Stupidocrisy: Designating Islamic Terrorists as Humanitarians :: By Bill Wilson

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken announced last week that the State Department would revoke the terrorist designations of Ansarallah, AKA the Houthis. This reverses the Trump Administration’s terrorist designation of the Houthis, who are part of Iran’s terrorist network.

Blinken said the decision “is a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen,” and “The revocations are intended to ensure that relevant U.S. policies do not impede assistance to those already suffering what has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

In other words, the Biden Administration, like the Obama Administration, trusts terrorist groups to deliver humanitarian aid. Already, the decision is proving Stupidocrisy.

Blinken, in announcing the intent to not impede humanitarian aid flowing through the Houthis, also stated:

“The United States remains clear-eyed about Ansarallah’s malign actions, and aggression, including taking control of large areas of Yemen by force, attacking U.S. partners in the Gulf, kidnapping and torturing citizens of the United States and many of our allies, diverting humanitarian aid, brutally repressing Yemenis in areas they control, and the deadly attack on December 30, 2020, in Aden against the cabinet of the legitimate government of Yemen. Ansarallah’s actions and intransigence prolong this conflict and exact serious humanitarian costs.”

With all of that, Blinken still wants to send money to the Houthi, believing it will reach those in need?

The Houthi are not Samaritan’s Purse or the Red Cross. The terrorist Houthi oversee the famine, starvation and disease faced by over 80 percent of Yemen’s population. The Houthi are known for taking humanitarian aid and diverting it to salaries of their terrorist minions and the supplying of terrorist activities that the Secretary of State admits is “brutally repressing Yemenis in areas they control.”

What?

In other words, America and the United Nations funnel money through the Houthi, hoping they will use it to feed and clothe people, all the while knowing that the Houthi are going to enrich themselves while they continue their rape, torture, and pillage of the poor people in Yemen.

Human Rights Watch, in a September 2020 statement, said the Houthis have a “particularly egregious record of obstructing aid agencies from reaching civilians in need.”

Saying you are against terrorism and all the despicable acts of the Houthis on one hand, and clearing the way for the Houthis to receive millions of dollars in humanitarian aid on the other hand is hypocritical. Doublespeaking it in the same official statement is stupid. Hence, Stupidocrisy.

The Biden Administration apparently will be repeating the Obama Administration’s failed foreign policies of funding terrorists to achieve democracy and peace, such as Arab Spring. It’s kind of like Psalm 35:12, “They rewarded me evil for good to the bereavement of my soul.” They take our hard-earned money and give it to evildoers, who enrich themselves at the expense of others.

Might be a pattern here. Maybe the Biden family foreign policy is now expanding operations from Russia, Ukraine, and China into Iran – they just can’t help themselves.

Silencing the Lambs :: By Bill Wilson

It’s never good to have one political party in control of everything. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, not that the party in power needs any lessons on corruption.

The Democratic Party is usurping the power of the people with its cancel culture and censorship.

Voting to remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committee assignments is denying the voters of her Georgia congressional district equal representation in Congress. It is no less than political intolerance, ideological bigotry. Granted, Green has said some questionable things and has beliefs that are contrary to a lot of people, but to deny her the ability to represent her constituents is tyranny.

But there is more.

The power party also has suggested censoring Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO). The Senate Ethics Committee will conduct a secretive investigation into whether the two senators, who were champions of questioning election integrity, had a role inciting the assault on Capitol Hill—which the media and the Democratic Party are labeling an insurrection and coup attempt. The Chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee, Chris Coons, who holds President Joe Biden’s* old senate seat in Delaware, previously has called for Cruz and Hawley to resign because of their positions on election fraud.

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) doesn’t support Cruz’ and Hawley’s positions, but said, “It’s a very slippery slope if you start punishing senators for holding unpopular views and exercising their rights on the Senate floor.”

The Democrats abhor Greene’s viewpoints on conspiracy theories, global warming, election fraud, QAnon and 911. They also want to make sure that everyone is silenced who disagrees with their opinions on the assault on Capitol Hill and whether Joe Biden* was the victor due to election fraud. This is where the tyranny is underscored. Think about the outrageous exhortations Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other Democrats have made to “punish” Trump supporters, which in some cases have incited violence, bullying, and threats. But that’s OK to the party in power because the party in power believes they are right and their targets deserving.

These ideological bigots want total compliance with their viewpoints. They are going so far as to deny people their rightful elected representation in Congress, they have taken steps to prevent Trump Administration workers from getting jobs, and have labeled as “domestic terrorists” all 74 million people who voted for Trump. It’s the attempt to silence dissent, just as China has done with political and religious intolerance.

Dissent toward the power party could be likened to the situation described in Jeremiah 11:19:

“But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, ‘Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”

Their goal: Silence history, silence opposition, silence the lambs.
