Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There it is folks.

Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch

declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term. 

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

I want the thickest possible wall between me and the genocide supporters. Like of course, within the resistance I want to unite and not be divisive, but if we allow genocide supporters into the movement then it ain't worth shit.

No kindness for monsters, and we need to be firm with pulling people away from falling in line with the monsters.

The problem is that too many people aren't paying attention or lack the awareness to see what's happening. Power gets placed in the hands of those who are easily manipulated—precisely so the masses will fight each other while thinking they're doing good. Our only real solution is unity. We can't push people away just because they have different opinions. Some are blinded by misinformation, some are lost in their own bubbles, some can't accept the truth because of ego, and yes—some do have bad intentions. But most don't. We need to distinguish between those who are misled and those who are deliberately causing harm. Rejecting everyone who disagrees only strengthens the division that benefits those in power. Meet people where they are, challenge ideas with patience, and build bridges wherever possible. Division is their strategy. Unity is ours.
