What Next After Genocide-By-Proxy & The Murder Of Diplomacy? The Quest For Peace, Says Daniel McAdams
ILANA believes that America’s open, even-energetic support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a defining event in the annals of American foreign policy, and that this failure is qualitatively different from blunders that went before. In its role in Gaza, Uncle Sam has finally achieved an official or formal inversion of all decent, universal values. Former supporters of Israel, like ilana Mercer, David Vance and Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, are aghast. Can we claw back from the precipice? DAVID believes that US Foreign Policy in almost every respect is self-defeating although perhaps that is the aim. David makes it abundantly clear he supports Israel wiping Hamas off the face of the earth but he does NOT support the mass punishment of the people of Gaza. To ilana’s question, “Is Gaza much more than an American foreign-policy failure,” Mr. McAdams, who co-produces and co-hosts the “Ron Paul Liberty Report” with Dr. Paul, replies, however, with considered calm and wisdom. Mr. McAdams proceeds to shepherd viewers of the HARD TRUTH podcast through the ins-and-outs of US foreign policy and the crooked dynamics at play among lobbyists in Washington D.C. and beyond. To counter ilana’s gloomy Cassandra—and bolstered by a deep grasp of the American System as it is and as it should be—Daniel melds principle with policy in presenting a way forward: “A prosperous America is profoundly linked to a foreign policy rooted in peaceful relations and trade with all. With peace, comes real prosperity.” Daily, over decades, alongside Dr. Ron Paul and independently; Daniel McAdams has done the work of the Lord in explaining to a stiff-necked people, Americans, why current US foreign policy is antithetical to peace and prosperity; to life and liberty, at home and abroad.   Also try watching the video CONNECT WITH DAVID: DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it.

Iran Tries To Restore Balance; Israel Continues To Murder And Get Away With Murder
HARD TRUTH’S David Vance and ilana Mercer have a heated discussion about Iran’s April 13 & 14 response to Israel’s murder of senior commanders in Damascus, April 1. Ilana details Israel’s lengthy illegal, immoral and extra-judicial assassination program https://www.ilanamercer.com/2020/01/u-s-globes-judge-jury-executioner/ against Iranian civilians and military for decades, coupled as it is with Israeli cyberterrorism ongoing against Iran’s infrastructure and state apparatus. All this occurs against the backdrop of a USA-led brutal program of sanctions and embargoes, and Israel’s US-backed barbarism in Gaza and the West Bank. https://www.ilanamercer.com/2024/03/israel-violation-gods-law-natural-justice-laws-war-customary-international-humanitarian-law/  .  Both agree that the Israel First neocons have always aimed at regime change in Iran. David, however, pushes back on and suggests that darker forces are deliberately pushing global chaos. He suggests that war was wanted with Russia and now war with Iran is being provoked. The US/NATO axis of evil has its DNA all over this – as has the corrupt Netanyahu regime. David and ilana also agree that it was Netanyahu who terrorised his own people with Covid jabs from his Pfizer pals.   Also try watching the video   RELATED READING:  https://www.ilanamercer.com/2024/03/israel-violation-gods-law-natural-justice-laws-war-customary-international-humanitarian-law/   https://www.ilanamercer.com/2020/01/u-s-globes-judge-jury-executioner/ https://www.ilanamercer.com/2012/03/onward-to-iran/   CONNECT WITH DAVID: DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it!

Hermetically Sealed Indictment Of The Jewish Taliban’s Mass Murder In Gaza

Hermetically Sealed Indictment Of The Jewish Taliban’s Mass Murder In Gaza
As always, HARD TRUTH’S David Vance and ilana Mercer arrive together at the truth about Gaza. Ilana says ( https://www.ilanamercer.com/2024/01/memory-indictment-todays-jewish-taliban-not-israel-grew/ ) that it is inarguable: The case against Israel’s murder spree in Gaza is ethically simple, and not within the realm of opinion. It is immutable, eternal truth that: Right and wrong are universal, not relative. There are no tribal privilege clauses: Like gentiles, Jews are prohibited from mass murder. The Sixth Commandment (“Thou shalt not murder”) is neither opinion, nor is it optional. What Israel has visited on Gazans and their little enclave is irreparable, orgiastic mass murder and ethnic cleansing; a blitzkrieg whereby Gazans have been bombed, buried alive, then evicted for life. David pushes back by saying that Hamas are a terror group that should be wiped off the face of the earth but he also emphasises collective punishment is always wrong. David does agree that Israel has a right to self defence but it has to be carried out with concern to the civilian Gazan population.   Also try watching the video     REALTED READING:https://www.ilanamercer.com/2024/01/memory-indictment-todays-jewish-taliban-not-israel-grew/ https://www.ilanamercer.com/2023/12/gaza-vs-fallujah-barbaric-blitzkrieg-highlights-u-s-marines-superiority/ https://www.ilanamercer.com/2023/11/bibi-netanyahu-may-find-dock-hague/ CONNECT WITH DAVID: DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it.

How To Defeat Hamas And Stop The Carnage In Gaza

How To Defeat Hamas And Stop The Carnage In Gaza
HARD TRUTH sees David Vance and ilana Mercer catch up with each other three weeks into the Israel/Hamas catastrophe. Has Netanyahu desecrated the memory of the Oct. 7th martyrs and created new martyrs in Gaza, via his crude response to the Hamas massacre? Has Israel’s PM isolated Israel and squandered the sympathy toward the Jewish State, following Oct. 7? Ilana argues that needed was a smarter, more effective response that targets only the culprits of Oct. 7, not innocents. She outlines such a response. David agrees that cutting off the head of the Hamas snake alone will not stop it regrowing. In all circumstances, ilana and David both agree that US/UK interference in the region is not helpful and that Regionalism always beats Globalism. They also agree that Hamas should be destroyed but the question is, ‘How is this is best achieved’?   To receive ilana’s essay on the topic, please add your email to ilana’s newsletter https://www.ilanamercer.com/mailing-list/ .     To support David, please bookmark his website DavidVance.Net    #Hamas, #Israel, #Gaza, #IsraelAtWar, #Hostages # IntelligenceFailure, #1973 #Netanyahu, #Globalism     Also try watching the video   CONNECT WITH DAVID: DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it.

Hamas, Israel And The Anatomy Of State Treason

Hamas, Israel And The Anatomy Of State Treason
HARD TRUTH with David Vance and ilana mercer deconstructs Hamas's low-tech invasion into southern Israel and the massacre of hundreds of its civilians. Witnessed in Israel on October 7 was the forsaking by the State of its most elementary—and only—obligations to the citizenry: Defend their natural rights to life, liberty and property.    In a perspective like no other; HARD TRUTH examines the complete failure of the Israeli State apparatus, the IDF and intelligence community being the face of the State. We anatomize the backdrop to Hamas’ pogrom, including the geopolitical and domestic forces at play, as well as the fraught history of the Gaza strip. Ilana lived through the 1967 and 1973 wars in Israel; David through the 40 year IRA terrorist onslaught in Northern Ireland. Our hearts ache for victims of barbarians wherever they are. Nevertheless, examine we must the “ethics” of collective punishment by the State.  To receive ilana’s essay on the topic, please add your email to ilana’s newsletter https://www.ilanamercer.com/mailing-list/ .     Also try watching the video   CONNECT WITH DAVID: DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it.

King Tuck’s Transformational. DeSantis Cows to Israel. Roger Waters Refuses.
That Tucker was/is transformational is what David and ilana argued on the April 25, live, “Hard Truth” podcast (https://rumble.com/v2kbeyc-tucker-removed-by-fox.-robert-kennedy-jr-against-the-deep-warfare-woke-indu.html), recorded a day after Tucker Carlson’s dismissal. We got it right. Tucker, like Trump, we contended, is transformational. Fox was finished. Our forecast proved predictive. We discuss developments since. HARD TRUTH had given Governor DeSantis top marks. https://rumble.com/v1th20q-trump-trashes-a-triumphant-desantis-gloves-coming-off.-climate-conference-i.html But has the governor been a bad boy?

Steamrolled By The Abrams: Republican Cretins Swallow Classified-Doc Bait
The Stupid Party has swallowed the bait Democrats laid. Republicans are orgiastic over the Democrat-orchestrated ouster of Biden over classified documents mishandled. Where along the continuum of cretinism is the GOP currently perched? “Trump did it right” but “Biden did it wrong”. They make ILANA sick.

The D-Bomb Has Dropped & Why ‘Mixed-Race’ Is Really Black

The D-Bomb Has Dropped & Why ‘Mixed-Race’ Is Really Black
ILANA refuses to dish anything but reality about the future of the United States from the vantage point immigration. She explains why the DEMOGRAPHIC tipping point has been reached, with reference to the exponential nature of America’s annual intake of legal and illegal immigrants, and immigration law, for which the Uniparty is responsible. Broadly speaking, anyone (other than white South Africans) can claim “credible fear” at the US south-western border, and must by law be given safe passage. That, combined with family unification policies—one legal immigrant brings in a tribe—and birthright citizenship, a legal aberration practiced by no serious country, have made population replacement a fait accompli, a done deal. Don’t despair, Americans; look to localism, counsels ilana, who further dispels, with chapter and verse, any illusions that life-long dissidents have representation on Fox News. Had we listened to Tucker Carlson's resident COVID expert, Dr. Marty Makary, a Jonny-come-lately on all matters COVID, we’d be vaccinated. Fortunately, we ignored his ilk. Ilana closes by pointing out why “mixed race” racism-spotters like Markle and Obama identify exclusively as black. Meanwhile, David suggests that it is NOT a coincidence that the West is embracing the means of its own destruction and that since demography IS destiny the inevitable must happen. Further, the UK is changing dramatically and many major cities are now white minority. This is celebrated in liberal salons but then they fear to walk the streets.
