“All those pundits calling the end of history, well, the end of Europe and U$A and Israel, as if their fucking punditry is any more valuable than that pro-genocide voting.”
Jessica Tisch’s grandfather worked in American intelligence, her father was on AIPAC’s executive committee and the city began talks with Epstein funded israeli technology during her NYPD tenure.
Hmm, so look up all those 130 Jewish Billionaires. I don’t know, the J-Post or Wikipedia. All, well, sorry for the antisemitism, but all are, gulp, Jewish. And all are triple or quad passport carrying right to return to the colonized land Jews, and, of course, I betcha, well, I betcha, 130 Jewish (self-selected, most being freckled, Caucasian white-skinned-as-the-belly-of-a-pufferfish EuroTrash Jews) are all invested in and with Israel, their fucking MOTHERSHIP.
So, the headline in the form of a rhetorical question?
Ten fucking years ago. NOW? 100 Percent, give or take a margin of error of .5 to 1 percent:
The billionaire class is relying on American police to protect them and their assets here in the United States, so they are keen on influencing and directing law enforcement policy. But in the case of the billionaire Tisch family, they’re not just influencing them – they are owning them.
Billionaire heiress Jessica Tisch was knighted as New York Police Department commissioner in November 2024 by israeli asset Eric Adams – even though she never worked as a police officer before in her life. Once in her role, she immediately began calling for harsher policing and sentencing, including for minors – to “reduce crime and recidivism.”
But shes not alone in her ties to the NYPD: her uncle Andrew H. Tisch and cousin Alexander H. Tisch are both on the board of the highly influential New York City Police Foundation. Alexander H. Tisch (not to be confused with Alexander M. Tisch, a New York Supreme Court Justice in Brooklyn) recently stepped down as CEO and president of the Loews Corporation but handed the reins over to her brother, Ben Tisch. Uncle Andrew, former director of the Loews Corporation is worth at least $1.6 billion.
A billionaire real estate family running the country’s largest police department: it’s not a conflict of interest – its a consolidation of interests.
His brother, Robert Tisch worked in the “biological warfare” unit of the army during WW2 and the Korean War – his life achievements and death the subject of his own House Resolution in the 109th US Congress and someone who both Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi counted as a friend. Larry Tisch on the far left and Robert Tisch on the far right. 1943.

Moving onto the next world stage, not just New-Jew York City: Long-awaited gas export deal with Egypt to be signed ‘in days,’ source tells ‘Post’
The agreement, valued at $35 billion, will enable the export of gas from Israel’s Leviathan reservoir to Egypt through 2040.
The new, native-born Israelis, known as “sabras” – the Hebrew word for prickly pear – were determined not to repeat what they believed had been the mistakes of Jews in the diaspora. They would always fight back, and sometimes fight first.
Rabin was confident that Israel’s armed forces were in good shape. Their mission was to win every war, on the grounds that Israel could not afford a single defeat.
Egyptian forces and those of its ally Syria, trained less, boasted more and forgot that the political victory that emerged after the 1956 Suez crisis was preceded by a military defeat.
Nasser concentrated on building a pan-Arab nationalist movement that his supporters fully expected would recreate Arab greatness, and exact revenge on Israel. He made his closest ally, Field Marshal Abdul Hakim Amer, commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Abdul Hakim Amir was the commander of Egypt’s armed forces
Egypt was an ancient country without the sense of insecurity that underlay Israel’s swagger. Amer’s most important mission, which he did very well, was to make sure that the army stayed loyal by stamping out plots and keeping the officer corps happy. The military arts were much less of a priority.
By 1967, Egypt was bogged down in a war in Yemen that had become its own Vietnam. It had not fought well. But Nasser could not replace Amer with a better soldier.
The Syrian army was equally politicised, and like Egypt was a client of the Soviet Union. A series of generals were rotated into power by a series of coups d’état.
Arabs talked a lot about unity, socialism and nationalism, but in reality they were deeply disunited. The Syrian and Egyptian leaderships fretted about plots allegedly instigated by the monarchies in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Kings worried that the military populists who led Syria and Egypt would incite revolution.
Jordan’s ruler, King Hussein, was a close ally of Britain and the US. Jordan was the only Arab state that emerged from 1948 as a winner.
DUMB as fuck Arabs, man.
Circumcised by the JEWS:
Immigration agents appear to be increasingly arresting and detaining Afghan asylum seekers, especially men, who have arrived in the US recently and are awaiting court hearings to decide their cases.
Amir – an asylum seeker who came to the US via Mexico in 2024 – was driving home from his English class in Bloomington, Indiana just after noon on Monday, when he was pulled over by an unmarked police vehicle. Minutes later, the asylum seeker from Afghanistan was cuffed and driven to a detention center.
In New York, another Afghan asylum seeker was detained after complying with a request from immigration authorities to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office. In northern California – home to one of the largest Afghan immigrant communities in the US – attorneys said nearly two dozen Afghan asylum seekers had been arrested – either out in the community, or at check-ins over the past two weeks.

Some Head Start early childhood programs are being told by the federal government to remove a list of nearly 200 words and phrases from their funding applications or they could be denied. That’s according to recently submitted court documents.
The list of words includes “accessible,” “belong,” “Black,” “disability,” “female,” “minority,” “trauma,” “tribal” and “women.”
The list was submitted on Dec. 5, as part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by Head Start programs in a handful of states – including Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin and Illinois – against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in federal programs conflicts with Head Start’s statutory mandate. That mandate includes, among other things, providing “linguistically and culturally appropriate“ services as well as early intervention services for children with disabilities.

Still, Delta Air Lines remains the sole U.S. airline to ban AI-powered smart glasses. This alone has baffled some passengers, as it understandably causes security concerns. Believe it or not, Air New Zealand actually explored the possibility of handing out the glasses to its cabin crew as an experiment. The goal was to gather additional customer information to accommodate frequent flyers better based on their past behavior. Thankfully, this idea never got off the ground…
As for Delta’s current ban, which has received positive reviews, a Delta spokesperson revealed that the adjustment was made in large part to ensure passenger safety and security.
The Ban Is Now Picking Up In Other Industries, Including The Cruise World
Jew-oogle and the Jew-Goggles, that’s the fucking ticket:
A study has revealed the concentrations of ultrafine particles breathed in by airline passengers.
A team of French researchers, including those from Université Paris Cité, built a pack of instruments that was flown alongside passengers from Paris Charles de Gaulle to European destinations. The machinery was placed on an empty seat in the front rows or in the galley.
Ultrafine particles are impossible to see and are often missed by conventional monitoring techniques, and therefore they are not covered by air pollution laws.
In 2021, the Dutch Health Council and the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighted the growing evidence that ultrafine particles are damaging our health. This includes 75 studies, mostly relating to lung inflammation, blood pressure and heart problems, along with risks to foetal growth. Technical differences between the studies, however, meant that the WHO was unable to set a standard. Since then a study of nearly 11 million people in the Netherlands found that exposure to ultrafine particles over several years was linked to early deaths including of lung cancer.
So many house negroes. Alvin Holsey, Admiral Who Oversaw Boat Strikes Off Venezuela’s Coast, Retires
The admiral had abruptly announced that he would step down as the head of the U.S. Southern Command. His departure leaves several issues about the strikes unanswered.
A few months ago, most Americans were not thinking about Venezuela at all. Then, something alarming happened.
Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host and current secretary of Defense, publicly suggested that a small Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean should be destroyed. Soon after, reports surfaced that U.S. forces had blown apart several boats near Venezuelan waters. The Trump administration made loud claims of narcoterrorism, but no evidence of seized drugs was ever shown to the public.
Despite that lack of proof, the rhetoric stuck. It grew louder. And so did the military presence. The United States has now positioned its largest aircraft carrier near Venezuela’s coast, along with aircraft, troops and restricted airspace. That is not what a focused, limited counter-drug mission looks like — especially when federal data shows Venezuela is not a significant source of narcotics entering the United States. Something else is driving this escalation.
It is minerals, not drugs.
Those who doubt the centrality of minerals to U.S. strategy should consider the recent agreement between Washington and Kyiv, which granted U.S. entities preferential access to Ukraine’s mineral reserves as partial repayment for wartime assistance. Whatever one thinks about that arrangement, one thing is clear: minerals are emerging as geopolitical currency. And Venezuela has the kind of mineral wealth — $1.36 trillion, according to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — that can shape the next century.
The U.S. has a history of intervening in resource-rich nations behind noble-sounding pretexts. From the oil fields of Iran to the copper mines of Chile, the agricultural lands of Guatemala, the oil reserves of Iraq and Libya, and the mineral wealth of the Congo and Indonesia, U.S. policy has time and again combined strategic interests with economic ambition. Often disguised as a fight against communism, terrorism or a humanitarian crisis, access to highly valued resources was always an important motive. Given its oil reserves and increasingly essential mineral deposits, Venezuela falls squarely within this historical pattern.
As Washington targets Latin America, with a Monroe Doctrine on steroids, LATAM Nations navigate coercion, alliances, and the quest for a possible yet increasingly difficult, post-hegemonic future.
In this episode of Critical Perspectives, Vanessa and I discuss an on-the-ground report from journalist Diego Sequera, who reveals how Venezuelans, navigating Western media hysteria and covert threats, are maintaining normalcy and fortifying national sovereignty through a culture of resilience and everyday resistance.
In the streets of Caracas, as the threat of war drums beat loudly from Washington, the prevailing atmosphere is one of focused normalcy. According to Caracas-based journalist and political analyst Diego Sequera, Venezuelans are primarily occupied with year-end preparations and celebrations—securing holiday meals and family gatherings—rather than the hysterical propaganda of an imminent invasion. This daily insistence on routine, Sequera argues, is itself a profound form of resistance. The narrative of a society on the brink of collapse or begging for foreign intervention, amplified through diasporic social media and Western outlets, as well as the Nobel Prize, puppet joker, Maria Corina Machado, starkly contradicts the resilient, business-as-usual reality he witnesses both in the capital and across the country.
Jews:
Although most Latin American countries supported the UN Partition Plan of 1947, which officially established the state of Israel and led to the Nakba, the region has been broadly friendly to Palestinians, hosting the largest Palestinian presence outside of the Arab world.
Solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for self-determination was at its height during the Chavez years up until today, with the leadership making outspoken criticism of Israel’s flagrant violations of international law. Venezuela severed diplomatic ties with Israel in 2009 over its military campaign in Gaza.
The recent UN Palestinian statehood vote, along with Palestine’s broader bid for statehood, has strong support in Latin America, including in Venezuela
The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) was founded by Venezuela and Cuba during the Chavez era. The US and Israel remain the only countries to vote against the annual UN resolution to end the more than half-century blockade against Cuba. Furthermore, the recent UN vote in favour of Palestinian statehood, along with Palestine’s broader bid for international recognition, has strong support in Latin America, including in Venezuela.
Under the Trump administration, there has been a slow and steady shift to impose anti-Palestinian policies, such as cutting US aid to the UNRWA refugee agency and to the Palestinian Authority, along with introducing the “deal of the century”, which eviscerates any hopes for Palestinian national aspirations.
Neo-conservative ideology
The Trump administration has empowered the extreme political right, spreading the neo-conservative ideology of Christian Zionism throughout Latin America. The UN vote to condemn the US embassy relocation to Jerusalem was rejected by Guatemala, Honduras and Brazil, amid regional moves to strengthen “security” ties with Israel. Countries including Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay and Ecuador have all recognised Guaido.
It is extremely telling that the Trump administration selected Elliott Abrams as the new US envoy to Venezuela, reinforcing the notion that the US and Israel see this situation as a perfect opportunity to overthrow Maduro and install a pro-Israel regime in the country.
Rebuilding Jewish Peoplehood for the 21st Century: A Book Event with Elliott Abrams | American Enterprise Institute – AEI
Abrams is also fiercely pro-Israel and was critical of the Obama administration for deeming settlement expansion in the Palestinian territories to be illegal, making him well-suited for the anti-Palestinian agenda in Latin America.
The direction in which Venezuela is heading does not look promising for the region, especially in relation to Palestinian solidarity, given the Zionist-related meddling, both historical and contemporary.
The Settlers Are Not Leaving: Decolonization, Not Coexistence
Zionism, the version of settler-colonialism as it exists today, has managed to rally so much support among Americans because of a centuries-long psychological operation.
She’s being kind — Pure Evil? Not their version of Judaism?
When Haifa fell to the Zionists in April 1948, it was with the collusion of Britain’s commander in the city at the time, Major General Hugh Stockwell. In response to the brutal assault on Haifa by the Haganah, the Jewish militia that later became the Israeli army – an attack that he allowed to happen – Stockwell advised the terrorised Arabs to accept the Haganah’s terms of surrender, or face hundreds more of them being killed.
That is essentially the same ultimatum dictated by the US, Britain’s modern equivalent in Palestine, to Hamas today. US President Donald Trump’s 20-point “peace plan” for the future of Gaza revealed on 30 September 2025 can be distilled into one message for Hamas: take our terms – no amendments, no discussion – or face more death and destruction.

This gun-to-the head approach towards Palestinians is not new, and it perfectly illustrates a peculiar western mindset towards non-white people – one that persistently belittles and ignores their rights and aspirations.
This attitude has been at the heart of the West’s dealings with the Palestinian people from the 1917 Balfour Declaration up to the present US plan. In 1917, Lord Arthur Balfour was not ashamed to declare that he had no intention of consulting the natives of Palestine about the future he was devising for their country. They were regarded as of little account to Britain’s colonial project.
More than a century on, nothing has changed for western elites. On the contrary, their disdain and condescension towards Palestinians have increased. Nothing else can explain the West’s collusion and inaction during two years of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. Imagine if the victims had been Ukrainians, or other Europeans, in place of Arabs.
It is not only western elites who hold these views. Many average people in western countries, despite all that has happened, still regard Israel as an acceptable state. Familiarity with the biblical notion that Jews belong in the Holy Land, and sympathy for their suffering in the Holocaust, have given Israel legitimacy as a “Jewish state”. That means many people simply “don’t get” settler colonialism and how creating the Israeli settler colony led to Palestinian dispossession. In itself this does not make ordinary people anti-Arab racists, but it provides a permissive background to the prejudices of the elite.
Given this context, it is not surprising that two years on from the events of 7 October 2023 – and in the face of a global uprising in support of Palestine – it is possible for the West to devise a peace plan that absolves Israel of its crimes, delivers it a victory it could not otherwise achieve, and solidifies its own colonial hold on Palestine.
Many countries have welcomed the US plan, presumably because of its call for an instant ceasefire, prisoner exchange and entry of humanitarian aid, along with an end to the threat of ethnic cleansing. But one should be under no illusion about its true purpose: Trump’s plan is designed to destroy the Palestinian resistance movement and colonise Gaza.
Why else was it drawn up without the input of Palestinians about their own future, while aiming to impose a foreign administration that robs Gaza’s people of agency and independence? Even more insultingly, the proposed “Board of Peace” that would take charge of Gaza is to be headed by Trump, the enabler of Israel’s genocidal crimes, without whom many thousands of Palestinians would still be alive today. Adding insult to injury, the board would include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, widely reviled by Palestinians for his crimes against Iraq and partiality towards Israel.
The subtext of Trump’s peace plan is that Hamas is the cause of Gaza’s plight, and as such its freedom of action must be terminated. It must either accept the plan’s terms or “pay in hell”, to borrow Trump’s phrase. Hamas must release all hostages, dead or alive, in its custody within the first 72 hours of the agreement’s acceptance by Israel. It would then have to discard its arms and accept having no role in the governance of Gaza.
In summary, the US plan aims to rehabilitate Israel, now widely considered a pariah state, while leaving it free to colonise the West Bank (of which there is no mention in the plan). It would give real-estate developers, like Trump’s son-in-law, license to exploit Gaza, and potentially deliver Trump what he so covets: a Nobel Peace Prize. All of this would be achieved with international approval and the support of Arab and Islamic states, which will likely foot the bill for Gaza’s reconstruction.
What happens next is not known. Hamas faces a vicious dilemma: either accept Trump’s ultimatum – it has so far accepted certain conditions, but major obstacles remain – while running the risk of self-annihilation, or reject it and be held responsible for more death and destruction in Gaza. It is a defeat for Hamas either way.
Yet it is not the twists and turns that immediately lie ahead which should concern us most. Rather, it is western imperialism, and its concomitant denigration of “natives”, that brought us here – and so long as this mentality endures, the persecution of Palestinians, and all non-white peoples, will never end. Even if the genocide in Gaza is terminated trouble spots will erupt elsewhere and be handled in the same destructive, supremacist manner.
Only when the racism that underlies much of the West’s behaviour is addressed and ended, can the world look to a future based on justice, not tyranny and brute force. —Ghada Karmi

In a new 5,200 word “techno-optimist manifesto,” Andreessen, the man behind prominent venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)—which has invested in Facebook, Airbnb, Lyft, Skype, and many more well-known firms—argues that the only solution to the various structural problems created by capitalism is to do more capitalism—with uninhibited AI development at the forefront. He does so by invoking an obscure online ideology that has taken hold in some tech circles, but may be totally incomprehensible to the masses of people who ultimately use the products that a16z helps bring to market: “effective accelerationism,” or “e/acc.”
Disruptive tech.
Artificial intelligence is replacing entry-level workers whose jobs can be performed by generative AI tools like ChatGPT, a rigorous new study finds.
Early-career employees in fields that are most exposed to AI have experienced a 13% drop in employment since 2022, compared to more experienced workers in the same fields and when measured against people in sectors less buffeted by the fast-emerging technology, according to a recent working paper from Stanford economists Erik Brynjolfsson, Bharat Chandar and Ruyu Chen.
The study adds to the growing body of research suggesting that the spread of generative AI in the workplace is likely to disrupt the job market, especially for younger workers, the report’s authors said.
“These large language models are trained on books, articles and written material found on the internet and elsewhere,” Brynjolfsson told CBS MoneyWatch. “That’s the kind of book learning that a lot of people get at universities before they enter the job market, so there is a lot of overlap with between these LLMs and the knowledge young people have.”
The research highlights two fields in particular where AI already appears to be supplanting a significant number of young workers: software engineering and customer service. Between late 2022 and July 2025, entry-level employment in those areas declined by roughly 20%, according to the report, while employment for older workers in the same jobs grew.

The British government threatened to defund the international criminal court and leave the Rome statute that set it up if it pressed ahead with plans to issue an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu, the ICC’s prosecutor, has claimed.
Karim Khan made the allegation in a submission to the court defending his decision to prosecute Israel’s prime minister.
Khan does not name the individual who made the threats, saying the call on 23 April 2024 was with a British official, but reports have suggested the caller may have been the then British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Khan said the official had argued that issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, was disproportionate.
Khan also claimed that in April 2024 he was warned by a US official there would be disastrous consequences if he were to issue the warrants, but Khan – faced with calls to delay – insisted during the call there had been no sign the Israeli government was willing to cooperate with the ICC or change its behaviour.
Jews tap dancing and whining at Eurovision:
Nemo have more guts than all IOF combined. Swiss singer Nemo, who won the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, said Thursday they will return the winner’s trophy because Israel is being allowed to compete in the politically troubled pop music competition.
In an Instagram video, Nemo held the microphone-shaped glass ornament and said “today I no longer feel like this trophy belongs on my shelf.”
“Eurovision says it stands for unity, for inclusion and dignity for all people,” Nemo said, adding that Israel’s participation, given its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza, shows those ideals are at odds with organizers’ decisions.
The nonbinary singer won the contest in May 2024 with pop-operatic ode “The Code.”
Five countries have announced they will boycott the 2026 contest after organizers declined to expel Israel: Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland.

On December 1, Mohammed Hossam Ashour stood inside one of the two remaining buildings of Islamic University in Gaza City. A 19-year-old information technology major, he was attending in-person lectures for the first time in two years after the university resumed classes in late-November.
“We are happy to be beginning our return to something of a normal life, even if in a small way, to be returning to in-person learning after having been absent for more than two years because of the war the Israeli occupation waged against us,” Ashour told Drop Site News. “Despite the challenges, and despite the fact that more than 90 percent of the buildings at the Islamic University have been destroyed, the university still repaired and restored the buildings that could be used for teaching and made them available for the students so they could attend their lectures and come regularly to Islamic University.”
Like every other university in Gaza, Islamic University was targeted by the Israeli military during its genocidal assault. Once one of the largest universities in Gaza, with about 17,000 students before the war—60 percent of them women—nearly every building on the campus is now a bombed-out, hollow shell. Many of the roofs are pancaked in and the auditoriums have been gutted and burned. Hundreds of displaced families have set up tents in the rubble-filled courtyard and sought shelter in lecture halls and classrooms.
“More than the buildings, the academic infrastructure of the university was completely destroyed, including the internet infrastructure, which was among the strongest and most renowned in all of Palestine. The university’s laboratories as well, the computer and science labs, for the College of Science, the College of Medicine, and the College of Engineering.
“The Islamic University had the largest number of computers in all of Palestine, as well as highly advanced laboratories. We are speaking now about these resources not to romanticize what has been lost, but to tell our people that, God willing, we will restore these resources and these laboratories to what they once were. We draw our strength from our people and from our students’ passion for learning, for in-person learning. Frankly, we were surprised by our students’ enthusiasm and their widespread attendance, their presence in the university at the earliest hours, seated at their desks and ready to receive knowledge directly from their instructors. We hope this will be the beginning of a complete return to life.” — Professor Bassam al-Saqqa, vice president of academic affairs at Islamic University

Started at AGE six: Rosa Parks:
JEANNE THEOHARIS: Thank you. It’s so great to be here.
So, I think the ways that we now remember and honor the Montgomery bus boycott is that it was the right action with the right person, and it was sort of destined to succeed, and that in the United States, if you have the right action — right? — injustice is vanquished. And that is a comfortable story, but it’s not an accurate story.
All right. Let’s start with Rosa Parks. As you just mentioned, she is a longtime activist by this point. She’s been active for about 20 years. In fact, this is not going to be her first bus stand. She had been thrown off the bus by this very bus driver and other bus drivers because she refused the practice — some bus drivers would make Black people pay in the front, but have to get off and reboard in the back. She refused to do that, had been thrown off by this bus driver 12 years earlier and by other bus drivers for being uppity.
This is also not the first time somebody’s going to be arrested for refusing to give up their seat.
In fact, in 1944, a woman by the name of Viola White refuses to give up her seat on the bus. She decides to pursue her legal case. And in response, the police rape her daughter.
And then the state holds up her appeal for so long that Mrs. White actually dies before her appeal ever goes to court. And this is — they will learn from this, because Rosa Parks and E. D. Nixon, who are longtime — who will become the kind of two leaders of Montgomery’s NAACP in 1945 and, for the next decade, helped to transform it into a more activist branch, they learn from Viola White.
There’s a trickle of cases over that decade. A neighbor of Rosa Parks refuses to get off and reboard. He’s killed on the bus by police. And then, as many of us know, in March of 1955, Claudette Colvin, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin, refuses to give up her seat on the bus. As the police take her from the bus, they manhandle her. Colvin, you know, resists their having their hands all over her. And so, police don’t only arrest Colvin on a segregation charge, but they arrest her on an assaulting an officer charge — Colvin is this very petite 15-year-old — and on a disturbing the peace charge.
Montgomery is outraged — Black Montgomery, sorry, not Montgomery. Black Montgomery is outraged. Rosa Parks starts fundraising for Colvin’s case. And then a couple things happen. The judge strategically throws out the segregation charge. He only convicts Colvin on an assault charge. So that’s the first issue that’s going to make this case hard to pursue. But the —
AMY GOODMAN: We have two minutes.
JEANNE THEOHARIS: The second is that Colvin is a teenager, and many adults don’t trust a teenager.
So, let’s fast-forward. Now we’re at December 1st, 1955. There is nothing to suggest — what makes what Rosa Parks does so courageous is there is nothing to suggest that making a stand on this day will do anything. And I think that’s one of the biggest myths — right? — and one of the biggest misunderstandings of her courage. Part of what her courage is, is the ability to step forward again and again, without any sense that this is going to change anything, and say, “This is the line. And I refuse.”
AMY GOODMAN: I mean, so interesting. She had worked for years fighting against and exposing the rapes of Black women. She was deeply moved and horrified by the lynching and killing of Emmett Till. But as you said, she didn’t know if this would have an effect, but she sat down on that bus. Then there was Jo Ann Robinson.
JEANNE THEOHARIS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: Talk about that. Few days later, the bus boycott is launched. And she, in fact, Rosa Parks, launches Dr. Martin Luther King, a young pastor who had just moved to town.
JEANNE THEOHARIS: Right. So, late that — so, she’s bailed out a few hours later.
AMY GOODMAN: One minute.
JEANNE THEOHARIS: When E. D. Nixon sees that she is OK, because — that she hasn’t been physically hurt, he’s delighted. This could be a possible test case. She and her husband have to think. That night, she decides she will go forward. She calls a young Black lawyer named Fred Gray. That night, Fred Gray calls Jo Ann Robinson. Jo Ann Robinson is the head of the Women’s Political Council. They have a plan. In the middle of the night, Robinson sneaks into Alabama State, where she works, and, with the help of two students, runs off 35,000 leaflets. And the next morning, the women of the Women’s Political Council fan out over Montgomery with those leaflets. They’re originally calling for a one-day boycott.
AMY GOODMAN: But it ends up being a year. And one year later, the final result.
JEANNE THEOHARIS: The buses are desegregated. It’s not about walking. They organized this incredible carpool system. They set up 40 pickup stations all around the city. They’re giving, at its peak, 15,000 to 20,000 rides a day. All of this — right? — exceeds — every time people take a step, they — again, what is imagined gets broader. And they turn it from a one-day to a yearlong boycott, from first come, first served —
AMY GOODMAN: And that’s the story of Rosa Parks. Go to all our interviews with Jeanne Theoharis on the rebellious life of Rosa Parks. I’m Amy Goodman. Thanks so much for joining us.
Compare HER, ROsa, to a billion fucking white people!
An environmental group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit challenging the National Park Service’s plan to emblazon President Trump’s face on some annual passes to national parks starting Jan. 1.
The suit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia by the Center for Biological Diversity, argued that it would violate federal law to put Mr. Trump’s visage on some of the passes, which have traditionally featured photos of scenic landscapes and wildlife.
Representatives for the Park Service and its parent agency, the Interior Department, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a video posted on the Interior Department’s website in recent weeks, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said that a design featuring Mr. Trump and President George Washington would be one of several “commemorative new designs for our park passes.”
[Previous America the Beautiful passes. Federal law requires that each year’s design must feature the winning photo from the National Park Foundation’s annual public lands photo contest.]
if the research isn’t about the great white savior and the great drone and AI gods, then all majors and departments otherwise not engaged in Capitalism a la Inverted Totalitarianism cease and desist
Their “American Higher Education Restoration Act” takes aim at what it describes as “a glut of academic ‘research’ that almost no one reads and which does not meaningfully advance human knowledge.” It would carve out a special pathway to tenure for faculty who teach courses in “American Constitutionalism and Western Civilization,” increase the teaching loads for faculty who work in non-STEM disciplines, create an oversight group — the majority of which are non-university officials — to grant exceptions to the teaching load policy, and impose new governing board control over the hiring of individual faculty.

“The City of David historically validates everything that is an ideological and a theological belief,” he added.

‘It’s like pretending cigarettes don’t cause lung cancer,’ says one climate expert.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has removed any mention of fossil fuels – the main driver of global warming – from its popular online page explaining the causes of climate change.
Now it only mentions natural phenomena, even though scientists calculate that nearly all of the warming is due to human activity.
Sometime in the past few days or weeks, EPA/Jew Zeldin altered some but not all of its climate change webpages, de-emphasising and even deleting references to the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, which scientists say is the overwhelming cause of climate change.
The website’s causes of climate page mentions changes in Earth’s orbit, solar activity, Earth’s reflectivity, volcanoes and natural carbon dioxide changes, but not the burning of fossil fuels.
Former Republican Governor Christie Todd Whitman, who was EPA administrator under George W. Bush, said, “You can refuse to talk about it, but it doesn’t make it go away. And we’re seeing it. Everybody’s seeing it.”
“We look ridiculous, quite frankly,” Whitman told news agency The Associated Press in an interview. “The rest of the world understands this is happening and they’re taking steps… And we’re just going backwards. We’re knocking ourselves back into the Stone Age.”

Why Jews Are Voting for Donald Trump: In a roundtable discussion, Jewish supporters of the former president talk about how Israel and antisemitism factor into their decisions, which other issues matter to them, and what they really think of their candidate
It’s never just Trump. It’s his MINYAN. The centrist candidate in Honduras’s knife-edge presidential election, Salvador Nasralla, has accused “corrupt people” of manipulating the vote count in the Central American nation.
Nine days after the election, the electoral council has still not declared a winner but the latest results suggest that Nasry “Tito” Asfura, the conservative candidate backed by US President Donald Trump, has a narrow lead.
Nasralla, who had been leading earlier on in the count before dropping into second place, declared on social media: “This is theft.”
The left-wing candidate who is trailing in third place, Rixi Moncada, has called for the vote to be annulled and accused Trump of interfering in the election.

In 1982, when the Voting Rights Act was up for reauthorization, the Reagan Justice Department had a goal: preserve the VRA in name only, while rendering it unenforceable in practice. A young John Roberts was the architect of that campaign. He may soon get to finish what he started.
Last month, at the oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais, a majority of theconservative justices seemed to signal their willingness to forbid any use of race data in redistricting. That could lead to the end of the VRA’s Section 2 protections for minority voters, and allow states across the South to redraw congressional districts currently represented by Black Democrats into whiter, more rural, and more conservative seats, potentially before the 2026 midterms.

Israeli tank runs over child, cutting him in half as Gaza counts 738 ceasefire violations
While the authorities in Gaza make appeals to international institutions and leaders to intervene, the Israelis appear in no mood to curb their criminality.
Fucking HUMAN stain, these fucking JEWS:
After 60 days of the ceasefire: 738 Israeli violations keep the Gaza Strip under crippling siege, with humanitarian commitment not exceeding 38 percent
We affirm that the “Israeli” occupation has continued, since the ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 10, 2025 until the evening of Monday, December 8, 2025 (a period of 60 days), to commit severe and systematic violations of the agreement. These acts constitute a clear breach of international humanitarian law and a deliberate undermining of the essence of the ceasefire and the humanitarian protocol attached to it.
During this period, the relevant government agencies recorded 738 violations of the agreement, detailed as follows:
205 incidents of direct gunfire against civilians.
37 incursions by military vehicles into residential areas.
358 bombings and attacks targeting unarmed citizens and their homes.
138 demolitions and destructions of homes, institutions, and civilian buildings.
These systematic violations resulted in the killing of 386 citizens, the injury of 980 others, in addition to 43 unlawful arrests carried out by the “Israeli” occupation forces.
On the humanitarian front, the occupation continued to evade its obligations under the agreement and the humanitarian protocol. It did not adhere to the minimum quantities of aid agreed upon. Only 13,511 trucks entered the Gaza Strip during the 60 days, out of the 36,000 trucks that were supposed to enter — an average of 226 trucks per day out of the 600 agreed upon, representing a commitment level not exceeding 38 percent. This severe shortfall has perpetuated shortages of food, medicine, water, and fuel, deepening the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Fuel deliveries during the same period reached only 315 trucks out of the 3,000 fuel trucks that were supposed to enter — an average of five trucks per day out of the 50 allocated under the agreement — meaning the occupation complied with only 10 percent of the agreed-upon fuel quantities. This leaves hospitals, bakeries, and water and sewage stations nearly non-operational, worsening the daily suffering of the civilian population.
And clear and present danger Trump and his Minyan and the thousands upon thousands of thugs, let alone Gestapos like ICE, THEY NEED TO BE SHOT.
Donald Trump’s anti-Somali rants are not directed solely at members of that group. All Black/African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful criminals who are deserving of punishment and scorn. Trump is not alone in this thinking.
On two recent occasions, Donald Trump, president of the United States, engaged in a racist meltdown against the African nation of Somalia and its citizens who migrated to the United States. In the first instance, he called Somalia the “worst country on earth” and claimed that Somalis “destroyed” Minnesota and turned it into a “hell hole.” Not long after, while speaking to the press at a cabinet meeting, he referred to a member of congress, Ilhan Omar, as “garbage.” He also used the term to describe everyone coming from her home country of Somalia. For good measure, he added that Somali immigrants were “88% on welfare,” and “their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks.”
These are YOUR fucking JEWS, you goddamn knee-jerk cunts calling any criticism of the Jewish State of Rape and Murder, ANTI-Semitism? Nope. The terms is useless, irrelevant, a joke.

What often appears as sporadic settler violence is in fact an organized system with an official structure fully operating as intended.
The document is ghoulish, abhorrent, repetitious, and sometimes incoherent, but I found its honesty refreshing. The mask is torn off sanctimonious bullshit, tall tales about spreading democracy and caring about human rights. The US is “not grounded in traditional political idealism,” but by “America First.” (P.8) A bit of the usual boilerplate is here, but for the most part, the ideological cover is gone.
Dan Caldwell, onetime advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, applauded the new American military restraint, saying, “For too long, delusion undergirded our foreign policy, delusion about America’s role in the world, delusion about our interests, and delusion about what we can achieve through military force. This is a reality-based document in that regard.” (NY Times,12/7/2025)
In place of pretense, the document spells out what US policy has always been about: undisguised economic nationalism — whatever benefits American grifter capitalism. All this unexpected candor required the New York Times to lamentably and hypocritically describe the new doctrine as “Security Strategy Focused on Profit, Not Spreading Democracy.”
Going further, General Wesley Clark, former NATO Commander, joined in by saying that
“The United States has sacrificed the magic of America. For 250 years, America lived the dream that we gave to all mankind. And we acted to protect that. The rules-based international order has served us so well.”
Yes, he actually said that…
Oh? These cunts, and so the Semen Drip Trump is flailing with his pedophile pedigree:
President Trump lambasted former ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Truth Social Monday morning, after the Georgia Republican told CBS News’ “60 Minutes“ the president has forsaken his base.
Once one of Mr. Trump’s staunchest allies in Congress, Greene has become one of the few Republicans willing to speak out against him in public. As she prepares to resign from Congress before her term ends, Greene told “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl the president isn’t living up to his “America First” motto, and she connected death threats she says she has received with the president’s comments about her.
The president said the only reason Greene “went BAD is that she was JILTED by the president of the United States.”
“Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person,” the president wrote on Truth Social, calling Greene “washed up” and a “low IQ traitor.”
The president also blasted Stahl, “60 Minutes” and the new ownership of Paramount, CBS’s parent company, decrying the company’s decision to “allow a show like this to air.” He added, “Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE!”
Fucking clowns with fucking power. White POWER.
The mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was ordered released from immigration detention on Monday, according to her attorney.
Bruna Caroline Ferreira, who is in the process of obtaining a green card and previously held DACA status, was ordered released by an immigration judge on a minimum bond of $1,500.
Ferreira’s attorney, Todd Pomerleau, told ABC News that he argued at a hearing that his client is not a “criminal illegal alien,” as described by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nor that she is a flight risk.
Ferreira is expected to be released Monday or Tuesday, according to Pomerleau.
The White House did not immediately respond to an ABC News request for comment.
DHS confirmed two weeks ago that Ferreira had been detained. A reporter with ABC New Hampshire station WMUR spoke with Leavitt’s brother, Michael Leavitt, who also confirmed the arrest and said Ferreira had been detained a few weeks previously.

We are domestic terrorists, questioning Zuckerberg and Meta and Google and Brin and Karp and Palantir and all the other data center fascists . . . and calling for a stop of data centers is, of course, antisemitism!
A coalition of more than 230 environmental groups has demanded a national moratorium on new datacenters in the US, the latest salvo in a growing backlash to a booming artificial intelligence industry that has been blamed for escalating electricity bills and worsening the climate crisis.
The green groups, including Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Food & Water Watch and dozens of local organizations, have urged members of Congress to halt the proliferation of energy-hungry datacenters, accusing them of causing planet-heating emissions, sucking up vast amounts of water and exacerbating electricity bill increases that have hit Americans this year.
“The rapid, largely unregulated rise of datacenters to fuel the AI and crypto frenzy is disrupting communities across the country and threatening Americans’ economic, environmental, climate and water security,” the letter states, adding that approval of new data centers should be paused until new regulations are put in place.

Sarah Monroe once had a relatively comfortable middle-class life.
She and her family lived in a neatly landscaped neighborhood near Cleveland. They had a six-figure income and health insurance through her job. Then, four years ago, when Monroe was pregnant with twin girls, something started to feel off.
“I kept having to come into the emergency room for fainting and other symptoms,” recalled Monroe, 43, who works for an insurance company.
The babies were fine. But after months of tests and hospital trips, Monroe was diagnosed with a potentially dangerous heart condition.
It would be costly. Within a year, as she juggled a serious illness and a pair of newborns, Monroe was buried under more than $13,000 in medical debt.
About 100 million people in the U.S. have some form of health care debt, a 2022 survey showed.

A team commander, a squad commander, and two soldiers in the Maglan commando unit have been jailed after one of their comrades was mistakenly briefly abandoned in a building in the West Bank town of Qabatiya last week, in what the army describes as a “grave incident.”
According to the IDF, troops had left one building in the town and headed to another, while leaving behind a soldier who was asleep. After some 40 minutes, the soldier joined up with his team at the nearby site.
“The incident was immediately reported to commanders, and an in-depth investigation was conducted by the unit commander and the commander of the Commando Brigade,” the military says, adding that the findings were presented to the commanders of the 98th Division and the Judea and Samaria Division.
The non-Jew looking to be a Jew: Anduril’s Palmer Luckey makes an ethical case for using AI in war: ‘There is no moral high ground in using inferior technology’
They destroyed every college and school in Gaza, but these Jew cunts, man oh man . . . Perverted souls:
Charlemagne, the 8th-century Frankish king, was reputed to have said, “To have another language is to possess a second soul.” While proficiency in English may not grant Hebrew-speaking Israelis an additional soul, it is a compulsory subject in elementary and high schools, the primary language of international business, and is required for university entry.
“English is a core language that opens doors to many opportunities,” says Tziona Levi, director of the Languages Department at the Education Ministry. “English can inspire hope. When you’re strong in it, your path forward often feels more open and inviting.”
At first glance, it would seem that the group best suited to teach English in this country would be olim from English-speaking countries, who are familiar with the language, and speak and read it fluently. But it is a bit more complicated than that. English teachers must not only be able to speak the language at a mother-tongue level but also be well-versed in the pedagogical fundamentals of education – and capable of managing crowded, occasionally rowdy, Israeli classrooms.

According to a new study, one of the first estimates of sea level rise made by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change closely matches what actually happened over the past 30 years.
Törnqvist: “What we found was that they did remarkably well.”
In the nineties, the IPCC released a report with different scenarios for carbon emissions and what each would mean for global sea level rise.
Törnqvist’s study found that real-world emissions have closely tracked one of the report’s middle-of-the-road scenarios.
And global sea levels have risen about nine centimeters – very close to the eight predicted by the U.N. report.
Those early predictions were made without today’s advanced computer models, and they over- or underestimated the impacts of some drivers of sea level rise.
But Törnqvist says it shows that even 30 years ago, scientists understood the fundamentals of climate change.
Törnqvist: “I find it hard to think of any other form of evidence that is more compelling to demonstrate that this is happening, it has been happening for a long time, and we know why, and we understand it, and we can make credible projections.”
Pedophile and Rapist and narcolepsy-fueled Trump:
NIH shut out hundreds of young scientists from funding to start their own labs
Cuts to diversity transition grants slow research and lengthen job searches
The MOSAIC program is the type of early-career research grant that checks many of the boxes of the Trump administration.
National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya listed “training future biomedical scientists” as one of his top priorities, and has spoken often about the need to support researchers at the start of their careers, when they tend to do their most original work. MOSAIC is meant to do just that, funding scholars during the precarious transition from postdoctoral researchers under the wings of more established scientists to independent lab heads.
But none of that mattered. Over the first several months of the administration, the MOSAIC program was terminated because it was seen as running afoul of President Trump’s executive order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. It was one of several awards that the NIH had created to diversify its grant recipients, targeting a point in the training pipeline where academia often loses people underrepresented in the field. It was offered to scientists from a broad range of disadvantaged backgrounds, defined more broadly than just race and ethnicity.
Many of the MOSAIC scholars felt betrayed, because they had been urged to seek funding through the program when they could have qualified for other training grants not focused on diversity. Now they’re scrambling for other jobs, or to set up their new labs with limited resources.
Jews Jews, run the country:
A Gallatin administrator in charge of managing disruptions at the school’s 2025 graduation ceremony was effectively fired as a “fall guy” after valedictorian Logan Rozos’ speech sparked national backlash, several faculty members told WSN.
Nick Likos, who worked at the university for over 24 years, was reportedly responsible for cutting the microphone if speeches at the school’s graduation ceremony turned disruptive. A Gallatin administrator said that Likos left unannounced around July and that the school’s dean Victoria Rosner announced his departure in an Aug. 1 email.
“That was the first official correspondence about Nick being relieved of his duty,” the Gallatin administrator, who requested to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, told WSN. “It wasn’t the same kind of email that you would see from other people who are leaving or retiring — the kind of flowery language that’s done — and there was no celebration or going away given.”
NYU spokesperson John Beckman told WSN that he could not comment on details relating to specific faculty members.
In the email, Rosner said that Likos is “no longer with NYU,” but that the school is “grateful to him for his many years of service,” citing his contribution to renovating the Gallatin building. She thanked faculty for their “patience and understanding” during the transition.
The administrator told WSN that they were made aware of Likos’ departure in mid-July, when they received an automated email response that said, “I am no longer with New York University” after inquiring about a work order. They said they were never given additional details about the reason for his departure.
“I don’t think it’s far-fetched for me to connect these dots that would show that Logan’s speech would be considered inflammatory to certain people and certain donors,” the administrator said. “It’s not unfeasible that Nick, who was head of making sure that disruptions were curtailed, would be the person that would take the brunt of this.”
During his valedictorian speech, Rozos said that his “moral and political commitments” led him to speak on behalf of those affected by Israel’s ongoing siege in Gaza. A few hours later, NYU issued a statement claiming that he “lied about the speech he was going to deliver” and announcing that it would withhold his diploma. The incident sparked nationwide debate, with some criticizing the university for hosting a speaker with “pure, unchecked Jew-hatred” while others accused it of violating academic freedom.
“It makes me question when and where I would be allowed to say something either in my personal life or my professional life,” the administrator said. “Would I feel comfortable putting myself on the outside politically, if I have a certain belief that I could be targeted and given a roundabout reason for why I’m being let go?”
Dear President Mills, Provost Dopico and Dean Rosner:
We write on behalf of the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) and its Committee on Academic Freedom to express our grave concern about the decision of New York University to withhold the diploma of graduating senior Logan Rozos and subject him to disciplinary action because of remarks he made about Israel’s war on Gaza during the recent graduation ceremony of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Your administration’s action is an egregious violation of the right to free speech and of academic freedom, and it makes a mockery of NYU’s avowed commitment to foster an environment in which its students, faculty and staff can freely share their opinions on matters of public concern.
Founded in 1966, MESA promotes scholarship and teaching on the Middle East and North Africa. As the preeminent organization in the field, the Association publishes the prestigious International Journal of Middle East Studies and has nearly 2,800 members worldwide.

Logan Rozos was the designated student speaker at Gallatin’s graduation, held on 14 May 2025. Instead of delivering the remarks that NYU had pre-approved, he chose to say the following:
I’ve been freaking out a lot about this speech, honestly, and as I search my heart today in addressing you, all my moral and political commitments guide me to say that the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine. I want to say that the genocide currently occurring is supported politically and militarily by the United States, is paid for by our tax dollars, and has been live streamed to our phones for the past 18 months. And that I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, but speak for all people of conscience, all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity. And I want to say that I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide.
According to media reports, the audience responded to Rozos’s remarks with enthusiastic applause and cheers. However, apparently at the insistence of President Mills, NYU promptly announced that Rozos’s degree would be withheld and disciplinary action would be initiated against him. A university spokesperson vehemently denounced Rozos’s action and alleged that he had “misuse[d] his role as student speaker to express his personal and one-sided political views.”
We note that it is in fact quite common for commencement speakers at colleges and universities in the United States to share their “personal political views” on issues of current concern, and we must wonder on what basis NYU has determined that Rozos’s views are “one-sided.” It would seem that NYU is unwilling to tolerate the expression of certain views when it comes to Gaza and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We must also point out that, unfortunately, NYU has in the past year and a half repeatedly acted in a repressive manner toward students and faculty who were expressing their opposition to Israel’s war on Gaza; see our past letters here, here, here and here. The university’s punishment of Rozos seems to be a continuation of this policy.
We call on NYU to immediately award Logan Rozos his degree, terminate disciplinary proceedings against him and apologize to him for the distress its actions have caused him. We further call on NYU to desist from the harsh stance it has taken toward members of the university community who have manifested opposition to the ongoing war on Gaza and the complicity in it of the United States government. Finally, we call on NYU to at long last actually respect and uphold the principles of academic freedom and freedom of speech that it claims to embrace.
We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

As we have repeatedly seen, anyone who takes a stand publicly for Palestine does so knowing that it could imperil their academic or professional career — and the NYU student Logan Rozos was no exception. Following his highly publicized graduation speech taking such a stand, NYU said in a statement the following day that the institution would withhold his diploma while considering “disciplinary actions.”
To give Rozos the credit he is due is Afeef Nessouli, a New York City-based journalist who covers queerness and resistance in the Middle East. Nessouli learned of Rozos’ speech while he was in Gaza for a two-month volunteer rotation with Glia International. He had just returned to their place in Deir Al-Balah when he watched the video of Rozos’ speech on his phone. “Logan’s commencement address gave me my own emotional lifeline,” he later said.
In the joint slay to end all joint slays, Nessouli bestows Logan Rozos with the Superlative title Forever Class President in the tribute below. —Sal Tamarkin
“As I search my heart today in addressing you all … the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine.”
These words were the start of Logan Rozos’ commencement speech. It was May 14 and Rozos was on stage at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, addressing his fellow graduates at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. I was in Gaza on a volunteer medical rotation with Glia International, watching the video of his speech on my phone.
“I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide,” he went on. My heart swelled. A young person, thousands of miles away, boldly carrying a message. Rozos is one of a handful of student speakers at universities around the world who used their commencement addresses to bring such truth to power.
Although the audience cheered rapturously when he brought up Gaza at points throughout his speech, and again when he left the stage, the university’s response was a different story. After all was said and done, he was swiftly punished. The very same day, NYU Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Strategic Communications John Beckman issued a statement accusing Rozos of “misus[ing] his role as student speaker to express his personal and one-sided political views.” This was shared with the news that the university was withholding his diploma while administrators pursue “disciplinary actions.” Rozos then received an email from the Office of Student Conduct saying that it had received an incident report alleging that Rozos engaged in behavior prohibited by the school’s conduct policy, that he would be required to attend a “conduct conference,” and that in the meantime, he would be prohibited from accessing any NYU facility or program.
Rozos, a gay Black trans man, studied cultural criticism and political economy at Gallatin, which means he’s spent much of his education thinking and writing about the interactions between culture and the economic conditions that produce it. A lifelong New Yorker, Rozos, who is also a professional actor — his 2019 acting debut was for the Peabody-nominated TV drama David Makes Man — is a committed Letterboxd user who loves theater and cooking competition shows.
Rozos explained he doesn’t “want any spotlight shone on me that makes my tiny contribution out to be larger than it is. What I did and what I risked is, in the grand scheme of things, miniscule.”
Asked about what he planned to say at commencement, he says, “I can’t say I decided what to say until the moment I got up to speak…I mean, I didn’t write a secret second speech beforehand to keep up my sleeve. I just slowly realized I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I spoke to a crowd of that size at this moment and acted like the genocide was not occurring or wasn’t on my mind.”
Rozos explains he was “never going to say something that wasn’t controversial,” and that every draft he presented to the school contained political speech in one way or another. “I knew I would ruffle feathers,” he tells me over email. He also knew of the doxxing campaigns pro-Palestinian public figures face, and the threats of violence he had already faced while protesting.
But, one thing he never expected? The public denunciation from the university itself. Rozos says he was told immediately after walking across the stage to receive his diploma that he “was banned from the all-university graduation commencement the following day,” with NYU’s statement following shortly after.
“I am glad if my speech served as a moment for all of us to turn our eyes back to Gaza and to renew our commitment to ending the genocide and to the struggle for Palestinian liberation.” When asked, Rozos explained he doesn’t “want any spotlight shone on me that makes my tiny contribution out to be larger than it is. What I did and what I risked is, in the grand scheme of things, miniscule.”
For Rozos, the last few weeks have been “odd.” In many ways, he’s like any new college graduate, spending his time looking for full-time jobs, bumping Chappell Roan, and spending time with his friends — cooking for them, going to trivia nights, seeing movies. But in other ways, of course, things can feel surreal. He was on the train a few days after his speech and saw a fellow passenger watching the video of his speech on their phone. He’s been recognized in public a couple of times — once at a noodle shop and another time when he was in a friend’s apartment building. He has received support from the solidarity movement for Palestine at NYU and in New York City at large. He says that groups for academic freedom and labor organizers, other gay and trans people, have all reached out to offer solidarity and encouragement. He even had support letters written to him or sent on his behalf by professors, artists, and activists from around the world. Someone even Venmoed him $20 with the subject line “courage,” which he thought was “so sweet.” (He gave that $20 to a Palestinian survival crowdfunding campaign.)
Although right-wing outlets published “pretty vile coverage” of him, Rozos regrets nothing. Right now, Rozos says he is about to start a job at a children’s summer program, and is also fundraising for a documentary called What Will I Become? about trans masculinities and depression. For the most part, this summer he plans to “mostly hang out with theater gays.”
He says, “I would love to sell some of my writing on politics and culture and maybe even, not to sound like every NYU student, write a book someday.”
Jew York City? Words, man, no call to action. Like . . . surround the fucking kidnappers. Put your cars in the way. Take the air out of their fucking SUV’s. Throw paint on their Gestapo windshields.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani posted a video to social media on Sunday explaining immigrants’ right to refuse to speak to or comply with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, days after federal agents carried out a raid in Manhattan.
In the video, Mamdani vowed to protect the city’s 3 million immigrants, saying, “We can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.”
He explained that people in the U.S. can chose not to speak to federal immigration agents, film them without interfering and refuse their requests to enter private spaces. ICE agents cannot enter spaces like a home, school or private area of a workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge, Mamdani said.
“ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent. If you’re being detained, you may always ask, ‘Am I free to go?’ repeatedly until they answer you,” said Mamdani, who will be sworn in as mayor on Jan 1.
His comments came a week after demonstrators gathered as ICE attempted to detain people on Canal Street near New York’s Chinatown. A similar immigration sweep in the same neighborhood last October was also met with protests.
“New York will always welcome immigrants, and I will fight each and every day to protect, support, and celebrate our immigrant brothers and sisters,” Mamdani said in Sunday’s video.

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki claimed in a recent interview that Jews controlled the giant tech companies Apple and Google.
Appearing on Palestine TV on July 18, Maliki was asked about a claim that appeared on Instagram – which was later proved to be false — that Apple Maps and Google Maps had removed the name “Palestine” from their apps.
According to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Maliki said that a petition should be launched, “but this is not enough, as it is clear that these two companies have obvious orientations.”
“It is obvious who owns them, and the Israeli-Jewish influence on them is also obvious,” Maliki asserted. “All this makes them biased towards Israel.”
In a recent interview, Alex Karp said that his company Palantir was “the most important software company in America and therefore in the world”. He may well be right. To some, Palantir is also the scariest company in the world, what with its involvement in the Trump administration’s authoritarian agenda. The potential end point of Palantir’s tech is an all-powerful government system amalgamating citizens’ tax records, biometric data and other personal information – the ultimate state surveillance tool. No wonder Palantir has been likened to George Orwell’s Big Brother, or Skynet from the Terminator movies.
Oh, those Jews:
Palantir, a Denver-based software company that holds extensive contracts with the U.S. government, is using its software to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement compile data to track down undocumented immigrants and deport them, The Washington Post reported.
From the limp, milquetoast Guardian:
Does this make Karp the scariest CEO in the world? There is some competition from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Palantir’s co-founder Peter Thiel. But 58-year-old Karp could give them all a run for their money in terms of influence, self-belief, ambition and – even in this gallery of oddballs – sheer eccentricity. In his increasingly frequent media appearances, Karp is a striking presence, with his cloud of unkempt grey hair, his 1.25x speed diction, and his mix of combative conviction and almost childish mannerisms. On CNBC’s Squawk Box, he shook both fists simultaneously as he railed against short sellers betting against Palantir, whose share price has climbed nearly 600% in the past year: “It’s super triggering,” he complained. “Why do they have to go after us?”

The Republican chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services committees pushed back Wednesday on the Pentagon’s reported plans to consolidate some of the nation’s combatant commands and cancel a plan to modernize the structure of U.S. Forces Japan. “[W]e will not accept significant changes to our warfighting structure that are made without a rigorous interagency process, coordination with combatant commanders and the Joint Staff, and collaboration with Congress,” Rep. Mike Rogers and Sen. Roger Wicker said in a news release Wednesday. Citing a Pentagon briefing document and an unnamed defense official, CNN reported Wednesday that the Pentagon is considering plans to shrink the U.S. military by consolidating combatant commands, eliminating a directorate overseeing joint force development and training. The plans would also cancel the restructuring of command and control of USFJ to better integrate with Japan’s Self-Defense Forces. The Defense Department maintains 11 combatant commands, which are composed of units from two or more service branches and are focused either on geographical area, such as U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, or function, as does the U.S. Transportation Command. The plans call for the merging of European Command and Africa Command into a single command based in Stuttgart, Germany, CNN reported. Closer to home, Northern and Southern commands would be consolidated into an entity called AMERICOM, the report said.

“Let the American people see two people standing on a capsized boat or sitting on a capsized boat and deliberately killed, and decide for themselves whether they’re proud of what the country is doing.” Adam Schiff said. “I can’t imagine people will be proud of that,” the California senator said, arguing that the U.S. should instead prosecute people who bring drugs into the country. “We shouldn’t be simply killing people at sea who are not even coming to this country.”
The cities of Eugene and Springfield announced Friday evening that they would discontinue the use of AI-powered license plate cameras connected to the company called Flock Safety.
The announcements, issued in separate press releases, come after months of public pushback. Opponents said the cameras could be used to track innocent people and put vulnerable residents at risk of surveillance by federal agencies. Police argued the cameras were key in solving numerous cases, including some involving violent crime.
“Effective immediately, the Eugene Police Department has ended its contract with its current Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) vendor, Flock Safety,” read the announcement from EPD, which was released at 7:20 p.m. Friday.
“The department has identified vulnerabilities and limitations that raise concerns about the system’s ability to meet EPD’s operational needs, data security requirements, and community expectations,” the statement continued. “After further evaluation and internal discussion, the department has decided to discontinue the contract.”

The Space Force’s new dress uniform saw its first official use with the graduation of newly commissioned officers from Officer Training School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., on Thursday, a base press release said. Seventeen guardians graduated into being officers at the ceremony, according to the release. About 100 trainees become officers in the service each year, it said. The uniforms’ first formal use was originally expected to be at a graduation ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland this month. The Space Force, which has roughly 9,400 members, announced in September that sizing for the service’s first dress uniform would begin by the end of the year after the uniform spent about four years in development. Since Space Force’s establishment in 2019, its members have primarily worn the Air Force’s dress uniform.
[The Texas Tech University System restricted how professors can discuss race and gender in the classroom Monday, banning content that advocates for one race or sex as “inherently superior to another,” according to a memo sent by Chancellor Brandon Creighton to the system’s presidents.
The new policy prohibits professors from promoting “race or sex-based prejudice.” It defines “advocacy or promotion” as “presenting these beliefs as correct or required and pressuring students to affirm them.”]
Oh, those fucking freaks, here we are — Trump and Company getting teachers wherever they can: Professors are taking the brunt of the storm as new fights over the teaching of gender and race erupt in college classrooms.
An Oklahoma University (OU) student is accusing her instructor of religious discrimination after she received a failing grade on an assignment on gender for which she cited the Bible more than the assigned reading. Meanwhile, Texas Tech University recently released guidance to ban the teaching of more than two genders and restrict some topics regarding race.
Brian Evans, president of the Texas conference of the American Association of University Professors, said the ousters are “very difficult to see because it creates a chilling effect for other faculty who want to make sure that their students have the ability to discuss the topics that the students want to discuss. So to have to play censorship, that certain topics can’t be taught in a class, especially those that are related to the class, just seems a little bit strange, because students want to ask questions, want to explore ideas.”
It all began in an English course titled “Literature for Children” at Texas A&M and a summer session student recording a professor’s response to her objections to some of the course material.
Professor Melissa McCoul was sharing a graphic called a “gender unicorn” that demonstrates concepts of gender expressions, identity and sexuality while going over the class reading “Jude Saves the World,” a novel about a 12-year who comes out as nonbinary, according to The Texas Tribune.
The city of Guadalajara in Mexico is scheduled to host four World Cup matches next year, and labourers are working around the clock to revamp infrastructure in time for the tournament.
On account of frenzied construction, the city’s roads are presently a bona fide mess, constituting a perpetual headache for those who must transit them.
But Guadalajara has a much bigger problem than traffic. The metropolis is the capital of the western state of Jalisco, which happens to possess the highest number of disappeared people in all of Mexico.
The official tally of Jalisco’s disappeared is close to 16,000, out of a total of more than 130,000 countrywide. However, the frequent reluctance of family members to report missing persons for fear of retribution means the true toll is undoubtedly higher.
Now, with the World Cup fast approaching, Mexican authorities are also working overtime to sanitise Guadalajara’s image. For months, local officials have been threatening to remove the portraits and signs from the towering “roundabout of the disappeared” in the centre of the city, effectively re-disappearing them.
I recently spent five days in Guadalajara and paid a visit to the roundabout, a few kilometres’ walk from my accommodation. The closer I got to the site, the more posters proliferated across electrical poles and sidewalk planters featuring the faces and identifying information of the disappeared. Some of these posters also appeared plastered in larger form onto the monument itself.
There was, for example, 32-year-old Elda Adriana Valdez Montoya, last seen in Guadalajara on August 10, 2020. And 19-year-old Jordy Alejandro Cardenas Flores, last seen on May 19, 2022, in the nearby city of Tlaquepaque. There was 16-year-old Cristofer Aaron Leobardo Ramirez Camarena, last seen in the Jalisco municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga on April 21, 2024. And 67-year-old Martha Leticia Diaz Lopez, last seen in Guadalajara on June 27, 2025.
In the case of Cardenas Flores, the poster specified that the young man had been “taken” on May 19 by agents from the state prosecutor’s office, from which appointment he never returned.
While there is a tendency to blame Mexico’s astronomical disappearance rates on violent drug cartels, including the notorious Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the government is thoroughly implicated in the phenomenon, as well – whether by direct action, collaboration with criminal outfits, or simply in terms of safeguarding the panorama of near-total impunity that permits such crimes to flourish.
It bears underscoring, too, that the vast majority of disappearances took place following the launch in 2006 of Mexico’s so-called “war on drugs”, which not only failed to resolve the drug issue but also set the stage for more than 460,000 homicides in the country. The war effort was backed by – who else? – the United States, which rarely misses out on an opportunity for blood-soaked hemispheric meddling.
But heaven forbid World Cup spectators be subjected to such a morbid reality – although it is becoming rather difficult to cover up the discovery of mass clandestine graves and hundreds of bags containing human remains in the vicinity of the Guadalajara football stadium.
While in Guadalajara, I spoke with Maribel Cedeno, a representative of the Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco (Warrior Searchers of Jalisco), one of various collectives dedicated to the search for the missing in the face of willful government inaction. Her brother, Jose Gil Cedeno Rosales, was disappeared on September 21, 2021, in Tlajomulco de Zuniga.
As Cedeno commented to me, “absolutely nothing has changed” during the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, who assumed office last year after promising a more sympathetic approach to the issue of Mexico’s disappeared. Once in power, Sheinbaum apparently forgot her own pledge, effectively condemning countless Mexicans whose loved ones are missing to a state of continuous psychological torment.
Remarking on the expansive measures the government is pursuing to provide security for the World Cup, Cedeno demanded: “But where is our security? Where is the security for our family members, or for those of us whose lives are at risk because we are searching for the missing?”
They are good questions. And yet they are not ones that are keeping the authorities up at night.
In March, the Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco discovered a clandestine crematorium on a ranch outside the town of Teuchitlan, an hour from Guadalajara, which was reportedly utilised by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as a recruitment and training centre in addition to an extermination site.
Curiously, Mexican authorities had seized the ranch months earlier, but hadn’t managed to notice any of the human bone fragments or the hundreds of shoes littering the place.
On my final day in Guadalajara, I took an Uber out to the ranch, which appeared on the Uber app as “Campo de adiestramiento y exterminio” – training and extermination camp.
Thinking better of it, I put the Teuchitlan town centre as my destination, and while en route proposed to the driver that I pay him in cash to swing by the ranch, as well. He made the sign of the cross, but agreed.
A gregarious middle-aged man from eastern Jalisco, the driver had spent 11 years as an undocumented worker in California and Oregon; his son was studying engineering at a university in Michigan. He had personally known several people, including two sisters, who had been disappeared from his hometown, and lamented that the only time the Mexican authorities seemed inspired to seek justice for homicides was when the victims themselves had been members of the security forces.
And although a die-hard football fan, the driver said he could not justify the state’s decision to pour massive quantities of money into a World Cup spectacle that would not remotely benefit the average Mexican.
In Teuchitlan, we took a brief stroll around the town’s colourful central plaza and bought a few beers, then programmed our destination to “Campo de adiestramiento y exterminio”, which led us down a dusty and isolated road patrolled by an ominous black vehicle. When we found the camp blocked by the Mexican National Guard – an outfit with which I have had my fair share of unpleasant run-ins – we returned to battle the traffic of Guadalajara.
To be sure, it is in the distinct interest of the Mexican government to retroactively cover up whatever it can about Teuchitlan, which has already caused enough damage due to the uncharacteristically wide international media coverage the case received.
But at the end of the day, Mexico is itself one big mass grave. And while efforts to bury that grave for the World Cup may be a first-half goal for organised crime and complicit politicians alike, the score could still be settled in the second half – by the people who refuse to let their disappeared loved ones be definitively disappeared.

Europe and Spain are spending on weapons the money that Extremadura needs for hospitals, schools, and also in the countryside. And it’s that Europe has cut the CAP by 22%, when Extremadura doesn’t need tanks or bullets, it needs money for its public services. — Irene Montero
Spanish Member of European Parliament Irene Montero has ignited controversy after calling for Spain to leave NATO, accusing the alliance of endangering Europe by aligning with the United States and Israel. In a fiery statement, Montero said, “Israel and the U.S. — not Iran — have nuclear weapons. And only the U.S. has ever used one.”
She warned that NATO does not protect Europe, but instead “drags us into Trump’s wars,” invoking the memory of the Iraq invasion and insisting Spain must not repeat past mistakes.
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Montero’s comments have sparked fierce debate in Brussels and beyond. Is Europe truly safer under NATO? Or is it time to rethink transatlantic alliances?

Versus:
Amid an ongoing assault on its neighbors, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is attempting to improve its image by posting highly sexually suggestive content featuring its soldiers, changing the prevailing emotion of onlookers from outrage to lust.
A wide range of IDF thirst trap accounts—many with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of followers—proliferate on social media. These accounts are quietly sanctioned by the Israeli government, in an attempt, in its own words, to “appeal” to a young male demographic.
MintPress News explores the phenomenon of Israel using sex to whitewash its actions.
Babes Carrying Out Massacres
Since the October 7, 2023, attacks, virtually every user on social media has been exposed to images of Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure. But a large subsection of the internet—particularly young males—also see another side of the Israeli military. A myriad of IDF thirst trap accounts also pepper the internet. Pages like “IDF Babes,” “Hot IDF Girls,” and “Girls Defense,”—each with hundreds of thousands of followers across different platforms—post content sexualizing and lionizing female Israeli soldiers in equal measures.
The images and videos often come with explicit political messages. This weekend, for example, IDF babes posted a picture of an IDF soldier in nothing but a bikini, with the caption, “Corporal Dina stumbled across a Syrian T-34/85 tank in our Golan Heights,” thereby explicitly claiming the Golan Heights—Syrian territory illegally occupied since 1968—as Israeli.
Another common template for posting is the “on/off” format, featuring two pictures of the same woman, side by side: one in a combat uniform and another wearing little or nothing.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on 5 December that Tel Aviv’s 2026 defense budget has been set at NIS 112 billion ($34.63 billion), up from the NIS 90 billion ($23.4 billion) included in an earlier draft.

The loudest silence as I and other doctors and British citizens are witch-hunted by the ‘israeli’ jewish lobby is from the ‘anti-zionist’ jewish groups.
I am suspended. I have been arrested twice. My career is being destroyed. Every British institution has been weaponised against me.
And you are silent.
Your ‘anti-zionism’ is a theory. It is not a shield. You claim to oppose this ideology, but you do not stand with those it is crushing. You have sacrificed nothing.
You should be at the forefront of the resistance against the pro-’israel’ jewish groups. Instead, you are nowhere to be found…or worse, you are tone-policing, centring yourselves, or dictating what our movement and liberation should entail.
This shows one thing: you exist to protect your own identity as ‘the good ones,’ not to defend the principle.
But you see… your silence, cowardice and hiding is not a failure.
The fact that there are ‘israeli’ jews who have the chutzpah to call themselves ‘anti-zionists’ actually proves that the existence of ‘israel’ is for, and can benefit, all jews whether they claim to be ‘zionist’ or ‘anti-zionist’.
Benefit = settle on stolen Palestinian land.

In this powerful speech and follow-up interview, the suspended orthopaedic surgeon outlines the Thawabit – the Palestinian principles of liberation – and dismantles the two-state illusion.
She calls anti-Zionism inseparable from anti-Israel, rejects normalisation and demands full decolonization: Palestine from the river to the sea with Jerusalem as its capital.

Dr Rahmeh’s message captures a turning point: public opinion is moving fast and the old narratives are crumbling under the weight of Israel’s actions.
A reminder:

In city crackdowns, more than two-thirds of the people arrested had no criminal record at all, according to detailed reporting from multiple jurisdictions. These operations were described as public safety efforts, yet the data shows a completely different reality. ICE is sweeping up workers, parents, students, and long-term residents who pose no threat and have no criminal history.
The violations extend far beyond civil immigration enforcement. More than 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, some for days at a time, even after providing proof of citizenship. Several reported being kicked, dragged, or ignored when pleading for officers to review their documents. These are American citizens who were forced into detention purely because ICE refused to verify the information placed in front of them.
Lawful residents are also being targeted. People with valid visas, long-standing green cards, and pending applications have been arrested outside courthouses after scheduled hearings. In multiple states, ICE seized individuals who appeared at court precisely because the court instructed them to be there. These courthouse arrests triggered lawsuits from legal organizations that documented a pattern of unlawful detentions and a complete breakdown of trust in the legal process.
This is not the immigration crackdown that Trump or his Republican allies ran on. They said they would deport undocumented immigrants who are criminals, not every immigrant and certainly not US citizens.
Congress has the authority to investigate these abuses and expose how ICE’s enforcement system has moved away from the law. These documented patterns require immediate oversight before more families are torn apart and more citizens are placed at risk. Even Republicans in Congress should be furious. They need to know we expect them to be furious and take action to stop it.

Participants: Thousands of U.S. law enforcement officials from various agencies, including local police departments, the FBI, CIA, Border Patrol, and ICE, have participated. A former acting Deputy Director of ICE, Peter Edge, was noted to have trained in Israel as part of a counter-terrorism seminar.
Tactics Exchanged: The training focuses on “counter-terrorism” tactics, including surveillance, crowd control, racial profiling, and detention and deportation practices.
Technology: Israeli companies also provide technology and training to ICE, such as the Cellebrite phone hacking software and border surveillance technology.

‘Deadly Exchange’: US sends hundreds of law enforcement to Israel to learn ‘worst practices’ from IDF
Through police exchange programs, local and federal officials travel to Israel for training that advocates say further militarizes the police and exacerbates harm to marginalized communities. by Victoria Valenzuela
After George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin in 2020, advocates said that the knee-to-neck choke-hold used was “used and perfected to torture Palestinians by Israeli occupation forces through 72 years of ethnic cleansing and dispossession.” Members of the Minneapolis Police Department have been trained by Israeli officials.
Following that, when thousands of protestors took to the streets in the Black Lives Matter uprisings, police used racial profiling, tear gas, and other repressive crowd control techniques to quell the protestors. Salem said many of those practices were exported from the violence of Israeli forces.
“When police started using different kinds of weaponry against protesters, Palestinians were already very, very familiar with that kind of confrontation,” Salem said.
Between 2002 to 2009, the Los Angeles Police Department’s chief and deputy chief traveled to Israel for training multiple times. The deputy chief traveled as part of JINSA’s first cohort in their first law enforcement exchange program. During these trips, Israeli companies introduced the LAPD officials to facial recognition and drone technology manufactured in Israel. The police department also developed a “broken windows” approach, which “grows from the idea that constant policing of low-level disorder—through the targeting of Black and brown communities with constant police surveillance, harassment—will somehow deter serious criminal activity.”
After nearly 10 years of training with Israeli forces, the New York Police Department was exposed to have run a “demographics unit” that spied on Muslims and “treated basic acts of daily living as potential crimes,” which are techniques used by Israeli forces on Palestinians. In return, they adopted NYPD’s data collection method.
[Dave Koester on the possibility of an ICE detention center at the airport is more than just a political issue.
“It can be construed from a lot of different angles. I think that there’s concerns on some people’s minds about the economic impact of the stain of a detention facility on the town of Newport. There’s concerns about the loss of the helicopter and the safety of the fishing and recreational fleet and people on the beaches, the surfers that they save every year, over and over, lots of different angles of concern.
“My personal concern is that I care about our immigrant community. I care about their constitutional rights, and I can’t imagine having a facility in eyesight where people are absolutely being detained against their will, with no recourse, no representation. That is unthinkable to me, and I just can’t let that happen,” Koester said.
Waldport will be Jewish Again, MAJA.
Leila, a campaign organiser at JVP who asked that only her first name be used, told Al Jazeera the exchange programme is just one aspect of violent policing in the United States that has existed for decades.
“The violence that we’re seeing today in the US is 100 percent the result of white supremacy and anti-blackness and institutionalised racism in the US,” Leila said.
“The exchange programmes create the opportunity for US armed forces and Israeli armed forces to come together and swap tactics, and deepen the harmful practices and policies that already exist in both countries.”
‘Mosque crawlers’
Some US practices have been influenced by the infamous Israeli infiltration of Palestinian communities as well.
Lawrence Sanchez, a CIA officer who worked to establish the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) “Demographics Unit”, which consisted of informants known as “mosque crawlers” spying on Muslim communities, acknowledged the team drew inspiration from Israeli practices in the occupied Palestinian Territories, according to the report.
New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, using the 1993 bombings of the World Trade Center as a precedent, called the secret operation monitoring Muslims was “legal,” “appropriate” and “constitutional” on Friday.

Tithi Bhattacharya, a history professor at Purdue University, formally declined the Modern Language Association’s Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for South Asian Studies in protest of decisions by the MLA regarding Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
“This decision is not a reflection of the committee’s rigorous work or the value of the prize itself, but a stand taken in light of the institutional silence and policy decisions made by the Modern Language Association regarding the ongoing genocide in Palestine, including the MLA leadership’s appalling suppression of the Delegate Assembly’s right to vote on a proposed resolution to boycott, sanction, and divest from Israel,” Bhattacharya wrote Wednesday in a blog post about her decision.
She had been awarded the 2025 prize for her book Ghostly Pasts, Capitalist Presence: A Social History of Fear in Colonial Bengal, published in August 2024.
“I also hope that by declining, I can contribute to the urgent conversation about the ethical responsibilities of professional academic organizations when facing colonialism, brutal state violence, and genocide,” Bhattacharya wrote. “My book, which my generous colleagues on the committee have recognized, is about how colonial capitalism does not even spare ghosts. Against such power, I still believe our weapon remains solidarity.”
Dear colleagues on the MLA Executive Council,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to you and the members of the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for South Asian Studies Committee for honoring my book, Ghostly Pasts, Capitalist Presence: A Social History of Fear in Colonial Bengal with this prestigious award. I am genuinely appreciative of the intellectual recognition and the committee’s generosity in selecting my work.
However, after careful consideration, I must respectfully decline the prize.
This decision is not a reflection of the committee’s rigorous work or the value of the prize itself, but a stand taken in light of the institutional silence and policy decisions made by the Modern Language Association regarding the ongoing genocide in Palestine, including the MLA leadership’s appalling suppression of the Delegate Assembly’s right to vote on a proposed resolution to boycott, sanction, and divest from Israel.
As a historian of British imperialism, I cannot close my eyes to the colonial legacies, similarities and solidarities between the Palestinians and my people. Moreover, as an educator of the next generation I find that I cannot in good conscience accept an award from an institution that, in this moment, has failed to meet its moral obligations to principles of justice for Palestinian lives and academic freedom. If I did, I would not be able to face my students in my classes on Decolonization.
I also hope that by declining, I can contribute to the urgent conversation about the ethical responsibilities of professional academic organizations when facing colonialism, brutal state violence, and genocide. My book, which my generous colleagues on the committee have recognized, is about how colonial capitalism does not even spare ghosts. Against such power, I still believe our weapon remains solidarity.
My refusal is rooted in that solidarity with the people of Palestine, suffering and fighting for liberation, and with the scholars, students, and writers who have faced censorship or consequences for speaking out.
The dead are never dead, may they continue to inspire us to first mourn and then to organize.
Thank you once again for the great honor of the nomination and selection.
Sincerely,
Tithi Bhattacharya Purdue University

Machado, who has been living in hiding in Venezuela since the 2024 presidential election, has expressed interest in traveling to Oslo for the ceremony on Dec. 10.
“I was in contact with Machado last night (Friday) and she confirms that she will be in Oslo for the ceremony,” Kristian Berg Harpviken said.
“Given the security situation, we cannot say more about the date or how she will arrive,” he added.
Venezuela’s attorney general, Tarek William Saab, told AFP last month that Machado would be considered a “fugitive” if she travelled to Norway to accept the peace prize. He added that Machado is accused of “acts of conspiracy, incitement of hatred, terrorism,” and noted that she is under investigation for her support of the United States’ deployment of military forces in the Caribbean.

Milken viewed the securities laws, rules, and regulations with a degree of contempt, feeling they hindered the free flow of trade. However, Stone said that while Milken condoned questionable and illegal acts by his colleagues, Milken himself personally followed the rules. Milken often contacted Fred Joseph, Drexel’s president and CEO, with ethical questions; Joseph was known for his strict view of the securities laws.

The diminished strength and influence of Hezbollah in Lebanon, after the Tehran-backed group fought a war with Israel, and the downfall of the Assad regime in Syria last year have curbed Iran’s ability to affect events across the region.
“So in my view, it is definitely Israel that is the troublemaker and should be reined in by the United States,” Prince Turki told an audience in Abu Dhabi. He referred to Israel’s persistent attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, as well as Syria, as evidence that it is “feeling its oats”.
“By bombing Syria almost on a daily basis, continuing to bomb Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank, and also in Lebanon where there’s supposed to be a ceasefire, they [Israel] are hardly a harbinger of peace in our part of the world,” Prince Turki said.
GCC members states have announced plans for a joint air defence system. GCC Secretary General Jasem Al Budaiwi has said the initiative will be finalised “in the near future” and it follows attacks on Qatar this year by Israel and Iran.
The Israel strike, which targeted Hamas negotiators in Doha as they studied Gaza ceasefire proposals, was a “warning sign” that showed the GCC must unite to defend itself, Prince Turki said.
“It’s not unusual for us as the GCC to work together to defend ourselves,” he added, pointing to the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, when US forces came to the region’s aid in Operation Desert Storm.

Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia said on Thursday that they were boycotting next year’s Eurovision Song Contest because Israel would continue to be allowed in the competition.
Many Eurovision fans have agonized over Israel’s participation since its military began an incursion into Gaza after the Hamas-led attacks two years ago. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepened, several member countries said Israel should no longer take part in the musical event.
On Thursday, Israel’s participation in the contest was left unchanged during a meeting of Eurovision’s organizer, the European Broadcasting Union. RTVE, the public broadcaster that organizes Spain’s participation, then said in a news release that the country was boycotting next year’s event, which will be held in Vienna in May.
The broadcaster said it decided to withdraw after it asked for a vote on Israel’s suspension that was not approved.
Back to fucking dual use in the professional drug regeme:
Eli Lilly and Indiana University signed a $40 million research agreement on Dec. 3 that will beef up the availability and accessibility of clinical trials in Indiana.
Under the agreement, Lilly will pay IU up to $40 million over five years to increase access to clinical trials, opening the doors to patients who could benefit from Lilly’s latest medicines in development, Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks and IU President Pam Whitten jointly announced at an event at the IU School of Medicine downtown campus on Wednesday.
For Eli Lilly, the agreement is an opportunity to increase patient participation in trials, bring new drugs to market quicker and build readily available infrastructure that can be used repeatedly for clinical trials. For IU, it’s an opportunity for medical students and other students in the sciences to gain experience in pharmaceutical research that could prepare them to enter the life sciences industry at companies such as Lilly.
After Donald Trump announced planned tariffs on pharmaceutical companies, Ricks stated that he was “not so sure” that tariffs were needed and instead supported permanent lower tax rates in the United States, including 15% for business production, and an extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a law that Trump signed during his first term.

As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies,” the document said. “Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence.”

When fire broke out at the world’s largest battery energy storage facility in January 2025, its thick smoke blanketed surrounding wetlands, farms and nearby communities on the central California coast.
Highways closed, residents evacuated and firefighters could do little but watch as debris and ash rained down. People living in the area reported headaches and respiratory problems, and some pets and livestock fell ill.
Two days later, officials announced that the air quality met federal safety standards. But the initial all-clear decision missed something important – heavy metal fallout on the ground.
I am a marine geologist who has been tracking soil changes in marshes adjacent to the Vistra facility for over a decade as part of a wetland-restoration project. In a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, my colleagues and I were able to show through detailed before-and-after samples from the marshes what was in the battery fire’s debris and what happened to the heavy metals.
The batteries’ metal fragments, often too tiny to see with the naked eye, didn’t disappear. They continue to be remobilized in the environment today.

“A system of Jewish supremacy, wherein non-Jews are structurally discriminated against or excluded in a tiered scheme: some non-Jews have most of the rights… while most non-Jews live under severe segregation, separation, and domination… If it’s not apartheid, it rhymes”
Leonard Cohen. In a poem from his 1975 collection The Energy of Slaves he wrote:
The 15-year-old-girls
I wanted when I was 15
I have them now
it is very pleasant
it is never too late
I advise you all
to become rich and famous.
Cohen was driven in particular by his hunger for young women. He was skilled at framing his lust not as a desire to consume, but as an homage to beauty. “When a woman becomes your content, and you become her content—that’s love,” he once said. It isn’t, of course—content is consumed, not cherished. It is interesting how many are willing to make excuses for the unforgivably selfish behavior of great artists—all of Cohen’s biographers do. But anyone who has read Cohen knows he was an extraordinarily keen observer of the human condition. So what excuse can be made for the way he treated women, time and again?
The most romanticized period of Cohen’s career was his time on the Greek island of Hydra, where he wrote novels, poems, and songs; mingled with other artists; and shacked up with the blond Scandinavian beauty Marianne Ihlen. As one of Cohen’s close friends, Steve Sanfield, put it: “There were revolutions going on in literature, and there was a sexual revolution, which we’d thought we won and we probably lost.” But it didn’t seem that way for a time on Hydra, with the yellow beaches and bronzed bodies and endless booze and conversation. As Cohen noted giddily in one interview, the fact that the sexual revolution exploded just as his desires did was “magic.”
The adults used that magic to live in Neverland as long as they could. But as Irving Layton’s wife, Aviva, noted, few marriages survived that island paradise (her husband insisted on an open marriage, which gave her great pain). Few children did, either. The histories of those raised on the island are rife with substance abuse, suicide, and institutionalization. Marianne’s son Axel never recovered and spent much of the rest of his life in mental hospitals.
For all the high-flown poetry, Cohen’s copulations were fundamentally cannibalistic. His biographer Sylvie Simmons writes that he tried to make women love him, withdrew when he succeeded, and used the subsequent heartbreak to fuel his writing. A line in his 1963 novel, The Favourite Game, sums it up: “Supposing he went along with her toward living intimacy, toward comforting, incessant married talk. Wasn’t he abandoning something more austere and ideal…something which could apply her beauty to streets, traffic, mountains, ignite the landscape—which he could master if he were alone?” Like so many artists, he deluded himself into believing that passionate promiscuity could be the pursuit of art.
It was the women and children who paid the price of these delusions. There is a trail of blood through Cohen’s canon. In Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories: The Early Years, musician Julie Felix says of Marianne: “He made her have five abortions. Five sounds about right. She told me. He has that song [“You Know Who I Am”] where he says, ‘I need you to carry my children in/And I need you to kill a child.’” Cohen’s friend Peter Katoundas recalled that one abortion had left Marianne sterile, which gave birth to these gruesome lines in Cohen’s song “Diamonds in the Mine”:
Fucking rapists and sex traffickers and pedophile rapists and blackmailers and ZIM/Murder Inc, and here you have the Jews defending and yukking it up about the fucking slime dirt shit named Jeffrey Epstein:
Fucking Jew siblings, man, what whores:This cunt Mark will be looking for money money money!
At an X-space discussion with Live Radio 1 on November 11, Mark asserted that, at first, he thought that his brother had committed suicide, as the FBI and other government agencies claimed.
“I had no reason to doubt it [the suicide claim]. He was facing a long time in jail,” Mark said. “The life of a convicted pedophile is not very pleasant and Jeffrey was used to living life the way he wanted, with people around who catered to him and took care of him….He had no kids, our parents are gone; he didn’t have anyone to worry about. I thought he took the decision not to go through a trial and potential prison sentence, and decided to take himself out.”
Mark said that, when he hired the renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, he expected Baden to confirm that his brother had committed suicide. However, he said that Dr. Baden instead said he couldn’t call it a suicide because it “looked too much like a homicide.”
Dr. Baden told 60 Minutesthat fractures found in the autopsy photos under Jeffrey’s neck and jaw were inconsistent with a suicide hanging. Baden said: “Going over a thousand jail hangings, suicides in the New York City state prisons over the past 40-50 years, no one had three fractures [as Epstein did].”[ Covert Action Magazine
But the newly released emails also raise ethical questions about the role played by acclaimed author Michael Wolff as he appeared to provide advice to Epstein on how to handle his dealings with Trump.
In the exchanges published by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, Wolff – best known for his bestselling books on the first Trump presidency – appeared to share confidential information before a presidential debate on CNN in December 2015 with Epstein, advising him on how to exploit his connection with Trump.
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you – either on air or in scrum afterwards,” Wolff wrote.
“If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” Epstein replied.
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,” Wolff told Epstein.
I’ve had Jeremy on my radio show, but whew, with Garland, man, that fucking Oreo Cookie, that Pig, so proud of his ACAB uniform days, yukking it up about a pedophile and sex trafficker and drug dealer and thief and, well, honey traps ALWAYS lead to murder and suicide. Amazing how calm Jeremy, a Jew, is. Very odd people! And then Garland is going homo-gridiron with the supposed Italian prison inmate who helped lift Jeff up to strangle him.
Fucking Jews: Summers and Epstein, the pieces of bar mitzvahed cunts of the world
Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers processes into the University’s 2018 Commencement ceremony. The former Treasury secretary remained in contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein until the day before Epstein’s arrest in 2019. By Amy Y. Li
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he sought guidance from a longtime associate: convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein.
In a sequence of texts and emails between November 2018 and July 5, 2019, Summers turned to Epstein for advice on his pursuit of the woman. Epstein was quick to chime in with assurance and suggestions, describing himself in one November 2018 message as Summers’ “wing man.”
The messages became public after House Republicans released more than 20,000 files from the Epstein estate on Wednesday. Summers’ correspondence with Epstein, a financier who pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, ends just one day before Epstein was arrested on new sex trafficking charges.
Together, the messages show Summers — who served as Treasury Secretary under former United States President Bill Clinton — placing an extraordinary degree of trust in Epstein, asking him for help in navigating a relationship that blurred the boundaries of his professional and personal lives.
Summers, who has been married since 2005, told Epstein he thought the woman was reluctant to leave him because she valued his professional connections. Epstein told him in one June 2019 text, “She is doomed to be with you.”
“Think for now I’m going nowhere with her except economics mentor,” Summers wrote in November 2018. “I think I’m right now in the seen very warmly in rear view mirror category.”
“She must be very confused or maybe wants to cut me off but wants professional connection a lot and so holds to it,” Summers wrote in a March 2019 exchange to Epstein, explaining why he believed she continued to engage with him despite tensions.
A spokesperson for Summers said that the woman described in the exchanges was never Summers’ student, but declined to comment further for this article.
In at least some of his exchanges with Epstein on the relationship, Summers appears to refer to macroeconomist Keyu Jin ’04, a tenured professor at the London School of Economics at the time, who is mentioned in a series of late 2018 messages between the two men.
In one, Summers forwarded Epstein an email from Jin asking for feedback on a paper. Summers mused to Epstein that it was “probably appropriate” to hold off on responding.
“She’s already begining to sound needy 🙂 nice,” Epstein replied.
Jin, who earned her bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. at Harvard between 2000 and 2009, declined to comment on the months of messages between Summers and Epstein. In the messages released by the House, she does not refer to a romantic relationship with Summers. It is not clear whether she was aware that Summers shared her emails or discussed her with Epstein.
Throughout the seven months of correspondence reviewed by The Crimson, Summers and Epstein referred to the woman Summers was pursuing in some messages by the code name “peril” but never used her name in messages directly describing the relationship. On at least two occasions, the two men discussed Jin’s emails to Summers, which he forwarded to Epstein. In later messages, the two men appeared to joke about the probability that Summers would have sex with the woman, apparently Jin.
Summers’ long relationship with Epstein has been well documented, but the depth of their conversations, including over intimate matters, became public only this week. He traveled on Epstein’s private airplane on at least four occasions, including at least three times while serving as president of Harvard. Summers also met more than a dozen times with him and solicited donations from the disgraced financier for his wife, Harvard English professor emerita Elisa New. The messages released Wednesday show Summers organizing visits to Harvard on Epstein’s behalf and discussing contributions for New’s work.
“I have great regrets in my life,” Summers wrote in a Wednesday statement to The Crimson. “As I have said before, my association with Jeffrey Epstein was a major error of judgement.”
The exchanges concerning Jin’s messages and Summers’ relationship began shortly before a November 2018 investigation from the Miami Herald surfaced accusations from 80 girls and women that Epstein had abused them between 2001 and 2006, drawing on court records and interviews. Summers continued to correspond with Epstein about his relationship even after the Department of Justice opened an investigation in February 2019 into Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.
Wednesday’s documents also revealed messages where Summers, whose speculation that innate differences between men and women could drive women’s underrepresentation in science contributed to the end of his Harvard presidency in 2006, joked about women’s intelligence and what he described as excessive penalties for men who “hit on” women in the workplace.
In an October 2017 email to Epstein, Summers retread the same terrain that had proven treacherous for him in the past, writing that he “observed that half the IQ in world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population….”
Summers has continued to teach at Harvard since, interrupted by brief stints in Washington, and currently holds Harvard’s highest faculty distinction as a University Professor. This semester, he is teaching two large undergraduate courses and one graduate class.
The first interactions between Summers and Epstein on his relationship with the woman — apparently Jin — appear in late November and early December 2018, when she and Summers seem to have met during an academic conference. For two days, Summers sent Epstein updates on his interactions with her.
On Dec. 1, Summers wrote that the woman had been “interested in my commentary on her outfits” and said he had “referenced your having figured us out” — suggesting Summers told her that Epstein was aware of their relationship.
Summers described his feelings as conflicted in the messages to Epstein, writing in remarkably candid terms.
“When I’m reflective I think I’m dodging a bullet,” he wrote. “Think right thing is to cut off contact. Suspect she will miss it. Problem is I will too.”
The next morning, Summers struck a different tone: “Game day at conference she was extremely good Smart Assertive and clear Gorgeous. I’m fucked.”
In messages from later that month, Summers and Epstein discussed Summers’ relationship with Jin’s father, a former high-ranked Chinese Communist Party official and the founding president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, who Summers had long been close with.
When Jin emailed Summers on Dec. 22 to thank him for his support of her and her father — minutes after she sent Summers an outline of an academic paper — Summers forwarded the exchange to Epstein, explaining that he had recently “sent a comment in mtg w her father flattering her father and saying other China officials had flattered him as well.”
Summers continued to detail his interactions with the woman — who appears to be Jin but is not named in the Epstein emails after December 2018 — throughout March 2019, now expressing frustration that she was canceling or shortening plans and appeared to be interested in another man.
“I think she is tired of this alas. Sustaining w secrecy hard,” he wrote.
The final tranche of messages, beginning in mid-June, shows the relationship still unresolved and Summers again turning to Epstein for guidance on how to pursue it. Summers asked Epstein whether it was “meaningful” to discuss the probability of “my getting horizontal w peril,” drawing parallels to forecasting Trump’s reelection.
“U r better at understanding Chinese women than at probability theory,” Summers told Epstein. The two men bantered about probability and mathematics, but repeatedly steered the conversation back to Summers’ relationship.
Epstein joked that “the probability of you in bed again with peril” was “0,” before reversing course and assuring Summers that “she is never ever going to find another Larry summers. Probability ZERO.”
Summers went on to describe what he saw as his “best shot”: that the woman finds him “invaluable and interesting” and concludes “she can’t have it without romance / sex.”
Throughout June, Summers fed Epstein updates about the woman’s workload and continued contact. Epstein urged him to play the “long game” and keep her in what he called a “forced holding pattern.”
The final messages, dated July 5, 2019, show Summers still in regular contact with Epstein. That morning, Summers wrote he was in Cape Cod with his family — “Bit of an Ibsen play,” he joked — and the two men exchanged a brief flurry of literary one-liners.
The thread ends at 1:27 p.m.
Epstein was arrested the next day.
A young Jeffrey Epstein plays the accordion at a bar mitzvah celebration, accompanied by a live band. The handwritten note at the bottom reads ‘Aaron Brown Bar Mitzvah, Wynn Hotel, Philly, Sept. 23, 1961.’
Amid the misogyny, however, runs another, less examined thread: traces of Epstein’s Jewish identity. The book reveals his Jewish name, Yudel; shows him squeezing an accordion at a bar mitzvah; records a family trip to Israel in 1985; and contains affectionate notes from childhood friends who grew up with him in the Jewish enclave of Sea Gate, Brooklyn.
It is a portrait of a man whose Jewishness, while never central to his public persona, was interwoven with his life story and social circles, which in later life included close ties with prominent Jewish figures like Leslie Wexner and Alan M. Dershowitz, both of whom contributed letters to the birthday book.
A letter signed “Leslie” features a drawing of a set of breasts below the words, “I wanted to get you what you want.”
Born in 1953 to Seymour and Paula Epstein, the children of Jewish immigrants, he grew up in Sea Gate, a gated community at the tip of Coney Island. In the 1950s and ’60s, Sea Gate was a predominantly Jewish, middle-class enclave, and the Epstein family lived across the street from the Kneses Israel synagogue, today affiliated with the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.
According to the 2017 investigative biography “Filthy Rich,” he was known to friends as “Eppy” and remembered as sweet and generous. He showed talent in math and the piano. Much of his extended family had perished in the Holocaust.
The birthday book adds new texture. A biographical note beneath his birth certificate appears to record his “Jewish name” as Yudel, a Yiddish form of the Hebrew name Judah. Before he took up the piano, Epstein played the accordion. A letter from his mother recalls him performing on the instrument at both his own bar mitzvah and that of his “uncle Lenny.” Another page features a photograph of Epstein playing the accordion, captioned “Aaron Brown bar mitzvah.”
A brief recollection by Epstein’s father notes that the family traveled to Israel in 1985 to visit relatives. The trip reflects a typical American Jewish connection to Israel, though with luxuries rare for the time, when Israel was far less developed than it is today. The account mentions stays at the Plaza Hotel in Tel Aviv and the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, “where my son Jeff hired a limo to take us around.”
This period in Epstein’s life coincided with his foray into international intrigue. In 1981, he founded Intercontinental Assets Group, a consulting firm he described as a high-level bounty-hunting operation, working at times for governments or billionaires and at other times for embezzlers themselves.
By the mid-1980s, he was traveling frequently across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and reportedly telling some people he worked in intelligence. He forged ties with defense contractors, financiers, and media baron Robert Maxwell, the father of his future girlfriend. One of his clients was Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who played a central role in the Iran-Contra affair by acting as an intermediary in the covert transfer of American weapons routed through Israel to Iran.
Several letters come from Jewish childhood friends, capturing the camaraderie of boys who came of age together in Sea Gate. These reminiscences are presented as tender and humorous, but they also hint at patterns that would later curdle.
One letter recalls Epstein’s antics at a Jewish singles weekend at the Concord Hotel, a Catskills resort that epitomized mid-century Jewish leisure. Epstein and his friends, the note says, were kicked out of the resort after setting a room on fire and throwing food. The letter also appears to recount a prank in which Epstein impersonated a rabbi to lure his daughter close, the payoff described as a chance to “touch her boobs.”
Alongside these youthful stories appear tributes from some of the most powerful Jewish figures in Epstein’s orbit as an adult.
A letter from Alan Dershowitz, the famed Harvard law professor, jokingly boasts that, as a birthday gift, he persuaded Vanity Fair to shift the focus of an article away from Epstein and onto former president Bill Clinton. The private equity titan Leon Black, a benefactor of the Jewish Museum and other Jewish institutions, signed off “Love and Kisses” after likening Epstein to Ernest Hemingway’s fisherman in “The Old Man and the Sea.”
Another letter comes from the real estate and media magnate Mort Zuckerman, a past president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Peter Mandelson, the British diplomat of Jewish heritage, and the late Nobel prize laureates Murray Gell-Mann and Gerald Edelman, the mathematician and biologist Martin Nowak, and the influential Harvard administrator Henry Rosovsky round out the group.
Many of the men who once praised Epstein have since sought to explain or distance themselves from the relationship. Wexner has said he was “deceived” by Epstein, who misappropriated vast sums of his fortune, while Dershowitz has downplayed the entry and denied any wrongdoing.
Black called the association a “terrible mistake.” Mandelson said he deeply regrets the relationship. Others, including Nobel laureates and prominent scientists, acknowledged Epstein primarily as a patron of research but later condemned his conduct.
Rosovsky, a refugee from the Nazis who shaped Harvard for decades including by nurturing Jewish life on campus, died in 2022 at age 95 without commenting publicly about the allegations against Epstein. Decades earlier, Epstein and Wexner had underwritten Rosovsky Hall, the home of Harvard Hillel, in his honor; the building had a plaque naming Epstein that was removed as he became associated with scandal.
Last month, Rosovsky was implicated in Epstein’s exploits for the first time, when a court transcript was released showing that Ghislaine Maxwell testified that he had received a “massage” — a euphemism for a sexual encounter — at Epstein’s townhouse.
The entry in the birthday book attributed to Rosovsky is in keeping with the dominant theme. “For the man who has almost everything — but never enough of these!” it says in handwritten cursive, alongside two color images labeled “tit print.”
Maria Farmer, Epstein’s earliest known victim and one of the few insiders willing to speak publicly in clear, unvarnished terms, has repeatedly described how Epstein racialised himself. Not merely in the sense of seeing himself as above others — most grandiose predators do that — but in specifically biological terms, tied first to his ancestry and then to his haplotype. Farmer recounts Epstein mocking her for her “European” ancestry, dismissing her as inferior because she was “white”, and insisting that he himself was not white. That claim is baffling to anyone who sees Epstein as just another white American financier. But for Epstein, the distinction was crucial. He believed his Jewish lineage marked him as biologically separate, and superior.
Farmer describes Epstein discussing his haplogroup at length — a specific combination of genetic markers he believed endowed him with particular intelligence, vigour, and evolutionary fitness. He told her, in all seriousness, that his Ashkenazi haplogroup placed him above the “ordinary” Europeans whose ancestry he viewed as weaker, less refined, or less valuable. Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly reinforced the same hierarchy, joining Epstein in mocking Farmer’s “white girl” lineage.
Survivor testimony is not a laboratory report; it stands or falls on credibility. But in Farmer’s case, her record of accuracy — especially regarding Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner, which she was the first to expose — makes her account more than plausible. It fits with what scientists and journalists later documented independently: Epstein’s near-messianic fixation on genetics, heredity, and the improvement of the human species through selective breeding.
The eugenics dimension
In August 2019, The New York Times revealed Epstein’s self-proclaimed plan to “seed the human race” with his DNA by impregnating up to twenty women at his New Mexico ranch. Other outlets reported his attempts to build a private “human colony” based on his genetic lineage. Epstein courted scientists steeped in IQ research, transhumanism, and hereditarian theories of intelligence: Charles Murray, Steven Pinker, George Church, Murray Gell-Mann, Stephen Hawking, and others. He funded research in genetics and neuroscience, attended academic salons on evolutionary selection, and used philanthropy to embed himself within scientific circles fascinated by biological enhancement.
In other words, when Maria Farmer says Epstein believed in the biological supremacy of his Ashkenazi haplogroup, she is not fabricating an isolated eccentricity. She is giving us the missing conceptual frame through which the rest of Epstein’s conduct — previously inexplicable — becomes coherent. The sexual predation, the recruitment of girls, the abuse of power, the blackmail, the connections to intelligence services, and the transhumanist ambition were not disconnected phenomena. They were different faces of the same, deeply pathological worldview.
According to Farmer, Epstein constantly talked about his “haplogroup” — something like “R-B”, she said (likely R1b or related). Farmer’s recollections suggest he had researched his own haplotype extensively and viewed it as elite or superior. Farmer also states that Epstein tied this directly to his “Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence”. Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly behaved the same way; Farmer has stated that Ghislaine also ridiculed her for being European-white, and joined Epstein in this racialised elitism. This again aligns with Maxwell’s own background: daughter of Robert Maxwell, who very openly emphasised Jewish identity, superiority complexes, and ethnic exceptionalism.
Even without bringing in anything speculative, Maria Farmer’s account shows that Epstein held a racialised hierarchy of ancestry: Epstein’s DNA was superior to Farmer’s European non-Jewish ancestry. He openly mocked “white” people, and specifically chose blue-eyed, blonde haired white girls as his victims in order to humiliate them and demonstrate his racial superiority.
An inverted mirror of the grooming-gang narrative
And this is where an unsettling irony comes into focus — a mirror image of one of Britain’s most toxic political narratives. For years, far-right commentators in England have insisted that the so-called “grooming gangs” were racially motivated: that “Muslim men” sought out young white girls, especially blonde and blue-eyed ones, in order to degrade English society and demonstrate their civilisational dominance. This story, repeated endlessly in certain tabloids and nationalist circles, claims that the victims were chosen for symbolic reasons — that their white ancestry made them targets. It is now well established that this reading is inaccurate, simplistic, and politically loaded. The Home Office has repeatedly stated that “race” and “white girl targeting” are not proven drivers in these cases. But the story persists because it satisfies a particular emotional need: the idea of white Britain under siege by racialised outsiders.
Yet if Maria Farmer’s testimony is accurate, something resembling this narrative — racialised humiliation through sexual exploitation — did happen. Just not where the far-right imagined it. Not in Rotherham or Rochdale, but in the penthouses of Manhattan, the mansions of Palm Beach, and the private island in the Caribbean. Not among marginalised immigrant communities, but in the elite world of a billionaire financier with connections to royalty, intelligence services, and global scientific networks.
Epstein appears to have chosen girls who visually represented the “European” phenotype precisely to degrade them. In Farmer’s account, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed appearance of his victims was not incidental — it was symbolic material. He viewed European ancestry as biologically weaker than his own and used sexual domination as a performance of that imagined supremacy.
In other words, the far-right’s favourite fantasy — a racialised predator humiliating white girls — is not a description of the British grooming-gang scandal. It is, rather, a grotesque inversion of what Epstein himself appears to have enacted.
This parallel is important not because it scores points in a culture war, but because it exposes something fundamental about the way racial ideologies function. The far-right constantly projects onto others the very impulses it refuses to acknowledge in itself: hierarchy, domination, fantasies of purity, and obsessive anxieties about who is breeding with whom. Their narrative about “foreign predators” mistreating white girls turns out to be a mirror held up to their own obsessions — obsessions that Epstein, in an entirely different social register, appears to have embodied. The story Britain tells about grooming gangs is a projection.
Why this changes everything
Epstein was not merely a predator or a blackmailer. He was, in his own mind, a genetic visionary — grotesque, delusional, and cruel, but nonetheless driven by a coherent ideology. Once we take this ideology seriously, Epstein’s network looks qualitatively different.
The standard model of his operation assumes a simple logic: (1) acquire victims for personal gratification; (2) use sexual access to curry favour with elites; and (3) employ kompromat techniques to gain leverage. This model, though grim, remains relatively narrow. It sees Epstein as a morally deranged opportunist, not an ideologue.
But Farmer’s testimony, combined with the documented eugenic dimension, suggests a fourth pillar: use victims as raw material in a racialised project of hereditary Jewish supremacy.
The ranch in New Mexico — long dismissed as a bizarre footnote — looks different through this lens. So do Epstein’s relationships with scientists, his obsession with IQ genetics, his fascination with human breeding, and his insistence on the biological distinctiveness of his own ancestry. The entire network reconfigures itself into a system that served three functions simultaneously: sexual exploitation, elite influence and blackmail, and a delusional programme of genetic “improvement” through personal propagation. It is a structure that begins to resemble the most nightmarish visions of twentieth-century eugenics — except privatised, globalised, and hidden behind the smiling, cosmopolitan veneer of the billionaire class.
The Mega Group
It is in this context that we should take a fresh look at Epstein’s connections with Les Wexner and the Mega Group. Epstein became Wexner’s financial adviser in the late 1980s, and Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney over his affairs in July 1991.Epstein managed many of Wexner’s assets and business matters, and the only publicly confirmed billionaire client of Epstein was Wexner. Wexner later said Epstein misappropriated “vast sums of money” from him and his family. Multiple accounts suggest that the relationship gave Epstein access to the Wexner networks, properties, and social circles. For example: the very large Manhattan townhouse that was later linked to Epstein was originally owned by Wexner.
Together with Charles Bronfman, Wexner also co-founded the Mega Group. Some sources claim that Epstein used or leveraged the Mega Group network to build his elite contacts. Establishing the exact link between Epstein and Bronfman via the Mega Group is hard to verify, however, because the Mega Group is a very private, loosely organised club; there are no public membership lists, no formal charter, etc. There is a lot more that needs investigating here.
Maria Farmer recounts a time when she was at one of the fancy country clubs ran by the Mega Group and wasn’t allowed to go get food. When she called Ghislaine Maxwell and asked why she couldn’t eat there, Ghislaine replied: “It’s a Jewish country club. You’re not Jewish. They’re not going to serve you.” Commenting on this reply, Farmer expressed her astonishment: “This is how this woman spoke to me. This is how these people think. They honest to God think their DNA is better than everybody else’s. I swear to you, it was a theme all the time with them — with Eileen Guggenheim, with Jeffrey Epstein, with Ghislaine. It was a theme.”
The ideology behind the evil
Recognising Epstein’s genetic Jewish supremacism does not lessen the horror of his crimes; it sharpens our understanding of them. Predatory behaviour on its own can be explained by appetite and impunity. But when the predator believes he is biologically superior, when he mocks victims for their ancestry, when he envisions himself as a genetic seed for a future elite, the abuse becomes ideological. It takes on a meaning beyond personal gratification. It becomes the enactment of a worldview.
If Maria Farmer’s accounts are accurate — and there is every reason to treat them seriously — then Epstein’s crimes were rooted in an explicit belief in the hierarchical value of human DNA. His network was not merely a pleasure palace or a blackmail operation. It was, in Epstein’s diseased imagination, an inverted form of Nazism — a project of Jewish biological supremacy.
This does not require conspiracy theories. It requires listening to survivors, reading the documented record, and taking seriously the ideological dimension of a man who was, in his own mind at least, a eugenicist for the globalised Jewish elite.
Until that dimension is confronted, Epstein’s network will continue to be misunderstood — and the lessons of his crimes will remain incomplete.

This was 1947, and I had just turned eighteen. I was deeply interested, as I had been for some years, in radical politics with an anarchist or left-wing (anti-Leninist) Marxist flavor, and even more deeply involved in Zionist affairs and activities—or what was then called “Zionist,” though the same ideas and concerns are now called “anti-Zionist.” I was interested in socialist, binationalist options for Palestine, and in the kibbutzim and the whole cooperative labor system that had developed in the Jewish settlement there (the Yishuv), but had never been able to become close to Zionist youth groups that shared these interests because they were either Stalinist or Trotskyite and I always been strongly anti-Bolshevik.
He eventually stayed on a kibbutz for a few months in 1953 and had a positive experience of this spartan, egalitarian community:
The kibbutz where we lived, which was about twenty years old, was then very poor. There was very little food, and work was hard. But I liked it very much in many ways. Abstracting it from context, this was a functioning and very successful libertarian community, so I felt. And I felt it would be possible to find some mixture of intellectual and physical work. I came close to returning there to live, as my wife very much wanted to do at the time.

Moving on: The Cunt-Try Tis of Semen Drips, this time from Joe to Don!
A tenured professor at San José State University in California is fighting for her job after the university fired her last month over her pro-Palestinian activism – the first tenured faculty member fired from a public university in connection to campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza.
Sang Hea Kil, a longtime member of the university’s justice studies department and a faculty adviser for its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, is the latest in a growing list of university professors and staff who have been suspended, investigated and in some cases dismissed or forced out in connection to the wave of pro-Palestinian protests that swept US campuses in the first year of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Kil, who is contesting her dismissal, was the second tenured faculty member dismissed from a US public university over pro-Palestinian activism after Steven Salaita, who was fired in 2014 from the University of Illinois over a series of social media posts critical of Israel’s bombing of Gaza that year. Maura Finkelstein, another tenured professor, was fired from Muhlenberg College, a private liberal arts college, following her criticism of Israel’s most recent war in Gaza, while Katherine Franke, a Columbia University law professor and longtime advocate for Palestinian rights was forced out amid what she called a “toxic and hostile environment for legitimate debate around the war in Israel and Palestine”.
Kil’s firing adds to mounting concerns about academic freedom and campus free speech at a time when universities are facing unprecedented pressure from the Trump administration – but her case also raises questions about faculty’s free speech rights when engaged in so called “extramural” speech outside the classroom.

Pledges strong action against anti-Semitism, as President Trump has politicized America’s long-standing bipartisan support for Israel and set a divisive tone as incidents of anti-Semitism and hate crimes rise
Speech Coincides with Campaign’s Launch of United for Mike, a Nationwide Effort to Rally Support Among Jewish Americans
MIAMI — During a major address at Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center and Tauber Academy, Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg discussed his Jewish identity and values and how his heritage will inform his presidency. He also addressed the dangerous rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the United States. President Trump has politicized America’s long-standing bipartisan support for Israel and set a divisive tone as incidents of anti-Semitism and hate crimes rise. Mike delivered his remarks as part of the launch of “United for Mike,” a nationwide outreach effort to rally support among Jewish Americans in support of Mike’s commitment to rebuild America and defeat Trump.
“I’ve spent a lot of time in synagogues in my life, but my parents taught me that Judaism is about more than going to shul,” Mike said in his speech. “It’s about living our values – including our obligations to help others, to ‘repair the world’ in the tradition of Tikkun Olam and to revere the miracle that is the state of Israel, which, for their generation, was a dream fulfilled before their very eyes.”
Nachum Segal, host of “JM in the AM,” opened the program. Other speakers included Abigail Pogrebin, National Director for Jewish Outreach for Mike Bloomberg 2020; best-selling author Rabbi Joseph Telushkin; and Patricia Halfen Wexler, co-founder and managing director of Starlight Ventures. Mike was introduced by Phil Levine, former mayor of Miami Beach, FL.
“As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and a Venezuelan who witnessed my community disintegrate under Chavismo, I am keenly aware of the importance of having a safe, welcoming, and thriving place to call home,” said Halfen Wexler. “This is why it is crucial – at this time of increasing partisanship – that we vote for a proven leader like Mike Bloomberg who is a pragmatic, compassionate, and reasonable executive who can bring our country together.”
During his remarks, Mike reaffirmed his lifelong support for Israel, including a commitment to provide unconditional military aid to Israel if elected president. He also outlined his policy to stop Iran’s effort to become a nuclear power.
“As president, I will work to make the strongest deal possible to constrain the Iranian regime’s aggression and territorial ambitions, and put an end to their nuclear program, because the world must never allow Iran to threaten Israel and the whole region with a nuclear attack,” Mike said.
Mike also assailed President Trump for politicizing America’s long-standing bipartisan support for Israel and his role in the rising incidents of anti-Semitism and hate crimes.
“When the President calls his supporters ‘real Americans’ – an echo of the language that nativists, anti-Semites, and the KKK used for many decades, – and when he is silent – and even supportive, through his words and tweets, as racist groups spread hate, he undermines our fundamental national values,” Mike said.
Mike said he would take strong action as president to reduce the number of anti-Semitic attacks and hate crimes by labeling them as “domestic terrorism” and charging those responsible. He also pledged to launch a national, coordinated effort led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice to crack down on violent extremist groups. Mike also wants to expand the Department of Education’s and Department of Health and Human Services’ “Stop Bullying Campaign” which was started in 2012 and works to end harassment in schools, including anti-Semitic activity.
Mike has been a longtime champion of Jewish causes in the U.S. and in Israel. He has provided support to UJA and his own synagogue, Temple Emanu-El, as well as Temple Shalom, his hometown synagogue in Medford, Mass. Mike donated to the renovation of the Magen David Adom emergency medical center in Israel in honor of his father and dedicated the pediatric wing of Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem in honor of his mother. In 2019, Bloomberg Philanthropies launched a program to spur innovation in 12 Israeli cities, building on its work in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Be’er Sheva, which started in 2015. In 2014, he was awarded the inaugural Genesis Prize, a $1 million award that annually recognizes an honoree who has attained excellence and international renown, and whose actions and achievements embody the character of the Jewish people through commitment to Jewish values, the Jewish community and/or the State of Israel.
United for Mike is the national coalition of Jewish Americans who are supporting Mike Bloomberg 2020. As part of this outreach, Mike Bloomberg 2020 is announcing today that dozens of Jewish leaders from across the country will help build support for Mike’s candidacy by serving on the United for Mike Leadership Council. United for Mike will be hosting “Bagels for Bloomberg” events in communities around the country to share Mike’s record and vision with Jewish Americans.
This is how fucked up the news (sic) is: Unlike the United States, which operates eleven nuclear aircraft carriers, Chinese models require frequent refueling, which limits their range, mobility, and endurance.

Oh, Jordan?
Israel is advancing a plan to develop a hospital on its territory to treat Jordanian patients as part of a joint Israeli-Jordanian industrial park along the border of the two countries, the Emek HaMaayanot regional council head tells The Times of Israel.
“One of the ideas is that [the hospital] might be a center for cancer treatment, so that people from Jordan or further away could come and receive treatment,” says Itamar Matiash, who heads the council in northern Israel that will house the Israeli side of the industrial park.
The park, dubbed the “Jordan Gateway,” will enable Israelis and Jordanians to cross between the sides to work on joint projects. An existing bridge, the Jordan River Crossing, already connects the two sides of the proposed Jordan Gateway zone, near the Israeli city of Beit She’an.
As Palestinians and Israelis were trying to work out their relationship, Israel did not cease to prefer a Jordanian option of sorts as a solution for the question of Palestine. So-called moderate Israelis, mostly those of the Labor Party, preferred the Allon Plan, named after the Labor Party minister, Yigal Allon; it called for large swaths of the Jordan Valley to be annexed to Israel while the remaining parts of the West Bank to become part of Jordan. The more right-wing Israeli Likud Party and its allies had an even more sinister plan, namely, to keep all of the West Bank and declare Jordan the Palestinian state.
Despite it being authoritatively debunked by Sheila Ryan and Mohammad Hallaj in 1983,1 the “Jordan is Palestine” idea became—and in some ways continues to be—an existential concern for Jordanians, who fear a potential increase in the number of Palestinians in Jordan. To them, the result would be the de facto elimination of their country to appease Israeli Zionists. Additionally, Ryan and Hallaj argued that this plan places the burden of Palestinian homelessness on Jordan and exonerates Israel.
Oh, those fucking Orthodox Jews First, Money First, too, and USA later: MAHA Activists Urge Trump to Fire His E.P.A. Administrator
As head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin has weakened protections against toxic chemicals, say members of the MAHA movement.
Last month, the E.P.A. approved the use of two pesticides that meet the internationally recognized definition for “forever chemicals,” which are also known as PFAS and are linked to serious health risks.
In July, the E.P.A. proposed allowing the use of the contentious herbicide dicamba on some cotton and soybean crops. And in May, the agency said it would delay deadlines for water utilities to limit two types of PFAS present in the tap water of millions of Americans.
“If our enemies were to write a plan on how to poison Americans and prevent us from growing our own food, this would be it,” said Zen Honeycutt, the founder and executive director of Moms Across America, a group closely linked to the MAHA movement.

China’s fertility rate has slipped to one of the lowest in the world, falling to just 1.01 births per woman in 2024, far below the replacement level of 2.1 needed to sustain a stable population. Even a decade of policy reversals, from the end of the one-child rule in 2016 to the introduction of a three-child policy in 2021, has failed to stem the decline. Births briefly ticked up during auspicious Dragon Years, long considered favourable for starting families, but the effect has grown increasingly faint: the 2024 Dragon Year lifted fertility by a mere 0.1.
The gorilla got it right:
The basic idea is that when our human population grows large enough, we will run out of resources, most important of which is food. Have you considered though, that as our population grows, humans themselves will become a food source to other humans?
Of course, our population may be growing too fast for our beliefs about the “sanctity of human life” to change enough to tolerate cannibalism. But what do you think about the possibility? Might we simply become a cannibalistic society and continue on our normal course?
The film Soylent Green, loosely based on Harry Harrison’s novel Make Room! Make Room!, depicts the “basic idea” you describe, but I’m afraid this basic idea is not only oversimplified but highly unlikely.
If our population continues to grow, at some point the biological infrastructure supporting it will collapse, producing widespread and profound environmental changes. If this occurs, the earth will very probably cease to be a habitable place for large mammals (as it once ceased to be a habitable place for dinosaurs), and this includes us; we won’t be able to “continue on our normal course” by eating each other, any more than dinosaurs were able to continue on their normal course by eating each other.

This procurement is the latest in a series of major purchases of Israeli arms by European nations, who are in a race to rebuild their own defense industrial bases and build capabilities, as they also continue to supply Ukraine with arms.

The shelter in Tijuana set up to welcome deported Mexican migrants from the U.S. has seen 12,000 people arrive at the facility through the end of November.
María José Juárez Becerra, director of Baja California’s Migrant Affairs Office, said all the migrants who have been brought to the shelter violated terms of their visas in the U.S., or were arrested in ICE raids or detained during the asylum process.
“And we’re seeing cases where people are voluntarily returning to Mexico like a tourist would normally come back,” she said. “We’re also seeing men being deported who have families remain in the United States, and we’ve seen entire families who decided to come back together.”

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, who convicted Taylor Taranto at a bench trial this year for a threat to federal buildings and for bringing weapons to President Barack Obama’s D.C. neighborhood, did not immediately order him back to prison, but said he would weigh the request over the next few weeks.
Uniformed Mercenaries! Double or Triple Taps?
Jews in the wing.
The phrase “triple tap on world kitchen in Israel” refers to the April 1, 2024, incident where Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strikes killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers in Gaza. The term “triple tap” refers to the multiple, consecutive missile strikes that hit the three-car convoy.
Key details of the incident:
The Attack An IDF drone launched three separate missiles at the WCK convoy vehicles, which were clearly marked with the WCK logo and traveling in a de-conflicted zone along a route coordinated with the IDF.
The Victims Seven aid workers were killed: Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha (Palestinian), John Chapman, James Henderson, and James Kirby (UK citizens), Zomi Frankcom (Australian citizen), Damian Soból (Polish citizen), and Jacob Flickinger (US-Canadian dual citizen).
Responses The IDF called the event a “grave mistake” and a “tragic event” that was not intended to harm non-combatants, while WCK founder Chef José Andrés and other external investigations claimed the convoy was systematically targeted.
Aftermath The incident sparked global outrage, and the WCK suspended its operations in Gaza for a period. The IDF dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others following its internal investigation.
“Israel’s commitment to liberalism has always been shaky. As a Jewish state, it fosters a form of ethnic nationalism rather than a civic one.” That argument flows easily into this policy advice: “A better U.S. policy would advocate for equality, citizenship, and human rights for all Jews and Palestinians living within the single state dominated by Israel.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to power in Israel with a narrow, extreme right-wing coalition has shattered even the illusion of a two-state solution. Members of his new government have not been shy about stating their views on what Israel is and what it should be in all the territories it controls: a Greater Israel defined not just as a Jewish state but one in which the law enshrines Jewish supremacy over all Palestinians who remain there. As a result, it is no longer possible to avoid confronting a one-state reality.

I found out that a dirty community college which I do not work for, and then an arts council, for which I have not connection, conspired to bulldoze my first amendment rights into the ground
Listen to my interview of two men, Kelly and Kevin, on my show, Finding Fringe: Voices from the Edge on a local radio station (will air Dec. 10) for which I am almost certainly about to be deep-sixed out/off the air since good Little Germans and Little Eichmann’s are part and parcel tied to the Democratic Party backers. And arts councils are usually Genocide Joe & Holocaust Harris backers!
It was KKK level stuff, since my name is also Kirk and Kevin is Kevin and Kelly is Kelly, then it’s an hour of KKK, now is that hate speech?
Well, not that KKK: State representative!
So the people who went to the venue today were told I was cancelled because of something I wrote, and then something about hate speech on Facebook? I have a non-public FB page, plus Fucker-Berg and Meta cancel so called hate speech.
Calling Jews Nazis?
Is that it? Hate? Speech?
Jews are worse than Hitler’s German Nazis? Jews in Israel then, they’re the Nazis? Jews supporting Israel, okay then they too are Nazis? Jews supporting genocide, is that Nazi enough? Those Jews in the Jewish State of Israel carrying out the genocide, okay, just the soldiers and the generals, they’re Nazis? Which category of rhetorical Nazi is hate speech?
And how many fucking Christians and Jews alike do this thought experiment: “If I was young and in Nazi Germany with the rise of Hitler, and if I had a few cohorts, hell, I would have assassinated Hitler and his top henchmen?”
Machetes to all Jews’ necks, err, that is, Jews who support genocide? Or am I limited to only the IOF soldiers bombing schools and hospitals and targeting journalists and doctors? They deserve machetes? Is it Hate SPEECH?
It’s a fucking Substack, folks, a thought experiment writ large, voluntary subscribers, sometimes getting into my rants blended with auto-fiction, blended with polemics and hyperbole and reality therapy and goddamn catharsis, but HATE SPEECH?
All mother fuckers making money from and working for Elbit, do they deserve machetes to the neck? HATE SPEECH? Hmm, how about . . . these fucking Jewish Terrorists of the Tech and Gestapo and Stasi kind? For instance . . .
Following this early financing from investors close to Israel’s intelligence establishment, the company went on to receive hundreds of millions in investment from a network of US venture capital firms with intelligence links to Israel.
These include Palo Alto-based Accel Partners, which has invested in more than thirty Israeli tech companies, including another Unit 8200 cyber spin-out, Oasis. Nir Blumberger, an Israeli who served in the IDF, was recruited by Accel from Facebook to open its Tel Aviv office in 2016.
Other Axonius backers include San Francisco-headquartered Bessemer Venture Partners which employs former Israeli intelligence operatives in a Tel Aviv office led by Adam Fisher. An American who emigrated to Israel in 1998, Fisher has acted as an intermediary between Zionists in Silicon Valley and the IDF, and during the genocide gave a presentation on how Israel can win the online war. Israeli Amit Karp, a partner at Bessemer Ventures and another former Israeli intelligence officer, sits on the Axonius board.
Menlo Park-based Lightspeed Venture Partners, which has backed Axonius with around $200 million over numerous funding rounds, also has significant ties to Israeli spy units. Yonit Wiseman, a partner at Lightspeed, spent six years in Israeli military intelligence, leaving in 2018. Her colleague, Tal Morgenstern, was a special forces commander in the IDF.
Given the evidence that Axonius is an Israeli intelligence cut-out, the scale of its penetration within the US federal government structure is extraordinary.
The company says its platform is ‘deployed in more than 70 federal organizations’ and is used by four of the five major US Department of Defense service agencies. The US federal government contract award website shows Axonius awards for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, which in itself means millions of personnel and their devices.
In November 2024, the company was selected by the Department of Homeland Security to modernize its cybersecurity abilities by centralizing ‘data coming from hundreds of separate data sources residing across dozens of federal, civilian, and executive branch agencies.’ Just a month later, in December 2024, the company was contracted by the Department of Defense to upgrade its system of 24/7 surveillance which oversees all on-site and off-site DoD computers and IT networks, a capability known as ‘continuous monitoring and risk scoring.’ And in April this year Axonius obtained authorization for any US federal agency to use its cloud-based cyber surveillance system.
Other federal departments integrating Axonius software include energy, transportation, the US Treasury and many others. Data from the US spending awards site shows the US Defense Logistics Agency, responsible for managing America’s global weapons supply chain, is the single largest Axonius customer, spending $4.3 million in 2023 alone. The Department of Agriculture has paid nearly $2 million for Axonius tools and the Department of Health and Human Services has spent $1.3 million since 2021.

Look, it’s small potatoes, not being able to give a master class on media literacy, really, media illiteracy and media manipulation, I know, a fucking rural Oregon county, on the coast, and a podunk arts commission whose mission is to water down and placate and provide non-controversial milquetoast crap to the county of Lincoln.
Yes, that is correct. “Hate speech” is not a category of speech recognized under current constitutional law. It is merely a convenient way to pigeonhole speech that some people find offensive. But what is very troubling is when people begin to treat “hate speech” as unprotected speech. For example, a student leader at Penn State, a university which was recently sued for its unconstitutionally vague and overbroad speech codes, made the following comment featured in a prominent article in the student newspaper The Daily Collegian:
“We support any and all university policies that prohibit intolerant actions against any student on this campus,” said Watson, adding that hate speech was not protected by the constitution. [Emphasis added.]
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a statement like this has been made. This belief has become somewhat pervasive, especially on college campuses, making it high time to put this fundamentally false and dangerous belief to rest.
There is no constitutional exception for so-called hate speech. The First Amendment fully protects speech that some may find offensive, unpopular, or even racist. The First Amendment allows you to wear a jacket that says “Fuck the Draft” in a public building (see Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15), yell “We’ll take the fucking street later!” during a protest (see Hess v. Indiana, 414 U.S. 105), burn the American flag in protest (Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 and United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310), and even give a racially charged speech to a restless crowd (see Terminello v. Chicago, 337 U.S. 1). You can even, consistent with the First Amendment, call for the overthrow of the United States government (see Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444). This is not a recent development in constitutional law—these cases date back to 1949.<
The U.S. Supreme Court stated the general rule regarding protected speech quite well in Texas v. Johnson, when it held:
The government may not prohibit the verbal or nonverbal expression of an idea merely because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable.
Federal courts have consistently followed this holding when applying the First Amendment to public universities. While invalidating sanctions placed on a fraternity for holding an “ugly woman contest,” a federal district court in Iota Xi Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity v. George Mason University, 993 F.2d 386, held:
The First Amendment does not recognize exceptions for bigotry, racism, and religious intolerance or ideas or matters some may deem trivial, vulgar or profane.
Furthermore, federal courts have consistently used this concept in striking down college speech codes that regulate offensive or unpopular language (for examples, see Doe v. University of Michigan, 721 F. Supp. 852, UWM Post, Inc., v. Board of Regents of University of Wisc., 774 F. Supp. 1163, and Bair v. Shippensburg Univ., 280 F. Supp. 2d 357). The law is so consistent that not one college speech code challenged in federal court has ever been left standing.
As you can see, it is settled law that public universities, in order to be consistent with the First Amendment, cannot regulate or suppress speech based upon its content, even when it is offensive, vulgar, profane, or unpopular. A university, especially one run with our tax dollars, should be a marketplace of ideas where open and vigorous discourse is encouraged and not suppressed by crafty speech codes and the threat of disciplinary sanctions.
The big problem for proponents of hate-speech laws and codes is that they can never explain where to draw a stable and consistent line between hate speech and vigorous criticism, or who exactly can be trusted to draw it. The reason is that there is no such line. — Jonathan Rauch, “A new argument for hate-speech laws? Um … no,” The Washington Post (Feb. 4, 2014).
My first slide:
Another part of my master class:
Hasbara = Stringing carefully selected and sanitized words together then produces a narrative and framing that “makes sense” to people. It becomes clear what is good and bad, who is good and bad, who we should (of course) support and who we should (of course) oppose, despise, reject, even eradicate. Nothing more has to be said. Anything we hear or read fits neatly into it.
•In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the state-controlled drug soma did not just induce feelings of relaxation and happiness; it helped the user forget. Israeli escapism works similarly; it recognizes that pleasure is inherently political.
•Israel’s own diplomats admitted as much, too. “We see culture as a propaganda tool of the first rank, and I do not differentiate between propaganda and culture,” said Nissim Ben-Shitrit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2005. Three years later, another Israeli diplomat, Ido Aharoni, put it more bluntly: “It is more important for Israel to be attractive than to be right.”
The olden days: Detail from The Fin de Siècle Newspaper Proprietor, an illustration featured in an 1894 issue of Puck magazine. Amid the flurry of eager paper-clutching public, one holds a publication brandished with the words “Fake News”.
More stuff from the class: “Challenging Israeli ‘Hasbara’ and ‘Conventional Wisdom’ on Palestine: An Anti-Colonial Reframing”
Israel’s success in “selling” its wars and oppressive colonial practices lies in its ability to condense its political position into one succinct sentence. “Israel,” the hasbara/PR line goes, “is a small, democratic, Western [subtext: white] country besieged by Arab/Muslim [subtext: dark, irrational] terrorism.” That hits about every buzz-word possible, buzz-words being terms that carry a large load of self-evident understandings, emotions and associations that do not require explanation. Recently, for example, The Intercept, an American left-wing news organization, revealed a memo from The New York Times that
instructs its journalists to avoid using the terms “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing” and “refugee camps” when writing about Palestine. It directs them to steer clear of referring to areas of Palestine as “occupied territory” — and, even further, discourages referring to Palestine as “Palestine” whatsoever. In addition, the memo claims that words like “slaughter,” “massacre” and “carnage” are often too emotional to describe Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
Ahh, moving along as I pull apart my PowerPoint presentation:
According to Starmer, the machine “makes us more human.” These were the exact words he uttered in reference to AI back in June at the Tech Week conference in London. Starmer is a true evangelist for AI. In January when rolling out the UK’s ‘AI strategy’ he said (and again this sounds almost too cartoonishly villainous to be true, but it is) that his government was going to “mainline AI into the veins of the UK.”

Well, since ICE is coming to Newport, a little reality here:
You do not need to be undocumented to land on ICE’s radar anymore. You just need to know someone who is. Or post something they do not like. Or even just open a text message. Maybe you just so happened to pass through a place where their network of systems are set in place. That could be a protest, a courthouse, or even at a traffic stop.
It’s not all anti-American: We are now in a death loop in which the BBC becomes ever more craven to the billionaires, thereby shifting the political centre of gravity ever further rightwards. Much of the British public have been convinced by the billionaire-owned media that the BBC is actually “leftwing”. And as a result, the right grows ever more confident in advancing the billionaires’ self-interested agenda, knowing there will be no pushback.
WHY? The media directed the so-called protests: Marches did occur in the United States — but not for Palestine. Instead, protests were staged around the nebulous theme of “No Kings,” a reference to the imperious actions of the Trump administration. There were no demands addressing the fact that Congress — not just Trump — remains the main enabler of Israel’s genocide, having provided over $22 billion in arms since the assault on Gaza began on October 8, 2023.
There was no unified call to halt ICE operations and its Gestapo-like raids that terrorize immigrant communities. There was no unified demand to end illegal deportations or support immigrants’ rights.
Just how things are spun, is that now HATE SPEECH vis a vis New York Times, err, Jew York Times?
•Trinidadian villagers said that the two corpses that washed ashore had burned marks on their faces, making them unrecognizable, and that they were missing limbs, as if they had been blown up. Rather than acknowledging these deaths as likely victims of US terrorism, the New York Times, which first reported the story, described the bodies’ mutilated appearance as a “mystery.”
•The victims of recent US bombings hail from Venezuela, Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago, all territories with a centuries-long legacy of Indigenous and African anti-colonial resistance. Fishing communities have reported friends and relatives missing in the past three months, believing US forces likely bombed them. The Trump administration claims the boats were trafficking narcotics, but it has never presented any supporting evidence.
So, the Spanish American war was fomented and created on Hearst and Puitzer’s watch, false flag, and now, the same with the murder about to be committed on Venezuela.
The term “yellow journalism” began as a reference to Richard F. Outcault’s “Yellow Kid” cartoon. Because it was published in both The World and the New York Journal, “yellow kid journalism” or “yellow journalism” was a way to refer to the sensationalism that they were both known for. The Scranton Tribune questioned if “the American people really do read such trash in newspaper guise as is produced by Hearst, Pulitzer and the other members of the yellow-kid guild.”
When the Maine sank, “conspiracy theorists” throughout the United States argued that there was no proof Spain had done the deed. Most ships at the time were powered by coal. Dust explosions inside their hulls were not uncommon. Prompted in part by such disasters, Winston Churchill in 1911 began converting the British fleet to oil.
But itching for a fight, and lusting for empire, Theodore Roosevelt would hear none of it. He quit his government post and convened a rag-tag volunteer army of “Rough Riders” who invaded the island. “I killed a Spaniard with my own hands,” TR later screeched. “Look at those damn Spanish dead.”
Untold indigenous died in the “freeing” of Cuba…not to mention Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The war in the Philippines dragged on until 1904, where we crushed an indigenous resistance that had previously been fighting the Spanish. The death toll there was well in excess of 3,000. Anti-imperialists like Mark Twain and a wide range of Socialists, intellectuals and activists bitterly opposed the war.
But firm in his belief that the US had a divine mission to conquer “inferior races” in the building of a global empire, the Spanish War became a springboard for Theodore Roosevelt’s imperial career. He became president in 1901 when McKinley was assassinated. In 1906 he sent a “Great White Fleet” around the globe to proclaim the new American hegemony. He became a firm advocate for the disastrous US entry into World War I—until his youngest son Quentin was killed flying a fighter plane.
Thus, following the conquest of Hawaii, the Spanish War became the springboard of America’s global empire.
And it was based on an outright lie, in which the “conspiracy theory” that Spain had NOT sunk the Maine was proven beyond doubt. (source)
Discredited stories and false first responder accounts — of beheaded babies, children hung from clotheslines, and infants put in ovens — were used to exaggerate events of October 7 and create backing for Israel’s war on Gaza, AP reports
The New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Bret Stephens will speak at SMU on “Why You Should Want Israel to Win.” Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening as he makes the case for why you should want Israel to defeat Hamas — not just for its own sake, but in the interests of a lasting peace.
In an era of misinformation, Stephens challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths and ask the deeper questions]
More, now? New York Times columnist Bret Stephens again made the case for the Trump administration to overthrow Venezuela’s authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro, laying out six different reasons to support his case.
In a new column, Stephens argued there is a “vital American interest at stake,” that Trump rejected a “quasi-colonialist” bargain to get a large chunk of Venezuela’s mineral and energy wealth, and that there is a moral case for regime change. He also argued this case is different than Iraq or Libya’s to minimize the chances of an operation turning into “another fiasco,” and that the risk of inaction is larger than moving forward.
Is this HATE SPEECH or just nuanced detailed reporting: “Bret Stephens is Jewish and was raised in Mexico City, describing his identity as a Jewish-American with a “hyphenated” identity that he finds to be a source of richness. His Jewish background has influenced his life and career, including his time working at The Jerusalem Post.”
Example of Geofencing and False Info . . . Israeli public relations officials considered developing a “geofencing campaign” alongside an evangelical consulting company called “Show Faith by Works,” according to reporting from Haaretz.
The project would map every major church and Christian college in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, track worshippers’ mobile devices during services, and later target them with ads portraying Palestinians as terrorists and Hamas sympathizers. Filings describe it as “the largest geofencing campaign in U.S. history,” seeking to reach 8 million churchgoers and 4 million Christian students.
Ahh, I will never just REST my case. This cancelling and intolerance of my ideas and fucking with my free speech has been going on, yep, since I was fucking 13 years old. And has never ever stopped.
Joshua Maponga is a Zimbabwean born public speaker, author, philosopher, leader, musician, and social entrepreneur. He relocated to Zimbabwe from South Africa where he had spent over 20 years saying he had bowed to pressure to leave the country.
Background
He is the firstborn and the oldest of five children. Maponga moved to South Africa and Swaziland and then flew into London, United Kingdom at the end of 1998.
Maponga lived in Birmingham, Norfolk and then South Essex with his ex-wife. He moved back to South Africa and started a new job in Marketing, Consulting and Construction.
“Stop looking for the angel! Look for your neighbor! The miracle is not being pushed; the miracle is not in the water, the miracle is walking together! The healing begins when the collective ‘Human Desire’ of the farmer, korokozs, the teacher, the diaspora accountant, the mshikashika and the market vendor becomes stronger than the ‘Divine Hand’ of the entrenched elite!”
Joshua Maponga explains the impacts on Africans of the USA withdrawing USAID.
“Corrupt money, which was which was woking the streets , mopping children, taking them away from their mothers, fathers and uncles and calling them orphans. We don’t have orphans in Africa.” – Maponga Joshua
Do you think Africans gained or lost after the withdrawal of USAID?
H.E. Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao is the African Union Ambassador to the United States of America since December 1, 2016. She was nominated by HE Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, to lead the African Union Mission to the USA, the first bilateral diplomatic Mission opened by the AU in 2007.
As the African Union Ambassador to the U.S., Dr. Chihombori-Quao is fully committed to reinforcing the longstanding and deep historic, cultural and economic relations between Africa and the U.S. She plays a key role in reinforcing the African Union strategic partnerships with the United States, grounded on shared values and mutual interests. Ambassador Chihombori-Quao is a strong believer in the promise that the African Union-U.S. partnership holds and that a prosperous, peaceful and integrated Africa is a shared strategic interest.
Prior to her appointment, Ambassador Arikana Chihombori-Quao was a renowned family medicine doctor in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where she has been practicing medicine for the last 25 years. Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao is known internationally for her diligent efforts to improve healthcare systems, particularly in countries in Africa, and to promote women’s rights around the globe. Nearly 20 years ago, at a conference organized by then-Africa Resources, Presidents Nelson Mandela and Robert Muugabe presented the noted philanthropist with an Achievement Award. This was her first major distinction which she highly appreciates and cherishes.
In September 2013, Dr. Chihombori-Quao was one of four women who represented Africa at the International Conference on Women’s Rights, hosted by the Government of Argentina in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. She delivered a moving speech on the topic, “Violence against Women and its Worldwide Effect.” At this conference, Dr. Chihombori shared the stage with two Nobel Peace Prize winners: Rigoberto Menchu of Guatemala and Alfonso Perez Esquivel of Argentina.
Ambassador Chihombori-Quao has also been actively involved in various programs and projects of the African Union. Since 2012, she was the Chair of the African Union-African Diaspora Health Initiative (AU-ADHI) where she was involved in mobilizing the African Diaspora health professionals to assist in addressing the healthcare crisis on the continent of Africa.
In 2015 at the 25th AU Summit held in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dr. Chihombori-Quao was one of the fifteen women who received the “Women of Excellence Award” alongside President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Mrs. Joyce Banda, former President of Malawi, and Mrs. Winnie Mandela, the former first lady of South Africa, as well as several other prominent and remarkable African women.
It is worth indicating that upon graduating from medical school in 1986, Ambassador Dr. Chihombori-Quao did three years General Surgery at State University of New York in Brooklyn, NY, USA, and another residency in Family Medicine at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. She is a member of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and Tennessee Academy of Family Physicians.
The African Union must adhere to the principles of Competitiveness within the Union. Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao must be allowed to contest in the AU leadership election as long as she is willing and qualified to do so. Africans will no longer be on the sideline while the most qualified individuals are barred from positive contribution to uplifting the continent by those that are least capable, least qualified, and least visionary.

“The 55 African heads of states understand very clearly that in order for Africa to take its rightful place on the world stage; in order of sustainable development to come to Africa, the African Diaspora must be front and center of that conversation, “ affirmed then African Union President Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao in an African Union investment brochure. In a recent Farewell & Appreciation Town Hall Meeting, the newly ousted Chihombori-Quao affirmed her vision for Africa and the African Diaspora.
“I did not come here for a job,” proclaimed the admirer of Pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah about her move from her medical practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to Washington, DC to serve as the African Union’s ambassador to the United States. “It’s a calling.” However, with almost three years on the job, the African Union abruptly dismissed her.
“I’m a very impatient Black woman,” said the Historically Black Fisk University and Meharry College graduate during her farewell talk at Montgomery County’s Blair High School that centered on making Africa a powerhouse. She also talked about current polices of the former European colonizers and how they are a continuation of the 1865 Berlin conference, a more moderate view of LGBQT+ rights, the inclusion of the Diaspora in Africa’s struggles, and the power of women.
Even at Europeans carved up Africa at a table during the Berlin Conference instead of warring amongst themselves and later declaring them independent, the mother of five believes that Europeans are still colonizing Africa through many arrangements. She remains outspoken about a colonial tax on Africa that nets France about $500 billion each year. “It goes back to the Berlin Conference,” she said, “our continent is still under siege.” “How long are we going to say ouch, before I punch you in the goddamn face?” she asked.
She went on to acknowledge that same gender loving people are nothing new to Africa as she recalled growing up with “spinsters” who never got married, but lived with other women. “It wasn’t an issue,” she proclaimed. While she opposes outsiders defining African culture, behavior, and norms on sexuality, she said of same gender loving people, “let them be, let them be.”
Her plea for a more independent and progressive Africa calls for the inclusion of the African Diaspora. “We must go home,” she said as she told the story of a traditional African woman who marries and moves to her husband’s village where she is expected to wait on others. Then, the newlywed runs through the village naked to draw attention to her plight. Chihombori-Quao then turned to her UN fight with France and said, “Do you want to arrest 500 naked Black women?” to much laughter and a thunderous applause.
Chihombori-Quao then turned to her UN fight with France and said, “Do you want to arrest 500 naked Black women?” to much laughter and a thunderous applause.
As Benin President Patrice Talon announced that foreign reserves of the West African CFA – currency used by eight countries in the region – were to be withdrawn from France, Chihombori-Quao admonished, “Let’s keep our eyes on France.” She continued to rally, “France, keep your hands off Benin! Colonizers must get out of Africa!”
AfricaNews reports that some experts stressed that current foreign reserves arrangements with France keep African countries dependent on the European monetary policy, a situation others routinely labeled “neo-colonialism. ”In interviews with French broadcasters RFI and France 24, Talon reportedly said the current model was more of a “psychological problem” than “technical.”
Whether the breaking of this or other unbiblical cords are technical or not, Chihombori-Quao is not planning to go anywhere. She says her next move it to take France to the United Nations.
I’ve been here before: terminated from jobs, stopped from writing things, ghosted and gas-lit, banned from teaching at a college or two and even sanctioned at a K12 district, but it still stinks!
Calling a public official, a dirty politician, no less (that’s what many of us call politicians), a piece of shit? That’s it, no? Bye bye discourse. David Gomberg, Jew.
CANCELLED by the event sponsors and board.
They (OCCA) are scrubbing all evidence that the Oregon Coast Center for the Arts ever invited me to speak/give a master class. Ahh, two days before I was going to give a short, intense master class, cancelled.
Read the flyer above that is all over the county, pinned up here and there.
Here, my letter to the board:
Dec. 2, 2025
RE: Censoring my talk at the Newport Performing Arts building as part of the Hear Here series
TO: Oregon Coast Council on the Arts; David Gomberg, Editor of the Leader
What a sham, really, as I received a call today, Dec. 2, two days before my scheduled talk, around media and news literacy, at the PAC.
Wayne Caputo called me from an airport around noon, and alas, he was the one who basically convinced me to do a talk, and he approved of the theme and subject matter.
He told me that “the board” decided to cancel my presentation “based on things you’ve written.” I pressed him further, and he stated that “some board members were upset with the comments I made in a Commentary in the Leader tied to David Gomberg’s trip to Israel.”
Then he stated something about OCCA’s stated values and mission which they/he said I do not represent.
Censorship, that is for sure, a value I do not stand for. Denying the community OCCA is supposedly in favor of supporting through this discussion/master class on journalism, digital media and the death of critical thinking? Not a value I ascribe.
Again, stopping a preplanned event, 48 hours before, that is a sign of small minds, odd pressure from one or several board members, and outright blatant censorship.
Lack of critical thinking and holding to unfair rules of debate? OCCA’s values, that’s for sure. Having a member of the community publicize the event for the greater community to attend and then reneging on that discussion is antithetical to free speech and educational honesty. Again, OCCA is quite a culprit in this regard.
I am not going to go over just all the issues your censorship covers. The unprofessional manner of contacting me so late in the game, well, that goes without explaining. My reputation being sullied by this? Hmm, what lies have you conjured up as to why the “Hear Here” talk for Dec. 4 has been cancelled. I see you scrubbed my talk from your website. Such efficient censors you all are!
Caputo, Eastman, Richardson, Gardner, Jones, Madnick, Burke, Klose, Shreiber, Llumiquinga Perez, Ledonne, Sinnamon, Pridgeon, Chadwick – what small minded, cloistered and strange people you are, involved in The Arts, no less.
It doesn’t take long to wash the stink away from my mouth after hearing about and cogitating around this cancellation. Yes, censorship. Podunk Newport, sure, but the land under Trump and before, Biden, well, well, what censorious fools both parties represent. You are welcomed into both camps, I am sure.
Just two months ago, Chris Hedges, a well-known journalist, who is listed in my PowerPoint talk, just faced the same sort of little Gestapo treatment in Australia:
Hedges’s scheduled address to the National Press Club of Australia was canceled. The speech, titled “The Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists,” was intended to discuss the high number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza and the media’s pro-Israel bias. The cancellation drew significant criticism, with Hedges and others stating it was due to pressure from the club’s sponsors, some of whom are embedded in the Israeli war machine. Hedges later delivered the full, uncensored speech online.
Oh, the list of how badly Americans of both parties treat truthtellers and so-called outside the mainstream news reporters, well well, it can fill books. Project Censored was also part and parcel included in my presentation. Your little action fits that great nonprofit’s work around just how badly Americans treat writers, thinkers and the Press.
What a failure of leadership and vision AND values to quash discussion. This talk is/was about media and the press and how quickly people in the West have been propagandized to the hilt, causing a mass collective misunderstanding of history, breaking news, contexts around news events, and just plain denuding of basic clear thinking.
You failed your own mission and soiled the value of debate, discourse and discussion on a super valuable and relevant topic for a small community, Newport. To add to this infamy, a few comments in the local newspaper attributed to me involving a public figure, a politician, no less, as being another basis for cancellation is both infantile and retrograde.
How dare you, Caputo, Eastman, Richardson, Gardner, Jones, Madnick, Burke, Klose, Shreiber, Llumiquinga Perez, Ledonne, Sinnamon, Pridgeon, Chadwick, that you individually and collectively even breathe a word about values. What a disgrace you are associating yourselves with “the arts,” an even more troubling reality surrounding your pedestrian and sad Board.
Shame on you.

Was it this?
“But make no mistake about it – the US, Britain and Germany are the major weapons suppliers to Israel. However, there are literally tens of billions of dollars going back and forth from and to that genocidal state.
Sort of like the good old days when Hitler and his regime had that back and forth commerce, with, hmm: German and international corporations like IG Farben, Ford, General Motors (GM), IBM, and Standard Oil. There were hundreds of smaller companies.
We have now in Lincoln County, thousands losing their Medicare Advantage plans through Samaritan Health. And what are the democrats up against the republican reprobates doing?
Well, we have two senators, one who is Israel-First and who puts his Jewish background above America, for sure, in many people’s minds: The genocide campaign has killed more than 350,000 Palestinians, almost all civilians, and left the rest of the population of Gaza in plots of land that make concentration camps look livable.
Sen. Jeff Merkley co-sponsored six bills in September 2024 to halt a $20 billion U.S. arms sale to Israel. Some of it: $675 million worth of bombs and a shipment of 20,000 assault rifles to Israel.
“We have a profound moral responsibility to end this collective punishment of innocent civilians,” Merkley said in a statement, adding that until the Israeli government makes critical international food and medical aid available to Palestinians in Gaza, the U.S. should not send any more weapons.
Yet, the other senator, Ron Wyden, voted with all Republicans against stopping the military killing materiel to Israel.
Even non-Jewish Merkley drops caveats in his statement: “Every moment the U.S. fails to demand a massive influx of food or to provide that massive influx of food ourselves, we are complicit in Netanyahu’s strategy of starving Palestinians. This breaks every moral code and every religious code. Until every child and every mother have sufficient nutrition, America should not send a single dollar or a single bomb to Netanyahu’s government. No more bombs. More aid.”
Some of us journalists go way back (since 1973) and we’ve even studied rhetoric and propaganda and taught college communications (since 1983).
Let it be known: Israel has been practicing genocide since 1948, and has been an apartheid state the same number of years. “Mowing of the lawn” was a practice Israel used to murder peaceful protestors and medical workers going to the aid of wounded protestors. Before Oct 2023.
This is not one man’s or one Israeli government’s genocide. Most Israeli Jews want Palestinians gone. Troubling, also, is these Americans supporting Israel with any sort of financial and military and non-military aid are complicit.
Just a month ago the world’s largest association of academic scholars studying genocide passed a resolution saying Israel’s “policies and actions” in Gaza “meet the legal definition of genocide,” established by the U.N. in 1948.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars states that Israel’s “policies and actions” in Gaza amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Aiding and abetting war crimes is a crime. The crime of genocide.
This society is broken, and has been way before Ronald Reagan, for sure, but like exponential growth of a bacteria left to grow, each year there are more deaths by 1,000 cuts to social, health, education, economic, spiritual social safety nets.
Throwing money at the MIC – Military Industrial Complex – for seventy years, and throwing money at Israel for 77 years has done its work by lining the pockets of CEOs, bankers, billionaires in finance, and now the techno fascists. Names like Ellison, Altman, Ackman, Karp, Zuckerberg, Adelson, Brin may not be on readers’ tongues, but beware of these new titans of pain.
Former CIA analyst and now activist, Ray McGovern calls that military machine the MICIMATT: Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence- Media-Academia-Think-Tank Complex.
In reality, a society that has outrageous costly and failing medical care for all, let alone seniors, is a society that has been bought and sold down the river. For profit medicine? For profit electricity? Telecommunications? Hell, we can’t even run our own county’s school busses anymore without paying a for-profit outfit to transport our kiddos – Student First, owned by EQT Infrastructure, a Swedish private equity firm.
If you were to take one of my critical thinking writing courses from a few years ago, you’d be flummoxed with these sorts of stories. You’d be exposed to censored stories and memory-holed history. You would have learned about amazing facts which have been held back from the average American citizen.”

Were these the offending words in a commentary I wrote?
“….I remember telling my daughter, who never got to meet my old man, her grandfather, that I was diametrically opposed to his 32 years in the US military. I told her that I even ended up in Vietnam two years before she was born to work with a science team from England.
I visited all parts of Viet Nam, after doing intensive biodiversity studies along the Laotian border.
She has some of my large prints of kiddos on motorcycles piled high with live chickens. She has a photo I took of a female Buddhist monk near where a more famous monk self-immolated in protest of the US and French backed repressive South Vietnamese president.
That is Ho Chi Minh City, called Saigon back then.
It was just before 10 in the morning on June 11, 1963, when 300 monks and nuns marched down a busy Saigon street. This 73-year-old monk named Thich Quang Duc emerged from a car at this crowded intersection and sat down in the lotus position on a cushion. Two fellow monks poured gasoline from a five-gallon can. As the fuel was emptied over his head, Duc chanted, “Nam mo amita Buddha,” — “return to eternal Buddha.”
Sixty years later a similar event was repeated here in the USA, although in this intentionally amnesiac and superficial society, it seems like a distant memory. But my friend from Wisconsin talks of this hero much.
That distant memory occurred just over a year ago—February 25, 2024. Remember? Twenty-five-old Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington in an act of protest against the Gaza genocide.
Less than two years ago, and I have students who are afraid of calling “it” a genocide. I have fellow faculty in many parts of the country who are not just chastised for supporting innocent Palestinians but are fired.
Is this newspaper going to get the “hammer” or “ax” for republishing Aaron’s words before he set himself on fire?
“I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force. And I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers—it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
The last words of his life were ‘Free Palestine.’”

In good company, Chris Hedges, who I don’t always agree with, but words, man, discussion. In October 2025 (future date in search results, likely recent/current event), Hedges’s scheduled address to the National Press Club of Australia was canceled. The speech, titled “The Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists,” was intended to discuss the high number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza and the media’s pro-Israel bias. The cancellation drew significant criticism, with Hedges and others alleging it was due to pressure from the club’s sponsors, some of whom are embedded in the Israeli war machine. Hedges later delivered the full, uncensored speech online.
Text of the Rockford College graduation speech by Chris Hedges, author of the book, War Is a Force That Gives us Meaning)

I want to speak to you today about war and empire. Killing, or at least the worst of it, is over in Iraq. Although blood will continue to spill—theirs and ours—be prepared for this. For we are embarking on an occupation that, if history is any guide, will be as damaging to our souls as it will be to our prestige, power, and security. But this will come later as our empire expands and in all this we become pariahs, tyrants to others weaker than ourselves.
Malcolm, Martin and Mahatma united in global protest, February 15, 2003 —photo Tanbou
Isolation always impairs judgment and we are very isolated now. We have forfeited the good will, the empathy the world felt for us after 9-11. We have folded in on ourselves, we have severely weakened the delicate international coalitions and alliances that are vital in maintaining and promoting peace and we are part now of a dubious troika in the war against terror with Vladimir Putin and Ariel Sharon, two leaders who do not shrink in Palestine or Chechnya from carrying out acts of gratuitous and senseless acts of violence. We have become the company we keep. The censure and perhaps the rage of much of the world, certainly one-fifth of the world’s population which is Muslim, most of whom I’ll remind you are not Arab, is upon us. Look today at the 14 people killed last night in several explosions in Casablanca. And this rage in a world where almost 50% of the planet struggles on less than two dollars a day will see us targeted. Terrorism will become a way of life, and when we are attacked we will, like our allies Putin and Sharon, lash out with greater fury. The circle of violence is a death spiral; no one escapes. We are spinning at a speed that we may not be able to hold. As we revel in our military prowess—the sophistication of our military hardware and technology, for this is what most of the press coverage consisted of in Iraq—we lose sight of the fact that just because we have the capacity to wage war it does not give us the right to wage war. This capacity has doomed empires in the past. “Modern western civilization may perish,” the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr warned, “because it falsely worshiped technology as a final good.” The real injustices, the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, the brutal and corrupt dictatorships we fund in the Middle East, will mean that we will not rid the extremists who hate us with bombs.
Indeed we will swell their ranks. Once you master people by force you depend on force for control. In your isolation you begin to make mistakes. Fear engenders cruelty; cruelty, fear, insanity, and then paralysis. In the center of Dante’s circle the damned remained motionless. We have blundered into a nation we know little about and are caught between bitter rivalries and competing ethnic groups and leaders we do not understand. We are trying to transplant a modern system of politics invented in Europe characterized, among other things, by the division of earth into independent secular states based on national citizenship in a land where the belief in a secular civil government is an alien creed. Iraq was a cesspool for the British when they occupied it in 1917; it will be a cesspool for us as well. The curfews, the armed clashes with angry crowds that leave scores of Iraqi dead, the military governor, the Christian Evangelical groups who are being allowed to follow on the heels of our occupying troops to try and teach Muslims about Jesus. (Hedges stops speaking because of a disturbance in the audience. Rockford College President Paul Pribbe now takes the microphone: “My friends, one of the wonders of a liberal arts college is its ability and its deeply held commitment to academic freedom and the decision to listen to each other’s opinions.” [Crowd Cheers]
If you wish to protest the speaker’s remarks, I ask that you do it in silence, as some of you are doing in the back. That is perfectly appropriate but he has the right to offer his opinion here and we would like him to continue his remarks. [fog horn blow, some cheer].
The occupation of the oil fields, the notion of the Kurds and the Shiites will listen to the demands of a centralized government in Baghdad, the same Kurds and Shiites who died by the tens of thousands in defiance of Sadaam Hussein, a man who happily butchered all of those who challenged him, and this ethnic rivalry has not gone away. The looting of Baghdad, or let me say the looting of Baghdad with the exception of the oil ministry and the interior ministry—the only two ministries we bothered protecting—is self immolation.
As someone who knows Iraq, speaks Arabic, and spent seven years in the Middle East, if the Iraqis believe rightly or wrongly that we come only for oil and occupation, that will begin a long bloody war of attrition; it is how they drove the British out and remember that, when the Israelis invaded southern Lebanon in 1982, they were greeted by the dispossessed Shiites as liberators. But within a few months, when the Shiites saw that the Israelis had come not as liberators but occupiers, they began to kill them. It was Israel who created Hezbollah and was Hezbollah that pushed Israel out of Southern Lebanon. As William Butler Yeats wrote in “Meditations in Times Of Civil War,” “We had fed the heart on fantasies / the hearts grown brutal from the fair.” This is a war of liberation in Iraq, but it is a war now of liberation by Iraqis from American occupation. And if you watch closely what is happening in Iraq, if you can see it through the abysmal coverage, you can see it in the lashing out of the terrorist death squads, the murder of Shiite leaders in mosques, and the assassination of our young soldiers in the streets. It is one that will soon be joined by Islamic radicals and we are far less secure today than we were before we bumbled into Iraq. We will pay for this, but what saddens me most is that those who will by and large pay the highest price are poor kids from Mississippi or Alabama or Texas who could not get a decent job or health insurance and joined the army because it was all we offered them. For war in the end is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of soldiers by politicians, and of idealists by cynics. Read Antigone, when the king imposes his will without listening to those he rules or Thucydides’ history. Read how Athens’ expanding empire saw it become a tyrant abroad and then a tyrant at home. How the tyranny the Athenian leadership imposed on others it finally imposed on itself. This, Thucydides wrote, is what doomed Athenian democracy; Athens destroyed itself.
For the instrument of empire is war and war is a poison, a poison which at times we must ingest just as a cancer patient must ingest a poison to survive. But if we do not understand the poison of war—if we do not understand how deadly that poison is—it can kill us just as surely as the disease. We have lost touch with the essence of war. Following our defeat in Vietnam we became a better nation. We were humbled, even humiliated. We asked questions about ourselves we had not asked before. We were forced to see ourselves as others saw us and the sight was not always a pretty one. We were forced to confront our own capacity for a atrocity—for evil—and in this we understood not only war but more about ourselves. But that humility is gone. War, we have come to believe, is a spectator sport. The military and the press—remember in wartime the press is always part of the problem—have turned war into a vast video arcade came. Its very essence—death—is hidden from public view. There was no more candor in the Persian Gulf War or the War in Afghanistan or the War in Iraq than there was in Vietnam. But in the age of live feeds and satellite television, the state and the military have perfected the appearance of candor. Because we no longer understand war, we no longer understand that it can all go horribly wrong. We no longer understand that war begins by calling for the annihilation of others but ends if we do not know when to make or maintain peace with self-annihilation. We flirt, given the potency of modern weapons, with our own destruction. The seduction of war is insidious because so much of what we are told about it is true—it does create a feeling of comradeship which obliterates our alienation and makes us, for perhaps the only time of our life, feel we belong. War allows us to rise above our small stations in life; we find nobility in a cause and feelings of selflessness and even bliss. And at a time of soaring deficits and financial scandals and the very deterioration of our domestic fabric, war is a fine diversion. War for those who enter into combat has a dark beauty, filled with the monstrous and the grotesque. The Bible calls it the lust of the eye and warns believers against it. War gives us a distorted sense of self; it gives us meaning. [A man in the audience says: “Can I say a few words here?” Hedges: Yeah, when I finish.]
Once in war, the conflict obliterates the past and the future all is one heady intoxicating present. You feel every heartbeat in war, colors are brighter, your mind races ahead of itself. [Confusion, microphone problems, etc.]
We feel in wartime comradeship. [Boos] We confuse this with friendship, with love. There are those who will insist that the comradeship of war is love—the exotic glow that makes us in war feel as one people, one entity, is real, but this is part of war’s intoxication. Think back on the days after the attacks on 9-11. Suddenly we no longer felt alone; we connected with strangers, even with people we did not like. We felt we belonged, that we were somehow wrapped in the embrace of the nation, the community; in short, we no longer felt alienated. As this feeling dissipated in the weeks after the attack, there was a kind of nostalgia for its warm glow and wartime always brings with it this comradeship, which is the opposite of friendship. Friends are predetermined; friendship takes place between men and women who possess an intellectual and emotional affinity for each other. But comradeship—that ecstatic bliss that comes with belonging to the crowd in wartime—is within our reach. We can all have comrades.
The danger of the external threat that comes when we have an enemy does not create friendship; it creates comradeship. And those in wartime are deceived about what they are undergoing. And this is why once the threat is over, once war ends, comrades again become strangers to us. This is why after war we fall into despair. In friendship there is a deepening of our sense of self. We become, through the friend, more aware of who we are and what we are about; we find ourselves in the eyes of the friend. Friends probe and question and challenge each other to make each of us more complete; with comradeship, the kind that comes to us in patriotic fervor, there is a suppression of self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-possession. Comrades lose their identities in wartime for the collective rush of a common cause—a common purpose. In comradeship there are no demands on the self. This is part of its appeal and one of the reasons we miss it and seek to recreate it. Comradeship allows us to escape the demands on the self that is part of friendship. In wartime when we feel threatened, we no longer face death alone but as a group, and this makes death easier to bear. We ennoble self-sacrifice for the other, for the comrade; in short we begin to worship death.
And this is what the god of war demands of us. Think finally of what it means to die for a friend. It is deliberate and painful; there is no ecstasy. For friends, dying is hard and bitter. The dialogue they have and cherish will perhaps never be recreated. Friends do not, the way comrades do, love death and sacrifice. To friends, the prospect of death is frightening. And this is why friendship or, let me say love, is the most potent enemy of war.
Thank you.
[Boos cheers, shouts, fog horns and the like]

Did this worthless board scan-seek on the Internet “Paul Haeder and David Gomberg” in their AI search?
Oregon is in shambles from the spineless democrats and the fascist Trump, but this fucking doughboy David Gomberg goes to the 51st State, Israel, or in the words of a great scholar, the USA is the Jewish State of Murder and Starvation’s BITCH:
Finally, as a legislator required to file an annual Statement of Economic Interest (SEI), you will be required to report the aggregate value of any paid expenses provided under ORS 244.020(7)(b)(H) on your 2025 SEI. As the source of the paid travel expenses, the Consulate General of Israel should provide you with a notice or a summary of the expenses paid.
Before David Gomberg and the other state legislators left Israel, each state was encouraged to plant a tree. Gomberg said he responded to a reporter’s question about what the tree planting meant to him.
“People who plant trees think of the future,” Gomberg replied. “I plant it today and think of a time in the future when Arab and Jewish children can sit in the shade of this tree in peace and friendship.”
Rep. David Gomberg, D-Otis and Rep. Emily McIntire, R-Eagle Point joined a bipartisan delegation of 250 legislators from across the U.S. for the trip.
The visit comes as the Israeli military begins its ground invasion of Gaza City this past week, pushing troops into the war-torn city after nearly two years of raids and bombardment. It also coincides with Oregon’s junior U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley introducing legislation calling for the U.S. to formally recognize a Palestinian state, according to an Oregon Capital Chronicle report filed before the trip.
Source: Two Oregon lawmakers are among 250 state legislators across the U.S. visiting Israel this week on a trip sponsored by the Israeli government.
Israel hosted Rep. David Gomberg, D-Otis and Rep. Emily McIntire, R-Eagle Point, on a trip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as the largest-ever bipartisan delegation of American lawmakers to visit. The Consulate General of Israel, calling the trip “50 States, One Israel,” is covering the lawmakers’ cost of air travel, lodging, ground transportation and meals between Sept. 13 and Sept. 18.
The visit comes as the Israeli military begins its ground invasion of Gaza City this week, pushing troops into the war-torn city after nearly two years of raids and bombardment. It also coincides with Oregon’s junior U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley introducing legislation Thursday calling for the U.S. to formally recognize a Palestinian state.
Gomberg, answering a phone call from the Oregon Capital Chronicle at 1 a.m. in Israel, said the week has been emotional, full of sleepless nights and that he’s still processing what he’s seen.

He said the group of lawmakers had the opportunity to ask Netanyahu and Israeli President Izaac Herzog questions and visit the music festival site where Hamas militants raided an Israeli community near the Gaza Strip, killing and kidnapping dozens in a surprise attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
At the same time, he said he heard bombs going off in Gaza a mile and a half away.
“I’m not here to support what’s going on,” he said. “I’m here to better understand what’s going on. I know Oregonians have strong opinions about this, so they deserve to have legislators who care about the facts and care about the people. Getting an opportunity to go to the places where this sad conflict began is very distressing.”
Gomberg, who is Jewish, said he understands if constituents and legislative colleagues are upset by his visit to Israel. Outside of the itinerary organized by the Israeli government, he said he and other lawmakers have met with local Israelis who believe the country is guilty of genocide in Gaza.
“Certainly the government of Israel has an agenda, but that doesn’t mean it’s my agenda or the agenda of all the legislators that are here,” he said. “I think it’s time for this conflict to end, and I’m trying to better understand why it’s continuing.”
Before the trip concludes Thursday, Gomberg said he and other lawmakers will meet with the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

McIntire said in an email from Israel that traveling to the country has always been a dream for her, and the trip has only solidified her support for Israel.
“To see what the Israelites endure, bomb shelters in every home or village, on the streets, the bus stops, and in hotel basements, knowing their children grow up with the sound of war, like thunder in the background, sirens at all hours of the day and night — and for what?” she said.
The trip will forever change her perspective, she said.
“These people fight to defend their country, their families, their freedoms, as would we — and we did — when terrorists attacked our country 24 years ago. Israel wants and desires peace, but for them, there is no peace if Hamas exists,” McIntire said.
