Recently Fox News had a report about Biden Economics featuring steak and butter, along with the high cost of mortgages. It sounded like a report of a nation where there is runaway inflation and Turkey came to mind. The inflation rate of the items mentioned was 72 percent. I also learned during these last weeks that car insurance increases make up one-half of one percent of our current inflation rate. Home owners insurance is impacting, but  a call to my insurance agent was needed for the rise of my own personal car insurance and I was told that there were heavy losses by insurance companies and he had checked out the prices on other well known lower cost insurance companies and the experience was the same.

Let’s get to steak and butter. I went back to the beginning or genesis which was 2001 when Biden took office. I have no special site to search that is committed to backing Biden instead of Fox. This is what I learned.

By December 11, 2021 butter was up 40 percent.

Declining cow herds,

labor shortages and

higher packaging material costs

ongoing labor and freight shortages will continue to limit the butter supply in 2022

There were other record-setting increases for commodities such as wheat and coffee experiencing

 over the past year amid high demand

poor weather and supply chain disruptions which manufacturers have largely chosen to pass down to the consumer

Now we can get to steak where I read an article about food critic Andrew Zimmern and a well-known hamburger restaurant. There was an price increase of 25 percent early on.

Organizations like the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) put out the word that Americans may see record high beef prices this year due to the lowest cattle inventory in over 70 years.

In 2017 there were 95 million cattle

In January 2024 there were just 87.2 million cattle and calves

The reasons

farmers selling off cattle due to severe drought conditions — requiring farmers to hold less inventory to make sure the rest can be fed

and the rising cost of supplies to feed and support such cattle herds

Zimmern points to examples of the severe weather impact

with the wildfires raging across the Texas panhandle

An estimated 7,000 cattle have died thus far

putting the squeeze on local ranchers and a larger squeeze for the industry

And there was mention of rising labor costs due to the rise of the minimum wage (as high as $20 and which has been going on for years. Those same wages were going up under Trumponomics and Trump took credit for higher wages during his term.

It is just being reported that Tyson Foods hopes to hire 52,000 migrants because of labor shortages and migrant labor could easily mean “cheap labor.” I just got that from Fox News. This has been the standard for our nation when conservative economist Milton Friedman told businessmen that there is nothing wrong with “illegal” immigration as long as you do not have to pay out things like social security and other beneficial things to the immigrants. And Fox News will act as though it’s the left, the communists and socialists, liberals that are responsible for all the migrants who have crossed our border over the decades. From what I observed over 20 years ago, labor did not particularly like cheap labor in our nation, but eventually supported this humanitarian effort out of brotherhood. I support the migrants because I have proof that the law that made it “illegal” to cross the border was antisemitic. It’s “Founding Father” referred to the recent wave of Jewish immigrants as “filthy, un-American, and often dangerous in their habits.” And Jews paid for that law before and during The Holocaust with their lives.

I want the Jewish people to know that to me going to Fox News is just slightly better than going to La Libre Parole which was extremely antisemitic in France in the 1890s. Even in researching Fox News about the Enid, Oklahoma current controversy of white supremacy and the election of one of Enid’s own to the city commissioner’s office, I found Fox News spending far too much of its space giving the individual in question a rebuttal based on his “conservative” values and his faith in the electorate of Enid. The Nazis were doing the same thing in the 1920s and 1930s.

I just learned that there were Polish people under German influence that wore Hitler-like mustaches in admiration of Hitler. They shaved off those mustaches as Allied forces entered their lands for fear of retaliation.

I, also, learned yesterday that business rents on rising on Long Island right now even though we hear of losses (just like in New York City) of population to other states. There are large vacancies of stores everywhere.  Again, this seems to be a failure of the “free market” economy. Rents are supposed to come down, but there could also be local market conditions that jack up the cost of renting.

And if things were not bad enough, it has been reported right now that a Catholic priest who recently took over the parish in New York has increased the rent for AA or Alcoholics Anonymous from $80 a month to $800. And there were other increases and notices of termination since St. Augustine in Park Slope doesn’t have the funds needed to provide long standing Catholic charitable services. The subtitle of the article I read was about ending Creole and Spanish services and programs for the needy.

And there lawsuits, mostly resulting from scandals against the church, was cited as a reason and that is not Bidenomics.

Millions of Jews (some trans, most not, Blacks too, and lots of Christians) lost their lives because of the same border legislation that makes it “illegal” to cross the border.

The USA’s Most Antisemitic Legislation

Congressman Albert Johnson and Senator David Reed, both Republicans, gave US a series of immigration acts designed to the referring to the recent immigrants (before 1924) as a “bulwark against a stream of alien blook” and referred to the recent wave of Jewish immigrants as “filthy, un-American, and often dangerous in their habits.”

Published February 20, 2024

You can see the hate back then and my opinion is that the legislation should be repealed because of hate. We would still need intense border security, which I have cared about for 20 years. Justice is badly needed and that is both American and Christian (America at its best).

The United States had a major fascist problem in 1939 and it does have one in 2024. Experts know that Donald Trump is an enabler of antisemitism and that means that he doesn’t have to be antisemitic himself. He is a Republican and 80 percent of Enid apparently favor Donald Trump. One of the major things that rocketed Trump toward being an enabler was Charlotteville and lots of people in Enid have now seen one of their own who has been elected to office who showed his “white supremacist” position in that Virginia town. The whole world seems to know about it. I am in New York (Long Island) and a former federal prosecutor that I spoke with who is in Florida knew about it. It’s major news about what this Judeo-Christian Nation is all about. Things that Fox News may not tell you.

Trump was thinking about a one-state solution for Israel and Palestine and a two-state solution and got nothing like that accomplished.  He went off into a trade agreement called “peace.” That is his legacy, the Republican legacy.

In 1929 Arabs in Hebron in Palestine massacred 67 Orthodox Jews. And that, I have written before, was around the time that White people massacred Black people in Tulsa, and I read about the “brothers in Christ” moment of “Judd” Blevins, thinking of a song from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma which I grew up on in the late 1940s (Poor Judd is Dead) and Derwood Norwood that I read about. Republican campaigns emphasize moving forward and not looking back. I look back and I can tell you that Republican leaders in New York were members of the Ku Klux Klan and Republicans were cooperating with racists in the 1930 before Pearl Harbor with the objective of getting Jews, Negroes, and Catholics.

As an educator, I have personally helped to straighten out messes made by two Republican governors. In 2002, it was Governor Jeb Bush of Florida and the legislature that messed up from 1999-2001. In 2007, it had been Governor George Pataki who had messed up and the New York State Education Department called me to get $2,1 million dollars in the budget. I did those things. I could have done more if asked by other states, for example.

Conservatives and Republicans will not share with you in Enid that Donald Trump is an antisemitic “enabler” and nor will Jewish Republicans. This is all about the truth and not about who will win this or that election. I read about how people wish to push the blame on Black Lives Matter and the pro-Palestinian protests. Everything matters and not just what people in Enid will tell you.

Strange name for a university?

The title of an article that I saw, got my attention because it used this word “uni.” You can read words like biblio and resto   also in French. So what do you think “science po” is?

This is an elite school in France (think Harvard, M.I.T., U. Penn in the USA) where antisemitism exists. I was just told that is lots of antisemitism at U. Florida. President Macron of France attended Science Po and it has a pretty hefty tuition charge for France that I noticed. Equally famous Americans have gone to Harvard and other elite schools.

Now we can get to the antisemitism that I read about and what I had wished to know about for some time.  The article featured pro-Palestinians and their actions on campus. There was a mention of a “Zionist” in the article.

And I wonder is people like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and others from Fox News on the air in France. I wonder and imagine that it could be.

Meanwhile, more controversy struck the Sciences Po campus after around 100 students occupying the main lecture hall as part of a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Tuesday were accused of barring entry to a Jewish student and insulting her.

The student, a member of the Union of Jewish Students in France (UEJF) that claims a national membership of 15,000, was prevented from entering a building because of shouts and actions.  “Don’t let her in, she’s a Zionist”, the union said on X.

President Macron told his cabinet that the remarks were “unspeakable and perfectly intolerable”.

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Higher Education Minister Sylvie Retailleau took action telling the Sciences Po Foundation’s board to “underline the seriousness” of what happened and to remain a “place of teaching” and “healthy debates.”

The management was taking legal action over anti-Semitic acts in this “embedding of an unacceptable poisonous climate”.

But students took this position.

“It’s really sad that unverified information is taken directly to the French president,” one students revealed and “We don’t tolerate any form of anti-Semitism.”

And I wonder is people like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and others from Fox News on the air in France. I wonder and imagine that it could be.

And here is something important that was mentioned about the Jewish student had been denied access to the lecture hall.  A student said that this “Zionist” had previously intimidated pro-Palestinian students” at the protest.

And this was the only Jewish student who was barred from entering.

Anti-Semitic acts in France have also increased, according to the Council of Jewish Institutions in France.

Now we can analyze this information from afar. Did President Macron have his facts straight. Even President Biden has spoken lately and had to correct himself about his own policies on key issues. Is the student right that his information was “unverified?”

Then we can see from the context that a Jew was called a “Zionist.” Other Jews appear to be fine as long as they are not “Zionist.” This exists on campuses and in the streets in America. How many protests have taken place already and the year is far from over?

And I wonder is people like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and others from Fox News on the air in France. I wonder and imagine that it could be. I think I have made my point.

We see a need for tit for tat or “an eye for an eye” oh well not exactly. What kind of “intimidation” was used by the “Zionist?” We do not know anything about it. Shouldn’t that be told?

Also notice in France there have been top level interventions and in the United States the House Ed & Workforce Committee has been waiting for universities to provide information and nothing has been done by government. Even a member union of the UAW has been subpoenaed which makes US think of the McCarthy Era and the tragically evil and unconstitutional work of people in Congress at that time. My mother’s cousin, Joshua Shelly, an actor, was severely affected by that. Never Again does apply to lots of things. The vast majority of those affected were Jews. And fascism in America was on the march decades before that. It should be a wake-up call for Jews on campus and around our nation, that Congresswomen Foxx, Stefanik, and others have done nothing to help the universities and students on campus. Fascism is on the march in America right now and those people are in denial. Yes, I accuse them! That is a French moment for me. Uni, biblioi, resto, fasciste.

An important question is what will happen, if anything, to the student who did the so-called intimidation and to the student or students who blocked that “Zionist?” I know about an American president who gave a “slap on the wrist” to the head of a corporation that was providing Hitler with agents in Europe who spied on world shipping for The Third Reich.

And I ask again, do those students in Paris know that Arabs in Palestine massacred 67 Orthodox Jews in Hebron in 1929 and that was four years before the rise of Adolph Hitler to power?

And I just read about Sarah Lawrence College and found out that the Department of Education has updated its complaint form, making it easier for students to report religious discrimination under Title VI. That seems to be helpful. And it raises the question about what has been done since 2017 to make things better. This is not just about Biden’s term in office.

So what do you think “science po” is?

The United States press needs to do more and be better. In the last week, I have contacted The New York Times, The New York Post, and The New York Daily News (all newspapers) and WPIX (television).  There have been no replies, of course. Important news is being held back from the public. Important news was being held back from the public in Europe at the time of Adolph Hitler and things changed. Who played a role changing that? It was Edward R. Murrow. Then the pendulum swung back.

Citizens of London by Lynn Olsen tells US about Edward R. Murrow and his thoughts back then.

Murrow was “disheartened” by the lack of freedom and justice in the world.

He saw the “souring” of peace and the rise of international tensions.

He was “distressed” by the rise of McCarthyism.

And for readers to know about those newspapers and many others and that television station and many others.

Murrow was deeply concerned about “the decline of broadcast journalistic standards.” Or what I sometimes call today mediocrity. And Murrow criticized his chief at CBS, Bill Paley, for going after “profits and ratings.”

Here is a quote from Citizens of London, ”The news division, which had made CBS the number one network in the country during the war (World War II) was pushed into the background.”

Entertainment became the main focus.

And this is based on facts and based on truth. And just like recent documentaries (Ken Burns, for example) that portrayed the United States almost totally against the Jews in the days of Adolph Hitler, everyone has to do better. This article was just sent to Congressman Henry Cuellar, and I sent another article to Senator Chris Van Holland about The Swastika Nation. My concerns there were about possible antisemitism in relation to arming Israel at this moment.

The Zone of Interest has won awards, and its writer director made a statement about the current conflict in Gaza. There are clearly extremist views and lots of other viewpoints that people ought to know about. Some knowledgeable historians (but only a few) have pointed out that The Holocaust should either not be brought up or rarely brought up. Criticism of Israel under those terms is acceptable, but do people wish to hear it (Jews and non-Jews alike).

And here is part of my article written months before the repugnant House Ed and Workforce hearings that demonized Ivy League presidents and now wishes to demonize a member of UAW section 9 A.

Inna Vernikov Stop It Now

Posted October 16, 2023

Most Jews wish to see Hamas destroyed and quickly. What Hamas did was evil, and it takes my mind back to the Massacre of Hebron in 1929. And I know that there were good Palestinians who protected Jews then who fled to save their lives. And that was before Hitler and The Holocaust, Arabs who protected and saved Jews are enshrined in the Yad Vashem in Israel as “Righteous of Nations.” And it is hoped that all Israelis and Jews remember all this.

Czar Nicholas II of Russia said that 99 percent of troublemakers were Jews. Know your Russian-Soviet history. And now Czar Ron DeSantis says that 100 percent of Palestinians are antisemitic and just at a time when we count on fairness among Palestinians and their supporters.

I know that Inna Vernikov has been trained recently in self-defense and she has promoted it in her community since then. I know she is a strong Republican, but her challenge of the new state law about bringing guns to a protest and overturning the law could lead to all Palestinians and their supporters to arm themselves, bringing guns to protests, and incentivize violence in Brooklyn. Be careful what you wish for. The Russian Czar was repugnant and the Florida Czar is too.

This is the kind of factual material that was brought forth at the Academy Awards.

I have contacted the journalist at the Hollywood Reporter about his article related to the pro-Palestinian protests at the Academy Award. The real problem, and I have noted it for years, is this. This is the tip of the iceberg (Titanic) and it affects politics and society. It affects major organizations across our nation that we count on to fight hate to the best of their ability. The best is yet to come.

I couldn’t remember the name of a book that I discovered two years ago, but another search in my email turned up that book that I was sharing with a friend in Florda (full of Nazi demonstrations under DeSantis which have gone unchecked).

That took place under Joe Biden, but Biden had nothing to do with it. Donald Trump had a lot to do with the Nazification of American politics.

Let’s get back to that book which featured Meyer Lansky, Mickey Cohen, and others in the Mafia. Days ago, I wrote to Bishop Seitz office in El Paso, Texas that Cardinal Pacelli (Pope Pius XII), Cardinal Spellman of New York, FDR, and Fiorello LaGuardia played a role in ending the radio broadcasts of Father Coughlin who was both an antisemite and racist. The Mafia had other forms of persuasion including throwing Nazis through windows.

And next Courtney Crowder discussed Swastika Nation with author Arne Bernstein. It’s February 20, 1939 with 20,000 Nazis in Madison Square Garden with 100,000 people outside ready “to kill” those Nazis, according to Bernstein.

A woman in Brooklyn who read the book and spoke with Bernstein that they were “frightened” of those Nazis marching in the streets. Frirz Kuhn, the head of that movement is called the leader on the show, but not the Fuehrer. I am not going to talk about all the things mentioned about Kuhn and Henry Ford, but get this. At about minute 12 Arne Bernstein says that these Nazis made a lot of noise, but they were scary. That should have been the Nazis were scary and made a lot of noise. Bernstein diminished what was happening. The question was asked why was the USA so nurturing and Bernstein pointed out The First Amendment or Freedom of Speech.  Courtney Crowder called Kuhn “a clown.” That’s how DeSantis and Trump refer to their supporters who are Neo-Nazis. This interview which lasted about 16 minutes was disappointing, even though it had rich material such as Jack Ruby being there (remember that he killed Lee Harvey Oswald and that Kuhn and others had been employed by Henry Ford who was a big fan of Hitler. Were they all just a pack of clowns?

Things were bad enough in 2014 when the book was written, but worse things were to follow about Swastika Nation. Nazi Germany had anti-abortion law, Jews were diminished greatly under Hitler, trans people lost their rights and even the right to surgery, Negroes were discriminated against, Islamophobia ( no Hitler admired Islam and they were allowed to be Aryan), Roma people, Seventh Day Adventists, college teachers, the press, unions, and much more had their fair share of persecution. Buoys and barbed wire at the border, legislation calling for arrests of migrants, killing of migrants trespassing on private property, opposition to IVF in Alabama, and various governors sending the National Guard to support Nazi-lite and so much of this started by and approved by a man who seems to love Coca Cola-lite or diet instead of regular Coke.

Actually, it started in places like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Long Island New York, and more before the Election of 2016. Hate found the right man.

And the beat goes on into support for Israel. I found a November article about Mark Levin and Fox News in which both were denounced by The White House.  Levin, a Jew, denounced Wolf Blitzer who called for a ceasefire in the war between Hamas and Israel. Levin said that Blitzer wants Israel to die, and he called Blitzer “a self-hating Jew.” Oh, one more thing that was reported is that Levin said that Blitzer’s family members weren’t victims (even though they lost their lives In The Holocaust).

Levin should be forced fed Antisemitism Here and Now by Professor Deborah Lipstadt. Fox News people too. Criticism of the policies and actions of Israel is not antisemitism. A total boycott of Israel which is designed to destroy Israel is another case. And I say those people who would cut off military aid to Israel (Republicans included) is another case that could lead to the destruction of Israel. Israel has to have the right and means to defend itself.

And Jesse Watters of Fox News has gone even further toward provocation than Levin as Watters sees the tearing down of hostage photos of Israelis resulting in violence against the perpetrators. Two wrongs do not make one right. And Watters says he’s ‘done’ with Arab Americans and Muslims. This is the same kind or trouble that Kanye West and others have gotten into over their feelings for Jews. Have you seen my last article and Fox and Foxx and the coming antisemitism on college campuses?

Levin also made Trump-like comments of Blitzer such as Blitzer is deaf (not old like Biden yet) and that Blitzer has a low IQ (not like Levin’s “stable genius” the Donald). The problem is that Levin lacks knowledge and he should learn that with everything that he stands for, he could have been an ally of Hitler in Germany as there were Jews around Hitler.

The White House properly denounced Fox News and Joe Biden corrected his statement on migrants being “illegal.” I have called the legislation of 1924 the most antisemitic legislation in US history. According to my viewpoint, anyone who cannot accept that is in denial as Holocaust denials and other denials have taken place. And I have wondered for years about the children and grandchildren of all races and ethnic groups that did not support the Jews in the 1930s, 1940s, etc. What would happen right now if 3 million Jews had to flee Europe and Israel?

I can also tell you that Fox News recent portrayal of Bidenomics is ridiculous. I did the research of 2021 and found out all the factors that have contributed to inflation (butter and steak as shown on Fox News). That information will be coming. That is your Swastika Nation. From what have read from two sources so far, Fox News must confess to spreading misinformation at the very least. Perhaps another lie has been perpetrated. Anyway, the United States is paying for it and has a right to know why.

I noticed yesterday that the University of Florida student Jewish students’ organization is opposed to cutting DEI and for some time now I have seen DEI programs on the Hillel site and even at Yeshiva University. I have watched Jewish leaders on Fox (Foxx) News mention the broad fight against hate on campus and not just Jewish interests of fighting antisemitism. But with Foxx, the congresswoman, and Stefanik, and their work on the House Ed and Workforce Committee, the work has always and only been fighting against antisemitism (only).

America First to them has become Jews First or Jews have been taken in by the Republican Party and it’s a signal that Jews do not belong anywhere else. Even just now I read that the Democratic Party is the party of Hamas (Fox News presentation). And there have been a long line of Jewish students on campus who have gone to Fox News for sanctuary and they have been taken in by the staff of Fox News.

La Libre Parole or Free Speech rings in my mind and it has been 130 years in the minds of people but especially Jews. And Jews were divided at that time as well as French society. I know that Fox News does broadcast pure news, but I ask myself if that antisemitic newspaper La Libre Parole also spread pure news throughout France which heightened the antisemitism of its day. For me, Fox (Foxx) News is just another version of La Libre Parole, the newspaper of Édouard Drumont.

It’s bad enough that protection of Muslim students appears to get no news time from Fox News. And we can draw a list because I have learned that African American students in Pennsylvania also need protections. Fox News has turned a slight corner since those days of Tucker Carlson and staff promoting the worst things imaginable. Denying the victory of Joe Biden could have been taken from the millennia of history of hate against the Jews, including Holocaust denial. Purveyors of hate have been reformed somewhat but the record speaks for itself, and I still think about its warning against Roma people who were killed alongside Jews in the Holocaust with Black people and transgender people.

And Jewish people continue to go to Fox News for sanctuary. There is no sanctuary for migrants at Fox News. Jews and now others have suffered because of the immigration laws of the 1920s that kept Jews out (death became our sanctuary) and now others are kept out. Please see my article about Netanyahu and Jabotinsky to learn more.  Netanyahu had to know that the most antisemitic legislation in the United States was passed by Republicans who wanted to keep Jews out of our nation. And they did. This has to be mentioned in all Jewish studies programs everywhere as a lesson to all.

Let me cite what people can read and learn from. After World War II, the term JAP was made popular and used by Joan Rivers, David Steinberg, Woody Allen, and Mel Brooks. I remember it well. A joke that was told among Jews, Professor Lipstadt tells us became a “license to others to do likewise.” And even though this is not the case with the students who felt a powerful need to be on Fox News, my fear is that the sum total of what is going on will result in another reason to blame Jews on campus as DEI removal affects states across our nation.  She points out that the Jewish American Princess joke “belittled Jews and women.”

That was the past and what will be in the future if all Jews are not better prepared to fight antisemitism? What will happen on campuses? There will be more written later.

And this morning there was an article about a professor at u. Berkeley who moved into his office to provide sanctuary for Jews who seek help at all hours of the day and night. Sounds great, but is it? It’s a new civil rights move. But I wrote because I know that students have seek a haven against Islamophobia on campus have also made requests for help with the Department of Education. Will those students be able to seek sanctuary in the professor’s office. And is that office really his home 24/7 even though he pays no rent.

Professor Lipstadt writes about Blacks only day in her book and there were serious objections sometimes to what took place. She also writes about the support in Europe for the Palestinian cause, knowing that antisemitism affected (and affects) part of the Muslim population. Integration is not easy.

Keep in mind that Donald Trump spoke about looking at a one state and a two-state solution to the problem and did not win. He lost! A win for Trump might have prevented the Hamas Massacre that took place on October 7, 2023.

I was thinking about how a significant part of Jewish history involved giving the right to make loans and to charge interest to Jews. Non-Jews were forbidden to charge interest and this history set up lots of antisemitism in Europe. And Florida has removed support for DEI.

I found out how students at U. Penn who were supportive of the resignation of its president (Magill) for not denouncing genocide were soon concerned and upset about moves to eliminate DEI at Pennsylvania schools. Students on campus as well as the general public lack the knowledge needed to draw conclusions about many things and that is why the doxing of all students was wrong, but it went on. And Jewish students who went on to Fox (Foxx) News could be called enablers of antisemitism (unintentional) or at least “clueless” in causing antisemitism, I guess. Jews, we know, also sometimes participate in saying things that made by non-Jews, would be antisemitic. I avoid Fox News and I found out that Congressman Adam Schiff, too, detests what Fox News has done.  Combine what you have read here with my words about Jared Kushner that you will read later.

Fox News just made a big deal over the fact that Schiff took out an ad with Fox during his campaign for the Senate. An intelligent person should realize that Schiff knew that he had to reach voters that depend on Fox News. I know that Jews were negotiating with Hitler to save Jewish lives.  I know that David Ben Gurion attended a meeting or meetings with the infamous Grand Mufti of Jerusalem appointed by the British.  I know that Yasser Arafat attended the shivah of Yitzhak Rabin (secretly). I know more than that and I feel that behind this façade of helping Jews that Foxx, Stefanik, and others will be cutting out DEI funding and those Jews that appeared with Foxx and on Fox will be blamed or in other words antisemitism will increase on campus. And the House just passed an anti-migrant bill because of the murder of a student on campus in Athens, Georgia. And there are other murders taking place that have not occurred in places that have given sanctuary to migrants. I wish my Jewish family in the 1940s could have saved their lives by becoming migrants and that are entire nation would have been a sanctuary. And that information (all of it) belongs on campus right now. A bridge is needed between all groups on campus so students, their friends and families will be better informed.

Had Foxx and Fox just decided to help Jewish students without the call to end DEI programs this article might not have been written. But I could not stand all the racism emanating from Fox News over the last decade. Keep in mind that Donald Trump is an enabler of antisemitism and that is based on well-defined research. Professor Lipstadt wrote in her book that Trump “was, and still seems to be, unwilling to castigate, much less mildly criticize, actions (I highlight that we are not talking about words that people want denounced recently) by white supremacists, racists, and antisemites who voted for him and who continue to support him.” And Jared Kushner must have learned about this by now and continues to heap praise on his father-in-law. It’s all in that family. If you get what I mean by this little display or “archery.”

And Fox News is not the only news outlet that I feel that way about.

And this information comes from the work of an Orthodox rabbi and not from a traditional historian.

Jews were a majority population in 1840 in Jerusalem.

The worst cruelty in a land filled with poverty, disease, and hardship was the dhimmi or that the Jew was an infidel. Jews were inferior and provided a “subsidiary” function to Muslims and persecution was constant. And capricious. And vicious. And voilent. In 1839 the British Consul in Jerusalem commented about “oppression against a Jew” and how he sought “justice” for Jews. This was about 80 years before the Balfour Declaration. Keep those key words in mind and learn that Jews were not really the imperialist colonizers that they have been portrayed.

Before the end of World War I, the Ottoman Turks held the power in Palestine. That power was lost with the victory over Germany and the Turks. Imagine what could have happened had Germany and the Ottoman Turks had won. That was part of my thought when I wrote about Beyoncé in one of my latest articles. If I were s boy, she sang and here we have what ifs to think about.

I think a national conference is called for as Latinos are fearful now because of the murder of a Georgian student by a migrant who happens to be Latino. That hate being generated once again by Trump and his supporters has to stop and should be Never Never theme for Jews, Latinos. and others. This is the time to join together and get people to stop donating to Trump and speak to others to remove his signs on millions of lawns. Trump has been an “enabler” of antisemitism. Tell that to Jared and Ivanka to find out if they have learned about that or not. Trump generated hate against Mexico and others.

The events of that day included Americans in power that wished to keep Jews our of America which led to the USA’s most antisemitic legislation (1924) that affects all migrants today who cross our border. US churches, college campuses, school districts like Berkeley, California, voters and the news media must share these important truths. The original sin, like slavery in the USA, must be told including the Massacre in Hebron in 1929 (Tulsa, Oklahomas’s Black Wall Street was wiped out by White people around that time) where 67 Orthodox Jews lost their lives. Starting with the Nakba is wrong. Read on and see more.

I know that all ethnic, racial, religious, and other groups are divided and much of that division is purely irrational behavior. I hope that much of it is not irrational. Do what you can to defeat M.A.G.A. again.

In the midst of that poverty and hate, Jews were accomplishing things.

1855 Sir Moses Montefiore bought land for a Jewish settlement near Jerusalem.

1854 Misgav Ladach Hospital was opened. Then the Bikur Cholim Hospital and Chabad Beit Menachem Study House in 1858.

And the call went out to Russia for people to come and that was 20 years before Herzl started a Zionist movement. But there was a Chovevei Zion movement as Jews gathered in Katowice, Poland (Austria Hungary).

And Baron Edmond de Rothshild (John D. Rockefeller wrote the check to uplift Black children in Jim Crow Florida as Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune got help) got involved in 1881, founding Jewish settlements including Ekron, Gadera, Rishon LeZion, Zichron Yaakov, Rosh Pina, Ueod Hamaala, Metulla, and Hadera. In 1882, he founded the Carmel Wine Company which is known today.

And into the 1890s, more Jewish settlements came into being. In 1888, a Yemenite village appeared called Kfar Hashiloah.

And looking at that admirable growth of Jews in Palestine and then writing about the Holocaust and thinking about the Jewish lives that could have been saved if only Jews could get there. The rabbi had nice thoughts, but Palestine was highly influenced by Nazi power and Arabs waited for the German Army to be victorious in North Africa. Half of the Arabs in Palestine were sympathetic to the Nazis. Imagine what would have happened to the Jews in Palestine even before 1948. It’s not entirely about Netanyahu, is it?

Congressman Albert Johnson and Senator David Reed, both Republicans, gave US a series of immigration acts designed to the referring to the recent immigrants (before 1924) as a “bulwark against a stream of alien blook” and referred to the recent wave of Jewish immigrants as “filthy, un-American, and often dangerous in their habits.” And now knowing that Benjamin Netanyahu has known for decades that Ze’ev Jabotinksy was right in calling for “3 million Jews to flee” Eastern Europe. Where were they going to go? Most would have to come to America, but that was illegal since 1924. They could have crossed the Mexican border in El Paso and other places. Americans did it to the Jews then and continue to do it to migrants today.

And I know about Jews who have said that they had to stay at the end of the line and so migrants have to do the same thing today.

But 3 million Jews were lost and lost largely because they could not come to America. Staying at the end of a line to all Jews should now sound

repugnant and repugnant perhaps for the first time. I knew about this kind of thing 20 years ago, but I didn’t know that Benjamin Netanyahu knew what I am teaching here. Why all that silence?

Abbott has used his free speech to reveal his hate at the border. On campuses and in streets, we notice the same things taking place to Jews and Muslims and others. I just watched MSNBC as the ADL’s Jonathon Greenblatt spoke about his visit to Brown University. I will not share with you what happened there. What will happen to states that are defying a court decision about the border. This about barbed wire and buoys with the Texas, Florida, etc. name on them.

As you know from discussions of “free speech” that have been taking place since congressional leaders asked three Ivy League presidents to denounce speech calling for genocide (of Jews). Are these same congressional leaders denouncing what has been taking place at the border? No. Why would those repugnant people who back Trump do that?

I would like to once think of all those people crossing the border or whose bodies have been retrieved in rivers or who were taken hospitals because of injuries sustained as Jewish people fleeing persecution from hell in Europe in 1940. The Jabotinsky-Netanyahu-Danenberg statement was published weeks ago for Jews around the world to know. I asked for a polling of Jews, and I got nothing. I also spoke to Ruben Garcia of the Annunciation House in El Paso, Texas who thanked me for “the history lesson” and then abruptly left the conversation. I wrote to Bishop Seitz of the Roman Catholic Church. I think of him right now as Rabbi Seitz because what he is facing right could have happened to the Jews in 1940 and Trump will probably tell you that there are “good people on both sides” and Abbott is clearly one of the good ones in that context. The entire Catholic church has to become rabbinic right now as the churches right to minister is under threat. I recommended convents way before he barbed wire and buoys appeared. Convents in the Rio Grande. And at a time that the right-wing racists in our nation were opposing Jews, Negroes, and Catholics, now Catholics need support against Texas and its laws that could have easily been created in Hitler’s Germany in 1940.

And the desperation of humanity did not only exist among Jews who were soon sent to gas chambers. Millions of Frenchmen and others had to leave their homes to work in German factories to support its war effort. Also, women were repeatedly raped in World War II, by Germans, Soviet troops, by American troops, and obviously by others in a world gone crazy.

The Texas military base not United States Army.

80 acres base camp

2,300 soldiers

700 seat dining facility

a gym

a laundry and medical services

Florida and Georgia have sent their own troops

25 Republican governors have signed a statement in support of Governor Abbott

What do you think is going to take place?

This was about a nexus between French people who knew the 13^th of Emile Zolá’s novels and considered his best. Without knowing that fact, I read the book in my teenage years in Manhattan on the Lower East Side. Those words were the testimony to the love for a great man. Germinal meant within the context of the story the hope for a better future amongst the miners. Germinal was that seed which would grow. Zolá had done incredible research for this work, going down into the mines to learn things. Miners all over the world have probably paid tribute Zolá since his book has been translated into 100 languages.

I had no plan to be a miner. What happened to me is that I learned much at home and when I entered a bookstore and saw the book, I did not hesitate to buy it.

Mon Coeur a Dreyfus

As his pants drop showing Zolá’s buttocks we can see the inscription “My Heart belongs to Dreyfus.” The artist is unknown. It also says ZOLA-MOUQUETTE Le Fondement de l”affaire Dreyfus.” That means the foundation of the Dreyfus Affair.

That was a political-social wing of France in 1898. Zolá died in 1902 caused by asphyxiation in his home (murder). Could that have been the work of socialist-communists in France? No. The right-wing which attacked Jews (Dreyfus was a Jew), strongly helped to divide France. That movement was fundamentally what we see today in the United States under Donald Trump.

I had to go back to the book I read about Emile Zolá by Alan Schom to find more. I have previously written what Anatole France spoke about Zolá at the latter’s funeral which is “he was a moment in the human conscience.” And I add to that now “A new order is resulting from it, an order of things founder on a better justice system and a deeper knowledge of the rights of everyone.”

That was 1902 and those words had only an ember left at times throughout the 20^th century and that ember through stronger does seem weak again in 2024. Anatole France spoke “Standing up against the most prodigious of outrages that stupidity, ignorance and cruelty ever raised his glory has reached an unapproachable stature.”

There was much more in those words than defending Captain Alfred Dreyfus in 1898 by writing J’Accuse. And even before I searched for this information, I had in mind injustices because there are many. I have been relying on facts and history here, but I pride myself on my own creativity and I was thinking about linking Emile Zolá to a song that was popular recently. Think of Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and his order to prohibit transgender sports events in Nassau County. Think of the transgender people who died at the hands of the Nazis.

Oh the song? Le chanson est par une chanteuse Afrricaine Americaine et elle s’appelle Beyoncé. This is a message for African Americans and all others. We are divided. People of all faiths are divided. People of all ethnic groups and nationalities are divided. The mob is not just a white one. Anatole France would not remain silent even as Mme. Alexandrine Zolá asked him not to speak about Dreyfus. Anatole France objected by saying that he would not speak at all if he could not speak about Dreyfus. Mme. Zolá, before the funeral, was afraid that demonstrations would take place if Dreyfus were mentioned (right-wing ones).

Quixote and Zolá: Justice For All

Posted June 12, 2020

Don Quixote sends for Colin Kaepernick and learns from Kaepernick that a lot of the nation did not protect his freedom of speech before NFL Football Games.  Quixote tells him that he only remembers the torero or bullfights in Madrid.  Kaepernick excuses himself, turning away from Quixote.  He starts to cough a lot and that leads to a mysterious windy moment.  Suddenly a two-legged object is moving close to them.   A man appears.  It is Emile Zolá, the famous French journalist.  Don Quixote and Zolá leave together as Kaepernick remains there kneeling.

Don Quixote welcomes Zolá and the team is now in place.  They discuss Germinal, the great work about France’s coal miners who Zolá wished to have a better future.  Don Quixote points out Zolá’s anti-Catholicism and finds out that they were on the wrong side of history and the laws of nature.  But his work in helping the poor and persecuted were powerful.  The French were fou or crazy about anti-Semitism and there could develop a massacre from it.

Emile Zolá tells Don Quixote that he decided that the best time to appear was the very moment that Quixote was talking to Kaepernick.  It’s all about justice and that is the help that is needed now and I exited with Kaepernick’s words.    Quixote says it was a great injustice to expel the Judios.  Zolá says it destroyed Spain’s power and the atrocities continued.  “What have you learned?” Zolá asks.   “Watch” Quixote points.  It’s James Comey talking about the state of the president.  “Trump said I hope that you can let Mike Flynn go and I took it as a direction.”  Zolá is upset and moves about.  “And I bet that Comey became the target, the scapegoat.  In 1894 in Paris it was Dreyfus,” Zolá says.  Seeing Zolá upset, the two men sit down and Quixote prepares two glasses of sangria to drink.

Now a bit more relaxed, they learn about the detention of the immigrants at the border and the humanitarian crisis created by Trump.  Don Quixote says that a man like that deserves to be put in the dungeon, but even in my day the dungeon was inhumane.  Look he says as we see Jews being tortured during the Inquisition.  Zolá says that the Dreyfus trial was a complete set up based on no evidence that a German speaking Jew from the newly acquired Alsace Lorraine had betrayed France.  Look over there as we see Captain Alfred Dreyfus being stripped of his rank, his sword being broken, and finally Dreyfus being taken away a prisoner after he shouts his innocence.

Yes it’s all about La Justicia.  Yes Zolá confirms Le Justice. Zolá speaks about about injustice – “As for the people I accuse, I do not know them, I never saw them, I have against them neither resentment nor hatred. To me, they are only entities, spirits of social evil. And the act I am hereby accomplishing is only a revolutionary means to hasten the explosion of truth and justice.”

Sunday October 5, 1902 was the funeral. There were no demonstrations in spite of demonstrations in France during that period by The League of the French Fatherland and usually the French police looked the other way when that happened.

Shouldn’t students across the United States know about all this? My plan is to bring France and the USA together. College and university campuses are on my mind. Others rent a space, hold panel discussions that may be helpful or just seem helpful, but the messaging will leak slowly to the general public. And even as those things happen, Jews and others remain silent or have their heads in the sand. J’Accuse! And a congressman from Florida has just spoken that Israel should not receive aid until funds for the United Nations are cut. That request borders on antisemitism just as the boycott of Israel does. Both are designed to eliminate the state of Israel and that could also mean genocide.

And getting back to Nauseous County and Bruce Blakeman. Transgender surgeries were being performed in the 1920s in Europe. Americans went there because it was something new. The surgery existed in Germany before Hitler and because “woke died in Nazi Germany” that kind of surgery and abortion, too, were eliminated. And for people who hear talk about the “Marxists” providing US with this “woke” ideology” spoken about. Soviet Union politics hid antisemitism until the 1960s and learned what needed to be done by learning about the prejudice against Blacks and Jews in America.

Matt Gaetz’s Florida, the Florida of Ron DeSantis is “where woke goes to die today.” So many things that hundreds of millions of Americans support these days in the Nazification of the United States or some other ism that our nation has fought against, but readily accepts now. Stop Trumpism Now! And keep a close eye on all kinds of people stirring the pot at Fox News. And the color of the person’s skin does matter! Nor does his or her religion or nationality.
