Israel’s Ship of Fools Led By Delusional Leadership: Caroline Glick Skewers Them….Barack Hussein Obama Too…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Whenever one thinks that Israel’s leaders have reached their apex for mendacious behavior, one can turn around and get smacked upside the head. But take a breath (otherwise your head will explode) and a pause, wondering which parallel universe you landed in – once again! Personally, after all this time in the trenches, don’t even ask why this blogger is still surprised. And the hits keep coming.

Which leads to last week’s “mendacity of the week”, brilliantly reported by someone who requires little introduction to most of the readers. But for those who are unfamiliar with Caroline Glick’s multi-faceted credentials, here is her incredible/unbelievable background – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Glick . She is as close to a “warrior princess” as one can define. See for yourselves.

But before we delve into the heart of the matter – regarding our PM’s latest mendacity, mentally filed under “what I see from here, you don’t see from there” – forgive this writer for pointing out some delicious ironies in Caroline’s latest wood chopping of Barack Hussein Obama.They are found in this week’s Jerusalem Post column, where she also relates PM Netanyahu’s (latest) doozy of an “offer”. Be still…a bleeding/aching heart.

Caroline Glick hails from the same stomping grounds as the POTUS – literally. Although somewhat younger, she graduated from Columbia University-aka Bir Zeit-on-the-Hudson – and she also graduated from Harvard University. No kidding. Not only that, but she was born in Chicago and raised in Hyde Park, the same chi chi ‘burb as the “illustrious” POTUS ! Now, bear in mind, the oh so “smart set” religiously harps on the academic bonafides of the (wayward) Commander-in-Chief. Not only can Glick run intellectual circles around him – and many of his advisers – but she served in the military, unlike someone who plays at being Commander-in-Chief ! Therefore, it is verily impossible for those who would like nothing more than to ignore/vanquish her, to do so. After all, she hails from their (incestuous) confines. Don’t know about the readers, but this is kismet – the mother of all smack downs…. the irony of all ironies. Magically delicious.

Back to the main crux of this discussion. Here’s a partial rendering of her reportage at the Jerusalem Post – “this week it was reported that in an attempt to satisfy the Palestinians’ insatiable desire to celebrate terrorists, PM Netanyahu offered to release 124 Palestinian terrorist murderers from Israeli prisons in exchange for a meeting with PA Chairman & Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas”.  The whole sordid saga is presented here – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=277318. Whatever his “what I see from here, you don’t see from there” reasoning entails, this much is clear – a proud, rational, normal leadership does not lead a nation under these delusional constructs. Period.

This blogger’s op-eds and commentaries often delve into the meat of a volatile issue, pointing out its irrational and highly dangerous crap shoot.They demonstrate how our leaders gamble with our very lives, as well as our nation’s existence. How dare they !

Sach ha’kol – at the end of it all – if this Zionist has her druthers, Caroline Glick will be stationed at the helm. Hardly a feminist, yet a practical, realistic, no-nonsense kind of gal. As such, many would rest easier, at least knowing that steady hands are steering/guiding our ship of state.

Our genocidal foes ( including Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen) will always aim to kill us. We can count on it. However, what sense does it make for our leadership -albeit unintentionally – to whet their (unquenchable) appetites via more concessions/gestures/offers?

It is a matter of statesmanship. Simple as that. And a woman can dream.

The Red/Green Alliance,The Ties That Bind: Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin Compromise US National Security….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

As is said, where there is smoke there (usually) is fire. After all, smoke doesn’t appear out of thin air-magic-like….poof….now you see it, now you don’t. You think? Besides, most parents teach their young children not to play with matches, otherwise they will start a fire, possibly burning their house down! Nevertheless, the house fire I am reporting on is not yours or mine (I too own a home in the US, thus having a dog in this fight), but the collective edifice of the United States!

Make no mistake. The Muslim Brotherhood/Sisterhood is dead set on the above goal (destroying the ‘miserable house’ from within), and they operate in concert with radical leftists throughout the US administration, via their surrogates nation-wide and worldwide.They have patiently planted their seeds-of stealth jihad-for decades, and they taste/smell victory. They may very well succeed.

Not one to beat a dead horse ( I do have other interests!), but I have very sound reasons for spending an inordinate amount of time on the Brotherhood, as evidenced by my most recent commentaries. Re-reading them is crucial, especially in relation to today’s commentary . ‘Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Leader Calls For Jihad On Israel….’  – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/09/muslim-brotherhoods-supreme-leader-calls-for-jihad-on-israel-an-addendum-to-connecting-the-brotherhood-dots-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-52-2/ plus, ‘Connecting The Brotherhood Dots’ – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/08/connecting-the-brotherhood-dots-courtesy-of-the-us-commander-in-chief-his-islamic-outreach-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-34-2/ should be viewed as building blocks for my readership.

In any case, the Brotherhood makes no bones about their plans (total world domination) therefore, a deep understanding of their thinking/reasoning is efficacious – https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:OalRE3f9cecJ:palwatch.org/STORAGE/special%2520reports/Jihad_is_the_way_by_Mustafa_Mashhur.pdf+muslim+brotherhood+goals&hl=en&gl=il&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESg-gf40vGfo7DS8HI_jFwqxtnUi1xqNz2ayQigi_4Sqrx061CPEo0wVFUVzEqhiHRLMORNEFZdXHZDXgo5XZClFfhm1FR2w5xDdRzPb66IP7GW8JQtyXiehl73aB6ZS2mCSxJXF&sig=AHIEtbQ_cYymysvzc88rBBKj6khAVBX_0w .

Back to the radical left. Some of my readers may recall the much reported buss-kissing between Hillary and Suha Arafat, ‘wife’ of the Mafia-like godfather of modern terrorism, ‘Chairman Arafat’, also a Brother (in fact, an Egyptian Brother, having been born in Egypt ! ). While many were repulsed by this odious display (it was akin to kissy-face with Hitler’s significant other) of affection, those in the know weren’t shocked. Not at all. After all, both women (let’s not call them ladies) heart the same overarching vision; a future whereby America will no longer be the world’s superpower. At the same time, a castration of Israel to indefensible borders is required, in order for the Arabs to (eventually) get rid of the Jews in the Middle East.This is the superceding goal of radical leftists and their Islamic counterparts. No ifs, ands or buts.

As such, one of my previous commentaries comes full circle with a recently released report by one of the Middle East’s most solid sources – Walid Shoebat . Whereas, my commentary ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/06/25/six-degrees-of-separation-48-2/ , ties Hillary & Huma Abedin into very close knots, the following report is more circumspect in certain delicate matters, but no less alarming in the urgency of its message – ‘Muslim Congressman targets Michele Bachmann for raising questions about Huma and Hillary’ –http://www.shoebat.com/2012/07/13/muslim-congressman-targets-michele-bachmann-for-raising-questions-about-huma-and-hillary/. Nothing to see here….moving right along….according to those who really do know how deep the infiltration goes. Readers, I do not mean to appear crude by exposing (in my above commentary) the heat between Hillary and Huma. It is what it is. Besides, I wasn’t their matchmaker !

The fact of the matter is that US national security has been deeply penetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood/Sisterhood (amply demonstrated by Barack Hussein Obama’s invite to the newly elected Egyptian President, a Muslim Brotherhood devotee – read here – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=277318) via ways that have been kept under wraps-until now. Now, as is also said, the crap is hitting the fan, and much credit is due to those in Washington who still care whether or not the US survives, not as a shell of itself, but as a beacon of liberty, freedom and hope, thus leading the way for western civilization.

I referred to the (irrefutable) morphing of the Red/Green alliance in my About tab. If you haven’t read it, please do –    https://adinakutnicki.com/about/.

Let us pray it is not too late. Let us all do our part to keep them from realizing their dream, and our collective nightmare!

‘Islam & Blood’ (a groundbreaking policy paper contained within): The World Stands On The Precipice. Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

It is nigh impossible, indeed a herculean effort, to convince indoctrinated true believers to embrace a paradigm shift, even if their lives depend on it. Reversing course, despite irrefutable evidence to their long-cherished beliefs, is as horrific to them as dodging flying bullets. Maybe even more so. It rarely happens.

The “religion” of choice for a preponderance of western academics – including many in Israel, as well as their deluded diaspora Jewish brethren – rests upon the pillars of multiculturalism via inter-faith dialogue, its end point being “conflict resolution”. Their fealty to the “art” is so devoid of reality and the inherent facts on the ground, they ignore centuries old differences between cultures, that are not only diametrically opposed but simply unbridgeable.

Consider this doozy (http://frontpagemag.com/2012/raymond-ibrahim/sodomy-for-the-sake-of-islam/) , thus placing it under a new category for “conflict resolution” – naming it, “you can’t make this sh-t up” – further refuting the lunacy/idiocy that Islam and the west are compatible. Never and never.

Many academics just refuse to take NO for an answer, still hoping to drag other actors, steeped in centuries of religious/political doctrine (shunning/blasting everything to do with western values/advances, other than those that can be used to advance their jihad) to a satisfying resolution through jaw-jaw. For heavens sake, let it go!

Besides, how’s that working out for our western know-it-alls, even as the “Arab Spring” turns into an Arab nightmare of global proportions? Has anyone ever tried to reason with an out of control two year old in the midst of a meltdown? In a similar vein (but on steroids), attempting to convince Muslims/Islamists that jihad is a dead end goal, is akin to banging ones head against the wall, but with more than a headache in the process!

Readers, do not despair. A smattering of true scholars can be found in the west;  Professor Paul Eidelberg, Professor Louis Rene Beres – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Ren%C3%A9_Beres, alongside Dr Martin Sherman – www.strategic-israel.org/. But to familiarize yourselves with Professor Eidelberg, the scholar cited in this specific commentary, please click on the following background link, outstanding in its breath and scope – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Eidelberg.

Specifically, draw your attention to his most recent op-ed (out of countless others, including his many acclaimed scholarly books –http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Eidelberg/e/B001HPK7I2 and policy papers) ‘Using Conflict Resolution Tools in Arab-Israel Conflict’  at Israel National News. To call it a skewering of the “oh so smart set” is to be generous in the extreme. He rightfully coins them “acanemics” , read this –http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11897. On the other hand, this blogger is hardly as polite as Professor Eidelberg, therefore, their new term is wackademics; for their cockadoodle/cockamenie/ hackneyed/starry-eyed nonsense, posing as scholarship. Phew.

While the above is intrinsic to the conversation and to the reader’s knowledge base, the following link is GROUNDBREAKING .Yes, the caps are there for a reason. They are placed for much needed emphasis to highlight its efficacy. In brief, it is a recent policy paper by Professor Eidelberg; a paper which this American-Israeli had the privilege to review and add her thoughts to; duly honored and humbled to have been asked to participate in his myth shattering scholarship.

It is indeed a lengthy paper (about a half hour to digest), but make NO mistake – its contents are earth shaking; unbelievably thought provoking; cogently analyzed; and in particular, its historical analysis and theological basis are spot on. Having read many policy papers this praise is not offered lightly. Therefore, sit down… put your feet up… have a drink (not the inebriating kind)…. enjoy some sweets (you may need it to lighten the mood)… and start reading – https://adinakutnicki.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/islam_and_blood.pdf . Sharing its contents may well be your most important contribution to our common struggle. Really.

To wrap things up, the following is offered as “food for thought”: if this blogger could channel George Orwell at his resting place, she would likely find him nodding his head, thus admonishing the west, especially the acanemics, “you see, in your upside down worldview, those who really require conflict resolution are (centuries in-the-making) immutably opposed to it.

On the other hand, these immovable forces truly understand what constitutes a parallel universe, as they dialogue the west to death, with their goal being submission – yours, dummies!! Pray tell, is there any logical reason – you being so smart and all – or any incentive, for them to give up their most potent weapon – jihad via stealth, or through direct terror?

Mind you, I’ve been resting for a long while, but I haven’t lost my mind ! Didn’t I warn you decades ago; up will be down; down will be up; good will be evil; and jihad will keep on coming.”

School’s out.

A Global Conflagration Is Upon Us, Despite The Persistent Dreamers In Our Midst….Addendum To: The Mother Of All Wars Is Upon Us…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Is the (quasi-religious) belief in multiculturalism, aka interfaith dialogue, so sacrosanct that (otherwise rational) people are willing to lay down their lives for its tenets? Apparently so. Are their families/communities worth protecting? Apparently not.

One can fill a football stadium with the amount of ink spent on pushing its ethos. Here’s a dreamy, pie-in-the-sky, head-in-the-clouds (forgive me, but this may qualify as a butt-in-the-face rendition) site for your consideration, all the way from Athens, Georgia – http://www.interfaithathens.org/article/art10161.asp.

Not one to eschew the limelight, here are the meanderings of Chief Rabbi (Lord) Jonathan Sacks, all the way from England, via the House of Lords – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRRhU0efYtw.  Rabbi, this American-Israeli beseechs you (as a fellow tribeswoman), give it a rest ….the world is bleeding. Nevertheless, the obsessive quest to follow multi-culti/interfaith dialogue’s guiding principles; its abiding faith; as it leaps across oceans is evidenced through Australia’s denizens of multi-culti education – http://www.multiculturalaustralia.edu.au/library/media/Video/id/1324.Value-and-implications-of-interfaith-dialogue. And the list goes on, as its devoted believers march onward, pushing us closer to the cliff’s edge.

What to do? Honestly speaking, the above terrain is so fraught with landmines – verbal ones, which then lead to actual ones…. cause and effect…. ! – that most are terrified to traverse it. This is territory where the verbal (PC) bullets fly faster than the slinging of dung in a pig farm. However, the stench of manure can be washed off, but the Islamic onslaught – not so much. Most of the victims, of Islamic barbarism, end up blown to bits, with nothing even left to bury, as body parts are scattered to parts unknown! Is this so hard to internalize? One needn’t be a member of the “smart set” to extrapolate what the west must do, just in order to survive intact.

Thus, with the world literally poised on a knife’s edge, a tiny contribution (via this blog, and “other” efforts) is meant to shake/wake up fellow westerners before it is too late. This jaw dropping report is not for the weak kneed, but it is necessary – http://www.debka.com/article/22168/. While DEBKA’s intelligence analysts cannot pinpoint exact dates, nevertheless, their sources run deep; they are more right than wrong, and achieve access few others can hope to achieve. So, it is not a question of if, but when the world conflagration will commence, not as flash points here or there, but one of unseen proportions, at least in several decades.

Readers should internalize that this war will be like few others, at least since WW 2. The geo-political chess pieces are aligning, whether we like it or not. The above report dovetails neatly (wish it didn’t…) with a previous commentary ‘The Mother of All Wars Is Knocking At Our Door……’ https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/07/the-mother-of-all-wars-is-knocking-at-our-door-wishful-thinking-is-not-an-option-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-2/.

The question still needs to be raised – are the above reports enough to wake many from their self-induced stupors? Perhaps the two cited below will do the trick. Surely, many readers are familiar with the author of ‘A Time To Betray’ , Reza Khalili. As an undercover operative for the CIA, deeply embedded within the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, his contacts and his access are more reliable than garden variety pundits, mainly hailing from the “see no evil, hear no evil” multi-culti scribes. Hold onto your seats…… – http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/iran-leader-we-must-prep-for-end-of-times/. To add to the dangerous explosion, at least in relation to American friends, read this very carefully – http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/army-of-iran-sadists-poised-for-u-s-invasion/, and this one too – http://atimetobetray.com/blog/syria-takes-wmd-out-of-storage-us-situation-incredibly-dangerous/.

Am apologizing in advance, if the above appears to be too alarming for some to tolerate, but this is not a six alarm fire, it is a fire with exponentially greater blow back. Much more so than ones we have seen, at least in our lifetime. Hence, the blaring/raging alarm bells!

Batten down the hatches….. the geo-political forces are getting ready to square off. Whether it will be one HOT summer ( am not referring to the so called “global warming”), or put off until months later, this much is sure – the mother of all wars is coming, soon to be upon us.

The Middle East, as well as the west, will never be the same.

G-d speed to the IDF and all those who align with them!! Good vs evil.

Time To Take DIRECT Aim & Stop Pussyfooting Around:Investigative Journalist, Lee Kaplan, Takes No Prisoners…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Posted on by
11

Some of the readers are familiar with this blogger’s connection to Lee Kaplan. Those who aren’t, please go to adinakutnicki.com/about/. It is self explanatory.

Lee Kaplan’s most recent op-ed ‘Israel Must Define the Target – And Take Aim’ is a must read. Share it wide and far- http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11894.

But to understand the depth of Lee Kaplan’s intelligence credentials (thus, taking his heeding/pleadings very seriously), the first stepping stone relates to his founding of Stop The ISM and the connection herein. A little background is in order. The following is a primary link in the chain –http://israelseen.com/2010/10/24/lee-kaplan-infiltrated-the-international-solidarity-movement-and-in-israel-to-expose-the-fraud-in-rachel-corrie-case/. Read it in full, it is very brief, but wholly germane to the topic at hand.

Significantly, Lee Kaplan is, first and foremost, a hard nosed investigative reporter, a dying breed in the field of journalism, though middle aged. He takes no prisoners. He is a student of geo-politics, having been schooled at the University of California, Berkeley, a hotbed/bastion of leftist radicalism and indoctrination, yet he survived with his Conservative head intact-a feat of herculean proportions.

Most importantly-for the wider readership-he wears several hats, but most intrinsically for Israel is the one he dons to track/hunt/trail the ISM –http://www.stoptheism.com/. Chilling. It is through his work with Stop The ISM  that we crossed paths. Specifically, from 2003-2007, we worked on an investigative series (this American-Israeli followed the “money laundering”) for David Horowitz’s FrontPageMagazine, a site which many readers are familiar with. If not, please acquaint yourselves.

As a sampling of our investigation, provided is a link to one of our backbreaking efforts ‘Does the Pro-Terror Left Violate US Tax Laws?’ – http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=7148. The investigation was so hot that it was necessary to bypass a by-line, but allowed credits to appear at the end of the expose. The readers should know that Lee Kaplan gets threats on his life, as often as some people go out to sit down at a fancy dinner. Also received some unwarranted “admirers”, and was even advised to “back off”….were these guys delusional….did they know who they were dealing with….apparently not. Be that as it may, prudence was in order, and a by-line would have been pushing the envelope.

In concert, he is a senior intelligence analyst and communications director for the Northeast Intelligence Network, an organization important for the protection of the US, and the west in general – http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/. See Lee Kaplan’s bio under ‘About Us’  at the site.

To further add to his outstanding intelligence credentials, he heads ‘Defending America for Knowledge & Action’ (DAFKA) – http://www.dafka.org/.

It is one thing to read articles from those whose only claim to fame is their sheepskin from journalism school, as well as their associations with group-think fellow scribes. It is a horse of another color when one is not only a student of geo-politics, and a hard hitting investigative journalist, but also one who is “up close and personal” with his subjects. Reading the attached links will support the above assertions.

Lastly, but no less important, is Lee Kaplan’s ability to gain the attention of Israel’s Shin Bet security services. Simply put, many of their operatives are indebted to Lee Kaplan. If not for his keen intelligence work, not only would many more highly dangerous infiltrators – who directly aid and abet Islamic terrorists against Israel – be free to enter the Jewish homeland, to both consort with fellow operatives within Israel, and also within PA/Fatah/Gaza territory, but they would not have his much needed testimony, required in the Rachel Corrie court case. This is just a sampling of his “assistance”.

As forthrightly – some might say ominously – stated by Lee Kaplan in “Israel Must Define the Target – And Take Aim’ , “Israel’s head is spinning like a drunk who spent the night at the pub. The question is, will the drunk be able to  make his way home? To do so, what must he do?”.

Exactly…. b’diyuk…. enough….. maspik!

When Intellectual Honesty Smacks Up Against Leftist Delusions…..A Nation-Saving Prescription To Beat Them Back…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Posted on by

The (peace) science, as is said, is settled, at least according to Israel’s resident fantasists, foreign media poohbahs, and their international (mega) financial supporters (think:Peres Peace Center , for starters….). They continually opine, if only Israel did such and such, this or that, surrendered this piece or that piece, peace would be attainable. In a pig’s eye.

The insidious implication is that it is the fault of stubborn, right wing, nationalist Jews who keep peace at bay, never mind the trail of death and destruction, courtesy of the progenitor of the “peace” process-the Oslo Peace/Death Accords . These dreamers would have the world believe that “recalcitrant” nationalists are in denial, that they are the ones dreaming, some may even be hallucinating, perhaps sleepwalking, even as a verifiable body count is at hand. Sheesh…

The pile up of thousands of dead Jews, and many more who are maimed for life-ever since signing onto their bloody peace bandwagon-is not even enough to convince them of the errors of their ways. At the very least, a collective mea culpa is in order. You would think, wouldn’t you? Even more enraging, thousands of fellow Jews-dead and wounded-are callously termed, “sacrifices for peace” ! Good going, President Peres, thanks for coining such a catchy phrase. Jews/Zionists are eternally in your debt.

For further edification on their implacable delusional state, view this eyeopener – http://www.amazon.com/Oslo-Syndrome-Delusions-People-Under/dp/157525557X. Personally, having read it when it was hot off the presses, couldn’t put it down. Finally, a cogent historical and psychiatric explanation, regarding what heretofore seemed inexplicable. More than worth the read. Dr Kenneth Levin, the world owes you a debt for “settling the (delusional & historical) science”.

Despite the above, the dreamers would further have the world believe that thousands of missiles/rockets flying out of Gaza for well over a decade-but exponentially more so, since ex PM Sharon surrendered Gaza in August 2005, declaring it Judenrein, thereby handing the PA/Hamas terror junta the keys-is nary a factor, nor a blip, in the “peace” process. Per chance, who are we-the ones who inexplicably still need to be dragged to the “peace” table, albeit kicking and screaming-supposed to make peace with? An op-ed –‘The Bitter Fruits of Disengagement’ – written in memory of the sixth anniversary of the wholesale destruction of Gush Katif and parts of the northern Shomron, is a cogent reminder to all peace obsessed folks who still don’t get it – http://honenu.org/articles/the-bitter-fruits-of-disengagement/, mopping up tears as it was written.

However, if one truly wants to learn from the master, understanding to a tee, exactly how destructive the “peace” process has been, one and all, the inestimable, Dr Martin Sherman . Just as a foretaste, please see his impeccable credentials in strategic studies at the link below. But don’t rely only on my high praise, just read for yourselves the endorsements to Dr Sherman’s security concepts/strategy. To glean a valuable overview, please go to the head shots at his HOME page. Click them on, see who stands behind his strategic acumen – www.strategic-israel.org/. If there is any link worth perusing, regarding Israel’s national security situation, this is it.

And the links below provide more pearls of wisdom from Dr Sherman, specifically culled from his weekly column at The Jerusalem Post, ‘Into The Fray’ . Not exaggerating when suggesting the following-for Israel to survive intact the main address is his security policy center, The Israeli Institute For Strategic Studies . Again, it is not just this American-Israeli who thinks so, his illustrious endorsers (found at his site) feel the same.

For your reading pleasure (but there will be some pain too, in terms of heartburn),  recommending to start here – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=276448

then here – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=266797

to here – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=276448 .

here too –http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=277325

The above intellectual masterpieces (and scores more by Dr Sherman, found all over the web) make mincemeat out of the “never say die” peace brigades. These die-hards hail from the top of the heap ala President Peres-the penultimate fantasist in Israel’s midst-to the smug, self important blowhards – you know the kind – leftist media-types, posing as intellectual denizens over the rest of the unwashed masses.

Reading Dr Sherman’s columns is akin to walking into the light, finally taking off the (anti-historical) blinders.

Full disclosure: I work shoulder to shoulder with Dr Sherman, but make no mistake, he is the teacher (a professor’s professor), and I am the student, despite my many years fighting in the fray!

Ex PM Olmert May Soon Get His Just Desserts:Heaping Shame Upon Our Jewish Homeland.Unforgivable….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Posted on by

It is always a national disgrace-a tragedy too-when a top elected leader is about to be hauled off to jail, regardless of the reason. By the end of the day ex PM Olmert will know his fate, and he may very well end up behind bars. Whether or not he actually gets convicted is really neither here nor there. The fact that he is less than six degrees separated from activities befitting common (white collar) criminals is the issue. Read this link – http://www.israelnationalnews.com/.

I know, I know, my fellow Americans have their own crosses to bear, dealing with the likes of Congressional reps caught with their paws in the cookie jar. Topping off the US list (their hall of shame) was the forced resignation of President Nixon due to Watergate, followed years later by President Clinton, aka Slick Willie, as he doubled down-literally!-during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Perhaps his historical epitaph will be-“it depends on what is is”. I wonder how historians will parse Clinton’s voracious sexual appetites. Really now…..most men aren’t pigs, besides, the POTUS should have more self control. You think?

While Olmert’s demons deal with crooked wheeling and dealing, the fact of the matter is his actions are heaping shame and disgrace upon my beloved homeland, and my people. This, in and of itself, is an unforgivable crime. Every nation has its gallery of fools, crooks and knaves, but the Jewish nation is meant to be (for thousands of years, yes, Israel is a re-birthed nation….) a ‘light unto the nations’, reflecting the highest ethical standards.

NOW, it is intrinsic to recognize that no nation/people are perfect, therefore, to hold Jews to an impossible standard is to hold them to a double standard. This is unacceptable, as well as dangerous, because it often veers right into anti-semitic territory, intentional or otherwise. Therefore, PM Olmert’s actions should be viewed as a double crime; a crime in the legal sense and in the ethical moral domain, a sphere no less important, perhaps even more so.

It is no small irony that PM Olmert hails from the left of the left, the milieu where hypocrisy runs so rampant it falls off charts. Being part of the branja set (Israel’s smug, self entitled, self important, holier than thou limousine liberals, all too common in Hollywood, and the confines of the upper east and west sides of NYC) it shouldn’t be shocking (to the readers) to find out that his wife was actively involved with the infamous Women in Black , and their sons fled ! the country to avoid army service – http://www.zimbio.com/Aliza+Olmert/articles/2/Olmert+wife+daughter+demonstrate+against+Gaza. Typical leftist trash.

 Thus, Israel’s PM ultimately steered our ship of state, bereft of proud and ethical moorings, coupled with marriage to a woman who interfered with the operations of our national security. Women in Black & Machsom Watch have only one mission-stopping our forces from self defense, thus aiding our genocidal foes! Code Pink can learn a thing or two from our resident female traitors. To heap outrage atop scorn, Israel is a tiny nation, embattled on all sides The notion that our people had to contend with the likes of Aliza Olmert (as our ‘First Lady’), and her seditious crew, is reprehensible, as well as infuriating.

My readers should also know that PM Olmert crowed that wifey Aliza was his most trusted adviser. A national disgrace on all levels, regardless of the outcome of his trial. Sach ha’kol, at the end of it all, Olmert (and his family too) has to look himself in the mirror, and live with the fact that he lived a life of greed and national debasement.

Too bad the Olmert family had to drag our nation down with them. May his crimes haunt him forever.

UPDATE: PM Olmert’s verdict is in……a mixed bag, but no less indicting…..as he still ! justifies his thievery, incredulously proclaiming his full innocence…..blaming this one and that one, but not himself – http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=276902 . As expected, the right wing witch hunt begins…… the nationalist devils are too blame….. – http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=277125, and this rendition from DEBKAFile offers a probing indictment of Israel’s political/legal sewer (a topic I am very familiar with) – http://debka.com/article/22166/Olmert%E2%80%99s-acquittal-qualifies-him-to-lead-a-new-left-of-center-bloc.

Classic reprobate.

Washington Close To Subsuming the Constitutional Right To Bear Arms….Straight Into Thuggish UN Arms….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

To all those who scoff at the notion of a “New World Order” (even as George Bush Sr spoke about it on several occasions – heard the clips -joined in by George-the devil incarnate-Soros, as he blithely intoned  to viewers of Fox News, as well as at many other forums, that a re-ordering of the world was on the march), think again! Few believed either of them meant what they said. Huh and duh? However, those who  took them at their word were tarred and feathered as conspiracy theorists, way beyond rational thought processes, thus marginalized as kooks and cranks. Really.

It is under this paradigm that an internal antenna perked up to peak performance, while reading the following report at The Examiner. One suspects the readers will find it equally alarming – http://www.examiner.com/article/senate-set-to-approve-controversial-un-gun-treaty. Go here too – http://mail.aol.com/36542-211/aol-6/en-us/Suite.aspx.

There is some truth to the tried and true refrain, “ignorance is bliss” .This blogger’s head hurts!

It is both ironic and tragic that otherwise clear thinking people refuse to take leaders – elected or non-elected – at their word. Whereas they often float “trial balloons”, this is only one measuring yardstick they use to gauge, whether or not their ideas will bump up against major push back. After all, it is far easier to implement unpopular, mostly anti-democratic plans when few raise a fuss.Hence, Washington’s penchant to relegate controversial items to the Friday evening news dump – read this –http://www.newsmax.com/newswidget/Obama-seize-internet-emergency/2012/07/11/id/445083?promo_code=EE9E-1&utm_source=jPost&utm_medium=nmwidget&utm_campaign=widgetphase1. It is an open secret within the Beltway. How stupid do they think we are, even those living thousands of miles away?

Be that as it may, it is readily obvious that Barack Hussein Obama’s administration is in lockstep with the United Nations, despite being filled to the brim with third world tin-pot dictators, whose only claim to fame has been their serial abuses of human rights! Never mind that this is a gaggle of kleptocrats (many who should really spend their time behind prison bars, never to see the light of day), whose only barometer of what justice entails, is how high their coffers are filled, as they raid the taxes of the hard working citizens of the United States. Now, that’s a just cause they can all agree on, and rally around. No need to pussyfoot around. And if the reader still needs to be convinced, of the UN’s deviant proclivities, take a peek here –http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/07/09/iran-u-n-arms-control-post-no-joke-nuclear/.

So, it is to this den of thieves that many in Congress (egged on by the POTUS; via his strong-armed surrogates; with Dems in lock-step, but with some RINO’s – Republicans in name only – in tow) have decided to hand over the (eventual) fate of the US. In addition, they are gunning for total control, specifically, via a twin devil called the Salt Treaty-Strategic Arms Limitation Agreement – among other such UN grabs for power. They even feel entitled to control the world’s sea water rights ! Take a peek at this – http://www.westernjournalism.com/obama-to-give-un-control-of-our-water/ .Their appetite is voracious, uncompromising (dogs with bones) and relentless. They want what they want, all of it cloaked behind humanitarian gobblygook.They wouldn’t recognize a true humanitarian effort if it smacked them upside their collective heads.

Nevertheless, if Washington was not as compromised as it is – beholden to foreign interests – none of this would matter. It would be DOA.

Back to The Examiner…..the gutting of the second Amendment, the Constitutional right to bear arms (regardless of protestations to the contrary that this won’t happen, as if….), should be a line in the sand, a red line, for those who still cherish freedom and liberty. Think of it this way – who are the ones with power, citizens who have the right to bear arms, or a society where the guns are only in the hands of the government? The thinking goes, a stripped citizenry is a submissive citizenry, with all the attendant implications.

Does anyone recall the vile onslaught against Americans who believe in the second Amendment, as their sacred right, as they are pejoratively coined “bitter clingers”? What about the Department of Homeland Security’s continual alerts, assigning high priority to right wing nationalists (aka Tea Party crowd) as potential domestic terrorists, all the while Islamists run rampant. Haven’t they heard of Islamburg? Been  to its perimeter, and the gun popping noises were non-stop, but let’s not digress. Haven’t they read ‘Infiltration’ by Paul Sperry ? Apparently not.

You know what? If were still stilling living in the US, I would take a chance, placing my fate alongside the “bitter clingers”, aka the “lock and load” crowd, hands down. Not being able to go into too much detail here, but when the crap could have easily hit the fan, some “good ole boys” had my back, and they were not even armed at the time! However, it was during a dicey situation (while they were visiting Israel, hence, their firearms were left behind) that I saw/felt the strength of these guys, not only in the physical sense, but in their ability to walk tall and proud, even while in a foreign country!

It is due to their inner convictions; their moral compass; their ability to differentiate between right vs wrong; good actors against bad actors, that they are so feared by the likes of Washington’s scoundrels, as well as their international cohorts at the United Nations.

It is up to each of us to take a stance. It is time to choose sides. There is no way around it.

Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Leader Calls For Jihad On Israel…….An Addendum to Connecting The Brotherhood Dots….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Posted on by

Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi doesn’t hide his abiding roots to the Muslim Brotherhood, in fact, he relishes, embraces and heralds his fealty to its edicts. If anything, he is not a man who flip flops on his beliefs. You gotta give the jihad-loving, Allah-inspired man credit for sticking to his guns! No wishy washy, finger in the air, figuring out which way the wind is blowing guy. No sirree.

As a man who walks the (Islamic) walk, talks the (Islamic) talk, no one (with a straight face) can claim that they ‘misunderstand’ his worldview-of course, unless they want to !

For the uninitiated, I present Morsi’s basic outlook – ‘Allah is our objective. The prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope’.  Them’s are fighting words….There is nothing ambiguous about the Brotherhood’s main guiding principle. It is crystal clear. No wiggle room tolerated. To further illustrate their ‘hopes and dreams’, look no farther than their Charter in its entirety –  http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp. It should be required reading, considering that the President of the largest Arab nation-a core believer-will be feted at the White House, a place where western principles used to have meaning. As an aside, can anyone truly believe that Barack Hussein Obama will be able to moderate such a man, even if he wanted to (the preponderance of evidence does not support such dreamy thinking)?

To make matters more spine tingling, here is another expository reading of the (horrific) facts at hand, courtesy of reformed terrorist Walid Shoebat (you really have to hear this guy in person…..it was part of my investigative work with Lee Kaplan….incredible…..he had me at the edge of my seat……few can accomplish that feat of magic) – http://www.shoebat.com/2012/07/08/head-of-racist-muslim-brotherhood-group-presents-diversity-award-to-local-head-of-another-racist-muslim-brotherhood-front-group/.

So, in light of the above, despite Mubarak’s many shortcomings-enough to fill several books-he understood the urgency of keeping the Brotherhood at bay, as far away from the levers of power as possible. Let me ask the readers a question-who knows what the Brotherhood is capable of, other than those who live cheek to jowl with them? I thought so.

By extension, my previous commentary ‘Connecting the Brotherhood Dots…….’ is not only supportive of the above, but it takes on even more urgency. The very fact that the current US administration is in sync (by not keeping them at bay) with the Brotherhood’s entrance into the ‘democratic’  process, indicates that they have consciously entered into an alliance with the most anti-democratic forces in the world. A deal with the (Islamic) devil. This is indisputable.

In this regard, the highest officials in Jerusalem (while addled on some matters, on this one they are fully up to speed, regardless of anything they demur publicly….don’t believe their blatherings for a nanosecond) are shuddering, some might say, having nightmares, about the possible re-election of Barack Hussein Obama for a second term. (see further evidence substantiating the POTUS’s treachery, and why Jerusalem is suffering collective heartburn) – http://debka.com/article/22164/Israel-perturbed-by-Obama%E2%80%99s-outreach-to-Mursi—against-his-word. Consequently, a second term will give him unrestricted abilities to implement his ‘Islamic outreach’ program. OMG!!

To add to their angst in Jerusalem, here’s another heart stopping, bone chilling exhortation from the Supreme Leader of Egypt’s Brotherhood – http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157636. The (jihad) hits keep coming. G-d protect us. And, not to put a too fine point, on what the future portends with a Muslim Brotherhood leader holding the reins of power in Egypt, ladies and gents, hold onto your seats – http://www.meforum.org/3280/egypt-sex-slave-marriage.

To wrap matters up, if 1 + 1 (still) = 2, then the strategic outlook for Israel in particular, and the west in general, could not be more dire, without even factoring in the Iranian Hitler! Again, the prospect of another 4 years of an Islamist leaning/sympathizing POTUS at the helm-heaven forbid-we (in Israel), and lovers of liberty world over, will be in for some very dark times. Not according to the guiding ‘principles’ of the Muslim Brotherhood, but according to western principles of liberty and freedom.

Some may be loathe to admit this, but we are in a ‘clash of civilizations’. Darkness vs light.

Connecting the Brotherhood Dots, Courtesy of The US Commander-In-Chief & His Islamic ‘Outreach’….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

NOTHING happens in a vacuum, particularly within the arena of geo-politics.

Unless one has been hibernating in a cave, for at least the past few years, few are unfamiliar with Barack Hussein Obama’s Muslim outreach tour in June 2009. For a refresher course, here’s the link-http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/full-text-president-obama-speech-cairo-university-article-1.372558.

Furthermore, those who are equally attuned to his close friendships with notorious Islamic Jew-haters (more politely termed, anti-Zionists), his close bond with Rashid Khalidi (a relationship so hot to handle, that the LA Times is still keeping a tape of a farewell party, in honor of Khalidi’s move from U of Chicago to Columbia U, under lock and key), stands out above the rest.

Another unrepentant Jew-hater, Edward Said, the late, non-lamented Columbia U prof (aka Bir Zeit-on-the-Hudson), the very same prof who turned history upside its head, through a fabricated construct called ‘Orientalism’ (he told so many lies about his own personal history, as well as the history of the region….liar, liar pants on fire), was also his good buddy, as were several others, including the anti-white, Jew-baiting Black Panthers, and leaders from the equally vile Nation of Islam. A veritable laundry list of anti-American racists and anti-semites. Birds of a feather.

As such, one needn’t be a cynic to see a pattern emerging, thus concluding – Obama hearts Islamists/Muslims…six of one, half a dozen of another.

Now that that is off the table, let us turn our attention to the full and final penetration/Infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia, as the new Egyptian Brotherhood President prepares to strut his stuff at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as the head of the largest ! Arab nation-http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/full-text-president-obama-speech-cairo-university-article-1.372558.

To understand the full, and explosively dangerous, implications of the above, please, I beg of you, read Muslim Mafia & Infiltration – http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Sperry/e/B001HCW03K. My library is bursting with the most spine chilling, truth-telling books (making Barnes & Noble/Amazon rich in the process), yet these two set the bar. Just keep your lights on after reading them….I’m just saying.

On its face, it is no longer in question whether or not Washington allows this bad actor, or that bad actor, into their halls of power. That ship has sailed.

It is the bitterest of ironies that Obama, a serial liar (Obamacare is not a tax….) has kept one promise, the one he made (behind the backs of the American people) to the Brotherhood, as they hung onto his every word, from their front row seats in Cairo. To further give patriots heartburn, the POTUS has ensured that the progenitors of Al Qadea are fully honored guests at the White House…..a pox on his head.

The Islamic barbarians are not at the gates of Washington, they are inside it!!

Strange Bedfellows…..A Societal Cause Many From The Left & Right Can Rally Around…..Did I Just Say That?? Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

One could barely fill a thimble with the number of causes a leftist and rightist will agree upon. But that doesn’t mean that a worthy one should be ignored, just because the opposite side is embracing and championing it. Not at all. Morally right – no pun intended – is morally right. Period. 

To catch American (and other nationals) readers up to speed, here’s the deal-there is a growing, some might say gaping, chasm traversing the Israeli landscape. Its core revolves around the Tal Law (to be explained below), and the Knesset commissions set up to address this volatile issue.

In particular, the above law is designed to exempt the ultra-Orthodox (mainly Haredim) and Arab communities from army enlistment and national community service. The ultra-Orthodox are “up in arms” about pressures – via public heat applied upon the politicians – exerted on them to enlist (in either IDF or national community service),due to their insistence on learning full time in Torah-based studies, and that nothing should be allowed to interfere with that. Beg to differ.

Whereas Israel’s essence derives from its place as a “light unto the nations”, this is not a mandate for full time learning for many thousands of boys and girls post high school. Firstly, not all Torah learners are equal. Let’s face facts. Just as in any discipline there are those who will be exceptional scholars, others – not so much. Besides, a deep connection to G-d does not require full time learning! The Orthodox concept, “Torah v’madah” – Torah and work – is a much accepted and central Orthodox construct.

Specifically, those who want to learn will find the time, be it in the evening hours or on the weekends. (My son, and many of his friends are passionate Torah learners, yet they combine IDF reserve service, full time professional jobs, and weekend Torah learning, why can’t the Haredim?) More to the point, those who are exceptional Torah scholars – there are many tests/ways to pick them out-are the ones who should be exempted in order to dedicate themselves to full time Torah studies, for it will be their unique grasp of Torah studies which will guide future generations. As to the rest, they must either choose between army or communal service, and an agreeable formula can be reached. Either way, this group of healthy citizens will need to shoulder the national burden. They would serve their nation well if they finally ! got with the program.

Let’s also face (uncomfortable) facts – many want to (mis)use Torah studies – a very worthy and noble pursuit, in and of itself – as an easy cop out to not shoulder their national burden.

As to the Arabs, this is another kettle of fish, but equally important to address. Many, though hardly all, display utter contempt for the nation which has given them more freedom, wealth and opportunity than they can dream of, let alone ever find in the Arab nations they heart with. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Of course, their ever inciting Arab leadership – political and communal – whine about this or that disparity between Arabs and Jews, therefore, their people should be exempt from any national service. Poppycock.

Nevertheless, the Arab formula for national service must be more nuanced, even though many will rail against it. Too damn bad. Therefore, it behooves cooler heads to prevail, getting real in the process. Except for special cases – these exceptions can be discerned through various intelligence agencies – in no way, shape or form dare our leadership enlist Arabs en mass into our IDF! Fox in the hen house.

Let us learn from our American friends, as they are waking up to their own internal horror, due to the enlistment of over a hundred (who knows how many more will be identified) “Islamic soldiers” within the US Army. The Pentagon has become dangerously infected with the PC virus, therefore, none of this should come as a shock. Thus, the FBI is now busy tracking them down-http://www.npr.org/2012/06/25/155710570/fbi-checking-100-suspected-extremists-in-military, attempting to avert another mass killing akin to Fort Hood’s “servant of Allah”, Major Nidal Hasan. His was not an isolated case, far from it.

Thereby, in order to pretend that all communities are considered “equal” in Israeli society, does this delusional thinking warrant giving many – who abhor us to the extreme, identifying with our genocidal foes – the tools to kill us, but this time, from within? Are our leaders that insane? Let’s hope not. However, national/communal service definitely fits the bill for the Arab community. Why in the world shouldn’t Arabs, who enjoy all our social services, contribute their time? In fact, it may even open up their (biased) eyes, showing them that Jews are also poor, victimized and in need of many helping hands. Why shouldn’t they extend theirs? Indeed.

Back to the convergence of leftists and rightists rallying around a cause. There have been many demonstrations, from different sectors of the community, calling for the same thing-service for all. The leaders of this are mainly IDF recruits, feeling betrayed and taken advantage of, hence, “Camp Sucker”. To get a glimpse into their protest movement please see this very informative encapsulation-http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=276433&R=R2.

As a patriot, as a woman who understands that our people would be lost without our Torah, and as an equal opportunity sharer of our national burden, this movement is not only moral, but it is just. Besides, why should my sons, olim/immigrants too – as well as many others – protect the nation, while others sit idly by at their expense?

Not nice. Not nice at all. The repeal of the Tal Law can’t come soon enough!

The Mother Of All Wars Is Knocking At Our Door…Wishful Thinking Is Not An Option….Nor Prudent Strategic Policy! Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Living in the Middle East, a region rife with strife, is akin to living on the edge of a knife. Events change so rapidly, before one finishes internalizing one report, another development ensues, rendering the previous reading obsolete.

Therefore, one is forced to develop heightened senses, the same feeling one gets when the hair on the back of the neck stands up. A sixth sense of sorts. Most especially, when one is immersed with the nitty gritty of geo-politics (as I am), plus associates with those who are deeply attuned to affairs of the state, ones antenna operates at a maximum plane, aside from having the privilege of gleaning insights that others aren’t regularly privy to.

As such, I offer the reports below as more than ‘food for thought’, thereby, pay particular attention to the frequency with which the IDF Northern Commander held his most recent international press briefings. Moreover, Haaretz, a left wing, pro Arabist media outlet rarely gets their facts straight, as they spike the news about as often as The New York Times does, the heretofore ‘paper of record’. In speaking with several of my trusted contacts, many who interface regularly with IDF officials, there is little doubt that Haaretz got it right. Oh well, even a broken clock tells the correct time every so often.

With the above in mind, it is important for all those who care about Israel to pay rapt attention to the contents of these links-http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/east-side-story/israel-issues-stark-warning-to-hezbollah-amid-political-instability-in-syria-iran.premium-1.449158. In conjunction, DEBKAFile, more often than not, hits its mark, therefore, I seriously urge you to read both links, and share with others –http://debka.com/article/22162/Clinton-Syria-on-brink-of-catastrophe-as-rebels-advance-The-region-in-danger.

Israeli parents, at least those with sons and daughters in the IDF (regular or reserves), would do well to pay particular heed to its implications, even if they usually tend to avert their gaze. Who can blame them. After all, how much bad news can a person tolerate without becoming immune and numb in the process.

As one of those mothers-with two reservists of my own-I don’t dismiss the hairs standing up on the back of my neck, even if it would be easier to do so. No one knows precisely when the mega firefight will begin (I am not referring to the incessant lobbing of missiles/rockets, for over a decade ! , into our southern cities), but those who are paying extremely close attention understand that war is knocking at our door, soon to explode with a ferocity not seen in decades.

Know this. It will be do or die. Kill or be killed. Forewarned is forearmed.

G-d have mercy on my beleaguered-and beloved-homeland!

The Underbelly of Substance Abuse & Its Crossing of All (Societal) Red Lines…..Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Posted on by

Though preoccupied with geo-politics (particularly,involving Israel), as events swirl faster than the speed of lightning throughout the Middle East, I am equally concerned about the fate of the United States, the greatest experiment in individual liberty known to man. Though no nation can claim a perfect record, the foundations of the US are set upon stellar Judeo-Christian pillars, moorings which are in danger of collapsing, each and every day.

As such, this blog expends much angst over the fate of both beloved nations (my birth home, and the home of my Jewish heart); one a beacon of light in a hopelessly barbaric Middle East; the other, a nation which led the world for countless decades, now on the verge of receding into the background. Not a pretty picture. Heaven help us if their edifices shatter.

Nevertheless, there are other societal issues which cry out for our attention, especially in light of the immediate and direct wreckage they cause. Specifically, I am referring to the problem of alcohol and drug abuse; addictions/afflictions which cross all spheres of society. One may be rich, poor, young, old, smart, not so smart and from any religious/ethnic makeup (yes, the Iranian Hitler claims there aren’t any substance abusers in Iran!), in essence, it is an equal opportunity destroyer.

Due to the above,this site has dedicated countless of hours of research into this devastating scourge. Immigrating to Israel in 2008, I became duly aware of the effects of substance abuse upon Israeli society. A real eyeopener. Thus, it became incumbent to share said information with others, chiefly through op-eds on the subject.

‘Alcoholism:The Wreckage In Its Wake’ was a first attempt to reach out to the Jewish community (and others), hoping to wake up the addicts and the enablers in their midst- http://www.jewishpress.com/in-print/alcoholism-the-wreckage-in-its-wake/2011/12/18/ .Truth be told, a mission of herculean proportions.

A second attempt focused upon some enormously troubling events, events which transpired in Israel over the past few months. Waking up to the news of an increase in teenage murders – by other teenagers – jolted me into further research. As such, I contacted several highly connected medical professionals from NYC, people who knew how to put me in touch with the “highest authorities”, in the arena of substance abuse, in the NYC metro area. To put it more bluntly, I decided to call in some favors.

Upon relating certain concerns to several renowned substance abuse professionals, a most definite starting point to explore this troubling phenomena emerged. Specifically, the question became: what shaped seemingly normal teenagers to turn into stone cold killers? To begin with, I was advised – by each professional – to dig deeper into the synthesis between teenager murders and the causal relationship to being raised in homes where substance abuse is the “norm”. Good grief.

These contacts – G-d bless them for their assistance and patience – sent pdf files rife with supportive medical information. Therefore, I was able to put together a brief, but succinct op-ed built upon a definitive, emerging pattern. ‘Teenage Murders Shock Israelis, Many Seek Answers’ – http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11631 lays bear some very painful points, at least for those who are more inclined to sweep (shameful) family matters under the rug. See no evil, hear no evil.

It was under the above mindset that something so shocking, even after having explored the underbelly of the insidious disease of substance abuse, came to light. Compiling data for some additional research, I started exploring the mother of all addiction stories – literally. Many readers may recall the horrific drunk driving accident caused by Diane Schuler, a mother ! from Westchester, New York, in the summer of 2009. In brief, she killed 8 people, including herself, her baby daughter, 3 nieces, and 3 men in an oncoming car, while driving the wrong way on the Taconic Parkway (btw, a stretch of road this blogger traveled many times….). Her wreckage is laid bare for all to see in the link provided –http://www.thefix.com/content/%E2%80%9Cdrinking-mom%E2%80%9D-syndrome.

So, if the above horror is not unsettling enough, consider this new fad -mothers who join blogs (there are several) to find like-minded peers who relish their vodka to “deal” with their daily pressures of life! Kid you not. Take a peek at this blog, unabashedly called Vodka Mom–http://www.vodkamom.com/#.T_Qc1ZnL8Cw.facebook.

Being immersed in this subject, and fully understanding the many complex and intertwining layers (mental and physical) of addiction, this much is overwhelmingly clear – the multi-faceted, life long prices paid by spouses, children, siblings, relatives, friends, employers, and society at large, is too high to pay for another’s addictive behavior. NO one has the right to inflict such misery upon others, however unintentional. Simply put, excuses for their addiction just won’t cut it. Just ask those (if they are alive to tell the tale) who suffer due to their reckless behavior; whether living with them; interacting with them as relatives (slowly watching them kill themselves, a nightmare like few others); occasionally interfacing; or not even knowing the addict from a hole in the wall, as the addict’s car plows into anyone unlucky enough to be in their careening path, never knowing what hit them!

Suffice it to say, if it were up to this American-Israeli, each and every person – regardless of their station in life – who is caught driving drunk would never have the opportunity to get behind the wheel again. Ever.Tragically, too many maim and kill, before they are hauled into jail and into mandated rehab. Let them rot in jail. As to the rest – who have yet to kill or maim – they must also pay for the crime of drunk driving and take public transport, that is, only if they have not harmed anyone during their drunk driving sprees. At its most base, drunk driving is a criminal offense, and those accused – if parents -are not fit to raise cats or dogs, let alone their own children.

A societal tragedy….deeply ignored…hidden behind closed doors. Time to open our (collective) eyes. Therefore, but for the grace of G-d, go all the (potential) victims of the likes of Diane Schuler!

Leftist Treachery? Good. Nationalist Patriotism? Bad. Thus, ‘Justice’ In The Holy Land Is Both Predictable & Ideological…..Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Just as one can predict that the sun will invariably rise and set, so too can Jewish nationalists count on Israel’s leadership to continually harass them. Their actions are Pavlovian.

It matters not a whit whether a heretofore right wing leadership (Likud) holds the reins of power, or its evil leftist twin (Labor, Kadima, Meretz) holds sway, the results are one and the same. I offer more than ample proof of this thesis, in my thoroughly researched op-ed ‘The Paradox Of Israeli Politics:Vote Right, Get Left’ , you can read it here-http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/the_paradox_of_israeli_politics_vote_right_get_left.html.

As I often demonstrate (mainly through my op-eds), the perpetual harassment and incitement evinces many forms; it continues unencumbered; it is relentless, and it also requires many (creative) avenues to execute. Nevertheless, one tactic stands out above all others, primarily due to its pernicious effect. Administrative Detention, a useful tool when utilized against genocidal foes, becomes an anti-democratic and wholly persecuting tactic when used against ones loyal citizens! My deeply sourced op-ed ‘Administrative Detention Against Jewish Nationalists’ is irrefutable in its content and conclusions-http://www.freeman.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/475-ADMINISTRATIVE-DETENTION-ORDERS-AGAINS-JEWISH-NATIONALISTS.html#extended.

If the rendering from the above op-ed requires a companion piece, here is another one I wrote to add to the running indictment against our leadership, it is aptly titled ‘Hunting Down Rabbis Under The Guise Of Law & Order’ –http://honenu.org/articles/hunting-down-rabbis-under-the-guise-of-law-order/. I suspect my readers may be feeling nauseous after reading the above op-eds, and some might even be reeling. I apologize. But there is no better cure than a spotlight shined on said (ideologically driven political) ills.

Back to this week’s news-predictable, as always. I hereby further present two supportive/substantive reports, named Exhibit Number One & Exhibit Number Two. Exhibit Number One is the plea bargain arranged for Uri Blau, a reporter for the ultra leftist, pro Arabist Haaretz, a newspaper which many deem as reliable as Al Jazeera, often used as the ‘paper of record’ to indict Israel in the court of public opinion…… but I digress. In any case, the ‘punishment’ he received, less than a slap on the wrist, for crimes which western democracies treat as treason, makes a mockery of Israel’s system of justice, as well as the much ballyhooed concept of ‘rule of law’. Not only that, no one should be surprised if Uri Blau is nominated for the Israel Prize, a prize often given to those whose work undermines our Jewish homeland. See the report on his ‘sentence’-http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157533. You be the judge and jury.You decide.

Forgive me for pointing out Exhibit Number Two, thus further ruining your day, but this is the reality of Israel’s two tiered justice system. Note, I did not say three tiered. This is because Israel’s Arabs are treated as delicately as our resident leftists (in Israel we call it etrog-like), sometimes even more so. After all, PC mandates require a kid gloved approach, regardless of the treachery. Yesterday’s news, of the unabated harassment of Rabbi Meir Kahane’s, z”l (of blessed memory) family, tragically supports all of the above. As you will see, through the following report at Israel National News, the above topic of Administrative Detention (though not directly mentioned) is part and parcel of the torture inflicted upon Jewish nationalists. Read it, and it will all become clear-http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157558.

May G-d save us from our errant leadership!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words……And This Story Is The Stuff of Jewish Strength & Courage….Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Some stories are worth their weight in gold. This one rates several gold stars.

Firstly, being a contributing op-ed writer to The Jewish Press, I always check on their news and views, and this story resonates to my core. Secondly, I tune into Malkah Fleisher’s radio show, featured at Israel National News/Arutz7 (another site I contribute to) on a regular basis.

But most inherently, I am of like-mind with this Texas born and raised lioness of Zion (as opposed to where I hail from, the loony east/left coast in the heart of NYC). She is my Zionist sister, in the truest sense of the word. Due to the above, I hereby nominate her as the pin-up/poster woman that all Jewish girls-whatever their ages-should strive to emulate, regardless whether they are traditionally religious (like Malkah) or not.

Read this, http://www.jewishpress.com/news/on-the-anniversary-of-entebbe-malkah-is-home-on-the-range/2012/07/04/, then tell me if you think she makes her mark too!

You go, girl…….shoot off a few rounds in my name, next time you hit the range!

And, by the bye, my ‘blood brother’ and best friend in Israel, Tsafrir Ronen, z”l (of blessed memory…he is sorely missed….most especially during trying times ) was part of the force which stormed Entebbe, having operated under Yoni Netanyahu’s command as a Sayeret Matkal (General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) commando. Here’s my op-ed in his memory ‘Israel’s Hero, My Hero’–http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/8469. Therefore, Malkah’s article, in honor of the anniversary of Entebbe, strikes a very personal chord too.
