[PJMedia] Journalist Andy Ngo has revealed that a member of a now infamous transgender terror cult has been arrested and charged, but under a false name, apparently protecting the bloodthirsty radical.
A member of the violent mostly peaceful transgender terror cult "Zizians," two other members of which murdered Border Patrol officer David Maland in Vermont last month, has reportedly been charged under an incorrect name and birthdate. Ngo exposed the fraud on X and explained that he had tried to bring the serious errors to the attention of the proper authorities since the errors could potentially give the attempted assassin, Tessa Berns, an edge in her upcoming trial.
"Breaking: I name the real identity of arrested ’Ziz’ terror cult member ’Suri Dao.’ I've known the name for weeks and held back while seeking comment from prosecutors and the defense. Prosecutors charged her under the WRONG IDENTITY, and the defense will exploit that," Ngo posted on X on Feb. 22. He had already shared Berns’s name and some details about her.
According to Ngo, Berns uses plural pronouns now and claims to be non-binary. "Weeks ago, I contacted the Solano County DA's office after my investigation led me to discover that Ziz trans terror member ’Suri Dao’ was actually being charged under a fake identity and fake birthday — something her defense will exploit at trial to make jurors question if prosecutors have the right person over the 2022 attempted liquidation of Curtis Lind and the killing of fellow ’Ziz’ member Amir ’Emma’ Borhanian," Ngo explained.
Borhanian, a Google employee who had Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... ties and repeatedly endorsed killing "Nazis," was rubbed out by octogenarian Curtis Lind, who was defending himself from a sword attack by Borhanian and fellow Zizians. While Lind survived being impaled and having his eye gouged out, the elderly man was subsequently stabbed to death, apparently by Zizians, according to Ngo. Borhanian was mourned by leftists as a supposedly innocent transgender victim of gun violence, and his family raised $20,000 on GoFundMe.
Ngo wrote of Borhanian’s fellow Zizian, "I can now confidently report that ’Suri Dao’ is the alias of Tessa Berns, a 24-year-old female award-winning former child genius from Denver, Colo. Berns was adopted from China by a well-to-do white lesbian couple. As a teen, she was vocal about her support for open borders. She was awarded a full scholarship to attend Arizona State in 2019." The woke mind sickness radicalized Berns.
Ngo wrote of Borhanian’s fellow Zizian, "I can now confidently report that ’Suri Dao’ is the alias of Tessa Berns, a 24-year-old female award-winning former child genius from Denver, Colo. Berns was adopted from China by a well-to-do white lesbian couple. As a teen, she was vocal about her support for open borders. She was awarded a full scholarship to attend Arizona State in 2019." The woke mind sickness radicalized Berns.
"When she was arrested over the deadly and violent mostly peaceful attack, she gave law enforcement an alias," Ngo continued. "Her family has been uncooperative in confirming Berns' identity to prosecutors." But he says he has the receipts.
What makes this situation particularly difficult is that all "members of the ’Ziz’ group use multiple aliases. Berns attempted to escape from custody and is being housed in a special medical ward," Ngo added.
Berns, who has previously used both male and female pronouns, now identifies as a trans nonbinary and uses the pronouns "they/them." A former alias she utilized was "Elizah." Her lawyer has attempted, Ngo accused, to hide Berns’s real legal name from both the court and the prosecutors.
The journalist ended, "Berns' lawyer Brian Ford told me: ’All I can offer you is what I have said before: I have only ever known my client to be Suri Dao. Other than that, I am sure that Suri would prefer not to be in the news at all. They are not overly involved in any of this.’"
[NewsMax] Military contractors have proposed helping the execution of President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... 's mass deportations of illegal migrants colonists, according to a report.
Before the Jan. 20 inauguration, a group of contractors gave Trump advisers a 26-page summary of a plan that would cost $25 billion, Politico reported.
The group is led by former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and Bill Mathews, the former chief operating officer of Blackwater, which provided security, training and logistical support to U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The contractors' proposal included the use of "processing camps" on military bases, a private fleet of 100 planes, and a "small army" of private citizens empowered to make arrests, the outlet added.
Politico reported that White House officials were in talks with military contractors, particularly as Congress works to agree on a budget and secure funding for the border and immigration.
Nearly 500,000 illegal aliens per month would need to be deported to achieve the contractors' goal of 12 million deportees before the 2026 midterms.
"To keep pace with the Trump deportations, it would require a 600% increase in activity. It is unlikely that the government could swell its internal ranks to keep pace with this demand ... in order to process this enormous number of deportations, the government should enlist outside assistance," the plan said.
[IsraelTimes] Lawsuit against gaming competitions that shut out a Zionist Jewish competitor aims to open a new front in the court battles over antisemitism and anti-Israel activism
In the fall of 2021, professional gamer Felix Hasson was hiking in the West Bank’s Wadi Qelt, a valley cut through the biblical landscape’s limestone hills between Jerusalem and Jericho.
The Jewish-American Hasson, then a teenager, was listening to Kanye West’s latest album, "Donda," during the hike.
"In the west bank bumpin carti... i got to introduce these settlements to off the grid," he posted on Twitter, referring to a song on the album featuring rapper Playboi Carti. (At the time, West, now known as Ye, had not yet posted any antisemitic tirades online.)
The tweet and others would surface more than two years later, after Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... ’s October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel, getting Hasson banned from several high-level online gaming competitions, according to a federal lawsuit filed in December in New York. Hasson is suing the competitions for excluding him in a case that his legal team hopes will set a legal precedent for other industries — online and off. The case also illustrated the evolving tactics in legal battles over antisemitism and anti-Zionism as both Israel’s advocates and its opponents take to the courts.
Hasson, a 21-year-old from New York, is a professional gamer specializing in Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. He began competing in online tournaments in 2020, and by 2022, was ranked third in Israel while residing there during a gap year.
Playing under the pseudonym T_pot, Hasson was ranked 19th in the world for gamers playing as Terry, one of Smash’s characters.
The lawsuit argues that, although Hasson’s family is from the US, he considers Israel his "ultimate place of national origin" due to his Jewish ethnic and religious identity. That definition would protect Hasson’s Zionism under Title II of the US Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law ensures equality in "public accommodations," including sports arenas, without discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.
"What we’re doing is we’re really pushing for case law that when you tell a Jewish person that you’re not going to include them in your place of public accommodation because they support Israel, that alone constitutes discrimination," said Hasson’s lawyer, Matthew Mainen.
Hasson grew up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where he attended events hosted by the area’s branch of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. He told The Times of Israel he had dreamed of becoming a competitive gamer since the sixth grade. He tried different games before settling on his strongest, Smash, around 2020.
After the tweet posted during his West Bank hike, Hasson shared several other pro-Israel posts. He called a meme shared by the IDF "based," and joked about Paleostinian Smash players using bombs in the game in a jab at Hamas rockets. On October 7, he said on X, formerly Twitter, "gaza got something big coming their way for sure," and two months later, laughed at an X post showing a user celebrating the Hamas attack, then lamenting the IDF response.
Hasson said that another gamer had seen one of his posts about Israel, then dug up the others and contacted tournament organizers. In December 2023, the other gamer shared screenshots of Hasson’s posts and asked organizers for Luminosity, a gaming company, "why is this racist zionist weasel allowed at your events?"
"Israel is committing genocide and anyone who cheers it on should be treated with appropriate scorn," he said.
In response, a Luminosity organizer said Hasson had been removed from an upcoming event in New York.
"Have been running events all day, just got to this and he has been removed," a tournament organizer posted on X, following the statement with a thumbs-up emoji.
The announcement "gained a lot of traction," Hasson said, prompting other competitions to follow suit. None of the organizers spoke to him before removing him, he said. Nearly all of the competitions Hasson was banned from were held in person.
"For the weeks after it happened, several weeks, I just felt a constant tightness in my chest, just really worried," Hasson said. The cancellations took place during his winter break from college, and his mother worried about him returning to campus.
"What if news of this had gone around campus, and then what if my safety was in danger?" he said. "Like, ’Oh, he’s a Zionist, get him.’ It was very, very unpleasant, frightening."
ZIONISM = JUDAISM?
The lawsuit said Luminosity has allowed players who posted anti-Israel vitriol online to continue competing, despite the ban against pro-Israel Hasson. Posts shared by players named in the lawsuit said, "Israel is evil," mocked Israel’s counter-offensive in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... with Holocaust imagery, defended Hamas, shared conspiracy theories saying Israel caused most of its October 7 casualties, called Israelis "colonial oppressors," and accused Israel of genocide.
The pattern repeated with several other gaming forums that banned Hasson, but not gamers who espoused anti-Israel vitriol. One organizer, from the Waypoint gaming cafe in New York, accused Hasson of "incitement to hate and violence" and told him that all tournaments in the New York region had unanimously decided to ban him from competitions, the lawsuit said. Mainen said the double standard constituted "disparate treatment," an illegal form of discrimination.
Jewish legal advocates have sought to define Zionism as a facet of the Jewish faith, and not a political belief, to protect pro-Israel Jews, and combat anti-Zionism, under US civil rights protections. The argument has been widely used in cases involving Title VI, which bars discrimination in programs that receive federal financial assistance, to combat anti-Zionism on campuses that get government funding. It has not been effectively tested under Title II, though, said Mark Goldfelder, the director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), the legal group backing Hasson.
"What we did in this case is we used public accommodations law to try and make it clear that excluding Zionists from whatever space it might be, including in this instance, e-platforms, would constitute a violation of Title II," Goldfelder said. "We want to take this Title II approach, public accommodations law, and bring it into the fuller civil rights conversation."
He hopes that, if the lawsuit is successful, it will extend Title II protections for pro-Israel Jews to forums such as music venues, sports competitions and bookstores, where Jewish, "Zionist" authors have been excluded. Mainen pointed to a pro-Israel activist in Oakland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, who was ejected from a pro-Hamas cafe for wearing a hat with the Star of David.
"The precedent that this case might set would really focus in on not just video games, but any place that’s offering services that’s attempting to deny them on the basis of someone’s support for Israel," Mainen said. "It’s going to be the launch point for a lot of cases in the future."
The lawsuit could also affect the gaming industry directly and other digital spaces. Jewish gamers have reported widespread antisemitism online, and NJAC has been approached for legal protection from people being abused in the metaverse.
"There’s really no statute right now to rely on, but as the lines between virtual reality and what I would call ’our world’ become increasingly blurred, e-sports, just as much as anything else, is a place where people can experience discrimination," said Ben Schlager, senior counsel at NJAC.
The lawsuit also aims to challenge Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, a federal law that protects online platforms from civil liability for third-party content by its users. Facebook cannot be sued, for example, if one user defames another on its platform. The law only protects the service providers if they are acting in "good faith," however, meaning they are not liable for decisions on content moderation if those decisions are made in a fair and reasonable way.
"You’re banning them because you want to discriminate against them. We would argue that that’s bad faith. You can’t racially discriminate, you can’t nationally origin discriminate, you can’t religiously discriminate against someone," Mainen said. "It’s been tough to successfully challenge, but we think that this discrimination component is going to be able to pierce the immunity of internet service providers."
Mainen pointed out that US Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas has signaled he is open to challenging such discriminatory bans.
"We’re willing to take this all the way up to the Supreme Court. We see an invitation from Justice Thomas," he said.
LAWFARE TO OPEN NEW FRONTIERS
The lawsuit could mark a new front in the legal battle being waged over the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict, and related discrimination, in the US. Jewish groups like NJAC, the Lawfare Project and the Brandeis Center have used the courts to advocate for Jews, efforts that have gained steam since October 7. On the other side, groups like Paleostine Legal, the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... and the New York Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union have filed lawsuits for pro-Paleostinian activists. Some universities, like Columbia, are being battered from both sides.
Samuel Estreicher, the director of the Center for Labor and Employment at New York University’s School of Law, is not involved in the Hasson case. He reviewed the lawsuit and said that Zionism was a political idea, not religious, but that Title II could apply to the case due to Hasson’s religious identity. Title II covers religion, but not politics, he said.
"If you’re treating Jews differently because they adopt certain views with respect to Israel, differently than other groups, then that’s a basis for religious discrimination under Title II, I would argue," Estreicher said.
He added that the case, if successful, could set a precedent by putting gaming forums under public accommodations law. It could also open the door to further, similar Title II cases involving Jewish issues. The precedent could be influential, but would be non-binding, meaning other courts would not be required to follow the same decision in similar cases, he said. Title II was an important tool for advocates in the civil rights era, but is not widely used today, he added.
The lawsuit filed in New York’s federal Southern District Court requested that the court declare that the bans against Hasson were unlawful, that the gaming forums take him off the blacklist, and pay $1 million in damages to Hasson.
Luminosity and Waypoint did not respond to requests for comment and did not yet have legal representation listed in the case.
Hasson said he is still banned from competing in New York, but plays in Texas, where he attends Houston
...a city in Texas, named after Sam Houston, who would drop deader than he is now if he could see how it turned out... ’s Rice University and keeps a mezuzah on his door. He knows the gaming community in Houston, which welcomes him as a player and defends him when out-of-towners try to eject him from the area’s competitions. Other gamers have also highlighted the case, pointing out the double standard organizers applied against Hasson.
Hasson said he hopes the lawsuit will result in an apology, his reinstatement in competitions, and send a wider message.
"I hope that by winning this case, it sends the message that you’re allowed to voice positive feelings about Israel and not fear that the entire community will shut you down and kick you out forever," he said.
Consequences all around. They both can afford it, but losing will sting a little.
[FreeBeacon] Roger Waters called veteran reporter John Ware a 'lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece' who supports 'genocide of the Palestinian people'
A British court determined in a preliminary ruling that Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters defamed John Ware, a veteran journalist who made a documentary critical of Waters's anti-Semitic history, when he called Ware a "lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece" who supports the "genocide of the Paleostinian people." The development puts both Waters and the Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... -friendly network Al Jazeera on the hook for damages.
In the Tuesday ruling, the British High Court of Justice found that Waters's "statements are defamatory" because they were offered as fact, not opinion. The decision sets the stage for Ware to receive financial compensation not just from Waters but also from Al Jazeera, the Arab network funded in large part by the Hamas-friendly nation of Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... . Waters's comments targeting Ware came during a 2024 interview on the Al Jazeera network, which Ware sued in addition to Waters. The case could go to trial to determine damages, though barrister Simon Myerson predicted that Waters and Al Jazeera will settle with Ware.
Ware, a documentarian who produced a 2023 film examining Waters’s vast anti-Israel advocacy, sued the musician and Al Jazeera last year. Waters appeared on Al Jazeera to bash Ware’s film and accused the journalist of "cheerleading the genocide of the Paleostinian people like almost more than anyone else on earth."
Ware’s documentary, The Dark Side of Roger Waters, was produced for the Campaign Against Antisemitism, a British nonprofit that combats Jew-hatred. In it, Ware examined the singer’s long history of anti-Israel activism and embrace of anti-Semitic imagery. Waters, for instance, dressed in Nazi regalia during a 2023 show and displayed an inflatable pig emblazoned with Jewish stars. Ware’s documentary detailed the musician’s plans to add other slogans and symbols to the pig, including "dirty kike," "follow the money," and "scum."
His Nazi cosplay earned a rare rebuke from the Biden administration State Department, which described Waters as having a "long track record of using antisemitic tropes to denigrate Jewish people."
In the wake of Oct. 7, Waters said Hamas's terror attack was justified and accused Israel of "making up stories" about widespread rape and torture on that day.
"Was it justified for [Hamas] to resist the occupation? Yeah," Waters said just a month after the attack. "They are absolutely legally and morally bound to resist the occupation since 1967."
Referring to reports that Hamas raped women, killed babies, and tortured civilians during its rampage through Israel, Waters downplayed the revelations.
"We don't yet know what happened," he said at the time. "Maybe there were some individual cases of civilians getting killed."
Waters is also a leading supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, an anti-Semitic global campaign to wage economic warfare on the Jewish state.
[IsraelTimes] In fresh scrutiny of controversial film, report accuses broadcaster of ‘whitewashing’ terror support with what an Israeli diplomat calls ‘intentional mistranslations’
A controversial BBC documentary on life in Gaza has again come under scrutiny, as a report Monday accused the filmmakers of “whitewashing” references to terrorism, Jihad, Hamas and prejudice against Jews in the English translation of the original Arabic dialogue.
The film, “Gaza: How To Survive a War Zone”, was pulled from BBC‘s online streaming service last week after a Telegraph report found that the documentary’s narrator was the son of a major Hamas governmental figure.
On Monday, a new report in the Telegraph found that the English translation of the film repeatedly mistranslated certain words in an attempt to “whitewash” the statements of the ordinary Gazans who were interviewed in the documentary.
According to the Telegraph, all mentions of the word “Jews” were translated to “Israelis” or “Israeli forces,” and all mentions of “Jihad” were translated to “battle” or “resistance.”
The mistranslations were first highlighted by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), a US-based pro-Israel media watchdog, which offered more accurate translations of the film’s original Arabic to contrast the BBC’s version.
In the film, a fleeing Gazan woman tells the cameraman that “the Jews invaded our area,” but the BBC translated the quote to “the Israeli army invaded our area.”
A few minutes later, a Gazan boy tells the interviewer that “the Jews came, they destroyed us, Hamas and the Jews”. However, this quote was translated in the BBC’s subtitles as “the Israelis destroyed everything, and so did Hamas.”
Later in the film, a woman shows the camera footage of slain Hamas terror chief Yahya Sinwar’s last moments before he was killed by the IDF in October of last year, saying in Arabic that “his face was covered and his weapon was ready, prepared for Jihad,” but the BBC’s subtitles translated Jihad, which means holy war, to “battle.”
The same woman said that arch-terrorist Sinwar “was engaging in resistance and jihad against the Jews,” but the subtitles read “he was fighting and resisting Israeli forces.”
After the mistranslations were reported, the Telegraph quoted Orly Goldschmidt, a diplomat at the Israeli Embassy in London, as saying that the mistakes were “intentional mistranslations” by the BBC, adding that “it reflects a very serious and systematic issue, which has taken root at the BBC, with regards to its anti-Israel bias.”
The original scrutiny of the film, which led to its removal from the BBC’s streaming platform, was because the documentary’s main narrator and central figure, 14-year-old Abdullah Al-Yazouri, is the son of Ayman Al-Yazouri, deputy minister of agriculture in the Strip’s Hamas government.
This connection was first revealed by journalist David Collier, who called the film’s narrator “the child of Hamas royalty.”
The elder Al-Yazouri’s LinkedIn profile says he has been deputy agriculture minister in Gaza since July 2021 and before that worked as an assistant to the deputy minister in Gaza’s education ministry. Hamas controls all government institutions in Gaza.
After initially saying the film would remain available to view with “some details” added, the broadcaster later succumbed to widespread criticism and removed the film.
The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, a pro-Palestinian NGO, condemned the criticism of the documentary, saying that despite Ayman Al-Yazouri being “a civil servant in Gaza’s Agriculture Ministry,” that “does not negate Abdullah’s lived experience as a child in Gaza nor does it invalidate his testimony.”
After the film was removed from the platform, UK opposition leader Kemi Badenoch wrote a letter to the BBC asking if the broadcaster used license fees paid by the British public to make payments to Hamas, the Daily Mail reported.
Badenoch’s letter called for a probe into any “potential collusion with Hamas” and “the possibility of payment to terrorists.”
According to the Daily Mail, the BBC said it could not immediately answer her question and was carrying out “further due diligence” on how the program was made.
Badenoch also said anti-Israel bias in the BBC’s reporting of the conflict was not an “isolated incident” and called for rooting out the “systemic and institutional bias against Israel.”
The UK public broadcaster has been criticized for its refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists, even though the group’s military wing is proscribed by the United Kingdom as such, and even after the widespread documentation of its systematic targeting of civilians on October 7, 2023.

I'm so old I remember when the Beeb was regarded as a reliable source of information. I'm not saying they were, we just still thought of them that way.
[IsraelTimes] The United States imposes sanctions on six entities based in Hong Kong and China that it accuses of being involved in an Iranian drone procurement network as the Trump administration implements its “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran.
The US Treasury Department says the entities are engaged in the procurement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) components on behalf of an Iranian firm under US sanctions, Pishtazan Kavosh Gostar Boshra, and its subsidiary Narin Sepehr Mobin Isatis, adding that the firms are key suppliers of Iran’s UAV and ballistic missile programs.
“Iran continues to try to find new ways to procure the key components it needs to bolster its UAV weapons program through new front companies and third-country suppliers,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says in a statement.
“Treasury remains committed to disrupting the schemes that enable Iran to send its deadly weapons abroad to its terrorist proxies and other destabilizing actors.”
[KhaamaPress] German media reported that a group of 155 Afghan local staff members who worked for the German government were transferred from Islamabad to Berlin on Tuesday. According to Bild newspaper, another group of Afghan refugees is expected to be transferred from Islamabad to Germany next month.
The group flew from Islamabad to Berlin on Tuesday, February 25, with a stopover in Dubai. Bild reported that there are no direct flights from Afghanistan to Germany, and the next flight from Pakistain to Germany is planned for March.
Some of those transferred to Berlin had worked for the German government before the German forces left Afghanistan in 2021. These individuals were part of the local staff employed by the German government in Afghanistan.
The Bild newspaper also noted that the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU) have criticized these flights. German politician Thorsten Frei warned that the federal government is bringing in people from Afghanistan instead of focusing on deporting Afghan criminals.
Reports indicate that Germany has accepted over 48,000 Afghans since the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... . Of these, 38,000 are individuals identified as "at risk" by the German government.
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Friedrich Merz, won the recent German elections, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) making significant gains.
The AfD’s rise has sparked concerns among migrants colonists about potential changes in immigration policies. The transfer of Afghan refugees to Germany continues, reflecting the country’s ongoing commitment to those at risk in Afghanistan.
However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... with the AfD’s increased influence, the issue of immigration and refugee policies is becoming more contentious. Election outcomes could shape future policies, balancing humanitarian efforts with concerns over security and immigration control, potentially impacting Germany’s domestic and international stance on refugees.
Around 3,000 Afghans with German admission permits are currently waiting in Islamabad for their transfer to Berlin. This ongoing refugee process continues to be a significant issue in Germany’s foreign policy and immigration strategy. The government’s approach has sparked debate over the consistency of its policies regarding Afghan refugees.
[IsraelTimes] 5 workers wear shirts reading ‘Does our code kill kids, Satya?’ over provision of AI, cloud services, as recent report claimed army used Microsoft models to select bombing targets
Five Microsoft employees were ejected from a meeting with the company’s chief executive on Monday for protesting contracts to provide artificial intelligence and cloud computing services to the Israeli military.
Confusing Microsoft with a college campus.
The protest came after an investigation by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named claimed last week that sophisticated AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI had been used as part of an Israeli military program to select bombing targets during the recent wars in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... , triggered by the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terror group’s devastating October 7, 2023, attack.
The story also contained details of what it said was an errant Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... in 2023 that reportedly struck a vehicle carrying members of a Lebanese family, killing three maiden of tender yearss and their grandmother.
I seem to recall the car belonged to a Hezbollah big turban…
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was speaking about new products at an employee town hall meeting at the company’s corporate campus in Redmond, Washington. Workers standing about 15 feet to his right then revealed t-shirts with words that spelled out the question "Does Our Code Kill Kids, Satya?" when their wearers stood side-by-side. Cute. "Allahu Akhbar" didn't work?
Photos and video of the incident, which was live streamed throughout the company, shows Nadella kept speaking and did not acknowledge the protesters. Two men quickly tapped the workers on the shoulders and ushered them out of the room.
"We provide many avenues for all voices to be heard," Microsoft said in a statement provided to the AP. "Importantly, we ask that this be done in a way that does not cause a business disruption. If that happens, we ask participants to relocate. We are committed to ensuring our business practices uphold the highest standards."
Microsoft did not answer Tuesday when asked whether the employees involved in the protest would face disciplinary action.
They should have done immediately, or there will be even more of this kind of thing. The moment calls for punishment, not discussion — basic psychology of management stuff.
The company also previously declined to comment about the AP’s February 18 story about its contracts with the Israeli military.
In October, Microsoft fired two workers for helping organize an unauthorized lunchtime protest at its headquarters over the Gaza war, in which the workers called Israel’s campaign against Hamas a "genocide" and accused Microsoft of complicity in it. Israel has strenuously denied all accusations of genocide.
Video from the event, shared by a Jewish employee on her Times of Israel blog, showed one of the protest’s 30-40 participants shoving a modified Lebanese flag in her face and telling her, "Kiss the flag, Nazi."
Iran proxies creating a hostile work environment. The Justice Department could have fun with that.
At the time, Microsoft said that it had ended the employment of some people "in accordance with internal policy" but declined to give details.
How are people to know the rules, if they aren’t explained?
A group of workers has been raising concerns within the company for months about Microsoft providing services to the Israeli military through its Azure cloud computing platform.
Management makes philosophical decisions. Workers get to comply or leave — fussing is not one of the two choices.
The AP’s investigation included exclusive details drawn from internal company data and documents, including that the alleged usage of AI models by the Israeli military through Azure increased nearly 200 times after the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023 attack — in which thousands of Death Eaters killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages — starting the war.
Congratulations on making the cut, Microsoft!
The AP’s report was shared and discussed among Microsoft employees on social media and within the company’s internal systems. In a community forum designated for employees to raise concerns with big shotship, an employee shared links to the AP report.
More than a dozen others questioned whether the company was violating its stated principles to defend human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... and not to let its AI models be used to harm people, according to screenshots reviewed by the AP.
Abdo Mohammed, a researcher and data scientist who was one of the Microsoft workers fired over the October vigil, said the company is prioritizing profits over its own human rights commitments.
"The demands are clear," said Mohammed, who works with a group of Microsoft workers called No Azure for Apartheid. "Satya Nadella and Microsoft executives need to answer to their workers by dropping contracts with the Israeli military."
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Elon Musk's DOGE uncovered another huge scandal involving a former ICE employee-turned Biden official.
According to DOGE, the HHS has been paying an empty migrant facility in Pecos, Texas, $18 million a month since March 2024.
The shady deal was brokered by a former ICE employee-turned Biden transition team member.
DOGE said the sketchy contract was terminated, saving taxpayers more than $251 million per year.
Per DOGE:
A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.
As a result, Family Endeavors' cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.
Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.
With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.
And now HHS or DOJ can work to claw back some of what was overpaid. And possibly the recipient can be sent to jail…So much winning!

[KhaamaPress] A former Afghan intelligence officer, who had worked with U.S. forces for 13 years, was arrested due to the new immigration policies under the Trump administration. Upon visiting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office for his annual check-in, he was informed that his temporary residency permit had been revoked.
The officer’s situation is a direct result of the immigration policy changes implemented after Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025. These new regulations have significantly impacted the cases of Afghan refugees and asylum seekers.
As part of the policy shift, Trump issued an executive order suspending the resettlement program for Afghan refugees, including halting all flights for eligible Afghans seeking resettlement in the United States. Furthermore, reports indicate that the Trump administration closed the U.S. State Department office responsible for resettling refugees who had worked with U.S. forces.
These changes have caused significant concern among Afghan refugees and other migrants colonists who are seeking the safest way to settle in the U.S. Many individuals, including this officer, who had collaborated with U.S. forces, are now facing serious challenges regarding their immigration status.
The Trump administration’s refugee and resettlement policies have created considerable uncertainty for those who worked alongside U.S. forces, including Afghan nationals who assisted with intelligence and military operations. These individuals, who had been promised protection, now face the risk of deportation or detention under the new regulations.
The suspension of the refugee resettlement program has left many individuals stranded, unsure of their future and safety. With limited avenues for legal recourse, they find themselves in precarious situations as they navigate the shifting policies.
The actions of the Trump administration have sparked widespread criticism, especially from advocates for refugees and human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... organizations. Many argue that these policies betray the promises made to those who risked their lives working with U.S. forces and jeopardize their safety and well-being.

It really is a sad culture, but there are man others just as sad.
* Valve job and by-pass on the widow maker went flawlessly yesterday. I'm out of ICU and watching kudlow over top of my hp notebook. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

[NYPOST] President Trump argued on Wednesday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should ''fire every single'' US military general involved in the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The Pentagon chief was seated to Trump's left during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, when a news hound asked about the current employment status of the generals tasked with organizing the August 2021 US exit from Afghanistan.
''I'm not going to tell this man what to do but I will say that if I had his place, I'd fire every single one of them, Pete,'' Trump responded.

Don't forget, he had already given the orders to prepare to withdrawal based upon the Taliban meeting conditions. The general officers at the time ignored that order. When Biden gave the order, they had to improvise because of that disobedience.

The withdraw was absolute slop, and would likely have been worse if there wasn't a huge payoff for a ceasefire to evacuate IMHO, but a story like that would be egregiously obvious to even Normies, no slight on them, trying to wake them up: people scraping by to go home and do family things don't have the luxery of time to proper research.
[Breitbart] A newly inaugurated, allegedly state-of-the-art international airport in one of Pakistan’s most restive regions appears to have no significant plane traffic in it since its first arrival in late January, multiple reports revealed this week, and has left locals confused and concerned for what it means about their future.
The New Gwadar International Airport is located in Balochistan, home to a separatist terror group and a port that the Chinese Communist Party has identified as critical to its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Pakistan is one of the most enthusiastic participants in the BRI, a global debt trap scheme in which China ensnares poor countries into its control using predatory loans, and has its own wing of the BRI named after it: the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The government of Pakistan has steadfastly supported the development of CPEC with the exception of the term of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, a radical Islamist populist who dramatically cut the BRI budget in his government, although not without paying lip service to China’s alleged wisdom and development foresight. It has faced tremendous challenges to finance BRI projects and significant security problems, particularly in Gwadar, where the separatist Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has made Chinese citizens a target.
The New Gwadar International Airport is estimated to have cost Pakistan $240 million in Chinese financing to build.
Islamabad went ahead with officially opening the airport in October 2024, anyway, and it welcomed its first flight on January 21. The Indian newspaper Hindustan Times reported on Tuesday, expanding on earlier coverage from the Associated Press (AP), that the airport appears to get almost no use, describing it as the home of “ghost terminals” and seemingly no airplanes.
“The city continues to struggle with basic infrastructure issues, including unreliable electricity and a shortage of clean water, while the airport’s large capacity seems unnecessary for the area’s small population,” it observed.
The AP, visiting Gwadar, found the locals confused about the project at best, and alarmed at their potential displacement or colonization at worst.
“An airport with a 400,000 passenger capacity isn’t a priority for the city’s 90,000 people,” the agency observed. “People are on edge; activists claim there are forced disappearances and torture, which the government denies.”
Claims that the project created “local” jobs have gone unproven and locals lament that the airport has nothing to do with them.
“The port has been around for 20 years and now the international airport has been constructed, but not one person from Gwadar has been employed there … not even as a watchman,” one man, Abdul Ghafoor Hoth of the Balochistan Awami Party, told the AP.
The Chinese government promoted the BRI as a way for Pakistan to eradicate terrorist violence, particularly radical Islamic terrorism. In Balochistan, the growing Chinese presence, and accompanying Pakistani military operations, appeared to have inspired a new wave of terrorism against Chinese colonialism. When the U.S. State Department designated the BLA a terrorist organization, it listed several attacks targeting Chinese nationals by the group, including “a suicide attack in August 2018 that targeted Chinese engineers in Balochistan, a November 2018 attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi, and a May 2019 attack against a luxury hotel in Gwadar, Balochistan.”
The BLA continued to attack Chinese targets in subsequent years, including Chinese outposts unrelated to the BRI. In one of the most shocking such attacks, a female suicide bomber identified as Shari Baloch attacked the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi in April 2022, killing four people, three of them Chinese nationals. The BLA took responsibility for the attack; Confucius Institutes are academic centers the Chinese government uses to spread communist ideology.
The opening of the New Gwadar International Airport fell victim to security complications, as well. On October 6, 2024, just as officials had planned to inaugurate the project, terrorists detonated an improvised explosive device in Karachi, in an attack directly targeting a convoy carrying Chinese workers arriving in Pakistan. The bombing killed two Chinese citizens and injured several others.
The attack outraged the Chinese government, which blamed the BLA for the attack and demanded Islamabad “conduct a thorough investigation of the attack … severely punish the perpetrators … [and] take practical and effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens, institutions and projects in Pakistan.”
Locals speaking to the AP complained that, in the aftermath of the attack, Gwadar has seen an influx of Pakistani military officials who harass locals in an attempt to prevent further attacks.
“The city is a jumble of checkpoints, barbed wire, troops, barricades, and watchtowers,” AP said of Gwadar. “Roads close at any given time, several days a week, to permit the safe passage of Chinese workers and Pakistani VIPs.”
“We are asked to prove our identity, who we are, where we have come from,” one local lamented. “We are residents. Those who ask should identify themselves as to who they are.”
Pakistan held an inauguration ceremony for the airport “virtually” in October following the convoy bombing. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended the virtual ceremony alongside Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang and celebrated the airport as “another gift from China.”
A month after that ceremony, the Pakistan Express Tribune reported that the Pakistan government had no plan for commercializing the airport to welcome airlines or to develop businesses such as restaurants and other stops within the airport for passengers.

Well, my first question would be Why do you want to fly there?

A possible future Chinese Communist Party Military Base for Logistical and Support Operations.
When the Pakis can't pay for it, the Chinese BRI contracts state that it will become property of the CCP. Like a lien, the property becomes owned by the debt holder. So your thinking is correct.
The Chinese Belt & Road 'initiatives' only seem to be targeted at countries with unstable finances, so rather insidious in their nature.

This airport is likely a major long term financial liability, whether for Pakistan and/or China.

Because your commander ordered you to fly in transports full of soldiers?
[IsraelTimes] Court says ‘sufficient and reliable information’ that Muhammad Deif was killed last July, will reissue warrant ‘should information become available that Mr. Deif is still alive’.
The International Criminal Court on Wednesday scrapped an arrest warrant issued against Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... ’s late military chief Muhammad Deif, who was killed in an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... last year.
The decision by The Hague-based court came after prosecutors earlier this month told its judges they had "sufficient and reliable information" that Deif was killed last July in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... "As a result, the Chamber decides to terminate the proceedings against Mr Deif and renders the arrest warrant... against him without effect," presiding judge Nicolas Guillou said in a written decision.
Hamas did not confirm Deif’s death until late last month when the group issued a statement announcing the "martyrdom" of the shadowy leader. "He's always smelled like that"
Judge Guillou added the order was "without prejudice to pursuing again, should information become available that Mr. Deif is still alive."
Hamas did not officially confirm Deif’s death until last month, more than six months after his killing in a July 13, 2024 airstrike, with the terror group previously denying he had been killed.
Deif, along with Hamas’s Gaza leader Sinwar, was an architect of Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel, when thousands of bully boyz broke through the border and killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, while taking 251 people hostage to Gaza.
He had topped Israel’s most-wanted list since 1995 for his involvement in the planning and execution of a large number of terror attacks, including many bus bombings in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Until the July strike, Deif had survived seven Israeli attempts on his life over the years, some of which had maimed him.
Despite the IDF announcing that it had killed Deif in August, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for him on November 21 along with warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant.
The ICC listed the charges against Deif as crimes against humanity of murder, extermination, torture and sexual violence as well as war crimes of murder, cruel treatment, torture, hostage-taking, outrages upon personal dignity and sexual violence.
Netanyahu and Gallant were both charged with war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally targeting a civilian population, and crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts during the war in Gaza.
Israel has strongly rejected the substance of the allegations, insisting that it has funneled massive amounts of humanitarian aid through the crossings along the Gaza border and that any problems with the distribution of that aid to the Paleostinian civilian population were a result of inefficient operations by the aid organizations on the ground, difficulties arising from the ongoing conflict in the territory, and the looting of aid by Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
Israel has also rejected allegations that it targets civilians, insisting that civilian casualties caused by the operation have resulted in large part due to Hamas’s tactic of embedding its fighters and installations within Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.
The ICC was established in 2002 as the permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the world’s most heinous atrocities — war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression.
The court’s 125 member states include Paleostine, Ukraine, Canada, and every country in the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , but dozens of countries don’t accept the court’s jurisdiction, including Israel, the United States, Russia, and China.

10/7 was a well documented undeniable war crime.
Israel is a state actor.
If the ICC had wanted to show any semblance of even making an effort to implement something like equitable justice it would have issued arrest warrants for the leadership of the state actors behind 10/7, concurrently with issuing arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
The ICC / Rome Statute is de facto an alliance against Western civilization.
It is a cargo cult court that tries to look like a court but doesn't function like a Western judicial institution.
#2
If I recall correctly, the State of Palestine is a member of the ICC, though I believe they mean the Palestinian Authority, not Hamas in Gaza. Nonetheless, as the last-elected government of Gaza, Hamas is actually the legal authority over there, and therefore could be considered a state actor as well. Or possibly a sub-state actor — “governor” rather than “president”… It would be a fun argument to make, for someone with the right credentials and actual knowledge. ;-)
[IsraelTimes] Hamas is making preparations for the possibility of renewed fighting against Israel in Gaza, appointing new commanders to replace those killed, making deployment plans and beginning some work to rebuild tunnel systems, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The paper says the terror group is preparing for the possibility of the ceasefire’s collapse, and distributing pamphlets to new recruits that explain the use of weapons and guerilla warfare.
[IsraelTimes] An anti-government protest group has called for a civil disobedience to begin in Jerusalem on Sunday, after the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal’s first phase is set to expire, to stop the “thwarting” of the deal and “abandonment” of the hostages.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has largely held off on negotiating the deal’s second phase, which would see Hamas release remaining living hostages, preferring to extend the ongoing first phase. The premier’s right-wing flank has threatened to topple the government should it proceed to the second phase, which would require Israel to withdraw fully from Gaza.
Demanding Israel “rise to phase two,” the protest group calls on its volunteers to come to join the “days of rage” by car, prepare food for a possibly long stay, and support protesters on the ground.
According to the message, Shift 101, which has held several silent pro-hostage deal protests, will gather on Jerusalem’s Azza Road — near the prime minister’s residence — at 4 p.m. Sunday, followed by an open-ended “rage protest” starting 7 p.m. "Break out the Soylent Green Scoopers!"
Since November, the “civil disobedience” group has been registering volunteers at weekend protests on Tel Aviv’s Begin Road and holding numerous tutorials on nonviolent disobedience tactics.
It has previously also called for a general strike and for parents to refrain from sending children to school. It advocates “nonviolent, determined civil disobedience that will lead to the fall of the government.”
In messages to volunteers, the group has repeatedly called for protesters to prepare for a “command day” that would see “thousands of soldiers on foot and battalions of cars” gather in Jerusalem, “when hostage families give the signal.”
It’s unclear how many volunteers have joined the group and which, if any, hostage families are affiliated with it.
[IsraelTimes] IAEA raises alarm over production of close to weapons grade material, says time is running out for diplomatic recourse to impose new restrictions on program
Iran’s stock of uranium close to weapons grade has jumped since it announced a dramatic acceleration in enrichment in December, and there has been no progress on resolving outstanding issues, two reports by the UN nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday.
The stock of uranium enriched to up to 60 percent fissile purity, close to the roughly 90% of bomb grade, has been a long-standing concern for Western powers, which say there is no civil justification for enriching uranium to such a high level. Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... says it seeks nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
While US President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... ’s administration has said it plans to pressure Iran over its nuclear program, the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said time is running out for diplomacy to impose new restrictions on Iran’s activities.
"The significantly increased production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear weapon state to produce such nuclear material, is of serious concern," the IAEA said in a passage that, unusually, was included in both its quarterly reports on Iran.
Those confidential reports, sent to member states on Wednesday and both seen by Rooters, showed that while the stock of 60% material grew by half, there was no real progress on resolving long-running outstanding issues, including the unexplained presence of uranium traces at undeclared sites.
The stock of uranium refined to up to 60% in the form of uranium hexafluoride grew by 92.5 kilograms (204 pounds) in the past quarter to 274.8 kilograms (606 pounds), one of two confidential IAEA reports said.
That is enough in principle, if enriched further, for six nuclear bombs, according to an IAEA yardstick. There is enough for more weapons at lower enrichment levels.
Where before its latest acceleration, Iran was producing between 6 and 9 kilograms (13 and 20 pounds) of uranium enriched to up to 60% per month, now that figure is between 35 and 40 kilograms (77 and 88 pounds), a senior diplomat said. This is just short of the 42 kilograms that is enough in principle for one bomb, if refined further.
One of the reports spelled out the lack of progress on the outstanding issues such as explaining the uranium traces, which the IAEA has been asking the Islamic Theocratic Republic to do for years.
"Iran states that it has declared all of the nuclear material, activities and locations required under its Safeguards Agreement. This is inconsistent with the Agency’s assessments," it said.
"The Agency is, therefore, at an impasse with regard to resolving these outstanding safeguards issues."
During his first term as president, Trump withdrew the US from a landmark deal between Iran and major powers that placed strict limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. After Trump pulled out in 2018, Iran breached and far surpassed those limits.
With the deal now largely in tatters, European powers are seeking to either have the US help agree on new limits on Iran’s nuclear program or use a mechanism in the deal to reimpose all sanctions before the deal expires in October.
There are signs that a military option to deal with the concerns around the nuclear program may be on the table. A British Telegraph report on Tuesday said Iran is now on high alert as it braces for a potential attack by Israel and the US on its nuclear facilities.
According to the report, Tehran has deployed additional air defense system launches around key nuclear and missile sites. An official told the newspaper, however, that there was an understanding in Tehran that Iran’s already-weakened air defenses "may not be effective in the event of a large-scale strike."
