Los Angeles Mayoral Elections - 2022

A victory for the Netanyahu paradigm 2019

Israeli voters have embraced Netanyahu's view that the territorial concessions and a peace process are not the key to making Israel stronger. Gantz's loss proves that the Left cannot successfully obscure its views.

The low turnout during the first few hours of Election Day drove the parties’ ground game chiefs out of their minds. Over at the Likud campaign headquarters, there was a sense that the entire get-out-to-vote operation was dead. There were complaints of a lackluster apparatus, logistical shortcomings and a severe shortage of manpower.

The people around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were well aware of the dire situation. Just after 4 p.m., after Netanyahu had gotten the impression that things were truly out of control, he took to Facebook and aired live videos showing his angst over people failing to vote, imploring them to go to the nearest voting booth.

Netanyahu claims and substantiates that Iran lied about nuclear program

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday claimed to have evidence that Iran has lied about its nuclear program and urged President Donald Trump to “do the right thing” next month by pulling out of a 2015 deal designed to curb Iran's atomic ambitions.

Netanyahu, a longtime opponent of the nuclear agreement, said Israeli forces had recently seized reams of secret documents from Iran detailing what he called Tehran’s past attempts to conceal a military nuclear program. Iran has always insisted that it is developing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

"Tonight we're going to reveal new and conclusive proof of the secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding,” Netanyahu said. “Iran lied. Big time. After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its effort to hide its nuclear files.”

Netanyahu said Israel had already shared with American officials the more than 100,000 files and roughly 180 CDs obtained from an Iranian “atomic archive,” and he claimed the U.S. could vouch for their authenticity.

The files predate the 2015 nuclear deal and thus do not reveal a technical violation of that agreement, which Trump has threatened to abandon next month. Many U.S. officials and experts have long believed that Iran conducted research into the development of nuclear weapons in the past decade.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday evening that the documents “show that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program for years.” Iran, he continued, “hid a vast atomic archive from the world and from the IAEA — until today.”

“We are therefore assessing what the discovery of Iran’s secret nuclear files means for the future of the JCPOA,” Pompeo said in a statement, referring to the future of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name for the Iran deal. “Allowing restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program to sunset was a mistake.” 

But Netanyahu suggested that his government had unearthed vastly more damning information that would remove any doubt about the honesty of Iran's assurances that it would not seek nuclear arms. Netanyahu said the materials revealed a secret project under the code name "Amad," which ended in 2003. But the Iranians retained the materials for future use, he said.

Israel’s findings included "incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos and more,” Netanyahu said.

“These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it said it never had a nuclear weapons program," Netanyahu said. "This atomic archive clearly showed that Iran planned at the highest levels to continue work on nuclear weapons under different guises."

He added that Iran's missile program carries on with the long-term goal of pairing with a future nuclear capability. "They're planning much longer-range missiles to carry nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu spoke less than two weeks before a May 12 deadline that Trump has cited as a decision point he may use to withdraw from the multinational agreement negotiated by the Obama administration.

One former Obama administration foreign policy official said that Netanyahu's speech likely had "an audience of one": Donald Trump.

"That is just not an acceptable situation," Trump said at the White House on Monday in response to a question about the Israeli leader's remarks.

Trump also warned that Iran was not merely "sitting back idly," but he declined to say whether he will terminate the agreement next month. “We’ll see what happens," the president said. "I’m not telling you what I’m doing, but a lot of people think they know.”

Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, fired back on Twitter on Monday, calling the Israeli leader's speech "a rehash of old allegations already dealt with by the [International Atomic Energy Agency] to 'nix' the deal. How convenient. Coordinated timing of alleged intelligence revelations ... just days before May 12."

Also skeptical was J Street, a Washington-based liberal Israel policy group critical of Netanyahu's foreign policy.

"While Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump have long been determined to undermine this agreement, their own security establishments continue to confirm that the deal is working and that Iran is compliant with all of its commitments. Nothing we were shown today contradicts or disproves that expert assessment,” said Dylan Williams, the group's vice president of government affairs.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the GOP chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, seemed to agree, telling Bloomberg TV in an interview that Netanyahu's speech brought "nothing new" to the contentious debate surrounding the agreement.

In his remarks, Netanyahu argued that the seized Iranian intelligence proves the nuclear deal was negotiated in poor faith.

"The Iran deal, the nuclear deal, is based on lies. It's based on Iranian lies and Iranian deception,” he said. “This is a terrible deal. It should never have been concluded. And in a few days, President Trump will make his decision on what to do with the nuclear deal. I'm sure he will do the right thing."

President Barack Obama negotiated the nuclear agreement with Iran and five other nations, including Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia and China. The agreement lifted U.S. and European economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for strict limits on Tehran's nuclear program, including the dismantlement of thousands of centrifuges used to enrich uranium.

Obama said the deal was the best alternative to a military clash with Iran. As a candidate, Trump denounced it as "the worst deal ever." Last week, Trump warned Iran that it would face "bigger problems than they ever had before" should it restart its nuclear program in response to the restoration of U.S. sanctions.

To all the people of Los Angeles -

After hearing some of the hardships and abuse committed in the name of humanity.
I realized that I have a voice; a strong voice; that must be utilized with no limitation; a voice that perhaps I use very often.
But this voice would not be taken for granted.
I felt that I should become a voice for those that didn't have a voice, for those whose voice can't and won’t be heard by others.

That's when I decided to pursue a mission; “to voice the people who are not being heard and or ignored, to be a voice for those who need a voice."
This scenario of listening to the peoples voice, applies to the people of Los Angeles; the one’s who sacrifice and who work everyday, raise a family, have no wealth, and do not have a voice in our government and its decisions that affect their lives, and their voice is not heard or ignored.
It is time to listen to the people and respond to their needs and demands without equivocations.
As your elected representative I will represent you the people, the ones who are ignored and overlooked, I will not back down to pressure; I will not capitulate to mounting demands by the money people.
As your elected representative it is my duty and obligation to represent all the people of Los Angeles equally with no favoritism to any group or special interest.
Honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability will be my primary goals.

Furthermore, I plan on setting up a department which their mission will be to help struggling businesses and help bring back business and industry to Los Angeles by providing incentives.
This will create jobs and increase revenues to the City, State and Federal government.

I am tired of paying for someone else’s lunch.
Thank you.
your humble servant,

YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles 2022

"I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true."

Public broadcasters have adopted shared principles to strengthen the trust and integrity that communities expect of valued public service institutions.

Public media organizations contribute to a strong civil society and active community life, provide access to knowledge and culture, extend education, and offer varied viewpoints and sensibilities.

The freedom of public media professionals to make editorial decisions without undue influence is essential. It is rooted in America's commitment to free speech and a free press. It is reflected in the unique and critical media roles that federal, state, and local leaders have encouraged and respected across the years. It is affirmed by the courts.

Trust is equally fundamental. Public media organizations create and reinforce trust through rigorous, voluntary standards for the integrity of programming and services, fundraising, community interactions, and organizational governance.

These standards of integrity apply to all the content public media organizations produce and present, regardless of subject matter, including news, science, history, information, music, arts, and culture. These standards apply across all public media channels and platforms - broadcasting, online, social media, print, media devices, and in-person events.

Public media, individually and collectively:

• Contribute to communities' civic, educational, and cultural life by presenting a range of ideas and cultures and offering a robust forum for discussion and debate.
• Commit to accuracy and integrity in the pursuit of facts about events, issues, and important matters that affect communities and people's lives.
• Pursue fairness and responsiveness in content and services, with particular attention to reflecting diversity of demography, culture, and beliefs.
• Aim for transparency in news gathering, reporting, and other content creation and share the reasons for important editorial and programming choices.
• Protect the editorial process from the fact and appearance of undue influence, exercising care in seeking and accepting funds and setting careful boundaries between contributors and content creators.
• Encourage understanding of fundraising operations and practices, acknowledge program sponsors, and disclose content-related terms of sponsor support.
• Maintain respectful and accountable relationships with individual and organizational contributors.
• Seek editorial partnerships and collaborations to enhance capacity, perspective, timeliness, and relevance and apply public media standards to these arrangements.
• Expect employees to uphold public media's integrity in their personal as well as their professional lives, understanding that employee actions, even when "off the clock," affect trust, integrity, credibility, and impartiality.
• Promote the common good, the public interest, and these commitments to integrity and trustworthiness in organizational governance, leadership, and management.

The Public Media Code of Integrity was developed by the Affinity Group Coalition and the Station Resource Group, collectively representing public television and radio stations and service organizations from across the country, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
