The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say: We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we'll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
Please check it out! This a bold new step that will strive for more democracy/transparency, etc. in 9/11 truth blogging (or at least WTCD blogging!)
[Bumping this in honor of the LIHOP offensive afoot at 911blogger that includes attacks on David Ray Griffin's character timed to take advantage of his current health issues. -gReT 2/15/11]
Central to the official 9/11 narrative is the allegation that four flights were hijacked by Arab Muslims working for al Qaeda. Little to no real evidence exists to support this claim.
Hi Gretavo!
I hope you're doing well! Yesterday I decided to visit this blog again, after years. Then I noticed that there are only 3 posts on my blog left, there's one post ('More Russia Times news') that I'm sure I never posted, and also my post "Islamophobia in Switzerland - The 'anti-minaret' referendum" was completely messed up, the text was really weird and scrambled. Today however, the text seems to be normal again. Really weird.... I'm also not able to post comments. I tried to send you a private message, but that seems impossible. Could you please completely delete my account and blog entries ? I'm not able to do that myself, when i visit the 'My account' page its also completely empty.
If possible, could you please also edit my username Scrubby to something random in posts that contain my username ?
Thanks and regards
Shabbos Kestenbaum, the former Harvard Divinity School student suing Harvard for antisemitism, has recently changed his script—he has gone from falsely claiming (on Fox and in Congress) I threatened him with a machete to saying I “taunted” him with one. Good advice from his lawyer, the alcoholic pervert Marc Kassowitz.
See, he could reasonably make the argument that I was taunting him by waving a plastic toy machete while talking about my campaign to get Harvard to admit Derek Bok lied when he officially exonerated Alan Dershowitz from plagiarism charges (contrasting that with the performative outrage over Claudine Gay’s citation errors.)
Though the subject of the video was the controversy that involved Elena Kagan, Derek Bok, Alan Dershowitz, and Norman Finkelstein, I used as a background a screenshot of my reply to Kestenbaum to his post on Twitter dishonestly decrying the comments I wrote on illegally glued atrocity propaganda posters as antisemitic instead of antizionist. So was I taunting him? Sure—I was implicitly mocking his ridiculous claims by pointing out the evidence of Harvard’s hypocrisy with regard to the lynching of Harvard’s first black president.
Where Kestenbaum has lied ???? is every time he suggests I threatened him in any way. I did indeed challenge him to debate me, explaining that I spent every lunch hour in literally the most trafficked place on campus and he should come debate me about Israeli involvement in 9/11.
As Mr. Kestenbaum has declared before congress and in the right wing media, and I presume to my former employer, this amounted to me inviting him to debate him “in a secluded underpass as to whether Jews did 9/11.” And proceeding to post a video threatening him with a machete. A machete, again, made of plastic and that is a known symbol of Puerto Rican independence.
While, again, what actually happened is that a guy with an anti-Palestinian and anti DEI agenda had spent months shitting on my alma mater, up to and including colluding, in effect if not intent, with billionaire alumni and Congress to roll back 300 years of progress in Harvard’s atonement for past sins against africans and native americans in the process of defending Zionism from criticism.
Responding to this onslaught with a reply to a tweet that the guy posts on Twitter where he lists Media Personality as his business, and sending him a strident but toothless email (accidentally not switching the sender in my email app from my work to personal address) reiterating my challenge to debate, resulted in my termination from a position I held for a quarter century, one in which I was an award-winning and respected professional with a spotless record.
As someone who graduated from Harvard College despite the difficulties coping with the University’s indifference to class—when you were expected to learn your place based on what you or your parents could afford, I could not, cannot, and will never keep from speaking out against the decades long conspiracy by Zionists and White Supremacists to stop Harvard’s progress from elite club to global resource.
