The speech I just delivered at @HolocaustUK’s event.
Important #WeRemember and learn from the mistakes of the past, huge thanks to everyone who continues to spread this message.
#BeLouder against antisemitism.
#EnoughIsEnough 🙏❤️ #HMD2019
My speech is dedicated with love to all the victims and survivors of the Holocaust, and all the modern-day backchannel mensches. You know who you are ❤️
After I gave my speech on Tuesday for @HolocaustUK, Auschwitz survivor, Lily Ebert, came up to me shocked by what she’d heard, and immediately asked - what could she do to help? Lily is almost 90 years old, she’d given 3 talks that day, reliving her heartbreaking stories of what
Happened to her family, and herself in the Holocaust, and had a similar itinerary for the rest of the week.
A group of us told Lily, with a hug, that she’s doing enough, we’ll take it from here.
For every person speaking out against antisemitism, you’re also doing it for Lily.
Antisemitism is real, it’s not a toy to be messed with, or something to be taken lightly. It affects many people, every day of their lives.

Here’s Lily’s story.

#BeLouder 🙏❤️🕯

On the 74th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, #HMD2019 I want to thank someone who’s helped me so much in being able to understand and speak out against antisemitism, and he won’t even know it...
In September, I listened to a call from an Arab Muslim, @JassemTamim, in to @MaajidNawaz on LBC, and Jassem described the fear in the Jewish community he’d noticed on a couple of specific occasions, that he’d witness himself as a cabbie driving around London
Jassem talked about the online antisemitism course that he’d taken, that helped him understand the problem, and I decided to have a look.

It’s been the single most useful resource in working out what on Earth is going on and why.

Loads of short, easily digestable video clips.

Another typical case study of the vile antisemite supporters @jeremycorbyn’s Labour has enticed. A tale of two Corbynistas, not created equal.

Charles Harding, @UKLabour member since 2015 posted the challenge of showing him examples of AS in Labour, with the usual ”AZ is not AS”
Same generation Labour member @Steve_Cooke took up his challenge, by showing him plenty of antisemitism in @UKLabour, from none other than Charles Harding himself.

NB you may know of Steve from when he turned whistler-blower on his own CLP over AS.
Steve used to be a member of Labour against the Witch-hunt. An org defending @UKLabour members accused of AS, no matter how vile or blatant it was. Steve soon realised that compared to political smears he’d seen before, this was no witch-hunt & was appalled by the AS he saw.

A VERY long thread on the scale of deception, lies and intimidation I’ve had since speaking out about #LabourAntisemitism, and the lows those seeking to hide it will stoop to.

Since exposing evidence of AS, the attempts to smear me & others have become more and more elaborate.
A frequent lie spread about me, is that I’ve been bullying/encouraging the bullying of a 16 yr old girl.

I’ve posted my entire interaction with her, defending myself politely against claims I’m lying, with evidence to the contrary of antisemitism in Labour.

Proveably untrue.
I last spoke to her in December, following which she posted that she’d blocked me, at which point I wouldn’t have been able to contact her even if I wanted to, which I didn’t.

Since January however, her father @TonyLelliott1 has perpetuated the lies and encouraged the narrative.

Born & raised in #Fanar #Lebanon, a tiny country in the middle east with a lot to offer. I always had a positive outlook on life maybe because of the culture or values🤷‍♀️.
If you don't know #Lebanon or a #lebanese then you should start mingling 🤣

I grew up surrounded by a loving, joking & tough type of family that always support each other even amidst fighting. You can imaging being 4 kids in different age groups can cause a lot of fights growing up 😂 #siblingsfight #family #VoicesIWS
@IWS_Network
I have my issues🤷‍♀️! I always wanted to prove myself & make my family proud(2nd child). A pressure that was just in my head; they were always proud of us. I wanted to grow up to be a doctor or an army officer like my dad. Let's just say I changed my mind! #VoicesIWS @IWS_Network

The Ambassador's Brief

Weekly Geopolitical Brief

Three stories:

China kidnaps Canadians: After Canada arrested Huawei’s CFO for extradition to the US, China retaliated by arresting two Canadians & pressuring Canada to drop the case. Canada stood firm: Meng is now on C$10m bail and faces court Feb 6th
.@globeandmail argued that by “kidnapping two Canadians, the hard men of Beijing have shown their true faces.” As a result, Canada “is being forced to wise up about the nature of… China” and reset the relationship based on what China is, not what Canada wants it to be.
A bad week for Theresa May: She postponed a scheduled parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal as she lacked the votes, and faced a leadership challenge. She survived, but conceded that she won’t lead her party to its next general election, which she claims will be in 2022.

My latest Medium Post:

Crypto Shenanigans™️: A New Framework for Analyzing Scams

Below is a tweetstorm summary, but please check out the post and let me know what you think!

medium.com/@CantHardyWait…
1/ Words matter, & some words are so distorted from their original intent that they lack any meaning whatsoever.

In politics, it's "Fake News"

In Crypto, it's "Scam"

Let's look at why words matter, what "scam" even means, & a new framework to analyze these acts.
2/ Why do words matter?

Reputation 🗣️ and Asymmetry 📈📉.

Reputation:

A "scam" gets perpetrated by a "scammer"

When someone is associated with a scam, they suffer reputational harm.

In the Internet age, reputation may be our most valuable resource

Since my rant the other day, I've noticed at least three new ads/posts/articles about the new edition of "Vampire: The Masquerade" (better called Edgelord: The Triggering based on my reading of the material)...

PLUS a solicitation/press release from @Modiphius
So I've got to repeat myself: Has anyone involved with this "new edition" of Vampire: The Masquerade apologized for the horrifically offensive content put in solely to be offensive? And has that content been removed from the game?
Because I'd like to know if more effort was put into the skills system and Discipline balance than was put into rules systems that force player characters to commit sexual assault.

My previous rant, if necessary for referral:

OK MY NON-SEX WORK FRIENDS LISTEN UP

I'm gonna tell you the story of how Backpage helped keep me safe during one of the scariest most dangerous times of my entire life
Trigger warning ahead for homelessness, abuse, drug use, coerced sex work, rape, cops being assholes, uh probably a whole bunch of other stuff.
I became homeless in March of 2016 when I abandoned my home, marriage, job, my entire life, because I was manic and I was under the spell of an extremely skilled and charismatic abusive piece of shit I refer to as "Barn Cat."
