Javadi, who is the Representative for the majority of BBQ’s readership (Dist. 32), has become a Democrat. He announced this on Sept. 5 via a Substack article at substack.com/home/post/p-172875508 It’s a thoughtful piece worth reading and passing on.

I’ve taken the liberty to copy/paste some the article below. His contact info is: 503-986-1432 or Rep.CyrusJavadi@oregonlegislature.gov.

Gene Dieken
___________

Why Switch?

After long talks with my family, trusted advisors, and many of you, I’ve made my decision: Yes, I’m switching to the Democratic Party.

Not because Democrats are perfect, they’re not. But they’re acting like a governing party. They’re willing to debate ideas on the merits. To defend constitutional principles. To protect minority rights. To do the unglamorous, often thankless work of actually fixing things.

Time after time this past session, it was Democrats who stepped up to support the priorities of the coast, even though I wore the other team’s jersey. It didn’t matter to them. What mattered was whether the policy worked. Meanwhile, Republicans fought against those priorities, against the basic needs of our district. And somewhere along the way, it became clear this wasn’t just a bad season or a passing fever. The Republican Party had chosen a different direction, a different set of values.

By contrast, Democrats were the ones backing not only the needs of the North Coast but also the values I’ve always believed in.

Still, I’m the same person I’ve always been, a champion for Oregon and the North Coast. Does this mean I’ll only represent Democrats in my district or across the state? Absolutely not. I don’t care which party you belong to. I’m an Oregonian, and so are you. That’s enough. I’ll fight for your needs regardless of which bumper sticker is on your car or which flag you wave in your yard.

And my values haven’t changed. I still believe in limited government, free speech, fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, and the rule of law. I still believe your rights don’t come from the state but from something higher. But I also believe government has to work, not just posture.

All the talk about billionaires, and now this? Makes me think of the super villians portrayed in comic books of my youth. There is no Super Hero coming to save the world from them. It’s up to us, now.

Boycott Tesla, but be nice, and NO vandalism. Vote with dollars. And not just Tesla, if we are concerned that some billionaires are ravaging our society then why do we support them with our dollars?? We have choices.

Here is a differing view than Gene’s on fall covid shots:

In my view, Oregon, Washington and California were the three most-fascistic and anti-science states during the ‘covid’ debacle. The fascism and anti-science seemed to go hand in hand, to compliment each other somehow.

From governors and ‘health officials’ promoting unknown and experimental shots on the populace, shots that didn’t stop transmission of the engineered pathogen, shots that didn’t reduce severity of disease, shots that didn’t reduce deaths from ‘covid’, while simultaneously promoting highly-destructive and deadly riots (yes promoting), these three Democrat States are (still) the biggest losers of the pandemic.

The states that did not employ anti-science and fascistic tactics like bullying their populace to shoot unknown shots, like shutting down schools and masking their children, like putting 2,000 hard-working small business owners out of business, fared just as well, in terms of infection/infection severity/death numbers.

And those states avoided more childhood trauma than our west coast Democrat states. They didn’t lose retail like we have. They didn’t lose their downtowns like we did in Portland, L.A., and Seattle.

If you want more Big Pharma propaganda and Big Tech-tyranny, more needless school-closures and destruction of our children’s well-being, if you want to get rid of the street economy/retail in favor of Big Tech delivery, if you want another trillion dollars of our tax dollars going to the billionaires at Pfizer and Bill Gates’ ModeRNA, you can soon go here for instructions:

www.koin.com/news/health/oregon-california-and-washington-announce-formation-of-new-health-alliance/

If you want a wide-range of opinions, do your own research; what we used to call ‘going to the library’.

Only a fascist will tell you not to do your own research and to only trust them. (Fauci, Gates, west coast governors)

Here is one example of looking at a wide range of opinions:

The epidemiologist linked herein has a very different view of the ‘covid’ shots and the engineered virus than Pfizer/CNN/Kotek. He talks about things nobody in the soon-to-be so-called ‘health alliance’ will ever discuss.

Here are some quotes re: those ‘covid’ mRNA-shots that Big Pharma has yet to stop pushing:

“This is a synthetic gene-transfer platform.”

“The ‘cascade of harms’ has now been uncovered…”

“There is now genomic-integration happening.” 



“…you have your own body reproducing non-human proteins. That’s basically the definition of inducing auto-immune disease.”

“…those who got the vaccine and then got the infection were much worse off than those who just got the infection.”

It’s the spike proteins folks, from the shots AND the engineered SARS-CoV-2.

Fertility risk convo starts @42:00. It isn’t easy:

“Africa didn’t take any mRNA shots, thankfully…they had the best covid outcomes, they had the lowest covid deaths, they’re not getting turbo cancers, they’re having babies…they’re having a great time because they were not inoculated with synthetic gene platforms.”

rumble.com/v6yehm0-covid-vaccine-horror-fertility-destroyed-and-dna-altered-nicolas-hulscher-m.html?e9s=src_v1_sa%2Csrc_v1_sa_o%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a

Recommendations for busting up the spike proteins from the mRNA shots AND the engineered pathogen include Bromelain, curcumin (in turmeric) and natokinasse.

Recommendations for keeping the immune system functioning well include Vitamin ‘D’ (lots of sun and no shots are why Africa has best ‘covid’ outcomes), zinc, quercetin.

All of the above are available at Natural Grocers in Warrenton.

I just heard from a friend in New Mexico about her experience as a 69-year-old trying to get a shot at her local Walgreens.

She had just gotten her yearly wellness exam and insisted that her physician write a prescription for the Covid jab. The doc of course was not prepared to do this because it’s not previously been needed, but did SIGN a covid info sheet in lieu of a prescription.

In line at Walgreens were many people waiting to get the jab. Most were turned away because of staff confusion about eligibility. One of the staff members seemed to think you could only get the jab if you have respiratory issues.

My friend was able to get the shot based only on the doctor-signed info sheet and a lot of determination.

So beware, RFK Jr and his merry band of eugenicists are following the Steve Bannon dictum of “flood the field with #@%^ when it come to Covid vaccinations. Get a prescription and ramp up your determination to get what you want

I wanted to acknowledge a very quick response i recently from the City of Manzanita. I contacted Rick Remper with a request to see if there was a possibility of reducing the lighting on the old fire/police station on 5th St. since it was no longer operating as the police station. I got a response from Mr. Remper the next day saying he would check in with Erik Harth to see what might be done. A few days later i got a followup email saying they were able to redirect the lights facing Dorcas Lane and to report on the lighting.. I responded that the other lights on 5th were the ones that were really bright. A few nights later i was on the upper deck enjoying a beautiful Manzanita evening and noticed a significant difference, the lighting had been reduced!
I found out that the sides of the lights were painted over so the lighting only pointed straight down.
I appreciate the results and the VERY quick responses from both of these individuals.
Manzanita!

Did anyone catch the story this morning on local station Fox12 about younger politicians reported by Camila DeChalus? This is very encouraging to me and I hope signals a real game change. Unfortunately I cannot find the story on their website or I would provide a link. Maybe they’ll put it up later, or at least they’re likely to repeat the story on TV in subsequent newscasts.

Western Oregon (north coast, Willamette Valley) is a hotbed for aerial-spraying and other climate-engineering activities. The aeria- spraying is done by DARPA. 



Not a fan of ICE? Trust me, look at DARPA (what you can find, much of what they do is in secret) and you will hate that agency even more. And they target everyone, not just folks living here unlawfully.

Perhaps Oregon Democrats can get off their partisan horses for just one moment and support this critical environmental legislation being proposed by a Congressional Republican? So far, not one democrat in Oregon government will even speak of the geo-engineering being done by the Drumf Admin, and Biden before that.

What could the motivation behind this bill be other than a clean environment, as God intended?

Hitting the headlines today is a story on hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio and his association of wealth disparity to autocracy. Headlines also say he predicted the 2008 financial crisis, lending credibility to his opinions. Many headlines have a sensationalist tone. The Guardian is more reserved with “Rising inequality is turning US into an autocratic state, billionaire warns” and their article is an interesting read. Note: Dalio is apparently promoting his new book. I still think his point is correct and that it may be useful to review how FDR guided recovery from the wealth disparity of his time. (-Dave)

Howdy!
We are so grateful for the fantastic turnout to our garage sale to benefit the North County Food Bank. We raised $1,270 to be used where most needed by the Food Bank.

To the many generous people who took home treasures and paid just a wee bit extra, and to those who dropped a little something in the donation jar even if you didn’t find treasure – many thanks!

We also owe thanks to Bob, who organized the hardest part for us (the very messy garage), and to Erika, Jan, Jenny, Rob and Wendy who answered the call for tables to borrow. You embody the spirit of a sharing community.

And last, we sit in gratitude to the BBQ for supporting the North Coast’s communication needs for so many years!!

We couldn’t do without (any of) you.

After Governor Kotek was absent on the gas tax debate for 6-months during the 2025 Legislative Session (she only got involved in the final few days), she then made up for her mistake by punishing lawmakers by calling a Special Emergency Legislative Session for Labor Day weekend — often the fourht most traveled holiday. Lawmakers, lawmaker staff, Capitol staff and citizens who cared about this issued had to cancel their plans to make room for Kotek.

Yet, Kotek did not even show up to her own hearing on her gas tax plan on Sunday.

Not only did she not show up, but the Democrat controlled House and Senate could not even muster the votes to begin the Legislature on time over the past few days. People showed up for hearings that were never held. As we previously explained this was unfair not only to us but also to the those who supported the gas tax:

This angered the unions for whom hundreds of government union jobs are at stake and for which they are the top supporters of the big tax increase, The Oregonian reports, ” Jason Lawrence, an employee and union leader at the Oregon Department of Transportation. “And I don’t think it’s too damn much to ask these people who run for office to represent us and call themselves public servants to just show up.”. The Statesman Journal reported further union anger, “People took the day off to come and testify and tell their story,” said SEIU executive director Melissa Unger. Unger said one worker from Ontario drove to Salem to testify.”

Last week, the Taxpayers Association calculated that of the 2,000+ submitted testimonies on the gas tax in the State Capitol, 93% were opposed to the new tax.

Dear Folks,

We had three types of attendees at the PROTEST this past Saturday. First, there were people who have been joining us for weeks or months, showing ongoing commitment. Second, new local residents came for the first time and shared their enthusiasm to return for future events. Third, we welcomed holiday visitors and second homeowners who discovered our PROTEST and decided to join us. Together, we make up the North County Resistance, and our numbers have steadily grown throughout the summer.

Your voice is important, and every participant makes a difference. If you’re interested in joining us or learning more about our cause, please reach out—we welcome everyone who shares our concerns about the direction our government is heading. While we may not always agree on every issue, we are united by our shared worries and our desire for positive change.

Organizing an event on Highway 101 is always a challenge, and we learn new things each time. Safety is a top priority, and for our next PROTEST in Manzanita, we will introduce new rules and guidelines to help keep everyone safe.

For those planning to attend our next event, we will be back in Nehalem this coming week: September 6th, noon to 2 PM, in the city parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Please use the city lot for parking, bring signs or banners to help share our message, and dress appropriately for the weather. If you would like to receive updates about future protests, changes due to weather, or other important details, simply reply to this email.

Some have asked what we’ll do if the weather turns bad. Our concerns about government actions don’t disappear just because it’s raining—so I plan to be there regardless of the forecast, unless there’s a flood in the parking lot!

Thank you to everyone who joins us in person and to those who send notes of support. If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, let me know and I will do my best. There’s still one address I’m trying to delete, but I won’t give up.

Happy Labor Day.

Best,

Patty

The current president is skillful at appropriating the media to control the national narrative. He is not however the architect of the administration’s current policies. He has neither the knowledge nor the experience to develop such actions. Those who do have a symbiotic relationship with the mouthpiece who cons the public into believing it’s good policy. In reality it’s all driven by greed. Below links a good article explaining one example, and I think it provides hope we’ll wake up and notice. (-Dave)

I like to put light on nasty stuff so it goes away. Shine a light on roaches and they will scatter. Lift a board that is laying on the ground during the day and watch the nocturnal insects scatter from the light.

I do this only to reduce suffering in the world.

It’s hard to look at nasty stuff, as the Good Germans showed us. They were so horrified with the stories of Auschwitz and the like that they refused to believe such horrible things were happening. And because not enough Germans were willing or brave enough or smart enough to shine a light on the atrocities, the horrible things the Nazis were doing continued.

I had been told the Rothschild’s (‘Red Shields’ from the 1600’s) propped up Hitler and the Nazis. I was also told the Rothschilds are Jewish. Why then would the Rothschilds support the Nazis?

I was also told that the AshkanNAZI jews have no problem exterminating non-AshkaNAZI jews, along with everyone else.

So I asked the A.I. in my browser, just now, if the Rothschilds were AshkaNAZI jews. (In the process, I learned that is where the word Nazi came from):

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family

Are the AshkaNAZI jews behind Netanyahu and the genocide in Gaza? Are they behind Epstein and the blackmail of so many American politicians? Are they behind Greater Israel Project and all of the associated wars?

Not all Jews in Israel support the genocide currently being supported by anti-MAGA Drumf, and anti-MAGA Biden before him. Is the line in Israel drawn by the Ashkanazis?

Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have invested in this company (link below), which is a ‘competitor’ of Elon (They are actually all intelligence assets and friends) and his Nurolink.

Intelligence assets? Amazon has a 500-million dollar data storage deal with the CIA, Microsoft powers much of the military software Israel uses to bomb children in Gaza and Drumf is using to bomb Africa and Russia/Ukraine, etc etc etc, there is more.

What??? You didn’t know Drumf was bombing Africa? Well here then:

rumble.com/v6yaqky-trump-breaks-his-own-record-for-bombing-africa.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Back to: the nanotech from this company comes in the form of shots. Nanotech can also be put into – or snuck into – our bodies by these genocidal freaks via food, dental floss, vaccines, aerial spraying and more.

DNA-specific bioweapons also exist, and if you got that deep-nasal test for ‘covid’ or if you used 23 and Me, Gates and Fauci and Elon and Drumf and the CIA now have your DNA.

“In 2022, the CDC tweeted that for individuals who took a COVID-19 nasal swab PCR test, there was a 10% chance the swab ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis.” That is a lie, Fauci’s CDC kept ALL of the nasal swabs with our DNA, per a second tweet.

‘Covid’, the trillion-dollar scam/bio-attack from the DOD and Gates and Pfizer was a beta-test for this sort of medical mind-control – medical tyranny it’s called – and boy did it work!

Round two – what Bill Gates and Warren Buffet call ’pandemic number two’ – looks to be super nasty, and likely will feature lots of nanotech and AI as the ‘solution’, and the engineered pathogens they release on us will likely have a much higher death rate.

Watch the promo video herein and you will see a disabled guy working a computer with his mind. Then imagine what Hitler or Mao or Bill Gates or Elon or Bezos or Drumf or Newsom might do with this technology, if they can get the tech into our bodies without us knowing.

Again, nanotech can also be put into – or snuck into – our bodies by these genocidal freaks via food, dental floss, vaccines, aerial spraying and more.

This is a promo video out of SiliCON valley for investors and prospective employees, not some whacked conspiracy video:

Gates ran the ‘exercise’ below at Johns Hopkins, with the DOD/CIA/Pharma, etc.

They used the ‘exercise’ to get their upcoming trillion-dollar tyranny in order. This was done in October of 2019!!!!!!!!!

“The Event 201 scenario
Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.”

Sounds almost prophetic! But there was no prophecy, just a bunch of evil and well-organized psychopaths.

Once again, this exercise was done in OCTOBER, 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay healthy! Be smart! Don’t let these genocidal freaks victimize you and yours any further!

BONUS!

From left-leaning VICE of all places! This is the origin of Epstein’s blackmail of our useless/soulless politicians, bankers, scientists. And after reading this you will also understand why the IDF murderers and others are very much okay with their country committing genocide of non-Jews, blackmailing non-Jews, and intentionally targeting children in Gaza.

Drumf’s pal Netanyahu is one of these ultra-orthodox Jews, fyi:

HB3991 2025 1st Special Session – Oregon Legislative Information System

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post

Now that the City Hall facility has been completed, it appears that the actual total project cost will be obscured with descriptions by City officials intent on avoiding telling us what it actually cost us. For example, the City Manager recently described completion of the project in terms of “construction costs” that came in under $800 per square foot. This description provides a narrow picture of the cost for building the facility by omitting project costs not paid directly by the General Contractor.

If City officials want to highlight their fiscal wisdom in how they delivered this project by framing it in terms of its “construction costs” we should remind them that the failed 2019 City Hall Bond measure would have resulted in a facility with “construction costs” under $550 per square foot. What exactly should we be thankful for with this announcement?

For a public facility, the project cost encompasses all expenses associated with planning, designing, constructing, and equipping the facility, as well as any associated costs like land acquisition, demolition costs, financing, and staff administrative overhead. It’s the total sum needed to bring the project to completion and make it operational. The City Hall project cost did not start with the groundbreaking ceremony in April 2024 but rather began with the purchase of the Underhill property and ended with a ribbon cutting.

Citizens are not interested in the bureaucratic parsing of select project cost categories that provide an incomplete picture of what we just purchased. We want to know what the total project cost is including the as of yet unknown debt costs for a project that was built and financed without a vote and substantially paid for with borrowed money.

Pay attention to how City officials present and approve the project close out report, particularly the debt servicing agreement with the State to pay for the loan for this project out of the General Fund. Our General Fund already has an unhealthy reliance on short term rental revenue and this Council yet again through this decision has ensured that we have mortgaged our community livability by further increasing the number of short term rentals for the next 20 years to pay off this new debt obligation.

Successful fleecing requires clever messaging to distort or present select information in order to avoid disclosing those facts that our City officials would prefer not to make known. The City plans to provide an accounting of the City Hall project cost at their September Council meeting. We deserve a full and accurate accounting of the actual cost, not partial project cost soundbites.

Please join the North County Resistance in a PEACEFUL PROTEST this coming Saturday, August 30 at noon in Manzanita along Highway 101 on Laneda and Manzanita Avenues. We intend to PROTEST from noon to 2 PM. Our country needs all of us to speak up, and by coming together, we can show our elected officials that our community is committed to a better direction.

This peaceful protest aims to address recent legislative proposals that threaten voting rights, birthright citizenship, and government transparency, including the proposed Voter ID bill and recent changes to absentee ballot procedures, as well as efforts to limit access to public records. By gathering, we hope to raise awareness and demand action on these critical issues that directly affect our community’s future. As laws and policies put long-standing protections at risk, our unity and resolve in Manzanita stand as a powerful statement for justice and equality.

For your safety, please always remain on the west side of Highway 101 behind the barricade. If you need to cross, use the designated crosswalk near Manzanita Lumber Yard and Big Wave. Volunteers will be there to help you cross safely. Follow directions from our volunteers in orange vests—they are available to help with any questions or concerns. Do not cross the street outside the crosswalk and avoid entering the highway for any reason. If anyone tries to engage negatively, simply walk away and seek help from a volunteer. Our priority is a peaceful, respectful demonstration for all.

Please remember not to park in local business lots around the protest area; these are reserved for customers. Parking is available along Laneda or Manzanita Avenues (without blocking driveways) and at the new City Hall on Manzanita Avenue.

Prepare for changing weather by dressing in layers and bringing water, a chair if needed, and your protest signs (or borrow one of ours). Most importantly, bring your positive spirit and commitment to our shared values.

Just as we stand together for justice and equality in our protest, we also unite to support neighbors in need through our ongoing partnership with the North County Food Bank. We continue to support the North County Food Bank in Wheeler with your generous donations. Each Tuesday, the food and funds collected are delivered, making a meaningful difference for neighbors in need. Last week was a record breaker for food collected, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and support of this community treasure. In future updates, we look forward to sharing stories from food bank recipients and volunteers, connecting us all more closely with the impact of our efforts. To stay up to date with their story, please visit their website: www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org

We are organizing a peaceful and respectful protest to express our concerns about current government policies while ensuring everyone’s safety. Wow, what a crowd—the largest one we’ve had in Nehalem this past weekend: 35 people! It’s encouraging to see more people joining us as we share our concerns. The North County Resistance (NCR) is dedicated to protecting individual freedoms and promoting transparent governance in our community. Many in our community feel that recent government actions limit our freedoms, and we want our voices to be heard. Please consider stepping up to support the NCR by joining our protest this coming Saturday, September 30, from noon to 2 PM by Manzanita. The protest location will be on Hwy. 101 at the top of both Laneda and Manzanita Avenues.

Please do not park in the business parking lots in the surrounding areas, as you may be asked to move. If you need a ride, please contact us—we’re happy to help you get to the protest. The weather may be cool, so please dress in layers for comfort. Bring your water, chairs, and signs, or anything else you need to feel comfortable.

Since we will be along Highway 101, everyone’s safety is our priority. We will have a barrier up and ask that you do not cross it onto Highway 101. If you need to cross the street by the lumberyard, someone will be at the crosswalk to help you do so safely. If you encounter any problems, please look for someone wearing an orange vest—they are there to assist you. This is a peaceful rally, and we do not engage with those who try to disrupt our event. Respectful conduct is essential to ensure the safety and unity of our group.

We are also continuing to collect donations for the North County Food Bank. There have been questions about the food bank closing, so please visit their website for current information. The food bank is not closing permanently, and our continued support is important. You can reach them at: Northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org

Your participation in these protests shows others in our community that we value democracy and want to see positive changes in how our country is governed. Thank you for standing with us.

Exuberant group of protesters in Nehalem this afternoon. We enjoyed music, swung flags, signs and were happy to hear supporting horns, thank yous, etc. Folks were creative with their signs, which touched on many abuses by current president and his enablers: Release Epstein Files, Due Process for All, Racism is Bad, etc.

Ron Wyden, our Israel-first anti-American senator has accepted 1.2 million dollars of campaign funds from Israel-first orgs, the bulk of it from the fiercely genocidal AIPAC.

No wonder he does NOTHING to stop the genocide in Gaza! Wyden supports Israel over America, and genocide over peace, love and humanity. He is the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee for god’s sake. He probably knew Oct. 7th was going to happen a month before it did.

(4,000 exploding pagers into the hands of Hezbollah in Lebanon? Don’t tell me the Mossad doesn’t control Hamas as well!)

Genocide-supporting Wyden needs to get the hell out of America and Oregon.

Bonamici: took $70,000 from Israel first orgs. Not 1.2 million, but why take money from a genocidal state? She is compromised by Israel. Someone ask her to pledge not to take any more Israel money??? If she says no, let’s get rid of her on those grounds.

Jeff Merkely: he protected Israel and the CIA when he lied to a child’s face, whom I know, about how many buildings fell on 9/11 (there were three, he told a child at a meet and greet that two buildings fell, and he was immediately corrected by the 11-year old “I have a fun fact for you. Three buildings fell on 9/11” haha! Nice job kiddo! Then Merkely cringed and turned his back on her. He certainly didn’t try to correct her!)

So Jeff will sell his soul for Israel and war, but so far he has taken ZERO DOLLARS from Israel-first orgs! Nice move Jeff, even if it’s just a calculated political move!

Here are the top 20 treasonous Democrats supporting Israeli genocide over American’s well-being. Wyden is one of them:

In New York, it’s getting to the point that if you take money from Israel, your career is over:

“AIPAC Operative Elise Stefanik Driven From The Stage By Continuous Chants Of Traitor”

(she is a NY GOP Israel-firster, fyi)

Let’s heckle the hell out of genocide-supporting Wyden at his town halls. Then let’s VOTE Wyden and Bonamici OUT OF OFFICE for supporting a genocidal country over the American people!

Israeli Mossad agent Jeffry Epstein’s girlfriend Ghilslane Maxwell, the anti-American pedophile whom Drumf will pardon, is the daughter of now dead Robert Maxwell, a British national, and Israel’s number one Mossad agent when he was alive. He was buried with state honors in Israel, because like many prominent jews, his allegiance was to Israel, not Britain, the country in which he resided.

And look here, turns out Israel and the Mossad were creating public school textbooks to control the perception of Israel in the minds of American youth! And you thought you were taught the REAL history of Israel!

Read ‘The Mossad was involved….’ in place of ‘Robert Maxwell’.

“Robert Maxwell was involved in the publication of school textbooks through a joint venture. In 1989, he formed a partnership with McGraw-Hill, creating Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing Co., which became the second-largest textbook publisher in the United States at the time. This venture combined Maxwell’s Macmillan Inc. with McGraw-Hill’s educational publishing holdings, producing materials for elementary, secondary, and vocational education. However, Maxwell died in 1991….”

It doesn’t say how he died, but he ‘fell on his yacht’ don’t ya know! Doh! Always good to watch yer step when ur in the genocide biz!

The post-WW2 experiment known as the state of Israel needs to end; it’s a genocidal failure, and even our pols in Oregon are getting sucked into the evil.
