Best of the Web: What comes first, a Rafah invasion or a Netanyahu ousting?

Netanyahu
© The CradleFacing domestic and international pressure for Israel's US-backed Gaza assault, the Biden administration appears poised to throw Netanyahu under the proverbial bus.
In Gaza, a metaphorical "hostage" scenario has emerged, centered on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose political future is being bartered at a steep political price.

Although not physically detained, Netanyahu has been shackled by a complex situation since the 7 October Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, when Palestinian resistance groups took hundreds of soldiers and civilians captive as a bargaining chip.

That operation and Israel's subsequent brutal assault on Gaza has ensnared Netanyahu in a political and strategic quagmire, complicating his position daily and undermining his war objectives.

Internationally, Israel's carefully constructed image has entered pariah status, as accusations of "genocide," "war crimes," and "apartheid" fly liberally around global capital buildings and in mass street protests. This is a language that signals a strategic defeat for Tel Aviv - not at all the 'military victory' Netanyahu had promised his constituents and allies.

Best of the Web: Analysis reveals the US cities Biden is flying hundreds of thousands of migrants in controversial program, sparking national security fears

undocumented migrants 1
A new analysis reveals which U.S. cities where the majority of the migrants are arriving on President Joe Biden's program flying up to 30,000 undocumented migrants each month to be released into the U.S.
The vast majority of migrant flights President Joe Biden's White House is transporting directly from foreign countries to U.S. airports to bypass the southern border are landing in Florida.

A new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals that 326,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela arrived in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' state since the program started in January 2023.

Lawyers for Biden's immigration agencies refused to disclose through a FOIA request data on which airports were receiving the undocumented migrants, claiming it would compromise safety and create national security 'vulnerabilities.'

While the latest analysis reveals the eight cities with the highest number of arrivals, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed last month that the flights landed in at least 43 different American airports from January through December 2023.

Best of the Web: Japan's most senior Oncologist condemns Covid mRNA vaccines for causing 'turbocancers, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative' disorders

Prof Fukushima

Dear subscribers, I am back! As usual, highlights are above; full interview below. Today, I bring you a recent interview with Prof. Fukushima (SOURCE) that was published on April 19, after the mass protest in Japan.

It is interesting to hear Prof Fukushima introduce himself. If you read the "brought to you by Pfizer" mainstream media and fake fact-checking websites, they simply paint Prof Fukushima as a fringe anti-vaxxer. But when you hear about his history, you get a sense that this was someone highly prominent before he went against the narrative of "safe and effective."

As the most senior medical oncologist in Japan, Prof Fukushima has not only led the charge in establishing medical oncology as a key discipline but also pioneered the first cancer outpatient clinic at Kyoto University. His tenure at the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital and innovative leadership in translating research into actionable medical advancements, notably in pharmacoepidemiology, underscore a career dedicated to challenging the status quo for the sake of improving patient care. His early critique, published in 'Nature' all the way back in 1989, (35 years ago!), highlighted the risks of uncritically accepting and distributing drugs with unproven efficacy, exposing a deep flaw within the pharmaceutical approval process in Japan. This bravery in confronting pharmaceutical norms sparked significant reforms, showcasing his commitment to patient safety over complacency.

Comment: Alongside the US, Japan's medical professionals and government officials have been particularly prominent in sounding the alarm over the devastating side effects associated with the experimental covid injections: Seemingly less publicized is whether those nations which deployed their own, non-mRNA injections - such as Russia and China - have suffered a similar myriad of devastating side effects that are being widely documented across countries which deployed the jabs concocted by Western nations.

Best of the Web: Northern Ireland Unionist leader Jeffrey Donaldson and his wife appear in court on child rape charges


Comment: His party is the ultra-loyalist, ultra-'biblical' one representing Ireland's small but vociferously 'traditional' pro-UK, protestant christian minority...

Jeffrey Donaldson has made his first court appearance in Northern Ireland on sexual offence charges amid a heavy security presence.

The former Democratic Unionist party (DUP) leader is scheduled to appear at Newry magistrates court in County Down on Wednesday morning to face allegations of sexual abuse against two people.

It will be the first time the 61-year-old has been seen in public since 28 March when he was arrested and questioned along with a 57-year-old woman.


Comment: That would be his wife.


Comment: Polished media appearances only get you so far. Eventually, when you're a degenerate, the truth will out.

According to Belfast Live, Donaldson was charged with historic sexual offences against two children:
The man who was subsequently named by the DUP as Jeffrey Donaldson, was charged with rape, gross indecency and indecent assault.

His wife, subsequently named in court as Eleanor Donaldson, was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a child, aiding an abetting a charge of rape and aiding and abetting and charge of indecent assault.
It has long been common knowledge in the north of Ireland that the Unionist community is run by sadistic pedophiles. This is 'official reality' just catching up...

Best of the Web: Impeachment "whistleblower" was in the loop of Biden-Ukraine affairs that Trump wanted probed

The 'whistleblower' who sparked Donald Trump's first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden's office reveal.

In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country.

But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Biden's office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Biden's son Hunter millions of dollars.

Comment: Mr. Ciaramella has been unsuccessful in dodging public scrutiny since Sperry's original expose:

Destructive tornadoes gutted homes as they plowed through Nebraska and Iowa, and the dangerous storm threat could escalate Saturday as tornado-spawning storms pose a risk from Michigan to Texas.

The area of Elkhorn in Omaha, Nebraska, is one of the hardest-hit communities after severe storms barreled through parts of the Plains and South early Friday afternoon. A powerful tornado leveled homes, which crews were searching for anyone trapped or injured, local authorities announced Friday during a news conference.

Meanwhile in nearby Iowa, a large tornado was reported in the small city of Minden, according to the National Weather Service. Footage obtained by CNN shows the devastation of mangled structures and widespread debris.

The severe weather threat is expected to continue through Sunday, with Saturday possibly being the most dangerous day. Strong tornadoes are possible from Michigan to Texas, including in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City, Wichita, Dallas, Austin, Milwaukee and Chicago.

Best of the Web: The Right's future must be parallel, and counter-revolutionary

police brussels conservatism conference
© Gladden Pappin on XPolice blockading the entrance to the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels, April 16, 2024.
Last week I travelled to Brussels to attend the National Conservatism Conference. I was slated to speak on a panel on "The Future of Conservatism." Whether the panel would actually happen seemed in doubt for much of the time I was there, since the city's socialist authorities โ€” working in tandem with their local extreme-left paramilitaries โ€” came very close to successfully shutting down the conference. But by the second day we were still there, and it went forward. And in the end hopefully the drama served as just the right ambiance to help drive home the message on "the future" that I aimed to deliver to the mix of conservatives, classical liberals, populists, and various right-wing dissidents assembled there in the dark heart of European Values. This โ€” in a very lightly edited transcript of my speech โ€” is what I told them.
"What is to be done?" That seems to be the question on everyone's lips these days. Answering it is I think in fact the real purpose of this conference on National Conservatism here in Brussels.

By now most of us are well aware of the scope of the problems we face. Our societies are controlled by a transnational class of managerial elites increasingly isolated from the people they rule, and from reality. These elites, and the many institutions they control, have been captured by a revolutionary ideology that seeks to remake the world, and everyone in it, from the top down.

Farmers have been dealing with record-breaking rainfall over at least the past year, meaning food produced in Britain has fallen drastically.

Livestock and crops have been affected as fields have been submerged since last autumn on account of it being an exceptionally wet 18 months.

According to the Met Office, 1,695.9mm of rain fell from October 2022 to March 2024, the highest amount record for any 18-month period in England.

Here, British farmers and growers tell us how they have handled the inclement weather conditions and what the heavy rainfall means for their immediate futures.


'We are going to have an appalling harvest this year'

Our farm is mainly arable so it's crops that we grow. The constraints that we are facing this year means we are going to have an appalling harvest. We've hardly got any crops in the ground at all, I've only managed to get 30 hectares [74 acres] of my 170 hectares planted and we have 110 hectares of "croppable" land. That's less than a third.
