Judge Napolitano and I discuss the massacre in Moscow (and who may have done it/known about it) and the genocide in Gaza — and whether Israelis forces are likely to mount a ground offensive against Rafa anytime soon.
The French Road to Nuclear War
The Charge of the French Brigade? VIPS try to “reason why”, conclude the French may “do” — then die. How many others will have to die? VIPS has had no luck informing Biden: (See the “Background” section at Memo end)

The Unspeakable Effect of the Gaza Genocide
Doctors depict the unspeakable effect of Gaza genocide. I recall Camus, Merton, Berrigan, urging us to “do the right thing.” Airman Aaron Bushnell decided self-immolation was the right thing for him to choose, and challenged those who choose to do nothing.
UN Security Council Charade
UN Security Council vote yesterday was an embarrassing charade with ominous portent for Gaza. https://youtube.com/watch?v=2uLiE1NsL1A Also yesterday, ‘Judging Freedom’ stalwart Matthew Hoh shed 10 minutes of lurid light on the madness in Ukraine, in testimony to the UNSC.
What Will Putin Do
Biden claims “Putin will not stop after Ukraine”. HISTORY SHOWS OTHERWISE. In April 2022, he did stop — momentarily — when the Ukrainians agreed to remain neutral — momentarily. I add a crusty comment on Madeleine Albright by fmr French ambassador.
Macron Troops will be “Priority Target”
Russian Intel chief Naryshkin warned on March 19 that if Macron sends troops into Ukraine, they will be “priority target” for destruction. Putin, March 13: “Biden knows that US troops in Ukraine would be ‘invaders’.” Putin likely to conclude that Macron’s invaders have Biden’s OK
Biden at Odds with the Intel Threat Assessment
Oddly, Biden’s charge that Putin “will not stop at Ukraine” finds no support in this year’s “Intel Threat Assessment”. Remind Biden that exactly 2 years ago Putin DID STOP as Ukr negotiators agreed to neutrality. They now admit West torpedoed the agreement.
Starving in Gaza / The Great Hunger in Ireland
Starving Gaza, as deliberate as The Great Hunger in Ireland, is Biden’s legacy. The US Boat to Gaza in 2011. https://fpif.org/washington_okays_attack_on_unarmed_us_ship/
Recalling Israel’s bulldozing of 23 yr-old Rachel Corrie as she tried to prevent destruction of a Palestinian home in Rafa.
Giving Israel Weapons to Bomb Palestinians
Even Andrea Mitchell can’t parse the incompatibility in US policy giving Israel weapons to bomb Palestinians, then caring for the “lucky” survivors dying of starvation. Sen Schumer’s criticism of Netanyahu? Russia-hating officials blind to Ukraine reality.
Ray Reviews the 2024 Intelligence Threat Assessment
The 2024 Intelligence “Threat Assessment” is pitched at 5th-grade level. Ignores N Korea’s modern ICBM from Russia. Positives: includes section on MidEast! this yr; Iran STILL NOT developing nuke weapon and “had no foreknowledge of HAMAS attack on Israel.”
