Gore Vidal and Kennan are now ‘racist’ or ‘antisemitic’ too.

Is Cheney a neocon or just neocon-approved?

Bush and his secretary of state James Baker tried to restrain Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, which led to a collapse in Jewish support in 1992.

“Loan Guarantees” are indeed the quickest way toward a full understanding of why Bush Père‎ was quickly made persona non grata to the (actual) ruling class in this country. Who did he think he was that he could so nonchalantly touch the third rail?

There was this, but it was way too late by then:

their prejudice and insularity

Foer seems really hung up on the “insularity” of others. I wonder why that is? Psychologists have a name for this sort of behavior, and it’s right on the tip of my tongue . . .

Awesome, so they’ll all be pulling stakes and heading home soon? A plan with no drawbacks!

Paris is in flames as globohomo darling Macron faces nationalist pushback (I never heard of snipers being used on diversity), while local police and fire forces turn their back on him.

Guess civil war in the West is one of those fainting couch topics too dangerous for this blog.

Foer:

The sociologist who coined the term WASP was a professor from the University of Pennsylvania with the perfect name, E. Digby Baltzell.

He may have ‘popularized’ it, but he didn’t invent it.

Is Steven Goldstein not the most shameless, sleazy shakedown blowhard there ever was. What a total slimeball. The thing with Franklin Foer & the Democrat Left (Susan Estrich types) is that they’ve been simmering with a lust for revenge for decades & GHWB was a symbol of the 1950s American they wanted to smash. This little gem paragraph from the 1988 Democratic Party platform was an omen of Kennedy’s 1990 Immigration Act, and where they were skewing to then. It was around this time that Jesse Jackson began his “Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go…”

WE BELIEVE that we honor our multicultural heritage by assuring equal access to government services, employment, housing, business enterprise and education to every citizen regardless of race, sex, national origin, religion, age, handicapping condition or sexual orientation; that these rights are without exception too precious to be jeopardized by Federal Judges and Justice Department officials chosen during the past years—by a political party increasingly monolithic both racially and culturally—more for their unenlightened ideological views than for their respect for the rule of law. We further believe that we must work for the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution; that the fundamental right of reproductive choice should be guaranteed regardless of ability to pay; that our machinery for civil rights enforcement and legal services to the poor should be rebuilt and vigorously utilized; and that our immigration policy should be reformed to promote fairness, non-discrimination and family reunification and to reflect our constitutional freedoms of speech, association and travel. We further believe that the voting rights of all minorities should be protected, the recent surge in hate violence and negative stereotyping combatted, the discriminatory English-only pressure groups resisted, our treaty commitments with Native Americans enforced by culturally sensitive officials, and the lingering effects of past discrimination eliminated by affirmative action, including goals, timetables, and procurement set-asides.

Lets not forget that GHW Bush semi-neutered Saddam which was beneficial to Israel.
The ironic part was that as bad for the Jews that GHW Bush allegedly was….. Bill Clinton was at least 5x worse with his forced farce of Oslo accords. Where at the end Arafat ran away from a good deal and land give back.

OT – Guardian UK, the attack on whites never stops

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/series/bias-in-britain

“A survey for the Guardian of 1,000 people from minority ethnic backgrounds found they were consistently more likely to have faced negative everyday experiences – all frequently associated with racism – than white people in a comparison poll.

The survey found that 43% of those from a minority ethnic background had been overlooked for a work promotion in a way that felt unfair in the last five years – more than twice the proportion of white people (18%) who reported the same experience.

The results show that ethnic minorities are three times as likely to have been thrown out of or denied entrance to a restaurant, bar or club in the last five years, and that more than two-thirds believe Britain has a problem with racism.”

I think the latter. He lobbied against the Iraq sanctions in the 1990s, but switched gears when he entered politics. He merely recognized who had the power.

In a piddling few decades, the world’s most powerful, influential cultural establishment happened to get demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. What had been basically a Christian, patriotic, family-loving, politically moderate part of society became contemptuous of biblical religion, of patriotism, of the family, of American greatness. The American cultural elite used to resemble (more or less) the rest of America. Today it disdains the rest of America.

–David Gelernter

I’m confused about what is wrong with being “anti” the group whose foundational religious text is unarguably a manual for mercilessly dispossessing and destroying every nation around them.

It is clear in the biblical text and their modern behavior that they do not take this text as mere history limited in time and place to the Near East, but as a current mandate that extends wherever they exist. The books of their Tanakh support my assertions.

They even keep the “Palesitinians”, a word which is etymologically synonymous with “Philistine”, in the same exact geographical borders as the biblical Philistine: proving that the Israeli-Palestine issue and policy goes far beyond an unintended unfortunate circumstance.

Their captivity is ritualistic in nature, which means that there likely will be no purposeful result for the Palestinians other than that which is told in the Bible for the Philistines.

They are acting out a biblical play in Israel and beyond, for the purpose of ritually bringing their myth of their biblical campaign against the nations into the modern day.

Look for biblical parallels in their modern (ritual) behavior, both in the past few centuries and going forward. To identify these actions it will help to identify which tribes they associate with biblical tribes.

See Mircea Eliade’s sacred time vs profane time. The belief is that ritual behavior and symbolism brings a transcendence of linear time (profane time) to transport the participants to an eternal cyclical reality (sacred time) that is normally preserved in myth. In this way, the participants are always living as eternal mythical beings. Second, they believe that their behavior will assure the promised results of the myths.

Their seven thousand year cycle (which implies repetition), in which they do not work in the last thousand years of it and that is reflected in the week and their rest day on their Sabbath, is one fundamental indication of their belief in cyclical time and it predicts the core cultural and political practices that would align with that belief.

Springsteen says the Left have no credible candidates to oppose Trump:

When he entered politics? Cheney was Ford’s chief of staff in 1975. He’d also been been Bush 41’s defense secretary.

What goes unstated, however, is the subtext of that yearning. All the florid remembrances are packed with fondness for a bygone institution known as the Establishment, hardened in the cold of New England boarding schools, acculturated by the late-night rituals of Skull and Bones, sent off to the world with a sense of noblesse oblige.

I’m rather shocked that there’s no mention of elite WASP country clubs…..

All in all, a quite tedious article. Remove the rhetorical posturing, and it basically comes down to Jews not being able to get over the fact that Protestant Anglo-Saxons created America…..

Re-entered it in 2000.

OT

The racist hoaxer at Goucher College, Fynn Ajani Arthur, reported to be black or biracial (but who looks Sicilian) has confessed in court.

And yet, the black activists at the College are acting like it wasn’t a hoax and haven’t retracted their WE DEMANDS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=121&v=5BTz8lN940Q

I just wish the news media interviewing the black protestors would pin them down on this. I’m sure they have some incoherent excuse for continuing to protest, but make them articulate it, on camera, to be enshrined on YouTube for eternity. “The event that provoked all this was a hoax, by a black student, and he confessed and has been arrested. Given that, why are you still protesting and not studying for finals?” “Had the event not happened at all, would you still be protesting and issuing manifestos during finals week?”

There’s been French protests, strikes and riots all my life. In England people roll their eyes whenever a new one breaks out. Is this any different other than that the participants are braving the cold? I genuinely don’t know.

But George H. W. Bush came from an elite cluster; Harvard President Charles W. Eliot described them as the “superior families.” Bush’s ancestors did business with Rockefellers and Harrimans. In places like Newport and Kennebunkport, these families existed in an inbred world that for many decades self-consciously segregated itself by race, religion, and class.

You know, Foer old pal, there’s a population that’s pretty famous for self-consciously segregating itself….Heck, you might even say that they made a religion out of it……

while George P. Bush was intended to reverse the process and be the nature leader of the newly imported Mexican-American voters.

So if in the early 1970s a young Jeb Bush decides to do the logical thing, and marry a tall, blonde Scandinavian from Minnesota instead a short Mexican, does Alternate Universe United States 2018 have 20 million Hispanics instead of 50 million Hispanics? Or was it, for the Bush family, just more about pleasing the business lobby?

“Undoing affirmative action” is racialising politics? What a cretin.

Arafat did what any sensible gentile did when offered a ‘good deal’ by Jewish opponent, ran a mile. Claiming Arafat was ever offered a good deal over Oslo is always a hasbara talking point, Rabin would have offered a fair deal, he got assassinated.

Something I found the other day that deserves recording:

Gore Vidal used the term “Israel Firsters” in spring 1988 (coincidentally, just as the nominal subject of this post, GHWBush, was getting his presidential campaign underway). Vidal’s 1988 use of the term is the earliest I had ever seen.

Gore Vidal, March 14, 1988:

[7:35]
I was also attacked by the not-so-simple Israel Lobby, which never ceases to demonize the Soviet Union in order to make sure that half the federal revenue goes to defense, out of which the State of Israel, the lobby’s sole preoccupation, is financed.

I was promptly attacked by that small group of Israel Firsters who call themselves neoconservatives. [Pause] Hi, Leon. [Audience Laughter] I hated my country, they said, because I had criticized that national security state in which, like a prison, we have all been obliged to live and go broke for 40 years. I responded to my critics with characteristic sweetness [Laughter], and turned the other fist, as is my wont. [Laughter, applause].

(from a speech to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee)

Even if it was independently recoined many times (plausible), this can only be considered an early use and as such is notable.

My impression is that the term “Israel Firster” came to prominence only in the 2000s on the margins of the right-wing dissident Internet, including the Anti-War movement (Justin Raimondo). If you google around (or DuckDuckGo around) for the term, you’ll see a lot of hits in the early 2010s, at which time a spate of media denunciations of the term “Israel Firsters” erupted from…Israel Firsters.

Looking around Google-Ngram for the term “Israel Firsters” from the pre-Internet era, you’ll see a few straggler early ‘hits’ from Willis Carto publications in the 1960s and 1970s, but nothing like the widespread use the phrase picked up in the 2000s. There is also a 1981 ADL bulletin condemning The Spotlight for using this and other terms it calls anti-Semitic. This ADL denunciation is alluded to here (Critical Reaction section). The earliest use of the term (including the “-ers”) that I could find on the I-Steve blog is by Svigor in August 2007.

In a comment to the post “Is there anything left to be said about Iraq?” (isteve.blogspot.com, Aug. 10, 2007), Svigor wrote in part:

“A combination of interests — Israel-firsters, Defense, Imperialists — set us to war, for different reasons. The Israel-firsters seemed to be the active ingredient”

This article makes me really like George HW Bush. It seems practically hagiographic on his personal qualities and identity. Indeed, the main thrust of the criticism is that his politics betrayed his essence. This is the opposite of how this blog post frames the article. The framing instead seems to be the boring strawman based on Jews being secretly motivated by ethnic animus (or at best defensiveness) when the writer is clearly motivated to criticise GHWB for his politics despite what might be his (to the writer) highly admirable ethnic and cultural identity.

What’s funny is that by misreading the article as an inverse of what it is, the iSteve reader leaves throroughly besotted with GHWB’s persona. After all, if the article is critical of this yet he comes across so incredibly well, he must have been amazing! Of course, Foer could have written his GHWB’s persona any way he pleased and he did – as one to be admired, missed and (annoyingly) hopefully combined with 2018 progressive politics.

How can anyone miss that Foer is criticising GHWB for his politics and not his persona?

I hit agree before I actually read the article rather than only the selected quotes and framing on this blog post. I take it back entirely. I think this is a stting mis-reading of Foer’s writing. Instead, he admires GHWB’s persona but detests his politics.

This short article explains quite a lot! – (Might well make it into the new book, I’d wish).

I wonder if Ted Kaczynski regrets blowing up David Gelernter. Of all of his targets, he seems like the one that Ted could have interesting conversations with. Imagine if they are pen pals now.

The one good thing about the coming browning of America will be that (maybe?) it will no longer be out of bounds to criticize jewish behavior. They’ve always been in media, but from, like, the past two decades or so, it’s really been ramping up to everymore ridiculous heights.

I remember reading something Derb wrote about asking Poderhertz about jewish hostility towards christians. He said that Pod ignored the question and went on to something else.

Running Bruce with either Madonna or Blondie for VP is probably the Dem’s best shot.

I haven’t seen any mention of how the Bush Dynasty began preparing George P. Bush, Poppy’s “Little Brown One,” to carry on the dynasty in the new mestizo America

What is George P. up to these days, anyway?

28th Land Commissioner of Texas
Incumbent
Assumed office January 2, 2015

Boh-ring.

As for his likely-to-be-inferred racial status: I don’t know what George P.’s 23andMe would show in terms of European vs. Amerindian and all, but I’ll say this: He looks today, in his early 40s (b. 1976), a lot like Jeb with a very dark tan, in many pics something like a Sicilian Jeb. IOW, his Amerindian ancestry via mother Co-LOOM-bah does not jump out at all, unless one is looking for it. But George P. Bush at age 12, leading the 1988 Republican Convention “Pledge of Allegiance” (pic easy to find online): Wow, now that boy looks really Mestizo.

In 1907, he wrote about the worrying presence of immigrants; in particular, he described a “furtive Yacoob or Ysaac still reeking of the ghetto.”

Maybe from now on we should refer to Franklin Foer as ‘Furtive Franklin’.

Those ain’t nationalists.

It looks to me like the trigger was more the election of the Right in Italy, and the French noticed the Italian government didn’t become instant Mussolini. Instead, the new government started securing their borders, but they still support having the typical EU-style welfare state for native Italians.

The notion that you can be a right-wing socialist was probably a massive surprise and a revelation to the French, who have suddenly realized yes, it is possible to have it all. They can have all the benefits and none of the illegals, and not turn into Hitler and become fascist, which is a paranoid fear they have had drummed into them all their lives by leftist teachers.

The French now want Macron out and the trouble-making third-worlders gone.

Perhaps Jewish-American intellectual elite types get triggered by the old WASP power elite types like Bush Senior a bit like Jada Pinkett-Smith gets triggered by straight haired blondes.

One thing that made WASPs so successful at subverting and conquering places like Texas, California, and Hawaii was their canny use of intermarriage: they’d hop off a ship from Boston or New York, like the sunshine and find an indigenous landowner’s daughter to marry.

I understand several intrepid German immigrants in the 19th century did much the same.

For instance, the singer Linda Ronstadt’s great-grandfather, Friedrich August Ronstadt, apparently followed that playbook very successfully in Arizona. He immigrated from Germany, married a Mexican woman, and founded a family prominent in Arizona’s life.

Land commissioner and being on the railroad commission are traditional stepping stones for either lt. governor or governor’s offices.

Right now, if I had to bet for or against, I’d bet for. The dem’s simply have no minor leaguers to bring up to the majors right now. (Beto was an aberration. White liberals love other white liberals who champion for minority causes.)

Maybe the new elites should try a little noblesse oblige?

Haven’t most elites been exploiters?

As far as the old Establishment, were they really noble? They had incredible contempt for White people outside of New England.

Have to be a Jew to be a neocon. It’s a Jewish movement.

For instance, the singer Linda Ronstadt’s great-grandfather, Friedrich August Ronstadt, apparently followed that playbook very successfully in Arizona. He immigrated from Germany, married a Mexican woman, and founded a family prominent in Arizona’s life.

Come on, this Mexican woman that Friedrich August married was an exotic attractant due to her Spanish culture. She was very white. You can see you see the result in Linda Ronstadt who is so white she is a butter face/

Israel-onlier. Do they really have a second allegiance?

Cheney isn’t a neocon, because neoconservatism is a Jewish movement and neoconservatism is a Jewish movement because all neocons are Jews.

Amirite?

One can hope, but why would they vandalize French national monuments?

I suspect it is a very ideologically diverse group and if it somehow does blossom/rot into something big, we won’t find out the direction until it culminates. A bit like how I think Iran in 1979 unfolded.

Nobler.

There hasn’t been rioting in Paris this bad for at least ten years!

Gore Vidal used the term “Israel Firsters” in spring 1988

He got up their noses far earlier than that.

As early as the late 1949s GV was noting the publishing world allowed an “OK Goy” to publish hither and yon but the publishing game was UU entirely by then. Giants of the late 30s such as Charles Beard and John T. Flynn were totally scrubbed from the Kosher Club by then.

When Norman Podhoretz responded to Vidal in a Commentary cover story called “The Hate that Dare Not Speak its Name”, Gore was his prime suspect. Other Southern writers were cited for being know-nothings, but GV was the prime target: The man had stated that Commentary and other Jewish publications were doing nothing more than carrying water for Israel. Norman P and his wife Midge were furious and their attack was… the usual.

It is kind of interesting to observe how the Jewish American elite today contrasts to Bush family WASPs in terms of noblesse oblige.

The elite Jewish families seem to use their money to buy noblesse oblige in ways that satisfies their vanity and enhances their power. They donate large sums to universities, non-profits and campaigns. The press covers these acts as generous philanthropy. Yet they don’t actually do the self-sacrifice or lead by example thing. Few serve in the military for example.

GHWB, when head of the CIA, would come into our city and go out on the boats with Customs agents, one of whom was a relative of mine. This relative (a yellow-dog Dem, by the way) told me that the men absolutely loved him.

He had tremendous charm. Does anyone here remember him sitting next to a very young child in a classroom, talking to him, when the boy suddenly interrupted him by asking, “Are you really the President?” Bush replied, “Yes, I am. Would you like to see my American Express card?” (which he pulled out of his wallet and showed the boy)?

They donate large sums to universities, non-profits and campaigns. The press covers these acts as generous philanthropy. Yet they don’t actually do the self-sacrifice or lead by example thing. Few serve in the military for example.

The progressives would say that avoiding the military is good and that they express their social conscience through Teach America, NGOs, activism and similar. Just as contemporary men express their fashion sense by whatever it is that is fashionable now rather than ruffs, stockings and codpieces.

To which there are two replies. First, that activism is superficial or self-interested. Second, that those are poor replacements for traditional elite virtues.

The first can be discounted because there is always an element of superficiality in these things.

The second is more interesting but also much more complex and requires real thought.

GV was a total bastard from the Podhoretz’a point of view.

As editor of Commentary, Norman P crafted a Vidal hit-piece called “The Hate that Dare Not Speak it’s Name”; smearing GV as an antisemite but Vidal only mentioned the Israel Fifth Column, not Jews as such.

Funnier was Vidal’s comments, strewn through his works, about Jewish Power in Hollywood when he was out there. Paddy Chayefsky, of Network fame, treated Gore so rotten that Vidal asked William Wyler what the point of it was.

Wyler told Gore, “Paddy thinks movies are an all-Jewish game, and you ain’t no Jew!” That was in the 1950s. The fix has been in longer than the sheep think.

Vidal is only remembered by the Right as a pervert now, too bad. Jackie Onassis noted that Vidal’s nemesis Bill Buckley was a fag too. How soon we forget!

In contrast, the neocons loved George W. Bush because he was a bumpkin state governor who didn’t know anything about the rest of the world and was willing to rely upon the neocons and neocon approved figures like Dick Cheney.

This is why it’s important to always have some blacks at the highest level of foreign policy. They aren’t neocons or neocon approved. They are selected for diversity. The intention in picking them is bringing racial diversity but it ends up also bringing an outside perspective apart from the swamp. Powell, Rice, and Obama slowed down or stopped war with Iraq, Russia, and Iran respectively.

Jews not being able to get over the fact that Protestant Anglo-Saxons created America…

It goes way beyond that… the Jewish establishment know they suffer by comparison. If the new Jewish elite were held up to WASP standards they would actually be serving in the wars the created rather than sending rural white guys that they hate,

There is also just plain old jealousy that manifests itself as hatred- what do you think someone jewish with views like this thinks when they see a good looking north european looking couple with a say, three tow head kids?

I grew up in NYC and many Jewish friends, even ones not as (at least on the surface) are as blunt as the Atlantic, get visibly ansy when they visit a white-town like one finds in rural New England or the Midwest. Almost every jewish pundit (particularly the women ) take a jab at the ‘beautiful blond cheerleader’ they couldn’t ask out or all the guys wanted to ask out in high school.

Funny though the new bar of anti-semitism is not just not supporting but not funding illegal Israeli settlements.

I haven’t seen any mention of how the Bush Dynasty began preparing George P. Bush, Poppy’s “Little Brown One,” to carry on the dynasty in the new mestizo America they were helping forge. As far back as the 1988 convention, 10-year-old George P. led the Pledge of Allegiance.

You know, if this keeps up, they should start referring to the Bushes as la familia Bushoacana.

Neoconservatism is a Jewish movement, because it serves exclusively the interests of the Jews. There is no reason why a white guy like Cheney should be concerned with prosperity and security of Israel for example.

Cheney is best described as opportunistic shabbos-goy, trying to advance his career in a Jew-dominated environment.

Linda Ronstadt is elderly and has Parkinson’s disease. She was known both for her talent and her looks at the start of her career and later, at the height of her fame.

The progressives would say that avoiding the military is good and that they express their social conscience through Teach America, NGOs, activism and similar.

Yeah, but modern-day progs (unlike, say, the New Leftists of the 60s) also think that bombing/attacking foreign countries for ‘human rights’ is a marvelous idea … so long as somebody else’s kids do that bombing and attacking.

Once upon a time, we had a ruling élite that was different. When Abraham Lincoln, for example, said that “our union must be preserved,” he offered up all four of sons as sacrifice. (Jeff Davis did the same for his cause.) Hell, as late as WW2, Franklin Roosevelt at least felt compelled to offer up a sacrificial nephew. But he was the last.

As Jackie Treehorn would say, “Standards have fallen through the years.”

This talk of elites in the Old America as “inbred” obfuscates just how much careers were open to talents and how big the pool was that talent was drawn from. Foer, the co-editor of Jewish Jocks, is projecting a tad about how inbred GHW Bush was, as a look at the novels by his younger brother Jonathan Safran Foer about their ancestors might suggest.

In the summer of 2016 in the New England of his worst nightmares, Jonathan Safran Foer had the apparently grave misfortune of having dinner with my wife and me and two other couples at the country house of some friends.

This was in Litchfield County, Connecticut, and although there was a certain amount of actual WASP at that table, I supposed at the time that it was the utter un-Jewishness of the scene that turned him into one of the most unpleasant dinner guests I’ve ever encountered. As it happens, all of the other people present that evening were just reminiscing about what a tremendous dick he was over this past Thanksgiving weekend: everyone had bent over backward to make this guy whose kid was a classmate of one of the hosts’ children feel at home, all of which was rewarded with something just shy of open hostility on his part.

I later learned that he had just been excoriated by the critics for his newly published book Here I Am, so maybe that had something to do with his manner. But I still think it must have had more to do with his manufactured sense that he was surrounded by uncultured country-club types who were trying to figure out how to kill and eat him. It was a remarkable experience.

At this point the only thing that can save France is fascism.

LOL, Syon.

Speaking of Dick Cheney, there’s a movie coming out called “Vice” (I believe) with Christian Bale playing Cheney and Steve Carell as Rumsfeld. Looks like it’s going to be a perfectly honest piece of storytelling.

Who cares? Without liberal Jews and leftist race traitors fronting endlessly for you – even while you openly despise them – all you’d have left to your names, once the curtain finally gets pulled, would be loan defaults and Liberia.

Not that I’d hold your snatching the carrot right off the stick against you. Your “white” benefactors – the true villains here – I’d sentence to prison, far from any of the usual country-clubs they routinely end up in the few times they’re put behind bars; the black chappies would merely be “sentenced” to the free-money spigot on the Taxpayer Faucet being turned off and soldered shut.

I agree. We’ve seen everything from yellow shirt protests in Bangkok, to red shirt ones in Istanbul to OWS in New York that all petered out after a couple of weeks or so.

I expect (unfortunately) the same to happen in Paris.

“Bush and James Baker were urbane, worldly Texas oilmen ”

Waill, Baker was a jen yoo aahn Texan, pardner–notwithstanding his Northeast elite schooling. Bush on the other hand was an interloper (carpetbagger?) from Congregational New England , what Nixon advisor and author Kevin Phillips would call a “white shoes” Republican as opposed to a cloth coat, rotary club Republican. GHW came to Texas to make his fortune. And in that he succeeded- with a little help from Poppa Prescott and the Brown-Harriman, Wall Street crowd of course. The rest, as they say, is history.

Baby he was Born to Run….

The notion that you can be a right-wing socialist was probably a massive surprise and a revelation to the French, who have suddenly realized yes, it is possible to have it all.

Good insight. Applies to the rest of the world.

Jews like him despised GHW Bush for not being pro-Israel enough

Trump is the most pro-Israel President in history. So you’d think the Jews would be eating him up like a bagel. Right? RIGHT?

Most Jews see Steve Sailer as an anti-semite. Most Jews are correct.

He’s director of a center for “Mutual Respect”. LOL

Macron is using snipers against protesters and has supposedly threatened to deport the French and replace them with Africans. I fully expect that. You din mess with a power bottom. Half of the French military and police are Muslim or African.

“In a way that felt unfair”

“Thrown out of a restaurant”

Such is social “science” in the CY.

I just know that these “scientists” have ample evidence of minorities being thrown out of restaurants when all they were doing is trying to eat their dinner in peace. Happens all the time…

our immigration policy should be reformed to promote…

…promote destruction of what came before. I wonder if Goldstein et al ever reflect that after they extinguish the WASPs, that space gets backfilled by less pliant Middle Easteners; Africans; Asians; Meso-Americans; etc.

“We didn’t want to save the village; we just wanted to burn it”.

One thing I cannot forgive is anti-Semitism!
Where should we put the anti-Semitism? Over here? Under the couch? Kitchen drawer? No,because there is no place for anti-Semitism in this country!

Didn’t follow the link but without New Orleans on the list it’s hard to take seriously.

A survey for the Guardian of 1,000 people from minority ethnic backgrounds found they were consistently more likely to have faced negative everyday experiences – all frequently associated with racism – than white people in a comparison poll.

Did they compare experiences in places such as Pakistan?

Those generous Jewish and other donors save about $400,000 in taxes for every $100,000 they donate to all those bogus NGOs.

The best tax reform would to totally eliminate the charity tax deductions. Then the rich would pay their share of taxes to the government and taxes would lower over all

The greatest benefit is that those multi million dollar leftists busybody NGOs wouldn’t be promoting gays trans genders causing wildfires by preventing brush and dead tree clearing forcing welfare departments to give full welfare benefits to illegal aliens and the rest of the damage done by NGOs

The school desegregation school bussing and affirmative action lawsuits were all funded by AJC, ADL and Jewish legal foundation NGOs funded by rich Jews.
Such a deal, avoid taxes and use the money to destroy the hetero White goyim.

Close down the colleges and universities as well. Establish trade schools for drs nurses engineers and other scientific occupations.

Abolish all NGOs and tax deductible charitable donations. Make the rich pay taxes to government instead of supporting hundreds of thousands of useless , anti White destructive NGOs

Vidal’s loathing of Jews was quite explicit. Vidal’s defenders get confused because he made an exception for Howard Auster.

Barack Obama and George P. Bush are variations on this theme: Obama’s mom saw herself as a female version expanding America’s Cold War soft empire by marrying foreign elites, while George P. Bush was intended to reverse the process and be the nature leader of the newly imported Mexican-American voters.

Oh, rubbish. She married one guy who knocked her up and another guy who was available and willing to put up with her and her kid. While we’re at it, Lolo Soetero was a salaried technician employed by the state oil company. He had a good formal sector job. That put you way ahead in the game in Indonesia. It didn’t make you part of the elite.

Did we read the same article? Foer basically trashes GHWB’s ethnic and cultural identity, mocking it for not being able to save itself while not embracing the Civil Rights movement and other current trends.

I think the proper response to such situations is to quietly take the person aside and explain that it is time for them to leave. I wanted to do this once, but didn’t, and regretted later having failed to do so.

Inviting someone into your home is a gesture of sorts, a kind of civility, and if the guest fails to respond in kind, then I think its best to invite them to go. Plus, the ingrate in question might later write an article about the trauma of this rejection, which would be great fun to read out load to those who had attended the original gathering.

With the prestige of the Desert Storm victory, Bush and his secretary of state James Baker tried to restrain Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, which led to a collapse in Jewish support in 1992.

“Collapse”? The best public opinion surveyors have been able to determine, Jewish voters cast between 20% and 40% of their ballots for Republican presidential candidates, with the best performers being Richard Nixon (programmatic temporizers running against an honest but fatuous man) and Ronald Reagan in 1980 (running against an evangelical). ‘Collapse’ would men the candidate garners 20% instead of the usual 25%.

The neocons hated the Arabists — the descendants of Protestant missionary families who had founded the American colleges in Beirut and Cairo — and feared globetrotting Texas oilmen because both had access to independent perspectives and expertise on the Middle East and didn’t need to be dependent upon the neocons for advice. Bush and James Baker were urbane, worldly Texas oilmen who seemed to combine the worst of the Arabists and the Texans to the neocons.

Have you ever looked at an issue of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs? It was founded by people like Talcott Seelye. Before you begin bandying about terms like ‘hate’ in reference to Jeane Kirkpatrick, you might have a look at what these ‘Arabists’ you’re talking about are actually peddling.

In contrast, the neocons loved George W. Bush because he was a bumpkin state governor who didn’t know anything about the rest of the world and was willing to rely upon the neocons and neocon approved figures like Dick Cheney.With the prestige of the Desert Storm victory, Bush and his secretary of state James Baker tried to restrain Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, which led to a collapse in Jewish support in 1992.

It’s highly unlikely someone as sophisticated as Midge Decter would regard an Ivy League product like George W. Bush as a ‘bumpkin’, or regard a state which envelops two of the most affluent urban globs in the occidental world as a ‘bumpkin state’.

This talk of elites in the Old America as “inbred” obfuscates just how much careers were open to talents and how big the pool was that talent was drawn from. Foer, the co-editor of Jewish Jocks, is projecting a tad about how inbred GHW Bush was, as a look at the novels by his younger brother Jonathan Safran Foer about their ancestors might suggest.

Uhhh, yeaahhh. Jews are way more inbred than Anglo-Saxons. Lots of uncle-niece marriage in that ethnic tree. Anyone who does a lot of Jewdar work (say, with image searches) knows this on some level, because Jewish faces are obviously dealt from a pretty small deck, relatively speaking. Then there are all the Jewish genetic disorders.

But don’t take my word for it: Jews consanguinity.

LOL, top hit:

CONSANGUINITY AMONG JEWS: Tweet. Owing to their dispersion among populations professing creed different from their own, Jews have married ear relatives more frequently than the rest of the world. The marriage of first cousins and even of uncle and niece is quite legal and usual among them (see Marriage).
CONSANGUINITY AMONG JEWS – JewishEncyclopedia.com
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/4611-consanguinity-among-jews

I love it when Jews call anyone inbred, it's always good for a laugh.

I call bullshit – thinking of Texas as a bumpkin state is only slightly less Jewish than a yarmulke.

For the gallery: speaking of Jewish, run a go ogle search for “dreidel” and watch what happens. Where do Christians get a snazzy setup like that, Mr Brin? Too big a share of the world population for the special treatment? This from the crew that won’t lift a pinky to customize its search for Christmas or Easter (too busy with some imaginary black inventor’s birthday, or the like).

Arafat is a “gentile” – He’s got bowling league on Thursday nights and his wife make a great hotdish casserole.

“Obama’s mom saw herself as a female version expanding America’s Cold War soft empire by marrying foreign elites . . .”

Sure, the Dunhams saw themselves part of the Wasp post-WWII establishment, CIA connected and filled with patriotic fervor to sacrifice themselves in the interest of expanding Western exploitation of the third world. Part of the “Wise Men” world-view, don’t you know. Regular Bundys and Kennans and Dulleses.

Why does Sailer persist in this one? Ann Dunham was an erratic weirdo, whose non-white fetishes made even Obama uncomfortable. Myself, I think the fetish was all that was left to her after Obama Sr. ripped her open when she was 17. I’m sure that connection enamored her with all the white men with half a brain cell in the early 60s.

Can Sailer move past this notion that there’s something in Obama’s family background? There’s nothing there, but the sordid and hapless. I’m happy to talk about the sordid and hapless, but let’s not ennoble the thing.

Odd how such a progressive race has instituted mandatory military service in its own ethnic homeland, without controversy.

I haven’t seen any mention of how the Bush Dynasty began preparing George P. Bush, Poppy’s “Little Brown One,” to carry on the dynasty in the new mestizo America they were helping forge. As far back as the 1988 convention, 10-year-old George P. led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Maybe the old story of “From Riches to Rags in three generations” applies … or “From smart to stupid in three generations!”

One can hope, but why would they vandalize French national monuments?

How do you know it was the yellow vests doing that? I’ve seen photos of them guarding what appears to be the flame of the tomb of unknown soldier. Why would they be guarding some monuments and destroying others?

George W. Bush as a ‘bumpkin’

“This guy was a tabula rasa…” “He was an empty vessel.” He was so ripe for the plucking.” [ attributed to Richard Perle and anonymous at State Dept.]

the hardliners and neoconservatives surrounding Bush (see December 1998 – Fall 1999) are working quietly to push their favored candidate much farther to the right, especially in foreign affairs, than anyone suspects. Two of the Bush campaign’s most prominent advisers, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, are making regular and secret visits to the governor’s mansion. “They were brought in and out under very tight security,” a source in the governor’s office will later recall. “They snuck in and snuck out. They didn’t hold press conferences. [Bush political adviser Karl] Rove didn’t want people to know what they were doing or what they were saying.”

Bush is Willing to be Educated – Perle, like many other neoconservatives, is pleased that the younger Bush may well not be a repeat of the moderate policy stances of the father. “The first time I met [George W. Bush]… two things became clear,” Perle will recall in 2004. “One, he didn’t know very much. The other was that he had the confidence to ask questions that revealed he didn’t know very much.” [SLATE, 5/7/2004] Perle will continue: “Most people are reluctant to say when they don’t know something—a word or a term they haven’t heard before. Not him.”

Adams really was anti-Semitic (and Vidal too for that matter) and the State Dept. Arabists really didn’t like Jews much either, so I don’t know what your point is. Sometimes paranoids really do have enemies.

One thing public school people don’t realize about the elite and ordinary private schools is how open they were and still are to middle class and poor kids with high intelligence.

It has been so for centuries based on the ancient medieval catholic clergy education system of looking for middle class and poor boys of brains and talent. The idea was to continuously replenish the clergy with new brains and talent. Or as Lyndon Johnson put it, bring them into the tent to piss out instead of leaving them outside pissing in.

For instance Thomas a Beckett Archbishop of Canterbury, Martin Luther, and Henry 8’s Cardinal Wolsey were all lower middle class boys admitted to church schools and seminaries because of brains and talent not because they came from elite families.

The reformation Protestants kept that tradition and brought it to America. It continues today.

Public school people have no idea that private schools, even the most expensive and elite have had, since they were founded, a policy of one third of the student body on full scholarship.

It continues today and will probably always be. 1,600 years of a winning formula, why change it????????

Jews consider William Buckeley to be some kind of ultra WASP aristocrat from a long line of WASP aristocrats. He wasn’t. He was Catholic and his grandfather was a humdrum Texas cowboy and deputy sheriff from a
hardscrabble farm.

The Fords of Ford motors aren’t WASPS either. They are Irish from N Ireland. Henry 1 and his ancestors were Protestants but ethnic Irish Celts.

Jews throw the pejorative around but they don’t even know what it means. They use it as a term for genetic N west European.

If only we WASPS were as powerful as Jews claim we are. Maybe we should turn into aggressive hornets and chase some people back to the Russian shetls from whence they came.

I hate the term. I believe it’s a pejorative invented by Jews for White goyim they couldn’t call hillbillies trash crackers red necks or the evil White Ethnics who turned our great cities into instant crime ridden hellholes by fleeing before the black terrorist invasions.

This is terrible advice unless the person is drunk and smashing up your china or grabbing at women or something. If they are just loudmouthed and opinionated, grin and bear it and never invite them to your home again but don’t compound rudeness with more rudeness – you are better than that. If you really can’t bear it anymore, clear everyone out (“I have an early meeting tomorrow”) but don’t ask someone to leave unless they have done something really extreme.

My business travels to Houston in the late 1990s was the first time I saw thobe clad Arabians in what I thought were large numbers. It would make sense that most Texas oilmen, once in politics, were probably more accustomed to dealing with Arabs, may have even developed sympathies with them over Israel to some degree. The general Arab/Israel conversation being different in Texas, verses the one on the upper east coast.

their prejudice and insularity

That struck me too.

A people who’s essential salient characteristic is their absolute refusal to integrate with the local majority people+culture–in fact, developing explicit religious prescriptions against social interactions with them–for a couple thousand years … tossing around “insularity”.

I guess they have a word for this–chutzpah. Honestly how much of this is just conscious propagandizing? And how much is that American Jews have drunk their own kool-aid and actually believe they are the world’s open and integrating people? Martin Luther Cohen, facing down Sheriff Bull Bush and his sailing yacht’s fire hose, demanding his country club membership be judged “by the content of their character”.

I guess the strategy is just keep repeating this nonsense, ad nauseum and eventually all the goyishe kopfs will believe it.

When Jews like Foer say “insularity” about some group what they mean is “didn’t immediately give all their stuff to Jews”.

Foer’s actual life in 2018 is reading mostly Jews, hiring mostly Jews, talking mostly to Jews. I.e. non-“insularity”.

It really depends which Jews. The Jewish Left at this point likes Palestinians (at least notional ones, just like they like notional Blacks more than real ones) a lot better than they like gun toting religious bearded Jewish West Bank settlers. Orthodox Jews quite like Trump.

Bush got nuked by Ross Perot- hardly an Israeli stooge.

Btw, if we had all voted for Perot in ’92, how much better off would we be as a country?

Did the Bushes really have noblesse oblige or did they have a will to power?

Why would the Left want to oppose him ? The Conservatives are the ones w/o a credible candidate .

To the American Jewish mind, all but the upper west side of Manhattan, Malibu, Beverly Hills, and the west Los Angeles Woodland Hills neighborhoods of Los Angeles and Highland Park and Glencoe suburbs of Chicago are all bumpkin places.

What really was vicious and horrible about Jews was their continual propaganda that Bush 2 was dumb. He managed to graduate from both Yale and Harvard business school. The Harvard MBA wasn’t Jewish liberalolgy crap. MBAs are essentially math, pretty hard to fake like liberalology courses.

He graduated from Andover, one of the 4 hardest and most elite high schools in the country, a place all you Stuvestant and Bronx Science worshippers never even heard of.

And yes, Andover, like all private schools has a one third scholarship continually replenish the elite from poor kids with brains and talent 1,600 year old policy

Plus like everybody else his IQ was tested when he joined the military. It came out 125. 125 is classified as very bright just 5 points below 130 classified as gifted. It’s 95 percentile.

Yet bigoted biased prejudiced White hating Jews insistited in call big him “dumb”. He graduated from one

My understanding is that the first prominent American Bush was Samuel Bush from Ohio, the father of Prescott Bush, the former without a formal higher education who worked his way into the burgeoning Railway business and who was considered a minor great Industrialist from that age.

I was actually quite surprised to learn this when I did because I had always assumed that the Bushes were old stock New Englanders, perhaps the Mayflower descendants type.

Here is Jeb with his housekeeper… oops I mean wife:

Columba is clearly just your run of the mill Mestizo, so roughly 1/2 Spanish and 1/2 Indio (maybe a couple of % African for good measure). GPB would therefore be maybe 1/4 Indio.

As Steve has often pointed out (and the “race is a social construct” people have a bit of a point there), as brownish people succeed they often undergo a process of “whitening”. You have your hair styled differently, you learn to avoid the sun, maybe there are cosmetics or treatments involved, but viola! the chocolaty brown boy becomes the cafe au lait man. Color photography (especially as seen on a computer monitor) is also deceptive. When you see GPB next to his daddy even today he is clearly a couple of shades darker than a 100% European. As for dark skinned Sicilians, they ain’t 100% European either.

The whole country will go to hell – no public services will work anymore, crime will be rampant, etc. but at least it will be OK to criticize Jews so it won’t be ALL bad!

Jewish Kool-aid is exceptionally potent. Look at Tyrion 2.

How can anyone miss that Foer is criticising GHWB for his politics and not his persona?

Ummm…because talking about his pedigree doesn’t concern his politics, but his persona?

Hey you can’t fault Frankin Foer here – he’s just following that old adage: Speak ill of the dead

Is Cheney a neocon or just neocon-approved?

What about Rumsfeld?

Jack, you’ve made many well thought out perceptive comments. It’s good to have an attorney on the site too.

But sometimes your Jewish bigotry bias and prejudices against the White goyim are a bit much. For some reason the word came down from the Jewish Central Committee of Propaganda that Jews are obligated to hate Bush 1 & 2 and Trump.

You’re an attorney. You must have a better than average brain. Why not use it to think for yourself?

“The notion that you can be a right-wing socialist was probably a massive surprise and a revelation to the French”

A right-wing socialist?! Next you’ll be talking about some kind of National Socialism; that could never work.

Certainly they were ambitious and desired leadership roles but they did appear to identify more with the population than our current elites do. Well as much as a patricians could be expected.

Today it appears our elite is openly greedy, openly seeks to buy political influence. I mean look at the Clintons. They are past their prime yet insist on going on a speaking tour where they are greeted by 1/4 full audiences. For what? What is to be gained?

Foer seems really hung up on the “insularity” of others. I wonder why that is? Psychologists have a name for this sort of behavior, and it’s right on the tip of my tongue.

Yes, it’s always amusing when a people distinguished by a high degree of clannishness, insularity, and inbreeding point an accusing finger at others for the sins of clannishness, insularity, and inbreeding.

Hello Sailor,
(excuse me for repeating the bad joke, but it is only the second time, not repeating it again).

Not a U.S.A. person, but as always, you make a good comment.

To me, pappy Bush is three things.

One who seems to have played fair with (or attempted to be with) Russia and the USSR.

The last rep. of the New England (meaning that in the old wider sense than the state boundaries) ruling class to be Prex.

One whose attempt at a second term was definitely destroyed by the U.S.A.’s Jewish-run MSM. As a political slogan Slick-dick Clinton’s campaign’s ‘It’s the economy, stupid!’ made as much sense as ‘I’ll buy that for a dollar!’ by the idiot television host in the original Robocop movie. It has long been obvious to me that the mainstream of (((them))) was determined that he be single-term.

I may be a little foolish on it, but suspect that the world would have been (and be) a slightly (or possibly markedly) better place if Bush the first had won in his second candidacy.

The New. York Review has ignited a thermonuclear bomb of immigration rhetoric, authored by the first South Asian-American Congresswoman:
https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/12/03/a-new-moral-imagination-on-immigration/
Another recent article there proposed taking the route of the former regimes of the Warsaw Pact countries in regulating access to universities, as apparently there is no other way of “Justifying diversity”:
https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/12/06/justifying-diversity/

I think that opponents of mass immigration just don’t do enough to refute the pseudofacts circulated by the Chamber of Commerce-camp.
I’d also like to ask what’s up with the Gallup numbers cited in Congresswoman Jayapal’s manifesto of reality distortion, history revision and linguistic dissimulation.

She’s a fine looking woman to be in her 60s. If she’s had any cosmetic surgery it’s discreet to the eye. FWIW both of their sons married white woman although one wife has a Mediterranean flair.

“Collapse”? The best public opinion surveyors have been able to determine, Jewish voters cast between 20% and 40% of their ballots for Republican presidential candidates,…….

In a national race, nobody cares about 30% of the vote cast by 2% of the population. For that matter, they probably don’t care about 70% of the vote cast by 2% of the population.

In this context, “support” means “money”, not “votes”, you stupid nitwit.

Didn’t Linda destroy her nose by snorting cocaine and Didn’t she bed down with Jerry Brown before he became a homo?

As I understand it, Columbia??? was a daughter of one of the elite families in town. The son won’t achieve what his great grandfather grandfather uncle and father did. But so what, families move up and down the SES scale.

Jeb and Columbia? fell in love in high school, married very young and have stayed married all these years.

I’m an English not Scots or Irish descent genuine WASP, blue eyes white skin natural blonde hair. I’m also short. If I married a 6 ft 3 man I’d look like a midget standing next to him too.

whose foundational religious text is unarguably a manual for mercilessly dispossessing and destroying every nation around them.

What should we read to evaluate whether your claim is true?

is one fundamental indication of their belief in cyclical time and it predicts the core cultural and political practices that would align with that belief.

Where is it written that their cycle is 7000 years? What is your reasoning/evidence for thinking it aligns with cultural and political practices?

it basically comes down to Jews not being able to get over the fact that Protestant Anglo-Saxons created America…..

Yes, true.

But aren’t basically all Anglo-Saxons Protestant?

Or was it, for the Bush family, just more about pleasing the business lobby?

It was about pleasing the Jewish lobby.

Given what has become of The Atlantic, in terms of its preoccupations and editorial focus, perhaps it should be renamed The Levantine.

Good point, both Jeb and Ann were teenagers when they either got married or met their spouse. These were pairings of youthful passion not cold calculations of future power.

Although I must admit Barack’s choice of Michelle has always struck me as being a calculated choice with political ambition in mind.

What new book?

One thing all the ancient fathers of 1 or 2 kids who keep posting that White women should have 4 to 6 kids should admire about Bush 1 is that he had 5 blue eyed N European kids.

He did what the misogynist codgers didn’t do and had 5 White kids. And his wife never worked once they got married in their early 20s.

He is a hero to the big family crew

Yep.

Also the days of American WASP elites cutting deals with Arabs at Jewish Israel’s expense are so long passed, the same as the British Empire ruling Jerusalem and favoring an Arabist perspective over the Zionist one – that’s ancient history.

The reality is that Arab elites, Islamists elites have cut deals with Israel, Zionists to stay in power and to also support the Arab/Muslim migration colonization of Europe, UK, Sweden.

On foreign policy and mass immigration Saudi Arabia Sunni Islamists and Israel, the Jewish lobby are on the same side in all things that matter. Israel and Saudi Arabia took/take exactly ZERO Syrian war refugees, Israel, the Jewish lobby and Saudi Arabia Sunni Islamists insist Europe, UK, Sweden USA MUST accept virtually unlimited Syrian/North African/Muslim migrants – anybody that speaks against this is smeared and marginalized as a terrible RACIST, NAZI.

The alliance between Saudi Arabia Sunni Islamists and Israel, the Jewish Lib Democrat/Neo Con/Neo Liberal alliance is best symbolized by the sham marriage between Hillary’s chief of staff Huma Abedin and NYC Jewish mayor to be turned sexting pervert Anthony Weiner – strong case for birth control there.

The dem’s simply have no minor leaguers to bring up to the majors right now. (Beto was an aberration.

All they need is one. Why wouldn’t O’Rourke win the presidency in 2020?

With the prestige of the Desert Storm victory, Bush and his secretary of state James Baker tried to restrain Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, which led to a collapse in Jewish support in 1992.

As a general rule, at least since LBJ, the question “Who is the most pro-Israel President?” could be answered with “The current one”. But 90 or 95% never seems good enough. Nothing less than everything seems to be sufficient. It’s almost as if the attitude is “Either your with us or against us”. Somebody said that once, as I remember.

but the publishing game was UU entirely by then.

What is “UU”?

George P. Bush, Poppy’s “Little Brown One,”

That’s the Honerable George P. Bush, Land Commissioner of the State of Texas, to you buddy.

Bitter Iraqis remember George H.W. Bush as ‘Mr Embargo’

Vidal’s loathing of Jews was quite explicit.

Citation needed.

Adams really was anti-Semitic (and Vidal too for that matter) and the State Dept. Arabists really didn’t like Jews much either, so I don’t know what your point is. Sometimes paranoids really do have enemies.

The important question is: Why do Jews make enemies?

Her fathers regular job was management level city job. I think the water department. He was very high up in the Democratic Party apparatus. It was an advantageous marriage for new comer Barry

Maybe Barry and Michelle loved each other. Anyone ever thought of that????

What would your advice be if the rude person were a Jew instead of a dumb goy?

Frida Kahlo’s father was a German that married a Native Mexican.

Such sympathy with the Galloway (i.e. former British M.P. George Galloway of very vocal anti-neocon ‘tude) appears to be recent, that is, post the George H W Bush presidency.

And a leftie (President Obama?) can promulgate the James Baker approach, but Secretary of State Baker himself cannot because he is the personification of scheming evil because Florida 2000. And a leftie cannot overdo it either — I think Al Sharpton is kind of semi-OK whereas Louis Farrakhan remains a pariah.

This relates to the discussion on Steve Sailers blog about how neighborhoods are good when White, destroyed by blacks and improved when Whites or any other group moves in.

Most of you have heard of the infamous Los Angeles suburb of Compton, as bad as Watts and S Central La.

Well guess what young White couple lived in Compton in the late 40s early 50s when it was an all White nice working class town ideal for a young couple with a big family.

George and Barbara Bush. Yes, they lived in the infamous Compton for a few years. Like many Compton men, George worked in the Long Beach oil fields learning the business. Barbara, like the Compton women kept house had babies and took care of family and home

By 1960 Compton was one of the most crime ridden black enclaves in America. It’s now Hispanic, very poor but the crime rate went down down down as the Hispanics moved in.

Foer is the moron who, as editor of the New Republic, published the fake war diaries of Scott Thomas Beauchamp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Thomas_Beauchamp_controversy

But sometimes nobody seemed to believe in George Bush’s best intentions more than himself—which meant that he couldn’t understand when people failed to forgive his most odious mistakes.

Sort of how we will fail to forgive those who brought us diversity and multiculturalism.

Moral values were worth defending, but not at the expense of the national interest.

Sort of how some refuse to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

If the Old Money Republicans could have mustered that leadership, and stood firm against the flow of segregationists into their club, it might have precluded the invention of Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy” and the generations of racialized politics that followed.

Then we the democrats would not have lost the entire South for a couple of generations and would have occupied the White House on a somewhat permanent basis.

In reality, he was an archetypal representative of the modern party, a man whose sense of duty failed him when it came to resisting the rise of racially revanchist, libertarian forces.

What’s with the little attack on libertarians? I’ve noticed anecdotally that the left is increasingly hostile to libertarians. By the left I mean progressives. I believe true liberals have a somewhat friendlier view of libertarians. But progressives really despise them.

Old Money was superior to New Money, because those born into their wealth had been groomed to have perfect manners.

To call this a strawman would be an insult to actual strawman.

That is probably the least important reason why Old Money is superior to New Money.

As Aristotle noted over two thousand years ago, those who had inherited their wealth were more likely to be generous with it and to use it to promote the common good than those who hadn’t, precisely because the former group hadn’t earned it.

Atlantic: Nostalgia for GHW Bush Is Anti-Semitic

Nowadays, isn’t everything?

Not really. And I’ve read just about everything he ever wrote, including all his essays. The “worst” thing I can recall is that in one essay he referred to Jews as a “predatory people”, which doesn’t strike me as terribly unfair. The good news for you is that after he died, the worst among your co-ethnics were able to attack him without fear of a reply, as they did in every obituary they wrote, frequently, and with their always-present bad faith, citing Vidal’s quite reasonable and prophetic comments about mass immigration into Europe.

On a more serious note: it amazes me when people don’t realize that other people may have different reasons for liking or disliking something.

Anti-Semitism may not even be on radar for many who liked Bush Senior.

Your explanation by random assertion could be lifted, in form, straight from everydayfeminism.com. I get you have cult dogma. Repeating it endlessly doesn’t make it true.

Instead, he admires GHWB’s persona but detests his politics.

The admiration has an Ancien Régime quality to it…..Now that the WASP patriciate has been thoroughly displaced, we can allow ourselves a few kind words about its good aspects….

I call bullshit – thinking of Texas as a bumpkin state is only slightly less Jewish than a yarmulke.

Franklin Foer, who has produced opinion journalism on patronage his entire adult life, writes an article full of punchy caricatures revealing he doesn’t actually know much. So, you figure you’ll offer a counter-caricature to get even.

To the American Jewish mind,

The issue of your imagination is fascinating to you, not to anyone normal.

It isn’t odd at all, if you accept that ideas actually do matter and you don’t reduce literally everything to your satire of itself dumb racial dogma.

In this context, “support” means “money”, not “votes”, you stupid nitwit.

Let’s see you tally the numbers, blowhard.

“Most Jews see Steve Sailer as an anti-semite. Most Jews are correct.”

This is the whole thing in a nutshell. I know I flagged this post for the ADL to review. I hope Sailer has a good lawyer because hate speech is technically illegal.

Tastes great or less filling?

…promote destruction of what came before. I wonder if Goldstein et al ever reflect that after they extinguish the WASPs, that space gets backfilled by less pliant Middle Easteners; Africans; Asians; Meso-Americans; etc.

We are told that Jews enjoyed a golden age in Muslim Spain. They are also a wealthy minority group across North Africa and the Middle East.

OT – First I learned that the Irish weren’t white. Now I am learning the Irish were responsible for the native American genocide.

Nineteenth century Irish immigration to the New World of one million plus was colonial, racist, opportunistic , land grabbing, brutal and ultimately resulted in the genocide of the native American indigenous tribes. Ironically the Southern Irish as a product of their own cowardice and racism ignorantly accuse the Jews of doing similar within the Palestinian territories.

It was considered the Manifest Destiny of Irish settlers to promote their rights and purpose to inhabit and conquer the entire North American continent at the expense of the indigenous population. American Indians once represented 100 percent of the population of the Americas and four hundred years later they now represent less than one percent through massacre, starvation and genocide perpetrated mainly by the Irish.

It is estimated that circa 1550 American Indians numbered around 15 million and there are only 238, 000 today.

A starting point is difficult – we could begin with the 7th President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, first generation Irish and responsible for the slaughter of the Creek Indians and the implementation of Apartheid Laws, the Removal Act of 1830 forcing the native Indians to reservations from their natural homelands and the barbaric Trail of Tears where Indians were marched thousands of miles in atrocious conditions to lands barren of food.

In the mid to late 19th century just after the Civil war there was Irish dominance of the US Cavalry both in troops and officers. . In his essay Irish of the US military , November 2000 ( link unavailable ), Jim Otto’s research suggests a number of 230,000 Irish populated the US Cavalry equaling 70 percent spanning 39 Regiments , the majority not citizens and on average being in the country for two years or less . The remaining 30 percent of the troops were Buffalo Soldiers ( African-American ), German or Skandinavian.

According to research the Buffalo soldiers played very little part in the Indian Plains War. The reasons for such a large Irish proportion were simply the economic opportunities for a majority unskilled immigrant workforce.

In ziocon circles, Vidal was nicknamed “Abu Vidal”.

Yeah, but modern-day progs (unlike, say, the New Leftists of the 60s) also think that bombing/attacking foreign countries for ‘human rights’ is a marvelous idea … so long as somebody else’s kids do that bombing and attacking.

I’m not sure they do. Obama on campaign in 2008 was quite different than bomb bomb the world Obama in office.

Western countries vote in people promising change all of the time, on many issues, yet the course tends to remain the same. Action and leadership is what our contemporary elites seem to lack.

Once upon a time, we had a ruling élite that was different. When Abraham Lincoln, for example, said that “our union must be preserved,” he offered up all four of sons as sacrifice

Truly he deserves to be called “Abraham”.

which doesn’t strike me as terribly unfair.

Well, there’s your problem right there.

the worst among your co-ethnics

The worst among my co-ethnics were flayed in Deliverance.

Owing to their dispersion among populations professing creed different from their own, Jews have married ear relatives more frequently than the rest of the world.

It always another group’s fault. Here, Jews forced to practice incest because other groups “professed creeds different from their own.”

Those generous Jewish and other donors save about $400,000 in taxes for every $100,000 they donate to all those bogus NGOs.

What are the mechanics for that? I believe this is a serious exaggeration of how charity tax deduction works. It is my understanding that those earning more than $500,000 a year pay a top rate of 37% on earnings over that bracket, if they don’t avoid it in some other way.

This means that a tax deductable donation of $1,000,000 becomes $1,370,000 when it arrive at the NGO but the rich bloke is still out of pocket $1,000,000 and doesn’t actually make money.

I think that opponents of mass immigration just don’t do enough to refute the pseudofacts circulated by the Chamber of Commerce-camp.

What do you mean?

Frida Kahlo’s father was a German that married a Native Mexican.

Wasn’t Frieda Kahlo Jewish?

He says it couldn’t save itself because it betrayed progressive racial doctrine. That’s a political disagreement.

“Maybe Barry and Michelle loved each other. Anyone ever thought of that????”

Not me, certainly. It’s pretty obvious there’s a lack of chemistry between those two. Barack prefers white guys and Michelle would rather have married a real black man, a tough guy like her brother the basketball player.

FWIW: http://www.desertsun.co.uk/blog/8688/

It’s an interesting point, but it’s worth mentioning that Obama did more than avoid war with Iran.

The rural/urban split has become an oceanic gulf. It equals the racial divide!

Isn’t the rural/urban split a sort of proxy for the racial divide? Most nonwhites appear to live in cities or suburbs. So as the nation becomes more nonwhite, the urban areas will diverge more from the rural, white areas. The rural/urban divide is related to the racial divide. It’s not a separate issue.

Yeah, maybe but I still think the critical theme is persona let down by politics, and certainly not the other way around.

Why did I (and I hope others) mark Bush sr. as an antisemite–and vote for Clinton!? In other words, what did Bush do that was so unforgivable that it would make Jews and Israel supporters vote for his abominable opponent? The specific points, as I recall, were these:

1. Bush refused to cosign for the loan that was to help integrate Soviet immigrants to Israel. The simple act of helping a friendly country would have saved Israel many millions in interest, and Israel had never failed to pay off that that sort of loan. So that was a gratuitously hostile act.

2. There was some issue about America selling advanced jets to Saudi Arabia, or maybe it was some kind of advanced conformal F-4 fuel tanks. America was betraying a promise to Israel that it would not do this. And then Bush defended this betrayal with what sounded like classic antisemitism by claiming that he was just a little guy trying to the right thing and here he was in Washington surrounded by teeming Israel lobbyists who think they are the real controllers of the US, that sort of thing.

3. And then his verminous secretary of state Baker went before Congress and said, “What kind of gratitude is that? We GIVE Israel 3 billion dollars every year WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED!” And that was a stone cold lie, as Baker and Bush knew. Israel was required by law to spend 75 percent of that on US military equipment, so it was basically a subsidy to US military companies in strategic political states.

Bush followed the State dept-CIA Arabist petro-dollars line to torpedo the Shamir government–well what else is new? Israel has survived worse. With Clinton we got the great Arafat peace plan. But Bush and Baker crossed the sort of line that must be punished at the ballot box.

“The Presidency by Ralph Lauren.” The evocation of the legendary fashion designer was a sly bit of sociology—the old American aristocracy was already in decline, since its aesthetic had been commodified (by none other than Ralph Lifshitz) and made accessible to all in the democracy of the shopping mall.

Ahem. I believe the correct word is “appropriated.” Until Liberals acknowledge and soundly condemn the Ur cultural appropriation of Ralph Lifshitz-Lauren, then “cultural appropriation” is just a lot of hot air.

Gore Vidal and Kennan are now ‘racist’ or ‘antisemitic’ too.

Gore Vidal and George Kennan identified with the patriotic old stocker view of the United States of America against the globalizer view that the USA was just a polyglot money-grubber zone fit for plunder and cultural destruction.

Gore Vidal and George Kennan understood the need for the people of the Global North to resist the invasionary migrant invader flood from the Global South.

Both Gore Vidal and George Kennan had some Scotch-Irish ancestry, as do I. Givens for me.

I’m guessing that if you polled support for Israel vs. Arabs Texas would be more pro-Israel than the northeast, especially if you just polled non-Jews.

Why would I tolerate someone being rude to me and my friends inside my own home? It is not a public space.

Loudmouthed and opinionated aren’t necessarily the same thing as deliberately rude, I’ll grant you that, but if someone sets out to insult me, my family, or my friends in my home, then they need to go, and I’d prefer not to be “better than that.”

Glad to see you weighing in with the weekly standard hot take. I should have worked the Jews in there if I really wanted to see you care.

What should we read to evaluate whether your claim is true?

Assuming that you aren’t a Jew and therefore making a bad faith rhetorical argument, you are asking for rudimentary information that is widely known by anyone who has read a Bible in-full and by Jews themselves.

But to play along for a second and give you the benefit of the doubt (which you do not deserve) in being green on this topic, you can start with Deuteronomy. There is much more than this:

DEUTERONOMY 4:38
…to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring into their land to give it to you as an inheritance, as it is today.

DEUTERONOMY 7:16
You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods.

DEUTERONOMY 7:22
The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No-one will be able to stand against you: You will destroy them all.

DEUTERONOMY 11:23
Then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you. Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Western sea. No man will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, where ever you go.

DEUTERONOMY 12:29
The LORD your God will cut off before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land, and after they have been destroyed before you…

DEUTERONOMY 15:6
For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.

DEUTERONOMY 20:16
However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them as the LORD your God has commanded you.

JOSHUA 11:20
For it was the LORD himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Where is it written that their cycle is 7000 years? What is your reasoning/evidence for thinking it aligns with cultural and political practices?

Read the rest of my post for the main points that you are avoiding with your niggling question in regard to cultural and political practices, the answer to which was already given in my prior post. Don’t ask me to be repetitive.

Not that Jews deserve further conversation let alone a debate at this point, but:

The 7,000 year period is an explicit allegory for the cyclical week, as illustrated by the Sabbath cycle and the explicit Sabbath”Jews will not work” mirror in the Messianic period. Though, my points still hold if you wanted to merely think of the 7,000 year period as a macrocosm of one single non-cyclical week. The same ritualistic principles would apply.

Because I see that you are so interested in the 7,000 period, I am compelled to ask if you wish to get into it and talk about something more poignant like the supremacist-slave relationship that is explicit in the Jewish teachings about the Messianic period and all that it implies as written by the Jews. You know, since you are so interested in “evidence” being served to you on a silver platter here that has long been in the public sphere?

I’ll hold my breath.

They’re waving the tri-color and the Celtic Cross. But yah sure.

Are we doing make believe deep dive here? Stop arguing from assertion.

Because no one really knows what’s going on since, as Tyrion asserted earlier, the French always riot and GHWB dying is a massive deal, so why pay attention whattaya whattaya?

BAP, as usual, seems to have the correct take on this where its right and left vs. Globohomo corporate centrism.

which doesn’t strike me as terribly unfair.

Well, there’s your problem right there.

Recognizing patterns of behavior is never a problem.

The worst among my co-ethnics were flayed in Deliverance.

Amusing. But still not worse than the jews I’m thinking of. It’s not even close.

if someone sets out to insult me, my family, or my friends

Such as what?

Hi Steve: Can you write a blog post about this article? Thanks..

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/03/opinion/male-female-brains-mosaic.html

Or consider studies that report sex differences in brain structure in terms of two different classes of brains. Thus, a globally publicized study by Madhura Ingalhalikar and colleagues on the human connectome — that is, the enormous set of connections between the different regions of the brain — which concluded that “male brains are structured to facilitate connectivity between perception and coordinated action, whereas female brains are designed to facilitate communication between analytical and intuitive processing modes.

… one of the most unpleasant dinner guests I’ve ever encountered. As it happens, all of the other people present that evening were just reminiscing about what a tremendous dick he was …

Don’t mean to pry, but any interesting tidbits?

The French love fascism and fascists, as was proved between the wars, and perhaps even more during their love affair with Germany from 1940 onwards.

So we find that ultimately anti-semitic is just a synonym for gentile.

Obama – Big Jewish support. Not much of a supporter of Israel.

Trump – Not much Jewish support. Big supporter of Israel.

Parallel:

Obama – Big European support. Not much of a supporter of Europe.

Trump – Not much European support. Big supporter of Europe.

Conclusion:

Ideology, class, caste, region, culture, profession, values, lifestyle all still matter very much. Not everything is race. In fact, far from everything is race. Even if all of the above are tangled together.

Its more like a device that attempts to compare and undermine Trump’s image (for them, there is no bottom). Otherwise, I doubt there would be such explicit Progressive / Neocon sentimentalism in regard to Bush.

Though, also remember that Bush served them well (while they roasted him, similar to how Trump is serving them also). There really isn’t much conflict between their adulation and the political reality of Bush’s presidency, other than the fact that any conservative president has the potential to serve Heritage America (Bush did not). That potential describes any hostility in-full.

This same potential conflict with Trump is real and not potential, at least in regard to his speech (which is enough for them). This is why they will never give Trump the same treatment as they are giving Bush today.

That was an inspiring comment. I hope you’re right.

There’s some truth to that. In that racism and assorted similar words have become, in part, derogatory synonyms for “white”.

Calling a white person “a racist” can be like calling a black person a nig..r.

What should we read to evaluate whether your claim is true?

Deuteronomy 7, Deuteronomy 20, Isaiah 60 include themes along these lines.

And then there’s the other N-word.

“Collapse”? The best public opinion surveyors have been able to determine, Jewish voters cast between 20% and 40% of their ballots for Republican presidential candidates, with the best performers being Richard Nixon (programmatic temporizers running against an honest but fatuous man) and Ronald Reagan in 1980 (running against an evangelical). ‘Collapse’ would mean the candidate garners 20% instead of the usual 25%.

While an undeniable achievement for Bush, [“restraining” West Bank settling] was not without its costs. Bush’s backing by American Jews took a nosedive immediately thereafter…

Receiving 35% of the Jewish vote in 1988, Bush only got 11% in 1992, when he lost to Bill Clinton. Only one Republican nominee for president has received a smaller portion of Jewish support — when Barry Goldwater claimed just 10% in 1964. Roughly 25% of American Jews voted for Donald Trump in 2016.

You left out perception.

But there is one odd way in which Trump’s supporters have gotten what they wanted. Trump isn’t draining the swamp himself, but the shock of his ascent has created swamp-draining conditions — in which other corruptions have suddenly been exposed, and there have been many deserved falls from grace.

This exposure has vindicated some of the public cynicism that made Trump’s rise possible — because in many cases the newly-exposed scandals were open secrets, known to those in the know, and in some cases they were as baroquely grotesque as any Reddit fantasy. (Like, what if Harvey Weinstein’s whole movie empire was just a procurement agency, and what if he hired ex-Mossad agents to stalk one of the stars of “Charmed” … ?)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/01/opinion/sunday/under-trump-the-swamp-is-draining.html

The world overflows with affection for the man long known as Poppy—that clubbable, slightly daffy avatar of decency.

Should I go for the “clubbable” thing right off the bat? Won’t that seem a little too, you know, Jewy? Nah, screw it, the Golfocaust must never be forgotten!

When George H. W. Bush passed, so did the last true wasp. In appearance, he embodied what The New York Times’ Alessandra Stanley once called “The Presidency by Ralph Lauren.” The evocation of the legendary fashion designer was a sly bit of sociology—the old American aristocracy was already in decline, since its aesthetic had been commodified (by none other than Ralph Lifshitz) and made accessible to all in the democracy of the shopping mall.

Yeah, yeah, nobody ever wanted to copy traditional Jewish style:

But that doesn’t matter. We gotcha clothes, you WASP bastards! Your style belongs to us!

But George H. W. Bush came from an elite cluster; Harvard President Charles W. Eliot described them as the “superior families.” Bush’s ancestors did business with Rockefellers and Harrimans. In places like Newport and Kennebunkport, these families existed in an inbred world that for many decades self-consciously segregated itself by race, religion, and class.

Dunno….It’s gonna be awfully easy for some smartypants to point out that section fits Jews….Maybe I should leave it out….Wait, what am I saying….People know better than to criticize Jews in public…..

Old Money was superior to New Money, because those born into their wealth had been groomed to have perfect manners.

Goddamn haute-WASPs with your elaborate manners and fancy forks….Second only to the Golfocaust was the Ordeal of Civility……

The sons of the American aristocracy were sent off to Wall Street, the Foreign Service, and the Senate.

Well, we got Wall Street and the Foreign Service now, ya WASP bastards…..

One of the facts of this establishment is that it always worried about its imminent death.

Maybe I should ask around about that one, seeing how us Jews are always worried about the dangers posed by intermarriage and assimilation….

In his canonical memoir, Henry Adams, the descendant of presidents, worried that people like himself were disappearing in the tradition of the Indians and the buffalo. And there could be little doubt what a Brahmin such as Adams believed threatened the extinction of his kind. In 1907, he wrote about the worrying presence of immigrants; in particular, he described a “furtive Yacoob or Ysaac still reeking of the ghetto.”

Do you have any idea of the pain that I suffered when I read The Education of Henry Adams? Being reminded that America existed before my people arrived?

George H. W. Bush had traces of this sense of superiority, with his relentless pursuit of dynastic governance. One can read this instinct as laudable: a father cultivating love of public service in his progeny. But there was a dangerous undercurrent, too. The nation needed the Bushes because of their breeding. Here was a family intent on preserving its place at the high table of American life.

Look, this was basically a race war. Jew vs WASP…..and Us Jews have got the good chair now….

And he noted how the old-stock Protestants were in the process of committing class suicide. He predicted that with their prejudice and insularity, the members of this old aristocracy would find themselves in abeyance, pushed aside by more talented members of minority groups.

Gosh I’m clever. Note how I said “minority groups.” Of course, I mean Jews…..but this allows idiots to insert Blacks and Latinx…

He heaped praise on the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and the presidents of universities who understood the imperative of democratizing their elite, opening it to groups unlike themselves—an act of beneficence and a means of preserving the institutions and privileges of their own cohort.

Yeah, all that WASP talk about being inclusive was just a smokescreen…..a way to maintain control….Too bad for them that they believed their own spiel…..

I don’t mean to dismiss the wasp sense of duty. It was real, and quite often a force for good in the world. George H. W. Bush acquired a certain wisdom through his years of service: He showed a steady hand at world-historic moments and a tenacious commitment to diplomacy, and he displayed remarkable grace in defeat and often dealt with his political foes in uncommonly good faith.

Rule Number One: You gotta sprinkle in a few kind words in a hit piece….Otherwise the animus will be too obvious….

But sometimes nobody seemed to believe in George Bush’s best intentions more than himself—which meant that he couldn’t understand when people failed to forgive his most odious mistakes.

Here we go, baby!

Once upon a time, the Republican Party had served as one of Old Money’s favorite clubs.

GODDAMN WASP CLUBS!

But by the time George H. W. Bush joined the game, the party was changing. It was reconstituting itself as the stalwart of the American South, defined by its reaction to Democrats’ embrace of civil rights.

If there’s one thing that I hate more than Yankee bluebloods, it’s Southerners….So icky….

The notorious Willie Horton ad of 1988, which crudely stoked racial fears, is often dismissed as the handiwork of the consultant Lee Atwater, not an expression of George Bush’s heart. But really it was a plot point consistent with the narrative of his career: A man who wanted to be lauded as a force for racial progress frequently positioned himself on the side of abject racism.

Remember, Blacks, Jews are on your side….

George Bush’s foreign policy was famously realist: Moral values were worth defending, but not at the expense of the national interest. The same could be said of his own career. After so accurately decrying “voodoo economics,” he joined the administration that enshrined them. He stood by Reagan as he opposed sanctions against South Africa’s apartheid regime, and as the administration mounted a crusade against “reverse discrimination,” an effort to undo affirmative action.

Again, Jews are on your side. Trust us, not those duplicitous, double-dealing WASPs….

One of the great counterfactuals of American history is pondering what would have happened if George Bush had exerted greater control over the destiny of the Republican Party. What if the moderate Republicans of the late 1950s and early ’60s had aggressively owned the civil-rights agenda—and rendered the cause of racial justice a bipartisan concern? If the Old Money Republicans could have mustered that leadership, and stood firm against the flow of segregationists into their club, it might have precluded the invention of Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy” and the generations of racialized politics that followed.

God, those rich WASPs are so weak and pathetic…..

Obituaries present George H. W. Bush as the last of the Republican moderates. In reality, he was an archetypal representative of the modern party, a man whose sense of duty failed him when it came to resisting the rise of racially revanchist, libertarian forces.

At the risk of repeating myself, Jews are on the side of the POC.

He embodied an Establishment that wrote very nice thank-you notes. But good manners are hardly the same as moral courage; prudence is sometimes hard-hearted. Those who are mourning the passing of the old Establishment should mourn its many failures, too.

Look, us Jews are crude and ill-mannered, but we’ve got soft hearts…..I mean, we’re willing to allow in limitless hordes of POC into the West……

It seems unlikely that all those pillars of the Establishment in New York and Philadelphia “had incredible contempt for White people outside of New England”.

Lincoln had one son of military age, who got a staff job. Jefferson Davis had no son of military age.

FDR had four sons that served in the military: all saw combat.

Right, Soros was a collaborator, not a Nazi.

Good one.

….a tax deductable donation of $1,000,000 becomes $1,370,000 when it arrive at the NGO but the rich bloke is still out of pocket $1,000,000 and doesn’t actually make money.

I don’t know how it works either, but I think the anti-semitic/conspiracy theory angle is that the rich bloke isn’t out the million, because he’s in cahoots with the other rich blokes/Jews/Illuminati (delete as appropriate).

If you and I give each other a million dollars via our charitable foundations, then we both pocket 370k. Multiply this outwards and you have the charitable foundation money laundering scam.

Like I said, I don’t know this stuff works, and so I don’t know if this accurately describes things. But it is what some people think, and so might be what anon was getting at.

I think they do now. I’m just saying based on his background would have expected a white women or higher status light skinned woman.

Lincoln had one son of military age, who got a staff job. Jefferson Davis had no son of military age.

FDR had four sons that served in the military: all saw combat.

I know that you don’t like Theodore Roosevelt, but all of his sons saw combat in the Great War, and one of them died in action:

Marriage to a White woman would have been political suicide for Obama; it would have cost him the Black female vote.

Steve Sailer did write about the possibility of a new book of him, so – – – – – – – some of his readers (like me, for example) remember this possibility here and there.

John Derbyshire said, it took him quite a while to talk Steve Sailer’s last book about the pre-presidential Barack Obama of The Dreams of my Father into being, really, but he did make it – and the book is profound. Impressive. Well thought out and written. I do quote it here and there and have made quite some effect with the quotes. For some German readers, it’s hard to digest, that race indeed is a thing for Obama. Even more disturbing is the almost completely overlooked but nevertheless quite interesting fact, that Obama likes David Epstein’s book The Sports Gene about race and – – sports, of course.

That would be an must for Steve’s next book too – the hint at Obama actually liking this book, and this notification could have been found in one publication only, at least by a dumbass like me – and that is: Right here on iSteve! – Nothing easier than that!

Clinton Global Initiative donors gave military materiel to the Islamic Republic of Iran

Dear readers, before you kill your wife, make sure everyone understands that you are close with House Clinton. That way you will not be punished.

Abul Huda Farouki, 75, of McLean, Virginia; his brother Mazen Farouki, 73, of Boyce, Virginia; and Salah Maarouf, 71, of Fairfax, Virginia, were each charged in an indictment filed in the District of Columbia with two counts of major fraud, one count of conspiracy to violate the restrictions on doing business with Iran, four counts of substantive violations of those restrictions, and one count of conspiracy to commit international money laundering. The defendants made their initial appearance on Nov. 29 before Judge G. Michael Harvey. All were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 6 before Judge Trevor N. McFadden.

According to the indictment, on June 22, 2012, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded Anham an $8 billion contract to provide food and supplies to U.S. troops in Afghanistan known as the “SPV-A contract.” As part of the bidding process, the defendants allegedly caused Anham to represent that it would build two warehouses in Afghanistan, which Anham would use to provide supplies to U.S. forces. The indictment alleges that the defendants schemed to defraud the Department of Defense in connection with the SPV-A contract by submitting bids that contained knowingly false estimates of the completion dates for the warehouses and by providing the government with misleading photographs intended to convey that Anham’s progress on the warehouses was further along than it actually was. Specifically, the indictment alleges that, in February of 2012, the defendants and others caused Anham employees to transport construction equipment and materials to the proposed site of one of the warehouse complexes to create the false appearance of an active construction site. Members of the conspiracy then photographed the site, provided the photographs to the Department of Defense, and then largely deconstructed the staged construction site.

The SPV-A contract also required bidders to certify that they abide by the Iran Sanctions Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens and companies from engaging in commercial activity in Iran. According to the indictment, the defendants conspired to increase Anham’s profits in connection with the SPV-A contract by shipping warehouse building materials to Afghanistan via Iran, instead of using more costly, but legal, routes. According to the indictment, after learning that the Wall Street Journal was planning to run a story detailing Anham’s practice of shipping materials through Iran, Abul Huda Farouki sent an email to a senior Department of Defense official, which falsely claimed that senior management at Anham had been unaware that the transshipments through Anham had taken place.

In addition to the SPV-A contract, the indictment alleges that the defendants schemed to defraud the Department of Defense with respect to the National Afghan Trucking (NAT) contract, which was a $984 million contract that required Anham to supply trucking services to the U.S. Military in Afghanistan. As with the SPV-A contract, the NAT contract required bidders to certify compliance with laws concerning sanctions placed on Iran. According to the indictment, rather than ship trucks to Afghanistan using legal but relatively expensive routes, the defendants conspired to cut costs by transporting vehicles through Iran. The indictment alleges that the defendants’ conduct violated laws prohibiting fraud, commercial activity with Iran, and international money laundering.

He suffers from reverse solipsism.

She makes a good beard.

If they want to hate a president for being anti-Israel, try Carter. Even Nixon, who disliked Jews on a personal basis, supported Israel for strategic reasons.

And in terms of racial superiority, here’s an article about a couple in a rural area of Germany who do not want “more cowbell.” Strangely, the article does not name or picture the plaintiffs, but I’m wondering just why anyone would choose to live in a country house and not expect or even welcome country sounds.

Ugh… I was going to use that one. Still good though!

Fantastic, the comment is the post.
Franklin Foer is the more competant brother of Jonathan Safran Foer, the “novelist” who wrote Everything Is Illuminated, and his fluffy but readable and reasonably factual book on map-type memorization, Moonwalking With Einstein, is worth a look. In the introduction he finds space for a digression on a typically “stereotype-destroying” Jewish bodybuilder.

Do you have any idea of the pain that I suffered when I read The Education of Henry Adams? Being reminded that America existed before my people arrived?

The Education of Henry Adams was a good book! Henry Adams was a much better writer than that horrible bastard Henry James. Henry James was an ugly rat who got back at the world for being created so ugly by writing crappy books.

The pain that many billionaire Jews will suffer will be when they are financially liquidated in the next round of the global financial implosion. Jew billionaires will not be bailed out the next time the global financial system implodes; neither will the WASP billionaires, nor any billionaires.

The wooden boat people will have to make deals with the steel boat people to advance and defend the interests of the European Christian ancestral core of the United States. Some of the steel boat people have done nothing but attack the European Christians who allowed them into the country.

Shelly Adelson and Mike Bloomberg and Marc Zuckerberg and many more of the anti-White and anti-Christian steel boat people will be removed from power and they will not be allowed to move to any other European Christian nation when they are expelled from the United States.

The wooden boat people understand that 1607 came before 1620 and the bastards who pranced down the gangplank in the 1620 crowd had nothing but money-grubbing on their mind. Don’t buy that “city upon a hill” horseshit for one second. You steel boat people ought to know that that was a bunch of propaganda slop cooked up by the kind of scum who bred the treasonous rat globalizers in the Bush Organized Crime Syndicate.

Since George H.W. Bush’s presidency, Republicans have become much more, almost unanimously, pro-Israel. Unfortunately, we’ve lost ground with the Dems — a lot. And that reallignment is not unrelated to the larger global context.

For it was easier to get worked up about Jews colonizing the West Bank thirty years ago, than it is now. Today we live in a new golden age of colonization in which Arabs (and many others) are fanning out and colonizing Europe, North America and Australia. And besides, Palestine, even more than America, has always been a country of immigrants.

This being the place that it is I demand to know the sample size of the poll that established what most Jews think.

The whole country will go to hell – no public services will work anymore, crime will be rampant, etc. but at least it will be OK to criticize Jews so it won’t be ALL bad!

This is Hart and Cellar’s utopia.

Since George H.W. Bush’s presidency, Republicans have become much more, almost unanimously, pro-Israel.

It’s the Fox News effect.

Hey, it could have been true. Never mind it wasn’t. It is a teaching moment.

My understanding is that the first prominent American Bush was Samuel Bush from Ohio, the father of Prescott Bush, the former without a formal higher education who worked his way into the burgeoning Railway business and who was considered a minor great Industrialist from that age.

Samuel’s grandfather’s brother George was prominent long before then.

The scion of an old colonial family, George Bush (1796-1859) was born in Norwich, Vermont, in 1796. After earning a degree from Dartmouth College, he was professor of Hebrew and Oriental literature at New York University from 1832 to 1846 and was, according to the Dictionary of American Biography, “prominent in his day as scholar, writer, and controversialist.”

He was once considered “one of the most profound and ingenious scholars of the present age,” and his over thirty volumes of polemic, biblical commentary, and interpretive history of religion enjoyed great popularity in the mid-nineteenth century. His views on the Hebrew language, the Jews, and their place in Christian society, and his statements about the possibility of a restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land, had considerable influence. Thus his books have to be taken into account in any evaluation of the early study of Hebrew and Judaism in America. They are equally important in tracing the roots of “Christian Zionism” in American Protestant circle.

This is why it’s important to always have some blacks at the highest level of foreign policy. They aren’t neocons or neocon approved. They are selected for diversity. The intention in picking them is bringing racial diversity but it ends up also bringing an outside perspective apart from the swamp. Powell, Rice, and Obama slowed down or stopped war with Iraq, Russia, and Iran respectively.

I agree, but they have to be liberal social activist types because black conservatives are compliant neocons (e.g.,Allen West, Tim Scott, Mia Love)

Poppy Bush was president when I was in high school. One thing I remember is that the only two Muslims I knew at the time — one a fellow student, the other a history teacher — both loved him, mainly for his real or perceived efforts at putting a leash on the Israelis.

I didn’t connect the dots at the time, but in hindsight, that explains a lot.

Ironically, The Atlantic is a good case study in Wasp decline. It was once an Uber Wasp and very American publication. Now it’s edited by Jeffery Goldberg and provides a platform for Ta-Nehisi Coates.

I noted the other day that the Red Belt of the Italian North is voting Le Lega. Now Red Andalucia is voting for the oddly(to an American)-named Vox, who won a dozen seats in elections on Sunday.

I don’t know anything about them, but the Guardian says they are “far-right” so they are probably sensible patriots. Apparently they want to build a wall, no word on who’s going to pay for it.

anti-semite: one who says what the Jews are doing

The monument attacks were ‘signed’ by anarchist leftists. I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the government were involved in dirty tricks to make the gilets jaunes look bad.

I watched one report from French TV of interviews with protesters. In one case they were being grilled about the lack of diversity among the protesters. The reporter sounded like she was trying to shame them.

“The face of modern conservatism.”

Conservative? He isn’t likely to even conserve his dong and balls.

What is “UU”?

Old slang for Jewish (shorthand, neutral.)

Writers in the 40s and 50s used UU a lot. Vidal was especially bombarded a lot by Paddy Chayefsky, who stiffed him and bugged him constantly though they were never (except once) on the same project.

Finally Vidal got curious and ask William Wyler what the bug up Paddy’s ass was. Wyler just laughed and said, “Paddy thinks movie writing is a Jews-only club, and you ain’t in it!”

How it is now I don’t know. But when Podhoretz called Vidal out as anti-Semitic for reporting things like that in print, he was either ignorant or (more probably) very, very dishonest.

Can we just get over labels like “racist” and “anti-Semitic,” which are used to imply that NOT being “racist” or “anti-Semitic” is more important than speaking the truth an acting on it?

The truth is that not all races have the same civilizational capacities. The truth is also that, while there are many wonderful and talented individual Jews, the influence of Organized Jewry is, on the whole, very harmful. There is indeed less of a feeling of noblesse oblige than had been the case with WASP leadership; public discourse has become increasingly coarse and divisive. Donald Trump epitomizes the coarseness, but he did not initiate it. Moreover, Organized Jewry has shown little respect for the historic US Constitution, and it has gotten the US involved in endless Middle East conflicts that do not benefit ordinary Americans. In this respect, being “anti-Semitic” is a moral duty and something of which one should be proud.

Not unless Jews caused Perot to run.

It could be said that Teddy Jr also died in action, albeit of a heart attack, and in July of 1944. He was the only general to land with the first wave on D-Day, the oldest man to land that day, at 56, and the only man whose son also landed that day. This was Quentin, named, of course, after his heroically fallen uncle.

Franklin Foer’s article drips with envy. Jews are upset that no matter how successful they become, they’ll never receive the same respect or love as the WASPs once did.

This 2003 article in the WSJ (by a Jew no less) speaks of WASP’s place in America, and why a country ruled by WASPs is better than that ruled by the current crop of “meritocrats”. Simply put, WASPs were morally upright and had class, meritocrats(aka Jews and scrappy whites like Irish/poor whites) are greedy, selfish, lack class:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-late-great-american-wasp-1387586625

The acronym WASP derives, of course, from White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, but as acronyms go, this one is more deficient than most. Lots of people, including powerful figures and some presidents, have been white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant but were far from being WASPs. Neither Jimmy Carter nor Bill Clinton qualified.

WASPs were a caste, closed off to all not born within it, with the possible exception of those who crashed the barriers by marrying in. WASP credentials came with lineage, and lineage—that is, proper birth—automatically brought connections to the right institutions. Yale, Princeton and Harvard were the great WASP universities, backed up by Choate, Groton, Andover, Exeter and other prep schools. WASPs tended to live in exclusive neighborhoods: on upper Park and Fifth Avenues in New York, on the Main Line in Philadelphia, the Back Bay in Boston, Lake Forest and Winnetka in Chicago.

So dominant was WASP culture that some wealthy families who didn’t qualify by lineage attempted to imitate and live the WASP life. The Catholic Kennedys were the most notable example. The Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port—the sailing, the clothes, the touch football played on expansive green lawns—was pure WASP mimicry, all of it, except that true WASPs were too upstanding to go in for the unscrupulous business dealings of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. or the feckless philanderings of him and some of his sons.

…To this day, the designer Ralph Lauren (né Lifshitz) turns out clothes inspired by his notion of the WASP high life, lived on the gracious margins of expensive leisure.

Much can be—and has been—written about the shortcomings of the WASPocracy. As a class, it was exclusionary and hence tolerant of social prejudice, if not often downright snobbish. Tradition-minded, it tended to be dead to innovation and social change. Imagination wasn’t high on its list of admired qualities.

Yet the WASP elite had dignity and an impressive sense of social responsibility. In a 1990 book called “The Way of the Wasp,” Richard Brookhiser held that the chief WASP qualities were “success depending on industry; use giving industry its task; civic-mindedness placing obligations on success, and antisensuality setting limits to the enjoyment of it; conscience watching over everything.”

Under WASP hegemony, corruption, scandal and incompetence in high places weren’t, as now, regular features of public life. Under WASP rule, stability, solidity, gravity and a certain weight and aura of seriousness suffused public life. As a ruling class, today’s new meritocracy has failed to provide the positive qualities that older generations of WASPs provided.

What our new meritocrats have failed to evince—and what the older WASP generation prided itself on—is character and the ability to put the well-being of the nation before their own. Character embodied in honorable action is at the heart of the novels and stories of Louis Auchincloss, America’s last unembarrassedly WASP writer. Doing the right thing, especially in the face of temptations to do otherwise, was the WASP test par excellence. Most of our meritocrats, by contrast, seem to be in business for themselves.

Trust, honor, character: The elements that have departed U.S. public life with the departure from prominence of WASP culture have not been taken up by the meritocrats. Many meritocrats who enter politics, when retired by the electorate from public life, proceed to careers in lobbying or other special-interest advocacy. University presidents no longer speak to the great issues in education but instead devote themselves to fundraising and public relations, and look to move on to the next, more prestigious university presidency.

A financier I know who grew up under the WASP standard not long ago told me that he thought that the subprime real estate collapse and the continuing hedge-fund scandals have been brought on directly by men and women who are little more than “greedy pigs” (his words) without a shred of character or concern for their clients or country. Naturally, he added, they all have master’s degrees from the putatively best business schools in the nation.

Thus far in their history, meritocrats, those earnest good students, appear to be about little more than getting on, getting ahead and (above all) getting their own. The WASP leadership, for all that may be said in criticism of it, was better than that.

The WASPs’ day is done. Such leadership as it provided isn’t likely to be revived. Recalling it at its best is a reminder that the meritocracy that has followed it marks something less than clear progress. Rather the reverse.

Arafat did what any sensible gentile did when offered a ‘good deal’ by Jewish opponent, ran a mile.

One of the problems we face is having so few sensible gentiles.

Bush and James Baker were urbane, worldly Texas oilmen who seemed to combine the worst of the Arabists and the Texans to the neocons.

In contrast, the neocons loved George W. Bush because he was a bumpkin state governor who didn’t know anything about the rest of the world and was willing to rely upon the neocons and neocon approved figures like Dick Cheney.

This is a good article on this topic from Slate 16 years ago, back when it was less crazy than it is now:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/04/the-bush-family-and-the-jews.html

George Herbert Walker Bush shared the same exclusionary pedigree as his father, starting with Yale and the secret society Skull & Bones, and had extensive ties to Arabs through the oil industry as well. But most Jews did not consider him unfriendly to their interests so long as he served under Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the first Republican in 80 years to win a sizable share of the Jewish vote. There were a variety of reasons for this, but the key issue was Reagan’s hard line on the defense of Israel, which he considered a crucial democratic outpost in the fight against Soviet communism. In the 1980 election, Jimmy Carter won 45 percent of the Jewish vote. Reagan won 39 percent.

That remarkable shift, however, began to be undone almost as soon as George H.W. Bush took over in 1989. Bush was a self-described pragmatist in international affairs, and in the giddy early days after the end of the Cold War, it was no longer fashionable to view the world in binary terms. As a result, many conservative ideological causes—among them Israel—no longer found a champion in the White House. The point was made most clearly when Bush demanded, in 1991, that the Israelis stop building new settlements in Palestinian-controlled territories. Unlike previous presidents, Bush sounded serious, threatening to block millions in loan guarantees if Israel disobeyed. (Later, when his re-election was in doubt in 1992, Bush promised to press Congress for the loan guarantees unconditionally.)

Just as damaging was the elder Bush’s knack for seeming as out of touch with Jewish voters as he did with everyone else. Once, during a 1991 White House press conference, Bush Sr. complained about the strength of the Jewish lobby on Capitol Hill—the implication being that “Jews work insidiously behind the scenes,” as David J. Forman wrote in the Jerusalem Post. On another occasion, Bush reminded his critics that the United States gives “Israel the equivalent of $1,000 for every Israeli citizen,” a remark that detractors took as an allusion to the stereotype of Jews as money-obsessed and greedy.

And then there was Secretary of State James Baker’s infamous “fuck the Jews” remark. In a private conversation with a colleague about Israel, Baker reportedly uttered the vulgarity, noting that Jews “didn’t vote for us anyway.” This was more or less true—Bush got 27 percent of the Jewish vote, compared with 73 percent for Dukakis, in 1988. And thanks in part to Baker, it was even truer in 1992, when Bill Clinton got 78 percent of the Jewish vote and Bush got only 15 percent—the poorest showing by a Republican candidate since Barry Goldwater in 1964.

There was nothing great about that war.

Even Nixon, who disliked Jews on a personal basis, supported Israel for strategic reasons.

On a personal basis, Nixon liked Jews. What he didn’t like was Jewish racial politics.

Since George H.W. Bush’s presidency, Republicans have become much more, almost unanimously, pro-Israel. Unfortunately, we’ve lost ground with the Dems — a lot. And that reallignment is not unrelated to the larger global context.

Who is “we”?

I think that opponents of mass immigration just don’t do enough to refute the pseudofacts circulated by the Chamber of Commerce-camp.

We can’t. We have no platform.

I’d also like to ask what’s up with the Gallup numbers cited in Congresswoman Jayapal’s manifesto of reality distortion, history revision and linguistic dissimulation.

They’re lies, like everything else used to “justify” immigration.

Carter did not show excessive attachment to Israel because he had the sagacity to retain the service and heed the advise of his brilliant National Security Advisor Samuel Huntington. In his seminal 1996 work Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Huntington warned against imposing western values of individuality, liberty and democracy on non-western countries by referring to them as “universal values”. In his equally prescient 2006 book Who Are We? he warned against over immigration and lack of assimilation esp. by Hispanic immigrants, and against allowing dual citizenship which enables citizens of other countries to push for policies that favor their home country at the expense of US interests, he even explicitly called out Israel. Both of these books should be must reads for all GOP members.

Huntington was a brilliant thinker and taught Government & Politics at Harvard for 50 years, starting at age 23 when he got his PhD. Kris Kobach was a protege of Huntington when he went to Harvard, and fully embraces Huntington’s political views. If Kobach ever gets into the WH, America will have a chance of survival. If not, we have no place to go but down. Trump is not draining the swamp, he is part of the swamp.

Vidal had a correspondence with Tim McVeigh while he was waiting to be executed . Vidal published selected letters in a short book . McVeigh had some views the role of gov’t that were worth a hearing .

This is Hart and Cellar’s utopia.

Because the more dysfunctional are Gentile groups and societies, the less appealing they are to Jews who may otherwise wish to join them and intermarry.

Both of these books should be must reads for all GOP members.

Are they difficult reads?

was there any nostalgia for GH though? his death barely made a blip on the internet, and adults around me barely said a word about him.

i see ann coulter made a similar observation.

Skimmed over the comments, so don’t know if people have mentioned it, and the article writers should realize this, but Bush, in his worst act as president, signed, and signed it quite approvingly, the horrible 1990 immigration expansion act. He could have vetoed it and rallied his party behind him, and probably not faced a Buchanan run in 1992 against him.

Gee that is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Huntington’s 1992 lecture at American Enterprise Institute one year after the first Gulf War outlined the new direction for the US and pointed to new enemy after the Cold War. He wrote what all think tanks already have been taking about and advocating thought out late 1980s.

“Huntington argues that the Islamic civilization has experienced a massive population explosion which is fueling instability both on the borders of Islam and in its interior, where fundamentalist movements are becoming increasingly popular. Manifestations of what he terms the “Islamic Resurgence” include the 1979 Iranian revolution and the first Gulf War. Perhaps the most controversial statement Huntington made in the Foreign Affairs article was that “Islam has bloody borders”. Huntington believes this to be a real consequence of several factors, including the previously mentioned Muslim youth bulge and population growth and Islamic proximity to many civilizations including Sinic, Orthodox, Western, and African.

Huntington sees Islamic civilization as a potential ally to China, both having more revisionist goals and sharing common conflicts with other civilizations, especially the West. Specifically, he identifies common Chinese and Islamic interests in the areas of weapons proliferation, human rights, and democracy that conflict with those of the West, and feels that these are areas in which the two civilizations will cooperate.”

“…Foer’s article drips with envy. Jews are upset that no matter how successful they become, they’ll never receive the same respect or love…”

They are not into being loved. If they were they wouldn’t have survived the 2000 years of diaspora. There is no room for compromise either. Their way or no way.

(5) Bush is deemed untrustworthy by the Lobby and a big risk to Israel as a second term president. Anti Bush campaign begins in NYT with weekly columns of Friedman and Safire. Bad economy meme is created.

(6). Useful idiot Ross Perot enters the race. The exact repeat of play from 1912 election when the incumbent Taft was denied reelection by the third party run of Teddy Roosevelt to elect Wilson. Clinton is elected and just like Wilson does everything Wall Street wants. Clinton deregulates banking and sets the course for the neoliberal globalization.

“Jewish Jocks” are what, athletic supporters for circumcised men? Some great comments on this article.

After reading those excerpts I gotta conclude: Huntington wasn’t very smart after all. Just another establishment thinker.

For shame .

If you do a google search for “Christmas tree” you do get a similar graphic.

Dumb for a President, and I don’t mean president of a ML baseball team. When he was at Yale he was present on campus for the beginning opposition to the Vietnam War. I don’t begrudge him dodging the war, but I do think the absence of any ‘lessons learned’ was a disgrace. Everybody knew it was a bad idea, almost instinctively.

I recall innumerable debates on the topic of whether it was a miscalculation or the inevitable outcome of the MIC. Not that they the debates ever got anywhere. But at least the ugliness of the practice of war was right out there. It could be avoided but not if you were of draft age.

Since Vietnam didn’t seem to register on Hillary, maybe most people came away with either nothing or the wrong lesson. I recall Hillary’s Munich moment, which came only a week after I swore I would never vote for anyone who cited Munich to justify anything.

What’s the lesson? I see it as ‘don’t go in without the level of background contained in the Pentagon Papers.’ Nothing really deep or grand, but what is the ethnic and political situation with a bit of history. And secondly, what sort of manpower is needed to occupy a country.

We all learned about Sunni and Shia and Kurd animosity. And we sent in Paul Brenner?? Well…the hell with it. We did Libya, and Syria was all teed up. Still is, although even our military is tired of losing. When us the last time you heard Assad’s name Not followed by ‘he murdered thousands of his own people’. And blather about barely lethal alleged gas attacks.

Frida maintained that her father was of Jewish descent but recent genealogical research shows that he wasn’t – he was German Lutheran.

McVeigh had some views the role of gov’t that were worth a hearing .

[eyeroll]

Vidal is only remembered by the Right as a pervert now, too bad. Jackie Onassis noted that Vidal’s nemesis Bill Buckley was a fag too. How soon we forget!

I’ve not heard that. He had a wife and son.

Chile and Spain are better places due to Pinochet and Franco.

The requirement to use the money to buy from US suppliers isn’t some huge string attached. We’re still giving Israel tons of top quality military equipment for free.

Six actually. A daughter died as a child.
