Tim Walz and the Jews

How a progressive boot camp founded by Jews helped Tim Walz become a politician

As a senator, Wellstone was widely viewed as a dedicated progressive who was pro-Israel, positions that, at the time, were not considered to be in tension. He was also a regular contributor to Tikkun, a dovish progressive Jewish magazine. At the time of his death, he was running against another Jewish challenger, Norm Coleman, who succeeded him. Coleman, in turn, lost to Jewish Democrat Al Franken in 2008.

Wellstone Action, founded shortly after Wellstone’s death, became a key stop for many Democrats looking to make inroads in state politics. Other program alums include Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan — who, in fact, trained Walz in 2005 before later becoming his top deputy. (If Harris and Walz win in November, Flanagan would become the first Native American female governor in US history.)

The year after he completed the program, Walz became Camp Wellstone’s first successful alum at the federal level when he was elected to Congress. In 2018 he won election to the governorship, nearly six years before Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate.

David Wellstone has remained close friends with Walz through the intervening years, and said the governor “comes out of the Wellstone mold of how do you run campaigns, which is connecting with people.”

He added that he believes Walz — who beat out Pennsylvania’s Jewish governor, Josh Shapiro, in the veepstakes — would be “eminently fair” on issues of concern to American Jews. Walz has other connections to the state’s Jewish community and wrote his master’s thesis on Holocaust education.

Lauded by former students, Tim Walz wrote his master’s thesis on Holocaust education

Before entering politics, the Minnesota governor was a beloved teacher with focus on genocide studies; participated in US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s first conference for educators

… But it’s clear that how to teach the Holocaust well has occupied Walz for decades. In 1993, while teaching in Nebraska, he was part of an inaugural conference of US educators convened by the soon-to-open US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Eight years later, after moving to Minnesota, he wrote a thesis arguing for changes in Holocaust education. And as governor, he backed a push to mandate teaching about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools.

Through it all, Walz modeled and argued for careful instruction that treated the Holocaust as one of multiple genocides worth understanding.

“Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world,” Walz wrote in his thesis, submitted in 2001.

The thesis was the culmination of Walz’s master’s degree focused on Holocaust and genocide education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, which he earned while teaching at Mankato West. His 27-page thesis, which JTA obtained, is titled “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.”

In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote.

He then took a position that he noted was “controversial” among Holocaust scholars: that the Holocaust should not be taught as unique but used to help students identify “clear patterns” with other historical genocides like the Armenian and Rwandan genocides.

    The idea that “The Holocaust” should not be regarded as “unique” but an example of “genocides” in general would not go down too well in “England” with Jews like Baroness Deech, who complains that the “Holocaust Museum” proposed for a garden near Parliament does precisely that, instead of being a tax-funded centre devoted exclusively to their own Shoah and their unique multinational “longest hatred”, including “persecution” by the Christian English and the present Palestinian “atrocities”.

    Is there a collective memory? According to C. G. Jung yes. At least as far back as there were methods of cultural preservation. As a European, it is difficult to imagine being American in a certain sense: their history is only a few centuries old.

    In this respect, one could speak of America as a historical child, which in turn dominates and determines the world in a way that is inappropriate for a child. Just as it would be nonsensical to accuse a child of lacking experience, Americans cannot be blamed for thinking that pop culture is “culture”.

    https://www.amren.com/podcasts/2024/08/red-dawn-in-america/

    The comparison is of course flawed, because Americans may be political children who terrorize their parents, but the history of Europe is to a large extent also their history, from which they have been more or less cut off. Actually, this role of world leadership should fall to China, at least as far as the age of culture is concerned.

    One could say that a role reversal has taken place. America is the little boy who explains to his grandfather, who now also wants to be “modern”, how a computer works. After all, that’s what matters in this brave new world. The grandfather, on the other hand, doesn’t want to be an old man now, he wants to dance in jeans at the disco instead of walking through the forest with a cane.

    The question arises as to what role the Jews have in determining the fate of the world, since their “state” was only founded in 1948. Hitler was against it because he predicted that it would at best serve as a retreat for the world’s Jewish criminals. Was he wrong? I leave it to your imagination to formulate the correct answer.

    Walz has a broader, more comprehensive appreciation for genocides generally. He taught about them for years. He knows what makes a good genocide vs a weak, half-assed one.

    Now, as VP, he will get to assist a president who helped run the one in Gaza while serving as VP under Biden. Maybe if Harris can’t complete her first term, Tim Walz can takeover as Shabbos Goy-in-Chief and “finish the job” started by Biden and his Jewish handlers.

    What is theory without practice?

    US Jew Blinken gives Israeli-Jew Nethanyahu 20 billion taxpayers’ money from white Americans under the pretext of the “Holocaust” so that the latter can continue to commit genocide against Palestinian children and foment a third world war in the Middle East. The debt of the USA is 34 trillion dollars. That Jews control America and abuse it for their highly criminal ethnonationalist purposes is, however, an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64598

    Record producer Richard Perry is said to have “an extremely difficult personality”, which makes it difficult for many musicians to work with him. Mr. Perry is Jewish and outwardly resembles his tribal brother Sacha Baron Cohen in some ways, only a few years older. Are Cohen and Perry psychopaths?

    The suspicion is not entirely unfounded; the relationship between those around them remains contradictory and leaves the typically bitter aftertaste of having been used. A British man with a German surname provides information, as does Mr. Thompson. Mr. Perry stuck his circumcised Jewish dick into the “activist” Fonda for 8 years, from which side is not known.

    When Eric Striker, i.e. Joseph Jordan, speaks of the “psychopathology of the Jews”, he is referring to a specific character trait of the Jews that occurs particularly frequently among them and can be observed conspicuously with good intuition. This character trait regularly has social and personal consequences when dealing with this “species” and is therefore met with rejection. The reason is that Jews give nothing, they only take, but mendaciously claim that it is a fair exchange.

    Israel, for example, is sold as America’s greatest ally, although Israel, like the Jews in the USA, doesn’t give a damn about white people. America cements this lie with ever new billions to the criminal mass murderers in the alleged “Holy Land”. The specific characteristic of psychopathology is thus the systematic and practiced abuse. Striker is also right in concluding that in such “democracies” as America, which have a weak state system, the Jews have a particularly easy time gaining top power and occupying decisive positions.

    I think Striker’s theory is not only possible, but very likely. It’s just that it’s difficult to debunk or even prove statistically because it hides behind an extremely clever and deft social mask that our politically correct conventions and labels forbid us to lift. The Jews build up and appeal to our indulgent decency and good morals never to lift this kind of veil if we do not want to be accused of “group-focused misanthropy”.

    It has also been discovered that psychopaths are particularly successful in business when it comes to attaining high positions. Jews hold high positions in the societies of white goyim more often than others. Hypocrites claim that Jews are simply smarter and better, and therefore more successful than everyone else, and that anti-Semitism is therefore a typical characteristic of resentment and social envy. Of course, this is all part of the tactical concealment strategy.

    Psychopaths are not those clumsy peasants who act martially through impulsiveness and outbursts of violence, as can be observed with black Africans, for example. In the case of Jews, the abuse tends to take place on a psychological, indirect, seemingly invisible and “incomprehensible” level or sphere; here again, one could speak of a perfidious female tactic.

    Jews are particularly skillful and sophisticated in appropriating the customs, traditions and habits of their white host societies in order to use them for their own purposes and achieve a high social position. Their extraordinary social learning ability, multilingualism, supposed “sophistication” etc. are the door openers. Acting with prudence, caution and restraint is already propagated in the “Holy Scriptures” of the Jews.

    Uncle Tim, the walzing Matilda. But
    what is your Tim against our Klaus?

    https://www.amren.com/commentary/2024/08/uncle-tim-walz/

    In a cozy little town, where laughter would ring,
    Lived Klaus and dear Ingrid, a marvelous thing.
    With a voice like a trumpet and hair wild and free,
    Klaus thought he was special, as special could be.

    But Ingrid, the queen with a sassy retort,
    Kept him in check, never one to cavort.
    “Without me, dear Klaus, you’re just lost in the fray,
    Now who’ll wash your socks on this lonely old day?”

    With Ingrid now gone, poor Klaus felt the strain,
    His laundry piled high, oh, what a mundane!
    No longer the star of their comedic show,
    He sighed as he pondered, “What now? Where to go?”

    His marketing dreams had all crumbled to dust,
    No lemonade stands, just a laundry room bust.
    He thought of young lovers, perhaps a new flame,
    “Maybe I’ll find one who’ll help with my fame!”

    But alas, dear Klaus, with his quirky old charm,
    Might just scare off the ladies with his laundry alarm.
    “Come meet my fine socks!” he’d say with a grin,
    While they’d run for the hills, oh, where to begin?

    Yet in memory sweet, of Ingrid so bright,
    Klaus chuckles and smiles, though alone in the night.
    For love’s a great journey, with laughter as guide,
    And in his heart, Ingrid will always abide.

    So here’s to the duo, their antics and cheer,
    May Klaus find his way, with a wink and a beer.
    For life’s just a stage, and though roles may shift,
    The legacy of laughter is truly the gift!

    Meet Klaus: The Unlikely Cousin of Trump

    Imagine Klaus, a charming yet somewhat hapless character, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain former president. With a voice that echoes the distinctive tones of Donald Trump—think of a slightly off-key karaoke rendition—Klaus often finds himself in amusing situations. Picture him at family gatherings, confidently proclaiming, “I’m the best cousin, believe me!” while his relatives chuckle behind their hands.

    Ingrid: The Queen of Sass

    Ingrid, on the other hand, is the true star of the show. With her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, she’s the one who keeps Klaus grounded. She often rolls her eyes at his grandiose stories, reminding him that he’s not actually the “chosen one” in the family tree. “Klaus, if you had a dollar for every time you mentioned your cousin, you could afford a decent haircut!” she quips, referencing his wild, untamed hair that would make even Trump’s stylist raise an eyebrow.

    Their Comedic Dynamic

    Together, they form the perfect comedic duo. Klaus, with his Trump-like bravado, often tries to impress Ingrid with outlandish claims about his “business ventures” that usually involve selling homemade lemonade at the local park. Ingrid, armed with her quick comebacks, counters, “Oh please, the only thing you’re good at selling is hot air!”

    The Nation’s Favorite Couple

    Their playful banter and endearing quirks made them beloved figures in the nation. Viewers tuned in not just for the entertainment, but for the genuine affection that shone through their humorous exchanges. Klaus might have the voice and some of the looks, but Ingrid’s sass and sharp humor always steal the spotlight.

    A Legacy of Laughter

    Ingrid and Klaus remind us that love and laughter can go hand in hand, even when one partner thinks they’re a world-class businessman and the other is just trying to keep it real. Their legacy is one of joy, reminding us to embrace our quirks and find humor in everyday life.

    PS: The comedy of this reality couple is that there is absolutely no comedy in it, that’s what makes it ultra-funny. These people are so average that almost every German can identify with them. A typical dialog. In one episode Ingrid says: “I’m a convinced German. We Germans are the best and have the best experts in the world. That’s why they all come to us!” (presumably referring to “migrants”). Klaus protests: “Others have good people too, let’s not get arrogant.” Ingrind shuts him up. However, the series is older than Merkel’s opening of the border.

      Alfred says:

      Profane examples such as Klaus & Ingrid are a very good illustration of the wisdom of life that the statement “I love you” is complete nonsense. It is just as moronic as if I were to generalize the statement “I hate you!” made by an angry child to his parents and take it at face value.

      I can perhaps say: “Even if I loathe you at this moment rather than desire you, I have decided to have a life partnership with you and will continue to honor this decision, live up to it and take it into account.”

      If the woman then says: “But you said you love me!”, then she wants to lead us down the slippery slope of illogic again. Then we have to untangle her inability to see through the chaos and concretize the events:

      Me: “Yes, I loved you at that moment.”
      Her: “And now you don’t?”
      Me: “Obviously I’m finding it hard to get those words out at that moment, or do you want me to behave in contradiction with an emotion just so you can force a statement out of me that meets your expectations?”
      Her: “No, of course you also have the right to dislike me situationally, if I gave you cause to do so, and to express this request.”

      We now speak in such vague formulas that we no longer even notice their irrationality. I can perhaps say that I am clearly on the right side of the so-called left-right spectrum of the political model of so-called “democracy”, although I myself would have difficulty locating or grouping myself there, because although I have ideas that seem radical in a completely sick world like ours, I do not consider myself an extremist.

      An idea that would be considered as such would be, for example, to stop the mass invasion immediately and radically and to launch a large-scale repatriation offensive of all foreign invaders and boarders who turn out to be illegal. This idea, which in itself is completely healthy, only seems radical to those who have long since accepted the millions of violations of the law by our states and their asylum industries as “normality” (the new normal).
