                                             September 29, 2021                
                                                                               
                                                                               
  AOC and fellow members of "the squad" went after                             
  some of the US funding for the Israeli "Iron Dome" project.                  
                                                                               
  She later switched her "No" vote to a whaffling "Present",                   
  visibly crying, while being comforted by Barbara Lee.                        
                                                                               
  She posted a long letter afterwards, which did not                           
  really explain any of this behavior.                                         
                                                                               
                                                                               
     The left-wing commentary on this is very                                  
     unhappy.  They claim to find it very baffling.                            
                                                                               
         (Right-wing commentary lives up                                       
         to the high standard they've set        And by the way, have you heard    
         for themselves in recent years:         that if you're critical of        
         "Crocodile tears!", "Drama queen!")     Israeli's military actions--    
                                                 and think the US should stop      
                                                 funding them-- you are         
                                                 obviously antisemitic?            
                                                                                   
                                                 There's been a pattern            
                                                 of trotting out the same          
                                                 old shit of late, and             
                                                 not just on the Israel        
                                                 issue... either the bad       
                                                 guys are dispirited and       
                                                 lazy, or their polling        
                                                 data shows there's no          
                                                 bullshit like old bullshit.    
   I am here to explain to you what is                                             
   obviously going on with this, albiet              Particularly egregious are  
   without any supporting evidence:                  the attempts at smearing      
                                                     the Islamic members of the 
   Ocasio-Cortez (and family, and                    squad as antisemitic.         
   friends) were credibly threatened by                                            
   a pro-Israel faction, e.g. Mossad (or                      Ilhan Omar           
   someone who did a good job of acting                       Rashida Tlaib        
   like they were something like Mossad).                                          
                                                            Working an ethnic  
       She hasn't come out and said it, but                 stereotype when       
       there are phrases that she keeps                     you want to accuse   
       interjecting that strongly suggest                   the other guys of  
       what's on her mind: "death threats",                 prejudice...          
       "dangerous vitriol", "hateful                                              
       targeting", "real sense of panic"...                                       
                                                                                  
   I think AOC is pretty upfront about what kind of                               
   person she is: she's genuinely idealistic and
   committed to the stances she's adopted, she's
   uninterested in money, and nearly incorruptible.
   She's not easy to pressure in any way--

   Except that-- as I think we've learned from
   the January 6th events-- she's somewhat
   fragile concerning physical threats.

   I have no way of knowing, of course, if
   there's been a broad threat like this to
   family and friends, but it's a common
   enough tactic among authoritatian
   regimes...  I would go as far as to say
   that going after family has been standard
   proceedure since recorded history began.


   The trick would be getting the message to
   her without it getting lost in the spew from
   the usual crazies, but I imagine that's a
   solvable problem if you've got the resources
   of the Israel government behind you.

   And another bit of standard proceedure is to threaten
   retaliation if you tell anyone about the threat.

   So there are two possible explanations for why AOC's
   explanations are oddly muted:

     (1) she's complying with the precise
         demands made on her.

     (2) she's gambled on reporting this to some
         investigation agency, and is keeping
         quiet while they work.

                     (Or while they say
                     they're working.)


  There you go.  You heard it here first, or you
  would have if anyone read this stuff.

  And you haven't heard any suggestions like this
  anywhere else, it's because no one Serious (not even
  the Cenk Unger/Krystal Ball level of Serious) wants to
  sound like one-of-them crazy "conspiracy theorists".

     Which is, of course, the way
     the real conspiracy likes it.

             "News for the Intelligent Paranoid".)
