Israel’s Decapitation Strike on the Houthis — and the Real Genocide Nobody’s Talking About
September 03, 2025

Reporting from Panama’s Pacific coast, at the very drop zone where my Ranger unit parachuted in during the 1989 Panama invasion.

Over the weekend, Israel executed what can only be called a decapitation strike against the Houthi regime in Yemen. According to initial reports coming out of Sanaa, the prime minister, the Houthi chief of staff, and most cabinet ministers were killed—with only a handful left alive, one badly wounded, and the rest fleeing the capital. Israel had warned that if the Houthis kept firing at Israeli civilians, there would be “a blow to the firstborns.” Biblical language, yes—but now you see what they meant.

The Houthis are vowing revenge. What can they actually do? Short answer: missiles and drones—because marching an army to Israel is off the table. And even those missiles keep breaking up over Saudi Arabia or getting intercepted before they get close. That doesn’t stop the Houthis from claiming victory on TV (more on the “perception war” below), but reality is stubborn.

 

The Information War: Manufactured “Genocide,” Manufactured Outrage

While Israel hits real military targets, aid agencies and UN-adjacent NGOs have been coordinating press pushes to browbeat global media into labeling Gaza a “genocide” and “famine.” We’ve dismantled that claim repeatedly here:

  • Genocide has a definition. Israel is not “erasing a people.” In fact, Israel pushes aid into Gaza, warns civilians with calls, leaflets, and roof knocks, and routinely pauses operations for humanitarian corridors—steps no genocidal regime takes.

  • Famine is weaponized rhetoric. There’s more food entering Gaza than most hot zones on earth, and we’ve all seen the videos of aid discarded in the streets when it isn’t the brand preferred by looters or Hamas handlers.

Meanwhile, the very people chanting “genocide” against Israel are silent about a very real, very measurable catastrophe:

Benjamin Netanyahu Explains the Israeli Economy

Netanyahu was once Israeli Finance Minister - and it shows. He understands a lot about economics, and is worth listening to in order to get a sense for where Israel's economy is headed.

Episode 622 - Field Producer Dennis Azato and Chuck Reminisce
The Church Is Not a Hiding Place for Evil

There is a sickness in the Church today that we cannot ignore any longer. It's the culture of cover-up. The idea that protecting a ministry's reputation is more important than protecting the vulnerable. That confronting evil within the camp somehow threatens the work of God. That’s not biblical. That’s cowardice.

The man being exposed in this video—a well-known evangelist working in Central and South America—has even been connected to my own church. That hits close to home. And I want to say publicly that I’m proud of my pastor, Nick, for standing up for the victims and refusing to stay silent. That kind of courage is rare, and it’s exactly what the Church needs right now.

You may not know this man or any of the people involved. But that doesn’t mean this doesn’t concern you. It’s important to recognize the signs of abuse and manipulation in the Church so that when we see it, we can stand against it—clearly, boldly, and without hesitation.

If we say we follow Christ, then ...

John 14:6 AMP
[6] Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.14.6.AMP

I saw this post from a friend on Facebook that had some worthy points on video games. Take a look:

For a little while I was into playing a couple of video games. While I enjoyed the exploring and the beautiful scenery and some of the storyline, there was just too much killing. It was all killing of bad creatures or characters but it was killing. I stopped. I saw the following in FB and had to share... Hate crimes are rising. Mass shootings, assaults on minority communities, and public displays of violence are no longer rare — they are creeping into our everyday sense of “normal.”
What’s fueling this surge?
We often debate politics or mental health, but I believe we ignore at our peril a powerful duo: social media engineered to addict, and video games that blur the line between virtual carnage and emotional numbness.
Social media platforms are built to keep us hooked. They exploit our instincts for novelty, fear, and belonging — pulling us into loops of ...

What 157 Flags for “Palestine” Really Mean (and Don’t)

157 Countries “Recognize Palestine”

According to the latest tally, 157 UN member states—about 81% of the General Assembly—now recognize a Palestinian state (framed along 1967 lines: West Bank/Judea & Samaria, Gaza, and East Jerusalem with land swaps). That vote doesn’t grant UN membership (the U.S. vetoed that push at the Security Council), but it is a wave of diplomatic theater.

Countries that recognize the state of Palestine
Countries recognizing the State of Palestine

Let’s be clear:

  • On the ground, nothing changes. Israel still controls its borders; the Palestinian Authority controls scattered zones in the West Bank; Hamas still rules Gaza by force.

  • In the halls of international bodies, recognition amplifies lawfare—more podium time, more resolutions and filings at the ICJ/ICC targeting Israel. Symbolic isolation rises; security reality does not.

“Recognition” without governance, borders, or a unified leadership isn’t statehood; it’s virtue signaling.

Strength or Spiral: America’s Homegrown Insurgents, Russia’s Airspace Gambit, and the Cost of Weakness

Two streams in one day turned into one big theme: we’re in a knife-edge moment where weakness—at home and abroad—invites chaos. I want to lay out what I’m seeing on both fronts, why they’re connected, and what actually helps.

Antifa Isn’t “An Idea.” It’s an Organized Violence Machine.

I’ve covered Antifa up close for years—from Trump’s 2017 inauguration riots in D.C. to Portland’s nightly assaults on the federal courthouse. I’ve had a tripod swung at my head, dodged bottles and rocks, and watched black-clad “protesters” aim high-powered green lasers to permanently blind federal officers. You don’t bring a claw hammer, commercial fireworks, gas masks, and pre-cut shields to chant kumbaya. You bring those to break the law.

The media’s favorite line—“Antifa is just an idea”—is an excuse not to act. Here’s what I’ve personally seen:

  • Organization & logistics: Same faces, same vans, same gear popping up in different cities. Supply tents with food, goggles, shields, and “street medic” kits. That doesn’t happen by accident.

  • Funding pipelines: Bail funds, GoFundMe pages, linktrees, and “mutual aid” accounts keep rioters on the street and back out of jail within hours—especially in left-run jurisdictions where DAs refuse to prosecute.

  • Tactics: Mask up, mob up, commit the felony, swarm to “de-arrest” buddies, then melt away into the crowd. It’s insurgent tradecraft scaled for U.S. streets.

“But don’t we already have laws?”
