    All the people here cackling like it isn't even possible that China might also still be - in reality - controlled by jews would do well to take stock of the situation which they and we are all in, but most of them won't, even if you hold their shaking hands the entire way trying to stimulate them into serious thought & reflection, which is an enormous problem.

    That blend of arrogance, fear, ignorance, & possibly above all else straight up "emperor has no clothes" level of delusional denial is a large part of how & why Aryans wound up losing control of their own history, identity, posterity, etc to the jews in the first place and why we have mostly failed to effectively resist them.

    Among the minority of Aryans who are ostensibly "jew wise" & Aryan Loyalists, many fall into one of two extreme spectrums regarding just how bad our plight actually is & our prospects (&/or lack thereof) of successfully defeating jews in the grand scheme of things, they are:

    Extreme End of Spectrum #1) "110 times iz a comin' jews! based!"

    or

    #2) "Da jews are omnipotent & invincible! Resistance and even the mere contemplation of it is pointless. Every single 'jew wise Aryan Loyalist' iz secretly working for & controlled by da jews (except for me of course)! The jews had literally everything planned out 50,000 years ago, including the inventions of hollywood & central banking!"

    Neither of those are totally true. Yet, most "jew wise Aryan Loyalists" seem to fall in #1, which is arguably worse than the latter (its probably more dangerous to underestimate the jews than overestimate them)

    Also, the idea we on the outside looking in can blindly at face value figure out who's a genuine potential ally vs mortal enemy by studying the way the jew system portrays them is one of the most widespread problems we have been facing for a long time now.

    Just because jews seem to be attacking & denouncing so & so thing/person doesn't automatically mean so & so is legit & worthy of unconditional support (much less conditional support).

    The top jews absolutely know that the "jew wise" men are paying close attention to them & that many of us absolutely despise them in a white hot seething sort of way.

    Think about it this way; think of someone you absolutely despise/d in your personal life. Now, think about what your natural automatic reaction is if/when you hear someone you absolutely despise/d sing praises of so & so.

    Are you more inclined to think favorably about so & so? or are you more inclined to become deeply suspicious & hostile to so & so?

    If someone you despise/d approaches you & tells you that so & so is a wonderful trustworthy person, are you inclined to think favorably of that person & give them your trust? or are you inclined to become very suspicious of them & inclined to dislike them?

    Point being, jews understand that "jew wise" individuals/groups are going to automatically be inclined to be very suspicious & hostile towards/about anything big jew is promoting (ie with their mass media). They know that if they convincingly publicly attack, criticize, mock, etc something like christianity, many "jew wise" Aryans will reflexively be inclined to think favorably about it & assume that, "it must be good for me/us since the jews are pumping out articles seemingly kvetching about how 'DANGEROUS & BAD FOR THE JEWS!' christianity is..."

    Especially when its "jew wise" Aryans who have already been indoctrinated into whatever strain of christianity concerned - who are already inclined to see christianity favorably - them seeing big jew shouting in media headlines about how "scared & threatened" jews *act* as though they feel about christianity is a decisive clincher.

    Naturally, the jews are cackling in the background as such "jew wise" Aryans fall for the same trick over & over & over & over & over again.

    Now, I'm not saying that it's not worthwhile & potentially useful to try to monitor & study how jews represent so & so or that its totally meaningless. I'm saying we cannot afford to just take it at face value & buy it hook line & sinker.

    We have to take it much further. Is the thing/person that jews are SAYING is so scary & dangerous & terrible also being GENUINELY attacked by jews insofar as their DEEDS?

    In other words, is the thing/person TRULY being given the same treatment as National Socialism? Are jews attacking that fiercely with their deeds?

    Even then, we must always be willing to revise our assessments if legitimate evidence emerges warranting it.

    Anyway, idk if jews still control China or not. Hopefully they do not, but its utterly foolish to exclude even the basic possibility.

    The Venezuela invasion by the USA is an attempt to prop up the “petrodollar”, the unit of currency used worldwide to purchase oil products.
    The USA dollar has been the principle currency used to purchase oil products throughout the world. This system was established in 1974 by none other than Henry Kissinger in order to prop up the USA dollar.
    THAT is the reason forced regime change is being imposed on Venezuela.
    Venezuela has been selling oil to all comers, demanding payment in any currency but petrodollars. This is causing USA interests to react negatively towards Venezuela.
    The same situation existed in Libya which was set to demand payment for oil in gold, silver, and other non-USA currencies. This is why the USA assassinated Libya’s leader Ghaddafi.
    If the petrodollar goes down, so does the USA federal reserve system. The only thing propping up the USA dollar is its use in petroleum transactions.
    If Iran is successful in shutting down the Strait of Hormuz after an israeli attack, Venezuela will be the only large petroleum reserve in the world.

    How Chinese elites see Trump's actions?

    The following from Cao Yang's comment appeared in guancha.cn yesterday. (Cao Yang is a researcher of China Institute for International Strategic Studies.)


    We talk about being lenient with the enemy and taking the opponent seriously; these are tactical principles. But strategically, I think the guiding principle is still the old man's: two words: despise.

    Especially with figures like Trump, we must neither underestimate nor overestimate them. Strategically, overestimating our opponents will stifle our strategic thinking, making it difficult for us to break with convention and creatively devise game strategies.

    In reality, while Trump may have been a powerful figure for a time, his essence is not that of a true politician or strategist, but rather a political opportunist. His mindset is that of a daring business-man, and his strategies and methods are those of a reality TV show host.

    我们讲料敌从宽,讲重视对手,这是战术原则,而在战略上,我看,还是老人家的指导思想,两个字:藐视。

    特别对于特朗普之流,我们既不能低估,更不可高估。在战略上,过度高估对手,会束缚我们的战略思维,让我们很难打破常规,创造性地思考博弈对策。

    其实,特朗普虽然是一时之枭雄,但是,其本质,不是真正的政治家、战略家,而是一个政治投机客,其思维,是一个大胆的商人,而其策略和手法,就是一个真人秀栏目策划人。

    The comparison with the Gestapo need not alarm anyone.

    1933 Denaturalization Law: This law allowed the state to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Jews and "undesirables," specifically targeting those who had immigrated from Eastern Europe since 1918.
    Nuremberg Laws (1935): The Reich Citizenship Law formally stripped all German Jews of their citizenship, reclassifying them as "state subjects" and effectively rendering them stateless in their own country.
    2. Targeted Expulsions: The "Polenaktion" (1938)
    The Gestapo's first major experiment with mass removal occurred in October 1938, targeting Jews with Polish citizenship (many of whom had lived in Germany for decades).
    Mass Arrests: On the orders of Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Gestapo, approximately 17,000 Polish Jews were rounded up overnight.
    Forced Deportation: The Gestapo forced these individuals to cross the border into Poland under threats of violence. When Polish authorities refused entry, thousands were left in a "no-man's-land" near the border town of Zbąszyń.

    If only it could happen again. How I learned to stop worrying.

    Right, and the goons are goons hired by Soros and that fellow living in China, who needs to be extradited with the CCP’s cooperation or captured and tried, along with Soros and the rest, for capital treason and attempted overthrow of the United States government.

    What Hedges doesn’t want anyone to notice is that the Marxist protests are essentially warfare— a proxy war of the left against what’s left of Christian America and its family communities. It is a continuation of the insurrectionist Floyd riots. Same actors and same source of funding from the Left. What happened in South America in the past is what the Trump administration hopes to prevent happening here, not the other way around, and what the Democrats desperately hope to achieve.

    ICE was conducting lawful and very necessary raid to get illegal aliens out. Crazed woman inserts herself , performs action that ICE guy saw as a threat and gets brains splattered all over the car.
     
    Chis Hedges turns this into the "slippery slope" scenario where, if the ICE agent gets away with it, the next thing you know you'll be rounded up and sent to the concentration camps when the Democrats are back in power. I'm not buying it. We voted for illegals to be deported, anyone interfering with their arrests needs to be punished severely enough - prison, heavy fines, their automobiles confiscated - that it stops others from joining in.

    These anti-ICE provocateurs are criminals, treating them as such doesn't mean that non-criminals will soon getting the same treatment. The idea that ICE agents, if not stopped, will soon be breaking down your door at 2:00 a.m. and blowing your head off in ridiculous.

    Renee Good getting three bullets fired point-blank into her head was a one-off overkill. It shouldn't have happened, and wouldn't have happened if she hadn't interfered with ICE arrests. This event is a wakeup call: The US government must crackdown hard, extremely hard, on all those who intervene in ICE arrests. Period. First: Because they're breaking the law. Second: To keep another stupid fool from being the agent of their own death.

    Final note: It'll be a gigantic loss to America's rule of law if these anti-ICE provocateurs win this. If they win the rest of us non-illegals lose.

    As I have now seen more of the evidence I conclude that my preliminary assumption were incorrect.

    The spin in the mass media is just as dishonest as in the Floyd case.

    She clearly hit the ICE agent, and if he had slipped he would likely be crippled or dead.
    She were shot about the same time she hit him.
    The ICE agent would have heard her revving the engine, and then hit him.
    The ICE agent would have heard the wheels spinning/slipping as she accelerated as hard as possible towards him, if the engine didn't drown it out.
    The ICE agent would see the car accelerate towards him, and likely see the rear droop because of the acceleration.

    As she were continually turning from the front left toward front right during the acceleration one might speculate that she tried to turn away but this does not change what she did.

    American interventionism? Allow me to correct you—please. Obviously, to me, few people truly understand that Jews were a people before May 14, 1948—without a country. Before that Israel did not exist. Before May, 1948 the land the Jews were stealing was known as British Palestine.

    The Ottoman Empire conquered and incorporated the region of Palestine into its dominion in 1516, following its victory over the Mamluk Sultanate at the Battle of Marj Dabiq.

    It is said, by the Jews, they have a very ancient history in the land. The Jewish claim to indigeneity is based on a three-thousand—year-old continuous history and the status of the land since ancient times and the focus of Jewish life and yearning.

    Until May 14, 1948 Jews were dispersed. And had been for 3000 years.

    Zionist/Jews wanted a homeland and even considered other places than Palestine to establish one.

    Zionist/Jews were persuaded that they could encourage American intervention in Europe in WWI by propagandizing in the U.S., the necessity of doing so, as “fighting for democracy.” Germany was winning the war! Lord Balfour, in a letter to Rothschild, promised to give Palestine to the Zionist/Jews in return for American intervention.

    So, practically, Americans were fighting against the Germans, but in reality Americans were in Germany to ensure that the British won the war—so that the promise to Rothschild by Lord Balfour could be fulfilled. In essence then, for all intents and purposes, it became a Jewish war, though given it was a war promulgated by bankers, it was in fact a Jewish war from the beginning in Europe in 1914.

    Surely the present wars are bankers wars! Bankers have the most to gain and the gains for them, are long run gains. Observably their plant and equipment never runs down—does it? Long after tanks, and battleships and aeroplanes are rusting away in useless heaps and the dead are buried—the debts incurred by governments to the Zionist/Bankers are still being paid back dozens of years into the future.

    Few know that Great Britain was still paying off its WW II debts to the United States and Canada over 50 years later, with the final payment made on December 29, 2006! In other words the ordinary English taxpayer was paying for a war promulgated by the Zionist/Jewish bankers.

    By the time of the final payment in 2006, the initial loans, $3.75 billion (plus a $586 million Lend-Lease loan) to the U.S. and a Canadian loan of $1.19 billion were repaid, the U.K. had paid a total of around $7.5 billion to the U.S. and $2 billion to Canada—accounting for principal plus interest.

    The world would be a better place without Zionist/Jewish intervention in WW I and WW II and almost every war you could name for thousands of years. Nations come and go but the Zionist/Jewish bankers thrive by sucking the blood from the citizens for many decades after the end of hostilities.

    Israel is proving to be a mill-stone around the necks of the Jews! The Zionist/Jews wanted it, now they have it—“real good!” But make no mistake the citizens of the United States are paying to keep Israel alive—whether they want to or not.

    All the blather about God promising the Hebrews, a single bloody thing, is simply blather and bull-shit promulgated to justify murder, slaughter, and thievery. My father was wont to say, “…there is one thing worse than a thief?”

    Answering his own question he say, “…a bloody liar.” He was with the British in Palestine during the Arab uprising 1937-1939. He ought to know!

    Of course Jews, for the most part do not know their own history, except some specious interpretation of their ancient myths. Jews are nothing but a cult rampant. They are nothing but psychopathic trouble-makers with an extensive and exclusive vocabulary they never stop using to betray the Goyim.

    In defense of Germany's militarism: Germany (or rather the various German states, then unified in 1871) had centuries of territorial and political encroachment: Since the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648):
    The Holy Roman Empire was fragmented; German lands were repeatedly devastated by foreign armies.
    Territories were carved off, depopulated, or heavily taxed to fund foreign wars.
    19th-century losses and pressures: The Napoleonic Wars reshaped borders and diminished influence.
    By the late 19th century, Germany was a relatively young nation-state surrounded by older, established powers. This fostered a persistent sense of insecurity and encirclement — militarism was partly defensive and partly expressive: showing strength to avoid further predation.

    German military culture developed not purely from ideology, but from centuries of repeated invasions and territorial insecurity. The General Staff, conscription system, and heavy industrial-military investment were responses to structural vulnerability, not just nationalist belligerence.
    Barnes’s early work emphasized that multi-causal, structural factors drove WWI, not simply moral failings or national character.

    If you integrate these territorial and demographic pressures, German militarism looks predictable, even rational in context, rather than uniquely evil. This strengthens the idea that “blame Germany alone” is too simplistic, exactly what Barnes argued.

    Even as he doesn't put it quite like that, because as you've noticed, he's careful to couch his anti-white fervor in oblique, obfuscatory language, in between banal insults.

    he *says* he approves of the deportations. "There’s nothing wrong with it at all, but there’s also a proper way to go about doing it," and forgive me, but I suspect that the 'proper' way to go about it, from muh muh's perspective, is to not do it at all.

    Now, as you can see, I did just infer what I consider to be muh muh's deeply held convictions, but as he'll never say so out loud, how else can we crystalize his motivating ethos, other than by ciphering from his relentless agenda-driven comments?

    But I enjoy our conversations, even as he relentlessly and shamelessly sets up straw men, ["You insinuate that she was boiling with rage"], and then knocks them down, thinking he's accomplished some victory, or other, but then I just point out his antics, and so it goes over and over and over...

    My hope is that for those who're not ideologically blinkered, they'll consider the meat and potatoes of the debate, and make up their own minds, whether or not 8 billion people are all de-facto American citizens, with the right to squat here, and get their gibs, and entitled to all the Constitutional protections that American citizens have - (which is effectively what these stupendously idiotic protesters are all insisting).

    For those challenged people, who judge every issue based on their feelings, then these debates are not for them. Their "minds" are already made up. But for those who think, (which I suspect TUR has more than its share), perhaps there's merit to our conversations.

    It's just not true, the real tax rates, real government spending, were much lower in the 1950s.
    In fact, I would agree with you "nominally" to go back to 1950's relevant economic policy. It's just the characterization is a shitlib one I believed for years, and yes Reagan was part of it.

    Real government spending has increased 5x.

    As DOGE was finding out, this is because government essentially has to subsidize people who are underemployed or unemployed. Reagan and his people expanded the government while shipping productive jobs overseas.

    This was first noticed by hard-headed Teamsters who saw the Nixon Administration funneling investment dollars to Japan (Dick was worried about Nippon reneging on American loans) while at the same time creating the incredibly expensive DEA.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration, in turn, inspired the Education Lobby to lobby more intensely for its own department, which it duly got. Even in the early 1970a it was obvious the American economy was never going to create enough work for the university graduates flooding the system since the 1950s. We had a choice between subsidizing eggheads, even dumb ones, or putting up with an economy even worse than the one we already have.

    You are correct in noting that the tax rates of fifty years ago were geared to a different sort of productive economy. Much of that one is either gone or so insanely specialized that history is only a partial guide. But if the US could subsidize foreign nations for decades, our billionaires who reaped the benefits of it can subsidize an industrial resurgence.

    She had been obstructing these guys doing their jobs, like some woke cunt. I would have called her much worse, even as I don't think he should have shot her, based on what I saw. Still, in none of these contexts would I call it murder, but more likely manslaughter, unless he genuinely feared for his safety, which he may have, having been dragged and seriously injured previously.

    Once again, the subject at hand concerns what was going through Good’s mind just before she was murdered. You insinuate that she was boiling with rage when, in fact, Ross’s own cellphone footage shows exactly the opposite, revealing Ross as the unhinged, angry cop he is.

    FWIW, you have zero evidence that Good was protecting any of the people in your linked tweet, and even if she was, you have no evidence that she knew anything about their offenses.

    Would you please simply answer this simple question?

    I’ve already answered it, multiple times before. Dude, you’re becoming senescent.

    There’s nothing wrong with it at all, but there’s also a proper way to go about doing it, and the American public is becoming increasingly aware that ICE is far too heavy handed in its approach:

    Americans sour on ICE amid immigration crackdown shootings

    By the numbers: ICE had a +16 net approval rating last February at the start of Trump’s second term, according to YouGov.

    That rating cratered over the year to -14 as the administration’s immigration policies — including Stephen Miller’s plan to arrest ideally 3,000 people per day — took hold. […]

    Of note: Meanwhile, support for abolishing ICE has surged.

    In September 2024, just 19% supported abolishing the agency, according to survey data from research firm Civiqs, while 66% opposed.

    This month, 42% support abolishing the agency and 49.5% oppose.

    https://www.axios.com/2026/01/09/ice-approval-rating-plummets-trump-immigration

    Team Trump’s got a choice before them:

    Either they start paying serious attention to their tanking approval ratings and respond with wisdom rather than irrationality, or they forfeit the midterms.

    It’s just that simple.

    Thanks Palmm,

    not only that, but I'm convinced he's ideologically fanatical about the Great Replacement, and that it can't happen fast enough.

    Even as he doesn't put it quite like that, because as you've noticed, he's careful to couch his anti-white fervor in oblique, obfuscatory language, in between banal insults.

    he *says* he approves of the deportations. "There’s nothing wrong with it at all, but there’s also a proper way to go about doing it," and forgive me, but I suspect that the 'proper' way to go about it, from muh muh's perspective, is to not do it at all.

    Now, as you can see, I did just infer what I consider to be muh muh's deeply held convictions, but as he'll never say so out loud, how else can we crystalize his motivating ethos, other than by ciphering from his relentless agenda-driven comments?

    But I enjoy our conversations, even as he relentlessly and shamelessly sets up straw men, ["You insinuate that she was boiling with rage"], and then knocks them down, thinking he's accomplished some victory, or other, but then I just point out his antics, and so it goes over and over and over...

    My hope is that for those who're not ideologically blinkered, they'll consider the meat and potatoes of the debate, and make up their own minds, whether or not 8 billion people are all de-facto American citizens, with the right to squat here, and get their gibs, and entitled to all the Constitutional protections that American citizens have - (which is effectively what these stupendously idiotic protesters are all insisting).

    For those challenged people, who judge every issue based on their feelings, then these debates are not for them. Their "minds" are already made up. But for those who think, (which I suspect TUR has more than its share), perhaps there's merit to our conversations.

    Nevertheless, I consider it fun, for the most part.

    Right, this is the “Q tard” argument. Generally speaking, the argument is that the “Clowns” of the CIA are their own self serving entity. Yeah, probably, why not. It makes some sense when “the US progressives” have some relations with “left wing populist” Latin American leaders.
     
    Don't know much about Q, I'm just going by what I see and know to make sense of the world. In my opinion the CIA in cooperation with others such as the Secret Service, Italian and Jewish/ZIOs mafias took over the country after offing Kennedy. Every president since has been controlled with the possible exception of Trump but that remains to be seen. The only president mildly opposed to the CIA was taken out by the Watergate Op. Wasn't it Schumer who said on MSN-DC TV that you can't cross the deepstate as they have 6 ways to Sunday to screw you over? Before the CIA it was Hoover's FBI that found dirt on everyone and ran DC. CIA ousted them and now creates dirt such as the Epstein Op, a logical progression in mafia warfare. All these groups - CIA, FBI, MIC, Mossad, ZIOs, neo-Cons, "the jews", et. al. are not monolithic entities but have secret, corrupt factions within that are vying for power. We live under a system of warring mafias and Trump is ending that, he's taking down the CIA that runs drugs/guns/humans and the British bankers laundering the money.

    As far as Maduro is concerned, it seemed a little too easy, too "according to plan" with mild push back from Russia or China. Since when does a decapitation op. take the target's wife? To me Maduro looks like he's in protective custody, not a criminal in jail on his way to court. How many outfit changes does a prisoner get in 24hrs?

    But it is not longer the Cold War, and many former soviet aligned countries dropped their “secular ideology” and brought back more traditional Catholic symbols and laws.
     
    I agree here. When communism supposedly "fell" in the USSR they kept all the same laws, same bureaucrats/managers, renamed the country and a few departments like the KGB and continued on as before. I don't recall the "truth and reconciliation" tribunals to throw the bastards in jail or hang them.

    So I'm not naive about Russia or China's threats to the US and I doubt Trump is either. Trump reviving the so-called Donroe Doctrine is kicking them out of the Western Hemisphere with no military tit-for-tat reaction. To understand this you have to see that Trump is, at heart, a deal maker. So I think he already negotiated a this-for-that deal, namely, Russia et. al. can deal with and run Europe and the Middle East, China et. al. can deal with and run S.E. Asia while the US runs the Americas from Greenland to Tierra del Fuego. Does this make me a Q-tard?

    Is there anything wrong at all, with rounding up, and deporting people who are here illegally?
     
    If we remove the words "at all" from this question then in general terms, no. The law is the law, and lawbreakers and enforcers have a responsibility to act on it or suffer the lawful penalty. However, the use of unreasonable force by an armed law enforcer in any situation must be contained within a very tight framework because it's a license to kill endorsed by the government yet on the basis of an inherently flawed human being's potentially flawed judgment. Who knows what the precise state of mind the officer is in? Who knows his precise feelings about immigrants, at the time of a specific incident, or ever? Circumstances and behaviors can be grossly misinterpreted and misunderstood, especially in the heat of the moment. Ending a life is final. A mistake can't be corrected when the person is dead. Obviously a lawbreaker with a potentially deadly weapon (such as a car in this instance) can also do this, but law enforcement under license by the government must be held by restraint, and the highest possible standard of restraint. That's what the DHS rules are about. . We can't have a posse of mentally unhinged Trumpists with badges running around shooting Biden's mistakes. A lot more can be said about this from both moral and policy perspectives but a brief response is hopefully sufficient to clarify.

    I'm always rather touched to see Americans write about "checks and balances" as if theirs were the first polity to have such a feature. As for dealing with a brain-dead President, it is notable that both with Wilson and Biden your system failed utterly.

    Whereas when poor old George III had his worst mad spell his son was wheeled in as Prince Regent and everything carried on more or less satisfactorily.

    In spite of all the talk of "Revolution" it seems to me that the only strikingly revolutionary - i.e. non-British - feature of the US Constitution was the setting up of a Supreme Court that was independent of the other branches of government by virtue of constitutional law rather than by evolution of custom and practice.

    Eventually the Supreme Court seized more power than the Constitution granted it but then there was no superior court to rule against it, eh? Bit of a flaw in the Constitution, that.

    In 1953, under Eisenhower, for god's sake, the highest marginal income tax rate was 92 percent.

    After Reagan started slashing it, the highest marginal income tax rate under Daddy Bush in 1990 was 28 percent. It remains low, somewhere in the 30s at any given time.

    Meaning, as Reagan saw it, that employers were keeping their own money to hire more Americans, get new plants (or more important, upgrade old ones), help train and educate the workforce, all that.

    Instead the fools bought bigger McMansions, bigger yachts, dug bunkers, invested (heavily) in foreign startups where they get more bang for their bucks, all that.

    As DOGE was finding out, this is because government essentially has to subsidize people who are underemployed or unemployed. Reagan and his people expanded the government while shipping productive jobs overseas.

    This was first noticed by hard-headed Teamsters who saw the Nixon Administration funneling investment dollars to Japan (Dick was worried about Nippon reneging on American loans) while at the same time creating the incredibly expensive DEA.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration, in turn, inspired the Education Lobby to lobby more intensely for its own department, which it duly got. Even in the early 1970a it was obvious the American economy was never going to create enough work for the university graduates flooding the system since the 1950s. We had a choice between subsidizing eggheads, even dumb ones, or putting up with an economy even worse than the one we already have.

    You are correct in noting that the tax rates of fifty years ago were geared to a different sort of productive economy. Much of that one is either gone or so insanely specialized that history is only a partial guide. But if the US could subsidize foreign nations for decades, our billionaires who reaped the benefits of it can subsidize an industrial resurgence.

    Don't know much about Q, I'm just going by what I see and know to make sense of the world. In my opinion the CIA in cooperation with others such as the Secret Service, Italian and Jewish/ZIOs mafias took over the country after offing Kennedy. Every president since has been controlled with the possible exception of Trump but that remains to be seen. The only president mildly opposed to the CIA was taken out by the Watergate Op. Wasn't it Schumer who said on MSN-DC TV that you can't cross the deepstate as they have 6 ways to Sunday to screw you over? Before the CIA it was Hoover's FBI that found dirt on everyone and ran DC. CIA ousted them and now creates dirt such as the Epstein Op, a logical progression in mafia warfare. All these groups - CIA, FBI, MIC, Mossad, ZIOs, neo-Cons, "the jews", et. al. are not monolithic entities but have secret, corrupt factions within that are vying for power. We live under a system of warring mafias and Trump is ending that, he's taking down the CIA that runs drugs/guns/humans and the British bankers laundering the money.

    As far as Maduro is concerned, it seemed a little too easy, too "according to plan" with mild push back from Russia or China. Since when does a decapitation op. take the target's wife? To me Maduro looks like he's in protective custody, not a criminal in jail on his way to court. How many outfit changes does a prisoner get in 24hrs?

    But it is not longer the Cold War, and many former soviet aligned countries dropped their “secular ideology” and brought back more traditional Catholic symbols and laws.
     
    I agree here. When communism supposedly "fell" in the USSR they kept all the same laws, same bureaucrats/managers, renamed the country and a few departments like the KGB and continued on as before. I don't recall the "truth and reconciliation" tribunals to throw the bastards in jail or hang them.

    So I'm not naive about Russia or China's threats to the US and I doubt Trump is either. Trump reviving the so-called Donroe Doctrine is kicking them out of the Western Hemisphere with no military tit-for-tat reaction. To understand this you have to see that Trump is, at heart, a deal maker. So I think he already negotiated a this-for-that deal, namely, Russia et. al. can deal with and run Europe and the Middle East, China et. al. can deal with and run S.E. Asia while the US runs the Americas from Greenland to Tierra del Fuego. Does this make me a Q-tard?

    There is one hell of a difference between beting a citizen of the USA and being an American.

     

    Good point. My reply to the original post was to rebut the idea that only “Whites” with European ancestors can become “American” by obtaining US citizenship. Since the Native Americans living in North America as well as the New Mexicans, Californios, Tejanos, etc. living in Nueva España are not “Whites”, they wouldn’t have been able to acquire US citizenship based on the 1790 US Naturalization Act which was passed a few years after the original thirteen colonies of British America fought the War of Independence and became the United States of America. Here’s a map of North America at the time circa 1780:

    https://cdn.britannica.com/10/126810-050-6ADE689B/viceroyalties-Spanish-territories-Portuguese-Western-Hemisphere-1780.jpg

    But those natives of North America don’t need to acquire US citizenship in order to become “Americans” because they were already living in North America (and Nueva España) before the founding of the USA as an independent country. What I am trying to rebut is the argument of Whites (with European ancestry) who claim to have the exclusive rights of sovereignty, residence and ownership to the land now called “America” simply by virtue of being granted US citizenship based on the 1790 US Naturalization Act. As pointed out by other posters, those natives of North America are as “American” if not more so than the Whites who arrived later and settled in the USA by invading, conquering and colonizing the land now called “America”. If those natives of North America are not eligible for US citizenship based on 1790 US Naturalization Act, then how on Earth are they going to continue living in the land now called “America” without becoming extinct? This legal requirement that only “Whites” of European origin could acquire US citizenship is politically flawed because those natives of North America did not emigrate to the United States of America that expanded its borders to encompass all of the land now called “America” presently occupied by “Whites” of European origin who arrived later and settled in the USA during the 19th and 20th centuries.

    Probably by ethnic set asides, there’s already a framework in the Tribal Reservations. There would also have to be a tiered system. There is almost no enforcement of loyalty either, the vows naturalized citizens make is largely a “yes, gimme paper.”

    But the argument is mostly correct, just by the historical fact that the US had trouble assimilating Irish, Italians, and many Germans – the logic of “Whites only” still holds. If you expect Irish to change the Anglo Character of the US (they did), no serious person can lie to your face about a Hindu from Tamil Nadu being as American as Alexander Hamilton.

    How the USA formulates and conducts its immigration and naturalization policies is a legitimate exercise of its national sovereignty as every nation has the sovereign right to decide its own national identity. If France has the sovereign right to decide who is French while China has the sovereign right to decide who is Chinese, then the USA has the sovereign right to decide who is "American".

    The USA passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1880 to ban Chinese immigration which is a legitimate exercise of its national sovereignty. The USA then passed the Immigration Act of 1924 to ban all Asian immigration as well as limit the number of European immigrants based on a national quota system that favored "Nordic" or "Protestant" immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while restricting European immigrants who are "Latin", "Catholic", "Slavic" or "Jewish" from Southern and Eastern Europe.

    The following decades indeed saw a total cessation of Asian immigration as well as a massive decline in European immigration but Latin American immigration continued due to the farm lobby. Only after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was enacted four decades later did the number of immigrants increase rapidly while the racial composition of immigrants changed dramatically.

Once their minds were subdued to the degenerate cosmopolitan 'creed of compassion'--then their nations would naturally follow.

    Increased debt (bank loans) since 2000... very roughly... but conservatively...

    1) U.S. national debt was $6T in 2001 when Bush took office. Since then, it has increased by over $30T.
    2) Corporate debt (to fund mergers/acquisitions)... $9T.
    3) Real estate debt... $9T.
    4) Consumer debt... $3T.
    5) Fed asset purchases... $9T
    6) Many other things.

    A 25-year debt increase of 30+9+9+3+9 = $60T

    Assuming an average of 300M Americans... that's $60T/300M = $200K per American ($8K/yr)

    Assuming four Americans per household... that's $800K per American family ($32K/yr)

    The increased national debt (which many analysts claim is mostly due to increased homeland security spending) of $30T is equivalent to $400K per American household, enough for EVERY American family to have completely purchased a BIG fancy house... or built thousands of miles of highspeed railroads to compete with China's 35K miles... in just the past 25 years.

    In "English"... if the old-fashioned "interest rates" mechanism had not been "hidden" using "derivative contracts" (i.e. insurance contracts to hedge/wager on interest rate fluctuation "risk"... which were totally illegal before the Clinton administration... i.e. before the USSR disappeared and the U.S. decided to force a global dollar monetary system)... this HUGE amount of money/debt creation would NOT have been possible/allowed/legal.

    And BTW... as everyone knows... in these past 25 years... the wealth of the global 5% Managerial Class has dramatically increased... while the wealth of the global 95% working class has dramatically decreased (particularly in the West). Basic logic... I believe... suggests that the legalization of derivatives (deregulation of insurance contracts) had MUCH to do with this 'change' (ah yes... "change"... which leads to the even BIGGER story... Obama's Bailouts... tens of $trillions more).

    In just 25 years... $30T increased U.S. debt... $400K ($16K/yr)... per American family of four! For increased homeland security? If we had built a continental highspeed rail network the return on investment would have been HUGE... AND it would easily have repaid all the debt. Why doesn't ANYONE care to talk about this... I can't find a single person here in Texas that will talk about this stuff... or anything else. Why????

    Palestinian Jews receiving only 23% of the land was less than fair, but it was potentially workable.

    The key problem was launched in the 1940's when the newly formed UN overthrew settled international law. Less than ¼ of the land for Palestinian Jews was too much. So, the UN illegally attempted to steal more. Nothing has been the same since then. Once Islam was rewarded with Jewish land, they have attempted to repeat this feat, stealing more and more.

    There is a path forward. Return to the original 2 state solution. Muslims in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza become legally & officially Jordanian. They receive Jordanian documentation. They have the right to travel to Jordan. And, so on.

    • Those who place 1st priority on the fates of Muslim women & children trapped on the battlefield will take up this opportunity.

    • Those who place 1st priority on violence, such as the October 7 Genocide Attack will refuse. They do not care about Muslim women & children at risk.

    Sadly, Muslim colonists have been indoctrinated to choose violence. The original 2 state solution could still work, but Islamists will not give international law a chance... Even after 70 years of failed efforts at obviously unworkable & illegal UN proposals.

    Your concluding assertions true. And why? Because when Jews chose to to reject the Christ it was a total inversion of what they were supposed to be. God's blessing was to Abraham for being a man of FAITH and acting on it in the world. The entire world at some point then would get blessed, coming of the Messias. The Jewish and Israeli peoples were to follow basic Mosaic given law and religious worship, which was to feature preparation to accept the Messias. But when the Messias came, Jews rejected. That means the Jewish Race chose to be anti-Christ. It chose to serve the desires of Satan.

    No other Race as such could make the choice because no other Race was descended from Abraham.

    The closest would be Arabs, because Ishmael, a defining ancestor of later Arabs, was a son of Abraham, Hence, the Arabic creation of their ethnic version of anti-Christ religion, Islam, has done a amazing amount of evil where it lands in any numbers.

    During the 19th century, the uppermost class of Brit WASps was divided between whether the native philo-Semitism of WASP culture should be focused on Jews or on Arabs and Islam. Those that favored a Jewish focus tended very much to be focused on things like banking and memorizing Bible verses. Those that favored Arabic and Islamic focus tended to be focused on the need to keep expanding the empire no matter how many got killed.

    As for your claim that I, or anyone else, is offering you a 'humiliation of U.S organised labour', you're making shit up on the fly.
    Under the system YOU (and Donald Chump) propose, one of protectionism, the U.S workers will experience:
    1) The most humiliation - as real wages fall (along with the USD)
    2) A lower standard of living (because it will cost MORE to buy the same stuff* as before)
    (*And that's assuming you actually get the 'same stuff' in qualitative terms. It is far more likely you'll get a LESSER quality product and pay more for it).
    3) Chronic inflation (which will soon become runaway inflation as the USD loses world reserve currency status).

    As surely as night follows day, ALL of the above will come to pass.
    And when it does, I know you won't have the decency to say: 'OK, I got it wrong - my hare-brained Socialist ideas didn't work and are never likely to work).

    In relation to the undeniably true statement that 'foreign businesses do not pay tariffs' (because it will be the U.S consumer why actually foots the bill), Mr/Ms Overland responds with:


    Foreign businesses apparently disagree. Have you not noticed how they react?
     
    Yes of course, SPECIFIC business owners in China, Canada or Mexico will complain about the tariffs as THEY personally will lose market share and sell less of their products.
    But what you (and the economically ignorant Achmed miss), is that the the overwhelming bulk of the lost sales to those Chinese/Mexican/Canadian businessmen, will NOT result in American businesses filling in the void.

    Said loss of market share will go to OTHER third world hell holes who will still be far cheaper than the American manufacturers.
    Achmed responds by saying that the solution would be to impose tariffs on ALL NATIONS.
    But this would result in a WORLD OF HURT for American consumers, as those struggling in today's environment who are already hard pressed to make ends meet, won't be able to afford the rent and will be forced into those ever expanding tent cities of the homeless or resort to sleeping under freeway overpasses and bridges.

    An across the board increase in tariffs will send the rate of inflation sky rocketing - with all the consequences this entails.
    Meanwhile, you Mr Overland (and especially the Deficient-In-Economic-Understanding Achmed), desperately need to watch the 2 mins of the following video from 8:10-10:00 as Peter Schiff (former economic advisor for Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign, and the premier economic forecaster on the planet), tells you exactly what Donald Chump's tariffs will result in:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq9WMoGXMxw

    Summary: The imposition of tariffs by Donald J Chump is EXACERBATING THE DECLINE IN THE USD and will fast track the loss of world reserve currency status for the USD.
    When the USD loses this exorbitant privilege, it is Game/Set/& Match over for America, as the USSA descends into an inflationary depression which sees it becoming a Banana Republic.

    Peter Schiff said the USD index was DOWN 4% in just a matter of a few days.
    He said THE DOLLAR IS TANKING.
    So this is playing out right now in REAL TIME, as USD holders dump them for REAL MONEY (ie: Gold) which can't be digitally conjured out of thin air by the ZOG owned Federal Reserve.
     
    And, to the extent that Donald Chump may decide to introduce across-the-board tariffs on all nations, this will FAST TRACK the demise of the USD and send inflation to the moon.

    Anyway, I for one am excited by all of this. I sincerely hopes Chump jacks ups tariffs to the stratosphere, because I KNOW what's coming thereafter.
    Meanwhile Achmed, you and the other clueless MAGAts can keep hoping all you like that Chump will be the saviour. He is nothing of the sort. He's a ZOG sock puppet through and through.

    His job is to purposely WRECK the U.S economy.
    That way, in the aftermath of the wreckage, the ZOG controlled MSM and talking heads will say:
    'You see, Capitalism doesn't work. What we need is an all powerful centralised Authoritarian Socialist Gubmint that will deliver "equity" and equitable outcomes'.

    But the reality was that there was no Capitalism (at least in the Big End of town) being practised in America in the last 35 years anyway.
    The U.S had long ago descended into being a Socialist shit hole.

    Lastly Achmed, if you're reading this (which I know you are), what's with this stupid remark of yours (referencing the bogus NTSB report on Senator Paul Wellstone's plane crash)?:

    It’s IN THE REPORT, dumbass!
     
    What don't you understand about the following statement?:

    The NTSB/NIST reports on ANY ZOG CONJURED CRIME (whether it be the destruction of TWA Flight 800 from the mid 90's, the 9/11 False Flag or Wellstone's plane crash), will be B.S from start to finish.
    What's wrong with you Achmed? You're like that dude in the movie Trading Places at the end shouting 'Turn Those Machines Back On!!' (10 sec video):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPZn4rbiB8g

    The only thing is, you be shouting: 'It's IN THE REPORT', and 'Trust the Science' (ie: the science of the ZOG controlled NTSB).

    Right, it is always better to describe parties involved, rather than the “legal entity.” So, Business taxes are paid by employees, shareholders, and consumers. The tax share I don’t now, but obviously, those are the three parties who must pay.

    It’s a fundamental disagreement: Is “targeted Mercantilism,” politically preferable? President Trump and China/Chairman Xi agree. Free trade causes people to move around – just look at the US states. So this is an issue beyond economic efficiency.

    Is “targeted Mercantilism,” politically preferable?
     
    Not a politician, I do not pretend to know what is politically preferable. However, as far as what is good for the United States, targeted mercantilism is preferable to free trade in my opinion. Nontargeted mercantilism is also preferable to free trade. I do not know whether targeted is preferable to nontargeted.

    Extreme mercantilism (100-percent tariffs and the like) would be unwise, but only moderate mercantilism is on offer in the United States at the moment, and moderate mercantilism is just what I want.

    I notice that free traders keep trying to sell me free trade based on putative benefits I do not value. The free traders offer me (1) inexpensive foreign-made consumer goods, (2) humiliation of U.S. organized labor, (3) jobs supplying things foreigners demand, (4) interdependency between the United States and foreign countries, (5) a theoretical, almost imperceptible, Heckscher-Ohlin rise in U.S. GDP due to comparative advantage, and (6) the chance to sneer at my fellow citizens for failing to understand Ricardian trade theory as well as I do. I want none of these things, I don't value them, I want other things, and I am not the only one that thinks this way.

    I am a fan of Mearsheimer, but like each of us, he has his weaknesses.

    Here is what I assert is the most important passage in this Hua Bin piece:


    Regarding his analysis about US Israel relationship, I contend they are also superficial and fail to probe into the true depth of Israeli/Zionist Jewish control over US politics, foreign policy, economics, finance, media, academia, and religion.

    His attribution of Israeli influence on US is so narrowly focused on the power of the Israeli lobby that one must wonder whether Professor Mearsheimer actually serves as controlled opposition to ringfence the debate over Jewish power in the US.

     

    The Deep Culture reason that all English speaking Protestant based societies are philo-Semitic is Judaizing heresy, Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, becoming the religious/cultural movement that is the most important basis of Modern English culture. All things pro-Jewish are in the very marrow bone of Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture. To get rid of that Judaizing cultural power within all things WASP would be to kill WASP culture.

    You went WASP culture? Then you automatically get all things philo-Semitic. You fed up with all this? Then you must embrace a non-WASP culture and actively oppose things WASP, especially any of those things that snack of any imperialism.

    And White is not a culture.

    The West has undone itself by being saddled with incompetent minorities and high costs, while China does not have this problem. It is in fact homogenous, and a disciplined country as well, although deeply totalitarian socially. (Social credit scores, constant government drone surveillance of citizens, etc)

    Professor Mearsheimer suffers the same intellectual deficiency as the neocon hawks in the US establishment.

    No, he does not. He is immensely admired for speaking out against NATO expansion and being quite blunt about The Lobby, even more so today than when his article/book first came out (his co-author Monsieur Walt seemingly having disappeared). His views on China are of less interest because intelligent Americans don’t really “buy” that we are mortal enemies with China. That country is allowed to buy up huge swathes of American land, some useless Commerce secretary on occasion wrist-slaps Beijing with weak sanctions, our AI goons insist upon a merger of our industrial bases and essentially economy is dependent upon theirs.

    The term greater Israel is a distraction.

    Instead, ask these two questions:

    -1- What borders do indigenous Palestinian Jews and Christians need to protect the religious homelands of the native Palestinian religions of Christianity and Judaism?

    -2- What borders do indigenous Palestinian Christians and Jews need to physically protect themselves from the violence perpetrated by the followers of the Anti-Christ Muhammad?

    The 1922 international law borders largely function for both. They do need to be amended a bit for #2. International law from 1922 did not accurately anticipate the later senseless Muslim aggression from the north. Some additional land is needed for defensive purposes. However, there is no desire to attempt to take Damascus or Beirut.

    Tragically, international law was violated in the 1940's to reduce Palestinian Christian and Jewish territory from 23% of the land down to ~13%.

    The attempt to divide the Christian and Jewish city of Jerusalem has led to strife. Would Islam accept the division of Mecca? Or a Jewish and Christian waqf restricting Quranic of rituals at the Kaaba? It is self evidently absurd to demand Jews and Christians make sacrifices that other religious would refuse.

    Of particular interest to Christians, such as myself, is the abuse and ethnic cleansing of Christians from Bethlehem. The holy city of Christianity was stolen by Islam when 1922 international law was broken in 1940's. It is now only ~10% Christian. The local Muslim occupying authority under Abbas cancels Christmas celebrations, now two years in a row. (1)

    It is long past time for 1,400+ years of Muslim settlement, colonization, and occupation to end. Worship of the Persian Gulf prophet, the Muhammad the Occupier, is inherently foreign to Palestine. Islamists need a Right of Religious Return to leave non-Muslim Palestine and emigrate to authentic Muslim lands.

    Why do Muslims insist on serving as camp guards keeping there coreligionists trapped in squalor? Is there not supposed to be a Pillar of Charity?

    Trump says things to shape outcomes. There never was a literal proposal to make Gaza part of the U.S. Of course not. What did the statement achieve? -- It opened the door to a serious discussion about, "What comes next?"

    Repeating the same failure would simply pave the groundwork for another genocidal October 7 attack. Clearly a different path must be found.

    Iranian Hamas wrecked the Gaza aquifer by over use, stealing pipe to make rockets, etc. The water supply was degrading under the demands of ~2.5 Million before the Islam started the current fight. There is no way it can support the projected 4 Million population by 2050. "How much fresh water will be available?"

    The UNRWA dole is ending. Bodies like the ICC are laughable and impotent, so any judgement to the contrary would be ignored. Thus another key question is, "How will the Gaza economy work?"

    The world needs to see a Gaza plan from the larger community of Islamic nations. There are many possibilities for Muslims to continue, possibly even thrive, if the population is 500-750K. I have yet to hear anything even vaguely credible for a population of 4+ Million.

    Will Islam commit to decades of massive transfer payments, for decades, to prop up an overpopulated Gaza? If not, some form of emigration is necessary to match numbers to natural resources.

    Will Islamists:

    • Continue to serve as camp guards keeping their coreligionists in squalor?
    • Facilitate honorable and compensated relocation to authentic Muslim lands?

    The latter makes much more sense, assuming the Pillar of Charity is real.
    ____

    I know these questions sound familiar to many readers here. I keep asking them, yet no one provides PRACTICAL and REALISTIC answers.

    Displacing Palestinian Jews to steal their land and water is impractical. The catastrophic losses suffered by Iranian Hamas and Iranian Hezbollah show that Islam lacks the military might for such a venture.

    Sending large numbers of Islamists to Christendom is also impractical. Europe is gearing up for mass remigration of existing unassimilable Muslims. The regime change in Syria opens the door to return millions.

    The term greater Israel is a distraction.

    Instead, ask these two questions:

    -1- What borders do indigenous Palestinian Jews and Christians need to protect the religious homelands of the native Palestinian religions of Christianity and Judaism?

    -2- What borders do indigenous Palestinian Christians and Jews need to physically protect themselves from the violence perpetrated by the followers of the Anti-Christ Muhammad?

    The 1922 international law borders largely function for both. They do need to be amended a bit for #2. International law from 1922 did not accurately anticipate the later senseless Muslim aggression from the north. Some additional land is needed for defensive purposes. However, there is no desire to attempt to take Damascus or Beirut.

    Tragically, international law was violated in the 1940's to reduce Palestinian Christian and Jewish territory from 23% of the land down to ~13%.

    The attempt to divide the Christian and Jewish city of Jerusalem has led to strife. Would Islam accept the division of Mecca? Or a Jewish and Christian waqf restricting Quranic of rituals at the Kaaba? It is self evidently absurd to demand Jews and Christians make sacrifices that other religious would refuse.

    Of particular interest to Christians, such as myself, is the abuse and ethnic cleansing of Christians from Bethlehem. The holy city of Christianity was stolen by Islam when 1922 international law was broken in 1940's. It is now only ~10% Christian. The local Muslim occupying authority under Abbas cancels Christmas celebrations, now two years in a row. (1)

    It is long past time for 1,400+ years of Muslim settlement, colonization, and occupation to end. Worship of the Persian Gulf prophet, the Muhammad the Occupier, is inherently foreign to Palestine. Islamists need a Right of Religious Return to leave non-Muslim Palestine and emigrate to authentic Muslim lands.

    Why do Muslims insist on serving as camp guards keeping there coreligionists trapped in squalor? Is there not supposed to be a Pillar of Charity?

    JESUS CHRIST WAS LIKE CHE GUEVARA AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH REALLY MEANS A COMMUNIST WORLD SOCIETY WITHOUT MONEY, WITHOUT BORDERS, WITHOUT NATION-STATES, WITHOUT RULERS AND RULED, A KINGDOM OF WEALTH AND LUXURIES FOR ALL HUMANS !!

    A crucial question in Christian-anarchist contexts is of course how the life and work of Jesus are judged. In general, Jesus is understood in this discourse as a social rebel and non-violent revolutionary - in the sense that he sought a fundamental upheaval of the situation - whose message is still relevant today and whose political maxims can best be described as "anarchistic" under today's circumstances. Countless authors and theologians (who did not necessarily have anarchist approaches) have repeatedly and emphatically pointed to this "political Jesus" and his revolutionary message. The theologian John Howard Yoder, for example, speaks of Jesus as "a model for radical political action" and goes on to say that although Jesus "was not the violent liberator that some had expected," he saw himself as a liberator and used the political language that was expected of him. He "annoyed Herod and the Sadducees, who controlled local politics," but did not resort to "the violence of the state or of war." He and the community he left behind stood for "political innovations" such as "love of enemies" and "elevation of the marginalized." The French Tolstoyan Georges Lechartier ultimately sums up his Christian-anarchist convictions succinctly when he says: "The true founder of anarchy was Jesus Christ and [...] the first anarchist association was that of the apostles." No one, according to another anarchist, had "penetrated so radically to the root of all evil," no one had "made such revolutionary demands" as Christ. Jesus "appears as a rebel and insurrectionist towards all the authorities of this world; his teaching, this silent teaching of love and non-violence, is interpreted with sure instinct by the great and powerful as rebellion and high treason." Even in the anarchist literature of the Spanish Civil War, "the positive portrayals of Christ predominate" due to his "personal actions and characteristics, which in the eyes of many authors make him an anarchist himself, or at least an early fighter for social justice: his solidarity with the socially outcasts, the expulsion of the merchants [= capitalists] from the temple, his provocations of the authorities, his rejection of wealth, etc."

    But can such interpretations and statements actually be derived from the Bible or from theological and/or historical findings about Jesus, or are they merely irrelevant projections without a legitimate basis? Without a doubt, it can at least be stated that the New Testament is sometimes quite clear when it comes to outlining the ideal social order whose coming Jesus predicted. For example, Matthew says: "Then Jesus called them to him and said, 'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones abuse their power over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'"

    According to the Bible, the early Christian communities, following such teachings, organized their communities in a way that would certainly seem sympathetic to anarchists, as can be read in the Acts of the Apostles, for example. It says, among other things: "And all who believed formed a community and had everything in common. They sold their belongings and gave to each one as much as he had need of." Or: "The community of believers was of one heart and soul. No one called anything he had his own, but they had everything in common." It is evident that the Gospels are generally negative about material wealth, about the rich and the injustices that this brings about. Jesus, who is known to have often expressed himself in parables and metaphors, spoke so clearly and unambiguously on hardly any other topic.

    The Kingdom of God
    Some theorists also see the way in which Jesus resisted the Roman occupation and the local rulers of his time, and the options he did not consider, as an indication that the reference to anarchism appears legitimate. He refused to cooperate with the Roman occupying power and accept the resulting financial advantages, as was the case with the Sadducees. He also refused to strive for reforms in the existing, oppressive system, as the Pharisees did. Nor did he completely isolate himself from the society he considered misguided in order to be able to lead a "pure" life apart from it, as the Essenes did. And last but not least, he also rejected the armed revolutionary struggle propagated by the Jewish resistance fighters of the Zealots. Jesus strove for a complete overthrow of the prevailing conditions and an egalitarian social order, and tried to achieve this exclusively by means of radical and consistent non-violence. He did all this with the aim of pointing out to all people the possibility open to them of entering the "Kingdom of God" here and now. (...) Dave Andrews finds examples in the Old Testament (in this case 1 Sam 8:4-22) of a supposedly critical character of God: "He is a tireless opponent of a political system that governs from top to bottom, is centralized and disempowers people, especially those at the bottom of society. And he warns the people of Israel against returning to the form of government that they left behind in Egypt, because otherwise people would become 'slaves'." For Ammon Hennacy, God is "not an authority that I obey like a monarch, but a principle of good, as set out by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount." Similarities to Hennacy can be seen here with the understanding of God of the (Marxist-oriented) Mexican liberation theologian José Porfirio Miranda, who was of the opinion that God is justice and vice versa. Miranda did not understand God as a “being” of any kind, but as an ethical commandment for justice.

    Compare DeepSeek to OpenAI. The latter is closed and proprietary, in spite of its name. China, the 'police state', takes the free (as in freedom) route. Stallman was essentially correct in these matters, pushing the idea that information 'wants to be free'.

    Ah yes, the beloved Western stereotype of the Asian: unable to create, only improve others' creations.

    In fact, the cultural penchant for the Japanese and Korean peoples to not create but focus on improvement was conditioned by living for millennia next to a supremely creative civilization, the Chinese. Since the Bronze Age, the Chinese would conceive, create and implement in all areas: pre-industrial technology, philosophy, architecture, fashion; everything really. Neighbors would emulate (copy), localize and when possible, improve upon the Chinese creation - such improvements then taken by the Chinese themselves and iterated further, all while still creating new concepts.

    What ever could have come out of Japan, or Korea (and note I like these cultures), was thought of and done, on a vastly larger scale, in China. Since neither the Japanese nor Koreans (nor Mongolians, Manchurians, Tibetans or Asian Turks) could go head to head in creation versus China, they specialized in the niches of emulation and improvement.

    The stereotype of the Asian is that they "perfect", never "innovate". Give an Asian a crossbow, and he will make a better crossbow, pushing a known concept to its limit. Give a European a crossbow and eventually, he will develop a gunpowder weapon, something the Asian, ever averse to risk (as per stereotype) would never consider.

    But that is a funny stereotype, considering who actually developed gunpowder weaponry first in history. IMHO, the modern Western exposure to Japan and Korea have conditioned us to think all Asians are like them. Iterative, improvers not inventors, risk averse.

    But the Chinese are very different indeed, if you look just a nanometer under the color of the skin.
