i began this blogspot to save sending emails to all i suspected might need or want to review: avoid being a spammer. so consider these things i thought you might find interest in. if you like what you see, pass it on. If the power elites didn’t need the consent of the public to rule, they wouldn’t have to lie constantly about their reasons for their wars on everyone. as gore vidal said: i'm not a conspiracy theorist, i'm a conspiracy observer.

things are unsettled we see here in israel and that leaves us unclear on how to set our bets for new developments;
Today’s story in the NY Times, which details a growing clash between Israeli Generals and the Netanyahu government, comes on the heels of a similar report last week in the Washington Post. According to the NY Times:
Israel’s top generals want to begin a cease-fire in Gaza even if it keeps Hamas in power for the time being, widening a rift between the military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has opposed a truce that would allow Hamas to survive the war.
The generals think that a truce would be the best way of freeing the roughly 120 Israelis still held, both dead and alive, in Gaza, according to interviews with six current and former security officials.
Underequipped for further fighting after Israel’s longest war in decades, the generals also think their forces need time to recuperate in case a land war breaks out against Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia that has been locked in a low-level fight with Israel since October, multiple officials said.
Wow! There is a dose of bad news. When your army is “underequipped” and exhausted, the last thing you want to do is start a new offensive against a military force that is well-equipped and rested. That would be Hezbollah. Last week at this time I was genuinely worried that Israel would make good on its bombast and launch itself into southern Lebanon. Now, in light of this information, I no longer think an Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon is imminent. This does not mean that Israel will relent in its aerial bombardment of suspected Hezbollah enclaves, but a bombing campaign will not defeat the ground force that Hezbollah has in place to confront an Israeli attack.
Consider this — Israel claims that after almost eight months of unrelenting destruction of Palestinian homes, schools, hospitals and businesses, it has killed 14,000 Hamas fighters. I have no way of judging the accuracy of that claim. Well, here is another number — 100,000. That is the estimated size of the Hezbollah army and they are well-secured in heavily fortified bunkers waiting for the Israeli promised offensive. Since Israel has been unable to defeat and destroy Hamas guerrillas after eight months of brutal fighting, how does it propose to vanquish a real Hezbollah force staffed by combat veterans who have spent a decade fighting ISIS in Syria?
Maybe that is why senior Israeli officers are saying the following:..........more.........
this is indeed sain't obama's third term. will he manage a fourth? i saw a comment yesterday in which said obama hoped in some way he could have a third but would need to be behind the scenes, as we see here now;
The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.
Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ. They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith.
The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.
If you research the group, you will discover that Mary McCord sits at the center of every attack approach deployed against President Trump {CITATION}. The influence of McCord cannot be overstated, while gender fluid leftists like Eisen, Weissmann (and others), wax philosophically about which statutes can be twisted and interpreted to assist their Lawfare strategy du jour..........more.........

The Supreme Court Ruled Not for Trump But for the Office of the President
Paul Craig Roberts
The US Supreme Court has ruled that a president has immunity for official acts, but not for personal acts. Which is which will be a contentious issue. For example, if a president were to have the CIA, FBI, or Secret Service murder a political rival that would be a personal act. But when President Obama had the US military murder a US citizen suspected of being a terrorist, it was an official act.
But was it? The justification for the murder was suspicion alone, a bare-faced accusation unconfirmed by a trial and therefore in violation of due process. Has it ever been established that it is an official act for a president to have a US citizen murdered without due process? Perhaps it has happened secretly by the CIA but my impression is that President Obama’s murder of the Muslim religious leader who was an American citizen was the first public murder without due process and conviction delivering a death penalty.
Nothing was made of the murder because Americans had been indoctrinated with fear of Muslim terrorists and regarded the murder as an act of war.
When vice president Biden bragged on TV that he forced by withholding billions of dollars in US aid from the Ukraine government unless it fired the prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian company that paid his son $50,000 a month as a director, was it an official act or a personal act? Why has there been no investigation of this self-serving use of presidential authority?
The Supreme Court majority emphasized that a president must have immunity for official acts or he can be stopped by law suits and politically motivated charges from performing his designated functions. In other words, the Court’s decision is based on elementary common sense.........more........
