Watch the New York governor explain her new "surveillance efforts" to "counter" speech her government doesn't like
Not The Bee ^ | Nov 14, 2023 | Staff

Man, I'm sure glad a Republican isn't leading New York, cuz the media says they'd implement an authoritarian theocracy where Big Brother spies on you for wrongthink on the internet!

We're very focused on the data we're collecting from surveillance efforts - what's being said on social media platforms. And we have launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms.

Hochul said this in the context of a wave of antisemitism in the state. New York is home to 2.2 million Jews, and over 1.6 million live in New York City (the largest population in any city of the world).

You hate to see the hate being spewed online, but Hochul thinking total-state surveillance of citizens is the answer is, well, as dumb as anyone who's lived through the last 100 years of history could imagine.

It's painful to me as the governor of this great state — that has been known for its diversity, and how we celebrate different cultures, different religions, different viewpoints — it's painful to see the cruelty with which New Yorkers are treating each other. Everywhere from college campuses, to our streets, to schools, to playgrounds; even as they're entering their houses of worship.

Interesting. So "diversity" isn't bad by itself. You can have lots of people from different cultures and ethnicities that get along. But Hochul lobs religions and viewpoints in there.

Then she said she "deployed the State Police to protect our synagogues and yeshivas and mosques."

Here's my question for her: Can she point to an instance of Jews causing violence in the streets or targeting mosques? I found one example of a mosque in Brooklyn being vandalized... from 2021.

Meanwhile, on the side of those who hate Jews...

(Notice how the NYT doesn't give a specific number for antisemitic crimes in its tweet.)

The New York Post is here to call them out:

The NYPD reports that hate crimes jumped 124% last month over October 2022 — driven by a 214% leap in anti-Jewish incidents.

Overall, the city saw 101 hate crimes last month (vs. 45 last October), including 69 anti-Jewish crimes, compared to eight anti-Muslim incidents.

So who are you monitoring with these "surveillance efforts," governor? You say you are "very focused on the data." Are you really?

Because here are the data from just New York City:


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Government; US: New York
KEYWORDS: civilrights; freespeech; hochul; newyork; spying; tyranny

Ny, a.lowijg murderers and criminals go free, without bail, but don’t you dare utter somehting unbecoming about ny lest you get arrested and denied bail and thrown into so,Italy confinement for a few years while you wait for your trial .for freely expressing your opinions.

Hate speech sucks, BUT it is not agaisnt the law- hate groups are allowed to protest with the most vile language you can imagine at soldiers funerals, and the courts have ruled that they have a right to do SO

Kathy however feels she is greater than the sc and the constitution evidently

NY Gov Hochul knows how to suckup bigtime. Total-state surveillance of citizens is her MO.

Hochul: “It’s painful to me as the governor of this great state — that has been known for its diversity, and how we celebrate different cultures, different religions, different viewpoints — it’s painful to see the cruelty with which New Yorkers are treating each other. Everywhere from college campuses, to our streets, to schools, to playgrounds...... even as they’re entering houses of worship.”

Amazing isnt it? With all that turmoil, how she manages
to hit all the liberal virtue-signalling, vote-getting suckups.

How many “hate crimes” are not reported as such due to the nature of those involved?

It just occurred to me everyone but the Jews and Whites have a “phobia” when they are criticized. I have never heard “Jewphobia” “Whitephobia” or “Christanphobia” uttered anywhere when the democrats spew their hatred.

Who do you think manufactured the Cuomo coup? None of the accusations were actually very new, just collated.

It has Hochul and her handlers written all over it.
