RAPID
RESPONSE (Archives)...Daily Commentary on News of the Day
This is a new
section. It will
offer fresh,
quick reactions by myself to news and events of the day, day by day, in
this rapid-fire world of ours. Of course, as in military
campaigns,
a rapid response in one direction may occasionally have to be followed
by a "strategic withdrawal" in another direction. Charge that
to
"the fog of war", and to the necessary flexibility any mental or
military
campaign must maintain to be effective. But the mission will
always
be the same: common sense, based upon facts and "real politick",
supported
by a visceral sense of Justice and a commitment to be
pro-active.
That's all I promise.

MEDICAL GASLIGHTING"... A FANCY TERM FOR THE LOUSY MEDICAL CARE BECOMING
ALL TOO COMMON OUT THERE.
Read this article in its entirety. It has a lot to teach you about demanding attention
and proper medical care - besides "rattling the cage".
As medical students, we were taught
that the three most important physician attributes for their patients
were:
Ability; Affability; and
Availability...IN REVERSE ORDER.
Nothing has changed in the requirements
between physician and patient since 1953 when I entered Medical School -
and now, as I continue to practice Medicine in this, my 66th year in this
vocation.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
I address this question, as an
effort to VENT the fire in the belly, to the leaders and people of Israel -
and to our leaders, their sponsors - over the last two decades.
During that time they ALLOWED the
Palestinians, Hamas and the other surrogates of Iran to BUILD A CITY AND
FORTRESS UNDER GAZA AND EFFECTIVELY UNDER iSRAEL ITSELF. Given their
avowed intention to Destroy that nation and all Jews forever...
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
What they were thinking and fighting
over among themselves was an ultimate Union of All of The Holy Land as it was
originally given to them by God as
The Land of Israel.
Laudable, Desirable...and Stupid
given the Reality of the cauldron of their MidEast neighborhood.
Add to that the continuing great
division within Israel over the supremacy between a Judiciary and a
Legislature...
and you have the invasion of Israel
in early October.
You also have an underground war
controlled by Hamas, manipulated with hostages - and now Lost to Israel
in the battlefield of orchestrated Public Opinion Worldwide.
"STUPIDO. STUPIDO.
STUPIDO".
"Meanwhile, back at the
ranch...", our own execrable "leadership" is losing the
battles of our cities, our Law and Order, our borders and our populations, our
secrets, our Military prowess, our reputation for steadfastness on the world
stage - and even our willingness to protect our forces on that world
stage.
And worst of all, they have greatly
DIVIDED our American People.
It will take a TSUNAMI of political
change in November in order to Begin the reversal of the above national
crisis. Anything less will signal the continuing decline and the ultimate
disappearance of America as we have known it for nearly three centuries...Right
On Schedule As With Several Other Democracies Throughout History.
PRAY...YES, PRAY.
But prayer won't be enough, as God
gave His creation Free Will as our great gift - together with His determination
to see its implementation through.

I DON'T DO THIS OFTEN...
but LOOK UP the concluding Panel
segment of Bret Baier's November 20 6 PM report
and the first half of Laura
Ingraham's 7 PM report on the same day, including the
always excellent insights of Victor
Davis Hansen.
Taking off on Joe Biden's 81st
birthday, all of the participants except the congenitally
myopic Leftist female
operative (?) describe a tsunami of national and World-Wide
disgust at the current elitest
putsch for world-view politics and control.
And the events in Israel since early
October have made everything much worse -
and a lot more Dangerous.
Bottom Line: If Israel does not win
a decisive victory over Hamas (BEFORE "NEGOTIATIONS"),
and if Ukraine does not retain its
predominant territorial integrity against the predations of Russia,
the world will have to go back to
practising "Duck And Cover"...of course to no personal avail.

THIS WORK BY DAVID HOROWITZ NEEDS TO
BE READ AND RE-READ.
No Hyperbole here.
And then ACT, AT THE PROPER
TIME...not "just" for your Nation, but FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DECADES.
GS
America is on the brink of destruction.
I don’t say this to shock or scare you – I say it because it’s true.
What
we see today didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of a movement
that began with the Communist revolution in Russia and has been 100
years in the making…
…and Barack Obama hit the accelerator button, fast tracking their agenda.
I’d know better than most. When I was a young man, I was one of the leaders of the movement destroying America today.
50 years ago, I was a Marxist revolutionary bent on bringing America as we know it to an end.
I
stood side by side with Huey Newton and the leaders of the Black
Panthers. I edited Ramparts – radical Left's largest magazine. I
marched, wrote manifestos, and attacked America whenever and however I
could.
Then
the Panthers murdered my friend, and the Left helped the Communists win
the war in Vietnam. My eyes opened to the incredible destruction and
evil my “comrades” made possible. So I left and never looked back.
I
cast my 1984 ballot for Ronald Reagan – then I started the David
Horowitz Freedom Center to fight the Left and I’ve dedicated the last
40 years to exposing them.
Why?
Because
I knew first-hand the threat our country was facing. I knew what was at
stake and I knew if I didn’t tell the American people what I knew, we
would lose our country forever.
That’s
why I spent 6 months writing The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian
Movement Is Destroying America – and I want you to have your very own
copy of it.
So
I’m asking you to stand with me and make a generous, tax-deductible
donation of $35 or more to my Freedom Center. As a thank you, I’ll send
you a complimentary copy of The Enemy Within.
When
you think of “the enemy within” you may think of Joe Biden, Nancy
Pelosi or even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…and you wouldn’t be wrong.
But make no mistake: The real mastermind is Barack Obama.
Barack Obama laid the groundwork for everything we’ve seen since 2020 back in 2008.
Barack
Obama led the destruction of our cities, cozying up to Black Lives
Matter radicals and siding with criminals over police upholding the
rule of law.
Barack Obama championed the castration of our military, making us a laughingstock on the world stage.
And Barack Obama was the true architect behind the bogus Russian collusion witch hunt.
The
devastation and destruction we see today has been over a decade in the
making – but most of the American people have no clue what we’re up
against.
That’s
why I wrote The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement Is Destroying
America to explain how communist and fascist Leftists infiltrated and
overtook the Democrat Party...
...how it has become a party of racism and hatred attacking the very foundations of our country...
…
and how their ultimate goal is to create a one-party state – and
cancel, deplatform and silence every last one of their political
opponents by slandering them as “white supremacists” and worse.
The reviews speak for themselves…
“A Great Book” – Dinesh D’Souza
“The Enemy Within is a book for all patriots who understand that our country is in a fight for its life.” – Mark Levin
“David
Horowitz does it again in a must-read for any American concerned about
where we are headed as a nation.” Laura Ingraham
I wrote The Enemy Within because...
I
know if our country stands a chance, Americans must understand exactly
how sinister and dangerous the new Democrat Party actually is.
I was the enemy within — and I know in my bones what it will take to defeat them.
We’ve
reached the point in our history that will decide our future – and we
either win these political battles or lose everything that makes us
prosperous and free.
That’s
why I’ll send you a complimentary copy of The Enemy Within when you
donate $35 or more to the Freedom Center today and give us the
ammunition we need to expose the Left’s evil agenda to every American
patriot.
The Left is at war with America.
They
don’t simply disagree with us about how to make our country better –
they want to destroy it to make way for their Marxist dystopia.
Or in Obama’s own words “radically transform” America.
And they don’t care how much they have to lie, cheat or steal to achieve it.
So it’s up to patriots like you and me to expose the truth about the Left to our fellow Americans while we still can.
Sincerely,
David Horowitz
FRIDAY and SATURDAY, November 17 and 18, 2023
I'LL BET THAT THIS IS NEWS TO MOST OF
YOU, CATHOLICS AND OTHERS.
Just completed is half of a SYNOD ON
SYNODALITY, authorized by Pope Francis to bring
together a broad representation of
both Clergy and Laity to discuss numerous elements
of Catholic Teaching and also
subjects at the fringes of discussion.
This action was partly stimulated by
prior similar action taken in recent years by the German Clergy,
action which seemed to bring up
uncomfortable memories of Martin Luther.
It was also seen by some as a
desired continuation of Vatican ll and the "Aggiornamento"
of
Pope John XXlll.
But the driving force has been the
desire of Pope Francis, after the quiet Papacies of
John Paul ll and of Benedict, to
"re-open the window" to both ancient and current religious
doctrine and problems.
This is, in my opinion, a welcome
departure from the persistent effort - mainly by some elements
of the clerical Magisterium since
the 1970's, to see that some of the work of Vatican ll would Die Aborning.
In fact, I have been conducting my
own personal "Synod" since that time, posted Faithfully on the
"Catholic Church" section
of this web-site.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
The Catholic Church, both spiritual
and humanly organized for two millennia, has served as a
critical foundation for Man, that
Creation of God intentionally and imperfectly gifted with Free Will.
That foundation is again of great
importance as the world again teeters on the edge of World War.
See: "WORLD DISORDER IS
SPREADING FAST", by Walter Russell Mead (in WSJ September 26, 2023,
pA13).
The best reportage I have found on
the Synod On Synodality to date appears in the current issue of
National Catholic Register: November
5 - 18, 2023. These articles should be studied in toto:
1) "A Synodal Long Game?...,
by Jonathan Liedl, p1: an in-depth and objective review;
2) Two articles by Soline Tadie, p7:
both definitely critical of the process and of the presumed goals.
The second meeting of the Synod will
convene in October, 2024. Meanwhile, we will surely witness
related activity, including both
dialogue and acrimony. And I believe that, throughout all of this,
Pope Francis will "keep his
pedal to the metal". THANK GOD FOR THAT.

NOW HEAR THIS!
In the WSJ publication of November
11-12, 2023, Opinion section, you will find the most comprehensive summary of
America's current dangerously weakened status in the world that I have read in
a long time:
"ISOLATIONISM MAKES A PERILOUS
MOMENT MORE SO", by Paul A. Gigot.
We will be very fortunate to delay
another Pearl Harbor until the November, 2024 national elections - assuming
that Americans "throw the bums out" who have undermined America's
integrity, unity and military primacy. No hyperbole here.
And a few prayers daily will also
help.

OUT WITH THE FOURTH
MONTH OF SUMMER, 2023. IN WITH - WHO KNOWS, EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING VERITIES:
- many
members of two younger generations who are amoral / immoral, immature,
Stupid - and yet who are a political force, including with the desire and
ability to stick it to any opposition through CANCEL CULTURE;
- a
government, mainly at the Federal level, that is deeply and personally
compromised with reference to the Rights and needs of its People;
- our
Nation that is being allowed to be overrun by enemies that can strike at
us internally at any time;
- a
world that, thanks to the ever-festering wound of the Middle East, can
erupt into a Violent and Brief WW lll;
- our
Nation more vulnerable and less prepared psychologically and militarily
than at any time since Pearl Harbor.
NOW LETS GET DOWN TO SPECIFICS.
1) Important insights on the
Israeli / Hamas War by: Jerry Fischer, in the November 2, 2023 edition of
The Day; by Benjamin Netanyahu, in the October 31, 2023 edition of the WSJ;
about "The Incoherence of Pope Francis" by William McGurn in the
October 24, 2023 edition of the WSJ.
2) When are we going to get serious
about Mental Health, Mental illness, Gun Laws, and the ability of third
parties to report related concerns?
3) Euthanasia, aka Medical
Assisted Suicide...NO. Another murderous attack, this one at the end of
Human Life,
4) The Black Community...learning
slowly, but still misled by their cynical and self-serving
"leaders" and Democratic representatives.
5) Democracy, Tyranny and
Imperialism: Goals and Methods - see "Imperialism: Lessons From
History", by Victor Davis Hanson (in Imprimis, July/August, 2023).
6) "The Dirty Side Of Clean
Energy And Electric Vehicles", in Ctmirror October 24, 2023).
7) Kids and Social Media: see "Smartphones
- Seductively Addictive, Detrimental To Mental Health" , (in The Epoch
Times September 20-26, 2023).
8) Iran - and the rest of the
Middle East and Islam: our Gordian Knot. Will it need careful untying - or
Alexander's solution?
9) China's quiet invasion of this Nation.
10) Fair State and National
Elections: vital if this Democracy is to survive. Meanwhile, we
continue to uncover the Truth about 2020.
11) The Decline and Impending
Fall of the Medical Profession...Really.
12) Public Education: a
Failure fighting all meaningful change - Shameful !
13) Truth, Lies...and
Consequences regarding Human Sex: Yes, But....
14) Crime and Punishment...the over-reaching of Prosecutors, the
politicization of Judges, the "Blue Line" corruption of some Police.
THIS MUST CHANGE.

citizens to come to the aid of their Country".

EVERYTHING HAS BECOME POLITICIZED IN AT LEAST THE LAST DECADE, INCLUDING SCIENCE AND HEALTH
CARE.
This is a Disaster for these two
formerly dependable professional endeavors, benefiting the charlatans and fools
and liars who have always been around - and confusing and damaging all the
People who have depended on those professionals until now.
The most recent areas where this is
becoming rampant are the COVID treatment saga, Climate Change, and now the
steady Decline of Health Care Delivery - the latter through the developing
substitution of inadequately trained substitutes, the antagonism of third party
payors practising Medicine without a licence, and the overregulation and
over-documentation requirements imposed by the Bureaucrats.
WHAT TO DO?
BECOME AND STAY INFORMED. KNOW AND
DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS. AND VOTE YOUR PERSONAL INTERESTS, NOT THOSE OF THE
POLITICIANS.
AND IF NECESSARY...SUE THE BASTARDS
!
