As I try to pack up here and take in these many years of wars, lies, and other means of "death by a thousand cuts" of our world, I find on Twitter/X at the account of Renaud Camus a piece that chronicles the past several decades of Islamization with degrading precision.

Translated from French by Google:

"No problem," by Georges de la Fully [November 12, 2018]:

“When they spoke loudly at the cinema, at the concert, and in the restaurant, it didn’t matter.

When they passed you, even though you had been waiting in line for a while, it was no big deal.

When they put their feet on the subway seats, it didn't matter.

When they smoked on the train, it wasn't a big deal.

When they traveled without paying, it was no big deal.

When they...

Dear Friends,

I want you all to know that December 31 will be the last day that this website, dianawest.net, will be online. My host no longer wishes to run the site, and it turns out that the site's very structure is obsolete, making a simple export of the content to a new host not simple at all -- in fact, not in the realm of doable.

I have mixed feelings about this -- and, I will add, that's progress. Initially, as this crossroads loomed, the thought of all of these years of work -- this record (2007- 2023) -- going dark and disappearing from view in a keystroke or two was rather devastating. Was I dying, too? To be sure, my "presence" online will no longer have this homebase and its files and attic to riffle through, but, on reflection, I find there is something to be said for setting aside the burden and wiggling free. After all, writers of yore, that period which stops with the Internet, never had to carry around with them and display every bit and scrap they ever wrote. Desk drawers, old trunks, mom's attic and, of course, trash baskets were the repositories of choice.

What follows is an entry from 2016 which I think captures the essence of a special streak of perversion (one of so many) inflicted by the US government on our people, in this case the US military. It entailed the forced subordination of Americans to the cult of Islam, a mission which parrallels our government-forced subordination to Marxism (aka liberalism, progressivism, woke-ism, etc.). Perhaps it is the case that this breaking of the US military was the main mission of the US government/military in Afghanistan.

Some years ago, when it still seemed possible to mount a defense if only we could just unmask the enemy, a retired senior intelligence officer passed along an essay about Henry Kissinger by "one Charles Viar," whom the retired officer described as a friend of the late James Jesus Angleton. It is called "The Curious Case of Henry Alfred Kissinger." I don't know the author; I don't know if his essay was ever published. My friend, however, thought it was worth reading. And so it is, if only for Viar's  claim:

After his enforced departure from the Agency in 1973, Angleton publicly stated with qualified precision that Kissinger was “objectively, a Soviet agent.” But for a man who had once trained at Harvard Law School, objective and witting were entirely different things. He remained agnostic until his death in 1987.

I think I just heard an echoing gun from the battle,...

This is fascism telling Tommy Robinson that his presence in London will cause "alarm and distress" -- "reason enough," he writes, "for them to arrest me and remove me from the area and prevent me from reporting on the antisemitism march."

"Shards of convergence" start here, but they keep coming.

Andy Ngo has fished up a threefer: the convergence of BLM, DSA & Hamas in the person of one Christopher Edward Winston of St Louis, MO. Winston is also a self-described communist and anti-"settler." The latter could well become the next big cause in the not-too-distant future. Or maybe it already is.

Next up: trans ideology + critical race theory + an overlay of ant-capitalism converge in the manifesto of Audrey Hale, the Convenant School child-killer, several pages of which were published this week by Steven Crowder. Also stupidity and sadism -- which are also essential to Revolution. Analysis here...

Jonathan Pollard is the former American spy for Israel who passed intelligence to Israel which he still maintains was Israel's by agreement with the United States, even as it was being withheld from Israel by the United States. That was a long time ago. In 1987, Pollard was sentenced to life in prison. He served 35 years before being released in 2015. He now lives in Israel and in May discussed his life in an interview here.



Recently, in this video clip, Pollard addressed the appalling, unexplained, and even unquestioned failure of the Israeli military to react to the Hamas massacre of October 7, even as, according to...

On the left (naturally), we have the domestic terrorist Judith Clark, best known as a driver in the 1982 Brinks Robbery in Nyack, NY, during which two policemen and a security guard were killed by terrorists in the Black Liberation Army and May 19th Communist Organization (formerly with the Weather Underground). Clark, shock-paroled in 2019, is now all in with the Soros-funded pro-Hamas mob ("from the rive to the sea"), which shut down Grand Central Station in NYC this week. 



Next, we see a new "progressive" flag  waving -- LBGTQ + Palestine. (As if any LBGTQ could survive in an Islamic society under sharia ...oh, never mind!)

Today is the 40th anniversary of the Beirut Barracks Bombing, a direct attack by Iranian proxies on United States forces. Not only did the United States fail to defend its forces, it failed to retaliate against the attackers. It is no exaggeration to suggest that this failure enabled decades of Islamic terrorism which today serve as a trigger for wider war in the Middle East. 

To mark this somber day, I am posting an extremely informative inside account of these events published in 2008. It is by the deputy chief of naval operations at the time, the late, great James A. "Ace" Lyons, who would rise to become admiral and commander of the Pacific Fleet. Given the recent news -- buried, sandbagged and muffled -- of Iranian influence at high levels inside the Biden regime, we can see the direction in which this and subsequent failures to act led our nation.

As I told REELTalk host Audrey Russo, the only good thing about bad news is getting to talk about it with her in our monthly interview. Which is here, and it's all about what is happening in Israel and the wider world.

The Kibbutzim/Concert Massacres of October 7 are not an October Surprise but an October Shock Wave -- a continuous stream of shock waves that have reset the world. Suddenly -- but before the body parts of 1,350 innocents slaughtered in Israel by Hamas terrorists could be gathered by ZAKA -- our streets and campuses and internet platforms were flooded with rivers of Jew Hatred masquerading as a historical debate over the very existence of the modern state of Israel, now 75 years old. Suddenly, the 1973 Yom Kippur War was back. Suddenly, the Palestinian "nation," which never was, was back, too. So was "devilry" of "Zionism" -- not that it ever went away. Suddenly, no other disaster, no other crime has the same weight, the same right to exist, if you will, anymore. Bravo, controllers behind the curtain. It is as if the people of the world have been reimagined as pulsating ganglia, emitting cries of "Stand with Israel" or "Israelis Are War Criminals"; "Kill Hamas" or "I'll Never Support Israel Again." We are all of us nearly completely fried from having Hamas's video trophies of murder and blood burned into our brains, and are thus unable to see what is really happening. As usual, you might say, only worse.

Finally, something normal, something that makes sense, to come out of Israel in the wake of the still- unexplained destruction of 1200 innocent Israeli men, women and children by an incursion of what is, to date, believed to have been an army of 2,000 Hamas terrorists last weekend. In the tweet above, we see enraged Israeli citizens, betrayed Israeli citizens, protesting what was done to them, and not only by Hamas terrorists. The image was taken outside the Defense Ministry. In the injury to the outrage category, earlier in the morning, a truck carrying concrete barriers of fortification, presumably to guard against the protestors, had appeared outside the ministry before, it is reported, driving off without placing the barriers. 

Maybe the government realized that fortifying the Defense Ministry after...

Join me at my Patreon channel for an informal chat and continuing discussion about giving the ol' red thread a tug. What I mean by that is -- in the spirit of my 2019 book on the ideological drivers of the anti-Trump conspiracy The Red Thread -- pulling together all of the criminals and thugs at the top of our government and related institutions who rose on or with communist connections or even cycled through communism -- or even Moscow/Beijing -- in their formative years.

That's a one-thousand-word-picture, all right, but somehow I can't sputter out a single one.

Another DC jury handed down another J6 conviction today, this one to documentary-maker, Stephen Horn, who, as Revolver News put it,"has now been branded a `rioter' by the very system he was exposing."  

As a part of that very system, CBS's Scott MacFarlane isn't one to try to disguise his satisfaction. Then again, so deeply embedded in the Swamp is MacFarlane that perhaps he is unable to operate, report, or even think outside of his obvious identification with the Swamp. 

That's how it struck me on watching his two-minute wrap-up of the Horne verdict -- which stands as an astonishing example of I know not quite what. Certainly, it is the Soliloquy of the Regime Mouthpiece; a media man so smug, so predictable, and, above all, so oblivious to his own mental limitations...

It's not only that a reporter wrote this; an editor read it; a media company published it. They are all guilty of collaboration with a vicious regime that conducts show trials on a par with North Korea, the USSR, Communist China. They are also incredibly stupid or brainwashed (or both).

This is a British newspaper, given to headline garish celebrity smash-ups and other disasters.

I can't find a single US newspaper, from NY to Washington to Texas, that saw fit to inform its readers of this latest development in the Biden-led invasion of our country by armies of aliens.    

Michael Yon is back in Panama at the Darien Gap, covering the invasion of the United States of America by the thousands of illegal, and many young male aliens, which the US government -- or what passes for it after the coup of 2020 -- processes and buses north to Yourtown, USA.

Updates here on Yon's Twitter account. 

Honestly, it's hard to know where to look, with impending doom at all the angles.

Certainly, I was an easy mark -- meaning I trusted the US government to tell the truth about what happened on 9/11. No more. As you will see, Bill Cooper (video above), whom I first heard of today for the first time, was way ahead of the curve in June of 2001, seeing what we all should have seen in the government-media manipulation of the Osama bin Laden story even before September 11, 2001. (More on Cooper here.) The tell for Cooper? That a CNN reporter could "find" Osama bin Laden in his lair when the CIA, NSA and FBI could not -- as we were told. The master terrorist was on ice, it turns out, for a project we mark today in a miasma of propaganda, confusion and darkness. 

Cooper's take on bin Laden, circa 2001, reminded me of Alan Parrot's story in 2020. Circa 2010,...

WANTED: An appellate court to overturn the J6 convictions on the grounds of judicial bias, as it did with the convictions of the Chicago 7

--

Now at Conservative HQ:

Half a century ago, a federal appeals court overturned the convictions related to incitement of rioting at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Here's how the Associated Press reported the 1972 decision. 

CHICAGO -- Declaring that the trial judge took an "often antagonistic view of the defense," a federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of five antiwar activists in the case of the Chicago 7. 

Stop right there. Is there any J6 trial judge who doesn't take "often antagonistic view of the defense"? Look at them -- Chutkan, Mehta, Howell, for...

Judge Kelly has sentenced Joe Biggs SEVENTEEN YEARS

Judge Mehta has sentenced Connie Meggs to FIFTEEN MONTHS and lied from the bench while doing so.

There is an update on the number of Lahaina schoolchildren the Hawaii's Department of Education says have not re-enrolled in public education programs: As of yesterday, twenty-two days after the catastrophic fires that incinerated the historic city of Lahaina, that number had decreased by 268, from 2,025 to 1,757.

The Honolulu Star Advertiser reports:

As of Wednesday, 1,757 West Maui students — or 60% of the total enrollment — have not transferred to public schools elsewhere or may have enrolled in private schools, moved out of state or are unaccounted for, according to DOE. A total...

Above is a snap of Keith T. Hayashi, Superintendent of the Hawaii Department of Education, presenting a report on "Maui Wildfire Impacts" on August 24. The "impacts," of course, have been ghastly -- surreal . For starters, none of Lahaina's four public schools in West Maui are operational since the fires of August 8. However, it is in this same DOE report that we can see, in the dispassionate navy blue and white of a simple graphic (below), that over two thousand -- 2,025 -- previously enrolled Lahaina schoolchildren are missing from the public school system. That's a little over two-thirds of the 3,001 children heretofore served by Lahaina schools who "have not re-enrolled in another public school or opted for distance learning."

Celia Farber has posted several new videos out of Maui, this morning, along with a series of important questions that go to the root of the trouble with the narratives still burning out of control around the Lahaina fires. Missing children. Missing information about missing children. Missing questions, missing families, missing -- everything, especially verifiable evidence that supports a logical story. But much stonewalling, much fakery.

Meanwhile, this video by @GeoffCygnus  establishes that a federal/state/"special" No-Go-Zone is rising over ground zero in the city of Lahaina. There is no media access, no picture-taking, no drones allowed to fly overhead anymore, no stopping along the fence ...

We already know that Gov Green and Maui officials have made Lahaina off limits to the press.    

This FEMA letter (via Anthony Canassa) tells us that Maui County officials have also asked FEMA for  "pause" on posting "new imagery of damage/disaster/debris" from the fire -- no, actually, a "full stop on disaster imagery going forward."

Why? "Out of respect for those who perished." What a diamond-hard new rationale for state-controlled censorship. Out of respect for those who perished there will be a state-controlled cover-up of events leading to this horrific and also preventable carnage. Out of concern for those responsible is more like it.

On the day after the legal team of the President of United States was arrested in Georgia for the "crime" of representing their client, Donald Trump, who will himself be arrested today, the coverage of this unprecedented outrage against each of these worthies and us all appeared on the front pages of America's so-called newspapers of record as a blank or a yawn.

While Rudy Giuliani's "defiant" booking made the lower righthand corner of the Post front page -- the Bezos bulletin is located in Washington, after all -- the arrests rate no more than one of a dozen items in the NYT, in the center column of a headline round-up at the bottom of the page.

This is not reporting, but silencing. The idea that the arrest of the legal team of the President...

Actual reporter: Well, we're being turned away.

The junta's relentless persecution has made President Trump the emodiment of the America of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 

Sprayed clouds, New England summer, late afternoon. I must note the blue of the sky in my pictures (taken one hour apart) is wrong. It was that dirty haze, a milky blue with a damp gauze across it, that has mainly replaced the living, cobalt blue of fine weather -- fine weather itself having been all but lost this summer. Knock wood: no fires, no hurricanes, no flooding (still digging out elsewhere in the region), but I would say the climate engineers haven't forgotten us. It's been so hazy, cloudy or rainy, though, you often can't see their handiwork so well.

It's not weather warfare by fire or hurricane or flood or tornado -- but it's not natural, either.

As I try to make sense of the fragments of Internet evidence that litter the days leading up to her family deciding to post an official missing person alert on Karen Kingston on August 17 in Quintana Roo, Mexico, I want to reel in a couple of what I will see as distortions which threaten to take this extremely concerning story of Kingston's flight and, now, disappearance, to a strange place.

The first concerns the essence of the Kingston story as it was set in early headlines, coverage and commentary around a shocking video Kingston uploaded to her Gettr account on August 6 in which she announces she fled the country in fear of her life....

This missing persons alert for the biotech analyst and Big Pharma whistleblower Karen Kingston was posted on August 17 on the Facebook page of the Comisión de Búsqueda Quintana Roo -- the Search Commission  -- in Mexico. 

I learned of this on Maria Zee's Telegram account, which linked to the substack of Dr Margaret Aranda, whom I am not familiar with. She writes: "A statement from the family will follow shortly on Ron Kuchler’s Substack, Kuch Says. As I post this at 8:15 am on August 18, no statement has appeared.

The missing persons alert says that Kingston was last seen in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, on August 9.

Robert Malone is exercising his God-given, First Amendment protected speech again, bless his heart, with another Substack article, this one titled "Hate Ecosystem and Fifth Gen Warfare (Part IV)." 

Wow. I'm really sorry I missed Parts I, II & III.  Anyway, according to the subhead, this essay is meant to be "A case study of interactions between online hate and a fifth generation warfare campaign." As an aside to new readers, that's just Malone's playful way of generally describing journalism and commentary that he's, you know, a tad bit less-than-enthused about -- as it pertains, I should add, to his own public self. We certainly don't have to worry about this man’s Jeffersonian commitment to freedom of speech; it's only rarely -- hardly ever, even -- that he sues people...

Speaking to News Nation, Josh Martin, a chef and business owner on Maui, explains in harrowing detail what it was like to survive the Lahaina fire after he and his wife and five dogs they were looking after were blocked from evacuating by car by police roadblocks (said to be due to downed power lines) and had to enter the water. 

The conditions he describes in the surf off of Lahaina are so extreme they call out for expert analysis I cannot provide. Here, for the record, though, is his partly transcribed experience.

The fire was going into the ocean. The best way to explain it is a continuous bomb going off. ... There were boats on fire 50 yards out. So even in the ocean at points, we were still getting burned. The video you're showing right now [of people in rough water] ... doesn't have the flames actually coming into the water.

This is a screenshot from what is purported to be, and does indeed seem to be, a video of the incineration of Lahaina on Maui. Notice anything strange about it? That perfect ring of fire?

You can watch the video and other "Things That Make you Go Hmm About the Maui Fires," including boats in flames as they float in the water, here. 

Could we possibly be looking at a freak of nature? Doesn't seem too likely. To be sure, we are continually hammered with the manmade "global warming" narrative to explain all, from the drought on Maui to the winds that whipped the fire. But ask yourself: Could "global warming" make a fire burn in a perfect geometric shape? What other factors might be involved here and in many other weather cataclysms underway...
