thelibertydaily--2020-06-29--Cancel Culture’s Blind Spot: Anti-Semitism

Cancel culture has a curious blind spot when it comes to one brand of bigotry .
In recent days , several prominent stars have either shared anti-Semitic views or promoted material spoken by an unabashed anti-Semite .
Yet Chelsea Handler , Ice Cube and Jessica Chastain haven ’ t been ” canceled ” like some in the entertainment field .
In fact , activists who normally rise up when hate enters the conversation have stood down .
Handler stoked anger after she shared a 1990 clip from “ The Phil Donahue Show ” featuring Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ featured the “ powerful ” video on her Instagram feed , which reaches nearly 4 million followers .
Some quickly assailed her for ignoring Farrakhan ’ s relentless bigotry .
Handler , who is Jewish , initially defended her post and cursed out her critics .
She later apologized .
Other stars , including Chastain and “ The Good Place ” alum Jameela Jamil , shared Handler ’ s message with their sizable social media flocks .
Jennifer Garner , Jennifer Aniston and Michelle Pfeiffer “ liked ” Handler ’ s original post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stars Sean Hayes and Lisa Rinna praised the clip , according to The Daily Beast .
David Harsanyi , a senior writer at National Review , says anti-Semitism “ has always been excused or rationalized , or people look the other way when it happens.
” Harsanyi notes a “ hierarchy of grievances ” in the country at the moment , and anti-Semitism appears lower on that scale .
Cancel culture hails from the far left , a segment he calls “ deeply anti-Semitic.
” Harsanyi says it helps explain why rapper-turned-actor Ice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ series of tweets seen by some as anti-Semitic .
The “ Ride Along ” star tweeted conspiracy theories suggesting ties between the Jewish people and both 9/11 and COVID-19 .
`` What if I was just pro-Black ?
This is the truth brother .
I didn ’ t lie on anyone .
I didn ’ t say I was anti anybody .
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE .
I ’ ve been telling my truth.
” “ The cancel culture crowd is part of the problem , ” Harsanyi says .
“ [ Ice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t offensive to the people who are canceling.
” He notes anti-Semitism lurks on the far right as well .
The Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro , a Jewish conservative , has faced death threats from the alt-right in recent years .
Mainstream conservatives disown that element , but the same isn ’ t always true on the left , Harsanyi argues .

The same network also elevated Joy Reid , the “ AM Joy ” news personality , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held by Chris Matthews .
Reid ’ s questionable comments about Israel are public knowledge , though she blamed hackers for those messages .
Steven Katz , Slater Professor of Jewish & Holocaust Studies at Boston University , says the combination of a global pandemic and nationwide riots may be tied to these ugly comments .

Anyone unfamiliar with Farrakhan ’ s history now has a better grasp of his vitriol .
The post still speaks poorly of Handler ’ s educational background , he notes .
Cheryl @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of History at Trinity College in Hartford , Conn. , blames ignorance , not hate , for some of the celebrity comments .

“ We ’ re having a conversation about whether white people are racist and , all of a sudden , we notice black people are saying anti-Semitic things , ” Greenberg says .

“ We trot out all these examples , as if that has anything to do with discrediting the larger issues we ’ re facing .
That shouldn ’ t stop the fight against bigotry , though .
We should challenge it wherever we see it.

He ’ s an avowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Divestment & Sanctions ) against Israel , for example .
Waters recently placed part of the blame for Minnesota resident George Floyd ’ s death on Minneapolis police employing tactics used by the IDF ( Israel Defense Forces ) : “ Because I am a critic of this Israeli government ’ s policies and in the absence of this Israeli government producing cogent arguments to defend themselves from my criticism , I am instead routinely subjected to the accusation that I am an anti-Semite , ” he said in 2014 .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pattern , but nevertheless an identifiable and repeated pattern , a part of the general tactic of 'Hasbara . '

Greenberg , a Pink Floyd devotee , isn ’ t surprised to hear what Waters said about Floyd ’ s death .

Waters recently placed part of the blame for Minnesota resident George Floyd’s death on Minneapolis police employing tactics used by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces):
Waters has repeatedly denied charges he’s an anti-Semite.
“Because I am a critic of this Israeli government’s policies and in the absence of this Israeli government producing cogent arguments to defend themselves from my criticism, I am instead routinely subjected to the accusation that I am an anti-Semite,” he said in 2014. “This is a pattern, a crude pattern, but nevertheless an identifiable and repeated pattern, a part of the general tactic of 'Hasbara.'”
Harsanyi isn’t convinced.
“Anyone who blames Jews for all things is an anti-Semite,” he says.
Greenberg, a Pink Floyd devotee, isn’t surprised to hear what Waters said about Floyd’s death.
“He takes facts and distorts them,” Greenberg says. “It is true that Israeli police provide some training for some U.S. police, but that’s not the point … Why not focus on the violence police are committing?”

Modern Slavery and Woke Hypocrisy

In 2017, shocking footage emerged from actual slave auctions in Libya: CNN documented an incident in which Arabic-speaking men sold off twelve Nigerians. In 2019, Time Magazine interviewed an African migrant, Iabarot, who had been sold into slavery on his way to Europe:
"When Iabarot reached Libya's southern border, he met a seemingly friendly taxi driver who offered to drive him to the capital city, Tripoli, for free. Instead, he was sold to a 'white Libyan,' or Arab, for $200. He was forced to work off his 'debt' on a construction site, a pattern that repeated each time he was sold and resold."
Sex trafficking forms a considerable part of modern slavery. The Nigerian mafia, for instance, according to a 2019 report by the Washington Post, is trafficking women by the tens of thousands:
"Some experts say that as many as 20,000 Nigerian women, some of them minors, arrived in Sicily between 2016 and 2018, trafficked in cooperation with Nigerians in Italy and back home."
According to a July 2017 report by the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM):
"Over the past three years, IOM Italy has seen an almost 600 per cent increase in the number of potential sex trafficking victims arriving in Italy by sea. This upward trend has continued during the first six months of 2017, with most victims arriving from Nigeria". In its report, IOM estimated that 80 per cent of girls, often minors, arriving from Nigeria -- whose numbers soared dramatically from 1,454 in 2014 to 11,009 in 2016 -- were "potential victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation".
In parts of the African continent, especially in the Sahel, slavery is still ingrained in traditional culture, even though, officially, slavery has been outlawed. In countries such as Mali and Mauritania, so-called descent-based slavery or "caste-based" slavery -- in which slavery is passed down from generation to generation, so that slaves are born into their predicament -- is still practiced by some.
In 2013, it was estimated that around 250,000 people were living in slave-like conditions in Mali, where slavery is not illegal. One Malian slave, Raichatou, told the Guardian in 2013 that she became a slave at the age of seven when her mother, also a slave, died. "My father could only watch on helplessly as my mother's master came to claim me and my brothers," she said. She worked as a servant for the family without pay for nearly 20 years, and was forced into a marriage with another slave whom she didn't know, so that she could supply her master with more slaves.
In Mauritania, it is estimated that up to 20% of the population is enslaved, even though slavery was officially outlawed in 1981. The slaves are mostly from the Haratine minority, who are black Africans, as opposed to the nearly half of the population who are Arabs or Berbers. According to a report by the Guardian from 2018:
"Slavery has a long history in this north African desert nation. For centuries, Arabic-speaking Moors raided African villages, resulting in a rigid caste system that still exists to this day, with darker-skinned inhabitants beholden to their lighter-skinned "masters". Slave status is passed down from mother to child, and anti-slavery activists are regularly tortured and detained. Yet the government routinely denies that slavery exists in Mauritania, instead praising itself for eradicating the practice."
The report also described a few of the horrific fates of the Haratine slaves:
"Aichetou Mint M'barack was a slave by descent in the Rosso area. Like her sister, she was taken away from her mother and then given to a member of the master's family to be a servant. She got married in the home of her masters and had eight children, two of whom were taken away from her to be slaves in other families. In 2010, Aichetou's older sister was able to free her... after she herself fled her masters when they poured hot embers over her baby, killing it."
BLM and the many corporate executives, university professors, media, sports and cultural personalities who are bending their knees to the movement seem totally unconcerned by the fates of the likes of Aichetou. More likely than not, they have never heard of her or her many fellow sufferers. They are apparently black lives that do not matter -- to anyone except the courageous people working in the local anti-slavery organizations.
Instead, BLM and its sycophants endlessly debate changing the names of streets and universities, and removing statues, all of which do not amount to anything more than infantile virtue signaling. They waste time debating whether people who were never themselves slaves, should receive reparations from people who never owned a slave.
To engage in all this posturing, while ignoring the staggering 40 million current victims of actual slavery, not only represents the immeasurable depths of woke hypocrisy, but constitutes an extreme insult to those who are suffering their slavery in silence, while slowly dying from the physical, sexual and emotional abuse that they are being forced to endure. If anything is "offensive," it is that.

"TBNA has heard from members across the state all day expressing their rage that our businesses have once again unjustly been indefinitely closed without one shred of scientific evidence that bars and nightclubs pose any more of a public health hazard than a restaurant, grocery store, big-box retailer, convenience store, health club, hair salon or the many of other business segments that cater to the public throughout the state of Texas," TBNA wrote.

Joe Biden has been hidden away in his basement for weeks, basically avoiding the press.
This week, he finally spoke to reporters but said the quiet part out loud.
He actually told them he was given a list of people to call on for questions. Oops.
Howie Carr writes at the Boston Herald:
Biden has surged ahead in spite of the fact that according to two other recent polls, somewhere between 38 and 55% of the population has already concluded that Creepy Joe is in some stage of dementia — or as somebody put it Tuesday, Biden’s putting the “dem” back in dementia.
This inconvenient truth is why Joe’s handlers, or keepers, made sure that media availability was restricted Tuesday. He had a list of reporters to call upon, crack scribes who the campaign had apparently decided could be relied upon to do the right thing.

thelibertydaily--2020-07-01--Lawsuit Alleges Former CIA Employees Were Hired By Qatar To Hack A Republican Financier

Qatar is being accused by prominent Republican financier Elliott Broidy of hiring a team of former CIA and U.S. military intelligence officials to carry out what he says was criminal activity against himself and his business , according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court .
The Washington Free Beacon first reported on the allegations Tuesday , and SaraACarter.com has spoken to people familiar with the matter .

Qatar is being accused by prominent Republican financier Elliott Broidy of hiring a team of former CIA and U.S. military intelligence officials to carry out what he says was criminal activity against himself and his business, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported on the allegations Tuesday, and SaraACarter.com has spoken to people familiar with the matter. Broidy’s lawsuit, reviewed by this columnist, goes into explosive details about the alleged cyber-espionage operation led by the Qatari government against him and his business in 2018.
It also raises significant and astounding questions as to what happens when highly trained U.S. intelligence officials take contracts from foreign nations they once were required to surveil. It sounds like an action novel, but it’s not and that’s exactly what Broidy alleges in his lawsuit.
Broidy’s complaint alleges that an American company, whose employees are highly trained NSA, CIA and military officials, were hired by the government of Qatar to illegally obtain information from his computer in an effort to discredit him for speaking out against them.
He states that Global Risk Advisors (GRA), a New York-based private security firm whose employees are considered highly trained specialists by the U.S. Intelligence Community, was hired and paid a substantial amount of money to conduct the illegal operation against his company. The court filing stated that GRA had received more than $100 million from Qatar to hack, surveil, and silence American citizens, as well as others, who had been critical of the oil-rich state.
GRA did not immediately respond to an email for fair comment. SaraACarter.com also called the general One World Trade Center phone number, which is listed as their office location on GRA’s website. They informed this website that the company is no longer located in the building. This story will be updated if and when Chalker or a representative for GRA responds.
Broidy stated in the suit that the operation against him was due to his “high-profile criticism of Qatar.” His complaint includes detailed information about how GRA’s “world-class hackers,” targeted him personally, along with FIFA Officials, who had oversight regarding the country’s World Cup 2022 Bid. Broidy’s lawsuit comes in the wake of other allegations that Qatar peddles influence and allegedly bribed FIFA officials to secure the 2022 World Cup, as reported by The New York Times.
“In recent years, Qatar, a wealthy Persian Gulf state, has become increasingly prominent in the sponsorship of terrorism, openly hosting organizations such as Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Taliban,” Broidy’s complaint states. “Surprisingly, despite these notorious and quite public connections with terrorism, Qatar has embarked upon a strategy of gaining influence in Western nations, including the United States, through a campaign of retaining Western political lobbyists and operatives.” The complaint noted that the efforts by Qatar have crossed legal boundaries and suggests that most prominently was “Qatar’s procurement of the 2022 World Cup through widespread bribery.” “In response, Mr. Broidy’s work had more recently turned to bringing significant public condemnation to Qatar, including from the President of the United States and several Congressional leaders,” the complaint states. “This case is brought against Americans who, for hire, assisted Qatar’s ‘dirty tricks’ campaign against Mr. Broidy, one calculated to silence him and to serve as a chilling example to others of what happens to those who oppose Qatar.”
Those Americans, said Broidy, were hired to help Qatari leaders secure a bid for the 2020 World Cup bid and advance other interests.
“GRA actively pitched Qatar by offering Qatar access to some of the most highly trained former counterintelligence personnel in the world—to help secure Qatar’s status as host,” states the complaint. “As controversy swirled in subsequent years, the GRA Defendants outlined their ability to employ intelligence community skills and covert action campaigns to neutralize key voices in the growing choir of critics who advocated that World Cup 2022 be reassigned to a different host country.”
According to Broidy’s complaint, the effort to smear him was allegedly headed by GRA CEO Kevin Chalker, a former CIA operative and Yale adjunct professor.
Moreover, the lawsuit states that Chalker led the campaign to silence Theo Zwanziger, the former president of the German Football Association. At the time, Zwanziger was serving as a member of FIFA’s executive committee. He had actively promoted the idea of taking back Qatar’s successful hosting bid and awarding it to a different country, according to the complaint.
The complaint states that GRA allegedly acted “to neutralize Mr. Zwanziger, by targeting him and influencing people close to him through covert influence and operations. The assignment included infiltrating FIFA itself.”
“Mr. Chalker and GRA’s tactics included a covert action program, so-called “black ops,” and the use of IT platforms. They targeted individuals and entities across multiple continents, set up and terminated multiple ‘cover for action’ entities in various jurisdictions…By the spring of 2014, Mr. Chalker and GRA had succeeded—Mr. Zwanziger had come full circle, and his public statements now generally supported World Cup 2022 remaining in Qatar as a way to improve social justice reform efforts there,” it states.
GRA had requested more than $500 million for the contract work they conducted with Qatar, according to the complaint. Ultimately, however, the company received consulting contracts worth at least $100 million, the complaint alleges.
Chalker and GRA “identified and proposed multiple national security enhancements and surveillance work, including ‘Project Deviant,” in which GRA would train Qatari officers in defensive counter-intelligence and offensive intelligence collection tactics, including advanced, sophisticated skills that trained former U.S. intelligence and military operatives are typically barred from sharing or conferring unto foreign governments,” the complaint alleges.
The complaint documents GRA’s expertise and exposes a company produced promotional video done in 2015, which reveals “advanced techniques to penetrate target networks.” The video also allegedly discusses methods to “intrude into servers”, including “spear phishing” campaigns, according to the court filing.
GRA allegedly “agreed to engage in, and did in fact manage and execute, a series of cyberattacks and other misappropriation of Mr. Broidy’s private communications and documents,” the lawsuit claims. “The purpose of the hacks was to obtain access to Mr. Broidy’s confidential documents so that they could be manipulated and strategically disseminated to damage Mr. Broidy economically and as a spokesperson for opponents of Qatar’s support of terrorism.”
According to Broidy, in December 2017, GRA initiated a ‘spearfishing’ hack into Broidy’s personal computer. The complaint alleges that the operation was personally directed by Chalker, stating that he “celebrated the launch of the spear phishing campaign that very night, on Wednesday, December 27, 2017, by taking associates to the Sapphire Gentlemen’s club in New York City.”
Broidy’s lawsuit and sources claim “that the ‘spearfishing’ incident was not isolated but a coordinated effort carried out by GRA at the behest of the Qatari government as part of the firm’s “special projects,” that illicitly targeted U.S. critics of Qatar.”

thelibertydaily--2020-07-01--Russian Anti-Terror Chief: Jihadis Are Intentionally Spreading the Chi-Com Virus

The head of Russia ’ s Anti-Terrorism Center has warned that terrorists are intentionally trying to spread the coronavirus , using it as a form of bio-weapon .
Andrei Novikov , head of Russia ’ s Commonwealth of Independent States ( CIS ) , told Russian state news agency Tass that the terrorists are using the health crisis to further their own agendas .
“ While governments are trying to ensure health security , focusing on protecting the lives and health of their people , recruiters of international terrorist groups are not just taking advantage of the difficult situation in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ’ they are calling on infected members to spread COVID-19 as wide as possible in public places , state agencies and so on , ” Novikov said .
The anti-terror chief also noted that terrorists have been hampered by lockdowns and so are finding other ways of recruiting and spreading fear .
“ As the population started moving into self-isolation and borders between countries were closing , the level of terrorist activity had somewhat decreased , ” Novikov said .
“ The reason is obvious – it became significantly more difficult for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries , given that border control as well as disease control and prevention were heightened , ” he continued .
Novikov further added that online “ Media centers were activated which combine the spread of terrorist and extremist ideology and the recruitment of new members.
” He stated that anti-terror efforts are now focusing more on stopping the spread of misinformation designed to induce societal collapse .
“ Above all , they are linked to mobilization technologies to ensure public safety , to thwart the spread of unreliable information and any attempts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Novikov asserted .
Interestingly , Novikov also claimed that terrorists are using resentment against government imposed lockdowns , as well as a “ declining quality of life ” in countries hit hardest by the coronavirus , to entice new recruits .
“ There is a common understanding that the objective “ social fatigue ” should be separated from the restrictions introduced and its artificial amplification in order to destabilize the constitutional structure , ” Novikov stated .
The warnings echo those of European Union counter-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerchove , who recently noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caused by the coronavirus pandemic to find holes in the national security of target countries .
Kerchove warned that a “ massive amount of money that will be spent to address the economic , social , and healthcare consequences of the virus ” should not be taken away from national security spending .
“ We must prevent the one crisis ending up producing another , ” he urged .

The families of four people who died from COVID-19 are suing EcoHealth alliance, the New York-based nonprofit that was conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out across town.
According to the Aug. 2 lawsuit filed before the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, EcoHealth and its president, Peter Daszak, knew the virus was “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic.”
Not only did EcoHealth help to create a ‘genetically manipulated virus,’ the lawsuit claims, it worked to cover up the origins of the outbreak.
“If we had known the source or origin of this virus and had not been misled that it was from a pangolin in a wet market, and rather we knew that it was a genetically manipulated virus, and that the scientists involved were concealing that from our clients, the outcome could have been very different,” victims’ attorney Patricia Finn told the NY Post.
The families of Mary Conroy, of Pennsylvania; Emma D. Holley, of Rochester, NY; Larry Carr, of Crossville, Tennessee; and Raul Osuna, of Bennington, Nebraska, are seeking unspecified damages. “[The families of the deceased] are definitely in mourning, but moreover they’re enraged because the truth of what really happened appears to be coming forward,” Finn added. Paul Rinker, of Pennsylvania, is also suing Midtown-based EcoHealth and Daszak over the “serious injuries” he suffered from his bout with the bug.
Finn is also suing EcoHealth and Daszak in Nassau and Rockland Counties on behalf of the families of other victims killed by the virus, as well as two who survived.
“This particular case is highly offensive because it appears they knew and concealed the origin of the virus,” said Finn, adding “The treatment or approach taken in dealing with the virus could have been radically different than it was.”
Fauci is simply lying here. Zheng-Li Shi's lab at the WIV and EcoHealth Alliance (which administered NIH subawards to Zheng-Li Shi's lab) were absolutely manipulating viruses (using NIAID funds) in order to see which mutations would make them more dangerous to humans. https://t.co/2MD0oM4sWh — Justin B. Kinney (@jbkinney) August 12, 2023
EcoHealth notably received a re-activated grant from the NIH for over $576,000 in May to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans, despite failing to meet the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement.
As the Epoch Times noted;
The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.
In May 2016, the grant was suspended after Erik Stemmy, a NIAID program officer, noticed that federal government funds may have been used for prohibited gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. At the time, the Obama administration had put in place a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the suspension was lifted in July 2016. At the time, EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, thanked NIAID in an email for lifting the gain-of-function funding pause.
As part of the conditions of the grant, EcoHealth had to file regular activity reports. However, starting in 2018, EcoHealth stopped submitting these reports. EcoHealth would later blame technical difficulties for their failure to submit. The missing reports comprised the critical 2018–2019 timeframe right before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
* * *
More:
In 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH effectively shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to EcoHealth, headed by Peter Daszak.
Notably, the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
Yet, after Sars-CoV-2 broke out in the same town where Daszak was manipulating Bat Covid, The Lancet published a screed by Daszak (signed by over two-dozen scientists), which insisted the virus could have only come from a natural spillover event, likely from a wet market, and that the scientists “stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The Lancet only later noted Daszak’s conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, as we noted late last year, a Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID19 Pandemic” concluded that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.
Insanity…
