As stated, I agree with your history. But not necessarily with who you charge with the attacks on it.

The problem with your prescription, one of them at least, is that Enlightenment thought had almost nothing to do with Jews. Many of its leading lights, notably Voltaire, were quite vocally anti-Semitic.

The scholastic method you're describing originated in Buddhist and Islamic Central Asia and spread to Medieval Europe. It differs from the experimental method of modern science. See Christopher Beckwith's Warriors of the Cloisters:

https://press.princeton.edu/titles/9871.html

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West. Medieval scholars rarely performed scientific experiments, but instead contested issues in natural science, philosophy, and theology using the recursive argument method. This highly distinctive and unusual method of disputation was a core feature of medieval science, the predecessor of modern science. We know that the foundations of science were imported to Western Europe from the Islamic world, but until now the origins of such key elements of Islamic culture have been a mystery.

In this provocative book, Christopher I. Beckwith traces how the recursive argument method was first developed by Buddhist scholars and was spread by them throughout ancient Central Asia. He shows how the method was adopted by Islamic Central Asian natural philosophers--most importantly by Avicenna, one of the most brilliant of all medieval thinkers--and transmitted to the West when Avicenna's works were translated into Latin in Spain in the twelfth century by the Jewish philosopher Ibn Da'ud and others. During the same period the institution of the college was also borrowed from the Islamic world. The college was where most of the disputations were held, and became the most important component of medieval Europe's newly formed universities. As Beckwith demonstrates, the Islamic college also originated in Buddhist Central Asia.

Using in-depth analysis of ancient Buddhist, Classical Arabic, and Medieval Latin writings, Warriors of the Cloisters transforms our understanding of the origins of medieval scientific culture.

You basically still try to claim the Jews in Palestine behave just like "nazis", while in reality, they behave like Jews have been behaving for centuries. They are just being Jews there, and all the genocide, blood lust etc is already in their Torah.

So, how Jews behave in Palestine has nothing to do with imaginary "nazis" whatsoever, but all to do with "jewishness", my shilling kosher friend.

Then I discovered girls and airplanes, and any chances I could be another future Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or The Woz were scattered to the winds.

Motorola overpriced their CPUs in the interest of short term profits and wound up spinning off their microprocessor business for comparative peanuts (as Freescale) while the inferior Intel became overwhelmingly dominant.

I would say both of the German wars were wars of choice for all three countries. Germany was unable to send troops twenty miles across the Pas De Calais, but was somehow a threat to two continent-sized countries three thousands miles away? Note too how it was Britain that declared war on Germany in 1914 and 1939.

I should point out that Cherry is also obviously wrong.

That wasn't the way the majority of people in the Old White British Dominions thought both in 1914 & 1939. They considered themselves proud subjects of the British Empire and took the view that if Britain -the "Mother Country "-was at war then the Empire was at war .

There was general sense of malaise and greyness all over the West after 1918: which was ironic, considering the degree of technical and scientific productivity that exploded during the 1920s.

Pessimism and irrationality was the favorable ideology of the day for a European bourgeoisie on the defensive against the dual attacks of global capitalism and Communism. Fascism was popular all over Europe for a reason, with governments from Warsaw to Madrid falling under its sway. Even in France and England, there were popular native fascist movements throughout the 1920s and 1930s that could have taken power if a few things went differently. It was appealing to many because it seemed to being doing something as an affirmative, youthful, optimistic (if defensive) response against these tendencies of degeneration, while simultaneously being something new, having no time for a prewar aristocracy that was utterly discredited.

Had Hitler opted for a continental strategy against Britain in 1940 rather than planning to attack the USSR, who knows, maybe he would have gone down as the consummating figure of the era. Even Petain openly ascribed France's defeated as due to "too much politics", politics that the Germans managed to free themselves of. But then, if he'd done that, he wouldn't have been Hitler. He'd already worn that mask before and decided he was done with it.

One of the reasons Hitler's message was so appealing was because he knew that the essential view of the capitalists and Communists alike of man as a primarily economic, rational creature was a joke. In limited, safe doses, most people do want sacrifice, ritual, challenges. To his barely veiled contempt in the late 1930s, however, people were content with this dosage level and didn't actually want, you know, another WWI. But by this time, he didn't really need to care what anyone thought anymore, and he knew it.

"Circumstances have forced me to talk almost exclusively of peace for decades. Only by constantly stressing Germany’s desire for peace and peaceful intentions was it possible for me to win the German people their freedom bit by bit and to give the nation the arms which were always necessary as the prerequisite to the next step. It is obvious that such peace propaganda, carried on for decades, also has its dubious aspects; for it can easily lead to fixing in the brains of many persons the notion that the present regime is identical with the decision and the desire to preserve peace in all circumstances. That, however, would lead to a false idea of the aims of this system."

Yes, of course: Napoleon won in Russia. That's why his Grande Armée was reduced from 685K to 27K, while they were vacationing in Russia. Napoleon won, that's why he abandoned the puny remainder of his army at the Berezina River and ran. After his rousing 'victory' in Russia, and the loss of his veteran troops and the Grande Armée, he was never able to re-build his strength, and was eventually defeat and ignominiously exiled by the hated Brits. .

Same with Hitler: he also won a resounding victory against Soviet Union. And to celebrate his and his Nazi goons' victory over the Slavic Untermenschen, he immolated himself, as the Red Army troops were closing in on the supposed 1,000- year Reichstag.

You forgot to include the famous line that winter defeated the Germans, not the Russians. Apparently, the Israelis have heard about this joke too. I forgot who it was, one Israeli general during the Yom Kippur war jokingly said that he followed the “Russian tactics” from WW2 – fall behind the 2nd line of defense and wait for the snow. And he said – wouldn’t you know it – actually the snow started to fall, which is a rarity in Israel. So it does seem to work – both for Israel and USSR, because they won – thanks to winter weather.

"Russians were, are and will always be Kulaks whose only strength lies in numbers."

Like in Syria nowadays?

When Kutuzov retreated, according to you he ran.
When Napoleon ran, according to you he retreated.
Indeed it is a great victory to lose many more soldiers than the enemy.

So, we shall from now on call Dien Bien Phu a great victory.

So, we shall from now on call the war agains Gemany in 1940 a great victory.

And the independance of Algeria also a great victory for France.

The French army nowadays is so competent and powerful that it cannot come to an end with Africans warriors in Mali.

He /Hitler/, needed desperately auxiliary divisions from Italy, Spain, Romania , Finland, Croatia etc.
I believe Stalin should. To shoot and bomb with everything Wehrmacht standing /with no cover/,on Russian border and at the same time sent telegram , sorry Adolf, some generals got panicked ,when over 3 millions of your soldiers appeared on our border. They are not used to it.
Lets negotiate and I will punish them and pay for damages.
Repeated it again as soon as Wehrmacht would start to concentrate again.
Of course Wehrmacht and its panzers would regroup and attack.
This tactics would delay the best army in the world by far and would not permit to roll /with at least some difficulties / over any defences , so easy through , when no one could stop it..

(Edit: I realize now that you must be referring to the priest-doctor-lawyer joke, and not to "let me in on what this Whistleblower referencee refers to," but I'll post this anyway)

__________

The 'whistleblower,' in current-day US political-gossip lexicon (hence any other whistleblower being a "different one"), refers to an anonymous CIA agent who was assigned to the White House and got the impeachment process going by claiming, anonymously, that he overheard a phone call between Trump and the Ukraine President.

If this doesn't make much sense, join the rest of us.

(See "Sainted Whistleblower Is Actually CIA," iSteve, Sept. 26, 2019)

The name of the "whistleblower" is now being reported very widely (though still not, afaik, via the MSM) as Eric Ciaramella (born Feb. 1986, Connecticut; elite, high-priced high school '04; Yale '08 [Russian & East European Studies]; and Harvard MA).

Here is author James Howard Kunstler commenting on the anti-Trump CIA "Whistleblower" affair, on his blog, Nov. 1:

[The whistleblower is being reported to be] Eric Ciaramella, 33, a former Joe Biden staffer, Obama White House low-level NSC holdover, and John Brennan “asset” deeply involved in Ukrainian pranks during the 2016 election and subsequent disinformation leakage to the media since the early days of the Trump administration.
 

The “whistleblower’s” trail winds through every shadowy turn of RussiaGate to the current phantasmagoria of UkraineGate, and connects the principal misdeeds carried out along the way including Hillary Clinton’s devious operations with Fusion GPS, the Comey-led FBI’s illegal entanglement with CIA spying on US citizens (including occupants of the White House), and lately the mendacious maneuvers of House Intel Committee chair Mr. Schiff.

The notion that Mr. Ciamarella’s identity will remain officially hidden much longer is a joke, since his “complaint” lies at the center of the impeachment process underway, and sooner or later he will be compelled to make public testimony — unless Ms. Pelosi’s House majority votes to rename the USA the Haunted Forest of North America.

Jeff Halper. In his 2015 book, , suggested that people across the world exercising their democratic right to challenge their governments’ misrule were becoming “Palestinianised” and the rulers were becoming “Israelised”.


Halper suggests that Israel, with its “culture of deep militarism” and years of experience suppressing Palestinians, will find itself ideally placed to be able to assist governments to “secure insecurity”. Pacifying hostile populations for over seven decades has made Israel invaluable to tyrants and despots


This portrait of Israel rarely gets featured in the mainstream media even though it has a history of stabilising brutal regimes and facilitating some of the worst practices of governments against their people. From the Contras in Latin America to the riots in Ferguson North America, there exist numerous instances where Israel and Israeli security companies have led the way in the pacification of the people through the export of arms, surveillance technology, intelligence, and security advice.


Last year the Chilean Armed Forces website revealed that the governments of Chile and Israel signed an agreement for cooperation in military education, training, and doctrine during an official visit to the country by Israeli Major General Yaacov Barak. The agreement prompted some to ask if Israel is continuing its decades-long strategy of exporting its military violence to Latin America.


Jewish Voice for Peace has named this transfer of skills and knowledge as “the deadly exchange”, in a report on the “Dangerous Consequences of American Law Enforcement Trainings in Israel”.

According to the Jewish advocacy group, thousands of law enforcement officials from the acting Deputy Director of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to the current Chief of Police in Washington DC, from San Diego to Chicago to Atlanta, American law enforcement officials have trained in Israel with Israeli police, military and the Shin Bet. Thousands more are said to have participated in security conferences and workshops with the Israeli military, law enforcement and security officials held in the US. All were schooled in Israeli military approaches to intelligence gathering, border security, checkpoints and coordination with the media.

At one point about a decade or so ago, this family broke all ties with the Arizona Republican Party. Why? Because the 21st Century Republicans suddenly lose all their commitment to local control when Democrats are the local government. This family had opposed the Civil Rights Act because they considered a law which singled out certain states for different treatment to be unconstitutional. Then, when the Arizona GOP passed laws which singled out Tucson and Phoenix, this family broke their ties with the GOP. And breaking their ties with the GOP was a very public thing.
