My very elderly social studies teacher in 1972 always refered to the Holy Land as Palestine. It was the first time I had ever heard that term. Then I was leafing through a geography book at my grandparent's home, and I saw the map of the Middle East, with Palestine clearly printed on that map. This has been an unexpected turn in the Trumpenstein script, but as the script gets weirder and weirder, nothing would surprise me. I thought the story about fights on the White House lawn was fake, at first. The rioting in Portland has stopped as if a switch was flipped. Perhaps they received notice from whoever pays them, that their summer break has started.
Donald, you've written about rotten cops who shoot dogs at the drop of a hat. My friend's co-worker had her Chihuahua killed last week by a cop. Her kids found a handgun...and naturally posted that fact of FB...which necessitated a visit from the city cops. When the cops entered their home, the dog grabbed the cop's pant leg...so he blew it away. NEVER post anything on FB that could draw cops like flies to **** (just don't use FB at all, imo). NEVER allow cops in your home. This happened in Salem Oregon.
Wow. What a disturbing story, Kris. And another indication that law enforcement is monitoring social media, as has become so prevalent in the UK. The First Amendment is supposed to protect us here. But most of the people don't care, and don't support it, anyway. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing too that the people search sites show links to all of the major social media sites when you do a people search. Almost everything about your life and affiliations is posted on those sites. Your personal and private info has all been linked together. Grateful I didn't sign up for Facebook, etc. Those social media sites must be sharing and/or selling data to data brokers to have emails, phone numbers, etc linked to your name on the people search sites.
Salem, Oregon. There's the problem. Oregon permits continuous riots to occur in their major city but then shoots tiny rat like dogs that tug on a pant leg.
Keep me the hell out of that shit hole of a state.
Absolutely correct. It is hellish to live here. I'm only here living in the family homestead to prevent my siblings from selling it. My place has increased in value to remarkable heights, since my dad bought it in 1974. The fact that my siblings can't force a sale, frustrates them no end. It's crazy to trade valuable land for fiat dollars. My three sisters are the wokest of woke liberals, who believe Oregon is paradise, and pretty much hate Christians. Because none of my siblings do social media, I haven't a clue about what's going on in their lives. The only good thing I can say about Oregon laws, is that to extract a family member from a family property by force, is pretty much impossible, if that person has lived there for years and improved the property. Even squatters have major rights. The sale of the old Shriner's hospital in Portland was held up for years because a homeless man had built a plywood shack on the property.
I deal with living here by trying not to interact as much as possible. There are some really nice places to go for the day; the beach, mountains or desert; and I can do that without interacting. I bring my own food, and passing someone on a trail is about as much interaction as I can take. The folks who ruined Oregon, are not those from hardy pioneer stock. They are carpetbaggers from California and East Coast Jews who started flocking here in the seventies. Our current governor is a lesbian Jew from the East Coast. Oregon was the first state to go to all-mail voting. We haven't had a real election since then.The Democrat Machine is so ubiquitous in their corruption, they don't even bother to hide it these days. Btw, Happy Juneteenf, everybody. I want you to ax yourselves if you are properly grateful we now have a holiday celebrating ghetto accents.
Kris, sorry to hear about your siblings wanting to sell off the homestead. Unfortunately it's far to common. People have lost their sense of tradition and pride in ones of prior generations.My great aunt swindled away and sold the family farm in easter washinton. I was a tad to young to fight for it at the time. Over 125 years of blood, sweat and tears was sold off to who knows who. The first thing the new owners did was bulldoze the house my great-great grandfather built.
So hopefully you can stand up and keep your homestead in the family somehow.
Don, Great article as always and sorry for being off topic but I couldn't resist.
Condolences. What a horrible story. I can understand how much that must hurt. May I ask what is the closest town to your former property?
The inexplicable thing about my sibling's behavior, is that a year ago one sold her home in St. Petersburg FL for $740,000. and a few years before that another sister sold her Seattle home for close to $800,000. There is a ten acre family farm on the Oregon Coast that both of these two could live for free on for the rest of their lives (I was cut out of that will)...but STILL, they attempted to force me out of the home I have worked on for years. The palm, almond, tulip and Chinese Empress trees I stuck in the ground were less than two feet tall. They are now flourishing 30 foot plus trees. That is why I stick it out here, even though I hate the lunacy and the political climate. Jesus said in the Last Days your worst enemies would be in your own family. I find that to be true in my case.
The farms were in the Colfax area. Most anyone traveling to WSU would end up driving by the main one.
While Oregons politics is definitely on the wrong track, the wife and I found a town (the Dalles) that still puts up American flags lining the main streets for holidays, has an honest to goodness Christmas parade each year and a ton of professional grade fireworks shows at the 4th
Thanks. I did live in Washington for two and a half years. I have friends in The Dallas, and it is very different from the craziness in the Willamette Valley...most eastern Oregon towns are still great, but the statewide laws are a danger to all Oregonians. I remember seeing that fireworks show in 1972, so it goes back many decades.
To Hunter- a lot of us lost the lands that our ancestors worked . I am old now so the loss does not hurt as much. We all ought to have a beer together some day !
Kris- I always look forward to your astute observations and opinions. They reflect to us common folks the pathetic state to which our countries have fallen. (I are from Canuckistan). Your last sentence in this comment is a gem.
I remember Bill Bowerman, Steve Prefontaine and their great runners. In the late 60s USMC I wound up at a military hospital and the docs let me out to see Steve Prefontaine run at Van Cortlandt park in the Bronx, NY. I think Bill Bowerman would be stunned at all the jerks running the state of Oregon.
Washington State seems just as screwed up. I grew up on the streets of a blue collar Brooklyn, NY area.
Unfortunately, I live within walking distance of Nike World Headquarters...and it keeps growing like the blob from hell. I have never bought a pair of Nikes for myself, athletic shoes are definitely not my style. I did have a pair for school though. I was a kid from the sticks who moved from one of the smallest high schools in the state, to the forth largest in 1975.
I told my dad that the new school ordered me to bring shoes for gym. We drove about two miles away to a tiny storefront, and we bought a pair of gym shoes. The next day at school in the locker room, all the girls gathered around me, oohing and ahhing over my new Nikes. I had never heard of Nikes...I had no idea what all the fuss was about. It turned out, that tiny store was Nike's first retail shop.
I really hope and pray Greater Idaho comes to fruition.
Nike, the true benefactor of the Oregon Ducks athletics program. Without Nike, the Duckies would be just like the poor Beavers in Corvalis. No conference and irrelevant. Money makes a big difference, doesn't it?
I hate the Oregon Ducks and their ever changing fancy uniforms. I mean, their school colors are green and yellow but they wear black, silver, pink and all kinds of colors not associated with their school. I hope they never get a National Championship just to stick it to Nike's big money and being part of the Big-10 almost entirely guarantees a championship will never happen. Love it.
It is sickening the perks that Nike has gotten in Oregon. They were able to have secret negotiations with the City of Beaverton to create a patchwork map, in which Nike has become a non-city island surrounded by people who pay city property tax. They now save at least $600,000. in property tax a year. How they did this was to force us folks nearby into the city. In 2004 we formed a group to attempt to stop this ...but they had already made up their minds...we never had a chance. My dad bought our property to have livestock, and we did, right up until we were forced into city zoning. Yet when Nike started a huge new expansion, Beaverton let them annex OUT six acres from the city limits. Like Donald always writes about, the wealthy don't have to follow the rules that smash the rest of us. During this scandal some whistle-blowers leaked the Beaverton mayor's emails, in which he bragged about the fraudulent annexations: "It's so nice to be king!" I'm pretty sure Nike paid a lot of bribe money for this treatment.Yet he was re-elected, only to be followed by our next mayor, who exited office by arrest for having kiddy porn on his computer. This is the slime that gets elected in Oregon.
The Oregon legislature passed a deal giving Nike billions of dollars of income tax exemptions for 30 years. I can't pass that place without raging, so I just try to forget about it. Since I don't follow sports, I don't get reminded much, and I avoid that road.
To Cankerpuss-thanks for the news on the Oregon Ducks. I quit following track and field after getting out of the USMC. I served with a good guy from Portland, Oregon and many funny stories. About one month ago I started watching You Tubes on track and field. I saw a lot of Oregon runners.
These runners probably have no idea what you have arrived at. I saw one race where Oregon was wearing pink.
I now will look differently at how I see these Ducks.
To Kris- very interesting story about the Nike shoes. In high school 1960s I remember someone getting me a pair from Blue Ribbon Sports (which I think is Bowerman-? pre Nike). I was running in very heavy sneakers low cut type.
Yes, Blue Ribbon shoes were from the first company Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight founded together. I have another Nike shoe story from 1980. My sister's boyfriend worked on the loading dock at the downtown Portland post office. He announced to myself and my three sisters that a shipment of women's Nikes had been damaged, and he retrieved them from the dumpster...did we each want two pairs? We all did. I took mine to GI Joes (a sporting and outdoor store) got store credit and used it to buy a cassette recorder. The shoes were worth 20 bucks a pair. Later it turned out Marvin had stolen the shoe shipment from the mail. He did not get fired (no surprise).
My sister broke up with him about a year later He broke into her apartment, and she broke a bottle over his head, which, I guess, scared him away. Last year I remembered him, and out of curiosity I started googling. He is now in the Big House in Oregon, serving a long stint for kidnapping and attempted murder. Apparently, he broke into a former girlfriend's home and held her hostage for three days, occasionally beating her unil part of her skull was crushed. This woman somehow managed to get a cryptic text to her daughter (he was monitoring her phone) and the daughter called the cops for a welfare check. When the cops showed up, Marvin fled out the backdoor , but they caught him. Our family used to joke that he was crazy...and it turned out he really was. So the only two pairs of Nikes I owned as an adult, I got rid of immediately. For me, the most entertaining thing about the Internet, is finding out whatever happened to folks I used to know.
There you go again with logic and reason. It’s why I’ve actually never created a social media account unless you count this platform as social media. I understood the agenda from the beginning which is it’s a spying and tracking app across the mainstream social media platforms. They know everything about you and who you interact with. The cops even can track your Google Maps data when searching for criminal suspects. Imagine driving by a murder scene unknowingly not even with the maps app navigating then getting a no knock warrant executed on your home just because you unknowingly drove by a crime scene? I also found out the last couple of years that the ring doorbell cameras can be tapped into by the police without your permission or knowledge. No thanks.
Here’s how much I despise surveillance. On Saturday I moved to a neighboring state for a new job. I searched up the flock cameras per https://maps.deflock.org prior to making a trip to Lowes Home Improvement. Wouldn’t you know both entrances had flock cameras after you turn into the parking lot. Well there is a grocery store next door without flock cameras so I decided to park there and walk over so I wouldn’t be entered into their database.
I wish people would do this at the airport and opt out of the face scans and cancer creation scanning machines. There is even a sign at the TSA agent ID check stations telling you the face scan is optional and the sheeple blindly obey and don’t even read the sign. After I refuse the face scan I then refuse the cancer machine and ask to opt out. Then the literal molestation begins via the pat down but it’s better than complying. If everyone refused to comply at the airports they’d get rid of these systems as the flights would be delayed and now we’re talking real money. TSA has zero to do with terrorism but rather everything to do with tracking citizens to keep us in line to condition us for the surveillance state.
A few years ago, I spent a week in Pennsylvania and New York on family business. Flew out of Buffalo to come home. When I got to the facial scanning line, I noticed two things:
1. The sign said it was optional and no one was required to submit to it.
2. Everyone in front of me submitted to it without a peep of protest.
I did not. When my turn came up, the man gestured at the camera and told me to stand in front of it. I told him that I was going to opt out and refused. In an irritated manner, he told me that he would have to log in all my information by hand and I told him to do what he had to do. Two minutes later, I was on my way, without surrendering my position at all.
I recently flew to Atlanta. I did the facial scan. I saw nothing anywhere that stated the facial scan was optional. Had I seen something I would have opted out of it.
I flew 2-3 weeks ago and it was a small sign where the TSA agent takes your ID at the photo area. I would not doubt if they are starting to remove the signs to condition people to think you don’t have an option. Most don’t realize you can also opt out of the scanning machines and ask for a pat down since there has never been a sign saying you can opt out of that.
My job hasn't yet led me out of the country, though once I was requested to take a bush plane to the outbacks of Alaska to fix some equipment, which would have required a Canadian flyover. I was busy doing something else and have still not ever been outside the lower 48. I will never go into an airport and take a flight though, ever again, and have not done so since the draconian 2001 TSA creation. I will drive my own or a rental car anywhere I need to be, no matter how long it takes. My own brother pilots American Airlines planes all over the world but I've never told him I won't get on one.
I met a retired air traffic controller a few years ago who refused to fly at all. He drove everywhere because of what he has seen from his decades of experience in the industry. Not very comforting.
Don't just provide "a friend of my friend said....." anecdotes that mean nothing. Tell us what he said. Why was it that he refused to fly? Specifics. Give us specifics.
Why? You do realize that rental cars have geo-tracking devices installed on them and they can track wherever you travel? In fact, most modern cars today can be tracked. Cars do offer more convenience but if your looking for privacy, they are no more private than air travel.
Very well said, Right Side. Last night I was trying to explain Substack to a friend who had never heard of it. I said it is kind of a social media site, but for more intelligent people who like to read and are interested in ideas, as opposed to regular social media which is loved by stupid people with low self-esteem who must constantly be getting "likes" so they can feel good about themselves.
Here's a true story I believe happened last year. An idiot migrant was picked up by ICE after he posted on FB he was headed to Home Depot.
Yeah although I feel like this is a controlled sandbox echo chamber now. I want to reach and wake up the normies but 90% of what I write here via comments would be censored so it’s difficult to get through.
I have but it’s been by the owner of the channel or my comments go into this deleted comments section where you can still sort of see them if you click on them but I guess they are hidden from others?
' Her kids found a handgun...' and that was just 'naturally' posted on a social medium site? (I don't know what FB is.) Never thought of handing it in to a police station? Or calling the police to where the gun was found to make enquiries? Strange. But, doing any of that in America would be unwise I agree but not expressed in the post.
FB is Facebook. They are migrant kids, and it was really stupid behavior to post finding the gun. However, I find ALL kids to be severely mentally handicapped these days.
I don't understand why people can't see that the Jews have a right to be upset and apprehensive when folks gently rebuke them for the murdering, torturing, and imprisonment of innocent children, women, and unarmed old men. Can't they see that it is a very short step from talk like that to the Nazis heating up the furnaces again? This article really kicked it, Don, thank you.
first thing the jewish bolsheviks did when they took over Russia was to make aunty semightism a capital offense. death penalty. they are slowly working towards that in the US. something never brought up was israel was founded by jewish communists from Russia and Poland.
those bolshevik founders were in their 50-60's which puts them in their prime in Russia involved in the killing of 60 million Christian Russians. Polish jews were killing Germans in Poland by the scores on land stolen from Germany after WWI. so the people knee deep in blood during one of the biggest mass killing in world history founded israel. is it any wonder what they are doing to the people around them?
this is a glimpse into the jewish mind. 100 years ago maurice samuel wrote a book...you gentiles. here is a quote.. we jews are destroyers and we will remain destroyers forever. nothing you can do can meet our demands.
now think of the worlds economy being destroyed cause of israel
"Well, it’s a trick. We always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic... And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as antisemitic and to bring up the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people."
It's more than the economy that's being destroyed: it's our humanity... The fact that people are either cheering on genocide for 'religious' reasons or cowering silently even though they understand that they're next is testimony to the fact they we have lost our souls. In the words of Palestine's great friend Max Igan: 'The way of Palestine will be the way of the world.'
SPQR- Trotsky's favorite word was "liquidate". I am old and many years back read dozens of books and hundreds of papers about the rise of Communism in Russia. I think what the Communists did and who the organizers were is becoming better known now. I hope so.
This war is not over. Those who own this country are not about to give up their power and wealth. The United States is in the crapper, but it hasn't been flushed yet.
Semite, obsolete term, popularized in the 19th century, that originally described a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages that includes Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, and Tigrinya, among others. The term was later used in an ethnic sense, even though there has never been a shared Semitic identity among Semitic-speaking peoples.
I agree they are imposters, using religion as a vehicle for their evil Zionist agenda. They call their agenda Greater Israel. It is a coverup a subterfuge for their terrorism to become the New world Order. They will fail.
There is just one issue with non-semites not receiving the promise of God. We remember the story of Rahab and we remember the story of Ruth as well. They were Incorporated into the world and tribes of the semites through adopting the faith and marriage . So, based on this example, if one of the non-semite Europeans truly took on the faith of the Jews and mingled with them, they could also be heirs to that promise made to Abraham. After all, Christ came from the line of Ruth.
"if one of the non-semite Europeans truly took on the faith of the Jews and mingled with them, they could also be heirs to that promise made to Abraham."
You've got the entire Abrahamic covenant all wrong. First of all the Abrahamic covenant applies to ALL OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. The House of Israel consists of the 12 tribes of Israel, 13 if you count Ruben who lost the birthright to Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Mannasseh.
The bible talks about these 12 tribes dividing into two kingdoms. The northern Kingdom had 10 tribes, the southern Kingdom had 3 tribes (Judah, Benjamin and Levi).
Due to wickedness and idolatry the northern kingdom was destroyed and the 10 tribes were taken captive by the Assyrian empire.
The southern kingdom fell to the Babylonians about 200 years later.
The Babylonians let the descendants of Judah return to Jerusalem but the Assyrians never permitted the 10 northern tribes to return to Jerusalem. Instead, over the centuries the 10 northern tribes migrated north and west eventually settling in the Baltic regions, Germania, Gaul, Britannia and Scandinavia. The foundations of the white western nations we have today. It is through THESE nations and the THESE people that the blessings of technology and constitutional governments have come to the world. It is through THESE nations that the covenants of God to Abraham have been fulfilled.
The tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi do not exist anymore, having been bred out of existence by endless racial mixing and migrations of people.
The Jews today are not the same people who were considered "JUS" of 2000 years ago during Christ's time. Judea at the time was a rabid miasma and political hot bed of various cultures and it was a complete and utter mess. So bad that the Romans decided to utterly destroy Judea around 70 AD and they did so, quite effectively.
Do not conflate the modern Jews with those ancient Jus who were of the House of Israel. The House of Israel is NOT the Jews and does NOT include them. Period. The true House of Israel is ALL of the 13 tribes, their descendants and those who are adopted in through obedience to Christ's words. The House of Israel are the Christians and all those who choose to follow Christ.
All this biblical mumbo jumbo hinges on the facts. The fact is Modern Israel is a construct for a terrorist Zion ideology. These zionists hold none of the commandments, infact they continue to violently break them all. Any Promise is invalidated by that. These international criminals hope to have world dominion though they are a very tiny minority. They refuse to even try to get along with their neighbors. Therefore they present an all or nothing Position. They deserve And will get Nothing except eradication. That appears to be their choice! Hoping for another chance to play the victim charade. They are terrorists, they refuse every attempt at peace, International law, and they fail completely at upholding their supposed faith. As those who do profess Judaism despise Zionism and are persecuted for such . As for Christian Zionists like Mike Huckabee. You can hold any belief you want but it was Jews who arranged for the crucifixion of Jesus. The Schofield Bible is a crime, a hoax, a lie. Incidentally I follow no organized religion as they are just Human Constructs, a method to seek power and control over masses, essentially little different than Statist Government.
"You can hold any belief you want but it was Jews who arranged for the crucifixion of Jesus."
By that statement you are insinuating that the Jews of today are the same people as the "Jus" that inhabited Judea during the time of Christ, 2000 years ago (the term Ju was given to residents of Judea by the Romans to define their residency).
Wrong, friend. Ancient Judea was a political hot bed of various cultures, a miasma of immigrants, natives and refugees. The Romans attempted to control the mess but ultimately resorted to literally wiping Judea off the face of the planet around AD 70. They did so and did so quite effectively. If there were any true descendants of the Tribe of Judah at that time they were either killed or sent off to other nations where they interbred and effectively destroyed the blood line of Judah.
After the sacking of Judea the cities were eventually re-built but were populated by new cultures, new people, new religions.
The "jews" today are not the same people as the "Jus" of 2000 years ago. Not even close. The only thing they have in common is the "Jus" of 2000 years ago hated Christ and his teachings, choosing murderers over him. The Jews of today also hate Christ, his teachings and his people. There is one unifying evil force behind all of this and that is Satan. The eternal enemy of Christ. What does that say about the Jews of today? I think you already know.
Oh I agree with you totally about what has been done to little tiny Israel. It's much like what has been done to the United states. Some terrible Sinister Force, as Joe Kent. put it, has taken over our government and is spouting a strange kind of Zionism as well. I wonder what happened to the verse in the Bible where the God tells the Israelites to be kind to the alien among them? It seems to have been completely forgotten. Our nation comes under just as much scrutiny and judgment in these last days. Sad times!
DEFAMATION - Official Trailer 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJo7LhSPJaY Goggle AI Overview: In the 2009 documentary Defamation (Hashmatsa), The film follows Israeli high school students on organized educational youth trips to Holocaust concentration camp sites in Poland (such as Auschwitz and Majdanek).The purpose of these trips is to educate the younger generation about the realities of the Holocaust. However, the film explores a controversial underlying theme: how these institutions use Holocaust education to instill a profound sense of fear, alienation, and perpetual victimhood in Israeli youth. The documentary suggests this conditioning is used to justify Israeli government policies and maintain a cultural focus on past trauma.
Don, I am sure you will be interested in this short clip. It pertains to Catholics and anti-Semitism. The Zionist pastor at the end of the video, (not Catholic), lies and states that God has an "everlasting covenant" with the Jews thru promises made to Abraham. But in Galatians the third chapter the Apostle Paul states that the "Christians inherit the promises God made to Abraham". The clip demonstrates the Catholic standing in true faith, and the Zionist preacher exposing himself as anti Christ. The Zionist Jews in the video are...well I don't want to say. Thanks for the great read.
Lickyouallover, see my post above. God's promises were to the House of Israel which consisted of 12 tribes (13 if you consider Ruben). 12 distinct tribes. Not one. 12! It really gets my panties in a wad when supposed experts claim the Jews of today are those chosen people. They are not! The Christians are! The Christian nations are the House of Israel. Great Britain is the tribe of Ephraim. The USA is the tribe of Mannasseh. Denmark is the tribe of Dan. Holland is the tribe of Zebulon. And so forth.
Modern day Jews are imposters and are not the House of Israel. Thank you for quoting Paul's epistle to the people of Galatia.
It is through the Christian nations of the world that God's promises to Abraham have come forth and those Christian nations are the true House of Israel.
"We have a “right to exist,” but you don’t. No one else does."
Remember... the non-Jewish aren't considered human by many of that faith. So of course we don't have a right to exist. We're not human. We don't have souls.
"...the cover of Madonna’s record album Madame X has the photo of an old Corona typewriter on it. In other words, she was messaging the Corona Virus in 2019. And when you open up the cover like opening up a book, there in clear view is Madonna’s private part with legs spread for you to see it.
Go on YouTube and you probably can find the video of her singing “Future” with the dancers wearing gas masks dying all around her, symbolizing COVID deaths. The elites just get an orgasm when they can mock us and flaunt they have special inside knowledge on us.
I have a copy of the album to save to show people what elites knew about COVID beforehand.
Ugh. How could JFK, Jr. have slept with her? As I related in "Masking the Truth," Madonna also tweeted out some coded nonsense about her Corona typewriter right after creepy Tom Hanks did. Thanks, John.
JFK couldn't have slept with Madonna, given that she was four years old when he died and he was not a talmidist. I think you meant Marilyn Monroe, who was not an "ugh" for most males..
We all may have souls but some humans were created to be lesser human beings.
Christ often referred to "dogs" and "swine." He wasn't talking about innocent animals. He was talking about lower humans. He was referring to humans not of the Adamic (ruddy, blushing) race.
I believe there were other human races on the Earth at the time of Adam's creation. Adam was the penultimate human creation. He was God's final creation of man. All other races of man on the Earth were forbidden to Adam's posterity and were to be ruled over by Adam's posterity.
The word "Adam" is, I believe, a Hebrew word that means "red, ruddy, or the ability to blush." There is only one race on the planet that blushes and I think you know which race that is. This races sells itself short, engages in self destruction and does not understand how divine and cherished they truly are.
I thought all humans are actually animals including the Jews of course. It;s easy to see by just comparing at our bodily make up/functions with animals.
I grew up in a Baptist Church in which we were carefully taught about all of the things concerning the end times and Israel's role in it. We were taught just exactly what the scripture says, that all nations would turn against her in the end times and cause God to take action to save a Remnant (and it will be a small remnant) of his people there in that nation. The Bible indicates that only one third of the Jews living in Israel at this time will be spared from the coming Great War of Gog and Magog mentioned in Ezekiel 48 and 49. As young people we would look at each other and ask aloud why would every single nation turn against little Israel. It made no sense. Little did we know that, just as in the past, their sorrows would be brought upon them by their own actions. We could not foresee that due to their actions against the people in Gaza and Lebanon and others around them that show such brutality and lack of mercy would be the cause of every single nation in the world being against her in the end. That we never foresaw... but here it is right in front of us. We are truly in the end times and Israel has a very horrible time of judgment coming. Of course, so do we for all the atrocities that we have committed.
I saw a humorous sticker on a car the other day. It said, " Jesus is coming again.. and this time he's pissed". I had to laugh. We all need to buckle up. Times are about to get very interesting.
Most all, 501C tax exempt "churches" do not understand that the sandbox in the ME, and it's murderous inhabitants are not Israel. Israel was never a land mass, but the name given to Jacob, renamed Israel, and his heirs. These "non-Shemites" inhabiting Palestine do not represent the true Israelites. We are the true Hebrew, Shemite people, to whom the promises pertain. The murderous lot know who their father (little f) is. Those who do not wake up are doomed as 2/3 will perish.
Perhaps I do it too often and I hope you will let me know if I do. I find your writing to be some of the best I have encountered. Thank you for all you do!
I LOVE that bumper sticker!!! I hope I can find one. I've known we were/are in the End Times since 1990 ( the nineties were the run-up). However I disagree with evangelical interpretations of Bible prophecy.
John, I have been studying religious prophecy for 35 years. I have watched as these things have unfolded. The prophecies I refer to are not some vague, one-size-fits-all tv preacher bs. In my research Orthodox Christian monks have delivered astoundingly accurate little bits of off-the-wall-prophecy...such as people abandoning having children and treating pets as their children. I watched this happen in my own lifetime. I got my first dog (as opposed to family dog) a dalmatian, in 1979 (coincidentally the year 101 Dalmatians was re-released, so my dog got a lot of attention). Anyone back then who treated their dog as best buddy, was considered a kook. I took so much flack traveling with my dog (including flying) it was unbelievable. Howard Johnson's in Vero Beach Florida called the cops on me and padlocked my room door...merely on the SUSPICION that my dog had entered the room (1982). If I could have looked ahead 40 years and seen folks calling their dogs and cats "fur babies", grand-dogs (grand-dogs are mentioned in obituaries these days) and themselves "pet parents" ...it would have seemed like the wildest fantasy. Now, how could monks on Mount Athos, 400 years ago be able to see this happening in End Times? No one without an agenda can call this a coinkydink.
Orthodox End Time prophecy is closely followed by various Catholic Mystic's prophecies, for spot on accuracy. I have never found an evangelical End Time prophecy that has come true. They may be out there...but I haven't seen it
JoJo, it's extremely refreshing to find a person who actually understands Scripture posting a comment on this highly controversial (and highly misunderstood) subject. I LOVED your comment! I've never been a Baptist (nor have I ever been a member of *any* mainstream Christian denomination), but my all-time favorite preacher is Adrian Rogers; I believe I mentioned him to you once before - about a year or so ago. Although I certainly do not agree with *everything* that the Baptist minister "Mr. Rogers" stated, he obviously had quite a Divine gift for preaching The Word! (One thing that made him stand out to me was his wonderful sense of humor.)
When it comes to language, my two biggest pet peeves are:
#1) People who say or write "I could care less".
#2) People who, having no real understanding of Scripture, quoting the "synagogue of satan" verse and applying it to all of the so-called "Jews" in the 21st Century. (Based upon your comment above, I feel certain that you understand my meaning here.)
Again... thank you for being a true voice of knowledge hereabouts!
Great piece. You wrote, "Zionism cannot be intellectually defended. All its proponents can do is hysterically shout nasty names at you." That's exactly the same thing with radical leftists, which these days are really extreme socialists. Both will not question their ideology or methods because deep down they know it is just a hidden form of brute power. So it looks like its going to be an eye vey for an eye vey...
Any Christian who supports this zionist crap has shunned the Holy Gospels. The Prince of PEACE clearly and unequivocally foretold the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem. In 70 AD, this is exactly what happened ("no stone unturned").
Old Covenant judaism was ended by Christ's fulfillment on the cross("it is finished"- John 19:30). Anyone who has rejected the Son of God lives in rebellion. Sadly, many evangelicals fall into this category by ignoring the outright hostility of Jesus by followers of an outdated religion.
Our Father , by way of the Son, turned unholy Jerusalem, and Israel and Judea, into dust. The New Jerusalem is the home for saved souls while Jesus became the new Israel.
Would you describe the USA as an artificial megastate created by stealing land belonging to others? Or, because since the theft occurred well before the creation of Israel, the statute of limitations precludes that description? As a Jew who avidly deplores Netanyahu and Gvir (what are you giving him an A for, monstrousness?) I have trouble seeing where I belong in the Jeffries view of the world? What about all the Jews who detest Ben Shapiro?
Sure, people can make the argument that we stole land from the Indians, John. I've written about the atrocities committed against the native Americans. But I think that was a bit different. It was in the age of exploration, and the Americas had large areas that were not occupied by anyone. I'm glad you oppose Israel's warlike aggressiveness. Didn't know I misspelled Gvir's name- it was spelled like that online. I'm usually such a good speller.
I am a civil libertarian, and respect the free speech of everyone. Even Mark Levin has the right to express himself. Everyone fits into my "view of the world," whatever that is. I'd like the persecution complex to be healed. I'd like Zionism to be repudiated, as it has been by most of the world. All people- including Bibi- have a right to exist. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have a right to exist in my backyard. That's the larger point here. Both Trump and Vance appear to have pissed off the non-Irish and evangelical faithful. We'll see what happens. As Ben Franklin said, there is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace.
As for the persecution complex...I find it distasteful myself, and absolutely reject the idea that, in view of "our" having been brutalized, our brutalizing others must be condoned. At the same time, a casual reading of your own comments threads make unmistakable that there's still lots of antisemitism (in the pre-Netanyahu sense, of hatred of all things Jewish) afoot. Is it entirely unreasonable to feel a little...nervous in the presence of foaming-at-mouth bigots like SPORTSBRA afoot? Do I for a millisecond believe that such nervousness justifies the brutalization of the Palestinians? I certainly do not.
You make a valid point, John. But where's the line between genuine, irrational hatred of Jews, and a reaction to the collective persecution complex and the angry entitlement? I mean, how much more of a lapdog would Trump have to be, and now they're mad at him? Thanks.
I think I understand. I repudiate the persecution complex, but by virtue of my DNA, I am assumed to be all in for everything unattractive about my ethnicity. Here in the UK, a gay schoolteacher was sentenced to life imprisonment this past week for having raped and then stangled his adopted infant son. He was white. So are you. If.I follow your argument, because you are of the same ethnicity as the referenced monster, I should have no qualms about hating and fearing you?
You're missing my point, DJ. You regularly imply that Jews (the non-Irish, as though there aren't Irish Jews) are monolithic. Or maybe that's too harsh. Let's say you don't actively imply it, but simply fail to make a distinction between Zionists and Jews who deplore Zionism. In so doing, you tacitly validate the moronic bigotry of the likes of SPORTSBRA. At such moments, I find your libertarianism morally indefensible.
As for the stolen lands thing, your implication is that the much lower population density on the North American continent and the fact that...everybody in western Europe was doing it (claiming other people's countries as their own (because, anticipating the Steven Miller formulation, might makes right), and then brutalizing those countries' original inhabitants) somehow indemnifies America.
You've read enough of my work to understand where I'm coming from. Of course not all Jews support Zionism. But recent polls indicate that about 82% of Israelis support the genocide in Gaza, and 47% want to take it all the way, wiping out the whole population. We could say the same thing about Black people- not all of them embrace and defend ghetto culture. But too many of them do. Thanks.
You're being disingenuous. Since when do Israelis represent all Jews? You don't speak of Zionist Jews or right-wing Israeli Jews, but of the non-Irish. The obvious inference is that you believe that the genocide-supporters in Israel represent my views, and the views of millions of other Jews. They do not, and I have every confidence that you know it. Your disinclination to make that distinction is morally irresponsible.
Regarding your point about Black people. Because "too many" embrace ghetto culture, all blacks should be held responsible? Too many white Americans insist on believing that The Abomination is a viable president. By your reasoning, should I look at all whites as gullble morons?
John, Israel is causing all the trouble, not American Jews. Thus, a poll like that showing the vast majority of Israelis support it is revealing. If you said all Whites were gullible morons, I wouldn't be offended. Too many are. Thanks.
My saying that all whites are gullible morons would be a moronic statement .Take the late Stephen Hawking, and the late Christopher Hitchens!
All I'm saying is that there's a substantial difference between "The non-Iriish..." and "Many non-Irish." The latter acknowledges that we, like white morons and whte geniuses, come in all shapes and sizes. The former suggests that we are monolithic. Not acknowledging the diversity in a group of people is a crucial first step for those who might wish to demonize those people.
'... fail to make a distinction between Zionists and Jews who deplore Zionism.'
Who and where are they? I have never heard any deploying of Zionism by Jews. Of course there must be such people but seemingly hiding their lights under bushels or are the Zionists cleverly making them invisisble?
Look up "deploy", Dennis. If you're unaware of the very large percentage of Jews like myself, who deplore the brand of Zionism currently practiced by Israel, I can only suggest that you get out more often.
There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jews. Glenn Greenwald does great work. Keaton Weiss, who I have appeared on podcasts with, is very critical of Israel. Max Blumenthal, etc. I'm just pointing out that too many Jews (and I think it is a majority) support Israel no matter what, out of tribalistic loyalty.
According to Google AI, "Approximately 28% to 32% of American Jews approve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with recent polling indicating that 67% to 68% of Jewish American voters hold an unfavorable view of his leadership." So enough with the accusation of tribality, OK?
Let's say, just for the fun of it, that it's 51 for Israel, and 49 appalled by Israel. For even more fun let's say't 73 percent for, and 27 percent appalled. It's still incumbent on you to stop implying, with the non-Irish trope, that we're monolithic. That does those me and those invoked a grave disservice.
I am in the UK and we do get biased views from the BBC, newpapers, which I don't see or read as they hide any anti govt news and a Talk Radio station also of bent info.. There is a TV station here called GBNews which doesn't fear showing great opposition to the boat migrants, migrant crime statistics and other stories showing up the UK govt. propaganda. This is a TV show which would show any Jewish opposition to Zionism but I haven't seen any.. As you probably know there is about 150,000 Jews here most in a suberb of London called Golders Green. There quite a lot of that news telling how some of those Jews are frightened of what could happen to them in London. Never have I heard any Jew there point out what Israel is doing is wrong. It is difficult to believe that view is totally cut out. There are some news shots of Palestinian marches/demonstrations in London showing some Jews amonst them but havem't heard a single interview from any of them.
So as for getting out more I get my news for several years from 'Redacted', 'Grayzone', Scott Ritter, Caitlin Johnson, Paul Craig Murray, Chris Hedges, 'Consortium News' 'Covert Action', Declassified UK etc., etc. Maybe not enough? but no news of anti Zionist Jews there as far as I've heard. Well a mention or two perhaps but no real input by any spokesperson.
Perhaps you can find some and let me know to set me straight.
I forgot Max Blumenthal, well there 's one! Yes I now remember some Jewish TV bloggers who decry the Israelis on sites such as MOATS but I don't see 'ordinary' Jews people saying anything.
The U.S. was created on stolen and on the basis of genocide, all settler-colonial countries are like that. In all those cases, however, incl. the U.S. that happened when there was no international law prohibiting land theft and genocide.
The genocidal Cesspool in West Asia was created when there was international law so there was absolutely no reason for its creation, none whatsoever.
It is for that reason that The genocidal Cesspool should cease to exist for as long as it does exist, the chaos, death and destruction it has been responsible for will continue not just unabated but with increased intensity.
As for Jews who detest vermin like Ben Shapiro and who claim to be against the genocide, how many of those agree that The genocidal Cesspool should cease to exist? Not many, which means they support The Cesspool, which means they support zionism, which is based on Jew supremacy and genocide, which means those loudmouths in effect support the genocide.
Well, I used to be a donor to the Genocidal Cesspool, but as I've suffered a succession of financial setbacks, I'e not been able to support the organization financially since 2016.
May I gently suggest that you seek psychiatric help, Ngungu?
As usual with you people, John, you project onto others what you people are guilty of. Therefore your accusation of my psychiatric derangement is an admission of your own psychiatric derangement. However, in the case of the judaic/zio cult, it is not merely a psychiatric derangement, it is a completely sick, psychiatric mental state for which the majority amongst you belong in a mental institution instead of being left to wander the world and commit war crimes and crimes against humanity that make your erstwhile 1933-45 German National Socialist role models look like choir boys; heck, your Führer would make his erstwhile role model blush with shame for the latter's softie handling.
I rest my case and wish you not only a wonderful day but financial recovery (no problem for you lot) to 1 day be able to visit and enjoy The genocidal Cesspool.
It occurs to me you didn't realize I was being sarcastic about being a donor to an organization/ movement that I believe to exist only in your apparently very disordered mind. You will note that only one of us is blathering without tongue in cheek about The genocidal Cesspool, capitalization and its absence yours.
I considered it but then again, coming from a Jew, and one that got so upset for my calling a spade a spade about that Cesspool that I realized you refuse, like many/most of your fellow Jews/zios, to face reality. Hence your anger got the better of you so you tried to disparage me, albeit with a very polite, apparently controlled tone.
Blathering with tongue in cheek is what you people are masters at, such as the narrative you foisted onto the world about what was done to the Jews during WW2.
So, I humbly suggest you stop spewing nonsense, pull your head out of your alley where the sun don't shine, and face reality and join the rest of humanity instead of staying separate and consider yourselves as superior to that humanity.
My very elderly social studies teacher in 1972 always refered to the Holy Land as Palestine. It was the first time I had ever heard that term. Then I was leafing through a geography book at my grandparent's home, and I saw the map of the Middle East, with Palestine clearly printed on that map. This has been an unexpected turn in the Trumpenstein script, but as the script gets weirder and weirder, nothing would surprise me. I thought the story about fights on the White House lawn was fake, at first. The rioting in Portland has stopped as if a switch was flipped. Perhaps they received notice from whoever pays them, that their summer break has started.
Donald, you've written about rotten cops who shoot dogs at the drop of a hat. My friend's co-worker had her Chihuahua killed last week by a cop. Her kids found a handgun...and naturally posted that fact of FB...which necessitated a visit from the city cops. When the cops entered their home, the dog grabbed the cop's pant leg...so he blew it away. NEVER post anything on FB that could draw cops like flies to **** (just don't use FB at all, imo). NEVER allow cops in your home. This happened in Salem Oregon.
Wow. What a disturbing story, Kris. And another indication that law enforcement is monitoring social media, as has become so prevalent in the UK. The First Amendment is supposed to protect us here. But most of the people don't care, and don't support it, anyway. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing too that the people search sites show links to all of the major social media sites when you do a people search. Almost everything about your life and affiliations is posted on those sites. Your personal and private info has all been linked together. Grateful I didn't sign up for Facebook, etc. Those social media sites must be sharing and/or selling data to data brokers to have emails, phone numbers, etc linked to your name on the people search sites.
Salem, Oregon. There's the problem. Oregon permits continuous riots to occur in their major city but then shoots tiny rat like dogs that tug on a pant leg.
Keep me the hell out of that shit hole of a state.
Absolutely correct. It is hellish to live here. I'm only here living in the family homestead to prevent my siblings from selling it. My place has increased in value to remarkable heights, since my dad bought it in 1974. The fact that my siblings can't force a sale, frustrates them no end. It's crazy to trade valuable land for fiat dollars. My three sisters are the wokest of woke liberals, who believe Oregon is paradise, and pretty much hate Christians. Because none of my siblings do social media, I haven't a clue about what's going on in their lives. The only good thing I can say about Oregon laws, is that to extract a family member from a family property by force, is pretty much impossible, if that person has lived there for years and improved the property. Even squatters have major rights. The sale of the old Shriner's hospital in Portland was held up for years because a homeless man had built a plywood shack on the property.
I deal with living here by trying not to interact as much as possible. There are some really nice places to go for the day; the beach, mountains or desert; and I can do that without interacting. I bring my own food, and passing someone on a trail is about as much interaction as I can take. The folks who ruined Oregon, are not those from hardy pioneer stock. They are carpetbaggers from California and East Coast Jews who started flocking here in the seventies. Our current governor is a lesbian Jew from the East Coast. Oregon was the first state to go to all-mail voting. We haven't had a real election since then.The Democrat Machine is so ubiquitous in their corruption, they don't even bother to hide it these days. Btw, Happy Juneteenf, everybody. I want you to ax yourselves if you are properly grateful we now have a holiday celebrating ghetto accents.
Kris, sorry to hear about your siblings wanting to sell off the homestead. Unfortunately it's far to common. People have lost their sense of tradition and pride in ones of prior generations.My great aunt swindled away and sold the family farm in easter washinton. I was a tad to young to fight for it at the time. Over 125 years of blood, sweat and tears was sold off to who knows who. The first thing the new owners did was bulldoze the house my great-great grandfather built.
So hopefully you can stand up and keep your homestead in the family somehow.
Don, Great article as always and sorry for being off topic but I couldn't resist.
I hope you don't mind
Condolences. What a horrible story. I can understand how much that must hurt. May I ask what is the closest town to your former property?
The inexplicable thing about my sibling's behavior, is that a year ago one sold her home in St. Petersburg FL for $740,000. and a few years before that another sister sold her Seattle home for close to $800,000. There is a ten acre family farm on the Oregon Coast that both of these two could live for free on for the rest of their lives (I was cut out of that will)...but STILL, they attempted to force me out of the home I have worked on for years. The palm, almond, tulip and Chinese Empress trees I stuck in the ground were less than two feet tall. They are now flourishing 30 foot plus trees. That is why I stick it out here, even though I hate the lunacy and the political climate. Jesus said in the Last Days your worst enemies would be in your own family. I find that to be true in my case.
Kris,
The farms were in the Colfax area. Most anyone traveling to WSU would end up driving by the main one.
While Oregons politics is definitely on the wrong track, the wife and I found a town (the Dalles) that still puts up American flags lining the main streets for holidays, has an honest to goodness Christmas parade each year and a ton of professional grade fireworks shows at the 4th
Cheers
Thanks. I did live in Washington for two and a half years. I have friends in The Dallas, and it is very different from the craziness in the Willamette Valley...most eastern Oregon towns are still great, but the statewide laws are a danger to all Oregonians. I remember seeing that fireworks show in 1972, so it goes back many decades.
To Hunter- a lot of us lost the lands that our ancestors worked . I am old now so the loss does not hurt as much. We all ought to have a beer together some day !
Kris- I always look forward to your astute observations and opinions. They reflect to us common folks the pathetic state to which our countries have fallen. (I are from Canuckistan). Your last sentence in this comment is a gem.
I remember Bill Bowerman, Steve Prefontaine and their great runners. In the late 60s USMC I wound up at a military hospital and the docs let me out to see Steve Prefontaine run at Van Cortlandt park in the Bronx, NY. I think Bill Bowerman would be stunned at all the jerks running the state of Oregon.
Washington State seems just as screwed up. I grew up on the streets of a blue collar Brooklyn, NY area.
Any Oregonians I know want to be part of Idaho.
Unfortunately, I live within walking distance of Nike World Headquarters...and it keeps growing like the blob from hell. I have never bought a pair of Nikes for myself, athletic shoes are definitely not my style. I did have a pair for school though. I was a kid from the sticks who moved from one of the smallest high schools in the state, to the forth largest in 1975.
I told my dad that the new school ordered me to bring shoes for gym. We drove about two miles away to a tiny storefront, and we bought a pair of gym shoes. The next day at school in the locker room, all the girls gathered around me, oohing and ahhing over my new Nikes. I had never heard of Nikes...I had no idea what all the fuss was about. It turned out, that tiny store was Nike's first retail shop.
I really hope and pray Greater Idaho comes to fruition.
Nike, the true benefactor of the Oregon Ducks athletics program. Without Nike, the Duckies would be just like the poor Beavers in Corvalis. No conference and irrelevant. Money makes a big difference, doesn't it?
I hate the Oregon Ducks and their ever changing fancy uniforms. I mean, their school colors are green and yellow but they wear black, silver, pink and all kinds of colors not associated with their school. I hope they never get a National Championship just to stick it to Nike's big money and being part of the Big-10 almost entirely guarantees a championship will never happen. Love it.
It is sickening the perks that Nike has gotten in Oregon. They were able to have secret negotiations with the City of Beaverton to create a patchwork map, in which Nike has become a non-city island surrounded by people who pay city property tax. They now save at least $600,000. in property tax a year. How they did this was to force us folks nearby into the city. In 2004 we formed a group to attempt to stop this ...but they had already made up their minds...we never had a chance. My dad bought our property to have livestock, and we did, right up until we were forced into city zoning. Yet when Nike started a huge new expansion, Beaverton let them annex OUT six acres from the city limits. Like Donald always writes about, the wealthy don't have to follow the rules that smash the rest of us. During this scandal some whistle-blowers leaked the Beaverton mayor's emails, in which he bragged about the fraudulent annexations: "It's so nice to be king!" I'm pretty sure Nike paid a lot of bribe money for this treatment.Yet he was re-elected, only to be followed by our next mayor, who exited office by arrest for having kiddy porn on his computer. This is the slime that gets elected in Oregon.
The Oregon legislature passed a deal giving Nike billions of dollars of income tax exemptions for 30 years. I can't pass that place without raging, so I just try to forget about it. Since I don't follow sports, I don't get reminded much, and I avoid that road.
To Cankerpuss-thanks for the news on the Oregon Ducks. I quit following track and field after getting out of the USMC. I served with a good guy from Portland, Oregon and many funny stories. About one month ago I started watching You Tubes on track and field. I saw a lot of Oregon runners.
These runners probably have no idea what you have arrived at. I saw one race where Oregon was wearing pink.
I now will look differently at how I see these Ducks.
To Kris- very interesting story about the Nike shoes. In high school 1960s I remember someone getting me a pair from Blue Ribbon Sports (which I think is Bowerman-? pre Nike). I was running in very heavy sneakers low cut type.
Yes, Blue Ribbon shoes were from the first company Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight founded together. I have another Nike shoe story from 1980. My sister's boyfriend worked on the loading dock at the downtown Portland post office. He announced to myself and my three sisters that a shipment of women's Nikes had been damaged, and he retrieved them from the dumpster...did we each want two pairs? We all did. I took mine to GI Joes (a sporting and outdoor store) got store credit and used it to buy a cassette recorder. The shoes were worth 20 bucks a pair. Later it turned out Marvin had stolen the shoe shipment from the mail. He did not get fired (no surprise).
My sister broke up with him about a year later He broke into her apartment, and she broke a bottle over his head, which, I guess, scared him away. Last year I remembered him, and out of curiosity I started googling. He is now in the Big House in Oregon, serving a long stint for kidnapping and attempted murder. Apparently, he broke into a former girlfriend's home and held her hostage for three days, occasionally beating her unil part of her skull was crushed. This woman somehow managed to get a cryptic text to her daughter (he was monitoring her phone) and the daughter called the cops for a welfare check. When the cops showed up, Marvin fled out the backdoor , but they caught him. Our family used to joke that he was crazy...and it turned out he really was. So the only two pairs of Nikes I owned as an adult, I got rid of immediately. For me, the most entertaining thing about the Internet, is finding out whatever happened to folks I used to know.
Cankerpuss: I hope Greater Idaho becomes part of Idaho no matter how long it takes.
Not likely as the State Legislature has to approve it and the legislature is controlled by Portland, Salem and Eugene.
We haven't seen a change in state boundaries since Arizona and New Mexico formally became states.
There you go again with logic and reason. It’s why I’ve actually never created a social media account unless you count this platform as social media. I understood the agenda from the beginning which is it’s a spying and tracking app across the mainstream social media platforms. They know everything about you and who you interact with. The cops even can track your Google Maps data when searching for criminal suspects. Imagine driving by a murder scene unknowingly not even with the maps app navigating then getting a no knock warrant executed on your home just because you unknowingly drove by a crime scene? I also found out the last couple of years that the ring doorbell cameras can be tapped into by the police without your permission or knowledge. No thanks.
Here’s how much I despise surveillance. On Saturday I moved to a neighboring state for a new job. I searched up the flock cameras per https://maps.deflock.org prior to making a trip to Lowes Home Improvement. Wouldn’t you know both entrances had flock cameras after you turn into the parking lot. Well there is a grocery store next door without flock cameras so I decided to park there and walk over so I wouldn’t be entered into their database.
I wish people would do this at the airport and opt out of the face scans and cancer creation scanning machines. There is even a sign at the TSA agent ID check stations telling you the face scan is optional and the sheeple blindly obey and don’t even read the sign. After I refuse the face scan I then refuse the cancer machine and ask to opt out. Then the literal molestation begins via the pat down but it’s better than complying. If everyone refused to comply at the airports they’d get rid of these systems as the flights would be delayed and now we’re talking real money. TSA has zero to do with terrorism but rather everything to do with tracking citizens to keep us in line to condition us for the surveillance state.
A few years ago, I spent a week in Pennsylvania and New York on family business. Flew out of Buffalo to come home. When I got to the facial scanning line, I noticed two things:
1. The sign said it was optional and no one was required to submit to it.
2. Everyone in front of me submitted to it without a peep of protest.
I did not. When my turn came up, the man gestured at the camera and told me to stand in front of it. I told him that I was going to opt out and refused. In an irritated manner, he told me that he would have to log in all my information by hand and I told him to do what he had to do. Two minutes later, I was on my way, without surrendering my position at all.
That´s really the worst when people (still) have a choice but submit to it anyway. I really have no words for that. Thanks for resisting.
I recently flew to Atlanta. I did the facial scan. I saw nothing anywhere that stated the facial scan was optional. Had I seen something I would have opted out of it.
I flew 2-3 weeks ago and it was a small sign where the TSA agent takes your ID at the photo area. I would not doubt if they are starting to remove the signs to condition people to think you don’t have an option. Most don’t realize you can also opt out of the scanning machines and ask for a pat down since there has never been a sign saying you can opt out of that.
My job hasn't yet led me out of the country, though once I was requested to take a bush plane to the outbacks of Alaska to fix some equipment, which would have required a Canadian flyover. I was busy doing something else and have still not ever been outside the lower 48. I will never go into an airport and take a flight though, ever again, and have not done so since the draconian 2001 TSA creation. I will drive my own or a rental car anywhere I need to be, no matter how long it takes. My own brother pilots American Airlines planes all over the world but I've never told him I won't get on one.
I met a retired air traffic controller a few years ago who refused to fly at all. He drove everywhere because of what he has seen from his decades of experience in the industry. Not very comforting.
Like what? What did he say?
Don't just provide "a friend of my friend said....." anecdotes that mean nothing. Tell us what he said. Why was it that he refused to fly? Specifics. Give us specifics.
One item that comes to mind is pilots starting to suddenly change altitude prior to receiving ATC approval and clearance.
Why? You do realize that rental cars have geo-tracking devices installed on them and they can track wherever you travel? In fact, most modern cars today can be tracked. Cars do offer more convenience but if your looking for privacy, they are no more private than air travel.
Drive an old car like I do. No tracking devices. I always liked old cars. My first car in 1979 was a 1953 Chevy pick-up.
I get it. I have a pristine 1968 Chevrolet SS Camaro. No electronics in it. No tracking that bad boy.
Very well said, Right Side. Last night I was trying to explain Substack to a friend who had never heard of it. I said it is kind of a social media site, but for more intelligent people who like to read and are interested in ideas, as opposed to regular social media which is loved by stupid people with low self-esteem who must constantly be getting "likes" so they can feel good about themselves.
Here's a true story I believe happened last year. An idiot migrant was picked up by ICE after he posted on FB he was headed to Home Depot.
Yeah although I feel like this is a controlled sandbox echo chamber now. I want to reach and wake up the normies but 90% of what I write here via comments would be censored so it’s difficult to get through.
I have never been censored on Substack. Never.
I have but it’s been by the owner of the channel or my comments go into this deleted comments section where you can still sort of see them if you click on them but I guess they are hidden from others?
"Dial 911 and die" was a video a couple decades ago. Surprisingly released by JPFO.org Jews for the preservation of firearms ownership.
Great title. Newspaper stories in my area over the past 40 years attest to the fact that: Dial 911 And Die...is very real.
To Just Sayn- I didn't know about that. Where I live the huge majority have firearms .
Wow, crazy and sad.
' Her kids found a handgun...' and that was just 'naturally' posted on a social medium site? (I don't know what FB is.) Never thought of handing it in to a police station? Or calling the police to where the gun was found to make enquiries? Strange. But, doing any of that in America would be unwise I agree but not expressed in the post.
FB is Facebook. They are migrant kids, and it was really stupid behavior to post finding the gun. However, I find ALL kids to be severely mentally handicapped these days.
well said
Thanks, Ingrid!
I don't understand why people can't see that the Jews have a right to be upset and apprehensive when folks gently rebuke them for the murdering, torturing, and imprisonment of innocent children, women, and unarmed old men. Can't they see that it is a very short step from talk like that to the Nazis heating up the furnaces again? This article really kicked it, Don, thank you.
Thanks, Heretic!
No real evidence of the furnaces. Holohoax.
first thing the jewish bolsheviks did when they took over Russia was to make aunty semightism a capital offense. death penalty. they are slowly working towards that in the US. something never brought up was israel was founded by jewish communists from Russia and Poland.
those bolshevik founders were in their 50-60's which puts them in their prime in Russia involved in the killing of 60 million Christian Russians. Polish jews were killing Germans in Poland by the scores on land stolen from Germany after WWI. so the people knee deep in blood during one of the biggest mass killing in world history founded israel. is it any wonder what they are doing to the people around them?
this is a glimpse into the jewish mind. 100 years ago maurice samuel wrote a book...you gentiles. here is a quote.. we jews are destroyers and we will remain destroyers forever. nothing you can do can meet our demands.
now think of the worlds economy being destroyed cause of israel
I've certainly heard that, SPQR. Like all these things, it's hard to verify. Thanks.
These 2 things are much easier to verify.
Quoting Shulamit Aloni:
"Well, it’s a trick. We always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic... And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as antisemitic and to bring up the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people."

In case you're wondering who Shulamit Aloni is:

Then this clueless idiot, who somehow got appointed as an ambassador to Israel.
He clearly has no knowledge of ANY history whatsoever.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-ambassador-says-america-owes-existence-israel/5930534
It's pretty much out in the open, Dan. Thanks.
Sadly, it's out in the open only for those with eyes to see it, but not so much for the rest of the clueless masses who don't see or get it yet.
Even more sadly, they are the clueless ones who elected other clueless idiots like the clueless one who is pretending to be ambassador to Israel.
It's the LCD, lowest common denominator effect, where the least competent ones determine the 'bar' for everyone else. No incompetence left behind.
Please excuse my preaching to the choir again.
It's more than the economy that's being destroyed: it's our humanity... The fact that people are either cheering on genocide for 'religious' reasons or cowering silently even though they understand that they're next is testimony to the fact they we have lost our souls. In the words of Palestine's great friend Max Igan: 'The way of Palestine will be the way of the world.'
It is said in the Bible that in the last days the "hearts of men shall fail them." What you just said describes this perfectly.
SPQR- Trotsky's favorite word was "liquidate". I am old and many years back read dozens of books and hundreds of papers about the rise of Communism in Russia. I think what the Communists did and who the organizers were is becoming better known now. I hope so.
One of your best.
I no longer feel safe
if I cant be anti "semantic".
I was hoping for an Irish Chair of the Federal Reserve. I guess that would be anti semantic.
Thanks, Bard!
This war is not over. Those who own this country are not about to give up their power and wealth. The United States is in the crapper, but it hasn't been flushed yet.
Semite has already been defined;
From Brittanica -
Semite, obsolete term, popularized in the 19th century, that originally described a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages that includes Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, and Tigrinya, among others. The term was later used in an ethnic sense, even though there has never been a shared Semitic identity among Semitic-speaking peoples.
And of course you already know that the Bible defines a Semite as one of the descendants of Shem. That nails it and narrows it down. .
No mention in the Bible of Northern Europeans (Khazar)posing as semites inheriting anything. Ash can Nazis!
But they are the chosen people, descendants of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Israel, the son of Abraham.
My big fat ass they are. Some of their rabbis themselves admit they are imposters and the Christians are too stupid to realize this.
I agree they are imposters, using religion as a vehicle for their evil Zionist agenda. They call their agenda Greater Israel. It is a coverup a subterfuge for their terrorism to become the New world Order. They will fail.
There is just one issue with non-semites not receiving the promise of God. We remember the story of Rahab and we remember the story of Ruth as well. They were Incorporated into the world and tribes of the semites through adopting the faith and marriage . So, based on this example, if one of the non-semite Europeans truly took on the faith of the Jews and mingled with them, they could also be heirs to that promise made to Abraham. After all, Christ came from the line of Ruth.
"if one of the non-semite Europeans truly took on the faith of the Jews and mingled with them, they could also be heirs to that promise made to Abraham."
You've got the entire Abrahamic covenant all wrong. First of all the Abrahamic covenant applies to ALL OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. The House of Israel consists of the 12 tribes of Israel, 13 if you count Ruben who lost the birthright to Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Mannasseh.
The bible talks about these 12 tribes dividing into two kingdoms. The northern Kingdom had 10 tribes, the southern Kingdom had 3 tribes (Judah, Benjamin and Levi).
Due to wickedness and idolatry the northern kingdom was destroyed and the 10 tribes were taken captive by the Assyrian empire.
The southern kingdom fell to the Babylonians about 200 years later.
The Babylonians let the descendants of Judah return to Jerusalem but the Assyrians never permitted the 10 northern tribes to return to Jerusalem. Instead, over the centuries the 10 northern tribes migrated north and west eventually settling in the Baltic regions, Germania, Gaul, Britannia and Scandinavia. The foundations of the white western nations we have today. It is through THESE nations and the THESE people that the blessings of technology and constitutional governments have come to the world. It is through THESE nations that the covenants of God to Abraham have been fulfilled.
The tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi do not exist anymore, having been bred out of existence by endless racial mixing and migrations of people.
The Jews today are not the same people who were considered "JUS" of 2000 years ago during Christ's time. Judea at the time was a rabid miasma and political hot bed of various cultures and it was a complete and utter mess. So bad that the Romans decided to utterly destroy Judea around 70 AD and they did so, quite effectively.
Do not conflate the modern Jews with those ancient Jus who were of the House of Israel. The House of Israel is NOT the Jews and does NOT include them. Period. The true House of Israel is ALL of the 13 tribes, their descendants and those who are adopted in through obedience to Christ's words. The House of Israel are the Christians and all those who choose to follow Christ.
All this biblical mumbo jumbo hinges on the facts. The fact is Modern Israel is a construct for a terrorist Zion ideology. These zionists hold none of the commandments, infact they continue to violently break them all. Any Promise is invalidated by that. These international criminals hope to have world dominion though they are a very tiny minority. They refuse to even try to get along with their neighbors. Therefore they present an all or nothing Position. They deserve And will get Nothing except eradication. That appears to be their choice! Hoping for another chance to play the victim charade. They are terrorists, they refuse every attempt at peace, International law, and they fail completely at upholding their supposed faith. As those who do profess Judaism despise Zionism and are persecuted for such . As for Christian Zionists like Mike Huckabee. You can hold any belief you want but it was Jews who arranged for the crucifixion of Jesus. The Schofield Bible is a crime, a hoax, a lie. Incidentally I follow no organized religion as they are just Human Constructs, a method to seek power and control over masses, essentially little different than Statist Government.
"You can hold any belief you want but it was Jews who arranged for the crucifixion of Jesus."
By that statement you are insinuating that the Jews of today are the same people as the "Jus" that inhabited Judea during the time of Christ, 2000 years ago (the term Ju was given to residents of Judea by the Romans to define their residency).
Wrong, friend. Ancient Judea was a political hot bed of various cultures, a miasma of immigrants, natives and refugees. The Romans attempted to control the mess but ultimately resorted to literally wiping Judea off the face of the planet around AD 70. They did so and did so quite effectively. If there were any true descendants of the Tribe of Judah at that time they were either killed or sent off to other nations where they interbred and effectively destroyed the blood line of Judah.
After the sacking of Judea the cities were eventually re-built but were populated by new cultures, new people, new religions.
The "jews" today are not the same people as the "Jus" of 2000 years ago. Not even close. The only thing they have in common is the "Jus" of 2000 years ago hated Christ and his teachings, choosing murderers over him. The Jews of today also hate Christ, his teachings and his people. There is one unifying evil force behind all of this and that is Satan. The eternal enemy of Christ. What does that say about the Jews of today? I think you already know.
Oh I agree with you totally about what has been done to little tiny Israel. It's much like what has been done to the United states. Some terrible Sinister Force, as Joe Kent. put it, has taken over our government and is spouting a strange kind of Zionism as well. I wonder what happened to the verse in the Bible where the God tells the Israelites to be kind to the alien among them? It seems to have been completely forgotten. Our nation comes under just as much scrutiny and judgment in these last days. Sad times!
DEFAMATION - Official Trailer 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJo7LhSPJaY Goggle AI Overview: In the 2009 documentary Defamation (Hashmatsa), The film follows Israeli high school students on organized educational youth trips to Holocaust concentration camp sites in Poland (such as Auschwitz and Majdanek).The purpose of these trips is to educate the younger generation about the realities of the Holocaust. However, the film explores a controversial underlying theme: how these institutions use Holocaust education to instill a profound sense of fear, alienation, and perpetual victimhood in Israeli youth. The documentary suggests this conditioning is used to justify Israeli government policies and maintain a cultural focus on past trauma.
And to think it is a HollowHoax.

Don, I am sure you will be interested in this short clip. It pertains to Catholics and anti-Semitism. The Zionist pastor at the end of the video, (not Catholic), lies and states that God has an "everlasting covenant" with the Jews thru promises made to Abraham. But in Galatians the third chapter the Apostle Paul states that the "Christians inherit the promises God made to Abraham". The clip demonstrates the Catholic standing in true faith, and the Zionist preacher exposing himself as anti Christ. The Zionist Jews in the video are...well I don't want to say. Thanks for the great read.
I appreciate you sharing that, Lick. Thanks!
Lickyouallover, see my post above. God's promises were to the House of Israel which consisted of 12 tribes (13 if you consider Ruben). 12 distinct tribes. Not one. 12! It really gets my panties in a wad when supposed experts claim the Jews of today are those chosen people. They are not! The Christians are! The Christian nations are the House of Israel. Great Britain is the tribe of Ephraim. The USA is the tribe of Mannasseh. Denmark is the tribe of Dan. Holland is the tribe of Zebulon. And so forth.
Modern day Jews are imposters and are not the House of Israel. Thank you for quoting Paul's epistle to the people of Galatia.
It is through the Christian nations of the world that God's promises to Abraham have come forth and those Christian nations are the true House of Israel.
The Catholic Church is Israel. Galatians 3.
All of Christendom is the House of Israel.
And.. there's this as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CfKvHy_hnzQ
Very interesting. Thank you!
"We have a “right to exist,” but you don’t. No one else does."
Remember... the non-Jewish aren't considered human by many of that faith. So of course we don't have a right to exist. We're not human. We don't have souls.
It would be nice to hear prominent Jews refute this. Just say, of course no human is an animal. We all have souls.
All of us? One wonders.
Comment #26 over at Unz today.
"...the cover of Madonna’s record album Madame X has the photo of an old Corona typewriter on it. In other words, she was messaging the Corona Virus in 2019. And when you open up the cover like opening up a book, there in clear view is Madonna’s private part with legs spread for you to see it.
Go on YouTube and you probably can find the video of her singing “Future” with the dancers wearing gas masks dying all around her, symbolizing COVID deaths. The elites just get an orgasm when they can mock us and flaunt they have special inside knowledge on us.
I have a copy of the album to save to show people what elites knew about COVID beforehand.
https://www.unz.com/article/close-encounter-with-the-jewish-elite-in-hollywood/#comment-7661005
Are degenerates such as that even human?
Ugh. How could JFK, Jr. have slept with her? As I related in "Masking the Truth," Madonna also tweeted out some coded nonsense about her Corona typewriter right after creepy Tom Hanks did. Thanks, John.
JFK couldn't have slept with Madonna, given that she was four years old when he died and he was not a talmidist. I think you meant Marilyn Monroe, who was not an "ugh" for most males..
JFK, Jr.
Thanks. Getting old! JFK, Jr. is still in knee pants saluting his late father in my mind. I didn't even "see" the Jr. after the initials!
We all may have souls but some humans were created to be lesser human beings.
Christ often referred to "dogs" and "swine." He wasn't talking about innocent animals. He was talking about lower humans. He was referring to humans not of the Adamic (ruddy, blushing) race.
I believe there were other human races on the Earth at the time of Adam's creation. Adam was the penultimate human creation. He was God's final creation of man. All other races of man on the Earth were forbidden to Adam's posterity and were to be ruled over by Adam's posterity.
The word "Adam" is, I believe, a Hebrew word that means "red, ruddy, or the ability to blush." There is only one race on the planet that blushes and I think you know which race that is. This races sells itself short, engages in self destruction and does not understand how divine and cherished they truly are.
I thought all humans are actually animals including the Jews of course. It;s easy to see by just comparing at our bodily make up/functions with animals.
Oh yes, we are human, even in their eyes, it's just that we are subhuman.
I grew up in a Baptist Church in which we were carefully taught about all of the things concerning the end times and Israel's role in it. We were taught just exactly what the scripture says, that all nations would turn against her in the end times and cause God to take action to save a Remnant (and it will be a small remnant) of his people there in that nation. The Bible indicates that only one third of the Jews living in Israel at this time will be spared from the coming Great War of Gog and Magog mentioned in Ezekiel 48 and 49. As young people we would look at each other and ask aloud why would every single nation turn against little Israel. It made no sense. Little did we know that, just as in the past, their sorrows would be brought upon them by their own actions. We could not foresee that due to their actions against the people in Gaza and Lebanon and others around them that show such brutality and lack of mercy would be the cause of every single nation in the world being against her in the end. That we never foresaw... but here it is right in front of us. We are truly in the end times and Israel has a very horrible time of judgment coming. Of course, so do we for all the atrocities that we have committed.
I saw a humorous sticker on a car the other day. It said, " Jesus is coming again.. and this time he's pissed". I had to laugh. We all need to buckle up. Times are about to get very interesting.
Most all, 501C tax exempt "churches" do not understand that the sandbox in the ME, and it's murderous inhabitants are not Israel. Israel was never a land mass, but the name given to Jacob, renamed Israel, and his heirs. These "non-Shemites" inhabiting Palestine do not represent the true Israelites. We are the true Hebrew, Shemite people, to whom the promises pertain. The murderous lot know who their father (little f) is. Those who do not wake up are doomed as 2/3 will perish.
I appreciate you sharing your experiences, JoJo. Thanks.
Perhaps I do it too often and I hope you will let me know if I do. I find your writing to be some of the best I have encountered. Thank you for all you do!
Not at all. I think everyone benefits when people share their experiences. Thanks!
Absolutely NOT too often. The best comments include real life experiences.
I LOVE that bumper sticker!!! I hope I can find one. I've known we were/are in the End Times since 1990 ( the nineties were the run-up). However I disagree with evangelical interpretations of Bible prophecy.
John, I have been studying religious prophecy for 35 years. I have watched as these things have unfolded. The prophecies I refer to are not some vague, one-size-fits-all tv preacher bs. In my research Orthodox Christian monks have delivered astoundingly accurate little bits of off-the-wall-prophecy...such as people abandoning having children and treating pets as their children. I watched this happen in my own lifetime. I got my first dog (as opposed to family dog) a dalmatian, in 1979 (coincidentally the year 101 Dalmatians was re-released, so my dog got a lot of attention). Anyone back then who treated their dog as best buddy, was considered a kook. I took so much flack traveling with my dog (including flying) it was unbelievable. Howard Johnson's in Vero Beach Florida called the cops on me and padlocked my room door...merely on the SUSPICION that my dog had entered the room (1982). If I could have looked ahead 40 years and seen folks calling their dogs and cats "fur babies", grand-dogs (grand-dogs are mentioned in obituaries these days) and themselves "pet parents" ...it would have seemed like the wildest fantasy. Now, how could monks on Mount Athos, 400 years ago be able to see this happening in End Times? No one without an agenda can call this a coinkydink.
Orthodox End Time prophecy is closely followed by various Catholic Mystic's prophecies, for spot on accuracy. I have never found an evangelical End Time prophecy that has come true. They may be out there...but I haven't seen it
The times are always "ending." And beginning too.
Oh yes. The Bible says, “ And behold I saw a new heaven and new earth” at the very end of Revelation. The Creator loves to create!
JoJo, it's extremely refreshing to find a person who actually understands Scripture posting a comment on this highly controversial (and highly misunderstood) subject. I LOVED your comment! I've never been a Baptist (nor have I ever been a member of *any* mainstream Christian denomination), but my all-time favorite preacher is Adrian Rogers; I believe I mentioned him to you once before - about a year or so ago. Although I certainly do not agree with *everything* that the Baptist minister "Mr. Rogers" stated, he obviously had quite a Divine gift for preaching The Word! (One thing that made him stand out to me was his wonderful sense of humor.)
When it comes to language, my two biggest pet peeves are:
#1) People who say or write "I could care less".
#2) People who, having no real understanding of Scripture, quoting the "synagogue of satan" verse and applying it to all of the so-called "Jews" in the 21st Century. (Based upon your comment above, I feel certain that you understand my meaning here.)
Again... thank you for being a true voice of knowledge hereabouts!
~ D-FensDogG
Thank you for your very kind remarks, Loyal! I hope to live up to them!
Great piece. You wrote, "Zionism cannot be intellectually defended. All its proponents can do is hysterically shout nasty names at you." That's exactly the same thing with radical leftists, which these days are really extreme socialists. Both will not question their ideology or methods because deep down they know it is just a hidden form of brute power. So it looks like its going to be an eye vey for an eye vey...
Thanks, Tim!
Any Christian who supports this zionist crap has shunned the Holy Gospels. The Prince of PEACE clearly and unequivocally foretold the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem. In 70 AD, this is exactly what happened ("no stone unturned").
Old Covenant judaism was ended by Christ's fulfillment on the cross("it is finished"- John 19:30). Anyone who has rejected the Son of God lives in rebellion. Sadly, many evangelicals fall into this category by ignoring the outright hostility of Jesus by followers of an outdated religion.
Our Father , by way of the Son, turned unholy Jerusalem, and Israel and Judea, into dust. The New Jerusalem is the home for saved souls while Jesus became the new Israel.
Great work. Thanks Don
Well said, Robert. Thanks!
Superb
Thanks, Dr.!
You are a master of polemic and truth telling though mockery and insult and understatement
Bibi's MO: It all started when he hit me back. Let's you and him fight
Would you describe the USA as an artificial megastate created by stealing land belonging to others? Or, because since the theft occurred well before the creation of Israel, the statute of limitations precludes that description? As a Jew who avidly deplores Netanyahu and Gvir (what are you giving him an A for, monstrousness?) I have trouble seeing where I belong in the Jeffries view of the world? What about all the Jews who detest Ben Shapiro?
Sure, people can make the argument that we stole land from the Indians, John. I've written about the atrocities committed against the native Americans. But I think that was a bit different. It was in the age of exploration, and the Americas had large areas that were not occupied by anyone. I'm glad you oppose Israel's warlike aggressiveness. Didn't know I misspelled Gvir's name- it was spelled like that online. I'm usually such a good speller.
I am a civil libertarian, and respect the free speech of everyone. Even Mark Levin has the right to express himself. Everyone fits into my "view of the world," whatever that is. I'd like the persecution complex to be healed. I'd like Zionism to be repudiated, as it has been by most of the world. All people- including Bibi- have a right to exist. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have a right to exist in my backyard. That's the larger point here. Both Trump and Vance appear to have pissed off the non-Irish and evangelical faithful. We'll see what happens. As Ben Franklin said, there is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace.
As for the persecution complex...I find it distasteful myself, and absolutely reject the idea that, in view of "our" having been brutalized, our brutalizing others must be condoned. At the same time, a casual reading of your own comments threads make unmistakable that there's still lots of antisemitism (in the pre-Netanyahu sense, of hatred of all things Jewish) afoot. Is it entirely unreasonable to feel a little...nervous in the presence of foaming-at-mouth bigots like SPORTSBRA afoot? Do I for a millisecond believe that such nervousness justifies the brutalization of the Palestinians? I certainly do not.
You make a valid point, John. But where's the line between genuine, irrational hatred of Jews, and a reaction to the collective persecution complex and the angry entitlement? I mean, how much more of a lapdog would Trump have to be, and now they're mad at him? Thanks.
I think I understand. I repudiate the persecution complex, but by virtue of my DNA, I am assumed to be all in for everything unattractive about my ethnicity. Here in the UK, a gay schoolteacher was sentenced to life imprisonment this past week for having raped and then stangled his adopted infant son. He was white. So are you. If.I follow your argument, because you are of the same ethnicity as the referenced monster, I should have no qualms about hating and fearing you?
I regard both Trump and Netanyahu as abominable.
You're missing my point, DJ. You regularly imply that Jews (the non-Irish, as though there aren't Irish Jews) are monolithic. Or maybe that's too harsh. Let's say you don't actively imply it, but simply fail to make a distinction between Zionists and Jews who deplore Zionism. In so doing, you tacitly validate the moronic bigotry of the likes of SPORTSBRA. At such moments, I find your libertarianism morally indefensible.
As for the stolen lands thing, your implication is that the much lower population density on the North American continent and the fact that...everybody in western Europe was doing it (claiming other people's countries as their own (because, anticipating the Steven Miller formulation, might makes right), and then brutalizing those countries' original inhabitants) somehow indemnifies America.

You've read enough of my work to understand where I'm coming from. Of course not all Jews support Zionism. But recent polls indicate that about 82% of Israelis support the genocide in Gaza, and 47% want to take it all the way, wiping out the whole population. We could say the same thing about Black people- not all of them embrace and defend ghetto culture. But too many of them do. Thanks.
You're being disingenuous. Since when do Israelis represent all Jews? You don't speak of Zionist Jews or right-wing Israeli Jews, but of the non-Irish. The obvious inference is that you believe that the genocide-supporters in Israel represent my views, and the views of millions of other Jews. They do not, and I have every confidence that you know it. Your disinclination to make that distinction is morally irresponsible.
Regarding your point about Black people. Because "too many" embrace ghetto culture, all blacks should be held responsible? Too many white Americans insist on believing that The Abomination is a viable president. By your reasoning, should I look at all whites as gullble morons?
John, Israel is causing all the trouble, not American Jews. Thus, a poll like that showing the vast majority of Israelis support it is revealing. If you said all Whites were gullible morons, I wouldn't be offended. Too many are. Thanks.
My saying that all whites are gullible morons would be a moronic statement .Take the late Stephen Hawking, and the late Christopher Hitchens!
All I'm saying is that there's a substantial difference between "The non-Iriish..." and "Many non-Irish." The latter acknowledges that we, like white morons and whte geniuses, come in all shapes and sizes. The former suggests that we are monolithic. Not acknowledging the diversity in a group of people is a crucial first step for those who might wish to demonize those people.
Once more DJ swings and misses! :-) You're not addressing your irresponsible failure to recognize that the Jews of israel do NOT speak for all Jews.
'... fail to make a distinction between Zionists and Jews who deplore Zionism.'
Who and where are they? I have never heard any deploying of Zionism by Jews. Of course there must be such people but seemingly hiding their lights under bushels or are the Zionists cleverly making them invisisble?
Look up "deploy", Dennis. If you're unaware of the very large percentage of Jews like myself, who deplore the brand of Zionism currently practiced by Israel, I can only suggest that you get out more often.
There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jews. Glenn Greenwald does great work. Keaton Weiss, who I have appeared on podcasts with, is very critical of Israel. Max Blumenthal, etc. I'm just pointing out that too many Jews (and I think it is a majority) support Israel no matter what, out of tribalistic loyalty.
According to Google AI, "Approximately 28% to 32% of American Jews approve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with recent polling indicating that 67% to 68% of Jewish American voters hold an unfavorable view of his leadership." So enough with the accusation of tribality, OK?
Let's say, just for the fun of it, that it's 51 for Israel, and 49 appalled by Israel. For even more fun let's say't 73 percent for, and 27 percent appalled. It's still incumbent on you to stop implying, with the non-Irish trope, that we're monolithic. That does those me and those invoked a grave disservice.
I am in the UK and we do get biased views from the BBC, newpapers, which I don't see or read as they hide any anti govt news and a Talk Radio station also of bent info.. There is a TV station here called GBNews which doesn't fear showing great opposition to the boat migrants, migrant crime statistics and other stories showing up the UK govt. propaganda. This is a TV show which would show any Jewish opposition to Zionism but I haven't seen any.. As you probably know there is about 150,000 Jews here most in a suberb of London called Golders Green. There quite a lot of that news telling how some of those Jews are frightened of what could happen to them in London. Never have I heard any Jew there point out what Israel is doing is wrong. It is difficult to believe that view is totally cut out. There are some news shots of Palestinian marches/demonstrations in London showing some Jews amonst them but havem't heard a single interview from any of them.
So as for getting out more I get my news for several years from 'Redacted', 'Grayzone', Scott Ritter, Caitlin Johnson, Paul Craig Murray, Chris Hedges, 'Consortium News' 'Covert Action', Declassified UK etc., etc. Maybe not enough? but no news of anti Zionist Jews there as far as I've heard. Well a mention or two perhaps but no real input by any spokesperson.
Perhaps you can find some and let me know to set me straight.
I forgot Max Blumenthal, well there 's one! Yes I now remember some Jewish TV bloggers who decry the Israelis on sites such as MOATS but I don't see 'ordinary' Jews people saying anything.
If I miss using a period (full stop) are you going to tell how to use them?
The U.S. was created on stolen and on the basis of genocide, all settler-colonial countries are like that. In all those cases, however, incl. the U.S. that happened when there was no international law prohibiting land theft and genocide.
The genocidal Cesspool in West Asia was created when there was international law so there was absolutely no reason for its creation, none whatsoever.
It is for that reason that The genocidal Cesspool should cease to exist for as long as it does exist, the chaos, death and destruction it has been responsible for will continue not just unabated but with increased intensity.
As for Jews who detest vermin like Ben Shapiro and who claim to be against the genocide, how many of those agree that The genocidal Cesspool should cease to exist? Not many, which means they support The Cesspool, which means they support zionism, which is based on Jew supremacy and genocide, which means those loudmouths in effect support the genocide.
Well, I used to be a donor to the Genocidal Cesspool, but as I've suffered a succession of financial setbacks, I'e not been able to support the organization financially since 2016.
May I gently suggest that you seek psychiatric help, Ngungu?
As usual with you people, John, you project onto others what you people are guilty of. Therefore your accusation of my psychiatric derangement is an admission of your own psychiatric derangement. However, in the case of the judaic/zio cult, it is not merely a psychiatric derangement, it is a completely sick, psychiatric mental state for which the majority amongst you belong in a mental institution instead of being left to wander the world and commit war crimes and crimes against humanity that make your erstwhile 1933-45 German National Socialist role models look like choir boys; heck, your Führer would make his erstwhile role model blush with shame for the latter's softie handling.
I rest my case and wish you not only a wonderful day but financial recovery (no problem for you lot) to 1 day be able to visit and enjoy The genocidal Cesspool.
It occurs to me you didn't realize I was being sarcastic about being a donor to an organization/ movement that I believe to exist only in your apparently very disordered mind. You will note that only one of us is blathering without tongue in cheek about The genocidal Cesspool, capitalization and its absence yours.
I considered it but then again, coming from a Jew, and one that got so upset for my calling a spade a spade about that Cesspool that I realized you refuse, like many/most of your fellow Jews/zios, to face reality. Hence your anger got the better of you so you tried to disparage me, albeit with a very polite, apparently controlled tone.
Blathering with tongue in cheek is what you people are masters at, such as the narrative you foisted onto the world about what was done to the Jews during WW2.
So, I humbly suggest you stop spewing nonsense, pull your head out of your alley where the sun don't shine, and face reality and join the rest of humanity instead of staying separate and consider yourselves as superior to that humanity.
