'The absurdity'

'Unlawful and extremely dangerous'

'Herrera Garcia and Parra Paredes have been brought to justice for this heinous crime'

This was some absolutely brilliant trolling

'He was right, except for one'

'But I worked there, I did surgery there, I knew categorically this was untrue'

'Complete embarrassment'

Thousands gathered around the White House Saturday to demand that President Joe Biden stop all military aid to Israel amid its war against the terrorist group Hamas. The “Shut it Down for Palestine” movement, comprised of controversial groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, organized the giant rally against Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza.  Several organizations in the movement previously praised the Oct. 7 attack in which Hamas killed around 1,200 Israelis, raped women, and took hundreds of hostages. SJP, for example, referred to the terror onslaught as “a historic win” days after the news broke.  Saturday’s gathering proved a striking display of unity between Muslim, Marxist, LGBTQ, and even Jewish activists. Many organizers and demonstrators made it clear that they were not just demanding a “cease-fire” between Israel and Hamas. “Resistance” against the Jewish state–and fierce anti-American sentiment–were the overall themes. Here’s what I saw:  Support for Terrorism A group of masked individuals carried a sign calling for “jihad”—an Islamic term for holy war cited by those who believe God commands them to kill unbelievers—and “Al Qassam,” a reference to Hamas’ military unit.  Near the White House lawn, a group of people in head scarves hold a sign calling for "jihad" and "martyrdom" and referencing Al Qassam, the military unit of Hamas. pic.twitter.com/w3YtKv6qzk— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 A man walking by told the protesters to be careful about their “messaging,” to which one replied, “shut up.”  At least two others wore green Hamas headbands, one carrying a megaphone with a sticker on it that read, “I voted.” They frequently stuck together and led groups of people in pro-Palestinian chants.  At least two protesters are wearing Hamas-style green headbands. pic.twitter.com/JwNyCUzseW— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Another protester, an elderly man, attracted lots of attention by carrying a “stand with Hamas” sign. The Daily Signal talked to him to see whether he was serious. A man who identified himself as Mike smiled as I photographed him holding this sign. When I asked him about his stance, he said "resistance" is "the only way forward" against the "Jewish-supremacist state of Israel." He denied that Hamas wants genocide against Jews. pic.twitter.com/yAHg6KwtvQ— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 His smile quickly faded as he declared that Palestinians are enduring “genocide” and must beat Israel “by any means necessary.” The Daily Signal asked what he thought about the genocidal elements of Hamas’s founding charter, which describes a “Day of Judgment” when Muslims will kill every Jew. Hamas is only “resisting genocide,” he said, his voice quivering and his body shaking with rage.  “Got that?” he asked sharply.  More than a few fringe actors explicitly praised terrorists at the event, however. A leader with the Black Alliance for Peace said during his speech, "Oct. 7 was the beginning of the end of the genocide," prompting a round of applause and cheers. It's safe to say this is a pro-Hamas rally. pic.twitter.com/SysIiGK8cm— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Protesters celebrated other violent anti-Israel groups, in addition to Hamas. A young person at the protest told me he is selling T-shirts of Leila Khaled, calling her an "O.G." for the "Palestine freedom fight." Khaled is a member of the designated terrorist group known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and she helped hijack planes. pic.twitter.com/5P1iQxoSJc— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 A few demonstrators made explicit attempts to distance themselves from antisemitism. Some signs claimed that “antizionism [is not] antisemitism” or that supporting the Palestinians “doesn’t make you anti-Jew.” Still, pushback against the more radical protesters proved scarce. Vandalism The small police presence failed to stop protesters as they spray-painted historic monuments and property surrounding the White House. To date, no arrests have been reported. The U.S. Capitol Police referred The Daily Signal to U.S. Park Police for comment, and the Park Police did not immediately respond when asked about arrests. Monuments in front of the White House are being vandalized — the second time anti-Israel demonstrators have done this in recent memory. pic.twitter.com/6JbPndiHx1— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Protesters also left graffiti on a truck parked on a nearby curb and at least one park bench. America Portrayed as an Enemy Activists presented the U.S. as a force for evil due to its stance on Israel. "Death to AmeriKKKa" written on a monument in front of the White House. pic.twitter.com/6KROzNxSIW— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Calls for an End to Israel Demonstrators strongly condemned “Zionism,” the view that Jews have a right to their own state in the current land of Israel. Speakers onstage told their allies to help “smash” or “abolish Zionism.” One man scrawled “death to Israel” on a monument.  A protester writes "death to Israel" on the monument to Marquis de Lafayette, a Revolutionary War figure. pic.twitter.com/wgTvamUcqx— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Agitators wrote, “Al Qassam, you make us proud[.] Kill another soldier now!” on another monument. After a protester wrote “all Zionists are bastards” on the nearby Treasury Department building, a woman remarked, “that’s factual!” Marxist Ideology Protesters advocated for socialism, signaled support for the brutal Cuban Revolution leader Che Guevara, and offered copies of “The Communist Manifesto” and other Marxist writings to passersby. Protesters held signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a communist political party founded in 2004.  Protesters advertise communism and denounce "AmeriKKKa" in front of a historic U.S. war monument. pic.twitter.com/n5UyrjHCT3— Hudson Crozier ??

(@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Another activist holds a sign praising Che Guevara, who led the bloody regime of the late communist dictator Fidel Castro. Others fly the Cuban flag alongside the Palestinian flag or display the Soviet hammer and sickle symbol. pic.twitter.com/TeEvCEGCsi— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 “F— Joe Biden” The crowds painted President Joe Biden as a mass murderer of Palestinians in tandem with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Some held giant posters showing the heads of the two leaders with blood dripping from their mouths. Others held a small severed head of the president.  Protesters occasionally chanted, “F— Joe Biden!” LGBTQ Allies Several protesters carried signs or flags promoting gay and transgender rights as they rallied for Gaza, where male homosexual activity is illegal. The LGBT movement also made a strong showing today alongside Marxist and pro-Hamas groups. pic.twitter.com/tcIEq7fQbW— Hudson Crozier ?? (@L0neStarTrooper) June 8, 2024 Jewish Support A few people presenting themselves as Jewish joined with pro-Palestinian protesters at Washington, D.C.’s Farragut Square shortly before heading to the White House event. A young man wearing a yarmulke also walked around White House protesters with a sign that read, “Israel uses me as a human shield.” One Angry Israel Supporter The number of demonstrators significantly dwindled after around four and a half hours. At that time, a young man began kicking their signs off of the grass surrounding a monument, cursing them out, and flipping them off. “I stand with Israel!” he yelled. Another man followed the agitator as he walked away, filming him on his phone and asking repeatedly, “Do you support genocide?”  The counter-protester declined an interview.  The post 9 Things I Saw at the Pro-Hamas White House Rally appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The FBI revoked the security clearance of an employee after asking colleagues questions–under threat of discipline–about his support for former President Donald Trump and views on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a complaint to the Justice Department’s internal watchdog.  The employee attended the rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington before it turned into a riot, and reported his presence to the FBI the next day, according to the whistleblower advocacy group Empower Oversight, which issued a complaint to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on June 8, in a letter made public Monday night with the client’s name blacked out. The complaint comes on the heels of the FBI reinstating the security clearance of whistleblower Marcus Allen, a former FBI staff operations specialist, after allegations of politicized retaliation.  The 12-year employee also volunteered to an FBI polygraph, in which the Office of Inspector General found “no deception” when he said he did not enter the Capitol or a restricted area.  In March 2022, then-FBI Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Leigh Moore suspended the employee’s security clearance, and made an indefinite suspension without pay. The employee then made confidentiality protected disclosures to the House Judiciary Committee that alleged politicization of the security clearance process.  “The FBI Security Division (“SecD”) improperly pursued a broad, sweeping investigation into our client’s political opinions, questioning other protected First Amendment activity and Second Amendment advocacy while off-duty,” Empowerment Oversight President Tristan Leavitt said in the cover letter of the complaint to Horowitiz, the inspector general.  Empower Oversight obtained the investigative files from the FBI. Leavitt said the “shocking documents” demonstrate the FBI Security Division’s “political bias and abuse of the security clearance process to purge the FBI of employees who expressed disfavored political views or concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.” The FBI sent the former employee’s colleagues a questionnaire, asking such questions as whether the employee did “Vocalize support for President Trump,” “Vocalize objection to Covid-19 vaccination,” and “Vocalize intent to attend 01/06/2021.” Empower-Oversight-Whistleblower-ComplaintDownload “Instead of limiting its investigation to legitimate issues, SecD [the FBI’s Security Division] acted as if support for President Trump, objecting to COVID-19 vaccinations, or lawfully attending a protest was the equivalent of being a member of Al Qaeda or the Chinese Communist Party,” the Empower Oversight complaint to the inspector general says. “The FBl’s intentions are made clear by the questions it chose to put in black and white on a government document.”   Whistleblowers and former FBI agents have come forward with stories about the FBI focusing on pro-life protesters, developing a “threat tag” to monitor parents who spoke up at school board meetings, and relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left organization that brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups,” putting them on a map with the Ku Klux Klan. The FBI’s Richmond office cited the SPLC in targeting “radical traditional Catholics” for surveillance in a memo last January, before the national office officially rescinded the memo. The Justice Department took a briefing with the SPLC when it released a “hate” report in 2023. According to documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, FBI agents worked about 16,000 more hours during the pay period after the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, than they did during the pay period of the 2020 riots in Washington, D.C. The Daily Signal has reached out to the FBI for comment and will update this story accordingly. New whistleblower documents show the FBI is every bit the politicized secret police force you feared it was. pic.twitter.com/hFEUvjrNSL— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 11, 2024 The post FBI Suspends Employee’s Clearance After Probing Trump Support, COVID-19 Views appeared first on The Daily Signal.
