Protest Drag Queen Story Hour met with Leftist chaos outside Queens Library

Dec 29, 2022 3 pm. Jackson Heights, Queens, NY

On Dec 29, the Leftist "Defenders of Drag Queens" behaved badly, ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians of Divinity while assaulting their cameras with horns and very shrill voices . It was business as usual.

The Guardians of Divinity, protested another Drag Queen Story Hour in Jackson Heights, Queens, where they were challenged by an aggressive band of leftists and antifa. ( organized by  UARFnyc : United Against Racism and Fascism)

The Leftist scum crowded the street and sidewalks , emboldened by the fact that  Jackson Heights is known as a gay enclave, they did as they pleased.

"In the 1920s, LGBT actors working in the 42nd Street theater scene decided to make their homes in Jackson Heights due to the lack of affordability of Manhattan neighborhoods and the easy accessibility of the 7 train. That was the beginning of what is now the second largest gay community in New York City." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Heights,_Queens]

Th Leftists, "DEFENDERS of Drag Queens", created confrontations by ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians and assaulting their photographers by blocking them, blasting them with horns while their shrieks and drums filled the air.

A view of the protesting Leftists...written by the Left at UNICORN RIOT. 

Their report is an over the top characterization of these "Defenders of Drag Queens." (Community 

Defenders  vs "Faces of Hate")

But, ignores the role the instigators play (like the instigator in green) who fed her bogus version of an exchange with a conservative reporter to the very willing lefty Unicorn Press. Her modus operandi is to create chaos,  claiming victim hood for the always eager reporters. (see video)

Along with twitter reporter "Talia Jane", wiki has predictably published the "Faces of Hate" labels and fictitious stories as fact. Never reports that the DQSHs encourage  a new breed of children who look at sex and gender as FLUID. Also, this bloody street-theatre piece was brought to the children as they passed by. Anything is OKAY, even the occasionally naked Crackhead Barney, except protecting the children from this unnecessary indoctrination,.

Ignoring the rights of PARENTS. People. Families to object to Drag Queen indoctrination. Dismissing their opposition as HATEFUL.  Bagel Karen with her two young children passed by the obscene Crackhead Barney with her friend Daniel Christmann. She seemed to have no issue with this relentless sexualization of children.  (see video)

 

.As for the rest of the videos from Dec 29 - these cultural Marxists Queens are rude, crude and very gay.

Perhaps accounting for the clownish behavior of these 'defenders', who also did not hesitate to accost the peaceful protestors, forcing the NYPD to focus mostly on the chaotic  'defenders of drags'.

Videos: Part 1-[:06] relentless (obnoxious) screaming  (and drums) from the leftist crowd as police attempt to clear stragglers out of the street and back behind the barricades. Councilwoman Cruz is seen watching the action from the lefty pen. NYPD hasn't closed the street to traffic ( yet) so cars are being allowed to pass thru slowly, as a Drag Queen Story Hour protestors call out the lefties as 'disgusting pedophiles'. Children are watching from the upper level of the library as both sides yell at each other. [end 1:51]

Part 2 -[0:11] Drag Story Hour protestors are holding signs and chanting "Hey Hey Ho Ho , pedophiles have got to go" Another guy yells at the lefties, You are disgusting pedophiles, every one of you.". Are lefty marches thru the Guardians protest with a snarky sign, ""This is the ass-hole meet up" . The streets are packed with the lefties. Ignoring the police as always while more lefties (dressed as Satan) cross in to the Guardians space. Blasting horns. Blocking cameras. yelling in the faces. This goes on for quite awhile til the police finally send the lefties back across the street. A lefty pink unicorn character danced in front of the lefties - for their amusement. Til finally every one was cleared from the street so a city bus could pass  through. [3:05]

Part 3 - [0:08] The Guardians shouted towards the library, "Let Kids the Kids" while the lefties continued to leave their 'pens' to cross over . A Guardian held a sign that said, "Stop Confusing kids" . The Leftists made much about the Proud Boy flags that were seen on the Guardians protest area. They were there as protection, but never did anything more than stand around with their flags and signs. The noise level from the leftists continued to be very loud (surely making it difficult to concentrate for anyone inside the library) [1:08]

Part 4 - [0:04]  I passed by former New York educator,Joy Newball, talking to a man who seemed to be with the "protectors" about WHY the Drag Hours and the books they are reading should be of concern.The street was full of officers at this point, but that didn't stop the instigator woman-in-green from leading an assault on a Guardian photographer. ( and the NYPD now seemed to be no where in sight) "Where is the NYPD!" The lefties LOVE to make noise with colorful hand fans -while  shouting thru face masks, It difficult to understand them. Just NOISE. Assemblywoman Cruz seemed to be co-ordinating the police as a familiar lefty, who always wears a The Resistance Company mask,  marched in the street yelling, "Fuck you, Nazis"[1:43]

Part 5 - [0:06] No traffic . Street was now closed, jammed with police, protestors and photographers. With the lefties going where ever they pleased, someone ripped the "Stop Drag Queen Story Hour" and ran into the street. (the Guardian retrieved the pieces and taped it together) 

 

And AGAIN the instigator-in-green (1:06 in video) arrived to create more confrontations. (composite exposed some of the many confrontations she created)

Placing many police in the center of the street ... attempting to keep sides separated, I guess [1:40]

Part 6 - [0:04]The Neo-Nazi who marched in to the protest was a known  press-hungry interloper, escorted by the obnoxious fraud,  Jovi Val. They had no part in the Guardians protest, not invited, not wanted and were finally removed by the NYPD. But, of course, the press couldn't get enough of them. (it was difficult to get a good view due to the GLUT of photographers)  The Lefty reporters love to ignor ethe FACT that all acts of aggression came from the LEFT: the uncontrollable, pepper-spraying - fire-starting - LEFT. [1:24]

.The media loved Councilman Erik Bottcher's lies (the current press meme from Dec 19) slandering the  Guardians Of Divinity as Faces of Hate.  

The councilman (press shot from Dec 19th) and his sycophant press ignored the honest concerns of the Guardians : "Save the Children and Let Kids be Kids."

 

Instead, anyone protesting these Story Hours are labeled racists, bigots and homophobes aka Faces of Hate.

After 5 years of unopposed Story Hours around the country, these cultural Marxists, these social constructionists, are shocked by  any opposition to what they "claim to be innocent" story books. (The books read are rarely if ever revealed.) But, "Bella Noche" was happy to share that he read this book outside the library- on the street- to the children. (this day he was not in drag- see his web site post below of Bella's drag persona)

 

 

.FLICKR Part 2 of 2 shows the Guardians of Divinity and the Proud Boys (who joined them as security) peacefully holding signs while the NYPD tried to control the socialist/communist/fascisti 'defenders"as they made the streets unpassable and assaulted the Guardians of Divinity.

 .Flickr Part 1 of 2  Opposing their peaceful protest was the hateful soc/commie/ fascisti. They required constant attention as NYPD attempted to control them. The antifa scum claim to be about 'love' while displaying the opposite by ripping up signs, fouling the streets with fake blood - blocking cars and busses as children watch from inside the library.

 

Local politicians were there supporting the leftists You can spot more than one, But Catalina Cruz is the only one whom I recognized. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Cruz] Assembly District 39 - live in Jackson Heights]

.Next, what follows, is an excerpt from a long, informative article on the history and intentions of these Drag Story Hours. [https://www.city-journal.org/the-real-story-behind-drag-queen-story-hour]

"Harris Kornstein—stage name Lil Miss Hot Mess—who hosted 

some of the original readings in public libraries and wrote the children’s book The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish. Kornstein sits on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour, the nonprofit organization that was founded by Michelle Tea in 2015 to promote “family-friendly” drag performances and has since expanded to 40 local chapters that have organized hundreds of performances across the United States.

(Kornstein also published the manifesto for the movement, “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” with coauthor Harper Keenan, a female-to-male transgender queer theorist at the University of British Columbia.[ ... ] the authors propose a new teaching method, “drag pedagogy,” as a way of stimulating the “queer imagination,” teaching kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.” )

The books selected in many Drag Queen Story Hour performances—Cinderelliot, If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It, The Gender Wheel, Bye Bye, Binary, and They, She, He, Easy as ABC—promote this basic narrative. Though Drag Queen Story Hour events are often billed as “family-friendly,”  ....  DQSH is ‘family friendly’ in the sense of ‘family’ as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.”  .... the goal is not to reinforce the biological family but to facilitate the child’s transition into the ideological family.( ....)  .... the queer pedagogist Hannah Dyer has written, queer pedagogy and, by extension, drag pedagogy seek to expose the very concept of “childhood innocence” as an oppressive hetero-patriarchal illusion.

The purpose is to subvert the system of hetero-normativity, which includes childhood innocence, and re-engineer childhood sexuality from the ground up. "

To Recap: The Guardians of Divinity protested another Drag Queen Story Hour  in Jackson Heights (Queens) where they were accosted by an aggressive band of leftists, marxists, progs and antifa (Leeroy Press was there as they pepper sprayed two Guardians of Divinity as they were leaving) 

The leftists agitators ripped signs, pepper-sprayed non-violent Guardians and stood amongst them blocking their cameras while using horns and very shrill voices to add to the chaos.

.The NYPD would occasionally corral the leftists and then lose control of them, again. The many difficulties the police dealt with were caused by the "Defenders of Drag Queens ". Eventually the police had to close the street to traffic (and the city busses).

A simple construct of  Good vs Evil.

The soc/commie/progs - the politicians - the cultural marxists - are unwilling to admit that libraries and schools are inappropriate Drag Queen venues (mostly paid for with public funds). They call the shots. So will these protests ever make a difference? Can this relentless grooming of children be stopped? Is it too late?

Council members look to increase funding for Drag Story Hour, refuse to cower to far-right protesters [https://www.amny.com/politics/council-members-look-to-increase-funding-for-drag-story-hour-refuse-to-cower-to-far-right-protesters/#.Y-FpXlvy7Rg.twitter]

 The answer is simple,
If you want to Save the Children
Never Give Up. Never Give In.

NYC Israeli ex-pats protest P.M. Netanyahu's threat to Israeli Democracy

 January 28, 2023. Washington Sq. - Noon.  SAVING Israeli Democracy

"Demonstrating for the establishment of a real democracy in Israel! Help us support the demonstrating masses in Israel, who call for human, civil and political rights for all, and maintaining the democratic institutions because democracy does not stop only at elections." [From Face Book ]

Hosted by @UnxeptableD, protesting the re-election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister. (he  previously served more than 15 years as Israel's P.M.)

• Israeli democracy is in danger
• The people of Israel ask Netanyahu to step down
• (Because) they are the Voices of Hope

Short Video:

Flickr Slide show:

Their signs consistently complained that Netanyahu's Far Right Government threatened peace and democracy in Israel.

Looking for more information, I googled " Why is Netanyahu a threat to democracy" .  Amongst many other links on this topic, NPR popped up at the top:

Israel's new government is the most right-wing government in the country's history. In order to regain his position as prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was sworn into office Dec. 29, entered into a coalition with ultra-Orthodox religious parties and ultra-nationalist parties.

One issue at the forefront is the definition of who is Jewish.

 "One possibility is that they will change educational programs in schools so that they will reflect very narrow definitions of Jewishness and Jewish identity." Currently, anyone who is a child or a grandchild of a Jewish person – and their spouses - can immigrate to Israel, but some members of the new government want to change that."

Those gathered will meet again, Feb 5, at 11 am in Washington Square.

Peace Action Leftists Nuclear Ban Rally at NYC Library

January 20, 2023 - Noon- a protest on the steps of the well known, Fifth Ave NYC Library.

Statement from Peace Action NYC :

"We will gather to celebrate the second anniversary of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and then march to the U.S. Mission (1st Ave & 45th St) to deliver the message that the U.S. must join the Treaty"

They also stated, "It's been quite a year for Peace Action New York State! From advocating for peace in Yemen and Ukraine, to holding our leaders accountable for our nation’s excessive military spending, our growing network is organizing a strong and impactful peace movement across New York State!" https://www.icanw.org/

Flickr slide show:  As members of the Peace Action NYC, The Raging Grannies sang a bunch of protest songs, holding banners and signs, as a couple of speakers followed on the steps of the Main NYC Library.

VIDEO: The speaker is Seth Sheldon, he serves as the United Nations Liaison for ICAN in New York, but continues to teach and practice law, and to perform in music and arts.

 

Excerpted speech re the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty,

"... what we are celebrating ...  if you don't know about the U.N. Treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, you are to be forgiven. In all of the media coverage on international war and brewing dangers we have not seen much mentioned that the only realistic solution for nuclear weapons - nuclear weapons which pose the greatest existential threat to humanity - including for posing the most acute existential threat to our climate (and global food supply) The solution is the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. [... ] It is the first and only global treaty that categorically prohibits ... everything to do with nuclear weapons; also providing a framework for their total elimination.

It is historic ... in seeking to prevent future harm, but to to address past harm. [...] If you don't know about it, why do you think that is. [...] True experts on international security, science and health care calculate that the the (... ) policies have slept walked humanity into the highest risk ever ... higher that at the height of the cold war. And it will get worse quickly, without a major shift. That shift is this treaty, the treaty on the prohibition on nuclear weapons. It is our best hope. Our only hope."

.(the video continues ... with claims of nuclear racism) NYrs find a way to support this treaty....after all it was here where nuclear weapons began. (...) and many NY communities, primarily in  black and brown and under served NYC communities continue to suffer from the radio active legacy of that program  ... many NYrs not knowing this. [...] many do not know that NYC, prior to 1980's legislation, was surrounded by Nuclear Missiles [... ] that made NYC more of a target [....] Thank you for your support ... (let's) see the rest of the world join is." [End Video]
