#UNRIG Video (44:23) Sheriff Richard Mack on Bottom Up Sheriffs & Pastors Leading Public Against Unconstitutional Powers

Today I did the single most important interview of my lifetime , with ( Former ) Sheriff Richard Mack , founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association ( CSPOA ) .
He is also the victor in a 10th Amendment federal lawsuit in which the Supreme Court found in favor of the local sheriff against the federal agents of the Deep State seeking to exceed their authority within his county where he was the elected chief law enforcement officer .
I will say this clearly : I judge Sheriff Richard Mack to be the single most important person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are to restore the US Constitution and the power of We the People over our state and federal bureaucracies run amok including — I offer my personal testimony here — CIA and FBI elements supporting the Mossad in bribing and blackmailing governors , legislators , judges , prosecutors and chiefs of police , often using child trafficking and pedophilia entrapment as well as Satanic Ritual Abuse ( SRA ) .
I urge all of you to watch and share this video just posted to YouTube , and to join the Constitutional Sheriffs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to all idnviduals whether a US citizen or not , as all are eligible to be deputized and thus be part of a legal “ posse , ” a long-standing US frontier tradition necessary to deal with domestic threats that a small number of peace officers can not handle along .
In this video Sheriff Macks answers questions about himself , the unique role of the sheriff as the one person who can say “ no ” to state and local authorities ; and about how We the People can take our country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the role of the sheriff .
It turns out the sheriff is the one who can STOP a federal “ no knock ” raid on your home or the confiscation of your property over an unpaid federal tax bill .
I did not know that .
Many sheriffs — as with most citizens — do not understand the Constitution or the limitations the Constitution places on federal as well as state authorities in relation to the public , which delegates ( ie does not abdicate , only delegates ) a HANDFUL of responsibilities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Peace Officer Association is the single most important civic initiative since the Founding Fathers met to draft the Constitution .
I do not say this lightly .
We are at a turning point in US history and it is my view that while President Trump is doing everything he can from a top down perspective , President Trump will not be fully successful without a tangible bottom up populist movement that is represented by sheriffs as well as pastors .
As I was writing this I learned that a federal judge has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Constitution and therefore Governors and others do not have the right to prevent freedom of assembly to worship ( or do other things citizens have a right to do without hindrance by bureaucrats ) .
Sheriff Mack tells me he is reaching out to pastors as well as sheriffs , and of course to citizens .
It is my prayer that every single one of you will visit https : //cspoa.org and learn , join , and donate .

Dear Patriot,
Today I did the single most important interview of my lifetime, with (Former) Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA). He is also the victor in a 10th Amendment federal lawsuit in which the Supreme Court found in favor of the local sheriff against the federal agents of the Deep State seeking to exceed their authority within his county where he was the elected chief law enforcement officer.
I will say this clearly: I judge Sheriff Richard Mack to be the single most important person in America after President Donald Trump if we are to restore the US Constitution and the power of We the People over our state and federal bureaucracies run amok including — I offer my personal testimony here — CIA and FBI elements supporting the Mossad in bribing and blackmailing governors, legislators, judges, prosecutors and chiefs of police, often using child trafficking and pedophilia entrapment as well as Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA).
I urge all of you to watch and share this video just posted to YouTube, and to join the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer Association that is open to all idnviduals whether a US citizen or not, as all are eligible to be deputized and thus be part of a legal “posse,” a long-standing US frontier tradition necessary to deal with domestic threats that a small number of peace officers cannot handle along.
In this video Sheriff Macks answers questions about himself, the unique role of the sheriff as the one person who can say “no” to state and local authorities; and about how We the People can take our country back by learning about our Constitution and the role of the sheriff. It turns out the sheriff is the one who can STOP a federal “no knock” raid on your home or the confiscation of your property over an unpaid federal tax bill. I did not know that.
Many sheriffs — as with most citizens — do not understand the Constitution or the limitations the Constitution places on federal as well as state authorities in relation to the public, which delegates (ie does not abdicate, only delegates) a HANDFUL of responsibilities.
In my view the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer Association is the single most important civic initiative since the Founding Fathers met to draft the Constitution. I do not say this lightly. We are at a turning point in US history and it is my view that while President Trump is doing everything he can from a top down perspective, President Trump will not be fully successful without a tangible bottom up populist movement that is represented by sheriffs as well as pastors.
As I was writing this I learned that a federal judge has found that there is no pandemic exemption for the Constitution and therefore Governors and others do not have the right to prevent freedom of assembly to worship (or do other things citizens have a right to do without hindrance by bureaucrats). Sheriff Mack tells me he is reaching out to pastors as well as sheriffs, and of course to citizens.
It is my prayer that every single one of you will visit https://cspoa.org and learn, join, and donate. Sheriff Mack is our Patrick Henry with a side of Thomas Jefferson, who said “A Nation’s best defense is an educated citizenry.” Please visit https://cspoa.org and arm yourself with knowledge — and if your circumstances permit please make the largest possible donation to help fund the forthcoming meeting in Virginia of sheriffs (and perhaps also pastors) from across the land who are coming together to learn, to pray, and to say ENOUGH!

veteranstoday--2020-09-10--Woodward Blockbuster: 2016 Election Machines Rigged with Malware – Trump loss averted by espionage

— Woodward reports new details on Russia ’ s election meddling , writing that the NSA and CIA have classified evidence the Russians had placed malware in the election registration systems of at least two Florida counties , St. Lucie and Washington .
While there was no evidence the malware had been activated , Woodward writes , it was sophisticated and could erase voters in specific districts .
The voting system vendor used by Florida was also used in states across the country .
What you aren ’ t being told is that no evidence was allowed to be collected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Evidence was everywhere but no one would take it .
The fix was in .
Read the entire piece at CNN , where this gem was hidden in plain sight .
Special software written to crack wide open Diebold voting machines was loaded ( manually ) onto voting machines in up to a dozen states in accordance with a mathematical plan to rig the 2016 election with a surprise win for a candidate down 14 % in the polls and down 4 million votes in final count…after up to 15 million votes were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CIA .
In 1990/91 , Soviet bankers toured the US , financed by Diebold in order to supposedly learn about installing automatic teller machines .
Instead , a CIA heist was arranged to launder soon to be looted Soviet cash through the bankrupt Trump organization into Kosher Nostra coffers .
VT knows everyone involved as we were at the table .
The plan was known about in 2015 when VT through its attorneys , Thomas Mattingly and Bart Fisher , contacted intelligence officials .
Nothing was done , the ‘ fix ’ was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the FBI several times while being interrogated .
They seem to hate hearing it .
Where there were recounts , like Wisconsin or Ohio , GOP precincts reported voting at up to 116 % of registered , not one or two with many reporting 95 % or above while areas like Milwaukee strangely reported very low turnout , the opposite of what poll watchers observed in real time .
Each of these states was a Trump loss , all turned with malware .
We traced the first use of malware to Ohio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mike Connell admitted that he had been paid to write programs to flip votes .
When he asked for protection after being threatened by Karl Rove , then White House advisor , Connell died in a mysterious plane crash , almost as though he were a Democratic senator .
As to the actual culprit ?

President Donald Trump spoke privately about the deadly nature of the coronavirus in recorded interviews even as he was publicly downplaying the severity of COVID-19 early this year, before the pandemic would take nearly 200,000 American lives and counting.
The president shared his stark assessment with the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward in recorded phone interviews in February, as the virus was spreading from China to other parts of the world.
In recorded interviews that were revealed Wednesday afternoon, Trump – who regularly speaks of his disdain for much of the ‘fake news’ media – spoke liberally with Woodward about his inner-thoughts on the virus and private conversations with Kim Jong-un – despite having called an earlier Woodward book a ‘con on the public.’

New York, NY… In clear violation of the due process guarantees contained within the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, gofundme scrapped one of the most sacred principles in the American criminal justice system — that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty — by shutting down a fundraiser for three highly decorated American servicemen, including two people of color and a medic trained to care for people.
The “MARSOC 3” have served over 18 years in the military, had seven deployments including multiple tours to both Iraq and Afghanistan, and has been awarded several decorations for honorable, distinguished service, and valor.

veteranstoday--2020-09-09--Will anyone miss them? Sturgis Rally to kill 12,000 from COVID in ‘First Wave’ – Study

VT Analysis : VT folks are biker folks and we love Sturgis as much as anyone .
A party is a party except when it isn ’ t .
Sturgis is responsible for pushing back COVID lockdown successes by a month .
12,000 will die , the stats are inexorable , from Sturgis .
What it has done is push for a poorly tested vaccine to be put in play weeks early or the estimate of $ 12 bn .
will be low .
None of us expected so many infected people to come to Sturgis , infecting everyone .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ home community is spiking .
Each Sturgis rally visitor has already infected up to 20 , with thousands sick already .
This isn ’ t conjecture .
A new study finding the rally responsible for a quarter-million new COVID-19 cases was deemed “ plausible ” by a virologist and epidemiologist who spoke to The Daily Beast .
Cost to the US ?
Some estimate as high as $ 12 billion for health care and financial losses Daily Beast : The roar of Harleys announced the determination of 460,000 people to ignore public health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rally in August , largely without masks or social distancing .
The silent pings of their cellphones enabled a team of economists to trace these reckless souls back to their home counties and statistically link the rally to at least 250,000 COVID-19 infections .
The results are reported in a new study , “ The Contagion Externality of a Superspreading Event : The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and COVID-19 ” [ interesting read ] from the Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies at San Diego State University .
The introduction quotes what the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ barefaced crowd packed before the stage at a concert during the rally : “ Now we ’ re all here together tonight .
And we ’ re being human once again .
F*ck that COVID sh*t. ” As is taught in every introductory statistics class , there is a critical difference between correlation and causation .
And the four authors of the study are economists , not epidemiologists .
But someone who is an epidemiologist , the highly regarded disease specialist Dr. Jeffrey Klausner , described the results of the study as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Daily Beast .
Prominent virologist Dr. Angela Rasmussen used the very same word in describing the study to The Beast .
Both Klausner and Rasmussen noted the size of the rally and the crowd ’ s apparent failure to take mitigating precautions .

Go to a superspreader event and blatantly disregard masking and social distancing and come away with coronavirus , take it home and give it to others by direct , secondary , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resulted from attending this event , which had a total of 460,000 attendees .
How do we know how many coronavirus cases have been generated by the Sturgis Bike Rally which was held from August 7-16 and had a reported 365,000 vehicles in attendance , with their rider or riders ?
A new study by the IZA Institute of Labor Economics tracked anonymized cellphone data for the 10 days of the event .
“ Smartphone pings from non-residents ” and “ foot traffic at restaurants and bars , retail establishments , entertainment venues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Stay-at-home hours for local residents fell during the same time period .
The annual event ran from Aug. 7-16 and drew more than 365,000 vehicles , according to South Dakota ’ s Department of Transportation .
Shame on South Dakota Governor , Kristi Noem ( R ) for supporting the rally and also disputing this analysis ’ s claims .
She had the power to cancel it and to keep thousands of people safe .
Instead , this super supporter of Trump did an irresponsible thing .
She calls this report an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All the assaulting is now being done by COVID-19 .
Total disregard for the veracity of coronavirus and a mentality of a gnat create a very ugly picture….Carol

How do we know how many coronavirus cases have been generated by the Sturgis Bike Rally which was held from August 7-16 and had a reported 365,000 vehicles in attendance, with their rider or riders?
A new study by the IZA Institute of Labor Economics tracked anonymized cellphone data for the 10 days of the event. “Smartphone pings from non-residents” and “foot traffic at restaurants and bars, retail establishments, entertainment venues, hotels and campgrounds each rose substantially.” Stay-at-home hours for local residents fell during the same time period.
The annual event ran from Aug. 7-16 and drew more than 365,000 vehicles, according to South Dakota’s Department of Transportation.
Shame on South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem (R) for supporting the rally and also disputing this analysis’s claims. She had the power to cancel it and to keep thousands of people safe. Instead, this super supporter of Trump did an irresponsible thing. She calls this report an assault on those who attended this rally. All the assaulting is now being done by COVID-19.
Total disregard for the veracity of coronavirus and a mentality of a gnat create a very ugly picture….Carol

ESTACADA, Ore. – Deadly windblown wildfires raging across the Pacific Northwest destroyed hundreds of homes in Oregon, the governor said Wednesday, warning it could be the greatest loss of life and property from wildfire in state history.
“GO Now!”
The blazes from the top of the state to the California border caused highway closures and smoky skies and had firefighers struggling to contain and douse flames fanned by 50 mph (80 kph) wind gusts. Officials in some western Oregon communities gave residents “go now” orders to evacuate, meaning they had minutes to flee their homes.
Fires were burning in a large swath of Washington state and Oregon that rarely experiences such intense wildfire activity because of the Pacific Northwest’s cool and wet climate.
Flames trapped firefighters and civilians behind fire lines in Oregon and levelled an entire small town in eastern Washington. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown warned that the devastation could be overwhelming from the fires that exploded Monday during a late-summer wind storm.
At least three people were killed in Oregon fires and a small child died in blazes in Washington state. Brown said some communities were substantially damaged, with “hundreds of homes lost.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Winds gusting as high as 50 mph fanned dozens of catastrophic fires wildfires Wednesday across a large swath of Washington state and Oregon that rarely experiences such intense fire activity because of the Pacific Northwest’s cool and wet climate. Firefighters were struggling to try to contain and douse the blazes and officials in some places were giving residents just minutes to evacuate their homes.
The fires trapped firefighters and civilians behind fire lines in Oregon and leveled an entire small town in eastern Washington.
The scenes were similar to California’s terrifying wildfire drama, where residents have fled fires raging unchecked throughout the state. But officials in the Pacific Northwest said they did not recall ever having to deal with so many destructive fires at once in the areas where they were burning.
Sheriff’s deputies, traveling with chain saws in their patrol cars to cut fallen trees blocking roads, went door to door in rural communities 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Portland, telling people to evacuate. Since Tuesday, as many as 16,000 people have been told to abandon their homes.
“These winds are so incredible and are spreading so fast, we don’t have a lot of time,” said Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts.
Fires were burning in seven Oregon counties and rural and suburban homes miles away from Portland, Oregon’s largest city, were under preliminary orders to prepare for possible evacuations. Three prisons were evacuated late Tuesday and Gov. Kate Brown called the state’s blazes unprecedented.

Wind storms downed power lines and tens of thousands of people lost power in the northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. Near Eugene, Oregon, dozens of people ordered to evacuate on Tuesday couldn’t get out because fire debris was blocking roads, according to the Oregon State Fire Marshal.
Fire crews eventually helped 46 people escape.
And on Monday, 70 people were hemmed in by fire along with firefighters near the small city of Detroit, Oregon, the Idanha-Detroit Fire District said in a Facebook post.
An evacuation by helicopter was requested but the smoke was too thick for that kind of rescue operation, so they eventually escaped on dirt roads used by the U.S. Forest Service.

veteranstoday--2020-09-11--Abe the Fox: Trump bad for America and bad for the Jews

VT : Foxman built the organization , the MEGA billionaires led by gambling boss Shelly Adelson and the Kosher Nostra oligarch/mobsters that rigged the 2000 election , the 2004 election and put Trump in office though he lost the popular vote by not 4 million but closer to 15 million votes .
Now he wants to join with VT to damn his own stepchild .
OK , this is his chance and we thus give him the space to make his point .
Abe could apologize to VT but all we can say is ‘ too little/too late.
’ For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America , like he is asking others to do now , “ anti-Semitism.
” Now that Jews around the world face the gas chambers again… ( for holocaust denialists , for the first time ) … By Abe Foxman , former head of the ADL and longtime blood enemy of VT Times of Israel : Nothing pains me more than to speak up with anguish in the face of this presidential election .
But silence is not an option .
American Jewry confronts a fateful choice .
Another four years of Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blow for our country and our community .
I must acknowledge the unexpected nature of this statement .
For more than half a century , I avoided public positions on electoral politics .
When I chose a career working for the Jewish people , I took on a sacred obligation , like so many other professionals , to avoid taking sides in partisan contests — an obligation I carried into retirement .
When our democracy is weakened , and when nativism is stoked , the rights of Jews and other minorities will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overnight , but it will happen , and Jews know this well from bitter experience .
I respect any American , and any Jewish American , who continues to identify with and support the Republican party , which has made significant and lasting contributions to the Jewish community .
And I understand why some of these voters are struggling with their decision .
In my mind , the case is closed .
His leadership endangers our democracy , and therefore our community .
My reasoning is simple and stark : Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — has given succor to bigots , supremacists , and those seeking to divide our society .
He and his administration dehumanize immigrants , demonize the most vulnerable , and undermine the civility and enlightened political culture that have allowed Jews to achieve what no Diaspora community outside Israel can claim in two millennia .
What ’ s more , American Jews look beyond our own parochial interests , for we know that our future is inextricably tied to the welfare of others .
Promoting tolerance , inclusion , and equality is non-negotiable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inseparable part of our collective story — and my own , as a Holocaust survivor and a refugee .
We must ask ourselves : Is America stronger , more stable and more caring , than it was before Trump entered office ?
For me , the answer is clear .
No .
I know I am not alone .
Talk to Jewish community leaders in private and read surveys of the Jewish public .
After decades of progress , following successive generations of rising metrics of safety and security , Jews are filled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shoulders a good measure of the blame .
Is the president of the United States an anti-Semite ?
No .
But that ’ s not the right question .
Has his leadership lifted America ?
Has it made Jews feel more secure ?
Is he our best hope for healing our nation and addressing the twin crises of a pandemic and a reckoning with racism ?
If anyone needs another reason , look beyond our borders .
A stable , credible , influential , revered — and sometimes feared — America has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades , often in ways that are most clearly visible to those of us working behind the scenes on behalf of global Jewish causes .
Remember freedom for Soviet , Ethiopian , and Syrian Jewry .
Here , too , there is no doubt in my mind that Trump ’ s failings of character and America ’ s dismal global standing have hurt Jewish interests .
It is true that Trump has made decisions that many in our community have waited for , including his decision on Jerusalem , which I support .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost of Trump ’ s frontal assault on bipartisan support for Israel , and some have been clothed in deeply offensive stereotypes about Jews and their ties to the Jewish state .
Our community has an enormous stake in bipartisanship .
It is the only way to combat anti-Semitism and bigotry .
It is how we built a strong US-Israel alliance .
Indeed , I grew up in an America where Jews were not fully integrated and Washington ’ s support for Israel was wafer thin .
Yet the reality is different now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conscience have cultivated and sustained the broadest possible base of support for this agenda .
Trump has damaged that necessary consensus , and we can not permit Jews and Israel to be weaponized for anyone ’ s narrow political interests .
We do have reason for hope .
I have known Joe Biden for many years , and I have confidence he will restore the equilibrium that has been lost .
He has been an ally , and he has repeatedly pledged to aggressively fight anti-Semitism .
I am confident he and Kamala @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israel ’ s enemies and detractors , even if they emerge within their own party .
I am old enough to remember a world where illiberalism ran amok and dictators held vast numbers of our brothers and sisters hostage , behind Iron Curtains and worse .
And I am old enough to recall a style of Jewish American politics that was more quietist , more hesitant , a politics of a minority too accustomed to keeping its head down .
But thankfully , American Jews left this behind — yet another reason I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point in history .
Nor can any of us , for the sake of our nation , our people and our world .
Abraham H. Foxman is director emeritus of the Anti-Defamation League .
These views are his own .

Foxman built the organization, the MEGA billionaires led by gambling boss Shelly Adelson and the Kosher Nostra oligarch/mobsters that rigged the 2000 election, the 2004 election and put Trump in the office though he lost the popular vote by not 4 million but closer to 15 million votes.
Now he wants to join VT to damn his own stepchild. OK, this is his chance and we thus give him the space to make his point.
Abe could apologize to VT but all we can say is ‘too little/too late.’
For decades, Abe called standing up for America, like he is asking others to do now, “anti-Semitism.” Now that Jews around the world face the gas chambers again.
Foxman addresses American Jews, not like they are children, but as though they are “lesser peoples.” He praises Trump for all the horrific things he did on behalf of Israel that caused so much suffering for others, assuming Jews are so stupid they don’t know right from wrong.
Our question is whether they care. Our hope is yes, though Foxman makes it clear that he believes Jews have no moral center. Could he be an anti-Semite? He certainly sounds like one – Gordon Duff

Times of Israel: Nothing pains me more than to speak up with anguish in the face of this presidential election. But silence is not an option. American Jewry confronts a fateful choice. Another four years of Donald Trump will be nothing less than a body blow for our country and our community.
I must acknowledge the unexpected nature of this statement. For more than half a century, I avoided public positions on electoral politics. When I chose a career working for the Jewish people, I took on a sacred obligation, like so many other professionals, to avoid taking sides in partisan contests — an obligation I carried into retirement.
But there is more than enough evidence Trump is a demagogue and his presidency threatens American democracy.
When our democracy is weakened, and when nativism is stoked, the rights of Jews and other minorities will be diminished too. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, and Jews know this well from bitter experiences.
I respect any American, and any Jewish American, who continues to identify with and support the Republican party, which has made significant and lasting contributions to the Jewish community. And I understand why some of these voters are struggling with their decision.
In my mind, the case is closed. His leadership endangers our democracy, and therefore our community.
My reasoning is simple and stark: Trump’s presidency — in spirit and in deed — has given succor to bigots, supremacists, and those seeking to divide our society. He and his administration dehumanize immigrants, demonize the most vulnerable, and undermine the civility and enlightened political culture that has allowed Jews to achieve what no Diaspora community outside Israel can claim in two millennia.
What’s more, American Jews look beyond our own parochial interests, for we know that our future is inextricably tied to the welfare of others. Promoting tolerance, inclusion, and equality is non-negotiable. Defending immigrants and refugees is an inseparable part of our collective story — and my own, as a Holocaust survivor and a refugee.
We must ask ourselves: Is America stronger, more stable, and more caring than it was before Trump entered office?
For me, the answer is clear. No. I know I am not alone.
Talk to Jewish community leaders in private and read surveys of the Jewish public. After decades of progress, following successive generations of rising metrics of safety and security, Jews are filled with fear and anxiety. President Trump shoulders a good measure of the blame.
Is the president of the United States an anti-Semite?
No. But that’s not the right question.
Has his leadership lifted America? Has it made Jews feel more secure? Is he our best hope for healing our nation and addressing the twin crises of a pandemic and a reckoning with racism?
If anyone needs another reason, look beyond our borders. A stable, credible, influential, revered — and sometimes feared — America has been a force multiplier for world Jewry for decades, often in ways that are most clearly visible to those of us working behind the scenes on behalf of global Jewish causes. Remember freedom for Soviet, Ethiopian, and Syrian Jewry.
Here, too, there is no doubt in my mind that Trump’s failings of character and America’s dismal global standing have hurt Jewish interests.
It is true that Trump has made decisions that many in our community have waited for, including his decision on Jerusalem, which I support. But these decisions have come at the cost of Trump’s frontal assault on bipartisan support for Israel, and some have been clothed in deeply offensive stereotypes about Jews and their ties to the Jewish state.
Our community has an enormous stake in bipartisanship. It is the only way to combat anti-Semitism and bigotry. It is how we built a strong US-Israel alliance.
Indeed, I grew up in an America where Jews were not fully integrated and Washington’s support for Israel was wafer thin. Yet the reality is different now, in large part because leaders of conscience have cultivated and sustained the broadest possible base of support for this agenda.
Trump has damaged that necessary consensus, and we cannot permit Jews and Israel to be weaponized for anyone’s narrow political interests.
We do have a reason for hope. I have known Joe Biden for many years, and I have confidence he will restore the equilibrium that has been lost. He has been an ally, and he has repeatedly pledged to aggressively fight anti-Semitism. I am confident he and Kamala Harris will not back down from confronting Israel’s enemies and detractors, even if they emerge within their own party.
I am old enough to remember a world where illiberalism ran amok and dictators held vast numbers of our brothers and sisters hostage, behind Iron Curtains and worse.
And I am old enough to recall a style of Jewish American politics that was more quietist, more hesitant, a politics of a minority too accustomed to keeping its head down.
But thankfully, American Jews left this behind — yet another reason I cannot be silent at this inflection point in history.
Nor can any of us, for the sake of our nation, our people, and our world.
