March 31, 2023. It was a lovely presentation. Books were read. The children listened and there were even jugglers practicing while the children waited for the story hour to begin.
The Guardians of Divinity were in the crowd, of adults and children, enjoying and supporting this lovely story time
.Shamefully, the liberals in the NY Public Library System were afraid to give equal time to. the Brave Story Hour.
Video of excerpted reading OUTSIDE the Main Library on Fifth Avenue
Maybe because the leftards were out celebrating anything anti-Trump, there was no rude opposition to the As You Grow Story Time.
It was small gathering, but very sweet. And from what I saw, the books are really nice, published by Brave Books.
Shame,Shame on the lefties in the NY Public Library System for censoring the Brave Story Hour.

March 4, 2023. Andrew Heiskell Library For the Blind-NYC
Another inappropriate Drag Queen Story Hour at 11 AM was protested by the Guardians of Divinity who continue to oppose this misuse of public funds.
Councilman Erik Bottcher and State Sen, Brad Holyman (both gay activists) were on-site, defending these Story Hours as harmless, while accusing the protesters of being “Faces of HATE”.
The Antifa aggressors along with the Rise and Resist leftists assembled claim to protecting the children from the” Save The Children” protestors. But, as usual, they are the aggressors, physically assaulting the Guardians.
The Guardians continue to ask, “WHY is a grown man dressed as a woman, reading LGBTQ books c to CHILDREN?”
The high dudgeon exhibited by the leftists begs the question, “Would Christians be allowed to read their books with the same support from the city …. like the Drag Queens?”
FLICKR Slide Shows – Part 1 . Guardians of Divinity gathered to Save The Children and to Let Kids Be Kids. The Councilman slandered them as Faces Of Hate: even though their signs are not filled with hate, but concern for the children.
Part 2 Around 10:30 am. Rise and resist/ antifa thugs blocked the sidewalks and assaulted a Guardian who had arrived early to protest. The cops were in a van so they saw the assault and stopped the Antifas as soon as it started. ( no arrests) and of course the lefties still hung around like they owned the street.
Part 3 The Rise and Resist Lefties and their Antifa aggressors gathered mostly in front of the library, but always spill across the street; keeping the NYPD busy attempting to keep them under control.Joining them was the bared chested Crackhead Barney(dressed in religious garb as she had come from the early morning PRO Abortion rally) And Councilman Bottcher and State Sen Holyman, continued the lie that the protestors were “Faces of HATE”.
Part 4 So many police on the street and NYPD on scooters. The only issues requiring the police were recreated by the Antifas, and were handled quickly by the police. But, Councilman Bottcher must have needed the photo-op, cause the amount of police made no sense. Mayor Adams could use the NYPD presence better to curb the growing street crime around the city. Also, working the police as usual, was reporter Talia, who pressures the police with her demands and works to have any press she doesn’t approve of, shut down. Always busy walking back and forth, like a pit boss. AND, of course, Councilman Bottcher can be observed watching and talking to his friendly media about his “Faces of Hate”
.Four short Videos- Part 1 – Drag Queen Story Hour returned to the Andrew Heiskell Library for the Blind. In this clip,the Rise and Resit/ Antifa’s blocked the sidewalks and assaulted a Guardian who had arrived early. I saw the assault but camera wasn’t on. The police were sitting in a van at the corner, so as soon as the antifas struck, the cops put an end to the confrontation (though the lefties continued to block the sidewalk)
Part 2 The Guardians gathered to Save The Children and to Let Kids Be Kids, escorted by the NYPD … to keep the Antifas from assaulting them. Unfortunately, the Councilman continues to slander them as Faces Of Hate. But, their signs are not filled with hate. It is concern for the children.
Part 3 – The Guardians of Divinity gathered across from the Andrew Heiskell Library .Their signs were not filled with hate. TTheir signs: “Save The Children” and “Let Kids Be Kids”. and ”Stop Confusing the Kids” The Councilman continues to mislabel them as Faces Of Hate when their signs are not filled with hate. It is concern for the children.
.Part 4 – Stop Drag Queen Story Hour because it is inappropriate for children. That was why they chanted ” Shut It Down” . Though accused of being “Faces of Hate” by the local Councilman, their signs show otherwise. They say it is about concern for the children.
And coming up next is a NYC supported 4 Part MARATHON of Drag Queens reading to children . On Sunday, March 19th- From 11 am to 3 pm. Supported not only by NY’s local politicians but even (shamefully) Letitia James, NY Attorney General (taking a break from harassing President Trump)
Eve though Drag queen story hours for kids have been held at public libraries across the city since 2017, the events have recently drawn backlash and violent protests. The outrage in this NY Post article is encouraging:
New York Attorney General Letitia James is set to host a “Drag Story Hour” for children in Manhattan this weekend — and the event is sparking outrage over the use of taxpayer money for the already controversial event.
James and a string of fellow elected Democratic city and state leaders plan to attend Sunday’s event in the West Village where “families with children” are invited to watch drag performers read books over a four-hour stretch.
The AG’s March 19 event is co-sponsored by Drag Story Hour NYC — a nonprofit that has been showered in taxpayers funds, which has enabled them to send drag performers into public schools and libraries to interact with children as young as 3.
“My office is proud to host a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon,” James wrote on Instagram as she promoted the event. “We’re inviting families to join us at the @lgbtcenternyc with @dragstoryhour, drag storytellers, community leaders, and elected officials.”
News of the event sparked immediate backlash on Twitter, with some claiming New Yorkers’ tax dollars were “hard at work grooming kids.”
Why?? Why???? What is the purpose of government funded drag queens for children? To teach tolerance? BS,” Matt Antar, the New York Young Republican Club’s finance chairman, tweeted.
“Drag is a profession, not a “type of person.” A profession where adult men do exaggerated female impersonations often scantily clad with sexual themes… This is not the way.”
Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair also chimed in, tweeting: “The “family-friendly” event will take place at the ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.’ Your tax dollars are hard at work grooming kids!”
Steve Cortes, a former spokesman for President Trump’s campaign, added: “This kind of explicit targeting of children is just evil.”
“Grownups want to dress in drag? More power to them. But what is this fascination with wanting people to bring their kids to your drag show?” TV personality Judge Alex Ferrer tweeted.
The Plandemic is OVER.
But, no one seems to have told SAG/AFTRA.
SO, protesting membership demanded UNION Leadership
be held accountable for discrimination against membership!
NOW.
5: 30 pm. Feb 26. Outside the SVA Theatre in NYC an eager audience was queuing to FIRST be checked for vax cards and then agree to arbitrary masking, otherwise: NO ENTRY for the Awards Screening.
Soon the protestors gathered, SAG members and friends, with cries of Shame on Sag filling the air. Actors forced to pay dues to a union that denies them employment gathered peacefully. Even so, someone called out a ridiculous amount of police – who left soon after – since this was definitely a peaceful protest.
The hypocrites running SAG cover for an elite core of union members who avoid the clot-shot, yet still work! Membership for the average union member includes pay your dues, BUT they must COMPLY to vax or NOT work. (some are more equal than others)
SAG has failed as a union. At the expense of the actors who must PAY their DUES but can NOT work because of arbitrary, debunked rules.
SAG/AFTRA continues to segregate membership. To gain entry for the screening, everyone had to go the the back of a line, wait to show their vax cards and then proceed to the the SAG Rep up front who was handing out MASKS.
Show your vax card and mask up or go home
But, the actual Awards show was in LA. In a packed ballroom of NO MASKING celebs. One can imagine as well the clot shot secretly injected into a slew of oranges … rather than the arms of these ELITE SAG members. (a well kept secret?)
The protestors were loud. Passionate. Our Bodies. Our Choice should NOT be used to segregate us. We pay our dues. LET US WORK !
Flickr – Part 1 – END this Plandemic Discrimination NOW. There was an unnecessary amount of police who came to check out the protest… and left … because this was a peaceful protest. (although Theatre Security complained about the chalk on the sidewalk ’cause they would have to hose it down.)
Flickr- Part 2. The protestors demanded an end to forced masking while the celeb-elites in L.A. gathered mask-free! Signs and chants filled the air as Do not Comply, End Segregation, End Discrimination challenged the eager lemmings entering the theatre under these arbitrary rules.
Part 1 Video [3:07] “Shame on You” followed by impassioned speakers who represent ACTORS who want to work! Another said re the mandated vax: “We should have a vote, not a mandate.” And another speaker challenged the union with “You’ve sold your soul to the Devil.” Followed by more chants: “END discrimination in the union”
Part 2 Video [1:48] Police showed up but didn’t stay long. The protestors were loud but peaceful. But, that didn’t keep the SVA Theatre Security from being upset by the chalk messages that stated clearly WHY they were protesting. All this while the audience was sent to the back of a line to get vax approved and masked before they could enter.
Part 3 Video [1:40] Chants of segregation and a great sign: S.egregation A.buse G.enocide as well as more en point chalk messages. “Our Dues pay YOUR salary”. The protestors were not shy. They spoke directly to the lemmings attending the Awards Screening. And some of the audience were equally direct (one older fellow angrily entered the theatre with a two-handed flip-off to the protestors)
Part 4 Video [00:47] Everyone who attended the screening had to go to the back of a line, to show their vax cards, and then proceed to the SAG/AFTRA Rep handing out the masks. Meanwhile, the celebs in L.A. were MASK FREE.
Part 5 Video [1:45] Masks. So many masks. So many sheeple happily masking up to attend the awards screening. While the celebs in L.A. are mask-free.
“Shame on You, SAG”.
Next day, SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher made a statement following the demonstrations on both coasts. She called for an end to the mandates, so the actors can work. “When equal citizens stop being equal, when cards must be presented to identify whether you are included or excluded, we stand at the tipping point of an America I no longer recognize.”
She urged Hollywood to end its vaccine mandates in her opening remarks at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony on Sunday (Feb. 26), calling for everyone to use their financial influence to “make governors act” on the issue.
“As the nation declares an end to the COVID emergency this May, I hope we will see everyone return to work in equal opportunity!”
Drescher ended her remarks at the Screen Actors Guild Awards with a bold line from her character Bobbi Flekman in the 1984 movie, This is Spinal Tap: “Money talks and bullshit walks!”
That’s twice she has spoken out. But, so far, it’s just talk.

Feb 15, 2023. The Guardians of Divinity gathered peacefully protest another Drag Queen Story hour promoted as usually as SAFE for Children.
Today they were outside a NY Public Library on East 79th St. The upper east side of Manhattan aka Yorkville.
The NYPD predictably spends all their time dealing with the Antifa radicals who claim to be are there as ‘protection’ for the children.
Protecting the children from those “scary”Guardians of Divinity by the very scary Antifa radicals.
The rest of the Drag supporters are the colorful Rise and Resist Leftists … who have no respect for the First Amendment (or the police)either…
They all have one purpose: to shut down any opposition, and to do this they go where they want and do what they want.
Today, outside the library there were an unusual amount of strollers.Perhaps it’s the UES nannys looking to keep the kids busy (no matter what the event).
Flickr Slide Show- The hardcore lefties consistently wear masks- not as a leftover from the “plandemic “. Their directives claim that UMBRELLAS and MASKS are needed to PROTECT their identities from the evil police. And the dangerous Right Wing Racists.
One. Big. Obnoxious. GAME. Flickr Slide show – Of Both sides outside the Library
Videos Part 1- The door to the library didn’t open til 11 am, so the children . The strollers, the nannies. The antifa/rise resisters. All hovered outside. It was the few moments of filming for me before they decided to surround me ( yawn). Once the doors opened, the “you don’t belong here” game began
Part 2. The police were in a much better mood on the UES than the officers in Queens and the 20th street. It was encouraging the calm demeanor they maintained while controlling the Antifa thugs- they still surrounded me- blocking my camera as best they could,with their RAINBOW umbrellas, but today there were limits to how far they could push me. Thank you, Yorkville NYPD.
Part 3 – Activist Jamie Bauer insisted she could NOT understand WHY this group has an issue with the Story Hours. She was seeking a dialogue so she could understand …. but she couldn’t get an answer. (poor dear)
Part 4 – The Guardians of Divinity, when they first gathered were in front of library … as were the Rise Resisters … but the police were not comfortable with this arrangement. All the barricades were late arriving. So, the antifa thugs were roaming and shoving and physically threatening the Guardians. Annoyed, understandably, the Guardians were placed in a barricaded area, away from the library entrance.
The resistance by concerned citizens like the Guardians of Divinity to grooming children through inappropriate books, classroom indoctrination and the proliferation of adult Drag Queen Story Hours performing to young children continues and is growing. Parents are no longer silent. The resistance will never be silent.
Stop Grooming the Kids. Let Kids be Kids. Stop Killing Their Innocence. They are definitely making an impression.
Even though NYC is run by progs and the soc/commie machine they are NOT comfortable …. they HATE that the opposition continues.
Never Give In!

On Dec 29, the Leftist “Defenders of Drag Queens” behaved badly, ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians of Divinity while assaulting their cameras with horns and very shrill voices . It was business as usual.
The Guardians of Divinity, protested another Drag Queen Story Hour in Jackson Heights, Queens, where they were challenged by an aggressive band of leftists and antifa. ( organized by UARFnyc : United Against Racism and Fascism)
The Leftist scum crowded the street and sidewalks, emboldened by the fact that Jackson Heights is known as a gay enclave, they did as they pleased.
“In the 1920s, LGBT actors working in the 42nd Street theater scene decided to make their homes in Jackson Heights due to the lack of affordability of Manhattan neighborhoods and the easy accessibility of the 7 train. That was the beginning of what is now the second largest gay community in New York City.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Heights,_Queens]
Th Leftists, “DEFENDERS of Drag Queens”, created confrontations by ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians and assaulting their photographers by blocking them, blasting them with horns while their shrieks and drums filled the air.
A view of the protesting Leftists…written by the Left at UNICORN RIOT.
Their report is an over the top characterization of these “Defenders of Drag Queens.” (Community Defenders vs “Faces of Hate”)
But, ignores the role the instigators play (like the instigator in green) who fed her bogus version of an exchange with a conservative reporter to the very willing lefty Unicorn Press. Her modus operandi is to create chaos, claiming victim hood for the always eager reporters. (see video)
.Along with twitter reporter “Talia Jane”, wiki has predictably published the “Faces of Hate” labels and fictitious stories as fact. Never reports that the DQSHs encourage a new breed of children who look at sex and gender as FLUID. Also, this bloody street-theatre piece was brought to the children as they passed by. Anything is OKAY, even the occasionally naked Crackhead Barney, except protecting the children from this unnecessary indoctrination,.
Ignoring the rights of PARENTS. People. Families to object to Drag Queen indoctrination. Dismissing their opposition as : HATEFUL. Bagel Karen with her two young children passed by the obscene Crackhead Barney with her friend Daniel Christmann. She seemed to have no issue with this relentless sexualization of children. (see video)
..As for the rest of the videos from Dec 29 – these cultural Marxists in Queens are rude, crude and very gay.
Perhaps accounting for the clownish behavior of these ‘defenders’, who also did not hesitate to accost the peaceful protestors, forcing the NYPD to focus mostly on the chaotic ‘defenders of drags‘.
Videos: Part 1-[:06] relentless (obnoxious) screaming (and drums) from the leftist crowd as police attempt to clear stragglers out of the street and back behind the barricades. Councilwoman Cruz is seen watching the action from the lefty pen. NYPD hasn’t closed the street to traffic ( yet) so cars are being allowed to pass thru slowly, as a Drag Queen Story Hour protestors call out the lefties as ‘disgusting pedophiles’. Children are watching from the upper level of the library as both sides yell at each other. [end 1:51]
Part 2 –[0:11] Drag Story Hour protestors are holding signs and chanting “Hey Hey Ho Ho , pedophiles have got to go” Another guy yells at the lefties, You are disgusting pedophiles, every one of you.”. Are lefty marches thru the Guardians protest with a snarky sign, “”This is the ass-hole meet up” . The streets are packed with the lefties. Ignoring the police as always while more lefties (dressed as Satan) cross in to the Guardians space. Blasting horns. Blocking cameras. yelling in the faces. This goes on for quite awhile til the police finally send the lefties back across the street. A lefty pink unicorn character danced in front of the lefties – for their amusement. Til finally every one was cleared from the street so a city bus could pass through. [3:05]
Part 3 – [08] The Guardians shouted towards the library, “Let Kids the Kids” while the lefties continued to leave their ‘pens’ to cross over . A Guardian held a sign that said, “Stop Confusing kids” . The Leftists made much about the Proud Boy flags that were seen on the Guardians protest area. They were there as protection, but never did anything more than stand around with their flags and signs. The noise level from the leftists continued to be very loud (surely making it difficult to concentrate for anyone inside the library) [1:08]
Part 4 – [0:04] I passed by former New York educator,Joy Newball, talking to a man who seemed to be with the “protectors” about WHY the Drag Hours and the books they are reading should be of concern.The street was full of officers at this point, but that didn’t stop the instigator woman-in-green from leading an assault on a Guardian photographer. ( and the NYPD now seemed to be no where in sight) “Where is the NYPD!” The lefties LOVE to make noise with colorful hand fans -while shouting thru face masks, It difficult to understand them. Just NOISE. Assemblywoman Cruz seemed to be co-ordinating the police as a familiar lefty, who always wears a The Resistance Company mask, marched in the street yelling, “Fuck you, Nazis” [1:43]
Part 5 – [0:06] No traffic . Street was now closed, jammed with police, protestors and photographers. With the lefties going where ever they pleased, someone ripped the “Stop Drag Queen Story Hour” and ran into the street. (the Guardian retrieved the pieces, taped it together) And AGAIN the instigator-in-green (1:06 n video) arrived to create more confrontations. ( composite exposed how many confrontations she created)
Placing many police in the center of the street … attempting to keep sides separated, I guess [1:40]
Part 6 – [0:04]The Neo-Nazi who marched in to the protest was a known press-hungry interloper, escorted by the obnoxious fraud, Jovi Val. They had no part in the Guardians protest, not invited, not wanted and were finally removed by the NYPD. But, of course, the press couldn’t get enough of them. (it was difficult to get a good view due to the GLUT of photographers) The Lefty reporters love to ignor ethe FACT that all acts of aggression came from the LEFT: the uncontrollable, pepper-spraying – fire-starting – LEFT. [1:24]
.The media loved Councilman Erik Bottcher’s lies (the current press meme from Dec 19) slandering the Guardians Of Divinity as Faces of Hate.
The councilman (press shot from Dec 19th) and his sycophant press ignored the honest concerns of the Guardians : “Save the Children and Let Kids be Kids.”
Instead, anyone protesting these Story Hours are labeled racists, bigots and homophobes aka Faces of Hate.
After 5 years of unopposed Story Hours around the country, these cultural Marxists, these social constructionists, are shocked by any opposition to what they “claim to be innocent” story books. (The books read are rarely if ever revealed.) But, “Bella Noche” was happy to share that he read this book outside the library- on the street- to the children. (this day he was not in drag- see his web site post below of Bella’s drag persona)
.FLICKR Part 2 of 2 shows the Guardians of Divinity and the Proud Boys (who joined them as security) peacefully holding signs while the NYPD tried to control the socialist/communist/fascisti ‘defenders”as they made the streets unpassable and assaulted the Guardians of Divinity.
.Flickr Part 1 of 2 Opposing their peaceful protest was the hateful soc/commie/ fascisti. They required constant attention as NYPD attempted to control them. The antifa scum claim to be about ‘love’ while displaying the opposite by ripping up signs, fouling the streets with fake blood – blocking cars and busses as children watch from inside the library.
“Harris Kornstein—stage name Lil Miss Hot Mess—who hosted some of the original readings in public libraries and wrote the children’s book The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish. Kornstein sits on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour, the nonprofit organization that was founded by Michelle Tea in 2015 to promote “family-friendly” drag performances and has since expanded to 40 local chapters that have organized hundreds of performances across the United States.
(Kornstein also published the manifesto for the movement, “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” with coauthor Harper Keenan, a female-to-male transgender queer theorist at the University of British Columbia.[ … ] the authors propose a new teaching method, “drag pedagogy,” as a way of stimulating the “queer imagination,” teaching kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.” )
The books selected in many Drag Queen Story Hour performances—Cinderelliot, If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It, The Gender Wheel, Bye Bye, Binary, and They, She, He, Easy as ABC—promote this basic narrative. Though Drag Queen Story Hour events are often billed as “family-friendly,” …. DQSH is ‘family friendly’ in the sense of ‘family’ as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.” …. the goal is not to reinforce the biological family but to facilitate the child’s transition into the ideological family.( ….) …. the queer pedagogist Hannah Dyer has written, queer pedagogy and, by extension, drag pedagogy seek to expose the very concept of “childhood innocence” as an oppressive hetero-patriarchal illusion.
The purpose is to subvert the system of hetero-normativity, which includes childhood innocence, and re-engineer childhood sexuality from the ground up. “
To Recap: The Guardians of Divinity protested another Drag Queen Story Hour in Jackson Heights (Queens) where they were accosted by an aggressive band of leftists, marxists, progs and antifa. * (Leeroy Press was there as they pepper sprayed two Guardians of Divinity as they were leaving)
The leftists agitators ripped signs, pepper-sprayed non-violent Guardians and stood amongst them blocking their cameras while using horns and very shrill voices to add to the chaos.
.The NYPD would occasionally corral the leftists and then lose control of them, again. The many difficulties the police dealt with were caused by the “Defenders of Drag Queens “. Eventually the police had to close the street to traffic (and the city busses).
A simple construct of Good vs Evil.
The soc/commie/progs – the politicians – the cultural marxists – are unwilling to admit that libraries and schools are inappropriate Drag Queen venues (mostly paid for with public funds). They call the shots. So will these protests ever make a difference? Can this relentless grooming of children be stopped? Is it too late?
January 28, 2023. Washington Sq. – Noon. SAVING Israeli Democracy
“Demonstrating for the establishment of a real democracy in Israel! Help us support the demonstrating masses in Israel, who call for human, civil and political rights for all, and maintaining the democratic institutions because democracy does not stop only at elections.” [From Face Book ]
Hosted by @UnxeptableD, protesting the re-election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister. (he previously served more than 15 years as Israel’s P.M.)
Israeli democracy is in danger
The people of Israel ask Netanyahu to step down
(Because) they are the Voices of Hope
Short Video:
Flickr Slide show:
Their signs consistently complained that Netanyahu’s Far Right Government threatened peace and democracy in Israel.
Israel’s new government is the most right-wing government in the country’s history. In order to regain his position as prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was sworn into office Dec. 29, entered into a coalition with ultra-Orthodox religious parties and ultra-nationalist parties.
One issue at the forefront is the definition of who is Jewish.
“One possibility is that they will change educational programs in schools so that they will reflect very narrow definitions of Jewishness and Jewish identity.” Currently, anyone who is a child or a grandchild of a Jewish person – and their spouses – can immigrate to Israel, but some members of the new government want to change that.”
January 20, 2023 – Noon- a protest on the steps of the well known, Fifth Ave NYC Library.
Statement from Peace Action NYC :
“We will gather to celebrate the second anniversary of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and then march to the U.S. Mission (1st Ave & 45th St) to deliver the message that the U.S. must join the Treaty”
They also stated, “It’s been quite a year for Peace Action New York State! From advocating for peace in Yemen and Ukraine, to holding our leaders accountable for our nation’s excessive military spending, our growing network is organizing a strong and impactful peace movement across New York State!” https://www.icanw.org/
Flickr slide show: As members of the Peace Action NYC, The Raging Grannies sang a bunch of protest songs, holding banners and signs, as a couple of speakers followed on the steps of the Main NYC Library.
VIDEO: The speaker is Seth Sheldon, he serves as the United Nations Liaison for ICAN in New York, but continues to teach and practice law, and to perform in music and arts.
Excerpted speech re the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty,
“… what we are celebrating … if you don’t know about the U.N. Treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, you are to be forgiven. In all of the media coverage on international war and brewing dangers we have not seen much mentioned that the only realistic solution for nuclear weapons – nuclear weapons which pose the greatest existential threat to humanity – including for posing the most acute existential threat to our climate (and global food supply)The solution is the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. [… ] It is the first and only global treaty that categorically prohibits … everything to do with nuclear weapons; also providing a framework for their total elimination.
It is historic … in seeking to prevent future harm, but to to address past harm. […] If you don’t know about it, why do you think that is. […] True experts on international security, science and health care calculate that the the (… ) policies have slept walked humanity into the highest risk ever … higher that at the height of the cold war. And it will get worse quickly, without a major shift. That shift is this treaty, the treaty on the prohibition on nuclear weapons. It is our best hope. Our only hope.”
.(the video continues … with claims of nuclear racism) NYrs find a way to support this treaty….after all it was here where nuclear weapons began. (…) and many NY communities, primarily in black and brown and under served NYC communities continue to suffer from the radio active legacy of that program … many NYrs not knowing this. […] many do not know that NYC, prior to 1980’s legislation, was surrounded by Nuclear Missiles [… ] that made NYC more of a target [….] Thank you for your support … (let’s) see the rest of the world join is.” [End Video]
Jan. 14, 2023.Times Square. On a very cold day (about 23 F/ -5 C) our fingers and hands were very cold., but no matter, the protest went on as the Socialist. Marxist, Hard Core Left gathered in Times Square – on Martin Luther King Day – using this day to march against the Imperialist, War-Mongering United States.
Proclaiming this to be a Global Issue, they demanded “Say NO to NATO. STOP U.S. WARS. End all U.S. Wars!”
Statement from Protest:“It is crucial that opponents of the U.S. war machine stand up for peace as the Biden administration and Congress deepen their proxy battle in Ukraine! In the federal budget that was just passed and signed into law, the U.S. government has committed an additional $45 billion to this effort. In another provocative escalation, the Biden administration announced that it was sending the advanced Patriot missile system to Ukraine — bringing a catastrophic direct conflict with Russia ever closer.”

Video Chants crowd:
” Are you Republican – No!
A Democrat- No.! …. Two wings of the same bird.”
Just in case you wondered : Capitalism is the enemy.
Next up is Lamis Deek, a self-described “palestinian”- American lawyer. She is an activist for controversial “palestinian” initiatives and opponent of the State of Israel’s existence. She is a member of a number of anti-Israel and radical-left organizations, including Al-Awda NY: The “palestine” Right to Return Coalition, the Arab Muslim American Federation, and the National Lawyers Guild.
From a Lamis Deek Twitter post :
We are not interested in “bi-nationalism
Justice, not identity is our basis
Excerpted Lamis Deek speech transcribed. She told us she represented a GLOBAL War. Lead by an anti-Israel/anti-Zionist contingent. (I’m sorry there was audio difficulty – no wind screen)
“(and) …resurrected in the past few years … approved, where their brutal violence …. across the U.S. … where we saw hundreds of troops lying on the borders of Venezuela …waiting to export their Fascist tactics. When we saw in el Salvador … Zionists…training in open weapons …. tens of thousands of oppressed el Salvadorians in South Africa. They gained nuclear weapons and shelter and money to the oppressive apartheid regime and then gave asylum to the worst offenders of …. asylum in South Africa. SO, it is NO exaggeration TODAY that where there is ZIONISM, where there is Israel, there is OPPRESSION. There is White Supremacy. There is violence. And Israel is a fundamental threat to ALL people. (Cheers) And so, it holds true that resistance … ‘palestine’, ‘palestinian‘ freedom fighters, fighting for GLOBAL liberation (cheers) GLOBAL peace, GLOBAL morality and GLOBAL progress (hoots and cheers) and then ‘palestine” will be free, from the river to the sea: a chant for ONE LIBERATED ‘palestine’.… in occupied land … a rallying call for GLOBAL Liberation. (cheers) ….the exporter of Global Violence and …. Global Militarization. But it is a safe (?) …. it is a wound producing all of that in which the world suffers. And so we take this moment and with honesty, and we must admit a very difficult time in ‘palestine’ – ‘palestinians’ are literally being ….and murdered and silenced . ….. we are suffering materially …. and we ask you to HONOR our brothers and sisters who are being murdered – just this morning. And yesterday…and honor ‘palestinian’ freedom fighters… long live the ‘palestinian’ resistance. (cheers) Long Live the ‘palestinian’ Resistance. … We ask you, because we understand … for everybody individually and collectively, these are challenging times because we know that materially, collectively and ideologically there will be NO Global Peace without ‘palestinian liberation …. And that you raise the ‘palestinian’ flag higher … inside of ‘palestine.’ And that you raise for voices, where ever they may be, to demand ( …. ) of apartheid, genocide in ‘palestine’ (……….) which threaten the world. That you also demand … against the Zionist State . And that you demand that all ‘palestinian’ freedom fighters in Zionist dungeons are liberated … and demand the liberation of ‘palestine’ from the river to the sea. And we know … absolutely exciting times for all of us … that you remember individually and collectively you are powerful. And remember that no wall is too high, no ocean too wide and no oppression too great to … the united will of the people . (Cheers) Free Free “palestine”. Long Live “palestine”. From the River to the Sea. “palestine” will be Free. (Cheers)”
“NATO Expansion – NO! Peace in Ukraine- Yes.” as Lamis Deek spoke for GLOBAL recognition of ‘palestine‘ and the eradication of the democratic state of Israel … and a need for a ‘palestinian’ global victory. Is this REALLY call for GLOBAL peace?
NEXT VIDEO – of course, Sara Flounders from United National Anti-War Coalition was amongst the many speakers. Sara is an American political writer and Russia Today reporter[1] who has been active in progressive and anti-war organizing since the 1960s. She is a member of the Secretariat of Workers World Party, as well as a principal leader of the International Action Center. She also frequently writes for Workers World newspaper.
(Sara had no wind screen issues)
.Transcribed Sara Flounders video:
“... not to go backwards, to demands that earlier generations fought for; millions of people in Europe demonstrated again and again to say “NO to NATO. Disband NATO. Abolish NATO”. So, that’s important when we think of the slogans today. Now, I’m part of the United National Anti-War Coalition and on the demands of “NO to NATO” and “STOP U.S. Wars” there are demonstrations this week in more than 50 cities across the U.S. (unclear) That means not only here today, all across the country people are beginning- BEGINNING- to mobilize. Beginning to speak out at this grand theft. Billions. Billions for a new war. Just a few months out of the massive destruction they created in Afghanistan (….??)1:13 a war with years in the planning. Even long before the 2014 Fascist coup. That was a U.S. coup d état and it was the one reason only to bring in a Fascist ….. to threaten Russia; to bomb Russia and the Russian population of Ukraine; to expand NATO. That’s what it’s always been about. Now they’re doing the same thing today against China. That’s what the whole struggle in Taiwan, in South Korea, in Japan… Japan has just doubled – doubled its military budget. It’ll soon be the third largest military power in alliance with the U.S. (for) war on China. So we gotta be talking about all these U.S. wars cause they’re at it constantly. They’re planning for it. They move the equipment for it. And our unity, standing together, standing in many actions all across the country; working together and pushing the demands as far as we can go, because these wars (called the) Democrat(ic) party, the Republican party: they’re together. There’s ONE War Party. It’s got two wings, different social base but on the war they will vote together again and again. And it’s only … People’s Movements, from the (…)? the Grass Roots Movement that’s gonna stop them. “No to NATO. Stop ALL U.S. Wars “(cheers)”

PEACE is a questionable result from these “anti-War” protests. (found a Lamis Deek 2021 video posted on Twitter) where – once again – Lamis is promoting ‘palestinian peace’ at any COST …. I think, she just might want WAR. A GLOBAL War. ( talk amongst yourselves)

On December 19, 2022 the Guardians of Divinity (G.O.D.) respectfully approached NYC Councilman Erik Bottcher’s office to demand a public apology for falsely labeling them “Faces of Hate” merely because they opposed the NYPL Drag Queen Story Hour. ( see Bottcher’s video from December 17th)
He was called out for his LIES and his unwillingness to apologize. But, Bottcher Hid and Lied – again and again- as he continued his “Faces of Hate“slander and accused them of STORMING his office. ALL LIES.
These videos reveal there was no ‘STORMING’. (Video Part 1)
.. But, the cowardly Erik Bottcher hid in his office anyway, watching his security cams.( Part 2)
.He could see there was NO storming of the building, as did the FNTV cameraman, Ed Quinn. They both continued the ‘STORMING’ lie, even though there was NO such action. Requesting entry by knocking on the door is not an act of aggression.
( Part 3 video as the finished and quietly left the building)
FLICKR Slide Show: Once outside the building, the Guardians chalked their message on the sidewalks while Bottcher continued to HIDE inside. The Freedom News TV cameraman, along with the Councilman, continued to fan the flames of hatred with their LIES.
Outside , still wondering would the Councilman ever respond, the NYPD showed up. But since no laws were broken, there was no reason for the police to hang around.
(Part 4 video ) Out side Bottcher’s office
.I was only at the afternoon office event. What transpired that evening, at his apartment, also did not qualify as storming.Holding signs. ringing his buzzer. Calling him out from the street was their right as protestors. Yet, Bottcher, ever the drama queen, had the NYPD arrest two female protestors who had done NOTHING to support his claims of threatening his safety. AGAIN. HE LIED.
The only real damage done was by one of Bottcher’s people who didn’t like the chalk on the sidewalk, so he BROKE the phone of a protestor. (A crime ignored by the police.)
Guardian’s Video that evening
.The Councilman has now used the courts to threaten the protestors with arrest if they come within a certain distance of HIM. He got a judge to give him an ORDER Of PROTECTION.
ARREST INFO –
Now THIS is the template for storming, threatening. destruction and death. that was laid down in 2020. The Summer of BLM HATE. We should never forget the summer of 2020 and the lack of concern from the left-media. Those violent perpetrators WALKED.
What took place on the 19th of December – in NYC- day and night was nothing more than legal protesting. The Councilman’s charges were lies. Demanding their arrest for protesting … Shame, Shame on you, Councilman Bottcher.
“Save the Children. Let the Children Be Children. Why must Drag Queens read to children. What are they promoting? Let the Kids Be Kids”
The Guardians still await their apology.

On Dec 17th, 2022, the Guardians of Divinity returned to protest another Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) What follows are some of the links that support their Save The Children/ Let the Kids Be Kids protests.
On Dec 17, 2022, the Guardians of Divinity (G.O.D) gathered to protest the Drag Queen Story Hour(DQSH) aimed at very young children.
The NYPD forced them into the street …. which increased the volume of the protest voices since the ANTIFA /Rise and Resist protestors blocked the entrance to the library (and they were VERY loud)
Flickr Slide show – The NYPD and Councilman Bottcher ignored their message: “Why must Drag Queens read ‘identity’ books to children. What are they promoting?”
.An unnecessary addition this day was the predictably bare-breasted Crackhead Barney (who was welcomed by the ANTIFA’s) and the district Councilman, Erik Bottcher. Bottcher was busily posting to his social media with NO MENTION of the offensive flasher, CrackHead Barney who announced she would be holding a DQSH outside the library …. and the ANTIFA protestors welcomed her. (Part 1 of 7)
CRACK HEAD BARNEY 20th St Flickr pics. [ Slide show link] Her shtick is so obscene that it’s NSFW, so the MSM progs soft pedal her displays.

With her breasts flopping out of her costume, “Barney” announced she would be holding a Story Hour on the street, with the soc/commie/leftists welcoming her… NO matter what she does,

.Does the pornographic Crackhead Barney represent the pro-DQSH protesters? [crickets] Instead, what the social media/media promoted that day was Councilman Bottcher’s “Faces of Hate” mantra …. without addressing , “Are these Drag Queens appropriate for young children?

.AGAIN, the Guardians of Divinity asked, WHY is it important to expose toddlers to these glittery, bewigged costumed men —- as though they are a normal part of growing up. Why must these Story Hours teach children about cross-dressing men with books like “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”
This is unnecessary indoctrination. They claim it is not to encourage male children to explore Drag ….but what else will they take away from this. Particularly with the types of books and songs on the line up of ‘ acceptable” materials.
Unfortunately, Bottcher had one exchange with a protestor that allowed him to social media loop his ‘faces of hate” mantra, that any protest against DQSH’s is a hate-fest against LGBTQ+’s …. and the MEDIA was a willing purveyor of those lies.
But, the Guardians of Divinity are NOT Faces of Hate and feeding the media misleading sound bites led the Guardians to demand an apology from their Councilman. Two Days later they went to the Councilman’s office to demand a public apology.
Unfortunately he HID inside and then promoted AGAIN a querulous story that they had stormed the building. The videos in the next post support the Guardians as having respectfully approached the councilman’s office. (WHERE he HID.
Sadly, the lies have taken hold. and the children are the losers.

The hypocrites running SAG cover for an elite core of union members who avoid the clot-shot, yet still work! Membership for the average union member includes pay your dues, BUT they must COMPLY to vax or NOT work. (some are more equal than others)
“Shame on You, SAG”.
Today they were outside a NY Public Library on East 79th St.
The upper east side of Manhattan aka
They all have one purpose: to shut down any opposition, and to do this they go where they want and do what they want.
Today, outside the library there were an unusual amount of strollers.
Perhaps it’s the UES nannys looking to keep the kids busy (no matter what the event).
One. Big. Obnoxious. GAME.
And AGAIN the instigator-in-green (1:06 n video) arrived to create more confrontations. ( composite exposed how many confrontations she created)
Instead, anyone protesting these Story Hours are labeled racists, bigots and homophobes aka Faces of Hate.
