Olympia, capital of the state of Washington and home to Evergreen college where apparently you get to make up your very own major and where they don't use a standard letter grading system. It's also from where rachel corrie is from. You remember her right? She was the anti-Israel "social justice warrior" who found out the hard way why it's a really a bad idea for unauthorized personnel (like her) to enter sites where heavy construction vehicles are being operated. In other words folks, do not do that.
What you see in the background there is a portion of what's known to locals as the Olympia Rafah Solidarity Mural Project. In actuality however, it's a wall of anti-Israel hamas terror pandering hyper progressive BDS propaganda of intersectionality. But it did at least make for a great photo opportunity for me during this latest trip to this otherwise great state.
All that aside, this is my first and last time to Olympia. I think it's only a matter of time before some movie studio decides to shoot the next zombie apocalypse film around here, it just has that kinda feel. Don't believe me? Have a look at this walking tour video from just earlier this year by a local who's doing his best to put a positive spin on the bleak cityscape of Olympia's decrepit downtown area . . .
And by the way, earlier this month back in The SF Bay Area we had some anti-Israel clowns playing let's make believe we're tech workers protesting Israel. Yeah let's give billions of US tax payer dollars to the people who celebrated on 911 instead of to our allies in Ukraine who are resisting a vile anti-Western and anti-Democracy russian despot who has close ties to iran and syria. If that happened, you can bet at least some of that money would find it's way into hamas and islamic jihad's hands and probably even into the palestinian authority's pay for slay slush fund. This protest probably has something to do with Israel recently an anniversary of sorts since the beginnings of it's high tech success story which started with IBM opening up a facility in Haifa exactly 50 years ago this month.
