I know what it means to live without freedom—and I know the civilization that made my freedom possible must be defended. Here is my manifesto to defend the Judeo-Christian civilization that made freedom possible and to launch @RestoringWest. restoringthewest.com/p/the-r…

🚨VOTE MICHIGAN: YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! Reject Democracy, Implement Islam”: The MSA Doctrine Abdul El-Sayed Helped Lead The Muslim Students Association at the University of Illinois Chicago stated it plainly: “The mission of Muslims in the West is to reject democracy and implement Islam.” They continued: reject anything not from Islam, reject secular ideas in the West and in Muslim lands, do not compromise on the Deen or the Hukam of Allah, and implement Allah’s rule because that is the only path to justice and victory. That is the same network Abdul El-Sayed helped lead. At the University of Michigan, El-Sayed served as outreach chair for the MSA. responsible for bringing students into the organization and running da’wah (the invitation to Islam before jihad) - then as a staff writer, then as vice president. The chapter’s own charter subordinated it to the national MSA. The Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 strategy memorandum listed the national MSA among “our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” An FBI assessment called it the first formal U.S. Muslim Brotherhood organization. As Hero Steve Emerson from IPT just exposed, while he sat on the board, the Michigan chapter planned a campaign for Tariq Ramadan, grandson of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. It discussed a fundraising dinner for KindHearts, a charity whose fundraiser had been indicted in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas case and which the Senate Finance Committee had already flagged in its terror-financing inquiry. El-Sayed’s own signed piece in the chapter newsletter called for metro Detroit’s Muslim community to become “the point of nucleation for global unification” in service of the worldwide Ummah. Hello Michigan are you hearing this!? The UIC speaker stated the end goal without disguise: reject democracy and implement Islamic rule. Emerson’s recovered newsletters and board minutes show El-Sayed running the campus organization the Brotherhood built to advance that project in America. Let's not forget: In 2012, Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed signed a letter urging Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi to “purge the media and the police as quickly as possible.” The words are theirs. The leadership role is documented.

Elon is an ally to humanity, to the Jewish principle that we were each made in the image of the divine, with dignity and worth to every human life. And he’s an ally to western civilization, to those who want it to prosper with principles from the enlightenment (vs third-world and envy-based cultures). So he’s an ally to the Jews! But it’s also good he’s not Jewish, we need more non-Jews at his level of success 😅
Elon: “I grew up around a lot of Jewish people, I went to Hebrew preschool, my name is pretty Jewish. I went to Israel when I was 13, most of my friends are Jewish, sometimes I forget ‘Am I Jewish?’, I'm aspirationally Jewish.” Ben: “Elon is Jewish.”

Opposing woke ideology means little if you abandon basic human decency. @JGustavssonPhD explains why Vivek Ramaswamy just proved that point.
Vivek Ramaswamy thought using Amy Acton’s estranged mother against her was a winning strategy. Instead, he exposed his own appalling judgment. @JGustavssonPhD on why opposing woke ideology isn’t enough. Conservatives must also defend basic standards of decency.

Is this you @AbdulElSayed in Colombia in 2022? It’s a private retreat including Intuitive Solutions, the fundraising and contracting organization for at least five credibly accused Muslim Brotherhood offshoots and other terror-affiliates. Is that you grinning in a photo with the CEO of ICNA Relief, which has been criticized for its connections to Islamic terror groups? h/t to @Govt_Acct_Inst Director of Research @JeddMcFatter for this find.

A contact sent me this viral image of Bradford, Britain and asked if it was fake. Two helpful tools to suss out misinformation: (1) Reverse image search: this photo appeared in The Economist. (2) HiveDetect: 0% likely to be AI

Serbia is finally free. Now comes the hard work of keeping it that way.
It began with a collapsed canopy at the Novi Sad train station that killed 16 people. Two years later, Serbia's student protesters have ousted Aleksandar Vučić. @TreyDimsdale on why Serbia is free, and what its new leaders must resist: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/f… #RestoringTheWest #Serbia #Freedom

I know all too well what happens when religion is weaponized to control women. We must not normalize it.
A WIRED report finds the "Muslim manosphere" going mainstream: influencers invoking Allah's authority to tell women how to dress, behave, and speak, and followers bombarding women's inboxes with unsolicited messages. @Ayaan on what happens when male resentment finds religious authority: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/i… #RestoringTheWest #Manosphere #Women

A love of great literature can begin long before a child learns to read.
Only 37.6 percent of Americans read a novel or short story last year. Listening comprehension develops faster than reading skills, so audiobooks can hook children on great fiction long before they can decode it themselves. @jarobinson1 in praise of audiobooks: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/a… #RestoringTheWest #Audiobooks #Reading

Revival begins at home, not in the halls of government.
On October 6, a satanic invocation opened a city council meeting in Ottumwa, Iowa. Pastor Rick Bick refused to stay silent. @daisymaeinglese on why Christians can't legislate their way back to God, and why revival begins in our own homes and churches: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/w… #RestoringTheWest #Christianity #Faith

Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency. Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey. @JonasYDu reports 👇

Compassion without judgment is not mercy. It is a failure of justice and too often, the innocent pay the ultimate price.
Twelve days before 15-year-old Mia Valentin was murdered in Kandel, her family reported the threats to police. Her killer had claimed to be a child. X-rays later put his age at around twenty. @Ayaan on the difference between mercy and compassion, and why, when compassion replaces judgment, the innocent pay the price: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/c… #RestoringTheWest #Mercy #Justice

🚨 MICHIGAN ALERT - JIHADIS UNITE 🚨 You think France was bad? America has no idea what’s coming. France got the car burnings, the no-go zones, the terror attacks, and the politicians who eventually had to bow. Michigan is getting the quiet version (for NOW): the ballot-box version. Jihadists and their enablers have decided elections are their new war. They’re uniting, organizing, and voting as a bloc while most Americans stay home. Mosques and community networks turned into get-out-the-vote machines. Templates shared. Candidates who put the ummah first are sliding into office on razor-thin margins. Obama’s machine and the open-borders left (and right) opened the door. Now the same formula that remade large parts of Europe is running in Dearborn, Hamtramck, and the swing-state suburbs. Abdul el-Sayed is a dangerous Brotherhood operative... His network is building parallel societies and has parallel priorities. Arabic on the street signs. American values treated as optional. This is civilizational conquest by demographic and electoral numbers. They told us the plan. We just refused to listen. Vote like your state and lives depends on it- because it does. If you still think “it can’t happen here” - please know it is advancing much faster! Wake up. Show up. Or lose it.

Half a million protesters. A historic town hall in flames. France faces a stark question: violence or the Republic?
Over half a million people marched in France last Saturday, and rioters burned down Limoges's 19th-century town hall. Prime Minister Lecornu says parliament must choose "between violence and the Republic." @Ayaan asks what a state is for: URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/s… #RestoringTheWest #France #Europe

Texas, here is one more example of why you should vote for @KenPaxtonTX and @GregAbbott_TX. Keep Texas free and safe.
TERRIFYING: Islamic scholar in Dallas, Texas: “We are all in ACTIVE jihad here. This is a battle between us Muslims and the kuffar (non-Muslims), perhaps with weapons and swords.” When they tell you their plans, believe them.

🚨 EL-SAYED MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TIES EXPOSED (AGAIN) AS OLD VIDEO RESURFACES At the Michigan Senate debate, Abdul El-Sayed denied ever belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood. A resurfaced 2009 video shows him speaking at a Muslim Students Association event. The MSA notoriously has historical Brotherhood links.

Can conservative journalism survive without political patronage? A timely conversation about the future of conservative media in Europe.
The European Conservative closed after Hungary's elections. Its former editor-in-chief says content can be independent while funding is not. @DelphineChui talks with Alvino-Mario Fantini (@FantinoVienna) about whether conservative journalism can survive political patronage URL: ayaan.restoringthewest.com/a… #RestoringTheWest #Journalism #Conservatism
