Protecting Synagogues Like Abortion Clinics

Anti-Israel protestors converged on a synagogue in Queens, NY, to protest an event promoting buying property in Israel. The scores of agitators were consumed “with rage,” looking for a fight against Jews whom they considered stealing “Palestinian land,” and abetting a “genocide” against Palestinian Arabs.

Not surprisingly, the mob – many with faces covered – came for a fight shouting “Free Palestine!”, “We don’t want no Zionists here!” and “We don’t want two states; we want ’48” (meaning all of the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea). In response, the Jews waved American and Israeli flags and chanted “USA! USA!,” “Am Yisrael Chai (the nation of Israel lives)”, “F*ck Hamas” and “Donald Trump!”

Rep. Grace Meng whose district includes the synagogue noted that people had a right to protest but that “harassing people outside of their house of worship is unacceptable.” She alerted the police to keep peace between the protestors but the event was disrupted by the incident.

Similar incidents have occurred in Los Angeles, CA and Teaneck, NJ. More are likely unless preventative action is taken and perpetrators face consequences.

The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE), made it an offense to use intimidation or physical force – such as forming a blockade – in order to prevent a person from entering a facility which provides abortions and reproductive healthcare. That 1994 law also provides protection for people using a house of worship, specifically prohibiting:

Many states have added to the national law. Some have created new agencies like New York State’s Hate and Bias Prevention Unit which focuses on education about biases, early warning detection systems and rapid response units for bias incidents.

First, these laws should be enacted around the country and must be enforced. People who intimidate or interfere with people attending synagogues should be prosecuted.

Second, additional protections should be instituted around the country. Ideas include:

  • Banning the wearing of face coverings/ masks at events;
  • Banning loudspeakers and noisemakers;
  • Hold the organization which call for rallies outside of synagogues – especially when using inflammatory language like “rage” – accountable;
  • add “buffer zones” of hundred-plus feet in which protestors cannot approach a synagogue, Jewish school or community center, similar to perimeters for abortion clinics.

The United States protects free speech, as well as freedom of assembly and worship. It does not provide protection for people to threaten, intimidate or interfere with others, especially at a house of worship. Legal protections must be enhanced and enforced to address the alarming rise of antisemitism.

“I Think We Need To Have A Real Conversation About Woke Antisemitism”

The “Squad” of far-left American politicians pulled out all of the antisemitic dog whistles in their fight to defend the unpopular congressman Jamaal Bowman in the New York Democratic primary. In response to his resounding defeat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said “I think we need to have a real conversation about AIPAC,” the pro-Israel group supported by many Jews.

In truth, all the alt-left did was talk about AIPAC for the prior months and did so in the most vile and slanderous manner. As such, we must have a conversation about alt-left politicians’ repulsive antisemitism.

The smears were:

  • AIPAC is a bunch of White supremacist racist MAGA billionaires
  • AIPAC doesn’t want Black and Brown people to have positions of power
  • AIPAC supports genocide of Black and Brown people
  • The people behind AIPAC are operating in the shadows
  • AIPAC is buying off politicians and congress
  • AIPAC and backers are seeking to oppress minorities around the world
  • The Squad is operating to defend working class people from the AIPAC racist money machine
  • It’s a war of us versus them

This is repulsive and mimics Nazi propaganda against Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. These are carefully organized scripts to inflame a war against Jews in the United States and around the world.

White Supremacists and Racists

Bowman’s posts on X were replete with calling the backers of his opponent George Latimer, himself a progressive, as racists of the worst sort, who try to keep Black people down.

Comments included:

  • “White supremacists… targeting me, our first Black Representative with racist attacks & dog whistles… don’t want to see people like us in power.” [note that lower Westchester voted for Mondaire Jones, a Black gay progressive in 2020]
  • “Big-money groups like AIPAC don’t like seeing people like me in power.”
  • “AIPAC and their MAGA billionaires don’t want to see us in power. They don’t want to see Black and brown working class people rising up.”
  • “We’re fighting against AIPAC and their Republican billionaires… trying to buy NY-16… our communities are not for sale.”

Billionaires Buying Politicians

Bowman, AOC and Sen. Bernie Sanders made the fight about a handful of racist billionaires buying politicians, rather than discuss issues.

Comments included:

  • “AIPAC and their right-wing billionaires are trying to buy this district like they bought my opponent. They don’t want to see people in power.”
  • “AIPAC and their Republican billionaires are spending millions to try to buy our district… their money will never defeat the people.”
  • “My opponent sold out to AIPAC and their right-wing billionaires. They’re spending millions to try to buy our district.”
  • “He’s [Latimer] so bought out by AIPAC… pawns for special interests.”
  • “Fight back against AIPAC and right-wing billionaires.”
  • “AIPAC has already spent $6 million against us. Why? because we stand for peace and justice! MAGA Republicans are trying to buy NY-16… we decide the future of our district, not them.”
  • “Defeat MAGA billionaires trying to buy NY-16”
  • AOC wrote “Big money, from AIPAC to Wall Street have poured millions to buy this election.”
  • Bernie Sanders wrote “tell billionaires and their corporate PACs that no, they cannot buy our democracy.”
  • UAW wrote “The billionairess are coming for Jamaal Bowman because he stands up for the working class… they think they can buy off Congress.”

AIPAC Supports Genocide

Bowman and friends made clear that these wealthy racists are genocidal, coming for Black and Brown people in the U.S. and Israel.

Comments included:

  • “AIPAC’s attack campaign against us is breaking spending records every week… Our movement is scaring their pro-genocide, pro-Netanyahu, racist MAGA donors.”
  • “The Israeli government is committing a genocide and OUR taxpayer money is funding it. Why do we have billions to send to mass murder”
  • “This election is a working class educator… against a multimillionaire handpicked by MAGA to support genocide.”
  • “We won’t let AIPAC stop us from fighting for peace and justice.”
  • “Our struggles are all connected. The same evils harming our communities here are harming communities across the world.”
  • Comrade Rashida Tlaib shared “Palestinian liberation and Black liberation are interconnected. From Detroit to Cleveland to Gaza.”

AIPAC Is Coming After Black And Brown Communities

Bowman framed the primary race of two progressives, one Black who is extremist and anti-Israel, and the other White and pro-Israel, as an existential battle between peace-loving working class minorities against evil nefarious forces. It’s appalling and ridiculous as Latimer has decades of strong relationships and dozens of endorsements from Black and Brown politicians, and AIPAC is focused on Israel, not local race relations.

Comments included:

  • “AIPAC, a right-wing lobby… don’t care about us or our communities.”
  • “Big money doesn’t belong in our communities Reject AIPAC”
  • “Black and Brown communities have been left behind for too long. We don’t need more career politicians who only cater to their billionaire friends.”
  • Bowman retweeted “Thanks to funding from right-wing billionaires, AIPAC is targeting progressives of color”
  • The Working Families Party shared the article “No One Should Be Surprised a Black Politician Is the Canary in AIPAC’s Coal Mine”
  • Bowman added “The people are rising up against AIPAC and their republican billionaires. We won’t let them buy our communities in NY-16 or anywhere!”

Hiding In The Shadows

AOC made clear that these racist billionaires keeping minorities down are being funded by “dark money.”

Bowman retweeted AOC comments including:

  • “Dark money has spent the largest sum in history to unseat Jamaal Bowman… these lobbies don’t care about the Bronx and Westchester.”
  • “we rallied 1200 people in the Bronx to take on dark money”
  • “It’s time to fight back against AIPAC and their megadonors.”

The Alt-Left Against AIPAC

The far-left wing demonized a pro-Israel group as the epitome of evil: racist White supremacists who support genocide against minorities in the U.S. and Israel and who don’t care about anyone. They are agents who do not belong in the district or to have a voice in American politics.

Rep. Cori Bush said that these pro-Israel people “meddle in our Democratic elections,” meaning that they do not belong.

As such, they all ran under a banner of RejectAIPAC; to rally against a bipartisan organization that supports the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. To demonize the only Jewish state. To call anyone involved in pro-Israel activities pro-genocidal maniacs who should be cast from society. To strip the beleaguered Jewish State of all defenses.

No lobbying group is tarnished in such fashion by politicians. We don’t call Americans who are involved with the National Rifle Association or Planned Parenthood as “genocide supporters.” Elected officials do not slam teacher’s unions as “dark money” that “meddle” in the political process.

But the far-left has called open season on Jews loudly and repeatedly. It’s us versus them.

And it’s a completely manufactured lie. A vicious antisemitic campaign attempting to vilify Jews and push them from the public square.

We need to have a conversation about the vile antisemitism that is rife at woke colleges and among far-left politicians.

The Disproportionality of Hate Speech

The size and “power” of Jews is grossly inflated.

While Judaism is described as one of the three great monotheistic religions in the western world, it is a fraction of the size of Christianity and Islam. While Christianity and Islam are universalistic religions which forced or coerced conversions over centuries, Judaism is a particular religion with no such tenet. Consequently, Christians and Muslims number roughly 2.4 billion and 1.9 billion, respectively, spread around the world, while Jews number only about 15 million, found principally in Israel and the United States.

The scale differential is enormous. Consider that if only 10% of Muslims are radical antisemites willing to kill Jews, the 190 million Islamists would be 12 times the entire Jewish population.

There are about 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world, and only a single Jewish-majority country. Even in countries without a Muslim majority, the number of Muslims are growing quickly and dwarf Jews.

The result is that Muslims can voice antisemitic things without fear of reprisals. In Muslim-majority countries, the Quran and Islamic teachings are beyond reproach under blasphemy laws but not non-Islamic faiths. Jews and Judaism can be mocked without any repercussions.

Deborah Samuel was killed and burned by mob after she was accused of blasphemy at Shehu Shagari school in Sokoto, Nigeria

That is becoming more true in Western non-Muslim majority countries as well. People are terrified about drawing a picture of the Islamic prophet Muhammed out of fear of being killed, but will comfortably mock the small minority Jewish population and Judaism aloud publicly.

The sheer size of the Christian and Muslim population and number of Muslim-majority countries, coupled with fear of crossing radical extremists produces a disproportionate volume of hate speech. Whether at the U.N., social media or on college campuses, Islamic privilege insulates the large religions in a way that does not exist for Jews and Judaism.

Some resolutions have been put forward at global bodies which try to afford religious protections.

In 1992, the United Nations adopted the “Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities.” It was followed in 2011 with UN Human Rights Council 16/18 “Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against, persons based on religion or belief.” More recently in July 2023, the UNHRC passed a resolution introduced by Pakistan to prohibit “desecration of sacred books and religious symbols” after a Quran burning in Sweden. It’s a smattering of protections for people (in 1992), curtailing speech (in 2011) and protection of articles (in 2023).

Many of the sponsors of the resolutions have been Islamic countries. Their desire to protect the sanctity of Islamic holy texts and prophets globally is part of the reason there have been almost no incidents of radical Islamists burning Jewish holy books. Islamists also don’t insult Jewish prophets such as Moses, as Islamists also view them as prophets.

Instead, Islamists come for Jews and the Jewish State. They mock the Holocaust as a fair target of Jewish history, not of Judaism. They state that Jews have no history in the land of Israel, which, while undermining the basic text of the Bible, is viewed as only insulting Jews as people and not the religion itself.

This divide is another element in the disproportionality of hate speech: an intrinsic part of modern antisemitism is to divorce Jews from Judaism. It allows Judaism to be placed among the three great monotheistic religions, even while there are a paltry number of Jews compared to Christians and Muslims. The gap between the understanding of religion and people inflates the fictitious “power” of the handful of Jews, a source of significant hate speech.

On April 11, 2016, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon saidOne of the key warning signs of genocide is the spread of hate speech in public discourse and the media…. And every day, the seeds of future massacres and genocides are being planted… It is essential that Governments, the judiciary and civil society stand firm against hate speech and those who incite division and violence.”

The U.N., social media platforms and antisemitic politicians are themselves enabling and spreading antisemitic hate speech. Everyone can feel the temperature rising for Jews but few are willing to condemn the vile slander.

Jews are a small minority-minority facing a disproportionate number of hate crimes in the United States every year. They also face a disproportionate amount of hate speech, protected by free speech laws in the West, and indifference in the East and global South.

Deplatform Jamaal Bowman

If the voters of New York’s 16th Congressional district get out and vote their opinions in the June 25 Democratic primary, Rep. Jamaal Bowman will lose to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a seasoned politician who has delivered for his constituents over many decades.

Alas, even in defeat, it is possible for Bowman to continue his fanatical tirades, as left-wing media whitewashes his lunacy and praises his opinions.

On June 4, 2024, Bowman, a frequently invited guest on MSNBC, slammed his progressive primary opponent as a MAGA Republican out to destroy democracy, when Latimer actually has 35 years of liberal bona fide legislative history. Rather than correct Bowman for the audience, the hosts at MSNBC said “we need more time with him.”

It almost seemed to set the stage for Bowman to have a permanent spot on the network after he loses in the Democratic primary.

Bowman has a long history of race-baiting, lying and being a hypocrite. He is one of two sitting members of congress to be censured by a bipartisan majority. He mocked the rape of Jewish women in Israel to a cheering crowd.

Bowman is toxic for America. He should be permanently sidelined.

ACTION ITEMS

Sign this petition asking Planned Parenthood to pull their endorsement of Rape Denier” Bowman.

Email MSNBC at MSNBCTVinfo@nbcuni.com and tell them that any person whose first reaction to learning about the raping of women, shooting the elderly and burning families alive is to take to the streets to call the worst atrocity committed against Jews since the Holocaust a matter of “fake news” is not someone who deserves any airtime.

There have always been bad people in America. Now mainstream media and organizations are giving them a national platform to destroy the country.

Flagged As Fake News: Israelis Hand Out Sweets After Rafah Bombing

News of the killing of civilians spread quickly and masses gathered in squares. They honked horns and handed out sweets to celebrate the death of their enemies.

Actually, it looks like social media got the headline wrong in click bait: it was Palestinians celebrating the deliberate slaughter of Jews in a synagogue. In the celebrations they shouted “Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Millions of martyrs are marching to Jerusalem! Millions of martyrs are marching to Jerusalem!”

Regarding the attack in Rafah, Israel said it is investigating how a secondary fire started from its targeted strike on Hamas commanders. No Israeli crowds gathered to celebrate the death of innocent Arabs.

Hamas leader Yahwa Sinwar issued a call for peace. Actually, no. He called for all Palestinians to use whatever means they have at hand to kill Israeli civilians.

Palestinians celebrate killing of Israeli civilians

The stock images of Israelis celebrating senseless death made the rounds. Actually, no. The distribution of candy is when Arabs kills Jews.

The war between Israel and Palestinian Arabs is terrible. The celebration of the killing of innocents is a tragic deformity in Palestinian culture. One hopes it does not happen in Israel.

“Context” For Attacking People In The West Regarding Situation In The Middle East

Amid the current wave of Jew-hatred in the United States, there have been few incidents of violent attacks and murder thus far. But the vitriol from the socialist-jihadi alliance is still gathering steam as it tries to cement the foundation of the dehumanization of Jews by isolating and de-normalizing interactions with “Zionists.”

It is therefore worth looking at the United Kingdom which has experienced jihadi murder, with the recent sentencing of a Moroccan asylum seeker to life in prison for killing a stranger and attempted killing of an apostate, a man who converted from Islam to Christianity.

Ahmed Ali Alid murdered one person and attempted to kill a second in the United Kingdom in an effort to push the UK to change course on the Israeli-Hamas war

In her sentencing, British Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said (34:50):

“Those who genuinely seek refuge in this country will embrace the values we hold dear. These values include respect for the value of each person as an individual with freedom to choose their political opinions without intimidation, and whether to observe a particular faith without fear or oppression. These moral and ethical principles are based on the Judeo-Christian foundation of our social structures. Not all ideas are of equal quality or integrity, but religious and political freedom is something that generations have fought for.

“Given my findings of fact, the murder of Terrence Carney and the attempted murder of Javid Nouri were attempted to subvert those values and to lead our government to pursue a particular course concerning the situation in Palestine by force and fear rather than through democratic means. This means that those offenses were of extreme gravity, even within the context of murder.”

The judge sentenced the jihadi murderer to 45 years in prison because the context for the killing went beyond the particular crime, and was executed to undermine core Western principles of freedom for political opinions and to practice faith without fear or intimidation. People must work within democratic norms to influence governmental action, and not via “force and fear.”

In the United States, formerly “elite” university presidents failed to comprehend such notion. They said before a congressional committee about antisemitism on college campuses, that calling for the genocide of Jews may or may not go against university code of conduct depending on “context.” For the university presidents, “context” depends on whether a call to annihilate Jews is voiced generally, or directed at specific Jews, as if Jews would not be intimidated or fearful by mobs chanting for their annihilation amongst themselves.

People are free to hate; there is no law that jihadists must love Jews or vice versa. However, there are established laws regarding harassing, intimidating and discriminating against people for their beliefs. And it is precisely those laws which are being ignored by law enforcement today as it relates to targeting Jews, as universities cave to the pressure of the mob.

Some Jews are being held as hostages in terrorist tunnels of Gaza as pawns for the political-terrorist group Hamas to barter with the Jewish State to release terrorists. In the Jewish diaspora, the jihadi-socialist alliance is encircling Jews to force administrations and governments to abandon support for Israel and dismantle the Judeo-Christian foundations of their societies.

It’s a jihadi barter: ransoming Jews and Judeo-Christian values for short-term calm. All know it is a matter of “extreme gravity,” yet many leaders feel compelled to tender their values and their Jews, and to let the future address the malignancy.

Peacefully Calling For The Annihilation Of Jews

It is quite a bit of vile hypocrisy to watch the same “progressives” who denounced the alt-right marching “peacefully” in Virginia shouting “Jews will not replace us!”, defend woke and jihadi antisemites on college campuses.

At Harvard they yell “Intifada, intifada, come to America!” in a call for violent attacks against Zionists. Repeatedly.

The New York group Decolonize This Place, called to “globalize the intifada,” to come for all diaspora Jews.

They shouted in Times Square, “There is only one solution: intifada revolution!” while Palestinian Arab terrorists were still in Israel killing civilians. To cheers.

Anti-Zionists in New York City calling for the destruction of Israel as news of the massacre emerged

Leaders from WESPAC and other members of the socialist-jihadi unholy alliance stood in front of a Jewish day school calling to end Zionism and Zionists “by any means necessary.”

Not to be outdone, the Democratic Socialists of America’s “Anti-Zionist Resolution” was greeted with tremendous support by jihadi groups like the Palestinian Youth Movement which penned a letter “Do not allow Zionism to be normalized within your organization. We urge the DSA to truly demonstrate its commitments to revolutionary internationalism by upholding anti-Zionism.”

Extending the theme, people from the American Muslims for Palestine call for the destruction of both the “Zionist entity” and the United States as evil “imperial projects.”

Since the shouts to kill Jews were only using megaphones, the far-left argue that the chants were “peaceful” even though the rallying call is for the annihilation of a beleaguered minority-minority.

Hitler’s modern disciples are echoing his vile remarks from one hundred years ago when he took the stage at the Hofbrauhaus beer hall in Munich in a call to strip Jews of power, privilege and rights and distribute them to the working class. It laid the very foundation of the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe. Today’s “peaceful protesters” are calling for an encore.

The “peaceful protesters” crave a revolution to dismantle capitalism, and destroy Israel and the United States, coincidentally home to 95% of global Jewry between the two countries.

Shouting “fire” in a crowded theater is a criminal offense for causing imminent harm, while cross-burnings on Black property is illegal for causing intimidation and creating “a pervasive fear in victims that they are a target of violence.” How is shouting “kill the Jews” not condemned clearly and instead marketed as “peaceful protests” by far-left politicians like Rep. Jamaal Bowman?

ACTION ITEM

Volunteer and donate to Westchester County Executive George Latimer and vote for him on June 25th to replace Jamaal Bowman.

Meme Stocks And Hamas

Gamestop is a publicly-traded company with very poor prospects. Technology has changed the way people buy and play games, and retail stores are hurting all over the United States. The company has swapped management, closed stores and let people go but the business continues to flounder.

But not its stock price. As covered in the movie Dumb Money, masses of people decided to wage a war against professional capitalists and kept pushing the stock higher. Ignoring all fundamental principles, the trading horde opted for another capitalist principle, that things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Enough of them bound together to run the stock and push professional stock traders to capitulation.

Gamestop stock trading last five years showing dramatic spikes

The same phenomenon is happening with Gaza, the terrorist enclave ruled by the jihadi antisemitic genocidal group Hamas.

People are protesting on college campuses and the streets to protect Hamas from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Masses have willfully opted to ignore basic morality in the face of heinous barbarism committed by the group which has promised to repeat its barbarity.

Like “Hello Kitty” who directs the masses to buy a meme stock, the Iranian tools of CAIR, Democratic Socialists of America, Students for Justice in Palestine and others, rally mobs to shut their blind moral eyes, and side with an antisemitic death cult.

They have turned the game on itself using its own rules. Capitalism both believes in fundamental values as well as market pricing, just as western society values liberalism as well as free speech and assembly. In the frenetic broadcast social media world, clicks and retweets are empowering the latter to overwhelm normalcy.

Passions are no longer tethered to truth and decency. And this is BEFORE artificial intelligence (AI) gets mainstreamed which will usher a future in which people will be unable to differentiate the real from the manufactured.

We are entering a very dangerous state for mankind, in which bots, AI and the masses actually have the power to tear down society without conventional weapons. Depravity coupled with technology will breed anarchy, particularly in societies where trust has been trashed, as many have been in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The current axis of evil – China-Russia-Iran – are using anarchists on these shores to launch an insidious revolution, and our society just scrolls through X in bewilderment, rather than take actions to protect our values and our country.


In a world where facts are extraneous, we are only left with a clash of emotions.

Will we pass judgment solely on which party seems the most sympathetic because they feel the most injured? Does that foretell a future of balms for the pain, rather than solutions for the problems?

We are carrying our emotions across the threshold to deflower our intelligence. That is a marriage that will end poorly for civilization.

EYES WIDE SHUT, by First One Through, November 2016

The Diary Of Anne Frank Redux, In The United States Today

Anne Frank was a young teenager living in Amsterdam when the Nazis invaded Holland. She went into hiding in an attic with her family, fearful of genocidal maniacs who roamed the streets. For a few years, she kept a personal diary of her thoughts and how she and her family were living in hiding, before ultimately being discovered and sent to their deaths. Her diary has become an important document read by people around the world about a disgraceful period in human history which began with hatred, lawlessness and fear, and ultimately genocide.

People today – especially young people – live their lives online. With postings on Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok and Facebook, people share their thoughts and activities with friends and strangers.

So when hate and lawlessness come for Jewish youth in the United States today, anyone around the world can see and read the testimony. The brave came to congress to testify about their classmates calling for the genocide of Jews. The unbowed sued their universities for not providing a safe environment. The fighters came onto the public stage and recounted the scourge of antisemitism they experience going to classes.

But they are few. Most young Jews are trying to just experience high school and college. They let teachers’ snide comments about “Jewish baby killers” go by, lest they lose a grade. They don’t report their mezuzahs being torn down at their dorm, pretending they fell on their own. They hide in rooms and skip events and parties with peers who have revealed themselves to be Jew haters.

Some young and older Jews have quietly lobbied for change at schools and local governments. Others have opted for a less forward approach such as writing blogs.

This blog, First One Through, started ten years ago in May 2014 as the Obama Administration was failing to secure a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority as well as failing to end the Iranian nuclear program. It focused on the terrible media coverage, particularly of The New York Times, in excusing and ignoring any horrible action by the Democratic administration and Islamists, while sparing no vicious ink on the Jewish State.

Over time, the posts captured the media’s antisemitic bias, which included deliberately obfuscating the direct connection between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. It described America’s priorities in fighting racism while ignoring growing Jew hatred. It detailed the moral rot of the United Nations and America’s leading universities.

Over 1,500 articles by a single author over the decade.

While the Shoah Foundation has collected important testimonies of thousands of Holocaust survivors about their recollections of World War II, they are colored by history and age. Anne Frank’s diary gives us something unique: a vision of a world gone mad in real-time, without the perfect hindsight of how the story played out.

We are witnessing Anne Frank in students’ public testimonies and blogs penned by those who prefer the written word. It is imperative to heed their warnings and to take actions to help them and mass of Jewish students in hiding.

And preserve western civilization as we know it.

Meme Stocks And Hamas

Gamestop is a publicly-traded company with very poor prospects. Technology has changed the way people buy and play games, and retail stores are hurting all over the United States. The company has swapped management, closed stores and let people go but the business continues to flounder.

But not its stock price. As covered in the movie Dumb Money, masses of people decided to wage a war against professional capitalists and kept pushing the stock higher. Ignoring all fundamental principles, the trading horde opted for another capitalist principle, that things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Enough of them bound together to run the stock and push professional stock traders to capitulation.

Gamestop stock trading last five years showing dramatic spikes

The same phenomenon is happening with Gaza, the terrorist enclave ruled by the jihadi antisemitic genocidal group Hamas.

People are protesting on college campuses and the streets to protect Hamas from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Masses have willfully opted to ignore basic morality in the face of heinous barbarism committed by the group which has promised to repeat its barbarity.

Like “Hello Kitty” who directs the masses to buy a meme stock, the Iranian tools of CAIR, Democratic Socialists of America, Students for Justice in Palestine and others, rally mobs to shut their blind moral eyes, and side with an antisemitic death cult.

They have turned the game on itself using its own rules. Capitalism both believes in fundamental values as well as market pricing, just as western society values liberalism as well as free speech and assembly. In the frenetic broadcast social media world, clicks and retweets are empowering the latter to overwhelm normalcy.

Passions are no longer tethered to truth and decency. And this is BEFORE artificial intelligence (AI) gets mainstreamed which will usher a future in which people will be unable to differentiate the real from the manufactured.

We are entering a very dangerous state for mankind, in which bots, AI and the masses actually have the power to tear down society without conventional weapons. Depravity coupled with technology will breed anarchy, particularly in societies where trust has been trashed, as many have been in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The current axis of evil – China-Russia-Iran – are using anarchists on these shores to launch an insidious revolution, and our society just scrolls through X in bewilderment, rather than take actions to protect our values and our country.

In a world where facts are extraneous, we are only left with a clash of emotions.

Will we pass judgment solely on which party seems the most sympathetic because they feel the most injured? Does that foretell a future of balms for the pain, rather than solutions for the problems?

We are carrying our emotions across the threshold to deflower our intelligence. That is a marriage that will end poorly for civilization.
