Michael Kadar, a joint Israeli-US citizen Jew resident in Israel, has been convicted of making over 2,000 bomb threats to Jewish organizations around the world from August 2016 to March 2017—which were all blamed on “white racists,” attributed by the Jewish controlled media to Trump’s rise, and used to justify the banning of dozens of books on Amazon.

According to a report in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the Jew was convicted in the Tel Aviv District Court on Thursday on multiple counts of extortion for waging an intimidation campaign of bomb threats, including against Jewish Community Centers in the United States last year.   Continue reading “Jew Convicted of Worldwide Bomb Threat Campaign Blamed on “White Racists””

Sometimes, these processes can be very dramatic: most recently, the picturesque but destructive lava flows from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii and the deadly blast of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala. Other times, however, Earth’s changes occur over millennia and are nearly imperceptible to humans.   Continue reading “Strange geologic activity under New England surprises scientists”

Many years ago there was an Emperor so exceedingly fond of new clothes that he spent all his money on being well dressed. He cared nothing about reviewing his soldiers, going to the theatre, or going for a ride in his carriage, except to show off his new clothes. He had a coat for every hour of the day, and instead of saying, as one might, about any other ruler, “The King’s in council,” here they always said. “The Emperor’s in his dressing room.”

In the great city where he lived, life was always gay. Every day many strangers came to town, and among them one day came two swindlers. They let it be known they were weavers, and they said they could weave the most magnificent fabrics imaginable. Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid.   Continue reading “The United States’ Booming New Economy”
