Nov 8, 2023. Outside the Uganda Mission across from U.N.
The pro -‘palestinian’ press-hype hung their “Cease Fire Now” on this location since Dr. Martin Luther King spoke here 50 years ago opposing the Viet Nam war.
The infamous Linda Sarsour. (who once claimed Israel Is ‘Built on the Idea That Jews Are Supreme to Everyone Else’) was one of the main speakers at the March For Gaza. Listen with a critical ear as she has a air of confidence spouting propaganda that eschews the facts. (Behind her is BLM’s Tamika Mallory who has refused to say Israel has the right to exist) VIDEO:
.I listened to three speakers. Women. And they did not fail to disappoint. The Leftists and ‘palis’ have shamefully denied the crimes of Hamas, particularly their crimes against women and children.
Hypocrites who preach LOVE , like the Author of Fierce Love: “A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World“, The Rev. Dr. Jacqui (Jacqueline) Lewis – Senior MinisterMiddle Church. …. VIDEO:

They ignore history. Ancient history. Stuck on stupid, they rant about 75 years as though there had been no anti-Jewish attacks from the Muslim world prior to 1948.
NEXT, Marwa Janini , Sarsour’s successor as Executive Director of the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY) … a left-of-center org which focuses on immigration policy, criminal justice policy and other issues impacting the Arab American community in New York City. VIDEO:
Another woman who spoke, Carmen Perez, internationally-known civil and human rights leader and Chicana feminist; a co-founder of the Women’s March and the current executive director of The Gathering For Justice a far-left “social justice” advocacy organization established by far-left activist and singer Harry Belafonte.
Like her fellow Women’s March leaders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, Perez has expressed support for Nation of Islam leader and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and her support of convicted Brinks robbery associate Baba Sekou Odinga.
Disappointed, I failed to get an audio I could use.The police made our jobs as reporters difficult this day, forcing the press to film from a distance: no press area. Forcing the press to jockey for positions from across East 45th street.

Should Israel Spare the Gazan “Innocents”?
By Madeline Brooks*
As the world knows, or very tellingly, should know, the Israeli Defense Force goes to great lengths to spare the lives of Gazans presumed innocent. In the moral smog of war, this important fact is usually overlooked by the international crowd of Israel critics.
The IDF gave abundant warning to Gazans with leaflets and even phone calls to go to the south of Gaza, out of the immediate war zone. Some Gazans did head south, waving white flags and getting shot at by their own Hamas government. Others stayed, even though they were offered a substantial reward and a safe place to live if they cooperated in getting the hostages out.
Just who is Israel sparing? The sixteen year old boy who at this moment does not have a rifle in his hand, although his school books teach him to hate Jews? Hordes of “civilian” young men, out of uniform, who nevertheless swarmed into southern Israel on October 7 after the uniformed jihadis to rape, behead and burn Jewish families? How about the mother who sings her child to sleep with lullabies about killing Israelis, or the young girl engaged to a jihadi, egging him on?
Most horribly, a huge crowd of military age Gazan men were shown a movie of the massacres of Jews on October 7. This was the same video put together by the IDF from the cameras of the terrorists. Somehow the video got into the Gazans’ hands and was shown at al Shifa hospital. When Israeli journalists watched the video, many were so upset they vomited or sobbed uncontrollably. What did the Gazans do? They cheered. They roared their approval. Allahu Akbar.
Please watch the reaction of the Gazanspresumed innocent starting at the 18:05 minute mark and repeated at the 32:36 minute mark.
.These are among the creatures that the IDF may have been trying to spare, even at the cost of their own lives since the whole area could have been bombed so thoroughly from above that it would be turned into a parking lot, with no escape from the tunnels. Such was the sentiment among some at the start of the war. Instead, the IDF is engaged in a prolonged building to building fight, which puts its own soldiers at great risk, all to spare presumed innocents.
Does it make sense to spare one’s enemies whose blood lust gets fed by reliving what they did to Israelis a month ago – what they can and will do again when they see more weakness? Since Israel’s inception, every time its guard went down and it trusted its sworn enemies, it paid a terrible price in blood.
Sadly, and adding to the complexity of it all, there are some Gazans who reject Hamas and are willing to describe its horrors to an Israeli, as seen in this video. These Gazans had to flee to Europe to be able to speak freely about Hamas without getting their legs broken or getting killed. One of them speaks of friends still in Gaza who hate Hamas as much as he does.
Yet if Israel goes down, diaspora Jews will have very hard lives. More than that, the rest of the world will be faced with a “barbarism that has no place in the modern world” as Isaac Herzog, Israel’s president, said in an open letter to university administrators.
Across the planet, protests are going on to stop the bombing and spare the “innocent” civilians. That would mean protecting the terrorists-in-waiting that we see in the hospital’s movie audience. Protests by the keffiyeh kiddos inspire the jihad and bring in fresh recruits, as well as putting pressure on weak government officials to stop Israel from fully defending herself.
Israel could have taken the Joshua option, eliminating all threats as in the Old Testament books of Deuteronomy and Joshua. But it has chosen a softer approach, one that may bring more war upon its head in the future, and still no world acceptance. As we see, anti Israel and anti Jewish protests began even before Israel went into Gaza, and grow stronger everyday. Hate has a life of its own. Holding back on war efforts has no apparent effect on rage against Jews.
Any other country would be widely praised for its self-sacrifice. But not Israel. Israel gets accused of committing genocide, a projection of what Hamas is clearly doing.
Israel has a hard choice to make: Dodge worldwide criticism or fight like Joshua and the Israelites in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, where the Almighty ordered the elimination of all who did not answer the call to surrender. Survival may only come by fighting Biblically. Granted, that sounds morally difficult in today’s climate, though it was practiced by the United States in Dresden, Germany and two Japanese cities during WWII.
Certainly, watching the video of Gazan men, who may be off duty jihadists, cheering as they watch their fellows chop, rape and burn other human beings…that should open new doors to careful thinking about Gazan innocents.

Words straight from a senior Hamas official:
“We will repeat the actions of October 7 again and again until Israel is destroyed.”Hamas has one goal:To wipe Israel and its people off the face of the earth. “
In the background of the next video, at third Avenue, I noticed later there was a vandalized hostage /kidnapped poster.

And as the JEW HATRED grows, even the police are fearful of standing up for Israel:

“… a man waving an Israel flag as a pro-Palestine march approached in NYC. Cops moved him away and surrounded him and told him to put the flag away because he was instigating.”
SAD. WRONG. Censorship that aides the genocidal palis by silencing the truth. We must NOT be SILENT.

“I write about what could stop the bombing if they took responsibility for themselves, and I look at them through a family systems lens. They are like the very troubled child living off Daddy who wants to burn the house down. Let us not buy into their self pitying smokescreen.” MB
Madeline is a conservative and counter-jihad writer. She can be reached at resistjihad@aol.com
.The latest moral confusion about the Hamas/Gaza problem is whether or not to continue bombing. The plea is that civilians are innocent and must be spared. A mainstream TV broadcast showed a wide-eyed Gaza man saying, “I was as surprised as the Israelis by the October 7 attack. So why punish me with bombing?”
This is a message for you, Mr. Average Gazan, and any other Gazan like you. Here’s why Gaza is still being bombed.
First of all, it’s hard to know if you are telling the truth. The terrorists planning the attack acted for two years as if they were peaceful, all the while stockpiling weapons. Taqiyyah, or lying to your enemies, is endorsed in the Koran (3:28) and in other Muslim writings. An apparent peacemaker, Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, who was responsible for the Gilad prisoner exchange, turned out to be totally treacherous. While fooling the leftist chump he bargained with, Hamad talked about negotiating peace. Now Hamad shows his true colors, vowing to repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is eliminated, as Caroline Glick points out.
Also, Mr. Ordinary Gazan, although you may not have known the exact date of the latest massacre, all Hamas has been screaming about is death to Israel from the start. So don’t play innocent.
Secondly, you have been receiving food, water, electricity, and medicine mostly from Israel, your so-called oppressor. Actually, Israel has been your daddy, and you have let yourself live like a ward of the state — a supremely ungrateful ward. When Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, it left you orchards and sophisticated greenhouses, which produced income for the Jews who developed them and could have for you, too. But you tore them down out of spite. You also could have developed your beautiful beaches into profitable resorts. There was no Israeli “occupation” preventing your economic development, since Israel was not there. But Hamas was, and you apparently accepted Hamas’s dictatorial, one-party control.
Wake up to how your Islamist leaders have been taking international money that was meant for you and using it for their own luxurious living as well as for secret armaments. That is a big part of why you are poor.
Thirdly, Israel has offered peace to you on multiple occasions, but you preferred war, and a continuation of your hostile dependency. Looking at this mess from a family systems dynamic, you are the deeply troubled child refusing to help himself, relying totally on others to support him, and staying emotionally and financially crippled, taking pride not in accomplishments, but in destruction. Beyond that is your insane conviction that your host country must die, even as you bite the hand that feeds you. Apparently, neither you nor the world has noticed yet how untenable your demands are. You have successfully put up a smokescreen of self-pity and victim hood, which does nothing to help you getting well.
Playing the victim card right now, begging the world to make Israel stop the war, is a continuation of the smokescreen, giving Hamas more time to get strong and renew the attacks it has announced it will resume.
Fourthly, Gazans owe the world and especially Israelis an apology for all of the above. You must declare that you reject Hamas’s goal to kill all the Jews and take over Israel and the world. Tell the worldwide “hate Jews” movement yelling in support of you that it’s time for them to grow up, too. If you, Mr. Average Gazan, really want the bombing to stop, you must cooperate with Israel and help the Israelis find Hamas operatives and weapons caches, and whatever else will help the Israeli war effort.
In short, Gazans must take full responsibility for their support of Hamas and do all they can to disable it. Otherwise, Israel has no good reason to stop the bombing. You, Mr. Average Gazan, have been given the benefit of the doubt as an innocent victim. And you have shown you don’t deserve it.
Prove otherwise. Work now with Israel to halt the war and then develop a peaceful way of life. Or get bombed. The choice is yours.
Will this happen? Not very likely. But it is the moral path forward. Stating it can help you get clear on your need to take responsibility for yourself. It can also help the guilt-ridden international community make a decision to no longer let themselves be manipulated by your endless irrationalities.
My Flickr slideshow from October 13, 2023, in Times Squarefocuses on the obnoxiousInternational Day of Action for “palestine”.
The “palis’ and their Commie supporters ALWAYS put on a good show. Posters, marches, chants. The media loves them. BUT what is MISSING?
These are LIES. ALL lies.
Adding two addendums that compliment Madeline’s post:
Seventy-five years ago, my husband’s family was part of Egypt’s flourishing Jewish community. After Israel’s establishment in 1948, their community was destroyed. Egyptian Jews fled anti-Jewish persecution or were expelled.
But, speaking to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi recently denied this well-documented history. Instead, he audaciously claimed:
“I grew up in a neighborhood side-by-side with the Jews of Egypt. They were never subject to any form of persecution whatsoever. They were never targeted in any way whatsoever…. Maybe they were targeted in Europe, in Spain, in other countries, but in our Arab and Islamic region, nothing like this ever happened.”
While astonishing that Sisi, the leader of a U.S. ally, would spread ahistorical propaganda — many on the extreme political left promote similar lies.
The reason is simple: Middle Eastern and North African Jews do not fit a neat narrative about Israel’s supposed evil as a symbol of Western colonialism. The culpability of Jews and the “eternal innocence” of those who brutally resist the West by murdering civilians does not allow for Jewish victimhood when the perpetrators are not white or European.
But the history of Jewish life under hundreds of years of Islamic rule paints a different picture.
Jews under Islamic regimes were dhimmi, or a “protected people of the book” permitted to live in Muslim societies. They were however subject to regulations, such as paying the jizyah tax levied on non-Muslims, exclusion from certain professions, restricted habitation in ghettos, and often forced to wear distinctive clothing meant to demonstrate submission to Muslims.
Even with this “protected” status, Jews were under threat as a minority. Fanatics who rejected tolerant Islam often perpetrated anti-Jewish violence, including the slaughter and expulsion of Jewish tribes in the 7th century, the Almohades’ persecution in the 12th century, 17th-century forced conversion of Jews in Isfahan and manifold other expulsions, massacres and forced conversions — all of which are often erased in historical retellings like Sisi’s.
Modern history of anti-Jewish violence by fundamentalist Islamists is also denied or ignored. Before Israel was established, more than 800,000 Jews lived across the Middle East and North Africa. After Israel’ s establishment, hundreds of thousands of Jews left, fled or were expelled from Islamic-majority countries, threatened by rising Arab anti-Jewish sentiment and violence.
This persecution — ironically — resulted in todays’ Israeli Jewish population whose majority is made up of “Brown” Mizrahi Jews, indisputably indigenous to the region even for those with a penchant for denying ancient Jewish ties to Israel. With a few exceptions, their families’ former countries have largely become Jew-free. Today, as a Jew, I cannot safely visit most of the countries that generations of my extended family once called home.
But why is anti-Jewish violence and antisemitism in both pre-modern and modern Middle East and North Africa denied or ignored?
The reason is simple. Erasing Middle Eastern Jewish history and historical oppression of Jews sets up a bedrock of falsehoods to support the justification for terror: The decolonization argument, the belief that Hamas’ terror serves as legitimate resistance to a colonizing power.
Proponents of this false theory argue that Zionism grew directly from Western colonialism. Jews who settled Israel are seen as white European colonizers who carry the West’s moral stains and re-victimize its Muslim innocents. The Holocaust, typically understood as a key event in the legitimization of Zionism, is construed as yet another crime of European colonialism that indirectly led to the persecution of Palestinians.
Seeing this conflict as merely a question of colonialism is based on historical lies and allows for grotesque moral conclusions.
First, any violence against Israelis is legitimized and becomes the fault of the colonizers — either Europeans or Jews themselves — but never fundamentalist Islamists who perpetrate them.
Second, Jews cease to be innocent civilians. Whether adults or babies, whether they support a two-state solution or not, whether Israelis or Jews living in countries outside of Israel, they are legitimate targets for “freedom fighters” engaged in a prolonged anti-colonial struggle.
This false narrative assumes that Israelis should be viewed strictly as colonizers and Palestinians strictly as their resisters. It assumes that fundamentalist Islamists bear no responsibility for their actions. It ignores anti-Jewish violence by Islamists around the world. It denies agency to the very people whom it claims to speak for — Palestinians. It assumes that if only Israel were to dismantle itself, Jews would live peacefully again in the Middle East.
The events of Oct. 7 — and their aftermath — show the utter folly of that idea.
Oct 29, 2023. Curtis Sliwa joined those who came out in a steady rain at Cooper Union to challenge the constant LIES that Hamas and the anti-Israel protestors feed to the media.

In the middle of Times Square I found 224 “Empty Tables/Empty Chairs” set for shabbat.
“On October 7th,2023, an unprecedented and horrifying attack against Israel was launched over Shabbat and the holiday of Shemini Atzeret.
ISRAEL IS AT WAR!
In times of crisis, we MUST stand together. While our hearts break for the wounded, kidnapped, and murdered and their families, we are proud that our community rallies to show our support.” [IAC Israel]

First slide show : The 224 places representing those held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, 30 of them are children. HOSTAGES of HAMAS. This is a CRIME against Humanity. Israel. And the Jews.
Flickr 2- Later, families of some of the hostages were going to speak. Meanwhile I took pictures of those present. It seemed to be many friends and families
Video 1- Walking around the empty chairs. The children’s tables. High chairs. baby bottles. The beautiful flowers and challah. It was a deeply moving experience particularly the children’s table where chairs were knocked over and little toy-bears were blind folded and torn apart.
Video 2- IAC Board Member, Tal Shusterwas the first speaker.
Tal was born and raised in Israel, serving three years as an Officer in the Israeli Army, Tal arrived in the United States to complete her studies and graduate from Rutgers. Tal and her husband Eyal Shuster, have four children and live in Jersey City.
She was followed briefly by a woman who held a list of the countries supporting “palestine”; the hatred and racism. [She was being interviewed on camera so she wasn’t on mic.]
Video 3- While IAC Council member, Aviv Ezra,Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, was being interviewed to my left, a woman to my right began a very loud, emotional statement. Everything stopped. She wanted everyone, the world, the city to hear her. She was so overwrought, that eventually she was given a supportive embrace to calm her down.
In the back ground of the video…. “Dear NY Times Words DO Break Bones …. ”
Update with links and 2 short videos addressing the continued support for Pali/Hamas.
This young woman, confronts the lies that support Hamas. The lost generations who know only the anti-Israel/ anti-Jewish agitprop should listen to her. (but…they won’t) “If you truly want PEACE, you Stand With Israel”
And Starbucks … What were you thinking?
Supporting HAMAS? Starbucks is on the WRONG side of the protest Game.
This was so unnecessary.

Powerful and deeply emotional.
Security was tight, as I expected. My press cameras were inspected to make sure they were actually cameras, but … understood.
FLICKR Slideshow Part 1
Once in the press enclosure, I wasn’t sure I was loving this location, surrounded by way too many cameras, but this was where I landed.* fellow journalists were getting great video and pictures of the crowd from outside the press area.* so, eventually, I too left this area.
FLICKR Slideshow Part 2
The evening began with U.S. National Anthem AND then Hatikvah (sung by Gilad Paz and Shiri Maimon).
Then, from the MC: “We no longer can be the Jews trembling in the shadows,” actor and activist Yuval David, a dual Israeli and American citizen, “We know what happened to us then, and we know what is happening to us now.” (the video is an excerpt of his opening remarks)
Elan Carr (CEO of Israeli American Council, quoted by WPIX) “The (hostages) are suffering unimaginable agony every moment, and we are here to demand the release of those hostages as well as to stand for Israel’s inalienable right to defend itself decisively.”
Elan Carr then introduced Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) Senate Majority Leader and highest-ranking Jewish official in US history. The senator pledged America would do everything it can to rescue those held by the terrorists.
Video: NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who was supposed to be at the rally, bailed and sent a recorded message instead. He started awkwardly referring to Emmet Till, then once on message with the tragedy in Israel, he concluded by hoping for a PEACEFUL Resolution.(what would that entail?)
Ambassador Gilad Erdan (permanent representative of Israel to the United Nations since 2020) Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, declared that “Gaza will not have a moment of quiet until we bring them home and we will bring them. Israel will prevail.” (NY Post)
The parents of Israeli-American hostage, Omer Nuetra: Ronen and Orna Neutra. Omer had just turned 22.
The Acting General Council of Israel in NY- Aviv Ezra .
ALL were impassioned and committed to BRING THEM HOME-NOW.
Found this on line at Twitter X- “We as Muslims, don’t hate any body for what they are , we deal with someone according to his actions with us. The issue in Palestine now is they want their land back from the occupying Zionist. Before Israel, there were a jews in Palestine and every thing was alright.” NOT CORRECT, but this is what they have been TAUGHT
I left the press area to get a better look at the crowd.
It was huge and message oriented.
15 billboards in Times Sq were alive with the faces of those kidnapped. The mother and daughter below were freed the next day, BUT tragically there are still 200 hostages.
Israeli American Council demands the 200 hostages be freed NOW. However, Hamas has said it will not release the hostages until Israel ends its attack on Gaza, where some 2.3 million Palestinians live. The terrorists have also demanded the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody.
SO, is a PEACEFUL resolution even possible when the hostages are not HOME?

“In legitimate scientific research, the data obtained by experimentation or observation are never adjusted; adjustments corrupt the data and invalidate the results. If the methodology used in an experiment or observation is faulty, one adjusts the methodology, not the data obtained from the investigation.
In effect, adjustments to temperature readings have artificially “created” global warming.
…. the Earth has no average temperature to measure or calculate,
…. CO2 does not cause global warming. I use publicly available data from the world’s temperature databases to prove that there has been no statistically significant global warming of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, or land mass as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increased, thereby falsifying the global warming hypothesis.
…. It is all about the money and political power. Science has been sacrificed on the altar of political opportunism for economic and political gain.

Why do people always reference dead dinosaurs when discussing oil and other fossil fuels. How did dinosaurs turn into oil? [NY Post- 6]
Jacob Hall 3y[QUORA-7]Unfortunately a large percentage of people in modern times are ignorant in the majority… and seemingly have absolutely no intention of ever changing that. Most people around 45 years old or younger were actually taught the truth back in school… but I guess most were not paying attention.
Originally the concept of “fossil fuels” was brought about by some misinformation from the 1700’s.
This term was apparently first used by German chemist Caspar Neumann in 1759. It was subsequently used in the early 1900s to give people the idea that petroleum, coal and natural gas come from “ancient living things”, as a way to promote them as a “natural substance” within the public’s consciousness of those times.
Even as recently as the 1970’s some oil companies still inaccurately referred to their products as “dead dinosaurs” (you really would think that these kinds of specialised companies would at least understand the product they are selling).
The term “fossil fuel” is just a misnomer that caught on and has continued to persist into modern times. But oil and natural gas do not actually come from “fossilized dinosaurs” (hence they are not actually “fossil fuels” at all).
Petroleum, natural gas and coal come from ancient pressurised and “cooked” BIOMASS, primarily from plankton and decaying marine organisms, and single-celled bacteria that evolved in the Earth’s oceans about three billion or so years ago.
Therefore, oil and gas are still “organic” BUT contain no actual “fossils”.
Coal on the other hand was mainly laid down during the Carboniferous period, about 300 million years ago (which was still a good 75 million or so years before the rise of the first dinosaurs). Coal was formed when the dense forests and jungles were buried beneath layers of sediment, and their unique fibrous chemical structure caused them to be ‘cooked’ into solid coal rather than liquid oil.
I guess “Ancient Dead Biomass” Fuels just isn’t a “sexy” enough term to have ever caught on… and as a consequence inaccurate terms and concepts like “fossil fuels” continue to persist.
Is the oil we are burning today the corpses of dinosaurs?
No, virtually none of the oil we are burning today came from dead dinosaurs. This is a popular misconception, similar to the cartoons of cave men living among the dinosaurs. Neither is true, they are just memes that are propagated by people who are trying to be funny, or people who don’t know any better.
In reality, the vast majority of oil on earth today originated as marine plankton that lived in shallow seas. As the plankton died, it sank to the bottom and was buried in the mud under anaerobic conditions where it did not decay. Over time, the increasing sediment from above buried this organic mud deeper and deeper.
….regardless of where it is found, virtually none of the oil comes from dinosaurs, nearly all of it comes from marine plankton.
IN CONCLUSION:
[Although it may seem contradictory, the cornerstone of the scientific method is the ability to falsify, not prove, a hypothesis.If there is no means to disprove a hypothesis, there is no means to verify its validity.
As Einstein famously stated, “no amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.“] [American Thinker -9]
Signs are good that the western monarch butterfly is again flourishing in the Golden State after fluttering near the brink of extinction. The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has announced that its most recent yearly monarch count registered more than 330,000 of the distinctive orange-and-black beauties in California—a massive increase since 2020, when just 2,000 were tallied
The world’s poorest people contribute the least but suffer the most from the climate crisis. Climate change impacts people’s health, ability to access nutritious food, and livelihoods.
“The crisis facing the United States, exacerbated by the pandemic, is rooted in the capitalist system. The US has embraced insane, libertarian neo-liberal economics. [ …] The public is viewed by the ruling elite as an obnoxious horde to be controlled and managed. The United States and the rest of the world are being reduced to greater poverty, in order to ensure that a clique of big bankers and international monopolies can stay at the top of a global high-tech economy. The danger of a new world war hangs over the USA, as it threatens countries like China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.”

A previous post re Socialism and the Left (2018) Caleb for 16 minutes walks the streets of NY while tracing the economic history of socialism and why capitalism is the problem . [@RealCalebMaupin]
IN CONCLUSION, ” We need to tell people in the United States that Socialism will make your lives better and it’s capitalism that’s causing so much misery and insecurity.” (15:36 to 16:10)
Caleb T. Maupin has been involved in many struggles for social justice (as) an outspoken advocate of international friendship and cooperation, as well 21st Century Socialism. CPIUSA.org : Center for Political Innovation [@RealCPIUSA]

This is a far cry (hair-wise) from Caleb Maupin 2023. Now so clean cut as he moves from street agitator to suited reporter at Press (Iran ) TV and RT- Russian TV, claiming to love America, even though he believes Capitalism is the problem.
“Why do I have “right-wing” friends now? Because most of my “left-wing” friends stabbed me in the back, and turned on me out of Trump Derangement Syndrome. My beliefs have remained the same. I want to stop WW3. I support all anti-imperialist countries. I oppose Western Capitalism. I advocate empowering the US working class to create a Socialist Society in America.”
“The “woke” left does not believe this, and signing on with them means turning on anyone who does. I refused to change. I’ve been to global communist gatherings. I’ve met with youth from DPRK, China, Vietnam, Cuba and other socialist countries. I know what this stuff is really about and I’m down for the whole thing. I won’t be “wokified.” I’ll build @realcpiusa and work with anyone I can to carry out our minimum, maximum and transitional program.”
China, Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua are showing how growth can actually be achieved…. Controlled means of production to ensure economic growth. It is what the MAGA people want, but they revolt against it because of the term “Socialism”…. the “fight” will be between Fascism and Socialism.’
The Next Generation Communists/Socialists are nurtured in our schools and colleges – they do not chose their path, they are CHOSEN with relentless propaganda …. Watching Caleb march up the ladder of totalitarianism, seems a waste of brains and talent, yet so many like him are also dedicated to this New Normal: SOCIALISM.
…. that confuses, then claims the next (victim) convert.

Gas deliveries ceased in September 2022 following the destruction of three of the pipe lines and sanctions linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of February 2023, there is no conclusive evidence of who carried out the sabotage despite three separate investigations by Denmark, Germany, and Sweden.
Six commercial maglev systems are currently in operation around the world. One is located in Japan, two in South Korea, and three in China.Jul 13, 2023
There are several disadvantages to maglev trains:
– Maglev guide paths are more costly than conventional steel railway tracks. Because the magnetic coils and material used in this setup are very costly.
– Maglev trains require an all-new set up right from the scratch. It is hard to be done as well as costly.
– As present railway infrastructure is of no use for maglev, it will either have to be replaced with the maglev system or an entirely new set up will have to be created; both of them will need a huge amount of cost for initial investments.
– Although maglev is pretty quiet, noise caused by air disturbance still occurs.
– Maglev trains are feasible only in urban areas.
China is now the proud parent of a National Maglev Transportation Technology Research Center. The revered Chengdu Aircraft Industry Cooperation (CAC) in South Central China is also dedicating significant resources to maglev. China now has its own research programmes and says that it can do maglev better and cheaper than Germany or Japan. The growing number of maglev enthusiasts hope that its optimism is not unfounded. For now, the future of maglev seems likely to rest on these Oriental entrepreneurs” (These trains are very costly )
In 2006, the foreign ministers of Brazil, Russia, India, and China metfor the first time … marking the beginning of BRIC cooperation…. In 2011, with South Africa officially becoming a member, BRIC was enlarged to BRICS. …in 2017, China successfully hosted the BRICS Xiamen Summit.
Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector in the 1990s, and a Marine Corps analyst during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan a decade prior, is among the cohort of Americans courted by Russian propaganda sources.
Recently, he launched a tour of his new book, “Disarmament in the time of the Perestroika,” in Russia, and presented it in cities such as Kazan, Irkutsk and Yekaterinburg. The book, he claims, aims to warn the US public about not seeking out escalations with Russia which could lead to a nuclear attack and insists the Western public has forgotten how difficult it was to achieve these agreements in the first place. [Euro-News 2023]
“Recently, he launched a ferocious debate after publishing an article alleging the US had bombed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The controversial gas route through the Baltic Sea was supposed to circumvent countries like Ukraine and Poland – Russia’s main political opponents even before the invasion — in delivering gas to the western part of the continent.“
Good People Hoping for PEACE
Embracing Socialism

. I arrived about 15 min late and saw this monk as he left … he always rings a prayer bell and says a prayer. (picture from 2022)
But, as the event continued, the list of speakers (and signs) seemed to be more politically focused. Opposed to nuclear war, yes, but promoting La Rouche/Schiller and Socialism in tandem with Communism and hard-left politics was the prevailing theme. (which seems schizo when linking to their odd history)
.There was another opening prayer from the Rev. Dr. Terri L. Strong. She also warned of the potential for Nuclear War on this the 78th Anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki. (video)
Gerald Celente is the speaker in this next clip (born 1946) publisher of the Trends Journal, business consultant and author who makes predictions about the global financial markets and other important events. (video) He was an engaging speaker- so New Yawk.
Gerald describes himself as a “political atheist” and “citizen of the world.” He has dedicated his life to finding meaningful change for peace and is also the founder and driving force behind OccupyPeace.us/
Created in 2015 …. “…. designed to stir grassroots initiatives across the country to demand peace by holding elected officials accountable for senselessly prompting war to build other nations and regime change while, at every turn, stripping We The People of our rights at home – invading our privacy, limiting our right to free speech, and subjecting us to military tactics imposed by our local police department.”
Or, perhaps the answer to World Peace was creating a New Paradigm?
“The timing could not have been more propitious for the Schiller Institute conference in 2018, just as momentum was building for the consolidation of a New Paradigm, driven by the diplomatic and economic policy direction defined by China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI).[ …] the new strategic geometry centered on a U.S.-Russia-China alliance, which was emerging in spite of massive resistance from those British and U.S. networks acting to preserve the dangerous old world defined by geopolitics.”

Nuclear POWER not Nuclear War
Beam Defense, an alternative.
“The Iron Beam is intended to work in tandem withIsrael’s Iron Dome air defense system — also made by Rafael — as “another layer in our air defense strategy and deployment, Operators will be able to choose whether to neutralize threats using traditional kinetic missiles or the Iron Beam’s laser.”

“What is the basis of moral and social obligation?”
Plato’s well-known answer rests upon the fundamental responsibility to seek wisdom …. justice is obtained when knowledge of how to fulfill one’s moral and political function in society is put into practice.”
“The danger of nuclear war has escalated to a point that no thoughtful person on the planet can ignore it any longer. … It is clear that those who provoked the war, and continue to escalate it, do not care about the lives of the people of Ukraine or any other nation on the planet. This is NOT acceptable to those who care about the well-being of ALL humanity — [End Global NATO)
“… show our respect for those who lost their lives in the unnecessary and genocidal nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States … We remind humanity that nuclear war … the final and biggest crime against humanity … must (not) become the dominant voice in the world …. Peace … an urgent necessity for humanity’s survival and progress.”
.
“The Schiller Institute is a German-based political and economic think tank founded by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, (the widow of American political activist Lyndon LaRouche)… The institute’s stated aim is to apply the ideas of the poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller to what it calls the “contemporary world crisis.”
.
Their global positions:
In 2015, Zepp-LaRouche described climate change as a “Satanic swindle”. In her opinion, it “supplies the argumentation to establish a global eco-dictatorship whose results, and whose declared intention is to eliminate six billion human beings”.
.
In July 2016, Zepp-LaRouche spoke at the first panel on the Think 20 Summit, which was organised by three Chinese academies and institutes…”
The producer/director of the film, 8:15 Hiroshima, From Father to Daughter” –J.R. Heffelfinger. spoke “…. giving voice to the voiceless and making the invisible, visible. ”
He promoted his film and shared that on Jan 24, 2023 “the Doomsday Clock was moved to 90 seconds before midnight. The closest it’s been since its creation in 1947. And quoted author John Hersey”What has kept the world safe from the bomb since 1945 has not been deterrence, in a sense of fear of specific weapons so much as it’s been memory; the memory of what happened at Hiroshima.”
Ending Part 1 so many opinions, statements, goals.
“The LaRouche movement has attracted devoted followers and developed some specific and elaborate policy initiatives, but has also been referred to variously as Marxist, fascist, anti-Semitic, a political cult, a personality cult, and a criminal enterprise.[
The LaRouche movement has often been considered a far-right political movement.[..] The Heritage Foundation called it “one of the strangest political groups in American history”, and The Washington Monthly called it a “vast and bizarre vanity press”.

Prove otherwise. Work now with Israel to halt the war and then develop a peaceful way of life. Or get bombed. The choice is yours.
This was so unnecessary.
