Muslim Student Activist Insults Israeli Foreign Minister At Harvard Law School




Harvard Crimson editors and law school administration tried to protect the identity of the Muslim student activist who was accused of insulting the Israeli Foreign Minister. But fellow students outed him in the many comments under this story, also reported in the Harvard Law Record. Notice Crimson headline calling it "perceived Anti-Semitism."

[From article]
The event, titled “The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the U.S.,” was a discussion between Livni and U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross co-sponsored by the Jewish Law Students Association and Harvard Hillel. During the question-and-answer session following the event, an unidentified student asked Livni, “How is it that you are so smelly?... A question about the odor of Ms. Tzipi Livni, she’s very smelly, and I was just wondering.”
The remark drew quick condemnation. Law School Dean Martha L. Minow sent an email to school affiliates on Tuesday denouncing the comment as inappropriate. “The comment was offensive and it violated the trust and respect we expect in our community. Many perceive it as anti-Semitic, and no one would see it as appropriate,” she wrote. “It was an embarrassment to this institution and an assault upon the values we seek to uphold.”
[. . .]
By Wednesday, the remark had sparked controversy on the other side of the world, as several Israeli newspapers began covering the story. The Jerusalem Post published a story about the incident, and Hamodia—described as the “Daily Newspaper of Torah Jewry”—wrote that Livni had been “subjected to verbal abuse” at the Law School.
The backlash prompted the student who made the remark to publish an anonymous apology in The Record, denying that he intended his comments to be anti-Semitic and expressing regret for any harm he might have caused.
“I am writing to apologize, as sincerely as I can via this limited form of communication, to anyone who may have felt offended by the comments I made last week,” the student wrote. “I can see now… how my words could have been interpreted as a reference to an anti-Semitic stereotype, one that I was entirely unaware of prior to the publication of this article.”

Censorship By Civility, Leads To Rage and Violence




[From article]
In a veiled reference to Trump at a recent lunch on Capitol Hill, President Obama declared he was “dismayed” at the “vulgar and divisive rhetoric” being heard on the campaign trail. “In America, there is no law that says we have to be nice to each other, or courteous, or treat each other with respect,” the president said. “But there are norms. There are customs.”
Are there? When I hear this sort of thing from Obama and his fellow leftists, what I wonder is: Have they not listened to themselves for the past 50 years? Do they really have no idea how vicious, how low, how cruel, and how dishonest their attacks on the Right have been?
No, they haven’t; and, no, they don’t. The Democrat-monopolized media, which explodes with rage at any minor unmannerliness on the right, falls so silent at the Left’s almost ceaseless acrimony that leftists are never forced to confront what despicable little Trumps they often are.
It begins with the Democratic leadership. Last August, principled Republicans opposed Obama’s foolish nuclear deal with Iran. Obama’s response? He compared them to terrorists. “Those hard-liners chanting ‘Death to America,’” he said. “They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.” And yet “there are norms. There are customs.”
[. . .]



With the help of the media, leftists have even managed to bake their rudeness into the language itself, redefining standard behavior with offensive phrases. They use “objectification of women” to describe men’s normal sexual yearnings; “racial profiling” to describe street-smart police work that protects citizens of every color; and “climate deniers” (ala “Holocaust deniers,” for God’s sake) to describe those who call baloney on one of the great scams of our generation.
These off-handed insults have a purpose and a rationale. The mental tyranny that goes by the name of political correctness wrongly assumes that the human heart is infinitely malleable and that words can endlessly reshape the reality of its experience. Force people to declare that all cultures are morally equal, and morally equal those cultures will become; demand we pretend that gender differences are a myth, and gender differences will disappear; shame us out of noticing the color of a criminal’s skin, and crime statistics will lose their power.
[. . .]



It is in seeking these transformations that the Left has felt blithely justified in sneering at opposing opinions it deems racist, sexist, or otherwise hateful. But it just doesn’t work. The eyes see what they see; the heart knows what it knows. Bottle up the human experience in silence, and it will ultimately break forth in rage. Thus, the result of these last 50 years of ceaseless left-wing incivility has been not a rainbow-striped paradise of social justice, but the utter collapse of our civic dialogue as the Right now responds with vulgar cruelty of its own. “Those to whom evil is done,” as the poet Auden wrote, “do evil in return.”
You might say to me, as my mother used to say, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” But I say to you, as I used to say to my mother, “They started it.”

The Nastiest Insult to Call a Black Man, According to Liberals

Labor Day Lawyers and Landlords September 7, 2015




Labor Day 2015 arrived with no expectations from me that it would be any different than any other day of the year. I was right. Except it was worse. For the past 45 years various crime families, police agencies, FBI informants, Communists and assorted psychopaths, including but not limited to Harvard University campus police, and building superintendents, took turns conducting a brutal relentless campaign of harassment, insults, provocations, druggings (poisoning under state felony statute), ridicule, humiliation and character assassination. During the past 20 years much of it took place on property owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College.

My hundreds, if not thousands of complaints to police, the FBI, the District Attorney, the Attorney General, the US Attorney, Harvard University administrators, and numerous human services agencies were ignored. All the previous Labor Days were the same. One of the many psychopaths who currently harass me is a black homosexual police employee and a Boston FBI informant. What makes Boston FBI informants special is that office is notorious for employing murderers, drug dealers, rapists, and child molesters as informants. One was the crime boss of Massachusetts. The crime boss's brother was President of the Massachusetts State Senate, and later president of the University of Massachusetts. He retired with a state pension of almost $200,000 per year. Many state employees try to imitate this retiree.

The black homosexual police employee and FBI informant was a landlord of mine for a few weeks. When I saw him talking with the crime boss of Massachusetts I immediately moved out. I learned later that the landlord was working for not only the police and the FBI but also for a gang of lawyers who are behind the many years of harassment I experienced. Who is better situated than lawyers to hire police, FBI informants, psychiatrists, police informants and assorted court employees to thwart my efforts to obtain relief from the harassment. Most lawyers are high ranking members of the Favor Bank.

Every few weeks, maybe once a month the black homosexual police and FBI employee would appear where I lived and make threats "You can't talk." Originally I wondered why. Then I realized it was he who couldn't talk. He was a police employee abusing his power in state and US government on behalf of criminals. If I talked he would be in trouble. But I often mentioned him on my blog, and no one ever tried to stop his infrequent visits. Well he appeared on Labor Day 2015 and again made his usual threats. That indicates he is still worried.


Imprisoned Massachusetts crime boss, James "Whitey" Bulger, convicted of Eleven homicides.

The only Boston FBI agent, John Connolly, who was held accountable for his role as handler of the crime boss, was convicted of murder in a Florida state court. One other agent died awaiting trial for his role in a homicide. No other Boston agents were ever penalized for their gross intentional negligence and malfeasance. There is no will in the US government to clean up the FB I and the Department of Justice.

That supports my belief that just because the crime boss was jailed and three of his close advisors also went to jail, did not mean the crime family evaporated. In fact the first time I mentioned it in my blog, a few of them came by and gave me awful looks. It appears that they do have many people convinced that the organization disappeared when the boss went to jail. That is nonsense.



At a book reading of Black Mass, a book by Dick Lehr and Gerard K. O'Neill, February 21, 2013,

I asked them that question. The audience and they laughed knowing I was right. You can see me ask the question at this link.

http://www.c-span.org/video/?311176-1/book-discussion-whitey

My questions begin at about 26:35 into the video.



That was my special Labor Day 2015 treat. Being harassed by a repeating visitor making threats. As I continued being a target of 45 years of criminal abuses, thousands of refugees are swarming into European nations from the Middle East, and into the United States from Mexico, China and other countries. It is unknown how many of them are terrorists, or criminals masquerading as victims. It shows how misguided the government priorities of the United States is. They permit 45 years of abuse of a law abiding citizen and ignore violent crimes by illegal immigrants into the country. Can it get any more depraved than this? I guess it can. Let's watch.

And so it does. A charming and delightful young woman Harvard University campus police employee joined the abuse team the day after Labor Day. She joined some black police employees who ridicule and humiliate me because they say, “He’s crazy.” For them being crazy entitles harassing, provoking, insulting a person because, well because he’s vulnerable and who listens to people with legal disabilities anyway. Huh? And further only black people are victims and need the respect and love of everyone else.

White House Out Of Ideas, Calls Dissenters, Crazies




The president was elected as the great black hope. He brought his degrees from Columbia University and from Harvard Law School. No one seems to know him from Columbia. One alumni who says he was a classmate of Obama works in Las Vegas. He reports that Obama was a militant Muslim when he was at Columbia. At Harvard he was president of the Law Review without writing or publishing any legal treatise. He brought promises of lowering the oceans. He was going to heal the racial divide and bring hope and change to the nation. What he brought was division. Lies. Rhetoric. Speeches with nothing behind them. Pure hot air. He began calling anyone who disagreed with him racists. Then he added they were bitter clingers to religion and guns. He added they were haters. Now into his penultimate year in office he is calling people who disagree with him the crazies. That is an improvement? He is slandering persons with disabilities as well as making clear his belief that crazy people are not to be believed, and that no one should pay any attention to them. He shows more and more of his bigotry as the more he speaks with his support teleprompter.



[From article]
Just back from his annual summer vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, President Barack Obama has returned to disparaging his political adversaries and anyone who happens to disagree with him on policy.



According to a report in Politico, the president has taken to describing opponents of the hugely controversial Iran deal as “crazies.” The so-called “crazies” now include a majority of members of the House and Senate, a large chunk of the American electorate according to opinion polls, and the government of Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It is significant that several leading figures in the president’s own party have declared their opposition to the Iran deal, including Charles Schumer, the senior senator for New York, and Eliot Engel, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Relations Committee from New York.

Cambridge MA Editorial Insults Persons With Disabilities




Do not know the source material for this editorial. (Editorial: Prisons and mental illness, Aug. 7, 2015, CAMBRIDGE Chronicle) But it makes unsupported statements which conflate crime, homelessness and psychiatry. The conclusions are extremely offensive to anyone ever accused of mental illness. There is no evidence of any causal connection between crime, violence and a psychiatric diagnosis. It is a pervasive misguided belief by journalists, lawyers and politicians. The drug industry supports the psychiatric industry promoting these literally fantastic beliefs. It is great for increasing the client base and income of those industries. But it remains unsupported by facts. It is one method of institutional demonizing of persons with disabilities which this editorial makes worse. Stop the insults.

[From editorial]
Massachusetts is at last beginning to come to grips with the fact that its prisons and jails are crowded with people whose “crimes” are inseparable from their mental illnesses. 
[. . .]
The state’s efforts will focus on individuals whose mental health issues are the underlying reason behind their imprisonment.
[. . .]
80 percent of the prisoners are held for crimes directly traceable to drug addiction or mental illness.

Florida College Fraternity Suspended For Attacks on Veterans




[From article]
The University of Florida suspended one of its fraternities on Friday after allegations that its members hurled drunken insults and spat at a group of disabled military veterans at a Panama City Beach resort.
The school said on Friday that it is charging the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity with obscene behavior, public intoxication, theft, causing physical or other harm, and damage to property.
The suspension came after the fraternity had already suspended operations itself and expelled three of its members after finding they had behaved inappropriately.
[. . .]
The veterans were there for an annual retreat meant to honor their service, and the fraternity had a social function.
Linda Cope, founder of the warrior group, says the frat members were urinating on flags and verbally abusive.
"They were urinating off of balconies, vomiting off of balconies. They could see the men and women below were there with the retreat. They had on hats and shirts with logos," Cope said.
Members of Zeta Beta Tau from the University of Florida and Emory University in Georgia were attending their spring formals at the resort.
[. . .]
About 60 veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan were also attending a retreat that has been held twice a year for the past six years at the resort. Cope started the event in honor of her son Joshua, who lost both legs in Baghdad in 2006 when a roadside bomb exploded under his Humvee.
[. . .]
Zeta Beta Tau's Florida chapter has 128 active members. The organization was founded in New York City in 1898 as a fraternity for Jewish students, who at the time weren't allowed in fraternities.

White House Began Insulting Americans First Day In Office




[From article]
On January 21, 2009, about three-quarters of the way through his first inaugural address, after paragraphs of bromides about American greatness, he alluded to the menace of militant Islam:
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth…
It has become customary in our time to speak of America as a Judeo-Christian civilization because the facts of history show that, so “a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus” as a new formulation of the melting pot meme was a major departure.
[. . .]
Muslims, by contrast, played no role in the making of America. There is no evidence of a Muslim presence before the 20th century. Yet here on that January day was the brand new American President orating that the U.S. was “a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus…”
In this formulation, the Jews have been bumped back to third place, elbowed, so to speak, aside by Muslims who take their place. This recalls what happened in the 7th century when their Prophet Muhammad told his followers that they had replaced the Jews as Allah’s Chosen People.
[. . .]
Jefferson spent five years in France after the Revolution as a trade commissioner, then ambassador. That is when he bought his Koran, because almost every day of these years there were American hostages enslaved in North Africa that he struggled to but failed to liberate. In this period, he even met in London with an ambassador from the Bashaw (pasha) of Tripoli, a predecessor of Muammar Gaddafi who demanded $100,000 not to begin hijacking American ships and enslaving all the people aboard. Jefferson listened as the ambassador cited the jihad as the justification for this behavior. That was in 1786.
[. . .]
When he entered the Oval Office the next morning to begin work as president -- with the U.S. economy in a crisis not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s -- he asked that his first phone call as president be put through not to some expert on economics but Mahmoud Abbas, the Holocaust Denier and international Muslim terrorist criminal.

Updated: Man Slaps Woman On NYC Subway, After Her Relentless Insults, Brawl Results, Arrests Made, Charges Dropped


Posted November 10, 2014 8:36 PM ET; Last updated November 15, 2014 5:28 PM ET



[From article]
The man in the 8-ball jacket ​seen slapping a belligerent woman on the F train ​in an online video that went viral ​had all charges against him dropped Monday afternoon after authorities ​determined he was acting in self-defense, his lawyer told The Post.
Jorge Pena spent four nights in jail after the brawl, which ​was widely viewed after footage was posted ​to YouTube, before making his $1,000 bail early Tuesday.
A law enforcement source confirmed that all the charges against Pena were dismissed.

Pena’s lawyer, Cary London, said he thinks the charges were thrown out because the woman in the video appeared to be the aggressor.
“This time the system worked,” London said.
“Thank God for smartphones because the DA’s office was able to have all of the information in front of them at an early stage to show that our client did nothing wrong and acted in self-defense.”

The video shows a woman and her friends laughing at and taunting a man while on the train between the Broadway-Lafayette and West Fourth Street stations early Saturday.
“You got a wack— 8-ball jacket that came out in 1990,” Danay Howard, 21, yells at the man. “Get your money game up.”
Howard and two of her friends then notice another man filming the exchange with his cellphone. They run after him and one of them smacks the phone out of his hand.
The women then go back to insulting the man’s clothes, at which point Howard slaps the man from behind with her purse.
That’s when Kevin Gil, wearing the 8-ball jacket, turns around and smacks Howard hard across the face, knocking her off her feet.

Sarah Palin Responds to Insults, Ridicule



Governor Sarah Palin

Published on Oct 28, 2014
October 28th, 2014 • Governor Sarah Palin told Fox News host Stuart Varney that she has no intention of withdrawing politically, that the personal attacks she receives from "those haters out there", only serve to motivate her further.
Varney asked if the "disgraceful", "hatred level" directed at Palin over the years had "driven her out of politics for good."
"No, bless their hearts. Those haters out there, they don't understand that it invigorates me, it wants me to get out there and defend the innocent. It makes me want to work so hard for justice in this country. So hey, the more they're pouring on, the more I'm gonna bug the crap out them by being out there, with a voice, with a message, hopefully running for office again in the future too."

Danish Muslim Clergy Insults Jews




[From article]
Muslim clerics and leaders have in the past come under fire for referring to Jews as “descendants of apes and pigs,” which some claim is based on imagery used in the Koran.
According to MEMRI, Samha’s sermon was delivered in the town of Funen (Fyn), Denmark and was uploaded to the Internet on September 19.
“Palestine has been and will remain the land of Islam. It is the land of Islam – a sacred and blessed land. It is the land of the gathering and resurrection [on Judgment Day],'” Samha said in his sermon, referring to the infamous Judgement Day hadith from the Koran.
The passage foretells of a time when Muslims will kill all Jews.

US Sen. Boxer Forgets Her Insults




[From article]< Barbara Boxer was “shaking and trembling” in shock at Senator Corker’s supposedly harsh questioning of Secretary of State John Kerry about his announced plans to destroy the Islamic State. Oh, how we forget. Do we remember Senator Boxer in 2005 when she grilled National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice in hearings following the latter’s nomination to the position of secretary of state—likewise at a time of war? Boxer called Secretary of State designate Rice a veritable liar (e.g., selling a war “overwhelmed your respect for the truth”). Not much respect there.
Worse, two years later she then stooped to suggest that the fact that Rice was single and childless made her less credible in advocating the removal of Saddam Hussein (“You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family.”) Again, as in the case of Vice President Joe Biden’s use of “Shylock,” we are back to the medieval practice of exemption.

Iranian Sentenced To Death For Facebook Post "Insulting the Prophet Mohammed"


[From article]
A blogger found guilty of insulting the Prophet Mohammad in his postings on Facebook has been sentenced to death. An informed source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that the blogger, Soheil Arabi, will be able to appeal the decision until September 20, 2014.
Agents from the Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Sarallah Base arrested Soheil Arabi, 30, and his wife in November 2013. Arabi’s wife was released a few hours later, but he was kept in solitary confinement for two months inside IRGC’s Ward 2-A at Evin Prison, before he was transferred to Evin’s General Ward 350. Branch 76 of the Tehran Criminal Court, under Judge Khorasani, found Arabi guilty of “sabb al-nabi” (insulting the Prophet), on August 30, 2014.
[. . .]
“Article 262 of the Islamic Penal Code states that if a person insults the Prophet of Islam, his punishment is death. But in Article 264, it explicitly says that if a suspect merely claims in court that he said the insulting words in anger, in quoting someone, or by mistake, his death sentence will be converted to 74 lashes. I would like to emphasize that if only the suspect claims this, he will not be eligible for death, and there is no need to even prove his claim,” added the source.
“Unfortunately, despite this Article and the explanations provided, the judges issued the death sentence. They didn’t even take any notice of Soheil’s statements in court in which he repeated several times that he wrote the posts under poor [psychological] conditions, and that he is remorseful. Three of the judges ruled for the death sentence, and two ruled for imprisonment,” said the source.

Michelle Malkin Responds to Bloomberg Insults Of Colorado



Billionaire and Former New York City Mayor

Does Malkin know that Bloomberg is from Massachusetts?

[From article]
According to the Center for an Urban Future's Adam Forman, "1,000 miles of water mains, 170 school buildings and 165 bridges were constructed over a century ago. The city's public hospital buildings are 57 years old, on average, and 531 public housing towers were built prior to 1950." The center's report documented 403 water main breaks last year. And in 2012, "162 bridges across the city — or 11 percent of the total — were structurally deficient," and 47 of these were deemed "fracture critical."
Take a Big Gulp of these additional fun facts:



— "Thirty seven percent of all subway signals exceed their 50-year useful life, slowing the movement of trains."
— "Approximately 4,000 miles of sewer pipe across the city are made of vitreous clay, a material susceptible to cracking and blockage.
— Meanwhile, 1,500 of the 2,600 public housing buildings do not comply with local standards for exterior and facade conditions.

Democrats Exhibit Contempt For Voters and Taxpayers




[From article]
When a former Speaker of the House of Representatives announces that she is going down to our border to greet and welcome masses of people crossing that border illegally, you know that something is fundamentally wrong.
No one knows, or apparently cares, what diseases these floods of illegals are bringing into the country, including diseases that have been largely stamped out in the United States, and which American doctors have seldom seen enough to know how to spot them or treat them.
No one knows, or apparently cares, how many of these "children" include teenage criminal gangs to whom murder is no big deal. Worst of all, no one knows, or apparently cares, that the elected representatives of the American people were cut out of the loop when it came to making these decisions.
[. . .]
As if to make clear the elite's contempt for ordinary Americans' intelligence, President Obama tells us that the people crossing the border "love" America. How could he possibly know that,
[. . .]
What is involved are not just bad policy choices. What is involved are policies imposed unilaterally by the president, in defiance of Congress' authority to legislate and in contempt of the Constitution's separation of powers — on which all our freedoms ultimately depend.
[. . .]
This arrogant abuse of power does not end with the federal government. In Massachusetts, teenager Justina Pelletier was taken from her parents' custody and held virtually incommunicado for over a year, because her parents preferred to continue to have her treated as the physicians at a medical facility associated with Tufts University had treated her, even though shrinks at Children's Hospital in Boston said her problems were in her head, and took her off some of her medications.

Film Producer Tries To Capture Sarah Palin In Compromising, Insulting Photo



[From article]
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin rejected overtures from True Blood's producers for a cameo role on the conservative-bashing vampire show. Her instincts proved to be correct after Sunday's HBO episode in which Republican women were once again demeaned when one of the lead characters said in horror, "Oh my God, I'm a Republi-c*nt."
Palin told Breitbart News after she heard about the misogynistic episode that she simply wondered, "'True Blood' or true gall?"
"The brilliant minds of 'True Blood' were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general," Palin told Breitbart News. "Their offer wasn’t presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway."
Palin also had some choice words for hypocritical Hollywood liberals who often gin up the phony "war on women" rhetoric.
