Death Con 3 and Kanye West's Anti-Semitism

 Nadene Goldfoot                                             


Death Con 3 is a phrase from US Armed Forces ready to deploy and engage in less than 6 hours;  an increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness.  This is what Kanye West said to his 31 million followers about Jews; how they were to be ready to attack Jews.  What on earth does this rapper have against Jews to elicit such a terrible threat?  Or direction?

Ye,  born Kanye Omari West on  June 8, 1977 is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential hip hop artists and producers and as one of the greatest musicians of his generation. (That is, if you like rap and hip-hop, which to this 88 year old author is not my 

type of music at all! )  My music is the Big Band Era with Benny Goodman, 

music such as String of Pearls, soft easy-going music  you can dance to in

someone's arms, and relax.  From 1942 to 2022, a distance of 80 years, and 

the community,  standards and era are so completely different.  

Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago as a Christian, West initially gained recognition as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing singles for several artists and developing the "chipmunk soul" sampling style. Intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, he released his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and commercial success. He founded the record label GOOD Music later that year.


What happened in 2022 causing this highly anti-Semitic call to arms against the Jews?   Possibly his marriage that ended in 2022 . He had been married to Kim Kardashian from 2014 to 2022.  

West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, though his diagnosis was not made public until his 2018 album Ye. Months after the album, he told President Donald Trump that it was a "misdiagnosis." He reportedly accepted the diagnosis again by 2019. In 2022, he again suggested that it was not the right diagnosis.

In a 2018 interview, West declared that he became addicted to opioids when they were prescribed to him after he got liposuction. The addiction may have contributed to his nervous breakdown in 2016. West said that he often has suicidal ideation.

On October 7, West appeared to suggest in a post on Instagram that the rapper Puff Daddy is controlled by Jews; in response, Instagram locked his account.  

On October 8, West tweeted he was "going death con 3" on Jewish people, prompting media attention. The tweet was widely criticized as antisemitic, causing West to lose access to his Twitter account. Prior to posting the controversial tweet, he had posted an image of himself with Mark Zuckerberg on his Twitter, criticizing Zuckerberg for "kick[ing] him off Instagram".

An anti-Semitic comment like this from a famous rapper has caused the neo-Nazis to add to his voice.  

A few days after these comments, on October 22, the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League protested in Los Angeles, hanging a banner that read "Kanye is right about the Jews" above a highway overpass while giving Nazi salutes. The demonstration was widely condemned by Jewish advocacy groups and politicians, some of whom urged West's sponsor, Adidas, to cut ties with him. Jeffrey Abrams of the Anti-Defamation League was quoted as expressing that "[t]hese hate groups are now leveraging the anti-Semitic tropes that Kanye West has been peddling on social media [and] on interviews" 

On October 27, CNN reported that West had a "disturbing history of admiring Hitler", had read Hitler's antisemitic manifesto Mein Kampf, and wanted to title his 2018 album Hitler.

For a black man, this is ludicrous.  Blacks are usually added to Jews as the

unwanted by anti-Semites.  Does Kanye think that by being on this side of 

the fence that he is freeing the Blacks because they now will join him in 

hatred for Jews?  

In response to his anti-semitic statements, Vogue, CAA, Balenciaga, Gap, and Adidas terminated their collaborations, sponsorships, and relationships with West. Foot Locker and TJ Maxx announced removal of West's products from their shelves. With the termination of his business relationships, West lost his billionaire status; Forbes estimated his reduced worth at $400 million, coming from his "real estate, cash, his music catalog, and a 5% stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian's shapewear firm, Skims". 

On October 26, 2022, West was escorted out of Skechers headquarters after he arrived unannounced and uninvited; Sketchers said it was "not considering and has no intention of working with West".

It couldn't happen to a more anti-Semitic man;  he is the worst of 2022 in the

USA.  The man is mentally sick.  Yet he has 31 million followers who hang 

only his every word.  Out of this group, there will be many who will commit

overt acts of anti-Semitism because of Kanye. Well, personally, I feel that 

anyone who is anti-Semitic and actually acts out against us Jews is

mentally sick.

George Demetrios Papadopoulos and His Energy Advice To Israel

Nadene Goldfoot                                             
                                                                         
A 31 year old young dual citizen of Greece and USA,George Papadopoulos, who met his wife, Italian lawyer Simona Mangiante, through  Malta born Joseph Mifsud, is being questioned over and over about his connections or not to Russia and President Donald Trump.  As it turns out, Mifsud is as interesting as George is.  George claims to have no connections with Russia or Russians.  

George was born August 19, 1987 in a Swedish hospital in Chicago, Illinois to Greek immigrants from Thessaloniki, Greece.  His mother, Kate/Kiki listed Massachusetts has her home with Worcester as her hometown.   His father is Antonis, an immigrant heavily involved in the local politics of the Greek-American community  being the former president of the Pan-Macedonian Union of the USA. I found "Dr. Antonios Papadopoulos, MD that  is an internal medicine specialist in Addison, IL. He graduated from University Of Louvain Brussels, Belgium and specializes in internal medicine and nephrology.  He's 61 and lives in Addison, Illinois.  It must be his father.  That's how George has been managing without a full time job.  

 His family first lived in Lincolnwood, Illinois and he graduated Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois.  In 2005 he graduated from DePaul U with a BA and a MS in 2009 in London at University College.  George  speaks, Greek, French, Arabic and English. 
                                                   

His early career was being an unpaid intern at the Hudson Institute from 2011 to 2015 specializing in the eastern Mediterranean, later working as a contract research assistant to a senior fellow at the institute. Now he was 28 years old, and hadn't really done anything towards earning a living.  

 in October 2013, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Greece Prime Minister Antonis Samaras met for the first ever G2G (Government-to-Government) meeting to be held in Jerusalem. During the meeting, the two national leaders signed ten separate cooperation agreements in fields like energy, science, technology, culture and education - as noted above. “This is a partnership that excludes no one and potentially includes all peoples in our region, aspiring to the same ideals of stability, security, peace and growth,” Samaras said.
                                                         
George Papadopoulos
He was sentenced to 2 weeks in prison, and 12 months of supervised release, and 200 hrs of community service and fined $9,500.  He sentence started November 26 2018 in Wisconsin.  
When 27 in 2014, Papadopoulos authored op-ed pieces in Israeli publications.  In one, published in the Arutz Sheva, he argued that the US should focus on its allies Israel, Greece and Cyprus to "contain the newly emergent Russian fleet".   He wrote another one which was published by Ha-aretz where he contended that Israel should exploit its natural gas resources in partnership with Cyprus and Greece rather than Turkey.  He was directing an international energy center at the London Centre of International Law Practice.   As we look at Turkey today with Erdogen moving so far towards   orthodox Islam, and how they were against Israel during the fleet of ships episode against Israel, we see he was quite right to encourage Israel to look upon Greece as a friend instead of Turkey.
                                                     
Ben Carson Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr. (born September 18, 1951) is an American politician, author and former neurosurgeon serving as the 17th and current United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development since 2017, under the Trump Administration. Prior to his cabinet position, he was a candidate for President of the United States in the Republican primaries in 2016.
George Papadopoulos had described himself as an oil, gas and policy consultant on his Linkedin page in 2014.  That's a page on facebook.  By September 2015 Papadopoulos left the Hudson Institute and joined ENERGY STREAM, a London energy consultancy as an oil and gas consultant for 4 months before joining Ben Carson's presidential campaign.  He worked for Carson from December 2015 to February 2016, a total of 3 months.  He switched and worked for Trump as a volunteer advisor by  March 2016.  At this time he was working for the London Centre of International Law Practice (LCILP) in March 2016.  
                                                      
Greek, Cypriot, and Israeli leaders met in Jerusalem on December 8, 2016, to discuss the construction and promotion of an oil pipeline from Israel to Greece, and then on to Italy and Bulgaria. The price of the pipeline is estimated to total $6.7 billion, and construction aims to be completed by 2025.  In June 2017 leaders from Greece, Cyprus, and Israel met again to discuss the pipeline, this time in Thessaloniki, Greece.  Speaking after the meeting, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stated that the group agreed to expedite our joint actions concerning our agreement on the contruction of the pipeline.  
Joseph Mifsud b: 1960
56 years old when met with 29 year old George P.

In August, Mifsud told the Washington Post that he had “absolutely no contact” with the Russian government. “I am an academic, I do not even speak Russian,” he wrote.

But there is independent evidence of Mifsud’s links to Russia, including a photograph of him and Russia’s ambassador to London taken at the ambassador’s residence in May 2014. The caption says the two discussed an academic summit in Moscow that Mifsud had attended and British-Russia relations.
In fact, on the 12th, George P.  was part of a visiting delegation to the Link Campus University in Rome where he met Joseph Mifsud, a teacher at the University of Stirling in Scotland.  Mifsud had a connection to Papadopouls.  He was born in Malta.  Supposedly Joseph had connections  to high-ranking Russian officials.

Since April 2019 Mifsud's been reported to be living in Rome.  He may be a Maltese counterintelligence person.    
                                                                
Simona Mangianate Papadopoulos
She married George in the middle of his storm. 

George met his wife,Simona Mangiante, an Italian lawyer, through Mifsud.  George had been living with his mother and brother since October 2017 in Chicago, and Simona had become his public spokeswoman being he made a guilty pea and was sentenced by the FBI then.  Samantha is a year younger than George.  " The couple met in the year 2017 in New York. Their relationship took a different turn when his husband was arrested in the same year because, during his service as an advisory member of 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump, he pleaded guilty to lying about his contacts with the Russian Government."  He never did view her as a Russian spy.  Simona used to work for the European Parliament in March 2018.  She has an international background so Mueller was interested in her and considered her a RED FLAG. 

"The sky might be the limit for Greece and Israel, as President Rivlin recently argued. The younger generation of Greeks and Israelis is prepared to accept and even serve this goal. "
