Two essays well worth the time to read: Diana West & Sonia Bailey

Posted on by

First, Diana West’s new article which is getting some notable people to call me raving about it.

And yes, these two essays share a theme. And the theme is antisemitism. But neither of them are the kinds of approach to the subject which we have become accustomed. The threat by the left made flesh by Mark Carney in Canada, Ms. Bailey explains well with antisemitism being an aspect of it. And Diana brilliantly exposes how modern antisemitism was in fact created as a stalinist weapon, including the word, “Zionist” as a slur. Both also detail Islamic antisemitism and for that matter, islamic anti-everything, and how it has been made to flourish under leftist leadership.

Rogan and Dhimmitude

I’ve been on a journey. It bends time and distance. It dries the eyes. It tries the patience. It takes healthy brain cells and makes them moribund. But I have persevered. From Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper in the fall, to Joe Rogan and Darryl Cooper in the spring, then back to Joe Rogan and Douglas Murray and Dave Smith (boy, was Dave steamed when Darryl’s name came up again), and still the journey wasn’t over. I have now made my way through Piers Morgan and Dave Smith and John Spencer, staggering only a little.

I’m off the trail now. I confess that today I could not make it through Dave Smith’s video-“response” to Douglas Murray’s New York Post op-ed. Perhaps you will understand if I compare the Murray column to the Smith video in minutes, which is how podcasters measure things. Murray’s 1000-word-piece was readable in a couple of minutes, even if you move your lips. Smith’s response was 51-minutes-nearly-an-hour-long. That’s an awful lot of Dave Smith, on top of an awful lot of podcasting.

Why did I do this? My smart friends would tell me I was wasting my time becoming mired in Dialogue & Praxis, and no doubt they’re right. But I wanted to see what the Powers that Platform want us to see.

From Hitler (and the Jews) to Churchill (vs. Hitler and the Jews), to Gaza (and the Jews) to Israel (and the Jews) to morality (and the Jews) to war (and the Jews) to genocide (and the Jews), I think we find not a theme but a bludgeon: the Jews. I should probably mention that while trailing behind this passing virtual parade, I was seeking refuge of a sort in reading Stalin’s War Against the Jews by Arkady Vaksberg — I say “of a sort” because while the book is remarkable, the subject matter is grim as a chronicle of evil and insanity. Or is evil insanity? In any case, I have been learning much about Stalin’s psychotic strategies to deploy anti-Semitism kinetically (destroy Jews), the Jews who slavishly served him and were also devoured by these same strategies, and, throughout, the malignant cunning with which Stalin activated anti-Semitism in Soviet society to create Jews as enemies, foreign spies, and also “Zionists.” 

 And yes, there are alarming echoes. Indeed, it seems to have been Stalin who turned the term “Zionist” into a slur, which is something to think of when listening to the Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi or Candace Owens.

Next, Sonia Bailey, formerly a regular author at American Thinker, has just published her first article at RAIR Foundation.

Canada Votes Soon: A Globalist-Islamic Alliance and the Consequence for Jews

Mark Carney’s globalist agenda and the rise of Islam are reshaping Canada—eroding its national identity, silencing dissent, and fueling antisemitism. The upcoming election on April 28th will determine whether this transformation continues, or if Canadians push back to reclaim national control and confront the rising tide of antisemitism and moral collapse.

By Sonia Bailley

As Canadians head toward the April 28th election, the nation faces challenges from rising globalist agendas that lie at the heart of recently installed Prime Minister and Liberal leader Mark Carney’s platform. At the same time, Islam is gaining ground, exploiting the very cracks in Western society that globalism widens: the erosion of borders and public order, the collapse of cultural identity, the silencing of dissent, and the normalization of antisemitism. 

Europe serves as a cautionary example, where mass immigration and rising Islamic influence—fueled by globalist policies—have eroded national identity and civic order, unleashing a surge in antisemitism. These same patterns are erupting in Canada.

Carney’s leadership has accelerated these trends, raising concerns about Canada’s stability and the undermining of individual freedoms. However, Canada’s trajectory didn’t begin with Carney. It began nearly a decade ago under former Prime Minister Trudeau, whose policies aligned more with the interests of globalist organizations, such as the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Economic Forum (WEF), than with the people he was elected to represent.

But Trudeau didn’t implement this agenda alone. Carney was there from the start, quietly shaping the system from behind the scenes. As former Governor of the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and a leading voice in the UN and WEF, Carney helped shape the very globalist policies Canadians are living under.

Diana West on the LA fires, Lahaina and the state of the communist revolution in the West

Posted on by

Diana West is always worth listening to. We did this interview a couple of days ago, January 15, 2025 with Diana from her home in the US over the net and it was first published a few hours ago at RAIR.

Please put aside the time to watch this interview. There is a lot of very valuable insight here from one of the top, if not the top expert on the history of communist influence in the US. Diana has two books published on the subject. The Red Thread and American Betrayal. And the insights in this interview are eloquently put and simply stated.

Related materials to the points in the video which may help to overcome the horror and resultant disbelief.

In the interview, I overlaid some footage of Lahaina which without explanation doesn’t tell you enough. Below is the actual YouTube video it was taken from.

Diana West fact-checks Whitney Webb’s two volume book set

Posted on by

First, what does Whitney Webb say?

Here is an edited down version of a very long interview she did with Glenn Beck. We kept all the good bits, but the whole thing is an entertaining watch and can be seen here if anyone wants to check it out:

Veteran journalist, Diana West takes Whitney up on her challenge to fact check her two volume book, “One Nation Under Blackmail” and gives us a benchmark upon which to help determine veracity.

It’s a very good read and interesting. I would ask you to click through and read it from the beginning. I will just post a couple of paragraphs from a little ways down the page which speaks to many of us here in this community:

I’d like to pause to note that the “corruption of our core institutions” is something everyone (practically everyone) reading these words recognizes, mourns, rages at, all of us trying in our own way to survive what has happened, to our families, to our nation; and to resist it all and fight back. Indeed, it is in this shared tragedy where we might find the mechanism of Webb’s crossover appeal to us “outcasts” — we who already know the government is lying to us, even trying to kill us, and we who have long turned our backs on that government’s indispensable ally, the MSM. Some of us have been counter-culture for a long time; some of us woke up in this camp more recently —  due to the rolling coup d’etat by a sordid union of Intelligence and Organized Government against Donald Trump from 2016 onward (Webb doesn’t want to talk about that one); or the covid hoax, covid tyranny and covid die-off (2019 onward); or the vicious persecutions of the January 6 patriots (2021 onward); or one of so many other convulsions shaking loose the facts to show that We, the People are not sovereign over the State; rather, we are victims in its crosshairs. 

In other words, we can agree with what Whitney Webb is saying: Yes, our core institutions have been corrupted. But — and this is The Big Question — did it happen “in the type of way” the 33-year-old author is telling us?  Namely, by a “sordid union” in the 20th century of Intelligence and Organized Crime originally forged by J. Edgar Hoover and the Mafia? And isn’t there something missing from Webb’s 20th century  — like, um, uh, the sordid union of the KGB, cultural Marxists, things like that? 

Comments welcome.

Diana West and Katie Hopkins at CPAC 2018

Posted on by

Dear readers;

There is a powerful lot of interesting and important news links in today’s Reader’s Links post. Please dive in if you have a few minutes. Far more than I have had time to post today, but much deserving of being featured.

Here are two videos from CSP’s event at CPAC that are worth watching. Diana West, and Katie Hopkins, both of whom are worthy of the time.

 

 

The Totalitarian Impulse

The latest article on the highly unusual events that have followed the publication of Diana West’s book from Front Page to Gatestone. Please click here to read the whole article on one page.

Eeyore

 

As mentioned here Tuesday night, an article by Clare Lopez was published earlier that day at the Gatestone Institute’s website and then immediately removed. Since Ms. Lopez had referred favorably in her article to Diana West’s book American Betrayal, and since Ms. West recently had anathema pronounced against her for that same book, it seemed that there might be a connection between the two events.

And indeed there was. Our suspicions were correct.

I just received this information from a source close to Clare Lopez:

In late August 2013, Clare Lopez, then a Senior Fellow at the Gatestone Institute, submitted an article for publication at the Gatestone Institute’s website. It was entitled “Recognizing the Wrong People”, and drew on the U.S. government’s 1933 formal diplomatic recognition of the USSR as described in Diana West’s book American Betrayal to form an analogy with the U.S.’s present day recognition and/or support of other fundamentally-anti-American entities, such as the AQ/MB-dominated rebel and opposition forces in places like Egypt, Libya, and Syria.

As with all of Ms. Lopez’ previous articles, this one was well-received by Gatestone’s editor, Nina Rosenwald, who praised it as “so far-sighted.” The article was duly published the morning of Tuesday 3 September 2013 at Gatestone and was sent out to an email list of subscribers. Sometime shortly after that, however, it was pulled from the website, with no notice or explanation.

Word spread quickly as regular Gatestone readers realized something odd had happened.

Two items on the current race to ending individual right to expression and religion in the USA and the world.

Diana West wrote this article on what seems to be the US administrations galloping implementation of sharia norms and the rapid destruction of US constitutional ones.

As I often say to myself when thinking about these subjects, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day. But it was burned down in one’

By coincidence, I happened to have been pointed to the OIC chair’s recent interview on Al Jazeera TV published yesterday and noticed that while he is a very smooth talker, his arguments are rather full of misdirection, lies and logical fallacies, which of course they would have to be in order to achieve the intellectual slight of hand that the OIC is working towards, namely the replacement of actual individual rights to freedom of conscience and expression with medieval blasphemy laws.

Dealing with them all would make a video that would rival The Lord of the Rings so I just chose to address a few of the less obvious ones.

The whole interview is here:
