When I was a Delta pilot, I used to layover in Minneapolis a lot. I visited the Mall of America a few years ago. I’d heard about it and had lots of time to kill. The copilot told me not to waste my time but I was super bored. I went for it.
I immediately regretted it. I felt like I was back in Mogadishu in 1993. Black Hawk Down vibes. It’s a third world hell hole. Couldn’t wait to leave. It’s not the United States, it’s Somalia.
We don’t want it and we don’t want @Ilhan.
In my posts, I’m exposing the truth, the reality of the evil that prevails in the Middle East, from someone who lived it for decades as a US Air Force pilot and has seen it up close and personally.
I’ve served in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman, and Pakistan.
I will provide you the absolutes (and some handy talking points) about today’s conflict, exploring the foundations of the State of Israel, the true nature of the region referred to as “Palestine,” the reality of Hamas and Hezbollah, and the ultimate nexus that is Iran.
Today, we’re looking at the history of Israel and its right to exist.
Never, in the history of the region, has there been a nation of “Palestine.” The region referred to as Israel has been many things: the Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the Babylonian Empire, the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the British Mandate among them.
But it’s never been a nation of Palestine. Let me repeat that:
There’s never been a Palestinian state. And there weren’t “Palestinians” until the 1960s, as we’ll explore later. There has been, and is, a nation of Israel.
Here’s the factual chronology of the history of Israel:
Prior to the two world wars of the last century, the region now known as Israel was mostly uninhabited, uncultivated, and swampy. In other words, the Arab landholders of the region didn’t want it. It was cheap real estate that only the Jews saw value in.
So, between WWI and WWII, Jews began purchasing land — legally — from absentee landlords living in Cairo, Beirut, Damascus, Paris, and elsewhere. Jews, hoping to avoid confrontation with their Arab neighbors, purchased land largely unpopulated and inexpensive.
The State of Israel was created peacefully, orderly, and legally through the United Nations.
In fact, the area was not created from Palestinian lands, since there were none, but those of the Ottoman Empire, who had ruled the area for 400 years. The Turks lost ownership of the region as a result of aligning themselves with Germany during WWI and the post-war realignment that took place as a result.
It was also after WWI that the present states of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq were created by the countries of England and France as they diced up the area as spoils of victory in war and created state boundaries for the first time in the region.
The new Arab states didn’t want fellow Arabs and the inhabitants who would later be called “Palestinians” to migrate to their territories. As we speak today, they still refuse Palestinian immigration.
In 1947, the UN partitioned a portion of the remaining lands into a two-state solution: a state of Israel for the Jews and a state for the then-homeless Arabs abandoned by their Arab neighbors.
The Arab Higher Committee called for Arab Muslims to leave the area so they could launch an attack. The leaders of the newly formed Arab states rejected the UN’s mandate, didn’t buy the establishment of a Jewish state, and immediately launched a war intended to extinguish Israel in 1948…and they lost.
Israel has, essentially, been at war ever since. If you’ve ever visited, Israel is on war footing 24/7, 365. And remains so today, as is evident with the Hamas attacks on innocent civilians recently.
In 1967, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan again attacked Israel in what is known as the Six-Day War, and Israel again prevailed. In the war’s aftermath, Israel occupied the captured territories of Sinai, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, although they chose not to officially annex them in hopes of ameliorating the local Arab population.

Globalism was sold with a promise of prosperity. In reality, it was the greatest redistribution of wealth in human history.
Globalism meant Western factories closed, borders opened, and jobs relocated to wherever it was cheaper and convenient. The industrial worker in Vienna, the Ruhr region, or Ohio became unemployed or was pushed into low-wage service sector work.
At the same time, profits ballooned for the middlemen who produce nothing. Financial conglomerates, importers, logistics giants, tech platforms, and consultants have pocketed the margin between cheap production in Asia and expensive sales in the West.
The result is a super-rich global elite and a left-behind, indebted proletariat. The middle class—the backbone of every free society—was crushed. This represents the greatest surge in inequality in a century. Without globalism, China would never have risen.
The West gave China everything, including its 2001 admission to the WTO, even though China lacked a true market economy or rule-of-law system. It was a voluntary technology transfer: anyone who wanted to produce in China was forced to hand over their intellectual property.
The West looked the other way on forced labor, state subsidies, currency manipulation, and technology theft. Capital on a scale of trillions of dollars has been pumped directly into China.
The West dismantled its own industrial base and rebuilt it in China. The West financed a totalitarian surveillance state that now uses Western money to rearm, buy up strategic ports, monopolise raw materials, and exercise leverage over us.
China did not rise despite the West, but because the globalist West built it that way. Short-term profit was prioritised over national security, industrial sovereignty, and local workforce stability.
A rootless, stateless elite in New York, Brussels, Berlin, and Shanghai feels at home everywhere and takes responsibility nowhere. In its wake are stranded communities, stripped of industry and upward mobility, entirely dependent on supply chains controlled by a foreign power.
This was no mistake. It is how the system was designed to work.
Now, you can understand why the democrats have been attacking me in Pennsylvania.
We uncovered 371,595 non-citizens & persons who are “unable to read, write, and understand the English language” in Philadelphia.
After cross-referencing the PA voter rolls, 50,000 voters have been flagged as potential alien matches.
50,000
Everyone is missing the point.
Robots will have a much more robust sensor suite than the Flock cameras, and they will be walking amongst us in a few years. They will see and remember everything.
I can’t wait. I want police bots. Millions of them.
I want zero crime. None.
Hackers pulled a Flock camera off its pole and copied everything inside it.
Then they handed the files to reporters.
This morning 404 Media and WIRED published what one of these cameras does when your car goes by 🧵
I don’t care if CNN, MSNBC and Politico are banned from The White House.
Going to The White House is a privilege, not a right. They can report news anywhere.
Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc… they said nothing — even worse they cheered it on.
