"Synagogue attacker who killed two was a ‘terrorist targeting Jews because they are Jews’, says Starmer"

Netanyahu's government, is committing genocide in Gaza, because the Palestinian residents of Gaza, aren't Jews. That is a fact.

1/🧵theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2…
I condemn anti-Semitism, and the type of hatred that led to this mindless violence, as much as I condemn the Zionist hatred of Palestinians. Mindless violence and hatred, is mindless violence and hatred. It's not about sides.
2/
My point is not whataboutery, or relativism. It's to ask why has Keir Starmer gone to such lengths, not to condemn Netanyahu's terrorisim, and genocide in Gaza? Constantly denying it's genocide, and uttering meaningless inanities, like Israel has got a right to defend itself.

Gosh, remember all those 2023 US Navalist accounts that denied - DENIED, I tell you - that drones from containerships would ever, ever, be a threat and that I personally was delusional for saying so publicly.

Who looks delusional now 😱⬇️

1/
One in every five US Naval vessels are defenseless to Chinese drones, surprise launched from Chinese merchant & fishing vessels, because the
every CNO since 1989 didn't want USN logistical officers to get a captaincy and compete for flag ranks.

2/
Instead of dealing with reality, the USN flags send out minions on X to say "de-lu-lu" things like this⬇️

Because the USN Flags from the Aviation, Surface and Sub communities don't want to have logistical officers get flag ranks and spotlight their professional delusions🤮🤮

OK - now at sentencing of Michael Anderson in Yoga to the People case. AUSA says he was the "functional CFO" - asking for prison but less than 46 months. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
AUSA: He was the son of a CPA. He fabricated documents, a mortgage application.
Defense: He lives in the Northwest - Canada doesn't allow you in if you have even a drunk driving change. He had planned to travel to Japan. I think some encouragement is appropriate
Anderson: It's been a long road (pause). I'm sorry.
Judge: The guideline starts at 46 months. The defense requests probation. Probation recommends 30 months. The Government recommends below 46 to 57 months. Over 8 years he committed fraud

Andy Ngo rips the mask off Antifa’s training operations across the country.

As Antifa prepares to convene in Philadelphia tomorrow for a training event, @MrAndyNgo says this is nothing new—and he’s thankful the administration is finally taking the threat seriously.

“These type of events—training events—have been happening across the U.S. for many, many years.”

“They’re used to recruit and to network and to train in some of the basics of militancy and criminal conspiracy.”

“I am thankful that the current administration appears to take the threat of Antifa very seriously, given the two executive orders that were signed related to Antifa and far left domestic terrorism.”

“The violence has been at this peak level for nearly a decade now. Ever since President Trump entered the political scene.”

“And in the process, people have died, people have been killed. There are those who have been maimed and injured. Myself, speaking as a victim, and there have been neighborhoods and businesses and properties burned and occupied during this long decade.”
Ngo then blasted the way police and politicians have turned a blind eye to Antifa’s violence in Portland—calling it “some sick Groundhog Day film that’s playing out.”

“It’s the same as five years ago, as six years ago, seven years ago when I was beaten and assaulted.”

“Journalists then and now have been beaten and assaulted, sometimes within the view of law enforcement.”

“You mentioned my colleague Katie Daviscourt. She was just beaten two days ago on the head with somebody who used a flagpole.”

“And she flagged down an officer with the Portland Police because this happened on city property outside the ICE facility. And he went up to the person and just let that person walk away and escape.”

“And now the Portland Police have put out a tweet asking the public to identify this person whose face is mostly covered.”
Closing the segment on Newsmax, Andy Ngo revealed that not only did he have to flee his home city of Portland because of death threats from radical left-wing terrorists...he had to leave the United States altogether.

“Well, I’m from Portland, Oregon originally, but I had to relocate not just outside of my home city, but outside of the U.S. altogether because of death threats against me.”

“Dozens of reports made to the Portland Police over the years, not leading to a single conviction.”

“So I do my reporting remotely because being on the ground, there are people there who would want to kill me and regularly threaten to do so.”

Russell Vought's sadistic threat to kill projects in blue states will blow back on GOP. One getting defunded is reportedly a huge hydrogen project in northwest that would also serve Montana. Its GOP governor has hailed it as a big job creator.

New piece:
newrepublic.com/article/201286…
In upstate New York, vulnerable House GOPer Mike Lawler defended Trump by claiming, Hey, these cuts will hurt my district, too! He didn't realize he was admitting that Russ Vought's cuts will hurt Trump voters as well.

(h/t @atrupar)

@atrupar One project that Russ Vought's cuts are reportedly targeting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. Turns out this project spans Oregon, Washington State, and MONTANA. The GOP governor of Montana has hailed it for creating "good paying Montana jobs."

As promised, they globalized the intifada again today, this time in Manchester on Yom Kippur, and life for Jews in the UK will never be the same. It might even be the beginning of Jewish life in the UK. It is a black day.(1/9) Image
For decades, British Jews have lived under the threat of Jihadi terror, the vast bulk of the nearly 50,000 UK residents on terror watchlists are Jew-hating Jihadis. For every six Jews, the UK has one suspected Jew-hating terrorist. (2/9) Image
Jewish organizations beg the police and the CPS to pursue cases against people openly inciting hate against Jews, but the police refuse even the most blatant cases.

The Jewish community knows why: There are certain groups the authorities are appeasing at their expense. (3/9) Image

Trump's CEA is circulating its estimate of the economic cost of the government shutdown.

But, BREAKING: It's wrong. It makes a simple arithmetic error. And it's dishonest.

Surprising, I know. 🧵 Image
First, arithmetic.

A weeklong shutdown will reduce *annualized* growth in Q4 by 0.2 %-points. So that's 0.05 %-points of actual quarterly growth. And GDP in a quarter is $30 trillion/4 = $7.5T.

So the "cost" is 0.05% x $7.5 trillion = $3.75b

NOT the $15 billion CEA claim
Point is, CEA overstated the "cost" of a government shutdown by a factor of 4.

The whiz kids at CEA forgot the difference between an annualized rate of growth (what would happen to GDP if this continued all year?), and quarterly growth (what actually happened this quarter?)

🚨 Update from GHF:

This week, four mortars were fired at our Khan Younis location, striking in and around the site. Thankfully, no local aid workers or civilians were harmed, and we continued to deliver thousands of meals to the people of Gaza that day.

We sadly had to cancel our Women’s Only distribution on October 1 to protect women and children from potential further threats.
We have evidence that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are responsible for these attacks.

While we continue our investigations, it is clear that this attack was a deliberate attempt to disrupt our humanitarian mission, harm our humanitarian staff and aid seekers, and smear GHF’s humanitarian mission—all while undermining the people of Gaza’s access to free and effective aid.Image
Image
GHF remains committed to protecting the people of Gaza and delivering urgently needed aid.

We will continue monitoring for and warning of credible threats from Hamas and other hostile groups that threaten our American staff, Palestinian aid workers, and the civilians who depend on our sites for food.

mars is in scorpio, where malicious gossip, slander, or verbal witchcraft is at an all time high—

here is the spiritual meaning of tongue sours 👅🧵
a ‘tongue sore’ is a spiritual manifestation related to work or gossip.

it can mean you are either the subject of malicious talk or that you have been spreading it urself. 

it can manifest as a "spiritual burn" on the tongue, signaling the misuse of one's words.
to find the source of the tongue sore:

- left side (feminine): emotional gossip, intuition, female relationships, repressed feelings, mother, sibling.

- right side (masculine): public gossip, action, male relationships, work/community rumors.

This talk hits hard.
It’s relevant, It’s prescient, and It makes you uncomfortable in the best way for people that care about growth.

Let it challenge you.
Vance is talking about how to interact with ideas we disagree with by understanding them before dismissing them. This requires mutual respect in an interaction. This process of working to understand is called “Steel Manning.”
As an example, he brings forth the idea that he believes bitcoin is a better investment than ag land. He says young people should “park real money in bitcoin and wait for the land to be able to be purchased by it.”

The biggest risks to equities are building under the surface on a structural basis

The current liquidity flows are sowing the seeds for the future crash, which is why understanding positioning and HOW HIGH macro flows can push us is CRITICAL

Here is a full breakdown 🧵👇 Image
The regime is clearly characterized by expanding growth, procyclical monetary policy AND fiscal policy.

What does this mean? It means we have every major line item and element in both the economy and market pushing capital out the risk curve which means equities MUCH HIGHER

Notice that credit spreads are at cycle lows while there are a lot more upgrades than downgrades in credit ratingsImage
Image
Notice that net outlays from the government is increasing while the Fed is suppressing short end real rates: Image
