Why Israel’s Electoral System is Virtually Fraud-Free
When people admire the Israeli electoral system and wonder how there is never a single claim of election fraud, they need to understand a few fundamental things:
* Israel is a democracy.
* Israel is not an apartheid state.
* The entire voting process is completely manual.

How the Process Works
First of all, there is no voter registration process - it is automatic for every Israeli citizen aged 18 and above. It does not matter whether you are Arab, Muslim, or Jewish; any citizen can vote (strictly limited to citizens, of course).
Second, you receive a notification slip in the mail specifying your name, the exact location and number of your designated polling station, and your serial number in that station's voter registry.

When you arrive, election officials verify your identity using an official government photo ID. No alternate or informal identification is permitted, and no one is allowed to "vouch" for another voter. If the photo on your ID is unclear, they may ask for a secondary ID, such as a driver's license.

Voting and Verification

Next, two officials locate your name in the physical registry assigned to that specific polling booth. Once they verify that your name, ID number, and serial number match their records, they hand you an official voting envelope that both of them have personally signed on the spot to ensure any non-official or tampered envelopes can be immediately detected.

In a completely manual fashion, they cross off your name with a ruler from the list of eligible voters. You then step behind a curtain, select the slip for the party or candidate you wish to vote for, place it inside the signed envelope, and step back out.

At that point, on a separate tracking log, they record that the voter assigned to your serial number has cast their ballot. You deposit your envelope into the ballot box, and your vote is done.

The Count

Once the polling station closes at 10:00 PM, the election committee - alongside representatives from multiple competing political parties -conducts a manual count of the votes for that specific booth.

Each official can physically verify that every envelope in the box bears the exact signatures they applied earlier that morning.

Only after this count is completed are the final numbers transmitted to the Central Elections Committee.

Up to this point, the process has been entirely manual, fully audited, and continuously monitored by individuals with competing interests who hold each other accountable.

An Open Concern About Appearances: The Catholic Church and the Midterms

I am Catholic. I say the rosary. I go to Mass. Nothing in what follows is an accusation against the Church, the Pope, or any bishop. It is a concern about how things look from the outside, and how that appearance is landing with millions of Americans right now.

This administration created a Justice Department task force on anti-Christian bias, pardoned twenty-three pro-life prisoners, stood up a White House Faith Office and a Religious Liberty Commission, designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern over the killing of Christians, and cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood. For a Catholic writer, that record is not nothing. It is, on its face, one of the most tangible pro-life and pro-faith agendas in modern presidential history.

In January 2025, the same administration suspended the refugee and migrant service contracts that had funded the USCCB and Catholic Charities for decades. Over one hundred million dollars a year. More than ninety-five percent of some program budgets. By spring, staff were laid off. By summer, agencies were closing programs. The money did not come back.

Institutions that lose their largest funding stream tend to find their moral vocabulary sharpening in the same direction as their budgets. I am not saying that is what happened. I am saying that is what it looks like, and that appearance is not going unnoticed.

Fourteen months later, in April 2026, the public statements from the Vatican and from American bishops toward this administration grew noticeably louder and more pointed than anything seen during the first term. Catholics see it. Non-Catholics see it.

And when a bishop speaks out days before a national election against one party’s immigration positions—which are prudential disagreements open to debate—while remaining silent on the other’s platform positions that contradict settled Church teaching on life, on the body, on marriage, the imbalance is impossible to miss.

I am not suggesting the Church holds a grudge, or that its silence on one side was bought. I am saying that is the appearance, and appearances are what most Americans, Catholic and not, actually see. When the institution that spent a year without its largest funding stream then directs its public voice at one party near an election—the very party that delivered more concrete protections for Christian life and religious liberty than perhaps any administration in living memory—the appearance is not of a shepherd. It is of a stakeholder.

That is the embarrassment I cannot unsee.

Judith Curry of GA Tech is making her own stand against the Climate™️ Cartel.

Judith Curry (also known as Judy Curry), a climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. https://t.co/dGtceWm8sa

She resigned her tenured faculty position effective January 1, 2017 (technically a retirement for pension purposes; she requested Emeritus status and is now Professor Emerita). She announced it on her blog Climate Etc. in a post titled “JC in transition.” https://t.co/Bi6RZJ0xVo

Stated reasons
• Growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science, and scientists.
• She wrote that a deciding factor was that she “no longer know[s] what to say to students and postdocs regarding how to navigate the CRAZINESS in the field of climate science.” Research, funding, publications, hiring, committee appointments, and recognition were rewarded mainly if aligned with directions approved by a “politicized academic establishment.” This created a tension between scientific integrity and career survival for young researchers. https://t.co/dGtceWm8sa
• Broader concerns about the politicization of the field, pressures to conform, and the difficulty of open debate on uncertainties.

Curry had long been a prominent critic of aspects of the dominant consensus on catastrophic anthropogenic global warming, emphasizing uncertainties, natural variability, model limitations, and the risks of overconfident policy based on incomplete science. This made her a target of criticism from some colleagues and activists. She had published extensively (around 186 journal articles and two books by then) and previously chaired the department. https://t.co/dGtceWm8sa

She shifted focus to the private sector, co-founding/expanding Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN) with Peter Webster. The company applies weather and climate data, forecasts, and scenarios to real-world decision-making and risk management (e.g., for agriculture, energy). She viewed the private sector as potentially more “honest” for work in a politicized field when one is one’s own boss. She continued blogging, writing, and professional work outside academia. https://t.co/ca6nvjqw21

Coverage at the time (e.g., Reason, E&E News, others) highlighted her resignation as tied to the politicized environment in climate science. She has continued to comment on climate uncertainty, risk, and policy in subsequent years (including a 2024 note that leaving involved a substantial pay cut relative to her university salary).

We now see the full extent of preplanning and empire-building that went into the United Nations' global warming campaign.

It was all behind the scenes. Today, the UN has a workforce of roughly 190,000 and an annual budget of $3.45 billion. It has become a vast self-managing, self perpetuating bureaucracy - arguably the largest non-governmental network in the world. The UN had been laying the groundwork for an environmental crisis for decades before it was finally announced in 1988.

The UN took control of the World Meteorological Organization in 1951, transforming it into a specialised UN agency. The WMO operates with an annual budget of approximately $138.7 million and has a staff of 350 to 400.

The WMO bridges the gap between raw meteorological data, international political agendas and global news media - linking thousands of land stations, ocean buoys, aircraft and satellites. While its stated role is to share critical weather and water data, this massive infrastructure has been effectively co-opted into a public relations framework.

Consequently, the world has been bombarded with weather hysteria for almost 40 years. Mainstream news outlets routinely prioritise speculative, worst-case climate models over empirical observations - like 'rain bombs' - maintaining a permanent state of crisis designed to shape public compliance.

The information gathering agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, runs the scientific arm. It operates with a core secretariat of just 15 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $12.5 million. The IPCC was established 38 years ago, ostensibly as a neutral body to gather objective scientific information on climate.

In reality, the IPCC became the driving force behind the greatest environmental and social upheaval in modern history. Highly politicised from its inception, it was founded entirely by UN agencies - the WMO and the UN Environment Programme. This gave the UN absolute control over the global climate agenda and funded what has become the largest propaganda campaign in history.

The UN has also run annual fund raising COP summits around the world for 30 years. They have become junkets for the rich and privileged.

The IPCC did not recruit independent scientific staff; instead, its administrative apparatus actively sponsors and selects studies that supported the carbon dioxide hypothesis. Research raising questions or doubts are minimised or discarded. Critics find their studies starved of funding and publishers, while some even faced threats to their academic tenures.

Local weather outlets and national agencies now operate inside an ecosystem heavily influenced by these overarching, high-alarm targets, broadcasting continuous warnings of 'global boiling', catastrophic sea-level rise, and 'Code Red for Humanity' - with UN leadership acting as the chief amplifier. This environment birthed foundational, highly charged studies designed to lock in future warming projections.

For decades, the UN promoted only extreme scenarios. A prime example is the IPCC's reliance on high-end warming trajectories - such as projections warning of up to a 5.5-degree temperature rise - predictions so extreme that even mainstream scientists have increasingly conceded they are implausible.

Armed with a crisis of its own making, the UN called for the rapid dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - the very energy sources that lifted humanity out of stagnation and powered the Industrial Revolution. Almost every aspect of modern civilisation, from transport networks to industrial manufacturing, relies entirely on these dense, inexpensive and reliable energy sources.

Climate management bears no relation to the UN’s foundational charter of resolving international conflict; it's a textbook case of bureaucratic mission creep.

The sheer complexity of this UN machinery, combined with an aura of technical authority, is precisely what insulates it from public scrutiny.

The amount of money the Progressives have is just enormous.

Here’s Eric Holder talking about multiple wargames and tabletop exercises at his BigLaw firm (I never heard back from some commenter who piped up to say there are conservative BigLaw firms. Yes, they’re featured in a movie called “Searching for the Unicorn).

The exercises are so realistic he says, that they have network anchors break into the game with breaking news for the game participants to react to.

None of this comes cheap.

If you've not yet visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. nor read "IBM and the Holocaust," you may not appreciate the difference between THAT ONE and all the others. THAT ONE was the first, and still the only one documented benefiting from corporate organization and industrialization. The product of superior information systems and technological efficiencies. That, the sheer scope of the mass murder and human spiritual infection are the differences.

Perhaps AI, robotics and gene selecting bioweapons will improve specific lethality in the future.

Absent US reliability, Israel will find other partners for its technological development, defense and human intelligence prowess. India is a prime prospect (common enemies).

We'll lose a lot more for trading High IQ partners for those whose cultures produce very little of anything new. I'm not worried for Israel's abilities to sustain itself. I am concerned for much of "The West," which includes the USA and Canada.

"The Jews," a tiny population who are apparently deserving of your perennial disdain (neither new nor rare nor enlightened), have learned to survive for more than 3000 years. Surviving through seasons and eras of mass human and societal turmoil and disasters, many of their descendants will survive this one too. "Natural selection" from survival in rough neighborhoods has thus far proven to be a stronger force than pure, emotional resentment and hatred.

The agents of Chaos™️ currently ravaging Western Europe are already well organized on the ground here.
Comprising ~2% of our population, it's not mobs of Jews that are threatening our stability and growth. It's not mobs of Jews bringing violence to our streets and campuses. Once you believe you are fully informed, try looking elsewhere. And buy more ammo.

[Uri Kurlianchik @VerminusM]

Eric Hoffer wrote this article about Israel almost 60 years go. It reads like it was written yesterday.

"The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.
Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.
No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him.
The Swedes, who are ready to break of diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."
