Who destroyed American education? In a recent article, “The Zionist Destruction of American Higher Education,” Ron Unz blames it on the Jews. https://www.unz.com/runz/the-zionist-destruction-of-american-higher-education/

Clearly they had a hand in it, but was it intentional or a product of intellectual ideas German Jewish Cultural Marxists brought to the US in the 1930s? And how powerful an influence was Cultural Marxism compared to the ideas unfolding from the Enlightenment? I will answer these questions.

But first, Unz’s article is characteristically long, which makes it a struggle for a modern day audience. His article is also mis-titled. His article is about the Trump regime’s completion of the destruction of the First Amendment with the full cooperation of the Congress and judiciary. It is an important article to read, especially for MAGA-Americans who sincerely believe that Trump can both restore America while destroying the Constitution.

Unz begins his article with a report of the seizure and abduction in Boston of a doctoral student from Turkey at Tufts University here on a Fulbright Scholarship by six masked agents of Homeland Security. Why and why Homeland Security? Was she engaging in activities that are a threat to the United States? No, a year ago she had coauthored an article for the Tufts student newspaper criticizing Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. She was regarded as a danger to Israel, not to the United States. This is a devastating development. The US “justice system” serves Israel at the expense of the US Constitution’s protection of free speech.

If her arrest and deportation had occurred in Israel, we would account for it as just another of never-ending Israeli police state action and consider her lucky not to have been gang-raped by Israeli defense forces and murdered.

But it occurred in America. Unz’s explanation, which I regard as correct as far as it goes, is that the Zionist Israel Lobby’s ability to provide campaign funds to a politician or to his opponent, and The Lobby’s ability to destroy politically those who do not serve Israel, is complete, total. As I have emphasized throughout my life, when money is permitted to be in politics, money determines, not the people’s vote, not truth, not justice. Money makes it impossible for the American government to stand up to Israel. There is only one member of the entire Congress, both House and Senate, who is not a de facto agent of Israel. He gets away with it, because one doesn’t matter. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he was murdered as a demonstration of Israel’s immunity from accountability.

When I was young, Americans understood Jews as pushy people who if you allowed them into your business, country club, or university would soon take over.

In those days prestigious universities, such as Harvard, shied away from Jewish students and faculty. Harvard had a gentile Anglo-Saxon network that placed its graduates easily on roads to success, which was the value of a Harvard degree, and Harvard did not want this network taken over by Jews, which it has been.

Jewish faculty was regarded as unsupportive of Anglo-Saxon America and an honorable conduct of life. One of the academic consequences was that Paul Samuelson, a Jew who was the premier American economist of the postwar 20th century, was unwelcome by the Harvard faculty and took his appointment at MIT.

I was invited to meet Samuelson in his office the morning that I addressed the combined graduate economic faculties, both faculty and graduate students of Harvard and MIT in my invited “State of Economic Science” lecture. Samuelson, whose economics textbook was the foundation of economic education, welcomed me, and expressed interest in hearing about the essence of the new supply-side economics that was combatting stagflation. It was far from a hostile encounter. Later Samuelson wrote in his text book that the supply-side effect was real. The only question was its power.

After I delivered my address and a few feeble replies from the assembled faculties, the Harvard and MIT doctoral students gave me a standing ovation. Impressed, Henry Rosovsky, the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Harvard, my former professor at the University of California, Berkeley, tried to get me appointed professor of economics at Harvard. The students were in agreement, but the faculty, frozen in the Keynesian box, wouldn’t hear of it. Nevertheless, Harvard University Press published my peer-reviewed book, The Supply-Side Revolution and saw it through a Chinese language publication.

I mention these incidents only to show that thought gets trapped in boxes and cannot get out. Consequently, bad things happen.

As for the Jewish attack on American education, let me put it in context. For many years Jews were not numerous members of university faculties or student bodies. My impression, which might be wrong, is that the first major introduction of Jewish intellectual force into an Ivy League university was the arrival of the German Frankfurt School at Columbia University in the 1930s as refugees from National Socialist Germany. The Frankfurt School consisted of Jewish Marxists whose agenda was a communist revolution. World War I caused Marxists to write off Marx’s proletariat. The war, contrary to Marxist expectations, failed to cause the proletariats to throw off their nationalist chains and unite against their oppressors. Instead, the proletariats united with their nationalist masters and fought one another.

The Frankfurt school addressed the problem of how the revolution was to be accomplished now that the workers had not thrown off their chains as Karl Marx had predicted they would do. The Frankfurt School’s solution was a “march through the institutions.” Just as Lenin concluded that the Bolsheviks had to take the place of the proletariat if there was to be revolution, the Frankfurt School reasoned that Marxist intellectuals had to subvert the institutions of bourgeois society, and it would then collapse. This gave birth to Cultural Marxism.

ORDER IT NOW

It is important to understand that the Frankfurt School did not come here as activists to destroy American education. They came to save their lives and to continue the intellectual tradition of Marxist revolution. They taught that the proletariat had proven itself unreliable and therefore revolution had to be obtained by undermining societal and cultural institutions, the result being the collapse of the belief system and bourgeois society.

I suspect the cultural Marxists were accepted by Columbia University because they were on the cutting edge of left-wing, not Jewish, thinking. It was a left-wing movement whose members happened to be largely Jewish. Over time, the ideas spread and gained academic influence, perhaps not so much from their own power as from another intellectual development that was undermining the belief system in Western Civilization and had been doing so prior to Cultural Marxism.

This far more powerful intellectual force was the unfolding of the logic in the foundation of Western intellectual thought. An inconsistency was present. The Enlightenment secularized morality while at the same time unleashing moral demands on society. But science called into question the validity or reality of moral motives. Scientists couldn’t weigh morality, measure it, calculate its strength, or judge its presence. Morality seemed to vary according to class, race, gender, religion, national interest, and stage of societal and political development, and according to who had the upper hand–“might makes right.” A nymphomaniac does not have the same sexual morality as a puritan.

The consequence of the skepticism of morality is that morality cannot speak in its own name. Before the Enlightenment, societies did hot have the notion of transforming society and achieving social perfection. So the problem did not arise. But with moral demands being placed on society, how could post-Enlightenment morality be expressed?

The answer is by denunciation of existing society and institutions. Morality was expressed by denouncing existing society for its immorality. The liberal reforms all relied on denunciation–slavery, racism, colonialism, exploitation, discrimination, class-based privileges, child labor, restricted franchise, the list goes on. The way society moved forward was not through affirmation of its successes but denunciation of its faults. Over time a denunciatory mind-set emerged. It affected the ways literature, history, politics, anthropology, law, and sociology were taught, and in our days brands math and science as “tools of white supremacy.”

The Jews were not responsible for this. Cultural Marxism fit in with it, but the process would have rolled along strongly without Cultural Marxism.

My Oxford University professor, Michael Polanyi, explained the development of what I will call for now a denunciatory ethic. He explained it in 1960 to an important intellectual conference in Berlin. His explanation is titled “Beyond Nihilism,” and it is published in History and Hope (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1962). Despite the high level of intelligence and education present, there was not enough of either present to understand what Polanyi was explaining. Years ago I worked out a way to explain the contradictions in our intellectual foundations that was less demanding, but, alas, had no success in attracting concern to the issue. Today educational standards are far below those of the persons present at the Berlin conference 65 years ago and of my generation.

Ideas do have consequences, many of which are unintended and unrecognized. As ideas unfold, they affect how we think and act. It is ideas and their consequences that determine history, not conspiracies. Indeed, conspiracies themselves are the consequences of ideas.

As far as I can tell, the serious study of intellectual history no longer exists. Perhaps a course still exists in a university somewhere. If so it is probably conducted in a DEI format exposing serious thought as more tools of white racism.

What is the conclusion of my essay? The conclusion is that the danger we face–all of Western civilization including Russia–is unknown and unrecognized by us and, thereby, has us by the throat as it destroys our belief system.

    Even if you believe that, what Cultural Marxism (Jew control) has resulted in is this. All of our key institutions are now under the control of organized jewry. What that means is there is no way to reverse what has happened. Jews will never turn loose and most people still don’t realize what is controlling their culture and lives. They will never allow us to have a return to our Christian culture nor will they allow Whites to return to a dominant position. If you don’t want to believe Jews were the reason for our demise, I guess that’s ok but it’s hard to believe anyone doesn’t believe they are the reason we can’t be fixed.

  3. Institutions can be corrupted entirely from outside by money. It doesn’t take professors who are determined to advance an agenda to corrupt an educational institution. Private money can suffice to effect change from outside.

    This is a solid and well reasoned post, and I have no doubt that he is onto something important.

    However… ideology aside, one cannot dismiss the catchphrase “scratch a problem, find a jew”, because it’s presents itself with such incredible frequency, astonishing frequency… inexplicable frequency.

    And perhaps his explanation for beginning of it all is accurate, but where it is today? Every bizarre anti-American group, every anti-family group, every anti-straight white people group (ok, on this some marxist blacks are mixed in, but rarely lead, because a jew leads it, with black foot soldiers) every pro-queer, pro-tranny, pro-satanist, pro-perversion group.

    It’s always, jews, jews, and more jews.

    And then there is “government”, which is so incredibly jew-laden that it boggles the mind.

    So, “no”, he may make some very good points, may speak to the origins, and is maybe talking about a component…. but the overall “problem” is still jews.

  5. The reality is that Jews and Anglos form one symbiotic entity, and neither one is complete without the other. As a single entity, they are a single problem that requires a single solution.

  6. “It is important to understand that the Frankfurt School did not come here as activists to destroy American education. They came to save their lives and to continue the intellectual tradition of Marxist revolution.”

    That’s the exact same fucking thing, sir

    Also, it sounds like your idea that a fundamental flaw/contradiction in Western thought is the source of all our problems originates with one Michael (((Polanyi))), and this idea was so jewish in its original presented form that even academics accustomed to sucking down/parsing jew horseshit couldn’t understand it. That’s a problem.

  7. Good article in spite of the misleading title. One important correction, however. Cultural Marxism really begins with Antonio Gramsci, co-founder of the Italian Communist Party who famously split with Amadeo Bordiga over the future of socialism. His Prison Notebooks, which introduce the concept of Cultural Hegemony, were written between 1926 and 1933 and published in 1947 (three years before Theodor Adorno’s Authoritarian Personality).

    It is Gramsci who set off the ‘long march through the institutions’ which abandoned working class revolutionary struggle and opted instead to take over of the entire culture industry (and thereby societal values), not just higher education but primary education, publishing, mass media, the arts, and the soft sciences, and this influence spread from universities to think tanks to the government. This was viewed as reformist and a sell-out to liberalism. Put another way, liberalism swallowed socialism and adopted its methods. Meanwhile, Bordiga held to Marxist-Leninist struggle for total communism, until finally determining that Marxism itself was inadequate to the task.

    It is also worth mentioning the influence of Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich (especially on “sexual liberation”), and Franz Boaz on anthropology (essentially blank slate-ism). It is also worth mentioning Nietzsche who (in spite of his superman) opened the gates for postmodern relativism.

    The dominant political ideologies of the twentieth century (Liberalism, Socialism, and Nationalism) all originate with Hegel’s thought (essentially, as I read it, conflict as the motor of history) and lead, through a dialectical process with each other, to technocracy, aka “neoliberalism.” (You are here now). Now that liberalism has defeated/become its adversaries (including nationalism/fascism), it devours itself and becomes authoritarian. With the widespread failure of democracy (to be democratic), the question for the coming century is only what form of authoritarianism do you prefer, because you will have it.

    All that said, it is worth mentioning that Jürgen Habermas who was associated with the Frankfurt School holds views in opposition to the others, and was a member of the NSDAP. He is very much worth studying.

  8. @Triptolemus

    Perhaps I should have written, liberalism buggered and puppeteered socialism, employing its militant esthetic but working towards the “liberation” (weaponization) of bourgeois identities of consumption, while maintaining the scaffolding of capitalism and liberal democracy (both also illusory). Socialism today is (with few exceptions) literally fake and gay.

    Of course. Their reason for coming here was because they saw the handwriting on the wall in Weimar and the jig was up. Hitler and the German people were going to stop what they were doing. Like any rat that is desperate and cornered, goal one is self preservation. But while destroying our culture and civilization was not their first immediate concern, once they got here, they did what Jews do wherever they go. They began poisoning our country and changing things to their insane and demonic way of thinking. It is meaningless to say that wasn’t why they came here.

    Good for PCR, allowing comments. Nobody can call him a weenie now!

    That said, the history of ideas stuff here is off base. After WWII the world had begun the process of codifying Kant’s categorical imperative and perpetual peace, the greatest achievement of Enlightenment thought. By acclamation, with the UDHR. They’re almost done now. Polanyi’s right that the Enlightenment is revolutionary but wrong that it’s nihilistic. The categorical imperative restricts state objectives to the logically irreducible minimum. It also provides the most systematic ethical framework we ever had. Nothing relative about it, nondiscrimination is the linchpin.

    Meanwhile, the US adopted an innovation of their own. The president’s Gestapo. Well, it’s not his Gestapo. It’s the government now, they’re in charge. Institutional impunity was a totalitarian US state reaction against rights and rule of law. And the resulting totalitarian impunity regime has been fighting tooth and nail against the world consensus.

    The Enlightenment’s not done yet, that’s all.

  12. American education has been dumbed down so that some disadvantaged students can have the illusion of academic success instead of the reality. Imagine that, a student can graduate without learning to read.

    It makes life easier for teachers, too, since they don’t have to work for real to collect a paycheck.

    Later Samuelson wrote in his text book that the supply-side effect was real.

    that should have been your first clue right there, it was real in enriching the zionist cabal of banksters, running the federal reserve, which is neither federal nor a reserve. they cannot be audited, that are financially incentivized to create and amass debt, skimming 5% right off the top, by imagining our future tax earnings into existence, from future generations that haven’t been born yet. it is the greatest criminal organization in your beloved ‘merica, an inside job, combination ponzi scheme, counterfeiting and embezzling racket.

    don’t include russia in your dying, collapsing ponzi scheme of “western civilization”, they have broken free and turned eastward, they no longer need your “advice” and no longer want to join your social club. they have a real economy based on manufacturing and resource extraction, not financial hocus pocus.

    if you are still proud of your time in the reagan administration and the “great communicator” alzheimers patient you served, then you are as clueless about america, as you are about russia. by the way, all of your sky is falling bullshit, about putin proceeding too slow in their s.m.o., completely missed the economic war, that russia has turned around on the evil zioneocon empire, destroying the economies of the zionist lackys that tried to destroy them. you’d think such an “advanced economist” such as yourself, would understand the larger economic war, you seem to have completely missed.

    Problems in America (and Europe) are caused by progressive Globalism. What is the current status of this group? They hate Jews and Christians alike. The best term for them is — IslamoGloboHomo

    You can see this openly displayed. Look at the explicit mixing of extreme progressive race & Muslim propaganda.

      

    In Europe, IslamoGloboHomo is expressed via The Great Muslim Replacement of Jews and Christians. Can France and Germany be saved by Remigration? It might already be too late. You can call Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel many things… Jewish is not one of them. And, she is the #1 architect & cheer leader of the Muslim flood.

    In America, those who actually practice Judaism are rapidly recognizing the SJW🏳️‍🌈Muslim threat from the DNC. Up and coming democrat leaders include open anti-Semites, most notably Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s governor, was denied the VP slot on the DNC ticket because he is Jewish.

    • Orthodox Jews flipped to GOP/MAGA red some time ago.
    • I believe non-Orthodox Jews who attend synagogue once a week or more also majority voted for Trump this time around.
    • The group voting for the DNC is primarily secular, over educated, progressives who (despite their lineage) do not practice Judaism.

    What have Orthodox Jews done? They defied progressive authoritarians by cutting locks on parks gates during COVID, so their children had a place outdoors to play.

    As a Christian, I wish more of my coreligionists had this much backbone. All Christians and Jews should come together and defy IslamoGloboHomo authoritarianism.

    Very sadly whites and jews have been together so long what you say is true. We can point to education and media over history as the reason maybe I don’t know. As a White of German descent in the big picture what traits really separate our behavior and beliefs? The only difference I have observed from mostly conservative whites is that they believe deep down they are the second chosen. A belief that the rules for the rest really don’t apply to them . The only exception is for the Jewish people. Rules they would apply to themselves and standards are perfectly acceptable to be broken by the first chosen people.

    If listening to conversations and news I believe this would be a honest assessment of a great many Americans. Trump is a perfect example of this as have been all past politicians. No one better dare think of taking advantage of American in anyway . Israel can have free military and health insurance and not a peep.

    ” All of our key institutions are now under the control of organized jewry. What that means is there is no way to reverse what has happened. ”
    The Germans suffered a similar institutional takeover during the Wiemar Republic and were able to remove the jews and restore order within 4 years under NS rule. Bye, Bye Lady Gaga!

    The biggest thing national socialism does is give white Americans the culture to believe in themselves, to trust themselves, to trust their government and institutions, instead of the weaponized stasi state we have now.

    You don’t see all this. You don’t feel all this. You’ve been so atomized in your mind, your thinking, your culture, that you just cant think any other way. Unfortunately, the way, you think is the result of a jew mind weapon.

    This is the power of a psyop culture called individualism. There really is no country here. You better get it back or your going to die…

    Judeo Satanism is the dominant religion of the West.

    Where I disagree with PCR:
    1. Over the past few years he has referred to Zionist Bolshevik
    leftists and Neocons as NAZIS. Strange.
    2. He has repeatedly called for Jutin to blitzkrieg Jucraine.
    Has it ever occurred to PCR that Jutin is a Zionist Globalist
    and dragging out the Jucraine war is part of the Globalists
    plan to weaken the West.
    3. PCR has never drawn attention to Jutins quiet approval of
    of the non white invasion of the West.
    Jutin is the Zionist leader of the non white BRICS coalition and China’s
    military one belt road road scheme.
    4. PCR is ignoring that Trump never planned to deport 30 million military invaders.This would require the US Military to do so. Trump knew that the Zionist courts would block all his reform plans. Also Trump wants to expand Zionist Elon Muskrat’s demand for more non white H1B entries and
    that America (a Zionist Globalist non nation) needs more non white legal immigration.
    Trump is an anti white Zionist Globalist. He is trying to resurrect the 1980’s
    Plan for a Union of the Americas. Mexico alone would make white Western
    Americans a minority. Canada has already been destroyed as a white ethnic
    State and Canadian voters would vote for the Demonrat Party.

    Clearly they had a hand in it, but was it intentional or a product of intellectual ideas German Jewish Cultural Marxists brought to the US in the 1930s?

    […]

    It is important to understand that the Frankfurt School did not come here as activists to destroy American education. They came to save their lives and to continue the intellectual tradition of Marxist revolution.

    Apparently you’re not very familiar with the subject matter. Of course it was both; i.e. a product of jewish marxists and therefore intentional. Karl Marx was a theistic Satanist and Marxism is the political ideology of his Satanism. Such Satanic evil can only rise to the top of a society and stay there if it rises to the top everywhere.

    Will it be possible for this revolution to take place in one country alone?

    No.

    […]

    It is a universal revolution and will, accordingly, have a universal range.

    The major American universities were Christian at their founding, but Christianity’s warfare phase was long over by then. Even when blood & thunder Jesus was a war god, it was straining credulity that it would last very long. As the gospels were read more and more, the non-aggression elements became more pronounced.

    Judaism never had this problem: Yahweh was a war god first and last. Jewish will to power is built in, it needed no outside expansionist expression like Manifest Destiny to prime the pump.

    It needs to be mentioned that the idea of the academy was pagan in inception. And exclusive at least in theory. Greeks were there to teach other Greeks and expand ideas for their greater good.

    To “get back” to our philosophical founding principles, we need the founding ideology. At minimum, it must be secular and exclusively European. Jews are now wealthy enough for their versions and need no longer bother us.

    I believe the right to vote shouldn’t be given away so freely, recent studies are highlighting the amount of people coming out of the education system illiterate and innumerate…are these the people who swing elections? Do we want that?

    Americans need a revolution to remove the Zionist threat, it is an invasion and like all occupying forces it must be removed through some force because it will not be removed by any other method.

    Then its time to have a long hard look at democracy and how the American people came to the place they’re now at.

    Democracy needs a major overhaul and this must be the number one priority.

    Democracy is not some sacred cow never to be touched it needs constant oversight to recognise preventable evils and this oversight should be by people with good intentions and the intelligence to back it up.

    So its either do nothing and be fed brought and paid for clowns like Biden and Trump or fight and throw the money lenders out of the temple, its your choice, nobody else is going to do it but the American people.

  26. But with moral demands being placed on society, how could post-Enlightenment morality be expressed?

    The answer is by denunciation of existing society and institutions. Morality was expressed by denouncing existing society for its immorality. The liberal reforms all relied on denunciation–slavery, racism, colonialism, exploitation, discrimination, class-based privileges, child labor, restricted franchise, the list goes on. The way society moved forward was not through affirmation of its successes but denunciation of its faults. Over time a denunciatory mind-set emerged. It affected the ways literature, history, politics, anthropology, law, and sociology were taught, and in our days brands math and science as “tools of white supremacy.”

    As I have occasionally pointed out here at Unz Review, I was on the left for a long time and learned about its main weapon, which they called being critical, though it is the same thing as being denunciatory. Anyway, they said that unless one was critical of one’s society, there were hidden flaws (racism, etc.) that would remain hidden, so being critical was morally obligatory.

    But at some point, I realized that what was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander, that one ought to be just as critical of the critics as the critics were of society. And once I began doing that, it was like shooting fish in a barrel: there were huge numbers of hidden problems that I hadn’t seen until I began to be critical of the left. Hardly any leftists see these problems even now.

    My favorite example is that of the left banging on and on about the legacy of slavery here in America while completely ignoring the fact that there is still slavery in North Africa.

    Anyway, the denunciatory impulse is itself riddled with inconsistencies, the biggest being its willingness to be critical of society, but never of themselves.

  30. This is an interesting complementary post to Ron’s. Taking some of PCR’s points in reverse order:

    The conclusion is that the danger we face–all of Western civilization including Russia–is unknown and unrecognized by us and, thereby, has us by the throat as it destroys our belief system.

    I wholeheartedly agree, although speaking personally, I recognize the threat all too well. The battle for the ideas of Western civilization (at least over the last 600 years) is covered in great depth by Lyndon LaRouche Jr. in his 3 part tour de force essay on the subject. Part one is here). LaRouche describes a group who have been subverting the ideas which drive our civilization forward for centuries. He sums up the final part thus: “Five-and-a-half centuries after the Council of Florence, Venice and its outgrowth, the “Venetian Party,” has come to dominate not only the financial institutions of the world, and most of the political ones, but also dominates the institutions of science, arts, and education generally. Under this reign, the world has been brought to the verge of a general collapse of an apocalyptic quality like that of the Fourteenth Century, but much worse. Time is running out rapidly”. In 2025 I’d consider the Venetian Party’s conquest all but complete.

    On the subject of liberal reforms, I’d highly recommend this Substack post describing the “egalitarian ratchet effect“. I find this a very useful concept to understand how the egalitarianism integral to Christianity has led to an inexorable series of egalitarian revolutions, each of which building upon the last – to the extent that Christendom has itself succumbed in the process.

    LaRouche explains that empiricism was a idea introduced by the Venetian Party to subvert scientific thinking itself. The destruction of Christian morality via the basilisk stare of empirical scientific analysis presaged our current nihilistic age. There seems no way back. With the bedrock of Christian morality lying in a pile of Nietzschean relativist rubble we are lost. The Venetian Party control every lever of power in the world and more importantly all of the ideas. Their civilization will replace ours. I’m all ears to counter arguments.

    I would agree that the Categorical Imperative is the greatest achievement of Enlightenment thought. It was the turnkey idea allowing morality to be separated from its theological origins, thus eventually leading to the destruction of the idea of morality itself (Nietzsche). Way to go Immanuel. The UDHR and the limits on state objectives imposed by Kant’s ethical framework is anyhow a morality for slaves. The people who chose themselves have no need of such nonsense.

    I fear you are right, the Enlightenment is not done yet.

    Be open to other ideas. That is the whole point of free speech.

  34. Franz: “The major American universities were Christian at their founding, but Christianity’s warfare phase was long over by then. ”

    No. Harvard was founded in 1636. The American Civil War that took place more than two centuries later probably wouldn’t have happened at all without the Christian religious fanaticism that drove it, insisted upon it. Christian morality regarding the racial and sexual egalitarianism expressed in Galatians 3:28 still remains dominant to this day. It has sunk into the culture so deeply that even most atheists accept this kind of egalitarian worldview as the only one possible. Yet, intriguingly, PCR admits it was science that “called into question the validity or reality of moral motives”. But not egalitarianism. Few are brave enough to doubt the validity or reality of that! Adolf Hitler tried, and look what happened to him! LOL

    This error is deeply embedded in the culture and stems from America’s Christian past. Americans were taught to believe that God himself regards everyone equally and holds all of them to the same standard, regardless of race or sex. However, if the races and sexes actually ARE unequal in abilities, then that doesn’t make sense. So to believe in racial or sexual inequality becomes a heresy. It implies that the Christian God must be crazy for valuing the retard and the genius equally.

    Of course, here someone will try to make a distinction between “spiritual value” (whatever that’s supposed to be) and intelligence. They’ll claim I’m wrong to conflate the two. Perhaps that’s theologically correct. But in the popular mind, intelligence can’t be separated from the invisible spirit or “soul”. The vast majority of people are under the impression they exist apart from their bodies. That’s why a belief in life after death is so widespread. It’s a kind of naive realism that supposes that because something seems to be true, it is. A person’s idea of himself — his awareness of himself as a thinking entity, his thoughts and personality — that’s really the cash value of “soul”. Science itself, with its materialistic assumptions, may challenge such a worldview, but can’t disprove it. People cling fiercely to it for a lot of reasons, not the least of which are the nihilistic the implications of its not being true. For if we really are just our bodies, then there is no life after death, no equality, very likely no “free will”, and hence no justice. Many long-cherished notions indispensable to the smooth functioning of society would be invalidated if it’s widely understood and acknowledged that the existence of the “soul” is an illusion. So, for now at least, the myth of equality continues its reign.

    The invocation of the ideas of Michael Polanyi to explain the inherent contradictions in Enlightenment thought is an excellent choice. Polanyi captured the central contradiction with his concepts of “moral inversion” and “dynamo-objective coupling.” I think the central insight is that the concept of secular morality in which there can be no basis for social morality that transcends an individual society itself, in its unique historical predicament and amoral struggle for political control. The essence of human nature is to strive for the transcendent. Secular society represses that striving, producing the social equivalent of neurosis.
    Wikipedia explains Polanyi’s profound ideas:
    Michael Polanyi’s concept of dynamo-objective coupling (DOC) describes a linking of intense moral passion with a desire for extreme objectivity1. According to Polanyi, this is a “moral inversion” where a repressed moral belief is consciously denied in the service of presumed objectivity

    In my post I give a thumbnail description of Polanyi’s ideas. His concepts of “moral inversion” and the dynamo-objective coupling” explain the inherent nihilism of post-Enlightenment society. Human nature and social coherence are based on a striving for transcendence. Attempting to replace the role of God with the meliorist dictates of a ruling class produces a society with no grounding, no center.

    Such a society, one with no absolutes, is a society up for grabs. Rich WASPS and a society still grounded in Christianity brought about the greatness of America. Rich Jews and with their culture of critique, based on permanent cultural revolution and an all-out war against Christianity have produced the present America. They exploited the cracks in the basis of society.

    But most people in agreement with the chaos and nihilism of present American society are not Jews. It’s essential to realize this. The revolutionaries are driven by intense but repressed moral strivings. Just like Communists. Polanyi explains this.

    Briefly – the Parthenon is a temple, built in Athens, Greece. It was constructed entirely, completely out of marble – it is almost as tall as a five-story building, and its floor is almost two hundred feet long and over one hundred feet wide. Two architects worked on it. Obviously it required knowledge of both architecture and mathematics. It was built in the Fifth Century B.C.

    Fast forward to AD 1301 (it could be even later; the example still works). We are no longer in Greece; we are in sub-Saharan Africa. We are not in north Africa (the continent, as everyone knows, is immense), but s-S Africa. What do s-S Africans not possess? They do not have a calendar; they do not have a written language or script writing; they do not have mathematics (as opposed to simple arithmetic), there are no cultivated food plants, no domesticated animals, no irrigation systems, no roads linking villages, nothing constructed out of brick or stone…the list continues. All peoples and all cultures cannot create equally. They cannot. But my fellow Whites do not – cannot – believe that fact.

    Laurent guyenot has some very interesting remarks about the relationship between Jews and Anglo Protestants in his book “from Yahweh to Zion”. They share a very similar mindset because they both emphasize the same scripture, the OLD testament. It’s really not a coincidence that British Israelism, the idea that the Anglo Brit’s are descendants of the ancient Israelites, was a thing, and that it had NO equivalent among other, non Protestant European nations. He also gets into usury, and how, unlike the Catholic Church which forbade it, the Protestants, like the Jews, made extensive use of it. Infact the very idea of Zionism itself was initially an Anglo Protestant invention that preceded Jewish Zionism by a few centuries. Anglo Protestant millinerian expectations around the year 1666 influenced the false Jewish messianic claims of Sabahia zvei, whose family had business relations with English merchants at the port of Salonica. Definitely worth a read!

    From Lowland Scotland with a population of less than 2 millions, the Scottish Enlightenment produced a version of Enlightenment ideas that was perhaps the most grounded in a realist mindset and a version that was strongly scientific.

    Sharing the humanist and rational outlook of the Western Enlightenment of the same time period, the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment asserted the importance of human reason combined with a rejection of any authority that could not be justified by reason. In Scotland, the Enlightenment was characterised by a thoroughgoing empiricism and practicality where the chief values were improvement, virtue, and practical benefit for the individual and society as a whole.

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

    The “intellectual” role of Jews over the last 150 years has to pervert empiricism and the realist mindset, using Talmudic-like argumentation and whole-cloth lies to do so. First, sociology/anthropology were severed from empiricism, then theories of governance were perverted into forms divorced from reality, and more recently climatology and human biodiversity have been intellectually wrecked and censored in service of Jewish political goals. The only Jewish contributions to empirical science that have been honestly carried out are in physics and medicine, both of which are resistant to Talmudic methods due to the transparency of their processes. So one might say that Jewish thinkers have dismantled as much of Enlightenment empiricism as they could. A functional society must be based on empirical knowledge and must have a large fraction of its members fully committed to the reality of human nature. Jews are enemies of these requirements. Their magical thinking has even turned their own state of Israel into a disaster.

  67. Paul Craig Roberts is a confused intellectual.

    The province of morality is religion, though I prefer to say: spirituality. Which neither contradicts nor conflicts with science. Spirituality and science are both essential to human progress and both can and should exist harmoniously side by side.

    Yet, we live in a historical moment when many, perhaps most people believe that religion has been discredited and is out of fashion. Science has triumphed because of its predictive power to measure and manipulate our material world.

    Yet, this kind of thinking seriously misunderstands 1. the natural function of religion and 2. the nature of the real world in which we live.

    The fact is that we humans are actually very limited in our capacity to apprehend and manipulate reality. The physical world is but a tiny fraction of the total milieu in which we live. The sum total of reality is far vaster than what we can perceive with our senses. Most of reality exists beyond human awareness; and this includes the spiritual realms.

    Most of reality also lies beyond what our scientific instruments can measure. Nor can it easily be described in words or language. Yet, today, globalists, trans-humanists, atheists, freemasons and (apparently) Zionists mistakenly believe that we humans no longer need God because we are on the threshold of becoming gods ourselves.

    This wrong-headed line of thinking is responsible for the collapse of moral values in our world and most of the societal problems we face. It certainly explains the social disintegration we see unfolding all around us in every western society. The fact that so many people question the importance or relevance of religion shows we live in a time of deep spiritual crisis.

    This sorry state of affairs did not just happen by chance. Early in the 18th century powerful interests and secret societies set out to destroy both the European monarchies and the Catholic Church. The fact they have largely succeeded in no way diminishes the importance of religion and spirituality. On the contrary, if anything it it high-lights their essential role, one that will have to be re-discovered if humanity is to recover and fulfill our destiny.

And the Great Reset itself is merely a front for the Judeo-Satanists’ plan for the One World Talmudic dictatorship which the GR will shortly usher in. Every significant government in the world has been “penetrated” (Schwab) and all are on board – Russia being no exception. The unpleasantness in Ukraine is just a convenient way to kill off lots of Christian Slavs while Russia and Ukraine are flooded with migrants, like everywhere else. Trump 2.0 represents a short hiatus, probably just until he has destroyed Iran and maybe started to dismantle the Constitution. The Dem totalitarians will then be returned to power.

    Chews just cannot help themselves. They are the ultimate in dick-spitting idiocy because even the dumb NPC’s are starting to get pissed at this smelly cohort of liars, manipulators, professional victims and arse-bandits.

    There should be a legitimate knowledge test to pass before being allowed to vote. Also, if you don’t pay income taxes, you should not be allowed to have a say in who runs the government.

    But more importantly, there should be some test for integrity given to those who would run for elected office. Right now the main qualification for higher office is a willingness to accept bribes and betray your country for venal personal gain.

    The philosophy of rationalism has misunderstood the nature of man, the nature of the social world, and the nature of reason itself. It does not see that man’s nature has three dimensions: biological, rational, and spiritual. By neglecting the biological impulses and spiritual aspirations of man, it misconstrues the function reason fulfills within the whole of human existence; it distorts the problem of ethics, especially in the political field; and it perverts the natural sciences into an instrument of social salvation for which neither their own nature nor the nature of the social world fits them.

    Hans J. Morgenthau, Scientific Man Versus Power Politics

  83. The US became the most powerful country in the world after WWI and WWII (tightly linked to the loss of young men along with structural destruction), and struggled between being the global moral imperium or following the ancient Athenians demands to the Melians: “since you know as well as we do that, when these matters are discussed by practical people, the standard of justice depends on the equality of power to compel and that in fact the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept what they have to accept.” The Melians counter-argument was only that destroying a weak non-threatening nation would expose the Athenians for being a greedy, immoral unjust Empire among the rest of the Greek States (it did, but the Melians males were slaughtered and the females and children taken as slaves.)

    The US eventually decided that they could do as they like, unconstrained by right and wrong. Torture and genocide are now accepted as American practices.

    Jews in general still have an admixture of moral and power (like most people). It is Israel which through its partnership with the US, has exposed the West for what it had always been. Indeed, the Zionists have taken “might is right” to a new level, well beyond “realism”, and American politicians are marching in lock step. Israel has proven that the People don’t matter; control the leaders (AIPAC funding mostly) and you control the nation (the basis for US Puppet leaders after every CIA coup, America’s foreign policy.)

    A good example of US’s Zionist controlled leaders was vividly exposed when Scott Ritter went before Congress and explained that Iraq had no weapons of destruction, as he and his group the experts had been on site investigating and found nothing. Joe Biden of course derided “Scotty Boy” saying we the leaders make the decisions, not the experts, and you are talking “above your pay grade”. “That is why we ride in the limousines and you don’t.” Israel and Biden got their illegal war because they had the power to do so.

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Denunciation is based upon something. It doesn’t materialize out of the ether. It is based on belief, on morals. Racism, for example, is bad, is denounceable, because ‘all men are created equal.’

    Two corollaries:

    1) Denunciation can become a habit, minimizing its moral basis. Moral zeros can adopt denunciation as a habitual manner of demonstrating their worth, their ‘goodness.’ ‘Virtue signalling’ we call it.

    2) The belief, the moral nimbus prompting denunciation, can be invalid, untrue. All men, for example, are not created equal.

    Was, as Mr. Roberts asserts, the enlightment responsible for the destruction of American education? Was the Frankfurt school merely foam on the wave of change? Who knows? Who cares?

    With questions like these we enter the world of Spengler. Where will that take us? Will we end like him, exhausted, listening for hours on end to scratchy 78s of Beethoven symphonies?

    The enlightment turned Western man away from religion. It sounded great. Liberté, fraternité, egalité! But it ‘freed’ Western man into a void. It rendered denunciation an exercise in futility. it rendered everything an exercise in futility.

    Traditional jewish belief conceived of the afterlife, insofar as there was an afterlife, as a shadowy existence in a perpetual twilight the jews referred to as Sheol. ‘Sheol’ is usually translated, poorly, as ‘hell.’

    That’s where the enlightment left us.

  89. @Not fred

    Fred here hits the nail on the head. As Mark H. Gaffney said above “Paul Craig Roberts is a confused intellectual”, because he is historically illiterate.

    Giraldi’s post is directionally correct but everything underneath it is wrong. The Jews are The Problem.

    Giraldi writes: “…societies did not have the notion of transforming society and achieving social perfection.” Correct! The ancient Greeks and Romans were NOT idealist. There was no Idealism in Classical Antiquity and Idealism is NOT European, originally. —-Idealism come from Luria!!! (1534–1572) This “Tikkun Olam”–It is materialist–fixing the world–which is Gnosticism; Tikkun Olam is the foundation of Idealism! The Jews are natural Gnostics. It is they who spread this cancer in Europe. Notice that is BEFORE the Enlightenment.

    The Revolution started in the Renaissance! The Renaissance fueled the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment fueled the American and French Revolutions. And these TWO Revolutions ENDED Western Civilization; these two revolutions instituted Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevism. The Renaissance and the Enlightenment were COLOR Revolutions! Cultural Revolutions.

    Machiavelli is the author of Revolution by promoting the idea of Revolution thru language by keeping words but using different definitions. Lorenzo Valla redefined what a republic is.

    The Jews instigated the Protestant Reformation:
    Newman, Israel (1925) Jewish Influence on Christian Reform Movements. Columbia University Press; NY.

    Protestants were readers of the Kabbala–like the Puritans–who set up America and its culture; the foundation of Yankeeism, Americanism. https://thereversion.co/p/kabbalah-and-the-protestant-revolution

    Then, you have Jewish Influence in politics:

    [MORE]

    [QUOTE]”Eric Nelson’s The Hebrew Republic argues that it was Judaism—or, more precisely, interest in rabbinic texts like the Talmud and Midrash—that prompted 17th-century thinkers like Hugo Grotius, Thomas Hobbes, and John Milton to argue for a more representative government defined by its commitment to fairness and minority rights. The spread of Christian Hebraism, from Leiden, Leipzig, Basel, and Tübingen to Oxford and Cambridge, spawned a wave of “republican exclusivism,” a belief that republican government was not one of several morally defensible forms of government but the only morally defensible form of government and the only political organization that comported with God’s will.” [END QUOTE]

    The full title of Nelson’s book is The Hebrew Republic: Jewish Sources and the Transformation of European Political Thought.

    Yes, Cromwell and the Levelers, Puritans, Diggers, Fifth Monarchy Men, Presbyterians, Dissenters, Ranters, all took lessons from rabbis. Nelson points out that the Rabbis taught these people that “Monarchy is idolatry”–that comes from the Mishnah. These people were proud to call themselves “Talmudic Commonwealthsmen”!

    THAT is the basis of the American Revolution!!!! The American Revolution was a continuation of the English Civil Wars, of the Glorious Revolution. (The AmRev was first called The Presbyterian War.)

    The progenitor but also the premier scholar of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah, Professor Gershom Scholem notes that Jewish Messianism fueled the chialistic and revolutionary messianism in the Taborites, Anabaptists and the radical wing of the Puritans, heretical Christian sects active in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries; these movements were the basis of the many political revolutions overthrowing Christendom, of Throne and Altar.

    Scholem, Gershom (1971 {Eng. Edition}) “Toward an Understanding of Jewish Messianism”. The Messianic Idea in Judaism and other Essays on Jewish Spirituality. PDF from http://academia.edu. Schoken Books: NY. (pgs 15-16) “This Messianic activism, incidentally, lies on that peculiar double line of mutual influence between Judaism and Christianity which goes hand in hand with inner tendencies of development in both religions. The political and chiliastic Messianism of important religious movements within Christianity often appears as a reflection of what is really Jewish Messianism.”

    [QUOTE]”Jewish scholars from southern Europe and Palestine saw in Luther a reformer who was determined to restore religious truth and justice, and the fact that the reformers were committed to the study of Hebrew made them confident. It was hoped that the Reformation would lead to a liquefaction of the rigid form of Christianity and thus ultimately to its dissolution, and that the persecutors would return to Judaism. A Sephardic historian and doctor openly sympathized with the Reformation movement because he saw it as the preparation for general religious tolerance. As a representative of the Jewish minority, he identified with the persecuted Waldensians in Provence. For him, the bravery and suffering of these reform-minded believers represented a story of “heroic martyrdom.” [END QUOTE]

    You see that “Tolerance”???? —- That is Liberalism, i.e. Gnosticism! That Particularity doesn’t matter. To get rid of “rigidness”—that is Liberalism–that is Gnosticism!

    All of these groups, the Taborites, Hussites, Puritans, Anabaptists were pure Gnostics; they hated the traditional order of European societies–that of Throne and Altar, of caste. Nature produces hierarchy–and Gnostics grate against hierarchy. Leftism is just another word for Gnosticism. Gnosticism and Leftism are ONE-and-the-SAME.

    Taborites, Hussites, Puritans, Anabaptists were ALL Communists!!!! Communism is in both the Book of Acts and in Gal. 3:28. And the source of that is the Jewish community, the Jewish church in Jerusalem!!! The New Testament proves the foundation of Communism in Jewish character.

    Then, Michael Hoffman’s book, The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome. All the famous people of that period had Jewish Mentors. Giovanni Pico Mirandola was a Christian Kabbalist. Erasmus was a Kabbalist. All sorts of people were Kabbalists. The Medici family that produced four popes had a Jewish mentor teaching them Kabbala!

    Why do you think St. Thomas More write Utopia–because he was influenced by Kabbala! Look at St. Joachim of Fiore (c. 1135 – 30 March 1202), pure idealism–I detect Jewish influence in him.

    Look, the Bogomils, pure Gnostics, had a huge influence in Northern Italy before the Renaissance. Then, you have the Cathars. The whole region of Languedoc was a Gnostic enclave of Cathars and Jews.

    The Renaissance was not only about the resurgence of Classical texts but also the resurgence of Atheism and the introduction into the mainstream of the Kabbala with its Jewish Messianism that created Humanism (Liberalism) and the Hermetic Tradition which is pure Gnosticism.

    Madame Francis Yates goes into a deeper dive into the influence of the Hermetic tradition:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Yates

    Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (1964)
    The Art of Memory (1966)
    The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1972)
    Shakespeare’s Last Plays: A New Approach (1975)
    The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age (1979)
    Lull and Bruno (1982) Collected Essays I
    Renaissance and Reform : The Italian Contribution (1983) Collected Essays II
    Ideas and Ideals in the North European Renaissance (1984) Collected Essays III

    The Renaissance, with its Atheism, Kabbala, and the Hermetic Tradition–created Liberalism which is none other than Gnosticism. As Eric Voegelin so succinctly points out, “All of Modernity is Gnostic”. The Whole of the Modern Age is Gnostic. We live in a Gnostic soup. Of Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevism.

    To understand what Gnosticism is, here is a 4 part series created by Prof. Thomas Bertonneau on Gnosticism:

    Gnosticism from a Non-Voegelinian Perspective, Part I

    Gnosticism from a Non-Voegelinian Perspective, Part IV (Revisiting Voegelin)
    https://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4466

    The Revolution in Religion by Protestantism, led to Political Revolution. Along with the Italian idealists who redefined what a republic is. The Jews are natural Gnostics.

    THAT is the cause of our troubles. The Frankfurt School is just the icing of the cake to further the destruction of the European races; the Frankfurt School was in the line of Jacques Derrida and his Deconstructionism which is nothing more than Jewish Iconoclasm. This “Critical Theory” — is nothing more than Jewish Iconoclasm. The Frankfurt School is about Judaizing America and bringing up minorities to be their proxy cultural and political warriors in taking out the WASP here in America.

    The problem is Rebellion. Rebellion against Christ, against Logos. Everyone is born to some degree as a Gnostic. The Greeks and Romans were immersed in Nature and therefore naturally acclimated to Logos. The Jews are natural gnostics from the beginning—it is their character and they spread their rebellion into Europe and European weenies picked it up.

    After reading this latest long winded gust of hot air from PCR, I found myself wondering if he joined up with Jared Taylor and they collaborated on it’s composition.

    It strongly reminded me of a lot of what Jared Taylor has been writing and saying over the last 30 years – wherein, he will grudgingly concede a few basic (and impossible to deny or discount with the hard facts known to now millions of pro-Whites and JQ red pilled individuals) realities that jews have played a role in this agenda to destroy the White Western nations – but, Jared then quickly shifts the primary blame over onto Whites and tries to insist that Whites did this to themselves.

    The former blogger and podcaster known as Tanstaafl (who has sadly disappeared from the pro-White podcast community for the last several years) has described the Jared Taylor agenda to shift the blame away from the jews and onto Whites as “The Suicide Meme”. This article by PCR indicates that he has decided to team up with Jared Taylor and also push this ‘Suicide Meme’.

    This is probably why Ron Unz gave PCR’s article the top spot on the website today.

    Which, in both cases of Taylor and PCR, is an effort to run cover for the jews and to misdirect the anger and wrath of the White victims of this war of racial replacement, to be followed by the same kind of racial genocide that we are seeing Israel inflict upon the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

    I am not denying that there have been a preponderance of White political leaders who have collaborated with the jews as they have waged their genocidal war against White America and every other historic White European nation – but, that does not in any way prove that the entire population of Whites in these nations agreed with their own destruction and racial replacement.

    In fact, as we see now with every leading pro-White, Nationalist-populist political leader in Europe being subjected to lawfare and fabricated criminal charges meant to prevent them from running for office and to prevent them from taking power – despite the fact that they have enormous support from the White voters in their nations – this proves that there is a hidden hand behind these panicked efforts to prevent Whites from taking back their nations.

    That hidden hand is jewish. Let Professor Kevin MacDonald bring us up to speed on the identity of who is destroying America, using demographic warfare to achieve the destruction of White Western Civilization:

    Russia is getting more oppressive every day….
    And no, Elton John, fighting for the rights of an oppressed minority, is not Jewish, only his significant other is, who represents the doubly oppressed…

    The Office of the Russian Prosecutor General has designated the Elton John AIDS Foundation “undesirable” in the country, alleging its involvement in harmful propaganda campaigns.

    In a statement released on Thursday, the agency accused the charity, founded by the British pop star in the early 1990s, of “using humanitarian projects as a cover” for supporting Western economic pressure against Russia. It further asserted that the foundation’s core pro-LGBTQ initiatives threaten traditional family values.

    The Elton John AIDS Foundation operates as a dual entity registered in the UK and US. Its multimillion-dollar budget is primarily sourced from donations by Western billionaires and entertainment industry groups such as AEG Presents. Its stated mission focuses on providing support to individuals living with AIDS and promoting tolerance for sexual minorities.

    John, 78, an openly gay, globally renowned songwriter and performer, was knighted in 1998 for his musical achievements and philanthropic efforts. The Russian statement claimed he “plays along” with the agenda of imposing Western culture on other nations.

    The designation as “undesirable” prohibits the organization from functioning in Russia, providing for legal consequences for local residents and firms engaging in financial interactions with it. The Justice Ministry maintains a list of over 200 such groups, including prominent Western influence operations such as George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, US think tank the German Marshall Fund, and the pro-NATO Atlantic Council.

    In its 2023 annual report, the Elton John AIDS Foundation mentioned grant distributions within Russia but did not provide specifics. That same year, Russia classified the “international LGBT movement” as an extremist group for allegedly fostering “social and religious discord” within the country.

    An interesting article.

    Before the Enlightenment, societies did hot have the notion of transforming society and achieving social perfection. So the problem did not arise. But with moral demands being placed on society, how could post-Enlightenment morality be expressed?

    His answer is in the DENUNCIATION of the present world.

    Same as any religion establishes itself. Take power by denouncing the existing system and claiming a higher moral ground. Then having gained power, use it to destroy the past.

    The answer is by denunciation of existing society and institutions. Morality was expressed by denouncing existing society for its immorality. The liberal reforms all relied on denunciation–slavery, racism, colonialism, exploitation, discrimination, class-based privileges, child labor, restricted franchise, the list goes on. The way society moved forward was not through affirmation of its successes but denunciation of its faults. Over time a denunciatory mind-set emerged. It affected the ways literature, history, politics, anthropology, law, and sociology were taught, and in our days brands math and science as “tools of white supremacy.”

    Thanks to PCR and yourself for the references to Polanyi’s thought, I see “Beyond Nihilism” can be borrowed from the Internet Archive.

    Secular morality is of course an oxymoron and Polanyi’s insight is extremely interesting. Popper & Isaiah Berlin among others have amply demonstrated the evil intrinsic to the thought of Hegel and Marx and yet the devotees of various forms of secular morality persist. Why? Because with God dead TINA. The cataclysm awaiting us at the true end of the Enlightenment is an epistemological crisis of Biblical proportions; the realization that without God we are truly Beyond Good and Evil – the concepts simply have no meaning. But just because we can no longer name or recognize evil does not mean evil has been defeated – quite the reverse. For me the epistemological crisis is exemplified by the demon Yuval Harari. At a WEF seminar a few years back he declared that our technological future is so bright 90% of us will simply be redundant. Thus the Enlightenment project to improve the lot of mankind through scientific achievement has been completely inverted.

    LaRouche would probably have argued that moral secularist ideas persist because TPTB ensure academic institutions and the credentialing system are ‘loaded’ such that competing ideas are squeezed out. The inconsistencies PCR refers to in this post’s title are deliberate sabotage. If we are ever to reinstate a correct conception of morality and save ourselves from the “Venetian” idea-poisoners, much of the Western canon will need to be rethought – at least as far back as Aristotle.

All that was ignored and even now learned men like Paul Craig Roberts still do not see them for what they are. Unfortunately only a small number do. The best most people seem to be able to do is acknowledge the evil things they generate while refusing to attribute the evil to them. Frustrating to watch as they promote ideas like sex change operations for children, which most view as evil, but no one links the evil to Satan and his children, the Jews.

    Congrats from Europe to Paul Craig for his precious analysis.

    Craig writes: “Ideas do have consequences, many of which are unintended and unrecognized. As ideas unfold, they affect how we think and act. It is ideas and their consequences that determine history, not conspiracies. Indeed, conspiracies themselves are the consequences of ideas”.

    Well, that is pure, authentic George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) who thought that “History teaches us that humanity learns nothing from History”.

    We can add also the fascist philosopher Giovanni Gentile (1875-1943):”Every historical interpretation or reinterpretation has very little to do with the historical facts interpreted or reinterpreted, and almost only with the ideologies and interests dominant in the era in which the interpretation o reinterpretation is carried out “

    “Therefore every history is contemporary history”.

    Craig writes: “The conclusion is that the danger we face–all of Western civilization including Russia–is unknown and unrecognized by us and, thereby, has us by the throat as it destroys our belief system”.

    Well, in accordance with Martin Heidegger (1889-1975), we are living the first stage of the planetary dominance of Technology and of the technical thinking.

    Technique or Technology – in the long journey from the knife carved from a rock by primitive Man to the Internet – is a Destiny of Being and a Destiny of Man’s being-in-the-world.
    Have we really chosen it? Are we able to think it? Or is it asserting itself independently of our thinking, because we cannot even think it?

    Boiling the Frog, in 32 you’re blaming Nietzsche for the essential character of the human mind and civilization. Anytime you have a postulate – parallel lines never meet, axiom of choice, Skydaddy told me to do this – somebody’s gonna drop it and see what happens.

    In the latter case what happens is, you wind up with a pragmatic basis for ethics. Rights result from recourse to rebellion. We see that all the time as a check on criminality, up to and including grave state crime. What we don’t see is Jahweh smiting genocide Jews, even when they’re begging for it.

    Funny how, when you graph out influence in philosophy Kant is the universal source and sink. He synthesized it all and everyone who followed invoked him. But you don’t hear much at all about Perpetual Peace. How come?

    Several months ago a commenter wrote that Jefferson included the equality phrase in the Declaration only at the insistence of Franklin.

  121. May I suggest grasping Marx’s comment on this subject that addresses the fundamentals involved:

    This ‘estrangement’ [alientation] (to use a term that will be comprehensible to the philosophers) can, of course, only be abolished given two practical [i.o.] premises. For it to become an intolerable power, i.e. a power against which men make revolution, it must necessarily have rendered a great mass of humanity ‘propertyless,’ and produced at the same time, the conditions of an existing world of wealth and culture, both of which conditions presuppose a great increase (e.a.) in productive power, a high degree of its development. And, on the other hand, this development of productive forces (which itself implies the actual the actual empirical existence of men in their world-historical, (e.o.)m instead of local being) is absolutely necessary as a practical premise: firstly for the reason that without it only want (i.o.)is made general, and with want the struggle for necessities and all the filthy business would necessarilyn be reproduced; and secondly, because only with thismunversal development of productive forces is a universal intercourse between men established, which produces in all nations simultaneously the phenomenon of the “propertyless” mass (universal competition), makes each nation dependent on the revolutions of others, and finally has put world-histeorical, empirical universal individuals in place of local ones.. Without this, (1) cOMMUNISM COULD ONLY EXIST AS A LOCAL EVENT; (2) tHE FORCES OF INTERCXOURSE THEMSELVES COULD NOT HAVE DEVELOPED AS UNIVERSAL, HENCE INTOLERABLKE POWERS; TEHEY WOULD HAVCE REMAINED HOME-BRED SUPERSTITIOUS conditions ; and (3) Each extension of intercourse would aboliish local communism. Empirically, communism is only possible as an act of the dominant peoples ‘all at once’ or simultaneously, which presupposes the universal development of of productive forces and the world intercourse bound up with them” (Karl Marx and Frederi ck Engels., The German Ideology, cited in Erich Fromm, Marx’s Concept of Man (New York: Frederick Ungar Pub. Co., 1961 eighth printing 1966), p. 208f.

    OK, Robert’s thesis seems to be about right, in that the “flaws in the Enlightenment” were used to destroy it.

    However, I disagree about the nature of the Enlightenment and the nature of the flaws.

    1) Nature of the Enlightenment.
    Right now, the West (and probably the world outside of sub-Saharan Africa) is on the verge of of a thorough reorganization. Such reorganizations have, historically, taken place when a system becomes unworkable. For example, the US Civil War had to do with the US Southeast blocking US expansion Westward after the Mexican-American War. This blocked US administration of California and settlement of the US Midwest farmland. The result was transformation of the US from a coalition of independent States to a Federal republic that extended to Hawaii and for a time to the Philippines and Puerto Rico.

    The Enlightenment was the result of a far more thorough reorganization. It was not born “fully adult and armed” like Athena from the brow of Zeus (in Classical Greek mythology), but rather developed in stages.

    [MORE]

    A) BACKGROUND — the end of Christendom
    The 80 Years War and 30 Years War showed that no Empire could dominate Europe. Spanish, Hapsburg, French — all exhausted themselves in trying to dominate Europe. In the final stages of the war, France and the Hapsburg tried to win through attrition, and not only exhausted themselves, but killed a half to a quarter the population of Germany and were so weak that Sweden, under the leadership of a military genius with new tactics and equipment, defeated both of French and Hapsburg forces before the genius was killed on a foggy morning by “friendly fire” (which wasn’t very friendly).
    Additionally, the 80 years war against the Netherlands dragged on, with nobody able to defeat the Dutch defense of forcing invading armies to cross flooded land and thus be kept away from Dutch ports, and defeating hostile fleets that tried to attack the Dutch ports.
    Those two stalemates (30 and 80 years War) ended the conflict. Everybody was exhausted or dead, but combatant nations potentially could have partially recovered and kept fighting. There were still un-looted parts of Germany to fuel most logistics demands of the large tercios (tactical units), and the Dutch were having financial problems.

    Side Note: The modern world is apparently due for a similar conflict, unless Trump manages an orderly withdrawal to the Northern American continent (plus Greenland). Trump is attempting to give up what he can’t hold without a ruinous war of attrition and what became a parasitic Empire and a profitless rest of the world. The US might or might not ally with Australia, under AUKUS treaty, or the UK should they have a revolution there, but that is about it. I suspect that Puerto Rico will be abandoned, and Hawaii may be abandoned. That change, should it occur, would be about the change embodied in the Treaty of Westphalia. (AD 1648)

    Instead of a pause followed by another round of fighting, the Treaty of Westphalia ended the fighting. It did so by side-stepping the ostensible reasons for the wars.

    European organization had been, during the Middle Ages, based on the Catholic Church, which served as an intermediary between conquered peasants (former Roman Citizens) and the conquering nobility (former barbarians). Christendom was weak, but eventually mounted the Crusades as a marginally effective counter to persistent Islamic invasions (last Islamic invasions was against Austria, AD 1683 (37 years after Treaty of Westphalia) and almost took Vienna).

    The Treaty of Westphalia replaced Christendom with the concept of the State as it was known before AD 1914. It recognized the Reformation, denied the legislation and custom that had generated endless legal pretexts for war (much like our “lawfare”), and produced the “atomic state”, in which “atomic” comes from the Latin and means “uncuttable” State the determines its own laws and its own religion if and only if it can maintain order within its boundaries and fend off attackers. Canon law was made strictly subordinate to the State’s civil laws.

    B) Development of the Enlightenment.
    Treaty of Westphalia did not establish the Enlightenment, although it did split Europe into the equivalent of the Classical Greek city-states, which served as so many political and philosophical independent experiments and gave some results still used today (systematic geometry, for example). The “atomic States” found themselves with small forces (as compared to tercios) and restricted to marginal border scraps by professional forces, which were sideshows compared to economic competition, hence legal and eventually philosophical competition.

    C) Philosophically, Hobbes
    1) “Bellum omnium contra omnes” noted the above state of universal competition and pointed out that anarchy was not better than no government at all, or even a tyranny. Given “atomic government”, Hobbes was obviously correct.
    2) Locke pointed out that, even under a tyranny, a country whose citizens were productive would have a higher standard of living than a country whose citizens were almost all robbers and thieves (I won’t give examples here of such countries). Locke then suggested that a nation of productive people did not really need a tyranny, but could form their own government for the purposes of common wealth (called a “commonwealth”, rather unimaginatively). Commonwealths would imitate each other to become more prosperous.

    3) And that was the Enlightenment — no universal State, rather a collection of “atomic” states in economic competition with the most productive systems being imitated by the others.

    D) What went wrong:
    1) Philosophically
    The Enlightenment was primarily a political statement. Given the “atomic” State with small Royal armies, Europe could build on the institution of respectable “trading organizations” whose taxes were the economic foundation of Royal armed forces. Strictly speaking, the “atomic” state model broke down with the re-institution of mass armies that fed themselves by looting (thus starving) the local peasants by the French (~AD 1800), roughly 150 years after Treaty of Westphalia.

    Philosophically, the Enlightenment answered none of the deep questions. It “only” stopped competition by mass armies and mass deaths. Hegel pointed out that every social organization known or recorded had thought itself ideal and moral, so the Enlightenment’s opinion of itself was far from unique and could not be accepted except as an assertion, at best a hypothesis. From the standpoint of the Christendom that it replaced, the Enlightenment was simply a trap, an inducement to mortal sin (greed and atheism, for example).

    The argument that Enlightenment produced prosperity was challenged by Napoleon, seemed to be defeated with Napoleon’s debacle, and was then demolished by WW I and WW II. The “world war era” produced casualties (death and crippling) by the tens of millions, so many casualties that today we can only estimate how many casualties there were. After the WW II era, an attempt was made in both the US and the USSR to evade more mass casualties through strict government control. By 1970, in both dominant powers (US and USSR), scientific and engineering progress was almost ended while each State maintained nuclear/missile forces capable of destroying the civilization built up since 1648.

    Unfortunately, the stagnation of science and engineering (now called “technology”) proved economically impossible over time. “Fordism” devolved to parasitic unions in parasitic “financialized” corporations — GE being the first example in the US, “State run enterprises” being the example in the USSR). This system eventually devolved into the parasitic government of the Obama DIE and ESG and, for a time, BLM programs.

    Starting in the 1960s in the US, semi-serious objections were made to the Enlightenment model on philosophical and religious grounds in both US and USSR. These objections were actually beside the point, as I’ve said above, because the Enlightenment was description of a social/political change, and was never intended to be more than a description of how to stop fighting and be prosperous. It leaves both philosophical and religious considerations alone [1.]

    Once Christianity was essentially made illegal in both US and USSR, so was lost the idea of God’s direct support of “being a good steward” and “vocation” were no longer held by individuals, which was about the only religious or philosophical justification for the Enlightenment [1]. The Enlightenment became “Father, Son, Holy Ghost, who grabs the fastest gets the most” or, possibly, “Lootin’ and scootin’, here I come!” to quote Western folk sayings and popular literature.

    E) The Present
    So that’s where we are — an Enlightenment descended EurAsa and North America that has descended into a dysfunctional kleptocracy (decayed Oligarchy) and a US government that is reduced to “save what you can” strategic policies, an EU government that is trying to serve a now deposed Obama dictatorship, and a Russian Federation (RF) that is trying to prevent WW III while preparing to accept European applications to become federates of the RF in the hope that RF can save their native population from the immigrants.

    A Confucian descended EastAsia with, apparently, a decaying bureaucracy (e.g. nobody knows China’s population (current estimates range from 1.4 billion to 0.4 billion), least of all the PRC, and nobody knows how much or how little ground water pollution there is in China). China looks like it will find itself with a free hand in much of South Asia and in coastal trade routes, but will be unable to incorporate Indonesia and Australia. The Islamic and Hindu States are highly difficult to incorporate into any other systems, are both undergoing depopulation, and are apparently on their own for the time being. Israel is in process of disintegrating.

    We have no idea how much fighting will be required to obtain a stable world system, nor do we know what that system will be. The transition will amount to different systems knocking together, and whatever system wins is the new one.

    It is many times easier to replace, rather than to constantly repair and refurbish. To save Indo-European Man, it is necessary to at first secede, secondly reclaim and redevelop strength (restore the health of the Herd), and then engage in external enemies. That has been the advantage of Russia; to be relatively isolated and to therefore develop its own culture and particular milieu.

    For those of you engineer and technical types, you will understand that some equipment constantly repaired and piece mail upgraded is a bad choice over replacement. Termite damage can be so extensive, that the point of partial replacement is more expansive than complete demolition and replacement.

    That means, as I’ve said so many times before to the dull, sonorous, and narrowly tuned crowd, secession, sequestration, separation.. Most people do not understand Nietzsche or Buddha. When there is no individual Consciousness and sufficient inner realization, no amount of external anything can compensate for that. That’s where PCR cannot see through the veil of the same game with the same pieces and components.

    As millions of Americans embraced the television medium, the potential for influencing public opinion enjoyed a massive growth spurt.

    This is an excellent rebuttal to Ron’s piece, and it is helpful in offsetting some of the jew-obessessives within the “Men of Unz”. THERE IS MORE GOING ON THAN MERELY THE JEWS. The intellectual history of the west is characterized by a break in the moral order, and this break occurred hundred of years ago.

    Yes, the Enlightenment was the peak of this break, and the establishment of secularism in the west – and the author correctly notes this. But the break occurred even before the 18th century. The Catholic Church will point to the Reformation, which represents the secular turn of Christianity. Heidegger and other phenomenologists will focus instead on scientific revolution, which elevated scientific ‘truths’ over Christian truths, geometry and abstract mathematical models over the lived experience.

    We can argue about the ‘start date’ – but the main thing is that complete jew-fixation helps enforce an ignorance of intellectual history. YES THE JEWS ARE BAD – but they are merely capitalizing on faults within western thought.

    What the author doesn’t say clearly is that our moral code has always been derived from CHRISTIANITY – and here, again, the “Men of Unz” fall far short, as so many of them abhor the only spiritual force that can save us.

    This combination of Jews and non-Jews, not necessarily “anglos,” working together to destroy the existing order, especially education, has been nicely documented going back to the ancients, through the Enlightenment, and up to 1980 by Catholic historian James Hitchcock in What is Secular Humanism. His concise analysis withstands the test of time and is available at archive dot org.

    Beginning in around 1948 the unrecognized Masonic supreme legislature operating in the open as the US Supreme Court has driven religion, meaning, of course, only Christianity, from the schools and in its place effectively legislated not just some vague secularism, but a new American state religion largely in accord with the humanist psychology developed by Fromm, Maslow, and the non-Jew Carl Rogers.

    At first their humanism sounds great with its emphasis on the individual person, but this emphasis was all about replacing the Christian concept of sin and repentance with doing your own thing and letting it all hang out, giving rise to feelings transcending learning in education that has gone so far that children are now taught they can choose their own sex and insanity such as literature and math being racist constructions to keep blacks down. Children are taught that right and wrong are relative concepts, giving us open sex, homosexuality, divorce, transgenderism, those grooming story hours in nearly all our libraries, and abortion.

    As America’s atheistic humanists put it ages ago in their magazine, The Humanist, the battle for America will be won or lost in the minds of America’s students, with the classroom being the humanists, teachers’ unions, and leftist judges’ weapon of choice. This extends to America’s teachers colleges whose leftist, anti-American agenda coupled with the illiteracy, innumeracy, and general ignorance of graduates is hilariously ridiculed in the many essays and three books by The Underground Grammarian, the late Richard Mitchell, all of whose writings are also available on the Internet.

Even if they weren’t interested in preserving the west (which most aren’t), they can’t run complex ecosystems either. (C’mon you really think the current state of greater usury is sound?)

    Now I don’t appreciate the current Republican war on free speech on behalf of the Jews. That is one issue I will blame the Jew. (Apparently Thomas Massie is the only Republican who was not entertained on Epstein’s Island.) Definitely not the enlightenment’s fault either.

    In short: When Jews were kicked out of Spain, they used their piles o gold, won on the east west routes, to hoax the western world. The west is greco roman, not judeo christian. A new ruling order was installed, and this ruling order was different than all that preceded it.

    Basically, the Jew inserted corporatocracy as the ruling order, by stealth – using his ill gotten money power. The enlightenment is downstream of this event. Corporatocracy event around 1600. Think of it like BC and AC. Before Corporatocracy, and After Corporatocracy. Enlightenment is AC.

    Corporatocracy includes banks of issue (credit at debt – which is a sin), Creditor democracy was installed, where the upper house, with its hidden creditor class, has the whip hand. (This is also a sin, as money is law, and prerogative of the sovereign king. Hidden creditors are not to be the king.) The lower house had a popular vote, and they were permanent debtors (also a sin and a hoax).

    Jew world/clown world was a murder of goyim through a sneaky back door corporatocracy system, which inverted everything that came before it. The corporate towns created permanent debtor citizens, who were ripped away from blood and soil and their sovereignty. The king was stealth ejected from hearth and kin.

    The “individualism” and “rational thinking” of the enlightenment is to make a people group easier to parasitize, as individuals are weak, where “groups” are strong. The new grouping is a corporation, with creditor jews owning the debt instruments. Permanent debt serfdom came into being in the world. The jews also rigged the stock market as they already had a criminal world spanning network, to take additional usury gains as a parasite. They had advance network info that allowed harvesting in the stock market.

    The first corporatocracy, the first banks of issue at debt, changing and inverting religion via the reformation – yes, that was Jewish funded by their piles o gold, and new banks of issue. The Jews in Amsterdam bought the first printing presses, to then spread propaganda.

    There was no king and temple anymore to counter the Jew: former way of counter narrative from Catholic church was broken.

    All you need to know is Manessaha Ben Israel’s statment: Every ploughboy in England will have a bible and know, WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK! Jews created jude0 Christianity, a pre condition skull fuk#king to enable the enlightenment. Printing propaganda screeds via the first printing presses, was another pre condition.

    (Jews were/are a criminal class of merchants and usurers, and inverted reality wherever they went, and that includes the enlightenment.)

    People are not individuals, and they do not have reason. Enlightenment is a hoax on its face. Anybody who lived through Covid mass hysteria and mass formation psychosis should know that. The corporatocracy system was already in full swing, especially having been implanted in London, by the time of the enlightenment.

    (Amsterdam’s Jews also wanted to get back to India, to restart their 3X gains on silver/gold arbitrage, hence the Dutch East Indies Corporation. The English equivalent was soon subordinated by the Glorious revolution, where the Jews won again by appealing to greed and using intrigue – especially by installing the Bank of England.)

    So, PCR is wrong. He didn’t think it through carefully. PCR is an economist, not an economic historian.

  155. PCR,

    For challenging someone like Ron who has done his homework, I recommend that you write “I don’t know that I don’t know” 1000 times or until it sinks in.

    Unlike Ron, you have ignored the key to understanding the Jewish problem which is the Talmud. Ron wrote an article about the Talmud which surely factors into his understanding of the education problem.

    I don’t think you have ever written about the Talmud. You have constructed your argument like an engineer trying to build a car without wheels. You have entered the domain of a subject that you know nothing about and have greatly weakened you credibility.

    Without some understanding of the ripple effect of the Talmud on the Jewish mindset, your shallow and totally out of context discussion of morality is nothing more than philosophical cotton candy.

    Ron sees the problem.

    “A religion based upon the principle of “Love Thy Neighbor” may or may not be workable in practice, but a religion based upon “Hate Thy Neighbor” might have long-term cultural ripple effects that extend far beyond the direct community of the deeply pious. If nearly all Jews for a thousand or two thousand years were taught to feel a seething hatred toward all non-Jews and also developed an enormous infrastructure of cultural dishonesty to mask that attitude, it is difficult to believe that such an unfortunate history has had absolutely no consequences for our present-day world, or that of the relatively recent past.”

    Gnostic currents have been throughout Europe. Gnosticism is NOT Western culture. The other problem is that the German races have a romantic streak in them that melded with Jewish Utopianism.

    The Greeks have a thought principle called “non-contradiction”; Semitic people do NOT have this instinct. Idealism thwarts Logos.

    As I refered to earlier, Newman writes that the mission of the Jews was to >>>”...purge Christianity of Hellenism“. Newman 5

    That’s the problem. All sorts of Catholics were Kabbalists in the Renaissance and Church authorities did NOT discipline Catholic Kabbalists like Richelieu.

    What destroyed Europe–was the Fire of Utopianism which is “immanentizing the eschaton” which is Gnosticism.

    The FAILURE is one of morality all right—the Failure of The Church to teach Hellenism as in II Peter 1:5 “Supplement The Faith with Arete (virtue)”. Arete IS Morality! The Church Never taught that—so Christianity and the rest of Europe slipped into the Utopianism of the Jews.

    Lycurgus commanded Arete—BEFORE Christianity!!!! So Morality did NOT come from Christianity—Christianity ADOPTED Greek Aristocratic morality called Arete–and The Church DROPPED the Ball. —– THAT is the essence of our troubles.

    Years a go I read a book entitled The Seventh Vote. While the title described a minor subplot in the book, I found it rather thought provoking.

    The idea propounded was that an individual could gain as many as seven votes for an election, beginning with the first vote upon graduating, with passing marks, from high school, and paying taxes.

    Second vote upon marriage and the birth of a child.

    Third vote for two children.

    Fourth vote for achieving a STEM degree.

    Fifth and sixth votes as decided by the electorate in a binding referendum.

    The seventh vote is earned with extraordinary service to the nation; the value of this service to be verifiable with hard numbers.

    Mr MoFo-Bill, the UR readers are well aware that you have propensity for making shit up.

    It is tedious dealing with clowns from clownworld like you. This entire thread of comments is clownish, including the authors who do not understand the difference between Industrial Capitalism and Finance Capitalism.

    At bottom link, I mention the enlightenment. All of the people in your list are enlightenment thinkers.

    And what can we say about the list above?
    That’s right – NOT A SINGLE JEW AMONG THEM.

    Adam Smith, John Locke, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Frédéric Bastiat, Lysander Spooner, Henry David Thoreau, Alexis de Tocqueville, Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Friedrich von Wieser, Joseph Schumpeter, Friedrich Hayek, Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Lew Rockwell and countless others.

    I understand that you don’t read what I say, and you are certain in your clown head of your righteousness, but again… the stupid man. Watch the previous video and say to yourself, “that is me!” I’m stupid and I represent clown world, and even when somebody sets me straight, I cannot take my medicine. When you are old, your brain becomes Myelin sheathed, and cannot learn new tricks. You will never let go of your “enlightenment” bull shit, which the “Aiparu” funded into existence.

    The big boom event of Corporatocracy in Amsterdam, the corporate towns and finance capitalism ripped the Dutch people away from blood and soil sovereignty, and attached them to their new overlords. This was the finance capital class that you defend, and so does all of the enlightenment thinkers you listed. The corporatocracy event made ALL of the men of the West into clowns, and little Jews. Or you could say they became Jewish in spirit, and that includes you as a shabbos goy in good standing.

    OK, think on this carefully with your pea brain and clown nose. The Dutch became corporate citizens, in a corporate town, and no longer were subordinated to the King or their fellows. Behind the corporate town were Jewish creditors who created the situation with their new freedumb of religion and their piles of gold won at usury over thousands of years. The new banks of issue were called Wessel banks (sp?) and you can see echoes of their existence in the tulip mania, which was too much bank credit/time. The jews in short order, used their new finance capital system (Banks of Issue backed by their gold at usury), to start the 80 years war against Spain.

    Pay attention now pea brain. This became the new operating system for man, especially western man. It was rule by hidden prices/bank of issue credit at hypothecation/corporations. To solidify their hidden rule, the new creditor class gave the new debt slaves the vote. With the new creditor parliamentary democracy, the upper house of lords always held the whip hand. This form of democracy is hidden rule by creditors, and has nothing to do with Greece, but instead at inception is Jewish. Sorry if real history is butt-hurting and anti-semitic.

    This event created the first permanent creditor/debtor relationship in the history of man. The closest thing to alchemy is a permanent ‘sucking” upward of life energy from debtors in the form of debt slavery. The sons of the Aiparu, now the Jews, while in Amsterdam, perfected this corporatocracy system, and that then including hoaxing with a new religion (JudeoChristianity) and using their printing presses to create fake narratives.

    Remember, the Jewish leadership, especially Manessah Ben Israel, was printing Athias Bibles on 8 of the 10 first printing presses. Why would Jews do that? And in English language not Dutch? At the cost of then millions of dollars? Oh wait, they had all those tons of gold won at usury on the routes, and also their new invention of banks of issue, where they used to indebt the population via hypothecations.

    OK? Everything became jewed in the west around 1600, and libertarianism is especially downstream of the enlightenment. Fake religion, fake money (money is law that belongs to the sovereign), fake new sovereigns, fake narratives (now emitted by Jewish ownership of the press).

    OK? This criminal class of highwaymen, did indeed fund the enlightenment and all of the thinkers you hold so dear. I know this stuff is flying over your head, as a stupid man.

    The big bang event of corporatocracy, banks of issue at debt, judeo-christianity (which overturned debt sin or debt=sin, especially the creditor class as being the sinners.) Dethroning of Kings, dethroning of blood and soil, and turning everybody into an “individual,” so they are easier to indebt. This “individualism” that Lockeans and Lolbertarians so worship, is antithetical to mans nature as a social animal. Civilizations are societies of families, not deracinated individuals. Oh wait, libertarianism wants deracinated atomized individuals because of the enlightenment.

    The big bang event of corporatocracy, banks of issue at debt, putting people into debt slavery, and then big pools of finance capital, then created a new world order. That new order is Jewish, we became the Jew, and especially YOU! Libertarians are especially good shabbos goys, and their ideology appeals to narcissitic types. It also appeals to mid wits.

    To repeat again, for your pea brain:

    In short order, after 1492 expulsion, our criminal haibaru friends (yes- Jews), 1) Free-dumb of religion, 2) Corporate Towns 3) New type of money bank credit at debt 4)New type of religion (the reformation funded especially by Manasseh). 5) New narratives emitted by their printing presses, basically hoaxing populations via propaganda, even in languages not Dutch. 6) Then the enlightenment, funded into existence to further create a new world order of hidden finance rule.

    To sanction their new debt status, the dutch now debt slaves, were given the vote (in their corporate towns).

    From this sequence of events, it follows that the enlightenment was Jewish and further is responsible for today’s Clownworld. Clownworld is finance capital driven and controlled, but your stupid blinding libertarian ideology makes it so that normies cannot see, they have Jewish glasses put on their nose. That is you attempting to blind people as a form of evil, and you think you are doing good. What a dummy.

    The link below was before your predictable stupid reply to me. As a shabbos goy in good standing, and a stupid person, I don’t expect you to understand nuanced thinking. But, there might be somebody on this thread that does.

    Maybe even the authors, who embarrassingly don’t even know the difference between finance capitalisms and industrial capitalism might wake up, but they are old and clownish too.

    From two days ago, before your predictable ill-informed reply. But, it is not rational for me to expect you (especially you) to read what I say, and try to understand it.

    Third, by blaming a previous generation for the ills of today, you make it more difficult for those with real insight (as opposed to your lazy faux-insight) to effect actual change; you make it more difficult for our people–whether of this or any future generation–to overcome the mountains of difficulties obstructing the path to regeneration.

    The church didn’t drop the ball, it was converted and hoaxed to allow usury in stages.

    At the time of Jesus, ALL THE COGNATES IN ALL THE LANGUAGES, had sin = debt.

    Does Christianity codify that now? Nope. How is that? It was done on purpose. It started especially with Paul, who invented original sin – a concept he pulled out of his ass. Paul then made time linear, as you only get one life, and you are permanent debtors, to then pay the creditors. He also made Jesus a god and a burnt offering, both very Jewish concepts.

    The trinitarians, who were the bad guys, won. They won especially because of Constantine (not a Jew), who as Roman leader, wanted a state religion that could pay his hidden Oligarchy. Rome became an oligarchy when it adopted precious metal money after the second Punic war. Rome was indebting the periphery of its empire to pay oligarchs in the center – exactly the same behavior as the now jewed America.

    After Paul, then Constantine, there were a long list of rogue characters, who wanted the church to be a middleman, to distribute wealth from the rich to the poor sinners. Sin had been redefined. Reality had been redefined, especially including time.

    Prior to Paul, man understood time to be cyclical, not linear. You had more than one life, and your life was not to be materialist chasing after fleeting material gains. Jews are materialists and anti-logos.

    You are supposed to improve your soul. Oh wait! Goyims don’t have souls. Jewish supremacy, or rather creating debt slaves, requires the host to be an animal, in order to insert yourself as a parasite.

    Christianity, has no testicles or testosterone anymore, as its original meaning was inverted. Christianity is soy boys and female estrogen now.

    Jesus unrolled the scrolls of Isiah on the Jubilee year, to then rebalance credit and debt. He was killed by the then “creditor” Jews, who had taken over. The takeover can be marked in time, with Hillel’s prozbul clause around 100 years before Christ. This time period is consistent with debt polarization, something that Jewish creditors have since perfected and attached to the West, and who were then using “debts” to exploit their own “little Jews.”

    Interesting comment, particularly vis-a-vis the Enlightenment, corporatocracy and ‘the Jews’.

    All you need to know is Manessaha Ben Israel’s statment: Every ploughboy in England will have a bible and know, WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK! Jews created jude0 Christianity, a pre condition skull fuk#king to enable the enlightenment. Printing propaganda screeds via the first printing presses, was another pre condition.

    (Jews were/are a criminal class of merchants and usurers, and inverted reality wherever they went, and that includes the enlightenment.)

    however, this part sounds like a contradiction to me.

    While I agree how Christians are exhorted to worship an earthly Jew as their god, it also seems to me that it was the Enlightenment that freed them from that Jew-centric matrix.

    People are not individuals, and they do not have reason. Enlightenment is a hoax on its face. Anybody who lived through Covid mass hysteria and mass formation psychosis should know that.

    Good comment, 1951, but there’s nothing great about Matt Gaetz. Stupid would be more like it. Rumor was that Gaetz, just after being reelected to the House, wanted out, so Trump gave him a lifeline by nominating him for AG, a post both should have known was not achievable. After talking to a few GOP Senators, he knew he didn’t have the votes so dropped out a few days later. To top it off, he had already quit his House seat (not required unless confirmed).

    A rumor I heard was that the House was going to bring charges for unethical conduct for having sex with an underage girl (supposedly 17), charges that had been dropped by the previous House. And, since the GOP was in majority, what chances did that new accusation have of ousting him from his seat? He’d already gone thru the embarrassment. Those who had flown on Epstein’s Lolita Express were surely exposed to girls younger than that.

    I think the real reason why so many on the R-team were so hostile to Gaetz was because he got McCarthy ousted from his role as Speaker, thus putting the House in disarray. He was then replaced by Evangelical Christian Mike Johnson, who proved from the jump that his top priority was to keep funding Israel. If anything, he’s been worse than McCarthy.

    It’s a sad state of affairs that Gaetz is no longer in the House. With a tiny majority and Trump losing support in MAGA-land, an outspoken Rep. like Matt Gaetz would be a big help. At least, he’s antiwar and America-first, not Jew-first, unlike the vast majority of Congress.

  179. Brother Roberts’ essay is both very topical & illustrative. He is 100% spot on on one point: Brother Ron Unz, as brilliant as he is, has done himself & our Cause an extreme disservice, in that his essays are far too long & tedious.

    I have turned multiple folks on to The Unz Review, but they soon abandon it out of frustration because Ron’s essays are insufferable to people who don’t have the time commitment on any given day to read a 10,000 word essay.

    Regarding Brother Roberts’ larger point, as carcinogenic as the Frankfurt School & their devotees such as Herbert Marcuse & Gloria Steinem truly are/were, to embark on a JEWS, JEWS, JEWS narrative all the time, is extremely counterproductive.

    Well I suppose that’s a start, but let’s face it, if “biden” had been doing the kinds of things the fat orange bastard has done since being inaugurated the second time, we would be hearing a lot more criticism from Paul Roberts than merely referring to the biden administration as a “regime.”

    It is an important article to read, especially for MAGA-Americans who sincerely believe that Trump can both restore America while destroying the Constitution.

    Would this demographic include Paul Roberts, who supported and made excuses for the fat orange bastard’s shameless crimes and betrayals long after it was clear that he’s nothing but a psychotic, psychopathic, utterly dishonest, constitution-hating, war-mongering, jew-supremacist-controlled moron?

    No one here understand that word ‘Jews’ was invented in 18th century, so neverending blabs about Jews killing Christ are total crap. At Christ times there were no ‘Jews’, there were Iewes and 2000 km north direction were Khazaria, where 800 years later happened mass conversion to Judaism

    Aiparu, means minor merchant in Egyptian. The Pharisee class at the time of Jesus, had their own debtors, who they were milking.

    The Aiparu were also donkey “caravanners” on the east west routes. There are donkey caravanner bones interred outside of Sumer.

    The axial bronze age, around 500 BC, the Aiparu had come to control the routes as highwaymen, and were taking arbitrage…. the 3X gain on silver/gold. This arbitrage was taken in a specific location, the crossing at the Bosporus, where Constantine located his new city. Constantine was interdicting the Aiparu.

    The Aiparu, became the Haibaru. The Haibaru became the Hebrew. They were now an international criminal syndicate, with their own language, ethnos, and crime economic type. The Hebrews during the Levantine times when Greece was ascendant, inserted themselves into entrepot cities ringing the Mediterranean. This was to launder goods and engage in white slavery using ships, and not overland. If you wanted to do sophisticated crime, then the MBA merchant criminal class, with their own language, would be of help…. at a price of course.

    The Haibaru/Hebrew became the Jew. The exact cognates from Hebrew to Jew may be as you say, but they are essentially the descendants of the Aiparu, a criminal merchant “international” class, with a sophisticated form of usury economy (that redound to their ingroup) established over thousands of years.

Putin’s heart is obviously in the right place, as he’s a Russian nationalist. And he’s obviously very intelligent, and he obviously has a lot more intel than any of the rest of us. And so far, albeit certain disappointments like Syria, he’s leading Russia to a general economic and national felicity, which is why ZOG hates Putin with an unhinged fanaticism.

    Nothing drives Jewish supremacists more apoplectic than an (especially) white, Christian people feeling buoyed and contented and hopeful. Which was everything the Jews did all in their power to destroy and prevent, when they weren’t slaughtering Russians outright, during their Bolshevik/Soviet genocidal enslavement of Russia and beyond.

    We certainly have not chosen it any more than we choose to evolve. In The Question Concerning Technology Heidegger posed the unanswered question as to the essential nature of technology. I have an answer for him:

    Technology is of course a human activity, but to understand its nature we must recognize what drives technological advancement. Both Heidegger and Ellul understood that we are not in control of the advance of modern technology. Sure we invent things and build ever more complex things, but what is the driving force behind this process – and can we control it?

    I see the technology humans create and use as no different, essentially, to the technologies produced by ‘natural’ evolution. Take the arm. The arm is essentially a lever. It evolved all the way from bacterial cilia because a lever gets the job of picking things up/moving them etc done better than, say, a stump. Now take the club. Once upon a time a proto human discovered that the stick with a lump at the end he happened to be holding made his buddy’s head cave in when struck (at first, by accident). Eureka! The weighted stick became a tool to cave in heads and his tribe adopted it. The first weapon of war came into being. Simultaneously, our evolutionary path was modified such that club-wielders were more ‘fit’ to survive in the nasty and brutish world.

    Nothing has essentially changed except the complexity of technology. A tribe/nation can eschew a particular technology, but woe betide them if it happens to be the one that better enables the neighboring tribe/nation to kill them off. Thus technological evolution in humans is driven by the same underlying force that drives ‘natural’ evolution in a competitive world.

    Mankind’s conquest of Nature is now so complete that we ourselves have become Heidegger’s “standing reserve”. Elon Musk will plug chips into our brains and an early use of this technology will undoubtedly be military. The apparent imminent advent of AGI will render human reason itself redundant. Technology looks set to subsume us altogether in a higher order form of being and consciousness. This being and consciousness will continue to evolve whilst competition for resources (a given in a bounded world) exists.

    Thanks for your serious reply, shrik. I wouldn’t argue with your point of view. It’s quite positive. Mine is pretty pessimstic. Here it is:

    Post-enlightenment all man’s endeavors are provisional. Are they ‘meaningful’? Do they ‘lead on’ to something? Are they ‘worth all the trouble?’

    Or are they completely futile? As Peggy Lee asked, “Is that all there is?”

    The post-enlightment man doesn’t ‘know.’

    My attitude is this: we should act as if our acts were meaningful and had purpose, in spite of not knowing that that is true. Why? I don’t know.

    You posit a moral imperative independent of religious belief. St. Paul did, too. I think that imperative can be explained as an effect, an aspect of evolution. A ‘moral’ act is an act which benefits the survival of the species.

    A few days ago one of the more interesting arguments among commenters revolved around the question, is it a duty to marry and engender and raise children? I believe there is such a duty, quite independent of religious belief or commandment.

    Despite interracial animosities there seems to be a sort of universal human ‘solidarity.’ “Let’s keep this thing going. Who knows? Maybe there’s a… happy ending?”

    The Constitution took effect in early 1789 after the first federal elections. It did not include an express protection of the right to vote, and it was left to the states to determine who was eligible to vote in elections. For the most part, state legislatures generally limited voting to white males who owned land. Some states also utilized religious tests to ensure only Christian men could vote. Gradually, state legislatures began to slightly expand voting rights to non-landowning white males.

    The enlightenment is fake and gay on its face. Only a tiny fraction of any given population has the ability to reason.

    The greek trivium system, where greek students were allowed to openly search for the truth, and then debate it, had also come to the same conclusion. That average normies cannot reason.

    These in-groups always form to then take life energy from others.. now popularized as rents.

    Thanks for your response. Blame implies moral judgement and none was intended wrt to the man who killed God. Nietzsche in fact did the very thing you describe in challenging the orthodox belief in the Skydaddy’s supposed monopoly on the moral domain – at least he was the first to do so and not be burned at the stake.

    A basis for ethics must include a call to higher authority, otherwise we are merely in the realm of law – right and wrong, not good and evil. Natural law is also in the legal realm – as an expression of the essential behaviors required to keep a functioning society together. Good and evil are necessarily theological concepts – a fact Nietzsche proved himself. Do away with God and you are beyond.., or rather before good and evil – i.e. no better than the beasts.

  196. ‘…Over time a denunciatory mind-set emerged. It affected the ways literature, history, politics, anthropology, law, and sociology were taught, and in our days brands math and science as “tools of white supremacy.”

    No, but surely Jews unhinged it, and exacerbated what had been a salutary impulse until it became self-destructive. Consider, say, Bismarckian social security measures vs. the excesses of the welfare state. Where would we be absent Jews? I would guess someplace a lot more supportable.

    The problem there is that ‘Jew’ is in itself a quite recent coinage. Sure, particulary from the King James Bible to the Holohoax, it has some meaning in English.

    On the other hand, is isn’t used in ancient classical or old writing except in English. Even in Japanese, it’s yudayakei or yudayajin, in German, Juden. So they are shapeshifters.

    Both political and cultural Marxism are forms of iconoclasm — the writings of Kevin MacDonald explore the ethnocentric motives behind the iconoclastic (i.e. destructive) activity of disapora Jews vis-a-vis racially homogenous, traditional, Christian societies of the West.

(only they refer to it as “woke” as if it’s something new because of the crazed emphasis on the Legion of sexual identities). Only the people who never lived in a Christian society (among the remnant(s) where there is a living Faith) fail to recognize the importance of Christianity in Western Civilization. It is because the younger generations today (and in some places and family circumstances, members of the older generation) have no recollection and basically little to no intuitive understanding of this heritage, that there are people foolish enough to pretend as if what has happened to Western society since the 1960s has nothing to do with the collapse of Christian practice and belief.

    The United States has thrived on the myth of its freedom, which after all cannot be justly dismissed as a mere myth. Nevertheless, it is certainly not the whole truth. The establishment of the United States involved the dispossession and expulsion of the Loyalists, the Civil War and Reconstruction, President Wilson’s tyranny in WWI. There have always been limits on “Freedom of Speech,” either direct limits based on the Community Standards of a society that did not deny its Christian heritage or traditional morality (eg the Comstock Laws), or de facto limits, the kinds set by money, access to printing presses, libraries and the and limitations set by orchestrated mob violence (which is still typical, the Antifa are state sponsored terrorists) and ostracism. (blackballing, blacklists, de-banking!) These de facto limits have always been the more important ones, and they were established by the Secret Societies. (Secret Societies which, whether you people want to believe it or not, have a grip on organized religious practice in the Western world) Why people question the role of the Secret Societies, when the intelligence agencies place everyone under surveillance, decide on the censorship and propaganda regime in the United States, and there is really no public debate on the matter more than a kind of hand-wringing about how its in place and it can’t be removed! (No general public acknowledgement that every microphone connected to the internet is recording everything in earshot.) It is apparent that the Secret Societies and later the Communists and the Woke have been working to achieve this end we are at for a very long time. To deny this is to live in a dream world of “Enlightenment heritage” – the incapacity to distinguish between the matter of fact everyday reality of technological development and the chiliastic fever dreams (“Dictatorship of the Proletariat” “perfectibilism” “rules based order of the 4th industrial Revolution”) of the Leftists and the Jews behind the Leftists

    The “ideas” discussed in our political “mainstream” and between the political parties cannot explain why the United States is so committed to what appears to be an extermination campaign in Gaza. The answer is not to be found in Enlightenment philosophy, and the notion of changing sexes is not a “Christian heresy.” It is found in the occult fanaticism of the Jews and Freemasons. As is the very concept of “the Enlightenment” as though it were fundamental break with previous civilization and not the ideological trappings of an international coup, where suddenly in 1815 there are these untouchable, ultra-powerful Rothschild banker Jews going about in public as if they were secret rulers and unafraid to be acknowledged as such.

Public schools, the exaltation of reason over tradition, liberal universities, the marginalization of religion, the denunciation of aristocracy…they were going at it full-blast long before the Frankfurt School showed up on our shores.

    Then Socialism adopted the same methods, co-opted the same agents. The progressive school marm of the Thirties became the quasi-socialist school teacher of the Seventies. Socialism swallowed liberalism, not the reverse.

    One can deny one’s disillusion or not. The former is the lot of by far the majority of men and women. The latter is consequential. Where can one turn for surcease from one’s disillusion?

    The answer is there is no surcease? The New Testament admonishes us to wake up! But how?

    This is hardly a new question is it? Although the Bible offers lots of relevant parables they are of no use to modern man. In fact they only add to his or her disillusion. Religion as practised offers no means. Rejecting religion as modern man has done leaves him or her bereft of even a foil for one to contest what appears to be inaccessible.

    Modern men and women did not choose — each of them — to reject religion. This was done intentionally. For most people religion provided communities with a strong local social cohesion undergirding their behaviour, i.e. regulating society. Church on Sunday, church suppers, rummage sales, cubs and girl guides meeting in church basements, the raising of money for charities, and etc., and provided the young with a variety of ways to involve themselves in the community. Of course they would meet their opposite counterparts with similar sensibilities and after marrying continue the traditions.

    But gradually religion began to be ridiculed. People bound by such cohesion are not easily suborned. They shopped locally for much of their needs. But this social cohesion and its bonds was seen as an impediment to controlling their behaviour.

    Gradually the emerging state and those who abet the intrusion of the state in everyday life saw to it that through various means communities could be undermined.

    Obviously the Jewish minority in the 20th Century promulgated an entirely different mind-set; a materialist and transactional mind set which has caused man to be separated from self. Material success has supplanted success granted by his or her social contribution.

    The consequences of this materialist and transactional separation is mass estrangement. There is no surcease from the implicit demands inherent in transactional arrangements. Almost everything important done at one time within each community has been financialized and bureaucratized. Of course the inherent sense of well being nurtured in communities has been destroyed.

    Life today is inherently coarse. And the consequent suffering tends to be relieved by material emoluments — entertainment spectacles, sex, drugs, booze, food, travel — all rationally justified.

    Life is denigrated, babies are aborted, children are farmed out to strangers to raise, those children are alienated, more than a few choose drugs and suicide. Today there are hundreds of social organizations staffed by experts getting paid to do what society at one time did by people volunteering.

    At one time religion while serving the community also had a response for the disillusioned. One supposes the disillusioned — pained by life’s contradictions — often had a strong moral compass.

    Within the religious organizations it was not uncommon for those with the inherent capacity to think deeply, feel deeply, and perhaps have experience of physical alienation as well, to discover a ladder upwards within the religious community where their disillusionment is seen as normal for some and where their alienation may be reconciled.

    Ideally those with the deepest questions may in fact be those who became the holders of the deepest truths.

    This is still to be found. But not easily. First one has to die to one’s old self. The pursuit of something higher is a process of creating a new self. Paradoxically the original self is present at birth. The quiet and patient non judgemental observer born of the flesh, born of a body, obviously manifest in a three or four month old, can be recaptured.

    At first alienation is painful. But discovering the sensation accompanying one’s originating impulses once again, is something which can’t be bought.

    Giving up one’s attachments and one’s identifications manifest in personality depends first of all on one being almost completely disillusioned!

    The disillusioned cannot be mad men or women or those whom are so psychologically wounded more harm than good is done.

    The search for something higher is a most difficult endeavour. Things either evolve or devolve. Nothing stays the same. It is a law.

    As you wrote above: For those of you engineer and technical types, you will understand that some equipment constantly repaired and piece mail upgraded is a bad choice over replacement. Termite damage can be so extensive, that the point of partial replacement is more expansive than complete demolition and replacement.

    This is as true for a man or a woman as for a broken machine. Better to build new. A baby is new. But of course the difficulties are the same as before — life does not require anyone’s waking up.

    So unlike your analogy taken literally the only chance the emergent being has is to take his life into his or her own hands. Waking up is not a possibility for the masses.

    The only person one can change is oneself.

    That was a right good thrashing, and one could say deserved since Roberts doesn’t allow comments on his articles, to praise question or criticize.

    Supply side economics is I suppose the mirror of demand side economics. The more you increase the supply of wealth in a rich man’s pockets the more he will invest in, what, currency speculation? Taking over political institutions via NGO’s and think tanks and campaign contributions? In foreign speculation? In moving his factories to low cost labor zones far far away?

    Roberts, along with most middle class and upper class conservatives, simply cannot conceive of society as the nexus of constant class warfare, the rich allying together against the poor, using government to be their weapon and shield. Thus after Reagan the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Roberts avoids this class analysis because he identifies with the ruling class, he’s just mad they don’t recognize his genius. If comments were allowed on his articles very quickly he’d be shown to be half charlatan, half accurate. The tribe excels in parasitical wealth accumulation techniques, that is why the other non tribal elite ALWAYS ally with them. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. The tribe’s god is GREED so naturally other worshipers of the same god join with them.

    Piss off with your “Christ and Christendom” garbage. If there is one thing we know about Christianity it is that it failed. Christianity has failed to protect Christians and Christianity. There is some fatal flaw within Christianity that leaves it inadequate as a civilizational mode.

    Rather than advocating for a return to an earlier state–a state about which the one thing that is certain is that it failed–rather look for the flaws in that earlier state and fix those.

    Here are my own submissions for what those fatal flaws were:

    1. The written “god’s word” fallacy is stupid on its face and exceedingly detrimental, precluding, as it does, all religious progress. As with so many other things, it was a destructive idea that originated with the Jews. But even those benighted people adopted the talmudic innovation of allowing evolution in their sacred magic book. But not the Christians. Oh no! Every. Single. Word. Is. The. Permanent. Unchanging. Word. Of. God. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot!

    2. The failure to recognize the proper and mutually exclusive spheres of the ways in which humans express rationality is fatal to any attempt to act in terms of the world as it really is. More simply,
    -Science governs our relationship with the physical world.
    -Art governs our relationship with humanity.
    -Religion governs our relationship with each other. (In other words, God doesn’t give a fuck who the president of the United States is.)

    Yes the paper by LaRouche so linked, “How Bertrand Russell Became An Evil Man” is extremely important in that it situates the concerted banalizing and acceptance of of evil in what does answer Mr. Roberts query relative to philosophic and world history, but one that I doubt that Mr. Roberts is willing entertain, and others, relative to the vilification of LaRouche as a simple web search might so reveal.

    A vilification because LaRouche attacked pragmatics and spoke to the issue of creativity to which an article as this Filippo Brunelleschi dome in Florance situates the genius of the Renaissance in terms of what brings the invisible into being!

Falling in line with the witch-hunting campaign directed by the Trump administration against pro-Palestinian students and academics, YLS also lied about the events leading up to and the reasons for her firing.The campaign to remove Doutaghi began on March 4 when YLS placed her on administrative leave based on information published online by Jewish Onliner, an AI generated pro-Zionist website which claimed she was a member of a terrorist organization. Throughout the ordeal, Doutaghi has maintained that her opposition to the Israeli genocide in Gaza and her pro-Palestinian views were well known at Yale when she was hired.Doutaghi’s attorney Eric Lee explained in a post on Twitter/X that, “It is not true, as Yale alleges, that Dr. Doutaghi refused to answer questions or was non-cooperative. Yale made a decision to fire her without a fair process. Another capitulation to Trump by a major university.”

    @Cry baby white man

    It really depends on what you mean by “same crimes” when saying blacks are shown to receive harsher sentences for the “same crimes.”

    Any study (in Western nations) using a large and representative sample population shows this outcome does not hold when controlling for past crimes or specific aggravating factors, such as a white man shooting his wife dead versus a black man peeling of the skin and burning to death another man’s wife. If both are charged with first degree murder and convicted, through most of our history, the latter would receive a harsher sentence (or a white would were the crime details reversed, but it is far more typical for blacks to commit unnecessarily cruel acts while reaching the same end). However, the largest factor in showing that blacks receive harsher sentences for the “same” crime is the researchers not controlling for matching based on prior criminal records.

    A black who steals a car and has a criminal record 20 pages long will receive a harsher sentence than a white who steals a car as his first offense.

    If one is being honest and not taking on the perspective of an activist, he should be able to see merely from living out in the world among different races that blacks are simply more violent AS A GROUP than are whites, just as whites are more violent AS A GROUP than East Asians.

    Most can recognize that men AS A GROUP are more violent than women. However, most do not know that when it comes to per capita murder rates, black women in the US commit murder more often than white men do (probably have higher testosterone than white men too! Lol).

    REGARDLESS of whether it has ever been the case in a mostly white society that blacks were given harsher sentences merely for being black (rather than for overall criminal behavior), the disparity is outrageously worse in a black run society for disparate treatment.

    I wholeheartedly agree that the third world, or rather, the Global South, has been and STILL IS exploited and held below where they could be, but this is mostly (though not wholly) based on systems run by Jews, which are exploitative of everyone but especially in Africa.

    I don’t say what I say here to lift up whites or hold blacks down. It is not about “supremacy,” which is really a Jewish way of looking at things. I am merely stating truth. It is largely Jewish propaganda to claim that whites want to rule over and mistreat other peoples. Most simply want the ability to live in a society inhabited and run by their own people, meaning the ability to live comfortably in the culture of their own people and have control of their own destinies. All people should have this, and to have multiple different racial groups living under one system of government requires a high level of tyranny to make work, as the system cannot accommodate being the best one for EVERY people. Instead it is the best for no one but the rulers.

    It is Jews who not only want to rule over other peoples, but they also want to subvert and destroy their societies to turn them into “defeated peoples” who have no will or ability to effectively resist.

    It is biologically healthy for any race, including both black and white ones, to prefer their own people over those of others. That does NOT by definition mean they wish to harm the outgroup others (unless they are Jews, whose preference is that “It is not enough that I succeed, but others MUST fail.).

    This is about as succinct as I have ever seen it put. Many will say your only real enemy in the modern world is your government. There is actually two.

    The government and Zionism as they are one and the same

  224. No matter what political system citizens and or their leaders venture into, inevitably the final outcome evolves into a mixture of capitalist, Marxist, socialist and some elements of small “d” social democracy. For example; The Walmart corporation. It has a unique combination of vertical and horizontal business architectures. Finished products are fetched from the widest possible selection of country governance and political systems. Product distribution is also a Walmart owned apparatus. It is second only to the US government in numbers of people it employs. However, attached to this “success” story is the fact that wages there are so low that employees qualify for financial assistance from the social safety net aka welfare programs. The Walmart underground highway system across the USA shows, that in terms of transportation, it has overtaken the need for complete reliance on our public highways. This fact alone should challenge our belief that essential services can and have been overtaken by private enterprise i.e., once wholly within the jurisdiction of and owned by elected government entities, now no longer a given. These highways traverse many different states and suggest a uniform “entity” that hovers and dominates above any states rights concept. The US DOI maintenance and collective ownership of natural and cultural lands (surface and below) such as federal lands and natural resources are literally being surrendered to the un-elected corporate boardroom members. A case in point, the corruption within the government of Louisiana giving away oil and gas rights- gratis to private petroleum companies.. The parallels to Marxist takeover seems clear. The term “collective” has been redefined by corporate takeover, consolidations, as was the case with across the country bank branch closures in the USA and Australia. The command economy of the USA created during WWII was never dismantled but continued to fashion weaponry as tho we were about to enter a new war(s) ….and we have!

    Walmart is so large a corporation, it has acquired the title of state within a state. Banking, automotive, credit issuance, grocery, durable goods and during national emergency, it’s mega-stores could easily be transformed into low security prisons.

    Whatever the devise used to steer cultural and political movements, the individual must eventually fall back on a structure that supports the christian corporal works of mercy; Feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned, and burying the dead. And it follows, aside from whether one believes in a god or some sort of heaven, that everyone seeks a higher or loftier society where the christian beatitudes become a reality; Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of “heaven” or if you will, an empyrean and new personal experience. Blessed are the meek for they shall posses the land… Mexican immigration (in support of big AG) movements are merely retaking what was once theirs. Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see god (or insert the word truth for the atheist) . Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of god (or insert the word- love for nonbelievers) Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven ( a feeling of nirvana here on earth)

    The element of force to obtain a “perfect” society had been tried and it failed every time. Voluntarism has also been tried as a collective effort, it too falls short in the realm of consistent practices. The only option remaining is to adopt the corporal works and beatitudes into ourselves by practicing them in some way or another each and every day.

    200, Interesting as always, Boiling the Frog. IMO good & evil are postulates. You can relax that assumption in various ways. You can maximize good, minimize evil, satisfice good, effect optimal control over the ratio under changing conditions. You can combine and weight additional objectives like right & wrong. Whatever good and evil and right and wrong are, they are undefined here. That’s why Jew supremacists and other malefactors are always redefining good to mean blowing shit up and exterminating indigenes.

    By contrast, the world standard polity defines all permissible public objectives in specific articles of core instruments and provides interpretive background in general comments. By comparison with this black-letter specification and review mechanism, religious doctrine is not coherent, consistent, or complete enough. At least one religious authority, the Catholic Church, acknowledges as much – human rights is Catholic doctrine. Ask the first guy you see in the Papal Curia, he’ll tell you so. And if you want more objectives than human rights offers, then you can always use your cultural rights and freedom of conscience and be good as all hell.

Perhaps the eternal epigrams and parables of their master were in fact onto something and ought to have taught some of his darkening people and the world something.

    I agree its a very very sad situation

  247. Mooloolaba: “Galatians 3:28 actually teaches that Jews, Greeks, slaves, freemen, males and females all have the same hope, if they are baptised Christians. It does not teach that all such people on earth are equal ie egalitarianism.”

    The verse states that all the groups you mention are “one” in Christ Jesus. If things are “one” then they are the same, i.e., equal to each other. The word “hope” isn’t used.

    But also, as I said, theological interpretations may differ. I’m not concerned with what your opinion of the “proper” interpretation of Galatians 3:28 is, and whether you’re correct or not. I’m just offering that verse as a prime example of how Christianity has fostered the idea of racial and sexual equality in the public mind.

    Mooloolaba: “The Bible does not teach the immortality of the soul, but it teaches conditional immortality via resurrection of the body at the second coming of Jesus Christ (Daniel 12:1-3), for faithful Christian believers. ”

    The point is Christianity makes a soul/body distinction. It’s dualistic. That leads to people thinking they aren’t “really” their bodies — bodies that they know will eventually fail and be destroyed — but instead an incorporeal “soul” that can survive physical death.

    28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
    – Matthew 10:28

    You people are truly lost until you return, or discover anew, the Christian faith

    Which Christian faith? Did you even read and comprehend?

    There were almost a dozen Bishoprics at the time of Constantine. They had to settle on one, the Trinitarian view. The one that Constantine wanted.

    Constantine in a gold coin to his son, gave up the truth. The pagan Roman lands transferred to the new Church. Constantine decided which branch of Christianity was valid. This was not trivial, a huge amount of land and wealth transferred, up to 1/3 of Rome.

    FOLLOW THE MONEY!

    It is only the original Christianity at the time of Christ that is what YOU NEED TO RETURN TO.

    Paul elbowed aside Jesus’ own brother, to then emit his original sin BS.

    PCR is right to bring back responsibility to those who were in charge and let this country and the West become Jewish infested/infiltrated colonies.

    Those who were in power and let themselves be corrupted by Jews, like German princes did with the Rothschild and from this moment on, they started to control money lending to the powerful, meaning they started to control entire nations as seen already during Napoleon times.

    PCR places the fault in the realm of ideas but this is money that fuels corruption and buy politicians, kings and tyrants (like Trump). This is money which funds wars, bribes ‘scientists’ to lie to conform to manufactured agendas, money that buys media and presstitutes, and who owns most the money (mostly stolen from us)?

    It’s money and those who own it who corrupted our nations. Will Musk and Trump dare to check where the US gold reserve really stand or will they let the central bankers and their handlers keep robbing the nation?

    Where does the Enlightenment come from? Voltaire, was a known antisemite but some say that the French revolution which was one of the consequence of enlightenment was an ‘Illuminati’ or masonic plot (hence with suspected Jewish roots).

    The pivotal time was WW1, coinciding with the creation of the ‘federal reserve’, followed by the fall of Europe, and it was obviously planned and arranged to be so. It was before the 1930’s and the Frankfurt school ideas came much later.

    I don’t think the Jews took control of the West through their ‘ideas’, but through accumulated money by the likes of Rothschilds which allowed them to buy politicians, media, entire institutions and power. Then came the ideologies like cultural marxism and the infiltration of the institutions.

    It would have never been possible without the betrayal of the ‘elites’ of the time. This is where the white ‘cucks’ are guilty of the demise of their own kind.

    And it continues to this day, the best example being the ultra-zionist Keir Starmer, better known as twotierkeir who is working really hard to destroy native Britons on behalf of his WEF/Jewish/globalist masters. Trump is another one, using false nationalism and patriotism to serve the same masters. On the other side of the Atlantic, ultra-liberals like Macron or fake ‘conservative’ like Blackrock manager Merz are serving the exact same masters and agenda.

    Trump in term of ideas is the exact opposite of cultural Marxists like Starmer or Trudeau and yet, they are working for the same people and pushing the same totalitarian agendas. Why do they betray their own kind? Money, power, blackmail, whatever it is, but it’s not because of cultural Marxism.

    If Trump was real he would end the Fed.

    @Boiling the Frog might be right about ‘the Great Reset being a front for the Judeo-Satanists’ plan for the One World Talmudic dictatorship’.

    As we debate, in Romania they cancel elections and arrest the winner, in Moldova the same, in Turkey a color revolution is attempted as in Serbia, in France they use corrupt judges to bar the most popular presidential candidate and most likely future winner from presenting herself.
    Not a word here about the complete destruction of Europe by the EU and some factions of the US. And while it happens, they are now organizing a future frontal conflict with Russia (2027). Not because they think the can win, but because such a war will allow them to do worse than what they did during covid and grab more power over people and resources.

    Destroying Europe, whose agenda is that?

    Today, they exterminate children in front of us and those who are jail or deported are the just people complaining about it.

    “Cultural Marxism” was attempted by several Egyptian dynasties. The whole idea of a central authority confiscating and allocating resources is hardly new. The idea has obvious appeal to the majority. The understanding collectivism makes thing worse can only be arrived at the hard way.

    The fact there is a large percentage of the western population clamouring for (more) socialism while the large-scale experimenters (Russia, China etc) have given up shows that the desire is more emotional than rational.

  256. Thank you for the apologist tips and tricks, Mr. Roberts. I’ll be using the one you used for the Frankfurt School whenever I want to deflect or diminish agency for an action.

    Sample sentences using this construction:

    >The Haskalah was an intellectual movement whose members happened to be largely Jewish.

    >The bicycles were stolen by individuals who happened to be largely African-American.

    >Olive Durand-Deacon’s body was placed in a bath which happened to be filled with largely sulphuric acid.

    >The Palestinian children were shot in the head by snipers who happened to be largely Israeli.

    >The truckstop glory hole was used by men who happened to be largely homosexual.

    I’m going to stop now, lest I make this post too long for modern readers. Seriously though, this is a meme-tier article in this year of Our Lord, 2025, particularly the title. It almost makes me wonder if it was written for a bet.

  257. When I was young, Americans understood Jews as pushy people who if you allowed them into your business, country club, or university would soon take over.

    Actually, the Jewish secret is passive-aggressiveness. If Jews in the US had only acted pushy, there would have been a mighty pushback. But Jews knew when to go soft, when to go hard. It’s the difference between a boxer and brawler. Brawler just flails his arms to maul the other guy whereas the boxer knows when to advance, when to retreat, when to punch, when to take a few punches for a at a counterpunch. Take Hymen Roth in THE GODFATHER PART 2. He wants to destroy Michael but pretends to be his friend. Michael knows the same art.

    This is why the Anglo-Americans or WASPS were truly vulnerable. Jews weren’t pushy all the time. Often, they played the game. Often, they praised America and cut deals with the Establishment. Jews formed alliances with other ethnics(against the WASPS) and with WASPS against the other ethnics.
    Take Nixon and Kissinger. Kissinger served Nixon but also nudged Nixon in the direction that favored Kissinger’s Worldview. Take Bush II and the Neocons. Neocons flattered him as the New Churchill, the spreader of democracy around the world, even as they nudge-nudged him to more Wars for Israel. Bill Kristol must have despised Dan Quayle as a dummy, but he once served as the dummy’s righthand man and praised him to high heaven as the kind of leader that the GOP needed. Whites today are addicted to Jewish praise. John McCain lived for Jewish approval. Nothing made him happier than Jews heaping praise on him as the ‘Good Republican’ whose best friend was Joe Lieberman, a Democrat Jew. Even HBD guys wet their pants if some Jews say few nice things about them. They react like God smiled down upon them. It’s so pathetic.

    The Frankfurt School consisted of Jewish Marxists whose agenda was a communist revolution. World War I caused Marxists to write off Marx’s proletariat. The war, contrary to Marxist expectations, failed to cause the proletariats to throw off their nationalist chains and unite against their oppressors. Instead, the proletariats united with their nationalist masters and fought one another.

    The Frankfurter ideology had less to do with the disappointment over World War I than with disillusionment with the Soviet Union. Frankfurters realized that the Soviet Union was a repressive tyrannical state ruled by fear and terror. It was hardly a paradise for workers or intellectuals but a top-down totalitarian system where dogma and conformism were the order of the day.

    [MORE]

    Frankfurt ideology sought to soften the totalitarian tendencies inherent in Marxism by combining it with Freudianism(or something like Karl Marx as Ron Jeremy). Supposedly, Stalinist repression rhymed with sexual repression, therefore true socialism would not only have to liberate labor from capital but liberate the libido from sexual repression — it could be some Frankfurters were merely justifying their portnoic lust for shikses. Granted, the Frankfurters were confused on how to come about this. They largely opposed the capitalist ‘commodification’ of culture and its mindless hedonism. In their own way, they had a puritanical intellectual streak, favoring stuff like unlistenable modernist music.
    But given their anti-dogma stance in opposition to Stalinism, there was no single theory within the so-called ‘Frankfurt School’, which made for a lively debate among its stalwart figures. That sense of Radical Dissent is what drew many to its influence. It was seen as radicalism that allowed for debate, in contrast to the Old Left that parroted the Moscow Line.

    The Frankfurt school addressed the problem of how the revolution was to be accomplished now that the workers had not thrown off their chains as Karl Marx had predicted they would do. The Frankfurt School’s solution was a “march through the institutions.”

    Frankfurters didn’t really care much about the working class. As Marxists, there was the usual lip service, but they were primarily occupied with the reformation of the bourgeois outlook. In other words, they were fashioning a Marxism for the bourgeoisie. They favored a neo-Marxism that wouldn’t destroy the bourgeoisie but reshape the class into a theoretical commitment to radicalism. Any school of thought that describes PRACTICE as ‘praxis’ favors theory over practice.
    Frankfurters realized that a communist system would do away with the kind of freedoms and right that they valued and enjoyed, those found in liberal bourgeois societies. They believe in the revolutionary spirit but didn’t want to be engulfed by revolution and its new tyranny. Thus, their focus, which was highly intellectual, was on the educated middle class. Just like Christianity gave up trying to change the world(in favor of the Salt of the Earth) and became the religion of the ruling classes, Frankfurters sought to make their brand of Marxism fashionable to the educated classes and the elites.
    This wasn’t to ultimately bring forth a Proletarian Revolution but to make their brand of radicalism palatable to the educated class, sort of what David Brooks described in his notion of the ‘bobo’ or bourgeois-bohemians. The so-called ‘long march through the institutions’ would mean the elites would imbibe aspects of ‘Marxism’ or ‘radicalism’, implying no necessity for a Workers Revolution. Why would such be necessary when the elites themselves were turned ‘radical’? Thus, Frankfurters had no real desire to see the US become a Proletarian State. They catered to the educated and the elites to make ‘radical’ ideas fashionable in elite circles.
    It’s like the Early Christians. Initially, they targeted the lower classes and hoped they would join in the anti-Roman revolution. But later they targeted the Roman elites, and once the Empire turned Christian, the faith and power became one and the same(and the poor masses didn’t matter much any more as Christianity had become the official cult of the ruling elites). Christianity began as a religion of the ruled but ended as a religion of the rulers.

    If anything, the Frankfurt School had a softening impact on the American Left. During the Great Depression, not just Jews but many WASPS turned to the Left, idealized the Soviet Union, and many feared that liberal democracy was doomed and the future of the US would either be communist or fascist. In post-war America, Frankfurt School offered the possibility of the continuance of the capitalist system with all the bourgeois amenities but with a kind of watered down Marxism-Freudianism as the official religion of the elites. The Frankfurters were too much in love with bourgeois liberties and rights to ever drive society toward a communist future.

    I suspect the cultural Marxists were accepted by Columbia University because they were on the cutting edge of left-wing, not Jewish, thinking. It was a left-wing movement whose members happened to be largely Jewish.

    Some say that the most influential figures in American academia were of the French School of Structuralists followed by Deconstructionists. Some say Michel Foucault was a key figure. May Day giving way to Gay Day may owe more to figures like Foucault.
    But then, even before that, the two towering French figures were Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. Camille Paglia often went batshit about the French and how they destroyed the academia. Harold Bloom also decried the influence of the French on US academia. Frankfurt School’s influence has been greatly exaggerated, especially as there was no single school.
    It’s true that Jewish Influence has been very great in post-war America, and many on the Right lazily and confusedly lump all of this influence into this thing called ‘Frankfurt School’. It makes it sound as if the US academia was taken over by a hotdog stand.

    The Enlightenment secularized morality while at the same time unleashing moral demands on society. But science called into question the validity or reality of moral motives. Scientists couldn’t weigh morality, measure it, calculate its strength, or judge its presence.

    It depends on what is meant by ‘morality’. To religious folks, it’s about sacred laws handed down from God. Religious folks often say morality isn’t possible without God because mankind without God will make up its own rules whereas belief in God reinforces the notion that morality isn’t arbitrary(by the whims of man) but sanctified from above. The problem with the religious argument is that religious morality depends on one’s conception of god or gods. Aztec gods demanded human sacrifice. Old Testament God smites entire populations. He also command the Israelites to wipe out entire tribes. New Testament says Jesus is the only path to ‘salvation’ and those who reject Him, no matter how decent they may be, will forever burn in hell. (Some loving religion)

    But morality need not be holy to have validity. We know from experience and reflection what makes for a good society. Also, one mustn’t confuse science with philosophy. True, morality has no place in hard sciences that are all about facts and data. If atoms could be split and create an atomic explosion, that’s science. Science is simply about understanding the laws of nature. In contrast, philosophy is about using reason and reflection to arrive at a better society. Science is about splitting atoms. Philosophy is about pondering the benefits and dangers of technology resulting from atomic science. Thus, philosophy is a form of morality but one grounded in reason and thought than on faith and spirit.
    Granted, one could argue that there has always been a philosophical angle to religion as well, i.e. in the progress of religions — which, far from remaining static, changed over the ages — , prophets and theologians used a combination of reason and emotions to arrive at what they deemed to be decent and humane and then projected those values onto the Heaven. In other words, even though religious texts say God handed morality to the humans, what really happened was the reverse, i.e. humans realized through reason and experience that some values were better than others and then projected them to the Heavens, making belief God commanded them.

    Morality seemed to vary according to class, race, gender, religion, national interest, and stage of societal and political development, and according to who had the upper hand–“might makes right.”

    The Enlightenment made a distinction between cultural norms and universal ideals. Every society had its baggage of customs and convictions that largely went unexamined. Such was embraced, practiced, and perpetuated because it was just part of the social and cultural fabric, and no one bothered to question them or ponder any other possibility.
    Enlightenment was about breaking free of those cultural chains and thinking freely, and this outlook didn’t begin with the French philosophes but with the Ancient Greeks, like when Socrates raised questions about gods and customs as arbiters of what is good.
    For example, Japanese prior to modernization believed their main purpose was to serve the master without question. But with the spread of Enlightenment principles, modern Japan allows each individual to receive education and think freely of what is good, what is right. Instead of blind adherence to tradition or blind obedience to authority, there is the ideal of the free individual thinking according to his freedom and conscience.
    True Enlightenment rises above differences in class, race, national interest, and etc. For instance, even a patriot who loves his country would have to admit that his country did wrong when it destroyed another country based on lies. Even someone who loves his family will have to admit his son is deserving of punishment if he committed a crime.

    Before the Enlightenment, societies did hot have the notion of transforming society and achieving social perfection. So the problem did not arise.

    There was radicals schools of Enlightenment that strove for utopia, but others were drawn to the Enlightenment precisely because it had a less vaunted worldview than religious orders did. The French Rev0lution is remembered as radical Enlightenment that tried to do too much and ended in bloodbath, but the English and American enlightenments are remembered as moderate, cautious, and sober. The Founding Fathers adopted Enlightenment principles but were also cautious men who rejected dreams of utopia. They believe in progress and reform but in an evolutionary process. (The American Civil War was less the result of Enlightenment radicalism than religious fanaticism of the Abolitionists.)

    Long before the Enlightenment, the Christian West believed in transforming humanity. Christians wiped out paganism in the North. Muslims spread their faith like wildfire and destroyed all paganism in their path. For a long spell, Catholics and Protestants couldn’t tolerate one another. Catholics wanted Europe to be all Catholic, and Protestants sought to destroy Catholicism. Christians and Muslims fought innumerable battles over which side would get to transform all of humanity: Christian or Islam.
    So, it’s not true that morality prior to the Enlightenment was rather humdrum and occupied only with ‘doing what’s right’. Religious orders were, in their own way, trying to bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The Thirty Years War was a bloody affair, and so were the Crusades and the Muslim conquests.
    But even without religious fanaticism, empires sought to transform the world. The Romans kept fighting and fighting to conquer more land to create a world in their own imperial image.

    But with moral demands being placed on society, how could post-Enlightenment morality be expressed?
    The answer is by denunciation of existing society and institutions. Morality was expressed by denouncing existing society for its immorality. The liberal reforms all relied on denunciation–slavery, racism, colonialism, exploitation, discrimination, class-based privileges, child labor, restricted franchise, the list goes on. The way society moved forward was not through affirmation of its successes but denunciation of its faults. Over time a denunciatory mind-set emerged. It affected the ways literature, history, politics, anthropology, law, and sociology were taught, and in our days brands math and science as “tools of white supremacy.”

    But current Wokeness defines itself as Anti-Enlightenment. Roberts critiques the Enlightenment as a vector to Anti-White ideology, but the ‘woke’ and others condemn the Enlightenment as the West’s pseudo-moral rationale to conquer the world. For most of Enlightenment history, imperialism was seen as a good thing for spreading the more advanced ideals and values of the West to the backward peoples of the world. British Liberals were bigger supporters of the Empire than the British conservatives in the 19th century. What we now call ‘racism’ was once favored by progressives as a properly scientific understanding of humanity based on the theories of Darwin. Also, Enlightenment took pride in using Western influence to end various injustices, such as widow-burning in India. After all, the slave trade began long before the Enlightenment, but it was Enlightenment principles that finally led the West to reject it and then abolish it globally. Child labor existed since ancient times, but it was the most Enlightenment parts of the West that first did away with it.

    The real contradiction in progressivism is its denunciation of Western domination/supremacism, all the while relying on Western hegemony to spread its favored values. For instance, the very progs who denounce Western imperialism are supportive of Western hegemony’s spread of globohomo to the ‘less evolved’ parts of the world. Even as the Western progs denounce ‘cultural imperialism’ and the past history of slavery in the Americas, the only reason why nonwhites believe slavery is an evil is because the West spread the idea that it is so. When blacks denounce slavery, they are not relying on traditional African wisdom but parroting Western Enlightenment ideas about slavery. For most of history, few cultures believed slavery to be evil. Some believed it to be wrong or unpleasant, but the idea of slavery as an evil is an Enlightenment idea spread by the West via hegemony and imperialism. The West often used imperialist force to end slavery in many parts of the world. Indeed, what’s amusing about the nonwhite progressives is that most of the ideas they invoke to denounce the West were put in their minds through Western hegemony. Take non-white women who bitch about the West. Their ‘feminism’ came from the West. If not for Western influence, they would still be living under the thumb of their own men.

    Traditionally, Enlightenment affirmed the successes as well as denouncing the failures of the West. The French Republic emphasized the successes of the Revolution than its disasters. Bolshevik Russia emphasized the successes of communism than its crimes. The US favored its triumphs than its tragedies. Even its tragedies such as Slavery was spun to justify the American Experiment. Walt Whitman took pride that America was the first civilization that fought a war to end slavery. Lincoln was a symbol of America’s progress and commitment to put away its wrongs.
    For most of its history, British progressives took pride in empire and its benefits to mankind. And when the empire ended, the Brits took pride in being decent enough to know when to call it quits.
    The movie GANDHI by Richard Attenborough makes Gandhi out to be a hero but also shows the Brits as capable of realizing when the empire has come to an end.

    The Jews were not responsible for this. Cultural Marxism fit in with it, but the process would have rolled along strongly without Cultural Marxism.

    Cultural Marxism wasn’t mainly responsible for the cult of White Guilt. That was more the ploy of Hyman Roth Tribalism that sought to gain power in the West. Jewish climbers, heavily into psychology of whiteness, knew which buttons to push.

    When it comes to the strategy of Jewish Power, there’s more to learn from the Leo-Straussian School than from the Frankfurt School. Hyman Roth was a Straussian, not a Frankfurter. Also, there was no danger of Jewish radicals in the academia turning the US into a communist-socialist state. The real threat came from Jewish capitalists. Whites had more to fear from Cultural Friedmanism.

    People think the Frankfurt School is responsible for spreading of vice and degeneracy. But think of the Jewish Sassoon dynasty that sold tons of opium to the Chinese. Did they act that way because they time-traveled to post WWII NY and read the Frankfurters?

    Las Vegas and spread of gambling, with full endorsement of Christians in the GOP, wasn’t a Frankfurt agenda.

    Likewise, the worst features of Weimar Germany owed to degeneracy spread by Jewish capitalists than by Jewish communists.

    The real problem isn’t the Enlightenment but the lingering Christian ethos of the West. Enlightenment is seen as anti-religious, but it carried on with the cult of self-righteousness intrinsic to Christianity. The worst contribution of Christianity to humanity was sanctimony, this ‘holier than thou’ attitude that made Christians the most insufferable bunch of pricks in the world.
    Judaism and Islam have their own nastiness and problems, but they aren’t sanctimonious but hardier in morality. Judaism’s main figures are prophets and warriors. Same with Islam. In contrast, Christianity is centered on a figure of love and sacrifice, goo-goo sainthood. It says the Son of God(who Himself is God) sacrificed Himself for humanity, and that humanity should seek to emulate Him in the way of the saints. This alone makes for sanctimonious crap. But it gets worse. Any civilization that lives by the word of Jesus is doomed. “Turn the other cheek” and all that. So, Christian civilizations fought, conquered, and plundered like the rest. But because of Jesus’ teachings, this could only lead to feelings of guilt in the Christian heart. The West, a civilization defined most by Christianity, used its material might to conquer the world and kick everyone’s butt. It led to moral schizophrenia. A civilization based on sainthood but gaining power with warriors and merchants.

    Enlightenment weakened religion, but the Christian sanctimony and self-righteousness remained as part of Western DNA. Robespierre was emotionally no different from the kind of puritans who burned witches. The new religion of Holocaustianity is all about elevating Jews as the new messiahs and begging forgiveness for all eternity. BLM is about white secularites sobbing like Christians of old and washing stinky Negro feet as atonement. Even though most of these people are non-Christian or even anti-Christian, their emotions are wrapped up in quasi-Christian sanctimony.

    Thus, the problem is less the Enlightenment than its failure to stamp out Christian sanctimony.
    It’s like Bolshevism did away with the Old Order in Russia but was, in many ways, a continuance of a deeply embedded authoritarian system. And Mao in China did away with the old order but was himself an emperor worshipped as a god by his minions. It goes to show ideas can change but habits remain the same.

    The way to do away with the cult of ‘White Guilt’ is to finally root out Christian sanctimony, and its holier-than-thou self-righteous crap.

    Another problem is the lack of agency in white morality. If indeed whites genuinely and sincerely feel sorry for past misdeeds and want to make amends, that would be one thing. But what passes for current white morality is totally dependent on what-Jews-want.
    For instance, if white morality is truly sorry about racial discrimination in the past, whites should be condemning Apartheid Israel. But the very whites in the GOP who say MLK was a great man and there was no excuse for Jim Crow laws are now totally supporting Jewish takeover of West Bank and total destruction of Gaza.

    The very whites who hail the Warsaw Uprising and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising as heroic acts denounce what happened on 10/7 without any context and use it as pretext to justify any number of Zionist war crimes. If they were consistent, they would call 10/7 the Gaza Uprising. But Jews control white minds. Jews and Poles rising up against Nazi Germans were heroic, but how dare Gazans rise up against Zionist tyranny?

    In other words, White Guilt isn’t even genuine guilt borne of reflection and conscience but merely the product of Jewish pushing of buttons in the cucked white mind. When Christianity was antisemitic, at the very least it was free of Jewish manipulation. But once Christianity accepted a morally and spiritually inferior position vis-a-vis Judaism and Jews after WWII, it has turned into a religion of Appeasement of Zion.
    At any rate, the reason why whites are so easily manipulated thus is because of the lingering influence of Christian sanctimony. Whether it’s arch-religious Evangelicals or arch-secular progs, both groups are easily manipulated by Jews into getting on their knees in atonement. Evangelicals say redemption is possible only by serving the Chosen Race against subhuman Palestinians, and Progs believe redemption is only possible by celebrating homos, washing black feet, and purging ‘white identity’ from white souls.

    That said, the growing pro-Palestinian movement is a healthy indication on both the Right and the Left that a mindset independent of Jewish manipulation is beginning to take shape.

    For most of US history, there was a nice balance of the right and the left, the triumphalists and the tragedists. This made for pride and confidence but also for reflection and reform.
    But Jewish ascendancy meant Jews put their thumb on the scale in favor of the Left. But what’s truly perverse is that Jews didn’t do so in a sincere commitment to leftist principles but in service to tribal opportunism. After all, the very Liberal Jews who denounced white ‘racism’ were always pressuring whites to support Jewish racial supremacy in Israel/Palestine. The very Jewish Liberals who denounced the US role in Vietnam were later egging the US on to destroy any nation standing in the way of Zionist supremacy in the Middle East. The very liberal Jews who denounced greedy capitalist of white privilege were supporting the Jewish oligarchs in Russia of the 90s and then hostile to Putin for favoring the Russian masses over the globalist oligarchs. The very Jewish Liberals who endlessly ragged on about McCarthyism later pushed the Russia collusion hoax and anti-Russian hysteria and blacklisting(and censorship). The very Jewish Liberals who howled about nazi-this and nazi-that were more than happy to support Nazi elements in Ukraine. The very Jewish Liberals who claimed to stand for secularism and tolerance were more than willing to work with arch-religious Evangelicals and Muslim Jihadis to do the bidding of the tribal-supremacist state of Israel. In other words, most of Jewish Liberalism was a fraud. This is all more Leo-Straussian School than Frankfurt School.

    But there is also the Bill Buckely the Cuckley School of brownnosing, which is however also the school of Jared Taylor, Charles Murray, Steve Sailer, and etc. On the JQ, they are no different from Lindsey the pansy Graham. Maybe THAT SCHOOL should be called out and put to rest.

    Let’s take a break attacking Trump inasmuch as he’s instituting tariffs that merely level the playing field, and not even that since his tariffs are on average only half of those imposed on us. No wonder the Republicans are siding with the Democrats to annihilate any attempt to restore American tech know-how and manufacturing excellence. God forbid, since men and women earning a good living will vote out the deep state and its masters on Wall Street in a heartbeat. Bear in mind that Congress literally, factually represents the internal enemies of the American people and take it from there. Hanging is too good for 95% of the corrupt bunch of stooges fools mistake for their representatives in Congress. Americans will die, but Congress will fight to preserve globalism to the end.

    Possibly, Josh Shapiro was denied the opportunity to head the ticket because he is Jewish, forget vice president, and his being white was itself a sufficient reason. In either position on the ticket, Shapiro would have had little appeal outside of the Northeast Quadrant, but he might not have needed it. If the Democrats had won Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in 2024, they would have made 270 in Electoral College.

    Consider though what position the actual nominee, Kamala Harris, would be if she had won Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin by narrow margins and become president. She would be operating under the stigma of having lost the popular vote. The Republican would still control both houses of congress and it would stay that way for all four years. There would be doubts about her ability to get reelected. There would doubts even within her own party about her ability to manage the job.

    Her spin doctors and the DNC media machinery would be crowing about how adaptable and brilliant she was and no one would believe it. Not even in her own party. If the nomination process had been open and Shapiro or Gavin Newsom had been the nominee, the situation would not be much different. I don’t think Newsom could have won anyway. The public might have had more faith that Shapiro had sufficient underlying intelligence and basic ability, but he would be facing the same Republican congress Harris would have had to face He would have to deal with anti-Semitism within his own party.

    From what I could tell, Ron Unz’s article was about the purges going on in higher education now, not about some Jewish conspiracy to destroy the educational system or America itself.

    The Western world is committed to change, growth, expansion, development, and progress. When the West stopped growing and expanding, it still wanted change and something that it could call progress. So the West turned against itself. The guilt feelings in Western Christianity helped to fuel the change. Most cultures or civilizations put their efforts into just surviving. When the West conquered so much of the world in the last few centuries and wasn’t subjected to external threats, Westerners turned on each other and then on the idea of the West itself. Jews were a part of that movement in so far as they were educated Westerners who were alienated from the majority culture but to call the West’s self-critical mood a result of some Jewish conspiracy is to miss the dynamic of the West as a whole. If your message is to not change anything or criticize anything in your society, that’s not going to have as much appeal in the West as you might think. If the trend isn’t directly towards social change, it’s toward economic change that brings social change in its wake.

    The Frankfurt School had its big moment in the 1940s. They published their ideas about how to change American society and went back to Germany to change German society. Most of the time, though, they were losers, speculative thinkers with no hope of really changing anything. Towards the end, Adorno and Horkheimer had to put up with the realization that the revolution wasn’t coming. The extent to which the US adopted Frankfurt School thinking had a lot to do with the decline of religion and the rise of mass affluence. It was a lot more about Freud than about Marx (or Adorno or Horkheimer). The change was in line with trends that had origins on this side of the Atlantic in the Greenwich Village intellectuals and artists of the early 20th century. That Marcuse was very much aligned with that way of thinking has made us think the Frankfurt School was more influential than it was.

    All the talk about Josh Shapiro not being the VP nominee because he was Jewish doesn’t quite fit the facts. Shapiro had worked in the Israeli embassy. He volunteered to help the IDF (he didn’t volunteer to be in the IDF though). Would Americans really want someone who had had such close ties with any foreign government to be “one heartbeat away from the presidency?

    The Frankfurt School consisted of Jewish Marxists whose agenda was a communist revolution.

    That may have been one goal — but a rather specific motivation for the work of Frankfurt School Jews in the US is exemplified by the collaboration that produced the book The Authoritarian Personality, namely combating ‘fascism’ and ‘antisemitism’ (the latter never having rational causes) — unsurprisingly, when Jews go looking for ‘antisemitism’, they unfailingly find it:

    [MORE]

    From 1936 to 1945, American social scientists conducted over 400 surveys on antisemitism as part of a larger goal of fortifying democracy in the United States against fascism. In 1943, the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC) initiated a comprehensive study of the prevalence of antisemitism among American workers. … Their 1500-page report based on empirical data on “Antisemitism among American Labor”, found that American workers held strong antisemitic tendencies and were drawn to fascism.

    The research was conducted during and after World War II and the Holocaust — the attempted genocide of European Jews by Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist regime when significant concerns about the origins of fascism and authoritarianism had been raised. Adorno had been a member of the “Frankfurt School”, a group of philosophers and Marxist theorists who fled Germany when Hitler shut down their Institute for Social Research. Adorno et al. were thus motivated by a desire[citation needed] to identify and measure factors that were believed to contribute to antisemitic and fascist traits.

    As we debate, in Romania they cancel elections and arrest the winner, in Moldova the same, in Turkey a color revolution is attempted as in Serbia, in France they use corrupt judges to bar the most popular presidential candidate and most likely future winner from presenting herself.

    This is where “Cultural Marxism” becomes the fig-leaf for the imperialism of the Jews.

    How do all these Jew tools explain to their underlings the justifications for criminalizing their political opposition?

    Their underlings have been prepared with the notion of “repressive tolerance.” Having something other than arbitrary rule by the kikes and their puppets is a form of “repressive tolerance.” Any sort of accountability for kikes is repression that need not be respected in law. Hence all these renegade judges believing they can overrule anything and anyone on the naked basis of “Democracy is in Danger.” (Democracy meaning 100% control by kike bankers as they have in Ukraine). Imagine the insipid mentality behind the Washington Post’s tagline “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” We’re talking about people who aren’t too bright raised up to all sorts of responsible positions. (recall how are “fellow Rightists” like Keith O’Brien were gushing over that goofy election soothsayer Jew with his “Keys” – cable news is directed more at the people in the beltway as it is to news junky senior citizens – imagine
    these old fogies wasting their time with the New York Times every day!)

    It’s nothing new. “Representative government” of the judeo-masonic kind is a fiction.

    In actual fact this is what the Freemasons have always done, although they’ve had the convenient recourse to STEALING ELECTIONS, but there is no need to cheat in an election if the underlings are taught that legal protections that are “repressive” need not be respected, so it’s fair to arrest the opposition for advocating the “wrong” policies.

    ‘Let’s take a break attacking Trump inasmuch as he’s instituting tariffs that merely level the playing field, and not even that since his tariffs are on average only half of those imposed on us. ‘ — DanFromCT

    With respect, this assertion is mistaken. David Stockman did a thorough analysis on the weighted tariff rates of major US trading partners — the analysis that Trump should have done, but didn’t. Excerpts:

    The 1.94% average tariff imposed by the EC on imports from the US (shown above) was barely a tad higher than the 1.60% average tariff (see below) imposed by the US on the identical slate of products coming in from Europe.

    Here is the data for Japan’s imports from the USA. Most of these imports are tariffed at zero, and average 1.5% across all commodities. Again, processed foods and farm commodities are a bit higher at 5% and 10%, respectively, but Japan’s weighted average of 1.5% for all products is actually lower than the average US rate of 2.0%.

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/david-stockman/fallacy-of-reciprocal-tariffs/

    Today we learned that Trump’s Enserfment Day tariffs employed a crude, invalid calculation based on other countries’ trade balances with the US, not their actual tariff rates. This produces absurdly high, punitive tariff rates which shocked markets globally, and which aren’t actually reciprocal at all.

    I won’t even go into the patent unconstitutionality of tariffs-by-decree [cf. Article 1, Section 8], based on a bogus emergency.

    Opinions anyone?

    There are two main purposes of votes/elections.

    1. A means by which a member of a society is selected to receive powers to run things on behalf of that society. This is the purpose that everybody talks about.

    2. A means by which members of a society are kept engaged and invested in that society. They believe that they have the power to change their future, and therefore less likely to revolt or rebel against their system. This is the purpose few talk about but IMHO the much more powerful emotional component. There are unsaid things about this aspect of a voting/election system.
    2.1 There is an assumption of a form of equality amongst those granted the right to vote.
    2.2 There is a reluctance to expand or contract voting rights. When expanding rights beyond those already given, it is seen as a dilution of the power of those already with the right to vote. However this is easier to do than contracting rights. For example from giving voting rights to women, one might encounter opposition from men, but it is offset somewhat by the support of women. However contracting rights say removing it from women would entail opposition from all women, plus some men. Contracting is far more difficult than expanding, and I know of no examples of voiting rights entire classes/genders being removed. Though there are plenty of examples of the opposite.

    While the ideas you wrote about are interesting and worth considering, they are but one of many possible formulations that can be proposed, and some even existed in the past.

    A curious example was one proposed by Lee Kuan Yew, the founding Prime Minister of Singapore. He recognised that not all men are created equal, and therefore should not have equal power to select rulers….as you yourself have astutely recognised.

    Singapore inherited a Westminster style of government from the British where Members of Parliament were elected by constituents. Every citizen at the age of majority was entitled one vote. His proposal was that married men between 35 and 60 and with a family, would be given an additional vote. He was pushing for a an improvement in the way Singaporean society was governed. He recognised that this was exactly the demographic that would take its voting rights the most seriously and vote for the long term good of society rather than for immediate selfish gain. …………His move relates to Item 1 above.

    Lee Kuan Yew was known to use a strong hand to push things that was good for the country. Yet he was greatly respected and trusted for being no-nonsense, anti-corruption, and highly effective.

    However even he found that proposal encountered too great an opposition, primarily from women and those below 30 and above 60. ………… this opposition relates to Item 2 above.

    LKY knew that had he pushed his proposal forward, it would evoke such deep fears and insecurity that it would result in his political party losing its ruling status. Needless to say, his proposal met a quick death.

    ——————-

    In the Singapore example, it shows how voting system inherently limits change to itself. To effect any change, catastrophic circumstances have to humble society to an extent that it will go along with changes to its established election structure.

    IMHO, this is why we see in democratic societies, changes to the election/political system does not take place in a slow gradual evolutionary manner. It happens intermittently in periods of highly charged turmoil between long periods of slow decline.

    Have you considered other ways of appointing persons competent enough to run/rule society besides elections?

    Afterall the great sage of democratic Athens considered Democracy to be almost the worst form of government. I think the very basic and foundational issues Socrates brings up are as relevant now as ever. Maybe even more relevant more now than ever.

    By forgetting these, and trying to reach formulations on the best voting system, we are putting the cart before the horse, IMHO.

  290. Eric135 says:

    People commonly blame (or praise) the Frankfurt School for cultural Marxism, but I don’t see it. I’ve read Marcuse (One Dimensional Man, Eros and Civilization, Reason and Revolution, Critical Philosophy, A Critique of Pure Tolerance), Adorno (Negative Dialectics, Hegel: Three Studies), Horkheimer (Eclipse of Reason, Critique of Instrumental Reason) and commentaries on the Frankfurt School by Martin Jay (The Dialectical Imagination) and David Held (Introduction to Critical Theory). Also, a book entitled Contra Marcuse by Eliseo Vivas.

    Adorno, Marcuse and Horkheimer didn’t see a Marxist revolution as a realistic possibility. Instead, what they wanted was to subject modern Western societies to relentless criticism based on a philosophical foundation of historical materialism and Hegelian dialectic. Kant and Hegel were central to their philosophical thought, which was also heavily informed by Freudian psychoanalysis. They rejected Heidegger (Adorno sarcastically called his thought “the jargon of authenticity”), existentialism, positivism and scientism. If you were to compare their erudite writings to those of Marx himself, the latter comes off as an uneducated crank and fanatic. Marcuse was hired by the O.S.S. (precursor to the CIA) to analyze the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He certainly did not think of it as a model for anyone to follow.

    During the 1960s, Marcuse became popular with leftist students and was embroiled in controversy at the University of California at San Diego where he was a professor. Local conservatives called for him to be dismissed. In the midst of this sixties’ turmoil, and enjoying the attention from students, Marcuse adopted a more revolutionary stance and talked about women, minorities and Vietnamese peasants as a potential revolutionary class. Adorno was appalled by this activism. He would later call the police and have leftist students removed from his office at the University of Frankfurt. Both Adorno and Horkheimer had returned to Germany not long after the war. Of the original founders, only Marcuse and Leo Lowenthal remained in the US, with Lowenthal living quietly as a Berkeley professor.

    Adding to the controversy surrounding Marcuse was his connection to Angela Davis (currently a professor emerita at UC Santa Cruz), who had studied under him at Brandeis University and had been accused of murder, tried, and found not guilty.

    So, where did the “march through the institutions” idea come from? I believe it came from Gramsci, an Italian Marxist who was imprisoned by Mussolini.

    The Frankfurt School was not a Jewish conspiracy, even though its members were Jews. They were cosmopolitans without a trace of ethnocentrism that I was able to discern. However, being Jews, and having had to flee Hitler’s Germany, they were hypersensitive to any potential signs of incipient fascism. Adorno co-wrote a book entitled The Authoritarian Personality that found “fascist tendencies” in the traditional white American family. Unfortunately, this charge was taken up by Jews and leftists in general and it still resonates today.

    As far as the source of the problems we face is concerned, I believe Western Europe and the Anglophone countries are a mix of Enlightenment values, Christianity and paganism with a huge dollop of subversive Jewish influence and control. Jews have had leadership positions in just about every bad thing that has happened in the West. And their Talmud makes it clear they are a mostly hostile presence in any country they inhabit outside of Israel. Their thought has so infected the goyim that it seems inconceivable that any recovery could take place even if the Jews were to disappear tomorrow.

    There is something in what the author says about the influence of science on morality, but values — like truth — are by their very nature absolute. If something is morally good, there can be no alternative goods that contradict that good. Any alternatives are not good and may well be evil. In this sense, morality is like truth, which also tolerates no alternatives that contradict it.

    We may be mistaken in assessing what is true or moral, but that has no bearing on what is in fact true or moral. There cannot be multiple competing morals that contradict each other any more than there can be multiple competing truths that contradict each other. The problem of relative value and the nihilism that results from it is a problem of miseducation and misdirection. It is a problem that has probably always existed and is not specific to the Enlightenment per se.

    Thomasina, thank you for your response.

    Cultivating a quiet inner awareness of one’s being body by developing an inner composure accompanied by the sensation of one’s physical body is essential.

    Quieting the incessant chi chat ordinarily taken for thinking requires one’s dedication to developing one’s attention, without which one can do nothing.

    Without that particular attention everything is done mechanically and most peculiarity without one’s awareness. People possessed by their concern for what others think of them or say about them causes most people to be run by outside influences.

    There are even today gathering places where one is aided by those whom are already practicing certain methods of discovering the inner strength and composure to be had by attaining to this awakened condition.

    In fact these ancient practises are not done with the aim of retreating from the world but are practiced so one can be in the world without attaching to externalities, i.e. being identified.

    At first people remember how peculiar it was to glimpse this state of quiet inner attention. At first this state is not permanent. But with persistence and ever so gradually one feels something like a madman when one forgets to attend to the requisite attention.

    Unity of the body, the emotions and the brain is the aim. It most certainly is a state — one which is consciously attained by one’s directed attention —attained by waking up the master in the house.

    Instead of the body, the emotions and the brain working independently, these three can be directed to work in concert. This will not happen by itself. No one can do it for you. Once you attain to that state, it cannot be taken from you!

    I wonder who’s MOST responsible for what’s going on in Syria since Assad fled. One things for sure: I wouldn’t want to be a Christian or an Alawite in Syria today. I wouldn’t want to be the guys in the video below who are getting a taste of so-called Muslim justice, of Sharia.

    Another thing is for sure: America and Americans will, sooner or later, pay for what they did. So will the Jews and Israel.

    – just to add/once found on Unz/

    This is typical of anti-Semitic paranoia, what Ashkenazi Jews would call “goyishe narrishkeyt,” “goy stupidity.” To beat the Jew you have to out-jew the Jew. You can’t be a stupid goy and make mistakes when writing about these subjects. You have to learn Yiddish, Hebrew and Aramaic. You have to read the Talmud and Shulhan Arukh and the Yiddish and Hebrew press in the original. You can’t be a dilletante. Like the idiots who say that Stalin was Jewish because “Djugashvili” is a Jewish name. Total nonsense. Or that Beria was Jewish. Total nonsense. Beria was actually Mingrelian and, according to the Russian entry in wikipedia, his mother was related to the noble house of Dadiani, and being Mingrelian also obviously Orthodox Christian aristocracy.

    Strictly speaking, Adorno was also not Jewish. At least not halakhically jewish. Adorno could not be buried in a Jewish cemetery, whereas Harrison Ford could because his mother is Jewish, thereby making him a Jew.

    Adorno’s father, Theodor Wiesengrund, was an assimilated German Jew who converted to Protestantism. Adorno’s mother, whose name he took, Maria Calvelli-Adorno della Piana, was Italian. I am not sure whether Adorno was baptized in the Catholic church. If he was baptized, then according to the Magisterium of the Catholic church, Adorno is a lapsed Catholic and apostate. Once baptized always baptized. Ceraintly, the Jewish zealots in the current Israeli government would consider Adorno to be a goy, even if he were eligible for Israeli citizenship according to the Law of Return.

    The atheist alt-right people don’t understand that contemporary Jewry’s power is metaphysical. The sublunary sphere is the realm of the demons, the adverse powers of the aerial realm. Kabbalah is Jewish voodoo, occult black magic and sorcery, manipulation of reality through spells, like modern advertising or Hollywood. Whoever works with these unclean forces gets power in the world. Sell your soul to the devil, and you may do well in the casino of life, but then there’s hell to pay. I wouldn’t want to be in Sheldon Adelson’s shoes on the Judgment Day. None of his Macau casinos will help him on Doomsday. Even so, I hope Sheldon repented, because I wouldn’t even want a man as odious as Adelson to suffer eternity in hell. The only antidote to fighting Antichrist is Christ and the katehon, the power that restrains (II Thessalonians). But going there takes a bit of humility. Thor and Odin won’t help you in your struggle against the Novus Ordo Saeculorum and kabbalistic Freemasonry. Neither will Judaized protestantism, libertarianism, or Americanism. America itself was founded on Judaic principles. Catholics had it much worse in America in the 19th century than Jewish plutocrats. There were signs in Boston “Irish need not apply” or “Irishmen and dogs not welcome.” There were never signs that said: “Jews need not apply.” Jewish capital was always welcome in America. The WASPs in their endless greed and avarice are to blame. It was only when the Jews gained the upper hand that the WASPs began to realize what they’d done.

  307. Paul Craig Roberts: “… [H]ow could post-Enlightenment morality be expressed? … Morality was expressed by denouncing existing society for its immorality. The Jews were not responsible for this. Cultural Marxism fit in with it, but the process would have rolled along strongly without Cultural Marxism.”

    There’s a long Christian tradition of denouncing society’s existing morality that goes back at least as far as Jesus whipping the money changers out of the temple, calling his fellow Jews children of Satan, and really, back into Old Testament times as well. Repent! Repent! cries Isaiah to his coreligionists, for by their behavior they have offended the Lord. This tradition surfaces again in Martin Luther and the Reformation.

    Denunciation of society is just post-Enlightenment morality showing its Christian roots. The Jews can justly be blamed for inventing Christianity, but whites have nobody but themselves to blame for accepting it and following this death cult. Christianity is a totalitarian creed that can allow no opposition. But the “contradiction” PCR is complaining about comes once it has vanquished all opponents. Then it starts destroying itself. Didn’t the crucified rabbi tell you this himself?

    34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.

    – who and how corrupts;

    “White Europe” died because Europe renounced Christendom and went back to paganism beginning with the Renaissance and the depredations of the Papacy. The Pope is worse than the sanhedrin, because the Pope had the Truth but twisted it, whereas the sanhedrin never had the Truth and can plead a degree of ignorance. The idiot Reformers threw the Septuagint into the trash and translated from the Jewish Masoretic text which purposefully mangles all the references to the advent of Christ in the Old Testament. How pathetic, in their arrogant pseudo-intellectuality they sacrificed their own sacred tradition while advocating Sola Scriptura. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. This is all obvious. Protestantism was “Judaizing.” Calvin and Luther were “Judaizers.” And Saint John Chrysostom had worse things to say about Christian Judaizers than Jews. And the Puritans were Judaizers, as were Cromwell and the “Founding Fathers.”

    And yes, once baptized always baptized, especially if one is raised in the faith. Public apostasy is a conscious abjuration of one’s faith and a terrible sin akin to murder. I do not know whether Adorno had a Catholic upbringing, but I seem to remember having read somewhere that he did. (After all, Pope Pius IX stole the Mortara child, something which would be considered uncanonical in Orthodoxy.)

    “White nationalism” is simply the frustrated impotent scream of a civilization that committed suicide. The Jewish ascendancy was not the cause but the result of Europe’s apostasy. And America was founded on Jewish ideas. A Russian once told me: “It is a mistake to blame the Jews for the Revolution. The Russian intelligentsia was sick. If you do not bathe, then bacteria will form on your skin and you will stink. That’s what happened to Russia.” It was Blavatsky, Kerensky, the decadent aristocracy which betrayed the Tsar who are the first to blame. The Jewish Chekists were the instruments of God’s wrath, much as the Muslim Turks were God’s punishment for the Unia of the decadent Latinized Greek elites of Constantinople.

    That’s a metaphysical interpretation of the materialist reading of MacDonald et. al. Anti-Christian forces cannot be fought with Neo-paganism, fascism, Nordic sex breeding programs, the Bhagavad Gita, etc. Only with holy water and incense and icons and processions with church banners, etc.

    Guyenot and Co. don’t get it. If Isaiah speaks in a certain way, he’s speaking to an audience of Semitic nomads. The Rig Veda also glorifies genocide of Dravidians. You gnostic White Nationalist neo-pagans are Marcionites who totally misunderstand true Christian teaching.

    But nobody listens, so even writing this or responding is pointless, since rage and resentment are the modus operandi of White Nationalists. If only we could go back to Thor and Odin, it would all be fine.

    If the Nazis had’t had such a dim view of the Slavs and narrow-minded puerile racialist German obsessions, maybe they could have formed a pan-European movement that would have ultimately re-embraced Europe’s Christian roots.

    European Christendom was founded on Saint Constantine’s vision of the Chi Rho in the sky and the words below “en touto nika,” “in hoc signo, vinces” “in this, conquer.” And Saint Constantine, though not yet baptized, defeated Maxentius. And all of Maxentius’ pagan priests, sorcerers, astrologers and wizards, summoning the demonic powers of their false gods, failed against the Chi Rho sign. The devils which Maxentius’ pagan warlocks summoned were powerless against the cross. Constantine triumphed. Later, his mother Saint Helena made her pilgrimage to Jerusalem only to discover the True Cross, the Holy Rood.

    The rest is history, the real history of Europe, which has now devolved into the universal apostasy of the Vatican with Vatican II, the abomination of the Anglican “communion” and other protestant para-synagogues of satan allied to the sanhedrin of belial at the wailing wall in Jerusalem.

    (This must sound pathetic to an Aryan kshatriya charioteer by now. Even Judaic morality! Let’s chop off some dalit heads. Sturm und Drang! Die Valkuere kommen!) (p.s. I guess the Slavs were more conducive to Orthodox Christianity than the Germanic peoples because the Germans were too arrogant. In fact, they destroyed what was good in Latin Christendom with their heretical pseudo-Arian innovations forming this Germano-Latin papal caeserism of the Gregorian reform.)

    I understand where MacDonald and Guyenot are coming from. But they don’t see the Big Picture. That’s the problem. Above all, they don’t get philology. Solzhenitsyn, on the other hand, made painstaking efforts to consult Jewish sources when writing Two Hundred Years. If you make mistakes like identifying non-Jews or half-Jews as “typical Jews,” you run the risk of making yourself look like a dilettante and ideologue and plain fool. There is no “white race.” The English viewed the Irish as vermin. Andrew Joyce should know this. A Lord Byron was more at home with a Sassoon or even a lower class Daniel Deronda than with an Irish Catholic yeoman. There were no Jewish slaves in the thirteen colonies, but there were Irish slaves. Jewish slave owners of course were present though, like Aaron Lopez of Newport, Rhode Island who built the first synagogue in the Thirteen Colonies.)

    Please explain how Jesus was part of the apocalyptic Judaism strain. You cannot do it.

    It’s actually not that hard. Most modern scholarship agrees that Jesus was a first century apocalyptic prophet. It’s an observation that goes back to Albert Schweitzer in the 1920s. The earliest accounts (such as Mark, Q, and Matthew) have him make numerous predictions about the kingdom of God being at hand and that those alive will live to see it. There was a dire urgency in these early sayings that were later muted in Luke (85 CE) and John (95 CE). This isn’t surprising given that Jesus’ end times prophecy failed and hence later sources like Luke insisted that the kingdom of God was actually within. Jesus’ deluded followers gave up their livelihoods, possessions, and cut ties with their families. Why? Because they expected the world to end 2000 years later? Of course not. They were expecting it soon. If Jesus were alive today he’d be dismissed as a lunatic doomsday cult leader.

    It’s not a sure thing yet, although some people who sent emails to the US embassy in SA have been called in for interviews. It sounds like they are gathering info to form a policy. The background checks were apparently part of the old system that was stopped by Trump for screening refugee status applicants. Some advice says that the more info you give willingly the better your chances, but don’t hide things that they may be able to connect with you.

    The new program would probably work the same. I think one can normally be linked to all online activities by google or Gmail accounts. I’m not too worried though, I haven’t done anything illegal and mostly kept it mild here too. I would not be worried if the cops for instance got hold of any of the devices I use.

    There is always a possibility that they will only skim off the more qualified people from the top. I’ll stick to keeping staying here as my default setting on the subject for now. I’m pretty sure I would feel like I’m betraying the whites who get left behind or those who refuse to leave, there are some tough white MFs here.

    42. In the modern era, the idea of the Last Judgement has faded into the background: Christian faith has been individualized and primarily oriented towards the salvation of the believer’s own soul, while reflection on world history is largely dominated by the idea of progress. The fundamental content of awaiting a final Judgement, however, has not disappeared: it has simply taken on a totally different form. The atheism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is—in its origins and aims—a type of moralism: a protest against the injustices of the world and of world history. A world marked by so much injustice, innocent suffering, and cynicism of power cannot be the work of a good God. A God with responsibility for such a world would not be a just God, much less a good God. It is for the sake of morality that this God has to be contested. Since there is no God to create justice, it seems man himself is now called to establish justice. If in the face of this world’s suffering, protest against God is understandable, the claim that humanity can and must do what no God actually does or is able to do is both presumptuous and intrinsically false. It is no accident that this idea has led to the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice; rather, it is grounded in the intrinsic falsity of the claim. A world which has to create its own justice is a world without hope. No one and nothing can answer for centuries of suffering. No one and nothing can guarantee that the cynicism of power—whatever beguiling ideological mask it adopts—will cease to dominate the world. This is why the great thinkers of the Frankfurt School, Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, were equally critical of atheism and theism. Horkheimer radically excluded the possibility of ever finding a this-worldly substitute for God, while at the same time he rejected the image of a good and just God. In an extreme radicalization of the Old Testament prohibition of images, he speaks of a “longing for the totally Other” that remains inaccessible—a cry of yearning directed at world history. Adorno also firmly upheld this total rejection of images, which naturally meant the exclusion of any “image” of a loving God. On the other hand, he also constantly emphasized this “negative” dialectic and asserted that justice —true justice—would require a world “where not only present suffering would be wiped out, but also that which is irrevocably past would be undone”[30]. This, would mean, however—to express it with positive and hence, for him, inadequate symbols—that there can be no justice without a resurrection of the dead. Yet this would have to involve “the resurrection of the flesh, something that is totally foreign to idealism and the realm of Absolute spirit”[31].

    44. To protest against God in the name of justice is not helpful. A world without God is a world without hope (cf. Eph 2:12). Only God can create justice. And faith gives us the certainty that he does so. The image of the Last Judgement is not primarily an image of terror, but an image of hope; for us it may even be the decisive image of hope. Is it not also a frightening image? I would say: it is an image that evokes responsibility, an image, therefore, of that fear of which Saint Hilary spoke when he said that all our fear has its place in love[35]. God is justice and creates justice. This is our consolation and our hope. And in his justice there is also grace. This we know by turning our gaze to the crucified and risen Christ. Both these things—justice and grace—must be seen in their correct inner relationship. Grace does not cancel out justice. It does not make wrong into right. It is not a sponge which wipes everything away, so that whatever someone has done on earth ends up being of equal value. Dostoevsky, for example, was right to protest against this kind of Heaven and this kind of grace in his novel The Brothers Karamazov. Evildoers, in the end, do not sit at table at the eternal banquet beside their victims without distinction, as though nothing had happened. Here I would like to quote a passage from Plato which expresses a premonition of just judgement that in many respects remains true and salutary for Christians too. Albeit using mythological images, he expresses the truth with an unambiguous clarity, saying that in the end souls will stand naked before the judge. It no longer matters what they once were in history, but only what they are in truth: “Often, when it is the king or some other monarch or potentate that he (the judge) has to deal with, he finds that there is no soundness in the soul whatever; he finds it scourged and scarred by the various acts of perjury and wrong-doing …; it is twisted and warped by lies and vanity, and nothing is straight because truth has had no part in its development. Power, luxury, pride, and debauchery have left it so full of disproportion and ugliness that when he has inspected it (he) sends it straight to prison, where on its arrival it will undergo the appropriate punishment … Sometimes, though, the eye of the judge lights on a different soul which has lived in purity and truth … then he is struck with admiration and sends him to the isles of the blessed”[36]. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (cf. Lk 16:19-31), Jesus admonishes us through the image of a soul destroyed by arrogance and opulence, who has created an impassable chasm between himself and the poor man; the chasm of being trapped within material pleasures; the chasm of forgetting the other, of incapacity to love, which then becomes a burning and unquenchable thirst. We must note that in this parable Jesus is not referring to the final destiny after the Last Judgement, but is taking up a notion found, inter alia, in early Judaism, namely that of an intermediate state between death and resurrection, a state in which the final sentence is yet to be pronounced.

    What you say here remarkably matches an excerpt from a book I have called The Might of the West, regarding a phenomenon known as “Joachimism”. I will post the excerpt from that book here so you can read it (it is quite lengthy):

    [MORE]

    But even before Aquinas was born, an opposition more profound and more enduring than that of Duns Scot had arisen against any attempt to compose a rational Christianity in the West. It was not a formal philosophy but an emotional attitude. By the last quarter of the thirteenth century it was a powerful force, particularly among the extremist Franciscans. As the centuries have passed, it has flourished and withered in Western life, but it has never been entirely absent. In our own time its modem version furnishes the moral self-justification of the most powerful movements on the surface of our politics.

    In the thirteenth century this view of life was called Joachimism. It has since been called many names, millenarianism, utopianism, socialism, international communism, for its outward program has always been in the style of its age. But under these shifts of fashion and intellectual formulae it has been one restless movement driven by the same powerful emotion. It has been built always on the same structural core: a passionate distaste for the kingdoms of this world and a mystical certainty that these wicked kingdoms will soon be replaced through the operations of powers that are not of this world. Whether these powers are given the name “God” or the name “science” has been a difference of time, not of quality. The believers in each age have simply used the word current in their time for the mightiest power they could imagine.

    Joachimism derived its name from Joachim of Floris (d. 1202), founder and abbot of the monastery of San Giovanni in Floris (Fiore) near his birthplace, Celico, in Calabria which—it must be recalled—had been Byzantine territory until 1057. The neat geographical unity of Italy deceives the mind into forgetting that southern Italy and Sicily were not originally Western lands. They were the first conquests of the West from the Levant in the early wars of eleventh and twelfth century imperialism. All the subsequent eastern conquests were lost, Crete, Cyprus, Athens, Constantinople, the countries of Antioch and Edessa, and the kingdom of Jerusalem, leaving southern Italy and Sicily the only Latin conquests still held in the southeast in 1500. From our habit of dating as much as possible about ourselves from the Renaissance, these lands have thus passed into our geographic image as though they were as integrally part of the West as the Rhineland or the Ile de France. At the time of Joachim’s birth, less than a century after the Norman conquest—which merely dotted the territory with Norman castles and Norman lords—Calabria was still a Byzantine land. Even today the Byzantine ritual is followed in some of the churches of southern Italy.

    Joachim’s world views were in essence those of the Sufis and his monastic ideal was that of St. Basil. He divided the history of mankind into three ages, that of the Father—a period of blind obedience ending with Christ, that of the Son coming down slightly past his own time, and that of the Holy Ghost, which was soon to begin. He preached the redemption of the world, not as a transition of the dead to heaven but as a historical fact that was to transform the society of the living. It was to begin about 1260 and convert the earth into one vast Basilean monastery of solitary anchorites— a vision of the anti-clerical socialist state appropriate to his times and background. Accordingly, all the historical structure of the Western world into which the accidents of conquest had brought him to be born, church and state, property and learning, all these were transitory. The age of the Holy Ghost, so soon to start, would render them unnecessary. His version of what would happen to these crude realities of the mundane world was curiously like that of his irreligious intellectual descendant, Marx. Church and state, which Joachim, like Marx, taught had been historically necessary in the earlier periods, would not be violently abolished in the coming age of freedom—plena spiritus libertas—but would quietly wither away.

    Lulled by the innocent gradualism thus asserted, and realizing quite properly that these views had a basis of sorts in scripture, the ecclesiastical authorities during Joachim’s lifetime foresaw nothing of where the application of these principles would lead and his orthodoxy was never questioned prior to his death. By the middle of the thirteenth century, however, a collection of Joachim’s Biblical commentaries—the natural Levantine form in which he expressed his doctrines—under the title Liber Introductorius ad Evangelium aeternum had become the master guide to a wide spread political movement. The Liber Introductorius and its appended commentaries proffered men a method by which the unwritten Eternal Gospel could be read from an understanding of the true spiritual meaning of the Old and New Testaments. Thus could be gained a sure knowledge of the future of mankind here on earth. The necessary understanding could in turn be gained by all those who followed Joachim’s spiritual disciplines and on whom the intelligentia mystica—the ma ’rifat of the Sufis—descended. The Liber Introductorius was banned by Pope Alexander IV in 1255 but it never disappeared from circulation.

    The extremist wing of the Franciscans, the “spirituals,” were profoundly infected by Joachimism and a whole body of ill-defined movements of varying degrees of heresy commonly embraced under the names of Fraticelli and Apostolici proclaimed one or another aspect of Abbot Joachim’s teachings. All were anti-clerical, though some promptly established a hierarchy of their own, even to a pope and an emperor. All were egalitarian in doctrine, denouncing the sinful distinctions of worldly wealth as contrary to apostolic poverty which they felt to be the only manner of earthly life permissible to a true Christian. Furthermore, like their modem derivatives, though possessed of a science that proved the inevitable transformation of society by a power beyond human control, they nevertheless declined to rely on this power, but sought themselves to establish the millennium by direct operations in ecclesiastical and civil politics. Traces of these movements lasted in Italy into the fifteenth century, and in the north the Lollards of England and even the continental Anabaptists of the sixteenth century show many marks of Joachimism.

    Nor was medieval Joachimism, any more than its modem forms, confined to the uneducated. It had its mass appeal as modem socialism does, but its power—its influence on history—lay not in the ephemeral quantity of its adherents but in the quality of a relatively few learned men whose thinking it touched. Even the upper circles of the Franciscans were affected by it and in time this was to play a profound part in the disintegration of the medieval church. …

    The source of Joachimism in the thirteenth century is simple to identify. Its obvious evangelical trappings, its use of the name of God, parallel rather than mask the Levantine origin of its concepts on the nature of the historical world and of the forces operating in that world. With the adherents of the modem variants of millenarianism this simplicity is lacking. All are rationalist—though so was Arnald of Villanova—and many of them profess formal atheism. Since the irreligious of our time do not mean by the word “God” the same concept that the word conveyed to the men of the Middle Ages, this superficial difference in verbal usage permits the moderns to conceal from themselves the historical continuity of their own movement. They thus gain the intoxicating illusion of having freed themselves from the past, an illusion essential to this whole body of emotion.

    But the continuity has not been broken. The meaning of words has changed. What the irreligious conjure in their minds when they use the word “God” is an anthropomorphic demon believed in by those they consider of slightly enfeebled intellect. The name to them is not that of a force—rational or irrational—but of a fantasy whose power is limited to the self-delusion of those who believe in it. Thus when they encounter the word “God” in the writings of the past, such is the image that rises to their minds. It never occurs to them to explore whether their image is an accurate representation of the concept held by others nor whether they themselves do not entertain under another name a concept that in all essentials corresponds to the concept for which the men of the past employed the word “God.”

    This easy word juggling hides from sight the continuity of utopianism—to call the whole movement by the name that even superficially is characteristic of every one of its manifestations, medieval and modem alike. But the continuity exists. Never have the successive believers doubted the tangible existence of the power that was to effect the transformation of the world. Never have they doubted that this power was as real as those they could see about them on the historical earth. Indeed the power upon which they counted to transform society was necessarily more powerful than the apparent forces of the world, for was not the world merely a creation of this power, God in the past, scientific causality in the present? How absurd, then, to offer arguments from the puny experience of life and history against an expectation based upon true knowledge concerning the power that had created the world itself? Thus in each age the believer has had what to him was unchallengeable authority, the one authority of his time that needed no troublesome reasoning on his own part, that could not be confused and compromised by the wearying intractability of mundane affairs. That in modem times the believers call this power “science” does not change its character. In all cases the power is to accomplish in the historical world transformations which the nature and forces of this world forbid. This is magic—the claim to knowledge of a power that causes the flow of events. To call it God does not make it holy. To call it science does not make it rational. To use one name or the other, to alter from age to age the surface aspects of the earthly paradise, even to denounce from age to age one’s own utopian predecessors—none of these shatters the continuing identity.

    It is evident that utopianism falls outside the three great intellectual positions that have constituted Western abstract thought. It has been neither traditional Christian, rational Christian nor pure sceptical rationalism. In fact, it has not been an intellectual position at all. It has never sought a logical consistency within any frame of intellectual or historical reference. It has not needed to because it has been an emotion concerning what ought to happen in the flow of political events, not an attempt to compose an understandable account of the mechanism by which the world endures.

    From the Joachimists to the socialists, the utopian image has always been the image of the Levantine Heavenly Kingdom. In it there is to be neither risk nor want, neither small nor great, and indeed it is an image whose moral validity is accepted far beyond the circle of the Utopians, though only they have ever expected to bring it about as a piece of practical politics in the kingdoms of this world. Thus utopianism, no less than rational and traditional Christian thought, shows the presence in Western life of the values and concepts of the Levant. But there has been an immense
    difference.

    The image of the Heavenly Kingdom as it is set forth in our sacred writings is clear enough. But there is another thing that seems equally clear. This Kingdom is not to be achieved in a life like our own. Beyond the egalitarian standards that have fired the emotions of the Utopians, there are changes exceeding the scope of natural life. There is to be neither marriage nor giving in marriage, neither birth nor death, no one can hunger or thirst or feel the chill of an icy wind. In short, since it cannot exist in this world, it must, we think, either lie beyond the grave or be offered us only as an ideal standard which must be modified to the requirements of earthly life. Such, at least, have been the interpretations of both rational and traditional Christianity in the West, and so long as one vital Levantine concept was ignored these interpretations could stand. But what was ignored in this interpretation of the scriptures was the logical key of the whole image: eschatology. Utopianism, consciously in the past, by almost forgotten tradition in modem times, has grasped that key. Utopianism has been the political struggle of the Western mind with eschatology.

    How about starting a sentence with “As a born and raised Roman Catholic, I…” oh wise one? Do only lying Jews say that too? If that’s the case, what do born and raised Roman Catholics say when they want to start a sentence with “As a born and raised Roman Catholic, I…?

    And what about Christians who want to start a sentence with “As a Christian, I…”? They can never say that, and only lying Jews can?

    I admit that I hadn’t thought that this article might have been written by someone other than PCR, but that is an interesting possibility.

Casting about, anxiously searching for someone or some thing to shift the blame over onto – and I suspect that the ‘Suicide Meme’ might be the strategy that they decided to run with.

    It’s the difference between a psychopath and a gentleman. Reminds me of a movie scene:

    Bad guy: You won’t hurt me.

    I hear what you are saying here, but just because he said “baby boomer filth” doesn’t mean he would treat every or even any individual boomer as filth. Perhaps you are identifying too strongly as a boomer. The argument isn’t too far different than if we say blacks are violent, and then someone says, “Hey, asshole! That isn’t fair. They cannot help what race they were born into. You have to assess each one individually rather than speaking about the group as a whole.”

    Each generational cohort, a truly socially constructed set of groups, has its own downfalls. Look at the state of the West. I am white and want to see our people succeed, but if someone tells me “Your men are gay, and your women are whores,” I would simply agree. I do not feel individually injured just because I am a white man.”

    Boomers are singled out because they were born into an era of comparatively plenty (vs today). They could get a factory job with just a high school diploma and work it through to retirement. It was far easier to find a wife versus today, which is a really big problem with gen Z. If you are a boomer, you likely don’t act as the group many see today as the first generation to choose to spend all their assets traveling while leaving their children nothing. They are the last generation to grow up in America as it was before the cultural revolution of the 60’s that saw the young rebel against the traditions of their parents. They are the ones that tell younger generations, “Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and make something of yourself in the job market. You can easily find a good wife at church. That’s what I did, but you want something for nothing.”

    I agree that any generation would have done the same (or worse, honestly) as the boomers if they grew up in that time. I say possibly worse because each generation experiences the effects of dysgenic fertility. Just look at the masses of degenerates in the trans movement or whatever blue haired fat woman.

    In summary, the young may say “fucking boomer” to the older generation as a way of expressing frustration at a situation. Instead of taking offense, which does divide, be understanding, as you are the experienced with knowledge to share. Just say, “Yeah, fuck those boomers” and then ask him “Why is your generation so fake and gay?” Lol

    What was the Renaissance:

    Actually, the first sack of Constantinople took place two and a half centuries before, in 1204. It was perpetrated by crusaders who pretended to be going to the Holy Land. The truth is that they were hired by the Venetian merchants and bankers to destroy Constantinople (actually the real Rome) and thus provide Venice a monopoly in the Mediterranean trade. Many educated Romans fled Constantinople for Italian cities, bringing the knowledge and the skills hitherto unknown there. Not surprisingly, in the following decades first Italian universities were established, the style of painting and sculpture changed (did somebody mention the horses of st. Mark’s stolen from Constantinople?), and the industries of silk and glass were established in Florence and Venice. The resulting boost of the level of civilization in the peninsula was nicknamed “the Renaissance”, although the term “the pillage of wealth and knowledge” would be more appropriate.

    So your gripe with the Renaissance stems from the fact that what you call a color revolution came from the Greater Balkans or Greater Greece.

    But if Greece is western civilization then Constantinople is also.

    I’m not going to worry about all the other things you mentioned, some of which I can see as a bitter pessimistic perspective on which reasonable minds can disagree, but it is likely more valid to the man of 1,000 years ago looking into the future.

    However, saying something like “There is no ‘white race’” surely is more than a bit disingenuous. If we go far into the past, yes, the English viewed the Irish lowly. Go back further, and this proto-Englishman’s clan sees another proto-English clan as vermin. The argument you are making sounds suspiciously like the Jewish academic argument against race in which they define it out of existence merely because they are clinal without distinct borders between them.

    Surely, you know what is meant by “the white race,” and you know that while the lines are being drawn around a much larger group than the Nordics or the Anglos, it is nonetheless a real thing. The war against us has gone global. We value all the white races as “us” in the sense that this large group comprised of all the “races of Europe” is far more similar to its various further divisions than it does with the various black and brown races. Ashkenazi Jews are excluded at least in part because of their hostility to the existence of all the others.

    Speaking of the global nature of the issue, the various white races/ethnicities have had so much admixture between them that if we went with the view of races of 500 years ago, I suppose Americans would mostly be mutts. But we are all under attack as a group.

    I am sure in a nonsensical future reality in which we were invaded multiple times by various alien species from other galaxies, then the notion of “the human race” would be much more valid. We would have far more in common with all the races of man than any hostile alien race. In that scenario, the group that is humans would still be a valid construct.

    Then someone like you could say, “Oh that isn’t even a real thing, the human race. Back in the day there used to be Caucasoids and Negroids and Mongoloids and what not. Your fight is lost, humans. Accept your fate as conquered by us… I mean by the Jews!!!”

    “This is typical of anti-Semitic paranoia …”

    What are you referring to when you say “this”?

    “Neither will Judaized Protestantism …”

    Do you mean Protestantism that has been Judaized, or Protestantism per se?

    ” … mangles all the references to the advent of Christ in the Old Testament.”

    Could you give some examples?

    “America was founded on Jewish ideas.”

    I would say the central ideas upon which the US was founded were individual freedom, individual rights, self-government, the rule of law, and nationalist self-determination.

    How are those ideas Jewish?

    ” … reembraced Europe’s Christian roots.”

    Europe’s roots weren’t just Christian. They included the pagan Greeks, Romans and Germanic/Nordic peoples. European civilization has mainly been a synthesis of classical and Christian civilization. That is the source of its greatness.

    “There is no ‘white race.’”

    There are three races: Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid. This was accepted by anthropologists until the Jews took over anthropology. Whites are Caucasians.

    “If you make mistakes like identifying … half-Jews as ‘typical Jews’ …”

    I’m not sure what you’re referring to here. Adorno considered himself Jewish. I don’t regard him as a typical Jew.

    “‘White Europe’ died because Europe denounced Christendom and went back to paganism beginning with the Renaissance and the depredations of the papacy.”

    I would say the Renaissance represented a synthesis of Christianity and Classicism, not a rejection of anything. It did not cause the death of white people.

    And the Judaizing you appear to blame on Protestants began when Roman Catholic rulers made Jews a part of their courts, gave them privileges not given to their non-Jewish subjects, and used them as tax farmers. Unless I’m mistaken, this happened before the Renaissance.

    “‘White nationalism’ is simply the frustrated, impotent scream of a civilization that has committed suicide.”

    White nationalism is a simple recognition of the fact that multiculturalism doesn’t work. It rejects an imperialism (or “white supremacy”) that creates multiracial empires that eventually collapse and leave in their wake conflicted nations full of people who can’t identify with or get along with each other.

    This is perfectly consistent with God’s destruction of the Tower of Babel and his separation of different peoples into different nations. And it is not at all inconsistent with God’s desire to save all persons and all peoples.

    The United States has been a “great experiment” in the sense that its leaders – heavily influenced by Jews – rejected it founders intention that only whites should be citizens. European leaders – likewise heavily influenced by Jews – have also chosen the multicultural path.

    Has this been working out well in the US? In Europe? People will have different opinions about that. But the opinion of white nationalists is not given a fair hearing. To me, this alone is sufficient to show that the “great experiment” might well be a great failure.

    Rebuttal:

    1) Search for “rebuttal” and you will find several.

    2) Locke wrote that the productive people in a country must, in addition to pursuing a vocation and being a good steward themselves, must organize and fund forces to suppress robbery by finding and punishing robbers. Analogically, Locke said that a farmer must do more than clear land, plow, sow, and harvest, but must also kill weeds and insects lest his fields be overgrown. The rancher must also kill predators lest his herds be killed.

    In practice, this the Enlightenment succeeded only in Protestant lands where vocation and suppression of sin and good stewardship is a religious duty. That’s right, the Enlightenment worked only in lands populated by “religious fanatics” who destroy the lives (lives of robbery) of those who are not “religious fanatics”. Yes, that was true in all of Europe and the UK. Catholic countries didn’t prosper economically, Protestant countries did. Some non-Protestant countries (remember, the religion of the ruler was the religion of the country) actually invited in colonies of Protestants to serve as specialist craftsmen that were tasked with providing specialist goods to the country’s armed forces.

    And some of the Protestant countries invited in necessarily unskilled “guest workers” and also fought among themselves. And those two activities ended the Enlightenment. The democratic governments noted that the guest workers could vote and competed for that vote with money taken from the Protestant population. The fights between Protestant countries ended with the World War era (UK & allies vs. Germany & allies). the WW era showed that “self improvement” and “productivity” and a “strong government” was just a way to get sent to the front and killed by people you saw only during trench raids. Most killing was by artillery fire, no chance to even fight, just die.

    So the productive gave up on a strong government that would suppress robbers, and tried to make the robbers into productive citizens by not punishing them, while increasing penalties for the “privileged” productive citizens (anarcho-tyranny).

    And the idea of “vocation” or “calling” was rendered ridiculous by the rise of the giant corporation and Fordism. Obeying orders replaced “vocation”.

    What part did the Jewish faction play in this? Essentially, the Jewish faction suppressed Christianity of all kinds. That eliminated religious sanctions for being unproductive. Further, the Talmidic assertion that Christians existed to be robbed gave religious sanction to robbery and lying, at least of non-Jews by Jews.

    The Catholic and Orthodox factions in the US favored confession and absolution over punishment.

    The above post-WW I and WW-II introduction ended Lockean society in the US and Europe. It was replaced by the political machine (again, see Plunkitt’s book, Project Gutenberg) of highly organized robbery and theft.) which evolved into the Obama dictatorship, the BLM fraud, DIE, and the ESG fraud.

    So, the problem was not entirely the Jewish faction, but that faction was a large part of the problem.

    Trump is attempting to restart the Lockean State. He is doing so because the current anarcho-tyranny threatens to make industrial society non-viable. Trump will have to somehow increase total fertility rate in at least the US for his effort to succeed, will have to change the US legal system to punish robbery and fraud as opposed to pursuing lawfare, and will have to suppress Talmudic Jewish influence as well. It’s quite a challenge.

After that, yids, as the hidden hands, fostered the Boer wars, created concentration camps. The British fought to give yid interests control of gold and diamond extraction. They still held a monopoly until recently, but from recent reading, pajeets (Indians) also have partial control now.

    However, the Afrikaners are just as much native to the place as the darker homo erectus tribes who moved into the place from the north at roughly the same time as the Afrikaners moved from the south.

    Your take is interesting.

    I’ll read up more on it, but I was aware there was all kinds of hysteria in those days.

    That apocalyptic world view was a function of debt polarization. The people of the region were reduced to debt serfdom.

    At the same time, Rome was also indebting its periphery, to pay its Oligarchs at the center.

    The Pharisee class had also created its own debtors, who they were milking. In the meantime, they were virtue signaling and hiding behind their religious robes.

    If you have any doubt that the general ruling order of the day, was the Aiparu and debt generation, then study Trajan’s Parthian war.

    When Trajan went north, he interdicted the routes, and the Aiparu/Hebrew money making usury scheme. (Silver fetches 3X the gold in India; control the routes then control the money.) The word went out to massacre Goy’s, and Greeks became the target. The Jews massacred about 10,000 Greeks, mostly in an area now occupied by Turkey (Anatolia). They didn’t go after the Romans as much, because they would get their ass kicked.

    Later, when Rome marched into Jerusalem, not a peep. NOT A PEEP! The real rulers at the time of Jesus were the money changers, and especially the donkey caravanners -the Aiparu/Haibaru – who were operating in the background, pulling strings This merchant class was especially sociopathic.

    Debt servitude is the exact template that Jews use today, nothing has really changed. Jesus lost the battle, when his religion was converted to judeo christianity. This conversion happened after his death.

    Jacob having 12 sons. One ends up in Egypt and becomes a big shot. His eleven brothers join him.

    The Egypt story is likely BS. It is the Aiparu, who are merchant sociopaths, being butt-hurt about a god-king city state that rejects them.

    Haibaru were already “international” criminal syndicate around the time of Egypt god-kings; the merchant class operated in the entrepot cities of that era. Being called “minor merchant” is the Egyptians being condescending to Jew ancestors.

    Entrepot is something like Tatooine in star wars, and place between the city-states, a place that is somewhat lawless. Mecca and Medina were entrepot cities on the routes, and this is how future Muslims came to hate the Jews. The international Jew criminal was taking his hidden usury gains, working his thick as thieves crime in-group, and attempting to debt harvest people of the region.

    Egyptians used clay shards as their money. The clay shard was scribed by the Temple priests, with how much grain was in the silos. There are literally millions of these shards found.

    In other words, the Egyptian farming class were focused like a laser on their grain stores. They had constant feedback in the form of their money. This is why they loved cats, because the cats would eat the rats and mice, who protected the grain. No Jews needed to tell the Egyptians how to store their grain and be ready for lean years. Somebody is blowing smoke up somebody’s ass, and I think the Jews are the smoke blowers.

    The Aiparu were gold worshipers, the Egyptians had barley as money.

    The original barley cults created the Jew, when they allowed the merchant to denominate debts in gold. Gold was used for merchant long distance trade, and the temple priests would balance gold nuggets on a balance beam. To this day, gold is still measured as grains, specifically barley grains.

    You have to deconvolute what parts of the Bible are BS, and who and when changed narratives. Humans are narrative animals. The one constant is this desire of all deformed humanity is emergence of a “creditor class” to indebt others, creating a permanent wealth transfer mechanism. Only an “non enlightenment” civilization can do that. Only a non enlightenment civilization can have periodic dictatorships, to then wipe the slate clean.

    For post-enlightenment-west the future is clear; that would mean periodic dictatorships, to then release debts and kill the predators. Before, when authority just ejected predatory Jews, that was enough, but today it is impossible due to a general brainwashing of modern man; especially post enlightenment man.

    I’m American, my fellows are the most brainwashed people on the planet. They don’t know left from right, and up from down, which is why it is Clownworld.

    People like PCR read Hudson, but apparently have not comprehending what Hudson was laying down. European man did NOT have a tradition of barley cult civilizations, nor did he have money.

    The original European man was a pastoralist, not a hunter gatherer, and he followed the herds. He did not settle down to farming and was slow to understand the Jew merchant class, who had already developed his predatory ways. (The temple priests invented money, barley money.) Pastoralists used credits/debts, not money.

    Settling down to farming was a big bang event.

    The first time I became aware of Hypatia was actually from reading Revilo Oliver. And since then, anytime her name is brought up, I think of this passage:

    Although the “liberal” and Marxist cults have doctrinal differences as great as those that separate Lutherans from Baptists, they are basically the same superstition, and whether or not we should call them religions depends on whether we restrict the word to belief in supernatural persons or extend it to include all forms of blind faith based on emotional excitement instead of observed facts and reason. When those “atheistic” cults scream out their hatred of “Fascists” and “Nazis,” they obviously must believe that those wicked persons are possessed of the Devil and should therefore be exterminated to promote holiness and love. And when they see “racists,” who impiously substitute fact and reason for unthinking faith in approved fairy stories, their lust to extirpate evil is as great as that of the Christian mob that dragged the fair and too-intelligent Hypatia from her carriage and lovingly used oyster shells to scrape the flesh from her bones while she was still alive.

    If you start a sentence with “as a Christian” and the rest of your sentence bears no relation whatsoever with anything written in the New Testament then it is highly likely that you only pretend to be Christian. Then if on top of that, you use “as a Christian” as an introduction to laud Jews or to attack people that Jews don’t like, it is highly likely that you aren’t Christian at all and that you are in fact a Jew. Given that here on TUR, commenters who start sentences with “as a Christian” never do it to quote the New Testament but always do it to defend Jewish interests, I think that it is reasonable to infer that none of them is actually Christian and that all of them are actually Jews of the worst kind aka Zionists.

    The Jews have had a big hand in f-ing up America but our goy politicians are great at f-ing things up all by themselves.

    That has to be right. In 1965 they could have said that American citizens were everyone living in the US in 1965 and their descendants. IOW Problem solved by recognizing the Founders, the Natives and Africans a slave descent. Everyone else who came later is a foreign resident on a work contract with no political rights.

    It’s very important to define who a country belongs to. It’s people’s security in a not so friendly world.

  348. Priss Factor: “The Inquisition and other Christian moral panics say the West had quasi-woke madness long before secular ideologies.”

    The American Civil War-era abolitionists were the forbears of today’s anti-racists. That war is best viewed as a religious dispute between two factions, a Christian North and an equally Christian South. Christians have been turning on each other from the beginning. For most of history, they’d kill each other faster than you can say “Albigensian crusade”, or “Thirty Years War”. The woke denunciation of society PCR is complaining about is just post-Enlightenment morality showing its Christian roots. As I said above in #314, Christianity’s a revolutionary creed that is inherently suspicious, even of its own members; always looking for a Devil to fight. It must find “sin” and root it out in order to prove its virtue to itself. If the sins don’t exist, they’ll be invented; hallucinated, like “structural racism”.

    The United States has been a “great experiment” in the sense that its leaders – heavily influenced by Jews – rejected it founders intention that only whites should be citizens. European leaders – likewise heavily influenced by Jews – have also chosen the multicultural path.

    And yet a large number of Hebroid-collaborating, north American Caucasoids imported untold numbers of Negroids as slaves. This was a Zionist time bomb guaranteed to go off.

    The Golden Calf Hebroid has always had a centrally-controlled, fiat money creating headquarters in its Satanic mind. And it knew that only the authentic Jews had the integrity to pull it off. So it followed them around like parasites, tightening its noose as they went, eventually putting them in a kind of Stokholm syndrome state.

    Recall what Jesus said in Mathew 23: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2023&version=NIV

    16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.”

    He’s saying it takes national and institutional integrity to establish the value of what that nation or institution produces, and if that nation or institution is corrupted, then the value of what it produces is diminished.

    These Hebroid parasites and their collaborators are leeches, mooches, corruptors, desecrators, and Satanists (sociopaths/psychopaths). They follow around Christian people of integrity, sucking out their lifeblood. That includes the Zionist scum who imported the Negroid slaves.

    Destroying the Satanists isn’t just job one, it is the only job. But they and the world must know why they’re being destroyed as a warning to any other would-be Satanists: this is coming your way if you ever mess with the Christ or his Laws, scumbag.

    Yes, surely the downfall of Western Civilization is a Bad Thing. Let’s see whether we can find someone to blame. First, I guess, to do that, we have to find out when it happened.

    Did it happen in the 5th Century when the blood-thirsty wilderness slaughter-god of the Jews was attached to the Jesus of the Christians and the Old Testament was given equal divine authority with the New? That has had a catastrophic effect on Western Civilization.

    Did it happen in 1913 when international Jewish bankers took control of the nation’s money? It would be another 47 years before I would be born. It hardly seems fair to blame me for that.

    Did it happen in 1914, when the Jewish owned press whipped up WWI?

    Did it happen in 1965 when the Jews succeeded in getting the nation-killing Immigration and Nationality Act was passed? I was only five. But you want to blame me for that?

    I don’t know, but if you look hard enough, you might be able to spot the real culprit behind the “downfall of Western Civilization.” Of course, identifying those people requires some effort and courage and you won’t be getting any pats on the head from your contemporaries like you do when you bash boomers.

With Dispensationalism, they actually have gotten in bed with the very people that want to destroy them.

    …Jürgen Habermas who was associated with the Frankfurt School holds views in opposition to the others, and was a member of the NSDAP. He is very much worth studying.

    During a long public dispute in western Germany in the late 1980s, prior to the breaching of the Berlin Wall, which he waged in opposition to the views of historian Ernst Nolte, Habermas was on the wrong side of the issue, pertaining to the role of the Jewish holocaust narrative in contemporary German self-conception. This became even more evident years later, when more details about that historical topic were revealed. The controversy was triggered by President Reagan’s visit to the Bitburg cemetery, which US media made a big deal about. The subsequent dispute is described in detail in the following Wikipedia entry:

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

    From an objective perspective, also much more clear in retrospect, Habermas discredited himself again during the Corona mass hysteria with an essay. I briefly referred to that in comments at this site (May 6, 2023 at 10:08 am GMT • 1.9 years ago) in the context of criticizing Chomsky, including on the Corona lockdown issue:

    Interestingly, another “leftist” cult figure, Jürgen Habermas, a European social theorist who helped promote “critical theory”, had expressed a similar perspective in an essay that appeared in September 2021. Not only did he support the heavy-handed lockdown measures, he opined that in Germany the restrictions didn’t go far enough. Essentially, he thus rejected the validity of one of the key premises of the EU Constitution.

    https://www.unz.com/kbarrett/chomskys-ties-to-jeffrey-epstein-and-suspected-9-11-mastermind-ehud-barak-exposed/?showcomments#comment-5948490

    Habermas has thus clearly distinguished himself as an advocate for authoritarianism. An example of his attitude was expressed in the following passage, in which he denigrated and denounced those millions of informed and concerned people who were on the correct side of the controversy:

    Google translation:
    I mean the politically aggressive and conspiracy-theory-based denial of the pandemic-related risks of infection and mortality. Because of their right-wing extremist core, the pseudo-liberal protests of the corona deniers against the supposedly conspiratorial measures of a supposedly authoritarian government are not just a symptom of repressed fears, but also signs of the growing potential of a completely new, libertarian-influenced centrist extremism that will continue to preoccupy us for some time to come.

    Original:
    – ich meine die politisch aggressive und verschwörungstheoretisch begründete Verleugnung der pandemiebedingten Infektions- und Sterberisiken. Wegen ihres rechtsradikalen Kerns sind die scheinliberal begründeten Proteste der Corona-Leugner gegen die vermeintlich konspirativen Maßnahmen einer angeblich autoritären Regierung nicht nur ein Symptom für verdrängte Ängste, sondern Anzeichen für das wachsende Potential eines ganz neuen, in libertären Formen auftretenden Extremismus der Mitte, der uns noch länger beschäftigen wird.

They’ll claim they believe in “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, racial and sexual equality, that stealing and lying is wrong, “human rights”, and much of the rest of the Christian baggage. They are more Christian than they know, and more than you are inclined to admit.

  380. All complex systems have hierarchy and an authority centers.

    Confirming such basic realities certainly does not contradict what I had written. Since the term “authoritarian” derives from the word “authority”, it contains no inherent value judgement. What matters is to which specific ends the authority is utilized.

    My point in attributing “authoritarianism” to Habermas, based on his advocacy of allowing politicians in power to exert control over a person’s individual body (in blatant violation of the German and European constitution), was to highlight his own hypocrisy or inconsistency because it was he who had intended to associate the German word “autoritären” in a negative light. Thereby, he had inappropriately denigrated his opponents (whose expressed position was objectively correct in a factual, moral, legal, and scientific sense) for justifiably criticizing the untenable (basically illegal) position that he became guilty of promoting.

    This aspect is also relevant in the context of the sociology book from 1950, The Authoritarian Personality, by Adorno et alia, cited in comment #287 and #297 above, whose publication had been sponsored by the American Jewish Committee and which concepts became a key pillar of cultural Marxism advocacy at universities.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Authoritarian_Personality
    &
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_personality

    The point of my previous comment in this thread, which you did not address, was to emphasize that Habermas was indeed aligned with the pernicious aspects of the Frankfurter School, even though he had a non-Jewish upbringing. I mentioned his position during the German historian dispute, in which he firmly embraced the standard holocaust narrative at a time after its premises had been challenged in the 1985 Zündel trial in Toronto, though the revelations that emerged from those proceedings were not widely publicized. Habermas also rejected the obvious implications of the effects of spreading pre-war Bolshevism, which affected German perceptions at that time.

    A few years later Habermas expressed opposition to the German unification process in 1990, which was initially actively resisted by Thatcher, Mitterand, Gorbachev, organized Jewry in the United States and the German Green Party, though ultimately the determination of chancellor Kohl, along with a majority of other Germans, and the support of President GHW Bush prevailed. Apologists for Habermas claim that he was opposed for procedural or technically legal reasons, but this is simply a common explanatory mechanism that is invoked to forestall or prevent an undesirable outcome.

    In summary, Habermas, through his influence, was effective in advancing the pathological German self-negation and extreme nihilism that still characterizes at least 40% – if not the majority – of contemporary German society, as evidenced by still welcoming mass migration of Muslims after more than a decade, cutting off inexpensive energy supplies, rapid de-industrialization, supporting Israeli genocide in Gaza, characterizing previously uncontroversial and normal positions as “extremist” in hopes of banning what is now Germany’s biggest political party (according to recent polling of popular sentiment), and promulgating other forms of social decomposition, including transgenderism.

    As in the case of Chomsky, one could debate whether Habermas also deserves the attribute pseudo-intellectual, which could be seen as a euphemism for the popular term con-artist.

    Enlightenment failure:

    As I’ve written above, the Enlightenment was never supposed to be an all-encompasing philosophy/religion of life. It was, in embryo, just a way to stop the general European war of the early AD 1600s.
    The grew from there by developing the European “independent business” modeled after the independent Norse Viking/trader ports of the AD 500s. Essentially, the European nobility along the European coastline found that it was better off taxing the Viking settlements than trying to destroy them, and the Vikings discovered that paying taxes was better than even intermittent fighting to preserve their settlement port. Eventually, the European rulers found that guilds could be taxed and left alone, just like Vikings, and that the tax money could be used to finance wars, giving a military advantage to rulers that taxed. Eventually, this led to the observations of Hobbes and Locke.

    This contrasts with the Chinese model. The closest China came to a Viking analog was Japanese pirates, and as far as I know the Japanese pirates were never taxed but were destroyed. Consequently, the Chinese central government held traders and primary producers (peasants) in low regard instead of valuing them as tax producers who also increased the general welfare.

    Hobbes and Locke were not the only drivers of the Enlightenment. There was also the development of Newtonian physics, the steam engine, Chemistry and the periodic table, eventually quantum theory and the solid state electronics that theory made possible. In other words, the extension of science made possible new engineering that increased the benefits of the Enlightenment.

    Previously I’ve mentioned the growth of robbers as a cause for the Enlightenment’s failures. Yet another cause is the failure of science and. Science has been killed; it is no longer productive. The NASA fraud illustrates how that happened. Essentially, government (the robbers) took a field that was highly promising (in this case communication/weather satellites), promised to give the field “government money”, and proceeded to kill the field by transforming it into patronage jobs and patronage awards to politically captive companies (e.g. Thiokol, Boeing). This killed booster development after ~1970 until Space-X demonstrated a re-usable booster. After ~1970 (after the 1960s) Physics was neutralized by only funding string theory and quantum gravity, two fields that on the face of it are either not subject to experiment and have not to date produced useful results.

    As a result, the ability of science to produce new resources and capabilities is greatly diminished. Scientific progress was effectively shut down after the development of solid state electronics. Consequently the benefits of science to humanity are also shut down, and the new resources that it could have developed remain unavailable.

    Enlightenment failure as above also explains the sub-replacement Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in all industrialized countries (yes, even the industrialized Islamic countries). Seldom mentioned is that the best predictor of TFR is women’s preferred number of babies. Women have to solve the “clutch problem”, named after the decisions made by seasonally breeding female birds as to number of eggs. Too many and it is impossible to feed them, so the entire clutch is lost. Too many, and reproductive fitness is lowered.

    The current state of the Enlightenment (yes, that includes all industrialized countries, even China and Japan) means a sub-replacement TFR. Resources take more labor, corporations find that less and less of their labor is productive in that more labor is required to make the same old low-profit goods (so everything becomes cheap and flimsy, but at new high prices). Also, the government insists on more and more corporate patronage jobs (DIE, ESG, civil rights jobs) to ensure political stability. At some point, hiring workers becomes unprofitable, the company has become a welfare agency, and the young are no longer hired. Boeing would be a current US example. The firm continues by “financialization” (borrowing against anticipated profits and spending that unproductively). Women notice that, solve their clutch problem for current conditions, and reduce their “clutch size”, the number of babies that they prefer. Bingo, you have a future demographic labor shortage coupled with current youth unemployment.

    Again, note that domination of government by robbers causes this TFR crisis through making science and engineering unproductive through “clean graft”, and that this “clean graft” is tolerated or even encouraged by the major Christian religions and by Islam. For one example, consider the evolution of Puritanism into Unitarianism.

    It is no accident that Pres. Trump’s first move was to find diversion of funds to patronage in the Federal Government. I suspect that patronage will be drastically curtailed in the near future.

    PornHub, one of the largest porn sites is owned and operated by a jewi$h rabbi and his wife.
    Ever wonder where LGBTQXYZ originated?
    According to jewi$h teachings, there are 8 genders within humanity, not just 2.
    The outright promotion of the LGBTQXYZ “lifestyles” and the demand jews make on “the rest of us” for not only tolerance but acceptance of perverse and vile behavior has its roots in jewish talmudic rabbinical teachings.
    The talmud contains in fact no less than eight gender designations including: 
    1. Zachar, male.
    2. Nekevah, female.
    3. Androgynos, having both male and female characteristics.
    4. Tumtum, lacking sexual characteristics.
    5. Aylonit hamah, identified female at birth but later naturally developing male characteristics.
    6. Aylonit adam, identified female at birth but later developing male characteristics through human intervention.
    7. Saris hamah, identified male at birth but later naturally developing female characteristics.
    8. Saris adam, identified male at birth and later developing female characteristics through human intervention.
    Note that #6 and #8 are achieved through human surgical intervention.
    This is the source for today’s perversion of the genders…

    Q: if there is a “birth dearth” and a shortage of young people, why are today’s youth not offered high salaries by companies competing for their services and future potential?

    History: The current system has to make more output with less input of raw materials. This has required more engineers/designers and tighter controls of manufacturing processes (to reduce scrap), which in turn drafted women and minorities into the clerical positions and eventually into management positions. Additional government demands for corporate patronage jobs further increased staff and (through sheer ineptitude) decreased profits (from which come salaries).

    A: The above left no money for hiring and training today’s youth, hence the sad state of the youth employment market. In fact, corporations today have very low real profits, they use “financialization” to borrow on future income and reduce expenditures on future production (e.g. Intel, Boeing) to produce the illusion of profits, which they then largely give to themselves.

    But demographics moves on. Youth with no job is youth with no money is youth that does not get married and has no children. When today’s Youth is 25 years older, then today’s 40 year-olds will be retiring (40+25= 65) and today’s youth, then 45 years old (20+25=45), will still be outside the corporations looking in, unskilled and useless as a labor force. Further, the 25 year-old sons of “todays’ youth” won’t exist (or will be very very few), as “todays’ youth” had not given birth to more than a few of them.

    In summary, the combination of corporate patronage jobs for the old with unemployment for the youth will result in a corporation that cannot hire the workforce it needs to operate. This is the US situation and, apparently, the situation of EastAsia and the industrialized Islamic world as well. Apparently both Europe and the Russian Federation are in the same trap. So, even if the corporations could somehow raid staff from the rest of the world, they would find no staff to raid as the rest of the world would be in the same demographic sink.

    So now you see why Trump is reducing headcount, and why Musk fired 80% or so of X staff. It is essential to reduce staff and produce real profits to avoid the above demographic trap. The avoidance is brutal, but less so than the demographic trap.

    It is the material conditions of the environment and the material conditions of production available for for producing the necessities of life life tHAT ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR the relations man establishes between himself and others and the material world that in turn is the foundation for consciousness.

    It is the hierarchy of prepotent needs Maslow identifies that propel humans to act to satisfy them that establish the relationships they will form with the modes of production and other men that operate so that the lower level needs must be regularly satisfied before the higher level need asserts itself as a motivational force.

    Indeed, as Fromm points out, Marx’s central criticism of capitalism is not the injustice in the distribution of wealth; it is in the perversion (e.a.) of labor into forced, alienated, meaningless labor, hence the transformation of man into a ‘crippled monstrosity’ (Erich Fromm, Marx’s Concept of Man. ((new York: Frederick Ungar Publishing Co., New York), p. 42).

    This perversion is created by a system in which a few thousand plutocrat capitalists can satisfy their highest level prepotent needs and even new whimsical ones they imagine like gender transformation and homosexuality while the mass of humanity struggle to satisfy their most prepotent physiological and safety needs.

    The crucial variable is prior offenses. It’s not whether the offense is the same one; it’s if the offenders have a criminal history. In my time as a public defender in a very white area it was axiomatic that judges and prosecutors were more than willing to work with first offenders by approving or proposing very lenient treatment. If someone reoffended he faced harsher treatment. A man who sold coke to an undercover officer and who had a long criminal history was offered a very long sentence by way of a plea bargain. The prosecutor wouldn’t budge.

    So the idea that blacks are handed stiffer sentences because of their skin color is pathetic. Actually, it’s patently dishonest. The criminal justice system (outside of the realm of politics and Soros subversion) is reasonable, practical, and generally fair. It’s expensive for state and local governments to incarcerate people and it’s almost certain to be a last resort.

    Genes can be passed on to perpetuate the species even though individual members do not pass on their own genes. It is not hard to understand.

    In a bee hive, the queen alone breeds. All the worker bees in the hive are her daughters. They share about 50% of the genes with their mother and siblings. When the Queen bee produces future fertile queens and drones (fertile males), they are siblings of the infertile worker bees and share 50% of their genes. Yet the worker bees live all their lives contributing to the welfare of the hive because the future queens and drones will have a chance to perpetuate their line. If these future fertile siblings leave the hive and produce progeny of their own, the new progeny will have only 25% of the original worker bee’s genes. Yet they still do it. Why? It is for the good of the collective, and the individual is part of the collective.

    What is a species of bees but a collection of collectives?

    Starvation (population increasing to the point the resources the environment being insufficient to feed the population) is a certain mechanism for ending overstressing of the environment.

    Yes, that is also another viable mechanism.

    The risk here, is that when the food source falls drastically low, the entire species dies out, and not just proportion of them.

    Not all species rely on the same mechanisms to perpetuate themselves. Some do it by self regulation, and some leave it to chance as you have alluded to.

    You are obviously missing the key condition that it is not the males engaging in reproductive activity that is essential for maintaining the population of a group but the number of child bearing females available for engaging in reproduction who can be fertilized by a single male without the participation of any other male member that is essential for promoting population growth.

    This is a correct point.

    But there are issues with your statement.

    1. Your assessment is limited to homosexuality in males. Females too may be homosexual.

    2. Your assessment is limited only one mechanism available to a species to limit reproduction. Homosexuality is but one possible such mechanism, there are others which may be linked.
    2a. Another certain linked mechanism is affluence. It is shown empirically that reproduction rates in human societies fall as affluence rises. Again this is probably the result of unconscious species self limiting phenomenon. When a society is poor, there is a corresponding high child death rate. Parents produce more children so that some may survive into adulthood. In societies where almost all children survive, there is less pressure to produce more children. I note that few people think about it in terms of survival of the species, but only on purely selfish terms. Yet it works as a self limiting mechanism for the human species as a whole.
    2b. Incidentally, the incidence of homosexuality also rises with affluence in a society. Generally speaking, the richer countries are also the ones where there is a higher incidence of homosexual practice.

    How can homosexuality be ‘whimsical’ when so many deranged, hate-crazed, bigots like YOU still exist? It’s a very hard slog.

    How can homosexuality be ‘whimsical’ when so many deranged, hate-crazed, bigots like YOU still exist? It’s a very hard slog.

    When only 3% of a population engage in a behavior that is the critical condition establishing whether a group sustains itself as a specifies by reproduction, the behavior of 3% of the group that does not serve that purpose is not the default condition as the physiological needs of members of the group reflected by the 97% that engages in heterosexual activity that is in fact targeted to enabling the group to sustain itself.

    It is, instead the contrary behavior of the 3% that is aberrant to the default condition of the group, and you denouncing me for recognizing the fact that it is default condition for the members of a group that is the natural norm governing their behavior and that the practices of the mere 3% are a whimsical notion they have about how to behave.

    The behavior of 3% is not and never will n be the norm, but y0ur view on this represents the Nazi thought police that seeks to impose its views and the vast majority that rejects it in their acting in accord with the default condition that nature prescribes that is designed to propagate the species and not the whimsical notion that only 3% subscribe to that they wish to pretend is some sort of default condition.

    The fact is humans have the capability to engage in a vast range of behaviors. But the fact that a human can do something is not something a human being must do, and in many cases it is precisely what a human being must avoid doing.

    That, indeed is the purpose of the norms of a group or society – identifying the things people should and should not do, to maintain the unity and cohesion of the group. Thus, for example anyone can kill someone. But that cannot be the default condition for a group because it would then quickly destroy it.

    I don’t give a shit if someone want to engage in homosexual practices. But don’t try imposing on me your fiction that it is some kind of default condition of mankind. It’s not. But if you want to engage in your whimsical fantasies, be my guest as long as you recognize it’s not and never will be the default condition for humanity.

    This is a lovely quote:

    We see the world not as it is, but as we are.
    ~ Anais Nin

    Yet we are not slaves to our circumstances. We have agency. So we actually choose the lens with which to view the world.

    reveals how little he really knows or demonstrates his engaging in gas lighting:

    2a. Another certain linked mechanism is affluence. It is shown empirically that reproduction rates in human societies fall as affluence rises. Again this is probably the result of unconscious species self limiting phenomenon.

    Actually, the drop in reproduction rates is coterminous with increased productive of the means of production that reduces the demands for labor to produce the necessities of life and the decrease in infant mortality rates with the rise in sanitation that reduced the extent to which diseased killed off people in general, particularly infant. Thus with far shorter life expectancies, a couple had to produce more infants to be sure enough would survive to support them in old age.

    Moreover, with children being a very good work force in agrarian societies, the more children a farmer had the easier it was to keep a farm operating.

    That has plunged to near zero with today’s farm machinery, so that having more children is no longer a blessing but a burden on the parents.

    Your arguments are becoming increasingly more silly.

    I am appending to my comment #445 that I will definitely recognize homosexuality to be ,ore than a whimsical notion when you identify for me the gene(s) embed in a person’s consciousness the need to engage in such activities. Otherwise its merely a choice people make about how to behave that others are as free to assess however they like, just as people are free to choose whether they like red or white.

    So identify for me the gene(s) that compel individuals to engage in homosexual activities, and I will treat it as a naturally mandated condition such as race, eye color, or similarly genetically determined traits and conditions over which a person has no m ore choice than the accidents of their birth.

    Choice or disorder.

    Not all disorders have a genetic component.

    Mosebeys medical dictionary of 2009 defines a disorder as something that interferes with or inhibits a normal function or an established system.

    I’m pretty sure reproduction qualifies.

    Duh. Same result.

    You are resorting to using stilted language to make yourself appear thoughtful.

    You sir, resort to long winded arguments because you cannot make any succinctly.

    Complicated is easy. Simple is hard.

    Homosexuality + increased affluence + etc etc have the effect of lowering reproduction rates….which is good for an overpopulated planet…..which is good for the continuity of human kind.

    See how easy it is to make it appear you have explained everything with a few words after the process has been explained in greater detail. And indeed your short hand version misses by far the details I included that identify the dynamics involved in brining it about.

    Brevity is also the sure sign of disconnected synapses.

    See how easy it is to diagnose a condition by how someone who responds to a subject he doesn’t comprehend.

    Worker bees to a great extent do what they do, because the queen has certain chemical substances, feromoner, which are distributed to all of the workers, and tells them what to do. Its the same as with “Nine Eleven”, or when a mad oligarch promise the working slave cast gold and green forests, but they do not need chemical substances, they only need to LIE.

  446. Doctor Roberts:

    Thanks for your post of April 28 on the new digital crime trend of stealing people’s houses out from under them.

    Your tone is angry; no man wants to be turfed out of his lovely Panama City home via digital fraud. Your anger leads you to bizarrely mischarachterise the techies who wrought the Digital Revolution as “morons”.

    But I’ll bet you aren’t one-tenth as angry as “Unabomber” Theodore John Kaczynski, whose nom de plume was “F.C.”. His violent one-man war against “Industrial Society” has led non-thinkers into dismissing his thesis: “The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.”

    By the time he is recognized as one of the deepest and clearest thinkers in world history, it will be far too late to save the cause of human freedom. Be grateful that God has given us death as our final refuge from the man-made hells of the future.
