| #5 ASMEA had an in person conference in Nov 2021 at a big hotel and had a lot of papers presented and a lot of concurrent sessions. Probably several hundred to a thousand at the event. MESA had a virtual conference in Nov 2021 also. MESA has numerous institutional sponsors (ASMEA didn't seem to have any). There were more sessions that the ASMEA but of course, virtual is different from in person. MESA says it will have in person conference in 2022. |

| #4 Lord Garth, MESA appears to be smaller than your numbers. From the MESA NA About page: From its inception in 1966 with 51 founding members, MESA has increased its membership to more than 2,800 and now serves as an umbrella organization for more than fifty institutional members and thirty-six affiliated organizations. |

| #3 Israel should seek and liquidate the instigators or mouthpieces of these movements. Two or three dead will make a world of difference. |

| #2 MENSA's qualifying IQ score applies to the top 2% of the population. So maybe 5 million adults in the US. |
