George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a furious warning about what happens when political leaders become corrupt and the public decides to scoop out its brains and fling them against the wall. I read the book only once; that was enough. Orwell was one of the greatest thinkers in human history. What’s hideously ironic—and extremely funny to people who enjoy black comedy—is that people have taken his cautionary tale and tuned it into a manual for their hefting behavior.

In Animal Farm, the sheep are taught slogans because they’re too stupid to actually understand the complexities of geopolitics. They chant, “Four legs good! Two legs bad!” at every opportunity. Whenever they get emotionally overwrought, they break into this chant, and everybody has to wait until they run out of steam.

“What’s hefting?” you ask. As well you should. I didn’t know what it was until today. This is hefting.

It’s the instinct of sheep to keep within a small area—a heft—their entire lives. This means farmers don’t need fences. When sheep gather, it’s called flocking.

Of course the corrupt pigs who run Animal Farm cynically use the brainlessness of the sheep to drown out opposition. It’s the same with Israel-haters. Recently a “senior Obama administration official” said this.

The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit.

Another “senior official” said that Benjamin Netanyahu is a “coward” on the issue of Iran’s nuclear threat.

This is so demented that it truly boggles the mind. Insane people are running the United States. It’s actually psychological projection, which I’ll get to in a minute. First, here’s Benjamin Netanyahu as a special-operations officer.

Here’s what the generally anti-Israel Wikipedia says about Netanyahu’s military service.

After graduating from high school in 1967, Netanyahu returned to Israel to enlist in the IDF. He trained as a combat soldier and became a team leader in an elite special forces unit of the IDF, Sayeret Matkal. He took part in numerous cross-border assault raids during the 1969–70 War of Attrition. He was wounded in combat on multiple occasions. He was involved in many other missions, including Operation Inferno (1968), and the rescue of the hijacked Sabena Flight 571 in May 1972 in which he was shot in the shoulder.

Four years of commando operations. In the photo he’s clearly armed with a Mini Uzi submachine gun, a weapon that officially didn’t exist until 1980. The Mini Uzi is used only in very close-quarter combat. Despite the danger of the mission for which he’s prepared, future prime minister Netanyahu has elected to wear no body armor or helmet. He’ll rely only on his skill as a soldier to survive.

After the “chickenshit” comment, the flocking hefters of the anti-Israel movement began their chanting.

A devil and a chickenshit. “Four legs good! Two legs bad!” got scrambled in that flocking hefter’s two-watt brain.

Adnan Jatt is an open admirer of Hitler.

He’s also a flocking hefter.

Adnan says his life is dedicated to spreading the values of his religion. I thank him for his honesty.

Here’s the most confused flocking-hefter chant I’ve seen so far.

“Israel is a war criminal.” What can you even say? Ron White thinks Israel is a person. And he’s not going to do a thing about it except post on the Internet. That’s the extent of his involvement in stopping war crimes. Posting makes him feel good about himself. And he writes “#freedom” and “#humanity” as he spreads the propaganda of the murderous terrorist organization Hamas.

That photo has appeared since at least 2009. The three children are lying on a rubber floor mat from an SUV. Since none have any obvious injuries, I’m calling the image a fake. The rubber mat was to keep the kids off the cold, concrete floor. Dad was pretending. And speaking of murdering children, those three are luckier than four others I could mention.

Who called Netanyahu a chickenshit?

I believe it was Secretary of State John Kerry, a man who hates the military, hates Israel, and hates those who display far more courage than he ever did.

Kerry recently destroyed his face with cosmetic surgery.

He’s using fillers and Botox to try and make a silk purse from the pig’s ear that he wears on the front of his skull every day. In another irony he illustrates a brilliant George Orwell quote.

At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.

Kerry deserves to look like a hideous freak. He’s dedicated his entire life to destruction and lies. I’d never heard of him until 2003, when he said this.

What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.

While American troops were still conducting major combat operations, a sitting US senator who’d voted to authorize the use of force compared the American political system to the Third World dictatorship our men and women were fighting. I’d never heard anything like it in my life. His supporters called him a war hero, wounded three times during the Vietnam War. He commanded a US Navy Patrol Craft Fast (PCF), also called a Swift Boat.

These all-aluminum, shallow-draft vessels were used in littoral zones and rivers. It could be very hazardous duty, requiring that sailors disembark and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

John Kerry didn’t know this. He enlisted in the US Naval Reserves on February 18, 1966; on February 10, 1968, he requested duty in Vietnam as the commander of a Swift Boat.

“I didn’t really want to get involved in the war,” Kerry said in a book of Vietnam reminiscences published in 1986. “When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling and that’s what I thought I was going to be doing.”

After being infinitesimally wounded three times, John Kerry requested that he be transferred back to the US. He’d served exactly four months in Vietnam. When I first read that, I thought it was a mistake. He began every other sentence with, “When I was in Vietnam—” It had to be four years, I figured, but I was wrong. He served from November 17, 1968, to March 17, 1969.

Armed with an M-16 rifle, a .45 automatic pistol in a shoulder holster, and some kind of privately purchased Bowie knife.

Then he came home and began a career of lying about the US military and his own pitiful service record.

I would like to talk on behalf of all those veterans and say that several months ago in Detroit we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged, and many very highly decorated, veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia. These were not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit—the emotions in the room and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told stories that at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

Many of the “veterans” of the Winter Soldier Investigation were imposters, and others recanted their moronic testimony. The man in this photo with John Kerry?

That’s Al Hubbard, executive secretary of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). He was a former Air Force captain wounded in combat.

Well, except for the fact that Hubbard was actually a sergeant, never served in Vietnam, and was never wounded in combat.

Maybe a flocking hefter—I’m talking to you, Max Blumenthal—can explain something to me: Why do you idolize war criminals? If I were in the military, nothing could induce me to commit war crimes. What makes the Max Blumenthals of the world fall in love with people who claim to have murdered, raped, tortured, and razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Jenjis Conn?

On April 23, 1971, John Kerry was filmed throwing what he said were his medals over the fence of the US Capitol.

In a TV interview on November 6, 1971, Kerry said he’d thrown away six to nine medals. However, when running for president in 2004, he denied having thrown away his medals, saying it was a “phony controversy” and a “myth.”

I threw my ribbons. I didn’t have my medals. It is very simple.

But in 1984, he said he threw another veteran’s medals. And in 1988 he said he threw away only the ribbons of his Purple Hearts, the awards given for the three tiny wounds that allowed him to leave Vietnam as quickly as he could.

The real story doesn’t matter. All anybody needs to know is that John Kerry isn’t fit to clean the shoes of any Israeli.

And a note to the flocking hefters chanting their slogans: On July 20, 2014, Israeli troops assaulted the fortress of Shijaiyah without artillery preparation and after having given the enemy four days’ notice. That’s absolutely unprecedented.

Not only did the Israelis defeat the enemy and accomplish the mission, here’s what the Palestinians say about the civilians who died.

In the Shijaiya area, people received warnings from the Israelis and tried to evacuate the area, but Hamas militants blocked the exits and ordered people to return to their homes. Some of the people had no choice but to run towards the Israelis and ask for protection for their families. Hamas shot some of those people as they were running; the rest were forced to return to their homes and get bombed. This is how the Shijaiya massacre happened. More than 100 people were killed.

That covers all the civilian deaths. The IDF therefore killed no civilians in the assault. Do you understand what that says about Israeli military capabilities? It’s science fiction made fact. As someone who studies weapons development, I can tell you that in about two years, the Israeli Defense Forces will be literally invincible. War with Israel will become obsolete.

No amount of baaaaaaaaaaaaing will prevent the magnificent reality that’s hurtling toward us at warp speed.
