    What innocent times: an American school class, as depicted in a 1982 movie. Almost exclusively white students, no “chimpouts.” No anti-white racism (as explicitly promoted as it is today), no wokism, no DEI, no “affirmative action.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D55LkspO5ZU

    Instead, the teacher indoctrinates the students with Jewish atrocity propaganda that traumatizes them. Shown is the infamous propaganda film from Dachau, where a steel door to the shower room (“Brausebad”) opens, and a gloved arm with no identity (was it “Billy Wilder” himself, or his horror colleague Hitchcock?) sneakily opens a valve in the boiler room, which is deceptively portrayed as a “gas tap.”

    “How could the Germans have gassed 10 million [sic!] Jews without a single one of them putting up a fight?” the teacher is asked. This implies that every German was personally aware of what became known after the war as the “Holocaust.” Yet the Nazis themselves are said to have kept it a secret (though, on the other hand, they took “evidence photos” of it).

    Who is indoctrinating whom here: the Nazis their youth, or the Jews the postwar youth? The answer shouldn’t be too difficult. Who actually wants to exterminate whom here: Germany the Jews, or the Jews “Amalek”? The teacher instills “German discipline” in his students (again through trickery) so that “the group dynamics become clear.”

    “Director Fern Field was born in Milan in 1934, the daughter of William Field and Betty, née Dosnansky.” (The name Dosnansky is not found on the internet, but AI suggests it may be associated with a Russian-Jewish background.) “Fern Field began her film career at Norman Lear’s Tandem Productions as an assistant to the executive producer of the television series ‘Maude’ (1975–1978).” And “The Wave” also reveals the usual suspects behind it:

      Wow, that smirking, ratlike creature in the thumbnail … yeesh. This is why cartoons merely depicting Jews, not exaggerated much at all, were so effective in the 1930s, because there’s an instinctive revulsion…

      1982 … I was a young adult, saw my movies in theaters of course, as everyone did back then. Jew-programming and Jew-propaganda and hatred of us “amalek” were the order of the day. Movies, TV mini-series, you name it.

      That’s the powerful thing about the internet, in that younger people have alternatives. They can look at history as it actually was. They can see other views than the standard American Jewish mainstream.

      This is why there’s hope now, while it seemed all sewed up in the early 80s.

        Extremely repulsive. With that prototypical mug, I’d shoot myself voluntarily. Not so the Jews: They believe they are not the spawn of hell, but rather “God’s chosen people” and thus “his personal embodiment in human form.” It doesn’t get any more perverse.

          It would be perverse if Jews actually do regard themselves as God in human form,

            Those who are atheist, having no God to answer to, or promise of an afterlife (at least not of the angel wings and getting issued a harp variety) have instead their People, their Folk or Volk, to live for. Jews believe very, very strongly about this. In fact, looking at their tales of bargaining with God and “lawyering” an upper hand with God in some deal or another, it’s pretty obvious that they value their Folk/Volk/Tribe and yes they do capitalize it, Tribe, most of all. Which is in keeping with Kevin MacDonald’s scientific findings.

            The Pew survey shows that a large %age of US Jews are atheists. Their Torah gives the impression that Yahweh resembled a giant man (Genesis 3.8, Exodus 33) in whose image Adam was copied. Later on, ideas became more refined (John 4.24) – and among moderns have vanished altogether like the Cheshire cat. It is fair to say, however that while God was their own tribal deity, many Jews today worship their tribal selves. He “disappeared in Auschwitz” – so instead of HaShem, we now have the cult of HaShoah. Some of the sharpest critics of theism, religions and the churches have been Jews. The enthusiasm of Christian Zionists is tactically appreciated but not actually reciprocated by Jews who blame the New Testament, Chrysostom and Luther for “The Holocaust” whose commemoration is supplanting Golgotha as the icon of the secularised West.

      After watching this fabulous masterpiece, I am now also firmly convinced that “Diversity Is Our Strength” is the only correct response to “Strength Through Joy.” Only the Jews bring us true humanity, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or religion.

      How brutal and cruel is it when, in the end, not only does the gas chamber await, but even fragile girls—the true heroes of the white world—are intimidated? That is why there must never be single-sex classes in schools, as there were in Nazi Germany.

      “Only divided we are strong!” Or better yet: “Only weakness is strength! Individualism above all!” Let this be our new motto, for it perfectly embodies our destiny! You are all part of this wonderful community: BIPoCs, trans-people and homosexuals!

    Madman Donnie is down to 22% support per the latest polling news. This suggests that he will get even more desperate and will take greater risks. Come let us Reason together. Trumpstein holds the world hostage. It can only be hoped that there are military folks who can grab Trump and put him in a straitjacket and pack him off to Guantanamo and store his lardass ’till he can be impeached, indicted, and otherwise tried for war crimes and dereliction of duty, etc. etc.

    Meanwhile we can hope that he continues not nuking Iran and thus further driving White folks crazy, and jews into robust insanity as well. He will have changed history, not as his fat head has fever dreamed, but sobering up Whites to various realities starting with jew perfidy, malice, and bloody mindedness, and Whites sobering up to not only jews, but niggers, beaners, and Liberalism generally, starting with immigration horrors. Gawdspeed the mighty Depression and enough War to scare Whites into sobriety….well, we are beginning to get it… 20 dollar gasoline will help, and marauding niggers and beaners too just to enrichmentize us with third world psychopathy. Alone …we shall overcome the filth of the third world.

    Yes indeed, but Trump is pretending that “economic catastrophe looms” … for Iran.

        How times change!
        The Chinese before Mao died, according to the upbeat polylingual Max Isaac Dimont, replaced the religions of Taoism and Buddhism by the motivating ideology and economic doctrine of “a Jew, Karl Marx”, and the science and psychology of two others, Einstein and Freud (“The Indestructible Jews” [1973] p.432).
        What to make of the present “socialism” with “Chinese characteristics” as an internal phenomenon I cannot honestly say, but the emergence of the previously sleeping giant as a huge competitive world-imperial power must be of concern to Israel, Russia, the Muslim world – and the West. Nearly 1.5 billion people in 3.7 million square miles plus a drive for cyber-war supremacy.

          @ Karen Crockett
          Only one of these three westerners who had any real influence on Mao was Marx, whose “Jewishness” was somewhat problematic, but whose ideas were promoted among the East Asian peasant revolutionaries by writers like the Jew Mark Mitin.
          Marxists of all kinds have always supported non-white uprisings against the “imperialists”. Trotsky-Bronstein had several thousand Chinese among the non-Russians in his Red Army during the civil war. The Bolsheviks and their Comintern worked towards “armed insurrection” to create “the rule of the Soviets” in China, as elsewhere, an important episode being a notable call for revolution there by Grigory Zinoviev-Radomyshelky in June 1925.
          An initially surprising fact is that almost all foreigners “helping the Chinese at the time of the Communist takeover were Jewish” (Laura Goldman, “Jewish Daily Forward”, July 9, 2019). One could begin with Two-Gun Moszek Cohen, who nurtured relations with both KMT and PLA forces, both a “hero of Israel,” and friend of Zhou En-lai, and conclude with David Crook, celebrated by his patron Zhou.

            According to “The Israel Secret Service”, written under the pen-name Richard Deacon (Donald McCormick, now deceased) in 1979, there was a very close co-operation between the Chinese Communist and Jewish Zionist intelligence agencies. Do Henry Petersen, Karen Crockett or any others have views on why and how things appear to have changed?

    It may be that Trump is relying on Israel to do his dirty work for him. We should all take note of this recent posting by Tucker Carlson about the recent supply to Israel by the USA of a huge supply of a particular type of devastating bomb. This is what I have on file:

    https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/2099906095905165701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2099906095905165701%7Ctwgr%5E41c81abbd13708b4d58b121c1b58ba37eafebf0d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theoccidentalobserver.net%2F2026%2F09%2F16%2Ftrump-approves-massive-arms-giveaway-to-israel%2F

    Trump ships 40,000 Mark 84
    and Blu-117 bombs to Israel
    by Tucker Carlson

    According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

    How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel.

    That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel.

    World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.

    The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

    Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

    An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

    For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

    It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings.

    So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

    By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

    So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale”. It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America.

    Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

    How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

    At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons.

    Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

    It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel.

    Only public outrage can stop this.
