Follow Up: Calling Out Antisemitism on Twitter

     Two weeks ago, I put up a post called Calling Out Antisemitism on Twitter. It was about a twitter user called MEastQuagmire who was using the Palestinian/Israeli conflict as his cause, but really his tweets were just hiding antisemitism. He kept deleting his posts so I took pictures so they would not get lost forever. Below is the rest of our conversation on Twitter.

Exclusive: Federal Reserve Limiting Free Speech?

     I was having a conversation with someone I know yesterday who is attending some seminar/workshop thing with the Federal Reserve in the next few weeks. This individual is an accounting professional. He tells me all the time how he goes to the workshops as part of his continuing education requirements. For all intensive purposes we will call this individual my source.
     My source has told me that the Federal Reserve had sent an email to all of the individuals attending the event. In the email, the Federal Reserve outlined rules. Some of these rules described not asking questions to the speakers that are intimidating. The attendees were also ordered to not display any negative emotions about the material the entire day. In essence, the attendees are suppose to just nod and go with the flow.
     This should piss you off. My source told me he has never seen this before in any of the continuing education courses he has taken, and that includes from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve isn't some private sector company, it is a government entity. Like my source said, "I'm going to ask them questions because I am a tax payer". And he is right. These seminars deal with new rules and regulations in the federal banking system. If a person has a question regarding that then they should have the right to ask. Furthermore, these seminars are to further education, if a person has a question regarding a validity/understanding of a rule then they should be able to ask. Especially since taking continuing education is required by the government.
     Now, it is possible that my source was overreacting or got information mixed up. However, I am inclined to believe him. It is also possible that in a past conference, a speaker was asked an inappropriate question. If that is true though, then why was that rule accompanied by a rule about being negative.
     This is the way our country is going. We are expected to shut up and look happy. We can no longer question the government. This should outrage you.

YouTube Video Explanation

     First off, please excuse any loud breathing on the video. The phone was right in front of my face and I had a cold that day. For anyone who saw, I posted my first video to the Moshe Politics YouTube channel late last night. I just want to give a quick explanation of the video. The video is called "Why Republicans Would Rather Clinton Over Sanders if it Must be One of Them". Basically, I talk about what would happen if Clinton wins and how she'll keep stuff status quo. However, if Sanders win he will redefine the left. Now he is considered a far left candidate, but him winning will make him the new left. I attached the video for you to view.

YouTube Channel

Below is a link to the YouTube Channel for Moshe Politics. This channel is not like the Facebook and the Twitter page where articles will be posted up in a timely matter. The YouTube channel will be for when I feel making a video is the best way to get an idea through.

Calling Out Antisemitism on Twitter

     Yesterday, I put up a meme on Twitter about Mahmoud Abbas. It was about how Abbas said that no Israeli would ever be allowed to live among a Palestinian sate. Middle East politics is always controversial, but unfortunately at times you receive responses from someone who is on the side you disagree with to the nth degree. While sometimes these people are just trolls, the interaction I had the today was not with a troll. A twitter user by the name of @MEastQuagmire responded to me. We had an interaction where he made claims ranging from a video I posted being similar to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels to condoning the murder of Ezra Schwartz to comparing Hamas and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to condoning the knife attacks in Israel by Palestinians as okay under the Geneva Convention. These ridiculous claims by this man should remain public so people who follow him can understand the ludicrous aspects of these statements. He did say that he didn't condone the killing of any children of any religion, I do have to give him that. I wasn't going to post anything about this on my blog until I noticed that some of the tweets had been deleted. Due to this, I called him out on deleting tweets and he posted another tweet condoning the murder of Ezra Schwartz. I decided to take pictures of these in case more gets deleted. 

Tweets that didn't get deleted.

The original post started it all.

Some posts on his timeline.

Some posts by me so you can get a sense of what type of tweets he deleted.

After I called him out on deleting tweets.

Our last interactions as of this post.

Why Bernie Sanders Is Losing The Primaries Despite Everyone You Know Being A Sanders' Supporter

     Super Tuesday is upon us. That means many states will be holding their primaries today. Donald Trump is leading the Republicans with 82 delegates. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are far behind with 17 and 16, respectively. John Kasich and Ben Carson aren't even worth mentioning. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is beating Bernie Sanders 546 to 87 delegates.
     I was reading an article yesterday about the South Carolina primaries and how it is being misread. The article was pro-Bernie and didn't think the primaries are over. I didn't agree with the article and believe Hillary has it in the bag. However, like I often do, I headed to the comments to see other people's perspectives. Of course, like every other political article, there where many different opinions fighting with each other.

     While looking through the comments, I saw someone bringing up a good point, one I have thought of before. Recently, if you have gone on social media, you probably have seen a crazy amount of your friends or family posting memes or articles in favor of Sanders. I know I have seen a good amount and am not a Democrat. In fact, I have seen much more for Sanders compared to an almost nonexistent amount for Clinton. So what is going on? How is it possible that everyone I seem to know is a Sanders supporter, yet Clinton is winning the primaries?

   
     My theory for this is as follows. Most Bernie supporters are younger and millennials. The younger voters are one of the demographics that are least likely to vote. For whatever reason it is, older people seem to care more about voting. While many young people are passionate about Bernie Sanders, they only talk about how he should be President on social media and not through action. Maybe younger voters are busier and don't have the time to vote (especially in states' with caucuses). It could also simply be that young voters don't understand the importance of voting.
     Whatever the reason, the youth vote is not coming through for Sanders. Just talking online isn't action. If your not going to vote then don't complain.
