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

Posted on June 29, 2021 by | Leave a comment

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!“

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

Posted on April 30, 2020 by | Leave a comment

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

Posted on March 16, 2020 by | Leave a comment

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”).

[Keep arms loose at your side, march in place to the beat for the first eight verses]
El patriarcado es un juez,
Que nos juzga por nacer
Y nuestro castigo
Es la violencia que no ves.

El patriarcado es un juez,
Que nos juzga por nacer
Y nuestro castigo
Es la violencia que ya ves.

Es feminicidio
[Place hands behind the head, squat up and down]
Impunidad para el asesino
[Repeat movement above]
Es la desaparición
[Repeat movement above]
Es la violación
[Repeat movement above]

[Run in place, but without lifting feet from the ground; move forearms up and down in sync with the feet]
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba, ni cómo vestía
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba, ni cómo vestía
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba, ni cómo vestía
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba , ni cómo vestía

El violador eras tú
[Extend right arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú
[Repeat movement above]

Son los pacos
[Point left]
Los jueces
[Point right]
El estado
[Raise arms, pointing in circle around the head]
El presidente
[Cross forearms above the head]

[Move forearms up and down rhythmically, fist closed]
El estado opresor es un macho violador
El estado opresor es un macho violador

El violador eras tú
[Extend left arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú
[Repeat movement above]

[Cup hands around mouth to amplify shouting]
Duerme tranquila niña inocente,
sin preocuparte del bandolero,
que por tus sueños dulce
y sonriente vela tu amante carabinero.

El violador eres tú
[Extend right arm straight our in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú
[repeat movement above]

“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.)”

A rapist in your way (English translation)

The patriarchy is a judge
that judges us for being born
and our punishment
is the violence you don’t see.

The patriarchy is a judge
that judges us for being born
and our punishment
is the violence that have seen.

It’s femicide.
Impunity for the killer.
It’s disappearance.
It’s rape.

And the fault wasn’t mine, not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine, not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine, not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine, not where I was, not how I dressed

The rapist is you.
The rapist is you.

It’s the cops,
The judges,
The state,
The president.

The oppressive state is a rapist.
The oppressive state is a rapist.

The rapist is you
The rapist is you

“Sleep calmly, innocent girl
Without worrying about the bandit,
Over your dreams smiling and sweet,
watches your loving cop.”

The rapist is you
The rapist is you
The rapist is you
The rapist is you

“IWD is an official holiday in many countries including Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia.” [Good Housekeeping]

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

Posted on January 13, 2020 by | Leave a comment

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

Posted on November 8, 2019 by | Leave a comment

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

IMG_1180

.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.

“No Biz with Tech” as Left Marches against Amazon Corporate Greed (again)

Posted on October 26, 2019 by | Leave a comment

Oct 11. 2019. The Marxist/Socialist war against big business:“NO TECH FOR ICE!” continued as they gathered on the steps outside NYC’s famous public library (at 42nd and Fifth Ave)

“Close the Camps & End Corporate Profits from Immigrant Detention” hosted by NYC Democratic Socialists of America


AOC’s job-killing Amazon attack claimed that corporations only care about PROFITS. And since ICE is a state-sanctioned terrorist group, corporate TECH support from Amazon must END!

No Hate No Fear, Immigrants are Welcome Here!

Marxists/Socialists support the People, Open Borders and Sanctuary Cities for Illegals. Ignoring history, they only generate failure (think Venezuela, Cuba)

From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go!

Outside the library Socialists demanded an end to government collusion with ICE, profiteering (they say) from (ILLEGAL) immigrant detention.

Democrat Socialist accusations against corporate greed:

  • Salesforce contracts directly with CBP to provide custom software for hiring purposes. Through a $7.2 million annual contract, Amazon provides its Amazon Web Services to Palantir for their direct contract with ICE.Tech companies like Salesforce and Amazon provide the tools for the surveillance, detention, deportation and death of immigrants. In order to close immigrant detention camps, we must end the profit motive.”
  • The time has come for THE people to put a stop to the detention and deportation of immigrants and end the money-making that drives these policies.  It’s time to mobilize nationwide against the US’s draconian immigration policies and the corporations that profit from them! “

Video Part 1 March gathers at Main library at Fifth Ave- 42nd Street. Excerpted quotes from one speaker:

“The Democrats are partners with Trump in the attack on immigrants. (… in Jersey) counties all run by Democrats, they have the biggest concentration camps in the country (…) many of the immigrants here in liberal New York are dragged to their partners in New Jersey (…) grabbed by ICE, dragged to Newark, then sent off to the other part of the gulag in Miami (…) this happens repeatedly. We’ve got to build a movement … to march to the Democrats concentration camp, to demand its closure. Immigrants are not our enemy, it’s the billionaire class.”

Part 2 – Outside Amazon Book Store on 34th Street. Excerpted quotes from another speaker:

“Amazon … supplies facial recognition technology … they use for surveillance and  deportation of our immigrant community. It’s time for Amazon to say, “No Business with ICE.” (…) Salesforce, another company supplying tools for Border Control. (remember) they can’t deport people if the companies that profit from them no longer exist! (laughing) No TECH FOR ICE!”

The March concluded at Salesforce

Across from Bryant Park at Sixth Ave and 42nd St
Part 3  video finishes the march to Salesforce

Endorsements to END CORPORATE PROFITS partners included:
Close the Camps NYC
DRUM – Desis Rising Up & Moving
Jackson Heights Immigrant Solidarity Network

Laborers Local 79 – New York City

“NYC Democratic Socialists is a local of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the United States. NYC-DSA is run by its thousands of members and activists who are working together to build a democratic socialist organization in the five boroughs.”

“The NYC-DSA Immigrant Justice Working Group is organizing alongside local immigrant-led organizations to fight back against ICE, to expand protections and rights for (ILLEGAL) immigrants through state and local legislation, and end the corporate profiteering from immigrant labor exploitation and detentions and deportations.”

Freedom Socialists-Marxists “Against Racism and Fascism” NYC

Posted on March 29, 2019 by | Leave a comment

The Freedom Socialists (Marxist) and a March Against Racism and Fascism at noon in Foley Plaza, Saturday March 16, 2019.

There were many speakers. I recorded portions of a few.

The NYPD didn’t separate the patriots from the Marxists, still the getting too close to the speakers’ stage might not be tolerated by the soc.commie/prog/fasciti. keep moving is often the best advise.

Most of the time I hung further back where the outreach took place – they must bring more fools in to the “anti-Fascist” fold.

Ah, yes. The commies promote a police review board. Can’t wait. And familiar Marxist reading material was For Sale … as usual.

The PATRIOTS boldly flew flags and held signs in support of President Trump.

Patriots supporting our country and our President always annoys the orange arm-band anti-fascist “police”.

Our side managed to record interviews with the commies. Usually we’re chased away. (Barely Informed With Elad interviewing Jennie Heinz)


Though one tall miscreant briefly blocked Elad from his camera. [You can see the same guy in action at the top of Elad’s interview tape at 00:18 (very funny) – https://youtu.be/nh-q0uX_0Sg]

VIDEO -Walter “Hawk” Newsome – Chairman BLM NY. From the Bronx. Grew up in a devout Christian household but spewed the usual hate-speech .[https://www.blacklivesmattergreaterny.com]

TRANSCRIPT: “Shout out to everybody that’s here (names groups) I’m talkin’ about people who really show up for Black People – all the time. People who always show up for black people All the Time. Right? You wanta learn a quick lesson in racism – take a look around you – take a look around you. If this was a march for immigrants right or women’s rights, there’d people people all the way back there. When you talk about 400 years of oppression of the black woman and the black man, ain’t nobody got time for that. (crowd -they don’t wanta come) They got time for St Patrick’s day. They got time for this, they got time for that.Let me tell y’all a little joke, all right. I always bug out when I see black people for st patrick’s day, all right. Cause you got the West Indian parade in Bklyn. Right. You got the African American Day Parade in Harlem. and I don’t see Irish people showing up with Red black and green on (Blk African MARXIST COLORS) So I’m like (scoffs) who the fuck are you coonin’ for? Like cut that shit out. Stop supporting people who don’t support you. (big pause) I just had an argument with that right-wing dude that’s runnin’ around trying to …

(my video begins here)  … interview people. Right?. I love to fight with them. I’m gonna tell you true, I love to confront them. You know why? Because I went from a GED to a law degree. Right? So, I learned how to take this mind and what I ‘cummulated in the Bronx and apply it to the law and to the facts and that’s the way I challenge them. And if you put the facts of, against white supremacy they lose every time (CHEERS) (shouting) The numbers and the irrefutable lesson, the irrefutable evidence is on our side every time! (cheers) We ran around saying that police in America are racist for years! Donald Trump passes the First Step Act. Do you know the first endorser, Fraternal order of Police (boo) Pay attention. The PEOPLE who have been saying we were lying all along endorsed a bill that said racism exists in policing. Are you fucking kidding me? The facts, y’all, it’s the facts that are on our side. The facts that brown and black blood is spilled all the time and no one cares. (quieter) I talk when I talk because it’s the truth. You have candidates who run on Black Lives Matter platforms, they get elected and they don’t say Black Lives matter no more. If you think I’m lying, check their time-lines. I like Bernie. I like Bernie, right? But, you got four other candidates talking about reparations. Reparations in a real way, four other candidates. And Bernie Sanders say he’s not for it. Health care’s a problem, right a check. Any other problem, right a check. Black people …. need some sort of redress. Naw we ain’t got no money for dat. That’s bull-shit. So let’s ask this Jewish man if he was against reparations for Jewish people. (no response) I like it when people go quiet, that’s how I’d know when I’m makin’ fuckin’ sense. Cause that’s the reality that’s sinkin’ in. So, what I’m tellin’ y’all is, right now, we have to confront the racists and these fascists at every turn. They show up at our rallies. We show up ta deirs. You understand me? I don’t give a fuck. I go to Fox News. I go to a fuckin’ KKK rally. I go anywhere to stand on this truth. Fearless! (cheers) Because I’ll fight with facts and I’ll fight with my hands. And if any a y’all seen the footage in Charlottesville, you saw us on the front lines. You saw these coloreds on the front lines. We’re not here to play. We’re not here to play. (pause – light cheers) People tell me about love. Yeah, I got love. For y’all. I got love for my community. And right now, I tell y’all the truth, it’s time to go in to these communities and build. You understand? Cause we gotta reprogram the way black folks think. You end systemic racism tomorrow, we still got some serious problem. Another anecdote for y’all. You go to any school, anywhere in this country and …  it’s a white neighborhood … and you show me where the staff at that school and the principal are mostly black or brown. You don’t see that shit. And I love y’all teachers out here, but the bottom line is you go to any school in the Bronx, Harlem and the majority of the faculty and the staff is WHITE. Nah! I reject that shit. You … these NGOs that are put there to serve our people and they’re ran by White People. You might be doin’ good work, but if you really care you would put an impactin’ brown or black woman in that director’s position. This is all facts. We need to run our community. O.K.? I got love for my Jewish brothers and sisters, but ‘cha go out in Brooklyn and their communities, you ain’t gonna find black landlords. You ain’t gonna find black stores. But, ‘chu go in OUR communities and everybody owns everything except for US. This is the shit I’m tryin’ ta change. Now I’ll fight legislature, but I’m gonna build up black people.  If you love me, (fuck) with me. If you love the people, come out and join me. But I stand here and I say thank each and every one of you for giving up your Saturday to stand against racism and fascism and all those fuckers who were put here to oppress us. And these people who act like their words don’t have any ramifications and repercussions. We stand against all that. And from the BOTTOM of my heart I say Black Power. (cheers) Black Power! When I say Black Lives y’all say “matter”. Black Lives.  (crowd) “matter”. Black Lives (crowd) “matter”. When I say Black Lives y’all say “matter”. Black Lives (crowd) “matter”. Black Lives (crowd) “matter”. And FUCK Donald Trump. (cheers)

What is the First Step Act – [https://www.jurist.org/news/2018/12/president-trump-signs-criminal-justice-reform-first-step-act-into-law/] a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill aimed at reducing recidivism and refining sentencing laws and harsh penalties. “The First Step Act will help prepare inmates to successfully rejoin society and enact common sense sentencing reforms to make our justice system fairer for all Americans,” said a White House statement.

VIDEO: Emily Woo Yamasaki– Freedom Socialist Party –UAW 2320 – civilian review board. She is a queer socialist feminist organizer.  Her experience as a film and stage actress illuminates how capitalism exploits people of color and women through race and sex stereotyping. [https://socialism.com/fs-article/asian-american-women-on-the-move/]

She was the opening speaker “against racism and fascism”

TRANSCRIPT: “I’m a proud career socialist feminist and unionist of color. And what is a socialist and communist but a defender of the working class against the fascists. We’re so glad to see unionists here. And feminists and freedom fighters of all colors. [reads the mourns list – killings in NZ, N.C. Christians, Jews, Muslims] all acts by self-proclaimed white supremacists. And unfortunately the lists of such horrors does not end there. But what I want to focus on today is the root of fascism (points at something – case in point) ….. Us and the world … racism is a pillar of fascism. African Americans are no strangers to fascism and right wing terror. The Klan is an ugly part of American history. The first police force in the country was formed to catch run away slaves and prevent slave revolts. … fighting men in white hoods as well as men in blue. It’s also an important part of our history. It’s not always easy to work across the color lines but now more than ever we need to be doing that … people of color need to stand shoulder to shoulder with our white comrades

(my video)  … the common enemy, the corporate profiteers of capitalism. And this takes us to the very root of fascism. without capitalism there would be no fascism … and we can blame the democrats as well as the republicans for propping up capitalism … and we can blame Trump and his administration for emboldening the shock troops of the ruling 1%, like the Proud Boys. Just as in Nazi Germany, fascism needs scape goats …. the ultimate goal of fascism is actually to smash the power of unions and the working class. But can we defeat the right wing? Yes We Can. […] We exercise OUR First Amendment rights.[…]

We’re not living under fascism YET. The fascists are in process of building their own united front. And they’re well funded. And when it comes to who they target, they don’t leave anyone out. So the very survival of their targets, that’s all of us here, depends on our building a broad democratic front to stop the storm troopers in their tracks. Together we can defeat the fascist threat. We are many, you are few! We are many, you are few! Beat back the fascist attack. Beat back the fascist attack.”

VIDEO: Outlive Them NYC. Speaker’s name, Serona of CUNY

TRANSCRIPT: “After the Pittsburgh pogram – at Union Square – words of “thought and prayers” and “voting”. We were so angry and full of rage. We got together to decide what we could do to ELIMINATE the Far Right, to organize in NYC. Fascism is not to be debated, it is to be defeated, continuing our work organizing against the far-right in NYC through rapid response networks, popular education, and community outreach. Fascism is a threat to our survival … to every one standing here. Whether it’s racist, sexist killer-cops, on the streets of NYC. Concentration camps at the border or radicalized far right vigilanti violence against our communities, we have literally no choice but to win. This fascism violence, the export of American fascism globally and white supremacy to other nations in the world is not an aberration of a normally peaceful society.”

(my video) This is hegemonic white, Christian capitalism working exactly as intended … Take back our power …

” … they want us to feel powerless. Further alienated from each other. They want us to be afraid to go to shul … trying to take back its power … We must not cede an inch of this city to the far right. Whether in Brooklyn or Riverdale or Woodside, not a inch of the streets. We need to kick them out of our work places, to call them out. And we’re gonna take care of them if they’re in high schools or wherever. A variety of tactics [….] In the Mishna, whoever takes a human life is considered to have destroyed a world. And whoever saves a human life is considered as if he saved a world. And in the KORAN, it says, whoever kills a soul, it is as if he has slayed mankind entirely and whoever saves a soul it is as though he has saved mankind entirely. I’m here to represent Jewish solidarity with Muslims [….] NY is built on and run on the backs of those who are largely non-white. We must stand up and we must win. We’re going to win. I can feel it. We are going to win. We’re going to eliminate fascism from the streets of NYC and globally restructure the entire world.”

Jay Walker: LGBTQ – Gays against Guns (tall man on the right)

TRANSCRIPT: ” I’m here as a proud black man and proud gay man who stands up against the horror we have been living through the last few years, every single day….. this growing fascism, this growing authoritarianism, this unleashing of hatred and bigotry and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that has swept across our country. Hate crimes have grown at an  astronomical proportion over the last couple of years and there is no mystery as to why it has happened. We have a President who campaigned on hatred (of) disabled… misogyny… and we wonder why people are getting shot all over this country, non- stop. … Why synagogues are being defaced with swastikas … and why hijabs are being ripped off. There is no mystery. “

(my video begins here) But for St Patrick’s day parade I think we would have a lot more people here. But, we’re here and we’re growing. And we will continue to grow. And we continue to stand tall. And we will continue to not be afraid of a few maggots in a few red hats waving a few stupid flags around. Because we know that even though this country has never lived up to the ideal on which it was founded. Never has. We know if we hold these ideas in our hearts and our minds and our souls. And we stand tall. Keep speaking truth to the power that one day – may not be for a hundred years from now – we will actually have the America that actually stands for America.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done – there’s a hell of a lot of work that needs to be done over the next two years, so we can insure that we get this monster out of office as soon as possible. “

In conclusion: This Marxist/Fascist rally was hosted by NYC Democratic Socialists of America and Outlive Them NYC

They asked: “What is fascism — and how can we collectively practice anti-fascism in everyday life?

Far Right activity is growing in our city: Hate crimes have risen 120% compared to this time last year. White nationalists are actively recruiting in all five boroughs.

Racist, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic violence presents a clear and present danger to all of our communities. Yet it continues to be met with general impunity and indifference. It is more urgent than ever that we stand united and in solidarity with one another in the face of racist terror.

Fascism cannot be debated – only addressed directly and defeated. Join us and learn the skills we all need to defeat the far-right, neo-Nazis, white nationalists and fascists of our day.”

Nauseating …..

Patriots were also there, countering the socialist insanity by challenging the Marxist/Socialist lies. FACT: LEGAL immigrants are always WELCOMED but, illegals should go back where they came from. OBEY our laws. Come here LEGALLY. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Day of Justice – NYC- Abortion on Demand Hysteria as Hatred for all things Trump Prevailed

Posted on August 31, 2018 by | Leave a comment

NARAL’S “DAY OF JUSTICE” NYC. “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” by the National Abortion Rights Action League.

KAVANAUGH. TRUMP. Knee-jerk fighting words for the Feminazi Left.

Can’t have a gathering of NARAL Feminazis without obscenities, that’s how you know they are forward-thinking; independent of society’s cultural bondage. So, the profanities flowed. (this feline picture was tame compared to what I heard from the stage)

Didn’t bother recording the verbal harangues. Heard them once. Heard them all as they ranted on and on about imagined ‘threats’.


Abortion on demand. Claims of ‘coat-hanger’ deaths. (screen shots below from Barely Informed With Elad)

But the lives of INCONVENIENT children. Murdered. While feminists falsely claim a constitutional right to murder-on-demand …  instead of humane birth control. Silence.


From the crowd of mostly white faces the art of debate was lost. The focus was on Trump and Kavanaugh.

Provocateurs regressed to adolescent name-calling and “body blocking” the opposition with cries of Russia. Russia. Russia. [see Putin’s THUMB is on the scale]

When asked to explain and/or defend their ad hominem attacks (like El stupido) Stupidity reigned … on their side.

The lack of cogent argument revealed the extent of brain damage pervading this crowd of insurgents.

The few who want dialogue are rare – not more than 3 or 4. Still, after measured debate, they walk away, head shaking, dumb-struck that we cannot see the error of our ways.


Experienced leaders masquerade as part of the crowd, pretending to be Christians … religion is an important question/challenge. You must be exposed as a narrow-minded Christian. Others pretend to be Republicans who voted – “sadly” – for  Trump and his HATE machine.


One 30-something fellow was a “peace conflict mediator”. “Instead of COMPLAINING“, he asked, “What are WE doing to make a difference.”


An older woman pondered the statement that our own should come before open borders and the financial hardship they cause with over crowded schools, hospitals and social services.

Refusing fellowship in her One World, GLOBAL community, she struggled to respond …. and walked away.

Others in the crowd of Fascists included Sandi Bachom (a You Tube ‘intrepid” video-grapher).  As she filmed the opposition, profanity spewed from her mouth. Anger management anyone?


There was a woman, HOPPING mad at two women holding a “Trump 2020” banner. She chanted , “Trump for Prison, 2019 the worst President we’ve ever seen“. Her apoplexy continued with a sneering : Oh, yeah – Trump’s  ” Helped the stock market.” Then, she slinked away with  “Real Jews don’t support Nazis.”

Fascists. Nazis – their two favorite words. Unable, unwilling to defend or explain how that represents the Trump supporters. But, ad hominem attacks need no defense. When challenged, walk away with “I won’t let you trick me!”

Video- Part 1 – A look at the crowd that gathered in HATRED for all things Trump.

Part 2 – Scott Stringer. NYC’s Comptroller, who some day wishes to be mayor, ranted from the stage against all things Trumpian; pleasing this fascist crowd of potential voters. He preached to the choir.

Part 3- Patriot Jim dialogued with a few – not many –  of the insurgents. While some couldn’t manage a coherent exchange, You Tube reporter Barely Informed With Elad was on-the-spot; deftly engaging the NARAL crowd with facts they did not wish to hear.

Protest over, all left with ears FULL of “Support NARAL”. “Stop Kavanaugh”. “Impeach Trump”. VOTE! FEMINAZIS UNITE!  UNITE FOR JUSTICE!

Are you willing to challenge the Left when they gather. (Which is OFTEN) Are we/you/ all of us to be silent. To “Make nice”. Or shall we finally and FIRMLY speak out.

Now is the time to decide. As elections draw near, to stop the RED (Commie) Tide – VOTE!!

NYC Italian-Americans:Save Columbus Circle Statue!

Posted on August 31, 2017 by | 2 comments

“They have forgotten what the contributions of different cultures have meant to various societies. There is the bad, as we have seen from history, and as we see now, but there is also the good. If Caucasians are so bad, then why is one section of the world struggling to empty into the Western lands? Do you see any exodus headed elsewhere?” [Facebook]

Stop Mayor Red Bill de Blasio. Again. Now it’s the Italian-American heritage assault.  On the steps of NY City Hall,  a press conference was held in support of  the Columbus Circle statue. A GIFT to the city of NY in 1892 by Italian immigrants.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

A passionate roster of speakers mostly Italian-Americans were there but none came to hate-on America. They spoke with pride as Americans who are also proud of their Italian heritage.

Opening remarks from Councilman Joseph Borelli (R-South Shore).

Borelli begins by mentioning the significance of Italian American protests in 1970-1. And now Columbus is next on the chopping block. He warns de Blasio and Mark-Viverito, who are opening historical arguments 4oo years old, your actions are more divisive than uniting. The iconoclasm we are seeing […] will look foolish 200 years from now. How will our actions today be judged. This is an unfortunate chapter in NYC’s history. We are concerned about preserving his (Columbus’) legacy. We are asking […] he be judged through the lens of the era in which he lived.”

 Congressman Borelli was followed by Joe Piscopo (Piscopo excerpts)

“This is about my grandparents. They came from Italy. They came in steerage. On the boat to Ellis island, passed the statue of liberty. With no respect they came to this country. You know what they did? They learned the law. They learned the language. They were proud to become Americans. I wasn’t allowed to speak Italian in the house. They became Americans. The one iconic symbol for Italian-Americans was Christopher Columbus. He’s flawed. We’re all flawed. Hey, I’m flawed. We’re all flawed. You know what gets me frustrated … Italians have no respect. We never complain… When we were prejudiced against. When they hung Sicilians in New Orleans.(**lynched March 14, 1891 **) Teddy Roosevelt said, “They got what they deserved.” FDR interned Italians during WW2. We didn’t complain because WE WERE AMERICANS. Leave our statues alone (cheers). Stop the political correctness. It’s killing us. Keep the greatness, keep the texture, the character of the United States of America.”

The reality that politicians of a ‘progressive’ persuasion – aka Marxists – seem to be gaining ground as they “progressively” wipe our American history from the books inspired multiple speaker. They spoke passionately of their pride in America and our shared history. [Part 1 – Candidates were introduced “Bo” Dietl, Michel Faulkner, Steve Saperstein, Lucretia Potter.

5 speakers (in order):  Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn), Council Minority Leader Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island), Assemblyman Ronald Castorina Jr., Brooklyn Councilman Vincent Gentile, Councilman Mark Mark Treyger.

These proud Americans put the mayor on-notice that no one is going to suck-it-up and accept his offensive proposals. Leave our statues ALONE. [Part 2 –Staten Island artist Scott LoBaido is introduced followed by 5 speakers (in order) Queens Councilman, Eric Ulrich, Joe Guagliardo, National Council Of Columbia Associations, Joe Sciame, former president Sons of Italy in America, John (?), and last –  the attorney representing 10,000 members in the NYPD Association and Manny Rothstein.

It was a moving and informative 45 minutes presser. Well-attended by the press, a press that was clearly not too sympathetic to the cause as was apparent in the Q and A. You can see and hear the disdain in the reporters’ questions.

So, will Mayor “Red Bill” and his fellow travelers, Melissa Mark-Viverito, diverge from their path of destruction? Not bloody likely.

Will the citizens of NYC allow this proud Italian-American symbol of our shared American history to disappear, treated with disdain by the anti-America Left? Not bloody likely.

This is war. Americans vs the Marxist cabal. Game on.

+++ This is a partial list of names mentioned in video: Councilman Joseph Borelli (R-South Shore), Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn),  Assemblyman Ronald Castorina Jr., Council Minority Leader Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island), Assemblyman Matthew Titone (D-North Shore),  Staten Island artist Scott LoBaido, comedian Joe Piscopo, Brooklyn Councilman Vincent Gentile, Joseph Guagliardo of the National Council Of Columbia Associations, Joseph Sciame, the former president of the Sons of Italy in America.++++

Ending with a flashback to the art exhibit built around the Columbus statue in 2012.

I was thrilled to walk up the scaffolding stairs, to see the Columbus statue up-close on September 20, 2012. But, was this a good thing?

October 2012- “Discovering Columbus”- a rare opportunity to see the 1892 marble figure of the great Italian explorer up close. Nishi, who is internationally known for transforming historical monuments by surrounding them with domestic spaces, said the aim of his piece is to put the viewer at eye level with the statue. “Discovering Columbus” is his first public art project in the United States.

However, this particular art-event – “Discovering Columbus” – was met with derision by the Italian American community; covering up the statue with a scaffolding, on Columbus Day 2012 – Not nice.

And now, five years later, they fight the outrageous possibility of removing the statue all together and RENAMING the Circle ++ LENAPE CIRCLE ++

What’s next? Renaming the continents? No more Amergus Vespuci. No more “America”. Sadly the big LIE of “indigenous” people to the North and South American continents would live on.

Links: Gothamist, Patch

** 1891 lynchings mentioned by Joe Piscopo – In late 19th-century America there was a growing prejudice against Italians, who were immigrating to the American South in large numbers to fill the shortage of cheap labor created by the end of slavery. Sugar planters, in particular, sought workers who were lower paid and more compliant than former slaves; they hired immigrant recruiters who began bringing the Italians to southern Louisiana. In the 1890s, thousands of Italians were arriving in New Orleans each year. Many settled in the French Quarter, which by the early 20th century became known as “Little Sicily.”[22] 

Southern Italians were not considered full-fledged members of the “white race”… Between 1890 and 1910, Sicilians made up less than 4 percent of the white male population, yet were roughly 40 percent of the white victims of southern lynch mobs.[54] **
