the quiet dogs

 there is a favorite Sherlock Holmes observation:

so what are the dogs that are quiet in today's news?

(Aside from the gaslighting of course)

the No Kings demonstrations: we are seeing some looting, of course: Locals taking advantage of the chaos. Nothing new in this. But notice the pale skin of most of those rioting? And that the quiet demonstrators include a lot of nursing home age people?

But the radical Antifa are giving them a bad name without the Democrats (except for Fetterman) telling them to stop messing with their peaceful demonstrations.

But some neighborhoods in LA are safe it seems:

From the Scuttlebut:

Hell even the real gangs (like the Crips and the Bloods) aren’t supporting this shit, and the head of the gang in Compton has declared their turf a “riot free zone” and threatened to use deadly force on any rioter who decides to bring their little tea party into his area.

 

.....

another quiet dog is that the MSM is ignoring years of open threats and several hundred missiles aimed into Israel from Iran before the Israelis hit back. 

lots of news stories imply this was one sided aggression, but the dog that didn't bark is that, except for Iranian backed militias in Iraq, the rest of the region is quiet.

maybe because the local countries  have had Iran's proxies attack them.

heck: the same useful idiots that keep hyperventillating against Israel kept quiet at the deaths, ethnic cleansing, and atrocities of Syria's civil war, or even notice that the extremist Sunnis now run that place after they threw out Iran and Russia' s proxy.... 

Ditto for stories about the Kurds who also want a home land. Will Iran's Kurds join Iraq's Kurds and Syrian Kurds to make a new country? No one is talking about this, except maybe Turkey who fears with good reason their Kurdish minority that includes many terrorist groups.

but no big stories about this on line either.

Hmmm...

there is a lot of anti Israeli comments that morph into pure anti Semetism in comments on the internet, and this is not just on left wing sites but right wing sites, including Catholic sties. One longs to ask them what would happen to the few Christians left in the Middle East if the Muslim extremists won, but never mind.'

 True, the Pope and Trump's Abraham accords are reaching out to the ordinary business oriented Muslim Middle East states who could live with Israel and let Christians worship in freedom, but that is another story that is never covered.

and then there is this: If the cellphone towers are down you can text via starlink in Iran. without a dish

texting family in times of trouble (e.g. when our internet and landlines were out from typhoons) is important.
