Sept 24, 2018 NY City Hall Presser. A rally to Support Victims of Sexual Assault
Click picture for Flickr slide show :
There was a counter protest. Standing quietly at a distance, but these ‘peaceful’ women on the city hall steps couldn’t handle a counter-message. One of them wandered over, attempting to destroy the Blasey-Ford sign held by a “horrid” WHITE male. Didn’t work, but the NYPD asked the assaulted party to please go outside the area. Obviously being unable to control the anti-Kavanaugh distaff protestors was the concern. Didn’t get a picture as I was filming the speakers. Glad to find this at [Twitter Jill Jorgenson]

UPDATED news. October 6, 2018. Judge Kavanaugh has been confirmed, the 114th justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court! But these angry, hateful Marxist-fed insurgents will never stop trying to destroy this honorable man. Our votes in November remain crucial.

Millennials for Revolution- sick – ( see Flickr slide show) Crazed “Believe Survivors” who now BELIEVE Kavanaugh to be an alcoholic – note their obscene clown.
As we await the final vote around 3: 30 pm today (Oct 6th) remember these PROGS will never relent; determined to take Trump down; to destroy any- ALL- conservative voices in Congress, as well as the Supreme Court. This IS war!
The future that William Ayers and the Obama Commies nurtured, bred an America electorate – dumbed down. A generation that does not know what they are losing. Led by these Marxist malcontents.
And it may to late to stop them.
This is what we saw on October 4th. Outside the Yale Club.
Older, but smarmy. snarky. An arrogant bunch of “Yalies” there to oppose all things Trump.
It’s not about Kavanaugh. No, it’s TRUMP. And we need to pray that G-d saves Judge Kavanaugh, as they congratulate themselves on their lies, lies and more lies.”
“Thank you to the organizers of today’s #YalekavaNo rally … your quick work is appreciated! Ethics matter! Lying to the senate is a crime! Treating women well matters!#nokavanaugh!
Note two Kavanaugh protestors, proud of themselves, Richard Ulger (Yale 1987- Delta Kappa Epsilon) and father Harlow Ulger (Yale 1953 ( or ’57) . Commissioner US Army. Yale Men’s Letter.”
They gleefully included his employer, Harvard, as the next cog in the anti-Kavanaugh Juggernaut (See Harvard UPDATE)
“Hundreds of alumni signed a letter calling on law school Dean John Manning to “rescind” Kavanaugh’s position as lecturer and prohibit him from teaching a three-week class titled “The Supreme Court Since 2005” this winter.
“We believe that Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment as an HLS lecturer sends a message to law students, and in particular female students, that powerful men are above the law, and that obstructive, inappropriate behavior will be rewarded,” says the letter, which the newspaper said is available online. “Judge Kavanaugh is not leadership material, and he is not lectureship material. HLS would be tarnished to have him on campus in any position of authority.”
The Crimson reported that the letter had 700 signatures by Monday, including alumni who graduated from as far back as 1959.” [NY Post]
Her awesomely unexpected well thought-out and fact-based speech sent the “progs” into an apoplectic fit, led by that well known women’s advocate (bizarre, but so she claims) : Linda Sarsour.
“Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour on Friday launched a racial attack against Sen. Susan Collins, saying the Maine Republican was guilty of espousing “white supremacy” with her decision to support the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Ms. Sarsour, a prominent Palestinian-American activist, blasted Ms. Collins on Twitter as a “white woman” and the “mother & grandmother of white women in America who gave us a Donald Trump presidency.” [Washington Times]
Slander vs the HONEST Truth: [Breitbart] “Annabelle Rutledge of the conservative Christian group “Concerned Women for America” came to Sen. Susan Collins’s (R-ME) ( saying) …. “I also know something else. And that’s that we can’t take the pain that we have from each of these experiences and put it on one man.”
The night before, an obscenely large crowd gathered outside the Yale Club to also protest this good man’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Barely Informed With Elad” has a great video, chatting up the “Hate and Destroy” Kavanaugh crowd.
The DELUDED Youth-on-Parade; the sad future of America.
Finishing up with Monday afternoon. As I approached the Yale club, I noticed flyers – surely from the night before – stuck to the side doors of Grand Central. We know it’s about WHITE men. Do not delude yourself otherwise.
FIGHT BACK. With new signs like this that support the truth. It’s a good start:
REMEMBER: “This investigation found no hint of misconduct and the same is true of the six prior FBI background investigations conducted during Judge Kavanaugh’s 25 years of public service,” the Senate Judiciary Committee chair said. [NY Post]
And more in DEFENSE of Judge Kavanaugh:
” ….listening to the Senators speak on the floor of the Senate, prior to the Kavanaugh vote and the Dems, one after another, start off talking about Christine Blasey Ford and “women who are survivors need to be listened to and believed”, etc and invariably they end up with a litany of issues about which they are concerned regarding the Supreme Court if/when he is confirmed. Some of them actually tried to discuss with Kavanaugh prior to the vote (that doesn’t mean he gave an answer, as that was not indicated). One Senator from Ohio said we need a Supreme court that will uphold the Affordable Care Act and guarantee comprehensive coverage for all citizens, who will guarantee women’s reproductive rights, and who will side with workers over corporations in labor issues. Let there be no doubt: THIS is what it was about. It was NEVER about Christine Blasey Ford and whether she was assaulted or whether other women who might have been assaulted are “listened to”. It is POLITICAL through and through.” [face book]
Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Everyman for the American Way. If he loses. We ALL lose. G-d help us.

On Sunday, September 16th, Ari Fuld, HY”D, (may Hashem avenge his blood), was brutally murdered in Gush Etzion, Israel by a Jihadist Muslim Arab.
After exiting a store, Ari was stabbed in the back. That didn’t stop Ari. Ari chased the terrorist and shot him. He made sure that the terrorist didn’t hurt anyone else. That was Ari. Our friend and protector.
Ari was a Zionist and warrior. He served in the IDF, was a reservist, worked tirelessly to raise funds to assist the soldiers and brought us news from Israel that we would never have seen unless he broadcast it. Ari was a non-stop activist for Israel; online and on the streets. He was a father, husband, brother, son . He was loved and respected worldwide.
Video Funeral of Ari Fuld הי’ד part 1
On Thursday, September 20th, 4:30 pm outside of the Permanent Observer Mission of the “state” of “palestine a vigil was held to remember Ari Fuld. To stand up for Israel and let the “palestinians” know that targeting Jews for murder must stop.

We will not be silent as our brothers and sisters are targeted for murder because they are Jewish in Israel. Remember the warrior.
Demonstrators gathered outside the British Consulate in Manhattan, organized by Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, on the day before Yom Kippur eve to denounce England’s Labour Party chief Jeremy Corbyn‘s anti-Semitism and the hate he has engendered in Britain’s political and social systems.[https://coalitionforjewishvalues.org] [/https://amchainitiative.org/about/]
Flickr slideshow
“Holding placards such as “Corbyn: Evil Anti-Semite. For Shame!”, 30 demonstrators descended on the British Consulate in mid-Manhattan on Monday, September 17th, the day before Yom Kippur eve, to demand that British Labour Party head Jeremy Corbyn either “do tshuva” or resign. The action was not against the current Conservative Party government, but of concern that given today’s political instability in England, Labour could assume power.” [Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns press release]
“Corbyn is leading Labour toward anti-Semitism, and British Jews are right to be worried. In 2009, he invited Islamist “friends from Hamas” to the House of Commons and said that the idea that the group “should be labelled as a terrorist organisation by the British government is really a big, big historical mistake.” In 2010, he hosted an event (also at the House of Commons) on Holocaust Memorial Day in which a Jewish Auschwitz survivor compared the Israeli government to the Nazi regime. In 2014, he attended a ceremony in Tunisia and reportedly laid a wreath on the grave of one the Black September terrorists who murdered eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Before the Iranian state broadcaster, Press TV, was banned in January 2012, he reportedly accepted up to £20,000 for his appearances on the channel.” [National Review]
Video 1 :Hebrew Institute of Riverdale Associate Rabbi Ezra Seligsohn declared in a talk punctuated by chants from the demonstrators: “We are here to raise the alarm about growing anti-semitism across the world that’s embodied by the man Jeremy Corbyn. At this time, just before Yom Kippur, we speak of tshuva, repentence. There are two ways, one in our brain — we read about Jeremy Corbyn, a problematic, evil person and think we don’t want him to come to a position of power. The other is what you standing here have done, act on your beliefs — and this is full tshuva, full repentence. When Corbyn equates Israel and zionism with Nazism, we say, am yisrael chai — the Jewish people live! When he links arms with terrorists, we say, am yisrael chai! When he shares platforms with Holocaust deniers, we say, am yisrael chai!” Rabbi Seigsohn concluded by blowing a shofar, a symbol of both a call to repentance and alarm.
Video 2 : Judy Kadish, co-executive director of Americans for a Safe Israel, added: “It’s so important that we come out and stand outside the British Consulate, representing a country which is now our ally. But Jeremy Corbyn is rising to power, not despite his anti-semitism, but using it as his lever to create a following. It’s scary. Former British rabbi Jonathan Sacks said that never in his lifetime did he think this would happen again, but here it is. We will not honor a man, Jeremy Corbyn, who’s honored terrorists, whose members have told Jews supporting Israel to resign from posts in the Labour Party. He should do repentance.” The crowd shouted: Corbyn resign! Corbyn resign!”.
Video 3 : New York Board of Rabbis director Rabbi Joseph Potasnik told the crowd and hundreds of passersby: “We can actually commend Jeremy Corbyn for something no one else has done — bringing both left and right together. They agree: he’s an anti-semite. You can’t stand with Hamas, call them honorable, and think you’ll be honored. You can’t stand at the graves of the Munich Olympic terrorists and say you’re honorable. We all hope for repentance because we believe in miracles, but Corbyn won’t, so let him finally do the honorable thing and resign. We will not go away until he goes away.”
“The snap demonstration came the day after the normally low-profile British Jewish community turned out 2500 protesters against Corbyn in Manchester, a clear sign of their deep distress over the spread of anti-semitic hate in Labour with Corbyn at its helm.” [Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns press release]
Powerful words on the floor of Parliament from British Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks , on growing anti-Semitism. He ended with, “I never thought I would see this in my lifetime … that is why I cannot stay silent.”

Their recruitment call was posted on Face Book: “When people take up sustained disruptive protests with a righteous demand, like “no Kavanaugh!”, suddenly that resistance becomes a major factor that those in power have to consider and contend with. Will these protests grow and spread … to take on the whole fascist regime and drive them from power…That is up to you.“
“Get involved with the movement, uniting people to “Refuse Fascism”. To #Stop Kavanaugh. In the Name of Humanity,
We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!”
Some quotes from the video below: “We will not accept a FASCIST Supreme Court. The whole regime MUST GO. The Democrats are not going to stop Trump, they’re gonna confirm Kavanaugh. They sold out the Dreamers. They said impeachment is off the table. We the people have to act. This nightmare must end.” And at 1:37… Let people know that there is a WAR.”
Observations from this reporter: The protestors are always the same. Mature to older. Not students. Relentless anarchists working the streets, recruiting. The message: The Trump/ Pence Regime must go (which used to be Bush /Cheney) If it’s Republican it must be Fascist … AND… a Regime.
As the Fascisti gathered in Duffy Square, the cops had to control the crowds …. just in case.
So, the NYPD cleared the red steps (where tourists enjoy sitting and taking pictures) A sea of people headed towards me, and very quickly, the steps were bare.
Thanks to the anarchists, the red stairs were now empty of tourists.
Ignorant of the brown shirts who had them evicted, many of the tourists nod their heads in sympathy.
Sad to see naive passersby; disgusting, the dead-headed anarchy and FASCISM being sold.

Treating “The People” like children, the Refuse Fascism organizers placed a long paper banner on the ground, to be signed by sympathetic fascists as they recruit. recruit. recruit.
“This fall RefuseFascism.org needs to grow in size and organization; strengthening people’s understanding and conviction.”
“Faced with the profound danger of this regime (will the ) people join in mass struggle in the STREETS … the future we get is up to us and what we do now … (but)…. millions of people will never know they are the ones that can refuse fascism and drive out this regime unless supporters like YOU bring it to them. This is war. YOU ARE NEEDED!”
Report from Capitol Hill as the confirmation hearing began with obnoxious protestors ** [Buzz Feed News]**
Update Sept 14, 2018: And now an act of desperation comes slamming out of the pits of leftist hell: a teen moment; an accusation that can NOT be proven. They are so disgusting.[NY Post]
(Sept 16) the accuser identifies herself for her “15 minutes of fame” [heavy.com]
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” claims a California professor named Christine Blasey Ford. However, Ford has no recollection of how she got to the house in question or the exact time of the alleged incident. She also cannot recall how she allegedly met Brett Kavanaugh. Ford is represented by Debra Katz, a liberal Democrat activist lawyer who has publicly touted that she is part of “the Resistance” to President Trump and his agenda.” [Breitbart]
As the Refuse Fascism hysteria builds. Now is NOT THE TIME TO BE SILENT. Voting has never been more important.

NARAL’S “DAY OF JUSTICE” NYC. “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” by the National Abortion Rights Action League.
KAVANAUGH. TRUMP. Knee-jerk fighting words for the Feminazi Left.
Can’t have a gathering of NARAL Feminazis without obscenities, that’s how you know they are forward-thinking; independent of society’s cultural bondage. So, the profanities flowed. (this feline picture was tame compared to what I heard from the stage)
Didn’t bother recording the verbal harangues. Heard them once. Heard them all as they ranted on and on about imagined ‘threats’.
Abortion on demand. Claims of ‘coat-hanger’ deaths. (screen shots below from Barely Informed With Elad)
But the lives of INCONVENIENT children. Murdered. While feminists falsely claim a constitutional right to murder-on-demand … instead of humane birth control. Silence.
From the crowd of mostly white faces the art of debate was lost. The focus was on Trump and Kavanaugh.
Provocateurs regressed to adolescent name-calling and “body blocking” the opposition with cries of Russia. Russia. Russia. [see Putin’s THUMB is on the scale]
When asked to explain and/or defend their ad hominem attacks (like El stupido) Stupidity reigned … on their side.
The lack of cogent argument revealed the extent of brain damage pervading this crowd of insurgents.
The few who want dialogue are rare – not more than 3 or 4. Still, after measured debate, they walk away, head shaking, dumb-struck that we cannot see the error of our ways.
Experienced leaders masquerade as part of the crowd, pretending to be Christians … religion is an important question/challenge. You must be exposed as a narrow-minded Christian. Others pretend to be Republicans who voted – “sadly” – for Trump and his HATE machine.
One 30-something fellow was a “peace conflict mediator”. “Instead of COMPLAINING“, he asked, “What are WE doing to make a difference.”
An older woman pondered the statement that our own should come before open borders and the financial hardship they cause with over crowded schools, hospitals and social services.
Refusing fellowship in her One World, GLOBAL community, she struggled to respond …. and walked away.
Others in the crowd of Fascists included Sandi Bachom (a You Tube ‘intrepid” video-grapher). As she filmed the opposition, profanity spewed from her mouth. Anger management anyone?
There was a woman, HOPPING mad at two women holding a “Trump 2020” banner. She chanted , “Trump for Prison,2019 the worst President we’ve ever seen“. Her apoplexy continued with a sneering : Oh, yeah – Trump’s ” Helped the stock market.” Then, she slinked away with “Real Jews don’t support Nazis.”
Fascists. Nazis – their two favorite words. Unable, unwilling to defend or explain how that represents the Trump supporters. But, ad hominem attacks need no defense. When challenged, walk away with “I won’t let you trick me!”

Video- Part 1 – A look at the crowd that gathered in HATRED for all things Trump.
Part 2 – Scott Stringer. NYC’s Comptroller, who some day wishes to be mayor, ranted from the stage against all things Trumpian; pleasing this fascist crowd of potential voters. He preached to the choir.
Part 3- Patriot Jim dialogued with a few – not many – of the insurgents. While some couldn’t manage a coherent exchange, You Tube reporter Barely Informed With Eladwas on-the-spot; deftly engaging the NARAL crowd with facts they did not wish to hear.
Protest over, all left with ears FULL of “Support NARAL”. “Stop Kavanaugh”. “Impeach Trump”. VOTE! FEMINAZIS UNITE! UNITE FOR JUSTICE!
Are you willing to challenge the Left when they gather. (Which is OFTEN) Are we/you/ all of us to be silent. To “Make nice”. Or shall we finally and FIRMLY speak out.
Now is the time to decide. As elections draw near, to stop the RED (Commie) Tide – VOTE!!

Thursday August 2, 2018 (7:00 PM – 9:00 PM) Barnard College, New York City, the latest bastion of higher-ed to become a shameful conduit for anti-Israel animus.
They offered “an intimate discussion between two groups on the front-lines — fighting incarceration and supporting prisoners — one in Palestine, the other in the U.S. — and how we can understand these shared systems of domination and resist them.” [Algemeiner]
Barnard chose to “Stand with ADDAMEER”, a “Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association” working for “political prisoners” held in Israeli and Palestinian prisons. “Addameer vs Israel“.
How much more “effed up” can our centers of education become?
The New JDL- NY was there, outside Barnard, in protest and to Stand With Israel.
“…. after a “difficult past semester” — during which Barnard students voted to endorse a divestment campaign against Israel in a referendum — “it is dismaying to see the College further used to discomfort members of its community.” [Algemeiner]
Barnard College, shame on you.
Addameer has called attempts to link it to the PFLP part of a “smear” campaign. According to Jewish Virtual Library, the PFLP has been involved in various suicide bombings, airplane hijackings and an assassination.” [Jewish Journal]
For more of the New JDL protest, see Flickr slide show
“Addameer, according to NGO Monitor, has several members who are either currently in Addameer, or were formerly in the organization, that have extensive ties with the PFLP.
For instance, Addameer’s chairperson, Abdul-latif Ghaith, is currently in the midst of an Israeli travel ban due to his PFLP membership. Addameer vice-chairperson Khalida Jarrar was convicted of belonging to the PFLP and calling for violence against Israeli soldiers, serving prison time as a result.
Yacoub Odeh,an Addameer board member, was sentenced to life in prison for his PFLP membership and was only released as part of a prisoner exchange.
Lana Ramadan,Addameer’s International Advocacy Officer, was born in Dheisheh refugee camp, near Bethlehem in the West Bank. She’s worked with Badil Refugee Resource Centre and been active in community activities, such as Dabke. She studied Human Rights and International Law in the joint Al Quds University and Bard College program and has a Master in Human Rights from London School of Economics.
David Joseph Deutch, or DJ, Addameer’s Advocacy Coordinator, is a native of Australia who has worked with indigenous Australian youth, asylum seeker children, Amnesty International Australia and the UN in New York and Palestine. He is now Addameer’s Advocacy Coordinator. He studied Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Sydney and has a Master in Public Administration at Columbia University in New York.
Laura Whitehorn served 14+ years(of a 20 year sentence) in US federal prison as an “anti-imperialist political prisoner“. She was convicted for the “Resistance Conspiracy” case, which involved attacks on US and Israeli military installations and companies. [FYI- she BOMBED the headquarters of the Israeli Aircraft Industry right here in NYC] In 2016, she was part of a delegation with other former “political prisoners”, labor organizers, and academics to Palestine.
Laura Whitehorn is a proud anti-Zionist Jew. She was charged with “conspiracy to influence, change, and protest policies and practices of the United States government by violent and illegal means“.
In the 60s, Whitehorn was active in the “civil rights” movement, supported the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Movement, the New Afrikan Independence Movement and Puerto Rican Independence … Whitehorn also lists fighting the KKK and organized white supremacy.
She advocates the creation of ANOTHER Islamic State – in the Middle East, those “BASTIONS of Equality!”
The Barnard fools and tools welcomed these terrorist organizations, presenting them as voices of reason and proclaiming “Incarceration to be a system of domination”.
The new Barnard school motto, perhaps: “Breaking Bars. RESIST! Resist! Resist!”
Day 2 of the “Immigrant Arts& Women’s Empowerment Summit 2018″ at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan. August 7, 2018. 10:30 am.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezwas on a panel named: “The Future is Female: Mobilizing and Organizing Women ThroughThe Arts”.
We are ALL Immigrants was the meme of the day, presented by the Immigrant Arts Coalition. (click picture to enlarge)
Entertainment unions were on hand as well: Local 802 (Musicians Union) and SAG/AFTRA as well as the Writers Guild. (click picture on right to enlarge/ link to sag -aftra readable version on left)
Underwood mentioned, DACA Dreamers, Right to Choose, teen immigrants. Then she read lyrics from Rodger & Hammerstein’s “Carefully Taught”. Quoted the Statue of Liberty poem . Shared that, as Attorney General, she is proud of battles fought to help our communities. Stressed that conversations with artists here and abroad, important contributions.
Before the panel began, the chairs in the room went through an embarrassing removal of unused seats. (Obviously attendance was not what they expected).
The loud clanking of the chair removal, the rows of chairs and the panel table rearranged, went on for awhile. Finally, rows of chairs were added down front, closer to the panel. This was the last shuffle before the panel commenced.
The introduction to the panel said this was a panel of six sisters, using arts to mobilize women. (She affectionately shared Puerto Rican sisterhood with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez).
Some quotes from Ruth Messinger, who seemed to be the grand dame of the panel: “Honor those who were originally on this planet. We need to learn to listen. Telling stories. Use the arts to tell their story. Social Change repeats over and over. We’re all by-standers. Can’t afford to be by-standers. Where do you stand? Put yourself forward. Some will disagree with you, but only way change is made. Every person in country is an immigrant. They don’t all know it. Stories lost (through the generations/assimilation) We’re from “here” is a story lost. What will they (can) they teach? 2020 is soon here. VOTE. You must!”
The New JDL NYwas outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage while this reporter was inside to hear the panel that included the Dem-Socialist flavor of the month, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This was the best picture I could capture of the JDL.
The panel. The summit. Immigrants In America. The Future. Women. The Arts.
Part 1 video. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was on a panel named: “The Future is Female: Mobilizing and Organizing Women ThroughThe Arts”.
Transcribed excerpts from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “It’s because there’s so much fear over being different in our politics […] and, I think, that what we hadn’t shown is that you can really lean into who you are and not be afraid of being ostracized. Because, I think, people are just kind of craving any sort of unique voice right now. […] yeah, I feel like, really, often times, especially in political language, there’s always this, this opposite (uh) impulse. Like a consultant will come in and say, “Oh,we have to compensate for everything that you are.” You know (laughter) so if your like a first generation immigrant and they’ll like over-compensate with (like) the super-Americana (like) patriotic, stars and stripes kind a thing. And (uh) and it’s because — and they’re implicitly telling you what they think you’re not, because of who you are. Instead of saying you could be all of those things. You know, you can be a first generation patriot, if, you know, if that’s who you are. Because you can be these things. And we are (in) contradictions. But yeah, sometimes if, if you’re like (um) you know, if you’re a woman they’ll try to kind of put you in like those — big shoulder pads (laughter) and, you know, make you a little more masculine. And it’s like, you don’t have to compensate for who you are. You can just, if anything, you should lead-in more. And, I think, these opportunities, whether they’re intentional or not, once you become a part (like) IN the public eye, it’s an opportunity to kind of lead-in and embrace and grow into more of who you are than trying to apologize or shrink-down or moderate who you are. […] And, that’s what they have done, and said, “Oh, we are morally superior. We are the party of “Family Values”. So, we’re so going to separate children from their parents at the border.”
Aizzah Fatima: “All because they’re brown children. If they were white children they would never do that.” (more chatter – unclear – about brown people)
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Yeah, and so, I think that, um, they have gone so obviously off-track … like … I struggle to think, at this point, of a thing that they are doing right, to be honest (um) that, I think, it’s easier if we can just claim it. But I just think that (um) and I also, I just rejected left/right frame-work cause I just don’t think that’s how people really operate (um) And we just quash things down into this left/right lens cause it’s easier for us. But that’s not how people really work. But, anyway, like, I would say that, on the “left”, there’s been this reluctance to say, “Oh, don’t moralize the issues.” And I push-back on that because, like, we are in a time of right and wrong. We are making, you know, in the ’90’s when we were…. people were talking about tax-breaks and trade-deals where, I would still argue still have some moral basis. But when they try to, kind of (um), actually make it a little bit more abstract, (unclear) you can’t moralize these issues. But the issues today are moral. I think, I think every single (gasp), you know, my right to health care is a moral issue. The idea that we have the largest population of homeless people since the great depression in New York City is, is a moral issue. The fact that there are three empty luxury apartments for every one person experiencing homelessness is a moral issue. The fact that kids are going into (uh) trailers in the back of their schools to get an education because we won’t build schools, is a moral issue. All these things are moral. And (um) I’m not, you know – And that’s the frame by which I access my politics, you know. I don’t, I don’t look at politics as (unclear). My tax cut is going to get me more. I will get, my politics, I look at politics as what is the right thing to do. And how do we get closer to that. So, I think it’s okay to, to embrace — how you access your politics. And you should embrace (unclear) … And for me, I ask,”Is there a moral framework.” (applause)
Part 2 video. Panelist, progressive Ruth Messinger, chimed in on the issue of MORALITY as she gave support to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
Transcribed excerpts video 2begins withRuth Messingerresponding to Ocasio-Cortez, “Equity and inequity are fierce moral issues. (um) And we have (unclear) generalization that has ceded this language to people who claim themselves, proudly, to be “pure of faith”, “people of morality”, and to connect their faith with their morality. But they are, and I think this is important for the fight we have in front of us, they are actually, in significant numbers (unclear), they are uncomfortable. They’ve been talking about morality for a long time and now they’re supporting a person and a party and candidates in elections who are saying some of the most unbelievably immoral, inequitable and unjust things about brown children; about segregated school systems; about failures of health care. And so this is actually the moment for progressives to reclaim the language and say, “It doesn’t matter, ” as Alexandra just said, “if your morals come from a faith-base or not.” Frankly, if you want to share that faith-base, or not, there are moral issues (um) that, in fact, influence how every single one of us was raised, and taught, whatever language our families use (um). And those moral issues about how we treat people, and how we treat the least well-off people, are the critical issues for this society and this world today; that to be able to claim that you’re speaking the, the language of moral morality with moral authority, with moral courage, is exactly what we need today in our political and our faith-based leaders.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Yeah. And I do, I do feel it’s really important to under-score that, that we need to take this moment, and we have to, we really do need to claim the moral high-ground, because we have it. And if we don’t claim it, then we’re going to be a part of this lie. If we don’t reclaim this moment right now, in particular, in a moral frame, then our moral — then no one’s claiming the moral frame. Then no one is advocating for what is right in this country. And that is how we engage in a collective slide and, honestly, don’t let them forget it. Don’t let these people forget what they stood by and supported in this moment. They can never claim this moral frame-work ever again; EVER again. Because they stood by as children were ripped from their parents. They stood by as the richest in this country began to enrich themselves at the cost of children’s healthcare and education and housing. They stood by as the childrens’ health insurance program was (claimed) hostage. They stood by. Though all these things. And we cannot …we have to claim it. We have to tell them that this is what they are doing right now so that they know that they can’t forget it. So no one can say that no one told me. We have to be the ones that have that, that have that voice of moral clarity. Because, if we let it slide, (unclear) this country slides.” (applause)

On July 31, 2018, from 4:30 to 7:30 pm, “Science for the People”, “Movimiento Cosecha”,”Rise & Resist”, “Desis Rising Up & Moving” and “ISO-NYC” targeted Microsoft’s NYC offices, the Salesforce tower and the Amazon Book Store on 34th Street with pickets and a march. Their complaint: “All of these companies have substantial contracts with ICE and the Border Patrol that enables these agencies to tear migrant families apart.”
“Liberals don’t care about kids. They want to wreck our country. More than 700,000 illegals who were caught sneaking into our country — not the 40 million we didn’t catch — are now living here free. Really free: free health care, free housing, free food. Last year, with a force less than half the size of the New York City Police Department, ICE removed more than 100,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions.” [Ann Coulter]

Join Patriots and say LOUD and clear, “Support ICE! USA all the way! Build the wall nice and tall! We will shadow the anti-American traitors.”
“Time to get off the keyboards and take out your American or Blue Lives Matter flags. No flags? Get poster-board and construct a sign supporting ICE, the US, law enforcement, etc.Anti American traitors will take to the streets again to call for the di smantling of ICE. They will be spreading anti American rhetoric that children who came to the US illegally are being housed in cages and tortured. They will promote open borders.The dismantling of ICE and open borders would be the begining of the end of the United States.We know better. We support law enforcement…our Constitution … our law.” [NY American Defenders]

The Marxists “marched against ICE as part of Movimiento Cosecha’s National Day of Action to #AbolishICE, and in solidarity with the tech workers calling on these companies to cancel their contracts with ICE #NoTechforICE. and celebrating their victory in the case of Pablo Villavicencio, freed from ICE custody after a hard-fought activist campaign. Pablo was detained June 1st at Fort Hamilton Military Base in Brooklyn, NY while delivering pizza.”
“… most Americans believe that a fair and even generous immigration policy can only work if it is implemented under the rule of law with safeguards to protect the personal and economic security of Americans citizens and others residing legally in this country. Illegal immigration advocates … believe that immigration is an inherent universal human right rather than a privilege […] These Leftists […] want to open our borders to all who wish to reside here. If these fanatics ever get their way, the sovereign constitutional republic of the United States of America […] will come to an end. [(Joseph Klein)
Socialists, Demo-Socialists, Marxists and Liberal Progs marching against the American Constitution, demanding “No Borders. No Nations”, comically INSANE.#WeWontBeComplicit
To understand these protestors, I found reporter Caleb Maupin’s recent video on Socialism and how ignorant Americans are of Socialism’s success. Caleb […] is an”outspoken advocate of international friendship and cooperation, as well as 21st Century Socialism”
Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, appears frequently on RT and PressTV. He was a member of Workers World Party and Fight Imperialism – Stand Together (FIST) (WWP’s youth wing) though he has recently distanced himself from that organization. He worked as a youth organizer for the International Action Center and was involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement from its planning stages.
A flash back on “Caleb 2012”: a long-haired, NoKo sycophant ranting on the streets of NY, defending North Korea from defamation.
They were protesting the remake of “Red Dawn”and the replacing of the Soviet troops of 1984, first with the Chinese … who quickly morphed in to Communist North Korea: the new enemy.
“The studio needed new villains, since the U.S.S.R. had collapsed in 1991. The producers substituted Chinese aggressors for the Soviets and filmed the movie in Michigan in 2009,” … Immediately after, every distributor…. with any business sense got cold feet. … the filmmakers … digitally erased Chinese flags and military symbols from ‘Red Dawn,’ substituting dialogue and altering the film.” Bye-bye Chinese, hello Photoshop, North Koreans.” [Forbes]
Caleb 2012 – defending North Korea ‘s Communism/Socialism to the Times Square passersby (and riffing on this reporter at the top) is a far cry ( hair-wise) from Caleb Maupin 2018. Moving UP in the world, from street agitator to suited reporter at Press (Iran ) TV and now RT- Russian TV, but the message remains the same. (his the frothing indictment of anything non-Communist begins at the top to 00:47)
After the Marxists marched to Amazon Book Store, Gizmodo reported on the arrests.
“…around 7pm, six protesters held a small sit-in, blocking the entrance to Amazon Books. Ten minutes later officers blocked foot traffic around the store, and one approached the group with a backpack containing a speaker which played a prerecorded message warning them to disperse or be arrested for disorderly conduct. One by one they were zip-tied and led into a Strategic Response van.”
“We will target companies that do business with ICE,” said Maria Fernanda Cabello, an undocumented organizer with Cosecha […. ] If Amazon continues doing business with ICE then we won’t let them do business at all.” [Gizmodo]

July 26, 2018, “Deportee Suitcase Solidarity March”- NYC
The Soc/Commie/Prog/Fascisti, their battle cry: NO BORDERS, NO NATIONS.
They praise themselves as compassionate citizens-of -the-world, like Venezuela, Cuba. Tyranny ignored by eager young millennials. Privileged illiterati, accepting Communism.
They are GOOD. We are BAD.
Patriots on the edge of Foley Square held signs and banners that upset the delicate Commie rebels. (“Thank G-d for President Trump” and “Thank you ICE“). Brown shirts blocked the patriot’s “horrid” signs by any means necessary: Silence the”ALT-RIGHT”. Racist scum!
Flickr slide show of patriots harassed by Leftist goons.
The NYPD did not separate the Commies from the Patriots, which led eventually to an assault on a female patriot who held the “Trump in 2020” banner; grabbed from behind by an Antifa goon attempting to rip the banner from her hands. With police on all sides, she was flipped backwards off the bench and dragged across the grass. At least the police chased this Antifa scum down and arrested him.
A Republican (more likely a plant) His complaint, “Why did we tell HIM to thank GOD for Trump?” He was offended by this personal message (the sign), that it was an order.
Near the end of the Commie protest barricades were placed around the patriots. But, the Commies stayed as the blocking game continued.
Meanwhile, this reporter was hounded, blocked and surrounded by the Antifa. The NYPD seemed disinterested that I was encircled by their ham-fisted banner, so I grabbed Antifa’s banner and continued taking pictures.
Many of the brown shirts were Jews from Workman’s Circle as well as the usal 20-somethings; WHITE Commies AND the Antifa, all part of the full bore Fascist assault.
When asked, “Why. Why are you blocking me?” The B.S. response, “They were protecting he rally from ME, from possible harm by ME.”
As the game of obsession grew, I stood next to a very tall NYPD officer. The proud Commies totally invading my personal space as a blond-haired Neanderthal pressed against me, blocking my camera; unchallenged by the officer at my side.
The officer was not able to control the rabble, so I gave back what I was getting; push back, my hand-in-face (back at cha).
No NYPD officer stepped in ’til I demanded help from another officer at the opposite end of the public walk-way. He helped, briefly. Breaking up the 4 to 5 20-something WHITE females in security vests, telling them to stop blocking a public walkway. However, this too was futile. They do not fear the police. They surrounded him and talked his ear off.
I continued to walk the public walk way, taking pictures of illegals like Ravi Ragbir . He became quite annoyed, demanding I take NO pictures of him. (In a public space, at a protest rally) The officer supported my right to take Ravi’s picture. (one moment of parity.)
The times they are regressing. The Soc/Commie/Prog/Fascisti are more rude, more aggressive. The police seemed intimidated because these hard core Leftists will not hesitate to LIE; their careers ruined.
Their goal : to remake our Republic into a Communist hell-hole; changing our laws; adding million of illegals to VOTE in our elections.
If you only attended the earlier portion of this protest, benign in comparison, you may have missed the fact that THIS IS WAR.

MUSIC was a big part of the Commie outreach early on. Kept the PEOPLE passive.
The opening speaker shared the Soc/Commie/Prog/Fascist party-line with passers-by. But they know not what they hear, #WhatWouldYouPack
The display of suitcases – the theme of the day: “ILLEGAL Deportee Suitcase Solidarity MARCH. No borders no Nations.”In defense of the illegal “victims”: “What would you pack?”
“We ask that you bring ONE OBJECT YOU WOULD PACK in your love’s suitcase as we shed a light onto the deportation machine that continues to cause violence and suffering on our communities.” But, the display was a bust. Found only ONE suitcase
“Each day, people in our communities must pack such a suitcase and submit it to ICE for inspection. When they drop off these suitcases with ICE, they cannot see their loved one to say goodbye.”
video – “3 Pants” suitcase video from their web site
“The suitcase is everything your loved one will leave with; the suitcase contains the belongings they will start over with, “What would you pack?”
“Some of our friends and neighbors are deported to countries they left as children, where they know no one and may not speak the language. It may be a place with little opportunity, where their sexuality is criminalized, where there is war or drought. They often face grave danger.”
They have a message: Illegals good, ICE bad.
