All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Comedian Dave Chappelle went on a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel rant at a show in Boston on Thursday evening — and was cheered by the crowd, causing Jews present in the audience to walk out.
Hello my friends. This is my first FB post in nearly 7 years. With that said, it is also the only social media platform I have, so I hope people still use FB.
I would like to share with you an experience I had last night. [My wife] and I went to the Dave Chappelle-Standup Comedy show at TD Garden with three other couples. What started out as a funny and joyful evening for the 8 of us ending with disgust and fear.
Towards the end of his act, Chappelle mentioned the war in Israel and how he as a Muslim denounces Israel for its treatment of the people in Gaza and started to add in lots of false and unsubstantiated claims. A gentleman towards the front yelled out “You should shut the F up”. Chappelle lost it on the man yelling, “You do not tell me to shut the F up at MY show”. Chappelle then started on a tirade of his beliefs leaving comedy behind and focusing purely on the politics.
While that was awful in itself, what made my heart sink and started to invoke fear was when the crowd of nearly 20,000 people started yelling out “Go Palestine. Go Hamas.” and other related hatful jargon. The audience was cheering Chappelle on during his tirade. I was sick. We were sick. I turned to my friends and wife and said I think it is time to go. We walked out and met up with many other Jews leaving the show. Never in my life have I felt so unsafe and so fearful of what I was witnessing. The words alone were horrific, but we were vulnerable in a public forum. How could we know what would happen? Could violence against the Jewish members in the audience break out?
Here in Boston, how was there so much hate for Jews. How could a comedy show provide such a mechanism for people to verbally shout our their hatred for Jews? The unfortunate icing on the cake was that all cell phones and communication devices had to be locked up so there is no video or audio evidence. With that, I am hoping social media can spread this word.
If you have made it this far and know how to use social media better than me, please share and see if we can get this to the Boston Globe. Thank you.
Unfortunately, chances the Globe will say anything about this are minimal, and if memory serves, they're owned by the awful New York Times. The Wall Street Journal did give a report though:
Chappelle first condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, but criticized what he said were war crimes in Gaza, according to people in attendance.
The comments came up when Chappelle said he didn’t think students should lose job offers for supporting Palestinians. An audience member’s command for the comedian to shut up drew an emotional response from Chappelle, who criticized the Israeli government for cutting off water and other essentials to Gaza and accused it of killing innocent people, according to the attendees.
Some audience members cheered Chappelle on and shouted “Free Palestine,” while others yelled, “What about Hamas,” the attendees said. Some in the crowd got up and left.
Boston is becoming one of a number of places in the USA where I once wanted to visit, and no longer do. Chappelle's vulgar tirade also explains why he opposed Donald Trump 5 years before. The Netflix management said they screwed up defending Chappelle because of his alleged stance on LGBT issues. No. This latest atrocity in Boston is why. When somebody takes the side of the barbarians - and the audience takes his side in turn - it destroys everything, because he makes himself no different - and easily worse - than the perverts.
Geller drew national attention last month after an off-duty police officer working security thwarted an attack at her organization's contest for Prophet Mohammed drawings in Garland, Texas. She's president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which includes subsidiary programs Stop Islamization of America and Stop Islamization of Nations.
"They targeted me for violating Sharia blasphemy laws. They mean to kill everyone who doesn't do their bidding and abide by their law voluntarily," Geller told CNN's Erin Burnett after learning of the alleged plot.
"This is a showdown for American freedom. Will we stand against this savagery or bow down to them and silence ourselves?"
Geller said that she's had an "army of security" since last month's Texas incident.
"This is what is required just to show a cartoon in America, 2015," she said. "It's striking. It's devastating, and people need to understand what's at stake. I mean, if we surrender on this point, what will we surrender next?"
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was being held, released the following statement Monday night, "As you are aware, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center accepted in transfer on Sunday evening a patient who had reported traveling from Liberia. Our evaluation is now complete and we have determined with certainty the patient does not have Ebola Virus Disease. The patient remains in good condition."
The Boston Public Health Commission also said in a statement Monday night that the passengers transported from Logan International Airport to various Boston hospitals this afternoon do not have Ebola.
BPHC said, "After discussions with out partner hospitals Boston Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital, the Boston Public Health Commission's Infectious Disease Bureau has determined that the patients who arrived on United Emirates Flight No. 237 at Logan International Airport do not meet the criteria for any infections of public health concern, including Ebola, MERS or meningococcal infection." AND THEN THERE'S THIS: HOLY SHIT! As if plane passengers didn't have enough to worry about...
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A Texas man who was on the American Airlines flight that made an emergency landing after some of the cabin's wall panels cracked loose says passengers knew there was a problem soon after the plane took off from San Francisco.
James Wilson, an amateur race car driver returning from a competition in Northern California, said they felt the fuselage violently shaking and heard popping noises coming from the outside of the Boeing 757 as Flight 2293 made its initial ascent on Monday.
Wilson says people sitting toward the middle of the plane then screamed for the flight attendants to come as they watched the interior panels pull apart on both sides of the plane.
He says the captain decided to keep heading to Dallas for another 45 minutes until he came back and saw the damage for himself.
Remember this guy? His name is Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Alharbi and he's the Saudi national who at one time was a 'person of interest' in the Boston Marathon terror attack, and who was supposedly deported to Saudi Arabia after Michelle Obama came to visit him at the hospital? Would you believe he returned to the White House on July 4? He's the guy on the right. He was part of a group of 'military families.'
Apparent pictures posted on the Internet and a Saudi news outlet say yes.
A Twitter feed appears to show photos of the young man posing before the edifice – decorated with red, white, and blue banners to celebrate the holiday – in addition to close-up photos of the first couple.
They come from the Twitter account of an individual claiming to be Alharbi’s father, though that information has not been confirmed.
According to a professional translation of the account’s information, however, the given name is “‘Ali Al-Salimi Al-Harbi,” and the description reads: “Father of Abd Al-Rahman who was injured in the Boston bombings.”
Alharbi is seemingly on the far right. (Photo: Twitter/@aliessa1312)
The caption in the above photo, translated, reads: “We attended the celebration with my son Abd Al-Rahman and my son Issa.”
Another photo appears to show Barack and Michelle Obama greeting either someone in their group, or someone very close by.
The translated caption claims: “We greeted Obama and his wife…”
(Photo: Twitter/@aliessa1312)
The images of Barack and Michelle Obama seem consistent with others from the day, in terms and appearance, though that doesn’t necessarily mean they are genuine.
Below is a picture from the news service Getty showing the same outfits:

The president and first lady are hosting members of the military and their families in commemoration of Independence Day. Credit: Getty Images
Not only that, but a Reuters photo appears to show three men dressed in black suitsphotographing the band roughly in line with where the Saudi family’s Twitter pictures place them. Their surroundings — down to the outfits of the individuals they’re standing next to — appear to align in both the Twitter and Reuters images, as well.
First, a photo from the Twitter account:

Though it’s difficult to see the details above, at full-size, one can make out that to the left of the suited men is an individual in a bright purple shirt, another in a turquoise shirt, and one in a blue and white shirt — as seen in the Twitter image. You can see a larger version of the Reuters picture by clicking on the above image.
So why would the Alharbi family have been at the White House for Independence Day?
According to some Arabic-language media, they were invited.
A recent post from the Twitter account in question links to a July 6 report from Al-Hayat – a widely-read pan-Arab daily newspaper – with the comment: “Today [Saturday] the Al-Hayat newspaper published a news item stating that Abd Al-Rahman and his family had been invited by the White House to participate in America’s Independence Day celebrations.” [Emphasis added]
A number of lingering questions remain on the issue, though the White House has not responded to TheBlaze’s inquiries.
First, was the Independence Day event actually by invitation-only? Or, could anyone have their photograph taken on the lawn? If the party wasn’t by invitation-only, was the guest list at least pre-screened?
A White House pool report from the day indicates that the event was closed to the public, reading: “The President and First Lady [celebrated] the 4th by hosting ‘military heroes and their families’ along with administration staff and families at a White House barbecue and concert on the South Lawn.”
A photo allegedly of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi in the hospital after the Boston Marathon bombings.
So is the story that they were invited to a celebration honoring military heroes a fabrication? Or if the claims and photos are genuine – why did they receive an invitation?
It is possible victims of the Boston Marathon bombing were also among the invitees, but TheBlaze found no reports of mass invitations. If that was the justification, Alharbi seemingly would have had to have been part of a selected group.
And if Alharbi truly was there, it wouldn’t be the first time Saudi outlets are reporting he has been close to the First Lady. According to reports in April, the First Lady visited the young Saudi in the hospital — and alleged pictures surfaced days later.
Not only was Alharbi named a “person of interest” in the Boston bombings, he was reportedly set for deportation on 212 (3)(B) grounds – “security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” — after the tragedy.
Sources told TheBlaze his file was altered on the evening of April 17 to disassociate him from the initial charges, and according to Glenn Beck, “someone later went in and tried to destroy both the original event file and an amended version.”
Even if he was invited, the fact that someone who is not an American soldier was there could spark interest.
Mysterious, indeed.

UPDATE: A law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation into the Boston Marathon Bombing has confirmed to TheBlaze that the person in the photo is Alharbi.
This Saudi Royal-connected little fuck was living in a flop house in a bad neighborhood at the time.
How is it la guy who is connected to the Saudi Royal Family, who also happens to live in an apartment in a bad neighborhood, with no photos on his walls is NOT so suspicious that we just outright assass, uh, I mean, make the little bastard disappear?
HERE'S THE BACKGROUND
VIDEO: MULTIPLE CONFIRMATION OF IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION OF SAUDI NATIONAL "PERSON OF INTEREST" IN BOSTON BOMBING
You Know That Report That the Saudi National Was Being Deported?
And Then That Was Debunked?
It's Re-Bunked
From Atlas:
Watch this video. Abdul al-Harbi, who was first questioned in the Boston bombing, is going to be deported on“national security grounds.” Watch this interview on Hannity with terrorism expert Steve Emerson, confirming the stunning news. Al-Harbi is adevout Muslim from Medina. Anti-Jihad activist and blogger Walid Shoebat reports that he is a scion of a very powerful Saudi family with terrorist ties.
The well-connected Saudi person of interest in the Boston bombing was visited by Saudi Consul General in New York Azam Al-Qain. Al-Harbi had multiple national security violations:
Saudi Consul General in New York was in the Hospital with Saudi National "Person of Interest" in Boston Bombing MEMRI
Saudi media outlets – Alarabiya.net, Al-Watan, 'Okaz, and Sabq.org – reported on Saudi nationals who were wounded in the April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and on their situations.
The following is a review of the reports:

UPDATE: "Exclusive: Congressional Source Contradicts ICE Account, Says Lawmakers in Possession of File on Saudi National That Called for Visa Revocation", The Blaze: (thanks to Andrew Bostom)
Documents have been presented to Congress confirming that plans were made to revoke the visa of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a Saudi national once considered a “person of interest” in the Boston bombings, a congressional source told TheBlaze on Thursday.
Other sources, including one at the FBI, previously informed TheBlaze that there have been discussions aboutdeporting Alharbi on “security and related grounds.” He has been living in the Boston area and in the U.S. on a student visa. An FBI source said the agency is against deporting Alharbi because of his status as a material witness.
The congressional source told TheBlaze it was unclear as to why representatives from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be unaware of this information. Earlier on Thursday, an official with ICE said it was “categorically false” that Alharbi had ever been considered for deportation.
National Targeting Center, a counterterrorism sub-agency of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security. The file stated that the individual is “linked to the Boston bombing” and was to be processed for revocation of his visa based on national security grounds, the congressional source revealed.
The source confirmed seeing the information sent to members of Congress but could not provide copies of any documents to TheBlaze.
WHERE THEY DON'T REQUIRE BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR TENANCY ...
WHAT THE FUCK???
What, me worry?
Saudi national Abdul al-Harbi, who was first questioned in the Boston bombing, is going to be deported on"national security grounds." Abdul al-Harbi, a devout Muslim from Medina, is from a very powerful Saudi family with many terrorist ties. It takes longer than 15 hours to investigate all of Abdul al-Harbi's relatives, friends, acquaintances, and business and school friends.
Perhaps a quick look at the Arabic sources should raise the eyebrows of every American relative to the extent of the problem at hand. Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are steeped in terrorism and are members of Al-Qaeda. Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda:
When I heard his family was tied to the royal house of Saud, I worried about this kind of thing happening to the investigation. Yesterday's stunning display of rolling incompetence and badly mangled leaks speaks to that. Secretary of State Kerry's meeting with the Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al-Faisal was abruptly closed to the press the day Abdul al-Harbi was being questioned. There is no doubt in my mind that this was discussed.
U.S. President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday -- the meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule.
In light of the new revelations from Steven Emerson, that the Saudi national who was once a ‘person of interest’ in the Boston marathon bombings, identified by his full name as Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi is being deported on ‘national security grounds’, why is the Saudi no longer a person of interest?
Via Okaz, a very prominent Saudi newspaper, we have a photo of Alharbi during his stay in a Boston hospital. He doesn’t look too concerned, does he?
The following is based on a translation of the article that appeared in Okaz:
Ambassador to the royal crown, Adel ben Ahmad Al-Jubeir, had several phone calls with the paper as well as with the Royal family. He stated that very high-ranking, U.S. government officials stated that there is no suspicion of any Saudi nationals relative to the Boston marathon explosions.
The Saudi Consul General in New York, Abdel Karim Alqin assured Okaz that all Saudis have been cleared and two Saudis were injured, including Alharbi and a Saudi female doctor named Nura Khalid Saleh al-Ajaji.
Prince Saud al-Faisal, Prince Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah from the Foreign Ministry, and Prince Khaled bin Saud were involved in the entire affair.
Three other Saudis were cleared from the forbidden area, two of which were put in a hotel at the expense of the Saudi consulate
Alqin disclosed that he cleared three Saudis from the forbidden area and housed two of them in a hotel; the third stayed with a friend. He also met with a group of Saudi students, telling them to carry on with their lives and that Saudi ambassadors would handle everything. These students were also told not to cooperate with any media entities and to lay low.
At a site called Sabq, Alharbi’s father talks about how a member of the Aldawsari clan – Ali Aldawsari – visited his son in the hospital. Remember what we wrote about Khalid Aldawsarihere:
Take Khalid Aldawsari, a Saudi national. He is a student and an Al-Qaeda terrorist who planned to use weapons of mass destruction in the U.S., to include an attempted assassination of president Bush. Aldawsari was not a lone wolf; he was backed by an entire system. The wealthy and powerful Aldawsari clan, which includes the powerful Sheik Saud Bin Mut’ab who hosted a support group for the terrorist defending him publicly while funding his legal team.
Again, the role of the Saudi clans becomes important. Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi belongs to a clan that consists of several al-Qaeda members. Ali Aldawsari belongs to a clan that consisted of one man who attempted to assassinate George W. Bush.
Here is a photo of Alharbi and his father in top left:
If no one has been arrested, how is it that all Saudis have been cleared? Could it have anything to do with Barack Obama’s unplanned meeting with the Saudi Foreign Minister today?
Lifted in its entirety from Tammy Swofford's blog (dated April 18, 2013):
Yes, I have violated my own policy to avoid graphic images. Two things caused me to consider posting this image. *A print media organization chose to photo-shop injuries to make them look benign and palatable to readers. Acts of terror are committed by individuals with malignant ideologies. Malignant images should not be softened. *Is this one of the images taken by Carlos Arredondo? If so, how did it end up on a jihad portal? Has it passed from person to person? Or did "our side" post it to elicit information? Regardless, the concern for me is the "Ha ha" comment on the site. This is not a "Ha ha" moment. Sane people never laugh in the face of immense tragedy. I apologize for the horrific image. But it seems very, very important that Americans understand the true medical outcomes of explosions activated within corridors with a dense population demographic. Reading about "amputations" and "dismemberment" is one thing. Seeing it, is completely different. I contend that it is not the Time Magazine cover with a child with a blood streak on the face which is the image which shows the horrific nature of this attack. It it the image of a man with dismemberment which defines this act. This is the image. View it quickly and then let it sink into your psyche. Stop for a moment, and imagine the PTSD for the surgeons and nurses who had to receive these injuries into the operating room. Can they sleep now? I cannot sleep. Pray. Pray for our nation. Pray that the forensic evidence will lead to an arrest. Pray that when an arrest is made, we will react as Americans: with fortitude, patience, and the wisdom to examine the situation with clarity. Fall on your knees. Pray for the families involved. Now that you have viewed the image, put a guard on your own heart. Evil exists. We have seen it in full. We reject it. Tammy Swofford
I don't know how reliable THIS is (from Twitchy): Suspects identified on police scanner as Mike Mulugeta, Sunil Tripathi; one ‘suspect is running’
Can anyone verify?
UPDATE:Associated Press is reporting that the two suspects are from a Russian region near Chechnya. The man on the run has been named as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, age 19.
...Like all of the other activities planned for Islam Awareness Month, the hijab challenge emphasized a theme of “common ground” and aimed to “dispel some of the stereotypes and misconceptions attached to Islam,” Hassanali said, “and answer some of the questions people have about the religion.”
The women, who signed up at their dorms or at the George Sherman Union Link, were given links to instructional videos and pink buttons that read “BU Hijab Day Challenge—Ask Me About My Hijab.” Hassanali said that while some of the women “got negative comments from friends and colleagues, most of them got positive feedback.”...
Full-time tuition at Boston University ranges from $42,000-$62,000. Getting one's money's worth of dhimmitude, huh?
You mean there might be more Jihadis involved? Shocker.
More disillusioned Muslims upset over the economy and loss of the American-dream, no doubt…
(Boston Herald)- Federal agents today executed search warrants in Watertown and other locations across the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted May 1 Times Square bombing, said Warren T. Bamford, Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge.
FBI agents are also on scene at a Harvard Street Mobil gas station and used car lot in Brookline at this hour, but it is unclear whether the activity is related to the Times Square probe.
“We can confirm that search warrants have been executed in several locations in the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing,” Bamford said. “A number of individuals encountered during the searches were taken into federal custody for alleged immigration violations.“
Bamford said the searches “are the product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the attempted Times Square bombing and do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States."

Yemen To Boston LNG Shipments Approved
BOSTON (AP) - Coast Guard officials say they've developed a security plan to allow the passage of tankers carrying liquefied natural gas shipments from Yemen through the Port of Boston.
Coast Guard Capt. John Healey said the planned shipments that are set to begin at the end of the month have been under review for nearly a year.
Healey, captain of the port, declined to give details of the security plans but said he decide on a case-by-case basis whether to allow each ship to an offloading area in Everett, Mass.
The tankers filled with the potentially explosive gas have become a renewed cause for concern after al-Qaida's offshoot in Yemen allegedly plotted the Christmas Day attempt to bomb a U.S. passenger jet.
About 30 shipments from Yemen are expected annually.
I would bet real money if I had any that the next terrorist "incident" will result in Boston Mayor Thomas Menino pulling the plug on this little security experiment faster than it takes an LNG tanker to go boom and take out half the city.
A great deal of attention has been paid to the terror hazards associated with these huge tankers sailing under a major bridge into an enclosed harbor area, but plans to move the storage facility to a more isolated island location in Boston Harbor have gone nowhere. All the publicity has, of course, made the LNG tankers tempting targets for anyone who might try a shot at getting an explosive device onto one of these enormous floating bombs.
