    @Sam Coulton

    It's fun to see what happens when someone who does not understand something (you and the word "prove", apparently) chooses to debate it.


    The DNA report obviously did not indicate that “at best” a Jefferson male was the father, as it definitively established that the Hemmings’s descendants carry the same incredibly rare Y-DNA haplogroup T as the jefferson line, found ln less than 3% of British males. There’s no way a Jefferson male isn’t the father given their association with the Jefferson
     
    Right. In other words, it indicates a Jefferson male was the father. Which was what I said.

    Leaving aside all of the subjective judgments and oral history and focusing on the DNA evidence. And remember that Y-chromosome testing can not distinguish related males with a common ancestor in the male lines (absent new mutations, the Nature paper has some useful discussion of a mutation case).

    Your first link contains a good summary of the study:

    The study--which tested Y-chromosomal DNA samples from male-line descendants of Field Jefferson (Thomas Jefferson's uncle), John Carr (grandfather of Jefferson's Carr nephews), Eston Hemings, and Thomas Woodson--indicated a genetic link between the Jefferson and Hemings descendants. The results of the study established that an individual carrying the male Jefferson Y chromosome fathered Eston Hemings (born 1808), the last known child born to Sally Hemings. There were approximately 25 adult male Jeffersons who carried this chromosome living in Virginia at that time, and a few of them are known to have visited Monticello.
     
    It also goes on to assert (assertion is very different from proof--and "proved" was the word you used!):

    The study's authors, however, said "the simplest and most probable" conclusion was that Thomas Jefferson had fathered Eston Hemings.
     
    So we have 25 candidates, two of whom seem most likely: Thomas and Randolph Jefferson (but see comments about Randolph's sons in other sources below).

    Here is a link to the full text of that Nature article: https://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Goldberg/HC70A_W04/pdf/Foster_Nature_1998.pdf

    Basically you’re finished, just go ahead and admit that you are some kind of mentally defective screwball who has an odd obsession with fighting an uphill battle against the scientific consensus that Jefferson is the male ancestor of Hemmings’s descendants, and who chooses to exhalt crackwhore-quality “dissenters” over over the people who have set the consensus in stone.
     
    Ad hominems--the best way ever to say to someone arguing with you: "you win."

    I stand by my words and you have done nothing to refute them. In particular the following two statements:

    1. The DNA evidence does not prove that Thomas Jefferson was Eston Hemmings father. And says little concrete about the parentage of her other children.

    2. The reality is we don’t know for sure and probably never will.

    I would also add that the DNA evidence disagrees with the family history which indicated Thomas Jefferson was the father of Thomas Woodson (well assuming no cuckolds in the family line, anyway). Worth remembering that when considering other family history about Thomas Jefferson descendants.

    Now leaving aside your incorrect usage of the word "proved", what seems likely?

    The DNA evidence indicates that neither of the Carr nephews (sons of Jefferson's sister) were the father of Eston Hemings. This had been suggested by Jefferson family history and was the favorite non-TJ hypothesis before the DNA analysis became available.

    Your first link mentions some relevant reports:


    Shortly after the DNA test results were released in November 1998, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation formed a research committee consisting of nine members of the foundation staff, including four with Ph.D.s. In January 2000, the committee reported that the weight of all known evidence—from the DNA study, original documents, written and oral historical accounts, and statistical data—indicated a high probability that Thomas Jefferson was the father of Eston Hemings, and that he was likely the father of all six of Sally Hemings's children listed in Monticello records—Harriet (born 1795; died in infancy); Beverly (born 1798); an unnamed daughter (born 1799; died in infancy); Harriet (born 1801); Madison (born 1805); and Eston (born 1808).

    Since then, a committee commissioned by the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society, after reviewing essentially the same material, reached different conclusions, namely that Sally Hemings was only a minor figure in Thomas Jefferson's life and that it is very unlikely he fathered any of her children. This committee also suggested in its report, issued in April 2001 and revised in 2011, that Jefferson's younger brother Randolph (1755-1815) was more likely the father of at least some of Sally Hemings's children.
     
    Here is a link to the first report and other relevant information: https://www.monticello.org/thomas-jefferson/jefferson-slavery/thomas-jefferson-and-sally-hemings-a-brief-account/research-report-on-jefferson-and-hemings/

    I think this excerpt serves as a summary of that report:

    Although paternity cannot be established with absolute certainty, our evaluation of the best evidence available suggests the strong likelihood that Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings had a relationship over time that led to the birth of one, and perhaps all, of the known children of Sally Hemings.

     

    The second (and most recent) report was released as a book in 2011: https://www.amazon.com/Jefferson-Hemings-Controversy-Report-Scholars-Commission/dp/0890890854
    Here are the first 15 pages: https://cap-press.com/pdf/1179.pdf
    An overview from Amazon:

    In 2000, the newly formed Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society asked a group of more than a dozen senior scholars from across the country to carefully examine all of the evidence for and against the allegations that Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more children by Sally Hemings, one of his slaves, and to issue a public report. In April 2001, after a year of study, the Scholars Commission issued the most detailed report to date on the issue. With but a single mild dissent, the views of the distinguished panel ranged from ''serious skepticism'' to a conviction that the allegation was ''almost certainly false.'' This volume, edited by Scholars Commission Chairman Robert F. Turner, includes the ''Final Report''--essentially a summary of arguments and conclusions--as it was released to the press on April 12, 2001. However, several of the statements of individual views--which collectively total several hundred carefully footnoted pages and constitute the bulk of the book--have been updated and expanded to reflect new insights or evidence since the report was initially released.
     
    I looked harder and found this page which links to a 40 page summary from the book: https://www.tjheritage.org/the-scholars-commission
    It's not possible to cut and paste from that, but I suggest at minimum looking at the final paragraph on page 18.

    The Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society seems like the primary advocate of the not-TJ camp. Here is a page from them on the topic. Oddly it does not seem to mention the report/book they commissioned. Perhaps it was last updated before the book was released?
    https://www.tjheritage.org/dna-hemings

    PBS actually has a good primer topic on the topic. One interesting point is the family declining to have the DNA of William Hemings (Madison Hemings male line descendant) tested.
    https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/true/primer.html

    One possibly relevant piece of information is that Thomas Jefferson was 65 when Eston Hemings was conceived: https://www.tjheritage.org/which-jefferson-was-the-father

    Now after looking at that evidence, what do I think is likely? Much of the evidence (it certainly does seem to be the popular position) suggests (but does not prove) and/or claims that Thomas Jefferson was the father of Eston Hemings (and much makes a blanket claim for all of her children). But the book linked above appears to be the most thoroughly researched piece out there and concludes otherwise. Without having a chance to review its full contents I am not sure what to think.

    Perhaps you could try leaving out the ad hominems in your next response? Unless that is the best you have to offer.

    P.S. You might consider the followup in Nature from those who did the DNA analysis. In particular notice their disavowal of the title of the article you linked.
    https://www.nature.com/articles/16181

    Abstract

    It is true that men of Randolph Jefferson's family could have fathered Sally Hemings’ later children. Space constraints prevented us from expanding on alternative interpretations of our DNA analysis, including the interesting one proposed by Davis. The title assigned to our study was misleading in that it represented only the simplest explanation of our molecular findings: namely, that Thomas Jefferson, rather than one of the Carr brothers, was likely to have been the father of Eston Hemings Jefferson.

    So no response to the actual points I made. Nice. Did you look at any of my links?

    In case it was not clear, I made several assertions.

    1. Nigeria does not have the highest average income in Africa. In SSA South Africa does.
    2. Nigeria only has the highest GDP in Africa because it is a populous country. Measured per capita that looks very different.
    3. Nigerian average IQ is not 84.

    I backed up 3. with a link to the L&V book your link referenced. It does NOT say Nigeria has an average IQ of 84. I followed it up with a link to David Becker's more recent and comprehensive work which gives a variety of numbers around 70.

    That last sentence sounds like some textbook projection. And capping it off with a bunch of ad hominems and poo flinging. Well done!

    Whites have been living in welfare states for longer than Asians and welfare has a dysgenic effect. In recent decades white intelligence is declining especially fast because our birth rates are the highest among the least effective elements of our population, while it’s the lowest among the most effective elements, in fact extremely intelligent people do not have children at all. With ideologies like feminisism permeating our society this decline is accelerating. White IQ was probably in the 115 range some 200 years ago, roughly around the time of the industrial revolution.

Kura and his team argue that this is adaptation to a particular ecology, where it is vital to stay in a tightly_bonded group.

    However, they note that scientific innovators tend to combine very high IQ with an optimally low level of collectivism, low social anxiety and low fearfulness of the new.

    He may be putting the cart before the horse. Whereas the ruling class in China had the plebs more or less under control, the Mongols by opening up the trade routes between China and the West, brought to Europe firearms, which destroyed the power of the nobility, in their steel armour to dominate the plebs and printing and paper to spread subversive ideas. They also brought the magnetic compass and other marine inventions which enabled long voyages, which in turn financed the industrial revolution.

    What is the "genetic" explanation for the millennial conformity to church dogma that preceded the industrial revolution?

    Some South Indian Brahmins have been quiet good at mathematics for a long time. The Kerala school of Mathematics (14th-16th century) did a lot of original research in series expansions of trigonometric functions that also influenced western mathematicians living around 1600. Three hundred years later around 1900 Ramanujan, who was a Tamil, did very impressive work, partly in the same area. He is the only non western mathematician who is in the top fifty of original mathematicians in the period 1650-1950. Nearly thousand years before the Kerala school there was a very advanced school of mathematicians centered around Ujjain in the Malva. It's here that Brahmagupta was the first one to specify rules for arithmetic manipulations that apply to zero as a number. In pre-islamic times this area of India was probably more ethnically South-Indian then it is today.

    India has a national average IQ of 82, which is quite low. However the Brahmin caste has an average IQ of 115 – the highest of any identifiable ethnic group http://www.photius.com/rankings/national_iq_scores_country_ranks.html __ According to Richard Lynn, a British psychologist, and Tatu Vanhanen, a Finnish political scientist

    That is B.S. The Indians going to the USA are highly selected.

    As far as Brahmin mathematics, that is a lot of hype too.

    Of the fitness of the proof to maintain any such conclusions as have been founded upon it, an idea may be formed from this; that Mr. Bentley, who has paid great attention to the books of Hindu astronomy, says they are all of modern date, and their pretensions to antiquity founded only on forgery. As his moderate knowledge of mathematics, however, and even the inelegancies of his style, have been sarcastically employed to throw discredit upon his conclusions, it is of importance to add that the two mathematicians whose reputation for profundity seems to exceed that of all their cotemporaries, Laplace, and an eminent ornament of our country, not only reject the inference of the great antiquity and perfection of the Hindu astronomy, but, from the evidence offered, draw a conclusion directly the reverse; viz. that this science is in the very same state of infancy among the Hindus with all the other branches of knowledge. The Surya Sidhanta is the great repository of the astronomical knowledge of the Hindus. It is on the authority of our own countryman I am enabled to declare, that this book is itself the most satisfactory of all proofs of the low state of the science among the Hindus, and the rudeness of the people from whom it proceeds; that its fantastic absurdity is truly Hindu; that all we can learn from it is a few facts, the result [90] of observations which required no skill; that its vague allegories and fanciful reflections prove nothing, or every thing; that a resolute admirer may build upon them all the astronomical science of modern times; but a man who should divest his mind of the recollection of European discoveries, and ask what a people unacquainted with the science could learn from the Surya Sidhanta, would find it next to nothing.

    The progress of knowledge, and the force of observation, demonstrated the necessity of regarding the actual state of the Hindus as little removed from that of half-civilised nations. The saving hypothesis, however, was immediately adopted, that the situation in which the Hindus are now beheld is a state of degradation; that formerly they were in a state of high civilization; from which they had fallen through the miseries of foreign conquest, and subjugation.

    On the geography and chronology, as parts of the literature of the Hindus, I shall express myself in the language of Mr. Wilford. “The Hindus,” says that celebrated Hindu scholar, “have no regular work on the subject of geography, or none at least that ever came to my knowledge.—I was under a necessity of extracting my materials from their historical poems, or, as they may be called more properly, their legendary tales.” In another place he says, “The Hindu systems of geography, chronology, and history, are all equally monstrous and absurd. The circumference of the earth is said to be 500,000,000 yojanas, or 2,456,000,000 British miles: the mountains are asserted to be 100 yojanas, or 491 British miles high. Hence the mountains to the south of Benares are said, in the Puranas, to have kept the holy city in total darkness, till Matra-deva growing angry at their insolence, they humbled themselves to the ground, and their highest peak now is not more than 500 feet high. In the Calica Purana, it is said that the mountains have sunk considerably, so that the highest is not above one yojana, or five miles high.—When the Puranics speak of the kings [66] of ancient times, they are equally extravagant. According to them, King Yudhishthir reigned 27,000 years; King Nanda is said to have possessed in his treasury above 1,584,000,000 pounds sterling in gold coin alone; the value of the silver and copper coin, and jewels, exceeded all calculation: and his army consisted of 100,000,000 men. These accounts, geographical, chronological, and historical, as absurd and inconsistent with reason, must be rejected.

    The saga surrounding the flight of brahmin doctors (and other professionals) out of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu to other parts of India and the World is quite interesting and revealing.

    The over-representation of brahmins in medicine, engineering and law among US Indians was the status quo in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu as well, 50 years ago Then that state instituted a massive affirmative action program for the majority that was designed almost specifically to handicap the brahmins. There was a huge flight of brahmins out of Tamil Nadu.

    The result was not a disaster for the state as many warned, predicted, and as many here among the IQ worshipers would probably assume.

    Instead the exact opposite happened. More doctors from all other castes were educated , the number of doctors increased many fold, now the state's doctor to population ratio compares favorable with Nordic countries. The state went from being one of the poorest and unhealthiest to one of the richest with a "model" (by Indian standards) heath education and health care delivery system among Indian states.

    In some situations getting rid of the parasitic, although intellectually superior elites helps the majority. India is complex. I have my theories and explanation for this phenomenon, but that is beyond the scope here.

    Perfect is the enemy of good.

    Tulsi Gabbard is not perfect – but she is good. She is good because she is starting a genuine movement for peace – she is the premier voice for ending our regime change wars. God bless her for that.

    The enemies of peace are clamoring for an Iran war that could engulf the world. A WWI scenario could come about where country after country would be dragged into the war.

    It is true that she is a lefty – it is true that she does not hate Israel. It is true she does not like Saudi and maybe Iran. It is also true that she does not want a war between them all.

    It is true that she has not spoken her feelings about Israel and Palestine. It is true that she has wrongly voted against BDS and free speech.

    It is also true that the Jews hate and fear her words – look at how the Jew MSM immorally ignores her. Fear her not - the Jews will never let her become president.

    With all that said, Tulsi is a very savvy politician. She has been campaigning since she was a girl – she went from door to door campaigning with her father at a young age. She was elected to office at 21.

    In the first debate she earned the most attention. In the second debate she perplexed and befuddled Zilla Kamala. She scooped them all by buying a Tulsi 2020 advertisement from CNN during the debate – KUDOS KUDOS!

    All those who are convinced that she is a Zio/Jihadi/Hindu She-Devil, should go to Tulsi 2020 and donate a fiver – just so she can make the next debate interesting (she has 120,000 out of the 130,000 needed).

Having worked in public health for much of my career I have a bit more insight into the disgusting behavior practiced by the males, all of which seem to be coprophilic. None of this is ever mentioned by the media and the list of long forgotten venereal diseases spread to young boys is completely ignored. Thanks to the marketing of deviance by Hollywood perverts, people have simply bought into the vernacular set by the mentally deranged and so-called “gay” lifestyle. Why does what amounts to a man licking/rimming/felching another man's rear constitute some kind of “gay” lifestyle? This hallmark of deep perversion has been demonstrated over and over as these deviants smear themselves with excrement, rim each other, and seek hookups with other male deviants in filthy public restrooms where the stench serves as their aphrodisiac. Appropriate sanitation is completely lacking in the makeup of male homosexuals. But hey, the intelligence of the gay way is here to stay, right? If people were allowed to discuss the public health implications of such behavior and ask why they are banned from giving blood perhaps the alphabet avalanche could be checked.

    Homosexuality Cultural Conquest comes in 5 stages:

    1. TOLERANCE: it means the right to be left alone.
    2. ACCEPTANCE: it means equal status.
    3. CELEBRATION: it means that everyone must accept homosexuality and promote it as a good valuable thing.
    4. FORCED PARTECIPATION: it means that everyone must participate in homosexuality culture.
    5. PUNISHMENT: it means that everyone who disagrees must be punished.

    And Satan emboldened can then tell God: "You wanted me to submit to man and now look at what he's doing, offering me the sacrificial gift that I cherish above everything else: his children's body and soul".

    Does anybody like having his children being taught in primary school that being a sodomite is all right and normal?

    Back close to topic. Were you writing of actions taken in Canada under the influence of Social Credit doctrines?
     
    Alberta's social creditors were beaten by Mammon. (No Jews were involved - I try to be even handed. Or, at least none that I could find, but then I wasn't there.)

    However, Douglas social creditors may have had influence. One of the actions of BOC was to inject credit into households, especially teenagers.

    If you were 16 you were given a monthly stipend, and you had to work or do something useful. Picking up trash along the roads, or helping a neighbor.

    Douglas social credit is an excellent type of economy, and yet the people here at UNZ for the most part do not know what it is. It is also a form of sovereign money.

    Canada ran a pseudo sovereign economy from 38 to 74. That had a state bank that injected debt free credit. Below is some data that might help some of you wake up and take the red pill:
    ____________

    In Canada from 1938 to 1973 there was little to no price inflation. Canada had a sovereign-like money system, where the Crown bank spent debt free into productivity channels.
    A graph of Canada’s debt position is at link below. Take note of the years in question:
    http://qualicuminstitute.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fedebt1.png

    Private bank emissions of credit were limited to four year loans only @ 6%. Canada’s state bank was incorporated in 1935, and became a Crown bank in 1938. What is a crown bank?
    Bank of Canada (BOC) was a crown bank, meaning its stock shares were wholly held in a Trust by Minister of Finance (MOF). In other words, BOC was originally an incorporated private bank, but its shares then became wholly owned by the trust, with MOF as trustee. BOC morphed from being a private bank to a State Bank when the bank shares became owned by the public. BOC then worked for its public and not private shareholders.

    It is true that this is a weak arrangement that can be easily usurped, and that is exactly what happened in 1974, when the Bank of International Settlements came along and demanded Canada return to a private credit money system.

    Prior to 74, MOF would tell BOC Governor to create money debt free. This debt free would be spent by injection into the commons on productivity modes. Commons are those things that everybody uses to improve productivity for whole, like roads, rail, ports, and telecommunications.

    These are things Canada did from 38 to 74: Canada’s small population of 11M built out third largest Navy in WW2 as well, by using debt free of money. In 38 Canada had only 11M people, and by 1974 they had 22M. Building out continental scale railroads, highways, waterways, and all of the other things this population did is astonishing.

    Private Banks are ordered to remove their banknotes from circulation in 1945, and only use tangible bills issued by bank of Canada.

    1) Almost Free Education, especially for returning WW2 Veterans. Improving labor in this way improves productivity. Colleges and Schools had their buildings built with debt free, thus lowering access costs for the general population.
    2) Business loans.
    3) Land Grants. (Land Grants are a way of keeping land from being grabbed by monopoly forces. This was easy in Canada given the amount of land they have.)
    4) St Lawrence Seaway was dredged and improved by adding locks. (Note that Canada spends into their commons, as all governments should.) St. Lawrence Seaway is something like Panama Canal and a significant engineering feat. It allowed an inland seaway to go from Montreal to Lake Ontario, thus improving the shipment of goods and services. Ocean going vessels could then travel from the Atlantic to Great Lakes.
    5) Welland Canal is another waterway link between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. It is eight locks and lifts ships 326 feet over Niagra Escarpment.
    6) Trans-Canada Highway was built, about 4,000 miles.
    7) Universal Health Care. Since economy was efficient, health care could be afforded. Only after 1974 did Canada’s Health Care System go bad.
    8) Pensions and Direct Injections
    This is a sort of Social Credit Theory. These direct injects are debt free money being collected in taxes, and then re-spent (injected) back down into the base of the population, usually at the family level. This creates a pumping action, and the money goes on to create consumption and wealth. It also overcomes losses from waste in industry, so labor can buy their output. (Wages never equal the actual value of production as waste and overhead is captured in prices.) Canada probably did not understand that injections are proper economics -and needed, as shown by Social Credit Gap theory.
    • Family Allowances: This is another direct injection, usually for kids up to age 16, about $5 in the 1960’s per month.
    9) Private Banks are Restricted to four year loans only.
    o This is private creation of bank credit. A four year loan at 6% interest means that the interest does not go exponential. Note: In 1974 BIS coerced and removed these restrictions, so Banker could make usurious profits. His profits are parasitical after 74, and also change the composition of Canada’s money supply, making it more bank credit and less debt free. In this case, think of the debt free money as originating not at private banks, but instead at the State Bank. This is analogous to Lincoln’s emission of Greenbacks (from Treasury) during America’s civil war.

    • Canada provided housing mortgages by using TRUSTS. Trusts are a collection of people’s savings, similar to savings and loans in the U.S. at that time. Savings and loans would loan out existing money, not creating new credit. Canadian Trusts would issue a GIC, or what Americans call a CD. This CD would be for five years or so, and only have a percent or two of interest. Remember, they were loaning out existing money, not creating new credit. The interest channel would be back to the savers, and non- usurious. (Usury is a power relation, where the weak are silently robbed by predatory schemes. Usury can be taken with sophisticated monetary schemes. But, here mortgage housing loan interest payment would go to saving elderly, who would then buy the product of the young.)

    o When BOC no longer had restrictions on their private banks, e.g. four year loans at 6%, this allowed Canadian private banks to directly compete with the Trusts (similar to savings and loans). Again, trusts would take existing money, what formerly was debt free, which then became people’s savings, and loan it out. When the trust loaned it out, they would add a percentage of interest, effectively a FEE. This is how money supplies should work, where the money is stored wealth and not credit.

     Banks can create excess credit by loaning out many times their reserves. This allows them to create too much credit per unit time. Effectively, since they can create without limit, they were able to take over the trust industry. Banks could also issue more of their shares, to thus put more reserves in their reserve loops, to then fractional reserve much more credit. The movie “It’s a wonderful life” captures the effect of this mechanism where banks overtake savings and loans.
    A major country, Canada, ran a Sovereign money economy from 1938 to 1974 to good effect.
    Today, we have to listen to hypnosis at variance with actual history and reality. “There is not enough money to improve the commons, etc.” Or, we have to “borrow” the money to get things done, when history teaches us something different.

    Putin’s daughter marries a Jewish Oligarch – Katerina, 29, described herself as the “spouse” of Kirill Shamalov (Jewish), son of Nikolai Shamalov, a longtime friend of the president. Shamalov senior is a shareholder in Bank Rossiya, which U.S. officials have described as the personal bank of the Russian elite.

    Good job.

    Addition: ALL OF WILSON'S PROGRESSIVE ERA ACTS, were designed by the money powers. Even the election of 1912 was funded by the Morgan interests, who in turn were Rothschild agents. The election was split with Bull Moose Party (brought into existence for the explicit goal of siphoning votes away from Taft.) Remember, Taft would not sign the Aldrich amendment, the forerunner of Federal Reserve.

    Please, don't forget about the 17'th amendment, easily the most pernicious of all.

    It is in the first articles of the constitution, that SENATORS are to be sent by their State Legislatures. They are not to be VOTED into power by the general population. Senators are not to be populists. Senators are to be above the political fray, and the "greatest deliberative body on earth."

    By making Senators populists, then said senators can be controlled with bribe money. Senators need the money to become popularly elected. In other words, Senators are not beholden to their states, but instead to monied interest groups.

    Who makes the money?

    I'm glad some of you are figuring things out. It makes me smile.

    Note that Federalism was murdered by money powered in-groups, and yes definitely (((our friends))) were heavily involved.

    The counter argument is "Well you let me get away with it, and stop me before I murder again. It is your fault because you didn't stop me."

    Jews "are not racist". Well actually all people are more or less "racist" in the sense that they prefer light skinned people above dark skinned people. And not only light skinned people have this preference, dark people have it also, perhaps even more so. Hence they try to "improve their race" by marrying lighter skinned people or at least try to "whiten" themselves by cosmetic means. Dark skinned people also have among themselves a "racial hiarchy" with light skinned people at the top and dark skinned people at the bothom. "Non-racism" is a recent artificial construct in which nobody really believes.

    Jews are human, therefore Jews are also racist. When the white Ashkenazis founded Israel and started to import brown Jews from the Arab world, they discriminated against them in terms of housing, education and jobs. When they imported black Jews from Ethiopia, they not only discriminated against them, they even tried to sterilize them by stealth. (Google: DepoProvera scandal Israel).

    With the coming of one million Russian Jews, Israel had the chance to "improve its race" by a generous immigration policy : immigrants from Russia did not need to be "full" Jews any more, having two or even one Jewish grandparent, not even only from the mothers side was enough. What is more : people with no Jewish background at all, but married to such persons were also allowed. That blond Israeli model may be the child of a quarter Jew and a non-Jew, i.e. she might be only 1/8 Jewish. Small wonder she doesn't look Jewish at all.

Perhaps: (1) Ukrainian Jews are not real Jews (2) Jews not born in Israel are not real Jews (3) Avigail personally, is not a Jew for some reason (4) Other.

    Jews "are not racist". Well actually all people are more or less "racist" in the sense that they prefer light skinned people above dark skinned people. And not only light skinned people have this preference, dark people have it also, perhaps even more so. Hence they try to "improve their race" by marrying lighter skinned people or at least try to "whiten" themselves by cosmetic means. Dark skinned people also have among themselves a "racial hiarchy" with light skinned people at the top and dark skinned people at the bothom. "Non-racism" is a recent artificial construct in which nobody really believes.

    Jews are human, therefore Jews are also racist. When the white Ashkenazis founded Israel and started to import brown Jews from the Arab world, they discriminated against them in terms of housing, education and jobs. When they imported black Jews from Ethiopia, they not only discriminated against them, they even tried to sterilize them by stealth. (Google: DepoProvera scandal Israel).

    With the coming of one million Russian Jews, Israel had the chance to "improve its race" by a generous immigration policy : immigrants from Russia did not need to be "full" Jews any more, having two or even one Jewish grandparent, not even only from the mothers side was enough. What is more : people with no Jewish background at all, but married to such persons were also allowed. That blond Israeli model may be the child of a quarter Jew and a non-Jew, i.e. she might be only 1/8 Jewish. Small wonder she doesn't look Jewish at all.

    The word ruddy is a translation of the Hebrew word Admoni, which means red in reference to hair.

    Since 'Lot' posted the foto, I assume you're calling him an "anti-Semite" -- why is he an "anti-Semite"?

    Believe it or not, it's mostly an honest question.

    Is he an "anti-Semite" because in response to the (perhaps rhetorical) sentence "Take as seen a dozen photos of spectacularly ugly Jewesses", he posted a foto of a group of relatively unattractive (most of them anyway; that's just my opinion) Jewish women? -- (OK, I guess he did implicitly say they are very unattractive: "spectacularly ugly") -- he's not even the one who used the word "Jewesses", which you may regard as disrespectful; someone else did.

    Jews have overused "anti-Semite" to the point it means little, eg like calling someone a racist -- to paraphrase (I believe Joe Sobran): 'An anti-Semite used to be someone who disliked Jews, now it's someone the Jews don't like' (I would add: for any reason, or want to smear for any reason, often not a very good reason) -- you may want to make a note of that.

    For someone who crafted most of a lengthy post as a vehicle for a single repetitive assertion using various synonyms for "wrong" (oddity x2, disingenuous x2, quasi-scientific, tenuous, stupid, ignorant, delusional) that imply a certain ignorance, your post is somewhat ironic in that it says very little in relation to its length.

    Simply stated, the content of your post is mostly hot air. It seems to be symptomatic of a rage dump rather than a well thought out rebuttal.

    Better writers and thinkers state something once and then get to their next point, rather than attempting to fluff their essay with repetition to seem like it is more than it is. Especially when that repetition is meaningless, unsupported assertion about how wrong someone else's supported views are.

    Then there is this next piece of space filler:


    The oddity and disingenuity is this:

    When you have the choice between:

    Advancing argument A (i.e.: ethnicity) – and standing a fighting shot at prevailing
    or
    Advancing argument B (i.e.: race) – which doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell

    Why would you advance B?
     
    Instead of stating that something can't prevail, and asking a rhetorical question about the logic of its use, you are supposed to simply rebut it.

    Stating that something "doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell" is not a counter argument. The relatively high total word count up to this point, having made no substantive rebuttal (having only asserted synonyms for wrong), is not a counter argument. Your post reads as if you think that it is.

    It takes getting to the bottom of your post before some timid (timid especially in relation to the lengthy and strongly worded preface) substantive points are made.

    Below, I rebut your actual points one by one. Take note in regard to the post-response format so that you can more effectively express yourself in your next post:

    The claim that Israel is an ethnostate – ethnicity – ethnostate – is a very, strong claim. Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ashkenazi … all welcome.
     
    As often and variously claimed by Jews themselves, Judaism is sometimes one or all of the following: a religion, an ethnicity, a nation, and a race.

    You mention ethnicity, which is what defines an ethnostate. The three Jewish groups that you define above are all Jewish, with relatively little ethnic difference between them, meeting the homogeneous ethnicity standard for any ethnostate.

    If you believe that these groups are meaningfully ethnically different, then you either live too deep in a Jewish bubble, don't understand these groups if a non-Jew, or are being deceptive. I've worked among these groups that were interacting all in the same place. In regard to any wider meaningful standard, they are all the same ethnicity. I doubt that you will find anyone here who is willing to entertain another view on the matter. For no other reason than that view would be wrong insofar as the context of this discussion is concerned (ie: comparing the ethnic distance between these groups to gentile ethnic differences within a racially homogeneous nation).

    Germans sub-groups (ie: Bavarian, Prussian, Swabian, etc) across Nazi Germany did not share as close an ethnicity / culture as do the three groups of Jews that you mention above, and yet it is the mainstream view that Nazi Germany was an ethnostate. Israel can not be held to a different standard than other nations, in spite of its self-styled status as "chosen", and so it is correct to categorize it as an ethnostate using the ethnic uniformity of the three groups that you mention (to start). Beyond that, Israel has declared itself to be an ethnostate.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_and_democratic_state

    Requiring that we rebut either willfully deceptive, intentionally dumb (in regard to known information), or otherwise repetitive arguments is a pet peeve of ours, collectively, as these type of arguments have been noted to be part of Jewish propaganda strategy since at least Hitler's notation of them in Mien Kampf. You can engage in the tactic, but don't be deluded that you are being persuasive. Its slightly annoying, but I concede that the one upside for us is that we get to rebut you in print.

    Perhaps you were speaking in imprecise language, and you meant to either:

    a. deny that Israel is a racial state or

    b. meant to imply that ethnostate implies a racial state.

    For both possibilities, my response is below.

    The larger Jewish groups in Israel are all subject to racial inbreeding disease (Tay Sachs), whereas no European ethnic group is. This genetic homogeneity implies a closer racial composition than any group in Europe. It follows that Israel is more effectively a racial state, due to group inbreeding, than any European State.

    Skin color is an imprecise social filter for race. It can screen people out, but not in (ie: Whiteness doesn't make a Jew racially Swedish, but the lack of it excludes someone from the real Swedish group). Skin color is much less specific for genetic similarity than matrilineage that enforces the genetic closeness that is in-turn guarded against by other Jewish measures that are later below discussed. The result is that Swedes are not subject to in-breeding diseases while the Jewish group is, and the wider Jewish group is a much genetically closer racial group than the Swedish group and in spite of any variations in skin tone.

    For social inclusion, most greater European ethnicities (ie: Swedes) culturally use much looser standards than matrilineage or genetic tests (both used by Rabbis to approve applicants for Israeli citizenship).

    The standards for European society effective inclusion tend to be to look within a certain phenotype range, be completely culturally assimilated to include expressed acceptable behavior (ie: a high crime or even highly impulsive emigrated "Swede" is unlikely to be viewed as truly Swedish), and/or to be born to an unquestionably in-group parent.

    Jews are so xenophobic that the Rabbinical court frequently reverses earnest conversions and applies a cultural barrier to converts (the Mishanic Scale of Lineages) that effectively ostracizes them and their descendants indefinitely. The Mishnaic Scale of Lineages is quite openly and clearly a formal racial barrier to inclusion in the Jewish group.

    Jews will take different skin tones (their internationalism leaves them little choice) but screen more stringently for genetics through a variety of factors. The Jewish group tends to be phenotypically closer, on average, than individuals from any European nation. Typical Jewish second cousins look more related than do I and my siblings.

    To state that the bulk of the Jewish group isn't a race as compared to the genetic closeness of other racial groups, and doesn't attempt to maintain themselves as such, is not tenable.

    A small population of token Africans that serve as a political shield and that no ashkenazim intermarry with does not change those facts. If all that it took for Germany to be left alone was a small isolated community of Africans, which they would then attempt to sterilize as the Jews did to the Ethiopians and whom they would put heavy cultural stigmas and barriers guarding against inter-marriage as do the Jews, then they would have done it. That was never going to be an option as the Jews could not stand to lose their ownership of Germany and were always going to incite a war as a result, in spite of an eventual plan to eject all non-Jews from Israel (per their texts).

    If someone thought that that claim is so strong that it either a) undermines Israel’s legitimacy
     
    No Jew was concerned about National Socialist Germany's legitimacy as an ethnostate. Organized World Jewry actively fights the self-determination efforts of non-Jewish European groups in the nations of those peoples.

    You cannot expect the world to care about the maintenance of Israel's legitimacy when the existence of it as an ethnostate (which keeps millions of people in open air detention for decades, reminiscent of Nazi Germany) that clearly crosses lines that are viewed as a double standard. No Jew can expect sympathy as a result.

    From all of us: stuff your entitled self-interested whining. In your group, it oscillates between whining about the desire of others for their own ethnostates and whining about criticism over the one that you have.

    We know that your texts tell you that your god gave only you a nation, and that everyone else is to be dispossessed. In the long term, you'll be lucky to escape actual revenge for your double standards and hostile religion that is responsible for untold millions of deaths and millions of people being born and dying in captivity over generations.

    Then … wouldn’t you want to frame the whole discussion to be about “white” and “race”, rather than say European or culturally European?

     

    They are used interchangeably. Our acceptable racial gamut is wider than that of the Jewish group, and so we often speak in terms of ethnicity. As it is used for our group, ethnicity always implies some racial restriction that varies by sub-group.

    the Mishanic Scale of Lineages

    There is an overview here:
    Talmud – Mas. Horayoth 13a:
    “MISHNAH. A PRIEST TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER A LEVITE, A LEVITE OVER AN ISRAELITE, AN ISRAELITE OVER A BASTARD, A BASTARD OVER A NATHIN,39 A NATHIN OVER A PROSELYTE, AND A PROSELYTE OVER AN EMANCIPATED SLAVE. THIS ORDER OF PRECEDENCE APPLIES ONLY WHEN40 ALL THESE WERE IN OTHER RESPECTS EQUAL.”

    And this book goes into it in more detail
    BOOK: “Jewish Identity in Early Rabbinic Writings”
    By Sacha Stern
    https://books.google.com/books?id=ekhqsS8GKo8C&sitesec=buy&source=gbs_vpt_read

    But you can browse some of the more relevant parts of the book here:
    https://books.google.com/books?id=ekhqsS8GKo8C&pg=PA92&lpg=PA92&dq=Mishnaic+Scale+of+Lineages&source=bl&ots=kofAPQJwri&sig=ACfU3U1q9_f2cZU9oZ_zcVJS9-_HVQZIeg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjNhdLivpPjAhWXGc0KHT3iCOMQ6AEwCXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Mishnaic%20Scale%20of%20Lineages&f=false

    Jews are so xenophobic that the Rabbinical court frequently reverses earnest conversions and applies a cultural barrier to converts (the Mishanic Scale of Lineages) that effectively ostracizes them and their descendants indefinitely.

    Well it’s more due to “class-consciousness” than “xenophobia”, but those incidents do occur. Here is an example:
    https://www.haaretz.com/1.4749841
    “Not Jewish Enough to Marry a Cohen” – Amiram Barkat 18.02.2005
    Irina Plotnikov cannot marry the man she loves, Shmuel Cohen, even though she is Jewish according to halakha (Jewish religious law). A rabbinic court in Jerusalem ruled recently that even though Plotnikov is Jewish, she is not eligible to marry a Cohen since her father is not Jewish. According to Jewish tradition, people with the surname Cohen are descendants of the priests that served in the Temple in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.

    The couple were shocked by the court’s verdict. “None of the rabbis had told us there might be a problem,” Plotnikov says.]]
    … that is an example of a refusal to start a marriage, and examples exist too, where courts have reversed existing marriages,

    The Mishnaic Scale of Lineages is quite openly and clearly a formal racial barrier to inclusion in the Jewish group.

    It is a barrier to social-class upward mobility. Such barriers exist in most Euro nations too, for example, even if not well documented. However such barriers haves been totally ineffective as national racial barriers.

    And the relevant point to this discussion is: in the case of the Jewish nation, such social barriers haves been totally ineffective as national racial barrier, too.

    "Lineage is a social thing, race is a biological thing."

    How is lineage = descent not a biological thing? Isn't evolutionary theory based on "descent with modification"?

    And how can "lineage" be so different from "race" given the well-know etymology of the term?

    What do your links in regard to my reference to the Mishnaic Scale of Lineage have to do with anything?

    You failed to summarize a relevant point, and I do not need whatever education you were implying that your are providing but demonstrably failing to do so.

    I love when you people fall prey to your outsized arrogance in regard to what you think that you and other people know, and look stupid as a result.

    Try to state something pertinent instead of engaging in high word-count salad that is attempting to give the impression of a point but is actually comprised of nothing.

    The Mischanic Scale of lineages holds that converts are not true Jews for over twenty generations, unreasonably long timelines being a common Rabbinical analogy for "forever" (the literal generational timeline being over 500 years until a convert's lineage is accepted). That's my context that you missed completely in our retarded attempt to post a rebuttal using incomplete information (typical of Jews).

    Lineage is a biological thing, per the matrilineal Jewish lineage requirement as well as the Jewish priesthood to give two examples pertinent to Jews. You deceptive waste of time and space.

    No one should entertain conversations with Jews going forward. These engagements are a form of hostile war for them, and therefore their words are both not to be trusted and meaningless. All that the Jew knows is physical punishment. Honesty is a foreign concept.

  • Time to revisit Shlomo Sand!

    https://www.haaretz.com/1.5086924
    Israeli Wins French Prize for Book Questioning Origins of Jewish People:
    Shlomo Sand of Tel Aviv University is the author of
    “The Invention of the Jewish People”

    REVIEW OF THE BOOK by Gilad Atzmon – 2009
    https://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/shlomo-sands-the-invention-of-the-jewish-people-book-review.html

    Though most contemporary Jews are utterly convinced that their ancestors are the Biblical Israelites who happened to be exiled brutally by the Romans, truth must be said. Contemporary Jews have nothing to do with ancient Israelites, who have never been sent to exile because such an expulsion has never taken place. The Roman Exile is just another Jewish myth.

    But the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendents.

    One may wonder, if the Palestinians are the real Jews, who are those who insist upon calling themselves Jews? Sand’s answer is rather simple, yet it makes a lot of sense.

    “The people did not spread, but the Jewish religion spread. Judaism was a converting religion. Contrary to popular opinion, in early Judaism there was a great thirst to convert others.”(13)

    "c. 1300, nacioun, "a race of people, large group of people with common ancestry and language," from Old French nacion "birth, rank; descendants, relatives; country, homeland" (12c.) and directly from Latin nationem (nominative natio) "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe," literally "that which has been born," from natus, past participle of nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci), from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups." https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=nation

    You are playing insults and semantics, but the fact remains:

    The Jewish nation has a long history of accepting immigrants, and it shows (see pictures earlier).

    [But first we must understand that throughout Jewish history, the religious hierarchy was the only national institution, so naturally immigration was handled by them. And this is why immigration into the nation is hard to distinguish from conversion to the national religion, as a stand-alone process.]

    Examples of immigration/conversion:
    Ruth 1:16. “wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God shall be my God.”

    Joshua 6 25. “And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she lives in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.”

    Leviticus 24:22. “You shall have one manner of law, as well for the proselyte as for the home_born. One law shall there be for you and for the convert”

    Deuteronomy 1:16. ” And thou shalt judge righteously between man and his brothers and the convert…”

    If accepting immigrants produced a pure race, then an Angus cattle breeder should not be faulted for introducing a few Holsteins!

    BTW: The so-called “Cohen gene” shows up all over Europe and the Middle-East, but with the highest frequency among Turks. Which supports Ashkenazi Jews Southern-Russian/Turkic/Khazarian origin, not Arabic origin. http://www.khazaria.com/genetics/abstracts.html [[KHAZARIA.COM Resource for Turkic and Jewish History in Russia and Ukraine]]

    The fact that jews generally assess race (lineage) not on overall genetic similarity but on uniparental lineage is irrelevant given Yoram Hazony's argument with regards to nationalism.

    Unlike the African migrants sent to detention camps in the Sinai desert, Beta Israel was allowed in because of a claim of lineage:

    "Reflecting the consistent assertions made by Ethiopian Jews they dealt with or knew of, and after due investigation of their claims and their own Jewish behaviour, a number of Jewish legal authorities, in previous centuries and in modern times, have ruled halakhically (according to Jewish legal code) that the Beta Israel are indeed Jews, the descendants of the tribe of Dan, one of the Ten Lost Tribes.[52] "

    This is nonesense.

    The term "race" means lineage. And Jews have always concepturalized themselves as a lineage. They are the race or lineage of Shen and specifically the seed of Abraham.

    This is constantly repeated in the Bible. Indeed, in the New Testament the other Jews tell Jesus that they are the seed of Abraham.

    Granted, they are a somewhat outbred lineage. But they are still largely geneologically defined.

    Thus they are a race in the classic sense, a lineage or succession of individuals.

    And in being so, they are exclusive. Of course, some can join through marrage, but then some could also become honorary Aryans in the Third Reich.

    The Jews are a nation.
    "Nation" is not the same as "country". A nation is a big social group, and a country is land possessed by a nation. Members of nations that possess a country, find it hard to make a distinction between "nation" and "country". And their confusion has even reached some dictionaries.
    However there exist stateless nations, notably the Jews(until 1948), the Gypsies, and the Kurds. Members of stateless nations understand the difference between "nation" and "country".

    Nation_binding forces include: common national religion, common possession of a country, common language, common customs, common history, common race, and more, making about 10 possible common qualities.

    A common national religion is especially important for a STATELESS nation, who have no "common possession of a country" to bind them. But when a stateless nation acquires a country, the national_religion immediately becomes less important. The Jews and Israel, for example. More than half Israeli Jews are secular, in the Diaspora it's less than half.

    Common race helps too, if the others look like you, you tend to bind with them more easily. In any case you need about 4 hits of the 10 common qualities to have any chance of forming a nation.

    A revolution is a strong nation binding force. Shedding blood together.
    Even blood shedded by outsiders: The Armenian genocide is a binding force for the Armenians, and the Holocaust is a binding force for the Jews.

    "Multi_culturalism/ethnic_mosaic" just means ZERO shared common qualities and there is NO NATION.

    ● FOR EXAMPLE: The private-currency Ponzi-scheme PARASITE. In 1913 with “Federal”-Reserve act America formally became a HOST of the PARASITE. The PARASITE now CONTROLLED its HOST’s currency. And he who pays the piper calls the tune. So the PARASITE CONTROLLED the HOST nation’s government, too.
    Using this CONTROL, the PARASITE then drafted ITS HOST into its service as their Foreign Legion.
    The deal with America was: we would fight all their wars of financial colonial expansion, and they would give us a credit card that we would pay for their wars on.
    But for the PARASITE it was still a freebie.
    👉The PARASITE’s plan was always to destroy its HOST, the credit card and all the debt on it, about 100 years later. And that time is NOW!

Packed full of parasite, the crab will forgo its own needs to serve those of its master. It won’t molt, grow reproductive organs, or attempt to reproduce. It won’t even regrow appendages, as healthy crabs can. Rather than waste the nutrients on itself, a HOST crab will hobble along and continue to look for food with which to feed its PARASITE master.]]

    ● THE PARALLEL: Just as the saccullina PARASITE CONTROLS its HOST the crab by steering it to serve the PARASITE’S interests, so the private-currency Ponzi-scheme PARASITE CONTROLS its HOST America by steering it into wars. All the wars we have ever fought since the PARASITE infected us in 1913, have been in the PARASITE’s interest, never our own.

    COMMENT: CONCEALMENT is the main form of defense of every PARASITE.

    ● FOR EXAMPLE: The private-currency Ponzi-scheme PARASITE. In America they call their banks FEDERAL-Reserve banks, and their currency FEDERAL-Reserve Notes. The “FEDERAL” part is to suggest FEDERAL-government and CONCEAL the fact they are PRIVATE. And their FEDERAL-Reserve Notes look just like FEDERAL-government notes – more CONCEALMENT.

    It has always been a control hierarchy, a control pyramid, with the Rs as the top tier.

    pMoney is what makes it work (“grease makes the world go around”). And here is how the money pyramid works:

    [[The 12 Federal-Reserve banks are all private corporations, so the shareholder list need not be made public, and it is not. Nevertheless, here is such an ownership hierarchy chart someone sleuthed down..
    http://www.land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/federal_reserve.shtml
    1) Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin;
    2) Lazard Brothers Banks of Paris;
    3) Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy;
    4) Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam;
    5) Lehman Brothers of New York;
    6) Kuhn, Loeb Bank of New York (Now Shearson American Express);
    7) Goldman, Sachs of New York.
    And they are all Jewish.
    .. Which means first and foremost: the Rothschilds.]]

    Top of the pyramid of control.

    And now back to the topic of Israel. Israel is one of the R’s victim’s too.

    Here is the Rothschild all-seeing-eye Pyramid atop the Israeli Supreme court building they donated to Israel. Same family symbol they put on their Federal Reserve note.jack to Editor

    USA and Israel are both Rothschild-Financial-Empire colonies. USA’s role in the Empire is: leader of the Foreign Legion, while Israel’s role is “house pet”, because of the Jewish connection.

    The Rothschilds own the Central Bank of Israel, and issue the shekel, just as they own Central Bank of America, and issue the Federal-Reserve Note. The state of Israel does not issue shekels, it gets them by pledging interest-bearing bonds as collateral, then borrowing Shekels from the Rothschilds – the same way as the USA and all the other Rothchild-Empire colonies get their currency. This means: Israel is sliding down the black-hole and yoke of national debt, same as all the other Empire’s colonies.

    Israel’s role within the Empire is: their pet colony, like the family dog. The family likes the dog, and the dog likes the family, nevertheless they still had the dog neutered in order to destroy its independence, and the dog doesn’t know it has been neutered.

    Nevertheless, when the Rothschilds order their puppet government in Washington to eat their dog’s shit, Washington eats it. And that’s where Netanyahu and AlPAC’s power comes from. Campaign donations are just a manifestation of that power.

    The Empire can bring economic collapse, and/or war, upon any colony at any time, for disobedience, Israel included.

    The corrupt leaders of Israel want war, for the same reason the corrupt leaders of America want war: BECAUSE THE OWNERS OF ITS CENTRAL-BANK AND CURRENCY, WANT WAR!

    … And the owners of the central bank and currency want war because they are playing a game of self-fulfilling prophecy, with the Tanakh, They think they are God.

  • The whole modern state of Israel is an exercise in a game of self-fulfilling prophecy(1) by the Rothschild family. They have funded the Zionist movement since Theo Herzl began it in the late 1800s, as a family hobby. Without such funding the movement would never have gotten off the ground.

    The Rothschilds are trying to make this happen —
    Gen 15:18 “Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt [Nile] unto the great river, the river Euphrates:”
    AND
    Deuteronomy 30:3 “the Lord your God..will return and gather you from all the nations, where the Lord your God has scattered you..And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it;”

    (BTW all that means: the Rothschilds think they are “the Lord your God”.)

    Their plan is to gather the Jews back to the “Holy Land”, and to expand the “Holy Land” from the Nile river to the Euphrates river(“Greater Israel”].

    So all that land must be depopulated of its present natives, and they all happen to be Arab Muslims. 👉This is where Europe’s 3rd world immigration problem comes from!

    Not all Jews agree with this plan. For example: most American Reform Jews (especially Alan C Brownfeld), and Neturi Karte. But the central planners don’t care.

    Yes, I should have abstained from that statement. And yes, my understanding is limited. And Yes, I learn much from comments on unz.com. So thank you for correcting me. I actually made a confusion, in my answer to comment #4, between Ecclesiast and Sirach (called L'Ecclesiastique in French, a source of confusion). But my argument remains valid. Ecclesiast, though written in Hebrew and included in the Tanakh, belongs to the Hellenistic period, according to most scholars (the Persian period, according to others). And besides, it is not a counter-argument to my thesis, on the contrary: it is fondamentally and explicitly materialistic. To set the record straight, I reproduce what I wrote in the article, which is correct:


    In the Hellenistic period, Greco-Egyptian dualism infiltrated Jewish thought. The Wisdom of Solomon, written in Greek in Alexandria in the first century BCE, asserts that, “God created human beings to be immortal,” and criticizes those who “do not believe in a reward for blameless souls” (2:22-23). But such books never made it into the Jewish canon, as rabbinical Judaism vigorously rejected anything Greek. Moreover, even within Hellenistic Judaism, the materialist viewpoint prevailed. According to Ecclesiastes,
    “the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same: as the one dies, so the other dies; […] everything comes from the dust, everything returns to the dust” (3:19–20).
    “The living are at least aware that they are going to die, but the dead know nothing whatever. […] There is neither achievement, nor planning, nor science, nor wisdom in Sheol where you are going” (9:5-10).

    If the trinity doctrine is not enough to convince you that xtianity is polytheism, the fact that xtianity recognizes SEPARATE independent gods of good and evil, should do it!

    Satan as “an independent god of evil” is a christian polytheist corruption of the Jewish bible. In the Jewish Bible, “Satan” is always the humble servant of God. God CREATES EVIL and Satan delivers it. Don’t shoot the messenger!

    👉Isaiah 45:7. “I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and CREATE EVIL;”

    In a monotheistic religion the one god must create evil. If another god did it, the religion would be polytheism. but christianity IS polytheism, so it has no problem with a separate god of evil. xtianity postulates this world as a struggle between the 3 gods of good, and the 1 god of evil.

    Mostly agree.

    Bruce Charlton, a man with a thoroughly modern and positivistic mentality interprets Christianity in its most literal and obvious sense - and explicitly rejects monotheism and claims authentic Christianity is polytheistic.

    The Trinity as aspects of the divinity is not problematic for Judaism - the problem is, Christianity does not clearly make that claim, nor does it clearly posit distinct Gods. It's sort of both.

    That is why it was always held to be a confusing doctrine that stumped the intellect. A mysterium tremendum.

    There have been authoritative orthodox Jewish opinions that accept Christianity as monotheistic, or at least not pagan and not "heathen".

    Although the Trinity has always made Christianity more problematic for Jews.

    , @AaronB
    @Professional Stranger

    And yes, Judaism is a non dualistic system which does not posit evil as having a separate source from good. In this respect it is similar to Eastern religions.

    Evil is in some sense not quite real in Judaism - its just that we humans cannot comprehend the mysterious ways of God. The whole book of Job illustrates the need for Faith, and our inability to understand.This is strikingly similar to Eastern traditions.

    Christianity is confusing on this subject too - Lucifer is a fallen angel so lesser than God, and has in some sense been already defeated, but is still an independent force that fights God.

    However, Christian mystics come closer to the Jewish and Eastern path. I do not know about Islam.

    Is not Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) part of the Ketuvim, which is a part of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), which is traditionally read annually during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles)? I understand there was controversy about including Ecclesiastes in the Hebrew Bible, much like there was controversy about James and Revelation being included in the New Testament.

    At any rate, the Preacher in Ecclesiastes does not believe in the afterlife. Professional Stranger is being disingenuous in quoting it. Whatever soul man and his fellow animals may have look forward to "the same fate," with "no further reward" and "no advantage" over a dead dog.


    Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"

    Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten...in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
     

    Furthermore, this bit of commentary on the book of Job enforces your viewpoint on Judaic interpretation of the afterlife.

    My purpose is to discuss these questions and show that the author of Job methodically uses "death as extinction" in his logical arguments, but reverts to the popular concept of Sheol in his emotional ruminations and outbursts.

    Another example from Ecclesiastes:
    Ecclesiastes “all is vanity” (vanity = הֶבֶל hebel) A more literally correct translation is “all is nothing” or “everything is useless” – as found in some translations. But “all is vanity” is a big improvement, it adds a new level of meaning.

    “All is vanity” has come to mean “all is ego”, as in this famous illusion painting (Charles Gilbert 1892). Is it a young woman preening herself at her vanity mirror, or is it a gruesome skull?]]

    The original Hebrew word translated as “vanity” (hebel הֶבֶל) means “vapor” not “puffed-up pride and vanity” or “ego”.

    Folk myths grow and evolve over time, same as country folk music. The “holy” books are only folk myths. Don’t try to freeze them. Let them evolve. Same goes for “all is VANITY”. It has improved with time. Like old whiskey.

    judaism is not remotely universalist in actual practice, no matter what high sounding phrases are promoted for marketing purposes.

    judaism is particularist.

    The main reason Christ came was to remove the chains of particularism to extend God's love to all of mankind.

    The jews are no longer God's chosen people, but they are unwilling to accept this fact, and this is the essence of jewish supremacism.

    jews project onto whites their own cohesive group ego inflation, calling whites "supreeeeeeeeemists,"
    when in fact it is jews that are the group with the mistaken God complex.

    Dolan: judaism is not remotely universalist

    Blind: Judaism needs to be qualified by “Orthodox” and “Reform”.

    A huge schism exists within Judaism on the question of Jewish nationalism: Reform, with guys like Alan C. Brownfeld, and Ultra-Orthodox. It’s like 2 different religions, with 2 different gods: one religion worships a universal god and the other a national god.

    But tracing the nationalism, via the religious route:
    [[In Geiger’s view, “the essence of Judaism was the religious-universal element. All the remainder was the fruit of historical conditions…and..should be abolished.”]] —– Rabbi Abraham Geiger (1810–74) was a leading ideologists of the Reform movement.

    That means: it’s OK to cherrypick your old religious myths.

    Geiger’s “All the remainder” included Jewish nationalism, and it was the fruit of the historical conditions of defending a set of universal religious principles while living amongst people hostile to it.

    In other words: the religious universal element came first, then a religion was needed to carry it, then a nation was needed to defend the religion, “then a KING was needed..” [1 Samuel 8:10.] to rule the nation, then a nation-state was needed to secure the nation, then idolatrous ideas of “holy nation” and “holy state” found their way into the religion. Concepts directly opposed to the original set of universal religious principles!
    Then came the final step: the Jewish Zionist Atheist, where defending the nation-state became an end in itself.

    However in Reform Judaism, there has been a return to grass roots lately. Pittsburgh Platform 1885 says “we consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community”. And for even more recent updates click this..

    http://www.acjna.org/acjna/default.aspx Allan C. Brownfeld explains Reform Judaism’s position on Jewish nationalism – The American Council for Judaism.

    How Judaism needed nationalism to defend universalism, is an example of using devices contradictory to your principles in order to defend them. Another example is the US cause in Vietnam: “we had to destroy the village in order to save it”.

    AND FINALLY:
    Purging Judaism of nationalism is a work in progress. The principle that is evolving is: Nothing is holy but god himself, all else you make holy are idols. The story so far goes something like this..
    Moses destroyed the golden calf the Israelites had made, while he was up on the mountain. But then he slipped up himself….. Numbers 21:9. “And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.”
    An error Hezekiah corrected …. Kings II Chapter 18:1. “Hezekiah..began to reign..he broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did offer [sacrifices] to it; and it was called Nehushtan.”

    Get the pattern? Destroying idols. No-one and no-thing is immune.

    Nevertheless, “holy name”, “holy altar”, “holy nation”, “holy seed”, “holy day” and “holy land” remain. More work needs to be done.

    Guyénot should have abstained to make such statements which show his actual lack of familiarity (not to say ignorance) with the subject. It puts all his allegations on a very shaky ground. His waffling about the role of Christianity in the demise of Christendom shows that he did not understand much about Christianity and its 'conflict' with Judaism.
    He actually tries to mitigate his hostility to it, despite his perfunctory exculpation of "Russian Orthodox Christianity today" for its supposed 'strong national flavor' (of which he doesn't know much, as of Orthodoxy in general). The truth is that all theorizations of 'volkisch' nationalisms (German in particular) are imitations of Judaism, as all 'Arian' ('white') fantasies à la Gobineau and Houston Chamberlain, actually hostile to the Church and no less 'materialistic' than Judaism.

  • GUYÉNOT: Is the Hebrew Bible materialistic?

    Blind: Thanks for asking! The answer is no!

    The Jewish Bible supports the idea of life after death, but gives contradictory answers to the question of where it happens…
    ● Life after death wherever God lives –
    Ecclesiastes 12:7-8 (read on Sukkot) . “And the dust returns to the earth as it was; and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Vanity of vanities..all is vanity.”

    ● Life after death wherever God lives –
    Psalms 23 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
    and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

    ● Life after death(both heaven and hell) here on Earth – Daniel 12: 1-2. some “..people shall be saved, every one whose name shall be found written in the book..many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to EVERLASTING life, and some to shame and EVERLASTING contempt.

    ● Life after death, place undefined, probably here on Earth – Isaiah 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the ungodly: ‘Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with EVERLASTING burnings?’

    ● Life after death possibly “upward” somewhere, but who knows? – Ecclesiastes 3:21 “Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward, and the spirit of the beast goes downward to the earth?”

    ● Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul (Nehfesh) in hell; (Sheol)

    ● Samuel I Chapter 2 6. The Lord kills, and returns to life; he brings down to Sheol, and brings up.

    The contradictory answers are due to different books of the Tanakh being written by different authors with different opinions, at different times. The fact that 2 of the 3 quotes above are both from Ecclesiastes, yet give different answers, just goes to show you: the last verse(12) of Ecclesiastes was added by a later editor to make it politically correct. However, both those Ecclesiastes verses do agree on the name of the entity that (possibly) survives death: “spirit” (רוּחַ ruach). But note that Ecclesiastes 3 says that man has no more claim to it than the beast. (Human exceptionalism is dismissed)

    "You’re a loser for a reason, and that reason is stupidity. A smart person would understand that where there are more opportunities and more conducive environments there would be many more like Dr. Gates. It probably isn’t going to happen in Finland, "

    I checked the number of PhDs in the USA and in Finland. From these figures we can get a rough estimate for the African American average IQ.

    The number of births in Finland was about 60,000 per year in 1990s and 30 years later the number of PhDs made has been about 1800 yearly. That is 3% of the year class makes a PhD. Assuming that they are the brightests, the PhD demand is about 128 IQ points. In reality not all bright make a PhD and the current PhD level is about 124 IQ points over all fields. (In education it is lower, maybe 117, and in math. and phys. higher, about 130).

    The Finnish population is 5.5 million, which is 92 times the year class of 60,000. This gives a formula to the percentage of the year class making a PhD:

    percentage to make PhD = (PhD theses in a year) * 92 / population

    Thus, in the USA the population is 327 million and in 2018 were made 79,000 PhD theses. This is

    percentage to make PhD in the USA = 79*92/327,000 =2.2%

    If the average PhD level is 124 IQ points and the USA average is 98, then the level is 26 points over average, 1.73 SD. That is 4.2% of the population. We see that about half of those who intellectually could make a PhD actually make it in the USA. In Finland the average IQ is 101, so the PhD level is 23/15=1,53 SD. That is 6,3% of the population. The percentage who make a PhD is 3%. This seems to fit well. About half of those who are able to do it actually do it. We can use the same rule for African Americans.

    There are 42.5 million African Americans and about 1900 make a PhD thesis yearly. The formula gives

    percentage to make PhD for African Americans = 1.9*92/42,500=0.0041, so 0.4% of African Americans make a PhD. Using the rule that twice as many are capable of doing it because of IQ, we get 0.8% African Americans are above the limit 124 IQ points. The value 0.8% corresponds to 2.66 SD, that is 36 IQ points. Then the average IQ of African Americans is 124-36=88 IQ points. It is probably a bit smaller than that because a larger part of African American PhD theses is in education. We get to the usual estimate of 85-87 IQ average to African Americans. Let is be 87.

    From this figure we can estimate that for Finns to have 155 IQ requires 3.6 SD, while for African Americans this level is 4.5 SD. There are 50 times more people over the level 3.6 SD than over the level 4.5 SD. As there are 7.7 times as many African Americans, there are 50/7.7=6.5 times as many Finns over the level 155 IQ than there are African Americans. In numbers it is about 800 Finns and about 124 African Americans. This means that we certainly can find very clever African Americans, but we can also find very clever Finns.

    If we go to Africa, which the population of 1 billion, naturally we will find quite many intelligent people, even though they are rare and currently the majority of the population does not have a chance to reach the 87 IQ genetic intelligence, they are closer to the environmental 70 IQ points. The Finnish population is not growing, or not growing because of Finns. So, finally there will be more Africans with an IQ over 155 than Finns. This is natural.

    For the time being, with average IQ at 70, to reach 155 would mean 5.5 SD. That is so rare that tables do not give it. For 5 SD there is the value 0.0000003. Multiplying it with 1 billion gives 300 people. There are 800 Finns over this figure and only 300 Black Africans.

    But naturally, you do not believe in statistics.

    "He us true-believer in P.C. doctrine, "

    I do not think he is a believer in P.C. doctrine. He believes that Nigerians have a very high IQ. He very easily accepts that Somalies have a much lower IQ than Nigerians. He is a Nigerian supremacist.

    I think the reason is very simple: he has found out from some statistics that Nigerians, who immigrate to the USA, have the average IQ of 110. They are mostly students going to study in American universities, so it is very likely that they have this average IQ. It is actually lower than the average IQ of students in the American universities where they go (which probably is about 120-125).

    Students have a higher IQ than the country average. People, who today move from Northern Europe to the USA, mostly move there to do doctorate studies or have managed to get a professorship of some kind (like an assistant professor), so their average IQ is probably around 130. These selected groups of students or young academics do not in any way tell what the average IQ is in the country.

    But he thinks that if Nigerians in the USA have the average of 110, then Nigerians in Nigeria must have the same average IQ of 110, only the IQ researchers are lying.

    He has also noticed that there are more intelligent blacks in Nigeria than could be if the genetic average IQ were 70, thus he claims IQ research is false. Of course he is correct, there are more intelligent blacks: the genetic average IQ of Africans is not 70. Nobody claims the genetic IQ average is 70. The value 70 is the actual value you measure today and it is largely a result of poor schools. The genetic average IQ is estimated to be 85. Because of this, from any privileged group (like rich Nigerians) one can find much more intelligent Africans than were possible if the genetic average IQ were 70.

    Finally he has searched for intelligent black people and found them. He could find one esteemed black professor of theoretical physics, Dr. Gates. Of course there are some intelligent blacks. In the USA in 36 years some 400 blacks made a PhD in physics, compared to some 24,000 whites, who also made a PhD in physics in this time period. There are about 10 black professors of physics in the USA, not all from theoretical physics. The rest of these professors of physics, a quite large number in the USA, are mainly whites, some are Asian. But by cherry picking the black he finds that there are very many very bright blacks and IQ research must be false.

    That's his three arguments against IQ research. All his arguments are false and that's about it.

In numbers it is about 800 Finns and about 124 African Americans. This means that we certainly can find very clever African Americans, but we can also find very clever Finns.

    If we go to Africa, which the population of 1 billion, naturally we will find quite many intelligent people, even though they are rare and currently the majority of the population does not have a chance to reach the 87 IQ genetic intelligence, they are closer to the environmental 70 IQ points. The Finnish population is not growing, or not growing because of Finns. So, finally there will be more Africans with an IQ over 155 than Finns. This is natural.

    For the time being, with average IQ at 70, to reach 155 would mean 5.5 SD. That is so rare that tables do not give it. For 5 SD there is the value 0.0000003. Multiplying it with 1 billion gives 300 people. There are 800 Finns over this figure and only 300 Black Africans.
