five years here in that prison, for threatening on line, and ten years there for carrying a Palestine flag into a concert, and thirty years jail time for calling for the end of Israel . . . . ?
The threats, uh?
Graham, shown in a video clip of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Friday, acknowledged his host’s praise for military assistance valued at $38 billion since the outset of the conflict in February 2022.
“Now you are free,” Zelenskiy responded in the encounter. “And we will be.”
Graham replied: “And the Russians are dying.”
Zelenskiy then added: “Yes, but they came to our territory. We are not fighting on their territory.”

Peskov and other Russian officials directly linked Graham’s praise for the benefits of U.S. assistance to his comments on Russians dying in the conflict.
Speaking on July 7 at a meeting with leaders of the parliament, Putin accused Western allies of fueling the hostilities, charging that “the West wants to fight us until the last Ukrainian.”
He called it a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but added, “It looks like it’s heading in that direction,” and warned that everyone should understand that Russia “by and large hasn’t started anything seriously yet.”
In one of his strongest speeches since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Putin also directly challenged the Western allies backing Ukraine.
“Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can you say here? Let them try,” Putin said.
According to the complaint, Dai is accused of posting threatening messages on a Cornell online discussion site. He allegedly called for the deaths of Jewish people and in one post said “gonna shoot up 104 west,” which is a university dining hall that caters to Kosher diets and is located next to the Cornell Jewish Center on the Ithaca, N.Y., campus.
The complaint also alleges Dai threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus” and threatened to “stab and rape” Jewish students.
If convicted on the charge, Dai could face up to five years in prison along with a fine of up to $250,000.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed Tuesday that a person of interest was in the custody of New York State Police.
“Public safety is my top priority,” the governor said, “and I’m committed to combatting hate and bias wherever it rears its ugly head.”
Cornell vowed to maintain heightened security on campus, according to Joel Malina, vice president for university relations.

War criminal threats?
“It became evident to US officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign,” The New York Times reported on Monday.
“In private conversations with American counterparts, Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II – including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki – to try to defeat those countries,” the newspaper added.
Despite this horrifying knowledge, the Biden administration still adamantly opposes a ceasefire in Israel’s extermination campaign in Gaza.
[Talk about young, vapid, emotionless Eichmann’s = See those aids in front of the protestors and behind their Jewish Master? Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza raise their hands covered in red paint as Secretary of State Antony Blinken testifies at a Senate appropriations committee hearing to ask for billions more in military aid for Israel, on Capitol Hill, in Washington DC, 31 October.]
Ahh, that other Jew:
How well did Oppenheimer capture the U.S. decision to drop the bomb?
Here’s the funny thing about the decision to drop the bomb: there was no decision. What do I mean by that? It’s not like a bunch of men sat in a room and they said, “Are we going to drop the bomb or not?” That’s not the way it worked. There was a huge amount of momentum to drop that bomb no matter what. [The U.S.] spent $2 billion on it. In Oppenheimer’s case, he was torn because he worked so hard on it, [and] wanted to know that we could do it. There’s pride involved. There’s ambition. The movie captures that. But it’s not like they’re sitting in a room debating whether to do this. They’re going to do it. There’s a glancing impression that we could have gotten away with not dropping these bombs. That’s not true.
However, on 8 August 1945, two days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the day before the second bomb fell on Nagasaki, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. The news of impending war with the Soviet Union sent shockwaves through Japanese policy makers: just before he left Moscow for the Conference, Stalin had received a personal message from the Japanese Emperor, asking him to act as intermediary between Japan and the United States. The Soviet betrayal was an important factor in forcing Japan to surrender.

Look at this piece of shit mass murderer, BIPOC, WOKE:
“We are not putting any limits on how Israel uses weapons,” deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters. “That is really up to the Israeli Defense Force to use and how they are going to conduct their operations.”
+—+
Talk about threats and carrying out those threats:
The bomb that the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 had the explosive power of 15,000 tons of TNT.
Israel has deployed at least 12,000 tons of explosive on Gaza since 7 October, according to Hamas’ media office in Gaza.
Israel has admitted to dropping more than 6,000 bombs on tiny Gaza in just the first few days of its attack.
But Israel’s modern high explosives are almost certainly more powerful than TNT, so it’s very likely that what it has dropped already matches or exceeds the Hiroshima bomb.
The Israeli army dropped six one-ton bombs on a housing block in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza on Tuesday, killing and injuring close to 400 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
It’s not some idiot from Cornell making these threats =
Just who should be locked up for 5, 10, 40, 100 years?
“I say this to Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them. Hamas did this. You know Iran is behind it. Finish them.”
Of course this woman needs to be eliminated. Are you going to call the FBI on me?
‘Call for Genocide’
Palestinian author and journalist, Ramzy Baroud has described Haley’s comments as “an outright call for genocide.”
“Haley epitomizes the stereotypical politician, who would not mind igniting wars to rise to the top,” he said, and “here she smells an opportunity to rally rightwing extremists in the US behind her, purely for political reasons.”
“But to call on Netanyahu to carry out blatant genocide against Palestinians in the besieged, impoverished and most crowded region in the world, is horrific beyond belief,” he added.
“This matter must be pursued immediately by legal action by civil society groups to ensure that such genocidal calls are not repeated, neither by her nor any other US fanatics.”

So am I getting a call from the Felony Bureau of Incompetence, FBI, if I call for the obliteration of all politicians and all people calling for “finish them … finish them”? Former U.N. Ambassador NIKKI HALEY, who’s running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, said on Fox News this morning:
“This is sick, and we have to treat sick people the way they deserve to be treated and eliminate them.”
Such statements backed by powerful people from Israel’s most powerful ally raise concerns for civilians in the region: Israeli airstrikes demolished entire neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip today (10/11), with upwards of 1,000 Palestinians killed. Israel also cut off the entry of food, water, fuel and medicine into the region, and Gaza’s only power plant ran out of fuel today.
Israeli officials have also been bold in their statements, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson EMMANUEL NAHSHON today issuing a call for the “complete and unequivocal defeat of the enemy, at any cost.”
“This war is not only against Hamas,” he said, without explaining who else Israel views as an enemy.
Post Holocaust Gaza? This language is acceptable?
Lord Peter Ricketts, the former chair of the UK’s intelligence committee under Tony Blair and former national security adviser to David Cameron, went on BBC radio’s hugely influential Today program on 30 October to discuss what happens after Israel achieves its objectives in the Gaza Strip.
The presenter earnestly put forward the Israeli plan to “hold that territory without the population in it.”
The noble lord dissented on the grounds that the only place those people could be sent to is Egypt (allowing them back to their original towns and villages in what is now Israel obviously never crossed his mind), and no Egyptian regime, however subservient (not his words), could ever accept that.
Instead, he proposed that “moderate Arab countries could come together and promote some sort of stability” in a post-holocaust Gaza. There would “have to be some sort of moderate Arab coalition which could produce some moderate Palestinians who were willing to work with Israel.”
The BBC’s news coverage is descending into farce.
Watch the video about 7 October YouTube would rather you didn’t see —
The video draws on the reporting of The Electronic Intifada and The Grayzone to detail this growing body of evidence.
But it’s also important to note that most of this reporting is actually based on Israel’s own media reports, in this case often published only in Hebrew.
On 16 October, The Electronic Intifada revealed for the first time in English the story of Yasmin Porat, a survivor of the Nova music festival.
Porat and her partner fled the festival and sought shelter in Be’eri, a nearby Israeli settlement. But they and 10 others were taken prisoner by Palestinian fighters whose objective, she told Israeli radio, “was to kidnap us to Gaza. Not to murder us.”
But several hours later, Israeli special forces arrived, and immediately opened fire without negotiating, resulting in a bloodbath of Palestinian fighters and Israeli prisoners alike. Porat was unambiguous: “They eliminated everyone, including the hostages.”
You can watch Porat’s full interview – subtitled in English – with Israeli state broadcaster Kan in the video below, or read the full transcript in the original article by my colleagues Ali Abunimah and David Sheen.
Ahh, it’s okay to be a four star gutless wonder general to call for WAR on 1.2 billion people? How many years in prison will this human stain get?
A four-star Air Force general sent a memo on Friday to the officers he commands that predicts the U.S. will be at war with China in two years and tells them to get ready to prep by firing “a clip” at a target, and “aim for the head.”
In the memo sent Friday and obtained by NBC News, Gen. Mike Minihan, head of Air Mobility Command, said, “I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025.”
Air Mobility Command has nearly 50,000 service members and nearly 500 planes and is responsible for transport and refueling.
Minihan said in the memo that because both Taiwan and the U.S. will have presidential elections in 2024, the U.S. will be “distracted,” and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have an opportunity to move on Taiwan.

Do I get jail time for calling each and every uniformed mercenary a legit target for anyone out there, sicarios or any punk, to go to their kids’ soccer games to take them out for the good of humanity?
Do these anti-China people get jail time?
Besides Ohio, anti-China rhetoric has been used by politicians such as Republican California U.S. Rep. Michelle Park Steel, a Korean American who has labeled her Democratic opponent Jay Chen, a Taiwanese American, as a communist and “China’s choice” in a heavily Vietnamese neighborhood.
There has been an AAPI-led protest against Steel’s campaign last week and a community co-signed letter denouncing her claims.
“We didn’t expect this kind of modern-day McCarthyism and red-baiting to dominate the rhetoric in this election, nor did we expect this kind of sowing of hate and divisiveness among local AAPI communities as a campaign strategy embraced by a congressional member, who is herself an immigrant from Korea,” according to the letter shared with Nikkei Asia. “No AAPI community will condone such shameless practice. It must stop.”
Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania also used the same tactic. He released an ad in March labeling his Republican primary opponent David McCormick as a “China Bro.”
Ryan, Vance, Steel and Oz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes, these people all need bats to the heads or botulism to the brains. Do I get jail time for those intimations? Just a thought experiment, right? A trial balloon for one of my novel characters, okay?
Formation of an Anti-Chinese Consensus among US “Think Tanks”: From D. Trump to J. Biden:
This article is dedicated to the factor of think tanks in the US foreign policy towards China. A rapid change in attitudes to China within the US political elite is recorded, which indirectly reflects the influence of think tanks on it. Based on the analysis of reports of leading think tanks, the evolution of their views on China is demonstrated. The main conclusion is that the think tanks support an anti-Chinese consensus, strengthened during the presidency of D. Trump, and advocate stricter measures against China. Overall, the American expert community sticks to the same approaches to China and gives approximately similar recommendations to the US government.
There is every reason to believe that China has come to be perceived by American elites as a direct and primary threat to US national interests. The American political establishment has abandoned the premise that interaction with competitors and their inclusion in international institutions and global trade will inevitably turn them into bona fide players and reliable partners. The old paradigm has been replaced by a new consensus, backed by the presidential administration, both parties, the military establishment, think tanks, and the mainstream media, which suggests that China is a threat to the United States, that the US China policy has failed, and that Washington needs a new, tougher containment strategy for Beijing.
