By Zero Hedge Saturday, October 27, 2018


Update (11:15 am ET): Police have the shooter in handcuffs and are in the process of clearing the synagogue. According to scanner reports, at least 11 people have been tagged “dead on arrival.”

Here’s the scene from a few blocks away:

Update (11:11 am ET): The suspect has reportedly surrendered according to police scanner reports. According to police scanner reports, he was armed with a Glock pistol and an AR-15.

At least four people have died and a cop has been shot in the wrist. The suspect is crawling out of the building and communicating with the SWAT team.

According to police, the suspect’s name is Robert Bower. He is 46 years old. He reportedly shouted “all Jews must die” at police after being subdued. The suspect was officially in cuffs as of 11:13 am ET.

More bodies are reportedly being brought out. Police have also found a “military style” package on the first floor.

With the country still on edge from the flurry of more than a dozen attempted mail bombings of prominent Democratic political figures this past week, as many as eight people have been killed after a gunman opened fire during Shabbat services at a synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The shooter, who is armed with an AK-47, has taken members of the congregation hostage, according to Pittsburgh’s CBS affiliate station.

Officers were forced to hide behind their cars after arriving at Tree of Life Congregation, which is located on the corner of Wilkens and Shady Avenues, as the gunman opened fire on them. At least 4 have been confirmed dead, and scanner reports suggest the total could already be seven or eight. According to one report, the gunman is holed up on the third floor of the synagogue and is engaged in a gun battle with members of the SWAT team.

As one YouTuber who put the scanner feed online noted, “we’re listening to a terrorist attack in real time.”

Here are some excerpts from the scanner courtesy of RT:

Details of dramatic police standoff with the shooter are emerging via police radio broadcast on the Broadcastify website. An officer at the scene has told his colleagues over the police radio that there are “four down in the atrium.” Another one said “I’ve got one alive.”

“We need armor,” one police officer is heard saying, while another one requested to “open up the back for rescue.”

Saturday is Shabbat in the Jewish faith, and the shooting reportedly took place during a crowded prayer service. According to one local reporter, Tree of Life has one of the largest congregations in the city.

Oh no. No no no. This is Saturday, Shabbat, the busiest day of the week at a synagogue. Tree of Life is one of the most congregated in Pittsburgh. Please no. https://t.co/q0UgkNkLTs

According to the Daily Mirror, the area around the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue and the area surrounding it have been sealed off.

Two days ago, he claimed that Trump was "controlled by Jews." He doesn't sound like a Trump fan to me.

]PayPal Bans Social Network Gab.com After Synagogue Attacker Revealed As User

PayPal severed all ties with the platform with no explanation.

By Zero Hedge Sunday, October 28, 2018


Hours after it was revealed that Saturday’s Tree of Life Synagogue shooting suspect was a user of social media network Gab.ai, PayPal severed all ties with the platform with no explanation.

The shooter, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, posted anti-Semitic and anti-Trump rhetoric over Gab, which bills itself as the “home of free speech” due to the minimal censorship employed by the site. Shortly before the shooting, he posted a message to Gab which condemns the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) which he wrote “likes to bring invaders in that kill our people,” before writing: “Screw your optics, I’m going in.”

Following the shooting, Gab quickly removed Bowers’ account and sent all information to the FBI and DOJ. Torba then issued a full statementconfirming the alleged attacker’s presence on the site, and noting that Gab had taken immediate action – unlike other social media platforms.

Social media often brings out the best and the worst of humanity. From live streamed murders on Facebook, to threats of violence by bombing suspect Cesar Sayoc Jr. that went unaddressed by Twitter, and more. Criminals and criminal behavior exist on every social media platform.

Shortly after the attack, Gab was alerted to a user profile of the alleged Tree of Life Synagogue shooter. The account was verified and matched the name of the alleged shooter’s name, which was mentioned on police scanners. This person also had accounts on other social networks.

That apparently wasn’t enough for PayPal (which, we would note, didn’t sever ties with Facebook despite Bowers’ presence on the site, or Instagram after it was revealed that Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz posted pictures of weapons to the network).

In a letter addressed to Gab CEO Andrew Torba, PayPal wrote: “We are hereby notifying you that we are terminating our relationship with your pursuant to PayPal’s User Agreement. Under the PayPal User Agreement, PayPal, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate your account for any reason and at any time upon notice to you.”

Torba was ordered to remove “all references to PayPal.”

BREAKING: https://t.co/J3Rfto6fi3 is now banned from Paypal “just because.” pic.twitter.com/VA1NhY5zhr

— Gab.com🍂 (@getongab) October 27, 2018

Perhaps Torba was banned after he spoke ill of Big Tech:

If you are a terrorist the absolute worst place for you to be online is https://t.co/J3Rfto6fi3.

We will work directly with law enforcement without hesitation, as was displayed today.

Can the same be said about Big Tech?

— Gab.com🍂 (@getongab) October 27, 2018

Gab’s blacklisting has not gone unnoticed:

Update: PayPal has cancelled its relationship with social media company @getongab in wake of the Pittsburgh #SynogogueShooting .. but not Facebook, where he reportedly also had an account.

— scott budman (@scottbudman) October 27, 2018

Hey @getongab: I haven’t heard anyone complaining that @facebook and @twitter allowed the Mad Pipe Bomber to have multiple accounts with them.

— Jared Beck (@JaredBeck) October 27, 2018

Gab is not a white supremacist site. It’s a free speech platform.

I cannot believe this. CNN and @BrianStelter, who I like, are blaming GAB @GetOnGab for the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting.

— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) October 27, 2018

The Pittsburgh terrorist has a Gab and facebook account.

– Gab immedietly deleted his account and issued a statement CONDEMNING it.
– Facebook have yet to issue a statement.

Yet @paypal have BANNED Gab “just because”, but haven’t banned facebook.

What’s up? https://t.co/1aPY5vvleE

— PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) October 27, 2018

Others were happy to see Gab get the “Alex Jones” treatment, including “The world’s youngest hedge fund manager” Jacob Wohl, who called for a police state with the suggestion that “Law enforcement agencies should embed thousands of undercover accounts on the site and establish watchlists.”

@getongab I’m looking forward to you receiving the Alex Jones treatment and being permanently banned from the internet, even if it does bend the law.

— Robert Caruso (@robertcaruso) October 27, 2018

The concept Gab pursued, of being a “Free Speech Platform”, is noble.

But let’s also be realistic. The site is a one giant cesspool of Jew-hating lunatics.

Law enforcement agencies should embed thousands of undercover accounts on the site and establish watchlists.

— Jacob Wohl (@JacobAWohl) October 27, 2018

Twitter is one giant cesspool of Jew-hating lunatics.

We have nearly 800,000 users and you are going to generalize them all as one thing?

Let’s be realistic: you are no better than the left, which you rally against, for generalizing millions of people as “racists.” https://t.co/HdXvqJ13zU

— Gab.com🍂 (@getongab) October 27, 2018

Alternatively, Gab has a “mute” feature.

Nonsense. I muted maybe 20-30 accounts on @getongab and that got rid of all the anti-semitic garbage I used to come across. THAT is the concept. They get to spew crap, I decide whether I want to see it.

“Giant cesspool”. Get real.

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Tree of Life Synagogue shooting during a baby naming ceremony claimed 11 lives and wounded several police officers. The perpetrator, a Jew hater and Trump hater is now the new poster boy for leftist mainstream media propaganda to control the narrative to influence the midterms. The mainstream media targeting of Independent media and anyone questioning the narrative guarantees midterm madness is only going to increase as we move forward. - Jon Bowne

people used to be able to say anything on social media. That was its strength, and also its weakness. I've seen more than one discussion forum descent into an endless steam of "flame wars," which is why AWRM has moderators. But calling someone an idiot is one thing, threatening to kill someone is something else entirely. Of course, few of these threats are serious. But sadly, on rare occasions, they are.

Should PayPal have severed ties with Gab? PayPal is a private company, and they have every right to decide who they will do business with. It seems hypocritical that they would punish Gab and not Facebook or Twitter, but they have every right to be hypocritical as well. Ironically, by publicly refusing to do business with Gab, they may very well have done more advertising for Gab than Gab ever could.

Paypal has been leftist from the beginning. They have always been anti-second amendment.

But, that's ok. There are alternatives to the jerks at paypal too.

Should the (alleged) synagogue shooter be executed? Frankly, I'm ambivalent. If you're going to have a death penalty, there are few people who deserve it more than he does. But here is reason magazine's argument against the death penalty.

Quote
It's looking increasingly likely that Robert Bowers—who's accused of murdering 11 people at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue on Saturday—could face the death penalty.

In the hours after the massacre, President Donald Trump was the most prominent public figure to call for the suspected shooter's execution. "When people do this, they should get the death penalty," Trump told reporters. "Anybody that does a thing like this to innocent people that are in temple or in church...they should be suffering the ultimate price, they should pay the ultimate price."

Prosecutors appear to be in agreement. Earlier today, Justice Department spokesperson Marc Raimondi told Fox News that Scott Brady, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, has begun the process of seeking the death penalty for Bowers. Brady still needs the approval of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Capital punishment is currently legal under federal law, thanks to the 1976 Supreme Court ruling in Gregg v. Georgia. It's also allowed in the majority of states, though some (most recently Washington state) have outlawed state-sponsored executions.

In Pennsylvania, capital punishment is legal in certain circumstances. Bowers is facing federal as well as state charges, since he was allegedly motivated by anti-Semitic sentiments. It's a problematic issue in and of itself that his fate could be decided in a federal court rather than a state one. As Reason's Jacob Sullum observed following the 2015 Charleston church shooting, the feds were able to charge Dylan Roof under the federal hate crime statute since Roof was motivated by racism. "It is an unconstitutional attempt to federalize a crime that South Carolina's courts are perfectly capable of handling, for the sake of sending a message that the criminal law should not be used to send," Sullum wrote. Similarly, Bowers now faces federal charges due to his anti-Semitism.

But whether Bowers is sentenced by a federal or state court doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't be executed. To be clear, his alleged crime was nothing short of heinous. To gun down 11 people, some of them elderly, while they were worshiping is despicable. If found guilty, he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

That being said, the government should not be in the business of executions. Civil libertarians and classical liberals have long argued against capital punishment. "The death penalty is uncivilized in theory and unfair and inequitable in practice," the ACLU argues. "Well-publicized problems with the death penalty process—wrongful convictions, arbitrary application, and high costs—have convinced many libertarians that capital punishment is just one more failed government program that should be scrapped," Ben Jones writes at Libertarianism.org.

For one thing, there are numerous questions over the death penalty drugs administered to death row inmates. As Reason has documented in the past, states often operate in the shadows when it comes to these drugs. In one instance, Texas even sought to procure banned drugs from a shady company overseas. There have also been questions regarding how humane death by lethal injection really is.

From a practical standpoint, the death penalty is simply too expensive. Studies from various states suggest it's more expensive for the government to put someone to death than it is to keep them behind bars for life, according to Amnesty International.

But the main reason Bowers shouldn't be put to death is simple: It's not the government's job to put its own citizens to death. As Reason's Nick Gillespie wrote in 2014:

Quote
The state's first role—and arguably its only one—is protecting the lives and property of its citizens. In everything it does—from collecting taxes to seizing property for public works to incentivizing "good" behaviors and habits—it should use the least violence or coercion possible.

No matter how despicable murderers can be, the state can make sure we're safe by locking them up behind bars for the rest of their—and our—lives. That's not only a cheaper answer than state-sanctioned murder, it's a more moral one, too.


Again, all the evidence suggests Bowers is a monster. But killing him won't bring back the 11 people whose lives he's allegedly responsible for ending. Revenge is not the same thing as justice, and in this case, justice is best served by imprisonment, not more death.

Once again "reason" shows their abject ignorance.

Hang the bastard publicly and be done with it.

I don't entirely agree or disagree. I honestly don't care for the death penalty, especially as it's practiced today. But there are a few crimes so heinous, so atrocious, that no other penalty would really suffice. Israel has a death penalty and has used in once, for Adolph Eichmann. I don't know if it should be that rare, but it wouldn't break my heart if it were.

Has anti-Semitism increased under President Trump? Nope, The ADL's report shows that attacks have decreased since Trump took office.

Quote
In the wake of the horrific mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last week, many in the media claimed the attack happened amidst a climate of rising anti-Semitism: a 57 percent spike in anti-Semitic hate in 2017, fueled by the ascendance of Donald Trump to the presidency.

While it's true the anti-Semitic alt-right had a period of increased activity last year—and that Trump's divisive rhetoric about minorities, the media, and globalism certainly doesn't help matters—the evidence for the oft-cited spike is weak.

The figure comes from a report by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League. It was released back in February, but is making the rounds once again following the terrible violence in Pittsburgh. A representative piece in The Washington Post, written by GQ's Julia Ioffe, argued that "According to the Anti-Defamation League, the incidence of anti-Semitic hate crimes jumped nearly 60 percent in 2017, the biggest increase since it started keeping track in 1979. What made 2017 so different? It was Trump's first year in office."

Ioffe went on CNN and said that Trump "has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did," a comment that drew widespread condemnation. She subsequently apologized for using "hyperbole," but held her ground on the underlying point. "I will add, though, that it is not a coincidence that the number of anti-Semitic attacks has jumped nearly 60% in 2017," she wrote on Twitter.

But Ioffe mischaracterized the statistic. The New York Times did as well; a March 2018 piece about the ADL's report leads with the sentence, "Anti-Semitic hate crimes are on the rise, up 57 percent in 2017 from 2016."

The ADL statistic captures anti-Semitic "incidents," which is a much broader category of behavior than "hate crimes" or "attacks." Incidents include things like bullying in schools—which is bad, but usually not indicative of criminal conduct.

Indeed, classroom and campus incidents were partly responsible for the spike, according to the ADL: "The sharp rise, reported in ADL's Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, was in part due to a significant increase in incidents in schools and on college campuses, which nearly doubled for the second year in a row."

[nBut, as Volokh Conspiracy blogger and George Mason University Law Professor David Bernstein pointed out, there's actually a lot of left-wing anti-Israel sentiment on many university campuses. I don't think all criticisms of the state of Israel are inherently anti-Semitic, but it's quite possible a large number of the documented incidents in this category were perceived that way by pro-Israel students—and the originators would have been leftist activists, not Trump lovers.[/b]

The ADL report came up with three subcategories of anti-Semitic incidents: vandalism, harassment, and assault. An increase in vandalism accounts for much of the overall increase, but Bernstein doubts that all of the included incidents were actually examples of anti-Semitism. The harassment category also saw an increase, largely due to a series of bomb threats against Jewish institutions in the U.S. made by a disturbed Israeli teen. It's not at all clear that these threats were motivated by anti-Semitism.

Finally, the assault category saw a 47 percent decrease.

Compiling reliable data on hate crimes and bias incidents is tricky business, as I have noted previously. A big issue is that better reporting—more people submitting more reliable information—often masquerades as an increase in the thing being counted. It could be that in the first year of the Trump administration, watchdog groups are simply better attuned to the anti-Semitism that already existed in America.

This does not mean Trump is off the hook: His enemy-of-the-people rhetoric about the media, immigrants, societal elites, globalism, etc., is wildly irresponsible, and conservative media should stop engaging in anti-Semitic dog whistling. But we ought not to make sweeping claims about a Trump-fueled rise in anti-Semitism since the data is not all that convincing.

A rep from the adl was just on npr and blamed Trump for the 57% increase in anti Semitic hate crimes since he took office.

The American jew is incredibly stupid. The majority have learned nothing from their own history. They continue to be socialist liberal democrats who support gun control and refuse to defend themselves. That ignorant attitude is what allowed the Nazi's to murder millions of their ancestors.

I'm tired of their constant whining about the holocaust while they refuse to do anything to prevent the next one

The Jewish Left: A danger to Jewry and Israel


Larry Klayman About | Email | Archive


Let me get one thing clear up front. I am a proud Jew and Zionist! Jesus spoke to me on three occasions when I was very down and out and going through a very difficult period in my life, so I also became a proud Christian. That’s why I call myself a Jewish Christian.

Thus, from my spiritual perspective and worldview, Jews and Christians are blood brothers. Jesus, whether one believes that he was the Son of God or not, was a rabbi and thus a Jew through and through. He did not have an anti-Semitic bone in his heavenly body.

But there are those throughout history who sought to divide the two peoples and also persecute them, and perhaps some of the worst offenders are some prominent Jews themselves.

Who am I talking about? I am talking about many in the so called “Jewish Left.”

Lets begin with Karl Marx, move to Leon Trotsky under Soviet Communist anti-Semitic regimes, and then go to modern-day self-hating Jews like George Soros and some of his followers in Congress and elsewhere throughout the nation and the world. In recent days, the leftist media has exploited conservative criticism of George Soros as a foil to allege that we are stoking anti-Semitism in the lead-up and wake of the terrible murder of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue. This is a perversion of history, for it is not generally conservatives who are anti-Semitic, but Soros himself.

It is not in dispute that to save their own skin, under the “tutelage” of his father, “Little Leftist George” collaborated with the Nazis during World War II to confiscate the property of fellow Jews headed for Hitler’s gas chambers and ovens. Since then Soros has not done anything discernible to even apologize for this heinous act. I, for one, would have rather gone to my own death in a Nazi concentration camp than sell out my fellow Jews.


Fast forward to the aftermath of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre. Leftist Jews such as Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN host Jake Tapper, at the obvious direction of CNN head Jeff Zucker, and billionaire and fellow Soros Democratic financier Tom Steyer (whose father was Jewish) wasted no time going on the airwaves to attack President Trump, incredibly blaming him for the massacre and suggesting that he is an anti-Semite, not to mention the cause of attempted bombings last week of leftist Democrats. This shameless political ploy intended to influence voters in the lead-up to the midterm elections next week, leveled in the wake of the deadliest attack on Jews in our nation’s history, was “one upped” by the likes of leftist Jewish writer Dana Milbank of the anti-Trump Washington Post, who wasted no time, while bodies were still being processed in morgues, penning an opinion piece titled “Trump’s America is Not A Safe Place for Jews” (Oct. 29, 2018).

In it, the rabid Milbank writes:

“George Washington, in his 1790 letter to Touro Synagogue in Newport, R.I., told Jews they would be safe in the new Nation. …

“Now President Trump has violated Washington’s compact. He has given sanction to bigotry and assistance to persecution. After the shooting in Pittsburgh, which the [leftist] Anti-Defamation League believes is the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history, there is no longer safety under the vine and fig tree.”

But if truth be told by us other, non-leftist Jews – the ones who truly are in sync with the Jewish masses here and in Israel – President Trump has proven in just two short years in office to be the biggest friend of Jewry there ever was in the White House. Not only has he finally made good on the heretofore unfulfilled pledge of prior presidents, including a truly anti-Semitic one, Barack Hussein Obama, to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the Jewish state’s capital of Jerusalem, but he and his Jewish son-in-law and daughter have tried to further real peace in the Middle East for the benefit of Jews, opposing Iran and other terrorist states and interests that want to destroy Israel. He has also rightly opposed radical Muslim immigration into the United States, issuing executive orders for better screening of terrorist implants. I could go on and on.

To the contrary the Jewish Left in this country has generally tried to thwart all of the president’s pro-Jewish and pro-Israel initiatives. The leftist and partisan Anti-Defamation League even sided with radical terrorist-connected Muslim groups, such as the Council for American-Islamic Relations, to oppose The Donald’s immigration efforts to weed Muslim terrorists out of our broken entry system. Fortunately, rubber-stamped by leftist judges in the lower federal courts mostly in San Francisco and Hawaii, the Jewish Left’s efforts hit a brick at the Supreme Court.

And here is the rub. Evil neo-Nazis like the murderer of 11 Jews at the Pittsburgh synagogue, in racist rants on social media, in effect pointed to leftist Jews as furthering the immigration of Muslims into the country. This domestic terrorist in effect justified this unjustifiable heinous massacre as a reaction to the Jewish Left aiding and abetting the influx of Muslims into the United States.

While most Jews, including yours truly, are not in favor of banning all Muslims from our shores, it is ironic that many in the Jewish Left will vilify President Trump as the cause of the Pittsburgh tragedy, but not look into the mirror and recognize that their reflexively anti-Trump actions may have provoked this neo-Nazi maniac to kill 11 of our fellow Jews.

Here’s the bottom line: The Jewish Left, particularly in this country, is not representative of the overwhelming majority of Jews here, in Israel and worldwide. But regrettably, they are giving professed sick cause to lunatics like the Pittsburgh shooter to work their evil.

So its time for the Jewish Left to stop blaming the most pro-Jewish and pro-Israel president in our nation’s modern history, and look inward for some of the reasons for the rise in anti-Semitism.

And for this reason, and to combat the Jewish Left, I am today forming Freedom Watch’s “Coalition of the Jewish Right,”which I urge all like-minded Jews and fellow Christians to join to combat the Jewish Left. Go to www.freedomwatchusa.org to join.

Anyone ever notice how the ADL and the SPLC tend to reach the same conclusions?

Where is the JDL when they are needed? Unfortunately most with a pair immigrated to Israel.

The JDL has been named a "Terrorist Group " by our government and run underground for all intensive purposes , much like many militia groups and other Patriot groups have done over the years to not be so targeted .
They are out there , JDL type groups , I know personally that they are considering my ties with the Karaite Jewish community .... https://youtu.be/HFJZ3VREW_s
