all they've done is create enemies of EVERYBODY in the Middle East

A lot of White looking Jews for a Semitic race that supposedly never intermarried.

European (Ashkenazi) Jews are indeed somewhat European in origin.

The latest scientifically supportable theory is that about 300 Jews moved north from Italy into the Rhein Valley around 800 AD for commercial reasons, converted some local European women because there were not enough women in the group, but since then mostly married only among themselves. They kept the German dialect, now called Yiddish, even after expanding into Eastern Europe by the millions - all of them descendants of those original 300 or so people.

You can very clearly see the inbreeding in 23andme results. Ashkenazi Jews are all very closely related to each other, pretty much 2nd or 3rd cousins. So if you're at all Jewish, most of your 23andme matches are Jews you've never heard of, because they are in fact all pretty closely related to you.

Some Sephardic and Greek Jews also moved up into Eastern Europe later, but I don't think it was all that many.

What's amazing is you believe media reports. That's what's astounding.

Here - can you spot what is wrong with this "news" report?

Does that set off any alarm bells for you? Nobody in our "news" media called out that bullshit, NOT THEY WOULD HAVE TO, if anybody was capable of thinking. Are you capable of thinking?

What's wrong with that "news" segment? Can you spot it. One may not be well known, but is entirely damning, the other is quite obvious to me at least. What's wrong with that?

This BULLSHIT shows up in NATIONAL NEWS and nobody in our "news" system calls them out on it, even when it's blatantly obvious propaganda. It's embarrassing and I'm no longer of the mindset of "OK, here's what you missed you see..." - I'm done with that. Yo're a fucking idiot to listen to these assholes. I've been patient for 20 years, gently explaining why it's propaganda, now at this point, if you don't recognize it's propaganda, you're a fucking retard.

It makes sense because Muslims are the traditional enemies of the West, and the left hates the West.

WE are primarily the enemies of Muslims because Israel is an insert into Muslim territory and have been exporting the problem THEY created to multiple Middle Eastern countries for 75 years coupled with hostility, war, and other belligerence.

Who gives a fuck? They were too weak to hold their own territory (supposedly) and now across an ocean and we're expected to care. Fuck them all. Let them all die. When does this stop that we give a flying fuck about anything across an ocean with no enemy that can attack us? WTF?

We are involved because we facilitated the agreement* by which Israel gave up the Sinai Peninsula they captured after kicking Egypt's (and Soviet's) ass in 1967 and 1973. This is why both Israel and Egypt are getting yearly security assistance from the US.

I'm surprised you don't know any of that.

Link boy. So what link is valid and not valid? I agree that video is bull shit, but that's CNN. What's real and fake anymore?

I've said it. If I don't see it or personally know someone that witnessed it, it didn't happen. For example, this literally happened 30 minutes ago. My wife was almost in an accident on the highway down to St. Louis. She was the first to call 911. That happened. If I saw it in the news and don't know anyone there I'm at the point of fuck it, it didn't happen. It's bull shit. This is the world we're living in.

We're living in a world where users here think filing paper tax returns and getting a paper check keeps them their privacy. They drive a car and think their face isn't recognized. I really don't think anyone here realizes how 1984'd you all are.

Travel helps because you can see the zombies. Don't confront them, just be aware of them. Don't get in arguments. I think a lot of you guys here need to get out of the house more in a non-work capacity.

Anything on television should be ignored. Anybody speaking that is regularly on television should be ignored. That is not to say everything on television is garbage, just so much of it is, it's not worth going through. Media reports from "establishment sources" should be suspect and any references to "anonymous sources" should be treated as fabricated. Sources of information taken from anybody from the intelligence agencies should at least be thoroughly investigated, and they will likely be false. Sources that will not allow you to easily verify what they report should be treated with healthy suspicion although you can go through the work to verify them.

WookieMan says

I think I do. The problem is that it's going to get worse if people refuse to wake up. It really is trivial to record every single word you say on a phone and every email you send, therefore it's done. We have no privacy.

I tried to warn people against Facebook and Twitter over 10 years ago, it just fell on just deaf ears. I tried to warn people YouTube was engaging in political censorship, nobody believed it. 20 years ago I tried to point out media was bullshit, well the people who hated George W. Bush believed it was true for Fox, but not CNN, PBS, NPR, etc. People are trapped in a false dichotomy. In 2014, if I said Obama was doing a bad job, I must have loved Bush, and if I said Bush fucked up, I must have loved Obama. It was RARE to find somebody that understood I actually thought both people were garbage.

There is information on the Internet, everything is here, HOWEVER you have to learn to recognize what is likely to be false. Over time you can eliminate bad players and just ignore them (I've done that with the entire so called mainstream media), and then you can start eliminating bad actors in the "alternative media". You have to compile facts, check their statements, and basically vet them one at a time looking not for errors, but dishonesty. People make legitimate errors in both facts and reasoning. Jimmy Dore is kind of a moron when it comes to economics, but he's right about foreign policy and he's finally realized we don't have a republic, and this is a uniparty.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the truth never has a contradiction in it. You will not have to contend with cognitive dissonance if you are reading the truth. You will if you're listening to propaganda - for example, we have mostly peaceful protests, but January 6th was an insurrection. That requires double think to believe both those. Eliminate one of them. One can decide there was peaceful protests (mostly) and there was no insurrection or vice versa. At least you're 1/2 way there. You'll eliminate the other in time when you find something contradicting that belief. Keep doing this until you don't experience cognitive dissonance at all. It will take years. You have to be diligent in recognizing you are experiencing cognitive dissonance and immediately start out eliminating one of your beliefs. You'll forget to do it otherwise, cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable, people tend to try to ignore it.

Worrying about cognitive dissonance while dismissing the God who both created and yet defies all logic is rich. Even for Richard Wicks. Before you worry about dismissing certain beliefs, everyone better double check that they haven’t dismissed the most important truths.

I know of it. I don't care. People make commitments all the time called marriage and then bail 50% of the time. Deals are constantly broken. People cheat and lie to each other. Fuck them. We have no obligation to Isreal or Gaza or Ukraine. Fuck 'em. All of it is retardation to the extreme.

The New York Times ran a swelling story yesterday headlined, “Campus Protests Over Gaza Intensify Amid Pushback by Universities and Police.” You’ve probably been waiting impatiently for this development; and now, your waiting is over, the summer of protest finally begins! At least the kids are doing something, you know, productive.

And it’s spreading faster than gonorrhea during Spring Break. “Patient Zero” was Columbia University, which was taken in the rear, by surprise, and has now been occupied so fully and so intensely that the school recently canceled all in-person classes through year’s end.

Columbia’s massive pro-Palestine protest is well-organized and well-funded. At Columbia, and at most of the subsequent occupations, the protestors arrived on campus outfitted with expensive tents and camping supplies, since they clearly intend to hang for around a long time...

This protest season sort of blends Occupy Wall Street with Seattle’s CHAZ/CHOP, and a stationary version of George Floyd’s “covid-immune” parades and protests during 2020’s Summer of Love. Masks appear optional this time and the dress code is grunge chic. Riots TBA.

Not all states are rolling over like pleasant pussycats this time. Some learned their lessons last election season. Texas quickly cleared University of Austin’s campus, with jackbooted anti-protestors cracking a few skulls full of mush, and de-squatting the tent-bearing occupiers who were dashing toward the school’s commons area. At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the police moved in just before lunchtime yesterday to shove off an expanding encampment of about 100 protesters preparing to squat amidst the formerly-peaceful center of campus, which USC apparently required for other, non-protest purposes.

Whomever is behind this national rampage hasn’t yet tried setting up any tent cities in Florida, and I suspect it won’t go well for them if they are dumb enough to try it.

But in all the predictable locales, stinky protestor tent cities are cropping up like diseased daisies after a nuclear meltdown. At Harvard, woke school administrators pretended to stop it, but quickly raised their flabby, pale, limp arms in useless surrender—what, after all, can they really do at the end of the long protest day?

True though.

There is no politician brave enough to stay that we should not fund Israel at all.

Never heard of West and Stein.

The Left’s Hamas Problem

How the Right can turn the pro-Palestine encampments into a disaster for Democrats

The pro-Palestine encampment drama could prove a disaster for the Left. Let me explain why, and how the Right can exploit it.

Most Americans do not understand the Israel-Palestine conflict or how it relates to the United States, but for good reason, most support Israel over Hamas. In this context, left-wing protestors will not be able to manipulate the emotions of sympathy and guilt on a mass scale, as they did with George Floyd. Ultimately, the spectacle of masked Antifa-style protestors occupying campuses over a foreign conflict and supporting Hamas-style “decolonization” does not offer a clear and significant upside.

But there is a significant potential downside.

This encampment escalation divides the Left, alienates influential supporters, and creates a sense of chaos that will move people against it. The correct response from the Right is to create the conditions for these protests to flourish in blue cities and campuses, while preventing them in red cities and campuses. If these protests become more volatile and go all the way to the Democratic Convention in Chicago, we could see a 1968 scenario. That didn’t work out too well for the Democrats.

In other words: make the Left own its pro-Hamas faction, or, alternatively, force the Left to deal with it – by breaking up the encampments, punishing wrongdoers, and restoring order, at whatever political cost this may exact. Let Ivy League presidents discover the consequences of their actions (or inactions)—and gently increase pressure from the outside.

If the Right can successfully keep order in its regions, as Florida governor Ron DeSantis has done so far, and keep the focus on the disorder overrunning left-wing jurisdictions – culminating, perhaps, in coalitional discord at the Democratic convention – it will move public opinion in our direction. One path to success in politics, after all, is shifting problems to your opponents—and capitalizing on them.

They hate gay people therefore it's morally right to bomb their apartment buildings and drive them out of their land?

I don't wish for peace and an end to conflict there because I like Hamas. It's purely a principle. It's based exclusively in that I think it is wrong to engage in endless violence, for anybody to do that.

That's not the point. The pic shows the irony of LGBT types that give support to a group that would exterminate them.

They don't care that some, many, even all the Palestinians hate them, and they don't. Palestinians don't throw homosexuals off from roofs or execute them. That's happened I believe in Saudi Arabia. The Taliban treats homosexuality very negatively.

But usually they are not targeted because they are GAY, they are targeted because they are PEDOPHILES.

You're never told that in the West are you?

This war has been going on since 1948 and I know that every stop has been pulled out to brainwash the population into supporting ANYTHING Israel does and anything the United States does. When we were in Afghanistan, a constant reason given to stay was for "women's right", and "democracy". Our government doesn't give a shit about that and if it did, explain the US' partnership with Saudi Arabia?

Yet we constantly talk about this obvious bullshit. They are associating homosexuals and LGBTQ nonsense to discredit ANYBODY, like me, that opposes the conflict. You see this over, and over, and over again. You still fall for it. Why can't you see the pattern?

NEVER do we talk about the actual issues, ever. Always it's a distraction of some sort.

Israel wants an excuse to remove the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza. Now if they can get away by killing them all, they'll do it, if they can get them to go into Egypt, fine, if they can force European nations to take them in, fine. They don't care. That's what is happening. It has nothing to do with the LGBTQ bullshit that is pushed here.

Don't you remember our propaganda floating the idea of Israel making agreements with European nations to export the Gaza population to? Must be nice to have a memory that only goes back 2 days.
