When Altruism Goes Bad

The world's leading proponent of effective altruism is Sam Bankman-Fried. A month ago he was worth $10 billion. Now he is broke.

Where did it go? He was the second largest contributor to the Joe Biden 2020 campaign, after George Soros. And he apparently made a lot of risky crypto-currency bets with customer money.

Before the collapse of FTX, he had spent around $40 million during the midterms to boost a range of candidates, most of whom were Democrats. His contributions made him one of the top donors of the election cycle, according to OpenSecrets, which tracks campaign finance data.

He gave a large portion of his donations to Protect Our Future PAC, which describes itself as a “an organization designed to help elect candidates who will be champions for pandemic prevention.” The PAC did not respond to a request for comment from JI on Thursday.

Many of the candidates Bankman-Fried supported were also backed by pro-Israel groups such as Democratic Majority for Israel and United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with AIPAC. He gave $250,000 directly to DMFI PAC last May.

But it is unclear if his backing of pro-Israel candidates was coincidental or motivated by any personal interest in Middle East policy. Bankman-Fried, who is Jewish, does not appear to have spoken publicly about Israel or the Middle East.

This isn't altruism; this is buying political influence.

Here is a review of a book on Pathological Altruism.

“Animal hoarders” are another example of PA. They fill their houses with “rescued” pets but fail to look after them. They declare their love for animals even as they step over the bodies of dogs and cats that have died of malnutrition. They often neglect their own health, living in tumble-down houses filled with animal filth. These people usually started out with a strong childhood attachment to animals but were neglected or abused by their own parents. They often start hoarding after they suffer some kind of personal setback, such as a divorce or losing a job.

Most people think altruism is a noble thing, but it can be psychopathy in disguise, or just a personality disorder.

Another theory about the origins of PA is that it can be seen as the result of an excessively female brain. Women are more likely than men to be co-dependents and have eating disorders. Girls are more compliant than boys, better behaved, and more eager to please. They are better able to figure out the needs of others. They are politically more “liberal,” and more likely to think that an important function of government is taking care of people. Low levels of testosterone in the womb during fetal development is associated with higher levels of empathy in both sexes.

Update: It now appears that FTX was taking aid to Ukraine, laundering it, and sending it to Democrat political candidates. This is unconfirmed, but it is possible, as we have no good accounting of either Ukraine aid or FTX assets.

Update: See the FTX Super Bowl commercial with Larry David.

How Celebrities can be Controlled

Page Six.com reports:

Beloved celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak appeared to threaten to “institutionalize” Kanye West so that the rapper would be medicated into “Zombieland forever.”

Following his anti-Semitic rants, West shared texts purportedly sent by Pasternak, who is Jewish, that began by offering to have a “loving, open conversation” with him based on “fact.” Pasternak also asked his former friend and client to refrain from “cuss words” or “crazy stuff.”

“Second option, I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever. Play date with the kids just won’t be the same,” the message continued.

West, 45, tweeted the screenshot Thursday and wrote that he was “mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity.”

If they cannot control him, they can cheat him in the name of the Jews.

The NY Post reports:

Adidas plans to relaunch Kanye West’s shoe designs after cutting ties with the disgraced rapper — and said it will ditch the Yeezy name in the process.

The German sportswear giant said Wednesday that it intends to strip the shoes of their “Ye” branding but keep the same designs. The move could save Adidas over $300 million in royalty payments.

I don't know what is going on with Kanye West. He appears to have some peculiar views, but he is entitled to his opinions. His views are no weirder than thinking that sex can be changed.

Somehow the Jews have decided that he is a threat, and they are out to destroy him. Ditto for Donald Trump, Kyrie Irving, and a few others. If they succeed, it will tell us something about how the world works.

Update: Even Dave Chappelle on Saturday Night Live TV show says he can never say "the Jews".

"Early in my career, I learned there are two words you should never say together," Chappelle noted during his opening monologue. "Those words are...'the' and 'Jews.' Never heard someone do good after they said that."

A Black journalist was fired for tweeting:

Look up the religious affiliation of everyone involved in the FTX collapse

Kanye was right

Married Women Vote Republican

Yahoo reports:

Fox News host Jesse Watters recently said Democratic policies are designed to keep women from getting married. Now, single women have fired back.

During Wednesday night’s broadcast, the Fox News host broke down a midterm elections exit poll that showed 68 per cent of unmarried women voted Democrat, while 56 per cent of married women voted for Republicans.

“This makes sense when you think about how democratic policies are designed to keep women single,” he said during the segment. “But once women get married, they vote Republican. Married women, married men go for Republicans by double digits but single women and voters under 40 have been captured by Democrats.”

Then, Watters came up with a solution to the single women epidemic: “We need these ladies to get married. It’s time to fall in love and just settle down. Guys, go put a ring on it.” ...

Back in April, Watters revealed that he once let the air out of his now-wife’s tires so that she would accept his offer of a ride home. Watters married Emma DiGiovine, who worked as a producer on his show at the time, in December 2019 after finalising his divorce from ex-wife Noelle Inguagiato that same year.

The data are backed up by the latest CNN exit polls. But I am not sure that women will turn Republican by getting married. It may be that the Democrat single women have toxic attitudes that block them from finding a husband.

This could partially explain anti-marriage policies by Democrats. They need the votes.

Racism Against White People

Columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. writes:

Sometimes I wish white people could be Black.

Not forever, mind you. Maybe for just a few weeks like John Howard Griffin, the author of “Black Like Me,” who darkened his skin and traveled the South in 1959. Sometimes, I wish white people could have that experience.

Not so they could feel the sickly apprehension that can accompany a simple traffic stop.

Not so they could feel the indignation of being asked to account for yourself just walking down the street.

Not so they could feel what it’s like when your bank loan is denied, your home appraises for less, your doctor doesn’t take your pain seriously, you don’t get the job, your preschooler gets suspended, the shopkeeper follows you around, you can’t hail a taxi or you wind up in handcuffs, because of the melanin in your skin.

No, I wish white people could be Black so they could know how it feels to deal with all of that — and then hear white people complain how hard they have it.

I am White, and I have experienced all those things, and much worse. If Blacks have only experienced those, then they have it easy.

And I have Pitts giving me the indignity of lower-case white, while his race is upper-case Black. Obviously he has a hatred or disrespect for Whites.

The reference is to a recent political ad. You likely haven’t seen it if you’re not in Georgia, ...

“When did racism against white people become OK?” asks the announcer. ...

We lack space to detail those claims, but it won’t surprise you that they’ve been debunked by Factcheck.org, Politifact and The Washington Post. ...

Yes, the spot is obviously a direct descendant of the notoriously racist Willie Horton ad of 1988. But our attention today is on how it tries to neutralize the language of liberal protest by co-opting it, i.e., re-framing “racism” as something suffered by white folks. It’s a rhetorical trick the white right has used for years.

I found the Politifact page, and the America First Legal site. Politifact says that the ad is completely correct, except that:

Our ruling

America First Legal claimed in an ad that Harris said "disaster aid should go to nonwhite citizens first."

The ad takes Harris’ comments out of context. She did not say any particular race would be prioritized in disaster relief efforts.

We rate the claim False.

The ad did not say that any particular race would be prioritized; just nonwhites. Politifact says that the Wash. Post pointed out that White lesbians might also be prioritized, so it is not just nonwhites. I might add that it is mprobably not just citizens either, as illegal aliens would probably be prioritized over White males.

Pitts goes on the complain about George Floyd and others. Floyd was a junkie and pettty criminal who died of a fentanyl while waiting for a police-called ambulance. Horton was a much worse criminal.

You would expect a whining Black columnist to give an example of Blacks suffering an injustice. No, he just makes excuses for Black criminals, and seeks to punish innocent Whites.

Update: Here is a video on the latest interracial crime data. Blacks attack Whites at about 35 times the rate of Whites attacking Blacks. Blacks are oppressing Whites, not the other way around.

Christianity Created the Modern World in Europe

Here is an anti-religion rant:

As a good old-fashioned New Atheist type, I have long been of the view that religion is most certainly not good for humanity. ...

The world did not come into being because an ancient Norse cow named Auðumbla was thirsty. Allah did not create man from clay. Yahweh Elohim did not bring about the universe in six days before retiring for cocktails on the seventh. In short, every single religion simply got it wrong. ...

But let us not forget just how utterly corrosive religion was, when it had real power, to the pursuit of knowledge.

One example will suffice: the Dark Ages. Now, before you start furiously writing in to tell me that scholars do not, any longer, consider the medieval period to have been an age of darkness, I am well aware of the fact. I know that scholars of the Middle Ages take it almost personally when this crude view is expressed. Undoubtedly, it produced great scholars, literature, art, and architecture. But however much we might nuance our understanding of the Middle Ages, there remains one irrefutable kernel of truth in the old view: it took around a thousand years for modern science to emerge in Christian Europe.

Only with the fragmentation of the old order wrought by the Reformation could science and Enlightenment really take off. At the very least, we can say that Christianity didn’t help science in the slightest

No, this is completely backwards. At the start of that millennium, Europe was behind China, India, and Persia in science, and not very Christian. Then Europe turned Christian, and leap-grogged ahead of all of them in science, and is still way ahead today.

He mentions the Reformation, but that was a Christian movement. It used the newly invented printing press to disseminate bibles widely and teach people to read. Yes, this advanced civilization, but it did it by promoting Christianity, not opposing it.

It took Christianity about a millennium to transform Europe, genetically, culturally, spiritually, and philosophically. The so-called Dark Ages invented the nuclear family, universities, market economy, clocks, individual rights, rule of law, republican government, and the scientific method. Non-Christian countries did none of these, except to copy Christendom centuries later.

But make no mistake: religion is an extraordinarily effective engine of evil.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that one could pick almost any conflict at random, historical or contemporary, and quickly see the poisonous influence of religion. Putin’s war on Ukraine, for example, like the missiles with which he slaughtered Syrians, has been blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church. Putin sees himself as the restorer of a pure Russianness, one based on a rejection of secular and liberal modernity and in search of an imperium over which to rule. For him, Russia is the last great hope of Christianity and traditional values, and Moscow is the “Third Rome”.

Again, the opposite of the truth. Ukraine is a Christian country, that is unfortunately led by a Jewish president who is a puppet of American and British neocons seeking a proxy war with Russia.

It is not so much that religion causes war (though it is very capable of that) as that it makes it worse. Take Israel/Palestine: here there is a perfectly fair and reasonable two-state solution. But religious fanaticism on both sides makes this solution impossible.

No, again. Israel has offered a two-state solution many times. It has always been refused.

Islam is evil, and causes conflict. It is set back the progress of civilization in about 50 countries. Christianity does not have the same faults. Christianity has been the major force for good in the world, no matter how you measure it.

Blacks Cannot be Anti-Semitic

I found these images online.

Antiracists commonly claim that Blacks cannot be racist against Whites, because Whites hold more institutional power. So by that same reasoning, Blacks could never be antisemitic against Jews.

\

I notice how the Jewish ADL seems to have enough power to tell Elon Musk what to censor.

This is a stereotype that I think is mostly false. There ought to be good research.

NBA star Irving has been suspended, and must undergo re-education to get back:

Sources: Nets have delivered Kyrie Irving six items he must complete to return to team:

– Apologize/condemn movie
– $500K donation to anti-hate causes
– Sensitivity training
– Antisemitic training
– Meet with ADL, Jewish leaders
– Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding

Only Jews and Communinists would make demands like this.

How Schools are Now Anti-Parent

Life Site News reports:

Guidelines released this September by the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) in Ontario are instructing teachers to conceal each student’s “gender identity” from the pupil’s parents unless given permission from the child to do so.

“Regardless of age or grade, staff must keep a student’s gender identity and gender expression status confidential unless the student gives explicit consent to inform the parent(s)/guardian(s), or there is a specific ‘need to know’ (e.g., to fulfill a specific accommodation request),” states the recently released document titled “Gender Identity and Gender Expression Guideline.”

The new guideline also covers topics called ““decolonizing gender,” “2SLGBTQI+ What does it mean?” and “Names, Pronouns, and Honorifics” among other things.

I do not see any legitimate excuse for a school to withhold information from a parent.

I am surprised that anyone puts up with teachers and other school officials conspiring to change and conceal a gender identity. Those people are like child molesters. Not just criminal, but going beyond basic moral norms in a way that is offensive to almost everyone.

Biden and Ukraine Refuse to Negotiate.

I don't know whom to believe about the Ukraine War, and certainly not Putin, Zelensky, RT, or the Washington Post. But here is a disturbing story that could be true.

RT reports:

The White House is privately asking top Ukrainian officials to show openness to peace talks with Russia, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.

Kiev’s public refusal to negotiate with Moscow unless President Vladimir Putin is removed from power in Russia must be abandoned, people familiar with the discussions told the paper.

However, the encouragement isn’t aimed at pushing Ukraine to engage in actual peace talks with Moscow to put an end to the fighting, which has been underway since late February, the sources pointed out.

The move is more of a “calculated attempt” to make sure Vladimir Zelensky’s government retains the support of foreign nations in which the public have become increasingly concerned about the prospect of the conflict continuing for years, they explained.

“Ukraine fatigue is a real thing for some of our partners,” an unnamed US official told the WaPo. Kremlin outlines why solo talks with Ukraine are ‘impossible’

Last month, Zelensky signed a decree, which officially made it “impossible” for him to hold talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

The move followed the incorporation of the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, into the Russian state as a result of referendums held in those territories.

Russia, which has repeatedly invited Ukrainian authorities to come to the negotiating table in recent months, has blamed Kiev for undermining any potential for a peaceful settlement of the crisis.

“How can we discuss any possible agreements when there’s no willingness to even talk to us from the other side?” Putin said on Monday. “So, we’ll wait. Maybe the necessary conditions will come about.”

In case you think Ukraine is winning the war, the NY Times reports that Kiev may have to evacuate for winter.

Apparently USA support for the war in declining. Zelensky is taking a hard line in order to appease his Western backers. They want perpetual war, but do not want to make it too obvious to the American voters.

All along, the likely outcome has been a negotiated settlement where Russia keeps Crimea and some other land, and Ukraine is neutral.

The voters are expected to punish the Democrats tomorrow, primarily because the Biden administration has ruined the economy with high inflation, high interest rates, recession, supply chain disruptions, wokism, and energy instability. Republicans have not made it an issue, but Biden has also lost two wars, in Afghanistan and Ukraine. Both were not just incompetence; they were massive sellouts of American interests.

Not All Cavemen were African

The caveman has been portrayed as Neanderthals for a long time. There used to be two competing theories for early humans, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man. Neanderthals were from Europe, Cro-Magnon from Africa. Both seemed to have tools, art, culture, and language, and were on the path to evolve towards humans.

Then in the 1980s came the Out Of Africa theory, claiming that an African migration of about 50,000 years ago wiped out all others, and we are all Africans. Neanderthals and others were claimed to be extinct.

This was shot down about 10 years ago, when genetic evidence showed that modern Europeans and Asians were partially descended from Neanderthals.

The Out-Of-Africa anthropologists did not give up. They continued to say that Neanderthals were extinct, and renamed the Cro-Magnons as Early European modern humans. While they concede that Neanderthals mated with African migrants, they insist on describing this as "modern humans" replacing Neanderthals.

This usage has become universal. Nobody says the straight truth, which is that today's Caucasians and Orientals are descended from Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons.

For example, here is Encyclopedia Britannica:

Neanderthal, (Homo neanderthalensis, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis), also spelled Neandertal, member of a group of archaic humans who emerged at least 200,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch (about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) and were replaced or assimilated by early modern human populations (Homo sapiens) between 35,000 and perhaps 24,000 years ago. ...

Until the late 20th century, Neanderthals were regarded as genetically, morphologically, and behaviorally distinct from living humans. However, more recent discoveries about this well-preserved fossil Eurasian population have revealed an overlap between living and archaic humans.

So they admit that research has proved that the Neanderthals were not really distinct from humans, but insist on calling Neanderthals "archaic" and the rival African migrants "modern humans".

Resaerch on multiple fronts has proved that Neanderthals were just as modern as the Cro-Magnons. For example:

Until the early 2000s, it was widely thought that Neanderthals lacked the capacity for complex communication, such as spoken language. Supporting that hypothesis was the fact that the flattened cranial base of Neanderthals — similar to that of modern infants prior to two years old — did not provide sufficient space for the production of vowels, which are used in all spoken languages of modern humans. However, studies beginning in the late 1980s of the hypoglossal canal (one of two small openings in the lower part of the skull) and a hyoid (the bone located between the base of the tongue and the larynx) from the paleoanthropological site at Kebara, Israel, suggested that the Neanderthal vocal tract could have been similar to that found in modern humans. Moreover, genetic studies in the early 2000s involving the Neanderthal FOXP2 gene (a gene thought to allow for the capacity for speech and language) indicated that Neanderthals probably used language in the same way that modern humans have. Such a deduction had also been extrapolated from interpretations of the complex behaviours of Neanderthals — such as the development of an advanced stone tool technology, the burial of the dead, and the care of injured social group members.

People used to say that Cro-Magnons were more advanced than Neanderthal, but I don't think anyone says that anymore.

I am not sure what is behind this. Possibly some don't like some of the research, such as:

Research on Neanderthal genetics and its relation to that of modern humans moved rapidly during the early 21st century, especially following the publication of the complete Neanderthal nuclear genetic sequence in 2010. Comparisons of modern human and ancient Neanderthal DNA suggested that some Neanderthals may have had pale skin and red hair. Genetic evidence taken from sites with the remains of multiple individuals pointed to Neanderthals living in small isolated close-knit extended families. In these family groups, the males were closely related, which suggests that these groups were possibly patrilocal; that is, females settled with the males’ relatives.

I think that they are trying to convince everyone that humans evolved in Africa, for ideological reasons. Saying we are all African is seen as supportive of Leftist goals.

Yes, we are descended from African apes. But if you look at many of the qualities that make us uniquely human, and not apes, some of them appear to have evolved first in European Neanderthals, and then in Neanderthal-Cro-Magnon hybrids.

Black Athletes Must Serve Jewish Political Interests

If you wonder who your masters are, read what happens when a Black athlete posts a link to a disapproved movie.

Newsweek reports:

NBA star Kyrie Irving issued an apology Thursday for posting about an antisemitic movie after his team announced he was suspended for "no less than five games."

However, the watchdog group StopAntisemitism is not satisfied with his statement or with Amazon for continuing to sell the movie.

"StopAntisemitism finds the latest 'apology' from Kyrie Irving to be nothing less than disingenuous," Liora Rez, Executive Director of StopAntisemitism, told Newsweek in a statement.

"To All Jewish families and Communities that are hurt and affected from my post, I am deeply sorry to have caused you pain, and I apologize," Irving's statement read in part. "I initially reacted out of emotion to being unjustly labeled Anti-Semitic, instead of focusing on the healing process of my Jewish Brothers and Sisters that were hurt from the hateful remarks made in the Documentary."

Irving's apology came soon after the Brooklyn Nets announced he was indefinitely suspended. The team's decision followed a Thursday press conference in which the point guard failed to apologize for posting a tweet and an Instagram story last week that shared an Amazon link to a 2018 film titled Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America. The movie has been widely described as containing antisemitic disinformation.

Irving had pledged $500,000 to the Anti-Defamation League, but the organization announced it would not accept his donation after he did not disavow the film.

The movies says that Negroes have Hebrew roots. Why would NBA management care so much about an obscure historical theory that it imposes its worst penalty?

It is bizzarre that anyone would care about a Black man making such trivial comments. Another story:

The Nets issued a statement Thursday night saying Irving “is currently unfit to be associated” with the franchise after Irving held a press conference and refused to apologize.

The team said Irving must complete “a series of objective remedial measures” before he is eligible to be reinstated with the team.

“We were dismayed today, when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs, nor acknowledge specific hateful material in the film. This was not the first time he had the opportunity — but failed — to clarify,” the Nets said in a statement.

The way antisemitism is defined today, nearly everyone has some antisemitic beliefs, including Jews. Lots of movies have hateful material. What is he, a movie critic? Apparently he has to be sent to a commie-style reeducation camp to get a conforming opinion about a movie.

Only Jews would do this.

Kanye West tweeted, "I'm starting to think anti Semitic means ni**er." Only he said the word we Whites are not allowed to say. Someone deleted the tweet. The words are both derogatory ethnic slurs, I guess he is saying.

Here is another Black NBA player being cut loose for bad behavior:

A psychologist who worked for the San Antonio Spurs has sued the team and former player Josh Primo, claiming he exposed himself to her multiple times during private sessions.

Hillary Cauthen worked as a performance psychologist for the team. A lawsuit filed Thursday in Bexar County alleges that the 19-year-old Primo exposed his genitals to her nine times “despite her numerous complaints about Primo’s improper sexual conduct to the organization’s leadership.”

Cauthen spoke publicly about the allegations against Primo for the first time Thursday in an emotional press conference where she wept openly throughout.

“I am many things, but I’m not alone in the fight to do the right thing,” she said. “The right thing is to say: ‘No, this is not OK.’ To hold people accountable. To make systemic change. To protect those that suffer in silence.”

Primo was waived by the Spurs last Friday, just four games into his second NBA season.

Primo, through his attorney, denied any wrongdoing and lashed out at Cauthen’s claims, saying she is “playing to ugly stereotypes and racially charged fears for her own financial benefit,” and calling it an act of betrayal against a client.

“Dr. Cauthen’s allegations are either a complete fabrication, a gross embellishment or utter fantasy,” the attorney, William J. Briggs II, said. “Josh Primo never intentionally exposed himself to her or anyone else and was not even aware that his private parts were visible outside of his workout shorts.”

Criminal charges are coming. She is a team psychologist for an NBA basketball team, and she is shocked by Black behavior?

Here is a story about a Black former NBA star:

Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade are in opposition to their child, known as Zaya, transitioning to a transgender woman at the age of 15.

Wade filed a petition to legally change Zaya's name and gender on the birth certificate, to which Funches-Wade responded with an objection.

Funches-Wade claimed that her former husband and NBA player “is positioned to profit from the minor child’s name and gender change with various companies through contacts and marketing opportunities including but not limited to deals with Disney.” She makes her claim based on a conversation she had with Wade in April 2022, where he allegedly assured her the news of their child's transition had made them money and would continue to do so.

Really? Disney is paying Black athletes to castrate their teenaged sons? Hard to believe, but World War T is getting crazy.

Black Artist Makes Hate Posters

ABC News reports:

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Black artist who goes by the name Hyero has been working hard to get a Bucktown gallery space ready to host her new exhibit this weekend. And the exhibit has garnered much more attention than originally expected since the 23-year-old distributed flyers around Chicago for the show, which is called "White Only," with a drawing of a noose. ...

Some critics have complained the flyers suggest they come from white supremacists or some other hate group. "I believe people should understand what a noose on anything should represent. It represents the blood of my ancestors," said a concerned resident, who did not want to share his name.

Is he descended from criminals? Maybe so. The critics are right. It was posted by a hate group.

Defending the Jewish Narrative

Nathan Cofnas wrote an 2021 paper on The Anti-Jewish Narrative:

I focus on three specific issues:

(a) Are Jews particularly ethnocentric?

(b) Do liberal Jews hypocritically advocate multiculturalism for gentiles/gentile countries but racial purity and separatism for Jews/Israel?

(c) Are Jews responsible for liberalism and mass immigration?

My answers to these questions are (a) the evidence suggests Jews are not particularly ethnocentric, (b) liberal Jews typically advocate similar policies for Jews/Israel and gentiles/gentile countries, and (c) the West was on a liberal trajectory with or without Jews, and Jews were not responsible for mass immigration to the US.

Okay, I am glad to see some contrarian opinion. The whole Jewish religion is based on Jews having s special convenant with God. They are the chosen people. If you want to move to Israel, you might have to get a DNA test to prove your Jewish blood lines.

What are the “very high” intermarriage rates? Jews have the highest intermarriage rate of any religious group in the United States (Riley 2013). Jews who avoid intermarriage — the Orthodox — are mostly right-wing extremists with little interest in national politics. The vast majority of Jews who promote radical ideologies are either Reform or religiously unaffiliated. ... combined with low fertility, will lead the liberal Jewish population to nearly disappear in another generation or two.

That's interesting, but Jews have been a cohesive group for millennia. I am sure there have always been Jews who married out and left.

Advocates of the anti-Jewish narrative, including MacDonald, often claim that immigration to Israel is restricted to Jews. This is false. As I pointed out, since 1970, Israel will give automatic citizenship to anyone with one Jewish grandparent and their non-Jewish spouse and children (Cofnas 2018: 152; Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2013). We don’t know the exact number, but hundreds of thousands of gentiles have been granted Israeli citizenship because of this policy. According to the Times of Israel, “there are already some 400,000 people, mostly from the former Soviet Union, living in Israel who are not considered Jewish by the Chief Rabbinate” (Sokol 2019). Halachic Jews (i.e., those who are Jewish according to Jewish law) make up 65% of Israel’s total population.

This would be like someone getting American citizenship even though he is only one-quarter White and has a non-White spouse. Has that ever happened?

In the last several decades — at least until recently — the whole world has been drifting toward liberalism, and Western countries in particular have been adopting increasingly extreme forms of radical multiculturalism. One challenge for the theory that Jews are responsible for all of this is that the most liberal Western countries are those where Jews are relatively small in number and influence. By some measures, Sweden is the most extreme liberal country in the world. ..., Jews are less than 0.2% of the population of Sweden, and have very little influence—certainly far less influence than in places like the US and the UK. ... According to Vox, Jews are such a small percentage of the population of Germany that “most Germans have never met a Jewish person” 

These are good points. I don't know why Sweden and Germany have so socialist, but they have been for decades. In the USA, Jews vote 80% Democrat, and control most of the Democrat Party fundraising. The movement to prosecute Donald Trump includes non-Jews like Liz Cheney, but it is mostly Jews. Most of the radical leftist movements are Jewish led. So is much of the news and entertainment media.

He has some interesting comments about Jews being overwhelmingly Democrats, and even argues that the Republican Party should appeal to Jews. He rejects the obvious explanations for Jews voting Democrat, but fails to provide a better one.  

Combing through history books and newspapers to pick out examples of Jewish radicals while ignoring gentile radicals, and spinning unsupported tales about the nefarious motivations of the Jews, is not “race realism.” The conflation of this activity with race realism has misled people, made it harder to bring legitimate but controversial science into the mainstream, and drawn attention away from important scientific questions about the actual origins of our political system.

I agree that it is not "race realism". Whatever makes Jews distinctive in their potlical advocacy is not primarily racial.

Cofnas just posted a defense to the claim that his race realist views have been debunked.

Three years ago, when I was a PhD student at Oxford, I published a paper in a highly respected philosophy and psychology journal calling for free inquiry into all possible causes of race differences in intelligence, including genes. ...

Daily Mail’s website: “EXCLUSIVE: Controversial ‘race researcher’ who wrote a 2019 report about so-called ‘gaps’ in IQ between white and non-white people is hired by Cambridge University’s philosophy faculty — and says the university knew about it before hiring him”. ...

Are scientific objections so compelling as to preclude debate? Let’s briefly examine five of the most popular ostensibly scientific arguments used to “debunk” hereditarianism.

He explains that the IQ gaps are real, and that they are only denied by bogus leftist ideological arguments.

Shermer Attacks Conspiracy Theories

Professional skeptic Michael Shermer writes in Quillette:

That theory, in turn, could be traced in part to the notorious hoax document known as The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, which purported to present the proceedings of a secret meeting of Jews plotting global domination. Many believed it was genuine, including American industrialist Henry Ford, who published his own derivative conspiratorial tract entitled, The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem. (He subsequently withdrew it from circulation when he found out The Protocols was a fake.)

Wikipedia explains that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was fake in the sense that some of the passages were plagiarize from other works describing plots for world domination. In one case, an interest rate calculation was copied from an 1864 political satire. Here is the Ford book.

While The Protocols no longer has mainstream proponents, belief in conspiracy theories remains a stubborn—and sometimes deadly—problem. In 2021, the California-based Skeptic Research Center, which I direct along with colleagues Anondah Saide and Kevin McCaffree, conducted a survey of 3,139 randomly selected Americans in regard to 29 conspiracy theories, with respondents being asked to signal their attitudes on a seven-point scale ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.” The results were alarming. Nearly one in five Americans (19 percent) told us they believe, to some degree, the QAnon-style theory that “the government, media, and financial worlds in the United States are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation.” Over a quarter of Americans (26 percent) said they agree, to some degree, that “the actions of the US government are not determined by elected officials, but by an unelected secret group of business and cultural elites known as the Deep State.”

So you tell me. Why are all the authorities suddenly in favor of sex-grooming and mutilating schoolchildren? Why are htey all in favor of the Ukraine war? Jamie Raskin co-signed a statement expressing some concerns about the war, and then retracted it saying essentially that the war is needed for the Deep State to advance the cause of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.

Donald Trump would be pleased to learn that over a quarter of respondents (28 percent) expressed some measure of agreement with the proposition that “the 2020 presidential election of Joe Biden was fraudulent, because it was tampered with by high-ranking politicians, voting machine programmers, and poll workers.”

Those officials did change the voting rules. Trump won a clear majority of votes cast and counted on election day. Everything else was unverifiable, inexcusable, and possibly illegal.

Axios reports:

The Biden administration is concerned that if opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu wins Tuesday's elections, he will form a government with extreme right-wing parties and Jewish supremacists, including Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smortich, will be made senior ministers and be part of the security cabinet.

That is bizarre. I thought that Jewish supremacy was an anti-semitic conspiracy theory. Why would anyone care about Jewish supremacists in Israel? The Biden administration is full of them. Those are the ones to be concerned about.

Harvard Looks Bad at the Supreme Court

I listened to part of the US Supreme Court arguments on Harvard's affirmative action admissions.

Several things seemed odd.

Much of the talk was about "Asians", when they really meant Oriental Americans. No one was willing to discuss the interests of White Americans.

Harvard rated Asian applicants as high in intelligence and academic accomplishments, and low in personality and other subjective factors. The high ratings were taken as factual, while the low ratings were inexplicable, except by personal prejudice.

Why? Isn't it possible that Asians really are high in intelligence and low in personality? We could get into a nature-nurture debate on why Asians rate high academically, but that is beside the point. If they can rate high in some areas, they can rate low in others, without any prejudice.

It appeared that everyone wanted to find a way for Harvard to reach its diversity goals, without racial quotas. Diversity good, explicit racial preferences bad.

But why? They obviously don't believe in diversity for its own sake, as they do not hire any Trump supporters on its faculty. They do not make any effort to admit evangelical Christians or various other underrepresented groups. Diversity is just a code word for anti-White.

I am not sure it is bad to have racial quotas. Most people seem to think that Black colleges are okay. But Harvard takes federal money and is transparently unfair and dishonest with its racial preferences, and most people seem to think Harvard will lose. Harvard acts as if it can lose, and go about doing the same thing anyway, but justifying it differently.

If racial preferences are justified as a remedy for past injustices, when do they end? That is the question no one could answer. Most of Harvard's Black admissions are to those whose families never suffered any injustices. If it were a remedy, it would have ended decades ago.

Why Ukraine is Still at War

Fiona Hill was one of the non-Jewish witnesses against Pres. Trump in the first impeachment, complaining that he was not shipping more weapons to kill Russians.

Now she with with a leftist think-tank and co-wrote an essay on the Ukraine War. She is all in favor of World War III with Russia, but reveals this:

According to multiple former senior U.S. officials we spoke with, in April 2022, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement: Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and instead receive security guarantees from a number of countries.

The West killed the deal:

The news highlights the impact of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s efforts to stop negotiations, as journalist Branko Marcetic noted on Twitter. The decision to scuttle the deal coincided with Johnson’s April visit to Kyiv, during which he reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to break off talks with Russia for two key reasons: Putin cannot be negotiated with, and the West isn’t ready for the war to end.

The apparent revelation raises some key questions: Why did Western leaders want to stop Kyiv from signing a seemingly good deal with Moscow? Do they consider the conflict a proxy war with Russia? And, most importantly, what would it take to get back to a deal?

This is consistent with Russia's official position. Putin has always said that he does not want to accupy Ukraine. He just wants to protect the Russian territories and keep Ukraine neutral.

Ukraine has become a puppet state of the Western alliance. The war continues because the Western alliance is willing to kill Ukrainians in order to undermine Russia. And they want to undermine Russia because of a Jewish feminist LGBT agenda.

Putin could be lying, of course, but here are American officials saying the same thing. A reasonable settlement was available, but UK and USA blocked it.

Ukraine is being propped up by Western aid and weapons. The UK and USA appear willing to commit terrorist acts directly against Russia, such as blowing up the pipelines and maybe the Crimea bridge.

Leftist Hate Speech Still on Twitter

I checked Twitter for hate speech, and I found this Hillary Clinton tweet:

The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.

She is spreading misinformation. No, the Pelosi attack was not the result of the Republican Party regularly spreading hate. She is the one spreading hate to say this.

She also has a veiled threat against her enemies. She says "hold them accountable for their words", and apparently wants to punish politicians for their free speech.

Pres. Biden says similar things, and also blamed people who say the Presidential election was stolen. So did Barack Obama. Of course, H. Clinton has been saying for years that the 2016 election was stolen.

Clinton and Biden are essentially saying that no one should be allowed to disagree with them.

Perhaps you are going to argue that right-wing speech is more offensive than left-wing speech. I do not agree. For example, it is left-wingers who are grooming schoolchildren with sexualized messages. That is more offensive than anything I have seen on the Daily Stormer.

Update: The story that the Pelosi attacker is a MAGA fanatic appears to be a lie. See here and here.

Also, I wonder why San Francisco police were so timid. They apparently got to the scene promptly, and did nothing, according to the NY Times:

Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, was thousands of miles away in Washington, D.C., protected by her security detail, but her husband, 82-year-old Paul Pelosi, was home. By the time police officers arrived after being dispatched at 2:27 a.m., they found the assailant and Mr. Pelosi wrestling for control of a hammer. The intruder then pulled the hammer away and “violently attacked” Mr. Pelosi with it in front of the officers, said William Scott, San Francisco’s chief of police.

An intruder with a hammer attacking an 82-year-old resident should have been shot on sight. My guess is that SF cops are trained to not intervene when an rich old man appears to having rough gay sex with a much younger man.

This incident was soon after it was revealed that Nancy Pelosi threatened to punch Pres. Trump, and would be happy to go to jail for it. Probably a coincidence.

Update: There are still some fishy things about the incident. A TV station reported that the attacker was in his underwear, but that has now been denied. Also denials:

There were media reports that a third person opened the front door to allow officers to enter the Pelosi home. Jenkins said that was not true.

"At this time, we don't have information as to which of the men, Mr. Pelosi or the suspect, opened the door at the time," Jenkins said.

So oneof them let the cops in, and then the cops watched the attacker beat Pelosi with a hammer? Hard to believe.

Update: More doubts about the attack story.

Russia Accuses Britain of Terrorist Attack

I previously said that the USA is the obvious suspect to have blown up hte Nord Stream I and II pipelines.

Reuters reports:

Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday that British navy personnel blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines last month, a claim that London said was false and designed to distract from Russian military failures in Ukraine. ...

The United States has denied involvement.

If the USA and UK did this, they would deny it.

Here is a good anti-Biden ad.

Raskin Explains the Ukraine War

Congressman Jamie Raskin is part of the Progressive Caucus that announced it wants war with Russia with no negotiation, and now announced this explanation:

Moscow right now is a hub of corrupt tyranny, censorship, authoritarian repression, police violence, propaganda, government lies and disinformation, and planning for war crimes. It is a world center of antifeminist, antigay, anti-trans hatred, as well as the homeland of replacement theory for export. In supporting Ukraine, we are opposing these fascist views, and supporting the urgent principles of democratic pluralism. Ukraine is not perfect, of course, but its society is organized on the radically different principles of democracy and freedom, which is why Russia's oligarchical leaders seek to destroy it forever.

What? Yes, Raskin is Jewish. No one else would say anything so ridiculous.

Apparently he thinks that because Ukraine is headed by a Jew, it is participating in the worldwide Jewish campaign to replace White Christians with feminists and LGBTQ folks. Russia is one of the countries criticizing Western decadence. So Raskin wants war with Russia. I doubt that we would have this war, without the Raskins promoting it.

I think he is a little mixed up. According to Wikipedia, Russia is 47% Christian, and Ukraine is 82% Christian. Ukraine is more likely to resist Jewish replacement than Russia.

I guess the idea is that if USA and the West are able to destroy Ukraine with war, and make it dependent on the West, then it will be coerced into Jewish perversions.

The NY Times reports:

This month, a Republican senator, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, said Democrats favored reparations “for the people that do the crime,” suggesting the movement to compensate the descendants of slavery was about paying criminals. And Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, made explicit reference to “replacement theory,” the racist notion that nonwhite, undocumented immigrants are “replacing” white Americans, saying, “Joe Biden’s five million illegal aliens are on the verge of replacing you.”

Such language, as well as ads portraying chaos by depicting Black rioters and Hispanic immigrants illegally racing across the border, have prompted Democrats and their allies to accuse Republicans of resorting to racist fear tactics.

The Democrat Party controls the House, and it has banned Greene from committee roles for being White and saying things like this. Raskin, the NY Times, and other Jews have a fixation on their replacement theory. They hate White Christians like Greene, and will do anything to replace them.

The NY Times says replacement theory is a racist theory all the time, but it also regularly prints stories saying it is true. A couple of days ago, it reported:

The county in recent years has become one of the nation’s most diverse, where the former white majority has fallen to just 30 percent of the population.

A shrinking white share of the population is a hallmark of the congressional districts held by the House Republicans who voted to challenge Mr. Trump’s defeat…

Because they are more vulnerable, disadvantaged or less educated white voters can feel especially endangered by the trend toward a minority majority, … the white population of the United States expected within about two decades to lose its majority.

Yes, White Christian middle class Americans are losing their majority. And not by chance, but by deliberate policies.  

Former AG Bill Barr explains in the WSJ:

Rising Crime Rates Are a Policy Choice

Progressives can’t solve the problem because they won’t abandon the practices that cause it.

Yes, crime is out of control becaise of Democrat policies to replace Whites with BIPOCs.

Every day the NY Times has articles on how the Republican Party ought to embrace democracy. So now it is, by letting the people vote on whether to continue the Democrat pro-crime policies. And of course the NY Times complains about that also.

Leftists Panic About Musk Twitter Takeover

The New Republic essay:

GOODBYE, FACTS
Why Elon Musk’s Idea of “Free Speech” Will Help Ruin America

Twitter without content moderation—and with Donald Trump and others reinvited—means that lies and disinformation will overwhelm the truth and the fascists will take over. ...

The pro-Musk arguments are complete nonsense, and there are innumerable historical and modern examples of why social media platforms with nearly unlimited freedom of speech produce horrors. The Supreme Court decided free speech isn’t absolute long ago, when Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes noted that you can’t shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater, for obvious reasons.

In case you are not familiar with that decision, the link helpfully explains:

Holmes, writing for a unanimous Court, ruled that it was a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917 (amended by the Sedition Act of 1918) to distribute flyers opposing the draft during World War I. Holmes argued that this abridgment of free speech was permissible because it presented a "clear and present danger" to the government's recruitment efforts for the war.

The search warrant of Pres. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home was justified by an investigation of violations of that same 1917 Espionage Act.

Wow. I had heard that "crowded theater" analogy many times, but I did not know that it was an excuse to criminalize anti-war flyers.

Back to TNR:

First, freedom of speech has caused untold death and suffering when used to disseminate hate or spread disinformation. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was a fabricated antisemitic text that purported to expose a global baby-murdering Jewish plot bent on world domination. Mein Kampf was Hitler’s autobiography, which blamed Germany’s post–World War I woes on a global Jewish conspiracy.

So now the Jews have taken over the world, more or less as those books warned, and they silence anyone like Kanye West who dares to point it out. Now CNN is trying to tie West to Hitler.

TNR gets even more hysterical:

Nor is completely unfettered social media free speech good for democracy as a whole. Gab and Parler were both implicated as platforms used to organize the January 6, 2021, insurrection, which was a literal attempt to end democracy, and usher in a regime that would crush dissenting voices on social media. Not only were crypto-racists like Tucker Carlson excited by Musk’s move to buy Twitter, far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and neofascist and white supremacist Nick Fuentes (banned by Twitter and now likely to return) were ecstatic. Anti-trans campaigners promised to go on a spree of dead-naming and misgendering transgender people to demonstrate that “free speech” means insulting and harassing minorities.

Wow, people might demonstrate to have their votes count, and might use the wrong pronouns.

Trump and Nixon were Pro-Israel

NBC News reports:

The White House criticized former President Donald Trump on Monday for telling American Jews over the weekend to "get their act together" and "appreciate" Israel "before it is too late."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a news briefing that Trump’s comments on his Truth Social website were "antisemitic" and "insulting" both to "Jews and to our Israeli allies."

"For years now, Donald Trump has aligned with extremist and antisemitic figures," she said.

Trump, who has frequently described American Jews in relation to Israel and argued that he deserves more political support for having moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, wrote Sunday: "No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S."

Jewish organizations swiftly criticized Trump’s comments, which leaned on a trope that American Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the U.S.

"These are dangerous comments at a dangerous time," Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in an interview Monday with MSNBC. "He has been invoking antisemitic tropes for years about Jewish power, about Jewish greed, about dual loyalty."

According to Israeli publications, Trump is only the second-greatest pro-Israel President.

Nixon liked Israelis — a lot. He was close to Golda Meir, the prime minister; Moshe Dayan, the defense minister; and Yitzhak Rabin, the ambassador to the United States. Rabin would break diplomatic protocol and campaign for Nixon in 1972. Nixon saw his resolute, paranoid Cold Warrior reflected in Israelis. Like him, they were hard-edged realists who were forced to play for the highest stake of all, their existence.

Nixon stands out among presidents for taking the boldest risk for Israel: a much-needed arms airlift during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. An astonishing 567 missions by American aircraft (not to mention deliveries by sea and El Al flights) kept Israel fighting. Nixon ignored the counsel of his closest adviser, Henry Kissinger, who wanted to allow the war to play out for a while longer to give Egyptian President Anwar Sadat the political cover he needed to make peace in its aftermath. The stakes were too high for Israel to play with timing, Nixon told Kissinger.

Nixon had little to gain and much to lose. He was in his second term and, in any case, the Republican was never going to win over the largely liberal Jewish vote. The airlift helped spur an Arab oil embargo, driving gasoline prices sky high. Preoccupied by Watergate and mired in Vietnam, and against the advice of his Jewish adviser, Nixon risked a new war with the Soviets to save Israel.

Nixon “made it possible for Israel to win, at some risk to his own reputation and at great risk to the American economy,” historian Stephen Ambrose said.

Israel’s leadership knew it.

“President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing,” Meir said, toasting Nixon during his 1974 visit. “All I can say, Mr. President, as friends and as an Israeli citizen to a great American president, thank you.”

Trump and Nixon were both Republican Presidents, and were relentless attacked by American Jews for being anti-semitic. The Jews continued to vote as a bloc for Democrats.

Andrew Anglin writes, from a site that has now been blocked from the open web:

But here we are in the current year with the Jews saying that anti-Semitism is more prevalent in America than at any time in history, and no single company in operation is anti-Semitic. The math here is not difficult: the only explanation for this is that the Jews have an absolute ability to shut down anyone who does not go along with their program.

Now, you don’t even need that analysis. You can just look at what happened to Ye. All the man said was his personal opinion, and gave his own account of his experience, which in a free country would be protected. He was not mean about it, he was not “hateful,” and he’s repeatedly said that he apologizes to anyone who is not guilty. The Jews, including the “bro kike” Lex Fridman, have said that he must apologize to the guilty. ...

If you offend the Jews, they make you grovel like a worm for permission to live as a worm.

This must stop. It can’t go on. If the Jews are going to dominate the government, news, entertainment, academia, and healthcare, and make all of these decisions about who is allowed to do what, make decisions about eliminating people from the business world unilaterally, then we have to be able to talk about it and we have to have some ability to petition grievances against them.

Ye has to be able to say “I don’t like Jews controlling every aspect of my life.” Christians have to be able to say “I don’t like Jews mutilating the genitals of children.”

This situation that we are in now, where the Jews have total power and yet you’re not even allowed to mention that they have power without them using that power to destroy your business and your family, is unsustainable. ...

Jews completely destroyed my life because I questioned Jewish power. I don’t talk about it often because I don’t want to sound like I’m whining, but it’s true and it’s relevant now. You simply cannot believe what these people have done to me, simply because I ran a website saying “Jews are powerful and we need to talk about the fact that they are powerful.” ...

The reason it is relevant that they did this to me is that they do it to everyone. They are doing it to Ye right now, and the world is watching.

Thus far, Ye has:

Banned from Instagram
Banned from Twitter
Banned from all podcasts but the very most hostile and Jewish
Banned from Fox News
Banned from cooperating with Candace Owens
Cut off by Balenciaga
Cut off by Vogue
Cut off by Adidas
Cut off by Gap
Lost his family
Lost his friends
Lost his assistant
Lost his lead designer
Lost his talent agent
Lost his lawyers
And this shut down is just getting started. The goal is for him to be desolate and ultimately dead. I know this story, and I can tell you how it goes.

The nerve of these Jews to claim they “do not have power” is quite simply incomprehensible.

Anti-semitism is just a code word for Jews destroying their enemies.
