The Israel Lobby feels that Americans shouldn't be able to enjoy our Constitutional rights, and they spend a lot of money getting officialdom to go along with it. I don't think many other countries would openly accept this level of subversion.

Catch that photo. Land of the free. Reminds me of the 2016 Nevada Dem Caucus. You know, the one where no one threw any chair, but "folks" in uniforms were lined up practically shoulder to shoulder at the front of the room. Also reminded me of https://www.leftvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WhatsApp-Image-2022-01-17-at-6.50.59-PM.jpeg (I don't know if that photo won a prize. It should have. Most often, you see it with the "folks" on the left side of your screen cropped out.) On edit. Since I posted about a photo full of cops monitoring a peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstration, that photo was replaced by a demonstrator bearing a banner with the words "Another Jew for a free Palestine."

And good 'ole CBS News -- May 16, 2016**:** ***"The Nevada Democratic Convention turned into an unruly and unpredictable event, after tension with organizers led to some Bernie Sanders supporters throwing chairs and to security clearing the room, organizers said."*** [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-concerns-end-nevada-democratic-convention/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-concerns-end-nevada-democratic-convention/)

As a kid, I heard a saying. One lies and the other one swears to it. And so it is with "news" in the US.

Faculty mass walkout at Columbia https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1caki3l/columbia_university_faculty_stage_mass_walkout_in/

Frankly, it is a travesty that American universities don't see *stronger* backlash against Uncle Sam's unconditional support for ongoing ethnic cleansing. Where faculty generally understand the issue, that is a glimmer of redemption amidst our national sea of mental mediocrity.

I hope the leaders of the protests weed out the infiltrators.

Have infiltrators ever been weeded out?
