Thanks Mark.

Who said diversity plus proximity equals war?

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

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.

Of interest in the problem of Jews championing Dei to repair the world,

'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.

"You're spicy white," she said.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, actually burnt.

Any moral high ground they had is gone.

What happens next is what makes me unsettled

Bravo, Mark, for speaking on such a 'hot potato' issue such as this, and in a balanced manner.

I'm sensing a serious 'Hatfields vs. McCoys' schism in our national fabric--as if we didn't have enough already.

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.

"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.

Good Sachs. Gets really good toward the end:

What is Hebrew for "first repair yourself"? Seriously, that's the Christian motto -- first, repair yourself in relation to God because you love him above all, then love your neigbor as yourself.
