Israel Admits Genocide

But not the recent one in Gaza. The Armenian one of 1915 to 1917, committed by the Turks.

The Israeli government’s decision to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide has become one of the most symbolic and politically sensitive steps in Israel’s relations with Türkiye. On the surface, it may look like Israel feels the need to restore historical justice: A state founded by a people who survived the horrific tragedy of the Holocaust proclaims a moral obligation to recognize the tragedies of other peoples and oppose the denial of crimes against humanity. But in world politics, moral arguments rarely exist in isolation; most often, they gain traction when they coincide with national interests.

 Israel’s move was addressed not so much towards Armenia or even Türkiye, but towards the US, where a struggle for the future balance of power in the Middle East is unfolding. Israel increasingly perceives Türkiye as the next major regional rival after Iran. While in the past, despite political crises and harsh rhetoric, Ankara and West Jerusalem had maintained space for pragmatic interaction, today this model has effectively collapsed. Türkiye pursues an independent role in the region, seeks to expand its influence in the Muslim world, and is striving to become one of the centers of power in the new architecture of the Middle East. This poses a strategic challenge for Israel. For decades, its security relied heavily on its qualitative military superiority, secured in part by US military aid, access to advanced technologies, and a special status within the US alliance system. However, if Türkiye gains expanded access to Western technology, this balance could begin to shift. This is precisely why the issue with the F-35 jets, and more broadly, the strengthening of Türkiye’s military-technical capabilities, is of fundamental importance to Israel. This isn’t just about the fighter jets; it’s a question of whether Israel will maintain its technological advantage in the region or whether Türkiye will gradually approach it in terms of the quality of its weapons, industrial base, and military capabilities. 

This is where the US factor comes in. In the US, the Armenian issue carries certain political weight because of the Armenian diaspora, congressmen, and lobbyists. By recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Israel may attempt to integrate into this sensitive agenda and thereby strengthen those forces in Washington that oppose excessive rapprochement with Türkiye.

In other words, Israel may intend to activate not only pro-Israeli but also pro-Armenian circles in American politics in order to oppose certain defense concessions to Ankara.

Playing the Armenian Genocide card is another sign that Israel is expecting to be engaging in military hostilities with Turkey sooner rather than later. Although I’m not sure it will be necessary, since Turkey already appears to be disengaging from NATO and the West in favor of Russia, China, and Iran, which even without Turkey has proven to be a more formidable alliance than anyone had anticipated.

Tears of a Clown

It’s a little late for the eviction from Number Ten Downing Street to be considered “gracious”. And, of course, the British prime ministership is going from “stupid, corrupt, and Zionist” to “insane and extreme socialist” so things aren’t going to get any better on the domestic or immigration fronts, although the enthusiasm for foreign invasions should be significantly reduced.

Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.

The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No10. 

But he acknowledged that his time as PM had run out. ‘I know the question being asked now is not who is best placed to change the Labour Party… the question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.’

He added: ‘I accept that answer with good grace… that is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.’ 

Sir Keir said there would be an ‘orderly’ process to choose his replacement, and that a successor would be in place before the Commons summer recess on July 16, if there is only one candidate – Mr Burnham. Otherwise, the decision could take until August.

I doubt it matters much who leads the Labour Party. The British people have no interest in being run by the Tories or Labour anymore. Why should they, when both parties have observably governed on behalf of their foreign invaders, at their expense and to their detriment.

Perhaps they can vote their way out of it, but that seems unlikely given the near-comprehensive failure of every conservative and/or nationalist party outside of Russia and El Salvador to deliver meaningful results that are genuinely beneficial to the people of the nation.

Watch the Wives

The British Prime Minister is still refusing to step down despite having no support left within the Labour Party because his wife won’t allow it. That’s not a loyal wife. That’s a handler:

Over the past 24 hours, the PM’s allies have fanned out to brief that she will be the decisive voice in determining whether he steps down, or opts to fight on. With the consensus conveniently being that she will urge him to dig in.

‘Vic is of the view, “You need to keep on going,”’ one pro-Starmer aide briefed. Another claimed she is ‘his rock’. ‘You hear second-hand she’s really pushing for him to stay.’

OK. But with the greatest respect to Lady Starmer, that’s not her decision to make.

It’s obviously natural that any senior politician would discuss the issue of their impending resignation with their close family members. But that is not what Starmer’s inner circle are briefing. According to them, Lady Starmer effectively has a veto of whether her husband stays in office or steps down. And she shouldn’t have. She is not a member of the Cabinet. She is not a Member of Parliament. She has no formal advisory role.

Until this point Downing Street has strenuously insisted she is entirely divorced from the Government’s political affairs, and should be afforded due privacy as a result. Yet we’re suddenly being told she is second-guessing the elected Cabinet, elected MPs, the tens of thousands of people who voted in the Makerfield by-election and the millions who voted in the recent local elections, and is ordering Sir Keir to stick his head in the sand.

Starmer’s fate was sealed the moment Andy Burnham got back into Parliament by winning the by-election and becoming eligible for a Labour Party leadership challenge. And I think we’ll see Britain cease to be quite so bellicose in both the Middle East and Russia once Starmer is forced out of office, which is probably why he’s being made to fight, and inevitably lose, an ignominious battle he cannot win.

Overton in the UK

It appears Niles Farage has belatedly realized that Restore is going to eat Reform’s lunch if he keeps calling them racists and Nazis and antisemites instead of supporting their resistance to the violent, decades-long assault on the British nation by Clown World and its various foreign invaders:

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has taken to Substack to accuse the British government of infecting the UK with “deep anti-white racism.” He also published damning racism and crime statistics in an essay, much of which would have been previously unspeakable.

Farage announced his migration to the platform on Saturday, saying that the move to Substack would allow him to speak directly to the British public without “the mainstream media constantly distort[ing] what I say.” One day later, Farage used this new platform to unleash a 7,000-word tirade against the British state, which, he argued, has become “a two tier state against white people.”

Farage took aim at decades of British policy that he says have unfairly benefited minorities and discriminated against white Britons. He highlighted Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies in healthcare, education, policing, and the military that he insists have been implemented to disadvantage white patients, students, and applicants, and promised to repeal the 2010 Equality Act which, in his words, ensures that “anti-Whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.”

In healthcare, the NHS prioritizes “ethnic minority communities” and “vulnerable migrants” for accelerated diagnosis and treatment, despite white Britons having the highest mortality rate of all the UK’s ethnic groups. In education, the poorest white Britons have the lowest outcomes of any demographic, yet are lectured about their “white privilege” and their “responsibility” to reduce racism, and sidelined when applying for university in favor of black students with lower exam scores, Farage said. In policing, he claimed, agencies across the country have adopted “race action plans” and done away with stop-and-frisk policies that seemingly target black men – even though at 13% of London’s population, this demographic is responsible for 61% of knife murder in the British capital.

Farage is, quite literally, a gatekeeper. I don’t trust anyone who stands with Clown World against anyone that the Clown Worlder’s are calling anything, because no one is dumb enough to keep falling for the same deceitful rhetoric after 65+ straight years of it. But he’s vastly preferable to the frauds of the Conservative Party and the lunatics of Labour.

And I suspect the realization that he could have kept out Barnham if he hadn’t ostracized the people who are now the Reform Party has scared him a little straight. Because the real contest going forward isn’t Labour vs Conservative, but Reform vs Restore. And since things will continue to get worse before they get better, and because Farage is a one-man operation without a successor, Restore is the better bet in the long run.

Because there is no way anyone can vote their way out of this sort of government:

As the Director of Public Prosecutions, current Prime Minister Keir Starmer let off 13,000 suspected Muslim rape gang members and paedophiles with WARNING LETTERS. Meanwhile he has actual British subjects jailed for social media posts & mean words.

This is what happens when you establish an international empire ruling over foreign nations. The more-enterprising, more-capable, and more-corruptible foreigners inevitably gravitate to the capital and eventually take over. Starmer isn’t English or even British. He is an Irishman married to a Jew.

Migrants for the Pro-Immigration Voters

The migrant camp policy of what is now the most powerful party in the UK is absolutely brilliant and its principle of calling the Left on its nonsensical and societally-destructive voting should be adopted by every nationalist party in the West across a wide range of policies:

We need to talk about Reform’s camp policy. I’m not talking about their policy of hiring lots of camp men. They do do that. I’m talking about their policy of putting migrant camps in Green Party areas. Lots of people on the left have said that this is appalling and disgusting. It’s punishing left-wing voters. It’s like, yeah, it is appalling and disgusting, but how can it be punishing left-wing voters? This is what you’ve been doing to other people for years, and you’ve always said that migrants are enriching. They’re our greatest strength! So, why aren’t you delighted that they’re being moved to your areas?

And lots of people in the right have criticized it as well. They’ve said, “Well, this is unfair on right-wing people who live in those areas, and this is just trollling and and this is doing something for attention.” But listen, the right-wing people were going to get those migrants anyway. It’s just now there’s a mechanism for stopping the flow. This is a way to change people’s minds and change people’s behaviors. Specifically, left-wing people who think that we should have open borders and who up until now have been completely insulated from the consequences of those open borders. Let’s have a look at the policy.

Now, it’s clear that the failed Uni Party era is over. And there is a battle for the soul of our country between Reform and the Greens. That’s why today we announce an important new policy. In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, we’re going to need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centers and each will be held there for a couple of weeks before being deported.

So here’s our promise. A reform government will not put any migrant detention centers in any constituency with a Reform MP. We will not put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritize Green parliamentary constituencies and Green-controlled councils to put those migrant detention centers. That means areas like right here in Brighton.

Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or a Reform MP, we guarantee you will not have a migrant detention center near you. However, if you vote Green, there’s a very good chance that you will. This way, everyone gets what they vote for.

Let them complain all they like. If you vote for open borders, then you get all the immigrants. No more sending them off to small towns in Iowa or Idaho. If you vote for data centers, then you get one built in your town. If you vote for windmills, they get built near your house. If you vote to release the crazies from the asylums, you get the homeless shelters in your neighborhoods. If you vote for the early release of violent offenders, then they are released in your town.

The principle is not even remotely unfair. To the contrary, it’s the most fair and democratic outcome possible. We know that pro-military voters have no problem with military bases in their areas; Congressmen even compete with each other to get military bases built in their districts. It’s long past time to call out the moronic Left on their actions and force them to live with the consequences of their wicked idiocy.

Israel Washes its Hands

The War of the Epstein Alliance can be safely regarded as lost now, as the Israelis are already trying to wash their hands of responsibility for the USA attacking Iran and defending Israel despite the war being observably against the interests of the American people.

US President Donald Trump made the decision to attack Iran after his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in late December 2025, but the foundations for that decision had been laid long beforehand, and much of them had nothing to do with Israel or Netanyahu. Conversations with a long list of diplomatic and security officials, Israelis, Americans and diplomats from the region, reveal a clear picture: The man in the White House had a top-tier strategic goal, to topple or decisively weaken the regime in Iran.

Moreover, reports published, among others, in The New York Times and The Washington Post, claiming that Netanyahu had “dragged” Trump and the US into war, partly by arguing that the regime could be brought down, are plainly wrong. The conversations I held indicate that at least some senior Trump administration officials, and Trump himself, were the ones who assessed that the regime could be toppled, while the Israeli team presented a far more cautious assessment on this issue.

A note: Such reporting by the two newspapers mentioned above was not surprising. Both took an anti-war line, consistent with their unfavorable coverage of the Trump administration and Netanyahu’s policies. In this case, according to a US official, they were fed by sources in certain departments at the State Department and the War Department who dislike what they see as the overly close ties between Jerusalem and Washington, certainly when it comes to Middle East policy…

 The fall of the regime in Iran would greatly ease the disarming of Hezbollah and the dismantling of its status in Lebanon, leave Hamas and Islamic Jihad without financial backing, and most likely bring down the Houthi regime in Yemen as well. But even before the war, and especially now, it is clear that this is an overly ambitious goal, certainly in the short term. The current focus, on the one hand, is preventing an agreement that would allow the regime to recover militarily, certainly on the nuclear and missile issues. Without an agreement, Israel supports further intensification of sanctions and economic warfare against Iran until it is completely paralyzed, alongside readiness for the resumption of the war in the near term, this time with a focus on strategic targets such as power stations.

The pointing of the finger at Israel as the party that pushed the US into the strike is therefore only partially correct. In practice, this was a purely American decision, based on an understanding that the regime poses a threat to America and the entire West, and certainly to US interests in the Middle East. Israel assisted with precise intelligence, on the nuclear and missile programs, on Iranian attacks against American targets, and on what happened during and after the protests. The clear convergence of interests with the US is what brought about the joint war, even if its end remains unclear.

I find this version of events less interesting for its attempt at revising history and more useful for indicating that at least some of the parties responsible for the war are attempting to avoid being held culpable for it, which is a very reliable indicator that the war failed to accomplish their goals and is expected to be considered something that is worthy of blame rather than praise.

This, in turn, indicates that everyone involved in prosecuting it is going to be highly motivated to bring it to an end sooner rather than later. The last oil tankers have already delivered their loads. The economic bite of the failed war is only beginning to be felt, and the blame game hasn’t even truly begun yet. The political fallout from it will not be insignificant, as the massive turnover in UK politics very likely demonstrates.

UPDATE: Local National Guard HIMARS artillery unit deployed to ME for a year is home now – they literally fired off everything they could find, painted so many fire mission marks on their launchers that they’re no longer camouflage, and have now sent 90% of their people home. The 10% that remain are working on getting the broken-down launchers out of the desert and onto ships back to the US. This gives me confidence that the war is over by default, and we are out of ammunition.

Wipeout UK

The headline is the way in which Labour was destroyed in the local elections in the United Kingdom. But the real news is the continuing demolition of the Conservative Party, which is being rightly rejected by Reform voters in response to its refusal to stop immigration and start repatriating the invaders.

The final results aren’t in yet, as only one-half of the local council elections have reported yet, but with both Labour and the Tories below the LibDems and Reform nearly doubling the Conservative vote, it’s very clear that the direction the two major parties have been dragging the UK since the Tony Blair years has been a very unpopular and antidemocratic one.

UPDATE: The results are even worse for Labour than had been anticipated.

The Red Wall Labour MP summed up the mood. ‘It’s not carnage. It’s f***ing carnage.’ The results are still coming in. But it’s not going to get any better. The pattern is set. In Labour’s former Northern heartlands, the party has not been defeated. Or even routed. It’s simply ceased to exist. The only councils where the party has been able to cling on are where only a third of the seats were up for election.

Trump in the Epstein Files

Congressman Ted Lieu (D:CA): “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations — allegations — of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.”

I could not be less interested in anyone from the Trump administration or professional Republican circles complaining about Democratic Party liars or pointing to past false accusations. There is a very easy way to prove that these accusations are false: release the Epstein files and documents and videos and pictures in their entirety.

Anything short of that is a) unacceptable and b) suspicious. No amount of evasion and explanation and justification is going to make this go away. If I was accused of such crimes, I wouldn’t even hesitate to put everything out there and make it absolutely clear who was guilty of these things and who was not.

Only the wicked need to hide in the dark.

Desperation in Defeat

Clown World appears to be losing any sense of perspective as its grasp on global power continues to slip away. None of these reports can be considered highly reliable, but there do appear to be some signs that we may be on the verge of finding out if nukes are real or not.

  1. In the last 24 hours, the U.S. military blasted out nearly 100 Emergency Action Messages (EAM’s) on its High-Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS). These are the encrypted orders sent to nuclear submarines, strategic bombers, and missile launch crews. On a normal day, you get about 10. The Pentagon has issued ZERO public statement.
  2. A recent Wall Street Journal article — Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears — reports that Trump’s spate of bizarre, vulgar, threatening posts on social media, e.g., threatening to end Iran as a civilization (implying the use of nuclear weapons), is simply a negotiating ploy — i.e., convince the Iranians that he is unstable and could do anything in order to convince Iran to make concessions. If that is genuinely Trump’s intention, it has backfired spectacularly. It has raised legitimate questions about his mental competence. Although Trump reportedly is terrified of getting bogged down in another forever war that he once vowed he would never do, I think he will order a new round of attacks in hopes that he will break Iran’s will to resist.
  3. On Saturday night, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force general Dan Caine stormed out of an emergency meeting with Trump. Insiders indicate that Trump wanted to evoke the nuclear codes as a deterrence against Iran during the ceasefire talks in Islamabad. But General Caine refused and invoked the US Uniform Code of Military Justice, the UCMJ, claiming specifically Article 92, covering Failure to Obey. Inside the military we call that the “duty to refuse” clause, that if given an unlawful order, we have a duty to refuse… Apparently, the Joint Chiefs of Staff went ahead and invoked the Article 92 clause.
  4. The US military has abandoned its last base in Syria and Russian warships are now docking in Syria.

Could be legit, could be cover for invoking the removal of the Short Fat Trump, could be both, or it could be fake. Either way, things do appear to be moving toward some kind of short-term resolution in the next month.
