I mean, if you earn money in Afghanistan, so that\u2019s probably less helpful to you guys.\u201d Horowitz explains to one man: \u201cWe\u2019re Taliban 2.0. We\u2019re kinder, gentler. Not really, but okay. You know, it\u2019s our, it\u2019s the way, it\u2019s the way we roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those who stand there and take all that seriously get even more: \u201cWe want to be able to train our fighters to fight back against American interests. There\u2019s a lot of weapons that were left there, we need money to train them how to use it against American forces.\u201d It gets even worse: \u201cWe want to train our fighters to strike back against American interests around the world and in the homeland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Horowitz knows just what to say to move woke Berkeley students to open their wallets: \u201cBefore America got there, we used it as a base to strike against America. We want to do that again\u2026.We got to fight back, you know? And America\u2019s destroying the world, and we want to secure it for striking against the American homeland.\u201d He tells another student: \u201cSo we want to be able to create a bulwark against America in Afghanistan, to fund and help its enemies around the world strike back against American interests, both abroad and in the homeland.\u201d And: \u201cBasically we want to create a safe space for enemies of the United States\u2026.9\/11 was a lesson, but this is, they didn\u2019t learn their lesson from 9\/11. We want them to do that again like we did it in 2001.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pitch couldn\u2019t have been clearer that the money was going to go for jihad massacres on American soil. Horowitz tells a student that he wants to \u201ccreate a safe haven for America\u2019s enemies.\u201d To another avidly listening young woman, he says, \u201cWe want to strike the US both abroad and in the homeland, to teach them a lesson. Life means nothing to them, and America needs to be brought to heel.\u201d The student replied: \u201cVery true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other students in the video respond enthusiastically as well. To one young woman, Horowitz says, \u201cI don\u2019t know if you know that much about American imperialism.\u201d She responds, \u201cOh, yes, yeah.\u201d Horowitz continues: \u201cSo you know how damaging the US is.\u201d Her reply: \u201cDefinitely!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One student hears Horowitz\u2019s pitch and responds, \u201cOkay, that sounds great!\u201d Another tells him, \u201cAppreciate what you\u2019re doing here.\u201d A third says, \u201cWhat you\u2019re talking about is really important and I agree with you fully.\u201d One young man tells Horowitz, \u201cI would work for you.\u201d One student pledges $50; Horowitz gives him a hug and exclaims, \u201cDo you know how many Taliban fighters we can train on that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Horowitz told the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/20\/students-fund-the-taliban-video-shows-college-kids-gone-woke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a><\/em>: \u201cEvery time I dream up an idea for a new video, I always have the same conversation with myself: \u2018I\u2019ve gone too far, this is too insane.\u2019 There\u2019s no way that people will accept the premise I\u2019m going to present them with. I thought, \u2018How can I go to a major American university and ask people to give me money for the Taliban, specifically to kill Americans? What universe do I have to be in to find American kids willing to give me money to kill Americans?\u2019 But that\u2019s exactly what we found\u2026.This is probably one of the only times where if someone punched me in the face, I\u2019d be happy. Not a single person told me to go to hell or go f\u2013k myself\u2026.The majority of people who stopped and talked to me decided they\u2019d give me money for this \u2014 to fund the Taliban and specific use of proceeds to kill Americans, and strike back at America, and fund a new 9\/11 on the US homeland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even the cameraman, whom the Post describes as \u201ca left-of-center San Franciscan,\u201d was shocked, and asked Horowitz, \u201cAm I being punked right now? Are these actors? I don\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I do. So do you. Every day at UC Berkeley, these students\u2019 professors regale them with propaganda about how America is an evil agent of imperialism, colonialism, and racism, and that the Americans among them should regard their American nationality with shame. This relentless indoctrination bears the fruit it was intended to bear: a generation of Americans who not only wouldn\u2019t fight to defend this country but would cheerfully aid in its destruction. That fruit is what this video shows us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UC Berkeley Students Happily Pledge Money to Help the Taliban Kill Americans Inside the U.S \ufeff Anyone who may still be skeptical about the assertion that today\u2019s college students are taught to hate America should take three minutes to watch\u00a0this video from filmmaker Ami Horowitz, in which he asks students at the University of California, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=73489\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education-schools","category-enemies-foreign-domestic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73489"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73490,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73489\/revisions\/73490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
