Modern Nazi Fighter Amy Spitalnick Is New CEO of Jewish Council for Public Affairs

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.

Did Kanye West Just Get Played for Parler? Candice Owens' Husband George Farmer Is CEO

AOC was asleep at the wheel on the subject of Candice Owen and her husband George Farmer, who she married in 2019, being the power couple behind Parler.

Republican mega donor Rebekah Mercer would take issue with who is in charge of Parler, as she controls two of three board seats. To be honest, the Mercer heiress hasn’t gotten much of a return on her investment in uber-right-wing media investments: Parler, Breitbart News and Cambridge Analytica.

The Parler app got banned in the aftermath of America’s January 6 insurrection because it was a haven for communication and calls to war among those who want to overthrow the US government. Apple, and other social media, banned Parler after the Jan. 6 riot.

The Washington Post broke down the whole story on Tuesday, with Candace Owens and Kanye West’s provocative friendship, explained. A subscriber to WaPo, I missed it because it was in the Style section. Although I’m sure the headline was a small one on the front page.

Charlottesville, VA Will Donate Robert E Lee Statue for Meltdown into New Art

/

The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center is a cultural arts and history center whose mission is to honor and preserve the rich heritage and legacy of the African-American community of Charlottesville-Albemarle, Virginia. Additionally, the heritage center promotes a greater appreciation for and understanding of the contributions of African Americans and peoples of the Diaspora locally in Charlottesville, across America and globally as well.

In a modern-day Confederate statue cremation, the controversial statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee will be donated to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. Plans are for the statue, which lived at the center of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, to be melted down into materials for a new piece of public art.

Support Indie-GoGo Fundraising Campaign

An Indiegogo campaign page for the project said that its leaders wanted to “transform a national symbol of white supremacy into a new work of art that will reflect racial justice and inclusion.”
