  1. Ron Unz says:

    Here’s a duplicate of my comment at the end of the previous Open Thread:

    And “professional rescue-workers”? What kind of training would they have in discriminating between the sound of explosions and other similar sounds? Why would they ever have had any such training at all? Is there any evidence that they did?

    NIST claims that the connections between various structural members snapped.

    That probably would have sounded, at least to some people, like “small explosions. ” A loud, sharp noise is a loud sharp noise.

    https://www.unz.com/announcement/open-thread-8/#comment-6450842

    I dunno. If more than 150 experienced, professional fire-fighters and rescue-workers say that they heard a series of explosions inside the WTC just before it collapsed, I tend to take their statements very seriously.

    It also seems *extremely* suspicious that all their eyewitness testimony was left out of the official NIST report and was only later discovered through FOIA filings.

    Leading demolitions experts who were shown a film of the collapse of Building 7 without being told what it was said it was obviously a controlled-demolition using explosives, and an absolutely first-rate job.

    Reputable academics who who examined the remains said they found obvious traces of nano-thermite, a military grade explosive.

    Roughly 200 Mossad agents were quickly rounded up by the FBI, most of them in the New York City area, with five of them caught filming the burning WTC towers and celebrating their very successful operation, though all of them eventually released back to Israel under enormous political pressure.

    In 2006, a high-ranking former CIA official publicly declared that the official 9/11 story was a total pack of lies and fully endorsed the 9/11 Truth movement, while a top German official responsible for intelligence matters said much the same thing. A former president of Italy said that “everyone” knew that Mossad and the CIA had actually been responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

    All we have on the other side is an official NIST report that deliberately excluded all of the massive eyewitness testimony and other contrary evidence.

    I’ve discussed all of this many times in my various articles, most recently the one from last year:

    The NIST is part of the Department of Commerce. Commerce is one of the Departments in the heavily Jewish Biden administration that’s in white Gentile hands. I’d love to know what the current head of NIST and the Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, think about all this. Is Gina Raimondo related to Justin Raimondo, author of The Terror Enigma?

  3. Hi TV,

    I checked both of Mark Gaffney’s recent articles. I both articles your comments are ~10% of the totals, so I don’t see where the deletions occurred:

    [MORE]

    (1) On Demolition a page search shows that you appear 213 times and PhysicistDave appears 194 times (out of a total of 1834 comments), so is that still kosher?
    https://www.unz.com/article/the-demolition-of-the-world-trade-center

    (2) But on Plowshares Truth Vigilante appears 51 times while PhysicistDave only appears 6 times (out of a total of 582 comments). If Dave’s comments were deleted did those deletions remove your responses as well?
    https://www.unz.com/article/did-the-plowshares-program-set-the-stage-for-nuclear-terrorism-on-september-11

    I would like to modify your name to Truth Aletheia or TA, since Aletheia means Truth in Greek and TAs are the people in college who do the real teaching while the professors sit back and take all the credit. And on this site you are an instructor par-excellence!

    (This is also a dig at Dave, who told us about the travails of his daughter Alethea at UCLA:
    https://dailybruin.com/2019/08/25/ucla-potentially-unfairly-pursues-misconduct-allegations-against-hill-resident)

    Note this amazing definition of Aletheia:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aletheia
    Aletheia is variously translated as “unconcealedness”, “disclosure”, “revealing”, or “unclosedness”. The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is “the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident.” It also means factuality or reality.[2] It is the antonym of lethe, which literally means “oblivion”, “forgetfulness”, or “concealment”[3] according to Pindar’s First Olympian Ode.[4]

    In Greek mythology, aletheia was personified as a Greek goddess, Aletheia. In some accounts she was a daughter of Zeus, while Aesop’s Fables[5] state she was crafted by Prometheus. In interpretatio graeca she was equated with Veritas, the Roman goddess of truth.[6]

    To Ron,

    Your comment #1136 on Open Thread 8 is MUCH appreciated!

    Here is more on that white rubbery shit being pulled from arteries and veins of cadavers, by embalmers, … a new never seen before phenomenon among the embalmers, …. since the advent of covid, and especially since the advent of covid vaxxing, … that Peter McCullough recently insinuated may be of similar pathological metabolic origins (the clotting in the living is similar in some ways to this white rubbery shit being pulled out of cadavers arteries and veins by embalmers, for years now, but not prior to that), ….:

    Fuck’in hell. This Professor Resia Pretorius, has been on this since 2020? And everything she says here, lines up precisely with what I and others claimed here, at UR, early on, ….during the summer of 2021, …. about the probable avenue(s) of severe covid pathogenesis and covid vaxx pathogenesis (spike-induced vascular trauma, primarily), …. just by way of purviewng some of the research prior published about sars-cov-1 metabolic pathways of pathogenesis, … and then the emerging research around sar-cov-2 metabolic pathways of pathogenesis, …. and interpreted these findings correctly, …. despite idiots like commenter ‘That Would Be Telling’, claiming biologics expertise but then blowing smoke at us, over our correct assessments (that spike is indeed pathogenic, all on its own).

    Wow is all I can say (in one important way, Ron Unz and UR contributing to the advent of the Hard-Clown-World, obviously upon the populaces of the west now, ….. Unz, historically, coming out in favor of the idiots here, more-or-less, on this covid-pathogenesis phenomenon topic, …. claiming ignorance on the topic, thus tacitly giving the floor to expert-domain-liars like ‘That Would be Telling’, as it was happening). And Ron is among the sharpest. I think what perhaps we need to begin to wrap our heads around is that, – yes indeed the advent of Hard-Clown-World is now upon us. If one begins to leave room in one’s mind for precisely this possibility, ….. the facts then, begin to shine through in a way that confirms Hard-Clown-Worldism. I think almost everybody though, doesn’t yet want to admit it.

    This UR is a great place, …. allowing a space to sort this out, … maybe it takes somebody like Unz that had already prior decided that not all conspiracy theorists are nuts, to allow this action for the UR, despite his misgivings.

    Please note that the more religious types make this mental equation: Hard-Clown-Worldism = satanic possession. Humanity is now at the stage, … we have no choice, … we need to deal with the mental illness that has always been simmering in the background, among our super successful species. We can no longer afford to behave like 2-year olds (that is the gestalt of Hard-Clown-Worldism, …… the 2-year-old demeanor). The 2-year old demeanor, and the tech-super-success that people like PhyscistDave lay claim to, ….. are incompatible.

    It is interesting that Professor Resia Pretorius believes that the covid vaxxes ‘saved millions of lives’. That’s just crazy to claim that. Because if that were true (that it saved millions of lives, on balance) then that would mean that the substantial excess all-cause mortality experienced in many many jurisdictions, over 2020 – 2022 and into 2023, would have been much worse, without the vaxx. There is no credible pathway to that claim. Mortality rose in conjunction with the roll-out of the vaxx, despite the associated falling clade-IFR.

    ‘We been spiked’ is gonna become the new cultural catchphrase for ‘we been played for fools’, one would hope (we gotta fight Hard-Clown-Worldism with its gestalt of 2-year-old demeanor).

    Here’s a comprehensive history lesson for all here:

    Timeline: Key Events In The Israel-Arab And Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
    Conversations on social media, news media coverage, events on college campuses, and general public discourse related to the Israel-Hamas war demonstrate a dire need for accurate information about Israel, Zionism, and the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. As the war continues to evolve, staying well-informed about the historical context and ongoing developments is crucial for fostering more understanding and informed opinions.

    The timeline below aims to address frequently asked questions about Israel’s history and to help dispel misinformation about the events leading up to this point.

    Thanks for that deep dive MK.
    I was aware of participating in two 9/11 threads authored by Mark Gaffney last year, and just assumed that the first two I located in the archives were the two in question.
    But in fact there were three (3) such threads authored by Mark Gaffney. The one titled ‘Demolition-of-the-world-trade-center’ is the biggie (the one with over 1800 comments).
    And this is the one I was thinking of when I ran across the other two Mark Gaffney threads, which seemed to be missing lots of comments from Dovid Miller.

    Anyway, if you’re reading this Ron Unz, my apologies to you for implying that you may have purged some commentary from the archives.

    Ron, what happened to Open Thread # 8?

    Now, I get it that when a particular thread becomes too wordy that you close it down, usually ending with a comment from you to that effect.
    But even once closed, these threads are still available to access in the archives. (I had some material in my comments posted in Open Thread # 8 in the way of links to articles/videos etc, that I may want to retrieve for future reference).

    I tried entering ‘Open Thread # 8’ in the Search Bar located at top right, but could not retrieve it.

  12. I come across all sorts of information/content from various sources, some of which I can’t verify, but quite a bit certainly seems true, like the Protocols. I made note of the following blurb, whence I don’t recall-

    According to lon Mihai Pacepa, the chief intelligence officer in communist Romania, what happened in Russia and how Putin took over resembles plans reportedly discussed by Stasi officers. The plan specified to the West about re-branding East Germany as a democratic capitalist country, but which would be in practice taken over by Stasi officers. It was registered as Top Secret Document 0008-6/86 of 17 March 1986. According to Pacepa, other communist intelligence services had similar plans. On 12 March 1990, Der Spiegel reported that the Stasi was indeed attempting to implement
    0008-6/86.

    Then, this morning I read an article @ American Thinker (I know, it’s pro-Israel, but they post good information nonetheless) referencing Yuri Bezmenov, and this is an interesting 6 minute excerpt from his interview in the 80’s, essentially confirming the above blurb, as it pertains to America/Great Britain, for what it’s worth.

    Latest from John Campbell:

    [MORE]

    Is this the beginning of the end on the covid phenomenon false narrative? Just in time to throw a chaotic strange attractor (please don’t attempt to beat me up Dave, … I am using that phrase as a metaphor) into the 2024 election of the very important American hegemonic component of this faux-west globalism that is plaguing us, just when Trump’s odds seem to be otherwise rising and rising?

    I don’t think anyone has a hope in hell predicting what is going to happen in the lead-up to this election (because we live in Hard-Clown-World now, so any old weird and creepy 2-year-old behaviorial stuff can emanate geopolitically from the western parties in the faux-west globalist camp, … at any time, pretty much). But I would be very surprised if it just goes uneventful. If it just goes uneventful, from here on in, with Trump as shoo-in then, …. I am going to be even more suspicious of the guy than I already am. This is very confusing. Trump was actually good in 2016 -2020 for keeping this whole faux-west globalism thing going for another good 10 years anyways, … making the smart moves to delay the inevitable (inevitable unless America truly changes her ways, … but I think it turns out Trump’s version of that, … this MAGA, was fake in that one respect, … just cosmetic in that respect …. because instead it seems Trump was angling to keep this hegemonic brute standing on its feet for another good 10 years). At least that is the way it looks vs. the 2020-2024 Biden presidency -right? Biden is destroying the near-term prospects of an ongoing successful faux-west globalism, as we speak, on several fronts (yet he seems to be the faux-west globalist’s boy). So weird (and confusing).

    What the hell is really going on, as to those with dibs on the 2024 election of the American hegemonic brute component of this faux-west globalism? You got me. I still don’t really know. But I do know, whatever the hidden stakes/motives: Hard-Clown-Worldism it is.

    Bezmenov’s spiel of yore makes alot of sense if you edit him, and replace the word ‘thugs’ for his use of the word ‘Marxists’ (I bet Bezmenov knew that, as well, but chose not to say it that way). Truth be told it doesn’t matter the initial political stripes, when it is a cover for thugs. When the thugs then prevail by way of manifold possible avenues of subversive corruption, which all look different (but in spirit really aren’t, ….. just different flavors of the same thing), … we get what Bezmenov outlines at the very end of the clip (the tables are mercilessly turned on the dupes that were manipulated by way of telling them what they wanted to hear, but otherwise salting that narrative with subversive undertones that slowly will come home to roost, … various such subliminal strands all of a sudden going public overt-mode all over the place).

    To me, is sorta feels like we might be at the stage where ‘various such subliminal strands all of a sudden going public overt-mode all over the place’, is close at hand. Freaky (the feeling), is all I can say.

    Engineers like Kevin Ryan, Tony Szamboti, Leroy Hulsey, etc. have meticulously exposed the NIST reports as frauds. Most of the technical issues involved can be understood by a layperson willing to spend some time at it.

    Between the 2002 FEMA report, the 2005 NIST report on the Towers, and the 2008 NIST report on WTC-7, there was a long-running debate between the very few experts willing to defend the official story blaming plane crashes and fires, and the ever-growing number challenging them. By far the most prominent scientist defending the official version was Frank Greening, whose predisposition to want to accept the official story led him to propose arguments that struck me and others as grasping at straws. But the gross inadequacies of NIST’s 2005 report on the Towers, and especially its laughable 2008 WTC-7 report, finally convinced a deeply disappointed Greening that the “truthers” were probably right all along: https://www.unz.com/audio/kbarrett_frank-greening-bbc-mischaracterized-me-i-do-not-believe-the/

  16. On 9-11, that fact that our government won’t do something should tell you all you need to know about who actually controls our freemasonic Republic. Corbett Report’s “Five Dancing Israelis” was the beginning of my understanding something is very wrong with the standard story, with our country, with the hidden agenda, with our bought and paid for politicians, and why our government seems to be working against the people. It also explains why we have untold amounts of money to fight Israel’s wars and to fight in Ukraine which in reality is just an Israeli proxy war they call (Kissinger) “The Greater Israel Project”. The Yids want to return home, and they are trying to clear the land of all the goyim. Prove me wrong, you cannot. Corbett Report’s video link is here in case you have never seen it.

    I saw what 9-11 was when I saw the buildings, – the first one collapsed directly down through its own footprint. I was having breakfast in a bar at around 9:30 AM, I said that it had to be an inside job because of how the buildings collapsed and the fact of the OKC bombings, Kennedy assassination, Holohoax, missing 2.1 Trillion dollars, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc…etc. Twenty-five people laughed at me. I thought – “OK, this is a psychological problem” and I have followed that tract of thinking since it happened.

    The book “Political Ponerology” is a very good and important book. I’ve read it a few times. I’d like to hear what Ron Unz, one of my favorite intellects, thinks of it. I’m studying Kant to get a solid understanding of the basics of human cognition and have been reading everything I can find on propaganda and bullshit.

    I’ve been a conspiracy theorist since the age of 11 when my school principal talked with me in his office about questioning the holocaust. He agreed with me in that it was hoax but also said my life could be somewhere between difficult to impossible if I continued to question it. I was just an ordinary kid, no genius or anything, never did homework and was always happy with a C grade.

    As a brief followup: are you now retracting your charge that many of your comments, as well as Dave’s, had been removed from the Gaffney plowshares article?

    To recap my page searches:

    [MORE]

    (1) On Demolition a page search shows that you appear 213 times and PhysicistDave appears 194 times (out of a total of 1834 comments), so is that still kosher?

    (2) But on Plowshares Truth Vigilante appears 51 times while PhysicistDave only appears 6 times (out of a total of 582 comments). If Dave’s comments were deleted did those deletions remove your responses as well?
    https://www.unz.com/article/did-the-plowshares-program-set-the-stage-for-nuclear-terrorism-on-september-11

    In the Demolition article you and Dave both posted about the same number of comments, each ~10% of the total posted. But in the Plowshares article, while you came in again at ~10% of the total, Dave did a nosedive to only 10% of your total. So it looks like either his comments were removed, as you originally asserted, or you have scared him away. Which do you think? I think Dave has a lot of good qualities, especially when he isn’t posting here. I hope he keeps it up.

    You know how Dennis Prager and Trump and others have promoted their own universities? What if Ron started Unz University? And we his commentariat could qualify for degrees? What do you think?

    Here’s a possible course syllabus for UU:

    1. Holocaust Denial is White German Christian Revival
    2. 9/11 was an Israeli false flag, but not using micro-nukes.
    3. Vladimir Putin is a hero but also possibly a ZOG asset
    4. Affirmative Action is Positive Dereliction
    5. Black crime is horrible unless we can keep it in the ghetto.
    6. Jews are not to be trusted unless they moderate anti-Semitic ranting sites.
    7. All religion is evil, except for those followed by Michael Hoffman E Michael Jones and Kevin Barrett.
    8. Why Ron Unz deserves a Nobel Prize in Journalism and Historical Revisionism.

    All joking aside, I think an online Unz University might be a fantastic idea. I leave it to others to flesh out the details.

    This is response to PhysicistDave’s comment #1127 of Open Thread #8:

    [MORE]

    On this passage of your comment:

    “And then, in the sixteenth century, science came along. And we stopped even trying to get “a definition of ‘real’.” We just said, in effect, “Ah — to hell with all that!”

    No we didn’t:

    https://closertotruth.com/topic-guide/

    On this your passage:

    “And, instead, we just started looking at things — at the planets, at beetles, at rocks and stones, at the Sun, at rose bushes, etc. — and tried to figure out what those things were made of and how they worked.

    Things over words.”

    Yes, … we (and you) proffer conjectures (like I already said in prior comment in this exchange thread) around that (made up of a novel manipulations of concepts, … concepts as per language-representations) and test those. Look, …. cut the crap, … it is not ‘things over words’ that you do as physicist, ….. it is ‘maths over words’. And you seem to suck at interpreting maths in terms of words (or maybe instead it is just that you might be a lazy bastard, around that). And you do not possess dibs on your supposed interface with the primacy of ‘things’, .. despite your constant claims otherwise (though your methods, … which are our scientific methods, do bring abundant results, of course, it’s true). You do not possess those dibs, like you seem to think (at least you weirdly constantly claim that you possess said dibs as a rhetorical devise, at least, … and if is just that, it is dumb in that vein [as a rhetorical devise] so please drop it already,if it is just dumbly, that), …. because you, categorically, are still at arms length away from the ‘things’ you hope to analyze, vis-a-vis the arms-length condition of the more wordy methods. The maths methods emerged from the word methods (and not the other way around), … people can’t really impart maths meaning to each other without being able to talk to each other first, … and your maths methods are of course burdened by that provenance, …. burdened in a way that you seem to think you possess the hubristic claims, to refuse. Sorry brother, … you and your fellow physics are in this together with the rest of us, and it is very weird you seem to claim otherwise.

    “As Wittgenstein said in the final sentence of the Tractatus, “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”

    You want us to bullshit.

    We are just not into bullshitting. Too bad.”

    OK, …. you had earlier claimed that yours is the ‘common sense’ approach. Show me the money Dave. Where is the common sense to your approach, if all you say to someone like me is – ‘you didn’t study the maths and so you don’t understand’? Show me the’ common sense’ money. Show me the ‘common sense’ money Dave, already. You do understand that, with respect to definitions of ‘the real’, there is, in the least, phenomenon, instead of a lack of phenomenon – right? Well start there, then. Tell me what more you know, beyond that, … and who knows, … maybe you even have insights as to why we must accept the first precept that I just mentioned, in the paragraph here, … and if so, … tell me about your insights around that as well.

    I think you probably cannot do what I ask (from the physicist perspective, that is). I think probably you cannot do what I ask because modern physics is in the business of revealing ‘closer to truth’ statements to us, by way of the scientific/maths method, as evidenced by the subsequent engineering successes and such, … and that’s it. Modern physics is doing nothing more than just that, but does tend to lay pretensions to ‘reality revelations’, and you should know better, …. your physics is so far from complete or universal, in any way shape or form. We (the people trying to appreciate the physics community) salute you, but as well, do ask that you get off the hubristic high horse, please.

    On this your passage:

    “The natural numbers (1,2,3…) are limitless; yet, with my little limited brain, I am able to grasp many interesting things about the natural numbers.”

    Mmmm. I think therefore I am. Conceptions of limitlessness are apparent. Yet it is true that we are limited in extremely constraining ways (5 – 9 items of short-term memory, for instance). What’s the resolution of these 3 observations taken together, Dave? Perhaps that: ‘the real is limitless, and despite our limited nature, we are informed by the infinite as a necessary condition, nevertheless, because by physics, everything is connected to everything else, perhaps tenuously, but this principle is irrefutable – no? Yet your physics doesn’t want to claim that.

    On this your passage:

    “Guess my limited mind can grasp lots of stuff about unlimited things, eh?”

    Yeah, … I recall being well satisfied by Euclid’s proof of infinite gaps between primes among the natural numbers.

    On this your passage:

    “Maybe not your mind, though.”

    Hahahaha. What to say to that? Fuck you brother, I guess. Why do you want to elicit such responses of annoyance to your vapid disrespect, though, … jeez this brings me back to square one with you, many months ago, … you sure you aren’t just doing an arrogance-jerk-off at our expense here in this thread?, … jeez, if it is that, yuk, stop it already.

    On this your passage:

    WM: If a natural scientist is to always give consideration to the viewpoint that reality is limitless, then he must conclude that, if true, he will never ever be able to make his thoughts conform to such a reality, …. and therefore, said natural scientist (you in this case) must commence the operation of conjecture-spinning and testing (a method of now having ‘reality conform to thoughts’, as you say), …. which is precisely the method that the natural scientists have used so successfully with respect to ‘reality-uncovering’.

    PD: “Nope. As I just showed, my little mind can indeed grasp limitless things. Pretty cool, eh?”

    Wut? I say you do ‘conjecture-spinning and testing (a method of now having ‘reality conform to thoughts’, as you say),’, …. because you in fact do, as all good scientists do, ….. and you attempt to blow smoke but yet again? Fuck, stop it, … this is going beyond mere low-brow rhetorical devise now, … you are straight up lying now, I think (because you have insinuated several times that you do not register that scientists, including yourself, indeed do conjecture-spinning and testing). Stop obfuscating.

    On this your passage:

    PD: “I do not in fact think “that it’s impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.” I don’t know for sure, but I do not think it is necessarily impossible to know.”

    WM: Could you clarify please. Do you mean that in terms of the consideration that reality may indeed by limitless? (Or are you here just pointing to the potential for a ‘limited reality’ to render these questions as answerable?). If it is the former, … for the life of me, ….. I cannot see how it would be ever possible to know the true nature of limitless reality, from the limited human perspective

    PD: “Oh, you can’t see that, because you are completely uneducated (yes, I know you spent years in school — but you were not educated!) and really not very bright!”

    That’s not a fucking answer. Answer. Are you severely constrained by the limitations of your cognitive apparatus (think 5 – 9 items of short term memory, for instance) so as to severely limit the search capacity necessary, to even begin a project that is de-facto unlimited in its scope? … (which is my sense of our condition), …. or not, …. and if not, why would you think that?

    On this your passage:

    WM: The type of dualism we are discussing (which is outside of the dualisms of your physics examples) is illogical because you must impose a way for the two such fundamental categories (mind or consciousness/the physical) to interact, …. which means these would not be two separate fundamental categories. Monism it must be.

    PD:”Nope. I do not have to “impose a way for the two such fundamental categories (mind or consciousness/the physical) to interact…”. The world is what it is: I do not need to impose anything.”

    Well, if you entertain dualism, which is illogical, then you do have to make that imposition, if you want to remain within the bailiwick of logic (aka ‘common sense’ as you say). Dave … are you arguing against a universal system whereby everything is necessarily connected to everything else, even if rather tenuously? … (which would be a ridiculous argument), because otherwise how would you make such bizarre claim that indeed there can exist two fundamental categories? If you believe that consciousness may be a fundamental universal category absolutely separate in every way, from physicality, and you do not impose a way for the two such fundamental categories (mind or consciousness/the physical) to interact, (which imposition would be tantamount to monism instead of dualism, then) then what of the correlations we find that abound, between said categories? Why are there these correlations, then?

    On this your passage:

    “Look: I know that countless philosophers have made the claim you are making here: this is one of oh-so-many reasons that we scientists tend to believe that the vast majority of philosophers are very, very dimwitted indeed.”

    I have no idea what that means, … to the point I must consider it is you that must be the dim-witted one, I suppose. Dualism is illogical. You have no counter-argument.

    On this your passage:

    “Sunlight and a plant are obviously very, very different things: You can hold a plant or part of a plant in your hand; you cannot hold a sunbeam in your hand. You can chew on part of a plant; you cannot chew on a sunbeam. You can weigh a plant on a scale; you cannot do that with a sunbeam.

    And on and on and on.

    Nonetheless, plants and sunbeams do interact, you know: that is what happens in photosynthesis. And we understand in great detail how that works.

    Why should matter and consciousness be any different?

    Yes, yes, I know: you find that to be illogical.

    Well, the word “logic” actually means something: first-order predicate logic, classical Aristotelian syllogistic logic, modal logic, etc.

    Exactly which basic principle of logic would be violated by consciousness interacting with matter?

    Yeah, yeah, I know: it just plain seems illogical to you!

    Does it ever occur to you that, just maybe, you are not the measure of all things?”

    Well, … ‘Why should matter and consciousness be any different?’, … is for the reason, that you claim that dualism is perhaps true, so there would then be no mode of interaction available, in that eventuality, for consciousness and matter to affect each other, so as to eventuate the apparent correlations between said categories, that we indeed do observe. The logics you mention are interrelated, …. it is the alethic (“necessarily”) mode-of-truth component of said logics, that is key.

    On this your passage:

    “You want an example of how consciousness could logically interact with matter?

    Okay, let C be the (probably multi-component) quantum field for consciousness. Let M be (some no doubt composite) quantum field representing matter.

    Add an interaction term to the Lagrangian, g*C*M, where g is the coupling constant between consciousness and matter.

    See? Easy-peasy!

    But you have no idea what I am talking about because you are uneducated.

    So, you will just have to take my word for the fact that this could be how matter and consciousness interact, now won’t you?

    Unless and until you choose to get an education.

    Is this how consciousness and matter actually interact?

    I have no idea — it might be.

    But it does show that it is logically possible.

    You want to show that it is illogical — by all means tell us all what principle of logic it violates.

    And, no, the fact that your severely limited mind cannot grasp it does not count!

    Things over words.”

    Wut? Where in your example have you shown that C & M, necessarily, fundamentally, cannot interact?

    In earlier comment #1,079 of our exchange in Open Thread #8, I has offered this potential criticism of your stance:

    I am wondering if perhaps, you might be a marco-dualist as informed by micro-monism (somebody the sees the reality of ‘consciousness’, … supposes it may even be a reality-feature that supersedes physicality, at the human-agent level in the least, … yet will not deign to then examine their earlier mirco-monism stance, in light of said marco-dualist claim?). Is that what you are doing? (probably not because that would be quite dumb in the logically-internally-inconsistent way, and you are not dumb). Please clarify.

    In this exchange, you have now clarified. My potential criticism offered is now crystalized. You are quite dumb.

    And, most importantly, Mike has repeatedly vented his intense hatred towards his Uncle Burt.

    I don’t recall venting hatred towards him. There are many things about him I admire. He was on Nixon’s SALT talk delegation to reduce nukes. He always was concerned about these WOMD. The last time I saw him, in 2018, he told me he was sent to Iran by President Obama as part of a delegation to assess Iran’s nuke program. He told me the Israelis are grossly exaggerating Iran’s nuclear intentions. I thought it was very brave of him to even think that, let alone to admit it!

    The only thing I might hate him for is that he chose you as his grad student and pumped you up with insufferable arrogance that you inflict on the rest of us. The other thing about him I question is after his retirement he became an hysterical proponent of anthropogenic global warming, that TruVi and others claim is a complete scam. He wrote a book proposing mass construction of commercial nuclear power plants to shift away from fossil fuels and to save the planet. My objection to this is that it might attenuate warming and rising sea levels (assuming it’s not a scam) but at the cost of drowning us in unmanageable nuclear waste. I wrote a very negative Amazon review about his book, for which he hated me, not the reverse! You read this and tell me if it evinces “hate” for my uncle:

  21. Well, … ‘Why should matter and consciousness be any different?’

    Because matter takes many forms, as does consciousness, it seems. ? So, it isn’t really different, and the variety of interactions is endless.

    A rose bush is alive; it bends towards the sun; who put those thorns on the stem to protect the blooms? Did the rose conjure the thorns?

    Today, in 2024, there are humans who build dwellings with manure and grass, and there are humans who build dwellings, and have for centuries, like Windsor Palace, Schloss Berg, Linderhof Palace, The White House….I would say the builders have opposing levels of consciousness, and just like the interaction between rose bush/sun beam, check out the new digs of Jay-Z, a manure builder, and the results of his interactions with the Palace builders. (Ok, maybe it’s not “just like,” but close enough for my purpose, which is to mess with you).

    How’s that for an underpinning?

    Oh my, .. a most lovely one all round, in my books. The visual you create, modeled with the sensitivity of feminine turns-of-phrasing, … this feminine phrasing that all men love/respect/appreciate. Very nice.

    I will endeavor to get back to you and geokat62 (and the other ethnic nationalists here), …. a few years ago I had worked out a recursive re-ordering of Johnathan Haidt’s listing of differences in the moral sense of what is deemed left-wing vs. right wing (which again here, … left/right discussions tend to become bogus exercises in political/economic spectrology, unless one carefully parses the spectral-model [it’s not linear, it is bi-directionally recursive], … and I did also work out such reordering of said spectrology, for myself, as a separate exercise, some years ago as well).

    Ethnic nationalists like yourself, is what is deemed more right-wing, in the bogus but normative (as taught in high schools, let’s say) spectrology exercise, … and though it seems Johnathan Haidt may have been trying to address the bogus left/right political/economic spectrum, and find the moral-sense differences between those two elements, … really instead, what he was doing, was finding differences in the moral sense between people that are more ethnic nationalists (which he called ‘right-wing’ which is inaccurate) vs. those less ethnic nationalist. Please note that taking on the identity of an ethnic nationalist is not associated with particular positions on the bogus (but normalized though, as taught in high schools) left/right political/economic spectrum. Ethnic nationalism can occur anywhere within this spectrum. But the bogus but normalized left/right political/economic spectrum, has been offered in this bogus fashion, in order, primarily, to unfairly besmirch you ethnic nationalists (literally Hitler, hahahaha! … who apparently is on the extreme right of this bogus spectrology as taught in our high schools, even though the Nazis were politically/economically left of center …. away from too much individual liberty and towards more state control). And I don’t like that (unfairness). I don’t agree with ethnic nationalists, yet I find ethnic nationalists, in the main, to be just so much more sound of mind/spirit vs. the people that tend to populate the left side of this bogus but normalized left/right political/economic spectrum (who, as crazy as this sounds, I discovered, after a long while, actually tend to be people that are rabid cryptic racists pretending to be the holier-than-thou-opposite, … probably even to themselves).

    OK, …. I offered here, just a bit of background, on the bogus but normalized left/right political/economic spectrum, and also a theory about people dubbed ‘leftist’ within this bogus spectrology, tending to by rabid cryptic racists (they feel they are much better than others but don’t want to say so). I won’t belabor those two points here (but I can go into much greater detail on these two points, if you like). I just offered that as set up for Johnathan Haidt’s actual excellent work (as long as we understand Haidt was actually measuring people’s admitted conscious sense of ethnic nationalism, instead of their positioning on a bogus left/right spectral-analysis). You should note that Johnathan Haidt’s sense of the moral differences between those with greater or lesser degree of this ‘admitted conscious sense of ethnic nationalism’ puts people like yourself and geokat62 (ethnic nationalists), as in possession of the more morally nuanced and sophisticated ordering of moral judgments. Quite something – huh? So where does that leave somebody like me, then? Well, … I think I solved that (years ago now). I had worked out a recursive re-ordering of Johnathan Haidt’s listing of differences in the moral sense of what is deemed left-wing vs. right wing (which is actually instead just measuring the degree of people’s admitted conscious sense of ethnic nationalism), ….re-imagining the so-called left’s inferior (but very passionate) moral ordering, through the ethnic nationalist’s lens …. rendering a higher-order polar-reconciliation moral-list, … which happens to align, with the moral sense I do indeed hold.

    I will endeavor to dig that up (I am going to have to look through old emails, not really fun) … but will share, once I do that. I think this is an important exercise because people tend to internally start doubting the character of those they disagree with, on moral matters, and I think it does not necessarily have to be this way.

    But otherwise, … you and geokat62 and other ethnic nationalists have made many good points about the pace of assimilation of others not familiar with the root western culture. Yes, ….. I think that is true. Maybe where I am in Alberta (experiencing very high immigration from all over the world), … it is one of the few places where that is happening at that rate that isn’t all going south, fast, and so, we may lose westernism, just from that silly action (purposely killing the golden goose?). Very well could be. Yet I like these new people. I think it must because I really do like all humans (can’t help it … humans are wonderful). But the pace of change, of course, absolutely, is a real issue, and must be addressed, because the leadership doesn’t do westernism now (it’s faux-westernism, now), … so, I agree, you can see where this is all leading, … towards tragedy (the collapse of true-west). The newcomers, are mainly just trying to get by and do the best they can, for the most part though (I don’t think they should be personally faulted).

    I recall having multiple vigorous exchanges with Fizzy-cyst Dovid in at least one Mark Gaffney thread, which I assumed to be the two threads with the lower comment count.
    But, after you brought to my attention the Mark Gaffney article with 1800+ comments, after reviewing it, this clearly had the bulk of those exchanges I had with Dovid Miller that I could not initially locate.

It’s the outsized (10x – 100x ethnic over-weighting in globalist circles that affect us in the west) subversive Jewish influence that is the big issue (same as occurred in the early Soviet innings, apparently).

    It’s sometimes striking that conspiracy-activists such as yourself possess almost no logical thinking.

    Looking at the bottom of the previous Open Thread, I noticed that someone denounced Ron Paul regarding 9/11 and since you’re a fanatic Ron Paul supporter you defended him:

    If your theory instead is that Ron Paul will not say it is the Jews [that orchestrated the 9/11 False Flag] because he is a coward afraid to speak the truth, then I would disagree with that.
    Ron Paul is a very brave man.

    I agree, Dr Ron Paul is a gutsy bloke. But he’s also not a fool…

    ‘I’m an old guy and don’t have that many years remaining. So I’m going to come out and tell the world that Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 False Flag. So if there’s a risk they’ll kill me, I’ll take that chance’…

    No doubt after that, many of Ron Paul’s advisors and family members said coming out on 9/11 won’t achieve much if they kill you. They no doubt said to Dr Paul that he was worth more alive than dead.

    https://www.unz.com/announcement/open-thread-8/?showcomments#comment-6453054

    Personally, I’m extremely skeptical that anyone would kill Ron Paul if he loudly declared that 9/11 was a conspiracy or even if Mossad was responsible. There are lots of Truthers around, and none of them have been assassinated.

    However, the MSM would ferociously ridicule and insult him, he might lose his Youtube channel, and he’d be blacklisted everywhere, so his political effectiveness would certainly be destroyed.

    Therefore, the reason he avoids 9/11 (just like Julian Assange and so many others) is not to keep alive but to “maintain his political viability.” In fact, it’s possible that he’s always deliberately avoided looking into 9/11 because he’s fearful about what he might discover.

    But whether I’m right or you’re right, we both agree that talking about 9/11 would be a fatal line to cross for someone like Ron Paul.

    But consider the vaxxing issue…

    During the Covid epidemic, Ron Paul endlessly ranted about vaxxing dangers, the evils of Big PhRMA, that the Covid epidemic was mostly a hoax, and all the other ridiculous Covid conspiracy nonsense.

    So apparently neither he or anyone else in his circle had the slightest concerns that they’d suffer any serious retaliation for their endless public statements on Covid/vaxxing.

    Doesn’t that prove that 9/11 Truth is many, many times “touchier” and more dangerous than Covid/vaxxing?

    And even among the 9/11 Truthers, I’d say that at least 95% of them totally avoid noticing the obvious, overwhelming evidence that Mossad was behind the 9/11 attacks.

    In fact, I think across the entire Internet there’s only a relatively small handful of writers promoting the obvious 9/11 Mossad story, with a good fraction of them acting like total lunatics, perhaps doing so deliberately in order discredit the idea.

    But have you ever considered that if thousands and thousands of pundits all across the Internet—including Ron Paul!—were able to freely spend years ranting about vaxxing maybe that’s because nobody powerful cared about that issue? Or rather, the powerful groups who run our society regarding all those anti-vaxxers as a bunch of ridiculous crackpots, happy that they were wasting their time and energy on such total nonsense rather than any of the potentially more “dangerous” issues, perhaps including 9/11.

    Good day, Mr. Unz,

    I haven’t had much time for participating here of late, and so I’ve decided to ignore a few replies by “Patrick McNally” (or whatever that troll calls itself)), and am just jumping ahead to your new open thread. (if “Patrick” wants to, it can continue here).

    There are lots of Truthers around, and none of them have been assassinated.

    Didn’t you consider it a distinct possibility that ‘inadvertent ‘truther’ and Controlled Demolition expert, Danny Jowenko, might very well have been assassinated?

    the MSM would ferociously ridicule and insult him, [Ron Paul] he might lose his Youtube channel, and he’d be blacklisted everywhere, so his political effectiveness would certainly be destroyed.

    I wonder if the day will ultimately come, when we’re all going to have to make that Vlad Putin-type of decision, and realize that any hope of appeasing ZOG, is just going to get us further down the road of increasingly irreversible destruction.

    It seems to me a decision you have made, vis-a-vis 9/11, (and the ‘Holocaust’ and other heresies).

    Wouldn’t Ron Paul’s (or Julian Assange or Edward Snowden or a thousand other highly-respected journalists or academics or political leaders, etc..), particularly at the sunset of their lives, be most politically effective if they were to come out strong on 9/11 truth?

    With the world facing nuclear WWIII, and the Western world under a ferocious war of genocide waged from within, and with Gaza being starved and brutalized en masse..

    .. wouldn’t now be a good time for someone like Ron Paul, (or Elon Musk or Tucker Carlson, etc..) to simply suggest to people that they look into it?

    My fear, (like Edward Snowden’s), is that if the people of the Western world, all have it spelled out for them, that 9/11 was planned and orchestrated by Israel’s Mossad and elements within the Bush administration, the CIA and FBI at the highest levels, et cetera..

    ..that they would collectively go back to chewing their cud. Exactly as Snowden feared. We all now know that our ‘Intelligence’ agencies and Big Tech are all spying on us all 24/7, that it’s unconstitutional, illegal and treason..

    .. and yet the response is

    Perhaps if Ron Paul, (or someone of his stature) did come out with the hard truth, it would generate barely a yawn from the American public.

    Ron Paul endlessly ranted about vaxxing dangers, the evils of Big PhRMA, that the Covid epidemic was mostly a hoax, and all the other ridiculous Covid conspiracy nonsense.

    Do you consider Big Pharma, (and the WHO and CDC, et al…) to be benign entities, who people should trust, and even obey? For the good of all?

    Or rather, the powerful groups who run our society regarding all those anti-vaxxers as a bunch of ridiculous crackpots, happy that they were wasting their time and energy on such total nonsense rather than any of the potentially more “dangerous” issues, perhaps including 9/11.

    I wonder how much truth there is to that, Mr. Unz

    A lot, I suspect.

    You anti-vaxxers have got to be the most gullible idiots in the world.

    I’ve watched on your site, as many people have unleashed unfair vitriol in your direction, for your well-intended efforts to get at the truth of Covid and its provenance. To this day I consider your theory to be sound, if as yet unproven. So I’d consider your ‘less-than-measured’ rhetoric when describing vaccine-skeptics, (as I’d call myself), as an unfortunate consequence of the invective hurled back and forth, vis-a-vis the Covid debate.

    If your theory is correct, and Covid was deliberately unleashed upon China, (and Iran and others), for some nefarious plot by men like Mike Pompeo and others.. Wouldn’t it be prudent to be skeptical of those same PTB? When they’re ordering us all to get vaxxed, while giving congress and Big Pharma employees (and I guess illegal aliens as well) an exemption to the vaxx mandates?

    I respect people who have gotten vaxxed, for whatever reasons they have. It’s their body and their life, so I consider the decision to be theirs, 100%

    But I also respect those people who’re skeptical of our government and Big Pharma and those organizations like the CDC and WHO, (and WEF, and NATO, et al), who imperiously demand they know what’s best for us all. And we’d better obey, or else.

    ‘Sexual abuse allegation in Kibbutz Be’eri on 7 October ‘not true’, says spokesperson
    New York Times report alleging sexual abuse against two sisters during Hamas attack denied by kibbutz spokesperson…’

    The consistency with which Israel and its advocates have lied about October 7th has moved beyond infuriating.

    So yes, in view of that I’ll have to retract any accusations I had made before, because I can’t definitively state that any comments of mine/Dovid Miller/or anyone else have been scrubbed.

    On Demolition a page search shows that you appear 213 times and PhysicistDave appears 194 times (out of a total of 1834 comments), so is that still kosher?

    I really don’t appreciate being falsely accused of deleting your comments when I’ve never done such a thing. However, your outrageous accusation has moved me toward an important decision.

    You’re just a mentally-defective anti-vaxxer who almost never contributes anything of value to this website, so I’ve decided to just trash all your anti-vaxxing comments and also the anti-vaxxing comments of all your idiotic various friends.

    I think the “Lord of ZOG” are extremely pleased when they see the Internet filled with lunatics ranting about “ZOG” in a foolish and self-discrediting manner.

    I’m also shocked that I allowed you to publish 213(!!) comments on previous post promoting that moronic 9/11 Nukes theory. I think henceforth I’ll trash any comments along those lines as well.

    Writing a long comment takes considerable time and effort, so seeing them summarily trashed represents a substantial penalty for your misbehavior.

    In fact, I think I start having many or most of the comments of all of you anti-vaxxers trashed, unless and until you provide sincere and personal apologies on this thread for your bad behavior and also promise to stop leaving anti-vaxxing comments.

    I think that you and the other idiots in your circle should consider that this is probably one the most lightly moderated websites anywhere on the Internet.

    If you went to any anti-vaxxing website and began discussing some of the topics you freely discuss here, you’d be permanently banned within five minutes.

    If you went to any Ron Paul website and began discussing some of the topics you freely discuss here, you’d be also permanently banned within five minutes.

    If you went to almost any “conspiracy” website and began discussing some of the topics you freely discuss here, you’d be once again be permanently banned within five minutes.

    So I think you should carefully consider that this website is probably about your only option, and I’d just as soon see all of you permanently depart. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    But if you do want to stay around here and comment on various controversial topics, I’ll expect to see those personal apologies and also far more respectful behavior in the future. Otherwise, your comments will just get trashed until you get the idea and finally depart for somewhere else.

    it seems your ire has been irked, Mr. Unz

    stop leaving anti-vaxxing comments.

    I think that you and the other idiots in your circle ..

    Perhaps if you could be a bit more specific, about what constitutes “anti-vaxxing comments”, that would help those of us guests at your site to know what might be a red line of sorts.

    I did just ask you, for instance..

    “Do you consider Big Pharma, (and the WHO and CDC, et al…) to be benign entities, who people should trust, and even obey? For the good of all?”

    and made this comment..

    “I respect people who have gotten vaxxed, for whatever reasons they have. It’s their body and their life, so I consider the decision to be theirs, 100%

    But I also respect those people who’re skeptical of our government and Big Pharma and those organizations like the CDC and WHO, (and WEF, and NATO, et al), who imperiously demand they know what’s best for us all. And we’d better obey, or else. “

    Which I hope is considered respectful and in accordance with the decorum here at your site.

    In any case, while I don’t agree with all of TruthV’s positions, I certainly would like to be included in what you describe as his ‘… friends’.

    And as opposed to the commenters like PhysicistDave, a thousand times more so.

    But that said, I also agree that you’ve got to have very, very thick skin, Mr. Unz, to take so much of the gratuitous abuse that is so often scurrilously hurled your way. If TruthV has overstepped a line, what I’ve seen you endure from others, makes his transgressions, (which he did atone for) look very mild, at least to me.

    I mean he said far more negative than me, but did also allude to the white rubbery shit being pulled from cadavers veins and arteries, for years now, but only since the commencement of the covid phenomenon, ….especially since the vaxxing commenced, …. as I had been also pointing out in those recent comments you trashed (but I pointed out not much more). Look Ron …. I don’t like that it is this way. I have not mentioned this story for all these years, I don’t think (except maybe as mild speculation but I don’t even recall doing that), because it is just too weird and there seemed to be no evidence at all that the medical pathologist community were even interested in these experienced embalmer-findings, … but that has changed recently, … we now know there was some interest, and it aligned with the suspicions raised by me and my colleagues here in the commentariat at the UR, as we shared with you all during the summer of 2021 (including research papers) , that covid displayed much virulence in a small subset of people that looked like, in that form, it was a disease that had morphed into one featuring high vascular trauma, …. and this was spike induced, …… and the vaxx features the body’s presentation of spike to immune system, …. and there was some danger of vaxx-application-method allowing for vascular involvement, …. and now we know this is true, and the end result for some people is this strange rubbery build-up in the person’s vascular system. As per the embalmer’s statements, it seems a good portion (perhaps above 25%) of the dead cadavers dealt with by these embalmers have got this pathology apparent, and the pathology looks so macro and gross, it is likely this condition is implicated in these deaths, which are a high number of all deaths, it seems. It’s nuts.

    Leaked Israel lobby presentation urges US officials to justify war on Gaza with ‘Hamas rape’ claims

    The Grayzone has obtained slides from a confidential Israel lobby presentation based on data from Republican pollster Frank Luntz. They contain talking points for politicians and public figures seeking to justify Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. […]

    A source who was present during several meetings provided Luntz’s slides to The Grayzone. Participants were informed that the presentations and data contained in the slides were strictly confidential, the source said.

    This is NOT helpful,” Luntz stated in response to an email from The Grayzone requesting his comment on the private meetings.

    It’s pretty simple. Anti-vaxxers are the stupidest, most gullible people in the world and I’m fed up with seeing them pollute this website with their garbage.

    And then a moronic anti-vaxxer falsely accused me of trashing hundreds of his moronic comments because he’s too incompetent to remember where he left them and too lazy to bother checking. So I decided I might just as well go ahead and start trashing them.

    Since I suppose I didn’t give you fair warning, I went ahead and retrieved a couple of your very long comments from the trash, inserting a MORE at the top so that they don’t clutter up this Open Thread. If you want to see your very long comments published, make sure you insert MORE from now on.

    If you look near the bottom of the Sidebar, there’s a section entitled “Anti-Vaxx Articles” and you and all your anti-vaxxer friends should feel free to spout off your nonsense on any of those, not that anyone will probably read them.

    Mmmm. Great minds think alike, I guess? AA gives the details around what I had summarized in comment #13 here in this thread, as linked.

    AA notes the stupid gamble being played by the Netanyahu regime in Israel. The main difference between our spiels on this, being that AA doesn’t claim the potential for a hidden occult esoteric angle here in this article, that I do mildly speculate may well end up explaining this strange Bibi-regime dynamic in the fullness of time, … as I have often posted here at UR.

    It is likely that the faux-west globalists are in the process of switching out political pawns (which Trump is), … just as AA outlines. That is what it looks like, from this current time-frame perspective, anyways. But like I said (and AA chimes in) pret near any completely surprising thing, can actually happen at any time now, before election time, as well. I don’t think this looks good, for an analysis of Trump’s character, at all, (perhaps unlike AA’s take), …. and if we get another bad actor as leader (Trump as this?), … well, at this point we are fucked then, unless the globalists realize they have been too brashly confident and goofed that way and realize they now need to re-consolidate, and so will now pick the guy that was actually trying to do that ‘go-careful-mode’ for these faux-west globalist powers in 2016 – 2020 (Trump as president making the moves to keep this faux-west globalist cabal active, as a real power in the world, for at least another 10 years, vis-a-vis what Biden offers, … which seems to be a quicker demise of faux-west globalism as it is on the way to misplaced pretensions of prevailing, within a new One World Governmental Order) … a new One World Governmental Order that is not gonna happen,, … at least not now in the coming decades, … unless it is forced by nukes or something crazy like that.

    Will the faux-west globalists regroup under political pawn Trump, in this way, … or will they quadruple-down on the ‘take over the rest of the world now’ shtick, as under Biden, … even though said attempt appears to be pathetic?

    [I’ve already warned that anti-vaxxing comments will be trashed. Take heed!]

    Anti-vaxxers are the stupidest, most gullible people in the world

    Perhaps it would be expedient for your commentariat to know what exactly constitutes an ‘anti-vaxxer’, as you describe them.

    [MORE]

    I suppose there are degrees of ‘anti-vaxxer’, depending on people’s perspectives, that go from-

    ‘The Covid vaccine(s) are a weapon of the WEF and assorted, like-minded genocidal, psychopathic globalists intent upon depopulating 90+% of the planet’s ‘useless eaters’. And they are infused with nano-particles, infiltrating our RNA molecules that can be triggered by 5G technology to control everyone’s behavior, including Manchurian candidate-like behavior for mass-suicide or homicidal actions.’

    on perhaps the extreme end / to my take, which is..

    ‘I don’t trust Big Pharma or the government, and I think they’re lying about Covid, and just about everything else, and so I’ll pass on the ‘jab’, thankyouverymuch’.

    And then of course there is the other extreme, which seems to me more or less-

    ‘Anyone who refuses the vaccine for themselves or their children, are dangerous and irresponsible actors, putting all of us at risk, because they’re wearing tin-foil hats, and believe our leaders are reptilian, shape-shifting ETs.

    They should be strapped into chairs and forced to take the vaccine, (even if un-effective) because fealty to the PTB, is more important for everyone’s feelings, than worrying about assorted naysayers, who we all know are just refusing the jab because they’re deplorable and irredeemable racists.’

    Or something like that.

    So for me, at least, the perspectives on Covid and the vaccines, seems to run the gamut of a very wide range of perspectives.

    I once had a ‘Karen’ shouting at me across the showroom of an Ikea store, because my mask had slipped below my nose.

    I would suggest that there are ‘stupid and gullible’, to go around.

  58. Chebyshev says:

    This is a very relevant article to the initial topic of this Thread.

    The writer for The Atlantic, Franklin Foer, starts off by describing the climate in California’s Bay Area K-12 schools following the October 7 attack in Israel. Based on Foer’s account, there was a very healthy contempt for Israel present among Berkeley and Oakland public school teachers and students after the attack. Foer mistakenly believes the Hamas fighters raped and murdered many scores of Israeli civilians and doesn’t appear to know that the Israeli military did most of the killing of civilians on October 7 and that Hamas treated those it kidnapped nicely, which explains his bemused concern over the teasing and crude insults endured by Northern California Jews after the attack in Israel and subsequent Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

    The article describes the horrible anti-Semitic conspiracy theories claiming that American Jews control U.S. foreign policy, the “absurd” theory that the Mossad took down the World Trade Center, as well as the ascription of excessive power and sinister motives to the Jewish neoconservatives of the Bush administration. The author gives a fair amount of space to the 2018 anti-Semitic mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11, a concrete example that Foer and many other Jews would cite as powerful evidence of the scourge of anti-Semitism in America. However, once we recognize that Israeli and American Jews took down the Twin Towers, which immediately led to the Afghanistan War, and that many of those same Jews orchestrated the Iraq War, we see that the over 9,000 American Gentile victims of 9/11 and the War on Terror were victims of Jewish violence. The difference between 11 and 9,000 is very big, suggesting that anti-Gentilism is a much bigger problem in America than anti-Semitism.

    And “anti-Gentilism” is an even bigger problem in Palestine. Foer mentions that every Passover, religious Jews recite the phrase: “In every generation, our enemies rise up to destroy us.” Earlier, he mentions Thomas Friedman’s comment that Jews liked the new images of themselves as pilots and tank commanders created by Israel’s military victories in the 1960s that replaced older stereotypes of Jews as weaklings. Combine that Passover declaration, plus the Talmudic doctrine that Gentile lives have no value, plus the desire for Jews to appear “strong”, with the tendency for both religious and secular Jews to believe the greatest sorts of atrocities have been committed against their people throughout history and to the present day, and we can see why Israel has murdered so many tens of thousands of Palestinians recently with most Jews not really being strongly opposed to this.

    An odd feature of the article is Foer recounting the glories of American Jews in the pluralistic, 20th century America that they helped create, after he earlier on flatly described the establishment of a pluralistic, united state of Palestine containing both Jews and Arabs as the “elimination” of Israel. Surely if American Jews in the past locked arms with blacks during the Civil Rights Movement and promoted the immigration of all sorts of peoples to America, then Israeli Jews can do the same things with Palestinians. Foer also treats the reader to the howler that the number of Jews on several Ivy League campuses has sharply declined this century, when the reality is pretty much the opposite. He closes by suggesting that thousands of American Jews might be on their way to Germany soon because of the terrible anti-Semitic climate in America these days, which says a lot about the mentality of a segment of Jews.

    Well, this thread has gone a bit sideways, and I don’t want to get in trouble with the Host, as sometimes you should dance with the one who brought you, so to speak, but as a mother, I have something to say about vaccines, in general.

    [MORE]

    I did not take the COVID shot, and childhood vaccination programs are out of control.

    When an infant is born in America, they are given a Hepatitis vaccine on the day of birth. The nurses do not ask for permission, nor do they say it was done. I was informed at the first pediatric visit that my infant was vaccinated at the hospital. Why does a child, born in a first-world hospital, in a first-world nation, need this vaccine? They say, in case mom had/has it. This is ridiculous, as screenings for disease is routine obstetric care, and a blood test in a hospital would rule out the mystery of infectious mothers.

    If vaccines stimulate the immune system of the recipient, yet infants are born with no developed immune system, how does this make sense? I won’t get into the importance of breastfeeding, as it relates to the child’s immune system, but suffice it to say, neither obstetricians, nor pediatricians, push breastfeeding as they do immunizations, and I know this firsthand. If you refuse vaccinations for your kids, some pediatricians will not accept your children as patients. I also know this firsthand, and good luck arguing with school administrators, whether public or private.

    Proponents of vaccines also neglect to assert that many communicable diseases were decreased due to treated water; plumbing; wide availability of soap; automobiles, which decreased the need for public transportation – these technologies reduced the spread of germs tremendously.

    So, technological advances continue apace, in medicine/health/nutrition, yet we now have more vaccines than ever, with kids getting 20 – 30 shots before middle school. I stopped the vaccine program for my children, but my eldest, a daughter, who was a successful, competitive swimmer, went in for a quick physical, whilst I was with another child for a different issue at the same office/same time. She was “past due” for the HPV vaccine, and they gave her the shot, without my permission. I was livid, and she received no others, but a few months after, she began to experience extreme pain in her joints, intense headaches, and sinus infections. The joint pain continued for years, and she could no longer swim competitively – she began swimming in meets at age 6; no problems whatsoever until after that vaccine, and my instincts, which have never failed me, say she had an inflammatory reaction to the shot – so, competitive swimming was over just before turning 15. She’s in graduate school now, and she was swimming laps in the campus pool the other day, and a group of students observing her were impressed, as she glides through the water with no splashing, and she was asked, Are you a professional swimmer? She thought it was funny; I wanted to cry, and I did, as I pray competitive swimming is the only difficulty she will face due to that vaccine.

    Somehow, all of my grandparents, great-grandparents, (in-laws, too) lived until 80’s -90’s in relative good health, without a single vaccine. We have a few who nearly made it to 100, and one who did.

    Wow, further to my two prior comments in this thread I have co-joined, …. look at this, on an emerging Biden plan to interject some American control over the events unfolding in Gaza:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-orders-emergency-mission-build-port-gaza-aid-shipments

    Let’s say we assume Biden here is attempting to actually do the pro-social approach, and intends to interject huge humanitarian aid into Gaza this way, …. well that would immediately be followed by American personnel stationed in Gaza to make sure there is no distribution shenanigans (because Bibi’s regime can’t be trusted, this way, Biden knows). If that is what is going on here, …. guess what?, … that means the Americans are going to take over Gaza then. What’s next after that is a big question mark.

    This is the logical solution for somebody in Biden’s boots (a guy so compromised he has to do what he knows is fucked-up and will be mucho bad for his legacy … expected to watch ethnic cleansing happen and stand down, but pretend otherwise). What an uncomfortable position (even for a psychopath like Biden). Biden is attempting to call the bluff, on the 25% Jewish component of the overall faux-west corporatist globalist billionaire/technocratic-dyad, I suppose, ….. maybe the other 75% faction of this faux-west globalism is waking up to that fact they too are going to get buggered up the ass, in the long run, by the other 25%, … now finally seeing that the actual plan all along, has been for us peons to go first, …. then their exalted privilege too? Potentially dead man walking, for Biden now, then (as the 25% Jewish component of the globalist cabal has shown themselves as the most vicious)? Let’s see.

    Two psychopaths both fighting for their own legacy and now in a death match, over that. Mmm? Who is the bigger sacrificial scapegoat here (Netanyahu or Biden), as measured by the faux-west globalist cabal? Maybe we are now gonna see. Maybe that will shed some light on my mild speculations around a hidden esoteric occult angle around the ongoing mystification that is the Netanyahu-survivorship.

I say Jews who get harassed on the street should get the word out to their representatives and to powerful Jewish figures like Antony Blinken and Haim Saban that they want the U.S. to stop the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians that has caused so much grief for American Jews.

    When you get married, you are paying a woman to have sex with her for life.

    I would say this is from the mind of a scorned man. Men and women, both, have to sacrifice something of themselves if they want a family. On the front end, the woman bears the brunt, as in my case, quitting a firm/career I worked hard to achieve, to bear and raise children. The raising of children does not end when they are in high school/college, but if you handled the early years well, high school/college is a breeze, and today, my husband works, and I do whatever I want (within reason), after twenty plus years of non-stop (all day, everyday, every night – it does not stop) looking after everyone in my family, including parents/in-laws. That was my job – still is, but it’s much easier now.

    No government run by men would ever ban hooking (unless there was a syphilis outbreak and antibiotics didn’t exist).

    In point of fact, most governments have been, and still are, run by men. Syphilis has been around for hundreds of years, and I suppose prostitution has been around since modern civilization began, and as disease and prostitution, particularly between different ethnic groups, go hand in hand, it makes sense that prostitution would be banned eventually, as venereal diseases get spread to wives/children/society, with deadly/degenerative consequences. In fact, the males from Europe brought syphilis to the Old World from the New, or that’s the claim, so what were you saying about men keeping things in order?

    Men are generally in possession of very high levels of personal discipline, is what I want to impress upon you

    When did I say otherwise? Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, P. Diddy, Bill Cosby, the Kennedy boys, predatory men all. Obviously, not all men possess high levels of personal discipline when it comes to sexual matters, and in most of these mentioned cases, the women go along willingly, or they put themselves in dangerous positions. I do not accept the sob stories of most of the Epstein victims, who thought private air travel, lots of cash, booze, great travel destinations, etc., were offered with no expectation of something in return , and anyone with half a brain knows not to get sloshed at a frat party and/or that it’s best to leave a party when it gets late and the “mood” changes…when people start passing substances around and a bunch of “newcomers” just crawl out of the woodwork, it’s time to go.

    Also, anyone with half a brain knows the difference between trafficking and prostitution, in general. If a prostitute is under the age of 18, she’s a victim, especially if she was forced/coerced. That said, the age of consent in Mexico is 12, so….this is another example of a clash of civilizations, and why, like syphilis, mixing of races is destructive to the higher culture/race.

    Because humans, with a few exceptions, have divorced sexuality from just another biological process, and because, with a few exceptions, we no longer live in roving bands of hunter/gatherers, breeding indiscriminately, we have to manage our sexuality, because if we don’t, everyone suffers. The loosening of sexual boundaries and expectations in modern society is wreaking havoc, i.e. single motherhood, and people without boundaries, responsibilities, morals, etc., often fail to form close, permanent bonds with a partner, and so they just drift…

    “When were Palestinians born? What was all of this area before the First World War when Britain got the Mandate over Palestine? What was Palestine, then? Palestine was then the area between the Mediterranean and the Iraqian border. Eastern West Bank was Palestine. I am a Palestinian, from 1921 to 1948, I carried a Palestinian passport. There was no such thing in this area as Jews, and Arabs, and Palestinians. There were [only] Jews and Arabs.”

    “I would say this is from the mind of a scorned man”

    Yeah, …. I guess maybe it might be like that for Andrew Anglin (I just don’t know), …. I was married and in my case it wasn’t like that (despite the fact that I was sort of scorned, in the end, hahaha!). It wasn’t like that because the whole sex deal just never ever was even remotely about that … about quid pro quo ….. never ever was (it was about mutual pleasure). Despite it (the sex frequency) very very slowly all going south. …. maybe you could say it all goes south because the woman feels ripped-off (saddled with a guy, that is just fine, I think, that was seen that way [just fine] at the very long beginning, but then this guy didn’t instill enough of the right kind of drama into the relationship I suppose [though there was a lot of drama], … rendering him [to her] as: ‘You feel like a brother to me now and so I don’t want to fuck you anymore’,… pretty much literally). It’s pretty funny actually, when as a man, you are faced with this. At that point, as the man, … you just know, …. what a fucking massive bad joke, this, …. my more disciplined (masculine) temperament made out to be a disadvantage here I suppose (yeah right, … better to throttle the bitch-behavior when one gets it)? … obviously that is fucking dumb and I’m not going to do that for you, unless maybe that particular lady who became my partner wants to play like that a bit in the bedroom, fine (not my thing, but I like my partner to be turned on, so my enjoyment is a bit flexible that way, .. but mostly, in the bedroom, in my experience, women just want to feel masculine presence I would say, … the man takes charge let’s say, and that is enough), … otherwise, no (no throttling gonna happen), ….. very glad to end it too by then, because the whole thing had become a massive joke for years, by then (I am not talking about the sex going south quite a bit, like that is not so huge as long as she is still monogamous with me, … the jerking off never ever was fully replaced by 100% fucking, even when the fucking was gloriously abundant for a long while in the early innings, so it is not the end of the world or anything stupid like that…. I am talking about what that condition was a condition of, ….. and that was this bad joke about misjudgments about my character, …. pretty dumb she wouldn’t actually know this about my character, – only with me for all that time, testing me a whole lot on the regular with quite a bit of hurt-feeling-instigated bitch-mode – eh?. …. and mis-measuring my very very well-measured responses to that, all along), …. and I am not going to remain in a relationship that is a bad joke like that. And once the woman makes up her mind like this, .. she is not changing it back. So there’s that.

    “The raising of children does not end when they are in high school/college, but if you handled the early years well, high school/college is a breeze, and today, my husband works, and I do whatever I want (within reason), after twenty plus years of non-stop (all day, everyday, every night – it does not stop) looking after everyone in my family, including parents/in-laws. That was my job – still is, but it’s much easier now.”

    OK, …. your general demeanor now makes a whole lot of sense. No wonder you have such a way, with feminine turns of phrases and such, … taking care of everybody, like you do. And you like it, I can tell. Because your influence is indispensable and you know it (as you should).

    “Also, anyone with half a brain knows the difference between trafficking and prostitution, in general. If a prostitute is under the age of 18, she’s a victim, especially if she was forced/coerced.”

    I think maybe AA meant by his meme: ‘This is Vagina Law’, …. as ‘the Law of the Vagina as felt by every woman, is the law that now one-sidedly prevails in the commons’. When I said, ‘yes I think that is true,’ … I was responding to AA’s implied meaning there. I looked at the photos of the prostitutes that AA provided before weighing-in. Those faces are not under-aged, as far as I can tell by way of photo, yet somehow ‘trafficking’ is involved. I thought, in the case of regular-aged prostitutes, the johns wouldn’t get charged with trafficking (just johning), but the pimps (if there is any involved, there doesn’t have to be, … all psychological, … the only reason for the pimp-gig is because the woman is so fucked-up she cannot do that prostitute gig and hold it straight, on her own … and then he is gonna just take all the money from her, though … kinda crazy) would get the trafficking charge. So I guess those few charged with trafficking were pimps, I guess? Of maybe there are minors involved in a few of the cases, as you suggest is the case, and johns then got charged with trafficking too, then? Could be.

    “That said, the age of consent in Mexico is 12”

    Yeah, … that is hard to understand. coming from Caucasian culture.

    “The loosening of sexual boundaries and expectations in modern society is wreaking havoc, i.e. single motherhood, and people without boundaries, responsibilities, morals, etc., often fail to form close, permanent bonds with a partner, and so they just drift…”

    Yes I agree. Some might say what a guy like me does, in the face of these new conditions, as I have described is: ‘Men Going their Own Way’ (checking out). I don’t look at it that way (I still look to it as, the conditions have changed, …. so I have to step up to these new conditions to be relationship-successful, …. and I know I have other priorities right now, .. but I am not giving up on any part of my potential future life, and why should I?). Look …. I think for men outside of actual marriages, …. what I am doing, is clearly probably now the norm (and not what Robert Lindsay, is doing, for instance).

    Yes, I had already recently come across that short Jordan Peterson clip myself. Dude knows westernism (as you say … very impressive in this way). Dude is bamboozled on the JQ (as you say). And his message is superb in that clip (and his overall messaging on westernism is very good and well-resonates), …. I try to have my two best friends see it this way, …. we need to collectively do better, which means we each must individually do better, with our singular voices and such, and it is sinful to turn your back on that human responsibility. Men do wan to refuse that, now though. The married men tend to wan to just get along, and the unmarried men tend to be very cynical in that respect, ….’nothing I can do about it’. I do challenge my friends. I expect alot from my friends (thoughtfulness).

    Well I am still friends with me ex-wife (that marriage relationship ended nearly 20 years ago). I really like her. Because she is very intelligent (and though emotional, like most all women, was never mean). You know, …family, ….for family-sake it is best to get along, for all involved, after a divorce, and she didn’t actually spurn me hard (didn’t decide to just start fucking around behind my back, that I understand, from others, is something that often happens in this dynamic), …. and of course my ex-wife, mainly being a very good person I think (I picked her after all, just as much as she picked me) … saw it exactly the same way, as far as family goes, …. we had a very dear son together, who unfortunately died suddenly at the age of 27, … 6 years ago now, …. who was just a treasure, …. who had developed into just such a well-nuanced-big-hearted person, …. I won’t go into the many many details as to his passing, ….. suffice to say this all happened to him within less than a two month period, …. culminating in a emergency surgery for stage 4 glioblastoma, which was not successful. This crushed my ex-wife (me too). We have a bond that can never be broken, around that.

    I don’t hold any ill-will towards my ex-wife at all (probably not even during the divorce, if I recall correctly). The divorce was a breeze. I found a lawyer that advised me, not to fight, go for what case-law has deemed fair (in terms of division of matrimonial property and such), … and once my ex met my lawyer, … she realized this approach was much much better and told her ‘let’s fight’ lawyer to stand down. You know, in many many ways, my ex is a stand-up person and I have no regrets, having her in my life. For all her employment gigs, she has always shown very high levels of loyalty to the hand the feeds. Put that together with her high level of professional competency. I think that combo is very commendable too.

    On the OCD thing. Maybe? I got this thing, …. if I really feel I have hurt someone in a way that will do no good (the ‘hurting’ behavior, all ego driven, on my side, let’s say) …. I really do start to feel many regrets, starting just a few minutes after, that just grows and grows and drives me to distraction. Is that OCD? Maybe. I don’t like to feel that way, … so I am quite guarded around: ‘trying hard not to go down that pathway’.

    Further to my last reply comment (#73), …. I realize now I should say more. Your comment has now made me realize I haven’t been entirely fair here, as to my ex-wife’s perspective, on all this, ….. and this is so important, all round. The stuff I said about what happened to me and my ex, in comment #66 above, …. I don’t blame my ex-wife for (not really even while it was happening). I probably should have said that, in that comment.

    Think it through. Me and my ex were/are people that have aptitude/ability to take on adult responsibility, and were willing on that front, …. in other words, pretty much a normal couple ‘contributing/partaking-of’ the normalized cultural gestalt (westerism, pretty much). And yet what happened to me and my ex, …. is so very common (among similar couples). In my asshole moments I blame Oprah Winfrey (hahaha!), …. a very very bad influence with respect to normalized western monogamous hetro relationships (for a good while there, near the beginning-midterm of our marriage, …. Oprah was crazy around that stuff, back then, and had a huge audience, including my ex, …. and I am not kidding, .. I think there is something to seeing it like Oprah poisoned my ex’s mind).

    But even blaming Oprah is a blame-out cop-out. Because it wasn’t/isn’t just Oprah. Oprah was just a reflection of what was already occurring out there, back then, in the culture. Brass tacks: It was all spawned by Jewish bogus but Academic nevertheless, ‘Critical Theory’ (I learned some years later, after the divorce). What I am saying is my ex-wife, someone smart and generally has her head screwed on right, and as such can see that by reason, much of the 2nd wave feminism was pure hogwash, …..still, cannot really put it together how that precise subversion, this 2nd wave Jewish feminism, works, and cannot really see that it is still impinging upon her subconsciously in ways that she is still not really aware. On this 2nd wave Jewish feminism … I am saying ‘Jewish’ here in terms of provenance, … who the scholars were in the Humanities offering this bunk, …. an attribution I am quite sure my ex-wife would not be willing to make, …. to her 2nd wave feminism is bad but definitely not ‘Jewish’, I think, ….. my ex-wife is very pro-Jewish, ….. but ever since covid-vaxxo-weirdness, …. smart cookie her and she works in the medical field, ……. she, I think, has subconsciously seen the writing on the wall and decided to no longer take any interest whatsoever on geopolitical matters, any more, ….. my ex was a political animal at one time, …. very conservative politically, and even co-ran-campaign-management for a winning MLA’s (member of our provincial legislature’s, campaigns), … so just to decide to go ‘no-go-politico’, …. well there is a subconscious unstated reason, I think (I don’t think she would even disagree that there is a subconscious unstated reason, but she doesn’t want to talk about it, and of course I respect that.)

    There are may avenues towards undoing all this cultural subversion. Discussion around the western normative man/woman dynamic, and what has since happened to it, … is one of many such avenues (and that is why I am bringing it up here).

    This isn’t new. To commemorate the Holocaust, Yad Vashem built a ‘Museum of Tolerance.’

    They insisted on using a Muslim cemetery as the site — bulldozed the graves.

    It’s one thing that makes me a little skeptical when we learn that the site of Treblinka mustn’t be excavated — the final resting places of all those Jews would be sacrosanct.

    Thinking this through a bit, … I might be a person that easily feels empathy, I suppose, …. and the shocking thing for me, on the cluster-b-type psycho-pathology of the fem-mode, …. is that there is no register of this empathy for these types (well there is sometimes in small measure, but it isn’t something that haunts them, let’s say, … if it occurs it passes very quickly), …. and so confusion abounds (on both sides of this equation, actually), …. and maybe people less empathic will not look at it this way (won’t be as shocked as I am).

    Mmmmm. Gotta think about this some more. Jewish tendency towards less empathy? Doesn’t really make sense. Jewish people obviously have outsized tender feelings (of the genuine kind I think), … I guess just selectively, I suppose. What is this weird Jewish ‘same-self’ or ‘self-same’, then, if not straight-up cluster-b-type psycho-pathology of the fem-mode? What’s the twist? Does the Jewish collective tend to believe that they are lost in a vast sea of the unknown amidst the infinity of the unknowable (provisioning them with the tools to impose ’empathy’ upon their own psyches), but as a Jewish collective experience though (instead of a human collective experience), and then hidden within an esoteric occultism, … rendering goys sub-human then, …. congenitally unable to appreciate this deep Jewish (but hidden/esoteric/occult) gestalt? Well, that would be preposterous (because goys already think in those terms long before Jews, it seems, ….. Greek Stoics and such, ….without the need/crutch of any occultism).

    It’s like there is some deep underlying ideological war being conducted right now, or something, that I can’t really make-out very clearly. I know what westernism is, but what the heck is westernism fighting exactly? (Akin to asking the question … ‘what is this contrary spirit, exactly as carried by ‘Jewdom/JQ/Israel/the-Judaic’?).

    Are you Canadian? I’m in Alberta. It seems like in Alberta, it is not uncommon to find people that think the official 9/11 narrative is wrong and that the perps may have included Mossad. Then these same people won’t go on to see the massive Jewish influence that is otherwise quite pervasive (so much more than 9/11, then), or if they do start to cotton on to that, will turn rather cynical and say, …. that’s just the way it is, human nature, ….. I guess sort of implying that: to those both eager and intelligent goes the spoils.

    Weird. People are willing to accept that the official 9/11 narrative may be a hoax, but then are also willing to isolate that finding in their minds (I suppose sort of like people accept that the CIA has to do what they do, and that the U.S., must have a big military). This is quite the trick. How does Mossad get that same tolerance-attribution in a whole lot of western people’s minds, sort of unspoken-like (of course they won’t say nice things about Mossad, …. but tolerate it just fine, like the do the CIA/American Military Complex) and why do these people then not immediately get freaked that their ‘CIA/American Military Complex’ are therefore implicated, …. with the shots on own goal, type-thing?

    Generally, especially since October 7th, I absolutely do find regular people to be quite schizophrenic (willing to hold many contrary beliefs for long periods of time), …. so much water under the bridge since 9/11, …. all this false-narrative promulgation of many stripes, just escalating and escalating in frequency, since then. Bright people like my ex-wife cannot bear the culturally-demanded level of schizophrenic mental-ordering, … and eventually turtle (many, many like that too …. just refuse to watch any news, even alternative news).

    What do you think can be done? Personally, …. I think if someone important, linked-up the common thread among all the false-narrative promulgation of many stripes, …. it might work.

    I have had some interesting convos over the years as to the idea that hybrid vigor is probably something necessary for the ongoing invigoration of each ethnicity that is in a sense in competition/collaboration with the others, … and that each such ethnic grouping probably has a different ‘ideal’ rate of said hybridization operation, (as we know from our long history of plant and animal breeding methods for fixing favorable phenotypes).

    But it is probable that that rate has been well-exceeded for all the ethnic groups involved in a place like Canada, and the U.S. So who knows what is going to emerge? Do you think it appropriate that North America not be the place this all happens in a big way though? If it has to happen somewhere, better here than in Europe, … the home of the root ethnicities. That’s my view. But we at least have to try to pick people that might get it (westernism), instead of the free for all in America (probably in Canada by now, too). I say that because the expectation would be that these such people could then eventually bring back westernism to their home countries (because you can’t force it on nations, … that’s not westernism then).

    Israel’s manpower crisis worsens as wave of resignations hits army

    The Israeli military has not responded to requests for comment.

    The resignations come as significant tension has overtaken Israel’s military establishment.

    Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has been calling for an end to draft exemptions for Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community, citing a severe manpower crisis in the army. Gallant said he would only support legislation to settle the issue if certain members of the ruling coalition backed it.

    “The army is in need of manpower now. It’s not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of mathematics,” the defense minister said on Sunday.

    …However…

    Mass exodus threatened by Chief Rabbi if Haredim are forced into military service

    The Chief Rabbi’s stern message did not stop at criticisms but extended to a direct threat of collective action. “We will buy tickets; there is no such thing as forcing us into the army. The state stands on this,” he asserted, implying a profound and widespread willingness among the Haredim to relocate rather than compromise on their religious convictions.

    I started to answer you this morning but was diverted by a tub faucet diverter.
    More water was not being diverted to the shower than was, and my wife was
    fed up with my procrastination. Now she’s happy, at least until tomorrow.

    Obsessions are common but most are temporary unwanted thoughts that keep
    recurring for a day or two and then fade away. A common obsession concerns
    an ex-wife’s behavior, usually her sexual activity. Sexual jealousy is likely hard-
    wired in everyone, although I remember a guy who solicited dates for his ex
    in hopes of reducing his alimony and child support.

    If an obsession with an ex wife caused a man to drive by her house 10 times a
    night, that would turn an obsession into an obsessive-compulsive disorder,
    since he has now acted on his obsession and cannot stop the behavior.

    As you might guess some people deal with the breakup trauma by compulsive
    gambling, drug or alcohol use. Many work longer hours to distract themselves,
    but at some point most look for a new relationship.
    When I was a state social worker there was a cruel joke that the only love
    relationship that was guaranteed to last was one of unrequited love.

    It is a fact that obsessions frequently involve ex spouses and that’s

    intensity of the marital bond, which cannot be broken without
    a profound sense of loss and emptiness.

    I should say, we both did that (and that’s a long time ago now). In the end, we both dropped that too. Really, … she is just my friend (and ‘just’ is the wrong word, … it is a very good thing to be my friend, I think) and she sees it the same way (very good thing to be her platonic friend). What I give, and what she gives, are different. And that is fine.

    Truth be told, … I want her to be happy. I hope she can find romantic (if that’s the right word?) happiness again. She seems pretty jaded, to that, though.

    Ron,

    I am not sure how to move subthreads over to this new Open Thread, so I am just posting here my response to a comment by Mark G. (see here).
    ———
    Mark G. wrote to me:

    No matter how much of a Jew hater you are, there is almost always someone else here in the Unz comment section who is even a bigger Jew hater than you are.

    Yeah, it’s weird.

    I have been very critical of Jews who are part of the “Israel Lobby” simply because they are damaging the United States, not to mention what they are doing to the Palestinians. And I am harshly critical of Judaism because the Old Testament really is a seminal source for killing people because they hold the wrong religious beliefs.

    And yet our little Fed Truth Vigilante thinks he can make points with most of the posters here by claiming, falsely, that I am a Jew, just because I reject nonsense such as that the Twin Towers’ collapse was caused by a nuclear explosion.

    And, weirdest of all, he thinks he can score points by accusing me of being “a serial offender in falsifying data” *(see here), even though he knows everyone will know that is a lie.: he of course offers no evidence at all for that lie, and anyone who looks at my thesis can see that I was not reporting my own data but rather comparing data gathered by others to theoretical predictions.

    So I think the key question is: why does Truth Vigilante do it?

    The answer seems pretty obvious: the 911 attacks occurred as blowback as a result of disastrous US government policies pursued in the Mideast. Anyone who faces the truth about 911 — that this was a Muslim terrorist attack in response to US actions in the Mideast — has to think about those US actions.

    But, if we pretend that the Twin Towers came down for some other reason than a a retaliatory attack by Muslims, that distracts attention from the real issue of US Mideast policy.

    And that is clearly what Truth Vigilante and the whole 911 Truther movement is doing.

    They are serving the interest of the US Deep State.

    Was the 911 Truther movement created by the Deep State? Is it funded by the Deep State?

    Hard to say.

    Are a number of the members of the 911 Truther movement in fact knowing, active assets of the Deep State?

    Well, this would be the first time in over a half century that the Deep State did not have assets within fringe dissident groups!

    And given how effectively the 911 Truther movement deflects attention from the real cause of the 911 attacks — US policy in the Mideast — it is hard to see how any sensible person could deny Deep State involvement.

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

    Mark G. also wrote:

    You pretty much have to turn yourself into an admirer of Hitler to escape their wrath.

    I assume that you saw that in response to that comment, Truth Vigilante wrote (see here):

    But in RELATIVE TERMS, Hitler was BY FAR the standout world statesman of the 20th century.

    So Truth Vigilante is indeed claiming openly to be a Hitler-lover.

    Again, why would he do this?

    Even if this is in fact Truth Vigilante’s true belief, this is hardly an effective means to convince ordinary people of his decency, honesty, or good will!

    What does this achieve?

    Only to cause ordinary people to be alienated from critics of the US Deep State, because such critics seem to be, quite literally, announcing that they are admirers of Hitler!

    Is Truth Vigilante so delusional that he does not realize this, or is he doing it on purpose?

    Hard to say.

    What is not hard to say is that this most assuredly serves the interest of the Deep State.

    My old friend Murray Rothbard was involved in the antiwar movement back in the 1960s, and he got to know a fellow whom he referred to as “Comrade Carlos” who behaved very much as our own Truth Vigilante behaves. As Murray says (see here, pp. 199-200 (or pp. 224-225 in the pdf numeration)):

    And, oh yes, I heard later that Comrade Carlos had turned out to be a police agent

    Yep, the spitting image of our own Truth Vigilante.

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…’

    Well, mere stupidity can also explain things — the improbable belief or action is not in and of itself evidence of a deep-laid plot.

    Take, say, Wilhelmine Germany’s decision to build a high seas fleet and challenge the British. It was incredibly foolish, and directly counter to Germany’s material interests.

    Does it follow that British or French double agents must have somehow bamboozled the poor Germans into building it? The building of the fleet certainly served France’s interests.

    So certainly the more radical forms of 9-11 trutherism serve Israel’s interests. It doesn’t follow that she has to do anything to encourage them. In fact any novel catastrophe will provoke radical explanations: Pearl Harbor, the 1944 German Ardennes offensive, Kennedy’s assassination, AIDS, the death of Princess Diana, the 2000 election, 9-11, the 2016 election, the Corona Virus, the 2020 election…

    I subscribe at least partially to some of the resulting theories — but the point is that they will always appear. One no more needs to deliberately foster them than one has to sow weed seeds in the back yard.

    They will come — all by themselves. With something like 9-11, they were inevitable. It’d have been weird if they hadn’t sprung up.

    We used to just file unexpected or catastrophic events under ‘God,’ apologize and ask Him nicely not to do it again, pick up the pieces, and get on with life. Now we invent the conspiracy theory. No one has to help us, either. We’re good at it.

    Well, mere stupidity can also explain things — the improbable belief or action is not in and of itself evidence of a deep-laid plot.

    My point is that the US Deep State has a very, very long and well-documented record of establishing assets within dissident movements, going back to COINTELPRO in the 1960s and as recently as the goofy Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot.

    Pretty much as certain as death and taxes.

    It is therefore certain beyond any reasonable doubt that the Deep State has some assets within the 911 Truther movement.

    The only serious question is: who are the Federal assets in the 911 Truther movement? Truth Vigilante? Rurik? Gaffney?

    In the case of Truth Vigilante, the tell-tale is his claiming that I have been”a serial offender in falsifying data” *(see here): he does not even pretend to have any evidence at all of this, and he could not have any evidence, since anyone can see that my Ph.D. thesis does not report on any experimental data that I took but merely compares other people’s data to theoretical predictions.

    Truth Vigilante knows he is lying about this.

    This cannot be explained by, as you say, “mere stupidity”: it is intentional, conscious lying.

    The only question is: what is Truth Vigilante’s motive?

    The only plausible motive I can think of is that Truth Vigilante wants to smear any movement that dissents from the mainstream narrative by hurling out obvious lies.

    Is there any other plausible motive? Why else would he openly, knowingly, and brazenly lie in a way that any sane person can see is a lie?

    Does this prove that Truth Vigilante is a paid Federal asset? Well, that is certainly a plausible conclusion — as I pointed out above, all historical experience indicates that there are indeed Federal assets within the 911 Truther movement.

    But, paid or not, it does prove that Truth Vigilante is serving the purpose of the US Deep State.

    For all practical purposes, Truth Vigilante is indeed a Fed, whether paid or not.

    It serves the interests of the US Deep State to distract dissidents with nonsense like this so that they ignore the elephant in the living room: the fact that the 911 tragedies were in fact brought about by Muslim terrorists as “blowback” against longstanding US policy in the Mideast.

    That is what the 911 Truther movement is doing. And Truth Vigilante is a maestro at this.

    This is a critical goal for the US Deep State.

    There really is no serious doubt about this.

    An you’ll see, Truth Vigilante will not try to seriously refute these points: he will just, once again, insist that I am a Jew, as if that somehow disproves what he himself is proven to have done.

    And, bizarrely, some of his dupes — his “useful idiots” — will swallow this.

    You gotta admit: this is certainly entertaining! Get some popcorn and enjoy the show!

    But Mr Wrong, how the f*ck do you know what constitutes ‘radical trutherism’ and what constitutes ‘plausible trutherism’.
    In the tens of thousands of comments related to 9/11 in UR threads over recent years, your input (assuming there was any), was negligible at best.
    Admittedly, the comments section of the UR threads is not the be-all and end-all of 9/11 research, but your juvenile remarks on the 9/11 False Flag have emphatically demonstrated that you’ve done NEXT TO NO OBJECTIVE RESEARCH on this heinous crime.
    And, to the extent that you know ‘something’, it is what you’ve absorbed from the propaganda peddled by the corrupt ZOG owned MSM.

    SUMMARY: The 9/11 False Flag was a NO EXPENSE SPARED extremely elaborate operation that deliberately left a ‘trail of evidence’ that implicated non guilty parties (like the Saudis, Pakistan’s ISI to name just two).

    It deliberately used never before used technology in both the electronic commandeering of the four aircraft alleged to have crashed that day and in the demolition of the WTC towers.
    Those peddling misdirection like Fizzy-cyst Dovid about Oscar’s Razor or Occam’s Shaver, do so on purpose – because they were instructed to do so by their handlers.
    Because, by peddling the line of KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid), Fizzy Dov is implying that no entity would arrange an operation with added complexity when it could’ve applied a myriad of other, far simpler processes to achieve a similar result.

    But one should never lose sight of the fact that the ZOG perpetrators of this False Flag are not garden variety criminals with finite budgets and finite capabilities. They can finance any operation they can dream up with the printing press (ie: ownership/control of the U.S Federal Reserve and the other major western central banks),.
    They have at their disposal the full gamut of military and technological capabilities in the arsenal of the Anglo Zionist empire.
    And on that fateful day they used it.

  111. @PhysicistDave

    In the case of Truth Vigilante, the tell-tale is his claiming that I have been”a serial offender in falsifying data”

    This is the third or fourth time Fizzy-cyst Dovid has whined about the exposure of his less-than-illustrious tenure at Sanford and Son university.
    UR readers, I ask you this, if the allegations had no merit, of course Fizzy Dov would ignore them and not make an issue out of it.

    But it really gets under his skin. The fact that he could be exposed as an academic fraud has entailed many a sleepless night.
    Now readers, let me put things in context. You’ve all observed how Fizzy Dov has stooped to the most egregious of lies in trying to defend the USG/NIST version of how the WTC towers collapsed on 9/11.
    He had not hesitation in twisting and contorting the Newtonian Laws of Motion to make them say something they clearly don’t.

    Readers, do you really think such a conscience-free individual would not resort to scientific fraud?
    I wouldn’t put anything past this low life. He is capable of anything.

    Yes, yes, I do urge everyone to watch the video — it is quite funny and very well done — and keep in mind that Dom Frisby is a comedian: the whole point of the video is that Frisby is making fun of conspiracy nuts such as Truth Vigilante.

    There are many giveaways in the video that it is actually, very funny, satire aimed at fellas like Truth Vigilante: for example, the line:

    It is rumoured they are aliens
    Some form of reptile.

    But, in my opinion, the funniest line was:

    I want to be in the same gang as Beyoncé

    I mean, she is really not all that talented: how else to explain her success… except that we Illuminati have pushed her to the heights?

    Dom Frisby is, like me, an anarcho-captialist (see here), and he loves the crazy fringies like Truth Vigilante just as much as I do.

    Every movement needs its balladeers: the Old Left had Woody Guthrie, the ’60s antiwar movement had Dylan and Baez… and we libertarian anarchists have the great Dominic Frisby!

    Our little Hitler-lover ended his comment by saying:

    That video encapsulates everything you need to know about this repugnant individual called Dovid Miller.

    Yes, yes, you bet — Dom Frisby is me!

    I mean, he’s not literally me, of course, but we are, like, soul brothers!

    Or am I really Dom Frisby — how would you know? And is the video really satire or is that just protective cover we Illuminati are using to throw all you bloodhounds off the scent? Is Dominic Frisby really a member of the Illuminati?

    And, by the way, this Friday — the Ides of March — we Illuminati are having a little get-together to immanentize the Eschaton. It will be a day that will go down in history: they will say, “It was the day they immanentized the Eschaton!”*

    Frisby was a little over the top in that video in mentioning the ‘shape shifting reptilians’ and such, but he included that on purpose.

    But the reality is that Frisby is one very clued-in individual. He knows that ZOG controls the entirety of the western financial system, he knows that Bill Gates is up to no good and that the ZOG hierarchy do indeed have a depopulation agenda.

And, of course the admission by Larry Silvertongue – “Pull it!” And, “My wife made an appointment with a doctor for me, unknown to me, until that very morning, and both my spawn, Thanks be to Moloch, were running late that very morning!”

    So, America/media- finds a passport, which survived the blast/implosion/whatever, whilst nearly nothing else remained intact; determines the identities/guilt of the perpetrators within hours; reports the fall of building 7, before it falls; a street “witness” notices the plane was a “United” issue from the ground; there is no significant debris at the Pentagon, nor the Shanksville, crash sites – “Aircraft debris from United Airlines Flight 93 was likewise found in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Wallace Miller, the former coroner for Somerset County, where Shanksville is located, has said that only 8% of the human remains were ever recovered because the plane exploded when it crashed at 570 miles per hour.
    Everything vaporized on impact,” Miller said” – whilst someone else said, “There was nothing there – it was just a hole/scar in the dirt” – the dancing Israelis, dressed as Arabs, were turned loose; the family of Osama Bin Laden, in America, were permitted to leave America; the rubble at Ground Zero was shipped off, immediately, without inspection/analysis, to China (or who knows where, really?)…..what else? Yes, nothing suspicious with the official story.

    Zion = (Hebrew: צִיּוֹן Ṣīyyōn, LXX Σιών, also variously transliterated Sion,[1] Tzion, Tsion, Tsiyyon)[2] is a placename in the Hebrew Bible, often used as a synonym for Jerusalem[3][4] as well as for the Land of Israel as a whole.

    The term Tzion came to designate the area of Davidic Jerusalem where the Jebusite fortress stood, and was used as well as synecdoche for the entire city of Jerusalem; and later, when Solomon’s Temple was built on the adjacent Mount Moriah (which, as a result, came to be known as the Temple Mount), the meanings of the term Tzion were further extended by synecdoche to the additional meanings of the Temple itself, the hill upon which the Temple stood, the entire city of Jerusalem, the entire biblical Land of Israel, and “the World to Come”, the Jewish understanding of the afterlife.

    ‘…It is not true that Zionism equals Jewishness.’

    It’s close to being equal. Jews have a decided taste for iconoclasm (or subversion), so of course a few Jews are going to oppose Zionism. ‘Two Jews, three opinions,’ as they say. You could drum up a constituency for banning electric lighting among Jews. Just point out to them that most Jews are for it.

    That’s the way they are.

    However, in my experience, most Jews support Israel — albeit often reluctantly. Bernie Sanders is pretty typical of the Left end of the spread: ‘why can’t Israel be nice.’

    But there should be an Israel — that’s the story with 90% of all Jews. And if you think there should be an Israel, you’re a Zionist.

    I have actually seen some of it. I visited Lebanon and travelled down to the border, where there is a large wall which however does not stop missiles etc. From a height it was possible to see countryside, but no human being or Zionist was visible. A Lebanese said to me that down there was Jalil. I did not immediately understand that what he meant was what we call Galilee in English.

    I bought the thing about raising the retirement age — until I read an article about a guy who made his living changing truck tires. Ever seen someone take a truck tire off a rim? It’s fine for fit twenty-forty somethings — not necessarily feasible on a forty-hour-a-week basis if you’re sixty-something.

    Dude needed his Social Security — and I can relate. Every now and then I do something that really wears me out — and I realize that thirty years ago, I wouldn’t have even thought of it as hard work. My wife is impressed by how strong I still am; I’m not.

    So let’s face facts. Not all people wisely save for retirement, or follow some career path that has them sitting behind a desk by the time they enter their golden years. Ben Shapiro may not need his Social Security by the time he’s sixty five — but others will.

    Foer was born in 1974 in Washington, D.C. to a Jewish family.[2][3] He is the son of Albert Foer, a lawyer, and Esther Safran Foer, the child of Holocaust survivors from Poland. He is the elder brother of novelist Jonathan Safran Foer and freelance journalist Joshua Foer.[4]

    There is pretty much nothing worse than listening to a jew, recount the history of the jews, the oppression of the jews, the importance of the jews, etc. Seriously, when some of these jews decide to go “full-jew” about jewish matters, you get the most absurd take in history. i.e. it almost always ends with lampshades and bars of soap.

    You know what would be an interesting task for some AI system? “AI, show me everything the jews have ever said about the jews”

    When you get married, you are paying a woman to have sex with her for life.

    Sounds like something a “never been married” man would say… Sure, you’ll screw like bunnies for the first few years, if you’re lucky, but then it slows down, and at first it will bother you, and then later, you won’t care that much about it either.

    Marriage can be a great blessing, obviously, and one of those “Blessings” can be that you, the man, eventually stops thinking like a 14 year old horny toad, and learn that there is actually more to life than screwing 24/7.

    That said, enjoy it while you can, because later in life, you’ll stop even remembering why it was the only thing you thought about for the first 30-something years of your life.

    That’s when you finally start to “get wise” about the real ways of the world.

    So unless Caltech professors have been coerced into totally watering down their coursework over the last couple of years, I think it’s very likely I’ll be proven correct and they’ll do the same within the next year or two.

    Well… Caltech is generally known to be a very weird place: I suppose it is possible that applicants will self-select, so that students who apply are generally those who can survive.

    We’ll see.

    Personally, as I have said many times, I am in favor of razing all the colleges and universities in the country to the ground.

    And then sowing the ground with salt.

    The current higher-educational model simply makes no sense — a student can learn enormously more from a good library system and, of course, from the Internet than the vast majority of students do learn even at elite schools like Stanford and Harvard, if the student is strongly focused on learning.

    And this is true even of MIT and Caltech.

    I taught myself Special Relativity in junior high, and I was self-taught in calculus in high school (our school back then did not offer a calculus course). Similarly, I am self-taught in Galois-field theory, a subject in which I have earned patents.

    Isn’t it true that I am much smarter than most people? Sure, but most people do not aspire to learn Galois-field theory! If you’re smart enough to understand it, you can indeed teach it to yourself, if you have access to appropriate books and, now, Internet resources.

    Above all, it takes hard work, very, very hard work. As I have mentioned, I am currently writing a book that derives the key results in General Relativity using only first-year calculus. I have therefore been going over Einstein’s classic papers on General Relativity.

    I have lost count of how many, very serious, errors Einstein made- not just factors of two or pi, but deep conceptual errors.

    But he never gave up.

    And so he fixed the errors and finally developed what seems to be the correct theory, as the result of nearly a decade of very, very hard work.

    This is the opposite of the current educational model: students at Stanford or Harvard or even MIT or Caltech figure that they earned an “A” in quantum mechanics or electromagnetism or whatever and so they think they “had” quantum mechanics or electromagnetism.

    No, they had a brief, a very brief, overview of quantum mechanics or electromagnetism. Unless they really struggled to understand the subject, unless they themselves ran into various sources of confusion, various counter-intuitive features, they do not understand quantum mechanics or electromagnetism.

    We’re seeing that here on unz.com with multiple moronic posters who think they understand how to apply Newton’s Third Law of Motion. They obviously don’t, but, sadly, many of them probably were given a passing grade in some physics course, basically because the instructor can’t flunk ninety percent of the class.

    Even though he really should.

    The whole American educational system, from kindergarten through Ph.D., should be torn down and put on a bonfire.

    And everyone should be told that learning any serious subject is a hell of a lot harder than training for the varsity football team.

    And that if you don’t want to go to that excruciating effort, that is really fine… but then you will continue to be the ignoramus that you were born as.

    On the whole they are nice enough people — hard-working, good neighbors, etc.

    But they have their blind spots. And Israel is one of them.

    If every single American Jews came to his senses — perhaps because he realized the disaster into which Bibi is leading Israel — we would still have the majority of Zionists, the Evangelicals.

    And there is no sign they will ever come to their senses. Again, I know them — these were “my people.”

    If the 9/11 attacks were not really blowback by Muslims who were enraged by US terrorism in the Mideast, if the 9/11 attacks were really engineered by Mossad or by some rogue operation in the US government, then everyone could just forget about the crimes carried out by the US regime over so many decades.

    It is your goal — your very purpose in life — to draw innocent people down a rabbit hole about some crack-pot conspiracy theories — the Illuminati and all the rest — so that they will be distracted from the very real, and very public, crimes that the US regime has openly committed.

    Well, Shapiro did appear to make an exemption in his comment for those in poor health. When Social Security was originated, the average life expectancy was 65 and the retirement age was set at 65. That worked. It does not work when people live to 78 and those people did not have enough children that can then be taxed to help pay for the system. It was always a Ponzi scheme.

    I am 67 and still working but am aware not everyone can do that. We certainly do not need our trillion dollar military and can get some money there. Of course, neocons like Shapiro would oppose that. The typical liberal solution for this and all our other problems is raise taxes on the rich. Raising taxes, though, can be a disincentive to work hard. Tax increases hit all rich people equally and do not distinguish between productive people and parasites.

    TTTT, I think you’re reading too much into this.

    After all, Dovid Miller (aka Fizzy-cyst Dovid), assured me that Larry Silverstain is one of the good guys, that Lucky Larry has devoted his remaining days (beginning straight after being awarded the lease to the World Trade Centre complex in July 2001), to the betterment of the lives of his fellow Americans.
    Dovid insists that all the anomalies you mentioned about the 9/11 False Flag can be explained by his Orwellian interpretation of the Newtonian Laws of Motion.

    Like the junk yard proprietors Sanford and Son on that 1970’s TV show, Dovid Miller assures us that his junk science is not to be questioned, since his wisdom was derived from Sanford and Son university.
    He does have a Phd (Phony Doctorate), and everything we’ve heard from him in his defence of the bogus USG/NIST explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers, is testament to that phoniness.

    BTW TTTT, don’t expect Fizzy Dov to engage with you on the 9/11 False Flag. Earlier in this thread (comment # 15), Dr Kevin Barrett slapped down Dovid Miller’s nonsensical propaganda on 9/11, and Dovid Miller ran off and hid under a rock. He’ll do likewise for you Tippy Toe lady, because he’s too much of a coward to address anything you’ve written.

    Also, take note of how Fizzy Dov began his comment # 113, when he responded to me with:

    Our self-admitted Hitler-lover (see here) Truth Vigilante wrote to me ….

    He wrote this after I made the irrefutably true statement that the crimes of Hitler’s Germany pale into insignificance in comparison to the heinous atrocities committed by the Anglo Zionist empire during WWII.

    Dovid Miller keeps insisting that he’s not a Jew, but I ask you UR readers, what goyim responds this way to anyone giving a positive appraisal of Hitler?
    I mean, even those gullible goys that have been duped by the constant ZOG propaganda through watching Swindler’s List and other Spielberg productions, even they would never respond this way and accuse you of being a Hitler-lover.
    Yes, they might politely say that what I’ve said contrasts with what they’ve heard about the plight of Jewry during that conflict, they’ll ask you to explain Hitler’s alleged Final Solution/the gas chambers/the 6 million dead/the lampshades and soap made from Jewish foreskins etc.

    BUT ONLY A MALEVOLENT JEW like Dovid Miller would come back with this standard knee-jerk response – just like they taught him to always defend the (((tribe))) in that yeshiva he attended.
    Whenever someone gives Hitler even the mildest of praise or when doubt is expressed over the Holohoax, all good Jews are instructed to go into attack dog mode.

    Yes, I know as pull it! could mean all sorts of things, especially in the context of a burning building, or rather a few office fires, when there’s already been so many lives lost. Since when does a Fire Chief take direction from a Silvertongue Real Estate Guru?

    So, the Arabs were pissed at America for meddling in the Middle East prior to 2001? When have the Arabs maintained their spheres of influence only within the Middle East? They did quite a bit of meddling themselves, certainly within southern Europe; I think Eastern Europe, as well, until European barbarians (Germans) had had enough. It seems to me that the U.S. only began to act with impunity in the Middle East after 911, or the meddling was certainly intensified afterwards, as well as the ability of the American government to spy/monitor American citizens in the name of “security.” If I’m not mistaken, immigration of Muslims increased after 911. The official mumbo-jumbo makes no sense. Building 7 makes no sense whatsoever.

    So, let’s say the Middle Eastern/Arab men did it, which they didn’t. They trained on prop planes, yet were capable of flying passenger jets? Have you ever seen the interior of a passenger jet cockpit? I knew several jet pilots still in military training in the mid-late 90’s, so I’m somewhat familiar with the rigor based on their comments/stories, and there’s no way those Arab nimrods could maneuver those jets. And, as we know/knew who the pilots were, why haven’t they been arrested?

    PD and I already had a 911 exchange, and it did not go well. Personally, I think he has a few suspicions, as anyone with a reasonably advanced intellect and critical thinking skills can discern many anomalies with what occurred, even if they can’t explain it in the language of physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. A fire can be extinguished with sound waves; it’s a thing to behold, and it seems like magic, but it’s not too difficult to speculate how that works and draw a nearly correct conclusion before looking it up to confirm, whilst certain people could care less, or can’t begin to fathom how it’s possible, and certain others believe it is magic. America now has too many citizens within the latter three categories, which is why we are circling the drain.

    …a fundamental problem, though, is that the whole thing is billed as a pension scheme. You put money in, and you get your money ‘back.’ Of course, what you get back bears only the slightest relationship to what you put in — but the end result is that every old gaffer who would be perfectly well-off anyway becomes outraged if you suggest taking away ‘his’ social security.

    We’d be better off if we’d frankly billed it as what it always was: a tax to provide welfare for old people who couldn’t or didn’t make adequate provision for their dotage. After all, that certainly should exist in any humane society. No reason we can’t call it what it is.

While Islamist terrorist attacks presumably are motivated by Islamic texts and teachings, if you take out 9/11, which had a massive Jewish role, the scale of atrocities by ragtag Islamist militias in recent decades simply doesn’t compare to the scale of all the death and destruction inflicted by Zion and its American agents and meat-puppets on Afghanistan, Iraq, and the rest of the Muslim world. Israel is inherently the weaker party when compared to all the nearby Muslim countries put together, and our propping up of Israel via warfare has been disastrous for that region.

    I can’t speak for Truthers, and I don’t know what they generally believe about the aircraft.

    I was not there, but I know what I saw on film; I know what I heard on audio. One particular unknown witness proclaims, as the plane is flying overhead, on film/audio, “Did you see that United plane?” I watched the footage filmed from his/their field of vision, and I can’t see how the airline was determined.

    I also know, for certain, that a building does not collapse in the same manner as a building does during a demolition due to a few office fires. I also know what the term “pull it” means. I know how long it takes to wire a building to pull it. I know Fire Chiefs do not seek advice from real estate moguls, in general.

    The media solved the mystery of Who Done It? quite handily. If there had been a serious investigation into what occurred, Larry and DidYouSeeTheUnitedPlane Guy would be in the Hot Seat on Day Two. And, the Dancing Israelis would not have been released, nor would the family members of Osama Bin Laden been permitted to leave America.

    I have heard from pilots that flying and maneuvering jets at a low altitude is not really part of the general training guidelines, as most of the maneuvering occurs at higher altitudes.

    Did Mossad assess the Arab hijackers’ piloting abilities and make sure they were good enough for flying planes into skyscrapers? Did Mossad train or command any of the hijackers?

    Who knows?

    Do you know that America trains foreign pilots at American military bases? I don’t know the selection criteria for those pilots, but I know for certain many are not Americans, as my former roommate went through a “hot pilot” phase in college, so they were at our townhouse all the time, and obviously, the US military is a sieve.

    Regardless of who planned the “plane attack,” which must have been years in the planning, why not select a few Muslim pilots already trained for military craft? Why such a clumsy choice of obviously inept yahoos, who leave an obvious trail with their prop plane training? I suggest they chose the yahoos to make it appear as if the planners were just mostly disgruntled, resentful, anti-American Muslims, who managed to pull off the crime of the century, second only to the so-called Holocaust, by the skin of their teeth, so there, we solved it, easy-peasy. A highly trained pilot would suggest serious infiltration into the American military.

    There is a former flight attendant, I don’t recall her name, who wrote a book on the numerous inconsistencies with the official narrative from the standpoint of the hijacking and violation of protocols. I didn’t read her book, but I heard her speak. It’s an interesting perspective. In any case, I don’t believe the hijackers flew those planes into anything.

    An unincorporated inner suburb of Saint Louis known as Affton. I was a couple years behind the actor John Goodman at Affton High, and so I have performed on-stage with John: I was one of three backup singers to John in the song “It Takes a Woman” in our school production of Hello, Dolly!. John has a Kevin Bacon number of one, and so I would have a Kevin Bacon number of two… if amateur stage productions counted!

    All of which impresses most people more than the fact that I took classes from or worked with five Nobel laureates.

    I taught myself Special Relativity from Hermann Bondi’s wonderful little book, Relativity and Common Sense, which our local library happened to own. I had to teach myself algebra in order to understand the book, since I had not yet had algebra in school.

    I learned the very basic ideas of Galois-field theory from some math book I read in high school whose name I’ve forgotten (Galois fields are the finite fields that obey the same algebraic rules as the rationals and real numbers). I never took a course in the subject. After I got my Ph.D. and went out into industry, which I was forced to do by the Zionist professors at Stanford who kicked me out of academic physics, I found out, to my amazement, that Galois-field theory had practical application in error-correction systems: my patents (e.g., see here for and here) employ Galois-field theory.

    One of the great virtues of Caltech is that the faculty assumed that, if we had been admitted to ‘Tech, we could learn anything we needed to learn on the fly. So, for example, I spent one summer working on a large program with a very complex memory-management system that was modeling the interaction of elementary particles with a large detector located at Fermilab (this was in the old days of Fortran 66): the professor, Frank Sciulli, told me what developments were needed in the program and told me to figure out how the program worked and to ask any questions if I needed to.

    And so I just did it. Sciulli assumed I could. (He was not, however, real keen on my suggestion that I modify the entire program to embody Hagedorn theory, which was a precursor of string theory. He was right about that, though it would have been interesting.)

    You see what I mean about ‘Tech being an unusual place. My general point is that the sort of student who chooses to go to ‘Tech really can do this: I was far from unique among ‘Techers.

    Well, it won’t happen that dramatically, of course. But our current education system, both K-12 and higher-ed, were designed in the age of the general store, literally before there were department stores or supermarkets, much less amazon.com.

    For various reasons — government operation and ownership or heavy government subsidies, the inertia built into certification processes, etc. — we now have an education system that is more than a century out of date. No one would design the system this way from scratch today, now that we have the Web, live-streaming, and all the rest.

    But it is hard to alter institutions that are not part of the market. One of the biggest virtues of the market is that it can gently put businesses out of their misery when they no longer serve any real purpose — as happened, of course, to such once major corporations as PanAm, Montgomery Ward, TWA, etc.

    Non-market organizations — religions, educational institutions, and, above all, governments — tend to require rather more disruptive events to be terminated. You need a Reformation, a revolution, etc.

    Existing educational institutions no longer serve human needs. Somehow, they will eventually be dismantled. I hope it comes sooner rather than later, for the benefit of taxpayers, and, above all, students, who are wasting years of their lives in these outdated institutions.

    I’m entranced by my latest idea — if only because the truth so often lies in the middle.

    Someone — Arab or Israeli — could have planted beacons in the targets. Such a device would be relatively inconspicuous and seemingly innocuous — and it could make the pilot’s job relatively easy. You’re on the glide path onto the runway into the target. Airliners are built to make this easy.

    Al Qaeda came up with the plan. Israel’s representatives within the organization improved it. Let’s make sure you don’t miss the frigging buildings entirely.

    You forget about the Evangelicals. Almost all Evangelicals are Zionists.

    And, as a matter of simple arithmetic, because there are enormously more Evangelicals than Jews in the country, most Zionists are Evangelical Christians.

    I’m very skeptical that the Evangelicals have had much to do with America’s support for Israel.

    If you consider all the dozens of ideological issues important to Evangelicals over the last half-century, I’d say they’ve been politically defeated on virtually all of them, often to such an extent that American society today is “worse” that their worst-case scenario of even just a couple of decades ago. Just consider “transgenderism.”

    The sole exception to that universal record of defeat is support for Israel, which strongly suggests that their numbers and political power have little to do with that victory.

    By contrast, I’d say that Jewish activist groups have won about 70-80% of all their political battles over the last half-century, including support Israel.

    So empirically, I think the two correlations provide a good sense of which group is probably more responsible.

    Here’s a related thought-experiment. The early Zionists strongly considered the British offer to establish their Jewish state in Uganda rather than Palestine. Assuming they’d done so, I’d think a great deal of “friction” would have developed over the generations with their African neighbors, much like it did with the Palestinians. And partly as a consequence, I’d suspect that the racial policy and politics in America today would be unimaginably different…

    Colin Wright wrote to me:

    Technically, that’s irrelevant to the validity of your original claim.

    Almost all Evangelicals could have gills and be able to breathe under water.

    What would remain true is that most Jews support Israel — however unhappily. Ergo, most Jews are Zionists.

    Now, admit that you’re wrong and that I’m right, and we’ll all be happy.

    Nope — you’re wrong. As a matter of elementary mathematics.

    I take it that you did not legitimately pass sixth-grade math?

    Our initial exchange was:

    [Dave] ‘…It is not true that Zionism equals Jewishness.’

    [Colin] It’s close to being equal

    Now, if ninety percent of Zionists were Jews and ten percent were Evangelicals, then it would be fair to say that Zionism and Jewishness were “close to being equal.”

    But, given that the number of Evangelicals is several times the number of Jews and, of course, that most Jews and most Evangelicals are Zionists, it follows as a matter of simple math that the number of Zionists vastly exceeds the number of Jews.

    Not at all “close to being equal.”

    What probably is true ts that American Jews provide most of the “mnoneybags” for the Zionist movement. Evangelicals do fork over some money, but there is good reason to think it is much less: Mearsheimer and Walt discuss this in The Israel Lobby.

    On the other hand, money alone does not win elections, as Hillary found out in 2016.

    You need votes.

    And what politicians care about, above all else, is winning elections. The power of the Israel lobby consists of their ability to defeat politicians in elections.

    And the Jewish vote is pretty small.

    But the Evangelical vote is huge.

    I know that most of the commenters here are hypnotized by Jewish money.

    But votes win elections.

    So, the fact that most American Zionists are Evangelicals really does matter: if the Evangelicals were ever to turn against Zionism (around the time Hell freezes over!), the Zionists would be toast.

    As usual, the real fault lies within your and my own ethnic group.

    But most commenters here want to evade that basic fact and so spend their time tilting at windmills.

    Funny guys. In a pathetic sort of way.

    I’m not making any abstruse claim about measuring power levels: it is just simple arithmetic.

    You did not grow up among Evangelicals, did you?

    As I said, I did: these are “my people.”

    And a very, very easy way to get them to vote against someone is to convince them that that candidate is anti-Israel.

    And there are tens of millions of Evangelicals in America.

    Now, of course, if there were a comparably large voting bloc on the other side, the massive size of the Evangelical voting bloc might not be decisive.

    That is the case on abortion, on which most of us Americans are moderately pro-choice.

    Hence, the fact that most Evangelicals are pro-life is not enough to give them easy victories — even after they succeeded in getting Roe overturned (and Roe was indeed legally a bad decision, even though most of us were satisfied with its results), the Evangelicals are still having trouble in many states advancing their cause on the abortion issue because there is a large countervailing bloc on the other side.

    But in the case of Zionism, you have a small number of Jewish voters who are pro-Zionist and a small number of us, on both the Left and the Right, who have learned about the history of Palestine and are therefore anti-Zionists. The numbers on the two sides might be in a rough balance.

    Except for the tens of millions of Evangelicals who are, for quite bizarre religious reasons having to do with the Second Coming, fanatically pro-Zionist, in a very weird way (the End Game is that the Jews all end up dead in the battle of Armageddon!).

    Numbers matter.

    At least in elections when you count votes.

    And the Evangelicals are the foot soldiers among the Zionists who decisively swing the numbers in favor of Zionism, simply because there would otherwise be no numerically large bloc of voters on either side. The Evangelicals are the “muscle” in this fight.

    Imagine if the Evangelicals all came to their senses (fat chance!) and swung against Zionism. That would be the end of Zionism in America. At least in terms of electoral politics.

    There is a tendency among so many of your posters and commenters here to try to somehow look “behind the veil” and try to see the “hidden forces” at work.

    But what actually takes real effort is to see clearly the forces that are not hidden, but what is rather “hidden in plain sight.”

    And, in the case of Zionism in the USA, that is the Evangelicals.

    And the Jewish Zionists know it: read Mearsheimer and Walt’s section where they quote Jewish Zionist leaders being aware of these facts.

    As Orwell said:

    To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.

    This is the central point I am hammering away at in these Open Threads.

    What is the key fact, in front of our nose, about the 9/11 attacks?

    That they were carried our by Islamic jihadists as “blowback” for the horrifically murderous actions of the US government in the Mideast. As Ron Paul has said again and again, they are over here because we have been over there. They killed us because the US government killed so many of them.

    That is the “surface story” of 9/11; it is plain to anyone who chose to follow news reports at the time; and yet that is the story that the regime, for very obvious reasons, wants people to avoid focusing on.

    And that basic fact is what many of your columnists here and most of your commenters also want to keep everyone from focusing on.

    “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”

    You have written at length about the events that led up to US involvement in WW II. And yet, most of that information was available to anyone who paid reasonable attention to the news at the time.

    But it was “memory-holed.” The lies passed on to younger generations were that the attack on Pearl was an unprovoked and dastardly sneak attack, a bolt from the blue, a “day that would live in infamy.”

    You see this bizarre behavior in this very Open Thread where our little friend Truth Vigilante insists that the obviously satirical video by the great Dom Frisby is really in earnest (lizard people and all!), where Truth Vigilante libels me by claiming that I engaged in academic falsification of data, even though he does not even pretend to have any evidence for that claim, etc.

    He is quite transparent about being a pathological liar.

    And yet few commenters here bother to notice this: “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”

    And of course this constantly happens in the mainstream media as well: Biden and his neocon minions claim that Putin, if he succeeds in Ukraine, will, in short order, move on NATO countries. Which ignores the quite obvious fact that it is taking a major effort by Russia even to defeat Ukraine. Which therefore makes the idea that Putin could successfully drive to the Channel simply absurd.

    By and large, the history of the world is hidden only in the sense that it is “hidden in plain sight.”

    The CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the WEF are not secret. And the crimes that the members of such groups commit –the destruction of the currency, the wars they start, the collapse of the education system, and all the rest — are front-page news.

    These are not secrets.

    But people are well-trained to forget or ignore the obvious facts that were presented a month or a year or a decade ago on the front page.

    That is the real basis of the power of the ruling elite: making people forget what everyone once knew.

    To again quote Orwell:

    ‘Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.’

    And most of your columnists here and most of your commenters are supporting the ruling elite in obfuscating the past, trying to manufacture some bizarre fantasies in place of facing up to the actual horrors that are sufficient to indict the ruling elite.

    Is there a consensus among Truthers as to how the planes were maneuvered?
    Did Mossad assess the Arab hijackers’ piloting abilities and make sure they were good enough for flying planes into skyscrapers?
    Did Mossad train or command any of the hijackers?

    Chubby, you’re in desperate need of an education on what actually occured during the 9/11 False Flag.
    The clue comes courtesy of the words ‘False Flag’ – which means that Entity A perpetrates a crime on entity B, yet somehow manages to leave ‘evidence’ that entity C did it.
    Of course entity C (the innocent parties ) are the Muslims/Al Qaeda. A subset of entity C is the Saudis and Pakistan’s ISI (ZOG left ‘evidence’ to implicate them, even though both had NO involvement whatsover).
    Entity A, the same entity that murdered JFK/RFK/JFK Jr/MLK Jr, James Forrestal, perpetrated the Covid Psyop, the Holohoax, the Anthropogenic Global Warming fraud and much, MUCH more, is ZOG (The Zionist Usury Banking Cartel – the same cabal that lords over the entirety of the western financial system),

    Click on the link below and be sure to read the comment (it is # 948 in Open Thead #8).
    Most important of all, make sure you watch the 3 min section of the video in that comment that I’ve specified, and do so over and over until it sinks in:

    https://www.unz.com/announcement/open-thread-8/#comment-6441107

    SUMMARY: There is NO PROOF that a single one of those alleged Muslim hijackers (that were alleged by the corrupt ZOG owned MSM to have crashed those four aircraft on 9/11), boarded ANY of those four planes.
    In fact, SEVEN (7) of them were reported to be ALIVE after 9/11 !!

    As to your other questions, unfortunately there is no consensus among truthers on what happened that day. Because ZOG has so much riding on not being discovered as the villain in this heinous crime, they have expended much time and energy into infiltrating various Truther movements and even concocting elaborate diversionary stories like ‘No Planes actually struck the WTC towers’, and that what we saw were either Holograms or CGI applied to the videos after the event.
    Unfortunately, many sincere truthers have been sucked in by the ‘No Planes’ theory and are not willing to objectively analyse all the evidence.

    In fact, NONE of the four real aircraft with real pasengers and crew were hijacked/crashed that day.
    The real planes were electronically commandeered using BUAP (Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Auto Pilot) technology – in the same way that Malaysian Airlines MH370 was commandeered and landed safely in Diego Garcia in 2014 (and not crashed into the Indian Ocean as the ZOG owned western media would have us believe).

    The real planes of 9/11 were landed at alternative venues and the passengers and crew, seeing as we haven’ t heard from them in the interim, were almost certainly murdered.
    The planes that struck the WTC towers and the Pentagon were DRONES that replaced the original planes mid flight. They turned on an identical transponder signal at the same instant that the real planes turned theirs off – hence what appeared to be a continuity of flight path as far as the Air Traffic Control that was monitoring their movements.

    Chubby, what I’ve discussed above (and a hell of a lot more), has been covered exhaustively by many others (myself included) in the various 9/11 threads in UR featured over recent years.
    But, for whatever reason, you weren’t paying attention.

    My advice to you: Don’t be like Colin Wrong. No matter how many times he’s shown irrefutable proof that NO MUSLIMS WERE ABOARD ANY OF THE FOUR ‘9/11 planes’, let alone being able to hijack them and steer them to their targets, he still writes asinine things like ‘Al Qaeda came up with the plan’, as he posted in comment # 144.

    Once Colin Wrong fixates himself on a particular hypothesis, there is no changing his mind.
    He’ll take that belief to the grave, irrespective of what evidence is presented to the contrary.

  150. Ron Unz has banned me from posting comments on the Covid Psyop, as many of you will be aware.
    I get how it works: ‘His webzine, His rules’, so I will be refraining from commentary on that topic henceforth.

    Meanwhile, assuming you’re reading this Ron, I know you have a lot of respect* for the Libertarian Tom Woods Phd.
    (*Proof of that appears near the bottom of the UR home page, where Tom Woods is recommended by Ron as ‘SELECTED ALTERNATIVE MEDIA’).

    Well, Tom Woods just appeared on The Ron Paul Liberty Report speaking about his book titled: “Diary of a Psychosis: How Public Health Disgraced Itself During COVID Mania.”
    Ron, if you haven’t already read it, I think it’s something you might consider looking at in the future.

    Meanwhile, many individuals are of the opinion that Libertarianism cannot be applied during emergencies, that authoritarian government is needed and liberties must be restricted for the common good.
    Well, Tom Woods begs to differ (watch the 2 mins from 9:00-11:00 of the video below):

    You did not grow up among Evangelicals, did you?

    I grew up around Pentecostal People. Well, not around them, but that’s the church my mother hauled us to for some reason. Fire & Brimstone, and speaking in tongues….I heard it all.

    Perhaps the point is that there would be no Zion/Zionism without Jews/Jewry, and secular Jews do support Israel, nonetheless, because their parents/grandparents/relatives train young Jews to do so, and also “train” them to see themselves somewhat apart from everyone else. I have been to bar mitzvahs, and foreskin snipping parties of completely atheist, bacon-eating, gentile-loving Jews, surrounded by their yarmulke-wearing relatives. They toe the line due to familial/community pressure, which is intense.

    So, Zion/Zionism/Israel is Jewish in core and form, and Evangelical Christians, and many other Christians, support Israel because Jesus was a Jew, or because that’s the message they extract from the Bible. That book is so full of omissions, I don’t understand how they don’t question the conclusions drawn by the pastor/preacher. My first subversive inquiry was – who did Cain marry, and how did he come to rule a great nation, if he was one of only three people on earth when he was banished?

    I think the Jew-loving Christians are Useful Idiots. But, they were also trained, yes?

    As Ron Paul has said again and again, they are over here because we have been over there.

    I’m not defending the American government, but Arabic muslims are not docile people. Islam was spread by violence/conquest. I suppose ancient Christianity was too, but I don’t think to the same degree as Islam; certainly not in more modern times.

    Who allowed the Muslims to enter the U.S.? What is this inane practice of disrupting or decimating a community of people, generally hostile to Christianity/Judaism, and then bringing them on over to live amongst the people who ruined said community? It’s intentional – who is that stupid? Or Useful?

    You have written at length about the events that led up to US involvement in WW II. And yet, most of that information was available to anyone who paid reasonable attention to the news at the time.

    I’m not so sure that was true before the internet. FDR lied constantly about Germany, and at that time, most people trusted their president; pro-Germany, anti-FDR, reporting was designated fringe and antisemitic; US senators who opposed FDR were punished/ruined.

    I began reading history extensively in middle school. I never read about the European slave trade into Africa/Arabia – I had only read about the Barbary Pirates capturing America/English vessels; I learned of the European slaves on an archeology tour. Mainstream textbooks, media, etc., have been slanted against reality for decades. And, as you correctly say, the American education system of the last few decades is exponentially devolving from the decline that seems to have begun after WW2.

  153. Sparkon says:

    There were no hijacked jetliners that crashed anywhere on September 11, 2001.

    We can be sure there were no hijacked or crashed planes on 9/11 for the simple but decisive reason there was no authentic and verifiable airplane wreckage recovered in a timely fashion at any of the claimed 9/11 crash locations – not at the World Trade Center, nor the Pentagon, nor a field near Shanksville, PA – while the reasonable expectation would be that those sites would have been littered with broken airplane parts, as is the case with every other airplane crash on solid ground known to man. A few airplanes have crashed into the ocean and disappeared, but that’s it.

    At one point, reported only in a few regional publications, the FBI did claim to have recovered almost all of the wreckage of UA93 from its hole in the ground at Shanksville, but of course we’ve never seen any of it, nor have we heard much more about this FBI claim.

    There were a few attempts to plant airplane wreckage, both at the Pentagon and around the WTC, but critics have pointed out discrepancies and problems with all of that material. Obviously, planted evidence is a big red flag alerting us to fact that 9/11 was a charade with no real hijacked airliners crashing into anything.

    Sept. 11, 2001 – Black Tuesday – was a made-for-TV special, a Hollywood-style Psychodrama in SFX that had most of the world transfixed and fooled.

    But not everyone. You really can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

    Even as I watched on TV as the Twin Towers came down, I knew that a 150-ton airplane could not possibly destroy a 500,000-ton skyscraper. No way, Jose. I knew with certainty then there had to have been some other agents involved in bringing down those massive buildings, probably some kind of explosives. Donald Trump knew it too, and said so publicly before going silent on the matter, but that was his usual shtick anyway, to first flirt with the truth for awhile, then flee from it at full tilt later.

    No airplane wreckage means no hijacked jetliners, and no hijacked jetliners means no hijackers. Drones too would have left wreckage. Pixels, none at all.

    The televised images of a Boeing 767 jetliner we saw seemingly crashing into WTC 2 on 9/11, purportedly UA175, were created with CGI. Knowledgeable video analysts can point out numerous telltale flaws in these videos, making it crystal clear those were not real airplanes on 9/11, and not real videos of them crashing.

    The notorious Hezarkhani still frame seems to show UA175 has plunged into WTC and penetrated the skyscraper up to the airplane’s wing roots, but there is no sign of any reaction from either airplane or building, which is impossible. Obviously, both airliner and building would be visibly affected by a collision. The airplane would begin to shatter and crumple at first impact, and cladding and other material would fly off the building there, but we see nothing like that in the Hezarkhani video. Instead, the airplane seems to be gliding into the skyscraper without resistance or any reduction in speed, smoother even than the proverbial hot knife into butter, for even that colliding combo creates more resistance than pixels.


    Image: Michael Hezarkhani at

    911planeshoax.com

    The complete lack of any reaction from either airplane or building is 100% guaranteed proof that the image is fake, does not represent a real-world event, and was created with CGI.

    If only the MSN then had paid as much attention to the obviously fake videos from 9/11 as they are now paying to Kate Middleton’s hands, as if the world turned on pictures of the “Royal Family,” we might have had a chance of stopping Shrub’s GWOT.

    Is this a strange planet, or what?

    No planes on 9/11 – just pixels.

    However, there was a jetliner, possibly under remote control, that overflew the Pentagon on 9/11. This is likely the airplane, purportedly AA77, about which Vice-president Dick Cheney was getting timely updates as it approached the Pentagon, as was witnessed at the time, and subsequently reported by Norman Mineta to 9/11 Commission Vice-chairman Lee Hamilton.

    We can be certain as well, that no airplane was shot down at the Pentagon, despite the timely warnings being given to Dick Cheney, who, by the way, as vice-President, had no operational role in national defense. The VP is entirely out of the DOD’s chain of command and has no military authority whatsoever, so it’s pretty clear something highly unusual, unprecedented, and probably illegal was going on with Dick Cheney seemingly giving orders to the military while hunkered down in the PECC.

    Since no airplane was shot down at the Pentagon, we can be sure that the “orders” discussed by Cheney and the “young man” must have been “hold your fire.” There is only one explanation for the Pentagon’s failure to shoot down the approaching plane, and that is the aircraft must have been a friendly. Its whole purpose was to impress upon a number of witnesses the presence of a large jet near the Pentagon right as bombs were set off therein. Blast and smoke from the bombs provided cover for the big jet as it overflew the Pentagon and flew off to land somewhere, which would have been easy enough to do after all the planes were grounded.

    Meanwhile, down in a Florida classroom, Pres. Bush had been notified by Andrew Card that “America is under attack.” because apparently, “a second plane has flown into the second tower.” So the game was, well, the first plane could plausibly be considered some kind of terrible accident, but boy, when that 2nd one went in there, everybody knew it was no accident.

    So lessee. At that point, the situation was there had been two airplane crashes into the World Trade Center, and American was under attack, so wouldn’t you think Plan A would have been to get the President of the United States and his staff and those kids out of that classroom as quickly as was humanly possible?

    I mean, for goodness sake, the Booker school where Pres. Bush was sitting is just 2 miles from the end of the runway at Sarasota’s Bradenton international airport! Couldn’t another one of those hijacked jetliners have come plunging through the roof at Booker at any second? In the official 9/11 narrative at least, Bush and his party and the kids at Booker were sitting ducks for Kamikaze Arab Hijackers with Boxcutters.

    In any normal circumstance, Bush and his party would have boogied on outa there with all due haste, but no worries.

    Clearly, Pres. Bush and some of his party knew there were no real hijacked jetliners, and no real danger to Bush, who in any case decided against jumping to his feet and taking charge as Commander in Chief with his nation under attack, and chose instead to remain in his chair for another seven minutes until the bizarre chanting session mercifully came to an end, and W was free to hang around the schoolhouse a bit more to glad hand and pose for pictures with the staff and kids.

    It must have been a festive occasion, after all, for Bush and his crowd, what with America under attack, and all.

    Finally, some 20 minutes or more after the word came in that the country was being attacked, the Commander-in-Chief and his entourage at last pulled out of Booker.

    It could be said, I suggest, that 9/11 and George W. Bush’s subsequent Global War on Terror were the sparks and conflagrations that ignited what is trying hard to be WWIII.

    I certainly don’t doubt that lots of the Evangelicals these days are fanatically pro-Israel. However, I think the underlying causes are interesting to examine.

    For obvious reasons, Christianity had traditionally been pretty hostile to Jews and Judaism. But there are very widespread claims that a little over a century ago Samuel Untermyer subsidized the publication and distribution of the Scofield Reference Bible that drastically shifted that perspective among American Protestants. I’ve never looked into the matter, but it seems perfectly plausible.

    Also, during the middle decades of the 20th century, many of the most influential and popular Christian preachers were very antisemitic, and there are claims that a mixture of money, media, and perhaps blackmail were used to gradually elevate a different group of preachers who were far more favorable towards Jews and Israel. Although I’m not too familiar with that history, last month I published an article discussing it:

    https://www.unz.com/estriker/americas-church-the-invention-of-the-evangelical-christian-movement/

    So it wouldn’t surprise me if the same general forces used to shift American elected officials in a particular direction were also used to shift leading Christian preachers the same way. And just like most ordinary conservatives follow the beliefs of the leading conservative public figures, probably most ordinary Christians do the same with leading Christian preachers.

    Bin Laden denied responsibility in September 2001, so he clearly wasn’t involved. If he was involved in the successful terrorist attacks he of course would’ve wanted credit.

    How could his small terrorist organization have pulled off a massive operation like 9/11 without the top leadership knowing about it? I think the Mossad Theory of 9/11 requires the involvement of Ariel Sharon, so I don’t see how the Al Qaeda Theory could work without bin Laden.

    To be somewhat unfair about it (or maybe not), the Jews are like STAVKA. The Evangelicals are the poor oiks in the endless waves of Red Army Rifle divisions.

    If anyone doubts that, see the funding and leadership of CUFI, or the activities of that Singer creature.

    Also, during the middle decades of the 20th century, many of the most influential and popular Christian preachers were very antisemitic, and there are claims that a mixture of money, media, and perhaps blackmail were used to gradually elevate a different group of preachers who were far more favorable towards Jews and Israel. Although I’m not too familiar with that history, last month I published an article discussing it:

    Well… I’m afraid you are again showing that you don’t have much real-life experience with Evangelicals!

    Your column goes on and on about Billy Graham and you also mentioned:

    On the home front, recruitment to the new marketing-driven fandom-cum-church was booming. From 1965 to 1975, Evangelicals were always on offer on the television and radio, allowing the movement to gain waves of followers and become the largest Protestant denomination in the country.

    Well, no.

    The Evangelicals were mainly a grass-roots operation, off the radar of most academics, journalists, and, indeed, most Americans on the East or West coasts. They were not a product of Billy Graham and the televangelists.

    I remember when Jimmy Carter, who was a “born-again” Christian, ran for President in 1976. The news media actually ran specials explaining to “normal” Americans what it meant to be “born again.”

    I found this to be enormously hilarious: what planet had these “journalists” been living on throughout their lives?

    The answer, of course, is a planet with other people like them, a planet that ignored the largely lower-middle-class, working-class, and truly poor people who had tended to be Evangelicals. These people had always been a significant part of the American population, going back, indeed, to colonial times.

    Serious historians of American religious history have, of course, always known this, but the “journalists” truly did not. And I assume you too had little or no contact with that class of people, coming from a secular family on the West coast, going to Harvard, etc.

    But if you read serious US religious history, they have always been among us: they were not somebody’s creation in the mid-twentieth century!

    Could it be, as you say, that “a mixture of money, media, and perhaps blackmail were used to gradually elevate a different group of preachers who were far more favorable towards Jews and Israel”?

    Billy Graham, maybe.

    But actual Evangelicals in the pews viewed him as you and I viewed Carl Sagan: perhaps not a bad chap, but lacking in relevancy to our lives.

    When I was in grade school, the church which my parents attended kicked out their preacher — Reverend Montgomery — and installed the “education director,” known to us all as “Brother Ed,” as the new preacher.

    My own parents were closely involved in this, and I myself was allowed to attend the church service at which the vote was held to change preachers (yes, this was majority vote of all church members who chose to attend — had I chosen to join the church, I could have voted!).

    The idea that our church’s choice of preacher was or could have been influenced by outside money is just laughable.

    By the way, the main issue was that Reverend Montgomery was an old-fashioned “fire-and-brimstone” preacher who frightened the children and irritated the younger suburban moms — the old geezers liked the old guy. Brother Ed held exactly the same views as Montgomery, but Brother Ed was not really into yelling.

    Sure: Billy Graham was a publicity hound who sucked up to high-ranking politicians. Everyone in the country knew who he was, of course, but I never recall hearing his name mentioned in our church. He was simply an irrelevancy to the members of our church.

    I am afraid that what we are seeing here is the same thing as journalists who try to “understand” Trump voters by reading some crazy posts by QAnon supporters online.

    QAnon conspiracy nuts are simply not the vast majority of Trump supporters.

    And the people who think that Billy Graham or televangelists were the center of the real Evangelical movement need to come down from their high perches and lower themselves by mixing with real, living people.

    I’ve spent my life doing that. Even though I think their religious views are quite loony, I find Evangelicals to be rather nice people, on the whole. And, indeed, they are no loonier than most secular upper-middle-class liberals — they are just loony in different ways.

    How could his small terrorist organization have pulled off a massive operation like 9/11 without the top leadership knowing about it?

    But it wasn’t massive at all!

    It was something like twenty guys, a few of whom learned some very, very basic flying skills (they did not learn how to land!) and who managed to get through lax security at Logan, Newark, and Dulles.

    Why is this any more surprising than the small group who dumped tea into Boston Harbor in December of 1773? Do you think that was a massive operation?

    Or, for that matter, Tim McVeigh blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City?

    Or even the Unabomber?

    The truth is that modern industrial society is stunningly fragile against a handful of guys who want to kill a bunch of people. For obvious reasons, I am not going to list possible future scenarios here, but anyone with a bit of imagination, or anyone who has read a lot of thrillers, can come up with quite a few.

    Because of over-reaction by the ruling elite, the 9/11 terrorists had an outsized impact.

    But they were just a bunch of guys who managed to take advantage of some real loopholes in American security. And who lucked out in not getting caught.

    The key characteristic of “conspiracy theorists” is that they do not want to believe that huge consequences can flow from small actions by a tiny handful of marginal, nutty people. They want the world to have meaning — it is all really due, as our friend Truth Vigilante recently informed us, to the Illuminati! Or whatever.

    But in fact history often is just one damn thing after another. Gavrilo Princip actually failed to nail Franz Ferdinand when he had planned, but, unfortunately, Franz Ferdinand’s driver made a wrong turn, and Princip got a second chance. Fanny Kaplan, on August 30, 1918, did manage to shoot that evil thug Lenin, but, alas, he survived. And Zangara, sadly, took out Anton Chermak but missed FDR, in my opinion one of the greatest tragedies in American history. And the monster Hitler sadly survived the 20 July attempt to take him out.

    But some people cannot accept contingency.

    And so they need something else. They need the world to have a coherence that it does not in fact have.

    I’m not sure we disagree: as I said, I think American Jews are probably the “moneybags” of the American Zionist movement, and they certainly provide the brains (Evangelicals tend not be the brightest among our countrymen!) and most of the organizational skills.

And I am still angry about the nightmares I had as a young child because of the fire-and-brimstone teaching — of course, those went away once I realized it was all just a sado-masochistic fantasy.

    On the other hand, most of the Evangelicals I grew up among actually were quite nice people. In fact, contrary to popular opinion, most Evangelicals are actually more tolerant than almost any liberals. After all, they know that we are all sinners, and they merely want to save you and me from eternal torture in Hell, which is rather thoughtful of them, don’t you think?

    In a weird way.

    Of course, as you have noted, I certainly do have an evangelistic urge to expose liars and con artists wherever I find them.

    According to this article in Tablet, the daily casualty figures reported by Gaza’s health ministry are fake, as indicated by several anomalies in the data.

    https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-gaza-health-ministry-fakes-casualty-numbers

    But assuming that’s true, does that mean the figures are wild overestimates? It must be very difficult to accurately estimate the daily casualties in Gaza because of all the destruction inflicted by Israel. Maybe Hamas has just reported inaccurate (but not necessarily inflated) daily casualty figures in a regular, predictable fashion since it’s hard to produce an accurate daily estimate in a 24 hour period over and over again.

    The important thing is the estimate of total casualties. The daily estimates don’t really matter as much. If the total estimate of casualties as well as the age and gender estimates produced by the Gaza health ministry are way off, then why did Biden and Austin cite them? They’re not in the pocket of Hamas.

    My dear grandmother (born in the very late 1890’s) was a very devout Roman Catholic who was also a private Christian Zionist. There was a tent revival movement occurring all over North America, in the 1920’s when my grandmother was young woman, and that is from which that ideological vein came to her (and to at least one of her sisters, my American grand-auntie, who often visited us in Canada, and vise versa, as well).

    I was curious and as a young lad (maybe around 13 or 14), I asked her so many questions about this strange belief system (not really Roman Catholic, as per my parental-raising, …to my mind anyways) and she gave me the pertinent reading material (Hal Lindsay’s 1970 book – ‘The Late Great Planet Earth’).

    Of course I have also known some Evangelicals (not Roman Catholic), also Christian Zionist. Converse deeply, …and you will find they believe the same as my grandmother:

    They feel like they are personally burdened, with heavy heart, by the sins of the world, and hope for a way to finally reconcile that, … within the here and now of this earthly realm, …. as all intimately related to what their heart truly wants: Peace and prosperity on earth for all, for all of humanity. They feel that, due to that which their heart truly wants, …. perhaps they are marked this way, ….. and as well, … this precise attitude ( a grasping towards an ‘ontological humility’) may be the elixir that saves them from damnation, in the afterlife.

    I would say that my dear grandmother was oh so very sincerely trying for this ‘ontological humility’ but did not go far enough, and was still off the mark, like the Evangelicals, of course, too (i.e. … I think, in the end, ontological humility demands the refusal of any sort of notion of certainty around afterlife tropes).

    The Christian Zionists are not who you appear to believe they are (with respect to their views on the Judaic). It so happens that the Institutional Christian doctrine (of all denominational stripes) dictates that the Christians are the true inheritors (usurpers?) of the blood covenants that the Judaic Jews prior proclaimed they had with ‘God’. And of course, you do see that as a bad joke (because no one knows the mind of God, …. even an agnostic claiming the atheist mantle, like yourself, will agree with that). OK, …. well what about the Christian Zionists’ heavy hearts, then? What are they to do with that heartfelt-condition that colors their entire lives? I guess they could deign to instead go Buddhist, …. but Buddhism ultimately counsels them to distrust and discount their ‘heavy heart’. So what else is there, for such a heart-centric person, in the west, to adhere to, then?

    OK, … I hope you glean my implied meaning there: The Christian Zionists, because they want afterlife (like nearly everybody wants, apparently), …. but as well are ‘heavy-heart experiencers’, …. deign to believe their rotten and small-minded institutional church fathers (of all Christian denominations actually, as far as I am aware), …. that the magical Jews were first-informed about what is what around ‘God’ interface with humans, …. a template therefore that may be used to deal with their own personal heavy-hearted condition. Look, …. to these heavy-hearted Christian Zionists it is not the Judaic conception of ‘God’ that is the important feature of their faith, (the Christians sense is so convoluted no one really understands, …. Yahweh converted into the triune God, hahahaha!), …. no, …. what is important is that they now have a way to give fuller expression to their heavy-heartedness.

    Coles Notes: I think perhaps you tend to like Evangelicals irl, as you say, because they indeed are people trying for ontological humility (but have not gone far enough, in that endeavor, … but at least it is a start). As such though, there indeed is more spiritual sophistication apparent, among Evangelicals and Christian Zionists of all denominational stripes, than you want to give credit for (i.e. – the heavy-heartedness). I get it, …. since October 7th I have had some convos with the more devout Christians of different kinds, …. and what I observe is that basically they have allowed themselves to see the Palestinians as sub-human (as per Jewish-media and general-Israeli counsel). This all, is going to ideologically break the current thread of Christian Zionism. And that is because of this simple existential fact:

    It is unbelievably and astoundingly sinful to deign to see some others as sub-human, in order to protect your normalized wish for the afterlife. This existential fact will come to visit upon the Christian Zionist movement of the various stripes, … quite soon now, …. and will break it (the current Christian Zionist ordering), ….. yet this doesn’t mean the dissolution of the Christian Zionists, …. they will have to regroup (i.e. – because they still feel burdened with the heavy-heartedness for all the sins of the world), …. and as such we now have an opportunity here to instill real ontological humility into the culture (the full blown version, … not just a half-measure like now with the current Christian Zionists), …. the ‘real’ version goes like this: We humans are a species-collective that is lost in a vast sea of the unknown amidst the infinite backdrop of the unknowable, …. rendering us all as psychically-shocked personages, …. and this ‘shocking’ hurts (because it goes against our deep-felt wish for far more certainty than is actually available), …. and it is within this precise ‘shocking’ condition that we feel deep compassion for the same-said plight of all my human brethren. Nothing more is needed (than these realizations).

    What I am saying is that to truly understand the Evangelicals, or the Christian Zionists (and I am talking about the regular congregation here, … not the church leaders, whom are mostly rotten, as far as I can tell) you must understand their heavy-heartedness, …. because they are onto something important, around that (they just didn’t go far enough with working out an ontological humility that truly gives full expression to this heavy-heartedness, and as such is not just a half-measure). The Christian Zionists are much more-so beholden to ‘human-heavy-heartedness’ than they are to any undying notions of ‘Jews are God’s Chosen People’ (despite the mostly rotten church leaders of all denominational stripes that always deign to refuse that ordering, among the flock in their congregations, …. making it out like that experienced heavy-heartedness among the congratulation is contingent upon seeing ‘Jews are God’s Chosen People’, ……hahahahahaha!, …. and some more hahahahahahaha!, …. these various church leaders are truly dreck, and should not be leading anybody, …including the fucking pope). Don’t mistake the church-going regular folk for their very flawed leadership, … is what I am saying (i.e. – regular Christians tend to understand that uncertainty must hugely feature, within their own personal conception of ‘faith’, … whereas the loons that get up at the pulpit in every church of every Christian denomination, …. twist this conception of ‘faith’ into a bad joke featuring huge but unwarranted certainty).

    Well, I’m definitely not an expert in running terrorist groups, but I really think any Al Qaeda plan to hijack a couple of commercial planes in the U.S. and fly them into two of the largest Manhattan skyscrapers would’ve required approval from bin Laden.

    The official narrative is that bin Laden was the mastermind of the attacks. Truthers believe government officials at the highest level planned the attacks. They believe either Cheney and Rumsfeld, or Sharon and the Mossad leadership were the masterminds. So everybody agrees the top guys within some organization planned the attacks, so I don’t think 9/11 could’ve been a rogue, “compartmentalized” operation.

    Dumping of a bunch of tea into Boston Harbor and Antifa rioting aren’t really analogous to 9/11. The 10/7 attack by Hamas is probably a good analogy – does anybody think it was planned without the highest level of Hamas’s involvement? I think all JFK conspiracy theorists believe the assassination was planned by the top leadership(s) of the CIA and/or organized crime and/or the Mossad. I think hugely consequential attacks and assassinations that are at all complex require approval from the top of some organizational hierarchy.

    Well… I’m afraid you are again showing that you don’t have much real-life experience with Evangelicals!

    That’s certainly true, but I really wonder whether the situation you describe had also been true in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

    For example, the most popular preacher of the 1930s was the Father Coughlin, who I think may have had the second largest radio audience in America after the President. He’d originally been a populist FDR supporter, but turned against him partly because of the Communist influence, and also became very critical of Jewish influence around the same time. His weekly newspaper was banned from the US mails and in a series of steps he was eventually yanked off the air. Obviously, he was Catholic, but I think many of his views were widespread among Evangelical preachers during that same period.

    For example, I’d never heard of Gerald L.K. Smith, but he was supposedly an incredibly popular Protestant stump-orator from the 1930s to the 1950s, who had a huge national following and could fill stadiums for his events. He’d originally started under Huey Long and became an ally of Coughlin.

    I think he was regarded as the leading antisemitic figure in America during some of those decades, and probably for that reason was kept off radio and television by the companies that controlled those. Therefore, his huge Christian following was gradually absorbed by other preachers who were given media access because their views were considered less hostile.

    I’ve never tried to research these issues, just picking things up here and there in my other readings, but I strongly suspect that the philo-Semitism you encountered among Evangelicals may have gradually come from the late 1940s onward, largely due to media influence.

    Well, you’re obviously a very smart guy, but analysis without sufficient data can lead to faulty conclusions.

    If you actually look into the details of the 9/11 Attacks, there are probably something like 100 fatal flaws with the “official narrative,” which is absolutely ridiculous in many ways. Perhaps some of them can be successfully explained away, but the total number is enormous.

    I’ll just mention one item. The hijackers were allegedly fanatic Islamicists who were followers of Bin Laden, and they’d lived in Florida for something like six months before the attacks. Yet when an investigative journalist went down there and talked with the locals, he found the hijackers had all been heavily involved in drinking alcohol, using drugs, eating pork, and spending time in strip-joints or with prostitutes. That’s hardly typical behavior for fanatic Islamic fundamentalists.

    Incidentally, there’s also very strong evidence that Timothy McVeigh’s involvement in the OKC Bombing was part of a much larger plot in which he was probably something of a fall-guy although the exact details aren’t clear. For example, it seems very likely that the building was actually destroyed by bombs placed inside it rather than by a truck parked outside. At the time, there were lots of public statements by the initial rescue workers that they found unexploded bombs inside the building and had to defuse them, and I think the governor even reported that in a press conference. However, it’s not at all clear who exactly was responsible or why, although there are numerous conflicting theories.

    Still, I can certainly understand why you’d prefer not to admit that all these cans of worms exist let along open them, so I won’t press the point. But if you ever do get interested, my articles provide a pretty good road-map to the source material, allowing people to do their own research or make up their minds.

    What I found particularly striking and suspicious was that Bin Laden almost immediately denied that he’d had anything to do with the 9/11 Attacks, but even though I always carefully read all my MSM sources, I only discovered that shocking fact about a decade later, though some article on Counterpunch.

    One would think that Bin Laden’s public statement was important enough that it would have been reported in some American MSM outlet.

    There’s such a huge number of enormous holes in the official 9/11 narrative that each of us can simply pick which are the most important.

    I think the entire 9/11 issue should be divided into two entirely separate pieces. The first question is whether the official story is false and the second is who was actually behind the attacks.

    Matt Yglesias raises an important point about this time four years ago, when Corona had just become a national emergency:

    If we accept that the Covid pandemic was started by members of the Trump Administration, like Pompeo or Bolton, then perhaps the reason for the reversal of the politics of Covid during spring 2020 becomes clear.

    Initially, Trump thought it was a good idea to be tough on Covid, a virus that he thought originated in China, and favored quarantining NYC and the wearing of masks. But at this point, when it was clear that the virus was going to be as bad for America as it was supposed to be for China, maybe Pompeo or whoever became very nervous that they were going to be caught and then executed. They could’ve pushed Trump to be soft on Covid so that the economy would take less of a hit from lockdowns and also so that no one would ever suspect that members of Trump’s administration actually started the pandemic through a biowarfare attack. Then, liberals were negative polarized into supporting quarantines and masking, a reversal of their lackadaisical stance earlier on.

    Fizzy-cyst Dovid writes (in relation to the 19 Muslims that were falsely accused of hijacking four aircraft on 9/11):

    It was something like twenty guys, a few of whom learned some very, very basic flying skills (they did not learn how to land!) and who managed to get through lax security at Logan, Newark, and Dulles.

    Dovid Miller writes this despite the info I posted in an earlier comment that emphatically demonstrated that THERE IS NO PROOF THAT A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE 19 INDIVIDUALS BOARDED ANY OF THOSE FOUR AIRCRAFT.

    Moreover, SEVEN (7) of them were still alive after 9/11.

    These anomalies do not concern Dovid Miller. His handlers have instructed him to repeat OVER and OVER, the official narrative.
    Similarly in the case of Third Reich Germany when he writes:

    And the monster Hitler sadly survived the 20 July attempt to take him out.

    Of course, any objective assessment of WWII atrocities will show clearly that the Anglo-Zionist empire committed BY FAR the most egregious crimes (both quantitatively and qualitatively).
    Dovid Miller does occasionally give FDR and Winston Spendthrift Churchill a rap on the knuckles and say they were flawed individuals, but he will NEVER say that they were the stand-out war criminals of WWII.

    Dovid Miller does it once again when he speaks of: ‘Tim McVeigh blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City?’

    Anyone who has looked into that event will know that McVeigh was a patsy, who had nothing to do with the destruction of that building.
    The blowing up of the Murrah Bldg was yet another ZOG orchestrated crime, intended to be blamed on Iraq, and used as a pretext for military intervention.
    There is a deluge of evidence that shows McVeigh did not blow up the Murrah Building (no truck/van parked in front of the building could have caused that type of damage – explosives were pre-planted INSIDE the building).
    But, for those of you that are (like Dovid Miller) completely clueless about this ZOG orchestrated False Flag, I urge you to take the time to watch this video about a brave Oklahoma policeman that was murdered because he found out the truth about what occurred that day:

    The video is called ‘Requiem for the Suicided: Terrance Yeakey’ and the caption below the clip reads:

    In this edition we turn the focus of our open source investigation to Sgt. Terrance Yeakey, one of the first responder heroes at the scene of the OKC bombing who discovered something that conflicted with the official story of the bombing…something that cost him his life.

    Dovid says the things that he does because his handlers in Herzliya (in Occupied Palestine) have handed him a script. And that script says: ‘Keep repeating the lie over and over’.
    With enough repetition the non-critical thinkers will end up believing it.

    And so it has come to pass, as people like Colin Wrong still keeps bleating the party line. ie: that Al Qaeda orchestrated 9/11 and that the Holohoax* occurred.
    (*Colin Wrong no doubt still believes that a significant subset of Jewry were turned into lampshades and soap during that ZOG orchestrated conflict).

    One of the things that goes on in talking with you conspiracy theorists is that you claim that you “really think” something and then seem to believe that the fact that you “really think” that means that sane people are obligated to to prove you wrong.

    Proof to your satisfaction.

    You are mistaken.

    We sane folks have no obligation of any sort to prove anything to your satisfaction.

    You guys are the ones who are trying to convince us of something. We are not trying to convince you.

    I am a lifelong connoisseur of cults — from Christian fundamentalists to Scientolo0gists to Mormons to Young Earth Creationists to 911 Truthers.

    I know that I could spend every minute of every day for the rest of my life proving that one claim after another made by some particular cultist is false.

    And yet it would make no difference.

    Look, for example, at “Truth Vigilante”: he made the following accusation against me (see here) in which he claims that I have:

    been shunned by fellow academics because he has a history of peddling junk science/been a serial offender in falsifying data etc,

    Truth Vigilante does not even pretend to have any evidence that I have been viewed by any academics at all as being guilty of “falsifying data.”

    And indeed, Truth Vigilante could not have such evidence: anyone can look at my Ph.D. thesis, available online, and see that I was not reporting on data I had taken myself. I was evaluating data reported by experimentalists and comparing that data to theoretical predictions. I had no opportunity to falsify data even had I wanted to.

    And this pathological liar’s response when I point that he is quite obviously lying? He responds (see here):

    This is the third or fourth time Fizzy-cyst Dovid has whined about the exposure of his less-than-illustrious tenure at Sanford and Son university.
    UR readers, I ask you this, if the allegations had no merit, of course Fizzy Dov would ignore them and not make an issue out of it.

    But it really gets under his skin. The fact that he could be exposed as an academic fraud has entailed many a sleepless night.

    Again, note: he does not claim to have any evidence.

    Instead, he explains that “UR readers” should believe him, because it does annoy me to have someone blatantly libel me in this way!

    Because, I suppose, an innocent person would not be annoyed by being blatantly libeled?

    The important point here is that this does not cause the 911 Truthers here to dismiss Truth Vigilante as the obvious pathologically lying thug that he is.

    He continues to get approval.

    You see my point?

    This matter with Truth Vigilante is open and shut.

    But it makes no difference.

    There is no possibility at all — absolutely zero — of getting cultists like 911 Truthers to behave honestly.

    You and I have discussed the issue of Evangelicals and the fact that the Bible is obviously not literally, word for word, true: for example, the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke blatantly and bizarrely contradict each other.

    I have pointed this out to fundamentalists: it makes no difference.

    Just like with 911 Truthers.

    In both cases, what they care about is their self-image and their self-identification as members of some supposedly elite group.

    It goes back to my favorite quote from Vonnegut:

    And here, according to Trout, was the reason human beings could not reject ideas because they were bad: “Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity.

    “The ideas Earthlings held didn’t matter for hundreds of thousands of years, since they couldn’t do much about them anyway. Ideas might as well be badges as anything.

    “They even had a saying about the futility of ideas: ‘If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.’

    “And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense or decency or self-preservation, but for friendliness.

    “Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead. And even when they built computers to do some thinking for them, they designed them not so much for wisdom as for friendliness. So they were doomed. Homicidal beggars could ride.”

    Yes, that is what Sceintology and Young Earth Creationism and Mormonism and fundamentalism and, yes, the 911 Truthers are: groups whose beliefs are badges of group identity.

    Anyone here want to prove me wrong?

    Show me all the 911 Truthers willing to denounce Truth Vigilante for the obvious pathological liar that he is.

    Is there even one 911 Truther here willing to do that?

    Even one?

    Our Hitler -lover (see here) Truth Vigilante wrote to me:

    Fizzy-cyst Dovid writes (in relation to the 19 Muslims that were falsely accused of hijacking four aircraft on 9/11):

    It was something like twenty guys, a few of whom learned some very, very basic flying skills (they did not learn how to land!) and who managed to get through lax security at Logan, Newark, and Dulles.

    Dovid Miller writes this despite the info I posted in an earlier comment that emphatically demonstrated that THERE IS NO PROOF THAT A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE 19 INDIVIDUALS BOARDED ANY OF THOSE FOUR AIRCRAFT.

    Moreover, SEVEN (7) of them were still alive after 9/11.

    Well, that would be something if you had actual evidence for that!

    Don’t you think that maybe some media outlet not controlled by the Deep State — say al-Jazeera or rt.com or The Grayzone or Tucker — might have published that evidence if it really existed?

    But it is just one more of your lies, isn’t it?

    I want to remind everyone that you made the following maliciously false accusation against me (see here) in which you claimed that I have:

    been shunned by fellow academics because he has a history of peddling junk science/been a serial offender in falsifying data etc,

    But I gotta admit: you certainly have your fellow 911 Truthers pegged!

    Because not a one has been willing to denounce you as the obvious pathological liar that you are. Despite the fact that the proof is beyond dispute.

    Because they are all pathetically evil members of a cult.

    It puzzles me that most people don’t.

    I’d say I hate conscious lies, calculated to deceive. In fact, they infuriate me.

    But I see someone like Truth Vigilante as more incapable of distinguishing between what he would like to be true and what is true than anything else; I think he sincerely believes what whatever it is he’s saying when he says it. At worst, in the heat of the fray he just starts slinging whatever abuse comes to hand without regard to whether it’s factual or even plausible.

    That sort of thing is more exasperating than infuriating; infuriating is like when Israel claims it is striving to minimize civilian casualties.

    I didn’t find it either striking or suspicious.

    If I have the sequence of events right, the situation immediately after 9/11 was that Osama bin Laden had taken refuge in Afghanistan, and Afghanistan took the position that we hadn’t proven he was responsible for the attacks — so they weren’t going to turn him over.

    Obviously, if that ploy was to work, Osama bin Laden would have had to deny any involvement in the attacks. It wouldn’t have done at all for him to then insist he had mounted the attacks. Given such a statement, Afghanistan would logically have had to wash their hands of him.

    “But some people cannot accept contingency.

    Mmmm. Are you arguing against some sense of ‘conservation of coherence’, within human affairs (i.e. – what do you mean, precisely, by ‘contingency’?). Assuming you meant the usual, by ‘contigency’, …. that would be a crazy stance for a physicist to take – no? Maybe you should change your knee-jerk critical responsorial psalm from ‘things, over words’ (as directed to those you disagree with) to ‘meaning, over things’. After all, … that is indeed what you physicists are attempting to do (by way of deep dives into said coherence, that we do indeed, find all around us, all the time), … and we salute you on that front, … but jeez, … don’t fucking play low-ball with us, by way of that dis-respect then offered (what is allowed for you is not allowed for us, to your mind, it seems), …. respect is a two-way street.

    People that have managed to ‘change the world’ (as you say), … that action didn’t just happen by accident. This weak signal of coherence is real, …. that a minority of people with clear insights often do see things quite differently than the officious cultural version, …. and usually are flummoxed by this dynamic, …. causing them, generally, to stand-down mostly, on any existential type action (like an assassination, let’s say), that they may be contemplating, ….. but yet by way of action of ‘large numbers’ (many, many, many individual humans), …. you cannot say that this weak signal is an illusion, ….. it indeed does make itself overt, very very occasionally within overall human affairs. It is odd that you seem to discount this ‘cultural weak-signal coherence’, which is obvious (to my mind, anyways).

    Greetings, Dave,

    I hope this comment finds you well.

    I do remember reports at the time (September 2001) of some of the alleged hijackers (four of them if memory serves) being alive after the event. These stories were not widely publicized at the time, though they were not difficult to find either. Here is one such example…

    Hijack ‘suspects’ alive and well

    Whether these are cases of mistaken identity, a part of some nefarious scheme, or just plain old incompetence, I have no idea. Perhaps it’s just confusion due to the hysteria surrounding the event.(?)

    ‘…I just have an innate hatred of lies.

    It puzzles me that most people don’t.’

    To expand on this a bit further — and to tie it into my response to Evangelicals…

    I don’t see religious faith as a lie; it certainly doesn’t infuriate me. I consistently find the various sets of tenets implausible; but others obviously do not. If they are ‘lying,’ they’re doing an awfully good job of it. I just find their conviction at best understandable if mistaken, and at worst simply incomprehensible.

    I leave it at that. It’s like the obvious love the world prior to about 1900 had for poetry — bits aside, I can’t really share it, but I don’t think on that account that everyone up to our era was lying.

    As I already said, there are lies, and there are mistaken beliefs. Newton was wrong about physics — but he wasn’t ‘lying.’ Nor was Aristotle — who was really mistaken — ‘lying.’ It would merely appear they were wrong, that’s all.

    The distinction can be extended to 9/11 Truthers and even Holocaust Deniers. Without going further, suffice it to say that my opinion is that they are wrong — but I don’t see them as ‘lying,’ nor do I find their statements infuriating. More exasperating — again as I said. Such fallacies get in the way of a useful discussion of what occurred.

    Your memory of that period is definitely better than mine, but I thought the main value of the attacks from bin Laden’s perspective, besides the destruction of the WTC and the loss of so many American lives, was that they would provoke the U.S. to enter into a costly quagmire-war in Asia. If that was bin Laden’s motive, and he was hiding in a cave in rural Afghanistan, then he would’ve accepted responsibility for the attacks and as a result would’ve given the U.S. a good reason to invade Afghanistan.

    Did the Afghan government even know where bin Laden was or have the ability to go capture him? It took an elite Navy SEAL unit to eventually go and kill him almost a decade later.

    You may not like to call that “lying,” but I think that is what the ordinary word in English does mean.

    And my own experience in this is not unusual: see, for example, the book by retired United Churhc of Christ pastor Jack Good, The Dishonest Church: he gives evidence from the inside.

    And similarly for the second edition of Caught in the Pulpit: Leaving Belief Behind by Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola.

    Yes, they are indeed lying, and, to use your words, “they’re doing an awfully good job of it.” It’s their source of income.

    Fine — your choice.

    Nonetheless, it is most assuredly true that a lot of Christian preachers — again, some have confessed this to me personally — are knowingly and intentionally lying. And the same is provably true for Truth Vigilante and his ilk.

    We can debate what fraction of both groups are liars. But a significant fraction certainly and provably are.

    Since I recall excellent comment about this from six months ago I am going to post it here: Written by Intelligent Dasein:

    https://www.unz.com/runz/remembering-the-9-11-truth-movement/?showcomments#comment-6147968

    9/11 Truthers are not very skilled at epistemic contextualism. They don’t track the plot; they don’t think about how things would have to be done and what kind of preparations that would entail, and who would have to know about them; they don’t care about who is saying what to whom and why, and what they knew at the time. They just lift facts and snippets of dialogue out of context and assemble them into alternative explanations of reality.

    One particularly egregious example of this is the mythology they’ve woven around Larry Silverstein saying “maybe the best thing to do is to pull it.”

    The Truthers would have us believe that this was Silverstein giving the order to proceed with the controlled demolition of Building 7, but this makes no sense at all in context.

    First of all, the quote comes from an interview Silverstein was doing for a PBS documentary. It was him talking about an event that occurred several years in the past. And what was he talking about? He was talking about a telephone conversation he had with the Fire Commander on 9/11. If this had anything to do with a controlled demolition, we would have to assume the following:

    First, we would have to assume that Building 7 was already prewired for demolition. We would have to assume that both Larry Silverstein and the Fire Commander knew this and were in on the plot to demolish the building, since that is supposedly what they were talking about. We would have to assume that the Fire Commander, even though he intended to blow up the building, for some reason allowed his men in and around the building to fight the fires that were burning there, where they might be blown up or at the very least discover some evidence of the planted explosives. Then we would have to assume that the masterminds of 9/11, having no clear plan as to when they wanted Building 7 to come down, left this critical decision strangely in the hands of Larry Silverstein and the Fire Commander. We have to assume that either Silverstein or the Commander had access to the controls to initiate the demolition, or were in communication with the people who did have such access (in which case, since their locations and communications at the time were known, would be an easily discoverable smoking gun). And finally, to crown it all, we have to assume that, after going through all this elaborate maskirovka to pull off the crime of the century, Larry Silverstein decides to just casually admit to it all on national television.

    The ineptly named “Truth” movement has done irreparable damage to the collective sanity of our society. It has accustomed tens of millions of people to the dangerous habits of sloppy, decontextualized thinking and of believing things without evidence and without reason. And it has created an heuristic out of the loopy notion that official sources always lie about everything, and since they always lie about everything, any crazy-ass alternative notion I come up with must be the truth. This is a recipe for civilizational disaster that has done more harm to our society than the 9/11 attacks themselves.

    Someone gathered 50 videos showing the airplane hit the south tower.

    In reply to Jonathan Revusky about the ‘no airplanes theory’ I made this comment. Challenging him to fire up his brain for once – well it didn’t work. Still, here is the relevant part.
    https://www.unz.com/runz/remembering-the-9-11-truth-movement/?showcomments#comment-6152243

    Put yourself in the shoes of those who planned the whole 9-11 attack, no doubt months or years before it happened. What is involved in this operation. Let me start with few problems they faced in this proverbial scenario, remember it’s just a start:

    One example: you claim the TV crews who were live streaming events on Manhattan were showing carefully doctored material. The airplane and perhaps much more was faked! Right away we have a problem, because this material they were showing must have been doctored and prepared before September 11. It takes time to create such material so it was probably done weeks or months before the attack. Sept 11. was by all accounts bright and lovely early autumn day in New York. How did the people who made the videos account for this? How did they know it wasn’t raining with dark overclouds? Or windy?

    We have more technological problems, how could they create videos beforehand showing none existent airplanes hit the towers and leaving gaping holes in the walls – perfectly matching all the photographs taken after the fact? If there were no airplanes the holes in the walls were made how? How did they create the dent’s in the cladding from the none existent airplanes – seen clearly in many photos?

    Another problem is, how can you get TV stations to air faked material during and after such horrible attack on the U.S? Each TV station has plenty of staff in the know, including techs, how can you get them to play along and keep quiet when thousands of their fellow Americans were killed in this heinous act? Is this plausible?

    Yet another problem the planners of the attack faced is of course air traffic control, both military and civilian, how do you get them to play along when you are murdering fellow Americans, perhaps friends, relatives, ex coworkers etc? I don’t know the details of the theory you subscribe to but we obviously have the problem with the airlines as well, what happened to their airplanes and the passengers. Here we have a host of problems depending on what version of the theory we are considering.

    The first “explosion” in the North Tower came out of the blue and no one was paying attention. It’s possible to imagine the PTB had some wiggle room there. But with the North Tower smoking for several minutes – all eyes were on it, and plenty of cameras as well. How did the perpetrators of the attack manage to fool everyone who was looking and deal with the video footage posted on the web following the attack? Did they have total control over the web and just deleted original footage and replaced it with doctored fake material, and then silenced everyone who posted the originals?

    If you think about it you are attributing god-like powers to the perpetrators of the attack on 9-11.

    The ball isn’t in your court, because there is no ball here to play with. Just nonsense.

    ‘…You are an easy-going guy who would prefer just to block all the liars like Truth Vigilante rather than come our and call them what they are…’

    It’s all relative, I suppose. In the extra-Unz Review world, I’m generally not regarded as easy going.

    Around here? It appears to be a different story.

    In any case, you have to take a utilitarian view of these things. Don’t you think there must be better uses for your time than jousting with Truth Vigilante? I doubt if anyone even reads those exchanges other than you and ‘Truth.’

    ‘Truth’ spews a lot of crap; you become infuriated. I, for one, gather that as I scan over it. Think anyone is reading them more carefully?

    Hell, maybe they’re right. It’s possible. In any case, it’s a different matter than me telling you that I am striving to avoid killing civilians when I just announced food distribution points and then targeted those who showed up.

    There are erroneous beliefs, and there are deliberate attempts to deceive. Even among our Zionists, perhaps one reason I cannot get too angry with Fran Taubman is that I think she really does believe her own bullshit. JackD et al, on the other hand, make statements that they must know are false and/or misleading. They make them intending to deceive and mislead me.

    There is a distinction.

    ‘Did the Afghan government even know where bin Laden was or have the ability to go capture him? It took an elite Navy SEAL unit to eventually go and kill him almost a decade later.’

    There was something screwy about all that. I’m not sure just what the truth was — but I don’t find the official story all that credible.

    Thanks for those two absolutely excellent comments. I was taking a look at this thread and as usual saw all that ridiculous nonsense, both about Silverstein’s supposedly damning quote and the No Planes Hypothesis. Naturally, I was very irritated, but didn’t think I had the time or energy to try to refute them. I’d forgotten those long responses but will now try to keep them in mind for the future.

    Those sorts of illogical absurdities are exactly the reason an intelligent, sensible individual such as PhysicistDave dismisses and rejects the entire 9/11 Truth movement.

    Unfortunately, the biggest problem with 9/11 Truth has always been many of the 9/11 Truthers.

    “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

    Actually, that’s the point. There’s an absolute mountain of powerful evidence regarding both the JFK Assassination and the 9/11 Attacks, though admittedly much of it is obscured by the more foolish or implausible theories that conspiracy-activists have overlaid on top of it.

    The reason you’re not aware of the evidence is that our MSM has entirely avoided presenting it in any reasonable fashion. I certainly can’t blame you, since until about a dozen years ago I was entirely in your situation and had exactly your framework of assumptions.

    Let me just cite a single JFK item I was revisiting earlier today, something probably unknown to well over 99% of JFK assassination activists.

    Prof. John Newman spent 20 years in Military Intelligence, even once working for my old friend Bill Odom, the three-star general who ran the NSA for Ronald Reagan. After retiring from the military, Newman became a history professor and he’s subsequently spent decades using his Intelligence skills to exhaustively collate and analyze declassified government documents from the 1960s, publishing a series of books describing his conclusions.

    In one of them, entitled Oswald and the CIA, he pieced together certain crucial elements of the JFK conspiracy and cover-up and even determined the identity of the key CIA figure involved. That turned out to be James Angleton, the very controversial longtime chief of Counter-Intelligence. Many other JFK researchers had also suspected Angleton on entirely different grounds, but Newman’s work dramatically strengthened that likelihood.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-jfk-assassination-and-the-covid-cover-up/

    Thus, many, many very knowledgeable and intelligent individuals have spent decades gathering exactly the “extraordinary evidence” you request. But since the MSM has never mentioned it, you’re simply unaware it exists.

    Meanwhile, the JFK Assassination field is naturally overrun with every sort of conspiracy-crank, crackpot, and lunatic you can imagine, which serves to totally obscure the very high-quality research produced by someone like Prof. Newman.

    If you’re actually interested in the subject, I’d recommend my own 2018 article as a good starting point:

    “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

    Logically, I find that unconvincing. It presupposes that our initial assumptions are probably correct.

    Is that really the case? Wouldn’t your first impressions be that the world is flat, that the sun circles the earth, that a rocket couldn’t fly in a vacuum, and no doubt more?

    If I have the sequence of events right, the situation immediately after 9/11 was that Osama bin Laden had taken refuge in Afghanistan, and Afghanistan took the position that we hadn’t proven he was responsible for the attacks — so they weren’t going to turn him over.

    Obviously, if that ploy was to work, Osama bin Laden would have had to deny any involvement in the attacks.

    I’m still very skeptical. The whole purpose of a terrorist attack to to demonstrate that a small organization can inflict serious damage upon a powerful country, and not taking any credit for the attack defeats that purpose.

    There’s absolutely no evidence that Osama had anything to do with 9/11, but even leaving him aside, surely you’d exactly some other leader to have proudly taken credit for the largest, most successful terrorist attack in the history of the world.

    Can you think of any large terrorist attack in America for which credit wasn’t claimed? Terrorist attacks without such claims look suspiciously like false flags of some type. Obviously, I’m not talking about a lunatic or two shooting up a school, but an organized terrorist campaign.

    All the terrorist suicide bombings in Israel during the Second Intifada were claimed by the groups responsible that generally released video statements of the martyrs involved.

    If you read Bergman’s very authoritative history of the Mossad, he says that during the 1980s Ariel Sharon organized a huge wave of terrorist bombings in Beirut, inflicting enormous destruction and killing many thousands I think. So he also naturally established a completely fake Palestinian terrorist group to claim credit for those attacks.

    Anyway, even if you yourself believe that Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, isn’t it extremely suspicious that none of the MSM ever mentioned that he’d denied any involvement in the attacks? Supposedly, the FBI never accused Bin Laden of being involved in 9/11 because they had absolutely no evidence to support that claim. The whole thing was merely a concoction of the Neocons and their MSM allies.

    And what about that point I’d made upthread, that investigative journalists have supposedly discovered that during the months the 19 Arab hijackers were living in Florida, waiting for their suicide mission, most of them spent all their time drinking, drugging, whoring, and carousing. Do they really sound like suicidal Islamic Fundamentalists to you? Don’t they sound a lot more like random Arabs, hired off the street for some attack?

    [Colin] And the majority almost necessarily are not. If they were, the various faiths would collapse of their own weight.

    Which is what has happened to Christianity in Europe and what is now happening in the United States.

    I won’t again repost my favorite quote from Vonnegut that I posted above: if you didn’t read it, you might use ctrl-F to find it.

    But that quote is my central point. The tl;dr version, in Vonnegut’s words:

    “Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity.”

    For most human beings, beliefs are badges of group identity.

    When I was a kid, my parents insisted that I would go to Hell unless I gave assent to their crack-pot religious views — the literal truth of the Bible, the Resurrection of Jesus, and all the rest.

    Decades later, when I spoke to them as adults, they both admitted, independently (they were then divorced), that they knew the Virgin Birth did not really occur.

    So, why when I was a kid did they threaten me with eternal Hellfire if I did not assent to the beliefs of the church they attended. Because beliefs were badges of group identity.

    And I was refusing to conform to the group, refusing to demonstrate my fealty by assenting to beliefs that were clearly false.

    Of course, naively earnest child that I was, I didn’t get it. I thought I should simply try to figure out what was really true.

    For many years, I honestly wondered why most of the guys in my Sunday-School class, many of whom were actually quite bright, did assent to these crack-pot beliefs.

    Believe it or not, it was only decades later that I finally realized that most of those guys didn’t really care whether the beliefs were true or not: everyone wanted you to say you believed it, and so it was just easier to go along to get along.

    I think that is dishonest. You probably don’t.

    You raised the utilitarian issue. Well, I am not a utilitarian: I do not think that truth requires a utilitarian justification.

    But, if you want to consider utilitarian issues, in fact it is this human willingness to espouse beliefs that are obvious nonsense, simply to show loyalty to the group, that contributes to most of the truly horrendous crimes of the last century.

    Including the ongoing genocide in Gaza to which you allude.

    Again, quoting from Vonnegut:

    “And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense or decency or self-preservation, but for friendliness.

    “Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead. And even when they built computers to do some thinking for them, they designed them not so much for wisdom as for friendliness. So they were doomed. Homicidal beggars could ride.”

    The old boy had a point, didn’t he?

    I am inclined to think that, in the long run, pretty much the only thing that matters for the long-term future of humanity is simply telling the truth.

    Greetings, Mr. Unz,

    I remember the news at the time reporting that Bin Laden denied involvement in the attacks. (It was reported quietly, but it was reported.) Here’s an example dated September 17, 2001…

    Bin Laden says he wasn’t behind attacks

    I always found it odd that people didn’t know of his denial. It’s like no one was paying attention.

    Don’t you think that maybe some media outlet not controlled by the Deep State — say al-Jazeera or rt.com or The Grayzone or Tucker — might have published that evidence if it really existed?

    Without getting into particulars, most individuals and media outlets have zones of comfort outside of which they’re very reluctant to publicly stray.

    For example, I’ve personally friendly with some reasonably prominent mainstream academics and journalists who’ve privately told me they’re absolutely 100% certain of a JFK conspiracy and 9/11 Truth and have been for decades, but they’d never dare say a word publicly lest their credibility and careers be destroyed. Back a couple of years ago, a prominent national figure—whose name you would certainly know very well—came to Palo Alto to have dinner with me and told me that after looking into things, he’d become absolutely sure that the Mossad had killed JFK. He was even discussing it with some close friends in his circle. But he would never say anything publicly in a million years.

    Let’s use a far less controversial analogy, namely the Nord Stream pipeline attacks. After Seymour Hersh’s expose, I think almost everyone sensible knows that the Biden people had the pipelines destroyed. But before Hersh came out with all the details, almost 100% of the MSM promoted the most ridiculous nonsense, claiming that the Russians had destroyed their own pipelines.

    Prof. Jeffrey Sachs mentioned that when he talked to a very senior journalist he’s been friendly with for 40 years, the fellow told him that “everyone” knew America had destroyed the pipelines—who else could have done it? But meanwhile, his elite newspaper and all the others kept on blaming the Russians.

    Let me take the analogy a step further. After Hersh’s expose, our Intelligence agencies came out with a different and equally ridiculous cover-story, claiming that the destruction of the $30 billion pipelines—the largest act of industrial terrorism in the history of the world—had been carried out by a handful of shadowy Ukrainian activists operating from a rented sailboat. Hersh said that when he first heard that story, he was sure it was just a joke, given that anyone with technical knowledge of diving issues would know totally impossible it was.

    But when Hersh was interviewed on Chinese TV and ridiculed that absurd cover story, the puzzled Chinese host pointed out that it actually sounded very similar to the official 9/11 story, so why did Hersh think it was so ridiculous. Hersh has never looked into 9/11, so he’d never really considered that point and didn’t know what to say.

    If bin Laden orchestrated 9/11, then he would’ve wanted credit for himself and for his organization for what he would’ve thought was a good deed. Also, according to the Wikipedia page for the Afghanistan War, the standard narrative is that bin Laden sought to provoke a war between the U.S. and Afghanistan, but if that’s true, then it makes zero sense that he denied responsibility for the attacks, because as it says in the article, the reason for the war was bin Laden’s involvement in the attacks.

    I asked to see “911 Truthers willing to denounce Truth Vigilante.”

    I am glad that you are one.

    Where are all the others?

    And I was specifically addressing Truth Vigilante’s bizarre and obviously false libel of me. That is open and shut — I do not see that you have yet denounced him for doing that — perhaps you now will?

    Do you think most of the other 911 Truthers here will?

    That is my point.

    Yeah, I have seen you guys going after each other hammer and tongs, which is quite common in terms of internal spats within cults. But you tend to band together against outsiders who point out the truth about the cult as a whole – again, typical of cults.

    One of the things I have noticed is that a lot of the 911 Truthers here who are willing to go after each other seem to be more reluctant to go after Truth Vigilante. Perhaps because he is such a vicious liar.

    As I have said many, many times, I have never taken on the responsibility to refute every single claim made by you 911 Truthers. I could spend every minute of every day for the rest of my life trying to do so, and it would just be a waste of time — you guys are a cult.

    And, as a life-long connoisseur of cults, I know how cults work: presenting evidence simply does not matter.

    Let’s be clear: you guys want to convince me and people like me.

    But I lack the desire to convince you.

    I most assuredly do not want someone like Truth Vigilante on my side! He claims, after all, to be an admirer of Hitler. How would it help me in any way to have him on my side on anything at all?

    I got involved in this discussion because, last summer, Ron specifically asked my opinion about Gaffney’s crack-pot nuclear-explosion claims. I replied out of respect for Ron. Prior to last summer, I had really not paid much attention to 911 Truthers at all.

    But, then, after Ron solicited my opinion, I became intrigued, as a student of psychopathology, by the level of psychosis exhibited by the 911 Truthers here: as I have said, you guys on this site are the richest vein of psychopathology, a veritable Mother Lode, I have ever seen!

    Since you ask about your lengthy post above:

    Look: there are two sets of arguments made by you 911 Truthers:

    A) Specific claims relating to physics, which is my own area of expertise, such as the nuclear-explosion nonsense, the idiotic claim by Truth Vigilante et al. that gravity-driven collapse violates Newton’s Third Law, the claim that the airplanes were holograms, etc.

    B) Claims such as you made above of a stupendously large conspiracy involving fake “live” television broadcasts, claims that the passenger lists of the four flights were all fakes, etc.

    The type of claims I mentioned under “A” I know for certain to be false: I actually know the underlying principles of physics. None of the 911 Truthers here do. They are wrong.

    As to the type “B” sort of claims that you made in your post above…

    Occam’s razor.

    One of my college friends, Dr.Bryan Jack, died when Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.

    Is Bryan still alive and hiding out somewhere? Sorry, I knew him and I don’t believe it.

    Did they grab Bryan before he boarded the plane and then kill him and all the other purported passengers?

    More complicated, a lot more complicated, than the official story.

    And the supposed fake TV broadcasts?

    On a sunny weekday morning, there are always thousands of tourists wandering around that section of Manhattan Island: on several separate occasions I have been among them, over five decades. Those tourists often were gawking upward at the Twin Towers: again, I have been among those doing the gawking.

    If the planes did not in fact hit the Twin Towers, thousands of tourists would be able to testify to that fact.

    How then have all those tourists been silenced?

    Ron Unz has pointed out various loose ends that he thinks are important — bin Laden initially denying responsibility, etc.

    There are always loose ends.

    Have you ever heard a dog barking in the middle of the night? Did you always run out to investigate immediately?

    If you didn’t, it was a “loos end” — you never knew for sure why the dog barked.

    Hey — maybe it was aliens landing in your neighbor’s yard! Maybe your neighbors were picked up and given the famous alien rectal exam and then had their memories wiped so that they cannot recall it!

    Or just maybe the dog just saw a squirrel or a cat or the moon came out from behind a cloud and the dog decided to yowl… or whatever.

    Which is more likely?

    Occam’s razor.

    You guys take little unexplained loose ends — which always exist in any event involving human beings — but then you refuse to consider all the possible, simple, mundane explanations for those little loose ends.

    In summary, here is the situation:

    I. There is a huge amount of open lying and outright idiocy on the part of 911 Truthers, and most of you are unwilling to denounce and ostracize the liars, con artists, and outright fools — admittedly, that would mean getting rid of most members of your movement!

    II. A number of claims have been made that violate very basic principles of physics — the nuclear-explosion nonsense, the idiocy about Newton’s Third Law, the planes-as-holograms claim, etc. — that alienate anyone who is scientifically literate.

    III. As there always are in the course of human events, there are various unexplained loose ends. But guys like you in your post above, rather than looking for obvious plausible explanations of those loose ends (e.g., bin Laden lied in initially denying involvement) invent enormously convoluted, hugely implausible, and clearly unnecessary explanations to “explain” those loose ends. About as big a violation of Occam’s razor as I have ever seen!

    IV. And, most amazingly, when guys like me or Colin or niceland point out any of the above, we are told we must be lying, we can’t possibly believe what we say, we would believe if only we delved in deeper, etc.

    And it is point IV which is the surest sign of a cult: you guys just cannot believe that sensible people consider points I, II, and III to be the actual reasons we do not accept your claims.

    Can you yourself grasp this?

    No, I guess you can’t, because, if you could, you would start to be skeptical of the claims of the cult.

    And, in a cult, beliefs are badges of group identity. To understand what I am saying here would mean that you were giving up your sense of self that involves your being a 911 Truther.

    And that, I imagine, you cannot do.

    Ron, the problem is that whenever I ask any 9/11 Truther for their best evidence — including, I am afraid you (yes, I know it would probably be unfair to label you an actual member of their movement) — the evidence just does not hold up.

    For example, in this thread, you have made a big deal of the MSM failing to report that bin Laden initially denied involvement.

    But, as Adam Smith pointed out above, they did report it — and I myself do in fact remember those media reports. Because of that, for quite a while, I was skeptical that al Qaeda did it: I still think it may have been a cell only nominally connected to al Qaeda — underground movements often work that way.

    And you have asked why bin Laden might initially have lied.

    And the answer is that there are lots of plausible answers to that question, some that have been offered here, that are more in accord with Occam’s razor than crack-pot theories about nuclear explosions or planes-as-holograms or that gravity-driven collapse violates Newton’s Third Law.

    For example, when I pointed out that perhaps al Qaeda was sufficiently decentralized that bin Laden actually did not know about the attack in advance, I was told that the exploit was far too complex to have been planned by nineteen guys.

    Why? Some guys took a few flying lessons, and then took advantage of loose security and some primitive weapons to hijack some planes.

    Anyone who remembers the spate of hijackings back in the ’70s knows that guys a lot less sophisticated than these guys pulled off similar hijackings! (Remember D. B. Cooper?)

    And, again, my understanding is that al Qaeda is indeed decentralized.

    Or perhaps for his own reasons, bin Laden just plain lied. People do that, you know, often for inscrutable reasons, especially murderers.

    Occam’s razor.

    Similarly, you stated above:

    I’ll just mention one item. The hijackers were allegedly fanatic Islamicists who were followers of Bin Laden, and they’d lived in Florida for something like six months before the attacks. Yet when an investigative journalist went down there and talked with the locals, he found the hijackers had all been heavily involved in drinking alcohol, using drugs, eating pork, and spending time in strip-joints or with prostitutes. That’s hardly typical behavior for fanatic Islamic fundamentalists.

    Your lack of experience with fervent religious believers is really showing here! When it comes to religious believers, I am afraid that you are a bit like an anthropologist who relies on reports from tourists instead of doing actual fieldwork.

    I grew up among people who claimed to believe that every word in the Bible was the Word of God. But Jesus said to turn the other cheek, to give all you had to the poor, etc.

    And everyone in the church my family attended would have viewed anyone who actually behaved that way not simply as bonkers but as grossly irresponsible.

    And the church strongly disapproved of smoking and drinking: you want to know how many of the congregants did drink or smoke anyway?

    Human beings are hypocrites. Sad but true. And the 9/11 terrorists probably thought that martyrdom would make up for a bit of illicit partying!

    You also stated above:

    It also seems *extremely* suspicious that all their eyewitness testimony was left out of the official NIST report and was only later discovered through FOIA filings.

    But it is the easiest thing in the world to explain. Maybe someone was just lazy. Maybe someone just forgot — these are government bureaucrats, you know!

    Or, frankly, if I had written the report, I would have thought that stating that one individual heard sharp, loud noises that sounded similar to an explosion was actually better than talking about 150 people.

    NIST admitted the loud, sharp sound occurred. One witness was enough, if they agreed that witness reported honestly. Mentioning 150 witnesses would just muddy the waters: a critic could say, “How do you know it was 150 and not 153? 150 sounds like a suspiciously rounded number!”

    Which of these is the correct answer? I don’t know and I don’t need to know — all of them are more plausible than some grand conspiracy theory!

    I hope you read my reply to Sparkon above: I do not want to waste space by reposting everything I said there, but I will repeat one basic point.

    I assume that you have, at one point or another in your life, heard a dog barking outside in the middle of the night? And that on at least one occasion you did not actually go outside to investigate the cause of the barking?

    When you woke up the next morning, you were faced with an unexplained event from that night before.

    So, what did you think about that unexplained event?

    It is logically possible that the dog barked because aliens landed in your neighbors’ yard, kidnapped your neighbors and subjected them to the famed alien rectal exam, and then wiped the neighbors’ memories and returned them to their home — all before dawn.

    Logically possible, isn’t it?

    Or maybe the dog just saw a cat or was chasing a squirrel up a tree or just decided to yowl when it saw the moon rise.

    Did you ever seriously consider the alien kidnapping hypothesis?

    Occam’s razor.

    You raised the Nord Stream pipeline attack. We have a highly respected, very experienced investigative reporter, Sy Hersh, who claims to have solid sources that prove the US did it.

    I’d like to see independent confirmation, hear from the sources, etc.: even seasoned investigative reporters can be conned or mistaken.

    But Sy Hersh is probably right: “motive, means, and opportunity” are all there. It makes sense.

    Occam’s razor.

    But when you look at 9/11, quite the opposite is true.

    It is just one proven liar, con artist, and utter fool after another — Gaffney, Truth Vigilante, Rurik, and so many others.

    Maybe buried beneath all the horse shit, there actually is a pony in the living room.

    But probably not.

    Occam’s razor.

    Do I think the US government has been completely transparent about 9/11, about what they knew in advance, etc.?

    Is the US government ever completely transparent about anything?

    But that does not suggest that any particular conspiracy theory is actually true.

    Based on past experience, my guess is that they are merely hiding incompetence, stupidity, inefficiency, etc.

    One should never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

    But it would not surprise me if some officials in the Saudi government were involved.

    Mossad? I don’t think they are that reckless… but maybe.

    The US Deep State? Bureaucrats tend to be cautious types, and if that got out they would be executed.

    I doubt it.

    As to JFK… I am actually friends with a person who was an assistant film editor on the Oliver Stone movie. As you know, Stone thinks LBJ did it. My friend and I both think that LBJ was far too cautious and conniving a politicians to take a risk like that: in Pareto’s terms, he was a fox, not a lion.

    The problem of course is that there are way too many suspects — the Mafia, Castro, Mossad, LBJ, etc.

    Who knows?

    As to your acquaintances who claim to know the truth… well, even responsible people in positions of authority can be a bit goofy, especially if they know they will not be held to public account.

    Consider, after all, the people we have running the country now!

    Colin Wright wrote to me:

    [Dave] “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

    [Colin] Logically, I find that unconvincing. It presupposes that our initial assumptions are probably correct.

    Is that really the case? Wouldn’t your first impressions be that the world is flat, that the sun circles the earth, that a rocket couldn’t fly in a vacuum, and no doubt more?

    Yes, and it did indeed require extraordinary evidence to prove the Earth was round (e.g., Eratosthenes’ famous observation), that the Sun revolved around the Earth, etc.

    Colin also asked:

    So why should ‘extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’? What makes ‘ordinary claims’ more likely to be true? After all, as it has turned out, they’re often not.

    But usually they are.

    There are an infinite number of crack-pot claims and theories, quite a few that people actually do propose.

    Almost all false.

    Occam’s razor.

    Once in a while a bizarre theory turns out to be true — evolution, continental drift, etc.

    And those theories did indeed require extraordinary evidence before people were convinced.

    Which is, after all, why people like Darwin are famous: he did provide the extraordinary evidence for his extraordinary claims.

    Unlike our friends here who cannot provide evidence for their extraordinary claims.

    After I provide comprehensive evidence that there is no proof that a single one of the 19 Muslims that were alleged to have hijacked aircraft on 9/11 boarded any of those four aircraft, Fizzy-cyst Dovid comes back with:

    Well, that would be something if you had actual evidence for that!

    My goodness, if ever there was a case of ‘You can lead a malevolent Jew to water, but you can’t make him drink it’, this is a textbook example.

    someone like Truth Vigilante as more incapable of distinguishing between what he would like to be true and what is true ……. in the heat of the fray he just starts slinging whatever abuse comes to hand

    Oh dear, it seems I’ve hurt Mr Wrong’s feelings.

    Whether it be on the 9/11 False Flag or any other topic that I’ve commented on extensively in the UR threads, you can be sure that I’ve done exhaustive research on it before I post anything.
    But the 9/11 False Flag stands preeminent above all.
    There was a period of several years there, where I lived and breathed 9/11, spending a disproportionate amount of my waking hours exploring that issue (as the missus will testify, in light of the friction that it generated in our relationship).
    I have a vested interest in seeing the 9/11 crime resolved and the ZOG miscreants apprehended/prosecuted/and then executed (not necessarily in that order – as the trial can always be conducted posthumously).
    One day, when this matter is done and dusted and we’ve witnessed the demise of ZOG, I may even share what this ‘vested interest’ is with the UR readership.

    That’s not to say that I didn’t invest 1000’s of hours of additional research into 9/11 subsequent to that.
    Everything I’ve posted on this False Flag is backed up with a deluge of evidence (you need only scroll my archival history in the UR threads related to 9/11 to ascertain that).
    I names names, provide sources, provide the histories of those sources and demonstrate that they have long history of unimpeachable integrity. (As opposed to some others in the 9/11 threads who are relying on the output of ZOG affiliated disinfo peddlers like ‘Ace Baker’ and ‘Simon Shack-of-shit’, who came out of nowhere, have NO history of integrity etc).
    I specify precisely the technology involved, the aircraft types employed – NONE OF THEM were Boeing commercial aircraft, and that they were remotely flown drones with NO ONE on board).

    But Colin Wrong has a preconceived notion of how 9/11 played out (courtesy of info obtained from the New York Times and the 9/11 Commission Report edited by that traitor Philip Zelikow), and nothing is going to sway him into changing his mind.

    Mr Wrong, you’re the equivalent of a nag that is well past its use-by date, after a disastrous career in horse racing.

    ‘…Believe it or not, it was only decades later that I finally realized that most of those guys didn’t really care whether the beliefs were true or not: everyone wanted you to say you believed it, and so it was just easier to go along to get along.

    I think that is dishonest. You probably don’t…’

    It’s dishonest. It’s just that there are degrees and species of dishonesty — as Vonnegut also said.

    In my puppy years, I went through a (brief) phase of telling people exactly how I was doing when they asked how I was doing. It may be honest, but it’s not very practical.

    Then there are lies people need to believe. Lies they haven’t critically thought about: a lot of people do that with their professed lack of prejudice against blacks, for example. Lies that are convenient and probably harmless enough: did you check the water pressure after you installed the water heater? ‘Yes.’ Lies of omission. Once I got out of jury duty on a case of assault on a police officer: I claimed I’d had negative experiences with the police and was biased against them. That was true enough — but I neglected to mention the accused looked like he belonged in prison anyway. Was that lying?

    Then there are lies, intended to deceive.

    There’s a wide world of lies; some truly evil, others merely mutually convenient fictions. You go out and have dinner; it’s pretty good, on the whole. The waitress asks how your meal was; think twice before you actually go into the various shortcomings.

    Is that evil? Not precisely.

    Thomas Aquinas goes into the morality of lying. One example he uses is that your brother flees through the room you’re in. The man chasing him comes in with a knife: ‘did your brother pass through here?’

    Obviously, the moral course of action is to lie. Indeed, if one is dealing with coercive authority — the state, for example — it becomes debatable as to whether it is wrong to lie or not. Suppose I’ve put up a fence on my property, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a fine fence, and not a problem for anyone in any way.

    But it’s not to code. A building inspector sees the fence. (Here, note that if it was there when you bought the property, it usually can stay as it is — but if you built it, it’ll be a violation.)

    ‘Did you build that fence?’

    I’ll say ‘no.’ If you want to submit to the authority of the state, you go ahead and say, ‘yes.

    That’s the sort of person he his. He’ll say and do anything to ingratiate himself with his ADL/B’nai B’rith benefactors.
    Earlier in this thread, Dr Kevin Barrett and Ron Unz himself pointed out a small handful (of the hundreds of anomalies) in the official 9/11 narrative.
    Fizzy-cyst Dovid then scurried off like a cockroach every time, knowing he was unable to put out a counter argument.
    He won’t challenge them – because he’s intellectually and morally bankrupt and knows that Barrett and Unz will wipe the floor with him.

    ‘…Prof. Jeffrey Sachs mentioned that when he talked to a very senior journalist he’s been friendly with for 40 years, the fellow told him that “everyone” knew America had destroyed the pipelines—who else could have done it? But meanwhile, his elite newspaper and all the others kept on blaming the Russians…’

    I knew some perfectly intelligent people who did the same. To me, ‘Russia did it’ was nonsensical: why would the Russians blow up the pipeline — and their major lever of coercion against Germany?

    Yet these people insisted on the plausibility of the official story. They weren’t lying; they needed to believe. It was too radically upsetting to their view of the world to accept that the Western powers had variously either done it themselves or kept silent even though they knew who had done it.

    It is a bit like Physicist Dave’s Fundamentalists who need to believe the Bible is literal truth. It’s not lying precisely; it’s that the alternative is too upsetting.

    It took an elite Navy SEAL unit to eventually go and kill him [Osama Bin Laden] almost a decade later.

    Chubby-shev, you’re a smart lad/lass and have posted numerous worthwhile comments that I recall reading. Yet you make an uninformed comment like that above.

    FACT: OBL died of renal failure in Dec. 2001 (3 months after 9/11). No Navy Seal Team killed him*.

    (*Although Barack Obama, under orders from his ZOG controllers, DID kill the Navy Seal Team that was allegedly killing OBL in 2011 in Abbottabad Pakistan – because the Seal Team could no longer stomach the deception, and it was weighing on their conscience.
    They were going to come clean and tell the truth of what happened.
    Well, ZOG was not going to tolerate that – so they were ALL killed. I’ll fill you in on that in a subsequent comment).

    You urgently need to read the following article written by Paul Craig Roberts titled ‘Obama Did Not Kill Osama bin Laden: The American People Live In a World of False Narratives’:

    I have read your current exchange thread with Colin Wright with interest. I agree that seeking ‘closer to the truth’ perspectives is the key (key to the human success that we have indeed experienced, …. and therefore key to the future prospects of humanity, as well).

    I was faced with the same issue as you as a child and into my youth: The deep belief system, that informs as to everyday human behavior, tends to hearken from the various churches of that 1960’s North American culture. And my family (parents and their colleagues and their parents) were very devout Roman Catholic, involving themselves in various volunteer efforts within the church life, despite their otherwise extremely busy lives (except my maternal grandfather was nonpracticing Methodist background, if I recall correctly). But the difference was that in the very boisterous household I grew up in (5 children), …. my parents did not shame me for the concerns and questions I raised. My parents wanted children that would not be afraid to think for themselves, when the chips were down. Pretty much everything they did, was to eventuate just that, for all their 5 children. What happened was, …. once I began to voice these questions as a child, …. my mother wanted to know more, as to why I would think these things. I really can’t say enough about the overflowing kindness my mother showed me (with my Dad’s support too) that way. That was the beginning of a new feature of the relationship I had with my gracious Mom, …. she was respecting me as an intellectual/spiritual colleague (and she too had that bent, and a good mind, like myself), even by the time I was 12, that led to a life-long philosophical/theological discussion, ….. that never ever ended until the days she passed almost 4 year ago now (i.e. – she was more than just a mother to me, …. if that is even possible, …. mothers are just so important for any child, just a mothers).

    Of course you are spot-on with respect to your assessment that: “For most human beings, beliefs are badges of group identity.” Yes humans need personal identities, in order to navigate the social world, as the social world is made up of competing group identities (this group identity dynamic is most probably a function of the language impetus). Of course that goes for you too (no one can escape this extremely deep human social dynamic). You do agree with this point of logic – no? Assuming so, thus, … one would then think, that you would see, that the prescription then, is ontological humility. Note that by my description of this human attitude of ontological humility, it is clear that much more rigor is required, with respect to your seeming claims that human heart-centrism is a pathological condition (i.e. – in terms of the future prospects of humanity, … your seeming claim is that this attribute will be our downfall). If you do indeed ‘believe’ that human heart-centrism is a pathological condition in that sense, you will probably seek to excise it. Impossible I say. Because: You possess ‘beliefs’ Dave. This is logical.

    What I found out amidst the life-long philosophical/theological discussions I conducted with my mother, is that the church leadership (among all Christian denominations actually, … I later learned by way of going to different church denominations and partaking, an a quite long-ongoing experiment) are not on par, with their congregations, with respect to normalized ontological humility (though ontological humility is not overtly sponsored in the culture, … it is an undercurrent acting on each individual’s particular psyche, either more or less, nevertheless). Church leadership attracts deficients (i.e. -deficients in the ‘psychopathic’ way, as is a concept category that intrigues you, as you say).

    This psychopathology thing is most interesting. There are varying degrees. We must all heed, to see it in ourselves (and not just others), so as to guard against that slippery slope. Then one can understand.

    But they’re not in the pocket of Netanyahu either. In fact, there’re indications that US officials would like to engineer some kind of Color Revolution in Israel against Netanyahu and Likud. That itself may provide a motive for them to simply accept whatever figures Hamas produces.

    While the war in Gaza has obviously led to many ugly scenes, it simply is not possible at this stage to be sure of overall casualty figures. The Tablet is definitely right on that much. That doesn’t mean that anyone should be supporting Netanyahu until casualty figures are verified. But there is a possibility that some of those who eagerly adopted the highest estimates for political motives may get on egg on their faces eventually.

    Occam’s razor.

    FFS, how many times does the malevolent Jew Dovid Miller mention Oscar’s Razor in that comment and others before it?
    Anyone that has to reference something equivalent to an old wives tale (like Occam’s Shaver), is an imbecile.
    Sure, Oscar’s Shaver has a reasonable success rate (perhaps as much as 40%) in predicting what is or isn’t feasible in simplistic situations, like the one below:

    Little Johnny’s mother comes home early from work and sees a broken vase in the living room.
    She’s asks her sons (Big Freddie and little Johnny) what happened. Here’s how the conversation went:

    Little Johnny: A miniaturised alien spaceship flew through the open window and knocked over the vase. I tried to protect it mother, and stood in its way. But it zoomed past me at Warp Speed (almost as fast as Trump’s vaxx rollout).
    Big Freddie: No it didn’t. Johnny was kicking his football around inside the house and knocked over the vase.

    As you can see UR readers, that’s one of those simplistic situations where Oscar’s Shaver can be applied. Meanwhile, imagine asking the residents of Hiroshima what had happened to the city in the immediate aftermath of the A-bomb being dropped.
    If one of the residents (perhaps some academic with knowledge about nuclear fission), had said it was an Atomic Bomb, he would’ve been mocked and ridiculed. That’s because the term ‘A-bomb’ had not entered the vernacular.

    If Dovid Miller was around he would’ve starting shouting Oscars Shaver, Oscars Shaver!!!
    He would say that the simplest explanation is the most likely. ie: that the God’s were displeased with us and thus Hiroshima was struck with one almighty lightning bolt (which would explain the bright flash*).
    (*We all know from personal experience that said bright flashes that completely illuminate the sky for miles in very direction, ONLY occur when lightning strikes).

    SUMMARY: The 9/11 False Flag was a NO EXPENSE SPARED extremely elaborate crime that utilised the whole gamut of technology available to the Anglo Zionist empire.

    Anyone who shouts out Oscar’s Shaver in relation to ANY PURPOSELY COMPLEX and ELABORATE ZOG ORCHESTRATED CRIME, is a disinfo peddler.

    In the words of Chistopher Bollyn, the premier 9/11 researcher on the planet (other than USMC Lt-Col. Field McConnell):

    The 9/11 False Flag is like a Russian Matryoshka doll. In that it was a crime, within a crime, within a crime.

    It was designed that way on purpose. So that people in future would say: ‘No way they would do that. It could have been done a myriad of other ways that were cheaper/less complicated/used common place technology.
    Of course that’s true. And they could have killed JFK by just putting a toxin in his toothpaste, or getting the White House chef to put a substance in JFK’s evening meal that gave him a fast acting cancer, as they did to Hugo Chavez and Yacob Rubinstein.

    But that was never going to be enough for ZOG. In the case of the JFK coup d’etat and the 9/11 incident, ZOG wanted to make a statement, they wanted to create the maximum traumatisation of the American public, as it would create an atmosphere where it would be much easier to pass the Patriot Act and launch wars of aggression to further ZOG’s agenda.
    And they most assuredly did just that.

    I remember the news at the time reporting that Bin Laden denied involvement in the attacks. (It was reported quietly, but it was reported.) Here’s an example dated September 17, 2001…

    Sure, I certainly didn’t mean that not a single MSM outlet anywhere in the West reported Bin Laden’s denial of responsibility. But I carefully read the NYT, WSJ, and a couple of other major newspapers every day, and don’t recall seeing anything about it, nor was it significantly covered in any of my magazines or other media sources. Perhaps you can find a one sentence somewhere on p. A29, but that’s not what I meant. I didn’t watch much television, but I doubt it got any noticeable coverage there either. But wouldn’t you reasonably regard Osama’s disavowal as an important story, worth substantial coverage?

    Applying a more meaningful metric, I’d bet that 99.9% of the American public remained just as unaware of it as myself for the next decade.

    Here’s another example of what I mean. In the aftermath of the 9/11 Attacks, Bin Laden became one of the most infamous individuals in the world and was massively demonized as the 9/11 mastermind to the entire American public, with virtually everyone (including me) believing that.

    Yet since the Neocons soon decided to foment an invasion of Iraq, over the next year or two their media allies gradually began presenting Saddam Hussein as the figure responsible for 9/11, even though no government official ever made that absurd claim and there was never the slightest shred of evidence. I considered the whole thing totally ridiculous at the time, but supposedly all the TV shows began showing Saddam’s picture next to those of the burning WTC powers, and that simple implication was enough to convince most of the American public. By the time we attacked Iraq, something like 70% of Americans believed that Saddam had been responsible for the 9/11 Attacks, and even years later, 70% of Republicans continued to hold that belief.

    Under those circumstances, I considered most Americans to be total idiots, so I was then shocked to discover I’d apparently been just as “idiotic” myself with regard to Osama.

    If you control the headlines and the front-pages, it really doesn’t matter what sort of disclaimers or retractions are eventually published on p. A29. I’ll bet that a substantial fraction of Americans who follow the Israel/Gaza conflict still believe that Hamas beheaded forty Israeli babies.

    OK Chubbyshev, as promised I will fill you in on what happened to Seal Team 6, who were allegedly the ones that killed OBL in 2011.

    When they died, the parents of one of the Seal team members (ie: Aaron Carson Vaughn) decided to travel to the ‘Go-To’ man in the U.S military. By that I mean the premier expert in the world on the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines MH370, the 9/11 Flase Flag and much, MUCH more.
    The following article titled ‘ …. Parents of SEAL Team Six soldier killed in action call for President Obama’s resignation …. ‘ will interest many of you:

    I refer of course to USMC Lt-Col. (ret) Field McConnell. He is the man that whistle blowers in the U.S military/government/Intel agencies go to with info that expose ZOG crimes.
    They go to him because he is man of unimpeachable integrity, he’s a man that can’t be bought – they KNOW they can trust him.
    And so it was with Billy and Karen Vaughn when they went to visit Field McConnell in 2014 to ask how their son really died.

    Please watch the 9 mins or so of the following video below from 2:01:10-2:10:00 and learn what actually happened to the Seal team that were alleged to have killed OBL in 2011:



    Video Link

    SUMMARY: I strongly recommend that UR readers take the time to watch the whole (almost) 3 hours of that video. McConnell talks about 9/11, the use of BUAP technology to electronically commandeer the four real planes with real passengers and crew on 9/11 (none of which crashed that day), the MH370 incident, Pat Tillman and much more besides.

    If we lived in a just world, Lt-Col. Field McConnell would receive a ticker tape parade (Charles Lindbergh style) in every city and state of the U.S, for his courage and service to his country.
    Instead he was incarcerated/tortured and punished by ZOG for his insolence.

    A truly great American he was/still is.

    Well, what is your point, then? That truth varies according to someone’s point of view? Yes, indeed – just ask those concentration camp victims and those nutty Holocaust Revisionist Truthers who say – water is wet, 2+2 is 4, and “Nazis” didn’t actually make human soap/bologna; they didn’t have orders to exterminate every Jew in Europe; nor can 6 million Jews get killed, repeatedly, throughout history, with no forensic evidence of same.

    The Truthers would have us believe that this was Silverstein giving the order to proceed with the controlled demolition of Building 7, but this makes no sense at all in context.

    Ok. What did Ol’ Silvertongue actually say? –

    “I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, you know, we’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it. And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse.

    In the midst of the frenzy of the most significant event/terror attack in NYC/America ever, the “commander” takes the time to call Silverstein? And, Silverstein doesn’t take note of Commander’s name? The Fire Chief was Joseph Pfeifer; the assistant chief was Frank Fellini. To my knowledge, neither of these men confirmed they were the caller. But, why would Larry be called with regard to Building 7? –

    PORT AUTHORITY TO LEASE WORLD TRADE CENTER TO SILVERSTEIN PROPERTIES, INC. AND WESTFIELD AMERICA, INC.
    Date: Apr 26, 2001
    Press Release Number: 68
    […]
    Silverstein Properties, Inc., and Westfield America, Inc. have agreed to a net lease transaction for a term of 99 years, worth an estimated $3.2 billion on a present value basis. The net lease covers four buildings at the World Trade Center, including the Twin Towers and the retail Mall…..

    The buildings included in the net lease agreement are Number One and Two World Trade Center (the Twin Towers), Four and Five World Trade Center (two nine-story office buildings) and approximately 400,000 square feet of retail space. Numbers Three (the WTC Marriott Hotel), Six (the U.S. Customs House) and Seven World Trade Center (a 47-story office building) are already under lease.

    Wikipedia entry for Larry Silverstein
    […]
    World Trade Center
    Main article: World Trade Center (1973-2001)
    […]
    In January 2001, Silverstein, via Silverstein Properties, made a $3.22 billion bid to lease-purchase the World Trade Center. 16) He was outbid by $30 million by Vornado Realty, with Boston Properties and Brookfield Properties also competing for the lease. However, Vornado withdrew in March, giving Silverstein 14 days to negotiate a new bid….
    The lease agreement applied to One, Two, Four, and Five World Trade Center, and about 425,000 square feet (39,500 m?) of retail space.
    Silverstein put up $14 million of his own money to secure the deal. (21) The agreement gave Silverstein, as leaseholder, the right and the obligation to rebuild the structures if they were destroyed. (22)
    The end.

    So, why was Larry called when he was neither the owner/lease holder/property manager of Building 7, and since when did the NYFD delve into the realm of building demolition, and since when did they seek advice from real estate developers regarding department protocols?

    The very idea that Mr. Silverstein’s undisputed “pull it” comment does not/should not raise suspicion, considering that ONLY Silverstein properties, or the buildings (7) for which he seems to have held responsibility/interest, although rather inexplicably, collapsed wholly and unprecedented in history in both manner and cause, is ridiculous on its face, and rather than slinging about insulting accusations of epistemic contextualism, perhaps the slingers should reflect on the term cognitive dissonance as it applies to those who oppose the average Truther.

    First of all, the quote comes from an interview Silverstein was doing for a PBS documentary. It was him talking about an event that occurred several years in the past.

    Several years? The PBS documentary, America Rebuilds, originally aired on September 10, 2002. It follows then that his recorded pull it statement was made less than one year after the Commander called Larry.

    First, we would have to assume that Building 7 was already prewired for demolition

    Yes, that would be a correct assumption as everyone is generally aware that a 47 story building can’t be wired for demolition in a few hours by firefighters.

    We would have to assume that both Larry Silverstein and the Fire Commander knew this and were in on the plot to demolish the building, since that is supposedly what they were talking about.

    Who claims the Fire Department was in on the fix? Do we know the identity of Fire Commander?

    It’s not supposedly; it’s actually – “And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse.”

    We would have to assume that the Fire Commander, even though he intended to blow up the building, for some reason allowed his men in and around the building to fight the fires that were burning there, where they might be blown up

    There’s no need to make assumptions about the safety of firefighters in Building 7, which collapsed at 5:20 pm –

    The New York Times, November 29, 2001
    “By 11:30am, the fire commander in charge of that area, Assistant Chief Frank Fellini, ordered firefighters away from WTC 7 for safety reasons.”

    Emergency Response
    Faced with a disaster of an unprecedented nature, the involvement of the emergency management personnel with regard to WTC 7 was limited. Nonetheless, no lives were lost as a result of the collapse of WTC 7.
 The loss of numerous firefighters, company officers, and chief officers in the collapses of WTC 1 and WTC 2 led to a changing command structure for the rest of the morning, as new command posts were established and several different chief officers took command and relinquished command of operations at the WTC site.
    Due to the focus on rescuing people trapped in the debris field, providing aid to the injured, and the loss of water in the hydrant system, FDNY was not able to consider the possibility of fighting the fires in WTC 7 until approximately 1:00 p.m. At approximately 2:30 p.m., FDNY gave the order to forego firefighting activity and for personnel to withdraw to a safe distance from the building.
    Con Edison shut off all power to the substation under WTC 7 at 4:33 p.m.
    The end.

    Then we would have to assume that the masterminds of 9/11, having no clear plan as to when they wanted Building 7 to come down, left this critical decision strangely in the hands of Larry Silverstein and the Fire Commander.

    At this point, I would say these assumptions were made by someone who knows less than me, if that’s possible, on the many anomalies/impossibilities of this entire event, but the masterminds certainly pulled off the 6 million Holocausted without concerns for anomalies/impossibilities, so why not keep going?

    There was obviously a clear plan. Who says Silverstein and The Unknown Fire Commander were the masterminds? Who says that? Did I say that? What is obvious is they had foreknowledge of the event, and they certainly knew which buildings would be literally turned to dust. Of course, the extent of the collateral damage could not be known, but was certainly expected/inevitable.

    We have to assume that either Silverstein or the Commander had access to the controls to initiate the demolition, or were in communication with the people who did have such access

    Who the hell is we, and Who is making these asinine assumptions? Who was the Commander? Silverstein would be told as little as possible, and rightly so, considering his pull it gaffe.

    And finally, to crown it all, we have to assume that, after going through all this elaborate maskirovka to pull off the crime of the century, Larry Silverstein decides to just casually admit to it all on national television.

    Yes, finally – why would Silvertongue reveal all? Well, he didn’t exactly reveal all, did he? It seems, to me anyway, he veered off course, perhaps due to pressure. After all, he had a most fortunate series of events prior to and after 911. Both he and his children narrowly missed the carnage; he fortuitously insured his buildings for terrorism coverage; he no longer had to deal with that pesky asbestos remediation…..did he offer an explanation for his pull it statement? I believe he said he was referring to the firefighters within the building – to pull them out. Let’s assume that’s correct (it is) – as documented above, and see below, the building was evacuated after the impact at Tower 1, and there was insufficient water for firefighting in an unoccupied building, therefore there were no firefighters to pull out. Who assumes that firefighters and first responders are referred to as it? Again, Who assumes that mysterious, unknown Fire Commanders ask real estate developers for advice or policy approval?

    Continuation of NIST

    WTC 7 had the following active fire protection systems: fire alarms, smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, smoke control systems, and automatic sprinklers. Each was designed, constructed, and apparently maintained consistent with applicable building codes and standards.
    The standpipe and automatic sprinkler systems were divided into three zones. As prescribed by the NYCBC, each zone had a primary and secondary water supply.
    The primary water supply for fire protection for the high zone (Floors 40 through 47) and mid-level zone (Floors 21 through 39) was from two water storage tanks on the 46″ floor.
 The secondary supply was pumped from the city water main.
    The primary water supply for fire protection for the low zone, floors 1 through 20, was a direct connection to the city water mains. The secondary supply was from an automatic fire pump, which was connected to the city water main as well.
    Since the city water main had been compromised as a result of the collapses of the two towers, there was no water supply to control the fires on the 7″ through 13 floors. By contrast, the early fires on the 22d, 29th, and 30th floors may have been limited by the sprinkler system on the upper floors, whose primary water supply was from the storage tanks on the 46th floor.
    The architectural drawings indicated that there were fire-rated walls between tenant spaces on the same floor and between tenant spaces and the building core. Spaces housing mechanical equipment, power transformers, emergency power generators, and other such equipment were enclosed in fire-rated partitions.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    ES.1.
    WORLD TRADE CENTER BUILDING 7 (WTC 7)

    WTC 7 was a 47 story office building located immediately to the north of the main WTC Complex. It had been built on top of an existing Consolidated Edison of New York electric power substation, which was located on land owned by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. On September 11, 2001, WTC 7 endured fires for almost seven hours, from the time of the collapse of the north WTC tower (WTC 1) at 10:28:22 a.m. until 5:20:52 p.m., when it collapsed. This was the first known instance of the total collapse of a tall building’ primarily due to fires.
    WTC 7 was unlike the WTC towers in many respects. It was a more typical tall building in the design of its structural system. It was not struck by an airplane. The fires in WTC 7 were quite different from those in the towers. Since WTC 7 was not doused with thousands of gallons of jet fuel, large areas of any floor were not ignited simultaneously. Instead, the fires in WTC 7 were similar to those that have occurred in several tall buildings where the automatic sprinklers did not function or were not present.
    These other buildings did not collapse, while WTC 7 succumbed to its fires.

    ES.3.
    PRINCIPAL FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATION
    The fires in WTC 7 were ignited as a result of the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1, which was approximately 110 m (350 ft) to the south. The debris also caused structural damage to the southwest exterior of WTC 7, primarily between Floors 7 to 17. The fires were ignited on at least 10 floors; however, only the fires on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 grew and lasted until the time of the building collapse. These uncontrolled fires had characteristics similar to those that have occurred previously in tall buildings. Their growth and spread were consistent with ordinary building contents fires. Had a water supply for the automatic sprinkler system been available and had the sprinkler system operated as designed, it is likely that fires in WTC 7 would have been controlled and the collapse prevented. However, the collapse of WTC 7 highlights the importance of designing fire-resistant structures for situations where sprinklers are not present, do not function (e.g., due to disconnected or impaired water supply), or are overwhelmed.
    Eventually, the fires reached the northeast region of the building. The probable collapse sequence that caused the global collapse of WTC 7 involved the initiation of the buckling of a critical interior column in that vicinity…..

    The decision not to continue evaluating the building and not to fight the fires was made hours before the building collapsed, so no emergency responders were in or near the building when the collapse occurred.

    The design of WTC 7 was generally consistent with the New York City Building Code of 1968 (NYCBC), with which, by PANYNJ policy, it was to comply. The installed thicknesses of the thermal insulation was consistent with the fire rating required by the NYCBC. The stairwells were narrower than those required by the NYCBC, but, combined with the elevators, were adequate for a timely evacuation on September 11, 2001, since the number of building occupants was only about half that expected during normal business hours.
    […]
    Other than initiating the fires in WTC 7, the damage from the debris from WTC 1 had little effect on initiating the collapse of WTC 7. The building withstood debris impact damage that resulted in seven exterior columns being severed and subsequently withstood fires involving typical office combustibles on several floors for almost seven hours. The debris damaged the spray-applied fire resistive material that was applied to the steel columns, girders, and beams, only in the vicinity of the structural damage from the collapse of WTC 1. This was near the west side of the south face of the building and was far removed from the buckled column that initiated the collapse. Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from fires having the same characteristics as those experienced on September 11, 2001.

    The subjects of the NIST recommendations are as follows:

    H. Enhancement of the performance and redundancy of active fire protection systems to accommodate higher risk buildings.

    I. Establishment and implementation of codes and protocols for ensuring effective and uninterrupted operation of the command and control system for large-scale building emergencies.
    
J. Requirement that building owners to retain building documents over the entire life of the building.
    K. Inclusion of all appropriate technical professionals in the building design team.
    L Development and implementation of continuing education curricula for training building
    professionals in each others’ skills and practices.
    M. Development and delivery of training materials in the use of computational fire dynamics and thermostructural analysis tools.
    The end.

    4 WTC 4, 5, and 6

    4.1 Design and Construction Features
    WTC 4, 5, and 6 are eight- and nine-story steel-framed office buildings, located on the north and east sides of the WTC Plaza…..
    Because of their close proximity to WTC 1 and WTC 2, all three buildings were subjected to severe debris impact damage when the towers collapsed, as well as the fires that developed from the debris. Most of WTC 4 collapsed when impacted by the exterior column debris from WTC 2; the remaining section had a complete burnout. WTC 5 and WTC 6 were impacted by exterior column debris from WTC 1 that caused large sections of localized collapse and subsequent fires spread throughout most of the buildings. All three buildings also were able to resist progressive collapse, in spite of the extensive local collapses that occurred.

    Wikipedia entry for Collapse of the World Trade Center – Building 7 collapse

    Bldg 7 – Around 3:30 pm, FDNY Chief of Operations Daniel A. Nigro decided to halt rescue operations, surface removal, and searches along the surface of the debris near 7 World Trade Center and evacuate the area due to concerns for the safety of personnel.
    The end.

    I’m not certain that the NIST had any remaining evidence with which to draw their probable conclusions, as unlike the other buildings, excluding Towers 1 & 2, there was nothing left but gravel and dust, and frankly, recommendations by NIST H-M are about as vanilla as it gets – how about assuming they were scrambling to make a lengthy report seem less meaningless than it actually was; how about assuming they believed they could fool most people with impressive blurbage, akin to epistemic contextualism, why don’t you?

    Building 7 was up to code, and the fire protection device, the sprinkler system, was operational initially, so there was no raging inferno within this building.

    In any case, (they) left out the most crucial aspect of their sham investigation regarding Bldg 7 and LuckyLarry – the ol’ Silvertongue is Jewish; he’s a New Jerusalem Jew; he’s heavily involved in Jewish organizations; I’m certain I read somewhere that he’s a dual citizen of Israel, and he’s a close friend of BiBi, with whom he converses weekly, and let’s assume I am correct, and let’s also assume that because he is Jewish, he will not be held to account for his admission/gaffe, nor will any media in America press him on same, and once again, Jewry made millions in profits on the deaths of American Gentiles.

    Ron, the problem is that whenever I ask any 9/11 Truther for their best evidence — including, I am afraid you (yes, I know it would probably be unfair to label you an actual member of their movement) — the evidence just does not hold up.

    Well, here’s one of the paragraphs I’ve repeated in several 9/11 articles:

    With so many gaping holes in the official story of the events of seventeen years ago, each of us is free to choose to focus on those we personally consider most persuasive, and I have several of my own. Danish Chemistry professor Niels Harrit was one of the scientists who analyzed the debris of the destroyed buildings and detected the residual presence of nano-thermite, a military-grade explosive compound, and I found him quite credible during his hour-long interview on Red Ice Radio. The notion that an undamaged hijacker passport was found on an NYC street after the massive, fiery destruction of the skyscrapers is totally absurd, as was the claim that the top hijacker conveniently lost his luggage at one of the airports and it was found to contain a large mass of incriminating information. The testimonies of the dozens of firefighters who heard explosions just before the collapse of the buildings seems totally inexplicable under the official account. The sudden total collapse of Building Seven, never hit by any jetliners is also extremely implausible.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/remembering-the-9-11-truth-movement/#the-9-11-attacks-what-happened

    As I’ve said, there are probably something like 100 different items of very strong 9/11 evidence, and each of us is free to select those that seem most persuasive while perhaps dismissing some others. But none of those minor disputes matter since they all point in the same direction.

    I think the problem is that you’ve never spent any significant time looking into 9/11 and therefore are completely unaware of the enormous quantity of evidence. That was exactly my own situation until about a decade ago.

    It’s as if someone had never taken an introductory physics course and was trying to refute modern physics using very general arguments. It wouldn’t work.

    I grew up among people who claimed to believe that every word in the Bible was the Word of God. But Jesus said to turn the other cheek, to give all you had to the poor, etc…Human beings are hypocrites. Sad but true. And the 9/11 terrorists probably thought that martyrdom would make up for a bit of illicit partying!

    I really tend to doubt that your personal experience with ordinary Evangelical Christians in your community is applicable to fanatic Islamic Fundamentalists preparing for a suicide mission. I’ve never heard of such latter individuals drinking, drugging, and whoring. Perhaps you can find some actual evidence that they often do such a thing.

    NIST admitted the loud, sharp sound occurred. One witness was enough, if they agreed that witness reported honestly. Mentioning 150 witnesses would just muddy the waters: a critic could say, “How do you know it was 150 and not 153? 150 sounds like a suspiciously rounded number!”

    That’s a very unconvincing argument. If one witness heard a loud noise, nobody would find that convincing of anything. But if 150+ trained, professional firefighters and rescue workers, many of them former military or experienced with dangerous situations, say they heard a series of explosions just before the building collapsed, that’s a very different situation. And that was only discovered by FOIA applications.

    As to JFK… I am actually friends with a person who was an assistant film editor on the Oliver Stone movie. As you know, Stone thinks LBJ did it. My friend and I both think that LBJ was far too cautious and conniving a politicians to take a risk like that: in Pareto’s terms, he was a fox, not a lion.

    That’s interesting. When I finally began looking into the JFK assassination, LBJ seemed a very obvious suspect to me and I was surprised that 95% of all the JFK researchers totally ignored that possibility. Oliver Stone’s famous film never provided a hint that LBJ was involved, so I’d never known that Stone suspected LBJ. I only first watched his film about a dozen years ago.

    Are you aware that JFK was about to dump LBJ from the reelection ticket and orchestrate a media campaign to destroy him and probably send him to prison for his massive corruption in Texas? Are you aware that prompted by JFK, Life Magazine had supposedly sent a large team of investigators to Texas to dig into LBJ’s scandals and had reserved a huge block of space in a forthcoming issue for their LBJ expose? That exact block of space was then filled with the coverage of JFK’s assassination.

    Are you aware that photographic evidence and eye-witness accounts supposedly indicate that LBJ ducked down in his limosine just before the first shots were fired in Dallas?

    I’d hardly regard myself as any sort of great JFK expert, but these seem like very telling pieces of evidence, and if you don’t investigate the issue, you’ll obviously never become aware of them.

    Are you aware that RFK and numerous other top government officials very soon became convinced that JFK had died in a conspiracy, but with LBJ controlling the government and Hoover, a Kennedy enemy, controlling the FBI, there was nothing they could do about it and they had no proof.

    Are you aware that the official 1968 coroner’s report on RFK revealed that he’d been shot from behind at point-blank range, while everyone agreed that Sirhan was standing 5-7 feet in front of him? Are you aware that acoustical recordings prove that a dozen shots were fired although Sirhan’s gun only held eight rounds?

    David Talbot’s book Brothers provided all that shocking evidence, of which I’d always been completely unaware. A top mainstream academic presidential historian writing in the NYT found it just as convincing as I did.

    That’s what I mean by specific elements of evidence rather than very general arguments.

    Thanks for those two absolutely excellent comments.

    So, you detected no inaccuracies in his comments about someone else’s comments, then?

    Silverstein’s quote is rather curious, and so very specific to demolition, or the ridding of something, in general, that it can’t be explained away. Silverstein is on camera, several years later, refusing to explain how Fire Chief Nigro refuted having made a phone call to him on 911, and further, the reporter asking him for clarifications is tossed from the public event, and Larry accuses said reporter of making a scene.

    If you ask the average person how many towers fell on 911, almost everyone says two. There is a specific reason Building 7 is mostly framed as collateral damage, despite the fact that of the three buildings, it’s collapse and disintegration was most remarkable and precedent setting, as no hurling objects breached the upper floors and no jet fuel was responsible for somehow turning a modern building to dust and hot lava.

    ‘…Unlike our friends here who cannot provide evidence for their extraordinary claims.’

    Yes — but just to pursue this admittedly arcane point…

    Surely ordinary claims require evidence as well? I can state I own a piece of property, and that is an ordinary claim — but if the matter is of importance, you can reasonably demand ‘extraordinary’ evidence to support that claim.

    To take a more mundane example, for a good century it was claimed that the Tsars incited pogroms — a fairly ordinary claim, really. After all, discrimination and persecution are common.

    But no definitive evidence was ever offered to support this claim.

    …and it’s turned out that far from encouraging pogroms, the Tsars did everything they could to suppress them.

    The formula ‘extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’ seems to me to fail in that it implies that ordinary claims don’t.

    Really? How well does ‘ordinary’ common sense accord with Einsteinian physics, for example?

    I’d say that if I have a ‘common sense’ proposition — that the earth is flat, that the Tsars incited the pogroms, that Hitler wanted to conquer the world, whatever — and evidence comes to light that undermines it, it doesn’t have to be ‘extraordinary’ evidence before I may question it.

    After all, ‘ordinary’ and ‘extraordinary’ are both relative and subjective. Surely whatever should lead to me questioning the one should lead to me questioning the other. One thing a study of history can lead to is an awareness of how much people are prisoners of their perspective; that in fact ‘ordinary’ really can be no more than a cultural construct.

    Shortly after 911 occurred, the FBI found things such as al Haznawi’s car at Logan airport
    which had a copy of the Last Night Document:

    Exactly. The collapse of Building 7 is an extremely powerful piece of evidence, totally excluded from all MSM accounts, and it’s also very possible that Silverstein may have somehow been indirectly involved in the 9/11 conspiracy.

    But that’s precisely why it’s so important to avoid tainting that very strong evidence with the very weak evidence of Silverstein’s casual remarks made in an interview long after the attacks. If you mix strong arguments with weak ones, you severely undercut the former, making it easy for them to be dismissed.

    Unfortunately, I’ve already gotten much more involved in this discussion than I’d intended and I’ll need to now focus on my own current work.

    ‘…But there is a possibility that some of those who eagerly adopted the highest estimates for political motives may get on egg on their faces eventually.’

    They very likely will; death tolls usually are exaggerated.

    But so what? Will the moral complexion of the situation change if it turns out the Jews managed to murder ‘only’ fifteen thousand civilians? Do the facts that they sent out messages announcing fake food distribution points and then shelled those who showed up, repeatedly made false claims and supported them with bogus evidence, openly reveled in the slaughter, etc change?

    If I can show that the Germans ‘only’ killed 3.5 million Jews, does the Holocaust become okay? Is it even less of a crime?

    After all, when it comes to criminal culpability, it’s the thought that counts. If I’m at the wheel and my car runs into a crowd, the question isn’t whether I killed two, or killed four — it’s whether I decided I hate white people or just had a senior moment. We can see what Israel is — whether it turns out the final death toll is fifteen thousand or fifty thousand.

    They’ve made it clear.

    “Yet since the Neocons soon decided to foment an invasion of Iraq, over the next year or two their media allies gradually began presenting Saddam Hussein as the figure responsible for 9/11, even though no government official ever made that absurd claim and there was never the slightest shred of evidence. I considered the whole thing totally ridiculous at the time, but supposedly all the TV shows began showing Saddam’s picture next to those of the burning WTC powers, and that simple implication was enough to convince most of the American public. By the time we attacked Iraq, something like 70% of Americans believed that Saddam had been responsible for the 9/11 Attacks, and even years later, 70% of Republicans continued to hold that belief.”

    In Alberta, during the convos at the lunch room table at work and such, …. it was probably the other way around, …. 70% quite worried that the Americans are behaving like they are nuts in the middle east over that switcheroo to Saddam Hussein (with his supposed ‘weapons-of mass-destruction’ charade as sponsored by Colin Powell, which was another bizarre feature of the official American narrative that gave us all great pause in Alberta, around this emerging crypsis of American warmongering efforts)… thank God that is way over there type-thing was the 70% sentiment, ….. yet the American media control, in the end, tends to color the sentiment in Canada anyways, as the years pass, …. people don’t want to remember that we already knew, that circa more than 20 years ago now, the Americans were nuts, geopolitically, during the Bush 2 presidency, …. because they don’t want to see (and then have to deal with) the underlying pattern here. It is JQ duplicity, in the main, that pulls strings, to support this wacky American international interventionist policy in the middle east. However the Asian Muslims who were also present in that Alberta work environment, were quite cavalier in regards to spelling that ‘underlying’ part out for us, at said lunch room table at work, ….. and it turns out their assessment (which they already started harping on about, in 1991 after the first gulf war featuring Kuwait, …. as I happen to know was quite the talking point among Asian-Muslim imams in western Canada, at that time ) were spot-on, all along.

    It appears that my Muslim colleagues of even more than 30 years ago now, are pretty much the opposite of ‘total idiots’. Nice people too, that won’t seek to rub that in your face, now. Yet they do know what is what around the JQ. I notice plenty of people try to spit on that (denigrate Muslims as know-nothing idiots that can’t see straight on Israel and Jewdom if their lives depended on it). People that were present at that lunch room table of 20 years ago now, saw it like the Alberta 70% of that time, and yet now think the Palestinians are obviously sub-human behaviorally. That is pathetic and ‘total-idiot-mode’, … my many such Caucasian, or Christian, western Canadian colleagues, to my mind.

    You’ve written a lot of rather boastful words here, but not a single word in reply to my 1,300 word comment #154, above, where I began

    There were no hijacked jetliners that crashed anywhere on September 11, 2001.

    I actually do have a life — I have other things to do!

    As I have said many, many times, I have never taken on the responsibility to refute every single claim made by you 911 Truthers. I could spend every minute of every day for the rest of my life trying to do so, and it would just be a waste of time — you guys are a cult.

    Well, you had time enough to scribble 1300 more words here without addressing anything I wrote in my 1300 world comment, which, unlike yours, was well written, well composed, with sound logic, and based entirely on facts.

    So, until you do that, I’ll limit myself to a few replies.

    II. A number of claims have been made that violate very basic principles of physics — the nuclear-explosion nonsense, the idiocy about Newton’s Third Law, the planes-as-holograms claim, etc. — that alienate anyone who is scientifically literate.

    What idiocy about Newton’s Third Law? The idea that a 150 ton jetliner could crash into a 500,000 ton building, and just keep going, with no reaction from either building or airplane violates not only Newton’s 3rd, but every law of physics known to man.

    You seem not to know much about this whole topic, but I’ve argued strenuously here against the nukes in basement advocates from day one, so educate yourself before you try to pin that crap on me. Same with the hologram nonsense, but the fake videos are obvious to anyone with any kind of background in computer graphics, which I have, in spades, while you seem to be void in that suit, like Ron Unz.

    The biggest idiots are those who believe two mostly aluminum airliners plunged through the steel facades of the Twin Towers, as if they had been made of air, and then completely disappeared within the skyscrapers, leaving only their cartoon-cutout silhouettes in the Towers’ facades, but not a scrap of legitimate aircraft wreckage.

    Those same idiots believe that four jetliners crashed on 9/11 and left not a single scrap of airplane crash wreckage that could be verified by a part number or serial number, unlike every other airplane crash known to man.

    That’s some physics alright, Dave, but do feel free to explain it.

    If the planes did not in fact hit the Twin Towers, thousands of tourists would be able to testify to that fact.

    You’ve got that bass-ackwards. If planes did hit the Twin Towers, there should be thousands of accounts in the public record from eyewitnesses who saw the planes. Instead, we’ve got a relative handful of accounts from people who claim to have seen a plane.

    Did you know that the first two eyewitness at the WTC interviewed by CNN indicated they saw and heard an explosion in WTC 2, but saw no plane?

    UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was in the PATH train, and there was a huge explosion sound; everyone came out. A large section of the building had blown out around the 80th floor.

    [WNYW reporter Jim] RYAN: Was it hit by something, or was it something inside.

    UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was inside.

    […]

    [CNN anchor Carol] LIN: Jeanne, we are continuing to look at pictures of this devastating scene, according to Sean Murtagh, vice president of finance, who witnessed what he described as a twin-engine plane, possibly a 737. e was almost absolutely sure it was a large passenger jet that went into that.

    Jeanne, you are saying you didn’t see anything initially. You didn’t see a plane approach the building?

    YURMAN: I had no idea it was a plane. I just saw the entire top part of the World Trade Center explode. So I turned on the TV when I heard they said it was a plane. It was really strange.

    http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.01.html

    A guy who lived right across the street was filming at the time of the second attack, and neither saw nor recorded any plane, just an explosion. A photographer standing right below the towers and looking at it, saw an explosion in WTC 2, but no plane.

    It is a myth that thousands of people actually saw a plane. Surrounded by tall buildings few people in New York’s business district actually had a decent view of the WTC towers. Few people reported actually hearing and seeing planes. Most testimonies of those who did are inconsistent with that of a wide-body commercial airliner hitting a building at 800 feet altitude, full throttle. Meanwhile, it was a simple matter for the TV networks to keep the eyewitnesses who didn’t see a plane off the air.

    Most of ’em, anyway, once the cover-up started.

    Finally, you closed

    And that, I imagine, you cannot do.

    You imagine a lot of things, which results in unnecessary creation of fanciful constructs that have no bearing on the topic of 9/11, speaking of Occam’s Razor. Rather than setting up strawmen, or trying to attribute to me what others may have said, just address what I wrote in my comment #154 so you can be sure you’re getting it straight from me.

    To make it crystal clear for you, I’m not “you guys.”

    Ron, the problem is that whenever I ask any 9/11 Truther for their best evidence — including, I am afraid you (yes, I know it would probably be unfair to label you an actual member of their movement) — the evidence just does not hold up.

    The official story of 9/11 has it that 3 buildings (WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7) collapsed due to fires. This would have been the first time in history that steel-framed high-rises collapsed for this reason. This is even admitted by NIST who was tasked with the official investigation into the collapse of these buildings. “The collapse of WTC 7 is the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires.” It would seem then that the burden of proof should fall on those who accept the official story, not those who question it.

    But if you want the best and incontrovertible evidence you can read the white paper by engineer Tony Szamboti.

    https://www.ae911truth.org/images/twenty-five-points.pdf

    In summation:
    World Trade Tower 7:
    COLLAPSE AT FREE-FALL ACCELERATION IS NOT EXPLAINED
    VIDEOS OF THE COLLAPSE OF WTC 7 BETRAY NIST’S COMPUTER MODEL
    World Trade Tower 1 & 2:
    PRE-COLLAPSE STEEL TEMPERATURES ARE EXAGGERATED
    INITIATION OF COLLAPSE – “INWARD BOWING” WAS INDUCED ARTIFICIALLY
    NO EXPLANATION GIVEN FOR HORIZONTAL PROPAGATION OF COLLAPSE
    NO JOLT – CONTINUOUS ACCELERATION OF COLLAPSE WAS IGNORED
    NO PILE DRIVER IS OBSERVED IN VIDEOS
    MOLTEN METAL OBSERVED POURING OUT OF THE CORNER OF WTC 2 REMAINS
    UNRESOLVED

    I think one basic issue for 9/11 Truth skeptics is that they simply don’t know what the official explanations are for the collapse of all 3 towers on 9/11. If someone does not know the official explanations, then they won’t understand AE911Truth’s arguments against them.

    If I can show that the Germans ‘only’ killed 3.5 million Jews, does the Holocaust become okay? Is it even less of a crime?

    But we have records from the likes of the ICRC (International Committe Red Cross) that less than 300,000 Jews died* in ALL of those work camps (which were falsely labelled as extermination camps) in ALL German occupied territories during WWII.

    (*Notice how I wrote ‘died’ as opposed to ‘murdered by the Germans. That’s because the overwhelming bulk of these Jews were NOT murdered. They died were as a result of the 1942/43 typhus epidemics and from malnutrition in the final months of the war, as the German food transport/logistics network was bombed/strafed to a standstill.
    German civilians in the cities were themselves starving as precious little food got through to them).

    Yes, many thousands of Jews may well have been killed by the Germans on the Eastern front. But these were partisans involved in guerilla activities working to disrupt supply transports and such.
    Under the rules of war, such non-uniformed partisans were indeed allowed to be executed.

    Once again Colin Wrong, you’ve demonstrated that you know next to nothing about the Holohoax.

    No.

    Or is it more likely that Hitler was just saved through blind luck?

    Based on your synopsis, I would say it was luck.

    So, the Silvertongue, busy magnate that he is/was, gets badgered into keeping a dermatologist appointment by his wife, who didn’t bother to ask him his schedule before making the appointment, and because he has light hair and skin, he must keep this appointment, inconvenient as it was, and his two children, who also work in the Tower, are both running a bit late that day, and by blind luck, the Silvertongue family is spared, and eventually they become quite a bit more flush with cash as a result of the 911 tragedy, from which they were luckily all spared. As luck would have it, double indemnity for terror attacks saved Silverstein’s turkey-bacon.

    I have light hair and skin, and I live where the sun shines bright nearly everyday, and I wear flip-flops in winter, and I’ve never once been to a dermatologist. I guess I’m just lucky. I wonder how much time LuckyLarry spends in the sun? In shorts and flip-flops?

    After all, when it comes to criminal culpability, it’s the thought that counts.

    Colleen! Silly goose….if your intended murder victim survives, you get hit with an attempted murder charge. In western jurisprudence, what you think of doing, or want to do, or try to do, is not punished/sanctioned equally with what you actually do.

    However – the boys at LeBron’s Blackety-Black Basketball Academy, who can’t pass 8th grade basic skills tests, can stomp a 17 year old White boy to death on their basketball court and walk out of criminal court with sentences of less than two years, having been charged with manslaughter, yet convicted of Aggravated Assault, which seems to be yet another Jewish value – less White People is good for the Jews. So, I think Talmudic Jurisprudence is creeping in to America along with all that lovely diversity, and just in time.

    But take care, Colleen, as thought crimes are making their way into western nation legislation because it seems that the in-toleration of certain thoughts is a Jewish value, and I wonder if that has anything whatsoever to do with the prominence of non-western (European blooded) people acquiring the levers of power in western nations?

    Thanks for the nice words and the article recommendation. It does sound like bin Laden died in 2001. Could the stress of being falsely accused of 9/11 have caused organ damage and a stroke?

    The story of bin Laden’s killing in Pakistan in 2011 does also sound incompatible with the story told by the witness who was at the scene. Were the people in the helicopter that blew up actually SEALS, or were they Afghan troops sacrificed for the sake of the official story?

    What do you think can be done? Personally, …. I think if someone important, linked-up the common thread among all the false-narrative promulgation of many stripes, …. it might work.

    The problem most people have in coming to terms with 9/11 isn’t the evidence, but the implications of the evidence. Most people can easily accept that demolition charges can take down buildings, but they can’t accept this fact on 9/11 due what it might imply. Notice the arguments that 9/11 Truth skeptics always use, “Why would our government do this; How did they keep it secret; Someone would have talked?” But they won’t argue that the 2.25 second free-fall collapse of WTC7 is perfectly consistent with NIST’s computer models of its collapse.

    I once had a conversation with co-workers about 9/11 and no one knew what I meant by a false-flag attack. The idea of a false-flag attack was something that never occurred to them and they were completely unaware that this is tradecraft of governments and intelligence agencies. If you have no concept of a false-flag attack you will obviously be oblivious to 9/11 Truth.

    Joseph Conrad’s novel, The Secret Agent, was published in 1907. The story is about a secret agent working for a foreign country (Russia) and his attempt to frame a terrorist bombing on anarchist groups working in Britain. Wikipedia writes of the novel, “Because of its terrorism theme, it was one of the three works of literature most cited in the American media two weeks after the September 11 attacks.” The fact that The Secret Agent is about a false-flag terrorist attack is not mentioned.

    Well, what is your point, then?

    It seems to me what Larry is talking about is plain and simple. He is telling the fire chief to pull the operation. To quit trying to save the building and pull his crew out of danger. Here is the transcript you provided:

    “I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, you know, we’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it. And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse.”

    Tell me – what does it mean to ‘pull it’ in this context? Why would you think it means to blow down the building? I am not native English speaker so I can’t be sure. I asked Google what ‘pull it’ means and found plenty of examples, but none related to taking down a building with explosions or otherwise

    I remember when I first came across this theory, I didn’t understand what was the problem with Larry’s words. It was only when I discovered “pull it” is allegedly a lingo used in the demolition business, and means to blow up (or down) a building. – I figured out what they meant. I found it totally ridiculous and still do.

    Before 9-11 would anyone reading the above transcript think Larry is suggesting to blow up the building? If not this later added explanation as to the meaning of ‘pull it’ is what this is all about. I know hardly anything about Larry but find it unlikely he is using slang from demolition crews in this interview – in a way kind of circular reasoning. And it’s totally crazy to think he is admitting he had anything to do with the collapse of the building.

    If I understand correctly when this interview occurred Larry was just starting his long legal battle with insurance companies later resulting in billions paid to him. Would a guy in such position admit to blowing down one of his own buildings thereby destroying his legal case, not to mention other things.

    What is really interesting about all of this is how on earth this nonsense went viral among 9-11 skeptics. That’s my opinion.

  241. @niceland

    He is telling the fire chief to pull the operation.

    What operation?

    On what authority and due to what qualifications? Larry Silverstein was neither the leaseholder nor the building manager of Tower 7, nor had he any authority/official capacity with regard to NYC or the Federal government.

    Who called him? Why has no one stepped up to say – “I called him.”?

    To quit trying to save the building and pull his crew out of danger.

    It seems you may have neglected to read the information I posted, which was gleaned directly from FEMA and the agency assigned to the official investigation. There was no available water for fire extinguishing, as the water main was broken when the towers imploded. There were no serious attempts to save building 7, and the occupants were evacuated after the impact at Tower 1 at 8:46 a.m.

    I will assume you are familiar with the official definition of to pull – a secondary meaning, to pull it, or pull, generally means to “remove” something – Recent headlines – “These popular medicines might be pulled from shelves….The FDA can decide not to pull the items from shelves, however this is incredibly rare in a unanimous panel decision….” “Almost 60 dairy products, pulled from shelves at H-E-B, Trader Joe’s….”

    In demolition vernacular – I tried to find some demolition verbiage prior to 2001, but could not do so in a cursory manner, but there’s this –

    The NY Times printed a headline on June 17, 2013, that reads, “Tricky Ways to Pull Down a Skyscraper.”

    Watch a few examples of implosive building demolitions on video, and here are relevant terms –

    Implosive Method – is a type of demolition technique that uses explosives to destroy the structural supports of the building and make it collapse. It is best used to dismantle a building or structure with significant height; the two ways to do this are:

    Falling like a tree…

    Falling into its own footprint (the building is imploded, and made to collapse on itself).

    Before 9-11 would anyone reading the above transcript think Larry is suggesting to blow up the building?

    Yes, absolutely. What else can it possibly mean? The building can’t be saved (from fire) – just pull it! What then happened? It collapsed into its own footprint in the exact manner as the other two – a free fall within less than a minute.

    Regarding his lame excuse about meaning to pull the firefighters out – we do not refer to people, certainly multiple people, as “it.” He would have said, “Get your guys out of there; let it burn.”

    If I understand correctly when this interview occurred Larry was just starting his long legal battle with insurance companies later resulting in billions paid to him. Would a guy in such position admit to blowing down one of his own buildings thereby destroying his legal case, not to mention other things.

    You are not incorrect to wonder thusly, and I can only speculate that he was posturing for some future controversy with the demise of Building 7, which was an absolute anomaly without crashing aircraft to muddy the waters. However, his pull it gaffe was made sometime between September, 2001 and September, 2002. He filed his lawsuit in May, 2003. So, there was no case to jeopardize in 2002. An insurance claim of that magnitude would take years to resolve, litigation notwithstanding, and Silverstein went to law school and worked in the real estate business his entire life; I will assume he was certain he had his bases covered. And, as it turns out, he did, because as far as I’m concerned, he admitted/alluded to the demolition of Building 7. If a serious investigation had been made, whether by the Feds or the claim handlers/lawyers, Silverstein would have been compelled to reveal the name of the fire commander, and said fire commander would’ve been deposed.

    Tanabear, you’re a smart cookie. You know that the official NIST/USG/ZOG dictated narrative of how the WTC buildings collapsed on 9/11 is B.S – like everyone else that doesn’t have a Talmudic axe to grind also knows.

    But Fizzy-cyst Dovid has one almighty ADL/B’nai B’rith axe to grind, hence the reason he dismissed the explanation I posted in a Tony Szamboti video earlier on.
    You see Tana, Fizzy-cyst Dovid dismissed Szamboti on the grounds that he graduated from a lesser university than his own Sanford and Son alma mater.

    Dovid Miller says that the junk science taught at Sanford and Son is the benchmark.
    Of course, as I explained to Doofus Dovid, it matters not what academic institution Szamboti graduated from, seeing as he’s the spokesman for AE911Truth, an organisation with countless thousands of professionals and academics, most of which are infinitely more knowledgeable than he is in relation to the events pertaining to 9/11.

    If I was a betting man I’d guess that he is an IDF Unit 8200 operative working out of his cubicle in the Negev Desert, such is the level of deceit and misdirection coming from him.
    He’s certainly not in the league of Fizzy-cyst Dovid when it comes to depraved conscience-free dishonesty.

    You ask: What operation?

    According to Larry’s story the fire chief called him; “I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire”

    So according to this, there was some kind of operation, either going on, or being planned to contain the fire.

    Larry goes on: “and I said, you know, we’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it.

    Why did he mention the terrible loss of life? He is indicating the decision to “pull it” was to prevent more loss of life. Telling the chief – just get your men out of there, out of harms way.

    Imagine he told the fire chief: We had such terrible loss of life – demolish the building! How would that make sense?

    It’s possible Larry is simply making this story up, or he didn’t remember correctly or whatever. What’s the moral of the story – so to speak? Good old Larry is telling the reporter he was worried about the fire-crew and told them to walk away as the owner of the building in question. It may be true or not. In any case he isn’t saying what you claim.

    In my opinion this is just nonsense from start to finish. And actually I have noticed many hard skeptics about the official narrative of 9-11 agree. If you don’t that’s fine and we can disagree about this.

    Well, anyway, Colin wrote:

    Surely ordinary claims require evidence as well? I can state I own a piece of property, and that is an ordinary claim — but if the matter is of importance, you can reasonably demand ‘extraordinary’ evidence to support that claim.

    Well… since you seem to be a (relatively) sane and honest person, I would tend to take your word if you claimed to own a piece of land out in the country.

    If you claimed you had been kidnapped by space aliens… despite my esteem for you, I fear I would want some evidence.

    Sure, the stakes matter: if I were buying real estate from you, I’d want the normal title search done.

    But in the case of the space aliens, I would not believe you without very, very convincing evidence, even if no money were involved at all.

    Colin also wrote:

    The formula ‘extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’ seems to me to fail in that it implies that ordinary claims don’t.

    Really? How well does ‘ordinary’ common sense accord with Einsteinian physics, for example?

    Common sense does not accord at all well with Einsteinian physics.

    Indeed, on April 1, 1967., as a junior-high-school student, I myself found the error in Special Relativity!

    I emblazoned that date in my mind because I knew it was a date that would go down in history (no, I did not find it ironic that it was April Fools’ Day!).

    I was of course wrong, but my point is that I started out very, very skeptical and was not willing to believe Einstein’s claims without extraordinary evidence. And, yes, I was aware of the Michelson-Morley experiment, and, no, I did not consider that sufficient evidence. Which indeed it is not: Michelson-Morley can be explained (this was what I had figured out for myself) by the hypothesis that the speed of light depends on the speed of the source.

    As it turned out, I was not of course the first person to think of this. I pursued this further and eventually found out that, yes, there is extraordinary evidence to confirm the extraordinary claims made by Einstein.

    But, yes, I did indeed start out skeptical until I found the extraordinary evidence.

    Colin also wrote:

    I’d say that if I have a ‘common sense’ proposition — that the earth is flat, that the Tsars incited the pogroms, that Hitler wanted to conquer the world, whatever — and evidence comes to light that undermines it, it doesn’t have to be ‘extraordinary’ evidence before I may question it.

    The claim that the Tsar did not start the pogroms or that Hitler did not intend to conquer the world are not extraordinary claims. So, they do not require extraordinary evidence. Neither the affirmative nor the negative in those cases constitute extraordinary claims.

    But our friends’ claims here that a nuclear explosion brought down the Twin Towers (without the telltale signs of a nuclear explosion) or that the planes were holograms or that there was this unimaginably huge conspiracy that secreted the passengers, inserted CGI into the live broadcasts, and all the rest… those are indeed extraordinarily extraordinary claims.

    For which their “evidence” is things along the lines of “I can’t really believe _______” on subjects about which they have no expertise at all.

    Ron Unz’s belief that the US government is hiding something is, of course, not per se extraordinary at all, since the government hides things all the time.

    By the way, the claim that the Earth is round is not an extraordinary claim today, when we see satellite pictures all the time (or, I supposed, we could say the very fact of the satellite pictures is indeed extraordinary evidence!), but it would have been an extraordinary claim to make to early Neolithic farmers. The only evidence I could think of to give them would been the Earth’s shadow on the Moon during an eclipse… and an eclipse itself is extraordinary, isn’t it?

    And personally I don’t think I would have bought the Earth’s shadow on the Moon argument anyway — always seemed a bit shaky to me. Starting with the fact that you would have to show that that was actually what caused a lunar eclipse.

    Extraordinary claims really do require extraordinary evidence.

    Of course you are spot-on with respect to your assessment that: “For most human beings, beliefs are badges of group identity.” Yes humans need personal identities, in order to navigate the social world, as the social world is made up of competing group identities (this group identity dynamic is most probably a function of the language impetus). Of course that goes for you too (no one can escape this extremely deep human social dynamic). You do agree with this point of logic – no?

    No.

    There were three main reasons I rejected Christianity:

    A) Jesus said to give all you had to the poor, etc., and I noticed that none of the adults in the church really believed it — as I said, it was not simply that they were hypocrites but rather that they thought (correctly, in my opinion, then and now) that anyone who would do that was bonkers. This puzzled me — why didn’t they just come out and say they didn’t believe it? Of course, I eventually found out that the reason was that the beliefs were really just badges of group identity.

    B) The church practiced baptism by total immersion, and I felt the preacher was such a doofus that he might accidentally let me drown if I let him baptize me!

    C) Most importantly, no, I do not seem to have the desire most humans have to prove my loyalty to a group, especially not by giving assent to beliefs that seem to be a bit dicey. On the contrary, I have always had the inclination to question the beliefs of the group, to look for contradictions, to seek out countervailing evidence. This of course is what scientists are supposed to do, but I do not know of any religion that encourages it!

    So, for one reason or another, I do indeed seem to “escape this extremely deep human social dynamic.”

    My family will tell you, rather ruefully, that I seem to have been that way from birth.

    Have you heard the famous story related by Matthew Arnold about Percy Bysshe Shelley (see here)? It goes:

    NOWADAYS all things appear in print sooner or later; but I have heard from a lady who knew Mrs. Shelley a story of her which, so far as I know, has not appeared in print hitherto. Mrs. Shelley was choosing a school for her son, and asked the advice of this lady, who gave for advice — to use her own words to me — ‘just the sort of banality, you know, one does come out with: Oh, send him somewhere where they will teach him to think for himself!’ I have had far too long a training as a school inspector to presume to call an utterance of this kind a banality; however, it is not on this advice that I now wish to lay stress, but upon Mrs. Shelley’s reply to it. Mrs. Shelley answered: “Teach him to think for himself? Oh, my God, teach him rather to think like other people!”

    Matthew Arnold, Essays in Criticism (1888), pp. 205-6.

    I can assure you that my parents would empathize with Mrs. Shelley!

    Although I know for a fact that most people are not like me and Percy Bysshe, I frankly find that fact to be exceedingly odd.

    Why on Earth are humans so disinclined to make use of the mind with which they are endowed?

    Here is my theory of history in a tl;dr form:

    Civilization is built on lies: this has been true for more than five thousand years of all the major institutions of civilizations — obviously, government and religion but also educational systems, the judicial system, the medical cartel, the legal profession, and so on.

    And so the job of any human being with an ounce of integrity must be to end civilization by chipping away at the lies.

    And so this is my quest, to follow that star of truth, to strive against the lies.

    Can I destroy civilization all by myself?

    No, of course not.

    But I am one of millions — we are legion.

    And, as the quote from Vonnegut suggests, in an age of nuclear weapons, perhaps we really had better work on extirpating the lies that make society possible lest we find the alternative to be the extinction of our species.

    Hahahaha. That is pretty funny. A kike-pot calling the kettle black. The kike pulls all sorts of clown-world attributions about the world from his pot (that is probably what the Jewish ‘hat’ is for, …. too much dreck will begin to drip down and smootch over the face, otherwise, … not a good look, so can’t let that happen). Is this therefore the pot to piss in? Oh my, …. that is what this kike wants, no? His invitation is featured by way of his problem/solution dynamic. He makes clown-world problems with great zeal and dedication, so that when people get squeamish about living in clown-world, and begin to say something derogatory about that, … he can go: ‘oh, poor poor pitiful me, … everybody hates me nobody likes me, I am going to make the world eat some worms’.

    Sorry, …. but if one knows anything at all about Cluster-B-type psycho-pathology of the fem-mode, …. it seems as if the psychological designation was made, precisely, for people like this kike. It is just so obvious. The Cluster-B thing, … I am not just making this up, …. I am dead serious. It’s just so fucking bizarre. Look, …. we can all go about our merry lives with a small preponderance of Cluster-B type action among individuals in our midst, … but if this low level rises above a certain still-very-minority threshold, …. watch out then, …. the wheels will come off the culture then, on the way to a massive train-wreck. As such, the pro-social thing to do, is to point out that the pot is blacker than black, and pissing in it (as invited) is not the solution. So what is the solution, then?

    I doubt that the individual using the handle ‘Nicelamb’ is an Icelander.
    I’ve caught him out on numerous occasions peddling falsehoods (invariably supporting the official ZOG agenda) in relation to the Covid Psyop, on 9/11 and other matters.

    If I was a betting man I’d guess that he is an IDF Unit 8200 operative working out of his cubicle in the Negev Desert, such is the level of deceit and misdirection coming from him.

    Niceland has been one of the sharpest commenters on this website for many years, since long before you showed up and began endlessly ranting about “ZOG” and vaxxing in a foolish manner.

    I’ve even occasionally been in touch with him via email, as I’ve mentioned in one or two of my articles.

    I’d say I’m at least 99% certain he’s an Icelander, just as he claims to be, much like I’m 99% certain that Dave Miller is who he claims to be.

    I remember when I first came across this theory, I didn’t understand what was the problem with Larry’s words. It was only when I discovered “pull it” is allegedly a lingo used in the demolition business, and means to blow up (or down) a building. – I figured out what they meant. I found it totally ridiculous and still do…What is really interesting about all of this is how on earth this nonsense went viral among 9-11 skeptics.

    That’s a very interesting point.

    When I first started looking into 9/11 issues about a dozen years ago, I also noticed lots of the activists were focusing on those words by Silverstein. The whole thing seemed so totally ridiculous that I didn’t pay any attention to it and just assumed it was a typical example of the ridiculous beliefs of so many 9/11 Truthers.

    But you’re right that it’s actually interesting why such an extremely weak argument became so popular in those circles.

    For example, I’ll bet it’s gotten more than 100x the attention as the late Prof. Graeme MacQueen’s very important FOIA evidence that over 150 professional firefighters and rescue workers reported hearing a series of explosions just before the building collapsed:

    So very widespread focus on an extremely weak argument has prevented discussion of an extremely strong argument. This raises reasonable suspicions that the 9/11 Truthers may have been manipulated by Cass Sustein-type “cognitive infiltrators.”

    In one of his books, the late Michael Collins Piper emphasized that conspiracy-activists tended to be a very excitable and gullible lot, easily manipulated in that way, and I’d discussed the whole issue in one of my articles:

    I have indeed considered your and your friends’ claims: they are, quite literally, insane.

    Look, you babbling turkey, I am neither friggin’ Truth Vigilante nor any of your friggen’ strawmen.

    All you did was dodge my point about physics to go off on another of your tangents.

    You are positing a conspiracy of a size that simply defies common sense.
    Hundreds of passengers died in the four planes, including, as I said, an old college friend of mine, Dr.Bryan Jack.
    Yes, CGI could make the images. But to suppose that those images could be slipped into on-air broadcasts, that hundreds of passenger could somehow be dealt with in a deceptive way, and all the rest…

    Sorry, but such claims are indeed the sign of insanity.

    [pretentious padding deleted]

    I don’t think discussing common sense or sanity with you is likely to be a fruitful endeavor, so let’s try math.

    There are no bodies from any of the reputed 9/11 passengers, just as there is no legitimate crash wreckage from any of the claimed 9/11 airplane crashes.

    0+0=0.

    No passenger bodies, and no airplane wreckage adds up to no crashed airplanes, and by extension, no bodies and no wreckage adds up to a false flag operation on 9/11.

    I don’t know if commenter Onebornfree is still active at UR, but he is well versed on what videos were aired lived on 9/11. There were only two or three live feeds, as I recall, but please don’t quote me on it. Additionally, one of the live video feeds from a circling helicopter had no visible airplane on first airing, but an airplane appeared in later broadcasts of that video. Commenter Iris can fill in details on that. I’m on a narrow pipe right now, slow connection, and can’t do much double-checking, so I’m relying on my memory.

    The Hezarkhani video was broadcast late in the day (in some time zones) by CNN on Sept. 11, 2001. Similarly, the infamous “nose out” video was aired later in the day on 9/11 by Fox. Either of those videos can certainly raise goosebumps on first viewing, but as we have seen, video analysts have torn them apart as obvious CGI, and of course the preposterous “nose out” video is straight from Hollywood.

    You can’t or won’t see it because your eyes are wide shut even as your mouth is wide open.

    Sparkon also wrote to me:

    ‘But you’re right that it’s actually interesting why such an extremely weak argument became so popular in those circles.’

    It could be seen as a perverse example of Saint Anselm’s justification for applying reason to theology.

    His contemporaries criticized his attempts to prove God’s existence as demonstrating a lack of piety; if you truly believed, you wouldn’t need to prove to yourself that God existed.

    Saint Anselm justified his ratiocinations as ‘faith seeking understanding.’

    These people have faith. They concoct the best arguments they can to buttress that faith.

    …one of the more dismal aspects of the modern world is the way the conspiracy theory has replaced religious faith. People need to perceive an unseen hand — and they do. If there is no God, it must be the Trilateral Commission.

    If that is an improvement, it’s not much of one.

    This probably won’t help, but every time I see this argument, I recall a photo I saw in a book when I was a child.

    It showed a straw that had been driven through a six-inch thick tree trunk by a tornado. It was sticking out both sides.

    The Germans experimented with a weapon that would fire pulses of compressed air at extremely high speed. They got something that would punch a hole in an inch-thick board at one hundred meters or something. The installation needed to generate the pulse was massive, so it wasn’t really a practical weapon, but…

    So according to this, there was some kind of operation

    Yes, indeed; that would be the duly specified Operation of suppressing/preventing fires and search/rescue, and likely Emergency Medical Services (paramedics), but not demolition services, nor seeking advice/permission from real estate developers during operations.

    Most fire departments for larger cities also have fire and arson investigators who examine the debris and collect physical evidence to determine the cause of fire/explosions. I know there were many firefighters who reported several anomalies with regard to the debris – molten steel – but, if I’m not mistaken, the debris was removed from the site and shipped overseas without an evaluation, so this protocol was neglected for some unknown reason.

    Why did he mention the terrible loss of life?

    What does that have to do with anything?

    Because, he’s not a complete idiot? Because he wants to appear concerned about innocent people, and perhaps he was concerned. Why is this statement significant considering what had occurred?

    What is significant is that the “caller” has not come forward, to my knowledge, and Silverstein scurries off whenever he’s confronted over his story, which doesn’t happen too often, as those who do ask are hauled off by security goons.

    He is indicating the decision to “pull it” was to prevent more loss of life. Telling the chief – just get your men out of there, out of harms way.

    Pull it = get your men out of there? Really?

    Get your men out of there = get your men out of there.

    Larry Silverstein = call me for orders with regard to building 7.

    Larry Silverstein = did I hear you correctly? There’s no available water, and everyone, including rescue/fire crews, were evacuated and/or cleared from the grounds hours ago? OK, then get your guys out of there and don’t bother with extinguishing the fire = pull it!

    I am truly baffled that Larry’s unbelievable series of fortunate events with regard to the entire WTC debacle and the subsequent cash cow, which was a result of his fortuitous insurance rider, coupled with his pull it gaffe, is handily dismissed as a wacky conspiracy theory by those who actually believe that some sophisticated group, other than a few bacon-eating, stripper-watching, pissed-off Muslims, actually did conspire to attack the US in order to facilitate major foreign and domestic government policies. If they believe the buildings were assisted in their implosion, how can they possibly discount the use of a common demolition term by the WTC leaseholder/beneficiary with regard to the collapse of building 7?

    [MORE]

    Imagine he told the fire chief: We had such terrible loss of life – demolish the building!

    Imagining is not necessary, my Nice Icelander, as what you wrote above is essentially what he said that he said. No one has corroborated this phone call, and the question is – why did he make such a statement?

    So, if a lawyer wants to question a witness, he/she will depose the witness. Depose is a term commonly used in legal jargon.

    In a restaurant, if a particular menu item is no longer available, they 86 it; restaurant jargon.

    In construction/demolition, pull it is the term for tearing down or removing, and it is also commonly used –

    YardLink (UK construction supply) website info –

    Why Is Demolition Important?
    Building demolition is important as once a building has reached the end of it’s ‘design life’, it is no longer structurally safe. As a result, the building will need to be demolished and reconstructed to make it structurally sound again. This involves pulling down the old building to make space for a new one.

    Total Demolition
    Total demolition involves pulling down an entire building or site. This usually happens when a building is no longer serving an area to make room for something more practical.

    So before grabbing your excavator and pulling down a structure, make sure you have read and understood the above post. This will equip you with all of the knowledge you need before engaging in this type of project.

    Wikipedia – Demolition

    […] The building is pulled down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment…

    Demolition – Manual

    The demolition project manager/supervisor will determine where undermining is necessary so that a building is pulled in the desired manner and direction.

    No, …. the Silverstein meme didn’t gain legs for the reason you say, … not really, … it’s more or less, instead, like this, among those that like that meme:

    ‘I have determined for myself that the official 9/11 narrative is bogus on many fronts. And otherwise, besides all that, Silverstein had just about the oddest insurance set-up for his newly acquired real estate asset requiring asbestos abatement (if I recall the asbestos thing correctly, … just going by memory here). , …. paying twice the normal loss amount?, … and then some few people enriched themselves with large futures positions anomalies and such, due to foreknowledge, …. and alot of Jews didn’t show up for work at that locale on 9/11 (including Silverstein who otherwise had been claiming he was pretty much camped at the site, due to the vast financial interest in this he newly acquired asset, …spending his days visiting all the tenants groups, one by one).’

    So, … yes of course the Silvertein meme, is taken out of context. But everybody that knows anything, already knows. And the shoe otherwise fits. It’s a place holder meme for all I just indicated. So what? People use literary license all the time.

    If the official 9/11 narrative is bogus, I would say that it is pretty much 100% certain then, that Silverstein knows far more than he is letting on around that.

    It would also be the first time in history that skyscrapers were brought down by nuclear bombs under the skyscraper (without the telltale signs of nuclear explosions) or that somehow holograms were so good they looked like planes, or whatever your own preferred kooky explanation is. The “first time in history” argument does not work.

    You seem to be conflating two separate things. If I took a plane trip to Paris, France that would be the first time in history such an event had occurred; me going to Paris. Yet there would be nothing surprising about this as people travel to Paris, France every day. If I stood on the roof of my house and leaped into outer space and landed on the moon, that would also be the first time that such an event had also occurred. So both scenarios posit a first-time occurrence, but one is possible and the other is not.

    The issue with the collapse of the towers due to fires isn’t just the first time that such an event had occurred, but that its occurrence would contravene the known laws of physics. Taking down buildings with explosives has historical precedent and fires do not. I don’t believe there was a nuclear blast under the WTC towers, but I wouldn’t deny the fact that a nuclear explosive could destroy a building.

    What has to be evaluated is the technical explanation that is the official narrative vs. the fake technical explanations given by 911 Truthers.

    So are you denying the fact that explosives/cutter charges can bring down buildings?

    We know that the official explanation is a complete and utter fraud for the simple reason that there isn’t a single scientific experiment that supports any aspect of the official story. If someone asked, “Give me your method for demolishing a skyscraper with fire?”, could you do it? No. Could anyone at NIST? No. Could any engineer in the world? No.

    In Peace, War and 9/11, Dr. MacQueen explains how the Anthrax aspect of the 911 false flag unraveled, as the delivery method of the spores through smoke/vapor was a technology only available in America, therefore the narrative changed from the guilty Muslims to the lone mad-scientist, Bruce Ivins, who found himself under Jim Traficant’s tractor, so to speak.

    I suggest/speculate some aspect of the means of the demise of Building 7 unraveled; perhaps it was intended to sustain more damage, or to appear significantly damaged, to explain away the collapse, but it remained largely intact as the day progressed, ergo the information circulating about “it’s got to come down, one way or another,” and in all the confusion, people on the scene weren’t in a position to evaluate the circumstances. Obviously, the manner in which it collapsed was suspicious, and I also suspect/speculate that the narrative for 7 was not yet reformulated until much later, when much of the proverbial dust had settled, and the “masterminds” were anxious to see which way the wind was blowing, which somewhat explains the utterance of “pull it” before the new story was settled upon.

    I don’t necessarily believe Silverstein was in on the plot, but clearly he knew something. I will speculate, again, and suggest that every criminal event of magnitude must have many worker ants who know nothing or a fraction of the plot; in Larry’s case, it’s likely he was told that there were rumors of a terror event happening that day, but it was not confirmed, etc., but take precautions….who knows, but I have spent over twenty years reviewing evidence for criminal/civil litigation, and there are patterns to be observed.

    Peace, War and 9/11 is available on the internet.

    Dr. MacQueen seems an honest, honorable, dedicated and forthright man, who dedicated his life to searching for answers/solutions to what ails us, and with all due respect to Dr. MacQueen, and to Mr. Unz, I believe MacQueen, based on listening to several hours of his talks/lectures, would agree with me regarding the true meaning of Silverstein’s comment.

    Rest in peace, Graeme MacQueen, and many thanks for your courage.

    Sparkie writes (in response to the asinine claim that the plane that struck WTC2 appeared to be punching a hole right through to the other side of he building):

    Punching through both sides of the Twin Towers would have required punching through the massive central core

    Now, this has been addressed MANY times in the UR 9/11 threads in the past, but each time Sparkie and the CGI/hologrammers choose to ignore it because it eviscerates their poorly thought through narrative.
    I suggest you watch the following video titled : Christopher Bollyn: The Dual-Deception of 9/11 and the Fraudulent War on Terror (you need only watch the few minutes, from recollection, from about 1:18:00 – 1:21:00):

    The reason I say that you should watch those few minutes ‘from recollection’, is that the video no longer appears in my country (Australia), because it reveals TOO MUCH TRUTH about what actually happened in that day. Obviously powerful Jews in my country have seen to it that this video is no longer kosher down under.
    When I click onto that link, I get this message showing on my screen:

    This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on hate speech.
    Learn more about combating hate speech in your country.

    Hopefully dear UR reader, it will show up in the country you’re located in. If not, look for it in BitChute or Rumble (last time I looked it was still there).
    Now, bear in mind, that presentation was not from some know-nothing kook who’s peddling junk science (like Fizzy-cyst Dovid). It’s from CHRISTOPHER BOLLYN who, alongside USMC Lt-Col (ret) Field McConnell, are the two preeminent 9/11 researchers on the planet – they lead the pack by a COUNTRY MILE.
    There is no one remotely as knowledgeable as these two about this ZOG orchestrated False Flag.
    They know more than the rest because they are known truth-tellers and thus there exists a NETWORK OF WHITE HATS in the U.S government/military/Intel agencies that are feeding them info about 9/11 that the rest of us are not privy to.

    SUMMARY: No one with a brain is claiming that the nose of the plane that struck WTC2 is coming out the other side. Only the brain dead CGI/hologrammers are saying that.

    We know that a missile* punched those nice round holes in the C, D and E rings of the Pentagon on 9/11. (Said missile was launched from the Raytheon owned and operated ex-Navy A-3 Skywarrior aircraft, a fraction of a second before impacting with the Pentagon).

    Well, the drone military spec 767’s that impacted with the WTC1 and WTC2 were modified and enabled with FORWARD FIRING ORDNANCE.
    They each fired a bunker buster missile a fraction of a second before striking each building, thus enabling smooth entry of the aircraft into the cavity thus created.

    What the CGI misfits saw coming out the other side was the MASS OF DEBRIS being cleared by the DU missile that would have also made a nice round puncture, just as that other missile did in the case of the Pentagon.

    Bollyn CLEARLY mentions the glowing WHITE HOT EMBER that comes out the other side at a MUCH GREATER VELOCITY than the other debris.
    This is a classic signature trait of a DU (Depleted Uranium) warhead.

    So Sparkie, please try and keep up. It gets tiring that I have to repeat this evidence from one of the premier 9/11 researchers on the planet. When Bollyn or McConnell tell you something, you can take it to the bank.
    Not so for those ZOG affiliated clowns like ‘Ace Baker’ and that other non entity Simon Shack-of-shit, who are obviously being paid to to misdirect.

    This difference of opinion here, as to how to see this Silverstein character, is interesting. Think it through, though. If the official 9/11 narrative is bogus on many fronts, …. Silverstein would have to be in the know just by way of many practicalities (hands-on owner who had just conducted an extensive due diligence involving many high-level engineering firms inspection of all building systems, prior to purchase, … you can bet your bottom dollar that Silvertein read all those reports, … he paid good money for them, … he would have known all the arcane details about the site, the architecture, potential structural weaknesses that could be exploited, central plant, etc. etc. etc.) , … but besides those practical details as to why he would have been in the know, if the official narrative is indeed bogus, …. there is also the additional wow factor to consider: … Lucky Larry sure did get triple-lucky that day (for newly acquired real estate, – gets paid twice for the loss, avoids the cost of asbestos abatement work cooked into the purchase price books, and as well, just by happenstance he lives when others die, when odds say, by his long hours spent at site, he should have been a goner), … and making much hay by way of epic tragedy. Mmmm.

    If one can wrap their mind around seeing this guy, as a guy in the know who enriched himself by way of personal-calculations around the fore-knowledge, … well then, … is that not the same guy (the same type of persona) that is going to just have to find a way to laugh in your face, and rub it in, … just can’t help himself, a guy like that, I would imagine, needs to relish the moments that he recalls with glee, in his mind, when he did just that. If so, this then is akin to Silverstein doing a psychopathic-jerk-off at our expense (and we gotta pretend we don’t see him jerking off). So yeah, … that is a damn ugly picture, and so it is really hard to believe that that is what’s on. Confusing. But there it is. Looks like Silverstein actually is that guy.

    So, … yes of course the Silvertein meme, is taken out of context. But everybody that knows anything, already knows. And the shoe otherwise fits. It’s a place holder meme for all I just indicated. So what? People use literary license all the time.

    Of course it’s taken out of context.

    I guess you are correct if the idea is to have comfortable discussion among ‘truthers’ who already ‘know’ and ain’t worried about ‘minor details’ (like reason or logic) Perhaps many of them know Larry wasn’t actually saying he gave the order to demolish wtc7 but they don’t care because he is obviously involved in the conspiracy and guilty anyways indicated by the very strange insurance case that followed 9-11. Like you said the “shoe otherwise fit”. Perhaps it works like that in the ‘truthers’ minds.

    However, if you want to change the minds of people who don’t ‘know’ it’s totally different story. For them there is no shoe that fits or anything else. What they see is really bad argument, and if they spend some time thinking about it they realize how incredibly stupid the idea is that Larry Silverstein admitted to giving the order to demolish wtc7 on record. It’s outlandish on all levels.

    The problem for the ‘truthers’ here is the 9-11 discussion has plenty of similarly bad arguments and plain nonsense. This destroys it’s credibility. Why would any normal person pay attention to the ramblings of 9-11 ‘truthers’ after coming across few of those? The ‘pull it’ interview story, nukes that were used to pulverize the towers, no airplanes and so forth. Nope, the just walk away and shake their heads thinking it’s all a bunch of nonsense. This is the problem with mixing weak arguments with stronger. It’s like poisoning the well like Mr. Unz has frequently pointed out.

    Yes, … outlandish on many levels, … that’s the point. See my comment #276. I see clown world all around me and you don’t, I guess. Silverstein is clown-meister extraordinaire, to my mind. I wish it wasn’t so. How else to (logically) see it though?

    @niceland

    Further to my first rely comment (still in moderation), … maybe I can add one other way of looking at it, so as to help make my point with you: If you agree that the 9/11 official narrative is bogus on many fronts, and agree that in terms of practicalities, of all people, Silverstein would be key to help eventuate the success of such a ploy (never mind the wow factor of surprising personal enrichment that is very hard to believe is just happenstance within the given short time frame of Silverstein prior involvement at that locale, – even without the practicalities angle), then that means that Silverstein was lying through his smiling teeth, generally, throughout the whole interview in question. So then why did the crafty liar have to go and say something so downright bizarre (given that he would have known that it would be very bizarre to say this was about ‘pulling it’, in the context of his foreknowledge, … but that furthermore, lying like that by way of ‘through smiling teeth-style’, would be known to said liar, to be a somewhat credible excuse for the bizarre statements, as instead naive)?

    It’s like this: If Silverstein was generally lying in that interview, …. then everything he said is psychological breadcrumbs (because his motive, as a liar, as is all liars’ motive, is to manipulate to mislead). That is what police detectives do. They follow those apparent psychological breadcrumbs when faced with a liar known to be presently spouting a lying narrative. Of course same said police detectives are also generally well aware of the patho-psychological profiles typical of lying perps, and so know about the weird psychological peccadilloes, as I indicated in the earlier comments (these perps tend to feel personal power by way of their lying gig, generally, and get off on that, and there are tells).

    Larry Silverstein said the following in regards to Building 7:

    “I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, ‘We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.’ And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.”

    What Larry Silverstein actually meant here is not decisive as we already know based off the engineering and physical evidence that WTC7 was a controlled demolition. However, it can be useful to dig into this statement and parse what is being said. The final sentence, “And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.” This sounds like cause and effect, we made the decision to pull then the building collapsed.

    What did others say about it:

    INDRA SINGH EMT: “…by noon or one o’clock they told us we need to move from that triage site up to Pace University a little further away because Building 7 was going to come down or be brought down.

    HOST: “Did they actually use the word “brought down” and who was it that was telling you this?”

    SINGH: “The fire department. And they did use the words ‘we’re gonna have to bring it down‘ and for us there observing the nature of the devastation it made total sense to us that this was indeed a possibility…”

    Fox News journalist Jeffrey Shapiro wrote the following:

    Shortly before the building collapsed, several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building – since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall.”
    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/shame-on-jesse-ventura

    David Restuccio FDNY being interview by Brian Williams:

    We had heard reports that the building was unstable and that it would be best if it would either come down on its own or it would be taken down.”
    https://digwithin.net/2015/02/09/brian-williams/

    You have to understand that the ‘pull it‘ comment became popular in 9/11 Truth circles in the very early days before architects and engineers had stepped into the debate. So naturally keyboard warriors without access to physic toolkits or engineering degrees are going to latch on to whatever they can find. However, to dismiss the importance of this comment out of hand, especially when you look at the statements made by others, is misguided.

    The problem for the ‘truthers’ here is the 9-11 discussion has plenty of similarly bad arguments and plain nonsense. This destroys it’s credibility.

    Yes, but anybody wanting to become informed about 9/11 should not start by reading comments made by random people on the internet. You would want to start with the books written by David Ray Griffin and the technical articles at http://www.ae911truth.org and the Journal of 9/11 Studies.

    Silverstein did not give the order to demolish building 7; it was obviously already wired, and the intent was likely to pull it down along with the other two, or shortly afterwards, but something went awry. I seriously doubt Larry was the shot caller.

    There was no phone call. It is NOT POSSIBLE that Larry Silverstein spoke to Fire Commander, “gave orders/advice/instructions on the demise of building 7,” and then neglected to catch the Commander’s name. No one has come forward to corroborate his story. There was no phone call.

    Why won’t you answer my question regarding The Pull? Please explain to me the meaning of The Pull as written within the text of SMALL STRUCTURE DEMOLITION MANUAL PROJECT NEPAL, July 2015 – Prepared in Conjunction with Engineers Without Borders, as posted previously, if you would be so kind. I believed you were genuinely puzzled over the term, which is why I found the relevant source material for your perusal.

    Why would any normal person pay attention to the ramblings of 9-11 ‘truthers’ after coming across few of those? The ‘pull it’ interview story, nukes that were used to pulverize the towers, no airplanes and so forth. Nope, the just walk away and shake their heads thinking it’s all a bunch of nonsense

    Well, the planners of the WTC event certainly believed that most normal people would set aside any initial misgivings/suspicions, and believe the government’s explanation, as most normal people can’t conceive of such a crime, in such enormous scope, being committed by America against Americans. America knows not its government, nor its complicit/captured media.

    There’s a saying in America – the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Those crack-pot, pseudo-historians, David Irving and Arthur Butz, said the truth about WW2 was much different from the official story, and if one tries to prove them wrong, they can’t, yet most normal people wouldn’t even bother, as most normal people don’t believe in crack-pot conspiracy theories.

    Larry Silverstein was no crack-pot, by the way.

    Most of humankind needs faith in something that transcends their otherwise ultimately ephemeral and meaningless existence. One may call it an inevitable product of social evolution. Whatever the case, it seems most members of our species are rather destined to that end.

    I don’t see that conspiracy theory has necessarily supplanted religious faith, though I get the bullet points in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram. I’m not sold on the Freudian perspective of religious faith as mental illness, particularly given contemporary psychology’s reevaluation of religious conviction on mental health, which posits noteworthy potential benefit.

    I also see nothing necessarily harmful with standing beyond the boundaries of faith, though I question it from a purely pragmatic angle, given that trust is an aspect of our condition without which we cannot survive and faith is but an iteration of trust providing the ultimate defense against the despair of uncertainty as to why we exist in the first place.

    Of course, lack of ontological certitude is not depressing to some. To most, however, that burden is unbearable.

    Picture this: The ZOG perpetrators of the 9/11 False Flag have much riding on not being discovered for having orchestrated this heinous crime.
    So, do they just sit back and relax, counting their trillions of ill gotten gains?
    OR do they use their vast resources in the media, the Hollywood movie industry special effects industry and elsewhere, to conjure up all manner of ALTERNATIVE THEORIES about how 9/11 transpired (just as they did with the JFK coup d’etat to deflect attention away from the actual culprit), and in the process creating some very slick video productions (some of which appear superficially plausible at first glance)?

    What I write above is not for your benefit Mr Nicelamb, it is for the benefit of other UR readers.
    It is CLEAR to anyone that has followed your commentary, they you have NO INTENTION of seeking out the truth. You are here in the capacity as an apologist for ZOG malfeasance.
    You have one purpose here, and that is the DECEIVE, DEFLECT and MISDIRECT.

    I’m not in the ‘No Planes’ camp, but I can see that many of those that believe in that hypothesis are sincere individuals (although somewhat stubborn and misguided).
    As for the use of nukes being used in the destruction of WTC1 & 2, there has been been a veritable avalanche of evidence posted in numerous 9/11 threads over the years to support that hypothesis, NONE OF WHICH you’ve disproven*.

    (*In those UR threads where the use of nukes theory has been propagated, on the few occasions that Mr Nicelamb appeared casting doubt on some aspect of this False Flag, Mr Nicelamb was summarily slapped down like the ignoramus that he is.
    He never once furnished anything substantive to cast doubt on those comments made by others who were infinitely more knowledgeable than he is.
    Every time he was mocked and ridiculed, he would run off and go hide back in that hole from whence he came – with his tail between his legs, like a whipped dog).

    Yet, like the clueless clown that you are, you poo poo the nuke hypothesis because it’s not something you can imagine, seeing as ‘nuclear explosion’ means something akin to a multi megaton event that blows up an entire city – as opposed to the utilisation of mini and micro nukes that have a negligible or non existent radiation signature (derived from tactical nukes that have been operational for over 60 years).

    I don’t say what I’m about to say lightly. You, Mr Nicelamb, are clearly not an honest broker.

    You have not made any point about physics at all.

    You have merely made the following bald assertion about what happened on 9/11:

    What idiocy about Newton’s Third Law? The idea that a 150 ton jetliner could crash into a 500,000 ton building, and just keep going, with no reaction from either building or airplane violates not only Newton’s 3rd, but every law of physics known to man.

    Which is just silly, in an infantile manner.

    You don’t literally mean it: you don’t literally mean that it violated “every law of physics known to man.” You are certainly not claiming, for example, that it violated the law of Biot-Savart.

    You merely offered a verbal excretion, rather as if you were releasing gas.

    What is really happening here is that you are saying, in effect, “I, Sparkon, cannot really believe that _________.” Fill in the blank.

    Sorry, but that is not how physics works. We work with things called “equations” and “numbers.”

    Show me the detailed equations and numbers that show plausibly in detail that what happened on 9/11 really did not happen, and I might take you seriously.

    But you haven’t, you can’t, and you won’t.

    Your humorous attempt was just:

    I don’t think discussing common sense or sanity with you is likely to be a fruitful endeavor, so let’s try math.

    There are no bodies from any of the reputed 9/11 passengers, just as there is no legitimate crash wreckage from any of the claimed 9/11 airplane crashes.

    0+0=0.

    I think your comment #154 is truly a sign of true mental insanity. I do not think it requires any other response.

    The situation here is covered by Hume’s argument against miracles. Hume’s argument was that in the case of claims of a miracle there are two possibilities:

    A) An extraordinarily unusual event actually occurred.

    B) One or more human beings is confused or lying, which, alas, is far from unusual at all.

    And then Hume asked, which, on the face of it, is always more likely?

    Similarly, in your case we have two possibilities:

    A) A humongously large and bizarre conspiracy occurred, but no one who was in on it has yet squealed on the conspiracy.

    B) Your interpretation of the physical facts of 9/11 (what you facetiously and obviously hyprerbolically refer to as violating “every law of physics known to man”) is incorrect.

    You are obviously not a physicist: you do not even try to explain in any detail how “every law of physics known to man” was violated by what happened on 9/11. You are not and do not pretend to be an expert on collisions at very high velocities.

    Therefore, option B is quite plausible: you just do not know much about this stuff.

    Option A is highly implausible.

    I therefore conclude that, based on basic laws of probability, option B is probably true.

    That is one surefire sign of a cult: “Everyone would believe as we do if only they knew.”

    The explanation I just went through above in detail is what all sane people grasp intuitively about all of you 9/11 Truther guys.

    Maybe.

    But your making bizarrely grandiose claims that the events of 9/11 violate “every law of physics known to man” is just you being silly.

    It was a complex set of events, and, unlike in the case of scientific experiments, we of course cannot replicate the event again and again and again to confirm every single detail of our understanding.

    But, no, I and a lot of other people do not agree that “the 9/11 official narrative is bogus on many fronts.” On the contrary, I think that all of the bizarre, mutually contradictory claims of the 911 Truthers are transparently “bogus on many fronts.”

    As Vonnegut said:

    “Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity.”

    And the 911 Truthers are a textbook example of that: their beliefs are badges of group identity, just as much as Catholics’ belief that the wine and the wafer become transubstantiated into blood and flesh.

    “Here is my theory of history in a tl;dr form:

    Civilization is built on lies: this has been true for more than five thousand years of all the major institutions of civilizations — obviously, government and religion but also educational systems, the judicial system, the medical cartel, the legal profession, and so on.

    And so the job of any human being with an ounce of integrity must be to end civilization by chipping away at the lies.

    And so this is my quest, to follow that star of truth, to strive against the lies.

    Can I destroy civilization all by myself?

    No, of course not.

    But I am one of millions — we are legion.

    And, as the quote from Vonnegut suggests, in an age of nuclear weapons, perhaps we really had better work on extirpating the lies that make society possible lest we find the alternative to be the extinction of our species. ”

    It is odd that you perceive lying embedded everywhere in the culture (as do I) yet none of that informed the oddities of 9/11, apparently. As such, I tend to strongly mistrust your civilizational-ending prescription, (which is a tad nihilistic – no?). It seems to me that you in particular, have shown yourself as not possessing the arbiter-of-truth chops for that endeavor (and as well, …. a more bold claim, …. neither does anyone else, to my mind).

    I have a Ph.D. in physics from Sanford and Son University — my thesis can be read online …. blah, blah …

    What difference does your academic background make if, as you’ve repeatedly demonstrated:

    1) You’re a compulsive LIAR.
    2) You’re willing to prostrate yourself to your Talmudic benefactors for a few shekels of silver.
    3) You’re a proven conscience-free piece-of-excrement that will stoop to falsification and outright scientific chicanery to please your handlers.

    So once again, for the benefit of those UR readers that have not seen the video below, watch the 8 mins of the clip below from 3:12:00 – 3:20:00, as it explains the ACTUAL NEWTONIAN LAWS OF MOTION that cannot be violated.
    It emphatically exposes the official USG/NIST explanation for what happened to the WTC towers on 9/11, as being fraudulent:

    UR readers will recall how Fizzy-cyst Dovid keeps bleating about the findings of the unscrupulous academic Zdenek Bazant, who claims his analysis can substantiate the NIST report.
    But Bazant himself admits that:

    He used a ONE DIMENSIONAL MODEL to come to those conclusions.

    Simply put, Bazant’s report is WORTHLESS, and anyone that uses it as a reference (like Fizzy-cyst Dovid) is equally worthless.

    SUMMARY: Fizzy-cyst Dovid claims he’s a graduate of Stanford university.
    But he’s brought the reputation of that institution into disrepute with his JUNK SCIENCE, hence the reason that he’s now widely referred to as an alumnus of Sanford and Son Community College.

    SUMMARY: No one with a brain […] They each fired a bunker buster missile a fraction of a second before striking each building, thus enabling smooth entry of the aircraft into the cavity thus created […] just as that other missile did in the case of the Pentagon.

    All nonsense. You’re claiming that a bunker buster blew a hole in the facade of the WTC that allowed the whole plane to slip into WTC 2 while creating narrow passages for the wings out to the wingtips?

    You can’t possibly be that stupid, but of course you have an established track record as a shameless liar who has made numerous false accusations against me at UR, just like the lying sack of shit that you are, while making a mockery of the worth “truth.”

    Too bad those so-called experts of yours didn’t bother double-checking all the evidence before flapping their jaws.

    Notice please there is no sign of anything like an airplane firing a missile into the WTC in the Hezarkhani video, or still frame, either one, nor in any of the 9/11 videos. Let’s Roll forum founder Phil Jayhan and other amateurs thought a specular highlight on the nose of the CGI image of UA175 was a missile being fired.

    But get this, in subsequent images of that same area on WTC 2, there is no sign of any hole or damage to the facade of WTC 2 where the “nose out” object seemed to emerge, looking for all the world like the nose of a jetliner as it popped out, while casting a long, sharp, neat shadow on the rear facade of WTC.

    Only CGI could have done that.

    No damage. No hole. No drone. No aircraft wreckage. No hijacked aircraft on 9/11.

    Thus we can be sure the the “nose out” sequence was created with CGI. Conceivably it was a mistake, or plausibly it was just all Hollywood.

    I recall when I first saw this infamous “nose out” video, possibly late on 9/11, and the Fox announcer exclaimed

    “It went right through it!”

    Sure it did, in the land of fantasy and make-believe.

    The laws of physics are expressed in equations and numbers. If you were right, you could lay out, in detail and in a way that we physicists could follow, how the laws of physics were violated by what happened on 9/11.

    Maybe so, but they are manifest in real world interactions. The experimental method is the arbiter of competing scientific hypothesis, not numbers and equations. If the official story did not violate the laws of physics, then real world experiments could be done to prove the official story. This has not been done in over two decades. You can put all the numbers and equations on a piece of paper you want, but you can never replicate Bazant’s crush-down crush-up hypothesis in a real-world experiment.

    Lead NIST investigator, Shyam Sunder said this upon the release of their Final Draft report on WTC7:

    A free-fall time would be an object that has no structural components below it.… What the analysis shows…is that same time it took for the structural model to come down…is 5.4 seconds. It’s about 1.5 seconds, or roughly 40 percent, more time for that free fall to happen. And that is not at all unusual because there was structural resistance that was provided in this particular case.

    This is before NIST admitted to a 2.25 second free-fall in their Final report released in November 2008. So is a free-fall collapse possible with structural resistance?

    If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what his name is … If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”

  291. @Sparkon

    All nonsense. You’re claiming that a bunker buster blew a hole in the facade of the WTC that allowed the whole plane to slip into WTC 2 while creating narrow passages for the wings out to the wingtips?

    The two leading 9/11 researchers on the planet (USMC Lt-Col Field McConnell and Christopher Bollyn), are in lockstep agreement that the drones that impacted with the WTC towers were equipped with forward firing ordnance and fired a missile a fraction of second before impact.
    They know this because they have a network of white hat informants (in the USG/Military/Intel agencies) that have forwarded this information to them. As further proof, underbody appendages (for this forward firing ordnance) are visible in photos of the 767 drone, taken a fraction of a second before impact with WTC2.

    [MORE]

    We KNOW therefore, that this was NOT a commericial 767, since they all have a flat underbelly.
    Only military spec 767’s are known to have these underbody fittings. ie: like this E-10 MC2A military spec version of the 767 pictured below:

    Meanwhile, you Sparkie are a non entity. No one gives a rat’s arse what you think. The sources you rely on for your ‘evidence’ are clearly ZOG assets. They came out of the woodwork, they have no history of integrity. (In fact they have NO HISTORY whatsoever).
    Yet you’ve swallowed the crap they’re peddling about CGI like a schoolboy.

    Obviously the missile that was fired was meant to ensure that the fragile fuselage of the plane would enter the cavity created.
    Personally, I think it was a case of overkill. Even without the missile being fired, the aircraft had more than enough Kinetic Energy to easily puncture the facade of each building.
    But, evidently the perpetrators wanted to ensure an effortless ingress of the fuselage of the plane into the building.

    Meanwhile, the wings of a 767 drone aircraft are very robustly constructed indeed, and travelling at near to that of a speeding bullet (and thus possessing enormous kinetic energy), would easily have been able to sever the quarter inch* thick structural steel of the external facade of the WTC as found on those upper floors.

    (*Yes UR readers, the steel structural members in the exoskeleton of the WTC towers in the upper floors were only a QUARTER INCH thick. After all, they only needed to support part of the weight of a handful of floors above them – the inner core columns around the elevator shafts were doing the bulk of the load bearing and would thus have been more robust than those found in the exoskeleton).

    Also, as I’ve explained in previous 9/11 UR threads (which you chose to ignore), the near indestructible engines of a 767, composed of the highest grades of steel and titanium, project outward in FRONT of the leading edge of the wings and would be the first to impact with the face of the WTC towers (refer to the photo below):

    https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/i?id=6df9ea5585820885e675d4b3f0a7f249f35f32d6-4343452-images-thumbs&n=13

    So, once the engines punctured through the the WTC facade, the wings would easily follow through the shattered porous facade of the building.

    Admittedly, if the plane had impacted down low with the building (say on the 10th floor, where the structural steel members were far thicker and more robust, seeing as it had to support 100 floors above it), that would have been a different matter altogether. But the planes didn’t impact there.
    They impacted high above where the structural steel was wafer thin.

    Sparkie goes on to write:

    You can’t possibly be that stupid, but of course you have an established track record as a shameless liar who has made numerous false accusations against me ….

    For those UR readers not familar with the history I have with Sparkie, he admitted that during and AFTER the Covid Psyop, that he continued to wear a face mask because Tony Fauci assured him they protected against Covid.

    I told Sparkie during the Covid Psyop that there were scores of studies that proved face masks offer NO PROTECTION from an airborne virus that can be measured in microns.
    Then, after the Gold Standard in studies was released (the Cochrane Report), that empahtically demonstrated that face masks are USELESS, Sparkie ignored it and still wears a mask when:

    1) Eating
    2) Showering
    3) Fornicating.

    You see, Sparkie is that stubborn and stupid that no amount of verifiable proof will convince him of anything once he’s made up his mind and is willing to take a particular hypothesis with him to the grave.
    (I dare say, Sparkie is probably masked up at this very moment as he’s reading this comment of mine).

    You see, once a virtual signalling twit, always a virtual signalling twit.

    B) One or more human beings is confused or lying, which, alas, is far from unusual at all

    A1) The extraordinarily unusual event actually was a miracle.

    I don’t think an option (even seemingly impossible) can simply be ignored.

    The Ismailis Muslims do not have a homeland of their own, and are approximately 12 to 15 million (similar to Jewry in population size). The Ismailis have been a political force in Canada too.

    One group wants it all, and the other group is much more measured. The more measured group indeed does fit in with the overall Canadian gestalt, much better. The more measured group indeed does have some very sophisticated views, as to what is what around Jewry (as was outlined for me, by Ismailis for instance, more than 30 years ago now), for them to behave differently, norms-wise, like this.

    This MP dude is freaked because there has been more than 30 years of Muslim counter-Zionist-ideology/argument offered, in Canada by now, …. and as that very grassroots thing was happening (only at the lunch room table at work places all over this great land, for Godsakes), he was asleep at the globalist fatherswheelhouse, I suppose, … and didn’t see what was right before his eyes, for a long long time now. The people (of Canada), generally,want the bloodshed in Gaza to stop. HouseFather is trying to stand in the way of that.

    Of course, as well, there are also plenty of people in Canada that believe that ‘hard men make good times’ and want to sign-up for that, Palestinian-bashing-wise, because it makes them feel good to ‘aspire to kill in the name of glory’, …. but the ‘glory’ part is globalist spoon-fed and left unexamined by this warrior type, in the main. And then of course, you have the Christian Zionists, who are actually peace-loving, but used as useful idiots, … even though it is true they are useful this way, despite the ‘idiot’ part being a rather low-brow and unwarranted attribution.

    The Engine Room, aka Machinery Space is the where almost all of a ship’s machinery and various systems that make the ship operate and function. It is an analogue and parallel of human life groupings in all their compositions and enterprises.

    We could be talking about a machine that has a history, one where it was mishandled, improperly serviced or repaired, in some fashion or another. That makes no never mind in the present and foreseeable future of its reliable function. Machines like proper attention, high quality work and parts.

    JFK, who once raped a young girl in his office, and forced several others into making ham sandwiches and displayed cowardice at leaving Cuban Freedom Fighters on the beaches in Cuba, without air support and cover, as he promised, is dead.

    My machine today has a problem that was created in the past by sub standard execution. Now, I know that it verifiably doesn’t function, and the question is: do I need to go back and gather every conceivable circumstance, dramatis personae, interviews with crew attendended? No, it is not a productive use of time and resources. The ship needs to keep moving and we need to move on to other projects.

    I’m motivated by beauty, aesthetics, Truth, Meaningfulness, and practical concerns and outcomes. Therefore, I don’t really care that much for what is really unverifiable speculation, guessing, supposition, and sorting out information that cannot be connected or made concrete.

    I would rather move on to a solution to the sewage of malaise that The West is mire in. That discussion is concentrated and focused on solutions and alteration. Therefore, I look forward to a General August Pinochet-like figure to electrify the situation and electrocute the principals of our dissolution and destruction. Either put them on vast work farms or dispatch them to the Next World. I’m a forward looking person, all in all.

    The majority of comments are discussions of history beyond relevance to the present, platitudes and generalities, and incremental movements and advocates that will make hardly a dent because they do not address underlying problems. Sometimes you have to do a deep overhaul, instead of a “keep it running” or partial remedy job. Many people do not have the confidence, expertise, attitude, or integrity to undertake a big project, to bet heavy that it will work before the ship has to sail. My specialty was taken over problem ships that were run down, lacking Time Between Overhauls work, and generally sloppily maintained. It took me over 2 and a half years on one ship to properly restore function to the various species in the ER.

    sky-is-falling-false-climate-change-narrative => hoarding of primary discretionary energy source (fossil fuels) => control of future blockchain activity (maybe even that is BTC) => in a world now emerging that may spell the end of sovereign money, you then would have ultimate control of money value, if you can perform the blockchain function at lower cost than anyone else. Who controls the energy, will control the money value, which will control absolutely everything else. But would lower-energy-production-cost legacy hydroelectric projects then be hijacked? Possibly, but it will still come down to the shorter time duration to take fossil fuel production up or down, as the governing factor. Possible evidence for such conjecture?: Look for faux-west globalists to begin to change their tune about Alberta oil, as BTC blockchain activity continues to mature. But then on the other hand, … I dunno, … wouldn’t all that invite crazies to go deep into the Alberta forest, and set up huge incinerators to burn up the forest, to make electricity, for the blockchain activity, for the associated crypto currency reward? Won’t small potatoes people with nothing to lose just start burning everything in sight to make money? Wow, … talk about a Kurt Vonnegut moment ( I think I am having one, hahaha!).

    Also, I gotta say, … the way that Thomas Friedman harped on an on about the special qualities of electric power vis-a-vis other forms, back in the early-to-mid 1990’s, as one of the features that was going to set America apart in her quest to continue to dominate without the need for all those silly heat-energy factories which we can send over there to pollute, …. I mean his spiel didn’t make sense, .. it amounted to waxing poetic about some special magical qualities of electric power, that America would dominate. Mmmmmm. And then – hahahaha!

    I suppose the gulf region is the home of the world’s low-cost fossil fuels. Mmmm. Under this wild speculation of mine – which way would the Sauds go?

I mean – the Sauds had already aligned with the petrodollar scheme back in the 1970’s and this worked for them. The petrodollar scheme already possesses hallmarks of crypsis.

    For crissakes – maybe Thomas Friedman was right? I gotta think about all this, some more (just came to me now). The elephant in the room, of course, is that AI is going to see the matter precisely as I have outlined (that the cost of computational power should be deeply aligned with money valuations, in a direction opposite to the current falling value by way of a Moore’s Law type-thing, if for no other reason, that the human AI sponsors, probably see it this way themselves).

    Well… someone once asked Einstein if he carried a notebook with him so that he could write down all his brilliant ideas and make sure he did not forget any! Einstein replied that he did not have so many brilliant ideas that they needed to be carefully noted.

    So, no: wild and crazy speculations are a dime a dozen — that is not how science progresses.

    The key is that any new idea, to be worthy of any consideration whatsoever, has to be consistent with everything we already know.

    And that is very, very hard.

    The problem is that, even in the early days of science, say when Copernicus and Kepler were trying to work out the laws of planetary motion, a lot was already known about the apparent motion of the planets.

    It took enormous — almost superhuman — effort for Kepler to come up with his three laws of planetary motion that fit the existing data.

    And that is the basic problem with all the crack-pot ideas tossed out by all you 911 Truthers.

    We now know a lot more about the laws of physics than Kepler did. And goofy ideas such as the nuclear-explosion nonsense, the planes-were-holograms silliness, the claim that the collapse violated Newton’s Third Law of Motion, etc. are all not just wrong, but hilariously wrong to anyone conversant with actual physics.

    Take the issue you raise: how to ” figure out how deceleration was wholly absent in three collapsing towers.” That has been figured out.

    I was easily able to figure that out on my own using just undergrad physics, before I looked at any of the published studies on this.

    And of course it is also in the published studies.

    Of course, not a single one of you 911 Truthers can understand it: I get it — none of you guys were first in the Division of Math, Physics, and Astronomy in your graduating class at Caltech, with a 4.0, as I was. Nor do any of you have a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford, as I do.

    What is easy for me is basically impossible for you.

    Neither you nor I can do neurosurgery. Neither you nor I can even remove an inflamed appendix.

    We lack the training and expertise.

    Neither of us would pretend to have the knowledge to do that.

    It takes as long or longer to get a Ph.D. in physics than it does to get a medical degree.

    But while no one here would pretend to be a doctor, you all pretend to be able to judge issues in physics that you lack the expertise to judge.

    You see a problem there?

    Again, to return to the issue you raise: in fact, physics says that gravity-driven collapse of the Twin Towers should indeed have proceeded with a roughly constant acceleration (technically, this is the asymptotic behavior).

    Can I explain to you why this is so?

    Well, how long do you think it would take for a neurosurgeon to teach you how to do brain surgery?

    bjondo sasked me:

    [bj] hasn’t Mr Hume missed a beat?

    [Dave] The situation here is covered by Hume’s argument against miracles. Hume’s argument was that in the case of claims of a miracle there are two possibilities:

    A) An extraordinarily unusual event actually occurred.

    B) One or more human beings is confused or lying, which, alas, is far from unusual at all

    [bj] A1) The extraordinarily unusual event actually was a miracle.

    Your A1 is option A. Hume was willing to grant that if Jesus really rose from the dead on the third day or turned water into wine or whatever, then, yes, that would have been a miracle.

    Hume’s whole point was that miracles are, pretty much by definition, very rare events.

    People being confused, or intentionally lying, is certainly not a rare event.

    Therefore, in any particular case, the odds are that this specific case is not a miracle but just someone lying or being confused.

    The argument can be formalized using Bayes’ Theorem, but neither Hume nor I thought that is necessary.

    By the way, outside of religion, everyone simply takes the point for granted: if your neighbor borrows your car and he returns it all battered but tells you that an alien spacecraft wrecked it…well, unless he has extraordinary evidence for that bizarre claim, you are going to assume he is either lying or perhaps drunk or high.

    Wouldn’t you?

    Could be.

    As I said in the comment you linked to:

    Again, I am not denying that the US government has probably held back on some of the information it has: governments tend to do that.

    What I am addressing is the crack-pot physical claims about 9/11: that there were no planes, the planes were holograms, there was a nuclear (!) explosion, gravity-driven collapse is inconsistent with Newton’s Third Law, etc.

    Those claims, which are the biggies among the 911 Truthers, are obviously and certainly false.

    If Ron believes any of those claims, he is letting himself be conned.

    I see actual well-known lies in politics, religion, etc. No one really doubts that — lots of the liars have ended up confessing. For that matter, Fauci has confessed that he lied.

    In all of those areas there is evidence of lies.

    But the mere fact that some area is rife with lies does not suggest that some crack-pot alternative to the lies is true. I know for a fact that Christian clergy often lie: several have confessed that to me personally.

    Scientology is an alternative to Christianity. So, does the fact that Christianity is based on lies mean that Scientology must be true?

    No, of course not! There is no evidence at all for Scientology, and, indeed, there is good reason to believe that L. Ron just made it up to make a few bucks.

    Evidence matters.

    I know of absolutely zero evidence — literally none at all — that the official narrative of what happened physically on 9/11 is false.

    When I and others have gone to the trouble to dig into the “evidence” that the 911 Truthers offer, it always turns out to be lies.

    But even if there were evidence that the official narrative were false, that would not be reason to think that any of the nonsensical theories peddled by the 911 Truthers are true.

    Just as the fact that Christianity is a pack of lies is no reason to think that Scientology is true.

    Link: https://www.ae911truth.org/evidence/free-fall-acceleration

    9/11 Truthers assume that another people share the same stock of knowledge that they do, but obviously this isn’t true. NIST released their Final draft report in August 2008. In this report they denied that WTC7 entered free-fall. They were challenged on this by Steven Jones and David Chandler. In their final report issued in November 2008 they admitted that WTC7 entered free-fall for 2.25 seconds differing only slightly from David Chandler’s measurement of 2.5 seconds.

    Shyam Sunder, lead NIST investigator, stated in a press conference for their final Draft report:

    A free-fall time would be an object that has no structural components below it…. What the analysis shows…is that same time it took for the structural model to come down…is 5.4 seconds. It’s about 1.5 seconds, or roughly 40 percent, more time for that free fall to happen. And that is not at all unusual because there was structural resistance that was provided in this particular case.”

    In their final report issued in November 2008 they conceded that WTC7 entered free-fall for 2.25 seconds. 2.25 – 2.5 seconds of free-fall is a distance of 80 t0 100 feet. There were 24 interior columns and 58 perimeter columns. That’s quite a distance to drop without encountering any structural components.

    So how can there be structural resistance and free-fall? Or are you saying that momentum transfer at free-fall acceleration is possible?

    Now you’ve done it. The Hitler conspiracy!

    …actually, it’s always intrigued me that Hitler seems to have been almost unkillable.

    He recounts that in the First World War, moved by an unaccountable impulse, he abruptly got up snd walked away from where he was chatting with two friends. A shell immediately landed, killing them both.

    As a runner, he received his Iron Cross First Class for volunteering to carry a message when two others had just been killed in succession making the attempt. Hitler, of course, made it unscathed.

    Then there’s just the simple fact of surviving four years of trench warfare, including his baptism of fire at First Ypres, where 80% of his regiment became casualties.

    There’s Elser, of course. And then in 1943 a bomb was put on his plane.

    It failed to explode. In 1944, the meeting where Stauffenberg left his bomb was supposed to be held underground; in a confined space such as that, everyone would definitely have been killed by the explosion.

    …but it was a nice day, so the meeting was moved to a hut outside, which didn’t confine the explosion.

    …and the briefcase was in somebody’s way, so they moved it — to the other side of a heavy table leg from Hitler. The table leg largely shielded Hitler from the blast.

    The man really did seem to be impervious to serious harm. In the end, of course, Hitler killed himself — but things could have gotten truly surreal if the Allies had captured him and tried to execute him.

    Don’t we need the expert people (like Dave) who are adamant that the official 9/11 narrative is sufficient to account for all the physical evidence that day, to weigh-in, on how it is, that the culprits figured so well, that the airplanes at those speeds, impacting at those facade locales, with that amount of jet fuel on board, would be just enough physical trauma, to eventuate the collapses of each of the two twin towers, due I guess, to inconsistencies in the heat-caused structural steel deformations …. how is it that Building 7 collapsed in the same observed fashion, as the twin towers, despite a completely different structural design, without the jet fuel added into the recipe, that was indeed apparently the necessary added factor with respect to the twin tower collapses? Why did building 7 collapse when it was not traumatized by an unusual office tower fire, …. because the usual office tower fire is considered by the building code, as a potential for which the design must address?

    Dave may well say that is just a coincidence. That weird coincidental stuff like that happens all the time, and sometimes a usual office tower fire, can bring down and collapse a tall building, despite the best efforts of the building code people and the structural engineering design community.

    I say that is too many coincidences, all on same day at the same locale. We should be suspicious. The onus is on the other parties to alleviate those suspicions. Have they? I haven’t seen anything along those lines, emerge (but I don’t follow the 9/11 mystery that deeply, …. maybe somebody in the 9/11-truther debunker community has already offered something around this?). Anybody know? Maybe Dave can point us that way? Why should we consider the building 7 collapse, to not be at all that unusual (even though it experienced just the usual office tower fire that is within the deign parameters of the building code), given the just prior events (that the twin tower collapses were due to the culprits, figuring correctly, as to ‘just enough physical trauma’, to bring down those two buildings)?

    So, no: wild and crazy speculations are a dime a dozen — that is not how science progresses.

    Well, the speculations made by, say, Einstein and Tesla, are quite different than those of the average voodoo high-priest/priestess of the Congo; most of the rest of us fall somewhere in between.

    Perhaps I didn’t express myself clearly enough – the genesis would be that first question of Why/How? Or, can we? Don’t we all progress through or upon the first answer/conclusion? Is modern science, in any field, often based on the conclusions of the questions/answers made beforehand?

    How many scientists of yore were imprisoned/executed/ridiculed for having been correct all along? Wasn’t there a physician whose career was nearly ruined because he determined, or guessed, that surgeons should wash their hands with a disinfectant before moving on to the next patient? I think it still happens today, especially to those who oppose the science of petroleum based medicine/pharmaceuticals, i.e. Dr. Bradstreet/Dr. Eva Snead.

    And that is the basic problem with all the crack-pot ideas tossed out by all you 911 Truthers.

    I don’t really consider myself a Truther. I do consider myself someone who is not easily fooled.

    Of all those architects and engineers on the roster of the professionals who deny the possibility of the official narrative, is there not a single one highly credentialed enough to render the crack-pot accusation null?

    Having said that, it wasn’t my intention to engage with you, specifically, about 911; I assume you remember our train wreck of a previous debate; there’s no need to rehash.

    Take the issue you raise: how to ” figure out how deceleration was wholly absent in three collapsing towers.” That has been figured out.

    Let me backtrack on my rehash declaration on this, though – I fully understand the official answer to why there was no deceleration for all three buildings, each of which was damaged in dissimilar ways – the nutshell answer from the NIST guy – after the initiation force, the floors below didn’t stop the collapse – I just don’t buy it.

    What is easy for me is basically impossible for you.

    Fair enough. But, some Truthers are smarter than I.

    the Twin Towers should indeed have proceeded with a roughly constant acceleration (technically, this is the asymptotic behavior). – But while no one here would pretend to be a doctor

    There were indeed many variables with regard to the occurrences within those buildings, yet the collapses were identical; the responses/reactions were identical in form. But, as you say, I’m not intelligent/educated enough to understand it, so fair enough.

    In point of fact, doctors are wrong all the time. I once had a pediatrician laugh in my face over my silly diagnosis of my child’s probable ear infection, as “her eyes had a slight swelling.” In goes the otoscope – “Well, Mom, it looks like you guessed correctly.” Now, that’s just a simple, silly story, but I’ve seen some egregious errors. However, you are absolutely correct; I am in no position to argue with a neurosurgeon or a physician, in general, but malpractice is real.

    Now, if all of the 911 Truthers here will unreservedly and unequivocally denounce Truth Vigilante for his blatant and proven libels that he keeps publishing, I am willing to reconsider.

    That’s an unreasonable demand, in my opinion. Why do his thoughts on the matter, or on you, determine your responses, or a lack thereof?

    In any case, I don’t think he believes in the CGI hypothesis, but regardless, he believes something in direct opposition to the official explanation is what actually happened, so in that respect, we agree.

I refused to vote for Trump in 2016 because I was positive that he would attempt to instigate a war on Iran. I still think that such was his aim, but the Iranian leadership was cautious, and Trump had too much domestic hostility here to be able to pull something off without the Iranians first doing something stupid. I voted for Trump in 2020 because I saw that election as really about Antifa more than Trump. What I’ll do this November is an open guess. Maybe we’ll see Antifa burning down more cities, and I’ll feel obligated to vote for Trump.

    —–
    Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the acknowledged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, had been to the United States before; as a bright young man, he had come here from his native Kuwait to study science. He had returned home appalled, telling people Americans hated Muslims, and spent the next 20 years plotting to get even, developing for this purpose an unusual weapon: a group of young men from Hamburg, the agents of a seismic shift in modern history but in many respects utterly normal.

    The Sept. 11 attackers have largely been depicted with a series of caricatures that run from evil genius on one end to deluded fanatics on the other, but most of Mohammed’s protegees came from apolitical and only mildly religious backgrounds. Under his watch, though, they evolved into devout, pious Muslims who debated endlessly on how best to serve, to fulfil what they came to regard as their religious obligations. In fundamentalist Islam, religion and politics are inseparable; the Hamburg men saw themselves as soldiers of God.

    Hopsicker’s version rests on Amanda Keller’s claims.

    The fifth man being eyed by investigators was tall, lanky and quiet, according to Keller’s mother and sister.

    In interviews at their home in the North Florida town of Lady Lake, they said the man introduced himself as Mohammed.
    —–

    Supposedly, Atta was 5-8, hence not “tall” as described. This was probably a different Mohammad, just like the stories of “hijackers alive” involved people with similar names in a similar location. I doubt that any of the real hijackers were cocaine-sniffers.

    Once the Americans ascertained that Muslims were the perpetrators, it was pretty obvious that it was a political act of terrorism, and that it was done in response to the American foreign policy in the Middle East. So, the *immediate* objective of the terrorist attack was achieved without any need for a specific individual or organization to come forward and claim authorship.
    The only problem is that the *ultimate* objective of the attack was *not* achieved. Muslims did not benefit at all with the ‘War on Terror’; Israel did. But that would be true regardless of anyone claiming responsibility for the attack.
    There is another way of looking at things, however. Maybe the War on Terror *was* the immediate objective, despite of the great sacrifice that provoking it imposed on the Muslim world; the ultimate objective was what *the aftermath* of the War on Terror would bring on in the U.S.: divisiveness, economic crisis, war fatigue, etc, etc.

    Here is the 2010 NIST answer to my query, in comment #312 above:

    https://www.nist.gov/pao/questions-and-answers-about-nist-wtc-7-investigation

    Mmmm. I was in the downtown office tower & commercial real estate biz until 2012. I didn’t hear boo about recommendations to retrofit older buildings for better anchoring/joining of structural members to deal with this unaddressed thermal expansion issue this NIST report claims has been under-designed, by the structural engineering community, for long-span floor systems. I was dealing with a whole host of structural engineers and architects all the time (parking-garage-rebar-oxidation-caused-structural-failure, and management of the mitigation for that, was one of the tasks I was assigned, .. and we had plenty of parking garages, …. and anchoring/joining of structural and cladding members was always an engineering focus, and well studied, at my sites, … and I managed office tower curtain wall retrofit projects, as well [plus a whole lot of other duties too]).

    Maybe these NIST recommendations changed the industry, and retrofits occurred all over the west, since 2012 (after I was out of the biz)? Maybe? I didn’t hear anything like that in the news, though. Does anybody know?

    It is still quite the series of coincidences though (Silverstein’s ‘very-lucky’ enrichment aside), …… isn’t there about 24 combinations, as to how these events may have occurred, at the gross-macro level, on that day, among the 3 buildings in question, with each building’s potential outcomes, grossly factored into 4 parts – 1) still standing and structurally repairable; 2) still standing but structurally irrepairable; 3) partial collapsed, 4) full collapse. It took quite a while for the global collapse of the twin towers to occur. I think the takeaway there, is that if the trajectories & air-speeds of the airplanes, and the locale of the facade impacted, and the amount of fuel on board, was any different, the outcomes could have been quite different. But the eventuality that actually occurred, seems to be have been about 4% probable (like if the culprits were to roll the dice instead on the odds they calculated just right, and obtained the actuality achieved, would appear to be about 4%. Mmmm. … maybe someone helped the inexperienced jihadists get the airplane-impact formulation just right (a team of structural engineers would be required to work this out), … and maybe said parties wanted rid of building 7 as well? Ron Unz claims (I think) that the eyewitness testimony is misrepresented, in this NIST report I linked.

    Of course I think we can figure probabilities around other strange anomalies that occurred that day, …. and when one includes these, …. this seems more and more unlikely to feature nearly as much happenstance as is actually featured by the official narrative.

    And as well, if these jihadists were sponsored by elements of the Saudi regime, then why were so many players associated with the Saudi regime caught completely off-guard, …. trying hard to fly the coup (with Bush 2’s help?), while the dancing Israelis were instead not caught off guard, … cheering?

    Now, lets see what implosionworld told me:

    Conventionally, “pull a building” can mean to pre-burn holes in steel beams near the top floor and affix long cables to heavy machinery, which then backs up and causes the structure to lean off its center of gravity and eventually collapse. But this is only possible with buildings about 6-7 stories or smaller. This activity was performed to bring down WTC 6 (Customs) after 9/11 because of the danger in demolishing conventionally.
    —–

    Even when used in the context of demolitions, “pull it” does not mean “blow up with explosives.” It means “pull down with cables.”

    Judging from later reports, Larry Silverstein never had any such conversation with anyone on the Fire Department. This seems to be a classic case of someone trying to inflate their own importance and then regretting it.

    > Freudian perspective of religious faith as mental illness

    Where does Freud claim that? My recollection is that Freud took the view that religion was a necessity for early civilizations, but that modern civilization should now be able to supplant it with science and reason. Even if you disagree with that last judgment, I don’t know of any place where Freud actually claims that religion as such was a mental illness. He basically views it the way that a child may need a dominant father figure, but then breaks away from this at an older age. Freud envisioned, perhaps naively, that human society was undergoing such a maturation process whereby it would no longer need to invoke God as a universal patriarch.

    “Pull it” in NYC means to hook up the mules and pull.

    And,

    since the mule team pulled, WTC 7 did as expected: a combination of axial rotation and bending of members, resulting in a disjointed, asymmetrical collapse at less than free-fall acceleration.

    No free-fall straight-down collapse with gravity acceleration. No sir.

    Larry pulled out his hankie and wiped the foreheads of NYFD’s emergency mules.

    > NIST admitted to a 2.25 second free-fall in their Final report released in November 2008. So is a free-fall collapse possible with structural resistance?

    One should keep in mind that 2.25 seconds of apparent free-fall in the context of a wider event which takes longer than simple free-fall, is not really a free-fall collapse. It sounds very unpredictable whether or not one might, in the context of a longer event, have 2.25 seconds of apparent free-fall. The only thing I would ever be confident of is that the gross collapse-time should reflect the structural resistance which Sunder speaks of. The record shows that such was the case.

    Maybe I could say one more thing about it, …. (further to comment #312 & 325), ….who benefited due to the aftermath 9/11?

    1) Neocons (as Ron Unz says)
    2) The faux-west corporatist globalists (as I state)
    3) Israel
    4) The American Military Complex (aka the American hegemonic brute)
    5) Ultimately, Sunni jihadists as per the later Obama admin, (even though Bush 2 had earlier started wars in the wake of 9/11 in order to go after these guys, apparently).
    6) The House of Saud

    Who experienced loss, due to the aftermath of 9/11?

    7) The people in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya.
    8) The American people lost liberties
    9) The American people have been saddled with insurmountable debt to pay for these wars (among other more recent follies) that will likely be price-inflated away
    10) The American middle class has stagnated since (when their elitists didn’t)
    11) All the peoples of the west, as the western alliance has since been destabilized.

    Who took hits but weathered the storm, in the aftermath of 9/11:

    12) China
    13) Russia
    14 Iran

    Here is the deal (to my mind):

    #1 thru #4 are all just elements of this faux-west corporatist globalism as I have already described. The changing allegiances amongst #5 is interesting, … leading to the strong speculation that the House of Saud is the wild card here, …. are they gonna stay in the #1 thru #4 orbit (the faux-west globalist orbit that looks to be about 25% Jewish in membership), or are they gonna go towards the #11 thru #14 grouping?

    I think potentially, everything that has happened geopolitically since 9/11, is primarily about just that. And this is still mostly obscured from our view. Perhaps the people of Saudi Arabia would be better off without the House of Saud (not sure on that one, actually, …. the House of Saud appears to have well-played cards so far, … enriching their own narrow [but thousands strong] group, …. but this geopolitical action has probably helped the Saudi people be better off too, than they would be otherwise, without the House of Saud playing geopolitical poker). But Israel is showing how it’s Jewish interests are in the drivers seat in the faux-west globalist cabal, right now, telling everyone around on their side on the geopolitical scene, a ‘fuck-you’, including the House of Saud (who I am sure are feeling quite fucked over by Israel showing it’s hand like this, now), over the recent decision to go bonkers/overdrive on the Gazan ethnic cleansing. So who knows which way the House of Saud will ultimately go? And can you see why I think a Jewish occult esoteric angle might feature? Why does Israel get to tell all the other members of the cabal: – ‘fuck-you and your stupid pretensions to any sort of collegue-ship here, …what I says goes’?

    UR readers, have you noticed that Patrick ‘McNally’ (real name Mordechai Moshe Baruch Shlongstein – or something equivalent), was not participating in this Open Thread, but somehow magically appeared out of nowhere?

    You see, his fellow disinformers (led by Fizzy-cyst Dovid), were taking one hell of a beating.
    So Shin Bet central in Occupied Palestine called in reinforcements to assist.
    And who better than Shlomo McNally, who has an extensive track record of propagating ZOG talking points.

    And, wouldn’t you know, Shlomo McNally chimes in trying to make a case for Mohammad Atta (and the other alleged Muslim hijackers – as well as KSM), as being responsible for the hijackings.
    Not content with that, Shlomo McNally puts in his two cents worth of obfuscation in some later comments relating to the 9/11 False Flag, claiming that the words ‘pull it’ means something other than what they obviously do mean.
    Shlomo McNally just never gives up. He has been a faithful servant of ZOG for many years, and will be rewarded accordingly in the award ceremonies at the World Jewish Congress once more, for his dedication and commitment to the Talmudic agenda.

    SUMMARY: None of these alleged 19 Muslims boarded any of the four planes alleged to have crashed on the day of 9/11.
    Only apologists for ZOG keep peddling this nonsensical allegation.

    BTW, it didn’t escape me that the Thick-as-a-brick individual that uses the handle ‘Brass Cubes’, gave Shlomo McNally an ‘Agree’.
    Brass Cubes has been repeatedly shown evidence that no Muslims hijacked any planes on 9/11.
    But such is his hatred of Muslims, he pays no heed to facts. He is that set in his ways and ignorant.

    Mr Mordechai ‘McNally’, thank you for forwarding your ICRC registered deaths document.

    Of course, nowhere in the document does the word ‘Juden’ appear, seeing as these numbers refer to total deaths of all inmates of ALL races and ethnicities (the bulk of which will have been gentile Poles/political prisoners/Soviet POW’s etc).

    FACT: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, their records taken from the Auschwitz-Birkenau work camp which the Soviets had liberated in 1945, were released for public perusal.
    It showed that more Catholics died* in Auschwitz than Jews.

    (*Notice how I wrote’ died’, as opposed to murdered. Because the vast bulk of those that died in Auschwitz and the other German work camps, were NOT murdered. They died in the 1942/43 typhus epidemics and from malnutrition in the concluding months of the war, as the German food transport/logistics system had been decimated by Allied bombing/strafing.

    German civilians in the cities were themselves starving in the final months of the war as precious little food got through).

    Well, BolshevikPretzel, you made my point for me; I was not arguing that Silvertongue specifically meant – bombs away! – nor that he was giving an order to “blow-up the building” – my assertion was that the term pull it was/is demolition jargon, which it is, as you say, and when he told the phantom Commander to pull it, he was NOT suggesting to evacuate the fire crew, which is what he tried to pass off as his actual meaning when initially questioned.

    You also thereby confirmed my other supposition, that there was no actual phone call, at least as he described it. He was just blowing smoke, laying cover, who knows? But, regardless of his motivation to relay the story of his phony command, pull it is a term used to indicate that a building is to be brought down by one of several methods of professional building demolition, which can’t be accomplished in a few hours, nor does the fire department in NYC provide that service.

    Your last sentence is correct, though the manner in which he expresses this sentiment clearly describes religion as a ‘neurosis’.

    In ‘The Future of an Illusion,” Freud states, “Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis.”

    In “New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis,” he writes, “If we attempt to assign the place of religion in the evolution of mankind, it appears not as a permanent acquisition but as a counterpart to the neurosis which individual civilized men have to go through in their passage from childhood to maturity.”

    Well, as a matter of fact they are, or, at least, they are pretending they can do what physicists actually can do.

    I’m not sure you know what we physicists really do: we explain physical phenomena in the real world using the known laws of physics (on rare occasions we find that some phenomenon can only be explained by posting a new law of physics, and then we are very happy — but that is very, very rare). Our work product is providing explanations.

    And the 911 Truther pathological lying psychos here are claiming to explain what physically happened on 911. So, yes, they are indeed claiming to do the same thing physicists do.

    But they can’t. And so they present these crack-pot pseudo-theories: the planes as holograms, the nukes (!) in the basement, the claim that gravity-driven collapse violates Newton’s Third Law, and all the rest.

    No one with any actual knowledge of physics would spout such nonsense. But the 911 Truther psychos do indeed pretend to do what physicists do, even though they can’t.

    So, no, we are not doomed because we can, if we wish, abolish the evil institutions that constitute civilization as we have known it — the horribly inhuman evil that we call “civilization” — simply by exposing the lies.

    the claim that the collapse violated Newton’s Third Law of Motion, etc. are all not just wrong, but hilariously wrong to anyone conversant with actual physics.

    Well, I’ve always been very skeptical of the 9/11 Truther claims, including those on this discussion-thread, that certain aspects of the official 9/11 narrative are “physically impossible.” That especially includes all those claims that jetliners couldn’t possibly penetrate the WTC towers.

    However, there are many things that may not be physically impossible, but seem extremely improbable. For example, if you find someone suffocated in a room, it’s possible that he died because all the oxygen molecules randomly happened to move away from him and stayed away long enough for him to expire. But that scenario doesn’t seem very likely.

    Similarly, I think that according to the official narrative after one of the jetliners hit the WTC tower, an undamaged passport of one of the hijackers was supposedly found by a “good samaritan” on the street below and immediately provided to the police. It’s certainly *possible* that despite huge crash and the fireball caused by the explosion of the fuel, a hijacker’s passport somehow escaped burning, was thrown free of the plane, and landed undamaged on the NYC street below.

    But it doesn’t seem very likely.

    Well, I don’t think you or I or anyone can judge the probability of that. It’s like the straw driven through a tree trunk that Colin Wright alluded to above.

    Who would expect that? But it happened with a tornado, which is outside the realm of normal, daily human experience.

    Similarly, if you look at what was vaporized and what was left standing after Hiroshima was nuked…. no one could have predicted the pattern that actually occurred.

    Frankly, it is much, much easier for me to imagine a freak occurrence of the passport somehow landing in the street than any other explanation. E.g., why on earth would anyone put the passport there on the street if it didn’t come from the plane? And, for that matter, how reliable is the report that the passport was indeed found on the street and that it came from one of the passengers on the plane? As the discussion about Larry Silverstein in this thread shows, the 911 Truthers have been lying about a lot of details.

    The two planes, loaded with jet fuel, colliding at high speed with the Twin Towers is not an event that occurs very often! Unexpected things are going to occur when events outside normal experience occur.

    That is not even surprising.

    Some years ago, an acquaintance of mine asked me to talk with a friend of his about the friend’s alternative theory of the Fitzgerald contraction in relativity. This guy thought that the contraction was some mystery to physicists and needed some complicated explanation (he wanted an extra dimension into which objects got bent). I tried to explain that there was no mystery requiring an explanation: what is happening is very simple and obvious if you understand the physics. No mystery to explain.

    Beyond that, the Fitzgerald contraction is not something that is actually observed experimentally: it is just a necessary consequence of relativity — if you try to reject relativity, there is no Fitzgerald contraction to explain.

    My explanation had no effect on the guy of course: he was too lazy to actually learn the relevant physics, but he still thought he could teach us physicists something!

    The 911 Truthers are just like that guy (though he was a good deal more pleasant!): they start off with the premise that the conventional explanation is false — even though they refuse to acquire the technical knowledge needed to judge if the conventional explanation is right or not — and then they feel compelled to invent crack-pot Marvel-comics style “explanations” of what happened.

    Even though no such explanation is needed: we already have a perfectly good explanation that is in accord with the laws of physics.

    This is all utterly bizarre! Why on earth would human beings waste so much of their lives on such nonsense?

    The answer, of course, is the one I quoted from Vonnegut: their crazy ideas are badges of group identity, just like Catholics claiming to believe in transubstantiation.

    How and why do people thirst for such badges of group identity?

    Well… some people are just born into the group and want to continue to be accepted by the group: I suppose this is true of most Catholics.

    But for those who actively seek out such badges of group identity as adults… well, I have been trying to make sense out of this for the last fifty years or so.

    And what I have noticed is that such people tend to be, to put it politely, “lost souls.” To put it less politely, “losers.”

    I have been quite open here about my education, my career accomplishments, my wife and kids, etc., and I have actually provided links to back up much of that.

    You will notice that very few of the 911 Truthers have done the same. They tend to be very, very reticent about their education or lack thereof, for example.

    And those who have given a bit of information about their lives, such as “Kali” and “Prajna,” turn out to have lived very, very strange lives indeed. Not the sort of people you’d want as next-door neighbors.

    And their behavior here… for example, Truth Vigilante making the following bizarrely libelous accusation against me (see here) in which he claimed that I have:

    been shunned by fellow academics because he has a history of peddling junk science/been a serial offender in falsifying data etc,

    He has not even pretended to have any evidence that I have been viewed by any academics at all as being guilty of “falsifying data”!

    Anyone can read my Ph.D. thesis online and find out that I was not reporting any data I had gathered myself but merely comparing data reported by experimentalists to the predictions of various theoretical models. I was in no position to falsify data even if I had wanted to!

    You see why I have formulated the hypothesis that every single one of the 911 Truthers is utterly nuts?

    I have yet to find an exception!

    I truly am interested in psychopathology, and these guys are just a gold mine of examples.

    There really is something deeply and profoundly wrong with them, and I think Vonnegut does explain it: these are “losers” at the game of life and they have latched on to all of this 911 Truther insanity to give their sad little lives meaning.

    As I have explained again and again, I have had a number of architects in my family: not a one has any understanding of unusual modes of building collapse. That is not what they do or what they learn.

    They learn how to design buildings in accord with the local building codes and then submit them to structural engineers to check that they are sound.

    And I have also knows some structural engineers: most just plug the numbers into software and make sure the software says the building is sound. They also are not experts on highly unusual modes of building collapse.

    A few guys are: as I have said, Zdeněk Bažant quite literally wrote the book on stability of structures.

    And Bažant supports the official narrative.

    As I have also said before, as it happens, an old acquaintance of mine, Professor Hung Leung “David” Wong of the University of Southern California is an expert on structural stability under earthquakes. David therefore is interested in modes of building collapse.

    If David told me that one of the 911 Truther theories was probably true, I would take him seriously.

    He hasn’t.

    So, no, I am not impressed by the supposed thousands of non-experts in AE911Truth. When the Germans published Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein attacking Albert Einstein’s work, Einstein supposedly pointed out that if they were right, one would have sufficed!

    been shunned by fellow academics because he has a history of peddling junk science/been a serial offender in falsifying data etc,

    Truth Vigilante has not even pretended to have any evidence that I have been viewed by any academics at all as being guilty of “falsifying data”!

    Anyone can read my Ph.D. thesis online and find out that I was not reporting any data I had gathered myself but merely comparing data reported by various experimentalists to the predictions of various theoretical models. I was in no position to falsify data even if I had wanted to!

    So, I am using Truth Vigilante’s contemptible lies as a character test for all of you 911 Truthers: do you have enough sense of human decency to denounce this bizarrely evil and mendacious behavior on Truth Vigilante’s part? Or are you so enwrapped in groupthink that you are unable to denounce that sort of behavior?

    So far, the response has been as I expected.

    I think that this is an extremely fair and reasonable test of your honesty, your sanity, and your character indeed!

    You are not a good person if you cannot denounce his behavior.

    In fact, an evil person indeed. A contemptible evil cultist.

    The field of Physics is pretty broad. Now Fizzy Dov may well have specialisied in Quantum physics or String Theory or some other esoteric areas.
    As for basic high school level physics, it is obvious that either:

    1) He has no grasp of it whatsoever (seeing as it’s been so long since he studied it that he’s forgotten, coupled to the likelihood of early onset dementia) OR …
    2) He deliberately misrepresents it so as to ingratiate himself with his ADL/B’nai B’rith benefactors.

    We all know that Fizzy-cyst Dovid tells some absolute whoppers. That’s who he is – a morally bankrupt and jaded individual, after being exposed by his peers for the fraud he’s perpetrated.
    And we know he’s stupid, because he says some of the dumbest things imaginable.

    Meanwhile, the explanation for the collapse of the WTC buildings on 9/11, involves much more than just physics. It involves the disciplines of metallurgy, knowledge of explosives and controlled demolition, chemistry, mathematics, structural engineering and more besides.
    And, FOR CERTAIN, the combined talents of the Phd’s, Emeritus Professors and various academics and experts in the AE911Truth organisation, is probably three orders of magnitude more substantive than anything Fizzy-cyst Dovid has to offer.

    Meanwhile, I’m going to say something that I’ve refrained from saying previously as I didn’t want to boast. But it needs to be said:

    Dovid Miller may well have superior expertise over me in Quantum Mechanics, String Theory and other areas. But said disciplines are of no assistance in analysing the events that transpired in NYC on Sept.11, 2001.

    However, IN THOSE SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES THAT RELATE TO AN ANALYSIS OF THE 9/11 FALSE FLAG, I have a hard science background that leaves Dovid Miller floundering in my wake.

    This statement above should have been abundantly obvious from the various carve ups I inflicted on Dovid Miller over the last 12 months or so, beginning with the Mark Gaffney articles where individuals who have a long history of integrity in UR (like Iris, Rurik, Old Philosopher and others – with a little help from myself), thoroughly demolished the juvenile assertions and misrepresentations from Dovid Miller, which were nothing more than pure pseudoscience.

    [Colin] The mechanic actually has to fix the damned car. You’re just proposing to explain how to do it.

    But explaining is what physicists do. It takes many years of study and training to learn to do that. And of course, we use that skill of explaining physics to teach engineers who then go out and build stuff. I myself have done that too — i.e., I spent some years working as an engineer. A rather different job from being a physicist.

    By the way, a similar distinction exists in other fields. Do you know what pathologists spend most of their time doing? No — not cutting up corpses! (I have a pathologist in the family so I actually know.)

    They spend most of their time looking at slides under microscopes so that they can explain to surgeons what form of cancer (if any) their patient has. Then the surgeon, if necessary, does the work of cutting it out.

    Pathologists are knowledge people. Surgeons are manual laborers.

    Of course, logically, some of the 911 Truthers might have acquired the requisite knowledge of physics without actually being physicists: Zdeněk Bažant actually did, for example.

    But, none have.

    Of course, if they actually learned basic physics, they would stop believing in the 911 Truther nonsense and so would cease to be 911 Truthers.

  350. @Patrick McNally

    I have just peeked into the official explanation, and it is compatible with yours, with further details:

    This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time—compared to the 3.9 second free fall time—was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face. During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above. In Stage 3, the acceleration decreased as the upper portion of the north face encountered increased resistance from the collapsed structure and the debris pile below.

    It’s quite possible that commenter PhysicistDave is correct that, while there may be some fishy aspects to 9/11, they are not implicative of any *physical* inconsistencies in the official narrative. And he is probably correct that most doubters of the official narrative engage in some suspicious selective arguing. That is the case with the ‘blast sounds’, which Ron Unz and others insist upon. Those ‘truthers’ strongly emphasize that rescue workers heard those sounds coming from the Twin Towers, but they conveniently ignored my several previous comments highlighting the fact that the fall of Building 7 lacked any of those sounds.

    In addition, no blast sounds were heard on the audio tracks of video recordings during the collapse of WTC 7 or reported by witnesses. According to calculations by the investigation team, the smallest blast capable of failing the building’s critical column would have resulted in a sound level of 130 decibels (dB) to 140 dB at a distance of at least half a mile, if unobstructed by surrounding buildings. This sound level is consistent with a gunshot blast, standing next to a jet plane engine, and more than 10 times louder than being in front of the speakers at a rock concert.

    Look, …. I have linked the two events (the falling of the twin towers, and the falling of building 7) within the 24-combinational probability model (modelling at the very macro-gross level) that I used, and did not treat the events separately, with differing odds then (which would work out to be 8 combinations for the twin towers, and 4 combinations for building 7, as viewed separately), … and with these differing odds by way of viewing the two events as mostly disconnected (like building 7 came down by happenstance, more or less, then … as the NIST report claims) it works out to be that naive jihadists would have around a 12% chance of figuring just right, with respect to the airplane-impact-formulation, to achieve the outcome actually eventuated at the twin tower site, … and then that led to the happenstancal collapse of building 7 with 25% chance of that occurring, in this circumstance, given the partial lack of firefighting water in the building due to crushing of city water mains due to the collapse of the two towers (not sure why they didn’t use the building’s many fire hoses to feed water via stairwells, from floors with water-filled standpipes, to floors without, though?).

    Two things bother me about the logic of de-linking these two sets of events, though.

    1) It is a bit hard to believe that building 7 was an accident just waiting to happen like that (despite the NIST claims that it indeed was)

    2) It is clear that there were master-planners above the jihadists (if this indeed was carried out be these said 19 jihadists). If these master-planners were tied in with the Saudi regime, … that would require Saudi-regime controlled structural engineers. Isn’t that the Bin Laden Group? So why were there so many of the Bin Laden Group, caught off guards in the U.S., in the aftermath of 9/11, trying hard to get out of Dodge?

    3) The portion of my comment you block-quoted is indeed warranted, …. Ron Unz mentioned one such anomaly this morning. There are many. These other anomalies tend to give credence to a ‘false flag’ operation description of the events. The only parties that were available that day, that would be able to carry out such a false flag operation (with Mossad’s aid let’s say), were concentrated in building 7.

    I think it is premature to de-link thee two sets of events, odds-wise, given these 3 points.

(Some ‘truthers’ had tried to sell the notion that Flight 93 was meant for Building 7, but since it was obviously heading for Washington, D.C., that was just a very short-lived desperate attempt to salvage their hypothesis.

    So, if it looks like a professional demolition, is it a professional demolition?

    You thereby reveal your utterly invincible ignorance of basic principles of science.

    There is no doubt — zero doubt! — that gravity-driven collapse is possible

    Did I not acknowledge my ignorance? Please provide the sentence wherein I claimed that gravity does not exert any force on objects/matter? So, gravity pulls? Yes, I know.

    The nutshell was not about gravity, was it? It was – nothing, whatsoever, impeded the collapse of [Bldg 7] all three buildings; all three buildings had systemic structure failures below the points of impact, although there was no impact in one structure, which failed in so precise a time and order, that free fall was the result. In all three structures. In exactly the same manner. And, someone, somewhere, was yelling, Pull it!

    It seems a miracle, or that the index finger of Moloch was the external force that set the buildings in motion.

    I think that this is an extremely fair and reasonable test of your honesty, your sanity, and your character indeed!

    I am not aware of your history of commentary with TV; I have read the comments herein, and without any declarations for either side, he has obviously ruffled your feathers, which is frankly to be expected in an online forum, but you seem rather vitriolic about others denouncing a person you deem antagonistic just because he disagrees with you.

    You can’t possibly judge a person’s character, wholly, by their internet commentary, nor their opinions on 911, nor their ideas about what’s possible based on their scientific knowledge. How many people thought the Wright Brothers were bat-shit crazy?

    Or are you so enwrapped in groupthink that you are unable to denounce that sort of behavior?

    I’m not aware of everything he has said, nor do I know the basis for his allegations, and because I do not know, I base my opinion of you only upon our exchanges, which is not sufficient for me to say I know your character wholly. There are clues, but nothing definitive. In any case, insults fly all over commentary regarding just about every topic/opinion, therefore they are not always to be taken seriously, or personally. Poupon Marx is plotting to toss me into a Buddhist center somewhere in Texas. Some days I genuinely hope he finds success in that endeavor….

    Having said that, you seem rather eager to categorize me as a mendacious idiot because I claim the meaning of pull it has nothing whatsoever to do with the evacuation of a building, but rather with the intentional destruction of a building, which frankly does not seem very outlandish, nor out of left field, considering the supportive evidence I posted for my supposition, which would not even be questioned in the slightest degree if not within the context of 911.

    In fact, an evil person indeed. A contemptible evil cultist.

    That’s a bit hyperbolic, PD.

    It is not now, nor has it ever been my intention to “fight” with you, nor offend you.

    But explaining is what physicists do.

Of course, it’s not my place to judge your methodology with regards to explaining physics to the masses, and perhaps that’s not your intent, but there’s a reason you have physicist in your moniker, yet you seem rather hostile to people who don’t grasp your explanations. It’s perfectly reasonable that you would grow weary by our ignorance, but you seem, by my experience, hostile to those who are genuinely trying to understand what you are attempting to explain.

    Well, I’ve always been very skeptical of the 9/11 Truther claims, including those on this discussion-thread, that certain aspects of the official 9/11 narrative are “physically impossible.” That especially includes all those claims that jetliners couldn’t possibly penetrate the WTC towers.

    So here we got the Full Monty Full Unz on 9/11.

    I suppose maybe somewhere in the realm of Theoretical Physics, there’s a place (or an equation) for thin-skinned aluminum jetliners to just fly right through steel columns without even bothering to slow down, which applies also to their wings right out to the wingtips, even! And indeed, that’s what the Hezarkhani video, seems to show, as do other 9/11 videos.

    So there you have it, a made-for-TV special in the land of Theoretical Physics.

    That point once brought out your pal Rurik, who wanted to argue about the wing tips, saying they didn’t really cut through the steel, only the aluminum cladding, and therefore blah blah blah.

    Of course, in the real-word, the wingtips probably could never even come into contact with any building in the first place. At the claimed speeds, the wings would be torn off at first impact, if not earlier. Those preposterous, even comical matching airplane-shaped cut-outs in the facades of the Twin Towers should tell anyone with any grasp of real-world physics all they need to know.

    They’re as phony as the proverbial $3 bill.

    And in truth no Boeing 767 could have even hit the buildings on Sept. 11, 2001, given the flight paths they allegedly flew, to say little of the supposed Arab “pilots.” Numerous experienced airline pilots have stated unequivocally that a 767 could not be flown as claimed for the allegedly hijacked jetliners on 9/11. One such highly experienced pilot even signed an affidavit to that effect.

    Previously, I had waxed comically on this forum about the Ginsu steak-knife wings on the Twin-Tower-Slicing 9/11 Jetliners, because, you know, anything must be possible to theoretical physicists, like Ron, and seemingly real physicists like Dave, although most Right-wingers have no sense of humor, and so they probably didn’t get it.

    Amyway, I think Ron did concede that he had been in e-mail correspondence with niceland, whom he has praised as “one of the sharpest commenters here,’ so there should be no great surprise, really, that niceland showed up here with his 50 videos, and promptly got two gold boxes.

    One thing though, …. I think Dave is probably of the mind that the free fall time and the momentum cascade time, are much closer in duration, than people seem to think should be the case, … within only 2 or 3 seconds in each case I suppose, which Dave probably is also of the mind, is within the error bars around attempts at determining precisely that (because facades fell at different rates, and as such).

    I personally, wouldn’t argue with Dave on that, if that actually is his stance, ….. because I know too little about the argument-counterargument that must have already occurred around that. I imagine this arrow topic still remains controversial.

    But I think Dave is on record here calling it, that the official narrative is supportable. I really don’t think said stance could be considered too rational, myself, though. Maybe Dave is claiming much less than that, though? Dave?

    E.g., why on earth would anyone put the passport there on the street if it didn’t come from the plane? And, for that matter, how reliable is the report that the passport was indeed found on the street and that it came from one of the passengers on the plane?

    Actually, there’s no evidence that the hijacker passport was found on the street. Instead, from what I vaguely remember some “Good Samaritan” supposedly walked up to a police officer and handed him the passport, claiming that he’d found it lying on the street.

    That obviously greatly helped the police and the MSM quickly pin the blame on Bin Laden.

    Similarly, the fact that Atta, the supposed leader of the hijackers, had accidentally left behind his luggage, filled with the evidence of his secret plans to hijack the planes on behalf of Bin Laden and the Islamicist cause, made it much easier for the government and the MSM to quickly confirm who was responsible. Terrorists frequently seem to lose their passports or luggage in such helpful ways.

    These are just a couple of the totally ridiculous elements of the official narrative that I discovered about a dozen years ago when I first began looking into the case. I can’t quite remember all the details, but I’m sure you can easily find them if you hunt around a little online.

    The whole plot seems very much in category of the Forty Beheaded Israeli Babies or the Mass Hamas Gang-Rapes. Indeed, I think the Israelis even claimed that they found some Hamas documents describing their plans to commit mass gang rapes of Israelis during their attacks.

    And after the Israelis bombed that hospital early on, killing all those Gazan civilians, they soon claimed to have intercepted a Hamas phone call in which the Hamas militants admitted that that the hospital had actually been hit by Palestinian rockets.

    When you totally control the MSM, the most ridiculous stories are widely propagated and never challenged.

    As I’ve said, you’re certainly a very intelligent individual, but without any knowledge of the basic 9/11 facts, it’s difficult for you to come to the correct conclusion. There really are something like 100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story, and each of us is free to focus on whichever we’d like since they all point in exactly the same direction.

    What the firefighters did say, according to Graeme MacQueen’s investigation, was they were told that the building was unstable, and it would collapse, or be made to collapse; they reported they were advised by their commanders/chiefs; the commanders/chiefs reported they were advised by site engineers…as far as I know, that’s where the chain of information ends.

    Make no mistake, I would have Higgins eating out of my hand. Chocolate pudding and all…

    I once told some random guy at a party that my ideal vacation was a mule ride down the Grand Canyon, then rafting/camping along the river for about a week. He was shocked and said most women prefer a grand hotel, beachside, with a spa and fabulous lagoon-type pools, etc. Well, I like that, too, but it’s not my first choice, and whilst most men, that I know, dislike the spa vacay, or they tolerate it for their spouse, they all like the Grand Canyon idea. I have a few female friends who feel as I do, birds of a feather…..

    I suppose my point is that men and women do have overlapping characteristics, but we also have stark differences in behaviors/interests. Men and women have vastly different roles/responsibilities in their societies, which informs those behaviors/interests, and that accounts for key differences. What I observe is that women, due in large part to what western men have done to lessen their burdens within the realm of home/family, are shucking the bonds/responsibilities that nature placed upon them, with much learned scorn, in my opinion, yet they make no such easy allowances for the men who are doing the same within the traditional male realms, nor do they recognize the absolute danger of being surrounded by emasculated men. Don’t we all despise girly-men? Don’t we find female “strong-man” fighting a bit off-putting? There is something disconcerting about seeing one of those ladies prevail in a match, with her face smashed in, in a way that feels different when viewing the men. Traditional roles served a very important purpose – a vital purpose. Adhering to those roles doesn’t mean one can’t stray into the realm of the other, such as internet commentary, which is clearly a male majority endeavor. I would say I argue more like a typical man, which is why I believe I have so piqued your interest, Mr. Marx. So, I understand both you and Professor Higgins.

    My husband/brothers/father/sons ALL think it’s ridiculous that I don’t set a glue trap/death trap for my house mouse, who will not fall for the traps by which I caught her offspring. They also think it’s ridiculous that I carted the offspring to a wildlife park, wherein I constructed little mouse houses made of branches and cedar shavings. They’re not wrong – it is ridiculous, but I care not, because I’m irrational on this subject. They’re also not wrong to tell me to shut-up about my “gentle” mouse hunting failures, as I choose not to opt for the obvious solution, but again, I don’t shut-up because I am irrational, but also because I know it irks them – so, there’s that, and there’s always that.

    I’ve not had much time for posting to TUR of late, but I have casually checked in on this thread.

    Some observations as to our towering genius; ‘the Stanford physicist’

    From our past conversations, he’s explained that when it comes to science, that being closed-minded is the hallmark of all good scientists. The more closed-minded, the better the scientist.

    When it comes to 9/11, he has made it clear that he -better than anyone else, (or at least anyone else at TUR), understands what happened to the buildings, and why they collapsed. After all, he ‘understands the physics’. Being as he’s, (as he’s very apt to remind us all), is a Standford physicist!

    So he graced us with an explanation for how and why Towers one and two, self-pulverized (including all their contents), into a fine powder, was because:

    \Large \Delta x=v_0 t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2a=\{1}{2}(-9.81\ac{\text{ m}}{\t{ s}^2})\Large v^2=v_0^2+2a\Delta x

    or some such equivalent load of dog shite, because ~

    when the top of the Towers fell down, (because of the Muslim terrorist’s jet fuel), it gained increased kinematic inertia, which was sufficient to crush all the lower structural steel beams and all the rest into a fine powder. If you doubt that, it’s just because you’re too dumb and psychopathic (and a federal agent) to understand the formula that he was generous enough to show us all.

    And when it comes to Building 7, his scientific analysis is ‘that’s too hurtful to talk about’, or some such tripe. In other words, he doesn’t ‘go there’.

    That’s our intrepid scientist for you. If the issue is politically wrought, then it’s best to just leave it alone. ‘Too many notes’, and all that.

    He (if I recall correctly) explained that Lucky Larry, (Silverstein) was the victim that day.

    He is adept at one thing, and that is snide. Particularly when his interlocutor is not ‘intelligent enough’ to follow his unique genius.

    As for instance when I was misguided enough to engage with Stanford about the Federal Reserve Bank, and how it’s a den of corrupt Jewish swindlers, ‘printing’ our money and then having the generosity of loaning it back to us ~ at interest. He mocked me, for not understanding that the Federal Reserve Bank can’t abuse the counterfeiting machine it uses to corrupt all governments and institutions of the West, because it’s Federal!, after all! A part of the Federal government! How is it I didn’t know that, when it calls itself the Federal Reserve Bank?!

    He also calls me and others, (like TruthV) federal agents.

    The thing I enjoy most about this thread, is every time Mr. Unz calls our Standford genius “a very intelligent individual”.

    I have to admit I get a chuckle out of that.

  373. @Wild Man

    I wouldn’t even begin to speak on behalf of PD in that specific, detailed manner.

    Based on a previous conversation on another thread, I don’t really understand his argument for a spontaneous collapse, as he doesn’t seem to grasp the level of scientific knowledge of the person posing the questions, (myself) and that is not his fault. The laws of motion, gravity, structure, energy, etc., is no light fare, and it must be learned is some sequential order. He has a somewhat impossible task in explaining it all to us all.

    Every single person over age ten knows if you set a pot of water over a sufficient flame/heat source, it will boil. But, what is really happening? Without checking, the heat is changing or affecting the water molecules, or the hydrogen/oxygen within, which causes the movement, or the boil/bubbling. Is it expanding momentarily, like it does when it freezes? I don’t know. But, I know it’s not disappearing from the pot, although the water level decreases; it’s taking another form by vaporizing into the air. Most people think the water just disappears if you let it boil. Did I describe the process correctly? Maybe not, but I can observe a metamorphosis – the movement of the water, the bubbles, the rising of the steam, no water….I watched all three structures collapse. Although the water analogy is vastly different, and certainly quite simplistic comparatively, the principle is somewhat the same, as what is observed does not seem to align with the accepted/obvious explanation. My instincts tell me something else occurred, but instincts prove nothing. Unless you’re Isaac Newton.

    But not in a way that any 911truthers have ever considered as occurring. The 911truther scenario definitely is about bombs in the building, rather than about using cables to pull something down. This fake report by Silverstein can’t be used to support the bombs-in-building thesis.

    @Antiwar7

    The planes must have been guided in some way.

    they were

    the jets were actually drones, specially outfitted for that purpose

    But it’s a very charged conversation to get into, unless you’re talking only to other experts in a structured forum.

    When it comes to 9/11, there are legions of scammers, obfuscators and agenda-driven hacks, who’s job it is to prevent, (at all costs) an honest discussion of 9/11, that will lead to the inescapable conclusion- that it was an inside job.

    The reasons for this are glaringly obvious. If a critical mass of the American people were ever to comprehend the depth of depraved treason that our nation has been subject to, well, there’d be all Hell to pay. And the Mossad and CIA and Bush administration officials, are very keen for that not to happen. ZOG would be put to death.

    So from what I’ve discovered over the years, is to keep it simple.

    Building Seven was an obvious controlled demolition. The way it was pre-reported, even with detailed ”explanations” for why and how it fell – *before* it did, are the smoking-gun proof of federal government and media complicity in the crime.

    In the same way as if some news organizations had reported on JFK’s assassination, 20 minutes before it happened, even explaining that it was Oswald who did it, because he was a commie who hated America’s freedom.

    If all of that would have been reported before JFK was actually shot, a lot of people would understandably want to know how they knew?

    It’s the same with Building 7. Not only can they not explain how it fell, (Stanford’s pathetic defense of NIST notwithstanding), but they scrapped all the forensic evidence before it could be studied.

    You don’t have to be a Stanford genius, to understand something’s rotten in Denmark.

    Simply point out that Building 7 was a controlled demolition, point out they pre-reported its collapse, and that they destroyed all the evidence before it could be investigated.

    That should be enough for any thoughtful or even sane person, of good faith, who’s curious about it.

    If they tell you – authoritatively- that Building 7 is of no consequence, then you know they’re a lying shitball, and a hack for the ((regime))/ZOG

    If they’re curious, and want to know, start with Building 7, and then send them down the rabbit hole. If they have questions, be happy to guild them, but the best way, is to let them find their own answers.

    But it can be very, very difficult, because ZOG’s hacks are out in strength to divert and dissemble and distract, with tones of carefully constructed duplicity and disinformation. (something they are expert at). Ron Unz even wrote an article about that.

    Here’s some good resources. There are many, many more.

    Those ‘truthers’ strongly emphasize that rescue workers heard those sounds coming from the Twin Towers, but they conveniently ignored my several previous comments highlighting the fact that the fall of Building 7 lacked any of those sounds.

    Did I misunderstand your meaning therein?

    I really don’t understand the remainder of your comment, and to be frank didn’t pay much attention to it, since it doesn’t appear to address anything in my previous comments.

    On this thread? I don’t recall previous comments on this thread specific to the noises, or the lack thereof, indicating explosions in or around building 7. Your link contained no previous comments that I could discern.

    It follows that there would be witnesses who would hear explosives if the building was a controlled demolition. I mean just how far from ground zero could the aid workers reasonably get if they’re trying to provide aid/rescue services. My greater point is that they were told it would come down hours before it “spontaneously” collapsed.

    Interesting. Let’s see. What if that doesn’t happen, though (everyone who deems themselves even-tempered here, had concluded Bibi could not survive more than 2 months after October 7th)? Look … I am not mocking your claimed ‘even-temperedness’. You are that. Yet Bibi’s ongoing political survivorship remains rather mystifying. Thus my ongoing wild speculations around a hidden Jewish occult esoteric angle, coloring all this, in ways still opaque to us (that perhaps the House of Saud is beholden to as well, just as the faux-west globalist group seems to be beholden to, ….. maybe this is just about a future/coming esoteric money scheme thing, … it could be many things).

    Or maybe Bibi is now out, Israel is forced to realign, and the western project carries on now unimpeded by Jewish subversion? Somehow I doubt that last part is even possible, without alot more than just changing the regime in Israel (but that would help a whole lot it’s true). What I am saying is there are potentially more layers here. This whole thing may well be about a coming existential currency battle, focused upon the rather smallish group of people with jurisdiction in that region that holds alot of aces in that respect (House of Saud).

    > Sure, that passport was a fishy occurrence.

    But fishy in what way exactly? According to this bit from the 911-Commission on page 40 (35 as a file page, but it says 40 at the top of the page):

    https://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/911_TerrTrav_Ch2.pdf

    —–
    The passport was recovered by NYPD Detective Yuk H. Chin from a male passerby in a business suit, about 30 years old. The passerby left before being identified, while debris was falling from WTC 2. The tower collapsed shortly thereafter. The detective then gave the passport to the FBI on 9/11. See FBI report, interview of Detective Chin, Sept. 12, 2001.
    —–

    Elsewhere around here, people have argued that Osama should not have denied participation in the attack since terrorists are supposed to want the credit for their attacks. Maybe this “male passerby in a business suit” was really some sort of accessory of Bin Laden’s who had been assigned the job of giving some cop a passport so they would know who did it? That may not be correct, but it is consistent with the argument that Osama should have wanted to claim credit for the attack. This way of claiming credit for the attack would allow him to still tell the Afghan government that he had not been behind the attack.

    On the other hand, objects can survive disastrous crashes in strange ways. This “male passerby in a business suit” might just be an ordinary person who found something on the street and turned it over. Remember the Columbia shuttle disaster?

    https://www.space.com/19538-columbia-shuttle-disaster-worms-survive.html

    —–
    Various salvageable experiments were recovered from the wreckage, including a live group of 1-millimeter-long roundworms, or nematodes, known as Caenorhabditis elegans.

    No one expected that the nematodes could survive the intense heat of re-entry, but the C. elegans got lucky, said Nathaniel Szewczyk, a scientist who worked with the nematodes in the aftermath of the crash.

    If the space-worms could survive that, then it’s probably also possible for a passport to survive.

    You’re such a totally ridiculous shill!!!

    After the 9/11 Attacks, the FBI searched long and hard all across America and especially throughout the NYC region and never managed to find a single Bin Laden operative anywhere, so apparently all the Islamicists had died in the attacks themselves. However, they did quickly round up something like 200 Mossad agents, a large fraction of them in the NYC area. It therefore seems vastly more likely that the unidentified individual who “found” the hijacker passport was one of the latter.

    But why are you merely stopping with half-measures? The case you really should be making is that Bin Laden and his Islamicist agents had successfully subverted the government of Israel and its Mossad. Therefore, all those 200 Mossad agents, including the one who “found” the passport, were actually operating under Bin Laden’s direction and were part of his fiendist Islamicist plot.

    Y
    ou should listen to the men in your family about such matters, rather than putting your misguided feminine sentiments before common sense. Glue traps are an effective defense against mice and cockroaches, both of which carry and spread disease-carrying germs throughout households they infest. If you have these pests in your residence, you should try to find and seal up any and all places they might be getting in. It’s a project, but a worthwhile one, just to protect you and your family against the diseases these vermin potentially carry.

    Typical cheap modern residential construction commonly leaves huge gaps in the drywall where it is cut for plumbing and electrical connections. Any creatures that gain access to wall and ceiling voids have a protected environment to breed and just a short trip to your kitchen for goodies. Rodents may chew their way into a room at a spot where some light penetrates, or they may simply run into a residence through a door that is held open for just a few seconds, so it is a good idea to keep areas around doors free of hiding places for rodents.

    Especially in regards to the purported flight path of the airplane that hit the Pentagon.

    I suppose there are three basic explanations.

    • There is the Stanford account. Basically outlined in the official 9/11 Commission Report. The terrorists were simply very resourceful or lucky, and managed to fly the jets into precisely the exact spots they were ordered to, with the exception of Shanksville, where the plane and all its contents disintegrated/vaporized upon impact.

    • Then there is the CGI account, where all the planes that day, and all the damage we saw, was all faked CGI. (or, at least most of it).

    • Then there is the third take, (which I adhere to), which is that the planes that hit the Towers, were specially outfitted drones, flown by remote into the Towers. Where they were intended as a kind of spectacular ‘shock and awe’, to outrage the American people, and provide the pretext for the destruction of the Towers, that were destroyed using explosives of some sort or another. Building 7 was probably intended to fall in the midst of the carnage, when the area was obscured in pyroclastic cloud. But something fucked up, and so they had to ‘wing it’, (pull it). It was a small fighter-type of jet, and or missile fired from same, that hit the Pentagon.

    There is a tone of debate about the exact kind of explosives used, whether DEW was used or not, or nukes, or many myriad theories, which some people are very passionate about. But to my knowledge, none of the people debating nukes or DEW or CGI, even for one second take the official 9/11 Commission Report seriously. Only people like the Stanford genius or ‘respectable’ journalists and bloggers like Steve Sailer or Fred Reed, and assorted NIST officials continue to do that.

    I guess it should be noted as well, that people I respect, like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and Ron Paul, also don’t openly question the 9/11 account. Doing so would no doubt hamper their other efforts, which are noble in their own right. But neither do they insist, (at least as far as I know) that the 9/11 Commission Report is honest and accurate.

    Also, (as far as I know) all the people in the second and third camps, (CGI and drones), all agree that Israel and the PNAC neocons, including the Mossad and CIA and FBI and elements within the Bush administration and msm – were complicit / responsible.

    Btw, I’m making a conscious effort not to deny or denigrate all the different theories about planes or nukes or CGI and so forth, because I don’t want to debate any of those points. And in the big picture, I don’t consider them relevant. It’s enough to know the 9/11 Commission Report was a Warren Commission-type of cover-up at the highest levels. Israel and the Bush administration did 9/11 – as a pretext to ‘destroy seven nations in five years’, that Israel considered inconvenient to their wider agenda of hegemony in the Middle East. There were no Muslim terrorists that day, only as Mr. Unz points out, hundreds of Mossad operatives, including the famous ones dancing and celebrating and filming the attacks.

    The goal was to have American men and women go fight and die, killing and being killed by Israel’s well-earned enemies in the Greater Levant.

    A huge win-win for the globalist Jewish supremacists.

    Hence my suspicion that Hitler’s little helpers may have planted beacons. You don’t need to force yourself to fly straight into the building. Just set the plane on autopilot and it will home on the glide path building.

    As so often, there’s the official story, and the full-blown ‘it was all staged’ version. I tend to feel the truth often lies somewhere in the middle. I’m pretty sure raging Muslim fundamentalist terrorists did in fact hijack the planes and fly them into the buildings. I’m also quite sure Israel was privy to the plot.

    What actually happened? Some scenario that accepts those two parameters. Precisely how extensive was Israeli involvement? Dunno — but somewhere within that range.

    They also know, however, that AIPAC controls the American government. There is also more control that we don’t see, involving Epstein-style blackmail of US politicians. The US has already admitted that they do not have any control over what Israel does, but they have to support them no matter what.”

    Methinks that there is some sort of similar control over the House of Saud, …. though it doesn’t have to be honeypot stuff, …. it can feature any kind of hidden occultish esoteric angle (for the case of the top American politicians as well), …. a ‘bargain’ of some kind, let’s say, that the top geopolitical actors on our side (which has included the House of Saud, all along, since the 1970’s, as a junior partner), perhaps partially innocently, even, decided to take, … but which quickly becomes a slippery slope because of the quagmire of the hidden occultish esoteric angle (whatever it might be). That’s a speculation, that I think is warranted, now. The geopolitical scene has the ‘feel’ of something like this, right about now. What precise hidden dynamics would drive such outlandish behavior that we are seeing geopolitically, now, though? You know, … something like: Positioning for a better place at the trough, with sharp elbows, among the cabal that plagues the west, before the coming cascade (of some kind) that is about to be poured upon us, at some soon point that seems cannot now be beyond the medium term (3 years at the outside now, … probably alot quicker than that, though) … a planned currency fiasco would fit that bill. Just saying. Are you ready to barter? Just saying. Maybe you should have some actual excess useful stuff laying about your abode and property and such, that could be used as barter, when that might be somewhat necessary to get some things, for awhile there, … might not be too dumb, right about now. I imagine that sufficient calories would still be available throughout any such currency fiasco, but if you want to eat some meat and such (which might only be limited for a year or two after the currency shock), …..maybe have some excess useful stuff, and a freezer full of meat, too. But maybe it isn’t about currency, and it is about some other esoteric hidden agenda. What though? Magical Jerusalem dirt hiding deep mysteries? Really? But then again those Hasidic Jews, that put themselves at the supremacist position over all other Israeli Jews, (which is quite the trick within this otherwise supremacist nation), are crazy into a sort of future-controlling, or at least future-taming, kind of esotericism, as are the Christian Zionists that indeed take their occult lead, from this brand of Jewish eostericism. But it seems the currency thing would be alot more likely reason for the current outlandish geopolitical behavior (because if there were actually some truth to this Hasidic/Christian-Zionist kind of esotericism, despite the differing interpretations between the two groups, … that would mean that there is actually something meaningful about the Old Testament sense of ‘Yahweh’ that we have cavalierly, dismissed). I am just going free-style here (open speculation). My main point is, …. something weird is going on that we don’t see the full view of.

    The nutshell was not about gravity, was it? It was – nothing, whatsoever, impeded the collapse of [Bldg 7] all three buildings; all three buildings had systemic structure failures below the points of impact, although there was no impact in one structure, which failed in so precise a time and order, that free fall was the result. In all three structures. In exactly the same manner. And, someone, somewhere, was yelling, Pull it!

    It seems a miracle, or that the index finger of Moloch was the external force that set the buildings in motion.

    The external force was…gravity.

    Based on a previous conversation on another thread, I don’t really understand his argument for a spontaneous collapse, as he doesn’t seem to grasp the level of scientific knowledge of the person posing the questions, (myself) and that is not his fault.

    No one has ever claimed a “spontaneous collapse” occurred, which would be idiotic!

    The fires weakened part of the support structure, which then was no longer able to support the weight of the higher part of the building, that weight being due, of course, to gravity. When the higher part of the building impacted lower parts, their support structure was not strong enough to survive the impact and so gave way. Gravity then continued to pull the unsupported part of the building down and so the collapse cascaded downwards.

    I know you are incredibly, almost unbelievably, stupid! But are you really not aware that what I just laid out has been the official narrative as to what has happened for over twenty years????

    This was extensively covered in the news media in 2001, and has been discussed interminably ever since. Even most 911 Truthers know that this is the official narrative, although they foolishly claim it is not true.

    This is not spontaneous collapse! It is gravity-driven collapse due initially to weakening of the support structure due to the fires.

    The planes [used on 9/11] must have been guided in some way.

    Indeed they were. Capt Dan Hanley explains in this 3 min video where he is being interviewed on Malaysian television:

    Dan Henley elaborates on how BUAP (Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Auto Pilot) technology was used to electronically commandeer the planes on 9/11. They were then guided by homing beacons to impact precisely in predesignated floors on the WTC towers.
    Nothing was left to chance – this was a precision operation.

    Capt Dan Henley’s career as a commercial pilot was destroyed by the Talmudic elite when he came out publicly about the existence of BUAP technology. He is a good friend of USMC Lt-Col (ret) Field McConnell, the premier 9/11 expert/researcher on the planet.
    MConnell himself had a 37 year career as a commercial pilot and in the military, where he flew F-4 and F-16 fighter aircraft.

    Dan Hanley left the U.S and lives in Pakistan, where he has resided for the last 12-13 years.

    BTW, I noticed that Rurik replied to your comment and gave you a heads up as to some sources you could reference to enlighten yourself about this matter.
    You should listen to what Rurik recommends, because he’s extremely knowledgeable about the events pertaining to the 9/11 False Flag, as he is on every other issue relating to ZOG malfeasance.

    One thing though, …. I think Dave is probably of the mind that the free fall time and the momentum cascade time, are much closer in duration, than people seem to think should be the case, … within only 2 or 3 seconds in each case I suppose, which Dave probably is also of the mind, is within the error bars around attempts at determining precisely that (because facades fell at different rates, and as such).

    I don’t think I have commented one way or another on that anywhere.

    The NIST reports do discuss all this, but I doubt anyone here, aside from me, has the ability to understand those reports even if he or she tried. Perhaps Colin or Patrick could understand the NIST reports, but certainly no 911 Truther is smart enough to do so!

    The bottom line is that the details of the issues you mention are indeed very complex to analyze correctly for a whole variety of reasons: anyone who wants to know why should try to understand the NIST reports (again: none of the 911 Truthers will be able to).

    Wild Man specifically asked me:

    But I think Dave is on record here calling it, that the official narrative is supportable. I really don’t think said stance could be considered too rational, myself, though. Maybe Dave is claiming much less than that, though? Dave?

    I am simply claiming that not a one of the 911 Truthers has come anywhere close to showing that there is any serious reason to reject the official narrative.

    Why do you think that is not “too rational”?

    Have you yourself carefully gone through the NIST reports and found errors in them?

    I was under the impression that you do not have the STEM background required to do so.

    And so how can you judge whether or not it is rational to accept the NIST analyses?

    I have for many decades debated many people who claimed to have proof that Einstein’s theory of special relativity was false. Needless to say, not a single one of them actually understood the basic physics.

    Do you see why that was a problem and why no physicist takes those people seriously?

    Do you see why the situation here is precisely the same?

    All of you 911 Truthers think that you have reason to distrust the official narrative, but not a one of you has the background in STEM needed to make such a judgment, now do you?

    You are really all like Young Earth Creationists disputing evolution, aren’t you?

    I think that’s the same idea that Alan Hart suggested about a dozen years ago on Kevin Barrett’s radio show. I don’t know enough about the technical details, but offhand it sounds reasonably plausible:

    https://www.unz.com/audio/kbarrett_tribute-to-alan-hart-his-coming-out-on-9-11-interview/

    Hart had spent decades as a senior BBC journalist covering the Middle East and published quite a lot of books on that topic, some of which I’ve read and found quite solid.

    Apparently, that was the show in which he publicly “came out” as a 9/11 Truther.

    My guess is that for every prominent, “respectable” figure who publicly declares himself a 9/11 Truther, there are probably ten or twenty times as many who are reluctant to reveal their true beliefs.

    That certainly seems the case with regard to the JFK Assassination, the Holocaust, and numerous other ultra-touchy matters.

    [Dave] E.g., why on earth would anyone put the passport there on the street if it didn’t come from the plane? And, for that matter, how reliable is the report that the passport was indeed found on the street and that it came from one of the passengers on the plane?

    [Ron] Actually, there’s no evidence that the hijacker passport was found on the street. Instead, from what I vaguely remember some “Good Samaritan” supposedly walked up to a police officer and handed him the passport, claiming that he’d found it lying on the street.

    That obviously greatly helped the police and the MSM quickly pin the blame on Bin Laden.

    Or, quite possibly it really did fly out of the plane when the plane disintegrated when it hit the Tower. Weird things like that happen in unusual situations.

    You don’t know any more than I do. No one knows.

    As it happens, my cousins’ cousins on the other side of the family were caught up — quite literally caught up! — in the 1957 tornado that hit Mount Vernon, Illinois (see here). Their family went through an unbelievable sequence of events — except I know it happened since we knew them well, and since they survived but their house did not.

    Weird things happen — weird things should be expected to happen — in weird situations.

    Ron also wrote:

    As I’ve said, you’re certainly a very intelligent individual, but without any knowledge of the basic 9/11 facts, it’s difficult for you to come to the correct conclusion. There really are something like 100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story, and each of us is free to focus on whichever we’d like since they all point in exactly the same direction. Even just 4-5 of them are probably enough.

    I have said countless times that I would not be surprised — indeed I rather suspect — that the US government has been less than transparent about what it knows and what it knew.

    I have said repeatedly that I would not be surprised if some government had some foreknowledge or some involvement in the terrorist attacks.

    But I would be very, very surprised if the events of September 11, 2001 involved violation of the laws of physics.

    And that is what most of the 911 Truthers are claiming.

    There are two issues here:

    A) Were the humans involved solely the accused Islamic hijackers?

    B) Did the physical events, in terms of the plane collisions and the collapse of the buildings, occur physically more or less as NIST claims?

    Question B is what the 911 Truthers tend to focus on and the question for which my expertise in physics is relevant.

    And the 911 Truthers’ claims re question B are outrageously, bizarrely false. None of them has succeeded in showing that there is any rational reason to challenge the basic outline of the NIST analyses. I doubt you really disagree.

    As to question A, I have no special expertise on that nor do I claim to have such expertise.

    I can merely point to common sense: the larger the conspiracy you wish to posit, the less likely it is that such a conspiracy could be kept secret.

    You want to claim that one or more of the “special services” — Mossad, CIA, MI6, etc. — had foreknowledge of the attacks but failed to act on it?

    Could well be.

    You want to claim that one or more of the “special services” had moles on the inside who acted as agents provocateurs, as we know happened in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping fiasco?

    Might be.

    You want to claim that Cheney and Bush and Tenet and the Joint Chiefs and all the top military brass planned it in advance?

    Well… there was Operation Northwoods! But that was never actually carried out, and keeping a conspiracy that large secret for more than twenty years would, I think, be hard.

    You say I am ignorant of the basic 9/111 facts.

    Well, as you know, I am writing a book on General Relativity.

    Suppose someone challenges me as to why I think General Relativity is, more or less, true.

    I can immediately reel off the three standard tests: the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, the deflection of light by the Sun, and the slowing of the passage of time deep in a gravitational field.

    The first had been observed before Einstein developed his theory, and General Relativity was the first theory that precisely calculated the observed precession.

    The other two predictions were novel to General Relativity, and both were confirmed quite precisely by observations after Einstein presented the theory.

    Do you see the point? In under 600 words and giving just three examples, I have, very briefly, explained why physicists think General Relativity is, more or less, correct.

    Anyone who wishes could follow up on these three examples online or in standard texts and confirm that I have been accurate. You would have trouble finding physicists who disagree that these are three of the most important tests of General Relativity.

    Now compare this to 911.

    Any of the 911 Truthers can indeed give his or her favorite three reasons to doubt the official narrative. But the 911 Truthers differ wildly among themselves, and, when you try to check up on the various claims they make, you generally find out that either the claim cannot be verified or the claim is not relevant to the general claim they are making about 911 or, very, very commonly, that they are simply lying.

    An example I have kept harping on is the claim made by Truth Vigilante that the gravity-driven collapse violates Newton’s Third Law: he claims, correctly as far as I can tell, that this claim is widespread among AE911Truth et al.

    And it is utter nonsense. You have a bachelor’s in physics, right?

    I hope you remember enough to know that that claim is utter nonsense!

    If you don’t, you ought to sue Harvard for educational malpractice.

    The problem is that the claims of the 911 Truthers about what physically happened on 9/11 are generally like that claim: obvious fantasies that violate the laws of physics or simply outright lies.

    And these guys do lie an enormous amount: vide Truth Vigilante’s blatant lie about me that I engaged in “falsifying data,” for which he does not even claim to have any evidence. Most significantly, the fact that he is obviously lying about this does not bother any of the 911 Truthers here at all.

    They are so accustomed to truly outrageous lies from their fellow 911 Truthers that they do not even bat an eyelash over a lie like that.

    This is a cult.

    But…. isn’t it possible that, as the punchline of the old joke has it, somewhere beneath all this horse shit, there must be a pony?

    Well, perhaps.

    Hence your point that I lack “any knowledge of the basic 9/11 facts.” Obviously, that’s not literally true: I certainly know a few of the basic facts.

    But as my example using General Relativity shows, a few facts should be enough to establish basic credibility for the claims of the 911 Truthers.

    And, unlike in the case of General Relativity, the 911 Truthers themselves cannot agree on a handufl of facts, that can actually be verified by skeptics, that give credence to their claims.

    You disagree?

    Then give us the three undisputed facts, as I did for General Relativity., that show there is something to the 911 case.

    And, no, the mysteriously found passport just does not work: it is way, way too easy to suppose that perhaps the passport was just ejected from the plane as a freak occurrence — stranger things have happened. Or conceivably that it was a case of mistaken identity — someone else’s’ passport. Or maybe even the passport event did not really occur.

    A few minutes looking into the details of the three classic tests of General Relativity would convince a reasonable person that Einstein was probably on to something: indeed, the report of Eddington’s measurement of the deflection of light by the Sun was front-page news in major newspapers at the time.

    Ordinary people who were not physicists could grasp that something was going on there.

    What is the equivalent for the claims made by the 911 Truthers. Where is the “elevator spiel” to someone who has not immersed himself in all this for decades that would convince a reasonable person that there is probably some there there.

    They’ve had more than two decades to come up with that “elevator spiel” and they have not been able to do that.

    Do you know any Mormons? Know them well enough to have discussed their religion with them in detail?

    There are way over ten million Mormons in the world, far more than the 911 Truthers, I suppose.

    And they will tell you that if only you will immerse yourself in the LDS literature, you too will come to realize that their zany beliefs are true.

    Just as you told me that, if only I had immersed myself as long as you have in the 911 nonsense, I too would believe.

    Except…ask the Mormons for that “elevator spiel,” similar to my less than 600 word spiel for General Relativity, and, oh yes, they can give it — much better in fact than the 911 Truthers can.

    Except… if you try to check it out, it doesn’t check out: see, for example, David Persuitte’s book Joseph Smith and the Origins of the Book of Mormon. Or google “The Book of Abraham.”

    Do you see the point?

    “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

    And if the people making those extraordinary claims cannot give a three- point “elevator spiel” of the sort I gave for General Relativity that actually can be checked out… well, General Relativity is one of the most mathematically complex theories devised by the mind of man, and yet I could give the “elevator spiel,” that can indeed be checked out, in less than 600 words.

    If that cannot be done… if the story is “Immerse yourself in the [911 literature, the Talmud, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, or whatever]… and then you too will believe“… we are likely dealing with a cult.

    That was indeed your message to me:

    As I’ve said, you’re certainly a very intelligent individual, but without any knowledge of the basic 9/11 facts, it’s difficult for you to come to the correct conclusion. There really are something like 100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story, and each of us is free to focus on whichever we’d like since they all point in exactly the same direction. Even just 4-5 of them are probably enough.

    Fine: tell us the 4-5 in an “elevator spiel” of under 600 words that can be easily checked out so that all of us skeptics — Patrick and I and all the rest — will know you are correct.

    I don’t think you can.

    Because we are clearly dealing with a cult.

    Just like the Mormons.

    But nastier, much nastier — Mormons try not to bear false witness as the 911 Truthers constantly do.

    Truth Vigilante accused me of “falsifying data” in an academic context.

    He does not even pretend to have any evidence for that.

    And not a one of you can bring yourselves to condemn this bearing of false witness, this very blatant and obvious lying.

    That is conclusive proof that you are members of a cult.

    The can’t — because they are members of a cult.

    Just as you are and as Tiptoethrutulips is and all the rest.

    Sure Truth Vigilante is worse — he is a knowing and intentional pathological liar.

    If someone behaved that way outside the cult, you would not use coarse language towards me when I insisted that everyone admit what he had done.

    But this is different — and you are angry — because you are part of a cult.

    Imagine that someone claimed that you were a pedophile and had spent decades in prison for multiple counts of pedophilia. You would be just a bit annoyed, right?

    And imagine that the person who made those claims made no pretense at all of having any evidence for those claims and indeed obviously had no evidence at all.

    Wouldn’t you expect decent people to say that the person making those false claims should stop and was a bad person for libeling you?

    That is what has happened with Truth Vigilante.

    But you cannot criticize him for that, because you are a member of a cult.

    I am deeply gratified that you are so obviously angry and used such coarse language because that proves my point — you clearly are behaving this way because you are a member of a cult.

    So, I thank you for proving my point, and, yes, I will continue to make this point… again and again and again.

    I have a skill of getting people in the real world to admit to beliefs they hold that they would rather not have made public — for example, several members of the clergy have admitted to me that they do not actually believe the claims they preach from the pulpit.

    And since I am a very harsh critic of the state — I am, after all, an anarchist, a nice bourgeois, law-abiding, neighborly anarchist — I am especially likely to have people who are critical of the state and the ruling elite confide in me.

    I went and looked at this exchange again, and you are pretty clearly misrepresenting what happened. Anybody who read what you say above would think that you had made some devastating points to which I was at a loss to respond. That is not at all the case. You wrote the above comment, which I considered pretty worthless. However, I did take the time to write a point-by-point response. Here: https://www.unz.com/runz/remembering-the-9-11-truth-movement/?showcomments#comment-6152493

    Basically, the whole argument you were making is beneath contempt. You’re saying that it was somehow soooo difficult to show fake videos on the TeeVee that they flew planes into buildings for real. QED. Well, this is quite silly really. It is always going to be a lot easier to show fake visuals of a plane hitting a building than it is to actually fly a plane into a building. By the same token, whatever anybody thinks about the Apollo moon landings, I think a reasonable person would have to concede that it is a lot easier to make a fake video of the moon missions than it is to send men to the moon (and back). So, your basic argument, that it is technically difficult (so you say…) to make fake videos and show them on the TeeVee and therefore, the plane crashes are real. This is not something that withstands a few minutes of analysis.

    Anyway, I wote the response that I link above, which was #498 and then it was YOU who walked away from the discussion! That is what happened and there is a clear electronic record of that.

    By the way, at an earlier stage, you claimed that you had read the NIST report on Building 7 in its entirety. I did not find that credible and said quite openly that you were surely lying.

    Do you still maintain that you read said NIST report from start to finish? You also claimed (and I believe this claim) that you never read any book about 9/11. Not David Ray Griffin or anybody else. So the completely claim is that you never read any of the ample literature on 9/11 Truth, but you did read that NIST report in its entirety AND you found it “quite convincing”.

    So, that’s where things stand. You do seem to be a chronic liar. You are insinuating in the above that you wrote this devastating comment that I could not respond to. But that is not true. I wrote a response, making various points, and then it was YOU who walked away. Ron Unz did try to pick up the slack, making some rather feeble attempt to answer my points, but then I responded to him, and after another iteration or so, he also had to exeunt stage left, since he quite obviously had no argument against the points I was making. I think anybody who goes through that exchange would see that it was a decisive rout. Yet, here you are, trying to represent that you won the debate, when there is a clear electronic record that shows what really happened.

  411. @Sparkon

    Yeah, well, as you perceive, our host has some peculiar ideas. He puts much more value on what some supposed authority tells him than on what his own eyes should be able to see.

    Well, yeah. Actually, it seems to me that figuring out that there were no real plane crashes on 9/11 is quite a trivial exercise in critical thinking. But that you’ve got this entire army of “Truthers” (I would tend to call them “half-truthers”) who are dedicated to blowing smoke on this issue… that is all quite noteworthy.

    As for Unz and his continual appeal to “authority figures” and such, Wikipedia has a page listing all the major, well-known logical fallacies and “Appeal to Authority” is naturally one of them. In fact that fallacy has its own separate wiki page.

    Of course, it’s not too hard generally to point out that Unz’s discourse is (at least at times) utterly replete with well known logical fallacies, not just that one. Actually, the one that he probably uses most is ad hominem, just characterizing whoever he is arguing with as a “conspiracy theorist” or “anti-vaxxer” or whatever loaded term. Though he also begs the question quite frequently — you know, using the proposition that is under dispute as a building block in constructing an argument for that very proposition. The “beg the question” fallacy also has its own wikipedia page.

    IMHO, it would really be much better if Unz added certain moves to his repertoire. For example, when, at a loss to respond to his interlocutor’s points, he could say something like: “Well, Sparkon, you do raise some interesting points that I had not considered and I guess I really do have to think about this and get back to you.” You know, something like that. he could then walk away and, at least, he would come off as respectful and classy. But this resort to cheap low blows in the form of obvious fallacies… it’s bound to give anybody a really bad impression. I guess all of this does largely emerge from some kind of immense self-regard — I mean this near total inability to concede a point.

    Well, also, specifically in terms of the conversation about the (non-existent) plane crashes on 9/11, well, that is symptomatic of a certain kind of controlled opposition faction of 9/11 Truth. (I call it the 9/11 half-truth movement.) But again, it’s all part of a more general phenomenon, that people will tell the truth (some of it anyway) about a topic, but then, on some specific aspects, will just blow smoke endlessly.

  412. @Patrick McNally

    Maybe this “male passerby in a business suit” was really some sort of accessory of Bin Laden’s who had been assigned the job of giving some cop a passport so they would know who did it?

    Sure, I agree something like that is a strong possibility. What I meant was that the notion that a random passerby found the passport and turned it over to the police was ‘fishy’.

    This “male passerby in a business suit” might just be an ordinary person who found something on the street and turned it over.

    Possible, but not very likely (therefore fishy). People would be in a frenzy and would not be looking for stuff in the rubble.

    And, prior to your request to me last summer, I did not really have much of an opinion about 911 Truthers one way or the other.

    Well, that much, as far as it goes, seems to be true. At a point in time 22 years after the event, you quite apparently knew NOTHING about the topic. Actually a further half-year down the road, you STILL know thing about the topic. All of your “arguments” basically amount to expressing your own limitless self-regard and arrogant contempt for other people. Such is your self-regard that you feel that you can enter into a “debate” about something without knowing even the first thing about the topic.

    But I have never run across a person in the real world who claims to be a 911 Truther.

    Well, all this means is that you don’t get out much. Most of the world is not your social circles, nor even the USA itself, nor even the “West” generally speaking.

    In most of the wider world, some form of 9/11 Truth (i.e. disbelief in the US government’s version of what happened) is the majority view. That is clear enough. Assuming that it is true that you never, in your entire life, have run across anybody who expresses doubts about the official 9/11 story, all it attests to is the very limited culture-bound bubble in which you exist.

    “As to question A, I have no special expertise on that nor do I claim to have such expertise.

    I can merely point to common sense: the larger the conspiracy you wish to posit, the less likely it is that such a conspiracy could be kept secret.”

    Well Dave, … that is the rub, – no? Why do you and your supposedly very rational ilk miss the obvious? About these 19 jihadists that apparently conducted this operation according to the official narrative, obviously, … it would be ludicrous to conclude that they could have acted alone … too many coincidences. At the very least they needed a team of structural engineers (granted these could have been Saudi controlled structural engineers, ….. but there are signs to consider alternatives to said conclusion, as well). It (the official narrative) begins to unravel from there (even if it turns out it is 100% masterminded by elements of the House of Saud, … which personally, I doubt we will find).

    Or, quite possibly it (to be clear: the alleged hijacker’s alleged passport) really did fly out of the plane when the plane disintegrated when it hit the Tower. Weird things like that happen in unusual situations.

    Quite obviously, the ID was planted on the scene.

    You don’t know any more than I do. No one knows.

    Well, you’d think that everybody understands that this is just part of the typical modus operandi in a false flag operation.

    Ron Unz, if you’re reading this now, surely now the penny must’ve dropped, that Fizzy-cyst Dovid is a LIAR of the most despicable sort.
    He has no qualms whatsover about telling all manner of whoppers.

    Fizzy-cyst Dovid is a desperate, DESPERATE man. UR readers, can you see how he was PLEADING with us in that long-winded rant, to come on board with his overtures.

    With every message Dovid Miller posts, BEGGING people to believe, his credibility (what infinitesimal amount that he may have possessed), is rapidly evaporating.
    He’ll scream in your ear that: ‘I’m a Fizzy-cyst’ you see, having graduated from Sanford and Son community college, and therefore you MUST believe.
    That’s how the playbook has always functioned. The playbook makes no allowance for dissent and critical analysis.
    We the ZOG affiliated ruling elite that are the products of ZOG controlled western academia, we TELL YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE and you prols must believe.

    We told you that the Lusitania was a passenger liner and assured you that it contained no military armaments in its cargo hold, which the Germans sunk for no good reason – and you believed.
    We told you that the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941 was an unprovoked attack by the Japanese, and you believed.
    We told you that the Nth Vietnamese provoked the the Gulf of Tonkin incident and that Saddam had WMD’s, and each time you believed.

    ‘THIS IS NOT HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK’, whines Dovid Miller. The playbook says the solitary role of the plebs is to BELIEVE and never question what ZOG controlled academia/the MSM and their conscience-free minions tell them.

    Dovid Miller, now foaming at the mouth will shriek:

    ‘I KNOW STUFF – stuff that you prols cannot comprehend’ (because it was part of the ‘hard stuff’ taught in high school and thus beyond your mental capacities), that’s why you have to believe me.

    It’s reminiscent of the scene from the movie Trading Places. Picture Dovid Miller screaming this out after he’s been exposed as the FRAUD that he most assuredly is (1 min video):

    TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON, turn them back on !!!
    These will be Dovid Miller’s final words, just before he’s apprended and charged with aiding and abetting the perpetrators of the 9/11 False Flag, after the 9/11 Truth and Reconciliation Commission has handed down its verdict.

    I sure wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of this wretched snake when he is publicly exposed.

    Jon Revusky, I’m glad you’ve joined us in this debate.
    (You read write – no typo there).

    You and I have had many a disagreements in the past and will likely have many more, but that’s all water under the bridge.
    The minutiae of how the 9/11 False Flag transpired is not important at this moment. We can discuss that between ourselves and have a rigorous back and forth another time. Whether there were real planes or not, CGI or holograms in the mix, is something that can be worked out another time.
    What is important is that:

    We KNOW FOR SURE that the official USG/NIST/ZOG scripted explanation for how the WTC towers came down on 9/11 is absurd.

    We also know that those that defend it (eg: Fizzy-cyst Dovid, Patrick ‘Mordechai’ McNally, Nicelamb from Reykjavik, Wizard of ZOG and their ilk), are WORTHLESS LIARS.
    And because they won’t give up their pursuit of flogging this dead horse (aka the official story of how 9/11 transpired), it appears obvious that they’ve have been PUT UP TO IT.

    SUMMARY: Whether it be individuals like Sparkon, Iris, Jim Fetzer, you Jon Revusky or countless others that I’ve had disagreements with on peripheral aspects of 9/11 in the past, one thing seems obvious to me.
    All of you appear to be sincere, you guys genuninely want to root out the truth.
    I don’t claim to know everything about 9/11, there are just not enough hours in the day to absorb everything there is to know.
    I’m not privy to the blueprints of just how 9/11 was carried out exactly, I’m not in the inner circle of people like Lucky Larry Silverstain, Philip Zelikow, Michael Chertoff or Richard ‘The Prince of Darkness’ Perle.
    So I (like the rest of you), have to piece together the available evidence. We need to join the dots as best we can and conjure up a tapestry that fits in with the available data.

    Along the way, some of our ideas will be proven wrong or in need of amendment. And if we’re to progress we each have to acknowledge those mistakes. (God knows I’ve been wrong on more occasions than I care to remember in my crusade to determine the truth of 9/11, and will no doubt be found wrong again on some aspects of this heinous crime).

    At the end of the day, this is the most important take away:
    People like Dovid Miller (aka Fizzy-cyst Dovid) ARE OUR COMMON ENEMY – this is abundantly obvious.
    Fizzy Dov started paying out on a few of us, beginning last year in a 9/11 related UR thread authored by Mark Gaffney, where he scurrilously attacked individuals like Iris, Rurik, myself and a many others that wouldn’t subscribe to his pseudoscience.

    And so it continued in Open Thread # 8 and now this one.
    But as this thread has progressed, Dovid Miller’s paranoia and advanced neurosis has gotten so bad, that he is now calling Tippy Toe lady, Sparkon, Tanabear, Wild Man and several others, he’s calling them ‘evil psychopaths’, ‘crazy’, liars and worse.

    Anyone and everyone who disagrees with Dovid Miller is subject to a spittle laden tirade.
    This guy has LOST IT, he’s on the verge of a mental breakdown.

    He’s particularly sensitive to the info I possess about his fraudulent history, that I have a good mind to relay to the hierarchy at his alma mater of Sanford and Son community college.

    Your insultee must also have an inflated ego; an inferiority complex; and a thin skin, as we often see in people who spend their lives in academia, insisting that everyone else should – listen up!

    Michelle Obama also has a dissertation/thesis available online, so…..

    Professor Megamind demands that we should all join his Mean Girls Club and gang-up on his enemies, as he clearly needs emotional support against those who challenge him:

    Truth Vigilante claimed that I falsified data but offered no evidence at all for that and has refused to do so: I provided a link so that you could read his claims in context.

    I’m not really interested in your history with TV. What does it have to do with our conversations?

    Having said that, TV may be a bit colorful, but unlike you, he does not come across as a sniveling, snide, overly sensitive, cry-bully. Besides, TV is an ally, in a general sense, therefore I’m not going to undermine him because you demand it. Fight your own battles, Professor.

    Professor Megamind slings another challenge and ends with a silly attempt at another insult:

    This was intended as a test for you. Thank you for participating in the test. We now knew what you yourself are: an evil psychopathic cultist.

    Who’s We?

    Who are you to be requiring tests of internet commentariats?

    If I had passed your test, I’m sure it would reflect poorly on me.

    Professor Megamind spouts off, yet again:

    The external force was…gravity. And you honestly are too stupid to grasp that this is what the official narrative is claiming..

    Yes, exactly. That’s the entire argument – Gravity did it! The gravitational pull of the Towers caused the planes/drones to hurl themselves into the interior of the Towers; the gravitational pull of the subterranean Black Hole, whirling beneath the Towers, caused the free fall cascade downwards, pulverizing everything and everyone to thermite laced dust/powder, with the exception of a single passport, which, like the miracle of a blade of grass slicing through a non-porous tree trunk, remained intact and contained no residual thermite dust/powder.

    Professor Megamind takes another shot:

    And I won’t add a gratuitous comment about your being a woman: I do not know any female over the age of ten who cannot grasp this.

    Oh, why not? Go ahead. Let’s see you go there.

    I suppose you chose kindness?

    Everyone knows I’m smarter than a ten year old.

    Professor Megamind makes another obvious-to-the-average-ten-year-old comment:

    This is not spontaneous collapse! It is gravity-driven collapse due initially to weakening of the support structure due to the fires.

    On earth, everything that falls/floats downward is gravity-driven, like, for instance, James Forrestal – gravity killed him. Gravity has killed more airplane passengers than terrorists or inclement weather, so maybe we should outlaw gravity instead of White Men/White nations/White technology. Maybe we should send some Gravity to Haiti and eliminate that Black Hole. Do something useful, Professor Megamind, and figure out how to weaponize Gravity before the Israelis do, but be careful over at Sanford & Son University, as Fang Fang is on the lookout for another stooge from whom to steal secrets/technology.

    And, again:

    The evil psychopath Tiptoethrutulips

    Do you want an eye-roll button, Professor?

    You are a caricature of an intellectual/academic – ergo:

I have a special power over my underlings, comprised of 99% of all humanity, which enables me to entice them to say what they would never say to any lesser beings [in paraphrase].

    1. What qualifications do you have to make any sort of psychoanalysis, based solely on internet commentary? Your little project is an utter farce and nothing more than an exercise in the hyper-flexation of an out-of-control egomaniac, who masquerades as an expert on all things natural/supernatural, with the exception of self-analysis and reflection.

    2. You should shift gears and try stand-up comedy; see if you can give Bill Burr a run for his money.

    And, no, the mysteriously found passport just does not work: it is way, way too easy to suppose that perhaps the passport was just ejected from the plane as a freak occurrence

    Well, I have to disagree with you there. The fiery crash of the jetliner into the WTC and subsequent explosion destroyed almost everything. As far as I know, not a single scrap of paper and barely a bone-fragment was recovered.

    The notion that one of the hijackers’ passports flew out of his pocket, out of the plane, and landed totally intact on the street below seems extraordinarily implausible, probably far less than a trillion-to-one event. On the other hand, it’s exactly what would be expected as part of a plot intended to immediately implicate one of the alleged hijackers for the media.

    Well, as you know, I am writing a book on General Relativity…The problem is that the claims of the 911 Truthers about what physically happened on 9/11 are generally like that claim: obvious fantasies that violate the laws of physics or simply outright lies.

    Actually, I think this is the explanation for your responses. You’ve gotten into a bitter online feud with some of the crazy 9/11 Truthers who hang around this website. They’ve accused you of all sorts of ridiculous things and gotten you very angry. Therefore, it’s extremely difficult for you to admit that they’re probably correct on the big 9/11 issue, even if they happen to be entirely wrong on many of the individual elements.

    As I’ve emphasized, that’s supposedly the method that Cass Sunstein had advocated for protecting the official narrative against “conspiracy theories” by stirring up online agitation using “cognitive infiltrators.” Towards the end of this life, Michael Collins Piper had huge problems with lots of those agitated conspiracy-activists, who believed all sorts of ridiculous things and accused him of being a “gatekeeper” when he rejected their nonsense:

    Thanks TruthV

    I’m very glad if I didn’t offend others in our efforts to get to the truth. And so if someone like yourself, whose opinion I value, didn’t find fault in my little summation, then I accomplished what I wanted to.

    Hopefully those others, with whom I have minor disagreements with the ‘how’ of 9/11, are also amenable to what I wrote. I suspect that hammering on the ‘nukes or no-nukes, or planes or no-planes, is fine in the context of people who are in 100%, absolute agreement on the ‘who’; (Israel, the Jewish media, neocons, and traitors in the U.S. gov), and of course the ‘why’, (wars for Israel).

    Once we’ve all established that, then as an aside, discussing the chemical properties of the explosives that were used or not used, can occupy people concerned with the minutia to their heart’s content.

    But you don’t have to know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, either European, or African.., to know that Building 7 didn’t collapse into its basement because of office fires or vibrations.

    As to our mutual little buddy getting triggered over you suggesting he needs some ‘custodial supervision’ or that his endless self-accolades deserved to be mocked,.. we all know of your sense of humor, by now.

    My guess is that for every prominent, “respectable” figure who publicly declares himself a 9/11 Truther, there are probably ten or twenty times as many who are reluctant to reveal their true beliefs.

    Ron, you are deluding yourself.

    I obviously can’t be sure, but I think I’m probably correct.

    Let’s take the analogous case of the JFK assassination. Here’s what I wrote in my 2018 article, and quoted in the one I’d published earlier this week:

    Having read a couple of books that completely upended my settled beliefs about a central event of twentieth century history, I simply didn’t know what to think. Over the years, my own writings had put me on friendly terms with a well-connected individual whom I considered a member of the elite establishment, and whose intelligence and judgment had always seemed extremely solid. So I decided to very gingerly raise the subject with him, and see whether he had ever doubted the “lone gunman” orthodoxy. To my total astonishment, he explained that as far back as the early 1990s, he’d become absolutely convinced in the reality of a “JFK conspiracy” and over the years had quietly devoured a huge number of the books in that field, but had never breathed a word in public lest his credibility be ruined and his political effectiveness destroyed.

    A second friend, a veteran journalist known for his remarkably courageous stands on certain controversial topics, provided almost exactly the same response to my inquiry. For decades, he’d been nearly 100% sure that JFK had died in a conspiracy, but once again had never written a word on the topic for fear that his influence would immediately collapse.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/prof-jeffrey-sachs-and-the-jfk-assassination/

    Prof. Jeffrey Sachs is one of the world’s most prominent mainstream academics, which is why I found his sudden recent declaration that JFK had died in a conspiracy involving the CIA so significant. Other very prominent public figures have privately told me the same thing, with some of them sure that Mossad was responsible.

    David Talbot’s national bestseller from more than a dozen years ago revealed that a large number of top Kennedy Administration officials were always sure that a conspiracy had been involved but they never said anything publicly, so I had remained unaware of that.

    Or take the Holocaust. As I mentioned in my long 2018 article, I was very surprised to discover that prominent public intellectual Christopher Hitchens was secretly as Holocaust Denier, as apparently was your own old friend Murray Rothbard. But neither of them ever said anything publicly, so almost no one became aware of their true beliefs.

    I personally know at least a couple of fairly prominent people who have similarly unorthodox beliefs about 9/11 but will never say anything publicly. Since I just happened to discover their views, I strongly suspect that there are much, much larger numbers of such people out there as well, though I obviously don’t have any proof.

    Consider your own situation. You’d said you were very reluctant to provide the names of those pro-Israel physicists at Stanford who torpedoed your academic career more than 40 years ago because you were concerned about possible retaliation. Wouldn’t prominent public people be vastly more fearful of being labeled “conspiracy theorists” if they divulged their true views on the 9/11 attacks?

    Here’s another analogy. The Israeli government is currently conducted the worst televised massacre of helpless civilians in the history of the world. Surely a large majority of all the left-liberal humanitarian types in Hollywood and among celebrities are absolutely horrified by this. Yet 99.9% of them are too terrified of retaliation to say anything publicly.

    I think that sort of situation certainly applies to other controversial issues such as the 9/11 attacks.

Like I wouldn’t bring this up during the minuted portion of the meetings I often ran on a bi-weekly (fortnighty) basis (with up to 20 people around the conference room table, high up looking down upon one view of our massive portfolio, with others calling in, … rehab projects costing up to the 10 millions range), … I would wait for shoot the shit at the end, …. believe it or not, I was much more often than not the boss-man presiding over this gaggle of various experts all paid way more than me, … and these were experts working on my c0mpanies dime, as approved by me, (and not the insurance company’s).

    This is the way it works: If the loss-prevention group at the big corporate property insurance companies don’t care, … then it is a nothingburger and it’s best not to stir the shit then (which of course I knew, … just do my bit of due diligence, as described, and nothing more). Who knows why the insurance companies seemed to not care about building 7 coming down the way it did, by official narrative (pretty much an accident waiting to happen, by NIST, … but it took until 2010 for them to even conclude that). In the corporate world, … not my business, then. However, … nobody is going to beat up a guy like me (well maybe, there are jealous people too, and then crazy things happen) in the corporate world, for seeing potentially hidden things (if you indeed have the knack, that is). Because that brings money. And lots of it (to figure better than the other guy, when big real estate deals are at stake, involving chaos-mode risk potentials that are hard to discern but can be dicerned). I brought deals. I brought one that was absolutely magnificent. And so, of course, my bosses let me say my piece about the ‘sky-is-falling climate change narrative’, very early on, when I noticed our American real estate acquisition strategies did not care one whit about ‘ocean front’ …. say it smarty-pants, because we know you are smart, but then shut-up and carry on, which I did (this is for the insurance companies to figure out whether they should be concerned about it or not). It’s not like the insurance companies couldn’t and didn’t come to our very large commercial sites. They did all the time. But I am certainly not going to get called out by upper management for asking such a loss-prevention insurance dude, that happens to be visiting site, about building 7 let’s say, when my action, if warranted, would only lead to higher cost for the company I worked for. See? These competing incentives a person in the corporate world is subject is complicated. Some deception is part of the game. I dunno, … maybe someone like Dave doesn’t appreciate the shark-infested-waters aspect to the corporate world?

    Now see here, …. you can bet your bottom dollar the the very top executives of said insurance company, and top executives of the company I worked for, met perhaps 4 times per year over lunch or something like that. And they discuss things. Things I was, of course, not privy to. And that is just the way it is.

    ‘What are you attempting to drive at here Dave? The NIST report implies (for the twin towers) this could not have been pulled off without detailed and disciplined foreknowledge of the likely outcomes of many intricate interactions featuring high momentums at certain masses, featuring upper floor trajectories (but not too high) along with chaotic-mode jet-fuel-burn (featuring the correct amount of said fuel) heating structural elements inconsistently beyond design specs, leading to localized structural connection failures, finally cascading to global failure and collapse…’

    But there are also just the odds. Islamic terrorists have attempted numerous terrorist attacks that were only partly successful, or that flopped, or that perhaps failed so miserably that they never even got our attention.

    Weren’t they bound to win the big spin eventually?

    However while I’ve said, there’s a wide range of possibilities, if I were a betting man I’d pick the truth in the gross physical details as being as the official story would have it — but Israel having done all the handholding they could without the terrorists themselves figuring out they were being used.

    would proffer something improbable.

    you’re a smart fellow Colin,

    have you ever wondered how improbable it would be for three news agencies to have pre-reported the collapse of Building 7, before it did?

    With Fox News – even telling us how and why Building 7 fell, (before it did), by explaining that it was “incredibly structurally damaged”.

    Are you comfortable with the fact that they destroyed all the evidence of this miracle, before it could be investigated to determine how this steel-frame building collapsed into its basement at free-fall speed?

    Is there anything improbable about any of that, to your mind?

    You know, Ron Unz keeps mentioning that I’m obsessed with ‘ZOG’ as well.
    In any event, I won’t get into a long winded explanation other than to say … FOLLOW THE MONEY.
    That will tell you who has the MEANS to conduct these extremely elaborate False Flags, murders of Presidents and would-be Presidents, of elaborate deceptions and hoaxes.

    That entity or cabal that is causing this misery and despair, the JFK coup d’etat, the 9/11 False Flag, propagating the Anthropogenic Global Warming hoax and much, MUCH more, has deep pockets. They control the western MSM, lord over the BIS, IMF, World Bank. the SWIFT payments system, they own/control all the major westerm central banks and can conjure scores of trillions with a key stroke on their computers to dole out to themselves and their cronies.

    Now, you say it’s not ZOG. Fair enough. Then …. WHO* THE EFF IS IT???

    (*Because if you don’t have substantive proof that there is another cabal out there with considerable financial/political clout, and the evidence to back up your assertion, then you are in NO position to be saying it’s not ZOG or anyone else).
    It’s not enough that you just tell me, show me the proof that they even have one one-hundredth of the financial wherewithal of the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel operating out of the City of London.
    You need only read Larry Romanoff’s UR thread titled ‘Richest man in the World’ to get some idea of the incalculable wealth that ZOG possesses (a minimum of multiples of U.S GDP).

    Let’s hear it Mr Wild Fellow, I and the other UR readers are all ears, waiting to hear about this alternative cabal or collective of cabals that are behind all the mischief in the world.

    Maybe I see things a bit differently, as to odds and such, if either this or that, being at least closer to the actual truthful narrative, … in these two senses:

    Firstly, I am not even willing to make a bet on ‘the truth in the gross physical details’ …. to me, it looks so opaque still, …. all I see is that free-fall looks to be about just as likely as momentum-cascade, given the not great evidence, …. and that IS the middle road assessment as far as I can discern, …. and so, then, given the state of the gross-macro evidence (videotape of fall times) …. anything is still possible, … and all the rest downstream from that is just too technical for me, I mean I suppose I could learn all about vid-editing and such, but to me, I guess, I haven’t deemed something like that worth the effort, when there is lower hanging fruit (see “Secondly’), …. and;

    Secondly, … the 9/11 culpability signals, … seem to be shared around in a strange way, ….. almost akin to the signal ordering we see today, geopolitics-wise, with respect to the Gazan conflict, and that is this:

    Israel/American-hegemonic-brute/the House of Saud ….. such primary triad (the other western nations are secondary to the primacy of this triad) is held together by the glue of the faux-west corporatist globalism with its oversized, at approx 25%, Jewish membership, …. shows it’s hand in such a way, that puts the Jewish interests and Israel as dominant, in the ordering of said triad, at these two critical junctures, ‘9/11’, and then ‘Gazan conflict since Oct 7th’.

    So I would be willing to venture (bet) something along those lines, and a such be willing to be alot more exacting than you, about this portion of your speculation offered (opposite nodes of certainty than you, via mirco/macro levels analysis) … because I believe it is a better bet to take, even though it is still not anywhere close to a sure bet, yet, …. but the evidence for it (Jewish dominance within the cabal) otherwise does seem to keep growing, …. but Biden kicking Bibi’s ass could put the kibosh on my wild-card bet at any time, nevertheless, … I get that, … but wow, …. the 9/11 physical evidence discussion is a nightmare, after the bare introductory information. To my mind, it is not so much that infiltrators have been sent here to UR to muck up the truth-seeking-proceeds, or something, but that potentially, this whole thing (the 9/11 event) was designed to be opaque at the gross physical details level, in precisely this rather ‘mocking’ way (is it free fall or not?) type thing. But that is just speculation. But bottom line for the bet, …. it is impossibly opaque enough still, to make it very hard to see beyond 50/50 on that physical evidence. Then, …. even if it is ‘momentum cascade’, then the official narrative would then have to face further burdens beyond that, … you know , some people think it was drones or something. So many possibilities to consider. Too bad we don’t have better data to make a final determination on the rates of fall, eh?, …. sort of like how it is too bad we didn’t have a concurrenct phase 3 clinical trial that tested covid-recovered-unvaxxed against covid-naive-vaxxed, .. which any doofus (including Trump) should have asked for, under Project Warp-Speed conditions for fucksakes, ….. hahahaha!, …. please don’t trash, … it’s true.

    Anyways, on this you passage:

    “But there are also just the odds. Islamic terrorists have attempted numerous terrorist attacks that were only partly successful, or that flopped, or that perhaps failed so miserably that they never even got our attention.

    Weren’t they bound to win the big spin eventually?”

    Yes, you are spot-on right about that. We could go over it if you like, but in summary, even if this 9/11 event turns out to be 100% an element of House of Saud mastermind, … the official 9/11 narrative still falls apart, …what the hell with all that weird Bush 2 activity letting the Sauds fly (when no one else could) in the wake of 9/11, … and then his censoring of sections of the 9/11 report, for national security reasons, pertaining to potential involvement by elements of the House of Saud?, …. is it because he knew they weren’t guilty? (or at least just mildly guilty, perhaps in the know about wahhabist royal princes in their midst funding this or that subversive action, like trying for weird control of western Islamic schools and such, like was not uncommon)? That’s what it more-so looks like to me. Probably goes back to the 1993 bombing in the parking garage below one of the twin towers, … like that actual small potatoes (like the 19 of 9/11 were supposed to be small potatoes folk) probable jihadist attempt, got the faux-west globalist group to thinking in new creative ways. To me it looks like 9/11 was used to hem in the House of Saud, whilst at the same time working to destroy their middle east oil competitors that were threatening to go petro-dollar rogue, perhaps even, without the Sauds asking for the 2nd part.

    He’s particularly sensitive to the info I possess about his fraudulent history, that I have a good mind to relay to the hierarchy at his alma mater of Sanford and Son community college.

    As much as I despise this Dave Miller character (a.k.a. PhysicistDave) I have to point out that it is completely improper for you to delve into his personal history or whatever while yourself remaining anonymous.

    If you really don’t understand this, it would be because you are an utter moral imbecile. Generally speaking, you do come across as a very dishonest, scummy individual, and that would tend to have the effect of bringing 9/11 Truth into disrepute by association.

    Granted, sometimes your shillery for the criminals is comical. I do recall that you were claiming that tens of thousands (or was it hundreds of thousands?) of people saw the planes hit the buildings directly in real-time. (i.e. not on the TeeVee.) I challenged you to name some of them, and you came up with a couple of people.

    “Old Philosopher” (the pseudonym of some anonymous participant on this site) and also “Unnamed Black Dude”, who is some some… unnamed black dude… who appears in some youtube video you linked.

    I do not think you even mentioned Mark Walsh, a.k.a. “Harley Guy” or any of the other handful of obviously false witnesses. The two eyewitnesses that you came up with were “Old Philosopher” and “unnamed black dude”.

    But, anyway, okay, that is, as you say, “water under the bridge”. If you do genuinely want to reset our relationship, you would, for one thing, have to concede that you cannot name any credible witnesses to the plane crashes. Now, okay, if you want to keep claiming that said plane crashes really happened or even that tens of thousands of people saw it, well, fine, but you would have to concede that you cannot name any eyewitnesses. Because, quite obviously, you cannot.

    Really, as for your prior claim that tens (or maybe hundreds) of thousands of people saw planes smack into buildings in real-time, you might as well concede that you pulled that out of your arse. And really, you know, that kind of thing is pretty deplorable — you know, just making up shit. So, you really owe me, and not just me, but the participants of this forum generally an apology for that. And just generally, an apology for all the times you just made up shit… and you would need to resolve not to do that anymore.

    Also, personal things, like digging up who my grandfather was, while remaining anonymous yourself… you’d have to recognize that this is improper and commit to desisting from that kind of crap.

    So…. what is your position on that then?

    Well, … I would have, if my boss asked me to. Then I would have been completely forthright too (nobody really ever asked me to lie about anything, .. it doesn’t work that way … it is corporate-cultural, and the company I worked for was very conservative and had a reputation for high moral standards). That’s the way it works. In some ways it is like the military. Except the compartmentalization is supposed to be for the reason of guarding against corporate espionage. And you are just supposed to accept that. And then when you rise in the ranks, you find out it is true, that that is why things are not fully explained at lower levels, and so one concludes it goes like that, all the way to the top (which very top guys you do maybe indeed get to meet with once in a blue moon maybe, in a group of as small as 10 others, if you are lucky, …. highly censorious environment though, … because those 10 others are going to be senior to you and they don’t want you to say shit ….. I guess they were asking me to do things above my pay-scale, though). But then, at the same time, everyone at all levels pretty much are supposed to be reaching out all the time to professional associations and such, and even aspire to lead those, to seek out best practices among colleagues at competitive corporations, who are all there to do the same thing. So it is all rather schizophrenic too.

    Don’t we need the expert people (like Dave) who are adamant that the official 9/11 narrative is sufficient to account for all the physical evidence that day…

    Yes, but ultimately a true expert is someone who can demonstrate what they say is possible. Does PhysicistDave have a method for demolishing steel-framed high-rises with fire? No. If a demolition company were to hire PhysicistDave and ask him, “We don’t won’t to demolish this skyscraper with cutter charges, we just want to use fire. Tell us how.” Could he do it? No. Could anyone who purports to believe the official 9/11 story? No. In short, there are no real experts in demolishing skyscrapers with fire.

    …how is it that Building 7 collapsed in the same observed fashion, as the twin towers, despite a completely different structural design…

    This is not entirely correct. The “collapse” of World Trade Tower 7 was different from WTC1 and WTC2. For WTC1 and WTC2 the planes impacted near the top of the towers. The first plane hit WTC1 between floors 93 and 97 with most of the damage occurring on floors 94, 95 and 96. Remember both towers were both 110 stories. When we say that WTC1, and WTC2 “collapsed” this is just an imprecise way of talking. Even according to the official explanation from NIST and Bazant WTC1, 2 did not collapse. The buildings were crushed. People understand that collapsing and crushing are two distinct physical phenomena. The official explanation is that the 12 floors above the impact zone (floor 98) crushed the lower 98 floors in a pile-driver like effect (crush-down). Then once the upper block crushed the lower block it experienced a crush-up when it impacted the rubble pile. If you want to chop down a tree you don’t climb 90 percent of the height of the tree then take a few swings of your axe and then expect the tree to turn to sawdust top down.

    WTC7 was a more conventional demolition where the column support was blown out at the base of the building, somewhere below floor 16, and the building just collapsed. But obviously WTC1,2 were just blown-up with the demolition charges starting at the top of the towers then going down through the building. So when people describe the collapse of WTC1, 2 that is really just the demolition wave traveling down the building.

    That weird coincidental stuff like that happens all the time, and sometimes a usual office tower fire, can bring down and collapse a tall building, despite the best efforts of the building code people and the structural engineering design community.

    I don’t believe this is the case. Even NIST admitted: “The collapse of WTC 7 is the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires.”

    WTC7 was imploded.

    maybe somebody in the 9/11-truther debunker community has already offered something around this?

    NIST had to commit scientific fraud to get their “fire” explanation to work in their computer model. Fortunately. there has been an engineering analysis done by Dr. Leroy Hulsey et al at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The conclusion was that fires did not cause WTC7 to collapse.

    I think Israel took care to avoid being directly implicated. But how much hand-holding did they do?

    The competing scientific hypotheses must first agree with the already known facts of science.

    The nonsense promulgated by the 911 Truthers most assuredly does not.

    Therefore, their “hypotheses” do not count as scientific hypotheses.

    So you are arguing that explosives can’t be used to bring down buildings? That’s an interesting thing for a physicist to argue against. If so, you might want to report this Wikipedia article for promoting 9/11 Truther nonsense.

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

    In the controlled demolition industry, building implosion is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate surroundings.”

    I have gone into detail about my education, my professional achievements, etc. and backed up much of that with links to the Web.

    I have run into countless people who think JFK was killed as a result of a conspiracy and people are not afraid to say so. As far as I can tell, that is the majority view. I myself sometimes say “when they killed JFK,” and I never get an objection, though in fact I merely think that a conspiracy is a possibility. Maybe Oswald was a lone gunman: I don’t know.

    If so many people in the real world are willing to tell me freely that they think the JFK killing was a conspiracy, why have I not run into a single person — not one single one! — who is a 911 Truther?

    What is the evidence that Murray was a Holocaust denialist? He did of course think that people should be free to speak as they wished, as I do also (you’ll note that I have not even suggested that you censor Truth Vigilante for lying about me “falsifying data”), simply because Murray was a libertarian. Beyond that… you have any evidence?

    Ron also wrote:

    Consider your own situation. You’d said you were very reluctant to provide the names of those pro-Israel physicists at Stanford who torpedoed your academic career more than 40 years ago because you were concerned about possible retaliation. Wouldn’t prominent public people be vastly more fearful of being labeled “conspiracy theorists” if they divulged their true views on the 9/11 attacks?

    I avoided giving personal names to avoid a lawsuit: after they die, I will publicly name them.

    But I was not afraid to describe what happened.

    And I was not talking about public figures in the case of 9/11. I was talking about random people I talk with, who would have no fear at all of telling me they believed in a 9/11 conspiracy if they had such a belief. As I’ve said, members of the clergy I have known have admitted to me that they were lying in the pulpit: they were taking an actual risk that I might reveal their names publicly — they could have lost their positions. Similarly, I have of course known people who complain privately about “the Jews,” “the Blacks,” etc., and they might be in trouble if I were to post their names publicly.

    But 9/11? Nobody cares.

    I suspect you have gotten some negative feedback for hosting Holocaust denialists, which certainly is a real issue. Has anyone in the real world tried to cancel you for hosting 9/11 Truthers?

    Nobody cares.

    We all just sneer at them. When we hear about them at all, which is not often in the real world.

    9/11 is not an issue that is a subject of public discussion, that normal people hold intense views on, etc. I stumbled upon this discussion here when you asked my opinion about that con artist Gaffney: I was rather surprised that there are people so excited, and so deluded, about all this.

    And, yes, I know that with some googling, I could no doubt find other online discussion of this nonsense. But that is the point: you’d have to search for it. I just have not run across it spontaneously.

    As I keep saying, my interest in all this is simply my interest in the nature of human psychopathology: I have know isolated nutjobs many times in the past, but never as dense a collection as here. This is priceless!

    There are over eight billion people on this planet and over three hundred million Americans. Out of those eight billion, there may be more than a million who truly enjoy eating bugs — which would still be way under one in a thousand.

    Sure, there are certainly more 911 Truthers than the few thousand nutjobs in AE911Truth: perhaps ten or twenty times as many, as I think you suggested.

    That would still be less than one in a thousand Americans.

    Rare birds indeed.

    If you think otherwise Ron, you are deluding yourself.

    And they are dying off: again, I ask are there any 911 Truthers here under thirty?

    Crazy old geezers whose mental faculties are departing.

    The 911 Truthers are serving the interest of the Deep State: the 9/11 attacks were in fact blowback against the disastrous US policy in the Mideast. For people to recognize that fact goes against the interests of the Deep State.

    But if 9/11 was merely a horrific conspiracy planned by Cheney and Bush or whatever, then it gives no reason to change our Mideast policy. We just need to nail the guilty parties and put them in jail and then continue with our Mideast policy as before.

    I don’t know if the 911 Truther movement was indeed created as a Black Op by the US Deep State, though that is certainly a real possibility.

    But, for all practical purposes, that is indeed functionally what the 911 Truther movement is: 911 Truthers are very effectively serving the interests of the US Deep State.

    @tanabear

    Thanks for the info. I will read your link when I get a chance (soon). I sort of answered some of my questions of my comment #312, …. myself, in comment #325. So what I discovered in reading the NIST link I provided in comment #325, was that NIST was indicating in this report I linked, that building 7 fell because of unaddressed thermal expansion issues, related to anchoring/connections of structural members, that this NIST report claims has been an ongoing under-design, by the structural engineering community, for long-span floor systems. This is what I said about it in commetn #325:

    Mmmm. I was in the downtown office tower & commercial real estate biz until 2012. I didn’t hear boo about recommendations to retrofit older buildings for better anchoring/joining of structural members to deal with this unaddressed thermal expansion issue this NIST report claims has been under-designed, by the structural engineering community, for long-span floor systems. I was dealing with a whole host of structural engineers and architects all the time (parking-garage-rebar-oxidation-caused-structural-failure, and management of the mitigation for that, was one of the tasks I was assigned, .. and we had plenty of parking garages, …. and anchoring/joining of structural and cladding members was always an engineering focus, and well studied, at my sites, … and I managed office tower curtain wall retrofit projects, as well [plus a whole lot of other duties too]).

    Maybe these NIST recommendations changed the industry, and retrofits occurred all over the west, since 2012 (after I was out of the biz)? Maybe? I didn’t hear anything like that in the news, though. Does anybody know?

    Anyways, ….. reading your comment, I realize I should be more careful, …. a demolition collapse of a tall building , of course, does not necessarily progress at free fall, during portions of the collapse sequence. I suppose one could wire it to mimic pret near any type of collapse event. But the usual mode is loads and loads of TNT.

    It is interesting that you might be implying (not sure if you are) that no structural engineer would be able to work out an airplane-impact-formulation that would guarantee the achieved results, total collapses (you say that for building 7 but maybe you do not mean that for building 1 and 2). But it could be true that no structural engineer would be able to work out an airplane-impact-formulation that would guarantee the achieved results, for building 1 and 2 as well. I think the NIST material makes it clear that in the least, there is very little chance the achieved results would accrue without specialized structural engineering knowledge, and all those structural drawing details about the buildings, … but it’s just an implication, and indeed the implication may be more severe than I am imagining now. Back at the time all the structural engineers and architects (and top notch general contractors too) I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to, …. none of them would say one way or the other, ….. but then, I was in no position to pay them to work out an answer (even if, the required drawings and such were widely available by then). The way this works, … the answer to the question is worth millions in engineering-firm compensation and so that is gonna be worked out at the insurance company level, if at all (and there are extremely high-executive-level insider-biz convos involving the structural engineering firms, the commercial real estate firms, and the insurance companies, at that level, I am quite sure … that part is just business as usual)

    I recall Victoria Nuland saying something about ‘surprise’ for the Russians. Here it is:
    https://www.barrons.com/news/us-diplomat-says-russia-should-expect-surprises-on-battlefield-39f5567e

    Nuland, who is acting deputy secretary of state, visited the Ukrainian capital as fresh US aid to the war-torn country hung in the air, with Republic lawmakers growing reluctant to keep supporting Kyiv.

    “I leave Kyiv tonight more encouraged about the unity and the result, about 2024 and its absolute strategic importance for Ukraine,” Nuland said.

    “I also leave more confident that, as Ukraine strengthens its defences, Mr. (Vladimir) Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield and that Ukraine will make some very strong success,” she added.

    This can mean anything or nothing.

    However it’s strange, following so many Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil we suddenly have ISIS thrown into the mix. Smells funny.

    More about the Moscow attack, I put on my tinfoil hat:
    Poor Israel is struggling in it’s war against the Hamas terrorists and facing harsh criticism internationally for the slaughter of Palestinians. It’s as if the world has forgotten just how bad Islamic terror really is and refuses to understand Israel’s dilemma. Thankfully ISIS now reminds the world just how bad that stuff can be and grabs the headlines around the globe with this massive attack on Moscow. That’s unfortunate for Moscow but perhaps convenient for Israel and the U.S. as well!?

    Russia has ‘failed’ Israel by not supporting it’s warfare in Gaza so perhaps they deserved this. The U.S. obviously has problems on both fronts, Ukraine and Israel/Gaza. Judging by how the U.S. does foreign policy of late few thing can be ruled out as to crazy. The Biden administration may think this is somehow beneficial.

    But this is just the tinfoil hat trying to figure out cui bono. Israel would never do such a thing, or the CIA for that matter. No state actor would do such a thing, so I guess it must be ISIS.

    Who is (really) responsible for the massive terror attack in Moscow?
    ISIS is claiming responsibility. Why would they attack Russia (now)?
    The U.S. claims to have warned the Russians some time ago. That’s strange, how did they know?

    I was just watching Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern, both ex-CIA, on Napolitano’s program, and they seemed sure that Ukraine did it, with some American knowledge and possible involvement. The argument Johnson made seemed persuasive.

    Apparently, a couple of weeks ago the US issued a special warning, urging Americans to stay away from Moscow. He said that sort of warning would only be issued if we had specific, actionable intelligence knowledge of a looming terrorist attack or something like that. So the US almost certainly knew that an attack was about to take place.

    Furthermore, immediately after the attack—before anything was solidly known about the weapons, attackers, or anything else—America declared that Ukraine had definitely not been responsible. According to Johnson, that almost certainly means that we knew that Ukraine was indeed responsible.

    The Russians then sharply criticized America. Johnson says they wouldn’t have done that if we’d actually warned them and provided any intelligence we had, so we almost certainly didn’t.

    Apparently, Johnson had spent many years at the CIA involved in exactly these sorts of issues, so I tend to trust his judgment on these matters. It’s near the beginning of the segment:

    And that is why I am sure you are wrong about public views of 911.

    I have run into countless people who think JFK was killed as a result of a conspiracy and people are not afraid to say so.

    Well, JFK was over sixty years ago and everyone involved has been dead for decades, so it’s obviously less “radioactive” than 9/11.

    But can you name any prominent current figures who have publicly said that JFK died in a conspiracy?

    When Tucker Carlson said that on his show a year or two ago, RFK Jr. declared it was the most courageous American newscast in sixty years. And although Carlson was the most popular figure on Cable, he was suddenly fired a few months later.

    That elite establishment friend of mine has been 100% certain that JFK died in a conspiracy for over thirty years and he’s never dared say a word. He was shocked by Sachs’ bravery. He’s also a hard-core 9/11 Truther, though almost no one is aware of that.

    Meanwhile, the really touchy issue is that very strong evidence that Mossad was behind the JFK assassination. As I’d mentioned upthread, several years ago a very prominent American public figure—whose name would be internationally known—came to Palo Alto to have dinner with me and said he’d concluded that Mossad had killed JFK. But he’d certainly never say that publicly in a million years.

    What is the evidence that Murray was a Holocaust denialist?

    After Rothbard died, I remembered a friend of his said how he’d always gone around privately ridiculing the Holocaust as “the hoax of the twentieth century.” When I Googled around a little, I found someone confirming that Rothbard had privately been a Holocaust Denier, so I mentioned it in my long 2018 article.

    However, after it ran, a different Rothbard friend contacted me and said that although Rothbard hadn’t been sure about the Holocaust and was strongly opposed to the laws criminalizing it, he hadn’t actually been an outright Holocaust Denier. So that left me uncertain.

    But then a few months ago, someone pointed me to a long academic journal article on the history of Holocaust Denial, in which the author had gone through the archives and reviewed the private correspondence of many prominent figures. Based upon that, he seemed to confirm that Rothbard had indeed been a Holocaust Denier. So I tend to think he probably was.

    Don’t forget that the whole Holocaust Denial movement mostly began among libertarians and as far as I can tell, most of the leading libertarians of the 1970s were at least strongly sympathetic to it. For example, REASON magazine published an entire issue filled with leading Holocaust Deniers, and it was warmly praised by many of the subscribers. That was the surprising starting point of my big 2018 article.

    “But if 9/11 was merely a horrific conspiracy planned by Cheney and Bush or whatever, then it gives no reason to change our Mideast policy. We just need to nail the guilty parties and put them in jail and then continue with our Mideast policy as before.”

    Ron has continually implicated Mossad, 9/11-wise. If that, it gives the U.S. every reason to change Mideast policy. And there is the rub (another one, … sure are alot of these rubs), … if you feature yourself as so super-rational then, why do you purposely (unless you don’t do in on purpose, … then God help you, then) pretend the issue you are discussing, is different than it really is?

    “The 911 Truthers are serving the interest of the Deep State: the 9/11 attacks were in fact blowback against the disastrous US policy in the Mideast. For people to recognize that fact goes against the interests of the Deep State.”

    Then why did the disastrous US policy in the Mideast go into overdrive since 9/11? Somebody is not recognizing something (about what Deep State said they wanted, and then went and got in the wake of 9/11) and that somebody is you. Very very strange, that. Methinks you got incentives (I understand if you do, I used to work for the technocracy too, … but low-level work, keeping the lights on type thing, and the money churning – oh … the most important thing of all in the business world… keeping that money churning. But then you should tell us so, and then also shut-up, then, if you are professionally compromised by incentives).

    Just for the record, on all these various conspiracy theories, and what people in the west generally think of them (at least in Western Canada, say), … its like this:

    – JFK
    – the sky-is-falling-climate-change
    – 9/11
    – BLM/white privilege
    – covid origins
    – covid-vaxx
    – aliens

    , … you will get proponents of any of these (seeing through the official version of the narratives, … except for the last one there, …..there is no official version, …. but wow, …. alot of people are absolutely sure that, in the least, there are aliens that we haven’t met yet), as such questioning the official narrative, … which maybe renders one a conspiracy theorist by some definitions, …. you will get proponents of any of these variously, without any real pattern, of which persons may believe there are problems with which ones. I would say, if you talk to any one person in North America, chances are they will be proponents of questioning at least one of those mentioned official narratives.

    It doesn’t work like that for these topics though:

    – holocaust
    – JQ

    And, as well not for this one either, until recently, when Bibi blew it up:

    – Israel behaves like a Cluster-B psycho-cunt

    For Jewish stuff, … in the main, … people just do not want to talk about it. Faces turn red. Faces turn white. The Pavlovian conditioning is (was?) strong. Maybe that is changing with this Gazan conflict? Yes, … it partly already has, I think (but there exists a substantial and maturing background Muslim opinion in Canada and western Canada, it should be noted, … maybe that is a difference that makes a difference vs. the U.S.).

    And if you try to describe ‘globalism’ (without talking about the oversized ethnic overlay element), …. people mainly don’t get it (not emotional, so much as just perplexed).

    Mmmmm… the American hegemonic brute now quite openly complicit in acts of civilian terror within the heart of Russia? People outside the western sphere are primed to believe it too, given the American hegemonic brute is complicit in acts of civilian terrorism inside Gaza.

    It just keeps going the wrong way with nothing on the horizon that looks like it is a way out of this mess (Trump isn’t that, it seems).

    It looks to me that the faux-west corporatist globalists have concluded that, it is absolutely necessary, in order to continue to prevail, our side must get control of the oil in the Russian territories to bolster our control of the Saudi and gulf oil, to ensure loyalty to currency schemes of our side, whatever that may morph into. They conclude that, because that assessment appears to be correct. It appears that they are willing to provoke hot war over this, … now (well ‘now’ geopolitical time, .. which I think means between now and the American election). Since that is nuts (Putin says nukes are meant to be used), … well, …. our side is playing Dr. Strangelove, … and that is damn occultish and esoteric-like.

    I get the sense that western currency is generally over valued 2x vis-a-vis non-western currencies, in terms of purchasing power parity and such. Are we to risk nuke brinkmanship, to protect that western racket, is what this amounts to, …. no? What the heck is Colonel MacGregor talking about when he says repudiate the debt.

    I tend to just accept not knowing more than you and others do — but this doesn’t quite fit. ISIS seems to be primarily a regional player. When it ventures outside, it’s into countries with large, unsupervised Muslim communities. I’m skeptical this describes Russia these days.

    It may be like my theory about 9/11: Islamic fanatics being played. After all, ISIS does have some strange ties. Beyond that? Whoever played whatever part probably covered their tracks. Maybe we’ll never know.

    The story may be that we’ll choose to believe it was ISIS — but Russia will know perfectly well it was Ukraine and go apeshit somehow, thus staving off peace and giving Biden a talking point for his reelection. He can be heroically fighting the big bad bear.

    It’s a shame that you’ve adopted this position. It’s clear that you’re still seething after being made to look foolish by the torrent of evidence I’d previously posted in other UR 9/11 threads.

    Meanwhile, in relation to this comment of yours:

    I do recall that you were claiming that tens of thousands (or was it hundreds of thousands?) of people saw the planes hit the buildings directly in real-time. (i.e. not on the TeeVee.)
    I challenged you to name some of them …..

    I responded with videos like the one below (watch the few mins from 1:00 – 6:00):

    As you can see, EVERY MAN AND HIS DOG that had a vantage point in NYC, was staring at the burning Nth tower in the minutes after it had been struck, and were thus in a position to see the second drone aircraft impact with the South tower a few minutes later.

    That video above is interesting also because, from time to time it pans away from the burning North tower and shows people on the rooftops of other buildings and at street level, and ALL OF THEM ARE LASER FOCUSED ON THE BURNING NORTH TOWER, and all of them would’ve seen the second plane impact with the other tower.

    Seeing as you were still not satisfied with that, I posted this video (watch from 2:00 – 5:30):

    Yes, that video above was filmed by a Kevin Westley, so there’s a real name for you. But at the end of the day, what difference does it make whether I supplied you with one name or a thousand names?
    Because we can see from these two locations alone that there were HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STARING AT THE BURNING NORTH TOWER and they all saw the second plane impact with the other tower.

    SUMMARY: It is CLEAR that there were countless other locations in NYC where people had an unimpeded view of the WTC towers and they too saw the second plane impact.

    There would have been thousands of individuals people in their high rise apartments, that had a window view that faced the WTC towers, that would have been staring out from their apartment window and also seen the second plane impact – not to mention the tens of thousands of office workers, who were on the side of their respective buildings that faced the WTC complex, who were also looking out and thus also saw the second plane strike.

    Yes, Mark Walsh (aka Harley guy), was a plant and was handed a script to corroborate the bogus explanation for how the WTC towers collapsed. No one is disputing that – I have acknowledged that numerous times in previous posts (but you conveniently got selective amnesia).

    But the other people in those two videos were REAL PEOPLE watching a REAL PLANE IMPACT with WTC2.
    It’s sad that you’ve left me with no choice but to embarrass you once again Mr Revulsky, I would prefer not to have done it, and instead focused on exposing Fizzy-cyst Dovid for the ADL operative that he is.

    It looks quite odd after 9-11, but it is clear that back then the Islamist baddie was not taken seriously (yet) in Washington, London or perhaps even Tel Aviv.

    The Islamic jihadis were not taken seriously, either then or now, for one very OBVIOUS reason.

    ie: They DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO ORCHESTRATE SUCH AN ELABORATE AND NO EXPENSE SPARED OPERATION like the 9/11 False Flag.

    But one entity with scores of trillions of financial wherewithal did. The same entity that controlled the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the U.S government, that had access to the entire inventory of weaponry and technology of the Anglo Zionist empire.

    So Mr Wee [little] Gus, quit with the B.S and smears of the Muslims. I recall that you’re a fixture of the ‘Enclave of Imbecility’ (aka the Steve Sailer threads), and as such you’re a noted apologist for ZOG malfeasance.

    If so many people in the real world are willing to tell me freely that they think the JFK killing was a conspiracy, why have I not run into a single person — not one single one! — who is a 911 Truther?

    I can’t imagine there would be too many people in the congregation of the synagogue you attend or the Judeo-Masonic lodge you’re a life member of, that would ever consider uttering a word in opposition to the official ZOG scripted narrative of how 9/11 allegedly played out.

    Meanwhile UR readers, how many of you believe Fizzy-cyst Dovid’s tall tale about:

    ‘… members of the clergy I have known have admitted to me that they were lying in the pulpit’?

    I mean, to expect anyone of us to believe that a SINGLE clergyman would share said info with a malevolent Jew like Dovid Miller, is far fetched indeed.
    But not content with that, Dovid Miller says there were ‘several’.

    Dovid Miller also says 9/11 Truthers represent perhaps 1 in a 1000 Americans and that he’s never met a single one of them.
    Now, Dovid Miller is an obvious apologist for ZOG’s crimes and a tool of the establishment. Knowing that, would anyone in his inner circle dare to approach Dovid and share their beliefs on 9/11, knowing there was every likelihood that Dovid would report them to his ADL supervisor (in the same manner that he snitched on behalf of the Covid tyrants and reported people for not wearing face masks during the scamdemic)?

    Anyway, let’s see what a trusted source of information (LewRockwell.com) has to say about what percentage of Americans have at least some scepticism about the official ZOG scripted 9/11 narrative, in this article titled ‘A Majority of Americans Do Not Believe the Official 9/11 Story’ authored by none other than the beacon of integrity Paul Craig Roberts:

    When Tucker Carlson said that on his show a year or two ago, RFK Jr. declared it was the most courageous American newscast in sixty years.

    Well, you just answered your own question — didn’t you? — Tucker and Bobby Jr.

    As I have said, I am friendly with a woman who was an assistant film editor on Oliver Stone’s JFK movie. As you know, Stone thinks LBJ did it. She and I have discussed this, and please note that she was immersed in this, since she worked on the movie. She and I agree that LBJ was probably too canny to have taken that risk. There are so many mutually contradictory theories — so many plausible suspects (the Mafia, Castro, LBJ. Mossad, the CIA, and, yes, Lee Harvey Oswald) — that it is not reasonable to say “I know what happened to JFK.”

    But what I was talking about was ordinary people, not public figures: both opinion polls and my personal experience show that a large fraction of ordinary people think that there was indeed a JFK conspiracy. And my point was that, although numerous people have been happy to volunteer that to me, no one in the real world has made a similar comment to me about 9/11.

    And, no, this is not because I am known to be a critic of 9/11 Truthers: as I have said, I did not have much interest in the matter until last summer when you raised it with me.

    I was simply making the point that 911 Trutherism seems to be largely a malady of old men and women in their dotage in venues like this rather than being widespread among the population.

    What I am objecting to in all the conspiracy theories — aside from the obviously blatant lies such as from Truth Vigilante and the obvious claims to have violated the laws of physics (the nukes in the basements, the planes as holograms, etc. — is very, very speculative and rather implausible hypotheses being presented as known facts.

    Take, for example, your example of the supposed terrorist passport being found on the street.

    Weird, I agree. But as I keep saying, weird things happen in weird situations, which 911 certainly was an unusual situation! Colin’s example of the straw driven through a tree trunk by a tornado is on target.

    You don’t know, I don’t know, no one knows, at the time when the plane hit the building and basically exploded/disintegrated, if the passport could have been blown out onto the street. Or perhaps this is an issue of mistaken identity. Or perhaps the whole story is bogus.

    You seem to have a very specific theory, which, yes, is indeed logically possible:

    Actually, there’s no evidence that the hijacker passport was found on the street. Instead, from what I vaguely remember some “Good Samaritan” supposedly walked up to a police officer and handed him the passport, claiming that he’d found it lying on the street.

    That obviously greatly helped the police and the MSM quickly pin the blame on Bin Laden.

    I take it you are suggesting that the “found” passport was really a plant to cast blame on Islamic jihadists.

    Could be.

    Or not.

    My point is that this is not evidence.

    It is just wild speculation.

    Which is my point.

    You just don’t know.

    Murray was not shy — in the slightest! — about publicly taking wildly unpopular positions.

    Murray was also a careful scholar. And the evidence presented by the Holocaust denialists is, at best, murky. By the way, the best evidence that the denialists themsleves can claim to have is that the evidence for the conventional narrative about the Holocaust is also rather fragmentary. It is implausible to me that Murray had a firm position on this in the absence of evidence. That would be unscholarly.

    Which fits with what you said — some people thought he supported Holocaust denial, probably because he did indeed defend the right of people to pursue such research, as do I.

    And some people do not think he believed in Holocaust denial.

    Given Murray’s standards of scholarship, what I know of him personally, and, crucially, the fact that an outspoken contrarian like Murray never commented publicly on the matter, no, he was probably not a Holocaust denialist.

    But, again, you just don’t know.

Therefore, it’s extremely difficult for you to admit that they’re probably correct on the big 9/11 issue, even if they happen to be entirely wrong on many of the individual elements.

    It is not the personal accusations that have me angry it is the incessant and unrepentant lying.

    I hate liars, deeply and profoundly.

    I have always believed that every single pathological liar on the planet should go out and buy a bottle of sleeping pills and then do the right thing.

    I am not so much angry for personal reasons that Truth Vigilante claims that I engaged in “falsifying data”: this just happens to be a very straightforward case in which it is very, very easy to prove that he is quite intentionally lying, since he makes absolutely no pretense of having any evidence for that claim and indeed could not have such evidence.

    And what is absolutely damning is that when I raise this issue, the other 911 Truthers attack me for pointing out that Truth Vigilante libeled me, but cannot bring themselves to criticize him.

    This is truly stereotypical cult behavior. This is absolutely precious. This is why I am here: to gather evidence like this for my research on human psychopathology.

    These people are deeply evil, pathologically lying, psychotic cultists.

    You said in the passage I just quoted: “Therefore, it’s extremely difficult for you to admit that they’re probably correct on the big 9/11 issue, even if they happen to be entirely wrong on many of the individual elements.” If a witness lies on one matter of substance, the jury is justified in believing he is lying on everything.

    But beyond that, there just is no “big 9/11 issue” aside from all of “the individual elements.”

    If reindeer can’t really fly, if Santa could not really get to all the children in America on one Christmas Eve, if the toys Santa brings are obviously manufactured in China and not at the North Pole (it says so on the box!)… if all “the individual elements” concerning Santa are false, then the Big Issue is that Santa is not real.

    I ma hammering this into the ground because I am having trouble seeing why this is not obvious to you.

    The 911 Truthers’ claims hinge on those “individual elements,” and, as you said, “they happen to be entirely wrong on many of the individual elements.”

    QED.

    You also wrote above:

    There really are something like 100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story, and each of us is free to focus on whichever we’d like since they all point in exactly the same direction. Even just 4-5 of them are probably enough.

    Then why don’t you do as I suggested and give us the 600-word “elevator spiel” for the best three of those elements, as I showed could be done for General Relativity?

    The experience of those of us who are skeptical of the 911 Truthers is that we are told, again and again and again, that there is absolute ironclad proof of one crack-pot theory after another — the planes as holograms, the nukes in the basement, the no-planes theory, etc.

    But when we ask for evidence, we are subjected to an extraordinary barrage of verbal abuse and vitriol.

    The only actual “evidence” we ever get is along the lines of “I just can’t believe that ________ (fill in the blank).” Where what the poster just can’t believe is something that involves physical phenomena of which he has absolutely zero knowledge or understanding.

    Like the passport. You just don’t know if it is possible for the passport to have been ejected from the plane as a result of the collision. Seems quite plausible to me, but I don’t really know, either.

    And, since no one knows or can know, it is just not evidence.

    This is what we keep running into with the 911 Truthers: “Well, how do you explain _______ (fill in the blank).” Where even if we accept as true what is filled into the blank (and more often than not, it turns out not to be true), it does not point to the conclusion they want to draw.

    Their connection between the supposed “evidence” and their conclusion is always just a wild chain of improbably speculation.

    That is not evidence.

    You say there are “100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story.” I don’t think so — my observation is that whenever someone makes a claim like that, they do not really have any solid evidence at all. No one, after all, can check out 100 pieces of evidence carefully! It’s a dodge.

    As Einstein supposedly said when the Germans published Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein, if they had been right, one would have sufficed.

    In fact, once we check out a few pieces of those supposed hundred pieces of “evidence,” and find they are based on lies or fantasies or just do not imply the wild speculations the 911 Truthers draw from them, we skeptics just shrug and move on to some more productive activity.

    Like watching grass grow.

    And then, of course, the Truthers say that this proves we just gave up and refused to look at all the evidence and are just hypocrites who actually know the truth and are really agents of ZOG and indeed members of the Illuminati.

    All of which are accusations that actually have been hurled at me personally: I’m a big boy — I don’t care about those accusations. Just between you and me, I rather get a kick out of them! But they show the utter bankruptcy of the 911 Truther case. (Of course, I actually am an Illuminatus!)

    This is typical cult behavior.

    Google the “Book of Abraham” and then look for the official Mormon/LDS response.

    Just like 911 Truthers.

    Prove me wrong: again, give us the 600-word “elevator spiel” of the three solid pieces of evidence for the 911 Truthers, evidence that you are willing to stand by so firmly that if we skeptics can show that any one of those claims is shaky, then you will concede that the entire 911 Truther movement is just bullshit, plain and simple.

    I have done that for General Relativity: physicists in general, and Einstein in particular, recognized early on that if even a single one of the three classic tests for General Relativity did not pan out, then General Relativity was dead, kaput, a stake through its heart.

    So, again, give us the 600-word “elevator spiel” as I did for General Relativity that you are willing to see the whole 911 Truther case live or die by. And none of this “Well, I just can’t believe ______” nonsense or “Well, it might be that a possibly conceivable explanation for this is ______”

    I claim that nonsense like that, and outright lies, of course, are all the 911 Truthers have.

    A major development in this case unfolded in September of 2004, when Gerald Shea, an international corporate lawyer, submitted a detailed memorandum to the 9/11 Commission Report titled, “Israeli Surveillance of the Future Hijackers and the FBI Suspects in the September 11 Attacks and Their Failure to Give Us Adequate Warning: The Need for a Public Inquiry,” thoroughly detailing the activities of the Israeli spy rings operating in the United States prior to and on 9/11, including the fact that these spy rings were surveilling the alleged “Muslim hijackers” on 9/11.

    A piece of straw can penetrate all the way through a palm tree if propelled by hurricane-force winds.

    BUSTED
    Propelling a piece of straw at a palm tree at a distance of 50cm at 320mph (the world record for recorded wind speed at ground level), the straw only managed to penetrate the tree a quarter of an inch. Even firing at the tree while it was bent (to increase the size of the pores in the surface of the tree) at point blank range added no additional distance into the tree. A piece of reed was tested as the sturdiest organic object that might be mistaken for a piece of straw. At both ranges, the reed only managed to go about two inches into the tree….

    Here are four major reasons you might find a damaged tree trunk:
    Animals. Gnawing and chewing from gophers, rabbits, and even deer can lead to severe tree bark damage.
    Storms. High winds and other extreme weather conditions will often leave cracked or damaged bark and split trunks…
    Diseases. Various diseases can adversely affect a tree by causing cracks, rot, and lesions in the trunk tissue.
    Insect infestations….

    Crown Twist
    The tree canopy contains an array of leaves, twigs and branches that make up the crown portion of the tree…..
    The result of this situation in high winds can be trouble. Uneven wind loading on the lopsided crown produces a damaging twist on major branches and the stem. This twisting causes torsional stress, much like twisting a rope backwards, resulting in splits and cracking…Close investigation is necessary to spot these often-subtle cracks…

    The mendacious psychopath offers an hypothesis:

    The straw blade entered through a fissure/crack in the trunk, which previously existed; or, the crack/fissure was made during the bending or twisting of the tree due to wind velocity. The straw blade, in and of itself, did not breach the bark/wood. Mystery Solved.

    LOL. Sure, ALMOST SIXTY YEARS LATER! By that standard, we might start to see a couple of important people publicly discussing 9/11 Truth around 2060 or so!

    As I have said, I am friendly with a woman who was an assistant film editor on Oliver Stone’s JFK movie. As you know, Stone thinks LBJ did it.

    Sure, there’s absolutely overwhelming evidence that LBJ was involved. But Stone never even hinted at that in his film and I’ve never seen him mention it anywhere, even though he might privately discuss it with his friends. LBJ died more than FIFTY YEARS AGO, but Stone is still apparently too fearful to include him in his movie or in his public statements.

    Take, for example, your example of the supposed terrorist passport being found on the street.

    Weird, I agree. But as I keep saying, weird things happen in weird situations…I take it you are suggesting that the “found” passport was really a plant to cast blame on Islamic jihadists.

    Could be.

    Or not.

    Look, the undamaged, recovered passport is part of the Official Story, and I’d say that the odds of it actually happening are something like a trillion trillion trillion to one, and any rational individual would agree with me.

    By itself, it proves that the Official Story is false, and there are at least a hundred or so other powerful pieces of evidence in the same category.

    There really are something like 100 extremely implausible or absurd elements in the 9/11 story, and each of us is free to focus on whichever we’d like since they all point in exactly the same direction. Even just 4-5 of them are probably enough.

    Then why don’t you do as I suggested and give us the 600-word “elevator spiel” for the best three of those elements, as I showed could be done for General Relativity?

    I already did. The undamaged passport. The academic chemists who found strong traces of military-grade explosives in the WTC debris. The 150+ emergency workers who heard a series of explosions just before the building collapsed. The collapse of WTC 7 despite not being hit by any plane. The 3000+ professional architects and engineers who say the official story is impossible. The high-ranking former CIA official who said the same thing. The international demolitions expert who was shown a film of the WTC 7 collapse and said it was really a first-rate controlled-demolitions job, and who was mysteriously killed in a one-car collision just a couple of days after Iranian TV broadcast his statement.

    Murray was also a careful scholar. And the evidence presented by the Holocaust denialists is, at best, murky.

    Well, there was supposedly lots of Rothbard’s private correspondence from the late 1960s and 1970s with leading Holocaust Deniers, encouraging their efforts and strategizing about how they could best succeed in getting their message out and overturning the existing narrative. Rothbard was a very influential figure at REASON magazine when it published an entire issue filled with articles by the leading Holocaust Deniers. That last discovery was what originally prompted my big 2018 Holocaust Denial article:

    https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-holocaust-denial/

    I really think the evidence regarding Rothbard seems pretty strong.

    I claim that nonsense like that, and outright lies, of course, are all the 911 Truthers have.

    You’ve obviously spent more than 22 years absolutely convinced that there was no strong evidence against the official 9/11 story, and it’s naturally difficult to admit it had been out there the whole time. Exactly the same thing happened to me about a dozen years ago, though I didn’t have the handicap of being in a bitter online feud with agitated 9/11 Truthers.

    Once you have a little time to digest all this new information and if you read one or two of my articles, I think you’ll eventually see that I’m correct.

    there are lots and lots of anomalies and inconsistencies vis-a-vis 9/11, and a lot of them are rife with controversy, but the one we ALL agree on, is Building 7

    I don’t know of one person who advocates for (or against) nukes or DEW or holograms or CGI, who doesn’t agree that Building 7 was a controlled demolition.

    We all agree on that. It is glaringly obvious, which is why they didn’t even mention it in the 9/11 Commission Report. Because unlike all the other pet theories, (some true, some not), Building 7 is indisputable. Which is why, (I’m convinced) that Stanford is too cowardly to even ‘go there’.

    Are you nuts? Your main qualm with the ‘911 Truther morons’ is that they make constant claims about the impossibility of a gravity-driven collapse? No. That is a simpleton’s interpretation of what ‘911 Truther morons’ tend to say, …and you are not a simpleton, Dave.

    Of course, what the so-called ‘911 Truther morons’ actually tend to say, is that it is physically possible that, just by going by the videotape evidence, the cascade of physical events that ultimately resulted in the collapse of the 3 towers that day, may have been eventuated by many many different potential physical scenarios, … and then that leads directly into the quagmire of arguments of physical evidence/or lack thereof/or ‘why wasn’t it studied more’ … blah, blah, blah, ….. for physical evidence downstream of the gross videotape evidence. And so, many interested parties (like Ron Unz himself) see that quagmire, look for other routes, and see that there is just so much further circumstantial evidentiary bread crumbs that lead one to speculate very very strongly that it is probable that the physical evidence isn’t what is seems. And then you have taken the stance that all this further circumstantial evidentiary bread crumbs is not better that hearsay, which a whole bunch of, can be expected on a day like 9/11. And here we are. You are currently arguing for the strong likelihood that the 19 jihadists acted alone. I disagree. In fact it is the opposite. To my mind (and many many here), there exists a very strong likelihood that there was a ‘masterminding’ of all this, with much deeper resources than apparent among what the narrow jihadists may have cooked up on their own (if the 19 jihadists even figured in the way the official narrative says … there are other possibilities here, as well).

    I have concluded it very unlikely that the actual results achieved (collapse of 3 buildings) accrued by happenstance (jihadists got lucky that the physical parameters were all, just right). You seem to disagree with that. Even so, … many will chime in here, that for many other reasons beyond what I see as a primary reason, … (the need for a team of structural engineers to make determinations as to airplane-impact-formulation parameters, is what I see as the primary reason that the building collapses didn’t accrue, by the kind of happenstance that you are featuring), …. for example, … can we expect that these jihadists, with such short training, could pull off hitting the target, more-or-less precisely accurately, to eventuate the cascade of physical damage that ultimately led to the collapses? I don’t think you have a winning hand on this front, Dave, is what I am saying (there is more to give one pause, than even what I summarily indicated).

    > After the 9/11 Attacks, the FBI searched long and hard all across America and especially throughout the NYC region and never managed to find a single Bin Laden operative anywhere

    Obviously, the main body of any hypothetical Islamic group would have been the 19 hijackers who were now dead. That doesn’t rule out a hypothetical scenario where someone is left behind to drop off a passport as a calling card. As you’ve acknowledged yourself elsewhere, terrorist groups traditionally have an incentive to let it be known that they carried out an attack. Leaving behind some Korans and such is perfectly consistent with an attack carried out by Islamic terrorists.

    Not that I see any reason to strongly believe in that scenario. It’s more likely that the passport just flew out of the plane and was picked up by some average passerby who turned it over to the police. The case of the worms who survived the Columbia shuttle crash is a perfect example of objects can somehow surprisingly survive a major disaster. There’s no reason to think that a passport couldn’t have gotten through the crash and made it onto the street below.

    > they did quickly round up something like 200 Mossad agents

    It’s been shown multiple times over that the FBI, CIA, Mossad all had pieces of intelligence which in theory might have been able to stop the attacks if it had been more fully followed up. But it’s meaningless to try to make a statistical argument based upon manpower counts over who would or would not have been likely to carry out such an act of handing a passport over to the police, assuming that it was not just a casual passerby. For such a hypothetical act, all that is needed is one person, not 200.

    It’s actually unlikely that the Mossad would have such done such an act. Going up to a detective and handing over a passport which one claims to have found in the street always entails some chance that you may be held for questioning. A casual citizen who accidentally found the passport could be willing to do this. Or possibly someone from a group which wanted its involvement to be known would do such. That might involve an Islamic sympathizer. But it could be risky for a Mossad agent to actually hand over such a passport to a detective if they were not ready to be interrogated.

    Israel is actually pretty clumsy. Witness the ‘dancing Israelis.’ Witness that clown who got arrested trying to play provocateur in Cairo during the Arab Spring. Witness that assassination in a Gulf state where they were all videotaped. Witness the Liberty. Witness how their bombings in Egypt and Iraq came to light. Look at how seemingly every single allegation they’ve made about October 7th and subsequent events has been exposed as a clumsy attempt to use photos from other places, etc.

    Zzz. They do stupid shit all the time. In fact, them planting that passport as they did strikes me as perfectly consistent.

    It’s all designed to reassure those who need to believe — not to convince a critical observer. It’s like the trains taking Jews to be ‘resettled in the East’ with the boxcar of agricultural implements hitched on at the back. The trains would come back — and the agricultural implements would still be there. The fraud is aimed at those who prefer to be deceived.

    So sure they would plant a passport. And it would never occur to them to be subtle about how it was delivered. ‘It was the Arabs. See? Here’s a passport.’

    Of course it all could have happened as claimed. The passport just survived the impact intact and fell on top of all the other debris. But the Israelis planting it in such an obvious fashion would also be in character. In fact, given that we already know the Israelis were involved to some extent, it seems to me to be a more likely explanation.

I hope to God my fears have been misplaced, and this is a sign that Biden, finally, now must kick Bibi’s ass out of there, …. and the Americans go in and take over Gaza right now (with UN assets watching), with absolute restriction on any Israeli control of any operations of any kind there, … leading finally to this American hegemonic ultimatum: ‘Give up all your rogue nukes now and forevermore, or we are gonna go and get them ourselves, … Texas stand-off style. Otherwise Big Tex gonna squish you like a bug’. After that, …. transmogrify the sorry situation into Islamist control of the region now known as Israel (a one-state solution), modeled on western democracy, …. with some stakeholder agency for that region to be provided to Palestinians that moved to neighboring nations, as refugees, guaranteeing a Palestinian majority in the new nation.

    Then, most likely, the American hegemonic brute gets to keep the petro-dollar scheme, for at least a few years to come, then. Isn’t this the best deal for all the parties at hand (except one?). So what is going to happen?

    I think Israeli interests double-crossed the House of Saud as per the 9/11 event (this quite likely, to my mind), and then things have changed in the last 20 odd years, …… and now perhaps payback is coming (this part, so bizarre, still very unlikely, to my mind). Let’s see. There is only a very slight chance, as to this speculation, being worthy. But even though it is so bizarre, … such narrative sure would explain alot of otherwise strange geopolitical behavior, over the past 20 odd years, and such.

    Look, the undamaged, recovered passport is part of the Official Story, and I’d say that the odds of it actually happening are something like a trillion trillion trillion to one, and any rational individual would agree with me.

    I think the odds of the undamaged passport being recovered were close to zero, but the odds would not be negligible if other items from passengers were recovered in the area around the Towers. Some of the posters on this Reddit thread claim the 9/11 museum contains items from passengers of the planes:

    TIL Four of the 9/11 hijackers passports survived the attack. Two were recovered from the wreckage of flight 93, one was recovered in luggage that had missed a connecting flight, and the fourth was recovered on the floor outside the WTC prior to the towers’ collapse.
    byu/ZealousidealLuck6303 intodayilearned

    Someone provided a link to a picture of the undamaged passport. It is really hard to believe it was actually recovered in that condition after falling a thousand feet from a burning plane. I assume that any items from other passengers of the planes that were recovered were at least singed.

    Those Reddit posters appeared to not understand why the hijackers’ having Saudi passports would have justified the invasion of Afghanistan. The recovery of those passports burnished the official story that Muslims who were members of Al Qaeda did 9/11, which justified the invasion of Afghanistan in order to get bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda. From there, other regimes, like Iraq’s, could be connected to 9/11 & Al Qaeda by the dishonest media and Bush people.

    But what I was talking about was ordinary people, not public figures: both opinion polls and my personal experience show that a large fraction of ordinary people think that there was indeed a JFK conspiracy. And my point was that, although numerous people have been happy to volunteer that to me, no one in the real world has made a similar comment to me about 9/11.

    Yes, ordinary people are much more likely to say there was a JFK conspiracy than 9/11. The most obvious reason for this is that in the years after JFK was assassinated the mainstream media openly discussed the possibility. In 1967 CBS had a four-hour examination of the Warren Report on four successive nights. It was hosted by Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in America. The titles of the shows included, “Was There a Conspiracy?” and “Why Doesn’t America Believe the Warren Report?”

    The series was an enormous success, reaching more than 55 million U.S. homes, with an average rating for the four nights of 17.8, and more than 21 million people were estimated to have watched each night of the first two nights. The first and second nights had an average of 18.4 ratings and 39 shares.
    https://danratherjournalist.org/investigative-journalist/early-reporting-cbs/cbs-news-inquiry-warren-report

    The Oliver Stone movie, JFK ,also added fuel to the conspiracy fire. So many Americans were simply aware of the controversies surrounding the JFK assassination because it was frequently talked about in the media and in Hollywood.

    Now let’s compare this to 9/11. Name one prominent media outlet that covered the 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST reports in the same way that CBS covered the Warren Report in 1967? There aren’t any. The first comprehensive critique the 9/11 Commission Report received was from the book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions, by David Ray Griffin. It probably sold a few thousand copies, a far cry from the tens of millions that watched the CBS broadcast on the Warren Report.

    Think of it this way. 9/11 was one of the most cataclysmic events in American history. It was a day where everybody remembered where they were and what they were doing. Also on this day you had the collapse of World Trade Tower 7. This was one of most mysterious and unusual structural failures in engineering history. Yet, almost no one knows about this building.

    More than eight years after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, New York Supreme Court Justice Edward H. Lehner was hearing arguments in a courtroom less than a mile from Ground Zero about a ballot initiative to launch a new investigation of the 9/11 attacks. When the lawyer for the plaintiffs sponsoring the initiative explained that the 9/11 Commission report left many unanswered questions, including “Why did Building 7 come down,” the Judge replied quizzically, ‘Building what?‘”

    Danny Jowenko was a Dutch demolition expert. He was shown a video of WTC7 collapsing. He had never seen or heard of this building before. When he was told that this occurred on the same day as 9/11 he was incredulous. But he was confident that it was a controlled demolition by a team of experts.

    In 2015 someone from AE911Truth approached Leroy Hulsey about doing an investigation into the collapse of WTC7. But until this meeting he had no idea that a third building collapsed on 9/11. This was almost 15 years after the event.

    The fact that hardly anyone knows about building 7 is a testament to the fact that we live in a country where the flow of information is just as controlled (if not more so) as it was under the old Soviet Union. The news media can’t discuss building 7 in the same way they discussed the JFK assassination because it so obvious that the official story of 9/11 is completely fraudulent.

    …no one in the real world has made a similar comment to me about 9/11.

    Then that is an indication that your social circle is comprised of people who solely consume fake news media.

    I believe that it is Kevin Westley that is doing the ‘My Lord’ narration, and claimed it was 737.

    Well, he was off the mark with the ‘737’ part, but the important take away from that was that the drone that impacted with the South tower did display the United Airlines livery/paint scheme and was easily recognisable as such from the ground.

    Also important to note, the plane may have appeared quite small to us as we viewed the video.
    But, have you been near the airport and seen a plane flying at around 1000 feet altitude as it’s about to land/take off?

    I have (I live in a suburb that’s less than 10 km from Sydney’s international airport), and when I venture to those suburbs near the airport and observe a plane about to land which is at an altitude of around 300 metres or so (around 1000 feet) – like the drone aircraft that crashed into WTC2 was – said plane at low altitude is EFF’N HUUUUGE going overhead as I drive in my car beneath it.

    Mmmm. Maybe that is why my sense, of people sensing issues with 9/11, is more prevalent than it might otherwise be, … because I worked in the real estate biz? Look, … in the real estate biz that whole thing was surreal. Me and my buds were managing day to day operations at a very large downtown commercial real estate portfolio, for years and years already, by the time of 9/11. How can you not be aware of building 7 when you are tasked with management of the studying of structural risk of all kinds (me as jack-of-all-trades project manager as side duties), plus silo-guru (they called me guru, .. I didn’t like that though, because ‘show me the money’, then) as prime duty working both sides of the real estate gig – both the revenue (biz) side, and the operational and capital expenditure side, (ultimately measuring in terms of enhancing asset value) for some extremely good cash-generating business activity outside of the lease-driven activity (parking garages)… but also tasked with interfacing with a specific segments of the market (downtown revenue-rich parking garages, especially if they are distressed, plus undeveloped lands suitable for future development, now dedicated to cash-generating downtown parking), to find interesting deals to 3rd-party manage and then buy (or just buy outright). And then the corporate world is set up in such a way that proprietary information is winnowed (becoming more powerful) as you go up the hierarchy. Everybody knows (that is, if you have risen in the ranks yourself, … then you clearly see it is this way, because the info dynamic is impinging on you from both below and well as from above). There is going to be things your boss knows that he won’t tell you, and he won’t even tell you, that he won’t tell you. And so once you get about 3 levels above your management pecking-order level, …. the level of information that dude has over you, is immense, that way.

    It’s the technocracy. Because the corporate world works pretty much like the military, this way (but to guard against corporate espionage), … except at the very highest levels within the hierarchies, it is easy to see (from the perch I had, anyways) that the atmosphere is more collegial between ‘vendors’ let’s say, ….. horse trading at the very highest level, about all sorts of things, that the rest of the management group is not privy too. I’m not complaining. I found out soon after I signed up for the first management gig (I wasn’t even looking, I had other ideas about my future, … they came to me), … and if I didn’t like it, I could have walked away. I decided that the immense responsibilities they were trusting me with (sink of swim style) was worth the bargain….. for a guy like me, … give me real world datasets mixed in with the mess of life and task me to find out surprising things and make something of it!, …. well, for a dude like me, that part of the gig was just too enticing. And as I went along, I found out it was true about the youthful emerging intuition I had about myself (that I possess massive chops for worthy analysis….. the real world, at that gig, .. solving the many company problems that constantly bubble up, … showed me that time and time again). But my biz-world weakness is that I do not find any pleasure in dominating others (except momentarily, …. or except if it just a funsies-thing).

    Anyways, I did happen to talk to one of those buds, of that prior real estate management gig, yesterday (he is retired and living half-time down in Arizona during the winter), … he was Operations Manager and stayed in that gig about 5 years passed my 2012 check-out time (the ‘check-out’ was a process I managed to get a hold of and manage somewhat myself, if you can believe it, … and that went extremely well for me) and asked him if he heard anything emerge, further to what I commented upon in comments #325 and #447, about the implications of the 2010 NIST report about building 7, upon the industry, …. did that become an industry focus after I left in 2012? He says no, … he didn’t hear boo about that either, in the few year after I left the biz in 2012.

    Stanford claims (ironically) to hate liars, but then purports to give us an ‘explanation’ for how the Twin Towers fell, which is rank dishonesty of the very worst sort.

    What we hate is often the thing that is opposed to what we love.

    I fell in love with science at a young age. When asking the eternal questions, ‘what are we’, (what am I), why are we here? How did we get here?

    These questions have been ruminated over by thoughtful humans since the beginning of time, and all manner of theories and ‘answers’ have been proffered. But it was science that finally answered them.

    In science, humans finally have, at long last, the tool to understand the truth of these matters, and so much more. The reason you can get on a plane and talk to someone on a phone thousands of miles away on a boat somewhere, is all because of science.

    Science = Truth

    And when you profane science, you’re profaning the truth.

    I’ve sort of starting to really despise all these so-called “scientists” haranguing us all, from the vaulted pulpits of their appointments as the ‘court scientists’, and (obscenely) purporting that as such, they are the final word, of “science”.

    Bill Nye (and thousands of other “scientists”) on ‘Climate Justice’

    Fauci (and thousands of other “scientists”) on Covid, et al

    Endless “scientists” telling us there’s no such thing as gender..

    It’s getting so that in popular culture, a ‘scientist’ is little more than another agenda-driven liar, like a ‘journalist’ today, or a politician.

    I suppose it goes back to a long true and tried method of corrupting the science and “scientists”, in order to defile the truth to what ever agenda the man with the money is seeking at any point in time. As Franz Boas was able to do with anthropology, if you simply have enough clout/$. Indeed, his lies set the tone for the destruction of the West, that we’re all watching unfold today.

    And so when I read this Stanford physicist, (as he’s soo fond of reminding us), belligerently hectoring us all that he’s done the calculations, and is gracing us all with his conclusions that the Twin Towers collapsed because when the jet fuel weakened the steel, and the top floors collapsed, then if you just look at his incontestable ciphering – you’ll see that of course the rest of the Towers would have self-pulverized into a fine powder, because it’s all there!, in the genius’ calculations!

    Don’t trouble him with talk of squibs and molten steel pouring out of the Towers, or traces of Thermite in the dust, and untold other anomalies and miracles, because that’s all just the stupid, psychotic craziness of people who don’t understand the “science”!

    This POS has the nads to pooh pooh actual scientists like Steven Jones, (who he’s not fit to lick the boots of.. or, I take that back, he is fit to lick the boots of), because Steven Jones (and Lynn Margulis [RIP] and so many others..), are true scientists, in the mold of the best of the best.

    Interested in the truth, rather than lying about it, to curry favor with the man with the shekels.

    I’m getting really, really disgusted with this type of “scientist”. And for the record, he’s even less of a man, than he is of a scientist.

    At least a man with a shred of character, would treat people like Christians and those who’re sincerely and politely curious about things they’re not sure of, with a modicum of dignity.

    This POS doesn’t even have that much decency.

    He’s as low as they go. A straight-up POS.

    > Isn’t it really awfully strange that so many Mossad agents were thereabouts, and that the FBI saw reason to question them?

    You’re just confused. It’s pretty well known and not seriously disputed that there were Israeli agents in the US at this time who were in some fashion following the prospective hijackers. That is not at issue here. The evidence indicates that the CIA knew about these Israelis but gave them a pass as a way of trying to collect domestic intelligence (which the CIA itself is forbidden to do). The FBI is supposed to be the agency which collects domestic intelligence, and so they arrested the Israelis upon learning of their presence.

    The issues come up in the 911truther-wars are:

    1) Did these Israeli agents who were following the Arabs around really have everything figured down to a T and were they just waiting for the whole thing to come off?

    That’s theoretically possible, but unproven. It was documented by the 911 Commission and such that the FBI and CIA by themselves had enough intelligence between them to stop the whole thing. The failure to do so is normally ascribed to the lack of communication between the 2 agencies. The Mossad may theoretically have had everything figured out, but maybe not. They were clearly onto something, but how far that went is a different matter.

    2) Did the top Israeli brass actually share all of its important data with the CIA, or did they knowingly withhold something which would have stopped the whole thing if it had been communicated in timely fashion to Langley?

    Ditto, theoretically possible, but no deciding evidence exists. What should be emphasized here though is that even if we assume such a willful withholding of intelligence from the CIA by Israeli leadership, the grunts who were in the US would have known nothing about this either way. Intelligence and military command structures operate vertically and do not share plans with low-ranking subordinates.

    Even if Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon had agreed between themselves to gather intelligence about a prospective terror attack while withholding the news from the CIA (which they had contacts with), it’s really silly to suggest that these Israelis over here in the US would have been told about such a decision. As far as they knew, their job was to collect intelligence, communicate it to their superiors, and then let the top Israeli brass decide what to do with it.

    3) Were Israeli agents involved in something more active about 911, such as planting bombs or passports in this or that location?

    All one can say is that if such ever occurred, it would have been done by people separate from the Israelis who were picked up in connection with Urban Moving Systems. Those dudes come across more like Mark Fuhrman than like James Bond. They bring to mind memories of the LAPD during the days of Rodney King and OJ Simpson. While they obviously were tracking the Islamic hijackers, it’s absurd to set them up as people wiring the Towers for demolition. If anyone did wire the Towers for such, the people doing so would have followed a much more surreptitious path than these guys ever did.

    > the statistical argument that you are imagining, [and not Ron imagining], …. indeed turns out not to be meaningless anyways

    It was his false statistical argument to suggest that, if we assume that the fellow who supposedly handed a passport to a detective was an agent of some lurking party, then that person is more likely to have been an Israeli agent than an Islamist. That is meaningless as a statistical argument.

    What if it were in a suitcase? The suitcase comes crashing down and is shattered apart. The items in the suitcase scatter, and a lone passport is found. People are assuming that this hypothetical passport was out in the open at the time of the crash and therefore should been fried to a crisp. But if it was encased in something else originally, then the surviving passport could simply be found by itself later on.

  505. Pretty funny, really. The Forward discusses how Purim festivities this year will be ‘restrained,’ citing safety concerns. There’s another angle, of course. Among other things, Purim celebrates the mass slaughter of gentiles. To quote Wikipedia:

    ‘They decree that Jewish people may preemptively kill those thought to pose a lethal risk. As a result, on 13 Adar, 500 attackers and 10 of Haman’s sons are killed in Shushan. Throughout the empire 75,000 of the Jewish peoples’ enemies are killed.’

    Is Westley the “my lord!” commenter…

    Apparently, Kevin Westley is the full name of “9/11 Kevin” who posted that video of the 9/11 plane crash that was somehow made public over 20 years after the event. (Strange story…)

    Truth Vigilante is using that name as an example of an eyewitness of the plane crash. But really, this is quite ridiculous. The question at hand is whether the video from “9/11 Kevin” (or any other such plane crash video) is authentic or not. (I think not!) So, basically, he wants to use Kevin Westley himself to vouch for the authenticity of Kevin Westley’s video…

    Yeah, whatever. Sure, Herkazani will tell you that the video he shot was genuine. And those French guys, the Naudet brothers, will say as much presumably also.

    This “Truth Vigilante” character keeps claiming that tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of people saw a plane hit a building. (In real time, not on the TeeVee.) When challenged to give us some of the names of these people, it’s “people” like “Old Philosopher” or “unnamed black dude” (some black guy on some video saying he saw this…)

    As I recall, a blogger on 9/11 and other matters, who passed away recently, Allan Weisbecker, said that he looked into this and had come up with the names of 20 people who claim that they saw the plane crash in real time. Apparently every last one of them works for either the government or the media. Not withstanding that coincidence, isn’t it rather odd that the 9/11 criminals would mount this entire operation of planes hitting buildings for real so that 20 people could say they saw something! Meanwhile, any videos that they can get shown on the TeeVee are seen by many hundreds of MILLIONS of people.

    It’s a shame that you’ve adopted this position. It’s clear that you’re still seething after being made to look foolish by the torrent of evidence I’d previously posted in other UR 9/11 threads.

    Well, you’re just lying. The fact is that you have never laid a glove on me in a debate. If you think you have ever scored a debating point against me, then by all means, provide a link. I would be curious to know what you are talking about.

    All I ever see, on your end, is just endless fallacies. Like, this for example:

    As you can see, EVERY MAN AND HIS DOG that had a vantage point in NYC, was staring at the burning Nth tower in the minutes after it had been struck, and were thus in a position to see the second drone aircraft impact with the South tower a few minutes later.

    Well, if, as you say, all these people were in a position to see this in real-time, and were all looking in the right direction at the exact right moment, then they would have seen the plane crash into the building…

    …if a plane had crashed into a building…

    You see, you’re begging the question. That’s when you assume, as a building block in your argument, that which you are trying to demonstrate!

    In fact, the available facts are much more consistent with no plane having hit the building. I mean, quite obviously, you cannot really name anybody who credibly saw the plane hit the building. So you trot out your witnesses like Old Philosopher, unnamed black dude… it’s just ridiculous…

    Yes, that video above was filmed by a Kevin Westley, so there’s a real name for you.

    Uhh, yeah, so the guy who is going to vouch for the authenticity of Kevin’s video is Kevin himself. I guess this is just more of the “torrent of evidence” that makes me look foolish, eh?

    Yes, Mark Walsh (aka Harley guy), was a plant and was handed a script

    Well, if there are all these people who really saw the plane smack into the building, why did they need to plant false witnesses like that?

    But the other people in those two videos were REAL PEOPLE watching a REAL PLANE IMPACT with WTC2.

    So why did they interview the Harley guy, an obviously laughable fake? Why not interview some of the many people who (according to you) really did see it in real-time?

    Anyway, regarding PhysicistDave, I do not actually believe that he is an operative. He’s just a random asshole, a brainwashed ignoramus with an enormous ego. But I don’t think he works for anybody.

    You, on the other hand… I think you are an operative, a professional disinfo agent. I now have no doubt that you work for the criminals. And I don’t think that can be characterized as a “petty grievance”.

    ‘…While they obviously were tracking the Islamic hijackers, it’s absurd to set them up as people wiring the Towers for demolition. If anyone did wire the Towers for such, the people doing so would have followed a much more surreptitious path than these guys ever did…’

    The problem I have with going that far is not — as with Physicist Dave et al — the phyisical evidence to support the theory or lack thereof, but the sheer implausibility of it all.

    If you’re just going to blow the buildings up, why bother with hijackings and actual Arab terrorists at all? Both are horribly unreliable paths, and if anything goes sideways, there you are with all these wired charges and ‘what were you up to, then?’

    It’s an absurdly unnecessary risk. Just plant evidence implicating whoever you please and blow the buildings.

    So — as I keep saying — to me certain parameters are obvious. On the one hand, there really was an authentic al Qaeda plot, with genuine hijacked planes and authentic Saudi Arabian terrorists. On the other hand, Israel was definitely implicated. What’s the precise truth? Could be anything that is consistent with those two sets of facts.

    Thanks for the reply comment. Interesting. You are proffering a triangulation explanation, of your own (CIA/FBI/Mossad) featuring probable fairly innocent (unintentional) info-siloing, among the triad, leaving the way for 19 jihadists to carry on unimpeded.

    But then, why would you ignore the issue of the elite Sauds on the ground (including members of the Binladen Group conglomerate), freaked-out, seeming caught by surprise, and wanting wings to fly away, when no one else could, and Bush 2 helping them in that endeavor? We need to understand that action. Why wouldn’t the FBI round up those assets, when they were allowed to round up the Mossad assets?

    I still don’t think Unz was implying the found passport pointed the finger at Mossad (I think you may be assuming Unz thought that, and maybe he did, but did he say so?), …. but then, well, isn’t the presence of 200 Mossad agents that may possibly be part of a Mossad-led false-flag (we should not believe that they were all there, just to follow the 19 jihadists around, to see what they were up to, just because Israel said so), … which is quite the gathering of foreign spies of one legion, all in one locale like that, …. doesn’t that rather large Mossad presence, actually make it more likely that found passport, if planted, was Mossad-planted?

    Anyway, the main point I think, is that you are ignoring evidence that I think does shed suspicion on Mossad/CIA, … and that is, the FBI had two sets of potential perps (Mossad on the one hand, or elements of the House of Saud on the other hand) and acted completely differently over these two sets of potential perps, … why is that? I am of the firm opinion that if one begins to think of this in too-siloed a manner (like entertain, as it even being remotely likely, that the 19 jihadists acted without a level of expert masterminding above them), … one blinds themselves to obvious possibilities that must be considered.

    On the one hand, there really was an authentic al Qaeda plot, with genuine hijacked planes and authentic Saudi Arabian terrorists.

    If you please.. what’s your proof for that?

    Because they said so?

    Because they found the terrorist’s passport?

    The Osama ‘confession’ was an obvious CIA fake. In truth, Osama denied having anything to do with it. Even the FBI admits it has zero evidence of Osama’s involvement.

    All we have, so many year later as proof, is that they, (the news media and politicians) said so, and the “terrorist’s” passport.

    “Just plant evidence implicating whoever you please and blow the buildings.”

    The thing is, the idea of ‘jihadist hijacked airplanes’, is the implicated evidence (planted or not), in turn implicating a precise group, among a list of ‘whoever you please’, for a precise reason (patsy-ship of this group for the coming fucking over of the Islamic world, that then indeed did occur, with the exception of interests associated with the House of Saud and the other aligned Princedoms).

    The point being, …. if you wanted to make patsies of that precise group, for that stated precise reason, …. how else would you do it, for it to have good legs 20+ year on, which is what you would absolutely want (long legs), for the agenda at hand?, … which agenda is to fuck over the portion of the Islamic world anywhere, that is not a top-down Princedom, (which are all petro-dollar-aligned, … which Princedoms is primarily the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia) with the other portions of the Islamic world that are oil producers with export capacity, tending towards not wanting to be aligned with the petrodollar scheme, …. which Israel it seems, is the key place where some of the faux-west corporatist globalist skim-offs by way of petro-dollar action, of everyone else’s dollar-based international transactions, is stored, and ends up accruing to Israeli interests, for some strange Jewish reasons, that are not easy to fully understand, at this juncture, anyways, … because it looks like that is the last place in the world you would want to store the faux-west corporatist globalist skim-offs, that is, if you would like to enjoy the ongoing current value of that asset, … this conclusion causing someone like me some anxiety that these people (who are scapegoating the non-Princedom Islamic world) are not fools and so are not just marching into an obvious trap, and that then means that then totalitarian scepter will now be shoved down all our throats even deeper, probably by some dastardly elitist behaviors resulting in epic tragedy, even though I hope like hell that the damn will finally break, and we will see something else instead (like the House of Saud finally throwing off the shackles).

    > You are proffering

    It’s not really “my” explanation. It’s a common view derived from the 911 Commission. Of course, one can always postulate that something was willfully allowed to happen. The events of October 7 really reek of that, especially since the attack then was more like a standard military strike which Israel had been warned about through several channels. That really smells of LIHOP.

    > and Bush 2 helping them in that endeavor?

    Did he really? According to the 911 Commission (page 557 & 558):

    —–
    Twenty-two of the 26 people on the Bin Ladin flight were interviewed by the FBI. Many were asked detailed questions. None of the passengers stated that they had any recent contact with Usama Bin Ladin or knew anything about terrorist activity. . .. The FBI checked a variety of databases for information on the Bin Ladin flight passengers and searched the aircraft.
    —–

    The date of their flight was September 20, 9 days after the attack. 911truthers have a tendency to refer to this departure as if it happened a few hours after the attack. That is not correct.

    > actually make it more likely that found passport

    As I said, if we’re going to allow ourselves to speculate, it would make perfectly good sense for an Arab terrorist group to plant some signs just to make sure that it is discovered who was behind the attack. Osama in Afghanistan maintained initially that he was not behind the attack, because the Afghan government would not have been happy if he did it and got caught. But he would surely want US intelligence to figure out that he did it. So, maybe he did it order one other person to remain in New York and plant a passport. It wouldn’t even be necessary to actually go up to a detective. Just walk through the area, casually drop a passport, and let someone else find it and report. Maybe one of Osama’s men did that, or maybe some Mossad agent did it, or maybe the passport really just survived the crash after being in a suitcase which disintegrated after the crash but preserved the passport. Those are all fair possibilities, but no clear evidence favors any one of them.

  514. Chebyshev says:
    @Patrick McNally

    What if it were in a suitcase? The suitcase comes crashing down and is shattered apart. The items in the suitcase scatter, and a lone passport is found. People are assuming that this hypothetical passport was out in the open at the time of the crash and therefore should been fried to a crisp. But if it was encased in something else originally, then the surviving passport could simply be found by itself later on.

    That’s a decent point. Wouldn’t almost all the suitcases on board have been fried, though, along with all their contents? The probability of any one passport (or credit card, or debit card, or dollar bill) surviving the crash in great condition would’ve been extremely low. I’d like to know how many passports or other items from passengers fell from the planes and were found on a sidewalk, totally undamaged. How many such items are on display at the museum? The number would give us an idea of how plausible it is that the undamaged passport would’ve been one of the items recovered.

    Well, this argument is a bit dicey, but this response is for TV, too.

    I don’t know enough about the drones vs. CGI argument to render an informed opinion, but I have seen/heard a bit of both arguments, and frankly, there are valid points on each side.

    But, I will say this – the AP provides copy and video footage to just about every msm network. It’s not unreasonable to suggest they could provide footage of their choosing, and that’s pure speculation, but the AP can control a narrative, especially in great confusion, and there are multiple examples of news anchors parroting the exact same “headlines” in identical verbiage, so it’s not an unfounded accusation or assumption.

    The audio of “My Lord” guy is interesting though. The inflection in his voice is rather superficial and rehearsed; he sounds ridiculous; utterly ridiculous. And, he is clearly laying the groundwork for the official narrative, by alluding to “two planes,” as if he had seen the first, and suggesting they were taken from the airport, identifying 737’s, and proclaiming it was a United passenger plane. I was unaware that the insignia was normally visible from underneath; I watched the footage, and I could not identify it, but obviously things on film often appear different from what we actually see. All things considered, My Lord Guy is suspect. Was he ever interviewed?

    So, I think it’s obvious that the Pentagon and the Shanksville sites were not the result of a crashing plane. What caused the damage? I hear many commercial pilots say passenger jets can’t really be maneuvered in that fashion at such low altitude, so the Towers and Pentagon are certainly suspect, and I’ve never heard of an aircraft, and all people/contents, essentially vaporizing on impact on terrain, as planes crash all the time. Without the benefit of a trial and cross examinations, it’s impossible for regular people to make an informed conclusion. If they can convince everyone that a plane hit the Pentagon, I suppose they can convince us that planes were involved in the Tower explosions, and the power of suggestion is a factor. Again, a cross examination of witnesses would flesh things out a bit, but now it’s too late. I was more in favor of the drone theory, but I honestly don’t know. It does appear that the plane(s) met no resistance whatsoever, and the hot knife/butter analogy is apropos. But, that seems impossible. I don’t recall seeing the building buckle over.

    I do know that they’ve pulled the wool over us all, again. I also think we should help each other figure this out, rather than fight over it, as we all have a common enemy.

I’d like to know how many passports or other items from passengers fell from the planes and were found on a sidewalk, totally undamaged.

    That’s been one of the sticking points.

    In the official version, the two Boeing 767s – AA11 and UA175 – went completely into the Twin Towers, seemingly intact, before they disappeared in there. Apparently nothing broke off or flew out of the two planes.

    And to my knowledge, there are no known suitcases, passengers, or their clothing or effects, nor any verifiable airplane parts that were ejected or broke off the alleged 9/11 jetliners before they made their terrific entry into the Twin Towers while leaving their silhouettes in the facades of the two buildings.

    Other than this passport, of course.

    For a suitcase to have been ejected, one of the cargo holds would have had to have been breached, or torn open, for the suitcase to get out, and indeed the big, but tardy fireballs also would have required the fuel tanks to have been breached so the fuel could spill out and explode. The videos do show fireballs like that, tardy though they were, erupting on the exteriors of the buildings after UA175 had sliced its way mostly inside.

    Well, if the planes were intact as they plunged into the buildings, as the videos seem to show, then nothing was breached, and nothing could fly out, and of course it was a simple matter for the conspirators to outfit their magic airplanes with dual-action magic cargo holds and magic fuel tanks that would burst when needed without affecting the structural strength of the 767 nor inhibit the jetliner’s ability to fly right through steel columns, and they could have it both ways.

    Is it all Hollywood yet?

    Of course, Indiana Jones was able to survive a nuclear detonation by hiding in a Hollywood fridge, so there’s that.

    Further to my first reply comment to you (#524), as well, …. it must be noted that the ‘non-Princedom portion of the Islamic world with oil reserves such that they do/should have oil for export, .. if development and such is not stymied’, is the false-culprit for which the patsy-makers were aiming for, in order to drive a wedge between them and the House of Saud (and similar Princedoms converged on the petro-dollar scheme) …. and so particular care would be needed in forming the false-narrative, with respect to having said false-culprits, make the intended patsies looking bad, but at the same time, with the added requirement, that said false-culprits, may be used to make the House of Saud look very very bad, at any time (because that would be the precise leverage you would be aiming for).

    Look, … suppose this view is correct (and for the life of me, I cannot understand why this would not be the mainstream view, among those with suspicions), … well Bush 2 didn’t just help Saud assets get off the ground, and back safe in the middle east, … he also censored portions the 9/11 report, with those sections since revealing (but still heavily redacted) that Bush 2 covered up this angle (the angle of likely House of Saud peripheral involvements), …. well, of course he would do that, if what I outlined in the paragraph above, is an accurate assessment.

  522. Two common objections that 9/11 truthers have against the no-planes hypothesis are respectively: (1) how they managed to broadcast the CGI-made videos; (2) how they managed to place further fabricated ‘amateur’ videos on the web. I still think these are much less insurmountable obstacles than the ones faced by the hypothesis featuring real planes.
    A third objection against the no-planes hypothesis is how to account for the disappearance of the 4 airplanes (and their passengers) which supposedly were hijacked by the terrorists.
    I cannot answer that question satisfactorily, and that’s why I don’t consider myself an advocate of the no-planes hypothesis, nor in fact of any alternative hypothesis. But it’s worth noting that many advocates of the hypothesis featuring real planes have the same problem because :
    (1) many of them don’t believe a plane hit the Pentagon. Funnily enough, one of the main detractors of the no-planes hypothesis on this site, its editor-in-chief himself, Ron Unz, is among those people:

    The Meyssan book seemed to effectively demolish much of the “official 9/11 story,” especially the absurd claim that a jetliner had hit the Pentagon.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/seeking-9-11-truth-after-twenty-years/?showcomments#comment-4894157

    I also am convinced that the nukes/no-nukes or planes/no-planes, (DEW, holograms, etc..) are a dead end. Too many people are emotionally invested in these narratives, so that it very quickly turns into flame-fests and calumny.

    We all agree it was done to stampede the American people into killing and dying in endless wars for Israel.

    Isn’t that enough?

    People can get into fist fights over the ‘nose’ of the jet protruding out of the other side of the building, until the end of times. People can insist that anything can be faked!, and they are (understandably) self-righteous about it, because we’ve all been lied to so very, very often, about everything of consequence, that we are understandably pissed-off about it. What else have these scumfucks lied to us about?! We all want to know.

    But some of these lines of inquiry are dead ends, and serve the liars, as there’s simply no way the respective camps on these details of that day, (nukes, planes…) are going to yield an inch. (I know this from experience ; )

    And because of that, I counsel that we concentrate on all the things we agree about. As listed above, and more. Like I think we all agree that it wasn’t a commercial passenger jet that crashed into the Pentagon. That no commercial passenger jet crashed at Shanksville. That Osama was not buried at sea in a secret ceremony out of respect for Islam.

    There are enough absurdities in the official narrative, that we don’t need to belabor the other issues to death. Especially when there’s no way in hell there’s ever going to be a consensus on the more controversial issues. So I prefer to stay away from them, and simply concentrate on what we all agree on, which, (I would imagine) is enough.

    Israel did it.

    With the complicity, (USS Liberty-like) of our leaders and institutions, which are today under the thrall of the Zionist regime. Which is obvious, as ZOG, (America’s government) sends endless weapons with which to bomb and starve Gaza’s children.

    If we simply concentrate on what’s obvious, there’s enough there for the outrage of a thousand armies of pissed off people, to set things right, once a critical mass of us understand just how badly our world has been betrayed over to evil, for a few contemptuously tossed shekels at the right people.

    And, not surprisingly, you don’t mention the PRIME reason that the best 9/11 researchers never attach any plausibilty to the ‘No Planes’ hypothesis, and that is this:

    A MINIMUM OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS AND OUT OF STATE VISITORS/TOURISTS saw with their own eyes the second drone aircraft crash into the South Tower (and a good many of them also witnessed the first plane strike into the Nth Tower).

    You can scroll up to my comment # 461 and see two videos that, between them, featured hundreds of New Yorkers/tourists that saw this event play out in REAL TIME.
    The No Planes cultists like Jonathan [Pollard] Revulsky and Brass Cubes will come back with: ‘Why weren’t there hundreds or thousands more of these videos showing a plane strike in real time’?

    And of course one has to remember that this was the year 2001. Those with better knowledge of mobile telephony would likely be aware that Nokia corporation (and perhaps a few others), did have a mobile phone out on that market that could take videos at that time.
    It was crude, had a far more limited pixel resolution and could only take the briefest duration videos.
    Most importantly, very few people in 2001 had such a phone.

    Therefore, to the extent that videos were taken in real time, it was taken by those that had a camcorder handy in those few minutes between the first plane strike and the second one (most New Yorkers who were going about their daily business that day weren’t carrying around a camcorder).
    But some were – like those below:

    And, seeing as Jon Revulsky keeps asking for names of those who witnessed the plane strikes, here they are:

    Boris Miller, Chris Hopewell, Clifton Cloud, Evan Fairbanks, Jennifer Spell, Naka Nathaniel, Pavel Hlava, Scott Myers, Susan Cook etc.

    Why would the last statement follow? In fact, it has always been reported that:

    I was merely trying to play along and define a plausible, or at least conceivable scenario that might have gotten Satam al Suqami’s passport and its marvelous protective suitcase safely to the ground, so the latter could pop open, and the former could be found in the vicinity of Vessey St. by “a passerby” who could hand it to a NYPD detective, who must have been wearing his badge, or something, thereby proving that those reputed Arab hijackers really were present at the scene of the crime carrying their passports, because, you know, there was absolutely no other way for the passerby to have acquired Satam al Suqami’s passport, which by the way, had been doctored –

    ♫ Dum de Dum Dum ♪ – wait for it –

    … in a fraudulent manner in ways that have been associated with al Qaeda.

    … according to senior council to the 9/11 Commission Ms. Susan Ginsburg.

    Whew! Now does that take your breath away, or what, with those al Qaeda associations and all?

    [rapidly increasing tempo burst of orchestral percussion]

    To hone my point as the drums fade out, I find it more plausible that suitcases would be ejected at the outset, upon first impact, in any case of a jetliner with passengers & luggage flying into some relatively immovable object, like a 500,000 ton building, rather than after completing its improbable impossible penetration and transit of the entire structure, including the massive central core, to emerge like Indiana Jones in his Hollywood fridge on the other side.

    I say, if any airliner really had flown into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, upon first impact the 767 would have begun breaking up, and there would have been a large shower of luggage, seats, bodies, and airplane parts sloughing off the facades of those buildings, and raining down on anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Of course, there is no record of anything like that happening. It seems nobody was struck on the head by a falling seat or suitcase or shredded airplane part after the alleged crashes. Presumably, there were no passersby just then, or getting back to reality for just a tick, there was no rain of debris, suitcases and body parts because there were no collisions of 767s with the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

    Luckily, I suppose, the passerby who found Satam al Suqami’s passport happened along after AA 11’s supposed crash into WTC 1, but before it collapsed, according to testimony from Susan Ginsburg given to the 9/11 (Keane) Commission on Jan. 26, 2004.

    https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/archive/hearing7/9-11Commission_Hearing_2004-01-26.htm

    Indeed, it’s conceivable that the force of the impact of a 767 flying into one of those skyscrapers at around 500 mph would have sheared off any number of the bolts holding the exterior box columns together, and thereby could have knocked a number of these sections loose and/or dislodged them entirely, at least in theory, so that a few may have fallen to the ground, and/or a few may have been mangled and pushed into the structure where the heavier, stronger parts of the airplane might have struck the box columns.

    Of course, we haven’t seen anything like that at all in any of the 9/11videos. Not a single one shows a realistic rendering of a jetliner flying into a massive skyscraper at 500 mph.

    But to think the hypothetical protective suitcase fell to the ground and popped open after it somehow had passed completely through the skyscraper and its massive central core – cutting through or pushing aside all that stood in its way – is a tale too tall and far-fetched for all but the most gullible and credulous, as is the idea that the landing gear could have flown right through the building and emerged on the other side without scorching or even shredding the rubber on the tire!

    That’s some wheels, alright.

    I think it critical, especially with this new ‘inning’ of faux-west coporatist globalist action as playing out now in Gaza (as seemingly led by the 25% Jewish component of its membership), … that we do everything we can, to discover the precise motivations. Right now. There is not much more time to untangle this (that is, if we hope to do something about it, before that dynamic becomes too fixed, by way of us accepting further cryptic covert subjugation, … leading to a new ‘reality’ that may be very hard to undo and for which it looks to not bode well for the average human being). We need to skip ahead now, to the actual task at hand (force discussion, especially within Jewish circles, about why Jewdom continues to behave this way ….. history seems to be filled with evidence to show this is not a new phenomenon).

    The way to sort this out is to discover the precise extremely narrow motivations for Israeli involvement in 9/11 (perhaps it is just the obvious, what has always been staring us in the face evidence-wise, which is what I outlined in comment #525 above) so that we know how that impacts upon current Israeli narrow motivations, ….which all together, should be enough to provide us with the engram of Jewish psychological features (which is going to overlap with some Caucasian goy psychological features, obviously, …. ‘Christianity’ itself is enough to see that what I just said there, is true), informing Jewish motivational structures (i.e. – it’s a psycho-analysis, in the end, that is needed here).

    All this lying behavior belying extremely extremely high levels of duplicity and untrustworthiness, …. it needs to stop, and so we need to sort it out, now, …. the Jews need to start talking about this precise issue, without beating around the bush or hiding behind more lies, among themselves. Ditto for all this Institutional Christianity plaguing us. These two sets of necessary cultural discussions are intimately related, too.

  530. Colin Wright’s #346 & #514 (and my replies #360 & #521) have demolished the truthers-for-planes narrative.

    The only thing Colin Wrong demolished with his comments on the 9/11 False Flag are what little credibility he once may have had.
    Remember, this is the same Colin Wrong that still thinks that Al Qaeda/OBL masterminded 9/11, when the reality is that both parties had NO INPUT whatsoever in it.
    You and Colin Wrong are among the most ignorant individuals I’ve ever crossed paths with in relation to this Mossad orchestrated crime – you really have done no objective research on this issue (ie: utilising the output of individuals known to have integrity).

    UR readers, take note of the following remark from Brass Cubes (which is very revealing):

    It’s also interesting that people who support the official narrative …

    Well, let’s use the official (Warren Commission) narrative on the JFK coup d’etat by way of example. It states that:

    1) JFK was assassinated on Friday 22nd Nov. 1963
    2) Governor John Connally was also shot
    3) They were in Dealey Plaza
    4) They were in Dallas
    5) The President was riding in a Lincoln Continental limousine
    6) JFK and Governor Connally were taken to Parkland Hospital
    7) JFK was pronounced dead around 1pm Dallas time
    8) Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman.

    Well, you know what Mr Cubes, the Warren Commission was right on 7 out of 8 (among those eight points listed).
    They only got the part about Oswald wrong – seeing as he fired no rifle that day, nor did he kill Officer Tippit).

    But according to you, anyone that agrees to the ‘Official version’ on ANY POINT, must be in cahoots with the perpetrators.
    According to you:

    JFK must have been riding in Cadillac, that he was in Houston (or perhaps not even in Texas?), he wasn’t shot on a Friday (but more likely a Monday), that Governor Connally was not riding in the same car with JFK, but it was more likely to be Governor Gavin Newsom (even though he was born in 1967*).

    (*But that’s OK, because the alleged year of JFK’s death is probably wrong anyway – seeing as it’s part of the ‘official narrative’).

    Mr Brass Cubes, you are an ABSOLUTE CLOWN.

    With every post you make on this topic, you embarrass yourself that much more.
    So, just to recap:

    The official 9/11 Commission Report account of 9/11, presided over by that traitor Philip Zelikow, got a hell of lot wrong (eg: they falsely alleged that Muslims/OBL carried out/planned this False Flag, that the WTC towers pancaked in a fire induced gravity collapse, that AA77 impacted with the Pentagon, that AA11 and UA 175 impacted with the WTC towers, that Building 7 collapsed after some short duration isolated and not very intense fires on a few floors, caused the structure to collapse).

    That got all that wrong. But REAL planes did impact with the WTC towers – it’s just that they were not the alleged AA11 and UA175 commercial aircraft with real passengers and crew, that the official narrative claims.
    The WTC towers were impacted by REMOTELY FLOWN DRONE 767’s that had no one on board.

    Cube Man, all of the above has been repeated over and over in the last few years in multiple 9/11 related UR threads.
    But, you’ve either been absent in those threads or, if you’ve been like Jonathan Revulsky (ie: willfully uneducatable), you just ignored the evidence.
    Because you’re a member of the ‘No Planes Cult’ and cannot be reasoned with.

    And now, we need to untangle the precise motivations (precise enough so that we can understand the strategy/tactics dynamic being employed), for these actions that Israel is definitely implicated in. That way, we will know what to do about it.

    we know the precise motivations, Wild Man

    the motivation was to create sufficient outrage so as to stampede the American people into endless wars for Israel

    as to ‘what to do about it’, is to educate, enlighten and/or edify the (particularly American) people so that we stop fighting endless wars for Israel.

    Trump just gently chided Israel on its genocidal slaughter-fest in Gaza. Not because he has any moral qualms about it, but because the optics – globally and domestically- are not ‘good for Israel’.

    But the fact that he said something less-than-gushing about Israel, (especially during a presidential campaign!) is monumental.

    The U.S. didn’t veto the Security Counsel resolution demanding a humanitarian cease-fire, so the worm is turning. This is all due to people finding out the truth, and reacting to it. ZOG does not control the narrative 100%, or there’d be no dissent to the wars and genocide. So that means there is hope, if a critical mass of people begin to understand what is and has been going on.

    A MINIMUM OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS AND OUT OF STATE VISITORS/TOURISTS saw with their own eyes the second drone aircraft crash into the South Tower (and a good many of them also witnessed the first plane strike into the Nth Tower).

    You have no way on earth to know how many people may have been looking at the Twin Towers when those landmark skyscrapers exploded, and I don’t care how many capital letters you use.

    If that many people really were looking at the time, and really saw airplanes crashing into the WTC, there’d be hundreds of dramatic, breathtaking accounts in the public record, books, magazine articles, TV specials and the whole MSM shebang, but the public record is pretty quiet on that front, because, you know, y’all have YouTube videos!

    In any event, the very first eyewitness interviewed on 9/11 saw no plane, just an explosion. When questioned by a reporter if the building had been hit by something, or if it was inside…

    RYAN: Was it hit by something, or was it something inside.

    UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was inside.

    RYAN: It was inside.

    It was something inside, i.e. a bomb, or explosives.

    That eyewitness sure didn’t see any airplane, nor did the next eyewitness interviewed by CNN’s Carol Lin. Jeanne Yurman just saw the top of the WTC explode, and thought it was strange when she heard some people were talking about a plane.

    LIN: Jeanne, you are saying you didn’t see anything initially. You didn’t see a plane approach the building?

    YURMAN: I had no idea it was a plane. I just saw the entire top part of the World Trade Center explode. So I turned on the TV when I heard they said it was a plane. It was really strange.

    Strange indeed, but CNN had video, you know, and its own eyewitness, who seems to have gotten promoted from Producer to CNN’s Vice-president of Finance even as he was giving his eyewitness account of the “large passenger jet” that flew past his location, but others saw a small prop plane…

    [DR. J. ATLASBERG (ph)] I’m actually uptown at 86th and Riverside. I can see the World Trade Center from about half the building up to the top. And about five minutes ago, as I was watching the smoke, a small plane — I did — it looked like a propeller plane, came in from the west. And about 20 or 25 stories below the top of the center, disappeared for a second, and then explode behind a water tower, so I couldn’t tell whether it hit the building or not. But it was very visible, that a plane had come in at a low altitude and appeared to crash into the World Trade Center.

    […]

    [HARRIS] …I must say that we have an eyewitness who said it was a large plane that crashed first. And then as we were watching the live picture here in the studio, we saw a plane crash into the — crash into the other tower of the World Trade Center. And again, let’s to be sure, there it is. There it is, the plane went right through the other tower of the World Trade Center.

    For the moment, I think the official & the no-planes versions are viable alternatives; I don’t know enough physics or civil engineering to lean one way or the other. But the alternative version with planes just doesn’t make the grade, in my opinion. It’ just too much for me to swallow, for the reasons Colin Wright outlined, and at least one other reason outlined by Jonathan Revusky (#511):

    (…) isn’t it rather odd that the 9/11 criminals would mount this entire operation of planes hitting buildings for real so that 20 people could say they saw something! Meanwhile, any videos that they can get shown on the TeeVee are seen by many hundreds of MILLIONS of people.

    > Satam al Suqami’s passport, which by the way, had been doctored –

    Which could have multiple meanings. Naturally, a conspiracy-enthusiast may wish to use this as a basis for maintaining that Suqami was not really on the plane and the passport was just being planted by a Mossad agent. But alternatively, if we accept for a moment that there were real hijackers on the planes and that Suqami was one of them, then it’s not unusual for a hijacker to have forged a passport. But without more data, it’s impossible to know what this statement by Susan Ginsburg really implies.

    > if any airliner really had flown into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, upon first impact the 767 would have begun breaking up, and there would have been a large shower of luggage, seats, bodies, and airplane parts sloughing off the facades of those buildings, and raining down on anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    This is one of those statements which is very difficult to honestly test either way. It’s very easy to imagine a crash going according to your script. But we have so few instances of planes being deliberately rammed into giant skyscrapers as part of a terrorist attack. With the study of ordinary car-crashes, there’s a big enough volume of annual data that someone make a complicated statistical model of all possible outcomes. With something like this, there’s very little certainty in a one-time event.

    We would need better information about the location. The plane flying into the building has a “going in” side and a “coming out” side. To see the plane, the witness must be on the first side, where they would presumably seem some type of object (it might be hard to identify at a fast speed) going into the building. If they were on the other side, then it makes perfect sense that they would only see an explosion erupting outward, with no idea that anything had gone in. In that case, the relevant question would be if they had heard anything. A plane on the other side of the building should still make some noise. The witness would then probably hear the sound, without seeing anything until the plane began exploding out of the building.

    How could the tower essentially “absorb” the aircraft? If the drone fired some sort of weapon to open a space, wouldn’t that have been visible, ergo the need to alter the footage?

    This video of comments by a former air crash investigator regarding movie scene crashes, with comparisons and information on the actual crashes depicted, is interesting, and his comments on flammable jet fuel are at 5:37. A cursory search found no commentary from investigator Moss on 911.

    yes there is

    in the first place, the former is impossible.

    the ‘terrorists’ couldn’t even fly a Cessna, let alone getting NORAD and the entire national security apparatus to all stand down, as hijacked jets are flown all over the place for about an hour, utterly unmolested.

    that would be impossible, except in unicorn land, where all concepts of logic and reason are all turned on their heads.

    Whereas in the latter case, when you have the White House and Pentagon and CIA and FBI, including an unlimited budget, (over two trillion missing from the Pentagon alone), [check out Dov Zakheim – comptroller of the Pentagon], all working hand in hand with the Mossad, and in control of the media in absolute terms..

    then the second scenario is perfectly rational, especially if you understand how the Mossad works, and the well-established Zionist tactic of using false flag attacks to get others to do their fighting and dying. [see USS Liberty]

    They even laid it all out in the PNAC Project for the New American Century.

    But of course the most glaringly impossible thing for the ‘terrorists’ to do, would be to have wired Building 7 for its controlled demolition.

    It’s because we have that smoking gun, that makes all the talk of the official version beyond idiotic.

    At least for anyone who’s seen and comprehended just what Building 7 means.

    It means 9/11 was an inside job.

    That’s why I was conservative and said a minimum of tens of thousands. The true figure is likely in the high hundreds of thousands.
    And that is a fair extrapolation to make just from the videos I posted earlier on. In those videos we saw that everyone was laser focused and staring at the burning Nth tower in the minutes after it was struck, and thus would’ve seen the second plane impact with the Sth tower.

    We’re fortunate enough to have a regular UR contributor here who was among those that saw the second plane strike (ie: Old Philosopher).
    Now, if OP was someone that had just dropped in to make a brief cameo appearance, left a few comments and then disappeared, never to be heard from again, we should be wary of his motives.
    But I’ve personally followed OP over many hundreds of comments in countless UR threads these last few years, and this fellow is honest to a fault.

    Not because he always agrees with me – many times we had opposing beliefs. And that caused me to reflect on my position, because this bloke is exceedingly knowledgeable and well researched.
    I’ve urged the ‘No Planes Cultists’ to scroll through OP’s commentary archives and see for themselves, that this fellow is not beholden to anyone, that he is constantly exposing the criminal acts of the ruling elite, that he is someone with a conscience.
    But the No Planes Cultists are TOO LAZY to pursue that avenue, because they’re afraid that they’ll confirm what I’ve said.

    Secondly, Sparkie brings out the tired old handful of witnesses that saw no plane, only an explosion. (He’s done this over and over in previous UR threads and has been slapped down each time).
    So, let me humiliate him once more:
    No one disagrees that there weren’t countless thousands of New Yorkers that were situated on street level in those canyons between tall skyscrapers, that had their view of the incoming 767 drone OBSCURED, yet had an unimpeded view of the OTHER SIDE OF THE SOUTH TOWER, and were thus able to see a fireball erupt from the side of WTC2 they were viewing.

    And, surprise surprise, Sparkie has located several such individuals. We could all locate hundreds more if we wished.
    Why do you bother Sparkie? (No doubt he’ll bring up the same point in the next 9/11 thread, and the one thereafter, thinking that this time he’ll break the case wide open).
    Sparkie, is it any wonder that you’re somewhat of a laughing stock in the 9/11 threads? Not quite on the level of Jonathan [Pollard] Revulsky, but that was always an insurmountable level of stupidity to surpass.

    Sparkie also writes:

    If that many people really were looking at the time, and really saw airplanes crashing into the WTC, there’d be hundreds of dramatic, breathtaking accounts in the public record, books, magazine articles …..

    UR readers, just think about what Sparkie has written here. OK then, let’s assume the New York Times published an account of what numerous New Yorkers saw that day. It would go something like this:

    New Yorker # 1: I heard this cacophony of jet engines (seeing as a low flying jet aircraft flying balls out at full throttle produces one of the loudest decibel outputs known to man). Then I turned around and this plane slams into the Sth tower.

    New Yorker # 2: I was watching the burning Nth tower, and saw some jumpers. Then, alerted by the sound of jet engines, I turn around and see this plane with United Airlines livery, slam into WTC2.

    New Yorker # 3: I was on the Staten island Ferry and had an uninterrupted view of both WTC towers when …..

    OK, you get my drift. Hardly riveting reading, seeing as they’re all just minor variations of the SAME EFF’N thing.
    That said, if there was some celebrity or media identity amongst those that saw the whole thing, the media would be more likely to publish what they had to say. Not that it would be any different – but they’d get more clicks in their videos or sell more newspapers because the dumbed down proles would like to hear what Media Identity X said about such and such event.

    Now, I was watching someone being interviewed about the events of 9/11, who I recall being a financial commentator in CNBC Business (or Fox Business?) or some such.
    He was not Brad Pitt with worldwide face recognition but many would’ve known him. (The guy was probably in his forties/balding dark hair/with a comb over).
    He was on camera and his suit/hair was covered in that fine dust that covered Lower Manhattan that day.
    No doubt there were other such individuals with a public profile, that were also interviewed that I (or you) are not aware of.

    SUMMARY: Sparkie, I suggest you think things through before making ludicrous assertions like ‘there should have been hundreds or thousands of articles/videos’ etc, outlining witness reactions among those that saw the second plane strike.
    No doubt there would’ve been some – can you say you read every article in every broadsheet newspaper in the U.S that day or perused a critical threshold of the videos from all the TV stations across the U.S that featured witnesses to the second plane impact?

    No doubt there may have been a handful, but beyond that, what would have been the point?

    Do you think it’s possible that drones hit the Towers (which I believe is likely), and some of the videos that aired were doctored or overlaid with CGI imagery?

    It seems that this is indeed the case.

    The NPN’s (No Planes Nutters) claim that the Michael Hezerkhani video is TOTALLY fake.
    They claim that it is obviously fake because, when the video is slowed down, there is a section where the plane wing tip disappears, then reappears just before impact with WTC2.
    Also, said ‘impact’ with WTC2 appears to be cartoonish, in that the plane appears to melt into the facade of the building like butter, and disappear whole.

    Meanwhile, I believe that Hererkhani made a REAL video, in the same way that Abraham Zapruder made a real film of JFK’s head blowing up.
    BUT, just like the Zapruder film that WE saw was tampered with, so too was the Hezerkhani film.
    My understanding is that Hererkhani sold the exclusive rights of his film to CNN for a tidy sum, and that part of the deal was that he STFU and make no public comments about it.

    Now UR readers, CNN wouldn’t tamper with the film (or pass it on to ZOG central for ‘editing’ before airing it), would they now? You decide.

    We would need better information about the location.

    In her interview by CNN’s Carol Lin, Jeanne Yurman said

    I live in Battery Park City, right next to the twin towers

    That location probably wouldn’t have given her a view of the north face of WTC 1, but it could have given her a good view of any plane flying toward the WTC approaching across lower Manhattan if she had been looking in that direction. She heard a sonic boom and her TV went out, and that had provoked her to look out the window, when she saw the “entire top part of the World Trade Center explode.”

    It seems if a plane had been there, Jeanne Yurman would have seen it

    The first witness on CNN said the explosion was “inside” the building, so presumably she had a view of the north face of WTC 1 when it exploded as she denied that there had been any plane. “It was inside.”

    Neither of the first two eyewitnesses at the WTC interviewed by CNN saw a plane. Spin, spin, spin all you want, but no plane means no plane.

    However, CNN did see a jetliner fly right through WTC 2 on their video.

    And again, let’s to be sure, there it is. There it is, the plane went right through the other tower of the World Trade Center.

    So, without anymore song & dance from you, please answer this question:

    Do you really think a 767 could have flown “right through” the World Trade Center?

    To address some other queries of yours, starting with this remark:

    How could the tower essentially “absorb” the aircraft? If the drone fired some sort of weapon to open a space, wouldn’t that have been visible, ergo the need to alter the footage?

    I had a very nice comment the other week, which I’d expended some considerable effort in preparing, that Ron Unz trashed because it was ‘off comment’. It relates to why a fast moving 767 (travelling at near to that of a speeding bullet) – in the case of the drone that impacted with the South tower – could easily penetrate the facade of that building.
    Hopefully this comment of mine is not also trashed.

    In 1945, looking to land in dense fog, a B-25 Mitchell Bomber impacted with the Empire State building. The photo below shows the huge hole it punched in that building:

    The near entirety of the plane wedged itself INSIDE the building (refer to the debris below the level where the observers are standing in that photo).
    The ONLY significant piece of the plane that fell to street level was some small section of the fuselage (pictured below):

    Let’s do a side by side comparison between the B-25 Mitchell bomber of 1945 and the 767 drone that impacted with the South tower on 9/11.

    B-25 Empty weight = 8800 kg, Speed at impact = (approx) 150 knots*
    Boeing 767-200 Empty weight = (approx 80,000 kg), Speed at impact = 520 knots.

    (*The B-25 has a cruise speed in level flight at altitude of 200 knots, so I’m being very generous by attributing a 150 knot speed at impact, bearing in mind that the B-25 was looking for the runway to land at the time of impact, and was likely travelling in the vicinity of 120 knots or less).

    The formula for Kinetic Energy (K.E) = 1/2 MxV(squared). (ie: 1/2 X Mass X Velocity X Velocity).

    There’s no need to convert the velocity to metres per second and punch in the exact numbers, since all we need is the relative proportion of K.E of one to other.
    Since the 767 is 80/8.8 = approx NINE (9) time the weight of the B-25, and its velocity was 520/150 = 3.47 (and thus V squared = 3.47 x 3.47 = approx 12 times more, the the K.E of the 767 is 8.8 x 12 = OVER ONE HUNDRED (100) TIMES MORE than the lumbering lightweight B-25 that impacted with the Empire state in 1945.

    SUMMARY: That B-25 punched one hell of a hole in the Empire State buildiing in 1945.
    To think that the Boeing 767, travelling at near to that of a speeding bullet, could not easily slice through the 1/4 inch thick structural steel members of the exoskeleton of the WTC towers as found in the upper floors where the impact occurred, is something that only a fool (or a No Planes Nutter) would assert.

    Yes, the leading 9/11 researchers on the planet say that the 767 drones (that impacted with the WYC towers) were modified to enable forward firing ordnance and that they fired a DU missile a fraction of a second before impact to enable a smooth ingress of the fuselage into the building.
    Personally, I believe that was a a case of overkill.
    The 767 drone had more than enough K.E to punch through the wafer thin facade of the WTC as found on the upper floors.
    (Of course, needing to support over 100 floors of weight above it, the structural steel found at the base of the building was much more robust and a plane strike there would have been an entirely different outcome.
    Not so on the upper floors, where the plane could easily pierce the structure of those much thinner/weaker external steel members).

    “we know the precise motivations, Wild Man

    the motivation was to create sufficient outrage so as to stampede the American people into endless wars for Israel”

    Yes, I know, but why would the state of Israel wish to carry on like this (seek wars), is what I am asking, and trying to find the deep answer for. People do things (even seeming illogical things) for reasons (which are psychological reasons). Nations are made up of people, and then usually, more or less narrowly ruled by a small subset of said people.

    So two things there, to sort out:

    1) Who is this small subset, precisely, within the western nations, and within Israel? (we can easily see who it is, in case of Saudi Arabia and tho other Princedoms, that are other partners in this petro-dollar scheme).

    2) What does this small subset of people, in leadership, in Israel, want precisely, as allowed, by way of appeals to their public, … appeals either straight or not (i.e. – appeals either manipulated or not)?

    I think I gave the outline answer to that question #1 in comment #535 (i.e. – it is the faux-west coporatist globalists, as seemingly led by the 25% Jewish component of its membership, within both western nations, as well as Israel).

    I have already offered (in many past comments), a brief description the faux-west corporatist globalists, as being a group that is dyadic in nature, …. two poles, …. billionaires on the one hand, and then on the other hand, the top technocrats in each technocratic silo of cultural control, on the other hand (both about 25% Jewish), … each pole, both using, as well as abusing, the other.

    Also, I think I gave the outline answer to question #2 in comment #517, as directed to Colin, as follows:

    The point being, …. if you wanted to make patsies of that precise group, for that stated precise reason, …. how else would you do it, for it to have good legs 20+ year on, which is what you would absolutely want (long legs), for the agenda at hand?, … which agenda is to fuck over the portion of the Islamic world anywhere, that is not a top-down Princedom, (which are all petro-dollar-aligned, … which Princedoms is primarily the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia) with the other portions of the Islamic world that are oil producers with export capacity, tending towards not wanting to be aligned with the petrodollar scheme, …. which Israel it seems, is the key place where some of the faux-west corporatist globalist skim-offs by way of petro-dollar action, of everyone else’s dollar-based international transactions, is stored, and ends up accruing to Israeli interests, for some strange Jewish reasons, that are not easy to fully understand, at this juncture, anyways, … because it looks like that is the last place in the world you would want to store the faux-west corporatist globalist skim-offs, that is, if you would like to enjoy the ongoing current value of that asset, … this conclusion causing someone like me some anxiety that these people (who are scapegoating the non-Princedom Islamic world) are not fools and so are not just marching into an obvious trap, and that then means that then totalitarian scepter will now be shoved down all our throats even deeper, probably by some dastardly elitist behaviors resulting in epic tragedy, even though I hope like hell that the damn will finally break, and we will see something else instead (like the House of Saud finally throwing off the shackles).

    So what I am saying is that we need to make a determination pronto-like, whether my take is warranted or not. And if it is not warranted, …. then still, we must then discover the real reason there is this war-making dynamic, seeming for Israel’s sake (or at least partial sake), …. which will end up featuring far darker occultish/esoteric-like strains, than the take I am offering, then, …. because that would mean that these top psychos would be motivated by more than protecting the value of their billions with associated technocratic-money-protection-rackets (which the petro-dollar scheme is an example thereof), which is plenty bad enough,…. my oh my, …. something even more ‘My Precious’-like, than this money skimming racket (inclusive of its protection component) is.

    Is my assessment off-base some where in this train of logic? OK (assuming you agree my argument is logical), … either way then, (either it is a massive triadic money skimming, and protection thereof, racket [thus featuring the anxiety-provoking enigma as to why this 25% Jewish component of said globalists would think it wise to invest their money-skims, which you would think they would seek to continue to protect, in Israel], …. or something even worse, …. potentially far worse). Either way, … the question remains (that is, if we hope to sort it out beyond bandaids), …. why would the few faux-west globalists presiding over the U.S., all western nations and Israel, … that made a deal with the House of Saud back in the 1970’s, (petro-dollar scheme) behave like such asses?

    I think we really do need to start thinking along the lines of this short Jordan Peterson clip about psychological traits and such, …. I think JP is pretty good on his handling of the material informing his profession (psychologist), ….. and even good on definitions around ‘true west’, … but yet, this dude has got issues, it seems, but let’s skip that part, for now):

    Thank you.

    I had been looking for video/photographic evidence of an airplane crashing into a building or other structure just to make random comparisons. Obviously, there are too many variables that can’t be reproduced, but points of reference are needed.

    I don’t doubt the plane/drone could pierce the building facade, but as you say, the cartoonish image of the aircraft just slipping in, with no discernible resultant cavern in the building, causes one to question the reality of the footage. Of course, the smoke/dust plume obstructs the view, but is an immediate explosion typical on impact? Either way, the building tumbling in entirety, and the numerous witnesses to explosions occurring throughout the buildings, are enough to indicate that the official narrative is false.

    I didn’t know Old Philosopher was an eyewitness; he does indeed seem an intelligent/credible commenter.

    Many years ago I watched a speech made by a former NASA scientist, who remarked, “Everything you can imagine, we already know how to do.” At that point in time, I was not afraid of the American government.

    To delve back into the conspiracy of “a small group running the world,” this is an excerpt from The Great Jewish Masque, written in 1935 –

    Sixth-Political :
    To secure control of the Press, Broadcasting, Cinema, Stage, and all means of publicity; to secure the presence of “agents” on all Gentile councils, committees, etc., and in confidential posts (such as “private secretary” to highly-placed persons), to maintain an effective espionage upon all Gentile activities; to start and keep alive dissensions in all Gentile institutions and thus break up all other political groups into their component parts and set these at enmity with each other; to discourage, decry and extirpate Patriotism and Pride of Race; and, in the name of “Progress” and “Evolution,” and under pretence of promoting ” Universal Peace” and “Human Brotherhood,” to set up ” Internationalism” as an ideal, thus undermining national unity and weakening government; to bring about “Disarmament” and the establishment of an ” International Police Force,” controlled by a “United Nations Organisation”-thus preparing the way for those who, unobtrusively, will gain control of the “United Nations Organisation” and the “International Bank,” and, through these, rule the world.

    The International Directors, however, never act openly or directly: they keep always in the background and work secretly and indirectly; pressure is brought to bear from all points, but whence it comes is carefully concealed- “no Gentile must be allowed to discover its source.”

    Further to my first reply comment to you (still in moderation), … maybe I could flesh it out even more, … what precisely I am getting at, with respect to potential answers, to this question I had put:

    Either way, … the question remains (that is, if we hope to sort it out beyond bandaids), …. why would the few faux-west globalists presiding over the U.S., all western nations and Israel, … that made a deal with the House of Saud back in the 1970’s, (petro-dollar scheme) behave like such asses?

    This is what I speculate as to potential answer to that question: The Jewish ethnicity is more-so prone to disagreeableness, extroversion and conscientiousness. This ordering, when paired with enhanced intelligence, can lead to superstars like Stephen Wolfram, and Ron Unz. But as well, with those with these traits more-so accentuated, but as paired with more normative intelligence … it seems as if environmentally-triggered neurotic reactions also then ensue, … and this leads to the worst dogmatism in the service of psychopathy. But here is the deal: This is the way the discussion can be eventuated in a nuanced way, within the Jewish community, for this the discussion, they must have amongst themselves:

    The rebellious Jewish nature has found and harnessed enhanced intelligence within its midst. This intelligence has then gone on to do much in this world (some of it truly glorious, it’s true). This intelligence, by its nature, ends up emulating and restating the core Jesus message, which is: No finite-bound being has any business taking on God-like (infinite-like) pretensions for oneself, …. that being the most egregious sin of all, the sin of ontological conceit, the sin that leads directly to the dastardly community scapegoating dynamic, that will spell the end of us all if left unchecked, …. thus providing the Jewish collective with this quandary: Their most intelligent, that have born great fruit for all, see that this sense of Jewish ‘diligent social disagreeableness’ has its useful limits, for which, once transgressed, lead to just the most awful outcomes. That’s pretty much it, to get the appropriate convos going, within Jewdom.

    Then, … these convos may lead to what I think is probably the root issue here: This enhanced human intelligence (of which perhaps the Jewish example is the most extreme) has come at cost: The cost of our very young children waking up to these existential facts, due to perceptions garnered by way of this human intelligence hallmark, … basically freaking out, …. and then not partaking of necessary catharsis around this, … that can only be had if the people around (especially caregivers such as parents) do not gaslight the reality of the facts of the small child’s freak-out, out of existence. Look, … in some cases a religious household may help in this respect, and sometimes the opposite, also probably dictated as to whether the parents are sorted out or not, themselves, …. are you going to get understanding religious parents around this,or dogmatic religious parents around this? It not matter even, too much the precise words said, to the freaked-out small child, and the narratives used. It’s the way that it is said (he/she needs to feel validated around this, or there will be hell to pay, in the long run, …. ‘psychopathy’ kind of hell to pay in some cases). For instance, in a religious household that is not dogmatic, then the religious circumstance can work in the small child’s favor, in this event, if said small child is lucky enough to have religious parents that have their heads screwed on straight, as to their own personal definitions of ‘faith’ …. as featuring a whole lot of very humbling doubt (despite the raving church leader, or priest, or rabbi?, sometimes saying very loony things otherwise about ‘faith’).

    Of course western people outside of the Jewish community have to have our own convos about these Institutional Church leaders that are leading us astray. We need to have our more wise goy folk, correct this now. I gotta say, …. it sure would help out a whole lot on that front, if the Jewish community went first, … but maybe that goes both ways (the two needed cultural revolutions are intimately related).

    You know, …. technically, institutionally, the Muslims are not supposed to have this ontological conceit problem (though of course it is an extremely common human psychological problem of varying degrees), because by the technicality of their faith (making it the correlate of the technicality of ‘Institutional Christianity’), … when the Muslims say Allahu Akbar (God is greater, or greatest) they do not profess to know what God is, because as they are saying, God is infinite (as such, they are supposed to pray to have their will aligned with Allah’s, nevertheless).

    They claim that it is obviously fake because, when the video is slowed down, there is a section where the plane wing tip disappears, then reappears just before impact with WTC2.

    Hey TruthV,

    Someone once asked me about that here on TUR, and what is actually happening in the video, is that the building in question is in between the camera and the plane, so that the wing of the plane would disappear as the jet is moving behind it, from the perspective of the camera holder.

    appears to be cartoonish, in that the plane appears to melt into the facade of the building like butter, and disappear whole.

    The reason for this, is because the poor resolution of the video makes the WTC Tower look like a solid wall, rather than a lattice of steel columns and glass. Which the center mass of the jets had no problem bursting through- as the design was intended, (as the architect who designed the Towers mentioned on film), that they could absorb a large jet crashing into them- like a pencil puncturing though a screen door.

    As I mentioned, I don’t want to get into flame fests over this stuff, but TipToe seems utterly genuine.

    2) What does this small subset of people, in leadership, in Israel, want precisely,

    the video you posted did a pretty good job of fleshing that out, particularly at the very end. Sadism.

    It’s not new. Humans have endeavored to dominate and subjugate others since the beginning of time. Judaism is this unfortunate human trait codified as a religious sacrament. At least insofar as it deals with non-Jews. There might even be a genetic component to this, but I see it mostly as a consequence of their religious precepts towards ‘narcissistic psychopathy’ and ‘predatory parasitism’. Judaism has honed these qualities over thousands of years, (perhaps even at a genetic level), so as to seek the domination, subjugation, and ultimately cruel and sadistic genocidal vanquishing, (as we’re seeing today in Gaza), of all non-Jews. With of course their ultra-creepy talk of the kings and queens of the Gentiles being forced to abase themselves and lick the dust from the feet of the Jews. Isaiah 49:23

    If you want people to be forced to lick your feet, then you might (not) be a Redneck, but rather something else.

    But I wouldn’t hold my breath. The Jews will do what the Jews have always done, imho, and so it’s for the rest of us to do what we can to survive them.

    A lot of damage is going to be done, until the dollar dies, and if there’s anything left of the world, following that, then perhaps there might be some hope.

    > Do you really think a 767 could have flown “right through” the World Trade Center?

    In a literal, technical, sense, no, I don’t. On the other hand, it’s not surprising to see phrases like that tossed around impressionistically by people who were witnesses to some portion of the event. It’s similar to the way that people are fascinated by occasional statements in the media at the time of the form “It was like a demolition!” That kind of statement by a reported summarizing their impression of the collapse is not tantamount to hard evidence of bombs in the building. Likewise, if someone says “right through” then I would not give this much technical significance.

    If I had to extrapolate a guess of what such a witness was actually seeing, it would something like the following. A plane crashes into the building at high speed. The body of the plane breaks apart, but the parts still retain some momentum which continues hurtling forward as if acting as one unified mass. As this mass crashes forward, it propels other objects along with it in a way which may seem to fuse with the body parts of the plane. On the other side of the building, the general mass that is traveling forward erupts into the open air in a way which seems to mimic a pattern of the whole plane going “right through” the building. But when one subsequently examines the debris that falls on the street, one finds an odd combination of some occasional plane parts and some debris which likely originates from the office space which was hit. Most of the plane parts probably remain stuck within the building, though the occasional oddball piece from the plane may manage to fly through.

    That’s my intuitive impression of how it would play out.

    But, BolshevikPretzel, what about the multitude of people who thought the fall mimicked a controlled demolition as they watched the footage, or watched in person, with no outside influence whatsoever? I was home alone when I saw the building fall, and I wondered exactly that – it looked identical to a professional demolition. I also thought it implausible that structure damage and/or fire damage could cause a modern building of that magnitude to implode.

    Your allusion to the power of suggestion is clearly the cause of the general acceptance of the official narrative, which shifted within hours from the initial comments of a possible demolition in conjunction with a crash. In fact, Fox News was the first network to mention Bin Laden, after the first tower fell, then Ehud Barak starts tossing around allegations against Bin Laden, Iran, Iraq…and, I don’t care what anyone says, My Lord Guy was laying the groundwork for the official narrative. I know rehearsed BS when I hear it.

    The narrative was clearly molded, as how else can the fall of building 7 be absent from the minds of nearly everyone, in general? I was paying attention, and somehow 7 disappeared from my recollection for a few years. That is powerful manipulation by a complicit media/authority.

    But when one subsequently examines the debris that falls on the street, one finds an odd combination of some occasional plane parts and some debris which likely originates from the office space which was hit

    Just how extensive was our examination of the debris? How long before everything was shipped to “China?”

    The 767 drone had more than enough K.E to punch through the wafer thin facade of the WTC as found on the upper floors.

    Typical nonfactual nonsense.

    Your so-called “wafer thin” facade of the Twin Towers on the upper floors was fabricated from four sheets of (at least) 0.25″ steel plate assembled into prefabricated box column sections that included steel spandrel plates that encircled each of the floors like steel belts.

    Image: Wikipedia

    https://www.fireengineering.com/fire-prevention-protection/building-construction/the-world-trade-center-construction-and-collapse-part-2/#gref

    Of course, since each of the box columns in the Twin Towers was constructed from four (4) steel plates, slicing, cutting or punching through any single box column would have required the magic airplanes, drones or dragons to cut through all four sides of each steel box column, so you – or at least others – should know where that leaves your ridiculous claim about a “wafer thin facade.”

    And certainly, by now, most reasonably attentive readers here should know that ridiculous claims and outright lies are your stock-in-trade.

    A vast organized conspiracy is not actually necessary when the vast majority of our rulers or “guiders” are all of the same ilk, and/or educated within the same institutions, and/or captured by the same promoters of the issue du jour, like climate change or abortion. Their aspirations and goals are the same, so they naturally align and/or team-up. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to cast a vote for a politician based on his/her position on abortion, yet people do. It’s so stupid – “Men want to control our bodies!” – as if the average woman does NOT know how to abstain or prevent a pregnancy.

    There is definitely a one-world conspiracy afoot, but I doubt the actual conspirators are large in number, but the Useful Idiots, like Robinette or Pelosi, are a dime a dozen.

    Regarding the Jews, even those who claim to be secular, and insist they love Europa, they are surrounded their entire lives with orthodox relatives, and certainly by the highly organized/clannish nature of Jewry, which has been their survival strategy for thousands of years. If you are raised in this environment, particularly with the lies constantly circulating – the blood libel! The Holocaust! They’re jealous of our success! It was the Whites who brought the slaves over! – then how is an independent attitude, or at least a non-defensive attitude, towards Whites developed? Of course, there are exceptions, but clearly not enough to change course.

    They tell us, all the time, exactly what they are doing – Barbara Spectre, Noel Ignatiev, Susan Sontag, and a multitude of Rabbis say it. Even Fran Taubman has said – We are the best of all people! Why should the Arabs get all the oil! I’d trust my life to Henryk Tauber, (whose testimony on the Holocaust is as clear a fabrication as I’ve ever seen; his testimony would be defeated in a high school mock court). Samuel Untermyer proclaimed to LOVE and appreciate America/Europa, but still he rejoiced over the Revolution in Russia, and he lied through his teeth over Germany, whilst proclaiming that Jews are the aristocrats of the world. The Tells are everywhere, but you have to search continuously and take notes.

    Jordan Peterson is excellent, and I wish to God he had resisted the efforts of Prager/Shapiro to capture him, which they seem to have done. All of his previous public commentary was on free speech issues, and inter-personal relationships, and self-improvement, which seemed to resonate with European/American men, which is exactly why he was targeted, in my opinion. His overall message was simple – grow the hell up, and think about what you can do to make your life better, as well as the lives of your loved ones, then do it.

    When I saw the video of him crying in Israel over the need for juedo-Christian values, I shed a few tears myself in disappointment. Another one bites the dust.

    The further the stock of America/Europe is diluted with the tempest-tossed refuse from teaming shores, the easier it will be to “take us down” – just like the WTC – an implosion from within.

    It came at the end of the day when the building was all safely evacuated. Thousands of people were killed in the collapses of the Towers. No one seems to have been killed in the collapse of WTC 7. That was a good enough reason to not really remember it for the first year afterwards.

    Most likely, Muslim terrorists linked with Osama bin Laden. Of course, once the event had happened, various actors sought to take advantage of it.

    But that was what my Western Canadian Alberta city was like, when I was growing up in the 1960’s, …. but it was mostly a big mix of various Europeans of all kinds, with all kinds of languages. And then came Muslims in the 1970’s, from all over the place. What’s the national identity here though? … it’s westernism (which my Mom and Dad both knew precisely what that was), … and the Muslims here practice it just as much as anyone else, though the practice (fair-mindedness) seems to be stymied everywhere, as powers now try to replace it with ‘victim mentality’.

    So I don’t agree that Jewdom needed to do Israel, or that Israel needs to do Jewdom this way (force national identity at the expense of the denigration of others). That attitude (herding kittens, instead of live and let live) is extremely immature, too.

    Part of my ethnic background (3/8’s) is Irish. The Irish actually did explode in population beyond the scope of the countryside to provide. And then there was this huge migration of starving and dying Irish to Manhattan Island. And they were hatred as feral hicks (because they were, … the Irish coming from the western counties at that time, …. terrible conditions had made them so). And then it only took about two generations for that sad state of affairs, to correct itself, once these American and Canadian Irish had decided they were now being treated fairly. And then they just assimilated like crazy. There is not much Irish identity in Canada among 3rd generation Irish let’s say (the one Irish strain in my family ended up on Manhattan Island in the 1840’s due to potato famine conditions, even though they claimed hailing from ancient Brian Boru [surname and such] , and the other Irish strain in my family did not arrive until the 1910’s, coming from a prominent family within a more monied horse-breeding Irish county closer to Dublin, and trained as an architect at Trinity College, and that was one of my grandfathers). You might see it a bit with things like Irish dancing, or on Saint Patrick’s Day (my Grandfather’s penchant for reciting Irish poetry, and Latin prose as well, was inherited by my Dad, but died out with him). Otherwise these Irish are Canadians. That’s the way they see it. That’s me, for instance.

    So, no … not getting it (that the Jews have to do this for group-identity purposes, … no they don’t, methinks).

So, you look to see if everything else is wet – the trees, your car in the driveway, your grass/soil – if everything is dry, what happened? There are ways to eliminate what did NOT happen….

    That was a good enough reason to not really remember it for the first year afterwards.

    Sure, but building 7 just so happens to be the most controversial/suspect collapse, with virtually no external damage and loads of comments about “it’s unstable; we may have to take it down; Pull It!” so naturally, that collapse is the unintentional red herring, so to speak, yet no one in media/authority brings it to the fore, which is what would have happened if an actual investigation had occurred. If I were in charge, both Larry and My Lord Guy would be immediately sequestered and questioned for days.

    Most likely, Muslim terrorists linked with Osama bin Laden.

    Thanks for not letting me down, my BolshevikPretzel.

    You know if Hitler had prevailed, it’s likely none of this would have happened, and maybe we’d all be speaking German instead of Spanish, Farsi/Dari, Hindi, but what’s 1938 Berlin compared to Mexico City or Delhi (the Crap Capital of the world – who needs German architecture when cattle are plodding all over the place to produce construction material)?

    Disasters are often tools for policy changes, such as the Patriot Act, and Alejandro Mayorkas, of Jewish Family Services, brought in after the disaster of an “election” known as the installation of Robinette “who’s in the shower?” Biden.

    I didn’t know Old Philosopher was an eyewitness; he does indeed seem an intelligent/credible commenter.

    Well, yeah, he/she/it/they claims to have seen a plane smack into a building with his own two eyes. Of course, the question does remain (for me, at least) of whether somebody can bear witness anonymously.

    As for “Old Philosopher” being a “credible commenter, well… sure, I guess… If this was “Mickey Mouse” or “Donald Duck” here claiming to have seen the plane hit the building, that would obviously not be “credible”. But the Old Philosopher

    Another unimpeachable witness that “Truth Vigilante” provided is “Unnamed Black Dude”, who is on some video that was provided. Unnamed Black Dude is there saying something like: “Yeah, man, I saw da plane hit da building…”

    Yes, the leading 9/11 researchers on the planet say that the 767 drones (that impacted with the WYC towers) were modified to enable forward firing ordnance and that they fired a DU missile a fraction of a second before impact to enable a smooth ingress of the fuselage into the building.

    Wow that’s one hell of a story. You say the “leading 9/11 researchers on the planet” say this? Who is that?

    So let me get this straight… these are special 767’s that are rigged to be flown by remote control, are souped up somehow to be able to fly that fast at low altitudes. AND they are outfitted with the ability to fire missiles…

    So, yeah, the plane fired a missile into the building a fraction of a second before impacting the building to clear the way so that it could then penetrate the building. Of course, the firing of the missile was by remote control also, I guess.

    The strange thing about all of this phantastical storytelling is that it is, quite possibly, harder to believe than the official story of the 19 hijackers. And that is saying something!

    …the Empire State Building looks like it was built to last. If, God forbid, it falls down, it will likely fall straight down like the World Trade Centers.

    exactly

    glad you pointed that out.

    when a modern high-rise building is weakened by an office fire or vibrations, it will always collapse down through itself, as the path of least resistance.

    so even with the building in the photo at the top, looking unstable in that way, is no threat at all, because the entire thing, (if there’s an office fire or some vibrations), will collapse neatly into its basement, if its structural integrity should become compromised.

    this is just a simple fact of basic physics.

    I posted it here, because in all likelihood, Sailer will be too cowardly to post it to the article.

    > do you assume it rained?

    Since rain is a much more common event than terrorist attacks and controlled demolitions, I usually do. In some exceptional cases, the explanation may turn out to be that someone’s sprinkler system was busted, and water was leaking out all through the night. But rain is the more common cause.

    > with virtually no external damage

    That’s at least debatable.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20021024005133/https://www.firehouse.com/terrorist/911/magazine/gz/norman.html

    —–
    From there, we looked out at 7 World Trade Center again. You could see smoke, but no visible fire, and some damage to the south face. You couldn’t really see from where we were on the west face of the building, but at the edge of the south face you could see that it was very heavily damaged.
    —–

    Because NIST deemphasized the issue of exterior damage in their model of the collapse, 911truthers have gotten carried away with saying that there was little damage. That’s a bit too far.

    > Disasters are often tools for policy changes

    For sure. The issue that ends up being argued about is when does one have real evidence of the whole thing having been planned in advance. Putin certainly took advantage of 911 to draw sympathy in the West for his war in Chechnya, but there’s no reason to think that he had anything to do with arranging 911. With the CIA, FBI, Mossad, PNAC and such one has more of a direct plausible motive for hypothesizing a conspiracy. But it can still just be a case of people taking advantage of something that happened mostly independently.

    Ha! Is this a jab? It was funny…

    Of course, the question does remain (for me, at least) of whether somebody can bear witness anonymously.

    Yes, they can; it happens all the time. Ever heard of an anonymous tip? Is it acceptable in court as testimony? No. Do anonymous tips lead to discovery? Yes, and whatever you find is admissible, generally.

    In point of fact, I have never read anything written/claimed by Old Philosopher regarding 911, but we have corresponded on, and I’ve read his comments on, other subjects, and I’ve done so often enough to form a general opinion. So, based on internet commentary, you correctly deduced that I’m a white woman. If you go through comment history, you could accurately discern much more about my viewpoints. Of course, people lie on the internet, but they also lie in person, and/or in interviews, or on the witness stand whist under oath. In my opinion, it’s somewhat possible to determine who’s online to yank chains, and who’s actually feeling like a deer in the headlights and seeking the honest/absolute opinions/information from others, which is very likely easier amongst anonymous commentary. If Tucker Carlson could vicariously say Israel is America’s albatross, I bet he would; Jim Traficant said so, and look what happened.

    The preponderance of evidence indicates many people saw something flying overhead, and because there was no investigation wherein witnesses would have been deposed with pointed questions or cross, we have to go with the piddling evidence we have regarding whether or not something was flying through the air.

    I certainly understand that debates on complex or emotional subject matter can be colorful, and I love a good barb as much as anyone; humor can ease the stress, but I don’t really understand the spiteful backbiting, as that ruins the discussion in most cases. I’m not always as polite as I probably should be, but, in truth, No One has ever said anything to upset me, except Arthur MacBride, but it wasn’t intentional, personal, or vicious, so we moved on.

    The preponderance of evidence indicates many people saw something flying overhead,

    Hello TipToe,

    It has been my inclination during several of the discussions of planes / no-planes, to point out that the smoking crash holes/scars in the buildings, where the jets crashed into, were a sort of evidence that there were indeed jets that day.

    The scars were there in both cases, photographed and videotaped by many different cameras and angles and so forth, so that to fake all of that, would have been a challenge.

    this photo shows a woman, (subsequently identified) waving from the site.

    it’s my contention that all those photos and videos, with all the different angles and smoke in real time, would have been yes- impossible – to fake, at least with the technology available at the time.

    But with many of the no-planes adherents, they whisk such concerns away as a nothing burger. Just a distraction, and myself, likely a Hasbera troll for even suggesting such a thing.

    So I’ve stopped trying. I only point it out to you, because as I’ve mentioned, you seem sincere.

    Since rain is a much more common event than terrorist attacks and controlled demolitions,

    True, but the point still stands.

    But rain is the more common cause.

    Yes. And do buildings more commonly collapse/implode into their own footprint, in a few seconds, due to fires, exterior damage/breaches, or due to controlled demolitions?

    Is Pull It a term ever used, at any point in history, to describe the intentional destruction of a building? If I yell, Freeze! whilst you’re walking towards me, and English is your first language, and you are an adult, do you understand my meaning? Come on, Pretzel, don’t be deliberately obtuse.

    911truthers have gotten carried away with saying that there was little damage. That’s a bit too far.

    Really? Please view the footage Rurik posted in #581, and briefly describe the apparent damage to the exterior of the building. Where is the raging inferno?

    Regarding the interior, who went inside to inspect the damage after the building was evacuated and the immediate area was cleared, at around noon on 9/11, according to most reports?

    Do you, or do you not, observe the effluence bursting from the windows, in a rather strange sequence, as the building collapses? Straight downwards, no wiggling or pitching over, no buckling, no groaning, no pancaking….so many miracles, or firsts, on 911 – I’m blonde, I’m never in the sun, so I had to see a dermatologist that very morning, thanks be to Moloch! And, that double indemnity for terror attacks! How fortuitous!

    But it can still just be a case of people taking advantage of something that happened mostly independently.

    Yes, exactly. There were a few beneficiaries of 911 – was there an over-representation within a certain group of beneficiaries, just as there was after WW1/WW2? The same group of people always seem to benefit the most; it’s very common, just like rain, as hydrants and sprinkler system malfunctions aren’t as common, but if you look around, there are exceptions and there are rules, and it’s not too hard to ascertain the source of the Great Flood, IF you have the necessary information, and certainly if there’s precedent.

    Judaism is this unfortunate human trait codified as a religious sacrament. At least insofar as it deals with non-Jews.
    There might even be a genetic component to this, but I see it mostly as a consequence of their religious precepts towards ‘narcissistic psychopathy’ and ‘predatory parasitism’

    What you’ve said above relates to what I was reading recently, about the role of ‘The Mob’ in JFK’s assassination.
    Yes, the Mob was involved, but it is not as depicted in those ZOG produced Hollywood movies and ZOG funded book publications, which seek to deflect and misdirect culpability away from the actual miscreants.

    To the extent that Italians/Sicilians were involved in organised crime since the late 1930’s, they were no more than upper middle management at best, serving a higher order puppet master.
    And by that I mean the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate.
    Organised crime in the U.S was the fiefdom of Meyer Lansky, a rabid Zionist. All lower order Mob constituents were accountable to him and had no autonomy to undertake a major initiative without Lansky’s express approval.
    And thus, to the extent that the Mob was involved in the JFK assassination, it was on the orders of the Jewish hierarchy.

    Also, before continuing further, I’ll bring up a word that many of you may already be familiar with. But for those that aren’t, I’ll elaborate.
    The word is ‘Mishpucka’, and loosely translated it means ‘The Family’. ie: the family of Malignant International Jewry that control the entirety of the western financial and political systems (what many of us have been referring to as ZOG).

    The following are quotes from Gary Wean’s* brilliant book ‘There’s a Fish in the Courthouse (1987) – (*he was an excellent JFK coup d’etat researcher):

    Chapter 35, “The important difference is that the so-called Mafia is a loosely knit group of Italian Criminals. They are loyal to the United States in the sense of having no conscious intent to destroy America.
    But the Mishpucka is a secret organization, a criminal bloodline owing allegiance to the Family alone. Their sworn declaration and evil goal is the subjugation of the people and total control of the world’s power and wealth.”

    The Mafia knows where their best interest lies; they are more than willing to be subject to protection under the fair laws of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. But the Mishpucka operates under the Mishna, the Jew law, the law of the Rabbi.

    The Mishna is diametrically opposed to the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights except when in the event the Constitution can be used for their own personal benefit.

    Chapter 36; “After the Crucifixion of Jesus, High Priests of the Jewish Temples were called Rabbis. Rabbi Juda wrote the “Mishna”.
    The Mishna became the law that all Jews must study and follow in criminal, civil, political, religious and family matters.

    The evil brain of the Mishpucka which controls everything is in the ADL B’nai B’rith
    headquarters in New York City, not in Israel as some believe. It was located in New York City long before Israel was ever created. All orders and direction come from this location.

    Their financial headquarters and source of the Mishpucka’ s great wealth is the Federal
    Reserve System in Washington, D.C. Mishpucka Alan Greenspan is the head of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Banks, but strange as it seems, even in this seemingly top post Greenspan is still only middle-level in the Mishpucka hierarchy.

    The following line from the passage above speaks volumes:

    ‘They [the Italian/Sicilian constituents of organised crime] are loyal to the United States in the sense of having no conscious intent to destroy America’.

    Not so for the Mishpucka. They have a conscious intent to destroy America and christianity/the goyim all over the world.
    And that is precisely how things have played out at an escalated rate in the post JFK era.

    Here, you can talk about the really important topics. For example, how many of the Neoconservatives who orchestrated the horrific and unnecessary War on Terror have gone to a Bruce Springsteen concert? They’re all between about sixty and eighty years old, the age range containing the typical Springsteen fan, and for the most part I think they grew up and/or went to universities in New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, all states in the heart of Springsteen country. I think the number of notable Neocons who have seen Bruce live at any point is about 4 or 5.

    Patrick ‘ Mordechai’ McNally writes’:

    A plane crashes into the building at high speed. The body of the plane breaks apart, but the parts still retain some momentum which continues hurtling forward as if acting as one unified mass ….. it propels other objects along with it in a way which may seem to fuse with the body parts of the plane.

    It pains me to say it, in light of Mordechai McNally’s abysmal track record on getting things right, but Shlomo may be [sort of] on the right track.
    First of all, we’ve all seen those nice round holes punched in the C, D and E rings of the Pentagon on 9/11. (eg: refer below):

    Of course the 757 Boeing aircraft (AA77) that was alleged to have done that to the one of the Pentagon’s rings, could NOT have created that hole.

    NO AIRCRAFT KNOWN TO MAN COULD HAVE PUNCHED THOSE THREE ROUND HOLES ON THE PENTAGON WALLS (at least not from the impact of the actual MASS of the aircraft with the Pentagon wall.)

    That’s because ALL modern aircraft in the world have a flimsy aluminium fuselage, that crumples upon impact with anything that offers even the slightest resistance.
    Of course, anyone with a brain will know that the three holes in the Pentagon were created by a DU missile warhead.
    DU= Depleted Uranium, which is extremely dense, and thus has incredible penetrative ability.
    This depleted uranium, in the case of the missile that was launched from the heavily modified 767 drone aircraft that impacted with the WTC towers on 9/11, expands somewhat on impact and then proceeds at great speed to ‘push’ all debris in its way out of the other side of the building.

    So, when the No Plane Nutters show you that video in slow motion, in these thousandths of a second after something appears to be coming from the other side of the South tower, it appears (in their minds at least) to resemble the nose cone of the Boeing aircraft coming out the other side of WTC2.
    That’s why they claim that the video is fake, that it is CGI generated, because the nose cone/fuselage of the Boeing aircraft would have disintegrated long before it reached the other side of the building.

    In fact, what they’re seeing is the DEBRIS that the DU warhead has pushed out of the way.
    And yes, it is approximately the size (a few metres in diameter) of the width of a typical commercial wide bodied aircraft – as per that photo of the hole in the Pentagon I included at the beginning of this comment.

    In the case of the holes punched in the C, D and E rings of the Pentagon, said missile that was utilised (possibly an AGM-65 Maverick, according the USMC Lt-Col. Field McConnell – the premier 9/11 researcher on the planet), was fired by the Raytheon owned and operated drone A-3 Skywarrior ex-military aircraft, that fired that missile a fraction of a second before it impacted* with the Pentagon.
    (*Perhaps ‘impacted’ is not the correct word, seeing as the bulk of the A-3 Skywarrior would’ve entered the CAVITY created by the missile it had previously fired, hence the reason large sections of the Skywarrior fuselage were located later on in identifiable form).
    The photo below shows some of those ‘rectangular cross section fuselage’ parts that are unique to an A-3 Skywarrior:

    If the photo above does not appear (I’ve posted it before in a previous UR thread, and for some reason it didn’t work for some readers), click on the link below and once opened, click on the link contained within with the words ‘gwbush/pentagon/crane.lifting.parts.jpg’, and it should work.

    The following photo is a frontal view of a Douglas A-3 Skywarrior (as you can see, that characteristic ‘rectangular fuselage’ is evident):

    Now UR readers, that photo I’ve shown you of the A-3 Skywarrior components hanging from a crane (that were RETRIEVED from the debris within the Pentagon on 9/11), is not something that you’ll ever be shown from the corrupt ZOG owned western media.
    That photo was definitely not meant for public consumption, but I want to all of you to know what really happened that day, so I’m sharing it with you.

    SUMMARY: Yes, there was a REAL Boeing 757 involved in the 9/11 Pentagon incident.
    It approached the Pentagon at low altitude and then FLEW OVER IT into the distance.
    Then, in synchronous timing, as people were focused on the low flying 757, the A-3 Skywarrior appeared at high speed (after having just executed an 8000 foot descending 270 degree cork screw manoeuvre that NO commercial wide bodies Boeing aircraft could ever accomplish), this A-3 skimmed a few feet over the Pentagon lawn and then proceeded into the cavity it had created in the Pentagon west all from the DU missile it had just launched a fraction of a moment before.

    ALL three (3) drone aircraft (the two heavily modified Boeing 767 drones that crashed into the North and South towers and the Raytheon owned and operated A-3 Skywarrior that struck the Pentagon), ALL of these aircraft were equipped with FORWARD FIRING ORDNANCE, and all three planes fired DU missiles at their targets that day.

    I’m speculating here, but my guess is that the 757 drone replacement for UA93 that ended up being shot down* near Shanksville PA, was also equipped with forward firing ordnance, and it too would have fired a missile before impacting with its intended target of the Capitol Building in D.C.
    (There was a 41 minute imputed delay in the scheduled take off of the real UA93.
    White Hats within the U.S military/Intel agencies could see a false flag was being perpetrated and went out of their way to delay the take off of UA93).

    (*Of course, no plane debris or wreckage was found in that little hole in the ground in Shankville PA, that was alleged by the lying MSM/USG to be the final resting place of UA93.
    But around 2-8 miles away from that smoldering little hole in the ground, lay scattered REAL AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE, found in the vicinity of Indian Lake and New Baltimore PA).

    The drone substitute for AE93 was shot down either by F-16’s from the North Dakota National Guard or a USAF A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft that was confirmed to be flying in that vicinity.
    (A-10 Thunderbolt/aka Warthog pictured below):

  585. My apologies UR readers, I left out the link to the article that contains all the relevant photos of the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior (as per the plane that was involved in the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11).
    The link follows:

    Be sure to read this article in its entirety and click onto all links in the early part of it, that show photos of the A-3 Skywarrior fuselage components that were retrieved from inside the Pentagon on the day of 9/11.

  586. This goes beyond evil. The sheer pettiness and injustice of it is surreal.

    ‘The Biden administration has reportedly raised concerns about Israel’s treatment of imprisoned Palestinian leader, Marwan Barghouti.

    The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the State Department raised allegations of Barghouti’s abuse with Israel, asking them to “thoroughly and transparently investigate credible allegations” and that Palestinian prisoners must be held in “dignified conditions and in accordance with international law”.

    Members of Barghouti’s family allege that since the 7 October Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel and the subsequent war on Gaza, he has been subjected to physical and psychological mistreatment, including being placed in complete darkness in solitary confinement for 12 days. Barghouti’s lawyers are cited in the Post story as saying that Barghouti had several bruises on his body….’

    Marwan Barghouti, having been in prison for more than ten years now, and not a member of Hamas in the first place, clearly could have had nothing to do with October 7th.

    So the Israelis start tormenting him. This simply wouldn’t occur to a civilized people.

  587. @Sparkon

    And certainly, by now, most reasonably attentive readers here should know that ridiculous claims and outright lies are your stock-in-trade.

    Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be thought of as the ‘Energy of MOTION’.
    K.E is proportional to the square of velocity.

    UR readers, try this by way of example, assuming you have a firearm handy.
    Pull a bullet out of the chamber of your handgun and throw it at your face.
    Hmmm, as expected, not much damage done – you’re still (in the case of Sparkie) as ugly as before.
    Now, put it back in the chamber and imagine what it would do if you fired it at your face.

    You see, the velocity of that bullet made all the difference. You may have thrown the bullet at your face (in that example I suggested) at around 1o km/h.
    Well, the muzzle velocity of a bullet fired from a typical handgun (say a Glock 45) is a little over 1000 km/h, as I recall.
    Since that is 100 times the velocity of the bullet thrown by hand, it will possess 100 squared (ie: TEN THOUSAND TIMES more K.E), hence the reason it will EASILY penetrate your thick skull, even though it was not even able to puncture your skin when launched at low speed.
    It was THE SAME BULLET we’re talking about in both instances.
    VELOCITY is the deciding factor in the degree and EASE of penetration.

    Well, the plane that flew into WTC2 (the South tower) on 9/11 was travelling at just shy of that of the speeding bullet in the Glock 45 I mentioned above.
    This bastard was flying balls out at Full Throttle.

    I showed in an earlier comment how a lumbering SLOW MOVING B-25 Mitchell bomber, that weighed a small fraction of what a 767 Boeing would weigh, PUNCHED A HOLE into the Empire State, and the near entirety of that B-25 wedged itself WITHIN THE BUILDING.

    Now Sparkie tells us that the 767 drone, with MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED* TIMES MORE KINETIC ENERGY, could not penetrate the MUCH THINNER porous exoskeleton lattice of the WTC towers as used in the UPPER FLOORS of that building.

    (*Let’s hear that again – more than ONE HUNDRED times more K.E than the B-25.
    And bear in mind that my calculations for the K.E of the B-25 were very generous so that the I couldn’t later be accused by the No Planes Nutters of exaggerating.
    I assumed it’s velocity at impact was around 150 knots in my calculations, when it was far more likely to have been around 110-120 knots).

    Had I used the lower figure for the velocity of the B-25, the 767 drone would have had something closer to TWO HUNDRED TIMES more K.E than the WWII era plane.

    So UR readers, who are you going to believe?

    Are you going to believe Sparkie, who STILLS wears his Covid face mask 24/7 (despite being shown reams of evidence that the eff’n things NEVER worked to combat an airborne virus measured in microns – and that includes those useless N95 masks as well), OR are you going to believe your lying eyes?

    Let’s hear it once again from Frank De Martini, the Construction Manager for the WTC towers (37 sec video):

    In De Martini’s own words (slightly paraphrased):

    The Boeing aircraft would PUNCTURE a hole in the porous exoskeleton of the WTC, like a pencil that is poked through mosquito netting on your screen door.

    Yes, there’s an eff’n big hole in the WTC where the plane entered (just as in the mosquito netting example).
    But the SURROUNDING LATTICE of structural members around that hole in the WTC is rock solid and is not structurally compromised.
    That is what De Martini is saying. But Sparkie can’t absorb this obvious fact.

    NOTE ALSO: De Martini’s calculations were based on a Boeing 707 aircraft striking the WTC. (At the time the WTC was designed in the late 60’s, the 707 was the largest commercial aircraft in service in the world).
    And for sure said calculations for the impact with the WTC would have been based on the 707 being lost in fog in its approach to land in NYC, just like the B-25 that struck the Empire State Bldg in 1945.
    A 707 at low altitude looking to land, would be flying at well under 250 knots (as compared to the 767 drone drone that struck WTC2 that was flying balls out full throttle at 520 knots).

    Most importantly, the Boeing 707 was SMALLER and WEIGHED LESS than a 767, it would have had less then HALF THE VELOCITY of the 767 drone on 9/11.
    Yet according to De Martini’s calculations, this 707 would still punch a hole through the WTC like a pencil through mosquito netting on your screen door.

    Contrast what I’ve said above with the sources that the No Planes Nutters rely on.
    Some Jewish guy called ‘Ace Baker’ and another ZOG minion called Simon Shack-of-Shit told Sparkie their alternative hypothesis, and he lapped it up uncritically because they produced some ZOG funded elaborately produced video that incorporated some graphics that were furnished by the Jewish owned Hollywood special effects department).
    These were individuals that no one had ever heard of, that had no history* of integrity and truth telling like those I get my info from.
    (*In fact they have no history whatsoever, either good or bad, that can be located to draw upon. They seem to have materialised from somewhere in the Negev Desert it appears).

    Not so for people like USMC Lt-Col (ret) Field McConnell, Christopher Bollyn, Dr Kevin Barrett, Col. Robert M. Bowman, Major General Albert Stubblebine, National Medal Of Science* recipient Lynn Margulis, Capt. Dan Hanley, and scores of other individuals that I’ve relied on, EACH of which have a MULTI-DECADE HISTORY that can be tracked down and perused with a fine tooth comb.

    (*The National Medal Of Science is the U.S equivalent of the Nobel Prize and is the most prestigious award that can be given to a scientist in America).

    And many of those I speak of have suffered immensely for coming out and exposing the ZOG perpetrators of the 9/11 False Flag. eg:

    1) Kevin Barrett and Capt. Dan Hanley had their careers destroyed (the latter resides in Pakistan where he has lived for the last 12-13 years).

    2) Lynn Margulis and Bob Bowman had suspicious premature deaths, even though they appeared healthy enough in videos released only months prior

    3) Chrsitopher Bollyn was tased by government goons in front of his family and neighbours on his front lawn, who thereafter broke his arm.
    He soon packed his bags, took his family, and relocated to Sweden where he has lived for these last 18 or so years.

    ALL of those I’ve nominated have a HISTORY of honesty and taking on the establishment, always speaking truth to power, always running their own race and never once being demonstrated as beholden/affiliated to a cashed up Talmudic benefactor.
    All of these individuals had REAL SKIN in the game and suffered severe repercussions for what they did.
    Their records are unblemished.

    In relation to this comment below from Jon Revulsky, I’d like to elaborate on my situation (which you may not be aware of Tippy Toe – even though I’ve mentioned it in UR on several occasions in the past):

    Of course, the question does remain …. whether somebody can bear witness anonymously.

    We all know why Jon Revulsky wants us to furnish our real names. Of course it’s so that he can relay that info to his ADL/B’nai B’rith handlers.
    In my case, I live in a country that does not have U.S style First Amendment freedom of speech protections – not that I would use my real name even if I was in America (seeing as your constitution is routinely violated and those that expose ZOG’s activities often suffer repercussions).

    Just think about how ridiculous Revulsky’s demand is. I recall that, in response to Revulsky’s prodding in a thread some years ago, I relented and told him my real name was:
    Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani Mohammed Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum – or AahrMrBsam for short. (Easier to say if your speech inflections are in pirate mode).

    Now, that may or may not be my real name. The fact is, I could make up ANY name I chose (just like the malignant Jew Mordechai Moshe Baruch Shlongstein, who uses the handle Patrick McNally in the UR WWII, Holohoax, 9/11 threads, to deflect attention away from the fact that he has a Talmudic dog in the race).
    There’s no way Revulsky would know for sure one way or the other.
    I mean, I’m not into social media, I don’t have a Facebook or LinkedIn page, I don’t do Twitter etc.
    What next?
    Would Revulsky then demand that I posted my Drivers Licence and/or birth, marriage certificates?

    Importantly, in relation to the matters I assert on the 9/11 False Flag, to the extent that I have been able to see further, it is because I have been able to stand on the shoulders of giants.
    I am just a GO BETWEEN, nothing more than the MESSENGER, who has relayed the info I’ve obtained from the Goliaths in the 9/11 Truth Movement.
    And I have no hesitation is naming the bulk of those NAMES. (Some of my sources will not be revealed – I respect their request for anonymity).
    I post countless video presentations and links to articles featuring those individuals like Christopher Bollyn and USMC Lt Col. (ret) Field McConnell, who are saying EXACTLY those things that I’ve posted in my UR commentary.

    If Revulsky has a grievance with anything I write, he should be attacking those individuals I’ve drawn my info from.
    But he’ll never do that. He’s GUTLESS.

    Let’s just take the example of USMC Lt-Col. Field McConnell. This man is a LEGEND amongst the White Hats and Whistle blowers in the USG/Military and Intel agencies (esp. within the military – where he has iconic status).
    That’s why he’s been furnished with a deluge of info from these White hats on what really happened on 9/11 and the alleged* disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370 in 2014.

    (*This is not just my opinion. The eff’n government of Malaysia contacted Field McConnell after MH370 disappeared and invited him to Malaysia, so that he could tell them what happened to their plane.
    Well, McConnell accepted. He travelled to Malaysia and told them. He ALSO told them that if their government did not reveal to the world what happened to MH370, that they could expect another of their planes to go down within a few months).

    Well, the Malaysian government did not expose the crime to the world, and MH17 was shot down by Ukrainian military aircraft on orders from the Anglo Zionist empire hierarchy.

    Incidentally, for those that haven’t seen me mention this before (not that I’m the only one – seeing as there are other well informed and honest UR contributors that have said the same thing), MH370 did not crash in the Indian Ocean as alleged by the corrupt ZOG owned MSM.

    Like the four real aircraft with real passengers and crew on the day of 9/11 that were alleged to have crashed (none of which did – they were hijacked using BUAP technology and landed elsewhere), MH370 was electronically commandeered and landed safely at the U.S base of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
    The passengers and crew have not been seen alive in the interim, so it’s a safe bet to assume they were all murdered.

    USMC Lt-Col (ret) Field McConnell is the undisputed number one source of truth in the world on the disappearance of MH370, and likewise on the 9/11 False Flag.
    He is a true American hero.
    If we lived in just world, he’d be getting Charles Lindbergh style ticker tape parades in every city of the U.S for the next 20 years, for his service to the country – and the world.

    Meanwhile, getting back to where I was before, Revulsky won’t challenge my calculations for the 767 drone that struck WTC2 Vs the lightweight slow moving B-25 that impacted with the Empire State Building in 1945.

    NO ONE HAS CHALLENGED MY KINETIC ENERGY CALCULATIONS (successfully) for the drone Boeing 767 Vs the B-25 that I’ve posted numerous times before in UR threads over several years.

    That’s because those calculations are rock solid – checked and verified. I’ve dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s.

    NIST:

    The global collapse occurred with few external signs and is postulated to have occurred with the failure of core columns

    4 windows fail at floor 40

    Thanks for the sources for additional information on 911; I will look into them.

    This is a comment I received from littlereddot about the Malaysian flights:

    In 2011, Malaysia, fed up that West based institutions refused to prosecute Bush Jr and Blair for their 2003 invasion of Iraq, convened their own war crimes court of 7 judges. In it, both Bs were convicted in absentia of Unlawful Invasion of Iraq.

    In 2012, the same court convicted Cheney, Rumsfeld etc of torture in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay.

    In 2013, the same Malaysian court convicted Israel of genocide of the Palestinian people.

    These were merely symbolic trials and had no real teeth. But many people around the world were agreeing with it. Western MSM kept mostly silent, but the Powers That Be were clearly not pleased. … so what happened in 2014?

    Within 4 months, Malaysia lost 2 airliners. One mysteriously disappeared over the Indian Ocean (I speculate that it was headed to the US/UK military outpost of Diego Garcia), and the other was shot down over Ukraine….Which the Hague convicted Russia of doing….WTF?

    Note that the Malaysians had not lost an airliner for 20 years prior to these 2 incidents, nor 9 years since. Yet they lost 2 aircraft in the space of 4 months. It is highly suspicious, I think you would agree.

    Needless to say, this court has not functioned since.

    @Tiptoethrutulips

    Is it considered “wafer thin” compared to the construction materials or specs on the base/lower floors?

    Only if you want to play word games, and certainly not by anyone reasonably literate who knows what a wafer is, i.e.

    a thin crisp cake or cracker … a round thin piece of bread …

    …and is also reasonably knowledgeable about the construction of the former Twin Towers.

    In plain language, there was nothing “wafer thin” about the construction of the former Twin Towers in the World Trade Center, or its facade, other than the ornamental aluminum cladding, which had no role in supporting the buildings.

    But let me embellish the point so you won’t be tempted to continue offering comfort, support and wriggle-room to the plane-hugger crowd, which at UR includes known venomous liars and indefatigable blowhards whose seeming main purpose here is to obfuscate the facts with torrents of nonsense, while discrediting sincere 9/11 truthers.

    Promoting red herrings like nukes in the basement, missile-firing drones, Edna Citron, and a “wafer-thin” construction at the WTC is territory for trolls, not truthers.

    Wafers have just two surfaces and some wafers are also rather brittle. They are dainty little tidbits of finger food usually nibbled individually rather than gobbled by the handful. If you can raise your little finger while nibbling on a wafer, so much the better. Of course, you would break your teeth on a steel wafer, no matter how thin, so keep that in mind when choosing snacks.

    By contrast, box columns on the TT were rather stout structures with four sides made of steel plate, at least 1/4″ thick, that was indeed much thicker toward the base, as should be obvious, along with the corollary observation that the lighter upper floors could no way crush the heavier lower floors, another of the nonsensical arguments that resurfaces from time to time from random individuals, ostensibly merely ignorant, who stagger in here babbling hooey.

    However, typical body armor made from 1/4″ steel plate is capable of stopping most small-arms fire, and bullets are never made from aluminum. Some body armor is made from steel plates as thin as 0.197″. I suppose somebody might call that “wafer thin” in relation to thicker, heavier body armor, but again, body armor has just two sides and two surfaces, while box columns, by their nature, have four sides and eight surfaces. (Actually even more if you count the edges. All rectangular solids including plates have six faces, or surfaces.)

    To conclude this analysis of what should be obvious, “wafer-thin” is an inaccurate and entirely misleading way to portray or describe box columns constructed from four 1/4″ steel plates.

    The “wafer thin” mis-desciption is misinformation intended to encourage mistaken beliefs about the apparent ease with which the image of the jetliner slid into and “right through” the image of the building, and the lack of any visible reaction from either, just like everybody saw it on the boob tube.

    The preponderance of evidence is that humans readily lie.

    I’ve posted several comments in UR over the years on the fate of those two Malaysian Airline planes and their relationship to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal from late 2013.

    The one in the link below is from a year ago in a thread authored by Dr Kevin Barrett:

    Having said that, there’s a ton of info there for your edification and enlightenment.

    Does this apply to your commentary?

    Whilst it’s good advice, in general, as we can’t all be everywhere all at once, it’s impractical.

    It seems to me the actual witnesses, including the victims in the building, many of whom made telephone calls which were recorded, were a bit clueless about what was happening. In most cases, the majority of witnesses view a crash site upon hearing the crash, after which they look. The witnesses who watch as it happens are fewer in number.

    I did hear a few callers say that a plane hit the building; did anyone actually say they saw/recognized the plane debris inside the towers?

    Only if you want to play word games, and certainly not by anyone reasonably literate who knows what a wafer is, i.e. – a thin crisp cake or cracker … a round thin piece of bread …

    There is no need for your hostility, and don’t be ridiculous. Is a person described as wafer-thin meant to mean they look like a cracker? Everyone knows what he means – comparatively, the upper floors were significantly lighter in mass than the mid-lower floors, and no one believes there was no real substance to the materials holding the top of the building together.

    Promoting red herrings like nukes in the basement,

    Is that what they say? Wouldn’t there be detectable radiation? Can you visually discern the difference in the aftermath of a nuclear weapon vs. an incendiary bomb? Are the images of vehicles that seem to have melted fakes?

    You seem to be suggesting that the various anomalies of 911 are easily explained and there’s only one true answer, which is yours, I guess, and because others seem to think there are perhaps multiple explanations, such as drones and CGI/doctored images, well, they’re just a bunch of idiots, who actually believe the upper floors were constructed with Ritz crackers. Based on your commentary herein, I’m not exactly sure what you believe happened; I’ll go back through it later.

    Of course, you would break your teeth on a steel wafer

    In point of fact, you can break a tooth on a Corn Nut.

    Of course, the question does remain …. whether somebody can bear witness anonymously.

    We all know why Jon Revulsky wants us to furnish our real names.

    Well, you can choose to be anonymous. I’m simply making the point that anonymous speech is what it is: there is no real, identifiable person standing by what he says. So, you can’t go into a courtroom and testify anonymously. Such testimony has no value… if one can even call it “testimony”. So, when I ask you to provide me the names of people who witnessed the plane crash into the building and you are trotting out “names” like “Old Philosopher” or “Unnamed Black Dude”…

    You can’t even claim that these people are witholding their names out of fear of retaliation or whatever. Someboy who says he saw a plane hit a building is upholding the official story, so why should that person be afraid of saying who he is???

    Now, granted, as for you, even if you signed your name to what you write, it would still be worthless crap, like this story that some 767 was rigged for remote control and flown into the building. AND it was specially “souped up” to be able to fly faster at low altitude than any stock passenger jet. AND this plane somehow can fire missiles! AND it fired a missile at the exact right point at the building where it would impact a split second later, so as to ease its entry into the building…

    I mean, this story is far worse than the magic bullet story in the JFK case. The proponents of the magic bullet, that, on that fateful day, via some ricocheting trajectory, caused 7 wounds on two different people, are not claiming that the magic bullet was part of some plan they thought up beforehand! Presumably, it just somehow happened. (If you are willing to believe that…) Your story, of the specially rigged plane that fires a missile at the building a split specond before impacting the building… in that story, that is presumably their plan!!! Sheesh.

    And this moron “PhysicistDave” actually thinks you are some sort of representative of 9/11 Truth, instead of what you obviously are, some plant who is here to make 9/11 Truth look ludicrous. Of course, there is no sign that Ron Unz even understands that that is what you are.

    Actually, what I object to about the anonymity is mostly just that you feel free to attack me personally, bringing up my family background and things like this, while concealing your own identity. That is really quite improper. You (and Unz) would understand that if you were not such a moral imbecile.

  600. @Rurik

    Rest in Peace, Edna

    At some point, I tried to look into this Edna Cintron. I could not find the slightest evidence that this is a real person. “Cintron” is her married name. I set myself the task of figuring out what Edna’s maiden name was.

    I couldn’t find it. That is very strange because any genuine married woman who dies typically has her maiden name also on the obituary. It is to be expected that a married woman’s death notice would also include her maiden name for a very simple reason. People who knew her before she was married, but lost touch, like childhood friends, would have no way of knowing that this was the person they knew back when if they don’t have the maiden name.

    I ask the following question, though I am pretty sure of the answer: did you make any attempt to verify the reality of this Edna Cintron person?

  601. Here’s an excerpt of Kevin Westley’s video synched with Michael Hezarkhani’s.
    Maybe it’s just a wrong subjective impression, but the difference in position of the vegetation in the two videos, relative to the buildings behind it (watch from 21 seconds onwards) seems to be a lot greater than the difference in the angle of shooting.

  602. @Tiptoethrutulips

    You’re reading things into what I wrote that I did not say, or even mean to say… I was simply making the point that some anonymous person on a forum like this saying that he witnessed the plane hit the building — this just has ZERO evidentiary value.

    So, based on internet commentary, you correctly deduced that I’m a white woman.

    Actually, I never did make that deduction. I wasn’t paying attention sufficiently. I suppose I could have deduced that, but it’s actually irrelevant. It’s like one of TV’s “witnesses” to the plane crash, “Unnamed Black Dude”. It would hardly matter if he was “Unnamed Mexican Guy” or whatever else. It simply makes no difference.

    Never once do you concede that a wafer is nothing like a box column

    Seriously?

    A wafer, a cookie, a cracker, a Corn Nut – is nothing like a box column. I’m fairly certain a Gingerbread House could not withstand a breach by a flying object/projectile, such as a plane or a bullet. So, you win this little tiff, Sparky.

    but almost always do when chewing or biting on anything made of steel, which sometimes happens from an errant bite on a fork or stray shot in roasted game birds,

    Do people often clamp down on steel objects? A cursory search through various dental health sites revealed the top culprits for breakage of reasonably healthy teeth:

    Popcorn, nuts, bones, ice, fruit pits, hard breads, hard candy….no wafers, no bird-shot, no forks, no box columns.

    I have bitten into a duck breast with bird shot, and I’ve been shot, as well (bird shot) – no broken/cracked teeth, nor hospitalization. I’m not denying that pellets don’t injure teeth, but most people who eat game birds are aware of the possibility of pellets, so they take care. People chewing on Corn Nuts are often surprised by the damage.

    you’ve already outed yourself by catering to and promoting known liars and blowhards

    Whatever shall I do? My intention all along was to agree with everyone on TUR except The BolshevikPretzel, CorvinusLaPere, and Gelding.

  604. @Jonathan Revusky

    In defense of Rurik’s comment, he made a casual mention of a woman appearing in video footage waving from the damaged tower; in fact, he admitted to not knowing/remembering her name, if I remember correctly.

    The woman in the photo was apparently seen falling, and no survivor has come forward to claim identity, so his comment is accurate and apropos.

    Now, the first thing I did, after reviewing the posts, was to look for her and/or information on her, and I also had a rather strange result.

    I found reports that indicated Edna Cintron was a port authority officer, and I found reports that claim she worked for a private firm. I read reports that indicated a person named Edna called emergency services from the tower, and remained on the line for 20 minutes describing the events as they occurred. I searched for the transcripts or the recording of her conversation with emergency, but thus far I have found nothing.

    I do note that she appeared to be grasping those steel columns/materials that were to have basically turned to noodles due to excessive heat. At what point did the noodling begin?

    You’re reading things into what I wrote that I did not say, or even mean to say

    My comment regarding White Woman was mostly in jest; no offense intended, and no offense taken.

    ‘…I ask the following question, though I am pretty sure of the answer: did you make any attempt to verify the reality of this Edna Cintron person?’

    Let’s reverse the argument. Assume this was all dreamed up by the incredibly duplicitous, skillful, utterly unscrupulous Black Hand.

    NIST:

    The first major structural subsystem was the exterior framing, which was a vertical square tube that consisted of 236 narrow columns, 59 on each face from the 10th floor to the 107th floor (Figure 3). There were fewer, wider-spaced columns below the 7th floor to accommodate doorways. There were also columns on alternate stories at each of the beveled corners, but these did not carry gravity loads. Each column on floor 10 to 107 was fabricated by welding four steel plates to form a tall box, nominally 0.36 m (14 in) on a side. The space between the steel columns was 0.66 m (26 in), with a framed plate glass window in each gap.
    Adjacent columns were connected at each floor by steel spandrel plates, 1.3 m (52 in) high. The upper parts of the buildings had less wind load and building mass to support. Thus, on higher floors, the thickness of the steel plates making up the columns decreased, becoming as thin as 6 mm (¼ in) near the top down from as thick as 76 mm (3 in) at the lower floors. There were 10 grades of steel used for the columns and spandrels, with yield strengths ranging from 248 MPa (36 ksi) to 690 MPa (100 ksi). The grade of steel used in each location was dictated by the calculated stresses due to the gravity and wind loads.
    The end.

    Ok, Sparky – we have a differential of about 1,100%, if my math is correct, if the thickness in the plates of the upper columns is 1/4” compared to 3” in the lower columns; and there’s the issue of the gradation of steel – you wanna do the math on the extent of the disparity between 248 MPa – 690 MPa?

    I’m fairly certain I can find a cracker or a cookie that’s 1/4” thick, maybe, but 3” thick? Not even a biscuit is that thick (3”), and I make them all the time; maybe a cinnamon roll? Looks like TV was not really all that hyperbolic.

    Do you know what I notice about the portions of the NIST reports that I’ve read? All vanilla, no chocolate.

    I see you could not even play by the rules of your own game, but instead couldn’t wait to double-down on your mistaken beliefs, offering a quote from NIST, sans proper formatting, that merely confirms what many of us already knew, i.e. the Twin Towers were heavier near their bases, and lighter toward their tops, but nowhere in the Twin Towers was any of the construction “wafer thin,” which is an imprecise term anyway meant to encourage the mistaken belief that a mostly aluminum jetliner really could just fly right through that “wafer thin” steel.

    Your baking has nothing to do with it, but let’s hope nobody breaks a tooth on your cookies, however thick or wafer-thin they might be.

    So let’s see what a little comparative analysis will show about the question of agents causing damage to teeth.

    Using the search argument “Damaged tooth X,” where X is the tooth breaker, Google gives these results, in million of returns:

    Steel shot – 16.1
    Hard candy – 12.4
    Spoon – 11.5
    Fork – 9.68
    Corn nuts – 5.87
    Fruit pit – 5.6
    Walnut shell – 4.0

    Thin wafer – 1.26*

    * As far as I can tell from a quick look, there are no real returns at all for teeth damaged by biting into thin wafers. Those 1.26 million returns are related to wafer-thin veneers applied to damaged or disfigured teeth.

    Dental veneers … are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to change your appearance.

    https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/veneers

    So setting aside all the distractions, red herrings, tooth and cookie talk, here’s my challenge again, which is directly related to the question of a mostly aluminum-alloy jetliner flying right through the mostly steel facade of the Twin Towers as seen on television..

    Show me any real-world experiment or demonstration where aluminum cuts through that “wafer-thin” 0.25″ steel.

    > The global collapse occurred with few external signs and is postulated to have occurred with the failure of core columns

    That stuff about the core columns is NIST’s preferred model for the collapse. I don’t pretend to have any detailed model of the collapse, since I’m not an engineer. The photographs of Building 7, such as the one I mentioned shown on page 17, or the ones showing fires going on pages 22 & 23,

    https://web.archive.org/web/20050620102542/http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/WTC%20Part%20IIC%20-%20WTC%207%20Collapse%20Final.pdf

    should be enough to show a reasonable person that the building had suffered damage as a result of the collapses of the Twin Towers. Taking into account that no attempt throughout the day to save Building 7, it’s hardly a shock that the building was expected to collapse by the end of the day. No real attempt was made to save Building 7 by stopping fires, because there was enough going on elsewhere. The building was allowed to burn, with the damage done to its southwest corner, and then people forecast that it would come down.

    If you want to simply argue that NIST is wrong in emphasizing the failure of the core columns, then feel free to do that. I have no hard opinion on that either way. But it’s clear that there is nothing strange about people having predicted the collapse.

    did you make any attempt to verify the reality of this Edna Cintron person?

    No, I didn’t.

    It was enough that I saw the woman in the video. I knew a lot of people had died that day, and when I did discover her name, it was simply a bit more sad, but it didn’t change the fact of what I saw, (that yes, even tho I’m very cynical and skeptical, I considered those videos authentic).

    Due to “Patric McNally’s” comment, I did a search and found this

    https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5849485/edna-cintron

    for what it’s worth, because I seriously doubt that, or anything else would change your mind as to the veracity or authenticity of all the photos and videos or the existance of Edna herself, as you’d just dismiss it all as CGI fakes, or lies – like presumably, the info in the website linked above.

    Since you asked in a courteous way, I’m not saying that to be snide. Just pointing out what I, (and probably others) think your answer would be, if we asked you if you thought all the video of Edna and all the rest was faked. Isn’t that why you asked? Because your position is that all the photos and videos and even Edna herself, is all fake?

    One of the interesting things, that I think some others have touched on, is why produce several faked photos and videos of Edna, standing there, when her very existence is detrimental to the official narrative, that the steel was so hot that it lost it’s integrity, and failed. But if Edna could stand there, then obviously it wasn’t so terribly hot.

    Why create a fake person, and produce faked videos of her standing in the smoking hole, when doing so might undermine your whole scenario?

    Just food for thought..

    that merely confirms what many of us already knew, i.e. the Twin Towers were heavier near their bases, and lighter toward their tops

    Was that the argument? No, it was not. You’ve got your knickers in a twist over a metaphor – wafer thin – as if the average reader takes the phrase literally. With a 1,100% differential, a 1/4” plate is accurately described as wafer thin in comparison to a 3” plate. Good grief.

    Your baking has nothing to do with it

    You finally wrote something accurate and not ridiculous.

    Using the search argument “Damaged tooth X,” where X is the tooth breaker, Google gives these results, in million of returns: Steel shot – 16.1….

    What is the point here? Are you seriously suggesting that steel shot is the most common cause of tooth injury in, I don’t know, first world nations, all because I didn’t initially concede that steel plates and wafers/crackers were truly dissimilar? In any case, your flat wrong – sure, people get their teeth shot out or chomped out by steel shot more than –

    What is the cause of the majority of dental injuries?
    Accidents, such as falls, car wrecks and sports-related injuries are the main cause of traumatic dental injuries. [Cleveland Clinic]

    Sports accidents are the most common cause of tooth injuries. [Rochester Advanced Dentistry]

    Or, Corn Nuts, ice, bones, etc.; why don’t you conduct an office or neighborhood poll? How many will answer bird shot or steel plates? I bet zero. Let us all know….

    Show me any real-world experiment or demonstration where aluminum cuts through that “wafer-thin” 0.25″ steel.

    How could I possibly do this? I have already stated I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m certain the official narrative is absolutely false.

    Please direct me to the report/analysis of the plane/flying object debris/wreckage, wherein the material used in construction of same was duly analyzed. Was it aluminum, titanium, steel, or other alloys? I don’t know. I don’t think WE know, do we? What is it, exactly, that you know for certain?

    Assuming you have all your teeth, go ahead and grab a 1/4” thick slab of beef, and a 3” thick slab, grill it up and get to chompin’. Can you bite through the 1/4” steak in one quick chomp, almost as if it was a cracker or a wafer? Can you do the same for the 3” steak? Let us all know….

    Tiptoethrutulips played dumb and asked:

    What game?

    After you had said:

    You go first; offer a subject for debate, besides 911, and let’s see.

    You claimed

    …no wafers, no bird-shot, no forks, no box columns.

    And I showed you hard data indicating that steel bird shot appears to be the #1 Google search argument for broken teeth from objects that are chewed or bitten down on, which was the issue, not broken teeth from fist fights, car wrecks, or other facial trauma, but nice try moving the goalposts without conceding you were wrong.

    Chewing on steel is a bad idea and a good way to break your teeth. Steel is very hard and strong, which is why it is used for construction of buildings, bridges, and battle tanks. Unfortunately, it is far too heavy to be of much use building airplanes, where instead, much lighter and much more fragile aluminum and its alloys are used.

    Those relatively lightweight materials are strong enough to withstand the air, wind, rain and not much else. Even a big bird like a goose or an eagle can puncture the thin, fragile skin of a jetliner, and even running into anything on the ground while taxiing at very low speed usually puts the airplane out of service, so it should be perfectly clear that it is entirely nonsensical to think that same fragile, aluminum-skinned jetliner could have flown through the steel box columns of the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

    And so I challenged you, or anyone else:

    Show me any real-world experiment or demonstration where aluminum cuts through that “wafer-thin” 0.25″ steel.

    You replied:

    How could I possibly do this?

    You can’t, and that’s the point. You shouldn’t have opened your mouth to defend TV who thinks aluminum can cut through steel. He wrote:

    The 767 drone had more than enough K.E to punch through the wafer thin facade of the WTC as found on the upper floors.

    That’s what this is all about, and here’s where I’m going to leave it:

    Aluminum can’t cut through steel.

    Jetliners couldn’t possibly have penetrated completely into or through the Twin Towers on 9/11, nor have left their cutouts in the mostly steel facades of those massive skyscrapers, nor have magically disappeared after all that cutting and penetration.

    The videos showing jetliners seeming to do all that on 9/11 are demonstrably fake.

    Pretzel. No one claims that the buildings surrounding the two towers sustained no damage from the collapses.

    But it’s clear that there is nothing strange about people having predicted the collapse.

    You mean people like Larry Silverstein? Yes, it was not a strange prediction for those with foreknowledge, such as those rogue site engineers running amok.

    should be enough to show a reasonable person that the building had suffered damage as a result of the collapses of the Twin Towers

    Speaking of reason, Bras Cubas, if you’re reading, be careful with The BolshevikPretzel, as he obscures mountains of truth with millions of mole/matza hills (Is that a simile, Sparky? Please don’t explain that moles don’t dig in matza….) and, why are you thanking and agreeing with my enemies? (Haha!)

    Check out these matza-hills –

    It is indisputably true that the official report on Building 7 says the support columns did NOT collapse simultaneously. It repeatedly says the building’s collapse began with the collapse of support column 79 near the north-east corner of the building. When that column collapsed, it’s collapse propagated to nearby support columns, which in turn dragged down further neighboring columns, creating a wave of collapse that travelled the length of the building. “Each north-south line of three core columns then buckled in succession from east to west.” (p.22)
    […]
    It is indisputably true that videos of Building 7’s collapse show no wave of collapse traveling the length of the building. Instead they show the opposite, a simultaneous collapse of both ends of the building.

    “The symmetry is the smoking gun”, says metalurgic engineer Kathy McGrade in a concise, yet thorough 15 minute documentary prepared by an organization of professional architects and engineers (at 6:20 of the video).

    NIST:

    4.3.4 Structural Response and Collapse

    At Column 79, heating and expansion of the floor beams in the northeast corner caused the loss of connection between the column and the key girder. Additional factors that contributed to the failure of the critical north-south girder were (1) the absence of shear studs that would have provided lateral restraint and (2) the one-sided framing of the east floor beams that allowed the beams to push laterally on the girders, due to thermal expansion of the beams.
    The fires thermally weakened Floors 8 to 14. As Floor 13 fell onto the floor below, a cascade of floor failures continued until the damage reached the massive Floor 5 slab, leaving Column 79 without lateral support for nine floors. The long unsupported length of Column 79 led to its buckling failure.
    Hypothetical blast events did not play a role in the collapse of WTC 7. NIST concluded that blast events could not have occurred, and found no evidence whose explanation required invocation of a blast event…
    The end.

    Building 7 eyewitnesses:

    Richard Rotanz, Deputy Director, Office of Emergency Management (on camera statement)
    “There was an elevator car, that was blown out of the shaft, and it was down the hall….”

    Michael Hess – “I was up in the emergency management center… and when all the power went out in the building, another gentleman and I walked down to the eighth floor, where there was an explosion, and we’ve been trapped on the eighth floor….”

    Barry Jennings, City Housing Department – “Well, me and Mr. Hess…were on the 23rd floor, I told him, we gotta get outta here….we made it to the 8th floor, big explosion blew us back into the 8th floor…. I was trapped in there for several hours, I was trapped in there both buildings came down, all this time I’m hearing all types of explosions, all this time I’m hearing explosions….”

    Smithsonian Magazine – Meilan Solly, Associate Editor, History – September 08, 2021

    Following the tragedies that took place on September 11, 2001, curators at the Smithsonian Institution recognized the urgency of documenting this unprecedented moment in American history. After Congress designated the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History as the official repository for all related objects, photographs and documents, staff focused their attention on three areas: the attacks themselves, first responders and recovery efforts. As time passed, curators expanded their purview to include the nation’s response to the tragedy, recording 9/11’s reverberations across the country.

    C-SPAN:
    In December, 2001, Congress designated the Smithsonian American History Museum as the national repository of September 11 collections.

    §46a. Employment of aliens by Secretary (Federal mandate directory Smithsonian)
    The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, subject to adequate security and other investigations as he may determine to be appropriate, and subject further to a prior determination by him that no qualified United States citizen is available for the particular position involved, is authorized to employ and compensate aliens in a scientific or technical capacity at authorized rates of compensation without regard to statutory provisions prohibiting payment of compensation to aliens.

    Within hours of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the Library of Congress mobilized its efforts to collect and preserve the nation’s memory of those tragic events.

    So, do you suppose the top job at the Smithsonian belongs to a Jewish person? Well, it does not – it belongs to a black man.

  615. As long as the 9/11 theories won’t go away, another reason to be skeptical of at least the ‘gigantic plot’ variety has occurred to me.

    Immediately after the event, I noticed all these agencies that had been playing footsies with the Islamic fundamentalists for various realpolitik reasons hastily denying everything. It was like when you pull the stove out from the wall and all the cockroaches suddenly scuttle for cover. ‘Oh shit!’

    It was just a vague impression, and of course it’s not conclusive — but it’s another way in which the huge conspiracy version of 9/11 doesn’t add up. Surely, had the various dark forces been aware of what was about to happen, they would have taken care to ensure nothing at all linked them to al Qaeda. ‘Nothing to do with us. No sirree.’

    Is a debate a game?

    Please provide the specific source/dental/health organization that reported bird shot was the most common cause of tooth injury. This is what you wrote: “Of course, you would break your teeth on a steel wafer..,” and I wrote…”a Corn Nut!”…and you wrote, “Never once do you concede that a wafer is nothing like a box column… nor that people only rarely break any teeth on Corn Nuts, but almost always do when chewing or biting on anything made of steel….”

    So, I conceded that wafers/cookies/crackers were nothing like steel box columns, and I also said people don’t often chew on steel shot, and I hereby concede that steel shot, or anything made of steel, in general, is more likely to damage a tooth during chomping than a Corn Nut, a wafer, a cracker, an ice cube…however, I stand by my assertion that the latter items, including the aforementioned accidents/sports injuries, etc., are the primary causes of tooth breakage in first world nations. I was not arguing that wafers, or Corn Nuts, etc., were the equivalent in hardness of steel shot. This little spat is getting absurd.

    Tiptoethrutulips played dumb and asked:

    Well, what do you expect from someone who believes you believe that TV believes, and he tried to convince everyone, that the upper floors of the WTC were fortified with Ritz Crackers?

    Aluminum can’t cut through steel.

    Jetliners couldn’t possibly have penetrated completely into or through the Twin Towers on 9/11, nor have left their cutouts in the mostly steel facades of those massive skyscrapers, nor have magically disappeared after all that cutting and penetration.

    The videos showing jetliners seeming to do all that on 9/11 are demonstrably fake.

    I agree with all of this. I searched for audio recordings of the calls made by people in the towers to learn if anyone saw plane debris; I found nothing of that nature, but “Edna”, standing within the cutout, was reported to have been on the phone with emergency services for twenty minutes, yet the audio has disappeared. So, it wasn’t passenger jets that flew into the towers, maybe drones and a little CGI, and you find that hypothesis outlandish or foolish?

    Show me any real-world experiment or demonstration where aluminum cuts through that “wafer-thin” 0.25″ steel.

    Sparkie, we’ve already gone over this, but you buried your head in the sand because that explanation didn’t fit in with your ‘No Planes’ narrative. (ie: that you’re prepared to take with you to the grave – no matter what evidence is presented).
    Lt-Col. Field McConnell and Christopher Bollyn, have already explained that a DU equipped missile was fired by the heavily modified 767 drone(s) that eventually impacted with the WTC towers.
    Said missiles enabled easy ingress of the fuselage of those planes.

    Meanwhile, for the purpose of weight saving, and thus enabling better fuel efficiency, the fuselage of all commercial and light aircraft is made of flimsy aluminium.
    As explained to you in several previous 9/11 threads, it mattered not whether the fuselage crumpled up on impact or not. What matters is what was contained WITHIN said fuselage.
    ie: a typical 767 commercial aircraft will have the bulky and heavy avionics contained within the cockpit, the lavatory fittings, the galley for food preparation etc.
    And last, but certainly most, the extremely robust/bulky/heavy landing gear (and all the associated hydraulics) that retracts into the body of the plane when it’s airborne:

    So UR readers, let me use the following analogy which will serve the purpose of explaining what a high speed impact of a fast moving (near that of a speeding bullet) thin skinned aircraft, would have with a skyscraper.
    Let’s suppose I had an egg, and instead of the usual contents contained within, I had a one inch diameter lead sphere rolling around in the yolk.
    I will project that ‘egg’ at high speed (say around 600 mph – like the 767 drone that impacted with WTC 2), against a solid two feet thick brick wall, and claim that the ‘egg’ will punch a hole in that wall.
    Sparkie will respond with:

    ‘No way that will happen !! Are you stupid? The egg will crumple into nothingness upon impact.
    The ‘egg’ will just splatter on the exterior of the wall and slide down its face. Thereafter the debris from said egg will be found at the base of the wall’.

    Actual Outcome: The exterior egg shell does indeed crumple as Sparkie suggested.
    BUT the lead sphere within (possessing enormous Kinetic Energy), punches right through that wall like a hot knife through butter, and indeed punches right through the other side of the building as well (just like that white hot ember of the DU missile punched through the other other side of WTC2 in that Christopher Bollyn video I’ve posted numerous times).

    UR readers, you’re all a pretty smart bunch (No Planes Nutters aside), and thus you’ll have instantly spotted the exact analogy of what I’ve said above with the actual impact of those two drones that struck the WTC towers on 9/11.
    Yet, for some reason unbeknownst to the rest of us, the No Planes Nutters just can’t absorb that easy-to-understand example.

    It’s indicative of how desperate you are Sparkie, in your efforts to locate some scintilla of fault with anything I say, that you have to dwell endlessly on the meaning of the word ‘wafer thin’, in the context I used it to describe the quarter inch thick structural members found in the exoskeleton of the WTC in the upper floors.
    Of course, as Tippy Toe lady has explained, and as all the other UR readers already worked out, what I asserted meant wafer thin RELATIVE to the lower sections of the WTC towers, which were infinitely more robust.

    Meanwhile, courtesy of my good friend Rurik, who I’ve learnt much from over the years in relation to the 9/11 False Flag (and other ZOG orchestrated crimes), we have this video of a ping pong ball punching a nice round hole in a ping pong bat (35 sec video):

    SUMMARY: Kinetic Energy (the ‘Energy of Motion’), is truly an awe inspiring phenomenon.
    Given sufficient velocity, just about anything can be made to penetrate anything else.

    You should spend some time learning about it Sparkie. Get cracking, because right now you’re clueless.

    FACT: Bldg 7 (WTC7) suffered NEGLIGIBLE DAMAGE due to debris from the WTC towers that were blown up.
    WTC7 eventually was brought down in a pre-planned controlled demolition at 5.20pm.
    Isolated fired that had been burning on a few floors earlier in the afternoon had LONG BEFORE burned themselves out and were extinguished.

    Shlomo McNally also writes:

    But it’s clear that there is nothing strange about people having predicted the collapse.

    It is abundantly CLEAR to all non ADL/B’nai B’rith/ZOG affiliated individuals, that THERE WAS NO REASON WHY WTC 7 SHOULD HAVE COLLAPSED.
    It’s collapse (absent the obvious reason of it having been brought down intentionally), is IMPOSSIBLE.
    Meanwhile, take a look at the following layout of the buildings on the day of 9/11:

    As you can see, BUILDINGS 5 and 6 of the WTC complex lay BETWEEN the WTC towers and WTC7, and thus SHIELDED IT from the bulk of any falling debris.
    If that wasn’t enough, there was a ROADWAY (Vesey St) in between.

  620. the wildly misnamed Truth Vigilante on numerous occasions has told slanderous lies about me at Unz Review, repeatedly posting a video of someone at Walmart, and falsely claiming it was I.

    Firstly UR readers, a bit of background.
    Even though Sparkie was handed a mountain of evidence during the Covid Psyop that demonstrated face masks (incl. the N95), were useless at preventing transmission of an airborne virus that can be measured in microns, Sparkie still insisted that he had to wear his mask all the time (because the wise overlords in Big Gubmint/the corrupt health bureaucracies – like Tony Fauci – insisted that he do so).

    With that in mind, I posted this 3 min video featuring two individuals, that exhibited all the hypochondriac characteristics of Sparkie, and his penchant for following orders from those gubmint officials that were decreed to be his betters:

    SUMMARY: I don’t know for certain whether that is Sparkie in the first part of the video (taking photos of a minor), or the busy body in the second part of the video (or perhaps neither of them?).

    All I know is that Sparkie exhibits all the characteristic of these two Covid snitches, and that he is unable to change his mind when confronted by an avalanche of evidence that emphatically proves he’s wrong in his initial assertion on some matter.

    There was a time when I thought I knew everything about 9/11 (after the first few thousand hours of research I’d done on it).
    But after ending up with egg on my face on several occasions, I learnt a lesson in humility. The learning process never ends. And with every embarrassment I suffered, I had to amend or purge entirely assumptions I’d previously held that didn’t fit in with the facts.

    UR readers will be aware that I purposely provoke other UR contributors that have opposing views. You see, I want them to work harder to prove me wrong.
    And when I’m proven wrong, I will thank them – as I’ve done to several individuals in UR over recent years. Because that way I will be one step closer to the truth.
    I don’t want to live a lie, I don’t want to cling to a falsehood or a hypothesis that I once believed with every fibre in my body, to only find out later that the evidence emphatically refuted it.

    But Sparkie, like Jim Fetzer (who I’m exchanging words with right now in another thread – as I have done in the past), is the type that will stick with a belief and take it to the grave, no matter the evidence that contradicts it.
    Not good Sparkie. You don’t progress with that attitude.

    Well, I can tell you that, something like a year or two years ago at most, I took some interest in this Edna Cintron and, since she was married and Cintron was her married name, I tried to figure out what here maiden name was. It was impossible to figure out. But now it comes up, go figure.

    She is not the only case. I had earlier taken an interest in another 9/11 victim, Katherine Wolf, who was married to a guy named Charles Wolf. She was originally from Wales. It was simply impossible to figure out her maiden name. Just impossible, certainly in 2021 or 2022. Later, some stuff appeared and it appears that her maiden name was “James”. They still haven’t fixed her findagrave.com page. See:

    https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5968770/katherine-susan-wolf

    Strange. How often does a married woman’s obituary lack the maiden name? A married woman’s death notice really has to have the maiden name because, otherwise, people who knew the person before she was married, like childhood friends would have no way of knowing that this was the person they knew.

    But that there were all these married women as victims, who seemingly had no maiden name… well that shows you just how sloppy the 9/11 criminals were. Well, that, but also that they could get away with this even so. There is essentially zero investigative journalism to get to the bottom of these things.

    Well, it’s still an ongoing project, so they seem to have put some effort into cleaning up their screw-ups here and there, as in this Edna Cintron case. I can certainly tell you that, as of less than 2 years ago, it was simply impossible to figure out Edna’s maiden name. So, okay, at some point, they decided that her maiden name was Troche, no? Well, I’m quite certain that if you set yourself the project of trying to find out who were parents were or any siblings etcetera, it would be total fail. She’s still a total cipher, I’m sure.

    Oh, regarding that findagrave.com site as being so authoritative, what do you make of this page for Ron Unz’s late sister, Betty Unz?

    https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/188665234/betty-ann-unz

    Well, it is authentic, surely. You can see the family resemblance, no?

    Anyway, look, what you really seem to not understand about this situation is that when I say with a pretty high degree of confidence that Edna Cintron is not a real person, just as when I say that Betty Ong is not real, or the aforementioned Katherine James Wolf is not real, it is because I really investigated this and came to that conclusion.

    When I say the Cologne 2016 New Years event is simply a hoax, it is the result of carefully investigating it. It’s not just this kind of reasoning like: “Well, these people are telling this story and why would they lie?”

    But really, actually investigating anything is, as I said above, not part of your job descriptions, so…

    Why create a fake person, and produce faked videos of her standing in the smoking hole, when doing so might undermine your whole scenario?

    Yeah, okay, the whole thing must be truthful. Why would the 9/11 criminals ever construct a fraud?

    Well, look, just starting on first priciples, this whole thing is primarily a psy-op, a psychological manipulation, and these are pieces of it — the lady standing in the hole, or the jumpers…

    But, really, it finally occurs to me that all of this conversation is illustrative of the way 9/11 pseudo-truthers operate. To simply reject out of hand the very possibility of:

    (a) video fakery (Yeah, man, the video of the plane just sliding in, disappearing inside a steel-framed building, that’s real, it’s just crazy to think there is any fakery)

    (b) fake victims (Yeah, Betty Ong, Edna Cintron and the rest of them are all real people. There is no need to verify any of this, like look for any birth records or try to figure out what a married woman’s maiden name was and other basic things… we have to take all this at face value…)

    Of course, the purpose of this whole 9/11 pseudo-truther playbook is to cover for the criminals. They certainly don’t want anybody seriously investigating this, so you have a pseudo-investigation in which video fakery and fake victims are all off the table. The real purpose is to run out the clock so that the criminals behind this can die of old age in their beds.

    I see no good evidence at all for drones, only wild speculation in capital letters, so I disagree specifically on that point.

    Fair enough, but we are all speculating to a certain degree, and the official narrative is the wild fabrication, yet….

    Surely you must know…. the wildly misnamed Truth Vigilante…has told slanderous lies about me at Unz Review, repeatedly posting a video of someone at Walmart, and falsely claiming it was I.

    I did not know; upon reading your accusation, I thought TV doesn’t seem the type to “out” someone.

    So I know TV can’t be on the level, or he/she/it would never stoop to such craven and mendacious behavior in a desperate attempt to discredit me.

    Pardon me for speaking/writing on the issue between you two, but I watched the video he posted in rebuttal, and I must say – surely you realize he is teasing you? He is yanking your chain, and you rise to the occasion. I doubt anyone actually believed that was you in the videos, or an actual physical representation of you, nor would his posting of same in any way discredit you, as ultimately, you will be judged for what you write, not for the barbs fired at you. Some may judge you for the manner in which you respond to those barbs.

    The Walmart Guy was hilarious, and that video is funny. I also refused to wear a mask, and only one man ever confronted me. He yelled at me from across a store; I just told him to mind his own damn business or else I would hop over and start coughing all over him, as I was not vaccinated. Of course, I usually have a dog with me, and on this day I brought the mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback hound, so he chose silence. I would have been tempted to sic the dog on Walmart Guy, just for a second or two….(just a little chase)

    I have to ask, assuming TV accurately described your position on Covid/masks, if they can pull off a stunt like 911, and certainly in the manner which you believe they did, why would you then believe the Covid nonsense?

  626. I thought TV doesn’t seem the type to “out” someone.

    Well, I don’t know about that, but he (or he/she/it/they) is definitely the type to tell endless lies. He continually repeats this nonsense that there were tens of thousands (or was it hundreds of thousands) of people who witnessed directly, in real-time, a plane smacking into a building.

    I’ve investigated this question and I think one can state with confidence that there most certainly are not thousands of eyewitnesses to this.

    When challenged to name some of these eyewitnesses (should be easy, no?) he obviously could not come up with anything and then started saying that “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude” (from some video he linked) were an example of eyewitnesses.

    But again, the fact of the matter really is that there is just about no credible witness who claims to have seen a plane hit a building on 9/11. One researcher did come up with something like 20 names, but every last one of them worked for either the mainstream media or the government. Go figure… This is a factual question. Rather than concede this simple, straightforward point, he resorts to all sorts of insults and accusations, from behind a mask of anonymity.

    To be frank, I am hardly 100% certain that you are for real. But, assuming that you are, you really shouldn’t be wasting any time/energy defending some anonymous dirtbag like this TV, who is really, quite obviously, some sort of professional shill. Actually, all you have to do is look at the volume of his posting to this forum to realize that this is almost certainly his full-time activity.

    He continually repeats this nonsense that there were tens of thousands (or was it hundreds of thousands) of people who witnessed directly, in real-time, a plane

    I think he writes/says what he believes is true. I don’t recall the specific number he tells, but there does appear to be many people claiming to have seen planes. I absolutely believe some of these “witnesses” were plants, like My Lord Guy, but it’s impossible that they could all be stooges, and interestingly enough, seemingly key information just disappears. I absolutely read from multiple sources that a woman named Edna called emergency services to relay real-time information for twenty minutes, but I can’t find the audio recording, although recordings of multiple callers are available for those who mostly report they were trapped and had no idea what happened.

    The Pentagon was clearly hit with something other than a plane/flying object; so, every surveillance/security camera in the area was malfunctioning, or off, which is ridiculous on its face, but downtown NY is too densely populated with residents, workers, tourists, to make such a clumsy attempt at Tom Foolery, but they managed to pull it off at the Pentagon, which speaks volumes about their ability to obfuscate and eliminate/disappear contrary evidence. Their power is rather frightening, but I just don’t think they would take such a risk with the towers. Having said that, I don’t believe the video of the tower literally absorbing the plane is real footage.

    To be frank, I am hardly 100% certain that you are for real.

    As opposed to some sort of bot? Anonymous technology is spooky, but I think the tells of imposters are obvious.

    People make the time for whatever is important to them. I read UNZ and a few other alternative media sites for about ten years with nary a comment made and only a few read; I didn’t have the time, with kids at home, nor the inclination. A minor, but extremely painful injury, and a recent empty nest changed my circumstances, however it was the very fact that commenters revealed the greatest volume of pertinent information, either through references to source material or personal experiences and stories, that compelled me to throw in. I found Unz via a comment on Breitbart News. In real life, these controversial conversations can lead to serious arguments/frays, and very few people can argue politics, religion, and certainly “The Jews,” without getting seriously offended, so this forum works best. I speak frankly to those closest to me however, and sometimes to those not so close, as it seems to be getting more dangerous to keep silent. But, I do believe in decorum, so there’s that; sometimes you must wait until people are seeking information, otherwise they shut down.

    It also seems to me, “full time contrarians” are deployed mostly by the anti-old order proponents, as that is part of their proclaimed strategy. The old-order crew are mostly busy with work, running their business, their kids, their parents, their life, etc., to devote significant time to combatting the new narrative, or even trying to find out what in the world is really going on, and it looks as if that is our undoing. I wish I had been more vigilant/aware at a younger age. That said, I have three mobile devices and I mostly read books online these days, several from the Unz digital library, so toggling over to commentary has become a habit which has benefited my world view/knowlegde tremendously. So, here I am. Often and still. And real.

    Immediately after the event, I noticed all these agencies that had been playing footsies with the Islamic fundamentalists for various realpolitik reasons hastily denying everything.

    Surely, had the various dark forces been aware of what was about to happen, they would have taken care to ensure nothing at all linked them to al Qaeda. ‘Nothing to do with us. No sirree.’

    can you be more specific

    I tried, but I really don’t know who these agencies making nice with al Qaeda might have been.

    but it’s another way in which the huge conspiracy version of 9/11 doesn’t add up.

    which huge conspiracy?

    the one where a man in a cave in Afghanistan, gets nineteen terrorists to hijack four planes, shuts down SAC-NORAD while they fly them around over several states for an hour or so, and then fly one into the Pentagon – leaving only a small round hole, another crashes and utterly vaporizes, leaving no trace of the jet or its contents, and the other two crash into the WTC, where they then cause the two towers to self-pulverize into a fine powder, and a third building to implode into its basement at free-fall speed.

    wouldn’t you characterize such as a “huge conspiracy”, that a thoughtful person might even be “skeptical” about?

    Particularly as it accomplishes exactly what the necons at the PNAC had envisioned and advocated, a “new Pearl Harbor-like event’, that would be used to outrage, and then stampede the American people into endless wars for Israel.

    Did you ever consider the ‘cui bono’ aspects of this event?

    Was it all just a nice coincidence for the Jewish supremacist PTB – who controlled the Bush regime and the media, in absolute terms? And whose penchant for murderous false flag attacks has been well-established. Particularly their ability to absolutely control the narrative coming out of the White House and the media.

    Of course I’ve considered the cui bono aspects of it.

    As I’ve said, it’s a provable fact Israel was implicated — to what extent isn’t clear. Was it merely looking on benignly, holding al Qaeda’s hand and shielding them from investigation, actually planting beacons to guide the aircraft?

    Somewhere in that range. However, Arab Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists really did hijack the planes and at least get them headed for their targets. Of that I am equally confident.

    More flamboyant theories fail on the grounds of ‘why.’ Why pick such a Rube-Goldbergesque way of doing it all — fraught with potential for embarrassing boo-boos and missteps? Why frigging planes at all? Why not just blow up the buildings and plant the desired evidence?

    Well, why is that? After all, you’ve seen all kinds of fictitious individuals in videos.

    it wasn’t the woman’s identiy that I considered authentic, but rather all the videos and photographs of the damage with her standing there, all taken from different angles and so forth, that I don’t think they could have faked. Also, why fake stuff that hurts their narrative, and not fake stuff that would have helped their narrative. If it’s so easy, why not fake the plane flying into the Pentagon? Why not fake the towers collapsing minus the squibs and molten steel- that hurt their narrative. Why not fake a plane hitting Building 7? When, according to you and others, is soooo easy to do.

    But now it comes up, go figure.

    so Edna Cintron’s obituary, (because you couldn’t find it before), is just more proof that she was fake?

    (a) video fakery (Yeah, man, the video of the plane just sliding in, disappearing inside a steel-framed building, that’s real, it’s just crazy to think there is any fakery)

    it looks fake

    because the poor video resolution makes the side of the building look like a solid surface, when it isn’t. And then you have lying assholes repeating the lie that ‘aluminum doesn’t slice though steel’, because of the wing tips that *look*, (from a distance) like they sliced through steel, but it was only the thin aluminum cladding, not the steel. But even now, when we all know that was a lie, the no-planes cult keeps lying about it. What does that tell you, eh?

    (b) fake victims (Yeah, Betty Ong, Edna Cintron and the rest

    whatever her name was, there was a woman standing there. There were people falling from the towers, the towers collapsed into powder, Building 7 imploded.

    It’s funny, because you’ll dismiss all of it, as CGI fakes, but then why fake Building 7?

    Like Edna, Building 7 is damning to their narrative, but you dismiss that and anything else that is inconvenient to your narrative, as more clever psyops, being perpetrated and spread by paid agents like myself.

    There’s no real evidence that he ever predicted a collapse. People like to cite the interview which he did several months after the event where uses the phrase “pull it!” But that interview is most likely just an example of how people inflate the importance of their role retroactively. But this is more pertinent:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20021221190935/https://www.firehouse.com/terrorist/911/magazine/gz/boyle.html

    We went one block north over to Greenwich and then headed south. There was an engine company there, right at the corner. It was right underneath building 7 and it was still burning at the time. They had a hose in operation, but you could tell there was no pressure. It was barely making it across the street. Building 6 was fully involved and it was hitting the sidewalk across the street. I told the guys to wait up…

    Then we received an order from Fellini, we’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didn’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasn’t really keen on the idea. Then this other officer I’m standing next to said, that building doesn’t look straight. So I’m standing there. I’m looking at the building. It didn’t look right, but, well, we’ll go in, we’ll see.

    Captain Chris Boyle is describing the water shortages which affected the attempts to stop fires in Building 7. Given that there was such a limited capacity for containing the fire, it’s not surprising that a collapse eventually occurred. It’s unnecessary to lean on Silverstein’s ambiguous statement for that.

    So we go there and on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good.

    But they had a hoseline operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventually they pulled back too. Then we received an order from Fellini, we’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didn’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasn’t really keen on the idea.

    Boyle is describing how a lack of pressure in the hose, reflecting water shortage, made it impossible to stop fires in a region which looked like a hole in the building. Nothing about that scenario makes it inexplicable that a collapse would eventually occur.

    I think he writes/says what he believes is true.

    Why do you believe that? I don’t.

    For example, specifically, in this comment, TV (in response to you, I just realized!) writes:

    Yes, the leading 9/11 researchers on the planet say that the 767 drones (that impacted with the WYC towers) were modified to enable forward firing ordnance and that they fired a DU missile a fraction of a second before impact to enable a smooth ingress of the fuselage into the building.

    Do you believe that TV really believes that this is what happened? That he says the above in good faith???

    But, really, why are you here trying to vouch for some individual that you do not know, who is participating anonymously? It’s like you think that this is somehow like the local Rotary Club or Parent-Teacher Association in whatever town you live in… i.e., that you can just assume, by default, that people are basically okay. But this is not like that at all. This is an environment that is infested with professional trolls. Do you not understand this?

    I don’t recall the specific number he tells, but there does appear to be many people claiming to have seen planes.

    Well, what do you mean by “many people”? How many? Do these people have names?

    Obviously, I mean real names, not “Old Philosopher” or “Unnamed Black Dude”… How many people really are there who claim that they saw a plane hit a building in real-time?

    The answer does not have to be exact, by the way. Just roughly how many?

    …I think the tells of imposters are obvious.

    Well, I’ve participated here off and on for the better part of a decade at this point and it actually took me a good while to figure out just how infested with shills this environment is. Maybe you are more perceptive, but it doesn’t seem like it. You really ought to realize that a lot of these participants are just professional trolls. They will represent that they are genuine 9/11 Truth people but their purpose is mostly just to take the conversation round and round in circles. Just off the top of my head… “Truth Vigilante”, “Rurik”, “Been there, done that”, “Patrick McNally”, “Colin Wright”, “Mr. Anon”, these are troll accounts, but that’s just off the top of my head. There are plenty of others….

    This “Rurik” entity had me fooled for a good while. For a while (at least a year) I even thought he was basically an okay dude. Eventually I realized he was a total asshole, but even then, I did not peg him as a professional troll. I finally realized what a phony he was not so long ago, maybe a year or two ago, when he casually referred to having taken a trip to “Scandinavia”. That bugged me, it sounded so strange to me and it dawned on me that no normal person would ever say that. They would just say they were in Sweden or Norway or wherever it was. I guess he was handed some talking point about what he had observed in Scandinavia and was not quite bright enough to realize that he was supposed to replace that with an actual country. So that is an example of a dead giveaway, where one of these troll entities just uses language in such a weird way that you see this for what it is. Well, I was also sensitized to it, because previously, one of these troll accounts, “Oilcan Floyd” referred to his wife being from Scandinavia.

    That said, I have three mobile devices and I mostly read books online these days, several from the Unz digital library, so toggling over to commentary has become a habit which has benefited my world view/knowlegde tremendously. So, here I am. Often and still. And real.

    Well, you do seem like a genuine person, but as I said, I don’t know for sure. But you do seem to have a severe handicap. It seems like you are one of these people who just hates being told anything. I was aware of that when writing the above, because I was aware that I was trying to tell you something in the full knowledge that you are one of these people who hates being told anything. In fact, you seemingly hate it so much that you react by becoming excessively abrasive, sarcastic…. And that is probably main reason for the communication breakdown with Sparkon.

    But, look, when I tell you pointedly that you really shouldn’t be defending the character of some obvious troll like TV, whom you do not personally know, but more importantly, has already revealed himself many times over to be a chronic liar and overall scumbag…. when I tell you this, maybe (just maaaybeee) you should just calmly consider what I’m saying rather than get into some knee-jerk sarcasm.

    Just think about it… Do you really believe that TV considers “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude” to be legitimate witnesses? Does he really think (even after it is pointed out to him how problematic it is) that he thinks that Kevin Westley (“Oh, my Lord”…) vouching for the authenticity of his own video has some evidentiary value???? Or is he just mouthing off in this pathetic way to avoid conceding the point? (the real underlying point being that this is all just some edifice of flim-flam….)

    Just think about it and when you’ve thought about it, get back to us, hopefully without the sarcasm and verbal games… (that so alienated Sparkon, for example…)

    As I’ve said, it’s a provable fact Israel was implicated — to what extent isn’t clear. Was it merely looking on benignly, holding al Qaeda’s hand and shielding them from investigation, actually planting beacons to guide the aircraft?

    thanks for the reply

    do you think Building 7 collapsed the way it did because of office fires and some exterior damage?

    Somewhere in that range. However, Arab Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists really did hijack the planes and at least get them headed for their targets. Of that I am equally confident.

    I suppose that could be. We saw video of a couple of them getting on a plane, (I think), and there was the passport, of course.

    Why frigging planes at all?

    because just blowing up the buildings would not have had enough psychological effect. Most people in fly-over country despise New Yorkers anyways. Many would have thought ‘good riddance’. I’m betting there is a very large swath of Americans that wish Russia or China or Iran, (or all of them, or at least somebody) would nuke NYC and Washington, DC off the face of the planet. Hopefully with congress in session, with all the lobbyists swarming ZOG’s capital.

    So it had to hit them, (the American people) viscerally. We’ve all flown on commercial jets. We’ve all known of family members, and our children and extended families’ children, and people we love, flying on commercial jets. And the very idea of plowing these jets, full of fellow Americans and children

    and (back then) nice stewardesses and pilots and so forth, and blowing them up in horrific fireballs, and with it, the iconic Americana experience of flying being safe… would strike just the right chords that ZOG was looking for. That’s why they played the video of the jet crashing in and exploding, over and over and over… And within hours, we all knew it was evil Muslim terrorists, who did it.

    Cui bono?

    And who had the means, to pull if off? Who had control of SAC-NORAD, and could order a stand-down.

    Not Osama, that’s for sure.

    But Building 7 is the smoking gun, at least for most of us here, ‘planes/no-planes, some Muslims, / no Muslims, nukes, DEW, whatever. We all agree that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. That Larry Silverstein was close friends with Netanyahoo, that all the people closely involved in its planning and orchestration were all Zionist Jews. And that the people charged with the cover up, (the Bush administration and the media) were all either Jewish supremacists, or those subservient to Jewish supremacists, like Bush and Cheney and the CIA, FBI, NSA, et al..

    fwiw

    Nothing about that scenario makes it inexplicable that a collapse would eventually occur.

    How many modern steel frame buildings have been condemned since 9/11 due to an office fire?

    Since according to you, an office fire and some exterior damage would lead any sensible person to conclude that it would eventually implode into its basement at free-fall speed.

    How many did that formerly, or since? Any?

    No?

    Isn’t that curious, that the only time it’s ever happened in history, or since 9/11, was just that one miraculous time, when it wasn’t just predicted by news agencies, but we were even given an explanation for why it collapsed, (“incredibly structurally damaged”), *before* it collapsed.

    And then of course, the evidence of this modern miracle, was all shipped off and melted down before it could be investigated.

    Nothing curious about that, eh?

  642. @Rurik

    it wasn’t the woman’s identiy that I considered authentic, but rather all the videos and photographs of the damage with her standing there, all taken from different angles and so forth, that I don’t think they could have faked.

    Yah dee dah…. Look, there are things that you don’t have to have attended Stanford or Harvard or wherever to know. Like, everybody knows that everybody has a name. Furthermore, everybody knows that married woman who took on her husband’s surname, also has a maiden name. Everybody knows this, even high school dropouts, even illiterate people…

    So, for one thing, when you ask that asshole “Truth Vigilante” to give you some names of people who saw the plane hit the building in real-time, everybody understands that the answer is not supposed to be “Old Philosopher” or “Unnamed Black Dude”. Right???

    And everybody understands that if this Edna is Edna Cintron because she married some dude named William Cintron, she also must have a maiden name. It now appears that her maiden name was “Troche”. Yet somehow, for twenty years after her alleged death, she had no maiden name. It was impossible to find. I guess you think there’s nothing at all strange about that.

    Well, anyway, the topic of this Edna came up on Cluesforum various times and most of the discussion is from quite a while ago, like 2008 to 2011 or thereabouts. People, who were probably in some cases quite a bit more thorough than myself, looked into this and reported back that they could find nothing on this person. No birth/death record, no record of residence or any of that. Just a cipher… you know, like Betty Ong. For example, here is a post from 2010 that details the results of some investigation into some of the more notorious victims. Excerpt:

    NO DEATH RECORDS TO BE FOUND for 10 out of 14
    Out of these 10, six appear to be simply non-existent.
    ( deceased namesakes can be found ? but none dated 9/11/ 2001)

    1. Mark Bingham – NOTHING FOUND
    ( 5 deceased namesakes found – none in 2001 )
    2. John A. Ogonowski- NOTHING FOUND
    ( 1 deceased namesake found – not in 2001)
    3. Thomas Edward Burnett – NOTHING FOUND
    ( 1 deceased namesake found – on 3/28/ 2001)
    4. Brad Fetchet – NOTHING FOUND
    ( none deceased in 2001- but 2 living namesakes found in Lewisburg,PA )
    5. Edna Cintron – NOTHING FOUND
    ( none deceased in 2001- but 9 living namesakes found around the USA ! )
    6. Berinthia “Berry” Berenson – NOTHING FOUND
    ( 15 “Berenson’s” died in 2001 – no Berry or Berinthia )

    The first dubious victim on the above list is Mark Bingham, remember him? Hi, mom, this is Mark Binghame. That guy. NOTHING FOUND. Edna Cintron. NOTHING FOUND.

    No public records in any database seemingly. Of course, one could argue that they don’t find anyting because whatever public records should be for “Edna Troche”, which would have been her name before she was married. But they did not know her maiden name. In fact, I can tell you that her maiden name was nowhere to be found as little as a couple of years ago. But, okay, a married woman’s maiden name is unknown for 20 years after her death but somehow is rediscovered (un-memory-holed or whatever). Happens all the time, I guess….

    Now, okay, I cannot vouch for who carried out the above research, I don’t personally know these people, but look…. I would be very surprised if you set yourself the task of finding anything real about Edna Cintron and came to a different result, i.e. NOTHING FOUND. Admittedly, if you did it now, you would be armed with her maiden name, Edna Troche, so maybe you could find something. I did a bit of cursory searching and could find nothing. If you think you can find something, go ahead and try.

    But, okay, so it’s impossible to insert the image of this woman (or some woman…) into whatever photo or video, so this person, identified as Edna Cintron (later Edna Troche Cintron because her maiden name got rediscovered) was really there standing in a hole. Must be…

    it looks fake

    because the poor video resolution makes the side of the building look like a solid surface, when it isn’t.

    Well…. I think it looks fake because it is fake. But okay, I guess I’m a simple-minded guy. I also think that people have names and that married women all have a maiden name…

    whatever her name was, there was a woman standing there.

    Well, if there was a woman standing there, she did have a name, I guess. Like, I dunno, maybe “Office Slut #1138”?

    But, actually, I don’t think there was any woman standing there. It’s just inserted.

    There were people falling from the towers, the towers collapsed into powder, Building 7 imploded.

    Well, nobody (certainly not me) is disputing that the buildings were demolished. As for the people falling from the towers, I’m hardly sure about that. Probably not… The jumpers are part of the overall trauma-based mind control agenda, most likely.

    But Edna Cintron (or Edna Troche Cintron) does not seem to be a real person. That would seem to suggest that she was not standing in a hole there.

    But all of this conversation is strange. Why would a self-styled 9/11 Truther get so emotionally invested in defending practically every last detail of the official story? I mean most of it anyway… the plane crashes, the jumpers, Edna Cintron looking out of the hole…. It doesn’t make any sense…

    But, finally, that’s the reason that you and Truth Vigilante (and a bunch of other phony truthers) really must be operators. C’mon, nobody is that obtuse.

    Sources for the study of the [implosion via heat/fire induced simultaneous, parallel, global failures with no blast event] are at once rare and unreliable….

    The accusation is not that he predicted the collapse; the accusation is that he had unusual foreknowledge. The man admitted, on camera/audio, he told The Anonymous Fire Chief to Pull it! I don’t give a rat’s ass if he was peacocking; he said what he said. Only a BolshevikPretzel would say pull it is of no significance with regard to a modern building that implodes into its own footprint in seconds due to fire for the first time in history.

    What does water shortages have to do with anything? That building was NOT ablaze when it collapsed. Did a fire blow an elevator car out of the shaft and down the hall? Were the two witnesses trapped on the 8th floor lying about the explosions they heard.

    It’s necessary to lean on deliberate obtuseness and incessant obfuscation to state your position/opinion on Building 7, Pretzel.

    You could have checked my comment history about COVID and masks, and easily gotten it straight from me, in my own words, so that is not your real purpose here

    I don’t typically review comment history unless I’m looking for specific information for reference from previous conversations or reading.

    Why would I review your history when it’s likely your opinion in 2020 has evolved?

    You could have just answered my question.

    But as I say, you have already squandered your credibility with me, several times over, and so I don’t really care what you think.

    I think you overestimate your ability to gauge the credibility of commenters, in general, and certainly after a brief exchange which included absurd tit-for-tat banter that served no real purpose other than entertainment, but on which you clearly placed quite a bit of significance for some strange reason, and I’m sorry to have let you down; if I ever come across a statement of yours for which I am in absolute agreement, I’ll be sure to chime in to offer support.

  646. @Rurik

    I agree that building 7 is the most problematical element of the official story. Is that where the plane that the hijackers lost control of was really headed?

    But I tend to focus more on the Israeli aspect. My concern isn’t so much with ‘what’ — go at that hammer and tongs, for all I care — it’s ‘who’ and ‘why.’ From that point of view, I’m disinclined to go down the rabbit hole of the mechanics of the whole thing.

    Somewhat incongruously, it’s kind of like when David Irving admitted he had found actual evidence that the Holocaust had really occurred. It was like ‘look, I’m not going to argue about the fatality of diesel exhaust and so on. Right here I see proof that the Germans offed 2.5 million Jews in this interval, in these places. That’s the critical bit as far as I’m concerned.’

    So Building 7? Way above my pay grade. But let’s talk about Israel. Isn’t their degree of involvement more significant?

    It seems like you are one of these people who just hates being told anything… I was trying to tell you something in the full knowledge that you are one of these people who hates being told anything…you seemingly hate it so much that you react by becoming excessively abrasive, sarcastic

    I thought comment #636 was quite reasonable, respectful, and sarcasm free. I guess not enough to redeem myself with a commenter with whom my comment history spans 7-10 days?

    If you mean to converse with people you deem unreasonable then you may need to adjust your strategy/technique.

    No, I don’t like to lose an argument, which is why I don’t argue over subjects about which I know nothing or understand very little. I have repeatedly said that I have made a limited study on 911, and I am seeking answers, however I have studied enough to draw a few conclusions and push-back on assertions I find unlikely.

    Yes, I am a smart-aleck, but good grief – have you noticed the language on these threads? I am seriously in the minor leagues with the insult/curses factor.

    Why do you believe that?

    Because I have corresponded with him previously, and I have read his commentary on various subject matter on other threads, beyond the scope of 7-10 days, and I find him credible. I don’t follow his exchanges with everyone on everything, but on this thread, I’m on team TV.

    But, really, why are you here trying to vouch for some individual that you do not know, who is participating anonymously?

    Well, in point of fact, I don’t know you, yet that circumstance seems inapplicable to your intended influence on me.

    You seem to be using the issue of anonymity as a cudgel against the credibility of commenters, AS IF – revisionist historians, or average outspoken anti-narrative speakers/texters/tweeters/writers, are not/have not been murdered, attacked, hospitalized, politically/professionally/socially ruined, fired, demoted, threatened, so on…..after doing so publicly.

    Now, you have a website accompanying your moniker, and I will go ahead and assume that you are using your genuine name/identity, however if your outspoken remarks in opposition to the official narrative have drawn no ire, criticism, hostility, threats, condemnation from the “enemies,” perhaps they care not for what it is you are asserting, as they do not see your version/explanation of events as a viable threat to the narrative, or maybe they view you as the kooky purveyor of the conspiracy theory that they prefer receives the lion’s share of attention, or maybe you are the one who is not “genuine?” I’m speculating wildly, here….

    Well, what do you mean by “many people”?

    Many people requires no special explanation, and it certainly doesn’t within the context of my statement. I don’t know how many random interviews were aired over the course of many days on and after 911, but I estimate I’ve watched at least fifty. In my previous post to Pretzel, I named three eyewitnesses regarding building 7 and the towers; here’s another – Craig Bartmer, First Responder, another, Kevin McPadden, First Responder…they also challenge the official story.

    Apparently, there’s a Task Force compilation of statements from firefighters; maybe I’ll get around to it before it disappears.

    Just think about it and when you’ve thought about it, get back to us, hopefully without the sarcasm and verbal games… (that so alienated Sparkon, for example…)

    Well, well well…you criticize me for defending TV, yet you coddle Sparky because I alienated him with my quick wit? You do realize that he chastised me for “feminine ridiculousness” over the inability to kill a mouse, which was our first ever correspondence, which I handled rather well, in my opinion. Sparky threw down the gauntlet of “if you think you can spar with me, go ahead and try it little lady,” and then he petered out. If you think I can’t sling a 1,000-2,000 word rebuttal/argument of substance, think again – just ask Pretzel.

    In fact, it is only you and Sparky who have ever accused me of disingenuous, which I find strange. I’ve been accused of being a lot of things on UNZ – mostly a racist, a Nazi, a mendacious bitch (by Franny), a vestibule of wickedness for admiring Hitler and long-haired, tall, blonde German/English musicians, whilst teasing the Great Buddha (Poupon), and caring not for the Untermensch, who keep invading, raping and killing White women in the western world (CorvinusLaPere), but I’ve never been accused of being unable to sustain or prevail in an argument, nor accused of backing down from one, nor of being unfairly/unreasonable hostile to anyone.

    but their purpose is mostly just to take the conversation round and round in circles. Just off the top of my head…..Patrick McNally

    I’m less offended by The BolshevikPretzel than I am by your comments, which probably horrifies the Pretzel. But, in truth, I’m not genuinely offended by you, nor Sparky, but for the purpose of this thread/argument, let’s just say that I am.

    Scroll up to the video I posted in comment # 288 in this thread, and watch the 4 mins from 1:16:00 – 1:20:00, where you’ll see for yourself that THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THE 19 MUSLIMS THAT WRE ALLEGED TO BE THE HIJACKERS, WERE SEEN AT ANY OF THOSE AIRPORTS WHERE THE FOUR PLANES INVOLVED IN 9/11 DEPARTED.

    ie: they were not seen/filmed at the check-ins, getting a boarding pass, moving through the lounge areas, getting a snack, visiting the Duty Free stores etc.

    There is NOTHING to suggest that ANY of them were at the airports in question on the day of 9/11.
    All videos that do show some of these Muslims at U.S airports are NOT date stamped and could have been taken from any airport they’d visited in the previous 12 months prior to 9/11.

    Uhh, look, first of all, I asked you a couple of focussed questions regarding this “Truth Vigilante” troll account.

    1. In a response to you, TV said that the plane fired a missile a split second before itself impacting the building, according to him, to ease its entry into the building. Do you believe that TV said this in good faith? Like he really believes that? (Or was he just trolling?)

    2. TV has repeatedly claimed that many thousands of people saw the plane hit the building directly in real-time (i.e. NOT on the TV). I asked him for some names of these people and he gave me “names” like “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude”. Do you think that TV really believes that that is a legitimate answer to my question? (Or was he just trolling?)

    What I note, now, more about your modus operandi is that you evade very basic questions like the two questions I pose above, and then you have this classic move in your playbook that you try to turn the conversation into being about the other person. In this actual case, the conversation between the two of us, that is actually very improper, because you are participating anonymously, while I am using my actual name and showing my face to the world. But, anyway, we can’t continue like this. Could you please address the two questions above?

    Because I have corresponded with him previously, and I have read his commentary on various subject matter on other threads, beyond the scope of 7-10 days, and I find him credible. I don’t follow his exchanges with everyone on everything, but on this thread, I’m on team TV.

    Well, one thing I have realized in my life is that self-observation is very problematic. (And, yes, that applies to me as well!) As such, it is very hard, nigh impossible, to get somebody to see how bizarre their own behavior is. This “I’m on team TV” statement… Certainly, from my point of view, that is really very bizarre, given just how obvious it is (to me!) that this is just a troll acccount. The two examples I gave above, that you seemingly avoid addressing, would seem to constitute ample evidence that this is just a troll.

    Well, to be clear about this, I’m not even exactly reproaching you for being fooled by this kind of troll account. I made a point of saying that I have been fooled in the past and thought that some troll was really a genuine participant. But here, we have a situation, where I am pointedly asking you certain questions to get you to see something. And basically, your answer boils down to saying that you are fooled by the troll account because you have decided to be fooled by the troll account. It’s like if we were in the desert and there is the well known mirage, it looks like there is a lake in the distance. (There is no lake, it’s an optical illusion.) If I try, via some sort of reasoning process, to get you to understand the situation, and your answer is just to ignore whatever point I am bringing up and just adamantly insist that you infinite wisdom, have decided that there is a lake there…

    Well, I don’t know if you see my point, or (more likely) you’re going to affect that you can’t see my point. Still, you could surprise me by actually engaging in what I’m saying. In particular, you could address points 1 and 2 at the top of this message.

    Many people requires no special explanation, and it certainly doesn’t within the context of my statement.

    I’m sorry. The above just seems like pathetic blather to me. When one says “many people” claim they saw a plane hit a building directly in real-time, it is quite natural to ask what you mean by “many people”. As I pointed out, one researcher, Allan Weisbecker, tried to answer this question, really did some research on it. He came up with 20 names of people who are on record claiming that they saw the plane hit the building. I guess one of those 20 is Mark Walsh, a.k.a. “Harley guy”, who is generally considered one of the most blatant, obvious false witnesses in this event, and that’s saying something! Apparently, every last one of those 20 people worked for either the media or the government.

    Now, if I said that “many people” saw the plane hit the building on television, and you asked me what I meant by “many people”, I would not hesitate to answer. Hundreds of millions… billions… The obvious answer. So, when you say “many people” claim to have seen this directly, in real-time, you obviously cannot mean “many people” relative to the number who saw it on television, because even if it was, as TV (falsely) claims, many thousands that is STILL an exremely small number of people relatively speaking, compared to the many MILLIONS or BILLIONS who saw it on the TV. But the number of direct witnesses does not seem to be in the thousands. It’s a much lower number.

    In any case, this is an evasion, isn’t it? There’s no need to clarify, even approximately, what is meant by “many people”. Of course there is a need! (Or maybe it depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is…)

    I don’t know how many random interviews were aired over the course of many days on and after 911, but I estimate I’ve watched at least fifty.

    So you’ve seen fifty videos of people claiming that they saw a plane smack into a building in real-time? I haven’t. Certainly not fifty videos of identifiable people with a name… I don’t think so…. In any case, in a context where hundreds of millions or billions of people saw this on the TV, even assuming there are 50 people claiming to have seen it in real-time, it doesn’t really strike me that this would be “many people”. But, you know, the other strange thing about this kind of conversation is the seeming inability of people to see a problem with all this. I mean, the people who insist on the reality of these plane crashes are basically telling you that they got hundreds of millions of people to see the plane crashes via the TV, but they had to mount this operation of flying planes into buildings for real for the benefit of maybe a few dozen random nobodies on the ground…. Isn’t that very strange? Even if the number of witnesses was fifty (I don’t believe that, but just for the sake of argument) wouldn’t it be very cost-ineffective to fly planes into buildings for real so that that number of people could say they saw something? I mean, as opposed to just paying some false witnesses to say whatever… especially when hundreds of millions or billions saw it on the TV….

    In my previous post to Pretzel, I named three eyewitnesses regarding building 7 and the towers; here’s another – Craig Bartmer, First Responder, another, Kevin McPadden, First Responder…they also challenge the official story.

    I’m not sure what your point is. I don’t recall ever seeing those two names before. But fine. Did those two individual claim that they saw a plane smack into a building directly in real-time? Oh, and rereading, you say there are three eyewitnesses, and here are another two, thus 5 people I guess, but you say that this is regarding building 7 and the twin towers… I really thought the issue at hand was the plane hitting the building and TV’s claim that there were many thousands of people who witnessed this directly. (You know, like “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude”…)

    As for the rest of your comment, it is very strange and seemingly has nothing to do with anything we were discussing, but I can’t help but ask for clarification of a point. When you write:

    caring not for the Untermensch, who keep invading, raping and killing White women in the western world (CorvinusLaPere)

    What are you saying here? Are you expressing your own belief that the “Untermenschen” are raping and killing White women all over the place? Or are you referring to something some other poster said, this “CorvinusLaPere” (who I am not familiar with)? I would think it must be the latter, no? But I can’t tell from what you wrote.

    Of course, that is just deranged nonsense. White women are not being raped and killed all over the place in the western world. Well, sure, of course, some poor woman is raped here and there, but…

    But why are you even talking about this stuff anyway? Were we talking about this?

    I think you should really address the two points I bring up at the top of this message.

    Hi Sparkon. It’s a funny thing. For some reason, I believed that this Tiptoethrutulips commenter was a real person — or, more precisely, I decided to operate on that hypothesis. And I thought that was more probable.

    Now, I’ve looked more closely at this entitity’s commenting record and interactions and it seems completely obvious that thi is just a stroll account. The novel thing here is that this is the first time that I have seriously suspected that I was interacting with some sort of AI bot. Not that I’m expressing any certainty about this, but I also can’t reject the possibility. I was just looking more carefully at this post that you are replying to here. (And that I also replied to.)

    I wrote a long reply, but somehow, in the middle of writing it, I suddenly had this twinge of doubt that I was even replying to a real human being. I started looking at what I was replying to more closely and, for one thing, it is striking the way there is just zero engagement with anything I was really saying. For example, towards the end of that post, tulips writes this sentence:

    I’ve been accused of being a lot of things on UNZ – mostly a racist, a Nazi, a mendacious bitch (by Franny), a vestibule of wickedness for admiring Hitler and long-haired, tall, blonde German/English musicians, whilst teasing the Great Buddha (Poupon), and caring not for the Untermensch, who keep invading, raping and killing White women in the western world (CorvinusLaPere), but I’ve never been accused of being unable to sustain or prevail in an argument, nor accused of backing down from one, nor of being unfairly/unreasonable hostile to anyone.

    All of that is a single sentence. Talk about a word salad. Did a human being sit down and actually compose that sentence? Well, okay, I guess that’s still the most likely hypothesis. But still…. aside from the incoherent babbling, it is rather strange because it is not even remotely a response to anything that I said, i.e. that this was ostensibly a reply to.

    Another strange thing was the claim that the meaning of “many” did not matter. That is a very strange thing to say. Of course it matters! If somebody says that very many people saw the Loch Ness Monster, obviously one would ask “what do you mean by ‘many’?” There is such a strange and dishonest argumentativeness there, but I don’t honestly know if this would be typical of an AI bot programmed to engage in this kind of “debate”. Clinton said that it depended on what the meaning of the word “is” is, and that was not from a bot, so… but still, one could conceive of a bot programmed to just endless nitpick and things like this. The “Rurik” entity had something where, whenever he seemed pretty tapped out in a discussion, he would launch into a rant that typically included, among other things, the white farmers in Zimbabwe, a topic that was not being discussed at all. I guess that would be typical of bot behavior. Or maybe it would. When the algorithm can’t construct any sentence that relates to what is being discussed, then just start ranting about Zimbabwe or something. But humans do that. They get cornered in a debate and then just start ranting about something else to create a distraction.

    Up to that point, for some reason, I had not really looked at that entity’s commenting history. Now that I look at it, it really raises warning signs. Tulips has been on this site (at least using that screen name) since May 2023, a bit less than a year, but has composed 2095 comments comprising 651,500 words. For example, you, Sparkon have been present on the site since Autumn of 2016, over seven years, and you’ve written 3152 comments comprising 767,300 words. I have written 2,514 comments comprising 685,700 words. So we’re both slightly ahead of tulips in comment volume, but you have been participating since late 2016, and I have been here (off and on anyway) since the very end of 2014, so 7 and 9 years respectively. In fact, tulips’s volume is quite something. He/she/it/they writes, on average, about 2000 words a day on this site.”

    The “Rurik” entity must be one of the more prolific commenters on this site, dating back to around when I first showed up, the end of 2014, early 2015. But Rurik does not quite write an average 1000 words a day. The “Truth Vigilante” entity does not seem to do much but hang out here writing comments, but I calculated his/her/its/their daily output and it’s something like 1400 words a day on average. Also, it’s rather odd that somebody with that kind of vocation for writing would never just set up a blog, let’s say. I was a regular participant on UR for a year and after that point, I did actually submit some articles, but okay, different people are different.

    When tulips doubled down in his/her/its/their defense of the “Truth Vigilante” troll, writing “I am on team TV”, I also had the reaction of suspecting that this could just be “Truth Vigilante” himself using a different alias. (Though I’m hardly certain of that either.) But it seems possible, though it would mean that that entity’s volume of output really is something extraordinary, well over 3000 words a day.

    Well, what to do? One thing is that just that one really ought to refrain from replying to these obvious troll accounts. Sometimes it is tempting. For example, my last reply the Rurik troll. I still shouldn’t have written that, I suppose, because the cardinal rule should be not to feed the trolls.

    Obviously you can’t even quote me accurately

    Obviously, I can quote you accurately; obviously, I didn’t want to bother to scroll upthread to find your specific verbiage, so I paraphrased.

    Sparky – “You should listen to the men in your family about such matters, rather than putting your misguided feminine sentiments before common sense…”

    Misguided feminine sentiments = feminine ridiculousness = same difference = close enough

    but you can call me “Sparky,” so there’s that.

    “and then he petered out” – so, there’s that.

  654. @Jonathan Revusky

    Of course, that is just deranged nonsense. White women are not being raped and killed all over the place in the western world.

    Yes, they are, and primarily by non-European men/boys. Have you seen the new gang-rape and/or acid attack statistics in Europe/Scandanavia these days? The White boys just can’t keep up. It’s the same in America.

    Pava LaPere was a White woman who spent her life instigating contempt against successful White men, like her very own father, so she moved to Baltimore after graduating from college, which I’m sure Daddy bankrolled, just as my Daddy did, and one fine day, a heavily tattooed black man claimed to be a resident of Pava’s upscale, secure, apartment building, and because Pava was a virtuous Useful Idiot, who betrayed her own people, she willingly opened the otherwise locked door for Tattooed Marginalized Black Man, who proceeded to rape her, and then he left her dead body on the rooftop. It turns out, Tattooed Marginalized Black Man had been on early prison release, for the sake of equity, which Pava championed, for having attacked a (married) couple, overpowered the husband, raped the wife whilst husband was subdued, and set them both alight to cover his rape-y tracks. Anyway, I suggested to Corvinus that Pava died for her ridiculous ideology, and CorvinusLaPere, as I forevermore call him, said I’m a racist. Which I am, but I’m not wrong about Pava.

    I’m sure you’re sorry you brought it up, but as you say, I ramble, especially when I have an opportunity to make a swipe about the Jewish driven paradise of matriarchal, anti-White multicultural hellscapes.

    Were we talking about this?

    Not really, but –

    You were lecturing me on a few issues you have with my sarcastic attitude, my apparent disingenuousness, my undying devotion to TV, whom you deem unworthy…..

    I’m not sure what your point is.

    You know what my point was.

    Like nearly everyone else, I was not in NYC on 911, so I relied on the MSM reporting, which included multiple clips of people in NYC commenting on what they saw/heard that day. As you say, I have no idea of the identity of many commenters captured on film, and in 2001, although I thought the issues with the buildings were rather strange, I was unaware of the absolute complicity and capture of American media, as well as the absolute complicity, mendaciousness, and capture of the American government by (((whomever))) is really running the show now, and has been for a little over a century, I guess.

    The above just seems like pathetic blather to me.

    I don’t know how many ways I can say this – 1. I have not spent years sifting through evidence/testimony on 911 and making notations on same, but I have spent more time reviewing evidence in alternative reports then the average person (not including 911 Unz commentariat, in general); 2. I do not believe the official narrative, but I don’t know exactly what happened, although I’m quite certain the buildings were wired for demolition; 3. Based on what I do know, the drone/CGI theory seems the most likely.

    1. In a response to you, TV said that the plane fired a missile a split second before itself impacting the building, according to him, to ease its entry into the building. Do you believe that TV said this in good faith? Like he really believes that? (Or was he just trolling?)

    Yes, I believe TV said this in good faith. Yes, he seems to believe it, he says he believes it, I believe he believes it. No, I do not think he was just trolling.

    Is it possible he’s trolling? Anything is possible when we’re discussing human behavior, especially online.

    2. TV has repeatedly claimed that many thousands of people saw the plane hit the building directly in real-time (i.e. NOT on the TV). I asked him for some names of these people and he gave me “names” like “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude”. Do you think that TV really believes that that is a legitimate answer to my question? (Or was he just trolling?)

    Mr. Revusky, that is not a question I can really answer; you are asking me to make a claim about what TV believes, as if I have access to the inner workings of his mind. In my opinion, he seems to believe that after the first tower was hit, there were thousands of eyes watching the tower, so yes, it is a legitimate assertion to suggest nearly every person in the areas surrounding the towers, as well as numerous media/personal cameras, were focused on the tower, and therefore were viewing the area where the 2nd object would eventually appear to strike the second tower. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable assertion. If the towers had been hit simultaneously, then an argument for a non-plane strike would be more plausible. The planners must have known the tower complex would be under heavy, prolonged observation, by humans and recording devices, after the first strike. Yes?

    With regard to trolling, my personal experience with TV is that he has never insulted/trolled me in our previous correspondence, whereas both you and Sparky have certainly been more hostile. I have no issue whatsoever with opposing viewpoints and the assertion of same, nor a few swipes or barbs in an argument; I think I take that stuff in stride, and frankly, if it’s mostly good-natured or silly/absurd, it makes the conversation more interesting/entertaining, and once you have a history with someone, it’s more appropriate – Poupon Marx and I have the most ridiculous spats over just about everything, and frankly, it’s hilarious, and I look forward to his popping up again to renew our war of words, but those are natural devolvements based on our personality differences, and I actually like Mr. Marx, and I appreciate the fact that he wants to toss me into a Buddhist center for my own good. It’s sweet. I think he loves me.

    Do you understand what I’m saying about you and Sparky? We don’t have sufficient history for you two to be making the assessments that you’re making.

    I meant to continue thusly – so, I failed to take notes, as I was not expecting a mass cover-up by the media/government. I never imagined America would attack America. I was still in my We’re a shining beacon on a hill phase, although I was beginning to suspect otherwise; I was still quite young.

    Oh, you’re not fooling anyone with your bot babble.

    Yes, I’ve been stuck a home for several months, and now I look after my widowed father, so I’m often home cooking meals or at his home, etc.; why don’t you comb through comment history to gather specific details.

    I have thought I spend too much time on Unz, but I enjoy it; I’ve learned quite a bit through commentary, and that’s my primary objective; and it’s nothing for me to fire off a thousand words on something, as my intention is not to be a glib, pithy, troll, and frankly, I can write rather quickly and off-the-cuff, and since I have excellent recollection, coupled with the fact that I have a composition notebook of data taken on nearly every non-fiction book I’ve read since 4th grade, as directed by my grandfather, I don’t need to scramble for data or spend time searching for same.

    So, you’re passive-aggressive, as well? By all means, cease and desist your interaction with The Tulip Fairy Avatar; I’m sure everyone will happily follow your lead, and I’ll just have to start all over.

  657. @Tiptoethrutulips

    Yes, I believe TV said this in good faith. Yes, he seems to believe it, he says he believes it, I believe he believes it. No, I do not think he was just trolling.

    Okay, so in your judgment, then, TV is acting in good faith. He actually believes that the plane fired a missile at the building just before it struck it.

    Okay, fine. Now, do you think there is the slightest reason to believe that this actually happened? In your opinion, is this a credible story?

    2. TV has repeatedly claimed that many thousands of people saw the plane hit the building directly in real-time (i.e. NOT on the TV). I asked him for some names of these people and he gave me “names” like “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude”. Do you think that TV really believes that that is a legitimate answer to my question? (Or was he just trolling?)

    Mr. Revusky, that is not a question I can really answer; you are asking me to make a claim about what TV believes, as if I have access to the inner workings of his mind.

    Huh? You can’t answer the above question (question 2) because it involves making some conjecture about what is in TV’s head. Okay, fine. But then how did you answer question 1 by saying “Yes, I believe TV said this in good faith. Yes, he seems to believe it, he says he believes it, I believe he believes it.” If you couldn’t answer question 2 becuase it involves speculating about what is in another person’s head, then how did you manage to answer question 1 the way you did? Didn’t that involve speculating about what is in somebody’s head?

    Well, okay, fine. You cannot determine whether TV really believes that “Old Philosopher” or “Unnamed Black Dude” are legitimate witnesses to the plane crashes that he can cite. Well, let’s say, for the sake of argument, that TV really believes this. He thinks he can cite people as eyewitnesses whose name we do not even know….

    Assuming TV really believes this, do you agree with him?

    In my opinion, he seems to believe that after the first tower was hit, there were thousands of eyes watching the tower, so yes, it is a legitimate assertion to suggest nearly every person in the areas surrounding the towers, as well as numerous media/personal cameras, were focused on the tower, and therefore were viewing the area where the 2nd object would eventually appear to strike the second tower.

    Well, fine. If you believe that thousands of people were looking in the right direction at the right moment, then, if a plane hit a building, there should be loads of eyewitnesses. That does stand to reason.

    So, why can’t TV name any of these people?

    Why is he resorting to trying to claim that “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude” are legitimate eyewitnesses? As best I can figure, the simplest explanation is that the plane crash in question didn’t happen, and that is why, basically, nobody saw it. Okay, they all saw it later on the television and convinced themselves that, somehow, they weren’t looking in the exact right direction when they were there, and missed it, but it was on the TV, so it happened…

    But, okay, let’s say that there are a couple of dozen people who are on the record claiming that they really did see the plane hit the building in real-time. In your opinion, does it make sense to believe that the 9/11 criminals orchestrated this operation — I mean planes flying into buildings for real — for the benefit of that small number of people? Considering that whatever videos were shown on the television that day had an audience of hundreds of millions, even billions of people, do you find it reasonable to think that they engineered the flying of planes into buildings so that a couple of dozen people could say they saw something???

    I mean, c’mon, if you really need a few dozen people to say they saw something, then how hard is that? How many people in NYC (or anywhere) would say they saw a plane crash into a building (or anything else) for a few bucks?

    Is the sheer absurdity of all this really lost on you?

    Well, what to do?

    That is one of the $64 questions!

    As you know Jonathan, at one time, on some forums, Don’t Feed the Trolls – DFTT – was an effective tactic, and maybe it still should be the cardinal rule.

    To counter DFTT, trollfare seems to have evolved to create troll swarms, where the trolls, sock puppets and other bad actors outnumber sincere and legitimate commenters, such as seems to be the case at times here at UR.

    However, it probably takes only a dozen or so of these provocateurs operating at UR to disrupt and derail many promising discussions. Certainly in recent years we’ve had the additional confounding factor of AI chatbots and such that could easily be integrated into these conversations to disrupt, derail and lead them astray, or even to just litter them with misinformation.

    That is not to say, of course, that there aren’t enough deluded and/or drunken crackpots and overcharged cokeheads in the world to do the job without any help from AI.

    So I try to think of TV, Tulips and their ilk as rather comical straight men feeding me easy set-up lines to make them look foolish, at least in the eyes of any level-headed folks who happen to be reading here.

    There’s always a chance of that, you know, even among right-wingers!

    > an office fire and some exterior damage would lead any sensible person to conclude that it would

    I prefer the word “could” here rather than “would.” Suppose for a moment that we had an unlimited funding for whatever we wanted to do (Biden may even give that impression). We set up in different places 100 different copies of the WTC, with all of the same design materials and office contents, and then use electronically guided jets to replay the events of that day. After 100 experiments, we find that in 1 case all 3 buildings collapse, in another both Towers collapse and Building 7 stands, in one more just one of the Towers collapses, and in all remaining cases the buildings stand. In that case, we could expect another quarter-century of arguing over whether or not this proves that 911 was possible but highly unlikely or something else. Alternatively, maybe the collapses would occur in all 100 cases and then the argument would be over whether or not the tests were rigged. I can’t honestly say what the outcome would be.

    But given the fact that the fire department was forced to stop trying to end the fire because of a water-shortage, it doesn’t sound hard to believe that the fire and some exterior damage could have caused a collapse. Any examples which you may look up involving similar fires are more likely to be isolated cases, without something like the collapses of the Towers happening on the same day. If there had been no Tower-collapses, but just the damage to and fires in Building 7, then it seems very likely that the collapse could have been prevented. But with the early part of the day eating into the resources of the fire department, they were forced to let Building 7 burn in a way that would not normally be allowed. Hence, the collapse is not so shocking.

    Somewhat incongruously, it’s kind of like when David Irving admitted he had found actual evidence that the Holocaust had really occurred.

    Did Irving take the ‘actual evidence’ to his grave?

  661. @Tiptoethrutulips

    > The accusation is not that he predicted the collapse; the accusation is that he had unusual foreknowledge.

    How does an interview given months after an event serve as evidence of foreknowledge? One would need something more contemporaneous. After that interview had been shown, there actually were attempts to track down evidence of some kind of communications between Silverstein and some fire chief. But it really does just seem like peacocking by Silverstein.

    > That building was NOT ablaze when it collapsed.

    Whether or not it was ablaze at the moment of collapse is not so important. What is significant is that fires had gone on through the day, after some external damage had been done to the by flying debris, and water-shortages from the fires in other locations meant that little could be done to counter-act the fires in Building 7. That would have brought things to a point where a collapse could be expected.

    I explained to them that we were worried about 7, that it was going to come down and we didn’t want to get anybody trapped in the collapse. One comment was, oh, that building is never coming down, that didn’t get hit by a plane, why isn’t somebody in there putting the fire out? A lot of comments, a bit of resistance, understandable resistance.

    it wasn’t the woman’s identity that I considered authentic, but rather all the videos and photographs of the damage with her standing there, all taken from different angles and so forth, that I don’t think they could have faked.

    Yah dee dah…. Look, there are things that you don’t have to have attended Stanford or Harvard or wherever to know. Like, everybody knows that everybody has a name. Furthermore, everybody knows that married woman who took on her husband’s surname, also has a maiden name. Everybody knows this, even high school dropouts, even illiterate people…

    part of me thinks I should just leave you to your delusions, but then I see you blubbering about ‘this entity Rurik’, over and over, and how I supposedly lost some argument with you, (lol), and so I guess you’re insisting that I engage with your hysterics.

    Again… the woman standing in the smoking hole, had nothing to do with her name. It was enough that a woman, (or person) was standing there.

    Now you may be obsessed with her name, because you, (in your fevered delusions) believe that she never existed, and was, how did you call it? ‘punched in’, or something like that? So you can agonize all you want over her maiden name, (or whatever else you want to twist yourself in knots doing). It’s a free country. But insisting that sane and well-adjusted people participate in your personal delusions, is bad form.

    Edna Troche, so maybe you could find something. I did a bit of cursory searching and could find nothing. If you think you can find something, go ahead and try.

    I already did, and I posted it.

    Well, if there was a woman standing there, she did have a name, I guess. Like, I dunno, maybe “Office Slut #1138”?

    But, actually, I don’t think there was any woman standing there. It’s just inserted.

    ah yes, that was it. You didn’t say punched in, you said ‘inserted’.

    But why would they do that? It is damaging to their narrative.

    Why would a self-styled 9/11 Truther get so emotionally invested in defending practically every last detail of the official story? I mean most of it anyway… the plane crashes, the jumpers, Edna Cintron looking out of the hole…. It doesn’t make any sense…

    few people have been more critical of the official story than moi.

    and it would only make sense to people who are emotionally and psychologically well-adjusted, so it’s no surprise that you’re dismayed

    Is that where the plane that the hijackers lost control of was really headed?

    well, in the first case, I’m very skeptical of any so-called ‘box-cutter wielding hijackers’. I suspect all the planes that day were flown by remote control.

    But apparently ‘Flight 93’ (or the drone that replaced it) was shot out of the sky, somewhere in Pennsylvania. Which was a major fuck-up to their plans, and so they had to ‘wing it’, and Building 7 could have been its intended destination.

    But I tend to focus more on the Israeli aspect. My concern isn’t so much with ‘what’ — go at that hammer and tongs, for all I care — it’s ‘who’ and ‘why.’ From that point of view, I’m disinclined to go down the rabbit hole of the mechanics of the whole thing.

    I agree, but in order to know the ‘who’, we are obliged- to a point, to understand the ‘how’.

    It is a very, very significant question, after all, to know the ‘who’, because if I’m right, then millions of innocent people have been wrongly bombed and murdered and maimed and displaced, their nations in smoking ruins, all because we went after the wrong ‘who’.

    When we should have been going after the people who had the wherewithal to wire Building 7 for a controlled demolition. We should have had an actual investigation, rather than the absurd 9/11 Commission, which even some of the participants called it a fraud and a farce. (“Set up to fail”, I think is what they said)

    But instead, just like with the USS Liberty, the mass-murdering maniacs didn’t just get off scot-free, but they were able to trick Americans into murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people, destroying nation after nation. (America now has that Karmic blood on our moral ledger)

    It staggers the mind and confounds the soul to contemplate the evil of it all.

    I’m disinclined to go down the rabbit hole of the mechanics of the whole thing.

    so are most people I know. Not so much because it’s a wrought exercise, with bumps and and hurdles, but rather because once you finally glimmer the meaning of it all, your life will never be the same. Not too many people want to become that cynical. And in a way, I don’t blame them.

    But then, this quote has always resonated with me

    There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

    ~ T.J.

    like when David Irving admitted he had found actual evidence that the Holocaust

    I think Ezra Pound also backtracked on some of his more keen observations, after spending some time getting his ‘mind right’, so to speak.

    human nature, being what it is.

    So Building 7? Way above my pay grade. But let’s talk about Israel. Isn’t their degree of involvement more significant?

    Well Colin, the problem is that Building 7, is critical if you’re going to understand the degree of complicity that Israel is guilty of.

    For instance, if Building 7 was a controlled demolition, then that means it wasn’t Osama and his nineteen box-cutter wielding henchmen, but rather someone else who did it.

    **
    Also, I see I stand corrected that there was any video of any of these so-called hijackers on 9/11, in any of the airports in question.

    So if you consider that, (if it’s correct, and it looks like it is), and if you discount the passport, then it looks like the only ‘evidence’ of there being Muslim terrorists that day, is simply because they, (the people who told us about Saddam’s WMD’ and ‘Assad’s chemical attack’, and a thousand other lies), told us so.
    **

    My agenda is to get more people to get interested in who did it, (by whatever method or means they find suits them), and if that happens, I’d like to see a future where these zio-fiends don’t have as much clout, (total control) over our foreign policy and other things.

    In light of Gaza and Ukraine and other places, this would only be a prudent development, no?

    And if, George Bush and others.. knew that 9/11 was an inside job, and ran cover for it, then I’d like to see him hanged, exactly like they hanged Saddam. I’d even like to see them use the same gallows and rope, for that sense of poetic justice, and all that.

    . The “Rurik” entity had something where, whenever he seemed pretty tapped out in a discussion, he would launch into a rant that typically included, among other things, the white farmers in Zimbabwe, a topic that was not being discussed at all.

    that’s only because you were, (and are) too obtuse to comprehend what I was saying.

    That Zimbabwe was like the canary in the coal mine of Western civilization, and that as the white folks there were being murdered and persecuted, for being white, then it boded the same thing for other white nations, which indeed it has, thereby proving I was right, (again ; )

    you’re just too big of a boob to comprehend that.

    No, I haven’t seen any such statistics. Maybe you could provide a link to what you’re talking about.

    I have one question though. All this raping you are talking about… where does it take place? Surely not right there on the street in broad daylight, one wouldn’t think. Some unlit back alleys?

    Or maybe in public parks? They drag women behind the bushes and rape the shit out of them? Abandoned buildings? White women are being raped all over the place by the swarthy savages. It’s terrible. Okay, fine. But tell me… where is all this raping taking place?

    Pava LaPere was a White woman who spent her life instigating contempt …(snip) … she willingly opened the otherwise locked door for Tattooed Marginalized Black Man, who proceeded to rape her, and then he left her dead body on the rooftop…(snip)

    The name “Pava Lapere” rang a bell and I suddenly remember where I had seen that name before. Here: http://mileswmathis.com/carson.pdf The author of that piece (who you may or may not be familiar with and I don’t vouch for everything he says….) calls out the Pava Lapere incident as fake news.

    I honestly don’t know, but I would say that the story seem a bit odd. In any case, maybe this really happened. Certainly, nobody is saying that such gruesome crimes never take place, but I reckon they are not really that common. Well, the raping part, okay, it happens surely (though probably not as much as you think!) but the murder part??? Why would he murder the girl after raping her? How common could that be?

    Look, there is this rather lame series of articles here on UR, by a guy named Ken Gidiven. Here is the latest one: https://www.unz.com/article/about-38-black-on-white-homicides-including-a-white-man-trying-to-apologize-to-a-black-women-for-minor-fender-bender/

    His shtick is that he tallies up all the cases of black-on-white homicides and lists them. For all of the USA. Usually, it’s about 30 cases for a given month, which would be 360 a year, more or less. Meanwhile, in a country the size of the USA, about 40 thousand people die in traffic accidents every year. One week of traffic accident fatalities is typically far more than a whole year’s worth of the black-on-white homicides that Gidiven comes up with.

    And the US has a lot more violent crime than Europe. Approximately ten times as much. A friend of mine, a few years back, the guy is half Spanish, half German, speaks German fluently. Somehow this topic of all the raping taking place in Germany (you know, according to Breitbart etc) came up. He got kind of intrigued by the topic. At parties full of German people nearby (in Spain) he would bring this up. “Isn’t it terrible all the raping taking place there in Germany?”

    He told me that nobody knew WTF he was talking about. People would just look at him like he was crazy. They’d assure him that whatever town they were from in Germany was really completely safe and they would go out at any time of night with no worries. As always.

    So, apparently, this massive rape epidemic there… you know… the flower of white womanhood there being defiled by the swarthy savages…. the people who actually live in Germany don’t know anything about this. Maybe only the ones who read American (zionist backed) publications like Breitbart etc. Well, I guess the moral of the story is that the Germans (and Swedes etc) should all be reading Breitbart to stay informed of what is going on in their country I guess. (Shrug.)

    I can’t honestly say what the outcome would be.

    I can. In none of them would even one building collapse, let alone all three.

    it doesn’t sound hard to believe that the fire and some exterior damage could have caused a collapse.

    perhaps, if you’re an imbecile

    If there had been no Tower-collapses, but just the damage to and fires in Building 7, then it seems very likely that the collapse could have been prevented.

    could have been prevented, eh?

    perhaps the attack on the USS Liberty could have been prevented to. What do you think?

    Hence, the collapse is not so shocking.

    Yeah, sure, Africans and Pakistanis/Afghans, etc., known for placing their women on pedestals, arrive to Europe and behave like the European prince-charming they always strove to be, but couldn’t manage, until they laid eyes on fair, bright-eyed, European women. Those men are also known for their self-control; they surely don’t expect women to cover-up to prevent men from experiencing a sexual emergency, for which women are to blame.

    I travel to Europe, and Scandinavia; I know what’s happening. It’s been worse in America because we have more Kangs running amok; I suppose Channon Christian/Knoxville Horror and the Wichita Massacre were false flags?

Drive over 15 minutes to Hanau – once charming city famous for the Grimm Brothers (who penned the greatest European fairy tales of all time: Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood etc) and a thriving Jewish community. Go there today and check out Die Innenstadt! Filled with Islamic savages mostly from Turkey ( literally every shop or store is owned by them), but also a lot of even worse cretins (newer arrivals) from Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan North Africa and other Islamic hellholes in the MENA, Balkans (Bosnia) and Sub Saharan region.

    It beggars belief that you would come after me, in the rather weaselly/sniveling manner that you did – calculating/counting words in comment history, as if it isn’t already publicly accessible, providing a link to same, as if it warrants inspection, and suggesting I have some sinister plan herein, when I’ve been transparent enough to indicate I’m not some busy bee trying to stir up trouble, which is apparent by my choices of commentary, which have been specific enough in subject matter and obviously made with intentions for discourse, in general – all because, although you agree with the premise of 911 as the Great Deception, you just can’t abide a disagreement in the HOW of the Great Deception. So, it’s not THAT the official narrative is FALSE; it’s not THAT America has turned in on itself; it’s not WHO is the enemy; it’s THAT the Tulip Fairy doesn’t accept your no-plane/no-victim theory. Yes, that’s the bee in your bonnet, Jon Leibowitz. Sure.

    I have to admit it is striking. I thought about the 9.0+ earthquake they had in Santiago de Chile one or two decades back.

    If you’ve ever been there, Santiago is studded with high-rise apartment buildings; I guess somebody thought it addressed something.

    Anyway, they had a massive problem with elevators not working — people living on the twenty seventh floor need an elevator.

    your query made me think of this scene

    I haven’t, but Chile is on my list of nations to visit, and perhaps settle in.

    I’ve always wanted a place where you can watch sunsets over the ocean, and the real estate in the U.S. is property tax prohibitive for that anymore.

    Perhaps Chile, (or Panama or Costa Rica) is the solution?

    Anyways, I’m glad you’re giving Building 7 some more thought.

    Since I’ve discovered the effect of Zionist, Jewish supremacy on our world, and the incomprehensible suffering and death of the Bolshevik horrors and of both ((World Wars)), there was at least the solace that these mind-boggling enormities of Jewish hate are finally past us. But then came 9/11, and once the dust settled, (a few years for me), and I started to connect the dots, a new horror set in. They want to turn this new century- once so full of hope- into another slaughter-fest.

    So for me, watching Building 7 implode, the way it does, is a lot more gut-wrenching than just the three thousand people they murdered that day.

    It means that the 21st century is also going to be one of horrors and genocide and endless wars for Israel.

    But I’ve been delving into their schemes and treachery for many decades, and so it wasn’t as huge a leap for me to connect the dots. But for most people, the idea that elements within our own government, (at the very highest levels) was complicit in that act, is a bridge too far for them to maintain their well-being. And I get it. The realizations that follow, once you realize the kind of people who’re running our government, are deeply mortifying.

    Not so much because a few radical Jews are capable of such treacherous malevolence, but even more so that so many non-Jews are willing to go along with it, for their thirty shekels.

    I hope there is a Dante’ n’th, and that it’s worse that any of us can possibly imagine in our darkest nightmares. That it would last for eternity, sound just right to me.

    It’s not bad, but there are some peculiarities; the vast national communally-held dog pack, for one. Then too, all the young boys and girls are perpetually groping in public. I mean all the time, everywhere. People say, yeah, yeah, they do that everywhere’ — but they haven’t been to Chile.

    Then there’s the sense of isolation. You have one of the world’s harshest deserts to the north, the world’s second-highest mountain range to the east, Antarctica to the south, and six thousand miles of open sea to the west before you get to New Zealand.

    Then P.R. notwithstanding, it is not a white country. Lighter than Mexico, but no — not white.

    More seriously, what I found unsettling is the perceptible undercurrent of bitterness and hostility between the rich and the poor there. They’ve never gotten over 1973; the rich won, and the poor didn’t.

    There are other ways to look at all that, but poverty in Chile is real, it’s grinding, and it’s my impression that it sucks for you if you’re a have-not.

    Actually it was Ehud himself, and his cabal who were actually responsible.

    And back then they assumed Russia was all on board. But then came Libya, and Putin said ‘enough!’, and put a stop to it in Syria, and hence we have problems now in Ukraine.

    you have no idea, Tiptoe

    I’ve been involved with threads where the vitriol was off the charts. And all over this one side-issue of the ‘how’ of the events of that day, when we all agree on the ‘who’; (Israel and some elements within the Bush administration and of course the Jewish media).

    I think it goes back to their original ‘ah ha!’ moment.

    (Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to get involved with these discussions anymore?)

    So they see the video of what looks like the nose of the jet protruding out of the other side of the building, then they see the video of what looks strange (as you’ve mentioned) as the jet plows into the side of the tower, (it looks fake!), then they watch as a clever and arrogant person shows where the aluminum wing tip “slices though steel” ~ and they’re hooked.

    I too once gave all those arguments some credibility, until I researched further. I recall the fist time I saw the video of the wing disappearing behind the building, and doing a ‘WTF is going on here’, until I eventually figured it out.

    But for many people, (and many of them are sincere and of good faith), they’re utterly convinced, and nothing, I mean *nothing* is ever going to change their minds. Unlike you, their minds are made up. They’re like Stanford in that sense, who claims that all good scientists have closed minds when it comes to controversial issues. (lol)

    I try to show them the photos and videos of the smoking crash holes, and how the wing tips didn’t “slice though the steel columns’, but always to no avail.

    Many or even most of them are not zio-agents trying to run cover for the fiends who did it, but sadly, their efforts are effectively the same, because as newbies become curious about what happened that day, they’re immediately barraged with the no-planes hysteria, ( some sincere, some “ex”-CIA) and are immediately put off by Truthers as some kind of nuts. The videos of the planes crashing into the buildings, are too compelling, taken on the whole, with dozens of different angles, and so forth.

    Anyways, I wish it wasn’t so, but I suspect the no-planes theories do more harm to the Truther movement than any other thing. In spite of many of their good intentions.

    Well, what to do?

    That is one of the $64 questions!

    Well, I think the cold, hard truth is that there is quite little to be done about this state of affairs. If this were my website (which, of course, it is not) I would just aggressively delete/block the obvious troll accounts. However, we have a situation where, not only will the site owner not do that, but he even frequently vouches for the troll accounts! As in: “Oh, yes, anonymous troll #1138 is one of the very best commenters here… etc etc.”

    However, it probably takes only a dozen or so of these provocateurs operating at UR to disrupt and derail many promising discussions. Certainly in recent years we’ve had the additional confounding factor of AI chatbots and such that could easily be integrated into these conversations to disrupt, derail and lead them astray, or even to just litter them with misinformation.

    Tracing back, I probably first considered the possibility that there was use of AI bots in the immediate aftermath of Putin sending the army into Ukraine. That is now two years ago. On all sorts of social media venues, anything with comment sections really, there were just all of these “stand with Ukraine” sort of posts. Many of them used suspiciously similar wording. Also, anybody who tried to bring any key facts into the conversation would be shouted down as a Russian troll.

    But I do have to admit that anything I could say about AI bots in the various discussion forums (including this one) is pure speculation.

    There is one seeming tell I have noticed now repeatedly. These troll accounts will say things like “I visited Scandinavia and I saw (fill in the blank)”

    This struck me as so odd. Think about it. When was the last time someone you know came back from… let’s say… one of those cruises in the Norwegian Fjords and said “I just came back from Scandinavia. I actually ran this by a couple of people I know (non-virtually). The reaction was that this was quite odd. Well, one person didn’t find it odd initially, but then the examples he gave were entirely negative formulations. For example, if I said: “I’ve never been to Scandinavia” (which is true) this is indeed the most economical way of saying that I’ve never been to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, or Finland. But if I just came back from Copenhagen, I would say that I just got back from Denmark, or maybe say Copenhagen specifically.

    As you probably know, I reside in Spain. If I said that I live on the Iberian Peninsula, would that be odd?

    But, anyway, the comment from the Rurik entity, I just looked it up again, to remember what exactly he said that raised the warning bells with me. It was from 11 months ago, this comment here. There, he writes:

    Yes, there are a lot of Muslims in Russia, but the ones I saw in Scandinavia strut on the streets like conquering generals. Staring down any ‘racist’ whites they see, knowing they have the full backing of the police and government, (and obviously ((media))), should there be any trouble.

    So, the Rurik entity saw some Muslims strutting on the streets like conquering generals. Where did he/she/it/they see this? In Scandinavia, of course! But what does that even look like? I looked it up once and, according to official statistics of some sort, about 8% of the population of the area I live in are Muslim. So, I guess I frequently see these people walking down the street. Were they strutting like conquering generals? I honestly don’t know because I don’t even known what that looks like. I guess it looks an awful lot like people walking down the street like normal people.

    Now, I think the above-quoted paragraph is some kind of canned talking point. I don’t believe that this “Rurik” was in “Scandinavia” at all, and certainly not that he casually observed these uppity Muslims. That was nearly a year ago, but just the other day the Tulips entity writes:

    I travel to Europe, and Scandinavia; I know what’s happening.

    Another strange statement. Why would anybody say they travel to Europe regularly… AND Scandinavia. Does this entity not know that Scandinavia is not a separate place. It’s a region IN Europe, no? Well, it’s strange on many levels. Even if women were getting raped all over the place by the Muzzie savages in Scandinavia (which they’re not, of course) would you observe any of it on a trip there? What? This person was just walking down the street in broad daylight and saw some white women getting raped??? But, of course, the whole thing is ridiculous. Surely anybody who really went to some place, like Stockholm, let’s say, and actually saw something shocking, would say specifically where they saw it. They wouldn’t say “I went to Scandinavia and saw X.” “I went to the Pacific Northwest of the USA and saw… whatever.” I do second-guess myself, but increasingly, I look at this sort of thing and I’m convinced it’s a dead giveaway.

    But for many people, (and many of them are sincere and of good faith), they’re utterly convinced, and nothing, I mean *nothing* is ever going to change their minds.

    Well, that’s a dubious representation of the situation. I think that, for one thing, there being some genuine plane debris from the alleged crashes could make people believe there really were plane crashes. But there is none.

    Eyewitness testimony is much weaker proof but there does not seem to be much of that. When you press one of these notorious planer shills, this Truth Vigilante entity, to give you some names of some eyewitnesses, after he claimed that there were tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of people who saw this with their own two eyes, he comes up with “names” like “Old Philosopher” or “Unnamed Black Dude”.

    Well, the fact is that there are people who seem like they’re straight shooters, who have looked into this question of eyewitnesses to the plane crashes, and it really seems like the number of people who are on the record saying that they saw a plane crash into a building in real-time, this is a very small number. I myself have looked into this and can’t really find much. One blogger, Allan Weisbecker, who passed away recently, came up with 20 names. Every last one of these people worked for either the media or the government. (Coincidence?)

    So, I think a really huge problem with the planes story is that you’re saying that the 9/11 criminals mounted this very complex, error-prone sub-operation of flying planes into buildings for real for the benefit of something like 20, or some such number of bystanders. Meanwhile, any videos they show on the TV will be seen by hundreds of millions, possibly billions of people. Does that really make any sense?

    Well, of course, it’s the planers getting hyper-emotional more than the no-planers. After all, that’s what one typically does when one is defending a story that is untenable.

    Commentary from a native German in Germany:

    Forget Frankfurt.Am-Main. Drive over 15 minutes to Hanau – once charming city famous for the Grimm Brothers (who penned the greatest European fairy tales of all time: Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood etc) and a thriving Jewish community. Go there today and check out Die Innenstadt! Filled with Islamic savages mostly from Turkey ( literally every shop or store is owned by them), but also a lot of even worse cretins (newer arrivals) from Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan North Africa and other Islamic hellholes in the MENA, Balkans (Bosnia) and Sub Saharan region.
    It’s a tragedy seeing the Marien-Namens Katholische Kirche and a few remaining once decent Churches that might not stand the test of time in 10 years of so….
    And even today, the clueless cowardly average brainwashed German here is still fed with globalist propaganda, wherein it’s all the evil almost non-existent Neo Nazis (Rechtsradikale) & evil Trump and evil Putin/Orban. While at the same time thinking that Demokratie & Multikulti garbage from the CDU-SPD cowards will keep Germany in good shape.

    Out of curiosity, is this from private correspondence?

    I look at this and it is just seething with a kind of mindless bigotry. Now, I am actually not the most politically correct person around, and if this person feels this way, well… so be it…

    But there is a problem here, which is this all started with your claim that women are being raped all over the place. The above quote, for all of its venom against these people, does not make any such claim. Well, the quoted text probably qualifies as “hate speech”, what with referring to entire groups of people as “savages”, “cretins”, and “garbage”, but it does not claim that these people are raping white German girls all over the place.

    Well, I guess you could say that this is because the author of the text is exercising restraint, but whoever wrote that does not seem like a particularly restrained person…

    > I can.

    What engineering qualifications do you have to make such a statement?

    you don’t have to be a biologist to know what a woman is

    and thousands of architects and structural engineers have gone on record saying the official account of Building 7, (and the other two towers), is horse shit.

    but in principle the way that collapsed was very much like what happened on 911. Things like this obviously can happen.

    Ok, I’ll take a look

    The investigation found that during the calculation of the building’s structural load, only the LIVE LOAD (weight of people in the building, and additional fixtures and fittings, such as furniture) was factored in. The DEAD LOAD (weight of the building itself) was completely omitted from the calculation. This meant the building was not designed to support its own weight. It was later discovered that an unqualified draftsman, instead of a professional structural engineer, did the calculations for the building. The owner (which died in the collapse) also requested to use inferior materials in construction, in order to reduce the cost.

    https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_Hotel_New_World

    so the building was not even engineered to support its own weight.

    A commission of inquiry was appointed in March 1986 to investigate the cause of the collapse.[9] In the final report, released in February 1987, the panel concluded that the collapse was caused by various factors, including the building’s poor structural design as well as shoddy construction.[10] The construction also deviated from the architectural drawings, which compounded the inadequacy of the structural design.[11] The problem was further exacerbated by new installations on the roof that included a water tank weighing about 21.8 tonnes (21,800 kg).[12]

    https://www.nlb.gov.sg/main/article-detail?cmsuuid=c283d7e4-5a3b-418f-812f-720b1ecc53e6

    but most of all, the Hotel New World was not a modern steel frame building, but rather a reinforced concrete building,

    which is not nearly as sturdy and strong as a steel frame building.

    This is how building seven was constructed

    I do know a bit about steel, (and aluminum and cast iron and so forth..) because they’re part of my industry. The steel being used to build Building 7 is very, very strong, particularly when it’s used to brace itself, as in those massive steel columns you see diagonally in the center of the building, connected to a massive I-beam, that must be ten foot high. This was a very, very strong building.

    Indeed, they must have used a whole hell of a lot of Thermate to cut those massive beams.

    I’m not a structural engineer, (even if I’ve designed and built some very strong structures over the years with steel and other metals), but anyone familiar with steel, could see that Building 7 was very well built, and would not collapse due to some office fires or some vibrations.

    Just like Danny Jowenko said,

    [RIP]

    this was a controlled demolition.

    I neglected to mention, they drive like maniacs — as do Argentines.

    I’m used to this, alas.

    It’s odd, because Spanish drivers — at least in Galicia — are almost maddeningly cautious.

    and truth be told, I suppose I prefer maniacs to brain-dead, face-plastered-to-the ‘smart’-phone types.

    The worst is when you have both. A catatonic zombie going 20 mph under the speed limit – gawping at the ‘smart’ phone- in front of you, and a hyper-aggressive psychotic behind you.

    Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Chile, and Argentina (a decided Hispanophile thread immediately emerges).

    very interesting..

    I get Portugal and South America. Am surprised by Turkey. Always wanted to visit Muslim nations like Egypt or Turkey, but never figured I’d ever want to live there.

    I think Mr. Unz should start an ex-patriot thread for all the Unz’ers to chime in on their experiences and what places to visit, and perhaps move to. I used to enjoy Lind Dinh’s articles because of the travel info, and also because he wrote well and his anecdotes.

    Hello Mr. Unz. How about a travel thread on TUR.

    Spain tends to come in a solid second across a lot of categories. Its cumulative score might put it over the top.

    I was there but only for a very short time. But I loved it. And it has the weather. But it also seems to be getting colonized by Muslims and Africans, (again). I don’t want to live in a place that is currently getting colonized, even if it’s only nascent, at the moment. There’s a gloom to it, the faint realization that at some point, there is going to be a very ugly civil war.

    …provincial Oregon is good too.

    lived in Gresham, Oregon for a few months, long ago. Actually I recall the gals there being the best charm the place had. It was the weather during the rainy season that I couldn’t stand. Grey and drizzly every day!

    Still, a good place to ride out the apocalypse.

    I’m starting to think there’s no place under ZOG’s jurisdiction for that.

    I used to think maybe Australia or New Zealand, but since Covid, those places seem even more cowed and submissive to ZOG than even the U.S.

    Eastern Europe might be nice, but it’s too f’n cold in the winter.

    More and more it seems to me South America. I pay attention to things like UN votes on Israel’s serial outrages, and I notice that often it’s Latin American nations that vote against the fiend.

    So there’s that too. Along with the weather, natural beauty and generally a very amiable people.

    I’ll ignore all the other absurdities and erroneous assertions in your comment, and just take this one on..

    …they didn’t fly the planes into the WTC for the benefit of the undoubtedly hundreds of thousand of people in NYC who were no-doubt watching the towers.

    They did it because it would be impossible to fake such a thing, with dozens of cameras all rolling, of a jet flying in, and then crashing into the tower, and the subsequent carnage, all from different angles and points of view.

    You seem to think that in 2001, the technology for faking *anything* with CGI was such that it was as good or better than the real thing.

    But you’re wrong, (again).

    Even today, they couldn’t fake such a thing.

    I even pointed out that they still do stunts in real time for Hollywood movies, because they can’t fake it so that it looks real. Or they would. (Jews don’t like to throw money away, after all).

    I posted a video of a Hollywood movie scene where it must have cost them millions to do, because they couldn’t fake it with CGI. If they could have, and made it look just as real, they would have.

    Some scenes from that movie were CGI, but some simply were not possible to do, and have it look real.

    I’m writing this for those out there who’re giving this issue consideration in good faith, because I know there are some whose egos are tied to the CGI version, and like a religious fanatic, the only way you’ll ever change their mind is with a … well, better argument than I can, (or am willing) to make.

    Excerpt from Sweden: Rape Capital of the West:

    In 1975, the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country. Forty years later the dramatic consequences of this experiment emerge: violent crime has increased by 300%.

    If one looks at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.

    Sweden is now number two on the global list of rape countries. According to a survey from 2010, Sweden, with 53.2 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants, is surpassed only by tiny Lesotho in Southern Africa, with 91.6 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants.

    These troll accounts will say things like “I visited Scandinavia – This struck me as so odd.

    What’s odd is your belief that anyone buys into your obvious BS. I have also visited South America. I’ve been to North America, as well.

    Why would anybody say they travel to Europe regularly… AND Scandinavia. Does this entity not know that Scandinavia is not a separate place. It’s a region IN Europe, no? Well, it’s strange on many levels. Even if women were getting raped all over the place by the Muzzie savages in Scandinavia (which they’re not, of course) would you observe any of it on a trip there? What? This person was just walking down the street in broad daylight and saw some white women getting raped???

    I don’t need a lesson in geographical terms from Jon Leibowitz.

    I made no such specific claims as you asserted therein; if one spent time in France/Paris when one was 25 years of age, and one returned to France/Paris 15 years later, and then again a few years later, the demographic/cultural changes were obvious just from cursory observations.

    Germany: Foreigners Responsible for 100% of Serious Sexual Assault Cases

    John Cody, Remix, March 27, 2024

    The new crime statistics from the German city of Frankfurt contain shocking figures regarding foreigners and major crimes, including one particular figure that shows they are responsible for 100 percent of all serious sexual assault crimes and 57.4 percent of all crimes.

    The data shows that even for the worst crimes, well over half of all suspects are foreigners – those without a German passport. The rest of the suspects, 42.6 percent, are German citizens, but it is important to note that the data does not track whether these German suspects have a migration background, as Germany does not record this data.

    When it comes to crimes against life, 54 percent of cases of murder were committed by foreigners, while they were responsible for 64.8 percent of cases involving manslaughter.

    When it comes to serious sexual crimes, foreigners are also vastly overrepresented….

    In regard to sexual assault and rape, women are increasingly victimized in Germany due to mass immigration. Data released earlier this year shows that 8,590 women and men were raped or sexually. assaulted by foreigners since 2015.

    A Nation Committing Suicide: Sweden
    Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, August 6, 2021

    At the end of May, a crowd of around a hundred young people from African or Middle Eastern minorities began fighting in a square in Hjallbo, a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city.

    A man in a grocery store was shot in the back of the head.

    Then a policeman in Biskopsgarden, another suburb of the city, was killed.

    A few days later a man was murdered in a barber shop in Frolunda, another suburb.

    To add to this litany of recent violence, two young children were lucky enough to survive last week after being caught in the crossfire of another gang shooting, this time in Visattra, on the outskirts of Stockholm, the capital.
    Thus opens a dramatic account in the weekly The Economist on Sweden. According to a recent report by the National Crime Prevention Council, Sweden has recorded the highest death rate from shootings in Europe in the past 15 years. Analyzing data on 22 European countries provided by Eurostat and the World Health Organization, council researcher Klara Hradilova-Selin calculated that Sweden ranks first. Most of the victims are men between 20 and 29 years old. “The murder rate per firearm in Sweden is two and a half times the European average”.

    All this due to a radical demographic revolution underway and blessed by the state. “The Riksdag unanimously decided in 1975 that Sweden is a multicultural country,” writes Kyösti Tarvainen, a professor at Aalto University in Helsinki, in the Swedish newspaper Folkbladet. “At that time, more than 40 percent of the immigrants were my compatriots, Finns. The situation has changed: in 2019, 88 percent of immigrants were non-Western and 52 percent Muslim. Therefore, there has been a huge cultural shift in the immigrant population, as its largest group went from being Finnish to being Muslim. Ethnic Swedes will be a minority in 2065 with unchanged immigration “.

    Sweden has gone from being a low-crime country to having murder rates significantly above the Western European average, Swedish journalist Paulina Neuding wrote in Politico. “Social unrest, burnt cars, attacks on rescuers and riots are a recurring phenomenon. The shootings in the country have become so common that they no longer make headlines. News about the attacks are quickly replaced with headlines about sporting events and celebrities, readers have become desensitized to violence.”

    On Unherd, the Somali-born essayist Ayaan Hirsi Ali has already recounted how Sweden has become “the European capital of rape”…

    While Imam Basem Mahmoud, who has a history of hatred against Jews and others whom he considers “infidels” and who preaches in the al-Sahaba mosque in Rosengard, tells the Expressen newspaper which said that the Swedish flag should not be honored: “Whoever carries the cross is a heretic”.
    In 2050, up to 30 percent of Sweden could be Islamic, according to a report by the American Pew Forum.
    The end.

    Is all of this reporting nonsense? Can we look around and determine if these reported incidents/statistics are exaggerations? Should we trust our lying eyes?

    I’ve never been to Scotland. Here’s a random observation by someone who claims familiarity:

    “The Jewish connection to Scotland is strong; it’s why the islands called the Hebrides are named so similarly to the aforementioned word Hebrew. And not by coincidence, the leading & arguably most sociopathic strain of globalist Freemasonry is from Scotland, simply called Scottish Rite Freemasonry….

    Anyway, my point was to show the strong influence of the Jewish value system on Scotland, for anyone confused about why that country is being slowly filleted alive from within, with its citizenry powerless to stop it.”

    Haiti is a land of savages, as is Africa, in general. I wouldn’t say Turkey is filled with savages, but many Turkish people behave as savages in relatively free societies, such as in Germany/Europe. I suspect the modern savages are quite different genetically from the “Persian-type” of yore.

    Well, you’re skipping around the basic point that the CGI on 9/11 doesn’t look real either.

    The unreality, or lack of verisimilitude, is what alerted some people, at least, that the whole thing was a big charade. Both the Hezarkhani (CNN) and the ‘nose-out” videos (FOX) aired late in the day on Sept. 11, 2001.

    Indeed, the flaws in the videos, especially when studied frame by frame, comprise a fundamental and foundational point of the so-called No Planes Theory: the planes do not look real at all on the videos as they glide into the buildings as if both were made of air, with neither resistance nor reaction from either plane nor building in Hezarkhani, and certainly, the “nose-out” video is entirely absurd, beyond even a Three Stooges level of Hollywood slapstick cinematography.

    “It went right through it!”

    — FOX announcer, Sept. 11, 2001

    But of course, that nose cone and front fuselage section seen poking out of WTC 2 did not fall to earth intact as one would expect if it had the strength, the power, the KE and general awesomeness to fly “right through it!”

    But son of a gun, subsequent images of that area on WTC 2 where the nose poked through show neither hole nor much damage in that area of the building’s facade.

    No hole and no 767 wreckage below it.

    So what was real, and what was CGI?

    I will suggest too that a hologram wouldn’t have been able to disappear within the building and then reappear poking out the other side, but it would have been a piece of cake to do that with 3D graphics, or other CGI compositing techniques such as PVI’s video insertion technology L-VIS, which can add or remove foreground objects in any video, and do it live in real time!

    When CBS execs were discussing this technology in a Jan. 13, 2000 New York Times article I’ve posted here numerous times, some of those execs warned the software made things like planes crashing look “so real” that it was incumbent on the networks to inform their viewers that these were not real images, but I certainly can’t recall that perspective ever being broached anywhere in the MSM immediately after 9/11, but maybe I missed it.

    Did you ever read that article, Rurik? I see that the NYT article “CBS Is Divided Over the Use Of False Images In Broadcasts” is now behind a paywall, but the text is preserved here:

    And yet, over the last 20+ years, we’ve heard an astonishing array of entirely fantastical explanations, equations, and eye-witness accounts that those airplanes really did just fly right into those buildings and disappear therein: nose cone, tail, and wing tips – the whole freaking shebang.

    As I’ve told you in the past, getting multiple camera angles is another piece of cake with 3D graphics, which is a type of CGI. Of course if you’ve got the time, you may do multiple renders of the same 3D animation of an airplane flying into a building from as many different camera angles as you like. However, the 9/11 video fakers seem to have used some oddball software that may not have had full 3D capability, and instead relied mostly on chroma keying and sprites.

    Finally, did you ever figure out what happened to UA175’s wingtips? I know you’ve been very insistent that the wingtips didn’t really cut through the steel box columns on 9/11, but cut through only the aluminum cladding.

    So then what?

    ‘I get Portugal and South America. Am surprised by Turkey. Always wanted to visit Muslim nations like Egypt or Turkey, but never figured I’d ever want to live there.’

    Turks are like Greeks — only better. Burlier, and perhaps more authentically friendly.

    Generally, they seem to be almost absurdly honest. Like, there are these private minibuses that run their own routes, picking up and discharging passengers along the way. Anywhere from ten to twenty people on the bus at any given time.

    Some people pay when they get on. Some people pay when they get off. Some people pay in the middle of the ride. Nobody seems to consider the possibility that someone might not pay at all.

    People will help you. When we deplaned in Istanbul, we found ourselves in the midst of a second-world mega-city with no idea of how to get to where we wanted to go. Some dude walked us onto the right bus, took us to the right subway, rode with us to the ferry terminal, and got us into the right line for the ferry we wanted before leaving us to our own devices.

    More anecdotes.

    So the hair situation had gotten out of hand: time to experience a Turkish barber. The same scene you’d get here in the sticks: the barber and a couple of locals, sitting around and shooting the shit. So dude starts cutting my hair — and expostulating about his enthusiasm for somebody he calls ‘the Turkish Bob Marley.’ As near as I could make out, he’d become so overcome at a concert that he’d started chopping his own forearms with a machete.

    Something like that. Anyway, the charge was five dollars or something. I made it ten dollars, considering the floor show.

    Then we stop some ten year old or so girl to ask where the train station is (somehow — I never can figure out how we communicated except by sheer good will). So she points us in the right direction and walks off — and then turns back, a smile playing around her lips. She goes through this whole bowing her head, touching her forehead, touching her chest routine.

    My guess is in school they’d just covered traditional Turkish greetings or something. Here was a chance to use it!

    Pluses about Turkey: as above. Cheap and good food, of course. Flush toilets, car rentals, and internet: all the necessary modernities. Land not as overgrazed as Greece.

    Minuses. It’s a Muslim country. That means wine is five dollars a glass rather than one or two dollars a glass — and it won’t be available at all in your least expensive restaurants.

    It’s not all sweetness and light. Public restrooms are available and clean — but there’s usually an attendant, who extracts a charge of fifty cents or so. One place was especially lavishly decorated and so on — but nobody was present. So I used it — and then dude materializes and wants five dollars.

    Also, litter. The roadside ditches are filled with drifts of empty plastic water bottles. I have a theory about this. In a seriously poor country like Morocco, it’s worth someone’s while to scavenge everything. The ground is immaculate. There won’t even be scraps of paper lying around: kindling!

    In a country that has ascended to our glorious pinnacle, people have realized littering really is a problem; Sweden, Austria et al are also immaculate.

    In between: Greece, Turkey, Mexico…litter everywhere. People still litter — but no one’s so poor they’re going to pick it up anymore.

    No hole and no 767 wreckage below it.

    because it wasn’t the nose of the jet that you’re seeing, but rather a glob of debris, that looks like the nose.

    Theory: the planes do not look real at all on the videos as they glide into the buildings

    because the video is poor resolution at a great distance. The lattice-like structure of the facade looks like a solid surface, but it isn’t.

    So what was real, and what was CGI?

    I don’t know if some of what’s out there is CGI, perhaps created as a ruse to confuse people.

    But the crash holes are real, and that means that jets crashed into the buildings.

    and eye-witness accounts that those airplanes really did just fly right into those buildings and disappear therein: nose cone, tail, and wing tips – the whole freaking shebang.

    I would expect them to ‘disappear’ into the buildings exactly as they did. The nose cone was debris that looked like a nose cone. We’ve already been over the ‘wing tips’ ad infinitum. They did not slice through steel, those claiming that they did, (or were made to look like it by CGI) – are lying.

    As I’ve told you in the past, getting multiple camera angles is another piece of cake with 3D graphics, which is a type of CGI.

    a “piece of cake”

    Okay fine. Then please provide us all with a 3D graphic of a yellow submarine flying in from the opposite direction as the 9/11 jets did, with the respective sound and background of the exact weather on that day, and the video provided on that specific day, with that specific weather, with the clouds and all the rest showing the exact weather on that day, (which would mean they would have to have created all that CGI on the same morning, so they got the weather right, and make sure there are no citizens out there with camcorders to record the explosision minus the submarines, and so forth…

    Okay?

    I’ll be waiting. How long will it take you? An hour? Two?

    Finally, did you ever figure out what happened to UA175’s wingtips?

    I’ve already mentioned that they were dragged in though the holes, bent back to be sure. But they didn’t just fall off like a rear-view mirror hitting a tollbooth.

    Which to me all makes perfect sense. Whereas your scenario requires that all those smoking holes, filmed and photographed for an hour that morning from several different angless, and yes with people standing there, were all CGI fakes. Presumably even the buildings collapsing and the people wandering around covered with dust, was all CGI faked. In fact it could be that everything you see, on any video anywhere, you assume is CGI faked.

    Lots of Youtube videos out there, I imagine that you assume they are all CGI faked.

    And why not? It’s as easy as pie to do, then why bother going out into the real world with a camera, when you can sit in your air-conditioned office, and create the most outrageous videos imaginable, that look 100% real, and make money by clicks.

    because it wasn’t the nose of the jet that you’re seeing, but rather a glob of debris, that looks like the nose.

    Nonsense. The protruding object looked just like the forward section of a jetliner which additionally cast a long, sharp neat shadow across the facade of the WTC, so it cannot possibly be debris as you insist, and in any case, as I note below, subsequent images of that area show no hole, and no real damage to it, so it was just CGI.

    Okay fine. Then please provide us …

    My point was about setting multiple camera positions in any 3D animation, and not about creating 3D assets, models or animations, as these are all distinct tasks that take time.

    Sure, I can model a Yellow Submarine and fly it around, but to do a halfway decent job would take me at least an hour or more, and that might cost you several hundred bucks.

    Look, CNN was using an orthographic view of a 3D model of Manhattan in some of its post 9/11 graphics.

    http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/damage.map.html

    Those graphics show me that by 9/11, CNN and others had access to a full 3D model of at least Manhattan and the immediate NYC environs. Yes, these graphics have solid color texture maps applied, but applying photorealistic texture maps to any 3D model is routine 3D work, not to say it isn’t tedious, exacting and time consuming work that must be done in advance and not on the fly.

    Indeed, there is a notorious flawed version of a familiar demolition sequence video from Etienne Sauret showing the collapse of WTC 1 that was presented by nukes-in-the-basement crackpot Dimitri Khalezov where the texture map for WTC 1 was incorrectly applied, resulting in skewed image map showing the wrong number of columns on the building’s exterior!

    It was an enormous screw-up because it gives away the entire game, showing that the demolition sequences were also created or modified by CGI, and again L-VIS from PVI or something like it is a good candidate for overlaying graphics so the actual collapse mechanisms cannot be seen.

    Note that there is no sign of any flash or flashes during the demolitions. Explosives always have a bright flash, so it is conceivable something like L-VIS was used to obscure those flashes.

    Very high quality models of commercial jetliners have been available for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and others, from the 1990s, in a wide variety of liveries, or paint jobs:

    Inserting the finished production into a live broadcast is made possible with software like L-VIS, and of course we’ve all been seeing this technology for a long time already with the yellow first down line in football, and the green screen weather girl on our local news.

    You wrote:

    Ah, the drag force again. But what made the holes for the wingtips, and also the wings in the first place? If the wings were bent back, they couldn’t have left those impressions, wing-shaped cuts, or whatever they were, so you’re still trying to have it both ways.

    So I used it — and then dude materializes and wants five dollars.

    I’m figuring on taking a year or two. Travel as much as I can, and then if I don’t find ‘home’, settle somewhere in South America. That’s the plan for now, but it could change.

    I feel I must extricate myself from ZOG’s demented domain. I know there are still hamlets of charm and grace here and there, but I don’t expect them to last. ZOG’s unatural and all-pervasive hate is nether-worldly, and it will destroy every last bastion of decency it can. People being happy and contented is what it hates most. Even if it destroys its ‘legitimacy’ in the Levant, as long as the dollar is the world reserve currency, the rest of us are going to suffer, or so they hope.

    Tiptoe mentioned Scotland, and I was there recently. It’s a beautiful place, with friendly people, and lots and lots of history. They still hate the English. But they’re getting multiculturalism rammed up their national arse as with a red hot poker. Revulsky would feel right at home. Every poster on a bus or retail store window featured a young black or brown male with a Scottish gal or gals. There’s nothing subtle about it.

    They want whitey gone. Replaced or blended out of existence, if that’s the best they can do, but it is overt and in-your-face. Norway too.

    Theory: the planes do not look real at all on the videos as they glide into the buildings

    because the video is poor resolution at a great distance. The lattice-like structure of the facade looks like a solid surface, but it isn’t.

    You know, I’m thinking you missed your calling. You should’ve been one of O.J.’s defense lawyers!

    So, let me get this straight. You’re saying that they mounted this very complex operation of flying planes remote control into the buildings so that they could subsequently show us these cheezy videos. Oh, I get it. They made authentic videos of the plane crashing into the building but it was so low quality that the videos looked fake. This was surely deliberately done just to f*** with our minds. What diabolical geniuses masterminded this!

    Well, also they crashed the planes into buildings so that all these people on the ground could see it — you know, “Old Philosopher” and “Unnamed Black Dude”. Also, Mark Walsh, “Harley Guy”, shouldn’t forget about that guy. Oh, also the gay Irish couple, Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick. They saw the plane slam into the building too, I think.

    As for everybody else, I guess there was just a split second available to observe this. Those other people all blinked at that exact moment.

    I would expect them to ‘disappear’ into the buildings exactly as they did.

    Yeah, right. I reckon that’s something that you and PhysicistDave can agree on then. PhysicistDave also doesn’t see much problem with one of the alleged hijackers’ passport somehow flying out of the plane and landing intact on the ground below. Well, that is a really clever guy, that PhysicistDave. He studied physics at Stanford, after all.

    The nose cone was debris that looked like a nose cone.

    Okay, but why don’t the subsequent images show the damage to the building at that spot?

    Well, whatever. I guess one could believe all this, but the thing is that you have to really want to believe it.

    I consider that most likely, not that I know for sure, or really care that much.

    In any case, one has to develop a certain nose for phoniness. Like being able to see through some of the notorious crisis actor testimony that there is for these various fake events. So, as for the linguistic tells, I am quite satisfied that real, normal people do not take a trip to Sweden, come back and say: “I just visited Scandinavia“. It’s like with the crisis actors, where you see these canned talking points that are getting inserted into the conversation somehow. And it just comes off as phony.

    By the same token, people don’t go to Thailand and come back and say they just visited Southeast Asia. I don’t believe you’ve ever been to any country in Scandinavia, by the way. All this Gatestone Institute stuff about how Sweden is the rape capital of the world or something — this is just a Zionist propaganda campaign, like all the rest of the villification campaign aimed at Arabs and Muslims generally.

    It is a very audacious propaganda campaign, you can say that much. One aspect of all this is that the whole narrative seems to only exist within a certain ultra-right-wing racist echo-sphere. Like, for example, if women really are getting raped all over the place in Sweden, why is there no travel advisory from the U.S. State Department warning people not to go there? Or, if you go to a travel agency and try to book a trip to Sweden, does the travel agent ever warn you about all the raping going on in Sweden?

    For that matter, why is all this stuff about how Swedish women getting raped so much all coming from people who live hundreds, usually thousands of miles away from Sweden. Like, Gatestone Institute is this zio/neocon outfit in New York City. Or Breitbart is some American Zionist outfit too. Why aren’t the Swedish women themselves protesting en masse about this?

    The whole thing is basically a hoax. It’s not real.

  717. I’d say one thing’s becoming pretty clear.

    Oh, I see. So that’s where you got this explanation that the nose poking out was just debris in the exact shape of the nose cone.

    Yeah, right. Actually, it’s really just too obvious that this is some sort of CGI-related blooper. All of these tortuous explaations, like the debris shaped exactly like the nose of the plane…these are just attempts at damage control by the criminals — you know, the folks who you work for.

    …that’s a related point. Cost is a consideration. Is the best restaurant in a French town better than the best restaurant in a Spanish town? Quite possibly — but you can afford the best Spanish restaurant. The French one that has or had or hopes to have a Michelin Star will be seriously expensive.*

    So Romania is (or was) like…free. Yo’ve got your choice: a weekend in Switzerland — or a month in Romania.

    So, as for the linguistic tells, I am quite satisfied that real, normal people do not take a trip to Sweden, come back and say: “I just visited Scandinavia“.

    Yes, Sherlock/Shylock, bingo! Great observation. In real life, people would name the country they visited; on the Internet, wherein people are trying to protect their identity, they might be more vague about certain details, as it lessens the possibility of identification.

    the rest of the villification campaign aimed at Arabs and Muslims generally.

    A vilification campaign is not necessary; they are a rather primitive and rape-y society, generally. Explain – Taqiyyah; Jizya; Bacha bazi; and those Rotherham rape gangs. Acid attacks, beheadings….honor killings, the woman in Belgium partially scalped for deigning to argue with Moroccan men on a bus….

    Wars for Israel has likely decimated the more highly cultured Arabs in the Middle East, just as western countries are being decimated. I’m sure they were the targets.

    why is there no travel advisory from the U.S. State Department warning people not to go there?

    Ha! And, say what? Beware of the brown people in the land of the ice people? If I am not mistaken, the Chinese government attempted to warn its citizens on local violence when traveling to certain areas in America with high black populations; it didn’t go over well, and if the Chinese can be intimidated by the World’s Hall Monitors, what chance does America have?

    and some of our people are tied up debating the intricacies of CGI and nose cones?

    Keep your eyes and the prize, folks… and the prize is the sacred 14 words.

    I am Geo!

    Please consider, the people who pulled off 9/11, are the Zionist, Jewish supremacist neocons and their treasonous Gentile vassals.

    The exact same people flooding Europe and North America with non-Westerners, and mostly single, military-age young men, (very many of whom) are sub-human rapists, drug and human traffickers, thieves, scumbags and losers. Almost all are overtly hostile to the people and culture of the nations they’re invading and whose intention is not to contribute and assimilate, but rather to conquer, leach off of, and colonize.

    None of that could or would be happening if the people of the West understood what Barbara Spectre, (and Jonathan Ruvulsky) and their ilk, have in mind.

    Not only that, but it is from this crowd that all the spiritual and cultural sewage is being force-injected into these Western societies, particularly into the children.

    Just as other things are also force injected into the children by (((Big Pharma)))

    Just as we’re all locked down, and menaced by government goons, on the tyrannical orders of this same crowd.

    If you turn on a television, you’ll see their handiwork. Anti-white programming on steroids.

    Today the people of Gaza are experiencing these people’s true nature up close and personal, just as the people of Russia and Eastern Europe did a century ago. To be followed by the people of Germany a bit later.

    The thing is Geo, on 9/11 these people bet the ranch, and put all their eggs into one basket, in the gamble of gambles, in a demonic plan to orchestrate a crime so momentous and heinous, that it would cause Americans, (in particular, but NATO as well) to march all over the planet butchering and slaughtering all of Zion’s immediate enemies, with the rest of her enemies, (us) slated for slow and depraved extermination by Ruvulsky’s and Spectre’s beloved orcs.

    just a small sampling of the middle aged Muslim men convicted of the serial gang rape of British school girls.

    If the people of the West, understand that the same people inviting these sub-human orcs into their societies, to rape and loot, are the same people who murdered thousands of American citizens on 9/11, in order to start endless wars for Israel, then perhaps, just perhaps, that might roust them from their eternal, God damn willful ignorance mind-slumber.

    I’d say one thing’s becoming pretty clear.

    Israel is firmly rubbing our collective snouts in who boss man is. American Jews don’t think this is such a great idea; but Israel does.

    They can’t help it. By now, they’re so utterly convinced of their own special chosenness, that they believe their pig god is urging them on. They’re reveling in the genocide, exactly as their talmud and torah lays out.

    The goyim have been so subservient to them for so long, they’re convinced it will last forever. And indeed, were it only up to the corrupt ruling class of the West.. the Bidens and Macrons and Trudeaus of the world, it would last for ever.

    Gaza would be plotted out for luxury beach front real estate, (its denizens expelled and ‘dealt with’), perhaps with Jared Kushner leading the sales teams. All rebuilt using German and American tax dollars, with all the profits going to these unspeakably repulsive rats.

    Who knows, maybe that’s what’s going to happen anyways.

    Perhaps they’re right. Perhaps the goyim of the Western world are so utterly corrupt at the top, and absolutely committed to bovine ignorance at the bottom, that they’ll pull it off. With some grumbling from some elements in the middle, that will be dealt with Jan 6th style.

    “It’s the other way around… America is Israel/Jewdom‘a pet chihuahua… or more bluntly put, bitch.”

    Yeah, ….. but shouldn’t be. The money changers (Wall Street bankers with high preponderance of Jewish types, especially at the top of these organizations, …. of which ‘Israeli-interests’ do seem to be a special interest to many of these deeply-pocketed and deeply financially-well-connected Jewish characters) have ended up leading the racket that really gave these faux-west globalists some good legs (petro-dollar scheme allowing for debt-fueled money expansions, ultimately allowing for the purchase of international assets that otherwise could not have been purchased for price).

    The chihuahua has gained control over this racket, and sees itself as the mastermind, … without the ‘masterminding’, the racket falls apart, is their pretension (probably a partly true pretension). So it is very goading to these Wall Street bankers that the other so-called junior partner, … the House of Saud and other aligned oil-rich Arab Princedoms (because the senior partner should be the American hegemonic brute, … none of this petro-dollar racket business can continue without the ongoing military threats emanating from the hegemonic brute) doesn’t think this ‘masterminding’ is as important to the scheme, as the excess cheaply-produced oil the Sauds are sitting on, for which continued Saudi fealty to the scheme is therefore key. A 3-way impasse has therefore ensued (partly because Biden has been the guy, that says, in ever conflict he involves America in: –‘We support our ally [that we are otherwise manipulating], as long as it takes for our ally to ‘win’, American interests be damned’, …. which only ensures that the faux-west globalists ‘win’, then).

    Iran should force the issue now, and call the bluff. Bludgeon the petro-dollar-racket co-conspirators, in the dark alley, leaving them cut, but only slightly wounded, in a way that should add much fuel to the fire that is already probably well-burning now, … the fire of the two junior partners to the petro-dollar scheme each fighting for more supremacy with the petro-dollar control triad. Iran should go after Israeli assets in Saudi Arabia now. The world is watching (including regular Islamist-type Saud citizens, from which the House of Saud draws it’s power, ….. call the fucking bluff already).

    this is true because Jews control America’s money.

    The only way any of this is ever going to end, is either the American people figure out a way to End the Fed,

    But neither of these things will happen soon enough to prevent what will likely be a World War III

    I just hope all the hyper-sonic nukes and so forth are all aimed at the ‘decision centers’ all around the world. Perhaps once these ‘decision makers’ are gone, the world can rebuild a civilization that would spend its resources on uplifting the human condition, rather than grinding humanity into the dirt.

    Just imagine where we’d be, in this twenty first century, if we were spending those endless trillions and all that human capital on exalting the human spirit and achievement, rather than relentless hatred and war and suffering and misery. Zion’s calling cards.

    The ultimate conspiracy theory which is becoming manifestly true is very simple.
    The Jewish financial mafia have achieved virtually complete control of the U.S.
    and British economies and political systems and are extrapolating that model to
    the rest of the world by military force, propaganda, financial manipulation and
    trade policy.

    The forces of resistance to Jewish power are Russia, China and a majority of the
    Muslim and other BRIC countries. The Muslims are the weakest link in military
    power. That explains the wars to subdue them over the last 40 years, including
    the backing of Iraq against Iran to weaken both in the 1980’s. This was part of
    Anglo-Am-Zionist strategy to foment conflict between the Sunni and Shia, but

    Sweden: Scientists Prosecuted After Proving Most Rapes There Committed by NonWhites – December 22, 2021

    This is what has happened to Professor Kristina Sundquist from Sweden’s Lund University, who, alongside two colleagues, conducted detailed research into the profile of those who commit sexual violence in Sweden. The research was not aimed at racially profiling the offenders, as the scientists themselves put it, but they nevertheless have proved that the ethnic profile of rapists is – by far – disproportionately non-White.

    What is perhaps even more worrying than the above figures is that it is younger children in particular that are being targeted. The graph below (which comes from BRA’s report), shows that 55% of child rapes were carried out on 0-14 year-old girls, 10% of child rapes were carried out on 0-14 year-old boys, 33% of child rapes were carried out on 15-17 year-old girls and 2% of child rapes were carried out on 15-17 year-old boys.

    This is official data from Sweden’s Crime Prevention Council (BRA) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

    In March 2018, newspaper Expressen investigated gang rape court cases from the two preceding years and found that there were 43 men having been convicted. Their average age was 21 and 13 were under the age of 18 when the crime was committed. Of the convicted, 40 out of the 43 were either immigrants (born abroad) or born in Sweden to immigrant parents.[54]

    Ukrainian Women in Sweden Warned Not to Dress in a Way That Could Provoke Muslim Men
    Remix, May 26, 2022
    Ukrainian women at the Galaxen refugee center in Olofström, Sweden, have been told not to dress in a way that could provoke men from “other cultures” who also live at Galaxen housing facility, according to the Swedish online newspaper, Nyheter Idag.

    NYHETERIDAG Onsdag 25 maj 2022 –

    “Ukrainska kvinnor fick klädkod pa flyktingboende – skulle inte provocera män fran andra kulturer.”

    “enligt Gitana, sade den platsansvariga pa boendet att kvinnorna ska anvanda latt kladsel sa att kroppsdelar syns, som korta shorts eller kjol.”
    [according to Gitana, the site manager at the residence, she said that the women should not wear light clothing, with parts of the body visible, such as short shorts or skirts]
    Slutet. [The end.]

    So, I wonder why Ukrainian women must keep covered around “men from other cultures?” Any ideas?

    Here’s a random observation from a man who claims to be living in Malmo since 1984 – “I’ll write about an experience I had recently. I was watching a TV program made in Norway, and the host was out to interview people in town, there were some pretty young girls, in small outfits, who were smiling and shining. And I realized, you don’t see that in Sweden these days. At least not in Malmo, where I live. Sure, you can see it in certain safe suburbs, on the more exclusive beaches, and such, but I don’t see much of that carefree attitude in Sweden anymore…. Change happens gradually, and you might not think about them. It’s like when a woman was brutally raped and murdered on her way home from a tram in Gothenburg Sweden. She was followed home by an American-Ethiopian man who had just celebrated his son’s fifth birthday…. After that, women avoided the trams late at night. “Good old Gothenburg,” as we used to say in Sweden – an expression that isn’t used anymore. Today, the white people are leaving the city because it is becoming too unsafe….”

    If you want the gory details of the rapes, for which the locations were listed above, several of whom were very young girls, you let me know. I’m familiar with the rape/murder by the Ethiopian man, if you want those grizzly details, as well.

    When you consider the massive over-representation of immigrant men in the recent rape/crime statistics, you can reasonably assert there was very little rape occurring in Sweden prior to multiculturalism. If women refuse to leave their homes at night, and refuse to roam anywhere alone, rape statistics will go down, yes?

    During the course of my research, I came across several mentions of unreported rape estimates, in large percentages (60-80%), as the authorities do not really prosecute, or the offenders get slaps on the wrist, and the victims must then deal with harassment and threats from the family/friends of the offenders. I believe this is accurate.

    And, please always remember and never forget……… you know what to do, Jon Leibowitz.

    Well, Geo, the problem here is that I just don’t really believe this story that Sweden is the rape capital of the world. So, if anybody is supposed to drill deeper into this and back up what they say, it really should be you.

    But it’s all strange bullshit, really. Like the graph that you present, like it looks like Sweden has more than 40x as much raping going on as Canada, for example. Is that really credible? After all, Canada is at least as “diverse” as Sweden at this point. A 40-fold difference? Well, maybe it’s true that there are 40 times more “rapes” reported to the cops in Sweden as in Canada, but is there really 40 times as much raping going on? I really doubt it. Probably the amount of actual raping in Sweden vs. Canada is broadly similar, but there is some big difference in how these numbers are tallied.

    I live in Spain, and there are a lot of people who are pretty bigoted, don’t like Arabs and so on, but I never heard any of these people claiming that women are getting raped all over the place. But I reckon there are at least as many Muslims in Spain per capita as in Sweden, stands to reason. But Gatestone Institute and Breitbart and the rest are not claiming, as far as I ever recall, that women are getting raped all over the place in Spain.

    It’s particularly (though not exclusively) Sweden that these Zionist outfits are targetting with thiskind of propaganda. Why would that be, I wonder? Could it be because the Swedes have been quite pro-Palestine? Because in 2014, the Swedish government recognized Palestine as a nation? That’s just speculation on my part, but it strikes me as a theory worth considering, at least…

    Where does all the raping in Sweden happen?

    In – no-go zones (there are 60);

    Look, a “no-go-zone” is just a relatively poor neighborhood, which is where racial minorities are concentrated, though also probably poor white people. That there is more violent crime in such areas, as opposed to areas that are well-off… that’s really pretty vacuous. One notes that we just have the repetition of talking points here. Not a single link one could look at.

    on cruise ships; at public festivals; youth festivals; concerts; in forests near train stations; public toilets; public parks; on trains; on buses; in hotels; in the rapist’s flat, on camera; whilst in Paris; refugee centers…

    On cruise ships??? The raping in Sweden takes place on cruise ships??? I guess you mean while the cruise ship is docked in a port in Sweden??? So the swarthy savages bought tickets on cruise ships, or they are working on the cruise ship in some capacity and also do some raping on the side? (I guess there’s a labor shortage, so raping the passengers is not a firing offense. Probably they just get a warning: bad boy, tsk tsk.)

    “At public festivals…”. Nah, I really don’t think so…

    “In forests near train stations…” So some woman is there waiting for the train and the Muzzie savages drag the woman into the woods and rape her there. This is going on a lot, eh? Well, I don’t think so, but maybe you could come up with a case or two, provide a credible link…

    Women are getting raped on trains and buses. In hotels, you say? So the rapist actually books a hotel room and drags women into the hotel room to rape them…. Can you provide a link to a case of this?

    But here is the strangest one you cite: “whilst in Paris”. The raping in Sweden happens whilst in Paris???!!!! Gee, you’d think that anybody accused of carrying out a rape in Sweden would have an iron-clad alibi if they were in Paris at the time… Well, I guess this is just incoherent babbling that would be typical of machine generated text…

    Public toilets… Is that the men’s room or the ladies’ room. Do they enter the ladies room and rape women there, or do they drag women into the men’s room?

    But this leads to another question that I would ponder. We’re talking about all these Swedish women getting raped, right? This got me thinking finally:

    Where are all the Swedish men?

    Most of these Swedish women have boyfriends or husbands. And regardless of that, they have brothers, fathers, sons… So all of these women are just getting raped all over the place, frequently in public places according to you, but the Swedish men are just helpless to do anything about it.

    By the way, the case of the Ethiopian guy is the Elin Krantz case, right? From 2010. I think it must be, because it’s the only case of an Ethiopian guy raping and murdering a white Swedish girl. I guess it happened but it is a one-off. Some deranged Ethiopian guy did this, but it never happened before or since. And that was nearly 14 years ago.

    Look, the high number of reported rapes in Sweden, as compared to other countries, as best I understand, is because Sweden has a very expanded definition of what sexual assault is, and a lot more incidents are reported, but also, I’m pretty sure that most of this is domestic violence. I don’t believe there is so much more domestic violence in Sweden than in other countries, but it seems it is reported a lot more, or that the numbers are tallied in a different way that leads to much higher numbers. But the other thing is that domestic violence is mostly between people of the same racial background.

    This story of women being dragged into the nearby forest from a train station… one can’t say categorically that such a thing never happened, but it would be exceedingly rare. The case of the Ethiopian guy raping and murdering the white Swedish girl, Elin Krantz, it seems that this happened exactly once.

    But this is basically just bullshit. Okay, there are certain things that did happen for real, like the Elin Krantz case, but it’s the only such incident one can find. The way this is being presented is that Ethiopians are raping white women all over the place. That doesn’t seem to be true. Besides, there are really not very many Ethiopians in Sweden anyway.

    This whole thing about the rape epidemic in Sweden is just a Zionist propaganda campaign basically. You can see that the main sources for all this stuff are things like Gatestone Institute, which is a Zionist outfit run by some woman named Nina Rosenwald. Breitbart is also a Zionist propaganda organ. And I think you’d find that all the people pushing this stuff are Zionist shills of some sort or other.

    The crime dated back more than 10 years to July 27, 2013, when a woman reported being attacked by two male migrants whom she met at a festival in the western Swedish town of Uddevalla.
    The victim told police at the time of the offense that she had been pushed to the ground by the men, who tore off her clothes and attempted to force her to have sex. According to the Samnytt news outlet, the victim told police that she had been penetrated by the men’s fingers, but was unsure whether they had managed to fully penetrate her with their penises.
    After a commotion, the attackers fled the scene, and the victim was found by passers-by half-naked on a park bench. She had also been robbed.

    *Sweden: 4 Eritreans Who Gang-Raped 40-Year-Old Swedish Woman Will Not Be Deported – Denes Albert and John Cody, Remix, January 4, 2023

    The four Eritreans who committed aggravated rape against a 40-year-old Swedish woman in Stockholm in June of last year have been sentenced to jail. However, despite the prosecutor’s request, the court decided they will not be deported….

    Prosecutor Axel Frick at the Södertörn Prosecutor’s Office said at the time that the crime is serious due to the fact it was a gang rape and the men “showed particular recklessness or brutality” by filming the abuse.
    Prosecutor Axel Frick argued that all four rapists should be deported to Eritrea and banned from returning to Sweden for the next 15 years if convicted. However, the court ruled that all the men can stay in Sweden, and authorities will be barred from deporting them for this crime.

    Media avoided naming suspects’ foreign origins

    When the case was first reported, a number of Swedish outlets, including TT, the Swedish national news agency, claimed that the four suspects were from the Swedish cities and towns of Sandviken, Huddinge, Motala, and Vallentuna. However, Swedish news outlet NyaTider wrote at the time that these news outlets “chose to omit the fact that all of the suspected men come from Eritrea and need an interpreter,” despite police having released that information.

    Sweden offers a stark contrast to countries like Hungary and Poland –
    Sweden’s rape statistics differ drastically from other regions of Europe that have refused to take in migrants, with 73 per 100,000 citizens reporting a case of rape in 2017, representing a 24 percent increase in the last decade.
    In contrast, Hungary has a rate of 3.9 per 100,000 citizens reporting rape in the country. Poland’s rate is even lower, at 3.2 per 100,000.

    *Migrant Crisis: 43% of All Rapes in Sweden Are of Children

    CHRIS ROSSETTI (EDITOR) • 9 AUGUST, 2017, National Vanguard

    LAST YEAR, in Strängnäs, Sweden, a 17-year-old non-White “migrant” named Mikael Shaba met a 12-year-old Swedish girl on Snapchat. He persuaded her to visit him at his home. When she arrived, he tore off the girl’s clothes and raped her so forcefully that she began bleeding from a torn vagina. After his rape conviction, the court imposed a sentence of….50 hours of community service!

    15 APRIL, 2016 SOMALIAN MIGRANT “Muhammed” received just 180 hours (22 days) of community service last year after he was prosecuted for attacking and brutally raping a 12 year old girl.

    Now 13, ‘Ida’ has told local Swedish paper, Sundsvalls Tidning, about her most recent ordeal. Two brothers of the rapist go to her school, from which she has had to be withdrawn. Now five or six times she has been attacked by the men and their friends in public, at the local shops and around the neighbourhood.

    *Sweden: Non-White Migrant Sex Attacks Covered Up

    ROSEMARY W. PENNINGTON (EDITOR) • 11 JANUARY, 2016 National Vanguard

    SWEDEN’S PRIME MINISTER [Stefan Lofven] has condemned a “double betrayal” of women after allegations that police covered up sexual harassment by recent immigrants at a music festival in Stockholm. Meanwhile, reports have emerged of attacks on women in Malmö on New Year’s Eve.

    Groups of refugees molested concertgoers at We Are Stockholm, Europe’s largest youth festival, in the summer of 2014, according to internal police memos obtained by Dagens Nyheter, a daily newspaper.
    “These are so-called refugee youths, specifically from Afghanistan. Several of the gang were arrested for sexual molestation,” one police memo said.

    Sweden: Non-White “Refugee” Rapes Toddler, 27 OCTOBER, 2015

    Police investigated the incident, according to Swedish newspaper Kuällsposten, but found that the workers in charge of the refugee center refused to give up any information that might incriminate the rapist.
    The officials on the Swedish Migration Board attempted to cover up the rape of the toddler in order to protect a 40-year-old Muslim illegal, Speisa reports. Police confirmed that the leftists moved the rapist to another building in an attempt to thwart his arrest.

    Since Sweden decided to open borders in the name of multiculturalism, violent crime has risen by 300 percent and rapes by almost 1,500 percent.

    Suspect detained in brutal murder of Swedish girl –
    A suspect in the murder of 19-year-old Swedish student Suzanne Zedberg has been taken into custody. A gun said to have been used to shoot the victim has also been found. Her body was found charred outside Paris. (Report: R.Ranucci) Issued on: 26/04/2008 – 09:52 Modified: 27/04/2008 – 18:21

    Floor Jansen, Nightwish (probably the best female vocalist in popular music, yet no one knows who she is because she doesn’t twerk, shuck, nor jive – check out Ghost Love Score @ Wacken) – “I was shocked to read the comments on my previous post about the rapes and sexual assaults at the Swedish festival Bravalla.” “Five rapes, and 12 sexual assaults on the Swedish festival Bravalla (2016). Mumford and Sons stood up as artists and said they will not play at this festival anymore until they can promise more safety for the women.” I’m sure she’s just misinformed.

    Look, the high number of reported rapes in Sweden, as compared to other countries, as best I understand, is because Sweden has a very expanded definition of what sexual assault is,

    Look, this line of defense is essentially Hasbara BS. I know very well that Sweden has a broad definition of sexual assault – so what? If a strange man forcibly puts his hands on a woman/girl in a sexual manner, that is a sexual assault, and like just about every other crime on earth, there are degrees. Sure, uninvited vaginal penetration is much different than a groping of breasts. And? I’ve been groped/attacked. NEVER by a white man. Mestizo men/boys are predatory when they are in a majority – Multiculturalism 101, Texas edition.

    And I think you’d find that all the people pushing this stuff are Zionist shills of some sort or other

    Yes, Jewry is pushing for the destabilization of western society by various means. Any thoughts on the damage done by Hersch Lauterpacht, Raphael Lemkin, Peter Beninson, Aron Trainin? Human rights, a rat’s ass….

    as far as I ever recall, that women are getting raped all over the place

    Oh, they raping everybody up in here – see below.

    Why would that be, I wonder?

    Do you really wonder, or do you just lie to yourself and everyone else? Why can’t the answer be that certain groups of humans are just more violent, more derelict, more stupid, more impulsive, more ideologically driven, less inclined to think critically, less inclined to respect social boundaries, more inclined to resent/hate those who manage to succeed, than other groups?

  759. @Wielgus

    ‘Once they’ve exsanguinated the current host, maybe the plan is to move on to another one.
    Or maybe they are just stupid and cannot see that far ahead.’

    It must be the latter. What other hosts are out there — at least hosts able to nurture and protect an Israel?

    Russia’s days of being able to maintain a Cuba are long gone — and they don’t seem too enamored of Jews to begin with. A future China might be able to make it happen — but China falling under Jewish domination strikes me as distinctly improbable.

    There’s the EU — but (a) quite a few of the more easterly components of that are suspicious of Jews themselves, (b) that the EU is going to become a hegemon interested in exerting military force outside of Europe is doubtful, and (c) I’m skeptical of the EU’s own long-term prospects as a centralized, internationally aggressive state. The various components of the EU may find support for Israel a palliative for their own Islamophobia — but does that translate into willing service on the scale practiced by the US? Can France convince Poles they need to fight and die in Iran or whatever for Israel?

  760. This literally made me laugh out loud.

    ‘US says Israel is complying with international law.’

    Look, a “no-go-zone” is just a relatively poor neighborhood

    BS, Repulsky. Are you implying that poor people are inherently criminal, and that violent/sexual criminality is caused by disadvantaged socioeconomic factors?

    I never said anything about poorer people being inherently criminal. But I do think that there is more crime in the poorer neighborhoods. That said, I don’t think there is really that much crime in Sweden anyway, but what little there is would tend to be concentrated in certain kinds of poorer neighborhoods. I would have thought that everybody who is not some kind of Okie from Muskokie, a hick basically, knows that this stuff is basically bullshit. I mean the whole notion that Sweden is some kind of crime-ridden hell-hole with people being raped in the streets, women being dragged off regularly into the woods to be raped and so on… it’s just sensationalist nonsense.

    Most of what you’re doing now is just a copy/paste massive regurgitation of tabloid headlines. It’s all basically Der Stürmer sort of material, except villifying Muslims instead of Jews. (AND the people behind this are basically Jews, Zionist Jews.) Now, maybe there’s a case here and there that is real, like the Ellin Krantz case. But that was in 2010 and there is no other case of an Ethiopian raping/murdering some Swedish white girl. I can’t find any such thing. Probably most of these Der Stürmer type tabloid headlines don’t even correspond to anything real, just fake news. But, you know, this is like saying that A-list black celebrities are constantly murdering their white wives. Except there is exactly one case of that, as far as I know, which is O.J. Simpson, and that was 30 years ago at this point.

    None of this stands up to any examination. This moron geokat62 puts up a graph that shows that Sweden has 40 times as many rapes as Canada. And, I guess, presumably (that is what’s being implied anyway…) that difference is attributable to the less than 10% of the Swedish population that is Muslim. So, what are you saying? That the Muslims are raping at 400x the rate of the rest of the population? Is that credible??? (Well, no, it’s not. It’s based on comparing numbers that are not really meant to be compared.)

    Anyway, I have to stop now. I’m increasingly suspicious that I’m probably here talking to some sort of Bot. If this isn’t a Bot, it’s some kind of pathological liar, like that Rurik. Rurik, like you, has claimed that he visits Scandinavia regularly. No normal person talks like this! Like I said, that kind of thing is a dead giveaway. And, besides, anybody who really did visit Sweden or any other Scandinavian country regularly would surely know that this is just bullshit.

  762. @Jonathan Revusky

    I never said anything about poorer people being inherently criminal.

    Yes, that was your exact implication.

    Sure, a poor person might be more likely to shoplift a steak or a food item from a grocery store; Dave Grohl tells a story about being a starving musician, without food for days, so he and his impoverished White bandmates would gather their coins to purchase lettuce and carrots, and they would steal a bottle of salad dressing. What they did NOT do was loot WaWa/Target/WalMart/Gucci because they was so poor and needed to buy milk for they babies.

    what little there is would tend to be concentrated in certain kinds of poorer neighborhoods.

    What “little” there is IS concentrated in the areas where immigrants live, wander, travel, etc. I think wanderlust has a different connotation with the New Swedes.

    Okie from Muskokie, a hick basically,

    In point of fact, these people have been correct, and certainly more honest, about inherent behavioral differences in human races/cultures than those who must lie to keep the peace in polite society, which is rather strange, since polite society is usually White society, in most cases.

    I think those who live is smaller communities subjected to multiculturalism, as in the American South, lived/live in closer proximity to diversity, so they were/are subjected to the Reality of minority enrichment. Such is the case with Sweden, as there aren’t as many areas for retreat.

    villifying Muslims instead of Jews.

    Is it vilification if it’s true?

    Most of what you’re doing now is just a copy/paste massive regurgitation of tabloid headlines. It’s all basically Der Stürmer sort of material,

    Oh? Whence do you draw your counter-argument of – I don’t think so! You copied and pasted! Fake news!

    Sweden: Charges Pending for Unapproved Research

    Dr. Sundquist published research that a common factor among the majority of rape convicts was immigrant background. She is now under investigation because those findings had not been ‘pre-approved’ by the government.
    Sven R. Larson — February 16, 2022

    According to Samnytt.se, Kristina Sundquist, a Swedish physician and professor at Lund University, is under investigation by prosecutor for publishing research results that were not pre-approved by government.
    In a statistical analysis of factors common to men convicted of rape, Dr. Sundquist and her team found that a majority of them had immigrant background. Their analysis covered multiple factors, including age, psychiatric disorders, and prior criminal records. Dr. Sundquist’s team unexpectedly identified immigrant background as a common factor.
    Considering their findings relevant enough, they published them in Forensic Science Research, a peer-reviewed journal published by the Academy of Forensic Science.
    Their article was reported in a complaint….. According to the complaint, a copy of which has been obtained by_Samnytt.se, Dr. Sundquist—….had complied with Swedish law and obtained an ethics permit prior to starting the project. However, the complaint alleged, the permit did not cover the actual results subsequently published by Dr. Sundquist and her team…. [WTF? Sounds like indigenous reasoning/jurisprudence to me.]

    Sweden: Ethics board wants professor prosecuted for investigating migrant rape activity

    In Sweden, it is unethical and illegal to investigate unwelcome truths. Soon it will be that way all over the West….
    “Swedish professor accused of more illegal research on immigrants,” translated from “Svensk professor anklagas för mer olaglig forskning om invandrare,” Samnytt, February 12, 2022…
    The doctor and professor Kristina Sundquist, active at Lund University, is suspected of further cases of illegal research on immigrants. This appears from documents Samnytt has read.
    One of the allegations concerns a study on indoor and outdoor rape published last year. The report shows, among other things, that immigrants committed the majority of all rapes, both outdoors and indoors, between 2009 and 2015. However, immigrants account for a larger proportion of outdoor rapes than of those committed indoors.
    The purpose of the study was not primarily to investigate the background of rapists…
    The Board of Appeal for Ethical Review believes that the recent study on rape is also “unethical” and that Kristina Sundquist lacks an ethics permit for it. Therefore, the board wants her, in her capacity as responsible professor, to be prosecuted for it….

    So, what are you saying?

    There is NO ambivalence to what I am saying. Muslims/Africans/non-Europeans will rape, pillage, ruin, Sweden if they remain unopposed and do not encounter Viking jackboots on their necks and backsides as they are booted from Scandinavia.

    I’m increasingly suspicious that I’m probably here talking to some sort of Bot.

    That is a convenient exit strategy, which you seem to employ whenever you encounter someone unwilling to put up with your Hasbara nonsense.

    I never said I travel to Scandinavia frequently; it’s a lengthy trip, and there are many nations within Europe/Scandinavia. I do personally know a few people who were born and still live therein; I am kept informed of things from their perspective, you Nimrod.

    Moron? Look who’s talking, lol! The case for rapes going through the roof in Europe in general and Sweden in particular is an easy one to make, especially if you take into consideration one very important aspect of the migration phenomenon… most of the migrants coming to Europe are males.

    Excerpts from Europe’s Man Problem
    Migrants to Europe skew heavily male—and that’s dangerous
    :

    But the result is that 66.26 percent of adult migrants registered through Italy and Greece over the past year were male, according to the International Organization of Migration.

    That imbalance might not sound radical, but it is, especially when you look more closely at who those males are. It’s true that many male migrants hope that, if granted asylum, they will be joined in Europe by their wives and children, who would help balance out national sex ratios. But importantly, more than 20 percent of migrants are minors below the age of 18, and the IOM estimates that more than half of those minors traveling to Europe are traveling as unaccompanied minors—90 percent of whom are males

    To see how these overall figures affect specific countries—and why there is reason for concern—consider the case of Sweden, which has been especially transparent about its migration statistics and whose ratios mirror the broader trend in Europe in many respects.
    According to Swedish government statistics, as of the end of November, 71 percent of all applicants for asylum to Sweden in 2015 were male

    There are also clearly negative effects for women in male-dominated populations. Crimes such as rape and sexual harassment become more common in highly masculinized societies, and women’s ability to move about freely and without fear within society is curtailed.

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/europe-refugees-migrant-crisis-men-213500/

    There are a couple of other realities that need to be taken into consideration to get the complete picture as to why Europe in general and Sweden in particular are fertile ground for a rape epidemic.

    Allow me to use a couple of stereotypical images to make my point…

    Typical looking Scandinavian beauty:

    Typical looking migrant:

    Now, could you imagine what a male migrant who arrives in Sweden is thinking about after wolfing down a kabob in the early evening? Especially if they arrived without a female accompanying them. They’re in a bit of a predicament, no? What to do for the next ten to twenty years during those long and lonely nights?

    ‘…I would have thought that everybody who is not some kind of Okie from Muskokie, a hick basically, knows that this stuff is basically bullshit.

    I’d like to disagree with you, and I went to Stockholm in 2015 fully prepared to disagree, but what I saw was a very nice (if somewhat cold and expensive) country consisting mostly of white people with a some impressively well-integrated Middle-Eastern types. I mean, when the coffee shop clerk happens to look like Omar Sharif but takes the time to give you clear and detailed directions, what precisely is there to get outraged about?

    So we were only there for three days or so, and admittedly we weren’t conducting a sociological study, but things really did look just fine. The children on excursions looked happy and well-cared for, pickled herring was a culinary discovery, and the Restaurang Kypt An (or something like that) was very good and not incredibly expensive.

    It’s also to be noted that Sweden is the land where Julian Assange was dubiously charged with rape. So it’s possible the Swedish rape thing is overblown.

    Well integrated, huh (nb – try taking a guess as to what the ethnicity is of the most high-profile gang leader in Sweden?).

    Sweden’s new normal: Bombs in the suburbs on a weeknight 
    Gang members have begun bombing the homes of each other’s families — and everyone feels at risk
    :

    STOCKHOLM — When the blast ran through the Stockholm suburb of Hässelby Villastad on a weekday night last week, I was sitting in my living room about to send a text.
    The front windows rattled so hard I thought they might shatter and I broke off typing mid-word.
    As I went upstairs to check if my daughter was OK, she came out of her bedroom looking confused. 
    “I’m pretty sure that was a bomb,” I said as the wail of sirens from emergency services vehicles filled the evening air. 
    I’m no expert on how bombs sound but we already have had two bomb attacks in this part of the city this year, so the odds were that this was number three. 
    The first bombing, in January, blew a football-sized hole in an apartment block near where I often cycle. Four arrests were made following the attack, local media reported at the time.
    The second, in March, knocked a whole row of wooden terraced houses off their foundations behind my son’s secondary school. Six people were detained in the wake of that attack. 
    This bomb was even closer to home.
    From the photos posted on Swedish news sites, I could see the building that had been targeted was an apartment block on my route to the local shop. There were no immediate reports of arrests in the case.
    I could see residents walking over broken glass and evacuated to a nearby primary school. Three people were taken to hospital.
    What started as internal conflict between rival drug gangs has spun into a spiral of revenge attacks as gang members — often frustrated in their attempts to kill each other — have begun bombing the homes of each other’s families. 
    These family members — parents, siblings, cousins — live all over Stockholm and across Sweden’s central southeast region, giving the attacks a seemingly random feel.
    Hours after the attack on the apartment block in Hässelby, a bomb ripped off the front walls of an apartment in Linköping, a town 200 km to the south. 
    Days later, a 25-year-old woman was killed in Uppsala, 70 km north of the Swedish capital, by a bomb placed outside the wrong house. 
    Days later, a 25-year-old woman was killed in Uppsala, 70 km north of the Swedish capital, by a bomb placed outside the wrong house.
    The upswell of violence has been so intense, widespread and chaotically executed — inexperienced teenage boys are often recruited to carry out the attacks — that there is a growing sense here that no one is safe from it. 
    So far this year there have been 134 bomb attacks in Sweden, up from 90 in all of 2022. At the same time, the number of shootings remains very high compared with other European states: 289 so far this year and 391 in 2022, in a country of 10 million people
    .
    Last week, a young man was shot dead close to a football pitch in southern Stockholm as scores of young children were training. A coach spoke of shepherding around 60 children into a far corner of the field so they wouldn’t be hit by stray bullets. There were no immediate reports of arrests in the case.
    “Everyone was really upset,” the coach told national broadcaster SVT. “Everyone was scared.” 
    Government missteps
    On Thursday evening, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson made a rare “speech to the nation” that was broadcast live on national television, seemingly with the aim of demonstrating that he is on the case. 
    He sought to outline how his government plans to get to grips with the violence through increased police resources, longer sentences for convicted criminals, and new surveillance powers. He has even raised the idea of calling in the army after 11 gang-related deaths in September alone. 
    But he also had to acknowledge the extremity of the situation both historically and relative to neighboring states.
    “Sweden has never seen anything like this,” he said. “No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this.”
    Kristersson, leader of the center-right Moderate Party, won a tight election last fall on a promise to crack down on crime after what he has sought to cast as years of failure by his “naive” predecessors, the Social Democrats. 
    Alongside his far-right backers the Sweden Democrats, Kristersson has sought to link rising violent crime to high levels of immigration and what he called poorly managed integration. 
    But Kristersson’s lack of progress against violent crime is already undermining confidence in his analysis of the problem and his ability to turn things around. Opinion polls show rising support for the Social Democrats and stagnant support for the Moderates. 
    The government has yet to bring to justice Sweden’s most high-profile gang leader, Rawa Majid, who continues to operate with seeming impunity from Turkey, where he was recently granted citizenship.
    A clash between Majid and a former ally called Ismail Abdo is believed to be behind much of the recent violence in Stockholm

    Outside the apartment block in Hässelby on the morning after the bombing, a group of residents had gathered by the police cordon in what seemed like shocked silence. 
    One older man who didn’t want to give his name said he’d grown up in the building and had come back to see the damage because he couldn’t believe the attack could have happened here. 
    One unnamed woman who was evacuated told local radio she didn’t know how she had got out of the house after the blast or where she would spend the next night.
    Over the days that followed the broken glass was swept away and wooden boards were nailed across the cracked window frames.
    But on Monday morning, smoke was rising again over Hässelby after a detonation in a terraced house at 6:28 a.m. triggered a large fire.
    The address was linked to a man accused of a gang-related shooting in a southern suburb last week. 
    Blast number four for the year.

If you sat down and thought about the figures for a minute, you’d realize that this can’t possibly be true. For whatever imponderable reasons there could be more traffic fatalities in one country than another, but it would never be a forty-fold difference.

    The reason that the reported number of rapes is so much higher than in other countries is because they have some very expanded definition of what rape is, the methodology for tallying up the total is different… But again, any forty-fold difference in the amount of raping in Sweden as compared to Canada is surely totally spurious.

    But anyway, all this stuff about Sweden being the rape capital of the world was some Zionist campaign that I thought had reached its peak quite a few years ago. Most of this stuff can be traced back to some outfit called the Gatestone Institute, which is just a totally Zionist/neocon outfit. Breitbart was pushing all this crap really hard. I don’t know if they still are. And, generally speaking, there is this whole network of Islamophobic fake news sites out there…

    I’ve already brought up some very common-sense objections to this whole thing. For one thing, where are the Swedish men? All their women, wives, girlfriends, daughters… they’re all getting dragged off and raped and these Swedish white men are just helpless to do anything about it. Or they’ve been psychologically castrated by decades of feminism… well, c’mon…. But why are there no travel advisories warning people not to visit Sweden because it’s so dangerous? Because it’s not dangerous at all to visit Sweden. It’s one of the safest countries in the world. And really, anybody who is not an Okie from Muskokie (or Paul Craig Roberts, who must be senile by now) knows this.

    I guess you’ve got a point. A forty-fold increase is quite remarkable.

    Yet, I still have a lingering suspicion that there might be some legitimacy to this figure.

    How so, you ask? Take bombings for instance. According to that article I referenced in my previous post, Sweden had experienced 134 bomb attacks for the first nine months of 2023 , up from 90 in all of 2022.

    I did a quick search for the number of bomb attacks in Canada in 2023 and not one headline appeared.

    According to your logic, however, Canada like Sweden should have around 134 bomb attacks, plus or minus 10%.

    But it’s virtually zero. I guess that means Sweden did not experience any bomb attacks in 2023 and the papers that cooked up those numbers are probably Zionist-owned and are trying to give the Muslim migrants a bad rap, right… the information from this Swedish website citing official police statistics be damned?

    By all means, bow out with your tail between your legs; I’m sure you are accustomed to such an exit.

    And, yes, you said poor neighborhoods were a common factor in high crime areas; poor people live in poor neighborhoods; WHY is there more violent/sexual crime in poor neighborhoods?

    Researchers direct serious criticism against Brä research
    17 December 2019
    Eva Bergstedt
    The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brottsförebyggande radet or “Brâ” for short) in some cases has distorted politically sensitive research, and adapted the results to fit the wishes of the client. This is the conclusion of a newly published study from Linköping University.

    No, I do not believe that you personally know anybody in Sweden.

    I never said I know someone from Sweden; I do personally know a few people who were born in and still live in Scandinavia; we met in college as exchange students.

    This is just ridiculous… Sweden, the rape capital of the world… the mean streats of Malmo…

    Your curious insistence that Sweden, in particular, and Europe/America, in general, has seen no significant rises in violent/sexual crimes in the past few decades due to unrelenting streams of black/brown immigration, which is a Good Thing, is quite telling, Jon Leibowitz. I made no outrageous claims of having witnessed mass rape in the Swedish countryside, but I have traveled to Europe/Scandinavia often enough over the last few decades to observe the exponential demographic changes. And, because I am an American, I know the reality of multiculturalism as defined by race – Germans/Swedes, no problem; Swedes/Africans, serious, intractable problems – and I avoid the problems like the plague; I learned that lesson early. The evidence of rising crime in Sweden is available to anyone who spends a half hour verifying sources, and as I said, I know residents thereof.

    quite possibly this is just a bot.

    Then quit. Jon Leibowitz….you know what to do.

    Let’s put you in a taxi in Buenos Aires, then have you revisit that statement.

    ‘Breathtaking’ was my take on it. If it wasn’t potentially fatal, well worth the fare.

    It was actually comic. Of course I would never drive myself in Buenos Aires, but out in the sticks it wasn’t so bad. So we’ve been cruising along for a while, through here and there, and at all these intersections there are these signs that look like American stop signs and say ‘Pare.’

    Eventually I ask. Doesn’t ‘Pare’ mean ‘stop’?

    To my knowledge, seven of the top eight all have large, laxly policed Muslim and African populations.

    …yet the purported rate of rape in Sweden is nearly eight times that reported in Germany. To me, that suggests a different standard of what constitutes ‘rape’ rather than a variation in actual behavior.

    None of this is to defend any group. It’s merely to point out that the variation in numbers may not be as significant as it might appear.

    ‘…For whatever imponderable reasons there could be more traffic fatalities in one country than another, but it would never be a forty-fold difference…’

    Let’s put you in a taxi in Buenos Aires, then have you revisit that statement.

    Well, the thought experiment I gave was that if you compared countries like England, France, and Germany, and saw a 40-fold discrepancy in traffic fatalities, so I chose countries that are more directly comparable probably. And, in a striking bit of gamesmanship, you brought Argentina into the conversation somehow.

    But actually, this just reinforces my point. I looked it up and it seems that about 6000 people die yearly in Argentina on the roads. The corresponding number in Germany is something over 3000 and Germany has nearly double the population, so the per capita rate is nearly 4 times higher in Argentina as compared to Germany. That is quite a difference, but it is nothing like a forty-fold difference.

    But the other point about this is that these are fatalities. So there is not really much issue about the definition of what one is talking about. That is precisely why international comparison of crime rates tend to focus on homicide statistics because then we know that we’re talking about comparable numbers.

    Now, for example, this page says that Sweden’s homicide rate is 1.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, while the corresponding number in Germany is 0.8. Canada, on the other hand, has 2.3 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, twice that of Sweden. Yet for some reason, this other graph shows that there is 40 times as much raping in Canada. Odd, no?

    Well, the answer is not actually that elusive. The Swedish statistics are compiled very differently, based on a different set of laws in terms of defining even what a “rape” is. The Zionist faction behind all this propaganda about Sweden decided at some point that this discrepancy in how the rape statistics are compiled could be very useful to them and they started all this pseudo-scholarly comparison based on a totally spurious comparison.

    The homicide rate provides a much better encapsulation of Sweden’s crime rate, that can be compared to the homicide rate in other counries. On this page you can see the evolution of Sweden’s homicide rate over the last 20 years. It is pretty much the same in 2022 as 2002.

    The number of homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in Sweden fluctuated over the past 20 years, but was usually around one. It was at its lowest in 2012, when 0.71 homicides per 100,000 inhabitant were registered, and at its highest in 2007 and 2020, reaching 1.2. In 2022, the homicide rate stood at 1.11. That year, 116 homicides were reported in Sweden.

    Well, in short, just look at the chart at the top of that page. There is really just no sign that the homicide rate was affected significantly by immigrants or refugees. But this just tells us something that everybody who is not some sort of Okie from Muskokie knows: Sweden is an extremely safe place.

  780. @niceland

    Well, this is what happens when you have very very weak critical thinking skills. Apparently, you seriously believe that there is this much more raping going on in Sweden specifically, as opposed to broadly comparable countries.

    Now, just imagine that you were somebody with a modicum of common sense. How plausible is it that there is 30, 40, 50 times as much raping going on in Sweden as there is in countries like Greece, Portugal, Bulgaria…

    But, you see, this is precisely why homicide statistics are the gold standard if you are going to compare the crime statistics in different countries, because the definition of homicide does not vary that much! So, if you look at this page on homicide rates in various countries, you see that both Greece and Bulgaria have 1.1 homicides per 100,000 and Sweden also has 1.1 per 100,000 homicides. The figure in Portugal is lower, but within the same binary order of magnitude: 0.8 per hundred thousand. All of this reflects the (well-known for non-hicks) fact that all of these countries do not have very much of a violent crime problem. The U.S.A. is a much more violent society and we see that reflected in the figure of 6.4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

    The thing is also that there have been various things written on why Sweden has so many more reported rapes. For example, here is an article from 2017 (when this Sweden as rape capital propaganda campaign was its height) that explains the situation: https://www.thelocal.se/20170221/why-sweden-is-not-the-rape-capital-of-the-world

    I think that must be broadly correct. Sweden has far more reported because of legal/procedural differences there. There isn’t really 40 times as much raping going on there as in broadly comparable countries like Canada, say. It’s just nonsense really.

    Well, I never said anything about bomb attacks, but the fact remains that Canada does have homicide rate that is about double that of Sweden, 2.3 per 100,000 as opposed to 1.1 per 100,000. So if they aren’t using bombs to murder people in Canada, then they are presumably using some other means.

    Anyway, the best statistic to use for comparing violent crime rates between countries is homicides because there is no discrepancy on what a homicide is. The rate of homicides in Canada is double that of Sweden, yet there is supposedly 40 times as much raping in Sweden. So, by one measure (the homicides) Canada has significantly more violent crime than Sweden, but by another measure (reported rapes) Canada’s level of violent crime is infinitesimal, 40 (!) times lower.

    Actually, my understanding of things is that both Canada and Sweden are pretty safe, but probably Sweden somewhat more so, which is what the homicide statistics would suggest. The comparison of the rape numbers is obviously just spurious, the numbers aren’t directly comparable. The forty-fold difference is just ludicrous, after all.

    Compared to Haiti, South Africa, Baltimore, St. Louis – sure. Ethnic Swedes and Europeans are still the majority population in both Canada and Sweden, so if you can mange to avoid the Diversity, you might do just fine, and that’s the entire point of this endless argument – local violent crime is more prevalent amongst the GeorgeFloydPeople and the MuhammadPeople; and the MolochPeople, Zionists or not, in general, do NOT elucidate the truth about anything; they obscure what they are doing; why they are doing it.

    Of course, a few spill the beans, like that Swedish troll, Barbara Spectre.

    Mr. Revusky.
    How kind of you to put it this way. You are certainly a likable fellow and always a pleasure to read. I am currently at home ‘enjoying’ a flu, and have some time to waste so I am responding to you.

    One slight problem:
    I haven’t said anything about this topic so you can’t possibly know what I think about it or believe.

    Skimming the discussion I found it amusing you and others were arguing about the rate of rape in Sweden and none of you bothered to search for some statistics about the issue as reference for further discussion, so I posted some. And said: “some rape statistics for you to argue about:”

    It seems you are not happy with the statistics so you head for personal attack and bullying tactics. If memory serves me this trick is called “shooting the messenger” when someone doesn’t like the message. If memory serves me this is common logical fallacy and should be avoided in serious discussion.

    I recall you are the guy who “called me out” as liar when I said I was reading the NIST reports about the 9-11 building collapse back in the day (2005ish). Judging by your comments it was as if you discovered the proverbial smoking gun about my honesty. A major finding on your behalf. It was as if it’s was common knowledge that no one reads the NIST reports and anyone claiming to have done so is a liar QED!?!? Of course I didn’t respond to this nonsense, apparently to you, my silence was just more proof that I was a liar.

    Perhaps you should worry less about the critical thinking skills of others and more about your own? People who live in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones.

    That said, you do have a valid point, It’s likely one can’t compare rape statistics from Sweden with many other countries. After all Sweden has been among the most ‘progressive’ nations when it comes to women’s rights for decades. However to drive that point home one has to dig deeper into statistics, reporting and even legal procedures and so forth and try to quantify the issue to figure out the real situation. I’ll leave that up to you and your critical thinking skills.

  785. Brings a grim smile to my lips…

    ‘…In public at least, Mr Netanyahu has continued to ratchet up the rhetoric on Rafah, saying that a date has been set for the operation. His defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has been more nuanced, telling army recruits that now is an “opportune” time to do a deal with Hamas.
    But he stressed that a ceasefire would not be the end of the war: “There will be difficult decisions and we will be ready to pay the price in order to get the hostages back, and then return to fighting.”…’

    So once Hamas releases its prisoners, Israel will resume attacking them.

    Now, that’s motivation.

    Interesting read. I think the arguments the author makes about the inherent limitations of making cross-country comparisons are very valid. It is indeed like comparing apples to oranges. That’s why I think it’s preferable to just look at the data for Sweden alone to do more of an apples to apples comparison. And the article you referenced provides some very useful information to conduct that comparison.

    It says:

    In 2016 there were 67 reported rapes per 100,000 people, 60 in 2015, 69 in 2014, 63 in 2013, 66 in 2012, 69 in 2011, 64 in 2010 and 2009, 59 in 2008 and 52 in 2007.

    In the initial article I referenced previously, it provided rape data for two years, 1975 (421 rapes) and 2014 (6,620 rapes).

    When we translate this information into number of rapes per 100,000 population we get, for 1975, 5 per 100,000 and for 2014, 68 per 100,000.

    So, with this data in hand, the picture becomes very clear…

    There’s a step increase from the first year in which Sweden became multicultural (1975) where the number of rapes per 100k is in the single digits to the 2010s where the number of rapes per 100k is consistently in the 50s or 60s.

    So, while we cannot confidently claim that Sweden is the rape capital of the world, we can say with extreme confidence that the number of rapes in Sweden have spiked dramatically higher.

However, it is also known that the Swedish authorities previously released such statistics from the 1980s and from around 2000 (in 2005). These we covered in the prior post and they look pretty much like the Danish data, i.e., Muslims and Africans are high, Asians low, other Europeans close to the Swedish average.” {Shocking!}

    What I would be interested in knowing is WHEN did the Swedish government broaden the definition of rape, and for what purpose? It may very well be that they wanted a vehicle to net more sexual predators, in general, to nip the offenders in early stages of sexual predation. Who knows?

    Jon Leibowitz knows. Apparently. Those weaseley, NYC-type tunnel Jews seem to just know everything, like when to scoot over to the “doctor’s office” in order to avoid the Surprise Attack on NYC.

    … a work of fiction set in a dystopian near future that incorporates technologies and trends from our current world:

    The Final Countdown, by Aaron Day
    Crypto, Gold, Silver, and the People’s Last Stand Against Tyranny by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBCDs)

    Reading selection from first chapter, courtesy of Zero Hedge:

    [MORE]

    It took barely a decade for the world they knew to crumble. After a series of planned economic crises and the rise of authoritarian regimes, the world saw the widespread adoption of social credit systems and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). By 2032, New York City, once bustling with life and energy, had been transformed into a dystopian nightmare. The United States, previously a symbol of freedom and democracy, had succumbed to digital tyranny. Despair and hopelessness filled the city, with the relentless onslaught of propaganda on the airwaves and the constant hum of drones overhead, casting dark, oppressive shadows on the streets below.

    Surveillance had become a way of life, with security cameras on every street, face scanners in every building, and tracking built into every mobile device. The very idea of privacy had been erased, supplanted by the unrelenting gaze of the government, now capable of monitoring, controlling, and manipulating citizens’ lives with chilling precision.

    In this grim reality, the universal basic income concept (UBI) had been twisted into a means of subjugation. Although everyone received UBI, the amount depended on an individual’s social credit score. High scores granted a comfortable lifestyle, while low scores condemned people to destitution. Society had devolved into a ruthless game of paranoia, compliance, and survival.

    Healthcare access was strictly controlled, and people could be required to justify their presence or whereabouts at any time. Vaccine passports were not only mandatory but weaponized to control access to public spaces, transportation, and some jobs.

    The social credit system ensnared entire families, with the scores of each member affecting every aspect of their lives. Those with low scores found themselves trapped in substandard housing, with limited transportation options and inadequate healthcare.

    Amid the suffocating atmosphere of this dystopian society, the Johnson family struggled to maintain a semblance of normalcy…

    of what the typical migrant looked like, it would make a strong argument for closing the borders permanently.

    Revulsky is obsessed with the issue of non-white immigration into Europe and North America

    There was a time when I agreed with Revulsky’s take on 9/11, as an ((inside job)), but that was before he became an unhinged no-planes zealot.

    But then I discovered something dark about Revulsky, and his (relentles, fanatical I’d say) apologia for Muslim, (in particular) colonization of Europe and Scandinavia and North America.

    It began with Revulsky’s insistence that there were no rapes, and even if there were a few, they were negligible, (presumably, well worth having all the Muslims and Africans and so forth, transforming Western societies). It was then that I mentioned the tragic case of e Elin Krantz, which Revulsky brings up today, as an example of how ‘rare’ these sexual assaults and murders are.

    But the only thing rare about her case, is that the police records person in charge of filing away the case, (and specifically making sure no one other than the locals, knew about it), leaked the information to the outside world.

    You see, there are strict regulations regarding the secrecy of such crimes.

    Investigators are also seeking to discover if somebody from either within or outside their ranks has breached secrecy regulations and committed a criminal offence.

    https://www.thelocal.se/20110331/32930

    As Tiptoe has pointed out, almost no one has ever heard of the Knoxville Horror, or the Wichita Massacre. Among other unspeakable racial crimes, because they go to great lengths to make sure no one beyond the locals know about it.

    So I knew then, that there was an extremely insurmountable chasm between Revulsky’s views, and my own.

    Because for myself, if I were in charge of the Swedish authorities, I’d have impaled Ellen Krantz’ rapist orc alive on a not-very-sharp post, and given him medical attention to keep him alive and twitching there for as long as possible, with an IV drip all set up. People could come from miles away to watch the orc twitch. It would be a sensation for those who’ve also lost loved ones to such sub-human scum.

    But instead, Barbara Spectre’s Sweden gave this brutal murderer and rapist orc only 16 years!

    Here’s more

    https://www.wvwnews.net/news/2012/12/24/who-was-ellen-krantz/

    With the horrific death of this beautiful young woman, (among many others..) I would have expelled every last young immigrant non-Western man from Sweden, post haste. GTFO! If there were some compelling reason for one or more to stay, then I would make absolutely certain that any one of them who were given an exception and allowed to stay, it would have been with the iron caveat that they must have a Swedish sponsor, and that any crime they commit, would be charged to that sponsor, along with the immigrant, with the sentence, (not a slap on the wrist, but real punishment), carried out by both.

    Which seems eminently fair.

    All elderly immigrants and couples would be allowed to stay, so long as they all understood the second they try to harbor a relative, they’re all tossed out on their arses.

    But for some, (the Barbara Spectre and Revulsky types), they don’t see it the way I do.

    They apparently feel that for Sweden to survive, they must, with all due haste, replace the people of Sweden with non-whites, including Spectre’s and Revulsky’s armies of orcs.

    Also, (since Revulsky – a loathsome, lying POS – has taken this thread to his pet obsession – Muslim immigration into the West), I suspect the reason rape and other crimes are more often committed against Swedes, than other European nations further to the south, is because unlike Spain and France and Germany, (for instance) Sweden was isolated in the far north, and doesn’t have an historic, (even perhaps by now, genetic) defense against marauding orcs. Romania, as we all know, was all too familiar with how Muslim and other hordes relentlessly seek to impose themselves upon Westerners. Which led to my personal hero Vlad Tepes, using his tried and true technique to dissuade them from doing so.

    What the West needs now, more than ever, is a new and hardier breed of leaders like Vlad Tepes.

    He knew exactly how to speak their language, in a way that they couldn’t ignore.

    Also, since I specifically replied to you, TruthV,

    I did so because I wanted your take on this.

    Some three million people worldwide have so far provided their iris data to Worldcoin, an initiative of OpenAI chief Sam Altman, but few have embraced the project more fervently than Argentines.

    Is that what we can expect from ‘Anarcho-capitalism’?

    In Worldcoin’s own words, it seeks to become “the world’s largest privacy-preserving human identity and financial network,” providing “universal access to the global economy no matter your country or background.”

    I checked into the Worldcoin CEO Sam Altman

    He schmoozes with ‘British prime minister Rishi Sunak, French president Emmanuel Macron, Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez, German chancellor Olaf Scholz, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol and Israeli president Isaac Herzog. He stood for a photo with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen.[9]

    and brags about having gas masks provided to him by the IDF

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

    he’s also a proponent of more immigration, (particularly Indian) into the U.S.

    Sorry for the longish comment.

    in short, Revulsky is a low-life rat, from a family of rats.

    The rapes are real, if hushed up and no-doubt massively under-reported.

    And I’m not too sure about our Anarcho-capitalist down in Argentina.

    How kind of you to put it this way. You are certainly a likable fellow and always a pleasure to read.

    Well, thanks, I guess. But I can’t reciprocate and say similar things about you. I find you quite obnoxious and UNlikeable. Mostly because you’re just such a bloody liar. I think my first interaction with you was when you claimed that you had read the NIST report on the collapse of building 7 in its entirety and “you found it quite convincing”. I immediately called you out as a liar and it was quite noteworthy that you did not even insist indignantly that you were telling you the truth. Nobody, including Ron Unz (who seems to be your great defender/advocate) defended you. Everybody knew you were lying. But I guess that doesn’t bother some people. Personally I have a pet peeve about this. I REALLY DON’T LIKE LIARS.

    Right on this very page, in comment #192, you’re at it again. You’re there representing that you had brought up incisive points in some discussion about 9/11 that I was at a loss to answer. That wasn’t the case at all. I answered your (quite lame) points and then it was you that walked away.

    One slight problem:
    I haven’t said anything about this topic so you can’t possibly know what I think about it or believe.

    Well, I might also not even care what you think or believe. Now, okay, you can represent that you believe that Swedish women are being raped right, left and center, being dragged into the public restrooms, into the woods, being raped on cruise ships and right there on the street, I guess… And the Swedish men are helpless to do anything about it and… You can represent that you believe all this but I would very much doubt that you do.

    Skimming the discussion I found it amusing you and others were arguing about the rate of rape in Sweden and none of you bothered to search for some statistics about the issue as reference for further discussion, so I posted some. And said: “some rape statistics for you to argue about:”

    Well, how would you know what statistics I have seen or not seen? I looked into this question something like 7 years ago, around the time I wrote my “Muslim Rape Army” piece. I looked into this enough to be quite confident that all this stuff about Sweden as the rape capital of the world and all that was just some Zionist orchestrated defamation campaign. It is quite an audacious propaganda campaign, one has to admit, this attempt to convince people that a country like Sweden really is such a crime-ridden hell-hole. It’s just nonsense, of course.

    I recall you are the guy who “called me out” as liar when I said I was reading the NIST reports about the 9-11 building collapse back in the day (2005ish). Judging by your comments it was as if you discovered the proverbial smoking gun about my honesty.

    Oh, why don’t you give up on this? (I though you had given up on this.) Everybody with a grain of sense knows you were lying.

    A major finding on your behalf. It was as if it’s was common knowledge that no one reads the NIST reports and anyone claiming to have done so is a liar QED!?!? Of course I didn’t respond to this nonsense, apparently to you, my silence was just more proof that I was a liar.

    Well, most normal people get indignant when you call them liars. But anyway, there’s plenty of proof that you’re a chronic liar. Again, the claim that you read the NIST report on building 7 in its entirety and “found it convincing” combined with the admission that you never read any 9/11 Truth material, no David Ray Griffin, no nothing… But I’ve seen you in action in these discussions and you’re not an honest person. So I don’t believe anything you say. If anybody else believes you, well, that’s their own business. You say these things that are just dripping with dishonesty. Like, I suddenly remember, at some point, you said that PhysicistDave had made some really solid, convincing arguments, or something like that. I asked what on earth you were talking about. No answer. But why would you say such a thing? Everybody who was present during the whole PhysicistDave ruckus knows that PhysicistDave never formulated any coherent argument of any sort. Nothing…

    That said, you do have a valid point, It’s likely one can’t compare rape statistics from Sweden with many other countries.

    Well, that’s an understatement. Anybody with minimal critical thinking skills can see that the chart you put up with the statistics of the various countries is worthless. Basically, you’re supposed to believe that, say, Sweden has 40 times as much raping as Hungary because Sweden let in some Muslim immigration or refugees and Hungary didn’t. Well, look, the Muslim migrants/refugees in Sweden do not constitute 10% of the population, I don’t think. But let’s say it’s 10%. So, for that 10% to cause Sweden to have 40 times the amount of raping would mean that that 10% of the population is commiting rapes at 400 times the rate of the general population, right?

    Is that credible? No, I really don’t think so. It could be somewhat more, but it’s not a 400-fold difference. That’s just crazy. But the whole story is not credible, that women are being raped all over the place in public places and so on… Again, a very basic question you’d have to ask about such a narrative is where the Swedish men are!!??

    But the bottom lineis that the whole “Sweden as the rape capital of the world” is a pretty well constructed hoax. But it is ridiculous. It’s a bit like if they were to present this hoax that Iceland is a tropical island and cite all these dubious climate statistics and so on… I remember that some years back, there was a bargain bin in a bookstore full of copies of the 9/11 Commission Report. I picked one up and was thumbing through it. It’s presented as this very scholarly researched thing, with footnotes and so on. But it’s all bullshit. It’s just all a huge self-referential web of baseless storytelling. And all this Islamophobia inc stuff about the alleged raping (which is a neocon/zionist project for sure) is basically like that — comparing statistics that are in no way comparable and building an argument on that sort of thing…

    But also, this is the thing with phony 9/11 Truthers, like the Rurik entity and others. They supposedly have long since figured out that the Muslims were framed for 9/11 and I assume they also understand that this whole Islamic terrorism construct is bullshit. (Al Qaeda and ISIS are just constructs of the Western intel agencies basically.) So they figured out that the “Muslims as terrorists” narrative is bullshit, but then they are totally commited to the “Muslims as rapists” narrative, which, if anything, is even more preposterous. But also, it is so obviously orchestrated by the ziocons, whom these people purport to hate. (Except they work for them!)

  794. @geokat62

    Look, you’re trying to argue that there are roughly 10x as many reported rapes than there were, I dunno, 40 years ago, because they let in the various… let’s say… swarthy savages. The demographic you’re talking about is at most 10% of the population. For that 10% of the population to be responsible for a 10-fold increase in the number of rapings, they would have to be raping at 100x the frequency of the rest of the population, right?

    Is that credible?

    Well, maybe you think it is. I don’t think so. Even if, for whatever reasons, people of whatever background are more likely to commit rape, it’s not going to be a 100-fold difference. But regardless, there is another point here, which is that the the one crime statistic that is comparable across countries and over time is homicides, precisely because the definition is not subject to change. And it is hard to manipulate the facts on that because there is either a dead body or there isn’t, right?

    The rate of homicides in Sweden, which is roughly 1 per 100,000, goes up and down year over year for imponderable reasons, sometimes it’s been 0.7 or 0.8 per 100,000, other times 1.1 or 1.2. But it does not have that clear a trend and is not very different from what it was back then — I mean, back when Sweden was a more lily white country. And really, homicides are the best statistic to rely on in terms of what the level of violent crime is.

    You can look at the homicide rate in Sweden over the last couple of decades here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1315123/sweden-homicide-rate/ The amount of murder has not changed very much and, most likely, the real amount of raping hasn’t changed much either. I think that’s the best educated guess anyway.

It’s there for all to see, if only schmucks like you would stop playing games and manipulating data.

    I never wrote, nor implied, that the Canadian Wanted List had anything whatsoever to do with the fact that Sweden is crawling with tempest tossed refuse who are raping everybody, everywhere, all the time, but especially on cruise ships and in the forests.

    You can’t fool everyone; what the DataPeople do is manipulate categories; redefine definitions; insert confounds; sling about statistical jargon, which is indeed complex, as nearly every college student I knew remarked that Statistics was not a class to dilly-dally in, and so the DataPeople attempt to convince DeerInTheHeadlightsPeople that official statistical results are correct/absolute, whilst anecdotal information is to be summarily dismissed; in other words – DON’T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES.

The same goes for Arabic Muslims, who heretofore had always been keen on sending Infidels to the whipping posts; why yes, there’s something about Sweden that renders their very nature asunder.

Mostly they don’t have to kill people though. Look, … in Canada it’s the white guys that rule, organized crime wise and such. In Canada, its the white guys, at the top of that, that will fuck you up bad if you cross them. Some of these guys are really sadists too. Everybody knows this.

    Ok, so you reject cross-country comparisons of rapes. You also reject temporal comparisons of rapes within the same country. We’re down to one last way of analyzing rapes, the level of over-representation by ethnicity.

    Excerpt from Sweden’s migrant rape crisis: European liberals never ask uncomfortable questions about immigration:

    How far does this signify over-representation? On the basis of population records kept by the official agency Statistics Sweden (SCB), approximately 20% (19.7%) of the Swedish population are foreign-born individuals. Among those convicted of rape and perpetrated rape, the foreign-born account for 47.7% of those convicted — so they are over-represented by a factor of 2.4.

    Moreover, if we piece various statistics together, we find there are 565,902 foreign-born people living in Sweden who were born in North Africa and the Middle East, representing 4.9% of Sweden’s population. Yet 16.4% of those convicted of rape and attempted rape are foreign-born individuals from North Africa and the Middle East: over-representation by a factor of 3.3. And that figure rises to 4.7 when you consider all foreign-born citizens from Africa (excluding North Africa.)

    Further to my first rely comment #809, maybe one thing on the ethnic nationalism stuff should be pointed out, ….. why is everybody so sure that white people won’t continue to prevail where there is white people? It doesn’t really seem that way to me (that they won’t continue to prevail). I came up with a big mix of various white European people of all stripes. I would say that white men are generally misunderstood by their own women. It’s like this: White men are just about the most crazy mix of huge almost unbridled willful passions, … and a very creative mind that therefore finds extreme expressions of these outsized passions, …. a group of little monsters that know they are monsters, and respect each other’s monstership, and thus, in this way it is very bridled. Until it’s not. Then watch out. The sadism engendered, if it spins out of control, … is absolutely obnoxious. So it generally almost never spins out of control. The Islamists from other nations, that live among us mostly just fine it seems, fully understand this, I am quite sure. You see, …. there really are white brutes about that will break your face for any old reason. That small subset is representative of the underlying creative destructive passion, just brewing and stewing there. White men, generally, are highly disciplined, though (which their women are often blind to, though …. they usually mistake that for weakness). It’s just they way white guys are. The white women became a problem for the white men when there were other men around, for their women to compare them to. The white men were OK with the white women living in fairy-tale land about their man-sentiments, before that eventuality though. Maybe the white women will eventually figure it out (trial and error, and all).

    Tiptoe – you worry too much. Really, … the main problem is that a subset of white men (Ashkenazi Jews) are even more crazily creatively juiced on destructive passions (apparently designed for said task by way of rabbinic inbreeding/outbreeding operations of yore in Eastern Europe). Otherwise, the Islamic world, and the Arab world, will respond to normal ‘carrot and stick’ incentives. We can indeed live in peace, I think. The JQ issue is job #1 on that front, of course.

    No disagreements for me as far as your take on Revulsky is concerned, nor on your desire to stem the flow of undocumented immigrants in any country (esp. the U.S).
    I’m in Australia, and we have a points system, whereby immigrants must demonstrate that they have the skill set (that we have a chronic shortage of) required in terms of employment to emigrate here (other than a very small intake of those seeking asylum from war torn countries like Sudan and a few other places that are allowed on humanitarian grounds).
    We have very, very few immigrants being admitted into our country from those countries that have suffered the brunt of America’s murderous foreign policy. There is no rape crisis (or homicide/looting/felony crime crisis) in my country.
    And, to the extent that some immigrants might be engaging in these activities, it is not statistically different to background rates for the population as a whole.

    As for my take on the Libertarian experiment in Argentina under President Javier Milei, there is no doubt in my mind that, assuming ZOG does not throw in some roadblocks to derail the reforms, that Argentina will rise like a phoenix and assume its rightful role as an economic colossus.

    That said, it appears that Milei has done a deal with the devil, and has made concessions to ZOG in exchange for being allowed to enact his reforms. It’s worrying that Milei has schmoozed up to the Anglo Zionist empire and firmly stated that he’ll remain in their economic orbit, whilst simultaneously saying that Argentina will never join in the Belt and Road Initiative of China.

    As far as the iris data being collected in Argentina, this is certainly of concern. In fairness to Milei, he has not mandated it (like face masks and clot shots during the Covid Psyop as a condition of employment). As far as I can determine from that article in your link, it is still voluntary if people choose to do those eye scans or not.

    But Rurik, let’s be clear on the matter of Anarcho Capitalism, which is a subset of Libertarianism.
    AnCaps and Libertarians are all about LIBERTY, and the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.
    There should be no government mandates to take a vaccine, have an eyeball scan or any other COMPULSION as a condition of employment, school attendance for children etc.

    This article focuses on how poorer Argentines are getting the eye scan in exchange for a few dollars.
    Well, let me make an analogy with the first world. Long before the Covid Psyop, Big Pharmaceutical companies have been paying people to take an experimental drug and compensating them with a few dollars. Poor university students needing a few bucks volunteered to take the stuff, as did others who were doing it tough financially.
    Undoubtedly the really risky pharmaceuticals that were known to have serious side effects and/or death, were not given to first worlders. More than likely they were given to the poor in the Third World. This has been going on since time immemorial.

    SUMMARY: I’m not advocating for experimental and risky drugs/vaccines to be given to anyone (unless there were diagnosed as having a terminal condition and were likely to die in the coming months anyway. Such people would be willing to take that risk as the alternative is certain death).
    You should not conflate iris scans with Anarcho Capitalism – as they have nothing to do with each other. If Argentina ever went the way of compulsory iris scans or ID implants or anything Orwellian like that, then this would be a DEPARTURE from Anarcho Capiltalism.
    At the end of the day, as long as Javier Milei does not use government coercion to force people to do something they would not otherwise do, then the spirit of liberty is preserved.

    Meanwhile Rurik, I’m at loss to understand this scepticism of yours about Anarcho Capitalism.
    Admittedly we have never had 100% pure unadulterated Anarcho Capitalism in any society in any era of recorded history, just as we’ve never had 100% pure Communism or Socialism.
    But, in those societies that have come the closest (ie: the U.S in the 130 or so years leading up to the creation of the ZOG owned Federal Reserve in 1913, and also in countries like Great Britain, Australia, Canada over the same period and Hong Kong (in the century leading up to the China handover in 1997), we had stellar rates of growth and economic prosperity.

    Simply put, wherever Anarcho Capitalism has been practised, with only minimal governmental interference/coercion/parasitism, the results have been SPECTACULAR – with NO exceptions.
    Why would anyone want any other system (unless they had a leftist ideological axe* to grind that didn’t seek maximum prosperity for the bulk of its citizenry).

    (*Of course when I say that I’m alluding to ZOG, as that entity that has no concern about the prosperity of the world citizenry. They want a One World Socialist government which they will be ruling over. They want the citizenry as poor as possible relative to them – because a poor citizenry is a compliant citizenry that can be herded and corralled like farm animals, at their discretion).
    Anarcho Capitalism, maximises individual freedom and prosperity, it allows greater autonomy to the individual to decide what’s best for themselves and their families.

    Hey, TV. Forgive my interjecting. Just wanted to make one brief point to see if you agree.

    Anarcho-capitalism is the best system whereby homogenous societies can flourish, but it is the worst system whereby heterogeneous societies must implode.

    As the West is becoming increasingly heterogeneous with each passing day, White people need to re-embrace identity politics and once we become predominantly homogeneous nations, we can re-embrace anarcho-capitalism.

    Wild Man, we’ve been down this road before; I’m glad your little neck of the Canadian woods is Shangri-La, but when I was last in Vancouver/Vancouver Island, I thought perhaps we rerouted to China. I was shocked by the number of Chinese in the Canadian passport line at the airport, and then there was one South Asian couple. So, perhaps that’s the difference in Vancouver, for now.

    Having said that, I see a few non-Chinese, non-White faces in the images return for shooting in Vancouver, so….the reality will arrive when their numbers increase. Mark my word.

    We kept to activities in Vancouver not known for diversity – rafting, the botanical gardens, old growth forests, therefore we encountered no significant diversity, and remained unkilled and unmolested.

    Like I said, I avoid diversity to the extent possible; I’m an old hand at that game.

    So, what then does the Wanted List in Toronto say about the criminality in Canada? I absolutely do not understand how White People dismiss completely the lessons of Rhodesia, South Africa, Haiti, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans [Review a bit of Hurricane Katrina footage, if you can find it – we can’t save them from themselves, and we should stop trying], NYC – it’s not democratic policies; it’s the people who will not/can not be ruled by established societal norms. They are supported by a society which they are/were incapable of creating for themselves, therefore they can’t sustain it.

    #7 and #24 are the two that would literally cause me to retreat immediately. Your guy wouldn’t likely be a blip on my radar. No one says there are No white criminals. If Canada is still majority white, and if all things were equal, which they’re not, the majority of faces on the Wanted list would be white. Which, they’re not. So, why is that? When it comes to crime, the nature, scope, degree, frequency, etc., must be considered, and it is not/was not typically a common or insignificant thing for a joy ride to devolve into a car jacking, kidnapping, torture/burning, gang-rape, bleach pouring, garbage can stuffing, murderous Saturday night, on the spur of the moment, unless we’re in Knoxville, and incidents such as that are more common amongst non-whites than people know, but we know all about George Floyd, don’t we? Somehow most of the world missed the Knoxville crimes. Don’t you realize what’s going on?

    I suppose you think the theories on organized Jewry are rubbish? Alejandro Mayorkas is not Cuban, Wild Man, and the southern border is not closed. Why does he lie under oath? Why can’t he be removed from office? Why can’t they be stopped?

    Jews are not White/Europeans. Yes, the Ashkenazim are obviously infused with European genetics, and based on historical information about the frequent intermarriage of Jewry with European nobility, etc., which was clearly to the benefit of Jewry, it seems it was obviously done with specific intentions of accessing European society and levers of power. At this point, it’s no longer necessary, as they have arrived.

    So, you’ve answered my previous question about the JQ conspiracy, which you apparently accept, so why can’t you accept the BBQ? (Black/Brown Question) Speaking of BBQ, who’s running Haiti these days?

    you worry too much

    Do I? Well, I believe my lying eyes.

    Yes, I absolutely believe White Men/Europa could put a stop to this mess if we could/would act collectively, as we once did. I used to believe miscegenation laws were abhorrent; now, I understand why they were necessary. I guess the Kalergi Plan is real, as are the aims of organized Jewry to destroy Amalek, Edom, everyone. The mass influx of non-whites into Europe, North America, can serve no other purpose.

    White women will rue the day they sought to undermine White men. But, of course, White men are turning on themselves, aren’t they? What in god’s name happened to Justin Trudeau?

    And here we are…

    As predicted, yes? How many warnings went unheeded?

    I think I read that Sweden installed a culture/history minister who was not Swedish, and he/she began to remove Viking artifacts from state museums. The old Vikings are sorely needed, in my opinion.

    Look at Reinfeldt’s face. He is obviously not Nordic.

    Tony Bliar, Boris Johnson, Bill Clinton, Merkel, Macron, Trudeau, Biden

    Pigs, all. I remember reading years ago about how many western leaders are targeted and supported, often surreptitiously, whilst young, and then selected for prominence in politics, i.e. Barack Obama; it seems everything once deemed ridiculous is likely to have been true. Was FDR Jewish? I dismissed those rumors, but he was certainly the most devious of all American presidents. At least Wilson expressed regret for what he had done; Eisenhower did, as well. I think they were both “selected.”

    Ok, so you reject cross-country comparisons of rapes. You also reject temporal comparisons of rapes within the same country.

    Well, I have to object to this notion that this is about me. This is about numerical literacy really. For example, at some point a few years back, I was curious and looked up what the crime rate of black people was in the U.K. It seems that the British government straightforwardly records these things. As I recall (I could dig it up again, I guess) blacks in the U.K. are responsible for about 10% of the violent crime there. However, blacks are about 3% of the population there. So they’re over-represented by about 3-fold, or a bit more.

    Now, it seems likely that some of that difference might be that this is a younger demographic on average and a serious analysis would have to correct for that. But those seem to be the raw numbers and it’s believable. Fine. But those statistics are from the British government. If I read on some wing-nut site that blacks in the U.K. are committing violent crimes at 100x the rate of the general population, I would be very skeptical of that, not because I doubt that the blacks are committing more crimes than the general population, per capita, but the difference is nothing like 100 to 1. It just isn’t.

    To be saying that there is 40 times more raping going on in Sweden than in Canada, for example… that is already very unlikely to be true, but when you are attributing that 40x difference to at most 10% of the Swedish population, so they’re raping at 400x the baseline rate…

    Again, this is not about me. It’s about some baseline of numerical literacy.

    (Stuff snipped)

    Do you also reject this method of analysis?

    Well, the source hardly seems objective, but as for “method”, well, if the numbers are tallied honestly and it turns out that certain groups have 3 or 4 times the rate of violent crime, then well… that could well be true, sure. But, of course, white middle-class Swedes surely have a very low rate of violent crime, so even 3 or 4 times that level is probably not a very high level in an absolute sense. For example, as I recall, the U.S. has 9x as much violent crime per capita as Germany does. (I never looked up the corresponding figure for Sweden, but I would bet it is something like that also.) I seriously doubt that even the worst neighborhoods in Sweden or Germany are very dangerous by U.S. standards.

    Look, the whole thing that Sweden, of all places, is a crime-ridden hell-hole is a propaganda campaign very much promulgated by a certain network of wing-nut fake news sites. That whole disinfo campaign is very much pushed by Zionist/Neocon interests, like pretty much any campaign that has the goal of defaming Arabs or Muslims generally.

    But, already, the fact that the homicide rate in Sweden is more or less unchanged over the last few decades does strongly hint that this narrative of Sweden having some out-of-control problem with crime is probably not true. If violent crime was exploding off the charts, surely you would expect the homicide rate to be rising sharply, no? But no…

    Rape in Sweden:
    Commenter Tiptoethrutulips posted a link to article written by Emil Kirkegard.
    https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/2021/11/sweden-finally-publishes-new-immigrant-crime-rate-data-which-shows-no-surprises/

    It contains Swedens crime statistics from 2015-18. We have this problem about comparing statistics about rape across different countries.

    This image shows breakdown of certain crimes in Sweden. Let’s keep this simple. The Black columns are the native Swedes, born in Sweden of Swedish parents. And their crime rate is set to 1 for comparison. The rest, three variation of Grey are the immigrants representing roughly 20% of the current population. Read the article if you want details.

    Look at the numbers for “Valtakt” or RAPE. Here we see the immigrants are ~2 – 3.2 times over represented in this category. The numbers are not normalized for age and sex but we don’t care because this is just to figure out the broad scale of the rape problem in Sweden.

    Let’s do a quick thought experiment.
    I think it’s safe to assume the native born Swedes are not much of a rapists compared to the rest of the world. At least no one seems to claim the allegedly very bad rape problem in Sweden is their fault. It’s the immigrants who are responsible.

    And the immigrants, while they are certainly worse – ~3 times – than the natives, they ‘only’ represent 20% of the population. Let’s imagine Sweden with zero immigrants but same population size as today. And assume they have 100 rapes per year. We replace 20% of the population with immigrants. Then we remove 20 rapes per year from native Swedes and add 3 times as many or 60 rapes per year coming from the immigrants and are left with total of 140 rapes per year or 40% increase in rapes. That’s about it.

    So the Swedish rape situation is 40% worse than it would be if Sweden had no immigrants. I’d say it’s extremely unlikely to make Sweden the rape capital of the world, or even Europe.

    Are these fake statistics? I don’t know. Look at the picture again, the top section Murder, shows that native born of immigrant parents are 11 times over represented. Bottom section, robbery, same story. These are serious figures and do not indicate the Swedes are hiding their immigrant crimes. If you read the article you can see very ugly figures about the crime rate from african immigrant groups as well.

    So – why is it that that Sweden looks to be at the bottom of the barrel when looking at international rape statistics. I think the article posted by Jonathan Revusky pretty much explains it. I could add few things perhaps but this is already long enough.
    https://www.thelocal.se/20170221/why-sweden-is-not-the-rape-capital-of-the-world

    One more thing though. Our own rape statistics here in Iceland are not much better than in Sweden. Is Iceland close to the top in the rape business on worldwide scale? That’s extremely unlikely. On top of it, only a tiny sliver of our immigrants come from the allegedly bad rape groups, say muslims or Africans. Most of our immigrants come from Poland and the Baltic states. Something else is going on here and it’s explained more or less in the the article linked above.

  811. @Jonathan Revusky

    Repulsky, you are not exactly opaque in your assertions.

    Look, the whole thing that Sweden, of all places, is a crime-ridden hell-hole

    The wing-nuts are suggesting that Sweden is devolving into a crime-ridden hell-hole. The wing-nuts also said – South Africa was undermined by Jewry, and will devolve into a crime-ridden hell-hole after Apartheid; the wing-nuts said there’s no evidence of 6 million dead, and Jewry has been claiming six million gone/in jeopardy for decades prior to 1939; the wing-nuts said integration won’t solve the problem of black criminality/under-achievement, and Detroit/Baltimore/black majority cities will fall….and will ultimately devolve into crime-ridden hell-holes. How are you with pattern recognition? Do I need to state the obvious?

    Wing-nut = anyone who notices the truth/reality of inherent racial differences in cognition and behavior, and who also notices the perfidious, subversive nature of organized Jewry and/or the apparent clannish, mendacious Jewish culture, in general.

    You are the mean of Jewish culture, and you are Wrong about everything, as far as I can see. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence.

    Oh!

    Well, then bring in more immigrants!

    What are the statistics for immigrant/’refugee’ rape that goes unreported, for myriad reasons; – the poor girls will be accused of racism, they might have been brutalized, and not want to relive the horror, and many other reasons. Finding a Swedish husband might (sadly) be more complicated, and so forth. We’ll never know, will we.

    But this is the thing, I challenge anyone to explain to us what benefit it is to the Swedish people to have any of these immigrants from non-Western nations coming into Sweden.

    Is it because diversity is the strength of all societies?

    Is it because Sweden must become multicultural ‘for it to survive’?

    Is it because Sweden must accept them for what “it” did to Iraq and Libya and other nations?

    Because the things that can’t be quantified by rape and murder and theft statistics, is the subtle, unspoken changes that happen to your society when transformational numbers of ‘others’ pour in. People, (generally young men) who harbor a grievance against your nation and people. People with a chip on their shoulder, and want revenge for all the ‘persecutions’ and ‘racism’ that all white nations have ‘historically perpetrated against all people of color’, blah, blah…, or just straight-up sub-human orcs who would never be any good to any nation or people anywhere.

    If a group of Swedes are having some kind of gathering, all it takes is one scumbag, to ruin it for the others. One scumbag who feels aggrieved and pissed off, and it will take all the harmony and bonhomie out of the gathering, and in subtle ways, destroy it.

    But so what? No one was raped, even if the refugees did nothing but leer at the teenage girls, and sneer at, (knowing they are first class citizens, protected by hate-thought laws), everyone else, then if no one in fact was legally raped, what’s the problem?!

    Look at all the other benefits these people bring in!

    If someone could please tell me what those are!

    A few immigrants might have skills, it’s true. A few of them might provide a brief ‘romantic’ dalliance for an ugly Swedish woman, who might otherwise have none.

    But in the whole, other than destroying Swedish society, (Such a deal!), I can’t see what the benefits are. Can anyone?

    What happened below the ‘More’ button, doesn’t happen every day, thank God.

    But the leering, hate-infused contempt that these sub-human orcs have for the Swedish people and society, (knowing it isn’t their society), is there 24/7/365

That’s about it.

    I like your example. If you don’t mind I’d like to change one input to see what it does to the output. Rather than assuming 100 rapes per year, let’s assume 6,620 rapes year year (the number quoted in the initial article I cited*). And let’s continue with your example:

    We replace 20% of the population with immigrants. Then we remove 1,324 rapes per year from native Swedes and add 3 times as many or 3,972 rapes per year coming from the immigrants and are left with total of 9,268 rapes per year or 40% increase in rapes. That’s about it.

    While the relative increase in these two examples is exactly the same (40%), the absolute increase is a much larger number 2,648, compared to 40. In other words, 2,648 Swedish women would not have been raped if Sweden had remained a homogeneous society.

    Conclusion: they have to go back!

    *In the initial article I referenced previously, it provided rape data for two years, 1975 (421 rapes) and 2014 (6,620 rapes).

    “Like I said, I avoid diversity to the extent possible; I’m an old hand at that game.”

    I’m not really getting it. What parts of North America do you live? In Canadian cities, there was no way to avoid the diversity, since the 1970’s. And then everyone pretty much got used to it, and it didn’t take very long for that to happen (though the talk at lunch room tables in the 1970’s mixed work places, among those young white guys giving some expression to their underlying inherent obnoxiousness, …. fantasy talk about opportunities to run over and kill ‘pakis’, for points! … and this was before video games, …. maybe the points thing was inspired by arcade games, though). Pretty soon though, some pakis, and people from all over, will buy a house on your street, and then, as homeowners, are pretty much just like everyone else, … all about protecting the value of that investment (whilst also enjoying the asset).

    How in heavens name do you think you can avoid humanity, TipToe? Sounds like an illusion a woman would spin. Didn’t you ever have to work? Here, of course, as a young buck back into the early 1980’s now, … guess what, … I am a guy now doing alot of hiring, ….. guess who I end up hiring alot for the entry level positions (because the pay was piss poor) …. pakis and Pakistani transplants to East Africa. Of course, I talk to these dudes and dudettes. Guess what, …. there lives are filled with the same kind of drama as everyone else’s. It really is pretty much the same, … however the temperament-response is somewhat different, among other cultures, when dramatic conflict comes up (as I already alluded to). Look …. in Canada, it’s like this: Everybody has got their root culture. Everybody compares notes within the commons (and in western Canadian cities, ‘the commons’ is set-up so that it indeed does reflect the actual demographic, …. on your street, at your school, at your workplace, … but maybe not at your place of worship), and via that ‘notes-comparison’ finds out that what ‘Canadian’ is and means (it means a place where people have a root culture but also compare cultural notes with each other within the massive ‘commons’ cooked into western Canadian books, …. and a broad consensus is formed). It’s actually westernism (and not faux-westernism), this, what we did here, in western Canada. If it is wrong then true-westernism is irredeemably flawed. Of course I believe no part of that (that true-west is irredeemably flawed).

    The issues are going to be different in Europe it’s true (but not for the reason you allude to …. the basic thing in Europe is that the root people tend to be of one narrow ethnicity in each of these European nations, …. and these places are not empty, …. of course we know they are not empty because that’s where, we, the North Americans [and Australians and New Zealanders for that matter], primarily came from). So it’s a matter of basic fairness. Why penalize the current inhabitants unnecessarily when it really does tend to be more of a zero-sum game for those root European cultures? So, in Europe, these policies are actually faux-west policies (i.e. – inherently not fair).

    “We kept to activities in Vancouver not known for diversity – rafting, the botanical gardens, old growth forests, therefore we encountered no significant diversity, and remained unkilled and unmolested.”

    That is nuts. In my western Canadian city you will find that the people that work at those venue types you listed, are more-or-less representative of the actual current demographic. What do you think you are escaping from, exactly? It makes no sense. The people that work (and sometimes run) the venues you mentioned (food shack near the old growth, for that narrow example, let’s say), want the same thing as you, …. for it to be pleasant so that people will keep coming back.

    “#7 and #24 are the two that would literally cause me to retreat immediately. Your guy wouldn’t likely be a blip on my radar.”

    No, … #7 and #24 both have reactive fear expressed in their eyes. Can’t you see that? Sure, you need to be careful around crazies that may lash out, because they possess poor impulse control, and are in fear mode. But you don’t get it Tip Toe, … guys like #13 (if that wasn’t just an accidental photo, that way) are not in fear mode. Less reactive. More measured. Much much more dangerous though, if he acts out on his predator instincts. I have predator instincts (it probably comes with a lust for eating meat, which I also do possess). Probably because I am a white man. White men therefore need tons of self discipline, which generally, they do possess.

    I do not disagree with your take on the JQ, as far as I know. But your misplaced take on ethnic nationalism, clouds that JQ issue, for yourself, it seems. And these Jews are more Caucasian than you are willing to admit. The JQ is basically about a particular perversion of true-westernism (you can see that JQ shenanigans are partly an inside job – no?, … and that is why, as you say, …. “Jewry prefers to operate from secondary positions or from behind the scenes” – right? ).

    People, of course, commit acts to gratify a desire of some kind. People also respond to social pressure — unless they are alienated from the group around them. I have seen tourists do things they simply wouldn’t do at home. Why? Because who cares what the ____ think?

    So if you have single males — who will swiftly start wanting sex — and those single males are indifferent to the opinion of the good burghers, they will inevitably become more likely to commit rape than your nice grandson who actually has a girlfriend already, thank you.

    …the solution to this problem, of course, is to not admit single male immigrants. I’d say don’t admit immigrants at all, but that’s to address concerns other than violent crime.

    Your post was rational, reasonable, and certainly correct. Ergo the actual supposition regarding Sweden as devolving into a rape/crime trap, hyperbolic cries, notwithstanding. The tells are there; the tells are suppressed, and anyone who spends any amount of time on this alternative site in an attempt to ascertain why the average person has been blindsided by the exponential devolvement of western nations/institutions, knows very well that accurate information from official sources is nearly impossible to find, and the information that is available is likely to be unreliable, typically depending upon the nature of the truth, i.e. no notice of Knoxville Horror; the world reacts to the tragic ending of George Floyd, a menace to society if there ever was one. Thankfully, there are limits, somewhat, to their ability to hide all the truth, if people are paying attention.

    I’m certainly in no position to argue over crime statistics in Iceland with a Nice Icelander, but I have a few theories, in general, and it certainly follows that many herein are in no position to argue with me, as a person who was raised and has lived amongst Mestizo/Hispanic culture, over the obvious disparity between groups, and the generalized group behaviors of Mestizos when they are in a majority. In point of fact, as a fair, white girl/woman, I was often a target. If a brown teenage boy flies down the hallway at school and grabs at breasts, is he raping the girls? Is he sexually assaulting the girls? Are the police notified? Do the girls bother to report it, as nothing of consequence happens afterwards? No, yes, no, no/yes. That’s how it mostly goes. Does it often escalate? Yes, again, and woe to the girls who do not see it for what it is or will become. Did the brown boys behave as deviously amongst the White majority? No. The southern border in America is not what official reports say it is; the wing-nuts are correct.

    Let’s do a quick thought experiment.

    Wikipedia – Crime in Sweden

    […]
    In August 2018, SVT reported that rape statistics in Sweden show that 58% of men convicted of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were immigrants born outside of the European Union: Southern Africans, Northern Africans, Arabs, Middle Easterns, and Afghans. Swedish Television’s investigating journalists found that in cases where the victims didn’t know the attackers, the proportion of foreign-born sex offenders was more than 80%. The number of rapes reported to the authorities in Sweden significantly increased by 10% in 2017, according to latest preliminary figures from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. The number of reported rape cases was 73 per 100,000 citizens in 2017, up 24% in the past decade. Official numbers show that the incidence of sexual offences is on the rise: the Government has declared that young women are facing the greatest risks and that most of the cases go unreported.

    A loose Google query –

    which country in scandinavia has the most crime?

    First return:
    Sweden
    Sweden now has the highest crime rate in Northern Europe, according to a new study that notes the country’s particular problems with gang violence and other crimes relating to gang activity, such as fraud, arms trafficking and drug trafficking. Oct 24,2023

    The article you posted

    THE LOCAL (SE)
    So Malmö’s numbers are far from the highest in Sweden. In fact, from 2012 to 2016 the average number of rapes in Malmö per 100,000 people was 61. This compares to a national average during the same time period…. The figures for 2016 are preliminary.

    At what point do the local girls get a clue and just stay home? What’s all that nonsense about unreported crimes in the Wikipedia article? What about the nonsense of retribution from immigrant family members/friends for reporting crimes? As the immigrant population rises, their local power will increase.

    THE LOCAL (SE)
    But again, factors like cultural norms can also impact the data.

    Indeed. Cultural norms such as girls/women should keep covered and require a male escort whenever they are out and about? If someone grabs your breasts or attempts to shove their hands down your pants, are they really raping you? If you don’t call the police, are you a victim of an assault? If you weren’t beaten to a pulp nor penetrated, are you the victim of a sexual assault? Cultural norms do differ….perhaps some cultures have a lower threshold for what constitutes a sexual assault/offense.

    THE LOCAL (SE)
    Sweden also significantly broadened its definition of rape in 2005, which means the word “rape” can be used to record acts which would be called assault or bodily harm in other countries.

    Yes, they did. So what? I think it’s a bit like pornography – you just recognize it when you see it. It’s much the same with sexual assault, especially if you feel it. A tweek on the backside is not a rape, or anything close, and if it’s Henry Cavill doing the tweeking, who really cares? Of course, Cavill would never do such a thing. In my opinion, if a Swedish woman/girl can no longer use public transportation, must keep every limb completely covered, regardless of temperature, and chooses to just stay at home out of fear/horror over the new, cultural norms, I say she is a victim of multiculturalism.

    In America, there are many cities founded by Nordics, especially in Michigan/Minnesota. Those Nordic people did not bring unrelenting high crime – violent, sexual, drug-related, or otherwise – when they arrived en masse. Modern Nordics rarely do, and frankly, the Nordics of yore, who were certainly less docile, are rolling over up in Valhalla.

    There is no rape crisis (or homicide/looting/felony crime crisis) in my country.
    And, to the extent that some immigrants might be engaging in these activities, it is not statistically different to background rates for the population as a whole.

    I doubt that, TruthV

    I suspect that as in all other Western nations, (I consider Australia to be culturally a Western nation), the (((media))) is very tightly controlled, and the local authorities all understand that certain crimes must be hushed up.

    I wonder, have you, (as an Australian) ever heard the expression, “Leb-style”

    As in gang-raped, ‘Leb (Lebanese)-style’?

    From Wiki, (of all places)

    30 August 2000 Wednesday Another woman was approached by attackers at the Bankstown railway station, who proposed she join them in smoking some cannabis at another location. She agreed and went with them. However, she was taken to three separate locations by the men and raped 25 times by a total of fourteen men in an ordeal that lasted six hours. After the attacks the woman was hosed down with a fire hose. The woman, who was known during the trial as ‘C’ to protect her identity, later told her story to 60 Minutes. She told of how the attackers called her an “Aussie Pig”, asked her if “Leb cock tasted better than Aussie cock” and explained to her that she would now be raped “Leb-style”.[3]

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

    4 September 2000 Monday Two girls, both 16, were taken by the attackers from Beverly Hills railway station to a house in another suburb, where three men repeatedly raped them over a period of five hours. One of the victims was told that “You deserve it because you’re an Australian”. Due to a plea bargain and the victims not testifying in person, several aggravating factors – kidnap, threats to kill and knife use – were dropped from the prosecution of this crime, without the victims’ knowledge.[7]

    Conservative commentators such as Miranda Devine categorised the crimes as racially or religiously motivated hate crimes.[1][2] She also asserted that much of the media had attempted to “airbrush” the racial element out of reporting on the crime spree; the victims said that all mention of the overtly racist statements made by the perpetrators had been “censored” from their official statements because their presence would complicate attempts to negotiate guilty pleas with the accused. Critics also claimed that, if the situation had been reversed, with a gang of white Australian men raping Muslim Australians “who deserved it because they were Muslim”, there would have been very different treatment.

    Argentina will rise like a phoenix and assume its rightful role as an economic colossus.

    Milei has schmoozed up to the Anglo Zionist empire and firmly stated that he’ll remain in their economic orbit, whilst simultaneously saying that Argentina will never join in the Belt and Road Initiative of China.

    this is what troubles me, not Anarcho-capitalism per se.

    You should not conflate iris scans with Anarcho Capitalism – as they have nothing to do with each other. If Argentina ever went the way of compulsory iris scans or ID implants or anything Orwellian like that, then this would be a DEPARTURE from Anarcho Capiltalism.
    At the end of the day, as long as Javier Milei does not use government coercion to force people to do something they would not otherwise do, then the spirit of liberty is preserved.

    at least there is a potential benefit from the experimental drugs, whereas with the ‘eye-scans’, there is only an Orwellian hell on earth looming from such capitulation. The Spirit of Liberty is not preserved with this technology, and it should be banned, IMHO.

    I could have told them, (and I did from this space) that by making common cause with ZOG, they’re going to get fucked.

    Today nations like Finland are doing all they can to cozy up to ZOG, and they will pay a very heavy price, it is certain.

    This is why the way forward is BRICS, not that they aren’t flawed, but they aren’t ZOG, and that makes all the difference.

    I don’t know what it’s like for Argentina, and what the new guy is actually attempting, but if my metric is as infallible as it’s always proved to be, thus far, then he’s setting up Argentina for a catastrophe. And if so, do you suppose ZOG will have any regrets?

    I think I read that Sweden installed a culture/history minister who was not Swedish, and he/she began to remove Viking artifacts from state museums.

    yea, I read about that.

    We were warned, that if Germany lost the war, the Jews would dominate the Western world.

    Was FDR Jewish? I dismissed those rumors, but he was certainly the most devious of all American presidents. At least Wilson expressed regret for what he had done; Eisenhower did, as well. I think they were both “selected.”

    He may have expressed regret, but he was the one who perpetrated the seminal betrayal, (the ((Fed))) that led the rape of Russia, communism, FDR and Eisenhower, Truman, all the way to 9/11 – Bush, Obama, Clinton, and what’s there currently. When he handed them the keys to our Treasury, he betrayed not just his nation and people, but our very civilization – to it’s most intractable and genocidal enemy.

    Had he set himself on fire, like that Marine just did- (directly as a consequence of Wilson’s betrayals), then perhaps I’d go a little easier on him. For now, I console myself hoping he’s in hell burning for eternity, which would be just.

    they were both “selected.”

    I think they all are, no?

    You mentioned the Prime Ministers of England and Scotland and Ireland, as wogs installed to betray and destroy those white nations. It’s beyond obvious what’s going on, no?

    Even Trump has been selected, he’s just not as slavishly obeisant to Jews as the rest are. Hence the hostility.

    The ‘Nazis’ were right, that if they lost, the Western world would come to regret it, and boy-oh-boy were they ever right.

    I think what’s going on now, is that same conflict is starting to get hot. Jewish supremacists and their armies of orcs, vs. the dying Western world.

    One way that is becoming obvious, is the way every opponent of mass-immigration into the West is being labeled as a ‘Nazi’.

    It’s going to boil down to ‘Nazis’ vs. the Jews, once again, as the last dying gasp of a two thousand+ year old civilization, makes its last ditch effort to persevere.

    What will come on the other side if it, (the West) falls, is too horrible for me to even contemplate.

    I only know about these Swedish claims peripherally, …. but to my rather uniformed mind on this front, …. the speculation I tend towards is this: What these Swede stats are all about, is a place where feminism is ascendant, among white women (with their particular girly-mode emotional peccadilloes), now having to deal with cultural differences on the man-woman dynamic (i.e. – non-feminist takes), … and getting mighty confused by that (i.e. – the young buck newly arrived from north Africa let’s say, …. he is gonna want to hump that fine Swedish booty on full display in skimpy outfits and such, …. and think it is a rather covert but open invitation [because it often is, … but even then it’s all about the ‘target audience’ for the skin show]), …. and that new dynamic is sometimes mighty yucky on many levels for these Swedish feminists, …. if she deems the dude a ‘no-man’ let’s say, …. which she sometimes will (but not always …. sometimes the swarthy stuff is an advantage for the swarthy dude), … and so the culturally ascendant Swedish feminism, invents wider definitions around ‘rape’, to deal with the new yuck factor, which instead works in the main to further alienate ethnically Swedish men away from romantic attachment for Swedish women (like, with the presence of these new men, … these Swedish dudes are not cool so much, any longer, to be chill around white women’s propensity, to go through life in ‘girly-mode’ delusion, …. that liability is no longer a nothingburger, for these white men).

    The feminism thing is a torch carried by the white women, but as well, by provenance is also very muchly Jewish.

    …the solution to this problem, of course, is to not admit single male immigrants. I’d say don’t admit immigrants at all, but that’s to address concerns other than violent crime.

    As an American, and knowing it was America that destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Syria and others.., (with the help of ((NATO)), of course), that I wouldn’t have an objection to elderly refugees coming to America for sanctuary and succor. We owe them that much.

    But it wasn’t middle America who planed and orchestrated these serial atrocities upon these nations and people. Rather, it was ZOG, and ZOG is also the enemy of Middle America.

    So why should Middle America (or Germany or Sweden, et al..) be forced to bear the burden of what their premiere and existential enemy – ZOG – does?

    Elderly people, sure. Military age young, and single men, (what most of them are), is an obvious agenda to wage war on Middle America, (and Germany and elsewhere). And obviously a genocidal war, at that.

    So these Jews destroy Muslim nations right and left, and then use the pretext of these wars being sins perpetrated by Western nations, to destroy those Western nations.

    I’m familiar with those terms and I know a few Lebs as well. Like every race, there are good and bad in all demographics.
    And yes, I’m well aware of that highly publicised case you brought up.
    My, my Rurik, you had to go back twenty (20) years to dredge up this one case. And, as I said before, I’m not claiming there are no rapes going on in Oz. What I am claiming is that there is no torrent of rapes being committed here by any demographic.
    There is no U.K style ‘Rotheram grooming gang rapes’ going on here on a recurring basis.
    Yes, there will be isolated incidents and no doubt you may be able to dredge up a few more from the archives. But there is no chronic escalation going on in this country.

    And one reason for that is that we do NOT have open borders. (It helps that we’re surrounded by water on all sides).
    Those that come here are assessed on their merits. You need a visa to enter the country and you won’t be granted one if you’re a felon that has committed a serious crime in the past.

    As for Javier Milei, I don’t know the man, and can’t vouch for what’s going on in his head.
    He is obviously stuck between a rock and hard place and thus been forced to make some concessions to the Anglo Zionist empire or risk never getting his reforms off the ground.
    I like to think he’s playing along with this cartel of Malignant International Jewish bankers, until such time as Argentina is able to stand up unassisted on its own two feet – just like Hitler schmoozed up to the Jewish bankers early on, and JFK did likewise during his 1960 Presidential campaign.
    One sometimes has to grit one’s teeth and go along to get along.
    Hopefully Milei is doing just that and will turn the tables on the Talmudic misfits down the track, just like Hiter did.

    Anyway, we’ll just have to see how this plays out.

    No. It’s not about that. We will not prevail (true-west, that is) if the consensus view that emerges, is just as you say. For crissakes people, …. this is about true-westernism vs. ethnic supremacist mentality (inclusive of the most subversive kinds of ethnic supremacist mentality that hides behind a mask of ‘holier-than-thou-bleeding-‘heart-liberals’).

    And this Jew thing is intertwined with the white thing. It was designed to be so, by the rabbinic control of yore among Ashkenazi groups in eastern Europe, for fucksakes. Look …. what the Jews have going on looks to be what the Caucasians actually have going on, except on steroids, for which, come with all the bad side effects too, for juicing one’s nervous physiology like that. To me, …. what this looks like as to what probably happened in the deep past, is that harsh and changing environmental conditions in Europe led to a dynamic whereby white women sexually selected for certain traits, ….. mainly fierceness + intelligence + self-discipline + toleration of girly-mode, …. among the males, … and this dynamic did lead to a healthy genotype, …. but then, this western root way of being led to so much success that these cultures grew like crazy and then administration of the resulting states became key, and this narrow Ashkenazi group, led by crazy psychopathic rabbis, decided to try to supercharge those traits, by way of inbreeding/outbreeding operations, … which did take, … except the inbreeding rendered the experiment very flawed, …. rising genotypic mutational load accompanied by bewildering non-expected nervous system expressions. Pretty much, … we should admit the truth so that the Caucasians and the Jews can finally reach some kind or real understanding (the JQ problems are actually just Caucasian minority problems, but now on steroids, … that’s why these problem resonate, so as to become powerful cultural weapons).

    Hey, TV. Given that you’re a bonafide Ozzie, perhaps you could tell us whether the information presented by Matthew Grant (a Canberra-based white rights activist) rings true.

    The following question was put to him back in 2015:

    Q. What is the current racial-state-of-play in Australia?

    Here is his response:

    A. The actual figures are impossible to know. Firstly, since 1972 the department of immigration has not been allowed to record the religious or racial backgrounds of any immigrant passing through our borders. They are just “people” and the national census does not list race, only nationality. In this way, any Chinaman or African can just write “Australian” because he feels like an Australian this year.

    I would estimate the country is still 80 percent white. The cities however are reaching Asiatic populations of 35–40 percent in many places, which isn’t very good.

    At the current trend of immigration, we are taking in 190,000 people a year. I would bet a few dollars that the majority of those immigrants are nonwhites. This means that we are in the dire situation where, in the next half century, the white race could indeed be a minority in the country we have built.

    What are the statistics for immigrant/’refugee’ rape that goes unreported, for myriad reasons; – the poor girls will be accused of racism, they might have been brutalized, and not want to relive the horror, and many other reasons. Finding a Swedish husband might (sadly) be more complicated, and so forth. We’ll never know, will we.

    My guess is, Sweden has the highest report rate in the world. It’s been at the forefront in women’s rights for many decades and the Swedish feminists are certainly a force to be reckoned with and this has been one of their projects for a long time. That’s likely one of the main reasons they have so many reported rapes. I’d say Eastern Europe and so many others haven’t done this. That’s why they have so few.

    Part of that system is concealing the identity of the victim and even the attacker depending on circumstances. Sometimes perhaps misunderstood as attempt to mask immigrant crimes. I think we have adopted the Swedish system here in Iceland, more or less. At least the main ideas. And we also have very high numbers.

    Well, then bring in more immigrants!

    Trying to understand what’s going on regarding the alleged Swedish rape epidemic doesn’t mean I am supporting immigration. What gave you that idea?

    But this is the thing, I challenge anyone to explain to us what benefit it is to the Swedish people to have any of these immigrants from non-Western nations coming into Sweden.

    I don’t think benefit for the Swedish people is the idea. I think most of the none-western Immigrants are refugees. And the idea is, we can help them, let’s do it. I may be both wrong and perhaps nasty, but if you bring the nurturing spirit of women to the high table of national power – this is what you may easily get. In the west we already have huge number of highly educated women in high places and involved in party politics and pressure groups of all kind. I think they didn’t all leave their natural tendencies behind, and to many of them don’t have kids to fulfill some desires – so they take great interest in rescuing refugees.

    Mix that together with the spirit of Scandinavian social democracy and you end up with a lot of people hell bent on doing good. Like say, helping the refugees fleeing the U.S. wars in the middle east.

    Believe it or not, I share some of your pain, but our societies have absorbed so many new ideas in the past decades – all the cats are out of the bags, running to the hills, and they are never coming back. The incredible change in ideas and the society I have witnessed in the past 50 years is mind boggling. We are ongoing massive social experiment on many levels with no end in sight. I get nostalgic at times and want to go back in time to my old Iceland. I know many Swedes feel the same.

    Heinrich Bunting was a German Protestant pastor, theologist and cartographer, and in his masterpiece Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae (Travel Through Holy Scripture) in 1581, he portrayed the world that mattered was comprised of the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, with each depicted as a cloverleaf. They converged in Jerusalem, and the rest of the world was irrelevant…

    Here is a strange story for you about immigration, and how it can happen.

    About a year ago some sober minds in the Icelandic gov apparatus started to wonder why we had so many refugees from Venezuela seeking something called international protection? We had several thousand applications and bunch of them already here. Clogging the pipes of the ‘system’. One of the question that came up was – why do people from Venezuela deserve international protection under Icelandic law?

    Well, Remember when Donald Trump was trying to topple the president of Venezuela and install Juan Guaidó instead? Turns out the Icelandic minister of justice declared full support for Juan Guaidó in 2018. Said minister one Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson is member of the big old conservative party over here. The most powerful block in our politics for many decades. Very dedicated to NATO and I seriously doubt a negative word about the U.S. has been spoken in party meetings for decades. I am not sure the U.S. state-department has yet managed to tell a lie so silly they didn’t fully believe it.

    So the minister was doing his duty and supporting U.S. policy and likely believing a lot of horror stories about the situation in Venezuela and therefore changing it’s safety rating in the Icelandic system, triggering change in laws giving people from Venezuela rights for International protection in Iceland. Then he probably just went to golf with the U.S. ambassador and forgot about it.

    Of course someone found out about this quickly and this started the immigration wave from Venezuela to Iceland. We had more immigrants in 2023 from Venezuela than from war ridden Ukraine. In the past months, new minister of justice who is responsible for immigration affairs is trying to turn some of these people away and send it back home to Venezuela after discovering the situation in Venezuela isn’t perhaps ‘as bad as we thought’ so they don’t deserve international protection anymore.

    Numbers are difficult to come by, but it seems this adventure imported 3000 people form V to Iceland. Currently the U.S. population is about 1000 times larger than of Iceland. So in U.S context we imported 3 million V’s by accident over a period of few years thanks to the stupidity of our conservative party leaders.

    but because of their nature or nurture or both, the ‘understanding’ will be, as it must be, a mutually exclusive ‘solution’. You can not make concessions with them. They don’t work that way. This is what Putin means by The Empire of Lies being ‘agreement-incapable’.

    This is why there’s an ongoing genocide in Gaza, and Ukraine being orchestrated by ZOG.

    So I should take that back. They are agreement-capable, all you have to do, is agree to be genocided, and then both sides would agree.

    Indeed, in a way, this is how the leaders of the West, have come to be in agreement with the J-supremacists. They’ve agreed to genocide their people, for a handful of shekels.

    My guess is, Sweden has the highest report rate in the world. It’s been at the forefront in women’s rights for many decades and the Swedish feminists

    that’s very strange, Niceland, because here in the U.S., (and Europe), it’s the feminists who’re reliably, whenever there are horrible rapes and murders of Western gals, to howl at the outrage with the thunderous outcry of a

    in other words, never a peep

    Has a feminist, in Sweden, (or Iceland) that you know of, ever so much as hinted that immigrant rape of Swedish women and girls was a bad thing?

    They’re rail all day long over the misogyny of white men who don’t want their teenage daughters to get their tits chopped off, but when it comes to the rape or murder (or both) of a white woman by a non-white male, they are uniformly silent, (and complicit).

    Muslim immigration for them, including the status of women in Islam, is great, GREAT ALL DAY LONG!, so long as the Muslims are non-whites.

    here is an iconic image of an iconic American cunt

    seething her rage at white men, and hailing the likes of Condoleezza and Hillary, as her heroines of morality. She loves Islam, but damns any white man who questions the wisdom of massive immigration of Muslims into the West.

    I don’t know about Sweden’s feminists, but ours are radical gutter skanks (like the one pictured) whose only concern is that there’s too much ‘white supremacy’.

    Sometimes perhaps misunderstood as attempt to mask immigrant crimes.

    “Misunderstood”?!

    doesn’t mean I am supporting immigration. What gave you that idea?

    the kind of thing you just wrote above.

    Hushing up non-white crimes is so overtly a part of the Jewish strategy of their genocidal assault on all white nations, that I really didn’t think anyone was so obtuse to not know by now that it’s OBVIOUSLY to mask immigrant, (and all non-white) crimes. Just as Tiptoe has been relentlessly pointing out, but to deaf ears, so it seems.

    explain to us what benefit it is to the Swedish people to have any of these immigrants from non-Western nations coming into Sweden.

    I don’t think benefit for the Swedish people is the idea.

    thank you

    we certainly agree on something.

    I think most of the none-western Immigrants are refugees. And the idea is, we can help them, let’s do it.

    How many of these people are inviting the ‘refugees’ into their own homes? How many of these compassionate Swedish feminists in government have invited African and Muslim refugees into their own homes?

    Any?

    Wouldn’t that set an example, and defuse the charge of hypocrisy, to invite a few young Muslim and African males to come and live with their families, to show the world how wrong are all those ‘racist’ naysayers all are, by showing how wonderful it is to embrace these people, and help them.

    They could make a reality television show, about some government minister and the four African and Muslim men, aged 17, 24, 27 and 32, all from different backgrounds, and all living harmoniously in the same Swedish home, in the same Swedish village.

    It would be a sensation. (Of that, I’m sure).

    and you end up with a lot of people hell bent on doing good

    reminds me of a scene from Josey Wales

    ‘Doing good ain’t got no end’

    Believe it or not, I share some of your pain,

    I wouldn’t call it pain. None of it effects me personally. But I suppose a certain sadness, like what Enoch Powell felt when he mentioned “It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”

    Or what some people must have wondered, back when they were sending the children on a “Children’s crusade’, to subdue the Muslim hordes in the Holy Land.

    What are you people thinking?!

    ‘Good Lord’, is I suspect my gut reaction. That and ‘No thanks’, at least not for moi.

    I get nostalgic at times and want to go back in time to my old Iceland. I know many Swedes feel the same.

    well, you may think there is no going back, but many nations and even civilizations have been on the brink before, and they’ve rallied at the critical moment.

    Once the people start to understand what is really going on, and who’s orchestrating it, then there will likely be a correction, which is already under way in Sweden and Denmark and beyond.

    1. And these Jews are more Caucasian than you are willing to admit. 2. The JQ is basically about a particular perversion of true-westernism

    1. To the extent they have interbred with White Gentiles, sure, but they set themselves apart, in general. Even those who are fully assimilated cling to certain aspects of their culture, as we all do. Unfortunately, many of those aspects seem to conflict with European society. They seem dead-set on undermining European culture, i.e. Hollywood.

    2. If that were true, Jewry would not have needed the English/American battering rams to secure Palestine on their behalf, nor would they require English/American subsidies to keep it.

    But you don’t get it Tip Toe -I have predator instincts

    Yes, I think I do. If men are anything like dogs, they often lash out in fear, or make rash decisions out of anxiety, so fearful can be dangerous, whilst confidence/true strength/experience can be dangerous, in and of itself, therefore such men are often less of a menace, in general, as they are self-regulating, and by law of the jungle, they are left alone by the riff-raff. It is a woman’s lot in life to distinguish between the Lions and the Hyenas.

    Are you suggesting that I would fear you upon observation? Based on our correspondence, I’m certain I could subdue you with chocolate pudding.

    What do you think you are escaping from, exactly?

    Who said anything about escaping? Our choice of activities was based on personal preferences, not fear of dark Canadians.

    Sometimes one’s choices are inherently less risky; when I go to the symphony, I do not encounter dark men in hoodies; I’m fairly certain there are no middle age men in suit & tie at a rap concert – in the audience, anyway. In the old growth forests and the botanical gardens, I noticed only white and asian people, but mostly white people.

    What parts of North America do you live?

    Texas. Always in Texas.

    Now, I have traveled all over the US, with the exception of NE, by choice. With the further exception of Texas, Arizona and Colorado, I wouldn’t say I have traveled extensively – We stayed in Bend, Oregon; on the last two days of our trip, we wandered the coast of Oregon; I wanted to hit Klamath Falls, but I lost the coin toss. That is the extent of my one trip to Oregon, in example; I wouldn’t say I know Oregon.

    How in heavens name do you think you can avoid humanity, TipToe? Sounds like an illusion a woman would spin. Didn’t you ever have to work?

    Yes, I worked, but I semi-retired at around age 30-31. Before I was married, I often traveled for work, even to the Rio Grande Valley. I don’t avoid humanity; I avoid dangerous humans.

    I sound like a woman trying to avoid contributing the the rape/crime statistics like the average Swede in modern Sweden. And, might I just say, 2024 Sweden is a hell-hole compared to 1970 Sweden. I wasn’t alive in 1970, but I assume that’s true, as I know a few Scandinavians who say so.

    Perhaps you want to know how I became a she-“nazi”? Let me explain multiculturalism in Texas when Whites were still the majority –

    In central Texas, there were primarily 3 groups – White (German in specific areas), Mestizo, and Hispanic (Legacy Spaniards, who will not tolerate being called Mestizos). The Hispanics were primarily in South Texas. In grade school, whites were the absolute majority; middle and high school consolidates student populations, so there were more (lets’s just say) Mexicans, but Whites were still the majority. At that time, the population groups self-segregated, so there were brown schools in certain areas and white schools in other areas, and the twain met with the Great School Bussing Epidemic. I was shocked at the disparity in behavior and intellect by the brown student body, and I learned all sorts of sexual innuendo that I had never before known (I often wondered-what does that mean?). We (white girls) were grabbed in the hallways, and I was twice sent to the office for confrontations over defending myself against sexual advances; once dragged outside the school, and saved by a few students and a teacher.

    Now, I am not, nor was I, in a socio-economic bracket that meant I often spent time in those poor neighborhoods, with poor people, as Repulsky suggested, but there is crossover. Having said that, the small town in which I was born could be classified as mostly poor/rural, but it was entirely White and there was no crime; no violent neighborhoods.

    Having said all that, I do know some perfectly wonderful, gentle, hard-working, lovely Mexican men and women, but unfortunately, they are the exceptions, not the rule. I will say that those who have been in Texas for generations seem quite different from those more recently arrived, and avoiding dangerous people does not mean living in fear, but it’s getting harder and harder to steer clear of more dangerous areas, as since Robinette usurped office, I now see black men, heretofore rarely seen, walking along roadways with backpacks; blacks are everywhere now; I’m not exaggerating. We have gone from seeing 2-4 every few years, whilst out and about locally, to seeing 5-10 per day. In America, the federal government is mandating that apartment housing reserve units for “diverse” renters, whose rent is subsidized by tax dollars, and that’s how they arrive to areas wherein one would think they can’t afford to live. It’s called Affordable Housing.

    Why penalize the current inhabitants unnecessarily when it really does tend to be more of a zero-sum game for those root European cultures? So, in Europe, these policies are actually faux-west policies (i.e. – inherently not fair).

    Well, boo-hoo, Mr. Man. What about your predatory instincts?

    Life ain’t fair, but if you want to tally up – Arabs, Turks, Berbers, Mongols ran amok in Africa, Europe, Eurasia and Asia, pillaging, plundering, enslaving, castrating, raping, so on, long before the BlueEyed Devils arrived en masse to even the score; should we discuss the Aztecs, Mayans, Comanches and all that heart-ripping and nose/ear/eyelid chopping/slicing, infant dragging, enemy torture? So, in other words, GET IN LINE for the pity party. Stop making excuses. Please.

    And, if the BlueEyedDevils were so monstrous, why are BED Nations those that everyone else clamors to live in? I’m not suggesting no other groups of people are capable of sustaining a prosperous society, but the vast majority of people who want to improve their lot in life target western nations. Obviously today, there is a malevolent force behind the migrations, but prior to this current machination by the string-pullers, Western Nations have been the primary target.

    And, oh the irony of the African slave trade into the Americas – Jewish from top to bottom, and yes, a fraction of Whites participated, as who else will do the heavy lifting, but the English saved the Africans from centuries of chattel slavery in Africa, Arabia, Asia…and the pesky Jews obfuscate the history, blame the Whites, and Whites say, Sorry! I’ve had enough of this crap….

    “So these Jews destroy Muslim nations right and left, and then use the pretext of these wars being sins perpetrated by Western nations, to destroy those Western nations.”

    And there is the rub. The last part, – “to destroy those Western nations”, …. doesn’t appear to be all that true in action, depending on context, even if it may be the case that the JQ is delusionally all mixed-in with immigration policy shenanigans, for which there does appear to be a lot of evidence, I agree. Because these Muslims came over, and then spoke frankly, and sincerely, about their JQ insights, and basically described the very mess we find ourselves in today, spelled out in the gory technicolor of frank/sincere Muslim people saying just that, but no more (no fuss beyond that), as early as the early 1990’s ,… this was just a normal thing within the ever-changing Western Canadian commons. The takeaway: True-west is mighty strong. In fact it looks to be the globalist prescription that actually will work at that organizational level, and that therefore, it appears the world needs and will continue to embrace, …. because the human world does need some form of globalism at this stage, but God-forbid this current group of faux-west corporatist globalists actually rising to their pretension of maintaining they are the true inheritors of the western gestalt, …. hahahahaha!!!, what a fucking joke, that, …… that’s JQ-subverted anti-west gestalt (clown world, in other words).

    It’s funny about the foreign Muslims. They are our allies. They don’t hate us (hate true-west). They get it (western sense of fairness). They like us. It’s true.

    I like your ending. In the ending your are insinuating true-west is just fine, until the alter ego (the JQ speakers) speak. I concur. But wow, …. that was some convoluted wild ride, getting to your valid, nevertheless, conclusion (that’s why white men have been molded to tolerate the girly-mode of white women as a genotypically healthy eventuality, …. because despite what otherwise you may say about it, this girly-mode is very emotionally sophisticated, ….. drawing wise conclusions from what looks to the white man’s eyes, as emotional mish-mash [but that we honor nevertheless, as the female prerogative, because we respect the wisdom, … we are not fools]).

    On the BlueEyedDevils (I got green myself), …. it goes way, way back. The early western women (Europeans of 10’s of thousands of years ago) sexually selected for fierceness + intelligence + self-discipline + toleration of girly-mode ….. that mix of female ‘desire’ won out within those harsh ever-changing environmental conditions. Generally white women do not understand just how blood-lusty their well disciplined men can be. Other peoples in other places sexually selected somewhat differently, ….. featuring some, but not all, of these 4 traits. No one should discount the BlueEyedDevils. The BlueEyedDevils hit upon a new dynamic, … a high trust dynamic, …. based upon responsible individualism, …… for which the penalty for transgression would be gruesome night of the long knives hidden away from the sensitive eyes of the women. But this dynamic as shaped by white women. Note outsiders can become members as responsible individuals, within this high trust dynamic. In those ancient and harsh environmental conditions, that would have been a big boon. Now the white women need to feel their way through this. They can, and will.

    Interesting what you say about your experiences in Texas. Is it the mestizo men (and boys) or the Hispanic men (and boys) that behave that way? Way back in the mid 1970’s in high school in Alberta, in a very ethnically mixed neighborhood (of various Europeans) there was an Italian hallway in the high school, for which the Italian boys would fuck with everyone entering that hallway, group-clusterfuck-like, …. so fucking try-hard extroverted was part of the Italian bravado at that time, …. well that was just a temporary blimp in the whole scheme of the ever-changing demographic kaleidoscope here. Italians really aren’t very much like that actually (though verbose, it’s true). Who knows why the try-hard need arose in that group at that time, …. try-hard to differentiate and take it out on everyone else, … but that simply just passed. Some of this may be contextual is what I am suggesting (but I am not in Texas, but in Alberta, …. here, it is everyone under the sun, actually …. and I don’t know so much about Hispanics actually, and natives here are different than there, it seems, ….. the ones that married up with French and Irish and became the Metis, are pretty cool, actually, … many of the men really are ladies’ men, that very much please the western ladies, as sexy beasts, apparently).

    Probably it is that you are very good looking in the Caucasian neotenous way. Part of the overall root-western package, this. If so, then all the women secretly want to be you, and all the men secretly want to seed you. I dunno. That could be your burden.

    “Are you suggesting that I would fear you upon observation? Based on our correspondence, I’m certain I could subdue you with chocolate pudding.”

    I think you would probably feel safe around me, upon observation. Yet you don’t see the whole package, do you (#13?)? Yet, you will feel safe.

    The wing-nuts are suggesting that Sweden is devolving into a crime-ridden hell-hole.

    Uh, no, the wing-nuts (you among them) are saying that Sweden IS a crime-ridden hell-hole. I asked you where all this alleged raping of white Swedish girls IS taking place. Look, if the issue was just that you were predicting that Sweden was going to be become some crime-ridden place, this whole “debate” (if you can call it that) would not even be possible.

    the wing-nuts said there’s no evidence of 6 million dead,

    Well, actually, by and large, the wing-nuts in questions never say anything about that issue. The whole Islamophobia, inc sort of project, Gatestone Institute, Pam Geller, etcetera… these are all zionists or shills for the zionists so they never say anything about the problems with the Holocaust narrative. In fact, they will point to the fact that many (possibly most) Muslims do not believe in the Holocaust story to reinforce the notion that Muslims are such horrible people.

    Numbers are difficult to come by, but it seems this adventure imported 3000 people form V to Iceland. Currently the U.S. population is about 1000 times larger than of Iceland. So in U.S context we imported 3 million V’s by accident over a period of few years thanks to the stupidity of our conservative party leaders.

    So why don’t you start a propaganda campaign claiming that there is now 10x as much raping going on in Iceland and it is all attributable to those 3000 Venezuelans?

    I’ve never heard of this guy called Matthew Grant, so he’s evidently some non entity that few people tune in to.
    In relation to his claims about the racial state of play like:

    Firstly, since 1972 the department of immigration has not been allowed to record the religious or racial backgrounds of any immigrant passing through our borders. They are just “people” and the national census does not list race, only nationality.

    That may or may not be true, I don’t know.

    But even though race/religion may not be recorded, at least nationality is listed when someone emigrates here, and that’s pretty much sufficient.
    So, if someone emigrated from Kenya, they may well be a white Kenyan taken from that exceedingly small subset of whites that are the descendants of those white settlers that came to Africa many generations ago.
    But it’s a pretty safe bet that they’re black (not that Australia is taking many Kenyans in any case).
    Now, as far as nationality goes, we have had tons of South Africans and a good many Zimbabweans (formerly Southern Rhodesians) come to Australia.

    Also, as many of you will be aware, Britain has a lot citizens that are of Pakistani, Indian or of Caribbean island descent. So, when someone emigrates to Oz from Britain, seeing as only nationality is recorded, you might assume that a large proportion of Brits that emigrate here (and a million or two emigrated here post WWII), were dark skinned.
    Actuality: NOT SO !!
    They are overwhelmingly white British that were/are coming here. I cannot recall the last time I met a Pakistani/Jamaican/Indian with a British accent. To the extent that they might be coming, it is obviously a trickle
    Now, you might say that according to this method of recording ‘nationality’, one is unable to distinguish whether ( in the case of South African immigrants) they’re white, black or brown (the latter being South Africans of Indian descent who lived in that country over many generations).

    Well, I can tell you for a fact that the South Africans and Zimbabweans we took in were overwhelmingly white (> than 95%). ie: those that were better educated/cashed up/played Rugby or cricket/had something to offer the country.
    We took in very, very few black South Africans. That said, we took in a reasonable number of South Africans of Indian descent. My friend’s wife is one such person and she is a sweetie, her brother is a friend of mine.
    From what I’ve seen the Indian South Africans (and indeed the Indians from the sub continent), that came here were all skilled professionals and/or had entrepreneurial expertise. They had something to offer the country and have fitted in very nicely. (I have never heard of any blow back resulting from this demographic).

    This Grant bloke also writes:

    The cities however are reaching Asiatic populations of 35–40 percent in many places, which isn’t very good.

    It is true that, if you ever visited Sydney, you’ll see a ton of Asians clustered around the city centre. Just like in the cities from whence they came (Ho Chin Minh city, Shanghai, Bangkok etc), they like the ‘living-in-a-dog-box-high-rise-apartment’ lifestyle.
    You will see an especially large concentration around the Chinatown area of Sydney.

    Bear in mind also that a LOT of these younger Asians are students and are not permanent residents. Australia has a high standard of tertiary education (three universities in the top 50 rankings) and a huge number of foreign students (mainly from China) study here.
    In fact, this is one of Australia’s largest ‘export’ earnings sectors and has been for decades.
    A dozen or so years ago the Australian dollar (AUD) was worth USD $1.10.
    Today, with all the manipulation of the AUD by the cartel of Jewish bankers, the AUD = USD 65 cents. So an education in an Australian university is now significantly better value for money for said Asian students.
    Also, at any given time, among the throngs of Asians you’ll see in our cities (esp. on the east coast in the three largest cities), there will be a large number of tourists year round, seeing as our climate is more or less like southern California.
    Australia is one of the favoured destinations for Chinese (and Japanese) tourists, so the presence of these temporary interlopers may give you the impression there are more Asians in Oz than is actually the case.

    Bear in mind also that Australia took in more Vietnamese refugees/boat people than the U.S in per capita terms (by a large margin), in the aftermath of the Vietnam war, and they have tended to congregate in our two largest cities (Sydney and Melbourne), but that does not reflect the demographics of Australia as a whole.
    Go to the regional and rural areas/small towns across the country and it is 98% white. (The immigrants don’t like to work the land or live in those mining towns).

    Bottom Line: The east and south east Asian community, ie: (Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean/Thai/Filipino/Indonesian etc), have settled in very nicely. To the extent that there are some Asian gangs that deal in drugs, engage in other illicit activities, their impact is negligible and they rarely harass their white hosts.
    For the most part, any Asian violence is committed against their fellow Asians, and even that is nothing of consequence these days.

    Here are some snippets of Bill Bonner’s output:

    ‘In the real world of Main Street, real goods and services are exchanged. One gives. Another takes.

    And the world becomes a richer place as each person tries to please the other with better goods and services, delivered with ever bigger smiles.

    Bad exchanges are quickly stopped. You don’t like the bread your baker is making for you; you go to a different baker.

    Hygiene is the hidden secret of capitalism. Bad restaurants are emptied. Bad ideas are purged. Mistakes are corrected.

    But governments operate on a pre-civilised, win-lose model. There is take, but no give. The feds never have to satisfy a customer or show a profit. And their ‘investments’ are almost all losers’.

    And this on how Free Markets and Free Speech go hand in hand …

    The elite are not outsiders; they’re insiders, eager to protect their power, status, and wealth. They do not favour free speech; if free speech were allowed, ‘The People’ — or at least dissident intellectuals — would use it to criticise them!

    The elite deciders believe they are no longer at the mercy of ‘old wives’ tales’ or constitutions. Like Joe Biden or Donald Trump, they think they can make up their own rules — as they go.

    They’re in the position of George III, eager to protect what they’ve got against the outsiders. They don’t like free speech because it challenges their ideas. And they don’t like free markets either. Free markets are in constant churn. One man invents a state-of-the-art camera. Then, another invents a cellphone that takes pictures too. One upstart discovers oil and before you know it, his grandson is governor of New York.

    Free markets, like free speech, make everyone better off. In the competition between ideas and opinions, much like the competition between businesses, entrepreneurs and technologies, The People come out ahead.
    But the insiders don’t necessarily come out ahead.
    They own the camera company, not tomorrow’s smartphone company; they’re the ruling class now, but not necessarily tomorrow’s governors and bureaucrats.

    Naturally, they try to stop the future before it happens.

    And lastly, one of my favourites, as Bill Bonner slaps down those ADL affiliated operatives (like John’s Johnson), who was saying that the Anglo Zionist empire would prevail in the Ukraine proxy war because Russia had a smaller GDP than California, or some such:

    Quality versus quantity

    Compared to the US, the Russian economy is tiny — roughly equivalent to Spain. But it’s not the size of the Russian economy that poses a challenge, it’s the quality of it.

    Over many years, the US economy has been pumped up by financialisation, fake money, and faddish technology. The Russian economy has not.
    Russia sells necessities — food, fertiliser, and fuel.

    Oh…and Russia is also a big producer of ‘industrial warfare’ ammunition, bullets, and artillery shells, for example.

    So, when we compare the two economies, what do we see?

    Russia — wheat, barley, seafood, nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, oil, gas, metals, and minerals…many of them essential to modern economies and standards of living.

    US — Facebook, Netflix, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, Tesla, Walmart, Apple.

    A tale of two economies

    The US economy is much bigger. But how much is it fluffed up with things we mostly don’t really need? Entertainment. Distraction. Consumption. Do our most valuable US companies actually help us produce wealth? Or do they subtract it by wasting our most precious asset — our time?

    How much of the US economy is just foam, created by the Fed’s money printing and phony interest rates over the last 30 years? A week or so ago, we estimated the froth in household wealth at more than US$50 trillion. This is how much would vanish if the financialised economy were de-financialised…with stocks, bonds, and real estate marked down to more ‘normal’ levels.

    How would the two countries — Russia versus the US — stack up then?

    Maybe a better question is this: when push comes to shove, how important is the quality of output, compared to the quantity of it?

    If Facebook, oops…Metaverse, shut down, people would be disappointed. But would it really matter? They don’t make bullets in the Metaverse; they make them in Russia.

    And they don’t deliver gas from Netflix. It comes from Russia, too.
    And if it were turned off; what would be the effect?
    It looks like we’re going to find out.

    You see Mev, Dovid has been assigned a job to do here in UR by his ADL/B’nai B’rith handlers, and that job entails DEFLECTION of blame away from the ZOG orchestrators of this crime.
    Meanwhile, I haven’t seen Dovid Miller in the Open Threads, or anywhere else in UR for some weeks now. He used to claim that he enjoyed the debate with us, but the reality is he was hurting badly, after being exposed time and again as someone not seeking out the truth, and being on the receiving end of one shellacking after another.

    It appears that his ADL handlers unceremoniously withdrew him from his post here to spread disinfo, after his disastrous performances that convinced no one.
    Assuming Dovid Miller is still contributing his B.S somewhere in UR, the likely place to find him is the ‘Enclave of Imbecility’ (aka the Steve Sailer threads), where he is surrounded by like minded dolts and apologists for ZOG’s depraved crimes.

    My, my Rurik, you had to go back twenty (20) years to dredge up this one case.

    Oh, twenty years, eh? Well, not only is this something that happened 20 years ago, but it happened on the other side of the world, in Australia, when we’re talking about Sweden, no? (Strange…)

    Well, he only had to go back 14 years to dredge up the Elin Krantz case in Sweden. Strange that he’d have to go back 14 years to find a case to rant about if white girls really are getting raped and murdered all over the place over there.

    But that’s just one of these strange things. Here’s another strange thing: apparently so many thousands of people (was it tens of thousands or did you sometimes say hundreds of thousands?) saw a plane hit a building in New York on 9/11 but you can’t name any of them! Well, okay, Old Philosopher and Unnamed Black Dude….Whatever… kinda strange, eh?

    And, as I said before, I’m not claiming there are no rapes going on in Oz. What I am claiming is that there is no torrent of rapes being committed here by any demographic.

    Well, that’s reasonable, but I am pretty sure that the above statement is true if you replace “Oz” by any Scandinavian country. These are all very peaceful, orderly countries, but sure, some poor woman is raped now and then.

    But, regardless, if the ziocons wanted to mount a propaganda campaign claiming that Australia is a crime-ridden hellhole with women being raped all over the place, they could surely do that. And they’d have their shills here screaming about it. Rurik would be here screaming about this case from 20 years ago of the Lebanese gang and whatever else he could dig up. I suppose you’d be trying to talk some sense into him. Or maybe you wouldn’t be. If the ziocons were out to villify Australia in that kind of way (which it seems they aren’t) you’d probably change your tune pretty much immediately.

    You are misunderstanding my point. How could a lasting solution be a ‘mutually exclusive solution’ when it is that the JQ subversion works, because there exits within the western goy cohort, a smallish minority very prone to cluster-B type persona action, which are given the floor left/right and center, because their psycho-pathology mirrors what is more the usual within the narrower Jewish cohort?

    Are you suggesting that I expect pity as a ploy to absolve myself from responsibilities? What pity? And what responsibilities?

    I was referring to the current apology tour required of European people over historical events – the slave trade! Colonialism! You stole our land! – said events that occurred just about everywhere on earth at one time or another. Advil just issued an advertisement over “pain equity.” THAT pity party.

    I was suggesting you refrain from attempts to “see their side,” as they are only interested in one side of the issue. Have you ever heard a white person whinge about the European slave trade? How many white people even know about the European slave trade?

    your logic is convoluted here

    Yes, it was clumsy. I think I read your statement as – Jewish behavior/history is parallel with European behavior/history, as in they are both rather similar. You were inferring that Jews and Caucasians were more the same than different. To a certain extent, human behavior is similar. The JQ is, in a nutshell – are they always seeking a zero-sum advantage? Do they instigate turmoil purely for the sake of money/power? Do they subvert cultural norms to weaken the society of others for their advantage? And, are their actions deliberate as a means to an end? Oh, are they still pissed about the destruction of that temple? Europeans have done things to achieve an advantage, etc., but for the most part, our actions were taken directly and our goals were openly stated, and we conducted our actions ourselves, whereas the Jews are almost always sneaky; they hide their true motives; and they get others to do the heavy lifting.

    There are exceptions, of course – FDR. But, Americans heard the lies about WW2, and then Pearl Harbor was attacked, so we declared war and fought our own battle, albeit under false pretenses. WW2 was a war to maintain the status quo of Jewry.

    Alright, compared to what? Compared to South Africa? And, sure, I’m moving the goalpost here a bit, but there are no-go zones in Sweden, as confirmed by Sweden’s police chief, as well as significant increases in all manner of crimes, including rape. What/who is the source of all this crime? So, as I said previously, Sweden of today is a hell-hole compared to Sweden of 1970. Compared to South Africa, Sweden is relatively safe.

    I asked you where all this alleged raping of white Swedish girls IS taking place.

    And, I told you.

    And, I am waiting for your thoughts on Knoxville, Wichita, Zebra, and let’s throw in the Seacrest Diner of New York. False flags? Is there a statue of Channon Christian anywhere in America?

    Well, actually, by and large, the wing-nuts in questions never say anything about that issue.

    ? Yes, they do.

    I guess you are referring to the wing-nuts currently focusing on the local criminality of non-European people? Ok. I was suggesting that the original wing-nuts were correct in their assertions, in general, over the accuracy of the official state-sponsored narrative of several social/historical events. Wing-nuts seem to be more correct than not. Even Alex Jones hits the nail on the head frequently. If you haven’t watched the hilarious spanking he gave Piers Morgan over gun control, you’re missing out. Do you want a link?

    The whole Islamophobia, inc sort of project, Gatestone Institute, Pam Geller, etcetera… these are all zionists or shills for the zionists

    I am unfamiliar with Gatesstone. I am somewhat familiar with Pam Geller.

    You are most likely a shill for something nefarious; I’m not sure what exactly.

    Islam has been an historical enemy of Europa; particularly Christian Europa. Jewry has been an enemy of us all, and it still is. The primary difference is that Islam is/was mostly overt in their machinations, although unlike Christian doctrine, lying to Infidels to benefit Islam is sanctioned by the Quran, as is lying to everyone else is sanctioned by the Talmud.

    A phobia is an irrational fear, so….there’s no such thing as Islamophobia as it pertains to western nations.

    It’s bad enough that those Muzzies are raping the shiksas all over the place. But they don’t even believe our Holocaust story. What terrible people!

    I wonder why that plump little Jewess, I forget her name, proudly announced through HIAS that at least 1000 rabbis signed a petition against limiting the number of refugees taken in from the Middle East by Europe/America?

    And there is the rub. The last part, – “to destroy those Western nations”, …. doesn’t appear to be all that true in action,

    do you understand that the West ~ is the culture and the people of the West?

    And that you’ll find ‘the West’, wherever you find the people and culture of the West?

    It may have started in Greece, and then Rome, but that the U.S. and Canada, are, (were) very much a part of ‘the West’?

    Pretty obvious, I know, right?

    But then consider the outposts of the West, in the modern world. One such place, I see mentioned here of late, was the thriving African nation of Rhodesia.

    This is a scene from Salisbury, Rhodesia when it was every bit a part of ‘the West’.

    Such a photo could have been taken in London, Detroit, or anywhere else in the greater Western world.

    Not so today, because Salisbury, Rhodesia no longer exists. It’s been replaced with Harare, Zimbabwe, and such a scene would be impossible in these places today, because they are no longer part of the Western world.

    Here, someone has created a photo montage to punctuate that point.

    Because Rhodesia didn’t die as an isolated incident, (in spite the blather of our resident zio-liar on this thread), but rather part of a wider trend. Do you understand that?

    Soon South Africa also fell, and has descended into crime-ridden shithole, where yes, rape is pandemic.

    All over the dying West, cities are descending into savagery. Paris, once a hub of sublime Western culture- directly in the center of the Western world, (formerly known as Christendom), has Africans shitting on the streets and Muslims building mosques by the thousands in France, and scores of them in Paris. Ditto San Francisco and myriad cities all across the dying West.

    It is a trend, and it is intensifying. So you’ll forgive me, but when you make comments like the “True-west is mighty strong”, I can’t help but wonder if you’re delusional, or that when we’re speaking of ‘the West’, we’re referring to completely different things.

    Meanwhile, I haven’t seen Dovid Miller in the Open Threads, or anywhere else in UR for some weeks now. He used to claim that he enjoyed the debate with us, but the reality is he was hurting badly, after being exposed time and again as someone not seeking out the truth, and being on the receiving end of one shellacking after another.

    Have you noticed the similarity of the words Schlok and Shellack? I guess the former deserves the latter. Maybe Davey is hurting having discovered that his wife is hanging out with Richard Gage learning about towers, explosions, and collapse.

    I agree with every word and concept he’s talking about.

    this quote

    The elite deciders believe they are no longer at the mercy of ‘old wives’ tales’ or constitutions. Like Joe Biden or Donald Trump, they think they can make up their own rules — as they go.

    made me think of Kipling’s The Gods of the Copybook Headings

    – for those unfamiliar:

    ‘The “copybook headings” refer to proverbs or maxims – extolling eternal virtues and wisdom, that were printed at the top of copybooks used by 19th-century British schoolchildren. ‘

    the copybook headings are the old wife’s tales, and the ‘Gods of the Market Place’ (incongruously to us ‘an-caps’), refers to the ‘wishes and fiats of the elites’.

    [MORE]

    As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
    I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
    Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

    We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
    That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
    But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
    So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

    We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
    Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
    But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
    That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

    With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
    They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
    They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
    So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

    When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

    On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
    (Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
    Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

    In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
    By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
    But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”

    Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
    And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
    That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

    As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
    There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
    That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
    And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

    And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
    When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
    As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
    The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

    We got East Indians and Pakistanis that hale from east Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), as the merchant transplant class there, hundreds of years ago, that then end up in Alberta some decades ago now. I suppose this group was part of the matrix that held some promise for such places. But it is complicated. Because the local native populations resented them.

    These people, though Muslim, like Canada, and the white Canadian people they find here, even though they find many of our customs consternating, … they do understand that we are both creative, as well as rather neotenous, but trying for pure hearts mostly, nevertheless, ….. and that is our way, …. finding pure heart through a neotenous genotypic/phenotypic avenue. So, … they tend to be both guarded but well-intentioned, towards us, because of this. Many of these people do understand the Jesus message, and that it is a message for neotenous people, and they therefore do not diss that but support that.

    True-west was always outward looking (i.e. – what do other pe0ple do and think?). It still is. That gives it great power.

    I wonder why that plump little Jewess, I forget her name, proudly announced through HIAS that at least 1000 rabbis signed a petition against limiting the number of refugees taken in from the Middle East by Europe/America?

    Her name is Rabbi Rachel Grant Meyer. She is the Director of Education at HIAS.

    Here’s her infamous performance gaslighting the dumb goyim…

    Rabbis: 1,200 Rabbis Agree to Open Borders & Migrants

    Same goes for that other plump Jewess, Barbara Roche, who says England is a country of non-English migrants, and always has been….

    Ah, yes, Barbara Roche!

    She, like Ron, thinks diversity is a strength as it makes her, and Ron, “just feel comfortable…”

    Excerpt from Tobias Langdon’s excellent 2016 article Roche Motel Revisited: The Comfort of an Atomized Society:

    Abolishing Britain
    What more need be said? On Planet Muir, that is the end of the matter. But Roche was happy to reveal her true feelings about “diversity”:

    Friday rush hour. Euston station [in London]. Who’s here? Who isn’t. A kaleidoscope of skin colours. The world in one terminus. Barbara Roche can see it over the rim of her cup of Americano coffee. “I love the diversity of London,” she tells me. “I just feel comfortable.” (Hideously Diverse Britain: The immigration ‘conspiracy’, The Guardian, 2nd March 2011)

    Why does Barbara Roche “love” an atomized society? Why does she feel “comfortable” there? I’d suggest that it’s because she doesn’t stand out as a minority and so doesn’t feel paranoid. In the stale pale Britain of the past, there were periodic outbreaks of inexplicable and irrational anti-Semitism, from the expulsion of Jews by Edward I in 1290 to the “pogrom” that swept the Welsh valleys in 1911.

    Barbara Roche obviously feels that such uncomfortable events are much less likely in an atomized Britain. As the late Larry Auster put it in an American context: “it is not surprising that these Jews look at mass Third-World and Moslem immigration, not as a danger to themselves, but as the ultimate guarantor of their own safety, hoping that in a racially diversified, de-Christianized America, the waning majority culture will lack the power, even if it still has the desire, to persecute Jews.”

That was a very gutsy thing to do. Stanford back then had many Jewish faculty members and students both undergraduate and graduate. Ron speculated in a comment that Dave’s article may have jeopardized his future career prospects. Maybe we can help him nurture that fighting spirit back to life again!

    You should bear in mind that the Muslim immigrant crisis was caused by the EU and NATO, which assaulted Libya Syria and of course Iraq and Afghanistan, without any justification. You are reaping the evil the Neocons and their EU stooges sowed.

    They’re rail all day long over the misogyny of white men who don’t want their teenage daughters to get their tits chopped off, …

    WHAT??? Where does this come from?

    I wonder, has this Rurik entity finally reached the proverbial jumping the shark moment now? What’s next? They’re bayoneting Belgian babies, oy vey…

    Those sinister Ay-rabs are cutting off girl’s titties….

    Yeah, right. Right there in Sweden, eh? Where are they cutting off the girls’ titties, I wonder? In the train stations, in the bus stations, in the woods near the bus or train station, in the public restrooms, maybe on cruise ships…

    You pathetic demented asshole, showing up here with this utter bullshit. Zionist bullshit as well, obviously. But really, WTF is this? Okay, it’s classic sort of war propaganda, like the bayoneting the babies (that the Zionists trotted out again fairly recently) but this stuff comes from somewhere, no? I don’t think this Rurik entity is quite imaginative enough to come up with this itself. Or maybe it is… I don’t really know for sure… The Tulips entity is probably some AI bot that generates this kind of garbage from a database of similar garbage…

    But I think “Rurik” actually is a person. I think this crap turns him on, which is why he’s always hijacking any topic and trying to get into this stuff. If there were snuff films available of this, or say, of Elin Krantz getting murdered, he’d be jacking off to it every night.

    But man, what a damned phony asshole, like this imposture that he’s so emotionally affected by something like the Elin Krantz case. It’s ridiculous really. It’s something that happened over a decade ago. We live in a world with 8 billion people and there are gruesome crimes going on every day. Heck, even a small sliver of them are happening in Sweden. But not much. It’s just pathetically phony. Like, O.J. Simpson died yesterday. It’s like he’d be there getting all hyper-emotional expressing all this pathos about Nicole Brown Simpson. Well, okay, it’s a terrible thing, but you never knew this person and in the 30 years since she was murdered, how many people have been murdered?

    I was thinking back to my early encounters with the Rurik entity and I do have to admit that I was taken in by his shtick initially, that he was so emotionally involved and passionate. Emotion sells, I guess. But finally when you realize how phony this is, like expressing all this pathos about one Swedish girl who was murdered well over a decade ago… Yes, it is a gruesome crime, but all this hyper-emotional stuff, it’s just a put-on. It’s phony.

    I think I reached a certain epiphany about the Rurik entity a bit less than a year ago. He was there saying that he just got back from a trip to Scandinavia. Nobody who just got back from a trip to Sweden or Norway or Denmark would ever say that. It’s just a dead giveaway. Along with the nonsense about how he saw the Muslims there (in “Scandinavia” LOL) “strutting like conquering generals”. It’s just some sort of weird talking point but it doesn’t make any sense. What does that even look like?

    But what a disgusting little creep. Out of curiosity, I just looked over his “output” on this very page. He (or it) has written over 79 comments comprising over 20 thousand words.

    Yes, a psychological problem indeed.

    It’s the day to day living of the Cassandra dilemma.

    Almost as a touchstone, the bigger the story, the more likely that it is utterly false! Plus, as soon as you see “who” is really pushing an explanation, the more certain you can be that it’s a lie. Real stories just “happen”, but false stories get pushed. Once you recognize that, you don’t even need to see the facts, you can just tell.

    As soon as I sense that “they” are trying too hard to sell me on something, I know they have an agenda, and that what they are selling me is at least bullshit, and quite often, the exact opposite of truth. Covid and it’s “vaccine”, The Ukraine, Oct 7th… all had “the stink” on them.

    What does the Liverpool Museum say? – For nearly four hundred years Europeans used Africans as enslaved labour for a variety of work throughout the Americas…..Between about 1500 and 1900, Europeans forcibly uprooted millions of people from throughout West Africa and West Central Africa and shipped them across the Atlantic in conditions of great cruelty – is that exactly accurate?

    Who said – No slave auctions on Saturday! – ?

    John Abrams; Justus Bosch; Henry Cruger; Jacob Franks; Mordacai and David Gomez; Isaac, Moses, and Sam Levy; Aaron Lopez; Jacob Phoenix; John and Jacob Roosevelt; Nathan Simpson; Jan de Sweets; and James and William de Woolf – I think these guys took Saturday off.

    The Muslim immigrant crisis is manufactured, and no one blames the Muslims for fleeing the mess in the Middle East, but why don’t other Muslim nations take them in? It’s almost as if Muslim nations prefer that millions of Muslims settle in western nations….

    Well, okay, I guess. I honestly thought you were ranting about crimes supposedly being committed by Muslim immigrants or refugees… Because that’s what we were talking about, no? I’m pretty sure that Muslims, generally speaking, are opposed to all this gender confusion stuff and all the LGBTQ stuff generally speaking.

    Well… not really that much. I’m mostly just annoyed at myself for taking so long to see through this “Rurik” persona. I must have interacted with this “Rurik” in discussions here of 9/11 and a few other things since 2015 or so and I really believed that this was a real person, and even somebody worth talking to. But I was a lot less aware of issues like controlled opposition back then.

    Now, I look at this and it’s so obviously just a phony troll account. This crap like “I just got back from a trip to Scandinavia.” It’s just such dead giveaway that one is talking to some kind of muppet. But that was less than a year ago. There were all kinds of dead giveaways before that. It’s not just the “Rurik” entity. Like this “niceland” claiming that he/she/it/they had read the NIST report on building 7 in its entirety AND “found it convincing”. Yeah, right. Or his statement that “PhysicistDave” had made some very solid, compelling arguments or whatever. I asked him what he was talking about. What solid arguments? No answer, of course.

    The ongoing phoniness competition from the troll accounts is a fierce competition. Some of your stuff is a strong contender, like your take on the infamous nose-out moment in the plane crash video not being some CGI blooper (which it obviously is). “Oh, no, it is
    obviously” debris shooting out the other side of the building in the exact shape of the nose of a plane.” Obviously. Yeah, right. You are obviously some kind of total shill. THAT is what’s obvious!

    Or somebody affecting that he’s so emotionally distraught by some senseless murder that happened in Sweden like 14 (!) years ago.

    What majestic phoniness! If you weren’t pretending to be an antisemite, you’d surely be getting all teary about poor Anne Frank. All that victimhood stuff is just a game.

    Why don’t you make another public apology to me, like you did before, groveling, punk’d by our host. ‘Sure, I’ll publish your idiotic article, you just have to genuflect and abase yourself to Rurik, for all to see.

    Well, that is a very very strange incident, you know. It must be the only time in all of the history of internet publishing that the editor of an e-zine has demanded that a published author issue an apology to one of the anonymous trolls that infest his website. The whole thing was basically a sick joke. I played along, in part, out of some morbid curiosity as to where that would lead.

    And it was hilarious at times. We had Unz (and an army of shills) affecting that there was nothing at all strange about the picture of Betty Ong in the high school yearbook being a black girl.

    Oh, nothing the least bit strange about that. Maybe she was black in her younger years.

    And not long after that, Unz expressed shock that he had just realized that my apology to the Rurik troll was insincere.

    Oh, I am so shocked. I just realized that that apology to the Rurik troll was not made sincerely! Oy vey!

    But you have had your moments of affirmation from Unz, I have to admit. Some months ago, he was citing “Rurik” as his authority on 9/11. Or one of them…. I was flabbergasted. Cripes. Why not cite Bugs Bunny or Donald Duck as your authority on 9/11 or something else???

    Well, that whole Betty Ong thing was about 6 years ago. It was half a year before Unz came out of the closet as a 9/11 Truther (of sorts).

    Oh, it’s been 17 years since 9/11 and I finally had a few moments to look into 9/11 and yaknow… it seems those Truthers have a point.

    17 years after the event. Good thing he has such a high IQ. Otherwise it would have taken him 30 or 40 years, I guess. Or 50 plus years, which is what it took him (and his newfound idol Jeffrey Sachs) to figure out that JFK was not killed by a lone nut.

    But things really seem to have reached maximal lunacy now. I just look at my participation on this page and it dawns on me that every last “person” I am interacting with here is some sort of troll account: “Rurik”, “Truth Vigilante”, “Tulips”, “niceland”, “Geokat62″… These are ALL just troll entities. Well, “Sparkon” seems to be a real person.

    One of the things that all these troll accounts have in common is that they all (including “Rurik”) affect to be totally anti-zionist. This “Truth Vigilante” adds to it this kind of moronic-level antisemitism, just accusing anybody of being ethnically Jewish because presumably that would discredit anything they say. But of course, “Truth Vigilante”, like “Rurik” is a Ziocon disinfo plant… and all the rest are too…

    “The Muslim immigrant crisis is manufactured, and no one blames the Muslims for fleeing the mess in the Middle East, but why don’t other Muslim nations take them in? It’s almost as if Muslim nations prefer that millions of Muslims settle in western nations…. ”

    Well, … the Muslim nation in the middle east most asseted with riches, as therefore the most natural Islamic benefactor, don’t want to share. That’s not the deal the House of Saud struck with the Wahhabists. The deal was, ….. the nation shall be deeply Islamic for evermore, (an Islamic beacon that way, I suppose?), but under the rule of the House of Saud, that control the wealth. And then this nation went on to form a two-tier system whereby non-citizens are constantly needed for various tasks and these non-citizen people are completely sub-par rights-wise (though if you are a western expert vs. an Asian ‘construction-slave-laborer-type’, you can expect much better, that way, … yet still, you better watch your behavior). So one then must assume the Wahhabists condone that two-tier action. So in effect, I do believe that this means that Saudi Arabia is also a deeply supremacist nation (which in fact is antithetical to the precepts of Islam). So they deal in fake Islam in Saudi Arabia, apparently.

    The regular population of Saudi Arabia, for the last couple of years, have been swamped with promises of huge and costly engineering projects that indeed are going ahead at a dizzying pace, ….. and the eye-candy works, ….. the regular population too, probably don’t really want to share (convinced they will be the ‘losers’ if they do). But of course the entiure Islamic world is also completely converged upon the truths of the triangulation featuring the American hegemonic brute, Jewish Wall Street banker types, and the petro-dollar scheme. I don’t think the House of Saud can continue on this way. Iran should now go after Israeli assets in Saudi Arabia, so as to force this issue into mainstream discussion among the peoples of Saudi Arabia and the entire Islamic region. There really isn’t as much of a grassroots Sunni/Shia divide among Islam than westerners tend to think. And most grassroots religious people from that part of the world, are religious, because they are fair-minded. Something is going to break in Saudi Arabia, I think.

    TipToe – you do realize, the House of Saud are deeply committed partners within this faux-west corporatist globalism, as 25% Jewish led, but probably with even more in-group influence than that, because said influence tends to be outsized wherever Jews congregate? The House of Saud, is part of the enemy, you could say, that is, if your are against this current of unfair type of globalism that is constantly being shoved down out throats. Obviously, the Whabbasists there, must be no good that way, too (though their control in the globalists circles is only very secondary and peripheral, … via the House of Saud).

    One thing we can say with certainty, going by the ‘off the charts’ level of mendacity he’s displayed in relation to the 9/11 False Flag, is that Dovid has gone over to the Dark Side.

    there are lots and lots of these types in the CIA and FBI and such.

    Also, if they’re dedicated Masons, this is exactly what you’d expect.

    Stanford reminds me of this type.

    Masons are conditioned with psyops that are tried and true, going back ages. They’re indoctrinated into a society with all kinds of cabalistic rites and occult-type rituals that has at its core, a Jewish martyr, Hiram Abiff- who must be protected from assorted goyim thugs who will kill him for his kabalistic secrets of Solomon’s temple.

    It’s all very creepy.

    I was invited to join once, and then set about learning a bit about it, and said ‘no thanks’.

    At the initiation ceremony, (I didn’t go, but found out about) – you disrobe, and are blindfolded and led into a room with some of the higher Masons all there. They put a noose around your neck, and recite some manner of cryptic sounding bullshit, and then stab you with some sharp object, gently, but enough to draw blood, and it’s all very carefully designed to make you feel like there’s this dark society that your now a part of. A ‘brotherhood’ of sorts, that appeals to a certain thing in the male psyche, I guess. And then you’re one of them. Now they introduce you to these secret handshakes and other shit like Tom Sawyer’s club, (if you’re ever read Huckleberry Finn). If you betray the brotherhood, we will kill you and all your relatives, blah, blah..

    It creates an army of goyim with lifelong loyalty to the Jewish martyr, basically.

    I suppose there are some good things about it, on the lower levels, like treating your ‘brothers’ with fairness, and so forth, but at the higher levels, it’s very dark.

    And these guys never break their bonds with the brotherhood. That’s what Stanford sort of reminds me of. These goyim like the CIA spooks who can never leave the ‘organization’. It’s life-long.

    As a result, he’s (((their))) poodle on a leash.

    exactly

    and there is a secret army of these guys all over America and the West, and they all work to advance each other. That’s another huge part of it. In fact, that’s what I’d call the main motivating thing that keeps them all in line. They all know that their fortunes, (to one degree or another) now depend on their fealty to the ‘brotherhood’.

    “obviously” debris shooting out the other side of the building in the exact shape of the nose of a plane.”

    did you even look at the link?

    emotionally distraught by some senseless murder that happened in Sweden like 14 (!) years ago.

    not emotionally distraught, but disgusted, that the orc was even in the country, and that he only got sixteen years, for a crime so henious as to be off the charts.

    What the fuck is wrong with Sweden?!

    But we all know, don’t we.

    And if her death was an aberration or anomaly, then I wouldn’t be too worried about it. But it isn’t. Orcs are raping Western women and girls, (and even boys, ‘I had a sexual emergency’) – (often murdering them as well), and for a lot of ((people)), they seem to think this is ‘worth it’ for some ‘greater good’ of genociding the people of the West, off the planet.

    The natural beauty of the Swedish people is hurtful to some others, and it’s like that evil queen from the fairly tale, if there’s someone more fair, kill them, and then I’ll be the fairest of the land!

    ‘I want them goyisha shiksas to get gang raped and impregnated by my black brothers, then I’ll be the fairest of the land!’

    all teary about poor Anne Frank.

    for all the hysteria, lies and calumny ((directed)) at the ‘Nazis’ over the generations, I don’t know of one single crime, that even comes close to being as heinous as the rape and murder of Ellen Krantz. And yet we’re all supposed to be aghast at the ‘evil’ of the Nazis, because they killed some Jewish communists, and dismiss as a nothing burger the horror of Ellen Krantz. If Anne Frank was murdered in such a way, I can promise you I’d want the Nazi orc who did it, to twitch on a poll.

    the editor of an e-zine has demanded that a published author issue an apology

    I dismissed it at the time, but I figured I’d bring it up, because your conduct of late has been so over-the-top obnoxious, that it was fun, (and I figured appropriate) to rub your face in it.

    But you have had your moments of affirmation from Unz

    There was one in particular, (which I won’t mention) but I was honored and humbled when Mr. Unz cited an observation of mine in an article of his. I felt that as much as he’s put up with my antics over the years, at least there was one time when I at least contributed something of merit to his wonderful site. It was a good feeling.

    Well, “Sparkon” seems to be a real person.

    because he’s the only one who agrees with you, you solipsistic idiot.

    One of the things that all these troll accounts have in common is that they all (including “Rurik”) affect to be totally anti-zionist.

    I’m not ‘affecting’ it, I totally fucking am.

    And so is everyone else with a shed of human decency.

    There may have been a time when advocating for a Jewish homeland had merit. And while mass-murdering and terrorizing and stealing that land from others, was never a legitimate way to accomplish it, in theory, it’s always been my philosophy that all peoples are entitled to self-determination.

    But there’s something about Zionist Jews, (or Jewish supremacists, as opposed to otherwise perfectly decent people who happen to be Jews), that is a big problem.

    OJ’s pseudo confession:
    https://people.com/the-story-of-oj-simpsons-book-if-i-did-it-8630142

    OJ wore #32 which is LeV or Heart in Hebrew gematria. He was the heart of America the dream of equal opportunity for all. His downfall helped to shatter the American Dream and within a few short years we had the 9/11 Zionist false flag, endless wars, the national security state, and global hatred for America and its Zionist masters.

    OJ was a cripple as a child, suffering from rickets. He wore leg braces. He attributes his transformation (like the young Forest Gump) to the prayers of his grandmother, who was a devout Christian. Hopefully he is with her now in heaven:

    OJ married his high school sweetheart while in USC. She was a beautiful black woman who attended his trial almost every day and sat right behind him. In an interview she was asked if OJ ever acted violently towards her. She laughed and said “No. If he had I would have hit him with a frying pan upside his head!” She was the kind of woman he needed. Drugs money fame Hollywood divorce and marrying a white floozy was his undoing.

    Rosie Greer visited him in prison during his infamous trial and urged him to give his life to Christ. OJ resisted. Too bad. He needed a tough black Minister to help him feel fear of God.

    We can only pray Dave Miller won’t end up like OJ: a once great man who fell to ruins. Amen.

    I do not agree at all about your assessment of PhysicistDave (I don’t see any inkling of anything like that, from Dave …. more or less just too, perhaps congenitally – like an inborn disposition, disagreeable for his own good, perhaps, but for which said trait is valuable in other ways though, suitable for some particular very bright younger man, let’s say, … which it seems Dave was extremely stand-out that way). I think we should give Dave a break. I imagine it is hard to be Dave, with his mix of cognitive assets (is going to tend to see it like it is fools around him always). Perhaps it is that Dave is simply struggling with social issues, that he is misreading (we can’t all be psychos, for instance, just because we somehow got involved in speculating upon conspiracy theories, … albeit sometimes poorly …. i.e. – we all make mistakes and a guy like Dave tends to abhor errors). His claims about his personal intellect and achievement that way, … I don’t see any reason to discount any of that, at all. We can use big-brained guys here. Just saying. But Dave did not apply his intellect, around the discussion with us, very well, it’s true (instead knee-jerked towards frustration about 99% of the time, and then, due to that constant rather cynical action, went on to change his mind about ‘dumb’, and that instead it was about ‘psychos’). Maybe he will come back but in better form? That would be good.

    Anyways, … just wanted to clarify on that before I weigh in on your very interesting blockquote, noted above. I can also add that on the western occult front outside of Masonry, that yes it too is indeed dictated by the prior Jewish mysticism, …. what is known as the western occult tradition (as sponsored by the likes of Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, Mathers, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and others, …. was all about that prior Jewish mysticism), …. and also was just the craziest stuff, ….. like for instance, among their spiritual shenanigans, it looks like Crowley thought that he had an illegitimate daughter known as Barbara Bush, with Barbara’s Mom, as conducted in an extremely bizarre occult ceremony to instill Satan’s seed, as Crowley’s transmogrified seed, impregnating Barbara Bush’s Mom. Crazy – huh? I think there is probably more going on, under the covers, occult-wise, within these faux-west corporatist circles, than we may know. That is very possible and I continue to keep my eye out.

    Just noticed this one peculiar aspect of the Ellen Krantz tragedy I wanted to highlight…

    Excerpt from Who Was Ellen Krantz?:

    The biggest irony of it all is that Elin Krantz, who fell for the propaganda of “tolerance” and diversity, was a supporter of multiculturalism in Sweden. She was supposedly a member of the Facebook group “We Like Diversity”, called herself “multicultural” and supported immigration of people from the third-world countries into Sweden.

    Only degenerate scumbags would try and minimize the impact open borders have had on European and European-derived homelands.

    As the article states, the dumb shiksa “fell for the propaganda of ‘tolerance’ and diversity, was a supporter of multiculturalism…”

    In the eyes of our eternal enemy, Jewish Supremacists, she was a Freier, Yiddish for “sucker.”

    I’ll let this Jewish website elaborate:

    Freier is a key concept in understanding Israeli society and psyche. It is best translated as mug or sucker. The freier is the one who waits patiently in line at the supermarket and would not dream of leaving his trolley to zip around the aisles for the last few vital items.

    I do not agree at all about your assessment of PhysicistDave…

    I happened to glance at this thread and noticed some discussion of “PhysicistDave” and why he seems to have gone silent. I checked and his comments here were his last on this entire website since March 24th.

    I strongly suspect that the reason for his sudden disappearance was the last response I’d posted to him, which included this passage:

    Murray was also a careful scholar. And the evidence presented by the Holocaust denialists is, at best, murky.

    Well, there was supposedly lots of Rothbard’s private correspondence from the late 1960s and 1970s with leading Holocaust Deniers, encouraging their efforts and strategizing about how they could best succeed in getting their message out and overturning the existing narrative. Rothbard was a very influential figure at REASON magazine when it published an entire issue filled with articles by the leading Holocaust Deniers. That last discovery was what originally prompted my big 2018 Holocaust Denial article:

    https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-holocaust-denial/

    I really think the evidence regarding Rothbard seems pretty strong.

    Murray Rothbard, the founding father of modern libertarianism, was one of his old friends. I think PhysicistDave may have been stunned by the strong evidence that Rothbard had long been a Holocaust Denier, and perhaps that convinced PhysicistDave to finally give serious consideration to that possibility by reading my long article and the other material I’d previously suggested to him.

    If he found some of it convincing, he may require quite a while to digest such a massive shift in his entire world view. But once one such gigantic shift has occurred, others become much easier. So it’s possible that if and when he returns, he may be much more open to controversial theories regarding 9/11, the JFK assassination, and other historical events.

    Well, … I guess my experience with the many interactions I had with Dave, though very consternating for me (Dave disagrees too much, and as such, generates wanted hostility), …. I never found Dave to be insincere when he was acting out asshole-like, I am quite sure, he was being sincere in that way, just as he would later claim. Look, … I know people like this, ….. very very disagreeable, … but that are still good-hearted men. These guys are complicated. It is a thing irl. So no, … I never felt Dave was lying to me, ever, in any of the interactions, as far as I can recall, … so I gotta go with what I know best, first of all, and second of all, …. the one main thing that johnny come lately (me, … I wasn’t hanging again here, from time to time, in these threads, until very recently) notices here, … is that there is a huge animosity generated over the physics of free fall vs. not. vs. what is a demolition classified as in that respect?, and that the discussion with Dave never even got to the point of discussing the evidentiary hallmarks differentiating those 3 possibilities, whether this could be meaningfully observed or not, and what that then means as to the overall picture. So, …. to me, once I got here again just recently, ……. I think just near the end of thread #8, …. but also I was here I think it was probably near the beginning in one of the earlier threads for just a bit, I weighed-in here, because I had an arcane physics question for Dave (which in the end, he graciously did point me towards the way to the answer to my query), …. I could see it was same old same old with Dave. I get it. He calls you (us all) names and so you get to call him names. I am just saying TV (and sorry again for mistakenly typing VD before there, … pretty funny all round because somehow I did that in error), …. I know guys just like this irl. It isn’t going to work, like that. Us white men, we all have our sadistic bent, it seems in one way or the other. And we are creative as all get out. Well, there it is for Dave, …. he grovels in the name-calling dude, …. and sincerely admits it, …. it is a thing. But then, … I got my own sadistic bent I suppose, don’t I, as a white man? Usually this is all sorted out in the schoolyard. or the back alley, or wherever young boys congregate and try hard to dominate one another. I suppose Dave, the very young lad let’s say, was so sharp and could dominate with words (irl that is) because he finds out and then mercilessly exploits the psychological weaknesses of the other boys. But it all gets sorted out in these childhood conflicts and we grow up. But then, …. look, it’s true, Caucasians tend towards neoteny, ….. I think maybe we might developmentally throwback here and there, to see what is what, …. creative little monsters, us. Not sure why you want to feed Dave’s throwback addiction of the moment (year?decade?), because ti seems not to be working so good for him, right now, …. maybe he is in a psychological loop?

    Also, … just to be clear, … upon for first interaction with Dave over the arcane physics question, way back months and months ago now, ……. the way Dave parrys one’s physics questions, …. Dave is basically seeming to be claiming that he has very subtle (but sublime) mathematical insights that he cannot put into words, …. and to know, …. you must too do the math. As well, he disagrees about laymen understanding on some mathematical terms (even when these are controversial within field …. such as Cantorian notions of the infinite), …. suppose Dave is correct, ….. the language vocabulary does not exist to expound meaningfully upon his mathematical insights (look, ….. I think we all, almost instinctively, know that mathematical insights are mind blowing, ….. truly are sublime and hard to put into words, … its the extensive ramifications of a new mathematical insight, each one I have had has been that way for me, ….. for goodness sakes I remember it was that way right from the very beginning, …I remember my older brother teaching me how to count to twenty when I was just a wee boy and I was just over the moon once I gleaned what it was all about, in the moment, suddenly filled with miraculous new insights, … just suddenly raining down upon you like heaven speaking).

    Maybe Dave is the man that can find the words. Maybe he can work to bring us all bounty whilst working on his diasagreeableness (not really befitting an older mature man), by way of the personal psychological exercise, of finding the words. Maybe that is the new chapter in Dave’s life. Maybe we should be cheering Dave on.

    He was a great man BEFORE he murdered her (if he did).

    My concluding words were pretty clear:

    We can only pray Dave Miller won’t end up like OJ: a once great man who fell to ruins. Amen.

    And yes black men need strong figures to moderate their potentially dangerous behavior, including black wives and black pastors. OJ had none of that in Hollywood. Only sex drugs rocknroll scandal divorce and murder (maybe).

    Good detailed article. But even this news source is mute on the very obvious petro-dollar angle just staring everyone in the face. It’s pretty obvious that that is the precise quandary that the Arab princedom’s find themselves in. But according to the article, it appears they are wising up sooner instead of later, and may be about to abandon the petro-dollar scheme (that is the unsaid implication of them forcing the Americans out of the airspace around those American bases). Wow. Let’s see. Those Arab prince guys are not dumb. Maybe they will even prevail, and trump Israel now, as the new prime supremacist partner in the globalist cabal ( I mean, that would be the wise move for the other cabal members, to go that way now, except that it is near certain that the massive Jewish-designed derivatives market, is actually a Trojan Horse, …. a financial Sampson Option, … so there is that to consider, ….maybe we should be looking at the derivatives melt down that occurred in 2007 – 2208 in a different, deeper, light), ….. just like it is probably worthwhile to look at 9/11 as a probable Israeli double-cross of the other so-called junior petrodollar partner, …. the House of Saud.

    Mevashir/Michael Korn/Anon/Sybil/? – with all due respect, I’m beginning to sense a split personality.

    consider popular figures like bush rumsfeld cheney condoleezza Rice Madeline Albright Obama and now biden.

    And, BiBi, Stalin, Bela, Kaganovich, FDR, Genghis, Mugabe, on and on. Is/was OJ within this realm? Are we comparing local behaviors or individuals acting on or with political authority/agendas/ideology?

    Speaking of local behaviors, if one travels to Africa, as a student to shadow vets at a game reserve, one is prohibited from leaving a secured space, or wandering about the airport in Johannesburg; one must leave the airport under escort by armed security guards/police; and any guess about the first required destination? That’s right – the Apartheid Museum. How the irony escapes these people, I will never understand.

    Sybil wrote, after a bit of pushback (with all due respect): Right. I am familiar with these claims. When I attended Jewish Sunday School classes as a child, their main emphasis was on Jewish success in the New World. They spoke about the large Jewish presence in the Caribbean but never told us it was due to slaving. Same thing when my father visited the Caribbean some years ago and excitedly told me about the synagogues he had discovered there. I asked him if he knew the Jews living there were heavily involved in the African Slave Trade and he vehemently denied it. Most American Jews are the products of heavy brainwashing and indoctrination by the Jewish establishment. That’s why all Jewish religious leaders should be expelled from the USA. And all other Jews forced to take a loyalty oath renouncing any support for Zionism.

    Why didn’t you just say/write this in the first place?

    Do you stand behind your recent assertion that white people blame Jews unjustly for the African slave trade into the Americas? Or, maybe you/they are unaware of that recent post?

    This is the inherent problem; believing what you’re told rather than what you see/observe, or what your instincts tell you.

    Had I been alone on that train, with such a man, I would have hit the ground running. Pava LaPere, in Baltimore, died because she was trained to believe there are no biological drivers for behaviors. Of course, I would not open the door for a shabby, tattoo-faced stranger, regardless of race.

    There is another thread on the fate of a 14 year old boy, who was killed for trying to defend his girlfriend from a group of blacks who were behaving inappropriately. Not to disparage this young man, but he looked more like a 10-year-old, and clearly, NO ONE is informing our white youth on what they will be dealing with in fending off local blacks. They are feral, which is why they often kill when in conflict. That young boy, brave as he was, had no business squaring off against a pack of hyenas.

    Exactly. Our eternal enemy’s children have been continually suckling on the hatred of the goyim with his/her mother’s milk for the last two millennia.

    Our children, by contrast, have been raised to believe the world has finally been cleansed of all predators. All the wolves and hyaenas have been transformed into herbivores.

    This has got to change. The sooner, the better. And the increasing number of rapes and murders will bring about this change, notwithstanding all the efforts of the degenerate scumbags who are desperately trying to prevent our people from waking up to the reality that homogeneity is truly our strength and diversity is the strength of our eternal enemy, i.e., Jewish Supremacists.

    It’s good that you ended with ‘if he did it’, because this case is not as cut and dried as many believe.
    UR readers should have a look at the following video titled ‘OJ Simpson Is Innocent | Concrete Proof His Son Did It (The Overlooked Suspect)’:

    O’J’s son (Jason) had the motive, means and opportunity to commit the crime, and he did.
    And he had one hell of a motive. Jason resented Nicole for breaking up the marriage between his mother and father, and after being diagnosed as bipolar, had stopped taking his medication.

    I can’t locate it at this point, but for those of you that don’t have the time to watch the 81 min video above, there’s much shorter video from Owen Benjamin explaining much more succinctly why Jason Simpson was guilty.

    I have another thing going on locally. I am explaining to a group of young conservatives on the web that Venezuelan socialism is indeed contagious and it’s going to spread fast from this group of immigrants and will likely have dire consequences in our politics for years to come. I am slowly working them, they are still trying to act cool about it but doubts are creeping in…

    Well, the Venezuelan emigres are almost certainly preponderantly right-wingers. So, for people coming from that sort of angle, their presence in Iceland would be desirable. But that doesn’t matter much, I suppose, when one is not terribly constrained by actual facts….

    The real problem here is that you don’t have any babies in the stories. Babies are the best thing really. You need to scream that these Venezuelans are bayoneting Icelandic babies. Well, the problem with that is not so much that it’s not true (which I doubt is much of an issue for you) but it lacks alliteration, like the “bayoneting Belgian babies” has.

    So, it should be that these Venezuelans are incinerating Icelandic infants. They incinerated Icelandic infants that were in an incubator… Admittedly, if the conversation is in the Icelandic language, then it is unlikely that these things have alliteration like in English. But these are just general considerations anyway. Bring some babies into the story. Babies sell. At least when it comes to propaganda narratives.

    And some raping too. Sure, why not? Tell them that raping is the national pastime over there in Venezuela… By all means, have fun. Do it for me. I personally can’t do any of this because I am morally constrained to be truthful, but without any such constraints, you can have lots of fun. Say anything. Sweden is the raping capital of the world. That’s a pretty big whopper but maybe you can outdo that. You’re probably an imaginative guy.

    That was an interesting video; I had heard a few rumblings a couple of years after the incident that his son was likely the culprit.

    To weigh in on the issue of OJ’s character – he was a good ball player. A good man? Perhaps he was a decent man at one time. Nicole? An 18 year old woman understands the impropriety of entangling with a married man with young children. I recall an interview with her sister, who described Nicole as a “doer.” Yes, it’s easy to do whatever you want when you’re handed everything on a silver platter. Ali was correct when he said, “a white woman could never understand me the way a black woman could,” and it’s absolutely certain, in my opinion, that OJ’s first wife would have kept him grounded. Nicole was after the money/status, and she paid the toll.

    Moving on to White Australia –

    Mass Stabbing at Sydney, Australia Mall; Knifeman Shot Dead by Policewoman, 2024

    The Jewish war on White Australia: refugee policy and the African crime plague
    by Brenton Sanderson
    “IN 2005, Andrew Fraser, then Associate Professor of Public Law at Macquarie University in Sydney, wrote a letter to his local newspaper warning that “experience practically everywhere in the world tells us that an expanding black population is a sure-fire recipe for increases in crime, violence and a wide range of other social problems.” Following publication, Jewish lawyers George Newhouse, David Knoll (then president of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies) and Anna Katzmann submitted a complaint to Australia’s Human Rights Commission on behalf of the General Secretary of the Sudanese Darfurian Union. They argued that Fraser had breached Section 18C of Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act and demanded he publish an acknowledgement that he had engaged in “unlawful conduct” and unreservedly apologize “for the hurt thereby caused to the Sudanese people who live in the Parramatta-Blacktown area, promising not to repeat such conduct and retracting on the public record all of the imputations.”
    […]
    “A decade after his ominous warning on the dangers of African immigration, Fraser has, not surprisingly, been totally vindicated.
    The country is in the grip of an African crime plague that has shocked people in its scale and savagery. While African gang violence has been a problem for many years, news of its horrifying extent has been routinely suppressed by politicians and the mainstream media. In March, however, this studied silence was shattered when members of the Sudanese-based “Apex” gang were responsible for a vicious riot which left the streets of Melbourne completely trashed. The riots broke out when “About 200 youths of the Apex and Islander 23 gangs stormed Federation Square chanting ‘fuck the police,’ before gang members started beating and punching each other.” During the riots,
    “People dining in City Square ran for their lives as gang members used cafe chairs as weapons, running riot from Federation Square to City Square.””
    The end.

    It’s happening everywhere in western nations, and at least Australia has Pauline Hanson.

    It appears Iran here, is being very strikingly strategic, yet measured nevertheless, in it’s escalation-game (i.e. – think it through, … Iran has been the party for decades now, consistently saying precisely this to the faux-west corporatist globalist group I have long referenced in threads here: – “no, no, no, no”). The way the leadership of Iran looks at this, is that they are not the party that has escalated, ever, ….. instead they have been the party that has repetitively said ‘no’ whence the other party crossed some lines. Yet they still must play the escalation game, because the other party insists, now. They see this. And as such they see this forced escalation-game as a strategic opportunity. This is very very interesting, how this is unfolding. Which side are the petro-dollar princes now on? Nobody seems to know.

    Pretty bad, last I heard. The indigenous people there live in conditions that most Haitians would be appalled by.

    Re: ‘the Sudanese people who live in the Parramatta-Blacktown area’, that’s in Sydney’s west (about 25-30 km from where I am). To the extent that Sydney got Sudanese, it’s not that many and, for the most part, they’ve been pretty well behaved.
    As for ‘Federation Square’ that’s in Melbourne, a city that got disproportionately more Sudanese.
    My understanding is that Sudanese in that town have been more disruptive (ie: petty crime, delinquent youths getting up to mischief). But as far as rape culture or anything like that, I’m not aware that anything like that is going on by the Sudanese).

    As for the stabbing in Sydney today (in a shopping mall about 10-12 km from where I live – a part of town that has the highest concentration of Jews in the whole state), the last I heard is that the guy that went on the rampage was himself Jewish*.
    I’m not aware of the names/racial make up of those that were murdered, but it would be interesting to know if any of them were themselves Jewish, seeing as Jews frequent that particular mall in great numbers.

    I suppose that error is evidence that you are not a chatbot as Jonathan Revusky keeps accusing you of being.

    Actually, I never said that the Rurik entity was literally an AI bot. I don’t think it is. My best guess is that this is just a troll account that does have a human (using the term “human” loosely) behind it.

    Well, I did point out that the Rurik entity does say some weird things, like “I just got back from Scandinavia” that a normal person would basically never say. But that, to me, is more akin to these phony crisis actor clips that you can see on youtube (or you used to be able to see them…) where these people repeat very strange talking points. But those obviously aren’t bots. Not literally. They are robotically repeating talking points though.

    The troll account that I really do suspect (though am hardly sure) of being an AI bot is this Tulips entity. It’s maybe not all or nothing because they could use a bot to generate reams of text and then look it over and do a bit of post-editing at times. I now think a lot of the flood of pro-Ukraine stuff on social media in the aftermath of the Russian invasion was probably bot-generated. After all, how many people in the U.S. or even the West generally really knew there was a country called Ukraine. At most they were very vaguely aware of it. Probably most people, if you told them that Ukraine was just part of Russia would have believed you. That was my sense of things in Spain, so it was very surprising this (apparent) groundswell of support for Ukraine. And, of course, a lot of the messages have suspiciously repetitive wording.

    I was trying to research this incident. Mikael was not Swedish, at least not in the sense of being an ethnic Swede. He was Polish apparently. Mikael Janicki. But that is not so important, I suppose.

    It is a rather strange incident. Criminal gangs, as far as I can tell, do not just shoot members of the general public for basically no reason like that. I think the most typical case is that an innocent bystander on occasion catches a stray bullet. I mean, when rival gangs are shooting at one another, or drive-by shootings. But of course, drive-by’s are something that mostly happens in the USA, no?

    But anyway, here is something strange about Mikael Janicki. He seems to have a Doppelganger. A Turkish politician by the name of Uğur Poyraz. See here: https://www.google.com/search?q=u%C4%9Fur+poyraz&sca_esv=680539003ac6d285&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn0_42Jt12AFIoaal9IFjGvttCiUAuA%3A1712907375294&source=hp&biw=1457&bih=850&ei=b-QYZvDWD5WlkdUP4p24iAo&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZhjyfzagY_SxzGPW_DBrOygH9GW3Ofdq&oq=Ugur+Poyraz&gs_lp=EgNpbWciC1VndXIgUG95cmF6KgIIADIFEAAYgARI6CpQ2wNYxRlwAngAkAEAmAG0AaAB_geqAQQxMS4xuAEByAEA-AEBigILZ3dzLXdpei1pbWeYAg2gAq8IqAIAwgIEEAAYHsICBhAAGAgYHsICBxAAGIAEGBiYAwOSBwQxMi4xoAfJKg&sclient=img

    The thing is, …. the dudes speak the truth, ….’it’s hard out here for a pimp’. From his perspective, that’s true. It’s the weirdest niche. Almost no man is capable of this kind of action without messing up his head (but it helps if the guy is not genetically predisposed to ‘tolerate girly-mode’, .. like Caucasians, generally). Look, … the western ‘girly-mode’ and ‘hoeing’, don’t really mix that well at all, producing disordered women. Western women are naive in the extreme, generally, .. and that condition appears to be congenital. Western women need harsh men that they can genuinely pretend are not harsh, … they need to delude themselves around this (the neoteny and all), …. and the root stock of Caucasian men as shaped by Darwinian sexual selection pressures, as dictated by female ‘desire’, … is an exact fit, pretty much, to that particular Caucasian neotenous female need. And then, when other men are around, that don’t have the disposition to ‘tolerate girly-mode’, … this all throws the western women for a loop, … because here are harsh guys (these black pimps then) that aren’t gentle with women, … so isn’t that the dominant guy then, they innocently think? It’s fucked up. Like an accident of genetics. But I have confidence that our western women will figure it out (they excel at emotional sophistication, ….a neotenous avenue, ….. but a worthy one, …. western women indeed are no slouches at all, around precisely this, and perhaps are the most emotionally intuitive women of all).

    It’s an interesting topic, all round, but not sure what it has to do with Dave.

    “Venezuelan socialism” is not contagious. Venezuelan refugees are mostly very poor people who didn’t manage to scrape a living in their home country. I doubt they will paint a positive picture of it, let alone be mouthpieces for its regime.
    On the other hand, very poor people may indeed be supporters of leftist policies; however, those policies will probably bear little resemblance with what goes on in Venezuela.
    The above holds true even if one thinks that the Venezuelan government has no fault in the problems of Venezuela, which in that case would be due to U.S. sanctions or some other factor. Even though the truth is possibly somewhere in the middle of those two hypotheses, it should be noted that the anti-West bloc must have a lot less economic power than the Western bloc if all it takes for a country to sink in abject misery is that the U.S. establishes economic sanctions on it. Otherwise, China and its allies would be able to step in and help those countries in the same way that the U.S. was supposedly helping them merely by imposing no restriction on trade with them.

    Yes, you explained once when I expressed confusion over with whom I was corresponding.

    I asked you why does he censor you? You didn’t answer. Why does he censor you?

    My beef with Colin [Wrong] is that there are many nefarious criminals and mass murderers roaming the corridors of power, still respected and recipients of endless accolades by an equally corrupt stupid and undiscerning media

    Colleen never learns his lessons; he gets his face slapped with gloves constantly, yet he keeps on straddling.

    Yes, exactly – the powerful/elite criminals get away with their crimes because they control the levers of power; the media; and sometimes justice, or the lack thereof really, can be purchased. Those who commit crimes on local levels, like the looters, car-jackers, drug dealers, wife beaters, etc., usually come under prosecution. That said, I think O.J. managed to avoid arrest or incarceration for abusing Nicole, and these days, local criminality goes largely unpunished due to Equity. It does seem that certain demographics exponentially rise to the occasion once the jackboots are removed from their necks.

    What O.J. did was signify that money, power, success, acceptance, etc., is not the primary reason Whites commit less violent crime than blacks. Maybe. It’s a stretch…I think domestic violence is more common amongst all groups than street crime. O.J.’s son is a better representation of the truth of regression to the mean.

    That’s my only point.

    of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
    You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung
    High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
    I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
    My eager craft through footless halls of air ….

    Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
    I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark nor ever eagle flew-
    And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of
    God.

    The post you are replying to was just a meaningless silly joke as response to Revusky’s comment to me. I took it as sarcasm.

    My main problem with this immigration from Venezuela is with my own government who ‘accidentally’ allowed this to happen, only to turn around few years later trying to reverse the process. That’s hardly good governance or sensible use of public funds. I seriously doubt it was good for, or had positive influence on the poor people who took the trip to Iceland either, only to be sent back. That’s cruel. However some group of Venezuelans will get permanent resident and are likely much better off. Perhaps they won the lottery, I don’t know enough about the situation in Venezuela to judge. According to the U.S. government and the MSM it’s not good. According to some Icelandic right wingers it’s horrible because they are ‘communists’. But according to them, so is China. Needless to day I don’t place much weight on such info.

    These two videos are very damning against OJ.

    I suggest you very carefully listen to the few minutes from 11:35-14:100 in that second video of yours titled ‘What if Jason did it?’, and see for yourself why Jason Simpson is the far more likely culprit.
    Here’s my take on it:

    1) Jason kills Nicole and Goldman. He then tell O.J who tries to cover for him (the blood in the Ford Bronco is from Jason when his dad picks him up and/or places bloody objects from the crime scene inside the car).

    2) O.J immediately hires a top attorney to cover for his son. (Just think about that ONE FACT alone. Why the eff would O.J do that if his son was innocent?).

    3) The so called ‘evidence’ says that there are ‘genetic markers’ at the scene that link to O.J’s blood, as opposed to saying that it was 100% proven to be O.J’s blood found there.
    The fact is that O.J’s son had blood with the SAME genetic markers as his dad.

    Regarding your other questions from comment # 935, Jason Simpson was one big strong boy, aged in his 20’s from memory. He had plenty of physical strength.
    As far as I’m aware, the LAPD made no serious attempt to investigate Jason. They were obviously after the big fish of O.J.

    SUMMARY: After Jason told his dad that he had committed the murders, it appears to me that O.J deliberately tried to shift the blame to himself and engage in activities that would reinforce that belief to the police and the general public that he was the murderer and not his son. (eg: like the car chase on the 405 with the Ford Bronco).

    BTW, in relation to your question about the guy in Sydney who want on a stabbing murder rampage, some media entities here that still want to be ‘technically correct’ and not actually lie about the identity of the assailant, are describing him as being ‘Middle Eastern’ (much like the 5 Dancing Shlomos on 9/11 were also described – to purposely give the false impression that they were Arab terrorists).

    You asked if the Oz authorities were likely to cover it up.
    Answer: Who knows? They’re corrupt enough so I wouldn’t put it past them. We’ll just have to see how it plays out. (Hopefully there are enough white hats out there that will see to it that the truth come out in the end).

    Pretty sure I insinuated I don’t identify (I got the Caucasian thing, … I fall for girly-mode like pret near every other Caucasian man). But TipToe, … on the black cultural offerings, ….. you seem shocked for some reason, …. which is a bit surprising (it’s just prose and rhythm), …. so hey, what says you about the grand maestro of rhythm … whose grooves have settled everywhere in our music-scape:

    I like dude. Warts and all (and of course Pavarotti too, … his tenor tone is magnificent. Bravo. Bravo to our Godfather of Soul, AMERICA’S Mr. James Brown, too).

    What about this magnificent collaboration?:

    Black people got stuff going on, culture/creative-wise, we don’t so much. The Rolling Stones (Keith Richards in particular) became obsessed. The Beatles too. In fact there is an entire genre of magnificent blue-eyed soul that emanated for Britain in the 1960’s (when my young brain heard it too, now spoon-fed to me by these Caucasian creative geniuses sieving it through this new rock and roll modality, and was wowed like crazy, … the early Ed Sullivan appearances got to me, just like everyone else in my Grandad’s living room – the whole clan sitting there watching on Sunday nights after dinner, even my upright Yorkshireman grandfather, who was in his 70’s at the time, just loved the Beatles … he saw them as very good natured lads that well-represented British life).

    America made rock and roll (and Britain helped) and it is magnificent. It all started with Appalachian whites sharing their Scots Irish folk music, with black people who were sharing their more rhythmic folk music. We got the American musical genres from there. You like Blue Grass, like the beautiful high-tenor of the great Bill Monroe, or more recent the great Blue Grass harmonizer – Alison Krauss (like I do, but I like a whole lot of musical genres)? … guess what, … it’s got black influence.

    One of the reasons western culture is great is because the root western people, Caucasians, are collaborative, and get juiced by novel collaboration.

    If you really are interested in ‘pimp life’, you could seek out vids widely available, where these pimps explain it all. Like I said, …. that is a rare man indeed, that can do that gig, and not mess up his head. The pimps will explain to you why that is. It is pretty much for the reason I already gave (her girly-mode is a thing he understands she must do, but that is not to become his problem, is the vibe he instills, …. even among black men, a guy can’t really do that pimp gig, without getting turned inside out himself, without mentorship, .. this pimping gig runs in families and such …. there is a whole psychology to it).

    I think you’re a relative newcomer here and I hate to waste my time on this nonsense, but I suppose I should. He’s basically a mentally ill individual who’s loudly declared at least a dozen times that he’s permanently departing this website. For example, here’s my reply to one of his comments back in early February 2023:

    I’ve said it numerous times in the past that I will hang up my cleats and stop commenting here. And I am repeating that resolution now.

    Look, I think you’ve described yourself as a Jew who has been diagnosed with clinical mental illness.

    You really contribute absolutely nothing useful to this website and you’ve repeatedly denounced it as a fraud and a honey-pot designed to mislead and deceive the commenters who participate.

    Therefore, you have repeatedly said that you are departing and will permanently end your commenting, a decision I would wholeheartened endorse. Lots of other commenters have also denounced this website in similar fashion, and perhaps they too will also depart for similar reasons.

    I’m reluctant to ban people and arrange to have all their future comments trashed, but perhaps I should start doing so.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/vaxxing-risks-for-the-elderly/?showcomments#comment-5804033

    On a number of occasions, he’s declared that this website is run by Mossad and the CIA, used to capture the IP addresses of all the commenters, so that they can then be rounded up and arrested or assassinated. That’s the reason he keeps saying he’ll leave.

    Anyway, I’ve been trying to get rid of him for at least a couple of years now, and I suppose I should start cracking down a little more and helping him honor his repeated declaration that he’s permanently departing.

    Frankly, I’d prefer that lots of the other crazy commenters would do the same as well.

    https://au.news.yahoo.com/westfield-bondi-junction-stabbing-knifeman-identified-as-40-year-old-queensland-man-concerning-theory-under-investigation-230421857.html

    From the article:

    Cauchi reportedly had schizophrenia and the Courier Mail understands he had been off his medication.

    Hmmm, starting to sound lot like O.J’s boy Jason, who stopped taking his medication as well before killing Nicole and Goldman.
    Now Mev, isn’t Joel a common Jewish first name (like Joel Rifkin the serial killer)?:

    I found this in a Yandex search:

    The surname Cauchi was first found in Languedoc, in the south of France, where the family has been a prominent family for centuries, and held a family seat with lands and manor. The family were well established in the region of Nimes and Toulouse ……

    As is well known in the case of Germany for example, Jews that had been resident there for many generations adopted a surname that was common in their host country, and the forebears of this Cauchi bloke may have done likewise.
    One thing we can safely say, contrary to what appears to be circulating in social media amongst the Sydney Jewish community, is that this guy is NOT an Arab as they’re falsely alleging he might be.

    Wild Man, what the heck is girly-mode?

    You can’t possibly be comparing the Staples Singers – Respect Yourself – to It’s Hard Out Here Fo’ a Pimp Cuz these Bitches be Bitchin’?

    Pavarotti performed with a few popular singers a couple of times; his performance with Tracy Chapman was quite lovely, but in terms of talent, technique, and ability, there is just no comparison between pop singers and classically trained singers. The average rap “musician” does not play a single instrument, nor read music, and they often use tracks from other artists who do/can.

    Music is surely a personal preference, but there are ways to judge vocal ability and musical talent, and of course, stage presence. There is a saying – good music captures lightning in a bottle. Take Joe Cocker – not exactly a supreme vocalist, but he had something, and I don’t think he wrote the majority of his own music, and neither did Elvis, but they compensated elsewhere, and they both played instruments.

    James Brown was a performer, and Seal is a talented singer; Beyonce shucks and jives and uses a backing track, and her elevation is based on something besides talent. I’m not suggesting she has no vocal ability, but why don’t you hop over to Google and find the performance by Nightwish at Wacken for Ghost Love Score; it’s a long piece, about 9-10 minutes, and if you don’t have the time, at least listen to the last few minutes, and compare that vocalist, Floor Jansen, with anything Beyonce has ever done. There’s no comparison.

    Black singers all sound the same, in general. Aretha Franklin was overrated, as well. Yes, she sings, hollers and growls. She was convinced of her own brilliance, so she took a stab at Nessun Dorma. It didn’t go well. Kanye West took the stage with Sting and John Mayer – it didn’t go well. Now, Chris Thomas King’s version of Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues at Music City Roots is phenomenal. That man is a true talent, and both Sting and Mayer would have been impressed and on their toes with him.

    Black people got stuff going on, culture/creative-wise, we don’t so much

    You are out of your mind. Whites have no culture? No creative spirit? So, what’s with all these black artists being inserted in classical history/art because they need to see themselves in American/European culture? Ballet, ice skating/dancing, tennis, basketball, the Olympics, symphony orchestra, opera, sheet music, the Opera House/Coliseum, stadiums, and the electricity, amplifiers, and plumbing to run it all….how about air travel or automobile travel to arrive at the performance in question? – all of this was sprung from the well of European creativity/spirit.

    guess what, … it’s got black influence.

    Nope. The origin of black culture is in Africa. It was brought to Europa, and they put their spin on European culture. Guitars and pianos were not brought over from Africa, nor was the sound/mixing board. The drums are universal, but drum kits didn’t arrive from Africa either. Do you know what did arrive from Africa? Twerking.

    If you really are interested in ‘pimp life’, you could seek out vids widely available,

    I think it’s rather obvious where my interest lies with regard to black culture. It’s mostly feral and nearly always the lowest common denominator. There are exceptions, of course. But, in general, they remain rudimentary.

    “Frankly, I think your various speculations about the psychology of PhysicistDave are akin to trying to do deep-sea fishing in a kiddie pool. ”

    Yeah, … pretty much, like Colin pointed out, it’s the internet. So we do the best we can. Which is going to be just so much more low resolution than irl interactions. One pretty influential nuance around this though, is Dave revealed who he is. One may assume from that, that the postings are more sincere then (in the sense that the postings will be inclusive of said psyche’s more normalized inhibitory feedbacks that are often loosened when people post anonymously, … and that is why people generally post anonymously, … because they want a venue to discuss whereby the inhibitory signals themselves, that their psyches’ are subject to, can be analyzed, as well).

    So, …. I do assume that Dave has a psychological need, that he doesn’t care if the irl people he knows, knows, …. probably because they already know. Dave must be a very difficult person to navigate, if he is in your life, irl, I imagine. A difficult person that has been tolerated around that outsized disagreeableness, because he brings hard-won success, …. of which success is partly dependent on the outsized disagreeableness, it looks like. So what do you do? If such a person is truly stand-out, novel-creativity-wise, then it makes alot of sense to do the ‘walk on eggshells’ around what really is asshole behavior, …. but people Dave doesn’t know irl (us) won’t tolerate that, though.

    Of course I could be all wrong. It’s OK though, to be curious about people, I think (if it’s not, then I sin dozens of times a day, … and I am 64, … time is short and I have already figured out a thing or two in this short life, …. and so, pretty sure I will never abide by seeing ‘curiosity’ as sinful, then, though I do understand that one should watch it though, … stepping on personal boundaries around privacy and such, …. like to me, … doxxing is extremely bad form, unless it is self-doxxing).

    Anyways, …. you would think Dave’s insight here, as a very high-level physicist, will be helpful time and again, if the trust issue could be overcomes (i.e. – why should people here trust assholes, for which they are not receiving any benefit, and have that trust allow for a space for the disagreeable person’s need to have others around them, doing the ‘walking on eggshells’ bit, … maybe I am an exception on that front because I really really wanted to try to get to the bottom of my arcane physics query, …. so I walked on eggshells a long time, to achieve that, …. and then Dave finally did, most graciously, help me, on that front).

    But then, when I come back to these Open Threads more recently, … I see that Dave is offering ‘zero’ again, around the latest issue of analysis popular here on this Open Thread, …. which would be a physicist’s analysis of the evidentiary hallmarks of ‘free-fall’ vs. ‘not free-fall’ vs. ‘how to categorize demolitions?’, …. in terms of whether said evidentiary differentiation between possibilities can be observed with enough resolution, that it doesn’t fall within ‘error margins’, …. and then, what the ramifications of the analytical takeaway, around this, would be on the overall 9/11 narrative? So what gives? Dave says what gives is that we are mostly all psychopathic morons, and we don’t deserve his insights.

    My suspicion is that Dave couldn’t handle the concept that people who are determined to be idiots will succeed.

    From what I recall, his main point is that 9/11 was just as the 9/11 Commission Report said it was.

    And that as to Building 7, (which I think is your position as well), it may have had some peculiarities, but it’s best not to dwell on such things.

    And in Stanford’s case, anyone who questions his self-vaunted intellect, or the official narrative, is a psychotic.

    “but in terms of talent, technique, and ability, there is just no comparison between pop singers and classically trained singers.”

    I mean, … how can you even say that? Wrong, wrong wrong. Look …. this is an issue for me, …. I like singing myself (but only since about 10 years ago did I take that up, … by accident too!, … didn’t even know my range or anything, … it turns out I sing bass, … but man-o-man … male singing groups sink or swim on the merits of it’s hopefully silky tenor voices, which is just so fine when you get this …. the bass stuff is in support for the silk) and then I found out how truly wonderful it is, to sing and especially to harmonize with others, and I am a rank amateur who has slowly improved with practice (and I am told I am still improving and actually getting pretty good).

    The classically trained singers I have come across in my musical ventures of the last 10 years think it is the way you say, …. and they are wrong, wrong, wrong (but I’m not going to make a big issue of this to their face beyond just stating the obvious, ….. at deep root, people do music, especially with singing, to impart emotional meaning). Does the artist activate emotional resonance in others (the audience) around this, or not so much? Guess what …. the best popular voices are better this way, than even the best classically trained voices (which can be very beautiful, like Pavarotti, in tone, it’s true). And if the classically trained people can’t feel that, …. well, …. what the hell, … what happened to them, then?

    Popular artists are popular for a good reason (good at invoking mainstream emotional resonance, … which should be the prime measuring stick – no?). Now I am not saying that these classically trained voices, some of which I have sung with, are subpar as compared to someone like me, in any way, … no, …. obviously their skill level is way beyond mine, and I love these people, …. they help me improve my own skill, … so gracious. But are they Beyonce-like, that way, for instance? Not even close (I’m sure, deep down, they must know this).

    “Music is surely a personal preference, but there are ways to judge vocal ability and musical talent, and of course, stage presence. There is a saying – good music captures lightning in a bottle. Take Joe Cocker – not exactly a supreme vocalist, but he had something, and I don’t think he wrote the majority of his own music, and neither did Elvis, but they compensated elsewhere, and they both played instruments.”

    Here, you agree with me, it seems, except, by that measure (what you call ‘lightening in a bottle’, or, … in my words, … ‘ability to invoke mainstream emotional resonance’) Joe Cocker was a supreme vocalist, by way of what should be deemed the prime measure.

    “James Brown was a performer”

    Holy heck. Don’t you dare try to discount Mr. James Brown like that. Anybody that knows anything about rhythm, knows that James Brown truly is the Godfather of so many of those funky grooves that we find everywhere, in our popular music, … and James Brown was happy to give. James Brown was a stellar performer, but also a creative rhythmic genius. He used the whole orchestration set-up like it was percussion instrument. Wow. The great funkmeister Bootsy Collins emerged from that James Brown scene, … with a massive bass-funk vibe featuring a wild manhandling of the bass. Crazy good. Ask the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea, about that, for instance.

    “I’m not suggesting she has no vocal ability, but why don’t you hop over to Google and find the performance by Nightwish at Wacken for Ghost Love Score; it’s a long piece, about 9-10 minutes, and if you don’t have the time, at least listen to the last few minutes, and compare that vocalist, Floor Jansen, with anything Beyonce has ever done. There’s no comparison.”

    I listened. Nice. Seems this act emerges from the heavy metal scene , as the European heavy metal scene was muchly inspired by European classical music, … which it seems to me, the Heavy Metal phenomenon, at root is about finding new musical avenues to express the pathos as experienced by western-tradition-converged peoples (quite the abstract vibe … the music is about ‘the feeling/gestalt of this particular culture’ instead of just straight-up, universal personal emotional meanings). Better to hear an operatic voice, in this musical domain, rather than the normalized Heavy Metal screaming, I would say. OK, … compare that to Beyonce’s latest offering – ‘Texas Hold Em’ …. well anyone can ‘feel’ what she is imparting there. It is what Beyonce always seems to be imparting with her musical talents, …..: ‘I am strong woman, don’t fuck with me, it’s always gonna be my way’). It’s a fucked-up message, it’s true, but young ladies indeed can well relate to that, in this rather-faux-western day and age. And that is why Beyonce is way way way more famous than Floor Jansen. Because she is better able to impart more universal invocation of emotional meaning, among her, therefore, wider audience. As such, … there is no comparison really, … Beyonce, by the prime measure (invocation of emotional meaning) is significantly more skilled (but I certainly would agree with you, that this wider appeal Beyonce enjoys, is not culturally healthy, … but we are not talking about that, we are talking about straight-up musical talent).

    “Black singers all sound the same, in general.”

    Yeah, generally, … the good ones have a heck of alot of rythmicity mixed in with pitch considerations, within their voices…. another way of morphing or ‘bending’ musical elements, as such, emerges, … just wonderful to hear this. The best blue-eyed soul singers rise to the sublime level, too.

    “Kanye West”

    Dude is into these nuanced story-telling theatrics. Kanye is much better than Sting or John Mayer, that way (who are more into straight-up musicianship). There is a reason why Kanye has been valued. Once again: Emotional impact.

    “You are out of your mind. Whites have no culture? No creative spirit? So, what’s with all these black artists being inserted in classical history/art because they need to see themselves in American/European culture? Ballet, ice skating/dancing, tennis, basketball, the Olympics, symphony orchestra, opera, sheet music, the Opera House/Coliseum, stadiums, and the electricity, amplifiers, and plumbing to run it all….how about air travel or automobile travel to arrive at the performance in question? – all of this was sprung from the well of European creativity/spirit.”

    You misunderstand me (on purpose, I guess I am starting to conclude). Why would you even think I was insinuating that, after all I have said about how great our true-western culture is? And then, what you do there, after that in that blockquote, is just so low-brow, somebody should probably tell you to fuck-off right about now, maybe. Black people in America insert themselves into the overall general culture, because everybody does (and if they didn’t, that would be bad). Fuck. This whole human species thing is not so hard to understand. People got to deal with the environment they find themselves in – no? That is a Darwinian dictate -no? You should probably apologize now, generally, to black people, for being so fucking exclusive. You are not exclusive. You live with other people. We all do. Get over it. James Brown tells it like it is in ‘It’s a Man’s World’, …. he is not wrong, … it’s the girly-mode thing, …. we do it for you primarily, …. so what if the black guys didn’t make the cars and all that, … men did, James Brown knows, … and James Brown loved America (and women, like we all do, I think). James Brown said something important and prescient about us. And since he did, that ‘us’ includes him. Because he understands, and this is the west, … where responsible individualists can join. He joined.

    “Nope. The origin of black culture is in Africa. It was brought to Europa, and they put their spin on European culture. Guitars and pianos were not brought over from Africa, nor was the sound/mixing board. The drums are universal, but drum kits didn’t arrive from Africa either. Do you know what did arrive from Africa? Twerking.”

    Wut? No. America is where the musical synergies happened (like I said). Country music (including Blue Grass) is derivative of black/white Appalachian folk music synergistics (just as rock and roll is). I think I would go with Keith Richards musical opinion, on all this, over yours, by a long shot, just because Keith Richards is Keith Richards (with all the experience that goes with that) and you are not.

    “Wild Man, what the heck is girly-mode?”

    It’s the female prerogative (like I said). The female prerogative, is to be able to change her mind about pretty much anything, on a whim, as not based on logic then, because instead it is an emotional intuitive feeling one’s way through the information. Western men are expected to defer, at least somewhat, to that, and we do (and then Beyonce butchers the female-sentiment end of said dynamic, .. it’s true, … just like her white sisters, like Taylor Swift and such, … they are calling for female supremacism parading as victimhood, … eventually us western boys are gonna rebel on that, …. it’s a very bad message to promulgate, all round … the ladies really do need to resolve their lack of self-awareness around this girly-mode thing, … it’s subliminal, … its high time, …. I guess that is why I am interacting with you, …. I want you to see, …. because I want most women to see).

    “I think it’s rather obvious where my interest lies with regard to black culture. It’s mostly feral and nearly always the lowest common denominator. There are exceptions, of course. But, in general, they remain rudimentary.”

    Look, the vocabulary used is much different. Put that together with how it is that these black pimps can operate such a psychologically loaded gig like that, which requires psychological and emotional nuance featuring self-knowledge, … and others can’t. Not so dumb it seems to me. So by ‘feral’, … I don’t think ‘dumb’ here is a synonym.

    Are, Europeans ‘slavs’?

    Yesterday I was skimming the comments and someone posted a video made by Robert Sepehr allegedly debunking the Out of Africa Theory of human origins. The video is linked below the more tag. While not a big issue for me if my ancestry has roots in Africa, it would certainly be fun to discover I came from somewhere else, perhaps from Ice giants, aliens or some yet undiscovered race. It would be a better story and then I still have this nasty flu and had time to kill. So I watched it and found it interesting in many ways and somewhat convincing. Still I felt the guy was emotionally invested in his results and this is hardly the last definitive take on the subject. Or perhaps it is and I didn’t realize it. I am not going to argue about this.

    Following this video I was clicking around on youtube and it’s algorithm suggested recent video, about an hour long lecture by Johannes Krause a scientist at the prestigious Max Planck institute in Germany. About the origins of current Europeans. Link below the more tag.

    The main focus of this lecture is to introduce what they have discovered about flow of genomes in Europe over the past 8000 years or so. Most of this work has been done in the past 10 years. In his introduction Krause giving the background didn’t seem to have any problems with the Out Of Africa theory, explained it and moved along as if there was no controversy. Much of his introduction was informative and even funny.

    The real meat in his lecture starts approx 40 min. into the video below. I found it fascinating both the methods they used and in it’s findings. For example, with two dimensional mapping, the genome tested from 3000 patients from one hospital i Switzerland resulted in ‘geological’ map of Europe. At about 50 min into the video he shows the good stuff, a “time travel of genes” in Europe. I am just going to quote the video description, and bold interesting points.

    Ancient DNA can reveal prehistoric events that are difficult to discern through the study of archaeological remains and modern genetic variation alone. Over the last decade, the newly founded field of archaeogenetics has analysed more than 5,000 ancient human genomes spanning the last 10,000 years of Western Eurasian prehistory.

    We have uncovered at least two major genetic turnover events at the beginning and at the end of the Neolithic period that dramatically changed the genetic landscape of Europe. These changes are likely to have been caused by at least two major migration events.

    Firstly, from around 8,000 years ago, early farmers dispersed from Anatolia and brought agriculture and domestic animals to Europe. At the end of the Neolithic period, around 5,000 years ago, we find the first genetic evidence for another major migration event, when groups from the Eastern European pontic steppe, north of the black sea, entered the heartland of Europe. The newcomers were herders, practiced pastoralism and were highly mobile. Besides introducing new cultural practices, they may have been responsible for the spread of Indo-European languages.

    In this lecture, Johannes Krause will introduce us to the field of archaeogenetics and its discoveries. He will show that all modern European populations today are a genetic mix of those steppe herders, early Anatolian farmers and indigenous European hunter-gatherers, in varying proportions. Furthermore, he will show that over the course of the past 10,000 years, genetic mix and local biological adaptation have brought about major changes in human phenotypes, such as eye colour, skin colour and the ability to digest lactose.

    So this study of “recent” times in Europe shows change in eye and skin colour. Krause flatly states ALL hunter gatherers in Europe around 8-10000 years ago had light (blue) eyes! About 15.000 years ago they appeared and “spread like wildfire”. But they had dark skin, genetically indistinguishable from current sub Saharan Africa. Perhaps supporting the out of Africa theory. (check 63 min into the video for this part).

    Better understood by watching the lecture is how much influence the genetic inflow from the ‘Eastern European pontic steppe’ had in western Europe – in about 200 year period beginning 4800 years ago they dominated the gene pool in central Europe. Mostly a male migration, bringing with it the language that became dominant, the wheel and wagons, different agricultural methods (than already present from the influx from Anatolia). A massive event in western and central European history to say the least.

    Over the past year or so I have seen some comments here on the U.R. about Slavic origin of European civilization but not paid much attention. Perhaps it’s time to take them more seriously and look deeper. That ‘odd’ theory seems to be well supported by the most advanced and current genetic studies as presented by Johannes Krause in this lecture.

    Didn’t take all these vids in (yet), but wondering, ….my understanding was that the out of Africa events were something like 30,000 – 50,000 years ago (if I am recalling correctly), and that before that, some intriguing genetic bottlenecks occurred, in Africa, among homo sapiens, and among other closely related humanoid species, which all died out, and homo sapiens almost did too, more than once I think, …. but ultimately did prevail, … and then perhaps the Anatolian action, the root provenance of the Caucasians and perhaps Asians, you might say, was subsequent to those African events. I think what I just said there was more or less the consensus view (as much as you can even say there is/was a consensus though), of a few years ago now … and I know there has been some talk more recently that, no …. there were Neanderthal and Denisovan (and probably other) hominoids wandering around Europe/Asia even 200,000 years ago, … and the idea here is that, even if Caucasians did not hale from these exact peoples (Neanderthals and Denisovans), because the genetic record shows the admixtures of these two groups upon homo sapiens in Europe and Asia is small (unaffecting black Africans, though), ….then they haled from other proto homo sapiens wandering Europe and Asia. To me, …. if I am not goofing on the actual argument here (sorry, going from memory of a few years ago) …. it just seems it would be more prudent to go with the records we actually do have, ….. that there is tremendous genetic similarity between African homo sapiens and European and Asian homo sapiens (that is why we are all homo sapiens), … and that supports the first theory I mentioned (that would tend to indicate that there was something really special about this homo sapiens that emerged in Africa, 30,000 – 50,000 year or so ago, … that it primarily is those African bottleneck events, whatever they may have been, that makes homo sapiens particularly sharp and special).

    Of course the ‘Slav’ issue is downstream from that (subsequent to that). But still, …. is there really any good arguments that Caucasians, and Asians, are not by provenance Africans (via Anatolia let’s say)? If you happen to know, and could say, or point it out, to me, I would appreciate that.

    Later in the time record, I think that something special happened in Europe too, during the tribal history period (prior to the civilizational period), …. Caucasians, … especially the further west you go in Europe, are freakier and freakier, it seems (the neoteny thing gets going, …. seemingly mixed in with enhanced male fierceness around predator-modes arising, … to my mind, anyways).

    Here’s an interesting Tweet. Do you concur with the analysis?

    Thanks, that really does seem like a good analysis of the strategic military situation. In effect, the Iranian attack was probably a very successful probing operation.

    Anyway, from what I’ve heard the cost-effectiveness of the Iranian strike was enormous, firing weapons that only cost ten or twenty million dollars while costing the Israelis a billion dollars. Furthermore, the Ukraine war has demonstrated the very weak industrial production capabilities of the West so the Israeli stock of defensive missiles may take quite some time to be replenished.

    Frankly, if not for Israel’s nuclear weapons capability, I think the country would easily be overrun and destroyed by the vast number of regional enemies it has now accumulated. The same is true for America as well, since the Russians (or even the Iranians) could easily send our carriers to the bottom of the ocean with their hypersonics, which we have been unable to similarly produce.

    Still, I’m not an expert in these military matters and I’d have to defer to those who are.

    I suggest you read the accounts written by European, Arab, and Asian explorers into sub-Saharan Africa prior to the 1700’s before you start talking about black derivatives of anything in western nations, in general. Twerking is certainly a derivative of African rhythmic expression.

    2. Go ahead.

    People got to deal with the environment they find themselves in – no?

    Yes. Ergo – electricity, indoor plumbing, HVAC, air travel, the Grand Palais/Petit Palace in Paris, the Binnenhof complex in The Hague, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and all those manure/mud huts in Africa….Detroit, Baltimore – the modern versions.

    Black people in America …..on and on…

    Black people in America are delusional about what they have contributed to society, in general. They blame white America, particularly white men, for every problem they face. They destroy communities, schools, businesses, public gatherings/festivals – you name it, they ruin it. They destroyed Rhodesia and South Africa in less than one generation. With a few exceptions, they will not accept responsibility for anything. Their elevation has not been earned, so when they do ultimately fail for sub-par performance, they blame White Supremacy. Reasoning with idiots like – Joy Reid; Shelia Jackson Lee, of the Moon is made of gas; Hank Johnson, of the Island will tip over!; Umar Johnson, of I finally had to hire a White contractor, as the blacks couldn’t do the work, but the only reason blacks couldn’t do it is because the white Man didn’t give him a proper education – is an exercise in futility and an utter waste of time.

    I think you’ve been studying at Prager U. Check out their video on the Truth About Reconstruction. There were lies and omissions throughout, and they conveniently left out the fact that Ulysses S. Grant expelled Jews from his military district during the war.

    Holy heck. Don’t you dare try to discount Mr. James Brown like that.

    He was a marginal vocal talent, but he was entertaining. Jay Z has no musical talent, and Beyonce is marginal, as well. How could she collect more Grammy awards than Celine Dion? Whitney Houston was gifted and certainly in league with Dion and Floor Jansen, but Houston could not shake off her R & B vibe, whilst both Dion and Jansen have superior range in vocal style. Some artists are intentionally elevated, whilst some are not. Celine Dion had a large audience, but never the accolades of Beyoncé. Dion was a dynamic performer, but no subversive lyrics, no squatting on stage in a unitard, so….

    I listened. Nice

    Nice? If you are the vocalist that you proclaim to be, describing Floor’s performance as nice is intentionally disingenuous. And, it’s called Symphonic Metal.

    I have no issue with popular/folk musicians; I’m a huge Led Zeppelin fan. But, lyrically and musically, it is possible to quantify musical talent/performance beyond personal preference, and one can’t compare Beethoven, Rachmaninov, or even the Led Zeppelin boys, all of whom were talented musicians, to the shuckin’, jivin, no music reading, no music theory studying, no music writing, no actual singing, average drill rappers, or regular rappers, of today. I’m fairly certain Ray Charles would agree with me. Keith Richards has very few brain cells left, and speaking of the Rolling Stones, who do you think they were referring to in Sympathy For The Devil?

    No wonder Biden in earlier innings, tells Bibi:

    “You got a win. Take the win,” Biden told Netanyahu, according to the official.” (from ZeroHedge)

    Mmmm. I wonder where this leaves all those Arab oil-rich petrodollar-c0nvegred princedoms, as far as potentially changing allegiances and such (the prime talking head for the American hegemonic brute, Biden, seems to be begging … ‘hey man, can’t you see, we got no clothes!’), and now it seems, it is revealed Bibi has agreed, and so what does that mean for international trade and the overall prospects of the west, and the ultimate fate of Israel, for that matter? Perhaps it is only the west that will now fall (double-cross by the two junior petrodollar-scheme members …. the Jewish types on Wall Street with deep pockets and much financial-market influence that support Israel, …. and said princedoms, primarily the House of Saud)?

    Hopefully instead, everybody involved just takes a chill pill now, … and go back to the seeming original faux-west corporatist globalist plan, except now modified for timeline (Trump’s plan that was dissed, in those circles, as too conservative though, it seems), …. the MAGA plan, … which was just code for: Juicing all aspects of their fading globalist-power-pretensions, here and there, as required, … with some Caucasian bravado mixed in, … in order to keep the whole charade going for another decade (or two if lucky) …. pretty much the best a rational person would hope for, in these circumstances Trump found himself in around 2015 … no? (principally as measured in terms of the fading of the U.S.’s outsized international reserve currency power), …. and then when, amongst what obviously must be a completely crazy and psychopathic wing of this faux-west globalist camp, that instead insisted on still going for a future of uni-polarity like original pretensions (and not now multi-polarity, due to the changing international conditions), and prevailed in that desire, it seems, …. well then when nothing else worked to get rid of Trump , …..we then got covid-19, and then the way that was manipulated, ensured the most prudent ‘kick the can down the road’ approach, was fucked forevermore, … and here we are. So, … not sure what Trump can really do to save us from the day of reckoning, in a prudent fashion, for a few years then, … at this point, … so I have no idea what his current presidential bid is all about.

    So now it seems to me, we (the west) should just seek peace with the entire middle eastern world,… and cease sowing division there, …. and have a good talk with everyone involved about the petro-dollar, including the likes of Iran/Iraq/Libya/Syria and Russia and China, India, Brazil, the Euro-zone, Japan ….. and seek some multi-polarity consensus now (i.e. – admit that the controllers of our western side fucked up, … had a chance to go another 1o or 20 years and take our chances something would change in the interim, ….. but we were fucking dummies and fucked up). Do I got that about right? Well then ….. is it: ‘Fat chance of the happening’, … like I suspect is the reality? Which means what then – nukes like your columnists PCR keeps worrying about? I dunno … on the other hand, why can’t we broker nuke decapacitation, in a way that ensures the places with much cheaply produced excess oil and gas available, … can’t corner the new currency market?

    Its like this Girly: Western men with good sense want this now: Analyze all the parties in the various cultural interface issues. It is easy to see what is bad (among all the parties). Find out what is good (among all the parties). Why, girly? Why do western men with good sense now want this?

    Because he sees the fucking writing on the wall. We got the fierce thing bad, …. we tend towards being sadistic as fuck, ….. we sort it out among ourselves, …. respect for just how fucking sadistic my white brothers can be, mutual all round and so hugely kept in check and constantly policed, fathers are so important that way, ….. plus we tend towards being intelligent and well self-disciplined, …. plus we love women and respect their emotional nuance (which is different for us, …. it’s fucking logic nuance with us, … you ladies are quite mystifying, and almost magical, that way to us, at times, ….. I got sisters and such, I know), …. you and your kind made us this way girly, ….. and you want to pretend the sadistic part isn’t there (because we hide it too), …. probably you want to pretend because prior harsh environmental conditions of your ancestors made you that way, …. harsh conditions, .. children are dearer, …..that alone will set conditions more-so towards neoteny, which would favor emotionalism, …. but what a magnificent emotionalism this adult human female neotenous emotionalism is. It generally comes with high intelligence, for instance. It proved to be a very adaptive strategy for said Caucasians.

    So, … we got this mix of traits, … what is a very intelligent and well self-regulated man going to do with his traited fierceness (which he must mute for girly sake) … going to do about his predator’s gaze? Huh? We are not going to burn down the world for you, … that is crazy, … and you made us not stupid. Well, …. you can feel the answer all around you. We are going to do something different now. We are going to turn outwards and try like fuck to dominate the cosmos. Maybe that is what we were made for (a life-force spawning apparatus). Think this through like the trait-champ (‘fierce/intelligent/well self-disciplined’) you made us, … and you made us all that in deference to your neotenous nature, to boot! …. made possible by partially hidden estrus and all. What will your men do TipToe, do you think, … masculine action worthy of the kind of women like you, that shaped them?

    If we are going to try to dominate habitats available within the cosmos now (and we are, I assure you, …. and if there are cognitive spaces beyond our notions of ‘the cosmos’, we will go there too), …. it is clear we need to look at this whole thing differently now. The species-mode made all us. The species-mode is far deeper than people realize. There exist undercurrents of phenotypic/genotypic features of deep adaptive potential upon probability potentials for various future circumstances (even deeper than we can now see). We need to start looking. We need to catalog all that, and ensure we keep these skills. That’s your white man now. Tough titties if you now don’t like it. You’ll come around. The women always do (because women can’t grok actual male dominance and what it actually is, among men with men, can only emotionally sense it in the social milieu, by emotional tells that the men throw off, that the men are mostly consciously blind to, and mostly don’t care too much about, unless the subconscious aspect starts gnawing on him). This is the way this is gonna go. You just don’t know yet. On that front, cataloging psychological states and all, … it would be very good if the Caucasian ladies could start this type of thing, from the female side, on their own (but won’t until it becomes cool, … the ladies are just so so so much more ‘conservative’ than their much more-so bold and cavalier men).

    Coles Notes: Hard Racism is now passe all round (you, as a girly-mode white women, just don’t know yet, …. always 2 steps behind the cool kids and I don’t mean the idiotic hughly-cryptic-racist-leftards for fucksakes, …. the cool kids are your men, and then you later pretend it is you that is cool, and we let you, and hug you and love you, and agree you are cool, because to us, you are, just maybe not the way you think).

    No, I am not wrong. There is an into-Africa theory, as well, which is likely correct.

    I don’t need to analyze my girly-self to recognize what is evident to anyone who does not REFUSE to see. Larry Elder, Brandon Tatum, Ben Carson, are extraordinary exceptions, not the rule.

    Name ONE predominantly black city in America that has not struggled to remain a reasonably functioning/safe environment. One country? Haiti has been free of White Supremacy since early 1800’s. Canada is having the exact same issues as every other country/city wherein large numbers of Africans congregate/live. You can lie to yourself, but don’t bother lying to me.

    Why, girly? Why do western men with good sense now want this?

    Alright, Western Wild Man, what is good about a city/nation with a predominant black population? Start with Baltimore.

    what is a very intelligent and well self-regulated man going to do with his traited fierceness (which he must mute for girly sake) …

    Oh, please. A very intelligent and well self-regulated man has no problems in society, unless he lives in Baltimore, and certainly has no problems dealing with women. What is apparent to me is you are not exactly describing yourself when you use the term self-regulated, but when you delve into the sadistic, predatory, aspect of human nature, you’re writing autobiographically.

    Maybe your traited fierceness is better suited for someplace like Haiti, The Congo, Baltimore, Liberia; are you Sasquatch Man?

    It proved to be a very adaptive strategy for said Caucasians.

    Are you suggesting that other races use different strategies?

    What will your men do TipToe, do you think, … masculine action worthy of the kind of women like you, that shaped them?

    Racism is passe? Yes, that’s what Barbra Spectre and Noel Ignatiev say; they have been working hard to convince White peoples that everyone else is just like us. If it were true, there would be no need to force it to be so. Why don’t you heed the words of someone who tried to make it so? –

    “I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and know: that these individuals are a sub-race. They have neither the intellectual, mental, or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and the inferior. For whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equals they will either destroy him or devour him. And they will destroy all of his work. Let white men from anywhere in the world, who would come to Africa, remember that you must continually retain this status; you the master they the inferior. Like children that you would help or teach. Never fraternize with them as equals. Never accept them as your social equals or they will devour you. They will destroy you.” — Albert Schweitzer

    Telegram comment posted by White Papers:

    The stabbing in Sydney, Australia, which has left 6 dead, including a new mother, and dozens injured, including her infant daugher, is the latest example of the consequences of the multiracial experiment.

    It is time to abandon the radical neoliberal experiment of multiracialism and restore the Australian nation (a White nation) to the state its founders intended.

    By 1947 the foreign born population of Australia have fallen to just 10.5%, and even though it increased to 21% by 1971, these immigrants were overwhelmingly White.

    Today the Foreign born population of Australia stands at 29.5%, and is overwhelmingly non-White.

    Of the 7.7 million foreigners only 23.4% (1.8 million people) possess Australian citizenship.

    If Australia began cancelling visas and restricting immigration the country could shed nearly 5 million non-Whites. Including 510,000 Chinese, and half its Indian, Afghan, and Filipino populations.

    Restricting dual nationality, and removing dual nationality from current dual nationals, would reduce the non-White population even further.

    There are ample policy options available to Australians, and if they are to avoid further violence at the hands of racial foreigners discussions about peaceable repatriation must take place within an informed context.

    OK, …. you are saying that now in reference to my outline of how the racism spectrum actually works, in culture, …. so you are implying there is a genetics-history theory that should give much weight to a huge discount of African-provenanced traits as key, I suppose, to lend credence to the idea that we should try to eliminate the Black Africans future-considerations-wise, as anything other than an nuisance.

    Some people would say that is a cunt-move, if that is what you are doing. I mean, it is a cunt-move unless you got the goods. I already asked niceland for the goods in comment #972 (but he seems just to be a genuinely interested party, as to what actually happened, like me, without so much invested in any one probability). You got those goods, though? Please say.

    “What is apparent to me is you are not exactly describing yourself when you use the term self-regulated, but when you delve into the sadistic, predatory, aspect of human nature, you’re writing autobiographically.”

    Yeah, … I am OK with going down that avenue with you. I have been quite open. I say, that masculine western gestalt as I have outlined, is sweetspot (especially for men of NW European ancestors), .. you say no … ‘you are Mr. Deficient, is what it is’. I have said quite alot, as to how it is that circumstances may have shaped me and my personal gestalt. And you balk at that as abnormal and so, in all fairness, .. the shoe is on the other foot now, …. I am a person with much curiosity about pret near everything, like I said, …. I take it you have children (I think you said that), …. you think you know what is going on in the heads of your boys (if you have boys) especially once they are struck by the hormonal reshaping during adolescence? (but the gender differences between boys and girls, is huge, and apparent way before adolescence, as well).

    The way you talk, I think you don’t (which is normal in the west). You got no clues about what masculine dominance actually is (and how one must pretty much, sweat blood, at key moments, in order to achieve this, ….. because it cannot really happen in a full way without the man first coming to dominate himself, …. and you have no clue), …. no fucking clue, …. all you know (as western girly-mode white woman) is that you like it’s effects (the effects of genuine masculine dominance), and you sniff around with emotional feelers as to where you may find the effects. That is the neotenous advantage, – right there, fyi.

    But personally I think you owe it to your boys (if it is boys you have). I had a wonderful mother, who understood, she owed it to her boys, to try to understand. It makes a big difference (especially after Dad prematurely dies) for the boys.

    Also, personally, I think you owe it to your girls (if it is girls that you have). This Beyonce/Taylor Swift crap will not be undone until the girly-mode western white women weigh-in, in a way that isn’t just a stupid: ‘You and him fight’. (As an aside, since you brought it up, I note that the likes of Beyonce and Taylor Swift are just softer and therefore a more insidious version of WAP, … which to me is a genre that is funny as fuck, … as also well promoted by that Australian lass with the golden locks, – Iggy Azalea … whom I really like as the ‘camp’ performer she aspires to, … knocks it out of the park that way, … but alas, … apparently just a dumb girly-mode white girl, irl, as well).

    So, … to me eyes, and what I know about my own life and my own transgressions (hardly any, … which is the norm among western men, we are, in the main, very well self-regulated, … doesn’t really matter if a girly-mode type disagrees about this state of affairs, …. this girly-mode white woman thing makes you extremely gynocentric, which everyone can see, …. except for the girly-mode white women, that is), …. I want to know (and in all fairness now deserves to know …. you went there, and I am OK with that, as long as you are a sport and not a cunt about it), …. do you want your boys to fight to thrive? What do you mean by ‘thrive’ (the word you used)? What would you mean by ‘fight’ though? If you archaically think your boys should thrive by dominating other groups, more-or-less tribal-style (which is what girly-mode white women tend to actually want, …. deep viscerally-felt security …..’he would die for me’ type thing, but alot of them, leftards for instance, will refuse to say so), …. well I hope your boys are sharp enough to give their mother a needed tune-up then (which is normal, … my own mother needed this repetitive tune-up, … bless her heart, … and her sense of me as protective man, only grew as a result of the tension of that). This is very simple: Western men with good sense (like me and your boys, I hope) fucking laugh as loud as possible, and with great dominating mirth when I get any sniff of ‘You and him fight’ from western girl-mode white women, unless her life is actually in danger, or something critical like that. Otherwise it’s: Hahahahahahahahaha!, .and some more hahahahahahaha!, … you can’t be serious can you?, … in this day and age, ….. what, .. are you a moron?, … but that is impossible, … you are our own mothers and we know you are not morons, … so what it it then, TipToe? Only the faux-west corporatist globalists win when we fight.

    Maybe you should try talking to some people outside of you usual social circles.

    It’s funny you bring up Barbra Spectre. Her infamous quip that the Jews would be at the center of the cultural transformation of Europe, ….. well, yes, … just not the way she thinks (too funny… Barbra Spectre, so gynocentric in general dumbassness, …. a western white girly-mode liability that I a am strongly counseling you to watch out for, and extricate from your psyche, when it appears … don’t be unnecessarily dumb, in other words, … you really have no good excuses), …. that she sees the JQ/Jewdom/the-Judaic/Israel psycho-cunt action, as chocolate pudding.

    The Albert Schweitzer quote you ended with is interesting. I don’t know much about him, …. but on the face of it, … is that not a supremacist sentiment? I wonder how he interpreted John Locke? The supremacist sentiment (by cold hard logic) is actually quite baseless, …. one needs to properly understand John Locke, what was then meant by ‘the egalitarian’, a term since butchered (be the enemies of true-westernism), …. from which emerges this sense of ‘ontological humility’ (which term I have already repetitively well-outlined here in various threads) which I am quite sure John Locke was promoting.

    White women have alot of work to do (catching up with their men). It’s a polarity (the man/woman thing), … it’s the way it works, … next inning the female emotionalism, may well be, what is needed to reorientate (I can see how powerful it is, within certain confines). I am not saying men are superior, on balance. The genders are actually supremely egalitarian (upon the original non-butchered sense of the word, … merit-based equality, as measured across ALL domains).

    Bottom Line: You, as western white girly-mode woman, seem to be very very stuck, envisioning a very narrow window of possibilities, as far as the future goes, ….. which with all that has happened in recent history, is now extremely bad form. Get the fuck out of the way of your men’s creative/intelligent streak, addressing the real issues now facing us, …. since we can’t fight no more, … we need to do something else, … it is actually very very simple, .. unless you just instead want to simp-out the male cohort, …. and if you actually achieved excising male fierceness from the gene pool (but you can’t, … female sexual desire works against that, … so if you wanted that actually, you would have to change you innate self first, … not really possible, … at least for now), … well its good-bye homo sapiens then. Then, once you finally understand, … you damn well better support us, or we will go for different women. And we don’t have all day. Get on with it already. Grow up (just a bit, … I think we still want your more-or-less very valuable neoteny, though)

    At least they’re Christians, I wonder how many Mosques are being built in Australia these days, and is that an ominous trend?

    How well have Christians and Muslims gotten along over the centuries, or were all those wars due simply because the Christians didn’t realize, (until Jew told them) that Diversity is ((our)) Strength?

    I used to wonder if Australia might not be a good haven to one day escape the plague of ZOG in the U.S. and wider West, but alas, I don’t think so anymore. Draconian Covid lock-downs, gun confiscation, and now importing diversity, because it’s ((our)) strength.

    This whole thing of how Sweden is a crime-ridden hell hole is really tending towards peak wingnuttery. Here are some salient facts:

    If Sweden became the 51st state of the U.S., it would, with 1.1 homicides per 100,000, be the state with the lowest homicide rate. It would be below places like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho… which are the states with the lowest homicide rates. These are also places that have very little in the way of racial minorities. However, Maine, the state with the lowest homicide rate still has 1.5 homicides per 100,000, as compared to 1.1 per 100,000 in Sweden. You can see the data here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_intentional_homicide_rate

    Sweden’s third largest city, Malmo, with something over 300,000 people, has about a dozen homicides a year. This is reputedly the most dangerous city in Sweden. The most dangerous city in the U.S. is St. Louis, Missouri, with a similar population and over 200 homicides a year. In fact, St. Louis has far more homicides in a typical year than ALL of Sweden, with a population of 10.5 million people. And, actually, there’s a slew of cities in the U.S. which have more homicides every year than all of Sweden. Some of them are not even very large cities — Indianapolis, Milwaukee…

    I could go on, but look, what I say above corresponds to what any moderately well informed person surely knows already: Sweden is an awful lot safer than the U.S.

    The whole conversation is really just ridiculous. Now, of course, there are some murders in Sweden, about 100 a year, yes. So if you can scan back ten years or more, you have some material. There is the Elin Krantz case from 2010. And some other cases too. So somebody put together a collage of 9 nasty cases seemingly. That includes Elin Krantz, so they were going through over a decade’s worth of gruesome murders to put that together.

    This is pure demagoguery really. For somebody who is (I guess…) in the U.S. to be screaming and hollering about how crime-infested Sweden is… this is so ludicrous. It reflects some abysmal ignorance of the world we live in. That, or just some utterly shameless level of dishonesty.

    I’ll just make a final point. Nothing I say above is pro-immigration. It’s just anti-bullshit.

    .my understanding was that the out of Africa events were something like 30,000 – 50,000 years ago (if I am recalling correctly), and that before that, some intriguing genetic bottlenecks occurred, in Africa, among homo sapiens, and among other closely related humanoid species, which all died out, and homo sapiens almost did too, more than once I think,

    It’s entirely possible you know more about this than I do, I have never dug into this in any meaningful way.

    Judging by this video from the Max Planck Scientist and another from his college I watched yesterday it seems they strongly support the Out of Africa theory and seem to have good reasons to do so. However it seems they are not clear about what happened in Africa, or I haven’t seen it.

    Basically they say all homo sapiens have roots in Africa. Some ~50k years ago a group of them came out of Africa and according to their theory; soon came in contact with the Neanderthals and mixed with them. Examples have been found with up to 10% Neanderthal genes from that location and time. This group then went on to populate the earth (to use biblical terms) and therefore we have the all people on earth outside Africa with perhaps 1-2% Neanderthals genes. That’s the best explanation they have at least for the moment. This mixing happened very early to the out of Africa travelers and spread with them to the rest of the planet.

    Later a group of them mixed with Denisovans in Asia. Europeans don’t have these genes.

    That’s about as far as I have come, using these sources. Then we have the guy debunking the Out of Africa theory citing research showing people in southern Africa having 10% (up to 20%) mixture of genes considered to come from much older stock, 1 million years old. Even perhaps Homo erectus, not found outside of Africa so to speak if I got that correctly.

    Perhaps there were two or more groups of distinct humanoids that didn’t mix in Africa back in the day. That did so later – after the main exodus of homo sapiens. That seems possible, Africa is after all, enormous in size.

  980. soon came in contact with the Neanderthals and mixed with them.

    Whence came the Neanderthals? As far as I know, there have been no Neanderthal remains found in Africa. It’s the same for the Denisovins.

    I stumbled across the work of an anthropologist, whose name I took down, but I’ve misplaced my notes, who displayed a row of human skulls, along with skulls of apes and chimpanzees. For the most part, they were easily distinguishable – animal/human. Then he presents another row of skulls that clearly seem combinations of human/animal. He claims the into-Africa theory is more likely correct, and black Africans seem to be a combination of ancient modern humans with Homo Erectus, or some other ancient hominid. There was a recent discovery of a “ghost gene” in subsaharan Africans.

    He then claims that there is a large “fossil trade” in Africa, and Smithsonian, or like agencies, are buying up ancient skulls/bones for research, but he claims the curious artifacts seem to disappear, as there is never public reporting on unusual specimens. Normally I might struggle to believe his accusations, and I would certainly be hesitant to repeat them, as I can’t find his name and I have been looking, but when I was doing research into archaeological finds in Southwest America, which included myths/stories from Native Americans, I found several reports of instances wherein finds of unusual skeletons/artifacts were on exhibit, but were subsequently retrieved/claimed by the Smithsonian or some other national type museum/organizations, and the remains were never to be seen again.

    Of course you’re not pro-immigration.

    Well, actually I’m not pro-immigration. But I am utterly opposed to this sort of demonization of immigrants. After all, I’m quite intensely aware that, by and large, these people are just doing what I (or you) would do if we were in their shoes. So, it seems pretty hypocritical to be demonizing people for that. In fact, that kind of thing makes me very uncomfortable. But, anyways, it’s just typical of a certain kind of racist, fascistic discourse — despising the poor for being poor and all that kind of thing. Screaming that all these immigrants are rapists and murderers is very much in that sort of vein.

    But anyway, I answer your (implicit) question but really, the point is that the conversation is not supposed to be about me. I outlined a series of hard facts that tend to suggest that Sweden is not at all a crime-infested hellhole. But since you have no real response to those facts, you are trying to turn the conversation into being about me personally. Generally speaking, that is not really a legitimate debating tactic, but particularly when you yourself are not showing your face or revealing your name, this is utterly improper. In fact, it really shows that the person (you in this case) has no basic sense of fair play. You just can’t really debate like this, turning the conversation into some very personal attack on the other person, when you yourself are anonymous.

    I get it. Some Zionists/Neocons initially subverted our institutions and manipulated our representatives to open the floodgates to facilitate the 3rd world invasion,

    Well, I’m not so sure about that. In Germany, the first real wave of Muslim immigration was from Turkey not long after WW2. Those Turks came as Gastarbeiter and this was specifically because postwar Germany had dire labor shortages because of all the young men they had lost in the war. So I would tend to think that it was German industry that wanted to bring in those people. In France, there are a lot of Algerians and Moroccans and this relates to France’s history as a colonial power and whatever deal De Gaulle made to resolve the situation in Algeria, but I don’t really know all the details of that. I never got the feeling that Zionists were involved in that situation all that much either, but I could be wrong. The Zionists in France are very happy to tell all the Jews there that they are in danger from these Ay-rabs so they should emigrate to Israel, Israel being such a safe, peaceful place as compared to France, so they say. Of course, I don’t believe that Jewish ethnics in France are in any danger from the Muslim population there. It seems like nonsense. But that would be an example of some propaganda narrative being pushed by the Zionists.

    But the thing about all this is that you’d have to actually study each situation separately and actually know something about it. But that’s actually work… intellectual work… it doesn’t seem like you’re up to that.

    I get it. Some Zionists/Neocons initially subverted our institutions and manipulated our representatives to open the floodgates to facilitate the 3rd world invasion, but these same Zionists/Neocons are now distorting the violent crime statistics to cast these 3rd world invaders in an unfavourable light to limit the 3rd world invasion.

    Well, I suppose there is some amount of truth in the above. The Zionists are perfectly happy to advocate immigration from 3rd world countries. And they are also perfectly happy to use their propaganda network to villify those self-same immigrants. Though I would add that it is not 100% clear that these are the same people always. It’s a funny thing how Jews seem to punch so much above their weight in these sorts of debates. Karl Marx (and a host of other lesser left-wingers) was a Jew and Milton Friedman (and plenty of other similar types) were also Jews. But they’re not the same people.

    Very crafty these Zionist/Neocon propagandists.

    Well, yeah, they are. They’re also quite happy to have dumbass white boys like you ranting about non-existent rape epidemics in Sweden. For starters, all this is really quite toxic and the Zionists seem to be very interested in fracturing society. But also, the thing is that, to the extent that people (using the word “people” loosely) like you or the Rurik entity go on about non-existent rape epidemics and screaming and hollering about Sweden being a crime-ridden dystopia and all this nonsense, you guys just tend to discredit yourselves. Because most people surely know that this is basically nonsense, all this stuff about Sweden being such a horrible place and all that. To most people, you come off as a bunch of loons, right? In particular, a bunch of dumbass white boy Americans going on about how crime-ridden a country like Sweden is… given the real facts of the situation, it is just ass clown stuff really.

    But anyway, I outlined a series of facts regarding the crime rate in Sweden compared to the U.S. You didn’t address any of that at all. Are you just conceding that debate then? Are you just accepting that there is not really any huge crime problem in Sweden?

    Here’s an interesting question.

    Since the beginning of the conflict, a significant number of individuals have fled Israel.

    See below.

    https://thecradle.co/articles-id/14797

    Data from Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority cited by Hebrew newspaper The Times of Israel shows that nearly half a million Israelis have fled Israel since 7 October.

    About 470,000 Israelis have left since the beginning of the war, and it is unclear if they will return or not, the report says.

    The data also indicates a significant decline, around 70 percent, in the number of Jews immigrating to Israel.

    In November, 2,000 Jewish immigrants arrived in Israel compared to the 4,500 coming each month since the start of the year.

    The surge saw the return of a longstanding Israeli fear that turmoil in Israel could lead to a ‘reverse Aliyah,’ or a mass exodus of Jews to other parts of the globe (the opposite of early 20th-century mass immigration, which led to the state’s formation).

    In your article about 9/11, you made an insightful observation.

    https://www.unz.com/runz/seeking-9-11-truth-after-twenty-years/

    brutal measures failed to end the wave of continuing attacks, which increasingly took the form of suicide-bombings against civilian targets. Many believed that the violence might soon trigger a huge outflow of Israeli citizens, perhaps producing a death-spiral for the Jewish state. Iraq, Iran, Libya, and other major Muslim powers were supporting the Palestinians with money, rhetoric, and sometimes weaponry, and Israeli society seemed close to crumbling. I remember hearing from some of my DC friends that numerous Israeli policy experts were suddenly seeking berths at Neocon thinktanks so that they could relocate to America.

    Sharon was a notoriously bloody and reckless leader, with a long history of undertaking strategic gambles of astonishing boldness, sometimes betting everything on a single roll of the dice. He had spent decades seeking the Prime Ministership, but having finally obtained it, he now had his back to the wall, with no obvious source of rescue in sight.

    The 9/11 attacks changed everything. Suddenly the world’s sole superpower was fully mobilized against Arab and Muslim terrorist movements, especially those connected with the Middle East. Sharon’s close Neocon political allies in America used the unexpected crisis as an opportunity to seize control of America’s foreign policy and national security apparatus, with an NSA staffer later reporting that Israeli generals freely roamed the halls of the Pentagon without any security controls. Meanwhile, the excuse of preventing domestic terrorism was used to implement newly centralized American police controls that were soon employed to harass or even shut down various anti-Zionist political organizations. One of the Israeli Mossad agents arrested by the police in New York City as he and his fellows were celebrating the 9/11 attacks and producing a souvenir film of the burning World Trade Center towers told the officers that “We are Israelis…Your problems are our problems.” And so they immediately became.

    I wonder if Israel is in the same type of situation as they faced back in 2000 and 2001. A substantial number of Israelis have fled the country, daily military conflict has engulfed the society, the economy is suffering, and various nations are supporting the Palestinians. I wonder if the Israelis feel like they might need to do something DRASTIC to change the current status quo. I wonder if they feel like they may need to drawn the USA into a broader regional conflict, which would take pressure off them.

    That’s what I’ve been repeatedly predicting would happen. There is an enormous amount of people on this site who complain daily about the nefarious influence of Jews on everything. Without necessarily endorsing any of their claims, I’ve explained to them that supporting Israel is the way to go if they want less Jews around them. That and accepting Palestinian refugees. If Jews make Israel a safe place for themselves, and angry Palestinian refugees flood the places diaspora Jews used to consider their safe haven, there is a good chance Jews will feel motivated to move to Israel.

    Well, good grief, Sasquatch Man, it has been you waxing sentimental over your inner savage – your inner predator, your inner monster – yearning to be set loose. In point of fact, you are not alone in your yearning, and if you would take yourself to Haiti, sub-Saharan Africa, NYC, Baltimore, Mississippi, Louisiana, you can set yourself free amongst others who feel no anguish over the suppression of their inner selves – the monsters they were always destined to be.

    Perhaps all living beings have a potential for savagery; I live in a house wherein any one of the dogs and the man could, independently, kill me, yet I live, so my girly-whirly strategy is working. Thus far, no attempts to subdue me have been made. Speaking of savages, have you ever watched sparrows at a bird feeder? If they were the size of gulls, bird watchers would be missing a few eyeballs.

    so you are implying there is a genetics-history theory that should give much weight to a huge discount of African-provenanced traits

    I am implying nothing; I am stating outright that they are biologically different in appearance, behavior, and intellect.

    You got those goods, though? Please say.

    Yes.

    You’re a bit of a potty-mouth; perhaps that’s why you struggle with women?

    you say no … ‘you are Mr. Deficient, is what it is’…And you balk at that as abnormal

    When have I ever said that aggression in men is abnormal? Uncontrolled savagery and sadistic behavior, acted upon in normal circumstances, is abnormal in Western Men. If I walk the mean streets of Port au Prince or Johannesburg, I know exactly what will happen to me, and it would be a normal occurrence.

    Western men, in general, are to be respected, and whilst not exactly feared, you don’t tug on Superman’s cape, so to speak. Women used to understand this – we don’t rule. Modern girls are clueless, as they believe men and women are the same, and it seems, boys are becoming too tolerant. Having said that, I’m not advocating violence against intolerable women; such women should just be ignored. THAT will get their attention….

    You got no clues about what masculine dominance actually is

    Really? That’s very perceptive of you…..I have/had a dominant father/grandfather; I have only brothers, 4, all of whom were athletes/hunters/anglers, all between 6’1” – 6’4”, and I mention their height only because tall men seem to get challenged more frequently than average-sized men, so I’ve observed plenty of instances of male peacocking which often leads to a scuffle, which my brothers never lost, by the way. They never started fights, as instructed by our father/g-father. I was the oldest of this brood, and therefore coddled NOT.

    Yes, I have children; girls and boys. I teach the girls to be women; their father teaches the boys to be men. I give both boys and girls insights on handling the opposite sex.

    You seem to have a bit of disdain for white women. Perhaps you should listen to Tommy Sotomayor, a black man, who has a few interesting things to say about black women. Would you like a link?

    1. are you a moron? … you are our own mothers and we know you are not morons, … 2. so what it it then, TipToe? 3. Only the faux-west corporatist globalists win when we fight.

    1. I don’t think so. 2. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking me. 3. I don’t really buy this argument. Yes, it is somewhat true that we are being kept distracted, however the enemies of our enemies are not our friends. Western nations are being flooded with people who are not compatible, in large numbers, in western societies. They will not side with the White World when push comes to shove. For God’s sake, how many successful blacks, such as LeBron James, whine on and on about white supremacy? LeBron claims he is being hunted every day, and he is too stupid to realize that everything he has was given to him by western society. The Muslims flooding into Europe/Canada may hate Jews, but they hate Whites/Christianity, as well. It is truly Whites vs. the World. The problem is that not enough Whites realize this fact.

    What you fail to realize about Spectre is that her idea of multi-cultural Europe is not girly-mode. She may say it is, she may believe it is, but she has been indoctrinated by a Talmudic world view, which is based on retribution against Europa for destroying that damn temple and our historical thwarting of Jewish supremacy. Germany seems to have been Europa’s last stand.

    Albert Schweitzer spent significant time in Africa. I have a relative who lived in Africa for about a year between college and graduate school. I have a friend who married a Dutch man from South Africa. My daughter has a friend whose parents were born in South Africa. I met a veterinarian, who still lives in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, at a wildlife fundraiser. How’s that for a circle of friends? So, whence do you glean your Kumbaya-teach the world to sing in perfect harmony-mumbo jumbo?

    Bottom Line: You, as western white girly-mode woman, seem to be very very stuck, envisioning a very narrow window of possibilities,

    Sasquatch Man, I base my worldview on personal experience; the personal experiences of people I know and trust; accurate history, for which I have spent years uncovering and studying, much of which via sources found within Internet commentary, which has proven to be more valuable than a college education; and through reliable journalists and historians. I think I have a handle on what is possible, and what is probable. I am not a flighty, easily persuaded, girly-girl.

    I am very sorry about your son and your wife; very truly sorry. With all due respect, I believe you are grappling with regrets and maybe anger, which has not found proper ventilation, and I hope you find peace; Alberta seems a heaven on earth, and you should protect your nation and the legacy of your forebears with the force of that yearning you seem to have currently focused on finding the answers to what ails all of us; maybe you should focus on what ails some of us, as there is no universal problem/answer. We can’t fix Africans/Muslims/Jews, etc., because they are not us. I think the Stoics/traditional western wisdom sources hold the answers, and by traditional, I mean well beyond 1776. I also believe the Austrian Painter, bless his soul, was mostly right. Some say he was not brutal enough….

    Oh, man, that’s so feeble. Just this final attempt to throw another straw-man or two into the discussion. Of course, nobody was suggesting that Sweden is so much better than before. I never even went there. I also never claimed that crime has decreased, and certainly not disappeared. The best educated guess is that the overall amount of crime in Sweden just hasn’t changed that much. Crime is at about the same level it was 20 years ago or more. I posted this before:

    Sweden has indeed become a woker’s paradise.

    You’re not even attempting to debate or anything. You just respond to things that nobody ever said. Straw-manning.

    “All I can say is that reality will racinate you once again in due time. ”

    Just to be clear, I think I understand racism. Like I said, everyone innately favors those of similar ethnicity, as new born babies even, pretty much. When we all decide to all go id-mode on that though, and do as you say in the blockquote, … we will all be pretty much dead, then. Not really sure what you got to trump that (as far as something of high importance for masculine willfulness to be focused on).

    The masculine fierce-mode, cooked into the genetic books across all races pretty much, needs a new avenue of expression, that is helpful to the species (like it has been all along). I mean, …. this is an old idea, .. pretty much the original Star Trek, was sort of a campy take on that idea. I think maybe people might not get it, that this masculine fierce-mode, … even inclusive of all the sadistic action downstream from giving it full expression, now and then, wars and all, ….. has been very beneficial to the human species. It is only natural that it will continue to be so. The women lost the matriarchy in the mist of prehistory, to a maturing patriarchy (once the tribes got quite large, …. women lived in fear much more than the men did, …. i.e. – once groups become emotionally unmanageable due to size, it tends to freak women out alot more than men, …. and then men had to take over the cultural organization responsibility due to that, …. and western men, slowly but surely, probably as guided by female sexual selection, came to excel at this endeavor), and have never gained it back, among the Caucasians (except I got no clue about Jewish life, around that, … probably a vast topic, I imagine). It doesn’t really matter that the western women seem not to get it. They will come round. They will have no choice, soon …. and will be begging their men, and any men in general, for this action, under unbelievably worse conditions, if we don’t put a stop to this feminine lunacy now (it won’t be the first time our women needed saving from themselves, …. and I imagine the shoe has been on the other foot, within Caucasian history, as well). So there really is no reason to let this get worse like that. Nothing at all will be gained (and we will have failed the women, and all of humanity, then).

    Like I said. if you brag about crushing HaShem, what chance does a “dumbass white boy” have, lol?

    But not by any tricky jewboy debating tactics.

    Are you sure?

    Because if we compare crime statistics (say gun violence and rapes) from 1975, when the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country, to the present, do you really think you’ve made a convincing case that these statistics remained more or less constant?

    Regarding gun violence in Sweden, here’s what wiki has to say…

    Gun violence in Sweden… increased steeply among males aged 15 to 29 in the two decades prior to 2015, in addition to a rising trend in gun violence there was also a high rate of gun violence in Sweden compared to other countries in Western Europe.

    Gun violence started increasing in the mid 2000s and increased more rapidly from 2013 onwards. This sets Sweden apart from most other countries in Europe where there instead has been a decline in gun homicides. In its 2021 report on the phenomenon, the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention did not analyse the reasons for the trend that occurred in Sweden. Most of the increase is related to gang violence in vulnerable areas in Sweden which are areas with higher crime rates, low income and education, and a large immigrant population.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_Sweden

    Regarding the rise in the number of rapes in Sweden, here’s what wiki has to say under the section Birthplace of perpetrators

    In 1994, of the 314 men arrested for rape, 79% were born in Europe, 21% were born outside of Europe; 50% were foreigners.

    In 2018, Swedish Television investigative journalism show Uppdrag Granskning analysed the total of 843 district court cases from the five preceding years and found that 58% of all convicted of rape and attempted rape had a foreign background.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden

    So, in summary, in 1975 0% of rapes were committed by foreigners. In 1994, 50% of rapes were committed by foreigners. And in 2018, 58% of rapes were committed by foreigners. So, you’re right… pretty much constant, lol!

    Oh, man, that’s so feeble. Just this final attempt to throw another straw-man or two into the discussion.

    Straw-man? Talk about the pot calling the kettle shvartza, lol. You’ve thrown a veritable straw-army or two trying to defend the indefensible.

    @Tiptoethrutulips

    Thanks for the comment. My main point is, ….. there is probably more right with us than wrong with us, all round (species-wise). All these wars and such, ….. it never resulted in anything close to a ethnic homogeneity across humanity (except perhaps in Africa of 50,000 years ago or so, … right at the probable start of us, … we don’t know, .. but hominoid exterminations may have been part of it).

    Why would all that masculine fierce-mode action, not arrive at that kind of supposed ethnic Nirvana? I ask, .. just ponder that question (for a few days, .. mull it over).

    It would be a pity if we nuked ourselves, rather accidentally (because everybody was still focused on wanting to just protect their women, when they should have been thinking about protecting us all, and put an end to the war-making (the time horizons, energtics and such, may not be huge, with respect to prospect for getting off this planet, in a big way).

    Prior, … wars tended to mix people (tribes) in new ways. Let’s pretend the species can speak. Maybe the species says in response to the war-caused people-churn: – ‘that is great, just what I wanted, I feel better now’. What would the species say after we individuals decided to do the wars thing, big-time again, …. paradoxically trying but once again for some kind of ethnic Nirvana, because the women are fear-based creatures and think that’s what they want, …. but in that eventuality what would the species say, if it could speak?: Maybe: – ‘oh heck, …. I didn’t get people churn, …. I got the whole enterprise knocked down so bad there is no coming back, in a way, to get off the planet, and I wanted to get off the planet, …. that was the whole idea’.

    Sounds like a childish analogy. Nevertheless, maybe it’s worth a ponder, just as a mental exercise.

    You seem like a good person. Not really getting the supremacist attitude. We should say what is good about ourselves and celebrate that. And when our brothers do that we shouldn’t beat them up for doing it too. Life is a struggle, among other things. None of us individuals have been that great in the whole scheme of things, …. maybe even ‘from the species perspective’ abstraction (not even an Unz). Unz’s friend Stephen Hsu had been saying some years ago, that the actual probable maximum ‘g’ factor embedded in the human genome, as expressed in IQ terms, is probably something like at least 500, and maybe as much as 1,000.

    The species would probably therefore say: ‘I can do better, … more people churn please’. Pretty much the opposite of what you want. I don’t think the species would care if you wanted something different than what it wanted, in order for it to get what it wanted, though. Once again, … maybe just a simple childish analogy (species don’t think and speak!, people will say, … well, … that would be a naive viewpoint in any event, but I’ll leave that for now, this is already getting pretty abstract). Take the simple analogy (or not) and ponder. You may be surprised what this mental exercise may do for your outlook. As well, …. re the abstract puzzle I just alluded to, …. maybe you could ponder this one as well: ‘Which came first, … the species or the individual?’ Mmmmm, …. it seems as individuals, we are in-polarity with the species – no? Interesting. Very very interesting. Enough for today.

    A French teen was arrested for saying that foreign rapists should be deported! And, this was not some male Right-winger, but a female feminist from the feminist identitarian Collectif Némésis group. She had attended a carnival in the eastern French city of Besançon, and had held up a sign saying “deport foreign rapists.” If these foreign rapists had been deported instead of being given the keys to the city, so to speak, then 46 French women would not have been raped. But instead, the mayor of the city filed a race hate complaint, and the police do what is now their main job, arresting Whites who get out of line. There was a home and computer search, and the case is proceeding.

    “Look, the high number of reported rapes in Sweden, as compared to other countries, as best I understand, is because Sweden has a very expanded definition of what sexual assault is, and a lot more incidents are reported, but also, I’m pretty sure that most of this is domestic violence.”

    “That doesn’t seem to be true. Besides, there are really not very many Ethiopians in Sweden anyway.”

    “That said, I don’t think there is really that much crime in Sweden anyway, but what little there is would tend to be concentrated in certain kinds of poorer neighborhoods.”

    “I’m probably here talking to some sort of Bot.”

    In a podcast on November 24, 2021, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an African woman who fled to The Netherlands, interviewed Swedish journalist, Paula Neuding. Neuding’s parents were amongst approximately 3,000 Jews who immigrated to Sweden in 1969 due to antisemitism in Poland. She was born in Sweden in 1981, and she states that “Swedes were very welcoming…the society was marked by high trust, high levels of social cohesion… well organized” …she states she never experienced antisemitism in Sweden from Swedes.

    Below are a few of her remarks –

    I grew up in a suburb of Stockholm, Malmwagen…today Malmwagen is known as a parallel society, where parents tell journalists that they are afraid to let their children play outside for fear of shootings, so this area has really degenerated since I lived there

    and I remember….running around freely, that there weren’t any spots on the map where you couldn’t go because of gang violence, that really didn’t exist in my childhood…
    I was in the liberal party and everybody believed in free immigration, and I was definitely in favor of that too because that’s what you were, everyone was in favor of free immigration….
    quite early on, it became obvious to me that there are huge problems of integration….not seriously discussed in Swedish media….
    well crime is one obvious problem, I mean we have a very grave situation now with bombs going off and clan based crime, gang crime and so on….
    anti-semitism, if you look at the Swedish town of Malmo, which has a very large immigrant population, anti-semitism is rampant
    It definitely was a sensitive issue that there’s a an over representation when it comes to sex crime for instance… we’ve known that for for 25 years and that’s been very sensitive to talk about…
    why is i think… for two reasons, there’s a genuine fear to stoke populism, racism, xenophobia but there’s also fear of being accused of all these things…

    Sweden went from having been probably the most open and having these conversations, to the most closed and calling everyone a racist and shutting down debate….when it came to honor killings, we had one very famous case with a woman, Fahim Shahindal, a Kurdish woman…she spoke to Swedish Parliament about the honor oppression that she was living under, and after she spoke in the parliament she was in fact murdered by her father in an honor killing, and that case, it was just shocking…

    I started writing about anti-semitism in Sweden about 10 years ago because I spoke to a rabbi in Malmo again who had been a victim of hundreds of anti-semitic incidents, and he told me…there had been some incidents with right-wing extremists but it mostly came from the the immigrant community…

    well there’s one issue that has been discussed very openly, and that’s a wave of robberies against children, where children are surrounded by gangs and not just mugged but also humiliated and they’re called humiliation robberies, where they have all kinds of horrible things happen to them..

    yeah and it’s happening in middle class areas where children go to soccer practice and come back without their shoes and without their jacket and crying, begging their parents not to report because they know that the perpetrators are part of a clan or a gang…

    now even the prime minister a few months ago admitted that there’s a link between immigration and crime which was an absolute taboo for so many years…
    and I mean needless to say gun crime is much lower in Sweden than in Chicago, but that’s not the relevant point of reference, the relevant point of comparison is other scandinavian countries where Sweden really stands out…
    The end.

    Oh, and the icing on the cake from this clearly ungrateful Jewess, whose parents were “saved” from Polish gentiles who had had enough of their incessant whinging….”there is a class aspect and issue of ethnicity”…if much of this was “happening in middle class areas,” well those welcoming Swedes just don’t really care about immigrant children, who must live in these hell-holes created by their violent, clannish, backward culture…(i.e. most of Malmo)

    So, let me get this straight – anyone who calls attention to crimes and violence amongst the immigrant community is called a racist, or a nationalist (God forbid! I wonder who relegated Nationalism to Pandora’s Box?), or xenophobe (she explained earlier that she received death threats after writing an article wherein she alluded to the over-representation of immigrants in violent crime), yet those no longer welcoming, bigoted, Swedes just can’t be bothered to save brown/black children from the nightmare, of their own ethnic making, that is brown/black culture or customs? Yes, with Jewry, that’s how it goes….when antisemitism became the issue, she threw down the gauntlet for Jewry, but she won’t defend the Swedes wholly, will she? Who knew?

    it never resulted in anything close to a ethnic homogeneity across humanity

    This is not true. Europe/Scandinavia was European, by a vast majority, as was America, Canada, Australia. The extreme demographic change began apace after WW2, but mass influx of Eastern European Jews began in America in the late 1800’s.

    All people (and animals) fight amongst themselves; it’s a fact of life. The primary difference is the manner and scope – the Brits would fight enemies on a predetermined field of battle, with spectators present, who were off limits. They established rules/conduct of war. Note that Europe/America did not devolve into a dystopian nightmare due to conflicts – roads were still maintained, universities were still built, society continued to progress, and the lack of extreme local violence, in general, and common interests/identity contributed to said continued progress. Germany was razed to the ground twice, yet still she rose/recovered. So, now she will be destroyed from within. That’s apparently the only way to take us down.

    New Orleans didn’t begin to regress until local blacks became a majority therein and began assuming roles in politics and city management. Pick a city in America with a large black, mestizo, majority; they evolve much differently than those containing White/European majorities. To deny this reality is intellectually dishonest.

    Why would all that masculine fierce-mode action, not arrive at that kind of supposed ethnic Nirvana?

    I’m not sure I understand your point; you seem hyper-focused on intense aspects of masculinity and how it relates to interactions with women, etc. If your point is that traditional masculine qualities were much more necessary when the world was less civilized/more akin to the Wild West, well sure. One or two male lions can clear an entire pack of Hyenas, or just about every other animal group congregating in their territory. Modern society in western nations no longer requires intense propensity for defensive violence or physical endurance/strength, which includes hunting, trapping, building shelters, etc., but masculine energy is still very much required to maintain order, i.e. police, fire, construction, infrastructure, keeping youth in line, so on.

    This “toxic masculinity” mumbo-jumbo is ridiculous. There is certainly toxic femininity, but really, it’s just toxic humanity/people, or out of control people. The lack, or retreat, of proper masculine authority is the cause of the current unraveling of society at local/personal levels.

    Not really getting the supremacist attitude

    It is not an attitude; it is a reality. I don’t “hate” blacks because they are black; I hate what they do, as a group, to western society. Would you rather move to Switzerland or South Africa?

    You may be surprised what this mental exercise may do for your outlook.

    Wild Man, I have jumped through hoops on this multicultural issue, over and over, trying to convince myself that I was wrong; that there was a reasonable or definitive explanation for the differences in races of humans, and the only explanation is that, like lions and tigers, humans are similar in some ways, in general, but our differences create different habits, conduct, and environments. Europeans have been building palaces and universities for centuries, whilst Africans, and some others, build manure/mud huts to this very day. Automobiles, airplanes, electricity, running water….do you understand the absolute chasm that must exist between a group that can explore and improve the entire world and a group that can only maintain a Neolithic existence without interference/assistance? This is not an opinion. Look around.

    Funny thing, would you ever say something like:

    I wonder how many Buddhist temples are being built in Australia these days, and is that an ominous trend?

    of course I would, if the Buddists represented an entirely different people, with an entirely different culture and values and most of all, DNA

    But even if the Buddhists were all Scandinavians, I’d still expect strife when one culture and/or religion invades the nation, (and culture and space) of another.

    This requires the sentience of a sixth grader to comprehend, so it’s isn’t surprising that it’s quite beyond you.

    I mean, what do you think a mosque is and what do you think goes on there?

    I know people who grew up in Hamtramck, MI. I’ve been there. At one time, when I was young, it was an idyllic little town of working and middle class Polish Americans.

    Today it’s a Muslim stronghold, with calls to prayer blasted out loudly, at 5 or 6 am, and then periodically all day long.

    Many people, particularly the elderly, are too poor to leave, so they suffer. (I’m sure that bothers you to no end, eh Revulsky).

    I watched the same thing happen in Miami, only not with Muslims, but with Hispanics and blacks, (mostly Haitians). The white Americans were driven out by loud music and a general hostility, but a few elderly were too poor to leave, and I always pitied them when I’d drive though, (decades ago), and see their homes, with the lone American flag in a sea of Cuban and Puerto Rican and Mexican and all types of Caribbeans who had taken the neighborhoods over by sheer volume of numbers.

    Which, I’m sure being the POS you are, celebrate that kind of thing.

    Like what happened to the ancient land of Kosovo, hard won by centuries of relentless battles of Muslims invading over and over, only to see it handed to Muslim human and narcotics traffickers in the 90s, because they had become a numerical majority though invasion.

    These transformations are always celebrated by anti-white scumbags like you, so don’t expect me to sway you with arguments or logic or reason, when you’re a anti-white ideologue – to the core of your rancid DNA. Convincing you that Muslim immigration into Sweden is a bad thing, would first require you to see the transformation from the Swedish people’s eyes.

    which would be as impossible for you to do, as it would be for me to see Sweden though the eyes of Barbara Spectre, and want to see every last Swede, (and German and Canadian and all the rest of the Alameks) raped out of existence.

    So it’s not about Islam per se, for which I harbor no antipathy. But for all those non-Westerners invading the West, I see them collectively as a plague, and a future of war and hatred and strife. Which are your calling cards, Revulsky. It’s no mystery why you lie about it all, and downplay the rapes and destruction of Swedish society, because you know deep down in your hatred-consumed soul, that you are not a Swede, and never could be. And so you fester in rancor and bile, don’t you? And downplay the rapes and strife and destruction of societies of people who you look at from the perch of malignant envy and hatred.

    ‘there’s not too many rapes going on. It’s just a few, here and there. Diversity is good for the Swedish people’

    Step 1 – make strategic alliances to fight against the common ENEMY OF US ALL. (ie: Jewish Supremacists)

    Thanks TruthV

    here in Sydney most races are (for the most part), getting along.

    Come to America some time, and let me show you around some of our diversity.

    the ENEMY OF US ALL. (ie: ZOG).

    ahh, but ZOG has two immutable imperatives working simultaneously.

    The absolute domination of the Greater Levant,

    and concurrently,

    The absolute destruction of Western civilization and it’s (white) people.

    Over there, I suppose you’re isolated from the latter, (for now) but Australia’s time will come, as I think it’s in the nascent stages. How well is Islamic immigration working out for New Zealand? How well is it working out in France, or Germany?

    Just consider the aborigines, like our American Indians. Yes, they have telephones now and modern medicine, but are those things worth it, when considering that they now live at the pleasure of people who colonized their former lands, where they are no longer the masters of all they survey?

    I suspect our Indians would give up cars and microwaves, just to have their old lifestyles back, and be the lords of their world once again. To be, in a word, free.

    Like I said, I have nothing whatsoever against Islam or Muslims. (In their own lands)

    Just as I have nothing against Hispanics or Asians or blacks or browns or anyone else, in their own lands.

    The historic blacks of America and the ‘Indians’, are all part and parcel of what it means to be an American, and they, of course- have as much right to be here as anyone. Ditto the legacy Spanish and French, and so forth.

    But the newcomers are not coming to build a nation, but rather to scavenge on the carcass of a dying, (((murdered))) nation and its people. Mostly young, single men, they’re being brought here as an army, to accomplish the primary co-imperative of Zionisn/Jewish supremacism, and that is to destroy for all time the one race that was able to prevail over them in modern times, even if it only lasted twelve years. They will Never Forget that, and now their life-long mantra is Never Again!, will we allow white people to threaten our power as a unified block. They must, MUST be destroyed / blended out of existence. How many commercials Down-Under feature an Australian female alongside a non-white male? (in North America and Europe, if you see a white family displayed on a television commercial or billboard, you do a double-take because it’s so rare now).

    The fact that they’re using Muslims (and blacks and browns and Asians and Indians and anyone anywhere they can find to accomplish their prime directive), does in some cases create understandable hostility between the invaders the the targeted host societies slated for destruction/replacement, but how can that possibly be otherwise?

    And if you ask them, when looking at the goal, (to ((them))) – (the strife and hatred and rapes and murders, etc..) are obviously very, very much “worth it”.

    Even, I suspect for some of them, (perhaps a few we may even be familiar with ; ) very enjoyable.

    Back when Miami, (Dade county) was being invaded and transformed, many were at least able to leave. Nowadays, it seems the whole world is being transformed into Multicultural cesspools of hate and strife.

    I hear even Finland, of all places, is dealing with record breaking immigration numbers.

    These Nordic countries and places like New Zealand were (and many still are, for the moment) considered the happiest places to live.

    But that will not last, once the effects of massive and transformational immigration of non-Western peoples really kicks in, and they start to agitate for their own culture and ascendancy, which will happen, as certainly as 2 + 2 = 4

    It isn’t a condemnation of these people or cultures, but there’s a reason a place like Saudi Arabia, (and all sane nations) do not allow transformational numbers of Christians or Westerners (or anyone else) into their societies.

    Because they’re not suicidally insane, or corrupted by the shekels and/or ‘woke’ insanity of Jewish supremacists.

    Could you imagine what it must be like to be raised thinking HaShem chose your people above all the rest and then you see how stunningly beautiful a significant proportion of the dumb goyim truly are?

    You have two options in how you react to this indisputable truth…

    1) if you have a magnanimous soul, you resign yourself to the fact that your learned elders lied to you and that your whole worldview is one Big Lie. Everything you were taught is an inversion of reality. HaShem didn’t choose the Hebrews. Mother Nature chose the White goyim above all the rest.

    2) if you have a petty soul, you stubbornly adhere to the blatant lies you’ve been told your whole life. You grow resentful of these “beautiful” people and wish to destroy them and everything they’ve built. In short, you become a Jewish Supremacist who buys into HaShem’s admonition to “blot out the memory of Amalek.”

    It’s worth recalling that The Greeks were strong believers in the principle of physiognomy. I think this belief is borne out when you consider these two images…

    1. Rabbi Rachel Grant Meyer

    Rabbi Rachel has devoted her entire life to blotting out the memory of Amalek. She has a petty soul.

    2. Jonathon Revulsky

    Unlike Rachel, who is an unapologetic Jewish Supremacist, we have Revulsky who prefers to pretend that he’s a JUWA (short for a Jew on Unz Without an Agenda).

    But, he’s not fooling anyone. With his physiognomy, he’s clearly Rabbi Rachel’s doppelgänger, in every sense of the word.

    He, too, is intent on blotting out the memory of Amalek, but won’t openly admit it. He prefers to hide in the bushes and in engage in pilpul in a feeble attempt to deceive the dumb goyim about his true motivations.

    Earth to Revulsky… gaslighting has its limitations.

    I meant that in terms of the whole human species over the entire globe. You seem to misunderstand the implied context of many of my statements, in sort of a western girly-mode way, … I use that descriptor in terms of my already quite long experience with precisely this dynamic with other western women confronted with similar material, (I see patterns, … I am describing a particular pattern I am again experiencing, here just now), which I tend to just let go, because, too tedious for me otherwise (and the tedium approach doesn’t really work, in any event), but here it is worth pointing out, I think:

    OK, … in that spirit (context?, …? vibe?, ….. method?, …. cognitive approach?, ….. i.e. – what ever you want to call – ‘catching my drift’), when you really think about it, in my obviously implied context (at least obvious to me, and if I pointed that out to a man, in a discussion, he would acquiesce, whereas women will often not … the whole thing is rather fractal-like, to my mind, … the pattern I see, that is, … so let’s see how you take it this time), …. this is true of pretty much any species with enough trait flexibility to inhabit all kinds of diverse regions of the planet, … no? Quite interesting, with respect to the human species context, – no? I wonder why – huh? Could it be because, in the main, race differential gradients are good not bad? Does not the general Darwinian evidence (other such species) show this to be the case? (at least until environmental events may separate them for long enough to cause new speciation).

    Your next two paragraphs following the one I blockquoted above, ….. the thing is, they are not worth responding to (tedium results then), and I have mainly avoided responding to those types of facts you are point to, because it is all besides the point, if you cannot also see what I am counseling, which you seem to refuse to want to hear, for some reason. Don’t keep putting the cart before the horse. What are your solutions to these facts, you point to? I have offered solutions, as based on a very broad perspective (the human perspective?, …. the engram of the human perspective?,….. call it what you will, … the proper Darwinian perspective? – yes!), … and maybe I am reaching (but think not, ….. it seems many professional Darwinists are 3rd-rate, I find out, in later life). Why will you not address, this, the perspective, that I have outlined, as a worthy one? (i.e. – I suppose it may be, that you might think, ..’not worthy’, because it’s as if you don’t even see the perspective I have outlined, the way you respond, …. quite strange, … because I am quite sure that, though I do try to avoid too much tedium, I have said enough for you to realize that I do indeed see all these racial differences you point to, …. plus I see even more than you do, that way, apparently, …. but I process many of these facts differently, within this wider contextual perspective, I have already outlined).

    Now all that I just said in the paragraph above was pretty darn tedious in a different way (in the ‘psychological’ way), … which many people do not like either. So I have said more than enough now, in this vein, it seems to me (but I hope you finally get it).

    So, … finally, … cut to the chase, …. what’s your solution? (i.e. – to the facts you outlined in those two paragraphs).

    Why would all that masculine fierce-mode action, not arrive at that kind of supposed ethnic Nirvana?

    “I’m not sure I understand your point; you seem hyper-focused on intense aspects of masculinity and how it relates to interactions with women, etc. If your point is that traditional masculine qualities were much more necessary when the world was less civilized/more akin to the Wild West, well sure.”

    Well I can’t really, you know, by logical means, understand why your refuse to see that this “hyper-focused on intense aspects of masculinity and how it relates to interactions with women”, is not so much dictated by more recent Darwinian events, when I repetitively tell you so (and other here) time and time again. It is more-so dictated by the wider time frames required for all this generational Darwinian action to happen.

    I dunno TipToe, …you seem pretty bright and well read. You yourself bring up Jordan Peterson’s professional university level psychological offerings (his such lectures). So you would know he talks alot about this one particular Jungian concept within the seeming engramized Jungian sense of the persona, …. which is ‘The Shadow’ aspect that JP talks alot about. So, …. not really getting how you cannot process the perspective I am outlining (inclusive of the primordial aspects obviously, …. when I talk ‘the species’ I means the whole package, which of course then, is at root, also all about the mystery of this mysterious and extremely primordial life-force, …. a concept or ‘quality’ that Physicist Dave abhors, .. the ‘life-force’ that is, but I never did find out why). Engramization (denoting a physical memory process) implies a physical mode, … and such physical-mode will therefore be contingent upon Darwinian timelines. Do you really understand what JP (and Jung) are saying?

    “One or two male lions can clear an entire pack of Hyenas, or just about every other animal group congregating in their territory. ”

    I suppose this particular comment of mine , ends up on the tedious side this time, because you seem so much to want that. OK, .. in that vein, … I really don’t get it (at all), what the fact you provided here, as anything, to do within anything, in regards to the context (humans species)?

    “Modern society in western nations no longer requires intense propensity for defensive violence or physical endurance/strength, which includes hunting, trapping, building shelters, etc., but masculine energy is still very much required to maintain order, i.e. police, fire, construction, infrastructure, keeping youth in line, so on.”

    Yes, and no, …. I think the social ‘order’, at least in the primordial Caucasian west and henceforth, has always been contingent upon both female and male agreement. I think it still is. Much of this infrastructure is very much to the liking of women in particular, for instance. The social power is evenly shared (until it’s not, like now a bit, … weirdly female supremacism parading as victimhood is actually a very big thing in the culture, for quite a long time now, and I used to laugh at it as just a weird anomaly, in the beginning, .. not so much any more though, … it doesn’t seem to be ‘just an anomaly’ anymore, …. but points to an actual catharsis that is needed and is coming, I think, because this phenomenon seems to only be growing and is now causing massive social problems; … and then the gender-sharing of the social power has to revert to mean again, … it always does). This confuses just so many people, because many people cannot really understand covert power (more-so held by women) vs. overt power (more-so held by men) very well.

    You know, …. if you would open your heart just a bit, and see a guy like James Brown in a different light, … you might just be completely blown away, ….. i.e. – and see what actually occurred there in those two back-to-back collaborations I offered earlier (featuring Percy Sledge’s music too,…. and featuring a stupendously-gifted Caucasian collaborator of high musical novelty, …. Canada’s very own David Foster, a superb musical arranger). This group of extremely talented men (both black and white), together, … tell the story, … the western story, … in the most sublimely simple terms, …. and laying it on the line, ….become completely vulnerable, because that’s what it takes, to show our true hearts (and it’s best if us men keep this to a minimum – no? …. maybe it’s not even attractive – right?). TipToe: The men love you. The men love you in a way you really are not capable of loving them back (except for your love of your sons).

    “This “toxic masculinity” mumbo-jumbo is ridiculous. There is certainly toxic femininity, but really, it’s just toxic humanity/people, or out of control people. The lack, or retreat, of proper masculine authority is the cause of the current unraveling of society at local/personal levels.”

    Yes on the ‘toxic people’. I think perhaps what looks to be a retreat of proper masculine authority, is sort of the prime issue here, for you, and girly-mode western white women in general. Because you are misperceiving. It’s both not that (as well as being that). The men ( I mean this at the grassroots level), correctly, slowed right down on direct authoritarian actions, in the face of so many challenging issues arising almost all at once, … one such issue being that the gender dynamic (covert vs. overt power-wise), for a whole host of reasons, has been upended, and does not well reflect out genetic inheritance (i.e. – we can see that because it’s causing so many people to be unhappy and confused). What I am saying is that on the gender front, .. on that big-deal challenge to the status quo, …. women have not given back any covert power (and men don’t really want women to, we love you) but have achieved overt power that women used not to have, .. and it seems it makes many people unhappy and confused. There are many possible solution avenues here. But all such possible solutions start with acknowledging the condition, all round.

    “Wild Man, I have jumped through hoops on this multicultural issue, over and over, trying to convince myself that I was wrong; that there was a reasonable or definitive explanation for the differences in races of humans, and the only explanation is that, like lions and tigers, humans are similar in some ways, in general, but our differences create different habits, conduct, and environments.”

    You know, … I like you partly because you are so frank. Ethnic nationalists are frank. You are quite incorrect (inaccurate that is) to feature this race difference in your mind, as akin to the difference between lions and tigers. I don’t even know what to say. That is very very dumb, Lions and Tigers do not produce fertile offspring, for one simple difference. So much more beyond that, … how is it that you can talk to all other humans but you can’t get any where close to that level of intimate discussion with any other species – huh? It’s like you got a no-good-reason thing against James Brown, or something. Time to let it go, if you know what’s good for you (like sure, … be pissed off all you want about the condition of black culture overall let’s say, …. but then to decide that that puts you above the blacks for evermore, is kind of ridiculous, … and will ensure that you would never be part of the solution then, which maybe it seems that is what you want? To block solutions? You never really say what you expect your men should do with these blacks that are apparently beneath you … why don’t you ever say that part – huh? Alternatively, maybe you just want your men to sort it out, and then claim ‘coolness;’ ownership of that, as your own, later on, after that, like I already speculated?).

    “Europeans have been building palaces and universities for centuries, whilst Africans, and some others, build manure/mud huts to this very day. Automobiles, airplanes, electricity, running water….do you understand the absolute chasm that must exist between a group that can explore and improve the entire world and a group that can only maintain a Neolithic existence without interference/assistance? This is not an opinion. Look around.”

    The key word here is ‘centuries’. For Godsakaes, even the 3rd rate professional Darwinist, with all the weird accolades he received (quite the Jewish norm this – huh?), for his shoddy work, … Jared Diamond (of ‘Germs, Guns and Steel’ fame) didn’t go so far, with bogus timeline arguments around phenotypic trait fixation, to discount Caucasian achievement, in the way you doing same (bogus arguments), around Darwinian timelines, to try for the opposite false claim: That this recent Caucasian achievement explains everything. Do better than massive charlatan Jared Diamond please.

    Hi Geo,

    while I generally agree with you in the main, and certainly regarding Revulsky, Jewish supremacism, and immigration into the West..

    I have to be a bit persnickety, when it comes to this

    Mother Nature chose the White goyim above all the rest.

    I just feel it hints at actual ‘white supremacy’. ‘We’re the best’.

    I don’t feel that way. I think we’re, (white Westerners) different, and deserve to persevere as such, but I wouldn’t characterize our race as ‘above all the rest’.

    African gals can be pretty stunning, in an exotic kind of way

    [MORE]


    and my brother had a thing for her, when we were teenagers

    Jewish gals can be gorgeous, like Barbie Benton or Lauren Bacall

    and it’s the same with all peoples, they all have their gems, Arab, Persian, Indian, (dot and otherwise), even if the gals of Sweden are generally considered uniquely blessed.

    But it isn’t because Western peoples are ‘better’ or not, at least for me.

    But we are unique, and deserve to persevere as such. And any who suggest otherwise, I’m all for treating as the existential enemy, (lowlife scum) they are, white, black, brown or otherwise.

    Then a guy like me gets obsessed with the young Mavis Staples’ voice quality (when she reins it in and manages it well, like she did in that vid I offered upthread, of her and the Staples clan, featuring the ever cool Pops Staples too).

    Of course I know Mavis, as she has aged, has a big tendency to over embellish on that particular voice quality. I’m not focused on that. I am focused on … what the heck is going on there, within that physiology, and that nervous system, to allow this woman, to speak (in singing passionate voice) to everyone like that, men and women alike, … so that we can feel all the aeons of human passion in the face of hardship, dripping from her passion-instrument, … her voice?

    I really can’t get over it. I want to know. Why can she make me feel this way?

    But it isn’t because Western peoples are ‘better’ or not, at least for me.

    Truth be told I tried editing these words, but time ran out. Although I wholeheartedly agree that beauty can be possessed by all peoples, I was mainly thinking about the overall contribution to mankind in terms of scientific inventions, inventions of pedagogical disciplines, and advanced civilization in general, The European man has contributed more than most others.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain what I actually meant by those words that could easily be misconstrued.

    You seem to misunderstand the implied context of many of my statements, in sort of a western girly-mode way, …

    Oh, knock it off already with your girly-mode crap. YOU are all over the place, all the time, and you are often hard to follow. Geez – I thought I was a rambler; you leave me in the dust.

    FYI

    “External Experts and Contractors that Supported the WTC Investigation.
    NIST augmented its in-house technical staff with experts from outside NIST who could contribute significantly to the goals and objectives of the WTC investigation. In most cases, this was accomplished through contracts that included specific deliverables required for successful completion of the investigation. Awarding contracts on technical tasks allowed NIST access to capabilities and expertise available in the private sector and allowed efficient use of in-house staff resources on the WTC investigation. In addition, an administrative services contract was awarded to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in August 2002 to support the two-year investigation.”

    Contracting out investigations is the go to method of controlling an investigation and a great way to compartmentalize information.

    As an example:

    The UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTIST (5,500 EPA scientist) did an in house investigation of the problems they were having with outside interference and the EPA’s contracting out studies was high on their list. See their report INTERFERENCE AT THE EPA.

    Why will you not address, this, the perspective, that I have outlined, as a worthy one? (i.e. – I suppose it may be, that you might think, ..’not worthy’, because it’s as if you don’t even see the perspective I have outlined, the way you respond, …. quite strange,

    Why don’t…if it’s at all possible, I don’t think it is…..you just…if it is within the realm of possibility for you, I don’t know, maybe there’s a caffeine overload happening here, or maybe something stronger, like meth? (too much drill rap, if I’m honest, I think)…ask a simple…of course, depending upon how you might define simple…it is indeed hard for one in the perpetual Sasquatch mode to simplify complicated subjects…is a rose by any other name still a flower? Or, maybe it is still sweet? Have you ever tried to grow rose bushes? What a pain, all those thorns…I digress… Do you have jungle fever? Hell, Yes….but, no matter…cohesive…again how does one define cohesive? Does a bear crap in the woods? If we installed outhouses in bear territory, all in a row, would that be their preference? A cohesive Crap House Row for Bears…makes sense, yes? or no?….damn question?

    It’s always been my understanding that the purpose of the written word, was to distill and convey thought, in a way that your reader can comprehend, absorb, ponder, and respond to, in a similar fashion, as to foster some kind of back and forth conversation.

    Your writing style, abuse of punctuation, and endless run-on sentences with multiple changes of thought and inflection contained within, does not lend itself to that process.

    In essence, I cannot make heads or tails of whatever it is that you are trying to say… and I thought Jung-Freud was hard to follow…

    You are a supremacist and that is very weird (and also hilarious, given the main topic, here at UR). And then you make out it’s not weird and not kinda dumb-hypocrite-hilarious. Then I give you a break due to the completely obvious girly-mode propensity (not just you, either, I mean, .. us guys do that for your ladies all the time), try for a more abstract approach. But you didn’t like that approach stylistically or something(?), and so you didn’t really address much of the prime content of that new approach, because you didn’t like it as potty mouth or something? or because by the female prerogative, it’s suppose to be OK all round, for you to pretend that content isn’t there, for maybe the 10th time? So I try for softer language (which probably wasn’t it in any event, but whatever) and you no like. You Girly.

    You tease Colin for hemming and hawing on making a point, coming from a woman with no point, because when repetitively asked for it, she no give. What do you want your men to do about the black people that are beneath you and nuisance to you?

    Well OK, … thank-you for that valid criticism. It’s just typing it out like I was speaking with someone. And in convos there are all kinds of those interesting and peripherally pertinent asides (at least in all the very best and most stimulating ones I have ever been on the receiving end of).

    Your message: My style does not translate in writing. OK. I guess I should try to do better, and be less lazy and edit afterwards, before posting (I just edit for spelling mostly because I am a very terrible typer and just try to get it out quick whilst typing). In convos (and here too) my mind produces dozens and dozens of avenues of potential side street considerations, and in the moment on the fly (like everyone else I think) edit almost all of those as worthless pursuits in the present circumstance (often simply for only social reasons, too), and so don’t entertain those.

    Thank-you for that. I’ll try to do better. Maybe the take away is: In written communication, .. the less asides the better? I’ll ponder that. Maybe a couple are OK – yes?

    I am still attempting to dissect/translate your 2,000 word tome on….I don’t know what.

    What you continue to do is suggest that I am not actually out-arguing you on anything because, you – Man, are actually/obviously correct, and I – girly, just will not concede a point, when the Man is clearly correct, by virtue of the fact that Man is usually correct, whilst girly just slings girly-mode about as a defense.

    Then I give you a break…

    Oh, please; don’t bother, as I don’t need it.

    But you didn’t like that approach stylistically or something(?

    You have got to be kidding? If a reader MUST read your prose/passage over and over and over to determine what in the world you are stating/asking, then you have a composition problem. Don’t get all in a huff over criticism; come on, Wild-Man up and take it like a girly. Don’t think for a minute I haven’t been sent a critique over too-long sentences and meandering; I didn’t whine about it; I just did a bit more editing.

    given the main topic, here at UR

    Which is?

    you didn’t really address much of the prime content

    WildlyHypocritical Man, you leave many a question and/or comment unanswered and/or unaddressed.

    You tease Colin for hemming and hawing on making a point

    Colin and I have a history from other threads; I didn’t just pounce on him on this thread. He made some suggestion that I couldn’t possibly have read as many books on anything as he, and then he said he was off to poison Sea Lions, or something….(I’m exaggerating a bit, but that’s the gist).

    What do you want your men to do about the black people that are beneath you and nuisance to you?

    Well, no more immigration from black nations; all illegals deported post haste; no more affirmative action; no more DEI (Didn’t Earn It); they are asking for separation – give it to them. Totally. No more saving of Africans in Africa – we can trade, and if we are invited therein, it must be mutually beneficial; all South African Boers/Whites get a free trip to America, citizenship, and they can divvy up the welfare money that will be removed from Africans, who don’t need no White Man to get along; they can tax each other in their new Black zones or ask Beyonce and Jay Z for the cash; no more forced integration; freedom of association will be returned to Americans, and we can start with Rice University, which was given an endowment by it’s benefactor for a free education for White students only; White scholarships, White clubs, White/European interest groups can be available and proclaimed; the truth about slavery will be mandated in White schools, as will the truth about MLK, and The Bell Curve will be a textbook, and maybe Erectus Walks Amongst Us…..that’s a start.

    Oh, and when I rule all of the New Great White North America, YOU are off to The Congo, Port-au-Prince, South Africa, maybe Caracas, on an education mission, then if you survive, you will be dropped into the Black zone, after you have renounced the appropriation of all White culture/technology, like music on a radio, auto travel, air conditioning, running water, etc….I think there is information online about mud/manure hut construction. We can bring over a few Masai Men to show you how, and I’ll throw in a Masai girl, a girly-one, just to keep you happy. If you live, that is.

    Out of Africa theory:
    To summarize the ‘official’ version, as the story goes, some 50-70.000 years ago homo-sapiens ventured out of Africa and spread to the rest of the world. Widely implied and understood result is that all living people trace their lineage to some group of people living in Africa back then and since some odd 50.000 years are just a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, we are all pretty much the same.

    Some people have problems with this view and therefore consider the Out of Africa theory to be wrong. At least for some of them – it must be wrong, so they attack the theory the best they can, but frequently mix stronger arguments with bad and then proceed to loose the script and their credibility.

    After reading a bit about this and checking few recent videos from top experts I think we have a bit different story: The out of Africa theory is basically correct – but that doesn’t mean we all share the same ancestry from 50.000 years ago.

    The strongest proof we all come from Africa is the fact that continent has the greatest genetic diversity of them all. And a single gene, shared by all people on Earth can be traced to a single source with roots in Africa. Even a certain gut-bacteria, found in all people has great diversity in Africa, and little elsewhere. Many recent genetic studies support the theory.

    But here is the rub, the African diversity. It turns out scientists have already mapped some of this diversity and a great place to start is checking out this wikipedia page about genetic history of Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Africa

    It’s worth mentioning that Africa lost some of this diversity only 2-4000 years ago in what’s called the Bantu expansion. A group of Africans, the Bantus became successful, increasing their numbers and they spread out and moved a lot across the continent. In the process they mixed with and/or annihilated other groups, rendering the place more genetically homogenic or less diverse. Blending several different groups together into one so to speak in my layman’s terms.

    But at the time our ancestors left Africa, it’s clear there were several distinct groups of people in Africa. And they were genetically somewhat different. Perhaps some more than others. Check out the wiki link above and you can see a list of 7 such groups. Here is one example, this seems to be “us”:

    “Ancestral Eurasians” represent the ancestral population of modern Eurasians shortly before the Out-of-Africa expansion; they are inferred to have diverged from other African populations, most likely somewhere in Northeast Africa, c. 70,000 years ago.

    And another group:

    “Ancient East Africans” or “Ancestral West/East Africans” associated with the common ancestor of modern Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan-speakers originated around 28,000 years ago[…]….[…] Genetic data indicates affinity for older hunter-gatherer groups in East Africa, but their exact relationship remains unclear.[10][e] There is evidence for limited geneflow (9-13%) from a human ghost lineage, referred to as ‘West African foragers’ with a deeper or equally deep divergence time than ‘Khoisan hunter-gatherers’, into modern West Africans.[16][17]

    I don’t know much about all this gene stuff but I find it a bit strange to use the term “limited” when describing 9-13% of genes. Perhaps this is a touchy subject, discussion on the same page indicates it is indeed. But enough about that.

    What this means is this group of Africans had considerable part of it’s genes coming from an unknown ancestor that split from the family tree perhaps over a million years ago. That ancestor is for example much “older” than the Neanderthals or Denisovnas. Perhaps 500.000 years and likely more resembling homo erectus than say homo-sapiens.

    I dug up the study about the “ghost lineage” and found it interesting. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7015685/
    Few quotes:

    We provide complementary lines of evidence for archaic introgression into four West African populations. Our analyses of site frequency spectra indicate that these populations derive 2 to 19% of their genetic ancestry from an archaic population that diverged before the split of Neanderthals and modern humans.

    One interpretation of the recent time of introgression that we document is that archaic forms persisted in Africa until fairly recently (33). Alternately, the archaic population could have introgressed earlier into a modern human population, which then subsequently interbred with the ancestors of the populations that we have analyzed here. The models that we have explored here are not mutually exclusive, and it is plausible that the history of African populations includes genetic contributions from multiple divergent populations, as evidenced by the large effective population size associated with the introgressing archaic population.

    Relatively, recent fossils with archaic features (or combinations of archaic and modern human features) have been found in the fossil record in Africa and the Middle East. While anatomically modern humans appear in the fossil record around 200,000 years ago, fossils with a combination of archaic and modern features can be found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East until as recently as 35,000 years ago (34). Examples of these fossils include a cranium from Iwo Eleru (33) and human remains from Ishango (35) that have been interpreted as being consistent with deep structure and representing a complex history of interaction between modern and archaic hominins in Africa.

    It looks like they are saying archaic humanoids were roaming around in Africa until fairly recently. The group that left Africa to populate the rest of the planet has very limited relations to these archaic humanoids. However the people who didn’t leave Africa, at least some groups, mixed with them, perhaps just before, during and after the exodus of homo-sapiens. Later the Bantu expansion caused these groups to merge to some extent resulting in the current population we see in Africa today.

    This may leave plenty of room for speculation about genetic differences between Africans and the rest of the world. I am not sure diversity is necessarily strength in this case.

    I don’t get it. I think there is an Irish club somewhere on my side of town, that nobody seems to go to, that I ended up at once, because of Polish friend’s event, if I remember right, a long time ago (but ye gad there are Irish types all about here, … the men look sort of like the bassist Flea for the most part). Some of those could fit in my extended family somewhere, those Flea-types …. the lean people with the crazy eyes. They do all kinds of crazy stuff. And have fun. And are pretty much fearless. Except of their own selves a bit. And who they are, are lovers (almost like a default emotion). But it’s not like you think. It’s not Irish fun per se. It’s all round fun. I think the way you talk, what would happen is that these guys would just stare at you with a blank face, smile very genuinely when solicited, totally non judgemental, and really not comprehend what your beefs are all about, and carry on talking to you anyways, because they genuinely like people so much, and so will naturally like you, too. Doesn’t fit with their overall experience. Alot of these Irish heritage dudes like all kinds of different women, for instance, and are extremely non-judgemental, and live and let live types. They like old people too. They seem to like everybody. The older ones, …. their eyes only shine, all the time. What happens is the older they get, the eyes get even shinier and they get even more nonjudgmental and world-lover-types.

    So I dunno, …. it already runs in parts of the family, cousins and such, and so maybe that is me too (I got the shiny eyes for instance, …and they got far shinier as I aged, like these other dudes).

    Or maybe it was a Portuguese event at that Irish club? No, … probably I have been to all kinds of those, especially the Azores events (Me love the Azoreans – they did right by me), and they got their own good venues. Mmmm? Years ago, I did a big event celebration in my life at the Italian Cultural Center. Treated me and my clan real good. Top notch kitchen (back at that time). Don’t think it was an Italian event then, at the Irish club. Couldn’t be a Ukrainian event, … been to those and Ukrainian cultural venues are widely available (the Ukrainian Men’s Choir performance wasn’t bad). Maybe it was the Catholics? Oh no, that was the annual drinking party they put on in one of the posh downtown hotels, …. how can I forget those?, I attended many ….. Friars ,…. they are all a bunch of Friars in Friars robes and heck I can’t tell what the heck the ethnicity is, … they all look like friars. The old archbishop, Irish, (not the new one) was one good-natured drunk, though. They raise alot of money at these friars balls. An extremely good place to watch the tuxedoed men’s predator’s sexual gaze in action, all over, in dizzying array all over the ballroom, … the be-gowned elite catholic women, most cheerfully drinking in all the focused male-gaze attention (while everyone is getting pretty sloshed). Jeez, … there is that voluptuous and very attractive Italian lawyer women, a client of mine over there, beckoning me, … I’ll go talk to her. The Latvians have their own deal too. Did a singing gig for them and learned the Latvian national anthem. So, stayed for dinner. This is a few years ago now (long long before Ukraine war). The Latvians are extremely paranoid about the Russians, I found out. Contracted to do a funeral singing gig for an African dude with some technical skills and had a good job that died from cancer (white widow). That one was a bit weird because it was euthanasia. There are pow wows. There are gay parades. There are Greta Thunberg marches. On outskirts of town, in satellite cities, there even were Sunday night rumbles in empty parking lots featuring the Proud Boys banging heads with Antifa, back before covid that is. Heard that through the grape-vine from someone in my family who attended (and I’m not going to say for which side, but not the side that later was deemed a terrorist organization by every single Canadian MP, back in those Trump days). Wut? I thought. You attended that, I thought? Don’t ever again I counseled, my young foolish but very good natured extended-family member. But turns out he has a passion for Lucha Libre, my very big muscular and beefy young very Irish-phenotype family member, and makes Lucha Libre vids for fun, and is maybe now doing some matches too, and hanging out with Mexcian Lucha Libre performers, I am hearing. What a crazy world – hey?

    Doesn’t that mean that there are already white clubs and White/European interest groups? Like, Scottish dancing is a big deal among some of the women in my clan (but then so is endurance bicycle-racing in the mountains, and even full-menu iron man). Mmmm. Had a buddy at work that decided to do the good ole Scottish games and you know, dominate the caber toss worldwide. I really don’t think he did it because he was Scottish though. It’s because the weightlifting was getting boring apparently. He had taken up weightlifting way back in order to improve his prospects of getting to the NHL, … but was still too small at my height, … but dude was about 220 of brute muscle, got down to under 200 to win the caber toss though, over in the Scottish Highlands (one of my ancestorial parts too) in that weight category.

    Sonny just came by. Haven’t seen him in months. I think Sonny is probably native. Or is he Metis? Looks more native. Does it matter? No, not really, .. it is just Sonny. But once upon a time Sonny would be happy to break your face if you provoked him (back in the day with my good buddy Kevin that he often hung with, who was from Texas, and I guess was German ancestry), who stayed with me, (Kevin the Texan that is) on his last legs in this life, and knowing it and not saying it, and being just the best bud a guy could ask for, for a few weeks there, he stayed with me, after a stay in the Remand Center, but since died, … but Sonny would sort of do that as a personal favor to you, the one, that needs to get beat up type of thing (Kevin would do it too, …. oh the froggy delights! … men punching each other hard now and then, what’s not to like), … but would say so first, … and then wouldn’t get mad at all, … just beat up the other guy, very calmly. Sonny is my size, in height but probably 180 now, by the looks of him (more muscular earlier though, … me too I guess, I was once 190 or more). He has mellowed with age. Probably doesn’t feel like offering that kind of advice now, I imagine. I helped him lift something in my back yard into his truck. The young big guy he brought tried with Sonny. No go. Sonny and me, easy peasy. I’m 160 pounds. Gabe, …. the full native young man that I got to do my roof this past summer, is maybe 5’6″ and 140 pounds and he is stronger than me, and fights mma (I didn’t even get a boom truck, …. he hand bombed the shingle bundles up the ladder all by himself, like a machine, and drank about 2 gallons of water and 5,000 calories a day, … I fed him too).

    One of my other buddies was renting a farm site this past summer. Things went south at the end with the landlord. East Indian landlord. Everybody gets mad. Everybody starts going ethnic-mode a bit. There were some East Indian employees of the LL’s there. Some white guys about too, new tenants, (who knows what ethnicity, I guess they are all more or less just ‘white’ to me). After my buddy and the landlord get mad and go ethnic-mode a bit, …. that vibe lasts maybe ‘an hour?, … before, no, everyone has a different opinion on it and it doesn’t matter white, East Indian, employee of Landlord, or anything, and the whole thing just dissipates (after my buddy got the police out there though) into what it actually was, … just a typical tenant/LL dispute. I guess Canada is a free country where you can say your piece maybe? My buddy has native friends too. Earlier during the summer, he picked up a native girl, who was wandering down the highway in a bikini and stilettos with rhinestones on them, and brought her back to the farm site, to make his girlfriend jealous. Crazy. He gives tall crazy, but nice looking, native girl, in the very very skimpy bikini, one of the puppies, one of his dogs had a bit ago, and I happened to be there, and was driving back into town, and so my buddy asks me to give her a lift. I did. Native gang her family is in, I learn. HA associated. She is going now to live with her Mom in a condo right by a great big huge city park. Nice, perfect for new puppy. There she goes wobbling on those rhinestoned stilettos!

    I got to know a particular pretty big East Indian Muslim group in my city pretty well. That was years ago. Told me all about Israel, pretty much like it now is, but in 1991, without much fuss at all, .. just matter of fact like. Open discussion at the work lunch table, you know. Jeez it seems like they know how to do things. One of my employees died. I end up as some sort of special honored guest at the mosque at this man’s large funeral. Pretty gracious people. And wow do they ever try to take care of everybody in the community via that mosque. Everybody able bodied and all that have to volunteer all the time.

    And there are festivals, and these are jazz themed, and food themed, and comedy themed. A Caribbean festival too. Pretty sure there is a gay one too. (along with Pride Parade), .. at least there were gay parties my very conservative company sponsored for Pride Parade days, back in the day, at the prime downtown real estate portfolio, I worked at. And there is singing in the park (me and my other many buds, …this time my singing buddies, who are completely different kinds of buddies, artsy instead of froggy, ….. we do that in the summer time, in a pagoda)

    I got other white buds, I came up with, that really like the Rastafarians and their music (all hail Bob Marley and Peter Tosh type-thing). I have known many Jamaicans myself and employed some.

    There are mental hospitals and psychiatric wards. I visited someone in the mental hospital a few times and met all kinds of crazy interesting people on lots of psychiatric drugs, … the place is sex city too. Crazy. Then our singing group have sung in the big hospital psych wards too. There are inner city homeless people facilities. We have sung there. There are cathedrals. We have sung there. There is the women’s federal penitentiary. We have sung there (what a hoot that was…. the ladies were in male-thirst-mode, and there was only one froggy one in the bunch, and they sniff that out immediately, and that’s me — what fun). We have sung at busking locales in many places.

    It feels like I sort of just gave you an overview of like, .01 % of my life. I didn’t even tell you about my cross-denominational church going experiments before covid came, the black Christians I met among them, or my crazy 100-rapid-shooting-run in the foothills river with Kevin and my Canadian Tire canoe, or about the snow, and riding the bike in the winter, and dirt biking in the boonies, or about the mosquitoes, and mountain climbing, and double-black-diamond skiing in the Canadian Rockies, and parkour, and hockey, and neighborhood rinks, or my first little nest egg I earned with a flyer route that was one square mile and 800 houses at the age of about 11, and racing cars, and girlfriends, and how many philosophers, like me, exist in my city (a ton of men of philosophical-bent in my city, Jeez I forgot my brilliant mathematical Berber friends … constant philosophy – right there!), or what I know about the cloistered convent life. I could go on and on, and continue to give novel situations, I found myself in. It seems almost endless. So I just don’t get it. The overall theme (of all these experiences taken together) ends up being like I have already provided you. So I just don’t get it. Maybe there is something wrong with you, maybe? Why would you have such different experiences than me?

    “Oh, and when I rule all of the New Great White North America”

    You wouldn’t be able to rule here with that attitude. It wouldn’t fly (at all). No one would ever have your back. You would be laughed out of town, actually. It wouldn’t even be: ‘ick – there is a disgusting supremacist over there’ (people generally don’t like supremacists TipToe, … but I’m not disgusted, more or less perplexed like the demeanor of the dudes of Irish heritage I mentioned earlier), .. it would be hahahahaha!, …. oh my she got a good one going on there (a good delusion, bless her soul), … those Irish dues would say that in the end, and hope you might sort it out for yourself, … non-judgmental.

    I am gonna go to Texas and find out for myself, what is going on with the likes of you. One of my brothers spent some time down in the Carolinas (or maybe that was Virginia) and told me that there really are a whole lot of crazy white supremacists in those parts. I didn’t believe him (I thought these were only very few in number, and otherwise, you would only find ethnic nationalists in some abundance, … this discussion with my brother was in the aftermath of Charlottesville, and the stuff I read, here among other places, seemed to indicate that it was erroneous to conclude that the whole Charlottesville thing was about supremacists because instead it was only about ethnic nationalists .. like Trump even basically said so, at the time). Maybe readerships are being bamboozled on that though, and perhaps my brother’s anecdotes are correct? I am going to tour the US. extensively, and find out for myself. Ethnic nationalism is one thing (what’s wrong with celebrating your roots? … nothing). Supremacism though, …. hard to believe you are still going for that. I guess my brother might be right. Because you wouldn’t talk that way unless people have your back. Wow, … it turns out maybe America is the much more-so broken country and not Canada, maybe? You are so relentlessly weird, I need to find out now.

    Kevin was raised in Texas and lived a good part of his adult life there. Kevin wasn’t like you though. Kevin had native girlfriends (among other types too …. an Icelandic gal was a huge early influential girlfriend, for Kevin, … I think he talked to her his whole life after that too, though she went back to Iceland). Kevin had a deep need for female companionship, but he loved all women. I just took Kevin to be a typical Texan (his brother was the same, ….. Steve’s dead now too). I talked to their Mom in Texas on the phone and she seemed nice. How is it that you see fewer black people where you are, than I do here in Alberta?

    I can only speak from anecdotal experience and here in Sydney most races are (for the most part), getting along.

    Well, I can say the same about where I live, in Spain. Granted, for the most part might be considered a bit of a hedge, but really, people are basically getting along.

    Now, I’ve never been to Sweden myself, but it just doesn’t make sense to me that the situation would be so radically different there. Does it make sense to you?

    Are you aware that this whole propaganda campaign of Sweden as the rape capital of Europe and so on comes from the Zionists? Specifically, Gatestone Institute seems to be the source of so much of it. That, and Zionist propaganda organs like Breitbart. I think this whole assertion that Sweden is the “rape capital of Europe” comes from this article. That is from back in 2015, nearly a decade ago.

    There is a chart in there that purports to show that there is 40 times as much raping going on in Sweden as in Canada, for example. Do you find that statistic credible? In any case, if somebody really is anti-Zionist, shouldn’t the origin of all this material give one pause?

    Are you really not aware that this is just a troll account? It claims to be some woman from Texas. That is possible, but I doubt it. In any case, there is no particular reason to believe anything that entity claims.

    I do actually tend to think that you are some guy who lives in Alberta. But, that said, I have no way of knowing for sure. But assuming that you’re for real, I would really make the friendly suggestion that you not invest so much energy in trying to communicate with some troll account like that.

    Did you kill him?

    How is it that you see fewer black people where you are, than I do here in Alberta?

    The vast majority of blacks have mostly lived in Houston, Texas, and East Texas, like Beaumont; East Texas is adjacent to Louisiana, so….the black belt of the south has been Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia; Florida and South Carolina have relatively large black populations, as well.

    So, I checked Calgary’s Wanted List –

    Ali, Mohamed Ahmed (B)
    Amer, Abdullah (ME)
    Amer, Talal Mohamed (ME)
    Amha, Emanuel Jess (B)
    […]
    Marac, Mawien (B)
    […]
    Tut, William (B!)
    […]
    Bringing it home – Yuce, Umit (ME)

    Of the 46 listed, only 16 were White. Only 3 were women. Can we therefore deduce that women are not as criminal as men? They don’t appear in large numbers on any Wanted List anywhere. So, it’s acceptable, and obvious, to say women are less violent/criminal than men, but we CAN’T admit that White men are less criminal/violent than other groups? According to the demographics report for Calgary in 2021, whites were 57.98 % of the population, Africans were 5.16%, and Middle Eastern were 3.29%. And, women are 50.4 %.

    In 2001, Whites were 80.2% of the population. There is writing on the wall, but you and your ilk choose not to read it. The Bolsheviks left a bit of writing on the wall, and look what happened.

    So…..bury your head in the sand, Sasquatch Man, and maybe learn to take criticism from a White woman. I’m fairly certain industrious black women enjoy your cuckery; I think black men are less docile, so float your boat, but bear in mind that blacks tend not to swim…they don’t seem to like water….maybe that’s why the “oldest human group” on the planet never made it across the oceans until Jewish merchants started shipping them around the world…do Jews swim? I’ve never seen one in the pool….I think Jews hire their swimmers…..you know, they like to farm out their labor….is swimming laborious? I don’t think they like farming/plowing either? Do you like plowing, Sasquatch? Anyway, so that may be a good exit strategy for you, and one day soon, exit you will.

    and since some odd 50.000 years are just a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, we are all pretty much the same.

    I think it goes without saying that human civilization is much older than the accepted narrative. Whether the withholding of accurate historical information is deliberate or intentional, I can’t say, but throughout history, many scientists who questioned the accepted doctrine had their careers ruined or their funding withdrawn, etc.

    So, perhaps you have looked into the work of Graham Hancock? His reporting/investigations are based solely on human history, with no leanings, whatsoever, with regard to race, yet he is labeled a White Supremacist, and I think that’s rather telling about the information he is revealing.

    Here are a few excerpts from Erectus Walks Amongst Us, Richard D. Fuerle –

    Key: OoE – Out of Eurasia; OoA – Out of Africa; mya – million years ago; ya – years ago; lca – last common ancestor

    The OoA story is that all species of Homo, including even Heidi and the Neanderthals, evolved in Africa. Early man, e.g., erectus, migrated out of Africa, but did not evolve into modern man outside of Africa. The evolution of erectus into sapiens happened only in Africa, by about 160,000 ya, most likely in NE Africa. That raises the immediate questions, “If modern man was in Africa 160,000 ya, why are today’s Africans still primitive according to all the traits discussed in Section Il?” Did present day Africans de-evolve from more advanced ancestors and become more primitive?
    Another question that pops to mind is, “Why would tropically-adapted Africans leave Africa 65,000 ya when that was right in the middle of the first ice age (about 73,000 to 55,000 ya, and large numbers of cold-adapted Eurasian hominids were moving south?”
    And, one last question, “Why did African erectus become sapiens, rather than Asian or European erectus, especially since the environment in Eurasia was more selective for modern traits and the pay-off for becoming Hss was greater there?” The OoA answer to that question is that evolving into Ass was a chance event and Africa just got lucky.
    However, as discussed previously (Chapter 4, FN 12), chance is overrated as an explanation for biological phenomenon.

    The OoE tree is very different from the OoA tree. In the OoA tree, beginning with a primitive primate, which probably lived in Africa, there was an early expansion of erectus out of Africa, then man evolved from erectus into modern man entirely within Africa until 65,000 ya, when modern Africans left Africa, replaced non-modern Eurasian Homo species, and evolved into today’s Asians, who then evolved into today’s Europeans.
    The OoE tree also begins with a primitive primate, but in Asia, not Africa, and the African, Neanderthal, Caucasian, and Asian lineages split over 2 mya. In OoA, the Africans evolved without any contact or help from any Eurasian hominoid, but in OoE Africans evolved very little on their own, and advanced primarily by receiving multiple infusions of Eurasian alleles as a result of interbreeding with more evolved Eurasian hominoids who migrated multiple times in to Africa. Thus, in OoE, there were (at least) four races of Australopithecus before man, Homo, evolved, and those races evolved into the races we see today. Although OoA holds that Europeans evolved from Asian migrants into Europe about 46,000 ya, OoE holds that Europeans and Asians evolved separately all the way back to Australopithecus over 2 mya, though with significant interbreeding. Also, in OoE there has been some interbreeding between Europeans and Neanderthals but, at least until recently, OoA held that there was no interbreeding.
    Although OoA takes the egalitarian view that all the people alive today are modern (Hss), under OoE, some s-S Africans and South Pacific aborigines are Hss-erectus hybrids, archaic Hs, or even late erectus.

    We will call the promoters of OoA, the dominant theory of our time, “afrocentrists.” They believe that it was the African erectus that evolved into Hs and that Hs evolved into Hss in Africa, then those modern African Hss migrated out of Africa “replacing” all the more primitive people who were then living in Europe (Neanderthals) and Asia (Homo erectus). Once those modern Africans moved into Eurasia, they lost all the African traits described in Section Il and evolved all the Eurasian racial traits we see in today’s Asians and Europeans. That theory is consistent with egalitarianism because OoA holds that not very long ago all modern humans were Africans, so recently, in fact, that everyone is still virtually genetically the same, and therefore equal, particularly in behavior, intelligence, and the capacity for learning, but excepting “very superficial features like skin color and hair form.”

    When the ice eventually receded, the survivors, who were in a haplogroup within the M or N macrohaplogroups, repopulated Asia and Europe. As the populations expanded, mutations occurred, producing other haplogroups within the M and N macrohaplogroups. The mDNA of today’s Eurasians has less variation than African mDNA, not because Eurasians are younger than Africans, but because female Eurasians who had mDNA that was not in the M and N macrohaplogroups did not survive the ice ages…
    The ice age bottlenecks that the Eurasians suffered through had very little affect on tropical Africa. Before agriculture (about 12,000 ya), the tropics (African and Asian) supported populations that were much greater (per unit area than the temperate Eurasian populations, more than enough to account for the higher variations in Africans.

    Behavioral Traits
    A propensity for violence is a primitive behavioral trait…. A propensity for violence correlates with physical traits such as a protruding jaw and large mouth (for biting), strong, dense bones and larger muscles, as well as behavioral traits, such as impulsiveness and the inability to plan for the future, all of which are higher in blacks….

    Genes
    The “smoking gun” that proves primitiveness beyond question is genes. If a population has the same alleles that the great apes have, and other populations do not have those alleles, then that population is more primitive. Genetics has just begun to determine the distribution of different alleles among people across the Earth, but the use of chimpanzee and gorilla alleles to identify Africans as the “ancestral” population (i.e., Africans have alleles that chimps and gorillas have, but Eurasians do not have) is widespread.
    More recent work is identifying the genes responsible for important traits, such as intelligence and the propensity towards violence. So far, it is known that a few of the alleles thought to be responsible for high intelligence, of the genes microcephalin (“MCPHI”) and ASPM, are rare or absent in Africans. Eventually, all of the alleles responsible for the racial differences in traits will be identified, and their distribution is expected to coincide with the racial distribution of those traits.

    Intelligence
    Low average intelligence in a population is the most important primitive trait as intelligence has increased over millions of years and it is the defining trait of humans. It is now well-accepted by psychologists that blacks have a lower intelligence.

    Civilizations and Accomplishments
    The inability to create and maintain a civilization or to accomplish much of any note are primitive traits, as earlier hominoids were capable of neither; nor are today’s Africans.

    Europeans, whose lineage originated in West Asia, in between the Neanderthals and the East Asians, are the most generalized of the three major races. Because they came from a zone in between the hot tropics and the cold north they did not become anatomically specialized for either. And, because living Africans and Asians, and the extinct Neanderthals, are all more anatomically specialized than the Europeans, the European lineage must go back to before those specializations occurred, making Europeans the descendents of the generalized Australopithecus and the most ancient living people.
    The genetic evidence, however, shows a much more recent LCA for man – and suggests that that LCA was in Africa because Africans have the greatest amount of genetic variation. Genetic dating is based on the amount of variation in the alleles – a population that has a greater number of different alleles is assumed to have been around longer because mutations accumulate over time. The assumption that greater variation equals greater age is not always true, however, because there are other ways of accumulating more variation besides mutations. Africans have more variation because, over at least hundreds of thousands of years, all sorts of hominoids have migrated into Africa and mated with populations that were already there, infusing a large variety of different alleles into their gene pool. Asians have more variation than Europeans not because they are more ancient, but because the Europeans, already smaller in numbers, were decimated much more by Toba and the ice ages than the Asians and lost much of the variation that they had accumulated.

    I will guess it’s the English equivalent of Never Again!

    Just this very morning, I left to run a quick errand to a location about 5-6 miles away. I saw two black men, not too young, riding bicycles, wearing backpacks; one along the roadway, the other circling in the parking lot; this is something not routinely observed prior to The World According To Robinette/Mayorkas. It is now commonplace.

    About a month ago, I was approached in a grocery store parking lot by an older black man on a bicycle, no backpack, and he told me of his hard luck story, and how he had come up from Louisiana, and could I spare a dime? I asked, “How did you arrive to [Whoville]? He said, “Oh, they brought us in a van.” I asked, “Who’s they?” He answered, “I don’t know.”

    So, I wasn’t whacked upside the head, nor raped, so I suppose I’m wrong about all of this wing-nut nonsense.

    It’s funny how people think others lie, when they post anonymously, on the internet. There is an interesting psychology to the whole thing, that would take a paragraph or two, but fuck that. All I’m gonna say is, I no like that cunt-move you calling me a liar, you got that, sweetie? My demeanor sort of changes when that happens – see? I’m with Sonny on that, and it’s fun (because we both Love Our Mamas so bad because our Mamas loved us so bad, …. we can’t never lift a hand to you, and never will, because our Mamas raised us good, because she gave her open hearted love to us, her boys, in both cases). Like I said, … we all have our sadistic streaks, juts like good ole PhysicistDave, … and I don’t like yours, and you haven’t seen mine, sweetie (you never will). Please refrain from calling me a liar though, … and no I’m not going to go and look at your stupid clip dummy (wtf do I care what somebody else says about it, …. I am telling you what happened).

    On the cuck thing. Maybe it is (like from far far away, across internet land, from where I sit, in Alberta) that Tex dudes (like Kevin and Steve) are so fucking in love with girly-mode, … they spend their whole lives chasing that and then enjoying that, and will do pretty much whatever their ‘women’ whoever that may be, … (many many women beyond Texas white women),… want them to, for a long, long, long time anyways. And these guys busted heads, (mano-o-mano, …. often over women, … especially Steve, … talk about a strong guy) yet, root default emotion (especially Kevin, I think), … was ‘lover of this world’. Kevin really, really, really loved this world, and everything in it, especially women, but was always getting into some sort of trouble. Kevin had shiny eyes sometimes. Weirdly, … none of this made Kevin a cuck, though. Because he knew all this about himself, of course. And did it anyways (Steve too, I think). Crazy – huh? Man’s love of women. Which, generally, you got no clue (except for your boys if you are any kind of decent person, yourself, that is),

    I’m not chasing any women now, for quite a long time now too, and I imagine that isn’t going to change for some time yet. We will see when the time comes. I have to say, ….. I am in love with women, I guess, because of the girly-mode, … sort of like I can’t help it, ….. it gets to me, ….. and that is completely the usual with men (maybe especially white men, maybe even more-so for the NW Europeans), and it’s not just white women (but I have been suggesting this trait is even more-so accentuated perhaps, as you move NW across Europe, genotypically, among women, … with a correlative male trait accentuation). But whatever, … you sort of pissed me off, and I’m grumpy now and so I don’t feel like telling you anything more than that about my personal life, at the moment, because this is the usual thing … you all go on pretending that you are vacuous cunts, all the time, and expect the world to agree with you that you are not pretending no-how and how dare you on the ‘vacuous’ and the ‘cunts’, … and then when the world does agree with you, you don’t get it. Like now you are gonna say : … ‘Oh boo hoo wildy boy, get over yourself, you just a simpy mess, … not man at all!).

    Anyways, … this is getting kind of boring. Here are my Coles Notes, then:

    1) Andrew Anglin is absolutely correct that the primary problem, culture-wide, ….. be it the JQ-issue, race-issue, woke-issue, technocracy issue, faux-west coporatist globalist issue, whatever your issue, (now I don’t know if he is actually going to the extreme of ascribing ‘international geopolitical’ issue, here as well, quite so strongly as myself)…. it’s gonna be this as the primary problem: Women will not address their girly-mode propensity. Except young Andrew still thinks that is because women are too dumb for that, (which is not true), and so gives them a break they do not in fact deserve, whilst at the same time disrespecting women, which in context they sort of deserve though, in any event, like maybe a man has to process that, as a stage (so young Andrew has not yet figured out that though supremacism is bad, he too, even in his emerging maturity as an ethno-nationalist instead of a white supremacist, …. that he is still doing the supremacist thing on the gender dynamic, … and he is doing it to subconsciously give women a break they do not deserve, because this thing men have for the women, is really kind of beyond words, and deep deep, deep, … layers and layers deep), … rendering the young Andrew a kinda of cryptic supremacist still, of a different sort, though).

    2) “Anyway, so that may be a good exit strategy for you, and one day soon, exit you will”: We all will you dummy. I don’t mean that because the sky is necessarily falling, on any one of the issues, or combination of all issues (which may be he case in any event, alot of argument here, about how bad all this cultural subversion, as such, actually is, … it’s confusing). I mean that as: – I die, you die, Unz dies, Bibi dies, Trump dies, Biden dies, Bill Gates dies, Ray Kurzweil dies … and on it goes. The human condition. Live with it. It will help you put things in perspective. Maybe you should ask your impending Death (it is impending alwsy, for all of us, … biding it’s time ) for advice, for perspective?

    The general thing for you TipToe, I think, to now understand, is that you should get over the fact that the men love you so much, that they are not anymore willing to die for your covert-power mode, for your own good, so that they may live, and their brothers may live, so that our precious you may live, … and this is not something ‘new under the sun’ or anything like that, … this is all just completely normal in the whole scheme of things, as far as male psychology goes, and you haven’t figured it out yet. The species (and the ethnicities, and the ‘tribes’) survived for a reason dummy (I am calling you a dummy because you are not a dummy, … I hope you understand).

    > since some odd 50.000 years are just a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, we are all pretty much the same.

    Stephen Gould debunked that line of reasoning a long time ago. The irony is that Gould himself seems to have been frightened by the implications of his own scientific theory and subsequently tried to undercut it. The original Darwinian evolutionary thesis was indeed a gradualist view which saw organisms changing very slowly at a constant rate. If that were true, then shared origins of all humans from 50-60 thousand years ago would indeed mean that no significant biological differences can exist.

    But Gould’s theory of punctured equilibrium tells us that it is possible for an organism to go through sharp changes within a much shorter time than Darwin envisioned, but that there can be long periods of equilibrium when essentially no changes occur. So, one could start out with humans being all the same 60,000 years ago. Then they go off into separate environments, each group experiences its own form of punctured equilibrium, and by 5000 BC they are already showing clear differences.

    As for the Out-of-Africa thesis, some version of that is almost certainly true. All of the evidence shows that the tropical climate of Africa is where life likely began. The only issue is where did the first humans appear. Since evolutionary theory postulates that all organisms on Earth share a common ancestry, the only issue is whether or not the first humans were an offshoot of some species which was already living outside of Africa. In the Arctic we have polar bears. In Africa, there are a lot of apes. Which type of animal are the European peoples closer to, polar bears or apes? Everyone seems to agree that apes are closer to us than polar bears. The logical conclusion is that the earliest humans came from a place that was closer to the apes than to the polar bears. Hence, Africa is more likely than any place else to be where the first humans appeared. The later differences among branches of humans derive from Gould’s model of punctured equilibrium.

    Thanks for your comment.

    I think it goes without saying that human civilization is much older than the accepted narrative.

    I wouldn’t put it that way, but there are some clues pointing in that direction and there is a lot we simply don’t know. The discovery of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey was met with skepticism but eventually pushed the boundaries of civilization back in time, it could happen again. I am familiar with Graham Hancock and greatly enjoy his lectures and his theories. This doesn’t mean I endorse his views or believe him to be correct. Sadly I don’t think we are going to discover some very exciting old civilization. It will likely just be more goat-herders, but I am leaving the door open. His ideas are too much fun to write them off.

    I think much of the effort to debunk the out of Africa theory is motivated by racial views to speak plainly. We don’t have to read the comments here on the U.R for long to figure out why.

    If so I believe the effort is misplaced because within the framework of that theory is plenty of room for genetic variety between various groups, say Europeans and Africans. Even if we came out of Africa, it doesn’t mean our genetic makeup is the same as current Africans. Actually it isn’t as can be seen in this study from 2020: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7115999/

    In the end it’s studies like this one that will discover the genetic differences between various peoples. From the “racial” point of view it hardly matters where we evolved, in Africa or outside of Africa. I guess what matters is the genetic makeup and how closely different groups are related if people are worried about such things. Africa is enormous, it’s 31million km², it’s bigger than: Canada, USA and China combined. Plenty of space for different races to evolve differently. And it hardly matters if it happened there or say in Eurasia.

    I am not saying the Out of Africa theory is set in stone and I guess new discoveries can possibly change the picture dramatically. Recent paper about a skull discovered in Nigeria is interesting read. The skeleton is only 12-17.000 year old and is a puzzle because of it’s archaic features. Much more human like skulls have been found in the mid-east and even China believed to be 100.000 year old. Here is a quote from the results:

    Thus our restudy of the Iwo Eleru cranium confirms previously noted archaic cranial shape aspects, and the U-series age estimates on its skeleton support the previously proposed terminal Pleistocene date for this burial. Our findings also support suggestions of deep population substructure in Africa and a complex evolutionary process for the origin of modern humans [16], [17], [7], [18], [19], [20], [21]. Perhaps most importantly, our analysis highlights the dearth of hominin finds from West Africa, and underscores our real lack of knowledge of human evolution in that region, as well as others. As also indicated by restudy of the Ishango (Congo) fossils [22], Later Stone Age fossils from at least two regions of Africa retain significant archaic aspects in their skeletons.

    So this isn’t over by any means.

    I just looked more closely at this comment and it is really very strange. You write:

    I think you’re a relative newcomer here and I hate to waste my time on this nonsense, but I suppose I should. He’s basically a mentally ill individual who’s loudly declared at least a dozen times that he’s permanently departing this website.

    For one thing, this relative newcomer that you are addressing, this “Tulips” entity… You don’t see anything strange about this commenter? For one thing, just the sheer quantity of this entity’s output is quite striking. He/she/it/they has been around for about a year and in that year has consistently written an average of a bit over 2000 words a day. On this very page “Tulips” has (as I write this) written 119 comments comprising about 48,000 words of text. It’s such a volume of verbiage that I don’t really attempt to read it all. When you do actually start reading it, you surely notice quite quicky that it is mostly just some endless stream of Der Stürmer sort of material, this extremely over-the-top villification of blacks and muslims instead of Jews. Regardless of whether the “Tulips” entity really is a chatbot, it is definitely some sort of professionally run troll account. Just given the sheer volume, it must be.

    Now, my own participation on this page has been mostly to point out that this whole thing about Sweden being some crime-infested dystopia, where women are getting raped all over the place is kind of a peak wingnuttery sort of phenomenon. In my comment #987 I summarized the essence of the situation as best I could. As I said there, if Sweden became the 51st state tomorrow, it would be the state with the lowest homicide rate — lower than places like Maine, Vermont, or Idaho…. To have a bunch of ostensibly U.S. based commenters ranting endlessly about how horrible Sweden is… Well, anybody can be misinformed, but this is well beyond just people being misinformed. And, of course, when I point out that Sweden just doesn’t really have that much crime (the huge rate of reported rapes is some odd artifact of what Sweden defines as rape and how they tally it) they get enraged and attack me personally, making scurrilous claims, like the “Rurik” entity claiming that I want white Swedish girls to get raped!!?? Well, no, I really don’t want anybody to be raped. I’m just pointing out that the whole narrative is VERY suspect. Two diferent people (one of them your boy “niceland”) posted a chart that seems to show that Sweden has 40 times as much raping per capita as Canada. Do you find that credible? It could be a bit higher or a bit lower in one country than the other, but do you think there is a 40-fold difference? Canada and Sweden are not really such dissimilar places, after all.

    Now, a lot of this could be attributed to numerical illiteracy. For example, the claim is also made in wingnut circles that the amount of raping in Sweden went up 10-fold over the last so many years, and it is attributable to the swarthy savages, broadly speaking. So they are claiming that a demographic that is at most 10% of the population caused a 10-fold increase in the amount of raping, i.e. that demographic must be raping at 100x the baseline rate of the rest of the population, more or less. A 100-fold diference? Is that really credible?

    But, you see, numerical illiteracy is the most generous interpretation of this whole thing. I’ve actually converged on the view that these are troll/disinfo accounts. For one thing, what is the real point of making these outrageous claims about Swedish girls being raped all over the place, in the woods and in the bus and train stations and so on….These phony white nationalists (I think they’re phonies basically) make the ethno-nationalist position look ridiculous. That is surely the purpose of the operation, more than actually convincing so many people that Sweden, of all places, is such a crime-ridden hellhole. At least that is the best analysis I can come up with. Maybe you have some ideas about this and what that bizarre campaign is really about.

    But getting back to the question of Michael Korn… on a certain level, your hostility towards him is understandable because, at least at his worst, he really is quite annoying. I know whereof I speak on that. However, one does get the feeling that he is not a bad fellow, and as for him being so mentally ill, I really don’t know. I think he is a man of a certain age who does have real problems with depression and loneliness. Maybe you can’t sympathize with that, but I can.

    But okay, I grant that he can be very annoying, but given your endless tolerance for obvious troll accounts, it is really quite odd that you would find Michael Korn, in particular, so objectionable. For me, that PhysicistDave character was really totally beyond the pale, far worse than Michael Korn, yet you did not seem to have any inclination to clamp down on his BS. One even infers that he drifted away and you would actually like him to come back!!?? Well, in short, the vendetta against Michael Korn does not seem to correspond to any real standards on your part. You tolerate (and even encourage) far far worse misbehavior.

    Well, you also have a vendetta against so-called “anti-vaxxers”, presumably because you think they are spreading disinformation. Well, fine, if that is what you really believe, but you certainly don’t apply that principle to anybody else who is spreading disinfo. Not even when it is obvious (at least it’s obvious to me and most anybody else) that they are professional troll accounts of some sort. Michael Korn can be annoying, but I think he is a genuine participant who is here on his own time and dime. It’s just totally puzzling that you would go after somebody like that and endlessly tolerate the professional trolls. Why???

    @Tiptoethrutulips

    Holy heck. I haven’t looked at those latest vids yet and maybe I won’t (I almost always just pass). I went all through that, during one period (was that about 2016 maybe? or even 2014?), … when was that now?, back in the Colin Flaherty (of ‘White Girl Bleed A Lot’ fame) hey-day, when he was posting the unbelievable black hooliganism caught on video emanating from pockets all over the U.S., ….. but CF was posting dozens of novel different cases, per week, … just crazy. It makes your blood boil. I figured out, that about 3 weeks in, of absorbing that material every day, I was going to go bonkers if I watched any more, at that consumption rate. What the heck – eh? What if you were there, where there are places where black youth (of both genders actually) have gone absolutely bonkers, in amazingly violent ways (holy heck, …. the male fierceness especially, …but where’s the self-regulation though?).

    Go talk to their boys, though. Like, outside of that environment. Man-o-man do they ever need their strong fathers. Black men, in America anyways, that aspire to be strong, should be cheered on, in my estimation. For boys and men (or boys turning into men), the first ingredient to be sought and settled, is the issue of self-respect. The boy can really not go forward much, in a good way, without it. It’s very very hard to develop.

    A good portion of the whites have lost their way too. The underclasses are different though (the black underclass tends towards savagery, more easily). This is going to take some thinking, by everybody. I think maybe I am with Heather MacDonald on all this (that was a long while ago, as well, that I saw her excellent material). Heather MacDonald is what you would call a race-realist I guess (which is supposed to be a dirty word?, that is dumb though, what’s wrong with being real about race?), …. but she isn’t a white supremacist. People in my City don’t want to hear her, even her race-realist’s message though, because lawlessness is rather trivial here (like there are gangs, like I said, … but you would never know, unless something weird happens, like with stiletto girl), and then among the more actual lawless here (not me), .. well guess what , … that lawless aspect itself is made up of all kinds of ethnic inter-mixtures and such of all sorts, …… so no matter how you slice and dice it here (like I have been trying to tell you) it is cosmopolitan, to the point that any lawless aspect is completely cosmopolitan in a very white-majority way, as well, despite what ‘the most wanted’ shows and such, and also though, it would be true, as you say, that whites on average commit quite a lot less crime, and so do South East Asians, who probably commit less crime than whites, per capita.

    I have no qualms about riding my bike, anywhere in the City. I do a real nice 45 minute one-way bike trip, so 1.5 hours all together, once per week, that takes my right by the innerist, on the inner city sea of broken humanity, right there at the epi-center of that, like every city has….. and that is where our current rehearsal venue is located too, virtually 2-3 blocks from the epi-center of that. I guess the venue we rehearse at now for the moment, serves a different clientele though, …. people in need in one way or the other, and perhaps on the financial assistance for those with disabilities, or just otherwise in even not so good financial set-up as even that, …. but indexing the rental cost to income at something very good and low (I can’t remember 30%, 35% – something like that). The apartment building seems to be quite nice and is big, well over 100 units., .. probably close to 200. I am talking to all kinds of people all the time. Everybody in our very casual (but really quite good and surprisingly still slowly improving group) is. The sweet people are right there. And guess what, … they are very sweet for the most part. I don’t know why some of our brothers need so much help (I mean that of people that aren’t new immigrants, but have fallen, and that’s why they now need help, … it often all started with some sort of addiction, it often seems). Others, … they are clearly disabled, …many such types of disabilities, …. deaf, or wheelchair-bound, or COPD, or mental irregularities of various forms. Some people just get so sick from some chronic illness, that they can’t work anymore. It’s all kinds of people (ethnicities) though. It seems the black ones that are very recent immigrants that I meet are just fine people. Many very intelligent. Sweet. Good to their kids. And then the kids are well behaved and settled, and given a chance to sweetly shine. They are gonna land on their feet. They do of course because African blacks live in my neighborhood too, as home-owners.

    Africa must be quite the diverse place. At one point Kevin was trying to bed this Somali woman, who was loose it’s true, … and I met her, and wow was she ever just crazy beautiful, … it’s hard to describe, .. she had European traits too and green eyes, …. an intoxicating new flower, …. and she was way too intelligent for Kevin, to handle.

    Look, our singing thing is actually led by this very brilliant Swedish lady (our musical and artistic director) that all us men in our group, adore, because she is one of the most admirable persons, we have ever met. Some people – eh? Help in the most surprising ways. I think what partially happened to me, once one takes up the craft of singing in harmonies together, with anyone really, …. is that, if you stick with it, it slowly changes your brain. Maybe it takes years. I didn’t realize how simple some of the lessons our musical director, gave, to neophytes, like me: Nature beckons, all around us, to sync. It’s one big giant sync. So, …. you find out more about it, if you want, when you sing in harmony (but the sync is beyond just harmony), … and of course, it’s a voluntary thing, all that can be done is to beckon somebody who is trying, ….and if they do get the sync, …. their pleasure-id is going to get very tickled, and they will want more, and the whole group will improve. My most excellent Swedish associate (which you know, us guys can’t really show just how much we adore her, and only want the best for her always, … can we TipToe?, … only a little bit -right?, … because she deserves to be completely comfortable in our presence, always, in all circumstances, ….. look what she is doing for me, …. she changed my brain, over I think this has actually been more like 12 years now), …. didn’t ask me to change, … just said have a try at this or that if you like, or not,, …. maybe a music expert (she is highly accoladed in her long professional career) that knows what it did for her life and so just silently shares – crazy…. sharing the gift of the voice, but silent about the sharing part, sort of. I dunno, … the Swedish root cultural psychology is pretty complicated, I think. They got this idea of the ‘Tall Flower’ (should be struck down).

    You know there was another very important Swedish lady in our province that my Dad knew very well, that was in my City, and she was the same way (but I think she was born in Manitoba or Saskatchewan, though, but Swedish heritage). Somebody that sort of effortless helps everywhere alot, to the point, maybe you don’t notice (not because these both women were/are not charismatic, they are charismatic, … what you don’t notice is the easy-breezy but very positive influence, ., … until later, when everyone does notice, sort of all at once.

    I once came across Bergman’s movie ‘Persona’ and found that to be fascinating study is Swedish depth psychology.

    Anyways my point is, … we all help each other in surprising ways. I’m gonna continue to go with my Swedish friend’s casually-helpful way (without her asking or telling or anything) and just continue to take people as individuals as I find them (which I always did, before, but even more-so since I have aged, and maybe because I have sung, … it seems that way to me about the singing), …. and it turns out everybody is very complicated. Many are conflicted. You do need to be able to read people. Look at the faces. And then you know more what might to expect. Singing with people, the process, is generally fascinating too, because the group effort, is like a team sport, except the strategy and tactics, are to elicit ‘The Holy’, …. so it’s …. what is it then? Nobody really says. Everybody just smiles, … sometimes very wide grins, … when ‘we win’ though, and knock it out of the park (apparently that has actually happened, here and there, I have heard it said).

    What if you lived in one of those places of black violence here and there, all over, in the U.S., though? See the tragedy here? That is mostly going to be black people. It’s amazingly tragic. It’s really not here per se, as a black thing, so much I don’t think (like many minorities would be same as blacks in this respect I think overall, … blacks from all over Africa, so diverse, ….. and First Nations are the ones the tend to have young man problems here, like American blacks do too, and they commit more of the crime here too (which wasn’t in the stats you shared earlier about Calgary and such – weird?). Pretty sure none of this local action could not in any way approach what those Flaherty vids I watched showed, though. And even then, it wouldn’t necessarily be blacks. It would be anybody, broken down though, with whites and South East Asians coming out as less crime prone per capita.

    Maybe I am just lucky, somehow, re where I live, that Alberta, or at least my City, is lucking out somehow. Just not that view here, at all, though, to even think about celebrating something like that. It’s sort of mainly a nothingburger because everybody sees just how cosmopolitan it is. I guess it depends who you ask too. Like partly the reason I say that, is because I see how people here can pull themselves up out of not good circumstances, (of any ethnicity). Happens all the time.

    Isn’t the U.S far richer, discretionary-household-spending-wise and such, than Canada (even Alberta)? Can’t you get a very good house for cheap in Texas? This (need for supremacism) shouldn’t be, then.

    But as far as the U.S, …. the good black leaders (you mentioned some of them) need to be allowed to shine more. They get dissed too much in Leftist circles. Shouldn’t we give that a try? In America, with the blacks , it’s mainly about the lack of solid fathers in the household, it looks like. It is going to take some time to repair. Black men here do not seem to abandon their wives and children.

    After reading a bit about this and checking few recent videos from top experts I think we have a bit different story: The out of Africa theory is basically correct – but that doesn’t mean we all share the same ancestry from 50.000 years ago.

    Well, I’ve never spent much time trying to investigate it, but I do think some of the arguments that Fuerle made in his ultra-controversial book seemed pretty persuasive:

    But Fuerle’s central thesis is that our reigning Out of Africa framework—the notion that Homo sapiens first evolved in Africa then spread throughout the world—should be replaced by an Out of Eurasia model, and some of his points did seem pretty plausible to me.

    He argues that the package of African physical traits seems to be heat-adapted, while those of Asians are cold-adapted with the Caucasian race remaining more generalized, then suggests on theoretical grounds that a heat-adapted human population would be less likely to easily evolve into cold-adapted and generalized varieties, let alone do so in as little as the 60,000 years now believed. Also, Africa’s relatively stable environment would be much less likely to provide the severe environmental challenges necessary for giving rise to a new species, especially one with far greater intelligence than its erectoid predecessors.

    Under the current theory of African origins, Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa into Eurasia during the very time that the latter continent was gripped by a severe ice age that produced very difficult living conditions compared with their less impacted African homeland, which seems implausible. Moreover, Neanderthal man had already occupied Europe and parts of Asia for hundreds of thousands of years, surely being well adapted to local conditions and also having a larger brain than Homo sapiens, so it seems unlikely that small numbers of African-adapted human interlopers could have easily displaced them.

    Meanwhile, Fuerle’s contrary model of human evolution argues that sapiency was first achieved somewhere in the Eurasian continent, far larger than Africa and also providing much more stressful selective pressure. And during the ice age that wrapped the globe 60,000 years ago, small bands of early Homo sapiens were driven into Africa’s more hospitable climate rather than away from it.

    back in the Colin Flaherty (of ‘White Girl Bleed A Lot’ fame) hey-day,

    So, you’re familiar with Flaherty’s work, yet you insist there is no racial element to what is happening in western schools, cities, etc., and I am a white supremacist for noticing the truth of the problems? Consider this –

    Ohio Capital Journal, February 2024 –

    Focus on test scores could raise risk for violence against teachers, Ohio State study shows

    A study by researchers from Ohio State University found that the likelihood of violence against teachers could be greater in schools that focus primarily on grades and test scores.
    […]
    But overall, the “performance goal structure” was what the study found connected teachers with levels of violence, no matter who perpetrated the violence.

    New York Post, 2023 –

    The Houston Independent School District, which includes Lamar High, has previously championed the success of its restorative justice program – a gentler approach to student discipline that typically involves fewer school suspensions or expulsions.
    […]
    New York City allocated $20 million to restorative justice programs in 2022.…..

    Zeph Capo, president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers….

    Capo rejected the notion an uptick in violence could be connected to restorative justice programs.
    Speaking about the incident involving Carpentier, Capo said: “Clearly, obviously, there’s still some serious anger issues going on with this kid if he moved from a student fight one week to punching a teacher the next.”
    The end.

    Go ahead and toggle over to Pilsbury’s (Capo) instagram page and find the following –

    “Houston Occupied School District” and “If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government.”

    Pilsbury is also a signatory of the Garbage Paper issued from the bowels of his Teacher (Activist) group –

    Racial equity is the great unfinished work of this country. You, our students, give us reason to hope. Even during some of the darkest days, young people have shown that they are willing to take a stand and fight for what is righteous and just. You are demonstrating the power of collective action. As educators, we are learning a timeless lesson from you that, together, we can change the world.
    The end.

    Do you understand the significance of what is happening? Basically, academic standards are the equivalent of violence against or oppression of students. The lowering of standards is due to the utter inability of minority students to compete academically with White students. I experienced this firsthand in grade school myself. If all of our minority students were East Asians, this would not be happening, and you know it.

    But, let’s remove the behavioral element from the conundrum; a first world, technologically advanced nation requires a population capable of sustaining its institutions, infrastructure, public services, so on…America, Canada, Australia (a former penal colony, to boot) was built by Europa. These nations were the achievements of European People, and the rigor of European standards. The destruction of said nations are the achievements of alien people, led by Organized Jewry (there you go, Repulsky. Happy?).

    I am familiar with Heather McDonald, and she tap dances around total honesty, and I’ll bet she speaks much differently in private. That said, despite her reputation for gentle messaging, she is still shut down and physically attacked when she attempts to speak at certain venues.

    You can’t shame me for white supremacy. Everyone is able to distinguish what is better, in general, and not everyone is honest about what they observe. Sure, some people have a higher tolerance for dysfunction. Some people are in their element amidst chaos, as we plainly observed during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In point of fact, post Katrina New Orleans is the real Wakanda, and Mestizos/Middle Eastern Muslims are just more battering rams, as a group. I don’t give a rat’s ass what anyone else thinks about my opinions, and just because I hold these opinions, based on factual events/reality, doesn’t mean I’m out terrorizing and treating individual people poorly. What I do not do is make excuses for alien people, nor do I support their arrival/advancement in western society in any way.

    It’s an opinion held by some on this site that the person writing comments as Priss Factor is the same one who now writes a column as Jung-Freud. The style and ideology of those two entities is exactly the same, or so it seems to me. And here are two excerpts — one from a comment by Priss Factor, the other from a piece by Jung-Freud — which are identical:
    1) Priss Factor:

    Jung-Freud started publishing here on November 18, 2021. Here’s the November 10, 2021 comment in which Priss Factor accepted Ron Unz’s invitation for writing columns.
    https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/same-old-same-old-2/?showcomments#comment-4999408
    None of that is terribly interesting, but Ron Unz, while addressing someone’s relatively high number of comments, stated:

    https://www.unz.com/runz/the-bibliography-for-an-alternative-historical-narrative/#comment-6508453
    If Priss Factor and Jung-Freud are one and the same, that word count was not the sum total of Priss Factor’s output. He was concurrently writing tons of words as Jung-Freud.

    I think it goes without saying that human civilization is much older than the accepted narrative. Whether the withholding of accurate historical information is deliberate or intentional, I can’t say, but throughout history, many scientists who questioned the accepted doctrine had their careers ruined or their funding withdrawn, etc.

    I absolutely agree.

    It is my contention that all evidence of earlier human civilizations, (and all fossil or archeological evidence of anything and everything) that did not comport to the different regimes’ narratives over the centuries, were utterly destroyed as a threat to the power of the respective divine god/kings/priests over the centuries. Like the burning of the Library of Alexandra, anything of knowledge that was contrary to the interests of the respective regimes in power, was destroyed.

    One can only imagine how it went during the Middle Ages in Europe, when someone discovered evidence of a civilization or ancient creatures whose existence directly contradicted the narrative of the priests.

    It’s the exact same principle involved with that (black) ‘Swedish’ cultural minister who has ordered all artifacts from Sweden’s iron age to be melted down.

    This is a very regrettable foible of human nature, and I can only imagine at the treasures and knowledge that has been destroyed over the millenniums, out of the human species lust for power and control.

    As to OoA vs. OoE, for me it’s utterly academic, and personally of no actual consequence.

    Generally speaking, we now know where the human species came from, as to exactly what manner in exactly what time and place, I hope they figure it all out, without their petty arguing over African-centrism vs. Asian-centrism (or aliens or Gods or a God) or some such other theory.

    Right now, there seems to be some ambiguity, and I’m perfectly cool with that. I know what I am, and, in general terms, where our species came from, and that’s enough for me.

    I am very glad nicleand weighed in here, and provided the impetus for us all (the commentariat that is, .. but very glad to see you are weighing in and taking an interest too), again, to talk about this interesting and influential topic, …. I haven’t finished absorbing all these recent nicleand offerings, so I haven’t thanked him or responded to him yet.

    But, maybe it would be worthwhile to clarify what I think is the, sort of unspoken issue, on race relations (which pertains to these historical genetic queries), and that is this:

    1) There seems to be something different about homo sapiens that allowed homo sapiens to prevail when quite a few other hominoids, both in Africa, and in Asia, of seeming quite a range of phenotypic development, did not prevail, and instead all died out with perhaps just small genotypic admixture contribution to various homos sapiens strains; A): and for the case outside of Africa, on these admixture signals, from what I know, … the admixtures for Neanderthals and Denisovans, for instance, … only provided for a small % contribution within Caucasian gene pools and then Asian gene pools, for each stated case; and then B): for the case inside Africa, there were also other hominoids that died out, …. and fossil discoveries and such have indicated that these phenotypes of these in-Africa, non-homo-sapiens hominoids, in many such species (or is it sub-species in some cases?) perhaps not responding to confounding environmental signals forcing change, perhaps because these signals were not present in Africa, (as you say), having some contribution to current day African gene pools (perhaps at higher rates of admixture than is the case for Neanderthal admixture among current day Caucasians, though, it looks like, … at least for some of the rather diverse, current-day, African cohorts) and then also other hominoids, much more so hominoid-like, in a way that seems closer to the final homo sapiens phenotype, perhaps also interacting with primordial African homo sapiens, (as per other hominoids, not Neanderthals and Denisovans though, because we don’t see that genotypic record in appropriately selected current day African cohorts), …. but that probably shared more refined homo-sapiens type phenotypic expression, just as is deemed to be the case for the Neanderthal and Denisovan hominoid groups, … but I believe the idea here, is that these too would only be small admixture contributions, probably even less than the case for the Caucasian/Neanderthal case).

    2) So the issue, is, what was so special about what emerged all over the earth, by different but then somewhat overlapping routes, re homo sapiens, that allowed for what we ended up ultimately observing (i.e. – we end observing ‘civilization’, in the much more recent history)?

    3) Some will say, for the answer to question #2, … it was all in the subsequent European/Asian action.

    4) Some will say, for the answer to question #2, … it is all in the original African action (even though the African action seems more so to be quite a bit more about substantially different, phenotypic-expression-wise, range of competing hominoids).

    5) So, …. if all we see is extinguished hominoid lines, both more refined by way of more recent environmental impacts, as well as not so much that way, …. how do we know that this extinguishment action in Africa, was not about one of these things?:

    a) the new homo sapiens excelled at killing all close competitors

    b) the new homo sapiens, instead, prevailed because there is something now in the genotypic/phenotypic secret sauce, that was put there by way of more recent African homo sapiens bottlenecks (as occurred around perhaps 50,000 years or so ago, … I believe there is some genotypic evidence for said bottlenecks, as far as I recall, and perhaps more than one such bottlenck), … like a novel mutation that normally wouldn’t be a worthwhile change for homo sapiens, but it was in this case, because it was so novel it helped us to prevail, whilst hominoids were otherwise dying-off left, right and center …… this secret sauce mutational-matrix may have to do with: germs & immunities; or with intelligence & willfullness, or with vocal soft tissue apparatii changes; …. etc etc. …. i.e. – it could be about a whole lot of things, actually.

    6) Since the outcome of #5 strongly impinges upon ethnic nationalism, and even ethnic supremacism, … we should be very careful to sort out #5, before using these themes for any kind of policy ideas – no?

    The strongest proof we all come from Africa is the fact that continent has the greatest genetic diversity of them all. And a single gene, shared by all people on Earth can be traced to a single source with roots in Africa. Even a certain gut-bacteria, found in all people has great diversity in Africa, and little elsewhere. Many recent genetic studies support the theory.

    That sounds like very strong proof of Out of Africa. Fuerle from what I remember put forth equally strong evidence for Out of Eurasia, like the very predictable differences in physical features of Europeans and East Asians versus sub-Saharan Africans. I’d love to see Gregory Cochran or David Reich critique Fuerle’s theory.

    “like the very predictable differences in physical features of Europeans and East Asians versus sub-Saharan Africans”

    I dunno. When I hear something like this, the wheel-spinning speculation my mind produces, is this:

    Further to your blockquote: Thus indicating that phenotypic trait fixing can well occur, say over 30,000 years (I am broadly guessing, again going by memory, but isn’t that ‘30,000 years’ the approx. probable time-line for European and East Asian fixing of divergence?, … perhaps I am goofing and that time-line impact-zone of highest-coarse-physical-trait divergence, is quite less than 30,000 years, even?). As such, phenotypic trait fixing of less course (or less outwardly morphologically obvious) traits-features (like nervous system alterations, or abstract-language inducing soft tissue changes in vocal apparati, or as per evolutionary psychology theoretical modes, as per engramic imprints informing upon worldview considerations, inducing novel behavioral changes) can be expected to occur, within similar time frames, as a solid possibility, … which adds credence to the good possibility of the Out of Africa theory, being in the main, the correct theory, that is, …. as long as we also then propose that something novel and surprising happened in Africa, before the Out of Africa events, that informs these less morphologically-obvious potential phenotypic fixing (it might just be a psychological change towards more ‘male-fierce-mode’, and then this new emerging selection condition was fixed, because this emerging homo sapiens group just basically killed everybody else they found and took those habitats as their own, everywhere on earth, and this went on let’s say, until this group dominated enough, and so got large enough, that they had to start now killing one another, and then the new ‘stalematus-warrior-man’ emerged, or something, … and that is basically ‘us’, …. or alternatively, … this less-morphologically-obvious potential phenotypic fixing alternatively occurred by way of many other potential Darwinian avenues, as per African homo sapiens bottlenecks, occurring just some time prior to the Out of Africa events).

    The discovery of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey was met with skepticism but eventually pushed the boundaries of civilization back in time,

    Yes, and mainstream archaeology still persists in having us believe that Gobekli Tepe is the work of Stone Age people. Puma Punku, as well. Modern machinists insist they can’t imagine how ancient people worked that stone.

    His ideas are too much fun to write them off.

    The idea of Atlantis as factual is a bit fantastical and entertaining to speculate on, but Troy was also once believed to be a mythical city.

    Graham Hancock is quite credible, in my opinion, and that man puts on diving/hiking gear, and off he goes to see for himself, and interestingly enough, mainstream archeologists/anthropologists are quick to criticize him from afar, or in print, but they will not publicly debate with him. There is a recent debate (and the first, I think) on Rogan’s podcast with Hancock and Flint Dibble – credentialed ice age archaeologist, and Hancock smacks him around on a few occasions. It’s over four hours long, and I haven’t finished it, but it really pops off at around 2:00.00 through 2:30.00 (somewhere in there).

    Dibble is indignant over the “erasure” of indigenous excellence because Hancock presents information about their ancient deities fitting the description of bearded European men, ergo the accusations of white supremacy. The Inca are reported to have told the Spaniards they were living within the ruins of a people from before, and I know enough about history and anthropology to know that progress/technology moves forward, and it does not regress, nor stall, unless the founding/advanced group leaves or is annihilated/removed, and those who remain cannot sustain what was left to them. The Brits built on what was founded and left by the Romans; Native Americans operate casinos and ski resorts using technology developed/sustained by American engineering, infrastructure, so on.

    I think much of the effort to debunk the out of Africa theory is motivated by racial views to speak plainly.

    To put it plainly, I’m not the least bit disturbed by the notion that I evolved from a being from Africa. I just don’t accept that black Africans started migrating north as Homo sapien sapien, and within a blip of time, in terms of overall human evolution, we went from Deontay Wilder to Henry Cavill/Alexander Skarsgard.

    You are leaning way to far over your skis. You are assuming the superior-mode here, based on current environmental conditions, for one thing, (which ‘environment’ is now inclusive of this abstract overlay: ‘the culture’). What about future environmental conditions?

    As well, …. I’m not really sure what African genotype mixture Deontay Wilder possesses, but let’s suppose he is somewhat representative of Africa, in keeping with your analogy, …. well, …. don’t we have to count the babies, and then the babies’ babies and such, to get a better bead on overall species adaptability to current environment, as measured by this fertility? Or is this fertility, vis-a-vis other cohorts, just an accidental anomaly? Well, no, I don’t think that would be the case unless something upsets this fertility, like Caucasians go and kill a massive number of Africans in the coming decades, let’s say (that is just an example, … of course many other elements could disrupt African fertility). But in keeping with your analogy, even though the ‘future environment’ whatever that may be, really is the prime consideration around judgments of Darwinian superiority, (and the current environment is the secondary consideration), … if we ignore that analogy-issue for the sake of your argument, then doesn’t it turn out the what Deontay Wilder hereby represents then, is superior in terms of the current environment?

    Look, … I’m not offering this comment to get you going about Deontay Wilder, or why you may not like him or his kind (we already know what your thoughts are, along those lines). I am offering this because you (just like so so many others) refuse to use the correct Darwinian lens (and that’s why you in particular, seem to misunderstand John Locke for instance), …. the 1st error you committed (no focus on future environmental considerations), is a very typical error, that leads to all sorts of wrong-headed speculations, which can be crafted to fit pretty much any ideological theme … left, right, or center, … but it is easy to see that in your case here, this error makes it easy to claim supremacist themes as based on vacuous logics.

    This Harvard Crimson article claims that Math 55, the hardest math course at the school, was 45 percent Jewish in 2006:

    The final course drop forms are dutifully submitted, finalizing the class roster: 45 percent Jewish, 18 percent Asian, 100 percent male. The tribe has spoken.

    https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/12/6/burden-of-proof-at-1002-am/

    It doesn’t say what the source of that figure was, though. I don’t remember a professor or TA that asked us for our race or religion in any of my college courses. Is that done at Harvard? That would be odd.

    It’s also hard to believe that the course would be only about as Asian as the college overall at the time. The advanced math classes are always significantly more Asian than the school overall. Since Jewishness is an ethnicity/religion, you wouldn’t expect to see it combined with Asian, a racial grouping, in survey results. Math and science people are very irreligious, so if the students were asked for their religion, you’d expect a low percentage to say they were Jewish in that sense.

    Presumably, the remaining 37 percent of students were whites of Christian background, but it’s odd that they’re not mentioned. It’s almost as if one of the Jewish students asked his friends in the class for their backgrounds and told the Crimson writer. That would be an unrepresentative sample, of course. We can’t really be sure how these ethnic/racial results were derived, though.

    What? I made it out of girly-mode? I have evolved?

    I don’t know for certain, but I think we adapt to our current environment, not a possible future environment; but perhaps some of use were coded to mutate immediately upon reaching our ultimate destination/habitat, so after reaching the land of our first snow fall, we awoke to find our eyes blue, which is an adaptation to snow/ice and the reflection of sunlight therefrom. We are the BouncingLight People.

    Now, having said that slight bit of nonsense, European people certainly have displayed an ability to plan for future conditions, which is an intellectual endeavor, not a physical adaptation. I suppose it is an adaptation to civilization, which stays put rather than following migration patterns.

    he is somewhat representative of Africa,

    If we dropped him in The Congo, he could not be distinguished from the natives; Henry Cavill sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Of course, some African groups are more easily identifiable. Somalians have oval faces/large foreheads; many of the NE Africans have facial structures which are indicative of their admixture with the Arabs, Turks, Berbers, and a few Chinese, who were mucking about and slave raiding long before Europeans arrived.

    Did you know that modern South Africans, largely Bantu, Zulu, and I forget what else at the moment, routinely kill interlopers from other tribes? They can easily spot the difference. Let me know if you want a source.

    like Caucasians go and kill a massive number of Africans in the coming decades

    Perhaps we should just let them handle themselves? Why don’t you toggle on over to the National Gun Violence Memorial. Go to the search option and select a city, such as Chicago. Take a look to see who’s shooting who. There is a black man named Ak at Ak Nation News and he speaks on black culture/behavior, as he grew up in an inner-city in America. He offers advice to Whites, and in a nutshell – get away and stay away. Google him.

    then doesn’t it turn out the what Deontay Wilder hereby represents then, is superior in terms of the current environment?

    That’s part of the problem, isn’t it? We don’t live long enough to see if Darwin’s hypothesis is true. I don’t believe that Wilder will “evolve” whilst living in a northern climate during his lifetime, nor will his descendants, holding that they only reproduce with other Africans, evolve into White people. Race is not just skin color.

    I’m not certain Darwin’s theory is absolutely correct; I’m not really qualified to judge it completely, but fleas do develop immunity to the pesticide in flea prevention tablets given to dogs – the formula must be adjusted every few years; children inherit immunity to certain diseases, like the plague or chicken pox, if their parents or ancestors survived those diseases in the past. My brothers and I were somewhat immune to chicken pox; all of us had about ten red dots on our torsos – it looked like dots made with a red marker, whilst our classmates/friends suffered with giant, scabby pustules all over their faces and bodies. So, there is some degree of adaptation going on.

    Deontay Wilder prospers as an athlete in a white nation that has monetized sports and celebrity. Were he not a boxer, how would he prosper in America/Europe? In Africa, his physicality would be to his advantage, yes. In America, Bill Gates rules, unfortunately.

    based on vacuous logics

    You are arguing in emotional, girly-mode, Sasquatch Man. The Knoxville Horror; Baltimore; Detroit; Jackson, Mississippi, and Africa/Haiti are not illogical representations of what black dominance does to the societies in which they live/congregate. As a group, they don’t seem to be adapted to white/western culture without force with regard to behavior; regarding intellectual endeavors, there are no solutions. They don’t have the same sensibilities, as a group. You think I’m just mean/hostile when I am recognizing established patterns, which is the logical approach. And, you will refuse to admit that they have changed the landscape in every American city where they have become large minorities or majorities; you know damn well Baltimore is markedly different than it was a few decades ago, and you know you would suffer to live there, and you know WHY it is so. But, you will not SAY it, which is disappointing, in my opinion, for all of Sasquatch-kind.

    My guess is that the professor just got curious and surveyed his students on their background. Probably almost none of the Jewish students were religious, but they just said they were Jewish by ethnicity, hardly surprising since Hillel was counting students the same way back in 2006. I’d guess that Math 55 was roughly as Jewish back in my own day, though the Asian percentage was much lower since Harvard had far fewer Asian students in 1979.

    I read that Crimson article when it appeared and was very pleased that Math 55 apparently hadn’t been watered down too much since my day, and it brought back memories.

    Math 55 was basically the equivalent of a tough, rigorous second year grad school course for Pure Math majors. But since all the students were freshman undergrads, it really separated the boys from the men.

    I remember one of Prof. Wilfrid Schmidt mid-terms in particular. When he passed it out, he said he thought the questions might have been harder than he’d intended, so he decided to give all of us an extra 10 minutes to work on it.

    From what I vaguely remember, the top score on that test was something like 38% (not me!). A friend of mine got 33% and there were a handful of students who got something in the 20s. I think the average score was well below 10%, maybe around 5%.

    It became widely known as one of the hardest exam ever given in Harvard history, so much so that forty-odd years later it’s still sometimes been a topic at our reunions.

    Maybe one way of look at it, is that we all want to be next to Big Daddy In The Sky (actually it’s Big Daddy in the sky, the lakes, the dirt, the mud, the forest, the swamp, the sunlight, the deepest darkness, the cosmos, the life-force, … in us). Be careful though, because though Big Daddy is speaking to you all the time, … your reception of the message is rather faulty though (for each and every one of us too, in a variety of ways too). Don’t be so sure of yourself and the conclusions you draw, by way of attempting to stand next to Big Daddy and hear his message (and I am OK with calling this Big Daddy thing, Big Mama, if you like … whatever suits your fancy). And in fact this ‘don’t be so sure of yourself’ is actually part of this Big Daddy (or Big Mama) signal, it looks like. The ‘don’t be so sure of yourself’ portion of the Holy People (which is all of us, because all the people can hear, … ask them about it and they will say so too) signal-reception gleaned from Big Daddy, is what supercharged the west (scientific method and all).

    There is quite the difference in what the people went on to do, whence hearing, and trying to decipher this message. I suppose back a bit in time now, a few 10’s of thousand of years, in Eurasia, whence trying to decipher this message, these people were quite a bit more desperate to ‘hear right’, because their existential condition (do they and their kin live or die) dictated more of this kind of desperation. And the Africans didn’t so much because the weren’t so desperate.

    Why do black African have all the same questions about ‘God’, as everyone else, though?

    Can you really claim they don’t have the same questions TipToe? Of course not dummy. So, was the action in Europe of the last 50,000 year or so, … and the new more desperate responses to ‘hear right’ that bore all this fruit, as you say (and no one can sincerely disagree with this ‘fruit’ aspect, I agree), contingent on this universal condition I am talking about among all pe0ple (including even Aboriginals in Australia who are not closely related to black Africans but are also widely seen as grossly primitive)? Yes it is, I maintain for now (but alas, this is conjecture).

    The matter is not even close to rigorously settled one way or the other, though. But realize, the intellectual stance you take is the new bold cavalier stance (i.e. – that the religious or spiritual mode among humans, and how it arose and was provenanced, is of no consequence whatsoever, with respect to ‘civilization’ that emerges, first in around Iraq or thereabouts, it seems). So the onus is on you. You are not doing well on the front and instead, seem very confused.

    It’s like you don’t talk to black people (or any people not Caucasian) or something.

    Not sure about your claim that Deontay Wilder = Congo African phenotypic typical. Probably wrong, (I think you probably instead meant Bantu phenotypic typical) but it doesn’t really matter, and I don’t want to argue about that, and I bring it up just to remind to be careful about the African diversity aspect as well (the sub-Saharan continent is home to pygmies, as well, by way of example of quite wide African sub-Saharan diversity).

    I find it hard to believe that the Jewish percentage could be so high, and that the Asian percentage would be about the same as the student body overall. If Putnam winners in the 2000s were about half white with Christian background, and a third Asian, then these course demographics wouldn’t make sense, especially if we assume there was unmeritocratic bias in favor of Jewish applicants in admissions to the college that inflated their population to 20-25% of the student body.

    I enrolled in Math 2230, Theoretical Linear Algebra and Calculus, as a freshman but had to drop it quickly. The linear algebra course I then enrolled in was taught by a former math major at Harvard who graduated in the late 2000s, who I think was Jewish.

    What I have said is neither vacuous, nor implied. Europa (Cavill/Skarsgard) is objectively superior to Africanus (Wilder), by all measures. You may believe that living in a dirt-floored mud hut, carrying river water in a buffalo bladder, traveling on foot, hunting, gathering, witchcraft, etc., is preferable to 3,000 sq ft with carpet/ceramic/wood floors, running water/plumbing, automobiles/airplanes, grocery stores, farmer’s markets, hospitalization, etc., and that’s fine – float your boat. We both know if you could choose to live anywhere in the world, neither South Africa, nor Haiti, would cross your mind. Got any immigration stats INTO either of those countries by non-blacks? I am fairly certain your choice would be in a western nation, or a nation western adjacent/accessible. People indicate the truth by their actions, not words, which is why LeBron lives in a white community, and why his Blackety-Black Black Basketball Academy students can’t pass basic skills assessment tests, and the basketball court was a recent murder/crime scene.

    Can you really claim they don’t have the same questions TipToe?

    Yes. There are exceptions, as I have repeatedly said, Sasquatch Man. I know for a fact that the average witch-doctor in Africa could/would never assess the world, science, history, etc., in the manner as I do.

    Aboriginals in Australia who are not closely related to black Africans but are also widely seen as grossly primitive

    Are they, or are they not, primitive in appearance and manner?

    What you seem to miss is that some human groups are suitable for only their environment, and some groups manipulate their environment to increase their survival rate and expansion. Agriculture, animal husbandry/domestication, protective structures/walls, soap/running water, electricity/light, written languages, mathematics, so on, all contribute to survival. I’m not suggesting ancient knowledge has/had no utility; we once, to some degree, all navigated by the stars, so it’s good to retain a bit of what we once knew, but animals can also navigate well and find food/shelter to sustain their lives, so we either live like animals or we don’t. It does appear that some of us were tweaked unusually somewhere along the way, and others were not.

    Animals manage each other; people must do likewise, but now it’s deemed unfair because human groups who don’t belong together are together, and the unmanageable are now elevated beyond their abilities. I recently finished listening to the debate between Hancock and Dibble, and Dibble stated that archaeology/anthropology museums and university programs are being dismantled; he claims it’s due to lack of funding, which is certainly somewhat true considering all of the social services that are now wasted on the new “darker” Europeans, but I think there’s a push to obscure the truth of ancient history, just like they have done to more modern history.

    I have recently started reading Fuerle’s book and have stumbled upon an interesting comment from him in the foot-notes of the introductory chapter. When writing about the pressures modern anthropologist face regarding race-differences he writes:

    “The only subject that can get someone fired faster than anti-egalitarism is WW II revisionism”.

    Thought about this a bit more (what might help you ‘see’).

    In a past comment you alluded that I should think to act to protect the precious good thing, I have going on here, in my city. I have (in many ways,…. I sort of explained some small aspects of my life that may tend to have one draw such conclusion – no?). But now I realize that you don’t see that, and think I am shirking.

    My city is cosmopolitan. I think it must be almost every neighborhood. The ritziest neighborhood, which of course I have been to (and partied within), this is still the case. Of course the sketchiest neighborhood too (of course which I go to, and visit, if someone I know is there, … why wouldn’t you?). Maybe I am a guy that is weird somehow and gets to go everywhere though?, … no …. pretty much this social posture, of hanging out and about just wherever there are people, if you feel like it, is available to anyone in my city. Is it possible that people tend to respond to the circumstances they find themselves in, … and maybe that explains the likes of my Texan bro, Kevin?

    Look, … many a moon ago (10 years ago I think), I was concerned about this emerging racial conflict apparent in many parts of the world. It is true that there are many Leftists about here. I had convos about this, with them. This was the metric I told them I use: If, as a man, I cannot go to any part of my city, to any venue (if it is open) at any time of the day or night, 7 days per week, because is is verboten, that is when I am going to say: ‘no – I will not abide’….. that is the metric I told all the Leftist people I use, to ensure that I know that that racial crap hasn’t poisoned my city. Of course many of the Leftists here are women and they do not understand that metric (at all). If you have a city, full of interesting novelty, which is completely open to you as a man, and you are of a neoteneous male-fierce-mode/female-girly-mode (both neotenous though) NW European phenotypic make-up, …. like the Irish let’s say (which dynamic actually renders the males, emotionally, as default ‘open-hearted lovers of the world’), ….. then, what we now have going on here in my city is well worth protecting, I think (but I probably still need to go to Texas and other American locales, to see for myself, if it really is so much different in those parts).

    The NFL draft is nearly here. Five or six quarterbacks are expected to be taken in the first round. Every year, at least a couple of the earliest drafted QBs turn out to be busts or major disappointments. It’s hard to fathom that the same will be true this year. According to brilliant analyst and 2003 Draft alum Chris Simms, a particular top prospect who’s expected to be picked in the top 5 has huge bust potential.

    Around this time in 2003, besides the draft, you had Weird Al finishing up and releasing his album Poodle Hat. The parody song “Couch Potato” is really clever and funny. Al also did some hilarious fake interviews with Eminem and a couple other celebrities. Here’s how Eminem described the “interview”:

    Weird Al also got me. He made a video, did a fake interview with me, spliced it with clips from my old interviews, and put it up on the Internet. He’s a very funny motherfucker. When something like that happens, you have to sit back and say, “Oh, he got me.” It’s something you pick up from battles: you learn to be a good sport about a lot of stuff. If you want to dish it out, you’ve got to be able to take it.

    “nothing you say goes over my head.”

    No. About half of it does appear to do so, and continues to. Methinks you may have an arrogance issue that clouds your vision? Unless instead you are just manipulative, and know that is what you are doing. As well, as a girly-mode white women, in my estimation, it is probably both, as that is the more usual, in my experience.

    “I just give up. Obviously, much of your meandering is now intentional because you don’t take criticism from White Girly very well”

    What criticism?

    “I’m sure Staples Girl would get a pass.”

    Hell if I know. I would have had to have gotten to know the young Mavis, myself, to know how superficial the initial attraction, might have been. Maybe she is an ethic supremacist too (which confuses me, … but ethnic nationalism doesn’t confuse me, and I am fine with people refusing to unnecessarily diss themselves, you know)? Doubt if Mavis is a supremacist, of pretty much any sort though (but I only know her for a few performances), … but even just straight-up ‘female’ (vs. less girly-mode female, let’s say), is going to tend to support psychological themes around female-gender supremacism in the current era, … it’s a thing in current culture, black/white/all-round, … as a man, there is that to consider, too. But Mavis did have something going on there, beyond girly-mode, that is mighty fascinating to me, like I said, and I am attracted to it too, … she can make feel all that just be opening her mouth and annunciating? Wut? People who can easily hearken within you ‘deep reconciling emotion’ are usually deemed charismatic – no?

    “Europa (Cavill/Skarsgard) is objectively superior to Africanus (Wilder), by all measures.”

    No. Not all.

    “We both know if you could choose to live anywhere in the world, neither South Africa, nor Haiti, would cross your mind”

    Wut? No we both don’t know that. Because I don’t know that. As far as can tell, the very best architectural masterpieces, hillside mansion-wise, in the entire world, exist in Clifton at Cape Town. I haven’t told you about all my passions. These magnificent mansions can be had for about 20% as compared to elsewhere. I am not rich enough to buy one of those mansions. But f I was ……?

    “People indicate the truth by their actions, not words, which is why LeBron lives in a white community,”

    Yes, … of course, he shouldn’t be such a hypocrite, and you know, give a better message to his black brothers, … like Mohammad Ali used to.

    Can you really claim they don’t have the same (spiritual) questions TipToe?

    “Yes. There are exceptions,”

    No, …. the exception is the atheist, which is widely distributed phenomenon.

    Aboriginals in Australia who are not closely related to black Africans but are also widely seen as grossly primitive

    “Are they, or are they not, primitive in appearance and manner?”

    Not primitive in spiritual manner.

    “What you seem to miss is that some human groups are suitable for only their environment, and some groups manipulate their environment to increase their survival rate and expansion. Agriculture, animal husbandry/domestication, protective structures/walls, soap/running water, electricity/light, written languages, mathematics, so on, all contribute to survival.”

    No. Sub-Saharan black Africans are now world leaders fertility-wise (and have been for quite some time now). No matter how you slice and dice, it, this means they are successfully manipulating their environment, albeit now partially made up of the abstract cultural environment, which itself has gone sort of global hyper-cosmopolitan-mode, itself. To that you will say, .. but they will fall without us. Maybe so, but the aren’t going to kill us, are they? (they haven’t yet and it has been millennia). And your men will not allow you to stir shit up enough to cause you men, to kill the Sub-Saharan black Africans. So what you gonna do?

    “I’m not suggesting ancient knowledge has/had no utility; we once, to some degree, all navigated by the stars, so it’s good to retain a bit of what we once knew, but animals can also navigate well and find food/shelter to sustain their lives, so we either live like animals or we don’t. It does appear that some of us were tweaked unusually somewhere along the way, and others were not.”

    Yes you are suggesting just that (that the ancient knowledge as per the spiritual impetus has no utility). And for the record, … this is about the 100th time you purposely chose to parse what I said. I never said these more primordial cognitive-traits, whatever they may be, that may have emerged in Africa, before the Out of Africa events, was about the kind of utility you allude to (stop with the stupid definitional shell games please, …. especially because you play that game quite poorly, … I have seen much much better bunk-spinning), and it is boring, and mostly I have just ignored, because I thought you were intelligent and manipulating, for the most part (but I am still trying to gauge that properly, actually).

    If you were a man, by this time, I woudl not be nearly, so kind.

    “Animals manage each other; people must do likewise, but now it’s deemed unfair because human groups who don’t belong together are together, and the unmanageable are now elevated beyond their abilities.”

    What is deemed unfair? What management of humans, by other humans, are you alleging, is deemed unfair, and by whom? A person not suited to university level abstract education should not go to university (or that kind of university). In the U.S. there are black universities. The credentialing is going to be less strict. I see no reason why the American nation should not also support those universities, even though education-thrust is going to be somewhat different. Leftism is way behind race-realism, which if such race-realism is just left to ferment in the vat, tends towards supremacism then, which is way behind westernism. End of story. In Canada, I don’t think there is going to be subpar education offered, at the post secondary level, as based on ethnic affiliation. You may see that for other reasons though (some strains of ideology, as based on spirituality often, offering post secondary, shoddy though, …. shoddy in order to uphold the ideology). Perhaps what is going on in the U.S. is more about absent father in the household than anything (watering down the community norming of self-discipline, … which then affects absolutely everything). Fix that. Support those black American universities in the meantime.

    Weird Al is Canadian. So was Norm MacDonald (oh those MacDonalds, – eh?, … I am in the clan too, but not by surname, and know all about the great MacDonald clan, one of the great dominating paternalistizing lines that came into being in this world). Back in the day, out west here in Canada, we sponsored the very funny SCTV. John Candy came from there too (he was sort of like America’s very very hilarious Will Ferrell – I just love that guy Will Ferrell … his humor is so … full-body, almost athletic). In Canada many people here have been making fun of clown world forever it seems. Now I got extended family members making these kinds of vids. It’s not going to go away.

    It’s cold here. Snowed again this week and it is still hanging about. That is normal. If we get spring by around mid-April, that is something to celebrate, because that is not normal (in recent decades, at least), and it still is not quite spring here (but Alberta sunshine is crazy intense,… the spring is strongly threatening, for weeks now, just doesn’t quite come, quite yet). Other than that, … I really don’t think there is much else not to like. It seems like a fine place. The people here are great for the most part. I ride the bike all winter long to overcome the part of being here, that is not so nice (that way, I still have not become a winter snowbird to Arizona, like many here, including friends). I’ll see I guess, in coming years.

    Thanks for pointing that out. My error on Weird Al being Canadian. Wikipedia says Lynwood California. I just always assumed some how. Now I am scratching my head why exactly did I never check (I mustn’t, .. I would have remembered, … I go by memory an awful lot, …. it has been almost always a lazy method that has worked in my life). Was it the polka thing? Maybe I am just getting old (hope it’s no that, hahaha!).

    Also … I’m still laughing, …. had to go and look at it again, the ‘Canadian Idiot’ thing. One of Weird Al’s better satirical takes (the satire, is that Canadians do tend to think that Americans perceive us, like that, and we do like many of those listed things too, however mostly Americans don’t give a fuck).

    Man, I came up with characters like this. On of my pals from elementary school phoned me up a couple of days ago, and brought up fond memories we both have of one guy who was stand-out that way. One good ole buddy, sort off of same chopping block as Weird Al (and East European heritage like Weird Al, but instead Ukrainian), now long dead. And just like Weird Al, …. you could never know for sure what he was thinking, …. parody upon parody upon parody, and endless satire. It’s a Canadian thing I guess. But then Andy Kaufman (Jewish American) was like that too. When we were young, here, that was all just great grinning pretense to rumble. Green Day captures the spirit of that weird attitude actually (but my youth was before that). We used to have huge bush bashes out in the boonies when I was still a teenager. A rumble would always happen there. Guaranteed. But best to only watch those (with 2,000 people there). Somebody just lost their car over the 50 foot embankment, …. it’s a wreck type thing (time to go, I guess me and my buds were not total fools and their were girlfriends about aleady by then, so .. time to go, because the girls, correctly … need those female instincts, want to). Here, …. the baby boom was a big big deal, and my cohort pushed our way around, in the culture quite a bit, we did. Very brash when we were young. Many of the workplaces, … if there was an ‘in’ towards suits not taking much interest in that particular biz or biz-aspect, ….well, we just bent the whole damn thing our way, too bad, so sad. I guess, back as late as around 1980, …. we were still the proverbial cowboys here (we are just gonna do it our way). I guess my Dad’s generation must have been partly responsible for that too. I think the globalism, actually did start showing it’s face, around that time, early 1980’s (we just didn’t know it then).

    You are clueless about conditions in Africa. There is a reason the populations of black Africans have increased beyond what nature intended. Incessant humanitarian aid is part of the problem, and in America, they out-breed Whites for pretty much the same reasons.

    They are up to all sorts of things in America; I will assume you know all about the sad story of gentle giant George Floyd? What a tragedy, and the world stopped to grieve, yet –

    Channon Gail Christian, aged 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr., aged 23, were from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. They were kidnapped on the evening of January 6, 2007, when Christian’s vehicle was carjacked. The couple were taken to a rental house. Both of them were raped, tortured, and murdered.

    Both Christian and Newsom were raped…. According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner, Newsom was sodomized with an object and raped by a minimum of one of the perpetrators…Prosecutors believe a mangled dog leash found on a hillside leading up to the railroad tracks was used to force Newsom to walk to his death. When Newsom was murdered, his hands were bound behind his back, and his feet were bound together. He was blindfolded with a bandana and gagged with a sock…. Newsom was shot in his neck and the back. Newsom survived this shooting initially, but later was shot again in the head. The fatal shot was fired with the gun’s muzzle against his head above his right ear, and it severed his brain stem. After killing Newsom, the assailants poured gasoline on the comforter and Newsom, and then set his body on fire.

    Christian was held prisoner inside Davidson’s house, mostly in the north bedroom….After murdering Newsom, the assailants returned to Davidson’s house where they beat and repeatedly raped Christian. The medical examiner testified that Christian died after hours of sexual torture, sustaining severe head injuries and suffering severe injuries to her vagina, anus, and mouth due to sexual assaults. Her injuries were consistent with being raped with an object. According to the medical examiner, the sexual attack Christian endured was “extreme” and “much more than a simple sexual assault.” Prosecutors believe that Christian was tied to a chair and orally raped by Davidson and Cobbins. Christian was also anally and vaginally raped. She was also beaten, kicked in her groin, and beaten on the head. Christian suffered extensive hemorrhaging to her head and groin. Additionally, Christian suffered bruises and carpet burns on much of her body. According to Davidson’s confession, during Christian’s captivity, she said she “didn’t want to die.”

    Ask yourself, why no world outrage over Christian and Newsom? Primarily because no one knew. If the world is kept from knowing things like the crime in Knoxville, and “we are forcing behaviors,” what else is going on? What other information is withheld/obscured?

    Fink is, of course, forcing behaviors upon White Gentiles/Europa. We must accept non-Whites in all areas of White society, and the media blackout on the reality of their violent, local, dysfunctional group behavior will be denied, excused for BS reasons, and/or hidden.

    Headline: Fury at DNA pioneer’s theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

    One of the world’s most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that “equal powers of reason” were shared across racial groups was a delusion.
    James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America’s leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.
    The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when “testing” suggested the contrary. He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.

    Science Magazine:
    James Watson, the co-discoverer of DNA, has made many controversial remarks over the years.
    But telling a British newspaper that, in effect, blacks are intellectually inferior to whites seems to have landed him in unprecedented trouble. Last evening, as public criticism of those remarks swelled to a crescendo, the Board of Trustees of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in Long Island, New York, stripped Watson of his title as chancellor of the 117-year-old institution.

    Genetic diversity in Africa 1:
    We already have pretty explosive results from genetic studies about human diversity. And perhaps we are not realizing is because of aggressive political correctness in our universities and the media and some of the recent findings haven’t been turned into bold headlines or sensational documentaries – yet at least.

    Until fairly recently, we had very limited studies about genetics in Africa. In 2020 this study, containing limited African testing, was published: Insights into human genetic variation and population history from 929 diverse genomes
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7115999/

    It seems straightforward that if there is considerable genetic difference between population we should see it in the results and indeed we do. This paper is written by scientists from U.K and U.S. universities et.al and given the current atmosphere and the potentially explosive content, I expect the authors to be extremely careful in their discussion to avoid triggering controversies.

    Short Abstract:

    Genome sequences from diverse human groups are needed to understand the structure of genetic variation in our species and the history of, and relationships between, different populations. We present 929 high-coverage genome sequences from 54 diverse human populations, 26 of which are physically phased using linked-read sequencing. Analyses of these genomes reveal an excess of previously undocumented common genetic variation private to each of southern Africa, central Africa, Oceania and the Americas, but an absence of such variants fixed between major geographical regions. We also find deep and gradual population separations within Africa, contrasting population size histories between hunter-gatherer and agriculturalist groups in the last 10,000 years, and a contrast between single Neanderthal but multiple Denisovan source populations contributing to present-day human populations.

    Like me, you may have to read this few times to figure out what they are saying. I’d say they discovered much more diversity than expected in Africa and Oceania, deep population separations in Africa and so on. Complex picture.

    A lot can be said about this study, and if interested I suggest you click the link above and read it. It has interesting short chapter called “The extremes of human genetic differentiation” The text is pretty dry but they do have nice graphics.
    So what are we looking at? Remember this study is about genetic diversity and here we see difference in diversity between various groups.

    SNP: Single nucleotide polymorphisms, frequently called SNPs (pronounced “snips”), are the most common type of genetic variation among people.
    INDEL: (insertion-deletion) is a molecular biology term for an insertion or deletion of bases in the genome of an organism.
    CNVs: A copy number variation (CNV) is when the number of copies of a particular gene varies from one individual to the next.
    Allele: is the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene.

    Take a look at Europe, the green line, in all three plots hardly visible in left and lower part of the plot. Meaning genetic diversity in Europeans is very small on this scale. Notice how we could split the results into two groups. Europe, middle east and Asia to the left and Africa, Oceania and America to the right with much higher diversity. East Asia in the middle, leaning to the left.

    Another plot from the study regarding: The extremes of human genetic differentiation
    To the left we have Derived alleles (gene changes): Variants arising since last common ancestor. Basically the same story as above.

    In the middle we have the interesting plot about “present in archaic genome”. We know Europeans have archaic (old) admixture of ~1-2% Neanderthal genes resulting in this small green section on the left of the plot. We also know that the Denisovan mixed with East Asians up to 3-4% possibly seen in the blue section towards the left. For some reason the mid-east and central and south Asia are barely visible here. Perhaps due to limited sample size in the study. Now, compare this to archaic genes frequency in Africa, Oceania and America. In comparison the 2% European Neanderthal influx is very small. Here most of the fun is in Africa, Oceania and America. In the plot to the right we see frequency of archaic genes not found in Africa.

    What does this mean?
    One interpretation, from perhaps racial European perspective is hardly surprising, but perhaps not welcome in the circles of polite society claiming we are all the same:
    We Europeans are closely related to each others with low genetic diversity. We are also closely related to people in the mid-east and most of Asia. It’s possible we also have close relatives in Africa but it’s also likely we have quite distant relatives there and also in Oceania and America. It seems also likely given these figures that “Black African” isn’t just Black Africans. More about that in my next post.

    Genetic diversity in Africa 2:

    Let’s look at another study that came out last year.
    Whole-genome sequencing reveals a complex African population demographic history and signatures of local adaptation
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092867423001010?via%3Dihub
    Close to the top of the page you can click button to view the open manuscript to read the study.

    Possibly because the lead team behind this one is from China, it’s more direct in tone than most others I have seen. And the results are incredible in my view, worthy of quoting at length. This one takes a deeper look at Africa:

    Discussion:

    In this study, we analyzed high-coverage whole-genome sequencing data from 180 individuals from twelve indigenous African populations representing a wider range of
    cultural, linguistic, phenotypic, and genetic diversity in Africa than previous studies of
    Africans.3,90 We identified ~5.3 million previously unreported variants, many of which predicted to be functional

    That’s a lot of variants.
    And:

    Our study depicts a complex demographic history of African populations, consisting of ancient population divergence, regional and cross-continental migration, and
    admixture events (Figures 3 and 4B-D). .

    And then comes this:

    Although phylogenetic analyses indicate that the San descend from a population ancestral to all other modern humans, demographic modeling using momi, allowing for changes in effective population size and migration between populations, consistently supports a model in which the RHG and San form a sister clade deriving from a population ancestral to all other modern human populations.

    Erhmm .. ancestral to all other modern human populations!?

    They are using different computer programs to analyze the data. “moni” is one such. Here “RHG” means (central African) Rain-forest Hunter Gatherers and “San”:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_people
    The San peoples (also Saan), or Bushmen, are the members of any of the indigenous hunter-gatherer cultures of southern Africa, and the oldest surviving cultures of the region.[1] Their recent ancestral territories span Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho,[2] and South Africa.

    Moving on:

    We find similar effective population sizes of the San and RHG from 50-200 kya (Figure 5), consistent with shared common ancestry. Similarly, ADMIXTURE analysis identifies shared ancestry between the San and RHG, particularly at low K values (Figure S2). On the other hand, qpgraph suggests that the RHG and Bantu populations derive a substantial portion of their ancestry from a population that is an outgroup to all modern populations (Figure 4B)

    And on:

    One possibility to explain these observations is a model with multiple introgression events between a deeply diverged population (diverged >1 – 3 Mya) with the ancestors of all modern humans (Figure 4C) and, more recently, with the ancestors of the RHG and Bantu populations (Figure 4D), consistent with previous reports of archaic introgression in African populations.23,24,34,41. However, these results could also be explained if the lineages related to modern-day African populations were part of a deeply structured 18 ancestral population (a “multiregional” model of modern human origins in Africa which could have been facilitated by gene flow between structured populations).

    Finally perhaps:

    Thus, the early demographic history of the lineages leading to modern humans is
    complex with multiple episodes of gene flow between modern human lineages and possibly with other hominid lineages. When accounting for gene flow, we estimated that the deepest divergence among modern humans dates back to 285 kya, which is consistent with the estimates based on ancient African samples41,93 and fossil records in Africa.1 Without accounting for gene flow, however, our estimates from MSMC analyses are much more recent (~100-150 kya) but still quite deep. We also show that populations speaking all major language families diverged tens of thousands of years ago, consistent with long term population structure both within and between populations speaking languages from different phyla

    What’s gene flow?: Gene flow is also called gene migration. Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. Ok, seems plausible gene flow occurred in Africa between these various groups so perhaps the “deepest divergence among modern humans really dates back to 285.000 years. Or approx quarter of a million years!

    This study has many interesting plots but I’ll stop here. At least for now.

    Thanks. I have no idea whether it’s correct, but one claim I’ve sometimes heard is that the massive genetic diversity of Africans is mainly due to the substantial introgression of those Archaic lineages. If so, that would eliminate one of the key arguments for the OoA model.

    I find it hard to believe that the Jewish percentage could be so high, and that the Asian percentage would be about the same as the student body overall

    That’s a reasonable point. I’d have to try to look up the data and give it some thought. After almost 45 years it’s very hard to recollect the demographics of that course, but I think the Asian percentage in my Math 55 class was pretty close to Harvard’s Asian enrollment rather than much higher. Back then, I never focused that much on Jews or Gentiles, but I also think the Jewish enrollment was somewhat higher than that of the overall freshman class, which may have been around 25-30% Jewish.

    I enrolled in Math 2230, Theoretical Linear Algebra and Calculus, as a freshman but had to drop it quickly.

    Based upon the name you use, I’d always thought you might be a Math guy.

    “Thanks. I have no idea whether it’s correct, but one claim I’ve sometimes heard is that the massive genetic diversity of Africans is mainly due to the substantial introgression of those Archaic lineages. If so, that would eliminate one of the key arguments for the OoA model.”

    I reread your comment #1057. Perhaps, going over my head a bit, is this key phrase:

    “He argues that the package of African physical traits seems to be heat-adapted, while those of Asians are cold-adapted with the Caucasian race remaining more generalized, then suggests on theoretical grounds that a heat-adapted human population would be less likely to easily evolve into cold-adapted and generalized varieties, let alone do so in as little as the 60,000 years now believed.”

    OK, … the take-away there is that apparently there are some very good arguments as to why adaption to heat stress among mammals tends to eliminate potential future adaptations to cold stress, but not the other way around.

    Said key takeaway then, does tend to make these African introgression events you (and niceland) reference, look to be ‘regressive’ (because if these introgression events could not have led to the cold adaptation found elsewhere among homo sapiens, then the introgression events, as well, would not have led to whatever other key traits that ultimately, eventually, were ‘special’ enough so as to ultimately give rise to civilization, and so the regressive aspect is not useful).

    Is there a good Coles Notes overview, of why the italicized portion of my comment above, is warranted, though? At least superficially, it doesn’t seem to make sense does it? (thinking about mammals in general, and habitats where they first arose, …. so there must be some key insight I am missing, beyond the superficial). I took a quick Google look around and I don’t seem to find anything definitive, at all, making your claim. I read your October 5, 2020 article entitled “White Racialism in America, Then and Now” back at that time, of course inclusive of the very interesting “Erectus Walks Among Us” section featuring Richard D. Fuerle’s book of same title. I didn’t read his book that I note you graciously provided to readership within article, (but probably did quickly purview some small sections at that time), but now I see I probably should read the whole thing, … but maybe you could tell me what section of the book Fuerle provided that argument, for the italicized section above (not obvious from content page)? Can you help me out?

    This section of your October 5, 2020 article is interesting:

    “This noticeable pattern of African traits is readily explained by Fuerle’s model of human origins. If Homo sapiens first evolved in Eurasia and small bands of this new species then entered Africa perhaps 60,000 years ago, they might naturally have hybridized with the local hominids of that continent, just like other early members of their species had done with Neanderthals or Denisovans. But since the pre-existing local populations were so much larger, a much greater portion of today’s genetic ancestry might have come from those other sources.”

    So, … by this comparison of the two cases of two cohorts interfacing, .. it turns out the relative size of the cohorts is an extremely important feature, here, in both cases, in the same way – no? In both cases, the cohort better adapted to cold conditions, much smaller in population size though, are said to possess the traits that ultimately lead to civilization, … i.e. – the small % admixture provided by the much smaller cold-adapted cohort, leads to oversized gene flow events emanating from the much smaller cohort, that makes all the difference, seems to be your general idea. Could be. But in that event, isn’t the relative population sizes, also a key variable, with respect to how these interfaces play out at the detailed level? It looks to be – no? Your idea here, seems to be that the cold-adapted cohort in both cases did not prevail in the new warmer region, yet interbred enough to pass on very adaptive novel traits into the much larger cohort, but then for the 2nd historical case (Eurasian homo sapiens impinging upon a much larger African rather more-so non-homo-sapiens cohort, in Africa), the Eurasian homo sapiens line did not extinguish (like Neanderthals did), but continued to exist outside of the much larger cohort’s environs.

    To me, sort of a super-birds-eye-zoomed-out perspective elephant-in-the-room, to this whole discussion, is the current outsized Sub-Saharan African fertility. To me, we need to deal with this current fertility issue in this discussion, as if it is a Darwinian artifact. The cold-adapted may more so tend towards enhanced gene flow gradients upon interfaces with the warmer-adapted, vis-a-vis the warmer-adapted, but tend to remain a more muted clade, population-wise, overall, nevertheless.

    What I am getting at here is, …. let’s say Fuerle has got it right, …….then how do we know that the prior (prior to the out of Eurasian events, into Africa, then) regressive introgression events, as occurred in Africa, are not ultimately actually adaptive nevertheless, … even in our current modern conditions, inclusive of the global cultural overlay informing geopolitical considerations, and such?

    You mean the Viking angle.

    No. I was responding a bit as a smart-aleck; you said, “clouds your vision,” I said…the Cloud People….as far as I know, there is no Viking connection.

    Both the Greeks and Romans indicated that much of their knowledge/wisdom came from the Egyptians. If you observe the painted Egyptian reliefs, you clearly see the ancient Egyptians were not Negros, as they are depicted together; the ancient Egyptians don’t appear to be pale, nor blonde. So, negros did not build Pyramids, unless they were slave labor, which also is depicted in the reliefs.

    Did the advanced technology from the Old Kingdom of Egypt just sprout from the sand/soil, as apparently White People did, since we are now to believe that Black people were all over Europe/Britannia and Scandinavia, and Cheddar Man was a blue-eyed negro?

    The Sumerians called themselves the black-haired people, and their tablets indicate their “gods” lived amongst them to teach the art of civilization. What about the Indus Valley people? –

    “To her …to this golden-locked Nirriti, I have rendered obeisance.” – [Adharva Veda]

    “Indra , the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair.” – [Rig Veda 10]

    There is only one group of people on earth with gold hair/bright eyes/pale skin; I’m not saying Europeans are gods on earth, but why is there such a push to remove White People from all ancient cultures? Why is there a push to suggest we stole all technologies/civilization from black/brown people? What they are hiding/dismissing is likely the truth.

    There is credible evidence of European-looking people all over the world in the distant past, yet it’s not politically correct to elude to or admit to this evidence.

    You are nuts just like Jared Diamond.

    Diamond, like Boas, is not to be trusted.

    I may be nuts, but I’m not wrong about genetics/race, and one has only to stroll through Baltimore and The Dominion in San Antonio, Texas to see that I am correct. This pattern is observed everywhere today and throughout history.

    supremacism, of pretty much any stripe, confuses me.

    Jewish supremacism is based on religious dogma; revenge; hatred; deceit; subversion; and a desire to rule wholly and to subjugate all gentiles wholly. They are specifically targeting Europa for a reason.

    White supremacy is based on reality and defense. Jim Crow, sundown towns, laws against miscegenation were all defensive strategies. Sure, some Whites have conquered/mistreated non-whites, but ALL people have behaved this way. Europa has been benevolent in a way that Jewry has not, and NO ONE not-Jewish seeks to live amongst Jewry, en masse, yet everyone, including our “conquered,” i.e. South Asians, Africans, Mexicans, seek to live amongst western people in western nations. LeBron James lives smack in the middle of Whoville – the land of the people who “hunt him daily.”

    People are arguing over the truth/reality and the obscurement thereof, and unfortunately, the Liars seem to be prevailing, and YOU are evidence of their success. Float your boat, Sasquatch Man….

    Oh, I was reading something a few weeks ago about how Israel mandated that Ethiopian Jews in Israel were prohibited from reproducing; I don’t know if that’s true, but it seems true. Why don’t you check into that for me?

    Yeah, … everyone does tend to have preconceived notions around ‘suspicions and trust’ and such, …. whenever one suspects one perceives a contrary strain within an entity, that was otherwise trustworthy (Mr. Unz in this case, …. but of course, Mr. Unz is going to have this same issue too, within his personal perspective, as well, as everyone will, if their life has not been boring that is …. hahahaha! …. and just for the record, a guy like Unz is going to have the least boring life of us all I imagine, … the outsized and determined curiosity and all).

    That whole thing (when suspicion arises) is sort of complicated and each one of us, when and if this comes up, will have differing reasons why we tend towards allowing suspicion to be triggered within our minds. At one point, … I erroneously, built in a false notion, upon reading Unz’s offerings, that there was some hyperbole about in the body of the articles, for which Unz usually concluded articles in rather droll fashion though (it seems like he doesn’t do that so much, any more, if at all now, … since October 7th we have all been more direct, I think it probably is). I finally took in a video interview Unz did at one point, along while back now, and realized, … I screwed up, …. no hyperbole, …. so mis-reading the droll (just a hallmark of the very intelligent, then). A bee in my bonnet at that time was I was suspicious that Unz wasn’t getting anywhere with attempts to draw Greenblatt and the ADL into forced confrontation, because maybe Unz wasn’t actually sincere. And I was dead wrong on that I think I found out (after Unz slapped me around some).

    Jeez – by this point, with all that has happened since October 7th, you would think the Algemeiner Journal would be knocking on Unz’s door by now and saying, hey come on over, we need to sort this out, you and Greenblatt, here at the Journal.

    Anyways, … these things take more time than most like me want (impatient bastard I am, I guess), just like every social consensus thing, …. and so, once I dropped my bias (tendency to see hyperbole where there is not), … I could see that is was nuts not to take Unz at his word, that his forte, this historical revisionism by way of a fairly deep study of alternative academic and popular books and articles and such (some of which were not ‘alternative, but mainstream at the time of writing), in the end, is what is one of the key elements (maybe even ‘the key element’) towards resolving this mess our overall culture, and world geopolitics, is in. Maybe Unz is getting impatient now too though.

    As an aside, this tendency I have to see hyperbole where there is not, I suppose, ….. maybe it is blinding me more than I know, ….. like this I now just recently wonder (because of talking with TipToe actually): – Maybe there are supremacists everywhere about me and I tend to write-off snide racial comments as hyperbole irl (i.e. – if I ever said one in my life which I have, it was that, really nothing beyond raw speculation, a stupid throw-away comment said out of anger or frustration, … or sometimes it could just be droll humor too, to my mind), … and perhaps I have been erroneously thinking the reality to be sort of an ethnic nationalistic stance, when I hear any such racial comment among such people prone to say such things on occasion, …. assuming their stance to be: ‘I do me, you do you, … and I gonna get displeased when you don’t let me do me’, …. isn’t this the primary plea of gentiles in-the-know about the JQ, …. that it is: ‘Jews, you don’t want to let me do me, … why you always want to ‘herd kittens’ – eh?’ Maybe I got it the wrong way around, all this time, and instead the snide racial comment here or there may instead be more indicative of more animus than the snide comment even overtly reveals, and I have been assuming less animus?

    So far, … I tend to see Leftists as cryptic racial supremacists (usually cryptic white supremacists, … the black Leftists often instead seem to be more overt black supremacists), 2nd and particularly 3rd wave feminists as cryptic gender supremacists, the manosphere as cryptically and maybe even somewhat overtly gender supremacist, various nations more-so ethnically supremacist than others, certain ehtnic groups more-so predisposed, ….. but that in the main, in the west, … all that is still the minority. But now I have to account for the likes of TipToe, ….. perhaps there are centrists (like myself) and rightests (in the precisely accurate sense of ‘the right’ which is ‘towards more individual liberty’ …. which I take TipToe to be) that are not hyperbolic upon the odd racial comment spoken I have heard just very occasionally, … instead the opposite (muting their true level of animus), …. well that means I indeed may be surrounded by supremacists, as a majority then, all around me on the social scene, …. and just don’t want to see it, or are too ‘neotenous Irish’ to see it, let’s say? Man is this supremacist thing ever confusing. Like …. Christianity is anti-supremacist, I thought – no? (except I mean ‘Christianity’ here, free of the stupid Institutionalizing overlay upon Christianity by way of blood covenant inheritance false-pretensions, ….’false’ because there was no blood covenants), … that Institutionalizing part is very supremacist, but then these Institutional Christians make their denominations open to anybody, though.

    I am starting to wonder if I need to apologize to my younger brother for not believing him about big preponderance of white supremacists in the Appalachian region (Carolinas, Virginia), seeming mixed in with a Pentecostal or Baptist religious movement or something he was saying… re discussion in the aftermath of Charlottesville. He was down there well prior to Charlottesville, for a good bit, and was dead sure. Sort of disrespectful of me, if he was dead sure, …. but I thought maybe his ideological vision was clouded or something though, … my brother seemed to be impervious to seeing the racket that was occurring at that time, … the Caucasian-knocking being conducted by the likes of Stephen Colbert and NPR at the time (and their black guests), … my brother seeing this same material as me (he actually pointing it out to me) and him not seeing these mainstream criticisms of white culture actually carried a black supremacist bent of their own.

    But then, that’s where Blue Grass comes from (Appalachia). I can’t believe those Blue Grass musical people are supremacists (some are fierce about identifying as Appalachian folk it’s true, .. nothing wrong with that a far as I can tell, .. I suppose I am like that too, …. somebody tell me I got to be ashamed of my roots, you kidding me? … no , I will not abide, ….. is there really anyone that would abide though, … like there are those that have to under duress, and that’s it, …. otherwise mental-health issues will probably eventually ensue, if one actually goes full Stockholm Syndrome). Sure doesn’t seem that the Blue Grass musicians are supremacist by way of their cultural offerings, anyways. My singing buddies: – no way they could be supremacist. The froggy guys I know, more often talk like that (but still hardly at all), but then when you watch their actual behavior (girlfriends and associates and such) it’s a big no,… it’s all just bravado.

    So confusing. Maybe supremacism is the big overriding unresolved issue, left right and center, all over the world, expressing in a multitude of ways, often hidden, in this era, and we are only in early innings that way, still? I dunno. Could be that. If so, … I hope it’s not still early innings though, if you know what I mean (i.e. – maybe supremacism needs to be well sorted out NOW, because of nukes, AI, and transhumanist pursuits).

    ‘Possibly because the lead team behind this one is from China, it’s more direct in tone than most others I have seen. And the results are incredible in my view, worthy of quoting at length….’

    I don’t mean to denigrate your claims — actually, they’re both interesting and significant.

    However, I would make two points.

    First, genetic ‘findings’ are often incredible — literally incredible. That is to say, they can contradict clear historical and archeological evidence — even imply the logically impossible. This isn’t a reason to dismiss the findings; it is a reason to wonder if they are the product of a developed and reliable science. If my methodology ‘reveals’ that you’re actually nine feet tall and live in Antarctica, perhaps that’s a reason to question my methodology rather than to doubt that you actually do live in Iceland as you claim and are some reasonable height.

    Second, somewhere you imply the evidence calls into question the ‘out of Africa’ hypothesis.

    I wouldn’t say that. I would say it only implies that we (i.e., all of us non-blacks) are merely descended from one or some of the humanoid populations in ancient Africa rather than any of the current blends.

    I’d also note that not just in Africa, but also in the Americas, Japan, and apparently elsewhere, various earlier, less successful forms of ancient humans seem to have preceded the current populations. See in particular Kennewick Man. Ancient humans may have spread around the world — but with technologies, cultures, and perhaps even genetic traits that only permitted them to survive as a very thinly scattered population. Then later, more successful, human populations swamped ’em.

    It happened to the Ainu in Japan. It happened to the American Indians here. There’s no reason to think that was the first time.

    Thanks for the exchange so far, …. it has been thought-provoking. As far as the ending paragraphs of your comment, …. well, …. yes it might be I am misjudging racial animus all round (like I said up-thread in comment #1112), and that then (this much higher level of non-white racial animus you apprehend, I think, that I perhaps misperceive) excuses what you would then agree (I think), would be your reactionary stance then, white-supremacism, vis-a-vis various other ethnic-supremacisms? I am good with going reactionary-mode like this when warranted (when others lie about you for instance, which is so nasty it can be taken a supremacist behavior, like Jared Diamond does, for instance), when whatever other ethnic side pushes, … but only to push back to the ethnic nationalist stance of:’I do me, you do you, … don’t cross me that way’ (which is not supremacist, but ‘live and let live’ western-style).

    Maybe I am even genetically predisposed to not see supremacist sentiment, it might be (comment #1112). Still trying to figure this supremacist thing out, (as a social phenomenon, it seems often cryptic, or reactionary, and in some cases profoundly unfounded),…. and so, if I still don’t have a good bead on it’s preponderance and such, ….. I won’t be able to accurately figure as to what may be going on psychologically, throughout the entire supremacist matrix, …. and since it looks to be all sync’ed (each supremacism linked to another, as each dyad occurring within more the one social mode … the gender-mode, …. the ethnicities-mode, ….. the spiritualties-mode; … and now the transhumanist-tech-mode), …. maybe we should all be focused now on figuring the supremacism preponderance, across cohorts, and in within social-modes, (maybe we should all take an interest in what seems to be a very pertinent narrow topic impacting on so many top global issues, now? … the precise preponderance of supremacism). Perhaps, if work were to have allowed to continue beyond Stanley Milgram’s era on his experimental queries, … we would now already have that answer. Perhaps some elites already do have those answers though (seems like we are all being manipulated that way, around supremacism themes, tailored to the psychology of each sub-group, and also tailored to the overall interlocking psychology of all the groups combined)…. I got quite the list along those lines besides the likes of Jared Diamond.

    On the earlier part of your comment, … well, though I disagree that civilization is all about Caucasians (it’s probably not just the Caucasians), …. the case of sub-Saharan cohorts (as outlined by nicland and Unz here just recently) having quite the wider genetic variability as measured in a number of ways, but as well with throwback, introgression-wise, with more primordial or ‘regressive’ hominin forms (denoting human-like, … I accidentally used wrong terms in earlier posts here on the historical genetic portion of the overall discussion here, … I used either ‘hominid forms’ or ‘hominoid’ forms, both wrong, .. meant: denoting ‘human-like’ though) as well as additional wide genetic variability partially as per admixtures by way of more modern hominin forms, perhaps as Unz has speculated should be deemed as homo sapiens subspecies, these modern hominin forms found in Eurasia for a couple of hundred thousand years or so,….. but more so of Denisovan-type precursor clade, I think for the sub-Saharans (and not so large admixture as with the more regressive hominin forms). Put that together with your many many claims about ‘substandard blacks, a hallmark of the sub-Saharans as a cohort don’t tend to create a modern social ordeer inclusive of the introduction of novel tech-modes, if left outside of interface with other homo sapiens clades,’, … which I don’t disagree with, …. it does look like that. Perhaps there is a species-prospects-enhancement that may stem from a conservation of the enhanced genetic variability aspect that is apparent in the cohorts haling from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas (as niceland outlined in comment #1102).

    Like I said a ways upthread, …. this whole thing is far from settled, and flogging speculations to fuel ideas that are political, that are then meant the fuel policy, … well, I think we are getting way way ahead of ourselves (but you will say there is no more time to waste). To that I say, .. if we act as you suggest, that will ensure conflict and therefore potentially unnecessary bad outcomes though. It’s better to watch now. Maybe one thing that also informs my opinion about all this, in my own region, is that Alberta has needed people, always has since the 1950’s oil boom, this has never abated, there hasn’t been enough Europeans available to emigrate, since about somewhere in the 1970’s, and so alot of what people may be pissed about elsewhere, really doesn’t seem to come up here.

    Alot of the new African blacks arriving in town are doing the food delivery thing in the early evening starting just before dinnertime, I notice. I go over to the local Tim Hortons at my local Walmart Power Center and many many restaurant venues there as well, …… it turns out that this Power Center thing that some people were mad about as not so good for pedestrians, is just great on the bike (made for the bike it seems, why would you go any other way?, … I put grocery bags on my handlebars, and take up to 40 pounds of groceries home that way too, … and it seems like I am virtually the only one doing it that way, in the winter anyways), …. I can easily ride there in 5 minutes (even though my house is located in quite a quiet setting), get a Tim Hortons extra large coffee, and then sit outside on the bench, facing the western sun, for about a half hour, and watch all the human action, while I get some sun on my face, and sunlight in my eyes. It doesn’t seem like they are pissed or anything. They seem nice and courteous. I think the black African guys like the driving around actually. I think being out and about that way might be something that is fine with them. Not sure though. Note sure about the compensation set-up. But I did notice that well over half these divers are black Africans, … and these are all fairly new arrivals, it looks like. Trying to put some more money on their family table, I guess.

    I will say the whole restaurant scene is quite transformed in my parts since covid. The delivery biz is gotta be 30% at dinner, drive thru 40% (for the fast food ones that have the drive thru), take-out yourself 15%; eat-in 15%. No problem getting a seat in the restaurants! If you sit there outside on the bench at dinner, and watch all the action in a whole string of restaurants in a strip section of the Power Center (it’s not just Walmart in the overall parking lot, ….. lots and lots of separated commercial-strips as well, as I’m sure same as in Texas), …. it’s like an intricate orchestration of phones/restaurants/internet/cars-with-drivers, … and is all calm and easy looking too. These technocrats did figure out a thing or two that actually well work, it seems. But I am glad I am retired and don’t have to gig it anymore. But all these giggers don’t look stressed (with the divers, the restaurant workers, or the WalMart employees, … and all kinds of ethnicities all together).

    Maybe what is going on here in Alberta is this:

    1) Caucasian explosion in Europe landed us here quite realcently. Alberta had a small population only a several decades ago.

    2)Economic circumstances particular to Alberta (both the newcomer’s and ours) bring people from pretty much absolutely everywhere, it seems, to here (not enough Europeans to fill demand since 1970’s)

    3) So naturally the people are otherwise fairly free from exposure to supremacist triggers, here

    4) So Alberta is like a microcosm of what happens when you go cosmopolitan-mode-like, with a plan

    5) So far, so good. Why? Maybe the world should try to find out why (since racial strife seems to be such a thing in so many places in the world). I don’t know why for sure, …. but I got my suspicions, … because of said circumstances, … westernism was able to flourish in more unvarnished fashion (that would be the conclusion with respect to the way I was raised, for instance, which was the normal way, then, here).

    Maybe the Alberta example can offer solutions? I got no reason at all to be mad at all those black African food delivery drivers I see. I don;’t know, …people of any kind tend to just like me wherever I go. That’s norml; though – right?

    @Tiptoethrutulips

    Further to my first reply comment (#1118), … I just did a thought experiment that is sort of quite revealing: I got one part of my family that came for western Ireland (1/8 my ancestry) that had to leave during potato famine in 1840’s (12 children, parents died on the boat ride, arrived on Manhattan Island). If you look at the Black American historian’s quite rigorous take (Thomas Sowell), … the people (which are partly my people) were deemed worse than ‘n*gg*rs’ apparently, …. feral hicks … pretty much subhuman. Well it’s true they were a weird and sorry lot. That movie ‘The Gangs of New York’ probably puts a romantic spin on it, much worse it was, ….. 100s of feral Irish gangs right on Manhattan island, duking it out and causing general mayhem, in parts. I come from the 12th of 12 of that, ….. sheltered by his next older sister who escaped to the convent, … she got him into a Catholic run orphanage, and watched over by his sister, blocked from knowing the other 10, and came out just fine, and apparently was a kind and charming man, … one of my great great grandfathers, of the people that say they hale from Brian Boru.

    So the thought experiment is: What if I was actually one of these my real ancestors (one of the other 10 let’s say), faced with these very circumstances, and was told to be ashamed of my roots as basically subhuman, … what would I do? I would spit in the face. Which proves the ferality and the whole bit (in the minds of the others). But it is all just basic human nature (both parties). And not accepting unnecessary shame is psychologically healthy.

    What I am saying is we should be very very careful about all this. It goes like this. Why would the Irish boy born into feral-making circumstances (too many people on the rocky west side of the island, too little food) finding himself on Manhattan Island in the 1840’s, not accept the shame? Because those people he is told to be ashamed about, …. maybe his gand-daddy, or further back, ….. guess what, …. they were there, just like his Dad was there, and he is there, right now standing before you, ….. so the Irish boy on Manhattan Island in the 1840’s is going to see it this way: ‘You are here in this world. I am here in this world. You say I don’t deserve to be so. I will not abide. And you are moron to boot (I am standing right here you fuckwad). So spit in the face it is.’

    These Irish put it all right in America within about two generations (and they are not supremacists, in American they just wanted to confront the disrespect, once that was achieved, …. back to being kind of poetic ‘lovers of this world’ type. God, the things the people in my family do , around that, .. Lucha Libre for instance, … where did that come from, out of left field? …. that’s my family though.

    Look … I’m pretty sure that part (confronting disrespect) isn’t just an Irish thing (it’s an everybody thing I believe, and I can vouch for the fact that indeed, for sure, is an Irish thing, though).

    So, ….first off the other people were more or less wrong about the Irish as subhuman trash as it turns out. Second of all, sub-Saharan Africans, …hearing your spiel, …. no, … it’s disrespectful, they are going to feel, …. there has got to be some good things about them, to say there isn’t, isn’t going to fly, for the reason they are here, right before your eyes, proving you wrong in a very deep existential way – see?

    They would be nuts to see it otherwise. You think they are dumb. In some ways, not so much, is what I am saying (don’t seem to fall for those kinds of psychological dirty tricks quite so much, … at least the black cohort in the U.S, seems like that; but I haven’t observed these new African blacks long enough to know if that is that is the case with them as well). But for American blacks, … it seems they are not dumb in the way whites are often dumb (whites will more-so accept unnecessary shame, for instance, … but it’s rather deeper than that even, …. the black pimp thing is sort of a revelation, ….callous, callous, callous, …. but knowing about human psychology with good self-awareness).

    It’s complicated, and we shouldn’t lean too far out over skis, on any of this, …. on the state of the genetic research on the one hand (still so many unknowns …. and the wider genetic variability among the mentioned cohorts, including Africans, is important), and we should not entertain any political takeaways from any of this entertaining-of-supremacism-themes, at this point. If you want to make immigration policy for instance, … you would be extremely wise to leave the entire supremacist aspect to your arguments out of it, and make your argument based on other metrics (in the U.S., the simple act of ‘choosing’ people for emigration there, instead of the border crisis, would be huge improvement over current policy though, even if you didn’t act to curtail the numbers, which is not really my business in any event, because I am Canadian). Like I said, the immigration aspect, even, does not apply to Alberta, though. The U.S. is probably leaving the door open for Canada/Alberta to scoop up some better immigrants that would rather go to the warmer, more vibrant and richer American jurisdiction with the much bigger economy. I am not complaining about that.

    Look, I am not suggesting that every White/European person is “superior” to all others by virtue of just being white, but I do not need to decipher the genome of the average German, compared to that of the average sub-Saharan African, to know that they produce a vastly different society, in general and as a group, in terms of local behaviors, culture, and standards of living.

    Alberta does not need a mass of entry level workers. Based on what I understand about the climate, terrain, and industry of Alberta/Canada, what is needed are engineers, machinists, competent tool pushers, heavy equipment handlers, infrastructure builders/maintenance workers, and creative/intelligent/diligent people to work with and around difficult terrain/climate, and I am telling you – blacks/browns are being sent to wreak havoc/disrupt society by Open Society organizations and NGO’s, and by subversives within our own governments, like That Goblin Mayorakas, Not an Ethnic Cuban/European. The people swarming the borders of America, Canada, and Europe will not elevate, nor sustain, western nations. “How did you get here? They brought us in a van. Who’s they? I don’t know.” – This is no joke. Go ahead, ask new arrivals how they arrived.

    I know it seems ludicrous, but if you spend some time studying the 20th century methods used to bring down Russia/Eastern Europe, then Germany, by internal strife, which includes mass immigrants/refugees; conflicts; violence; the constant agitation against the dominant culture; a lying/heavily censored press – you will begin to recognize something nefarious and increasingly familiar –

    “At home it became more and more clear that we harboured men who ate the bread of our soil under the protection of Hungarian soldiers, who drank the water of our wells and slept peacefully, whilst putting forth every possible effort to make us lose the war.”

    “The overthrow of authority and of traditions are the necessary preliminaries to the destruction of a nation.”

    “The crowd approved and failed to notice that the Semitic race was only to be found at the two ends of the queue, and that not a single representative of it could be seen as a buyer among the crowding, the poor, and the starving…. This was symbolical, a condensed picture of Budapest. The sellers, the agitators, were Jews. The buyers and the misguided were the people of the capital.”

    “[…]the newspapers wrote long articles about the Spanish “flu.” The epidemic was serious, people met their friends at funerals, but the newspapers exaggerated intentionally; they published alarming statistics and reported that the undertakers could not cope with the situation: people had to be buried by torchlight at night. The panic-stricken crowd could scarcely think of anything else. The terror of the epidemic was everywhere, and the greater terror which threatened, the brewing revolution, was hidden by it. The press, as if working to order, hypnotised the public with the ghost of the epidemic while it belittled the misfortunes of the unfortunate nation and rocked its anxiety to sleep by raising foolish, false hopes of a good peace….Our arms laid down! Foreign occupation! The King has relieved the perjurers! A republic in Hungary! And one of the most important papers in Hungary writes of all this as if it were the accomplishment of long cherished hopes, as if it rejoiced that “the past of a thousand years” had been buried! Not a word of sympathy, of consolation.”

    “Then something suddenly dawned on me: in this paper a victorious race was exulting over the fall of a defeated nation! And the defeated, the insulted nation was my own!… So they hated us as much as all that, they, who lived among us as if they were part of us. Why? What have we done to them? They were free, they were powerful, they fared better with us than in any other country. And yet they rejoiced that we should disappear in dishonour, in shame, in defeat. I threw the newspaper away—It was an enemy.”

    “My first thought was “I must telephone to the police!” Then I realized that even that impulse belonged to the past. What good would it be? There is nobody who can maintain order. I thought of the fugitives in our woods. The country was swarming with deserters, released convicts, small bands of burglars. We shall have to get used to it—we shall have to get used to many things.”

    May there survive in my book that which perishes with us: the honour of a most unfortunate generation of a people that has been sentenced to death. May those who come after us see what tortures our oppressed and humiliated race suffered silently during the year of its trial. May An Outlaw’s Diary be the diary of our sufferings. When I wrote it my desire was to meet in its pages those who were my brethren in common pain; and through it I would remain in communion with them even to the time which neither they nor I will ever see—the coming of the new Hungarian spring.

    Thomas Sowell is admirable, and certainly intelligent, however he did say, and I heard him, that sub-Saharan Africans did not develop as Europa did due to non-navigable coastlines. That is utter BS, and I was shocked that he said it.

    So, the question is – were the Irish/Scotts “feral” compared to the English? Yes. English society was considerably more advanced, BUT the English and the Celts are a like people, therefore they will assimilate completely, and the Irish are fully capable of rising to the expectations/requirements of Anglo-Saxon society because they are mostly the SAME, physically and intellectually.

    The Romans left, and the Brits picked up where the Romans left off; the Dutch/English/French left Rhodesia/South Africa/Haiti – what happened? What happens in cities in America wherein Whites lose the majority? It’s not rocket science….

    My paternal grandfather was born in Ireland, and he was brilliant, with an encyclopedic knowledge of nearly everything, and he is the reason I have notated most of the non-fiction books I have read since grade school; he made me do it. He was adopted by a Welsh woman and a Scottish man – they are a LIKE people, and that’s the difference and the truth/reality.

    It is unkind to say these things when there are people that took such good care of my Mom, when she had to be there, because she was wheel-chair-bound with dementia and now dying, and choosing to die in serenity and goodwill despite the dementia (she told me that much earlier on, after she saw the writing on the wall, … she chose how to meet the challenges of her last years, she chose that attitude, …. and this woman taught her boy stuff right to the end, and all my brothers and sisters too). There was one caregiver in particular, that my dying mother adored. I could see why.

    Thinking a bit more about this supremacism phenomenon. I looked back at Tom MacDonald’s older offerings just a bit (not as musically good as God-Mode generally it seems, … I hate auto-tune), and low and behold, he is saying what I am saying:

    Powers that be (probably with huge oversized Jewish influence within these powers that be) are arranging things so it is: ‘You and him fight’. Fucking brilliant bastard this Tom MacDonald, it turns out. Sees pretty much it all, apparently. He says: People, fuck the current lying subversive powers that be, … instead respect yourself, … which means you gotta respect others.

    This is the thing people. Once the NW European phenotypic man (neoteny and all) develops this self -respect (very very hard to develop), he refuses manipulation. By refusing the manipulation he slowly seizes the power. That is precisely where we are now at, in this whole thing. Canada telling America to fucking man-up already, is part of this.

    Over at Strategic Culture Foundation blogspot, Alastair Crooke leads his latest article, dated today April 22nd, entitled “Will Zionism self-destruct?”, with this:

    “In the summer following Israel’s 2006 (unsuccessful) war on Hizbullah, Dick Cheney sat in his office loudly bemoaning Hizbullah’s continuing strength; and worse still, that it seemed to him that Iran had been the primary beneficiary from the U.S. 2003 Iraq war.

    Cheney’s guest – the then Saudi Intelligence Chief, Prince Bandar – vigorously concurred (as chronicled by John Hannah, who participated in the meeting) and, to general surprise, Prince Bandar proclaimed that Iran yet could be cut to size: Syria was the ‘weak’ link between Iran and Hizbullah that could be collapsed via an Islamist insurgency, Bandar proposed. Cheney’s initial scepticism turned to elation as Bandar said that U.S. involvement would be unnecessary: He, Prince Bandar, would orchestrate and manage the project. ‘Leave it to me’, he said.

    Bandar separately told John Hannah: “The King knows that other than the collapse of the Islamic Republic itself, nothing would weaken Iran more than losing Syria”.

    Thus began a new phase of attrition on Iran. The regional balance of power was to be decisively shifted towards Sunni Islam – and the region’s monarchies.”

    Mmmm. Just as I have been suggesting. There is an American hegemonic brute. There are Israeli interests. There are double-siloed-supremacists known as The House of Saud (a supremo-supremacist organization amidst a nation of enforced supremacist ethos) sitting on that big huge prize. And these 3 parties collude. Left unsaid is what they collude about. They collude about the petrodollar scheme, each, for own different reasons. Maybe Bandar got the idea outlined in that excerpt from his Israeli colleagues after the House of Saud was double-crossed by the Israeli interests by way of the 9/11 events, …. i.e. – the 9/11 double-cross was about this: There is only going be one mastermind in the triangulated cabal, was the message (not the hegemon per se and not the House of Saud).

    Telegram comment posted by The Kevin MacDonald Society:

    “Given that some ethnic groups—especially ones with high levels of ethnocentrism and mobilization—will undoubtedly continue to function as groups far into the foreseeable future, unilateral renunciation of ethnic loyalties by some groups means only their surrender and defeat—the Darwinian dead end of extinction. The future, then, like the past, will inevitably be a Darwinian competition in which ethnicity plays a very large role.

    The alternative faced by Europeans throughout the Western world is to place themselves in a position of enormous vulnerability in which their destinies will be determined by other peoples, many of whom hold deep historically conditioned hatreds toward them. Europeans’ promotion of their own displacement is the ultimate foolishness—an historical mistake of catastrophic proportions.”

    Kevin MacDonald, as far as I am aware, is a competent Darwinist.

    As an interesting aside (the MacDonald surname thing), … I now decide to take a close look at pics of MacDonald’s countenance (given what I have otherwise recently more-so noticed about my own clan’s morphology and such), … and there it is again, …. the same sort of head shape as Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald, … same as elements of my extended family that ended up as a phenotypic expression among my closet relatives, which family ancestry has a storied MacDonald aspect to it.

    Kevin MacDonald is the guy that got me to really start head-scratching, many years ago now, around his claims of probable group selection strategies, … really quite controversial when MacDonald brought it up, because I think the default mainstream academic stance in this debate within Darwinian circles, at that time, with respect to the possibility and probability of group selection being a mode among di-morphic sexual selecting species (as opposed to only hiving or ‘queening’ species, likes ants and bees, for which it was already known that group selection modes do in fact operate), was that these di-morphic sexually selecting species do not operate group selection, but only individual selection. Then E.O. Wilson featured in all this too, because he contended that group selection could also occur within di-morphic sexual selecting species (like most mammals, including us) which went against Darwinian consensus at that time like I said, but then, E.O. Wilson collaborated with some maths/code-computations types, and it was concluded the E.O. Wilson was correct with respect to his suspicions … group selection can and does operate within species like homo sapiens, then, as well.

    Kevin MacDonald’s arguments around all this were rather subtle, … so I see him as someone capable of nuanced queries around Darwinism (unlike Jared Diamond, let’s say). So Kevin would know, that ultimately, the way this works, is that new homo sapiens clades will develop, out of the conflicts he points to. Pretty sure Kevin MacDonald is not suggesting we start world war 3 , or something, over this. Pretty sure, he brings all this up, for decades now, because he wants to foster discussion (same as Unz in that regards), so that all this can be conducted in a more open-eyed way, by everyone involved, so that this evolving clade development thing, doesn’t necessarily have to lead to bloody conflict, but yet again. I am pretty sure that means that what Kevin MacDonald is actually counseling, with respect to more open-eyed people on all this, like yourself. In that quote, to my mind, Kevin is concerned about two things there, as he well described within the larger context of his entire offerings (which is left unsaid in the quote):

    1) Jewish duplicity is apparent within the larger cohorts they reside in (as seemingly group selected)

    In that quote, to my mind, Kevin is concerned about two things there, as he well described within the larger context of his entire offerings…

    Two things, huh? No, Prof. Kevin MacDonald is concerned about one thing and one thing only, ie the deliberate genocide of European peoples by our eternal enemy.
    You should give his magnum opus, The Culture of Critique, a read one of these days, if you don’t believe me.

    Yeah, I guess that’s a pretty big weakness of mine, lol.

    Listen, there are exciting things afoot in Canada.

    Have you ever heard of a guy named Jeremy Mackenzie? He’s a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces and he has been live-streaming for quite some time.

    Here’s his latest Telegram comment:

    No country in the western world is as much of a mess and disgrace as Canada is.

    Its equally heartbreaking as it is infuriating to see it reduced to this astonishing level of embarrassment from top to bottom.

    The authority figures must be mercilessly, unforgivingly challenged and opposed at every inch. Every political party and very institution are ideologically captured by the same spirit of self serving malevolence and weakness.

    The fundamental character and constitution (or lack of) of these authority figures must be pulled out of the soil of society by its roots and rejected wholeheartedly with the passion of religious fanaticism if there is to be any hope for a future resembling human dignity.

    There are no legal or democratic avenues that exist that would enable popular public sentiment to be considered, much less implemented.

    The Canadian public at large, particularly the working class are not represented whatsoever by our political class and our courts are ideologically captured.

    Working towards the long term objective of popular cultural revolution is the only mechanism that could provide relief to the Canadian people. Anything less is a dead end of an effort that will be compromised, cracked and disintegrated by the corrosive attitudes of weakness that permeate our society.

    More than ever are aware of this predicament and in time, even the boomer conservatives will be forced begrudgingly to admit that we have been correct in our assessment and we welcome their eventual and inevitable inclusion.

    There is no political solution.

    The solution is a cultural shift with strength enough not to ask politely, but force its way to the forefront and make no apologies for whoever and whatever it crushes in its path to doing so.

    Our existence is at stake and I will make no compromises with those who threaten the safety and happiness that our children, family and friends deserve by birthright.

    In the very near future, I will be formally establishing a men’s nationalist organization aimed at preserving our identity and right not just to exist in our own home but to embody and dominate it as it’s rightful sons. Work on this effort has been ongoing for months with dozens of trusted individuals.

    I, as much as anyone else, have days where I wish I could just leave all of this alone and simply go home. The problem is that home no longer exists, and I would prefer to struggle with a death grip on shattered remnants in hopes of eventual repair than to quietly die off in a ditch so that it can be handed off to India and Pakistan.

    There are three things you can count on in this life. Death, the sun and stars, and the immutable stubborn ferocity of a Scotsman that’s heard enough lies.

    Further to my first reply comment to you (#1141), … I just checked the Wikipedia page on the ‘The Culture of Critique’ trilogy, .. check it out (if you like, as I always mean, …. I don’t think I am in the biz of telling people what to do, more-so in the biz of telling people where they may seek better insights, thinking-wise, if they wish), … the Wikipedia article features alot of criticism about MacDonald’s premises and overall themes emanating from very prominent Canadian Jewish Academic – our widely beloved Steven Pinker (who also obfuscated around the Ivy League admission fiasco, as well, … a huge huge red flag to my mind, … I mean the Ivy League admissions fiasco as well outlined both by Unz and Kevin MacDonald at the time, and then Steven Pinker being one of the great Jewish pretenders, on the other side). Steven Pinker blessed Jared Diamond’s book ‘Germs, Guns & Steel’ as well, even though it turns out Jared Diamond is a Caucasian-bashing bunkmeister.

    What I am getting at here is that, at quite the hi-level abstract level around Darwinism themes as discussed within the Academy, …. there are Jews who see it one way (the wrong way, Diamond/Pinker for instance, .. and it should be noted that Diamond’s bunk-spinning, Germs, Guns & Steel-wise, seems to have taken-in our very own Ron Unz, as well, …. but not too sure on that, though, .. though I have tried to find out more about Unz’s deeper thoughts around this).

    Also, as an aside on the Jeremy Mackenzie material (I still haven’t checked it out, will take a bit of time, that), … but by way of quotes you offered, I largely agree with at least some of it. The Trudeau admin is a strange admixture (hahaha! – nice new nuanced synonym we have here now, in ‘admixture’) of many faux-west corporatist globalist themes. Most interesting.

    Anyways, … the more astute among the colleagues I came with (still good friends from grade school days/old neighborhood days, and the long history makes that best friends, in the main), that I disagree about many things with, nevertheless… of various ideological lenses, .. are starting to all see the same thing: A caste system is in the strong process of being widely set-up in the U.S. jurisdiction, and that strains of that are now apparent here in Canada (some of these old-time colleagues are snowbirds, and hang with Americans down south during the winter too). This is still absolutely huge disagreement, around who is responsible, what are the modes of this caste system, and so therefore, what the correct solutions maybe (thus the, … ‘maybe not my concern, at age 60+’ type-thing). I think both Tom MacDonald, and Kevin MacDonald (and Heather MacDonald, as well, in her more narrowly defined bailiwick, I think, … as well as Norm MacDonald’s thing, back in the day), is well worth listening too. Maybe we should listen to the MacDonalds, right about now, is what I say (wouldn’t be the first time, this, the dynamic at play … the MacDonald clan have been one of the great paternalizing strains that have emerged in this human world, for a reason, maybe it is).

    But it clearly isn’t European ethnicities against the world. For goodness-sake it’s the Europeans, especially the western Europeans, especially of this the NW Europeans, that have recently spread seed all over the world – Caucasian seed. Here in Canada, very very early on, as soon as there was any of this Scots-Irish/French/Irish/Scottish seed around (1600’s), …. the cross-breeding thing was well apparent.

    Think: current day South American admixtures, or Filipinos that way, etc. etc. (among the southwest Europeans’ widespread genetic influence) and here in Canada, the healthy vibrant Metis community came up that way, as same for blacks in America (by way of NW European genetic influence).

    The western European (and especially the NW European) gestalt is different than what you wish for. Here it is (expressed in those 14 word terms, but now more than 14 words): “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for our children, which is all the people we find, and all our children, because our cold-adapted traits, re gene flow gradients, are that fucking good.”

    Yes, when the creature depicted in the image on post #1134 shows up to “borrow” one’s phone/car, or separate one from one’s britches, or arrives to Whoville to enroll his offspring at school with one’s kids, one tends to focus on THAT aspect of the Hebrew Ball that smacks us all upside our head everyday whilst we’re out hunting millionaire basketball players…so, then maybe we wonder – why are the blacks in all the thoughtful Hollywood movies about swimmers, football players, basketball players, and fighter pilots so different from the blacks we see in Baltimore, Detroit, Jackson, St. Louis, Haiti, so on?

    Speaking of taking an eye off the ball, where are you on these inquiries/suggestions/observations –

    Well, boo-hoo, Mr. Man. What about your predatory instincts?

    Have you ever heard a white person whinge about the European slave trade? How many white people even know about the European slave trade?

    Yes, pacifism for thee (Europa), but not for me (every other ethnic group). And, we are that fucking good.

    What in God’s name are the other groups doing to secure their traits, or gene flow, around the world? They are spreading around in droves, curiously assisted by the most insular, domineering, selective, duplicitous, self-serving race of humans to have ever roamed the earth, and yet you don’t give a thought to the multiple ways they are accomplishing their end goals and destroying what your forebears built and how you are one of their many helpers. There will always be a Ruler; who will it be? It can be legitimately argued that Europeans also spread benevolence (the abolishment of slavery), whilst the MolochPeople have brought mostly ruination, sorrow and strife. Whom do you choose? Blacks will/could never rule Whites without assistance from other non-blacks.

    This segment within the world’s people has worked to demonize the notion of self-determination and ethnic solidarity within only the people of Europa, which is their favored environment; they follow us around wherever we go. There is a reason WE are their target.

    If you would just zip up your pants when the StaplesGirls dance and sing, and read a bit of alternative history of the Bolsheviks/Jews in Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe, you might see a few parallels with what’s happening now, and hordes of black and brown people will do us no favors, nor will they help us, until it’s too late; even if they switch, they don’t have the same capabilities – that’s why we are the primary targets.

    You (and Torba) seem to be unaware that balkanization has not occurred in my Alberta city. Didn’t happen. Despite a fairly long history now, of high levels of immigration, from every corner of this Earth (it’s not just ‘mostly dot Indians’, as you seem to think … it’s truly cosmopolitan).

    This is what is happening now (particularly since the aftermath of covid) in my Alberta city:

    – moves to rig neighborhood groupings around massive retail power centers, where pretty much all services are available (which you can easily and conveniently reach on bike!). This all has now been constructed and in place for quite some time now.

    – within these super-neighborhood silos (several surrounding neighborhoods all using same central retail power center), exist a cosmopolitan home ownership, and a cosmopolitan small business ownership, and a cosmopolitan work force. However, the super-neighborhood grouping is just small enough still, to instill a sense of community within all the activity occurring there at the Power Center.

    – religious affiliation is a very strong human right in Canada. Canadian bedrock policy (that has since been strongly attacked by the current Trudeau admin though, whilst they claim they are doing the opposite though, … I could give you all kinds of crazy examples, that in the main, taken together, make Trudeau to look like … I dunno, …. some sort of clown I guess, … a heavily psychologically disordered individal, that seems to want people mad at each other so he can play-act Big Daddy) promotes ‘live and let live’ respect for the religious life, of all kinds. We find, from scholars such as the controversial Edward Dutton, that the ‘religious instinct’ may in fact be a term denoting a hallmark of genomic fitness. The prior anecdotal experience out of Canada strongly supports Dutton’s said take. Ergo: Canada’s past policy to strongly support rights to religious affiliation (you know, you could say that emerged at least partly as a result of the British Isles make-up of so many of the first Caucasian Canadians, …. and of that it was more-so the Scots-Irish, the Scottish, and the Irish portions of the British Isles people that came to Canada). Take just the Scottish people of today, worldwide, … at least 30 million strong in the world today (double the size of Jewdom). So, due in part to that, that is why Canada has been a beacon for people with the religious instinct. Which end-up being more-so genomically healthy people. Of all kinds of religions, though.

    Here is the deal: The Scottish boys are not wrong. When there is philosophical disagreement in this world, we find that the Jews are then, usually the wrong party vis-a-vis the Scottish boys. And there is twice as many Scottish boys. And is not just Scottish boys (that’s only a portion of the British Isles, … which British Isles, particularly these peripheral strains within the British Isles I have indicated, were all well-affected by Danish and Norse genetic influences too).

    The Scottish boys do not support supremacism. Jewdom does (amongst others, though). Both strains play-out within the west because both groups are powerful strains within overall western circles, because both groups possess good minds. Despite the ‘good minds’ aspect, the Jews are wrong but yet again. We win. They lose (around rational discourse that is) but yet again. And there is sour grapes (Jewish sour grapes emanating left, right and center). And the issue therefore is beyond raw-smarts, it’s more about struggle and and an individual’s response to that (one party goes philosophically wrong, precisely there).

    And here we are. I think it’s sort of like: If you don’t get it and see what’s actually happening here, you need a slap, which is OK, .. you are a man, .. you can take it. I don’t actually think you are a supremacist at heart. You never actually said so yet.

    Further to my first reply to this your particular comment (still in moderation), …. think this through: Ron Unz (among many others) claim that the various wide-ranging strains of the Judaic, as practiced, does not actually possess a nuanced central thesis (because you can believe pret near anything and still belong), … however the grossly moronic (in the malignant narcissistic way) central thesis that therefore results, is this: ‘The Jews are God’s Chosen People’, which then becomes, by default, the only single central thesis. No more, than just that.

    That’s not the way it works within westernism, inclusive of it’s religious manifestation – Christianity. True Christianity (the actual raw Jesus message), is an extremely strong counsel away from supremacist themes. So there it is, … the contrast right there, that has been tied together by the institutionalizing overlay upon Christianity (the admonishment that you must believe that the Christians inherited or otherwise usurped the Jew’s blood covenants with God), … as such, by way of this interface-mode, has unduly supercharged the influence of one side within what otherwise is a philosophical debate, …. which is a massive fucking con job, …. it’s so easy to see on many many fronts, ….. for instance, the Greek Stoics, from which our western tradition ultimately hales, … probably of a paler countenance than many people want to believe (TipToe not wrong about that part), as later well-exemplified by the later writing of Marcus Aurelius for instance, show a high degree of philosophical, psychological, analytical, spiritual, virtuous-sense-of-the-moral, and self-knowing discourse, … surpassing anything ever coming out of the Judaic, or really even Jewdom for that matter (though individuals like Freud were very very perceptive indeed).

    What I am saying is that, …. let’s say what you could take to be the prime sweet-spot western peoples in this day and age, which are these Scottish and other British Isles peripheral types (inclusive of their Dane and Norse influences too), …. by genuine Jewish measures (or many kinds of rational measures really) are superior, yet we do not claim that. That’s the conundrum. It’s muchly psychological. Pretty frustrating, from our true-west perspective. In the end, there is no way the more Cluster-B-like party will prevail though. It would be way good, to just cut to the chase now, …. so there is no more unnecessary massively idiotic and moronic bloodshed and such. It’s not a fucking superiority issue for fucksakes (and the Jews are plenty smart, as well, so it’s not a ‘dumb’ thing either). It’s a straight-up ‘childish’ issue.

    I assume same for Rurik (not supremacist). Truth Vigilante already claimed ( I think) he is not a supremacist. Ditto for Colin, I am quite sure. Clearly Johnathan Revusky is not for supremacism (he strongly argues against it).

    You are not claiming the supremacist mantle for yourself then?

    I’ll say this about supremacy. They falsely accused the German people of a principle they themselves embrace and staunchly adhere to… the principle of the “master race.”

    The G-d of the Universe is the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In other words, the Jewish people consider themselves the god of the universe. You can’t get more supremacist than this.

    Show me anything remotely similar in the most sacred scriptures or secular texts of the European people. It simply doesn’t exist.

    Put simply, I’m a White nationalist and WNs believe in self-determination for every distinct peoples. Japan for the Japanese. India for the Indians and Europe for the Europeans (including European-derived homelands).

    In short, if an ethno-state is good enough for the Jewish people then it’s good enough for the European people (including European-derived people).

    Good, then realize, in Canada, our Caucasian predecessors, of same ethnicity as me, came over and spread seed all over the place (the male line), … same as happened among the male line among the deep ancestry of French buddies of mine, and that was because the home-base women wanted the seed, and the home-base men were willing to grant some respect, man-on-man. Now the rest of the world comes to us. Entire families ready to be seeded and now, ready to be egged too (both ways now). And seeded and egged they are.

    Those European nations each need to figure out their own issues, around ethnic purity and such. But with the case of Canada, if you really expect something different to be going on (the current recent scale is suspicious though, I agree), with respect to need of people, for which the white ones really are not available at scale, you are simply deluded. I have given you more than enough for that to be obvious. All you seem to have is some stats. So what. Stats don’t tell you the deal on the ground (how to interpret that stats).

    Toronto. OK. Back when this was all getting a bit heated, in Canada, after the George Floyd manipulated race provocations (our CBC so ghoulishly stand-out as a globalist-shill bunk-shiter, for instance) … I noticed something weird coming out of the Toronto region, … in particular there was this sort of comic-duo, two black dudes, one looked to be 2nd generation African, … but more like Somali-type and 2nd sidekick dude seemed to hail from the Toronto region’s long historied Jamaican community, that had a blogspot/youtube channel together, that were popular with the Toronto black community, that were just so fucking obnoxiously ignorant on this race issue … if that is what is getting you going, and that is actually a thing in Toronto like I suspect, then say so (when I saw that really quite popular stuff, at the George Floyd time, back then, .. it got me going too, even though I’m out west).

    These guys were claiming that the cops stop them all the time because they are black and racial profiled, which then kind of excuses all kinds of racial animosity they may wish to otherwise illogically and rather obnoxiously harbor. Really really dumb dickheads. Unless the cops really do a general racial target policy, in Toronto, all the time in all general circumstances, just because (I don’t think that is the case but please correct me of I am wrong, you would know alot more than me, living in Toronto area). Maybe this comic-duo, whose main thing was ‘game’ and ‘woman-pick-up’ and so into the psychology of bedding white woman too, was one of the things they liked to talk about in a serious way apparently (I noticed this when I looked back at their offerings after discovering their obnoxious spiel because it sort of blew up a bit there, their ‘cry me a river, me being a victim of systemic racism in white-privileged Canada’ vids, if I recall right), …..well, … to my mind the whole thing really looked like this issue, in reality, was probably these guys should examine more-so who they hang with, criminality-wise, if they really get stopped as much as they claim (or perhaps they are flogging crack, as a side line, in the middle of the night when the cops are more likely to stop for any old reason, … the lady-chasing thing can get expensive, you know).

    In my City (much smaller than Toronto) I would have a hankering to go talk to those guys and confront them about probably being idiots.

    The Leftist culture in Canada also tried that out west, in my Alberta city, … you know … it’s the fucking CBC, …. featuring disgruntled black guy mad about hearing a ‘n*gger’ word, randomly on the street from a block away, oh boy, … let’s go running down the street now, recording on the go, … chasing excitement the air, ….where did the n*gger word come from?, where do that n*gger word come form?, which it seems like dude is imagining actually, … hey some white guys in a car stopped at the traffic lights at an intersection, let’s go open the passenger door at the street corner, in traffic, and see what happens, because racism! Or (also the despicable and barf-bag worthy CBC) some black guy complaining because he was a complete utter asshole and got taken down hard by the cops. Are you kidding me? You struggle with the cops in my town, whilst putting you in handcuffs and you don’t think you are going to get smacked around but good? None of that CBC bunk-shite takes here, it seems. The blacks don’t bite on it (nor other minority ethnic groups). Because they know it’s just dumb shit politico-style (we hate Trudeau out west, … he is widely seen as pansy-assed cluster-B-cunt, … the girly-man ploys makes it cunt-style with him). If you go slightly weird with cops around here, you are strongly risking being taken to the ground, too bad so sad about your prior shoulder injury that hurts now, and all that, you lose, the cops win, if you are an idiot, and everyone here knows.

    But the worst of the CBC bunk was the so-called scholars they sponsored. We do have very giddy black supremacist academics out in your Canadian parts, paid out of government coffers, one who is sort of gay-sissy-mode and Leftist-stupid, as stupid as they come (but university professor- wut?), that get full mana-making treatment, compliments of the government-teated CBC (‘mana’, …. once again, meant that in terms of Unz’s excellent word re news-cycles). what the hella weird guy’s name again, now?. Just a sorry excuse, for anything really, that guy. Do the blacks actually want that weird guy talking for them? Out west, pretty sure it would be easy to punk his ass, that way, so maybe now it would be (out west here that is) he blew his fake-back (no one has actually got his back!) and is hanging by a thread at his government gig. He would probably then, shut the fuck up on the bunk, to protect that nice undeserved salary he somehow lucked into. What was the wierdo’s name again (he was on alot of CBC intellectual panels back in those George Floyd days), .. Ronaldo or something, …. OK I found it … Rinaldo Walcott.

    Thar was back in the George Floyd times, but then last summer the CBC was sponsoring this idea out west here (in a whole series of articles), that it was racist to ask someone where they are from in my City – hahahahahaha!!!, and some more hahahahahah!, . no, ….. everyone here sees that is fucking some more Trudeau-nuts-for-brains. We ask people where they are from, all the time, out west here, if you are curious, and feel like it, … no one is going to think that is weird. Fuck. Trudeau has got a diseased soul or something. I dunno. Its very sad (form him, and for us).

    Hello, Repulsky.

    You continue to prove yourself to be the weasel you were destined to be; my apologies to Rikki Tikki Tavi, although a mongoose is not a weasel, but everyone seems to think he was something he wasn’t, and yet weasels are actually fearsome little creatures, who are actually quite brave and admirable, as creatures go, so we have a bit of a dilemma, don’t we? Which is often the case when dealing with Jews, who often pretend to be something they are not….perhaps the image of an Octopus consuming the globe is more appropriate, yet Octopi are amazing creatures, and quite friendly, so that’s an unfair comparison, and where does that leave us?

    It leaves us here – you don’t like that you get your ass handed to you by a girl. That’s a southern turn of phrase….

    What you can’t understand, as I assume you’re inherently incapable of understanding honorable conduct, is that choosing to communicate with random people around the world due to a genuine concern over what is happening to the western world and to western people is an empty and wasteful expenditure of time and effort if you do not converse honestly regarding your point of view and experiences. Dishonest people will lie to your face, by the way, so internet commentary is not necessarily fraught with dishonesty or imposters. You clearly have no interest in anything other than shaming, ridiculing, or terrorizing people, as misery does love company, and Jews, in general, are happiest when non-Jews are miserable. Carry on, then….Leibowitz, carry on.

    I’m 64. Of course it’s the same way here in Alberta. I bet you don’t live in that precise neighborhood though, anymore. Sounds like maybe there is a religious school or a mosque around that locale now. So go to the next neighborhood over, and it’s going to be more closely aligned with the overall Toronto demographic (very very cosmopolitan, including alot of whites) – right?

    Also, if you are Canadian, why do you think we only import ragheads? You would know that’s not true.

    Also, if you are Canadian, I guess you know this dream of yours, of enforced, legislated, and perhaps militarily-achieved ethnic segregation, is actually just nuts, and just a pipe dream, and is not ever ever going to happen, unless it is manipulated to happen, (Trudeau wants to play weird anti-anti-hero around that, in order to get ‘Me Big Daddy’ feelz, but he is just a useful idiot) and if it is manipulated to happen like that, the outcome will definitely be against your interests. Trudeau is like Obama 2.0, that way. Somebody going around pretending they are the next best thing to sliced bread, as far as racial healing goes, … yet end-up doing everything possible to sow racial division, …. and both Obama and Trudeau have done that in the most gay prissy way too, …. they were both chosen for task because they both have huge obvious flaws, … just the type of flaws precisely required for task.

  1150. @Wild Man

    but what about then stepping over that line, to do things like take what doesn’t belong to you and such, … are your good with supremacist shit like that for yourself? (I already know you don’t like it when the Jews do it).

    You are conflating the previous ages of human expansion and conquest with the modern ideals of moral/historical relativism.

    The Jews have long given up the notion that they should fight their foes head-on; they use money and subterfuge, and I guess Christianity, to clobber us all and achieve their ends. Should I beat this dead horse? – The Atlantic Slave Trade; Sugar/Cotton Export; Ulysses S. Grant and Order #11 = NAACP; SPLC; Immigration! Integration! Abolish Whiteness! – This is what the Jews do. It’s not the same as European aggression. What great Jewish army marched into Palestine to wrest that nation from the Turks?

    Regardless of what mainstream history reports about western imperialism, every nation/land invaded had/has a history of monstrous behavior that often paled in comparison to the known behaviors of Europeans, and it is ONLY European people who do NOT have a segment of current population still living in Neolithic societies, and that includes Asians. East Asians certainly have an intellect and character for great beauty and high civilization, yet the most successful and advanced cities of East Asia were all former Western colonies. When the Raj left South Asia, the South Asians began immigrating to England within one year. That is the pattern everywhere, and that pattern exists for a reason. The reason is what everyone denies, including the inheritors of western civilization. That is an extraordinary turn of human nature – to deny greatness in our history – and it’s not due to an overdeveloped sense of humility, as humans aren’t naturally humble, but to a learned behavior due to a bastardized history thrust upon us, which renders us ungrateful and incapable of defending ourselves.

    When I wanted to understand what really happened after World War I and before/during World War II, I stepped away from the historians and I went to the source – I listened to the Jewish Shoah “survivors.” I listened to many stories, and they revealed the truth of their lives before the war, which was nothing at all as described in the mainstream accounts of terrible antisemitism/deprivations, and certainly the truth of what really happened in those camps was revealed; again, like nothing as described in the official narrative. So, listen to what these idiot blacks like Malema, Coates, Kendi, et al, say – I’ve never heard such stupidity from an “elite” group; is that really the best they got? Yes, it is, exceptions like Elder, Tatum, Walter Williams, notwithstanding. Look at what they do wherever they congregate en masse and/or rule. Patterns, Sasquatch, patterns; all mammals are capable of recognizing patterns of behavior/threats/danger by simple observation.

    The LaRazaPeople, the GeorgeFloydPeople, the MuhammadPeople, the CorvinusLaPerePeople, the MolochPeople, and even East Asian people, whom I admire, clamor to live amongst the BlueEyedDevilPeople; some of the aforementioned groups do well amongst us, and some beg for our scraps and resent us for it. What else can I say? As Brandon Tatum asks – Where’s the lie?

    (I’ll let Repulsky inform you on the identity/nature of the CorvinusLaPerePeople; he should know it well from my extensive commentary)

    > They falsely accused the German people of a principle they themselves embrace and staunchly adhere to… the principle of the “master race.”

    There is no false accusation in that. The term “Herrenvolk” goes back to the 19th century and is also sprinkled throughout Hitler’s speeches, as can be found by reading the collection produced in 4 volumes by Max Domarus. “Herrenvolk” is what is commonly translated as “master race,” a perfectly valid translation. Domarus generally uses the term “Herrenvolk” directly so that one doesn’t have to debate the exactness of the translation with him. But that’s a good translation, nonetheless.

    Moreover, the intended meaning of the phrase is better illustrated by other more general comments which Hitler makes:

    —–
    It must absolutely be taken into account that there must be no “Polish masters;” where such masters do exist, they should, as harsh as it may sound, be killed… Once more the Fuehrer underlined that there must be but one master for the Poles, and that is the German: two masters could not and must not exist next to each other, hence all representatives of the Polish intelligentsia are to be killed. This may sound harsh, but it is the law of life.
    —–
    — Conference of October 2, 1940, Memo reproduced in Max Domarus, Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, Volume 3, p. 2100.

    Statements like this show that “master race” is a good working translation of “Herrenvolk” as it appears throughout the speeches and memos.

    Yeah, but these aren’t just posts. They’re clips from big media shows like ‘Morning Joe,’ and pronouncements by ‘our’ senators and congresscreatures.

    Moreover, it’s prompt, massive, shamelessly mendacious, and in response to what really have been peaceful protests. That’s a real animal, the abuse of the term during the Black Bullshit Matters episode notwithstanding. Protest is legitimate; we should rally together to denounce evil.

    But the response has been an orchestrated attempt to marginalize and suppress dissent. Isn’t the FBI d0ing something?

    First, genetic ‘findings’ are often incredible — literally incredible. That is to say, they can contradict clear historical and archeological evidence — even imply the logically impossible. This isn’t a reason to dismiss the findings; it is a reason to wonder if they are the product of a developed and reliable science.

    Sorry about late reply, been a busy (crazy) week.
    I totally agree. However, genetic studies in Africa have been few and very limited in scope so far. And this one I think is by far the most comprehensive we have, published last year, with many names from around the world attached to it. Considering the language they use, is why I find the information I cited “incredible”. One way to look at it would be to say the “missing link” may be hiding in the current African genome. To me that’s close to what they are saying in my layman’s view. I have no background or education in biology or any of this stuff. But I notice the language they are using and find it surprisingly strong.

    Second, somewhere you imply the evidence calls into question the ‘out of Africa’ hypothesis.

    I don’t think I did, and I don’t have strong opinions about that theory either way – yet. Come to think of it, perhaps related: this study has some interesting graphics. The problem is to understand what it all means. One plot they show indicates several groups of human hunter gatherers in Africa were only ~ 10.000 individuals each over a very long time period.

    East African Khoesan (Hadza), RHG (Baka), and Bantu-speaking (Tikari)
    populations, related to Figure 4.

    If this is correct, I wonder – what was the total population of Africa 50.000 years ago? Are we looking at perhaps few hundred thousand people in Africa? Each group separated for perhaps tens of thousands of years? In an area that’s bigger than Canada, USA and China combined?

    If anything – this makes the Out of Africa theory look more plausible to me. In this enormous continent – perhaps dozen groups of hunter-gatherers even if 10.000 each are like a needle in a haystack. According to the study (or their computer models) they were indeed isolated. Forests, vast planes, rivers and plenty of dangerous wildlife separating them. It seems to fit, or perhaps make sense? And it follows – these groups evolved differently and could have been quite different.

    Looking at this a theory jumps out: “We” perhaps didn’t leave Africa willingly. According to some scientists, in the past the Sahara desert has went back and forth from being ‘green’ to what we see today – a barren wasteland. Imagine a group of hunter-gatherers in Sahara during perhaps greener times finding themselves on the north side when climate shifted and Sahara dried up and became more hostile to human life. For them there was no way to cross it going south. So they were isolated from the rest of Africa and the only path (assuming they wanted or had to go somewhere) was either to follow the long coastline south – or simply go into the Arabian peninsula, moving into the middle east. It seems they did. If so that’s no doubt only small part of this very complex story.

    Here the point is: Being north of the Sahara made them likely separated (genetically) from the rest of Africa by (tens of) thousands of years. And they “escaped” later mixing of genes with the alleged “archaic” humanoids that were still roaming the southern part of Africa until fairly recently.

  1173. For those of us who focus on ‘how the world actually works,’ there is an enjoyable irony here.

    ‘Police keep a low profile at Gaza protest on UCLA campus’

    Having — post-Derek Chauvin — relentlessly demoralized the police to the point that they won’t do anything, the Jews now want them to club anti-Israel protestors.

    Not gonna happen. Like trying to get your dog to bite the mailman after you’ve trained him to not even bark.
