Like it or not... the Israelis sell a lot of dangerous high tech to China.....
Israel sells its own tech....... and tech Israel gets from the US for being our “greatest ally.”

The US has criticized Israel’s persistent tech sales to China, fearing
China’s abuse of US tech will harm the safety an security of American families.

Israel sold technology to upgrade Chinese tanks and planes and also transferred or licensed the Python missile technology (leading to China’s PL-8 missile), the EL/M-2035 Doppler radar, and the Tamam inertial navigation system.

According to a new internal poll posted by Donald Trump on Truth Social
<><>Massie’s favorability rating dropped from 54 percent in June to 43 percent this month,
<><>his unfavorability rating rose to 54 percent from 40 percent.
<><>His overall job approval slipped from 52 percent to 39 percent.
<><>Massie’s falling support is pinned on a barrage of ads from MAGA Inc,
<><>a pro-Trump super PAC spent $800,000 on a recent TV campaign in Massie’s district,
<><>this followed an earlier $1 million ad buy targeting him.
<><>MAGA’s ad campaign has turned Thomas Massie’s polling numbers up-side-down,
<><>he’s been left exposed and extremely vulnerable in a Rep primary for Congress.

An investigation in the online sexual exploitation of minors, eight people were arrested, including Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, an Israeli employee of the “Israel National Cyber Directorate,” Las Vegas police said Friday.

The Israeli directorate confirmed the arrest of an employee on charges of pedophilia, and said the “employee” charged with pedophilia has gone on leave until the findings are clarified. Israeli officials emphasized that the pedophilia incident “has no political implications.”

Not known is whether the accused Israeli pedophile is paid with US tax dollars.

The accused pedophile Alexandrovich’s job consisted of
<><>working in Israeli cyber-threat intelligence
<><>and in active defense;
<><>he took part in shaping Israel’s cyber policy
<><>and in international forums;
<><>and advised various Israeli government bodies.

Is a Netanyahuu-led Israeli unit, employing an accused pedophile, financed with US tax dollars?

Prime Minister Netanyau’s Office, which is apparently financed with US tax dollars, oversees the cyber unit involved in pedophilia, said the alleged Israeli pedophile Aleksandrovich “was not arrested” for the crime of pediphilia, and returned home to Israel on schedule:

“The ‘employee’ now under charges of being a pedophile, informed the Netanyahu unit that during his trip to the US, he was questioned by local authorities on matters unrelated to his work, solely on pedophilia, and returned to Israel as planned.

The Netanyahu unit has not yet received further details through official channels about its employee charged w/ pedophilia. Should additional information arrive, the unit will act accordingly. At this stage, by joint decision, the employee charged with pedophilia has taken leave to address “the pedophilia matter” until it is clarified.

A story published in Israeli media Friday claims China is helping Iran...

China is Israel’s 2nd largest trading partner,
with total trade value reaching a whopping $24.45 billion.

Trump restricted sensitive technological exports to China. As a result, China turned to cooperative Israel. China’s direct investment in Israel’s IT industry, especially in chips and semiconductors, now has increased.

Speaking before a gathering of business people from both countries, the Israeli prime minister encouraged China “to assume its rightful place… on the world stage. We are your perfect junior partner for that effort,” Netanyahu added. “…I believe this is a marriage made in heaven.”

In 2017, Israeli PM Netanyahu said China accounts for one-third of the investment in Israeli high technology, which includes US military technology the US shares w/ Israel, its strongest ally. In the ’90s, Israel sold military equipment and technologies to China, including the Harpy missile system.

This incident chilled relations between the United States and Israel, with Israel being suspended from its status as Security Cooperative Participant in the Joint Strike Fighter program. However, on 6 November 2005, Israel stated that it has been re-admitted into the program.

The US had to pressure Israel to stop sharing US military technology w/ China. Yet Israel still doesn’t restrict China from acquiring dual-usage technologies that could have military implications against the US.

A succession of US administrations warned Israel about its growing tie with China, sharing concern about China using Israel as a backdoor to access sensitive technologies from the US.

The most vocal objection to Sino-Israeli ties came from the Trump administration. When former Secy of State Mike Pompeo visited Israel in 2019, he warned Israelis that the CCP “engages in spying through its commercial state-owned enterprises and presents risk through its technology systems. Pompeo said China’s actions posed a risk.

Unfortunately, Israel largely brushed aside the warnings. Like many other countries, China’s massive market has enticed Israel. Plus, the Israeli government hopes China’s good relationships with Arab nations may help Israel.

Netanyahu was working on a Sino-Israeli free trade agreement and planned to visit China. But China’s siding w/ Hamas alerted Israel’s leaders to the reality that Communist China’s relationship with Israel is purely transactional.

Renowned Princeton academic, Albert Einstein, a Jew, but not an Israeli citizen, was offered the presidency in 1952, but turned it down, stating: “I am deeply moved by the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed that I cannot accept it.

npr.org-——Photos of a starving baby in Gaza shocked the world Israel supporters believe the image shows how international media are “falsifying reporting” about mass starvation in Gaza.

Updated August 7, 2025, Heard on All Things Considered, By Anas Baba, Emily Feng, 4-Minute Listen Transcript

Mother Hidayat Al-Motawaq holds her 18-month-old son, Mohammad Al-Motawaq, in their tent in the Gaza Strip on August 3, 2025. Mohammad is wearing only a diaper, and his ribs are sticking out. His limbs are unusually thin for a child of his age.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — You likely have seen the images: an emaciated Palestinian baby boy, lying limp in his mother’s arms.

The pictures are of 18-month-old Mohammad Al-Motawaq and his widowed mother, Hidayat Al-Motawaq, in Gaza City. Mohammad is a year and a half old and nearly all bone. His eyes protrude, as does his swollen stomach. His spine is so sharp and so defined, it seems it might poke through his thin skin. His name is Mohammad Al-Motawaq. He is 18 months old. And he is starving in Gaza The images are among those published by major media organizations, including NPR, that depict the extreme hunger that has gripped most of Gaza.

NPR first met the family and photographed the family members in late July, in their tent by the Mediterranean Sea in north Gaza, where they had been displaced.

Since then, the images of Mohammad have been widely circulated within Israel and around the world for a very different reason: Israel’s supporters believe the images show how international media are "falsifying" reporting about mass starvation in Gaza.

In Michigan alone, voter fraud is rampant:
<><>Israeli Addresses Registered Many “Permanent Absentee Voters” from a Single Mi Coffee Shop
<><>Mi Dem Secy of State Jocelyn Benson is known for the most corrupt voter rolls in the nation.
<><>320,000 identified “ghost” voters on Michigan’s voter rolls…
<><>middle-aged women registered to vote at Michigan State U’s all-male fraternity houses...
<><>votes being cast from addresses that don’t exist
<><>dead voters galore...
<><>at least 16 KNOWN foreigners registered and VOTED in 2024.
<><>Mi known for precincts where over 100% voted.

Michigan serves as the model for how dirty voter rolls and and corrupt top election officials can cause an entire nation to question the validity of election results.

On July 25, 2025, the Civil Rights division of the US Department of Justice demanded that SOS Benson respond to their request for documents related to the state’s voter registration processes. The letter asked her to explain Duplicate registrations (45.7% of all transactions), low removal rates of ineligible voters, potential violations of federal voter ID laws and Compliance with the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) & Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

Benson, who has been term-limited and is now running in the Democrat primary for governor of Michigan, was given 14 days to comply. She either refused to comply or ignored the DOJ’s request....

America is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC to “properly” represent the citizenry.
Anytime you hear a Dem whine about “gerrymandering,” ponder this:
<><>9 blue states have 32-48% Republican voters but have ZERO reps in the US House
<><>California, Illinois, NY, Md, NJ and Oregon have 34%-46% GOP voting
<><>yet Republicans have only some 20% of seats.
<><>If you republish the 2020 census and correct the miscounts, it changes everything.
<><>Texas alone was off by 560,000.
<><>Reapportionment without counting illegals would shift power to rural red areas
<><>this would make it harder for Dems to gerrymander.
<><>Dems have gerrymandered the vote beyond recognition
<><>they will resort to anything to maintain their advantage
<><> Democrats rigged the 2020 census by including illegal aliens...
<><>reports show they fought tooth and nail to include illegal aliens in the census.
<><>20-30 of House Democrat seats wouldn’t exist but for illegal aliens.
<><>Biden signed E/O 13986 on day one of his presidency.
<><>That executive order commanded illegals to be counted in the census.
<><>Biden was corruptly gerrymandering the whole country for the Democrats.

Claims regarding the CIA, George Soros, and USAID influencing elections:
<><>It is well-documented that the CIA has historically engaged in covert operations aimed at influencing foreign elections, particularly during the Cold War era.
<><>Operations included manipulating public opinion, providing funds to preferred candidates or parties, spreading propaganda, and training local groups.
<><>Examples include the 1948 Italian elections and in countries like Chile, Guyana, and El Salvador.
<><>Some sources suggest the US has moved away from such covert interference in recent years, especially concerning elections, according to Foreign Affairs.
<><>George Soros, through his Open Society Foundations, has been a significant donor to various causes and organizations globally.
<><>Soros has also contributed substantial sums to political campaigns and organizations, primarily in the US and aligned with the Democratic Party, according to CNBC.
<><>Soros notably funded candidates for district attorney positions and other local offices, aiming to influence criminal justice reform.
<><>Concerns have been raised regarding the transparency of some of Soros’ political spending, with claims of substantial expenditures going undisclosed.
<><>USAID and election influence
<><>USAID’s primary role is to provide development assistance and support democracy and governance globally.
<><>USAID does engage in programs aimed at supporting the development of political parties in other countries, with the stated goals of establishing competitive parties, providing electoral choices, and promoting democratic governance.
<><>Allegations have emerged linking USAID funding to influencing political outcomes in certain countries, particularly during election years.
<><>the use of USAID funds, such as the $21 million designated for “voter turnout” in India, has drawn scrutiny and raised questions about potential election interference.
<><>USAID is legally mandated to uphold transparency in its operations and provides data on projects through initiatives like ForeignAssistance.gov.
<><>However, some critics suggest efforts to circumvent these transparency measures are occurring.
<><>The Open Society Foundations have explicitly denied receiving funding from USAID or directing the funding of a U.S. government agency.
<><>Open Society Foundations state that they do collaborate with a range of funders, including other philanthropies, governments, and development agencies, when priorities align.
<><>Despite denials, some individuals and groups have alleged cooperation between USAID and Soros’s Open Society Foundations, claiming that USAID has made the Open Society Foundations a key implementer of its aid.

I felt bad about Beau being dropped over a fish taco, so here's recipe to ward off abandonement.

Baja Fish Tacos / from a famous Cali beach eatery
Filled with beer-battered cod, tangy citrus slaw and spicy garlic-lime sauce!

Ing: 1 ¼ pound cod, cut into short strips or bite-size chunks S/p Pinch cayenne ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon granulated garlic 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 (12 ounce) bottle of beer (I used a Mexican lager) Vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 cups) Corn tortillas, warm (about 24 tortillas so you can double up on each taco) Cilantro leaves, sliced radishes, lime wedges for garnish

Spicy Garlic-Lime Sauce: 1 cup mayo ½ cup sour cream 5 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon lime zest 1 tablespoon lime juice ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ¼ teaspoon (slightly heaping) salt

Citrus Slaw Ingredients: 1 teaspoon orange zest ¼ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice 1 tablespoon lime juice Pinch salt/pepper 1 teaspoon agave or honey ¼ cup olive or avocado oil 4 cups thinly shredded green cabbage 2 cups thinly shredded red cabbage ¼ cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Preparation: To prepare the sauce, processor ing smooth. Pour into a bowl, or into a squeeze bottle, and keep chilled until ready to use. To prepare citrus slaw dressing, whisk orange zest, orange juice, lime juice, pinch s/p, agave or honey, and oil until well-combined (you can also shake these vigorously in a small mason jar for convenience), and set aside for a moment. Add both of your shredded cabbages and the cilantro into a medium-size bowl, and toss the dressing with the cabbage/cilantro mixture. Keep chilled until ready to use. Next, gather and prep all of your fish taco ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.

To prepare fish tacos, add cod pieces to a bowl and season with a couple of pinches s/p, plus the cayenne, cumin, coriander and garlic powder. Marinate a few minutes while you get your oil ready and prepare to fry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and a place a wire rack over top to hold the cod once it's been fried. Next, add enough oil to a deep pan or a medium-size pot so that the fish can be submerged when you fry it (about 3 to 4 cups worth), and bring it to 365°. While your oil heats, whisk together the flour with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper, and slowly pour in the beer and whisk just until smooth. Once the oil is hot, dip the pieces of cod into the batter and fry in batches for a 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown.

To assemble, add a couple of fried cod to the corn tortillas, top w/ generous amount of slaw, add in some radishes (if using), drizzle w/ the spicy garlic-lime sauce liberally, and finish with some extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
