New Details Emerge on Mysterious, Controversial KKK Imagery Display Truck Found on Cal Poly Humboldt
The mobile digital truck with three KKK members and a Palestinian male showing as the driver photographed the vehicle on Tuesday. [Photo provided by a witness]
In the first article we noted that the driver, identified as Sergey Vladimirovich Polishchuk, was arrested for trespassing amidst heightened campus tensions following the arrests of Pro Palestinian protesters early Tuesday morning.
Close up of the digital display truck.
New information provided by a reader, who captured a clearer image of the truck and its driver on the April 30, reveals more about the provocative nature of the display. According to the witness, the driver was seen photographing his vehicle near the J lot on Granite Street.
Further closeup of the driver of digital truck.
He told us,
They were out there on Tuesday too! I took the attached photo (cropped for anonymity) at about 10:18am….The guy standing behind/to the right of the truck taking photos is the driver. There’s red text at the bottom, “HATE = HATE”, with the KKK on the left and someone wearing a keffiyeh on the right, implying that they view either Palestinians or Palestine supporters as hateful. Contextually I’m inferring that this person conflates anti-Zionism with [anti-Semitism], which…is a really stupid comparison because the former is a political stance, there are plenty of Jews against this settler-colonial genocide… .
The display in the May 1st incident also lasted briefly before the truck’s screen was turned off, making the vehicle look like a typical nondescript truck. The use of high-resolution LED screens allows for such real-time content changes, which has raised concerns about the potential for misuse of such technology.
The incident adds to other similar controversies involving mobile display trucks including a prior event at the University of Virginia.
At least one other witness places the vehicle near campus protests earlier than April 30th.
Polishchuk [a spokesperson for Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department was unable to identify his country of origin at this time] was released after posting bail. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the motives behind the display and whether it constituted a free speech exercise or crossed legal boundaries by potentially inciting violence.

Don’t see how the message Hate=Hate could incite violence.
Cool truck though. Didn’t know they existed. You could have all kinds of fun with one of those.
Mercedes Benz…..Must have cost a bundle unless you can rent them.
What was the crime, Truth!
The crime was trespassing – the driver was arrested for entering the campus which was closed and not open to the public.
No one’s free speech rights were abridged.
It’s amazing how easily people are freaked out these days!
This is what I have been afraid of. Having done protests against the Iraq war and Wall Street, I learned that there are often imposters that want to interfere with the real goals of the protesters. I recall being harassed because I did not go into a bank by a hanger on. I and my fellow protesters just ignored him because we knew not to go into private property when you are protesting. Hopefully, the real student protesters have learned from this.
I’m glad that you use a real name and do not hide fearfully behind anonymity. That’s a mark of a real American.
or a retired person.
A Professional sh_t show stirrer upper. I am impressed.
It’s free speech. Despicable, but now we know who to shun.
The problem is when one group attempts to pin inflammatory speech or acts on another.
Despicable no, the Oct. 7th act of barbarism was despicable. The left ignoring that dark day doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Long live Israel—-and yes, never again.
Right. So lets murder every citizen of the offending country.
only combatants are targeted
But mostly civilians are killed.
Even Israel admits as much.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html
Any combat veteran will tell you that civilians always take more casualties in war than the armies. The article you shared from CNN says the ratio of civilians to Hamas militants killed is about 2 to 1, and I’ve seen the same number in other sources. By contrast, the ratio is between 7 and 9 in most wars. The IDF has taken extraordinary care to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza.
They could have prevented all this in the first place by working in good faith towards a two-state solution.
Even now, Israel could have peace if they really wanted it. https://apnews.com/article/hamas-khalil-alhayya-qatar-ceasefire-1967-borders-4912532b11a9cec29464eab234045438
True that. If Israel had honored the Oslo accords they would have dismantled the settlements in the West Bank and withdrawn to the pre-1967 borders and the PLO/PA had accepted Israel’s right to exist none of this would have happened. The problem is that neither side is willing to accept a two state solution.
Israel did undertake some measures to transfer control over certain areas to the Palestinian Authority in accordance with the Oslo Accords. This included the withdrawal of Israeli troops from major Palestinian population centers and the transfer of administrative control to the newly formed Palestinian Authority.
There were instances where territories transferred to Palestinian control under the Oslo Accords were used as launching points for attacks against Israel. This was a significant challenge to the peace process and contributed to increased tensions between the two sides.
Some militant groups, such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, operated within areas under Palestinian control and carried out attacks against Israeli civilians and military targets. These attacks included suicide bombings, shootings, and other forms of violence.
The Israeli government pointed to these attacks as evidence of the failure of the Oslo Accords to provide security guarantees for Israel. It argued that Palestinian authorities were not doing enough to prevent terrorist activities and dismantle militant infrastructure within their territories.
These security concerns became a major obstacle to the peace process and led to increased Israeli military incursions into Palestinian areas, as well as the construction of security barriers and checkpoints.
Basically every time land has been given back. it has then been used to launch terrorists attacks into Israel.
That’s a very good summary of what happened to the Oslo Accords. Arafat lied, and was never going to accept the right of Israel to exist. When I was in Palestine in 2001 there were lots of PA policemen on the streets. I was there again a year ago and I didn’t see any at all.
You live in a fantasy land if you think a 2 state solution will work. The overwhelming number of Palestinians support the view of hamas which is wiping Isreal and jews off the map they have said so. Just look at Oct. 7th when a bunch of barbarians raped and killed without hesitation including children. But you think they could just coexist if only those bullying Israelis would just allow themselves to be overun,tortured,raped and killed. You live in a fantasy land and are casting the aggressors as victims its not reality
It’s hard to choke down the idea that toddlers are the aggressors. The UN says, “As of 22 April, more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 14,685 children and 9,670 women, the High Commissioner’s office said, citing the enclave’s health authorities. Another 77,084 have been injured, and over 7,000 others are assumed to be under the rubble.” https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148876#:~:text=As%20of%2022%20April%2C%20more,to%20be%20under%20the%20rubble.
Yes, and no one is suggesting that toddlers are he aggressors.
For decades and decades Palestinian terrorists have intentionally targets babies and other civilians in terrorists attacks, while at the same time placing their military apparatus in places like hospitals and daycare centers, because it deterred attacks from Israel.
I do not support an religious ethnostate, but it is clear that Israel has been, and continues to be the lessor of these two evils.
The UN has decided to accept figures provided by Hamas. I find that outrageous, but lets assume that they are accurate.
The western would would not ask any of our other allies to suffer the terrorism that Israel has while being hamstrung by evil terrorists who make use of human shields.
I’ve yet to see a single story of Palestinians fighting against Hamas.
This war could end tomorrow if Hamas released its hostages and relinquished power.
I’m 100% sure that Iran and Hamas would work in good faith!
You obviously have no idea what you are taking about. Every Palestinian leader in history who cam around to a two state solution, lost support of the Palestinian people. Now that Hamas committed a mass murder/raping they are willing to call truce? That’s hilarious. Hamas clings to power at the cost of Palestinian peoples lives.
They should be front runners for a Nobel Peace Prize
In 1994 the Nobel Peace Prize was split between Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres for signing the Oslo Peace Accords. I’m so sorry neither side held up their end of the bargain.
At least one side (Israel) made an effort.
Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by zionists for working towards peace.
True that. Like I said, neither side wants a two state solution.
It’s tough to fight a cowardly Hamas that uses civilians for human shields.
Palestinian Territory – The Israeli military continues to use Palestinian civilians as human shields in its military operation inside the al-Shifa Medical Complex and its vicinity in Gaza City.
https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/gaza-israeli-army-uses-palestinian-civilians-human-shields-its-operation-shifa-medical-complex-and-its-vicinity-enar
A Hamas attack on an aid crossing that killed Israeli troops last night was branded as proof that the terror group is using Palestinians as ‘human shields’, dashing hopes for an end to the violence in Gaza.
Ten rockets were launched from Rafah close to civilian shelters in southern Gaza towards the Kerem Shalom aid crossing yesterday – killing three soldiers and injuring 11 civilians the Israeli military said.
https://assets.msn.com/staticsb/statics/latest/views/icons/textExpand_filled.svg Continue reading
As a result, it was closed to aid trucks travelling from Israel, just as the head of the UN World Food Programme warned of a ‘full-blown famine’ in northern Gaza.
2:1 if you consider every male over 14 Hamas.
I am not so concerned about the dead. What haunts me is the huge number of permanently injured children. Still alive to suffer, and now be starved.
Yes and very possibly become terrorists themselves due to their experiences. Religion poisons everything.
You let your zionist ideals cloud what is clearly genocide against Gaza Palestinians.
There’s plenty of blame to go around.
Pay no attention to the fact Israel was attacked and people (civilians) were murdered and raped for no other reason than they were Jews or were hanging out with Jews. Pay no attention. War is Hell.
Israel has also played the part of the aggressor.
Both sides need to stop.
At least Hamas has offered to disengage if Israel was willing to do its part.
It’s like punching someone in the eye and then yelling truce because you know they are going to kick your ass. I think it is very understandable that Israel will not stop until Hamas is destroyed and hostages are returned.
Start telling the Palestinians, Hamas, Iran to stop with as much zeal as you have with your demagoguery toward Jews. Let’s hear it Jebs! Hamas can release the Hostages but has been unwilling to do so! Israel was protecting itself from yet another arrack from people like Hamas that vow to exterminate them. You are as disingenuous as Hamas with your comments.
You seem to read things which are not there,
while also not reading the things that are.
That might help to explain why the positions you assign me
are so far removed from the positions I actually hold.
Did you expect Israel to not respond to the horror of October 7? What do you think they should have done?
Israel will do whatever the US allows it to do.
The US in not in control of Israel. Israeli will, as it always has, take actions to ensure its survival. As long as the US is a mostly trustworthy ally, Israel will at least try to accommodate the US.
That is one of the great misunderstandings of ProPalestinian protesters. They are still mostly children rebelling against authority because they are in the process of growing away from their dependence on their parents. At some later stage they will understand that their parents were not in control of much of anything but the children themselves. Parents just created the illusion because it made their children defer to them. Mostly for their safety. But they still believe in their safe world.
Part of the issue with how the anti Israel rhetoric has gone is that Israel has been made aware that the US can be a shaky ally. It has reduced the willingness of Israel to cooperate. The US tries to manage Israel with a carrot (arms sales) and a stick (again arms sales.) But in fact the US is being equally managed by Israel’s carrot (weapon defense development) and stick (again weapon defense development.) But if it sees it sees the Us as a liability, Israel will go it alone because it is part of their world view that they are always alone in the end. Zionism is the real world expression of that philosophy.
The US gives Israel billions of dollars a year in funding, weaponry, and technology.
If the US were to make those funds contingent upon Israel seeking a viable two-state solution, Israel would immediately do that.
The US also gives hundreds of millions of dollars per year to the West Bank and Gaza.
It makes you wonder why the US isn’t making the funds given to both sides contingent on a viable two-state solution.
Because there is a difference between providing food and medicine, and providing weapons to a country that continues to seize land.
Shoot the old motorbikes. Shoot down the drones and para planes. Not issue a permit for a music festival right up next to the fence.
Yes, Hamas can be thanked for that, and any who support them. Their tactic of using human shields can no longer be facilitated. It’s time for Palestinians to stand against Hamas or join them.
By AI targeting last addresses of targets. What could go wrong.
put down the reffer
Right…
Israelies are just lousy shots…
You’ve obviously have never met an IDF soldier. They’re some of the best warriors in the world. I speak from personal experience.
“Best warriors”…
Isn’t that an oxymoron…???
It parses to, “worst peacemakers”.
We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
They’re also every kid in Israel between 18, and 22. Every Israeli I know was in the IDF. Some are vegans who faint at the sight of blood. That’s one of the tragedies. Plenty of these young Israelis are taking injuries for Netanyahu’s tough talk.
Not exactly all, the hasidim are exempt from military service. But every member of the IDF is taken to see Masada, and the IDF oath that all of them take states that “Masada will never fall again”.
Far from “never again”, Israel stands to be facing fresh enemies for generations. That is the cost of overkill, overreaction. Remember how your grandma said “two wrongs don’t make a right.”?
There are no “fresh” enemies.” The Palestinians hated them for centuries, since Arab mass immigration into the area in the middle ages. Various Islamic countries hated them for zionism if not for some reason before that. Europeans and Russians periodically expelled Jews en masse. The KKK campaigned against black people and Jews in the US. And then came Hitler.
It’s not as if any of this is new.
I doubt you were BORN hating Palestinians! Germans today aren’t born hating Jews, nor were they 100 years ago. How tuned into politics is the typical five year old Palestinian? How might your outlook change if you lost family members as revenge for a stranger’s crime? Do you really think Palestinian women approve of rape? Rapes occur everyday, all over America, and occur occasionally by service members overseas, supreme court justices, and former presidents, but it would be quite a stretch to claim Americans support rape. We wouldn’t call for collective punishment of a whole community here for a local crime.
I personally don’t believe other humans born around the world come out wired that much different from me. Hatred is taught and learned.
Stupid people are easily persuaded to twist themselves into pretzels to fit the most bizarre ideas into their existing beliefs. If you are so limited in understanding that you think militarization of rape as a tacit of war is the same as the normal everyday abuse of women, then your beliefs are clear for any average intelligence to see. Frankly reading your ideas, it would be very reasonable to believe Americans do support rape. And only object to it if it can be used as leverage in their goals for other causes.
“For every 100 rapes and sexual assaults of teenage girls and women reported to police, only 18 lead to an arrest, according to a study conducted by three professors in the School of Criminology and Justice Studies under a $1.19 million grant from the National Institute of Justice… Ultimately, the study found that less than 1 percent of rape and sexual assault complaints were resolved through a jury trial – which means police and prosecutors have very little evidence on which to base their assumptions about how juries will react to different types of cases, the researchers say.”
https://www.uml.edu/News/stories/2019/Sexual_Assault_Research.aspx
Pushing that sideways insulting that you are so good at. Rein it back in a lot.
So which part is the “sideways insulting” that you find objectionable? That thinking “militarization of rape as a tacit of war is the same as the normal everyday abuse of women” is actually reasonable? Or that it’s well thought out to call this war “collective punishment of a whole community” because a commenter chooses to call such a military tactic “a local crime?” Or should I just not mention issue?
Frankly how you could not be offended by those assertions so as to find calling it a stupidity the least insulting term for it is pretty odd. But as you say, your site, your rules. So I will try to go along with the idea that Hamas raping women during their invasion is exactly like a randy teenager sexually assaulting a 15 year at an alcohol ridden prom.
“Stupid people are easily persuaded to twist themselves into pretzels” and may I say that smart people who don’t have intellectual honesty easily persuade themselves to twist themselves into pretzels to avoid responsibility for their actions.
If the sideways insult rules are applied with the same bizarre understanding, then have you just insulted me by saying I don’t have intellectual honesty? Seems pretty straightforward that to treat Hamas’s attacks as same as the not government sanctioned ( i would hope) rapes that end up in criminal court is singularly dishonest. Intellectually speaking…
I’ve insulted you as much you insulted others. If you feel that kind of statement is valid, then it shouldn’t bother you. In my opinion, its provoking. You are the master of it and usually don’t push the line so hard. This time you just about went over the line. I’m courteously informing you that if you keep pushing the insult line that you could find yourself in hot coffee.
Just former … no.
You’re forgetting Tara Reade.
#BelieveAllWomen
Amiright? Prolly
Absolutely, its the cost of committing genocide and slaughter of women and children.
The US arms manufacturers are making sure they have an endless demand for weapons. The military industrial complex wins in any conflict. Its about weapons sales, colonialism ane money $$$ big money in aid and big money in reconstruction aid…
They are already fighting over who gets to rebuild, we already know its us taxpayers who will fund the rebuild, while our own cities turn into fentanyl zombieland with over dosed people passed out on every block.
Thanks “progressive democrats” and Sleepy Puppet Biden
Finally someone with a relevant comment.
Return of hostages and elimination of Hamas is not an overreaction.
So interesting that after israel has been doing, different forms of very despicable, systematic acts against Palestinians for decades, that you and others are now becoming incensed over those type actions.
Make no mistake, the Hamas actions on 10/7 were inexcusable. And if israel had done something similar for revenge, the world would likely have, yet again, just shrugged. But israel didn’t! They choose the opportunity to disseminate Gaza, murdering mostly women and (14,000+!) children, for their next, expansionist, territorial take over.
I know first hand that the student protestors are not acting on antisemitic agenda or sentiments. Many of them are Jewish! So shut up with your blind bullshit please!
I think you meant decimate rather than disseminate…
The former meaning to kill a large fraction… the latter, to spread widely, as in information.
Decimate comes from the Latin word for ten. To decimate an army means to kill one in every ten soldiers. Israel has killed less than one tenth of one percent of Gazans.
40,000 out of 2 million is 2%. You may want to reassess other views you hold.
You’re right, missed the decimal point. Still way less than 10%
Wrong…
33% to 43%
There are about 2 million Gazans. The only casualty count is available from Hamas, but let’s take their word for it at about 40 thousand. Do the math and pay attention to the decimal points.
Big deal.
How many soldiers did Hamas start with…
How many have been killed…???
Those are the metrics…
This is your statement:
“Decimate comes from the Latin word for ten. To decimate an army means to kill one in every ten soldiers. Israel has killed less than one tenth of one percent of Gazans.”
………………….
“Israel has killed less than one tenth of one percent of Gazans.”…
…is a non sequitur.
All Gazans are not Hamas soldiers.
All Palestinian deaths were not Hamas soldiers.
Word problems are hard.
Figure out how many soldiers Hamas had to begin with…
30,000-40,000.
Use Israel’s estimation of how many Hamas soldiers they have killed…
13,000.
Do the math…
Divide the number of Hamas soldiers killed, by the number of Hamas soldiers they began with…
Move the decimal point two places to the right.
Round to nearest whole numbers.
33% to 43%
That’s the percentage of soldiers killed.
How many Gazans there are or were is totally irrelevant.
But you do you…
Wikipedia says Hamas soldiers amounted to 25,000 to 40,000…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war
From a different source…
IDF claims to have killed 13,000 Hamas operatives and 1,000 terrorists
14,000….
(35% to 56%)
“Decimation” by your definition, 3.5 to 5.6 times …
Modern usage recognizes decimate and devastate as synonyms – no one can plausibly argue that Gaza and her people have not been devastated.
Devastation is different from decimation. Precise language matters.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/devastation
A revenge of 10x the victims?
No, just different casualty rates. Think about the fire bombing of Dresden in WW2.
US revenge killed 1000 to 1 after 9/11 so who are we to lecture others?
Well, how’d that work? Are you including Iraq? Or are we just sweeping that under the rug? You including coalition authority actors? How many Afghans were killed fighting the Taliban for us? Afghans are super happy about the outcome… Hey, why did we try to invade Afghanistan, when it was Saudis in the planes? I think invading Greenland might have gone better. Trumps gonna get us Greenland this time if he can actually pull of a coup.
According to the the Washington Post at the beginning of April, “at least 1.4 percent of the population of Gaza has been killed in the war as of April 5. Seven people is 1.4 percent of a group of 472, so we estimate that seven people in a typical American’s social network would have died if they lived in Gaza…Hunger estimates are based on reports from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification. As of March 15, no one in Gaza is food-secure; 96,000 people are in Phase 2 of food insecurity (“stressed”); 578,000 people are in Phase 3 (“crisis”); 876,000 people are in Phase 4 (“emergency”); and 677,000 people are in Phase 5 (“catastrophe”/“famine”)…The number of Gazans whose homes are uninhabitable comes from a February 2024 World Bank report, which estimates that 1.2 million people in Gaza are facing homelessness due to damaged and destroyed residential buildings.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2024/gaza-numbers-killed-displaced-scale/
1.2 million is half the population. This is crazy. Imagine the outrage if half the homes in Israel were destroyed
Jerusalem, et al, has been destroyed multiple times over the course of human occupation of the region. One army after another has rolled through and turned everything to dust. There are entire cities built over the rubble of old ones. And old cities on top of those.
Thanks for the correction. I missed the decimal point (here we go with decem again). I agree that Gaza has been turned into a parking lot and most of the buildings have been destroyed, but the civilian casualty rate is actually smaller than would be expected.
In January, Oxfam said, “Israel’s military is killing Palestinians at an average rate of 250 people a day which exceeds the daily death toll of any other major conflict of recent years… .”
Depends on what they call recent. We killed 22,000 Japanese in 36 days on Iwo Jima, over 600 per day, while losing about 6,000 Marines, soldiers and sailors.
Israel has killed more humans than Hamas even has, estimaged of Hamas pre-genocide were 25,000=50,000 people.
Over 150,000 palestinians injured and killed since this genocide b u Israel started.
What hat did you pull that rabbit out of?
Israel completely left Gaza in September 2005. They entirely left the settlements and even emptied the Jewish cemeteries and took their dead with them when they left.
Hamas has had total control of Gaza since they threw out the Palestinian Authority in 2007. They got billions from Arab states to rebuild but instead of rebuilding their economy they spent years accumulating weapons and building an underground system of tunnels with the intent of launching the attack on October 7.
Hamas has promised to eradicate all Jews from the Levant. The Jews just want to eliminate Hamas, not the Arabs who call themselves Palestinian.
There’s plenty of blame to go around. Pray for peace.
Thank you for bringing reality and facts to the anti-Israeli cabal.
If that was so well known, then why did Israeli forces take so many hours to react after drones started bombing Israeli automated machine gun towers along the fence? The fence that reminds a generation of Gazans that they are subhuman…the automated remote controlled machine guns that shoot and kill you if you approach the humans. It’s seeming more and more likely Israel allowed the attack to unfold so as to justify this flattening of Gaza. Jared “Peace in the Middle East” Kushner was already publicly promoting the real estate opportunities!
How about this one, Kym? What am I allowed to say about this one? That conspiracy theories that say the Israeli government allowed Hamas (bet you the next thing is that they hired Hamas to do it) to kill Israelis as an excuse to conduct the extermination of Palestinians is reasonable?
Hamas had a military strength of 30,000-40,000 soldiers…
13,000 have been reportedly killed by Israeli counts…
Do the math, PC Windham…
One in every ten Hamas soldiers would “only” be 3,000 – 4,000 killed…
13,000 is between 3.33 out of 10, and 4.25 out of 10…
(33% to 43%)
Decimation, then, by between 3 1/3 and 4 1/4 times…
Happy…???
You originally said Gaza, population over 2 million. Gaza then is not decimated.
Hamas, yes, has been decimated and the Israelis intend to entirely eradicate it to prevent “October 7 over and over again” as Hamas has promised.
I said nothing of the sort.
Yes. Thanks Bill. It was an autocorrect deal. Curses! lol
https://www.facebook.com/reel/300266129825727
It’s so tidy of you to make up scenarios about what Israel should have done. Are you really thinking that Israel should have gone into Gaza, murdered a thousand or so randomly selected people, raped some women and kidnapped some others from a year old to eighty to hold as pawns and you would be okay with it? Do you really think that even just Hamas , who are indistinguishable from everyone else in the area, could simply be rounded up from their tunnels and held for trial and no one else would have died? Talk about blind bullshit.
No and No. What I was saying is that there was NO parity in israel’s response. If there had been, people would likely have not said much.
I do not believe humanity should live by ‘an eye for an eye’ philosophy.
israel, like the US after 911, to some degree, squandered the sympathy that arose after 10-07. They could leveraged it to other objectives. But it seems they have no other objectives than conquest and destruction of all Palestinian lands. That, and the US enabling such actions, is now more clear than ever.
Parity is a very slippery slope to decide on justice. N fact it doesn’t exist snywhere except the minds of pro Palestinian prootestors. According to that flimsy philosophy, if a person breaks into your house and threatens to kill you, you are not entitled to kill him because he has not killed you first. And if five come into your house and kill one family member, justice would only be served if you restrict yourself to killing one of them. This parity idea is just a fiction created because the decades of ugly Hamas attacks and corresponding hateful rhetoric must be ignored in order to be so absolutely against Israel.
Self defense is not a matter of parity like a shopping trip. You don’t pay your money and can expect to come away with equivalent value.It is a matter of having enough safety to not be needing to spend all effort in defences, just not to live in constant fear of attack. You don’t get to dismiss the 10/7 with a brief “well that was bad,” then go on as if it never happened because you like tucking it into your current beliefs about innocent victims.
Frankly what is going on is two entities having decided there is no possible resolution except to fight to the death. They hate thoroughly and refuse any compromise. There is no innocence here on either side. If you were truly interestest in stopping deaths, you acknowledge it and address it from there. There is no fairy tale ending where the totally obvious villian dies and everyone lives happily ever after, however pleasant the idea. You just keep the deaths going on.
Applause #truth. #calpolyhumboldt
What about the protesters telling jews to go back to gas chambers or preventing them from stepping foot on campus for being Jewish. The videos are all over the place but because you say so there not antisemitic. If your got the death numbers from hamas then you are not to bright as it is well known that hamas heavily inflates the numbers to try to gain sympathy for those willing to excuse killing of innocent children by [edit].
I have no doubt that some protesters somewhere said evil things. But if the words or actions of a few are used to discredit the whole movement, then no movement will be creditable.
Dehumanizing an entire nationality per your last statement goes too far.
Could probably say October 7th was an inside job. I mean, how, with Israel’s might, could something this dastardly just happen? Think about it. Do the research.
October 7th gave Israel a chance to instrument their plan for erasing the Palestinian people from the face of the earth.
Sadly, it seems the Israelis (and others) who believe this “war” is just have forgotten what happened to their people when Nazi Germany ruled Europe. Now Israel are the Nazis.
The irony is this “war” has ensured Israel will have enemies for generations to come.
Remember that the peace was broken by Hamas. They called down the wind and are reaping the whirlwind.
Horse shit.
Ran out of talking points so falling back to ad hominem attacks?
Here, check out this account. It is fairly sympathetic to Israel, came out in November, so we had no idea how far Israel would go on the future. You can’t help but gain some insight into the perspective of someone born on the wrong side of the fence. You also get the idea of the almost funny imbalance of military power between Israel and Hamas, or whoever. If the attack was not allowed to continue, then the IDF really dropped the ball leaving farmers to defend the Country. And who permitted the music fest RIGHT THERE!? Hostages and casualties would have been halved if they had moved that elsewhere. Would it be smart for Russia to host a music festival right on the border of Chechnya?

Kym? Went right down that conspiracy rabbit hole… but really, I’m not saying anything.
Thanks but I don’t have time to watch all 28 minutes. The first 5 are enough to get the idea. It was a massive intelligence failure, and that’s why the chief of IDF Intel just resigned.
Hey, Kym! What about this one?
Say what you want and let Kim do the curating.
Ask Hot Coffee how that works.

I am not suggesting this instance is a false flag of some sort, just that you should always be suspicious of blatant morons who are very convenient for any faction in a dispute.
Same goes for lurid accusations, and the entire narrative of those who spread such falsehoods must be assumed to be pure propaganda. Looking at you team “beheaded babies” and “mass rape”.
Looking as you team “innocent Palestinians.” Just because it doesn’t suit uou doesn’t mean you get to dismiss it. Lurid descriptions are not unreasonable when talking about atrocities. Here is an early article by Snopes with several addressing the various viral internet allegations. You can do some easy checking yourself. https://www.snopes.com/tag/israel-hamas_war/
As for rapes, “United Nations report from the U.N. envoy for sexual violence said investigators had “clear and convincing information” that the hostages had been the victims of rape, sexualized torture, and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, and the investigators have “reasonable grounds” to believe this could be continuing.”

No lie or misrepresentation is too extreme or too absurd for the zionists and their partners
What are you talking about?
What about free speech? I thought that was the point on college campuses. Did the driver of the truck hurt anyone? Can’t all sides of this complex topic have a right to voice their opinions? This is a topic that has many layers and many sides. Open dialog among all is how we learn and grow as a community and country. At least this guy voiced his opinion on his truck and didn’t vandalize the campus. I’m personally refraining from taking sides on this topic since I feel like I need more information personally to make an educated decision. I will leave this debate to more qualified people.
The internet has become the greatest weapon against Free Speech ever.
I’m sure that’s why they recently took it back from the corporations.
The campus is closed and he wasn’t supposed to be there. The arrest has nothing to do with the First Amendment
I bet if there was a different message not including that image there would not have been an arrest.
Seems to me when full context is taken, he was saying hate is wrong no matter what the cause, however the images he put up were not the best choice and could be taken as something else.
Many people today no matter what will read into it and be offended no matter what. Yea 1st amendment is dead in many ways and the concept is twisted ie no hate speech and riots and destroying other people’s stuff is okay depending on the cause.
The campus was closed and only community member protesters were allowed to be there until they weren’t allowed.
I forgot to add community members from parts unknown and not students were allowed until they weren’t. Their cars were allowed if they put enough change in the meters or if they had paid for an official permit,
Seriously, these comments are spot on…and I’m a fairly liberal Democrat. Not sure I would directly associate KKK with Hamas, but it is sure worth a conversation. But how is this not protected free speech?
Chaos-agent, whipping things along, likely end-goal: increased civil-unrest in the US and headed for the election. ‘Vladimirovich’, meaning ‘son of Vladimir’. Son’s of Vladimir. Club-like.
You may be on to something.
you would like to tie him to Trump wouldn’t you?
Done already, has him by the …
The KKK was founded by democrats. The left’s infatuation with hoods and masks has always been prevalent.
!00% correct Antifa is the continuance
America was founded by slave owners in wigs and tights. There are various events, and political/societal developments that have occured since then. Learning about that stuff helps you understand what’s going on around you today.
Of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention, 49% were slave owners. A slim minority, but a minority nonetheless. There, you learned something about “that stuff”.
Does your figure change my point? Do 51%of congress wear wigs and tights? Even if Every woman in Congress, and a few of the men did now, it still points out that things change. Of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention 0%were women.
Who cares? That was then. Thia is now
Exactly. Look at the context. I’m responding to the silly assertion Underwaxxed and over Twacked brought up, that the Democratic party is automatically aligned with the party of 100 years ago.
I don’t care what they wore. They came with the two greatest documents in world history – the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
Agreed.
“Polishchuk [a spokesperson for Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department was unable to identify his country of origin at this time] was released after posting bail.”
“Unable to identify” because they don’t know, or HCSO is unable to say? In observing the ways they seldom talked about the Russian and/or the ‘Bulgarian’ syndicate growers, this echos as similar. And if that’s true, what does that mean?
Ideally, the FBI is looking into the guy. Look through his phone when he was in the can, follow the truck “home”, etc.
what has he done wrong? Posting a sign about anti hate? Are you a hater? H8 has no place in our country.
Ask Sheriff.
May I respectfully object to the Palestinian implications…??
I firmly reject the totally inappropriate and offensive assumption and slanderous implication that the unsubstantiated identity of the image on the right that is being associated with HATE and the KKK by the imagery is somehow, without evidence, being identified as a Palestinian or a Palestinian supporter, by the headdress alone…
If that image has no identifying markings as to country or military of origin, other than simply a headdress, it is ludicrous, offensive, journalistically inappropriate, and inflammatory to label it as a Palestinian or Palestinian supporter…
…”someone wearing a keffiyeh on the right, implying that they view either Palestinians or Palestine supporters”…
Who has made this assumption…???
RHBB…???
Because a biased, racist assumption is all that it is…
Just because this imagery was displayed at the site of a current or previous site of a pro Palestinian protest , that may have included counter protesters, doesn’t mean this imagery can be conclusively identified as a Palestinian…
Please reconsider this slander.
Think about it, it doesn’t even make sense…
The driver is a Russian National…
Why would he be protesting either side of a war that Russia is uninvolved in…
If anything, wouldn’t Russia be siding with Palestinians…???
Russia damn sure wouldn’t be siding with Israel, wake up.
Russia is at war with Ukraine.
Ukrainians are associated with Nazis…
Nazis are associated with the KKK…
Is the soldier a being portrayed as a Ukrainian…???
At least that adds up…
Let’s assume for illustrative purposes that this is part of a pro Israeli counter protest to the pro Palestinian rally…
On second thought, let’s not, as it is far too ridiculous a notion…
Please correct this biased, inflammatory, inappropriate media assumption, and return in to neutrality where it belongs, at the very least, until a firm identity can be established for the imagery…
Assuming, and even concluding, that the white hooded trio’s identity is the KKK is accurate and acceptable in my mind, but assuming, let alone concluding, that the identity of the image of the soldier being associated with the KKK, is a Palestinian or a Palestinian supporter, is totally unsubstantiated hogwash, and not even what I would call an educated guess, at all…!!!
Is he wearing a Palestinian flag on his uniform…???
Is he wearing a Ukrainian flag on his uniform…???
If not, then kindly retract the bullshit assumptions and implications, please…
With all due respect…
It seems to be only RHBB that is sensationally associating that KKK HATE imagery to the “Palestinians” and/or “Palestinian supporters”.
………….
“The truck, which we described as briefly showing controversial images apparently equating the Ku Klux Klan with Palestinians on May 1.”
…………….
Are you trying to make a bad situation worse for the Palestinians…???
Because that’s the way it appears to me, and I have a much higher opinion of RHBB and it’s associated journalistic standards than that.
Please forgive me for that.
PS.
As a bit of supporting evidence, a keffiyeh and or a shemagh are of patterned material…
That headdress in the imagery, although difficult to say for sure, looks pure white to me…
Continued…
Palestinians are certainly not the only ones that wear such headdresses…
This guy is wearing a US ARMY uniform…
But I am unclear on the insignia on his shoulder…
Army 111 Combat Engineer Brigade
Thanks…
Go Army…
The keffiyeh is apparently not only worn by Palestinians…
That was my point…
It would be an obvious mistake to assume a Palestinian association with this keffiyeh wearer…
Therefore…
I’d also say that conclusively associating the image on the billboard of the keffiyeh wearing individual with a “Palestinian man” is a stretch of the imagination.
Let’s just say it’s politically incorrect to use the wrong pronouns or adjectives or nouns to identify a person of unknown Country of origin as a Palestinian, AND at the same time, to also simultaneously assume without evidence, that the keffiyeh wearing image on the billboard truck, is of MAN at all…
I wonder how the author determined that beyond a shadow of a doubt…
How could they have even possibly determined it’s gender, let alone what gender it has chosen to identify as…
Seems to me that the description of the image on the right should have been most accurately described as a keffiyeh wearer, and then just simply left it at that…
I hesitate to repeat this same old tired cliche, but the author has assumed a bit too much, and when you “assume”, you make an “ass” out of you and “me”…
It’s best, then, to make no assumptions, especially from a journalistic standpoint…
You’re welcome. That’s his unit, probably a sapper. If he has a patch on his right shoulder he’s been deployed to a war zone.
And if I may be allowed, this is a Ukrainian journalist…
I wonder if this, Ukrainian journalist, would simply assume that all keffiyeh wearers are, in fact, Palestinians…???
I kind of doubt it…
🤦♂️
la borriquita brotherhood maybe ?
You ever been to Israel, or delved into Israeli domestic politics? Israel is full of Russians and Russian money!
Only way russian PMCs can move blood diamonds out of africa is through isreali brokerage houses.
I’ve been to Israel and Palestine twice, most recently a year ago
Never saw a Russian. Maybe that’s because Syria hosts Russians in their civil war.
The largest number of Russian Jews now live in Israel. Israel is home to a core Russian-Jewish population of 900,000, and an enlarged population of 1,544,000 (including halakhically non-Jewish members of Jewish households, but excluding those who reside in Israel illegally).

Nazi and White Supremacist are words freely applied to just about anything done by conservatives in this country, I guess it is not acceptable when it goes the other way.
apparently not.
I’d have to agree with this… it is a curious statement?
May I respectfully object to the Palestinian implications…??
I firmly reject the totally inappropriate and offensive assumption and slanderous implication that the unsubstantiated identity of the image on the right that is being associated with HATE and the KKK by the imagery is somehow, without evidence, being identified as a Palestinian or a Palestinian supporter, by the headdress alone…

…”someone wearing a keffiyeh on the right, implying that they view either Palestinians or Palestine supporters”…
Who has made this assumption?
Keffiyeh are a symbol of Palestinian solidarity. “The keffiyeh has long been a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, exemplified by the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat, who was rarely photographed without one. He folded it in a way that depicted the shape of historic Palestine.
It first took on a political significance with the 1936-1939 revolt against British rule, when rural guerrillas covered their faces with the cloth, design historian Anu Lingala told Reuters. It showed “unified resistance,” she said.” hhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/palestinian-keffiyeh-scarves-controversial-symbol-solidarity-2023-12-14/
Thanks, Kim. I didn’t know that about Arafat.
🤔🧐,
Yeah, I’m pretty damn sure that this Russian Nationalist agitator HATE propaganda isn’t displaying that keffiyeh in “solidarity” with the Palestinians…
Just like I don’t think that the pointed white robes being shown alongside it are being displayed in solidarity with the KKK…
And you know, now that you mention it, that image on the side of that truck IS the SPITTING IMAGE of Yasser Arafat…
Its him…!!! Its him…!!!
It’s like “identical”…
SAME EXACT keffiyeh and everything…
It’s the carbon copy “agal” that REALLY seals the deal…
Like two peas in a pod…
Oh, wait…
Where’s the agal on the keffiyeh on the guys keffiyeh image on the truck..
There ain’t no “agal”…
(Those two very different keffiyeh really don’t look a thing alike…)
Not even close…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasser_Arafat
But, thanks for the important lesson…
It has led me to an enlightening epiphany…
It REALLY IS prudent to repeatedly headline, amplify, broadcast, and disseminate, a Russian Nationalist Agitator’s HATE Speech Propaganda…
I realize that I really should be upholding and defending the free exercise of his First Amendment right to free speech, even if it is inflammatory HATE speech, and/or a divisive HATE message, because, you know, epiphany, epiphany, he is CLEARLY a US Citizen, right…???
OH WAIT…!!!
NO HE ISN’T…!!!
Yet, GRACIOUSLY, he is getting PRIORITY INTERNET NEWS COVERAGE, FREE OF CHARGE…!!!
I really would have felt his civil rights, to spread such a civil message, had been egregiously violated, had he simply been properly ignored, like the foreign nationalist agitator that he is…
Oh, wait…!!!
I wouldn’t have felt left out of the loop, one bit, to have never set eyes on this undeserving foreign shit stirrer and his inflammatory hate message for the second time, nor even the first…
His intention was to wreak havoc and incite unrest and conflict among Americans, and unfortunately, he has clearly succeeded while being roundly supported, instead of being properly, swiftly, and soundly, deported…
It seems as though some garbage is best left unrepeated, of not unreported…
I thought that one of the rules here was that Hate speech did not have to be hosted…
Was this the kind of fitting , properly directed, hate message, that had sufficient merit enough to give full and highlighted focus and attention to…???
Whatever floats your boat…
It seems like the Palestinians are the only ones that will pay the ultimate price for it, or pay instead, in blood, or by the cost an arm and a leg, or a family “member”…
Not exactly a good deed.
But, if there will be any, real, filthy lucre, to be made, or to be paid, for this Russian infiltrator’s, “advertising”, it will surely be paid in US dollars, or in Israeli shekels, because it damn sure isn’t the kind of message that any Palestinian would be paying for…
I guess that maybe if this Russian guy’s, anything but neutral, spiteful, incindiary message, was one that I actually agreed with, and fully approved of and sided with, I might just let it slide, too.
But, I don’t hate the Palestinians, or anyone else for that matter…
🤷♂️
So 3 memes is acceptable? I caught hell for supposedly breaking that rule.
He’s making points with pictures not posting memes
That’s pretty much the definition of a meme. Using pictures to make a point.
No. A meme is “an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meme
The Real Guest is illustrating his points with pictures that he believes prove what he said is true. The pictures themselves are not particularly striking, they just illustrate what he is saying. His intention is to elucidate not to make one laugh.
Providing factual backup for one’s assertions is valued here.
So this is where I am confused. I posted a screen shot of the banner that was used in the article I posted.
You counted that as a meme.
Frankly I have a sucky memory so asking me to weigh in a past action is probably futile unless you can point me to it with a link. BUT, I’m guessing you were not proving a point with the picture. Remember that images use up a lot more bandwidth and slow down an article loading–which frustrates readers. (Not to mention the bigger my website is the more I have to pay to the host.) I value proof so I’m glad to deal with the downsides in order to get it. But frivolous posting of images is a pain. I tolerate one meme per post but they annoy me (unless they make me laugh)
You just don’t want them entering the US.
Not sure what you mean…
Your post about Palestinian refugees entering the US.
You keep sympathizing with them but don’t want them coming to the US….
Allegedly.
Link please.
Domestic terrorism?
ANTIFA van
Pretty sophisticated unit.
I know you’ve been bombarded by the term “antifa” in the media. Did you know it is kinda of a limp wristed tired neo post-cell phone way of saying “anti-fascist”? Do you think the messaging on the van represents an anti fascist stance consistent with what you expect “ANTIFA” to hold? Just curious.
While I consider myself against fascism, I always associated a self described “ANTIFA” activist as a black clad white kid from Portland, or Santa Cruz, who lives in a communal art space. My imaginary ANTIFA may rally a wornout urban delivery van to go subvert the paradigm, but find it hasn’t been maintained very well, and lacking skills, find themselves broke down somewhere around Salem.
Calling Antifa anti-fascist is like calling the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea a democracy.
Perfect
What’s the origin of Antifa then? Did Tucker Carlson just make it up?
If you’re really interested, here’s a link to a short documentary.

Accuracy in Media should look into this event. They once described Obama as “a member of an international socialist movement”. A in C is a right-wing org, founded by non-other than John Birch Society member Reed Irvine. In recent past, A in C sent a truck to Yale, Harvard, Columbia, among other places. Thank goodness no more USSR, just ultra right-wing Nationalist Russia, a Vladimirovich (meaning: son-of-Vladimir) driving a truck (an A in C truck?) around former Russian territory (northcoast).
*A in M. Management regrets the error
Thanks Grace! an A in C truck? I thought it was a Mysterious Sign Truck.
I’m the president of Accuracy in Media and I’m not a right winger.
As a reminder, the ACLU was founded by communists and the NAACP was founded by folks who were comfortable using the phrase “colored people.” Organizations change, Grace.
Yeah ok.
I’d be curious if this is more Russians sent to stir the pot before an election.
Where are the other Russians? You said more…?
Truly excellent deduction…
But this is the kind of garbage that would be paid for by the Biden Administration reelection campaign , not any of Biden’s opposition.
Fomenting American hatred towards the Palestinians will only work in Biden’s favor.
Uniting Americans with a concern for the unfortunate plight of the Biden funded and enabled Palestinian suffering starvation dismemberment and death, won’t win Biden any votes…
On the contrary, Uniting Americans on behalf of Palestinians will sink him…
That’s why he is breaking up pro Palestinian protests…
It’s a despot maneuver…
Biden is a desperate despot.
Desperate despot times call for desperate despot measures…
Enter the billboard truck with the Palestinian hate message…
Inchoate. Try again when sober
Truly excellent deduction.
The anonymous witness has bought the Marxist;-Leninist oppressed – oppressor dialectic by using the “settler-colonial” analogy. In that world view anything the oppressed does to the oppressor is acceptable, including the events of October 7.
The only crime is poking a finger in the Democratic Parties eyes, and they know it! Hence, the freak out. If this was a van showing Trump and white hoods they would be jumping for joy and taking pictures with the driver. Unfortunately for the goons siding with Hamas, they have no clue the Muftii of Palestine during WW2 was good friends and allies of the Third Reich and Hitler. In fact, there is pictures of the two hanging out and yucking it up. Yep, 100% fact. No rewriting history here. From founding the kkk to siding with the Grand Muftis great grand children. Grow up Democrats, you showed your hand, you took off your robes, you got burned, and you react by sucking even more. Yes! Suck harder!
Get a grip. Here’s picture of a similar digital-billboard van, operated by rightwing so-called ‘Accuracy in Media’, at Yale University. Intent but to stir the pot.
The protest are not antisemitic, but that false label has been cold karma for many of these people who have been loosely applying “racism/hate/bigotry” to anyone with opposing views
Point is, it appears folks aligned with the far-right are taking advantage of conditions to whip things along. Are there some mal-actors on both or more “sides”. No doubt. But big wealth-backed interests aligned with the new far-right, add not seeing the Kremlin as particularly unfriendly these days, are mucking about. Look for more of this in the months leading to election.
Grace!!!! The Mysterious Sign Truck was spotted heading south. Someone read the sign… it said: We are headed to Fort Ross to retake our former Capitol of Kalifornia. Don’t try anything – we have Whitaker Walt as hostage!
The whitey-righties, Trump and Putin included, will give you a medal for this, gawd bless.
I hearded Trump himself was driving the Mysterious Sign Truck. Coulda been a cardboard cutout? In any case, Trump should be charged cause … well … he’s the cause for all of this!
I know right, how the far-right could be so stupid to have their Russian-nationalist driver detained. It just gets better and better, their whipping the fervor of political unrest more and more everyday. Overall message thus far? Power for Don or Civil Unrest, Don in Power and Civil Unrest. It’s a win-win of a lose-lose for the USA and liberal democracy (look up the latter, if you’re confused as to what that is). This is why the team that created this domestic political-mess deserves an Oscar for Best Original (Foreign) Screenplay. Going to be Wild.
‘Doxxing Truck’ Takes Columbia—Here’s What To Know About The Trucks That Post Names Of StudentsBrian Bushard; Forbes Staff
The conservative organization behind the controversial so-called doxxing trucks stationed a new truck at Columbia University this week, publicly listing the names and faces of students who signed a letter calling on the university to cut ties with Israel, following the truck’s debut doxxing pro-Palestinian Harvard University students—and the organization has plans to expand the program, including outside students’ homes.
The truck, which is the third from the group and has been posting students’ names with the caption “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites,” first appeared on Columbia’s campus in New York City on Wednesday afternoon, according to Adam Guillette, the president of Accuracy in Media, the organization that solely funds the project.

Not sure how you dox someone that signed their name to a letter that was available to the public? Maybe it was a super secret letter. Maybe they just helping out public to understand who the protesters are?
I’m Adam Guillette. Accuracy in Media isn’t a “conservative” organization and we’ve never doxed anyone. You don’t need to be a conservative in order to oppose antisemitism and racism.
As a reminder, these hateful radicals publicly signed the letter and publicly announced who the leaders of their organizations were. As an organization, we only highlight the public leaders of these organizations and never focus on casual members. We also delete anyone who apologizes and quits their racist organization.
You bring up an interesting point. Do you think Hitler’s interest in Palestine had anything to do with Great Britain’s Colonial presence in the Middle East and Africa? What role did Great Britain play in the Zionist “solution” to “give” surviving European Jews Israel after WWII? Are Palestinian Muslims, and Israeli Jews both descendents of pawns from a bygone era?
what the hell are they kvetching about LOL
“oh no weve been found out!”
I saw that van on LK wood blvd a day or two before main incident occurred. I thought it was some type of law enforcement vehicle. Who knows though, maybe it was the Russians. Historically they have been a major ally of the Zionist Apartheid regime.
Then again, maybe it was the Americans. Historically they have been a major ally of the Zionist Apartheid regime.
Everyone be on the lookout for the “Mysterious Sign Van”. If you spot it… be sure to… report it to… Be careful as it is mysterious. Always report!
Unpopular, but it is free speech.
Take the truck over to Iran and see how fast your hand gets cut off, or other appendages.
No, it’s not free speech…
Not at all…
The driver was reportedly a Russian Nationalist…
He, therefore, has no constitutionally protected rights to free speech in America…
Zero, zip, zilch, nada…
Maybe you should reconsider…
Maybe that’s why it shouldn’t be headlined, as if it was Constitutionally protected free speech….
Because it’s not!
Those who believe in free speech wouldn’t want anyone’s speech restricted more than another’s.
Speak for yourself, with all do respect, I disagree.
I firmly believe in First Amendment Rights in The USA for US citizens.
For Russian Nationalists, not so much…
Restrict away…
Americans are one thing, foreign nationalist agitators are quite another.
Not repeating it, is not restricting it, in any way, anyway, is it…???
And I guess “Those who believe in free speech”…, [that], …”wouldn’t want anyone’s speech restricted more than another’s”, feel quite a bit differently about their American Citizen commenters, whom must be discriminatorily subjugated to a significantly lower caste and category than those foreign national agitators arbitrarily and counterintuitively chosen to be actually deserving of such magnanimous, unrestricted consideration…
“10. [Added Jan 1, 2019] I don’t have to host hate speech on my website. I will warn you if I feel you are breaking this rule and will ban you if necessary. I encourage a wide diversity of opinions but, eventually, I may need to ask you to go elsewhere to express yourself.”
………………………..
It seems as though there is a double standard being enforced, pesky US citizen commenters vs foreign nationalist anti Palestinian, pro Israeli, incindiary Hate message, agitator “stars”…
Go figure…
By all means, don’t delete nor ban this Russian trouble maker’s anti Palestinian Hate speech.
That would be anti American, right…???
Oh wait…
It’s the Americans, only, that are being so restricted…
THAT would be anti American…
Now, on the other hand, if he was merely a lowly US Citizen RHBB American commenter…
THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES…!!!
It’s sooo confusing…
Peace.
After doing some more research, it becomes a bit unclear whether or not First Amendment freedoms are extended to foreign nationals and/or resident non-citizens….
It’s a bit nuanced…
They may be allowed First Amendment Rights, to some extent, but inciteful messages, as I consider the aforementioned message to have been, would always be prohibited…
And deportation has been mentioned as a consequence…
But, like I mentioned before, simply not repeating his inciteful message would in no way have been an infringement of his rights, even if it wasn’t determined to have been inciteful.
Not enough people discussing the fact that this driver is a Russian national. The free speech displayed is only an issue in how it’s being used to foster chaos. I’m waiting to see where following the money leads to.
It seems that we have reached a similar conclusion.
I guess I am questioning who is using it to foment division and unrest, and just exactly why…???
Media as a “weapon”…???
It sure would do a lot less potential harm without similarly harmful “reinforcements”…
Now, now Democrats, Leftists, Progressives, NGOs, and others, we are a Sanctuary state, remember? Welcome to the new century were you can buy a box truck and use LED. Good one their comrade, poke em in the eye! Eastern bloc white men are welcome here too! Too bad he didn’t follow the marching orders, ehhhhh fellow former travelers…..It’s a whole new world…
This vehicle was last seen leaving Buchenwald. 🛂
The Billboard truck was last seen next to a vintage green Corvette convertible, but that would also be describing classified information…
It’s classified because that was the Commander in Chief he was about to give a press briefing on antisemitic incidents that mushroom cloud on college campuses, some Jewish leaders and lawmakers from both parties are accusing President Joe Biden’s administration of taking a lax approach toward enforcement of civil rights laws, exposing Jewish students to continued harassment.
They point to a surge of complaints filed with the Education Department that have yet to be resolved, creating a backlog that effectively eases pressure on school administrators to take action needed to protect Jewish students amid protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
If ya can’t dazzle them with brilliance…
Hey, wait a minute, what was going on in Palestine again…???
Something about Biden funding and arming Israel in order to bomb the Palestinian men women and children to bits and starve to death any possible survivors…???
By all means let’s change that nasty subject, if you know what I mean…
Biden wants everyone to forget about that Palestinian holocaust and genocide in the making…
Focus on the trucks billboard, you’re getting very sleepy…
Hmm, his name is Vlad, we can’t figure out his country of origin, he’s provoking hate and controversy, he’s documenting his own activities, he’s extremely well-founded.
Gee, I wonder who he could possibly work for?
“funded”, not “founded”
The sh*t-stirring billboard-doxxing trucks, run by conservative NGO, misnomer name ‘Accuracy in Media’ (AiM), also runs an operation called Accuracy in Academia (AiA). What’s part oftgeir technique but to recruit students to point at academics.
Accuracy in Media, former editor but a Daniel Flynn, a senior editor at rightwing The American Spectator. Current editor of AiM: a Mr. Malcolm Kline. Why, here’s a recent pic of Mr. Kline starting a video spin session, not a shred of neo-right bias overshadowing him.
Adam Guillette is the president of Accuracy in Media. Guillette previously founded the Florida chapter of Americans for Prosperity (Koch brothers founded and funded). He was also a former vice president of right-of-center “investigative journalism” group Project Veritas. Smh.
Accuracy in Media hasn’t had any affiliation with Accuracy in Academia in quite some time. I’ve run the organization for five years and we’ve never had any affiliation with Dan Flynn or The American Spectator as long as I’ve been here. I also have zero idea who “Malcolm Kline” is. In addition, we’re not a conservative organization, nor are we an NGO. Lastly, I certainly do not own any pictures of Donald Trump.
Basically, pretty much everything you’ve said is demonstrably incorrect. Sorry Grace.
Not a tax-exempt NGO anymore with an EIN
(23-7135837) since 1971?
You yourself, no previous affiliation with very conservative Americans for Prosperity or Project Veritas?
Yes I’m the past but … Aim pushed Vince Foster was murdered, a conspiracy theory. As to Obama, AiM stated “It is apparent that he is a member of an international socialist movement.” AiM even suggested there wasn’t a pandemic.
Aim has given its Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award to, among others, climate-change denier Marc Morano, Tucker Carlson, and the founder of The Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft. Pretty conservative-like
And the stunts, here’s just one:
“After all of our efforts to get Claudine Gay to step down, we figured the least we could do was help her move off campus.”
Your org rented moving trucks, you yourself showing up with them at the house of now ex Harvard Prez Claudine Gay.
Do you know who sent the billboard truck to Cal Poly Humboldt?
Interesting letter re AiM:

Non profits need an EIN too in order to claim tax exemptions status..
The Democrat fruit of the looms are all bunched up over a box truck that shows Hamas equaling the kkk. No wonder the Democrats are freaking out. Their entire scheme of attempting to pin racism and nazism on Republicans is falling apart. Vlad the box truck driver sent them over the edge. Who would have guessed that a white guy named Vlad hates Nazis and the kkk as well! Good job comrade. Just keep the truck parked on a public street and the Fruit of the Loons will be stymied. If they call the police on you because they have to look in the mirror, just tell the police you are a citizen, you don’t need to show papers, and you have a right to peacefully protest in public venues. If they persist further, call the ACLU and civil rights division of the justice department. One thing these folks don’t like is getting the tables turned on them, they tend to scurry away like rats.
“Who would have guessed that a white guy named Vlad hates Nazis …”
Most everyone knows Vlad Putin’s ruse, of invading Ukraine to rid it of faux Nazi masses, is a giant manipulation for domestic political purposes. Most everyone knows his intel services and surrogates engage in phuckery in the US. Most everyone knows the far-right in America uses some of the same ploys, aim of stirring the pot, complete with warnings that if the Vulgarian doesn’t win unrest will be triggered … and if he wins, triggering unrest (retribution, anyone?). A most grand scheme, courtesy of Vlad-the-Master and his ultra-nationalist brotherhood … Stateside.

Polishchuk is a Ukrainian Belorussian and Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic) name.

Hamas is the elected government in Gaza, elected by the people of Gaza.
Israel has the right to defend itself from Hamas attacks.
If Hamas did not hide behind civilians, there would be vastly fewer civilian casualties in Gaza.
