From my new column in Taki’s Magazine:

UCLA’s Mostly Peaceful Counterprotest

Steve Sailer
May 15, 2024

In the most violent episode so far in the vastly publicized campus protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, at the end of April a goon squad of nationalist whites attacked the encampment of diverse UCLA students, while police stood back and let the militia whale on the pro-Palestinian demonstrators for a few hours. Finally, the cops got between the protesters and the attacking counterprotesters, then let the instigators go. The next night the police dismantled the encampment and arrested over 200 anti-Israel activists.

In an era when the Establishment obsesses over right-wing violence—last year, for example, President Biden declared, “White supremacy…is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland”—one might think that the brawl at UCLA would by now be almost as exhaustively reported as January 6th or Charlottesville. But instead, you have to read news accounts closely to even guess who the hard men at UCLA were.

If the right-wing mob had been wearing Make America Great Again baseball caps, shouting “Christ is King,” and singing Russian songs about crushing Ukrainians, the struggle on the UCLA quad would be the biggest news story of the year.

Indeed, The New York Times and Washington Post have published lengthy investigative pieces demonstrating conclusively that outside agitators instigated the night of violence in front of UCLA’s Royce Hall.

Yet, both newspapers have been extremely reticent about the key question: Who were these far-right thugs?

Read the whole thing there.

  1. According to a 2015 estimate by the Israeli-American Council, more than 250,000 Israelis live in Los Angeles…

    When asked why his L.A. Kings weren’t drawing better, what with 800,000 Canadians lving in Southern California, Jack Kent Cooke said they were there because they hate hockey. There’s got to be a similar joke in this situation as well. They like shellfish?

    Israeli immigrants in Los Angeles tend to be more blue-collar and less genteel than Ellis Island-descended Jewish-Americans.

    In Emma Lazarus’s day, Castle Garden* Jews tended to be “more blue-collar and less genteel” than her Truro-descended Sephardic Jewish-Americans. She was simultaneously horrified by and compassionate toward them. Now if our own pseudo-élite could feel the same way about West Virginians and Kentuckians, we wouldn’t need the likes of J.D. Vance.

  2. Reading the Taki piece in its entirety, you seem remarkably concerned to (rather unconvincingly) argue that the counter-demonstration was just a spontaneous demonstration of patriotic zeal on the part of some of Los Angeles’ Israelis. Or something.

    I suspect that in this case, you’re afraid of where your own observations might lead you. I don’t blame you — but it is noticeable. The ‘Dancing Israelis’ were just enthusiastic citizens? That’s why the FBI detained them for eleven weeks?

  3. “The song ends with what sounds like a call for the Israel Defense Forces to murder several pretty female celebrities in the West who are outspokenly pro-Palestinian”

    Ironically, the song omitted perhaps one of the most famous celebrities in the West to have been pro-Palestinian for about half a century now. Couldn’t miss this specific individual, as they were the go-to in the MSM whenever they wanted shock quotes that favored the Palestinians.

    I withhold the name here, but for Steve, the answer to the famous person’s identity should be obvious.

    Hint: the person is a well noted thespian.

    In the words of Forest Gump: That’s all I have to say about that.

  4. Contra your theory, I think that Israel’s wholesale and frequently ham-fisted attempts at intimidation, subversion, espionage, and even assassination (Iran, Jordan, the Gulf Emirates, Norway) are controlled by the state. They reflect a culture of impunity.

    Pretty much no matter what her agents do, if they can just get back to Israel, they’re safe personally. As to consequences for Israel as a whole, it’s been forty years since we dared to seriously object to anything at all, and moreover, we protect her from any consequences the rest of the world might like to impose.

    She needn’t be careful. Nothing bad will happen.

    Witness the attacks on the demonstrators. As you noted, the American media couldn’t even bring themselves to clearly say the thugs were Israeli. Why shouldn’t Israel engage in such activity? We won’t protest.

  5. Wasn’t this inevitable? It was unlikely that the coalition of the fringes wouldn’t eventually start shooting each other. By promoting Hamas the left is making the Hitler mistake (don’t alienate and scare the crap out of the smartest people who could be on your side). Although there are still some Jews who support Hamas like Bernie Sanders or Soros, many of the most successful have finally had their eyes opened.

  6. Perhaps instead, Israeli Jews abroad, who tend to be staunchly patriotic, might be on the lookout for ways to bring themselves to the grateful attention of the Israeli intelligence community.

    So patriotic they have left to make their life in another country!

    What is it about all these people that they just can’t keep running off to someone else’s nation?

    And seriously, if some other people simply does it better, has made a better nation than your own and you’d like to join, and they let you join … then you throw in with them, your loyalty goes to the people you have joined, their interests. Or … you suck.

    If your loyalty is not with the people of the nation you are in–leave. Go back where you came from.

    Re the Gone Golfing cap for sale at Passage Press, here’s a cautionary tale if the photo was not taken by Steve:

    https://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/

    TL;DR version: Last year, I was threatened with a lawsuit over the pixel art album cover for Kind of Bloop. Despite my firm belief that I was legally in the right, I settled out of court to cut my losses. This ordeal was very nerve-wracking for me and my family, and I’ve had trouble writing about it publicly until now….

    In February 2010, I was contacted by attorneys representing famed New York photographer Jay Maisel, the photographer who shot the original photo of Miles Davis used for the cover of Kind of Blue.

    In their demand letter, they alleged that I was infringing on Maisel’s copyright by using the illustration on the album and elsewhere, as well as using the original cover in a “thank you” video I made for the album’s release. In compensation, they were seeking “either statutory damages up to $150,000 for each infringement at the jury’s discretion and reasonable attorneys fees or actual damages and all profits attributed to the unlicensed use of his photograph, and $25,000 for Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) violations.”

    After seven months of legal wrangling, we reached a settlement. Last September, I paid Maisel a sum of $32,500 and I’m unable to use the artwork again. (On the plus side, if you have a copy, it’s now a collector’s item!) I’m not exactly thrilled with this outcome, but I’m relieved it’s over.

  8. Yet, both newspapers have been extremely reticent about the key question: Who were these far-right thugs?

    Jews are victims. Eternally innocent victims, never perps.

    There are whole libraries full of blather on “anti-Semitism” as if it’s some weird pathogen cooked up in a lab that other people just somehow catch and the poor innocent Jews must suffer with. The whole point of creating their special “anti-Semitism” tag is propagate this narrative.

    The obvious truth that Jews are an ethnic group, which–like all others–has particular and noticeable behavior patterns, some of which are annoying and damaging to other people can not be noticed. The bad people are oppressive white gentiles, oppressively oppressing soulful minorities. Not Jews.

    Jews as perps, troublemakers? What are you some kind of Nazi?

  9. Ralph L says:

    Still no reports of injuries, so how peaceful was the riot?

    I recall complaints that LAPD didn’t act quickly when the Rodney King and ’65 Watts riots began, leading to more carnage than necessary. Have they learned nothing in 60 years, or were they in on it?

    I was thinking “wale” was the correct verb, but you get a wale on your skin when someone whales on you. Stupid language.

    Yep. The salient thing about the great wave Ashkenazi is not really their generational rise–that’s impressive, but they’re a smart bunch overall and America was a very rich country ergo full of opportunity. Rather it is their sneering contempt for the regular Americans, their lack of noblesse oblige, lack of loyalty to the actual people who built our nation that took them in and allowed them such prosperity. Rather than “let’s pitch in and really make America great!” the motto of these 2nd and 3rd generation has been “these hicks suck!”, “tear this bitch down!”.

    If you made a pictorial dictionary, “ingratitude” would be illustrated with a picture of American Jew.

  11. Here’s the most fascinating part of the article.

    https://www.takimag.com/article/uclas-mostly-peaceful-counterprotest/

    Israeli immigrants in Los Angeles tend to be more blue-collar and less genteel than Ellis Island-descended Jewish-Americans.

    Interestingly, Israeli new arrivals tend to gravitate toward those trades, such as locksmith, where they might conceivably stumble upon some intelligence that, they hope, Mossad might someday find useful. This is not to assert that Israeli spy services conspire to plant James Bond-like secret agents in low-level trades overseas. Perhaps instead, Israeli Jews abroad, who tend to be staunchly patriotic, might be on the lookout for ways to bring themselves to the grateful attention of the Israeli intelligence community.

    This might help explain otherwise puzzling stories such as the dancing Israelis on 9/11 who were working as movers in an Arab neighborhood in New Jersey. And then there’s the well-documented but still mysterious phenomenon of “Israeli art students” swarming into American office buildings and grabbing random papers off desks, as happened at the marketing research firm where I worked in Chicago in the late 20th century.

    Steve Sailer wrote a post on Israeli blackmail operations.

    https://www.unz.com/isteve/bamford-in-nyt-israels-nsa-scandal/

    Here’s a fascinating article called “Does Israel Have a Backdoor to US Intelligence?” I highly recommend reading it.

    https://www.takimag.com/article/does_israel_have_a_backdoor_to_us_intelligence_steve_sailer/

    In fact, according to Binney, the advanced analytical and data mining software the NSA had developed for both its worldwide and international eavesdropping operations was secretly passed to Israel by a mid-level employee, apparently with close connections to the country…. Binney now suspects that Israeli intelligence in turn passed the technology on to Israeli companies who operate in countries around the world, including the U.S. In return, the companies could act as extensions of Israeli intelligence and pass critical military, economic and diplomatic information back to them.

    Here’s a documentary on the spying operations of Israeli. The documentary discusses AmDocs, an Israeli telecommunications company with extensive operations in the USA.

    Here’s a summary of the documentary.

    Of note in this video (all four segments contained in one video):

    1. A highly placed US investigator states, “evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.” This statement suggests that such evidence must exist, since there would be no need for classification if nothing had been found.

    2. American terrorism investigators fear certain suspects in the September 11 attacks may have managed to stay ahead of them, by knowing who and when investigators are calling on the telephone; information provided by an Israeli-owned (and IDF funded) telephone company at which several of the arrested Israeli 9/11 suspects worked.

    3. It is revealed that the wiretapping capability that is permanently built into your telephone is built, installed, and maintained by yet another Israeli owned company and that this equipment is suspected of having a “back door” which allows the Mossad to use the same equipment to wiretap any telephone in America by remote control.

    4. The availability of information on police phone calls resulted in the collapse of an investigation of a drug and fraud crime ring with Israeli connections. Investigators traced the information, which included calls to police investigators’ beepers, to Amdocs.

    I also wrote an explanation of how Israel sexually blackmails American leaders. Read it here. https://www.unz.com/isteve/an-old-strategy-bears-new-fruit/#comment-4788190

    This is how the USA became a colony of Israel.

  13. An aspect of the incident conspicuously left unaddressed in Mr. Sailer’s article is the police response.

    Compare Wyatt Reed’s “UCLA attackers exposed: meet the violent Zionist agitators LA police haven’t arrested” published May 13 at thegrayzone.com, which reports that the police didn’t intervene for several hours. The Reed article also highlights a dossier compiled by some of the protesters, with names, pictures, and background information on several attackers; none, reportedly, had been charged by the time of publication. Time may tell a different story, but for now the Establishment response seems Noticeably different than the lawfare torching of marchers in Charlottesville or the nationwide (selective) manhunt for people associated with “J6.”

    Dissent and free speech are under attack. Meanwhile, “The World’s Greatest Deliberative Body” is goosepooping an Antisemitism Awareness Act.

    Why are Mr. Sailer and the rest of the Diffident Right that dominates TUR’s author roster utterly peepless?

    Give ’em time.

    The Jews go through Booms and Busts. It’s good for their evolution. The wealthy instigators escape while the innocent poor are murdered for their sins.

    It’s a complicated process and as God explained to Abraham the first Great Sifting would take place in the 430 years of Egyptian Exile (instigated by Joseph’s overreaching before being brought to a close by Moses’ underreaching).

    For my own part, I introduced my audience to the thought of the great Ben Hecht yesterday only for a Karen maggot to emerge with a call to the (Egyptian!) cops.

    Egypt is short on Americans but apparently the Karens have begun their infestation here as 🇺🇸 exports its surplus unhappy women to the farthest reaches of rhe globe.

    As I’ve pointed out before, the Israelification of the US since 9/11 and the neocon coup have become more and more apparent. The most serious element being that the US can’t be negotiated with anymore, like Israel. The idea of the “mad dog” mentality is now taken as normal. But what happens when the mad dog runs into a madder, more desperate and most crucially, stronger dog?

    Since that time the police in the US have been trained in Israel in “counter-terrorism” often with federal funds and sometimes by private money from Jewish oligarchs. But in practice the Israeli police don’t really do 24 style CTU stuff, they just generally act as occupying forces.

    Now that we have large protests against Israel they are suddenly acting a lot like Israeli police in addition to just looking like them.

    It’s apparent in Europe too. Police used to dress like police and now they’re dressing more and more like jackbooted Israeli “police”.

    We’ve seen it in things like using drones to assassinate leaders of groups nonchalantly. Trump even casually killed a high-ranking part of the Iranian military who was also a hugely popular political figure among the general public in Iran, Soleimani. Killing the leadership of your enemy has since ancient times be regarded as foolish at best but savage at worst, a perfect action to perpetuate conflict and make negotiations impossible. Even worse when for the US there is no reason for Iran to be an enemy. The policy used with Iran has worked out so well with the now nuclear armed North Korea.

    Prior to the neocon coup the US knew this too. To do it inside another country was even crazier. The Israelis even went further and commissioned a double-tap bombing at a memorial for him. One bomb went off in a crowd and then another went off after people came in the help the wounded from the first blast. The purpose of this, of course, was to provoke the Iranians into a war so the US would fight it for them.

    But we see a similar standing by by police in Israel and West Bank while the crazies (Among whom is Sarah Silverman’s sister) are allowed to do what the state can’t quite get away with.

    A couple of days ago they were blocking the road to prevent trucks getting in.

    Now they’re emboldened by lack of any police action to just loot and destroy the aid itself.

    You can really feel the lack of any concern in Sullivan’s voice and face as he attempts to simulate being outraged. But he doesn’t say who he is outraged at. No doubt they’ll “sanction” some settlers or make the Israelis arrest a few after the fact but it’s clear the Israeli police let these things happen. This is government policy to let this happen. Just like it’s government policy in LA to let the Israeli immigrants attack American students at UCLA.

    They’ve also been trying to get the UNWRA HQ in East Jerusalem shut down, it seems they’ve succeeded. They slowly escalating from protesting outside the gate to setting fires. Again seemingly without fear of anyone trying to stop them.

    “This is how the USA became a colony of Israel.”

    Oh, the USA started becoming a colony of Israel long before Israel even formally existed. The moment the Ashkenazim were allowed to enter this country, instead of being beheaded on sight, America’s goose was cooked. They basically declared war on America and Americans, secretly (so as to fight a one-sided war unnoticed and unopposed) the moment they set their cloven hooves here.

    And now they’ve entirely and successfully destroyed the country: America is now unrecognizable politically, economically, socially, culturally, racially, demographically — it’s a stage 4 cancer patient. They’ve won.

    “Does Israel Have a Backdoor to US Intelligence?”

    Perhaps, but they hardly need it. They have the front door. The raw feed of all US signals intelligence, including the domestic part that is redacted for US intel, is shared with the Israeli government. This is not a secret. This is the open US policy.

    In other words, the vast US signals intelligence gathering operations exist primarily for the benefit of Israel, secondarily for the benefit of the oligarchs who control the US government, and only tertiarily for the benefit of the US “intel community”, who regard the heritage citizens of the US as its primary threat.

    Fortunately for the US intel community, when they want to do illegal domestic surveillance of their primary threat, they can just ask the Israelis what is in the redacted part of the raw intel feed, so they don’t have to worry about little things like Federal law … provided the Israelis agree. (The Israelis won’t agree to provide info about the pro-Israel counterprotesters near Steve, for example.)

    Personally, I am fine with the encampment people getting a taste of actual danger and discomfort. Leftist protestors have been able to act out with virtual impunity for years, and let’s not delude ourselves that most of them are motivated by genuine humanitarian concerns for a relatively small group of people thousands of miles away.

    It doesn’t matter, this was allowed to happen because they attacked a group protesting Israel.
    Think about it, over 1500 illegal antifa and blm marches/protests/riots. No mandated social distancing, no parade permits, businesses torched and police stood down, even abandoning a police precinct. Hell, they even knelt with them. As evidenced in the Rittenhouse affair, there were an awful lot of Jews present at these protests. I base that on the fact that Rittenhouse shot, what 3 people? And 2 were Jews.
    Now youve got pro Palestinian protests (read anti Israel) and suddenly the police care. Find who you are not allowed to criticize….

  27. Considering the entire war, I would say that average white person’s attitude in the West (perhaps not in the US) is as follows:

    * Israel has the right to militarily intervene, but this is evidently an attempt of ethnic cleansing. Were it not so, Israel would have announced some plan for post-war Gaza (say, international protectorate with 1/3 Europeans, 1/3 Arabs and 1/3 others) & dehamasization, like in the post-1945 Japan & Germany. The absence of any public plan is a sure sign of ethnic cleansing intention, as is the case with the West Bank. One should add starvation/blockade policy, detention camps’ profile, exclusion of all media from Gaza, … so that many pro-Israeli people are changing their minds.

    * that said, people are aware that Palestinians & Hamas belong to a different ethical culture & mentality, which are irreconcilable with the modern mind & the West. Especially seeing mass (mostly) Muslim protests in some big cities

    * also, that all Arabs and Muslims are insufferable & are absolutely alien to our way of life. With some exceptions, of course.

    The US is not guilty of militarily helping Israel, but for doing it blindly & without questioning. 

  28. @Mark G.

    George Washington said Americans should avoid passionate attachments to other countries.

    He also said this, which is anathema to many who otherwise exalt the man:

    For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.

    “Local” might apply to more than geography, too.

    Steve has never seemed to me to be willing to notice bad things about Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture in any age or any locale. It is as if his mind is locked on this: the largest empire ever meant a whole lot of commoner Brits got to be very rich from family investments in the British East India Company and other such ventures, and that means their heirs could lead lives of genteel reflection and give us great servants to humanity, like the Huxley family.

    That means that Steve is not lily to ever notice the fruits of of the Judaizing heresy Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, the specific religious both of WASP culture, not then the statistically unlikely, shall we say, fact of Jewish financial involvement in WASP empire from its early days, gathering momentum up to this very day. Anglo-Zionist Empire.

    [MORE]

    So for Steve, all he can notice about these student protests is that a whole lot of those who oppose the Israeli genocidal attempt are brown or yellow or black and the vast majority of those ramming into the anti-genocidal protesters have white skins. To Steve that means only that we may be seeing Jews wake up and realize that funding the Hate Whitey campaigns even more than do the likes of the Rockefellers, the Quakers, and the Unitarian-Universalists is not a wise choice to continue for long as almost all Jews also have white skins.

    And that means that Steve must actively refuse to notice genocide, and that whatever any of us may think of the nation of Israel, the fact is that it was created by the interests of WASP Empire and it always has done that job. That genocide in Gaza could not be occurring without the backing of the United States.

    Here is my noticing: whenever Jews get rich in any country that has leadership tempted toward inertial aspirations and then buy into upper power circles, they will start showing monsters’ teeth; and when Jewish money is added to WASP self-righteous hubris, those monster teeth quickly become global.

    Those who study crime eventually hit upon the fact that there are strings of ‘couple killers.’ Bonnie and Clyde provide a well known example. Without Bonnie, Clyde almost certainly would have remained a small time robber. Without Clyde, Bonnie likely would have remained a waitress type, maybe occasionally stealing a tip for another or over charging a customer. Her poetry would have been about how hard life is for a white girl born into utter poverty.

    The chemistry that erupted when Bonnie hooked up with Clyde brought meant all those deaths and injuries.

    Maybe Steve could notice that WASPs and Jews play out much like Bonnie and Clyde. And that would mean he needs to notice the anti-Gaza genocide protests and those gangs that attack them in new ways.

    Me? I know what WASP empire is and always has been. Lord Palmerston perhaps best stated it. And when plans for worldwide imperial domination requires a near genocide, then it must be done! WASP empire now and forever! Body counts and exterminated languages and folk cultures will be forgotten.

    The 4 most important ideas regarding British desires to literally rule the entire globe born of those Victorian ‘think tanks’ of amateurs to gain wide adoption are: eventually get America back serving WASP imperial designs; take Palestine from the Ottoman Empire, remove most or even all the natives and replace them with Jews and thereby have defining control over the entire Middle East and secure support from Ruch Jews worldwide; conquer and fragment Russia; conquer and fragment China.

    This is the real story – not the media coverup of protests punchups in Universities but the cover up of a clear genocide.
    When I visited Auschwitz or others read a book or watched a documentary on the Holocaust, I’m pretty sure most of thought “if this happened again i for sure would be talking about it, not covering it up”.

    The greatest press demeanour was the UNWRA False Flag. UNWRA is a guilt trip for the big nations who permit Israel to continue Settler colonialism (think early America, but mostly German lebensraum, deliberate murder, starvation and genocide). Big nations contribute to the UNWRA fund for relief to Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza.

    Recall the day of the ICJ court hearing. At least hear in Europe the South African presentation had not been available to be seen anywhere except on Russia Today (mostly blocked) and Al Jazzera (Qatar funded). The Israeli defence was freely shown. On the Court judgement day Israel announce it has found 12 UNWRA workers who had been involved in the Hamas October attack. Never mind that UNWRA has 13,000 workers.

    Within 2 hours leaders from all over the western world had both confirmed the evidence, repeated the claims, and withdrawn all funding from UNWRA.
    This was the main news story of the day. The ICJ ruling of Plausible Israeli Genocide in Gaza was barely mentioned. In the days that followed the 12 participants got reduced to 6 and later it became clear that the only evidence found had been produced after torture. Several of the 15 nations began funding UNWRA again. None of this is reported in the mainstream of course.
    UNWRA funding is a complex issue – none of the countries could have made that de-funding decision without at least 2 weeks notice, though they claimed to make it in 2 hours.

    For those interested in Premier League football the ICJ ruling day might best be remembered as the day Jurgen Klopp of Liverpools departure was leaked 4 months before the end of the season. Neither Klopp or Liverpool had a prepared statement. So Front pages and back pages were covered.

    Harvard’s former president Drew Faust on making “necessary trouble.”
    https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/goldman-sachs-talks/drew-faust.html
    https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/goldman-sachs-talks/drew-faust-f/transcript.pdf

    David Solomon recently interviewed former Harvard President (2007-2018) Drew Faust about her autobiography. David Solomon is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

    Faust was interviewed on April 8, 2024. At the very end of the interview there is a one-sentence, elliptical mention of Ramallah (on the West Bank). No mention of the ongoing, American-funded, and American-armed genocide by the Israelis in Gaza, or the protests against these atrocities by college students in America and around the world.

    Talk about a Faustian bargain: keep one’s mouth shut about subjects that enflame the Kosherklatura and their political apparatchiks—or else.

    Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

    Drew Gilpin Faust: “My father used to say: “Why be difficult when you can be impossible?” And for me, making trouble was necessary to survive. . . . ”

    David Solomon: “Shortly after that, you attend your first antiwar rally in Washington, D.C., in the mid-60s. And you certainly attend a bunch of antiwar rallies, and it’s been something that over the next five years you became a significant participant in these antiwar protests. Talk a little bit about how you thought about that, why it was so important to you, and how your impression of it changed kind of through the journey of the rest of that decade.”

    Drew Gilpin Faust: “I think two aspects of the situation with the Vietnam War were very moving to me. One was the notion that had animated me in so many ways through my whole life, which [is that] it isn’t fair, it isn’t just, this is a war that’s wreaking havoc on a population that doesn’t deserve to be treated this way. So there was the gesture of concern for what we were doing in Vietnam and to Vietnam. . . . So I went to many, many, many antiwar protests in Washington and in Philadelphia , but I was always a peaceful protester . . .”

    The book’s title “Necessary Trouble” is a quote from civil rights icon John Lewis.

    The same Boomer UniParty NeoCon warmongers who celebrate Lewis and Faust now view peaceful anti-war protests by college students against Israel’s Gaza genocide as events that should be violently suppressed.

    Ukraine’s President Zelensky is an historic example of why it is a bad idea to take instruction from the luciferian globalists that control Washington DC. Zelensky should be remembered as one of, if not the most, ruinous traitor to any nation in human history. Zelensky campaigned on promises of normalizing Ukraine’s relationship with Russia. The people of Ukraine wanted good relations with Russia. There is no reason the country of Ukraine could not engage economically with Russia and western Europe.
    Ukraine could have been a linch pin in economic trade between Russia and western Europe. This is why the luciferian globalists that control the Anglo American sphere destroyed Ukraine.
    An economic bloc that extends from Spain through France, Germany and all of the countries of western Europe through Ukraine , Russia and connects India and China would be a great benefit to all of the people of all of the connected countries.
    This powerful economic block would weaken the Anglo American centered economic system that is in place now.
    The luciferian globalists installed Zelensky, the gay, Jewish, comedian as President of Ukraine to destroy Ukraine to prevent Ukraine from linking western Europe with eastern Asia.

    The US State Department actively undermined Ukrainian politicians that were pro Russian. A large majority of Ukrainians preferred politicians that would have positive relations with Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky campaigned on promises of improving Ukrainian relations with Russia.
    The US / British did not want Ukraine to align with Russia because they do not want western Europe to conduct trade east towards and with Russia.
    An economic trade alignment that stretches from Spain, France, Germany east to include Russia and even connect China and India would be much more competitive than an Anglo American alignment.
    The British and Americans would rather destroy Ukraine and Russia than allow an economic trade alignment that stretches from Spain to China.

I saw something like this at the spy museum in DC, so I think it’s a real thing.

    I bet the real difficulty is beating modern security cameras and sensor alarms. I bet that the intelligence agencies have built back doors into all the devices. Like if you watch that recent documentary on Netflix about how one of the first computer databases had back doors built in it so the US and Israelis could spy on other countries that they sold the software to, I bet that you have similar things going on like that with security devices. For example, the cameras could have some thing where a radio or microwave pulse of a very specific frequency causes the camera to replay past hours for say an hour, while some business was done inside the area of surveillance. Or a pulse that disables a sensor alarm for say an hour. That’s how they do that I bet, and it is handed off from the US to the various Israeli firms. This is all just speculation and guess work on my part, I don’t really have any inside knowledge of this.

    That’s the theory. The reality is that we are the goyim described by the late Ovadia Yosef, the leading rabbi in Israel:

    “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel.

    …With gentiles, it will be like any person – they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money. This is his servant… That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew,” Yosef said.

    “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat…”

    …and this will continue to be the reality so long as we pretend it isn’t. This notion that Israel is one nation and we are another ignores the real, the substantial reality. Look at the situation right now: how would you describe it?

Israel regularly uses this supposed collective guilt to emotionally extort German support for Israel’s constant, egregious violations of international law and basic morality.

    However, in the last free election in Germany before the Nazis took power, only just over one-third of Germans voted for the Nazis. This was before Germans could have had any idea of how vile the Nazis would behave once they’d established a totalitarian government. In contrast, polls suggest that some 80% of Jews worldwide and 90% of Jews in Israel support Israel’s current genocide against non-Jews in Israel, despite their awareness of constant irrefutable evidence of Israel’s vicious genocide.

    One thing that is plausible given the extensive freedoms Israel’s intelligence community has from civilian oversight-and an culture that encourages risk-taking and audacity-is that one of them decided to do this on their own. But that theory has two major problems, since MOSSAD handles the international stuff, and their rivals in Shin Bet and AMAN I’m willing to bet are currently in a state of disgrace from October 7th. They a) tend to be liberal end of their political spectrum on the Palestinian issue and b) are not fools and understand just how much US politics is changing in the long-term. SAVAK goons being set loose on student protestors did not help the Shah’s international image when he needed (that many of the people who wanted to overthrow him-including the people who ultimately did succeed him-were far worse was as irrelevant then as Hamas’ explicitly genocidal nature is right now, and there is a parallel in how the suppression of reasonable actors despite bettering conditions-for Iran, economically, for Israel, politically-leads to the domination of less pleasant ones) it desperately as he suffered from terminal cancer and the revolution exploded upon a sharp economic contraction.

    There are many great and noble Jewish people. Mr. Unz is one. The first hallmark of a great Jew is to publicly recognize his own ethnic privilege, which rests on the ethnic rackets built by his forebears. The next mark of a great Jew is to publicly work to undo the nepotism and ethnic based networks which maintain the power of these rackets. The third is not to blame his own over-proportioned privilege on less powerful groups such as “fellow white people.”

    >I don’t recall the anti-Vietnam war protestors wishing that all South Vietnamese (both those living here and in Vietnam) were dead.

    They certainly did not give a damn about all the people who ended up dead as a logical result of the policies they demanded. Let’s not pretend that people could not see just what Communist victory would mean in Indochina if they wanted to, just as much as people can see what Hamas is really about right now. In any case, it isn’t like the protestors were wrong about the fact that American policy was inflicting massive amounts of pain on the people of Vietnam and Cambodia, however blinded by emotion they were over that. The same dynamic motivates the pro-Palestinian kiddies. They might be obnoxious, but censoring them isn’t the answer.

    The big difference is that Hamas has no real ability to endanger the existence of Israel. ARVN was doing its best it could under considerably unlucky circumstances in 1973 (hyperinflation wrecked the South Vietnamese economy at a time where it was attempting to crash-start modernization, not least because of the way the South Vietnamese state was constructed under the historical contingencies-much like how WWII’s hyperinflation fatally wounded the KMT around 1943), but the difference between their reliance on US air cover and the IDF of 2023, the military powerhouse of its region, should be night and day to all here.

    Really? You say Zelensky wanted to normalize relations with Russia? So what happened? Oh yeah, Putin decided he wanted to INVADE UKRAINE.

    Did you get that? It wasn’t the US State Department that chose to INVADE UKRAINE. That was Putin. And yes, the plans to normalize relations with Russia were thenceforth put on the back burner, to absolutely no one’s surprise — except you and idiots who think like you. Being a ruinous traitor had nothing whatsoever to do with holding off normalizing relations with Putin’s Russia after Putin decided to INVADE UKRAINE. If I try to make nice to my neighbor, and get smacked with a 2×4, I’m gonna modify the game plan. Could have been a linchpin? Coulda woulda shoulda, but if that’s what Putin wanted, he could have just let Zelensky go forward without instead choosing to INVADE UKRAINE.

    OFF TOPIC

    It’s an iSteve world … even in Amherst, Massachusetts …

    Another strong, fierce, and confident Black woman leader is attacked by prejudiced bigoted racists.

    … from the New Yorker magazine:

    .

    [Dr.] Letha Gayle-Brissett, the Amherst Regional Middle School’s culture-and-climate coördinator, who used to have snacks ready for Jo whenever they stopped by, agreed, at the end of 2023, to serve as the interim principal at ARMS. But, at a school-committee meeting in January, a former ARMS student, who is trans and biracial, and the student’s mother, who is white, spoke in opposition to her appointment. They raised objections to how [Dr.] Gayle-Brissett, who is Black, had addressed incidents of anti-trans bullying and harassment at ARMS through restorative-justice circles that, the student’s mother said, “placed him in rooms with the bullying students.”

    Past and present arms staffers told me that they were taken aback by the accusations against [Dr.] Gayle-Brissett, who has a doctorate in education and is widely viewed by her colleagues as efficient, empathetic, and highly engaged with students. In the exhaustive Title IX investigation, her name [nor her title, “Dr.”] scarcely came up at all.

    At the January school-committee meeting, [Dr.] Gayle-Brissett refuted the allegations about the restorative-justice circles, and suggested that the criticisms of her work were racially motivated. “There have been whispers that some members in the middle-school community are intent on removing people of color, especially Black people, from leadership positions,” she said, adding that, in her view, a “very important social-justice issue for our time—that is, inclusion and justice for our L.G.B.T.Q.I.A. community—is being weaponized.” A high-school staffer who spoke in support of [Dr.] Gayle-Brissett was more blunt: “Amherst is racist, the staff is racist, and there’s a target on the back of Black people in the district.” In the end, [Dr.] Gayle-Brissett decided not to take the job after all. 

    Mr. Lomez might be interested to note that the New Yorker seems to endorse anonymity for those that accuse others, and groups of others, of (gasp!) prejudiced bigoted racism.

    Depends on the time period. Before 1953, we were viewed very positively in Iran as a force to offset the British and the Russians.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morgan_Shuster

    You could imagine how much our training of the SAVAK did to elide this image, and give us the same reputation as moralistic hypocrites that the British were so loathed for. (The Russian-Tsarist or Soviet-desire to turn Iran into a satellite state was hated and rejected, but was at least taken as honest.)

    Also, our relations with the Shah as an individual was very President dependent. It’s important to remember that by 1960, the Shah was his own man and often could dictate terms to the West, not the other way around. Some Presidents handled this new reality better than others.

    (Given what happened not just to his country, but his own family on a personal level, the Shah would not have been human if he did not take an immense sadistic pleasure in an economically reeling Britain’s diplomats humiliating themselves before him in the 1970s.)

    The thing about 1953 was that the complex *Iranian* reality of what the coup(s) were, were not, and what happened afterwards didn’t really matter. In a country where everybody from the Shah himself to the lowliest construction worker were inclined to view politics through a conspiratorial lens-which was not a Persian psychological quirk, but simply a rational response to Iran’s last century of history at that point-that year and Kermit Roosevelt’s foolish bragging about it left a traumatic scar. More than anything else, the one thing that could give the mullahs renewed legitimacy is our hand being visible in Iranian politics.

    ‘Jack,
    There are many great and noble Jewish people. Mr. Unz is one. The first hallmark of a great Jew is to publicly recognize his own ethnic privilege, which rests on the ethnic rackets built by his forebears. The next mark of a great Jew is to publicly work to undo the nepotism and ethnic based networks which maintain the power of these rackets. The third is not to blame his own over-proportioned privilege on less powerful groups such as “fellow white people.”’

    Generally, the more mediocre the Jew, the less willing he is to do this. It’s the personally and intellectually deficient Jews who tend to take refuge in a more or less meaningless collective superiority. Jonathan Pollard needs to be a Jew; the Cohn Brothers probably could give a damn.

    ‘…Are you saying young Jews risk their lives? This goes against the observation of most who comment here… ‘

    Maybe you’re being sarcastic, but that seems to be more or less a canard.

    I’ve looked at two cases. In the first, German Jews in the First World War indeed died at about 60% of the rate their representation in the population would have implied — which, considering Jews were neither the aristocrats who made up the officer class nor the peasants favored as conscripts — seems reasonable.

    In the second, Jews were as heavily represented in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War as they were in the American Communist Party.

    Of course, Jews decidedly dodged service in Viet Nam, Iraq, et al: but it seems they’re perfectly prepared to walk the walk as well as talk the talk — if it’s for a cause they believe in.

    Steve’s “reporting/opining” on Israel/Gaza since Oct. 7, is likewise pretty consistent in steering his readers toward believing that: (a) Our Greatest Ally dindu nuthin’, but silly college kids are protesting to get out of finals or something; (b) This is all totally normal and there’s no lessons to be learned about who controls U.S. policy, law enforcement policy, university policy, or media policy.

    To me, the big story is that the U.S. government is bought and paid for by AIPAC. Coincidentally, anti-Israel protesters (unlike anti-white protesters) are broken up by cops. Coincidentally, organized Israeli thug groups aren’t investigated, arrested, or prosecuted.

    Re: Chinese loanword percentage, bullshit. The people who did this study obviously drew the boundaries in such a way as to reinforce their preconceptions.

    Japanese is a very prominent source of loanwords into Chinese, stemming mainly from the early 1900s when Chinese intellectuals went into Japan and learned terms for modern concepts there.

    Just because the words happen to be Chinese-like and use Chinese characters has no bearing on whether they are indigenous. Just to give one example, the Chinese term for “cultural revolution” (文化大革命) is composed of two Japanese loanwords (文化 – culture – Japanese bunka) and (革命 – revolution – Japanese kakumei) and only one (大 – large, big, major) that is purely vernacular Chinese in origin.

    “To the extent that they were “dancing” it was because they correctly understood that in light of this attack, America would have no choice but to attack Israel’s enemies such as Iraq, which the US in fact later did.”

    How would they know who did 9/11 without foreknowledge? They see a plane crashing into a building and they just assume it’s some crazy mujahideen? Why? When I first learned of the first plane crashing I thought it was an accident. And I certainly did not expect a plane crashing into a building would bring it down.

    So your theory is that they were shooting a modern version of the musical The Fiddler on the Roof on top of a van? “If I were a rich man…”

    Your rhetorical questions aren’t beside the point, they underscore it: free speech and critical thought in this society are being so effectively crushed that fewer are willing to publicly say so. And that’s making things awkward for the increasingly irrelevant Diffident Right.

    Pseudonymity facilitates the search for truth by allowing us to say what we think without suffering damage to personal relationships, social ostracism, or Establishment sanction. So, what do you think about the cops chaperoning the attack? The Antisemitism Awareness Act? Etc.?

    Why don’t you look into the different meanings of the words נדר and שבועה? Surely a scholar of Judaism such as yourself knows that the concepts have completely separate Talmudic tractates devoted to them.

    OK, OK, for everyone else: The first, which is what the prayer you linked to concerns, refers to personal vows made to God. With enough repentance it can be forgiven, because God forgives His honor, although this is frowned upon. (Ecclesiastes: “Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.”) The second, which refers to an oath made in court, is inviolate, period.

    Not hard to find. Almost a quarter of a million Jews served in the American forces, way above their proportion in the general population. A large percentage were immigrants.

    Jews served in pretty much every army in the war, above proportion in many cases. British, Canadian, Australian (General John Monash was a Jew), American, French, Italian, German, Austrian, Russian. (One of my great-great-uncles was killed fighting in Poland.) This is probably unique in world history.

    The Jewish Legion was set up for British Jews who wanted to serve in a Jewish unit, although most British Jews just served in the regular army. (A lot of the Legionnaires were Eastern European immigrants or Russian Jews.) A second battalion was organized of American and Canadian Jews. (Again, most American and Canadian Jews served in the regular units.) A bunch of Jews in Palestine signed up for the Ottoman army and were accepted, but when word got back to Istanbul they were all thrown out and expelled (with a lot of other Jews) to Egypt, where they joined the Jewish Legion, becoming the third battalion along with a bunch of Ottoman Jewish POWs. There were a bunch of members from elsewhere, including Argentina and Georgia (the country), and even a Jewish African tribesman.

    A group of Jews who stayed behind formed an underground spying on behalf of the British, but were heavily caught and killed by the Turks. The Jewish Legion eventually fought its way back into Palestine along with the British and ANZAC forces. There’s pretty much a direct line from the Legion to the IDF, and a lot of future leaders of Israel came from its ranks.

    There are a few Commonwealth war cemeteries in Israel, and one in Gaza. When the IDF entered Gaza a few months ago, they found that several of the graves there were for Jewish servicemen.

A quick search confirms what I would assume: Imperial Germany, which was probably the most philo-Semitic country in the world at the time, had a pretty high participation rate. Ditto Austria. Russia had a huge contingent, but almost all of those can probably be understood to be traitors and saboteurs. America and Britain, tiny but that percapita though. France, ha.

    The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men’s faces. “They were like happy, you know … They didn’t look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange,” she said.

    The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.

    According to the police report, one of the passengers told the officers they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan “during the incident” — referring to the World Trade Center attack.

    Nearly 250,000 Jews served in the American Expeditionary Forces, which totaled 4.8 million men and women. Eighteen percent were foreign born.

    “I’m in a barracks with 270,” wrote one Jewish draftee, “and so far I’ve found a half dozen men who could speak English without an accent.”

    Looking a little deeper, that looks like the high end of the estimates. This is from shortly after the war.
    AMERICAN JEWS IN THE WORLD WAR
    BY JULIAN LEAVITT
    DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WAR RECORDS, AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE
    https://www.bjpa.org/content/upload/bjpa/amer/Americans21.pdf

    First, our collection already comprises over 150,000 records of Jews in the military and naval forces of the United States. These are individual records, free of all duplications, and furnishing, in the majority of cases, all service details—such as date of enlistment or induction, branch of service, rank, casualties or citations, etc.—and, in addition, certain details as to age, nativity, occupation, etc., of the greatest possible demographic value.

    Second, of the 150,000 records at hand about 140,000 have been tabulated and classified by branches of service, rank in the service, states and cities of origin, etc. Of these 140,000 records some 114,000 are classified in the army, 13,500 in the navy, 2200 in the marine corps, and about 11,000 in service unknown. Of the 114,000 army records, 24,200 are known to be in the infantry, 7642 in the artillery, 7884 in the medical corps, 4558 in the signal and aviation corps, 2496 in the engineer corps, 1239 in the cavalry, 1385 in ordnance, and 13,264 in other branches. Men whose branches of service are as yet unknown, but the great majority of whom will probably be found later in the infantry, number 51,332. As to rank, there are so far recorded 7929 Jewish commissioned officers in the army, of whom 32 are colonels, 39 lieutenant-colonels, 340 majors, 1201 captains and 4802 lieutenants. In the navy there were recorded to date 433 commissioned officers, including one rear admiral, and in the marine corps 59 commissioned officers, including one brigadier general.

    The best available evidence indicates that there were from 200,000 to 250,000 Jews in the service, or from 4 to 5 per cent of the total forces of the United States, which numbered approximately 4,800,000 men. These estimates are based upon several independent calculations which tend strongly to confirm one another.’

    “According to a former high-ranking American intelligence official who spoke to the Jewish Daily Forward in 2002, the FBI concluded in its investigation that the five Israelis arrested “were conducting a Mossad surveillance mission and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, NJ, served as a front.” At least two of the men arrested were determined to have direct links to the Mossad after their names appeared in a CIA-FBI database of foreign intelligence operatives. According to one of their lawyers, one of the men, Paul Kurzberg, had previously worked for the Mossad in another country prior to arriving in the United States. Another of those arrested, Oded Ellner, subsequently stated on Israeli TV that the five Israelis had been in New York at the time “to document the event,” meaning the attack on the World Trade Center.”

    “As to whether any of the Israelis knew of the attacks in advance, the relevant section of the FBI report that asks “1. Did the Israeli nationals have foreknowledge of the events at WTC and were they filming the events prior to and in anticipation of the explosion?” is notably redacted in its entirety, suggesting that the FBI did not determine the answer to that question to be an emphatic “no.””

    Yup, the biggest (legal) pushers of the (legal) white death which has ravaged so many of our White communities are, of course, chosenites. The damage [the Sackler family’s] drugs have done to countless lives (and to medical ethics, go look up their marketing practices) is incalculable.

    The brother, uncle or maybe great uncle of the ones who did the OxyContin scam is Arthur M. Sackler about whom Wikipedia says “The Medical Advertising Hall of Fame wrote in 1998,”

    No single individual did more to shape the character of medical advertising than the multi-talented Dr. Arthur Sackler. His seminal contribution was bringing the full power of advertising and promotion to pharmaceutical marketing.

    Says he “marketed in publications targeting physicians directly which increased the pace at which doctors learned about medicines and brought them to market, but did not ever participate in sales force canvassing and detailing, a technique now under tremendous scrutiny.” And those drugs early on included “Betadine, [something I can’t find], Librium, and Valium.”

    I can attest the latter was massively promoted in doctor’s magazines in the mid-late 1970s. Librium was the first benzodiazepine immediately preceding it, and they were a mixed thing given how people get tolerant to anything that hits GAB. But massively more safe than the barbiturates, one older doctor mentioned to me that a lighter weight woman on them could be killed if she took 1-2 drinks. And Betadine/povidone-iodine is a fantastic antiseptic.

    He died eight years before OxyContin became a thing, but it’s obvious he primed his family including his much longer lived brothers for it.

    The answer seems obvious, but one the press has been reluctant to spell out explicitly: As far as I can tell, the bruisers were largely Israelis, Israeli-Americans, and other Jews.

    But then again, who really wants to know much about Israeli influence in America?

    Those are benign assertions or conclusions? That’s a benign state of affairs in the US?

    Sort of. The reason why DiAngelo’s work rings true to so many people is because it is, except for one very important fact: she has substituted nebulous white people in place of Jewish power. The difference between what I am saying and what Diangelo is saying is that she relies on outcomes and disparity of outcomes to prove conspiracy. That would never hold up under any evidentiary scrutiny if held to judiciary standards. “Your next-door neighbor had a heart attack after berating you about your grass height. No one else on the block had a heart attack, therefore you caused his heart attack.”

    There are many explicitly Jewish and Israeli organizations which meet openly and conspire on how best to help themselves at the expense of others. These organizations and their lobbyists pay politicians to get their way. When white people attempt to organize in the exact same manner, they are instantly labeled hate groups and domestic extremists and are harassed, infiltrated and set up by law enforcement.

    Ever heard of AIPAC or the ADL? How about the World Jewish Congress? There are hundreds more.

    Whatever could it have been? Jewish behavior? What they’ve done?

    Nahh…couldn’t be. Could it, Jack?

    Is this supposed to be a joke? This was a group of Israeli nationalist Jews – emphasis on the capital J – not a group of nationalist whites.

    You’re missing the point: Steve’s saying that if those had been nationalist whites from any other country, say the “white nationalists” that Biden and his people are always going on about, the presses would have clattered on for years about this violent incident and the instigators would have been hounded like the J6 crowd.

    Yet because of the particular country these “nationalist whites” were from, nothing happened.

    ‘…The “rising tide of antisemitism” around the world might just have something to do with what Israel, to the enthusiastic applause of many Jews around the world, is doing.’

    The ‘rising tide of antisemitism’ schtick is designed to deflect attention from Israel’s criminality and discredit those who object to the fact that we enable that criminality.

    The mendacity really is disgusting. It’s as if it were 1942, and every time somebody objected to Nazi crimes the response was ‘you just hate Germans. You’re a bigot!’

    Uh, no, the US war protesters wished all the US soldiers were dead. As dad interviewed many, many protesters from this era and they told him thus, that’s who their ire was saved for—against fellow Americans, albeit serving at the time in Vietnam.

    But the question (that you didn’t directly answer) remains.

    Where is Antifa in all this regarding peaceful protests vs Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians? Which team are they playing for, and whose side are they on?

    Antifa isn’t officially on the side of the Palestinians, and they aren’t even marching in these campus protests (officially), like they did back in the day when they clearly wanted the MSM to know that they had showed up and were there.

    Now? They’re nowhere to be found (officially).

    Three big differences between then and now:

    1) The protestors then were a lot more violent. They were also a lot more male. Even Daley era cops (who often had sons or neighborhood kids in Vietnam and thus hated the protestors with a passion in a way that these cops probably don’t) would have found beating the crap out of unarmed women a hard sell. That’s what makes Israeli thugs attacking these chicks and their eunuchs a big deal. The sheer contradiction between Women’s Tears and “Fighting Anti-Semitism” is going to tear the Democrats apart unless the media can effect a blackout. They are doing their best, but in 2024, it’s not just the technology that has changed. More Americans do not trust what they are told until proven otherwise than the other way around.

    2) The protestors could-theoretically-been fighting in Vietnam themselves back then. Tellingly, once Nixon ended the draft, a lot of the wind behind the protestor movement evaporated. There’s no analogue to that here. As horrendous as this is for US geopolitics and our greater image in the world, our policies in Ukraine have done a lot more concrete, economic damage to American prospects than this conflict, so it’s not about concrete interests. This is purely morals/emotions (not mutually exclusive) driven.

    3) A lot of young people from other demographics took a dim view of the protestors in 1968: particularly the blue-collar male demographic actually being drafted and that they were denouncing. Nowadays, even young male rightie types are not going to go fight against them for Israel’s sake, and might even take their side if presented with such a scenario. The Israel-philia that makes American policy so irrational is hyper-concentrated in older Americans, and I’ll bet anything that scares the crap out of the Israelis now that their long-term geopolitical strategy of spreading their chips worldwide has been thrown out by Bibi insisting that the Palestinian issue has a non-radioactive military solution.

    Ngụy. The word is ngụy. There’s a reason former ARVN dudes make their living with unofficial English speaking business stuff, they and their families got the label preventing them from getting certain kinds of jobs.

    None of the various Vietnamese states looked upon the partition as natural in the 1950s, and both of the major ones were nationalistic entities that wanted to dominate the region. The disagreement was the model to be used to get there. It takes generations for ideas to become natural, and it doesn’t just happen by itself. Most East Elbians hadn’t reconciled themselves one iota to their loss in 1950.

    I prefer to learn lessons from the past and do things better next time than focus on regrets. Done more than enough of that for a lifetime, and have paid a heavy toll for it. The problem is, of course, getting that next time. Not much you can do except prepare and hope that the probabilities start shifting in your favor.

    One thing I forgot to include is that the thing that kept the USSR afloat as long as they did was hitting oil in 1959. In all likelihood, that might well have been a good thing, up there with that blessed Soviet captain during the crisis. The USSR collapsing earlier would have meant vicious civil war at best in the time before the utterly war-averse generation took over, and nuclear apocalypse at worst, especially since this coincides with Cultural Revolution-era China.

    Anyway, in the Vietnamese context, this meant that the North had a steady supply of subsidized fuel right when the South-remember, trying to shift to an industrial/export oriented economy-got hammered hard by the oil embargo. Suharto’s Indonesia had oil, but they were going through a protectionist phase, and ironically enough, Suharto deemed the North Vietnamese leadership more nationalist than communist, unlike domino theorists in the US. His main animus was with Maoist China, not the Soviets or their satellites, and by 1972, the North Vietnamese had decidedly taken Moscow’s side. (I take a mixed view on that one, TBH.) I think a big part of why the 1990s was so rough for the DPRK was they were so used to Soviet subsidies, unlike, say, the East Germans.

    He simply should have just started the piece with “jewish protesters attacked…” and then pointed out the double standard. Instead, he employed the writing tactic he himself has pointed out many times over the years: Assume the reader is only going to read the first sentence or two of the article, and then bury the facts in paragraph 12.

    Casual or new readers aren’t going to pick up on his snark, if in fact that is what it is.

  221. @Catdompanj

    Now youve got pro Palestinian protests (read anti Israel) and suddenly the police care.

    Not only do they care, but they coordinate their attacks on the peaceful protesters with Steve’s putative “men in gold chains” — AKA “right wing” antifa. Both are semitic supremacist gangs/ militia that are portrayed by major narrative promotion agencies as “spontaneous,” “organic,” “anti-establishment” reactions to so-called “hate groups.” One has more obvious ties to the semitic supremacist settler-colonialist regime in Palestine; the other uses more anarchist/ Bronsteinite symbology.

    “B-b-but the only connection is that they both just happen to be composed of Members of the Tribe!” screech semitic supremacists and their apologists.

    Uh huh. Note that at celebrations of the (literal) holocaust of Dresden, antifags are prone to wave, along with their Bolshevik/ anarchist flags, and banners with messages like “Bomber Harris, Superstar” and “Alles gut kommt von oben” [“All good things come from above” — accompanied by a picture of a bomb]… the flag of the [“right wing”] semitic supremacist settler-colonialist regime in Palestine. It’s not really about ideology — that’s just a propaganda narrative for the goyim. It’s about identity.

    I think I’ll observe that Jews do tend to try to stick with the winner.

    They jumped to Team Persia when it overran the Levant in the Seventh Century, then it was ‘us Jews and you Muslims: we’re a team!’ until about 1700 ad, then it was Napoleon, then it was Prussia, then it was the Commies, then it was America number one and ‘Judeo-MuslimChristian,’ — and now it’s
    ‘us Jews: we’re not white.’

    David Ben Gurion was going with Team Ottoman Empire, even learning Ottoman Turkish in Salonika, where he was photographed wearing a fez. About a decade later he joined the British Army, then at war with Ottoman Turkey, and was photographed in the uniform of the Royal Fusiliers. He had no loyalty to either the Sultan or the King-Emperor, it was a case of who benefited the Zionist project the most.

    3) It’s a graphic novel but has some footing in real history. In Before Watchmen, the particular graphic novel connected with the characters the Comedian and Rorschach has the former coming back to the USA and being met by an anti-war protest at an airport. Being quite fearless, the Comedian goes out to meet them and talks quite civilly to one young woman protester who gives him a flower. Then she is hit on the head by a tomato as some mostly young hard-hat pro-war protesters attack them for bothering a “patriot”, and a real fight breaks out. The Comedian allows himself to be removed from the scene.
    I have seen some Zionist “counter-protesters”, including at a major march today in London, but they are not really up for aggro as far as I can see, and supporters of Palestine would also be wise not to let themselves be provoked.

    The N. Vietnamese called the S. Vietnamese army “the puppet troops.” This while accepting all the arms, equipment, etc. they could from the Russians.

    Who hasn’t partied with Trump? He was one of the most famous and wealthy men in America long before politics. He may not drink or do drugs, but he does have a serious weakness for eye candy, and he’s clearly a social butterfly. I’ll bet he and Bill Clinton have slept with some of the same girls. The dude frequented Studio 54 in the pre-AIDS era, so that’s probably pretty tame compared to what he saw back in the ’70s and ’80s.

    Just because the girls regret it years later doesn’t make the men rapists, for Pete’s sake. And better to have a POTUS with a mistress half his age than one dominated by his wife or his staffers. Of course, the ideal IMO is a Justinian-Theodora style *team*, where they complement each others weaknesses and strengthen each other’s strengths, but in an age where everything is a competition, that’s just not fathomable anymore. So we’ll have to settle for Stepford smilers (because how else can it be, in a 21st Century field where you must be a psychopath to be happy?) who try to remain as insulated as possible, or we’re going to have pettycoat politics forever.
