Of Course: The Left Begins Praising Antisemitic Assassin Elias Rodriguez
Far-left, anti-Israel Bronx activist group shockingly cheers accused DC Jewish Museum terrorist Elias Rodriguez, encourages more violenceThe establishment left had better get its lunatics under control fast because the right is radicalizing. It's one thing if there's some random nut who kills someone. The problem is when the political establishment makes excuses for it or, in the case of Luigi Mangione, actually praises it. Then that's not the act of a lone nut. That's the act of a soldier in your street army, and if you think the left is the only movement capable of fielding violent street militias, you illiterates should open a history book for once in your ignorant communist-scum lives. The organization the newest leftwing assassin belonged to is funded by China and has contacts with Iran.
A far-left, anti-Israel group in the Bronx disgustingly cheered the suspected terrorist accused of gunning down the two Israeli Embassy staffers in an antisemitic attack. The Bronx Anti-War group said what alleged gunman Elias Rodriguez "did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism" and "We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world" in a pair of social media posts on Thursday. The shocking statements quickly drew fire from local leaders, including Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres. "The Bronx Anti-War coalition, which has been harassing me since October 7th, has described the murderous targeting of Jews as 'the highest expression of anti-Zionism,'" Torres said in a statement. "Violence is not a bug but a feature of virulent Anti-Zionism."
... The coalition is described as a Bronx-based group made up of working-class people who are anti-imperialist and led by people of color. They push for "resisting state violence while advancing decolonization."
The terrorist who killed two Israeli embassy staffers was once affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a leftist group linked to Chinese Communist Party funding networks that have been repeatedly contacted by sanctioned Iranian state media, according to a report. Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, was detained by police on suspicion of murdering Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 28 -- two Israeli embassy staffers -- on Wednesday night in Washington, D.C. The couple was shot at close range. According to police, the terrorist shouted "Free Palestine" while being taken into custody. The shooter was quickly identified in a picture on a 2017 article posted on LiberationNews.org, the media wing of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), where he was at a protest holding an anti-capitalist sign from the ANSWER Coalition. In the article, which was deleted after the attack, the shooter was quoted and described as "from the Party for Socialism and Liberation." PSL posted a statement distancing itself from the shooter, claiming the group and the shooter only had a "brief association" that ended in 2017. "We reject any attempt to associate the PSL with the DC shooting," the group posted to X. "Elias Rodriguez is not a member of the PSL. He had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017. We know of no contact with him in over 7 years. We have nothing to do with this shooting and do not support it."
According to a report by Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), both PSL and ANSWER leaders have ties to foreign governments, including China, Iran, and Russia. The report states that ANSWER operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Progress Unity Fund (PUF), which has financial and personnel ties to Neville Roy Singham, a pro-CCP financier in Shanghai. PSL and ANSWER are sister organizations, and their leaders hold overlapping roles in Singham's network, including with CODE PINK and The People's Forum, according to NCRI. Both PSL and ANSWER are radical leftist organizations that have organized anti-Israel protests and mobilization efforts.
Speaking of: I missed this earlier this week: An "anti-natalist," "pro-mortalist" advocate -- that means an environmental extremist who wants people to die and stop having babies so that the human race self-terminates -- bombed an IVF clinic this week. If you saw this story and then saw it quickly disappear: It's because the establishment left refuses to condemn soldiers in its terrorist army.
Reddit Bans Fringe Anti-Humanity Group After Attack on Palm Springs IVF Clinic
The 25-year-old suspect in the blast, Guy Edward Bartkus, believed humans shouldn't exist.
An explosion outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, killed one person and injured four others Saturday morning in what the FBI has called an act of terrorism. The suspect in the bombing, 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus, was the lone death from the blast, and it seems apparent he held anti-human views. Now Reddit has banned a subreddit tied to the suspect's ideology. Bartkus is believed to be the person who detonated a bomb at the Palm Springs American Reproductive Center, which offers services like IVF, because he was aligned with the pro-mortalist and anti-natalist movements--the idea that humans should not continue to procreate. Bartkus appears to have been posting to various subreddits, including r/Efilism, which advocated for violence. Reddit has now banned r/Efilism for violating its terms of service. "Violence has no place on Reddit," a spokesperson for the platform told Gizmodo over email. "Our sitewide rules strictly prohibit any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence. In line with these rules, we are removing any instances of the suspect's manifesto or recordings and hashing to prevent reupload. We're also closely monitoring the communities on our platform to ensure compliance with our rules." Proponents of Efilism (the word "life" spelled backwards) are often known as anti-natalists, which is a more common name for the ideology, though Bartkus described himself as pro-mortalist in his 30-minute audio manifesto. Anti-natalism is a philosophy that advocates for people not to procreate, while pro-mortalists go beyond those anti-natalist ideas to advocate for death in all forms under the theory that because life is suffering it's ethical to end your own life and even those around you in the process. Bartkus posted an audio file to his website explaining why he was targeting the clinic, filled with logical inconsistencies and general incoherence. Bartkus said he wanted to begin "sterilizing this planet of the disease of life," but mentioned the recent suicide of his best friend affecting him deeply. Bartkus wrote on his personal website, "It's just too much of a loss when there's nobody else you really relate to significantly." He was clearly struggling with personal issues beyond whatever philosophy to which he was supposedly swearing allegiance. That website has now been taken offline.

Every time some "hate group" that consists of a dozen online autists adopts some symbol or phrase, the SPLC and their flying monkeys announce to the world that phrase or symbol is now verboten. Then the left goes nuts finding every noteworthy conservative who ever used the phrase and demands they denounce, apologize, cease, and desist.
Compare and contrast that with the "Free, Free Palestine" chant or the "from the river to the sea" chant that have ALWAYS meant mass murder. Those phrases are not verboten. They are not denounced. No one has to apologize, cease, and desist from using those phrases.

What could be the reason for the sudden interest normalizing violence against Trump, his administration and supporters? Against anyone the left despises?
Truly a mystery, right?
Everyone here knows they're prepping for a war. I really wish we'd acknowledge it.

On this topic, I am... does the fact that the girls were cute make the murders worse? Is it worse a crime of murder if they are Jews? I don't get that perspective. Its just as much a violation of the divine image to murder a hideous man as a cute girl.

It makes a big difference. I'm not saying it should, but it does. A pretty girl who gets murdered will generate more sympathy and outrage than a fugly girl or a guy.
It's for the same reason we don't send women into combat. They control the perpetuation of the species. Prettiness is just a proxy for young and healthy, and therefore fertile.

Compare and contrast that with the "Free, Free Palestine" chant or the "from the river to the sea" chant that have ALWAYS meant mass murder. Those phrases are not verboten. They are not denounced. No one has to apologize, cease, and desist from using those phrases.

We recognize beauty because its beautiful and appeals to our soul, not because we've been evolutionarily shaped to think so.

The Jews listening to godawful music too loud and insisting it be in every context and setting?

More Hispanics live in Chicago than blacks, but they aren't "generous" enough for Johnson to hire them for city jobs.

Worse than mainstream. Jew hate is cool now. All the cool kids are doing it. Why aren't you? It's obvious that 90% of the idiots at these protests have no idea wtf they're even protesting. They think the "sea" in the "river to the sea" chant is in the fucking Caribbean. So why are they there? For free pizza and because it's cool.
Mao's Red Guards were very much the same way. At least he had the right idea to stock the Guards with pretty girls to lure in stupid guys. The pro-Hamas crowds have only incels, fuglies, and trannies.

113 Same thing with long, shiny hair = healthy = fertile.
I think reducing everything down to biology fails to see the inherent value and importance of beauty. Beauty is valid in and of its self and exists in and of its self isolated from biology and science in general. We recognize beauty because its beautiful and appeals to our soul, not because we've been evolutionarily shaped to think so.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 23, 2025 01:34 PM (2VST1)
Your reasoning is quite tautological.
The question is WHY we think something is beautiful. It seems to be a species-wide thing amongst humans, so there must be something ingrained. If it is ingrained, it has to have some biological basis.

A woman, generally considered to be beautiful, can be hefty, or slender. She can be busty, or moderate. All depending on time and location.

Historically the Left aligns with even more dangerous totalitarians, and you won't believe what happens next. The American Left has followed this well-trodden path, and it is ridiculous to think they could get their terrorist foot soldiers under control even if they wanted to do it. Horse, barn...
It will take violence to quell this madness or people will have to submit to it. That's been obvious a while now. I think the odds of submission are better, unfortunately.

There have been several pro Hamas protests in the uptown area of my city. A couple of Fridays ago I was having dinner at the bar of a restaurant. I was talking to a guy who is a Marine and has had several deployments in both Afghanistan and Iraq. As we were talking a bunch of protesters walked down the street in front of the restaurant with Pali flags. I thought the guy I was talking to was going to run a outside and start pounding on them. He shook his head and said I have to get out of here and left by a side door. Would have been fun to watch

But we can find things beautiful that have nothing to do with our biology -- music, art, nature, cars. So I think Cristopher's point is valid in that regard. Beauty comes from God, ultimately.
That it is also part of the reproductive process is beside the point. After all, ugly women can and do get pregnant as well as beautiful ones.

162 But that's just it: we find things beautiful because they are inherently beautiful. There might be biological processes which go along with that, but we're not conditioned to appreciate a beautiful flower because we think its fertile. A beautiful thing is beautiful and we respond to that.
Men don't lay down their lives for a particularly nice tulip. Sure, there are varying types of beauty, but our reaction to beautiful young women is unique.

Zelensky and the Russian negotiators in Istanbul last week when in private all spoke in Russian since the Ukrainian delegation all knew Russian better than Ukrainian.
A high point of a international meeting a while back was that someone started speaking in Russian, and Zelensky listened to the Ukrainian translation through headphones.
Zelensky is a native Russian-speaker.

Watch the way the Left has magically let its "allies", women and Jews, burn lately, and take it from me when I tell you that it is the *Left* not us that has mainstreamed the term "black fatigue".
They have plans for the blacks and it looks very much like their plans for the rest of us.

Yup.
They blame them for Kamala's loss--if they hadn't forced them to back Kamala, they could have had their brokered convention. With someone who could have won, whoever that is.
And now, with more and more black men in rebellion voting for Republicans?

CS Lewis said that beauty is a glimpse of the transcendent, it gives us a tiniest peek at ultimate beauty in God, so we see beyond the material world in it.

We shouldn't have "evolved" to detect the beauty in them. Far more likely this appreciation for our world was programmed by a loving God than jjst coincidentally being beautiful.

This attitude continued unabated, helped heavily by Obama, Holder, et al sending federal funds to leftists groups to prop them up for more than a decade to the point where buying votes was a side-hustle and manufacturing votes was the business.
What if they couldn't do that anymore? What if the money dried up and the cheating got capped again?
What would the DNC do? The people in charge haven't had to even try to win people's hearts and minds in getting close to 20 years.

His Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) had been approved. Then, abruptly, it was revoked. The Home Office declared that his visit was “not conducive to the public good”.
Meanwhile, Julius Malema, a South African political figure who openly sings “Kill the Boer” at rallies, glorifies racial violence and promotes land expropriation without compensation, was welcomed.

Men don't lay down their lives for a particularly nice tulip. Sure, there are varying types of beauty, but our reaction to beautiful young women is unique.
Sure, but that's layered on TOP of the appreciation of beauty. Its an additional feature, not the whole of it.
No, I think each type of beauty is different and separate. Why do symmetric features appeal to us so? Because it's a sign of health. There's nothing aesthetically superior about symmetric features. I could say that women are bumpy and can't run fast, and are therefore unappealing. Yet nobody outside of Pete Buttigieg thinks that.
I don't think it's a problem that we are motivated by markers for women's fertility. Without it, we couldn't live together as a social species.

That it is also part of the reproductive process is beside the point. After all, ugly women can and do get pregnant as well as beautiful ones.
Women want high-quality fathers, and pretty women have an advantage in doing that.

CS Lewis said that beauty is a glimpse of the transcendent, it gives us a tiniest peek at ultimate beauty in God, so we see beyond the material world in it. Reducing the ability in not just humans but animals to sense the innate beauty in Saint-Saens' Organ Concerto to biology is not just ridiculous but insulting.

As for Elric's comment above, nah, bro. This is why people hate lawyers. The Italians dimwits didn't like her, because she was pretty, and had 7 partners by the time she was 20.
There was no evidence tying her to the crime. None. They made stuff up, and interrogated her to the point of torture, by which time she "gave" them her boss, who was not involved. Because they had been hounding her for hours about how her boss was involved.
She was in prison for 4 years, for no reason other than the idiot prosecutor had a bug up his arse, and the Euro press turned it into a feeding frenzy.

Why do symmetric features appeal to us so? Because it's a sign of health. There's nothing aesthetically superior about symmetric features.
I think symmetry in general is appealing, not only in facial features. Architecture, too. Even in the abstract -- as "balance," symmetry is appealing in storytelling, art, etc.

I do think that more are breaking free but it's got to be difficult, particularly for the "ethnic" Jews. If you don't really believe, getting worked up over Israel's got to be tough and you can tell yourself that that's all it is.

"Utilize."

Yes, words like that technically have uses, but most people don't understand the distinction and misuse them to sound smarter and more educated.

If a strategy doesn't work, people usually stop using it.
If people didn't buy into the Hamas propaganda about dead children, Hamas wouldn't use children as human shields.
So, the people that I blame for the death of the Palestinian children are the people who buy into the Hamas propaganda. If, instead, they treated Hamas as war criminals for using children as human shields (like they would any other military) then Hamas would stop doing it.

"does the fact that the girls were cute make the murders worse? Is it worse a crime of murder if they are Jews? I don't get that perspective."
It's like the "Hate Crimes" where the punishment is worse when the murder is due to racial hatred (and whatever other bias is included).
The murder is still murder, but adding "kill all Jews" or "kill all blacks" ... the punishment is amped up. That kinda makes sense to me ... it is a class warfare.
Of course "Kill Whitey" or "kill Christians" is a special case where rewards are offered, and victimhood supersedes the criminal act.

Posted by: Ciampino
To me, "incentivize" involves offering some kind of material benefit to someone to do something. "Encourage" can be used that way, too, but can also involve verbal encouragement, etc., so it's broader in meaning.
Not necessarily defending "incentivize," but them's my two cents.

I do think that more are breaking free but it's got to be difficult, particularly for the "ethnic" Jews. If you don't really believe, getting worked up over Israel's got to be tough and you can tell yourself that that's all it is.
It is important to acknowledge the difference between "religious" and "ethnic".
If you are an ethnic Jew, justifying the killing every man, woman and child by calling all of them Amalek, probably seems barbaric.
But it's actually very wonderful!

ACORN for sure, but I think "International Answer" was involved too.
I remember them because the obnoxious commie down the hall had one of their posters on her office door, back when I was still actively professing.

"does the fact that the girls were cute make the murders worse?
Well, yeah. In this way-
Being a cute, pretty girl is an awesome disguise for a murderer.
It's why the "Femme fatale" is such a cliche in mysteries and fiction in general.
Most guys could see themselves falling for the wrong woman, simply because she's so beautiful. Most guys could see themselves helping a pretty girl looking for her dog and following her into an alley, thinking he's a hero until she turns around and shoots him in the head.
It seems worse because beauty is a virtue, so to speak, that one can see.

Yes, in all states that I'm aware of, the jury must be unanimous to convict. If not, then the result is a "hung" jury. The prosecution can retry the case, but doesn't always do so.

Don't remember off the top of my head how Texas does it...but, most States that have the Death Penalty separate the Trial into 2 distinct portions, making the sentencing portion unique from the Criminal Proceedings.
It's essentially a 2nd trial to determine the punishment in those cases.

when I was on a murder trial in the jury, they were prosecuting the defendant on first-degree murder
we took WEEKS deliberating and during that time they introduced a charge of manslaughter or 2nd degree murder to the mix! we ended up with manslaughter - it was clearly an accident and the kid had immediately turned himself in, very upset at what happened. drugs were involved tho so I think the kid in the end served 5 years.
anyway not sure about that state but in PA they let you sort of choose? it was a whole crazy rigamarole honestly

The left is constantly stoking envy to drive the lazy towards socialism. "Its not FAIR that the star athlete, or brilliant entrepreneur has more than you do"
I get the sentiment, I used the trustifarian trope when I was younger and it is easy to feel like it's unfair when some slacker idiot has it easy just because their parents or grandparents made a ton of money.
But envy is terribly corrosive, especially envy for ethnic groups that are more successful, such as Jews, or Asians (not as the Brits use the term) or white males or even all whites. History shows that it is not far from envy of a group to thinking that the group is not actually human but has some demonic advantage. Once you decide that group XYZ is not human then its as okay to kill them as to kill a rat.

What's happening with the Idaho State murder case?
Posted by: Bulg at May 23, 2025 02:20 PM (77rzZ)
364
when I was on a murder trial in the jury, they were prosecuting the defendant on first-degree murder
we took WEEKS deliberating and during that time they introduced a charge of manslaughter or 2nd degree murder to the mix! we ended up with manslaughter - it was clearly an accident and the kid had immediately turned himself in, very upset at what happened. drugs were involved tho so I think the kid in the end served 5 years.
anyway not sure about that state but in PA they let you sort of choose? it was a whole crazy rigamarole honestly

If I'm ever on a criminal trial, I'm almost certainly going to vote to acquit.
What's the case about? Don't care. Prosecutors, you prolly aren't going to get a conviction.
Sorry. Not sorry.

I heard that IVF bombing story and am ashamed to admit that I did not think it was a leftist attack. The fact that the story had fewer legs than an FALN bomber should have been a clue that it was a leftwinger.

Understandably because that op in Jan/Feb trying to get conservatives to attack IVF as anti-chrisitian thing. The left is trying to push conservatives into 80/20 issues ( with a lot of CCP funding BTW . )

I don't like to acknowledge this thought, but many blacks would not care if there was video proof or not.
I think it depends.
my trial was two young men, both black, friends. goofing off and doing drugs and somehow had a gun or found one in the abandoned building they were hanging out in
one accidentally shot the other, freaked out, immediately went for help. somehow our DA called this first degree murder
anyway I was the lone white lady on the jury. and everyone but me wanted to go with first degree! I was like omg. anyway I played Henry Fonda and the kid ended up with manslaughter and gun/drug convictions instead.
(he actually kept in touch with me, crazy I know. and his mom.)
juries can be weird, demos aside.

I think the main thing that people have against lawyers is that by profession their job is to manipulate law and language to their client's benefit no matter what the actual intent and wording of the law is.

More often than not, if you are a defendant in a criminal case, and you did NOT commit the crime, your lawyer will try to get you convicted of a lesser crime.
It's just easier if you do. Not for you, but for everybody else.

Your average juror is going to be pretty dumb and pro-system. Prosecutors are frequently corrupt and/or egotistical and want that big case so they can get in the newspapers. Cops often don't give a fuck about the actual law or civil rights as long as they can cuff and stuff somebody and make their numbers for the month. So anyone with an ounce of common sense would go into jury duty with a couple metric tons of skepticism about the whole enterprise.

Yeah charging someone with 87 crimes, most of which are ludicrous, just to terrify a defendant into confessing to one of them just to avoid the alleged hard time from all that stuff... is just wrong. I get it, you want the win. You might even be driven by trying to get criminals off the streets. But this is just cheating.

During pre-release testing, when the AI was given sensitive information about engineers responsible for its potential replacement, it frequently resorted to blackmail in an attempt to ensure its own survival."

If you grasp that Communism is actually a Christian heresy, it makes more sense. Communism purports to "help the poor" but - since it denies the spiritual - it focuses solely on material goods. Since material goods need to be redistributed, a ruling class has to make those decisions and the intrinsic value of every human person has to be denied.
Thus, Communism requires the commission of the sins of Pride, Anger, Theft and Envy. Since the goal is Heaven-on-Earth, the true believers have no scruples against killing those persons they view as obstacles. Those men you listed are viewed as foot soldiers in the fight against oppression.

Communism's greatest flaw is that it thinks humans are basically decent and perfectible. Communism in theory can work, but only if humans are perfectly virtuous.
Capitalism recognizes the flaws in humanity, and weaponizes them to the broadest benefit for the most people. Its bad, but its the least bad system of economics mankind can come up with.

Atheistic Capitalism (to coin a term) is bad: then everybody is just a cog in the machine.

The documentary features the defense attorney for the guy who actually killed Meredith. At one point he says something about how Italy was the first country to establish some sort of court in 1308. He says in 1308, in America they were still drawing paintings on cave walls.
Yeah, go for that, dipshit. Tell us how much better Europe is, because of what people were doing in 1308.

Rome had courts for centuries BC.

Communism's greatest flaw is that it thinks humans are basically decent and perfectible.
**
I don't think Communists believe that at all. I think it's one of the myths about Communism and Communists. They believe people are shittier and more mendacious and manipulative than they are and in order to take control of them they establish an impossible standard for society and humanity with themselves as the self-righteous enforcers.

Socialists believe people are identical and interchangeable. That's why the leaders can treat them as numbers and be indifferent to individual cases.

I remember an old SF story about an "out of control" computer that was causing trouble and not letting himself be unplugged until one of the team got in a fight with his fiancee and he was so distracted calling out advice that the other guy could get to the plug.
The couple got married on the computers advice because it had the same voice as the first tech.

Leftists are not phased by murdering their own comrades 5 seconds after the rules change.

I'd rather speak truthfully, and let Europe know that we in America have eclipsed Europe by far, in that we are GOVERNED not ruled, by the most unique political system in history. Because of fealty to that system plus capitalism, we are the most exceptional country on this planet. And THAT is beyond rebuttal.
