MASS SHOOTER AT BROWN TARGETED CLASSROOM OF PROFESSOR WHO TAUGHT JUDAIC STUDIES AT @BrownUniversity. THE PROFESSOR ALSO TAUGHT ABROAD IN ISRAEL!

Why is the media protecting the murderous Muslim who killed innocent people at Brown University?

Source tells me the Democrat officials in Rhode Island and woke administrators at Brown are doing all they can to hide the fact that the shooter at Brown University was a Muslim who targeted the classroom of Professor Rachel Friedberg, who taught Judaic Studies in edition to Economics.

A source told me students heard the shooter scream “ALLAHU AKBAR” before he opened fire, but the PC culture of Brown has them afraid of being called “Islamophobic”.

Source tells me Police and @FBI agents on the ground have also been instructed by Democrat officials on the ground in Rhode Island to not say the words “Muslim” or “Islamic terror”.
 
You may not be interested in reality; but reality is VERY interested in you.

Denying the facts, only allows the facts of the problem to perpetuate and compound.
 
good to understand


You’ve probably heard this claim repeated often:“

Most extremist-related murders in the U.S. are committed by right-wing extremists.

”That claim comes primarily from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and it’s widely treated as a neutral, reality-based fact.

Here’s the problem: the issue is not fake data. The issue is how the data is defined, what is excluded, and how the conclusion is presented.

1) What the ADL actually measures.
The ADL does not track all violence, or even all ideologically motivated violence. It tracks violence tied to a narrow, pre-selected set of ideologies that it chooses to monitor (primarily certain right-wing and antisemitic ideologies).

Other forms of ideological violence — including attacks on churches or Christian schools that are motivated by hostility toward Christianity — are often excluded or reclassified as “grievance,” “mental health,” or “non-ideological.”

2) This exclusion isn’t random. When entire categories of relevant violence are removed by definition, the dataset is structurally shaped to produce a particular outcome. In other words, right-wing violence doesn’t just “emerge” as dominant — it dominates by construction, because other ideologically relevant violence is definitionally filtered out.

3) The ADL does not publish a full incident-level dataset. We get aggregate conclusions, but not a transparent list of every incident included or excluded. That makes independent verification or reclassification impossible.

4) How the conclusions are presented. Statements like “most extremist-related murders are committed by right-wing extremists” are technically true only within the ADL’s narrow framework, but they are routinely presented — and understood — as describing extremist violence as a whole.

The ADL knows this. Journalists, policymakers, and the public consistently interpret these claims as comprehensive and reality-descriptive. Qualifiers buried in methodology sections don’t correct that misunderstanding.

An analogy:If I sell you a car and describe it as “accident-free,” while knowing it has collision damage — but I’ve defined those collisions as “intentional, so they don’t count” — I haven’t lied word-for-word, but I’ve materially misled you, because any reasonable person understands “accident-free” to mean no collisions, not collisions excluded by definition.

That’s what’s happening here.
The data is real.
The exclusions are intentional.
The misunderstanding is desired. When real data is selectively included, entire categories are omitted, and the result is presented as reality-descriptive, the outcome is a distorted understanding of the issue.

This isn’t about denying right-wing violence. It’s about honest measurement and honest presentation. Selective definitions + omitted context + headline conclusions = misleading analysis, not neutral truth.

The ADL is lying.
 

The Brown Univeristy shooter is a Muslim and police and local officials in Rhode Island have been given strict orders to not say what the shooter shouted. The shooter shouted ALLAHU AKBAR before he opened fire.

Police and local Democrat officials in Rhode Island are worried about “anti-Muslim” backlash. That’s why there is total silence about the shooter being a Muslim.

The shooter is a Muslim with pro-Palestinian sympathies and Brown is one of the universities that has had scandals that pertain to anti-Semitism. They are worried they will lose federal funding.

That’s why the identity of the shooter is being kept a secret. This is all about protecting Muslims.

How come Brown won’t release their campus video footage? Did the shooter hop on a plane to the Middle East?

Is that why there is so much silence from the Feds? Did the shooter flee to a Muslim country?

Is this why we are being gaslit?
 
of course there was a 'manifesto'...


INTERNET SLEUTHS RECOVER NOW-DELETED 2024 MANIFESTO BY BROWN STUDENT AS SHOOTING INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

A now-deleted 2024 essay by Brown University student Mustapha Kharbouch, published in the Institute for Palestine Studies, has been recovered by internet researchers and is circulating online amid the ongoing shooting investigation.

Kharbouch, a third-generation stateless Palestinian refugee born and raised in Lebanon, detailed his extensive involvement in pro-Palestinian activism at Brown in the August 2024 piece titled "I Hear The Voice of My Ancestors Calling: From The Camps to The Campus."

In the essay, he wrote about helping operate the Brown Gaza Solidarity Encampment, watching "61 of my comrades arrested," and caring for 19 students during an eight-day hunger strike.

He described the movement as rooted in "the Palestinian revolutionary tradition which rejects colonialism, carcerality, and any other agents of imperialism and oppression."

His Brown profile page now returns "Page Not Found."

Screenshots circulated quickly online.

Brown President Christina Paxson said she has "no knowledge of any student or faculty web pages being taken down" and that law enforcement is running the investigation, not the administration.

Authorities have not connected Kharbouch to the shooting case.

Officials say there are no credible ongoing threats.

The FBI continues searching for the masked person of interest with a $50,000 reward.

Interesting searching his name, two links from brown.edu come up, but when clicked on, both are page not found.
 
Something to think about... if it was planned and it certainly appears so... who did the planning?


the thing about calling DEI 'economic genocide' is that it undersells it

yes, young White men were systematically excluded from careers during their peak marriage years, but that's just first-order effects.

second-order: marriage market collapse. women date across and up. men without careers become invisible to the women who would have married them and disappear. the "eligible bachelor" pool shrinks.

third-order: fertility crisis. fewer marriages, fewer children. but it's worse than just men not marrying or having families. the women who "won" the DEI lottery got careers instead of families, delayed fertility until it was too late. DEI attacked family formation from both sides, excluded men from provider roles AND diverted women from their fertility window. everyone lost.

fourth-order: psychological. young men couldn't even name what was happening to them. the same institutions that excluded them told them they were "privileged", that complaining was proof of weakness. so they internalized failure as personal inadequacy rather than systemic rigging, retreated into depression, video games, porn. the symptoms we then pathologized as "male failure". the system broke them (on purpose) and blamed them for being broken.

fifth-order: institutional trust gone. once you know positions are filled by demographics rather than competence, every credential becomes suspect (if not a priori worthless). is your doctor qualified or a diversity hire? your pilot? your engineer? you can't prove any individual is incompetent, but you can't trust any individual is competent either. medicine skepticism, academic failure, media skepticism, none of this emerged organically. it was manufactured by the DEI hire you can't be sure is qualified to treat you.

sixth-order: reality became unspeakable. noticing any of this was a fireable offense. pointing out the obvious got you called a bigot, deplatformed or fired. pure totalitarian censorship and the problem couldn't even be acknowledged (until now, finally)
men knew they were being cheated but couldn't say it. women sensed something was wrong with the men but couldn't identify it. relationships poisoned by a dynamic neither party could name.

seventh-order: the feedback loop. fewer eligible men means more women competing for a shrinking pool, more women losing the marriage market, more resentment, more "men are trash", more support for DEI, fewer eligible men and the system accelerates itself.

and the worst part is that DEI was just the economic arm. the same people and institutions pushed the complete package
"toxic masculinity" to pathologize male identity
"the future is female" as explicit zero-sum framing delusion
"believe all women" to weaponize trust against men
"men are trash" to normalize open contempt
a coordinated ideological assault on family formation.

and it even had a business model. HR departments exploded (millions of jobs invented to administer the regime). DEI consultants became a multi-billion dollar industry. politicians got voting blocs dependent on racial grievance. established boomers kept their positions while their competition was eliminated.

the architects knew what they were doing
you don't accidentally build a system that specifically targets men during peak marriage years, tells them they deserve it, makes it unspeakable to complain, attacks their identity as toxic, promotes women into career tracks that burn their fertility, then acts confused when society collapses

if you wanted to suppress the fertility of a specific demographic, engineer the breakdown of trust between the sexes, and make it illegal to notice, the playbook would look exactly like this.

DEI should be held responsible for the fertility crisis, the marriage collapse, the epidemic of male depression and suicide, the destruction of institutional trust, the atomization of society, and the manufactured war between men and women

but DEI was the weapon
the people who designed it, funded it, made it mandatory, enforced it through HR, fired anyone who resisted, called all opposition hate and racism, built careers and industries on its maintenance, they knew. and they're the ones who should be remembered as the architects of one of the worst crimes against humanity
 

WOW! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just revealed the Trump Accounts can grow to over $600,000 THOUSAND dollars by retirement

This is genius.

Bessent says he believes employers will offer MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS to Trump Accounts as well.

The long game. This is really how it's done.

"The president is putting the American dream within reach of every citizen!"
