Benjamin Netanyahu

The Ayatollah Under the Bed(sheets)

Karim Sadjadpour argues that in the Islamic Republic of Iran, sexuality is not a private matter but a central instrument of state power: the regime uses hijab, sexual morality, and even practices like temporary marriages and public shaming as tools to suppress dissent, regulate society, and legitimate its rule, while tolerating or exploiting vice when expedient. The piece traces how moral policing, censorship, and gender policing permeate every arena—from seminaries to the economy—driven by a maslahat logic that seeks control more than moral clarity, even as a young, connected population pushes back and Western cultural influence challenges the regime’s puritanical foundations. In this paradox, Tehran fears cultural decay—more than artillery—as the key threat to the regime, shaping its strategic calculus toward preserving power through morality.

Email discussion on MBS-MBN power struggle, Trump influence, and GCC politics

This 2017 internal email thread asserts explosive claims that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has a unique, secret line to President Donald Trump and manipulated U.S. policy to back MBS in the throne succession struggle, including the Qatar blockade, after Trump’s Riyadh visit, and alleges a discreet delivery of $1 billion in cash to the Trump Organization via a private yacht, with insiders claiming the funds came from MBS and the operation was kept secret to protect American interests.

The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat

This FrontPage interview with Bill Siegel argues that Western denial of a growing Islamic threat stems from The Control Factor, a deliberate, lifelong mental process that distorts perception to preserve a false sense of control; Siegel outlines three interlocking levels of jihad—violent jihad, Civilization Jihad (infiltration and lawfare to erode freedoms), and International Institutional Jihad (global pressure from bodies like the UN and OIC)—and contends that only through an Inner Jihad, a Turnaround Moment, and tactics like mirroring the enemy can the West wake up and defend its civilization. He links these ideas to documented plans associated with the Muslim Brotherhood (The Project and Explanatory Memorandum) and urges readers to confront uncomfortable truths, reject guilt-driven paralysis, and take decisive action to counter what he portrays as a deliberate, multi-level strategy to subjugate Western societies.

Interview: The Control Factor — Our Struggle to See the True Threat (FrontPage Magazine)

This FrontPage Magazine interview with Bill Siegel promotes his book The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat, arguing that a psychological mechanism he calls the Control Factor blinds Western publics to a real threat posed by Islamic movements; he treats the threat as threefold—Violent Jihad (terrorism and violence), Civilization Jihad (infiltration of culture, law, and institutions to undermine Western society and suppress dissent), and International Institutional Jihad (control exerted through global bodies like the UN and OIC); he urges an Inner Jihad to overcome denial, advocates tactics such as mirroring the enemy’s behavior, and introduces the idea of a Turnaround Moment to mobilize a more principled response, while drawing on documents like the Muslim Brotherhood’s Explanatory Memorandum to underscore his claims about strategy and infiltration.

The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat

Bill Siegel’s The Control Factor argues that after 9/11, the Western mind actively distorts reality to maintain a false sense of control, a mechanism he calls the Control Factor that keeps us blind to a real threat from Islamic movements. He identifies three levels of jihad—the violent jihad of terror, Civilization Jihad to infiltrate and subvert Western institutions, and International Institutional Jihad that leverages global bodies to press changes from outside—tied together by strategic use of language, guilt, and denial. The book urges an “Inner Jihad” to overcome these biases, practical mirroring to hold the enemy—and ourselves—accountable, and a decisive Turnaround Moment to defend Western civilization and constitutional liberty against a multi-faceted threat.

The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat

This FrontPage Magazine interview with Bill Siegel promotes his book The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat, arguing that Western mindsets are ruled by a persistent “Control Factor” that blinds us to a real threat posed by Islam, and outlining three levels of jihad—violent jihad, Civilization Jihad (infiltration and subversion of culture and law), and International Institutional Jihad (external pressure through bodies like the UN). It advocates an “Inner Jihad” to reclaim rational control, a “Turnaround Moment” to abandon denial, and the tactic of mirroring to impose symmetric responses, while warning that Western guilt, evasive language, and misapprehensions about “moderate” Muslims enable the enemy. The piece urges readers to study related documents from the Muslim Brotherhood and to confront what Siegel describes as a long-term, global strategy to undermine Western civilization.

The Control Factor FrontPage Interview with Bill Siegel

These pages present emails and a FrontPage interview with Bill Siegel about his book The Control Factor, in which he argues that Western minds are distorted by a pervasive “Control Factor” that blinds us to the threat of Islam, outlining a three-level jihad (violent, civilization, and international institutional) and advocating an “Inner Jihad” to overcome denial, a “turnaround moment,” and even “mirroring” as strategic responses, while urging readers to consult works like the Explanatory Memorandum and the Lawfare Project to understand what he portrays as a long-range effort by the Muslim Brotherhood to reshape Western civilization.

Policy Analyses on Iran Nuclear Issue, Sanctions, and Global Governance (2013)

This collection of policy essays from February 2013 surveys the volatile landscape of nuclear diplomacy and global governance, arguing that blunt sanctions and “final deal” rhetoric are unlikely to resolve Iran’s or North Korea’s programs and that a measured, incremental approach—grounded in verifiable steps, credible deterrence, and multilateral engagement—offers a better path, while urging reform of international institutions to reflect a rising Asia and a shifting world order; it also presents a sobering portrait of the Israel–Palestine conflict, showing growing Palestinian fatigue with the peace process and rising support for resistance, underscoring the urgency of renewed, realistic diplomacy.

Iran Nuclear Program and International Sanctions: Policy Essays

Across this 2013 collection, policy voices argue that Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs demand incremental, verifiable diplomacy within a strengthened multilateral framework—avoiding take-it-or-leave-it bargains or purely punitive sanctions—and that credible deterrence, paired with calibrated incentives, offers the best chance to curb proliferation without triggering wider conflict. The set also weighs the limits of sanctions, the prospects and perils of regime change, and the need to reform global governance, while a Palestinian-focused piece highlights rising public frustration with the peace process and the fragility of a two-state solution, underscoring the imperative for pragmatic diplomacy and sustained international coordination.
