Jessica Winter in The New Yorker writes about an amusing war in Amherst, MA’s public schools that pits ultra-liberal white parents Munchausen Syndroming their children into the transgender faith vs. black and Hispanic Christian DEI hire staffers who think this trans stuff is the work of Satan:

It just occurred to me that after years of being baffled by quotes of a mother referring to “they” of ambiguous number, that we could clear up the grammatical confusion created by this practice by changing the nonbinary pronoun from “they” to a more appropriately reverential “They.” This mother’s child is sacred, better than other children, and deserves to have Their pronoun capitalized.

Of course, capitalizing a nonbinary They’s pronoun only works in writing. So we need some sort of gesture to accompany They in speech to indicate we are referencing just a single one of our Betters. Maybe full body prostration whenever we say “They?”

In the comments, I hope to see dozens explaining how Amherst was always a conservative, traditionalist, heterosexual, level-headed, God-fearing haven from big city ideas until The jews moved in and ruined it.

  4. My second thought is: Do you seriously think these Amherstians came up with the transgender concept themselves at all? Hell no they didn’t. They’re just susceptible, as in open to almost any idea they think is liberal and smacks of freedom.

    Oh, shame on those ancestral whites in New England, one of the birthplaces of all that enables you to pontificate here. Oh, ha ha, laugh at them from SoCal Suburbia.

    Somebody sold them a pile of shit, and they ate it up. Suckers. The worst thing you can say about them is that they are suckers. Well-meaning people often are marks, marks for con men.

    Who are the con men?

    Don’t worry, though, the immivasion by old-country people will straighten them out.

    In case you don’t know (but you do, oh you do) this tranny thing is irrelevant to what is really going on.

    With these folks, prohibitions against dancing, bright colored clothing, and an inclination to self-immiseration – “I’d rather eat beets than ice cream” – has morphed into ethno-masochism, panic over the imminent apocalypse (climate change), and, most disturbingly and more difficult to explain, mutilating their children.

    I love my fellow Nice White New Englanders, but yes, they trend kooky in certain ways. A compounding factor: low fertility. Yankee idealism of the past was somewhat constrained by their historic tendency to work 100 hours a week and have 15 kids. Today, Nice White New England Towns like Amherst are largely composed of old individuals/couples or else parents of just one or two children: basically, people (particularly women) with too much time on their hands and too few offspring among whom to spread the burden of expectation.

  13. So I’ll go out on a limb here per Steve’s little snark at the end there and play devil’s advocate for the sake of discussion.

    I’ve seen it argued that while white Gentiles have no problems espousing and championing evil and destructive nonsense such as the current transgender insanity, without Jewish influence, they wouldn’t dream that crap up on their own. So the argument would be, say in an alternate universe where Hitler won, Amherst would be lily white today, neither suffering from transgender mania nor non-white demographic replacement.

    I’m too ignorant to say whether there’s any merit to that argument (my assumption is there’s not much, if any–but, again, I’m an ignoramus), but I believe that’d be the typical “counter-Semitic” response.

    I eagerly await seeing where this goes lol.

    An excerpt from the article:

    For Jo’s family, the stakes were terrifyingly high. Jo has sensory-integration challenges and has also been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, all of which were exacerbated by the middle-school environment. The school nurse let Jo use her office during the day whenever they needed to decompress and play Terraria on their phone. Sometimes, Jo visited Letha Gayle-Brissett, the school’s climate-and-culture coördinator, a role that focusses on social-emotional learning and disciplinary interventions. Gayle-Brissett put a beanbag chair in her office just for Jo, and would lower the lights and provide snacks whenever they dropped by. A few months into eighth grade, Jo was hospitalized for depression and suicidal ideation, and later withdrew from arms. Eventually, Jo’s mother filed the request for a Title IX investigation.

    Not that I am trying to be reductive, but Jews actually have a bigger influence on Amherst than a typical American town – all but a very few areas, in fact.

    It’s not some normal town by any measure. It’s got the flagship state school and half the population are students, and, surprise, surprise, a fair number of the radical ones are Jews, often from NYC or Brooklyn. And you’ll find them going around trying to get people to sign gay petitions.

    Does it rub off on the local high school? Probably.

    Is it Jews specifically? Not necessarily, but it is not a good place to advance the null hypothesis.

    LGTBQ could eventually used as an excuse to sanction other governments because nation A isn’t accommodating trans-kids pronouns and thus violating their human rights. This is why CIA supports it. This could escalate right on up to regime change operations.

    LGTBQ undermines traditional religions, because their traditional God is is a homophobe and thus illegitimate. LGTBQ can be used against Islam in this way in particular.

    Kids can be taken from homes in some jurisdictions if the parents refuse to support their transition or refuse to use the chosen pronouns. I’m sure plenty of pedophiles are excited to see children taken away from their protective parents and placed elsewhere, where the predators have a better chance.

    One more note………..it’s just another way to cause division, lower birthrates, and general unhappiness. The pharma industry and counselor army will get a few new jobs created and thus more $ also. Lawyers will get more work too.

    As I suspected, here are some important NOTICINGS. Call me shocked that you didn’t offer insight.

    —In truth, the crisis was a collision of multiple issues: racial tension, union power, the respectful treatment of queer and trans kids, and the place of religion in schools—not to mention the aftermath of the covid-19 pandemic and what it has done to the fabric of civic life in the U.S. The public schools in Amherst were slow to return to pre-pandemic normalcy; they reopened for a mix of in-person and remote learning in April, 2021, only after they were forced to by the state of Massachusetts. “We had physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, and parents writing to us in despair about the impact that remote learning was having on the emotional and mental health of the children in our community,” Allison Bleyler McDonald, a former school-committee member, told me. Leaders of the Amherst teachers’ union “refused to even speak to us about the possibility of opening up schools and classrooms,” she said—

    —The Amherst district has often lacked consistent leadership, and nowhere was that more evident than at arms. Late in 2022, the principal at the time, Diego Sharon, had been in and out on family and medical leaves; Morris appointed Delinda Dykes to fill in, but she lasted less than six weeks, after parents complained that she had summoned a dozen or more students to the principal’s office for being boisterous in the cafeteria. Two finalists for the job eventually withdrew their applications, and Morris slotted the high-school principal, Talib Sadiq, into the role. The middle and high schools sit across the street from each other; Sadiq still oversees both, walking back and forth between them in the course of the school day.—

    —Many people in the Amherst district describe a community that has become habituated to outrage—addicted to conflict and reprisal. Here, as in so many pockets of America these days, conflict doesn’t seem to be part of a difficult journey toward resolution; rather, conflict often appears to be the entire point. “Town politics have gotten very ugly,” Farah Ameen, the local parent, told me. “People are attacked. Their families are attacked.”—

  28. Mark G. says:

    Back in the early nineties when National Review had just begun its decline, it put out a college guide which included a list of ten colleges to avoid. Amherst made the list. Amherst was already a bastion of political correctness. It had eliminated all curricular requirements, dropped the reading of classics written by dead White males in its courses, and adopted affirmative action in its admissions process.

    This was starting to happen all around the country at the time. The rise of Wokeism had its origins in this nineties period. Many of the leftist professors then had been student radicals in the sixties. Earlier radical periods had been the thirties and the early 20th century Progressive era.

    Wokeism existed in embryonic form among the early 20th century WASP Progressive types: Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, John Dewey, Herbert Croly, Charles Beard, Upton Sinclair and so on. This was when you first had a rejection of the political system set up in the late 18th century by the Founders.

    I can help resolve that last question.
    When Christianity was flushed out, it was replaced by turbocharged self realization.
    These parents cannot (for most of them it’s too late) self realize into a new persona,
    But their kids can, so part of this is the parents thinking that they are doing well by their children by encouraging (deluded) self realization, and some of it is the parents doing it by proxy.
    These parents would do less, long-lasting harm to their children if, instead of encouraging this kind of self realization at such an early age, the parents instead relived the sixties and dropped acid and had swinger parties, but (stayed married and) left their kids alone. To be clear, dropping acid and swinging aren’t great ideas either, but less dangerous to the kids than genital mutilation.

  36. I was in the same headspace in the 70s. Thankfully, I’m still friends with many from that time. They want to maintain the progressive allegiance, but consistently leak worry and woe about the self-destruction of their institutions by the toxic presumption that anyone who disagrees with you is motivated by malice. The only way people can work together successfully is to assume that your comrades are benevolent, absent evidence to the contrary.

    I don’t know whether the woke bubble will pop at the national level as a result of the 2024 presidential election. But I do know that it is crippling all of the local progressive organizations (one example – no one who is both competent and sane would accept an executive director position at this point). I’m talking about the people of good will. The remainder of opportunists and mentally deranged can still do a lot of damage on their own.

    Steve, I’m guessing you’re being a bit sarcastic here. I’m not from the area, but I have relatives who’ve done family genealogical research so I’m a bit familiar with Western Mass and the demographic history of the area.. I’m mostly Irish Catholic in background, and my forebears settled in Western Mass after arriving in Boston in the mid-19th century. They and other Irish Catholic immigrants got into farming and working in the factories in Western Mass where the American Industrial Revolution started and then spread westward into New York state, the Ohio Valley, and beyond. The factories were set up by WASP businessmen and much of the labor were Irish immigrants. My family line ended up in the Midwest because the entire business and factory uprooted and moved west to set up there.

    I have other distant relatives who stayed in Western Mass and have toured the area. Northampton is one of the major towns there near Amherst. Calvin Coolidge was mayor of Northampton. In Coolidge’s day, Northampton and much of Western Mass’s towns were roughly half WASP, half Irish Catholic. There was a WASP side and Irish Catholic side of town in Northampton. And the area was generally conservative as a result: half the area were stodgy Protestants like Coolidge himself, and the other half were Irish Catholic working class types.

    By mid-20th century, the area was more Irish Catholic working class after decades of WASP demographic decline. And starting in the 70s, lots of liberals from New York City (including many Jews) and transplants in general, starting moving up the Hudson River valley into places like Western Mass and Vermont. Bernie Sanders would be a famous example. Lots of the colleges in the area like Amherst, Williams, Smith, Mount Holyoke, etc. were no longer finishing schools for well to do WASP types but became more liberal, intellectual, and bohemian. Most of the people in the area now are transplants or from relatively recent arrivals from major metro areas in the Northeast and the rest of the country.

    These are puritanical, prudish, Yankees.

    Two people with the Mayflower surname Soule showed up in the trans debate in recent years. One was Sarah Soule, a presumably Yankee high school athlete leading a lawsuit in Connecticut against allowing disturbed boys– black boys in this case– into girls’ sports. In contrast, presumably anti-Yankee George Soule at a counter-trans protest a few miles north in Ottawa, says “I’m here because I think we have to protect trans kids and there’s no room for homophobia and transphobia and hate in our society.”

    (The original George Soule is not known to have brought any brothers over, so these two can be assumed to be his descendants. This man– as well as his daughter-in-law– had Dutch and possibly Dutch-Sephardic origins. The 0.05% Jewish ancestry would explain everything!)))

    You’d think the Canadian, a descendant of those who rejected mad New England ways in 1776, would have the saner outlook. But no, it’s similar to how Scandinavian Lutherans in the Midwest and Northwest are so much quicker than their “New Englander” neighbors to bash the South these days. After all, they were conceived without sin.

    The gang who brought you that business in Salem.

    It was a bunch of teenage girls in the countryside whom the adults mistakenly coddled. It was put down fairly quickly– it didn’t even reach the Village of Salem. Just the Town.

    They are upright, probably too God fearing, and smart.

    Too God-fearing? Most Palmettoans would say the problem is the lack of fear of God. But the underlying point is consistent– “Me right, you wrong. Me good, you bad.” Kind of like how blacks think.

    Puritanism spawned and split into several sects in New England, Unitarianism and Transcendentalism, prominent among them. Only marginally Christian compared to their great grandparents’ practices, they were quite progressive in their time, and still are. I believe Steve first brought up World War T around 2014. It took off after the Federal legalization of gay marriage in 2015. Now, less then ten years later, with the zeal that Puritans prosecuted witches in a small frontier community, their descendants believe in Transgenderism, a belief that makes witchcraft look like the highest order of science.

    Obama’s administration is responsible for sanctioning trans-mania, with the Enda Act prohibiting hiring and employment discrimination on the basis of gender identity and also declaring “gender identity” as a protected class under Obamacare.

    Now, what coven of actors are responsible for these policies? Have the ilk of Amherst been moving in that direction for decades or are they just zealous believes of another destructive fad. Could be both.

    Yep. The only pronouns that “belong” to you are the first and second person ones that include you as part of the conversation. That’s where the whole “be polite” justification is plausible, because you’re talking to the weirdo to his face

    Third person pronouns are referring to an antecedent who is not part of the conversation so he doesn’t have a say because he is not there. Dictating those pronouns is literally trying to control the speech and thoughts of other people.

    And the whole use of “they” to refer to a single person is just dumb.

    Salem is crawling with overly serious witches and Wiccans. There is a funny irony that so much of the town’s tourism is a cheeky exploitation of the Salem Witch Trials, yet there are many people who move to Salem to live the “witch lifestyle”. There are some carny level attractions from the 1970s that would constitute a hate crime if witches had protected status.

    https://salemwitchmuseum.com/locations/witch-trials-memorial/

    The Salem Witch Trials Memorial embodies the cognitive dissonance of Salem. The Memorial features testimonies of the condemned witches where they proclaim that they were wrongly accused good, faithful Christians, but the occult tourists believe that the women were actually noble and independent witches who were killed for practicing their superior faith.

    Weirdly, the Salem With Trials Memorial was inaugurated by Nobel Laureate, Holocaust author Elie Wiesel.

    Transgenderism was partly influenced by the Human Potential Movement of the
    1960s-’70s. The movement, incl. Yoga, was especially active in California with Esalen as
    its epicenter. But what you usually hear from Yoga people is that you cannot
    solve your sex problems primarily on the level of sex. They will in fact tell you that
    much of our unhappiness and many of our problems result from the fact that
    humanity’s inner energy (or life force) is stuck at the lowest levels of our being, i.e.
    the lowest three chakras (root, sex, and power). To solve our physical and mental
    problems, we need to raise our inner energy (or Kundalini in Yoga theory) to the
    higher chakras, namely heart, throat, third eye, and ultimately the crown so
    all chakras are open and active.

    As a result, yoga people are not terribly enthusiastic about transgenderism.
    Their typical answer is that to solve your sex/gender problems, you need
    to raise your energy to at least the level of the heart (love) chakra, and
    preferably higher. In Yoga theory it’s a trivial statement to say that our inner
    energy is a mixture of male and female energies. Some men have an
    excess of female energy, and vice versa. That doesn’t mean we need
    to surgically refashion our genitals accordingly.

    From the point of view of Yoga theory, Christianity’s goal is to raise our
    inner energy to at least the level of the heart (love) chakra so we have reverence
    for life, and don’t go through life like savages. Ideally, we should lift our
    energies even higher, to the levels of the third eye and crown chakras but
    those are the levels of saints and enlightened beings, and beyond the
    reach of ordinary people. Individuals whose energies have been lifted
    to the higher chakras typically have a magnetic, joyful, healing presence
    which fascinates people, and sometimes binds them in spells.

    The problem, however, is that in most cases “they” refers to a *generic* rather than a specific individual. As such, *they* refers to a mixed sex group.
    I realized this while attempting to resolve the award he/she but avoid the singular they. It is easy to rephrase to speak about the group rather than an individual without changing the meaning of the sentence.

If you cannot discern how utterly polluted Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture has been from its beginning in self-righteous revolutionary fury determined to destroy all other cultures in the British Isles, all of which were far more traditional and conservative, then you are blind.

    Those who wish to refuse to see that Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant comes first in Anglo-Zionist Empire and Anglo-Zionism, can take comfort in knowing that indeed, Anglo-Saxon Puritanism was built upon a Judaizing heresy, or to be more precise, a few Judaizing heresies all nicely interconnecting. And, the blazing fact is that almost all Protestantisms born of English ‘reformation’ were from their origins and remain steeped in Judaizing heresies.

    Now that it’s been normalized in America, the Brits are painting themselves as the arbiters of “reason and moderation”–closing the Tavistock child butchery unit and saying whoa, maybe sterilizing kids isn’t such a hot idea after all. But that’s another psy-op in itself. They see Americans as the ultimate dupes, the cattle who fall for an endless series of “Simon Says” directives from London. They’re having a right larf now as they gear up for a ww3 that they have no intention of fighting themselves.

    In both New England and New York during the 1960s , statewide politics about legalizing abortion broke down to: Republicans, led almost exclusively by country club WASPs, were Pro abortion, while Democrats, led almost exclusively by Catholics, usually Irish, were Anti-abortion. Liberal black US Senator from MA Edward Brooke was a Republican.

    Does that help you discern things better?

    As for that 1980- Presidential election: until Reagan was elected, almost all Neocon Jews – those crazed lovers of perpetual war for perpetual peace and ever greater destruction of the white middle class, were continued either in the anti-Carter fringe of War God worshipping Democrats (such as Senator Henry ‘Scoop’ Jackson) or were still honest about being Socialists (a few still were best known as being anti-Russian Trotskyites at least by family). But Reagan’;s election saw them all start a migration to control Republican foreign policy because they had hated Carter and his foreign affairs so thoroughly because it was based on actual diplomacy to avoid needless war.

    Does that help discern anything?

    Here are some of my thoughts about the “parents Munchausen Syndroming their children into the transgender faith,” AKA- Munchausen syndrome by proxy. This phenomenon reminds me of similar phenomena in my medical school education in which there was an increased societal demand on autism testing and discovery of multiple personality disorders under every crevice. One of the instructors who was a skeptic felt that the increased attention on autism and multiple personality disorders was societally induced. He stated along the lines that the likelihood of being diagnosed with autism (for the child) depends upon how much the parent believes in the condition, and that the likelihood of being diagnosed with multiple personality disorder (for the adult) depends upon how much the therapist believes in the condition. Could it possibly be that gender genuflecting by proxy follows similar societal forces???

    In both New England and New York during the 1960s , statewide politics about legalizing abortion broke down to: Republicans, led almost exclusively by country club WASPs, were Pro abortion

    The Catholics weren’t numerous enough to impose their will even in the states where they were most prevalent. They needed a significant number of their Protestant neighbors– the ones not in country clubs– to ally with. These were descendants (as were many of the country-clubbers) of the Protestants who enacted the laws in the first place.

    Yes, a minority can wield a significant veto power over making big changes in existing law– note that Connecticut and Rhode Island were the only two states not to ratify the Eighteenth Amendment.*

    You are also ignoring the important difference between “liberalization”– e.g., the bill Gov Reagan signed and later regretted– and legalization– i.e., ” on demand”, “pro-choice”, “woman’s right to her body”. The latter was still a radical position in the 1960s. Elective abortion was only legal in two or three states when Roe came down from on high. The legislature of one of those states, New York, had just repealed the law, which would have returned to one of the strictest régimes in the land had the governor not flown in from out-of-state specifically for a very public in-your-face veto.

    Yes, that governor fits as well as any your cartoon description of New England Republicans. But “Rockefeller Republican” was already current as a pejorative. Not long before, Connecticut had defended, all the way to the US Supreme Court, an 1879 law– i.e., both WASP and Republican– banning the sale of contraceptives.

    Come to think of it, the most strongly pro-abortion Republicans were Nelson Rockefeller and his arch-enemy Barry Goldwater.

    I highly recommend Kenneth Williams’s Defenders of the Unborn, from Oxford University Press, a history of pre-Roe abortion politics in postwar America. It is very balanced; I read it cover-to-cover, and found no clue to the author’s personal opinions on the subject.

    One interesting aspect, made clear in the book if never explicit, is how thinking about the issue broke down so neatly along Protestant/Catholic/Jewish lines, like no other issue. Catholics, whether Latin Mass or Vatican II, were fine with the existing laws; the child had status equal to the mother. Rabbis from Reform to “black hats” saw this status as unequal, strongly favoring the mother. Protestants, whether mainline or “fundamentalist”, were in the mushy middle muddle, worrying primarily about the social effects of changing the law. “Liberalization”, that is, the easing rather than the repealing the old bans, was already making progress in the Dixiecrat South.

    *As for the almost-as-radical Sixteenth Amendment, of the five New England states, only Maine ratified it within the first three-quarters necessary. Two others did so later, i.e., redundantly, and the other three demured.

    Penny Pritzker, senior fellow of Harvard Corporation, faces scrutiny after Claudine Gay’s resignation as president

    Harvard alum led the committee that selected Claudine Gay as the university’s president

    Pritzker graduated from Harvard in 1981 with a bachelor of arts degree in economics and has worked in real estate, hospitality, and financial services. She was an early and prominent financial backer of Barack Obama’s candidacy for president and later served as US commerce secretary in his administration from 2013 to 2017.

    Pritzker was chair of the presidential search committee that selected Gay, who succeeded Lawrence Bacow, who stepped down in June.

    In a letter announcing Gay’s appointment, Pritzker described the new president as having a “rare blend of incisiveness and inclusiveness, intellectual range and strategic savvy, institutional ambition and personal humility, a respect for enduring ideals and a talent for catalyzing change.”

    Pritzker has been a member of the Harvard Corporation since 2018. (The board functions much like a board of trustees at other universities.) She is the first female senior fellow in the corporation’s 372-year history.

    She was elected to the position in February 2022. In the role, she leads the 13-member corporation board, whose members are not paid.

    She was appointed months after she donated $100 million to the university for a new building for the economics department. Her tenure began July 1, 2022.

    When Pritzker’s appointment as senior fellow was announced, Bacow praised her “extraordinary mix of qualities” and “distinguished service across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, far-reaching experience as a board member and civic leader, and a decades-long devotion to Harvard and our highest aspirations.

    “She cares deeply about inclusion and opportunity, and about the power of education to change lives for the better,” Bacow said. “We will be fortunate to have someone of Penny’s experience, judgment, dedication, and breadth of interests as our new senior fellow.”

    Noted as a hot bed of crop eared witch burning fanatics in its early history, New England and places like Amherst have always been at odds with the historic American nation. But, with the Civil War essentially won by New England using the canon fodder of other Americans, they have the largest megaphone. Now, instead of propagating Christ and the Bible, they want to propagate Pronouns and Trannyism.

    While it isn’t clear how these contemporary Amherst folk will deal with the revolt of the people of color in their midst to neo-Yankee trannyism, it might help to consider were it started. This trannyism started in Germany, specifically in Berlin. There the first institute was established to study and affirm sexual perversion and then research sex disfigurement, known as the Institute for Sexual Research.

    The head of the institute was some Jewish German named Hirschfeld. But his surgeon was a German-Pole, named Gerhbrandt, who has been accused of being both Catholic and Protestant. As well, the Institute’s funding is also mixed with support from both Gentile and Jews. Hitler of course closed the Institute down. Hirschfeld died in exile in Paris in 1935. But, Gerhbrandt was welcomed into the Nazi party and became Chief Medical Doctor of the Dachau Concentration camp. After the war he became an East German commie and Stasi officer.

    Other members of the Institute included a Chinese Doctor who later ran around the global weird underground were only spies, criminals, revolutionaries, and occultist hang out. He attempted to establish an institute in Hong Kong using both Chinese and British assets. Don’t know what happened after that. But other members made it to Amherst and Columbia University where they all continued to communicate and collaborate from the works of Hirschfeld and Gerhbrandt.

    So, basically what we have here is a bunch of backsliding Protestant descendants of scary Witchburners morphing into Unitarians, then drifting off into secularism, and finally in the 20th century deciding it would be a jolly time to have a bunch of weird Nazis, Jews, and Asians come over to talk about cutting off penises and carving out vaginas. As someone else wrote elsewhere, having purged themselves of Christ, they’ve left a big hole into which all sorts of spirit baddies have entered. Their Hispanic and Black servants however, are not to keen.

    The Question now becomes, do we and Amherst owe this new fangled medical philosophy of sexual disfigurement to Jews, Asians, Commies, Nazis, Catholics or Protestants? And do the victims of Dachau get reparations from Jews or Nazis, since both were responsible for creating the medical programs used to victimize so many at Dachau. As to the Neo-Yankees? Clearly they are just a bunch of retards.

    The British attempted to get Irish to do the field work in the Caribbean. They all died of heatstroke etc. So the bigwigs decided that niggers might survive long enough in the heat in Jamaica. That was for Sugarcane and to some degree tobacco. Yes that was moving blacks around but it was only moving them from one tropic to another tropic. The British did not move in blacks to Dublin, Cork, Belfast etc. The British did not industrialise the process of cotton with the gin. Even by 1820 the black American population was manageable and effectively throttled with new slaves by Royal Navy patrols from around 1805 onward. The curious overlap between agrarian south and the industrial gin, made breeding blacks profitable for planters in the US. Black population explodes. That was the American republic doing the enblackifacation. A self inflicted wound on all counts.

    …just as Jews have no problem being addressed as “Chosen” The notion of being better than everyone else runs very deeply in both groups.

    Christians hold to the “Chosen People” construct as well. But to interpret that as somehow being “better than everyone else” is not only wrong, it would be heretical to most. To Christians, being “chosen” is about noblesse oblige:

    For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
    –Luke 12:48, KJV

    I’ll let any Jews present explain their own take for themselves. My guess is that almost none of their harshest critics of we meet here are Christian in any but the most nominal sense, so they would not be sensitive to such niceties, if even aware of them.

    Would you say that Claudine Gay was an example of Jewish domination of academia?

    She was removed from her job because Jewish billionaires demanded it. Jewish billionaires demanded it because she wouldn’t privilege Jews by shutting down anti-genocide protesters. The Claudine Gay Affair is Exhibit A for the “Jews control the academy” hypothesis.

    Instead of denying the obvious fact of massively disproportionately Jewish power the real question is how it is wielded. To what extent are Jews acting as a unified group? And, if they are, to what extent is their group agenda good or bad for the country?

    On Israel it’s beyond dispute that they have a tribal commitment to promote its interests over those of the United States. But so what? That’s entirely predictable and it’s only natural that ethnic groups will lobby for favorable treatment of their ethnic kin and homelands. The Jews also rig history and “journalism” around issues they care about, like the Holocaust, alleged “Anti-Semitism,” etc. But how much harm, if any, is this special interest rigging doing to society generally?

    Obviously Jews are massively over-represented in the ranks of leftist, globalist intellectuals and activists, and they kinda do control the media. But the gentiles in these positions seem about equally leftist and anti-American. So, assuming one thinks leftist intellectuals are the problem, it’s a fair question to ask whether this is a “Jew problem” or an “intellectual problem.”

    The prima facie case for Anti-Semitism is that leftist intellectuals suck, and this group is dominated by a tribe making up just 2% of the population. How could this be without unfair advantages, privileges, and conspiracies at work? It’s the identical logic that the NYT uses to “prove” systemic racism against blacks — i.e., “Blacks are 13% of the population but only 1% of physics professors, so the system must be rigged.”

    Both discrepancies are explainable by the HBD effects at the right tail of IQ distribution. But Jewish leftist intellectuals have banned this IQ-based explanation from official discussion. (Oh, the irony). So maybe this should limit their standing to complain that Anti-Semitism is a baseless “conspiracy theory.”

    Nah. The biggest movers of population were the Spanish Catholics. They moved orders of magnitude more Blacks than the British. That’s not including the Catholic French. All that movement was done by Catholic Bankers not WASPs or Jews. That continued into the late colonial period as well. The British only seriously attempted to move populations around in the late colonial period in the West Indies and Oceania when they moved Indians to those areas. Oceania stopped it when the British colonial settlers out a stop to it. The West Indian use ended when the planters realized they had moved high functioning high in hard working anti-WASP ethnic-religious bigots into their area and went “ooops.” Anglo-Zionism is not a useful explanation in light of history.

    Sailer’s problem is that he regards the West, for all its problems, as the better place to be, and may even believe deep down that some part of it is salvageable and worth leaving behind to his progeny.

    Whereas the alt-right Jacobins believe that only a purgative fire will save us, and they believe their shamans who assure them that the spirit dance will make them immune to leftist bullets, and that the holy fire will never sear them or anyone they care about. So let it all burn. Mind you, they’d never leave the West, or the comfort of their armchairs and grandmothers’ basements, but everybody else is gonna have to go down into a crisp — it’s for their own good.

    Sailer is a gradualist, a Fabian, a Menshevik. The true believers will not forgive him for that. They know that people like that will have to be pushed aside if real change is gonna happen, and they know that this time, the new boss will be different from the old boss and it will all be worth it.

    There is an explanation for this, but the explanation is extremely long and complex. I am writing an article that will be submitted soon, but I am going to give you the short explanation:

    The Republican Party, starting around 1960, has gone way, way to the Right on social issues. New Englanders back then were mostly Republicans, yes, but they were not conservative.

    Republican does not = conservative all the time. This is especially true in the northrn part of the U.S. And this is even more true among the educated, wealthy, bourgeoise classes in “Blue” states that voted Republican in the past.

    It’s true that the Republican Party, historically, has been associated with the higher socio-economic classes, but this is true only for today’s “Blue” states, and the old Republican Party stook in opposition to both northern progressivism *and* southern conservatives. Republicans back then were basically wealthy Libs.

    The current profile of Republican voters is actually much more similar to that of old Democratic voters in the South.

    New Englanders were never, ever, ever conservatives in the way that the term is now used. Never, ever, ever. In fact, NE is the historical liberal mecca of U.S,A.

    I am going to give you 3 more words for you to ponder: Henry Cabot Lodge.

    “Actually Ukraine killed 15,000 ethnic Russian civilians by shelling Donetsk from 2014 through 2022.”

    Oh, here we go again with the poor shelled children of Donbass — which is all the Ukrainians’ fault, by the way.

    Oh sure, during several months of OSCE monitoring it was determined that 90% of the violations came from the Russian-funded (i.e. non-government-controlled) areas of Donbass, — you know, where the “local heros” like Girkin were running things, but that just shows you how Putin derangement syndrome has infected the West. Nah, it’s all the Ukrainians’ fault. Kinda how it’s all the Ukrainians fault (when it isn’t Nuland’s) that they started yammering about wanting to get into NATO after that Crimea thing (which they started, too, by the way). Here’s what one “hero of Donbass” has to say about that:

    Girkin: Nikolai, where were you in Crimea?

    Nikolai: I was there on the 16th of March for the referendum.

    Girkin: Well pardon me, but I was in Crimea from the 21st of February [6 days before the invasion]. And you know well that what you’re telling me is absolute bullsh… Unfortunately, I myself didn’t see any support from any organ of government power in Simferopol where I was located… It wasn’t there. The Crimean deputies were rounded up by our militias in order to corral them into the hall and make them vote for the decision [to secede].

    But see, it was totally different in Donbass. There, Girkin and the other local heroes (receiving Moscow salaries for some reason) ran a totally standup shop. The fanboys seem to have forgotten about Girkin now that Moscow has arrested him. Strange.

    Here’s a little more on what the Ukrainians had to put up with on the wrong side of the Minsk accord boundary lines. But yeah, any trouble in Donbass — totally the Ukrainians’ fault.

    Most Americans understand that those who want to continue funneling money and weapons to the Ukraine are either weapons manufacturers who want to keep their profits up or people who were unable to leave behind their ethnic feuds when they came to this country. If the Ukrainians want to continue this war they can do so but Americans are moving on to deal with more serious problems here at home.

    Israel seems to be killing about 250 civilians per day, so you have a point. It’s more like one 10-7 level massacre every two days or so, not daily.

    ***The Israeli military implemented the “Hannibal Directive” during Hamas’ attack on 7 October, killing some of its own civilians and soldiers to prevent Hamas from taking them as captives back to Gaza, according to an investigation by Israel’s leading newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, which will be published in full on 12 January.

    As previously reported by The Cradle, Israeli Air Force (reserve) Col. Nof Erez described Israel’s actions on 7 October as a “mass Hannibal” event“ in response to the use of Apache helicopters and tanks. “What we saw here was a mass Hannibal. There were many openings in the fence, thousands of people in many different vehicles with hostages and without,” he told Haaretz.

    The revelation that the Israeli military informally issued the Hannibal Directive raises questions about the deaths of many Israeli civilians who were initially presumed taken captive by Hamas on 7 October but whose bodies were later discovered near the Gaza border fence.

    Hypocrite? No, you got it backwards, as usual. Salier’s problem is actually foolish consistency. And you know what they say about that.

    Yeah, he’s always been follow-the-science and go-with-the-evidence. And that’s OK when it comes to things like IQ, because that’s pro-white (OK, maybe not pro-white so much as it is pro-Ashkenazi and pro-Asian, but at least it might be kinda anti-black, maybe, at least at the outset, and being kinda sorta anti-black is even better than being pro-white. Priorities!)

    But anyway, when COVID came along, he should have tossed his principles out the window and did what the leftists do when the science doesn’t suit them, which is to scream “fascist” and “science is a tool the establishment uses to oppress us” and stuff like that. Why did he stay the course and refuse to be a hypocrite?

    And then, when the stolen election came along, and the alt-right found that it had no real evidence to prove the election was stolen, he should have just repeated “it was stolen!” over and over again like the rest of the alt-right, and just like the leftists who scream “black Cleopatra” over and over and then got a Netflix “docu-drama” out of it. Because that’s how the game is played. Evidence shmevidence — why didn’t Sailer just switch gears?

    Moreover, Sailer has for years looked down on leftist rabble-rousing and mau-mauing and the crimes of exuberance it led to in Ferguson and elsewhere, and good for him. But when it comes to the Jan. 6th riots, he should have forgotten all about that and completely changed his tune. After all, when has violent revolution and agitation ever backfired and hurt anyone? Get with the program, Sailer!

    And yeah, he doesn’t like it when the US meddles in other countries affairs, and that’s fine. But then, for some bizarre reason, he thinks it’s also bad when Putin launches some boondoggle against his neighbors.

    So at least we agree on that. I mean, I just can’t figure this Sailer guy out either. It’s like he has this code or something and just keeps sticking to it. Bizarre!

And as for ME using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder (as opposed to the fanboys cheering on the king of cannon-fodder tactics himself), who are you kidding? I’ve said from the very start — and this goes back to the swipe of Crimea — that if Putin had stuck to his earlier subversion strategy and tried to work out the same deal in Ukraine that he did in Belorussia — instead of giving up like a spoiled brat who upends the checkers table when he loses a game — he could have had all of it, from Kharkiv to Lviv, without firing a single shot, and there’s little the West could have done about that. So that’s on him.

    And even now, if the Ukrainians don’t want to fight, and choose to refuse the aid the West gives them and accept Putin’s loving embrace, what am I or anyone else in the West gonna do about that? Invade them? That ship has sailed, I think.

Connecticut had slavery for over 200 years, from at least 1638 to 1848 when they passed the legislation called “An Act to end slavery”. There were over tens of thousands of African slaves in total in Connecticut in the 1600s 1700s and 1800s, over a period of over 200 years, including 2,764 slaves in 1790 as recorded on the official 1790 US Census.

    Also while it is true that the Republican party used to be RELATIVELY more socially liberal than the Democratic party at certain points in the past its also true that in an ABSOLUTE sense the Republican Party of the 2000s is more liberal than the Republican Party of 1960, which was completely against gay marriage while Trump supports it. In 1958 only 4% of Americans polled on interracial marriage said they approved of it.

    So in other words, their votes, and thus their right to political representation, are invalid because they lack the income and educational qualifications to hold proper views. Sort of like… negroes.

    It’s hard to understand coldblooded indifference, but we know it’s out there. Upwards of two percent of the population are sociopaths. Most of them are not violent, many of them are quite productive and some are quite charming. They just don’t have normal human feelings.

    Take a guy like Warren Buffett. He’s Awfully Smart and all that jazz. But he’s made it clear he has no loyalty to Whites or even Americans in general. He likes the “system” but couldn’t care less about the people. Real shrewd, coldblooded businessman, unaffected by any sentimental values.

    Every group has sociopaths, but other groups police theirs. The ADL brings hellfire down on anyone in their group that doesn’t tow the line. Every Black man needs to be seen supporting his people. Group loyalty is the norm (as you know).

    But right now White sociopaths are allowed to be open about their indifference to their own people. This is so much easier than things were for them 100 years ago! Then they had to pretend to be loyal. Now they can claim belief in “higher values” or Christian Missionary work or HBD Technocracy or whatever.

    I’m not saying Warren or Steve are necessarily sociopathic, just that they don’t have any particular feelings of loyalties to their own people. And from I’ve seen in life, such people never change.

    There were over tens of thousands of African slaves in total in Connecticut in the 1600s 1700s and 1800s, over a period of over 200 years, including 2,764 slaves in 1790 as recorded on the official 1790 US Census.

    This is highly misleading in that you are adding up the # of slaves who lived over two centuries rather than the # of slaves at any one time, mostly in the Colonial period.

    In 1784, Connecticut passed a gradual emancipation law, providing, among other things that newly born slaves would become free at age 25 (later modified to 21). According to the 1840 census , there were only 54 slaves left in Connecticut (inexplicably up from the 25 counted in 1830 – other sources say 17), so the 1848 law was largely symbolic and only affected a handful of people. As a practical matter, slavery was dead in Connecticut by 1820 (97 slaves) if not sooner.

    If the South had not rebelled, a similar gradual emancipation scheme could have been passed there and allowed for a peaceful transition over a couple of decades without war or disrupting their economy for a century, but as often happens when you want all or nothing, nothing is one of the possible outcomes.

    it’s a freak country and it’s a free country. Of the former. Petch wrote thus, 1966: ‘Sometimes heard in respect of the “sights” we see nowadays, like the dirty, long-haired teenagers. From the other expression, it’s a free country’: the former since c. 1960, the later since late C19, as a characteristically British expression of tolerance.
    ‘US, since before 1930s’, writes R.C., 1978, of it’s a free country, ‘first as an expression of tolerance, but, since [during the] 1950s, sometimes ironic, since it has become apparent that we are not quite so free as we thought’. P.B.: the same, alas, holds true for UK: the phrase has an increasingly defensive and intolerant tone to it, as in the all-too-familiar exchange, e.g. ‘Excuse
    me, but would you mind not smoking in here, please’—‘ ’Sa free country, innit?’ But in our modern world we may well ask not, like Pilate. ‘What is truth?’, but ‘What is freedom?’; the adage ‘Freedom for the pike means death to the minnow’ birds fair to become a c.p. of the early 1980s.

    I find that subtly dismissive (interesting IMO). From lumping it with the freak version (relatively uncommon?) to the ungrammatical example to the proposed ‘pike’ replacement (which does not itself appear in the book).

    My grandfather, from Connecticut, was one of the last of the old-line New England Republicans. He never held office but was active in local and to some extent state Republican party circles in the 1950’s and 1960’s. As he lived into his 90’s and was lucid almost to the end I had the chances to listen to his views on political issues and reminiscences about the Republican Party’s past. Based especially on the latter I don’t think his views were in any way atypical of New England Republicanism in the 1960’s and earlier.

    What I gathered is that the main positions of New England Republicans of the time were fiscal prudence and small government. Such policies as low taxes, strict limits on public debt and government spending, general non-interference with business, and opposition to the expansion of a more or less permanent politician/bureaucrat class. It’s no coincidence that New England was the last holdout in the US of direct democracy in the form of town meetings.

    New England Republicans of the time, in very sharp contrast to the national party today, were not dominated by fundamentalist Christians. I doubt my grandfather ever attended a religious service in his adult life. Social issues were of very much secondary concern and were mostly viewed on a live-and-let-live basis. My grandfather probably never heard of “trannies” but if he did he certainly wouldn’t have cared.

    And so far, Putin in Ukraine has not really given China a path that they would want to emulate. Ooh, can we turn ourselves into international pariahs and lose hundreds of thousand of men in a long and inconclusive war too? Where do we sign up? They might conclude that they were doing pretty well with the status quo and disrupting it would end up making things WORSE for China rather than better.

    And the Obama Doctrine that “Taiwan is more important to China than it is to us” is a total dead end. EVERYWHERE is more important to somebody than it is to us.

    Obviously if you are one of the 97 that’s not good but 97 out of a population of 275,000 is not a societal problem. There are probably 97 black junkies living in any block of the New Haven ghetto today who (despite being “free”) are worse off than those 97 (soon to be freed) slaves. The gradual abolition act turned slavery into a form of indentured servitude with a time clock on it. 3/4ths of them would be freed within the next decade.

    No, I think you have the “all or nothing” problem where 97 or 15 slaves means that “slavery still existed in Connecticut”.

    Only some of the pilgrims went to Holland. They arranged for freedom to practice their anti Christian religion in Holland. But when they arrived they ran into the guild licensing and even. a version of labor Union licensing. Freedom to practice their religion but not the freedom to earn a living .

    So, Thry were forbidden to set up businesses or practice their trades. After a few years they realized their children would end up as maids in other women’s houses or for the men day laborers begging for work. The pilgrims who remained in England had to rescue them.

    That’s what caused the pilgrims to look at the New World. At first they approached the Virginia Company. But unlike the gentlemen of the Jamestown Settlement they read the contract carefully. Work 5 days a week for the Virginia Company 1 day a week for themselves and 1 day a week not working but attending church. A sure route for poverty and exploitation.

    So they refused the Virginia Company offer. William Mullins and others sold their real estate and financed the trip themselves.

    The original destination was Chesapeake Bay Maryland. But somehow ended up in Massachusetts during the Little Ice Age that didn’t end until about 1850. There’s theories about why the ship’s captain brought them to Massachusetts instead of Chesapeake Bay.

    The Republican Party were the original champions of universal suffrage

    “Were”? Are you writing from the UK?

    Utah held the first elections in the world under universal adult suffrage in 1870. Seventeen years later, not happy with the results, a Republican Congress deprived half of Utah voters of the franchise in one fell swoop. Since you are so well-versed in US history, I needn’t explain what this was about, but suffice to say that when those Utahns got the vote back in 1896, the Democrat Bryan carried the state in a landslide.

    …he passed legislation to secure the voting rights of African-Americans back in the late 19th century.

    And how well did that work? You are focusing on one issue, voting and race, which lay dormant for most of the century following Reconstruction.

    Connecticut never had racial segregation, or slavery, and was one of the first states to do away with the Death Penalty.

    Michigan has never had the death penalty, Wisconsin used it once, in 1853, Minnesota ended it after a botched 1911 hanging. It continued in Connecticut, at least on paper, until 2015. The state’s last execution took place in 2005.

    As for never having slavery, that would come as a surprise to genealogists:

    that is slave to Lieut. Jonathan Boreman, was born on the 23d of Janu-

    Listen, I don’t ever think that anyone has to be bound to anything, as long as whatever they do, or what they don’t do, doesn’t negatively effect others or (here ya go Dad!) the majority and it’s community.

    Okay, so what I honestly think is: Weird, sad people like the one in your video selection, can go on and live the best lives they can, but not while harming the rest of us.

    Simple, I know.

    Did I notice that HE/(she, LOL) is a Jew? Yes. Okay, so?

    Everyone, myself certainly, is working his way through life every day.

    Men are men. Women are women. Marriage is a union of a man and a woman. My government, at any level, should only recognize and subsidize: marriage, childbearing/rearing, and joint ownership and estate wealth — jointly owned by a man and a woman married under law. No one else.

    I guess I’m a Neanderthal, and I guess this would surprise many who think they know me.

    What you showed me is a freak show. I get it. I also am pretty sure that freak has not link whatsoever to Amherst, New England, or even the America that my ancestors conquered, settled and built.

    BTW, I just enjoyed a prime ribeye steak, and my wife also enjoyed hers, more rare even (she’s a vampire) grilled by me with smoked wood outside. Excellent, with her sautéed baby spinach, with her farro salad.

    Well, I got to fly a few times with him in vintage aircraft. That was his thing.

    He said to me (I paraphrase now, as best I can): “If something happens and I know I’m going down, and if there is nothing I can do about it, then I am going to watch what happens. I am not going to panic. I am not going to scream. I am going to watch what happens.”

    before you say Israel has no choice, understand that the Americans faced a very similar situation in Iraq and fought the insurgents in Fallujah without targeting the entire population.

    The same was true in Helmand with the Marines. We had Female Engagement Teams, usually including a Navy Corpsman and always a female interpreter, who dealt with women and children so no local customs were violated. We worked very hard to establish good relations. The “bad guys” were always a minority in any community, although they often held the inhabitants in fear if not abject terror. By befriending people rather than indiscriminately killing them, we gained their trust and cooperation and they told us who the bad guys were so we could go after them specifically. Even then we had Rules of Engagement stricter than those of any police force in the US. Of course, mistakes were made, sometimes being fooled by participants in clan feuds. But we learned and by and by Marinestan became a peaceful place, all things considered.

They could demand much higher prices from their hungrier brethren farther to the south.

He said, “Well yeah sure, I’ve got the meatball (meaning the Japanese flag) stuffed away in my closet somewhere, just like I’ve got the doormat (the American flag) somewhere in there too. But none of those fuckers ever did jack shit for me, I was a kid at the time, why do I care.”

It’s why one of my culture heroes is Fukuzawa Yukichi, the practical man, and not Yoshida Shoin, the honorable fanatic.

    The West Africans on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered to try and replicate the finished goods which the Portuguese and the Jews had sold them, and so continued to trade in slaves, which was all they had to offer: our present troubles are due to native African laziness, wow who coulda seen that one coming.

    In the New World, the Euros brought, along with their new-fangled diseases, large domesticated livestock animals like cattle, sheep, and horses.

Her entire career she had received Plaques for Blacks and was being groomed for higher roles. So it was really (literally) a no-brainer to elevate her further. Hell, this worked for Obama so why not Gay?

    She would have gotten away with it all if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids. I mean Jews. “The Jews” weren’t responsible for her elevation – it was 1000% in keeping with the way things are done in the modern academy and was almost universally applauded by all Harvard constituencies. But they were responsible for getting rid of her.

    Steve,

    When a corporation does well, the CEO gets a bonus. When it does poorly and bends the rules (and angers enough powerful people) the CEO goes to jail. That’s because when you herald an organization, you take on the responsibility of its impact for good or ill. Mr. Unz himself, along with many others, has determined through observation that a cabal of Jewish ethnic interest has taken up a controlling plurality of powerful people in Western civilization. So even changes which cannot be directly linked to this network of ethnic interest (though the trans agenda absolutely can) should be credited to the overseers of this change, the network of ethnically oriented Jews.

    Ask a random Joe if he wants to be President. The answer from most common sense people is “not really”. He mistakenly thinks that the President controls the United States, but he correctly surmises that it is too much responsibility for his comfort and he would inevitably be hated and shamed for any changes made.

    People like Ron Unz and Kevin McDonald have proved without a doubt who is running the show. I guess this is one area where you are an Antinoticer. If you like the way they are running the West, just say so. That’s totally valid. But if you don’t like the way things are going, denying your pals, the Ashkenazim, have any power is just childish.

    You have made the point that without a catchy name, ideas tend to wither on the vine. I have seen some others use the term “Judenreich.” Is that a good one? Somehow I can picture your index finger quickly hitting the backspace by the time you reach the “n” in Juden.

    As we learned from the Google AI debacle, it comes down to Garbage In Garbage Out.

    Not exactly in the usual sense of that maxim. Which is that if you feed incorrect data into your system, you’ll only get incorrect results, here there’s two types at different times of “data.”

    The problem for the Goolag and all the other generally SF/California bay area organizations that can’t stop talking about “AI safety” (albeit, often to suppress competitors, including free and open source and data ones), is that without putting a really heavy thumb on the scales, these “AI” programs trained on real world data would emit crimethink that would get the people responsible for them canceled. For Google, a fair number of years ago their image characterization system had a hard time distinguishing between negro and gorilla faces….

    So the “garbage in” is how they take your “prompts” to the “AI” and either intercept them outright I assume, easy to do when you use eeeevil words like “white,” or add extra prompting so almost everything comes out non-white, like that infamous set of Asians, female in one case, and negros in Nazi uniforms, helmets etc.

    “Sailer notices that Blacks have lower IQ.”

    As for Sailer, Mr. It’s-not-a-putdown-it’s-an-OBSERVATION (yet another knee-slapper that’s totally not like something a bigot would say), I carefully pointed out to you that Sailer ALSO notices that Asians and Ashkenazi have even higher IQ, which tells me going after blacks isn’t as much the point for him as his leftward critics maintain (or indeed, as some of his commenters want it to be).

    I.e., he’s willing to go with whatever is put together — in peer-reviewed detail — by people with fancy schmancy degrees (“experts”, if you will) and to incorporate it into his worldview regardless of whether it aligns with his own biases and prejudices or conforms with the political fashions of the day. I’m no expert on the topic, and find it only slightly more interesting than golf course architecture, but regardless of whether he’s eventually proven to be right or wrong, that’s far more than can be said of the “observations” you scraped up from your backside and, more generally, of the annoying alt-right truthers and purity police who incessantly pop up here to complain how they’re so over Sailer (and yet can’t seem to stop reading him) precisely because he continued to listen to the science even when it came to things like COVID. It’s also more than can be said of his more mainstream critics on the other side of the political spectrum.

    One of the many downsides of being featured on a site run by a guy who thinks Hitler was “quite reasonable” in his demands to Poland before they ultimately forced him to invade them (as in “Your Honor, I told her to shut her yap twice and go back in the kitchen and fix me a sandwich before I smacked her, so this is really her fault”), and who also stands up for the Holocaust denier who, by the way, also thinks the Nazis maybe had secret bases in Antarctica — not to mention hosting comment sections filled with the likes of you and your fellow crocodile-tear-shedders — just isn’t going to be taken all that seriously when he takes Israel to task, any more than you are.

    “You are either lying (most likely) or are completely out of touch with Right Wing Jewish politics. Her opinions are not out of line in South Brooklyn or the Five Towns in New York.”

    They’re also not out of line with the views of any number of Alabama rednecks, but you don’t have a problem with them, Mr. “I object to Ms. Weiss’ politics”. That’s the issue here.

    I have no problem with people being alarmed about Weiss and the not-negligible number of Likud supporters who agree with her but are media-savvy enough to avoid saying so openly. Israeli leftists and even moderates fear her more than they fear Hamas. Moreover, right-wing crackpots are a problem most anywhere they appear, whether the topic is neo-fascism in Ukraine, or Netanyahu’s Amalekite speech, or Dylann Roof’s Charleston — or else, this guy. Clearly, based on that link, I’m gonna say that your concern over objectionable politics is a tad one-sided.

    There is indeed a supremacist tinge to the Jewish notion of chosenness, or at least an inherent temptation to supremacism. I’m well aware of the usual retorts about how, no, it’s actually this totally benign thing that means Jews have to be responsible, etc., but we also all know the one about how whenever you have 3 Jews, you’ve got 5 opinions, and some of those opinions are gonna have a much darker view on what chosenness really means, even if those harboring them are too media-savvy to admit as much.

    But suddenly deciding you don’t like right-wing kooks on a site filled with conspiracy theories about Jan 6 and stolen elections and triple parentheses is not gonna convince anyone. It’s like suddenly trying to convince us you don’t like neo-fascists whenever the topic turns to Ukraine. Seriously?

    And for what it’s worth, the very fact that Weiss has multiple CNN videos readily available to the masses means the J-street isn’t quite as powerful as some people here want to think it is. I’m conflicted as to whether Netanyahu and some of his own Bannons are secretly pleased that someone like her is laying the groundwork that someday can be openly acknowledged (“oh, we tried making that Palestinian Gaza thing work, we sincerely did, but sadly, regrettably, we have no choice at this point, and resettling it is the only viable solution left”), or is outraged that this idiot can’t see that this is not really the right time to let the cat out of the bag.

    I’m not taking Israel to task. I already said that if I was Jewish, I’d have given driving the Palestinians out of Gaza a shot. But it didn’t work, so it’s time for Plan B.

    Also, Israel and American Jews need to accept the reality that their lapdog is no longer the lone power in the world. You also need to accept that Israel’s neighbors are getting powerful enough to punch back. Finally, you need to accept that you screwed up going overboard with immigration, especially allowing in Asians and Indians. Those other groups will never view you as one of their own. Bad move.

    You guys can’t just scream “antisemite” and get your way anymore. The world is moving forward. Yes, you’ll still have a lot of power, but not so much that everyone had to do what you say and never mention that you’re in charge. It’ll take some getting used to, but you’ll get there.

    But I think that you’re right. Steve probably should go to substack or somewhere else. Outside of his views on genetic group differences, Steve has become a very mainstream pundit for good or ill. He needs a more mainstream outlet.

    Yup, absolutely. Pretty much everyone in the sales end of the operation, as opposed to the production end, eventually gets a reputation for being greedy bastards (partly because they are, partly because if they’re not, they get driven out of business by people who are). Southern “aristocrats” are certainly in no position to criticize New England Yankees for arbitraging local shortages and getting while the getting’s good. I was merely trying to point out that at one time, New England peddlers had a reputation very much like Jews, insofar as not carelessly tossing around too many nickels. The cite I picked isn’t really the best example, but the internet is so neutered nowadays that unless you’ve got hours to spend chasing down rabbit holes, it’s hard to find a straightforward comparison of the phrases “Jew him down” and “Yankee him up”.
    Also, Puritanism in practice tended to emphasize a lot of features characteristic of the Old Testament, such as membership in a chosen minority particularly favored by God, physical isolation from the sinning masses, and heavy stress on the downside of incurring God’s displeasure through disobedience.

    I can think of another word that begins “Judenrei….”

    Anyone who would use a German word to describe alleged “Jewish rule” of America, after all that happened in Germany, is either a complete idiot or is being intentionally provocative and INTENDS to evoke Nazi terror. Steve is neither.

    Part of what makes Steve hard for the mainstream to dismiss (not that they don’t try anyway) is that he is a perfectly reasonable person and not some sort of ridiculous tinfoil hat guy spouting conspiracy theories or using hate words. Jokers who go around saying “Judenreich” are (rightly) instantly dismissed by everyone who is not some sort of true believer already.

    Many years ago someone asked Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the head of the Lubavitch Hasidic movement why he (and his followers) wore an ordinary fedora hat and black business suit

    instead of the spectacular sable fur hats and silk robes sported by other Hasidic Rebbes.
    Why, he was told, if he would only dress the part, he could have TWICE as many Hasidic followers.

    He replied that his goal was to return the maximum # of Jews to some form of religious observance and not to gather more Hasidim around him. Wearing a funny hat like that would only alienate secular Jews and make him instantly dismissible by them as some sort of antique fanatic.

    The Transgender-Industrial Complex by Scott Howard

    In his debut book, Nebraskan author Scott Howard exposes the actors financing the institutionalization of transgenderism. Behind the medical research into gender transitioning of children, ubiquitous pride parades, and Drag Queen Story Hours is a lot of money. Sex education, the homosexual and feminist precursor projects, and the global propaganda are all pushed and paid for by very wealthy and well-connected people with motive and will. Howard demonstrates that the transgender phenomenon is far from the “grass-roots movement” some of its advocates would have the public believe.

    Impeccably sourced and researched, The Transgender-Industrial Complex pulls the mask off the complex network of influential groups responsible for this inhuman project. Howard takes a deep dive into the murky depths of the Big Money behind Big Gay, exposing how the concept gained such recognition as well as the goals of the people behind it. At once wide-ranging and specific, advanced and accessible, The Transgender-Industrial Complex is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why every institution with power, and a great many without, are uniform in their inversion of reality, their religion of lies, and their commitment to all that is ugly, broken, and foul.

    Antelope Hill is proud to present its first original work: Scott Howard’s The Transgender-Industrial Complex.

    Yes, East Asians have a higher average IQ (tilted toward the spatial over the verbal) with a narrower bell curve. They have fewer standard deviations with more people clustered around the mean and fewer at the extremes.

    There is indeed a supremacist tinge to the Jewish notion of chosenness,

    That is not true. “Chosen” means “selected by God” to undertake a risky mission, like Joe Kennedy, Jr. was “chosen” to take off in a B-24 stuffed chock full of dynamite and then parachute from it before it hit its target. This is a dubious sort of honor as Joe Jr.’s atoms might tell you.

    Moses is “chosen” by God to free his people from the Egyptians and his response is to argue with G0d (you can tell Moses is Jewish) – I’m not qualified to do this, no one will believe me, why do I have to get the Jews out of trouble when you were the one who got them IN trouble to begin with, etc. (I always wonder about the last one – people are always thanking God who saved them from a flood or something – well who SENT the flood in the 1st place?) . Anyway, all the arguing is for nothing because God has chosen him (and the Jews) and that’s that. And all that hard work and he doesn’t even get to enter the Promised Land in the end. Being “chosen” is not like winning the lottery. Tevye asks God to “choose” someone else once in a while.

    “’Chosen’ means ‘selected by God’ to undertake a risky mission,…”

    Again, see what comes after that one sentence of mine that you chose to cite, specifically w.r.t. how there’s more than one way to interpret the word, and plenty enough Jews interpret it differently than you do and there’s no point trying to convince me otherwise given what my eyes see. It doesn’t mean your definition is insincere, or even that it’s not the “official” version, but ask people like Daniella Weiss to opine on that topic, then I suspect (again, if they’re willing to forego being media-savvy) they’ll see that “risky mission” you speak of in a far less benign light than you seem to, at least with regard to what it means for those they live with (or in her case, for those who must be — how did she put it? — persuaded to see it is in their interest to want to leave because they can no longer be lived with, or something like that). I mean, she may see that as benign, but others? Not so much.

    I’m not saying it’s all that different from making hay of American “exceptionalism”, and plenty of other countries and movements have their own messianic ethos or notions of chosenness or exceptionalism (e.g. Russia, Poland, Ethiopia), but we’re on a site where American exceptionalism is regularly trashed to bits, and that’s fair game, I say, but it means I don’t feel the need to be shy about taking on other kinds of exceptionalism.

    “First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools … This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians …”
    “Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed.”
    “Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them.”
    “Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb …”
    “Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside …”
    “Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them …”
    “Seventh, I recommend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow … But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., … then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., … then eject them forever from the country …”

    Her entire career she had received Plaques for Blacks and was being groomed for higher roles.

    By whom?

    So it was really (literally) a no-brainer to elevate her further. Hell, this worked for Obama so why not Gay?

    Right, the same rich Jew, Pritzker, who financed and promoted Obama for US President also championed Gay for Harvard president. Whatta Cohencidence. It’s rumored Lawrence Bacow and Alan Garber are also Jews:

    https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/07/claudine-gay-named-harvard-fas-dean/

    Claudine Gay named FAS dean

    “Claudine Gay is an eminent political scientist, an admired teacher and mentor, and an experienced leader with a talent for collaboration and a passion for academic excellence,” Bacow said in announcing the appointment.

    “As dean of social science, Claudine has demonstrated superb judgment, wide-ranging intellectual curiosity, and a leadership style that combines strength, aspiration, and compassion,” said Provost Alan Garber. “She is committed to nurturing a vibrant academic environment that brings out the best in our faculty, students, and staff. She truly personifies the values of the Harvard community.”

    Elevating Gay to Dean of FAS and then to President of Harvard:

    President Bacow
    Provost Garber
    Harvard Corporation head Pritzker

    You write:

    “The Jews” weren’t responsible for her elevation – it was 1000% in keeping with the way things are done in the modern academy

    So by way of organization exculpatory analogy, no doubt you’d agree with this:

    “The Nazis” weren’t responsible for invading Poland and doing the Holocaust—it was it was 1000% in keeping with the way things were done in modern Europe.

    Non-Jews are not “unclean”. As long as non-Jews abide by the “Noahide Laws” (which are a sort of basic threshold of civilized behavior) non-Jews are entitled to extensive protection under Jewish law, just as non-citizens are entitled to many (but not all) legal protections under Western law.

    Jewish law grants all non-Jews who accept these laws of civilization social and theological rights everywhere, as well as residency rights in a Jewish religious polity. As a result, the talmudic tradition split the gentile world into two sub-categories: immoral persons who reject the Noahide commandments and to whom tolerance is generally not extended, and gentiles who accept the laws of the Noahide covenant who are regarded positively, whom Jews are obligated to protect and sustain.

Ellis began a media campaign about racism in baseball, stating “Ain’t no way they going to start two brothers”, thereby guaranteeing that the National League would be forced to start him in order to refute charges of racism. Steve, in a post about typical New England dyke lunacy, threw out a totally gratuitous snark about comments tending to evolve into arguments over Jews, thereby guaranteeing that this particular comment thread would do exactly that.

    you seize upon that to draw conclusions that are not supported by logic

    It’s a simple matter of fact: Either you admit the ones in charge at Harvard who promoted Gay are Jews, or you pretend they are not, or pretend they had no responsible agency (just following orders?). If they were in charge, and are Jews, then Jews (not your straw man “The Jews”) are responsible for her position as Harvard president.

    “As long as non-Jews abide by the “Noahide Laws” (which are a sort of basic threshold of civilized behavior)”

    Again, three Jews => five opinions. Here’s a smattering w.r.t the question of “Do Christians count as Noahides?”:

    Considering Christian views on jews (especially that jEwS kiLeD jEsUs) I personally consider Christianity to be incompatible with Noahidism.

    Christianity itself is in violation of Noahide law, as Bene Noah are prohibited from creating their own religions or holidays.

    Christianity originally required adherence to the Sheba Misvoth for non-Jews who joined the early sect. Had things not splintered into a new religion, it could possibly have been considered a Noahide faith…[as in COULD have been]

    You can be any religion as long as you follow the 7 noahide laws including not worshiping idols. This has been stated by Rambam…The problem stems from the belief in the trinity…

    A non-Jew who busied himself with Torah is liable with his life. He must involve himself in their Seven Commandments only. Similarly, a non-Jew who “rested” as one would on Shabbos, even on a weekday, is liable with the death penalty… If a non-Jew busied himself with Torah or made Shabbos or made up something new, we give him lashes and punish him and tell him that he is liable with the death penalty for doing this. But he is not executed.

    [Muslims are] not idolaters, but at least according to the Rambam (and I don’t know anyone who has stated that they disagree) they would not be proper noachides.

    I believe because [Muslims] nullify the Torah they are not considered noahides as per Rambam who’s opinions are very respected in Jewish law.

    No, [Christians] are idol worshipers

    Christians who follow christain belief violate multiple noahide rules

    No, they’re straightforwardly idolatrous polytheists.

    by Jewish standards, Christianity is polytheistic [so the answer is no]

    Christianity violates the 1st rule, ‘do not worship idols’.

    There are of course others in the thread who disagree, but it’s fair to say they’re a minority. Granted, reddit tends to attract gatekeepers and holier-than-thou types of all faiths (especially the atheist faith, oddly enough) and they’re not demographically representative, but they can’t be ignored or brushed aside either, and my takeaway is that the consensus is less clear than you think. Some rabbis have also claimed that Amalekites no longer exist in any shape or form, but as we’ve heard from Netanyahu, that’s also not as settled as they would like to think.

    “the usual advice is ‘consult your rabbi’…”

    Either the r/Judaism community have conspicuously failed consult their rabbis — in which case, what hope is there for the wider Jewish community? — or else, their rabbis themselves exhibit a wider variety of opinions on the matter than you’ve allowed for. It wouldn’t surprise me if the peanut oil answers were likewise lacking in a clear consensus, though the broad implications of that are far less concerning.

    Here again, Jews are hardly unique in having a broad range of opinions on touchy and inflammatory topics. On the question of whether non-Christians can be saved, there would likewise be a variety of answers from Christians, I expect, and even the matter of who can even be regarded as a Christian would be addressed in much the same way as these posters considered the matter of who is a Noachide. But several branches of Christianity (Catholics come to mind) have people at the top who have the last word, authority-wise so it’s easier to get an “official” answer. It seems to me it’s less clear as to who gets the last say in Judaism. For example,

    Maimonides was clearly of the opinion that Christianity was idolatry. He is believed to have ruled in three places that Christianity is idolatry and forbidden to non-Jews

    However,

    In Moreh Nevuchim, Maimonides writes that Christianity… is perhaps a step up from idolatry.

    In his Epistles to Yemen, Maimonides implied that Christianity was idolatry, but he also says Christianity has a role to play in G-d’s plan by “preparing the way for the Messiah’s coming and the improvement of the entire world…”

    Make of that what you will. Would he rescue a drowning Christian, even though he explicitly says one should not save a drowning idol worshipper? Again, my takeaway is at best ambiguous, but leaning towards “maybe don’t bother”. And if you can’t get a clear answer out of Maimonedes himself, how would the community of rabbis be able to settle the matter with any more clarity?

    That’s a fantasy. The Romans weren’t into people moving. The broad mass of Palestinians stayed right where they had been since pre-history — in Palestine.

    Of course the record is unclear, but it would appear that a lot converted to Christianity — which, after all, started out as a Jewish sect.

    The bulk of the remainder appear to have converted to Islam when the Muslims ‘opened the books,’ so to speak, in the eighth-ninth century.

As a result, the talmudic tradition split the gentile world into two sub-categories: immoral persons who reject the Noahide commandments and to whom tolerance is generally not extended, and gentiles who accept the laws of the Noahide covenant who are regarded positively, whom Jews are obligated to protect and sustain.’

    Because life under a large continental regime run by a single legislative body easily captured by special interests is so much better than a loose Union of independent states? One thing about the large importation of post Civil War populations having no skin in the fights of the past is they minimize the significance of those fights and the truthful telling of the fights favoring instead the lazy approach of accepting unquestioningly victor’s history even when the same forces that brought about those earlier “victories” are making their presence felt in the here and now in a very negative way.

    Non-Jews are not “unclean”.

    Really? Why, then, does Shulhan Arukh, aka the Code of Jewish Law, “the most widely consulted of the various legal codes in Judaism” and also “the most widely accepted compilation of halakha or Jewish law ever written” assign gentiles along with “dishonest butchers, gamblers, usurers and thieves who cannot act as witnesses”?

    Or perhaps you might explain why the Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel once explained that non-Jews exist to serve Jews in the Land of Israel.

    Or why the Israeli legislature passed a specific law stating that only Jews have “the right of self-determination” in Israel.

    Or maybe you can explain to me why all of us goyish guests were seated at a separate table with separate plates and utensils at a Seder in Israel… while Jews from the same American contingent were seated with Israeli Jews and allowed to eat at the “clean” table.

    He was confirmed as a teenager, and presumably attended church services to appease his mother. But he had lost his early faith by that point. There is no evidence to suggest he ever attended Mass after his mother’s death.

    As I said before, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao had way more differences than similarities as human beings. But one thing they shared in common was the combination of a moderately skeptical father (not atheists-we are talking about three men born as impoverished peasants in rural Austria, Georgia, and Hunan in the 19th Century-and accommodating enough to the piety of their wives, but Alois Hitler was at least anticlerical and the Confucius preferring Mao Yichang only began to fear excessive atheism after a near death experience with a tiger), and a devout mother whose religious faith helped them endure the deaths of multiple children, and hoped their healthy boy would become a priest or monk when he was little.

    That’s true. But there sometimes is also a self-aggrandizing reason for such things. The most flagrant I personally saw was at Johns Hopkins. One of the original buildings had been named Rowland Hall, after Professor Rowland, an experimental physicist known for fabricating the highest quality diffraction gratings, used in the early 20th century for spectroscopy. A bigwig finance guy and alum, Zanvyl Krieger, had Rowland Hall renamed after him. They even got rid of Rowland’s name, which had been carved into the original building. As a sop, they changed the name of the Physics Department to reflect Rowland’s name. But I never understood why they simply didn’t name a new building after Krieger instead of de-personing an existing building.

    In support of this claim, he refers to another a violent passage from Maimonides that is not translated in the bilingual addition of the Guide published in Jerusalem in 1962. He sees this as a deliberate deception on the part of the editors to soften classical Jewish militancy. His own English translation of the passage, which discusses the command to kill Jewish infidels reads: “It is a duty to exterminate them with one’s own hands.

    Hitler was an Austrian Catholic but the Holocaust was also perpetrated by German Lutherans, Ukrainian Orthodox, etc. It was not an exclusively Austrian Catholic endeavor any more than Harvard is an exclusively Jewish enterprise because of Penny Pritzker.

    Hitler was not a Catholic. Unlike Jewishness, which is a particularist amalgamation of matrilineal heritage, ethnicity, and religion, Catholicism is a universal religion, full stop. Hitler might have grown up with a Catholic mother, but he was not a Catholic and led an occultist political party that was deeply anti-Catholic.

    And the comparison to the Jews and Harvard is highly deceptive (as is usual with you). Jewish elites do dominate Harvard whether as donors or as administrators.

    So, because Hamas conducted a successful raid, Israel can blatantly target women and children?

    And before you say Israel has no choice, understand that the Americans faced a very similar situation in Iraq and fought the insurgents in Fallujah without targeting the entire population.

    Wikipedia: First Battle of Fallujah US, etc 27 killed, Al Q. etc. 184–228 killed…
    572–616 civilians killed. Second Battle of Fallujah US, etc. 107 killed, Al Q. etc. 1,200–2,000 killed…
    581–800 civilians killed. I’m not sure how many civilians were still present for the 2nd round (compare with Gaza, where virtually no one has left), but that’s when (according to you) “[not] targeting the entire population”.

    If the IDF actually were targeting the entire population they’re doing a remarkably poor job of killing it, IMHO.

    And the “success” of the “raid” depens on what must be a very odd metric. Terrorist dead were the largest number of dead on 10/7 et seq. When did that change?

    Keep in mind that as much as many people (including you?) would like to pretend otherwise this is not an issue with views split into a dichotomy. I doubt you know as much about my views on this as you claim (or think you do).

    As I asked once before, do you think the statement from Gandydancer which I quoted holds? If you are going to engage with a comment of mine I think it quite fair to expect you to read at least the comment to which it was a reply. And for your convenience I included a quote of the relevant portion in the comment you were replying to.

    There is what I believe to be a tremendous amount of incorrect information out there on Oct 7.

    That at least we can agree about. Can we also agree neither Israel nor the Palestinians (and their respective advocates and detractors) have a monopoly on misinformation? The point where I suspect we disagree is which views are being amplified by the mass media in the US.

    P.S. Who do you trust on this issue? I suspect that would make quite clear where YOU stand–because I am guessing those sources don’t make a pretense of neutrality. And about there being no point in arguing further. I agree, feel free to give me the last word and this will end. I will note I do see some value in having you articulate your position and sources.

    If that (“Do you see that as a good thing, or a bad thing? Is it what happened?”) was a real question then you must be pretty oblivious to cues since it was perfectly obvious, even before Sailer’s follow-up comment (“So that explains why Amherst was so conservative up through 1979.”) that he thought that the idea (which you “find… perfectly plausible”) that ” Amherst was always a conservative, traditionalist, heterosexual, level-headed, God-fearing haven from big city ideas until The jews moved in and ruined it” was lunacy. Hence my response, “Why would you expect Sailor to pronounce on whether something that never happened is a good thing or a bad thing?”

    Worth noting Gandydancer’s silence when he is actually supplied with the link(s) he requested. Funny how that works. Infinite time and energy to engage with this thread otherwise though.

    As if. My time and energy to engage with this thread is actually such that I just reached the comment to which you posted your response yesterday, so apparently YOU are the one with comparatively infinite time and energy to devote here. LOL!

    Unz is quoted making one of his lunatic claims (“I think that perhaps as few as 100-200 unarmed Israeli civilians may have been killed by the Hamas fighters, in many cases inadvertently, while all the rest died at the hands of Israel’s own trigger-happy military.” Inadvertently, my ass. 100-200, my ass.) and I will now look at the link and respond to it. I very much doubt that it will ACTUALLY be what I requested.

    This seems relevant.

    Indeed it is. It proves MY point. It references the article which the pre-publication blurb claimed showed

    The Israeli military implemented the “Hannibal Directive” during Hamas’ attack on 7 October, killing some of its own civilians and soldiers to prevent Hamas from taking them as captives back to Gaza, according to an investigation by Israel’s leading newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, which will be published in full on 12 January.

    What the publish article ACTUALLY says, according to the link you supply now is

    They also revealed that “some 70 vehicles” driven by Palestinian fighters returning to Gaza were blown up by Israeli helicopter gunships, drones or tanks.

    Many of these vehicles contained Israeli captives.

    The journalists wrote that “it is not clear at this stage how many of the captives were killed due to the operation of this order” to the air force that they should prevent return to Gaza at all costs.

    “At least in some of the cases, everyone in the vehicle was killed,” the journalists explain.

    So the answer to my challenge,

    Do you have even one example of “The Israeli military… killing some of its own civilians and soldiers to prevent Hamas from taking them as captives back to Gaza” as opposed to captives getting killed by Israeli fire directed art terrorists, which is not the same thing? Link?

    You did that for us by pointing to the Wikipedia article, which reveals that the Secret Six were just fine with initiating a race war, they just thought Harper’s Ferry was too far east and too close to the forces that could suppress such an eagerly anticipated (by them) outbreak. Noting that Abolitionist terrorism and Jihadi terrorism are both terrorism, and that the groups trying to initiate the one are “a bit like” the group that tried to initiate the other should be obvious.

    What you haven’t responded to, and are attempting a deflection from, is your quote of and endorsement of the lies in Wikipedia’s lede about the Six not having engaged in a conspiracy, which even a cursory reading of the article reveals to be an utter lie. Both of us have pointed this out to you and, tellingly, you have attempted no defense for repeating and endorsing the lie.

    You seem to have missed a clarification I offered in another comment.

    There is a difference between “Israeli fire directed art terrorists” and “Israeli fire directed at terrorists with reckless disregard for the lives of any hostages present.” The latter seems a better description of what happened.

    When you blow up vehicles containing both kidnappers and captives I think it is clear the priority is not preserving the lives of the hostages. Though that does fit nicely with the idea of a “Hannibal directive.”

    I consider your admission of many vehicles containing Israeli captives being blown up intentionally sufficient contradiction of your original point.

    You:

    As to quoting Unz’ beliefs about the body count, one can only laugh.

    The point is not to tout his exact numbers. It is to make clear a significant number of the Israeli casualties were likely due to “friendly” fire.

    Laughter and ad hominems do not make an argument. No matter how much you wish it were so.

It claimed “The Israeli military [killed] some of its own civilians and soldiers to prevent Hamas from taking them as captives back to Gaza.” I made the point that these are two different things right off the bat but you ignored that despite here quoting me making the distinction.

    Contra vous, Jack D has not denied that specific Jews participated in the selection of Claudine Gay. He’s denied that (quoting Sailer) “the jews” did it.

    Looky here Dandyprancer, the phrase “the Jews” was used sarcastically by Sailer referencing Amherst (the town), and by Jack D referencing Harvard University.

    In Jack’s case, it was a straw man because no one except Jack D used the collective unqualified phrase “the Jews” to describe the specific Jews—whom I individually named—who promoted Gay through the ranks. Poor Jack is forever doomed to validate, by proxy, Goebbel’s quote.

    You’re not in position to erase the fact that what Jim Dandy quoted was a lie by suggesting a different complaint about IDF actions. Especially if you attempt this obfuscation of my point (WHICH WAS THAT IT WAS A LIE) without admitting first that it was a lie. Indeed you offered a link that supposedly disproved my ACTUAL POINT that actually proved it. You haven’t admitted THAT either.

    As to whether the IDF shooting up vehicles stolen from ravers and others as they attempted to flee back to Gaza was “reckless disregard” for the lives of the “human shields” that might be on board, that’s a different discussion entirely, though I disagree with you about that too. Refusal to allow hostage-taking to work seems sensible to me. The guy who planned 10/7 was released (along with many, many other terrorists) from Israeli prison in an earlier idiotic exchange of a lot for very little, and that just got more people killed in the end. As would probably have letting the terrorists get back to Gaza unmolested, where they would be harder and more expensive in Israeli life to kill. The Hannibal Doctrine isn’t reckless disregard, it’s well-considered proper regard for a longer view. It’s not just the hostages’ lives at stake.

  548. @res

    The point is not to tout [Unz’s] exact numbers. It is to make clear a significant number of the Israeli casualties were likely due to “friendly” fire.

    Nonsense. You clearly endorsed his ridiculous junk numbers by quoting them absent others, and now you’ve done it again by claiming that his shit “makes clear” anything other than that he is a nutter. It does not. Unz’s crazy opinions have no probative value whatsoever for anyone with a lick of sense and any experience with him.

    So stop obfuscating and tell us what you mean by “significant”. Because I, too, don’t think the number killed inadvertently by friendly fire was “insignificant”, so so far you’ve communicated nothing solid but only a vaporous anti-IDF slur. If you have an evaluable claim to make state it clearly and I’ll evaluate your evidence for it, if any. And don’t Mott-and-Bailey me again by making a different claim entirely.

    Bullshit. Jack’s refuted this and I’ve refuted this but you and your brown-stain brigade’s Goebbels-like activity includes just repeating your lies endlessly.

    Here is your version of the Goebbels quote:

    The Jew is immunized against all dangers: One may call him College President, Provost, Corporation head, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

    — Former Harvard President Claudine Gay

    Of course Jack has never denied being a Jew or expressed any injury at being identified as one. So, so much for that. Nor has he denied that Prizger played a significant role in choosing which affirmative action candidate was going to get the job Gay was bounced from or that Pritzger is a Jew. So you lied about that too. What he’s denied AND WHAT YOU’VE CLAIMED (“…of course it would implicate all [Jews] as a group…”) despite your attempt to obfuscate that you’ve done it is that he and Pritzger can be meaningfully lumped together in locutions like “The jews did this”.

    You are attempting to obfuscate the actual sequence of events in this exchange.

    MY point, which preceded your comment on my response to Jim Dandy, was that THE CLAIM THAT THE ISRAELI TIMES ARTICLE WOULD SHOW THAT THE ISRAELIS KILLED TERRORIST CAPTIVES IN ORDER TO PREVENT HAMAS FROM TAKING THEM TO GAZA was a lie. YOU then linked to a description of that article which indeed showed that what had happened was that the IDF had fired on terrorists rather than targeting captives. Jim Dandy’s “point” is not a “different” one, but was the whole subject of the comment to which you “responded”. I pointed that out to you, but a more recent comment by you (“I consider your admission of many vehicles containing Israeli captives being blown up intentionally sufficient contradiction of your original point.”) shows how determined you are to pretend that this conversation has nat been about the fact that the claim about the IDF was a lie. Which you STILL haven’t admitted despite inadvertently providing proof of it.

    And of course I DID respond to your attempt at distraction by saying that the Hannibal Directive (which the article says was never mentioned by the IDF in its instructions to its pilots, but which I agree was implemented in spirit by destroying the fleeing terrorist vehicles) is entirely sensible. I don’t know what “point” you are referring to that I have supposedly left unaddressed. You may not like my response, but it was made and you have left it unrebutted. So I take it that it is YOU who have no “effective response”.

  558. @res

    I haven’t transitioned from “Do you have even one example” to anything. You tried to provide an example but examination of it revealed that it wasn’t one, but instead PROVED MY POINT. The answer is that you don’t have any examples and, that established, there is nothing further to say.

    I then responded to your attempt to change the subject by claiming that Unz’s claims about the number of Israelis killed on 10/7 “made clear” that the IDF had killed a “significant” number of them by asking what you meant by “significant”. This isn’t an attempt by ME to change the subject. YOU did that.

    You extracted “absent others” from my comment, but a more complete quote is,

    You clearly endorsed [Unz’s] ridiculous junk numbers by quoting them absent others.

    Saying that Unz in his article links to sources supposedly supporting his conclusions (I’ll take your word for that) in his article is no answer to my observation that you endorsed HIS numbers HERE by quoting Unz without reservation AND ABSENT OTHERS, explicitly claiming them to be credible. ( “[What Unz says] make[s it] clear a significant number of the Israeli casualties were likely due to “friendly” fire.”) You think people are too stupid to notice this attempt at conflating two different assertions, but thinking that I won’t notice and won’t point this out is what is so utterly brown-stain level stupid.

    (b)“The Jews” weren’t responsible for her elevation[, but] they were responsible for getting rid of her. [I assume that some who had input into getting rid of Gay were non-Jewish, and acknowledge that Jack is incoherent in the flatness of the latter claim.]
    (c)”[The Nazi Party was] not an exclusively Austrian Catholic endeavor any more than Harvard is an exclusively Jewish enterprise because of Penny Pritzker.”
    You: “Are you claiming Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber are not Jews?”
    Jack D: “Are you claiming Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber exercise sole control over Harvard and that there are no non-Jews involved in running it? / Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber are Jewish AFAIK but you seize upon that to draw conclusions that are not supported by logic.”

    So, he has repeatedly NOT said that no Jews were responsible in the hiring of Gay. What he’s said is that “the Jews” are not responsible for it. Your failure to acknowledge that he has made this distinction is dishonest.

    Of course, the answer is yes: Claudine Gay is an example of Jewish domination of academia. No one would here would know the name Claudine Gay if she wasn’t elevated (as it happens, by Jews) to the presidency of Harvard.

    You and Jack have tried (and failed, quite entertainingly) to deny that “example of Jewish domination of academia”, in the process ironically validating (by proxy) Goebbel’s quote as cribbed by Claudine Gay.

    As to the Sailer quote, I repeat that it is clearly ABOUT the likes of you and not about Amherst.

    No, it’s about Amherst. Read it again, it couldn’t be clearer. I know you wish it wasn’t so, but Sailer’s a straight shooter and doesn’t speak in esoteric code. It’s scuzzy of you to attempt to twist the meaning of what he wrote.

  570. Sailer’s comment hit quite a nerve and and is repeated dozens of time in this comment thread, so I have read it any number of times. None of the brown stains except you have been in any doubt that it was directed at them. E.g., in comment #2 Mike Tre says “You’re starting to sound like Jack D.” So, according to brain-damaged you Jack D has a recognizable stance on Amherst? LOL!

    Claudine Gay wasn’t “elevated (as it happens, by Jews) to the presidency of Harvard.” She was elevated by a board which INCLUDED certain Jews to the Presidency of Harvard, and quite clearly not on the basis that she could be relied upon to take pro-Jewish positions, because her obtuseness regarding the concerns of Jews on campus is what got her fired, again both by Jews and non-Jews. This has been explained to you any number of times but you keep insisting that only Jews chose her, and in misrepresenting… no, lying… that Jack’s position is that no Jews were involved in doing this. Because you think that no one will notice that you are lying? Truly, nothing other than having been repeatedly dropped on your head can explain your faith that anyone other than similarly brain-damaged brown stain individuals will overlook this when it has been spelled out so clearly so many times already.

    Here’s the 13 members of the Harvard Corporation:

    It looks like at present that only 2 of the 13 are Jewish, but they have the top 2 jobs: Allan Garber is the acting president and Penny Pritzker is head of his bosses. On the other hand, 3 of the 13 are black, 1 is Mexican, and 6 are women. Back when Claudine Gay was President, only 1 of 13 were Jewish.

    On the other hand, a large fraction of big donors to Harvard, like Bill Ackman, are Jewish, but they aren’t well represented due to DEI demands.

    What it looks like is there is a war going on between Jewish non-DEIs vs. DEIs, but nobody can quite articulate it.

    Elevating Gay to Dean of FAS and then to President of Harvard:

    Back when Claudine Gay was President, only 1 of 13 were Jewish.

    Before being chosen as President, she was chosen by key Chosen as Dean of FAS, which is a major position. She wasn’t merely plucked out of nowhere on a whim. Then-President Bacow and then-Provost Garber appointed her Dean of FAS, with approval of the Corporation, on which mega-donor Pritzker served. As I wrote above (with link to The Harvard Gazette):

Harvard Corporation head Pritzker

    You write:

    What it looks like is there is a war going on between Jewish non-DEIs vs. DEIs …

    Thank you, Steve. That indicates an affirmative answer from you to Jack’s (faux-naïf) subthread-starting question: “Would you say that Claudine Gay was an example of Jewish domination of academia?”

    You continue:

    … but nobody can quite articulate it.

    Upthread, I articulated it in one sentence:

    Golem-wrangling can be tricky.

    More specifically:

    In the Harvard example, there are powerful anti-White Jews like Pritzker who are laser-focused on promoting and protecting anti-White Blacks (golems) in important positions (e.g., her early backing of the Half-Blood Prince). Some of those Jews who do so are delusional or unafraid about possible blowback on Jews, because their the main motivation is anti-White spite, and believe(d) the Holocaust card shields them as a non-White protected victim class (“anti-Semitism!”).

    Other Jews, like Ackman, are indifferent to well-known institutional anti-White and anti-“oppressor” prerogatives (a major activist donor, he claimed he didn’t know what DEI really meant until after October 7th, LOL) unless it blows back on Jews specifically. Whites, not Jews, were getting the DEI heat as the oppressor category: Jews generally felt protected by the D in the “diversity” umbrella of campus DEI. Until October 8. Ackman:

    https://www.thefp.com/p/bill-ackman-how-to-fix-harvard

    I first became concerned about Harvard when 34 student organizations, early on the morning of October 8 [e.a.]—before Israel had taken any military actions in Gaza—came out publicly in support of Hamas, a globally recognized terrorist organization, holding Israel “solely responsible” for Hamas’ barbaric and heinous acts.

    How could this be? I wondered.

    Neither type of the above “Jewish non-DEIs vs. Jewish DEIs” as you put it, is a friend to Whites, although panicked Jews like Ackman can be a useful weapon (reverse golem? careful..) against the “Jewish DEIs”.

    There are some righteous Jews like Amy Wax and Edward Blum who have long fought the good fight, but the former type (Pritzker, Bacow, Garber) are a real problem and are more numerous than the latter in important positions. It turns out that some commenters here don’t like that kind of noticing.

    Sorry Steve, that was an accidental misquote by me—you actually wrote:

    between Jewish non-DEIs vs. DEIs

    A bit ambiguous wording—did you mean the “DEIs” in question are Jewish? I count Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber as DEIs.

    I have course have not ignored Bacow
, Garber
 and Pritzker, and neither did Jack. This claim by you is merely a repeat of your already refuted lie that “Jack is [and I am] trying to say that no Jews were responsible”. Some Jews were partly responsible for Gays elevation, as we’ve both already said.

    How about the Jews who provably kept tabs on what bin Laden was up to [What? When?] and at least looked on benevolently? [Specifically on the attacks on the World Trade Center? Or on the Russians in Afghanistan?] / Would they be members of the terrorist cell as well?

    Since I don’t circulate in brown stain circles I have no real idea what you are talking about. Is this part of the “the jews were behind 9/11” lunacy?

    What this has to do with Corvinus’ denial that the Secret Seven were a akin to a jihadist terrorist cell I cannot imagine.

    I count Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber as DEIs.

    You inability to understand Sailer (as when you insisted his comment about brown-stains was really about Amherst) is indeed quite remarkable. A “DEI” as he’s using it here is a member of a group which gets special positive treatment from the DEI claque and a “non-DEI” is a member only of groups which don’t. As Sailer notes Jews are underrepresented on the Board of Harvard Corporation relative to what one would expect on the basis of their financial contributions to Harvard, etc., and he suggests this is “due to DEI demands”. Are you fantasizing that the underrepresentation of Jews in this fashion is due to demands by Pritzker, Bacow, and Garber? If not then counting them as “DEIs” can’t possibly accord with Sailer’s usage. Are you just too dumb to grasp this? Again?

    You inability to understand Sailer

    You inability to write good talk.

    Ahem. Let’s review what Steve wrote. After enumerating the demographic makeup of the Corporation, here’s Steve’s assessment:

    On the other hand, a large fraction of big donors to Harvard, like Bill Ackman, are Jewish, but they aren’t well represented due to DEI demands.

    What it looks like is there is a war going on between Jewish non-DEIs vs. DEIs, but nobody can quite articulate it.

    Unfortunately Steve was inarticulate himself (though humbly so, he apparently includes himself in the last clause). Does “Jewish” modify both “non-DEIs vs. DEIs” (i.e. are both of groups Jews at “war” with each other) or does Jewish only describe the first category (“non-DEIs”)?

    I read it as the former, Steve means both parties are Jewish, and here’s why:

    I assume, based on what I’ve linked to here of Bacow, Garber, and Pritzker’s effusive praise of Gay as they promoted her to Dean of FAS and then as President of Harvard, that Steve is calling B,G,P “Jewish DEIs”, which would make sense. E.g,. Penny Pritzker as Corporation head is a hard-core “DEI” having personally accelerated and truncated the vetting process while shepherding Gay to be picked as President.

    More DEIs: past presidents of Harvard

    https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2023/12/harvard-corporation-statement-claudine-gay

    Updated December 13, 2023, 8:42 a.m.: Five former Harvard Presidents—Lawrence S. Bacow, Derek Bok, Drew Gilpin Faust, Neil L. Rudenstine, and Lawrence H. Summers—have issued a statement of support for President Claudine Gay. The statement reads: 

    As former Presidents of Harvard University, we offer our strong support for Claudine Gay as she leads Harvard into the future. We look forward to supporting President Gay in whatever ways we can as Harvard faces this challenging moment for higher education and the wider world.

    Lawrence S. Bacow — Jew

    Derek Bok — non-Jew

    Drew Gilpin Faust — married to a Jew

    Neil L. Rudenstine — Jew

    Lawrence H. Summers — Jew

    Steve errs in calling the other side “Jewish non-DEIs” because those Jewish big donors were only “non-DEI” after October 7th. Those big donors (Ackman, Blavatnik, Ofer, Wexner, etc.) only stopped supporting DEI Harvard when it suddenly became clear that Jews at Harvard (and other campuses) were not now protected under the DEI aegis.

    In short, the “war going on” at Harvard is between Jewish DEIs who want a robust anti-White DEI golem even if there is Jewish and Israeli-interest collateral damage, and Jewish post-10/7s who want the DEI golem explicitly reprogrammed to not target Jews and anything Israel.

    As I articulated earlier,

    Golem-wrangling can be tricky.

    No, you both ignored them until I forced you (not Jack, he’s long since bowed out) to acknowledge them. You’ve yet to acknowledge the key executive positions of the first two, which allowed them to promote and appoint Gay to Dean of FAS and later President of Harvard. They as top executives had final say, and they were quite enthusiastic in their support of her, as I’ve shown. You cravenly have ignored her appointment to Dean of FAS. Bacow, as then-president, had sole discretion and was backed by then-Provost Garber, his executive second in command. Appointing her to to Dean of FAS which was crucial positioning for her to be chosen as President.

    In short, your deflections are classic transparent hasbara and you’re schvitzing big time.

    Keep it coming Prancer, you’re the perfect stereotypical foil. The funny thing is, you’re so emotionally invested in your fake argument that you’re willing to get whomped by me on the record just so you can compulsively emote on iSteve. Oy.

    Maybe he’s dead? I’ve closely known two people with LinkedIn profiles who died and their pages were deleted (or suppressed) in a day. I wondered how they could do that so quickly. By the way they both had names that were not unique so it’s even more surprising.

  585. @JimDandy

    There are plenty of articles “here” claiming all sorts of stupid things, but how that is supposed to excuse you for pretending that you don’t know what the subject is I cannot fathom. You are an idiot.

    You are just being stupid again, which I guess it is difficult to avoid since you are determinedly stupid at all times. Since Sailer didn’t call anyone — not Ackman, Blavatnik, Ofer, Wexner, or anyone else — a “Jewish non-DEI” he certainly didn’t err in doing so.
