“We need the President of the United States to speak to the issue and say this is wrong. What is happening on college campuses right now is wrong, it is unAmerican, and it is not who we are. The president seems unable or unwilling to do that.” – @SpeakerJohnson pic.twitter.com/PS0lTEIfkN

Surprise, surprise. The Woke Right and the Woke Left came together to abandon the Jews on the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Glad ya’ll found some common ground in hating us. Thanks for revealing your true selves once again. pic.twitter.com/2HeVNz5Diz

Yesterday afternoon, Speaker Mike Johnson ominously declared that US campus protesters were “calling for the extermination” of all Jews, and their “violent” political speech was “literally” imported straight from Nazi Germany.

This is the official definition of antisemitism that Congress will vote to codify into law today, and then use it to prosecute Americans for “hate speech.” It’s extensive on purpose.

I’m proud that my bill, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, just passed the House of Representatives 320 to 91. This bill has broad, bipartisan support and will begin the process of cracking down on the antisemitism we’ve seen run rampant on college campuses across America. pic.twitter.com/1Dik83m5d0

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) seethes that “Little Gazas” have risen up on campuses across America; he declares the political speech of protesters to be “violent” and “illegal.” For this analogy to hold, wouldn’t the colleges have to be pulverized into rubble with US-supplied munitions? pic.twitter.com/XvZZPMEtFY

I’m going to paint some broad strokes here for the people who still don’t get it.

1) AIPAC massively funds American politicians – especially at the federal level. 97% of their endorsed candidates on both sides win. These politicians publicly state their allegiance and…

???? It’s actually wild how many things people are willing to give up all because they’re afraid of being labelled an antisemite.

TikTok.

Protests.

Free Speech.

Their Christian beliefs.

If you are outraged at the Antisemitism Bill, please look into what else is being implemented.

This is a “Whole of Society” psychological program.

A few thoughts on this …

It is another one of those days when I have to rush out the door.

• In case it wasn’t already clear, House Speaker Mike Johnson works for AIPAC, as do the majority of House Republicans who have done little else with power except pass performative anti-Semitism resolutions, ban TikTok and shovel nearly $100 billion dollars to Israel and Ukraine. I lost count of how many of these resolutions passed the House after October 7th. I covered them last year. It is all in the archives. Unlike previous resolutions, this one has real teeth.
• The intent of the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act” is to crush criticism of the Israeli government on college campuses. It applies to universities. It is an effort to go after groups like Jewish Voice for Peace which have been protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The liberal establishment passed the ban on TikTok last month to silence criticism of Israel on social media.
• In both cases, these draconian efforts to crush free speech are a sign of weakness and were motivated by the existential threat posed to Israel by American public opinion. Younger Americans on the Left and the Right have soured on Israel. The genocide in Gaza has accelerated this erosion of support. Even young White evangelicals do not care about Israel.
• Bibi Netanyahu ordered his puppets in Congress and the mainstream media to pass this by comparing the pro-Palestinian protesters to Nazis.
• The TikTok Ban, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and the police crackdown on college students are all part of a crackdown on the young activist Left by the liberal establishment. The same useful idiots who toppled the Silent Sam statue at UNC, who rioted with BLM over George Floyd and who fought with the Alt-Right for years over FREEZE PEACH are now being crushed by their liberal masters. These people were dumb to enough to believe they were holding the whip.
• Generally speaking, these people earnestly believe in human rights. They have been indoctrinated to believe that ethnonationalism is evil. They just don’t understand why Israelis can starve Palestinians to death or Iynch Palestinians or carpet bomb children. Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire and committed suicide because he earnestly believed that Israel is a genocidal settler-colonialist project. Again, these people don’t understand why Israel is exempt from their moral beliefs. They have f***ed around and now they are finding out who wields real power in this country.
• These people are supposed to stay in their lane and protest the patriarchy or capitalism or “white supremacy.” They are supposed to be used as a Golem against Trump supporters. The liberal establishment is currently very angry with them for not playing their role.
• This is not a conspiracy by George Soros. This is actually just a train wreck.
• This bill is designed to crush the leftist college protesters who are being body slammed on campus at places like Washington University in St. Louis. It is not going to effect you.
• It has sparked a huge backlash on both the online Right and online Left and will accelerate the delegitimization of Israel. In that sense, it is a good thing.
• I doubt it will hold up in federal court.
• Over 1,700 pro-Palestinian protesters have been arrested on college campuses which dwarfs the crackdown on us in the Trump years. The activist Left is being crushed by liberals. It turns out that Joe Biden, the Democrats, Bibi Netanyahu and Jonathan Greenblatt were willing to go full “Fascist USA” on them for going off script. No doubt this is a shocking turn of events for them.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson has plummeted in popularity with Republican voters and now only represents the older Reaganite crowd.
• 21 House Republicans including Massie, MTG, Boebert and Gaetz voted against it. 187 House Republicans voted for yes. MTG and Boebert voted against both Israel aid and the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. Once again, the problem is that we are underrepresented in Congress, and older voters who get their news from FOX News, Mark Levin and their Dispensationalist pastor are overrepresented.
• Instead of getting angry and blackpilled, we should elect more Woke Right types to the House like MTG. Let these other useless failures like Mike Johnson and Tom Cotton find someone else to vote for them. Reward politicians who advance our interests. Punish those who do not.
