Suddenly, Reuters Is Upset That Pro-Hamas Agitators Are Being Named And Shamed

By William Teach May 12, 2024 – 7:00 am

The pro-Hamas dhimmis, who are part of the leftist crew that is usually happy to name and shame those who oppose Leftist causes, aren’t particularly happy about it either

Name and shame: Pro-Israel website ramps up attacks on pro-Palestinian student protesters

unintended consequencesWeeks after attending a pro-Palestinian demonstration, Egyptian-American student Layla Sayed received a text message from a friend drawing her attention to a website dedicated to exposing people it says promote hatred of Jews and Israel.

“I think they found you from the protest,” the friend wrote.

When Sayed visited the site, called Canary Mission, she found a photo from the Oct. 16 rally at the University of Pennsylvania with red arrows pointing to her among the demonstrators. The post included her name, the two cities she lives in, details about her studies and links to her social media accounts.

Canary Mission later posted a photo of her on its X and Instagram accounts labeled “Hamas War Crimes Apologist,” a reference to the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel in which around 1,200 people were killed and 253 taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.

Bummer

Although Sayed has long supported Palestinian causes, she said it was the first time she had participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Penn, and Canary Mission did not flag any other activities.

“My initial reaction was just absolute shock,” Sayed, a 20-year-old sophomore, told Reuters. “I wasn’t there to say I supported Hamas. I wasn’t there to say I hated Israel. I was there to say what’s happening in Palestine is wrong.”

She said she did not realize at the time that a chant Canary Mission took issue with, “When people are occupied, resistance is justified,” is considered by some as an expression of support for Hamas’ killings. She joined in the chants, she said, to show support for demonstrations.

First, why is she upset that she was exposed? She was in public, she took a public stand, and had no shame being there. Second, if you’re going to take up a chant it might be wise to understand what you are chanting. The context. The meaning. That’s on you, chump.

Canary Mission is one of the oldest and most prominent of several digital advocacy groups that have intensified campaigns to expose Israel’s critics since the war broke out, often leading to harassment such as Sayed experienced. The people behind the site have kept their identities, location and funding sources hidden.

Reuters reviewed online attacks and abusive messages directed at scores of people targeted by Canary Mission since Oct. 7.

The site has accused over 250 U.S. students and academics of supporting terrorism or spreading antisemitism and hatred of Israel since the start of the latest Gaza conflict, according to the Reuters review of its posts. Some are leading members of Palestinian rights groups or were arrested for offenses such as blocking traffic and punching a Jewish student. Others, like Sayed, said they had just stepped into campus activism and were not charged with any crimes.

Reuters is very upset that a group would do this. Doesn’t Canary Mission understand this right is reserved for the Credentialed Media and should only be used against those who go against Credentialed Media beliefs?

This is a very long piece, worth the read, and, it really just comes down to “if you’re chanting anti-Jew slogans, if you’re propagating material calling for the destruction of Israel and replacing it with a Palestinian caliphate state run by a terrorist organization, if you’re truly taking the side of Israel, and just being a Jew hater, calling for a global intifada, wearing an Intifada keffiyeh, well, that makes you a terrorist nation supporter and a believer in genocide of the Jews and should be exposed. You put yourself in the public arena, even if you tried to wear a mask to hide your extremist beliefs.”

Seriously, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech from interference by the government. It doesn’t guarantee that you can exercise this right without consequences. If you’ll notice, none of the people who wrote and signed the Bill Of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution hid their faces.

If the college students, who are adults, and the teachers do not know what they are wearing, chanting, and what their signs mean, well, that’s on them. You can bet if it was a bunch of Republican college kids agitating for a terrorist group Reuters would be working hard to expose them, just like with the J6 crowd.

UN Warns World On Edge Of Climate Abyss Or Something

By William Teach May 11, 2024 – 6:54 pm

Is there some big climate conference coming up? Usually the UN doesn’t make these dire prognostications of ruination unless there is a conference coming up. Or, it could be due to many polls showing that people are caring less about Doing Something because inflation is rocking the 1st world and the cost of food and everything is hurting their pocketbooks. Including energy, for which the climate scam actions are exasperating the costs

‘The stakes could not be higher’: world is on edge of climate abyss, UN warns

The world is on the verge of a climate abyss, the UN has warned, in response to a Guardian survey that found that hundreds of the world’s foremost climate experts expect global heating to soar past the international target of 1.5C.

A series of leading climate figures have reacted to the findings, saying the deep despair voiced by the scientists must be a renewed wake-up call for urgent and radical action to stop burning fossil fuels and save millions of lives and livelihoods. Some said the 1.5C target was hanging by a thread, but it was not yet inevitable that it would be passed, if an extraordinary change in the pace of climate action could be achieved.

The Guardian got the views of almost 400 senior authors of reports by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Almost 80% expected a rise of at least 2.5C above preindustrial levels, a catastrophic level of heating, while only 6% thought it would stay within the 1.5C limit. Many expressed their personal anguish at the lack of climate action.

If they have this much despair and anguish perhaps they should live a net zero life, and convince their climate cult brethren to do the same, and leave the rest of us the fuck alone. Stop trying to be Fascists, stop trying to get government to be Authoritarian, and practice what they preach

“The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C is hanging by a thread,” said the official spokesperson for António Guterres, the UN secretary general. “The battle to keep 1.5C alive will be won or lost in the 2020s – under the watch of political and industry leaders today. They need to realise we are on the verge of the abyss. The science is clear and so are the world’s scientists: the stakes for all humanity could not be higher.”

I don’t usually curse when blogging, but, they can fuck right off.

Brandon’s DOJ Sues Iowa Over Illegal Alien Law

By William Teach May 11, 2024 – 10:30 am

Remember the old debate around Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” law? In that, illegal alien supporters stated that state government’s could not be tougher than federal law. So, what’s the complaint with Iowa’s law, which essentially does what the federal government law does?

Iowa law lets police arrest migrants. The federal government and civil rights groups are suing

Americans before illegalsThe U.S. Justice Department sued Iowa on Thursday over its new law that would give the state the authority to arrest and deport some migrants, making it the second lawsuit filed in a single day that seeks to block legislation passed earlier this year by state lawmakers.

Both the Justice Department’s lawsuit and another suit filed by civil rights and immigrant rights groups argued the state law was preempted by federal law and should be declared invalid.

“Iowa cannot disregard the U.S. Constitution and settled Supreme Court precedent,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, said in a statement. “We have brought this action to ensure that Iowa adheres to the framework adopted by Congress and the Constitution for regulation of immigration.”

The Justice Department lawsuit was filed on the same day the ACLU of Iowa, national ACLU and the American Immigration Council filed suit to to block the law on behalf of the Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice and two individual Iowans.

Iowa should send any illegal caught to the DOJ building in D.C. Drop some off outside Boynton’s house. And outside the buildings of the national ACLU and AIC. Let them all enjoy the fruits of their beliefs.

“This ugly law is deeply harmful to Iowa families and communities,” said Rita Bettis Austen, legal director of The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. “Iowa lawmakers knowingly targeted people who are protected by federal immigration laws and who are legally allowed to be here.”

Only about 10% will actually qualify for asylum. Many of them illegally crossed the border before declaring asylum. And how many are simply young, fighting age males, not women and children? What if Iowans do not want illegal aliens bringing their 3rd world values, their violence, drugs, crime, and prostitution? Let Biden ship them to states and cities that are declared illegal alien sanctuaries.

The federal lawsuit states that because the Constitution assigns the task of regulating immigration and managing international borders to federal government, the state law should not be enforced.

The law also states that Congress must protect the U.S. from invasion. They’re not doing the job. Democrats, and some squish Republicans, have created a situation where illegals are streaming into the U.S., and they usually aren’t the best people. Iowa should just deport the illegals to D.C., along with other sanctuary areas. Nothing illegal about deporting to another state, right? Why should Iowa have to deal with them? Why should their citizens have to deal with them? Why should the tax dollars of Iowa have to pay for them?

Hollywood Is Forgetting To Put ‘Climate Change’ In Movies Or Something

By William Teach May 11, 2024 – 7:00 am

Hollywood is already having enough problems in putting out good movies that people want to see. People are leery about paying all the money to go see movies that can have all sorts of Woke garbage in them. And that the ideas are pretty repetitive. So, hey, yeah, let’s add climate cult business into it

Lights, camera … climate? Report finds Hollywood is depicting a world without climate change

Remember that scene in 2022?s “Top Gun: Maverick,” when Tom Cruise’s character suddenly has to navigate a climate change-fueled storm? Or in the latest “Scream” movie, when the teens are hiding from the killer in a field of solar panels?

No? Right, that’s because they never happened.

Across Hollywood, the most popular films from 2013 to 2022 largely ignored climate change, despite its growing presence across everyday life — from the effects (extreme weather) to the response to it (electric vehicles, solar panels, and more).

Researchers from Colby College and Good Energy, a nonprofit that helps storytellers portray climate change on-screen, put together a new report and devised what they’re calling a “Climate Reality Check,” similar to the Bechdel-Wallace Test, which assesses whether women get equal screen time. This test, however, asks: Does climate change, as a concept, exist in the film? And does a main character acknowledge it?

Only a small percentage of films passed the exam.

And what, pray tell, picture do they use for the article?

Yeah, they really included a frozen world from the Day After Tomorrow. Because heating causes an ice age.

“I can pretty confidently say that most major studios and networks and streamers are interested in this effort and exploring it,” said Ellis Watamanuk, senior director of the Entertainment Lab at Rare, an international conservation organization that focuses on behavioral science to push for change.

Watamanuk works with filmmakers and TV producers to think about creative ways to infuse climate change into their stories. The idea isn’t to churn out story upon story that’s explicitly about climate change, he said. Rather, it’s finding ways to infuse existing stories, from courtroom dramas to ghost-hunting reality shows, with storylines or examples of the realities of climate change confronting people.

Sigh. It always ends up blatant and has people giving Speeches, destroying the flow of the movie. But, hey, have fun watching your business dry up.

Israel Hating UN Votes To Revive Membership Bid For Palestinians

By William Teach May 11, 2024 – 6:45 am

So, um, what actual nation would this be?

UN assembly approves resolution granting Palestine new rights and reviving its UN membership bid

The U.N. General Assembly voted by a wide margin on Friday to grant new “rights and privileges” to Palestine and called on the Security Council to reconsider Palestine’s request to become the 194th member of the United Nations.

The 193-member world body approved the Arab and Palestinian-sponsored resolution by a vote of 143-9 with 25 abstentions. The United States voted against the resolution, along with Israel, Argentina, Czechia, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Papua New Guinea.

The vote reflected the wide global support for full membership of Palestine in the United Nations, with many countries expressing outrage at the escalating death toll in Gaza and fears of a major Israeli offensive in Rafah, a southern city where about 1.3 million Palestinians have sought refuge.

But while it gives Palestine some new rights and privileges, it reaffirms that it remains a non-member observer state without the right to vote in the General Assembly or at any of its conferences. And the United States has made clear that it will block Palestinian membership and statehood until direct negotiations with Israel resolve key issues, including security, boundaries and the future of Jerusalem.

The Palestinians could have their own nation in Gaza if they’d kick Hamas out, stop attacking Israel, and just be peaceful.

Under the U.N. Charter, prospective members of the United Nations must be “peace-loving” and the Security Council must recommend their admission to the General Assembly for final approval. Palestine became a U.N. non-member observer state in 2012.

But unlike in the Security Council, there are no vetoes in the General Assembly. The resolution required a two-thirds majority of members voting and got significantly more than the 118 vote minimum.

The resolution “determines” that a state of Palestine is qualified for membership — dropping the original language that in the General Assembly’s judgment it is “a peace-loving state.” It therefore recommends that the Security Council reconsider its request “favorably.”

In other words, the UN knows that Palestinians are anything but peace-loving. Just like all the Arab nations won’t take the Palestinians in because they are problematic.

Under longstanding legislation by the U.S. Congress, the United States is required to cut off funding to U.N. agencies that give full membership to a Palestinian state, which could mean a cutoff in dues and voluntary contributions to the U.N. from its largest contributor.

I’m sure Biden will find a way around that.

These are the 25 who abstained

Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Fiji, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Paraguay, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and Vanuatu.

It’s disappointing. Even more disappointing in Australia voting to legitimize the terrorists. As well as Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Spain, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Denmark, France, and Poland. You’d think those last three would understand the danger of legitimizing essentially Nazis.

Wackjob Climate Cultists Break Glass Around Magna Carta, Glue Themselves

By William Teach May 10, 2024 – 3:00 pm

They admit it. This will be prosecution evidence A. No need for anything else

Wackos

(UK Independent) Reverend Dr Sue Parfitt, 82, an active Anglican priest, author, and retired psychotherapist from Bristol, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher from Swansea then glued themselves to the cabinet.

Basically, they enjoyed the benefits of fossil fuels for 80+ years, but, now they have issues with it.

The pair held signs which read “The government is breaking the law”, and could be heard saying: “Is the government above the law?”

The ‘Great Charter’ is an essential foundation for the contemporary powers of Parliament.

Ms Parfitt said: “The Magna Carta is rightly revered, being of great importance to our history, to our freedoms and to our laws. But there will be no freedom, no lawfulness, no rights, if we allow climate breakdown to become the catastrophe that is now threatened.”

“We must get things in proportion. The abundance of life on earth, the climate stability that allows civilisation to continue is what must be revered and protected above all else, even above our most precious artefacts.”

Does it say anywhere in there that government must pass laws to further increase their power over the lives of Citizens for this anti-science cult belief? The two nutters were arrested for criminal damage, which may rise to the level of what we call a felony. That glass is not cheap, and it could cause damage to the Magna Carta during replacement. The British criminal justice system, including judges, have become less and less tolerant of this cult insanity.

GOP Draws Up Impeachment Articles Over Biden Withholding Israel Aid

By William Teach May 10, 2024 – 10:30 am

This would be aid that was already appropriated. And for all those saying “oh, come on, stop”, well, we warned you and Democrats when Democrats did this to Trump

Articles of Impeachment Drawn over Biden’s Withholding of Israeli Aid for Political Reasons

Articles to impeach President Joe Biden over his decision to withhold aid to Israel for political reasons are in preparation, freshman Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) announced Thursday.

Biden’s decision to withhold bombs from Israel is concerning due to its political implications. Biden’s base wants him to defund Israel, while many moderate Democrats support Israel’s ability to defend itself against terrorists. Biden appears stuck between competing coalitions during an election year. He currently trails in the polls to Trump and has a historically low approval rating to win reelection as an incumbent.

Democrats accused former President Donald Trump in 2019 of withholding military aid from Ukraine for alleged political reasons.

“These are the same accusations made against President Trump, which resulted in his impeachment by Democrats. The same must happen for Joe Biden, which is why we’re drawing up articles of impeachment now,” Mills told Fox News.

Impeachment proceedings already have some support. “The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) posted on X. “Only with Biden, it’s true.”

Why does Biden want to protect Hamas? That’s what he’s doing, along with pandering to his pro-Hamas and anti-Jew voters

(Fox News) “The House has no choice but to impeach President ‘Quid pro Joe’ Biden. As Vice President, Biden was caught threatening to withhold funding and aid to Ukraine unless they fired the attorney general investigating Burisma, a company financially benefiting his son Hunter, not to mention the 10% share for ‘the big guy’ himself,” Mills said in a statement.

“Now, Joe Biden is pressuring Israel, our biggest ally in the Middle East, by pausing their funding that has already been approved in the House, if they don’t stop all operations with Hamas. It’s a very clear message, ‘this for that.’”

Israel is in a hot war against a U.S. State Department designated terrorist group, one which kicked this all off with their attack on civilians, killing over a 1,00o, torturing them, raping them, dragging their naked bodies through the streets, beheading children, and Biden wants to protect Hamas. So, yeah, the standard was set by Democrats and a few unhinged, TDS infused Republicans when they impeached Trump. Unsurprisingly, the major Democrat news outlets are mostly ignoring this, because then they’d have to point out that Democrats did the same thing, even though there was no quid pro quo on Trump’s part when it came to withholding aid from Ukraine.

The question now is, will Biden backtrack on the aid as Israel goes into Rafah? Will the GOP fast-track this impeachment if Joe withholds the allocated aid? If so, does this help or hurt Biden?

Germans, Europeans Way More Concerned Over Immigration Than Climate Doom

By William Teach May 10, 2024 – 7:00 am

I bet all the elites who had been pushing climate doom as a way of taking more money from the peasants along with their freedom and life choices didn’t see this coming when they decided to allow mass immigration of people who have zero in common with the citizens and not only have zero interest in assimilating but expect the host countries to change for the immigrants

Germans fear migration more than climate change, study finds

Europe has seen a sharp rise in the share of people who say that reducing immigration should be a top government priority, according to a study published Wednesday. Germany is topping the list.

At the same time, there was less desire to prioritize fighting climate change in the same countries, according to the survey commissioned by the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation think tank.

Since 2022, an increasing number of Europeans say their government should prioritize “reducing immigration,” rising from just under 20% to a quarter.

Meanwhile, concern about climate change was on the slide across the continent.

“In 2024, for the first time, reducing immigration is a greater priority for most Europeans than fighting climate change,” the report said.

How much?

“Nowhere is this reversal more striking than in Germany, which now leads the world with the highest share of people who want their government to focus on reducing immigration — topping all other priorities — and now nearly twice as high as fighting climate change,” the report read.

About a quarter of Germans cited immigration as their main priority in 2022, which rose to 44% in the 2024 survey. About a third were most concerned about climate change two years ago, falling below the 25% mark this time.

Germans are on the front row of letting in people from 3rd world and Islamists who won’t learn the language, won’t learn the culture, and create their own little communities rife with crime and violence. And then they spread that diversity and multiculturalism out to the German citizens with assault, rape, murder, theft, etc.

On page 25 of that poll, good news for Warmists: climate change was not last. It was next to last, right before promote gender equality. Immigration is the next most important. In Germany, Netherlands, France, UK, and Norway, their concern for immigration has gone way up while caring about ‘climate change’ has gone down. The Elites created this situation, when they had a good thing going with their climate scame.
