Well, here’s my latest obsession.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

108 years ago today, a red-headed farmer from Pall Mall, Tennessee did something in the Argonne Forest that still doesn't seem real.

Alvin York grew up dirt poor, a hard drinker and brawler, until a religious conversion in his twenties changed his whole life. When the draft notice came in 1917, he asked to be exempted as a conscientious objector. His church opposed war and so did he. The Army said no.

His battalion commander spent hours going through the Bible with him, trying to convince him that a man could fight and still be right with God. York went home on leave, prayed on it for two days on a mountainside, and came back ready.

On the morning of October 8, 1918, York was one of 17 men sent to slip behind German lines and knock out machine guns near Chatel-Chehery, France. They surprised a group of Germans and captured them. Then the machine guns on the ridge above opened up. Six Americans were killed instantly and three more went down wounded, including the sergeant in charge.

That left Cpl. York in command of seven men, most of them pinned flat guarding prisoners.

So York went to work. Every time a German gunner raised his head to fire, York shot him. He'd been shooting turkeys in the Tennessee hills since he was a kid and he was not missing at that range. When six Germans charged him with bayonets, he drew his pistol and dropped all six, starting with the last man and working forward, so the ones in front wouldn't realize what was happening.

A German officer, Lt. Paul Vollmer, emptied his pistol at York and missed every shot. Watching his men fall one after another, Vollmer finally called out in English and offered to surrender the whole position if York would stop shooting.

York agreed. Then he used Vollmer to order other German positions to give up as they marched back through the woods.

By the time he reached American lines, York had killed 25 men and was herding 132 prisoners in front of him with a handful of survivors.

When a general told him he'd heard York captured the whole German army, York said "No sir. I got only 132."

He was promoted to sergeant and received the Medal of Honor. New York threw him a ticker tape parade. Companies offered him a fortune to endorse their products and he turned almost all of it down. He went home to Tennessee, married his sweetheart, and spent years raising money to build a school for kids in the mountains who had no shot at an education.

When Hollywood finally made his story in 1941, he agreed partly to fund a Bible school. Gary Cooper won the Oscar for playing him.

The man who didn't want to go to war became the most famous American soldier of it.

Golda Meir, 1970: before the First World War this was not a Palestinian state. It was southern Syria under the Ottomans.

Then a British Mandate. Jews and Arabs.

No Palestinian nation. No country taken from a people that did not exist.

She was right and my god what a leader and woman she was. There is no such thing as Palestine. Stand with Israel. 🇮🇱 🙏💪

I am Iranian, and it gives me no pleasure to say this. I say it because I have already lived through what you still treat as unthinkable.

But Paul is right. 250,000 armed men can take a huge number of lives in 48 hours. Ten months ago, on 8 and 9 January, it happened in Iran. A relatively small number of regime IRGC gunmen killed at least 72,000 people. That is the latest figure President Trump has said was documented. I believe the real number is higher.

@DouglasKMurray once said that Westerners cannot really imagine what religious fanatics are like, and that despite all the rhetoric, everything changes when the other man might kill you.

Most people in England still cannot picture it. They think what happened in Iran on those two days, or what happened on 7 October, is a horror reserved for other people, in other places. It is not. You are not immune. Not at all.

Your politicians have brought the same kind of men into this country. IRGC, Hamas and Hezbollah supporters. No vetting. They live among you. Many of them are sleeper cells. They have not been activated, YET.

The people who were supposed to protect you are in bed with the same terrorists. Last month the US Treasury Secretary, @SecScottBessent , said on camera that Washington knows where the regime’s accounts sit in trust companies in the British Virgin Islands, and knows the hundred-million-dollar houses it owns around the world.

Regime’s new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been linked by a Bloomberg investigation to more than £100 million in luxury London property, held through intermediaries. That is the tip of the iceberg. So when I say something is going on behind the scenes, that is not a conspiracy theory.

They announce that the IRGC is banned, that diplomatic ties are cut, and so on. It is a sham. UK has been one of the biggest lifelines the Islamic regime has had.

I warned long ago that a parallel power structure was being built in the mosques, the community centres, and elsewhere. An army is being assembled. Once it is deployed, it will be too late. They may not be able to take over UK, but they certainly can inflict an unimaginable pain on you. They hate you enough for that. There is a reason they are called death cult.

Not long ago @manototv released a documentary, “This Is Our Story“, cut from footage of 8 and 9 January in Iran. I will put the YouTube link here. Watch it, and send it to the friend who is not political, who is not here in X, the liberal, the person who still defends this immigration madness and cannot see the monster growing in the dark. Tell them, you are not immune to this. Wake up before it is too late.

@RAPAP2021 @jillsdeal Roz, God loves you. He died for all us. Can you offer your broken heart to him? He wants to fill that space of your sacred sorrow. Any time you are ready He is waiting.

Some melodies aren’t just meant to be heard, they can be experienced visually, too. Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” offers a captivating blend of music and visual beauty.
