Peloni:  Immediately before watching the Carlson interview with Iran’s president, people should rewatch his interview with Sen. Ted Cruz, or watch the near decade old interview which Carlson had with John Bolton.  Hard questions were seemingly the entire point of Carlson’s interviews with Bolton and Cruz, with the latter interview being just a few weeks old.  Yet in the time since then, he seems to have lost his appetite for hard question in an interview which lacks any commentary or questioning over the Iranian govt’s many atrocities against Israelis, Iranians and particularly Americans.  Shame on Tucker Carlson…again.

Few people—even diligent media followers—are likely to speak knowledgably about the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). Yet, hidden in plain sight in a 20-story tower (with four more stories below ground level) in Basel, the BIS influences the leaders of the world’s top central banks and controls the global economy. Moreover, it cannot be questioned or held accountable for any of its actions. In his 2013 book Tower of Basel, Adam LeBor, a former reporter for The Economist and author of thoroughly researched works such as Hitler’s Secret Bankers, The Last Days of Budapest, and City of Oranges, analyzes the bank’s history to explain how it gained unlimited power.

Peloni:  Michael Snyder examines what can only be described as incompetence at the minimum, and suspected complicity at the worse, which will forever surround the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein case.  As the promise of “all will be revealed” wass meekly replaced with the proposed guarantee that there was nothing relevant to discuss, with the routine attempt to bury this change of concept regarding Epstein, his co-conspirators, the evidence of his guilt and his already divulged connection to the intelligence world, as this drastic change of narrative was made over the July 4 holiday.  Indeed, if the claim that celebrated notoriety of the Epstein case was just a fiction, a solemn and thorough disclosure of the facts needed to be produced to the public in such a way as to merit the value already assessed to the charges by both Trump administration officials such as AG Bondi, as well as by the American public in general.  Notably, Trump voiced some reluctance about declassifying the Epstein files about a year ago, but Bondi in particular provided a foreboding commentary regarding the importance of the Epstein revelations, already having turned the re-release of previously revealed documents into a media circus.  Promises made deserve to be kept, and when expectations fail to materialize, it heightens, rather than eliminates, the need to highlight the change of narrative, and more importantly, a full, rather than dismissive, explanation for why those changes took place.

Reports have surfaced in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere that a significant number of Hebron’s most prominent sheikhs have proposed to leave the blood soaked Fatah’s PLO/Palestinian Authority and join the Abraham Accords in Judaea and Samaria.

The latter were not renamed “West Bank” until Transjordan illegally snatched the lands west of the Jordan River after invading a nascent Israel in May 1948. Question: Was Yehoshua/Jesus born in Bethlehem of Judaea or Bethlehem of the “West Bank?” Check out the New Testament’s Gospels for an answer.

Hamas was created in 1987, and its raison d’etre’s charter calls for the total obliteration of the sole, minuscule, resurrected nation of the Jewish People, which emerged on about 14% of the original April 25, 1920 Mandate of Palestine after what is now Jordan was gifted with almost 80 % of the total area in 1922.

President Donald Trump says he did not know that the term “Shylock” has antisemitic connotations, when he used it in a recent comment about unscrupulous bankers. Then-Vice President Joe Biden said essentially the same thing when he called predatory bankers “Shylocks” back in 2014. Should we believe them? Does it matter?

Ugly slurs about Jews and money became widespread in the Middle Ages. Employment restrictions that were imposed on Jews in Europe forced some of them to become money lenders; antisemitic borrowers who failed to repay their loans then found Jews to be convenient scapegoats.

 1. Background: The Hebron-based Jaabari clan, central to the emirate initiative, remains one of the city’s most influential and numerous families. Security sources estimate the tribe maintains access to approximately 30,000 weapons, primarily assault rifles, held collectively among its members.

 2. The family has historically demonstrated a cooperative posture toward the Israeli government and the IDF. In 1967, tribal elder Mohammad al-Jaabari notably received the first Israeli military jeep to enter Hebron and subsequently hosted the Israeli Minister of Defense at his residence.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump met for dinner at the White House Monday evening amid efforts to secure a hostage-ceasefire deal in Gaza and attempts by Washington to resume talks with Iran following the Israeli and U.S. strikes on nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.

Peloni:  And while Dr. Moore is being persecuted, not a single pharmacist is being charged who withheld prescribed medical treatments such as, but not limited to, ivermectin from needy patients.  Not a single person has been charged in the attempt to manipulate research to indicate hydroxychloroquine was dangerous to patients suffering from Covid.  Not a single person is being charged following the documented effort to deceive the entire world of the obvious lab leak nature of Covid origin.

Senseless policies proscribing innocuous and efficacious medicine while weaponizing and perverting scientific research led to upside down policies where men such as Dr. Moore sit in the dock facing what would be tantamount to a life sentence, while men such as Collins and Fauci roam free, with their wealth intact and their freedom unhampered.  This should serve as a grotesque commentary on both the judicial and medical standards of America in the age of Covid.  Dr. Moore should go free, and instead of charging him with conspiracy and malfeasance, he should be placed in a position of authority where he would be able to abandon the the felonious policies which threaten him with a fate he does not deserve.  The courage and resolve of men such as Dr. Moore should be harnessed to lead the future, rather than being shackled for serving the oath of ‘Do No Harm’.

And the Script for Confrontation Is Already Being Written

Khaled Hassan, The Grand Strategy,  July 7,2025

Picture this. You’re the president of a nation on the brink. Decades of decay have hollowed out your country. The economy? A carcass picked clean. Healthcare and education? Crumbling faster than cheap plaster. For ten long years, you’ve peddled the same promise to your weary people: “Hold fast. Prosperity is just months away.” A gleaming future, you swore. A standard of living they could scarcely imagine.

Fast forward to 2025. The dream’s a nightmare.

The fact that the Sons of Iraq or the leaders of Jordan and Iraq emerged under US and British support, illustrate that these tribal structures often require outside support.

A recent article at The Jerusalem Post speaks about meeting with the top Hebron sheikh who wants to pull out of Palestinian Authority. The article claims that Sheikh Wadee’ al-Jaabari is the leader of Hebron’s most influential clan. Now “and four other leading Hebron sheikhs have signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.”

A letter has even been drafted. Jaabari has reached out to Israeli officials, the report says. Eight sheikhs are “believed to lead 204,000 local residents.”

Peloni:  In his opening segment Mark explores the political and cultural aspects of the recent violent protests against the American way of life.  He begins with an interview with Adam Sohn of the Network Contagion Research Institute about influence peddling in the US by foreign enemies. Sohn explains that 50% of all foreign money going to US universities over the past 40yrs, $58 billion in total, was donated in just the last 4yrs without any knowledge of how that money was spent by the universities. He explains that Qatar and China are by far the greatest sources of these donations. Notably, as Qatar funds Hamas, they have been funding US colleges, many of which have campuses in Qatar. Sohn also shares that there are a network of recognized terrorist organizations which have manipulated their way into being US non-profit organizations. Due to the rules and regulations guiding the universities being ignored, and the simultaneous infiltration of the US non-profit organizations, these terrorist groups are promoting their radical ideology among universities as well as grade schools.

Peloni: Indeed, what the Arabs states will endure to secure their own regimes in their own lands, they will not do to secure the Jewish people in Israel.  Arab interests revolve around their own national well being, not around that of Israel.  Failing to appreciate this point will only lead to bad outcomes, once again.

By turning a blind eye to the massive smuggling industry, Egypt significantly contributed to transforming the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip into a major base for Islamist terrorism, paving the way for the October 7 attack on Israel. Pictured: A large Hamas tunnel between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, beneath the Philadelphi Corridor, discovered by the Israeli military on August 4, 2024.

• There are also concerns that the tunnels could be used to smuggle terrorists into Gaza.

The Institute for the Study of War, a nonpartisan group based in the United States, has issued its report on Israel’s achievements in its 12-day war with Iran. Dozens of nuclear facilities were damaged by Israel, while three of them — Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow — were also attacked by the Americans, with the first two “destroyed,”and the last “severely damaged” (or, according to the administration, “totally obliterated”) on June 22. More on what the IDF accomplished in its brief war with Iran can be found here: “Israel ‘Achieved Its Objectives’ in Iran Operation, Says Leading War Studies Think Tank,” by Jack Elbaum, Algemeiner, June 26, 2025:
