Unsurprising: Jew Working For UK Guardian Feels Unsafe

By William Teach November 7, 2023 – 7:00 am

This isn’t the stupid Millennial/GenZ type, but, real danger. But, first this from an Islamic extremist who works at the UK Guardian

Pro-Palestine rallies aren’t ‘hate marches’ – they’re an expression of solidarity, helplessness and frustration

As the streets fill with ever-increasing numbers of pro-Palestine supporters – and with a large protest planned in central London next weekend – British politicians and commentators are coming up with new ways of describing what is happening: from “hate marches”, in the words of home secretary Suella Braverman, to empty displays of “virtue signalling”. The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has already called next weekend’s march, which coincides with Armistice Day, “provocative and disrespectful”. But each attempt to cast this movement as menacing is really a refusal to try to understand what is going on. The truth is that a large number of people in Britain can feel strongly about the situation in Gaza while not being “obsessed” with Palestine or motivated by terrorist sympathies.

You can read the rest, but, the very fact is, when the protesters are explicitly calling to kill Jews and destroy Israel, it’s not peaceful. What are they frustrated with, that it’s taking so long to kill Jews and erase Israel?

I’m a Jew at ‘The Guardian.’ I Don’t Feel Safe at Work.

I wake up on October 7 to a text from my brother-in-law: “Thoughts are with your family in Israel. I hope everyone is safe.”

I check the news. Hamas has entered southern Israel. They’re in a kibbutz. My partner’s family is in that kibbutz. His cousin is nine months pregnant. He’s in contact with them; they’re in the safe room. Terrorists are outside.

I check social media. Reports of hostages, maybe three. I check again; perhaps ten.

There is a long bit about how concerned he/she is, and how helpless over all these people he/she knows.

I look at the papers the next day. The newspaper I work for has a tank on the front page: ‘Hundreds die and hostages held as Hamas assault shocks Israel’—victorious terrorists hold a Palestinian flag. The subheading reads ‘Netanyahu declares war as 150 Israelis die. 230 Palestinians killed in air strikes.’

I don’t understand. I know people, Israelis, who were murdered. They did not “die,” as if in some kind of accident. I saw footage of terrorism. It was not an “assault.” (snip)

On Monday I go to work. How are your family, a colleague asks. When I answer, she squirms. Can’t they just leave, my colleague says. No, they can’t actually.

I look at the morning newsletter for the newspaper I work for. It breaks down the number of dead Palestinian children. It does not mention dead Israeli children. (snip)

I see a colleague who had posted about “decolonization” all over social media over the weekend. They’re laughing with the rest of their team. They’re having a great day. I used to love their podcast, full of hot takes and celeb gossip. Now they’ve evolved into an expert on the Middle East. It doesn’t look like their family is in the middle of it, though.

It’s a rather long piece, worth the read, and the gist is that the UK Guardian and so many of the leftists (and the paper has never been scared to show that they are leftists) do hate Israel and Jews. It’s a big problem for the Socialists/Marxists/Progressives/whatever you want to call them.

Just Stop Oil Damages Another Painting

By William Teach November 6, 2023 – 3:00 pm

These people are nuts

So, what, exactly, does damaging a painting like this have to do with anything? It’s also fantastic that pretty much everything they’re wearing is made with petroleum. And the effeminate guy’s NWA hat? Good grief.

(BBC) The Met Police said two activists had been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

Following the latest incident, Just Stop Oil (JSO) said: “Women did not get the vote by voting, it is time for deeds not words. It is time to Just Stop Oil.

“Politics is failing us. It failed women in 1914 and it is failing us now. New oil and gas will kill millions. If we love art, if we love life, if we love our families we must Just Stop Oil.”

OK, make your own clothes. Stop using smartphones. That hammer? Made with plastics, meaning petroleum.

Just Stop Oil have already cost the taxpayer £40million through their selfish stunts with millions more to come, new analysis shows

Selfish stunts by Just Stop Oil activists have already cost the taxpayer an estimated £40million, new analysis today reveals.

Hundreds of the eco-zealots were arrested in London this week as JSO ramped-up their autumn action and dozens have since been charged.

Analysis now shows how much the group has estimated to have cost the hard-up taxpayer since they formed in February last year.

And it will keep happening as long as the nuts are allowed to operate. Throw a few in jail. Give them a huge number of hours for community service, and make them dirty jobs.

Israel Says There Will Be No Ceasefire Till All Hostages Are Returned

By William Teach November 6, 2023 – 10:30 am

It really is a simple concept. Most people and countries calling for a “humanitarian pause”, which would allow Hamas to get a breather and then launch more attacks on civilian Jews, but, rarely call for all the hostages to be returned

Israel Rejects Ceasefire Calls as Forces Set to Deepen Offensive

Israel on Sunday rejected growing calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, with military specialists saying that forces are set to intensify their operations against Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, with no time frame set for their activities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded that all of the more than 240 hostages captured by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attacks are returned.

“There will be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages. This should be completely removed from the lexicon,” Netanyahu told crews at the Ramon air force base in southern Israel, reiterating the government’s long-standing position.

“We say this to our friends and to our enemies. We will simply continue until we defeat them. We have no alternative.”

Are the hostages alive? No one knows. Hamas hasn’t said. They aren’t putting out propaganda or anything else. If the Palestinian people are not part of Hamas, if they just want to live in peace with Israel, perhaps they should overthrow Hamas, instead of having supported them since they were elected back in 2006.

Israel’s military says it has surrounded Gaza City; Gaza loses communications again

Gaza lost communications Sunday in its third total outage of the Israel-Hamas war, while Israel’s military said it encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two.

“Today there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group ruling the enclave. Israeli media reported troops were expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

The “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza, reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by Palestinian telecom company Paltel, made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

Yeah, well, is it a wise idea to allow your enemy to communicate easily in the midst of a war? It’s expected that the Israeli military will enter Gaza City this week after surrounding it and splitting Gaza in two. Let the hostages go and all Hamas fighters, especially those in charge, should turn themselves in, and this can end.

Meanwhile, Nazis in Illinois

(Breitbart) Hecklers shouted “kill the babies” to taunt a protest Sunday organized by Jews in Skokie, Illinois, to highlight the fact that 30 children, including babies, are being held hostage by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.

The Times of Israel reported:

Jewish community members in Skokie outside of Chicago have organized an exhibit of 30 empty strollers to raise awareness about the 30 children currently being held hostage in Gaza along with roughly 210 others.

…

Several people driving by shout obscenities at the Jewish participants, including, “kill the babies!”

A source told Breitbart News that more drivers and passersby were supportive of the protest than opposed.

There are always horrible people in the world, and the Jew haters are showing their stripes.

Climate Cult Pushes Psychedelic Drugs To Deal With Climate Doom Anxiety

By William Teach November 6, 2023 – 7:15 am

Really? No, really? They’re really pushing people to take psychedelic drugs to cope with a cult scam? This really is looking more and more like a scam, where they want you on drugs

How psychedelic therapy may help with climate change anxiety

As our weekly therapy session drew to a close, my patient, a young woman in her early 20s approaching college graduation, said that she had been feeling a lack of motivation, but that it felt different from her usual depressive symptoms.

A worrisome climate change report had recently been published, and she felt paralyzed by uncertainty of what the world is going to look like. She asked, “How can I decide where I want to go? Will it even be safe to live in California when I’m older?”

Many of us are feeling a sense of powerlessness and despair over climate change and its harmful effects. As a psychiatrist, I have noticed a growing trend among patients in my private practice suffering from what mental health professionals are calling eco-anxiety and climate grief.

Psychedelic therapies may have a growing role in supporting this unique trauma and grief. By exploring and utilizing these tools in our sessions, some of my patients have experienced a reduction of their anxiety symptoms, more acceptance and awareness of their emotions and increased energy and motivation toward environmental activism.

I guess it’s better than many of the drugs prescribed be mental health professionals, but, come on, if they were doing their jobs they’d be explaining that the patients are getting all worked up over nothing. But, there are better ways, such as exercise, socializing (with people who aren’t climate nutballs), take up a hobby.

Over the last decade, there has been a surge in research into psychedelic therapies to treat psychiatric illnesses such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Psychedelic medicine-assisted therapy also can support a patient in exploring the enormous and complex feelings associated with eco-anxiety and climate grief. In a study published in 2019, people who had a single experience with psychedelics (mostly psilocybin) were more likely to report feeling a relatedness or connection with nature. Beyond the obvious counterpoint to our often busy and occupied lives, encountering a sense of a larger living process can help us remember the preciousness and impermanence of this life and our planet.

The author mentions they prescribe ketamine, which can act as a psychedelic. Is this really a good idea, giving people psychedelics? Should people just drop acid or take mushrooms (a bad idea unless you know exactly where they came from. They lose their power quickly, and may be dusted with Angel Dust)? Where does it go from here? People staying in a constant stoned state using marijuana and THC derivatives?

Afternoon update: I ran across this via Yahoo News from the AP

As U.S. doctors scale back their use of opioid painkillers, a new option for hard-to-treat pain is taking root: ketamine, the decades-old surgical drug that is now a trendy psychedelic therapy.

Prescriptions for ketamine have soared in recent years, driven by for-profit clinics and telehealth services offering the medication as a treatment for pain, depression, anxiety and other conditions. The generic drug can be purchased cheaply and prescribed by most physicians and some nurses, regardless of their training.

With limited research on its effectiveness against pain, some experts worry the U.S. may be repeating mistakes that gave rise to the opioid crisis: overprescribing a questionable drug that carries significant safety and abuse risks.

Huh. Drugs shouldn’t be played with.

Migrants In Germany Forcing Day Care To Drop Anne Frank Name

By William Teach November 6, 2023 – 7:00 am

In a sane world the powers that be would have told the migrants “if you do not get it, well, you should take the time to learn why the name is important. Or just ignore it. And, if you do not like it, there are plenty of ways to leave Germany”

After migrant parent pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed – report

Parents in Saxony-Anhalt German State promoted the decision to rename the “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, a small town in the state, according to reports in German media.

The move was driven by parents who found it difficult to explain Frank’s significance to their children. According to Apollo News, a German news site, in a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, a daycare center has become the center of a local scandal.

The “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, which has been operating for generations, is set to undergo a name change. The decision to rename the daycare center, named after the most famous Jewish girl, has sparked controversy.

The idea of changing of name of Frank, who tragically died in a concentration camp at the age of 15, has come from migrant parents, according to the daycare center’s director. “It is reported that parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children,” the report said.

That’s a “them” problem. Or, should be

City officials, on the other hand, remained steadfast in their decision to change the name. According to the report, the renaming is part of a broader concept that aims to celebrate the diversity of the children attending the daycare center, according to Andreas Brohm, the city’s mayor.

The BILD newspaper added “Ultimately, the parents and employees wanted a name that was more ‘child-friendly’ and ‘better suited to their concept.’ Their needs are more important than the global political situation.”

I’m thinking there will be new city officials after the next election. Seriously, the town has a population of around 11,000, almost all German. How many migrants are there which force this kind of change?

According to the report,  Frank no longer aligned with the “new focus on diversity.” Brohm stated that the desires of many parents to rename the daycare center held more weight than the global political situation.

Which parents? Where are they from? A goodly chunk of those migrants in Europe are coming from Muslim countries in Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia. How can the name of Anne Frank no longer align with the new focus on diversity? Who are these city officials trying to bend the knee to?

It’s an invasion, and they expect the Western nations and people to change for them. And, that was Saturday night. Meanwhile at home

(Patch) On Wednesday, the sector announced it experienced “unprecedented activity” this past fiscal year that ended September 30. In total, the sector had 230,941 encounters, “a level of activity not seen in over two decades,” according to the USBP. The figure is up from the previous fiscal year when agents encountered 176,290 people. (snip)

According to the USBP figures, the San Diego Sector seized 1,285 pounds of fentanyl, 2,100 pounds of cocaine, 111 pounds of heroin, and 1,802 pounds of methamphetamine during the last fiscal year.

The fentanyl total surpassed the previous San Diego Sector record by over 200 pounds, and represented 45% of the fentanyl seized by agents working across the entire southwest border, according to the USBP.

The DEA says one kilogram can kill around 500,000 people. One kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds. What was seized was 582.86 kilograms. So, that can kill 291,430,000 people. How much fentanyl made it through? All because of Biden’s fecklessness. If Trump was leaving the borders open like this the Democrats would have impeached him.

NY Times Seems Upset That Jews Find Refuge At Fox News

By William Teach November 5, 2023 – 7:00 am

I can’t understand why Jews would want to avoid such revered news outlets like the NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, and CBS News. Nor MSNBC, LA Times, CNN, BBC, etc

The NY Times editorial board is pimping a “humanitarian pause“, which only helps Hamas. Here’s the Washington Post pimping the viewpoint from an Islamist: ‘I’m still alive. Gaza is no longer Gaza.’ How many of the news outlets immediately took the side of Hamas with the hospital bombing, not waiting for actual facts, because they wanted to Blame Israel and those Jews? How many have listened to hardcore Islamists and terrorist apologists? Imagine what would happen if a Republican was coming down on the side of Hamas: they’d be roasted. But, these same outlets refuse to condemn, and mostly ignore, the anti-Semetism coming from Democrats, especially ones like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of The Squad

Jewish Viewers Find a Refuge in Fox News

Ross Abramson, a software engineer and recent New York University graduate, had a fairly conventional news diet until recently. He regularly checked his phone for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. And as a Jew with an interest in Israel, he would browse a handful of outlets like The Times of Israel.

Then the brutal Hamas-led attack on Israel happened on Oct. 7, and Mr. Abramson found himself turning to an outlet he said he didn’t rely on much before: Fox News.

“Did I watch it religiously before? No,” he said, adding that he found Fox’s reporting and commentary on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza “less antagonistic for sure” than that of other news organizations. “You don’t feel as attacked,” Mr. Abramson said.

Fox News, long a preferred source of news for the right, has lately become an information refuge for some American Jews who believe that the mainstream media has been too hostile to Israel.

Well, gee wiz, I can’t imagine why Jews would feel that the leftist Credentialed Media would be hostile towards Israel and Jews.

It’s somewhat of an improbable alliance. Jews overwhelmingly identify as Democrats. And as the Republican Party came to embrace a more populist brand of politics that vilifies “globalist” corporate interests and wealthy liberal businessmen like George Soros — something many see as coded antisemitism — Fox News hosts and guests promoted those views.

Well, they weren’t paying attention the ever-growing Jew hatred from their fellow Democrats nor how Democrats were sympathizing with Islamic extremists.

But more than any of the other major cable news channels — and perhaps more than any other major American media outlet — Fox News has wrapped itself in the Israeli flag in the weeks since the Hamas attack. Its coverage tends to emphasize the radical and antisemitic elements of the pro-Palestinian opposition, particularly on college campuses, while playing down the civilian casualties from Israeli strikes.

Fox has always been pro-Israel and anti-jihadist. The NY Times just doesn’t seem to understand that they themselves have pushed Jews away.

Since September, Fox News’s audience has grown by a larger percentage than CNN and MSNBC in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington and Miami. And in the New York market — the nation’s largest — Fox has lately beaten its left-leaning rival, MSNBC, by a few percentage points. In September, Fox was drawing 16 percent fewer viewers than MSNBC in New York.

Why would they want to watch a network that bashes Israel and takes the side of the Palestinians who want to annihilate Israel and the Jews? Fox shows what the actual meaning and intent of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators is. Are you getting the intent of the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” from all those Credentialed Media sources? Are they showing you the Jew hatred? No? It won’t happen, but, perhaps outlets like the NY Times should look at how their coverage is biased against Israel and Jews, and pro-Islamist.

More: So, there was a big demonstration in D.C., and many other US cities

And the pro-Hamas forces vandalized the White House gate and wrote anti-Jew, anti-Israel, and took our call of Fuck Joe Biden. I’m sure the NY Times covered this, along with other outlets, right?

  • NY Times: A Snapshot of Support for Palestinians Across America
  • ABC News: Thousands of protesters gather in DC to call for a cease-fire in Gaza
  • NPR: Tens of thousands gather for pro-Palestinian march in D.C. to demand Gaza cease-fire
  • CNN: Pro-Palestine protests in DC and across the US call for a ceasefire
  • UK Guardian: ‘No ceasefire, no votes’: tens of thousands attend pro-Palestinian rally in Washington DC
  • USA Today: Demonstrators protest for Palestinian rights in Washington DC
  • Washington Post: Protest marches from US to Berlin call for immediate halt to Israeli bombing of Gaza (they’re literally a D.C. paper, and their story, which I had to dig for, not on front page, is by the AP)

CBS News and NBC News? If they have something, it’s buried. Good on Insider for covering the vile calls for killing Jews and ending Israel (actually, no. When I flipped back to the article it was replaced). So, yeah, NY Times, it’s shocking that Jews are moving away from the mostly left leaning, and apparently pro-Hamas and anti-Jew, Credentialed Media and to those who are actually showing what’s going on.

UN Working Hard To Turn Climate Crisis (scam) Into Health Issue

By William Teach November 4, 2023 – 3:00 pm

There’s obviously been a push to redefine global boiling as a global health issue. Why? Because so many nations have socialized medicine, meaning government controls people’s healthcare, and people will be forced to comply with what government dictates. And now the UN has fully jumped in

We must fight one of the world’s biggest health threats: climate change

In the face of one of the greatest health threats for humanity, the urgent need to implement measures addressing climate change remains a compelling, yet unrealized goal.

Climate change is happening now and its impacts are being felt around the globe. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that a staggering one in four deaths can be attributed to preventable environmental causes and climate change is exacerbating these risks.

Sherman Potter Bull Cookies

Estimates = they can’t prove it. Exacerbating = they’re making it up.

Climate change poses a multitude of complex health challenges, from extreme weather events to the spread of infectious diseases and the exacerbation of chronic conditions. It cannot be prevented with a vaccine, or treated with an antibiotic. But we know that we can mitigate its impacts.

Is the answer Warmists practicing what they preach? UN wankers going Net Zero in their own lives?

The connection between health and climate change is obvious. Now the international community must accelerate the energy transition away from fossil fuels and simultaneously build resilience.

What the global community must understand is that investing in climate resilience at a local level pays dividends. The World Bank estimates that every dollar spent on building climate resilience will bring an average return of US$4, as better-quality health and wider infrastructure benefit communities and have lasting impacts over multiple sectors.

And how does that happen? Government tyranny. Perhaps the UN should forgo their big climate scam meeting, where tens of thousands take fossil fueled trips, including hundreds if not thousands taking private jets that need to be deadheaded (fly without passengers) to other airports to park.

Oh, and redistributing lots and lots of money from the peasants, because these rich Warmists will never use their own money.
