The balloon was up as I arrived and seemed to be fine.
HOWEVER, then the WINDS came.
For the presser and after, there was a battle in the background, a crew trying to keep the Mushroom Cloud Balloon UPRIGHT due to the Times Square winds. ( … the best laid plans …)
The video is a bit like watching paint dry, but I couldn’t look away. The mushroom cloud keep delivering …. a slow collapse, no matter how many long towel-wrapped brooms tried to right the ship…
The Mushroom Cloud and its battle against the winds of Times Square. It was a slooow battle as it would fold, get righted, only to fold again.
The pdf is the best place to find all the info on the Mushroom Cloud art and the organizations behind it.
Chose to post excerpts of the speakers as it took a few too long for most to get to the point of WHY the Mushroom Cloud Balloon in Times Square:”Zero Nukes”.
“The Helenist organizations hosting this. They took their appeasement to a whole new level by using Chanukah as a vehicle to promote their political agendas which does not support Jewish strength.” [Karen – Yad Yamin]
“UJA, JCRC and the ADL really outdid themselves this time with selling out the Jewish people.The only thing Jewish about this celebration was lighting the menorah.
The Maccabeats were great, the host, Eboni K. Williams, was LOUD as she prattled on about the civil rights movement. She did speak to rooting out anti-semitism as an American issue.
“The speakers kept reinforcing that WE must work together with the black community. Last time I looked, Jews are. My response, give these speeches in predominantly black and izlamic communities. Jews aren’t attacking blacks or izlamists.” [Karen – Yad Yamin]
Joe Borgen, the man attacked by pali-muslims on May 20, 2021- because he was Jewish- reminded the audience of this violent attack, but was he told not to mention who his attackers actually were? So much for Shining a Light on the perpetrators.
“There was a Christian choir. (I have no idea how their songs fit into the celebration of Chanukah.)” The Christian Culture Center Choir
“The hosts couldn’t find Jewish choir in a yeshiva?” [Karen – Yad Yamin]
Shine a Light on anti-Semitism was more a political show for Gov. Kathy Hochul and NY Attorney General, Tish James, since both are vying to be next governor of NY, noticed they did NOT share the stage at the same time. Kathy was long gone by the time Tish spoke. (UPDATE 12/09 – Tish is no longer running for Gov.)
UPDATE: the TYRANNY of the despots is never ending: MORE indoor mask mandates DECREED by Hochul
(Fun Fact: soon to be EX-Mayor Bill de Blasio, another governor wanna be, showed up later and was roundly booed by some in attendance.) After destroying NYC, this guy thinks he actually has a chance. What a clown.
“One more thing, there were more gay pride flags with magen dovids than Israeli flags.
Shame on UJA NY, JCRC NY and ADL NY/NJ!”
“Appeasement NEVER works. They did this on the first day of Chanukah and didn’t even refer to it as a Chanukah celebration!
Shame on the Jewish organizations that are silent! Galut is doomed if this is the best we have.” [Karen – Yad Yamin]
“ … Every significant movement in … history… in this country has started in New York … a brighter future, a cleaner future, a future free from racism, from anti-semitism, from sexism, from homophobia, from trans-phobia and xenophobia and every other god-damned phobia. It has to stop now.” (Kathy Hochul – 2020)
“We have at least two Jew-hating, anti-Americans running for Gov, possibly three since this includes Jumanne Williams. Praying they don’t win the primary. G-d help us if they do.” [Karen – Yad Yamin]
(Jumaane as well as Tish were anointed long ago by the commie/progs running this city (and so much of the state).
See previous protest outside Trump Tower on Inauguration Day 2017. Jumaane and his mother (“in the spirit of Dr King, we are going to actively resist anything this administration is going to do“) were arrested at NOON on Inauguration Day 2017. No insurgents here, I guess.
Feb.6, 2017 : Washington Sq – Flash back quotes of Letitia. All rabble rousing worthy of a Jan 6 “insurrection”.
Tish James : ” If you honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then you havean obligation. Whenever you see a government that is lawless, you’ve got an obligation and a duty to RESIST. RESIST. RESIST.
We’ve got an obligation and a duty to fight back… to protect the marginalized community and vulnerable community … we’ve got to protect those who they are coming after.
And so we’ve gotta stand up to the Federal Government. We’ve gotta stand up to bullies. We’ve gotta stand up to an administration that is “too male, too pale and too stale”.
We will not be silent in the face of this oppression, in the face of this discrimination; in the face of HATE. We will not normalize hate.
This is MY country and I will DEFEND the rights of immigrants and refugees. Mr. President, you and your Executive Orders, you have turned back progress for decades. That puts you on notice, we will resist and we will ultimately see you in court.
I say to Donald Trump, you are NOT my President. I will resist you and stand up to you and I know there is an ARMY out there that will join me.
I need my young people to organize and organize and organize. It is up to you, to get out in the streets, to protect your colleagues, to protect your students, your neighbor and to PROTECT your COUNTRY.” [END]
And also from 2017:
“We’ve gotta stand up to an administration that is “too male, too pale and too stale”. … we need to say that MUSLIMS are Americans too and they need to be treated with respect. DEFEAT Islamophobia and all those who HATE people who are different. I’m a Muslim tonight. I’m Gay tonight. I’m Latino tonight. I’m Black tonight.” [Letitia “Tish” James]
I have yet to hear Attorney General, Tish James, claim to be JEWISH tonight.
Too many in this city, and in the media, think that by sharing the stage with these leftists, who work to support BDS and strip Israel of it’s statehood, means they are not anti-Semites. That this alliance with the left will save them from another holocaust. Delusions that kill.
Shining a Light on anti-semitism? While promoting their nightmare solutions.
G-d help us all.
Oct 16, 2021. Another Rally for Freedom of Choice opposing vaccine mandates gathered in Times Square. It began at 1 pm, with speakers at 2 pm, followed by a media march at 3:30 to the NY Times and CNN HQ.
Climate change. The Great Reset. Build Back Better. These are all just excuses for bringing about Global Communism. (Twitter)
You are the ones who are standing up for your values. You are the ones who are going to save the country for yourselves, for your children and for the 67%, when they finally come to their senses. (RFK Jr)
Flickr slide show: A large, diverse and enthusiastic crowd had already gathered by 1:30. “Say NO to vaccine mandates” was the issue across party lines. Dancers performed. The National Anthem was sung followed by a young, black woman who sang a lovely His Eye is On the Sparrow. Then two speakers from the Children’s Health Defense, Mary Holland and Robt F. Kennedy Jr., who was the main speaker.The crowd showered RFK JR with thank yous and selfies, before and even as he tried to leave.
“There is no PANDEMIC exception to the U.S.Constitution or the Bill of Rights. (Even though pandemics during Revolutionary War, small pox epidemic and the next summer, malaria in Virginia) : No Pandemic Exception.
They got rid of Property Rights. Closed every business in this country for a year. Constitution says you must have Due Process (a Public Hearing) and pay just compensation.
They got rid of Freedom of Religion. Closed churches for a year with no science behind it (But, Fauci kept liquor stores open).
ACLU giving annual Constitutional Champion Award to Fauci (Boos)Do you think he s a constitutional champion (NOs)
Part 1 (Kennedy con’t) Censorship – Facebook. Instagram. (They shut down) any statement that departs from official government pronouncements or claims from pharmaceutical companies.
James Madison- re 1st Amendment- all the other rights depend of it.
The first amendment is a problem for them. They no longer believe people can be trusted. “We can no longer trust the people. We have to protect them from dangerous thoughts, from dangerous misinformation. We have to LIE to them. (It’s) the only way to continue to have peace.” That is the end of democracy – you have lost faith it. No longer call yourself the Democratic Party.
VIDEO Part 2 (9:49) – RFK Jr continues:
(Kennedy excerpted text Part 2) [re business lock downs] 60%, many black owned for three generations are closed forever. bankrupted. (boos)
Jury Trials and the U.S. Constitution. They got rid of jury trials. Cannot sue for injury – no matter how toxic the ingredient. No American shall be deprived of the right of a trial. Jury of their peers. What if someone cripples you for life. What about due process of law.
Regulatory agencies pass laws. Can’t get rid of them. No accountability. Can’t vote them out. Tyrants.
Masking. Lock-downs. Social-Distancing. (paraphrasing) Did not follow any of the required methods of notification and public response, considering the impact. Nobody ever made a citation. Public hearings. (describes Fauci’s) diktats of a technocrat. Do what you are told and keep your mouth shut. They ordered us to behave.
Everyone in this crowd has a feeling of discomfort re what is happening to them. What happened to our country. How did all these countries in the world, in one lock-step move, pivot and end democracy. Impose authoritarian control all at once. All over the globe. How did that happen.
[a word I don’t understand] that is a table-top pandemic simulation that was put on by Bill Gates WITH the CIA in Oct 2019. Present were social media titans, Bloomberg News. Major power sectors of our country were participating. In October…
September is probably when the viruses escaped Wuhan, according to internet chatter. So a month later Covid is already circulating. They were practicing a drill: what will they do if a Covid pandemic. They did not practice how to make people well. To build stronger immune systems. How to protect the constitution during a pandemic. NO. What they were practicing was how to use the pandemic as an excuse to clamp down totalitarian control and eliminate the Bill Of Rights.
VIDEO Part 3 (9:47) – RFK Jr. conclusion
(excerpted text Part 3) How do we make money on a pandemic. (That’s what they’re practicing)
How do we get the social media and MSM to keep people from talking about the possibility of a lab generated pandemic. That’s all they were talking about. How do we shut people up. They were worried. How do we stop people from talking. (How do we stop Bobby Kennedy on IG when he says we should investigate) 100’s of thousands of people practiced these simulations. And they were not practicing how to heal people.
Researching the CIA (re a $1200 manual that is almost impossible to get):
How to go into indigenous countries/impose foreign centralized control … by the CIA. Destroy local economy. destroy social and family relationships. erode institutions. pump up fear. scapegoat. all the alchemies of totalitarianism. Once they have sown total chaos, come in with centralized control and take over.
CIA for many years did research and how to control individual and mass behavior. How to impose mass control on a population. (150 universities in this country were made to be apart of this study for mass control) most famous in mid-60s was at Yale (home of the CIA). Cross-section of the country and a man in a white lab coat (claiming to be a doctor) 67% did what they were told. Even though they were in tears. Violating their conscience. They found that authority figures control values and conscience.
(Like) Fauci. The guy in the white lab coat. Never treated a patient. Telling us to violate our conscience. 67 % co-operated. BUT 33% REFUSED. (CHEERS- Freedom. Freedom.)
600 people on the West Coast said they are going to lose their jobs. He (Kennedy) said you really should think about that. They said no, we’re going to die on this hill.
A generation of Americans in 1776 felt it was better to be dead then to lose your freedoms. And because of them we have the United States Constitution, so we could enjoy the Bill of Rights that the 67% have given away for free over the last year.
We need to go get it back.
You are the ones who are standing up for your values. You are the ones who are going to save the country for yourselves, for your children and for the 67%, when they finally come to their senses.
(Cheers from crowd. Thank You’s. We Love You and Bobby. Bobby. Bobby.)
“Once I learned about the extreme liability protection that industry and healthcare providers enjoy, and the suppression of accurate science and information about vaccine risks and injury, I understood the need for immediate, radical systemic change. I have been devoted to that change ever since.” (M.Holland at Children’s Health Defense)
“The reason that Hydroxychloroquine and other therapeutics were blocked is because if something worked, they couldn’t give emergency use approval to the vaccines. It all makes sense now.” [Twitter]
Last video (2:09)Excerpted clips of opening speaker and the crowd boldly challenging the vaccine mandates.
Re the Black/African flag seen in the crowd created by artist David Hammons. (The African-American flag) “… a massive political statement for the African-American community, inspired by two contrasting symbols: the U.S flag and the Pan-African flag, the two flags merged to expose the feeble history behind the flag of the United States and the mixed messages it conveys about their history.”
A political statement flag at a ‘No Vaccine Mandate’ Rally seems to represent separatism, instead of unification of purpose.
The Media March to the NY Times and CNN HQ at 3:30 was covered by Scootercaster:
#HappeningNow Hundreds of anti-mandate Protesters chant "Defund the Media" in front of the New York Times Building.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Oct. 21 called for a special legislative session to consider bills countering vaccine and mask mandates. The move follows a series of CCP virus vaccine mandates imposed by the administration of President Joe Biden. This does not sit well with the Florida Governor, and he has “had enough” of federal interference into state business … [Epoch Times]
The U.S. judiciary system is doing a poor job of stopping, blocking, and delaying COVID-19 vaccine coercion, but workers who have toiled throughout the pandemic are using their voices to pressure companies into laying off of forcing the jab.
The courts’ lack of vigor for reinforcing personal freedom has resulted in the firing of many people, but workers are determined to fight back. Employees all across the nation have protested, and some of their efforts are being rewarded.
In conclusion:
“A generation of Americans in 1776 felt it was better to be dead then to lose your freedoms. And because of them we have the United States Constitution, so we could enjoy the Bill of Rights that the 67% have given away for free over the last year. We need to go get it back.” (RFK Jr)

May 12, 2021 Duffy Square . NYC. Stand Up Against Terror.
(no idea why this rally was never posted here)
It was a really nice turn out in Support for Israel, with just a few Neturei Karta in opposition. Unfortunately the speakers were in a tight circle so the media wasn’t able to get coverage – other than a few signs.
Flickr slide show of Rally
August 26, 2021: “Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s meeting with President Joe Biden comes in the midst of heightened tensions with its regional archenemy, Iran, and as Israel grapples with a gradual resurgence of hostilities on its southern border with the Gaza Strip.”
The Big Lie, that they are “PEACEFUL” ‘fakestinians’,was exposed. This is a WAR to get rid of the Jews, everywhere; not just in Israel.
The NYPD attempted to protect the Support Israel Rally from the insane ‘palis’.
Smoke bombs, fist fights, water bottles lobbed across the square. The mayhem left many damaged chairs and tables, all that was in the path of these ‘pali’ marauders.
They respect no one.
Stolen flags was a favorite ‘sport’.
But, so were the arrests (I read there were as many as 25 arrests). Fun watching them marched through the crowd
At first the police didn’t manage these 5 boys appropriately as they were causing confrontations, pushing and arguing through the crowd. (It seemed to be their ‘assignment’.)
These 5 pre-teens were annoyed when officers finally pulled them out of the crowd to cause less confusion. But, not before the boy in white stole an Israeli flag, spearheading the first physical confrontation.
And this lovely boy, not liking what she said, told a Jewish woman he was going to punch her out.
You tube videos (6 short vids) Vid 1: This was intended to be a peaceful rally in Support of Israel’s Right to Defend. I was told that the NYPD had not felt any extra protection would be needed. But, there was nothing peaceful in the ‘pali’ assaults against the pro-Israel rally. The extra protection up front would have been nice.
Vid 2: One particular debater went on for quite awhile about “genocide’. She screamed, “You’re killing my people” and, “We have only rocks to defend ourselves.” Also, she was very annoyed by the “Support Israel” group’s dancing and singing …. while her people were dying.
Vid 3 : Chanting, singing and debating before the “pali” assaults took off.
Vid 4 : As both sides squared off, police attempted to contain the “palis”. But, they stole more Israeli flags anyway, threw smoke canisters and eventually, “breached the barricades.”
Vid 5 : Both sides were face to face at one point, way too close for comfort.
Vid 6 : Police continued to gain some control by keeping the “palis” separate, but as the mess in Duffy reveals, that was ultimately a big fail.
Flickr slide shows: Part 1, a peaceful rally was ATTACKED in Times Square. Part 2 is a look at the “palis” and the NYPD. Eventually there were many “pali” arrests.
Part 2 Flickr is a look at the “palis” including 5 pre-teen males. Not sure what the fake ACLU protest monitor was doing. I saw at least one wandering uselessly as usual.
What followed the so called conclusion to the Duffy Square assaults was more assaults throughout the city.
..This next attack was after the rally for Israel. [NY POST attack] With a disgusting response from the perpetrator who claimed he was the victim. [NY POST no remorse]
And then there was an explosive device of some sort thrown at pedestrians in the Diamond District [Yeshiva World] (explosion is at approx 1:44)
Saturday, the 22nd, was a different story. In Sunnyside, Queens “Thousands of protesters marched from Sunnyside to Astoria Queens in a large demonstration in support of Palestine on Saturday. Crowd waved flags, rode on cars, held signs and chanted as they marched in Astoria.” Video by @NewYorkCityPeople @ScooterCasterNY and @queensnewsjunkie [https://t.co/xv1JfNWVqL] [https://twitter.com/i/status/1396245325204103169]
No CONFLICTS according to a very silent press. However, there was this video from Elad Eliahu[@elaadeliahu] of the not so peaceful ‘palis’ : “A Jewish Trans Person was assaulted at the Nakba Free Palestine protest in Bay Ridge Saturday, after saying “I’m not a Zionist” by a man draping a palestinian flag, the assaulter was allowed to run off by others. This story has been suppressed by local activist reporters“. (crickets)
Sadly, the NYPD , overwhelmed by the “palis”, has advised NYC JEWS to be safe and stay home. If this is what comes of these attacks, isolation and fear? If so, the TERRORISTS will have won.

As the election looms: ‘Love is the Answer; We are all in this together”
Found these bill boards of Mr Brainwash posted at the corner of 7th Ave and 42nd Street for at least the summer months. They were there for a long haul.
Even though the art of Mr Brainwash depicts a message of love – given to the city of New York – the message fell on what was certainly NOT a Summer of LOVE as BLM and Antifa looted, burned and destroyed much of the city. BUT NYC patriots are fighting back (Thank G-d) … Thank yous go to Operation Flag Drop and Dion Cini …
Still, NYC is never subtle. Promoting the ridiculous “Don’t Be Afraid of Anyone” (Embrace The Absurd) campaigns that dragged on for a couple of years.(compliments of the progs in-office)
Only recently replaced by another VOTE VOTE VOTE campaign.
This reminded me of the VOTE TWICE message found at the GAP store in Times Square (20o8). A campaign that rolls on and on each election…
A Vote Twice 2008 campaign. (Seen in the jar and on the T-shirt) Guess Obama/ Biden needed the extra help. But, has that duplicitous campaign ended? (Not likely)
As for the Mr Brainwash ads, seems the premiere was in July – 29th July, 2020.
Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash art seen on billboards on Ernst & Young headquarters on Times Square in New York, NY The artist is a French-born and based in nowadays in Los Angeles. [guy hepner] [spectrum news]
“LOVE is the Answer” simply reduces life in NYC to one big empty cliche. No real solution offered to life’s travails.
And, WHO is Mr. Brainwash. Why did he merit such a prominent intersection, for so long? [pacific press agency]
Thierry Guetta was featured in Banksy documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop” in SOHO New York City NYC( 06/30/2020)
Never Never Give Up! by Mr. Brainwash
(photo property of Guy Hepner)
“The work of Mr. Brainwash is rooted in pop art. Mr. Brainwash looks to art and entertainment as the subjects of his work. Mr. Brainwash uses pop art that includes artistic tradition and even prior pop art as the subject of his work.
Mr. Brainwash (MBW) is the pseudonym for the graffiti street artist Thierry Guetta. Mr. Brainwash was born in France in 1966. Rising to prominence due to a heavily hyped exhibition and a Banksy-directed documentary entitled, “Exit Through the Gift Shop,”
Originally a video-grapher, Mr. Brainwash began his career in 1999 documenting the lives and artwork of various graffiti street artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey. Mr. Brainwash’s graffiti-styled art has continued to garner recognition from art collectors and street art enthusiasts alike.
On a visit to France, Guetta filmed his cousin, the street artist Space Invader. The experience changed Guetta’s life, he became fascinated with the role of street art in modern culture.
After dabbling, his first show, “Life is Beautiful,” received positive reviews, although Guetta’s team ended up making key gallery decisions while Guetta played the role of the hype man by calling in favors from Fairey, Banksy and other artists.
Guetta’s restlessness translated into an enormous art show with hundreds of pieces, created by a team of graphic designers under Guetta’s guidance. His work is a cavalcade of styles, themes and subjects, many of them borrowed from other artists.”
So, it would seem it took a TEAM of designers to borrow and create, yet One Man gets the credit: M. Guetta aka Mr Brainwash. Whatever.
NYC is such a tool, never passing up an opportunity to SPREAD THE LOVE.
And that they did – with no commitment to any real peace and love.

“Abolish ICE” protesters, joined by BLM, blocked traffic at 7th avenue & 46th Street (aka Duffy Square). As usual this involved lots of police to clear the streets and make arrests.
Note charming T-shirt “RIOT”
Unless these protestors are burning and looting, even the sycophant media ignores them.
The photo-ops are the usual TIE UP TRAFFIC (and the police) and then the arrests.
-“Barely informed with ELAD“ has the action before I arrived, with approximately 100 of the protestors arrested and carted off to 1 Police Plaza.
I arrived after the bulk of the arrests had been taken in vans and busses.
–The remaining protestors, no longer in the street, were waiting for the last of the arrestees to depart.
Jerks like this fellow taunted the police with derogatory verbal diarrhea.
Police were stoic.
Polite. Patient.
Flickr Slide Show (Sept. 19, 2020)
-The BLM/ICE coalitions hang together, offending everyone while demanding RESPECT thru fear.
Unfortunately, some synagogues and churches advertised their support by posting fearful compliance for all to see.
There are many who think these anarchists are do-gooders.
Too many are frightened of fighting back, so they support the BLM lies;
ignoring thefts, looting and riots.
Too late, some will finally realize, there is no reward for such foolish loyalty.
“Bands of shoplifters are terrorizing Soho’s high-end boutiques, lifting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of designer merchandise, and in some cases, threatening security guards to keep quiet — or be labeled racist…”

Cit Ass Theatre Presented a play (of sorts) “on Broadway” about “a Climate and Ecological Emergency”, Jurassic Farce.
September 23, 2020
6 pm – 44th st and Broadway.
(click picture for short Flickr Slide show)
Actually, it’s Children’s Theatre for adults – with colorful costumes – and a very unsubtle message. (video 1)
Blue Dinos good/ Red Dinos bad. “Prehistoric creatures demonstrate how everyday people can mitigate a Climate and Ecological Disaster” (video 2 – The Play)
A meteor is going to hit the earth. How to save humanity. “Why is a solution so difficult to find“. (video 3, at 25 seconds, speaker presents solution to intersectional crisis)
In conclusion, it will take a Citizen’s Assembly where the PEOPLE assemble a plan: Power to the People!
“LOVE is the Answer” simply reduces life in NYC to one big empty cliche. No real solution offered to life’s travails.

Police were stoic.
