The New York Times on Saturday published an op-ed piece glorifying Louis Farrakhan’s Million Man March and failed to mention the Nation of Islam’s anti-Semitism, prompting former staffer Bari Weiss to condemn the newspaper for presenting him as a “gentleman” and for ignoring “Jew hate.”
“Today the New York Times ran an oped about the Million Man March and Louis Farrakhan. If you read the oped and knew nothing about Farrakhan, you would think he was a gentleman,” Weiss, a former editor and writer for the NYT’s op-ed page, tweeted .
“When The Times ran the infamous anti-Semitic cartoon, the issue was not that editors were hardened anti-Semites. It’s that they didn’t even *notice* it. This shouldn’t surprise. It’s part of a worldview in which Jew hate does not count,” she said, referring to a cartoon published last year showing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a seeing-eye dog leading a blind President Trump .
The Times eventually capitulated to pressure and acknowledged that the graphic contained anti-Semitic tropes.
Weiss went on to quote some of Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic vitriol.
“Pedophilia and sexual perversion institutionalized in Hollywood and the entertainment industries can be traced to Talmudic principles and Jewish influence. Not Jewish influence, Satanic influence under the name of Jew,” Farrakhan said last year
. The op-ed coincided with the 25 th anniversary of the Million Man March, in which Farrakhan delivered a two-and-a-half-hour address.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper also retweeted Weiss, noting , “The late great John Lewis didn’t participate in the Million Man March because Farrakhan had made comments that were ‘divisive and bigoted.’”
Columnist Ira Stoll points to previous Times editorial page editor, James Bennet, who was fired after publishing an op-ed from Senator Tom Cotton calling on President Trump to “Send in the Troops” to quash the riots plaguing the U.S. in June. In that case, a Times editors’ note confessed the piece “should not have been published” and that the paper “failed to offer appropriate additional context — either in the text or the presentation — that could have helped readers place Senator Cotton’s views within a larger framework of debate.”
“Where is the “additional context” about the Million Man March or its leader? It’s absent, other than in the tweets of former Times editorial page employee Weiss,” Stoll writes.
He goes on to note the Times ‘ hypocrisy for publishing an editorial a day before the Farrakhan one denouncing President Trump for “toxic rhetoric” and “vile language” and “crude insults.” The editorial declared, “Mr. Trump doesn’t just mock his enemies. He demonizes and dehumanizes them.”
Stoll writes: “The same could be said of Farrakhan, but when he does it, the Times headline writers cheer him on for his ‘great feat.'”New York Times in July, accusing the newspaper of deferring to Twitter as its ultimate editor .

Outcry
over Louis Farrakhan Rant Calling Prominent Jews Including Alan Dershowitz
‘Satan’
9 Jul 2020 627
4:04
Notorious antisemite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
live-streamed a three-hour Independence Day rant on YouTube where he calls prominent
Jewish Americans, including Jonathan Greenblatt and Alan
Dershowitz, “Satan,” as well as repeating the lie Israel was behind
George Floyd’s killing.
The Combat Anti-Semitism
Movement (CAM) on Wednesday called on YouTube to remove the video, saying it
was “in clear contravention of YouTube’s own policies on hate speech.”
Farrakhan’s Fourth of July
address also aired Saturday on Revolt
TV,
Everyone
can watch… Just not the scared ones.
— Diddy (@Diddy) July 4,
2020
In the address, the
87-year-old Nation of Islam leader called the head of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL), Jonathan Greenblatt, “Satan.”
“Mr. Greenblatt, you are
Satan. Those of you that say that you’re Jews, I will not even give you the
honor of calling you a Jew. You are not a Jew… you are Satan and it is my job
now to pull the cover off of Satan so that every Muslim when he sees Satan,
pick up a stone, as we do in Mecca,” Farrakhan said.
“When you know who Satan is,
you don’t have to kill him [but] the stone of truth, that’s what you throw. We
cast truth at falsehood till we knock out its brains,” he continued.
He also called Jewish
renowned defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz “a skillful deceiver” and “Satan
masquerading as a lawyer.”
Farrakhan also implicated
Israel in the death of George Floyd and in police violence in general.
“That’s why you gotta come at
us like a coward,” he said. “Like snakes trying to wrap yourself around us so
you could give us the treatment that you were taught in Israel. You may, as you
gonna stop your police from going to Israel to learn how to kill better.”
“Your days of killing us
without consequence are over,” he added.
Greenblatt took to Twitter to
respond to Farrakhan’s “trademark antisemitism.”
“This is routine for
Farrakhan- give him a platform, he never fails to espouse hatred,” Greenblatt
said.
CAM Director Sacha
Roytman-Dratwa wrote
in a letter addressed to Matt Halprin, YouTube’s vice president of
global trust and safety:
Louis Farrakhan has a long
history of antisemitism, incorporating it into the very legitimate, important
fight for civil rights and equality. His perversion of these values by
promoting hatred and dehumanization of Jews is quite simply unacceptable.
According to CAM, by allowing
the video, which has garnered nearly 900,000 views in three days, to remain on
its site, “YouTube is allowing him to hijack the worthy cause of racial justice
and use the video sharing site as a platform for anti-Semitism.”
“[Farrakhan] even suggested
the Jewish community seeks to kill him, saying, ‘If you [Jews] make that move,
I can guarantee your destruction,'” the letter reads.
In his address, Farrakhan
bizarrely attempted to disavow accusations of antisemitism.
“They tell lies to make you
think I am a bigot or antisemite, so that you won’t listen to what I’m saying.
So far they’ve been pretty successful,” he said.
“If you really think I hate
the Jewish people, you don’t know me at all. [I’ve never] uttered the words of
death to the Jewish people,” he went on.
In the past his
rancorous antisemitic rants have included calling
Jews members of the “Synagogue of Satan” and claiming Jesus called the Jews
“the children of the devil.”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper,
associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said he was not
surprised by Farrakhan’s remarks.
“At this stage of history, no
one can be surprised by the rants of America’s Godfather of antisemitism,” he
told The Algemeiner .
Cooper also condemned
Farrakhan’s “lurid antisemitic conspiracy linking the Jewish state to the death
of George Floyd.”

Farrakhan’s history of hateful rhetoric is well-documented. In
2018, he compared Jews to
termites. That same year, he drew criticism for defending the use of
the phrase “death to America” during a conversation with students in Iran.
The main FOX network launched Fox Soul in January in
an effort to reach African American audiences — and to reach beyond the
conservative branding of Fox News. Fox Soul offers four hours of streaming
programing daily.

Black Lives Matter: Not Just
Communist, But Viciously Anti-Semitic Too No matter the color of
their skin, Jews are going to be labeled “white.”
June 29, 2020
Clare M. Lopez
By the time violent rioters
tore through the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Fairfax, Los Angeles on the
night of Saturday May 30, 2020, it was too late. The vicious antisemitic,
anti-Israel language of the M4BL and Black Lives Matter’s demands that included
accusations against Israel of “ apartheid ” and “ genocide ” had been brushed
aside. Black Lives Matter (BLM) delegations had traveled to the Middle East to endorse Palestinian
terrorists in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria and pose for photo ops with the Palestinian flag . Statements
from delegation leaders spoke of “ occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality ” that Israel supposedly has perpetrated against the region’s
Arab-Muslim population.
Even when city after city
across America went up in flames after the May 25, 2020 killing of African-American
George Floyd in Minneapolis by a white police officer, with BLM ‘protesters’
assaulting private businesses, their owners, and law enforcement officers
alike, smashing store fronts, setting fires, and destroying property, some
among America’s Jewish leadership could hardly get their statements of support
out fast enough. Jewish American organizations, the Reform Movement, rabbinical
leadership figures, progressive and Zionist activists, even the Hasidic
Community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn in New York City all practically fell over
one another in their haste to endorse the BLM movement.
The Jewish Federation of Santa Barbara was no different. On June 13, 2020, the group – including,
among others, the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara, ADL Santa Barbara
Tri-Counties, Santa Barbara Congregation of B’nai B’rith and Santa Barbara
Hillel – issued a statement to condemn “racism” and “institutional
biases.” The Focus Project , whose online
website is remarkably empty, disseminated a set of talking points on June
16, 2020 that appear to date from September 2019. An increasingly popular trope
is included among them that distorts the ancient Jewish term ‘Tikkun Olam’ Tikkun Olam Aleinu Tikkun
Olam’ md’oraita mitzvot Halacha Tikkun Olam mitzvot
Now, just as ‘perfecting of
one’s personal behavior before the Almighty’ has nothing to do with the social
justice narrative per se, neither does it have anything to do with supporting a
communist/Marxist, pro-Maoist organization, one of whose BLM co-founders’ declaration of the group’s
Marxist ideology was featured on Twitter just days ago. Yes, the BLM movement
was founded by three
African-American women with longtime Marxist backgrounds: Alicia Garza, Opal I.
Tometi, and Patrisse M. Cullors. Its original Platform (issued in August
2016, but scrubbed up a bit in its more
recent iteration ) called for collective
ownership of all resources, the breaking up of banks, redistribution of wealth
by way of confiscatory taxes on ‘high earners,’ free health care, and free
education. Truly, Karl Marx would have blushed.
But back to the question of how
BLM rioters came to be rampaging through Jewish neighborhoods of Los Angeles,
CA, reportedly shouting “ F___Jews ”, and spray painting “ F___Israel ” and “ Free Palestine ” on the walls
of the Congregation Beth Israel and at least four other synagogues. How did
Jews come to be collectivized into the enemy “white privilege proletariat”
class by these BLM Marxists?
That original BLM Platform
also explicitly supports the BDS (Boycott,
Divest, and Sanction) movement. Another indicator comes from Cullors (who
organized the 30 May pogrom in LA): she reportedly told a New York Times Let’s go into the heart of what is symbolically white in Los
Angeles, which is Beverly Hills…These people need to hear our pain and our
grief. We wanted to bring this to communities who often aren’t dealing with
police violence .” No matter the color of their
skin, therefore, Jews are going to be labeled “white”—as a pejorative from
which it is always going to be impossible to escape. It goes back farther than
that, however. By 2015, BLM representatives traveled to the Middle East to
make common cause with Palestinians in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. Fast forward to
late May 2020, shortly after the death of George Floyd, and the Democratic
Socialists of America’s BDS national working group blatantly tried to link that
killing to Israel, by claiming that U.S. police forces learned riot control
techniques from Israeli police . Then, on
June 1, Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right of Return Coalition, published a hideous
cartoon at its website showing an Israeli
soldier with his knee on the neck of a keffiyeh’ed Palestinian, arm-in-arm with
an American police officer with his knee on the neck of a black man. The
article it accompanied was entitled “ Al-Awda PRRC statement of solidarity for Black lives and Black
struggle .”
The BLM’s Marxist agenda is on
full display across America today. Exploitation of the insurrectionist riots in
which it plays a leading role to demonize Jews and Israel is, too.
Raymond Ibrahim Interview:
Truth About Islam Must Be Acknowledged How an ideology's
teachings are antithetical to Western values.
Fri Sep 11, 2020
Frontpagemag.com
31
Note: Journalist Niram
Ferretti interviews Raymond Ibrahim, a Shillman Fellow at the Freedom
Center, for the Italian publication, L’Informale (original here ).
Pasted below are excerpts from the English version.
Question: How much is the
concept of jihad intended as holy war, central to the way Islam has interpreted
itself during the centuries?
The concept of jihad was
central from the start—at least according to the earliest Muslim historians who
often portray the first warriors of Allah as being zealously motivated by the
notion of jihad.
Question: The last time
that Islam tried to penetrate Europe through war was on the 12th of
September 1683 at Kalhenberg, near Vienna, where 65.000 thousand Christians
fought against 200,000 Ottoman Turks. For how long after that date did jihad against the
West stopped and when and why was it resumed?
Raids continued for some time,
particularly by sea, and well into the late 1700s, meaning for about a century
after the successful defense of Vienna. Even as the Ottoman Empire was
beginning its slow retreat from eastern Europe, the Muslim slavers of the so-called
Barbary States of North Africa wreaked havoc all along the coasts of
Europe—even as far as Iceland. The United States of America’s first
war—which it fought before it could even elect its first president—was against
these Islamic slavers. When Thomas Jefferson and John Adams asked
Barbary’s ambassador why his countrymen were enslaving American sailors, the
“ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of their Prophet, that
it was written in their Koran, that … it was their right and duty to make war
upon them [non-Muslims] wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all
they could take as prisoners….”
Question: In his seminal
book of 1996, Samuel P. Huntington wrote about Islam and the West the following
sentence, “ Kto? Kovo? Who is to rule? Who is to be ruled? The central issue of politics
defined by Lenin is the root of the contest between Islam and the West”. Do you
agree?
Yes, inasmuch as that Muslims
must always work to make Islam rule over non-Muslims, based on their sharia,
which while allowing for truces and times of peace—particularly when Islam is
weak vis-Ã -vis infidels—also sees the spread of Muslim rule as the culmination
of the Islamic mission that began in the early 630s.
Question: Let us now talk
about your new book, Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and
the West . What has brought you to
write a book focused specifically on the battles which have occurred along the
centuries between Islam and the West?
Yes, as indicated by the title,
the book is a military history between Islam and the West, narrated around
their eight most decisive clashes, the first and last of which occurred more
than a millennium apart. But while the eight battles/sieges form the
centerpieces of the book’s eight chapters, the bulk of the narrative chronologically
traces and tells the general, but much forgotten story of Islam and the West,
most of which of course revolved around warfare—with all the attendant death,
destruction, slavery, and geopolitical demarcations and map rearrangements. We
can say I began working on portions of this book some twenty years ago—since
around 1998-99, when I first started doing academic research for what became my
MA thesis in History: a close examination, including through the original
Arabic and Greek sources, of the battle of Yarmuk—the first major military
encounter between Islam and the Eastern Roman Empire in 636, highlighted in
Chapter 1 of the Sword
and Scimitar
Question: To what extent
is the Islamic terrorism that we are facing today a continuation of the battles
between Islam and the West that you describe in Sword and Scimitar ?
To a very great extent.
Both the motivation and the pattern of terrorist acts are very much mirror
reflections of past Islamic motivations and patterns. In other words,
from the start to finish, the book pages are full of all the ugly words and
deeds committed by modern groups such as the Islamic State—ordering Europeans
to convert to Islam or face the sword; the willful destruction of churches; the
mass slaughter—including by beheading, crucifixion, or burning—of Christian
defenders, and the mass enslavement and rape of Christian women and
children—all of these permeate the pages of my book.
Question: Islam is a way
of life. It is a complete set of ideas and rules which differs deeply from our
Western values. Is there any chance of an accommodation between Islam and
Western societies or this is just wishful thinking?
Can water and oil mix? In
the same manner, pure Islamic teachings and pure Western values are often
antithetical to one another. For example, the West believes in freedom of
religion, whereas in Islam those who seek to apostatize are penalized,
including by death; the West believes in freedom of speech, whereas in Islam
any critical talk concerning Muhammad can get one killed. One can
go on and on but the point should be clear. Of course, a nominal/secular
Muslim may be able to assimilate in a Western society, but that is not a
reflection of Islam, which is hardly nominal but rather a full way of life
based on sharia.
Question: According to you
what are the ways in which Europe on one side and the United States on the
other should face the reality of Islam in such a manner that could be helpful
both for Westerners and Muslims? What are the false assumptions that must be
rejected?
First, the truth must be
acknowledged—including for example the truth that, for well over a millennium,
Muslims invaded European/Christian territory on the same logic that Islamic
terror groups cite—that it is their right to invade, conquer, butcher, and
enslave infidels for no less a reason that because they are non-Muslims.
If this is how Muslims have been behaving for centuries, is there really any
need to find “reasons” why some of them are behaving so now? Are
grievances, territorial disputes, etc., necessary to explain this unwavering
hostility? Once these facts are embraced, the rest, including policy—for
instance, the question of Muslim immigration—should become self-evident.
Question: How inbred is
religious violence in Islam and how it differs from the way in which it is
presented in the Bible and has accompanied Christianity in the course of its
history?
Many apologist for Islam like
to claim that the Bible, especially the Jewish scriptures (or the Old
Testament), is just as if not more bloody and violent than the Koran—so why do
we insist that Muslim violence is rooted to Muslim scriptures? The problem
with comparing violence in the Bible — both Old and New Testaments — with
violence in the Koran is that it conflates history with doctrine. The majority
of violence in the Bible is recorded as history doctrinally Are Judaism and Christianity as Violent as Islam? ” for my most comprehensive and documented treatment of this tired
apologia.
South Florida ‘ISIS’ Imam: 'Jews Behind All Corruption in the Earth' Fadi Kablawi spews venom against Jews, Hindus, Christians, gays and fellow Muslims.
Mon Oct 19, 2020
Joe Kaufman, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative and the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23).
Fadi Kablawi (Qablawi), head imam of the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC) and FBI ‘person of interest,’ is a radical Muslim’s radical. His targets comprise of Jews, Christians, homosexuals, women, Hindus and Muslims, even his fellow radical Muslims. This past July, he made the claim that Jews are behind all the corruption on Earth. He did so, during one of his Friday khutbas (sermons), in front of his congregation, which includes young and impressionable children. At times, he draws large crowds. Will Kablawi’s dangerous rhetoric drive one or more of his followers to commit acts of violence? Has it already?
Fadi Yousef Kablawi, a.k.a. Abu Ubeidah, was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1978. At the age of 17, he moved to the US with his family. After finishing high school, Kablawi attended Florida International University (FIU) for his undergraduate studies and completed his doctoral degree in dental medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania, in 2005. Working alongside his wife, he had a thriving Miami dentistry, until August 2017, when he was arrested for allegedly using his business to overcharge his patients and commit Medicaid fraud . A video news report depicts a somber Kablawi handcuffed and sporting an orange jumpsuit, standing in front of Bond Court judge, Mindy Glazer, who happens to be Jewish.
Incorporated in September 2010, the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC), a.k.a. Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah, is the brainchild of Kablawi. In fact, the mosque’s colorful logo bears the name of Kablawi’s former corporation, al-Tayyib, which is as well the mosque’s website address, altayyib.com. A children’s school, Reviver Academy, shares the identical North Miami location of the mosque. According to Kablawi, he created the school in order to provide a pure and unfiltered form of Islam for the kids. Photos and video footage from the school show the children using the same area of the mosque where Kablawi emits his hate speech.
Kablawi is an equal opportunity offender, attacking all faiths, including his own, though Jews are by far his primary target. Last month, he told his congregants, “[A Muslim] doesn’t associate his behavior with an iman (faith). The Jews are different. They will use the iman, which is ‘We’re Jews,’ to justify every heinous thing they do.” Also last month, he stated, “You will find the most enemies to the believers are the Jews.” This past July, Kablawi told his congregation the following about Jews: “Look at the façade and the corruption in the Earth, today. You’ll find them behind it, in everything.”
Kablawi is not happy that some of his fellow Muslims are making peace with Israel. On September 15th, at the White House, historic peace agreements were signed between Israel, Bahrain and the UAE. On October 2nd, Kablawi told his audience, “Anything you sign as peace is nothing but selling out, is nothing but cowardice, is nothing but humiliation, is nothing but debasement.” On September 20th, he stated, “If anybody who brings this issue up… tell them brotherhood is stronger than cousinhood. When they abuse and kill our brothers… the Muslims in Palestine are brothers not cousins, and when my cousin kills my brother I will kill my cousin.”
Kablawi is also not friendly towards Muslims who side with Hindus wishing to resettle in the Indian state of Kashmir, following years of terror and dispossession at the hands of Islamists. In August 2019, he tweeted his own mini fatwa (religious ruling), stating, “Whoever allies himself, celebrates and honors the Hindus for what they have done to Muslims in Kashmir is an apostate, out of the fold of the religion of Muhammad …”
Kablawi likes vilifying Christians, too. Last month, he told his congregants, “[T]he Christians don’t think. They just follow whatever.” He said that Christians have a “hallucinating imagination.” He called Christianity “fake.” In January 2019, he told his congregation, “The Christian religion makes no sense… If you look at all the religions in the world, Christianity can compete for first place in stupidity.” This past July he stated, “Someone might ask, ‘Why are there a lot of Christians?’ There are lots of Christians, because their fitra (state of purity/innocence) got corrupted.”
Kablawi also hates gays with a passion. Last month, he railed against gay rights. He stated to his audience, “20 years or 30 years ago, talking to someone about the rights of homosexuals – crazy! God knows what there will be tomorrow… Maybe the straight ones will be the gay ones. We will be looked at as abnormal.” He referred to gays as “Sodomites.” In March 2019, Kablawi bizarrely attacked gays and Christians together, tweeting, “After long research, I think I finally discovered the virus responsible for LGBTQ disease… It is called the Church virus; most dangerous mutation of such virus is the Catholic one .” Kablawi has even attacked Islamist favorite Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and a leader from CAIR for cavorting with LGBT.
And when it comes to jihad, for Kablawi, there is only one primary meaning, and that is holy war. In July, he said, “[J]ihad is when you put your life on the line. Not the cute jihad , as they call everything ‘jihad’ today. A brother sent me a message, ‘This is the Real Jihad’… about coronavirus. This kid somewhere in Falastin. They stopped him from seeing his mother, at the hospital, who was infected with the virus. He would climb, every night, the walls of the hospital and sit next to the room of his mother… May Allah reward him for being righteous and dutiful to his mother. But that’s not the real jihad. Real jihad is not climbing walls. Real jihad is climbing over people’s necks and heads and skulls.”
This past July, hundreds of mosque goers packed Kablawi’s NMIC, as Kablawi stood in front leading prayers. No doubt, his type of no frills Islamic fundamentalism has attracted a significant segment of the Muslim community. One must therefore question how much of Kablawi’s extreme and bigoted rhetoric has his congregants taken to heart, and are they willing to act on it, meaning violently? One of his followers, Salman Rashid, this past December, was charged with soliciting ISIS to murder the deans of two South Florida colleges . And according to Kablawi, he himself is considered by the FBI to be a member of ISIS.
Fadi Kablawi is a danger and threat to society. The message that he sends to his congregation and all who watch and share his videos is one of hatred and violence. Kablawi believes that he is teaching the Islamic religion in the proper manner – one that is unfiltered and unapologetic – and that may very well be so. However, what Kablawi is doing, as well, is inspiring his followers and congregants, including very young and impressionable children, to retain this hatred and to potentially carry out the same type of jihad that Kablawi lauds and embraces.

Dodge the Real Reparations How
about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?
Thu Oct 15, 2020
Lloyd Billingsley

“As
a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to
thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and
bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic
institutions.”
That
was California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a September 30 signing
statement for Assembly Bill 3121 which
“establishes a nine-member task force to inform Californians about slavery and
explore ways the state might provide reparations.” For all its faults,
California was never part of the Confederacy, and Californians might wonder
about a stronger case for reparations from damages caused by the China virus.
Evidence
points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, recipient of funds from the U.S.
National Institutes of Health, which banned “gain of function”
research in 2014 because of danger that a manipulated virus might be
released into the population. The NIH revived the dangerous research in 2017
but kept it secret. The Wuhan Institute was an ideal place to hide gain of
function, and Anthony Fauci backed the lab with more than $7 million. Dr. Fauci
has been evasive about what, exactly, went on at Wuhan but there can be no
dispute about the aftermath.
The
China virus claimed more than 200,000 deaths in the United States alone and
touched three leaders of G7 nations: President Trump, British prime minister
Boris Johnson, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose wife Sophie tested
positive for the coronavirus in March. The economic damages are undeniable:
millions unemployed, businesses going bankrupt, mounting debt, and all the
social wreckage now on display.
President
Trump is on record that this was all “China’s fault,” and China is going to pay
“a big price” for what they’ve done to the United States and the world.
One U.S. state is already taking measures. In April, Missouri attorney general
Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “ responsible for the
enormous death , suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world,
including Missourians.” For Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat,
the Missouri lawsuit was the problem.
“We
launch a series of unknown events that could be very, very dangerous ,” said
Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I think this
is a huge mistake.” And Feinstein had only praise for China, “as a country that
has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time”
and as “a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations. And I
deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the
issues.”
Indeed,
as Feinstein told James Areddy of
the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to
Shanghai, the San Francisco Democrat had been coming to the Communist nation
for 31 years. Feinstein compared Tiananmen Square to Kent State, and as Rosemarie Ho reported
in The Nation , Democrats in general and
Feinstein in particular ignored the Communist crackdown against Hong Kong.
As
the San
Francisco Chronicle noted , the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for
20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her
own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben
Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s
husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China
trade she supported.”
None
of this has touched off an investigation, which confirms that FBI favors for
Democrats go far beyond Hillary Clinton. A party that functions as a
cheerleader for China will not seek any reparations from China, or any other
entity that has inflicted vast damage on the United States.
On
September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists claimed nearly 3,000 American lives and
caused billions in damages. If that not a case for reparations, it is hard to
know what one would look like. Democrats made no case, and the president
formerly known as Barry Soetoro shipped billions in cash to Iran, the major
sponsor of terrorism in the world.
President
Trump pushed back on terrorism, taking out Iranian master terrorist Soleimani
and ISIS boss al-Baghdadi. Democrats were critical of these actions, and their
diversionary push for slavery reparations has no merit. Neither does Gov.
Newsom’s charge of “structural racism,” which as David Azerrad explains , lacks
proof on the historical, legislative, and even the subconscious level.
The
nation can only thrive, Gov. Newsom contends, “when every one of us has the
opportunity to thrive.” As it happens, the most powerful figure in recent
California history is the African American Willie Brown. The thriving assembly
speaker set up his girlfriend Kamala
Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her career all the way to
candidacy for what she has called a “ Harris administration. ”
Meanwhile,
old-money Democrats are grooming Gov. Newsom for a presidential run in 2024.
Should he succeed, the nation would never get reparations for terrorism or the
China virus. On the other hand, the entire nation would soon look like
California, whose rapid decline reminds Bill Maher of “Italy in the 70s or
something. ” As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
