"The claim that Jesus is a Jew has indeed been hijacked and used for pro-Israel propaganda, which has dangerous implications—theologically, historically, geopolitically—and it’s why we have to define very clearly what is meant by 'Jew'." (My latest—link in replies)

Love Tucker Carlson like an older brother, or trusted friend. It’s not fair that in all the mainstream media the job of being the voice of reason - the nations conscience - should fall on his shoulders alone. Where are all the other mainstream journalists on the subject of moral standards? Dubiously absent - that’s where. Here he is speaking of the obvious insanity (and depravity) behind the suggestion of the US government staging a public, live streamed execution. Pete Hegseth (complete retarded cunt that he is) is stating that a paraplegic man, bound and blindfolded will be sh0t 2 dæth on live stream. Hegseth, a man with so many skeletons in his closet that he doesn’t even have room for a jacket. This man must be so compromised it’s beyond credulous, yet here he is talking as a man with justice and moral right on his side. Of course, the condemned man is guilty of an atrocious act, and there is no doubt that he deserves the harshest possible penalty man can hand down (the extent of that is an entirely different debate). But to gloat on handing out any punishment is another matter, let alone capital punishment. Public executions are the beginning of a descent into a culture of blood lust. This is Rome feeding Christians to the lions for sport and public entertainment. It’s the beginning of the fall of our western civilisation. Anyone who has studied history, especially that of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia knows where that road leads - it leads to terror. For a long time anyone with only a vague understanding of recent history can see that there is a Bolshevik element in western politics. Cultural Marxism, critical race and gender theory, radical feminism (all feminism actually - sorry, but it’s true), LGBTQ militancy, DEI; they’re all out of the communist playbook. And communism in practice - that which we’ve seen anyway, in the hands of the Bolsheviks (and Moa, but that’s slightly more complex, as he was also driven by the same shadowy cabal) was the most brutal, bloodthirsty, cruel and horrific spectacle the world has ever witnessed. And the fact that we all still hold the Nazi regime up as a warning from history, as to how barbaric the world can become is actually a testament to just how much control the Bolsheviks (and their successors) actual hold over our media, entertainment industries, academic institutions and publishing houses. Because - make no mistake - no regime has ever been as murderous as the Bolsheviks, and the Nazi regime didn’t even come close. But although we’ve felt the presence of Bolshevism for the last 10 years at least, no one suspected that it would actually be the neocons (the power currently behind Trump) who were the Bolsheviks incarnate. We all suspected that it was just the left - the progressive liberals - that were where the undertones of Bolshevism were emanating from. In actual fact the real Bolsheviks are deeply entrenched on both sides of the aisle, and in every single nation on earth. Charlie Kirk makes a great point here (and in hindsight it appears prophetic): they will use any means necessary to kill their dissenters, their enemies and just anyone who mildly represents an obstacle. How right he was. We should never - ever - let these monsters weaponise the death penalty. We are all in mortal danger. There is a war of ideas upon us. If we lose then the opposition will show no mercy, and we can expect the worst. Time to wake up everyone.

I missed that Chrystia Freeland has gone on from Canada's Deputy PM to serving the govt of Ukraine, the country where her real passion lies Freeland infamously led a standing ovation in parliament for a veteran of the Galicia SS – the same Nazi division her Ukrainian grandfather recruited for
Has Donald Trump fully turned his back on Ukraine? In part 2 of my conversation w/ former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister & longtime Ukraine advocate @cafreeland, we discuss America's recent policy decisions that seem to further alienate Kyiv:

Weird that Afleck understands this but Anthropic doesn't. Pope Leo gets it too.
Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling “Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word." "That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person." "But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”

A large group of faithful Moroccan Jews came to live in Palestine in the 19th century, long before the first Ashkenazi Zionist Congress (they were led by Rabbi David Ben Shimon). They built neighborhoods, institutions and synagogues, fought with no one, faced no resistance and had good relations with local Muslim and Christian communities. Formal Zionism never told their story: they were neither European nor belligerent, therefore unfit to serve as a Jewish example
Yehuda Halevy was an Arab Jew who arrived in Haifa in 1862 as a child from Morocco. He became a textile merchant in Haifa and was known by Palestinian Arab Muslims & Christians in the city as “Abu Kalima,” or “the man of his word.” The mufti of Haifa even mentioned Halevy in one of his Friday sermons as a model of loyalty and good virtues. Arab notables also deposited their cash and jewelry with him given his trustworthy reputation. This was a time before Zionism shattered relations between Arab Jews and Arab Muslim & Christians in Ottoman Palestine. source: scholarlypublishingcollectiv…

Ambassador Thornhill, welcome to the team. I’m proud to have such a dedicated leader join us as Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. Human trafficking is a grave human rights issue and a transnational crime exploiting men, women, and children for profit. We will continue to go after traffickers, protect survivors, and deliver justice for the American people.

Rod Dreher just spoke at NatCon in Jerusalem alongside Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, who’s decreed that Israeli soldiers can rape their enemies, and Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli minister who just boasted that Israel is “cleansing” Southern Lebanon by blowing up scores of ancient villages This is what “mugged by reality” looks like
Waiting at gate at Tel Aviv airport to go back to US, checked my email. A reader of my Substack wrote this below. It's terrifying to me, but we have to know this is real, so we can fight it. I'm a 59-year-old Gen Xer; v. few people my age & older have any idea this is going on.

I don’t buy that this guy is really Epstein, but there’s definitely something weird going on here.
I have JUST RETURNED FROM ISRAEL, where I underwent a BRAND NEW DNA TEST at the world-renowned BioGenesis Laboratory in Tel Aviv. The technology in Israel is DECADES ahead of what we have here in the United States. Their scientists are doing things our so-called “experts” in Florida could only DREAM of. And here’s the best part: THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS ABSOLUTELY NO JURISDICTION OVER THIS TEST. They can’t interfere. They can’t manipulate the results. And they certainly can’t silence me this time. The political establishment has been DESPERATE to derail my campaign for Mayor of Palm Beach. They know what happens if the truth finally comes out!

I tend to ignore most of the gender wars discourse on this site, because a lot of it is surely a psy-op of sorts meant to antagonize men and women against each other, but @ComicDaveSmith here gives a sensible, measured view on the Cornell 7 affair: youtu.be/QJRTWEyvnIw?si=o18O…

On October 7th, the world was told Hamas beheaded babies and out them in ovens. That was false. We were not told of many true cases where civilians were spared. I've compiled, for the first time, testimony from 26 cases where Hamas fighters spared civilians, citing orders to do so. The lie was used to justify Israel's slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians since.

Imagine if in the run-up to the 2004 election, George Bush's White House website posted a video of the planes hitting the two towers reenacted with lego toys. Yet Israel-supporters will still defend this cynical and crass exploitation of a national tragedy.
Terrorism is Not a Game. Remember October 7th.

In 2012, Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone, collaborating with historian Peter Kuznick, released his project The Untold History of the United States, a 12-part documentary miniseries and companion book, which mostly cover the ascent and reign of American global imperial hegemony. One episode of the miniseries is dedicated entirely to the atomic bomb and presents an alternate account that refutes the myths told in conventional history books. According to Stone and Kuznick, Japan's defeat was becoming increasingly apparent by the end of 1944. As early as February of the following year, Prince Konoe wrote to Emperor Hirohito stating, "Japan's defeat is inevitable." The Japanese foreign ministry sought out channels for mediating surrender terms, first via the Vatican, and then via the Soviet Union. Top US officials—including President Truman—were aware of these "Japanese maneuverings for peace."

Many among the American military’s top brass considered the bombs “morally reprehensible, militarily unnecessary, or both.”
TUCKER: Use of NUKES… ever justified? JACOB REES-MOGG: Justified in Hiroshima and Nagasaki… UNQUESTIONABLY T: Kill people who did nothing wrong? J: Not talking about people who did nothing wrong T: Crowded cities not responsible for war…women, children incinerated
