My new novel is now available for sale (hard copy or kindle-download) at Dorrance Publishing! Three to five man-portable nuclear weapons have been stolen from Pakistan by an emergent Islamic terrorist group. To show their resolve they set off one of the devices in a major city. President Denise Wilson, America’s first woman president, is confronted with conflicting intelligence information and denies any possibility the U.S. could be a target. Meanwhile, the newly elected conservative Speaker of the House, who does not know of the stolen weapons, is proceeding with impeachment charges against President Wilson. Can President Wilson put her fears of impeachment to the side as she deals with this crisis? Will the coalition of the U.S., the post-Putin regime in Russia, and China succeed in preventing the terrorists from more nuclear attacks? https://lnkd.in/gmu74WbU

#IsraelCrisis | "I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in #Israel. In fact, I am sure you don’t. Let’s break this down. Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled. But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short-range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range. Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km. Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km! Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection. The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non-existent. If one thing went wrong — if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base — we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis. And all of that is not even the biggest miracle. A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God-fearing Jew. Until yesterday. Here is what he wrote me. ‘If you’re looking for miracles man - last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.’ He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least. Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that were NOT intercepted. Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “empty spaces”. Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?  How? Listen, I get it. This thought process begs the question, where was God during the horrible terrorist attack yesterday? Where was He on October 7th? Where was He during the Holocaust? All valid questions that require a very serious nuanced conversation. But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes."

Iran is the real culprit in the deaths of these two fine SEALs in the story below. Yet too little has been done to stop Iran- empowered Houthi attacks on the Red Sea. Where is the retaliation for creating the Red Sea crises our troops had to die for? “Yemen’s rebel group has launched some 130 attacks in the crucial waterway since the start of the war in Gaza,” tormenting global trade waterways. (Al Jazeera) https://lnkd.in/gpCUNNhK “Two Navy SEALs drowned as they tried to climb aboard a ship carrying illicit Iranian-made weapons to Yemen because of glaring training failures and a lack of understanding about what to do after falling into deep, turbulent waters, according to a military investigation into the January deaths. “The review concluded that the drownings of Chief Special Warfare Operator Christopher J. Chambers and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Nathan Gage Ingram could have been prevented.”(Navy Times) A lot of blame is placed on training failures which is inconceivable for Tier one operators like SEALs assigned to one of the most dangerous missions in their queue. This shows the lack of attention all the way from the top of our military forces by an incompetent, seemingly non-existent commander-in-chief. Also where’s the focus of those responsible in subordinate commands to provide for the readiness to execute regional combatant plans to address terrorism on the high seas? We have the firepower to disable and destroy Houthi abilities to launch missiles and drones - why haven’t we blown their launching sites apart? Back in January Vice News reported, “In November, the Houthis, who control much of Yemen including the capital Sanaa, began targeting Red Sea shipping with shore launched missiles and drones in protest of the [Israeli] offensive.” Protest? For Israel fighting terror on their homeland, at their borders, and being attacked daily from a three-pronged terrorist enemy? Houthis are the offensive- “The raided vessel was carrying an array of weaponry the Pentagon said were intended for the Houthis, including ballistic missile warheads, anti-ship missiles and ‘air defence components.” General Michael Erik Kurilla, the commander of U.S. forces in the region said then, “We will continue to work with regional and international partners to expose and interdict these efforts. . . “ https://lnkd.in/gevdEnvS The response to stop Iran, the Houthis, and to help Israel has been pathetically slow. Certainly these two SEALs’ deaths could have been prevented with much more than inadequate training (as reported) but by a show of force to Iran and its proxies from the get go. Or is the fact we no longer have someone with the mental capacity to lead all the regional combatant commands any kind of deterrent? #Navy #Iran #NavySEAL #Houthi #counterterrorism #Israel

Another brutal observation, truth explained and warnings from 4 years ago. Now why I am posting content from 4 years ago? Because I am showing you a legal case… and indictment on your system as it became corrupted and apostate. Now look at that last word… apoSTATE. “The State” is a complex and multifaceted concept generally referring to a political entity with a centralized government that holds authority over a specific geographic territory. It typically possesses a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within its borders, maintaining order, enforcing laws, and regulating affairs through institutions such as the judiciary, legislature, and executive branches. A state also has the following key characteristics: 1. Sovereignty: The ability to govern itself without interference from external powers. 2. Territory: Defined geographic boundaries within which it exercises authority. 3. Population: A group of people subject to the state’s governance. 4. Government: The organized body or institutions that enforce laws, provide public services, and ensure order. The state’s role can vary from minimal, focusing solely on law enforcement and protection (as in libertarian perspectives), to expansive, where it manages economic and social affairs (as seen in welfare states or socialist models). The concept of the state has been analyzed and debated in political theory, with various definitions depending on ideological perspectives. Thinkers like Max Weber define the state primarily through its monopoly on the legitimate use of force, while others emphasize the state’s role in managing power dynamics between different social groups, ensuring justice, and maintaining social order. The checks and balances system and the separation of powers were designed to prevent the concentration of power within “the State” because of its inherent propensity for tyranny. The framers of the U.S. Constitution, and other democratic theorists, understood that unchecked power in any one branch or institution could lead to authoritarianism or the abuse of power. This system, in many ways, was influenced by the political philosophy of thinkers like Montesquieu, who advocated for the separation of powers to preserve liberty, and James Madison, who emphasized in Federalist No. 51 that “ambition must be made to counteract ambition.” They recognized that without these mechanisms, “the State” could easily become a tool of oppression rather than a safeguard of the people’s rights. Now ask why so much confusion and lies now? In that function of “The State” or the checks and balances upon it along with the separation of powers? It is “The State” in its civil apoSTATE influences. It creates and then weaponizes confusion and fear with lies against the people. What is behind it? Evil. As for people so too for the nation. Othniel Max Daves

Richemond-Barak, a supposed Israeli expert, comes out with one crucial revelation and one groundbreaking conclusion on Hamas's reinvention of underground warfare. I quote directly for emphasis: 1. Israel arguably possesses the world’s most advanced antitunnel technology. 2. Making sense of this paradox is a key lesson from this war. Technology and military superiority cannot on their own stop the tunnel trend. Bodes very well for Israel that it has such expertise at its disposal. #Israel #hamas #gaza #gazagenocide #israeliwarcrimes

Beyond the specific context of the U.S. Senate, the term "nuclear option" has come to be used generically for a procedural maneuver with potentially serious consequences, to be used as a last resort to overcome political opposition. Considering the idiocy and childishness of Congress and the rot of the overall bureaucratistanic regime… Maybe we need an actual nuclear option. Mutual assured destruction has a way of forcing sobriety and humility. Othniel Max Daves

**WHILE YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION...** Sadly, cable TV replaced (free) local TV networks. Then, the internet replaced the local newspaper, making it difficult to get good reliable news about the area in which you live. Then, social media and other technology like Facebook and Google dominated and 'filtered' the info that you can share or access. And now, one of the people behind all of this nonsense, George Soros, is trying to dominate and control the last bastion of the First Amendment and conservatism: AM talk radio. AM radio is free and available in almost every rural, suburban and urban area of our nation. A lot of religious broadcasting is carried on AM. https://lnkd.in/gpZbAdzp You have to ask yourself why he wants to do this. Could it be that he wants to stop people from hearing info, news and opinions that differ from him and his Leftist, one-world cronies? Fortunately, the alternative media (X/Twitter, Substack, Rumble, Truth Social, etc.) is growing rapidly. People like Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson and many others have a voice that you can still hear. HERE'S MY POINT. It is human nature to dislike and resist when we are told by power-hungry tyrants that we cannot have or believe something. So people will always find a workaround or some way to cheat the system in order to get what they want. Repression is often the mother of invention. And I like that a lot.

#Leaked documents show US #intelligence on #Israel’s plans to attack #Iran, sources say --- #usa #DOD #PENTAGON #FiveEyes #Australia, #Canada, #NewZealand #UK --- The US is investigating a leak of highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar confirmed the documents’ authenticity. The leak is “deeply concerning,” a US official told CNN. The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.” They describe preparations Israel appears to be making for a strike against Iran. One of the documents, which says it was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, says the plans involve Israel moving munitions around. Another document says it is sourced to the National Security Agency and outlines Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, also believed to be in preparation for a strike on Iran. CNN is not quoting directly from or showing the documents. A US official said the investigation is examining who had access to the alleged Pentagon document. Any such leak would automatically trigger an investigation by the FBI alongside the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies. The FBI declined to comment. The leak comes at an extremely sensitive moment in US-Israeli relations and is bound to anger the Israelis, who have been preparing to strike Iran in response to Iran’s missile barrage on October 1. One of the documents also suggests something that Israel has always declined to confirm publicly: that the country has nuclear weapons. The document says the US has not seen any indications that Israel plans to use a nuclear weapon against Iran. “If it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran’s attack on October 1 have been leaked, it is a serious breach,” said Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East and a retired CIA officer. Mulroy added that “the future coordination between the US and Israel could be challenged as well. Trust is a key component in the relationship, and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded.” [..] | CNN Politics

WHITE EAGLE LANDS FOR SECRET COUNCIL ON LIES AND GOD WARS #axios #falseinformation #factcheck #secretservice #lies #financialcrime #blackhawk #propaganda #journalism #abrahamlincoln Two sets of lies have been discovered in two days regarding the origin of the Secret Service and its purpose. One is "Manhunt, the miniseries," a Lincoln assassination series called "historical drama." It spoke of a pre-existing Secret Service for both the Union and Confederacy, which is malarkey. But the article below on "Axios" is so wrong and misleading it should be heralded as the hugest of Lies because it retells and changes dates in our American History for political/financial gains. https://lnkd.in/edqGS-me It states the Secret Service was not formed until the McKinley Assassination in 1901. The 2025 Project takes credit for trying to de-activate the Treasury Mission of the United States Secret Service, and following the Trump incident, a Bill is being pushed to take Secret Service out of money matters altogether. Those relying on malfeasance in banking and finance desire to eliminate "The Special Agent Division (is) charged with two missions: protection and investigation. During the course of their careers, special agents carry out assignments in both of these areas. Their many investigative responsibilities include counterfeiting, forgery, and financial crimes. " Below is the U.S. Government Frozen in Time Secret Service History for Kids: https://lnkd.in/eqiCceJV Additionally I posted my own deeper history of the Secret Service several posts ago. We don't need Truth. The only banks which are boasting now are the two whose founder families robbed mine long ago, still holding our stuff from 1967 for no good- Wells Fargo (Norwest) and Bank of America, essentially Bush, Bond, Walker, Bechtel and Barnett. They always smell like roses when the dominoes fall. With every failure they become larger, with PNC, Citi, and JP Morgan Chase raking in the spoils. These are they who have lots of extra invisible dough to buy out failures for a song from the FDIC. The FDIC has allowed predatory banks to acquire more than 15 banks in a row, then fail, sold to the big boys, with Government Assistance. I do not trust Bush Homeland Security which is what we are stuck with now, to return the money GHW Bush made on National Gas and Oil of mine, during the Cuban Oil Embargo. Zapata Oil was 50% "National" and 50% Texan cartel. Zapata Oil Records are MIA, but it was sold to Stanolind which was acquired by BP through sanctified thieves. Concerning The God Wars, infiltration, bad intelligence, subterfuge and the extreme shortage of credible theologians able or willing to teach will be discussed, over a light luncheon. Why do humans expect supernatural interventions, given Freedom of Choice and The Honor System? The time and location of the Council is undisclosed and mostly telepathic, to Absolutely prevent hacking and espionage.

I am quoted in Giovanni Giacalone hard-hitting The Times of Israel piece, which addresses why negotiating with terrorists is bound to backfire, focusing on the latest #ceasefire proposal with #Hamas that involves allowing #Israel's forces to stay in #Gaza while releasing remaining hostages, including soldiers. Many are already celebrating victory, claiming that #Hamas is in such dire straits that it has no choice but to go along with these conditions. However, there is no clear reason for #Hamas to do this IF #Israel is indeed committed to continuing the war after the release of the hostages. So what's the real story? #terrorism #counterterrorism #extremism #counterextremism #MuslimBrotherhood #Islamism #Islamists #middleeast #arabworld #military #security #defense #humanrights #humanrightsviolations #hostages #conflictresolution #conflictmanagement #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #Biden #politics #diplomacy #geopolitics

Can the US do it? Accept with humility the concept of "shared prosperity" that it's self proclaimed adversary, China has been saying and promoting for years? Can it dilute it's strategic aims of subduing and containing perceived ( and sometimes imaginary) threats by military presence of its 800 outposts? Can it accept that different cultures may prosper under different regimes, some not so liberal and democratic as themselves? Can they tone down their military industrial complex and divert more resources to address universal threats such as climate change aimed at ensuring human security for all peoples of the world?
