This case represents one of the grossest, legal overreaches by a foreign government leader in human history—a sitting President’s attempt to personally bankrupt a single podcaster from outside the nation in which he governs.
And to formally reiterate since many reporters willfully lied about this most important detail: I was NEVER being sued for stating that Brigitte Macron was born a male. I was instead being sued for discussing MK Ultra and for allegedly accusing the “First Lady” of theft from her sister.
I am tremendously grateful to the Delaware courts and to the presiding Judge for looking at this case objectively, despite false media depictions and government pressures.
Three Boy Scouts hiking on a California island reported a silent silver object they believed was moving faster than a conventional jet before apparently disintegrating.
An Air Intelligence Information Report dated August 28, 1952, places the Scouts’ encounter during a mountain hike around noon on June 25, under clear skies.
The object appeared to make a climbing turn immediately before its ‘disappearance by disintegration,’ according to the report.
Another file contains a handwritten letter dated May 1, 1949, describing six objects passing individually over Avalon on the evening of April 28, followed minutes later by four more traveling in the same direction.
Catalina Island is also near a vast, flat-topped underwater formation (pictured) off Malibu called Sycamore Knoll, which conspiracy theorists have long believed was a hidden alien base
The row comes amid a growing drive by Ankara to promote a pan-Turkic agenda that has proved to be sensitive area in relations with Beijing
The debate over ethnic identity in Xinjiang has triggered an online clash between Chinese and Turkish social media users.
The row began earlier this month when a Turkish social media user recalled an encounter with a Uygur from Xinjiang, the region in China that is home to nearly 12 million mainly Muslim Turkic speakers.
The user wrote that the woman did not look Chinese, but when asked whether she considered herself Turkic, the woman responded: “No, I’m Chinese.” The user also called on her to “return to your roots”.
Most of what became Chinese Buddhism, which is a magnificent tradition, originated in Kashmir or Gandhāra and traveled through what is now Xinjiang. China’s most famous Buddhist translator, Kumarajiva1(鳩摩羅什), was from Kucha which is now in Xinjiang. ABN
No colonies. No transatlantic slave trade. No Inquisition. While Spain burned people alive and Britain shipped Africans across the ocean, the Commonwealth gave religious freedom to Jews, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians when the rest of Europe was drowning in blood.
The Warsaw Confederation of fifteen seventy-three was the first law in European history guaranteeing freedom of conscience.
It elected its kings. It had the largest parliament on the continent.
It was the first to abolish capital punishment for witchcraft in sixteen forty-eight — a century before most of Europe.
And unlike every other empire, it never fought a war of aggression. No invasions for conquest. Every conflict it entered was defensive.
It also developed Ukraine and Belarus economically — turned the wild steppe into farmland, built cities, trade routes, and institutions where before there was nothing but frontier.
It wasn’t perfect. Nothing human is. But compared to every empire that came before or after, it was the closest thing mankind has ever built to a civilization that chose tolerance over terror.
Costa Rica has announced the opening of a new mega-prison amid near-record homicide levels and growing organised crime, as countries across the region embrace police crackdowns that have proven popular but often weaken key civil liberties.
President Laura Fernandez opened the High-Containment Centre Against Organised Crime, or CACCO, on Wednesday. The prison will have capacity for 5,100 people, equivalent to about 20 percent of the country’s current prison population.
“The CACCO will force criminals to face a new model – a tough-on-crime model. Costa Rica will become a global benchmark for prison security,” Fernandez said during an inauguration ceremony.
After hearing Netanyahu speak about Barry Strauss’ book “Jews vs. Rome”, I bought it and read it and wasn’t very impressed. But, as the article says Jews vs. Rome is a theme that’s influential in the thinking of the current Jewish génocidaires.
That’s quite possible, but I’m pretty skeptical of the overall analysis of the article.
I’ll admit that I haven’t read either of the books referenced by Laurent, but I really doubt that the anti-Roman theme has been that influential among Jews in modern times, at least in American society and perhaps even in the rest of the West.
In my entire life, I’ve almost never heard any Jews complaining about what the Romans did to them 2,000 years ago, including the destruction of the Second Temple. I’ve heard far, far more complaints about the German Nazis or the Russian Czars or the Cossacks or the antisemitic Poles or certainly the Catholic Church and Christianity in general.
I’ve even heard more complaints about the (relatively mild) antisemitism of the old WASP elite with their restrictive country clubs and unfair Ivy League admissions. And despite the longstanding Jewish-black alliance, I’ve similarly heard much more about black antisemitism whether popular and casual or organized along the lines of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. I’ve also occasionally heard quite a bit of chatter about the antisemitism of “white racists” such as the KKK or maybe Southerners in general.
Even long before the current of round the Middle East conflict, there was obviously a huge amount of Jewish anger, hostility, and fear directed against Palestinians, Arabs/Muslims in general, and those who were aligned with them, including leftists or the so-called “Arabists” in American government and academia.
All of this makes sense since most people tend to focus on more recent controversies rather than what happened 2,000 years ago.
An important point to consider is that Judaism as a religion had already largely come into being at the time of the wars with Rome. So there’s an important Jewish holiday condemning the horrible oppression of the Jews at the hands of the Egyptians (Passover). There’s a Jewish holiday condemning the horrible oppression of the Jews at the hands of Hellenistic/Greek Seleucids (Hannukah). There’s a Jewish holiday condemning the planned massacre of the Jews at the hands of the Persians (Purim). But there’s no Jewish holiday condemning the Romans.
Here’s a useful data-point. Popular sentiments are obviously shaped by Hollywood, which has always been heavily Jewish. Over the decades, there’s been a vast number of Holocaust-themed films, along with many movies whose villains were “Arab terrorists” and the PLO. There have been some famous ones against the antisemitism of racist white Southerners or elite WASPs. But there seem to have been very, very few films focused on the Roman oppression of Jews. Ben-Hur was about the only example that came to mind but it was released almost 70 years ago and also had a strong Christian theme. There’s obviously Monty Python’s Life of Brian, but that’s hardly what I’m talking about, and given its huge popularity, it has probably heavily shaped Jewish attitudes toward the Roman Empire.
My guess is that if you aggregated and analyzed all the Jewish “chatter” in America over the last half-century regarding their enemies or those who had wronged or attacked them, maybe 1% of it would focus on the Romans.
However, it’s very possible that the attitude among Jews in Israel itself is quite different. After all, they’re living surrounded by all the old ruins and archeological sites, with the entire Zionist ideology being the idea of recreating the old independent Jewish State that was destroyed by the Romans. There’s probably a huge amount of focus on the story of the Jewish Revolt, Masada, and the destruction of the Temple.
So if Israelis focus pretty substantially upon the Romans as their major enemies and oppressors, some of that might have gradually begun leaking back into American society via Israeli activists and the Israel Lobby.
The comment is an interesting overview by Unz on his personal experiences with what American Jews say and believe. My comment on Guyénot’s essay when it first appeared is: …hatred and hostility are core values of a fundamentally parasitic culture. Form follows function.
My view today on Jewish Supremacist parasitism is: its deepest still relevant roots date back to the Arenda System in Poland and Eastern Europe (Poland was a much larger political region centuries ago). The Arenda System was a leasing system which rewarded Jewish parasitism. The Polish, and other, ‘nobles’ who leased sale of liquor, tax collecting and other rights to Jews were every bit as much parasites as the Jews. But it is Jewish Supremacists who have carried on the attitudes and parasitic behaviors of that system to this day. It is arguable, I suppose, but far-fetched, that the traditional Polish-Lithuanian ‘nobility’ are still functioning in secret today through their heirs. Or, more believably, that they have morphed or expanded into the secret elite which is busy destroying Europe today. And all of that does appear to be mixed in with the post Soviet EU’s apparent imitation of both the Soviet Union and the Polish-Lithuanian ‘nobles’ of yore. ABN
