    “but I never try to convert Jews. You need to Return to the God of your Fathers 😀 Waddya call that? First that, then your meshuggah.

    “and stop joking about trying to remove your Jewishness.”

    Why, it’s not like I have a choice. 😀

    Unlike you.
    “of MY fathers?” I gather you’re not Jewish much less a 2nd Gen Shoah survivor.

    Calling you insensitive would be too generous.

    For thousands of years, humor has been our only escape, weapon and solace and you would strip it from us, eh?

    Later for you.

  4. Thanks Ted on the comment box. I thought it was gone for a minute.:)
    Now is there a way to find one’s own post that have been driven into the black hole by Mr. Zorn. If I miss a 12 hour period, my post can’t be found. Help!!!

  5. SEBASTIEN-

    Your “no comment” is pretty good, but you must have noticed that Ted’s sense of humour” , to paraphrase Mark Twain, is not spacious.

    (Twain in his “Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offenses”) This is a HOWL. I’m surprised you’ve never read it. I mentioned it here several years ago. A genuine gem. Read it and tell me what you think of it…

  6. SEBASTIEN-

    It’s typical of a maladjusted machine. My comment IS printed as you can see (below) and above it is the “moderation”.

    I had an idea that they were activated by particular words. The last time I was moderated was about 15 years ago and, offended by my conception of censorship, not really knowing what it was, I immediately cancelled from the site. I reminded Ted of this when I returned some years later. He didn’t recall it, and II couldn’t think of what my user name was then.. I haven’t been moderated since, but with my successive posts to you being printed and then vanishing, I was beginning to wonder.

    So, since my post is printed below the moderation thing, I was wondering what it was all about.

  8. @Edgar

    “What’s all this about “moderation”’

    I already told you that it’s governed by an algorithm. There’s nobody upstairs. Just post it again. Or wait for Ted to see and retrieve it, if it’s there somewhere.

    “Moderation” has nothing to do with content. It means it’s been sequestered by the moderator who is a mindless machine that operates and governs according to its own inscrutable rules like every Supreme Court ever known, certainly America and Israel. But that’s democracy. Or fascism. Take your pick.

  10. SEBASTIEN-

    Sorry if I shocked you. Your 8-9 irrelevant posts likely are a result. Cease babbling and listen to wisdom. That Orthodox priest was undoubtedly correct. Zeke HAD to have been on something up to his eyeballs.(did I pun here).

    Regardless of the symbolic drop of blood, the end result is the same.(another pun?-both unintended)

    I hope you spotted the typo in my post to NOSTRADUMBUS,; the first “B” was meant to be a “D”. You know I would not gratuitously insult or offend anyone.

    As for youtube, I regret that that I have no recommendations, and would remark that the picture/sound seems to have deteriorated, in lock-step with the amount of sheer rubbish they show, I used to delete what I didn’t like and one time reached as high as 45 discarded videos on a single page. My suggestions are better, believe me…!!

    It’s nice to see you taking a (late) interest in our Torah,

    The term “moyel” is the Yiddish transliteration of the Hebrew. Likely Paylisher. Since you are in America, the prime location where the English language is murdered every minute of every day ((Is this a Freudian reference to Ra’s daily journey, death and resurrection) I’m surprised that it hasn’t degraded into “just call me Mo”.

    ****The first mention I ever saw about the Amanita Muscaria was in John Allegro’s “The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross”. A really brilliant man. But this book ruined his sterling reputation, unfairly I believe.****

  11. As the saying goes, two things can be true at the same time. Just as 9/11 was perpetrated by Muslims whose ultra-violent, hateful goals needed no assistance from one or more 3 letter agencies to help facilitate if not expedite their fulfillment – admittedly conjecture, but after Jan 6 believe it more than a little plausible – the bloody centuries old Russian/Ukrainian conflict may well have resumed sooner or later without US involvement, but as we can all plainly see most certainly has considerably sooner because of it.
    Moreover I’d say the Arab/Israeli conflict, which needed no more than centuries of shariah supremacism to fuel it, has arguably been stoked more by the US than the Russians since the dissolution of the Soviet Union – not that the Russians have exactly been benign, far from it – particularly during the Obiden terms, (read: Obama’s three terms).
    I’ve never been a “blame America first” type – I’m an America Firster – but after the past seven years in particular I’m afraid America is no longer the country I thought it was, that it’s lost it’s way seemingly due to a combination of elite capture by the CCP/WEF/Globalists, rampant institutional corruption, and civilizational decline, and consequently is much more a force for American malfeasance than exceptionalism. Unless Trump or possibly De Santis and others can help America find its way back to what it once stood for the whole country and the West generally may be lost forever.

  13. I made a much needed change to the location of the Comment Box.
    From now on it will remain at the bottom of the article rather than at the bottom of the comments.
    Thus no more scrolling down to the bottom to find it.

  15. SNIFF! SNIFF! Something smells funny.

    An alleged serial pooper reportedly dropped a fat, smelly turd in the aisle near where former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was sitting alongside her daughter at the Shubert Theater in New York as they were watching a performance of Some Like it Hot.

    😮

  19. It would be hard to make this up. “Hess began reading American anarchists largely because of the recommendations of his friend Murray Rothbard. Hess said that upon reading the works of Emma Goldman he discovered that anarchists believed everything he had hoped the Republican Party would represent, and that Goldman was the source for the best and most essential theories of Ayn Rand without any of the “crazy solipsism that Rand was so fond of.”[6]

    ibid 😀

    (FYI Emma Goldman was an Anarchist Communist, a follower of (Prince) Peter Kropotkin 😀 ) Did you know, both Bakunin and Kropotkin were Russian princes who urged their serfs to rebel and then went into exile? Bakunin was a mutualist like Proudhon. Don’t know about the other two gut Proudhon was an antisemite.

  20. “Karl Hess (born Carl Hess III; May 25, 1923 – April 22, 1994) was an American speechwriter and author. He was also a political philosopher, editor, welder, motorcycle racer, tax resister, and libertarian activist. His career included stints on the Republican right and the New Left before embracing a mix of left-libertarianism and laissez-faire anarcho-capitalism.[1] Later in life, he summed up his role in the economy by remarking “I am by occupation a free marketer (crafts and ideas, woodworking, welding, and writing).”[

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

    I thought it was Nixon. It was Goldwater.

    What a character. “Only in America.”
    😀

  21. I remember dating a girl back in the day who exclaimed in frustration after I explained my vision of the ideal society, “But I don’t want to go to meetings all day!”

    😀

    Apparently, in Catalonia Spain, during the Anarchist Revolution/Spanish Civil War (depending on who you read or talk to) , communities that wanted to paint a barn would take forever to decide on the color and type of paint because they had to reach a consensus.

    😀

    Libertarianism is very close to right wing Anarchism. I once read an autobiography of one of Nixon’s speech writers who trod that line.

  22. I just remembered: Majority rule is Democracy. Consensus is Anarchism! 😀

    {any sort of left wing Anarchisn, Communism, mutualism, syndicalism. Right wing Anarchism is all about the individual, capitalism with no state. Ayn Rand. . Or the artist in the woods who just wants to be left alone.)

  23. @Michael Look at Steve Bannon in this picture. In 2017 he was the age i am now. He dresses, wears his hair, everything, the way my generation of leftists in the 70s did. 😀 And then he went to work in a bank. I wonder if he was a leftist back then. The jacket is a faux vietnam era army jacket which we all war :D.

    It’s a good interview but the only news is that various platforms are letting him back on because of his understandably rising popularity in light of the financial crisis. He fixed the bad economy Obama left. He has a very good record. His rivals have none, really.

    Seems to me that as with Netanyahu, the things Trump is being accused of aren’t even crimes in the first place.

    More importantly, Couldn’t find any relevant diet information on Trump, Bannon or Epshtein. Have fun with your pot luck. I thing it’s called cannabis luck, now.

  26. HI, Sebastien

    1986 was a tough year for me, and 1996, and 2006 and 2016, etc. That’s life. Then you die, and things start getting serious.

    Let’s not panic. Biden wrecked it. Trump will fix it if he’s given the chance.

    You’re right — no sense panicking. (Where did that come from? Should I be considering panicking? I might have missed something). Yes, Biden wrecked it, with lots of help . I pland to vote for Trump, if I get a chance to We should be so blessed, to actually have elections! God knows.

    Shalom shalom! 🙂

  27. @Michael But UBS, which ruled out a merger with Credit Swisse is going strong. I worked there as a temp word processor – remember the days before the crash of ’86 when executives weren’t expected to know how to type? 😀 – for several months, so that must have brought them luck. Well, that explains that.

    Took year long Paralegal course after that – 9-5 every Saturday for a year with a half hour for lunch, because that was the next, hottest field. Which crashed right after I graduated. 😀

    Downside of capitalusm.

    Let’s not panic. Biden wrecked it. Trump will fix it if he’s given the chance.

  28. “Why a hundred? – If it were wrong, one would have been enough.” – Einstein

    “100 Authors against Einstein: A Look in the Rearview Mirror'”

    “In 1931, a booklet was published titled Hundert Autoren gegen Einstein (Hundred Authors against Einstein, Israel et al. 1931) featuring many of those ill-informed contributions.

    ‘…Criticism Gone Wrong
    In total, 121 authors are identified as opponents to the special relativity theory. Hundred Authors against Einstein contains contributions from twenty-eight authors that greatly vary in length and are the main focus of this article. A further ninety-three authors are listed as also having rejected the special relativity theory—with some also having publications. The geographical distribution of the authors’ affiliations shows that eighteen contributions originated from Germany and two from Austria. There were eight contributions from other countries—Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Almost all contributions were written in German except two, which were written in English and French, respectively, and those have subsequently been translated. The contributions vastly differ in length, ranging from just one paragraph to several pages…”

    Credit Suisse shares tank after Saudi backer rules out further assistance
    Published Wed, Mar 15 20236:29 AM EDTUpdated 5 Min Ago

    I think this is important

  31. Galut arrested Jewish minors after even the leftwing court let them go for lack of evidence, held them incommunicado and starved them. Legislation needs to be enacted. Galut needs to be dismissed, arrested and brought up on charges. The security pretext, like declaring national emergencies are all the excuses despots need.

    1

  32. Sebastien. The Little Ol’Cowgirl thought the “return” of the Sinai was a mistake at the time it occurred. Like given Texas back to Mexico
    Why do Jews always capitulate to pressure? The need to be accepted by the Goyim? I remember Yamit 82 talking about the “Battle of the Chinese Farm”. The Sinai was won at such a great coast why return it.

    2

  36. @Honeybee Actually, there were 14 settlements across the Sinai of which Yamit was the largest with 600 homes, the one they left for last, and the one that chose to resist, according to tge article we both just read. You were a teacher? How’s your reading comprehension been, lately?

    Israel also gave up oil deposits, strategic depth as well as tourist resorts and other enterprises.

    The Sinai would become a major terrorist hub against Israel, against Jews, like the Golan Heights was before Israel annexed it.

  37. @Honeybee Oh, just them? Well, then, hypothetically, if both you and I were to make Aliya someday, and I somehow wind up in office and I only betray you, we’re ok, right? It’s all copacetic?

    Aside from the slippery slope leading to today, Kahane – who would later fly from the U.S. to persuade the Jews of Yamit not to blow themselves up – accurately predicted in this 1976 article.

    https://barbaraginsberg-kahane.blogspot.com/2012/12/israel-us-and-stinking-fish-1976.html

  40. “US professors speak at terrorist’s conference”

    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/368571

    If professors with tenure can be fired for refusing to address students as members of the sex they are not, but university presidents can’t or won’t even say anything when professors attend conferences run by eliminationist antisemites, there needs to be a Taylor Force Act tailored to academia. President Trump promised to do that in his second term and I hope and pray he gets the chance to keep that promise.

  43. This is why, as a secular Jew, i.e. a Jew by no choice, I am generally suspicious of converts:

    “Jewish former NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire trafficked in antisemitic conspiracy theories — and now says he didn’t mean it

    Stoudemire referred to Jews of European descent as converts and embraced Christ in an interview on Clubhouse”

    If you are interested, let me know what emoticon(s) it is you are trying to use, I can probably give you a code so that they will work. I have a niece who is quite a gifted child with such things and I have developed a few skills in this regard due to her efforts.

  46. More on Charles III:

    The King’s coronation guest list: a who’s who of every foreign royal who might attend
    From Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and the King and Queen of Spain to Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, King Charles III’s coronation guest list could be glittering with foreign royals

    By Tatler 27 February 2023
    https://www.tatler.com/king-charles-coronation-foreign-royals-complete-list

    There is much more here than glitter. By inviting foreign monarchs to his coronation, Charles is breaking a 900 year tradition. At this ceremony, moreover, Charles will be anointed with oil from the Mount of Olives, prepared by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem and applied by the Archbishop of Cantebury, bridging Jewish, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. The Muslim monarchs of Saudi Arabia, Morocco, etc., may also be in attendance, making this probably the most ecumenical coronation in British history!

    I’m waiting to see if the Pope will be invited, but not holding my breath.

    Are we about to witness the coronation of the new King of the World? Interesting…

  50. Hi, Tanna. You said,

    Michael, I realized my mistake. if you think this subject should be where you posted it. I’m willing to move my post over there. What you think?

    I don’t think it matters, Tanna. The matter’s buried as effectively as a conservative’s social media account. I’m glad you read Wurmbrand’s story. He was a great man on earth, and even greater in heaven.

    These are wicked times. Christians are routinely beheaded, SWATted and banned. Jews, meanwhile are having their own problems. For one thing, the 70-7ear “Jewish Summer” has vanished:

    https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-vanishing,

    as Jewish professional candidates run gauntlets of discrimination. One example:

    “Another Jewish professor applies to work in the UC system. In his mandatory diversity statement, which he describes as “the most shameful piece of writing I’ve ever done,” his sole aim is to convey the impression that he hopes to be the last Jewish man they ever hire. He still doesn’t get the job.”

    Lara Logan says a mouthful:

    https://elijahstreams.com/watch/watch.php?ID=1294

    She says the days are coming, soon, when people will look longingly back to the days when all they had to do to buck the system was to give up everything they had; for their very minds will be controlled and continually monitored by implanted chips. I hope you understand that this is not science fiction: The technology is already here:
