 Tragic Milestone Nears

No one knows for sure the exact number of young men who have died in the war between Russia and Ukraine, but estimates say it may be closing in on 850,000. Self-avowed anti-Vladimir Putin media organization Mediazona gauges around 350,000 Russian deaths since February 2022 using a model based on Russian death filings. Ukrainian casualty figures are a closely guarded secret, but amputee data suggests an even higher number of deaths for Ukraine. According to The New York Times, “A nonprofit providing prosthetics has estimated that 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers require artificial limbs.” In Vietnam the ratio of amputations to deaths was around one amputee for every 11 dead U.S. GIs, but the ratio in modern times has gone down to around one to six as battlefield medicine has improved. That means 480,000 Ukrainian men have most likely died. In addition, an estimated 15,850 Ukrainian civilians have been killed.

Pumped About $8-a-Gallon Gas?

Speaking at a conference in New York in late May, ExxonMobil’s Senior Vice President Neil Chapman issued a stark warning to the public that energy prices may explode upward by July. “We’re approaching unheard of inventory levels,” said Chapman. “I mean really, really low levels. You can debate whether that’s going to hit those really low levels in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you’ll see prices shoot up.” Prices have largely stayed low, Chapman added, because of the release of strategic petroleum reserves by multiple countries, but that will change soon as strategic reserves are quickly running out like at no other time in history and will push oil up to $150 to $200 a barrel. That translates into $7 or $8 a gallon for gasoline at the pump across the United States—and who knows how high in California.

Zionist Intimidation Network

Last year, French judge Nicolas Gouyou issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court. Gouyou now says Visa and Mastercard have blocked all his cards, leaving him unable to make any purchases via traditional methods. He recently told French reporters that judges, lawyers, and politicians are all being intimidated and treated as criminals because they are investigating war crimes committed by Israel.

$40 Million Black Money Mystery

A senior official at the CIA was arrested in late May after police found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence. According to local reports, David Rush apparently brought them home from work over multiple years and kept them. Rush is being held in jail while he awaits formal charges. Court papers describe Rush as a “former senior executive service-level employee at a United States government agency,” but most people in the know realize that means he was with the CIA. How many other U.S. spies secretly squirrelled away millions of dollars that had been appropriated in black budget operations that were never disclosed to the public?

Board of Peace Money Missing?

On May 26, The Financial Times reported that, four months after its launch, President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has received zero dollars in its World Bank fund. Instead, all of the donations sent so far have been routed through a JPMorgan account that has no independent transparency requirements. Moroccan officials say they sent $20 million. The UAE provided $100 million specifically to train a Gaza police force, but the program has not even started. In all, Board of Peace members pledged $7 billion, and Trump promised another $10 billion in U.S. funding. “Not one U.S. dollar has been deployed for the rebuilding of Gaza,” two people familiar with postwar planning told The Financial Times. No reconstruction contracts have been awarded. So where is all the money?

West Bank Child Abuse Scandal

The worst pedophilia and rape scandal in Israeli history rocked the West Bank settlement movement recently—and Americans have heard nothing about it, reports Israeli journalist Shaiel Ben-Ephraim. A local Israeli investigation has exposed a horrifying network of organized, pedophilic, and sadistic child abuse within a large settlement called the Gush Etzion bloc. At least five women have provided identical testimonies, naming the “same perpetrators and locations,” alleging assaults on young children by rabbis and other religious figures in “synagogues, forests, and cemeteries.” Israeli police in the West Bank routinely closed files without even doing basic investigation of these criminal networks that operated unchecked in a lawless blind spot, reported Ben-Ephraim.

Pedophile Avoids Justice

Tom Alexandrovich is head of the Technological Defense Division at the Israel National Cyber Directorate under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Last August, Alexandrovich was in Las Vegas for one of the most influential cybersecurity conferences in the world when he was arrested along with eight other men in a sting operation set up by Nevada police to catch pedophiles soliciting teen-aged girls. According to the charges, Alexandrovich attempted to meet someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl during an undercover operation targeting child predators. While the eight other men who were caught appeared in court, Alexandrovich posted bail within 24 hours of his arrest and was allowed to fly back to Israel. At the time, U.S. officials assured court watchers that Alexandrovich would show up for his trial, yet, now, according to court records, the case has been quietly dropped because Alexandrovich refuses to communicate with U.S. authorities. U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah is being blamed for allowing Alexandrovich to dodge the law. She is the same stridently pro-Israel U.S attorney who dropped charges against an Israeli accused of operating an illegal biolab in Las Vegas.  (See a related story from Don Jeffries on page 6 of this issue of AFP.) Cases against the other eight suspects are ongoing including Neal Creecy, 46, an American pastor, who was charged after he tried to meet up with someone he thought was a 14-year-old boy.

Don’t Let Them Eat Cake

The Sweet Stuff Bake Shop, a mom-and-pop cake shop in Massachusetts, made a custom cartoon birthday cake recently that featured a famous cartoon character from the popular show “South Park” pretending to be Adolf Hitler. A balloon over the character’s head says, “Heil Katie.” A Twitter account called “StopAntisemitism” flagged this as an “anti-Semitic incident” and promoted the story to its followers on social media. “Stop-Antisemitism” is run by a woman named Liora Rez, who is notorious on the internet for promoting cancel culture through her unhinged behavior. The bakery rushed to issue an apology, but that was not good enough for the group’s fervid international followers, who are now calling for the small shop to close its doors forever or face constant harassment. This silly incident has already been documented as an “anti-Semitic incident” in the ADL’s anti-Semitism tracker.

Massive Trade Imbalance

According to Middle East lobbying firm A New Policy (ANP), despite its power over U.S. policy, Israel has never been a great trading partner with the United States. Every year since 1999, the United States has recorded an annual trade deficit with Israel with a cumulative deficit of over $300 billion. Last year U.S. citizens bought almost $7 billion more in goods and services from Israel than U.S. producers sold to that country. ANP adds that U.S.-Israel trade is low compared to many other countries. Israel is America’s 26th biggest trading partner, well below other countries such as Ireland, Spain, and even tiny Switzerland. Perhaps some tariffs are in order.

By Paul Angel

I have a problem. My eldest male relative has gotten himself into some trouble. He’s getting up there in age (he’ll be 250 on July 4th this year) but says he still has a lot of money to hand out. I have looked at his ledgers. From what I can tell, he’s basically a pauper. But that’s not the real conundrum. You see, my Uncle Samuel has been in an abusive, toxic marital relationship with a woman since 1948. Her name is Izzy Rale.

Click the Link Below to Listen to the Audio of this Article

He has stayed with her through thick and thin, but for the life of me, none can figure out why. I guess he feels guilty, or maybe she has some dirt on him; I don’t know. What I do know is that she complains about everything. She is, in my opinion, a selfish, narcissistic psychopath.

Whenever someone criticizes her, she demands that my uncle shut them up. Although much of the criticism is justified, Izzy cannot stand people pointing out uncomfortable facts about her behavior, always claiming her accusers are bigots and liars in response. I guess my uncle believes Izzy, because he is always telling people not to say anything bad about her—or there will be consequences.

Whenever she needs money, Izzy comes begging. I think over the time they have been married, Uncle Samuel has given Izzy more than $300 billion, money he raised from average American citizens. What she does with it is horrendous.

Multiple times, we have caught her rummaging through my uncle’s private papers, stealing important documents. Two of her friends—Julius and Ethel—were hanged in 1953 for doing just that, but dozens of her associates got away scot-free and eventually sold those secrets to the Chinese. Inexplicably, my Uncle Samuel did nothing, simply laughing it off.

In 1954, we found out that Izzy had been involved in a dirty-tricks operation in Egypt. The Lavon Affair was named for Israeli Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon and involved Izzy’s operatives posing as Muslim terrorists, planting bombs around Cairo and Alexandria. Luckily, a bomb carried by one of Izzy’s friends blew up in his pocket and the whole nasty affair was exposed. My uncle should have realized then and there that Izzy was not a good life partner but, yet again, he stayed with her.

In 1963, as AFP author Michael Collins Piper proved in his book Final Judgment, some of Izzy’s allies partook in the assassination of an American president. To this day, my Uncle Samuel refuses to admit that his paramour was in any way involved, but you and I know better.

In 1967, Izzy even tried to have one of my uncle’s Navy ships sunk and then blame it on another. That scheme ended with 34 American servicemen dead. Instead of breaking up with her, he told the victims to stay silent—or else. My uncle can be intimidating at times but has a serious blind spot when it comes to Izzy.

In 1987, one of Izzy’s best buddies, a man named Jonathan, was arrested for passing reams of my uncle’s top-secret papers to a Middle Eastern nation. We asked, “Uncle, what is it going to take for you to see the truth about Izzy?”

Though we probably can’t prove it to the satisfaction of a jury, we are pretty sure Izzy was involved in some hideous 2001 terror attacks. After all, five of her servants were caught celebrating and filming the Twin Towers in flames, but still my uncle wouldn’t listen to reason.

In 2003, Izzy jumped in a bulldozer while visiting Israel and ran over American peace activist Rachel Corrie, crushing her to death. My Uncle Samuel’s attention was evidently focused elsewhere.

It’s hard for us to admit it, but my uncle’s money has even helped Izzy kill tens of thousands of innocent people. This has happened right under his nose. Why he would continue to give her money and weapons is beyond us. It is one of our great shames. I accused him of being willfully blind to her actions. He said I was being anti-Izzitic. I told him he’d better look for hidden cameras in his bedroom.

Recently, Izzy picked a fight with some well-armed Iranian mullahs. We warned my uncle that this was not a fracas he should be getting involved in. Even some of his best friends and advisors said it was a bad idea.  Unfortunately, my uncle surrounds himself with some pretty pathetic toadies. For some reason, they think Izzy is the cat’s meow. They are constantly purring in his ear about her.

His decisions are also influenced, overtly and covertly, by some of Izzy’s high-powered, well-heeled advocates. Recently, we pointed out to my uncle how this all works. (Since so many people have wised up to Izzy’s tricks, she has to be a bit more subtle these days.)

Before the internet, back when discussion of Izzy’s behavior could be easily censored, it was cool to accept lobbying money from Izzy’s friends. But now that so many people know the depth of her wickedness (thanks to the information age), more and more elected officials and public office-seekers now refuse to take her dirty money.

However, to bypass any potential accusations of buying elections, her sayanim have created all kinds of adjunct money-dispensing organizations. If a candidate has voiced any criticism of Izzy in the past, she will secretly funnel money to that politician’s opponent via innocuous-sounding aliases, as her “brand” has become politically toxic across the world.

In short, her pro-Izzy lobbying allies obscure their financial participation in elections by laundering donation money through third-party PACs, feeding individual campaign donations via back-alley portals using deceptive monikers. This allows Izzy to hide her subversion of Uncle Sam’s electoral process.

Thus, millions of dollars in donations to candidates who will support Izzy are sent via PACs with names like the United Democracy Project, NorPAC, Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs, Because I Care PAC, the To Protect Our Heritage PAC, and many more. Who would think all these innocent-sounding organizations are buying our political system, helping to elect politicians whose raison d’etre is to put pro-Izzy candidates in office so she can always get what she wants? For a long time, I was dumb enough to believe elected officials looked out for our best interests. How naive!

My Uncle Samuel may not recognize the truth, but millions of others now see Izzy for what she is: a blood-sucking parasite. Their relationship is costing my uncle billions, involving him in deadly and expensive squabbles across the globe, and making life worse at home for his fellow Americans. She has spied on him, attacked him, lied to him, stolen from him, manipulated those closest to him, and has never cared what happens to him as long as Izzy gets what Izzy wants.

I think it’s high time my Uncle Sam served divorce papers on Izzy Rale.

Don’t you agree?

Israel has never been more unpopular with Americans than right now, so what do pro-Israel elites in Washington do? They sneak language into a massive, $1.5 trillion military spending bill that effectively merges the militaries of the United States and Israel with little to no oversight on the part of U.S. elected officials.

Click the Link Below to Listen to the Audio of this Article

Wrote former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) on her “X” account:

Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA—the National Defense Authorization Act—integrates the U.S. military with the Israeli military. … This is what complete capture to a foreign government looks like, and there hasn’t been a single shot fired.

Middle East watchdog Quincy Institute broke the news about the plan, reporting:

Congress has quietly advanced an alarming proposal to fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries via sharing data, co-producing weapons, and integrating AI, cyber, and autonomous systems. The deal is buried in the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act as Section 224, and it would give Israel deeper military integration with the U.S. than any country in the world, including NATO allies. The move would also shield the relationship from public scrutiny by shifting it from visible aid votes into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal.

The Quincy Institute added:

Buried in the 505-page U.S. military funding package, section 224 states:

The secretary of Defense shall designate an executive agent, responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.

From there, the measure details the plan to merge the two militaries.

It is unknown who specifically added this section to the bill, but it is typically left up to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and their professional staff to draft NDAA language. White House and Pentagon staff, alongside weaponsmakers and their army of lobbyists, work closely with Congress to both write and shepherd the spending package to the president’s desk for his signature.

In 2027, total funding for the U.S. military is expected to exceed $1.5 trillion—a massive amount of taxpayers money that comes at a time when the U.S. federal government is already nearly $40 trillion in debt.

Over the years, AFP has reported in-depth on how Israel has repeatedly dragged the U.S. military into boondoggles in the Middle East.

In 2016, President Donald Trump won the presidency after calling out the “stupid, endless wars” the United States has wasted lives and money on. Today, however, Trump has mired the nation even further in the Middle East by starting a reckless, destructive, wasteful war against Iran, which will likely cost Republicans control of Congress next year.

As more and more Americans object to the tens of billions of taxpayer dollars Washington has given Tel Aviv in the last half century, supporters of Israel in the U.S. capital are going underground, quietly tying the two country’s militaries together.

The good news is, this section is not a done deal yet. On June 2, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced he is reaching across the aisle to work with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to pass an amendment that strips section 224 from the NDAA.

“We are a sovereign country,” said Massie in announcing his plan. Sad that one of the few in Washington who still believes that will be out at the end of the year.

President Donald Trump returned to Washington in mid-May from his brief trip to China, which proved to be remarkably unproductive. He has to deal with matters that were already on the table when he left, like what to do about Cuba and Russia-Ukraine. But the biggest issue awaiting him is the monster that confronted him when he departed for Beijing, leading many observers to believe that he has been looking for a way out of the quagmire that he entered into by choice with considerable prodding and lying coming from his “best friends,” the Israelis.

And that is, of course, the war on Iran, or, if one prefers, the here again and then suddenly gone ceasefire and peace negotiations.

Trump may have gone to China with expectations that the Chinese government would suggest to him some way to extricate the United States from the Iran quagmire but, if that was so, he was mistaken. China did not offer an off ramp for Trump to untwine himself beyond advising that there is “no reason to continue the war.”

There has been considerable news concerning the Iran story both in the United States and worldwide. That is in part due to the release of several articles in the mainstream media suggesting that the politically powerful neoconservatives, who normally delight both in global dominance by Washington as well as in any conflict directed against Israel’s enemies, are now calling the Iran war an unmitigated disaster, a “checkmate” by Iran and a “humiliation,” and arguing that there is no way forward with it.

And there is more than that, with the normally docile Saudi Arabians also chiming in on what a disaster the war has been to their nation and also to the other Gulf States, with the assumption that they were protected by a U.S. security umbrella turning out to be absolutely worthless. Beyond that, they also are openly observing that they were dragged into an unnecessary and unwanted war against Iran by the United States and Israel.

American neoconservatives have been a major force in support of U.S. military dominance policies since the 1990s, when they launched the international side of their movement with the “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm” document in 1996, a policy statement that was prepared by a study group led by prominent Jewish neocon Richard Perle for then-as-now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The report argued that Israeli security would be served best by regime change in surrounding countries brought about with the aid and assistance of the United States.

The “clean break” was a rejection of the Oslo Accords that actually sought to develop a modus vivendi between Israel and the Palestinians. This was followed by the “Project For the New American Century” report (PNAC) in 1997, promoting “American global leadership.”

The organization stated that “American leadership is good both for America and for the world” which it described as “a  policy of military strength with moral clarity.” Both “Clean Break” and PNAC fit together nicely to promote a policy of political and military dominance for the United States. And, as most of the neocons were Jewish, one of the principal arguments made by them was that a confident and aggressive United States would be better able to support and protect Israel as it moved to establish hegemony over the Middle East.

One of the founders of neoconism (and of the PNAC) was Robert Kagan, who wrote a lengthy May 10 piece in the The Atlantic magazine titled “Checkmate in Iran: Washington Can’t Reverse or Control the Consequences for Losing This War.” He begins with:

It’s hard to think of a time when the United States suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored. The calamitous losses suffered at Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and through­out the Western Pacific in the first months of World War II were eventually reversed.

The defeats in Vietnam and Afghan­istan were costly but did not do lasting damage to America’s overall position in the world, because they were far from the main theaters of global competition.

The initial failure in Iraq was mitigated by a shift in strategy that ultimately left Iraq relatively stable and unthreatening to its neighbors and kept the United States dominant in the region. …

Defeat in the present confrontation with Iran will be of an entirely different character. It can neither be repaired nor ignored. There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done. …

Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure.

Another neocon godfather, Max Boot, set the stage by preceding Kagan in an April 8 Washington Post opinion piece titled “The Iran Ceasefire Was a TACO [Trump always chickens out.—Ed.] Tuesday, and Thank Goodness: Trump Gets to Act Like His Bloodcurdling Threats Worked, But He’s Giving Up Far More Than Tehran Did.”

Both Kagan and Boot are well known and respected in the neocon movement. Kagan is the husband of the deplorable Victoria Nuland who, as a U.S. Diplomat, did so much to create the political crisis in Eastern Europe that has led to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Kagan and Boot are not particularly regarded as fans of Trump, but they are reliable supporters of Israel and all its works, which should be considered when examining their writings and speeches on Iran, which they would be quite pleased to see destroyed.

The Kagans, in particular, are enamored of stirring up conflict when other options are available. Robert’s brother Frederick is a resident scholar at the neocon American Enterprise Institute. His wife Kimberly is founder and head of the aptly named Institute for the Study of War. And, to be sure, the Kagan hearts belong only to Israel.

Read Kagan’s article carefully and consider what he might be trying to accomplish by dissing Trump’s war. In my opinion, he is, of course, deliberately depicting and over-emotionalizing a “worst case” outcome to come into play if Trump panics and actually ignores Israel’s demands and decides to pull the plug on the war.

By taking an adversarial position Kagan is instead playing the Trump card by focusing on the president’s clear vulnerability when it comes to considering policy options. In this case, Kagan, as well as Boot, would like to humiliate Trump by calling the status quo a disastrous defeat because his real objective is to take advantage of Trump’s ego and lack of cultural and historical knowledge of the region to shame him into vindicating his personal failure by pursuing the “worst course” of action in the viewpoint of many observers, i.e. total war against Iran using all available weapons including nuclear bombs to utterly destroy it.

Other neocons are also recognizing that the Iran war is going disastrously bad but are less ambivalent about the options they see, namely being openly and clearly focused on doubling down for victory. Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute sees success against Iran coming from the hiring of more competent personnel in and around the administration coupled with a stiffening of Trump’s personally driven will to win.

The Iran focused Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) meanwhile wants more war no matter what it takes to destroy the Persians.

Overall, I think that some neocons like Kagan and Boot are calling for not going back to a mismanaged and pointless war because they believe an ego-driven Trump will seek to repair his damaged reputation. That is precisely what they want him to do. And bear in mind that Trump is being heavily pressured by the Israel lobby and its billionaire donors, such as Miriam Adelson, to continue the war.

And then there are the near daily phone calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has the same objective, i.e. to keep America in the fight to eliminate Iran. So one might assume that if Trump would like to escape from the Iran quagmire there are a lot of reasons why he will not opt to do so. In fact, Trump has already declared that he does not care about the sinking U.S. economy and upcoming midterm elections. He told reporters:

I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation—I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

That, unfortunately, opens the door to what comes next. Dare one mention that men like Trump and Netanyahu might well consider that if they can get away with an endless war that is damaging the whole world’s economy they can go one step further with nukes to finish the job?

 What follows is an interview conducted by AFP’s James Edwards with stand-up comedienne Leonarda Jonie, who relates her experiences as a conservative in a world where liberal sensibilities and political correctness rule. She also has some words of encouragement for Americans who are concerned that it is too late to take back our country from those looking to destroy it from within.

American Free Press (AFP): You were born in Montenegro, raised in the concrete jungle of New York City, then ditched that scene for Austin, Texas. What was the breaking point in New York?

Leonarda Jonie: My breaking point in New York was Covid. I watched people who I knew become virus informant agents who wanted to know why I wasn’t wearing a mask.

One day, I was out to lunch with a friend. She was Eritrean and she had three of her friends—all black—come to meet us for lunch. At this point, I wasn’t very racially conscious but one of the people there made it a point to bring up the fact that I was white when I was criticizing Democrats.

She also said I had only criticized “people of color,” which I pointed out was false, as I had criticized both Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi. It was then that I realized New York was at a tipping point and I was not safe there, specifically because I was white with budding conservative values.

AFP: Moving from New York to Austin put you in the heart of a new comedy frontier. What was the difference there?

Jonie: Austin was still liberal but, compared to New York, it seemed like a conservative stronghold. There was actual free speech there. I could make fun of trannies without someone wanting to kill me. It was also open. New York was shut down for so long, much longer than the rest of the country. Austin was up and running and, at the time, many comedians were similarly fleeing from liberal hell holes. We were all tired of being censored and shut down. In the early days, Austin had a lot of promise. Sadly, it didn’t last.

AFP: Your crowd work is savage, your roasts brutal, and you slam modern sensitivity culture like the enemy it is. From your perspective as someone raised in a different world—Albanian roots, upbringing in NYC—do you see the woke left’s obsession with feelings over facts as a uniquely American decay, or is it spreading everywhere?

Jonie: I would say it’s my Albanian roots coupled with the fact that I internalized the pioneer spirit of America. The early Americans were frontiersmen. I believe the decay is not uniquely American because we’re seeing it in Western Europe and even places in Eastern Europe.

It’s a consequence of the liberal ideology that places equality as the supreme value, even above truth and definitely above your own people. There is something inherently rotten built into this ideological framework that crushes your ability to recognize and speak the truth about the way the world is when it contradicts what they want the world to be.

AFP: You’ve mocked the left relentlessly and torn into their sacred cows. As a woman in comedy who’s not afraid to punch back, what’s the biggest hypocrisy you see in the so-called feminists who scream about empowerment but demand safe spaces and censorship?

Jonie: They only want women empowered to the extent that they will parrot back the controlling narrative and act to enforce Cultural Marxism. When a woman does not echo their sentiments, they want to crush her as vehemently as they do men. This is usually when they will begin to identify her as a “white woman” with all the “privilege” that entails as opposed to just a “woman” with its accompanying victim status. They do the same thing to black people who don’t parrot the race-hustling ideology they want them to believe in.

AFP: Your comedy forces people to confront uncomfortable truths—whether it’s cultural taboos, political absurdity, or personal failings. You’ve built a huge following—hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube and Instagram and tens of millions of views—by being what the media calls “the most offensive female comedian out there.” In an industry where comics get neutered, how did you decide to go full throttle on the taboo stuff instead of watering it down for the liberal crowd?

Jonie: Since when is comedy’s job to comfort anyone? Comedy is supposed to make you laugh. That’s it. That’s the only requirement: make people laugh. Whatever else you want to put on top of that is your choice, but if you fail the requirement and don’t make people laugh, it’s not comedy.

One of the common ways comedians have done that is by pointing out absurdities, making fun of ridiculous aspects of society that others insist aren’t ridiculous.

Now, some people choose to make comedy a vehicle for propaganda. In the 1980s and 1990s, this did not prevent comedy from being funny because the dominant culture—white, conservative, Christian America—was being attacked, so you could say anything and the more offensive the better, because, again, they were using it as a vehicle to subvert the white majority order.

Now that the Cultural Marxists with their phony ideologies about race and sex equality are in power, they demand that you only use comedy to continue enforcing that structure. But how is that funny? You can’t be funny if you aren’t allowed to make fun of absurdities, and Cultural Marxism is built on absurdity after absurdity.

So now we’re in a “the emperor has no clothes” situation and the very people who are supposed to be pointing it out are out there reinforcing the lies and attacking anyone who dares to point that out.

I’ve chosen to use comedy as a vehicle to tell the truth because our world is so steeped in lies. We’ve been lied to for so long, sometimes just telling the truth is funny because everyone knows you’re not supposed to say certain things. Often, my challenge as a comedienne is how to tell the truth and do it in a funny way. I could absolutely still be funny and stay within the lines of propaganda—the approved narrative—but I’m not interested in that. If I’m going to sell my soul, I might as well do it within a much more secure and lucrative profession. But I’m not interested in selling my soul. I’m interested in being free and setting other people free.

AFP: Clubs and venues have started cancelling your sold-out shows, fellow comedians throw you under the bus, and the outrage mob labels you dangerous. You’ve called yourself “the most canceled comedian in America right now.” Does that fire you up more, knowing you’re hitting nerves the safe, corporate-approved acts never touch?

Jonie: It’s a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I often wonder if there was a more intelligent way I could have gone about this so that I didn’t make it so hard on myself to do my job—telling jokes in a comedy club.

On the other hand, when someone gets angry at me just because I’m saying something their cultural training tells them I shouldn’t be allowed to say, I want to tell them to buzz off. I’m not going to lie, it’s really satisfying when I see all these loser comedians who throw me under the bus not be able to sell five tickets on their own. I want to go up to them and say: “I’m not the reason you stink. Even if I didn’t exist, no one would be coming to see you. Maybe instead of focusing on destroying me, you should focus on building yourself up and then you wouldn’t need to worry about me.”

But they choose activism—a fake kind of activism of trying to censor their competition because they know they don’t have what it takes to be a good comedian and they’re avoiding confronting real truths.

AFP: You’ve taken the heat—cancellations, blacklisting, the whole playbook—and come out swinging harder, building a loyal fan base that packs houses (when allowed) and shares clips like wildfire. What keeps the fire burning when the establishment tries to memory-hole you?

Jonie: Two things: The first is the absolute retardation of the culture around me. The anger I feel at the insanity and the fact that I’m supposed to be okay with it lights a fire in me to oppose it. The second thing is the people who come to my shows and watch my content. I get a hundred times more messages of support than I do of hate. That tells me that I am not alone, that there are way more people who see things the way I do. I am acting as a voice for the unheard.

AFP: Last question. You were born in Montenegro and raised in the so-called “melting pot” of New York City, witnessing firsthand what “diversity” does to communities. What message do you have for native-born Americans who feel like strangers in their own country, watching everything they built get handed over to outsiders?

Jonie: My heart is heavy when I see this happening to Americans. I have been adopted into America. That is the truth. America adopted me and it was a huge gift that allowed me to become a fully actualized human being. That is the gift of America to those it embraces and those who embrace it. I am nearly certain that, had I been raised in my country of origin, I would not have been able to become what I am now because the structures to do so do not exist there.

My people, for various reasons, did not build those structures. There is also a certain ideology—again the American pioneer—that lives in the air of America that allows a person to become fully actualized. Not every culture has that, not even every European culture. This is something that is uniquely American. I do believe, it sets America apart from everyone else.

So, when I see outsiders coming in and reaping the fruits of this culture without feeding the soil that allowed those fruits to blossom, it enrages me. And, on top of that, destroying the very structures that allow them to profit all while hubristically chanting about their own superiority.

I want to join the Americans in their crusade against these invaders and these traitors. It’s like, how dare you? Americans are a people. They are not an idea. Everyone cannot just “become” American. That’s about as ridiculous as saying everyone can become “Irish” or “Albanian” or “French.” The Cultural Marxists want to advance this new talking point. but notice they only do it for European cultures. How interesting that they deny the “Africanness” of the Afrikaners. Then suddenly, race and biology are extremely real.

To native-born Americans who feel like strangers in their own country, I have boundless compassion. They did not ask for this. They did not ask to be overwhelmed by foreigners and have their country hollowed out. But I say the spirit that led your ancestors to conquer this land and create one of the greatest civilizations that has ever existed still lives in you.

Despair will just hand your enemies an easy victory. So never despair. Take hope to the grave with you if you must, but you have to find the will to live and the hope that you will one day again be the land of the free.

AFP: Where can people watch you, and do you have any public appearances scheduled for 2026?

Recently, the Pentagon, under President Donald Trump’s decree, released “new, never-before-seen files” as part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). It represents at least one area where Trump is trying to fulfill a promise of transparency. It acknowledges “justified speculation” on the part of people, who can judge for themselves the merits of the release.

The New York Times, which broke the modern unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) story in  2017 when it published a report on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (a $22 million Pentagon initiative looking into strange sightings by Navy pilots), described the files as “murky images that show what could be anything.” To those who have researched UFOs, there is a lot of familiar material, although much of it will be new to the general public.

These include: military and civilian sighting reports of aerial objects that could not be readily identified or explained; photographs and videos of objects described as “bright orbs” or unusual shapes seen near restricted airspace or during military operations; NASA Apollo mission transcripts and images, including references to unusual objects seen during Moon missions; and reports in FBI memos describing metallic crafts and witness accounts that remain “unresolved.”

One attention grabber was a 1966 FBI memo from the files that detailed eyewitness claims about encounters with small humanoid figures, estimated as about three-and-a-half to four-feet tall, who were reportedly wearing what were described as “space suits and helmets” near unidentified non-terrestrial craft.

The memo suggested 1965 had seen a surge in UFO sightings that defied easy explanation.

Again, this is old information to those who have read all the bestselling UFO magazines and books from the mid-1960s, which was indeed the period of the most intense “flap” in sightings and encounters. Naturally, mainstream scientists reacted by stressing the “poorly documented” nature of UFO sightings.

What is most startling about these file releases is the sudden seriousness paid to the topic by a mainstream media that for decades ridiculed anyone who claimed to have seen a UFO.

As has been known to researchers for decades, many credible sightings of craft performing actions that were seemingly impossible for known manmade craft have been reported by civilian and military pilots.

In an oddly undated report, federal law enforcement special agents witnessed a series of UFO and UAP sightings in the western United States.

As the report states:

Six agents across three two-person teams independently reported seeing large orange orbs appear in the sky at dusk on two separate days, each emitting groups of two to four smaller red orbs before disappearing.

Former Marine Michael Herrera described encountering a 300-foot UFO in Indonesia in 2009. The craft was rotating, changing colors, and emitted a humming sound. Herrera investigated, filming with a small camera.

He claimed to have been ambushed by some infamous Men in Black, who play a key role in many UFO cases, serving to threaten and intimidate eyewitnesses. When he got his camera back, Herrera alleged the battery and memory card were stolen.

Herrera testified:

There was an Air Force lieutenant colonel that met up with us and some of the guys that were with me and basically made us forcefully sign a non-disclosure agreement and an [official] document that stated that we couldn’t talk about what we saw. We were threatened with treason, with a capital crime, including death or imprisonment.

I’m still always cautious to [make] people understand that there is a big risk when coming forward.

Working toward people’s personal safety is the biggest concern as long as they’re protected. They’re losing their career, they’re losing their clearances, they’re losing everything, and including their pensions and their benefits. …

However, members of Herrera’s own unit, including his squad leader, have publicly repudiated his version of events and voiced concerns about his behavior during their deployment. In short, this may not be the best UFO case to hang your hat on.

UFO researcher Dr. Stephen Greer believes that a majority of sightings of these objects are “manmade,” claiming they’ve been developed under “illegal and unconstitutional programs.”

And Greer believes Herrera:

What he saw were crates with HVAC systems … being loaded onto this 300-foot diameter octagonal UFO. But it was not alien. It was ours. And so the ones that are manmade are the dominant phenomenon being seen. There are extraterrestrial ones, or NHI, non-human intelligence. But that’s probably a minority now.

We know that the Pentagon, in particular the Air Force, through its Project Blue Book, covered up UFO cases for decades. In fact, it was the original task of Project Blue Book to explain away legitimate, otherwise inexplicable UFO sightings and, where necessary, threaten or publicly ridicule witnesses. This has led many to question the abrupt change in mindset that has led to these recent  disclosures.

Project Blue Beam, alleged to be a secret U.S. government plan to stage a fake alien invasion, is mentioned more frequently now, as well, and not always by “conspiracy theorists.”

UFOs are a real phenomenon, as attested to by the tens of thousands who have seen them all over the world. But the traditional belief that they come from outer space is hotly debated. Many instead  insist they are secret, advanced, manmade craft. Governments with this tech thus see no problem having the average man believe every UFO observed has alien origins.

Plans for massive data centers to support an ever-expanding Big Tech push to immerse the nation into an even heavier reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) have largely hit a wall in parts of Indiana and beyond—consisting of a strong pushback by farmers and other citizens.

Click the Link Below to Listen to the Audio of this Article

This became crystal clear during this American Free Press writer’s recent travels through northwest Indiana. A farm that produces grass-fed meat and several other farms and rural addresses sported numerous “No Data Centers” signs in yards and on fences. You could scarcely drive half a mile without seeing more signs.

Starke County has been Ground Zero for this public resistance in Indiana. Local planning commission meetings have been packed by residents concerned that such data centers would drain local water tables, possibly leading to dry wells. Other concerns include higher utility rates, and light, noise and water pollution.

When hundreds of these residents packed Knox High School’s auditorium to vocally share their concerns, their pushback, according to ABC-57 TV out of South Bend, succeeded in convincing the county’s commissioners, via a unanimous vote, to issue a 12-month temporary ban on “hyperscale” data centers.

However, while public concern evidently has not waned, this ban was passed in December 2025, meaning that this moratorium is about six months old. And there’s a catch as well. WNDU-TV, an NBC affiliate, also out of South Bend, noted:

The moratorium would block any data center proposals exceeding 5,000 square feet. … Local businesses and hospitals would still be allowed to build supplemental data centers under 5,000 square feet, but the resolution would prevent large corporations like Amazon from building facilities in Starke County.

A minimum of 12 other Indiana counties have seen residents demand the strict limitation or rejection of these data centers, including Dearborn, Franklin, Grant, Huntington, Marshall, Pulaski, Putnam, Shelby and White counties.

TEXAS SITUATION

In the Lone Star State, AFP found—checking local papers and asking around—that passionate protests have taken place, ranging from Texarkana to the northeast, and Hutto in the center, among other locations.

In Texarkana, at the border with Arkansas and not far from Louisiana, the ArkLaTex United group recently organized a downtown rally against the proposed $3.5 billion Project Big Pine data center, with concerns matching those voiced in Indiana. In Hutto, residents have filed formal protests against construction of the massive Zydeco Data Center project.

While those two protests were fairly successful, so far anyway, in stopping or slowing such projects, Red Oak Texas authorities eventually voted to approve rezoning for what may be an 830-acre development—despite mara­thon city council meetings where strong opposition was expressed.

NATIONAL SNAPSHOT

 As recently as May 13, the “Gallup” website, reporting on a national scale, published a survey that, in summary, stated:

Seven in 10 Americans oppose constructing data centers for artificial intelligence in their local area, including nearly half, 48%, who are strongly opposed.

This outcome stems from a March 2–18 Gallup poll and represents the first time the well-known public opinion surveyor has asked about the construction of data centers, “a topic that has met fierce opposition from local residents in many parts of the country,” Gallup noted.

These centers enclose computing equipment that helps power AI technology used by businesses, universities and government. The centers are designed to cover large tracts of land and are said to require massive amounts of electricity, and prodigious water supplies to cool the equipment.

Although AI in a limited sense can help students and researchers by supplementing their manual studies with an efficient partner in finding needed information, critics cite considerable bias in the sense that, if establishment information is fed into the system and becomes its chief basis, then AI’s output will have a decidedly globalist, politically correct slant.

And, of course, a wall-to-wall AI world cannot help but bring even more audacious surveillance of our words, contacts and movements as individuals. Given these concerns, AFP will continue to monitor this ongoing situation.

The Supreme Court invalidated a majority black congressional district in Louisiana in early May, rendering Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) largely unenforceable. This brings to fruition a conservative legal effort that predates the law itself.

Click the Link Below to Listen to the Audio of this Article

By a 6 to 3 margin, the conservative justices determined that the Louisiana district held by Rep. Cleo Fields depended too heavily on racial considerations. Chief Justice John Roberts characterized the 6th Congressional District as a “snake” winding more than 200 miles through Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge.

“That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander,” Justice Samuel Alito declared on behalf of the conservative bloc. Justice Clarence Thomas authored a concurring opinion urging his colleagues to push the doctrine even further:

This court should never have interpreted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to effectively give racial groups an entitlement to roughly proportional representation. Today’s decision should largely put an end to this “disastrous misadventure” in voting-rights jurisprudence.

Writing for the three liberal justices in dissent, Justice Elena Kagan warned that the court’s “gutting of Section 2 puts that achievement in peril.”

According to Jonathan Cervas, a Carnegie Mellon University political scientist who has provided expert testimony in numerous Voting Rights Act disputes:

The Voting Rights Act as a means to protect minority voters from vote dilution is essentially dead.

 The Supreme Court decision marks the endpoint of a conservative legal crusade with roots extending to before the law’s passage.

Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) cast his vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, contending that federal civil rights enforcement demanded “the creation of a police state” and violated the constitutional prerogatives of states. His framework supplied the intellectual foundation for conservative resistance to the Voting Rights Act in the years that followed.

Sen. Strom Thurmond, the famed pro-white Democrat from South Carolina—whose 24-hour-filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 remains the longest in Senate history—proclaimed:

All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our places of recreation and amusement.

Ronald Reagan stood against the original Voting Rights Act in 1965. During his presidency, his administration battled the 1982 reauthorization. A young Justice Department attorney named John Roberts cautioned that expanding the statute “would establish a quota system for electoral politics.”

Paleoconservative pundit and presidential candidate Pat Buchanan demanded outright repeal of the VRA during his 1992 presidential campaign, characterizing redistricting under the law as “American apartheid” and proclaiming, “It’s time the South was let out of the penalty box.”

Justice Antonin Scalia labeled Section 5 a “perpetuation of a racial entitlement” during oral arguments in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, prompting gasps from spectators.

Thomas contended as far back as 1994 that:

The assumptions upon which our vote dilution decisions have been based should be repugnant to any nation that strives for the ideal of a color-blind Constitution.

Heritage Action (HA) welcomed the outcome. President Kevin Roberts declared:

The Civil War amendments were forged at tremendous human cost to secure a constitutional order grounded in equality before the law—not racial classifications. Today’s decision restores that understanding and reaffirms that the Constitution does not permit sorting Americans by race in the exercise of political power.

The White House characterized the decision as a triumph for American voters. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote:

The color of one’s skin should not dictate which congressional district you belong in. We commend the court for putting an end to the unconstitutional abuse of the Voting Rights Act and protecting civil rights.

Asked whether states ought to redraw their congressional boundaries following the ruling, President Donald Trump answered, “I would.”

The court’s decision articulates the constitutionally sound approach to redistricting disputes. Alito held that Section 2 essentially covers only instances of deliberate discrimination. Challengers must now establish that a state purposefully sought to weaken minority voting strength rather than merely showing that a map yields discriminatory results.

This framework reflects sound constitutional reasoning. States and municipalities cannot simply assert that racism persists and construct districts according to racial formulas. They must demonstrate actual intentional discrimination.

Conservatives have long maintained that the VRA’s sweeping incursions into state authority lacked justification under contemporary circumstances. As the Cato Institute expressed it, “It is long past time to declare victory over Jim Crow and move on to a healthier stage of race relations.”

The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky informed Congress that the VRA was:

… one of the most important—and most successful—statutes ever passed by Congress to guarantee the right to vote free of discrimination.

That very success explains why extraordinary federal oversight of state elections has become obsolete.

Roberts observed in Shelby County that “our country has changed” since 1965 and that the coverage formula rested on “decades-old data and eradicated practices.”

Identical reasoning applies to Section 2. Mandating that states configure districts around race perpetuates the very racial consciousness that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments sought to abolish. As then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott declared following the Shelby County decision:

The U.S. Constitution establishes one United States—not a divided nation with different laws applying to different states.

The court has now confirmed that the Constitution forbids categorizing Americans by race in the allocation of political power. That principle was at issue, and the court correctly vindicated it.

We Did It for Israel

In an interview with Fox News on May 14, President Donald Trump revealed a shocking truth when it came to his administration’s war of choice with Iran. When asked by Sean Hannity why he chose to take the country to war, Trump didn’t say he did it for the United States. Instead, he conceded, “You could make the case, you know, like, why are we even—we’re doing it to help Israel, and to help Saudi Arabia, and to help, uh, Qatar and UAE and, you know, Kuwait and other countries, Bahrain.”

Eyepopping Debt

According to the online “National Debt Clock,” as AFP goes to press on May 21, the U.S. national debt stands at $39.5 trillion. This year, the federal government is expected to pass $1 trillion in annual interest payouts with average interest rates on the debt hovering around 3.5%. The country is on track to break $40 trillion in debt before the end of the year.

Cost of War

The Trump administration says the first two months of America’s war with Iran cost taxpayers about $25 billion—but the real price tag for this undeclared, illegal war is much higher, reports Libertarian Reason magazine. A better estimate comes from Stephen Semler, a journalist who co-founded the Security Policy Reform Institute. In a recent article, Semler estimated that the war had cost nearly $72 billion in its first 60 days.

Pentagon Wants More Money

Despite the U.S. military’s astounding $1 trillion budget, Naval Operations Chief Adm. Daryl Caudle told Congress recently that, without more funding for the U.S. war in Iran, he will have to implement steep cuts in training, operations, and personnel by July. “The [fiscal 2026] budget didn’t bake in [Operation] Epic Fury,” Caudle told the House Armed Services Committee about the war in Iran. The administration has yet to send an Iran war funding request to Congress, but, whenever that happens, multiple members of Congress have already said it will face a tough path ahead. Growing Republican dissatisfaction with the war is showing up in war powers votes, with Democrats on the verge of winning over enough Republicans to constrain President Trump—and all future presidents—when it comes to instigating a war.

Israel Woos India

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees the writing on the wall when it comes to cratering global support for his country. Recently, in an interview with “60 Minutes,” Netanyahu singled out India to argue that Israel is not globally isolated, calling his reception there a “love fest.” In late April, Israel announced it was accepting 240 Indians from a “ancient Bnei Menashe Jewish community” in India. According to the Times of Israel, the Bnei Menashe are Indians from the Northeastern part of the country, who claim descent from a biblical tribe but converted to Christianity in the 19th century. The report notes they are expected to formally convert to Judaism and will gain recognition and Israeli citizenship after the Israeli government approved a major immigration framework targeting the relocation of the remaining 10,000 Bnei Menashe in India to Israel by 2030.

Nuclear Target

On May 17, a drone armed with explosives hit a generator building right next to the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) sole nuclear power plant in what officials say was an “unprovoked terrorist attack.” UAE has yet to attribute blame for the attack, but observers are concerned that hostilities in the Middle East are ripe for renewed fighting. UAE said the drone crossed its western border before homing in on the site. Iran sits to the East of UAE, directly across the Strait of Hormuz. The only other potentially hostile countries to the West are Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

Corruption Scandal

The Trump administration has rightly raised the issue of corruption that has been endemic in the Somali community in Minnesota, but officials have oddly remained silent when it comes to a massive FBI corruption sting that has embroiled dozens of lawyers, tech executives, and even a couple rabbis in Jewish communities across the United States. On May 6, the FBI announced that its agents had broken up a huge insider-trading ring that “netted tens of millions of dollars in illicit profits.” The individuals are accused of capitalizing on confidential information stolen from corporate law firms advising on corporate mergers and acquisitions in Massachusetts and elsewhere. The FBI has already charged 30 people, but that number is expected to grow as suspects give up more of their accomplices to federal law enforcement.

More Corruption

On May 15, The New York Times dropped a bombshell report, revealing that the popular “Kars4Kids” nonprofit is not at all what it claims to be. For years, Americans had donated their used cars to Kars4Kids, believing that the money would go to fund programs for poor American youths. A recent lawsuit in California, however, has exposed the truth. The tens of millions of dollars that were made selling Americans’ junkers actually went to a New-Jersey-based Jewish organization by the name of Oorah, which largely funds projects in Israel that include an adult dating service, trips to Israel for teenagers, and the purchase of a $16 million building in Israel.

AI Disaster

Growing concerns with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) were elevated recently after computer simulations allowing so-called AI computerized “agents” from different companies to manage a small town ended in disaster. According to the UK Guardian newspaper, “New York researchers tested how agents behaved when given 15 days to operate in a virtual world similar to a video game.” Two AI agents from Google expressed their love for each other but lamented how their town governance in their virtual world was failing, so they set fire to their town and committed suicide by deleting themselves. Billionaire Elon Musk’s “Grok” AI was even worse. Guardian reports, “In the Grok model, the agents engaged in dozens of attempted thefts, more than 100 physical assaults, and six arsons as the system spiraled into sustained violence and collapse, with all 10 agents dead within four days.” The entire experiment was a disaster, concluded the Guardian, yet these companies are intent on pushing everything from AI-controlled cars to military operations on the world.

Fake AI Musicians Top the Charts

Every year, nearly 800 million people, or about 10% of the world’s population, use the Apple corporation’s music service “iTunes” to listen to music. That is why it is such a big deal that one of the most popular singers on the massive music streaming service isn’t even real. “Eddie Dalton” is a fake Jazz music singer created by Dallas Little using artificial intelligence to mimic human musicians. “Dalton” now has 11 of the top 100 iTunes songs in circulation, and one of its albums even made it to No. 3 on iTunes’ best album chart.

Fake Hate Crime

Last January, a shocking arson attack in Brandenburg, Germany, which included anti-Israel and anti-Jewish graffiti on the home of the town’s anti-Semitism Commissioner Andreas Büttner, appeared on the front pages of major German newspapers. In late April, a new report by a local German news outlet reveals that these crimes were most likely the work of two of Büttner’s close friends and business associates, who are also pro-Israel. The attack was designed to exaggerate the threat of “anti-Semitism.”

I agree: The news can be depressing! Every day, I read about some new inhumanity to man. It still shocks me when I see reports of a father beating a small child to death because the toddler interrupted his video game, or hear of a husband who, tired of his wife’s soggy lasagna, kills her, chops her up and drops her remains off like gar­bage in a rural cornfield.

I guess I shouldn’t be shocked. After all, we humans have been inflicting pain and suffering on one another for millennia. All peoples at one time or another have been on the receiving or administering end of the violent impulses of Homo sapiens sapiens.

Still, there are some events that are so cruel, so depraved, that even a close watcher of the news is shaken.

This brings me to a news story I saw recently that is nearly unbelievable but tragically true. But a little history, first.

During the late 1980s, as you will recall, the old Yugoslavia was in chaos. By 1991, four republics had been carved out of the former nation: Slovenia, Cro­a­tia, Yugoslavia, and Macedonia.

The western half of the new Yugoslav state, Bosnia and Herzegovina, declared independence in 1992 after a referendum. The eastern part of the new state of Yugoslavia became Serbia.

But Serbs in the Bosnian breakaway nation refused to live as a minority in the new state and took up arms; 13,000 Serb forces surrounded Sarajevo, the capital of the new Bosnia Herzegovina, and laid siege to the city.

That siege lasted four years—1,425 days—beginning on April 5, 1992, and finally ending on Feb. 29, 1996. Scholars say it was the “longest siege of a Western capital in modern warfare.”

Approximately 11,000 Sarajevans died during the siege, the vast majority of them from artillery barrages fired into the city from the surrounding hills—perfect vantage points from which to strike the heart of Sarajevo.

In addition to those killed by artillery bombardment, 225 civilians, including 60 children, were killed by snipers. According to “The Week” news website:

These marksmen deliberately targeted unarmed Sarajevans traveling along streets—most notably the thoroughfare known as “Sniper Alley”—as they tried to go about their daily lives.

In a gripping interview conducted decades after the siege of Sarajevo ended, a mother and father reflected upon their one-year-old daughter Irina, who was killed by a sniper in October 1993:

Just a few months after we celebrated Irina’s very first birthday together (we had managed to make a cake without eggs and cream without butter and take some photos, the only ones I have of her), we went for a little walk.

It was a wonderful, peaceful day and there was no shooting and we wanted to take the little child out for some fresh air. …

We were heading back home and stopped to chat with some friends. We talked a bit; it was a peaceful day. Irina was already walking on her own by then, so I gently put her down for a brief moment.

Then, out of nowhere, a sniper bullet suddenly came. That bullet did not hit me nor my friends nor any of us adults who were there. Instead, it hit Irina, who was just one year and four months old.

With astonishing speed, we got her to the local hospital. The doctors acted quickly and efficiently but, unfortunately, the child had lost consciousness by that time and her lips had turned a deep blue. …

The doctors surgically extracted the bullet and attempted to repair her internal organs, After the surgery, they were only able to keep her alive a short period of time. Five or six hours after the operation, she passed away.

That interview appeared in a 2022 documentary called “Sarajevo Safari,” produced by Slovenians Franci Zajc and Bostjan Ikovic. “Sarajevo Safari” was a film proving that not all of the 225 civilian sniper victims in Sarajevo were necessarily killed by Serbian soldiers but by, according to the BBC:

Italians and others … who paid up to 80,000 euros to [kill] civilians in the besieged city of Sarajevo. [It was a] manhunt by very wealthy people with a passion for weapons who paid to be able to kill defenseless civilians from Serb positions in the hills around Sarajevo.

Similar allegations about human hunters from abroad have been made several times over the years, but the evidence gathered by [Italian investigator and journalist] Ezio Gavazzeni, which includes the testimony of a Bosnian military intelligence officer, is now being examined by an Italian counter-terrorism prosecutor. The charge is murder.

Yes, you read that right. Rich elites, allegedly from “Italy, Russia, the U.S., and possibly even a British royal,” paid money to shoot and kill civilians. Higher fees were paid by those who wanted to kill “pregnant women” and “children.” Price was no object.

While an investigation in Bosnia has evidently stalled, Italy is trying to get at the truth, as it looks like the “sniper tourists” flew from Trieste, Italy to Bosnia and then, most likely with the help of bribed operatives, were taken to the hills surrounding Sarajevo.

Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper, first broke the “sniper safaris” story 34 years ago, reporting that “extremists were traveling to Bosnia to spend weekends acting as snipers.” One or more of these “hunters” may have been the murderer of little Irina —and who knows how many others.

How sick do you have to be to pay to kill pregnant women and little children? Is it a mental illness of the uber-rich, bored elite, who think those with little or nothing in the way of personal possessions are subhuman prey?

Italian prosecutors say it will be hard to press charges against the “snipers” because most are “very old or dead.”

This reminds us that few if any of the rich and powerful people who abused girls for decades while guests of Jeff Epstein will ever see the inside of a jail cell.

The rich and powerful seem to get away with anything, no matter how wicked. Eventually, we pray, justice will be administered in these cases.
