Josh Marshall: Straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Just moments ago, Lou Dobbs...

Straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Just moments ago, Lou Dobbs guest Chris Farrell (head of Judicial Watch) says Caravan is being funded/directed by the "Soros-occupied State Department".

For those who don't know this world, "ZOG" is a staple of white supremacist/neo-Nazi websites/literature etc. Stands for "Zionist occupied government", i.e., US govt being controlled by Jews. This guy knows exactly what lever he's pulling when he uses this phrase.

Chris Farrell, the guy in the interview is "Director of Investigations" at @JudicialWatch

Final point. Shooter was clearly a virulent anti-semite of long standing. But what appears to have triggered his rampage is exactly THIS conspiracy theory, that Soros and Jews are funding/directing the caravan. This is little the guy's beef. Pushed on FoxBiz not 12 hrs later.

Social media platform used by suspected Pittsburgh shooter banned from PayPal

Source: The Hill

Gab.com, a social media company that was used by the suspect of Saturday's shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, received a notice from PayPal Saturday afternoon saying it would be kicked off the payment platform.

“We are hereby notifying you that we are terminating our relationship with you pursuant to PayPal’s User Agreement. Under the PayPal User Agreement, PayPal, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate your account for any reason and at any time upon notice to you,” the website said in an email to Gab’s CEO, which Gab then posted to its Twitter page.

...

Gab, which describes itself as “The Home Of Free Speech Online,” rejected claims it bore any responsibility for Saturday’s shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburg’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood that left 11 dead.

The suspected shooter, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, posted on his Gab page that “jews are the children of satan.”

Please join me in giving a collective hug to DU's Jewish members and their loved ones.

The attacks on the Jewish community have soared since Trump took office: bomb threats/vandalism of Jewish community centers, desecration of Jewish graves, chants of "Jews will not replace us", hateful signs and symbols becoming more and more visible on the daily... murder.

I know this is just an internet message board, but I hope you know that there is true feeling behind this small gesture...

The Twitcess tweets: America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and anti-semite.

America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and anti-semite.

All good Americans stand with the Jewish people to oppose acts of terror & share the horror, disgust & outrage over the massacre in Pittsburgh.

We must unite against hatred & evil. God bless those affected

In her new book, “Women Who Work,” Ivanka Trump writes about how her family observes the weekly Jewish holiday. “From sundown Friday to Saturday night, my family and I observe the Shabbat,” she wrote. “During this time, we disconnect completely — no emails, no TV, no phone calls, no Internet. We enjoy uninterrupted time together and it’s wonderful." She added: “It’s enormously important to unplug and devote that time to each other. We enjoy long meals together, we read, we take walks in the city, we nap, and just hang out.”
