The Election Is Looming — and These Washingtonians Are Running Scared

(Worthy Insights) – As election week approaches, Washington, D.C., residents are grappling with fears of potential unrest, reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol riot with many in Washington planning conveniently timed getaways, seeking to avoid possible chaos, with some recalling unsettling experiences from previous political turmoil.

The heightened anxiety reflects concerns across the political spectrum about post-election violence, with liberals fearing a repeat of January 6 and conservatives worried about antifa-related unrest. Businesses and officials are preparing for worst-case scenarios, holding briefings and tabletop exercises involving Homeland Security and local police. The discussions, once unthinkable, show how deeply the events of 2020 have reshaped the city’s mindset about election safety. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Archaeological Discoveries Continue in Israel Despite Regional Conflicts

(Worthy Insights) – Despite ongoing regional tensions in 2024, Israeli archaeologists have continued their vital work, unearthing remarkable artifacts that span millennia of human history. While the pace of excavations has slowed—with approximately 120 sites explored compared to the typical 250-300—the findings have been no less extraordinary.

“Despite the difficult year we experienced due to the war, the Israel Antiquities Authority continued to carry out rescue excavations throughout the country,” notes IAA director-general Eli Escusido, highlighting the organization’s commitment to preserving historical heritage even in challenging times.

Among the year’s most significant discoveries is an ancient stone road in northern Jerusalem’s Mount Hotzvim, dating to the Second Temple period. This pathway may have historic religious significance, potentially connecting to the previously discovered “Pilgrim’s Road.” [ Source: Israel365 (Read More…) ]

IDF releases more documents it says show cooperation between Hamas and Al Jazeera

(Worthy Insights) – The IDF on Thursday published further documents captured in Gaza that it said indicated close cooperation between Hamas and Al Jazeera, including papers in which the terror group advised the Qatari network not to criticize it, and in which the sides coordinated on concealing incidents of failed rocket launches.

The release came a day after the army publicized documents uncovered in the Gaza Strip that it said showed that six active Al Jazeera reporters are operatives in Palestinian terror groups.

The IDF said the latest documents proved direct communication and cooperation between the Qatari network and Hamas. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Water Libation Reenactment Takes Place in Preparation for the Third Temple

(Worthy Insights) – On Sunday, a full-dress reenactment of the water libation, as it was performed in the Temple, was held in Jerusalem with several hundred participants led by Kohanim in priestly garb, accompanied by Levites playing musical instruments.

The event began at Shaar Hashpot (the dung gate) in Jerusalem’s Old City where participants joined Kohanim (priests) in Biblically mandated vestments and Levites with musical instruments, also wearing special vestments. The musically gifted Levites led the ceremony with joyous music on drums, violin, guitar, and clarinet, winding down ancient walkways into the valley below the Temple Mount. The crowd sang and danced as they passed from the archaeological remains of the ancient City of David, through an Arab village, to the Shiloach (Siloam) Spring, which was used in Temple times. The procession was punctuated by stops during which four-foot-long pure silver trumpets were sounded. [ Source: Israel365 (Read More…) ]

‘Deadly Serious Breach’: Classified US Docs on Israel Reach Iranian News Entity, Signaling Jewish State ‘Can’t Trust Washington’

(Worthy Insights) – The Biden-Harris administration is investigating a “deadly serious breach” of classified U.S. intelligence detailing Israeli plans for a strike on Iran, the latest in a series of targeted leaks against Israel that has put America’s closest Middle East ally on edge, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The explosive weekend release included top-secret Pentagon documents purporting to show Israel’s preparations for a large-scale counterstrike on Iran. The two documents—compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency over the past several weeks—expose how Israel is preparing for the attack, including the types of aircraft and munitions that are expected to be used. They were published by the Middle East Spectator, a little-known outlet that is known to disseminate propaganda from Tehran.

While the documents, according to CNN, include markings that indicate they were meant to be shared with the “Five Eyes” intelligence network—made up of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada—a former U.S. intelligence community official who reviewed them said there is no question they emanated from the U.S. side. The documents, the former official said, appear to have been posted on a U.S. classified system that can be accessed by “thousands upon thousands” of American officials from across the government.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

Full-Dress Kohen Sighted on Temple Mount

(Worthy Insights) – The Temple Institute announced a remarkable development that brought Israel one step closer to the Third Temple. For the first time since the Temple stood in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, a kohen (male descendant of Biblical Aaron the High Priest) ascended to the Temple Mount wearing the Biblically mandated Kohanic garments. While on the mount, the Kohen joined in a prayer quorum and gave the priestly blessing to those gathered.

The Temple Institute prepared the garments in preparation for the return of the Temple service.

This impressive feat was accomplished despite the numerous extra-legal restrictions placed on Jews at the site. There is no law preventing Jews from praying on the Temple Mount, and the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Jewish prayer several times. Jews do pray at the site in inconspicuous manners and out of sight from the Arabs, but the police frequently prevent this from happening. On Tuesday, Jews prayed freely in minyanim (quorums of ten).

Christian students in Wisconsin speak out after Kamala Harris told them they were at the ‘wrong rally’

(Worthy Insights) – A pair of Christian students trolled by Kamala Harris and mercilessly mocked by the crowd at her rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Cross last week insist they were “there for the right reasons.”

Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, both juniors at the school, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that they felt persecuted akin to Jesus and his early followers after they shouted such things as, “Christ is king!” when the Democratic vice president-turned-presidential candidate started talking about abortion rights.

One of them said Harris even sarcastically waved to him and gave him “an evil smirk” as he held up the cross around his neck and pointed to her while being booted with his pal. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Iran remembers Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a ‘martyr’ and ‘model for the youth and children’

(Worthy Insights) – Hours after Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces, Iran remembered Sinwar as a martyr whose vision for a liberated Palestine would be carried forward.

Sinwar, the architect of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which prompted the ongoing war between the Jewish state and terror group in the Gaza Strip, was killed Thursday by Israeli forces in Rafah.

“He told you he was a lion, but in reality, he was hiding in a dark den, and he was killed when he fled in a panic from our soldiers,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised message announcing Sinwar’s death. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]

‘Despicable’: Washington Post obituary for Yahya Sinwar ‘glorifies’ him

(Worthy Insights) – Media Analyst and Political Commentator Stephanie Hamill slams the Washington Post obituary for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar which she says is “glorifying” an “evil man”.

“The Washington Post did refer to ISIS’ leader as an austere scholar, and it was totally reprehensible then and then once again, it is like they are glorifying this evil, evil man,” Ms Hamill told Sky News host James Morrow.

“If you read through the article, It’s almost like they are not talking about a man who is a leader and person behind who is behind the murdering of over 1200 Jewish people. [ Source: Sky News Australia (Read More…) ]

Americans’ Trust In Mass Media Hits All-Time Low

(Worthy Insights) – Good news is hard to come by in this late-stage American empire, but a new poll offers a ray of hope, finding that Americans’ trust and confidence in mass media is at an all-time low.

Only 31% of Americans have a “great deal” or a “fair amount” of trust in mass media “when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly,” according to Gallup poll conducted in early September. A greater number of Americans — 36% — say they have no trust at all.

Going back to when Gallup first asked the question in 52 years ago, trust was highest in 1976, topping out at 72% — more than double current levels. Meanwhile, the percent expressing complete distrust has soared from single digits in ’76. [ Source:ZeroHedge (Read More…) ]

Michigan’s Voter Rolls List 8.4M Voters. There Are Fewer Than 8M Voting-Age Residents In The State

(Worthy Insights) – Around 8.4 million people are registered to vote in Michigan, but that’s nearly 500,000 more people than the total number of voting-age residents in the state.

The inflated voter rolls in Michigan, a vital battleground state in the 2024 election, are one of the largest imbalances in the country, Bridge Michigan reported. The Republican National Committee sued Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the inflated voter rolls earlier this year, along with filing lawsuits over other election-related issues in the state, but Benson’s office dismissed the concerns on Wednesday, arguing that the lawsuits “lay the groundwork to overturn the results of the election if they don’t like them.”

“The RNC and its members are concerned that Defendants’ failure to comply with the NVRA’s voter-list maintenance obligations undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for ineligible voters or voters intent on fraud to cast ballots,” the RNC’s lawsuit stated.

Study finds Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe

(Worthy Insights) – The 15th-century explorer Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe, Spanish scientists said on Saturday, after using DNA analysis to tackle a centuries-old mystery.

Several countries have argued over the origins and the final burial place of the divisive figure who led Spanish-funded expeditions from the 1490s onward, opening the way for the European conquest of the Americas.

Many historians have questioned the traditional theory that Columbus came from Genoa, Italy. Other theories range from him being a Spanish Jew or a Greek, to Basque, Portuguese or British. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]

The secret of Netanyahu’s unacknowledged and historic popularity

(Worthy Insights) – It was strange to watch Fox News’ Martha MacCallum yesterday refer to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “unpopularity” in Israel. McCallum is a straight-shooting journalist. So how is it that she is unaware that Netanyahu is the most popular prime minister Israel has had in ages?

Direct Polls is Israel’s most accurate polling company. It was the only one to accurately call the 2022 Knesset elections that returned Netanyahu and his Right-Religious bloc to power. Over the past year, Direct Polls accomplished what was previously considered impossible: It conducted uniformly accurate polls of much smaller local government elections.

Netanyahu’s popularity reasonably sank in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion and slaughter of 1,200 Israelis. But it began rebounding in late November. After National Resilience Party leader Benny Gantz resigned from Netanyahu’s government in June, Netanyahu steadily rose in Direct Polls tracking polls—leading Gantz and Opposition leader Yesh Atid Party head Yair Lapid by double digits in head-to-head matchups. In the intervening months, the gap between Netanyahu and his rival has grown steadily. [ Source: JNS (Read More…) ]

‘Huge unforced error’: CBS News roiled by allegations of anti-Israel bias, deceptive editing

(Worthy Insights) – CBS News showed that it can make news as well as cover it after a brutal week that saw the network add allegations of anti-Israel bias to its woes over its editing of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

The network was criticized for admonishing “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil over his quizzing of author Ta-Nehisi Coates on his Israel-unfriendly book “The Message,” an interview that reportedly prompted a public reprimand at an Oct. 7 staff meeting and a round of diversity coaching.

Corrections Are Not Enough: Washington Post Misquotes Israeli Expert, Then Inserts Hezbollah Propaganda

(Worthy Insights) – Lieutenant Colonel (Res.) Sarit Zehavi, the founder and president of Alma — an independent research and education center focused on Israel’s security challenges along its northern border — has become a sought-after commentator amid Israel’s ongoing strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Following the elimination of the terrorist organization’s leader, Hasan Nasrallah, it’s no surprise that the international media have turned to her for insight.

However, it was extremely surprising to see comments in The Washington Post connected with Zehavi that implied the Galilee region in northern Israel is “disputed” territory. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Iran Could Dash To Build a Nuclear Weapon Before Biden Leaves Office, Experts Warn

(Worthy Insights) – Iran could rush to build a functional nuclear weapon ahead of the 2024 presidential election should it assess that Donald Trump is poised to win, U.S. foreign policy experts are warning as Tehran works to undermine Trump’s White House bid.

“Iran may seek to establish a nuclear fait accompli before the next administration takes office in January 2025, especially if Iran perceives the new administration to be more hawkish, unpredictable, or otherwise less constrained,” the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank wrote in a recent assessment detailing Tehran’s march towards an atomic bomb.

That assessment comes as Iran seeks to influence the outcome of the November election, including by targeting the Trump campaign with a cyber operation. The campaign announced an Iranian hack in August when stolen materials were sent to news outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Tim Walz promoted research facility that partners with China’s Wuhan lab

(Worthy Insights) – Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has long promoted a Minnesota-based medical research center with a history of working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, according to records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

The center in Walz’s home state of Minnesota, the Hormel Institute, often collaborates on research with the WIV, the institute in Wuhan, China, at the center of the COVID-19 lab leak theory. For over a decade, Walz has held meetings with the Hormel Institute and toured the research center, which has thanked Walz for securing it millions of dollars in funding, records show.

News of the ties between the Walz-allied research center and the WIV comes as the Democratic vice presidential nominee faces a congressional investigation over his “extensive” connections to China. This year, the U.S. government halted federal funding to a nonprofit group that worked with the lab in Wuhan — where the FBI has said COVID-19 likely emerged. Walz has reportedly traveled 30 times to China, including for his honeymoon, and he said in 2016 that he does not “fall into the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship” with the United States.

Zuckerberg says he regrets caving to White House pressure on content

(Worthy Insights) – Mark Zuckerberg says he regrets that Meta bowed to Biden administration pressure to censor content, saying in a letter that the interference was “wrong” and he plans to push back if it happens again.

Meta’s CEO aired his grievances in a letter Monday to the House Judiciary Committee in response to its investigation into content moderation on online platforms. Zuckerberg detailed how senior administration officials leaned on the company to censor certain posts about Covid-19, including humor and satire, and “expressed a lot of frustration” when the social media platform resisted.

Zuckerberg also expressed regret for essentially hiding content related to coverage by the New York Post about Hunter Biden ahead of the 2020 election that the FBI warned may have been rooted in a Russian disinformation operation. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Christians and Jews led global migration trends, Pew study revealed

(Worthy Insights) – A report from the Pew Research Center, released on Wednesday, uncovered that Christians and Jews were leading global migration trends, highlighting the significant role these religious groups played in the international movement of people. The study, which analyzed data from United Nations sources and over 270 censuses and surveys, revealed that Christians and Jews were overrepresented among the world’s migrants compared to their global population shares.

According to the report, Christians constituted nearly half (47%) of all international migrants, a figure notably higher than their 30% share of the global population. This made Christianity the most represented religion among those who lived outside their country of birth.

Meanwhile, Jews, though representing a tiny fraction of the world’s population at 0.2%, accounted for 1% of global migrants. This meant that one in every five Jews, or 20%, resided outside their country of birth, making them the religious group most likely to have migrated. [ Source (Read More…) ]
