FAR RIGHT STRATEGY: Infiltrate; #DivideAndConquer
“I hope that people have followed my nearly decade-long instruction to embed yourselves in black, gay, tranny, and other liberal internet communities. We need to start getting trannies to stand against blacks and visa-versa....”
”Also tell reddit soys to go there and stand with one group or the other.
The more we can jam up the gears of this system, where they have to deal with their own groups going against each other, the less resources they are going to have to hunt us down.”
”The key here is to whip black people up into a frenzy. That is the number one method of jamming the gears.
It is also definitely possible to whip them into a frenzy against immigrants.”
—Andrew Anglin
@deborahlipstadt TRUE! MORE FACTS:
Warnock supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, strongly opposes the BDS movement and conditioning or cutting aid to Israel, and will work to preserve the strong US-Israel partnership and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
@deborahlipstadt In a recent op-ed titled “I Stand with Israel,” Warnock, who is the Senior Pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s church wrote: “I wholeheartedly and unabashedly echo Dr. King’s declaration that ‘Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is incontestable’.”
@deborahlipstadt Warnock stated unequivocally that he does not believe that Israel is an apartheid state and fully supports the Obama-Biden administration’s 2016 Memorandum of Understanding to support Israel’s qualitative military edge.
@TheBluePrintGod@rabbisandra Hi! Just saw this tweet. Wherever you live, there may be a Reconstructionist congregation near you. If not, there’s probably at least a Reform congregation. I would recommend that you check out as many of those as possible.
Have you seen this? reconstructingjudaism.org
@TheBluePrintGod@rabbisandra You probably hear from Orthodox Jews—and fundamentalist Christians—about the merits of THEIR ways. Traditionalist religion tends to be more..proactive—and to reach out “in person”. No doubt many have invited you to services or other events.
Liberal religion isn’t as “proactive”.
@TheBluePrintGod@rabbisandra Maybe because it tends not to think it has the only “right” way, hence it sees less need to proselytize. But liberal Judaism (and other liberal faiths, like the Unitarian Universalist Church and the United Church of Christ, and some forms of Buddhism) are well worth exploring.
@Perrid13@DKThomp To be fair, many—including some of our leaders—have long and repeatedly assumed that “this will all be over soon”. (“Another three months, max.”) Buying tickets weeks or months in advance seemed like a safe bet.
Who’s at fault? We all WANTED things to get back to normal....
@Perrid13@DKThomp And some irresponsibly promoted over-optimistic scenarios. Certain industries (like travel and hospitality), sponsored corporate media, and politicians were complicit.
One-time refunds should be available through vendors, insurance, and/or government disaster relief programs...
@Perrid13@DKThomp ...on the grounds of “national (or international) mass disaster”, “force majeure”, “Acts of God”, or some such.
At least, for tickets already bought based on false assurances of near-future safety.
(BUT, for FUTURE purchases, “non-refundable” should again mean “non-refundable”.)
@chrissyteigen As soon as he leaves office, he can be prosecuted. His intention may be to die while still “president”—which is why he really, really wants “four more years”.
I wouldn’t put it past him to stage an “assassination” (real or fake)—which would let him go out as a “martyr”.
@chrissyteigen WHOA! Right after I posted this, Tw*tt*r froze my account and asked me to confirm that I’m not a bot. For the record:
I wish no physical harm to the current WH occupant. I merely suspect that he might arrange harm to himself, and/or fake his own death, so as to avoid prosecution.
@chrissyteigen In fact, I would strongly advise those closest to him (including @IvankaTrump) to watch for signs of despair or violent intentions (toward self or others) and to arrange for psychiatric treatment, if necessary.
@perpaul17@RicksRant@WayneDupreeShow Some Trump supporters refuse to wear masks or follow social distancing rules because they think it’s all a left wing agenda, against which they must rebel. Without strict enforcement, polling places will be super spreaders. Will all poll workers “believe in” enforcing the rules?
@perpaul17@RicksRant@WayneDupreeShow Or will some poll workers be agendized COVID denialist types? Will they be careless, or even deliberately undermine the rules we will entrust them to enforce? Will some places have flagrantly lax enforcement in attempts to deter the more cautious (Democratic-leaning) voters?
@perpaul17@RicksRant@WayneDupreeShow If in-person voting takes place (an option all voters should have—but not as the only option), it must be conducted according to COVID hygiene guidelines, STRICTLY ENFORCED. Election officials should take election-day reports of malfeasance seriously and act on them promptly.
