Lead: Syrian Deaths Should Shock But Not Surprise
Photo credit: Reuters
The United States and European Union are acting surprised that the Syrian regime has allowed killing people in Syria. Even though the people who run Syria after the overthrow of Bashar Al-Assad are terrorists known to the State Department as such.
The State Department says that the U.S. "condemns the radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis, that murdered people in western Syria in recent days. The United States stands with Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities, including its Christian, Druze, Alawite, and Kurdish communities, and offers its condolences to the victims and their families. Syria’s interim authorities must hold the perpetrators of these massacres against Syria’s minority communities accountable."
Except Syria's "interim authorities" are the Al-Nusra faction called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is a branch of Al-Qaeda. So, after warring with Al-Queda for years, the U.S. is now asking them to stop being terrorists and surprised that they are?
The President of Syria says that he will launch an investigation into this matter.
The videos of civilians being killed is horrifying but should not be shocking. David Sacks put it this way: "What did removing Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad get us? Chaos, civil war, genocide. The rule for regime change operations in the Middle East is that they don’t flip a country from bad-to-good. They flip a country from bad-to-worse."
Canada's New Liberal Leader

Canada's new Prime Minister is Mark Carney of the Liberal Party. He won the job in a vote within the party against Chrystia Freeland, former Deputy Prime Minister to Justin Trudeau. He was not elected by the people of Canada in a general election.
The people of Canada are supposed to get a chance to vote for a new Prime Minister this fall if all goes according to plan but again. His most staunch competitor will be the Conservative Party's Pierre Poilievre. He also faces Maxime Bernier of the People's Party.
Carney is only the second Prime Minister to jump into the job without first holding a parliamentary seat. He bills himself as a political newcomer with a background with big banks but his opponents say that he is a "disconnected member of the globalist elite." Well, he has never explained why he was associated with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Carney has a lot of perplexing ideas, such as a commitment to net zero. He also holds British and Irish citizenship but says he is in the process of renouncing them in order to be the Prime Minister.

Negotiations with Iran

President Trump says that he would like to have diplomatic discussions with Iran. He claimed to have sent a letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader.
He said this to Fox Business: “I hope you’re going to negotiate because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran and I think they want to get that letter. The other alternative is we have to do something because you can’t let [Iran] have a nuclear weapon. I’ve written them a letter, saying I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily it’s going to be a terrible thing for them. You can’t let them have a nuclear weapon."
How does President Trump know that Iran is making a nuclear weapon? Iran has said MANY times that it is enriching uranium for nuclear power plants and has worked with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to prove that.
Tucker Carlson called out Fox News for its "wall to wall [coverage] with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous 'sponsor of terror.'" He said that this is "softening up the base for a war." But why is Iran the biggest threat, he asks? "Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute."
Clearly it is Isreal that leads the U.S. war drum against Iran. No studied person would come to any other conclusion. Carlson is taking the heat on this – as he often does – particularly by Zionist allies, which tells us how these positions are drawn.

What's Trending?

Senator Rick Scott is trending because he posted this video about Daylight Savings Time with an Israeli flag most prominently displayed in his office. It inflamed many people, as demonstrated by the comments.
Myles Garrett is trending because the football player has reportedly agreed to a four-year extension with the Cleveland Browns for $40 million per year with $123 million guaranteed.
JD Vance is trending for this post about being confronted while walking his three year-old daughter in a stroller. He claims he was "followed around" but refutes of this claim that the protestors merely encountered him. The footage shows that he does try to de-escalate and then eventually remove his child from the discussion.
AI Surveillance State

Over the weekend, a Palestinian man on a student visa had his green card revoked after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) arrested him at his home. Mahmoud Khalil was one of the lead organizers of the sit-in at Columbia University. His wife is an American citizen and she was threatened by ICE too, according to reports.
What did he do? Did he incite violence or simply support the same cause as Hamas, which is a two-state solution? So far, Redacted has not seen proof that he incited violence or broke laws. If he has, he should be prosecuted on those grounds, not for support of an idea.
Free speech organization FIRE says this about it: "Anyone facing arrest and detention must be afforded due process. Just as students and other demonstrators are obliged to abide by lawful rules of conduct, our government must abide by the First Amendment. The government must be clear and transparent about the basis for its actions to avoid chilling protected speech."
This comes on the heels of the Trump administration declaring that it will defund Columbia University and investigate "the school’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."
Axios reports that the State Department is launching "an AI-fueled 'Catch and Revoke' effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups."
"Support Hamas" is code for "critic of Israel." So the State Department will scan social media of foreign nationals and punish them if they don't like what they see, even if it involves protected speech?
Free speech organization FIRE says this about it: "AI tools are emerging technologies, not trusted experts on the limits of protected speech under the First Amendment. They cannot be relied on to parse the nuances of expression about complex and contested matters like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Using AI to scour student visa holders’ social media for “pro-Hamas” speech and report that speech to an administration that threatens to deport international students for protected expression will undoubtedly encourage self-censorship on our nation’s campuses. America’s national strength is our commitment to free expression — let’s keep it that way."
