NEW On “Hard Truth With David Vance And ilana Mercer”:
“Bearded Men Breast Feeding In Public: Paternal Or Kinky?”
Welcome to “Hard Truth With David Vance And ilana Mercer“: It seems that mum is no longer the word. Something’s not quite right here. David and ilana unpack.
It’s on Podcast:
“Hard Truth With David Vance And ilana Mercer“ is in the app stores.
And it’s on:
Crime, Democracy, Democrats, Etiquette, Europe, South-Africa, The West
The essay, originally titled “South Africa Shames U.S. Democrats By Uniting Against Criminality,” has appeared on JUNGE FREIHEIT, a German weekly of excellence, which had previously translated and published my weekly column for some years.
The current column is:
“Südafrika nach den Unruhen: Eine Warnung für die USA”
I think I get the well-titled “Eine Warnung für die USA.” A translator would be needed for the rest.
I loved every minute of working with my JUNGE FREIHEIT colleagues, because every one embodies the dying art of courtesy, kindness and professionalism.
Writes the editor:
Thank you for your indeed brilliant text!
We can only confirm, it really is a truly remarkable piece. (We have been given three texts on South Africa, and yours is by far the best. However, even without comparison: it is marvelous!)

A translation of the essay was done speedily amid the crisis of the flooding in Germany. What pros! I pray for the victims, but know that the German people will build back and prevail.
Speaking of manners: Watch out for Mr. Vance and myself on podcast (in the app stores) and YouTube. The latest podcast, out tomorrow is:
“Bearded Men Breast Feeding In Public: Paternal Or Kinky?” At:

WARNING: ADULT HUMOR
When Iranian dissidents approach me on LinkedIn, I confess to ignoring them. They are invariably interventionist agitators, and I’m an avid, longtime non-interventionist, as you know.
Loud, banal, with a mad-woman’s tumbleweed hair; mouthing the kind of cliched ideas of which we have an abundance and get a load of incessantly in America from the most tiresome, troublesome #MeToo women—Masih Alinejad, Iranian-American “journalist,” is alleged to have been the object of a kidnapping plot by the Iranian mullahs.
However, I don’t believe the Iranians want her back. (Would you? She’s hardly a keeper.) I don’t buy the whole hype around the alleged kidnapping plot hatched by Iranians. The FBI says so. Yes: Where have we heard that before without a shred of evidence!? (We go to wars based on the intelligence community’s habitual lies.)
AND:
What do you know? This has been going on for a while. Well, it takes time (and funds) for the FBI to lay a trap.
This sounds like vintage FBI entrapment. Some low IQ Abduls are enticed by out-of-control FBI agents into committing a crime they had no intention of committing until approached.
The woman, Alinejad, is irksome, but she’s irrelevant in the American and Iranian grander scheme.
Just like they need to pick-up the scent and chase after Cuba, the neoconservative press and political establishment likes to push the idea that America—near bankrupt, financially and morally—needs to bestow freedom on Iran. Ludicrous.
Lift embargoes on both Iran and Cuba. Both are impoverished. And with respect to Iran, let the International Atomic Energy Agency do its job. (The IAEA is pretty good, and was spot on about Iraq!) The Europeans don’t want a nuclear Iran in their neighborhood. That’s the best we can do without destroying another country with hubris.
