One can only hope that the trend referred to in the article below will continue.

I first became aware of how excellent –
the ‘extreme left’ were in organized protest when I first became active on
social media. I challenged a rabid anti-Semite with facts that debunked the
mythology he was spewing about Israel and the Palestinians and within minutes I
was bombarded with a barrage of reply posts from his followers ranging from
hostile to disgracefully racist. Out of curiosity I chose two other anti –
Israeli accounts, challenged them similarly and was met with exactly the same
offensive bombardment. Whether on social media, county councils, Trade Unions
or University campuses, the far left are exceptionally well organized more
importantly, well – funded as we shall verify.
While
the silent majority spend their free time watching soaps on TV, attending
sporting events, wining and dining or do it yourself tasks domestically, those
far-left activists are getting themselves voted on to a committee or
sub-committee of local government, charitable organizations, colleges, medical
or welfare groups and collectives with the intent of gaining power and
influence. They are able to achieve these objectives simply as a result of the
inertia of the silent majority.
In the last three decades we have witnessed how mainstream media, the church, academia, Trades Unions, local and government departments have become breeding grounds for those with a far-left political ideology. The BBC being the highest profile publicly funded institution that has evolved into the subservient stooge of all those opposed to conservative and Judeo-Christian values.
In the USA as in the UK the left – wing media dominated the viewing audience population for decades but very recently the tide has turned. The viewers for MSNBC, ABC and CNN have dramatically decreased to the point where investment analysts are questioning their ability to survive financially as advertising revenues shrink and are on a downward trajectory.
In the UK two right of center media
channels, Talk TV and GB News have broken the back of left-wing media dominance
the latter drastically so as it vies for second place for news viewers. The
under twenty-five age group are focused on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or
Twitter now X, and this too has seen an output metamorphosis from left to right
with the ownership of Elon Musk. And Facebook too, understanding where its
financial and political wellbeing is best served has followed the same left to
right trajectory. Unfortunately, Wikipedia has now become the outlet for
turning fact into fiction, truth into mythology and revisionism. It is losing
and will continue to lose credibility but suffice it to say that much damage
has already been done.
In
my world the most telling factor has been the curtailment of the vicious left-
wing posters – not cancelled but certainly regulated. Thus, in the media and
certainly with the election of Donald Trump, Canada and a number of EU
countries may well be leaning to the right and the signs for conservatives or
right of center ideologues are promising. But it is in the streets where the
challenge has yet to expose itself. Let me elaborate a little.
Immediately
following the atrocities committed on October 7, global protests were organized
in all major cities, in support of the Palestinians. This paradox is no longer
bizarre, it is the normal popular response the left has identified as their
cause celebre. Anti-Zionism, really antisemitism has become normalized and is
the most important issue that unites the left. Damn the 6 million black
Africans killed in the DRC, these last 20 years ; damn the 600,000 Syrians or
250,000 Yemenis slaughtered by Asad and the Houthis; damn the genocide
committed on black African non-Muslims by Islamists in the Sahel; damn the
Uighurs, Rohingyas or the tens of thousands of Kurds butchered by the
megalomaniac Erdogan of Turkey – only the Palestinians matter.
And
the Palestinians matter because the Jews are the opposition. When Syrians under
Assad slaughtered thousands of Palestinians who joined the Syrian opposition,
there was no outrage. Similarly, when Jordan and Pakistan killed thousands of
Palestinians in Black September there was no outrage. When Iraqi opposition and
Kuwait helped by the USA killed and ethnically cleansed thousands of
Palestinians for their support of Saddam, there was no outrage. Only the Jews,
Israelis or Zionists create the conditions for outrage and protests.
Now,
here’s the rub. These ‘spontaneous’ protests were similar to those Orwell
scribed in Animal Farm. Not only were they exceptionally well organized, but
banners, placards, terrorist memorabilia, camping equipment – tents, heating
food requirements etc. were all readily available and in abundance. The
protests were exceptionally well planned and clearly had been funded by those
waiting for the very moment when all hell could be let loose on the pro- Israel
block. The progressive ‘as a Jew Jews’ were radiantly orgasmic. You know
the type – those who believe they have an intellectual or moral superiority and
contempt for Jews who support Israel by prefacing every post or sentence they
make with ‘Aa s Jew’. To continue with the Orwellian theme, they are the pigs
(now that is a paradox) and those they hold in contempt, the donkeys.
The
story to any media outlet worth their salt was not to just comment on the
disgusting antisemitic and far left attendees but to delve further into which
individuals, organizations and groups are funding the protests. It will be
interesting to see if, after the ceasefire agreement, the protests will
continue and my guess is that the law of economic returns will kick in and they
will gradually become less popular.
I
did have one bit of fun with the agitators by posting to my growing band of
social media followers, knowing they would poke the far-left mob, that the
banners and placards they were using were manufactured by a Jewish company and
all proceeds going to Israel. Hell, hath no fury than a scorned Jew hater.
