(The actual Houthis. Pictured above.)
The Houthi Jihadists, backed by Iran, whose motto includes, “Death to America”, are attacking ships on the sea.
U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire and sank three small boats carrying Houthi militants in the Red Sea on Sunday, after U.S. warships responded to a distress call from a merchant vessel, military officials said.
A Maersk container ship, the Singapore-flagged Hangzhou, issued a distress call at about 6:30 a.m. local time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Sunday. The merchant vessel said four small boats were attacking it.
“The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew-served and small-arms weapons at the Maersk Hangzhou, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel,” Central Command said.
Helicopters from two U.S. ships — the USS Eisenhower and the USS Gravely — responded and issued verbal calls to the small boats, U.S. officials said.
While the helicopters were “in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms,” Central Command said.
Service members aboard the Navy helicopters returned fire and sank three of the four small boats, killing the crews, U.S. officials said. The fourth boat fled the area.
In a statement Sunday, the Houthis said they lost 10 group members after U.S. forces fired on their vessels, referring to the engagement as “dangerous behavior” that will have “negative repercussions.”
The group also said it will continue operating in the Red Sea. “The American enemy bears the consequences of this crime and its repercussions,” the group said, in part.
Maersk is a Danish company and the Hangzhou is flagged in Singapore. This has nothing to do with America or Israel. It’s just Jihadist piracy.
But in the streets of New York City, pro-Hamas commies rallied for the Houthi attacks on civilian shipping.

In case you’re wondering who put this up, the Party for Socialism and Liberation did.
They want everyone to hear them chanting, “YEMEN, YEMEN MAKE US PROUD! TURN ANOTHER SHIP AROUND!”
So we’re past pretending that this is about the “open-air prison” or ceasefire nonsense. The Left is simply all in on Iran and will cheer any of its Jhadists.
The goal isn’t a ceasefire, it’s war.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a Leninist Communist party that is “building the fight for a socialist future in the United States”. Like much of the anti-war movement, including Code Pink, these boys and girls are tied up with Neville Roy Singham, a tycoon operating out of Communist China.
Neville Roy Singham, born to a Sri-Lankan radical professor father affiliated with The Nation magazine who had palled around with Castro and to a Chinese academic mother, and raised in Chicago, Singham’s story had echoes of Obama. Unlike Obama, Singham made a fortune in business before selling it all and moving to China
He operates from a Shanghai office that he shares with the Maku Group whose red and yellow offices commemorate the “centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China” based on the “little red light of stars” and now sets out as a “revolutionary force” that “sets out from the East, to connect the world”.
The walls are decorated with Maoist slogans such as “criticism and self-criticism” and “collectivism” as part of its mission of creating content for “progressive think tanks.”
The New York Times describes how “Maku’s website shows young people gathering in Singham’s office, facing a red banner that reads, in Chinese, ‘Always Follow the Party.’ Resting on a shelf is a plate depicting Xi.” Maku has received millions from a Singham nonprofit.
Indicating the scale of the problem, allegedly, “hundreds of millions of dollars” flowed around groups that “mix progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points.”
A complicated pathway leads through nonprofits such as the People’s Support Foundation, and the People’s Forum, a Manhattan Garment District storefront decorated with Cuban, PLO and Venezuelan flags where copies of Castro’s speeches and ‘China’s Great Road’ are sold, as strands in a web linking American and Indian leftists to a Chinese propaganda network.
That trail also connects to the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Sitting on the People’s Forum’s board is Claudia De La Cruz, who pulls triple duty as BreakThrough’s secretary and as a “co-coordinator/educator” for the Justice and Education Fund. An auditor’s report filed in New York shows that more of Singham’s money trickled down to BreakThrough from the Forum in the form of $80,575 in donated rent in 2021, the most recent year for which filings are available.
But when The Daily Beast visited the People’s Forum address, it found a bookstore hawking tomes by Prashad and titles from his Leftword imprint, as well as a coffee shop and an event space—but no evidence of a studio. What’s more, none of BreakThrough’s hosts appear among the staff listed in the outlet’s filings. Rather, the underlying nonprofit’s leadership consists of figures like De La Cruz who donate an hour a week to the organization, and who like De La Cruz are affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a small far-left sect that does not appear to receive substantial donations from Singham or from anybody else. The PSL does, however, appear as an allied group to the International People’s Media Network on its webpage. Puryear and Becker, two of the BreakThrough anchors, are co-founders of the party.
All of this is familiar stuff from the Cold War.
Communist China is funding our enemies, recruiting and calling for our destruction in our own cities. And it’s doing it using nonprofits and activists operating through the tax code.
This is the real face of much of the leftist wing of the pro-Hamas movement.
Jeff Bargholz says
With their Nazi salutes, I’m not surprised to learn those dhimmie wokesters are sponsored by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Da Mayor, Boogie Adams, probably provided them a police escort.
What a good spot for a napalm drop.
Jeff Bargholz says
Oops! Those are the Houthis giving Nazi salutes, so I’m not surprised the woke American dorksters of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the idiotic video love them.
I notice all the wokesters are dorks and every single Houthi in the photo is ugly. I’d hate to see what the chicks look like in Yemen. Probably a swineherd of Ragheada Tlaib looking pigs.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Some Yemenis were running a store in my former neighborhood. Before 9-11, the girls were friendly and happy to be in USA. After 9-11 something changed, hardly saw them around in the store after that.
Cheryl Barker says
“Dangerous behavior” that will have “negative repercussions?” Will the Houthis send a strongly worded letter of condemnation to the US State Dept. next? The feds would probably apologize for “over-reacting” (like an actual sovereign nation should) and offer money and grief counselors to help.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Drop MOABs on them. That’s the best way to induce shock.
NAVY ET1 says
In the words of my generation: “Same as it ever was”. College students are just as stupid and gullible as ever. It is a striking dichotomy and intellectual disconnect to witness though, but very reminiscent of Hanoi Jane and the Cong. The difference (as you so aptly pointed out) is the money trail, which would require a conservative federal government to close those ChiCom funding loopholes because the current administration agrees with their underlying premise.
I am particularly happy to see the Navy can still carry out mission critical strikes without requiring a transgender dance competition, though. That at least is something.
TruthLaser says
Since universities began in the Middle Ages, there was always a conflict between the culture of “town and gown.” Now, with mass college “education,” there is a leisure class of “students” available for “insurrection” against the serfs and bourgeoisie.
Jeff Bargholz says
Not only that but colleges and universities prevent stupid, impressionable and sophomoric teens from growing up. They’re like a continuation of primary school with professors who are ten times more radical than the woke teachers in government primary schools. Perpetual students are perpetual children until they eventually have to enter the real world, and by then most of them have been hopelessly brainwashed.
We all remember how dumb most of us were as teens. Now we have a growing sub-culture of mental and emotional retardation, thanks to the powerful influence of colleges, universities, the fake news and entertainment media and the Dirtbagocrat party. I see it all around me in society.
Philip Impey says
Ah yes., Queen Cong..Remember her well and her sheer hypocrisy by helping bring down a system which has made her a multiple millionaire. Complete frauds and hypocrites. With these imposters I don’t watch their movies or support the products they promote..
Jeff Bargholz says
The navy let one of the wimpy little boats go, though.
Some commercial ships are armed with heavy machine guns. I’m surprised so few do.
Rip N Read says
‘Pro-Palestine’ may be the Antifa/BLM for the 2024 election.
Jeff Bargholz says
So far, red cities like NYC have accommodated Hamas and its “woke” dhimmies like they’ve done for BLM and Antifa, so you make a good point.
I wonder if the Dirtbagocrats will deploy any of their Brownshirts this election year, though? They did it in 2020 so they could blame the mayhem on President Trump along with their Wuhan flu, but I think it will be much harder to blame it on 2024 candidate Trump while the illegitimate Alzheimer Joe administration is in charge.
BLM has fallen out of favor with the fools in the general public and the sensible people in the general public have always hated those anti-white, black supremacist, insurrectionist, terrorist murderers. And Antifa and Hamas are hated by all but the mentally ill fringe.
I guess we’ll find out what happens.
commonsense says
If the supine Republicans take no robust, proactive measures to address the certainty of massive election fraud in 2024, then Ole Grampa Biden will “win” a second term. It’s in the bag.
SPURWING PLOVER says
So where is the NYT’s where’s the ADL? their doing the Nazi Salute these types of people ne big news for the major news networks or the NYT’s?
RAM says
In perverting our universities, China has thrown more money around than Qatar.
Jeff Bargholz says
Nearly all the money thrown around colleges and universities has dirty sources, including the American government.
Bob says
So why did the Navy allow the fourth boat to escape to fight another day? Would make a good target.
John Eddy says
Search “new lies for old free pdf” and “the perestroika deception free pdf” to read the two books by Anatoly Golitsyn and you will find that the Cold War isn’t really over.
