The possibility has a certain coherency given that we have a White House that it believes it has...
  • Three brief comments.

    (1) Coy, comic, and sarcastic handles for politicians probably antedate the Babylonian Empire—for example, “Honest Abe” was coined to mock Lincoln’s corrupt connection with the railroad moguls, not to laud him for his hard-to-find integrity—and most of them have been quickly and mercifully forgotten, lying as they have somewhere between the obscene and the just plain stupid. Dr. Giraldi’s caricaturing of Biden as Captain Queeg is, however, a contender for placement in History’s Ten Best Snarks List. Hats off!

    (2) Still one of the very best analyses of the background to the Oklahoma City bombing, the government’s role in every aspect of its planning and execution, and the completely rigged “investigation” that was mounted in the murderous event’s aftermath is to be found in The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: The Unreported Stories (1996), by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. The book is still especially recommendable to all with a serious interest in how the Deep State manages investigations of its own crimes and how it deals with those of its members who naively think that finding evidence and determining responsibility are aspects of their employment.

    I sincerely hope that (A) is what he meant. No society that lacks the underpinning of formidable orthodoxies has ever long endured as anything but a tyrannical state.

    I don't know that Tony Soprano was "changed" over the course of the series. I thought they ended the psychoanalysis storyline perfectly when his shrink is convinced by a colleague that he's a sociopath and has been manipulating her the whole time. The point, and a good one, is that people don't really change. Tony's time in therapy was an attempt to domesticate him, which he half-heartedly took up, but we saw over the course of his therapy his gradual abandonment of it, as his nature inevitably draws him back.

    It's interesting that he cited Gary Cooper, because High Noon (to me) shares a theme with the Sopranos: the decline of vitality attendant upon progress. Tony finds himself in the suburbs with a soft, dull son watching American decline, just as Gary Cooper found himself, as he neared retirement, among wretched cowardly townsfolk trembling at the arrival of three gunslingers. I'm with John Wayne. I think frontier townsfolk were hardier stock than that. But as stand-ins for Americans in the fifties, the triumph of WWII transitioning into the Korean War, getting rich and fat and soft? Then it makes sense. Their last real man is aging and just trying to get out of town with his young wife while there's still a little lead in his pencil, but the town is helpless. The film was a different type of Cold War paranoia.

    It's remarkable how different the take on Italians is. In the series, there's the typical perverse admiration for their audacity (I think Chase as a Jew sees them as a proxy of sorts for Jews), and the characters live in a world populated not only by gangsters, but by Italian professionals such as Dr Melfi. Chase is a fine writer, but a damaged man.

    … I think Chase as a Jew sees them as a proxy of sorts for Jews …

    Do you have any basis for asserting that David Chase is Jewish? Numerous sources give his original family name as DeCesare, which his paternal grandparents, in an effort to assimilate into the American mainstream, changed to Chase. A quick check of Wikipedia, which is of course a Jewish hasbara operation from top to bottom, makes no reference to Jews in Chase’s ancestry—and there’s no doubt that if there had been a Jew anywhere in his maternal line, the Wikipedians would be all over it!

    Chase’s walking-on-eggshells approach to Jewish characters in The Sopranos is evidence only of the familiar desire to maximize his own career opportunities (and profits) in a sphere—i.e., so-called popular entertainment—in which sycophancy toward the Jews who run the racket is a sine qua non.

    There’s so much BS in this statement I don’t have a shovel big enough to remove it.

    1. The Catholics on SCOTUS seem to be pretty devout, loyal to their Church, and sincere in their faith. Ditto I think with Catholic politicians like Paul Ryan. The Catholics in security agencies like FBI, CIA, Military are very devout so far as I’ve heard. There’s great demand for Catholic military chaplains for example to serve those Catholic military personnel.

    2. Free Masonry pre-dates Zionism by a long time. Unless you are referring to the Christian proponents of a restored Jewish homeland, that date back to 17th century England and include people like Queen Victoria, as detailed in this excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Allies-Armageddon-Rise-Christian-Zionism/dp/0300116985

    3. I agree that the American Founders were largely Free Masons, Deists, and Enlightenment Atheists. The current Evangelical claim that America was founded as a fundamentalist Christian society is completely bogus.

    4. Why don’t you tell us about the Free Masons running the Arab world? I’ve heard of joint programs run by Israeli and Jordanian Free Masons for example. Probably MBS is an honorary member too.

    Further evidence that America is a Catholic society is the holiday of Halloween that is coming up soon. This is actually part of the sacred Catholic day of All Saints Day on November 1. (This is known as Day of the Dead in Hispanic countries.) Halloween means Hallowed Eve. But to my knowledge the US is the ONLY nation on earth that has turned this essentially Catholic holiday into a national festival of Halloween. That attests to the power of the American Catholic community.

    I would meet you half-way and suggest that America is an overt Jewish society but a stealth Catholic society. I think in the long run the Catholics will prevail because they are people of faith, they have large families, and they are patient persistent and perceive the long-term perspective. The largely secular Jewish elites have none of these qualities and therefore their success here will be ephemeral.

    However, Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma" is very candid about the essential Kabbalistic and Luciferian nature of the higher degrees.

    There are, unfortunately, a lot of Protestant dupes who join the Craft/Blue Lodges for social status or economic reasons, i.e., the Rotarian/solid citizen types. These do not have to renounce their Christianity explicitly but any mention of Jesus Christ in the lodge is looked down on, if not outright forbidden.

    Many apostate Catholics also join. These are usually more radically anti-Christian than the above types, because joining a Masonic lodge represents for them a total repudiation of their faith. This goes a long way towards explaining the anti-clerical and anti-Catholic bent of the Freemasonry in Latin countries, and the fact that Masonic dominated governments would also enact anti-Catholic legislation with respect to the education of children, public processions, Church owned property, etc.

    As you know, International Jewry is the enemy of all historical Christianity, but it hates the Catholic and Orthodox Churches above all. It is willing to tolerate a weak, secular Protestantism or a moribund modernist deviation of Catholicism, but never a strong, vigorous and orthodox Christian faith and culture.

    Upon further reflection, I'm not certain about my claim regarding Catholicism and a Jerusalem Temple. I recall reading some time back that the Freemasons derive from the Knights Templar, a Catholic religious order that was heavily involved in the Crusades and in fact built their headquarters on the Temple Mount site of Solomon's Temple. That's why they were called the Knights "Templar". They apparently excavated under the Temple Mount area and were very devoted to Solomonic Temple lore.

    Proponents of the Shroud of Turin -- the Catholic religious icon -- believe that during The Fourth Crusade, when Catholic soldiers sacked and looted Constantinople, the Knights Templar stole the Shroud from its place there and brought it back to Western Europe. Shortly after this time a big dispute broke out between them and the Vatican and the Pope, who feared their power popularity and influence, condemned them as a heresy and the leaders of the movement were captured and burned at the stake with the cooperation of the King of France:
    https://vimeo.com/59373614
    https://templarhistory.com/the-templars-and-the-shroud-of-turin/
    https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/knights-secretly-protected-shroud-turin

    (It would be interesting to know if one reason for the Pope's concern was their focus on Solomon's Temple. Perhaps the Vatican felt that this detracted from their concept of role of Rome as the New Jerusalem and the Catholic Church as the new Spiritual Israel?)

    The Templar movement was shut down all over Europe with the exception of Scotland which for some reason continued to tolerate them. Remember that at this time Scotland and England were still part of Catholicism. So the claim is that since the Templars had a vestigial presence in Scotland that explains why Freemasonry has always been associated with Scotland more than anywhere else, since this is the movement the Templars morphed into:
    https://www.history.co.uk/shows/lost-relics-of-the-knights-templar/articles/the-templar-freemason-connection

    So this is a long way of saying that even in Catholicism the Jerusalem Temple might be a central idea. Perhaps the Knights Templar only focused on the ruins of Solomon's Temple but did not anticipate a rebuilt future Jerusalem Temple, as many Protestants today do. I think it's definitely worth having an interview show on the topic A REBUILT JERUSALEM TEMPLE IN CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY AND TRADITION.

    I used to follow Turkish blogger Harun Yahya and he established pretty warm relations with some Zionist leaders. I believe he went on record saying that there is nothing in the Qur'an that would oppose a restored Jewish homeland, and he even argued that the Jews should have religious freedom to worship on the Temple Mount and suggested that a rebuilt Jewish Temple could be constructed up there next to the Mosque. I believe a prominent Turkish female journalist also promoted this perspective. So even in your own chosen faith of Islam it's not clear that a restored Jerusalem Temple would be off limits.

    This might be why Hitler banned the printing of the Old Testament in Germany in his desire to disengage Christianity from its Jewish roots. This is one reason why Pope Pius XI, who died right on the eve of world war II, wrote a harsh encyclical condemning Nazi policies in Germany: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mit_brennender_Sorge

    Replies: @Pierre de Craon

    Here, as elsewhere, your opinions are based largely, if not entirely, on hearsay—and on hearsay coming from sources whose primary characteristic is ignorance.

    What you write simply repeats the Jews’ propaganda about Mit brennender Sorge, perhaps the only encyclical in the entire history of the papacy about which the Jews had a good word to say before their sayanim infiltrated the hierarchy and corrupted and Judaized the Church at the Second Vatican Council.

    In truth the primary concern underlying the composition of Mit brennender Sorge was the abrogation by the German government of its concordat with the Vatican. Hitler’s Germany was neither the first nor the last government to interfere with the God-given right of Catholics to practice their faith, nor even in its own day was it the worst offender. Ever hear of a Jewish state known as the Soviet union?

    The Jews’ favorite paragraph in the encyclical has always been this one.

    8. Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community—however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things—whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.

    Note, please, that neither this paragraph nor any other in the encyclical makes direct reference by name to Hitler or to any of his subordinates or even indeed to Germany, except with regard to the abrogation of the concordat. Furthermore, those to whom the encyclical is primarily addressed are the Catholics of Germany, who are being told by their Holy Father that he is doing everything he can to ensure their ability to live and preach the Faith in all circumstances, whether public or private. As this sort of paternal solicitude is inseparable from the pope’s divinely imposed duties, one is left to wonder why none of the postconciliar popes has adopted a similar tone in addressing the Christ-hating rulers of the Israeli storefront state.

    Another reason—one might indeed call it the real reason—that the Jews have made a big deal of Mit brennender Sorge is so that they can use it as a club to destroy the memory and the reputation of Pope Pius XII, the immediate successor of Pius XI. Although the Jewish claim that Pius XII conspired with the Italian Fascists and the Germans to exterminate the sacred, sacred Jews has no factual basis whatsoever, they and their soi-disant Christian sycophants keep up the attack as a feint to disguise the true basis of their hatred for Pius XII: his unyielding, steadfast condemnation of communism, which he always recognized as a distinctly Jewish form of tyranny and evil.

    It must be admitted that Pius XI had essentially an idée fixe that right-wing movements, especially in France but also in Italy and Germany, were the greatest danger in his day both to the Faith and to Europe. In this notion, he was plainly mistaken—as his principal adviser, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, tried time and again to make him see. Indeed, it is almost certainly thanks to Pacelli that the wording and tone of Mit brennender Sorge is as temperate as it in fact is. Of course, the care taken in its composition has not made it secure from Jewish manipulation and distortion.

    Not so incidentally, Eugenio Pacelli became Pope Pius XII upon his predecessor’s death.

    I find this statement of yours perplexing. How could MBS destroy the reputation of Pope Pius XII when he in fact was the author of this encyclical during his tenure as Vatican Secretary of State and -- as I understand -- the right hand man of Pius XI? PERHAPS YOU CAN PROVIDE SOME EVIDENCE THAT ISN'T JUST HEARSAY OR SPECULATION ON YOUR PART.

    As for the attitude of the Vatican to the state of Israel, Jules Isaac's, a noted French Jewish intellectual, wrote in a book that in a private audience with Pius XII after the war the Pope told him that in compensation for Jewish suffering during the war they would indeed receive the right to return to their historic homeland.

    Please contemplate that statement the next time you chew on your wafer-god! Also please tell us why you seem to have more enmity towards Judaism, which at least admits Jesus was a real historical figure who was crucified, than for Islam, which denies both the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ?

    PS Professor Rychlak's book reports that Pius XII resolutely refused ever to meet with Hitler face to face because he despised him. He also writes that Hitler referred derisively to that Pope as "the Jew-God's deputy in Rome". The following are some comments I emailed to a Hitler-admiring Catholic. Exchange prompted by my article here: https://www.veteranstoday.com/2021/04/22/messianic-secrets-of-the-holocaust-and-9-11/


    Mein Lieber Johann Zinklar,

    Perhaps Pope Pius XII placed great hopes in Hitler as a champion to vanquish Bolshevism. But the same Pope authored the Encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, when he was Secretary of State under Pope Pius XI, that condemned Nazism as idolizing Blut und Land volkische Denken. It also condemned Hitler's decision to ban publication of the Old Testament in German, among many other condemnations. The Encyclical was actually banned in Germany and had to be circulated surreptitiously.

    Now let's consider how Hitler reciprocated the Pope's confidence and encouragement. He referred to him derisively as The Jew-God's Deputy in Rome.

    He murdered many thousands of Polish Catholic priests monks and nuns throughout the course of the war.

    He lived in sin with Eva Braun, refusing to marry her in the Church.

    He promoted eugenic and euthanasia programs that violated Church teachings.

    He tried to create a version of Christianity divorced from its Jewish root, which the Church condemned. And his anti-Jewish policies clearly violated Paul's instructions in Romans 11 that Christians not display arrogance (much less murderous disdain) towards unbelieving Jews.

    He also held as hostages in slave labor camps millions of middle class Jews who were not enemies of Germany all due to his hatred of Jewish Bolsheviks and Jewish capitalists.

    He misunderstood the role of Rothchild bankers in financing Vatican operations thereby ensuring that the Church would have a degree of loyalty to Jews.

    He embraced grotesque pagan symbols and imagery, trying to fuse Christianity with German mythology, again condemned by the Church.

    Jules Isaacs reports that in a meeting with Pope Pius XII after the war, the Pope told him that the enormous suffering of the Jews in the war would be recompensed when God would grant them their own state.

    I would say the Pope's confidence in and hopes for Hitler were unfounded and poorly chosen. He rather should have tried to create an English-American anti-Bolshevik alliance. Consider that even though Winston Churchill ardently opposed Communism and understood its Jewish connection, even so he was willing to ally with Stalin against Hitler. Why? I would say that no matter how noble Hitler's ideals seemed, his vulgar embrace of Jew-hatred made it impossible for other statesmen to support him despite their mutual disdain for Communism.

    I am attaching a scan of a fascinating chapter from the book by Israel's former Chief Rabbi Lau, discussing his meeting with Fidel Castro, whom he called the most intelligent global leader he ever met. In this chapter Castro discusses his Catholic upbringing in Cuba and the virulent anti Semitism he imbibed from his childhood church. He was proud to tell Rabbi Lau that under his leadership Cuba had renounced this mentality:

    Out of the Depths: The Story of a Child of Buchenwald Who Returned Home at Last
    Nov 1, 2011 by Rabbi Israel Meir Lau and Elie Wiesel

    If Communists are willing to eschew Jew-hatred, why wouldn't Jews be attracted to it?

    The Catholic obsession about Communism often leads it into perilous diplomatic waters, such as its embrace of right wing dictators throughout Latin America.

    See this video about the role of Sacredness in our society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZtJP7M-9Og
    Hitler may have aimed at creating a righteous and vigorous Germany, but I doubt anyone would call it sacred. This video points out that institutions that support the sacred often end up compromising with corrupt powers. Communism becomes the (over)reaction against a society that forgets about justice. I call this the tension between the priestly and prophetic offices of the bible.

    I hope you will consider my comments.

So I'm confused why you as a Muslim convert are offended by the Masons? They certainly honor the biblical text a lot more than Muslims do. So what is it about them that so offends you?

    I would hazard to guess that the only thing that offends you about them is that they collaborate with the broader Zionist agenda. You're angry that its members have been co-opted away from opposing Judaism and Zionism on behalf of your religion Islam. Maybe you should consider leaving Islam and drawing its adherents with you back into the Catholic Church? Traditionally that was the biggest enemy of Jewish power and it might be the ally you are seeking.

    Your claim that Zionists created the Protestant movement is laughable. Martin Luther was a Catholic monk who opposed corruption in his church and split. John Calvin may have had a Jewish connection but he was no Zionist. Indeed in his view Geneva in Switzerland was the prophesied heavenly Jerusalem they looked forward to. Henry VIII who created the Anglican Church was certainly no Jew and no Zionist. These kinds of ridiculous assertions simply make it difficult to take anything you say seriously.

    Freemasonry may be a friendly fraternal club for ecumenical elites at the lower levels, but its guiding purpose is establishing a one-world government, and its central myth revolves around the Temple and the glorious project of rebuilding it. Gee, I wonder who could be behind THAT?

    Point taken. As far as a rebuilt Jerusalem Temple, I think this is a pretty widespread view amongst Protestants, especially American evangelicals who follow dispensationalism. I believe that traditionally Catholics considered the Vatican itself to represent the third Jerusalem Temple that is prophesied in the book of Ezekiel. The Catholics to my knowledge are the only Christian group that does not believe in the inevitability of a rebuilt Jewish Jerusalem temple. That's why I keep suggesting that that would be a good spiritual home for you.

    Why don't you get E Michael Jones or Michael Hoffman or some other conservative Catholic spokesman on your show to elaborate on this very important point?!

    True.

    Contemporary International Freemasonry- with the exception of its exclusively Jewish lodges- is the former Christian legacy craft/trade organization which was infiltrated by so called "Christian" occultists then hijacked by international Jewry to form its shabbos goy ancillary.

    The Blue Lodges, wherein the Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees are conferred, are simply the threshold to the higher speculative degrees- which are almost totally Luciferian/Satanic and saturated with the Kabbalah and Talmudism.

    Zionism is Talmudism which has been weaponized- so far-against the Christians and Muslims of Palestine and "Greater Israel," but the greater plan is for subservience of the entire world to its tenets via the imposition of the Noachide Laws and the Tikkun Olam reign of the Antichrist from the newly rebuilt temple in Jersusalem. Freemasonry- via its useful idiots- plays an enormous role in this.

    As a matter of fact the entire Dispensationalist deviation from historical Christianity, along with its Scofield "Reference Bible" appear to be almost entirely a Freemasonic project, given that nearly all of its founders were Freemasons, e.g., Scofield, Darby, etc.

    Upon further reflection, I'm not certain about my claim regarding Catholicism and a Jerusalem Temple. I recall reading some time back that the Freemasons derive from the Knights Templar, a Catholic religious order that was heavily involved in the Crusades and in fact built their headquarters on the Temple Mount site of Solomon's Temple. That's why they were called the Knights "Templar". They apparently excavated under the Temple Mount area and were very devoted to Solomonic Temple lore.

    Proponents of the Shroud of Turin -- the Catholic religious icon -- believe that during The Fourth Crusade, when Catholic soldiers sacked and looted Constantinople, the Knights Templar stole the Shroud from its place there and brought it back to Western Europe. Shortly after this time a big dispute broke out between them and the Vatican and the Pope, who feared their power popularity and influence, condemned them as a heresy and the leaders of the movement were captured and burned at the stake with the cooperation of the King of France:
    https://vimeo.com/59373614
    https://templarhistory.com/the-templars-and-the-shroud-of-turin/
    https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/knights-secretly-protected-shroud-turin

    (It would be interesting to know if one reason for the Pope's concern was their focus on Solomon's Temple. Perhaps the Vatican felt that this detracted from their concept of role of Rome as the New Jerusalem and the Catholic Church as the new Spiritual Israel?)

    The Templar movement was shut down all over Europe with the exception of Scotland which for some reason continued to tolerate them. Remember that at this time Scotland and England were still part of Catholicism. So the claim is that since the Templars had a vestigial presence in Scotland that explains why Freemasonry has always been associated with Scotland more than anywhere else, since this is the movement the Templars morphed into:
    https://www.history.co.uk/shows/lost-relics-of-the-knights-templar/articles/the-templar-freemason-connection

    So this is a long way of saying that even in Catholicism the Jerusalem Temple might be a central idea. Perhaps the Knights Templar only focused on the ruins of Solomon's Temple but did not anticipate a rebuilt future Jerusalem Temple, as many Protestants today do. I think it's definitely worth having an interview show on the topic A REBUILT JERUSALEM TEMPLE IN CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY AND TRADITION.

    I used to follow Turkish blogger Harun Yahya and he established pretty warm relations with some Zionist leaders. I believe he went on record saying that there is nothing in the Qur'an that would oppose a restored Jewish homeland, and he even argued that the Jews should have religious freedom to worship on the Temple Mount and suggested that a rebuilt Jewish Temple could be constructed up there next to the Mosque. I believe a prominent Turkish female journalist also promoted this perspective. So even in your own chosen faith of Islam it's not clear that a restored Jerusalem Temple would be off limits.

    This might be why Hitler banned the printing of the Old Testament in Germany in his desire to disengage Christianity from its Jewish roots. This is one reason why Pope Pius XI, who died right on the eve of world war II, wrote a harsh encyclical condemning Nazi policies in Germany: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mit_brennender_Sorge

    However, Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma" is very candid about the essential Kabbalistic and Luciferian nature of the higher degrees.

    There are, unfortunately, a lot of Protestant dupes who join the Craft/Blue Lodges for social status or economic reasons, i.e., the Rotarian/solid citizen types. These do not have to renounce their Christianity explicitly but any mention of Jesus Christ in the lodge is looked down on, if not outright forbidden.

    Many apostate Catholics also join. These are usually more radically anti-Christian than the above types, because joining a Masonic lodge represents for them a total repudiation of their faith. This goes a long way towards explaining the anti-clerical and anti-Catholic bent of the Freemasonry in Latin countries, and the fact that Masonic dominated governments would also enact anti-Catholic legislation with respect to the education of children, public processions, Church owned property, etc.

    As you know, International Jewry is the enemy of all historical Christianity, but it hates the Catholic and Orthodox Churches above all. It is willing to tolerate a weak, secular Protestantism or a moribund modernist deviation of Catholicism, but never a strong, vigorous and orthodox Christian faith and culture.

    Most of my opinions are based on first hand experience. I've been very candid on this website about who I am and what my experiences have entailed. I know nothing about you however and that's okay because what you wrote here doesn't arouse much curiosity.

    You're completely mistaken about my attitude to Pope Pius XII. I've read a lot about him and I admire him and definitely do not take the Jewish position of demonizing him. In fact I helped edit the second edition of this book by a Catholic law professor in Mississippi that seeks to set the record straight about this Pope:

    https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-1944-a-rabbi-sees-jesus-on-yom-kippur-1.5340800

    I have also speculated that Hitler was the Divine fulfillment of the Marian Apparition at Fatima, noting that the swastika is a symbol of the spinning sun, the sign seen in Portugal by thousands of people back in 1917. I have shared this idea with many American Catholics and they profess deep offense, but nevertheless I think it is true:

    Another reason—one might indeed call it the real reason—that the Jews have made a big deal of Mit brennender Sorge is so that they can use it as a club to destroy the memory and the reputation of Pope Pius XII, the immediate successor of Pius XI.
     
    I find this statement of yours perplexing. How could MBS destroy the reputation of Pope Pius XII when he in fact was the author of this encyclical during his tenure as Vatican Secretary of State and -- as I understand -- the right hand man of Pius XI? PERHAPS YOU CAN PROVIDE SOME EVIDENCE THAT ISN'T JUST HEARSAY OR SPECULATION ON YOUR PART.

    As for the attitude of the Vatican to the state of Israel, Jules Isaac's, a noted French Jewish intellectual, wrote in a book that in a private audience with Pius XII after the war the Pope told him that in compensation for Jewish suffering during the war they would indeed receive the right to return to their historic homeland.

    Please contemplate that statement the next time you chew on your wafer-god! Also please tell us why you seem to have more enmity towards Judaism, which at least admits Jesus was a real historical figure who was crucified, than for Islam, which denies both the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ?

    Multo Grazie

    PS Professor Rychlak's book reports that Pius XII resolutely refused ever to meet with Hitler face to face because he despised him. He also writes that Hitler referred derisively to that Pope as "the Jew-God's deputy in Rome". The following are some comments I emailed to a Hitler-admiring Catholic. Exchange prompted by my article here: https://www.veteranstoday.com/2021/04/22/messianic-secrets-of-the-holocaust-and-9-11/


    Mein Lieber Johann Zinklar,

    Perhaps Pope Pius XII placed great hopes in Hitler as a champion to vanquish Bolshevism. But the same Pope authored the Encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, when he was Secretary of State under Pope Pius XI, that condemned Nazism as idolizing Blut und Land volkische Denken. It also condemned Hitler's decision to ban publication of the Old Testament in German, among many other condemnations. The Encyclical was actually banned in Germany and had to be circulated surreptitiously.

    Now let's consider how Hitler reciprocated the Pope's confidence and encouragement. He referred to him derisively as The Jew-God's Deputy in Rome.

    He murdered many thousands of Polish Catholic priests monks and nuns throughout the course of the war.

    He lived in sin with Eva Braun, refusing to marry her in the Church.

    He promoted eugenic and euthanasia programs that violated Church teachings.

    He tried to create a version of Christianity divorced from its Jewish root, which the Church condemned. And his anti-Jewish policies clearly violated Paul's instructions in Romans 11 that Christians not display arrogance (much less murderous disdain) towards unbelieving Jews.

    He also held as hostages in slave labor camps millions of middle class Jews who were not enemies of Germany all due to his hatred of Jewish Bolsheviks and Jewish capitalists.

    He misunderstood the role of Rothchild bankers in financing Vatican operations thereby ensuring that the Church would have a degree of loyalty to Jews.

    He embraced grotesque pagan symbols and imagery, trying to fuse Christianity with German mythology, again condemned by the Church.

    Jules Isaacs reports that in a meeting with Pope Pius XII after the war, the Pope told him that the enormous suffering of the Jews in the war would be recompensed when God would grant them their own state.

    I would say the Pope's confidence in and hopes for Hitler were unfounded and poorly chosen. He rather should have tried to create an English-American anti-Bolshevik alliance. Consider that even though Winston Churchill ardently opposed Communism and understood its Jewish connection, even so he was willing to ally with Stalin against Hitler. Why? I would say that no matter how noble Hitler's ideals seemed, his vulgar embrace of Jew-hatred made it impossible for other statesmen to support him despite their mutual disdain for Communism.

    I am attaching a scan of a fascinating chapter from the book by Israel's former Chief Rabbi Lau, discussing his meeting with Fidel Castro, whom he called the most intelligent global leader he ever met. In this chapter Castro discusses his Catholic upbringing in Cuba and the virulent anti Semitism he imbibed from his childhood church. He was proud to tell Rabbi Lau that under his leadership Cuba had renounced this mentality:

    Out of the Depths: The Story of a Child of Buchenwald Who Returned Home at Last
    Nov 1, 2011 by Rabbi Israel Meir Lau and Elie Wiesel

    If Communists are willing to eschew Jew-hatred, why wouldn't Jews be attracted to it?

    The Catholic obsession about Communism often leads it into perilous diplomatic waters, such as its embrace of right wing dictators throughout Latin America.

    See this video about the role of Sacredness in our society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZtJP7M-9Og
    Hitler may have aimed at creating a righteous and vigorous Germany, but I doubt anyone would call it sacred. This video points out that institutions that support the sacred often end up compromising with corrupt powers. Communism becomes the (over)reaction against a society that forgets about justice. I call this the tension between the priestly and prophetic offices of the bible.

    I hope you will consider my comments.

    My impression is that the high-level “Catholics” are virtually all freemasons. Since freemasonry (even more than Protestantism) was created by Jewish Zionists as part of their war on Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular, any “Catholic” who’s a freemason, or cooperates with freemasonry, is de facto Jewish not Catholic.... Freemasonry is a scam aimed at bamboozling non-Jews into supporting the establishment of Jerusalem-based global tyranny under a Jewish “messiah” (military dictator/Antichrist).
     
    There's so much BS in this statement I don't have a shovel big enough to remove it.

    1. The Catholics on SCOTUS seem to be pretty devout, loyal to their Church, and sincere in their faith. Ditto I think with Catholic politicians like Paul Ryan. The Catholics in security agencies like FBI, CIA, Military are very devout so far as I've heard. There's great demand for Catholic military chaplains for example to serve those Catholic military personnel.

    2. Free Masonry pre-dates Zionism by a long time. Unless you are referring to the Christian proponents of a restored Jewish homeland, that date back to 17th century England and include people like Queen Victoria, as detailed in this excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Allies-Armageddon-Rise-Christian-Zionism/dp/0300116985

    3. I agree that the American Founders were largely Free Masons, Deists, and Enlightenment Atheists. The current Evangelical claim that America was founded as a fundamentalist Christian society is completely bogus.

    4. Why don't you tell us about the Free Masons running the Arab world? I've heard of joint programs run by Israeli and Jordanian Free Masons for example. Probably MBS is an honorary member too.

    Further evidence that America is a Catholic society is the holiday of Halloween that is coming up soon. This is actually part of the sacred Catholic day of All Saints Day on November 1. (This is known as Day of the Dead in Hispanic countries.) Halloween means Hallowed Eve. But to my knowledge the US is the ONLY nation on earth that has turned this essentially Catholic holiday into a national festival of Halloween. That attests to the power of the American Catholic community.

    I would meet you half-way and suggest that America is an overt Jewish society but a stealth Catholic society. I think in the long run the Catholics will prevail because they are people of faith, they have large families, and they are patient persistent and perceive the long-term perspective. The largely secular Jewish elites have none of these qualities and therefore their success here will be ephemeral.

    It’s not that the Hitler regime was guiltless—any society whose leaders routinely dress in military costume is ipso facto a danger to its citizens—but that its so-called horrors were and are exaggerations relentlessly sold as facts by (((the leaders and propagandists))) of a coalition of victors all of whom were and are guilty of immeasurably worse crimes.

    For example, even putting the killer vaccines to one side for the moment, the worst offenses of the Hitlerjugend program pale to insignificance in comparison with the nonstop indoctrination of American infants and children in an “educational” program that hallows promiscuity, sexual and other moral degeneracies, hatred of all things white, and rabid Christophobia. Perhaps worst of all is the indoctrination virtually from birth, an indoctrination already in train in Western and Soviet societies a century ago, in the lie that so-called anti-Semitism, a phenomenon about as widespread and dangerous as hatred of taffeta, is the worst of all crimes—far, far worse than murder, especially a murder committed by an inherently virtuous Person of Nonwhiteness.

As two complementary tendencies—(1) antagonism to dissent, even when politely and reasonably expressed and especially when it comes from a Christian perspective, and (2) tolerance of hasbara commentary from individuals who desire to limit and deflect criticism, even awareness, of Jewish subversive and totalitarian tendencies—seem to be on the rise at TOO, I ask Mr. Unz’s indulgence for reposting here the comment deleted from TOO.*

    It is hardly surprising that this article by a notable pro-white polemicist who misreads virtually all that is most profound and striking about this justly celebrated thinker as weakness or shortsightedness should prompt sympathetic comments from (1) a faux-reluctant volunteer for intellectual and moral leadership [viz., Hugo Fuerst] who, adopting one of his three or four commenting identities [Hugo Fuerst, Oscar Wilson, Ned Casper, Desert Flower] for the occasion, postures yet again as the preux chevalier of learned probity and (2) a disciple of Wimpy [commenter HamburgerToday] who evidently regards all the most significant core-category elements that white racial nationalism manifested in every epoch when it was at its strongest as mere baggage to be discreetly dropped from the train of history as it slows before crossing a set of points on its journey to … where precisely? Given that the Comte de Maistre is usually and rightly considered one of the progenitors of true European conservatism, as important a category of political thought as any of the past five hundred years—at least, that is, prior to the term’s being stolen to falsely characterize, first, classical liberalism and, much more recently, unrestrained subservience to all things Israeli and indeed Jewish—the gentleman’s disdain for this and other “constituent parts of whiteness” is easy to understand, however unserviceable it might be for any purpose save chitchat.

    As for the third comment, the lady [commenter Barbara] can hardly be blamed for seemingly not knowing that de Maistre reckoned the Jews to be quite as dangerous and deplorable as she herself does since Tom Sunic is silent on the matter. Was this aspect of the count’s outlook perhaps left unremarked upon in the article owing to the institutional verities of the site wherein Doctor Sunic originally published it? Or does the absence of mention offer further confirmation that a core characteristic of virtually every self-styled New Right organization in Europe is that its members are undecided as to which they detest the more: Europe’s Christian (especially Catholic) past or its Jewish present?

    You write: “Best regards to fellow loser John Wear.”

    My response: I am not sure why you call me a loser. I have numerous questions about the official COVID narrative. Some of these questions are:

    If the masks work—Why the six feet?

    If the six feet works—Why the masks?

    If both of the above work—Why the lockdowns?

    If all three of the above work—Why the vaccines?

    If the vaccines are safe—Why protect them with a no liability clause?

    If the vaccines are safe—Why not test them on animals before using them on humans?

    If the vaccines are safe—Why did Tiffany Dover, a healthy 30-year-old nurse, faint 17 minutes after receiving a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine? Is Tiffany Dover dead? Why are so many other people having adverse reactions and dying from the vaccines?

    If it normally takes 10 to 15 years to develop vaccines—How were the COVD-19 vaccines safely developed in less than a year?

    If the vaccines are safe—Why not fully disclose all of the ingredients in the vaccines?

    If successful vaccines have never been developed for other coronaviruses—Why should we expect successful vaccines for this coronavirus?

    If SARS-CoV-2 exists—Why has it never been isolated?

    If SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated—How can effective vaccines be developed?

    If SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated–How can SARS-CoV-2 variants be determined to exist?

    If the RT-PCR test works—Why so many false positives?

    If Kary Mullis, the inventor of the RT-PCR test who conveniently died in August 2019, said his test shouldn’t be used to diagnose infectious diseases—Why use it to detect SARS-CoV-2?

    If the RT-PCR test works—Why did samples from papaya fruit and a goat sent to a testing lab by Tanzanian President John Magufuli, using fictitious human names and ages, test positive for SARS-CoV-2?

    If there is an epidemic—Why so many empty hospitals?

    If large numbers of people are dying from SARS-CoV-2—Why so many fake causes of death on the death certificates? Are flu deaths being recharacterized as COVID-19 deaths?

    If SARS-CoV-2 exists—Why give doctors financial incentives to diagnose SARS-CoV-2?

    If the official COVID-19 narrative is defensible—Why censor people who dispute this narrative? Why not debate them instead?

    If the official COVID-19 narrative is defensible—Why are national leaders who contest this narrative, such as Haitian President Jovenel Moise, Tanzanian President John Magufuli, and Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza, dying at relatively young ages and being replaced by leaders who support the official COVID-19 narrative?

    If the vaccines work—Why did President Joe Biden say that the unvaccinated pose a threat to the vaccinated?

    As if by design, a fortuitously (if not strategically) mutated SARS-2 has appeared that’s able to evade the mRNA vaxxines with several mutations in its spike protein that are undetectable by the anti-bodies created by the vaxxines…

     

    As most everyone already knows, the various protocols which use cheap, safe, readily available and extremely effective medicines to cure Corona Chan don't care about Corona Chan "variants" - they cure them all. That's why governments, their subsidiary regulatory agencies and the Globalist-controlled media are doing everything in their power to block and ban any such medicines (and even nutritional supplements) and destroy any medical professional that attempts to use them.

    Dr. Zelenko has a 99.9% success rate treating even highly vulnerable Corona Chan patients with his Z-Stack protocol.

    Now a South African doctor, Dr Shankara Chetty, has come up with a new approach which has 100% success rate curing Corona Chan patients, and it doesn't use any off-label medicines at all.


    Dr Shankara Chetty's "8th Day Protocol" - Cures Corona Chan with No Side Effects, No Off-Label Medicines

    http://www.asiapacifictoday.tv/covid-19-and-the-8th-day-protocol-it-deserves-urgent-global-attention/

     

    From the Asia Pacific Today article...


    Dr Shankara Chetty’s “8th Day Protocol” deserves urgent global attention. He achieved 100% success with over 7,000 patients, no oxygen needs developed, none needed hospitalisation and none died.

    Dr Chetty operates from an open-air clinic in rural South Africa, and no infection spread among his staff. His Protocol has been successful with the first wave, second wave, Delta wave, and with those getting reinfected post vaccination. The Protocol is being studied and applied in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, US and other countries.

     

    ... but don't expect to see this new protocol given any coverage at all in Australia, in fact the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration will take immediate steps to outlaw it completely.

    The Corona Chan "pandemic" has never been about "health" in Australia, it's always been about the New World Order.

    Now the Victorian government is pushing a new bill to give Dictator Dan the unilateral power to declare a "pandemic" whenever he feels like it, even if there is no-one in Australia with any alleged disease, and then enforce whatever arbitrary "public health orders" he deems fit under penalty of huge fines ($90,000) and 2 years imprisonment - all to force every living thing in Victoria to take every single one of the government's mandated injections, forever.

    Which shows that the nazi leadership were insane, because then they knew that the USA was out to get them, and would surely win, and yet declared war on the USA when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. The japanese leadership were also quite sure that they would lose the war, and only attacked because they thought that surrendering without fighting was dishonourable, which at least was a culturally appropriate rationale. But what was the nazi rationale for starting a war that they were sure to lose very badly? Just love of "Gotterdamerung"?

    Note: at the time the USA were financing and supporting the enemies of nazism, rather than being fully neutral, but even so that was very different from starting an open war with them.

    … Which shows that the Nazi leadership were insane, because then they knew that the USA was out to get them, and would surely win, and yet declared war on the USA when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

    There are several good reasons to regard the German declaration of war in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor as very sensible indeed. I list what I think are two of the best below.

    (1) The FDR administration’s Rainbow Five plan, which outlined the conquest and destruction of Germany by a five-million-man invasion force, envisioned 1943 as the earliest possible date for the plan’s execution. Although court historians dismiss the plan as a hoax meant to frighten the Germans, their rationale is based less on evidence than on rationalization. Furthermore, although the usual claim is that the German government first learned of the plan when the Chicago Tribune—whose owner, Robert McCormick, detested FDR—broke the story on December 4, 1941, there is no reason to think that Germany’s formidable intelligence network had not already learned of the plan. This is especially so in light of (a) Germany’s former alliance with the Soviet Union and (b) the widespread and now widely known infiltration of FDR’s inner circle by Soviet agents and fellow travelers.

    (2) The German-Japanese alliance was extremely important to the long-term goals of both governments. Yet by early 1941 it had reached a point of greater instability than it would ever again know till the end of the war. The Russians inflicted a catastrophic defeat on the Japanese at Nomonhan in their Manchurian border war of 1939, but within a month or so of that defeat, the Russians and Germans signed the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop pact—but it was no secret to Japan, Germany’s deeply insulted ally, which suffered a grave loss of face from the pact. Thus, it became a central aim of German diplomatic policy to keep relations with Japan from deteriorating further. So in early December 1941, why not aid an indispensable ally when you know that the country your ally has gone to war with is planning to attack you in two years with an overwhelming force that is still in a state that is a long way from readiness?

    Putting (1) and (2) together, it shouldn’t be hard to see that the German government might consider war with the United States as the least undesirable of the several undesirable alternatives with which it was presented. Indeed, the United States exhibited far less rationality after 9/11 when it went to war with Afghanistan and Iraq—unless, that is, one considers the maintenance of perpetual subservience to a certain Tribe sufficient explanation for every foolish, criminal, and monstrous act.

    Roosevelt had absolutely no means of persuading the public to support something like Rainbow Five until Hitler had actually declared war. After Pearl Harbor the public was raring to go to war against Japan. But without Hitler declaring war there would have been no way for Roosevelt to get them to go to war against Germany. Leaking Rainbow Five to a hostile newspaper like The Chicago Tribune makes perfect sense as an effective way for Roosevelt to induce Hitler to declare war first. As a dictator in Germany Hitler tended to underestimate the degree to which Roosevelt depended upon swaying public opinion.

    As it is unlikely that anyone in the government will ever release official records supporting any position that doesn’t flatter FDR, I won’t waste time or keystrokes in an argument based solely on speculation. Thus, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that I prefer my own assessment of the pre-war situation here and abroad to yours.

    That said, I shall add only that I do not share your opinion that there were effective practical limits on what American presidents from Lincoln to the present could get away with and did. (I omit virtue as a limit because of its extreme scarcity among public figures.) The sole limiting factor, at least till 2020, was the quadrennial election and the desire of the incumbent, almost always with his party’s support, to win it.* Now, however, that any election that is not entirely dependent on paper ballots and the close scrutiny of every aspect of polling by white Christian men of integrity must be considered ipso facto fraudulent, the time for anyone of sense to continue indulging the myriad fantasies of “democracy” that are peddled nonstop to a willingly gullible public is well and truly over.

    I wish that I had kept a record of the remarks of the cynical but frank official who said somewhere last November that it was necessary to steal the 2020 election so that no future election would have to be stolen. Until his sort, which has been around for millennia, is shot on sight, truly limited government will not stand a chance of again finding a home anywhere on this planet.

As Fleming points out, it was basically impossible for FDR to overtly advocate a war against Germany after Pearl Harbor without Hitler first declaring war. The most he could do was insinuate on December 9 that Hitler had somehow been party to Japan's strike on Pearl Harbor.

    You have changed the subject to something you’d rather talk about and are acting as if I have been talking about it, too! Can’t you see that?

    Don’t you see that there is no inherent contradiction between what you call Fleming’s thesis vis-à-vis a leak of the Rainbow 5 plan by FDR’s White House to the Chicago Tribune and what I wrote in comment no. 446? Besides, his thesis is a surmise through and through, as he freely admits. The fact that it makes sense—in a very, very limited framework—makes it no less a surmise, however.

    There is also the fact that Fleming assumes Rainbow 5 to have been a hoax. It wasn’t. Do you think that the Morgenthau Plan simply materialized out of thin air? Do you really deny the presence of Soviet agents in the government? Can’t you understand that they must have been cooperating with German intelligence while the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was in effect and that when the pact broke down, they too were pushing Roosevelt hard to declare war on Germany?

    Furthermore, I repeat what I plainly implied in 448: it is naive to contend that FDR would have found it “basically impossible” to declare war against Germany absent a prior declaration of war by Germany itself. For one thing, every highly placed Jew in the United States and the UK—especially those atop the banking world, most of whom were Rothschilds or affiliated with them—had been pushing for the USA to enter the war against Germany since September 1939, indeed earlier. For FDR, a man whose lust for power and money were insatiable, the choice between the desires of powerful Jews and the needs of ordinary American citizens—some of whom had had the gall to vote for someone else!—was not a tough choice to make.

    Just as the present-day revolution within American society, the radical corruption of the already questionable electoral process, and the worldwide covid hoax are pieces in a larger plan, so too were the dozen or so threads that brought the United States into a murderous and unnecessary world war—unnecessary for all save the Jewish bankers and power brokers and those they had bought or blackmailed, including a president who effectively ruled for life and might still be president were he alive today.

    Absolutely silly. There certainly is a contradiction between your claim that FDR had the political power to enact something like Rainbow 5 without a declaration of war from Germany and the facts about how he was forced to maneuver. FDR did not have supernatural powers but was simply a canny politician who knew how to provoke reactions. In this case, the reaction by Hitler of a declaration of war against his better instincts.

    I didn't go off about German-Japanese relations within the Axis because it seemed unnecessary, but if you want to get onto that then Fleming had already covered the points. Hitler was personally flabbergasted at Japan's move to bomb Pearl Harbor. He had made promises to Japan that he would support them in a general conflict, but had expected that they would attack British forces without bringing a whole new power, the USA, into the war. His first inclination was to let Japan stew in a mess which it had created. Concern over German-Japanese relations was not his motive when declaring war on the USA.

    What influenced him to finally declare was exactly the leak about Rainbow 5 and the assumption that Roosevelt would be able to act upon this independently without needing a German declaration of war. That was a miscalculation where he interpreted things the way Roosevelt had intended. But no, Roosevelt did not have any power to do this. You're simply exaggerating Roosevelt's ability to ram through anything at anytime that he liked, when he did not have such powers.

    I ought to have noted in my previous reply that your silence about the complex internal politics within the Axis alliance leads me to think that it’s an area with which you are largely unfamiliar, particularly with regard to the stresses acting upon it, especially but not solely those involving Japan and Germany. This is important stuff.

    Also, concerning both Germany and Japan, for reasons of space I neglected to mention that Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor—which scrupulously targeted none but military and naval objectives—and Germany’s subsequent declaration of war on the United States were in fact replies to aggression, not initiating acts of aggression themselves. By December 1941, FDR had plainly involved the United States in the war in open collusion with the Allies in the European, Asian mainland, Atlantic, and Pacific theaters. In other words, according to international law, the USA had been guilty of dozens of casūs belli before what was, strictly speaking, Japan’s reprisal attack on Pearl Harbor.

    Pope Francis might discover just how many traditional and faithful Catholics are happy to walk, if he continues to push his heretically borderline nonsense. Obedience to the Pope has long been central to Catholicism, but that was with an implicit understanding that the Holy Father upheld sacred tradition, instead of cobbling together doctrine from his fever dreams and personal whims.

    Francis claims he wants to bring the Church in line with the world. But a Church playing yes-man to Caesar soon loses any serious reason for being, which the more conspiratorially minded suspect Francis, in fact, knows.

    You have precisely articulated Jones’s gravest failing, a failing that undercuts the ultimate value of his analysis of the JQ. His work as a diagnostician is truly remarkable, but his open embrace of Conciliarism and undisguised hostility to Traditionalism are the sources of most of the jaw-dropping bêtises that litter his books, articles, and speeches. These are not incidental matters. His acute powers of diagnosis are rendered nugatory so long as the cure he proposes—namely, the corrupted faith of conciliarism—is even more poisonous in the spiritual realm than the covid vaxxes are in the corporeal.

    To cite perhaps the most obvious and important example, no preconciliar Catholic, in common with today’s Traditional Catholics, would ever have dismissed the central importance of race and ethnicity as Jones insists on doing. Indeed, it is only since the subversion of the Faith wrought by the Second Vatican Council that “official Catholic” attitudes toward the Jews, which formerly ranged from grudging but suspicious tolerance out to full recognition of their unmitigable hatred of the Cross, have gotten rebuilt on the concept of the Jews’ being Christians’ [ahem] elder brothers in supernatural faith. If Jones has ever dismissed the “elder brothers” obscenity with the contempt it merits, it will come as news to me.

    Absolutely silly. There certainly is a contradiction between your claim that FDR had the political power to enact something like Rainbow 5 without a declaration of war from Germany and the facts about how he was forced to maneuver. FDR did not have supernatural powers but was simply a canny politician who knew how to provoke reactions. In this case, the reaction by Hitler of a declaration of war against his better instincts.

    I didn't go off about German-Japanese relations within the Axis because it seemed unnecessary, but if you want to get onto that then Fleming had already covered the points. Hitler was personally flabbergasted at Japan's move to bomb Pearl Harbor. He had made promises to Japan that he would support them in a general conflict, but had expected that they would attack British forces without bringing a whole new power, the USA, into the war. His first inclination was to let Japan stew in a mess which it had created. Concern over German-Japanese relations was not his motive when declaring war on the USA.

    What influenced him to finally declare was exactly the leak about Rainbow 5 and the assumption that Roosevelt would be able to act upon this independently without needing a German declaration of war. That was a miscalculation where he interpreted things the way Roosevelt had intended. But no, Roosevelt did not have any power to do this. You're simply exaggerating Roosevelt's ability to ram through anything at anytime that he liked, when he did not have such powers.

    Thank you for the reminder about Civiltà cattolica. Jones’s reassertion of it is, of course, important as far as it goes. His refusal to explicitly repudiate the council’s “doctrinal updatings,” however, indicates that he is still hedging his bets.

    As to your interpretation of the present-day conciliar church, I do not agree with a word of it. What you dismissively term “Lefebvre’s movement” is Roman Catholicism stricto sensu. The pope is still pope, yes—and none except sedevacantists deny it—but the primary function of Francis and all his conciliar predecessors (save John Paul I, who didn’t reign long enough to do harm or good) has been to lead the “renegade movement” in defiance of Faith and Tradition.

    To assert, as you do, the demands of Authority as paramount when those who wield the highest authority in the Church’s temporal structure are requiring you to reimagine or distort or sabotage the Faith handed down once and for all time by the Apostles is to compromise both necessarily unchangeable Faith and rightly understood Authority.

    Sorry for the late reply. I did not mean to be dismissive about Lefebvre, I just look at him as at any other historical figure. I tend to believe part of his legacy was providential (even with a capital P), part human error.

    You know as well as I that catholicism strictu senso includes unity. After all, the four Church attributes are One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Going outside is a mistake, for where else is He present? Where else to find the grace to live a higher and sacramental life?

    I have seen, unfortunately, several truly devout persons realize the homoheresy now in power. They have been shocked and fallen away, and are now adrift between veganism and God knows what else. Mind you, they still retain some good habits, and pray. Yet something changed. It makes me think about Pascal's saying that there are three paths to Faith: by inspiration, by reason and by habit, as happens to devout cradle Catholics. These last really suffer because of the ... sin of scandal.

    The Faith is beyond Francis' or any single man's power to destroy. Remember Chesterton's witticism about the Faith having five time gone to the dogs, and every time the dogs died. Those past dogs are no doubt regretting they did not get a millstone around their necks. The current ones also will. Francis and those that preceded him are simply the cross of our times.

    You know what He said about crosses. Quo vadis, Pierre?

Even that beleaguered Loudoun father who was abused by the (((authorities))) showed himself to be utterly brainwashed about every victimization hoax in existence: transgenderism, gay marriage, black suffering—you name it, he kissed its butt. If, on the other hand, the poor guy thought that acknowledging the wonderfulness of all these fresh-picked Orwellian truths might persuade the (((Inner Party))) functionaries to treat the tranny as the criminal and his daughter as the victim—as they would have been seen in the bad old days of the twentieth-century white supremacists—then we have merely witnessed another instance where hope triumphed over experience.

What I do have, however, and have in abundance are long-held, deep-set prejudices and preconceptions about both artifacts.

    Let me explain. I was almost thirty when the play opened in New York in 1973. A great many people I knew at Lincoln Center, where I had then been working about five years, dashed off to see the play in the roughly month and a half it survived on Broadway. Most of them knew of the play’s enthusiastic reception in London and Los Angeles, and they were not alone in being surprised at how badly it failed in New York. Given that all those who took the most delight in it were either fags or fag hags, however, its attraction for me (i.e., being neither) was nonexistent. Indeed, I recall a clever crack made at the time by a work buddy of mine, a limey who had recently permanently relocated to the States. “Who ever would have thought,” he drily noted, “that Broadway crowds would exhibit more taste than those in the West End!”

    When the movie appeared about two years later, all the queens and their hangers-on lined the sidewalks for the midnight showings, but lo and behold! now they were joined by seemingly endless throngs of black-clad undergrads from Columbia, Radcliffe, and NYU and even their more down-market contemporaries from the many bridge-and-tunnel colleges and unis within an hour’s commute of Manhattan. The attraction the film had for these untouchables warned me off it as effectively as if some Dantesque character had confronted me, shouting “Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate.”

    Returning to the present, I must say, nearing conclusion, that what my prejudices tell me is that, had I ever seen either play or movie, my mind and heart would be with the critiques of Fr. John and Al Liguori** rather than with the deeply admired author. All the more reason for me to rejoice that my opinion, if I indeed had one, would be worthless.

    Finally, I would be extraordinarily pleased if, one day, Ed Connelly got an itch to draft an analysis of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village. Besides its being, along with Dean Spanley,*** one of the very few truly notable specimens of film art of this rapidly aging and decaying century, The Village is, first and foremost, a profound critique of (((Satanic))) modernity and a defiant rejection of all its works and all its pomps. That none (save yours truly) seems to have spotted it as such perhaps explains why the film hasn’t suffered the fate of Song of the South.

    I think many of the commenters here are refusing to give RHPS the respect it deserves.
    This is a work of art that has stayed in (limited) release for over 40 years. Simple pornography no matter how titillating simply doesn’t do that. A great work of art survives down the years because it has a deep resonance with powerful forces that are greater than any particular time, place or person.
    @ Anonymous[382] is certainly correct that its ratio of queer sex to righteous action is about 99.5 to 0.5, but it’s that final part which shows us what that queerness actually is. Frank ‘n Furter must be destroyed, Rocky must die, it’s the only ending that makes any sense. That’s not because of any lingering bourgeois morality on the part of Richard O’Brien, it’s because that’s the ending which has the deep resonance with the human psyche and the nature of reality, or if you like The Will of God.
    Over on The Occidental Observer, SmithsFan84 makes a very valid comparison between Frank ‘n Furter and Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Don Giovanni is intelligent, aristocratic and charming. He’s also a rapist and a murderer and must finally pay for his crimes. Mozart gives us vastly more time showing him being witty and seducing women rather than him being dragged down to hell by the ghost of the man he killed. But it is his final conclusion that shows us the man he truly was.
    What sort of stories would men like @ Fr. John have us make ? Stories that are just records of heroic manly men being masculine and brave then winning the love of the chaste and virtuous princess ? That’s no story at all. Or would you have us take Plato’s advice and ban poets from our Republic because you don’t know how to deal with them ?
    Turning your back on this type of art and refusing to engage because it’s too gay and queer is a cowardly and foolish choice. The decadence and queerness is part of the human condition and must be understood to be overcome.
    One final point concerning Richard O’Brien and the character of Riff Raff that he chose and presumably wrote for himself.
    Riff Raff and his sister Magenta are the only characters who end up with an honorable conclusion, only they get a redemption arc. Riff Raff was the decadent servant of an evil master but seizes command and drops the hammer of justice on him.
    That is the way The Hamilton City council chose to depict their most famous son when they immortalized him in bronze, not as the hunchbacked creepy butler but as the bold space commander with a weapon in his hand.
    O’Brien wanted to create and play the role of the hero and so he did, and so should we all.

He’s also a rapist and a murderer and must finally pay for his crimes. Mozart gives us vastly more time showing him being witty and seducing women rather than him being dragged down to hell by the ghost of the man he killed. But it is his final conclusion that shows us the man he truly was.

    This is the sort of paragraph for which the adjective specious was invented. Every statement in it has a soupçon of naughtiness calculated to appeal to the contrarian and iconoclast in all of us (well, in many of us). Yet very little of substance in the claims made about Giovanni survives close examination.

    1) There are no grounds for calling Giovanni a murderer. A seducer and womanizer, yes, but not a murderer. No court in then-contemporary Spain, far less a US court of today, would have convicted him of anything worse than involuntary manslaughter, probably with sentence suspended. Had Giovanni’s short fuse not prompted him to duel an old man whose defeat was a foregone conclusion, he would never even have had to face trial. (It’s not as if Giovanni killed a black thug who had already fired six shots at him. That would be a murder-plus-hate charge, with a conviction guaranteed.)

    2) Calling him “intelligent, aristocratic and charming” in the manner suggesting a soon-to-follow “but” is trite at best. Whether in the opera or in history, Giovanni was an aristocrat, and he was esteemed by all, as Ottavio confirms, for his intelligence and cultivation. Yet it is plain that not every woman was blind to his designs.

    3) Mozart decidedly does not spend a vast amount of time showing Giovanni at his witty, seductive best. On the contrary, the opera shows him having three utterly clumsy erotic encounters—the badly bungled bedroom invasion chez Anna, where, when the audience enters, Giovanni’s sole concern is getting away; the laughably abandoned seduction attempt of his unrecognized ex-wife, Elvira; and the thwarted seduction of the peasant bride Zerlina—and just one apparent success, with Elvira’s maid. (As those who know the opera know well, the disguised Leporello has more success with Elvira than Giovanni does.) Giovanni’s reputation as a lover, aggressive or otherwise, is something we are told we must believe by a man—viz., Leporello— whose continued employment requires constant flattery: “In Italia seicento e quaranta, in Almagna duecento e trentuna, cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna, ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre!”

    4) In the final scene of the opera per se (i.e., excluding the epilogue), Giovanni is indeed dragged down to hell by demons who call him a great sinner. Still, despite the inadvisability of treating a supernatural visitor with the impoliteness Giovanni exhibits toward the Statue, straight through to the end of that scene he certainly lives up to his description of himself, the one given as he escapes a virtual army of pursuers at the end of act 1: “ma non manca in me coraggio!” He exhibits similar sangfroid in the graveyard scene, when Leporello is understandably trembling in terror.

    Taken all in all, the opera presents Giovanni as a bit of a bungler in the romantic arena but also as a man whose courage in the face of his enemies inspires profound admiration, even awe.

    SmithsFan 84 was dead wrong.

    Well Monsieur de Craon, have you be seduced by Mozart’s remarkable score or by Don Giovanni himself ? Strip away the music, costumes and scenery and you will see that Don Giovanni was a murderer and an evil man. Don’t be so sure that a then-contemporary Spanish court wouldn’t see that too and found him guilty.
    Here is an alternative version, which would have cut the opera very short but is worth considering, what if the authorities apprehend Don Giovanni and Luperello at the end of scene 1 and send both to trial ? What could they possibly say in their own defense that isn’t a total lie ? We don’t have to use the audiences’ eye of God or a C.S.I. Seville to do a finger print and D.N.A. analysis, we would have a deceased victim, blood all over Don Giovanni’s sword and clothes, and the testimony of Donna Anna herself.
    That “the badly bungled bedroom invasion chez Anna,” is an armed home invasion with intent to commit sexual assault. What’s a just sentence for that crime alone ? It’s worth 10 years to life in my jurisdiction, in then-contemporary Spain probably life as a galley slave.
    “Giovanni’s sole concern is getting away” yes, and he stabs to death the man who attempts to stop him, that’s murder. It’s not a “duel”, dueling between noblemen had very clear rules of conduct and he followed none of them.
    The Commendatore was killed by an armed intruder on his own property, defending his family against a man who had no legitimate business being there. That is a deliberate and considered homicide whilst in the commission of a crime, that’s not only murder but aggravated murder. The aggravating circumstances being entering by night and attempted rape. I’m not actually an expert on the jurisprudence of renaissance Spain but I can’t see how he escapes a capital sentence.
    The court, which presumably consists of noblemen, would also take into consideration the Commendatore’s age and many years of military service to the state when passing sentence. In my version of this hypothetical opera, the court leans on Luperello, and gives him immunity from prosecution as an accomplice to murder in return for his testimony. I think he would take the deal, he hates his master and only stays with him through threats and bribery.
    What could Luperello possibly say that could save the Don or mitigate his punishment ? If he speaks truthfully the court would learn that it’s hardly the first time he has tried to pull off something like this. Don Giovanni is only esteemed by all for his intelligence and cultivation because nobody (but Luperello) knows who he truly is.
    Those noblemen of the court would have homes and families themselves. They will see that if Donny G is allowed to walk then the next dead man lying in his own blood in his own garden after trying to defend his daughter from sexual assault could very well be them.
    They will convict him, they will hang him and they would be right to do so.
    In short what the Commendatore did was right. He was a noble man who spent his life in defense of the state and died in defense of his family. After his death the grateful people of the community raised a statue in his honor. What Don Giovanni did was wrong. He was aristocratic by birth but ignoble by nature. He was a murderer and a sexual predator who never did anything for anyone other than himself. After his death the people of the city will leave his corpse on the gallows for the crows.
    At least they will in my Neo Reactionary version of the opera. I’m working on the libretto right now, it shall be called;

    Il dissoluto punito con estrema rapidità, cioè Don Giovanni, (un'opera in 1 atto)
    Or if you prefer;
    Le débauché puni avec une extrême rapidité, c'est-à-dire Don Giovanni, (opéra en 1 acte)

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is unfortunately unavailable but I’ve had my people reach out to Yngwie Malmsteen’s people to see what he can do with the score.
    It should be ready for it’s Vienna debut in time for the 2023-24 season.

    What follows concludes my part in this discussion, such as it is.

    The question before the house is not one of seduction but one of familiarity with the text and the score. I have sixty years’ worth of the latter. You can go on as long as you like about specifics or overall meaning, but there is little to nothing in the opera to support the positions you have taken. As I said at the start, SmithsFan84 was and is dead wrong in his characterization of what the opera presents. If you agree with his silly, too-clever-by-half characterization, you are dead wrong, too.

    Two small points in conclusion.

    (1) The name of the servant of Don Giovanni is Leporello.

    (2) In act 1, scene 2, when Giovanni is struggling to get free of Anna, her father, the Commendatore, appears. Here follows the brief dialogue preceding their duel (I have omitted Leporello’s comic asides and the several repetitions, in whole or in part, of the characters’ lines before Giovanni finally tells the Commendatore that he is at the latter’s disposal if he wishes to die):

    IL COMMENDATORE
    Lasciala, indegno! Battiti meco!

    DON GIOVANNI
    Va, non mi degno di pugnar teco.

    IL COMMENDATORE
    Così pretendi da me fuggir?

    DON GIOVANNI
    Misero, attendi, se vuoi morir!

    [They duel. The Commendatore is wounded and sinks to the ground, dying.]

    IL COMMENDATORE
    Ah, soccorso! son tradito! L’assassino m’ha ferito, e dal seno palpitante sento l’anima partir.

    [He dies.]

    Note that after being mortally wounded in the duel, a duel he demanded, the Commendatore dishonestly cries out that he has been betrayed and is the victim of an assassin. Thus, he dies with a lie on his lips. Put otherwise, both antagonists have, for no licit cause, permitted pride to dictate their actions, and the consequences have been mortal. No one emerges from this scene smelling like a rose. It is precisely this dimension of moral indecision and confusion that has been a contributing factor to the fascination with this remarkable opera for several centuries.

    Richard Wagner’s Der Ring Des Nibelungen, conducted by Sir George Solti was the most expensive recording project of its time. It started in 1958 and wasn’t finished until 1965. What started as a mono recording, ended up in stereo as that’s how fast recording technology changed while the Ring was in production.

    Anyone interested in supporting Wagner’s family and estate should buy a copy before it is banned and censored from the world to hear.

    Replies: @Pierre de Craon

    … What started as a mono recording [in 1958], ended up in stereo [in 1965] …

    The entire Ring cycle was recorded in stereo from day one. Indeed, Decca had been recording everything in stereo since 1957, and the company’s earliest stereo recordings had been made about three years prior—that is, not long after the earliest RCA and Columbia stereo tapings. The only holdout was the EMI consortium, which moved entirely to stereo only in 1958 (it might even have been 1959 for British EMI).

    I should add that the preceding comments refer solely to these companies’ classical catalogs. Pop music producers dragged their feet a lot longer, in no small part because the people they were selling to didn’t especially care about stereo for quite some time.

    To return to the Solti Ring: All four operas were released in two LP formats, mono and stereo, as was customary for almost twenty years.* At least here in the States, Das Rheingold, the first of the four to be recorded and released, was for a time easier to find in the mono LP format, especially outside the big cities. This did not continue to be the case with Siegfried, Götterdämmerung, and Walküre, however (that being the order of their recording and release).

    Although I do not share your high opinion of Solti’s conducting—many of his singers are, however, of the highest quality—I emphatically agree about Culshaw’s Ring Resounding. I had the good fortune to meet him once, quite briefly. He was as modest and self-effacing a man as I have ever encountered.

    Thanks for spotting my error in mono to stereo evolution of the Ring recording. I could have sworn Gordon Parry mentioned that in 1974. Then it dawned on me, it may have been Dolby noise reduction that came along sometime in the sixties, during which piece, I’m can’t remember, launching Ray Dolby Laboratories, and the rest is history.
    In any case, it was in my opinion, the greatest music recording production in the history of recorded music.

If you eat 5X a week at McDonald's and Taco Bell yeah you are getting way too much salt. If you make your own food you probably have nothing to worry about at all as salt in a certain amount is an essential nutrient. A small amount of pickles or sauerkraut is perfectly tasty and good for you! Cabbage is health food although it does make you fart. : )

    It's not Jewish shit. It is modernist shit.

    Classical/concert music is dead from, say, the 1930s/40s. It doesn’t exist anymore except for a few, very few people who could be regarded as an esoteric sect.

    Nobody, except almost sectarians, listens to that production. One can check music shops & similar areas & will find that, statistically, 99% of concert music repertory what customers buy & listen to belongs to the era that ends with WW1 or around. Early Stravinsky, some Schoenberg's pieces, Orff, perhaps some Honegger…and that’s it. John Cage, Stockhausen …nothing.

    This is, give or take- noise.

    Nobody cares for it. Nobody listens to it. Even if we put aside the central repertory (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert, Verdi, Wagner, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Palestrina, Brahms, …), I bet that old-timers like Hildegard von Bingen, Machaut, Ars Antiqua, Gregorian chant… outsell all composers from the 1940s on by so wide a margin that it would be tasteless to mention it.

    The point is- music, serious Western/global music has vanished because the communication has been broken. The rest is not silence- but noise.

    Ladies & gentlemen, meet Karlheinz Stockhausen:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ykQFrL0X74

    Or, even better- John Cage who should be better put in a cage, or, to educate him- in the Gulag:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4

    The same goes for visual arts where the last painters worth looking at were, say, Schiele, Klee, Kandinsky, Chagall, Malevich (here, I’m not so sure), Delaunay, de Chirico, Rouault & a few others.

    Warhol, Pollock …pooh, nothing.

    Imaginative literature has been spared of that dismal fate simply because we don’t communicate in brush strokes or music notes. That’s why stories or novels written from 1950 to 2020 can- at least, some of them, still be read & enjoyed.

    One can read & enjoy Mann, Yourcenar, Lampedusa, Canetti, Garcia Marquez, Singer, Moravia, Grass, Solzhenitsyn, Shalamov, McCarthy, Grass, even Leonov, Coetzee, Borges, Thomas Berger, Faulkner's "The Mansion" or Grossman's "Everything Flows".

    With music,it's preaching to the converted. Only one great work stands out, Orff's "Carmina", and a few popular, but lesser works by Shostakovich, Rachmaninov, Ravel... but that's, more or less- finished.

    They don't speak to mind/body/soul as did Richard the Lionheart:

    That’s a distinction in terminology but not a real difference. The two are virtually interchangeable when it comes to the fine arts and architecture, or culture as a whole.

    Jewry thrives and dominates in the age of money and commodification, since it lays the foundations for it. As a collective is not capable of providing a qualitative substitute for beauty and sublimity; thus it seeks to divert art in the direction of a commodity by degrading it and drowning it in a sea of mediocrity and ugliness. It invents a new pseudo-aesthetic ideal to better serve the over arching purpose of money making. So the hack and fraudster take the place of the artist and composer, in deference to the gallery owner and dealer, and the music or art (((critic))).

    Replies: @Michael Korn, @Pierre de Craon

    The language being sung is French. The music is the celebrated Barcarole that opens what is usually called either the “Venice act” or the “Giulietta act” of Les contes d’Hoffmann. This act was composed as act 3 of the opera—which in toto consists of a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue—but for most of the past 150 years it has been performed as act 2. It is only within the last twenty years or so that producers and opera houses have shown an inclination to follow the composer’s preferences.

    The tale of the score’s and the composer’s misfortunes and misadventures is a long one and not suitable for retelling in the present context.

    Here follows the full text of what Garança (as Nicklausse) and Netrebko (as Giulietta) sing.

    That “kind of aroma” is present in all articles of Affirmative Right of which James Lawrence is a habitual writer. I strongly suspect that outfit of being crypto-Jewish and anti-White Nationalist. In all its articles it tries to undermine WN while at the same time exculpating Jews. For example it tried to prove that Jews played no major role in the Communist take over of Russia at all. Criticism of Andrew Anglin went so far as accusing him of being a negro (!). This article of James Lawrence tries the same, albeit on a highly sophisticated level. Whites are being attacked as a race and therefore they should defend themselves as a race, but that is what Jews fear most, hence their efforts to discourage that.

  • @UncommonGround
    I read the text very early this morning before waking up completely. I must say that I have never read the books by MacDonald and am not really familiar with such discussions. I try saying something.

    1-The author starts the text talking about WN as if he cared about WN. But the only purpose of the text is to talk about Js and Jism. I thought immediately of the neoconservative who never cared about conservatism and could change their party as easily as you change a shirt. They were only looking for wars that the US could fight for The Country. One or two years ago a political scientist wrote a book saying that nationalism was good, at least in his country (i think he said that we in our countries don't need to be very nationalistic). His real purpose was to defend The Country in a time when most intellectuals view nationalism with some suspition.

    2- Of course, theories in the field of the social sciences are complicated matters and you can easily reject them with any argument, even with very weak arguments. I can imagine that you can doubt the biological backkground of McDonals theories or of some such theories (Social Darwinism etc). I myself ask if such foundations are necessary and sound. I don't think that Js form any race and maybe there isn't even any instinct of group preservation or group advantage. But such theories could be reformulated in terms of social ideologies and of group ideologies. Groups may be very different and ideologies are very different from each other. Otherwise there would be no point in discussing socialism against capitalism or any such discussion. So, Jism can be a very different ideology than European ideology, independently of any question of biology and of race. And it can also have changed with time. Maybe Jism tried to spread enough to be the dominant religion in the Roman Empire, or at least to be able to corner Christianity, but after loosing the race to Christianity they decided to follow another path. Maybe they accepted much more easily conversions for a few centuries afterwards, after their defeat to Christianity. However at some point this became more difficult, maybe the religion had reorganised itself and adapted itself to new environments and new strategies. In spite of that, conversions never stoped until today.

    3- One very questionable assumption of the author is that Jism is a religion at all. I once mentioned here Marc Ellis who wrote that a considerable part of rabbis are atheistic and that this is no problem as their function is to care about the interests of Js. I also read somewhere that if a J. stops believing anything that has to do with Jism, they don't care what are his new beliefs, they don't care if he begun eating pork of will even accept that the boy wasn't circumcised. All that matters is that he comes back to the "religious" community. It doesn't matter whether he believes in God or not, or whatever he believes. It's like the neoconservatives: it doesn't matter what they believe, only the wars that they want. Years ago when the situation in The Country wasn't so good they accepted Indian converts from Peru, but only under the condition that they would leave Peru and live in the most exposed parts of the new territories which they try to take from the indigenous population.

    The difference with Christianity is huge. For a Christian what matters about being a Christian is what you believe and nothing else. For Jism, you can hardly convert unless you are a "valuable" person. Tipical Germans can convert easily to Js if they want and show that they are valuable, but I doubt that they would accept that Africans convert to Jism. Usually it takes hard work to convert and you have to show that you care about things that most Js don't care about. Why? Because they want to be sure that you enter a community, not that you enter a religion. It's like the Japanese mafia. The small finger of a new member of the Japanese mafioso is cut and he gets tatoos. He must accept that in order to show his commitment to the group and that he won't leave it again. It may take a year to convert to Jism. Jacqueline du Pré could convert to Jism in 24 hours because she was a beaultiful famous blonde woman. There was a group called Jish humanism. I thought, how nice, what social projects do they support? I took a look and they didn't support any social project. Their only purpose was that Js are nice to each other whatever their differences among each other.

    4- continuing the points above: The Italian mafia in Italy a century ago shows that you can have a predatory group which doesn't have any biological basis. Italian mafiosos were as Italian as any Italian that they explored. Scientology is a group that spreads in the world as a closed group, even if they accept converts. They failed because they didn't keep the right balance between infiltration of society and insulation to keep distance from society. Js had much more success in that. It's funny that when Germany tried to stop Scientology, Js seemd to defend it and to attack Germany (the US was sent to threaten Germany):

    “In the 1930s it was the Jews. Today it is the Scientologists.” So read a full-page open letter, published in the International Herald Tribune on Jan. 9, 1997, to then-German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Signed by 34 prominent figures in the entertainment industry—none of them Scientologists and many of them Jews—the letter went on to accuse the German government of “repeating the deplorable tactics” of Nazi German

    This is just an initial answer to the article.

    You’ve made a pretty darn good start. Congratulations.

    One very questionable assumption of the author is that Jism is a religion at all.

    Well spotted. Here and elsewhere, the author is lying in his teeth. He is, without a doubt, fully aware that Jews have been insisting that they are a race, not a religion, for centuries. After all, how could anyone refer nonrisibly to a collective as a religion when more than half of its members dismiss with scorn the very idea of an eternal and uncreated Supreme Being?

    Apropos the religion grift, one long-standing ploy of the Jews that has always struck me as egregious in its brazenness is the way that when an article focusing on or even mentioning Jews appears in a newspaper, magazine, or learned journal, you can fearlessly bet any given amount of money that if the article has referred to the Jews as a religion, two or three people will write polite-looking letters to the editor explaining that Jews are a racial grouping, not a religion—and of course, the pattern also holds true in a mutatis mutandis situation. The point, I need hardly add, is to embed in each brainwashed reader’s mind the utter centrality of Jews and their chitchat to human existence.

    It is literally almost sixty years ago that I spotted this pattern, which seemed to be on display in every single Sunday edition of the New York Times Book Review. I was in college then, and total naïf that I was, I thought that reading the Times was a good way to discover what was happening in the adult world and why it was happening that way.* Well, kommt Zeit, kommt Rat.

If everyone stayed away, they would have no one to square off with and that effectively neuters them. Same goes for the FBI. They need the stupid to show up. If people stayed home the FBI would be ineffective.

The Fed Gov is powerless as no laws are broken and their money printing press can't make food appear on grocery shelves. It's game over and the deplorables can start dictating terms of surrender.

    There surely are lots of useless people with job, like street cops, school boards, dmv drones, congress, etc. If these people disappeared totally and forever, that would be a tremendous benefit to the population. However, there are people that actually support the infrastructure that keeps the country going.

    I'd say the truckers, pilots, electrical linemen, water treatment plant workers, power plant workers, sewage treatment plant workers and many others are essential and their absence would be noticed almost immediately and there are no readily available replacements to be found, at least not in sufficient quantities to make a difference.

    There are others whose absence would get noticed in time, like engineers, architects, researchers, etc that work on future developments. Think about the farm workers that gather your food. Sure they could strike and the lack of lettuce wouldn't be the end of civilization, but in time the general lack of food might just present a problem, don't you think?

    I notice you specifically malign white people. Of all the races in the US, the white race is the most essential if for no other reason than they are the bulk of the population doing all jobs. They also possess the high tech skills required in a 1st world country. Remove the white people and nothing works almost instantly. Statistically only the Asians have the intellect to replace the white race in high tech jobs. There aren't enough of them in the US to handle the load.

    It's not so much a question of what the US produces and by implication, what others might want to purchase, but what is required for survival on an on going basis. I don't care what you produce if I cut your clean water off, you're dead in no time. That's the level of control the white population owns and they could use it to regain control from those useless eaters in gov't.

    Although this article is an instance where Doctor Dalton’s analysis is on the mark—i.e., with regard to this Austin university grift—a young white man or woman seeking a proper educational formation would do well to steer clear of any academic institution where his authority or intellectual influence was weighty.

    Why? Because Dalton is proudly Christophobic, and so an institution where he held sway would be Christophobic, too. No character is so susceptible to being corrupted by Jewish distortions, sophistries, and outright lies as a character that has already been corrupted by Christophobia, a discipline whose terms, means, and ends have been defined for all time by its inventors—the Jews.

    Therefore, under the column heading Higher Education, I’d stick with homeschooling till the real thing comes along.

    The author makes two silly assumptions: that universities are supposed to be places of intellectual diversity and debate, and that focusing on diversity, especially in its extremes, is a desirable thing.

    The real story is that Weiss is merely contributing to the ongoing miasma by making the founding of the university some sort of critical theory-based protest gesture, rather than for the purpose of actual higher education. She's not even really protesting the war itself, just the distribution of the combatants. It's little more than the left hand version of a college based on Intelligent Design principles.

    I predict that the students will consist mainly of a smug subset of the smug overclass with two career tracks: institutionalized activists and institutionalized pundits. May as well start a business school in order to teach consultancy theory and motivational speaking techniques.

    The school's motto could be "Change From Within." If I'd gone to a decent university, I could tell you what that would be in Latin.

    While the wealth and celebrity of ball players adds to the "mystique" of sports and magnifies the intensity of ambition to rise to the top of sport, the truth is that these games, played in schools competitively, are just bad for kids, period. They absorb huge amounts of time that would be better spent on more worthy pursuits. It's common sense, even if you love sports, and somehow see it as some sort of indispensable social function of youth with a kind of initiatory function. These games are not bad games in themselves, and potentially good as adult hobbies that children might play in moderation outside of an organized competitive format. Children do need to develop physically, but how can endless hours on the basketball court (or in similar sports) really be justified? Surely, there is something wrong with the white man to allow himself to be degraded into obsessively watching negroes jumping around like animals on a ball court. This is what the inventor of the game of basketball had to say about it:

Little League baseball was 1 sometimes 2 games a week with the odd practice once the season started. Football – a couple of practices of about 90 minutes tops, and a game a week. No busing or rides to practice, other than your bicycle, and no win-at-all-costs coaches. Those were usually relieved of their duties.
    Along with physical fitness, the sports were used as a tool to sharpen hand – eye co-ordination and to understand that cooperation with your team mates, the people you were building life long relationships with, was important. It also taught that your best effort was needed regardless of what you were doing. Other than the odd few, were there because we enjoyed playing, and the camaraderie.

    Replies: @Pierre de Craon

    You are of course absolutely correct. Thank you for replying in such plain terms to that foolish woman.

    I have seen at least a dozen portraits of Beethoven, for all of which he sat, that date prior to 1815, and in none of them is there any suggestion of a negroid cast to his skin. There are also portraits of his younger brother Johann and his unfortunate nephew, Karl—the son of Beethoven’s other younger brother, also named Karl—and they too lack any suggestion of blackness. Given that the proximate causes of Beethoven’s death were advanced cirrhosis, chronic severe edema, and what is now called Paget’s disease, it’s hardly surprising that his skin would change color in the last decade of his life.

    All the standard biographies mention that Beethoven’s father, Johann van Beethoven, was sometimes said to look a bit Spanish—I’ve seen just one portrait of him, wherein he looks not at all Spanish—but given (1) that he was half-Flemish on his father’s side and (2) that Spain had occupied and ruled the Low Countries for some 160 years, it is far from inconceivable that he had a Spaniard in his past. Spaniards were pretty damn white, however, until the Jewish-sponsored immivasion of the past forty years.

    As it happens, thanks to C-SPAN, I saw the press conference (2005 perhaps? I can’t recall for sure) where the researchers who had painstakingly re-autopsied Beethoven’s remains announced their findings, which included lead levels that were off the charts. I cannot recall offhand the exact number mentioned, but I do clearly recall that Beethoven’s lead level was fully ten times higher than my own had been several years earlier. I mention this because I had heeded my cardiologist’s advice at that time to undergo a lengthy course of intravenous chelation to counter the life-threatening impact of heavy-metal toxicity on my heart. It’s a wonder, then, that with so much lead in his body, Beethoven lasted even to fifty-six!

    Since Adorno takes up such a central place in this essay, which I have read while listening to Parsifal, and the characterization as anti-Semitism as a principle of projection by psychopaths is declared, it is only appropriate to repeat what Adorno himself actually had to say about the German race. I have finally found the source again:

    https://taz.de/Kaschierte-Unsicherheit/!805988/

    „Möchten die Horst Güntherchen in ihrem Blut sich wälzen und die Inges den polnischen Bordellen überwiesen werden, mit Vorzugsscheinen für die Juden“, schrieb Theodor W. Adorno kurz vor der Niederlage NS-Deutschlands aus Kalifornien an seine Eltern in New York. Er freute sich, nun endlich sei „alles eingetreten, was man sich jahrelang gewünscht hat, das Land vermüllt, Millionen von Hansjürgens und Utes tot, wahrscheinlich dem Volk das Genick gebrochen, sodass es als Subjekt aus der Geschichte ausscheidet“.
     
    Translated to English:

    “Would the Horst Güntherchen wallow in their blood and the Inges be transferred to the Polish brothels, with preferential certificates for the Jews,” Theodor W. Adorno wrote to his parents in New York from California shortly before the defeat of Nazi Germany. He was pleased that "everything has finally happened that has been wished for for years, the land is littered, millions of Hansjürgens and Utes are dead, the necks of the people are probably broken, so that they are eliminated from history as a subject".
     
    But, oh no, after having helped them to execute their plans of total extermination, US whites are now concerned about Jews being mean to them. Oh no, I feel so bad already!

    Replies: @anon, @James Forrestal

    He ]Adorno] was pleased that “everything has finally happened that has been wished for for years, the land is littered, millions of Hansjürgens and Utes are dead, the necks of the people are probably broken, so that they are eliminated from history as a subject”.

    Adorno makes his genocidal hatred for indigenous Germans quite clear in that [originally private] passage. But were the German people the only targets of his untrammeled rage and hatred? Let’s take a closer look at the implications of this quote from Sanderson’s essay:

    T.W. Adorno and Wagner biographer Robert Gutman began a modern Jewish intellectual tradition when they proposed that Wagner’s “antipathy to Jews” was not limited to articles like Judaism in Music, but included hidden “anti-Semitic” and “racist” messages embedded in his operas.

    So Adorno believed very strongly that other people‘s writings contained both exoteric and esoteric meanings. This may or may not tell us anything about the works that he is attempting to deconstruct, but it certainly tells us something about Adorno’s own mindset. Very reminiscent of the constant rants by anti-Whites about supposed “dog whistles” — or the Straussian influence on the early neocons [Irving Kristol* was profoundly influenced by Strauss’s claims about the supposed esoteric meanings of various philosophical works]. But don’t worry, when the neocons shriek incoherently about “spreading democracy,” they mean that literally…

    But Adorno is best-known, not for his virulent anti-Wagnerism, but for his infamous screed The Authoritarian [Goy] Personality [AGP], part of the American Jewish Committee-sponsored hate propaganda series Studies in “Prejudice”. This “AGP” concept was taken from the rantings of the infamous insane pedophile jew [and inventor of the Orgasmatron™] Robert Reich, but expanded and popularized. Like Reich, Adorno claimed that when White goyim have intact, normal families, religious faith, and a relatively normal social structure, this makes them more resistant to “tikkuning**” by their semitic “superiors”… and that this lack of susceptibility to semitic propaganda was Very Bad for the Tribe. Adorno variously referred to this instinctive resistance to semitic supremacism as the putative “AGP” and so-called “fascism” [a term whose denotation was notoriously vague and slippery even back then]. “AGP” is a long-discredited semitic canard that is nonetheless still heavily promoted by ignorant, hate-filled semitic supremacists in the current year, while Adorno’s use of the “fascist” trope is perhaps best exemplified currently by the name chosen by the prominent semitic supremacist street gang “antifa” [= anti-“fascist.”]

    For a more concrete example of what Adorno really meant when he whined that the White goyim in America were all so-called “fascists,” it’s helpful (again) to look at his private letters, rather than his pilpul designed from the start for publication to the goyim. In a letter to his parents in 1940, Adorno ranted:

    “Fascism” in Germany, which is inseparable from “anti-Semitism,” is no psychological anomaly of the German national character. It is a universal tendency …The conditions for it – and I mean all of them, not only the economic but also the mass psychological ones – are at least as present [in America] as in Germany…and the barbaric semi-civilization of this country will spawn forms no less terrible than those in Germany.”

    Well OK then:
    >All White goyim in Germany AND America are “fascists”
    >All “fascists” must be eliminated
    It only takes a very basic understanding of the transitive property of toxic semitism to understand what Adorno is really talking about here…

    *Kristol’s supposed “ideological journey” from Trotskyism to “non-Communist leftism” to neo”conservatism” can be traced via his intellectual idols of those respective periods — Bronstein [of course], then Trilling, then Strauss. But only a cynic would suggest that the connection between Kristol and the other 3 ran deeper than mere ideology. Did I mention that Kristol’s review of Strauss’s Persecution and the Art of Writing focuses on Maimonides as the exemplar of Strauss’s major themes?

    Of course, the strong form of the “Strauss-neocon connection” hypothesis mostly serves as a distraction; a more subtle form of the “No Blood for Oil!” canard; an attempt to portray neoconservatism as merely an abstract ideology, rather than what it actually represents — simple semitic supremacism. But in its more restricted sense — the Strauss-Kristol-esotericism connection — it has some validity. Incidentally, it’s often been noted that “democracy” plays the same role in neo”conservatism” that “permanent revolution” does in Trotkyism — an ill-defined, ostensibly-universalist goal whose actual purpose is to serve as a “moral justification” for tikkuning the goyim.

    **The exoteric meaning of “tikkun olam” is, of course, something like “heal [or ‘repair’] the world,” But if we examine this ostensible “healing” process a little more closely, what do we find?

    The goal of such “repair”, which can only be effected by humans, is to separate what is holy from the created world, thus depriving the physical world of its very existence—and causing all things return to a world before disaster within the Godhead and before human sin, thus ending history.

    So when semitic people blabber about “healing” or “repairing” the world… they actually mean destroying the world. That’s nice. Remember, it’s not me saying this — it comes straight from Isaac Luria, endorsed and promoted by My Jewish Learning (though some argue it has even earlier roots in the Zohar, a 13th century forgery authored by Moses de León).

    Adorno is best-known, not for his virulent anti-Wagnerism, but for his infamous screed The Authoritarian [Goy] Personality [AGP]
     
    Adorno clearly used "fascism" and "Authoritarian Goy Personality" as dog whistles for semitic supremacism and virulent, unreasoning anti-White hatred. The use of the term "fascism" declined significantly after WW2, but an NGram shows that the AGP canard was a common anti-White trope from the late 1940s until well into the 1970s.

    The gradual shift from less obvious expressions of anti-White hatred like AGP, to the more open ones commonly spewed forth now, tracks the rise of semitic supremacism after WW2, and the associated solidification of the structures of systemic tribalism. In the current year, Adorno's "AGP" trope is less common. Instead we see more direct semitic assaults on the autochthonous peoples of Europe using terms such as "toxic whiteness", drawn from entire "academic" fields explicitly devoted to the production of anti-White hate propaganda, such as critical race theory and [anti] Whiteness studies -- though sometimes Applebaums, feeling that neither alone is sufficiently venomous, combine the two into "Critical Whiteness Studies."

    It's important to look at the larger context when assessing the decline of art in the modern era. It's not just the putative "artists" themselves -- there are obvious issues of financial, marketing, and even covert operations support.

    When it comes to visual art, the longstanding semitic hatred of beauty in general, and of representational art in particular, is well-known:
    https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/ask-the-expert-graven-images/
    https://www.yeshiva.co/midrash/17311

    And the decline of visual art correlates quite closely with the rise of systemic tribalism, even when the ostensible "artists" are not themselves members of the Tribe of Supreme Victims. For example:


    Warhol, Pollock …pooh, nothing.
     
    Pollock, you say? Sure, Pollock was a goy -- but let's take a closer look at the course of his career. His meteoric rise from janitor at the Guggenheim to famous "artist" was entirely due to Peggy Guggenheim's notorious hunger for goy dick and the consequent financial support and publicity that she provided to Jack the Dripper:

    In 1943, Pollock briefly worked as a maintenance man at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (forerunner to the Guggenheim Museum). Later that year, Peggy Guggenheim gave him a contract that lasted through 1947, permitting him to devote all his time to painting. His first solo show was held at Guggenheim’s Art of This Century, New York (1943).

    Peggy Guggenheim organized his first European solo exhibition at the Museo Correr, Venice, in 1950... critic Clement Greenberg organized his first retrospective at Bennington College, Vermont.
    Etc.

    Without Peggy's help, Pollock would have died an unknown janitor -- and the world would have been a better place for it.

    Tom Wolfe's thesis in The Painted Word might be relevant here as well. He argued that the modern "art" world is constructed in such a way that the ostensible work of "art" is almost irrelevant, and the real focus is on the construction of elaborate, abstract verbal narratives by prominent art critics, which utilize the purported "art" simply as a nidus; a starting place -- a "hook." It should be self-evident that this is a highly-semitic way to manage the "art" world, but just in case:

    Wolfe read in Hilton Kramer's 1974 Times review of Seven Realists, that "to lack a persuasive theory is to lack something crucial". Wolfe summarized the review saying that it meant "without a theory to go with it, I can't see a painting"

    In particular, Wolfe criticized three prominent art critics whom he dubbed the kings of "Cultureburg": Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg and Leo Steinberg.

    This was especially comical:

    In defense of critics Rosenberg, Greenberg, and Steinberg, Rosalind Krauss noted that each man wrote about art "in ways that are entirely diverse."

    Is is possible that Ms. Krauss might perhaps be a member of the same, uh, Tribe of Entirely Diverse People as Mr. Kramer and the -berg triplets? What do you think?

    As noted above, the Guggenheim's original name was the Museum of Non-Objective Painting... and the trend that Wolfe was critiquing is typically described as "de-objectification" of art.

    Pollock, you say? Sure, Pollock was a goy — but let’s take a closer look at the course of his career.

    Forgot to mention a few other prominent semitic influences on Pollock.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock#Influence_and_technique
    One definitive influence on Pollock was the work of the “Ukrainian” American artist Janet Sobel (1894–1968) (born Jennie Lechovsky).[

    On the promotion/ marketing end, I mentioned “art critic” Clement Greenberg in passing, but didn’t specifically point out that he was one of Pollock’s primary propagandists. And of course, Sidney Janis was almost as effective as the CIA in promoting Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists.

    Not to mention his wife Lee:

    Krasner’s extensive knowledge and training in modern art and techniques helped her bring Pollock up to date with what contemporary art should be. Krasner is often considered to have taught her husband in the dominant tenets of modernistic painting.

    Less important in terms of “artistic” influence or marketing/ financial support, but just as illustrative of the highly-semitic milieu which surrounded Pollock, are the details of his fatal crash:

    On August 11, 1956, at 10:15 p.m., Pollock died in a single-car crash in his Oldsmobile convertible while driving under the influence of alcohol. At the time Krasner was visiting friends in Europe and she abruptly returned on hearing the news from a friend.[39] One of the passengers, Edith Metzger, was also killed in the accident, which occurred less than a mile from Pollock’s home. The other passenger, Ruth Kligman, an artist and Pollock’s mistress, survived.

    Yep — Kligman and Metzger were both early life positive as well. Pollock was himself a goy, but not only were his major patrons and promoters MOTs, but his wife and his mistress were semitic as well. Apart from dribbling paint, the guy’s entire life appeared to focus on alcohol and nailing yentas.

    Did I mention that — heavily encouraged by his wife — Pollock was a frequent customer of various s̶e̶m̶i̶t̶i̶c̶ ̶v̶o̶o̶d̶o̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶i̶e̶s̶t̶s̶ “psychoanalysts?” Clearly a classic case of false consciousness/ internalized tribalism.

    That pretty much takes care of Jackson Pollock and his relationship to toxic semitism, but given that the OP was written by Brenton Sanderson, I would be remiss not to mention his excellent series Mark Rothko, Abstract Expressionism, and the Decline of Western Art:

    Part 1

    Part 2

    Part 3

    Which puts the relationship between systemic tribalism and the decline of visual art in a broader context. Part 3 goes into the relationship between abstract expressionism, the New York "Intellectuals," and the Frankfurt School -- bringing us back to Adorno.

  • @James Forrestal
    @Anonymous


    He ]Adorno] was pleased that “everything has finally happened that has been wished for for years, the land is littered, millions of Hansjürgens and Utes are dead, the necks of the people are probably broken, so that they are eliminated from history as a subject”.
     
    Adorno makes his genocidal hatred for indigenous Germans quite clear in that [originally private] passage. But were the German people the only targets of his untrammeled rage and hatred? Let's take a closer look at the implications of this quote from Sanderson's essay:

    T.W. Adorno and Wagner biographer Robert Gutman began a modern Jewish intellectual tradition when they proposed that Wagner’s "antipathy to Jews" was not limited to articles like Judaism in Music, but included hidden "anti-Semitic" and "racist" messages embedded in his operas.

    So Adorno believed very strongly that other people's writings contained both exoteric and esoteric meanings. This may or may not tell us anything about the works that he is attempting to deconstruct, but it certainly tells us something about Adorno's own mindset. Very reminiscent of the constant rants by anti-Whites about supposed "dog whistles" -- or the Straussian influence on the early neocons [Irving Kristol* was profoundly influenced by Strauss's claims about the supposed esoteric meanings of various philosophical works]. But don't worry, when the neocons shriek incoherently about "spreading democracy," they mean that literally...

    But Adorno is best-known, not for his virulent anti-Wagnerism, but for his infamous screed The Authoritarian [Goy] Personality [AGP], part of the American Jewish Committee-sponsored hate propaganda series Studies in "Prejudice". This "AGP" concept was taken from the rantings of the infamous insane pedophile jew [and inventor of the Orgasmatron™] Robert Reich, but expanded and popularized. Like Reich, Adorno claimed that when White goyim have intact, normal families, religious faith, and a relatively normal social structure, this makes them more resistant to "tikkuning**" by their semitic "superiors"... and that this lack of susceptibility to semitic propaganda was Very Bad for the Tribe. Adorno variously referred to this instinctive resistance to semitic supremacism as the putative "AGP" and so-called "fascism" [a term whose denotation was notoriously vague and slippery even back then]. "AGP" is a long-discredited semitic canard that is nonetheless still heavily promoted by ignorant, hate-filled semitic supremacists in the current year, while Adorno's use of the "fascist" trope is perhaps best exemplified currently by the name chosen by the prominent semitic supremacist street gang "antifa" [= anti-"fascist."]

    For a more concrete example of what Adorno really meant when he whined that the White goyim in America were all so-called "fascists," it's helpful (again) to look at his private letters, rather than his pilpul designed from the start for publication to the goyim. In a letter to his parents in 1940, Adorno ranted:

    "Fascism" in Germany, which is inseparable from "anti-Semitism," is no psychological anomaly of the German national character. It is a universal tendency …The conditions for it – and I mean all of them, not only the economic but also the mass psychological ones – are at least as present [in America] as in Germany…and the barbaric semi-civilization of this country will spawn forms no less terrible than those in Germany.”

    Well OK then:
    >All White goyim in Germany AND America are "fascists"
    >All "fascists" must be eliminated
    It only takes a very basic understanding of the transitive property of toxic semitism to understand what Adorno is really talking about here...

    *Kristol's supposed "ideological journey" from Trotskyism to "non-Communist leftism" to neo"conservatism" can be traced via his intellectual idols of those respective periods -- Bronstein [of course], then Trilling, then Strauss. But only a cynic would suggest that the connection between Kristol and the other 3 ran deeper than mere ideology. Did I mention that Kristol's review of Strauss's Persecution and the Art of Writing focuses on Maimonides as the exemplar of Strauss’s major themes?

    Of course, the strong form of the "Strauss-neocon connection" hypothesis mostly serves as a distraction; a more subtle form of the "No Blood for Oil!" canard; an attempt to portray neoconservatism as merely an abstract ideology, rather than what it actually represents -- simple semitic supremacism. But in its more restricted sense -- the Strauss-Kristol-esotericism connection -- it has some validity. Incidentally, it's often been noted that "democracy" plays the same role in neo"conservatism" that "permanent revolution" does in Trotkyism -- an ill-defined, ostensibly-universalist goal whose actual purpose is to serve as a "moral justification" for tikkuning the goyim.

    **The exoteric meaning of "tikkun olam" is, of course, something like "heal [or 'repair'] the world," But if we examine this ostensible "healing" process a little more closely, what do we find?

    The goal of such "repair", which can only be effected by humans, is to separate what is holy from the created world, thus depriving the physical world of its very existence—and causing all things return to a world before disaster within the Godhead and before human sin, thus ending history.

    So when semitic people blabber about "healing" or "repairing" the world... they actually mean destroying the world. That's nice. Remember, it's not me saying this -- it comes straight from Isaac Luria, endorsed and promoted by My Jewish Learning (though some argue it has even earlier roots in the Zohar, a 13th century forgery authored by Moses de León). And it's a principle that has broad appeal within the Tribe, not just among hardcore kabbalists. Sure, the Haskalah led to a temporary deemphasis of some of the wackier kabbalist doctrines among more rational semitic people, but there was a resurgence of semitic s̶a̶t̶a̶n̶i̶s̶m̶ "mysticism" in the 20th century.

    All of your comments in the present grouping are valuable, and I thank you for them, but this one is, I think, the most valuable of all, in no small part because it draws attention to Wolfe’s wonderful little book, which I first read shortly after its publication. Some people have criticized Wolfe, especially since his death, for failing, here and elsewhere, to “name the Jew.” It seems undeniable, however, that had he been more specific and less veiled in his references to poisonous Jewish influence, the book might now be as hard to find as a hi-res print of Song of the South. Even so, the veil covering “Cultureburg” certainly flirts with full-frontal nudity!

    The curious thing is that one comes away from The Painted Word with the sense that, despite all the logrolling and aesthetic dishonesty of the (((contemporary-art establishment))), Wolfe actually likes a bit of this stuff—as do I, as it happens. In contrast, very little in the way of appreciation or even grudging respect is to be found in Wolfe’s equally valuable, equally concise, analysis of modern architecture, From Bauhaus to Our House. Apart from Frank Lloyd Wright, who attracts Wolfe’s admiration more for his cantankerous personality than for his often gravely impractical designs, only the work and the person of Mies van der Rohe—who was by many accounts an almost irresistibly likable man—survive Wolfe’s critical gaze largely unscathed.

    Yeah that would be well outside the Overton window for a mainstream publication in 1975. And he didn't need to to make it effective -- as evinced by the histrionic shrieking it evoked from the promoters of the Culture of Critique, who are notoriously thin-skinned about any critique of their pilpul.

    Although Wolfe didn't marry Sheila Berger until 1978, they had already been together for 9 or 10 years prior to the publication of The Painted Word, so insuring domestic tranquility would be another good reason not to broaden its focus from criticizing/ mocking the more nonsensical aspects of modern "art theory" to a more generalized attack on systemic tribalism...

    Even so, the veil covering “Cultureburg” certainly flirts with full-frontal nudity!
     
    Of course it probably helped that his [soon to be] wife was a MOT*. And there are aspects of Wolfe's life that strongly suggest 3-letter agency connections.

    But that phrase is plausibly deniable because it's a great pun. It relies in a single letter: "-burg," not "berg". Indistinguishable in spoken English, but entirely different etymologies -- and implications -- in written English.

    Burg -- and the related suffix bury, as well as borough/ boro -- derive from a German word meaning castle, so by extension, city. And that's its most common usage in America -- as a suffix for city names. It is used as a surname, but its connotations are much more attached to the former meaning: the burg vs. the 'burbs.

    Whereas berg comes from a word meaning mountain or hill [hence "iceberg". While it's is relatively common as a suffix for city names in Germany, it's rarely seen in that context in the US. But berg is, of course, seen relatively commonly in surnames in America as both a suffix and as a standalone surname in MOTs, as well as Germans and Scandinavians. Hence "berg," like "stein," is typically taken as a semitic reference.

    So "Cultureburg"? That literally means "Culture City." Not only is it entirely devoid of potentially-offensive implications -- it's a very accurate characterization of the way in which the modern art crowd, the NY "Intellectuals," etc. themselves view[ed] NYC (many, if not most, NYC goys have the same attitude). But say it aloud and, uh...

    I've never read From Bauhaus to Our House. Gotta add it to the list.

    Yes, it is usual. Although danger is inherent in any use of anesthesia, it is outweighed by the far from insignificant risk of death that is present in every colonoscopy. Since it is critically important for the patient’s safety that he or she lie absolutely still while the colonoscope is inside, the use of anesthesia is widely deemed essential. As advanced age is a complicating factor in any invasive medical procedure, using anesthesia for a colonoscopy on Biden or someone of similar age (someone like me, alas) is all the more advisable.

    "If Americans make a mistake and elect Joe Biden they can get rid of him in 4 years."

    But how do you get rid of a "president" you never elected? What "solution" does democracy offer to that problem? Not impeachment, because that presupposes that the "president" lawfully ascended to office.

    Replies: @Pierre de Craon

    As you say, Mr. Stix, Biden was not elected. He was installed via a largely bloodless coup that might prove to be as thoroughgoing and enduring as the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was. Thus, while all the tired terminology of so-called democratic governance—impartially monitored elections, will of the people, due process, freedom of expression, impeachment, judicial review—remains in place, the reality is plainly Orwellian.

    Worship of democracy is a malady of recent origin. No Western political thinker of repute—Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Tocqueville—had any use for it. In openly authoritarian structures, the distinction between those who rule and those who must obey is out in the open. The very awareness of this state of affairs often acts to restrain tyrannical conduct. Yet for most democracy apologists, including the gentleman Mr. Stix replied to, this crucial distinction is obscured by the big lie of democracy: that the people themselves rule.

    Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves.

  • No, it’s not true at all. I shall need a bit of space in order to explain why I answer thus.

    As with “we all believe in freedom, don’t we?” or a similar easygoing generality, however well-intentioned the question may be in the asking, there lurks the uncomfortable awareness that one hears it most often from the lips of interrogators and cross-examiners, people to whom the question’s object is far more frequently entrapment than truth or insight.

    The notion that a college or university should choose its faculty from those candidates who are the most eager to get paid for navel-gazing has contributed in a major way to the rise of the travestied institutions of higher education that have displaced the genuine originals. A person need not linger at a college especially long before he sees that a healthy majority of its faculty would far sooner waste their students’ time (and their own) than offer active, intense formal instruction and verify its success with regular testing. Human nature is what it is, and because it is what it is, there will always be openings for earnest, hardworking academic deans who don’t give a damn how many faculty members call them slave drivers or ball-breakers. At least, that was true till the day before yesterday.

    As regards students, an institution that encourages them “to pursue their research interests freely” is in fact tacitly promising the students that no obstructions will be raised to their remaining children, fools, or both. Is it no more than coincidental that the rulers of this country and of a great many others are so active in encouraging the propagation of immaturity and gullibility?

    True education—which is education in the context of real life and with more than the occasional nod to life’s corporeal brevity—is impossible without an orthodoxy of teaching and learning.

    Darrell Brooks makes James Fields look like a saint.

    The Media always claim that James Fields deliberately drove his car into counter-protestors, implying it was a planned attack. This was never proven in court.

    What we know is that James Fields was trying to get home in one piece, without being assaulted. There was no evidence he wanted to use his car as a weapon, but plenty to say he was trying to get away from violence.

    Darrell Brooks coldly kept hitting people and driving over the bodies.

He was fleeing in the SUV while being pursued by police for a “knife crime.” So of course in his tiny, impulsive, ape-like brain it’s OK to mow a bunch of people down with a vehicle rather than be captured by the cops.

    Several months ago, Dr. Griffin wrote a very poor article about the conduct of the defense in the Chauvin trial. Its several egregious errors included his assumption that Chauvin was to blame for a death he didn’t bring about—namely, that of Saint George Floyd. Surely the present article is even worse.

    No, it's not true at all. I shall need a bit of space in order to explain why I answer thus.

    As with "we all believe in freedom, don't we?" or a similar easygoing generality, however well-intentioned the question may be in the asking, there lurks the uncomfortable awareness that one hears it most often from the lips of interrogators and cross-examiners, people to whom the question's object is far more frequently entrapment than truth or insight.

    The notion that a college or university should choose its faculty from those candidates who are the most eager to get paid for navel-gazing has contributed in a major way to the rise of the travestied institutions of higher education that have displaced the genuine originals. A person need not linger at a college especially long before he sees that a healthy majority of its faculty would far sooner waste their students' time (and their own) than offer active, intense formal instruction and verify its success with regular testing. Human nature is what it is, and because it is what it is, there will always be openings for earnest, hardworking academic deans who don't give a damn how many faculty members call them slave drivers or ball-breakers. At least, that was true till the day before yesterday.

    As regards students, an institution that encourages them "to pursue their research interests freely" is in fact tacitly promising the students that no obstructions will be raised to their remaining children, fools, or both. Is it no more than coincidental that the rulers of this country and of a great many others are so active in encouraging the propagation of immaturity and gullibility?

    True education—which is education in the context of real life and with more than the occasional nod to life's corporeal brevity—is impossible without an orthodoxy of teaching and learning. The primary doctrine of this orthodoxy, of course, must be that the institution's masters and teachers know immeasurably more than even the most learned student applicant. The doctrine that necessarily follows from the primary is that a student must acknowledge, in his private and classroom conduct, his status as a subordinate—indeed, as a supplicant. One who fails to do so simply doesn't belong in college, and until the day before yesterday, he was shown the door with a minimum of ceremony, generally after being offered several chances to mend his ways.

    People tend to forget that Lincoln's party totally abandoned the freedmen when it became politically expedient to do so. The GOP lost the 1876 presidential election but its leaders were not yet ready to surrender power to the rival party, as they put it, of "rum, Romanism, and rebellion." They cooked up a deal with former Confederates to invalidate the votes of three southern states in return for withdrawing the last peacekeeping force of US troops from the south. For four tense months the nation teetered in the brink of a new civil war. Ex-CSA General Longstreet got in the papers speaking of his hope to command a federal army against Boston. Finally, the day before the scheduled Inauguration Day (then March 4), a partisan Electoral Commission duly declared Hayes the winner. Though an honest man, "His Fraudulency" was unable to govern effectively because of the stigma of how he entered the office. His term was marked by control of the national government slipping from the voters to the robber barons, where it has remained ever since.

    In the Republican dominated popular press, powerful images of courageous black soldiers and former slaves taking on the responsibilities of citizenship gave way to ludicrous caricatures of chicken-stealing, coon-hunting simpletons, and the promise of equal justice for all was lost.

    … the last peacekeeping force of US troops …

    For anyone who either studied US history prior to the late 1960s, since which time its teaching has been an artifact of Left politics and Jewish-devised propaganda, or else has gone to the heroic lengths required of those who insist on truth in preference to malicious woke fantasy, the quoted phrase is a dead giveaway of what a man given to understatement might call the highly partisan character of Observator’s analysis. Those given to plain speaking would probably just call it rubbish.

    Virtually all of the troops stationed in the postbellum South behaved at best in the degraded and debauched manner characteristic of occupying armies everywhere, and at worst their behavior rivaled what the Soviet troops did to innocent German civilians in 1944 and 1945. If anything, the officers were even more corrupt than the enlisted men. Had not the disgusted citizens of the North, fully half (at least) of whom had been opposed to Lincoln’s war from its inception, made plain their revulsion for continuation of Reconstruction, especially in the wake of Grant’s disastrous presidency, the Republican Party operatives in 1876 would never have been put in the position of having to resort to a deal incorporating decent, moral conduct with regard to their victims in the former Confederacy.

    As for the image substitution referred to in the virtue-signaling second paragraph, “courageous black soldiers and former slaves taking on the responsibilities of citizenship” were about as widespread in the real postbellum South as, say, devout Traditional Catholics are in a marauding mob of Antifa and BLM thugs and thieves.

    The situation was rather less straightforward than you seem to think it was.

    When the 1960 election took place, I was a junior in high school, and so I remember it very clearly. My parents had moved the family a year before to a private home in Yonkers, a bedroom suburb of New York City. Our new neighborhood was younger and less markedly Irish Catholic than our former neighborhood in the Bronx had been, but since I had not changed schools when we moved, I was back in the old one five days a week.

    But enough background. What I mean to say is that in both neighborhoods, the middle-class Catholic vote went to Nixon by a margin only a bit smaller than it had gone to Ike four years earlier. The pastor of my new parish told my old man that, like him and my mother, he had voted for Nixon, and Nixon was also the overwhelming choice of the Irish Christian Brothers who were my teachers in high school.

    It is certainly true that poor and working-class Catholics voted for Kennedy in large numbers, but they would have voted Democratic anyway—at least so long as the Democratic candidate wasn’t as snooty and odd-looking as Adlai Stevenson.

The formula was refined to include these main ingredients: the rich land baron past his prime, the ranchers top hand with a streak of cruelty and pride, a strong and beautful lady often the rancher’s wife or his only daughter. Add in a blood feud with a rival neighboring ranch or farmer then spice it up with gorgeous outdoor scenery, a stampede, a trip to local saloon and Voila! Box office gold or at least a solid B-movie.

  • The frontier strips away the trappings of civilization and displays human nature and the origins of society naked in all their glory and squalor.

    Alas, there is far more fiction, not to mention clichéd psychology, in the quoted sentence than there is fact. Roger McGrath’s excellent study Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1984; 307 pp.)* is strongly recommended to anyone who is perceptive enough to have figured out that though (((Hollywood))) is interested in many things, truth isn’t one of them.

    Mr. Lynch’s analysis starts off well, but I shifted uncomfortably when he called the unspeakably dismal Liberty Valance a great Western,** and soon afterward I lost a sizable portion of my impartiality when he referred to Tom Dunson’s “thumotic side.” I recall that word turning up, roughly fifty-five years ago, in a classroom discussion of, I think, the Philebus—perhaps it was the Parmenides or the Theaetetus—but whatever its (limited) usefulness then and there, its effect here merits a snort in response. (I have been told that Leo Strauss also used “thumotic” from time to time. I rest my case, Your Honor.)

    Finally, the not-unheard-of opinion that there is nothing wrong with the ending seems to be getting excessively short shrift here. Yet surely one should recall what Walter Kerr wrote (in his magisterial study Tragedy and Comedy) with regard to the most Oedipally “Greek” moment in Tony Richardson’s Tom Jones: the moment when Jenny Jones learns that her lover, Tom Jones, is her son. As she looks steadily at the camera, wrote Kerr, not a sound can be heard from an audience that expects this revelation to generate suicide and other horrors at any moment. When instead of looking about for a rope to hang herself, Jenny simply shrugs at the camera and goes back into the scene, the huge outburst of audience laughter signals not only profound relief but perhaps even a sense that Jocasta, had she had her wits about her, would have been well advised to do likewise.***

    In short, while it is modish to lament the absence of a Sophoclean ending to Red River, there is no shame in contending that those who insist that the film end otherwise than it does are being needlessly schematic. Recall, too, how profoundly both star and director disliked everything about that most Greek of all Westerns, High Noon, when it appeared on screen some three years later. This fact alone retrospectively suggests that, had Hawks and Wayne agreed to act so completely against their deepest instincts, any “tragic” conclusion they concocted would strike an attentive viewer as profoundly false, even if the viewer couldn’t fully articulate why it struck him thus.

    Overall, despite the disagreements noted above, I congratulate Mr. Lynch on producing a highly engaging piece of work.

    **Neither there nor anywhere else in John Ford’s oeuvre, even in his very best work, did the director care enough about the quality of a script or the resources of his actors to make the most of either. I am sure that when Ford said, with regard to Wayne’s performance in Red River, “I never knew the son of a bitch could act,” that he meant precisely that—to his shame, need I add? With specific reference to Liberty Valance, most of the film’s very few one-star reviewers at Amazon see through the hype. I especially agree with the one who, in 2008, wrote, “Yet one searches in vain—either in academic analyses or in the [more than a thousand] four- and five-star Amazon reviews—for references to the film that point out that the sets look like fiberboard structures on the studio’s back lot, that characterization is shallow and predictable, that the script is trite and sits clumsily on the tongue, that O’Brien and many other supporting players are inadequate or worse, and that Stewart and Wayne are not alone in being almost thirty years too old for their parts.”

    What are some examples of things that he has gotten “flat out wrong”?

    For example he says above that McCullough complained last year that Fauci has never, to date, published anything on how to treat a Covid patient.” He additionally alleged: “Anyone who tries to publish a new treatment protocol will find themselves airtight blocked by the journals that are all under Fauci’s control.”

    But the NIH has published clinical treatment guidelines (see link below). OK they were not personally written by Fauci, but the US has clinical treatment guidelines and so do other countries. These are widely available, and updated when new techniques are found to be successful and shared.

    https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/about-the-guidelines/whats-new/

    https://ncdc.gov.in/index1.php?lang=1&level=1&sublinkid=703&lid=550

    The reason Fauci does not want people taking ivermectin is that there is no clearcut research results to suggest that it is effective in most populations, other than a kind of placebo effect.

    In evaluating medical treatments it is very important to eliminate placebo effects in both the patient and doctor populations, and to adjust for other variables that may produce misleading results.

    https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD015017.pub2/full

    However there are some large scale, better quality studies in progress and we may know more soon.

    There is a danger that a lot of people might think ivermectin was a surefire cure for Covid-19 and use this as an excuse not to get vaccinated, thus further endangering themselves and other people.

    One of the most difficult things about infection control guidelines is that you have to try to keep things very simple so that low-information patients do not get the wrong message, and Fauci has probably screwed up a few times, and in particular the CDC, which was once world-renowned as the world’s premium infectious diseases authority has allowed itself to be influenced by politicians.

    So there are just a couple of points for you, but really everything in the article above is wrong and reflects a paranoid mindset that fails to distinguish between cause and effect.

    Quarantines restrict people’s freedom, so therefore the purpose of quarantines is to restrict people’s freedom? No. Drug companies make a lot of money out of drugs, so diseases are purposely developed so as to make money for drug companies. Well, given the Purdue Pharma scandal, you might think so, but in general this is not the case and it is not easy to put together global conspiracies involving thousands of people.

The gene therapy injections, in contrast, are short-lived, do not stop viral contagion, and the effectiveness of their prevention of disease and death is yet to be firmly established. Meanwhile they have caused more vaccine adverse reactions than ALL other vaccines ever dispensed put together. And the malign effects of the spike protein that the gene therapy vaccines both 'target' and disseminate in the victims, quite possibly will be cumulative, in some number, as the 'boosters' proliferate, and your BigPharma friends profit hugely.
    Trolls like you, with your disinformation, are preventing people accessing possibly life-saving treatment. The rest of your slimy apologia for BigPharma malfeasance speaks for itself.

  • Your points are well taken. I might indeed have been too optimistic regarding the geographical confinement of the MA/RI phenomenon. Also, though I didn’t mean to imply or state that only the lower classes of Irish were Kennedy idolators, I see now that that is how what I wrote might be read. What I simply meant was that I’d argue that the better-off Irish and their non-Irish (and non-Catholic) socioeconomic peers and companions tended to idolize JFK and the other Kennedys in similar percentage terms. The fact that so little has changed for the better on this front in almost sixty years is yet another reason for despairing about this country’s future.

    In sum, I do still feel confident in asserting that among the lace-curtain Irish specifically, the desire for “social distancing” [ahem] from the Kennedy phenomenon was (1) plain as day to those of us who mixed with such people or were fortunate enough to be born into their number* and (2) effectively invisible to the great mass of our fellow Americans, for whom a tendency to generalize from ignorance, to generalize about the wrong things, or to do both seems to be ingested with mother’s milk.

    I am pretty sure that "Anonymous" is a troll, but I've seen similar ideas expressed elsewhere. So, I'd like to take a minute to unpack this ... and there is a lot to unpack here.

    First, "Anonymous" misspelled "friendy". Not a big deal, and typos happen, but my inner Grammar Nazi was going to keep nagging me about that until I mentioned it.

    Second, there is this idea that Christianity is a Judaic religion, and that is bad. The key distinction between Christianity and Judaism is this. In Christianity, God judges the heart. In Judaism, God judges your actions. Jesus said that it is the things that come out of a man's heart that corrupt him, not the things he eats (for example). Get your heart right with God through Jesus Christ, and God will clean up the mess in your life and those unrighteous acts you do will fade away.

    The importance of this distinction can be shown by examining one question. What is the purpose of freedom? If you focus on the things that people do, as Jews and Muslims do, then freedom is not a good thing. People should not be allowed to violate any of the many, many, many rules given in the Torah, the Talmud or the Koran. For this reason, Jews, Muslims (and followers of any other religion that focuses on external behavior) live their lives in bondage.

    In Christianity, however, the purpose of freedom is to find your best destiny in Christ. People should be allowed to anything outside of certain things that must be forbidden for the sake of society, such as murder. It is no accident that Christian nations have been the most free, and it is no accident that the less Christian these nations become the less free they are.

    Third (and finally) some White Nationalists are wildly hostile to Christianity. They need to realize that it is Christianity that made the West great, and nothing else will work. I understand their hostility - Satan is always whispering in our ears - but Christianity made Western Civilization the best that has yet existed on this world; the West will collapse without Christianity; and no other civilization can possibly equal the accomplishments of the West unless they embrace Christianity.

They don’t make an entire industry based on fraudulent phone calls to the elderly.

    Not true. Most of the list is explicitly against Christianity, and much of the rest was only facilitated by its replacement with the religion of White guilt.

    You would probably say Christianity and White guilt are one and the same, but over a millennium of White history says otherwise.

    Would you seriously contend that authentic Christianity is as prevalent and strong in America now as in the early 20th century for example? Christianity's decline was an essential component for the transformation of America, though of course there was much more to it than just that.

    Stripped us of all of our Constitutional rights (except the Second Amendment!)
    Collapsed the economy and destroyed all small businesses
    Flooded us with primitive third world savages

    Legalized gay anal sex
    Legalized interracial marriage
    Gave women the right to vote
    Gave homosexuals direct access to children
    Legalized pornography
    Ran a years-long Russian conspiracy hoax that they designed and knew from the beginning was fake
    Allowed Jewish bankers total dominance of the US economy
    Forced us to fight meaningless wars for Israel
    Overturned the most important presidential election in history through obvious fraud
    Classified people as terrorists for protesting election fraud
    Coercively vaccinated most of the population with a dangerous gene therapy, claiming it will save them from a virus that doesn’t exist
    Injected children
    Forced people to wear face masks
    Destroyed the middle class
    Completely opened the borders and put all of the savages on welfare
    Allowed millions to die from opioid overdoses
    Destroyed the energy sector
    Promoted gay sex to children
    Injected children with tranny hormones
    Mutilated children’s genitals
    Taught gay anal sex in schools
    Banned prayer from schools
    Legalized no-fault divorce and therefore destroyed the institution of marriage
    Legalized abortion
    Established family courts which give children to women after they leave their husbands
    Promoted women to positions of power over men
    Given unlimited economic and social privileges to nonwhites
    Purposefully driven down the white birthrate
    Tried to force people who refuse the vax out of society
    Spied on everyone
    Created a track and trace system in the name of medical tyranny

    You are correct in your analysis, however, I would say that Christianity works as a socio-religious system for Europeans, if not an outright spiritual system. That is to say, of course other types of thought systems can be used to organize a successful society, but they have to be specific to the geno-cultural dispositions of that society. (Geno-cultural = Culture derived from genetics) Christianity does not work for African societies because it is a foreign belief system. Similarly, it would not work for the Chinese. Europeans abandoned their political engagement via religion sometime early in the 20th century. People like Father Coughlin were the last gasps of a rapidly receding adherence to Christian principles due to the apportionment of economic largess exclusively to white society following the 30 years European Imperial War. Without a need to "bind" to the local culture via religion, people began to bind to their "careers".

East Asians were always the biggest threat to the West, if the West could not keep them down, a people, they would have tried to keep down the most, how is the West/Whitey keeping the others down? The brown black world need some self reflections, they need to try to give up their third world ways even if they are partly genetic in nature. And man, discard anything which originates form that venomous fart-pig Marx, the prophet of poverty and doom. Discard any irrational knee-jerk hate Whitey, hate Anglo, hate France, hate Germany, hate Japan, hate Yellow and to Indians especially, hate China.

  • Hey Steve,

    Sorry to hear you’re developing cataracts. Bummer. Fortunately your cataracts are operable. But, Like Jenner Ickham Errican above mentioned, “first make sure you really need the surgery. Sometimes worse vision can be an unfortunate outcome.” If you opt for surgery find the best surgeon you can.

    Have you considered n-acetylcarnosine eye drops? While not everyone agrees on it’s effectiveness, topical n-acetylcarnosine shows potential for the treatment and prevention of cataracts.

    I have an inoperable posterior subcapsular cataract in my left eye. I learned about this a few years back when I began experiencing eye pain and watering in my left eye. My eye doctor told me it was degenerative and that there was nothing that could be done. He explicitly warned me to stay away from anyone who was brave enough and/or willing to attempt surgery on my eye as I would most likely end up blind in that eye and possibly in more pain than I was already in. He is a competent and honest guy and I trust his opinion.

    With nowhere else to turn I did some reading and learned about people who have cured their nuclear sclerotic cataracts with n-acetylcarnosine eye drops. I had nothing to lose, except my already deteriorating eyesight in my left eye, so I gave them a try. Fortunately they have helped me. My eye pain and watering went away quickly and have not returned. Though I have not healed my cataract like I had optimistically hoped, the cataract has not degenerated any further and is actually a little clearer than it once was. I am a bit fuzzy in my left eye (imagine looking through lightly frosted window glass, reading for example is out of the question) but I do see out of it. I feel it is better to have an eye with fuzzy vision than no vision at all.

    I’ve also had luck with herbal eyewash with cayenne pepper and isotine eye drops.

    There are also oral supplements and vitamins you could try. (I have not tried any of these and perhaps I should?) Just letting you know what has worked for me.

    Maybe it’s worth trying some eye drops before you take the surgery route?
    Maybe you’ll have good luck with them?

    Whatever you try, I hope it is a resounding success.
    Good luck to you, and your vision, kind sir.

    Yes, the Contract with America was never anything but a contract with Jews whose sole connection with America was their residence here. The parasites got a substantial increase in their profits from being granted a near monopoly in hemispheric trade while managing to actually reduce the annual percentage growth of truly free trade involving the USA and Mexico especially.

    As for Newt’s pretended outrage, its falsity is not meant to be noticed, and thanks to the (((media))), few do notice it.

    Steve Kirsch is offering a million dollars to debate anyone who claims that the mRNA vaccines are "safe and effective" and haven't killed or hurt anyone. A million dollars is quite a bit of money, but no one from the CDC, FDA or anyone of medical prominence is willing to accept this offer. This is because everyone knows that the mRNA vaccines are the least safe and least effective vaccinations in history.

    I was listening to Jimmy Dore on the Joe Rogan show. He had previously tweeted about the negative side effects he had experienced after he took the 2nd dose of the Moderna vaccination. He had symptoms that would not go away after months. He was met with extreme hostility from certain quarters merely for mentioning this. He was called "anti-vax" even though he actually took the vax. If you wish to improve a product, any product, you need feedback from reality. Whenever real-world experience is disregarded and ignored, you know that the medical establishment (NIH, CDC, FDA) isn't concerned with public health anymore. What is being sold is snake-oil. If you hear someone use the term "vaccine hesitancy", you know you have a snake-oil salesman on your hands.

    I point out that Duesberg is a grandstanding fraud, and you don't think it's relevant?

    As I'm typing my wife, the Dr., is standing in the doorway. She treats AIDS patients, and I ask her - Me: Do they test for HIV today? Wife: Yes, when it's necessary. Me: What would you say to someone who says HIV doesn't cause AIDS? Wife: That they're stupid. Read the literature. Drs. worldwide are testing for HIV, treating AIDS, etc. Also from the wife 'It's like high blood pressure now'. And we're supposed to believe they're all taken in by a hoax?

    I continue with my wife the Dr. :
    Do you diagnose AIDS in the hospital? --- Yes, a CD4 count < 200 indicates AIDS.
    Do you test for HIV? --- Yes, of course.
    Do you diagnose AIDS without testing for HIV? --- No.

    Sadly, your wife seems to be precisely the sort of physician—that is to say, a mind-numbing conformist addicted to the drug of government propaganda—whose attitude leads one to wish that, in the interest of fair play and full disclosure, every US hospital had the same sign over its main entrance that Dante saw over the gates of Hell: “Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate!” (Abandon all hope, you who enter!).

    AIDS, like the Holocaust®, is a vicious fantasy with malice aforethought. Its existence depends on a magical component—call it HIV, call it a CD4 count, doubtless call it something else next month or next year—without which it is not considered present. As I heard Peter Duesberg say almost forty years ago to the black journalist Tony Brown on the latter’s PBS program, Tony Brown’s Journal,

    Tuberculosis + HIV = AIDS; tuberculosis without HIV = tuberculosis.
    Kaposi’s sarcoma + HIV = AIDS; without HIV = Kaposi’s sarcoma.
    Dementia + HIV = AIDS; without HIV = just plain stupid.

    The scam is indeed this simple and this dishonest. It is not just Anthony Fauci but also uncountable thousands of physicians for whom cash is more important than the Hippocratic Oath (nowadays so watered down as to be better called the Hippocratic Recommendations) who have profited from this deception at the expense—not an expense to them, however!—of their patients’ lives.

    A background in theoretical physics taught me that even eminent professors sometimes promote insane ideas.

    The views of Montagnier and others deserve examination, but it is difficult for non-specialists to judge whether they are correct. One way would be to find an active researcher in the field, who has been open-minded enough to read and examine "dissenting" viewpoints; and ask him/her to give a point-by-point explanation of the parts that are correct, incorrect, undecided, or plain irrelevant.

    Many researchers will have thought through questions like "Is HIV the cause of AIDS?", because this is one of the things they must do if they want to genuinely understand the current state of the science. If they discover a basic flaw in the orthodox science, this will be a fast track to fame and fortune; if they do not, their reward is simply a deeper understanding. Talking to such a person would be the quickest way to find out whether there is anything significant in the unorthodox theories of HIV.

    Peter Duesberg and others claim that HIV is an “innocent bystander” that does not cause AIDS. As far as I know, no such person has attempted to demonstrate his conviction by injecting himself with HIV.

    (1) Both in print and in person, Duesberg frequently called HIV “a harmless passenger virus,” never “an innocent bystander.” What, I wonder, prevented you from getting the facts straight before shooting off your virtue-signaling mouth?

    (2) In addition, it is well documented that Duesberg offered to be injected with HIV under conditions sanctioned by NIH and NAS and with full oversight in place at every step of the process. The formal grant request filed with the NIH was rejected without comment, but someone in Fauci’s office told an assistant of Duesberg’s that it would be immoral [!] to underwrite an experiment that would certainly result in the researcher’s death. When Duesberg was asked, in effect,”why not go ahead with the test anyway?” he replied that he’d be a fool to do so. Why? Well, because (A) the “scientific community” would give no credence to the results since the test had not been conducted under NIH auspices,* and (B) it would be wrong to devote somewhere between one and three years to an experiment that would deprive him and his family of income they needed to live at something above subsistence level.

    In light of the foregoing, I respectfully call upon readers to decide whether you are a liar or just an ignoramus.

    You haven’t read Duesberg’s book. You haven’t heard Kary Mullis talk—e.g., here—about how he spoke directly to Luc Montagnier and others of the grand panjandrums of the HIV/AIDS racket in his long search for the name and date of a scientific paper wherein the researcher demonstrated that “HIV is the probable cause of AIDS.” In Montagnier’s case, to the embarrassment of his staff, his reply to Mullis was accompanied by the sort of shuffling and mumbling that has become uncomfortably familiar to everyone who has seen Joe Biden lose track of where he is and what he is supposed to be talking about.

    As Mullis says, he at last came to recognize that nobody could help him because there is no such paper. AIDS is a fraud, and HIV was labeled as its cause by an NIH press release that lacked any scientific basis.

    Unlike you, Kary Mullis—God rest his soul—was interested in evidence, not in swallowing Establishment drivel and then repeating it.

    Does the HIV virus exist?

    Of course it does. Don’t be a child. It’s a harmless passenger virus, as was long ago demonstrated by Peter Duesberg. Several years later, Kary Mullis came on board. He explained why and how in his preface to Duesberg’s major publication for the general public, Inventing the AIDS Virus. In the late 1990s, Luc Montagnier admitted that he had been wrong all along and sided with Duesberg and Mullis—as had by then a great many others, all of whom were whited out by the Establishment and then largely denied any publicity by the (((media))). The reaction to these men served as the dry run for today’s mechanisms of suppression, whereby anyone who speaks out against wokeism, the Neo-Bolshevik Revolution of 2020, or the Covid Hoax is made to appear nonexistent today.

    You favor suppression of dissent, especially when it speaks the truth, don’t you?

    What was killing thousands of homosexual men and drug users in the 1980s?

    As Duesberg explained, virtually everyone in the scientific and medical establishment realized from the get-go that the amyl nitrite poppers, drug use, and the disgusting anal sex that were and are prime features of homosexual conduct were almost certainly behind the reappearance, after something like a century, of Kaposi’s sarcoma and the other deadly diseases that began appearing in unprecedented numbers in the late seventies.* As is now the case in every field of human activity here in the Jewish-led and perverted West, however, the desire of the Establishment to normalize—indeed hallow—homosexuals and their sexual practices led to plain-spoken directives from private and government research-funding sources that no explanation that stigmatized homosexual activity would be tolerated.

    I’m stopping here. You have no interest in truth, no interest in evidence, no interest in the expert opinion of honest, principled laborers in the scientific vineyard. You want only to parrot the (((party line))) in every area of human activity and silence or discredit or humiliate everyone with the temerity to defend what’s right and true. So rant all you want in reply. In aspiration at least, you are as vile as Fauci.

    Don't be a child? How about actually reading the thread before responding to me. I was told that the virus doesn't exist.

    Sounds absurd but this is Unz where people still deny that COVID exists.

    Both have been fully mapped and in fact their sequences can be downloaded by the public. HIV mutations are tracked as are COVID mutations. This is all accessible to the public and here you are calling me a child for the equivalent of explaining how you can track satellite orbits to the flat earth society.

    Virtually everyone in the scientific and medical establishment today believes that HIV causes AIDs and we have drugs that prevent it from happening. These drugs are very expensive but are you suggesting they aren't needed?

    Are you saying it's just a grand coincidence that all those cases of Kaposi's sarcoma just happened to appear with the prevalence of AIDs?

    What about the blood transfusion cases? Were they all secretly doing anal sex and poppers? Kids too?

    When homosexuals destroy themselves without HIV they don't get Kaposi's sarcoma. They get liver failure from Hep C, sepsis, all kinds of conditions but not Kaposi.

    You want only to parrot the (((party line))) in every area of human activity

    Most of my posts at Unz are related to deconstructing the establishment lie that race doesn't exist. That is mainly why I come here. US politics cannot be honestly analyzed without the context of race as a biological reality which makes all mainstream media sources fraudulent. That includes conservative sources that maintain their own set of lies centered around "big government" as the cause.

    Thus the suggestion that I am here to defend the establishment in all areas of human activity is ridiculous. Check my history before using such a weak argument. YEA WELL UZ A JEW DERP.

    I guess every doctor, pharmacist, nurse and medical researcher in this country must be Jewish for believing that HIV causes AIDs. Billions spent on antiretroviral drugs must have been wasted. The results must have been fabricated. It's all a conspiracy that a Kennedy lawyer reject and some internet posters have uncovered. SURE.

    It’s not the numbers that matter now, nor was it so then. The government and its epigones were actively working to discredit all research financed from private sources. It was made plain to Duesberg from the start that any so-called AIDS research not sanctioned a priori by a federal agency would be dismissed out of hand. Also then as now, the community of scientific and medical professionals were by and large interested in seeking truth solely in direct proportion to its effect upon their income and professional advancement. Fauci had made it known that Duesberg and other HIV/AIDS heretics were latter-day Typhoid Marys.

    Incidentally, if you are genuinely interested in scientific research—hope springs eternal chez moi—you might do a little reading of your own, preferably from sources not inherently (((corrupted))). You would learn that all nontrivial advances made in cancer research have come out of private labs. Why? As Duesberg explains, there is no incentive for scientists working in government-funded projects to discover anything, because once they do, their project—hence, their sinecure—comes to an end! Duesberg pointed specifically to research attempting to link cancer to a viral origin. Precisely because it has gotten nowhere in fifty years, researchers are wildly in favor of doing more and more of it.

    As if he would be incapable of doing anything else, such as his ordinary work, while living with a virus he considers to be harmless.

    You haven’t read Unz’s article, have you? (Perhaps half of all commenters here, by their own admission, read little or nothing that they ostensibly comment on.) At the time Duesberg made the first formal offer to be injected with HIV, Fauci and his happy little helpers had shut Duesberg out of all government-funded research and had successfully pressured most private cancer-research funders to do the same. UC Berkeley accommodatingly stripped him of most of his lab staff and also reduced his teaching assignments against his will.

    This is simply untrue. For example, the Medical Research Council's Molecular Biology Laboratory in Cambridge is funded by the UK government, and has many examples of scientists who made major discoveries, and then continued in their work. One of the most prominent is Frederick Sanger, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1958 and again in 1980.
