Jeffrey Epstein Advised an Elon Musk Associate on Taking Tesla Private The financier recommended adding Margaret Thatcher to Tesla’s board, even though she had been dead for five years.

A Tesla spokesperson denied rumors that Epstein was consulting them on the issue in 2019, but new records put that denial into question. www.wired.com/story/jeffre...

“Thomas indicated that Epstein had played an important role in setting up the Musk interview, telling the financier that ‘the Elon get was epic,’ adding, ‘You delivered!’”

1903 antisemitism was anti-immigration too:

“Moische Pisch traded in Tarnopol w discarded clothes|as Moritz Wasserstrahl he moved to Poznan & traded w Parisian fashion goods|now he lives as Maurice Lafontaine in Berlin where he has founded a new art movement & deals w discarded Parisian fashion”

Again, this is about immigrant Jewish communities in Germany. Panic over post-war immigration from the east was a fundamental aspect of Nazi antisemitism.

“When they have enough money, they take off their dirty rags, shave their beards, run away from all this and dress up in modern suits & step about as if they were non-Jews.”

Same picture as above

“Finally they open little stores. They work together with thieves & robbers. Stolen goods go to the Jews & they sell them again. They make a lot of money that way…”

“Naturally Fritz understood at once. But he still couldn't grasp it. Just look at those guys! Those dreadful Jew noses! Those beards full of lice”
[…]
“They are criminals of the worst kind. They lie and cheat, they steal and receive stolen goods. So much nastiness could scare you!”

This Nazi-era children’s book could’ve been written by Nick Shirley:

“Now, pay attention, Fritz! The Jews we see over there, they come from Galicia or Poland. And because their home is east of Germany, they are called Eastern Jews. Do you get it?"

An image of a group of 11 religious Jews walking toward the camera Caption: In Berlin and Vienna, during and after the war, an army of more than 600,000 foreign-racial Eastern European Jews marched in without resistance or fighting, increasing the existing Jewish population by that number. Berlin did not become French, Vienna did not become Russian, but both became Jewish.

“Invasion!”

Yärlich 13 jüden! immigrated to Germany from Eastern Europe between 1910 and 1925. Through racial-historical liberalism and Demokratiémism, Germany became a federal colony fo Jewish people in its twentieth year

“Anyone who is in favor of Jewish immigration wants to raise a Jewish army against Germany in their own homeland, in this case Germany, and rightly bears the title: traitor to the people and the state.”

Google lens translated image from a 1935 German book featuring a photo of traditionally dressed Jews beside a chart showing rising Jewish population in Berlin from 1774-1930 “The following figures are intended to prove unequivocally that Germany became a colonial land of the Eastern European Jews and Berlin the Jewish metropolis! The number of Jews in Berlin was:” A strange vision! In the midst of German life, an alienated, alien1•*¥{ foreign land. A human being on brandenberg soil, an alien port. This they live, in semi-voluntary shelter, not a native person far away live, in a semi vernally shefl, noed, le a naive person tan away, but a foreign organism in their life . Walther Nathenau, Imprefenem 1902

20th century antisemitism was inseparable from anti-immigrant panic & nearly indistinguishable from contemporary nationalist rhetoric

Pressuring landlords to hand over tenant records: Trump’s new strategy to track migrants US immigration authorities have begun demanding data through subpoenas that are not signed by any judge, presumably to locate undocumented individuals

Disgraceful. Without a judge's signature, landlords DO NOT have to comply with ICE subpoenas.

“This is likely to increase the already existing discrimination against tenants based on race and national origin”

Crows bullying a hawk :(

Exclusive: State and industry input led US farm agency to relax bird flu testing order for cows The U.S. Department of Agriculture weakened an emergency order last spring designed to prevent the spread of bird flu among the nation's dairy cattle after pushback from state and industry officials, according to state and federal records seen by Reuters.

"The early federal response to the U.S. bird flu outbreak was shaped in part by industry interests reluctant to cooperate with burdensome regulation...

The order remains the only national requirement to curb transmission of the virus."

Does the universe have it in store for us, or does Joe Biden?
