How’s that war on Russia going, Neocons? The collective West is ever more urgently seeking an exit strategy from Ukraine. The concern among the ruling classes is to somehow sell to their publics that this war hasn’t turned—predictably—into a massive geopolitical debacle and defeat. ‘It’s a stalemate, not a defeat!’ is the cry that we’re hearing—from Time, NBC, The Economist, FT, etc. You can read about the hand wringing here:
And our sage social-engineering ubermenschen class would do better to take the logs out of their own eyes first. First, sage class, GET YOUR OWN EFFING HOUSE IN ORDER. (As one author put it, “S2!” - Sit the f down and Shut the f up).
'repair the world' fails at the point you ask "what needs fixing?", as there is never one answer & not any one source for an answer (whence tyranny).
"... always been a need to repair our broken human lives": big difference here; you can (should) ask and you can get an answer, in fact a whole conversation
I agree - racial prejudice is commonplace across practically any society we care to look at (despite the best efforts of DEI warriors everywhere.. ;-) Beyond simple tolerance at a personal level, I don't think there is, has been, or will ever been a solution to it. And note - I specifically do not accuse Jewish people in general of fostering hateful attitudes.
But that is qualitatively different from sects which explicitly teach extreme hateful practices. Neo-nazi supremacists rightfully get a lot of flak. The same with extreme Wahhabist Muslims. Talmudic Judaism should receive the same scrutiny and condemnation that other hateful extreme religions face.
I've always believed in the biblical injunction to "first remove the beam from thine own eye", and in this regard it's important that influential Jewish pundits confront the element of their society which fosters views not unlike the Nazis, who believed their supposed racial superiority justified their actions.
I'm happy to speak directly of the worst in my society, both in history and the present. It's a critical part of practical humility to attempt to look the truth squarely in the eye and call things as they are. I believe a large part (perhaps the majority) of the manufactured and curated mainstream opinion exists precisely to avoid this kind of truth.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken went to Amman to meet with some of the key Arab leaders and enlist their support for a U.S. plan to create a mythical Palestinian state. Why do I say mythical? I do not believe that the Biden Administration is serious about its proposal. No one trusts Biden or his inept national security team. Netanyahu told Tony to go pound sand. This snub was followed by Blinken getting the good old Arab stiff arm in Jordan. Unlike Netanyahu, who refused to appear with Blinken following their meeting, the Arabs thoroughly enjoyed raking Blinken over the coals in front of the world press. There is not enough Viagra in the world to make Blinken look potent or formidable.

'Brooklyn' and others would barely let Weinstein get a word in edgewise, deliberately misinterpreting the few utterances he was able to make. His declaration that he was 100 percent anti-racist, for example, was deliberately flipped to 100 percent anti-black, and his inability to answer multiple questions at once made his inquisitors impatient.
"Give us the answers now and quickly or you're gonna get off the stage," the woman snarled, later urging her companions to "stop letting this man wiggle out of answering the questions." He was also accused of being an investor in the Clubhouse platform, which currently operates on an invite-only basis in a series of Zoom-like 'rooms' but with audio only.
He attempted to explain that his aims in studying evolutionary biology were to "recognize [racism and genocide] emerge out of evolution... what we can do about it" and denying the discipline was a "means to spread scientific transphobia" - only to have his words turned against him in a rather bizarre fashion.
"You're a scientist and you use anecdotal experience to justify your view on pronouns," another man on the chat said accusingly. "Just because someone has only ever eaten hotdogs doesn't mean hamburgers don't exist, and if hamburgers can see your statements, then why are you making them?"
Weinstein did make an attempt to dodge the allegations of "whiteness" that dominated the proceedings - clearly sensing that being of a Caucasian disposition in such a climate was borderline criminal. He protested that he was Jewish, claiming it's "a different thing" and reminding that the Jews have too been persecuted - only for one of his interlocutors to correct him.
Whenever I hear of a progressive project to “fix society” all I can think of is the maxim I learned as a kid: the ends do not justify the means. It is so easy to pat ourselves on the back for our great intentions to fix what is wrong in the world all the while ignoring the damage done to innocents and society in general, not to mention our own immortal souls. Every genocide in the history of the world was justified by a perceived good end.
Fascinating piece by Kunstler, describing well how Progressive projects, originally intended as “repairs” (tikkum olam) have careened towards destructive ends - in the law, education, courts, dei, etc. His views reminded me of an earlier post reflecting on the subject of Jews in the Dem party in which you refer to a scholar, Mr. Roote (?!!), who I think likened these progressive or Democratic policies effectively to a religion. As we can see, no amount of social, racial, political repair can stand in for a “common consensus” not only of reality, but of our individual souls, broken, and in need of wholeness. Great post.
I'm a big fan of kunstler, but the column was amazingly Off.
Yes as Denninger points out there's the arrogance of "fixing society", but worse in my view, kunstler ignore the significant section of religious Jews ( ie Talmudic + Hassidic) who believe they're literally god's chosen people, that their lives are worth more than gentiles. That's beyond arrogance and we'll into cluster-b Psychopathy traits (and yes, they strongly promote Machiavellian behaviour also).
Same as I don't have a problem with Islam in general, but I despise wahhabism I'm not anti Semitic but I despise that particular group for their beliefs and practices.
It looks more like a political strategy than a coincidence that the worst behaved of that group are protected by more moderate members rather than explicitly condemned. Maybe blood is indeed thicker than water

These are important matters and tend to raise emotional termpers, but I'm going to counsel you to express your views more thoughtfully. The repeated use of emotive terms like "despise" doesn't advance any discussion and tends not to change hearts and minds--the only reason I can think of for posting comments here. The fact that you feel the need to state that you are not anti-Semitic suggests that you could have expressed yourself in a more considered way. All readers who want to learn how I choose to address matters of "religion" are referred to the first ten years or so of my posting.
Point taken Mark, though rather than resile from stating what I despise, I'd clarify it's directed at the ideology, not the individuals practicing it.
Talmudic Judaism is remarkably similar to Nazism in it's belief in a god-ordained privileged race, but I doubt many tempers would be aroused by my stating I find the Nazist ideology despicable.
Though they and you - as authors - observe excellent neutral language, the moral implications of the teachings merit more than an academic response.. they are repugnant to any humanist. Understanding the reality of the underlying mindset informs the behavioural motivations and from there, the behaviours.
I've come to see the situation - and this is meant as an accurate metaphor, not an emotive statement - that the Jewish body politic has a cancerous limb. Unless they themselves diagnose and treat it, the disease will eventually consume the entire body. If they diagnose it promptly, and treat it properly, the body can once again flourish as a healthy vessel.
At some point even the proles are going to see that ‘multiculturalism for you but ethnic nationalism for me’ doesn’t seem right….exempting the Christian Zionists.
The anti semitic card was heavily played against anyone that disagreed with the Democratic agenda, such as Trump. The entire Dei racism was ignored, since it was the right type of racism. Basically against all those “White Supremacists”, which is all whites, due to implicit bias. The only kinda exception is those Whites that become for Kapos for Dei.
Now the Liberal Jews that supported Dei in the U.S. are shocked that Dei supporters have been outspoken pro Palestinian, and even anti Jewish.
I'm willing to entertain the idea that majority Jewish opinion is anti-Russian, and that this opinion has influenced our foreign policy, but I honestly believe the anti-Russia narrative in the US is long-standing and deeply embedded in our foreign policy and world view and precedes and is independent of the rise of Jewish-influenced power in the US and in US government.
The more I learn about the Dulles brothers, and the foundation of the CIA and its modus operandi following WWII, and then JFK's unappreciated efforts to defuse the Cold War in the 1960s and his subsequent assassination, followed decades later by the United States' ceaseless expansionism in Eastern Europe and subversion of Russia following the fall of the Soviet Union, the more convinced I am that the pursuit of global hegemony by use of military power, financial coercion and covert operations, which is implicitly anti-Russian is simply the default American way.
For those interested in the story of the Dulles brothers and the establishment of the CIA, and the case for Allen Dulles' involvement in the Kennedy assassination, and its legacy impacts continuing through the years down to and including today, I can recommend two video interviews conducted in just the past few days.
One is Glenn Greenwald's interview of David Talbot, the author of the Devil's Chessboard, and the second is Chris Hedges' interview of Jeffrey Sachs, who, of course, we all know. Here are the links:
"the anti-Russia narrative in the US is long-standing and deeply embedded in our foreign policy and world view"
No question about that, and it has been played on by the Neocon/Globalist class since 2015--the Russia Hoax was also based on that. However, another reveal of the Trump phenomenon is that it revealed that the Russia card is no longer automatic with the majority of Americans. This is why I say it took some real political muscle to get us into this war. Public opinion wouldn't have done it and, IMO, I don't think the established Deep State could have pulled it off on their own. There had to be a hold over politicians.
Yeah, I meant to mention that: how the Ukraine War was sold to the American public. It seems to me that we had been quietly provoking it for quite some time. Like maybe 25 years...Of course, we (USG) never announced that we were provoking it. Then Putin finally had enough and went in. Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and friends (and their media sycophants) then announced to us that the madman, psychopathic reincarnation of Adolph Hitler, Vladimir Putin, was invading poor, defenseless Ukraine in order to rebuild the Soviet Union and of course we had to rush to their rescue. Blue and yellow Ukraine flags started popping up all over the place (replacing everyone's BLM and LGBTQ+ flags) and we were off to the races. Was it more complicated than that? Was there any political pushback from the Uniparty?
Currently listening to Judge Nap and Jeffrey Sachs. Sachs is saying "the world is aghast" at what's going on and that even the US may not be able to continue its support for Netanyahu. Even conservative sites are admitting that "tens of thousands" turned out in DC and many other cities. It seems difficult to believe that viewpoint suppression can hold out.
Thanks Mark.

I just read a comment over on Zero Hedge where he said "the Jews are burning their Holocaust Card."
Wow, I found that to be really insightful.
That, and Millenials are not impressed. It doesn't have anything to do with them.
The Holocaust Card has been over used.
Well, actually burnt.
Any moral high ground they had is gone.
What happens next is what makes me unsettled
