Today the blog hit 54,000 views per post. It’s no longer possible for me to keep pumping money into this thing. This a truly metastatic phenomenon. However, being forced to stop is a blessing in disguise. I need to move on to other things. Metastatic growth For those of you who want a wildly popular…
Alone? I’m anything but. The right people are on my side
July 28, 2016
In 2014, an Iranian-American journalist named Ali Gharib lied to me in order to get an interview. His goal was to discredit me because I was debunking Palestinian propaganda. A clinical psychologist named Michael Shaw violated all the rules of his profession by insinuating that I hallucinate. Both Gharib and Shaw succeeded in destroying my…
This is why the world is a mess
October 17, 2015
I’m an optimist. My view is that in the long run, we’re destined for improvement as a species. The reason that the world is a mess is that far too many people are crippled by idées fixe. They know nothing, but they have strong opinions and act on them. These are the classic low-information citizens…
Why I admire the Emiratis
September 18, 2015
The plan to take back Yemen was brilliantly unorthodox. Instead of invading, the Coalition—Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Senegal, and Pakistan—would protect two pockets of resistance: Little Aden and Crater. In those cities, people held out against tens of thousands of besiegers: Houthis, soldiers loyal to former dictator…
Angry journalist is OUTRAGED! Outrageously so.
June 12, 2015
Peter Beaumont of the Guardian is one angry journalist! He’s also a scurrilous maligner and a bearer of false witness. We’ll get to that in a minute. But first, I must address something I’m being asked: No, I won’t “debunk” the Israeli Defense Forces’ conclusion on the case of Ismail Bakr, Mohammed, Bakr, Ahed Bakr,…
The IDF conclusion on the Bakr boys
June 11, 2015
Today the Israeli Defense Forces released the results of their investigation into the deaths of the four Bakr boys on the Gaza Beach, July 16, 2014. You can read the statement that spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner made on his Facebook page. Let me say right away that I’m not going to argue with the IDF….
My worst nightmare come true
March 31, 2015
For most of my life I had nightmares of being in an airliner crash. These dreams stopped about ten years ago, even though I’m still terrified of flying. Paris Match has published a description of a cellphone video taken by a passenger on Germanwings Flight 9525, which the copilot deliberately crashed in the mountains near…
Explaining mental illness to stupid old Jew-haters
December 14, 2014
A couple of days ago, a Ron Paul toady named Martin went after me on Twitter for having the temerity to disagree with him. He was incapable of answering any questions I asked, and at the end of his hours-long spewage, he blocked me so that I couldn’t respond to him. Well, today he unblocked…
The self-inflicted massacre at Shijaiyah
July 31, 2014
I decided to not wait until the Israel Defense Forces released an official statement about what happened in the Shijaiyah neighborhood of Gaza City on July 30, 2014. You’ll see for yourself that the self-inflicted massacre at Shijaiyah should never have occurred. Hamas is entirely to blame. Every news outlet on the planet is calling this…
