[[Image:StarofDavid.gif|right|thumb|The Star of David, a symbol of Judaism]]
'''Judaism''' was one of the first [[monotheistic religions]], dating back to around 2000 BC. Judaism is the first [[Abrahamic faith]], tracing its origins to [[Abraham]], as can the religion of [[Christianity]]. The core of the Judaism as it exists today took shape from a later time period when [[Moses]] led the [[Hebrews]] from [[Egypt]] and climbed [[Mount Sinai]], bringing back the [[Ten Commandments]].

The five books of Moses—the [[Torah]]—in which the [[Mosaic Law]] is found, are generally considered to be the core of the Jewish Scripture, and are supplemented by the works of the prophets and other writings. The works of the prophets are grouped under Nevi'im, and the other writings are known as Ketuvim. The first letters of each part combined were used to create the name of the full Hebrew Bible: the Tanakh, which Christians call the [[Old Testament]]. The [[Talmud]] is another ancient Jewish writing considered by some Jews to contain traditions dating back to Moses himself, yet the Talmud also contains discussion by rabbis involving extensive disagreement and lively discussion, over interpretation of these traditions. The Talmud is not part of the [[Bible]] and the degree to which the Talmud itself is considered to be inspired varies across Judaism, with the [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] generally giving it the most weight. Most Muslims and Christians, including [[Messianic Jews]], however, consider the theological findings and argumentation of the Talmud to be invalid after the advent of the birth of [[Jesus Christ]].

Tikkun Olam—to help "repair the world"—is a Hebrew phrase originated in the early rabbinic period.

==Sabbath==
[[Image:Menora exb HSTR7337.jpg|right|thumb|Yarmulke and Menorah]]
Many Jews observe a weekly day of rest (the [[Sabbath]]) that begins shortly before sundown on Friday and ends after sunset on Saturday. During this time no work may be done, business transactions are forbidden, and light switches are not to be turned on or off. Jews celebrate the Sabbath by lighting candles before the Sabbath, singing songs, going to synagogue, commonly referred to as shul, and learning. This is based on the fourth commandment of the old testament, although the rules have been expanded upon beyond what is commanded.<ref>Exodus 20:8-11</ref>

==Branches within Judaism==
There are many different branches of Judaism. There are five large branches:
*[[Orthodox Judaism]]
*[[Conservative Judaism]]
*[[Reform Judaism]]
*Reconstructionist Judaism
*[[Messianic Judaism]]
There has been much controversy as to whether Messianic Judaism is truly Judaism, or a branch of Christianity which respects and practices Jewish customs. However, Messianic Judaism celebrates traditional Jewish holidays and does not celebrate [[Christmas]] or [[Lent]], as like [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] they believe these holidays to be paganistic in origin. There are also certain theological differences between Messianic Judaism and traditional Christianity.<ref>[http://www.messianicworship.com/html/differences.html FAQ - Messianics and Christians]</ref>

==Ethnicities==
[[File:Remarkable Jews.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Albert Einstein]], [[Maimonides]], [[Golda Meir]] and [[Emma Lazarus]] (American poet born in New York City)]]
*[[Sephardi]] Jews.
*Ethiopian Jews
*Mizrahi (sometimes spelled Mizrachi) Jews.
**Yemenite Jews
*[[Ashkenazi]] Jews.

<blockquote>
The traditional explanation, and the one given in the [[Torah]], is that the Jews are a nation. The Hebrew word, believe it or not, is ''"goy."'' The Torah and the rabbis used this term not in the modern sense meaning a territorial and political entity, but in the ancient sense meaning a group of people with a common history, a common destiny, and a sense that we are all connected to each other.<ref>[http://www.jewfaq.org/judaism.htm What Is Judaism?]</ref>

===The Diaspora===
"Diaspora" (Greek meaning "seeded throughout") is the term used to refer to the various dispersions of the Jews throughout the world through the eras of history. Its Hebrew linguistic forerunner is "Galut" meaning the "uncovering", betraying the understanding that being exiled from the Land of Israel is an exposing of Israel to vulnerability and danger. Some commonly known "Galuyot" (plural for Galut) are:

* the forced exile and assimilation among other peoples of the Northern Tribes of Israel by the Assyrians in 721, 722. Modern Israel has recognized among the in-gathering of this exile (Kibbuts Galuyot) the ''Bnei Menashe'' (Sons of Manessaeh) of northern [[India]]. These members of the "Lost Tribe" are now allowed to freely immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return. ''(see [[Religion in India]])''

* the ''Falashas'' of [[Ethiopia]], among whom, like the Bnei Menashe, Jewish practices such as circumcision at eight days and the keeping of Passover are maintained by those eligible for citizenship under the Israeli Law of Return. The are racially native African in appearance. They believe themselves to have become Jewish from the days of Solomon and the Queen of Ethiopia. That was the basis for the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selase (Holy Trinity) taking the title "Lion of the Tribe of Judah".

* The Galut of Babylon, the so-called "''Iraqis''" exiled by the Babylonians at the time of their conquest of Judah and Jerusalem (c. 538 B.C.) This Galut developed a rival to Palestinian Jewry of the first centuries and provided the second corpus of religious literature to the developing Talmud. This was in the common language of Babyon at the time - Aramaic. This corpus came to be called the Gemara ("completion"). The Gemara dates from about 200 A.D. to 500 A.D. The Gemara and the earlier Palestinian Hebrew corpus, the [[Mishnah|Mishna]], dating from 200 B.C. to 200 A.D. comprise the Talmud, which regulated most of Jewish internal life, until the western European "emancipation" and assimilation of the Jews - starting in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Talmud is still regulatory for Orthodox Jews.

*The Galut of the Jews by the Roman [[Titus]] after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. They were triumphantly displayed in Rome and dispersed in the lands along the Rhine Valley known in the Hebrew tongue as Ashkenaz - which is known now as Germany. There they learned the language of the land which developed into Modern German. The Jews called their language, the early stage of German, Yiddish. From the Rhine, many of the "''Ashkenazis''" moved (were moved) to Eastern Europe, many fleeing from there, to America, to Israel, to Latin America, etc. learning new languages, but also speaking their old language, not Hebrew, but Yiddish. This, with the common religion, enabled the fostering of unity and brotherhood.

*the 1492 A.D. exile from [[Spain]], where the Jews had previously settled in the time of the [[Moors]] and some attaining to high positions and appointments as physicians, prime ministers, and poets under the Islamic conquest. This was the Golden Age of Jewry in Spain. At their expulsion ("gerush") from Spain they settled mainly around the Mediterranean basin - North Africa, Greece, Turkey, and also many going to Holland and from there to the American Colonies. The first synagogue in America was created due to this dispersion. These Jews soon were speaking the language of the their host countries - Arabic, Turkish etc. but also speaking the language of Old Spain. "Spain" in Hebrew is Sefarad, so the language is Sephardic and the dispersion is of the ''Sephardim'' (sometimes spelled Sepharadim).

*the Yemenites (''Temanim''). Yemen means "right (direction)" in Semitic languages. When facing the temple from the west, the "right" points south. Therefore, "Teiman" also means "south". This dispersion is the southerly dispersion to what is now Yemen, gaining momentum during the Himyaritic Kindom in Yemen which had adopted Judaism. With the founding of the Modern State of Israel, most Yemenite Jews have immigrated to Israel and speak Arabic as well as Hebrew.

The term "''Mizrachi''" means "easterner" and it covers a number of eastern dispersions as opposed to the Ashkenazi who were westerners - from Europe. Coming into Israel during Ottoman Turk rule (1517-1917), many immigrating Jewish families who were not European were given the name Mizrahi by the Turkish immigration authorities as they were all "lumped together" as Easterners.

The Return of the Jews to Israel is seen as a fulfillment of the Scriptures and is called Kibbutz Galuyot, the ingathering of the Exiles. Here are some of the scriptures that both tell about the ingathering of the exiles and which have provided a major influence for the some of the dispersions to return to the Land of Israel:

" I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west, To the north I will say 'Give them up', and to the south, 'Do not hold them'. Bring back my sons from far away, my daughters from the end of the earth. Isaiah 43: 5,6

"Those whom Adonai has redeemed return, they come to Zion shouting for joy. everlasting joy in their faces, joy and gladness go with them, sorrow and lament are ended." Isaiah 51:11

"He who has scattered Israel, gathers him, He guards them as a shepherd guards his flock...they shall come back from the enemy country, There is hope for your descendants" Jeremiah 31: 10,16

"The Lord says this: 'I am going to take the sons of Israel from the nations, where they have gone. I shall gather them together from everywhere and bring them home to their own soil. I shall make them into one nation and into My own land and on the mountains of Israel.'" . Exekiel 37:21,22

==Main Holidays==
[[File:People at a Bar Mitzvah in the Western Wall tunnel.jpg|thumb|At a Bar Mitzvah in the Western Wall tunnel.]]
{{Main|Jewish holidays}}

*'''[[Rosh Hashanah]]'''—New Years. Marks the creation of the world.

*'''[[Yom Kippur]]'''—the Day of Atonement. Observant Jews consume no food or drink for the entire day.

*'''[[Pesach]]'''—celebrating the liberation from Egyptian slavery. Observant Jews hold a special festive meal, called a ''Seder,'' on the first and second night of Passover and do not eat leavened bread for the duration of the festival.

*'''Shavuot'''— Pentecost or Feast of Weeks. Traditionally celebrates God's giving the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai.

*'''Sukkot''' —Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. Observant Jews eat and sleep in temporary shelters shaded by cut vegetation.

*'''Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah'''—The day after Sukkot is a separate holiday, known as the "Eighth Day Feast." It also marks the completion of the cycle of reading the Torah in synagogues. The end of Deuteronomy is read, followed by the first chapter of Genesis.

*'''[[Purim]]'''—celebrates the thwarting of a plot to kill all Jews it is recorded in the Book of Esther, which is read aloud in its entirety in the synagogue.

*'''Tisha B'Av'''—also known as the Ninth of Av, 9th of Av, is a fast day that mourns the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.

*'''[[Chanukah]]''' (there are several English spellings)—celebrates the re-dedication of the Temple after the revolt against the Greeks recorded in the Talmud and other non-Biblical texts. Jews light candles each night for eight nights, adding one candle each night. Chanukah is not a holiday recorded in the Bible and is considered a minor holiday from a religious standpoint, however from a secular Jewish perspective it has taken on a position of great prominence in modern times passing all other holidays as far as degree to which it is celebrated.

==Calendar==
The Jewish calendar combines lunar and solar features. During Temple times, months began when the new moon was sighted in Jerusalem. An extra month was added when needed to keep the Pesach festival in the spring. Today a complex algorithm, over a thousand years old, is used to determine when months begin. As a result, the dates of the Jewish holidays in the civil calendar vary from year to year. A day on the Hebrew calendar lasts from one sundown to the next, so for purposes of religious observances a day begins at sundown of the preceding civil day.

==Jewish Scripture==
Jewish Scripture consists of 24 books, broken down into three sections:

*'''[[Torah]]'''—The Five Books of [[Moses]]: [[Genesis]] (Bereshit), [[Exodus]] (Shemot), [[Leviticus]] (Vayikra), [[Numbers]] (Bamidbar) and [[Deuteronomy]] (Devarim).

*'''Nevi'im''' —The Prophets: Joshua (Yehoshua), Judges (Shoftim), Samuel (Shmuel), Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the 12 minor prophets

*'''Ketuvim'''—The Writings: [[Psalms]], Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, [[Esther (Biblical book)|Esther]], [[Daniel (Biblical book)|Daniel]], Ezra, Chronicles.

The Torah is divided into portions that are read during synagogue services over the course of the liturgical year. Jews refer to all 24 scrolls as the ''Tanakh,'' an acronym of the names of the three sections. The Old Testament is the Tanakh, except with some different naming and a different ordering than the Jewish version. Some Jews find the term Old Testament to be offensive, as its meaning can be interpreted to mean the covenant of God with the Jews has been superseded and no longer applies.

==The Twelve Tribes of Israel==
The most famous of the tribes of Israel is Judah. From this tribe came [[King David]] ''“your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever”'' 2 Samuel 7:16, '' Acts 13:34. No matter what tribe you originate from, all are considered Israeli.

[[Jacob]], grandson of [[Abraham]] and son of [[Isaac]], came to be known as the father of Israel, for it is written that God changed his name to Israel.<ref>[http://www.keyway.ca/htm2002/tribeisr.htm The Tribes Of Israel by Wayne Blank] The Church of God Bible Studsy</ref> The descendants of these twelve 'sons' of Jacob became the twelve tribes of Israel.

In Northern Israel [[Gad]], [[Reuben]], [[Simeon]], [[Dan]], [[Naphtali]], [[Asher]], [[Issachar]], [[Zebulun]] and [[Joseph]]. In Southern Israel, the tribes [[Benjamin]] and [[Judah]]. The [[Levi]] were to serve as the priests and their assistance for all tribes having their own levitical cities within the other tribes while having no land as inheritance for themselves.

Each tribe was composed of a group of families, united by blood ties and constituting a social and political unit. As time went on, the stronger tribes tended to absorb the weaker ones.<ref>[http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=762510356&vv=450 Twelve Tribes of Israel] MSN Encarta</ref>
After the death of King Solomon, and in the time of his son, Rehoboam, the twelve tribes divided into two camps. The south was known as [[Judah]] with Jerusalem as their capital, while the ten northern tribes made up the kingdom of Israel whose capital was [[Samaria]]. In 721/2 B.C. , the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and the elite and powerful taken away by the Assyrians (leaving the weak and powerless) and resettled among various client kingdoms of their empire. The Assyrians, in like manner, settled other conquered peoples in various places of conquered Israel in order to dilute and weaken the population causing them to be compliant to the Assyrian overlords. This is how the "Samarians" were to arise, present in the time of Jesus and present to this day - a mixed semi-Judaized population with their religious center on Mt. Gerizim in Samaria rivaling Jerusalem. The northern dispersion came to be called popularly "the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel". But some of the "10 Lost Tribes" were not lost. At the time of Assyrian conquest of Israel, archaeology reveals, the city walls of the capitol city of the Southern Kingdom, Jerusalem, were suddenly and greatly expanded. This is because, it is thought, of the sudden influx to the southern brothers of the fleeing northerners. See also in the Diaspora section above, the Bnei Menashe, and see [https://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/973487.html]

The Southern Kingdom was conquered by Babylonians in 586/7 B.C. with much population taken to Babylon, which was to become a center for Judaism (and the Babylonian Talmud) rivaling Jerusalem itself. Cyrus, Emperor of Persia was to allow the Jews to return to their ancestral homeland, but many Jews preferred to remain in Babylon (most of these "Iraqis" would return to Israel with the erection of the modern State of Israel).

Alexander the Great, 333 B.C. would wrest the Middle East, and "Judah" with it, from the hands of the Persians, and after him, at the breakup of his Empire into Seleucid (northern) and Ptolomaic (southern) parts, the Seleucids took control of the Judah and Galilee (bringing "[[Hellenism]]" - the amalgamation of Greek with local cultures), and the occasion for the revolt of the Jews against Seleucid overlord Antiochus and the beginning of the celebration among the Jews of [[Hanukah]] - the remembrance of the successful revolt, the setting up once again of a Jewish Kingdom in the promised land, and the re-dedication ("Hanukah") of the Temple (which had been desecrated). In 63 A.D., Pompey and the Roman rule would wrest power from the Hellenistic Greeks, and thus the Roman rule in the Land at the time of Jesus. The Kingdom of Judah, with its King Herod, was intended by Rome to be a buffer state between Rome and its hated adversary Kingdom - that of Persia. In this context there arose, another movement, followers of "the way" of Jesus, the forefront of another Kingdom, that was not of this world, the leading servants of which, would sit on the seats of the now ''12 tribes'' of Israel, and knowing themselves, as the "Israel of God".

Note: Among modern Jews, there is no knowledge of descent from any of the particular tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel, except Jews with the family name of Levi or Cohen (and a very few others). "Levi" is from the tribe of Levites and means "accompanier", that is the ones who accompany the priest and offering assistance in the service of the Temple. "Cohen" means priest. With the last great dispersion from the Holy Land, that of 70 AD at the hands of the Romans, with its destruction of "the House" - the Temple of God, the levitical and priestly families, now exiled to Rome and Italy were careful to record and remember their genealogies back to the tribe of Levi, as it would be they who would once again be called to function when God when would make possible the return to the Land of Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple.

==Post Biblical Jewish Development and Literature==
The Jewish [[canon]] of Scripture was defined at the [[Council of Jamnia]] (Yavneh) on the Mediterranean coast of Israel at 90 A.D., about two decades after the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans. Jews now also lived in great numbers outside of the Land of Israel, particularly in Mesopotamia (the Land between the Rivers of the Euphrates and the Tigris), and in Alexandria, Egypt. Mesopotamian Jewry, with its large core from the exile to Babylon continually added to, was mainly Aramaic speaking while Egyptian Jewry was Greek speaking. Aramaic Jewry began the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into [[Aramaic]], this came to be known as the [[Peshitta]] ("simple" or common). This development was accelerated particularly when the queen of [[Adiabene]], Helena (Shlomzion HaMalka), converted with others to Judaism. The Old Testament Peshitta (there is also the New Testament Peshitta as believers in Jesus translated the Greek New Testament into Aramaic) contains influence from the Jewish literature known as the [[Targum]]. Queen Helena was buried in Jerusalem around 70 A.D.

The Alexandrian Jews also translated, even earlier, the Torah into their language, Greek. Later books were added to the Septuagint by anonymous translators. This is known as the Septuagint (translated by 70 or 72 Jewish scholars). The Septuagint was used by Greek speaking Jews and was naturally turned to by the Greek speaking believers in Jesus. Later Jewish scholars retranslated the Bible into Greek, as the Septuagint was seen as having issues in translations of words, these translations were done by Symmachus, Aquilas, and Theodotios, all converts to Judaism. Around the same time of this process, the Rabbinical School at Jamnia (Yavneh) under Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, decided that what was canonical for Judaism was only those books which had already been accepted as Scripture and were found in the Hebrew language. This eliminated most of the Apocrypha which was found mostly in Greek and Latin (but the book of Ecclesiasticus - "Ben Sirach" - has now been found in Hebrew and considered canonical by the Dead Sea community of Jews) as well as elevating the ''Hebrew'' Scriptures over just the Scriptures of Israel no matter in which language. Eventually over time, not only did the Septuagint drop out of Jewish usage, but so did the other Greek translations.

They were replaced by various translations of the Bible into Aramaic, one of the best known of these was the translation by Onkelos, a convert to Judaism, although Jewish scholars still used the Hebrew translation of the Bible, the laity preferred the Aramaic translations because Hebrew became out of use expect for Jewish scholars.

===="Jamnia" and Protestantism====
Though the connection of Jamnia and Protestantism is little known, it is a real one and one that exerted much influence on the developing Protestant Church and its outlook. The Hebrew canon of Scripture with its emphasis on Hebrew language originals sanctioned at Jamnia, which would exclude the Jewish but Greek language books we now know as Intertestamental or Apocryphal, would be the basis of a continuing textual study and amendation according to the passing on of readings and comments by succeeding Jewish authorities, scholars, and rabbis. This work would be carried on through the fifth century, the time of the Masoretes - the "tradition (of Scripture) bearers". The receiving and handing on of how Scripture texts were to be read and sung, and what they meant.

When the [[Renaissance]] took hold in Europe, great interest was shown in the rediscovering both of the Greek classics, entailing the renewed study of Greek for this purpose, and the study of Hebrew language. Here now was the possibility for many scholars, and the emerging Protestant ones among them, to study the Hebrew Scriptures directly in the original language instead of the necessity of working through the Greek ([[Septuagint]]) and Latin ([[Vulgate]]) translations. But the Hebrew source resorted to by these scholars was the [[Masoretic]] text - following the School of Jamnia - without the Apocrypha. From then on, the heritage and perspective of the Protestant Reformation churches was that the Bible excluded the Apocrypha, though some of the churches would use the Apocrypha as "secondary" readings.

===The Talmud===
In Israel, there arose a literature, mainly in the common Hebrew of the day. It is known as the Mishna ("secondary"). This was primarily the recordings of discussions of Biblical laws with view to application to the present life and experience of Jews in Israel and in the [[diaspora]]. Changing conditions required more current applications. The Mishna developed over four centuries (200 B.C. to 200 A.D.) and is divided into 6 orders, numerous tractates, and smaller units (mishnayot). Most of the Mishna is comprised of "''Halakha''"- that is, legal discussions, decisions, having, in many cases, enforceable applications either by the Jewish community directly or by the Roman or otherwise authorities. The non legal aspects of the Mishna - the anecdotes, stories, remembrances of the rabbinic lives, etc. are called ''[[Aggadah]]'' ("the telling").

The Palestinian Hebrew Mishna, having spread to Mesopotamia, came to be regulatory to the Babylonian Jews, and, as the Mishna had become a "commentary" on the Hebrew Bible, so the Babylonian Jews developed a commentary on the Mishna itself. This was called the Gemara ("completion") and is in their own language, [[Aramaic]]. The formation of the Gemara took from 200 A.D. to 500 A.D. The whole Talmud then was a work of 700 years. The Mishna and the Gemara together is called the Talmud ("the Learning"). The Talmud then became regulatory until modern times for Jewish life elsewhere with but a few non-mainstream groups not accepting it.

The process of G-d sanctioned and ordained commentary (the Talmud) on the Scriptures is a legacy of the one movement that survived the first century Roman destruction of the temple and Jewish authority in Israel. The [[Saduccees]] disappeared as did the [[Essenes]] and the Herodians. But not so the [[Pharisees]]. The Pharisees believed that with the written Torah given to Moses on Sinai, there was also an Oral Torah given to him, by which the written was to be interpreted and applied. According to this tradition this Oral Torah was transmitted to others - Joshua, then the seventy, the prophets, and then to certain pairs (Zugot) finally finding its expression through the discussions and decisions embodied in the Talmudic literature. Through this the Jews created over 600 laws that they had to obey. Having a "portable" law and, so to speak, a "constitution" in the Talmud, Jews then were able to survive as Jews when they no longer had a land to live in and define them.

==Dietary laws==
Observant Jews follow a strict and complex set of rules governing what they may eat and drink. Permissible foods are called ''[[kosher]].'' Per Biblical commandments, only animals that chew their cud and have cloven hooves may be eaten and they must be properly slaughtered. Additionally, all birds other than "birds of prey" are kosher, so long as they are properly slaughtered. Anything which comes from the sea must have fins and scales. According to most traditions, dairy products cannot be mixed with meat from animals or birds. Vegetables must be checked for insects, as insects are considered "treyf," meaning not kosher. Additional rules apply during [[Pesach]].

==Life cycle==
Jewish boys are circumcised eight days after birth, in a ceremony called a bris where the circumcision is performed by a specially trained rabbi, termed a moyl. They become adults for religious purposes when they turn 13, an event marked by a ceremony called a [[Bar Mitzvah]]. Similar ceremonies for girls when they turn 12, called [[Bat Mitzvah]], were introduced in the 20th century.

[[Jewish law]] only recognizes marriages between Jews. [[Divorce]] is permitted, but there are exacting rules that must be followed for the divorce to be valid, including the husband presenting a bill of divorce (''Get'') to his wife.

Jewish law requires bodies to be buried promptly, preferably no later than the day after death. [[Cremation]] is not permitted. There are prescribed stages of [[mourning]] for the first year after the death of a close relative (parent, sibling, spouse of child). The anniversary of such a death is observed with gifts to [[charity]] and the recitation of a prayer, ''[[Kaddish]],'' praising God's name.

==Jewish Identity==
Definitions of Jewish identity have changed over the years, and among the various Jewish religious and cultural groupings. Whereas, the Old Testament, stresses the importance of the male side of the family for the most important aspects of cultural decision and prerogatives, thus furthering identity through the Father (male) and his clan, present Orthodox Jewish identity is defined as coming through the mother. If the mother is Jewish, regardless of the father's religion, then the child is Jewish. Reformed Judaism disregards the Orthodox Jewish definition and stresses that Judaism is equally applicable as a religious designation whether through the mother or the father, in line with de-emphasizing the racial, cultural, and genetic background in favor of stressing the ethical content in Judaism. This is in line with Reform Judaism's stress on equality between the sects even in the house of worship. The Orthodox Jewish emphasis on the parentage through the mother as constituting Jewish identity, has brought about paradox and contradiction with Judaism's own sources. Whereas it is clear from Scripture that faith in the revealed will of God and His movement in History is what constituted the people, starting from Abraham, as a People, and then as a Nation and the formation, consequently, of identity, Orthodox Judaism recognizes as Jews those who are atheistic or agnostic, free thinkers, repudiators of all religious, and even those who have become members of other religions. These are considered still Jewish, howbeit, Jews who are not good Jews. The only exception possibly in the Jewish conception of acceptability under the definition of "Jewish" are Jews who have become Christians or members of [[Messianic Judaism]]. Yet, even these, though considered apostate, are considered Halakhically (according to Jewish orthodox religious law) as being Jewish. The modern state of Israel exhibits a contradiction in the question of Jewish identity. Orthodoxy is the accepted form of Judaism, and consequently, a non Jew having converted to Judaism under Reformed Jewish rite or Conservative Jewish rite are not considered Jewish for purposes of becoming citizens of Israel under Israel's Right of Return law. But neither are Messianic Jews eligible (Israeli Supreme Court decision) for citizenship under the Law of Return, even if they be born to a Jewish mother. This is in violation of halakhic definition but is in accord with common Israeli sentiment. What is rapidly being destroyed in the modern state of Israel and which does hearken back to the predominant Biblical definition is the purely racial and cultural categorizing as to who might be considered a Jew. This is because of the immensity and varliagation in the origins of new immigrants to Israel - Ethiopia (Falasha origin), Iraq (6th cent. exile from Jerusalem), Turkey and Greece (1492 expulsion from Spain origin), Argentinia, China, India (both the long known B'nei Israel and the recently emerged B'nei Menasha of the Northern Kingdom dispersion), the former Soviet Union, the United States, Yemen (Himyaritic Kingdom conversion origin), etc.

:''For his achievements as U.S. President, see [[Donald Trump achievements]].''
:''Donald Trump was [[Conservative of the Year]] in [[Conservative of the Year 2017|2017]] and [[Conservative of the Year 2018|2018]].''
'''Donald John Trump''' (b. [[Queens]], [[New York]], on [[Donald Trump's age|June 14, 1946]]), nicknamed "'''The Donald'''," is the 45th [[President of the United States of America]], as a result of winning the [[2016 presidential election]] as the [[Republican Party]] nominee. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and [[television]] personality. A strong [[conservative]], Trump has [[Donald Trump achievements|achieved much during his presidency]] and advanced many conservative priorities. Despite this, he has received more criticism than any U.S. President in history, almost all of which is purely politically motivated.

In the [[United States presidential election, 2020|2020 presidential election]], Trump received a record-smashing 73+ million lawful votes, many in the key [[swing states]]. This confirms him as the leader of the [[Republican Party]], indeed the entire nation, for the foreseeable future.

[[Leftists]] and the [[MSM]] have been gleeful, as if both of them die of the virus, Pelosi would become the next president, since she is 2nd in line to the presidential succession.

==Financial worth & education==
Trump has engaged in many financial pursuits and estimated that his net worth was $10 billion, as of July 2015.<ref>LoGiurato, Brett (July 25, 2015). [https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-net-worth-2015-7 "We finally know a lot more about Donald Trump's 'massive' net worth"]. Business Insider website.</ref> ''Forbes'', however, estimates his net worth is $3.1 billion as of 2019.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/profile/donald-trump/ "The world's most powerful people: #2 Donald Trump"]. (March 6, 2017). Forbes.com website.</ref> He graduated from the New York Military Academy in 1964 and first attended college at [[Fordham University]] for two years before transferring to the more competitive [[University of Pennsylvania]] and completing his undergraduate studies at its Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. In September 2020, the [[New York Times]] reported on Donald Trump engaging in tax avoidance. It was claimed that his tax avoidance dates back to the 1990s.

Early media profiles of Trump claim he graduated "first in his class" from Wharton.<ref>Whitman, Alden (January 28, 1973). [https://www.nytimes.com/1973/01/28/archives/a-builder-looks-backand-moves-forward-builder-looks-back-but-moves.html "A builder looks back—and moves forward".] ''New York Times''.

==Candidacy==
[[File:2thumb-5-1-300x202.jpg|right|300px|thumb|As Trump rode the escalator to announce his candidacy, polls showed Hillary Clinton's collusion with Russia over the [[Uranium One deal]] was her biggest vulnerability. Deputy Attn. Gen. [[Sally Yates]] was taking steps to ban the Inspector General from oversight of the DOJ-National Security Division and hide [[FISA abuse]].<ref>[https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/03/08/doj-political-surveillance-from-the-irs-in-2011-to-the-fisa-court-in-2016/ DOJ Political Surveillance – From the IRS in 2011 to the FISA Court in 2016], Posted on March 8, 2020 by sundance. theconservativetreehouse.com</ref>]]
On June 16, 2015, he declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]].<ref>Multiple references:
*[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/16/trump-announces-white-house-bid-joins-crowded-gop-field/ "Trump announces White House bid, joins crowded GOP field"] (June 16, 2015). Fox News website/Politics. The front-runner in a record-breaking field of 17 [[Republican]] candidates, Trump announced that he did not anticipate "throwing punches" against his rivals in the first GOP debate.
*Chiacu, Donna and Torbati, Yeganeh (August 2, 2015). [https://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/02/us-usa-election-debate-idUSKCN0Q70NI20150802 "Trump says won't be 'throwing punches' in U.S. Republican debate"]. Reuters/Politics. But at the debate the [[Fox News Channel]]—particularly its [[feminist]] non-journalist [[Megyn Kelly]]—ambushed Trump with out-of-context quotations designed to smear him as somehow being anti-women. This ignited a national controversy that lasted for days, and Trump called upon Kelly to apologize, which she refused to do.</ref> Unlike most other U.S presidential candidates, Trump sharply criticizes the media and talks about issues that no elected official dares touch. For example, Trump stands up against [[feminists]], unlike most politicians. In another example, in 2011 Trump persistently doubted whether [[Barack Obama]] had been born in the [[United States]], which caused Obama's approval ratings to drop below 40% until Obama finally caved in to Trump and produced what Obama claimed was his birth certificate. Trump then scoffed at Obama's conduct.

'''''In February 2011, Trump announced that he is [[pro-life]], and at the final presidential debate on Oct. 19, 2016, Trump gave the strongest endorsement of the pro-life position of any presidential nominee in history'''''.

Trump's central campaign theme has been to oppose [[illegal immigration]] and [[free trade]], and nominated Senator [[Jeff Sessions]] as [[Attorney General]] to enforce standing legislation on the issue. As reported by [[Breitbart News Network|Breitbart]], "Sen. Sessions, Chairman of the Senate’s Immigration Subcommittee, is widely regarded as the gold standard on immigration. Sessions has also become the intellectual thought leader in the Republican Party on appealing to the blue collar voters who have been abandoned by their political leaders." <ref>Hahn, Julia (August 14, 2015). [https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/14/game-change-trump-consults-with-sen-jeff-sessions-on-immigration-strategy/ "Game change: Trump consults with Sen Jeff Sessions on immigration strategy"]. Breitbart website/Big government.</ref> In the later campaign Trump focused more on [[ISIS]] and terrorism.

At the final presidential debate between [[Hillary Clinton]] and Trump on October 19, 2016, Clinton chastised Trump for running a newspaper advertisement in 1987 critical of the [[Reagan Administration]]. But Trump persuasively explained that he has always disagreed with Reagan's support of free trade, as many other [[conservatives]] disagree with Reagan on this issue.

==Religious beliefs==

Donald Trump attended the First [[Presbyterian]] Church in Jamaica, [[Queens]]. He told the [[Christian Broadcasting Network]] that he still considers himself a [[Presbyterian]] and attends services for all major holidays and Sundays, and that "The [[Bible]] is certainly THE book."

==Career==
[[File:Trump business.jpg|right]]
Donald Trump began his career at [[Trump Organization]]. In his college years, he helped revitalize one of his father's failing real estate ventures. Trump began opening hotels and casinos, which provided him with the cash flow to engage in other ventures. He owns the world-famous [[Trump Tower]] and is the founder of the publicly traded Trump Hotel Casinos & Resorts. Trump also owns the Trump brand, which sells a variety of items, such as bottled water, steak, and even mortgages. Trump has authored a number of books and weathered changing business fortunes, but despite the challenges that he has encountered, he has continued to be a successful businessman and entrepreneur.

Trump [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2000|ran unsuccessfully]] for the nomination of the [[Reform Party]] in 2000. Trump considered [[presidential election 2012|running for president in 2012]] as a [[Republican]]. He, among others, questioned the citizenship of [[Barack Obama]], citing his failure to produce his birth certificate. After Obama produced his birth certificate, Trump and the other [[birther]]s continue to doubt its authenticity. Obama's approval ratings were around 40% during the peak of the controversy. Trump later exited the race, and gave the customary endorsement to [[Mitt Romney]] as the other [[Republican]] contenders did.

==Media==
[[File:Donald Trump star.JPG|thumbnail|right|Hollywood Walk of Fame]]
For his contributions to the gaming and entertainment industry, Trump was inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame in 1995.

In 2003 Trump began as the host and executive producer of the reality [[television]] show ''The Apprentice'' and ''The Celebrity Apprentice'', where contestants compete for a position in Trump's organization. On this show, Trump popularized his catchphrase "You're fired!" Trump received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007 following the success of ''The Apprentice''. However, since he became president, Trump's star as been periodically vandalized by liberal political critics.<ref>Press Association (April 8, 2016). [http://www.onenewspage.com/video/20160408/4211707/Donald-Trump-Hollywood-Walk-of-Fame-Star.htm "Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star vandalised three times a day"].</ref>

Trump is also a noted fan of [[WWE]], and has been a part of some of their shows. Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

In 2016, following winning the presidential election, Trump was named Person of the Year by [[Time Magazine]].

Trump used to own the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. Controversy arose when Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner was caught breaking pageant rules by drinking and other activities. Trump gave her a second chance after personally speaking with her and allowed her to retain her crown as she attended rehabilitation. For several weeks after this, [[Rosie O'Donnell]] berated Trump for his decision on ''The View''. A bitter media war ensued with the two exchanging insults.

Trump has made many guest appearances, usually as himself, on many TV shows and in several movies.

==Political positions==

====Coronavirus Pandemic====
President Trump deferred heavily to [[Hillary Clinton]]-supporter Anthony Fauci, a [[Deep State]] bureaucrat in the [[National Institutes of Health]], in responding to the [[coronavirus]] pandemic in early 2020. Trump rejected the advice of [[White House]] official Peter Navarro to take early action cutting off travel from [[China]], and to make [[hydroxychloroquine]] widely available.

Trump's polls numbers plummeted largely because of his deference to Fauci and unwillingness to take the advice of Navarro. John Fleming, an adviser to Chief of Staff [[Mark Meadows]], also misled Trump by denying the benefits of widespread access to hydroxychloroquine, as other countries have done to defeat [[COVID-19]].

Immediately after taking office, Trump had exchanged vitriolic rhetoric with and made threats to North Korea after the latter carried out numerous medium/long-range missile tests and a nuclear test in September 2017. However, in March 2018, Trump announced he would hold a summit with North Korea Chairman Kim Jong Un, making him the first U.S. president to have bilateral talks with a North Korean leader. The first summit was held in Singapore in June 2018, a second in Hanoi in February 2019, and a third informal summit in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in June 2019 - during which he became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot on North Korean soil. During the period of the summits, North Korea had halted testing of long/medium-range missiles, as well as nuclear testing (and outside of a few short-range missiles in early May 2019, North Korea hasn't tested any weapons since November 2017.)

On Monday, 7 October 2019, Trump ordered American military forces to withdraw from northern Syria in case Turkish forces and their allies would attack them, meaning the predominantly Syrian Kurdish ''SDF'' (''Syrian Democratic Force'') would not have direct U.S. military support. This decision came after a telephone conversation with Turkish ruler [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]] on Sunday,<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/turkey-announces-incursion-of-northeast-syria-us-backed-kurds-have-vowed-all-out-war Trump pulls back troops from northern Syria ahead of Turkish assault, Pentagon officials 'blindsided']</ref> and Turkish forces soon began advancing into northern Syria to create a buffer zone.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/world/turkey-syria-invasion-ground-forces-civilians-dead Turkey announces northern Syria invasion of ground forces; multiple civilians reported dead]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUeXaPaKF50 Why Turkey is invading Syria]</ref> In the same week it was announced that it is planned by the U.S. administration to send 1,500 troops to the Middle East because of the tensions between [[Saudi-Arabia]] and [[Iran]].<ref>[https://video.foxnews.com/v/6040831354001/ President Trump plans to send 1,500 US troops to the Middle East]</ref> President Erdogan visited the White House on November 13, 2019.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/13/donald-trump-im-a-big-fan-of-turkish-president-recep-tayyip-erdogan/ Donald Trump: ‘I’m a Big Fan’ of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan]</ref>

====Second Amendment rights====

Trump is strongly pro-[[Second Amendment]] and against [[leftist]] [[gun control]] and gun free zones. As president, Trump has promised to re-arm military personnel on all American military bases as well as [[ROTC]] recruitment centers, which were disarmed by the [[Clinton Administration]] policy.<ref name=Educ/> Trump was strongly endorsed by the [[National Rifle Association]] in one of its earliest endorsements in an election campaign.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/20/nra-to-endorse-trump.html# Trump wins NRA endorsement, blasts Clinton on gun stance at forum].

====Homosexual agenda====
For all practical purposes, Trump seems to be on the side of the [[homosexual agenda]]. He supports the creation of new law by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], as in a new right to [[homosexual marriage]], and declares it the "law of the land" even though Congress passed no such law.

Trump has attended multiple [[same-sex marriage]] ceremonies{{Citation needed}}, but has also said in the past that he opposes same-sex marriage. Trump's views are not yet known on other aspects of the [[homosexual agenda]], such as whether Trump would ban [[conversion therapy]] for minors as [[Chris Christie]] did. The [[Fox News Channel]] debate in August avoided these issues.

====Immigration====
{{See also|Donald Trump achievements: Immigration and border security}}
See the discussion in the introduction above. This is Trump's main campaign issue.

A central part of his immigration plan is to build a giant wall on the border with Mexico. Trump estimates it will cost $8 billion, approximately 35 to 40 feet high and stretch 2000 miles.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/09/donald-trump-the-wall-is-probably-8-billion Trump Border Wall]</ref> During the campaign, Trump promised that Mexico will pay for the wall, but after taking office, he clarified that payment could be in the form of a tax on Mexican imports or other revenues measures after the Mexican government showed opposition towards Trump's plan.

Trump has also proposed to temporarily ban [[Muslims]] from entering the United States, until "our leaders figure out what the hell is going on," in order to protect Americans from the threats posed by [[Islamic]] [[refugee]]s (and those pretending to be<ref>[http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/isis-fighters-infiltrating-syrian-refugees-uk-is-warned/article/2572051 ISIS fighters infiltrating Syrian refugees, UK is warned]</ref>) entering the country.<ref>[http://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/donald-trump-insists-muslim-ban-is-about-safety-not-religion Donald Trump Insists Muslim Ban Is About Safety, Not Religion]</ref>

Efforts have been made by hostile journalists to paint Trump as advocating a [[Muslim registry]], but what he actually proposed was a [[database for Syrian refugees]].

====Political contributions====
He has been criticized for his substantial contributions to [[Democrat]] lawmakers; the majority of those lawmakers are located in the states he resides in: New York and Florida. The amount he has donated since 2008 is $25,000, which is insignificant considering his wealth.<ref>Allin, Olivia (April 30, 2011).

Trump's tactics of naming and shaming candidates has been proven very effective. He called Jeb Bush 'low-energy Jeb' and it stuck. Then came Marco Rubio as 'Little Marco.' Next came 'Lyin' Ted' for Ted Cruz. For the Democrats, he calls Hillary Clinton 'Crooked Hillary'. He doesn't give Bernie Sanders the same treatment though he has referred to him as a Communist.

American [[secular left]]ists were extremely angry and upset in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election victory (see: [[Donald Trump and American atheists]]).

In certain cases, it became debilitating (see:: [[Secular leftists and psychogenic illness]]).

The ''Religion News Service'' reported:
{{Cquote|For the last decade, [[Atheism|atheists]], [[secular humanism|humanists]] and others [[secular]]ists have worked hard to organize a “secular vote” that would counter the political clout of the [[religious right]].

He said he would appoint religiously conservative Supreme Court justices, ban [[Islam|Muslim]] immigrants, favor [[Christianity]] and repeal the [[Johnson Amendment]], which prohibits certain tax-exempt organizations from endorsing political candidates — issues antithetical to organized atheism and [[humanism]].<ref>[http://religionnews.com/2016/11/09/dealt-a-body-blow-atheists-and-humanists-regroup/ Dealt a body blow, atheists and humanists regroup] by Kimberly Winston, ''Religion News Service'', November 9, 2016</ref>}}

July 2005 London Bombings

2020-12-15T01:21:21Z

Sievert 81: /* The 52 Victims */ rv

The 7 '''July 2005 London bombings''' (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that targeted London's public transport system.. At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers and injured 700.

== The Attacks ==
 The first bomb exploded on an eastbound Circle Line Underground train, travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. The parallel track of the Hammersmith and City Line from Liverpool Street to Aldgate East was also damaged.
 The second bomb exploded on the second carriage of a westbound Circle Line Underground train. The train had just left Edgware Road and was heading for Paddington. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. There were several other trains nearby at the time of the explosion, which were also damaged.
 The third bomb exploded on a southbound Piccadilly Line Underground train, travelling between King's Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square. The bomb exploded about one minute after the train left King's Cross.
 The final explosion occurred in Tavistock Square on a No. 30 double-decker bus travelling its route from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick.
Earlier, the bus had passed through the King's Cross are and was diverted from its normal route by police, allegedly because of road closures in the King's Cross area. The explosion ripped the roof off the top deck of the vehicle and destroyed the back of the bus. Most of the passengers at the front are believed to have survived, including the driver, but those at the top and lower rear of the bus did not. By-standers were also injured by the explosion,

== 21 July Failed Bombings ==
 Exactly two weeks later, a second series of four explosions took place on the London Underground and a London bus. The detonators of all four bombs exploded, but none of the main explosive charges detonated, and there were no casualties: the single injury reported at the time was later revealed to be an asthma sufferer. All suspected bombers from this failed attack escaped from the scenes but were later arrested.

== Memorial==

On 7 July 2006, the country held a two-minute silence at midday to remember those who died in the bombings a year before. Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost.

'''Rightpedia''' (en.rightpedia.info) was a misnamed [[neo-Nazi|national socialist]] (Nazi) wiki created by ex-[[Metapedia]] admins. The website contained [[anti-Semitic]], racist and [[holocaust denial]] material. By its name, it appeared to be another [[false flag]] cyber operation to [[defamation|defame]] the Right by ignoring the fact that the [[Nazi Party]], and [[Nazism]] itself, are on the [[far-Left]] of the political spectrum alongside other [[totalitarian]] ideologies like [[Communism]], and that racism and anti-Semitism are particularly [[leftist]] traits.

==History==
Rightpedia was founded in 2015 by the Hungarian neo-Nazi Eleonóra Dubiczki (username Fiala). She was banned from [[Metapedia]] for promoting irrational [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] about Jewish people and misusing the website to attack political enemies. She invited several other banned Metapedia users and promoted them as admins including Michael Coombs (username Mikemikev) and A Wyatt Man. On November 6th, 2018 Fiala purchased protection from Cloudflare to hide Rightpedia's host, but there were already public records that the hosting provider for Rightpedia is GoDaddy. The website was taken down later that year.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20151026191601/http://www.whoishostingthis.com/?q=en.rightpedia.info "en.rightpedia.info | Who Is Hosting en.rightpedia.info?"] ''WhoIsHostingThis.com''.</ref>

==Content==
Rightpedia contained hundreds of articles which were [[anti-Semitic]], [[racist]] and [[xenophobic]]. For example, they described [[black people]] as "uneducated gorillas" and rapists.<ref>[http://archive.fo/yEAU8 Subsaharan Africans]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/ikMIn Black subcultures in the United States]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.fo/K2h7w Race and crime]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref> They described [[Jewish]] people with smear terms such as "disloyal", "greedy", "ugly" and "perverted".<ref>[http://archive.is/HescL Jews]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref> Dubiczki has written articles on Rightpedia which denied the [[Holocaust]] happened and glorified the actions of the Nazi Party.<ref>[http://archive.is/RqjCQ Auschwitz detention centre]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/rwc60 Jewish casualties during World War II]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/2E54S National Socialist German Workers' Party]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref>

==On Conservapedia==
Rightpedia trashed [[Conservapedia]]. They attacked this site for accepting the six million figure for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, for rejecting [[Darwinism]] and the [[theory of evolution]] (both of which are embraced enthusiastically by the Left), supporting [[Creationism|biblical creation]], and for condemning the [[socialist]] policies of [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref>[http://archive.is/b6ROF Conservapedia].

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

2020-12-14T03:29:40Z

Sievert 81:

''Not to be confused with [[Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease]], the disease responsible for the UK epidemic.''

'''Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease''' is a sporadic and rare, but fatal human [[disease]] that usually strikes people over 55. It is a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]], and like other TSEs, is caused by [[prion]]s and always fatal. It occurs worldwide at an estimated rate of one case per million population, although it's possible that between 15,000 and 75,000 cases of CJD occur in the US alone. New studies show that 3-13% of Alzheimer's disease cases are actually misdiagnosed CJD. About 10-15% of CJD cases are inherited. A small number of cases occurred as the result of various medical treatments or procedures which inadvertently transferred prions. This is known as [[iatrogenesis]]. The incubation period of this disease is between 20 and 60 years. It's thought that genetics controls the incubation period.

==CDC's claims versus reality==
The CDC claims that there are only 450 CJD cases per year in the USA. In reality, there are well over 75,000. This is because neurologists are misdiagnosing CJD as [[Alzheimer's disease]]. In a study done by Elias E. and Laura Manuelidis, they showed that 13% of Alzheimer's cases are actually CJD. With around 600,000 cases of Alzheimer's per year, that's around 75,000 cases of CJD per year. Because BSE can cause 'sporadic' CJD, as well as prions being transmitted via plants, and [[nanoplastics]] misfolding [[prion|PrP]]s, it's obvious where it's coming from. Nanoplastics get in the water supply, asymptomatic BSE infected cows get into our food supply, and prions get in our plants.

The '''Pfizer COVID vaccine''' was first approved in the [[United Kingdom]] late in 2020, for those over 16 years old.

It is a novel mRNA vaccine, having data on merely 30,000 patients. The follow-up monitoring consisted of only two months. It creates [[prion|abnormal proteins]] that attack the female reproductive system.

On Dec. 9, 2020, [[Pfizer]] issued a warning for those having allergies:
{{cquote|Two people who were jabbed with Pfizer’s recently-approved coronavirus vaccine in the UK had to be treated for serious adverse reactions — leading to warnings that those with “significant” allergies may not be able to get it.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/12/09/uk-issues-warning-about-pfizers-covid-19-vaccine/</ref>}}

[[Vaccine]] critic [[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]] wanted about the potential for this allergic reaction months ago:
{{cquote|An investigation this week identified polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the likely reason two people in the UK suffered anaphylaxis after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. In September, CHD Chairman RFK, Jr. warned the FDA that PEG in COVID vaccines could lead to severe allergic reactions.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-covid-vaccine-reaction-fda-peg/</ref>}}

The meeting of the FDA advisory committee is available online, at which several dissented from recommending this vaccine to the public, particularly for those aged 16 to 18 years old.<ref>https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/advisory-committee-calendar/vaccines-and-related-biological-products-advisory-committee-december-10-2020-meeting-announcement</ref>

== Pathogenic Priming ==

Testing results show pathogenic priming in older adults.

== "Non-Serious"? ==

There is questionable categorizing of severe adverse effects as "non-serious", such as Bell’s Palsy, neuroinflammatory and thrombotic reactions. These can develop into severe conditions and can remain for the rest of one's life.

Issues have been raised as to whether studies have been biased against finding adverse reactions.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-covid-vaccine-trial-pathogenic-priming/</ref>

== Refrigeration requirements ==

This vaccine requires special, super-cold refrigeration not commonly used at hospitals or medical facilities. It has a shelf life of only 5 days at subfreezing temperatures commonly used by hospitals for vaccines.<ref>https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid_19_vaccine_u_s_distribution_fact_sheet</ref> However, there is system or accountability to ensure proper refrigeration.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

2020-12-13T06:29:54Z

Sievert 81:

''Not to be confused with [[Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease]], the disease responsible for the UK epidemic.''

'''Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease''' is a sporadic and rare, but fatal human [[disease]] that usually strikes people over 55. It is a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]], and like other TSEs, is caused by [[prion]]s and always fatal. It occurs worldwide at an estimated rate of one case per million population, although it's possible that between 15,000 and 75,000 cases of CJD occur in the US alone. New studies show that 3-13% of Alzheimer's disease cases are actually misdiagnosed CJD. About 10-15% of CJD cases are inherited. A small number of cases occurred as the result of various medical treatments or procedures which inadvertently transferred prions. This is known as [[iatrogenesis]].

==CDC's claims versus reality==
The CDC claims that there are only 450 CJD cases per year in the USA. In reality, there are well over 75,000. This is because neurologists are misdiagnosing CJD as [[Alzheimer's disease]]. In a study done by Elias E. and Laura Manuelidis, they showed that 13% of Alzheimer's cases are actually CJD. With around 600,000 cases of Alzheimer's per year, that's around 75,000 cases of CJD per year. Because BSE can cause 'sporadic' CJD, as well as prions being transmitted via plants, and [[nanoplastics]] misfolding [[prion|PrP]]s, it's obvious where it's coming from. Nanoplastics get in the water supply, asymptomatic BSE infected cows get into our food supply, and prions get in our plants.

Holocaust denial

2020-12-12T05:47:25Z

Sievert 81:

'''Holocaust denial''' is a belief that the Nazi [[Holocaust]] did not occur, or occurred to a lesser extent than believed by the preponderance of scholars. Holocaust deniers assert that the Nazis did not attempt to exterminate the [[Jews]] (as well as political opponents, [[Gypsies]], [[Catholics]] and other [[Christian]] church members opposed to their policies, mentally retarded individuals, homosexuals, etc.) during [[World War II]].

The Holocaust denial viewpoint has no support amongst any significant number of scholars. This denial is partly a result of a growing number of [[Existentialism|existentialist]] thinkers who refer to history as simply a "myth" as well as the result of the efforts of liberal history revisionists (see [[Liberalism and genocide denial]]) and [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semites]].

As denial of the Holocaust is nonfactual, another common strategy of historical revisionism is to use relativism by comparing it to other genocides, the death toll of Germans in WWII, persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany, or the number of abortions, in an attempt at [[moral equivalence]].

One of its main purposes is to discredit the establishment of the nation of [[Israel]] in 1948. The other purpose is to deny Hitler did anything wrong. Questioning the historicity and authenticity of the Holocaust is considered gravely offensive to Jews,<ref>http://skepdic.com/holocaustdenial.html</ref> and anti-Semitic in nature as it is intended to be inflammatory and provocative toward them. Denying the Holocaust is illegal in a number of European countries. In 2007, a German court sentenced notorious [[historical revisionism|historical revisionist]] and denier Ernst Zündel to five years in prison for "incitement of racial hatred." <ref>http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/03/01/zundel-release.html</ref>

== Tenets of Holocaust Denial ==
"Holocaust denial" is a simplistic term for a movement with several different schools of thought. Some radical conspiracy theorists and neo-Nazi groups dispute whether the Holocaust occurred, but the superabundance of evidence undermines their argument. Most Holocaust deniers do not deny that the event happened at all, but they question the methods, historiography and truth behind the Holocaust. That viewpoint has manifested itself into the following arguments used by most contemporary Holocaust deniers.

=== Nazi policy and lack of written orders ===
Some Holocaust deniers admit that many Jews died during the war, but dispute that there was any official Nazi policy towards extermination of the Jews. To support this argument, they claim that there exists no unequivocal written order from Adolf Hitler that orders the mass murder of Jews. This argument maintains that the Jewish deaths during the war were no more than collateral damage and/or the civilian deaths that are unavoidable, especially in a war of that size.

==== Rebuttal ====
Despite the lack of a written order, Hitler's intentions were well-known. In a 1939 speech in the Reichstag, Hitler voiced a goal of "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."<ref>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denialbrief.html</ref> Aside from that, an abundance of eyewitness testimony, diaries and orders from other Nazi officials make it clear that there was a planned extermination campaign in place.<ref>http://www.auschwitz.dk/hitler.htm</ref><ref>http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/american/skeptic-magazine/skeptic-9.html</ref> It is highly unlikely that a project of this size would occur without the knowledge or consent of the notoriously autocratic Hitler.

As well, there is abundant evidence that Nazi officials ordered widespread destruction of such written orders towards the end of the war. As it appeared increasingly likely that Germany would lose the war, Himmler ordered such documentation destroyed, so as to avoid incriminating the regime. There also exists a signed order dated April 1945, in which Himmler orders that no prisoner "fall into the hands of the enemies alive," since their testimony would condemn the Nazi leaders.<ref>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denialbrief.html</ref>

While awaiting trial in 1960, Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann said that Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Reich Main Security Office had told him in August 1941 that "the Führer has ordered the physical extermination of the Jews."<ref>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denial.html</ref>

=== "The Six Million Lie" ===
Many deniers question the death toll of the Holocaust, claiming that the numbers are "highly inflated". Many contemporary Holocaust deniers put the Jewish death toll between 300,000 and 1.1 million,<ref>http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/denial.shtml</ref> which is at odds with most widely accepted statistics, which put the Jewish death toll at approximately six million.<ref>http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005143</ref>

==== Rebuttal ====
Simple demographic evidence effectively rebuts this argument. Deniers claim that many Jews simply emigrated elsewhere, but there are no corresponding population increases in other countries that would support this argument. While it is possible that hundreds, or even thousands of people could "fall through the cracks," that still leaves several million Jews unaccounted for.<ref>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denial.html</ref> Deniers will go on to say that Red Cross puts it at 300,000, but they responded that they never published their claims nor complied. <ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0031322X.1978.9969431</ref><ref>http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/orgs/international/red-cross/ftp.py?orgs/international/red-cross//300000-victims.response</ref> The World Almanac that they use is not even on their side. <ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/techniques-of-denial/worldalmanac.html</ref> The Nazis kept records of the 3 million Jews that they took out in eight different extermination camps,<ref>http://motlc.wiesenthal.com/site/pp.asp?c=gvKVLcMVIuG&b=394667</ref><ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/qar/qar01.html</ref> and even Rudolf Hess wrote volumes about it while Adolf Eichmann said that more should have been done. Just as the post-Nazi and [[Khmer Rouge]] governments released records of war crimes and genocide, the contemporary [[Turkish]] and [[Japan]]ese governments have not.

=== Use of gas chambers ===
This axis of Holocaust denial consists of several different arguments:

* The "Gas chambers" were not gas chambers at all. They were used as morgues or air raid shelters. In support of this, many deniers point to the infamous Leuchter Report, a pseudoscientific and widely discredited forensic report which found no evidence of use of hydrocyanic gas in the chambers at Auschwitz.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/doc/2582074/Leuchter-Report</ref>
* The gas chambers and crematoria found at many Nazi prisoner camps were not used to kill Jews. They were used strictly for delousing clothes, mattresses and other materials to prevent the spread of lice and typhus.<ref>http://www.nizkor.org/faqs/auschwitz/auschwitz-faq-06.html</ref>
* The chambers were not adequate for gassing. They were improperly sealed, lacked exhaust systems and had no opening for which to introduce gas.

==== Rebuttal ====
These arguments collapse under the weight of overwhelming evidence. Photographs, written orders and eyewitness testimony from guards and prisoners alike support the position that gas chambers were employed for mass murder.<ref>http://judaism.about.com/library/2_holocaust/testimonies/bl_1nirgalim.htm</ref><ref>http://www.shamash.org/holocaust/photos/</ref><ref>http://www.shamash.org/holocaust/denial/testimony.txt</ref>

Arguments based on the physical structure of the chambers (ventilation, construction and other concerns) spring from the postwar examination of the camps. However, there is ample evidence that Nazis fully or partially destroyed many execution facilities to conceal evidence of their crimes.<ref>http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005189</ref><ref>http://remember.org/History.root.rev.html</ref>

A letter from Karl Bischoff, the head architect at Auschwitz, to the German Armament Works dated March 31, 1943 orders "three gas tight doors" for Crema 3 following “exactly the size and construction of those already delivered” for Crema 2. Bischoff reminded the manufacturer that the doors had to have a spy-hole of double 8-mm glass “with a rubber seal and metal fitting.” The order was characterized as “very urgent.”

There are also many photographs of actual gas-tight doors that were found all over Auschwitz immediately after the war. One, which had been used in either Crema 4 or 5, had a peep-hole covered with a heavy mesh screen and still had a gas-tight seal still around the edge, just as Bischoff's letter requested. The blueprints for Crema 2 show ventilation ducts in the walls (labeled ‘Entlüftung’) and the remains of the ducts can still be seen in the ruins. In the archives, there is also a request for a “handle for the gastight door” and a request for “twenty-four-gastight anchoring screws for gas tight doors” for Cremas 4 and 5.

The walls and ceilings of the gas chambers were plastered and whitewashed as numerous eyewitnesses have testified. By the time Leuchter arrived at the camp to take his samples, the plaster was gone and the exposed brick had been exposed to 40 years of rain, sun and snow. As HCN leaves only a thin blue chemical residue on surfaces, any “Prussian Blue” residue from the HCN would have collected on the surface of the plaster and would not have left a substantial presence on the bricks and mortar or concrete underneath.

Leuchter collected 31 handful-sized samples of bricks and mortar from the cremas and one control sample from the delousing chamber in Birkenau. By the time he crawled into the ruins of Crema 2, the plaster was long gone and only the bricks and mortar and concrete remained. Cremas 4 and 5 were constructed entirely of brick. They were totally destroyed before the end of the war. Only the concrete foundations remain and bricks have been gathered from around the area and loosely stacked up to show the general outline of the floor plan of the buildings. The bricks that Leuchter sampled did not necessarily come from anywhere near the gas chamber rooms. In the laboratory the individual samples were ground up into powder. Any trace of the HCN residue that might have been there became a miniscule part of the entire sample. A more appropriate method would have tested only the surfaces of the sample. Testing the total amount of the ground up powder was like trying to analyze the color and chemical structure of paint on the inside of a wall by looking for it in the boards and masonry behind the drywall. In the case of Cremas 4 and 5, it would like analyzing the materials from another room entirely.” The fact that Leuchter still found “insignificant traces” of the chemicals in the ruins of the gas chambers after all these years of being exposed to the elements is proof that there WERE gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau.<ref>http://www.hdot.org/en/learning/myth-fact/leuchter</ref>

A properly authorized and meticulously conducted, rigorously scientific study done by Polish authorities in 1994 found that "''in spite of the passage of a considerable period of time (over 45 years) in the walls of the facilities which once were in contact with hydrogen cyanide the vestigial amounts of the combinations of this constituent of Zyklon B had been preserved. This is also true of the ruins of the former gas chambers''."

== Holocaust Denial in Germany ==
Holocaust denial is a particularly sensitive issue in Germany, the former seat of the Nazi regime. The country first outlawed denial movements in 1985, making it a crime to deny the extermination of the Jews. The law was amended in 1994, imposing a fine and a five-year prison sentence on anyone who publicly endorses, denies or plays down the genocide against the Jews.<ref>http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,1833619,00.html</ref> In 2007, the German government spearheaded a movement to ban Holocaust denial throughout the [[European Union]].<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6263103.stm</ref>

== Holocaust Denial in China ==
Various Anti-Semetic articles have been published by Chinese media outlets which deny the Holocaust, claim that the number of Jews killed is only in the "tens of thousands", and blame Jews for being "too greedy and self-interested". <ref>https://antisemitism.org.il/en/111153/</ref>

== Holocaust Denial in Japan ==
A base of anti-Semitism is observable in the liberal news media of [[Japan]] in which news sources ''([[Shukanshi]])'' including the popular ''Shukan Bunshun'' has repeatedly published articles denying the German holocaust of European Jews.<ref>Adam Gamble & Takesato Watanabe - ''A Public Betrayed - An Inside Look at Japanese Media Atrocities and Their Warnings to the West'', 2004.</ref>

== Holocaust Denial by "Christians" ==
The Westboro Baptist Church, a group of homophobic, "Christian" extremists and self-proclaimed "fag-haters" and creators of the website [http://www.godhatesfags.com GodHatesFags.com], created a parody of "Hey Jude" by the Beatles titled "Hey Jews".

This song features several anti-Semitic remarks, including the line "Fag & dyke rabbis teach rebellion. You lie about the holocaust days". Clearly stating that they believe the Holocaust was a lie created by homosexual rabbis.
<ref>http://www.godhatesfags.com/audio/index.html</ref>

== Denial movements abroad ==
Iranian president and prominent anti-Semite [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]] has become an outspoken voice of the denier movement, making many deliberately inflammatory and provocative public statements condemning Israel and Jews in general. He has questioned whether the Holocaust actually occurred and hosted a conference designed to cast doubt on the idea of its historicity.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236014,00.html</ref>

==Countries where Holocaust denial is illegal==

'''Rightpedia''' (en.rightpedia.info) was a misnamed [[neo-Nazi|national socialist]] (Nazi) wiki created by ex-[[Metapedia]] admins. The website contained [[anti-Semitic]], racist and [[holocaust denial]] material. By its name, it appeared to be another [[false flag]] cyber operation to [[defamation|defame]] the Right by ignoring the fact that the [[Nazi Party]], and [[Nazism]] itself, are on the [[far-Left]] of the political spectrum alongside other [[totalitarian]] ideologies like [[Communism]], and that racism and anti-Semitism are particularly [[leftist]] traits.

==History==
Rightpedia was founded in 2015 by the Hungarian neo-Nazi Eleonóra Dubiczki (username Fiala). She was banned from [[Metapedia]] for promoting irrational [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] about Jewish people and misusing the website to attack political enemies. She invited several other banned Metapedia users and promoted them as admins including Michael Coombs (username Mikemikev) and A Wyatt Man. On November 6th, 2018 Fiala purchased protection from Cloudflare to hide Rightpedia's host, but there were already public records that the hosting provider for Rightpedia is GoDaddy. The website was taken down in 2018.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20151026191601/http://www.whoishostingthis.com/?q=en.rightpedia.info "en.rightpedia.info | Who Is Hosting en.rightpedia.info?"] ''WhoIsHostingThis.com''.</ref>

==Content==
Rightpedia contained hundreds of articles which were [[anti-Semitic]], [[racist]] and [[xenophobic]]. For example, they described [[black people]] as "uneducated gorillas" and rapists.<ref>[http://archive.fo/yEAU8 Subsaharan Africans]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/ikMIn Black subcultures in the United States]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.fo/K2h7w Race and crime]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref> They described [[Jewish]] people with smear terms such as "disloyal", "greedy", "ugly" and "perverted".<ref>[http://archive.is/HescL Jews]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref> Dubiczki has written articles on Rightpedia which denied the [[Holocaust]] happened and glorified the actions of the Nazi Party.<ref>[http://archive.is/RqjCQ Auschwitz detention centre]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/rwc60 Jewish casualties during World War II]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/2E54S National Socialist German Workers' Party]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref>

==On Conservapedia==
Rightpedia trashed [[Conservapedia]]. They attacked this site for accepting the six million figure for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, for rejecting [[Darwinism]] and the [[theory of evolution]] (both of which are embraced enthusiastically by the Left), supporting [[Creationism|biblical creation]], and for criticizing the [[socialist]] policies of [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref>[http://archive.is/b6ROF Conservapedia]. Rightpedia. archive.is.</ref>

Democrat presidential nominee former [[Vice President]] [[Joe Biden]] made a particularly offensive and egregious [[racist]] comment toward [[African American]]'s during a radio interview.<ref>https://youtu.be/GaTv5FQHqVw</ref> Biden's comments were an effort at [[voter intimidation]]. [[Black Entertainment Television]] (BET) co-founder Bob Johnson called him out saying in part,

{{quotebox-float|"This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as black people know it is exactly the opposite.

[[NBC]]'s ''America’s Got Talent'' host Terry Crews<ref>https://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/credits/host/terry-crews</ref> pointed out the inherent racism in the Democratic nominee's train of thought:
{{quotebox-float|“When you’re white, you can be Republican, [[Libertarian]], Democrat. You can be anything. But if you’re black, you have to be one thing. Even Joe Biden said, ‘Hey man, if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.’”<ref>https://pjmedia.com/election/tyler-o-neil/2020/06/18/terry-crews-slams-biden-warns-against-black-supremacy-n545003</ref>}}
Biden won the Democrat presidential nomination when South Carolina Rep. [[Jim Clyburn]] endorsed him, and the dominos of the Democrat machine fell into place. In short choreographed order, the remaining white candidates, Amy Klobuchar, [[Pete Buttigieg]], Tom Steyer, [[Michael Bloomberg]] and a host of local officials began goosestepping in lockstep. The minority candidates, [[Kamala Harris]], [[Cory Booker]], [[Julian Castro]], and [[Tulsi Gabbard]] had been driven out earlier in a rigged process that allowed rich white male billionaires - Steyer and Bloomberg - to buy their way into the process once all the people of color had been forced out.<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/02/michael-moore-goes-ballistic-on-dnc-for-changing-debate-rules-for-bloomberg/</ref> Clyborn admitted he cringed when he heard Biden's racist attack on Black people.<ref>https://youtu.be/HNgrTu1YhuU</ref>

The Democrats cynically tried to take advantage of George Floyd's killing, which occurred only days after Biden's racist comments, to repair his relations with Blacks by attacking the alleged [[systemic racism]] of police departments. Police groups and unions which Biden courted since the 1990s on behalf of the [[Democratic party]] and [[Clinton administration]] with the [[Biden Crime Bill]], mass incarceration, and effort to put 100,000 new cops on the street to deal with "Superpredators", responded by withdrawing their support.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/04/police-groups-joe-biden-300222</ref> ''Jacobin'' magazine summarized Biden's record: {{Quotebox-float|"It’s not as if Biden didn’t know what he was doing.... He just didn’t care. Biden had made a calculated decision that the elections he would win were worth the damage he inflicted....even if Biden has subsequently learned the error of his ways, the rank cynicism and callousness involved in his two-decade-long championing of carceral policies should be more than enough to give anyone pause about his qualities as a leader, let alone a progressive one."<ref>https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/08/biden-crime-mass-incarceration-police-prisons</ref>}}
Lee Stranahan observed the organized George Floyd riots were an attempt to win the alienated white [[Bernie Sanders]] supporters back to the Democrat plantation.

Democrat lawmakers, led by House Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] and [[Karen Bass]] faced overwhelming backlash after wearing Kente cloth during their nearly nine-minute moment of silence in a [[photo-op]] staged to show their alleged sympathy for black victims of police brutality. Some fiddled with iPhones while allegedly mourning Floyd. Many users across social media questioned their motives and blasted them for missing the mark.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/08/outrage-at-democrats-wearing-kente-cloth-during-moment-of-silence-so-woke-it-actually-feels-racist/</ref>

{{quotebox|"In your tokenism, you didn't wait to find out that this thing that you're hanging around your neck is not just some African uniform -- it's actually the kente material.

Kente reflects the history of the Ashanti people, from the emergence of the various Ashanti kingdoms to the development of the slave trade up to and including contemporary life in [[Ghana]].<ref>http://ultimatehistoryproject.com/kente-cloth-and-the-history-of-the-ashanti-people.html</ref>
Slavery was historically a tradition with the Ashanti, slaves typically taken as captives from enemies in warfare. The welfare of their slaves varied from being able to acquire wealth and intermarry with the master's family to being a human sacrifice in funeral ceremonies.<ref>[[Alfred Burdon Ellis]],
[https://archive.org/details/tshispeakingpeo01elligoog/page/n302  , ''The Tshi-speaking peoples of the Gold Coast of West Africa''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610125849/https://books.google.com/books?id=jtMSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA290 |date=2016-06-10 }}, 1887. p. 290</ref><ref>Rodriguez, Junius P. ''The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery, Volume 1'', 1997. p. 53.</ref>

By the early 1800s the Ashanti had become a major [[export]]er of enslaved people. The slave trade was originally focused north with captives going to Mande and Hausa traders who exchanged them for goods from [[North Africa]] and indirectly from [[Europe]]. By 1800, the trade had shifted to the south as the Ashanti sought to meet the growing demand of the British, Dutch, and French for captives. In exchange, the Ashanti received luxury items and some manufactured goods including most importantly [[firearm]]s. The consequence of this trade for the Ashanti and their neighbors was horrendous. From 1790 until 1896, the Ashanti were in a perpetual state of war involving expansion or defense of its domain. Most of these wars afforded the opportunity to acquire more slaves for trade.<ref>https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/ashanti-empire-asante-kingdom-18th-late-19th-century/</ref>

The modern-day Ashanti claim that slaves were seldom abused,<ref>Johann Gottlieb Christaller,
''Ashanti Proverbs: (the primitive ethics of a savage people)'', 1916, pp. 119-20.</ref> and defend the "humanity" of Ashanti slavery by noting that those slaves were allowed to marry, and that their children were born free.<ref name="History of the Ashanti Empire">

It's the white liberal [[Hillary Clinton]] supporter walking her dog in [[Central Park]] who would tell you right now, you know, people like that, 'I don't see race, race is no big deal to me, I see us all as the same, I give to charities,' but the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the [[Aryan nation]].<ref>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/central-park-karen</ref> A Klansmember could not have been better trained to pick up her phone and tell the police a black man, African-American man, come get him.

So even the most liberal well-intentioned white person has a [[virus]] in his or her brain that can be activated at an instant. And so what you're seeing now is a curtain falling away. And those of us who have been burdened by this every minute, every second of our entire lives are fragile right now. We are fragile right now. We are tired. And so I appreciate people who have been reaching out, I've had people reaching out to me for two days now, expressing their empathy and sympathy.

My only prayer, look in the mirror at how you choke off black opportunity. How you choke off black dignity. How you behave in ways that make it harder for African-Americans to rise in your profession, in your place of work, on your campus, in your house of worship, and start working on that. Because this is the last domino of a whole series of dominos that have been falling for a long time. And black people have been getting [[gaslighting|gas lit]] every time we point this out."<ref>https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/29/van-jones-george-floyd-white-liberal-hillary-clinton-supporter-sot-newday.cnn</ref>}}

“We’re going to keep our social distance, and we’re not going to allow somebody in the crowd to throw some bulls**t and then we feel the bulk of that,” said the man. “We’re not allowing that no more.

===Amy Klobuchar===
[[File:Harris Mpls riot.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Sen. [[Kamala Harris]] solicited bail money for the [[terrorist]]s who burnt down the [[Minneapolis]] Police Station.]]
Alleged "centrist" [[Amy Klobuchar]], who ranks high on Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden's short list of VP choices, was the Minneapolis Hennepin County prosecutor prior to being elected by the longtime [[communist]] infiltrated [[Democrat Farm Labor]] party senator from Minnesota. Klobuchar handled a case involving the same police officer charged in the death of [[George Floyd]]. When exposed for protecting racist cops, Klobuchar blamed the [[Bill of Rights]] for not indicting the same cop accused of killing George Floyd in the death of another black man in 2006.<ref>https://www.nysun.com/editorials/amy-klobuchar-blames-the-bill-of-rights/91150/</ref>

Earlier in 2020 the [[NAACP]] and [[Black Lives Matter]] called on Klobuchar to withdraw her presidential bid due to her racist prosecution in a 2003 murder case resulting in a life sentence for an innocent black man.<ref>http://www.startribune.com/activists-call-on-amy-klobuchar-to-withdraw-over-2003-murder-case/567397292/</ref> As district attorney, Klobutcher built her career prosecuting a vastly disproportionate number of black youths.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s0W1-ILBT4</ref>

Klobuchar's racist views are in keeping with her opposition to [[due process]] rights and her [[anti-constitutionalist]] ideology.

With Klobuchar forced out of contention and her appeal to Blacks tainted, the [[liberal media]] re-booted [[Stacey Abrams]] of [[Georgia]] as the top contender for the Number 2 spot. A much touted Biden/Abrams "dream ticket" had already been peddled "out of the gate" even before Biden announced his candidacy in the Spring of 2019.<ref>https://www.axios.com/2020-presidential-election-joe-biden-stacey-abrams-vp-54472f8f-5bb2-4d1f-bc7c-0544a09ebba5.html</ref> Abrams supposedly is representative the vital Black female vote that Democrats relied upon to win back the [[House of Representatives|House]] in the [[2018 Midterm elections]]. Abrams has proven herself a loyal dogface pony soldier shilling for the [[Democrat plantation]], attacking [[Tara Reade]]'s credibility, with the added bonus of poo-pooing the "Believe All Women" and [[MeToo movement]]s. Racist Biden's staffers quietly and ironically told journalists behind Abrams back, 'no one takes Stacey seriously'.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/05/02/the-powerful-female-democrats-angling-for-biden-administration-hjobs/</ref>

===Keith Ellison===
[[Keith Ellison]] was actively opposed by the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation when he ran for Minnesota Attorney General in 2018. Bad blood has existed between the police officer's union and Ellison since the 1990s when Ellison, as a private attorney, defended a gang leader implicated in the public execution of a Minneapolis police officer.<ref>https://theminnesotasun.com/2018/11/04/minneapolis-police-make-final-plea-dont-vote-for-gang-attorney-keith-ellison/</ref> Ellison's sympathy for cop killers has been accentuated by his close association with the leader of [[Portland]]'s notoriously violent, [[homophobic]], and racist Antifa faction.<ref>https://youtu.be/YECDzSn7co8</ref> As congressman and Attorney General, Ellison promoted Antifa and political violence.<ref>https://bigleaguepolitics.com/busted-keith-ellison-photographed-with-portland-antifa-leader-deletes-pro-antifa-tweet/</ref> Antifa has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization by the [[Department of Homeland Security]].<ref>https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/9/2/1695501/-Homeland-Security-has-named-AntiFA-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization</ref>

Ellison is a former [[Democrat National Committee]] vice chair and congressman who gave up his seat to [[Ilhan Omar]] to run for Minnesota Attorney General. His son is on the Minneapolis City Council that wants to disband the city's police department.

As Attorney General Ellison overcharged the accused police officers, setting up future riots when and if the accused officers are exonerated.<ref>https://youtu.be/SETEqKnXug4</ref> ''[[Newsweek]]'' reported shortly after charges were filed, ''Prosecutors of George Floyd Police Officers Will Struggle to Get Four Convictions''.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/prosecutors-george-floyd-police-officers-will-struggle-get-four-convictions-1509258</ref>

===Democratic Socialists of America===

:{{See also|Communism}}
The [[Democratic Socialists of America]] (DSA) has 600 comrades in the [[Twin Cities]] who work closely with Antifa aligned groups. On May 27, 2020 the Twin Cities DSA issued a call on [[Twitter]] asking comrades for supplies at the same intersection where the Auto Zone was burned to the ground kicking off the nationwide riots. Later that evening the [[Marxist]]s tweeted,
[[File:Twin Cities DSA.PNG|right|3o0px|thumb|DSA call for supplies at the 3rd Precinct police station in Minneapolis which rioters burnt down hours later.]]
{{quotebox-float|"Want to help out your comrades protesting at the 3rd precinct? Here's a good list of much needed supplies."<ref>https://twitter.com/TwinCitiesDSA/status/1265774113693372417</ref>}}
The folks on the ground attached a list and included medical supplies, plywood for shields, anything else useful for shielding from the cops. The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct building was evacuated and burnt down hours later.<ref>https://www.fox9.com/news/rioters-set-minneapolis-police-precinct-on-fire-as-protests-reignite-over-george-floyds-death</ref> Private cars were then requested. The tweet read,

The Twin Cities DSA Ecosocialists Working Group tweeted to comrades,
{{quotebox-float|"Support the ongoing mass [[working-class]] uprising!"}}
The daughters of Democrat governor Tim Walz and Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar were two of the insurgents tweeting out strategic intelligence for the communist uprising.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/05/breaking-exclusive-minnesota-governors-daughter-hope-walz-tweeting-intel-violent-looters-rioters-just-like-ilhan-omars-daughter-isra-hirsi/</ref> On May 28, 2020, after the violence and burning down of law enforcement buildings, the DSA National Political Committee issued a statement in support of the rioters:
{{quotebox-float|"We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. His murder falls into the deeply entrenched pattern of violence, anti-Blackness, and oppression upheld by policing in this country.... This is [[white supremacy]]...

On May 30, journalist [[Andy Ngo]] tweeted:
{{quotebox-float|“We are witnessing glimpses of the full insurrection the [[far-left]] has been working on for decades. Within hours, militant antifa cells across the country mobilized to aid BLM rioters. The first broken window is the blood in the water for looters to move in. The fires come next.”}}
Ngo later added:
{{quotebox|“Media, politicians, public—all of us—have underestimated the training, purpose & capability of left-wing extremists. Every part of the rioting has a purpose. Fires destroy economy. Riots can overwhelm police & even military. All of it leads to a destabilized state if maintained.”}}
In [[Marxist–Leninist]] and [[Maoist]] theory, a [[United front]] is a [[coalition]] of [[leftist]] organizations that [[collude]] for the purpose of taking over a [[government]]. In the [[116th Congress]], the [[Committees of Correspondence for Democratic Socialism]], Democratic Socialists of America, [[Liberation Road]] (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization), and Communist Party of the United States formally created a united front of the nation's four largest Communist organizations to take over the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://m.theepochtimes.com/how-57000-socialists-and-communists-plan-to-take-over-the-democratic-party_2654589.html</ref> As of 2018 the umbrella group is known as the [[Left Inside/Outside Project]] (“One foot in the institutions, one foot in the streets.”<ref>https://dsabuild.org/r9-establishing-a-national-antifascist-and-direct-action-working-group</ref>) consisted of 57,000 [[community organizer]]s.<ref>https://organizingupgrade.com/the-left-we-want/</ref> At its August 2019 convention the DSA passed a resolution to form a
{{quotebox|“National Working Group to help drive collaboration and resource sharing to support our antifascist organizing.”<ref>https://www.dsausa.org/2019-convention-a-world-to-win/</ref>}}
Law enforcement authorities found evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:
{{quotebox|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner. Some of the caches look like they may have been planted days ago and some only in the last 24 hours or so, he said.

Police are also finding stolen vehicles with plates removed that are being used to transport the flammable materials. Looted goods and weapons also have been found in the stolen cars, he said.<ref>https://www.startribune.com/police-arrest-150-driver-who-barreled-into-crowd-held/570908442/?refresh=true</ref>}}
The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network. Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement). Democrat millionaire donor and former 2020 presidential election candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref>

The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice. The American [[Left]] has the power to start race riots in nearly every major U.S. city. DSA branches in [[Memphis]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Brooklyn]], [[Louisville]], [[Philadelphia]], and [[Richmond]] are raising funds for “George Floyd Uprisings Nationwide.”<ref>https://www.dsa-la.org/support_floyd_protests_nationwide</ref>

[[NBC News]] reported that New York's Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism said there is a high level of confidence within the New York Police Department (NYPD) that rioters had organized scouts, medics, and supply routes of rocks, bottles and accelerants to commit vandalism and violence. There are strong indicators they planned for violence in advance while using encrypted communications. NYPD has received intelligence that U-Haul trucks with NJ registrations were aiding looters and vandals by transporting stolen goods and criminal actors.<ref>https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1267877057817698305</ref>

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea explained how bricks and water bottles filled with cement had been thrown at NYPD members. Shea wrote that construction sites in the city have had bricks stolen from them.
{{quotebox-float|“Pre-staged bricks are being placed and then transported to ‘peaceful protests,’ which are peaceful protests, but then used by that criminal group within.

Teams of looters armed with power tools systematically worked together to loot one location after another. A neighborhood eyewitness stated,
{{quotebox|“Cars would drive up, let off the looters, unload power tools and suitcases and then the cars would drive away.

One out of every seven arrests in [[New York City]] were of people from out of state. Those arrested came from [[Massachusetts]], [[Connecticut]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[New Jersey]], [[Iowa]], [[Nevada]], [[Virginia]], [[Maryland]], [[Texas]] and St. Paul, Minnesota. The Police Commissioner estimated at least 20% of arrests were from out of town. Democrat mayor [[Bill de Blasio]]'s daughter was among those arrested along with others for acts of violence. The counterterrorism deputy commissioner told [[NBC News]],
{{quotebox|"Before the protests began, organizers of certain anarchists groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police.

{{quotebox-float|over 100 police showed up last night but essentially did nothing to stop the looting. Their passivity is extraordinary. The idea seems to be that it’s better to allow the looting than to prevent it. It’s an odd mindset: the criminal gets to set the terms of the encounter.
Downtown Washington resembles a war zone rather than the nation’s capital.

Lafayette Square, right across from the White House, is a disgusting mess. The protestations of the protesters extended to defacing statues of the likes of Polish [[Tadeusz Kosciuszko|Col. Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kosciuszko]] who fought in the [[American Revolutionary War]] in the [[Continental Army]]. The ubiquitous ‘f*** 12’ was sprayed in black on the plinth. Rather rough treatment, I should think, for a [[Polish]] [[freedom fighter]] against the Russians who also directed in his will that the proceeds of his American estate be used to procure the freedom of American [[slave]]s, including ones that his friend [[Thomas Jefferson]] owned.

As the acrid stench of smoke lingered in the air from a fire at the venerable St John’s Church, I strolled over to the middle of the park to look at a Secret Service structure that was covered with such pearls of wisdom as ‘F*** AmericaKKKa’. Buildings, including the [[Department of Veterans Affairs]], had smashed windows. The old standby, ‘eat the rich’, was sprayed near the Bombay Club. Clean-up crews were everywhere, performing the laborious task of effacing, as far as possible, the slogans that had been scribbled to liberate America.<ref>https://spectator.us/washington-war-zone-vandalism-protests/</ref>}}

[[File:CNN racist.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Consistent with their racist editorial policy, CNN built a wall to keep unwanted intruders out.]]
A rift has developed between peaceful [[Black Lives Matter]] protesters and the violent white liberal domestic terrorist organization, Antifa and other similar groups.<ref>https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/21/antifa-thug-attacks-black-lives-matter-member-in-dallas</ref><ref>https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2020/05/28/peaceful-black-protester-shuts-down-antifa-after-they-tried-to-get-violent/</ref> The Antifa Manual specifically instructs members to target Black Lives Matter and immigrant rights groups for subversive infiltration.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TheTwitterFeed/comments/gul0yk/jackposobiec_the_antifa_manual_specifically/</ref> White liberal [[anarchist]]s and [[socialist]]s from the Antifa terrorist organization piggy-back on peaceful [[civil rights]] protests, acting as the [[provocateur]]s of violence. This occurs in cities throughout the United States. Consequently, Blacks as a whole are blamed for rioting, looting, and violence. Then Blacks are reminded by the [[Democrat plantation]] establishment, "if you don't vote Democrat, you ain't Black".

Metro Atlanta [[DSA]] was involved in the lawlessness. Dozens of cars were burnt and destroyed near CNN headquarters.<ref>https://streamable.com/ubjohz</ref> Two black police officers were fired for tazzing a white riot protester.<ref>https://dmlnewsapp.com/video-attorney-fired-police-officers-says-bodycam-footage-incident-edited-multiple-times/</ref> In what can only be described as "institutional white flight", CNN's parent company Time Warner announced in the following days its intention to bail on the property and move their subversive communist propaganda headquarters to a civilized environment after having accomplished their objective of creating poverty and misery for the oppressed Black people of Atlanta.

When a drunk driver attempted to taze police with a stolen weapon and was shot and killed at a ''Wendy's'' restaurant, a communist white woman tried to burn down the Wendy's.<ref>https://youtu.be/VlSi2MT3Xgk</ref><ref>https://www.citizenfreepress.com/column-1/breaking-video-atlanta-wendys-set-on-fire-by-rioters/</ref> The rioters then turned on CNN cameramen.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/video-shows-atlanta-rioters-attacking-cnn-crew-outside-of-wendys-where-rayshard-brooks-was-shot/</ref>

Video footage from the police bodycam and a nearby witness makes it clear that Brooks resisted arrest after failing a breathalyzer test when police approached him sleeping in his car at a Wendy's parking lot, punching an officer and taking a taser the police had attempted to use on him before trying to flee the scene. Video footage from the parking lot makes it clear that Brooks was running away, and, without ceasing to run, pointed the taser at police behind him, at which point he was shot twice in the back by an officer.

Fulton County prosecutor [[Paul Howard]], a 28-year [[incumbent]], was presently under investigation for taking bribes.<ref>https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/fulton-county-da-faces-election-runoff-battle-while-under-state-investigation/7ACT6BS25ZBCLHOOPT6C36I644/</ref> Nine days earlier Howard finished second in a [[primary election]] and forced into a runoff election.

After a prolonged siege the Seattle Police Department abandoned its East Precinct building. In a private message to the department, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best passed the buck upstairs:
{{quotebox-float|“You fought for days to protect it. I asked you to stand on that line day in and day out, to be pelted with projectiles, to be screamed at, threatened, and in some cases hurt. Then to have a change of course nearly two weeks in — it seems like an insult on our community.”<ref>https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2020/06/seattle-police-chief-speaks-out-on-chaz-leaving-the-precinct-was-not-my-decision/</ref>}}
Several hundred demonstrators, led by Seattle City Council [[Socialist Alternative]]<ref>Socialist Alternative is a [[Trotsky]]ite organization.</ref> Kshama Sawant, occupied City Hall calling for the resignation of Democrat mayor [[Jenny Durkan]] and the [[defund the police|defunding of the Seattle Police Department]] after a march from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Sawant was backed by [[Democratic Socialists of America]] (DSA).<ref>https://keywiki.org/File:Zshama.PNG</ref> The DSA provided logistical support for the [[riot]]s.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-communist-origins-of-the-antifa-extremist-group_2282816.html</ref> Sawant called for the importance of Black LGBTQIA+ women and other issues. At City Hall another speaker decried Sawant's co-opting of the movement to push her own agenda.
{{quotebox|“Please stop using [[Black Lives Matter]] for your political campaigns....I’m really sorry, I want to tax [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] too, I want to do all these things too, but this is not a movement for you to be politically active, for you to be [[politically correct]], and for you to gain all these votes. Please stop taking advantage of us.”}}
The speaker noted the whiteness of many speakers at recent protests. Protesters left City Hall chanting "Defund SPD" and headed back to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where protesters watched ''13th'', a documentary on the [[The New Jim Crow]].

A two-hour rally of an estimated 2,000 protesters gathered in the rain for a community meeting hosted by Sawant.
{{quotebox|“What we’ve defeated here is the political establishment of this city....You can never have zero police and an elimination of racism and oppression on the basis of capitalism."}}
A 30-point list of demands was published. “We demand the de-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control," etc.

Community members were subjected to barricades set up by the protesters with some armed individuals running them as checkpoints in the neighborhood, a police spokesman said. “While they have a constitutionally protected right to bear arms there is no legal right for those arms to be used to intimidate community members.” Residents described a small number of people armed with rifles who have been seen serving as guards. Many businesses and residential buildings in the so-called CHAZ hired private security staff. The entire area was lawless, and residents were left to fend for themselves. A social media posting from inside the illegally occupied territory read,
{{quotebox|"Due to the police not being able to respond for fear of reprisal and the shear amount of police resources required that makes it possible to have any presents in our area, residents needed to have an emergency plan that does not involve 911.

In [[Boston]], [[Progressive]]s defaced the 54th Regiment Memorial to black soldiers in the [[Civil War]] as Antifa protests moved through the city. A website dedicated to the memorial, which stands at the top of a hill on the Boston Common, explains:
{{Quotebox-float|The most acclaimed piece of sculpture on Boston Common is the Robert Gould Shaw and Massachusetts 54th Regiment Memorial by Augustus Saint-Gaudens; a memorial to that group of men who were among the first African Americans to fight in the Civil War. The monument portrays Shaw and his men marching down Beacon Street past the State House on May 28, 1863 as they left Boston on their way to South Carolina, Shaw erect on his horse, the men marching alongside.}}
The monument, which commemorates black lives dedicated and sacrificed to the struggle against slavery, was defaced with profane anti-police graffiti, as well as tributes to [[George Floyd]].<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/rioters-deface-monument-black-civil-war-veterans-served-union/</ref> The story of the 54th was immortalized in the Hollywood movie ''Glory'', for which [[Denzel Washington]] received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf ordered a [[hate crime]] investigation after Oakland Police identified five ropes they described as “nooses” hanging from trees at Lake Merrit, with the city government apparently believing that the ropes were akin to racial intimidation tactics and allusions to [[lynching]]s carried out by groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. The FBI was called in support of the investigation. A black man stepped forward stating that he and some of his friends installed the rope and small nooses merely for use as swings and exercise equipment. The nooses were used to attach a makeshift swing. “It’s unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to create a good time got misinterpreted," stating that he couldn't see how anyone would view the small ropes as a hangman's noose. The Democrat mayor however, refused to accept the word of a Black man and continued to claim the findings are indicative of a hate crime and continued the [[witchhunt]] for white supremacists invading Oakland.<ref>https://bigleaguepolitics.com/racial-panic-erupts-in-oakland-over-nooses-that-were-actually-exercise-equipment/</ref>

Dorn served on the [[St. Louis]] police force for 38 years. Dorn’ s personality was described as “bigger than life...a fun guy, a happy guy....He wanted them to do the right thing all the time." The Ethical Society of Police, which represents black officers in St. Louis, said in a news release that Dorn was “the type of brother that would’ve given his life to save them if he had to.”<ref>https://news.immitate.com/2020/06/03/beloved-st-louis-police-captain-killed-amid-unrest/</ref> Neighborhoods were set on fire.<ref>https://streamable.com/8lnd7v</ref>

Soros funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney [[Kim Gardner]], the city's prosecutor, said she would investigate a white couple for having the audacity to protect their home from violent Black Lives Matter thugs who tore down a gate and stormed their property. Gardner issued a search warrant to confiscate the firearms the couple used to defend themselves.

===Party for Socialism and Liberation===
The [[Marxist-Leninist]] pro-[[China]], [[Iran]], [[North Korea]], [[Cuba]], [[Venezuela]], and [[Russia]], [[Party for Socialism and Liberation]] has chapters in about 30 states. They also seek to exploit the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police, referring to this time in history as an “absolutely critical period” to impose their vision of a [[communist]] [[revolution]]:
{{quotebox|“The police will always fulfill their role of being shock troops for white supremacy and capitalism as long as it exists in this racist state.

“In this absolutely critical period, we sharpen our resolve to build organizations capable of waging militant [[class struggle]] against the racist state and their ruling class. … Amidst the deep crisis, the racist killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia, Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky. and Sean Reed in Indianapolis, Ind., make it clear that the protests and fight back must continue and intensify.”<ref>https://www.liberationnews.org/psl-statement-justice-for-george-floyd/</ref>}}

===Revolutionary Communist Party===
[[File:RCP USA.jpeg|right|150px]]
The [[Revolutionary Communist Party]] used the death of George Floyd at the hands of [[Minneapolis]] Police to call for “a movement for an actual [[revolution]].” They issued communique #6 titled, “Police murder after murder after murder… To YOU who are sick and tired of the madness, and ready to be part of a movement for an ACTUAL REVOLUTION”:
{{quotebox-float|“If you’re sick of watching video after video of these murders by police … you need to … join with a movement for an actual revolution, to prepare for a time when it will be possible to lead millions to bring this system down, and replace it with a new society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.”<ref>https://revcom.us/a/649/communique-6-police-murder-after-murder-after-murder-en.html</ref>}}

{{quotebox|“I don’t know if we took the meeting today. We were meeting with his main advisor on impeachment...Tom Steyer’s been retweeting some of our stuff."}}
Zee said the group was hoping to raise $2M to $5M to organize massive protests in major cities against President Trump. “You’re actually going to sustain millions of people, hundreds of thousands on the streets in certain cities,” Zee explained.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/video/debra-heine/2018/08/01/okeefe-catches-antifa-fight-instructors-teaching-activists-how-to-inflict-pain-on-their-targets-n91391</ref>

===Workers World Party===
Monica Moorehead of the [[Workers World Party]] (WWP) wrote an article May 28, 2020 titled, ''Against police violence and capitalism, to rebel is justified:''
{{quotebox|“Workers World salutes all the brave protesters in [[Minneapolis]], currently ground zero against police terror. We also salute those activists in [[Los Angeles]], [[Memphis]] and other cities who are organizing protests and braving the [[pandemic]] to be in the streets or in car caravans to show solidarity with the demand: Justice for George Floyd and all victims of police violence.”}}
Moorehead goes on to quote WWP founder Sam Marcy's defense of the 1992 Los Angeles riots—in which 63 people died:

For much of the 20th century, [[Detroit]] was the fourth largest city in the United States. Today it ranks as the 18th largest. Since five days of looting and burning in 1967, Detroit lost 60% of its population. Detroit never recovered from its riots. And unlike Minneapolis in 2020, Detroit in 1967 did not have elected officials sympathetic to lawlessness during and after the riots.

===Jonestown reborn===
Author Daniel Greenfield wrote:

[[Dianne Feinstein]] whose rise came on the heels of the Moscone/Milk murders. The Moscone/Milk murders and the tragedy at [[Jonestown]] are intimately connected in San Francisco's [[Progressive]] [[Democratic party]],<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzyXNWYmfXg Jim Jones, The Most Admired Democrat of The 1970s, Censored Info], youtube</ref> a fact kept hidden by the [[mainstream media]] for decades.]] "the viral videos of white millennials kneeling and confessing their privilege, are the [[People's Temple]] writ large on a nation. Jones, the son of a Klansman, who was inspired by a Communist-allied cult to build a following as a Marxist preacher of interracial brotherhood, joining the California Democrat establishment before going down in flames, has once again become the future....

The Peoples Temple used the [[moral]] drama of racism to create a racial conflict, playing on the guilt of white people and the fears of black people to divide them, threatening apocalypse and offering redemption through socialism. Racism was the source of Jones’ power. It was the primal sin and fear that he held over the heads of his followers to incite them to commit horrible crimes against each other....

There is no meaningful reckoning that Americans can make with 1619, but it is vitally important that there be a reckoning with the seventies as Jonestown is becoming a statewide and nationwide model....

The ultimate victims of Jonestown were largely black. That’s also true of the Democrat Party.

Jim Jones was the first to turn racism into a [[religion]]. The end of the Peoples Temple and Jonestown are instructive now that racism has become the national religion of Jones’ Democrat Party. The cult leader had told his followers that God was socialism and that a man was as godly as he embodied socialism. And Jones was the ultimate divinity because he was the embodiment of the Principle of Socialism which alone could reconcile the races and all of humanity to paradise by becoming the gods of socialism....

The Democrats and their [[media]] are telling the nation that burning and looting cities is the path to utopia....

Like [[Jim Jones]], the Democrats have no vision or [[hope]] to offer. Utopia has been replaced with pain and death. The screams of hate and the wrecked blocks in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are the nation’s Jonestowns. The country’s biggest cities have become failed experiments in social justice where the socialist cant is preached all the louder even as things only get worse.....

The arc of history points not to progress, but to [[Jonestown]]. The Joneses are torturing their followers with pandemic lockdowns, rioting, economic destruction, environmental impoverishment, and cultural collapse to sate their own sadistic impulses and to divert attention from the failures of their ideas.

All that’s left now is the grim death march through the opening of prisons, the normalization of crime, the [[Green New Deal]], socialized medicine, and the random crises met with tyranny on the way to utopia. At the end, the men and women who had followed Jones realized that the promise of a socialist kingdom of heaven on earth was a lie. There was no food. [[Bible]]s were being torn up for toilet paper. The only escape from the misery was death. That is also the great leftist vision for [[western civilization]]....

“There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?” [[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]] wondered.

The Democrats have perfected Jones’ trick of using racial guilt to empower a white elite to carry out the socialist schemes that make them feel like gods even as they impoverish, enslave, and destroy. But, just like in Jonestown, all anyone has to do is look at the carnage and ask, “Is this progress? Where’s utopia?” Are the burning cities, the kneeling mobs, and the terrorized people really leading to utopia?

Jim Jones was the socialist son of a Klansman who exploited and killed hundreds of black people. The Democrats are the socialist party of the Klan who exploited and killed hundreds of thousands of black people. When the Democrats claim to care about black lives, they take them in horrifying numbers."<ref>https://www.dcclothesline.com/2020/06/21/the-jonestowning-of-america/</ref>}}

===SDS, WUO, and Black Panthers reborn===
Antifa has a hundred-year plan in which they want to transform the United States into exactly the opposite of what it has been. Antifa has rallied an army around its objectives. People who "identify" as straight, white, males are excluded, and are being targeted clearly as the enemy, whom they deem as "fascists" and "colonizers", and whom they seek to eliminate.<ref>https://www.intellihub.com/intellihubs-shepard-ambellas-reveals-antifa-playbook-must-watch/</ref>

Antifa has drawn on the organizing principles and game plan of the [[SDS]], [[Weather Underground]] (WUO), and [[Black Panthers]] of the 1960s. Like the SDS, WUO, and Black Panthers they seek violent Marxist, and Maoist, revolution. The SDS was a million member band of students, predominantly white, from which a few hardcore, violent radicals were recruited which constituted the Weather Underground. Under Marxist and Maoist theory of communist revolution, the Black Panthers were designated as the spearhead of the revolution, with the predominantly white WUO and SDS as "support" groups.

Copying the 1960s model, Antifa is the modern violent, predominantly white, support group to the spearhead of Marxist revolution, Black Lives Matter. All these groups trace their organization and ideals from the veritable ant heap of American [[communist front]] organizations over the past fifty-plus years.

Marxist revolution in the 1960s and 1970s in America failed; however through tutoring and mentoring from oldtime believers, true dedicated Marxist revolutionaries study and learn from their previous failures. The question America faces today is, are the ordinary people who believe in democracy, freedom, and the goodness of America willing to stand up to senseless violence and criminals, and their corporate sponsors, who have the police and taxpaying citizens intimidated? Are Americans in 2020 willing to lay down and be slaves to communism? This is the objective that these [[community organizer]]s have been working toward for decades.

The attacks on the family and church are completed. The takeover of education and brainwashing in schools is complete. All that remains is violence in the street, and eliminating the enemies of revolution, which has already occurred in countless [[nation state]]s on the planet over the past 100 years. Now America faces on its own shores what it has fought to protect other peoples overseas from for the past century.

===Color revolutions are not about color===
Linda Goudsmit writes:<ref>http://goudsmit.pundicity.com/24540/color-revolutions-are-not-about-color</ref>
{{quotebox|[[Color revolution]] is a known tactical CIA operation that uses a seemingly spontaneous act as the precipitating event to destabilize a country and effect regime change. Color revolution is what is happening in America, and its front line soldiers are Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM).

"''America's Own Color Revolution''," a June 29, 2020, Geopolitics article explains how "Hundreds of thousands of young Americans are being used as a battering ram to not only topple a U.S. President, but in the process, the very structures of the U.S. Constitutional order."<ref>https://geopolitics.co/2020/06/29/americas-own-color-revolution/</ref>

The organization Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not about black lives. BLM is a Marxist organization disguised as a [[civil rights]] organization. Instead of improving race relations, BLM exploits racial tensions to collapse America from within and replace our [[constitutional republic]] with socialism/communism. BLM is the ultimate humanitarian hoax being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans who still believe that BLM cares about black lives. They don't.

Marxism, socialism, and communism are often used interchangeably, but Sandra Campbell clarifies the differences and shows how each builds on the other. "Marxism is the theoretical framework which lays the foundation for the economic and political philosophies of socialism and communism." Communism is the end game. . . . [[Karl Marx]] argued that [[capitalism]], with its strict adherence to [[free market]] principles, divided people because of competition. He believed communism was the solution."

The failure of Karl Marx's experiment is that in the real world, socialism and communism create the same centralized government with the same tyrannical, binary [[feudal]] structure of rulers and ruled. [[Globalism]] is centralized government on an internationalized planetary scale.

Now, back to race in America. Of course black lives matter - all lives matter in the United States of America! The foundation of life in the USA is that we all matter - all of us - white, black, blue, red, yellow, young, old, thin, fat, [[gay]], straight, [[Christian]], [[Jew]], [[Muslim]], [[Buddhist]], [[atheist]], etc etc etc. [...]

Our founding fathers rejected the tyranny of the aristocratic attitude that puts monarchs, emperors, oligarchs, caliphs, political elites, Hollywood glitterati, professional athletes, etc etc above the people. Ideologically, our founding fathers rejected the oppressive construct of rulers and ruled. Instead, they created a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our forefathers rejected the tyranny of elitism, and embraced the individual freedom and upward mobility of the people. They dreamed the American dream - the opposite of the ruler and ruled nightmare of Marxist socialism, communism, Islamism, and globalism.

Our founding fathers fought for our freedom from the British monarchy and prevailing social pyramid of the few privileged elite at the top ruling their enslaved subjects below. The American War of Independence replaced the binary socio-political structure of feudalism with a threefold system that embraces an upwardly mobile middle class. Our forefathers dreamed a more perfect union of inclusion.

The United States of America is the greatest experiment in individual freedom the world has ever known. "Only in America" is the phrase that captures the possibilities of freedom. For 232 years, United States Presidents tried various methods to achieve the American dream of equal opportunity and upward mobility. Then came Barack Hussein Obama, the anti-American president who tried to fundamentally transform America and kill the American dream.

[[Barack Obama]] was the most divisive president in U.S. history. His promise to fundamentally transform the United States was the insidious effort to destroy the American dream, and replace our decentralized constitutional republic with the centralized government of socialism.

What's wrong with socialism?

The problem with socialism, communism, [[Islamism]], and globalism, is that NO LIVES MATTER except the lives of the ruling elite! Citizens' individual rights and freedoms are forfeited to the state. The individual is not valued in [[collectivism]], only the state and what the state deceitfully labels "the greater good" matters.

Obama's eight anti-American presidential years were devoted to weakening the country. Obama's four anti-American post-presidential years were dedicated to overthrowing duly elected America-first President Donald Trump. Obama marketed his Marxist movement as "resistance." Obama's resistance movement is ideologically aligned with Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

BLM and Antifa are Marxist communist organizations leading the color revolution in America, attempting to destabilize the country and effect regime change. Out with America-first President Donald Trump, and in with communist China's puppet, Beijing Joe Biden.

Let's connect the dots and examine the picture that emerges. Follow the money - always follow the money.

John Haywood's June 11, 2020, Breitbart article, "The Complex Funding and Ideology of Black Lives Matter," is very informative. Despite BLM's attempt to present itself as a grassroots, humanitarian, civil rights organization, it is heavily funded by radical leftist corporate sponsors pushing Obama's anti-American Marxist agenda:

BLM's major financial supporters include:

Airbnb – $500,000 to BLM and the NAACP
Anastasia Beverly Hills fashions – $1 million pledged, $100,000 donated so far to groups including BLM
Bad Robot Productions – film studio involved in Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mission Impossible, $10 million pledged to "anti-racist" groups. BLM among the first recipients
BTS, a Korean pop group – $1 million, matching donations from fans
Cisco, electronics giant – $5 million to groups including BLM and its own Fighting Racism and Discrimination fund
DECIEM cosmetics – $100,000 to NAACP and BLM
Democracy Alliance – another Soros-linked group, added BLM to its annual $500 million donor list
Door Dash – food delivery company, $500,000
Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy – Left-wing groups that established a $100 million donor fund
George Soros' Open Society Foundation – $33 million
Glossier cosmetics – $500,000
Pokemon Company – owners of the popular card game and its characters, $100,000
Scopely – mobile phone game developer, $1 million to BLM, NAACP, and Equal Justice Initiative
Spanx – undergarment manufacturer, $100,000 to groups including BLM
Square Enix computer games – $250,000 to BLM, also matching employee donations
Ubisoft computer games – $100,000 to NAACP and BLM
The Weeknd – Canadian R&B singer, $250,000
This brings us to public enemy #1, the king of radical leftist Democrats, humanitarian huckster extraordinaire, George Soros—the principal funder of Antifa and BLM through his Open Society Foundation. Antifa and BLM should both be designated as domestic terrorist organizations. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kirk says, "The FBI should investigate to see who's doing this. Who's behind these groups? Because when you look up the definition of terrorism - threats, intimidation, and extreme violence or violence for political reasons - that's what these people are doing. . . .These aren't protesters. These people are paid radical left-wing anarchists that come to instigate and engage in extreme violence, arson, and looting."

Lew Rockwell's June 21, 2020 video, "The Soros 2020 Color Revolution Explained," is very instructive:

"They [Antifa and BLM] are created to disrupt and to continue the sowing of division. And in connected news earlier this year, Mr. Soros has launched his open societies University Network with a $1 billion gift and he will thus continue to help mold the thoughts of young people in the increasingly stifled halls of academia worldwide long after his death. While there is much back and forth, as to whether Mr. Soros has paid out of pocket for the mysterious flats of bricks conveniently left for looters and rioters to use in the recent round of violence, arson, looting and murder, it doesn't really matter.

"He has for decades helped build the infrastructure, the organization, and the command-and-control that can immediately be fielded, once a single case of police brutality is caught on video and within a few days, have cities put to the torch with elected government officials bending the knee to violent mobs while the corporate mainstream media cheers it all on from the sidelines."

Why are these corporate sponsors and radical leftist organizations so eager to support Antifa and BLM? Color revolutions and war on America are expensive, and the corporations who rely on cheap Chinese communist labor to manufacture their goods need Trump OUT.

America-first President Donald. J. Trump is the existential enemy of globalism, socialism, Islamism, and communism. He is committed to Americanism, American sovereignty, the U.S. Constitution, and the American dream. The enemies of America must remove America-first President Donald Trump in order to fundamentally transform America into socialism and then communism.

BLM and Antifa soldiers need money and materials to launch the next phase of their Marxist revolution after President Trump is reelected - armed insurrection. Marxist leader Angela Davis warned in a Vanity Fair interview that, "the violent BLM and Antifa protests across the country are the early stages of a far larger far-left 'revolution.'" Then what happens?

Then the unholy alliance of America's enemies including Marxists, leftists, socialists, globalists, Islamists, and communists will battle each other for dominance, unless they are denied ascendancy in November 2020. VOTER BEWARE!

All lives matter in Trump's constitutional America. Only elite lives matter in the 2020 radical leftist Democrat party.}}

ActBlue contributions comprise 99.64 percent of all funds raised for the “[[Biden for President]]” entity and the total is nearly 773 times greater than the group with the second-highest donation sum.

In response, the Democrats note that ActBlue is a fundraising gateway platform which each funding campaign maintaining separate accounts. So that even if the political camapaigns of Democratic candidates make up the vast majority of ActBlue's revenues, each campaign accounts for the funds that it raises separately with the [[Federal Election Commission]], and that funds raised by the BLM-related campaigns were paid directly to those organizations.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/donations-to-black-lives-matter-group-dont-go-to-dnc/|title=Donations to Black Lives Matter Group Don’t Go to DNC

===Bail fund scam===
The [[Minnesota Freedom Fund]] said it's spent “well over” $200,000 in bailing protesters and rioters out of jail — despite receiving more than $30 million in donations from Biden and Harris' fundraising efforts. The [[MFF]] issued a statement:
{{quotebox|“One week ago we were a small bail fund struggling to get anyone to listen about the harms of cash bail and pre-trial detention. We are now flooded with resources and we are going to take a beat while we marshal those. We have some big plays in mind.”<ref>http://archive.is/xQMVv</ref>}}
The donors demanded their money back. It is illegal for a non-profit organization to raise money under one pretext and to divert those funds to other uses.

The Louisville Bail Inititative, another Soros-connected entity, supplied riot gear to alleged demonstrators in a riot wherein two police officers were shot.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/09/24/u-haul-that-supplied-riot-gear-to-louisville-protesters-reportedly-rented-by-soros-connected-bail-project-976285</ref>

''[[The New York Post]]'' reported in early 2017:<ref>https://nypost.com/2017/02/11/how-obama-is-scheming-to-sabotage-trumps-presidency/</ref>
{{quotebox|When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.
In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.
He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.
Since Donald Trump’s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, “We’re not backing down.” Determined to salvage Obama’s legacy, it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change.}}
While Obama worried that Trump was now president, he left enough swamp rats in DC to keep his operation running. Still, he was forced to have a more hands-on approach to OFA than intended. The article continues:
{{Quotebox|Obama is intimately involved in [[OFA]] operations and even tweets from the group’s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump’s upset victory.
“It is fine for everybody to feel stressed, sad, discouraged,” he said in a conference call from the White House. “But get over it.” He demanded they “move forward to protect what we’ve accomplished.”
“Now is the time for some organizing,” he said. “So don’t mope.”
Far from sulking, OFA activists helped organize anti-Trump marches across US cities, some of which turned into riots. After Trump issued a temporary ban on immigration from seven terror-prone Muslim nations, the demonstrators jammed airports, chanting: “No ban, no wall, sanctuary for all!”
Run by old Obama aides and campaign workers, federal tax records show “nonpartisan” OFA marshals 32,525 volunteers nationwide. Registered as a 501(c)(4), it doesn’t have to disclose its donors, but they’ve been generous. OFA has raised more than $40 million in contributions and grants since evolving from Obama’s campaign organization Obama for America in 2013.
OFA, in IRS filings, says it trains young activists to develop “organizing skills.” Armed with Obama’s 2012 campaign database, OFA plans to get out the vote for Democratic candidates it’s grooming to win back Congress and erect a wall of resistance to Trump at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.<ref>https://nypost.com/2017/01/30/obama-says-hes-heartened-by-backlash-to-trumps-ban/</ref>}}

The cops are going to be the ones that are getting f–ing beaten in Milwaukee. They’re going to call out the [[National Guard]] for that s–t.

===Biden Putsch===
:{{See also|Biden Putsch}}
Biden Putsch organizers called for riots beginning Election night, November 3, 2020 using their trademark Marxist coded language.
{{quotebox|almost every strategy to protect the democratic process is dependent on mass mobilization, and in particular, on people taking peacefully to the streets in large numbers, potentially for an extended period. Large, base-building groups on the [[progressive]] side will need to anchor this strategy, but their success will likely depend on supporting and resourcing new and emerging racial justice leaders, many of whom are not affiliated with formal institutions and [[coalition]]s.<ref>https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/36948-soros-linked-org-prepares-for-election-coup-calls-for-mass-street-uprisings</ref>}}
"People taking peacefully to the streets" is language intended to recruit children, mothers, the elderly, and peaceful minority civil rights protesters to march in the front line as cannon fodder and human shields for anarchists and Marxists behind them who toss Molotov cocktails at police, set diversionary fires, and smash windows to set off looting. "Emerging racial justice leaders" are spontaneous mob leaders who then must be either recruited into the Marxist hierarchy, compromised or blackmailed, or otherwise neutralized if they resist the agenda of the overall Marxist movement.

A key element to understanding Marxism is to know what "trained Marxists" already know, and that is, in large crowds otherwise ordinary rational people are capable of doing things that as an individual they would never imagine. The trained Marxist uses this incitement to mob mentality to sacrifice innocent "peaceful protesters" to gain power for themselves.

{{quotebox|"Leftists do not give a rat’s derriere about black empowerment or black lives. They view blacks as [[useful idiot]]s towards transforming America into their socialist/communist utopia in which anything goes sexually.

A huge elephant in the room is how long will the white majority tolerate being repeatedly poked in the eye with a hot poker of racial hate by BLM; demanded to kneel in worship to blacks? While claiming to be against racial hate, leftists are intentionally generating such hate. They believe voters will blame Trump and vote against him in November.

Evidence that leftists are lying about America being eternally racist is everywhere for anyone willing to see it. Eager to heal our nation from the wounds of slavery and racial discrimination, white America excitedly allowed a black man to bypass the usual vetting process for a presidential candidate. They gifted Obama two terms in the White House. Naive whites believed electing a black president would usher in a new era in which they could never be called “racist” again. Democrats and [[fake news]] media used [[Obama]]’s skin-color as a bludgeon to beat Republicans into submission, giving Obama free rein to implement their agenda to transform America into a socialist nation.

Here’s another example of the good-hearted nature and generosity of the American people. Fake news media and Democrats promoted the lie that Republicans and white America did not care about the victims of [[Hurricane Katrina]] because they were mostly black. The truth is U.S. donors opened their hearts, giving $4.2 billion to victims of Katrina which is believed to be the highest amount ever....

I would love for the [[Tea Party]] buses to roll again. Frankly, thus far, the funding is simply not there. Yes, I have been contacted by concerned Americans who are eager to donate. However, a tour needs a major donor to get the ball rounding.

While we struggle to find funding for a bus tour to inspire and encourage Trump’s base, BLM has a war-chest of mega-millions to destroy America and block Trump’s reelection. There is something terribly wrong with this picture.

Another thing causing my head to explode is of the pandering to BLM… an evil and demonic hate group. In compliance with BLM, pastors are telling their white congregations to own up to their white privilege. My response is, “Stop it!

We recommend that the President convene a meeting immediately at the Pentagon to be attended by the senior Defense leaders, Secretaries and four-star Generals and Admirals.

Collectively speaking, Americans are peaceful people who will try every non-violent solution before we, ourselves, resort to any kind of violence. It’s the way we’ve done things before our nation’s founding. Even our most famous moments of defiance of authority were incredibly polite. But Americans have also proved that once the sleeping giant is awakened, whoever is on the receiving end of its wrath will suffer. Whatever we do in return is going to hurt and it’s going to hurt badly....

Antifa, despite being made up of [[middle-class]] white kids, may not have understood this as its playbooks and historical knowledge all seem to be imported from nations that fell to communism. It’s not concerned with American history or how it’s people really think or act. Perhaps they thought that this “revolutionary” attitude and the violent, destructive methods that came with it were really going to pave the way for a systemic shift to the hard-left.

They probably moved with all confidence seeing as how their extremist actions rarely resulted in any real punishment. Hell, they were taught they could conduct hostile takeovers of a section of an entire city and the authorities would back off....

Antifa’s real power lies in how well it can sell the idea that it’s a powerful group, but has no real power to begin with.

*Whether a jurisdiction has withdrawn law enforcement protection from a geographical area or structure that law enforcement officers are lawfully entitled to access but have been officially prevented from accessing or permitted to access only in exceptional circumstances, except when law enforcement officers are briefly withheld as a tactical decision intended to resolve safely and expeditiously a specific and ongoing unlawful incident posing an imminent threat to the safety of individuals or law enforcement officers.
*Whether a jurisdiction disempowers or defunds police departments.
*Whether a jurisdiction unreasonably refuses to accept offers of law enforcement assistance from the Federal Government.
*Any other related factors the Attorney General deems appropriate.

On September 21, 2020 the [[Department of Justice]] identified New York, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon as [[anarchist jurisdiction]]s.<ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-identifies-new-york-city-portland-and-seattle-jurisdictions-permitting</ref>

====New York City====
*Shootings in New York City have been on the rise since looting and protests began on or about May 28, 2020. For July 2020, shootings increased from 88 to 244, an increase of 177% over July 2019. In August 2020, shootings increased from 91 to 242, a 166% increase over August 2019.
*While the city faced increased unrest, gun violence, and property damage, the New York City Council cut $1 billion from NYPD's FY21 budget.
*The budget resulted in the cancellation of the new police recruiting class, cuts to overtime spending, and the transfer of certain police functions, including school safety, out of the NYPD.
*Meanwhile, the Manhattan and Brooklyn District Attorneys have declined to prosecute charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly arising from the protests, and the District Attorneys in Queens and the Bronx have declined to prosecute other protest-related charges.
*Both Mayor de Blasio and Governor [[Andrew Cuomo]] have forcefully rejected federal law enforcement support.

====Portland, Oregon====
*In September 2020 Portland marked 100 consecutive nights of protests marred by vandalism, chaos, and even killing.
*Those bent on violence regularly started fires, threw projectiles at law enforcement officers, and destroyed property. Numerous law enforcement officers, among others, suffered injury.
*Shootings increased by more than 140% in June and July 2020 compared to the same period last year.
*In the midst of this violence, the Portland City Council cut $15 million from the police bureau, eliminating 84 positions. Crucially, the cuts included the Gun Violence Reduction Team, which investigates shootings, and several positions from the police team that responds to emergency incidents.
*In August, Portland Mayor Wheeler sent a letter to President Trump expressly rejecting the Administration's offer of federal law enforcement to stop the violent protests.

====Seattle, Washington====
*For nearly a month, starting in June, the City of Seattle permitted anarchists and activists to seize six square blocks of the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood, naming their new enclave the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) and then the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” (CHOP).
*Law enforcement and fire fighters were precluded from entering the territory. The Seattle Police Department was ordered to abandon their precinct within the CHOP.
*Person-related crime in the CHOP increased 525% from the same period of time in the same area the year before, including by Mayor Durkan's own count “two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings).”
*The CHOP was allowed to stand for nearly a month, during which time two teenagers were shot and killed in the zone.
*The Seattle City Council, Mayor Durkan, and Washington Governor Jay Inslee publicly rejected federal involvement in law enforcement activities within the city of Seattle.

'''Anti-Semitism''' (or '''antisemitism''') is [[discrimination]] against, [[Hate|hatred]] against, or criticism of [[Jews]], Jewish culture, or the state of [[Israel]], or Semitic ethnic groups such as Arabs, Assyrians, and Samaritans. As a word it is first recorded in the English language in 1882,<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/antisemitism</ref> but as an idea and argument of hatred examples exist from much earlier times. It was Wilhelm Marr (1819–1904), a German agitator who coined the term ''"anti-semitism"'' in 1879.

==Origins of Anti-Semitism==
The first Christians were Jews, including Jesus Christ. The story of Jesus was remembered and retold in the synagogues. Splits appeared very soon after the death of Jesus between the [[Pharisees]] and the Revisionist Jews. The [[Gospel of John]] was written quite soon after he and other revisionist Jews were barred from the [[synagogue]] by the Orthodox party. The references to Jews in the Gospel according to St John does not refer to Jews as a whole, but to the Pharisees. However, this was not well understood by later readers, and once the early generations of Jews had died out John's gospel was often used to justify acts of anti-Semitism.

==Blood Libel==
One of the oldest instances of anti-Semitic claims was made in the first century AD by Apion who claimed Jews sacrificed Greeks in their temple in a type of accusation known as a "blood libel".

The "Blood libel" myth reappeared in England in 1144, after [[William of Norwich]] was found murdered. William was called a martyr and created a second wave of anti-semitism, this time in Europe. It was mostly popularized with the story of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and was even present in the [[Canterbury Tales]]. This continued on for many centuries until modern times. This "blood libel" accusation has survived the centuries and is today seen in [[Islam]]ic anti-Semitic propaganda.

==Middle Ages==
In the [[Middle Ages]], Catholics blamed Jews for the death of Jesus Christ. This fueled Christian antipathy against Jews in most of Europe. This also led to rumors that Jews "desecrated the host" (tortured [[communion]] bread as per the [[Catholic]] doctrine of [[transubstantiation]]), and that they "poisoned the wells", leading to the [[Black Death]]. Another element that resulted in Jewish persecution was some quotations from the Talmud that had the Rabbis making various claims inferring that the Virgin Mary was a prostitute who had pre-marital relations with a Roman Centurion that resulted in Jesus's birth, and also claimed that Jesus (titled "Yeshu" in the Talmud as an insult<ref>https://jewsforjesus.org/newsletter-mar-2008/y-shua-or-yeshu</ref>) was boiling in hot excrement for all eternity,<ref>http://answering-christianity.com/jews1.htm</ref><ref>http://www.answering-christianity.com/jews2.htm</ref><ref>http://www.halakhah.com/gittin/gittin_57.html</ref> especially after the Jewish convert Nicolas Donin exposed these passages in 1239.<ref>http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/a028htJPII_VisitToSynagogue1986.htm</ref><ref>http://exodusmyth.com/2017/02/18/the-truth-about-the-talmud-michael-hoffman/</ref> It didn't help that Christians expelled practitioners of Judaism from various places. Professing Jews were expelled from England in 1290, from France in 1306, and from Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1496. (Those who converted to Christianity could remain.) Many went to Holland and Poland. Napoleon removed most of the restrictions that kept Jews in ghettoes in Germany.

==1800–1914==
===New nationalism===
Secular nationalism became a trend in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a result, anti-Semitism was transformed in the 19th century from a matter of religion to a matter of language and culture. Each "nation" rediscovered its historic language and culture and tried to establish a national homeland. However, this did not remove old biases against Jews in Europe. In most cases, Jews were excluded or distrusted and were not treated as part of the cultural center but as part of the periphery. Anti-Semitic references were common in the popular literature of both the 19th and early 20th centuries. It became more "scientific", and often connected with pseudo-scientific racial theories. The most notable example being the theory of [[evolution]].

===Germany===
In Germany, leading 19th century anti-Semites include composer [[Richard Wagner]] and his son-in-law writer [[Houston Stewart Chamberlain]].

Historians have long debated whether or not the Anti-Semitism of imperial Germany directly prepared the ideological climate for Nazism. One way of testing the thesis of direct continuity is to examine how Judeophobes proposed to solve the "Jewish problem" in the Second Reich, 1870-1914. At that time, most anti-Semites stopped short of calling for the exclusion of Jews from German society, and in fact, many advocated full integration. A handful of exclusionists, believing in the preordained struggle with the Jews and being pessimistic about getting them to leave Germany, did, however, plant the seeds of genocide.<ref>Donald L. Niewyk, "Solving The 'Jewish Problem': Continuity and Change in German Antisemitism, 1871-1945." ''Leo Baeck Institute. Year Book'' 1990 35: 335-370.</ref>

===Socialism===
Leftist scholars examining the connection between socialism and anti-Semitism before 1914 generally have assumed that capitalist exploitation of the workers was responsible for the "Jewish question," and that the labor movement was largely immune to anti-Semitism. At a deeper level, factors such as retarded economic development in Central and Eastern Europe, Christian cultural traditions, the fragility of political liberalism outside Western Europe, the intensity of national conflicts and the quality of leadership and class consciousness among the proletariat led to anti-Semitism in Russia, Germany, France and Britain before 1914.

===Austria===
The national government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire deliberately protected Jews from violent Anti-Semitism. However, popular antipathy toward Jews was more deeply rooted and stubborn in Austria than in most European countries. Reasons included slow development of a secular, pluralist society based on individual rights and open career opportunities; survival of corporatist ideas of economic organization; replacement of the multinational ideal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by political division and ethnic antagonism; and the conspicuous role of individual Jews in finance capitalism, mass media, arts, and radical politics.

Karl Lueger, the popular mayor of Vienna (1897–1910) and routinely used high powered Anti-Semitic rhetoric. It caught the attention of one young resident, Adolf Hitler, who had come from Linz. But there was no action takes against Jews, who played a major role in Vienna's cultural and business life. Lueger operated within a strong national government that tolerated Jews. The Habsburg dynasty did not allow significant anti-Jewish actions in its domains. The inviolate character of the Rechtsstaat and of a political culture based on law still existed. Mass violence within this political system was rare, and economic life was not yet caught up in the disastrous economic cycles of the post-1918 era. All these structural factors were serious barriers to the translation of anti-Semitic rhetoric in Vienna from words into deeds during the Habsburg era. In the 1930s, however, as Austria became culturally and politically dominated by its northern neighbor, Vienna became increasingly hostile, and many Jews fled even before the Nazis marched in and took over in 1938.

Anti-Semitism was an integral part of the political platform of the Austrian Socialist Left before 1914. Given the depths of anti-Jewish feelings among the Austrian masses, the Socialists endeavored to woo the working class from right-wing political parties through employing the latter's anti-Semitic arguments concerning Jewish control of the Austrian economy. This approach was even utilized by such Socialists of Jewish background as Victor Adler. Once Lueger's anti-Semitic party gained control of the Vienna municipal government in 1897, the Socialist press attacked him and his associates for their alleged lack of fidelity to their anti-Semitic principles through covert dealings with the Jewish upper class.

===Russia===
Alone among the major European nations, Russia in the 19th century did not emancipate its Jewish subjects. Popular anti-Semitism (which had an anti-capitalist bias) proceeded from, and flourished with the support of, anti-Jewish laws and official policies that tried either to forcibly integrate Jews into or to segregate them from the rest of Russian society - especially rural society. Pogroms – systematic slaughters of thousands of Jews in certain areas — happened in clusters, as in 1881-82 and 1905–06, and were related to severe political crises involving the issue of Jewish emancipation.

===Italy===
Anti-Semitism played a far smaller role in Italy than in other European countries. One possible explanation is the high degree of assimilation achieved by the Italian Jewish community. However, assimilation elsewhere in Europe was not a bar to anti-Semitism. A more plausible reason is the lateness of industrialization, which meant that the lower middle classes did not fall victim to the economic and social anxieties experienced by the petite bourgeoisie of Germany and France. Other factors are the extremely small numbers of Italian Jews, the ethnically homogeneous nature of the Italian population, which meant that the Italians did not suffer from the paranoid insecurity of Germans who were confronted by large minorities within their borders, and Italy's long history of not succumbing to xenophobia and its weak race consciousness.

===France===
[[Alfred Dreyfus]] (1859–1935) was a Jewish officer in the French Army falsely accused of spying in the 1890s. The Dreyfuss Affair became a central issue in French politics, with critics like Émile Zola—who creed "[[J'accuse]]"—insisting it was a miscarriage of justice brought by a conspiracy of Catholic army officers. Dreyfuss was proven innocent and released in 1899.

==1914–1945==
Anti-Semitism was the core belief of [[Adolf Hitler]] and the Nazis (National Socialists), helping them gain power in Germany in 1933 and leading to their murder of six million Jews during the [[Holocaust]] of World War II.

In the 1920s [[Henry Ford]]'s newspaper, ''The Dearborn Independent'', reprinted the false ''[[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|Protocols of the Elders of Zion]]''. Ford publicly apologized to Jews.

American aviator [[Charles Lindbergh]] disparaged Jews at a critical debate over intervention in the war in Europe in 1940. He led the "[[America First]]" movement opposed to war. He suggested the drive to war was orchestrated by Jews and would hurt the U.S.

The modern [[Democratic party]] of the [[United States]] and its leadership is pervaded with anti-Semitism in the 21st century.

==Post 1945==
Following World War II there was a steady decline of anti-Semitism, and a virtual disappearance of discrimination against Jews, in North America and Western Europe. Despite an apparent resurgence in Russia and Eastern Europe after the collapse of communism and occasional outbreaks elsewhere, anti-Semitism outside the Middle East by the early 1990s was only one - and a relatively minor - type of the xenophobia found in multiethnic, multicultural societies.

Anti-Semitism was in total disrepute after the fall of Nazi Germany in 1945. After 1945 Anti-Semitism was not significantly greater in Germany than in Britain or France. For some years after 1945, the overwhelming majority of Jews in Germany were refugees and displaced persons from the East. Most of them emigrated to Israel, North and South America, or Australia, leaving behind small numbers who would not or could not leave. Some German Jews had "assimilated" and were criticized by Eastern Jews as being too lax in their religious observance, but all Jews faced problems arising from questions of reparations and remembrances of the Holocaust. Democratic [[West Germany]] admitted its guilt and made large-scale financial reparations to Israel. Communist [[East Germany]], however, denied everything, opposed Israel and promoted anti-Semitism as the Nazis before them had.

===United States===

Republican President [[Richard Nixon]] hurt his reputation after recordings of informal conversations laden with racial slurs and invective known as the [[Watergate Tapes]] were made public. These informal comments about Jewish control of the media and calling Robert Vesco "a cheap kike" among other comments suggested to Nixon critics that his views were informed by a mistrust of Jewish culture.<ref>http://hnn.us/articles/657.html</ref> Nixon defenders note his support of [[Israel]] during the [[Yom Kippur War]] and his many Jewish friends and associates such as [[Henry Kissinger]], [[Herb Stein]] and others.<ref>http://www.slate.com/id/1003783/</ref>

In 1958, the [[American Nazi Party]] was founded by [[George Lincoln Rockwell]], who is known for his Holocaust denial and racist positions.

In 1984, [[Democrat Party]] presidential candidate, and noted liberal, [[Jesse Jackson]] uttered anti-Semitic slurs to a reporter for the ''Washington Post'' when discussing the state of African-American and Jewish relations, which had been a key [[New Deal Coalition]] for half a century. Jackson is reported to have referred to Jews as "Hymies", and to New York City as "Hymietown". Jackson apologized, but it was never forgotten.<ref>[http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=187440 Jesse and the Jews], Michael W. Hirschorn, ''The Harvard Crimson'', March 05, 1984.</ref> Mayor Ed Koch even said that any Jews who vote for Jackson in 1988 were "crazy".

The Left has falsely tried to claim that most anti-Semitism comes from the Right, and that it is increasing, something the Israeli government has rejected.<ref>Glick, Caroline (November 2, 2018).

The [[U.S. State Department]] ''Report on Global Anti-Semitism'' in 2005 said this about the current state of anti-Semitism worldwide:

:Beginning in 2000, verbal attacks directed against Jews increased while incidents of vandalism... surged. Physical assaults including beatings, stabbings and other violence against Jews in Europe increased markedly, in a number of cases resulting in serious injury and even death. Also troubling is a bias that spills over into anti-Semitism in some of the [[leftist|left-of-center]] press and among some intellectuals.

:The United States is frequently included as a target of such attacks, which often assert that U.S. foreign policy is made in Israel or that Jews control the media and financial markets in the United States and the rest of the world. ...Similarly, allegations that Jews were behind the [[9/11]] attacks were widely disseminated, especially in the Islamic world.<ref>[http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/40258.htm Report on Global Anti-Semitism], U.S. Department of State Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on International Relations, Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, January 5, 2005.</ref>

Former [[President of the United States|U.S. president]] [[Jimmy Carter]] has recently come under much criticism for his writings and comments that have been viewed as anti-Semitic. In his book, "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid", Carter endorsed Islamic terrorism against Israel as a tactic to achieve political ends. The sentiment was widely criticized by people across the political spectrum. In early 2007, it was revealed that Carter once complained there were "too many Jews" on the U.S. government's Holocaust Memorial Council. The council's former executive director, Monroe Freedman, also revealed that a noted Holocaust scholar who was a Presbyterian Christian was rejected from the council's board by Carter because the scholar's name "sounded too Jewish." <ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/staticarticles/article53954.html</ref>

While the contemporary American left's hatred for Jews and Jewish traditions has been documented, others who were on the right have been ostracized by conservative commentators. [[William F. Buckley]], Jr., founder and publisher of the ''National Review'' said of [[Reform Party]] presidential candidate and former Nixon speechwriter [[Patrick Buchanan]], "I find it impossible to defend Pat Buchanan against the charge that what he did and said during the period under examination amounted to anti-Semitism..." referring to comments Buchanan made regarding the U.S. involvement in the first [[Gulf War]] which lead to military action against [[Saddam Hussein]] and [[Iraq]].<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n24_v43/ai_11810753 In search of anti-semitism], William F.

Anti-semitism has been growing rapidly at a phenomenal rate in Liberal countries, especially European countries.

It has also been growing amongst liberals in the United States of America, The Institute for Jewish & Community Research, did a study of who is anti-Semitic, and found that people who identify as Democrats are consistently more likely to believe any anti-Semitic belief than are Republicans. The data from the survey also revealed a connection between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. This is important since liberals are more likely to be anti-Zionist than conservatives. The study found that the young, who are more likely to be liberal, are also more likely to be anti-Semites than people over age 35. The study found that more than 75% of Democrats hold at least one anti-Semitic belief. According to the study 20% of Democrats believe Jews care only about themselves.<ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30503</ref>

Recently, [[liberal]] [[Agnosticism|agnostic]] [[Richard Dawkins]] (see: [[Richard Dawkins and agnosticism]]) came under criticism for saying that the Religious Jews monopolize control over the American government.

Many left-wing anti-Semites claim to love Jews while condemning Zionism and Israel, though their comments in relation to Judaism shown otherwise.<ref>Brog, David (January 21, 2019).

Putting a name of a company or person in '''triple parentheses''' (((example))), is a way of singling out Jews used by anti-semites. It's also called a 'echo', and anti-Semites claim that it shows how Jews' actions 'echo' through time. There was an extension for Google Chrome called the '[[Coincidence Detector]]' that put over 2,000 Jewish names in triple parentheses. It reached 2,500 downloads before being removed for hate speech.

Jewish people have attempted to reclaim the symbol by intentionally marking themselves with the symbol. In response, anti-Semites marked themselves with the symbol backwards to show their hatred for Jews, )))example(((.

'''Idaho''' is a state in the USA, becoming the 43rd state to enter the Union on July 3, 1890. It is to the south of [[Canada]], to the north of [[Nevada]], to the west of [[Montana]] and to the east of [[Washington]] and [[Oregon]]. Idaho is known for producing [[potato]]es.

The state Constitution of Idaho, like all of the other 50 states, acknowledges God or our Creator or the ''Sovereign Ruler of the Universe''. It says:
:''We, the people of the state of Idaho, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, to secure its blessings and promote our common welfare do establish this Constitution.''

==Politics==
Idaho is strongly conservative, with the [[Republican Party]] dominating federal and state elections there since achieving statehood.

==Counties==
===Idaho County===
Much of Idaho is sparsely populated. As an example of the [[low population density]] in [[the West]], one can cite [[Idaho County]], Idaho: This one [[county]] measures 8,485 square miles-bigger than [[Connecticut]] and [[Rhode Island]] combined. But it has a [[population]] of just 15,400. And of those residents, roughly 3,300 people live in [[Grangeville, Idaho|Grangeville]], the county seat. Who lives in the rest of the county? There are far more [[deer]] and [[elk]] than there are people. The [[population density]] of the county is 1.8 people per square mile. The county has more than 3 million [[acre]]s of [[United States Forest Service]] [[land]], [[BLM]] land, and designated [[federal]] [[wilderness]] areas.

==Higher education==
Three major universities are located in Idaho. In the city of Moscow, in northwestern Idaho on the border of [[Washington]], is the [[University of Idaho]]. [[Boise State University]], located in southwestern Idaho in the city of [[Boise]], is the biggest and most well known University. In the city of Pocatello, [[Idaho State University]] can be found. Recently, Boise State University has had great success in NCAA football, winning their first BCS Bowl game this past winter with their thrilling Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma.<ref>[http://www.keepmedia.com/pubs/MiamiHerald/2007/01/02/2425157?extID=10051 FIESTA BOWL | BOISE STATE 43, OKLAHOMA 42 (OT): Broncos stun Sooners], ''accessed March 29, 2007''</ref>

==Miscellaneous facts==
The capital and largest city of Idaho is Boise.

The state is known as the Gem state.

The name "Idaho" is almost certainly a word made up by lobbyist George Willing, who falsely claimed it was a word in the Shoshone language.<ref>http://www1.relocate-america.com/states/id/</ref>

The movie ''Napoleon Dynamite'' was set in Idaho, and the Idaho State House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring the movie.<ref>http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/2005/HCR029.html</ref>

==Notable people from Idaho==

* [[Philo Farnsworth]], a pioneer of television, was from Rigby.

* [[W. Mark Felt]], who admitted to being the government source that exposed President [[Richard Nixon]] in the [[Watergate Affair]], was born in Twin Falls.

* Author [[Ernest Hemingway]] lived in Ketchum.

* [[Ezra Pound]], a notable Modernist poet, was born in Hailey.

Transsexual

Sievert 81:

A '''transsexual''' is a person who has had, or plans to obtain, an [[anthropomorphic]] [[sex change]], and many are involved in [[transgender activism]]. It is a form of [[gender confusion]].

Biologically, a transsexual can be defined as a person who has a [[gender identity]] that differs from their own [[primary sex characteristic]]s. In order to obtain a [[sex change]], established international medical standards require someone to be treated for [[gender identity disorder]] for at least one year, with unsuccessful resolution of the medical disorder without surgical means, and it is intended to stop insane people and crossdressers from getting SRS, as it would cause harm to their mental health. It is intended to be used only as a last resort, when all other therapies have failed.<ref>http://www.wpath.org/Documents2/socv6.pdf</ref>

Transsexuals do not occur in [[nature]];<ref>A [[caveat]]: approximately 1 in every 2000-5000 births, depending on which study is cited, are born ''intersex'' or ''hermaphrodite''. These however, are born, not anthropomorphic or surgically altered.</ref> they are created by cosmetic surgeons and [[Pharmacology|pharmaceutical]] [[hormone]] treatment. Scientific and philosophical research is increasingly showing that sex changes do not change one's actual gender in a substantial way.<ref>Richardson, Bradford (February 28, 2018).

Specified risk material

Sievert 81: move this, it's the wrong spelling

{{move|Specified risk material}}

A '''specified risk material''' is a part of an animal that is considered by a regulatory agency to be most likely to be contaminated with prions in the event the animal was infected by a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]]. In cows, SRMs are defined as: skull, brain, trigeminal ganglia (nerves attached to brain and close to the skull exterior), eyes, spinal cord, distal ileum (a part of the small intestine), and the dorsal root ganglia (nerves attached to the spinal cord and close to the vertebral column) of cattle aged 30 months or older. SRMs are generally disposed of or used to feed prion resistant animals. In countries classified as undetermined risk, the OIE code recommends SRM removal as follows: tonsils and intestines in cattle at all ages; brains, eyes, spinal cord, skull and vertebral column from animals over twelve months of age. While SRM removal deals with most ofthe [[prion]]s, people can still be infected.

PrPres

PrPres, also known as PrPSc, is a [[prion]] [[isoform]] of [[PrP]], or PrPc. It is the sole cause of [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]]. The name comes from 'prion protein resistant', meaning it is resistant to [[proteinase K]]. PrPres is able to convert healthy PrPc into copies of itself. These prions are neurotoxic.

Kuru

2020-12-07T01:17:16Z

Sievert 81:

'''Kuru''' is a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]] that was first discovered in the [[Fore people]]. Until the early 1960s, kuru was fairly common in Papua New Guinea. This is because people would preform ritual cannibalism, a practice that was common in the Fore people. Kuru probably started when prion-contaminated tissues from a person with sporadic [[Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease]] were eaten. Kuru was more common among the female members of the tribe, due to them being given the brain, the most infectious part. PrPres is most concentrated in the brain. After the 1950s, ritual cannibalism was banned. This resulted in kuru being mostly eliminated. However, some cases occurred in the 1990s. This is because the disease, like all TSEs, can incubate for up to 60 years.

The first symptoms of kuru include loss of coordination (ataxia), difficulty walking, and shaking (tremors) that resembles shivering (kuru means to shake). Involuntary movements and stiff muscles, as well as random mood changes and laughing happen next. Most people with kuru die within 24 months after symptoms appear, usually as a result of pneumonia or infection due to bedsores (pressure sores). There is no cure for kuru.

'''Uncyclopedia''' is a parody encyclopedia project created in January 2005<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20110108053209/http://www.netmag.co.uk/zine/discover-interview/the-brains-behind-uncyclopedia</ref> to lampoon [[Wikipedia|Wikipedia's]] extensive coverage, by mirroring their style of articles. As of July 2019, it has over 32,000 articles.<ref>http://uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Special:Statistics</ref> Popular topics parodied include [[Global warming]], [[Evolution]] and [[Creation]], the [[Bush]] administration, [[Conservapedia]], and popular culture. A recurring old joke on the site is making up [[Oscar Wilde]] quotes as well as quotes by [[Chuck Norris]], Captain Obvious, [[Kanye West]], and Russian Reversals.

Uncyclopedia's userbase, despite being a parody of [[Wikipedia]], supports much of the same liberal material that Wikipedia does, but in a hidden way. It was hosted by [[Wikia]], [[Jimbo Wales]]' for-profit webhost, until 14 May 2019. Its lack of standards results in an obviously liberal stance, and much of their satire is directed at Christian and Conservative values. In particular, their article on Conservapedia is composed mostly of hate speech, blatant lies, and labeling Conservatives as "retards". In addition, they attack creationism using a "pro-creationist" article, which mocks creationism by phrases like "evolution will get you sent straight to hell" and "Darwin was a **** Satanist". As 2011, very few pages are in their "Liberal" category.

On January 5, 2013, the majority of Uncyclopedia's userbase migrated to an independent fork located at en.uncyclopedia.co after a long history of disputes with Wikia.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20170706151550/http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Official_Move_Date_Announced:January_5th</ref> On 14 May 2019, Wikia shut down uncyclopedia.wikia.com due to violations of their content policy, and it was moved to independent hosting and the domain uncyclopedia.ca.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190512232714/http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Uncyclopedia_is_moving#mw-content-text</ref><ref>https://risteq.net/wikis/2019-eviction-uncyclopedia.php</ref>

Uncyclopedia is far from family friendly; it contains many offensive words and images in its articles. Shortly after [[Jerry Falwell]] died (15 May 2007), Uncyclopedia presented an article with the following highly offensive statements:

{{QuoteBox|'''BREAKING NEWS!''' 
'''Jerry Falwell has died.''' 
'''DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD, THE WITCH IS DEAD, THE WITCH IS DEAD, DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD, THE MEAN OL' WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!'''}}

{{QuoteBox|Dr. (it is a little known fact that he earned six PhDs) Jerry Fartwell (born: Breadline Era, died: Nappy Headed Imus Era) was a fat [obscenity deleted] bastard and famous mongoloid who re-instituted the hangman's noose in Lynchburg, Virginia (1956).}}

'''''Update'':''' Uncyclopedia finally deleted the Jerry Falwell article on 10 November 2007.<ref>http://uncyclopedia.co/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Jerry_Falwell</ref>

Uncyclopedia also has an article labeled "Bad Right Wing Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense".<ref>http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Bad_Right_Wing_Jokes_and_Other_Deleted_Nonsense</ref> This is an example of Uncyclopedian censorship. Material that is considered serious is generally deleted because it isn't considered humorous.

Articles at Uncyclopedia may also be deleted by being placed on QVFD (Quick Votes For Deletion)<ref>http://uncyclopedia.co/wiki/QVFD</ref><ref>http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/QVFD</ref> or VFD (Votes For Deletion).<ref>http://uncyclopedia.co/wiki/VFD</ref><ref>http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/VFD</ref> The difference between the two pages is that only new pages may be put on QVFD and it only takes one administrator vote to delete the page on QVFD, whereas older pages that are not featured may be put on VFD, and it takes 4 or 5 votes net in favor of deletion to delete a page on VFD. Only registered users are permitted to vote on VFD.

Uncyclopedia features an article titled 'Conservatroll' in which it explains how to vandalize Conservapedia and gives a point system for it.

[[File:Scrapie prions.jpg|thumbnail|right|An image with PrP immunostained. Note how they move between neurons.]]
'''PrP''', also known as the prion protein or PrPc, is a protein in the brain of most animals. The purpose of it is still debated today. Most scientists believe it has to do with cognition, the [[Circadian rhythm]], or the immune system. Studies show that while they are semi-important in mice, they are not important in [[cow]]s. It is currently unknown if they are important in humans, however it is likely they are due to the existence of [[fatal familial insomnia]]. PrP has prion isoforms called PrPres. Misfolding of PrP is the cause of all [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]] diseases. PrPres is highly resistant to [[protease]] digestion, radiation, and temperature. Heating to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit is the only known way to destroy them.

[[File:Sheep-scrapie1.jpg|thumbnail|right|Scrapie in a sheep. Note the pink areas, the wool was scraped off by the sheep.]]
'''Scrapie''' is a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]] in [[sheep]] and [[goat]]s. It is caused by a [[prion]] form of [[PrP]], known as PrPres. The specific isoform in scrapie is known as PrPSc. Prions multiply by causing normally folded proteins of the same type to take on their abnormal shape, which then go on to do the same, in a kind of chain reaction. These abnormal proteins are gradually accumulated in the body, especially in nerve cells, which subsequently die. It is currently unknown (but very likely), if scrapie can cross the species barrier and infect humans. Scrapie infected sheep will scrape off their fur, which is the origin of the name. Scrapie usually affects sheep 3 to 5 years of age, due to its long incubation period. The primary mode of transmission is from mother to lamb through ingestion of placental or allantoic fluids. The condition is always fatal. Symptoms including repetitive scraping, ataxia, lesions, weight loss, anorexia, lethargy, and death. If scrapie infected sheep are used in [[meat and bone meal]], if fed to cows, it can cause [[bovine spongiform encephalopathy]].

Prion

2020-12-05T02:24:30Z

''For the bird, see [[Prion (bird)]]. For the protein, see [[PrP]].''

Prions are misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants of the same protein. They characterize several fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative diseases in humans and many other animals. It is not known what causes the normal protein to misfold, but the abnormal three-dimensional structure is suspected of conferring infectious properties, collapsing nearby protein molecules into the same shape. The word prion derives from "proteinaceous infectious particle". Prion forms of [[PrP]] (called PrPresare responsible for [[Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy|transmissible spongiform encephalopathies]], and prion forms of amyloid-beta and tau proteins cause [[Alzheimer's disease]]. It is possible that [[Lewy body]] dementia is caused by prions.

The word prion, coined in 1982 by Stanley B. Prusiner, is a portmanteau derived from protein and infection, hence prion, and is short for "proteinaceous infectious particle", in reference to its ability to self-propagate and transmit its conformation to other proteins. Its main pronunciation is /ˈpriːɒn/, although /ˈpraɪɒn/, as the homographic name of the [[Prion (bird)|Prion]] (prions or whalebirds) is pronounced, is also heard. In his 1982 paper introducing the term, Prusiner specified that it be "pronounced pree-on."

==Prions and nanoplastics==

Prion misfolding can be triggered by [[nanoplastics]]. They can cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with proteins. Nanoplastics are prone to interact with proteins, and this interaction fundamentally changes the crucial secondary structure of these biomolecules. This combined with a sporadic tertiary misfolding causes [[PrP]]c to misfold into PrPres, and cause a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]] disease.
