Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 11/1/23![]() Patrick Dai, a junior majoring in engineering at the prestigious university, was named in a federal complaint charging him with posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications — which could land him in jail for up to five years. The Pittsford, New York, native was formally charged just hours after New York State Police troopers identified a person of interest over the online threats to “bring an assault rifle to campus.” The disturbing messages, which came days after “F–k Israel” graffiti was scrawled on sidewalks at the upstate Ithaca campus, were revealed by university officials Sunday. “The genocidal fascist zionist regime will be destroyed,” said one of the messages posted to a public school forum. “Rape and kill all the jew women before they birth more jewish hitlers.” Dai allegedly threatened to “shoot up 104 west,” a university dining hall that caters predominantly to Kosher diets, and to “slit the throat” of any Jewish men he came across. Joel Malina, Cornell’s vice president for university relations, confirmed in a statement Tuesday that a Cornell student was in custody, but did not name Dai. “We remain shocked by and condemn these horrific, antisemitic threats and believe they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We know that our campus community will continue to support one another in the days ahead,” Malina said, adding that the school will maintain its “heightened security presence on campus.” . . . . . . On Tuesday, Hochul tapped Jonathan Lippman, a former chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals, to review the “policies and procedures related to antisemitism and discrimination at City University of New York campuses amid the unrest. “The problem didn’t begin with the weeks following Oct. 7 attacks,” Hochul said in making the announcement. “It’s been growing on a number of campuses and seen most acutely in the City University of New York."The Cornell apparatchik is "shocked." But is he Claude Rains "SHOCKED-shocked!"? And Kathy "Tussaud" Hochul is forming a commission? Of course the problem didn't start on October 7. It's been festering in the schools for decades, geniuses. We have a professoriate that is virtually 100% Leftist who indoctrinate their charges with the most idiotic and dangerous drivel that is 180 degrees out of phase with reality and completely antithetical to the advancement of true liberal (in the real sense of the word) societies that had been advancing, albeit in fits and starts, for the past 2,000 years. The words of these two tits, echoed all across the aforementioned regressive world are insulting in the extreme. They know full well where it's coming from. Or else, and perhaps quite likely, they're deluded themselves. Meh, they wouldn't have arrested this guy. They'd have rounded up the Yids on campus for bringing it on themselves. So he said what he said. He didn't' get it from Engineering for Dummies, did he? No, he got it from a source exactly like this one: Meredith Aby-Keirstead—a social studies teacher at Kennedy High School in suburban Minneapolis—spoke at an Oct. 21 Freedom Road Socialist Organization panel, which aimed to contrast "China's socialist policies to the imperialist agenda of the United States." During her speech, however, Aby-Keirstead steered the conversation away from China, opting instead to praise the "wins of Palestinian freedom fighters" and advocate for terrorism against Israelis. "When I hear people calling for a complete ceasefire, I think, 'No, that's not quite right,'" Aby-Keirstead said. "Because we only want one side to stop fighting." The social studies teacher went on to chant, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a rallying cry for the Jewish state's destruction. Aby-Keirstead, who has worked as a Bloomington Public Schools teacher since 1997, is an active member of a number of far-left activist groups, including the Freedom Road Socialist Organization's Twin Cities chapter and the Anti-War Committee. Last week, both the public school teacher and her 14-year-old daughter were arrested for trespassing at an anti-Israel rally held at Rep. Betty McCollum's (D., Minn.) office, the St. Paul Police Department confirmed. Aby-Keirstead and other rally goers said they would not leave until they got to "speak with the representative about her silence on the loss of Palestinian lives." . . . In 2010, meanwhile, the FBI raided the homes of Aby-Keirstead and other Anti-War Committee and Freedom Road Socialist Organization activists as part of a terrorism investigation. The committee refused to cooperate with the investigation, and the FBI went on to rescind subpoenas issued to Aby-Keirstead and other committee members. Aby-Keirstead told the World Wide Socialist Website that investigators were seeking her testimony about meetings she held "with activists in Colombia and Palestine," and unsealed court documents later alleged that two Freedom Road Socialist Organization members told an undercover FBI informant that they raised money for terrorist groups in the two countries. . . . . . Aby-Keirstead's pro-Hamas speech at the Oct. 21 panel was revealed by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization's blog, Fight Back! News. That blog in 2015 expressed support for convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who was involved in the 1969 bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket. The organization itself works to create "a new Communist Party based on Marxism-Leninism" and on Oct. 9 praised Hamas's attack on Israel as a "good turn of events."This filthy cancerous slag is teaching high school. If you think that that's bad, there are thousands more just like her teaching grade school all the way down to pre-K. And that Dai creep is a creep. A deeply disturbed creep. But he's far from the stereotypical beer-swilling, pig-buggering, grade school dropout who has the same tailor and party affiliation as Robert Byrd who burns crosses on lawns for fun 'n stuff. He's an engineering student at one of the most elite schools in the world. Then again, look who organized and implemented the Final Solution; doctors, engineers, lawyers, a number of whom had double doctorates and advanced degrees from universities that at the time had the most storied of reputations for intellectual rigor. And yet someone like Otto Ohlendorf, a double diplomate himself, as the head of Einsatzgruppen D in southern Russia and Ukraine was responsible for the mass murder shooting of 90,000 Jews. The slaughter perpetrated by Ohlendorf and his fellow commanders was face-to-face, and the murdered usually perished relatively close to their homes. It takes a special human type to shoot small children in a pit before the very eyes of their parents, themselves destined to die as well. And Ohlendorf’s men engaged in such depravity over and over again. . . . Found guilty for the mass murder of 90,000 men, women, and children, mostly Jews, Ohlendorf was sentenced to death in April 1948. To the end, he exhibited hardly any remorse about what he had done.To say the least. Until the moment the noose snapped his neck, he was proud of what he did and believed with every fiber of his being that what he was doing in killing men, women and even infants was necessary because he equated his victims with a disease that needed to be eradicated. Sound familiar? As horrific and cruel as Nazi Germany's barbarity, the same attitude was what we witnessed in Israel on October 7th. That attitude goes back 1,500 years in that part of the world which is set to finally bring down the Gates of Vienna on our heads. In Vogue, however, Ahed Tamimi did her best to portray herself as just a regular teenage girl, albeit one who happened to be the victim of a cruel military machine: “If I were permitted to be a regular teenager living in a normal country, I would play sports. I wanted to become a football player but I don’t play here because there is no time. Instead, I have been involved in demonstrations and confrontations with the Israeli army since I was a child. Many criticize that, but why not criticize the army who places itself in front of children? Under the occupation, everything is a crime. People should not accuse us; it is the occupation that is wrong.” There isn’t actually any occupation, but Ahed Tamimi’s ardor for the cause remains undimmed. Five years after her Vogue glamor shot, she published this message in Hebrew and Arabic on her Instagram page: “Our message to the settlers: (We) are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank, from Hebron to Jenin. We will slaughter you and you will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke. We will drink your blood and eat your skull. Come on, we're waiting for you." This is the kind of person the left celebrates, and why not? Lenin said it: “You have to break eggs in order to make an omelet,” and Islamic jihadis in Gaza and all over the world couldn’t agree more. It is now undeniable that the left is not, contrary to its own claims, the party of love, tolerance, inclusion, and all that, but of drinking blood and eating skulls. The question is not why Vogue Arabia ever featured a bloodthirsty savage such as Ahed Tamimi, but why the other editions of Vogue haven’t lionized her as well. They’ll get around to it in due time.Sorry to repeat this but it's funny how they deny the Holocaust happened while simultaneously praising Hitler and admonishing him for not finishing the job. And then the cherry on the parfait of then comparing themselves to Hitler's victims – the very same six million-plus dead Jews they want to be joined by the subsequent generation of survivors' progeny. When you consider how Charles Manson was able to control a band of emotionally vacant, drug-fueled teenyboppers you get a glimpse into what Billy Ayers was able to do, in a much more sophisticated fashion, to a whole group of future teachers. Not to mention how Mohammed was able to control a group of disorganized, Arabian Desert-roaming savages and turn them into 15 centuries worth of organized barbarism gussied up with nice calligraphy. We're reaping a bitter harvest, my friends.

The researchers said they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes.
Furthermore, the study of 35 recombinant isolates of Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2 confirmed that Omicron variants were already present in 2020. So the Wuhan Lab created the main Covid as well as hundreds of variants that trickle into the population. Posted by: rhennigantx at November 01, 2023 08:06 AM (lwOKI) 19

He panicked and actually called the police on himself because he didn't know what to do. The restaurant gave him his space to figure it out and that was the best solution he could come up with.
Officer Anthony Glass went to the counter, pulled out his credit card, and paid for the man's breakfast. The man asked for his phone number so he could pay him back but the officer kindly declined. This young man deserves to be recognized." Posted by: SMOD at November 01, 2023 08:09 AM (eX+51) 26

Normals like us would never adhere to their vision of "utopia." It also demonstrates how insecure they are about this vision they have.

If the polling is to be believed, a straight up majority of 18-24 year olds believe that rape, murder and infanticide against the civilian population of Israel is justifiable. I have little use for polling numbers, but that tracks with my observation of the young people I know.
You can't educate or negotiate or change that. It's an entirely different moral framework than the one older generations live within. Tomorrow Belongs to Them. It's their world, and we're just living in it. We'll die in it, too. Now, beheading Jewish kids is morally correct. The Party will turn the dial to the next hate object, and beheading their babies will be the "right thing to do." The Monster Babies are fully weaponized and ready to deploy.

Meredith Aby-Keirstead—a social studies teacher at Kennedy High School in suburban Minneapolis—spoke at an Oct. 21 Freedom Road Socialist Organization panel, which aimed to contrast "China's socialist policies to the imperialist agenda of the United States."
++++ This premise is ludicrous enough all on its own. The US is an imperial power. I know many disagree with that assessment, but I do not. It is what it is. There is always an empire and there is always a hegemon trying (and usually failing) to keep the world from falling to pieces. But to claim that China is not *also* an imperial power is asinine. The argument cannot be made. China's entire foreign policy is designed to build an economic and administrative empire and build hegemony. Setting aside the madness of the pivot into the Middle East during this event, the *original* premise is in fact no better. These are high school teachers toeing the Party Line and "teaching" falsehood as a matter of course. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 01, 2023 08:23 AM (ELpxa) 69

And that Dai creep is a creep. A deeply disturbed creep. But he's far from the stereotypical beer-swilling, pig-buggering, grade school dropout who has the same tailor and party affiliation as Robert Byrd who burns crosses on lawns for fun 'n stuff. He's an engineering student at one of the most elite schools in the world.
++++ And? One of the great fictions in the United States is that hatred - racial hatred, religious hatred, political hatred, etc. - and violence are low-class. They aren't. They are universal. A man lounging in a dark-paneled room and swilling brandy is just as capable of violence - even senseless violence - as the beer-chugging ditch digger. More to the point, he *wants* it at least as much, on average, as the rube. The *only* difference is in how much one has to lose. The fat cat has a lot to lose, the ditch digger has little. That's it. That's the primary moderating force, all other things being equal. If that particular disincentive is removed - that is, if senseless violence becomes safe because it is protected - the professionals will be up to their elbows in blood, shoulder-to-shoulder with their lower-class brothers.

J. A. Hobson in his seminal 1902 book Imperialism: A Study alleged that Jewish bankers were behind Western expansion across the world and were the only ones who gained by war because they financed what came to be called the “military-industrial complex.” As late as 1938, when Nazi Germany was conducting its pogrom leading to the Holocaust, Hobson’s new edition still accused “men of a singular and peculiar race” of being the main element of “the central ganglion of international capitalism.”
I have assumed for many years that all Progressives/Democrats are socialist/communist at the core. The free will/free trade/free market ideas of Western Civilization cannot survive along side their ideal one world government. The fact that Jews (people of G D) practice capitalism as service to both man and G D makes them enemy number 1. Posted by: rhennigantx at November 01, 2023 08:29 AM (lwOKI) 91

The problem is we've been largely fighting what Vom Clausewitz called "wars of observation". We are not fighting what he and Napoleon called "absolute" or "total" war. The first is a tepid half measure employed by people (or an idealist, unrealistic populace) who have no stomach for absolute war, which sets a specific objective and is run rather mercilessly until that mission is complete and the political forces have capitulated. It decries aspects like the nation building and side taking we've done in manny places which is demonstrably an abject failure. Absolute war has but one main purpose, and that is to destroy the threat so it never rises up in any form again and thus we are not fighting the same battle and going to war again in the near future. It's actually very anti war in the sense it's main purpose is threat elimination in a way that preserves the peace.

We aren't in retail. Our customers are other businesses. For our big, important customers - the big companies that spend a lot of money on our products and services - we try to treat them well. We put dedicated people on their accounts. Not just sales, but after-sales service and management. The customer manager from my company works closely with the customer to help them use - and keep using, and therefore keep buying - our products. Sometimes the customer managers go native. They forget that they're supposed to be working for *us* and start behaving as if they work for the customer. When this happens, the customer manager is reprimanded or terminated.

Remember one very rather large fact when reading the news, all these antisemites are Democrat foot soldiers. They are the same people they've called upon to fight all their causes in the street. The organizations and state actors involved I. The rampant antisemitism and calling for the elimination of the Jewish people and applauding this insidious attack were all funded by Democrats. They in fact restored funding that Trump rescinded.
Let that sink in for a moment and then realize the complete hypocrisy and dishonesty of Democrats trying to claim they support Israel and the Jewish people. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Democrats. Posted by: Marcus T at November 01, 2023 08:40 AM (T3vwt) 129

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Joe Biden at November 01, 2023 08:33 AM (Zz0t1) Way back in 2009 I was in Seattle to visit a friend. We went to the ballpark to watch the Mariners play the Yankees. Rivera did the unthinkable (for him): gave up the winning walk-off HR in the bottom of the 9th. The crowd went nuts. Even the greats have an occasional off night… and that was toward the end of his career. The HR hitter? Ichiro Suzuki Posted by: LinusVanPelt at November 01, 2023 08:42 AM (KEuti) 135

The current charges against Paxton have a long and bizarre history. Over events that allegedly took place in 2011, charges filed in Collin County in 2015 or 2016. Since then they have bounced from court to court and county to county with *no* *one* having been willing to actually hold the trial on these charges. It is the epitome of a purely political case.

My guess as to how these charges against Paxton will turn out - there already was a Federal trial on the same evidence , a lawsuit against Paxton. This trial only required a preponderance of the evidence in order to find against the defendant, yet Paxton won. Now they propose to hold a trial which requires them to find him guilty "beyond any reasonable doubt" when the civil trial failed with a much lower standard.
It should have been dropped as soon as the civil trial failed, but the Bush Family hates Paxton too much for that. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 01, 2023 08:56 AM (S6gqv) 188

Hey, at least they intervened and are doing something.
When little Christian children and senior citizens get blown away at a church, the federal government hides the manifesto. When hundreds of country music fans get blown to bits, we get "lone wolf, nothing to see. Move along." When a black mows down a bunch of small town white Christians at a Christmas parade we get...well....nothing. One guy makes online threats and there is a "rising tide of anti-semitism" and we must make policies, reviews, federal inquiries and everybody is concerned.

A week before its attack Hamas agreed to another truce with Israel. The agreement negotiated by Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations traded an end to border attacks for more imports, a bigger fishing zone and more work permits that allowed over 20,000 Gaza Muslims to enter Israel.
[Pin on Pinterest] The agreement reached between Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and Sukkot, the conclusion of the High Holy Days season, offered an end to the explosives and rocks being hurled at Israeli soldiers on the border and the incendiary balloons starting fires on Israeli farms. And terrorist attacks on civilians like the murder of Batsheva Nigri: a kindergarten teacher shot and killed while driving in her car with her 12-year-old daughter. Qatar, a state sponsor of Hamas and an ally of the United States, claimed that it had “succeeded in de-escalating the situation in the Gaza Strip by mediating an understanding.” But the border attacks and the negotiated ceasefire had all been part of a feint.

Musk did a very interesting interview with Rogan yesterday. He basically said the reason he bought Twitter is because it was nothing more than government propaganda and it was killing free speech and the country. Tik Tok is worse.
Posted by: JackStraw at November 01, 2023 08:57 AM (ZLI7S) ++++ TikTok is, I think, the greatest destructive force at play for young people at the moment. It is perhaps second to public schools, but it might be top dog regardless. Social media is a general social ill, but TikTok is the distillation of its essence. It's incredibly corrosive and destructive. There's a reason that Red China regulated Douyin (the original Chinese TikTok) so aggressively while encouraging ByteDance (the owner of both platforms) to engage in *no* regulation of it in foreign countries. TikTok wasn't designed to be a superweapon, but that's what it is. The CCP realized that fairly early, even if ByteDance didn't. It clamped down hard on it domestically, and encouraged it in its raw form elsewhere. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 01, 2023 09:03 AM (ELpxa) 217

Anyone who denies the Holocaust wants you and me dead. My parents (dad a Baptist preacher) insisted I watch the TV mini-series Holocaust (197 with them when I was in junior high. There were some grim scenes; they wanted me to know it happened. In college I read Martin Gilbert’s “The Holocaust”…. It’s so well and thoroughly documented only a fool or an evil bigot would deny it.
It was “War and Remembrance” for me. That whole miniseries is one of Those Moments that I referred to earlier. The Holocaust scenes were intense but I saw it anyway because, well, I had to know, and I already knew as a middle schooler not all history was rainbows and lollipops. So I had to out of a sense of duty. Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at November 01, 2023 09:07 AM (2s/1Y) 234

Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer 12h
CBS began the program calling it an “Israeli invasion of Gaza.” Not a counter-offensive. Not a counter-strike. By that measure, the US invaded Germany in 1944. CBS also waited 4 minutes, in its final sentence, to say Hamas commanders were killed. Why were they hiding there? CBS Evening News @CBSEveningNews 13h Israel says it hit about 300 Hamas targets with its most recent airstrikes, including a refugee camp in Gaza, causing catastrophic damage as it advanced further into enemy territory. Hamas says dozens were killed, with another 150 wounded. ====== Also using the 'refugee camp' trope. It's not a refugee camp; it's a city full of apartment buildings [albeit with tunnels and ammo dumps underneath them!] that the Palis call that to elicit false sympathy and pretending that it's just a temporary place they're living in until they "reconquer" the "rest" of "Palestine".

Help a poor bastard out. How does TikTok differ from Instagram?
Posted by: mr tmz at November 01, 2023 09:06 AM (rJ48h) ++++ TikTok's design is incredibly potent. Its recommendation algorithm is incredibly good. As it learns what you like, it will dump more and more of the same into your feed with astonishing accuracy. It keeps you engaged in a way no other social media platform does. Its also remarkably addictive and after getting you engaged, it is excellent at keeping you there. It reinforces whatever brought you there, often in concentration of content. It forms a passive echo chamber like no other platform, and keeps you in that chamber for hours on end, consuming short-form content. It crushes attention span, too, and it gets worse the more you use it. It saturates you with rapid-fire content for hours on end, eroding focus and attention like nothing else can accomplish. There's a reason the CCP puts time limits on Douyin. It's easy to get trapped until you burn out. TikTok is so engaging that it causes profitability problems. Ad conversions from TikTok *suck* compared to other outlets, because users don't want to click the link - that would take them away from TikTok.

Hamas supporters are howling this morning on the attack on Jabaliyah, claiming many civilians were killed. What happened was that the Israelis hit an underground Hamas command center, killing a leader of the Oct. 7th attack, and then secondary explosions spread through multiple tunnels packed with Hamas weapons underneath several apartment buildings. Oh but its Israel's fault that they were blown up by Hamas' own stockpiles.

"A spokesman for the Hamas government in Gaza has promised that the terror organization will repeat the October 7 massacre until Israel ceases to exist.

"Then again, look who organized and implemented the Final Solution; doctors, engineers, lawyers, a number of whom had double doctorates and advanced degrees from universities that at the time had the most storied of reputations for intellectual rigor."
100 years ago, Germany and Austria were the most scientifically advanced countries on earth. The bulk of the scientific Nobel Prizes went to their scientists. Less than 20 years after that, the world knew where their brains went. We need to be very careful about our current generation of youth.

Its also remarkably addictive and after getting you engaged, it is excellent at keeping you there. It reinforces whatever brought you there, often in concentration of content. It forms a passive echo chamber like no other platform, and keeps you in that chamber for hours on end, consuming short-form content.
- I dont use it but I think it also encourages, and maybe requires, EXTREMELY short clips, so that everything is pow-Pow-POW and you just go from one to the next until two hours of conditioning has passed without you realizing it.

It's funny because all the kids and kids friends don't really like the movie all that much because they've seen it every year and they only watch it because their parents want to (make them).
It's a great movie, but it's our movie.

What's wrong is that, after sneaking into our country, the state/federal governments go overboard to give them goodies - healthcare, housing, food stamps, ID, education for their kids through college, etc.. Why wouldn't they feel entitled to take it all?

Eugenics, phrenolgy, most... elite racist forms were all products of the technocrats/intelligentsia. They are trying to 'explain' tribal prejudices and justify them. This is sold to the lower classes at tribal animosity, but I think it is of a more... evil? Form. Because unlike a prejudice that springs from no casual or intimate contact with a group, it is a prejudice that you 'reason' yourself into. And a way to proselytize that prejudice.

While Quetzacoatl was the most moral of the Aztec deities, which is to say "Not a horror beyond comprehension like the rest were", I suspect JJ's using the name in the sense of "the largest of the North American pterosaurs" that were named after said deity.

In part, "Even as it helped Hochul last November — WFP votes making up most of her margin of victory against Republican Lee Zeldin — it was helping itself. The election helped the party preserve its ballot line. “We are absolutely not here just to support the Democratic Party and to get them out of a crunch when they get there,” Archila said in an interview. “Our goal is to get progressive leaders who truly identify as Working Family Party candidates and whose values are aligned in key places.

"This isn't even being anti-Trump or pro-DeSantis or in favor of someone else. The point is that Biden has openly said if Trump is the nominee, he is doing everything in his power to make sure Trump never steps foot in the White House again, and the rest of the left will fight like men possessed (yes, I know that is redundant) to follow through if these phony indictments do not. Hopefully short of killing him, but we never know."
Is Donald Trump the Only One? Biden is not saying anything on his own. He is a puppet and a mouthpiece for the Deep State and Obama and his people who have been working behind the scenes since his 2 terms ended January 2017. So anything "Biden said" should be looked at through that lens. The statement that "everything in his power" will be done to stop Trump means that the Deep State and Obama and his people will be doing everything in their power to stop Trump. And no, it is not about Trump, but rather anyone who stands for and supports what Trump stands for and supports. So no, Trump is not the only one. If DeSantis -- or anyone else -- is the nominee and runs on the same America-first platform, the Deep State will take him out as well.
