RSSSeriously, it’s extremely interesting reading all these viewpoints and challenges as an American of Jewish heritage. Since I began earning over $20/hour late in life, I’m not nearly a billionaire. Have little to no influence other than if I write something in an online forum or Tweets.
It’s weird to read about “me” as an existential threat, but it’s interesting to grasp the context, of past harms done by “my people” who I pretty much don’t know any other than immediate siblings. It makes more sense than “irrational hate”.
I’m not a Bolshevik. I do believe in economic justice for workers, but that’s kinda universal without Bolshevism. I would never want to see anyone hurt – except if that person was hurting or killing others, as the “crime” pages on this site testify.
I worked with ethnic Russians at a computer place. They were nice people, helped me learn. One young guy taught me a bunch of Russian swear words and pranked me into saying “harashow grodies” when the owner’s sister was walking nearby.
I never read the Talmud.
I can’t and won’t claim to *be* Christian but I do repeat The Lord’s Prayer frequently … ok, confess, in AA meetings where that’s the custom. I learned that Lord’s Prayer in my 20s. It’s a good prayer in terms of the ideas it contains, ideas which should be called “spiritual”, regardless of anyone’s belief or lack of belief in any “supernatural” entity. To the extent that “God” exists, that would be a natural aspect of being human, imo, not supernatural woo.
Also, killing the Buddha on the road doesn’t literally mean murdering Prince Siddhartha.
I’m sorry about all this shit that happened in human history before I crawled out of the womb. Not personally apologizing for wrongs I didn’t commit, but still feel terrible about the victims and I hope it isn’t repeated .. or rather, hope the repetition in future history is as minimal as it can possibly be.
Thanks to everyone for being candid.
It's not about YOU per se, though an average Jew, with an income of nearly 100,000, does make more than $20 an hour. The fact is powerful Jews will likely look down you as a 'dumb Jew'. That said, rich Jews do care about lesser Jews more than rich whites care about lesser whites, and that's something. We goyim don't see YOU, an individual, as an 'existential threat'. Indeed, if all or most Jews were like you, whites and Jews would likely get along. Most people want to peacefully co-exist with others, even folks of different ethnicity, in a sound and stable system. Even under Nazi rule, most German individuals were like you. They were not fire-breathing Nazi monsters. They were working stiffs who got up every morning, went to work, returned home to family, and relaxed, then did the same the next day. But Germany was then under Hitler's rule, and Hitler could be batshit crazy. National Socialist elites guided Germanic energies towards dark ends. In a typical socio-political order, most individuals are powerless and end up serving the agenda of the rulers. So, even anti-Nazi Germans ended up working and paying taxes to support Nazism. And most Jewish individuals end up supporting Jewish Power. One reason is relative powerlessness of the masses(who are like herds of cattle without control of levers and steering wheel of power), but the other reason is most people, with free will and left to their own devices, will choose their own side(as the devil they know or feel familiar with) over the other side. Even as they know their cabal of elites are plenty flawed and even rotten, they figure its rule is preferable to being conquered and/or controlled by the other side. Even Jewish Israelis who are deeply critical of Zionist rule would rather be ruled by Jewish elites than by Arab overlords. And this is why many Jewish individuals continue to support Jewish power. Furthermore, even as they know much of it is rotten, they nevertheless feel a pride of power — the incredible fact of Jews as 2% of America controlling the greatest power in the world — and a paranoia for the Other, the potential new pogromites or 'nazis', if goyim were to regain elite power. Indeed, this is why Germans and Japanese also supported their regimes to the very end in WWII. What if the conquering Russians kill or rape all Germans? What if victorious Americans wipe out all Japanese? Also, even though a single German was like most other 'ordinary individual' around the world, there was a certain tendency within Germanic Teutonism to push things too far. It's like one straw on a camel's back is nothing, but enough of them will break its back. Even though Nazism and its horrors were not inevitable and could have been avoided(without defeat in WWI and the ensuing economic depression), there was still something powerful and irrational in German national character that, under certain circumstances, could cast a dark shadow over the world. It's like one little flame is nothing, but if you combine the flames together, it can form into ag massive pyre that can burn down a forest.

I believe you, but you don't have to read the thing to be affected by it. Talmudic attitudes and outlook have seeped into so much of Jewish life that, even without having read it, many Jews live it in so many Jews(and this true of secular as well as religious Jews). It's like most communists never read Das Kapital but its ideas defined so much of communist life. And plenty of Christians, incredible as it may sound, never read all(or any) of the New Testament, not least because so many goyim were illiterate over the ages. But its tenets still colored many aspects of their lives. In a way, the problem now is less with Jews than with goyim. Instead of trying to make Jews be like goyim, we should try to make goyim be like Jews. Why should Jews want to be like goyim when so many goyim are so stupid and pathetic? Arabs can't get their act together. Japanese have tentacle porn as culture. Russians are lazy drunkards. Mexicans are garbage-tossing tards. Even the once great Germans and Anglos are castrated cucks. So, why should Jews try to be like them? No, we should all strive to be like Jews. Now, this isn't easy because most goyim don't have Jewish intelligence. But they can still emulate the next most potent thing about Jews: Chutzpah and covenant. Whites must think like Sean Connery in UNTOUCHABLES, written by Jewish David Mamet no less. If the enemy brings a knife to a fight, you bring a gun. If they push, you push back harder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPZ6eaL3S2EThe problem is goyim hasn't been pushing back against Jews. When Jews push, goyim must push back. Also, Jews got the Covenant that says they have a special contract with the ultimate power. The problem with Christianity and Islam is their versions of the 'covenant' are too bland and broad, shared with too large a population. I mean how can whites preserve their unique identity and power if their Christo-Covenant must be shared with Negroes, yellows, browns, and etc? No, just like Jews have a JEWISH covenant, whites must have a WHITE covenant, and this will require a white man of prophetic power who communes with the ultimate power and then brings this truth to his people. (Imagine what Hitler might have been capable of if he'd spoken for all whites, Germanics and Slavs and Latins and even pro-white Jews, instead of just for the Nordics and 'Aryans'.) He must be a river to his people. But do whites have a prophetic soul? Maybe the Germans once did. After all, unlike Greeks and Romans who lacked the Big Picture and emphasized individualism — on grounds that after you died, you just ended up in Hades and that was that — , Germanic mythology had a grand vision of fate and destiny whereby all the great warriors of Valhalla would unite once again to fight the final battle. It was such bigness of vision that made impassioned Germans the greatest musical composers. And it's no wonder that Richard Wagner and Nietzsche were both Germans. And it was Jews in Germanosphere who developed the most powerful ideas, even if dangerous. Could French or Italian culture have produced a Marx? (Also, it was the German quasi-prophet Martin Luther who altered the history of Christianity with a defiant vision of his own.) Jews have long had prophetic power, but this was magnified under Germanic influence. Granted, the problem with Germanic prophecy was its excessive doom-and-gloom, a fatalistic nihilism that unsurprisingly led to the hyper-Wagnerian excesses of Hitler. The awesome side of Hitler couldn't have been possible if he were moderate, but a bit of moderation could have saved National Socialism from itself. Now, goyim can't be smart like Jews just because they want to be. But even the un-smart can work on chutzpah and covenant. After all, even the idiot Arabs produced a great prophet in the figure of Muhammad. White folks need a White Muhammad who attains the covenant for his people. As Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain't bad. Blacks are proof that chutzpah goes a long way(and homos are proof of the power of Poopchutespah). Even though blacks don't make much sense, they always push back when they are criticized. Jews easily run roughshod over apologetic whites, but even a bunch of angry Jews can't make Al Sharpton budge because the wildass Negro hollers back. And look how Ace Rothstein is frozen with fear when Nicky Santoro uses greaser-chutzpah on him. Anglos were never up for that kind of push-back. This is why Jews run circles around Anglo-types in Marx Brothers movies. But imagine what would happen if Groucho and Chico tried to do a number on Nicky Santoro or Tommy(in GOODFELLAS). If Anglo elites had talked to Jews like Nicky does with Ace Rothstein, they'd still have the power. But they had to keep their 'dignity' at all costs. Now, dignity, or true dignity, is about standing your ground with integrity and pushing back against BS. It's not about staying 'clean' by the art of 'reputation'. For Anglos, 'dignity' really means haute status, and that's why they focus on perception than conviction. So, if the New Normal says globo-homo is the New Dignity, Anglos immediately go along with that to maintain their conceit of 'dignity'. They regard 'dignity' as dress and gown than body and soul. Look how Charles Murray the bald-headed cuck-fool supported 'gay marriage' when it became the fashionable thing among elites. In contrast, even though blacks are dumber and poorer than whites, they hold their own against Jews because they push back and possess a special sense of black covenant called FOABP, or Fear of a Black Planet to scare 'honkeys' with, though one might call it POTA or Planet of the Africans.https://youtu.be/b2dewDwIQyM?t=50https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNSNLXNnx-oThere are two kinds of people in the world. Owners and the owned. Masters and Slaves. Masters own, slaves are owned. When we consider the Jewish Worldview, it is to be owners of the world. But before you own others, you must own yourself. You must see yourself as special, not a commodity to be traded. And your people must treat others of the tribe as fellow owners. Jews developed this sense via the Covenant that said even the lowest humble Jew was equally precious in the eyes of God the Almighty who didn't favor some Jew simply because he was richer than others. Thus, every Jew, even a lowly Jew, felt that he owned himself as a human. He wasn't owned by others. The only power that owns him is God. In contrast, goy orders were made of masters and slaves. Masters owned the slaves, the minions, the rabble who had no autonomous self-worth. (Also, the elites felt as owners ONLY IF they retained political/military power over the minions. Without worldly power, they felt as worthless.) So, only the elites felt as owners whereas the masses felt as the owned. This was Russia under the Tsars. The Tsar was the master, albeit supposedly a benevolent patriarch, over the masses of Russians who were deemed childlike and cattle-like. Most Russians felt owned by the Tsar and the nobility, and this mentality lingered even after serfdom was abolished. It is then hardly surprising that a single Jew in Russia had 100x the confidence and will-power of an average Russian. Communism didn't help matters. Though it spoke of liberation, Russians just became owned by the Iron State ruled by the likes of Lenin and Stalin as new master-owners.In contrast to Russia/USSR, the US imbued its citizens with the sense of ownership. And yet, even this couldn't stand up to Jewish power because Anglo-American concept of ownership was centered on individuality, dry letter of the law, property rights, and opportunity. In other words, it was bound to lead to atomization and the Coming Apart along class lines. Also, the excessive emphasis on property rights meant that consumers obsessed with commodities could themselves become human commodities whose only value is economic or GDP-related. No wonder we hear stuff like, "Great Replacement is okay as long as economic activity goes up." Also, excessive materialist-individualism meant that rich Americans would feel as winners or uber-masters, while poorer Americans would feel as abject 'losers' or servant-class.
I never read the Talmud.
1. Founders believed that real money ONLY comes from banks. Treasury can mint coins but not create money — not without an Amendment to Article One.
2. Congress created Federal Reserve to fund govt spending for Capitalism in general and wars. Congress has changed the Law re Fed almost 250 times.
3. Fed is independent in the sense that the USPS is independent, it doesn’t get a budget.
Fed is autonomous in the sense that the US military is autonomous, Congress doesn’t vote daily on specific military operations, only on declaring war (if that). Fed has autonomy to run daily operations, like deciding whether to increase or decrease daily reserve balances to hit the interest rate they choose. Fed can keep a steady interest rate — like cruise control on your car — but Fed CANNOT control the overall money supply, that’s decisions of the Market .. borrowers and banks.
4. Federal Reserve marks up interest from T-Secs in it’s own accounts. Fed pays itself interest. Fed annually gives 100% of total net profits from all sources, including fees paid by banks, directly to Treasury. Bank of England is presumably same.
5. Fed CANNOT BE OWNED by anyone. Congress’ Law requires Fed to issue shares, but shares cannot be traded by brokers, can’t be sold in any stock exchange, nobody can buy Fed shares. Fed shares MUST be purchased by all commercial & retail banks (not stock market banks that do mergers) and then HELD. No voting rights. No takeover powers. Share owners get a 6% annual dividend, per Congress’ Law.
Y’know what that is? A security deposit for bank corporations to operate under the Fed franchise.
6. Conservatives in 1913 complained that the Fed was TOO DEMOCRATIC, because it has to answer to Congress, and President appoints leadership. Conservatives didn’t want such a “communist” relationship between Fed and Govt, they wanted Fed to be completely independent like all for-profit private banks, like the National Bank that Alexander Hamilton helped found.
6. Fed is SUPPOSED TO regulate private banks so they don’t commit fraud or screw up the economy, but Fed Chairmen like Bernanke and Geithner have adopted an “Ayn Rand” ultra-libertarian conservative viewpoint on banking – thanks, Alan Greenspan — so they believe the financial system should answer to ONLY Market Forces (investors & speculators & CEOs), and NOT be subject to any democratic govt regulations.
Like how Limbaugh hates “regulations” and “regulators” and GOP crushed even the modest post-Crash regulations.
Greg Mankiw, Bush’s advisor and economist, and others of his ilk, have argued and taught classes that FINANCIAL FRAUD by banks should NOT be a crime, because fraud is a normal part of doing business .. investors are smart and will “weed out” fraud … like they weeded out fraud during the Housing Bubble before that peaked and collapsed. Not!
CEOs reveled in fraud, because it was short-term profitable, throwing off instant gigantic bonuses. If banking collapsed in the future, so what? Not their problem.
7. Since 5000 BC when Man first started living in agricultural communities — before anyone could refine ore and make coins — leaders who were smart were able to count and do arithmetic, they kept community economic records scratched on rocks or on bones, of financial transactions. These were primitive spreadsheets. Symbols initially were crops, later nominal “money”.
Debts & Credits, and Assets & Liabilities were recorded.
NO FINANCIAL ASSETS COULD EXIST WITHOUT CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL LIABILITIES SOMEWHERE ON THE SPREADSHEET.
This is bookkeeping, not fraud. Sorry for anyone who can’t understand that. It’s not that hard. I learned addition and subtraction at age 6, multiplication by age 10.
8. Banks *do* create credit “out of thin air” so to speak but it’s out of contracts signed by qualified borrower. In history, when lenders lent out capital they owned, interest rates even to elites was 40% to as much as 70%. The current system allows interest rates to be 3% to 10% and higher for higher risk. The current system allows credit to be cheap so that credit somewhat is compatible with Capitalism & rates of annual profits.
Payday lenders that aren’t banks and loan out capital charge poor people 500%.
When YOU sign a loan contract, the bank counts that as assets. The bank creates a deposit in your name, which the bank counts as liabilities. That’s how it works. The main way to screw the whole banking system is refuse to borrow anything … makes it difficult though, you need a credit card to rent a car or hotel, you need a credit rating to get a card .. but you don’t have to borrow with it.
You can save up your pennies and pay cash for a house. Difficult but possible. My friend bought a house for $2000 in the ghetto and used sweat equity to fix the leaky destroyed roof and make it liveable.
Banks profit because people & businesses WANT cheap credit.
Banks are also necessary because credit is functionally necessary for Capitalism to work, in core principle, because Capitalists borrow to invest to create value — initially a harvest in the fall– that didn’t exist before — during planting in the spring. In the days Michael Hudson describes, credit was created BY the Priests and Warlords who had become Govt, and it was known that both credit and periodic writedowns were necessary because the most important thing was growing enough food for the community — AND THE ARMY — to survive.
national debt is merely net savings of everyone stored in Treasury accounts
