BOO 'EFFIN HOO: TERRORIST SUPPORTERS AT UCLA ARE UPSET

California's elite universities have become hotbeds of radical un-American activity, unabated by administrators who are afraid to lose their six-figure cushy jobs and knowing that the Board of Regents, mostly progressive communist democrats, will side with the students and media propagandists.

Authored by Dylan Kupsh, a fourth-year doctoral student studying computer science at UCLA and member of Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine. During the spring quarter, Kupsh participated in the UCLA Palestine solidarity encampment and other actions.

Editor’s note: This article describes instances of violence that may be disturbing to some readers.

On the fourth day of the UCLA Palestine solidarity encampment, a community member asked me, “What should we do if there’s a bomb?”

I replied incredulously, “Bombs aren’t allowed at UCLA.”

The next night, a Zionist flashed encampment participants with their holstered pistol. Each night, Zionists brandished knives and would fiercely hack at the cobbled-together scrap wood barricades. Zionists unleashed cockroaches and mice with injection marks.

Zionists would throw bananas inside the encampment, knowing a student had a potentially deadly banana allergy. We slept through racist tirades, bullhorns, broadcasted baby screams and songs used by Israeli forces during the torture of captives. And the day prior to the mob attack, we had the aforementioned – albeit false – bomb threat.

UCLA watched each successive attack. We would yell, “They have a gun,” or, “That Zionist has a knife,” only to receive confused, blank stares back from UCLA’s contracted private security. At one point, I physically handed a bewildered UCLA administrator the fart bomb packaging thrown into the encampment to no response.

After witnessing the growing attacks, UCLA ignored our outcry to protect students’ physical safety and instead granted permits – which were instantly violated – and cultivated the conditions leading to the April 30 Zionist mob attack.

When the mob attacked, UCPD and private security almost instantly retreated, telling me their job wasn’t to “defend students.” UCLA blocked ambulances from attending to injured protesters, forcing us to seek emergency hospital treatment in private vehicles.

[OCS: University police tried to protect life and property but were forced back by militant students urged on by what appeared to be trained professional activist/agitators, many non-students from off-campus.]

The following day, militarized police – with UCLA’s blessing – indiscriminately fired nearly 60 less-than-lethal projectiles and a nearly endless barrage of 40mm aerial flash-bang devices. Medical students actively caring for protesters injured by rubber bullets were arrested alongside attendees. As observers aptly summarized, it’s a miracle the encampment ended with no obituaries.

[OCS: Militarized? The police were wearing defensive gear and were attacked with fireworks, bear spray, thrown projectiles, and forced to endure those literally spitting insults into their faces.]

In the following weeks, Zionists, private security and the police became more physically aggressive, emboldened by the UCLA administration’s actions and inaction. Members of APEX Security Group launched heavy metal tables upon groups of protesters and aimlessly threw punches into crowds of students, and CSC security contractors dressed in bulletproof-like vests cheered on trucks attempting to run us over.

Near the end of the quarter, I became increasingly depressed, traveling to picket lines and protests only to get assaulted by UCLA-sanctioned security on a near-daily basis.

[OCS: Most of the actions attributed to Jews are bogus and unsubstantiated. Read the rest of the screed in The Daily Bruin, UCLA’s online campus newsletter. Notice the damage to the facade of this historic building.]

These are the same people who created Jew-free zones, trapped and harassed Jews trying to attend classes or use UCLA facilities. These are the same people who defaced and damaged UCLA property and created havoc on campus.

Bottom line…

These are the anti-Israel, anti-Jew, pro-terrorist fools who would be instantly shot dead if they tried this in the land they are defending, killed by those who claim they are freedom fighters while butchering men, women, and children—gang-raping girls and burning babies alive.

These fools should be expelled and forced to pay for damage to UCLA’s beautiful campus. Professors, tenured or not, should be dismissed and prosecuted.

The American people can no longer support a fifth column of traitors seeking to destroy America from within under the guise of “peaceful protest.”

Employers: Would you trust the author of this screed with access to your system and the keys to your digital kingdom?

We are so screwed.

FEMA: FAILED EMERGENCY MISMANAGEMENT AGENCY

The response to Hurricane Helene has been nothing short of a stunning failure. It is marked by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) inability to meet the basic needs of devastated communities that feel betrayed by a government institution designed to be their lifeline.

From leadership failures to gross mismanagement of resources, the shortcomings of the FEMA response have left an indelible scar on those affected.

Leadership Failure: FEMA’s leadership faltered from the outset, with delayed decision-making and inadequate coordination between federal, state, and local authorities. Instead of a proactive approach, the agency waited for situations to deteriorate before offering minimal and slow relief. This reactive posture left many communities stranded without the necessary support, deepening the sense of abandonment among survivors.
Resource Mismanagement: While FEMA had access to significant funding and resources, these were mismanaged or poorly allocated, leaving critical supplies in warehouses far from where they were needed most. Many areas hardest hit by Hurricane Helene received little to no help in the crucial first hours and days. Reports emerged of unused water, food, and emergency equipment stockpiled miles away while people in flooded areas were desperate for clean water and basic necessities.
Inadequate Communication: Clear communication is essential in any disaster, yet FEMA fell woefully short. Local authorities complained that they were left in the dark, with little information on when aid would arrive or what kind of assistance would be available. Communities impacted by the hurricane were left guessing about evacuation routes, the availability of relief centers, and timelines for receiving help. Residents scrolled through social media hoping for updates, often relying on rumors because of the void left by official channels.
Failure of On-Scene Personnel: Equally troubling was FEMA’s on-the-ground personnel's failure to engage with distressed individuals. Victims reported scenes of chaos where personnel were either hard to find or unapproachable. The absence of coordination, empathy, and even a protocol to guide response workers meant many people were left in limbo, unsure where to turn for help. This lack of on-the-ground responsiveness was the difference between life and death for those trapped in dangerous situations.

Did FEMA Play Politics with Relief Supplies and Emergency Funds?

One of the most disturbing revelations in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene was the allegation of the blatant politicization of FEMA’s emergency funds. Instead of prioritizing areas that were hardest hit, there were reports that the allocation of resources was influenced by political considerations, leaving many communities in desperate need while others received disproportionate amounts of aid.

In regions where local and state governments were perceived as less aligned with the federal administration, FEMA’s response was notably slower and less comprehensive. Political insiders and watchdog groups have pointed out that communities with more substantial Democratic majorities received quicker, more robust support, prompting accusations of favoritism. Some emergency funds earmarked for essential services like food, water, and medical supplies were funneled into unrelated projects that bolster the administration’s political agenda more than meet urgent community needs.

Bottom line…

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, FEMA’s failings have laid bare the cracks in our nation’s disaster response infrastructure. From the top echelons of leadership to the on-scene personnel, FEMA’s inability to swiftly and effectively respond to a natural disaster makes it crystal clear that FEMA requires serious reform. The agency’s failures are not just administrative—they are deeply human, leaving behind broken communities and shattered lives. Moving forward, if FEMA is to regain the public’s trust, its leadership, processes, and, most importantly, its ability to respond swiftly and compassionately when disaster strikes must be rebuilt. Otherwise, the acronym may forever be rebranded as the “Failed Emergency Mismanagement Agency.”

We are so screwed.
