It means: GOOD MORNING, WORLD WIDE WEB. My name is Jeff and I am a professional multi-media artist. If you do not know me or about me, you should... I am a very interesting person. In fact, there are those who think I am a person of interest...
What's in your coffee this morning? Mine has some shit in it - some shit from Chicago, actually. Chicago no longer is my kind of town - at all!!!

This is Linda Sarsour. I do not like her. She does not like me - she doesn't know me but she doesn't like Jewish people. Ironically, a Jewish organization sponsored her to appear onstage at a gathering this past week-end in Chicago, not my kind of town because of this, among other things - like the highest per capita gunshot murders in any US city. Not my kind of town. Not that Philadelphia, the world-recognized City of Brotherly Love, is that much better; that city fights for the highest number of gunshot deaths each year with Chicago and Los Angeles. Philadelphia won in 2015-2016.
Linda Sarsour stood onstage with Rasmea Odeh, a convicted murderer who lied to enter the USA and has been living in Chicago for the past ten years.
Let me share what the professional woman reporter posted about this duo onstage in Chicago at a self-serving hate group's gathering:
"The Brooklyn-born Sarsour, daughter of Palestinian
immigrants, shared the dais Sunday with another darling of the feminist 'resistance,' Rasmea Odeh — convicted in Israel of killing two Hebrew
University students in a 1969 terrorist attack and of planning an attack on the
British Consulate. After her release, Odeh was able to immigrate to the United
States by hiding her crime. She’s now being deported to Jordan.
Odeh has become a leftist hero. Sunday night, she and
Sarsour embraced, and Sarsour gushed to the audience about feeling “honored and
privileged to be here in this space, and honored to be on this stage with
Rasmea.”
It’s a curious embrace of terrorism and anti-Semitism
from a recipient of a $500,000 taxpayer grant from Mayor de Blasio, as
Sarsour’s group, the Arab American Association of New York, was last year.
Sarsour, in fact, has been an important ally of de Blasio’s since his election
— a role she’s sure to reprise in the mayor’s bid for a second term.
Sarsour said last month feminism is 'about the rights of
all women.' Yet in the same interview, when asked whether there’s “room for
people who support the state of Israel” in the women’s movement, she said:
“There can’t be in feminism.” Apparently, Sarsour doesn’t believe all women
deserve equal rights — Israeli and Israel-supporting women are an exception.
And, by her logic, since she isn’t for the rights of all women, she isn’t a
feminist.
In a flattering interview with Ha’aretz, Sarsour
advocated a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which the Jewish
state would no longer exist. And Sarsour once tweeted that “nothing is creepier
than Zionism.” Meaning that her struggles, whether they’re for Palestinians or
women, are just, but the Jewish liberation movement has no right to exist.
In her speech to Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization
of extremist Jewish activists dedicated to delegitimizing Israel, Sarsour said, 'There’s always been anti-Semitism,' and people must fight it.
She doesn’t seem to grasp that advocating wiping Israel
off the map, as she does, is fighting for the continued oppression of Jews,
denying their self-determination and taking away their safe haven — nor did she
seem to grasp the chutzpah required to make a statement like that after
embracing and praising Odeh.
Sarsour doesn’t only deny the rights of Jewish and
pro-Israel women — for example, she said Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a prominent critic of
radical Islam and victim of female genital mutilation should have her vagina
taken away.
Sarsour claimed that Zionists are asking her 'to somehow
leave out a portion of my identity so you can be welcomed to a space to work on
justice . . . We, as
Palestinian-Americans . . . will not change who we are to make anyone comfortable.'
Here’s the thing: No one asked Sarsour to stop being a
Palestinian-American or wanting there to be a Palestinian state. What
pro-Israel feminists — like myself and Emily Shire, who wrote a New York Times
column that sparked the question of feminism and Zionism — are saying is, we
may not agree on the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but we agree
that we want equal rights for women, so let’s join forces on that.
But Sarsour is an adherent of intersectionality, an idea
that women cannot separate the different elements of a woman’s identity, such
that the oppression of marginalized groups is compounded with women’s
oppression. The women’s movement, according to people who believe this idea,
can’t just be about equality for women.
Therefore, Sarsour has argued, Palestinian women suffer
more than Palestinian men and the women’s movement must be anti-Israel. What
she forgets is that, by that logic, Israeli women suffer more than Israeli men,
for example, when Hamas shoots rockets from Gaza at Israeli civilians or
Palestinian terrorists try to run them over.
Yet she doesn’t think all bigotry must be fought. 'Of
course there’s anti-Semitism,' she said Sunday, adding that she doesn’t ask for
Jews’ political opinions before she opposes discrimination against them. But
then, she said anti-Semitism 'can’t exactly compare . . . to anti-black
racism or Islamophobia.'
Sorry, Jews, your safety doesn’t really matter. Then
again, that’s not surprising from someone who thinks Israel shouldn’t exist and
praises a murderer of Israelis.
Any movement that seeks to uplift women shouldn’t be led
by someone so unapologetically discriminatory, or it cannot claim to stand for the
rights of all women. Women deserve better than Linda Sarsour’s doublespeak."

The
hacking group, Anonymous, and in particular a Palestinian offshoot of the
organization, are already in the midst of heated discussions, on various online
forums, about their intent to proceed with the annual campaign of attacking
Jewish and Israeli websites and other related digital assets beginning Friday,
April 7, 2017. The campaign, which originally dates back to 2013, became an
annual event as part of the Palestinian offensive against Israel, Jews and
Zionism or any entity believed to be affiliated with Jews.

The attackers in this
particular instances are looking for websites that they can breach easily, and
within the 24-hours they have designated for such a campaign, and one they
refer to with the hashtag and title #opIsrael. Various underground forums have
been setup for the attackers to post their achievements so that they can be
praised by their peers. The focus of the attacks is to corrupt or bring down
targeted websites. This is called a Denial of Service (DoS) and Defacing
attacks. Attacked websites either cease to operate due to the amount of traffic
they experience or the attackers may gain access to the website administrative
control panel and upload their political web pages thereby overwriting their
original content. It has also been observed that in some instances, the
attackers forego any political messaging whatsoever and instead opt to upload nothing
more than pornographic content, likely in an attempt to discredit the victim.
It
is important to note that some attacks have in the past continued until the end
of April although the frequency and participation rates have declined rapidly
post the April 7 date. This year, April 7th falls on a Friday, which means that
the attackers can take their time and continue attacks throughout the weekend
with relative ease, therefore it is expected that the majority of attacks will
take place April 7th to the 9th.
Anonymous
Hacking groups have claimed in the past that they have hacked hundreds of
websites, thousands of PayPal and Email accounts. It is therefore advisable to
ensure appropriate activities are taken to increase the security of your
accounts.
Follow
these relatively simple rules to improve your online security:
- Ensure you are running the latest software on your websites – outdated software is usually vulnerable to attacks
- Change your online passwords – use passphrases rather than an 8 character (or less password). It is far more difficult to attack a long passphrase (e.g. mypasswordisnoteasilyguessableonmondays) versus a short password such as: password123. Secure your administrative account credentials on a regular basis (at least every 90 says).
- Do not use the same passwords for different services
- Install appropriate security devices and software to protect your business (e.g. Firewalls)
