I am Muslim, too has returned, proclaiming across Times Square: We Stand With American Muslims!
An I Heart Muslims event organized by the Foundation For Ethnic Understanding — a coalition of religious groups led by record label founder Russell Simmons, Rabbi Marc Schneider (and others)
The crowd was jammed, of course, with all the UWS (upper west side) and Brooklyn Liberal Jews. Signs advertising their blind obedience with “I am a Jew. Today, I’m a Muslim too’ and Muslims, of course, filled out the crowd..
Otherwise- the claim by comic, Dean Obeidallah (the Muslim MC) that we were surrounded by a SEA of Brown faces [stretching to 57th st] was GREATLY exaggerated. [See more in Flickr slideshow]
But, how else would Dean be able to lead with his fake-news punch-line LIE, that Trump’s Florida audience had been a sea of angry white faces filled with HATE. (obviously he didn’t see the black trump supporters in Melbourne, Florida. Sitting proudly behind trump, with signs held prominently towards the cameras.
BTW- co hosting with Obeidallah was lesbian, Jewish comic, Judy Gold. Her level of ignorance re Islam and its deathly intolerance for homosexuals obviously runs DEEP. Nope. the truth is always inconvenient.
SO – onward and upward with I am a MUSLIM, Too – Part Two. Starting things out was the comic co-hosts who screamed us into auditory hell, followed by that that great humanitarian, Def jams’ own Russell Simmons.
Simmons gave a speech to be expected, ‘We are here, unified, because of Donald Trump, so we won’t speak too harshly of him tonight – today. We want to thank him for bringing us together. Middle America’ has been misled. The seeds of hate that were small, and maybe just ignorance, cannot be watered. That hate cannot grow’. Anti-Trump, Pro- Muslim. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Susan Sarandon. The token STAR of the event, gave a DEEP-voiced speech (my god- what happened to her voice) Pro-forma leftist blather as she railed against Trump’s America destroying the constitution and ending with ‘We will fight hatred with love’ and OF COURSE, I am a MUSLIM, too.
Rabbis and pastors – imams, a Sikh, a Buddhist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Mennonite, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist and Hindu – all gave short speeches praising Islam.
As did Rabbi Marc Schneier (President Foundation For Ethnic Understanding) who twice in one short speech proclaimed, I am a Muslim, Too , followed by a sequence of Takbirs (Allah is Greater) … [1;13 in the video]
Ashamed of being Americans in what they claim to be an INTOLERANT America.
Local politicians and civil rights advocates, too. Parading their ignorance of Islam’s INTOLERANT history towards Judaism and Christianity, even NOW in the 21st century. No matter what the historically intolerant facts reveal about Islam, they shouted – each one of them – I AM A MUSLIM, TOO.
So, as the pathetic display of naive inclusiveness and good will continued for the cameras, we heard the required Muslim prayers; allahu akbars and takbirs from the stage . (even got the extra treat of some prayers at the side of the stage)
Linda Sarsour, Brooklyn-born Palestinian-American activist, “I am unapologetically Muslim, all day, every day,” she told the cheering crowd. “I am not afraid because fear is a choice; it is not a fact. So today I ask you, in the true grit and spirit of a New Yorker, that you choose courage in the face of fear.”
Sarsour was also touted as one of the proud organizers of the DC Women’s march .
Fist bumping and ONE finger umma pumping Sarsour. The symbolism did not go unnoticed.
Sarsour BTW resurfaced after seeming to be persona non grata at some recent Muslim pressers down town. But, here she was – front and center – along with intifada NYC’s Debbie Almontaser.
The media war for the hearts and minds of a naive America, whose desire to Love Muslims (Islam is off the table), this circus was the darling of the media for about 4 hours on Sunday, Feb 19.
A circus that will continue to play across the country, dominating the media. Enjoyed. Unchallenged.
As long as the Hate Trump machine rolls on, these LOVE fests will continue. Appearing soon at a school, college and artistic venue near you.
Climate Protestors from 350.org gathered outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s NYC office, demanding that Sen Schumer dump Trump’s “climate denier” Cabinet appointees .
But, where, oh where was global warming when we needed. It was a very cold 11 degrees F.
Climate Groups had Organized #DayAgainstDenial to Reject Trump’s Cabinet. [See Playlist of 4 short video clips]
The Rallies took place at U.S. Senators’ in-state offices nationwide
Washington, DC — On Monday, January 9th, a coalition of climate and environmental organizations were joined by people across the country at rallies for the ‘Day Against Denial’aimed at stopping Trump’s cabinet. The rallies took place at dozens of U.S. Senators’ in-state offices, calling for these elected officials to reject Trump’s climate denial cabinet, including Rex Tillerson, recent former CEO of ExxonMobil, for Secretary of State; Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator; Ex-Gov. Rick Perry for Secretary of Energy; and Rep. Ryan Zinke for Department of Interior.

Flyer the Climate Loons handed to passersby :
They gathered again that evening in Brooklyn, outside Sen. Schumers home
Tuesday marked the start of confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees. The grueling sessions allow senators from both parties to probe nominees’ backgrounds, question their views and priorities for the agencies they’ll be tasked with running, and weigh their expertise.
One potential flashpoint for a number of nominees is climate change and clean energy. Many of Trump’s nominees — and Trump himself — have widely expressed climate science denialism and questioned the value of clean energy.
October 28, 2016. Trump gets no respite from the protesting Left. From Nasty Women (two days previous) to Super Predator. Anarchists & Leftards,
the true NASTIES and Predators-lurk, smirk and snarkily assailed those
who passed by Trump Tower with lies, lies and more lies.“From Sexual Assault to stirring up racist, sexist,and misogynistic emotions, Donald Trump has proven time and again that he’s the SUPER PREDATOR that he claims others (like the Central Park Five) are. Take the fight to his doorstep (Trump Tower) before he’s at ours.”
It was quite a show. Hard-core Leftards of Occu-Evolve verbally sparring with Gary Phaneuf, the Staten Island Heckler. Gary usually hands out China Daily – the official “state-owned enterprise” of the People’s Republic of China while hawking the glories of Che and the Red Chinese.However, this day he was pretending to support Trump/Pence while handing The Hamiltonian – Voice of the Lyndon Larouche Political Movement – to the “angels unaware”. The casual observer had to be a bit confused by Gary, his signs, his newspaper and the heckling between him and the Leftards. Street theatre meant to confuse. Seems the deception is what camera-darling, Marni Halasa, enjoys. No apologies or explanations necessary. Smiling. Blowing kisses. Posing with her “Make America HATE Again” sign. She brings smiles to the faces of those passing by. ( the cops, too)
If you just glance you might think Marni, like Gary, is in the pro-Trump camp. Surely some of have to see sparks when they look at their pictures (LATER) and see what her sign really says.
The first sign of activity when I arrived was “Mr Turd” guy – selling his Turd buttons. A familiar face who always hawks something, cashing in on the moment. Compared to the “Nasty Women – Dump Trump” protest two days ago, these wack jobs are even more nasty since their game includes mocking the gullible touristas. Like this fellow.
His sign, his spiel aims to deceive. Sounding pro-American. Reasonable [see just-a-guy interview in March Central Park 3/16]
Compared with Gary Phaneuf [past link here] Mayday-2010, holding his more familiar props,Red Chinese Flag, China Daily agitprop and Che, while arguing with everyone. Trump Tower 2016, a change of props, and cra-cra Gary, ranting about Soros, Hillary, China and Russia, seemed ‘reasonable’.
Would love to report on more than hard-core Hate Trump-America types – but then – this IS New York City; a radical city, run by Red Bill de Blasio(SEE LINK),
Even so, there were three stalwart pro-Trump protestors. Eliciting a response from one loud-mouthed Lefty- very impressed with her knowledge of borders, “You heard of the Rio Grande?!” [VIDEOof her rant begins at 1:28]
An anti-Hillary / Bernie guy joined the”Prison For Hillary/Build the Wall” guys While one oddly quiet Leftard stood next to these three, and reminded all that it was IMPORTANT to VOTE. Each group was mostly in their own space – the cops in theirs. No pens. No doors blocked. No sidewalks jammed. Just a bit of Leftard Street Theatre – 10 days before the official Election Day. Election Day *sigh* It used to seem more special – But the Left is deconstructing that, too. (I HATE EARLY VOTING)
If “Hilda’ loses, what will happen on the streets post Nov 8 – street theatre at its worst? Hoping America will not buckle to the threats and chaos that might ensue. The LEFT will not take defeat nicely and Hilda – seems she has BIG plans – as winner– IF SHE LOSES – what will she do with all those fireworks!
Proudly they proclaimed: “Eight Cosecherxs (eros) were able to block Trump Tower, imagine what we can accomplish with 11 million.” [Facebook photo attribution]
“Even though 24hours in NYC jail was unpleasant I felt incredibly lucky to have the support of this crew, and so thankful for all the support we had on the outside. Special thanks to Catalina Adorno for legal coordination, Nataly Castaño Vélez for calling and reassuring my parents that everything was fine, Roberto Juarez for picking up your phone at all hours, Carlos Saavedra Diaz for excellent police liaisoning, Vera Parra for being an incredible media coordinator, and to Fhatima Paulino for sending love and guidance from afar and for managing our social media media accounts while we were locked up, and to so many others who worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed. ” (Always over-reaching)
“I am engaging in this civil disobedience to honor my parents’ labor. My parents are one of the most vulnerable workers in this country– they’re farm workers. We migrated from Oaxaca, Mexico to Homestead, Florida in 2005. The experience of the undocumented workers that worked on Trump Tower is parallel to the experience of my parents who work hard under the sun for a mediocre salary. Donald Trump and his supporters don’t recognize the dependency this economy has on hands of working immigrants. I am getting arrested because I know that my parents aren’t the only ones who struggle because they don’t have permanent protection, dignity, and respect. I want to send a message to our community: we will not stand with Trump’s rhetoric of hatred and racism. His ideology is a threat to my family, to me, to 11 million people. The time is now to stand against hate and racism.”
“My parents grew up in New York City, both from Puerto Rican immigrant families. Because we are Puerto Rican my family never had to live with the fear and uncertainty of not having papers but they did have to learn to adjust to life in a different language, culture and country. Growing up in Western, MA I saw the disrespect my mom faced at her job in a doctor’s office. Everyday when she came home from work I saw the powerlessness she felt in the face of mistreatment and her inability to leave her job for fear of not getting another. This daily dehumanization wore our family down. I know this is just a tiny sliver of the injustice, disrespect and mistreatment that immigrant families face in this country every day. I’m getting arrested with Cosecha today because I want all immigrants, children of immigrants and grandchildren of immigrants to know that we don’t have stay silent and watch our families and our communities face mistreatment. We are here to demand dignity for our entire community from my mom, to the undocumented workers who build Trump Tower, to the farm workers who picked the apple I ate for breakfast this morning.”
“When I saw the headlines that Trump started his campaign by saying “When Mexico sends its people, they are not sending their best” I became upset not by Trump, but by all his supporters that came out and agreed with him. It reminded me of the story of this country. Countless times I have seen racist and xenophobic people treat my family and people like us like we are less deserving because we are immigrants and undocumented. I am getting arrested today because I want to make a statement that you cannot talk down on immigrants while benefiting from our labor. I am getting arrested so that more immigrants join Cosecha and fight against this hateful narrative and to win permanent protection, dignity and respect for immigrants in this country. I want more people to join harvest and fight with us against the anti-immigrant sentiment, so that we can get permanent protection, dignity and respect for our undocumented community.”
“Five years ago, I made a promise to myself and the immigrant community that I was going to fight for us the way they fought for me. That was the same day that the DREAM Act failed on the Senate floor. I had driven all the way down from New Jersey the night before, only to watch the votes come in against me, my community, our future. I saw everyone. The disappointment. The pain. I promised to never allow this pain to come to my community ever again. For five years, I failed to complete my promise and it has eaten at me and bothered me. Especially now. Now, we have the opportunity to start things up again, to take a step towards completing my promise. I’ve realized I’ve been trying to keep this promise by myself so I have to do something that reactivates my community so we can fight together, just like we did in 2010. So I want to tell our community: I need your help. I can’t do this alone anymore.”

“It deeply bothers me to live in a country that does not remember its own history. My family came here as Jewish Immigrants from Eastern Europe almost 100 years ago. We came looking for a better life and fleeing persecution just like the 200 undocumented Polish workers that built Trump Tower. I stand with immigrants now because it does not serve this country to have a class of exploited workers who live in perpetual insecurity. I stand with immigrants now, in this civil disobedience, because the people close to my heart can’t get arrested. During this action, I will be thinking of Sonia, an undocumented woman from Peru, who has not seen her children in 12 years. She sees me as one of her children, but it pains me to know that she can’t give her own kids a hug. On her 12th year anniversary of her leaving her country, I called her and we cried on the phone together. We cried because of how deeply we value our relationship, and I cried because I didn’t want to be her substitute child– I want her to see her own children. I want to tell the immigrant community that there’s hope, you have power, and you have allies. This country needs this movement.”
“I have been organizing immigrant workers for 5 years and I have seen the pain of not being valued because of your status. I’ve seen the pain of working so hard, but not getting paid. The pain of not being treated as a full person. I am engaging in this nonviolent civil disobedience to say that we will not longer accept the pain anymore. I want to show my support and love for the undocumented workers across the country. I am also doing this because of the undocumented people who are making a sacrifice by my side during this action. I want to tell the immigrant community that I will be here until the strike– we are not going anywhere. I see you– I see the sacrifices that you make, the work you do, and I want to honor you. It’s time to do something bigger than we’ve ever done before to make this country recognize that this country relies on you.”
Thaís Marques – Lives in Newark, New Jersey, From Belém, Brazil
“My parents are legal permanent residents, my brother is a citizen and I’m undocumented. I recently had my application for a green card rejected. I sent in the application a week before my 21st birthday, but United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) has the right to be discretionary about their decided that because I applied so close to my birthday I no longer qualified as a minor. Living in a country where decisions about my future are all discretionary, is suffocating. Living here without any rights is suffocating. I’m tired of feeling like I don’t have any control over my future.”
++ ++ ++ There you have it. Eight very entitled ILLEGAL migrants (and friends) . Chained. Chanting their Lies. Claiming ILLEGALS BUILT Trump Tower!
“Trump Tower was built by 200 low wage, undocumented immigrant workers. 35 years later, our people continue to work in fields, construction sites, restaurants, and other industries for less than minimum wage without any dignity or respect. Join us as we honor the undocumented workers who built this tower, but also the workers who continue to build this country.”
In fact, a union lawsuit against the contractor was for pension and welfare benefits for 200 POLISH illegals who were hired to TEAR DOWN the Bonwit Teller Department store, not the CONSTRUCTION of the Tower.
Critical COMMENT made on-line to rebut the Cosecheros :
“Built by us? Unless you helped build it with your own hands you have no right saying that. You have no right taking credit for the hard work of Americans and immigrants. Immigrants are and always have been welcome here.Shame on you for trying to equate immigrants with illegal aliens.“
++ In these two short video clips, the illegals proudly twist the narrative. VIDEO #1- I caught snippets of two press interviews.
Carlos Saavedra Diaz – speaking to NBC: “Once again, the hypocrisy of the message of anti-immigrant racism that Donald Trump has supported, while this building was itself and his hotel in D.C. has been built on the hands and the work of undocumented (aka ILLEGAL) immigrants (MIGRANTS)”
Q- What’s going on in front of the door?
” In front of the door we have people that are willing to get arrested, they’re here and in solidarity with this movement- and they’re trying to show that this (?) messaging, this (?) racist,hateful messaging you can’t send” (HUH?)
Q: What do you hope to accomplish then.
“We’re hoping to accomplish, to recognize the labor of “undocumented immigrants” that it took to build this country. Took to build Trump’s Tower which is called the most important project in the world and what it took to build his hotel in D.C.”
Q: (chanting begins again)
“Undocumented workers” have always been misrepresented. We don’t have enough voices (very loudchanting)
Young female (unidentified) gave some of the correct historical background re the demolition of Bonwit Teller (before construction)
“Donald Trump is a hypocrite because he (has used) hate rhetoric against immigrants while (pointing skyward) this tower, before it was built, was demolished by over 200 “undocumented” Polish workers 35 years ago…”
In VIDEO #2, illegal protestor, Tais Marques, spoke while chained at the Tower Doors.
Thaís Marques(Cosecha protestor while chained to door) ” My name is Thaís Marques. I am “undocumented”. I am a daughter of legal, permanent residents. My brother is a U.S. citizen. I am here today to honor the 200 “undocumented” workers who worked on the tower and the 11 million (where do they get these numbers?) “undocumented” who built this. This country DEPENDS on US. (unclear) This country, this economy would FALL. This country depends on us.”
++So. Yes. It was a Peaceful Protest. The “Cosecha EIGHT” (the 4 chained and 2 each foot-blocking the revolving doors) calmly executed their plan. NO one was getting IN or OUT of the doors (for about an hour). But, the NYPD’s plan was tight, as well: To clear the entrance – from all sides – making it difficult to get good pictures due to the ‘crowd cover’ of police bodies .
Monday. July 18, 2016. 5 pm.
As the Republican National Convention gathered in Cleveland, a misguided (and deluded) gay protest hit the sidewalks outside NYC’s Trump Towers (again)
This is their Face Book Manifesto:
However, a summer downpour, just before 5 pm, kept the sidewalks protest-bare (briefly)
It did not keep them or the press away for long. The protestors soon arrived, marching towards us from the south. However, Trump Towers and the NYPD had decided there would be NO sidewalk marchers obstructing the entrance to Trump Tower.
A few took their banners inside the holding pens. But, clearly, Trump Towers had enough of the sidewalk crunch.
This time the sidewalk circle-of-signs gathered on the west-side of Fifth Avenue. It was Prada’s turn to deal with the mess. Round and round they go.
As long as you keep moving, in the city, you are NOT “blocking” the sidewalk.
Tell that to the pedestrians who had to weave their way ’round the umbrellas, bodies and signs of this protest.
As for the protest main theme: STOP THE GUNS. STOP THE HATE.
That and a few other catchy one-note memes are their metier.
SO is their P.C. naivete.
The boogie-man must be TRUMP and those evil Repubs.
No awakening – no epiphanies regarding the Islamic Jihadis who murder GAYS, Christians, Jews and Infidels world-wide.
NOPE. Does NOT compute (hands to ears- lalalala)They insist – It’s Guns that kill. (Not people)Well, not some people. Their “factoids” insist the GOP and the NRA, are more ‘evil’ than Satan …..
And NOW (oh, horrors) “The Donald” is the Republican Presidential Candidate.
As we move-on to the Demon-Crat Convention and the Hildabeast’s coronation, many of these protestors were/are avid Berni-files (some might even be die-hard Elizabeth Warren apostles)
Will we hear any squeaks or squawks re “Hilda” as they become unwilling “Clintonistas”?
YES! It is happening. Even now. In Philly. With her history, how can it not.
(Check out the documentary, “Clinton Cash”)
Even so, the Clintonistas insist: We have NOTHING to FEAR – NO One – Except “The Donald”, the GOP and the NRA. G.A.G has spoken!
These foolish protestors fear brave Americans like Pamela Geller who spoke at the RNC / LGBT event in Cleveland.
And Peter Thiel, an early investor in Facebook and a co-founder of PayPal, who announced onstage at the Republican National Convention that he is gay. To the LGBT – G.A.G. protestors Theil is a turncoat.
“Every American has a unique identity. I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all, I am proud to be an American,” Thiel said, to applause.
G-d save us ALL from the misguided ignorati of the Gay Lobby. (PLEASE)
PHILADELPHIA, HERE THEY COME.

++ Concluding with a slide show of pictures from the protest++
Thursday – Dec 10, 2015 – #HumanRightsDay NYC . “Stand in Solidarity with Iraqi and Syrian Refugees” – Columbus Circle
Lurking in the background, COMMUNIST and PROUD, the white and mostly Jewish Communist/Soc/Prog facilitators …
From Daniel Greenfield: ‘The Left’s Muslim Replacement Theology for Jews . Muslims are the new Jews; time to get rid of the old Jews.‘
As I arrived – agitprop – screeds – chants – droned on and on to the ubiquitous beat of a drum
It was United Nations “Human Rights Day” held under the statue of that “racist, murdering Christoforo Columbo.
Even Obama was getting slammed by some in the crowd, “Trump Slanders Muslims, Obama Bombs Them”
Their voices rang loud and clear through-out the noisy traffic circle: “Dump Trump “,”There is no Debate, Trump Equals Hate”,”Say it Loud, Say it Clear, Refugees Are Welcome Here”,”From Mexico to Palestine, Border Walls Are A Crime”, etc, ad nauseum.
I spotted almost immediately, one protestor’s sign (Keep Syrians Out) peering confidently above the crowd
Part 1 video – chants as the event was beginning –
More than one angry young woman, mostly Muslimas, indicted the United States as imperialist and racist . The signs below suggests, “Will Trade Refugees For Racists” and “Grief has no Borders”.
,
Another sign held by a Muslima, welcomes us all to the Fourth Reich.
Sign after sign carried on about that “Racist Donald Trump”, Wall Street (and Donald Trump), Migrant workers (and Donald Trump) and the Central Park Five – with a picture of Donald Trump– (whatever)
For an hour and a half this crowd chanted while laughing and making merry, I guess, about the virtues of atheistic Communism. Even so, one Christian Leftie (she seemed to be a Pastor of some sort) managed to carry a pithy Bible sign.
” Mirna Haidar, lead organizer at the Arab American Association of New York, claimed that anti-Muslim comments like Trump’s are about far more than words.
“It’s violence,” argued Haidar (speaking above) a refugee from Lebanon who came to the United States in 2010.
Haidar says she’s frightened by the recent political climate, combined with the rise in hate crimes targeting Muslims … Little did I know that here, I will face fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and arabophobia“
“The Most Dangerous Terrorist groups in the USA are the Republicans and Democrats”? But…what about the Isis. Daesh. The Muslim Brotherhood. Al Qaeda!! ” FREEDOM FROM FEAR” proclaims the signs.
Other signs: “Can You Hear the Beating Heart of every Refugee” and “The Jewish Community is United Against Fascism”
While ” on the pedestal-turned-stage, seasoned Syrian activist Hamid Imam led the crowd in chants (“Dump Trump” and “Donald Trump, Listen Here. Refugees are Welcome Here”) He gave an impassioned speech calling for the dismantling of both ISIS and the Assad regime. “The only way to end the suffering is to end the war,” urged Imam, a refugee from ar-Raqqah who now studies social work at Rutgers.”
PART 2 video : [please note at 00:43 and 2:32 the counter protestor holding up a sign “Keep Syrians Out“]
Hussam, a refugee from the besieged Syrian city of Homs who came to New Jersey four months ago, exposed the cowardly racism of the fear-mongers by describing the actual events driving millions of people from their homes. An activist in the movement against the dictator Bashar al-Assad, Hussam talked about the last protest he attended, where the regime fired live ammunition on the crowd.
“I fled the country for my children, to take them away from the killings,” he said to the crowd through a translator. “But we hope to God we will go back.” As Sarah Aziza reported for Bedford and Bowery, after that last comment, many in the crowd shouted back, “Yes, you will!”
Hosam stressed that he considered himself a victim of ISIS, and emphasized that “anyone who thinks ISIS is Islam is very wrong.Islam is a religion of peace. We greet one another by saying, ‘Peace to you.’
Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association of New York which co-sponsored the rally , spoke like she was running for office (and those in the know) have no doubt that’s where she’s headed : Elected Office.
“Hate is not going to divide us,”. “People need to be held accountable for this hate speech. These are not just words; they are words that are inspiring actual violence against innocent people who have nothing to do with these terrorist attacks happening.”
Sarsourtold Salon, in the past few weeks, as presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Ben Carson have ramped up their Islamophobic rhetoric and proposed explicitly anti-Muslim policies, there has been a rapid increase in the number of attacks and threats against Muslim Americans.
“We absolutely have to take responsibility for” the refugee crisis. Our flawed foreign policy in the Middle East has created the fertile ground for groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. We can’t act like we have nothing to do with that.”
Linda Sarsour, the safe face of a ‘moderate’ Islam. Just don’t read or listen to her racist screeds and the electorate can remain blissfully unaware . (Link to her video from multi-faith menorah lighting on Dec 12)
SARSOUR tweeted – “This country right here was built on the backs of black people and immigrants”#HRTRUMPSoppression@lsarsour
America – BAD. (The Donald VERY Bad)
They have the answers – bloviating from every sign:
Another sign : “If you stop bombing and OCCUPYING their countries, there won’t be MILLIONS of refugees…. etc”
Human Rights. The U.N. vs the U.S. Accusations of oppression by those who are the real oppressors. (Not the US) Which begs these final questions, “Who are the actual oppressors? Who is actual purveyor of racism and hatred?”
Pamela Geller asks, “Do Muslims Around the World Really Hate the United States? Yes.”
The hatred of infidels is a religious imperative in Islam. No matter how fast we dance, appease, pay, accommodate, and submit, the hatred and holy war will not cease. On the contrary, the more we submit and reward the hatred and terror, the more we will have to surrender.
SLIDE SHOW of pictures
++
NEXT post – a raucous Dump Trump Protest held the next afternoon (Friday Dec 11) at the Plaza hotel.
Slide show of the inside of Trump Towerand then outside (place mouse on picture to go to slideshow)
.
.
The lines were HUGE. From Fifth Avenue around to Madison Avenue. It would seem that Trump has the potential to inspire across America.Also, outside Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue, NY ICE was there to defend our Sovereignty against those promoting the erosion of our borders AND to thank Trump for ‘getting it’. America needs a President who will protect AMERICA. Will that be Trump. No one knows, but the debate now includes our sovereignty. Without apology!
“Even if you don’t have a favorable opinion of Trump, the adversary (aka those on the LEFT) finds him to be the face of people representing our Movement: TRUMP stands for immigration enforcement in their eyes, though, of course, his visibility on our Issue and Movement is relatively new.
He has used his celebrity status for our Issue, which… has been useful… because the media finds it hard to ignore Trump, since he has been a world of celebre for so long.”
These instructions went out to the public re Trump’s Book Signing and press conference: “Mr. Trump will only sign Crippled America. Signing line will form outside in front of Trump Tower. No memorabilia, posed photography or selfies.
Pictures may be taken from the line before reaching the signing table. Upon approaching the table, picture taking devices must be put away. Event guidelines are subject to change.”
Eventpage. And more on the Trump Book Signing.
Next- Slide show outside of Trump Tower – (place mouse on picture to go to slideshow)
There were only a few passersby who supported illegal trespassing, like France 24. Such media went trolling for answers with questions that dripped with disdain for Americans who support the Rule of Law. BTW- This event was just 10 days BEFORE the terrorists attacked Paris on November 13. (what a difference a few days did make)
Four Short videos outside and inside Trump Tower
Found only a few PRESS reports (considering there was a lot of press on-the-scene) Follow link to France 24 article. (NY ICE is in video report below).
An obviously biased report. She keeps saying “slim” book of a little under 200 pages, as if that has anything to do with it. And she mentions the petition against Trump’s appearance on SNL. (Can’t be too surprised. They’re French.) I managed to capture a moment when Marzullo (NY-ICE) told them to “fight for their country”. It’s almost unbelievable that this was before the Paris murders. No surprises here, when it comes to what the chose to publish, the French never used ANY of the NY ICE interview.
As for the interviewer, her card says: Marie Bourreau, “Journaliste” (France 24) Googling her comes up in French, but translations reveal her to be predictably a Leftist Reporter.
After Bourreau’s NY ICE interview, the woman being interviewed next by France 24 said that “NY ICE represents the worst of America“. You could tell from Bourreau’s questions that this passerby supported their agenda. NOT NY ICE.
Europe 1,also French, was amongst quite a few others (like Telemondo, Fox News, CNN, NY 1, ABC News)). Some of whom interviewed and photographed NY ICE, but we were unable to find most of these reports.
“... standup comedian Jason Scoop, 24, displayed a “Trump 2016” tattoo on his forearm, which he said was real, a permanent reminder of a presidential campaign he earlier expected to last a week. “When I got the tattoo it was a joke,” said Scoop. “He’s kind of grown on me.” When Scoop reached Trump’s table and showed the mogul his tattoo, Trump stood up and led him to the cameras. “This is what I call a real fan,” Trump told reporters.”
All Colours. Ages. Types. Languages. The crowds were buoyant and chatty (as was “The Donald”) Fun for all in spite of the long wait.
Trump has the potential to inspire and offer hope again to the masses across America. But, the machine- Prog-Central- is At War With America. Are we strong enough to stop their steam-roller? Or will the Great American Experiment be ended all too soon?
