RSSNobel laureate Gunter Grass described himself as “an extreme moderate” in political terms. He cited Germany’s 20th century experience as the reason. Now, it seems, a vast swath of the Russian people, in fact, are also moved to adopt a political stance of “extreme moderation” as the best way forward…
Gilad Atzmon, as usual, offers us intellectual red meat for thought. Regarding the Zionist/Jewish attitude to the Holocaust, I would flag an event that occurred in Jerusalem in April 1976, when the South African Prime Minister John Vorster was invited to Yad Vashem while on an official visit to Israel, where he paid homage to the victims of the Nazi Holocaust. Vorster himself had been interned during WWII as a Nazi sympathizer; a non-issue for his Jewish hosts, including the late Yitzhak Rabin, apparently. That Vorster oversaw an apartheid regime that was officially racist, indeed white supremacist, was also a non-issue. Two months later, after black schoolchildren were slaughtered by South African security forces during a protest in the Soweto Township against the paucity of resources being devoted to their education, inter alia, it did not inhibit the Jewish state from establishing closer economic and military ties with Pretoria. It certainly was not something that spurred the Israeli leadership and their opinion-maker flunkeys to invoke the Nazi Holocaust.
These bits help, you are illustrating and sketching what is power at works, and what progress in the long term is not allowed to do.In global society in this early twenty-first century, there is little room for progress that does not collide with power interests. Hence planetary rule, to give some lee-way to the elites to experiment and un-cramp their uptight attitudes. Crude prozac of sorts. Creativity needs leisure, play, descaling and multiplying the experiments in social, economical and learning attitudes, the context-ing outside of historical models, re-envisioning established attitudes. Experiments toward quality including global population interference, would then be possible, the newer concepts of non-intrusive biological interactivity with human nature, using big data blobs for meaningful output, curating stale ideas. Turn away from the masses, they seem not to be the most urgent matter. The local in power and the quest for it, is dead anyhow. Theoretical stances, small contained experiments, have real science enact on real life, local experiments to decide global attitudes.So yes, not power, but progress, and multiplying new mistakes, so much easier contained as our times allow, augmented speed and accuracy of decision without the derivatives of repeated and up-scaled same mistakes would be it.One single suggestion comes to mind, let in and allow outliers into the educational process, into the machinations of billy-o-nairing, and into establishment, into the world of ideas. Not so much a free flow of capital, but a pulling in of wasted cognitive talent, unconventional thinking, and allow it to build momentum is suppressed. Not crowd control, not educating the masses, but the quest for understanding and progress would give humanity a new outlook and "many new mistakes", "experimental" progress. The basing into personal wealth beyond a certain point, and the few brain-dead venue-ways to acquire and cement personal wealth paralyses human society. There is only a few venue-ways to acquire ego and monetized success that is to capitalize on nature, on the growing global sludge classes of disoriented humans, and that corrupted as an important factor what our elites look and feel like. We can say they are repeating the same mistakes, in a spin of repeated fear-induced, cramped ruling. The death of creativity, an epoch of Jewish mindsets for short-term power.

Noam Chomsky has described policies put forward (e.g., U.S.-Israeli peace proposals advanced over the decades to address/solve the Question of Palestine) that are intended to fail, that “succeed” by in fact failing. Might these be the driving purpose behind a series of futile non-victorious Middle Eastern wars the U.S. has fought? Whose ultimate goal is a weakened/chastened America resembling those compliant castrates, post-war Japan and post-war Germany, doing the bidding of its overlords over/against the wishes of the ordinary, average Japanese or German people.
Consider that sloppy, lumbering way Israel went about invading southern Lebanon in 2006. Their forces got stuck and bottlenecked in the mountain passes there. A small group of 3000 Hizbollah fighters were able to play havoc with the Israelis’ invasion plan and hold off the the IDF units for 34 days. In many instances, Israeli shelling of civilian areas caused death and injury to just the ordinary Lebanese that included children and which did a lot of damage to the IDF’s reputation as the “most moral” army. In the end, the IDF retreated back into Israel, taking scores of dead and wounded IDF soldiers with them. The whole campaign was a bust and Israel’s reputation for military prowess got a big black eye. Since then, Hizbollah has honed its own military abilities by fighting and defeating the crazed ISIS fighters in Syria, while Israeli forces have mostly fought against the weaker Hamas units.
I recall that “anti-Semite” Richard Nixon (who tag-teamed diplomatically w/ the onetime Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, Henry Kissinger, and saved Israel during the ’73 Yom Kippur War) getting all hot & bothered under those bright TV lights while discussing his finances (“I am not a crook!”) and Watergate and what-not at press conferences. That’s how Harvard legal eagle Allan Dershowitz comes across nowadays. All hot & bothered, sweaty and itchy, enough to actually owe to preferring to keep his underwear on during massages, while in the next breath also professing to actually not really enjoy getting massages anyway.
One rumour has it Epstein died of a self-administered karate chop to his throat, thereby destroying his windpipe, and so cutting off all oxygen to the brain (take it from there…) and hence bringing on his sudden death.
EWS goes a good distance in showing viewers the nature of a powerful moneyed elite and how they get their jollies. And how one of their professional enablers gets too close for comfort to their doings and narrowly escapes being offed for his temerity.
The Saudi inner circle failed to kill a single Washington Post journalist w/o them being exposed for all the world to see. To suggest now that their peers within the Kingdom could manage pull off 9/11 — and get a pass, moreover, from US opinion- and decision-makers, is absolutely preposterous. Like EM states in his column, the Saudi Kingdom relies on foreign experts for technical expertise, as well as the masses imported from abroad for the “dirty jobs”. Planning and executing 9/11 would surely be above their capacity, except as bankrollers.
Margolis as usual untangles the grisly plot behind the Big Powers’ Middle East intrigue.
Chief Rabbi Mirvis attitude somewhat recalls Dr Joachim Prinz, a Zionist Jew and the leader of Germany’s Jewish community, who in 1934 published Wir Juden, a book hailing the ascendency of Hitler’s Nazi Party as an outcome that was good for Jews, ending their drift toward assimilation and intermarriage. (What goes around comes around.)

Most writings, however interesting, may not or do not truly matter. Being banned from Facebook is, in effect, telling us that the Unz Review matters. Is important enough to be gagged, silenced, censored. Take it as a kind of left-handed compliment.
The new life New York Post has given to the Hunter Biden file, after stumbling on a trove of pics & emails showing Hunter at his most degenerate and compromised, THAT may end up being the big October Surprise game-changer!…
Barrie Zwicker’s 9/11 book Towers of Deception devotes a lot of space to documenting how Noam Chomsky is/was comfortable talking out of both sides of his mouth, contradicting himself along the way. Here he is again, shilling for Big Pharma like some drill sargeant who brooks no dissent (unless you want to end up in the brig).
Thought projects its own opposite. That is, it has a mechanical and electro-chemical properties. Since the 1960s, we’ve seen the anti-Jewish animus of the masses, so commonplace during the ‘1920s, -30s, -40s & -50s, evolve into strongly pro-Jewish and, by extension, pro-Israel attitudes. But now it seems a critical mass has been reached with all of the endless knee falls in the direction of ubiquitous Jewish power & influence. There’s a reaction building, the law of physics is asserting itself. Philo-Semitism, it appears, is dredging up its long-suppressed opposite. My sense is when that dam breaks, it’ll be hard, if not impossible, to return to the old pretend civility, to restore the former status quo.
Consider the lurid aspects of the Holocaust story. Jewish soap made from the fat of dead Jews. The lampshades made from Jewish skin. And so on. Outrageous tales one cannot challenge on pain of you being denounced as an anti-Semite.
What about Starbucks? Isn’t it in Israel’s corner, too, and hence seeing a loss of revenue & steep drop in its customer base?
As curses go, this one is the most poignant:
May your teeth fall out before Thanksgiving!
Zionism, as Chris Hedges reminds us, is fundamentally genocidal. An ideology that translates into inevitable crimes against humanity, war crimes, wholesale destruction of the Other.
Sicko Israelis riot in support of the, uh, “right” to rape & torture:
Jews sticking together? Pfffttt!!! An affirmation rife with sentimental conceit. Jewish Kapos in Nazi concentration camps ruthlessly exploited and abused Jewish inmates in captivity to gain favour with their SS overlords.
A recent ADL study surveyed over 58,000 adults from 103 countries & territories representing 94% of the world’s adult population finding that 46% of them which when extrapolated to the global population equals around 2.2 billion people who display classic antisemitic attitudes!
