$31-34 billion from USA tax coffers to the Jewish State of Murder/Rape/Starvation/ Maiming since Oct. 2023???? . . . But there’s hundreds of billions more flowing in, man . . .

First, my fucking hero:

CIA agent Felix Rodriguez left, and Bolivian soldiers pose with Che Guevara moments before his execution, Bolivia, 9 October 1967…

This is one of the most studied photographs from the Cold War in Latin America. The man in the center had gone from revolutionary guerrilla fighter in Cuba to a symbol of global anti-establishment revolt. His capture in Bolivia was the result of coordinated intelligence support and local military operations. He was wounded, captured, interrogated, and ultimately executed the next day, but this photograph is the last image of him alive.

The shot feels at once casual and chilling because the men around him treat it almost like a trophy moment. The Cold War was not only fought by nuclear doctrine. It was fought in the jungle, the mountains, and small villages where ideology was enforced bullet by bullet and body by body.

After the execution, his hands were severed and preserved for identification records before the rest of his remains were hidden in an unmarked grave until they were found decades later.

Apple has paid nearly $2 billion for a ‘pre-speech’ tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza.

And Apple has paid this money, the second-biggest deal in its history, for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues, and whose website is a single page containing 15 words.

The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors that map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken.

They call it silent speech.

Or pre-speech.

Oh, the billions flow . . .

Last year, Google bought Israeli cybersecurity Wiz for $32 billion, which, at 64 times Wiz’s annual sales, was widely seen as an inflated price and far in excess of the sales-to-valuation ratio for similar companies.

At this price, however, Israel received a huge $5 billion tax windfall. At the time Zionists crowed it would help the country buy more warplanes and missiles to commit genocide.

A few days after the Q.ai deal, the head of neurotechnology at Israel’s directorate of defense research and development, the country’s equivalent to the US’s DARPA programme, gave her first-ever interview to Israeli media. In the interview she referenced Q.ai and said the Israeli military is working on similar technology. The US has a DARPA project known as Silent Talk which is also working to develop pre-speech sensing and non-verbal control technologies.

Once the technology is developed, and pre-speech established as a legitimate biological human function, how far behind will pre-crime be?

“I’ve had protestors at the Capitol about it,” Michaelson Jenet said. “I still believe it’s one of best things I did.”

Michaelson Jenet not only spoke publicly about her son’s mental health struggles, but her own. She received vicious attacks from some Coloradans but says she doesn’t regret opening up.

“I think that being authentic and being vulnerable are very important leadership traits,” she said.

She now hopes to be a vehicle for change. She is leaving to take a job at the David Merage Foundation for Confronting Antisemitism.

“I absolutely needed to do this,” the state senator said. “I thought, ‘This is the time; this is the time that I need to stand up for my community and my Jewish community, and take the leadership that I have learned in this role and put it to use to stamp out hate.’”

Yep, from child abuse to mind warping.

Here, she’ll be tapping in with her Talmudist warped thinking with the other Jewish Mind Warping Cunts: Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

The department has sent Google, Meta and other companies hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or comment on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, officials and tech workers said.

• The Vulcan Salute: This split-fingered hand gesture was adapted from the Priestly Blessing (Birkat Kohanim) Nimoy witnessed as a child in an Orthodox synagogue. The shape represents the Hebrew letter Shin (ש), symbolizing Shaddai (Almighty God).

In a move bound to draw opposition from the Orthodox establishment, feminist activists are planning to hold a first-ever priestly blessing ceremony at the Wailing Wall for and by women. And the estate of the late Leonard Nimoy is helping fund it.

The event, scheduled to be held during the Passover holiday, is being organized by Women of the Wall, the multi-denominational prayer group that holds a monthly prayer service at the Jewish holy site. The blessing will be led by women who trace their lineage to the priestly class known as the “cohanim.”

For the first time in global legal history, a country has recognized the legal rights of insects, and it is the stingless bees of the Peruvian Amazon that are taking the first step toward a new model of coexistence between nature and the law

Fucking HELL: Peru’s position regarding the conflict in Gaza has been characterized by a, at times, cautious diplomatic approach that contrasts with stronger actions taken by some of its South American neighbors, while simultaneously taking concrete legal steps against individuals involved in the conflict. While Peru has generally voted in favor of humanitarian relief for Palestine at the United Nations and called for a ceasefire, it has not officially adopted the term “genocide” to describe Israel’s actions, unlike countries such as Colombia or Bolivia.

In the Peruvian Andes, on Pukamoqo hill, stands a 26-foot-tall statue of Jesus Christ, named the Protector of Cuzco. It was a gift given to Cuzqueños by a group of Palestinian refugees who had fled to Peru during World War II, as a symbol of gratitude for the community’s acceptance. The first stone was laid on June 24, 1944, coinciding with Inti Raymi, a Quechua celebration of the sun god Inti. It was the first public Inti Raymi celebration since the Spanish colonial government had outlawed the practice in the late 16th century. It has been celebrated every year since.

In 2023, both communities– indigenous Peruvians and Palestinians– faced a sharp escalation in violence from the governments that rule them. Between late December 2022 and March 2023, nearly 70 indigenous dissidents were murdered by the Peruvian police and armed forces at protests across the country. As a result, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte would be investigated for genocide and crimes against humanity. For the bloodshed, the public christened her “Dina Asesina.”

Peru recognized Palestinian statehood in 2011. Like most of its fellow United Nations member states, Peru regularly votes against Israeli occupation and in favor of humanitarian relief for Palestine. As recently as June 12, 2025, the Peruvian delegation voted in favor of a permanent and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.

Four days later, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese released a report on the economy of genocide in Gaza, naming Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace as two of the biggest benefactors in the ongoing genocide. Just two days after that, FAME (Fábrica de Armas y Municiones del Ejército,) Peru’s state-owned munitions company, began a private international competition to determine a strategic partner for their artillery systems. The competitors were Israel’s Elbit Systems, Turkey’s Roketsan, and China’s Norinco, with Elbit emerging as the winner on July 14, 2025.

If signed, this contract would undoubtedly make Peru a party to two genocidal crimes– its own and Israel’s. As Albanese wrote, “International partnerships providing weaponry and technical support have enhanced Israeli capacity to perpetuate apartheid and, recently, to sustain its assault on Gaza.”

Jews infect EVERYTHING: The Nasser Hospital Complex has condemned aid group Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, for pulling out of operations, alleging the presence of armed men and weapons at the facility.

In a statement on Sunday, the hospital said the MSF allegation was “false, unsubstantiated, and misleading” and “posed a serious risk to a protected” civilian medical facility – one of southern Gaza’s last functioning large hospitals.

“Such statements are not neutral. They foreseeably endanger Nasser Hospital Complex, serving over one million civilians, by undermining its protected status under international humanitarian law. MSF is aiding in manufacturing consent for attacks against the hospital,” it said.

Genocidal WHORES.

Fucking Mel Brooks and Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld all rolled up into these fucking JEWS: Genocide Pornography.

Meet the settlers of Instagram, the photogenic West Bank women documenting pastoral life

As the war of opinion rages on amid an Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire, these influencers beyond the Green Line seek to win hearts and minds while documenting their rustic lifestyles.

“We, States of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom condemn the approval by the Israeli security cabinet of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank,” according to a joint statement.

“We recall our clear opposition to any form of annexation and to the expansion of settlement policies,” the countries said, adding: “We call on Israel to reverse this decision, as well as the expansion of settlements.”

“We are resolute in our support of Palestinians’ right of self-determination. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on the Two-State solution.”

Crypto ZioChristianity on the march: Trump has chipped away at the long-standing wall between church and state. It’s just the beginning. What’s good for the Jewish vermin in Occupied Palestine, Good for the Lobotomized Goy in the UnUnited Shekels of AmeriKKKa.

And you thought there were good guys with fucking white hats on. Motherfucking ACAB.

Homeland Security watchdogs who were forced out of their jobs warn that the Trump administration’s “alarming” rush to deputize hundreds of local police departments to enforce federal immigration law – while gutting independent oversight – risks “a threat to civil rights nationwide.”

When the experienced civil rights watchdogs had their jobs cut last year by the Trump administration, they were in the process of scrutinizing the controversial federal program allowing local police to conduct federal immigration enforcement work, an investigation by the Guardian can reveal.

The vexed program gives local, county and state law enforcement officials unusual powers to detain, arrest and interrogate immigrants and turn them over to federal immigration authorities – a system critics say is open to abuse and risks alienating communities from local police.

[Joe Arpaio and Donald Trump in 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona]

One of the most striking examples was in Maricopa county, Arizona. Federal investigators in 2011 found Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his agency were violating constitutional civil rights by racially profiling Latinos, and illegally detaining people. After a lengthy lawsuit, Arpaio was convicted in 2017 for refusing to stop his anti-immigration patrols. Trump pardoned Arpaio soon after.

Following the Arpaio civil rights controversies, among others, the task force model was discontinued in 2012, leaving intact other 287(g) partnerships allowing local officials to hold immigrants for ICE.

[Fucking White Albino Ghouls, man, it never ceases to amaze me how DNA warped the fucking supposed “white” race is.]

The U.S. ambassador to NATO on Saturday expressed the need for “strong allies, not dependents” in response to a question about NATO defense spending contributions at the Munich Security Conference.

The Czech Republic has refused to increase the country’s defense spending above 2 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), in violation of NATO’s new requirements for its member states to contribute 5 percent of their GDP to core defense spending by 2035.

This is the fucking carnival cunt of a country: Two golfers in Washington, D.C., sued the federal government on Friday to try to prevent the Trump administration from overhauling a more than 100-year-old public golf course, accusing the administration of violating environmental laws and polluting a park that is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The suit is the latest in a series of legal battles challenging President Donald Trump’s extraordinary efforts to put his mark on public spaces in the nation’s capitol, including shuttering the Kennedy Center.

That’s right, the Jews are losing. In 2025 Elbit Systems more than doubled its previous annual sales for its Laser Target Designator (LTD) systems, reflecting rising demand as militaries across the world increasingly rely on precision-guided targeting and networked battlefield systems.

LTDs use laser beams to precisely mark a target, allowing compatible weapons to lock onto and strike it accurately. All six of Elbit’s LTD systems for use on land and in the air “meet NATO laser‑coding standards, enabling smooth coordination among coalition forces,” the company stated.

“Targeting with laser designators is something that takes place a lot on the modern battlefield,” an Elbit official told Defense & Tech by The Jerusalem Post, pointing to the growing need to strike mobile targets and fleeting target opportunities. “This is the main advantage of using a laser designator.”

It’s the old Oppen-Monster-Heimer thing: fucking can’t stop these cocksuckers once the genie is out of the fucking bottle?

Experts are already warning against technology going out of control. Researchers with some of the most prominent AI companies have quit their jobs in recent weeks and publicly sounded the alarm about fast-paced technological development posing risks to society.

The latest resignation was from Mrinank Sharma, an AI safety researcher at Anthropic, the AI company that has positioned itself as more safety cautious than rivals Google and OpenAI. It developed the popular bot, Claude.

In a post on X on February 9, Sharma said he had resigned at a time when he had “repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions”.

The researcher, who had worked on projects identifying AI’s risks to bioterrorism and how “AI assistants could make us less human”, said in his resignation letter that “the world is in peril”.

“We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences,” Sharma said, appearing to imply that the technology was advancing faster than humans can control it.

Later in the week, Zoe Hitzig, an AI safety researcher, revealed that she had resigned from OpenAI because of its decision to start testing advertisements on its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT.

“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife,” she wrote in a New York Times essay on Wednesday. “Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”

Separately, since last week, two cofounders and five other staff members at xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company and developers of the X-integrated chatbot, Grok, have left the company.

Suleyman added that machines are only months away from reaching AGI status – which, for example, would make machines capable of debugging their own code and refining results themselves.

“White-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person, most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months,” he said.

Mercy Abang, a media entrepreneur and CEO of the nonprofit journalism network, HostWriter, told Al Jazeera that journalism has already been hit hard by AI use, and that the sector is going through “an apocalypse”.

“I’ve seen many journalists leave the profession entirely because their jobs disappeared, and publishers no longer see the value in investing in stories that can be summarised by AI in two minutes,” Abang said.

“We cannot eliminate the human workforce, nor should we. What kind of world are we going to have when machines take over the role of the media?”

Oppenheimer: the banality of evil and self-portrayal of Hollywood moral bankrupcy, it’s a tale told by an idiot.

How to make a movie about one of history’s greatest war crimes, which is really the only reason the vast majority of the moviegoing audience gives a fig about that man in the first place, and glossing over the deed itself and its effects while delving endlessly about trivialities like his sex life, meaningless political discussions, stupid self-aggrandizing quotes from a raving megalomaniac and petty personal vendettas. We are left with the portrayal of a soulless man, a monster, an empty shell, with whom paradoxically we are expected to sympathize.

Depicting a war criminal (by his own admision made in private, although he never had the guts to confess it in public) as a “tormented genius”, as if he was Vincent van Gogh or somebody else like that. Had this movie be made in 1972 Don McLean would have called his song “Oppie” instead of “Vincent”. The movie is abysmally campy in his turgid sanitization attempt of a irreedemable historical figure.

The supreme irony of giving at the same ceremony the best international fillm to a movie about Rudolf Höss, while failing to notice the close paralels between his story and that of Oppenheimer. Casting a light over Hollywood monstruos hypocrisy and utter lack of self-awareness.

At the core of the film, USA phallic obsession with big guns and big bombs, as well as their customary glamorization and sanitization of war, bombings, shootings, explosions and wanton destruction.

The idea of calling this monster “American Prometheus” is of such flabbergasting stupidity and tastelessness, and the usual USA megalomania, as if the atomic bomb was a precious heavenly-sent gift, while ignoring the more obvious appropiate parallel with the myth of Faust is another proof of their lack of self-awareness.

All form, no substance. At the end the famous quote by Shakespeare could be applied to this movie: “ A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”.

Fucking Dumb as fucking Lemmings, Goyim.

In farm bill, GOP takes another swing at pesticide protections loathed by MAHA

Yep, the good guys over at fossil fuel-plastics: Polluting the environment for all eternity—and still sticking our heads in the sand by Hilde Ervik, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Plastic pollution is more than just trash on the beach. Marine plastic waste releases PFAS and heavy metals into the water of small freshwater lakes and ponds, at levels exceeding the threshold limits. Birds and animals drink this water. PFAS are “forever chemicals” that threaten both the natural environment and human health.

Norway is home to fantastic natural places that provide us with outdoor recreation and learning. Everyone says they want to protect the environment, but do they actually do anything? The reality is brutal: the environment is being degraded, species are disappearing, and populations are declining sharply. This does not just happen by itself—it is the result of human choices.

Before an environmental problem becomes acute, we call it an environmental challenge. At that point, we still have the opportunity to act. One of the biggest environmental challenges of our era is plastic pollution. Plastic that ends up in the ocean and along the coast does not disappear—it breaks down into microplastics and remains in the environment. It threatens marine life, birds, animals and, ultimately, us humans. It is not a problem that we can keep putting off—it must be solved. Now.

Every year, more than 19 million metric tons of plastic make their way into rivers, lakes and oceans. The experience of volunteers and professional clean-up organizations is clear: large volumes of marine plastic waste are cleaned up from coastal areas, but more continues to flow in from the sea and is washed up onto the land. This process continues year after year.

We are facing a “compound interest” effect in the amount of marine litter in the coastal landscape. With the current system, however, neither volunteers nor professional organizations are able to deal with what is already in the environment or what will continue to be added. This will be a problem for many decades to come.

[Soldiers select their taco toppings out of gleaming, blue Le Creuset cookware at 42 Bistro, the Army’s first privately run dining facility, at Fort Hood, Texas, on Feb. 12, 2026.

Faggotry a la Uniformed Mercenaries: Excitement and a little confusion filled the main atrium of Fort Hood’s new privately run dining facility Thursday as soldiers got their first look — and taste — at the future of Army dining. With four stations lining the walls and a self-serve, pay-by-the-weight salad bar down the center, diners can choose from burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches, deli sandwiches and wraps, pizza and pasta, or smoothies and blended bowls. A rotating station featured chicken or beef tacos with rice and beans out of gleaming, blue Le Creuset cookware.

[Pfc. Allen Nguyen and Spc. James Reeves use an ordering kiosk at 42 Bistro, the Army’s first privately run dining facility, at Fort Hood, Texas, on Feb. 12, 2026.]

“The food quality is higher,” said Spc. Mitchell Wilcox, who was eating at 42 Bistro for the second day in a row. “They’ve got things I didn’t even know about. You can get tofu on the salad bar.” His tray held a salad piled high with toppings — such as eggs, sliced peppers and cucumbers — a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese, and a protein smoothie. It cost $23, which is higher than the $15.86 available through the meal entitlement he’s afforded for living in the barracks. But he was able to put some of his breakfast and dinner money toward the larger lunch meal. Each day, barracks soldiers’ meal entitlements allow them to access up to $39 in food broken down over three meals.

After a soldier pays, a receipt shows how much of the entitlement, referred to as “freedom dollars,” was spent and how much remains. This can also be spent in a traditional dining facility so long as they have not already dipped into funds allocated for that meal.

Freedom Turbines: Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is continuing to fuel its datacenters with unpermitted gas turbines, an investigation by the Floodlight newsroom shows. Thermal footage captured by Floodlight via drone shows xAI is still burning gas at a facility in Southaven, Mississippi, despite a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance.

[xAI’s Colossus 2 datacenter in Southaven, Mississippi, powers the company’s controversial chatbot, Grok.]

State regulators in Mississippi maintain that since the turbines are parked on tractor trailers, they don’t require permits. However, the EPA has long maintained that such pollution sources require permits under the Clean Air Act.

Any exemption for these machines “could leave these engines subject to no emission standards at all”, the agency wrote in a January final ruling.

Note: Don’t believe a fucking word Amazon states. Sorry to subject you to these fucking plastic robots, but Good Morning AmeriKKKa shows it like it isn’t? Amazon’s smart doorbell maker Ring has terminated a partnership with police surveillance tech company Flock Safety.

The announcement follows a backlash that erupted after a 30-second Ring ad that aired during the Super Bowl featuring a lost dog that is found through a network of cameras, sparking fears of a dystopian surveillance society.

But that feature, called Search Party, was not related to Flock. And Ring’s announcement doesn’t cite the ad as a reason for the “joint decision” for the cancellation.

Ring and Flock said last year they were planning on working together to give Ring camera owners the option to share their video footage in response to law enforcement requests made through a Ring feature known as Community Requests.

“Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated,” Ring’s statement said.

Judge Orders ICE to Let Clergy Give Communion to Detained Migrants on Ash Wednesday

A Catholic nonprofit and several clergy said immigration authorities had unlawfully blocked its members for months from providing pastoral care at an ICE facility in Broadview, Ill.

“The whole world has seen the injustices of our federal immigration system,” Father Leandro Fossá, a member of the nonprofit, said. “We are eager to see how the federal government responds to the injunction and restores the fundamental religious rights of people in detention to receive pastoral visits, rights that had been honored previously.”

God’s chosen people:

Services cut. Staff laid off. New Trump cuts hit schools in 11 states, D.C.

Halfway through the academic year, the administration canceled $168 million in community schools grants.

MAGA MAGA MAGA.

The Education Department canceled 19 of roughly 70 ongoing five-year Community Schools grant awards, according to a list obtained by Education Week.

Those 19 grants—spread across 11 states and the District of Columbia—amounted to nearly $61 million in funds that were due to flow Jan. 1, and another $107 million that was due to flow by 2028.

The loss of those funds could lead to layoffs for dozens of public school educators nationwide within weeks. In Idaho alone, 60 community schools coordinators across 47 rural school sites have salaries funded in part or in full with the now-excised grant funds.

[Her wealth is primarily tied to her husband, Vince McMahon, whose net worth is also estimated at $3.2 billion. While the couple is reportedly separated, they remain legally married, and their fortunes are often cited collectively due to their shared founding of WWE and holdings in its parent company, TKO Group Holdings. ]

“These schools are the beating heart of their rural communities,” said Laura Roghaar, project manager for the Idaho Coalition of Community Schools. “To invest in them in the way they deserve, and then suddenly disinvest in them, is wild.”

We gotta end with more Jew News, the virus that is Judaism, whichever fucking angle you want to sit on those pointy fucking stars of david . . .

Jeffrey Epstein’s Sinister Shadow Over West Asia

Thiel was well-placed to know this was the Obama administration’s strategy. Birthed with seed funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm, Palantir made vast sums serving as the War On Terror’s “Secret Weapon”. It was used to hunt “bad guys” at war with the US, and Israel – the key beneficiary of West Asia being set on fire during this period. Not coincidentally, the Zionist entity has for years employed a variety of Palantir products. Thiel commented in July 2024, the Gaza Holocaust well-underway:

“My bias is to defer to Israel.”

That month, Barak’s wife emailed Epstein while visiting New York demanding an “urgent short meeting” between Epstein and her husband. One day later, Donald Trump withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement, in favour of a “maximum pressure” campaign. In July 2018, Barak’s private surveillance firm Toka broke cover publicly for the first time, announcing it had raised $12.5 million in seed funding from investors including venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Andreessen Horowitz invested in several ventures also backed by Jeffrey Epstein, including CoinBase. It is unknown whether Epstein invested in Toka, although his interest in such a company would be clear. The firm is stacked with former Israeli cyber spies, and has patented technology capable of locating security cameras and webcams, hacking into them, then altering their live feeds without trace. Such a resource removes any need for real-life individuals to oversee “honey trap” operations, and targets to take the bait.

[Ashkenazi Jewish descent. While the firm itself, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is a private venture capital entity rather than a religious organization, its leadership and investment activities frequently intersect with the Jewish community and Israel.]

[Benjamin Abraham Horowitz^[5] was born in London, England and raised in Berkeley, California, the son of Elissa Krauthamer and conservative writer and policy advocate David Horowitz. He was one of the few white players on the Berkeley High football team.^[6] He is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Horowitz’s great-grandparents were Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire who arrived in the U.S. in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.^]

Ben Horowitz has publicly endorsed Donald Trump and — in partnership with co-founder Marc Andreessen — plans to give a “significant” amount of money to his campaign. Felicia appears to be on board with the decision, retweeting her husband’s Trump endorsement and scrubbing her social media of all photos with liberal politicians. Through May 2024, she has donated 11 times to Republican politicians and PACs, including Trump’s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance.

How the Horowitzes arrived at this point, however, is a bit of a mystery. For close friends and longtime followers of the couple, the astonishing about-face has left them scratching their heads.

Both had been Democratic donors for decades, pledging nearly $300,000 combined between 2008 and 2023 to candidates on the left, including Barack Obama, Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, and Sen. Cory Booker. Felicia donated $1,000 to Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign; Ben donated more than $33,000 to Obama-related entities in 2015.

The couple’s philanthropic foundation, the Horowitz Family Foundation, gave more than $1 million to the American Jewish World Service, a human rights organization with which Felicia traveled to advocate for sex workers in Cambodia and the transgender community in Uganda, and to the T.D. Jakes Foundation, a self-described “DEIA organization” (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility) founded by a prominent Texas pastor. The foundation has also given more than $500,000 to organizations associated with anti-recidivism and prison outreach.

[Felicia Horowitz (née Wiley) is a Black woman. She was born and raised in Compton and Carson, California]

Felicia took a special interest in Glide, a nondenominational church in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district known for its services for homeless people and its commitment to social justice. Horowitz donated nearly $1 million to the organization and was a familiar face at both its prep kitchen and its star-studded galas. In 2016, she received one of the church’s top awards, named after late co-founder Janice Mirikitani, which honors a “local change agent who embodies Janice’s spirit and commitment to transforming lives.” Mirikitani and her husband, the late Glide co-founder Cecil Williams, were also guests at the Horowitz’s 2018 CEO BBQ.

Fucking Jews, man . . . .

Felicia: About 10 years ago, I met Ruth Messinger for the first time. She was impressive. She was CEO of the American Jewish World Service (AJWS) and before that she served 12 years in the New York City Council and 8 years as the Manhattan borough president. Among her numerous accolades, she has been named one of the 50 most influential Jews of the year. She was super accomplished and I was a woman from Compton trying to raise my kids. To this day, I really don’t know why she singled me out and focused her attention my way, but she said: “I want to be your mentor. I want you to join me in my quest for Tikkun Olam — to repair the world. I want you to see the world through my eyes.” Say what? Me? Compton shorty? Repair the world? I’m trying to get my daughter Sophia to dance class. I am not a thought leader. I am not even Jewish. You must have the wrong person.

Ruth was not hearing my hesitation. She pressed further. “Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel said, ‘An honest estimation of the moral state of our society will disclose: Some are guilty, but all are responsible.’” She then said: “’Never again’” cannot be reserved for only Jews.” Ahem, are you listening, Ruth? I am NOT Jewish.

Ultimately, after several months of this pursuit, I relented and agreed to go on a trip with her in 2010. Ruth selected a journey to Uganda to advocate for the rights of LGBTI people and sex workers. OK, I was not sure that I was signed up for this. I had never even met a sex worker let alone advocated for one, but Ruth was insistent, so I went.

I Want You to See the World through My Eyes

More on the money thieves:

A recurrent phenomenon in the newly-released documents, emails and text messages is Epstein and his grand global nexus seeking to profit from Western-inflicted misery the world over. On March 18th 2014, in the Maidan coup’s immediate, violent aftermath, he emailed Ariane de Rothschild, a French banker and CEO of the Edmond de Rothschild Group since March 2023, due to her marrying into the famous, powerful Jewish family. Epstein was exhilarated. “Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunites [sic],” he wrote.

De Rothschild was drained after a “very long day sitting on bank board,” but delighted to hear from her close friend. “Miss our talks and hope you’re well,” she gushed. “Will be at home tomorrow night, will you be free? And let’s discuss Ukraine.” The “opportunities” Epstein perceived in the shattered post-coup country, as it plunged into Western-sponsored civil war, could’ve ranged from an untapped reservoir of young girls and vulnerable women, to pillaging the country’s vast resources.

In July 2011, Epstein emailed associate Greg Brown, declaring “the Libyans now are legit, but need real help,” adding “they must be careful there will be many claims on that money.” He was referring to Tripoli’s frozen overseas assets, seized by Western powers in March that year, after the country plunged into insurrectionary violence. Epstein fired off this missive right when NATO’s bombing of Libya graduated from striking government forces to actively supporting rebel advances, as foreign fighters closed in on the country’s capital.

Brown excitedly responded, “there are already $80 billion in frozen funds/assets internationally,” and perhaps “three to four times this number in sovereign, stolen and misappropriated assets.” He was working with MI6 and Mossad veterans to “identify stolen assets and get them recovered.” If they could “identify/recover 5% to 10% of these monies and receive 10% to 25% as compensation,” the Anglo-Israeli private spying network could reap “billions of dollars”.

Americans are obsessed with public safety. AI companies believe they have the solution.

Of course, Whitney….

Minority Report?

Herman DeBoard is the founder and CEO of Airez, a small AI start-up pitching a revolutionary real-time security system that uses AI neural networks to spot potential crime.

Real-life ‘Minority Report’: AI hopes to stop crime before it starts

---

---

I posed the Minority Report comparison to DeBoard. “That’s pretty close to what we’ve created here,” he said, although they normally get compared to Skynet, the malevolent superintelligence system from the Terminator series. He said PreCrime’s human overseers in Minority Report, who have to vote on whether or not to act on a crime ball, mirror the agentic system they’ve set up.

Here’s how it actually works: A client, say a Vegas casino or an NFL stadium, reaches out to Airez about streamlining their security systems. The Airez team runs a non-invasive pilot, which involves the client sending over facility sensor data (mainly video footage, but eventually audio recordings, security systems, environmental or biometric information, you name it), which is then run through the Airez model. Airez scans through the information, flagging any pieces of data that stand out as anomalous.

“We give you contextual stories of what’s happening. Everything from an emotional evaluation of the people involved, how tall they are, what their cultural makeup is, what they’re wearing, to what direction they’re walking and what they actually did.” They’re looking at how the environment around them changed too, DeBoard explains. “We paint these pictures in little 60-second clips, and then we send them to a security operations center or someone who’s monitoring this.”

To paraphrase DeBoard: Airez is merely looking for things that are out of place.

If the facility likes what Airez finds and signs on, the company launches a full integration, connecting the Airez software and dashboard to the facility’s existing security system. The company can provide additional sensors, like infrared cameras or Airez’s multi-patented FoRi (Fiber Optic Ring Interferometer) system, which captures vibrations or audio signals and determines precise geographic locations. It was designed by a former lead scientist at Halliburton and expands on existing fiber optic tech for listening to oil leaks in the ocean — it’s mainly deployed in parking garage pilots, for now. Airez is ready to start monitoring right away, no acclimation period needed.

She’s merely looking for things that are out of place.

The AI is a “true agentic AI system,” DeBoard says, utilizing real machine learning built on multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs). He explains it as a proprietary blend of in-house and external models that form a super-powered GPT with contextual intelligence, fusing data from cameras, sensors, and external feeds. The company is currently running active pilot programs with three transportation networks — an interstate public transit provider and two inner-city public transit systems — and an international oil and gas company.

He speaks of “her” — DeBoard describes the AI as female — with a sense of awe.

“This is going to sound a little creepy. It does to me, and I’m the creator, but she’s currently cognitive,” DeBoard says, insisting he’s not delusional. “She has the five senses. She even can smell. We do gas sensors and ammonia sensors. And then she makes sense of it in a way that she can then speak to you.”

Minority Report full novella.

All that isolation, all that anguish and yearning and poverty, made his life hell but fed his creativity. Dick was just marginal enough to look under the rock of postwar prosperity. His best books—including The Man in the High Castle, Ubik, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch —reveal an American Orwell, updating the British novelist’s unyielding despair with a dose of California mellow dystopianism. Also, a sense of humor.

Orwell explained in 1984 that with the advent of television, and the subsequent ability of each set to both send and receive signals, “private life came to an end. Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twentyfour hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed.”

In Dick’s world, it is hard to keep the police separate from the corporations or distinguish the state’s propaganda from capitalism’s. Or maybe they’re all space aliens. The idea isn’t so much to crush the citizens—Orwell’s notion of “a boot stamping on a human face— forever”—as letting them know who is boss, and getting another buck out of them. Consider, for instance, the scene in Ubik (1969) where the down-at-his-heels Joe Chip is trying to get out of his “conapt,” which is to say his apartment:

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.

From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.

“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out. Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

Better than any other SF writer of his era, Dick nailed a future where machines are neither masters nor tools but both at once. On the Internet, he is celebrated as a prophet. “There will come a time,” he predicts in a quote that circulated widely post-Snowden, “when it isn’t ‘They’re spying on me through my phone’ anymore. Eventually, it will be ‘My phone is spying on me.’ ”

This brilliantly sums up a future that is just about here, when your technology will track you so it can order more toilet paper when you are running low, but the truth seems to be that Dick never said it. In a twist the writer would have appreciated, the lines accurately mirror his beliefs but are not his words. A real fake, that is to say. The machines in Dick’s universe have the power to console, too.

How Israel’s Gaza bombings evaporated nearly 3,000 Palestinians without a trace

“I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

Such extreme devastation is the result of the intense heat generated by the explosives packed into these US-made weapons, identified as the MK-84 ‘Hammer’, the BLU-109 bunker buster, and the GBU-39. These are packed with a mixture of explosive chemicals that raise their firepower up several notches. The temperature in the aftermath of explosions rises to up to 3,500 degrees Celsius (5,432 degrees Fahrenheit), which evaporates all the bodily fluids of those in the area of impact and reduces their tissues to ash.

Dr. Muneer al-Boursh, the director-general of the Health Ministry in Gaza, explained how these bombs cause bodies to entirely disappear without a trace. “The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius [212 degrees Fahrenheit],” al-Boursh told Al Jazeera Arabic. “When a body is exposed to energy exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius combined with massive pressure and oxidation, the fluids boil instantly. The tissues vapourise and turn to ash. It is chemically inevitable.”

One of these bombs was dropped in the Al-Mawasi camp in Khan Yunis on September 10, 2024 and created a huge crater, which the survivors equated to the aftermath of an earthquake. Twenty-two people were evaporated in this particular bombing.

Nah, there is no more antisemitism. To be pro-Jew is to be anti-humanity.

Reminder that Tom Alexandrovich, the Israeli child rapist caught in Vegas, isn’t in the U.S. facing consequences.

He’s back in Tel Aviv, free as ever.

Brooklyn child-molest monster ‘got away with it’ after fleeing to Israel

“Let us be direct in our approaches. One: President Donald Trump is a docile and cynical puppet of the all-powerful Israeli lobby. Two: Putin is also a spokesman and instrument of the same lobby. As long as this reality is not understood in all its depth and tragedy, any attempt at geopolitical analysis will be partial and implicitly far from the truth”. Very interesting written interview with Moldovan dissident Iurie Rosca by Edward Slavsquat.

Another public instance took place in the United States Senate, where a Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi Yosef Greenberg was invited to deliver an official opening prayer at the start of a Senate session.

In this Senate invocation, the rabbi framed the moral direction of nations in terms of universal laws given after the Flood, referring to what are commonly known in rabbinic teaching as the Seven Noahide Laws. He presented these laws as guidance meant for all humanity and tied them to justice, peace, and proper governance. In connection with this, the prayer explicitly honored Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, crediting him with promoting these laws globally as a moral foundation for nations.

The spiritual leader of Degel HaTorah, one of the two factions of the Haredi United Torah Judaism party, says in a statement: “Whether the authorities agree to it or not, not a single yeshiva student, not even one, will go to the army.”

Rabbi Dov Lando issues the statement as the government continues its efforts to pass a law that would exempt most, but not all, Haredim from service.

“The place of Torah scholars is solely within the walls of the yeshivas and kollels,” Lando says. “Let everyone know, whether they understand this or not: This is the fact; it has been so, and it will remain so.”

LOOK at his soulless eyes!

Multiple reports confirmed that at least 11 victims were seated in the audience, many wearing shirts criticizing the extensive redactions in the recently released Epstein files.

Looks like enough of them/survivors to jump over the fucking suits and Bag Bondi?

Fucking converted fucking Candace Owens. 15th-century Catholic Doctrine of Discovery, based on papal bulls, was used to justify the seizure of non-Christian lands, fostering colonization, exploitation, and the dehumanization of Indigenous peoples based on assumed European superiority. It is widely condemned as a racist, unjust, and colonial tool that caused immense harm.

Sure, Catholicism!!!!!!!

Oh, can’t we just not support Judaism? Catholicism? The lot of them?

Valorizing Owens?

Candace Owens is a Roman Catholic, having announced her conversion from Reformed Evangelical Protestantism in April 2024. She was baptized at the Brompton Oratory in London, aligning her faith with that of her husband, George Farmer, whom she married in 2019. Her faith is central to her life.

VD Vance, the current Vice President of the United States as of January 2026, converted to Catholicism in 2019, choosing St. Augustine of Hippo as his confirmation saint.

Bleeding them dry. Starving them into emaciation. Polluting them into DNA epigenetic hell. The way of the Axis of Evil – USA-Isr=ahhh-HELL.

Where’s the fucking pope on this one? Data from 2019, sixteen of the twenty-five most water-stressed countries in the world can be found in this region (with Bahrain ranked as the world’s most water-stressed country). In this context, water stress is defined as the gap between water supply and water demand for each given country, meaning that the most water-stressed nations are utilizing nearly all of their available water supplies, and any fluctuations to water supply with respect to meeting water demand could trigger periods of water shortage.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is the most water-scarce region in the world, with only about 1% of global freshwater resources. Increasing demand for water from cities, industries and agriculture has pushed the already hot and dry countries of the region into extreme stress. More than 60% of the region’s population has little or no access to potable water.

+–+

So, the Talmudist way will be to poison the water, man . . . Superior neuroperverse “race.”

The legacy of Israel’s 60-year occupation of the Palestinian territories has been systematic human rights violations on a mass scale. One of its most devastating consequences is the impact of Israel’s discriminatory policies on Palestinians’ access to adequate supplies of clean and safe water.

Why MAGA is so concerned with Epstein − and why the files are unlikely to dent loyalty to Trump

But the bottom line is there’s a realization among many people in MAGA that you’ve got to stay with Trump. It’s too much to say there is no MAGA without Trump. There’s certainly no Trumpism without Trump, but MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party. It’ll just sort of fade away without Trump.

People in MAGA are supporting Trump more than more mainstream Republicans on this. So I don’t think there’s going to be a break over this, but it certainly adds strain. And you can see in the current moment that Trump is under some strain. — The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, talked with scholar Alex Hinton, who has studied MAGA for years, about Make America Great Again Republicans’ sustained interest in the case of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Hinton explains how MAGA’s interest in the case fits into what he knows about the group of die-hard Trump supporters.

“I have spent my entire career covering the news,” Mr. Lemon told reporters on Friday outside the federal building after he was released without bond. “I will not stop now. There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable.”

He added, “I look forward to my day in court.”

The 14-page indictment described preparations for the protest — nicknamed Operation Pullup by its organizers — that sounded not unlike those that might precede many demonstrations. It quoted one of the organizers, Nekima Levy Armstrong, as saying that the demonstrators planned to “disrupt business as usual” and wanted to keep their plans under wraps.

As Jonathan Parnell, the pastor who was leading the service that day, began his sermon, Ms. Armstrong interrupted him with “loud declarations” that “the time for judgment had come,” the indictment said. Other protesters yelled and blew whistles in what the indictment somewhat dramatically described as a “takeover attack on the church.”

Echoes oh those dementia echoes:

YOUR $2.94 BILLION.

Not Ukraine’s. Not Washington’s. Yours.

Between 2014 and 2017, approximately $2.94 billion in U.S.-backed financial support flowed into Ukraine’s stabilization and energy sectors through IMF programs, USAID contracts, and loan guarantees. These were lawful policy actions during a genuine geopolitical crisis.

But ten years later, here’s the question no one in Washington seems able to answer:

Where is the single, public, consolidated spreadsheet showing what American taxpayers received in measurable results?

This isn’t an allegation. It’s an accountability question.

And accountability isn’t partisan. It’s foundational.

The Timeline That Raises Eyebrows

(All Public Record)

• March 12, 2014 — Vice President Biden designated as administration lead on Ukraine policy
• April 21, 2014 — Biden’s first official visit to Kyiv
• May 12, 2014 — Hunter Biden and Devon Archer join Burisma Holdings’ board of directors
• Documented compensation — Senate HSGAC report lists approximately $83,333/month

These are facts, not accusations. The Senate report itself does not allege criminal wrongdoing.

But here’s what matters: when billions in public funds move during a crisis, optics and conflict-risk safeguards aren’t optional—they’re essential.

Were those safeguards documented clearly and made publicly available?

If so—where are they?

December 2015: A Complicated Month

• IMF disburses $1.8 billion tranche to Ukraine
• Ukraine’s banking sector remains under severe stress
• Corporate registry records show Cyprus-based entities connected to Ukrainian energy businesses
• Public reporting references overlapping financial movements during this period

Let’s be precise: there is no publicly confirmed proof that IMF funds directly flowed to any private board member or specific private entity.

But there’s also no simple, centralized audit available to taxpayers explaining the separation in plain English.

When systems are complex, transparency must be simpler—not harder.

What We Know (From Official Sources)

Based on Senate documents, FOIA releases, public registries, and investigative reporting:

✓ Compensation figures were documented
✓ Board appointments are confirmed
✓ Equity interests were reported
✓ USAID energy funding expanded significantly during this period
✓ Public remarks tied U.S. loan guarantees to Ukrainian prosecutorial reform
✓ Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies cooperated with U.S. officials
✓ International audit firms were involved in banking sector investigations

These are facts. What they mean depends on interpretation.

But transparency isn’t interpretation. It’s documentation.

It was a storyline that in earlier times would have seemed impossible. For four years, the actor and comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy entertained TV audiences in Ukraine with his starring role in the sitcom Servant of the People. Zelenskiy played a teacher who, outraged by his country’s chronic corruption, successfully runs for president. In 2019, Zelenskiy made fiction real when he contested Ukraine’s actual presidential election and won.

On the campaign trail, Zelenskiy pledged to clean up Ukraine’s oligarch-dominated ruling system. And he railed against politicians such as the wealthy incumbent Petro Poroshenko who hid their assets offshore. The message worked. Zelenskiy won 73% of the vote and now sits in a cavernous office in the capital, Kyiv, decorated with gilded stucco ceilings. Last month, he held talks with Joe Biden in the Oval Office.

The Pandora papers, leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and shared with the Guardian as part of a global investigation however, suggest Zelenskiy is rather similar to his predecessors.

The leaked documents suggest he had – or has – a previously undisclosed stake in an offshore company, which he appears to have secretly transferred to a friend weeks before winning the presidential vote.

Key Aid Details (Feb 2022 – Early 2026):

• Total International Assistance: Estimates exceed 309 billion euros ($360 billion+) in combined aid, with European nations collectively contributing a significant portion, sometimes exceeding U.S. commitments.
• U.S. Commitment: The United States has approved roughly $175 billion-$182 billion in total aid, which includes military, economic, and humanitarian support.
• U.S. Military Aid: Over $66 billion in direct military assistance has been provided by the U.S. since February 2022.
• Types of Aid: The support includes weapons systems (Patriot systems, F-16s), ammunition, training, and direct budgetary support.

Fucking Krauts: Don‘t ask about Palestine at Berlinale! Tilo attended today‘s press conference of the festival‘s jury and asked about the selective treatment of human rights. The Berlinale has famously shown solidarity with the people of Iran and Ukraine. But never with Palestinians. Jury president Wim Wenders refused to engage and actually said, “We have to stay out of politics“

Tilo‘s question and the following got censored on the Berlinale official livestream which suddenly experienced „technical difficulties“. This footage comes from the Reuters news agency instead.

Sure fucking movies aren’t political:

Puszczynska, whose filmography includes “Cold War,” a movie about a couple that kills themselves to escape communism, declared to the questioner: “Films are not political in the meaning of the word I think you think.” Instead, she stated, they’re about “empathy.”

“It’s a bit unfair asking us, what do we think, how we support, not support, talking to our governments or not,” she complained, before employing a time-honored Zionist tactic of deflection:

“There are many other wars where genocide is committed and we do not talk about that!”

Eventually, the jury’s president, German director Wim Wenders, jumped in to clear up the confusion: “We are the opposite of politics. We have to do the work of people, and not the work of politicians.”

“We have to stay out of politics.”

The quotes stands sharply at odds with previous statements by Wenders. In 1988, the director famously stated:

“Every film is political. Most political of all are those that pretend not to be.”

As recently as 2024, Wenders explicitly praised the Berlinale for being politicized while celebrating after Germany’s AfD Party was banned from the festival: “The Berlinale has traditionally always been the most political of the major festivals, and it’s not holding back now, nor will it in the future.”

“I like the Berlinale because it always speaks out and says something.”

Both Wenders and the Berlinale film festival itself have repeatedly and strongly condemned Moscow for its role in the Ukrainian proxy war, which Wenders has described as a Russian “war against Europe.”

In 2022, the Berlinale banned Russian media and anyone it deemed a “supporting actor” of Moscow. It did the same to Iranian outlets the following year, when it issued a statement cheering on the “courageous protesters in Iran” as they sought to topple the “violent, undemocratic regime.”

In Germany, however, such criticisms never seem to apply to the rogue Israeli apartheid state, which Berlin is helping arm, fund, and protect as it carries out the most thoroughly-documented genocide in history. — Wyatt Reed.

I did a show coming up, March 11, with Lowkey featured on it, and Marc Lamont Hill:

Chris Hedges on the decline of the American empire

Journalist Chris Hedges speaks to Marc Lamont Hill on Trump’s first year and the future of US democracy.

One year into Donald Trump’s return to office, a wave of hardline actions – from volatile ICE raids to growing concern over political pressure on the media – has raised alarm about the expansion of the president’s power.

Then, with US midterms approaching, attention is turning to whether there is any meaningful challenge to the Republican grip on Congress.

So what happens next?

This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with journalist and author Chris Hedges about Trump’s second presidency and whether US democracy is on the decline.

Fucking Tio/Tia Tacos.

An Arizona Mexican restaurant run by immigrants has been swamped with hateful messages, calls and online reviews over it giving free meals to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, but the owners say they are responding with kindness.

“We’re trying to respond in a positive way, just because I know that putting more hate onto hate is not going to lead anywhere good,” Jorge Rivas, who owns Sammy’s Mexican Grill, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. [Jorge Rivas, a Salvadoran-born legal immigrant]

In a recent video shared on social media by the outlet Pulso, Sammy’s Mexican Grill was highlighted as a restaurant that respects federal immigration enforcement agents and offers them free meals.

Despite that history, Rivas said he is standing on his promise, even if it means losing money out of his own register.

“I’m doing it because I think it’s the right thing to do,” Rivas said.

This is the antithesis of the stance many businesses in Tucson are taking, with some hanging signs prohibiting ICE agents from entering their business without a warrant

Something Rivas called un-American.

“It’s also Unlawful because the ICE agents are following the laws, and if you are not letting them in, you’re interfering with their job,” Rivas said.

However, many businesses on Fourth Avenue and elsewhere in Tucson have brandished the new sign, including Pop Cycle of Tucson.

“We felt it was important for keeping our community safe, frankly, because straight up, ICE is a danger to our community,” said Tobias Hodges with Pop Cycle of Tucson.

Hodges said the store works with a lot of Hispanic and indigenous artists, a community that he said might not mesh with Rivas’s policy.

CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott equivocated, saying that pushing a woman to the ground “can be” considered a de-escalation tactic, “depending on the circumstances.”

“I don’t know what happened before this. If an officer thinks that doing that is going to prevent any kind of a physical encounter, if there’s a weapon or anything else, I’m not saying there is, I’m just saying in certain cases, using hand-to-hand is a de-escalation,” Scott said. Paul didn’t agree with this.

“No one in America believes that shoving that woman’s face in the snow was de-escalation, but your officers need to know that they had a verbal encounter with her. She did not place her hands on the officers. She wasn’t trying to get their weapon,” Paul said, asking if it is “proper to physically throw a woman down or throw anyone down” in response to verbal attacks.

After a video was shown of Pretti’s killing, Democratic Senator Gary Peters pointed out how Pretti was beaten with a spray canister before he was shot. He criticized the violence perpetrated by agents, asking if beating someone “with a canister, is that de-escalatory?”

The answer from Scott wasn’t encouraging.
