Trump recently passed EO called Additional Measures to Combat Antisemitism which orders the government to begin charging citizens for antisemitism.
It’s incredibly tyrannical because Section 3(c) gives the Marxist government the power to use 18 U.S.C. 241 which allows them to arrest you for saying things that may oppress or intimidate Jews.
The Attorney General is encouraged to employ appropriate civil-rights enforcement authorities, such as 18 U.S.C. 241, to combat anti-Semitism.
The legal definition of intimidation is an act that causes a person to be fearful or feel endangered. 18 U.S.C. 241 criminalizes speech between people that may cause a person to feel intimidated when exercising their civil rights without said person being present.
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same
But this EO is not about civil rights, it’s about anti-semitism and using this law to combat what the US perceives to be anti-Semitic. According to the Department of State, antisemitism is:
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to **blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms ** and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.
Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
Using this law to combat “antisemitism” is criminalizing speech that may offend a Jew even if the Jew is not present to hear you. It applies fines and up to ten years in jail.
Note, it also targets “disguises”.
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege
Per the EO, this outlaws any disguise or organized movement that may be deemed “antisemitic” or used to participate in activities that offends a Jew.
In the same section, the EO calls for institutions to report students so that they may be removed if they are aliens.
shall include in their reports recommendations for familiarizing institutions of higher education with the grounds for inadmissibility under 8 U.S. Code § 1182 so that such institutions may monitor for and report activities by alien students and staff relevant to those grounds and for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to investigations and, if warranted, actions to remove such aliens.
The law concerns aliens with a health risk or guilty of a crime (drug dealers, traffickers, committing misdemeanors and felonies, etc.) not the act of protesting or making a political statement. Yet the EO demands this law be used to “combat antisemitism”.
Considering that the US defines antisemitism as statements, images, and stereotypes about Jews, this EO effectively criminalizes speech and free assembly that they don’t like whereas previous antisemitism laws were modifiers of an existing crime.
Earlier today I saw a video of a Chinese taxi driver reporting tourists to the authorities because they said something that the CCP wouldn’t like. The driver claimed he was “fearful” because they asked him what he thought about the CCP. I wondered how long before we reach that point, seems I got my answer.
Merely insinuating that the banks are owned by one group or that there is a global cabal could be seen as antisemitic and thus, like the Chinese, you will be reported or arrested for saying the wrong things.
The question now is, will it be enforced?
It won't be enforced. This is typical Trump bluster -- a grand gesture that can't stand up in court. The bullshit he trotted out this week about foreign students being sent back home for expressing pro-Palestinian sentiments is a joke; perhaps he forgets that the first amendment still applies not only to citizens but to people visiting the United States as well.
But symbolically, it's more of the same push towards punishing anyone who disagrees with the ever-expanding American imperialist project -- a project whose crimes become all the more difficult to obfuscate in the digital when everything is documented, streamed and endlessly disseminated.
Unfortunately it looks like they have already begun arresting foreign students that side with Hamas

Starts with a person/group nobody wants to defend. I loathe the idea since all CCP loyalists should be deported anyway and I don’t care about the never ending dune wars. Still, I’m not naive enough to think the government will stop there.
What blows my mind is that the same group illegally arrested on J6 would be so quick to defend the criminalization of protests and free speech. Do these people realize that they’re only one leftist president away from a total crackdown on the “alt-right”?
Since Biden, more CCP style laws and mandates have been enacted. Must have to do with Burisma payouts?
