Marxist Pacifists disparage 77th & 76th Anniv. of Japan A-Bombs that ended WW2

In 2021-22, the Marxists seemed to be the only ones to remember, though imperfectly, the A-Bombs of 1945. Their one  goal at these protests is  abolishing nuclear weapons.

 ++ Was dropping the atomic bomb justified?++

Dec. 7, 1941 (a day that would live in infamy) to Aug 6-9, 1945 (VJ Day celebrations in Times Sq). BUT, the Japanese aggression is conveniently omitted.

: Gen. Minoru Genda, who helped plan the attack on Pearl Harbor, stated at a Naval Institute event in 1969 that he was not bitter towards the U.S. for dropping the bomb on his hometown of #Hiroshima. He said “if we had the atomic bomb in 1945, we would have dropped it on you.”

The only ‘take away’ for these dedicated Marxist Pacifists is to STOP all things nuclear, demanding NYC to be a Nuclear Free Zone. SO, every August these mostly senior pacifists gather to protest nuclear weapons (AND energy).

Japanese survivors participate – but the speakers both years, were barely amplified so they were difficult to understand.

FIRST: On Aug 6, 2021, at 11 am, the 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki protestors gathered in the courtyard entrance to Mayor Dinkins municipal building across from City Hall.

”Join the Community of NYC Nuclear Weapons Free Heroes”

Rise and Resist-NY” Marxists demanded that NY City Council Speaker Corey Johnson pass Nuclear Disarmament Legislation Now. They chose this location because the development of the atomic bomb began across Centre street at 270 Broadway, the first headquarters of the Manhattan Project in 1942–43.

The posters focused on the American Marxist pacifists. Their speeches and posters neglected to mention the Japanese civilians victimized by their own Japanese war machine.

aug 6 dinkins

Video – First fellow was reading the legislation demand from his cell phone, un-amplified so audio competed with traffic.

The second was an older fellow (at 1:35) proudly told of a protest at a nuclear submarine (the USS Florida). I didn’t hear a year but I think it was 2018.

The Kings Bay Plowshares Seven. The seven Catholic plowshare activists who disarmed weapons at the Kings Bay Naval Base, Georgia in 2018  are now facing years of prison for their act of disarmament. 

He said he masqueraded as one of 4 workers with hard hats who boarded the submarine …  for 25-30 minutes. Once they unfurled their protest banners, THEN security was called to remove them.  He also said, at the same time, five other protestors with hammers were damaging (a sonar sphere) and mentioned an associate who travels with a smithy  … turning weapons into plowshares; hammered into weapons of soil to create life not take life. “This is how disarmament starts”, he says. [End Video]

Turning now to the 2022 and the 77th Anniversary in Manhattan and  their nuclear anniversary weapons protest.  

Aug. 5, 2022 – Outside the Japanese consulate. NYC. This year there was such an obsession with MASKING that the muffled English language interpreter was wasted. Disappointed to not get a good audio  of the survivor speakers

Video 1 –The very Left -leaning Pacifist “Raging Grannies” were the pre-speakers ‘entertainment’ outside the NYC Japanese Consulate. Mourning the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 (that ended WW2 and saved lives) the Raging Grannies (for Peace) were protesting nuclear bombs and protesting nuclear energy with “No nukes. No Nukes. No Nukes.

Video 2 – Ringing a  bell for peace & prayer at 77th Anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki.

[NY Daily News Hiroshima]

The conflict over ”to be nuclear or not” goes on and on. The Marxists  claim to oppose anything nuclear but they are predictably inconsistent …. a Rise and Resist-NY blind spot: a nuclear IRAN (UANI 2017)

Should we expect they will hop-a-boat to the land of Persia and vandalize their nuclear bases? How far would they get with that protest action.

 The real enemies of peace go unchallenged.
It’s the Communist Way : Confuse. Divide. Conquer.

Rise and Resist Marxists Demand: Kill The Filibuster (for now)

June 10, 2021 NY Public Library.  Fifth Ave and 42 st.
NYC Communists took  to the steps of the main library to
Defend Democracy. Kill the Filibuster.Protect Voting Rights

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-N.Y) well-known Democrat Socialist,  has slammed Sen. Sinema (D-Ariz) for opposing Kill the Filibuster.

“The filibuster, is a longstanding Senate tradition requiring 60 votes in the 100-member chamber to advance a bill, effectively allows the minority party to block certain legislation.”

The “Progressives” claim Killing The Filibuster is necessary to STOP the Republicans, who only care about power and MONEY.

Rise and Resist – NY Marxists gathered to rant and chant against the supposed disenfranchisement of people of color.

Eliminate the filibuster? Both Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) emphatically say no. Both say the filibuster is key to making bipartisanship possible, and bipartisanship is the linchpin to a functioning Senate and democracy.” 

Eliminate the filibuster? Both Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) emphatically say no. Both say the filibuster is key to making bipartisanship possible, and bipartisanship is the linchpin to a functioning Senate and democracy.” 

Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Krysten Sinema angered the Marxists so much that NO EXPENSE was spared creating two life-sized card-board type models.

The chant leader, Jay Walker of LGBTQ & Gays against Guns, marched back and forth  never giving a glance towards a black heckler who seemed to be challenging the Rise/Resisters. (I was never was totally sure who she was with since she was difficult to understand.) What I heard her say: “Joe Biden is a Democrat. White Republicans. Justice, Justice. We The People” and my personal favorite, “THE PLAGUE. THE PLAGUE !”

Presuming she wasn’t WITH them, they wisely handled her with good nature.

 Video Part 1 CHANTS. Jay Walker lead the chants: “When voting rights are under attack, whatta we do, stand up, fight back; Voting Rights are Civil Rights; Voting is a Right, Not Just for the Rich and White; Same Day Registration; End purges of Voter Rolls”

.Video Part 2 HECKLER cancelled out most of what Jay Walker was shouting to the crowd on the steps. But I did hear him say: “End Voter Suppression; Get money out of politics; on-line voter registration; same day registration; get … money out of politics!” WHILE she heckled with “Joe Biden is a Democrat. White Republicans. Justice, Justice, We The People” and “THE PLAGUE. THE PLAGUE !”

Until the Democrats control the votes in the Senate they will no longer be enamored of the filibuster (even though the Dems used filibuster 327 times compared to only once by the GOP in 2020). However, with the current  50/50 split, they now claim the filibuster to be a tool that ONLY the Repubs will use to shut down ‘comity‘.

Mazie Hirono, reacting to Kyrsten Sinema’s op-ed opposing reducing the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold, said Dem priorities will be stymied. “So if we don’t make the changes to the filibuster, then I think we are going to look at losing the House and Senate, anyway,” Hirono said.

Even if Kill the Filibuster is achieved, I doubt the Democrats would let its demise be permanent. As long as there is a minority party that could muck up the Dems lofty plans, the filibuster will surely RISE again.

Meanwhile, in 2021, Sen. Sinema has said, in SUPPORT of the filibuster:

“When you have a system that is not working effectively — and I would think that most would agree that the Senate is not a particularly well-oiled machine,” Sinema said. “The way to fix that is to fix your behavior, not to eliminate the rules or change the rules, but to change the behavior.”

But WaPo has said of the stalemate:

The Senate Republicans have shown no sign they are about to change their behavior. When it comes to the key issues facing the country — from saving democracy to tax reform to climate change — it will take a rules change: eliminating or at least modifying the filibuster to put the burden on the minority instead of the majority, to give at least a spur to cooperation.” (Wa Po)

 There is ONLY ONE Solution: For a “fair and equitable” future,
… we must listen to our Socialist/Progressive ‘leaders’ …They WARN: “The filibuster is undemocratic … and dangerous!

March For Black WomXn (BLM) Times Square


Their poster-girl sure looks like Marxist, Angela Davis.

Video “March for Black WomXn” Part 1 – July 26, 2020. As everyone gathered in Duffy Square, a Times Square Alliance officer closed off the Red Steps (a usual occurrence to control protests)

The MEN of the Black WomXn March argued with the officer. (are these feminists too dainty to take up the fight?)

 The MEN demanded the protest be allowed in front of the steps (by default, the statue of Fr. Duffy) The guard did NOT relent.

 The black women OCCUPIED the location in front of the steps, anyway. The “ladies” of  BLM did as they pleased.

Video “March For Black WomXn” Part 2  –  Excerpts of some of the speakers (one claims Black WomXn are at the “back of the line”) and makes a bogus claim that everyone standing in Times Square , “Is standing on STOLEN land.

Video “March For Black WomXn” Part 3 – A few more short excerpts from the “The March for Black WomXn” speakers and their BLM Marxist agitprop.

One speaker upbraids black men for not supporting Black WomXn.

Another was a self-proclaimed, black queer woman and a Democrat Socialist. “We are going to take care of those most in need and those most oppressed.”

Kristin For Harlem is running for office.

Kristin for Harlem said “We must ABOLISH the NYPD!

Slide Show – March for Black WomXn – Duffy Sq – Part 1
Before they marched, the Black WomXn of the BLM Marxist movement gathered in Duffy Sq; joined by plenty of WHITE faces also hating on America.

Re the “intersectional” claims:”Traditional feminist ideas and anti-racist policies exclude black women because they face overlapping discrimination unique to them.”

Slide show – March for Black WomXn Duffy Sq -Part 2 A Times Square Alliance officer closed off the Red Steps and the MEN of the Black WomXn March argued with this officer.

steps 3

The Black Lives Matter Marxist movement has many groups under its umbrella, such as the March of the Black Women that serve mainly as recruitment tools.  Their purpose: protest and riot. They should be exposed as anarchists.

Since, “BLM has been around for over 5 years, and has raised close to a BILLION dollars,” How many lives have they made better?

Have they:
-Sent black kids to college?
-cleaned up a community?
-Betteed our schools?
-Fed the hungry?

Nope, they protest and riot. (That’s all) As their movement to destroy our country  continues to grows larger.

Patriots FIGHT BACK after Mayor “Red Bill” Defaces Fifth Ave with BLM Graffiti

July 25, 2020. As cities burn across America, Portland in particular, the Mayor of New York City, “Red Bill” deBlasio, claims his city’s crime rate is down, all while “Defunding the Police”. (AP/Noah Berger)

Fact: Murder rates sore as New York City slides into economic ruin.

Some good news, the filth at Occupy City Hall was cleared out on July 22.

(William Farrington)
[Great video of the NYPD in action at Occupy City Hall here]

Meanwhile, Mayor deBlasio’s graffiti ‘murals’, promoting the Marxist Black Lives Matter insurgents, were snuck in across the city; one in each of the five boroughs.
The most important of these “murals” can be found ON Fifth avenue at Trump Tower.

On Thursday, July 9, 2020,the BLM graffiti mural was painted on Fifth Avenue, with great fanfare.  [NBC News]

NYC Paints Huge Black Lives Matter Mural on 5th Ave in Front of Trump Tower

Kept under wraps, there was little time for protestors to gather at the Trump Tower debut.

WNBC first reported the new start date for the Trump Tower “mural” Wednesday night.” [NY Daily News]

I saw their ‘handiwork’ later that day. [Slide Show BLM Trump Tower]

IMG_4715

Reaction from the President to de Blasios’s folly:

“Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street,” Trump went on. “Spend this money fighting crime instead!”

De Blasio pushed back later that morning, tweeting, “The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism.”

“Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation,” the mayor added. “Your “luxury” came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them.” [NY Post]

And then, the Battle of the Graffiti Murals began.  On Monday, July 13, outside Trump Tower, the resistance dumped red paint on the BLM graffiti mural.

Police said the assailant who vandalized the massive message Monday walked up Fifth Avenue at 12:13 p.m. wearing a black shirt and a black hat, dumped the paint, then ran down 56th Street, police said.

The blotch of paint, dumped between “Black” and “Lives,” was smeared over much of the mural by passing traffic. [NY Post]

Next, on Friday, July 17th, Juliet Germonatta (a self described trans gender- with a checkered history, unfortunately) struck again: this time with BLUE paint.

Of course, each time, the mayor made sure the Red and Blue paints were erased quickly, taxpayers billed.  [Yahoo ]

There was a lull on the paint attacks, so, on Saturday, July 11, I dropped by Fifth Avenue (during a light rain) [VIDEO ]

Some reactions to the constant paint assaults:

“Maybe our GREAT police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street,” Trump went on. “Spend this money fighting crime instead!”

De Blasio pushed back later that morning, tweeting, “The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism.”

“Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation,” the mayor added. “Your “luxury” came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them.” [NY Post]

Earlier on Saturday, I took a look at the courthouse BLM graffiti mural. It seems to be a big secret, this 3 blocks long mural, only a block from the now defunct Occupy City Hall “Shanty Town”.

July 11  – Slide show for mural

This graffiti mural stretched across three Manhattan city blocks.

There is a  MAP of the locations for all five of the “Graffiti Murals”.


THEN, after a brief silence, the resistance returned to Trump Tower  Two women of color threw BLACK paint on the BLM graffiti on Saturday, July 18 . (Exciting. FUN)

Later that night (after they were released) they continued tagging with TWO more of the graffiti murals.  [MORE here] [photo NY 1]

That leaves just two remaining graffiti murals. Since the locations will be on heightened alert, will these brave women be able to pull off the next assaults?

++ FYI: BLM statement from the Marxists:

“Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to ­secure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans.The group’s radical Marxist agenda would supplant the basic building block of society — the family — with the state and destroy the economic system that has lifted more people from poverty than any other. Black lives, and all lives, would be harmed. Theirs is a blueprint for misery, not justice. It must be rejected. We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear-family-structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.” [NY Post]

Visit the Black Lives Matter website, and the first frame you get is a large crowd with fists raised and the slogan “Now We Transform.” Read the list of demands, and you get a sense of how deep a transformation of this country they seek.

Socialists’ General Strike. May Day 2020: DON’T WORK!

Tomorrow is May Day 2020. A favorite of the Communist insurgents. But, how will they manage their yearly protests since the tyrannical Governor CUOMO  has shut down our once vibrant city?

What I have managed to cull so far is a National STRIKE against WORKING and paying rent (which is an issue of import for everyone …since none but a few ESSENTIALS are allowed to earn an income)

So, for the curious, the latest info from the Socialist / Marxist left who never cease to work the proletariat towards the next uprising.

“This is the launch video for General Strike 2020. We are working to unite the working class by showing individuals the path to organization and getting those organizations working together.” genstrike.org

FYI: YOU TUBE leaves this video up. Socialism apparently does not violate their community standards.

The ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic is exposing critical flaws in the institutions we rely on for our daily lives. The wealthiest nations in the world are failing to protect citizens from this deadly disease, shamelessly neglecting the needs of the people. In the USA, too little is being done too late to protect us from the disease. Countless working poor people are having to go to work with symptoms because we can’t afford to take time off.

The federal government has been slow to respond, and the stimulus packages they have cobbled together are woefully inadequate to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.

President Trump and capitalists across the country are expressing interest in workers going back to their jobs even before the pandemic is safely dealt with, callously proving that they put their own profits ahead of the lives and well being of the working class.

This situation is, quite simply, unsustainable.

People are dying, and the wealthy elites are demonstrating that they value their profits more than our lives.

We welcome all exploited members of society: workers, the disabled, LGBTQ+, indigenous people, the neuro divergent, the mentally ill, and anyone else who is suffering without adequate relief through this pandemic.”  genstrike.org 

Our rallying cry: “DO NOT ACT ALONE.”

Now, on to the Rent Strike.

“…. there’s a possibility that some strikers will be evicted once New York’s moratorium is lifted in late June.

The strikers are demanding that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo cancel rent and mortgage payments for four months or the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, whichever is longer. That would be a significant escalation from the state’s current solution: a moratorium on evictions, which is set to end June 20. And it’s a recognition that the economy could remain in crisis for years.”

If the CITY doesn’t ease the TAXATION of the landlords, they will take it out on the tenants. And  who will they rent to, after these WRONGFUL evictions?

Screen-Shot-2020-04-30-at-1.09.09-PM.png

“On Monday, the strikers got a high-profile supporter: “People can’t pay,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive Democrat from the Bronx, who is co-sponsoring a national bill to cancel rent … ” [Vice]

[https://www.socialistalternative.org/2020/04/08/rent-strike-may-1-cant-pay-wont-pay/]

“In this upside down world, many workers will ask, “Why have I for decades been giving the landlord half my paycheck every week? It’s almost feudal.” This is capitalism in the twenty-first century.

We need a nationwide rent strike on May 1 not only to take urgent action in this crisis, but also to build the fight for a socialist world.”

  • Can’t pay! Won’t pay! For a nationwide mass rent strike on May 1
  • A complete national moratorium on all evictions and foreclosure proceedings nationally
  • End all rent and mortgage payments during the crisis
  • No rent increases during 2020!
  • Support Sanders call to pay all laid off workers their full wages
  • All workers without paid work should be eligible for monthly federal payments equivalent to a living wage of $15 an hour or $600 per week.
  • Bring the properties of the top 50 corporate landlords into democratic public ownership
  • For a massive national program to build publicly-owned, high quality social housing as part of the country’s reconstruction plan

[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/m7qme3/new-york-city-tenants-want-the-state-to-cancel-their-rent-so-theyre-going-on-strike]

“We are working to unite workers from across the USA and around the world to stand up and fight for our own lives—from the safety of our own homes.

General Strike 2020 is calling for all workers to remain sheltered in place in accordance with current medical guidance. Additionally, we are calling for workers to participate in nationwide strikes: rent strikes, debt strikes, and labor strikes.”

We are also asking participants to hang white sheets or towels outside of their homes as a sign of solidarity.

… we are asking you to organize, participate in, and support rent strikes, tenants’ unions, and movements for a rent freeze in your local community and beyond. United in solidarity, we’ll show the elite class, landlords, and real estate developers that we will not accept the devastation of our communities in the name of short-term profit.

The insanity. The chaos. This meltdown of our city – is music to the Marxist/Socialist ears.

“…. hang white sheets or towels outside of their homes as a sign of solidarity ….”

Guess we’ll know who the Socialist/Marxist tools are.

“Womens Strike” NYC on International Women’s Day 2020

March 12-13, 2020 : The China Virus has finally given the Demo-Nazi City /State governments the opportunity to go mad across the country. Making this post on Womens’ Rights an after-thought; looking back, perhaps, on ‘better times”.

 Flash forward, the Demo-Nazis shut the economy (country) DOWN. State by State. TDS rules the media-hype regarding the China Virus resulting in businesses going under. Rents can’t be paid. Employees laid off.  Isolation. Depression. Recovery, not possible unless … with Nov 8th on the horizon … THEY HAVE A PLAN.

 The Demo-Nazis are aquiver with doomsday excitement. (That says it all)

MEANWHILE, on March 8, 2020:

International Women’s Day 2020
WHAT are they striking against
The Patriarchy?

Never heard of this SOCIALIST Holiday (originally called National Woman’s Day) with a history dating back 108 years — working its way across the continents to be GLOBAL. (SPANISH appears to be the Voice of the Women 2020)

“Ni una menos” defines itself as a “collective scream against machista violence”.

Oblivious to the illegal migrants and their rapes and murders: “This is your daily reminder that New York City released an illegal alien charged with the rape of a 13 year old girl . Their Sanctuary City policy kept him from being turned over to ICE. This is exactly what Trump was elected to fix RT if NYC should be defunded over this! Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 (2020)

“The first glimpse of this feminist movement was in 1909, That’s when the Socialist Party of America celebrated 15,000 women who protested long work hours, low pay, and the lack of voting rights in New York City.”

“The Rapist is YOU” (Chilean Rape Chant)

“March 8th- This historical day celebrates the achievements of women all across the world… typically a day for women from all different backgrounds and cultures to band together to fight for gender parity and women’s rights. The special 2020 theme, #EachforEqual, drawing on the notion of “collective individualism.”  (there’s even a POSE)

International Women’s Day became an official holiday in Russia in 1913. On March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the former Russian calendar), tens of thousands of Russian women took to the streets demanding change.

In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day, and, in 1996, began to adopt an annual theme for every year.

As for the United States, International Women’s Day isn’t recognized as an official holiday, although it’s been proposed“. [Good Housekeeping]

This is what I stayed for:

Barely Informed with Elad grabbed some fun interviews with the Socialist protestors revealing their usual mental blocks regarding the patriarchy and anti-Semite, Linda Sarsour.

Why does this  Rape Chant appeal to the American press and American Socialists? Nothing to do with American Women.

For The Curious:  The song and accompanying dance takes on the patriarchy as the cause both of violence against women and the victim shaming that often comes after. “Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba, ni cómo vestía,” they sang (“and the fault wasn’t mine, not where I was, not how I dressed”).

Un violador en tu camino” (“A rapist in your way”).

“Join millions of participants by wearing purple on March 8. Signifiying justice and dignity, the color purple has become an international symbol for women since the origination of purple, green, and white as a symbol of women’s equality from the Women’s Social and Political Union in the UK in 1908. (Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolises hope. White represents purity, but is no longer used due to ‘purity’ being a controversial concept.)”

“Don’t Extradite Assange!” Global Protest by NYC Marxists

Global Protest –Feb. 24, 2020- NYC
Don’t Extradite Assange!”

Julian Assange  founder of WikiLeaks
Hosted by NYC Free Assange and Big Apple Coffee Party

Big Apple Coffee Party; Veterans for Peace; Glen Ford, Executive Director, Black Agenda Report; Joel Kupferman, Director Environmental Justice Initiative; Haiti Liberté; Manhattan Green Party; Socialist Action; Margaret Kimberley, Editor of Black Agenda Report; Courage Foundation; Freedom Socialist Party; Cuba Si; Rev. Juan Carlos Ruiz, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church; Larry Hamm, activist.

Join us in the worldwide Global Protest.
Join us in solidarity with NYC Free Assange

The potential chilling effect on journalists, and others, who expose official wrongdoing by publishing information disclosed to them by credible sources, could have a profound impact on the public’s right-to-know what their government is up to.

Video – Part 1 – as the protestors were setting up microphone and banners outside the British Consulate

Video Part 2- Margaret Kunstler, civil rights lawyer and co-editor of “In Defense of Julian Assange“.

Margaret Ratner Kunstler  … in 2015 and 2016, helped Assange plan his legal strategy and arrange media appearances … a 2017 direct message from Assange’s Twitter account to Donald Trump Jr., identified Kunstler as a person to contact at WikiLeaks … this has caused consternation in the left-wing legal community. Her long-time friends and associates find it unthinkable that an activist and stalwart in the civil rights bar might have aided the Trump campaign or administration, even inadvertently.” [Japan Times] Seems that isn’t of concern any more.

Lawyers for the U.S. government are seeking Assange’s extradition to the United States, where he faces 18 charges; his specific criminal actions related to the release of hundreds of thousands of top-secret U.S. diplomatic cables and documents in 2010 and 2011.

Assange’s lawyer said he was the obvious symbol of all that Trump condemned… He brought American war crimes to the world. [LA Times]

Lawyers acting for the U.S. government said Assange was guilty of “pure criminality” and cannot hide behind the guise of journalist.

His actions — hacking into a U.S. Department of Justice computer system with U.S. Army intelligence analyst Bradley (Chelsea) Manning and knowingly putting people at risk of torture and death by releasing thousands of classified documents that revealed the identities of sources helping the U.S. and its allies during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; this is an ordinary criminal charge.

Journalism is not an excuse for criminality.

 Manning was convicted by court-martial under the Espionage Act and spent several years behind bars, but Assange has never faced trial. [LA Times]

BTW, at this Global Protest,
WHY: “FREE ‘Chelsea’ Manning?
Obama freed him in 2017.

Manning downloaded more than 700,000 classified documents from US military servers and passed them to WikiLeaks. [The Guardian 2013]

Manning said he attempted to contact the New York Times, and spoke to a Washington Post reporter during this period, but neither newspaper was quick to respond. So, he gave the information to WikiLeaks which went on to partner with news organizations, including the Guardian ,to share the leaked information. [NPR] [The Guardian 2017]

(Manning’s crime of espionage) was the largest compromise of classified information in the history of the United States.The names of human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders and dissidents were left unredacted in some of the material which, the prosecution argues, put them and their families at serious risk of being harmed by the oppressive governments they lived under. [LA Times]

The extradition hearing (for Assange) will continue for a week and then be placed on hold until May 18, 2020, so both sides can gather more evidence before a further three-week hearing.” [LA Times]

Meanwhile, weekly Free Assange protests at Grand Central
beginning Feb 27, 2020 at 4:30 pm

Leftists demand #No Business With ICE : Dignity Not Detention (for illegals)

#NoBusinessWithICE: Action for Dignity Not Detention

On February 16, Marxist protestors held an all out march and direct action targeting a company (Thompson Reuters) that they claim profits at the expense of (illegal) immigrant lives.

“We DEMAND that private companies stop being complicit in the horrific violence against immigrant communities.”

“We DEMAND that private companies cancel all contracts with ICE and withdraw all support that allows the violent institution (ICE) to continue to carry out its bloody mission.”

“At the end of the day, private companies provide facilities, transportation, tech, research, and myriad other forms of support to this violent institution (ICE) almost completely under the radar.”
[Face Book]

So, once again the Marxists assembled on the steps of the famous NYC Public Library at Fifth Ave and 42nd Street; preaching to the passersby of the horrible treatment immigrant families (ILLEGALS) suffer under the racist TRUMP administration.

About an hour after I arrived, having taken a grab bag of photos criticizing Trump and company, I lost interest. (They do repeat themselves) Also, the speakers were boring, accented, and difficult to understand. Ad nauseum indictments of racist Republicans and greedy CEOs.

In the short video below, one speaker mentions COMMUNIST “freedom fighter”, Assata Olugbala Shakur . They honored her by repeating a chant she is known for:

Decided to forego the interminable wait for the march …. to a secret location … It’s a corporation, that we knew, but they with held the “who or where”. We had to wait. Wish I’d hung in since the march was a short hop to 42nd and 7th ave., where they proceeded to lock-down a major intersection.

[TWITTER Rise and Resist]

Caught a few tweets and articles on the “shut the city down” maneuver (like that street action would get a response from Reuters.)[https://twitter.com/i/status/1229508038358454274]

[MSN.com] About 200 protesters marched from the New York Public Library to the headquarters of Thompson Reuters in Times Square on Sunday evening.

[WPIX 11] “The system of detention and deportation in the US would not be able to function without the cooperation with corporations,” said organizer Andy Ratto.

Next, for those activists who want to give sanctuary to illegals, a pledge:
Take the No Business With ICE Pledge [Face Book]

As ICE continues to target immigrant communities across the country, we must take action against the cities, schools, and corporations that do business with ICE. Every day, ICE depends on and receives support from mayors, local police departments, private tech companies, airlines, hospitals, and more to separate immigrant families. We say enough is enough. If you do business with ICE, then we won’t do business with you.

List of Corporations – that are to be harassed and shut down – because they have contracts and agreements with ICE – top 15

Note: if you choose to target a company, it is best not to demonize the workers, but rather demonize the CEO or the corporation itself. You will win more public support this way. [https://www.lahuelga.com]

”Our officers will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities,” David Jennings, ICE field officer director in San Francisco, said in a statement. ICE stated that California’s law does not supersede federal law and ”will not govern the conduct of federal officers to make arrests of removable alien inside the United States. [Sacramento CBS]

Thank you, President Trump!

Soc/Commie New Yorkers Say #NoWarWithIran – Jan 9, 2020

January 9, 2020. 5 p.m, Columbus Circle (and 6 pm Foley Square). The anti-war “majority” in this country made last minute plans to “get visible” to oppose “Trump’s War” and say #NoWarWithIran. “We will not be forced into another war”.

 At 5 pm: “We will protest outside of Columbus Circle and make our way through the streets and to Trump Tower. Do not miss an opportunity to change the course of history. New York says #NoWarWithIran!”

But, having two locations and two start times, was confusing. The Columbus Circle location had a lame turn out …

So, at 5:15, a few of us headed down to Foley Sq. instead. where

“Iranian-Americans, Muslims, and communities of color stand against endless wars, going to war with Iran, sanctions and the dehumanization of our communities.

Some claimed the turnout to be around 1500-2000. It was a large gathering but perhaps not 2000.

” In the wake of the Trump administration’s reckless assassination of Iranian General Soleimani, and threats to escalate conflict, activists will urge restraint and that the United States avoid yet another unnecessary, costly war of choice in the Middle East.” Foley Square hosted by Faiza N. Ali and Manijeh Nasrabadi.

PLAYLIST- 8 short videos (Sarsour is 8 in the queue)

Speakers included:
Saara Azadi, Raha Iranian Feminist Collective – Co-MC
Murad Awawdeh, NY Immigration Coalition – Co-MC

Bitta Mostofi, Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
Manijeh Nasrabadi, Raha Iranian Feminist Collective
Zach Henson, Veterans Against the War
Public Advocate, Jumaane Williams
Linda Sarsour, MPower Change:

This is part of nationwide events organized by Move On, Win Without War and NIAC. Each city has local organizers taking the mantle : nowarwithiran.org

We demand no war with Iran.
We demand de-escalation.
We demand peace.
#NoWarWithIran


But, what is REALLY happening in the streets of IRAN. It’s NOT what the Soc/Commies “Working Families” pretend. The People of Iran are saying otherwise. Why do the anarchists refuse to see the suffering caused by the Soleimanis and Imans?

Iranian security forces fired live rounds and tear gas at protesters angry at the regime’s denying it shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, according to newly released video that appears to show blood trails and people fleeing the violence. [NY Post]

“What began as vigils for the students killed when Iran’s Revolutionary Guard mistakenly shot down an airliner turned into large anti-government protests Saturday, with thousands of students chanting “Death to Liars!” and calling for the resignation of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “F–k you & your mistake!”[NY Post]

Vigils erupted into anti-government protests at Iranian universities. The women of Iran are not THANKFUL to be forced into hijabs and burkas, as this Olympian defector bravely states on Jan 12,2020:

“I wore whatever they told me and repeated whatever they ordered. Every sentence they ordered I repeated,” she wrote, angry at being ordered to wear the mandatory hijab headscarf.“None of us matter for them, we are just tools.” [NY Post]

Unfortunately, the IMAGINE feminist-fools think they know best. They can IMAGINE Peace:

No More War 2020. Raha Iranian Feminist Collective is a New York City-based group of Iranian and Iranian-American women working toward gender and sexual justice and opposed to militarism and imperialism. [Raha]

Imagine all the foreign powers go home, sanctions are lifted, resources flourish, and activists from Tehran to Baghdad to Washington, DC to Damascus are free to organize on our own terms for a society that recognizes and respects life, history, and possibility. [Face Book]

Linda Sarsour: CLUELESS :

“The Chicken Littles got everything wrong on Trump and Iran”

Soleimani, who was revered at home as a masterful military leader but despised internationally as a terrorist responsible for Iran’s bloody proxy wars. (WAS DEAD!)

If you went to bed early Tuesday, you were surprised to wake up Wednesday and learn that World War III has been delayed. No doubt you were also shocked that Iran blinked, oil prices were tumbling and the stock market was soaring.

Once again, the Chicken Little chorus got everything all wrong. The sky isn’t falling and Donald Trump pulled off a huge victory. Oh, and he’s still president. [Michael Goodwin]

BUT, you wouldn’t know this listening to the NO WAR WITH IRAN Leftists ranting in Foley Square this night. Some of whom are active in NYC political circles. Some are Iranian. Some, Vets. And two make claims at being Fakestinians: Linda Sarsour most infamously. The Soc/Commie/Progs shilling for the Soros killing-machine.

And then, there’s Mdm. PELOSI, insisting her measure has “real teeth” because she said the War Powers Act of 1973 gives it the force of law. Claiming it is  also “a statement of the Congress of the United States”. Others say, probably more correctly, “.… Democrats are pulling off a toothless political stunt.” Yet, the MEDIA LOVES them.

Marxists Protest Pres.Trump at Madison Sq Garden vs Trump 2020 Patriots

November 2, 2019. Madison Square Garden. Marxists from Rise and Resist/Refuse Fascism continued their 5 week Trump/Pence #OutNow protests as they waited for President Trump to arrive for the UFC fight. [Face Book]

5:30 pm: The arrival of the Rise and Resist/Refuse Fascism Marxists began outside the 8th Avenue entrance to Madison Sq Garden. With banners, signs, drums and chants, they assembled and did not go unnoticed by the passersby.  … Making a mighty noise to the beat of the drums.Part 1 video Marxists:
Sunsara Taylor, “We are facing a Fascist America. We are here, in the name of humanity. At the same time, these protests are happening across this country because we are facing a Fascist America; and we are representing the interests of humanity, of a million people who do not want to live in a world turned into a nightmare by the Trump/Pence regime. We have a right; we have a responsibility …

Sunsara had to compete with a crazy street lady who hogged the scene while Taylor preached Communism; making much of what she said difficult to understand.

(the chants continued) ” Trump Pence, Out Now; New York City, Protest Tonight. (to the beat, beat, beat of a drum) Trump and Pence, Must Go; Join us. NOW. Trump Pence, Out Now.”

As they raised their orange banner “crazy woman” raced for the center, eventually becoming the cover-shot of the NY Post.
Watching the commies tolerate these unwanted attention seekers was fun, Penn Station eccentrics gyrating to the incessant drums; an added perk to the goings on as the cameras CLICKED away.

Part 2 video Marxists: (after chants) “Danger, Danger there’s a Fascist in the White House; Drive them out.”  Sunsara Taylor continues, “Donald Trump is in the White House. He’s coming to New York City, coming here to Madison Square Garden, and we are here to say, “Hell, No.” We are here to say,” NO, NO,” to White Supremacy; to Fascism; to the nightmare of the Trump/Pence regime. We are not going to be provoked. Humanity first and we are not going to be provoked by Fascists.”

Part 3 video Marxists – chants –  (lots of drums) “Puerto Rico showed us how, Trump/Pence, out now … We gotta go forward.(cheers) “… today we will take to the streets in New York; in Seattle; in Atlanta; in Chicago; in Los Angeles; in D.C. Trump/Pence Out Now. Today!”

But, “Where, oh, Where” were the Patriots? Finally, I heard.  Patriots for Trump were on the 7th Avenue side of MSG, so I switched avenues.
Had to walk under Penn Station, the side streets were closed, but once above ground I  found the Patriots holding a robust counter-protest to the few Marxists on this side.

Part 1 video Patriots (Lots of chants) “Build the Wall. Build the Wall.  God Bless, America. Let’s Vote Trump”

Part 2 video Patriots –  “USA. Vote for Trump! (Black Trump Supporter) “Our Country’s doing great with Trump in there. We got jobs coming out. China. Step back, China. We Number One. America is Number One. USA. USA.”

Part 3 video Patriots“Trump 2020 “(cheers) “Stop the coup. Stop the coup”.

Earlier, at 8th avenue, I had seen a Marxist banner with photos of so called victims ‘murdered’ by the NYPD. (Hard to stomach their hatred for our law enforcement.)

Now, on the 7th avenue side, I found the Patriots honoring this Day of Remembrance with banners and posters for those victims murdered by ILLEGALS. This excerpted video shows how important Diane Atkins’ impassioned twitter video was …. filmed live from the protest … to counter the Marxist LIES.

“... Stolen Lives Quilt, these are some of the Americans killed by ILLEGAL aliens (…) some teenagers that were chopped to death with machetes in Long Island by ILLEGALS in MS13. The Remembrance Project, ten years of advocating for the victims. (another poster) These are young men that were killed by MS13 ILLEGAL gang members. This is why we support ICE … the sovereignty of the United States of America. This is what we are talkin about…this one, a 24 year old, beautiful girl. Her ILLEGAL alien, EX-boyfriend KILLED her; stuffed her in a suitcase; left on the side of the road. Shot a two year old baby in the head. This is what we are dealing with. So, at this point … say a prayer; a moment of silence, as we remember every single innocent American who was slaughtered, brutalized, KILLED; whose lives were STOLEN by ILLEGAL aliens who were here committing heinous crimes. Many were deported, came back in, committed more crimes (deported multiple times): multiple offenders; multiple, multiple crimes.”

It seems, without any fanfare, the NYPD had cleared 8th avenue  forcing the Marxists to 7th avenue. The dual protests were growing.


Plus many more pedestrians on this side  made it difficult to get full view pictures of the patriot banners.

With both sides facing off in front of Madison Sq Garden, and the Trumpers holding strong, I headed back to 8th avenue for the last time (not knowing there was no protest on that side now).

Doing the underground crossover, I encountered Sunsara Taylor being turned away from the 8th ave exit. (Yes, the NYPD had closed it off to everyone) Apparently the President was arriving on the 8th ave. side of MSG.  Sunsara noticed my NYPD press-pass so she asked me,  “Did I know where her protest was; had I seen them?” Yep, they were on the 7th ave. side.

She then asked who I wrote for. “Independent”, said I; confessing I wasn’t ‘on her team”.  Sunsara couldn’t get away from me fast enough, knowing I wasn’t a commie. She looked like I had tased her. (fun- again)

Some media reportage that came out the next day:
[AM NY] ;  [ NY Post] ; [ CNN] ; [ NY Daily New 1]

Sunsara Taylor, a member of an organization called Refuse Fascism, told CNN she was a part of a movement made up of “diverse political perspectives” who agree that the Trump/Pence administration poses a threat to all of us. Our goal is to drive them out through mass non-violent protests.”

Communists personal characterization: “diverse political perspectives” – cue laughter-

[ NY Daily News 2 ]

President Trump pumped his fist in the air as the crowd booed and cheered him when he arrived Saturday night at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event at Madison Square Garden.Trump was invited to the event by UFC’s president, Dana White, the White House said. White is a big Trump donor. With Trump were House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.). Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr. were also in the group.

And lastly, the Flickr slide show of  both sides

.During this three year push for impeachment, the Soc/Commie Left momentum has grown. We must not sleep, patriots must gather steam as well. We, too, need to be on the streets; this is WAR.
