Crenshaw wrecked (again) - 'Groppers' bring Zioclopse Dan to tears (nearly) - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

<ding ding ding> Zioclopse, Round Two After the previous innings where The ZOG Empire Struck Back, which featured Ben Shapiroju reading a 40 minute script for the ZOG army to thereafter follow (just like Clinton and her "basket of deplorables" in 2016), Dan "the Zioclopse" Crenshaw, true to form, bounced back for a second round against .... the Groppers! And Dan "Cyclops" Crenshaw, Zionist shill, has been for the second time, udderly wrecked :) He tried splitting the questioner line into 2 or more, had questioners all shuffled around - a line for Dems to ask questions, a line for Reps, and mix mix mix 'em all up. Very strangely tho, some folks in the "Dems" line asked questions about the USS Liberty ... ... that's just, like, really odd - who could have predicted that? (various clips of the original talk, with the below quotes, in original article below) So Dan ultimately lost it on his grass lawn patch outside at Arizona State U: “America would not be here without Israel and the important lessons of Jerusalem.” U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw pic.twitter.com/Umq0TJRh5L — CUFI (@CUFI) November 1, 2019 Crenshaw: Are you Trump Supporters? "Yes" Crenshaw: So you support the most pro-Israel president ever? "Yes" Crenshaw: Will you disavow Trump's Israel policy? "Yes" Crenshaw: Are you pro-Trump or not???" "YES!!!!" Perfectly coherent worldview; foreign to people like Dan — Jake Lloyd (@JacobCLloyd) November 8, 2019 And that USS Liberty - man, that's just literally metaphorical dynamite for Cyclops Dan :) : Q: … All three testified to it being an intentional attack by Israel. My questions is: how can you associate with TPUSA when its leader Charlie Kirk called this event a conspiracy theory? Your Navy brothers were killed in the incident. Dan: Alright. What do you guys call yourselves? There’s a name for your group, right? Groppers? No, you’re not conservatives. You’re not. I know you think you are. [Crosstalk, chanting] So, for those of you who are new to this and you’re trying to figure out what the heck is going on here, you’ve got a bunch of guys – they’re all guys. They’ve got one girl. That’s good. And I’ve already answered you. What do you call yourself? The Groppers? That’s a very strange name. It’s a very strange name. So, these guys are kinda the Alt-Right 2.0. They’re deeply anti-Semitic, they only care about a couple issues that have to do with Israel. They’ll ask questions about the USS Liberty … why we give aid to Israel … they’ll frame these questions in a way that seems reasonable. Right? It’s reasonable to ask about history, and the USS Liberty, sure. AA: What a whackjob. He acts emotionally incontinent, like he’s on roids. He might be on roids. And someone asking about the lines: First off, I did want to thank you for your service non-ironically. I think it’s a great thing that you do. Congressman, my question really has to do with liberty and freedom that you always talk about. How can you claim to freedom and liberty and pro all of that, when you make two separate lines and label one group anti-semites and racists, which is an attack that the left. [loud applause] How can you do anything related to pro-liberty, pro-free speech, when you are suppressing people by moving people around in the line? Crenshaw declined to explain ... The crowd started chanting “prove me wrong,” which is the name of his event. All kinds of people were trying to prove him wrong about the USS liberty, Israel being our greatest ally, anal marriage being good for society, mass immigration being our greatest strength, America being an idea, etc. etc. etc. But all this odious fiend wants to do is talk about fake AOC “revolutionary socialism” bullshit that everyone thinks is boring and is – like him – only propped up by Jew money. ... At one point, the one-eyed freak said “You’re going to regret saying these things on camera.” They use that to cloak their anti-Semitic leanings. And their racist leanings. And it’s pretty gross. Guys. Guys. And I’ll say this. Now we’re going to have a little come to Jesus moment. You don’t have the luxury of the time that I grew up in, where nothing was only and we we’re tweeting and we weren’t on Facebook, and things like this weren’t being filmed. You guys live in that reality. And you’re young and you’re very upset and emotional. You’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret being on camera and saying some of the things that you’re saying. ... This is a Republican Congressman telling people they will regret being on video questioning him, questioning Israel. What does that mean, Congressman Dan, you low IQ moron? What are you going to do to them, Congressman Dan, you freak? Are you going to have them murdered? Heck you, Dan, you piece of human garbage. We are not “Alt-Right neo-Nazis.” WE ARE AMERICANS. WE ARE STANDING UP FOR OUR COUNTRY. We are the exact opposite of you, a man who is a professional sellout, a spy and a traitor, using our government, our resources, to support a foreign power. The Zioclopse, wrecked :D [Imagine some Rubber Boys victory musak here and some truly wicked Israeli dance moves.] Fully wrecked man, fully wrecked :) Gropper War: Zioclops Dan Crenshaw Gets Confused, As He Gets Gropped by Virile Groppers! http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/gropper-war-zioclops-dan-crenshaw-gets-confus…

[MINISTRY] - CJEU (EU Court of Jewstice): Facebook can be ordered ... to remove defamatory material worldwide - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

So the EU Court of "Justice" aka Jewstice, is Jewing over the EU and claiming jewrisdiction over the entire world (could never have predicted this) by providing a fig leaf of Jewdicial sanction to the Facebook Political Complex in their zealous hand wringing censorship. Speak anyway (of course): The Court Of Justice Of The European Union Limits Free Speech https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/court-justice-european-union-limits-… https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15139/european-court-free-speech On October 3, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in a judgment that Facebook can be ordered by national courts of EU member states to remove defamatory material worldwide: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2019-10/cp190128en… "She [Glawischnig-Piesczek] is seeking an order that Facebook Ireland remove a comment published by a user on that social network harmful to her reputation, and allegations which were identical and/or of an equivalent content. "The Facebook user in question had shared on that user's personal page an article from the Austrian online news magazine oe24.at entitled 'Greens: Minimum income for refugees should stay'. That had the effect of generating on that page a 'thumbnail' of the original site, containing the title and a brief summary of the article, and a photograph of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek. That user also published, in connection with that article, a comment which the Austrian courts found to be harmful to the reputation of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek, and which insulted and defamed her. This post could be accessed by any Facebook user." The judgment has brought concern among free speech organizations. Thomas Hughes, the executive director of ARTICLE 19, a non-profit organization that works on "protecting the right to freedom of expression around the world," said: https://www.article19.org/resources/cjeu-judgment-in-facebook-ireland-case-… "This judgment has major implications for online freedom of expression around the world. "Compelling social media platforms like Facebook to automatically remove posts regardless of their context will infringe our right to free speech and restrict the information we see online... "The ruling also means that a court in one EU member state will be able to order the removal of social media posts in other countries, even if they are not considered unlawful there. This would set a dangerous precedent where the courts of one country can control what internet users in another country can see. This could be open to abuse, particularly by regimes with weak human rights records." According to ARTICLE 19: https://www.article19.org/resources/cjeu-judgment-in-facebook-ireland-case-… "The judgment means that Facebook would have to use automated filters to identify social media posts that are considered to be 'identical content' or 'equivalent content'. Technology is used to identify and delete content that is considered illegal in most countries, for example, child abuse images. However, this ruling could see filters being used to search text posts for defamatory content, which is more problematic given that the meaning of text could change depending on the context. Although the ruling has said only content that is essentially the same as the original unlawful post should be removed, it is likely that automated filters will make errors". The judgment "undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on speech on another country," Facebook commented in a statement. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/facebook-handed-unwanted-job-global-11262948… ...

American Empire's unwinnable wars, from an Officer's PoV - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

America's Endless Wars: "At West Point, Graduation Day Felt More Like A Tragedy Than A Triumph" https://www.zerohedge.com/political/americas-endless-wars-west-point-gradua… https://www.thenation.com/article/afghanistan-army-west-point/ ... The first of our wars to come from that nightmare has always been unwinnable. All the Afghan metrics—the US military’s own “measures for success”—continue to trend badly, worse than ever in fact. The futility of the entire endeavor borders on the absurd. It makes me sad to think that my former officemate and fellow West Point history instructor, Mark, is once again over there. Along with just about every serving officer I’ve known, he would laugh if asked whether he could foresee—or even define—“victory” in that country. Take my word for it, after 18-plus years, whatever idealism might once have been in the Army has almost completely evaporated. Resignation is what remains among most of the officer corps. As for me, I’ll be left hoping against hope that someone I know or taught isn’t the last to die in that never-ending war from hell. My former cadets who ended up in armor (tanks and reconnaissance) or ventured into the Special Forces might now find themselves in Syria—the war President Trump “ended” by withdrawing American troops from that country, until, of course, almost as many of them were more or less instantly sent back in. Some of the armor officers among my students might even have the pleasure of indefinitely guarding that country’s oil fields, which—if the United States takes some of that liquid gold for itself—might just violate international law. But hey, what else is new? Still more—mostly intelligence officers, logisticians, and special operators—can expect to deploy to any one of the dozen or so West African or Horn of Africa countries that the US military now calls home. In the name of “advising and assisting” the local security forces of often autocratic African regimes, American troops still occasionally, if quietly, die in “non-combat” missions in places like Niger or Somalia. None of these combat operations have been approved, or even meaningfully debated, by Congress. But in the America of 2019 that doesn’t qualify as a problem. There are, however, problems of a more strategic variety. After all, it’s demonstrably clear that, since the founding of the US military’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) in 2008, violence on the continent has only increased, while Islamist terror and insurgent groups have proliferated in an exponential fashion. To be fair, though, such counter-productivity has been the name of the game in the “war on terror” since it began. Another group of new academy graduates will spend up to a year in Poland, Romania, or the Baltic states of Eastern Europe. There, they’ll ostensibly train the paltry armies of those relatively new NATO countries—added to the alliance in foolish violation of repeated American promises not to expand eastward as the Cold War ended. In reality, though, they’ll be serving as provocative “signals” to a supposedly expansionist Russia. With the Russian threat wildly exaggerated, just as it was in the Cold War era, the very presence of my Baltic-based former cadets will only heighten tensions between the two over-armed nuclear heavyweights. Such military missions are too big not to be provocative, but too small to survive a real (if essentially unimaginable) war. The intelligence officers among my cadets might, on the other hand, get the “honor” of helping the Saudi Air Force through intelligence-sharing to doom some Yemeni targets—often civilian—to oblivion thanks to US manufactured munitions. In other words, these young officers could be made complicit in what’s already the worst humanitarian disaster in the world. Other recent cadets of mine might even have the ignominious distinction of being part of military convoys driving along interstate highways to America’s southern border to emplace what President Trump has termed “beautiful” barbed wire there, while helping detain refugees of wars and disorder that Washington often helped to fuel. ... None of these potential tasks awaiting my former students is even remotely linked to the oath (to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”) that newly commissioned officers swear on day one. They are instead all unconstitutional, ill-advised distractions that benefit mainly an entrenched national security state and the arms-makers that go with them. The tragedy is that a few of my beloved cadets with whom I once played touch football, who babysat my children, who shed tears of anxiety and fear during private lunches in my office might well sustain injuries that will last a lifetime or die in one of this country’s endless hegemonic wars. ... My last day in front of a class, I skipped the planned lesson and leveled with the young men and women seated before me. We discussed my own once bright, now troubled career and my struggles with my emotional health. We talked about the complexities, horror, and macabre humor of combat and they asked me blunt questions about what they could expect in their future as graduates. Then, in my last few minutes as a teacher, I broke down. I hadn’t planned this, nor could I control it. My greatest fear, I said, was that their budding young lives might closely track my own journey of disillusionment, emotional trauma, divorce, and moral injury. The thought that they would soon serve in the same pointless, horrifying wars, I told them, made me “want to puke in a trash bin.” The clock struck 1600 (4 pm), class time was up, yet not a single one of those stunned cadets—unsure undoubtedly of what to make of a superior officer’s streaming tears—moved for the door. I assured them that it was okay to leave, hugged each of them as they finally exited, and soon found myself disconcertingly alone. So I erased my chalkboards and also left. Three years have passed. About 130 students of mine graduated in May. My last group will pin on the gold bars of brand new army officers in late May 2020. I’m still in touch with several former cadets and, long after I did so, students of mine are now driving down the dusty lanes of Iraq or tramping the narrow footpaths of Afghanistan. My nightmare has come true.
