RSSSpeaking of Amazon, I remember buying a few books from Loompanics, a now defunct bookshop in Washington state. Several titles by Uncle Fester, and a short pamphlet by Adam Cash, Johnny ‘s brother I think.
A nice wikipedia entry on the site is up, oddly does not label the founder as a right wing extremist, I’ll have to find my credentials and go in and fix that. Boing boing did a nice follow up on their FBI file. I’m skeptical, but interesting none the less

I really liked Henry Millers ‘Tropic of Cancer’. His other work not so much. But it did help with understanding certain things about the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company.
It was likely pre-cognition that led me there.
True. WASPS like Biden, Comey, Roberts, Brennan, Anglin, etc. Shut them down.
Although I do have a soft spot for RFK Jr.
Glad it’s so easy to separate the chaff from the wheat. Especially if you were born with the umbilical cord around your neck.
Walking women want to see the Southern Cross at night.
And so they set aside a sock, and tied their laces tight.
Yes, mournful is the melody that echoes in their heads.
Without a beat, they march along believing Trump is dead.
TRUMP IS DEAD
It’s like pea soup out there! (Pilot hoping he would not have to fly that evening. )
Newhart was the very definition of droll.
It was set in Chicago, as I recall.
So was Kelsey Grammer informed by this? Something inherently humorous about psychiatry. That’s what the pills are for.
Eclipses have historically portended regime change, so we’ve got that going for us.
Or try this- If we could access the molten iron core of the Earth, we could have ‘free’ energy for about 1 billion years or until it cools off, whichever comes first. No matter how much NAC and Glycine Josh takes, he’s not going to be here for that.
But one has to get through 30 miles of crust in most places before that can happen.
I noticed the same thing.
I did have a twat account, was banned for posting Geto Boys lyrics.
“Niggas hanging deep in the cut’.. sippin on a forty ounce of gut, aint shit change in my hood since eighty seven, ….. when we were sworn into the click…. Def NOT another dumb boogie band from Texas…. but I might be Mistaken!
Narrator: I Refuse to be a Victim, etc..
But reading a lot of sites which put twitter comments inline, if i clicked it was throttled, especially if it was video.
This stopped a day or two ago. So agree with you unanimous 960 .
I did like twitter. Had many convo’s with TES (the Ethical Skeptic) before he blew up. Also other regular people who I felt like I connected with .
I’m old enough to remember when my Palestinian /American Professor of Islam at Temple being murdered in his Cheltenham township home. I believe his wife and daughter also suffered injuries. He was quite outspoken about the existence of the state of Isearel. An Indonesian student was later convicted of the crime, and subsequently died in prison.
I had him for a survey course in Western civ, he was one of the most brilliant lecturers I had the pleasure of hearing speak. Being Temple U, it was mostly pearls before swine, Phila public HS grads, lol. Minds filled with Catholic things. Oh noes! did Professor just say all the Romans did was build a few roads? There were other civilizations before Rome? Who Knew?
Reading Ron Unz’ takes on having a bias to normal thought upended, I have started to wonder about this crime in the same manner.
I had read a piece by Alex Berenson regarding the Hamas attack. There is also a piece up with Tucker interviewing him.
He seems like a quite intelligent and thoughtful person.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-the-sexual-atrocities-hamas-committed
This account by Gettleman, printed in the NYT’s, whom Alex says he knows personally, is heavily disputed by the Grey Zone, (Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, )
I want to like Berenson, and I do, but I also like the truth. Which can be challenging to find.
Somehow, should our dear host, Mr. Unz, see my note, is it possible to get Gettleman, Unz, Berenson, and Blumenthal together in a room? lol, unintentionally four Jewish folks.
Berenson seems like a totally dishonest shill to me and I only glanced at his nonsense. Here's what I'd written a week ago on those ridiculous Hamas rape stories:
He seems like a quite intelligent and thoughtful person.

This account by Gettleman, printed in the NYT’s, whom Alex says he knows personally, is heavily disputed by the Grey Zone, (Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, )

The latest wave of very doubtful claims has focused upon second-hand stories of Hamas gang-rapes and sexual mutilations. These accounts only came to light two months after the events in question and lacked any supportive forensic evidence, with many of the claims coming from the same individuals behind the beheaded babies hoax, suggesting that they are equally desperate propaganda ploys. Journalists Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, and others have discussed the extreme credulity of the Times and other media outlets in promoting these blatantly fraudulent stories...
Meanwhile, consider the very strong evidence from silence. According to news reports, small GoPro cameras were worn by the attacking Hamas militants, which recorded all their activities, and the Israelis recovered many of these from their bodies and began carefully examining hundreds of hours of this extensive video footage. They surely would have soon released a video compilation providing any incriminating evidence that they found, yet I’m not aware of a single public clip that shows any such brutal atrocities or mass killings, strongly suggesting that very little of that occurred. Indeed, the Gray Zone demonstrated that the main photograph provided of an allegedly raped and murdered Israeli woman actually turned out to be that of a female Kurdish fighter from years earlier that had been plucked off the Internet, demonstrating the apparent desperation and dishonesty of the pro-Israel propagandists promoting these stories.
On Thursday, The New York Times recounted in awful detail the sexual atrocities the men of Gaza committed during Hamas’s October 7 raid into Israel.
I know Jeffrey Gettleman, who had the piece’s lead byline. He is a serious reporter who served with distinction for many years in Africa. He doesn’t exaggerate.
Which is good, because the Times’s descriptions of these crimes nearly beggar belief. They go beyond rape, or gang rape, or even the execution of prisoners. As described by witnesses who survived, and confirmed by video and forensic evidence, Hamas’s attackers turned murder and torture into can-you-top-this sport:
The first victim she said she saw was a young woman with copper-color hair, blood running down her back, pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back.
These tweets might be read into the record at his Senate confirmation hearing for his cabinet position in the Trump administration. Did he really think this through?
Sure, I'm certainly familiar with the famous ulcer case. But there's a huge difference.
Did Druesberg volunteering to be injected with HIV really materialize, as was done by the Australian scientist Barry Marshall who ingested Helicobacter pylori for a definitive proof of the cause of stomach ulcers? Marshall and his co-author Robin Warren were justifiably awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine.
Well allow me to retort.
Your obeisance to science is multi faceted.
On the one hand, Mr. Unz, you reject the fallacy of deference to credentialed persons. Degrees from Harvard, Yale, Cal etc.
Then in an immediate about face, you present as proven experts, people like Kary Mullis, always with the appellation, of a Nobel Prize winner. In fact you bring up four ‘Nobel Prize’ winners to buttress your arguments.
So which is it, dear sir?
Every time I see Mullis presented, I like to inform the uneducated about the Cetus Corporation.
Possibly Mullis was high on LSD, when he came up with his idea. Brilliant fellow by all accounts.
HOWEVER. He was never able to actually make his idea work, there was another team at Cetus who actually did the engineering required. Asshole Mullis never mentioned them in his Nobel acceptance speech.
He spent the rest of his life talking to glowing raccoons. Which is kinda cool. But an insult to trash hounds.
I thoroughly enjoyed this article, having lived in Philadelphia for at least 3 decades. I was surprised to read that the East Falls housing project was designed by Louis Kahn. Fact check- It was not. Yes, he did have a professional relationship with the architect of record, Oskar Stonorov, but that had ended in 1947.
Instead, the author goes to great lengths the slander Louis Kahn, in order to buttress his thesis about Jews and American society. I do remember that housing project, like most of these Bauhaus inspired buildings, not only was it a disaster for the people housed there, it blighted the entire area down Ridge Avenue to Midvale Ave and beyond. At that time I had a PE (professional Engineer) friend who had received an RFP (request for proposal), I remember him amused since one need an armed detail to tour the building. lol no thanks.
No need to see the film, not shot in Philly.
AI answers- No, “The Brutalist” was not filmed in Philadelphia. The majority of the film was shot in Hungary, with some scenes filmed in Carrara, Italy, and Venice, Italy. The production team chose Hungary because they believed it could better portray a historical Philadelphia, and they used archival footage to enhance the setting. I am surprised you did not devote more ink to this. THIS is the typical Hollywood BS. Everything fake and gey. Reminds me of the film ‘A history of violence’ In that picture, the protagonist travels back to Philadelphia, to confront his former mob boss. One shot, down on 291, near the Philadelphia airport, thats it. Second unit crew. Pathetic. Get back on the plane to LA. 10th and Wolf, shot in Pittsburgh.
OK so you hate modernist architecture. Important to remember- Buildings are like whores- If they can last long enough they become respectable.
The main complaint against Kahn -aside from the building he did not design- is that he screwed an intern at the office while married to someone else. Did you see his visage, his facial scarring? Can a nigga get a break around here? Infidelity is not exclusive to Jewish immigrants to America. Anyway, for anyone interested, I recommend the film ‘My Architect’ made by Louis Kahn’s son.
I am reminded of the 60’s movie ‘Beneath the Planet of the Apes’, when the Simian Army approaches the hidden fortress of the mutant humanoids in order to destroy it. The Mutants use mind control projection directed at the Ape Army to dispirit them with images of their sacred symbol alighted with flames, among other things.
Finally it turns out their minds are too primitive to grasp the images, and this is the only defense the mutants have, with one exception- they retreat back into their church where they worship a golden nuclear armed missile, and prepare for its launch.
Point being to the title of the article- Predicting what comes after deep seek, first off- a whole lotta porn, psychological, visceral and mostly political. Millenniums later, it will be known as the Silicon Age Collapse.
I think its already well established that MR. Trump will do as his wealthy Zionist donors direct. So now this class of billionaires have their knives out for the Ivies, apparently over perceived support of Hamas. What is of course ironic is these institutions are arguably bastions of Jewish culture and society at this point, again, as has been elucidated at UNZ review.
Anyway, I’m making a big bowl of popcorn.
The argument will be complete when you present the counter-factual case. And I do honestly want to hear and see and weigh the evidence.
Let us weigh both arguments.
Unz claims there were no ‘death camps’
Others claim that the third Reich did in fact have a state sponsored program of murder.
I’m doing a thought experiment.
Is it possible that in the future scholars looking through archives, will determine that there was no genocide in Gaza?
;Files declassified in the 2000s showed that Strakosch provided large financial gifts to Churchill in 1938 and 1940,[6][7] which enabled Churchill to pay off his vast debts and to withdraw his Kent home Chartwell from sale at a time of severe financial pressures.[5] Nazi propaganda exploits this to claim that Churchill was under the control of Jewish bankers, an anti-Semitic trope also repeated by Holocaust denialists such as David Irving.’
If I know my tropes as well as I know my memes,
I will not wet my pants in my dreams.
Copied from the Wikipedia article on Strakosch.

Thats interesting Kevin, I had kind of figured that out 30 years ago, that it was inevitable that the ‘West’ would move closer to Islam, if for no other reason than the sort of decline in moral standards, institutional decay, intellectual exhaustion, etc. that we have been seeing for some time. Although many Islamic countries are suffering the same, its only fair to point out.
Also thanks so much for the Linh Dinh interview. I had only found out about him from reading UNZ review. Reading his writing is so pleasurable, that is the word that comes to mind. I remember him writing about his falling out with UNZ, likely from some insulting comments here. The one he quoted was sort of over the top insulting, but I also found it very humorous. I wish I could find it now. I later discovered I used to frequent the same bar in Philadelphia that Linh haunted. Linh prefers to not be gratuitously insulted, I think it is his right to not want to hear such things. But it Was funny.
Speaking of Philadelphia, I was a Temple University undergrad, I had a Western Studies survey class- required- that was taught by Is’mail al-Faruqui. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ismail_al-Faruqi
I then took an Ancient Near Eastern religions course with him. Just an encyclopedic knowledge of history and everything in between. Also a great lecturer.
Tragically, he was murdered in his home in Cheltenham- same place where Bibi lived for some years- by a schizophrenic student who later died in prison. Now I am no conspiracy theorist, but I have my suspicions.
At one point in the semester his wife came to lecture, she was an art historian. Very elegant poised older woman. Could easily have been mistaken for an Episcopalian. lol.
In closing, indicting all of Islam for some of the excesses of fanatics would be like condemning the Scottish Presbyterians for the Spanish inquisition.
This is correct, Tylenol was recommended to be used as a prophylactic before vaccination. WHO in 2007. It no longer is, but if the ̶v̶i̶c̶t̶i̶m̶ er um, child, develops a fever it is still recommended. Glutathione is the so called ‘master antioxidant’ and is severely depleted by Tylenol. In fact, Tylenol overdose is treated with IV glutathione. Indeed this is correct, I believe it is a synergistic effect that is causing at least some of the autism epidemic.
Wow amazing amount of vitriol directed at Josh. I had always thought of him as a brilliant and open minded person. And I’m not being sarcastic. Open minded in the sense that every scientific theory can and should be scrutinized. Is 3I/Atlas after passing perihelion going to meet up with us as we round the Sun? Time will tell.
Speaking of Zionism, Israel has really shot itself in the foot here. The real fallout is how much they have endangered ordinary Jews worldwide. So I’m not that interested in Jews v Zionists.
It was from reading Josh’ work that I came to order some Rapamycin. Once a week, 1 MG after some grapefruit juice. Its not the best MTOR drug out there, but I was able to order some from an overseas pharmacy. Ironically, while Josh has been exploring life extension, he should have been paying closer attention to bicycle safety. He was seriously injured riding one in Mt Airy. So speaking of soil bacteria, and Easter Island, another famous Mt. Airy resident would be the scientist Albert Schatz, since deceased. He had been working for Selman Waksman, and did the lab work for the discovery of Streptomycin, found in a particular soil bacteria. Waksman demonstrated the personality traits many commentators here are on about. Shatz had to go to court to get the recognition he deserved.

As you ride up Lincoln Drive, near the top, around a bend the Germantown Jewish center comes into view. I personally think is quite a stunning piece of architecture, looks like and ancient city gate or walled fortress decorated with Hebrew lettering.

Pretty sure they have a ‘Palestinian Lives Matter billboard up now. Just can’t seem to find it though.
