Arson warrants capital punishment.

No other single act of malice has the potential to uproot the lives of dozens or even thousands. With one act, an arsonist can make families homeless, destroy communities, kill pets, and snuff out human lives. The devastation affects not only direct victims but also ecosystems and economies.

People who know me personally know I have been trumpeting this for years. Wildfire arson, in particular, is a crime I feel demands far greater attention and accountability. The data is clear: a significant number of wildfires are man-made. Yet arson is treated with penalties grossly disproportionate to the damage it inflicts.

In many ways, arson is the ultimate crime. It is an act of cowardice that often results in widespread destruction and death, all while the perpetrator watches from safety. Such an offense cannot be met mere incarceration. It demands a response as severe as the crime itself.

Capital punishment for arsonists.

Yes, I'm starting to learn that there's a quick way to figure out who's the bad guys in those countries. Just trace Alliance for Global Justice activity across Latin America countries. In Cuba; they're aligned with the regime. In Venezuela, they're aligned with Maduro. In Colombia, they're aligned with FARC revolutionaries.

Just sharing some data analysis as I make progress on writing the book. If you don't understand it, don't worry. This is for the hardcores.

And yet the Constitution allows the President to drone civilians, in your view.

An underrated aspect of the peace deal is that, if it succeeds, it removes much of the underlying justification for protest anger. Palestine was supposed to serve as the rallying point for color-revolution movements. Now, all these NGOs involved will need to find a new cause to mobilize around. They’ll probably double down on ICE.

And by extension -- mapping those out will likely map out the cartel network.

I'd be making much more progress on this if I weren't so behind on my book. Have to devote at least two weeks to catch up to the book.

Looks like this is their biggest donors, never heard of Every Org:

If it surprises you that we went to war in Iraq against Israel's recommendations, re-examination of priors might do some good.

Great questions!

The point of all these measurements and charts is mostly personal reference. The same “experts” often contradict themselves for different reasons. It’s useful to have an empirical snapshot of what the expert consensus looked like around the Arab Spring, before many of those same voices reinvented themselves as experts on why the Muslim world supposedly needs to change before it can accept democracy.

My thesis is simple. We went to Iraq because of stupid democracy-building theories.

We did not go to Iraq because Israel told us so.

That’s all. If you read “Israel shill” into that, that says more about you.

Strange how George Bush never mentions Israel supporting him in his book defending his own decision. Although he mentions plenty of other countries.

Almost everyone misunderstands how Israel thinks.

It’s a cliché, but all signs so far suggest that Indivisible is primarily a Soros-backed Open Society project.

CLOSING THE THREAD:

Twenty years ago, George Soros declared a mission to "open" the United States; AKA cleanse the USA of its attachment to traditions and faith. Since then, he's poured billions into formenting a color revolution -- the same playbook that got banned him from Hungary, Russia, and others.

The No Kings protest is just his latest front in his personal war.

Millions in Soros-aligned philanthropy have underwritten Indivisible’s rise from a viral Google Doc to a nationwide political engine.

Whatever the banner, the money and machinery behind the No Kings protest traces back to the same source: Open Society’s network of influence.
