Iron Snowflake

On November 11, pro-Palestine activists held a memoriaL for Aarun Bushnell, the US Airman who set himself on fire to protest US complicity in Israel’s carpet bombing of and genocide in Gaza.

Over the century in which wars have been fought in the air many airmen have died in flames. Only one from the US Air Force died fighting for Palestine though: Aaron Bushnell.

This was not the first time US servicemembers died because of something Israel did however. A number of US Navy sailors were killed at the start of the 1967 war when Israel bombed the electronic intelligence gathering ship USS Liberty. The 2024 vigil in Orlando remembered them too.

The 11th of November is Veteran’s Day, originally called Armistice Day as it marked the end of WWI. It is a day set aside in the US to remember those who served in the US military or especially were wounded or killed in America’s many wars.

Video came to me the day after, I was busy with hurricane repairs so was unable to attend this in person.

Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025, has now released a 33 page “Project Esther” document calling for the use of RICO, immigration, “counterterror” and hate crime laws plus the Foreign Agents Registration Act to destroy the pro-Palestine movement.

This might be to support Israel’s plan to depopulate Gaza, it might be an attempt to disable the hard left from fighting Project 2025 by forcing us onto defense, it might be both at once.

The only thing is, this attack has a return address: Heritage and all their top staff. Already Heritage is being counterattacked with protests at both their headquarters and the homes of Project 2025 authors. They have been doxxed and doxxed again. Heritage is not in a good position to open a second front in the war they already declared against us with Project 2025.

The more they push, the more people they will make this conflict existential for. They are going to regret that. Outfits like Heritage depend on donors and corporate partners. As we learned with Huntingdon Life Sciences, such organizations are very vulnerable to activists (even peaceful protesters if this remains possible) standing on their economic air hose by targetting donors and business partners. It doesn’t cost a bank or a stockbroker much to stop donating money to Heritage or to a university seeking to deport student protesters, just as it didn’t cost them much to dump Huntingdon Life Sciences.

It’s just not worth keeping investments much less donation recipients who come with side orders of everything from terrible press to nasty security problems. Believe me, a few of the “high net worth individuals” may stick with Heritage or one of those universites through thick and thin, but enough of them (being just greedy capitalists and nothing more) will bail to bring down the whole mess.

I am still here. Huntingdon Life Sciences is not.

On the 6th of November, protesters gathered outside Orlando’s Federal building one day after the election that is returning Fuhrer Trump to the White House. Protesters denounced the dangerous Fascism of Trump and worried about the uncertain times ahead. They also called out Harris for supporting continuation of Biden’s genocide in Gaza-and charged that this played a major role in Trump’s victory and thus in the dangers ahead.

In the just-concluded election, both Harris and Trump supported continuing US support for genocide in Gaza.

Some of the “StormTrumpers” on patriots(dot)win are openly boasting about preventing use of selected ballot drop boxes in Democrat areas of Georgia.

Raw boasts about keeping all but 16 ballots out of a drop box suggests use of extreme levels of harassment. This is confirmed by words in the comments below the image ” I was texting people to go to that shit location.” Also buried deep in the comments are calls for watching for ballot transport vans. This should be considered a threat of attack against whatever vehicles transport ballots from drop boxes.

Nothing infuriates MAGA meatheads like chants of “Lock him up! This one began in lampooning Trump’s own “Lock her up!” threats against his 2016 campaign opponent. Once Russiagate broke and serious impeachment calls began, “Lock Her Up!” was doubled back against Trump as “Lock Him Up!”

Although Trump has been convicted of a long list of felonies in many jurisdictions, if he gets into the White House he will be one of the very few people who does NOT have to worry about being sent to prison in the US. This of course gives him a very strong incentive to play dirty and attempt to seize power by force if he is defeated in the actual election.

THREE DAYS TO GO

On Nov 1 2024, Orlando pro-Palestine activists gathered near the big Orlando Health hospital. Speakers explained that they had no issue with the place and in fact love it. Rather the issue is that similar hospitals (ALL of them) have been bombed in Gaza and the bombing continues.

The bombs are “Proudly made in the USA.”
