🔥 WATCH. READ! BREAKING! 1/In a game of “Springfieldopoly,” George Ten, aka “King George,” built a $180M empire ferrying Haitian workers to Ohio, and now Feds and the State AG expand their trafficking probe into alleged identity theft and tax fraud. 1🧵 jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

2/Springfield’s city planner and chamber of commerce president were warned as far back as 2019 that King George was allegedly trafficking workers to Ohio. George invited me into his offices, where he takes “orders” on workers in a “Monopoly Room.” Read…jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

On Troy Road, I asked Jean André, a Haitian American pastor, about First Diversity, funneling Haitians to Ohio. He said: “It is really a shame to see how they treat people as paid slavery. This is what I call it.” He added: “They are in hell while living on earth.” @1in5advocacy @Debra_Tisler @Chitra_Ragavan

🚨 EXCLUSIVE. MUST WATCH. MUST READ. My newest dispatch @JewishJournal @DPearlProject will blow your mind. It did mine. And reporting it breaks my heart but I persevere because this story is every city’s story of corruption, greed and power.

I came to Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday, and in 72 hours, I figured it out: The story in Springfield is not about cats or dogs. It's about mules and an alleged human trafficking operation, by a man called "King George," shuttling Haitian workers to Ohio in unmarked white Chevy and Ford vans since 2019.

The FBI and Ohio Attorney General @DaveYostOH are investigating whistleblower complaints filed against George Ten, or
"King George," the man behind the surge of Haitian migrant workers to Ohio and purchase of 43 homes, mostly decrepit, where he had the workers pay him rent. All in the shadow of the new @johnlegend theater on S. Limestone Street.

Read my new column and this thread to see the story come to life:

It’s a story on the age-old themes of power, greed and corruption. Read 🧵 how the king lives compared to the migrants.

Thank you @LailaMickelwait @1in5advocacy @orlipeter for your intellect and advocacy for the disenfranchised.

FYI @JonHusted @jcarrsmyth @ChuckCallesto @mcuban @LizMacDonaldFOX @meiselasb @maddowjewishjournal.com/cammentary/opi…

I reached Miguel Ten, dad of "King George" Ten, kingpin of the alleged trafficking. He gave First Diversity to his son to run and told me: "I raised my son as a Christian, and maybe he could do stuff that people don’t like, but that he would never do.”

❌ “King George" Ten and other slum landlords have Haitian immigrants pay to live in squalor in Springfield, in the shadow of @johnlegend Theater. See his $1.35M mansion in next tweet. A whistleblower inspected a "home" he rents to Haitians and said, "It has to be condemned." That's what the X on the home means.

🚨@FairfaxTimes. @FCPSNews suspended a @LangleyHS student who drew a swastika flag as part of anti-Israel protests AND get this: ALSO SUSPENDED an Asian American teen who allegedly blew the whistle on the anti-Jew hate. Jewish parents plan protest Friday.
fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairf…

EXCLUSIVE at @FairfaxTimes.

The controversy over swastikas at one of America’s top high schools, just down the road from CIA headquarters, brings the contentious global battle over Israel and Palestine from college campuses and the streets into America’s K-12 school system. The Fairfax County walkouts have been led by Muslim Students Association. which are virulently anti-Israel and many allege anti-Jew.

The Langley High School march included the chant: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which @ADL says is anti-Jew hate calling for the destruction of Jews in the state of Israel, along with the elimination of Israel.

Parents say this latest controversy reveals another failure by @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt Michelle Reid and her board of 12 members, including @AbrarOmeish, who refused to vote for a resolution expressing sympathy for the victims of the Hamas terror attack.

Local Jewish community members and their allies plan a rally tomorrow -- Friday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. -- at Fairfax County Public Schools’ Gatehouse headquarters, which they have renamed “Hatehouse,” to protest the retaliation against the Asian American teen and the lack of school district action on anti-Jew hate.

Here is the photo of the @langleyhs teen who drew the swastika flag and his friend who gave it a thumbs up. The two boys were suspended for three days.

@StopAntisemites posted the photo on Saturday, leading to a witch hunt that ended with a third boy -- an Asian American teen and ally of Jewish kids at Langley -- ALSO GETTING SUSPENDED for three days.

Parents are outraged. It's part of a growing anti-Jew hate in the local schools.

At nearby Woodson High School, Jewish senior, Yakov Schwartz, 18, led a group of half a dozen students, carrying two small Israeli flags, to the football field, where about 250 students organized by the Muslim Students Association rallied against Israel. At one point, students tried to grab his flag, and a mass of anti-Israel students rushed the field to hover menacingly over the Jewish students.

Schwartz said the decision by the Langley administrators to punish the alleged whistleblower follows a pattern and practice of retaliation school district officials mete out against Jewish students and their allies when they raise issues about anti-semitism.

“Fairfax County Public Schools doesn’t truly care about making schools safe for every student,” he said.

“The student who drew the swastika flag not only threatened Jewish students but he also defaced the flag of his country. It’s a disgrace to our flag, our country, and its people,” said Schwartz, who now carries extra Jewish prayer caps, or kippahs, in his backpack to give to friends to wear as an expression of support for Jewish students, especially younger ones still finding their way at the school.

@JasonMiyaresVA @GlennYoungkin @WinsomeSears have made fighting anti-Jew hate a priority in his campaign. Will they be able to protect this Asian American teen, interrogated by school administrators and his phone searched for evidence to use against him -- all without his parents present, according to people familiar with the situation.

Students have posted countless photos and videos from anti-Israel rallies over the past month but Fairfax County Public Schools used this line in the Students Rights and Responsibilities to single out, intimidate and suspend the Asian American @langleyhs student for allegedly raising the alarm about the swastika flag photo: “Digital Citizenship and Security…Students are prohibited from posting information if it violates the privacy of others, jeopardizes the health and/or safety of students, is obscene or libelous, intended to be threatening, bullying or hateful in nature, or causes disruption of school activities.”

🧵 Remember this day. Nov. 4, 2023. 5:41 PM. The Woke Army is at the White House. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they bellowed in the war chant that means only one thing: the annihilation of Jews in the state of Israel.

I stood with my back pinned against the black steel fence between the crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue and the White House, as the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas crowd chanted, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” Allah is great.

They shouted the shahada, the Muslim proclamation of faith, too. The call to prayer for the maghrib sunset prayer broke through the chants. And the crowd held signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation. They shouted for the intifada. And trashed the White House lawn with water bottles and posters thrown over the fence. They painted the pillars to the security gates with red paint of “blood” hand prints.

There is a bloodlust for Israel and Jews. It made my eyes widen, my stomach sick and my heart pulse. It’s staged political theater, socialists bussed in from New York and Muslims ascending from mosques.

We Muslim reformers and ex-Muslims @DrZuhdiJasser @Ayaan @YasMohammedxx @Raheelraza @TheMuslimReform @CLARITyCoaltion tried a 1,000 times to warn the Democratic Party and liberals they had forged an unholy alliance with Islamists but they did it. Now the crowd has a bloodlust for “Genocide Joe” Biden. I’ll put the snapshots from the day here.

If you had any naïveté that Jews or Israels could negotiate with the revolutionaries in the red-green alliance of leftists and Islamists, I can tell you: no way. The Biden administration will have to surrender Israel and Jews to the Woke Army. That’s the only deal they will accept. There is no negotiation. There was not a single word for the Jews slaughtered by Hamas.

I know this after today: the Hamas terrorist murders did not result in shame; it stoked a blood lust among anti-Israel groups from the Socialists to the Islamists to destroy Israel. There is no middle ground with them.

I wear a uniform covering these anti-Jew, anti-Israel protests: my newspaper print jacket over my @IDF hoodie purchased in the West Bank at a Palestinian second-hand store, my book, #WokeArmy—and my war paint: black eyeliner to protect me from the evil eye.

The Woke Army? They went with red paint to ruin the pillars to the White House security gate to symbolize “blood” on the hands of Biden, signs and water bottles they trashed on the White House lawns, stickers they put on the metal fence “F*ck Fascists Nazi Netanyahu + Genocide Joe”— all for taxpayers to clean up.

Be really clear this is NOT a spontaneous protest — this is an organized campaign of the hundreds of organizations in the Woke Army. They include: @AMPalestine @CAIRNational @codepink @MPower_Change @Dreamdefenders @DemSocialists @pslnational @omarsuleiman504 @NihadAwad @NationalSJP, or Students for Justice in Palestine, which hosts pro- Hamas rallies from @columbia to @harvard and @tulane — 100s with combined budgets of at least $500 million in annual revenues, based on my calculations.

They came with expensive banners and megaphones, sound systems and at least five giant TV screens for the crowd to watch the rally.

I’ve been reporting in DC since I was 18 — it’s been 40 years. I’ve never seen a protest at the White House allowed to fly flags over the White House lawn or allowed to throw water bottle projectiles over the fence. I thanked the @SecretService officers I saw for handling this protest with professionalism. “We protect the First Amendment,” an officer said.

THAT IS AMERICA. And that is why this country is to be loved. No Islamic country forget Gaza would allow such protests of its tyrants, dictators and fake kings.

I take you here into the trenches of the #WokeArmy, as they swarm to the White House after a rally and march. I want to assure you: I was never afraid physically.

What I saw terrified me for this nation because of the entitlement that the Woke Army thinks it has got to ignore terrorism and demand the destruction of a nationstate.

That long black banner they put across the fence? It has the names of the “shaheed,” or martyrs, in the fight to destroy Israel.

🚨 🧵 @OCRegister, I argue: if @GavinNewsom signs a xenophobic anti-Hindu bill he “risks alienating millions of Indian Americans…and worse, endorsing an insidious slander,” based on a hoax at Cisco. Reply politely to urge him to veto the anti-Hindu bill. ocregister.com/2023/09/11/gov…

2/🚨 Breaking: Just right after publication of my @OCRegister op-ed, I received this comment about California Senate Bill 403 from a spokesperson for Gov. @GavinNewsom: “We don’t typically comment on pending legislation. As with all measures that reach the Governor's desk, the bill will be evaluated on its merits.”

🎯 My point exactly. SB403 is problematic—“on its merits”

🎯 @CalChamber @SVCCofficial should be worried about this bill “on its merits” because the bill makes it open season for anybody to sue others for alleged discrimination based on the very vague concept of “inherited social status.”

🎯 The @AAHOA Asian American Hotel Owners Association (with many Indian American members) has raised alarm bells. Democratic State @SenJoshBecker has asked serious questions about the overreach.

🎯 Here is a link to SB403:

🎯 The Governor’s office said the public can “submit comment re a bill by calling the office at
916-445-2841 or using the online webform (select “an active bill" in the dropdown menu after topics and then select the bill number in the next dropdown menu.) The comments are then routed to our legislative unit.”

Go to:

🎯 @GavinNewsomPres set the standard: and SB403 fails—based “on its merits.”

3/@GavinNewsom has a decision to make, I say in my op-ed, also published in @WhittierNews.

The bill — #SB403 — awaits his signature, banning so-called “caste” discrimination against Indian Americans – by fellow Indian Americans.

Today, at the corner of Campus Drive and Mannakee Street, in Montgomery County, Maryland, woke intersectionalism came to die.

See the diversity in the anti-woke intersectional coalition that wants to opt out kids from age-inappropriate sexual content. Watch the white woke activist shimmy for my camera until she’s warned to stop. Then hear the innocent chant of parents and kids from immigrant families.

@howellsuzy Woke intersectionalism is NOT the all-white rainbow umbrella activists lined up here against the minority black and brown immigrant parents from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Take the L.
