    After Israel was founded 850,000 to 1,000,000 MENA Jews were forced or encouraged to flee/migrate from their home countries. The assets stolen from them in these purges are currently valued at $150 to $263 billion.

    While our left "allies," unironically, tell these MENA Jews to go the fuck back to Poland routinely.

        Syracuse University Seeks to Prevent Campus Rape Victim From Obtaining Police Records
        ---

        The university, whose 1980s rape crisis figured prominently in a ProPublica article, committed to support survivors at “every step of the process.” Now it’s in court to stop police from sharing many records with a student who was assaulted in 1987.

          I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.

                    SMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.

                    The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed

                    https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk

                    Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.

                    Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.

                    Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.

                    The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.
