The Jewish Council for Public Affairs [JCPA] has named Amy Spitalnick as its new CEO. The appointment could not come soon enough, after the organization’s decision to pursue a more liberal approach to break away from the consensus-driven Jewish Federations of America.
In addition to being called a “modern-day Nazi fighter”, Spitalnick has earned the title of “democracy defender.”
Spitalnick sued the Charlottesville 2017 neo-Nazis “Unite the Right” rally organizers and won a successful multimillion-dollar lawsuit, as the executive director of Integrity First for America [IFA].
“There needs to be an organization that wholeheartedly recognizes how deeply intertwined Jewish safety is with other communities’ safety and how bound up that all is in a broader fight for democracy at this moment, and builds the sorts of coalitions within and across communities that are essential to moving the needle,” she said.
The Jewish global human rights organization Simon Wiesenthal Center released its Top Ten Worst Global Anti-Semitic Incidents 2022 on January 29. [see pdf].
Ye topped the list for “his continued anti-Semitic comments and leveraging his immense social media platform to weaponize hate, bigotry, and ignorance.”
Kanye West, legally known as Ye, seems to have gone underground, although TMZ reported a single Kanye citing in LA in December. A former business manager for the rapper Thomas St. John has filed a $4.5 million lawsuit against West but is unable to serve him with papers. St. John has requested an extension from the court.
Yeezy Rent Eviction Looming
Reports are that West’s Yeezy offices in California are on the verge of eviction after missing both November and December’s rent payments of $31,477.40 per month.
Rolling Stone Magazine keeps up the blistering pace of their reporting on all matters related to Kanye West. In a new piece by Cheyenne Roundtree, Rolling Stone says that the rapper spoke of his admiration for Hitler during the making of 2004 Grammy-winning debut album ‘The College Dropout’.
West allegedly studied Nazi propaganda strategies and power-gaining tactics to formulate his own personal persona as a rapper, with the goal of using Nazi tactics to achieve his own fame and success.
Sharp Drop in Kanye West’s Republican Support December 2022 YouGov America Poll
In October, Republicans were split (45% favorable to 42% unfavorable) on their opinion of Ye in the You/Gov America poll. Now, just 26% have a favorable opinion of him and 65% have an unfavorable opinion.
For the first time in its 80-year history, the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has rescinded the highly-valued, prestigious honorary doctorate it awarded to Kanye West in 2015.
In an email sent to members of the SAIC community today, the school’s president Elissa Tenny cited Ye’s recent “disturbing behaviors” and “dangerous statements” as the reasons behind the decision.
“His anti-Black, antisemitic, and incendiary statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities, are disgusting and condemnable,” Tenny wrote. “His words and actions have been painful for our entire community and, particularly, for those of us who feel that our identities and life experiences are under attack.”
We don’t know if Kanye West is referring to the Illuminati in his latest rant that began Friday night. Note that The Root raised the question. But the fact that he spoke about his own colleages — some of them already associated with the Illuminati — suggests that this is the secret society Kanye is ranting about.
Last night West began calling out people by name who he says are currently “under control” by unnamed powers. “They can’t control me, you know what I’m saying,” West begins. “They can control Shaq, they can control Charles Barkley, they can control LeBron James.
“They can control Jay-Z and Beyonce,” West said. “But they can’t control me. Ain’t no name I won’t name. It’s up.”
It got worse, when West began speaking on Hollywood “sacrifices” — including the death of his mother Donda West.
Anne here. The good news is that the book — made into a film — ‘Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America’ did arrive. NBA Nets star Kyrie Irving, with backup from Kanye West, did put the book in overdrive.
For me, I want the book, because Anne is not interested in research with no footnotes — or an ability to pause and Google a statement just made, against other research resources. This is how I read most books.
Kanye’s statement that he has never read a book is ironic. Ye compared reading books to eating brussel sprouts, while owning a school Donda Academy. Kanye’s school is now closed due to his antisemitism and the rebuke and resignations by Jews involved with Donda Academy’s curriculum development.
On Thursday Nets guard Kyrie Irving was suspended indefinitely for promoting an anti-Semitic film based on the book “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America”. The book promotes several anti-Semitic tropes, including the despicable lie that the Holocaust never happened.
Late Friday, Nov 4, NIKE suspended its relationship with Kyrie Irving, including the introduction of his new NIKE KYRIE 8 shoe. ESPN reported last May that dealings with Kyrie Irving were so complex for Nike, that there was a good chance that Nike would not renew his contract at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Nike has produced Irving’s popular signature shoe since 2014 and is taking the financial hit on cancelling the Kyrie 8 launch.
“At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech, and we condemn any form of antisemitism,” the company said.
Until today, November 1, 2022, the worst news I’ve heard recently about the young Jewish hero Anne Frank was a book about her being swept into the book-banning insanity underway in Texas and across America.
Today’s news is a constellation of Anne Frank, Kanye West and far-right Swedish politician Rebecka Fallenkvist.
The Swede posted on Instagram about Anne Frank’s journal, with Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’ Music to accompany Fallenkvist’s words.
“Fifty pages in and so far Anne Frank has only struck me as debauched, the horniness itself,” Sweden Democrat (SD) Rebecka Fallenkvist wrote on Instagram.
What Ari Emanuel needs from Kanye West is for him to reconsider his Ye-identity refusal to spend private time with the executives at the Holocaust Museum LA, educating himself on the facts of the Holocaust.
Adidas, the German sportswear giant had faced pressure from the public and its own employees to cut ties with Ye, who said on a podcast on Oct. 16: “I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what?”
Adidas said in a statement: “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
“After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”
Today, Oct. 24, film and television studio MRC announced that it will not release a finished documentary on Kanye West, following his anti-Semetic comments. “This morning, after discussion with our filmmakers and distribution partners, we made the decision not to proceed with any distribution for our recently completed documentary about Kanye West,” CEO Modi Wiczyk, CEO Asif Satchu, and COO Scott Tenley wrote in a joint statement sent to the media. “We cannot support any content that amplifies his platform.”
Asked if MRC had submitted the Kanye West documentary to festivals, executives responded that “all activities are being pulled.”
In their open letter, the MRC leaders wrote that West has helped “mainstream” antisemitism in the current climate. “The silence from leaders and corporations when it comes to Kanye or antisemitism, in general, is dismaying but not surprising. What is new and sad, is the fear Jews have about speaking out in their own defense,” Wiczyk, Satchu and Tenley wrote.
We Cannot Be Silent About Kanye West’s Anti-Semitism
Ari Emanuel is one of the Jews Kanye was wailing about yesterday in his grievance-centered, interview with Chris Cuomo.
Emanuel has called upon companies like Apple and Spotify, like Adidas who is currently reviewing their contractual relationship with West and other business partners who raise revenue off of Kanye West, to suspend their relationships.
“West is not just any person — he is a pop culture icon with millions of fans around the world,” Emanuel wrote in an op-ed for The Financial Times. “And among them are young people whose views are still being formed. This is why it is necessary for all of us to speak out. Hatred and anti-Semitism should have no place in our society, no matter how much money is at stake.”
Indiana’s public news media WFYI reports that Attorney General Todd Rokita “came to the defense” of rapper Ye, known to the world by his former name of Kanye West. Roika wrote: “The constant hypocrisy from the media is at an all-time high. They have now gone after Kanye for his new fashion line, his independent thinking, & for having opposing thoughts from the norm of Hollywood.”
AOC notes that in an exclusively numerical overview, Jewish people have a much larger presence in Hollywood, as it relates to their percent of the total American population, about 2.4% of American adults.
Our current focus is AG Rokita defending Kanye West’s vitriolic anti-Semitism that was expressed before his recent social media posts. In new information that broke Oct. 12, JP Morgan bank told Kanye West that they would no longer be his banker, giving him a month to move his money out of the institution.
