  4. Big Bullshit Story

    I don’t mind if after the job is done you put me in front of a Nuremberg Trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, as a war criminal. What you don’t understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it.

    –Ariel Sharon, Dec. 17, 1982

    A photograph circulating online of a lone Black woman on a subway train surrounded by masked khaki-clad members of the White supremacist group Patriot Front is receiving a lot of attention. It was captured by Reuters photojournalist Cheney Orr on the morning of July 4th, this weekend.

    The Patriot Front members were on their way to Washington, D.C., to participate in an unplanned march to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial this past weekend. It is not known whether the woman was headed to the same destination or to celebrate anything at all.

    One would expect her to be afraid.

    However, she appears fearless. Calm. Stoic. Regal even. Her presence in the midst of a bunch of menacing, khaki-clad cowards is bizarre. The juxtaposition is stark.

    As far as I’m aware, she has not jumped on any social media bandwagon to express any fear or loathing.

    Now contrast the unnamed lady in the green t-shirt with the antics of Mayim Bialik, star of Big Bang Theory!

    Mayim appeared recently on an episode of the Second Thought with Suzy Weiss and The Free Press podcast1 and recalled being terrified of being approached by a man in a Zionism is racism t-shirt.

    Mayim, of course, needs little introduction. She is famous for playing Blossom on the NBC sitcom before starring as Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory, which I’m a huge fan of. Besides being an accomplished actress, Mayim is an intelligent woman who impressively holds a PhD in neuroscience. Suzi Weiss is the younger sister of Bari Weiss, founder of The Free Press, and is currently on an assignment from billionaire David Ellison to destroy CBS News.

    Okay, I made that last part up, but that’s effectively what Bari Weiss is doing. It’s no secret that CBS has been a thorn in the side of Donald Trump’s Republican Party, but also to Zionist interests. However, neither of the Weiss sisters is instrumental to Mayim’s preposterous tale of terror, beyond platforming it. Unfortunately, they have hitched their wagon to the dystopian cause of Zionism, one that apparently is also dear to Mayim’s heart.

    Mayim Bialik is an outspoken supporter of Israel. She has often been criticised for her stance. In 2024, she promoted a children’s book, Under The Rockets’ Glow: Shira’s Journey to Courage, which exposed her indifference to the suffering of Palestinian children under Israel’s brutal occupation. Needless to say, she was excoriated for supporting a narrative that ignores the suffering of Palestinian children under constant Israeli bombardment, also known as “mowing the lawn,” while advancing the fears of Israeli children as somehow greater.

    In the podcast, she claims that she was afraid of what her children (teenagers, apparently) were about to witness while being confronted by a man in a t-shirt with an anti-Zionist slogan. Yet again, she so callously forgets the horrors Palestinian children witness on an hourly basis under a depraved Israeli Zionist occupation. In the end, the “confrontation” did not result in her being physically harmed. I’m inclined to see why – a man wearing an anti-zionist t-shirt is surely less menacing than a khaki-clad, masked Patriot Front goon, and of considerably more moral character.

    Bialik seems to have continued this tradition of false equivalence by embellishing a story about being confronted by a man wearing a t-shirt adorned with what is objectively a simple truth: Zionism is a racist, colonialist ideology that promotes the aspirations of one ethnic group at the devastating expense of another.

    Ze’ev Jabotinsky was the militant leader of the Revisionist Zionist movement and the leading exponent for the creation of a Jewish homeland on both banks of the Jordan River. His writings confirm that Zionism is a colonising project. In 1923, he wrote the following essay titled Iron Wall:

    A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else-or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE!… Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important… to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonizing.

    Jabotinsky never became a leader of the broader Zionist movement because of a falling-out. While his colonising ambitions prevailed, later leaders from Chaim Weizmann, David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Menachem Begin, to Yitzhak Rabin, ensured that its ethno-fascist, racist heritage was entrenched and enforced.

    It is deeply troubling that since October 7th, 2023, Zionism has become increasingly conflated with antisemitism. This is no doubt a defence mechanism instituted by the Israeli propaganda machinery, as Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestine becomes increasingly tenuous and desperate.

    In the encounter she is describing, Bialik was not terrified of the man or the t-shirt. She was terrified of the truth that the message on the t-shirt conveyed.

  5. Home - CBSNews.com | Could Intel's chips save the U.S. economy?

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Intel’s advanced semiconductor chips could become a pivotal engine for reviving the U.S. economy, argues Patrick McGee, a contributing writer for The Free Press, in a CBS News 24/7 interview. McGee explains that a robust domestic chip industry would not only protect critical supply chains but also stimulate manufacturing, drive innovation, and create high‑skill jobs, positioning semiconductor production as a strategic cornerstone for economic growth. The discussion highlights how leveraging Intel’s technology may help the United States regain a competitive edge and strengthen long‑term economic resilience.

  7. #CBSNews itself doesn’t seem to have become right wing. You can’t point to many right-wing pieces by the network, at least not yet. #BariWeiss is a liberal and seems to have swung the network to the center.

    What is “right wing” is #TheFreePress, which is owned by #CBSNews now, and is predominantly #ClassicalLiberal, which modern leftists tend to confuse with #Conservatism.

  8. The CBS News website now is plastered with ads from Bari Weis’ first business, The Free Press.

    That seems like a conflict of interest and diminishes the work of both organizations. Corruption has no limits these days. It’s sad.

  10. The #HonestlyWithBariWeiss podcast is now an insane feed of pro war propaganda. It's been ridiculously dismissive of any concern for Palestinian lives since October 7th, but holy fuck now. The lady who says her number one goal is having those difficult conversations has never had on anyone who seriously differs with her on Israeli policy afaict, despite how bloodthirsty that nation has now become. #TheFreePress

  12. #MarcAndreessen's over on #TheFreePress talking about criminally prosecuting people who worked for the Biden administration again. Currently listening to him rant ca. 1:37:00 but it comes up more than once.

    He makes a lot of other outlandish claims about things like #censorship and #AI that I'm not personally 100% certain are outright lies like the many things he said on #JoeRogan... but I certainly suspect a lot of them are lies.

  14. This is a great article by Katherine Boyle that talks about the lack of ‘seriousness’ in the USA, but also considers the wider geopolitical situation. We’re living at a time when world leaders are ever-older, and people between the ages of 18 and 29 just don’t have… that much to do with their time? The Boomer ascendancy in America and industrialized nations has left us with a global gerontocracy and a languishing generation waiting in the wings. Not only does extended adolescence—what psychologist Erik Erikson first referred to as a “psychosocial moratorium” or the interim years between childhood and adulthood— affect the public life of younger generations, but their private lives as well. […] In many ways, the emergence of extended adolescence was designed both to coddle the young and to conceal an obvious fact: that the usual leadership turnover across institutions is no longer happening. That the old are quite happy to continue delaying aging and the finality it brings, while the young dither away their prime years with convenient excuses and even better TikTok videos. […] So in 2023, here we are: in a tri-polar geopolitical order led by septuagenarians and octogenarians. Xi Jinping, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have little in common, but all three are entering their 70s and 80s, orchestrating the final acts of their political careers and frankly, their lives. That we are beholden to the decisions of leaders whose worldviews were shaped by the wars, famines, and innovations of a bygone world, pre-Internet and before widespread mass education, is in part why our political culture feels so stale. That the gerontocracy is a global phenomenon and not just an American quirk should concern us: younger generations who are native to technological strength, modern science and emerging cultural ailments are still sidelined and pursuing status markers they should have achieved a decade ago.
