Former PFLP hostage reveals what 1970
hijacking really looked like - opinion

Original Article

I grew up in Trenton, New Jersey. I was interested only in what the Baltimore Orioles, my favorite baseball team, did the night before and whether Brooks Robinson made any great plays or had any clutch hits. In the summer of 1970, my parents, my four siblings, and I made our first trip to Israel. My father, the principal of a Jewish day school, returned home early, and the rest of us flew home on September 6, Labor Day weekend. After taking off from Frankfurt, Germany, where we had stopped for a refueling, we were hijacked over Brussels, Belgium. I vividly remember the hijackers running up the aisle

Comments:

Towards the end of this piece is how the king of Jordan dealt with the hijacking -- so effectively that there were no more hijackings to Jordan. He contrasts this with how Israel is constrained from using effective tactics to win the war with Hamas.

The crooked Biden administration is attempting to control Israel and help Hamas and the fake palestinians for political reasons. Israel is fighting for the right to exist. Israel should know that Americans are on their side.

King Hussein had big ones. He stopped terrorism in Jordan, with "Black September" or Jordanian civil war resulting, in which Hussein's Jordanian forces prevailed over Arafat's PLO and the PFLP, along with some unsuccessful intervention on behalf of the PLO by Syria. The writer sees the wisdom in taking a page from Hussein and allow Israel to stop terrorist attacks as Hussein did in Jordan. I hope Bibi can pull it off. Interesting that, at the end of this incident, the freed American Jewish hostages got a lecture from the State Department representative, while Israeli hostages got flowers from Israel's representatives. That speaks volumes about our State Department. It will only get worse if Democrats retain the presidency under Harris.

Does racial diversity cause lower fertility? 9 replies
Posted by Judy W. 9/9/2024 9:30:00 AM Post Reply
I know, it sounds like a far right conspiracy theory, however: (Snip) In the United States, local measures of racial and ethnic diversity are robustly associated with lower birth rates. A one standard deviation decrease in racial concentration (having people of many different races nearby) or increase in racial isolation (being from a numerically smaller race in that area) is associated with 0.064 and 0.044 fewer children, respectively, after controlling for many other drivers of birth rates. (Snip) The rise in racial diversity in the US since 1970 explains 44% of the decline in birth rates during that period, and 89% of the drop since 2006.

They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity. I have long said that Covid 19 was launched by design by a small number of people in the globalist predator class for one reason and one reason only — as a beta test for the coming technocratic new world order. Now, we’ve got the World Economic Forum coming out and all but admitting that was exactly why the Covid-19 “pandemic” had to happen.

True the Vote the first citizen voter integrity group in the 21st century, was started by Catherine Engelbrecht in 2009. At the time, she had been managing a manufacturing plant that supplied parts to the oil and gas industry in Texas for eleven years. Interviewed last month Patriots with Grit, she explained, “I had never been interested in politics, but after ‘09, I found government was everywhere, my kids school, health care, oil and gas, regulations out of control. How could citizens engage?” Engelbrecht hasn’t been out of court one day since 09, and the pretty blond country club woman today has the stripped down looks of a real fighter.

After engineer and data scientist Kim Brooks worked on cleaning the voter rolls in Georgia for a year, she realized she was on a stationary bicycle. She’d clear a name for various reasons, dead, felon, stolen ID, living at a seasonal campground for twenty years, duplicate, moved out of state, 200 years old, etc., and back it would come within a month. At that juncture she realized that a program within the Georgia voter registration database was methodically adding back fake names.

The Norman Conquest was the single most significant event to ever affect the English. It forever changed our language, our ruling class, our style of government, and the relationship between our kings and leaders and our common folk. For the old Anglo-Saxon nobility, it was a near genocidal catastrophe. Almost all of the Anglo-Saxon nobles saw their lands and property seized by their conquerors. Within a few short years most of the greatest lords were dead, if they hadn’t already been slaughtered at Hastings. Some of their lesser kind tried to sustain rebellion and resistance, the most famous of these being Hereward the Wake, who would become a particularly beloved

At dinner last night with an old friend in Vienna, he proposed that many officials in the European Union are now suffering from the syndrome that Dietrich Bonhoeffer described in the 1943 essay “Von der Dummheit” (“On Stupidity”). As Bonhoeffer described it, under the pressure of ideology and propaganda, many people—including those blessed with high native intelligence—may be seized by stupidity. Literally, they find themselves doing incredibly stupid things and participating in incredibly stupid enterprises that make no sense to people of ordinary prudence who have, for whatever reasons, remained immune to the stupidity contagion. The occasion of my friend’s reflections was the news that EU Commissioner

Since he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate earlier this week, there has been considerable chatter about the headache that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has caused. (Snip) As Gabe Kaminsky of the Washington Examiner reported about Walz and Imam Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota: Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler, the Washington Examiner found.

Way back in 1999 a young Haley Joel Osment said “I see dead people”. (Snip) I was suddenly reminded of the film when thinking about the way the mainstream media work and the odd way those of us not reliant on them now inhabit an entirely different reality to those of us who do get our understanding of the world purely from mainstream sources. The mainstream media of course selectively report the news. They constantly try to focus attention in one direction, and divert attention from another direction. Everything they allow to be seen is filtered through a lens of perpetual and oppressive bias.

A federally funded research project is actively recruiting "transgender" children to study the "mental health benefits" of puberty blockers, as part of a nationwide push to reshape public policy on pediatric "gender care." Three major U.S. children's hospitals, which all house gender clinics, are co-conducting this clinical study: Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio; Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois; and Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Since 2021, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), an agency of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has pumped over $3 million into the multi-site, longitudinal study, which was recently renewed for the 2024 fiscal year, per a repository of NIH-funded portfolios

Yahya Sinwar has been named the new head of Hamas’s political division, and congratulations are in order—mostly for Israel, which can see in Sinwar’s promotion the continuing fruits of its methodical dismantlement of Hamas. There are three reasons for the West to find encouragement in this latest turn of events. First, Hamas’s leadership bench is depleted, and Israel’s careful decapitation of its branches has been effective. Second, Sinwar’s consolidation of power, combined with his geographic isolation, turns Hamas from an organization into a literal death cult. Third, it collapses a comforting lie that the West tells itself about these terror groups, enabling a more honest conversation about how to defeat

Speaking on the popular X22 Report podcast, Patel shared his belief that President Biden might step down and hand the reins of the presidency to his vice president in a carefully orchestrated political move designed to shield his embattled family. Patel, who was promoting his new book Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy, didn’t mince words.

The Kamala Harris campaign has been actively courting some of the biggest Republican retreads they can find to earn their endorsement.

"I feel that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embody a group of people that will help make this country better. That will take us forward. That's really what matters at the end of the day," he said.

Federal prosecutors announced charges Monday against two people associated with ‘Terrorgram,’ an online network of white supremacists that encouraged attacks on Black, gay and immigrant targets, as well as assassinations of high-ranking American officials. Authorities said Dallas Erin Humber and Matthew Robert Allison promoted “the collapse of government and the rise of a white ethno-state” and had a global reach, inspiring attacks in Turkey and Slovakia as well as in the U.S. They used Telegram, a messaging app, to spread “target” lists, complete with addresses, and they disseminated how-to videos and manuals for making letter bombs and “dirty bombs” that mixed conventional explosives with radioactive material, according to the federal indictment.

Parody song-maker Brian Coyne, who recently created a parody video that absolutely blisters Kamala Harris and her never-ending lies, said the Democrat presidential nominee has become “the poster child for flip-flopping.”Kamala Harris has become the poster child for flip-flopping on everything from her ethnicity to policy. She steals policy ideas form her opponent, Donald Trump, while having almost no policies of her own. No wonder she avoids interviews like the plague!

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign finally added an 'issues' page to her presidential campaign website - 50 days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and just in time for her pivotal debate with Donald Trump. The 59-year-old Democratic presidential nominee had been unveiling components of her agenda in some policy speeches and campaign announcements, but has faced criticism for not providing an in-depth platform and for only giving one major interview. The new page titled 'A New Way Forward' includes four sections 'Build an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families,' 'Safeguard our Fundamental Freedoms,' 'Ensure Safety and Justice for All,' and
