From Israel Shahak's Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years, Chapter 3 (Orthodoxy and Interpretation):
Judaism has the golden rule: Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
I'll bet you 'LOL' when they spit on you in Jerusalem, eh? 🕶️Replies: @dearieme, @Jameson
In numerous cases general terms such as 'thy fellow', 'stranger', or even 'man' are taken to have an exclusivist chauvinistic meaning. The famous verse 'thou shalt love thy fellow as thyself (Leviticus, 19:18) is understood by classical (and present-day Orthodox) Judaism as an injunction to love one's fellow Jew, not any fellow human.https://ifamericansknew.org/cur_sit/shahak.html#3
It applies to Christians and Jews, that some Jews don’t follow it is their problem, they also have the problem of denying Christ, so they will have a lot to answer for on Judgement Day. The ceremonial laws and those about diet do not still apply to Christians, just the morality based ones.
I haven’t been to the Middle East, too many Muslim terrorists.
And, I doubt they would spit on me, given my size and the way I carry myself, but if they did, I would punch their lights out.
Whether you, as a mere goy (like me), would dare to lay a hand on one of yahweh's precious chosen ones, I have no idea. But I would like to see you and every other "Christian" zionist get spat upon by them at least once. In fact, I saw a video of a Thai woman, a "Christian" zionist and avid israel supporter like yourself, getting gobbed on by some of these ugly, spiteful, inbred ogres as she was trying to show her support for them. And it was awesome! For the only time in my life, I found myself actually rooting for the hook-nosed little mutants!
And, I doubt they would spit on me, given my size and the way I carry myself, but if they did, I would punch their lights out.
Trump ended DIE in federal hiring and promotion
It was already on shaky grounds due to a Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 600 U.S. 181 (2023) – if not obvious, the opinion referred to . Plus a couple dozen states passed anti-DEI laws. This was easy fruit to hand TrumpTards, but as it’s all by executive order, it’s easy enough to reverse by the next puppet-in-chief. Why not make it law? Oh, right, Ceasar doesn’t need the Senate.
[Trump] is going after private organizations that discriminate against Whites.
For (significant) example?
Why doesn’t he do what would be the only effective method to rid the US of (generally non-White) illegal immigrants: strictly enforce laws prohibiting employment without citizenship or other work authorization, and seek to make those laws even stricter (e.g. substantial criminal penalties[1]) while the “Rs” “control Congress”? That’s how you get the illegals to self-deport – no job, no stay.
I’ll go with the guy who doesn’t hate my people.
As long as you submit to Jewish rule, Trump will pretend he doesn’t hate you. Fact is he does not care one bit about you or your nephews and nieces, White or not – he only cares about a select few people. His war against free speech, his tax and fiscal policies (including tariffs), his failure to take adequate steps to remove the illegal population[2], his militarization of federal police, his endless wars and aggression in service of ZioNazis and oligarchs, etc., are all clear manifestations that he doesn’t care about Whites (at least 95% of them), all he cares about are Jews and oligarchs (and esp. Jewish oligarchs).
Islam does not acknowledge the Golden Rule. It has one set of rules for treating other Muslims vs how to treat infidels or kafir, to which anything goes, they can lie, steal, cheat, kill, rape, etc. the filthy infidels as long as they are furthering the greater Islamic Jihad aka spread of Islam by any means.
The common enemy is Islam, the chief enemy of all other religions and atheists worldwide.
Law is the set of agreements that establish permissible behavior.
Plebney got the better of this argument: law is the set of diktats that establish permissible behavior for the serfs and among the lesser ruling castes, subject in all cases to the King’s “prosecutorial discretion”.
This desire to occupy and officially claim Greenland as US sovereign territory undermines this “contract”
The US has since its inception done much worse things, repeatedly and consistently. What “contract” do you imagine has actually been binding on the US since 1776, or even since 1976? Just in recent months the US supports/participates in a genocide; bombs almost a dozen countries (that’s openly, we’re not including clandestine operations), imposes sanctions on far more countries, undermines many more countries with “color revolutions” and the like, and threatens even more countries, all in violation of international law; regularly engages in piracy; regularly and egregiously violates the US Constitution, which is supposed to be the most “basic contract” or “basic law”; etc. But as Plebney noted, this is common to all empires. Non-aggressive, meritocratic, free countries simply do not become empires.
It smacks of desperation
It humbles the Europeans. Because they finally are seeing the obvious, if you are dependent on another who is not dependent on you, you are the vassal. NATO protects them, but not against the US. The US global financial dominance provides them protection but not against the US. They are dependent on the US for everything and day by day deepening their dependency. It’s a bitch-slap.
He is viewing the matter from perspective of strategic American interests.
Or maybe he will make himself King of Greenland and profit handsomely from the venture? Seems to be his M.O. On the other hand, Europeans should be viewing it from the perspective of strategic European interests, and the last thing they need is a massive US base so close to them. They are again being shown their pathetic impotence.
Yes. My guess is that he’ll rename it Trumpland. That is, if his not-so-secret plans to birth an American hereditary monarchy trip over his ever-growing Pinocchio nose. He’s already profiting handsomely from his presidential venture, probably hoping to beat Musk to the Trillion. King of Greenland has a nice Titanicky ring to it, evoking images of impending disaster in everyone but himself. Don Jr must have nightmares about how he and his family will live with that when it hits the iceberg that is surely ahead in its path. People like Don Sr always seem to remember the Pride part and not the Fall that invariably follows. The fate of all tyrants is the same.Europe is now in a time of reckoning. It must stand on its own or concede the US is not its friend in any way shape or form, and concede that the EU Empire-building project is over unless it can defend itself from the US. That means it must expel US forces from all of its territorial claims. Hard to see how that can happen unless the EU goes hat in hand to Russia for its defence. Putin might help under very tight controls, but his successor probably won’t. The Ukraine fiasco has seen to that. The Age of Empires is with us once more. Pax per dictatum. Humanity has learned nothing it seems.

There seems to be a contradiction among the Ukrainian far right that wants war with Russia.
They say they want their independence from Russia, but at the same time they want to be part of NATO and the European Union. These two organizations are the biggest anti-nationalist and globalist enterprises on the planet. Of course NATO and the European Union would destroy immediately any sense of Ukrainian nationalism should Ukraine actually achieve its goals of defeating Russia.
Insane.
While living in Ukraine (and attending Euromaidan) I quickly concluded that the Banderites are essentially brainwashed. They have a fundamental hatred for Russians and Jews, but all they do is serve the Jews – the Jews run Ukraine, unabashedly and openly. I would point this out and the response was unanimously, “we will get rid of the Russians and then turn to the Jews, who will be easier”.
I suppose this is what they tell themselves. Of course they will never go after the Jews, and it certainly wouldn’t be “easier” if they did, since the Jews would marshal the entire world against them. It’s easy to just conclude they are stupid tools, but they just follow their leaders, and their leaders are Jews. So they are not unlike … most Americans and other Europeans. Except they at least have the stated goal of eventually turning their attention to their leaders, who like in most of the “West”, are the root cause of their problems.
Mayer Amschel Bauer (name later changed to Rothschild), original architect of the Rothschild family fortune, was born in 1744 in Frankfurt, Germany. He allegedly embezzled the family fortune (that enabled him and his sons to launch central banks in the four major European powers of the time) from Prince William of Hesse.
However, if you look at Rothschild portraits and Hesse/Habsburg/Lorraine/Hohenzollern/etc. portraits you can’t tell one group from the other. And it seems beyond incredible that Prince William would have entrusted such a fortune to an unknown Jew of meager means. Or, for that matter, that a money-changer Jew would be named “Bauer” (“Farmer” in German), if you understand anything about Jewish culture.
Most likely the Rothschilds were part of the blue blood/black nobility that ruled all of Europe at that time and converted to Judaism, with the coordination of the House of Hesse and no doubt the rest of the clan. Only genetic testing can confirm/refute.
Communism was actually supposed to eliminate prostitution
According to the authoritative source, the Communist Manifesto, marriage is to be destroyed and replaced with a “community of women”. What do you think that means? I guess the men would share the women without giving the women any commitment or money? Doesn’t seem plausible.
“The Communists have no need to introduce community of women; it has existed almost from time immemorial.” You see, according to Communists, the “bourgeois” (and, obviously, this means the Christian) “sees his wife a mere instrument of production.” And of course the Communists will spare women the tyranny of marriage, of being a “mere instrument of production”. They can just hook on the corner and “live free”.
So, no, Communism was not supposed to eliminate prostitution. Communism was (is) supposed to eliminate monogamy and, most importantly, marriage. That’s what today’s “culture wars” are largely about. What, aside from prostitution, is left, given the dynamics at play? Even incels plus webcams amounts to the same.
Converted to what? When did you convert to “Christianity”? Oh, no – it was forced on you by your parents and society! You poor thing. How will you survive this horror?
There are literally 100s of millions of people who have converted voluntarily to Islam. Who do you think forced the Nation of Islam at the point of a sword on Black Americans? And who forced Muhammad and his disciples to be Muslims? Was it the sword too? Did they force each other?
And who all became Christian “voluntarily”? You think all the tribes in the Roman Empire just gave up their ancestral religion b/c they were so convinced by the metaphysics of the Trinity or the absurdity of the tale of Noah? LMAO. The fact that 1/3rd of Romans were slaves and had to believe as ordered doesn’t play a role either, right? How did Christianity come to the Americas? More of this “Trinity-and-Noah convincing” that the boundless tribes’ ancestral religions were all wrong?
Aside perhaps from Saudi Barbaria, created by “Christians”, no Muslim country forces citizens to be Muslims. So they are all “voluntary”.
Not saying you self-proclaimed Christians are any more hypocritical, arrogant and ignorant than others – just that, unlike your imagined superiority, you are no better either. None one iota. And in the end, you really aren’t Christian at all. You just don’t get it.
It’s clear that your purpose is not to understand why those things were said, or my arguments, or in fact to understand Christianity more than you do, but to defend Islam and oppose Christianity in any way the opportunity presents.
That’s patent projection.
I’m now more convinced than ever that Islam is fundamentally adversarial and indeed that the infidel is treated like an enemy
OK, I understand you pretend to have compassion and love, but truly you have no understanding of the concepts, so consumed you are with hatred, arrogance and narcissism.
And even though I’ve been to many Muslim countries and have had many Muslim friends, so I can actually speak from experience instead of ignorant, self-righteous hate, I am not Muslim. If anything I am Christian. But not a hateful, zealous one like you.
So that’s what this is all about. I said nothing vitriolic, I merely stated that Islam is fundamentally adversarial. You’ve clearly reacted out of all proportion to what may be a simple misunderstanding on my part or an unhelpfully shallow view of Islam, and you’ve been unrelentingly adversarial and vitriolic about it. Looking back, it looks like a whole lot of Christianity bashing. If what I said about Islam is false then by all means correct me from the Q’uran just as you’ve presumed to do with the Bible. I have a copy on my bookshelf. But I have to say that so far your own behavior is proving me right.Replies: @CalDre
Just go back to how our conversation started: with your vitriolic and false proclamations about Islam
I said nothing vitriolic, I merely stated that Islam is fundamentally adversarial.
And that “Muslims see unbelievers as the enemy”. Seems vitriolic to me, par. since it’s a lie.
you’ve been unrelentingly adversarial and vitriolic about it.
Pray tell, how so? I’ve debated that false claim with you and used evidence from scripture to back it up, with plenty of actual cites. You, on the other hand, have not provided a single cite to back up your (false) claims.
it looks like a whole lot of Christianity bashing.
So quoting from the Bible is now “Christianity bashing”? So let me tell you what is going on here: you denounced Islam as, essentially, virulently hateful (“enemy” implies not just hate but desire to injure) and adversarial, while saying Christianity is pure love. Hence my reference to your “idolization” of Christianity and “vitriol” against Islam. And I used direct cites from the Bible, not generalizations, to make my point that Christianity is not as loving as you romanticize it to be. And your response: I am evil and bashing Christianity. Seriously, dude, now I will make a generalization: what I see is a BLIND and DELUDED ZEALOT, and what I don’t see from you is any of that PURE LOVE.
I don’t make false claims about Christianity, whether pro or con, and the same holds true of Islam and Judaism. I do view Judaism as a fundamentally diabolical ideology because, well, it clearly and unmistakably is judging it purely by its commandments (and its myths, e.g. Noah’s flood and the plagues and the like), and both Islam and Christianity suffer greatly because they are based on that ideology, but both suffer about equally. And both are universalist rather than having the extreme tribe-supremacism/chauvinism as Judaism.
by all means correct me from the Q’uran just as you’ve presumed to do with the Bible
Like Christianity (as I pointed out in our thread – not in “bashing”, as you characterize it, since quoting from the Bible cannot possibly be “bashing”, it is simply fact, maybe facts you don’t like but still facts) Islam has contradictory texts. This page goes through them in great detail; in particular, Qu’ran 60 is on point – you will see many of the quotes, taken out of context by the deceivers, in Qu’ran 60:1-7, but continue to read Qu’ran 60:8-9, and you will see the full context (and material misstatements accomplished by material omissions are, indeed, lies and fraud).
Another perspective of it is here (as in the previous summary I linked, there is no cherry-picking, like you seem to do with Christianity; they recite the “bad” references as well as the “good”). And it’s important to distinguish how the Qu’ran states Allah will treat disbelievers with how Muslims should treat disbelievers, and that from how Muslims do treat disbelievers, which is what your utterly false generalization was about – go yourself to a true mosque and talk to the worshipers as a Christian and tell me, do they treat you like an enemy? And like Christianity, Islam accepts the concept of repentance. But in both religions, disbelievers do not go to heaven (which leaves hell, despite your protestations to the contrary). However, Islam does not incorporate anything as draconian and evil as 17 Deut. 2-7!
By 'serious', I mean a deep and sincere commitment to their faith, actively integrating their religious beliefs, such as loving God and others, into every aspect of daily life. It is a life of discipleship and transformation, not merely a casual association or identity. That includes seeking to understand the deeper implications of one's faith, particularly in respect of the beliefs of others while holding firm to the normal convictions of one's own faith.
What do you mean by “serious”?
I agree agree entirely with the first part but not necessarily the second. I say not 'necessarily' because there's a difference between the infallibility of God (and by Christian association his son Jesus) and the infallibility of one's own beliefs. Men's beliefs are inherently fallible, yet god isnot. That, in essence, is the point of having a religion, so one's own errors and mistakes can be corrected without dire consequences.
it’s healthy to always cast a critical eye on your own beliefs, and faith, and one can only do that if one dispenses with the presumption of one’s own infallibility.
...
What the heck are you fabricating here? I gave you specific quotes re: “eternal punishment”, “eternal fire” and being “tormented day and night forever and ever”.
I'm not fabricating or ignoring anything. I'm digging into the Scriptures more deeply to try to understand your perspective. The English language is often a poor translation of the Biblical message which was originally formulated in Hebrew and Greek so the logical place to look is the original languages. I have a graduate degree in theology so am accustomed to doing this whenever there's a dispute about what the Bible actually means. Even though my knowledge of Hebrew and Greek is woefully inadequate going back to the original languages helps us to understand things that didn't translate well into English. There are clearly nuances here that shouldn't be ignored if we want to come to a mutual understanding about what the Scriptures were originally about. I hope that's your goal also.
If you can selectively ignore multiple consistent texts of the Bible b/c you don’t like them
This is a very good point. There are contradictions in the Bible, some apparent, some real, many of which are down to errors in translation, but some which are still unresolved. That's why we study things like literary genre of the books of the Bible, their cultural context, the age in which they were written, by whom and why they were written, etc etc. This in only an introductory list of ways serious Christians (and I hope serious adherents of other established faiths) grow in the understanding of their own faith. Even if one believes their religions are complete, Man's understanding is not, and Man's tendency to err is everywhere.
There’s enough contradictory text that anyone can believe almost anything and attribute it to the Bible. Another reason not to believe in the infallibility of your own particular vision.
there’s a difference between the infallibility of God (and by Christian association his son Jesus) and the infallibility of one’s own beliefs. Men’s beliefs are inherently fallible
So if your beliefs are fallible, it follows, obviously, that your belief that God and Jesus are infallible (or actually exist or existed, let alone the Trinity) is also fallible. In fact it would be absurd to argue otherwise, but zealots do anyway, since by definition logic is not their forte.
Even though my knowledge of Hebrew and Greek is woefully inadequate going back to the original languages helps us to understand things that didn’t translate well into English.
They are (were) dead languages and nobody knows what they “really mean” (well, aside from those who believe they are “infallible”, lol). But, the “eternal punishment” part is quite clear and I doubt that is a translation issue, there is far more nuance/ambiguity in other words.
Why, I don’t know.
Just go back to how our conversation started: with your vitriolic and false proclamations about Islam and your similarly false contradistinction of Christianity (all despite the obvious history of Christians having murdered untold millions of “infidels” and “savages”, let alone their barbaric internicine warfare and violent inter-sect rivalries – “you will know them by their fruits” ring a bell? well it applies to all beliefs, doesn’t it?). Maybe stick to your idolization of Christianity, which you obviously know, and stop with your slander of Islam, which you obviously don’t know?
So that’s what this is all about. I said nothing vitriolic, I merely stated that Islam is fundamentally adversarial. You’ve clearly reacted out of all proportion to what may be a simple misunderstanding on my part or an unhelpfully shallow view of Islam, and you’ve been unrelentingly adversarial and vitriolic about it.

I don’t see how you can claim to be a Christian and call the Old Testament vile crap.
I feel sorry for you. But you didn’t answer my question: if your faith is so infallible, would you kill your mother, sister and daughter if any of them didn’t share your beliefs?
Well since Christians believe Jesus is God (the Trinity), 17 Deut. 2-7 answers the question, and it quite directly commands you to kill the disbeliever, even if it is your wife, your son or your father.
Of course, I don’t believe anything in the Old Testament, I think it’s vile crap, but the vast majority of self-professed Christians believe in it. It’s their “infallible” “faith”.
If your faith is so infallible, does that mean you follow such commandments? Or maybe there is room for doubt in this one? And maybe others too?
The laws of Deuteronomy are part of the old covenant of Moses that was rejected by Christ for the very reason that God does not want people to treat others that way. Christians are to treat people with agape love, which is the relationship between subject and object that builds worth in the object. We look back at the Deuteronomic laws for Christian perspective, not instruction in what to do.
Deut. 2-7 answers the question, and it quite directly commands you to kill the disbeliever
Not sure about this. Obviously respecting another faith is possible without accepting it for oneself, but I don’t see how one can be serious about any faith without believing it to be the only true path. Unserious or nominal beliefs maybe, but in every main religion I can think of, for serious practitioners to accept that any other faith is viable would compromise the theology of that religion at some point even the most universalist religions. I’ll have to think on that a bit more.With regard to the ‘hell’ question, the English word ‘hell’ is a generalized translation of four different concepts from the original Bible languages - Sheol from Hebrew, and Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus from Greek and none of these seem to apply specifically as eternal punishment for unbelief. The Hebrew word Sheol appears in the Old Testament and refers to the place where the dead reside, without specifically denoting punishment or reward e.g. Psalm 16:10, Eccl 9:10, cf. Acts 2:27. The Greek word Hades is used in the New Testament as the equivalent of Sheol. It generally refers to the realm of the dead rather than a place of torment after judgement e.g. Lk 16:22-23, Rev 20:13-14. The latter verse shows that Hades is destroyed, therefore it is a temporary holding place for the dead before final judgment.The word Gehenna comes from the Hebrew “Valley of Hinnom” (Geh-Hinnom), a place outside Jerusalem where garbage and corpses were burned. Jesus used this word to describe the final punishment of the wicked e.g. Mt 10:28, Mk 9:47-48. Tartarus is used only once in the Bible and refers to a place of deep imprisonment for fallen angels, not for humans (2 Pet 2:4).Of these four original Bible language words for Hell, Gehenna is the only one that describes eternal torment or separation from God and it clearly referring to people who don’t believe Christ is God as you asserted earlier. In any case, some theologians argue that an eternal place of human torment would be a torture for God, who loves even the most wicked person, which is why I said earlier that some people believe Hell exists and some people don’t. For me, it’s convenient to see Hell as the spiritually barren place before I came to faith, and more importantly a place to be wary of in my faith journey moving forward.Replies: @CalDre

I don’t see how one can be serious about any faith without believing it to be the only true path
What do you mean by “serious”? To kill and die for it? Maybe you shouldn’t? If you don’t permit the possibility that you are wrong, again, that is the definition of arrogance and pomposity. It’s also dangerous. Nobody is infallible. Even Jesus had second thoughts as he was crucified. Matthew 27:46.
it’s healthy to always cast a critical eye on your own beliefs, and faith, and one can only do that if one dispenses with the presumption of one’s own infallibility. After all, you (or at least the vast, vast majority of folks) only have your faith b/c you were taught it as a child before having critical capacity to question it. “It just happens” that your parents were right about everything and everyone else’s wrong about everything (and everyone else thinks likewise). Uh-huhh.

You are a lying idiot. Period. Full stop.
But worth noting that you laugh when someone asks you for evidence for your lies. That just makes you diabolical and, obviously, a far lesser being than those whom you so vehemently condemn.
Technically no infidel nation can make peace with a Muslim subjugated land. Islam allows that the Muslims pretend to make peace, lay low, just until they gain enough strength to return to full Jihad war. Permanent peace is not allowed by the doctrines of Islam.

Thanks for weighing in. Christians are certainly responsible for many acts of violence, you’ll get no argument from me against that. Throughout the history of the Church, there have been many so-called ‘believers’ who go into places preaching about a God they barely understand while acting contrary to His commands. That still happens, and it happens in every religion, even the secular religions of Westernism, Israel First-ism, petro-dollarism, Americanism, atheism and scientism.
Christians are also well known for hating, and viiolently attacking, those who think differently from themselves. A long, long history of that.
I don’t hate Muslims. As I’ve stated elsewhere on TUR, I know several Muslims and have never met one I didn’t like. In fact the person of faith I respect most for her devotion to her faith is Muslim, more than I can say for most of the Christians I know.
it seems you do actually hate Muslims
I suppose this could be true if you rail against the concept of firm belief in something that requires faith. But don’t confuse the commitments of faith with pomposity and arrogance. Of course there will always be believers who are pompous and arrogant, but that says more about them than their beliefs. I think you understand this already.
almost every person is pompous and arrogant enough to believe that their own beliefs are the best and everyone else is wrong.
This is true in context. The context is that Christianity is all about belief in Christ the divine personhood of God. That wasn’t always the case, for three hundred years or so after Jesus’ crucifixion, his divinity was only in the hearts of the faithful. And since that is the basis of Christian belief it makes logical sense that if you don’t believe in Christ the divine person and his power to save people from separation from God, you will be separate from God. That’s simply logic. It’s not arrogant to state the plain logic of it. It may surprise you to know that Hell isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Some Christians believe it exists but many don’t. I recognize that separation from God through the unbelief of my youth is vastly different to being in his presence as a mature man of faith, so I suppose that could point back to a place some people call Hell. I certainly don’t want to go back to that dark and spiritually lonely place.Replies: @CalDre
Unlike Christianity, Islam doesn’t state that if you don’t believe Christ is God you will burn in Hell for eternity, or at least have no chance of salvation.
This is actually meant as a reply to Jackabond but due to some broken HTML I can’t reply to that one ….
I don’t hate Muslims.
Good to know, but that makes me curious what drives you to write that Muslims view all nonbelievers as the enemy. The worst treatment is for Muslims who abandon the religion (as opposed to those who never believed in the first instance), which is akin to the Jewish treatment of apostasy. Though Judaism is extremely draconian, see e.g. 17 Deut. 2-7, and as Deuteronomy is “officially” part of Christianity, the punishment from the Church for apostasy was often death as well. The fact is that outside perhaps Saudi Barbaria (or more generally the anti-human Wahhabist sect, which trains terrorists to hate in their “madrassas“, all with the approval and support of the “Christian West”), nobody imposes the death penalty for apostasy. I don’t consider Wahhabism to be Islam and it would be most deceitful to equate Wahhabist views – which stem from the House of Saud, which the West obviously put into power after defeating the Ottoman Empire – with Islam.
But don’t confuse the commitments of faith with pomposity and arrogance.
When your faith tells you only you are right and everyone who believes otherwise is wrong, well, that is the definition of pomposity and arrogance. It is possible to have faith without believing you have some monopoly on the truth. For example, you may believe Jesus is the Son of God, or is God, whatever you make of the Trinity, but that doesn’t mean that you have to believe Muslims are wrong in believing Jesus was “merely” a prophet. It is possible, in other words, to respect different faiths and beliefs and not to postulate the infallibility of your own beliefs/faith.
… And since that is the basis of Christian belief it makes logical sense that if you don’t believe in Christ the divine person and his power to save people from separation from God, you will be separate from God. That’s simply logic. It’s not arrogant to state the plain logic of it.
The point I am making is that the Islamic logic regarding unbelievers is similarly “logical”. The problem is that logic follows from predicates, and if you don’t agree on those, it matters not one bit whether or not the conclusion is “logical”.
It may surprise you to know that Hell isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
There are many references to what people call “Hell”, and a number of passages actually use the word “hell”. See e.g. here and here. In particular, Matthew 25:46 speaks of “eternal life” vs. “eternal punishment”; Revelation 20:10 refers to the devil being thrown into “the lake of fire and sulfur” to be “tormented day and night forever and ever”; Matthew 25:31-46 refers to those who do not help others (by e.g. not feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, not visiting the imprisoned) as those who will “go away into eternal punishment”, which in Matthew 25:41 is akin to “the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels”; Matthew 5:29-30, 10:28, 16:19, 18:9, 23:15, 23:33, which actually use the word “hell” (in the context you would expect); etc., etc.
Not sure about this. Obviously respecting another faith is possible without accepting it for oneself, but I don’t see how one can be serious about any faith without believing it to be the only true path. Unserious or nominal beliefs maybe, but in every main religion I can think of, for serious practitioners to accept that any other faith is viable would compromise the theology of that religion at some point even the most universalist religions. I’ll have to think on that a bit more.With regard to the ‘hell’ question, the English word ‘hell’ is a generalized translation of four different concepts from the original Bible languages - Sheol from Hebrew, and Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus from Greek and none of these seem to apply specifically as eternal punishment for unbelief. The Hebrew word Sheol appears in the Old Testament and refers to the place where the dead reside, without specifically denoting punishment or reward e.g. Psalm 16:10, Eccl 9:10, cf. Acts 2:27. The Greek word Hades is used in the New Testament as the equivalent of Sheol. It generally refers to the realm of the dead rather than a place of torment after judgement e.g. Lk 16:22-23, Rev 20:13-14. The latter verse shows that Hades is destroyed, therefore it is a temporary holding place for the dead before final judgment.The word Gehenna comes from the Hebrew “Valley of Hinnom” (Geh-Hinnom), a place outside Jerusalem where garbage and corpses were burned. Jesus used this word to describe the final punishment of the wicked e.g. Mt 10:28, Mk 9:47-48. Tartarus is used only once in the Bible and refers to a place of deep imprisonment for fallen angels, not for humans (2 Pet 2:4).Of these four original Bible language words for Hell, Gehenna is the only one that describes eternal torment or separation from God and it clearly referring to people who don’t believe Christ is God as you asserted earlier. In any case, some theologians argue that an eternal place of human torment would be a torture for God, who loves even the most wicked person, which is why I said earlier that some people believe Hell exists and some people don’t. For me, it’s convenient to see Hell as the spiritually barren place before I came to faith, and more importantly a place to be wary of in my faith journey moving forward.Replies: @CalDre

You’re not the enemy, not sure where that idea came from. Muslims see unbelievers as the enemy, as their religion is fundamentally adversarial. Christianity isn’t like that at all. You may see it that way through your unbelieving eyes, but it’s fundamentally about love. Not your Kum Bay Ya kind of love but real love, the relationship between subject and object that creates worth in the object and not merely responds to worth which is what the world at large seeks to do. As a Christian, I see every unbeliever as a fellow image-bearer of God. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with each other, or dig deeply into each other’s ideas and debate one another. I’m sorry that feels like enmity to you. It is not. As far being on the same side, in terms of wanting to defeat evil we would be, but in terms of how to go about it that question is still unresolved. As a believer, evil is defeated by leading people to Christ. I have faith in Christ, because I see in him the only way that evil can actually BE defeated. I do not have faith in the Bible, or any of the stories it contains. Bible stories are just the inspired words of men that show how God has revealed himself through time, leaving footprints that lead to the revelation of Christ. I don’t know where you learned all of your Bible knowledge, which is better than most, but they’ve really not helped your spiritual development. That’s on them, not you. All those TV-watching Trump-loving, Christians you mention who love the Bible and lap up all that the Jews are doing just because they are Jews have also missed one of the central aspects of their supposed belief, which is that Christ came to end the religion they created, you know the one that worshipped Abraham and his descendants as LORDs of all the earth. It had to end because it became an abomination, with focus on bloodlines and rituals and…well, themselves and their incessant Chosenism. But, and that’s a big BUT, I take my spiritual direction from the Bible (not merely the stiries it contains, but from what is says about God and how he wants people to act) and have studied it for well over twenty years. It informs my faith but it is not the object of my faith. I don’t rally around Christianity either, I pick away at the many failings of Christians to act according to the precepts of their faith, of whom Christian Zionists are but one misguided faction. There’s a lot more I can discuss but it will bore people here on TUR. The question I posed before still remains unanswered: what do unbelievers do about evil committed by those who believe they are above everyone else because of a perceived special relationship with God and who have all-encompassing worldly power? Telling them the story of Abraham is a lie will do nothing as they couldn’t care less about that story, except the part about how Abe’s descendants will be a great nation. They have that delusion because they rejected the deeper lessons of the Bible and failed to act accordingly. So it will go with Christians who do the same thing.Replies: @CalDre, @James J. O'Meara
stop viewing me as the enemy, when in fact, we are on the same side, we both want evil defeated.
Muslims see unbelievers as the enemy, as their religion is fundamentally adversarial.
No, they don’t, and no, it isn’t.
Christianity isn’t like that at all. You may see it that way through your unbelieving eyes
Your lack of situational awareness is utterly astounding. Since no doubt someone as superior as you can’t figure it out: your take on Islam, “through your unbelieving eyes”, is even more absurd. Unlike Christianity, Islam doesn’t state that if you don’t believe Christ is God you will burn in Hell for eternity, or at least have no chance of salvation. Which is pretty rough on people who have been taught to believe other things, let alone have never heard of Christ, isn’t it, you so deeply loving Christian?
The fact is almost every person is pompous and arrogant enough to believe that their own beliefs are the best and everyone else is wrong. That’s almost a direct consequence of consciousness. In this regard you are no different than the Muslims you accuse of viewing those who think differently as the “enemy”, as it seems you do actually hate Muslims. And Christians are also well known for hating, and viiolently attacking, those who think differently from themselves. A long, long history of that.
Thanks for weighing in. Christians are certainly responsible for many acts of violence, you’ll get no argument from me against that. Throughout the history of the Church, there have been many so-called ‘believers’ who go into places preaching about a God they barely understand while acting contrary to His commands. That still happens, and it happens in every religion, even the secular religions of Westernism, Israel First-ism, petro-dollarism, Americanism, atheism and scientism.
Christians are also well known for hating, and viiolently attacking, those who think differently from themselves. A long, long history of that.
I don’t hate Muslims. As I’ve stated elsewhere on TUR, I know several Muslims and have never met one I didn’t like. In fact the person of faith I respect most for her devotion to her faith is Muslim, more than I can say for most of the Christians I know.
it seems you do actually hate Muslims
I suppose this could be true if you rail against the concept of firm belief in something that requires faith. But don’t confuse the commitments of faith with pomposity and arrogance. Of course there will always be believers who are pompous and arrogant, but that says more about them than their beliefs. I think you understand this already.
almost every person is pompous and arrogant enough to believe that their own beliefs are the best and everyone else is wrong.
This is true in context. The context is that Christianity is all about belief in Christ the divine personhood of God. That wasn’t always the case, for three hundred years or so after Jesus’ crucifixion, his divinity was only in the hearts of the faithful. And since that is the basis of Christian belief it makes logical sense that if you don’t believe in Christ the divine person and his power to save people from separation from God, you will be separate from God. That’s simply logic. It’s not arrogant to state the plain logic of it. It may surprise you to know that Hell isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Some Christians believe it exists but many don’t. I recognize that separation from God through the unbelief of my youth is vastly different to being in his presence as a mature man of faith, so I suppose that could point back to a place some people call Hell. I certainly don’t want to go back to that dark and spiritually lonely place.Replies: @CalDre

Carlson is part of the machine building Hamas up into next year’s freedom fighting Viet Cong equivalent.
But they are freedom fighters; the invader-settlers are the terrorists. However, the invader-terrorists and their tribe rule the West, and Hamas rules only Gaza.
How that can be a victory for White people or Western Civilisation, beats me.
It’s a victory for White people to stop alienating and antagonizing the entire planet b/c of the insular chauvinist ideology of a group of terrorist invaders. I don’t get the impression TC wants to nominate them for a Nobel Prize; rather recognizing the validity of Hamas and its cause is something anyone not brainwashed with Jewish supremacism would do, and so what TC is trying to do is deprogram the White cattle and that is as fair a place to start as any, given the circumstances of the world today.
yer right, CalDre:FIRST, Christians built the vast network of Roman roads, then aqueducts, then systems of government, THEN their apostles & preachers, like Paul, used those Roman roads that they built to travel all over the empire to spread their ideas.Replies: @CalDre
First of all, all of those things developed mostly under Christianity – everything from Roman technology on (even though that was a relatively short period in human history).
FIRST, Christians built the vast network of Roman roads, then aqueducts, then systems of government
Those obviously predated Rome’s adoption of Christianity. The Romans incorporated the technologies of every place they conquered or traveled too, such as from the Greeks, Etruscans, Celts and others.
And that was about 300,000 years after humans supposedly evolved. Look at everything invented in the 2,000 years since: rockets, airplanes, ICE/automobiles, particle colliders, computers, nuclear reactors, cellphones, etc.
To clarify the negatives: No other people in the ancient world had a holy book; only Jews did.
To clarify, it was the Levites who had a written Tanakh, for the other tribes (including Jesus’) it was still oral (and, I would add, very different from the Levi version).
Moreover, many religious books predate the Tanakh. The Sumerians created a tablet, the Kesh Temple Hymn (or Liturgy to Nintud), on the creation of man and woman as early as 2600 BC. Also ancient are Egyptian texts, carved on pyramid walls and within the sarcophagi of the Saqqara pyramids, containing religious instructions (e.g. burial of the pharaohs), called the Pyramid Texts, and a separate set called the Coffin Texts and also the Book of the Dead. Then there is the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, the Hindu Rigveda, Samaveda and Yajurveda, etc. And these are just the ones that survived to the 19th century or so, so that they were chronicled.
In the Roman world, the most consequential texts were authored by the Roman scholar Varro.
Maybe you know of some books, texts etc. that defined what Roman pagans were required to believe to remain in the good graces of their religion.
That is not what “religion” means. Religion often, but not always, includes a moral code and prescribes punishments for its violation (either in the here or the hereafter); Judaism is an entire body of law with courts to enforce them and is probably the most aggressive of religions in this regard. More generally, religion is a system of beliefs/practices that connects believers to the supernatural or spiritual world, which is why even the Pyramid Texts are considered “religious”. Religion often, but not necessarily, involves moral codes, rituals, and a sense of community. Roman religion emphasized rituals and ceremonies (and of course belief in the gods), but also had priests and various requirements to follow, lest the gods be angered. Which is pretty much true of Judaism as well, their god gets very angry, heck, destroyed the entire world once he was so filled with hate and anger (the Noah tale).
“Romans made a mistake: they thought that by destroying the temple they would destroy the Jews”
That’s just silly. Romans viewed the Temple as a center of Jewish resistance and the Jewish revolt, which it no doubt was; they laid siege to the city and destroyed many parts of it, as was common in all sieges of the time.
For over a thousand years, Romans got along without such a book, or prescribed gods
The gods were all prescribed, i.e., it was a known set with known areas of responsibility. E.g. Jupiter was the king of the gods, Mars was the god of war, Neptune the god of the sea.
But still nobody has answered the original question: if Christianity is to die, what is to replace it? Atheism is Communist/materialist; and these types of folks have attempted, unsuccessfully despite expenditures of vast fortunes, to replace belief in the supernatural with the belief in non-scientific myths (Big Bang, Evolution and the like) and to instill the core belief that life has no purpose and is just some random development (from what, though, they have no answer to). This suits the purpose of the Global Mafia b/c people without beliefs or purpose are very easy to control, as they have no principles to rest objections on, which control is, after all, the principal goal of the Global Mafia and their endless assets.
How about the story of him entering a room of naked teenage girls at a beauty pageant
There’s so much more, even though, at this point OBVIOUSLY, a great deal is being covered up by the Global Mafia/Deep State that rules the West. For example, the many women who have credibly accused the Orange Rapist of sexually assaulting them (16 accusations, two of which amount to rape, apart from the entire Epstein crime syndicate).
Two more recent revelations: here and here.
The latter is about an Epstein survivor who claimed that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raped her in a posh hotel (and that the rape was arranged by a woman “with a funny name”). The victim, who refused to report the crime to police for fear of being killed, was later found dead with bullet holes in her head, and her death was ruled as a suicide (even though the investigating police claimed that was impossible).
Oh yes, the “suicide“. That’s the model where Global Mafia soldiers enter your home, force a gun into your hand, point it at your head, and pull the trigger. Sometimes more than once.
I can’t believe anyone still takes Tucker Carlson seriously.
He is an opportunistic liar and a complete fraud.
Doesn’t anyone remember why he was booted off Fox news? He was on the air supporting Trump, while simultaneously trashing him in private texts.
You can’t believe a word that fucking rat says.
You are, pray tell, aware that there was a time … when there was no Hebrew book and no Christ operating system
Derrrhhhhhhh … ahhhhhhh …. yup. Did you notice the six other gods I listed? But in those times virtually all tribes/city-states/empires – and certainly all of the “advanced” societies you reference – did have a religion. So I was obviously asking, what to replace Christianity with? Did you understand that simple question? Because it seems it went over your head. The only ones who want to eliminate religion altogether are Bolsheviks. Are you a Bolshevik, Zumbuddi?
yet millions of people lived and developed highly successful, creative, cultures, art, languages, and systems of organizing people for mutual benefit.
First of all, all of those things developed mostly under Christianity – everything from Roman technology on (even though that was a relatively short period in human history). But, again, all of the most advanced societies – be it Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Chinese, Indian, Mesopotamian – that existed before Christ had their religion and gods. I presume every society of any significant advancement had one, but that’s impossible to prove (or disprove), so I am sticking with what are generally considered the most advanced societies at or before the birth of Christ.
To clarify the negatives: No other people in the ancient world had a holy book; only Jews did.For over a thousand years, Romans got along without such a book, or prescribed gods: similar to, perhaps in imitation of the older, neighboring Persian empire, Romans incorporated in their 'pantheon' the gods and associated practices of all the groups that became incorporated into the Roman polity. Curiously, Christianity's origins are smack-dab in the middle of the Jewish rebellion against Rome -- the rebellions Barry Strauss wrote about; the rebellions in which Jews in Jerusalem's precincts were conquered and their temple destroyed; the destruction that, H. Sacher wrote, signaled the birth of zionism -- "a href = "https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1919/07/a-jewish-palestine/303393/"> The Zionist movement dates from A.D. 70, the year of the destruction of the Temple and the Jewish State.Barry Strauss says that most of the information that went into his book is from Josephus, a Jewish general in charge of one of the campaigns that Romans crushed; who "turned traitor", according to Strauss, and allied himself with Titus, in whose household in Rome he lived for the rest of his life and also the only source other than the bible that mentions "Jesus." Curious.In "Commissary to the Gentiles, Marcus Eli Ravage, a Romanian Jew who migrated to America, wrote
"Romans made a mistake: they thought that by destroying the temple they would destroy the Jews, but "Jews, unlike most if not every other people in the ancient world, they have a holy book, the Torah..."
Does he make a fair case? It's a fact that BEFORE the Jewish wars against Rome and near-simultaneous emergence of the Christ figure, there was no prescribed Roman religious dogma, but AFTER the wars, the transition of Josephus from Jewish general to resident in the household of the Roman leader, 'Romans' began to exchange letters about a Christ-figure, most of them influenced by Saul-Paul, himself a Jewish rabbi who experienced a dramatic conversion.

There is ZERO evidence that Trump was fucking children.
What’s “evidence”? Would a video showing the Orange Pedophile raping a young boy serve, or would that necessarily be an AI fake?
There’s only “no evidence” if you ignore not only the “easily prove beyond a reasonable doubt” mounds of circumstantial evidence (most inmates doing hard time have less evidence against them), but witnesses as well. See e.g. here and here. There are dozens who have accused him of rape (though not necessarily minors, it shows how he feels about the need for “consent”).
All no evidence to you, no doubt, b/c, without a shred of evidence yourself, you just discount their stories, ignoring his candid admission of habitual sexual assaults on camera (the infamous “just grab ’em by the pussy”), b/c it makes you feel good for supporting the Orange Pedophile/Warmonger/War Criminal/Traitor/Fraud/Liar/Rapist/Loser/Demon.
Yeah, TC never proclaimed himself a White chauvinist (or a White nationalist for that matter). So basically it’s an article critiquing TC for not having the same ideology as the author. I guess we’ll let the two commentators’ respective “page views” speak for themselves.
And what, pray tell, do you want to worship: Horos, Svetovid, Wōden, Odin, Zeus or Mars? Or what will take the place of the religion around which Western civilization formed, essentially its core? Maybe no religion – the Bolshevik/”woke” route? Or, perhaps, yourself (narcissism)?

We have declassified documents from 1941 showing the Nazi plan to starve millions of Slavs to death as part of the Hunger Plan
<a title=”"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Plan"” href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Plan" title='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Plan'
LOL, if you take away the propaganda from that Wikipedia propaganda article, which removes about 99% of it, what you have left is Germany’s recognition that (a) during the third year of war the Germany army would need to feed itself from Russian resources (not a word about taking food and shipping it to Germany), and (b) this would probably result in the starvation of millions of Russians. The key here is that this was not in any way a desired outcome, but indicated as one of the (many, obviously) negative outcomes of a (preemptive) invasion of the USSR. Should be mentioned, too, that during WW II the British killed millions of Indians by stealing their food to send to the UK, and of course no mention should need be made of the Holodomor, which was food theft leading to mass starvation which Stalin inflicted on his own people (predominantly Russians but Ukrainian nationalists like to pretend it was only Ukrainians). In reference to the latter, the German leadership was all too aware of the starvation that would occur in Europe if the Red Army succeeded in their planned invasion and subjugation. Theses risks need to be weighed against each other, but since Wikipedia is a propaganda outlet, it doesn’t bother with such minutiae.
“It is well known” only to Nazi Übermenschen ideology addled dysfunctional, warped panzerjugend minds such as yours.
It’s well known Stalin regularly massacred retreating soldiers and those who refused to fight. On top of that, as the Red Army retreated eastward at the start of the war, they implemented a “scorched earth” policy but did not evacuate the civilians. Don’t you think it occurred to them if they scorched the earth so that the Wehrmacht could not eat or keep warm, the same problems would inflict the civilians left behind – who didn’t have supply lines from Germany?
Stalin was no saint: thank God.
Of course it’s easy to blame the Germans, that’s all Commies ever do – Stalin was a saint who wouldn’t hurt a fly and Hitler was a monster who wouldn’t help his child. Except that virtual reality has no bearing on actual reality whatsoever.
Yes: he was a monster.

It’s truly hilarious how you Stalinist worshipers constantly project your passionate love and adoration for Koba onto others.

Unlike your fawning idolization of Stalin, and your crude, clumsy efforts to label me as Hitler youth just because I don’t worship Stalin, I don’t claim there is a difference. Since your reading comprehension is as poor as your love for Koba is fervent, let’s remember the context here: you blamed 100 gazillion deaths on Hitler, the better to try to exculpate your beloved hero Uncle Joe. It was to that which I responded. Remember now, comrade?
These are the people youse delusional panzers defend?
I’m not defending any of it, more of your projection.

There was a plan to resettle them, but the genocide/extermination hyperbole is just more idiotic blabbering from the Koba lovers.

He purged some but not close to all. Khrushchev largely finished that job, markedly improving the social structure. And in fact I did point out differences between Stalinism and Bolshevism, but, again, your reading comprehension ….
Russia today is a leading technological power
What on Earth has that to do with Stalin? And Russia leads in a few areas, it’s far behind in far more.
I lived under communism
Under Stalin, eh?
it was a much fairer society and system
And that’s why each of the former Soviet republics, including Russia, and each former Warsaw Pact member, like Latvia and Poland, is now democratically choosing and yearning for the Communist path, eh? Or maybe it’s just some tiny minority of slackers who dream of being safe and secure without having to do anything, the precise mentality which was instrumental in causing Communism to fail everywhere it’s been tried. And nobody has even tried the “pure Communism” of the Communist Manifesto with the abolition of family, religion and ethnicity. But go ahead and try, somewhere far far away from me.
It is fanny how you talk about communism being a slavery
That’s called redirection. I never supported or defended chattel slavery or genocide of natives. It is you who is supporting Communism, the greatest evil ever imagined. Communism is essentially the Ost Plan for the ZioNazis – except it applies to the entire world outside Israel. Which makes you a pathetic ZioNazi tool, and not one bit better than the slave traders or genocidal colonialists – except my guess is you’re not a Jew so it means, if, Heaven forbid, your dreams are eventually realized, you will be enslaved too.
Stalin displayed great organisational skills, creating industrial power house out of relatively backward country.
LOL, sure, he was helped by a global network of Communists/Jews. For example the lend-lease program and countless other initiatives. Stalin was good at murdering and terrorizing his subjects, betraying those loyal to him (not that anyone loyal to that monster deserved better, just saying), and in general a cowardly, anti-human, totalitarian tyrant.
Think space exploration and nuclear energy.
Technologies stolen from others – sure, he threatened to murder the entire families of his German scientist captives to get them to serve him. And other technologies were provided to him directly and indirectly from the global Jewish Communist network / Global Mafia that still hoped they could turn him and regain control over the USSR. Great organizational skills indeed!
Soviets endured enormous sacrifices, but they were all proud of their country
So it seems – b/c they were terrorized into not opposing their country. To do so was to meet death, either from a firing squad or a slow death in the gulags. Lesson was learned after Bolsheviks and Stalinists combined murdered about 20% of the population – a vastly greater percentage, and even much more vastly greater number, than the Israelis killed in Palestine. And yeah, after all the intellectuals were murdered off, most of the rest were just brainwashed peasants happy to support their “god”, as their completely totalitarian media ordered them to do.
Even 70% of Ukies didn’t want it to end (referendum which was ignored).
The referendum was on preserving the Soviet Union, nobody in their right mind wanted to preserve Communism (and you can see what percent of the vote that party got in the various republics after the USSR dissolved). And the Communism of Gorbachev was a gazillion times better than Stalinism. But Stalin didn’t hold any referendums, did he now? And as to voting, we all know his pithy view on that: “The people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do”. Well that is true everywhere ….
Total deaths 800 000
I’m not going to debate numbers with you but even if you are correct, that means he tortured 800,000 people to death, most of whom were in gulag simply for not being a willing slave to the worst tyrant in human history (and most of them expressed their unhappiness privately – and were betrayed by family members or friends, so diabolical was that regime).
Don’t even start on who initiated WW2.
Yeah, that’s where almost everyone is thoroughly brainwashed. Read Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag given upon the launch of Operation Barbarossa. It’s easy enough to find. Then tell me why Hitler was wrong. But there are two basic facts that cut through all the propaganda, sloganeering and ad hominem attacks on this issue. First, the Germans utterly routed the Red Army for the first few months. And this is because the millions of Red Army soldiers within a few hundred kilometers of the USSR’s border with Germany were in offensive positions, not in the defensive positions alleged by the Stalin apologists. If they had been in defensive positions, the battles would have closer resembled Stalingrad. Second, the Red Army soldiers who were routed by the Germans were carrying maps of Germany, including Berlin. Why did they need those if they were defensive?
while communism made huge advances with several successive and successful 5 year plans
Again, Stalin was greatly helped by the Global Mafia network. But compare their “huge advances” with those made by the Nazis in Germany. You want to see real advances, study that. And the Nazis did not use innocent hostages, educated in another country and threatened with the murder of their entire families for lack of cooperation, to achieve their feats. A country that learned from the Nazis successes is China – which is obviously not Communist at all, not on any of the four pillars (abolition of private property, family, religion and ethnicity), though I suppose one could argue about the religious pillar.
How is your capitalist scammery going?
Whatever the problems of capitalism they are a tiny fraction of the problems with Communism. Capitalism has been utterly corrupted by the Global Mafia and doesn’t serve the people, nor is it very capitalistic, and I don’t support large concentrations of capital. I believe each individual has the inherent, God-given right to start their own business, and will fight to the death anyone who tells me that’s illegal. That doesn’t mean I believe one has the right to exploit the labor of others or to concentrate power above a certain level, or to pass that power to their offspring upon death.
I am not a Communist b/c Communism is an ideology designed to enslave humanity to the Global Mafia. Anyone who is a Communist is as much my enemy as a slave trader was the enemy of an 18th century West African (and it’s worth pointing out, the profiteers of the slave trade was … the Global Mafia, the very same Global Mafia that promotes Communism …. hmmmmmm). Again, that does not mean I support other means of exploitation – I think large corporations, after a certain threshold, should be owned either by their employees (in proportion to their salary income or similar measure) or by the State.
the conflict within the Soviet communist party, which, thanks god, resulted in the victory of Soviet proletariat and peasants.
I would hardly call Stalin the protector of those groups – he literally murdered millions of them and as well (and I know most people are taught to believe differently) was the primary reason for the German-Soviet war, which resulted of course in immense suffering of the people you claim he championed. Khrushchev much more so but that involved de-Stalinization of Communism. But I agree that Trotsky was a champion of Jewish supremacism and nothing else.
This is the reason Stalin is demonised in the west and Trotsky protected.
This all has to do with the Jewish issue. Trotsky was a loyal ZioNazi and, as such, he wanted to impose Communism on the non-Jewish world – the cattle – since in Judaism Yahweh has chosen the Jews to rule the world. See e.g. 20 Deut. 10-15, in which Yahweh commands the Jews to enslave the entire planet outside Greater Israel (while 20 Deut. 16-18 commands them to annihilate all non-Jews inside Greater Israel – this is why a Jew can easily be both a Communist and a Zionist, there is no contradiction, both ideologies are simply an expression of Jewish supremacism as reflected in the Jewish bibles, the Tanakh and Talmuds).
In fact, the Western Communists, who in the leadership ranks were primarily Jews but also included their token servile toadies (the “house goy”), called Stalin’s rule “the revolution betrayed” – which, translated from Communist propaganda into English, means “the Jewish coup betrayed”. Even though Jews were able to control Stalin in various ways, including getting him to pursue global Communism despite his claim to be focused on the USSR and to oppose imperialism, and to recognize (capitalist) Israel despite Communism’s claims to be fundamentally anti-capitalist, anti-colonial and anti-imperialist. In return for his loyalty, the Jews gave the USSR the atomic bomb (which they had stolen, via the Rosenbergs, from their US cattle).
Settling amongst the Jewett in New York, [Trotsky] can be considered a father of American neocon movement.
Grandfather – the father was Leon Strauss. Neocons are of course just following the ZioNazi model I outlined above – ZioNazism (“goy” extermination) in Greater Israel and Communism (“goy” slavery) everywhere else.
As to why I relate Communism to slavery – that is precisely what it is designed to be. Many of the ignorant believe Communism is only about the abolishment of private property and the “empowerment” of the proletariat – ha! how tragically ignorant. It is much more than that! – it is also for the abolishment of the family, religion, and nationality (ethnic identity) – see Part II of the Communist Manifesto, often referred to as “cultural Marxism” today and spread by the (very Jewish) Frankfurt school. Regardless of what the proletariat think (who can trust a “goy” to think anyway? they need the (Jewish) vanguard to think for them!). And precisely what category of people, historically, had no religion, family, ethnic identity or private property? Slaves. And nobody else.
I wish I could find a particular article about the West’s participation, showing how all their actions actually benefited the Bolsheviks. Let’s remember Germany objectively supported the Jewish coup of 1917 by allowing Lenin and Trotsky to travel to Russia in the notorious “sealed train”, carrying massive amounts of gold Lenin had procured from Jewish donors in the banking capitols of Switzerland (where Lenin spent the years predating the coup) and Trotsky had procured from Jewish donors on Wall Street (where Trotsky spent the years predating the coup). The explanation for that was that Germany wanted to weaken Russia in light of the ongoing war (WW I). Though of course that explanation, obviously a cover story, was moot by the time the West intervened on behalf of the Jewish junta.
As to Syria, the West didn’t merely undermine the secularists. All the ISIS (as well as subsequent al-Qaeda) leadership was trained at Camp Bucca in Iraq by the CIA. They were then provided with extensive training, equipment (think the massive fleet of Toyota trucks), weapons, etc. by the Turks, Qataris, Saudis, CIA and their respective assets. To make it all “kosher” (i.e. to establish plausible deniability), the CIA created a front organization “The Free Syrian Army”, which was allegedly comprised of “moderate rebels”, and they would have al-Jewlani send his radicalized (by Saudi madrasas) goons to this army to receive weapons and training and once that mission was accomplished they would return to ISIS. Then there were also several massive airdrops of weapons and supplies the CIA assures us were meant for “moderate rebels” which “accidentally” were airdropped right onto the ISIS positions. And there were endless other means of support, don’t want to go too far on a tangent here.
Worth noting, too, in relation to the assassination of Ambassador Stevens in Libya, there was obviously a CIA-ordered stand-down on that occasion. Stevens’ last meeting before the assassination was with the Saudis, with my interpretation being it was a last-ditch effort to bribe him to remain quiet about the fact that the CIA was transferring massive amounts of arms from arm depots near Benghazi (Libya) to ISIS. His death was blamed on al-Qaeda, and since al-Qaeda is and has always been a CIA asset …. you do the math.
I agree, this has to be kept in the open. Al-Qaeda, The Base, was the list of the CIA mercenaries hired to disrupt and ultimately destroy the Afghanistan government. There were never more than 300 names on that list; Bin laden was one such operative, his CIA code name was Tim Osman.
His death was blamed on al-Qaeda, and since al-Qaeda is and has always been a CIA asset …. you do the math.
There is also substantial research to indicate the “Western” intervention was actually in support of the Reds, though, for obvious reasons, publicly promoted as supporting the Whites.
I guess you could also argue that the US and UK were “fighting ISIS” in Syria. That is also the publicly promoted claim, again, for obvious reasons.
Forgot to mention something in regards to incorporation of the Old Testament into Christianity ….
Before the Roman adoption and proselytizing of Christianity, many (all?) Christians, now referred to as Gnostics, completely rejected the Old Testament. In fact it’s not clear, historically speaking, how those books came to be part of Christianity. My view remains that it was incorporated by the Roman emperor Constantine (most certainly not a believer in Jesus) at the First Council of Nicaea, but there does not seem to be a consensus on that (or any other explanation).
Hence my query. What did the Jews (bankers) promise Constantine (or whoever officiated over the “incorporation”) to get him to include that diabolical text into Christianity?
In your opinion, is Yahweh the father God that is referred to in the Trinity
Of course not, I wrote as much in the post to which you are replying. They have certain similarities b/c they are based on a common “original” understanding, but Yahweh, as known today, reflects solely the sect of the Levite rabbis, while the God of Christianity reflects the god worshiped by Jesus’ tribe. That there were many sects is obvious from the fact that the Levis Jews mass-murdered many of them (incl. of course the golden calf worshipers, but also e.g. Hellenized Jews, Sodom and Gomorrah, …).
Now technically Yahweh and the Lord are the same, as the Hebrew YHWH translates literally to Lord, but as we know language evolves and translations can be incorrect, whether deliberately or through misinterpretation. Once one understands that the Jewish Yahweh is a diabolical demon and not our creator or anyone else’s “god”, it makes sense to reject this false translation and not to mix the words. Which is why the Old Testament should refer to Yahweh and the New Testament to God and the Lord, and Christianity should be emancipated from the diabolical evil of the Old Testament (and tell me if you know how it came to be that these “books” were incorporated into Christianity – and in particular, were bribes paid or deals made?).
Deuteronomy is not only in the Torah, it is also in the Christian Bible.
True, but Jesus’ teachings “supersede” those of the Old Testament. While the OT’s Yahweh loves only Jews and, let’s face it, hates everyone else, the NT’s Jesus and Lord love everyone. And one could go on and on and on. On the other hand, the Talmud, which is what the Jews have built on top of their Torah, goes quite in the opposite direction, including denouncing Mary and Jesus in the most objectionable fashion imaginable at the time.
Do not the words of Deuteronomy reflect poorly on all three Abrahamic faiths and not just the Jews?
Despite that, I agree with this point. In fact I don’t believe Jesus ever believed in the Torah, in fact he referred to it essentially as the “Synagogue of Satan” (see 8 John 42-47). I went into more detail on that point here. The key fact is that the Levites – to whom Jesus is referring in the afore-cited 8 John 42-47 – wrote the Torah, while the other tribes, which included Jesus’ tribe, kept an oral tradition. The tribes were separated for centuries and, as you can see with Islam, Christianity and other religions and ideologies, even in the best of worlds with a fixed, written record, sects with major differences will develop over time. But for whatever reason it is now just assumed, without evidence and in fact in the face of the evidence, that all Jews then living believed the same thing, as memorialized in the Torah.
because there is assistance for college students in a variety of ways, you simply didn’t qualify or didn’t bother checking into it.
Earlier, you wrote: “[lower income people] get rental assistance, educational assistance, job training assistance, medical assistance, utilities assistance, transportation assistance, and food/supplies/clothing for free from various food banks,”. Whether any of these is available depends entirely where you live – what state and city, rural or urban, etc. And eligibility requirements vary greatly. On top of that, someone has to apply for these benefits. For each of these reasons, your claim is obviously false.
If a worker pays no income taxes, then there are no such costs to include in pricing.
Another laughable reading comprehension failure. Even if my income does not require me paying income tax, the producers of the goods and services I purchase – think food/farmers or healthcare/doctors, e.g. – do, requiring them to raise their prices. Sure not every farm worker pays income tax but the point is all income taxes paid by a producer, whether on corporate profits or payroll deductions, as well as for property taxes, fuel taxes, tariffs, etc., are reflected in the prices of the produced goods and services, irrespective of the income bracket of the consumer.
many low income families can avoid paying any federal taxes at all
You have a problem with basic reading comprehension, perhaps sue your school system? As I wrote, federal and state income taxes increase the price of all goods and services purchased. Even if I am not paying income tax on my income, I am paying income tax on a worker’s income when I purchase goods or services produced by that worker – though of course this is an indirect tax, since it increases the cost of those goods and services.
Try to think about things. And anyone responding to a post with AI garbage is by definition a moron. In the case of FICA, your Artificial Idiot is simply stating how FICA is taxed when you receive it, not the fact that poor people have to pay it on their income no matter how low (and no there are no offsets or credits or reductions for paying FICA/Medicare/Medicaid taxes).
On top of those, they get rental assistance, educational assistance, job training assistance, medical assistance, utilities assistance, transportation assistance, and food/supplies/clothing for free from various food banks
Some might but many do not. When I was in college I was utterly poor, yet I paid taxes (including FICA) and didn’t get one cent of your alleged “assistance”. You really understand very little about life, but go ask your Artificial Idiot.
I would have wanted every right-thinking congregant at Park East to emerge denouncing Zionism as a blight on the splendor of Judaism’s authentic traditions.
This type of egregious, if not willful, ignorance is enablement of evil and all too typical. No, not every religion deserves to be respected, especially not Judaism, which, fundamentally, is vastly worse in its extremism, chauvinism and violence than the most extremist Nazi. Like any religion, Judaism is an ideology, and if it’s OK to hate Nazis, it’s 100% OK to hate (self-identifying) Jews, as their ideology – and, historically, their deeds – are both far worse.
Just in regard to calling Zionism a “blight” on the “splendor”, just read the easily accessible texts of the Torah, such as 20 Deut. 16-18:
[I]n the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance [Ed: Eretz Israel, which includes E. Jerusalem and the West Bank], do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.
In other words, the horror the Jews are committing is more lenient than what their religion/ideology commands them to do. Where is the “splendor” in that, Mr. Lawrence? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm??????
Except for sales taxes, the poor don’t pay taxes.
That’s completely wrong. FICA/Medicare, property taxes (included in “rent”), FCC taxes, gasoline/energy taxes, tariffs …
And, yes, income tax. Why? Because the income tax paid by workers and corporations increases the price of all goods, including the goods purchased by the poor. When you buy goods and services you are paying not just the wages of those producing those things, but the income tax to which they are subjected, all of which contribute to the costs of the goods produced.
If you pay high income tax on your income, of course, you get an even worse deal – paying for taxes on post-tax income. Counting direct and indirect taxes, I calculated at one point that 80% of my income went to taxes – so about 10 months of the year I was a slave to our mendacious, malicious, repugnant State. Everyone is screwed by the tax man and the massive, almost unimaginable corruption he robs you to fund.
‘The Synagogue of Satan’, for example, is a phrase often attributed to Jesus, yet quoted from Revelations, a book attributed by some Christians to John the apostle, while others attribute it to a latter day figure with the same name. As such, there’s no evidence Jesus ever used the term, much as it may be an apropos description of contemporary Jewish power.
But Revelations claims to be quoting Jesus. Jesus did not author any of the books of the New Testament or any other book I am aware of, so if you want to discard a verse for merely being “attributed” to Jesus, you will have nothing left. Plus there is a similar passage in 8 John 42-47, though of course it is (also) penned by Apostle John.
As for the apparent savagery of The Torah, either it’s a product of editing or we’re dealing with a paucity of historical context, the details of which are not always readily apparent to the reader.
Well aren’t all books edited? As I wrote above, the written Torah is the product of the Levi tribe, and, clearly to me, that tribe had established its own sect, different from the other tribes, at the time it was recorded.
One can’t imagine God ordering the utter annihilation of a people unless those people actually pose some kind of existential threat. How this was so remains difficult to tell given the scarcity of detail, though rabbinical exegetes would have us believe such was the case.
The answer is simply that Yahweh is not the same being as the Lord. Yahweh is the god of the Levites, not the God of Jesus. The two beings are virtually polar opposites. Hence the “Synagogue of Satan” / “devil” exhortations from Jesus.
Sure, but there remains a qualitative difference between an account transmitted by one (supposedly) familiar with a disciple and an account of an alleged disciple's dream vision.
Jesus did not author any of the books of the New Testament or any other book I am aware of, so if you want to discard a verse for merely being “attributed” to Jesus, you will have nothing left.
Is the record of divine writ? I should think such editing would constitute an issue of grave implication.
Well aren’t all books edited?
Are you a Moslem?
I don’t consider myself as such, though I’ve been told many times I am Muslim ‘in essence’. Just assume I’m a card-carrying, 33rd degree freemason. That should clear things up. 🕶️
Are you lying or do you have a comic book understanding of Islam?
Every time you take me on where Islam is concerned, you end up too scared to continue, usually conceding defeat with a feeble ‘Disagree’.
All of the Levant was Christian before the Moslem invasion.
Before the Levant was Christian, it was occupied by both non-Christian, non-indigenous Rome and Persia. In fact, none of the land you mention was Christian until the house of Constantine adopted Christianity and set out to impose its preferred dogma upon its subjects at the edge of the sword.
Irrefutable historical fact: Christians who held dogmatic views that differed from those of officialdom were compelled to exile, persecuted, slain, or recanted their faith.
Now, before any conflict with them, Muhammad engaged in diplomacy with Rome and Persia — among other kingdoms. If you’ve read the contents of his letter written to Heraclius, you’d know that it does not threaten military action in the least. As I said upthread, the first bloodshed between Christians and Muslims was by the hand of a Christian leader allied with Byzantium. This was the initial act of war that ignited a zero-sum dynamic of conflict between Christendom and dar al-Islam that endured for centuries, with noteworthy exceptions in the interim. (Charlemagne, for example, would ally with the Abbasids against an Ummayad-Christian coalition. Yes, history is sometimes more complex than you might imagine.)
Problem is, you’re still clinging to some straw man argument I never advanced. Not once did I say that Islam doesn’t call for fighting. It most certainly does, when the occasion warrants it, just as Christianity has its ‘just war doctrine’.
As I also said earlier, one may reasonably question whether certain campaigns were consonant with Islamic teachings. I’m not interested in some polemic that exonerates Muslims at each and every turn, but it should be understood that in the Middle Ages, the general dynamic between polities of mutually contending worldviews (e.g. Christianity and Islam) was zero-sum conflict, a winner-takes-all perspective in which the subjugated had to acquiesce to the new political order to ensure their survival.
In dar al-Islam, non-Muslims paid a nominal tax to ensure protection of their life, property and religious exercise. In Christendom, they owed even more and enjoyed no religious liberty.
Use your favorite AI program and conduct a little research for yourself, comparing life in al-Andalus with that in contemporaneous France, for example.
If, that is, you’re not so attached to your prejudice.
Alternatively, you could just stamp my post with ‘Disagree’. Probably easier for you, anyways. 🕶️
All of the Levant was Christian before the Moslem invasion.
And all of Europe was pagan before the “Christian invasion” (well, it was the Roman invasion, they forced Christianity down everyone’s throats long after conquest but the principle is the same). And thereafter, all the European colonial powers spread Christianity wherever they went by the power of their swords, considering pagan non-believers to be “infidels” and “savages”.
Why do you hold such blatant, obvious double-standards?
[The Koran] calls for jihad and the murder of infidels. In several different places. Koran 5;33, 8;12, 8:67 are just 3 examples, there are many more.
Koran 5:33 deals with armed attacks against civilians. Read all of Qur’an 5 (Al-Ma’idah), or at least paragraph 32 as well, and it is obvious.
Qur’an 8:12 is just about disbelievers. Don’t Christians believe that disbelievers – not even in God generally, but in metaphysical believes, e.g.., that Christ himself is God and salvation is through Christ – will go to hell? Isn’t that severe punishment for not believing? It’s similar.
Qur’an 8:67 is about not taking captives during battle until victory. One can certainly debate the justice of this, but back in those days keeping prisoners during active conflict was a whole different proposition than it is today. And, moreover, par. 61 states: “If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them” – i.e. avoid war. In stark contrast to the Old Testament, where genocide is the agenda time and again.
You are spreading disinformation, I presume/hope innocently. There are many “Deep State” sites that spread such disinformation about Islam (as well as other ideologies, to be sure) – always double-check with the source, i.e., the Qur’an, and be sure to read the context, sometimes that requires reading … a while page!
A Christian can only kill in self defense.
Same for a Muslim. Of course as with Christianity, the lines are not so bright in war, but war itself can only be fought in self-defense.
A soldier who commits wanton murder would not be a Christian.
Not true, all purported Christians sin and by your definition nobody is a Christian. Christianity is about belief, not action (though of course at some point action disproves claims of belief). But one can say the same about Islam – that’s why I wrote Wahhabism is not really Islam, as it violates fundamental tenets, and also pointed out that Wahhabism was a minor, discredited sect, until the British conquered the Middle East and imposed the Wahhabist Saudi hereditary dictatorship onto the Muslim “holy lands” (par. Mecca and Medina).
It takes more than kneeling on a rug and facing East.
Funny that you would show disdain for actions which prove devotion to one’s religion. Esp. in context of claiming that not being faithful to it – i.e., not being devoted – means you are not really a believer.
Moslems consider the Old Testament a holy book.
You are correct, and as with Christianity, essentially all the “bad” in Islam stems from that. But they also accept the Gospel of Jesus (Injil) and the Psalms (Zabur), and of course the Qur’an. And they don’t constantly reference the Old Testament like “Christians” do.
Christians read the Old Testament in light of the revelation of the New.
Yes but why read it at all? It’s the polar opposite of the New Testament and Jesus referred to it as the “Synagogue of Satan”. (In this context, it is important to remember that: Judaism was an oral tradition; of the thirteen (or twelve, depending on perspective) tribes were split apart for centuries; the Levites were the only tribe to record their version of the Torah, i.e. their sect, in writing; and Jesus specifically referred to the Levites as the “Synagogue of Satan”, which obviously implies that while there was similarity in their sects, such as names and major events, the details were extraordinarily different.)
Obviously, you know nothing about Christianity.
Obviously, you are completely wrong, shamefully wrong. I know the Old Testament forms an integral part of Christianity, even if you deny it and claim to be the ultimate arbiter on who is or is not a “Christian” (one could say that is rather haughty). The inclusion of the Old Testament is a pox on the religion; it’s not even known why it is included, but no question Levite Jews were involved in that decision. See for example this “Christian” screed, referencing the grotesque genocide in the Old Testament.
Have a look at 20 Deuteronomy 10-18, in which your “God” commands Jews to enslave the entire world outside Eretz Israel (10-15), and to annihilate all non-Jews in Eretz Israel (16-18). Probably the most vile passages ever written. And part of Christianity.
You’re not half as smart as your momma told you that you were.
I doubt you know your momma, one look at you and she threw you in the garbage. Who saved you, an alley rat?
‘Christianity’ isn’t a race or ethnicity.
Wow, you impress me with your genius! All that learning from a rat mama!
On the other hand, your holy book, the Koran
Typical redneck thinks just b/c I don’t hate Muslims, same as yourself, it is my holy book. That’s what you get for being raised by a rat momma.
calls for, the murder of ‘infidels’.
You don’t know anything about Islam or the Qu’ran. Stick to breeding with your sisters, OK, redneck? But I’ll give you a hint: the “murder” of “infidels” was during a war with the Medians, who had savagely repressed Muslims. So they went to war, and this passage you quote, but know nothing about, came to be. But in the end, when the Muslims under Mohammed won, they didn’t kill anybody. Not even the individuals directly responsible for the repression.
On the other hand, Christians have the bloodiest history on the planet by orders of magnitude. The 16th-19th century colonial powers, UK, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy, …, murdered probably over a billion people who did not bow to the colonialists’ God.
I guess, according to you, none of them was a Christian, albeit they called themselves that. And guess what? Most Christians – the vast, vast majority – incorporate the Jewish Torah into their religion, calling it the “Old Testament”, a wretched, diabolically evil work which does commit genocide after genocide, stones people to death, cuts off their heads, etc. There really is no literary work more pernicious and evil than the Old Testament in all human history. YOUR Bible. And all the evil they committed is completely consistent with that demonic book. Go suck on it, redneck.
I’ve seen photos of some of these men married to multiple wives, you can look up youtube videos of this stuff.
Islam permits multiple wives (not multiple lovers) but that is not “promiscuity”. As it seems you don’t know, promiscuity” means casual sex. Marrying someone, and being obligated to support them for the rest of their life, is not “casual” by any stretch of the imagination. Casual is meeting someone in a bar and sleeping with them that night then never seeing them again, which is the utopian model for the “West” and its delicious Freedom Fries. Of course one can say any sex out of marriage in “casual” but I would not go that far.
As it were, polygamy was allowed in Islam b/c there were many more women than men for various reasons, including of course war, and no Big Benevolent State to care for them. The principle is if a woman otherwise has no support and a man has the means, he can support more than one woman. So you can critique it for being “sexist” but get rid of the state and technology and you will find that modern “Western” women, in general, are incapable of supporting themselves too, and, yeah, nature and reality are both “sexist”, and we don’t need Darwin to understand that.
I see where the author is coming from, and I get it. That said, I do not want Muslims in our country, period, bright or otherwise. Mamdani is not an American, does not belong here, and should be deported. As for the idiots supporting him, they should be sent to forced labor camps until they get their minds right.
They dream, but the Islamist have done. There is a huge difference. There are an infinite variety of stupid ideas out there but only the Islamist brand seems to get the double digit IQ crowd organized. We have also have examples of various flavors of Islamism in the world today. Look what they did to Iran.
Why not use Evangelical Rapturist Christians who dream of Armageddon (it’s a great thing, don’t cha know?) and radical ZioNazi Jews as the norm for those religions?
This is a key indicator of what ails you. You fear women. Some people worship women like goddesses, but not all. What is your relationship to women? There would be our clue.The key and important matter is that THERE IS CHOICE. CHOICE. CHOICE. CHOICE. What bothers little men like you is giving others the freedom to choose to think and behave as they see fit. What idiots like you fail to comprehend is that we are being horded from one extreme to another.
You mean they don’t worship women like goddesses like you do. Which is one of the main drivers of the degeneration of the “West”.
Is Islamic Republic of Iran under the boot of the "West" and "ZioNazis"? Afghanistan? Yemen? Barbarism? As someone who actually comes from that part of the world, you idiot have NO CLUE as to the barbarism of those societies. Btw the West did not turn "China into a shit". They were ruled by a foreign dynasty and suffering from a centuries long downward trend. The West "took advantage" of the shitty Chinese situation, that is all. There is also the Hindus. The best thing that ever happend to the Hindus was being conqured by a few men from Europe (which fact btw says so much about these dysfunctional societies and cultures). Imagine, bunch of Europeans get on sail boats and come all the way over to China and India and they take it over. Not by "barbarism". No, simply by exploiting their dysfunction, their degredation, their degeneration.
You don’t have to be a genius to know that most modern ‘islamic’ societies are under the boot of the “West” and ZioNazis, who have deliberately and conscientiously made them as shitty as they can. It says vastly more about the British and Americans, and Christians and Jews, par. their hate, pathos, envy and all-around barbarism, than about Muslims. The West also turned China into shit for a long time, proving its prowess in this regard, but alas that country was too populous to continue the humiliation indefinitely.
First of all, there haver never ever been a "country" called Palestine. You live in a fantasy world.As for escaping the hellhole of living under Islamists, the other day the "supreme leader" (and just sit for a moment and reflect on any country that actually has a government with a role like that) had to go on the TV and tell the Iranian youth to not immigrate because "they will never accept you as one of their own" lying as usual. The West is FULL of their children btw.People like you, if you are actually a Westerner, should move to one of these Islamist shitholes. We note that the poster child of Unz.com, China, does not remotely tolerate anysort of irratinoal ideology taking root in their society. You will never see "Islamist" in China for example. Russia too went full NAZI on Chechnya and completely lobotomized them. But now someone is pushing this on the West. China doesn't want it. Russian state fully controls it. But here in the West we are being urged to accept it because of a few misogynist losers like you on the internet who obviously have had "bad experiences" in your love life. Boo fucking foo.Replies: @CalDre
You are astoundingly full of nonsense. Plenty of Muslims can leave their home country, but don’t. Even the Palestinians,
They dream, but the Islamist have done.
Nobody matches the industrial scale of murder than Christians. WW II alone …. And what religion droppped nuclear bombs on civilians? Wahhabists?
This is a key indicator of what ails you. You fear women.
LOL, put down the crack pipe, girl.
What bothers little men like you is giving others the freedom to choose to think and behave as they see fit.
So you’re an anarchist? Why object to Muslims, is it b/c you are a little crybaby who can’t stand others doing aqs they see fit?
What idiots like you fail to comprehend
Wow, youa re a vicious ugly little b**ch. But you have the freedom to be one, right? Right as you and your ilk destroy the civilization your ancestors – who were much closer to Muslims than you will ever be – assiduously built.
Hence I stop reading your nauseating, ignorant verbal vomit.
What is the core of modern Wahabbist Islam
You are using the most extremist brand of Islam, if it even is Islam, as your norm or, perhaps more accurately, as the consensus? Why not use Evangelical Rapturist Christians who dream of Armageddon (it’s a great thing, don’t cha know?) and radical ZioNazi Jews as the norm for those religions?
They breed like rodents
It isn’t much higher than others, if you adjust for class effects. Let’s remember the population density and size of India and Southeast Asia as well.
they treat their women like slaves
You mean they don’t worship women like goddesses like you do. Which is one of the main drivers of the degeneration of the “West”.
most modern ‘islamic’ societies are total shit
You don’t have to be a genius to know that most modern ‘islamic’ societies are under the boot of the “West” and ZioNazis, who have deliberately and conscientiously made them as shitty as they can. It says vastly more about the British and Americans, and Christians and Jews, par. their hate, pathos, envy and all-around barbarism, than about Muslims. The West also turned China into shit for a long time, proving its prowess in this regard, but alas that country was too populous to continue the humiliation indefinitely.
their children like cattle
What? You mean they kill and eat them? What you droning on about, man?
They turn their own societies into screaming miserable overpopulated hellholes where people only dream of escaping.
You are astoundingly full of nonsense. Plenty of Muslims can leave their home country, but don’t. Even the Palestinians, who have to bear the brute forth of ZIoNazi barbarism and savagery, mostly don’t want to leave their homeland. But sure, Western aggression (or Christian aggression, for someone with your extremely limited if non-existent intellect) has driven many from their homes. The consequences of Western indoctrination of vulnerable youth with extremist radical “Wahhabist” ideology (which only has any prominence due to “Western” support and indoctrination – recall that Wahhabism stems from the House of Saud, the un-Islamic barbarians that the British installed as hereditary dictators of Mecca and Medina and have supported ever since) and its use of these “tools” to wage mass terror campaigns for benefit of the ZioNazi invaders is precisely the desire of many Muslims to escape their predicament.
They hate everyone
Sounds like reflection.
They ban music and alcohol and fraternizing with the opposite sex
Banning alcohol is a bad thing? They don’t ban fraternizing but they do ban promiscuity. And so they don’t have abortion, the industrial murder machinery so beloved by the “West” – why not, murder a baby and get some freedom fries!
They dream, but the Islamist have done. There is a huge difference. There are an infinite variety of stupid ideas out there but only the Islamist brand seems to get the double digit IQ crowd organized. We have also have examples of various flavors of Islamism in the world today. Look what they did to Iran.
Why not use Evangelical Rapturist Christians who dream of Armageddon (it’s a great thing, don’t cha know?) and radical ZioNazi Jews as the norm for those religions?
This is a key indicator of what ails you. You fear women. Some people worship women like goddesses, but not all. What is your relationship to women? There would be our clue.The key and important matter is that THERE IS CHOICE. CHOICE. CHOICE. CHOICE. What bothers little men like you is giving others the freedom to choose to think and behave as they see fit. What idiots like you fail to comprehend is that we are being horded from one extreme to another.
You mean they don’t worship women like goddesses like you do. Which is one of the main drivers of the degeneration of the “West”.
Is Islamic Republic of Iran under the boot of the "West" and "ZioNazis"? Afghanistan? Yemen? Barbarism? As someone who actually comes from that part of the world, you idiot have NO CLUE as to the barbarism of those societies. Btw the West did not turn "China into a shit". They were ruled by a foreign dynasty and suffering from a centuries long downward trend. The West "took advantage" of the shitty Chinese situation, that is all. There is also the Hindus. The best thing that ever happend to the Hindus was being conqured by a few men from Europe (which fact btw says so much about these dysfunctional societies and cultures). Imagine, bunch of Europeans get on sail boats and come all the way over to China and India and they take it over. Not by "barbarism". No, simply by exploiting their dysfunction, their degredation, their degeneration.

First of all, there haver never ever been a "country" called Palestine. You live in a fantasy world.As for escaping the hellhole of living under Islamists, the other day the "supreme leader" (and just sit for a moment and reflect on any country that actually has a government with a role like that) had to go on the TV and tell the Iranian youth to not immigrate because "they will never accept you as one of their own" lying as usual. The West is FULL of their children btw.People like you, if you are actually a Westerner, should move to one of these Islamist shitholes. We note that the poster child of Unz.com, China, does not remotely tolerate anysort of irratinoal ideology taking root in their society. You will never see "Islamist" in China for example. Russia too went full NAZI on Chechnya and completely lobotomized them. But now someone is pushing this on the West. China doesn't want it. Russian state fully controls it. But here in the West we are being urged to accept it because of a few misogynist losers like you on the internet who obviously have had "bad experiences" in your love life.

The relevant variables are 1) compressibility, 2) shape of the particles composing the substance, and 3) gravity, since it's the earth's gravity that cause sand ridges to collapse into mounds. Moon gravity being a fraction of earth gravity, there would be much less pull to collapse the sharp ridges.
Is the cocoa powder in a 212-degree Fahrenheit room with no humidity?
Humidity is 100% a relevant variable. The fact is that cocoa, even if it appears dry, has a certain amount of water content due to the fact they don’t use a vacuum chamber to produce it. According to my search engine’s AI, “Cocoa powder typically has a moisture content of around 7.5% after the drying process, which is important for secure storage. Proper moisture levels help maintain the quality and shelf life of cocoa products.” I don’t doubt that.
Anyway, if it’s so dusty, how come the landing with the rocket engine didn’t unleash a massive dust storm? There’s typically no “wind” on the moon but that landing (and the take-off) sure did create lots of wind. Even the astronautsactors didn’t kick up dust as they were prancing around, even later with a dune buggy (my truck creates large dust clouds on Earth in dry areas just going 5mph). Given the low gravity and lack of atmosphere (to slow the dust down), dust would have risen quite high and lingered around for an extended period of time too. I can’t recall a single picture with dust in it. Hmmmm.
They did kick up dust when they landed. It could be seen out of the window of the LEM. The descent engine typically wasn't on when they touched down. They usually shut it off 3 - 6 ft. above the surface, though it may have been on briefly after complete touchdown for some of the missions.

On Earth, yes. My point is that it's not a factor on the moon when judging if moon dust could hold the ridges seen in those footprints.

As I expected, you have again attempted to weasel out of your predicament.As I have said, I don't care what you mean by "Climate Scam". If Earth warms enough to melt the Greenland glaciers, that is a significant climatic event. And my climate model makes a prediction: that one consequence is that many of the world's greatest cities will be flooded. This prediction has an extremely high probability of being true. Thus I have contradicted your assertion that all climate models are wrong.
You have to show it’s a climate prediction and it isn’t, it’s an orthogonal event. The flooding would occur no matter the cause of the ice sheet melting, and, moreover, the prediction is of the nature “Assuming my Climate Scam arguments are correct, then flooding”, which means you are assuming the model is correct rather than proving it with an accurate (in hindsight) prediction.
Yet the Berkeley graph is consistent with CRUTEM5 / HadCRUT5: there is an acceleration of global warming since about 1960. The broad agreement between the temperature databases contradicts you once more: the databases are unlikely to be fake. The cold, hard data show that Earth is indeed warming up at an unprecedented rate; the evidence strongly contradicts what your wild conspiracy theories claim.
Speaking of Berkeley Earth, this graph (source page) is interesting. Look at the wild annual mean fluctuations in the 18th century. Peaks are higher than today.

My God, you are so incredibly stupid. That is the problem with “democracy”, even if it weren’t absolutely corrupt, absolute morons like you get to vote.

They use the same underlying manipulated data, you astoundingly stupid idiot.
I don't care what you define as the "Climate Scam". My prediction stands regardless: if the Greenland glaciers melt away, many of the world’s greatest cities will be flooded. This is a climate prediction. One that is almost certainly true. Which completely contradicts your assertion that all the climate models are wrong.But anyway this is not a prediction based on the Climate Scam. The Climate Scam predicts that this ice sheet will melt, I don’t know, by when? And what do we get “if” they’re wrong?

CRUTEM5 is not the only database of global temperatures, not by a long shot. Some others are GlobalTemp (NOAA), GISTEMP (NASA), and Berkeley Earth. They are consistent with each other, which means serious manipulation is unlikely.
Re: the CRUTEM5 data, it admits prominently on their website: “New quality control proceedures (sic) are applied to screen for outliers in station data.” I already told you they manipulate the data. Temperature too low, and supposedly too high, to support the scam? Just drop it. That’s what Climategate was about.
Speaking of Berkeley Earth, this graph (source page) is interesting. Look at the wild annual mean fluctuations in the 18th century. Peaks are higher than today. What brought it down, according to the charts, is a series of volcanoes. (Notice no large volcanic eruptions anywhere the size of Laki or Tambora in the last 175 years – since 1850, by coincidence no doubt – to cool things down.)
Of course what they don’t discuss is solar cycles. And how our sun just went through a super-cycle with exceptionally high solar energy output. And of course the sun is the greatest (by far) contributor to the fact that Earth is not near 0 degrees Kelvin. So would it be surprising that perhaps extraordinary sun solar output – sure, maybe the highest in 2,000 years or 200,000 years, who knows – would warm the Earth more quickly than previously? (And the very old ice core “data” don’t have yearly temperatures, even their scam measuring techniques don’t claim such resolution.)
I did not have to do that to contradict you.

It seems you don't understand that ALL predictions are based on one or more "if" assumptions. For example, when someone predicts that the sun will rise in the East tomorrow, he assumes that the Earth will not be destroyed tonight.
No, you didn’t, are you really that confused? You wrote “if” all the ice melts
You obviously did not understand what the HadCRUT5 data download page (link) says at the very top: that the data set is based on blending CRUTEM5 and other data. The page even links you conveniently to CRUTEM5. As an alleged Computer Engineer you should have been intelligent enough to follow that link.
I opened a sampling of the files and found exactly what the description says – they are maps of “anomalies” and even use “statistical sampling” to create data out of thin air and include in their model
My prediction stands: if the Greenland glaciers melt away, many of the world’s greatest cities will be flooded.
It’s an ice sheet, not glaciers (there are glaciers too but they pale in water volume to the ice sheet). But anyway this is not a prediction based on the Climate Scam. The Climate Scam predicts that this ice sheet will melt, I don’t know, by when? And what do we get “if” they’re wrong?
Re: the CRUTEM5 data, it admits prominently on their website: “New quality control proceedures (sic) are applied to screen for outliers in station data.” I already told you they manipulate the data. Temperature too low, and supposedly too high, to support the scam? Just drop it. That’s what Climategate was about.
They report temperature anomalies rather than absolute temperature, without providing the reference point for the period in question (based on 1981-2000 means, so the priests tell us). This makes it difficult if not impossible for anyone to check the data against their own reference data.
They at least admit that they don’t properly account for urbanization bias. Fortunately, the media priests don’t bother their flock with such trivialities. It’s certain!
When calculating the global mean, they make huge assumptions based on the fact that stations measure only a tiny portion of the planet, and occur in varying densities at different locations. Basically they say one station measures a huge area. Apparently the word “micro-climate” is unknown to them.
There’s also of course a sourcing issue. The data is obtained from “national meteorological and hydrological services”, tell me, how is one to know if they have altered the data prior to providing it? There are certainly folks ready to feed large juicy carrots to such manipulators. And manipulating a single station can have a large impact if it is the only one in a large radius. Which reminds me: supposedly the greatest warming is occurring in the Arctic. Where nobody can really check that.
I would be a lot less worried about these matters if, in fact, the government paid skeptics the same amount of research funds as the climate alarmists. That way we could be sure there is critical review and others are assembling the data in other ways. But that doesn’t happen – in fact, it’s the exact opposite of science, it’s like the Church: dissidents are excommunicated from the research fund pool, and if the only other source of funding (“Big Oil”) funds them, well, then obviously they are biased! lol. And that’s not a conspiracy theory, b/c a “conspiracy theory” is a term used by dopeheads to try to smear those who question government lies. Sort of like the “witch” charge in the days of the older religion.
Regarding ice cores, another utterly unreliable measure of temperature – it is based on ratios of 16O and 18O isotopes. Which are affected by a large number of things and everyone admits it’s not a constant even during periods of identical temperature. Yet variations in this ratio are used to “determine” temperatures 500,000 years ago. LOL.
And all of this is orthogonal to the question, if indeed the temperature is rising on average, what is causing it? We know the climate is constantly changing. Even if temperatures are changing more rapidly now than they did in the prior 175 years (since 1850), that’s a tiny blip in geological time. It’s like saying the Yellowstone supervolcano will never erupt b/c it hasn’t erupted since 1850, or if it does, it must be caused by me driving my car! lol.
Yes, these predictions are as obvious as mine on the global effect of melting Greenland glaciers.
Yeah, and if a nuclear bomb goes off over your head you are dead. Or if a meteor strikes you. Or if you are visiting Yellowstone when the super volcano there erupts. [blah blah blah]
You should have little trouble coping with computer files, Mister Computer Engineer.
Which file [from the HatCRUT5 database]? There are lots of files in the netCDF format. Show me for example which file shows the hourly temperature at two weather stations (whichever you like) in Colorado and Iceland from 1850-2025.
I have already said that I am not a zealot: I rely on evidence; a zealot relies on mostly evidence-free religious fantasies. The difference is stark enough to prove that I am not a zealot.
Yes, and you are truly an irate zealot. You don’t understand anything, you just repeat the garbage you are fed.
So I contradicted you by making a prediction that is almost certainly NOT wrong
No, you didn’t, are you really that confused? You wrote “if” all the ice melts – well that’s a simple volume calculation, there is so much water, and you need a delta x in Earth’s radius to absorb that, in light of the amount of the Earth’s surface area composed of water. That is not a climate scam prediction but a fluid dynamics calculation, i.e., engineering. Now if you want to predict something, predict how much of that ice will melt every year for the next 100 years, and if we live long enough we can confirm your predictions are ludicrous. But of course the climate scam advocates have long predicted ice melting, and all those predictions have been wrong. You can call them “extremist” but they were heralded as the “scientific consensus” at the time.
You should have little trouble coping with computer files
I don’t, I opened a sampling of the files and found exactly what the description says – they are maps of “anomalies” and even use “statistical sampling” to create data out of thin air and include in their model. How scientific! Use your model to create the data that your model then uses! Perfect snake eating its tail!
So again, you have failed at your point. My point is: the raw data isn’t available, or at least wasn’t last time I thoroughly checked. And that’s not how science works.
I rely on evidence.
Models are not evidence, they are predictions, and in the climate scam world, they are nefarious, manipulated, end-driven scams. Anyone can model anything.
Again, you avoided my question, can you “model” how a newborn infant will die and at what age. Your silence proves my point. But as a true zealot, you are unwilling to admit anything. And with that, I have to end this conversation – at least in this conversation, you are truly hopeless, you wouldn’t admit the sun is bright if I claimed it. Maybe over the years, though, a scintilla of critical thinking will enter your mind re: the climate scam, and then you can recognize it for the nefarious fraud it is.

Or if you starve b/c plants don’t produce enough nutritious food. Or, wait, I know there’s an obvious one – one of the 1,000s of bio-labs doing genetic engineering of bio-weapons has one of its cute little bugs released, which is nearly a certainty at some point in the near future since your scientists/priests are reckless, irresponsible morons. I suppose if the media spent 24 hours a day brainwashing you about the dangers of bio-engineering viruses and other pathogens – well, that wouldn’t be brainwashing since those clearly do kill in large numbers. Perhaps everyone. And that risk is actually quite easily mitigated – stop doing the damn bio-engineering.
But sure, if 3 million cubic meters of ice (which I haven’t confirmed is there, not sure how that amount was calculated), which is on average over 2 km deep, melts …. Yeah, I ignore insignificant risks, but also I live at over 1,000 m elevation so a 7 m rise doesn’t affect me much.
But of course the whole issue is whether me driving a car is going to cause all that ice to melt … which it certainly isn’t, any more than it will cause a super-volcano to erupt or a meteor to strike Earth.
Some of the wilder claims of the climate extremists are almost certainly wrong.

But let’s be clear: “Climate Change” is neither science – because is absolutely rejects the scientific method and is ideologically and financially massively manipulated
Not always a fraud. For example, I understand very little of the aging process, but I hereby declare my model for your life: that you will die someday. We don't have to understand everything about a subject in order to make reliable predictions.
“modeling” something that is very poorly understood is also utter fraud.
While reproducibility is preferred, it is not necessary if we have enough evidence. For example, nobody has ever reproduced a supernova, yet we know quite a lot about them because we have seen so many across the universe. Evidence is all-important.
Is the evidence reproducible?

It clearly rejects the scientific method. All these lies about “consensus” really mean – you’re a quack if you don’t believe our lies. That’s not how science works. That’s how the Church worked in the days of Galileo. And that’s how your contemporary priests work now.
that you will die someday
The inevitability of death is actually extremely well understood. Let’s move to something more interesting – why don’t you model what day I will die, and of what cause? And not just me, do it for infants – we want to get as close to 150 years out as possible.
Yet we can make reliable predictions.
LOL, my God, it’s already been pointed out to you that 100% of the predictions of these idiotic, manipulated, goal-seeking “models” are wrong – from no more snow in UK to melting ice caps and disappearing glaciers (I visited a few this summer in Colorado and Montana, glad to report they were still there!) to temperature increases to every single thing. But don’t let a 0% success rate spoil your blind faith in your (highly paid/bribed) priests ….
This is irrefutable evidence.
Where is this temperature data – the full set? You have a link? Oh, by the way, I’ve watched weather stations go offline when the temperature drops below what the models “expect”. But not when it rises above. One of many examples of goal-seeking. Another is: are the temperature sensors the same ones used 100 or 50 years ago? No, they are not. So you have different measuring tools. Are the weather stations in the same environment? No, they used to be in rural areas, now they are in large cities with asphalt and the like, which are known to be hotter than surrounding rural areas due to various heat effects of contemporary urban design (understood as urban microclimates). So you are not actually measuring the same thing at all. Does the data actually show increases? No, that’s what Climategate is about (a rare glimpse into the actual emails of the priests, due to a hack, which communications are otherwise well hidden behind a wall of secrecy). The data doesn’t show that. And the climate priests are perplexed. They’ll nee more funding ….
Will global warming cause deserts to expand and reduce our supply of food?
What we do know is that during times food production has greatly increased. As I’ve noted, this is largely due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, which makes it easier for plants to absorb the C which is the building-block of life. What happens if we reduce CO2 in the atmosphere? That’s actually a real danger. Even if deserts were to expand due to heating, at the same time tundra would thaw, creating new land for farming.
supernovas … we have seen so many across the universe
Sure, but that is actually reproducible to some extent – you can make a hypothesis and test it against the next supernova event, though of course the data available is extremely limited and one doesn’t know its reliability. But the same doesn’t hold true for climate change b/c the time periods involved are too long. And as I’ve mentioned multiple times, all the hypothesis formulated by the climate priests have turned out to be completely wrong, a far lower success rate than random guessing – precisely b/c they goal-seek (since that is how they are paid – if they change their mind and oppose the climate scam, their lavish funding suddenly disappears – science indeed – “they blinded me with science“).
P.S. Your latest response, when I responded thoroughly to your Arctic misrepresentations, was “noise ignored”. Yup, that’s “blinding science”. LOL.

Science is not a religion.
You are evidently not a very good "computer engineer", whatever you mean by that, if you don't understand that evidence is what makes the hard sciences reliable enough to make the Internet work.

They can’t even predict the weather today, but they know the global temperature within 2 degrees 150 years from now? You have to be an absolute fawning tool to believe that.
Having lost on why the Arctic had lush forests
I didn’t lose anything, delusional liar. Go back through the thread.
I will not respond to further religious arguments.
Oooh, the zealot is touchy about having his mind-numbingly idiotic religion challenged. How cute.
The global climate crisis has an absolutely gigantic amount of evidence behind it.
Is the evidence reproducible? No, b/c the data is kept secret. I’ve already exposed Climategate, the fact that this is about the coolest period in Earth’s history (according your your priests), the divergence issues, the polar “oil” conundrum, and other matters.
But of course like any devoted zealot, nothing will change your mind about your idiotic religion. I have far greater respect for Christians and idol worshipers, at least they admit it is their faith, you claim to have truth on your side, while in truth you have only lies, speculation, fraudulent and manipulated data, and secret “models” (which scientists are paid huge amounts of money, provided, and this is important, they spit out the “correct” result).
In short, nothing could be further removed from actual “hard science” than the global warming scam, which has the pernicious political objective of impoverishing the vast majority of humans while your priests – and more importantly, their sponsors – get filthy rich. And you, by pushing this nefarious lie, are just as profoundly evil and anti-human as its sponsors.

Science is not a religion. The evidence that backs up science is as solid as the fact that the Internet works well enough to let us have this conversation. In fact, an immense amount of science is behind the Internet.

You have great faith in your religion.
Science is not a religion.
Sure it is, at varying levels. There are some “hard” sciences, like parts of physics and chemistry, and then there’s a whole lot of propaganda and indoctrination masquerading as “science”. Historical stuff, social “sciences”, and various obviously politically-motivated scams like anthropomorphic climate change being prominent examples.
Even if we presume something that is most obviously not true, that the powers that be are honest and earnestly striving for truth, there are limits to epistemology. Again, esp. anything historical.
You’ve obviously been thoroughly indoctrinated and buy the junk science. Because you can’t think for yourself, but still think you are smarter than everyone else. Just like those who follow other religions.
Do you even know what idealism is and it’s implications? Can your “science” disprove idealism? lol.
In fact, an immense amount of science is behind the Internet.
I’m a computer engineer, genius.
I had the hard sciences in mind, of course. These are not religious -- each of them is backed by an enormous amount of evidence, and each has great reliability and predictive value.Sure it is, at varying levels. There are some “hard” sciences, like parts of physics and chemistry,

You are evidently not a very good "computer engineer", whatever you mean by that, if you don't understand that evidence is what makes the hard sciences reliable enough to make the Internet work. The more evidence there is, the greater the reliability. The global climate crisis has an absolutely gigantic amount of evidence behind it.Replies: @CalDreI’m a computer engineer, genius.

What I said was correct: today’s Arctic was at temperate latitudes in the Permian period and therefore had lush forests.
First of all, the Arctic isn’t a land mass, it’s a location (the north pole), and, as such, has never moved. Antarctica is a land mass. But in those maps western Eurasia – par. Siberia – is practically sitting over the Arctic. And in this map, you can see oil-rich Alaska is also close to the North Pole – right next to the “Big Arctic Lake”.
For example, one article (link) shows two independent ice cores.
You have great faith in your religion. The list of assumptions, as well as the list of everything that can go wrong in measurements, is each vast and profound. And in any event the scope limit is “100,000s of years”, not “100 millions of years”. Big diff, but that’s actually math. And math I can believe in. I’ve studied enough science to know that all the inconsistencies are just covered up or thrown away. Because, well, the “narrative”.
Now for some modern data
I’ve also studied the Climate Scam long enough to know that this data is utterly unreliable and fraudulent. Look up Climategate. And the Divergence Problem. BTW the Divergence Problem is one of those many inconsistencies I mentioned above which are just ignored. Same is true e.g. of Carbon and geological dating, sometimes leading to vastly different results for the same sample. Methods like Carbon-14 dating, inter alia, assume that all inhale and absorb the same amount of Carbon-14 per pound during their lifetime (and none at all thereafter), as well as uniformity of Carbon-14 distribution over geography and time (over time assumes a perpetual equal rate of atmospheric creation from solar energy and decay of the C-14 already formed), assumptions which by themselves are deeply flawed, but such nonsense passes for “science” in the halls of the Believers.
If this rate continues ….
And if each female mouse produces 60 offspring per year, then in 100 years we will have 6,533,186,235,000,709,230,034,068,928,691,287,343,700,324,585,314,296,867,722,640,545,345,121,774,145,098,416,101,607,381,667,300,811,080,828,609,214,055,796,893,078,458,763,823,293,748,842,154,779,319,623,108,143,171,180,246,289,350,656 mice. Wow!
We would have to be utterly stupid to believe the climate scam nonsense.
Fixed it for ya.

What we call the Arctic had lush forests because the region was at temperate latitudes. Tectonic plates move constantly; several hundred million years ago in the Permian period, when oil was being formed, all the land on Earth was in a supercontinent named Pangea. Have a look at an amazing map of this enormous single landmass (link), with modern political borders drawn on it: the area we now call Arctic was at a latitude near today's Mexico. Thus the forests and the oil.
Please spare us the Anthropomorphic Climate Crisis doom and gloom propaganda. Do you know why there is oil in the Arctic? Because it used to be lush, dense forest.
In spite of what the ignorant claim, it is a big deal. The current global temperature is not the problem; we do know that Earth has been warmer. The problem is how quickly Earth is heating. Previous warmings took thousands, maybe millions of years; now it's happening in half a century. How much further will the planet warm if we push our luck? Will Earth become a burning hellhole like Venus? No one knows.Replies: @CalDre
Have a look at this video from NOAA, the Climate Hoax Propagandist in Chief, which claims now is pretty much the coolest it’s been in 500 million years. So it will get warmer again. Big deal.
What we call the Arctic had lush forests because the region was at temperate latitudes.
No, it wasn’t. Maps of Pangea, if anything, show vastly more land mass was near and over the poles than is the case now. In your link, the view is from the top (north) – note the “Big Arctic Lake” right in the center. Not that I buy into any of this unproven (and unprovable) speculation about the distant past.
Previous warmings took thousands, maybe millions of years
We have no idea how long they took, do you think they know the average global temperature to the 0.1 degrees 500 million years ago and daily changes to it? LMAO! It’s all speculation. But I can hazard to guess that the large cataclysmic volcanoes and meteor impacts had far quicker temperature effects than driving cars, that’s just common sense.
Will Earth become a burning hellhole like Venus?
LOL, well if you believe what they fraudulently call “the science”, Earth was a flaming ball of fire a few billion years ago and in less time the sun will supernova and consume the Earth entirely. So be scared, very very scared!
Far more likely, given how violent and aggressive (not to mention insane) the “West” is, is a nuclear war, which will cool the Earth much faster than you can say “But but but ….”
There simply is no credible evidence that man is causing the warming. In fact there isn’t much evidence of warming. Polar ice caps … still there. UK … still snowing. Weather station temperatures – still fraudulently manipulated. “Science” – replaced by government mandates, censorship, group think and intolerance, not to mention fraudulent data and “secret models” (hint: climate models are not science, they are secret and fantastical).
Every. Single. Prediction. Made. By. The. Climate. Alarmists/Scammers. Has. Been. Proven. Wrong. But keep believing, you have to believe in something, right? Why not a made-up idiotic narrative that justifies hating mankind more than you already do? Yay!
You are mistaken. Another map from the Enclopedia Brittanica (link) uses ocean currents to show the equator. Yet this map is much the same: Eurasia is on top, North America is in the middle, and Antartica is at the bottom. What I said was correct: today's Arctic was at temperate latitudes in the Permian period and therefore had lush forests.No, it wasn’t. Maps of Pangea, if anything, show vastly more land mass was near and over the poles than is the case now.

What we call the Arctic had lush forests because the region was at temperate latitudes.
We do indeed know what global temperatures were like in the past. For example, one article (link) shows two independent ice cores. (See Figure 3 for data from EPICA Dome going back 800,000 years, and Figure 5 for data from Vostok. The two figures have different time scales, so be careful when comparing them.)The two cores largely agree with each other, so the possibility of error is much reduced.The warming that began about 350,000 years ago took 20,000 years; and the warming that began about 150,000 years ago also took roughly 20,000 years. Now for some modern data (link). From 1960 to 2025, global temperatures have risen at least 1.5 C. If this rate continues (1.5 degress C in a mere 65 years), in 20,000 years the Earth's average temperature will be a balmy 462 degrees C, more than hot enough to melt lead.Of course, "drill, baby, drill" will kill us long before we reach "burn, baby, burn". But the Earth could still become another Venus after humans die and could no longer affect the planet's temperature directly. At some point, an automatic feedback loop could start: a warmer Earth causes more methane to be released from permafrost and clathrates; this causes Earth to warm up more; this in turn causes even more methane to be released; and so on, unstoppably, for a long time. Will Earth become another hellhole like Venus? Nobody knows. But we are in peril: there have been reports of giant methane burps in Siberian taiga.We would have to be utterly stupid to push our luck.Replies: @roonaldo, @Vidi
We have no idea how long [the previous warmings] took
This is just the final stage of the Israeli project of expanding and clearing out the native population which has been ongoing since the inception of the state.
Sadly, the ZioNazi project is far more ambitious than you give it credit. Eretz Israel (Greater Israel) runs from “the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates” (see e.g. here, here and here, and Isaiah 27:12 and Genesis 15:18-21 – using very different political sites to point out this is a fact, not opinion) – while nobody is sure of the precise boundaries laid out in the “Abrahamic covenant”, it includes not only all of Palestine but huge swaths of Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and almost all of Lebanon. Here is a more contemporary polemic re: Eretz Israel and its far greater boundaries than you imagine (per that piece, you are imagining only what the author believes is the eternal grant made to Jews by their diabolical god, while the other areas are granted but not eternally, so Israel must take them gradually, though tbh I think this distinction is a dog whistle to somewhat hide the ZioNazi ambitions from cattle eyes).
The ZioNazis are just getting started. They need lots of Lebensraum and to dispose of (read: utterly annihilate) a lot of Untermenschen. See Deuteronomy 20:16-18. They truly believe their god (demon to everyone else) wants them to rule the entire world.

Even if humans were causing warming, which they most certainly are not, so what? People just move north a few miles on average. The Sky Ain’t fallin’, Chicken Little.
On the other hand, extra CO2 is the reason we have so much food. The main building component of plants is … carbon, which plants get almost exclusively from … CO2 in the air. The fact that CO2 levels are higher means plants grow denser and produce more food. If CO2 went down, perhaps billions would starve. The Climate Hoaxers never discuss this issue, because, frankly, my darling, they don’t give a damn. All they care about is impoverishing everyone else and enriching themselves. That’s the scam. Stop enabling the scam with your Chicken Little screeching, bro. Grow up.

Let the Gaza bombing resume.
Let the ZioNazi culling commence, so that every barbaric ZioNazi, like the despicable monster “meamjojo”, dies an agonizing death and spends eternity burning in hell.
So you are using an extremely grainy video, released by the FBI, which in 2 extremely grainy and pixelated frames shows two aberrant pixels that some “internet sleuth” declares is a gun because it appears something extends outward, even though it doesn’t look anything like a gun (more like the towel this sleuth also talks about) in the 100s of frames other than those obviously distorted and bizarre two frames? Did you know that if you swing a towel, jacket or whatever it will become extended?
And this proves to you he’s carrying precisely a “gun”, “conclusively”? And you came to this conclusion completely independently of anyone saying it’s a gun b/c it so “obviously” looks like a gun? lmao
This comes from the “I’ll believe anything the government says” department of ___________.
Putin is either on board with the plans of the Jews or he is deathly afraid of them.
He’s done more against Jews than any other President. He largely eliminated the Jewish oligarchy that formed in Russia after USSR collapsed and now Russia is led by Russians. He is taking over the old Khazar lands in Ukraine which Jews wanted for themselves, and would have eventually gotten. He propped up the Syrian government for well over a decade. He supports Iran. Etc. etc.
You will say, well it’s not enough. OK, maybe you would do more, but there are consequences to such behavior, and he’s trying to do what he can without instigating catastrophic results for Russia and Russians. It’s like the Serenity Prayer: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”
“evidence free”?
They monitor every phone conversation etc. etc. In what world can anyone do anything without it being noted?
Well we can save a lot of money if we just do away with all trials. Tyler Robinson? Straight to the electric chair.
Donald Trump? Straight to prison. No need for long trials and appeals and all that. The government knows. They spy on us. But wait! Prison is far too gentle and expensive! Georgia and New York should have just drone bombed his car with his entourage, yeah, that’s the ticket!
And the sooner they realize that, the sooner they will modify their behavior.
That’s right, the war on drugs has been a tremendous success! The streets are clean! But wait ….
And lets not stop at fentanyl. Alcohol kills more people than fentanyl every year. Time to start drone bombing alcohol manufacturing plants, delivery trucks and retail outlets! C’mon man, get with it! People are dying!!!!
ThreeCranes only cares that the beer is cold and the executioner's hand warm. Due process and the entire Bill of Rights represent an inconvenient bump in their rocky road to dystopia.

Putin openly supports Chabad the Jewish supremacist organization
He considers it his duty to interact with representatives of all Russian demographics. He also meets with Muslim and Christian leaders.
Putin abandoned the Palestinians the Syrians the Libyans and every other Arab resistance group he pretended to support.
Medvedev was President for Libya, and Putin criticized his decision to approve the UN resolution which led to the NATO air campaign. Syria was lost despite Russia’s persistent efforts – either the generals were bought off or morale was too low but it was pointless for Russia (or Iran) to do anything when the Syrian Arab Army itself wasn’t. As to Palestinians, there are about 1-2 million Russian Jews living in Israel, so that’s a complicated relationship, but you might remember that Stalin recognized Israel and voted for its creation after WW II, Palestinians were abandoned long before Putin was born.
As to Iran, he’s on record saying he offered Iran a similar defense pact as he signed with N. Korea, but Iran rejected it (and Iran has not contested this claim).
Russia is focused on Russia, as it should be. It’s not in a position ATM to challenge US global hegemony.
But yeah, obviously Grayzone is not a Russian op.
“What are the legal implications of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry finding that Israel is committing genocide of the Palestinian people in occupied territories?”
[LOL] Why imagine things that will never happen?
No one can prove intent to commit genocide, so Israel cannot be convicted. Not that it matters because the ICC/ICJ has no enforcement powers anyway.
And you do know that Gaza has a higher population number now than they did before Oct 7, 2023? How could you have a genocide WITHOUT population loss?
Best you return to picking toe jam from your feet.
Well he has no explanation for the fact you can see CK’s nipples, as he admits. So he has to come up with the “explanation” that CK left the stage and put on the body armor after that video/photo was taken, since even he has to admit that the body armor would be visible if a nipple is.
But here’s the rub: if a rifle bullet hits hard body armor (and a 30-06 would penetrate soft body armor, which is meant for small-caliber pistols), doesn’t it make a sound? CK’s microphone was literally right next to his chest. I hear nothing. And if the bullet ricocheted upward, why is the hole in his neck perfectly round, like an exit wound? Upward means it would be moving largely parallel to his body – so should have really hit his chin, but even if it hit his neck, there would be an elongated entry wound.
Plus nobody around him or in law enforcement has claimed that.
So basically this hypothesis is nonsense.
It’s all to avoid the obvious conclusion that he was shot in the back of his head somewhere (probably below his right ear) and the gaping hole in his neck is what it obviously appears to be – an exit wound. But everyone is so loyal to the government narrative – oh no! Conspiracy theory! Tin foil hat! lol
This could only be written by someone who’s watched too many Hollywood movies, where the “hero” kills 2,000 people without even looking using a machine gun at 500 yards and scoring a deadly hit with each bullet. Right.
People spewing all kinds of garbage, just like about 9/11. Create enough chaos/confusion, and people will be overwhelmed and just give up trying to find the truth.
Agreed! Just saying his analogy doesn’t hold up. Lots of people don’t understand the government has no duty to protect you at all, well, just look at Democrat-run inner cities. So I thought it was a point worth making. But agreed, the government should have legislation to protect free speech just like it does to protect “civil rights”. Instead, ZioNazis like the Orange Traitor pass laws to punish those who don’t cow to ZioNazi Israel.
Trump is of course an absolute tyrant. He should be impeached and imprisoned for the rest of his life. But not in this ZioNazi land of the serfs.
People like you deserve to be placed in Gaza to starve along with the true victims of ZioNazi lies, slander and deceit. So you can experience for yourself the consequences of using lies and slander to foment hate and mass murder.
Oops, forgot my main point :/, there was a time in the US when even the average man could hold the “elite” to account by bringing a claim for libel when they spread slander and lies and fomented hate against you. N.Y. Times vs. Sullivan put an end to that and gave the elite close to absolutist “free speech” (as, given all the assets they own, it’s a trivial matter to avoid the “reckless disregard” standard – one common method they use is having one or two of their agents in, say, the CIA or a local police precinct “leak” a lie to their media agents and then have their media print it, and shazam! the lie has been laundered into what Americans call “news”).
For example, mentioning nukes in response to the 2nd Amendment comment is non sequitur and gives an incorrect impression of your argument.
The argument is about extremist/absolutist interpretations, it was the gnat that brought up the Second Amendment having an unlimited right to “guns” and I simply pointed out the Second Amendment uses arms, not guns, and if you take an absolutist approach to the Second Amendment then everyone has the right to own nuclear arms. Since my primary argument was against absolutism, my tangential argument was sound.
the elite possess nukes and would even if there was no 2nd Amendment
They have a monopoly on them. I think though the same is true of the 1st Amendment – the elites would have “free speech” (though not absolute either, see below) even if there were no 1st Amendment.
if “free speech” morally protects the elites lying about their enemies
It’s not “free speech” that protects them, it’s the warped interpretation that malicious lies and slander are free speech. Before N.Y. Times vs. Sullivan I’m not aware of any nation which had made such an insane rule into law, and in that case, as in all Warren court cases, it was tyrannical diktat by robed traitors serving the Global Mafia, the enemy of those whom they are obligated to serve.
You have to make a particular effort to avoid these sorts of traps
I can’t avoid people misunderstanding. I still can’t fathom how you came up with your interpretation, it’s based on your particular history and interests. I think if you read the thread again (though I’m sure you have better things to do with your time) you might see how your interpretation isn’t reasonable. Nothing I wrote is arguing the 2nd Amendment shouldn’t exist at all, it’s quite obvious to me the framers/adopters did not intend everyone have the right to own nukes. The point I’m making is every rule has its limits, absolutism is inherently irrational.
The media acting on behalf of the elites will always have “free speech” because it is the government that would restrict speech.
Mainly, yes, but not just. “Cancel culture” is also effective. For example, in the US the government cannot destroy you for being “anti-Semitic” (i.e. not serving ZioNazi interests), but the Global Mafia not just can, but habitually does. And the “elites” also have limits on their speech. Lots of Stalin’s top lieutenants met their end for attempts at it; Stalin himself, had he said certain things, would have been killed as well. Monarchs similarly had limits, they just knew not to cross them. That said, they certainly had more free speech than others. Point is, “free speech” is not truly absolute for anyone.
Speech is not at all comparable to murder. Words aren't violence you crazy shitlib-lite.
So of course everyone should have the absolute freedom to shoot a bullet into your head, right?
Then there's a serious problem with your populace and it's still not the fault of the evil speech criminal. He's not their keeper. Consider forcibly sterilizing the tards if they're that out of control. We did it once upon a time.
Who have no way of independently determining the truth, so they should just believe nothing. It’s nice in extremist theory but absolutely horrific in practice. It is a fact the mob is easily manipulated and your absolutism just happens to ignore facts.
That's where you need the government to create a group of special investigators, who understand the country is made up of evil white trash and proceed on the assumption that it's just another hoax which these always are. After exposing it their next task is to sit down with all involved and (very slowly) explain the truth to these fucking retards, then offer them an appointment to the sterilization clinic with a cool $1000 cash payout if they go. Double if they bring the kids. Meanwhile they set you up with a great new job.
Now what if five of your colleagues accused you of child rape, having witnessed it? Just free speech, right? When you lose your job, family, friends and end up in jail, just blame “[your] fellows, [your] family, the public and so forth”, not the five who lied and destroyed you.
You're still blaming them for what the retards do using the same reasoning to blame gun makers for niggers and malcontents shooting people. Go on. Replace "zionazis" and "slanderers" with "smith & wesson" and "manufacturers" and see what I mean.
And here’s the upshot, extremist: ZioNazis and other professional slanderers do this hundreds of times a day, but they destroy societies too, not just individuals.
But you do. "Bad man's slander fired me" and "mean words literally raped me" are identical in essence, and the first concept created the slippery slope to the second. Indeed, libel and slander laws were actually part of the legal arguments for criminalizing "hate" speech.
Hate speech is just another tool of the ZioNazis, so you’re particularly dimwitted for thinking I support those.
Speech is not at all comparable to murder.
Of course it is. “Free speech” in your absolutist sense has caused billions of deaths by murder. Your beloved ZioNazis are responsible for most of those. It’s libel, slander and lies they use to foment war, terrorism, insurrection and chaos. And I have no doubt a gnat-brain like you is far more influenced by such lies than the people you so roundly condemn but who in fact are infinitely better than you on every positive attribute imaginable.
And you obviously missed the core of the analogy, par for the course for a gnat-brained extremist. The point was your argument is sheer lunacy, of course the speaker is responsible, vastly more so than the victims of the speech who genuinely believe the lie. The fact that other things have to happen – like bleeding out – for the death to occur doesn’t mean the trigger man isn’t responsible.
Consider forcibly sterilizing the tards
World would be far, far, far better off with the likes of you receiving that treatment.
Point is there are ways around this without infringing on anyone’s free speech that could be worked out if only the people in charge cared.
No, there aren’t – except one – the sterilization option for gnat-brained ZioNazis.
We don’t tolerate attacks on guns and the 2nd amendment
Second Amendment says arms., not guns. So everyone should have nukes, right? Absolutism! Yay! For a gnat-brain.
“Bad man’s slander fired me” and “mean words literally raped me” are identical in essence
You are identical to a gnat in intelligence, in essence.
“Saying ‘it’s only the government that is allowed to strip you of your freedom of speech’ would be like saying ‘it’s only the government that’s not allowed to murder you.’”
Well said!
Yes, it’s a nice analogy, but misses an essential point: the government has no duty to protect you from murder or any other crime. The law on this is clear. The police can watch rampant crime, as for example they did during the BLM riots, and do nothing about it. And this principle doesn’t just apply during riots, it applies always. A particularly egregious example of this is abortion, where the government not only doesn’t protect the victim, it can (and does) prosecute citizens who attempt to save the babies’ lives in the most peaceful and innocuous manner, such as praying outside an abortion (murder) clinic.
But at the same time they can prosecute you for exercising your right to self-defense (even prosecute you for it – see Kyle Rittenhouse as one example) and even confiscate your arms (in most countries anyway, more and more so in the US too).
But sure, the idea is grand.
Precisely my point.
Libel laws were well established and understood when the First Amendment was adopted and nobody opposed libel laws then.
It's not really that simple when you think about it. Whatever damage a person receives is not actually from the other person doing the
ZioNazis ... can slander and destroy anybody they want
Precisely my point.
No, it wasn’t, again proving you understand nothing. You wrote it was “anti-1st amendment”, not “anti-absolute-free-speech”.
Whatever damage a person receives is not actually from the other person doing the slander
Yeah, and the damage to you from a bullet entering your head is not actually from the person who pulled the trigger, but from the bullet puncturing your head and destroying the vacuum that exists there. So of course everyone should have the absolute freedom to shoot a bullet into your head, right?
It comes from his fellows, his family, the public and so forth
Who have no way of independently determining the truth, so they should just believe nothing. It’s nice in extremist theory but absolutely horrific in practice. It is a fact the mob is easily manipulated and your absolutism just happens to ignore facts.

You people always believed in “hate speech” and scapegoating
Again with your gnat level of reading comprehension. I believe people don’t have a license to lie and slander to destroy others. Hate speech is just another tool of the ZioNazis, so you’re particularly dimwitted for thinking I support those.
Speech is not at all comparable to murder. Words aren't violence you crazy shitlib-lite.
So of course everyone should have the absolute freedom to shoot a bullet into your head, right?
Then there's a serious problem with your populace and it's still not the fault of the evil speech criminal. He's not their keeper. Consider forcibly sterilizing the tards if they're that out of control. We did it once upon a time.
Who have no way of independently determining the truth, so they should just believe nothing. It’s nice in extremist theory but absolutely horrific in practice. It is a fact the mob is easily manipulated and your absolutism just happens to ignore facts.
That's where you need the government to create a group of special investigators, who understand the country is made up of evil white trash and proceed on the assumption that it's just another hoax which these always are. After exposing it their next task is to sit down with all involved and (very slowly) explain the truth to these fucking retards, then offer them an appointment to the sterilization clinic with a cool $1000 cash payout if they go. Double if they bring the kids. Meanwhile they set you up with a great new job.
Now what if five of your colleagues accused you of child rape, having witnessed it? Just free speech, right? When you lose your job, family, friends and end up in jail, just blame “[your] fellows, [your] family, the public and so forth”, not the five who lied and destroyed you.
You're still blaming them for what the retards do using the same reasoning to blame gun makers for niggers and malcontents shooting people. Go on. Replace "zionazis" and "slanderers" with "smith & wesson" and "manufacturers" and see what I mean.
And here’s the upshot, extremist: ZioNazis and other professional slanderers do this hundreds of times a day, but they destroy societies too, not just individuals.
But you do. "Bad man's slander fired me" and "mean words literally raped me" are identical in essence, and the first concept created the slippery slope to the second. Indeed, libel and slander laws were actually part of the legal arguments for criminalizing "hate" speech.
Hate speech is just another tool of the ZioNazis, so you’re particularly dimwitted for thinking I support those.
Your view is no different than a common shitlib in stipulating free speech to mean only words and ideas that don’t offend you. …. And god knows we can’t have that.
You have the reading comprehension of a … gnat. And in general your comments are absolute garbage, you and notsofast being habitual garbage posters, and this post is obviously no exception.
Screw the family.
Screw don’t care about the family.
anti-1st amendment loophole anymore of suing others
As usual, you know nothing about anything but spout off garbage point after garbage point. Libel laws were well established and understood when the First Amendment was adopted and nobody opposed libel laws then. You sound like a ZioNazi who loves the fact the ZioNazis own the media and can slander and destroy anybody they want for no reason at all, well, so they can gain more power and augment their absolute evil. That’s not “justice”, or “freedom”, that’s criminality. But it’s all good to you since your masters/heroes do it.
Precisely my point.

It's not really that simple when you think about it. Whatever damage a person receives is not actually from the other person doing the

If that name, DOBUPHBSASBFJ, is too cumbersome, they could also just call it “Department of Jewish Services.”
The name should be distinctive. Virtually the entire government could be called that. And it’s more consistent with historical usage to call the US the Jews’ colony run by a Vichy government. Similar to what Stalin said: “I don’t care who gets a vote, I care who they get to vote for.” When the Global Mafia selects all the candidates, well, how can they lose?

Americans never gave a shit about free speech.
Every insurgency favors free speech, as naturally the insurgents benefit from it, especially when well funded and able to monopolize the media (i.e. the rule takes them from being banned to having a near monopoly on speech). Insurgents want the freedom to undermine, libel, and slander those persons opposed to them and those ideas opposed to their agenda (see N.Y. Times vs. Sullivan, legalizing slander and libel by diktat). Once they achiever power, obviously, they don’t want imitators using those methods against them.
All this is true of the Global Mafia’s ongoing (for over a century now) communist insurgency (“Westplan”) in the “West” (in this instance, focusing first on destroying the three social/economic institutions of family, nation and religion, discussed in Part 2 of the Communist Manifesto, rather than its social/economic institution of private property, discussed in its Part 1 thereof, though of course the latter is also on the cutting board). They have navigated both sides of the free speech hill rather successfully so far, though currently they may be overreaching in the sheer transparency of their hypocrisy ….
But it’s wrong to say Americans don’t give a shit – they care more than most others. Granted, in large part it’s because they’ve been conditioned to that by the Global Mafia while it served the mafia’s agenda – but full Communist Manifesto/Bolshevik communism, which will make free speech an ancient relic, is still a ways off. But they are already so powerful that they are starting to condition the cattle – erhh, beloved citizens – to believe that some speech is in fact harmful – namely, speech which opposes their neo-Bolshevik agenda. Of course they don’t frame it like that, that wouldn’t be very clever; I’m just stating the actual rule for what constitutes “hate speech” (e.g., denouncing Christianity sure doesn’t). The harm that is allegedly caused by the disapproved speech is simply something their “think tanks” are paid to fabricate. And those think tanks get a lot of money to keep their industrial-scale fabrication plants running, ever the better now with AI to help them.

If you have a law against wearing crocs, but you only ever arrest people who wear crocs and beanies, then enhance the crime of wearing crocs with a “wearing a beanie” enhancement, then you’ve outlawed wearing a beanie, not wearing crocs.
You see, it uses the tried and tested plea bargain model. Change your scenario a tweak – say you get a large sentence for wearing a beanie and crocs but then if you weren’t wearing a beanie there is a policy not to prosecute you at all. What about that?
Now let’s compare to jury trials. You can’t punish a man for demanding a jury trial – as it’s his constitutional “right”, after all – but, wait, … there’s a loophole! You make the statutory punishment for every crime absolutely horrific and rack the entire system against him (mostly by making it unaffordable for the vast majority of cattle – errrrh, citizens – to exercise any phantomized rights), and then give the defendant a “lesser sentence” if he gives up his rights and pleads guilty! Tadah! The magic of tyranny! You see, he’s not being threatened with massive punishment for demanding a jury trial and counsel and due process and all that! Nope!
Nobody said the Global Mafia isn’t good at its game!
But then conservatives always supported plea bargaining. Why? Because they hated the defendants. Principles don’t matter, really. Just like with free speech, see above.
P.S. They’ may even offer you a plea bargain to drop that hate crime enhancement. A double whammy!
Actually, I don't think you are correct about the Christian religion, at least regarding its more traditional denominations. There is obviously a contradiction between the teachings of Christ and some aspects of the Old Testament, and Christians' normal reaction to those passages is one of embarrassment or evasiveness. One evidence of that is the decision by Vatican II to remove those verses of Psalm 137 you quoted from liturgical books:
(...) as it’s the operative command from the Jewish/Christian/Islamic God himself.
and
After the Second Vatican Council, the last three verses of the psalm were deleted from liturgical books because their contents were seen as incompatible with the 'Gospel message'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_137#Western_ChristianityReplies: @CalDre
As with the reforms in the Catholic Church, the 1962 Book of Common Prayer used by the Anglican Church of Canada has also removed the last three verses.
Actually, I don’t think you are correct about the Christian religion, at least regarding its more traditional denominations.
Christianity from its start was corrupted by chauvinist Jews. The Old Testament is not part of Christianity. Quick history:
“Today, will Russia and China seize the moment to join forces with Iran (supposedly an ally) to strike a blow against the West?”
Most likely they won’t. They are the proverbial ostrich, with their head in the sand. The very same mistake Hua Bin (correctly) accuses Iran of making – letting its alliances, which it spent decades building, be first decimated by the ZioNazis – each of Russia and China habitually makes, and look to be making now. They don’t defend their “allies” b/c they have none – while Trump is accused of being a “deal” guy, in fact Russia and China relations are completely transactional (which is laudable in many cases, but not with your head in the sand).
It’s much like the game of “musical chairs”. Pretty soon you find you are all alone, b/c you have not helped anyone else as the enemy smashed all your “allies”, one after the other, easily enough b/c nobody joined together to fight the common tyrant. Russia in just the last few decades has had Georgia (which is now back, somewhat), Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Syria, etc., etc. torn from it, with nary a whimper (and then only when the enemy was poised to place its troops and missiles on Russia’s border)
In Iran’s case, the writing was on the wall long ago. After orchestrating 9/11 and using their hasbara loyalists, who have infiltrated and dominate virtually all Western institutions, to blame the ZioNazis victims (Arab Muslims) for their heinous crime, the ZioNazis invaded the Pentagon and gave their puppet Bush Jr. marching orders to destroy “seven countries in five years”. Iran was the last of the seven (though the other six did not go in the planned order, Iran had to be last). The other six have been done with, the last to fall being Syria.
So for Iran this truly is an existential war, against the Axis of Absolute Evil ZioNazis, led by the Global Jewish ZioNazi Mafia with the US cattle as their unashamed muscle, much like Master-Blaster from Mad Max (except Blaster did get some benefit from the arrangement, while the US is a puerile slave, aside from the “leaders” who get rewarded handsomely for their treachery and treason).
On the other hand one could see this moment coming from way back in …. 2007, at least. So Hua is right, Iran should have been better prepared and should have fought far, far harder when the Axis of Resistance was being decimated (granted they did not want a fight with the Great Satan, which is actually the Great Satan’s unpaid servant), but they were going to get that fight no matter what – Wesley Clark told us all that in 2007, if it wasn’t obvious already and otherwise since.
Question is, will China and Russia make the same utterly foolish and self-destructive misstep? Better to fight the common enemy at the neighbor’s door, then wait for him to come to yours. Even if Iran isn’t a perfect imperial subject, and never will be. Defeat the ZioNazi Empire in Iran, or wait for it to attack you, China. And Russia: you are already experiencing the whip, you would have to be a complete fool not to do your utmost to pay back your tormentors.
Look, racially-based prison-gang violence is a *huge* problem in California and most other big states. Properly classifying prisons by their race/ethnicity is a life-and-death issue, and carelessly putting Hispanics in with whites can lead to killings, massive MSM coverage, and prison officials getting fired.
So will ask again: do you have any real evidence that your assumption that prison population statistics are accurate is true? Have you gone to randomly selected prisons and compared actual Hispanic inmate numbers versus reported Hispanic inmate numbers?
Properly classifying prisons by their race/ethnicity is a life-and-death issue
Maybe so, but not having been in a maximum security prison in California, I have no way to know whether what prison officials put on paper has any bearing on what they do in practice. Indeed, numerous courts have ruled California’s racial/ethnic segregation to be unlawful, so there actually is an incentive to misreport prison population data to make things seem more integrated than they are. I don’t know the answer one way or another, yet you seem entirely certain; my question was whether this certainty of yours has been subjected to scientific inquiry or not. Your response seems to be, “question my methodology and get thrown off my website?” Strange, Ron, that response seems beneath you (or any social scientist).
The reason I am not convinced by your results is again based on the rather quixotic result that Hispanics, south of the border, are the most violent people on the planet, and somehow, when unlawfully crossing the border, they are the most docile. Perhaps you can give that some thought and either (a) find a scientific explanation for that, or (b) accept the fact that this creates an inconsistency that people will find troubling.
if you’re just too illiterate or lazy to bother reading it, maybe I should just trash all your future comments
Fair enough, I will find other places to spend my time. In general, though, it’s not considered necessary to read someone’s “book” to engage in an informal discussion with them. This isn’t a Hispanic Crime Conference filled with those who spend their life studying these things. If I were debating you on such a panel your critique would be justified; in this forum, it’s just hostile.
I have one of a bunch of Muslims holding such signs as “Shariah for the Netherlands” and “Islam will dominate the world.”
There are radicals of every stripe. The fact that a few radicals hold up a poster, that bigoted people paste anywhere they can, does not make for a movement. Heck, the Muslim Brotherhood can’t even gain power in Egypt, let alone UAE or Kuwait. Let that sink in.
You face a far greater risk from ethnic/tribal/racial extremists than Muslim ones.
The single greatest risk comes from the psychopaths in power, who are leading us straight to WW III with their greed, violence, intolerance and hate.
No, very high black crime rates are only slightly distorting the picture.
Where you seemingly erred is majority that white cities, like Indianapolis and Columbus, that you used to favorably compare to majority Hispanic cities also have serious problems with black violent crime which artificially spiked the overall rate.
Obviously if Hispanics had the rather high crime rates you and others believe, this wouldn’t be the case.
Granted I find your research interesting, but you keep taking very select cases in particular circumstances and, it seems, generalizing way beyond their confines.
For example, do you deny that Hispanic cities like Los Cabos, Acupulco and Tijuana in Mexico, Caracas in Venezuela, Natal and Fortalez in Brazil, etc. (indeed, the 12 most dangerous cities in the world are entirely Hispanic cities, and if you look at the top 50, the vast majority are Hispanic, the rest are due to Black inhabitants) are vastly more violent than, say, Munich Germany, Rijeka, Croatia or Basel Switzerland (indeed, in the list of safest cities, there are a number from the Middle East, Europe and Japan, but only a single Hispanic city, Mérida, Mexico).
So will ask again: do you have any real evidence that your assumption that prison population statistics are accurate is true? Have you gone to randomly selected prisons and compared actual Hispanic inmate numbers versus reported Hispanic inmate numbers? Or do you have a (scientific) explanation for why Hispanics in Latin America are the most violent people on the planet, yet suddenly when illegally crossing the border they become the most law abiding?

Well, I think that you and I are living in different universes. Based on the voting patterns of white Californians, I think a large majority are living in mine.Replies: @CalDre, @216
It is true that you can keep people down with heavy totalitarian repression like California employs, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have racial or ethnic animus; it just means people are fearful...Again, it seems to me a lot of the conflict has been suppressed by California’s totalitarian Communist approach on any outward sign of “racism”, with the false “equality” dogma that Communists always use, which is perfectly displayed in SV itself.
“different universes” – SV (technology) and other “power centers” (Hollywood – movies; New York – advertising/finance; D.C. – politics) are indeed a different universe. Even though they have an enormous impact on the rest of the world, they are an extremely tiny portion of the world. They are representative of nobody.
” Based on the voting patterns” – Voting patterns means nothing. Don’t tell me you believe we live in a “democracy”. I have traveled far and wide in California and while I hardly discuss the topic with everyone, I have scarcely met people who approve of the state’s “sanctuary law” or that agree with “open borders”, yet, based on “voting patterns”, you would conclude an overwhelming majority of Californians support both policies.
“Voting patterns” in China indicate the Communist Party is hugely popular. So did “voting patterns” in USSR until 1991 – when suddenly the “voting patterns” changed. Voting patterns are a statistic. And you know what they say about eyes and statistics ….
Fundamentally where we disagree, is that I believe there is such a thing as “human nature”, call it “instinct”, and a very, very primal aspect of human nature is that people much prefer those who are similar over those who are dissimilar. No matter how much Communist propaganda the State throws at it, this does not change – because, it is human nature.
Open borders and sanctuary laws violate the most basic aspects of human nature (as does, for example, gay marriage).
Also I think this is why Californians are so miserable – because the more the propaganda departs from human nature, the more alienated people become from their inner selves, the unhappier people become.
I have no doubt California, as its current form of State, is going to fail miserably, as it is a miserable experiment in totalitarian thought control, just like every other Communist effort before it.
And please don’t start with the “Californians are enlightened” line. Look at the “polls” on how Californians feel about “Russian interference in the election” and other data, it is obvious Californians are just bleating sheep regurgitating the propaganda they are fed daily, just like everyone else. In fact Californians are particularly submissive sheep, they swallow the Bolshevik propaganda (whether it be trans-, “gay”, “immigration” or anything else) quicker than any other group I can think of. If the State ever collapses, you will learn extremely quickly what a fraudulent fig leaf this “manufactured consensus” is. It does not reflect reality but a deep fear of speaking “out of line” and being labeled and denounced.
Back to the immigration point: there are the “statistics” (voting patterns) and then there is reality. As I have noted, although about 40% of the State is White and 40% Hispanic, you rarely if ever see White-Hispanic couples (or even friends or business partners for that matter – certainly they are far far fewer than half of these relationships, which an unbiased selection would yield). That tells you all you need to know. Deeds are always more powerful than words or “statistics”.
Do we have any data on this?

How many Native Americans, who greeted Columbus with flowers and gifts...
Columbus’ diaries. There’s lots of works on them. Short summary at https://www.theodysseyonline.com/christopher-columbus-villain but I basically just searched for 2 seconds and posted the first link I found. Easy enough to research though.
Well, it all depends. Since California's current population is around 40 million and probably not much above 30% white European these days, I'd say it constitutes a pretty reasonable test-case.
Would you go further and argue that the entire United States would be ‘perfectly fine’ with whites at 30 per cent, bearing in mind that most of the remaining 70 per cent would hail from Third World countries which fall some way short of ‘perfectly fine’?
I’d say that the degree of racial/ethnic friction in 30% white CA might even be less than it was between Irish and Italians living in the Boston area 50-odd years ago.
This kind of violence is heavily repressed. Even “talk” of racial dislikes is extremely heavily repressed. It is true that you can keep people down with heavy totalitarian repression like California employs, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have racial or ethnic animus; it just means people are fearful. You can see what happens when the pressure cooker is removed in many instances in history, including, for example, the break-up of Yugoslavia.
So one thing that has *enormously* improved in CA over the last couple of generations has been the almost total disappearance of the sharp racial conflict that used to be such a major problem here.
This again depends on how you look at it. I find California to be amazingly segregated. You have Hispanics working in White businesses, but in general, not living with them. Integration is very poor. While I don’t sense a great hostility among the general population, there isn’t any great love either. You do not even see very many Hispanic-White couples – indeed, astoundingly few – despite the almost pervasive “economic integration” (meaning, Hispanics are constantly in contact with Whites due to work patterns).
Again, it seems to me a lot of the conflict has been suppressed by California’s totalitarian Communist approach on any outward sign of “racism”, with the false “equality” dogma that Communists always use, which is perfectly displayed in SV itself.

Every single demographic except for SOME east Asians commits significantly more crime (as in multiples) of the white rate.
What technically is “White” to you? Arabs are White, yet many Whites (despite denying Arabs are White) consider them to be especially violent (rightly or wrongly).
Also, how do you measure murder rates? Consider WW II, which, at least in the European theater, was a war entirely between Whites in which 30 million or more were killed. How many years would it take S. America, with its current crime rates, to catch up to that tidy sum? Think of all the prior European wars, and the violence of feudalism.
Perhaps if you tried to adjust for poverty and other factors you would find that these elements are more critical to crime rates than race. As a data point, consider crime rates in Russia during the Yeltsin years versus now, after economic stability has been restored, and consider the economic conditions in the high-crime Latin American areas. Indeed, go a step further, and compare Latin American crime rates over time against economic conditions for the lower classes over time.
Here is another perspective: how many non-Whites have Whites murdered, if you count all of the wars and colonizations by White people? How many Native Americans, who greeted Columbus with flowers and gifts, were murdered and enslaved by him and his greedy criminal allies?
Perhaps it can be said, that Whites are much more likely to commit collective, organized violence than other races?
Anyway, I don’t have all the answers, I just do know your comment is way over-simplistic.

1) in a nation of all Christian whites, Jews are at the bottom of the totem pole, but when surrounded by all non-whites, they are suddenly “white” by comparison
lol, Jews did quite well in Europe during the Middle Ages, when all but Jews were forced to convert to Christianity (i.e., they were the only “minority”), and are still doing quite well there now. And by doing quite well, I mean, the average Jew was vastly better off than the average Christian.
2) they are no longer the only out group, hence “safer”
It’s quite true that Jews have ruthlessly exploited other minorities – notably African-Americans in the US – to advance their own identity politics, but, I don’t see how that makes them safer. Aggressive, domineering, aberrational behavior can you get in trouble anywhere at any time, and Jews are notorious for absolutely refusing to assimilate – indeed that is their defining characteristic (Jews have always been free to assimilate wherever they have lived, whether in Christian or Muslim countries, it’s just that unlike everyone else, they adamantly refuse because of their belief in their own superiority, which is precisely the belief which gets them in “trouble” over time).
3) they like cheap labor.
Right, as if White and Black America weren’t flocking to Walmart (the China distribution center) in the 80s and 90s while America was being de-industrialized. Everyone likes cheap labor, i.e., everyone likes “more”.
When Jews take over an institution/industry, they invariably run it to the ground through their greed, dishonesty and lack of self-restraint
I don’t see how this is a peculiarly Jewish trait. What have Europeans done with their institutions? What has the Catholic Church done? What of the crimes of the nobility during feudalism, which mirror those of slavery? What rulers who have great power don’t abuse it? The only thing I would note that is particularly Jewish about the US corruption is that Jews put themselves above criticism with their “anti-Semitic” bullshit, which is enough reason to hate every single Jew who uses that epithet to advance Jewish power and corruption (which, unfortunately, is a quite large majority of self-identified Jews).
We can even see this through the shows produced by Netflix and Amazon
Of course the Christians pay for this degeneracy. It’s hardly fair to blame those who produce trash, when they get rich off it, and absolve those who buy it, thus creating the demand and reward. Note in this and virtually every other case of degeneracy, the First Amendment (as interpreted by the Black Robed Satanic Dictatorship) is the enemy of decency and edification.
they hire no more than 5,000 blue badge employees a year between these top 5 firms
I don’t know where you get this stat, but the fact is programming is an international language. If you had two equally competent employees, one demanding $150,000 per year and another $15,000 per year, who would you hire (imagine doing it now, with your money). I’ve been in that position myself, I never minded hiring foreign programmers (though I generally chose Eastern European ones). Again, this has nothing whatsoever to do with Jews; even if there were not a single Jew in the US or the world, this would be happening in the internet world.

I wrote “Not sure how you can be so wrong on this” because in general you strike me as a solid researcher. Maybe you have a blind spot on this issue as you seem to be super pro-Hispanic immigration? I gave you some research ideas (La Raza and Reconquista), I’m sure if you set your mind to it and research it objectively you will find it is far, far more than your “Supreme UFO God” anecdote. I don’t follow it in great detail but there was a quite big deal about this during the 2006 pro-immigration protests, with countless La Raza protesters in the US waving Mexican flags and walking the walk. Although I generally don’t like Human Events, some of that activity is summarized there.
No, the Latinos are an invading force, there is no doubt in my mind. They are smart enough not to rock the boat while the minority, but they will soon be the majority, and you will see more power be exercised.

I have lived all over both metropolitan and rural California, not just the utterly unrepresentative Silicon Valley, and I quite know what I am writing about here. When push comes to shove, and the Latino leader comes along, they will follow him, not you, and not Whitey.

What about the theory it was moved to December 25 for evangelical purposes? In particular, many pagan societies celebrated the winter solstice (also with pine trees and ornaments), and Christmas was moved to that day to usurp the festive day for the benefit of the ruling religious caste, i.e., to attract more followers and permit them to engage in the same practices they engaged in prior to being indoctrinated with Christian dogma to facilitate the conversion?

Agreed that this is making a mountain out of a molehill, but the fact is that the Trump Organization (which made one of the payments) is not Trump himself (it is a separate legal entity and since it was a not-for-profit, no, Trump cannot legally do what he wants with the money there, due to tax reasons) made one of the payments and the National Enquirer (which obviously is not Trump) the other.
But if we go the route of the National Enquirer, why isn’t a corporate newspaper’s endorsement of a candidate an illegal campaign contribution? Or that newspaper’s burial of a story harmful to the candidate they champion? Isn’t it all the same thing?
Particularly dishonest of the “Judge” (idiot) is his reference to Cohen’s three year jail term. Absolutely none of that time had anything to do with the hush money payments – it was based on his personal (unassociated with Trump) tax fraud and bank fraud. The campaign finance violation is a civil, not a criminal, matter, and the “Judge” (idiot) should know that, and probably does (and is just being a disingenuous fuck as usual).
