The Eighth Front

The Netanyahu regime has reportedly opened yet another front, this time on the American Internet, according to both Max Blumenthal and Alistair Crooke. The latter recently appeared on Judge Napolitano’s show:

The eighth front is inside the United States, and it is the front that is against—if you like—the podcasters and the influencers that are on the internet. This is because they have already largely bought the mainstream media and have been controlling that from the Obama administration on. We all see that now, the details of how much they were controlling things through COVID and everything else.

Now, the eighth front is really the war that I think Max Blumenthal has been outlining very clearly: the war against people like Charlie Kirk and against others who are questioning why it is “Israel first” and not “America first.” They are asking, “What is this takeover of America by Israel and these big Jewish oligarch billionaires who seem to wield huge influence?” These are the same people who have just bought TikTok because they don’t like it; its algorithm doesn’t seem to give enough support to Israel, so they’re going to change the algorithm to make sure it changes its position.

So that’s the front. The front is to maintain control and to have influence over the young Americans, be they Republican or Democrats. But the young Americans—you would know this much more than me as an outsider—are drifting away very noticeably from supporting Israel, as is the rest of the world. And this is an existential threat because if Israel loses America, it’s an existential threat to its future.

Is the Israeli government actually concerned about the effect of alternative media, such as the one you and I are on at this very moment?

Very concerned about it. Very concerned because these young people, these young MAGA people, the sort of Nick Fuentes and people like this, Charlie Kirk—I mean, they are still quite young, but quite clearly they’re going to move into positions of power increasingly in the United States. And if they’ve lost the young, they are going to lose America. Not today, not tomorrow, but this is the eighth front. This is the big war that Israel and Netanyahu believe they cannot lose.

They must keep control over the internet media system, as well as the mainstream system. So they’re splashing out, buying up as much as they can, which I think Max Blumenthal has outlined quite extensively.

However, based upon a) the selection of influencers and b) the inept rhetoric, I very much doubt this eighth front is going to enjoy very much success.

MEET NETANYAHU’S PRO-ISRAEL INFLUENCERS

Debra Lea, Lizzy Savetsky, Emily Austin, Shay Szabo, The Latino Zionist, Hannah Faulkner.

These are 7 identified influencers who met with Netanyahu to plan for their Israeli propaganda campaign as part of Israel’s 8th Front War. Netanyahu instructed them to:

– Target TikTok & X

– Christians who criticize Israel are Woke Reich

“Woke Reich.” Oh my. Boomer confirmed! I haven’t seen a rhetorical misstep that bad since “Gamers are Dead” launched GamerGate. Also, needs more umlauts. Völk Reich would be more like it.

Now, anyone can buy all the influencers they like, but what they’ll soon find is that the influence wielded on their behalf is essentially nonexistent because a sponsored influencer is primarily useful for exposure, not for directing opinions. No one is going to change their minds about anything because Nickles Fuentes or The Latino Zionist tell them to do so.

Especially if Col. Macgregor is correct and Israel is about to launch Round 2 with Iran on its own without significant assistance from the US military.

You Heard Right

Pursuant to last night’s impromptu The Dark Lord’s Happy Fun Hour on the Owen Benjamin show, the number of times that someone says “Harry” in the Harry Potter movies is both insane and maddening.

Harry Potter’s full name occurs 134 times in total.

17 times in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
26 times in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
6 times in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
12 times in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
6 times in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
21 times in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
19 times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
27 times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II
and

The word “Harry” appears a grand total of 695 times.

The word “Potter” appears a grand total of 265 times.

It’s an audio form of the old Chinese Water Torture. I have absolutely no doubt that being forced to listen to the audio track of the Harry Potter movies would qualify as a serious violation of the Geneva Convention.

Also, as far as that whole “everyone is welcome back on YouTube now” theme that’s been going around, well, that does not actually appear to be the case. Here is what I was greeted with when I attempted to sign in to my channel. Remember, I was never even accused of violating any rules, guidelines, or policies.

Kimmel is Back

As expected, Disney didn’t wait very long before bringing Jimmy Kimmel back.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late-night TV is set to be a ratings disaster after 70 ABC affiliate stations said they would not be broadcasting Tuesday’s show.

Nexstar said Tuesday morning it would not be screening Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the 32 ABC stations it owns, Variety reported, joining fellow broadcaster Sinclair who already announced their decision. Sinclair’s stations include KOMO in Seattle and KATU in Portland – two liberal enclaves whose locals are natural Kimmel viewers and likely vital to his success. The company owns a total 38 ABC affiliates.

That means close to a third of ABC’s 230 local-level stations will not run the network’s flagship late-night show, which was pulled off air last Wednesday. Kimmel’s show will also be drained of vital advertiser cash that would have been spent had his show been screened on the affiliates as usual.

The thing is, Kimmel’s show was already a ratings disaster, so that’s clearly not something that concerns Disney. For some reason, 10 years after the publication of SJWS ALWAYS LIE, conservatives still believe that converged corporations care about profit.

But as Kimmel’s restoration proves, again, profit is not their primary concern.

Disney Will Bring Kimmel Back

Hence the “suspension” rather than an outright cancellation:

Walt Disney representatives and talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel raced to find the right words on Wednesday to calm a social media furor that erupted following criticism of his remarks about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Kimmel’s comments in his monologue on Monday had angered many, and the reaction reached a fever pitch on Wednesday, including death threats that raised concerns for the safety of Kimmel and his staff, the source said. The late-night host prepared to make a statement, but Kimmel and Disney representatives could not find language that they agreed would not further inflame the situation, the source said.

As the show’s 4:30 p.m. taping time approached, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment co-Chairman Dana Walden agreed that the best approach would be to take the show off the air and later find a way to bring Kimmel back, the source said. Walden informed Kimmel of the decision.

The Left protects its extremists. The Right falls all over itself to disavow its extremists. Which is why there is no cost to walk the broad and easy path, until there is.

Next Man Up

It certainly appears that Mr. Fuentes took the offer that his immediate predecessor turned down. Isn’t it fascinating to observe how the self-styled “most-canceled man in America” is suddenly being granted mainstream platforms?

At least we have the answer to who the next major gatekeeper will be. It should be amusing to see Mr. Fuentes doing interviews with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and the Weinstein brothers. The conversations about conversations should be informative indeed.

There is an informative commentary on US politics in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon Boy.

Uncle Henry sat down. “Otto could speak off the cuff as easily as you could spit prune pits. He could talk for a full hour with only one or two thoughts to keep him company, and when people suggested he run for Congress, he said he’d be delighted. He had done well for himself, selling flavored grain alcohol to nondrinkers, but the market was drying up now that Montanans could walk into any pharmacy and purchase all the cocaine they needed.

“Otto campaigned on the back of a manure spreader. He said, ‘This is the first time I have spoken from a Republican platform.’ He made speeches against Wall Street and the railroad barons and their terrible greed at the expense of the honest workingman and tradesman, and he was elected with sixty percent of the vote and went to Washington, where he discovered that his outspoken opposition to the railroads had raised the cash value of his vote on railroad bills considerably. A Republican in favor of free enterprise got chicken feed for his vote compared to the People’s Champion from the High Plains.

“Otto once told my father that bribery was simply a case of the free market at work simplifying the decision-making process. He had a fine time in Congress and did not overexert himself. He met with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lawyers, who were helpful in advising him on regulatory matters. He passed antitrust laws that had about as much effect as a fart in a cyclone, and every two years he put on his old clothes and came home to roam the state and thunder against the Special Interests and the Malefactors of Wealth, and the Republicans put up some squinty old guy with bad breath, and Otto was elected to four terms.

“He moved to New York City after he got beat, running for a fifth term. There had been a bill that would allow the railroads to trade parts of their original land grant for parts of the Crow Reservation and thus open up forty square miles for copper mining, and Otto was going to vote for it, and then Balestrand started talking to him about the Indians and what a rough deal they got, how they were robbed, and the two of them shared a bottle of O-ho-no-ma-wa-hee, and Otto’s conscience was aroused after years of lying dormant. He voted nay. The bill passed, of course, and in the fall, the Republicans put up a cowboy against him, a Rough Rider in the Spanish War, a husband and a father of six, with a level gaze and a square jaw and a cleft in his chin, and the Republican newspapers accused Otto of wanting to give Montana back to the savages, and he was thrashed in the election.“

Owen Wept

The Big Bear must be rolling his eyes watching a mainstream “comedian” like Jimmy Kimmel trying to save his career by appealing to the Jester’s Prerogative.

‘The MAGA gang desperately [is] trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,’ Kimmel said Monday, adding that the far-right was scrambling ‘to score political points from it.’

Those comments sparked swift outrage among conservatives and even drew the attention of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who labeled Kimmel’s words ‘some of the sickest conduct possible.’ But rather than soften his stance, sources say Kimmel intended to double down on his next broadcast, a move Disney executives feared would further inflame tensions.

For Kimmel, who has helmed the late-night staple since 2003, the suspension marks the first major interruption of his 22-year run. Friends say the comedian is ‘angry but unbowed’ and feels Disney caved to political pressure.

After the announcement, a source told The Daily Mail that Kimmel ‘feels betrayed.’ ‘Jimmy has always pushed boundaries, that’s what his audience expects,’ the insider revealed. ‘The idea that one comment could sideline him after everything he’s given ABC — he’s gutted, but he’s not sorry.’

It’s always amusing to see what people in the mainstream believe is “the far-right”. The actual Right, the real Right, the only Right, isn’t trying to score one single political point from what is reported to be the assassination of a milquetoast conservative employed by foreign interests. Nor do we celebrate it. Why would we, since he’ll be replaced by another manufactured “success” before long. This Charlie Kirk tweet should suffice to explain my complete indifference to his reported fate.

Sure they are. By far… Those must have been some fascinating ideas and arguments derived from the complete literary works of Jordan B. Peterson.

This will be my last word on Charlie Kirk because I never considered him anything but irrelevant, and what little I’ve learned about him in the last week has only confirmed my total lack of interest in whatever it was that he was selling to the American public. Be offended if you like, but observe that you’ll search 21 years of archives here in vain without a single reference to him prior to the recent events.

Back to the cancel culture boomerang. It’s even more amusing to see a mainstream clown like Jimmy Kimmel appealing to the same Jester’s Prerogative that didn’t protect Owen Benjamin back in the day. No one cares how many boundaries you’ve pushed in the past, the point is that you pushed too far for the current political climate and therefore you’re canceled.

Get used to it and learn to code.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Or rather, what one hopes will turn out to be the attempted assassination of Conservative Inc.’s current spokesman.

Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem. Footage from the scene showed eventgoers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday. The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area at the Turning Point USA event Wednesday, according to bystander accounts.

If the orcs and goblins of Clown World are going after the cuckservatives, it’s probably best for genuine nationalists to stay frosty and stay very far away from public speaking events on college campuses… which is not exactly a problem.

If Charlie dies, this may prove to be the first shot fired in Round Two. It should be noted that the Right didn’t start it. It’s far too soon to know what the eventual impact will be, but it would not be surprising if Charlie Kirk’s death also marks the end of the moderate Right.

UPDATE: The man arrested appears to be a 60-something liberal Boomer. But he may not be the shooter.

UPDATE: MSNBC just speculated the Charlie Kirk shooting could have “been a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.”

UPDATE: He didn’t make it. Requiescat in pace. Charlie Kirk was 31 years old.

The Media is Outdated

Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated makes a cogent point about how today’s media simply doesn’t understand how people actually utilize the media today.

Please explain to us the economic rationalization of ESPN’s U.S. Open coverage. Specifically, why does the network, without fail, assume that tennis/sports fans always value big names over interesting matches that are well underway? For example, instead of sticking with the third set of a compelling match featuring an American ([Amanda] Anisimova), they switch the beginning of [Iga] Świątek’s third round match against an under matched opponent straight. They cut from [Adrian] Mannarino vs. [ Jiří] Lehečka, a fun match heading into the fourth, to bring us Alcaraz’s Round of 16 match, because god forbid we see anyone but the highest seeds play tennis. Yes, I know I have the option of paying for ESPN+. But why not mix things up and put Alcaraz and Świątek’s on ESPN+? Surely fans would be more likely to pay to see them than Mannarino? Are people really turning off a good match because they don’t recognize or consistently root for the players? Doesn’t ESPN realize that I’d rather maintain my righteous indignation than give the streaming services another red cent?

Taylor Witkin, Malden, MA

• Here’s the TV dance. Hardcore fans say, Why are you showing me this blowout involving a star when, say, Jenson Brooksby and Flavio Cobolli are having a gripping battle. The network executives say, You are armed with data showing fans like stars. Why are we airing Cobolli vs. Brooksby when Sinner is playing? Which is TV criticism distilled to its essence. One person likes broadcaster X for her modesty, while another says she is boring and predictable. One person likes the courtside reporter. Another says they are distracting. More doubles! Why are you polluting my Labor Day afternoon with doubles!

Any complaint, as Taylor notes, is met with: Download the app or register for the plus channel, check out our direct-to-consumer option, and you can watch any match, anytime. (You just have to pay for it.)

Here’s my overarching television criticism. Most sports have become niche, tennis included—disintermediation and all. Fewer people pick up a remote control and happen to come across tennis. Fans are there intentionally. For the U.S. Open coverage—never mind the Australian Open coverage at unholy hours—most are hardcore. Treat them like the aficionados they are. The storylines are presented broadly and blandly. (Rafael Nadal retired, but there is a new Spanish bull! The U.S. Open is an asphalt jungle! Something is in the water in Italy. Djokovic is battling Father Time.) Telling the same anecdotes again and again and again? (Alexander Bublik went to Vegas! The dad is Corey, so she goes by Coco! Jessica Pegula is a Bills fan because her dad owns the team!) It insults the audience and seems to me to be a fundamental misreading of media consumption in 2025.

We’re in a vertical world but the media still operates in a horizontal manner. And if this is true of something as simple as sports, imagine how much more true it is of more complicated matters such as economics, history, science, and war.

British Girls vs Migrants: The Real Story

Remember, the Official Story is always, ALWAYS, wrong in at least one or more substantive details. So, it should come as no surprise that the British media is not only attempting to falsely spin the story of the young British girl who defended her sister from an alleged attack by a migrant sex pest, but appears to have gotten a number of basic details wrong as well.

Here is the Daily Mail’s attempt to whitewash the story in favor of the migrant and alleged attacker.

Now we can reveal the man being threatened is a family man who has been living in the UK for four years – and who was accompanied by his wife on the way to the shops when the incident occurred. Far from being fresh off a cross-channel small inflatable, as implied by Robinson and Musk, Fatos Ali Dumana, 21, says he came to Britain legally from Bulgaria and he and his wife have an eight-month-old baby.

The self-styled ‘digital creator’ took the chance to have his own say on the bust-up which launched a thousand memes – and which also led to the girl being charged by police. Speaking from his home in Dundee, Mr Dumana insisted he did nothing wrong and is in the country legitimately.

He said: ‘I have seen the social media and it’s blown up. In the video she’s saying, “Don’t touch my sister, she’s only 12. I never touched her. I didn’t hit her, I swear on my life, I have a baby now. I would never hurt someone. If she’s only 12 why was she messing with me and having weapons? I was going to the shop and she was stopping me going on my way. If I did hurt the girl, why didn’t the police arrest me? They have done nothing to me. ‘They saw from the CCTV cameras from Farmfoods that she was stopping me go on my way to the shop. There was one more person also who told them (the police) she was attacking me and calling me a f* migrant. ‘I am not an illegal migrant. I have not done anything. I did not hit them, I am a human not an animal.’

So, there are several obvious red flags in the Daily Mail’s version:

  • He is a migrant from Bulgaria. No one said, or cares, how recently he arrived or whether he is “legal” or not. He is quite literally “a fucking migrant”. The distinction between “illegal migrant” and “legal migrant” is arbitrary, irrelevant, and intended to obscure the issue.
  • Presumably the police didn’t arrest him for the same reason they didn’t arrest any of the Rotherham rapists or the dozens of other migrant sex pests attacking young British girls. The police are evil and an important element of the war on the British people; the order they are employed to maintain is a wicked, anti-British, and anti-Christian order.
  • She is carrying weapons at the age of 12 to defend herself and her sister from foreign sex assailants because she believes, correctly, that neither the police nor British men are going to defend her.
  • The over-the-top victim rhetoric. “I am a human not an animal” is the sort of thing that third-worlders say because they behave like animals. A civilized individual never has any need to point it out.
  • The “I could never” rhetoric. Never trust the word of anyone who attempts to substitute irrelevancies for actual impossibilities. “I was not there” is an alibi. “I have a baby” is not.
  • He mentions “one more person” without clarifying that it was a third girl who is a friend of the two girls, an eyewitness to the attack, and was the individual who contacted the police.
  • The article states that he was accompanied by his wife but not by their 8-month old baby. Was the woman with him actually his wife?
  • You know it’s a Clown World propaganda piece in defense of the Narrative when they’re not accepting comments on the article.

Now the real story from the mother of the THIRD girl who was there, who was an eyewitness to what she claimed was an attack by two migrants, and who called the police.

I spoke with the mom of one of the girls and got the entire story that the media is covering up and lying about. So first of all, the reporting got the names of the girls mixed up. There were 3 girls who were there who were accosted and attacked by the migrants. Lola – Lola is the hero from the video. She’s the one with the axe defending her sister from the migrant attackers Ruby – Lola’s older sister who was attacked and hospitalized, Mayah – Ruby’s best friend who was with them and went to call the police after Ruby was attacked by the migrants

Here’s the summary of what happened from Mayah’s mother:

“Yes. So what happened was the girls where out just walking and the man in the picture made comments to lola (the younger girl) calling her sexy and other sexual remarks then the girls started to tell this man to leave them alone and stop following them and making sexual remarks to them. After that the man’s sister (also in the picture) came around the corner and physically attacked ruby (the older sister) she grabbed her hair dragged her to the floor started to punch her then both the man and woman where kicking her in head while she was on the floor. At this point my daughter (mayah) called the police so my daughters account after that is all a bit blurry. But that is when lola had the weapons she pulled them out to protect ruby. After that the man came back at lola recording her making sure she showed the weapons to the camera and antagonising her. Ruby was hospitalised after the attack with a severe concussion a tennis ball sized lump to the back of her head as well as lots of bruises.”

Never, ever, take anything the mainstream media says at face value. It’s always a spin and it’s always in the same direction. The fact that the story has already gone viral and spawned a series of effective means is why they’re attempting to get out ahead of it and spin their usual false narrative about how foreign invaders never did nothing to nobody and if you think they did, well, you’re just a racist.

UPDATE: The BBC inadvertently demonstrates why British police reports cannot be trusted while trying to establish the Narrative.

BBC News understands that officers have found no evidence to substantiate claims being made online the youths were at risk of sexual assault. The force had initially said she was 14, before issuing a correction.

First, notice the focus on the claim of being “at risk of sexual assault” as opposed to the actual claim of “were physically assaulted by migrants”. Second, note that they didn’t get the age of the girl or the number of girls correct. And third, in the aftermath of Jimmy Savile and Rotherham, why would anyone take anything that the British police say seriously? They’re confirmed liars.

UPDATE: Curiouser and curiouser. If this is the couple that attacked and filmed the girls, then the Bulgarian migrant being portrayed as the innocent victim by the Daily Mail wasn’t even involved at all and is probably just a crisis actor. It’s obviously not the same man; among other things, there is no cross tattoo on the neck.
