Increased Jew Hatred In Massachusetts, Politicians Are Role Models

Newton Mayor Setti Warren responded to a question from Charles Jacobs at a community discussion at a community meeting on April 7.

Interesting article yet lacking in specifics. Professor Sarna recognizes the role of politicians in creating a hateful atmosphere. Campaigning for president former U.S. Senator, First Lady, and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton called Republican candidate Donald Trump, crazy and dangerous. That is the pervasive attitude promoted by police, lawyers, courts, and politicians toward persons with disabilities. It is seldom recognized as hateful not even by journalists, who join in the hate campaign against disabled persons. Not distinguishing between lawful and unlawful discrimination in Massachusetts, the Attorney General indicates her less than thoughtful idea on the issue. Though she is quick to note any slight toward homosexuals and their powerful lobbyists. The AG seldom notices or expresses any concern about institutionalized bigotry toward persons with disabilities. Then there is the senior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who was a professor of law at Harvard Law School. Being relentlessly humiliated for her identity by conservative journalists she was unable refrain from employing personal attacks against Donald Trump. Is she a role model indicating her approval of hatred toward persons with who she disagrees?

Reports of anti-Semitic incidents are soaring this year across New England, an increase fueled by vandalism, harassment, and other acts at schools and colleges, according to statistics released Wednesday by the Anti-Defamation League.
According to the ADL, there have already been 56 anti-Semitic acts in the region this year, nearly as many as for all of 2015, when 61 were reported.
The data alarmed Jewish clergy and academics, who said the incidents suggest a rising level of intolerance that may feed on the rhetoric from the contentious political season.
“Clearly, people are acting out on some long-held stereotypes and hatred toward Jews, and it’s designed to send a message of intimidation,” said Robert Trestan, director of the New England Regional Office of the ADL. “We’re increasingly living in an environment where incivility is becoming common and accepted practice.”
[. . .]
Brandeis professor Jonathan Sarna said he believes a combination of social media, anti-Israel sentiment, and rhetoric from politicians has led to a sense of public acceptance of some anti-Semitism.
“There is a sense today that this kind of hatred is more acceptable and that the public square has become coarser than it had been in the past, and indeed, one senses that even in presidential politics that there is often a relationship,” Sarna said.
“We look to a candidate as role models. When they employ very coarse speech, and people take notice, it’s not a surprise that other folks do the same thing.’’
[. . .]
Among the schools scheduled to take part are all four middle schools in Newton. At Newton’s F.A. Day Middle School, three anti-Semitic incidents were reported this academic year, including graffiti reading “Burn the Jews” scrawled in a boy’s bathroom.
The incidents prompted Newton officials to hold a public meeting, which in itself became a divisive event.
Newton Mayor Setti Warren said Wednesday that he was not surprised to hear about the uptick in anti-Semitic incidents.
[. . .]
Harvard Law School emeritus professor Alan Dershowitz said it was hard to measure the current state of anti-Semitism in statistics since many incidents go unreported.
He said he receives around 50 anti-Semitic e-mails, letters, and phone calls each year but does not report them to law enforcement.
[. . .]
Attorney General Maura Healey, who has yet to see the full data, called hate crimes an “egregious” type of an attack.
“Even a single incident of bias and hate is one too many. Discrimination is unacceptable in any form,

United Nations Human Rights Council Ignores 45 Million Held in Slavery

[From article]
On May 31, 2016, the terrorist group Hamas executed three Palestinians, two by hanging, in Gaza City. A week earlier, Hamas had called for the resumption of capital punishment. To no one’s surprise, the silence about this from the UNHRC has been deafening. By contrast, a UNHRC resolution of March 24, 2016, initiated by Palestinians and sponsored by a number of Arab countries, was passed by a vote of 32 for, none against, and 15 abstentions.
The resolution concerned something called “Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory including East Jerusalem and Occupied Syrian Golan.” It called for a blacklist, a database of all business enterprises involved in Israeli settlements.
[. . .]



Ironically, the UNHRC resolution was passed on the very day registering the fifth year of the Syrian civil war, a conflict that has become not only regional but international and has brought such misery to the area and the world. The Arab commentary in the UNHRC on the day was not on the 250,000 killed or the millions of refugees caused by the war in Syria, or the migration crisis that has consumed Europe. Instead, it was limited to the assertion that construction in the Israeli settlements undermines the regional and international efforts to reach a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
The behavior of UNHRC as well as other international organizations, the BDS movement and activists, and so-called human rights groups towards Israel has largely been one of disgraceful bigotry and possibly manifestations of anti-Semitism. This is not liberal behavior but is reactionary as well as counterproductive in supporting the refusal of Palestinian authorities to come to the negotiating table with Israel.
This relentless concentration of effort and energy against the Jewish State has also meant neglecting almost entirely one of the world’s real great evils -- the existence of modern slavery. The UNHRC and the BDS bigots condemn products made by the labor of free individuals who may differ politically. They are not concerned with products made by slave labor.
The international community has paid little or no attention to the fact, as reported in a 2016 Global Slavery Index, that 46.8 million people are subject to some form of modern slavery. This condition is defined as possessing or controlling persons so as to deprive them of individual liberty through use, management, profit, or disposal.
Modern slavery has many dimensions. It would include domestic slavery, exploited labor, human trafficking, forced or servile marriages, sale or exploitation of children, women trapped in brothels, debt bondage, servitude, cleaning work, work without pay or under threat of penalty, removal of organs, and people subjected to violence. In modern slavery, persons are exploited and cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, abuse of power, or deception.
The paradox is that modern slavery exists despite the fact that all countries have declared slavery illegal. The number of slaves may well be higher because the survey in the Global Index of countries excluded places of conflict or where there was serious disruption of government functioning.
[. . .]



The Index presents a ranking of 167 countries based on the proportion of the population that is estimated to be in modern slavery. The countries with the highest estimated proportion are North Korea, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, India, and Qatar.
Qatar has the highest prevalence of slavery. In these countries there is forced labor, prison labor camps, forced marriages, sexual exploitation. The countries with the highest absolute numbers are India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan. The present U.S. presidential candidates might note that these are countries with low cost labor that allows them to undercut U.S. products.
[. . .]
India is the worst with 18 million slaves, while North Korea has the highest percentage of slaves per capita. Half, 58 %, of the 45.8 million are in five countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan.
The Index ranks ten counties in the Middle East. The situation there has been worsened by ISIS, the Islamist Caliphate, which, among other things, has sold women and children into slavery, and has issued statements on Sharia law saying that it is permissible to buy, sell, or give as gifts female captives and slaves because they are merely property. Forced marriages with child brides are frequent as are “temporary” or “tourist” marriages. Palestinians in Gaza have used children as suicide bombers and human shields.
[. . .]
The UNHRC, BDS bigots, and the relentless enemies of the State of Israel will be unhappy to learn of it, but the country with lowest proportion -- virtually zero -- of modern slaves is Israel. These bigots need to take account of the proper moral calculus in the Middle East, as well as turn their attention to the horrors of slavery.

Why is the UN Human Rights Council Not Concerned About Slavery?

Digital Intrusions at Federal Reserve

A man walks past the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington, D.C. December 16, 2015.

Politicians remain focused on getting re-elected, and stealing taxpayer money. Local police and US law enforcement agencies are unable to address cyber crime. Though government web sites are hacked as often as private corporations, individual citizens remain defenseless to computer crimes due to the negligence of governments. Clueless politicians continue to encourage more and more digital communications and information storage with little to no security.  

[From article]
The U.S. Federal Reserve detected more than 50 cyber breaches between 2011 and 2015, with several incidents described internally as 'espionage,' according to Fed records.
The central bank's staff suspected hackers or spies in many of the incidents, the records show. The Fed's computer systems play a critical role in global banking and hold confidential information on discussions about monetary policy that drives financial markets.
The cybersecurity reports, obtained by Reuters through a Freedom of Information Act request, were heavily redacted by Fed officials to keep secret the central bank's security procedures.
The Fed declined to comment, and the redacted records do not say who hacked the bank's systems or whether they accessed sensitive information or stole money.
'Hacking is a major threat to the stability of the financial system. This data shows why,' said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. Lewis reviewed the files at the request of Reuters.
The records represent only a slice of all cyber attacks on the Fed because they include only cases involving the Washington-based Board of Governors, a federal agency that is subject to public records laws. Reuters did not have access to reports by local cybersecurity teams at the central bank's 12 privately owned regional branches.
The disclosure of breaches at the Fed comes at a time when cybersecurity at central banks worldwide is under scrutiny after hackers stole $81 million from a Bank Bangladesh account at the New York Fed.
Cyber thieves have targeted large financial institutions around the world, including America's largest bank JPMorgan, as well as smaller players like Ecuador's Banco del Austro and Vietnam's Tien Phong Bank.
Hacking attempts were cited in 140 of the 310 reports provided by the Fed's board. In some reports, the incidents were not classified in any way.
In eight information breaches between 2011 and 2013 - a time when the Fed's trading desk was buying massive amounts of bonds - Fed staff wrote that the cases involved 'malicious code,' referring to software used by hackers.
Four hacking incidents in 2012 were considered acts of 'espionage,' according to the records. Information was disclosed in at least two of those incidents, according to the records. In the other two incidents, the records did not indicate whether there was a breach.
In all, the Fed's national team of cybersecurity experts, which operates mostly out of New Jersey, identified 51 cases of 'information disclosure' involving the Fed's board. Separate reports showed a local team at the board registered four such incidents.
The cases of information disclosure can refer to a range of ways unauthorized people see Fed information, from hacking attacks to Fed emails sent to the wrong recipients, according to two former Fed cybersecurity staffers who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The former employees said that cyber attacks on the Fed are about as common as at other large financial institutions.
It was unclear if the espionage incidents involved foreign governments, as has been suspected in some hacks of federal agencies. Beginning in 2014, for instance, hackers stole more than 21 million background check records from the federal Office of Personnel Management, and U.S. officials attributed the breach to the Chinese government, an accusation denied by Beijing.

White House Provides Taxpayer Funds For Jobs For Migrant Youth

[From article]
The Obama administration wants to make sure Utica, New York’s young refugees aren’t without a job, so he’s spending millions to make sure it doesn’t happen.
“Access to a job in the summer and beyond can make all the difference to a young person – especially those who don’t have access to many resources and opportunities,” President Obama said of his new Summer Opportunity Project.
The project spends a total of $21 million on a variety of programs in 11 communities nationwide with the focus of helping young people find summer work, and permanent part-time jobs, the White House and U.S. Department of Labor announced Monday.
At least $2 million of the total will be set aside to help 400 refugee students in Utica, New York get to work through the New Americans Career Pathways Project, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reports.
“The New Americans Career Pathways project will provide in-school youth with summer jobs and academic support for 400 students in the refugee populations of Utica, NY,” according to a White House Fact Sheet. “The students will receive summer job work experience and academic tutoring in English and Math, and support in finding part-time jobs.”
[. . .]
Nearly everyone who discussed the Utica program in the Syracuse.com comments was appalled that the president seems to be prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens for summer jobs in their region.
“Most divisive president ever adds to the legacy,” Dawn Of A New Day posted.
“This is absurd!” greats wrote. “Yes people, vote for Hillary. She wants this too. To heck with American youth. Let’s employ refugees who can’t even speak English! Go Trump! Stand up for America!”
“So legal Americans are not worthy of summer jobs?” RockwellSprings questioned. “Can’t wait for November.”
“What about OUR kids?” bastracker wrote. “I am thoroughly disgusted.”

White House Diverts Attention From Criminal Scandals With Non Gender Bathrooms

Agree that this is one of many issues used by PR flacks to divert attention, not just from important issues, but also from many criminal scandals of this lawless administration. What is extremely troubling is how alleged conservative pundits, including the erudite Mark Levin, no less the obedient mindless lame stream journalists, spend far too much time discussing these diversions.



[From article]
Let's add the battle over transgenders and bathrooms to Obama's favorite pastime of distractions.
To be honest, I think bathrooms are for boys and girls. This is why we identify them as such on the door. Furthermore, women are entitled to a sense of privacy about going to a public bathroom.
Most important of all, this is an issue that should be settled by state legislatures. We don't need a Roe v. Wade about bathrooms.



Let North Carolina decide. Let them figure this out, and they will.
In the meantime, the Obama administration should use its time to deal with real issues, such as:
1) Obamacare premiums: The rates are going up from coast to coast. They are about to explode in 2017.
[. . .]
2) The last GDP number started with a zero. In fact, the U.S. economy is weaker than anticipated:
[. . .]
3) The battles vs. ISIS is not going well. In fact, the public does not think we are winning, and with good reason.



So what do you do when Obamacare premiums are crushing family budgets, or the economy is losing steam and the wars on drugs and terror are lacking a strategy?
The answer is that you find topics to distract your base with, such as getting into a war with North Carolina over bathrooms.
Our Founding Fathers got this right many years ago. They gave the federal government certain responsibilities and left the rest to the states. This bathroom issue is for the states, and the Justice Department should get back to doing something important, such as enforcing immigration laws.

Cambridge, MA Politicians Boast of How They Spend Other People's Money

Taxpayers fund the Cambridge chapter of the Spending Other People's Money Society. Politicians speak as if it is their money. Money was saved in semi secret accounts by 31-year City Manager (now at Harvard University) Robert Healy. The weekly agenda reveals dozens of accounts from and to which money is regularly transfered. A sort of multiple card monte game which councilors ignore. If money is available, politicians will spend it. They never return money to taxpayers. Rejoicing in extra money, they do things like, "needs-assessment" Councillor Mazen said, adding “We’re seeing a huge change in the educational equity organizing.” Huh? Taking from taxpayers and giving to who? The report says wishfully, "The City Council plays a smaller role in the budget approval process than its does in other local affairs." Huh? Under the Plan E form of government the Council hires a Manager, has legislative power, and approves curb cuts. MGL Chapter 43, Sec. 107 says, "The city council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any subordinate of the city manager either publicly or privately. Any member of the city council who violates, [. . .] any provision of this section shall be punished by a fine [or] imprisonment, [. . .] or both, and [. . .] shall [be removed from office] and [. . .] never again be eligible for any office or position, elective or otherwise,"



[From article]

"We’ve managed to increase services and not cut services and still keep property taxes low,” Finance Committee Chair and Vice Mayor Marc C. McGovern said following Thursday's City Council Finance Committee meeting. “It is a pretty remarkable accomplishment in this day and age.”
[. . .]
“The non-profit coalition coming together to do this needs-assessment is something I’ve been talking about under other terminology since the beginning,” Councillor Nadeem A. Mazen said. “We’re seeing a huge change in the educational equity organizing.”
Property taxes remained steady this year thanks to what McGovern called “free cash,” the spending of a reserve of money saved for emergencies like floods or for other projects.
“It’s about $195-or-so million,” McGovern said. “It’s really from just over the years our pretty sound fiscal management where they’ve put money on the side.”
[. . .]



The City Council plays a smaller role in the budget approval process than its does in other local affairs. While the Council ultimately has final say, City Manager Richard C. Rossi and his office were responsible for crafting the more than 400-page document. Despite this lack of direct input, Mazen claimed the Council still holds some sway over what goes into the budget.
“There’s a little bit of Ouija clout-pressure on the budget where things I’ve advocated for tend to find their way into the budget,” Mazen said. “The Council should have several looks at the budget before we see a hard-copy and a couple looks at working collaboratively as a council to define the budget ahead of time.”
Harvard pays property taxes on non-educational buildings and provides extra funds to Cambridge in lieu of taxes. MIT and Cambridge have a similar relationship. Not including payments in lieu of taxes, the two universities make up over nine percent of the city’s tax base.
[. . .]
While not included in the FY 17 budget, earlier this week Rossi and Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone announced a joint effort to provide $75 million for the long-delayed Green Line extension project in northern Cambridge.
“Somerville and Cambridge will stand with the Commonwealth to advance the state of the art,” Rossi and Curtatone wrote in a statement. “We do so with the expectation that this is truly a new precedent for statewide policy, and that our communities will not be held to higher standards than other Massachusetts municipalities seeking state and federal financing for roadway, transit or other infrastructure projects.”
Rossi pledged $25 million from Cambridge, however such a plan must still be approved by the City Council. In a letter to the Council, Rossi said he would suggest the matter be forwarded to the City Council’s Transportation and Public Utilities Committee.

I personally am excited to see is the $1.3 million that will go toward moving Cambridge closer to affordable, universal, high-quality early childhood education for all children.
[. . .]
There isn’t a person in our city administration who doesn’t understand and isn’t committed to finding ways to maintain affordable housing in Cambridge, and we will continue to direct funds to try and stabilize an ever-increasing housing market that is leading to higher rent and home ownership prices, not just in Cambridge but in the entire Metro Boston area.
[. . .]
continued funding to address our homelessness and opioid crisis
[. . .]
we know that we have more work to do in order to be the socially just community we want to be.

What makes Cambridge different, is that our financial stability, combined with our commitment as a community to support one another, puts us in a position to address these complicated issues and to put resources behind them to move our city forward for all of our residents.

Celebrating Criminals, New Government Initiative

[From article]
A warning issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development yesterday points in the direction of eventually declaring criminals a protected class, the coveted status that gives a person more rights than ordinary Americans. Blake Neff of The Daily Caller News Foundation reports:
The Obama administration released a warning Monday telling the nation’s landlords that it may be discriminatory for them to refuse to rent to those with criminal records.
Now, technically, this is not (yet) making criminals into a protected class:
The Fair Housing Act doesn’t include criminals as a protected class, but the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says refusing to rent based on a criminal record is a form of racial discrimination, due to racial imbalances in the U.S. justice system.

Federal government paving the way to make criminals a protected class
By Thomas Lifson

Holy Week March 21-27, 2016

[Some of the events described herein have been reported previously on this blog. But because there are people harassing me at present who did not read my previous report, I am repeating it again adding new material. It cannot be over emphasized, and keep in mind this is a brief account of events. Many serious and important events are omitted.]

The holiest week in the Christian calendar arrived in 2016, bringing new criminal abusers to my life and to my residence. They are fearful of me obtaining an attorney to represent my interests. And they fear me having an association with Columbia University in the City of New York, which awarded me a BA degree in 1970. The landlord rents a vacant apartment for a parade of criminals. They enjoy harassing an elder white man who survived 45 years of criminal abuse by government and crime families. They tell everyone I know, knew and meet, "He's crazy." That is to scare everyone away who may not be filled with hate and hostility toward me. They know that none of the $2 billion taxpayer funded agencies will provide assistance because they say, "There's nothing wrong with you." The current cycle is mainly between Communists from Washington state, who say "He's homeless and mentally ill." and the Kennedy Cult which says "He's a retired drug dealer."

For whatever reason they compete with one another. It should not matter to me. But they both take turns harassing me, punishing me as the scapegoat for whatever misdeeds they feel they have suffered. Instead of attacking each other, they both attack me. It is the same as the pattern during the war from 1960 to 1974. Both the Kennedy cult and the California crime Syndicate took turns attacking me.

The Kennedy cult also narrates "He betrayed us." or something. There is a long history of abuse from that popular economic and political organization beginning in 1968 when they admired my political skills, and adopted me. I was a student at Columbia University in The City of New York when radical left wing students provoked university administrators. They tried to get the administration to exercise its lawful powers to end an occupation by student activists of several classroom and administrative buildings.

Classes were suspended. That angered me because I wanted to go to school to get my degree. Most of the students who got involved were long time political activists of various stripes. I was unknown and generated a lot of animosity because of my rapid success and their history of activism. Liberal and radical students called me, "Hitler." The Kennedy cult adopted me without my knowledge. I did not even know it existed at the time. They were in the midst of a 14 year national war with the California crime Syndicate. I was unaware of that too. Strange people insulted me, and caused me distress. I just took it as ordinary New Yorkers doing what they do.

In 1973 after I got my degree from Columbia, I moved to Boston, MA to attend Boston University School of Law. It did not have a successful outcome. I barely lasted one year. It took a lot of effort on my part to remain after a few months. I wondered what I was doing at the law school. The discussions were exciting, raising ethical and legal questions. I learned how the law worked. It was not until 1983 after a landlord locked me out of my premises that I learned the details of how the law worked and also how the courts did not work. 

The Executive Director of the ACLU of New Jersey explained to me, "You don't need a lawyer. You need a law firm." That was 32 years ago. I experienced many more criminal abuses since that five year effort in municipal, state and US courts, up to and including the Supreme Court of the United States. During those five years, I spent seven days a week until midnight in law libraries doing research and writing briefs. I traveled to the US Court of Appeals, and to the high court in Washington, DC on several occasions. But that was many years after my misguided year at law school.

I was unhappy after that one year. I wondered what mistake, or mistakes I made to find myself driving a taxi and getting stoned. It took me several years to learn what caused my career crash. I had a lot of time on my hands in the spring of 1973. The Watergate scandal was at its highest level in Washington DC. I spent a lot of my free time reading reports and watching TV broadcasts of hearings. I was angry as I could be screaming at the TV asking, "Who does he think he is talking to?" He was the president, who I believed was lying to American voters and taxpayers.

Sometime in the spring Richard Nixon appointed Harvard University law professor Archibald Cox to be a special prosecutor to investigate the Watergate allegations. During my tenure at Columbia as chairman of a student committee from 21 schools of the university, elected to meet with the university trustees, I met many political leaders, academic leaders, student leaders, and community leaders. The faculty committee invited Professor Cox to investigate the causes of the student unrest, which is how I met him. When I came to Boston I saw him on occasion and said hello.

When he was appointed special prosecutor, I was in a unusual state because I knew someone who was at the highest levels of the federal government. When I was student chairman I also met former Supreme Court Justice, and UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg. I spoke with him in his office on Madison Avenue a few blocks from where I used to work as a computer programmer. I also met a former Secretary General of the UN, Andrew Cordier, and US Senator Jacob Javits. It took me a long time to get used to having met those famous people. I did not know it at the time but people believed that if I knew the famous people, I was important. Surprise!

The trustees of the University at the time were a panel of super stars in the world of American business. Bank directors, chairmen of the boards of utilities and the phone company, investors and real estate magnates. I paid a lot of attention to the Watergate scandal knowing I had met some of the movers and shakers in the "corridors of power."

When I read about the Cox appointment I remembered reading that he refused to attend the White House wedding of Nixon daughter, Tricia, to Edward Finch Cox. The article in the Boston Globe said that Archibald was the uncle of Edward, and that A. Cox was a delegate to the Democratic Party national convention in 1968 for US Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine. The article said Professor Cox disliked Nixon because of the dirty tricks by the Nixon campaign which were directed against Muskie.

I was not involved with any political party. I supported candidates if liked them no matter which party they were in. I was just a concerned citizen. I was also angry at Nixon for the allegations of his spying on the Democratic candidate, George McGovern's campaign in 1972. I knew Nixon was accused of being a liar and a thief. But he was not stupid. Why would he appoint Cox as special prosecutor if he disliked him? And if he was a Democratic Party delegate? I called two Columbia graduates whose political opinions I respected. I asked them both if the Coxes were related. They both told me, "You're smoking too many of those funny cigarettes." One said "I know them both. They are not related." But I recalled that Globe article. When I retrieved it on microfilm in the library, the paragraph about Cox had been cleansed. The article no longer mentioned Cox at all. That is when I learned, seeing for myself, that journalists covered up for politicians and the government.

A recent article in an obscure online site posted this story.

Top German Journalist Admits Mainstream Media Is Completely Fake: "We All Lie For The CIA"
Submitted by Tyler Durden

03/28/2016 22:40 -0400

I went on about my life. When a man appeared at my front door asking about a neighbor, he showed me a Department of Defense ID. I told him to go to city hall if he wanted information, and closed my front door. He re-appeared at my back door and I told him again to leave. I did not find that to be unusual. I experienced many unusual events during that period. The unusual events continued for the next 45 years and continue today.

Getting back to the present, the Kennedy cult homosexual who harasses me in March 2016, tries to provoke violence and conducts a behavior conditioning campaign trying to make me into a homosexual. He thinks I betrayed the Kennedy cult, by revealing that Archibald Cox was related to Edward Finch Cox. Alas like several others, e.g., hundreds, he is wrong. But also once again he attacks me and punishes me for something I did not do. But he thinks I did and that is what matters. I think it is Mark Twain who said, "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." That applies to this homosexual who is harassing me in the days leading up to Easter and the days after that holy day.

I did not reveal to the Nixon administration about the relationship of the two Coxes. My telephone was tapped by the FBI in 1973 and probably ever since 1968, when the FBI and the CIA was keeping me under surveillance. I even know the name of the special agent who transcribed the tapes and relayed what he heard to the Nixon White House. I know the name of one CIA agent who watched me at Columbia.

For the past 45 years one of the reasons the Kennedy cult targeted me, but did not kill me was they believed I was a spy and revealed what Watergate was really all about. That is why government psychiatrists drugged me in 1973 for 80 consecutive days using hallucinogens. They asked, "How did he know that?" In politics it is seldom the truth that drives attacks. It is what serves the interests of the organization, the candidate or the party. Propaganda. I was an annoyance. They needed to discredit me, and they did a superb job using psychiatrists, crime families, and Communists. Anyone, who believed the relentless character assassination that began in 1973 and continues in 2016.

In 1968 the Kennedy cult established a profile for me. "He's a black, homosexual Jew from New York." was it. That was because my parents were not educated and I grew up in a poor white dysfunctional family. It was more like the majority of black families. That was to indicate that I was to be treated as if I was black. Over the years sometime between 1979 and 1988 there was a change. The profile became "He's a white Italian homosexual racist Communist from Boston." For a while there was a conflict between those who saw me as black and those who saw me as a white racist. Some people called me "the n*****r." Others called me a racist. It was an interesting period. The objective was to isolate me after 1973, and to scare others away. It is a skill that spies have developed to a high degree.

In 2016, the Kennedy cult joined the California crime Syndicate, and the Communists from Washington State broadcasting "He's homeless, mentally ill, and a high school dropout." As long as no lawyer will volunteer to stop these abuses they will continue and drag me further into the abyss. No longer do I enjoy any political, economic or social support. They have all gone the way of the "black homosexual Jew from New York" profile. Now they call me "racist". They no longer call me "n****r.

Though I do not have evidence, I suspect that someone placed keystroke software on my home computer. Whatever I write gets an almost immediate reaction from the watchers in a nearby unit. After I typed the above rant, I tried to get some of that needed interrupted sleep, even though it is during a reverse sleep pattern. It was about 12:55 PM on Tuesday March 29, 2016, the middle of my sleep period, I heard a noise that woke me up. It was someone pushing against the door to my apartment. At first I thought it was the cleaner using his vacuum banging against my door. But it continued. I placed my hand on the door and felt it was being pushed against the jam as if someone was trying to get into my apartment. I looked through my "peephole." I saw an Asian woman, a man in a ski mask, and a baby. Also some clothing in a shopping cart. They were not known to me as tenants of the building. I asked through the door, "What do you want?" I could not understand the responses. It might have been, "The key does not work." And, "He's in there?" 

I asked again, "What do you want?" They walked toward the front door of the building. I listened. I heard a door close. Then again. It might have been other tenants going and coming. It might have been the three "visitors" picking up packages left by FedEx and UPS. I did not know what to think. I was not about to open the door to a man in a ski mask, just having woken up. I decided to ignore the event. Then I thought I should tell the management office of the building. But they would expect me to call the Harvard University campus police, not my favorite people to call.  Who needs all the mishegoss? They would come to the building and want to interview me. I did not want to do that.

I called to the management office and told the receptionist what happened. She suggested I call the campus police. I demurred. She agreed to send one of the superintendents.  I called the campus police and explained the event to police receptionist. She said she would send an officer. About 1:19 PM the receptionist called me asking me to open the front door for the officer. Hundreds of people have keys to the building front door. UPS, FedEx, painters, contractors. But not the campus police? I went to the front door. A female officer was there in uniform. I let her in. She carried a small notebook. I told her the event details. She told me her name. She did not ask any questions, besides my name and phone number. Would she call me for a date? She did not ask how tall were they. What were they wearing. What they said. She asked me for identification as if I was not supposed to be there. She asked, "Are you Harvard?" I told her I am a twenty year tenant and that I went to Columbia University. 

Another officer, male, arrived. We spoke a bit about relaxed security. After a few moments they left. I called to the management office and sent two emails about the events. It was now about 2:00 PM. My sleep was ended for the day. I had to experience more distress from policemen because of some people who annoyed me. All in all it was not an auspicious beginning for the day. I suspect it was an attempt to provoke an incident, due to my recent criticism of local, state, and US politicians. Can't imagine that they are so fragile. But perhaps they are. In any case there is a long list of suspects. Maybe it was just the homosexual who was harassing me the night and morning of the March 28-29, 2016. Maybe he works for the politicians. More mishegoss. 

Humor, Common Sense and Liberal Politicians

"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government,then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato

Ted Cruz, JD Harvard Law School, Campaigns For President

[From article]
Congratulations to Ted Cruz for winning his fourth primary! Usually Donald Trump wins the primaries — where you go and vote, like in a real election. Cruz wins the caucuses — run by the state parties, favored by political operators and cheaters.
Until now, the only primaries Cruz has won are in Texas (his home state), Oklahoma (basically the same state) and Idaho (where Trump never campaigned).
[. . .]
Cruz has flipped to Trump’s side on every important political issue of this campaign — which only ARE issues because of Trump. These are:
— Quadrupling the number of foreign guest workers to help ranchers and farmers get cheap labor: Cruz was for it, and now is against it.
— Legalizing illegal aliens: Cruz was for it, and now is against it.
— The Trans-Pacific Partnership deal: Cruz was for it, and now is against it.
— Building a wall: Cruz was against it, and now is for it.
These are all positions Cruz has changed since being a senator — most of them he’s flipped on only in the last year. I’m supposed to believe that U.S. senators can sincerely change their minds about policies it was their job to know about, but a New York developer can never change his mind about pop-offs he made more than a decade ago.

[. . .]
These are the kinds of lies that used to drive conservatives crazy when the Clintons did it. Not anymore. All’s fair in smearing Trump.
[. . .]
Trump has said a million times that he’d scrap Obamacare and replace it with a free market system (which, by the way, he explains a lot more clearly than Washington policy wonks with their think-tank lingo). Merely for Trump saying that we’re “not going to let people die, sitting in the middle of a street in any city in this country,” Cruz accuses him of supporting “Bernie Sanders-style medicine.”
[. . .]
Cruz and his cult-like followers lie about Trump wanting a health care system akin to Canada’s and Scotland’s. They lie about his supporting Obamacare. They lie about his supporting partial-birth abortion. They lie about his ever having been a Democrat. They lie about his campaign manager assaulting a female reporter.
[. . .]
But — as with the Clintons — you offer these Cruz-bots an olive branch and they bite off your hand.
[. . .]
If James Carville and Paul Begala had a baby, it would be a Cruz supporter.
[. . .]
Trump is the only presidential candidate in my lifetime who will build a wall, deport illegals and pause the importation of Muslims. He’s the only one who cares more about ordinary Americans than he does about globalist plutocrats.
[. . .]
Mostly, I was under the misimpression that honesty was still a conservative value.

MA US Rep. Shows Lack of Historical Knowledge

Moulton? Journalists agree with me.

US Rep. Moulton (D-MA) indicates he is among the low information elected officials, and practices personal attack politics. Dumbed down voters elect dumbed down officials. Hitler was not elected. "Demagogue" is more appropriately applied to the White House occupant, and Massachusetts elected officials. According to science Moulton is more likely to be a dictator than Donald Trump. See, e.g.,

No, Trump Won’t Be Another Hitler
By Adam Mala
[Sent to Moulton via his online form March 25, 2016 at about 3:27 AM]

[From article]
"People should read the history of how Germany elected Hitler ... and just try to understand the analogies," Moulton said, during a public interview with Boston Globe reporter Josh Miller, a portion of which is posted on YouTube. "I'm not saying Donald Trump is necessarily Hitler ... But you ought to understand how an unbelievably educated, advanced society can elect a demagogue and how bad it can get as a result."

Bernie Sanders Believes Only Black People Are Poor, All Whites Are Wealthy, Powerful

[From article]
Bernie Sanders, the senator representing the socialist paradise of Vermont, has apparently never seen a poor white person. This is understandable, since about 1% of the state's population is black.
But Sanders considers himself an expert on the racial divide in poverty. And at last night's debate with Hillary Clinton, the senator expounded on his theories of race and poverty
[. . .]
“When you’re white you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto, you don’t know what it’s like to be poor,” said Sanders. “You don’t know what it’s like to be hassled when you walk down the street, or dragged out of a car.”
[. . .]
Clinton responded by saying, “being a white person in the United States of America I know that I’ve never had the experience that so many people in this audience have had.” Hillary went on to say, “I have spent a lot of time with the mother’s of African-American children who have lost them — Trayvon Martin’s mother.”
[. . .]
In short, Sanders doesn't know what he's talking about. In his effort to fully pander to black voters, he has made an ignorant statement based not on facts, but rather on urban myths. No doubt there are some blacks who are rousted, but is it racism or sensible policing?
And for Hillary to bring up Trayvon Martin's mother only feeds the false narrative that continues, despite the fact that the man who shot Martin was judged innocent and that the police had nothing to do with the shooting. Even Eric Holder's Justice Department couldn't find grounds to charge Mr. Zimmerman with violating the civil rights of Martin.
But why let the facts stand in the way of a good white-bashing narrative?
Neither Clinton nor Sanders has any shame.

Sanders: Whites don't know what it's like to be poor

Feckless White House Led To Destruction of Syria, Middle East Stability

From article]
It is hard to remember that that the Syrian War began during those hopeful, halcyon days of the dawning of the “Arab Spring” in March, 2011, when some young, idealist Syrians wanted to overthrow the brutal stranglehold of Bashir Assad. Mr. Assad’s security forces plowed down these teenagers painting murals with revolutionary slogans on a school wall, and hundreds of thousands took to the streets in support of them, but Assad’s forces mowed them down as well. In an attempt to expel Assad’s security forces, and to defend themselves, opposition forces were forced to take up arms.
The conflict quickly escalated into a sectarian, ethnic, and religious one. The government has long been controlled by the Alawite minority which is closely related to Shia Islam, and has therefore long been aligned with Iran, which has sent the IRGC and Hizb’allah into Iran. And Russia, hungry to reassert itself on the global stage, quickly became allied with this constellation.
While waiting, to no avail, for the U.S. cavalry to arrive, some of the legitimate Sunni opposition became hardened and disillusioned with the United States. We now have brutal jihadists in the form of ISIS taking advantage of the chaos and taking over huge segments of Syria. Some of the original Sunni opposition battled ISIS, and some have either willingly or through the threat of death, joined ISIS, which has claimed to have established a “caliphate” in Syria.
We now have a completely chaotic situation of several “wars within a war” with a new spinoff group of Al Qaeda, the Al Nusra Front, Kurdish Forces, and a whole array of other spinoff groups forming and quickly jumping into the fray.
The chaos has been further complicated this past Saturday when Turkey began shelling Aleppo. Of course, Erdogan is hiding behind the pretense that Turkey is fighting terrorists, which for Erdogan means the Kurds, who are perhaps some of our staunchest and most valiant allies in the region.
The Obama administration made a similar error in November when it trusted Putin to coordinate with it in the fight against ISIS,
[. . .]
It has been agonizing to watch this spiraling descent into hell in which many good, innocent people, as well as some very venal actors, have been caught up. The New York Times on Saturday cited a report from the Syrian Center for Policy Research saying there is an estimated 470,000 fatalities. The war has created a staggering refugee crisis, with at least 5 million refugees pouring into Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, France, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, and Hungary, totally changing the demographics of these nations.
President Bashir Assad, together with his Hizb’allah forces have completely surrounded the town of Madaya, outside of Damascus, cutting them off from all known food sources.
[. . .]
It is almost impossible not to feel rage, when one remembers President Obama’s sacrosanct “red line” of August 20, 2012, when he stated that “there would be enormous consequences if we started seeing movement on the chemical weapons front”. And exactly one year and one day later, on August 21, 2013, Bashir Assad launched a chemical attack on Ghouta.
[. . .]
President Assad tested President Obama’s mettle, and he failed miserably. This colossal failure signaled in neon lights to the international community this president’s complete lack of resolve.
As part of this colossal failure, President Obama made an arrangement for Russia’s President Putin to have the chemical weapons transferred out of Syria. Putin of course jumped at this willingness for international prestige and legitimacy, while he was planning the takeover of the Ukraine.
[. . .]
My favorite moment in recent history was the Cedars Revolution in Lebanon, during the spring of 2005. That is when Lebanese Christians were not afraid to take to the streets, and forced 14,000 Syrian soldiers and intelligence agents to withdraw from Lebanon.
That is because someone then sat in the Oval Office who demonstrated concern for the rights of religious minorities, and was not afraid to use force to back up that concern.
And because of Obama’s retreat from the world stage, we now have almost half a million dead Syrians, and the worst humanitarian and refugee crisis since World War II.

The Syrian Descent into Hell
By Sarah N. Stern

Voters Like Uncivil Campaigns Of Trump and Sanders

[From article]
A socialist who only became a member of the Democratic Party a year ago just slaughtered the party’s queen-in-waiting. A reality-show billionaire who has never before run for office just humbled two senators and three former and present governors in a runaway Republican victory.
The New Hampshire presidential primary has launched America into uncharted political territory. We’re flying blind here, people. Trust no analysis. Believe no prognosticator. Nobody knows anything.
[. . .]
The most important takeaway, though, is this: The politics of resentment won Tuesday night. It hasn’t had a showing like this in the United States maybe since the 1890s.
Donald Trump and Sanders have a remarkably similar and remarkably simple message, and it’s this: You’re being screwed. They agree that international trade is screwing you, that health care companies are screwing you and that Wall Street is screwing you.
[. . .]
Sanders says he’s going to throw bankers in jail, raise everybody’s taxes — and provide universal health care.
Trump says he’ll deport every illegal immigrant, keep Muslims out of the country until “we can find out what the hell is going on,” force Mexico to build a wall, levy a 45 percent tariff on China — and provide universal health care.
[. . .]

New York City Mayor Not Paying Attention To His Job

[From article]
New Yorkers have an outsized expectation that a mayor can be everywhere and have an answer for almost everything all the time. It’s an unreasonable demand, and it explains why being mayor of Gotham is considered the second toughest job in America.
But successful mayors manage that expectation through hard work, active engagement with ordinary citizens and a fierce sense of patriotism about the city. It is the essence of leadership and even when they inevitably fail on occasion, they are not blamed for lack of effort or attention.
That’s a mayor’s contract with New York, and it’s where de Blasio is coming up short. He is chasing rainbows and tilting at windmills instead of minding the store.
New Yorkers see a deterioration in public spaces, an explosion of disheveled vagrants and have a growing belief that the mayor isn’t as committed to fixing those things as he should be.
[. . .]
In a foolish bid to make himself a national player, de Blasio spent nearly four days in Iowa during the presidential primary. The trip was a bust, and he returned to discover that the unholy alliance he forged to reduce the popular horse carriages was collapsing.
This was no routine policy failure. Beyond giving him a political black eye, the acrimonious collapse exposed both his arrogance and incompetence. Most troubling, the misbegotten venture galvanized suspicions that his is a pay-to-play administration.
In a naked bid to deliver a promise to donors who funded his 2013 campaign, the mayor tried to buy off the Teamsters union that represents the carriage drivers and skeptical members of the City Council. Knowing he had a weak hand and that disclosure of the details would doom the deal, he tried to speed it through the council.
[. . .]
It’s an odd hill to die on. The public offers wide support for the carriages, and rejects the mayor’s vaporous claims that the animals are treated cruelly.
Yet de Blasio threw facts to the wind, insisting he would fix a problem most people don’t believe exists. As such, the episode is a perfect metaphor for his tenure.
Time and again, he concocts sweeping visions of unfairness and wrongdoing that are wildly exaggerated or beyond the job he was hired to do. He sees a racist police force, greedy charter schools, unfair Uber drivers and now cruel carriage drivers. On all those, the mayor is living in a world disconnected from most New Yorkers’.
[. . .]
Something is rotten and I believe the episode warrants a criminal investigation.
[. . .]
A prosecutor needs to find the facts and reveal the truth.

Criticism of Support for Trump

[From article]
Instead, serious public discussion, which is the heart of the representative element of representative republicanism, has been hijacked by idol-worshippers for whom there is nothing Trump could do or say that would cause them one second of self-doubt. Trump himself highlighted this when he declared that he wouldn't lose any supporters if he shot someone on 5th Avenue. Bizarrely, that may be the best synopsis of the situation. Trump's followers have transcended rational discourse altogether, and are prepared to defend anything, attack anyone, contradict their own principles with regularity, rather than address the arguments of sincere critics. In short, like true believers of any stripe, they seem to approach all questions about their hero with pure, unmitigated anger, which is the enemy of sober judgment.
[. . .]
How many marriages and friendships have been ruptured by indignant responses to sincere constructive criticism?
Unbridled anger in politics threatens both those succumbing to it and those victimized by it. Specifically, it subdues reason by paralyzing the power of judgment and intimidating dissenting voices. Indignation in defense of an unreasoned belief is a mechanism of fanaticism. It characterizes the psyche of people willing to cut off the heads of those who disagree with their creed, to issue fatwas against people who draw pictures of religious idols.
But direct violence is only its most obvious manifestation. The indignation of fanaticism also explains the willingness of Germans to believe that the Jews were the cause of Germany's economic troubles, or of Democrats to believe that anyone who disapproves of Barack Obama's presidency is racist.
We are seeing this form of fanaticism -- untamed anger in defense of idol worship -- among Trump's supporters,
[. . .]



Trump's followers say the progressive threat is too critical to waste time quibbling about conservative "purity." But what epitomizes that progressive threat better than the drive for universal government-funded healthcare, an institution that socializes the economy and the popular mind more thoroughly and effectively than almost any other Marxist plank? [. . .] One wonders whether these angry Trump supporters remember why they were so angry in the first place.
[. . .]
Shouldn't conscientious voters be leery of a sixty-nine year old man who supported leftist causes and leaders well into his sixties? Don't we normally assume that a man's political character and basic beliefs should be well established by that age? Why trust a candidate with such a dubious recent history?
"But Reagan was a Democrat," Trump's fans object. Reagan began supporting Republican presidents and speaking on behalf of conservative causes while in his early forties, and did so consistently for more than a decade before becoming a Republican governor at fifty-six. When he was elected President at Trump's age, sixty-nine, he had already been a leading conservative voice for a quarter century. Trump donated $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel five years ago, [. . .]
Given the unapologetic cynicism with which Trump explains his contributions as an unscrupulous business strategy, shouldn't his followers be just a tad concerned that this is his modus operandi, and that with all his recent tough talk on immigration (contradicting his own statements of three years ago) he may be playing a similar game with them, saying what he needs to say to get the GOP nomination, only to abandon them when working on an audience with different priorities? (See here, for example.)
To the criticism that he has a history of playing footsie with the Washington establishment, [. . .] those fans contend that "Donald can't be bought." Can't he? He describes himself as the kind of businessman who sells his name and reputation -- not to mention his country -- to leftist thugs for the sake of a little friendly consideration in his real estate deals (e.g., Chicago, 2002-2010: $7000 to Rod Blagojevich, $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel, $12,500 to the Cook County Democratic Party), and his followers say he can't be bought?
[. . .]
GOP insiders always undermine principled candidates with the argument that only a nominee from the pragmatic "center" who is prepared to "deal" with the progressives can win in the general election. For decades, conservatives have rejected this argument because it requires abandoning freedom on the false premise that in a progressive era, only a candidate who looks like a compromiser can succeed. Trump fans have now effectively reduced themselves to this milquetoast argument.
Doubling down on this weak position, they say, "This year stopping Hillary is the defining goal." Does anyone recall the last presidential candidate who stopped Hillary? If defeating Hillary (who, according to Trump in 2008, "would make a great president") becomes the defining goal, failure is almost assured, as the GOP typically fails when campaigning on a negative, unprincipled platform.
[. . .]
For years, constitutionalists have dreaded the prospect of being forced to vote for Republicans who play the big government game of cronyism and mutual back-scratching. Trump epitomizes that game, has long been a participant in its protocols,
[. . .]
Can America afford another four to eight years of rule by cynical bullies, unprincipled power-players manipulating an angry mob, [. . .]? Haven't seven years of such tyrannical tirades and rule by personal intimidation been enough?
[. . .]
In other words, if you don't support Donald Trump, "Everybody hates you! You're nasty, ugly, and pathological!"
[. . .]
But if Trump and his cultists continue to paralyze rational political discourse with mob tactics and ad hominem vitriol, a republic founded on principles of reason and moderation may finally burn itself to the ground in a fit of fanatical anger. Could the progressive radicals have planned this any better?

When Anger Trumps All
By Daren Jonescu

Christmas Spirit Alive In Cambridge, MA

If only politicians would resign from the Spending Other People's Money Society, stop wasting taxpayer funds and provide homes for these people. It is not a new problem. Instead they focus on supporting unscreened migrants from nations dedicated to destroying the United States and killing Americans.  

[From article]
More than 2,300 volunteers filled City Hall, the Senior Center, the YWCA and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Everything donated, sorted and made – food, clothing, blankets, scarves, valentines, books, emergency and toiletry kits – is being distributed to people in need through more than 75 local non-profit organizations and service agencies and reaching nearly 10,000 people.
Thanks also to the city of Cambridge, the YWCA and St. Peter’s Church for providing us with critical support.
[. . .]
We would like to give a special shout-out to the Cambridge Youth Council who distributed empty grocery bags in Huron Village and Haggerty neighborhoods two weeks ago and then on MLK Day picked up more than 350 bags brimming with much-needed food to be distributed to 15 Cambridge food pantries.
