Folks, this is another MONSTER post. Got a lot of serious material, to include, “Why American Jews see Nazis everywhere BUT where the Nazis really are”, which is, in fact, more of a “Foundations of U.S. Jewish Politics”, 101-level crash course, again saving you (or your brats) on college tuition.
(Sorry, I’m not accredited. No one will get college credits for reading this.)
This is, in fact, a taboo subject, and to hear a detailed explanation from someone who was born in Israel, came up around Jews, read “The Forward” (the last major English-language U.S. Jewish newspaper) in its print edition (back in the day), worked for Jews, and understands the psychology, is UNIQUE.
Also, some other important stuff, including but not limited to, using Michael Obama’s career history and “First Lady” track record to PROVE that zim/zer WILL NOT run for president, because zim/zer is too damn LAZY.
But first, some laughs. Actually, this is kind of serious, too. It’s in the “you can’t make this up” department.
Here, on Youtube, is a complete film, Rzhevsky Versus Napoleon, released in 2012, produced by Zelensky’s Kvartal 95 production company, with Russian money, in which Zelensky plays… NAPOLEON.
Hahaha, yeah.
I hadn’t quite realized, he is, for real, a WORLD-CLASS comic actor:
Aaaand…..
I just couldn’t pass this one up…..
Borscht Reich air defense strikes again! See below…..
(This one is from tonight, in Odessa. Fortunately, there’s no explosion on the ground, it seems the missile’s warhead failed to go off. Lucky!)
Thomas Friedman is ALWAYS wrong
Or, “always assume the OPPOSITE of the mainstream consensus…..
…..but, good luck getting your zombie relatives and friends to ever ADMIT you were right.”
In late January 2020, I bought about $2500 of extreme out-of-the-money call options on a “long” U.S. Treasury bonds ETF.
I was sweating buckets, as I didn’t KNOW if the corona would blow up in the USA BEFORE the options expired in mid-April.
In March, I sold the options for about $50,000 (before taxes.) If I hadn’t been greedy, I could have sold them one day prior, for about $100,000.
(Sadly, I spent all the money, long ago, on liquor and tobacco products for my kids. So, if you haven’t given me squat for all the value you take from this blog, you’re NOT off the hook. I could be sleeping right now, but it’s 1:30am and I’m working for YOU. Donate here.)
THAT was a successful bet against “mainstream consensus.”
Of course, CNN and Nancy Pelosi and all the other shitbags, had an IMPEACHMENT to run, and they didn’t want you DISTRACTED with some silly germ.
(They could not have imagined, at that time, how they’d soon saddle the germ and take down Trump with it.)
So, despite videos of dump trucks picking up bodies in Wuhan—like Monty Python’s “bring out your dead”—the party line was, “It’s just the flu”, or “It’s not even the flu.”
(Of course, by Black Death standards, even the original corona had a very low fatality rate, but when it’s ignored, and EVERYONE gets it, and does so within a short time, you get Wuhan. It’s clearly MUCH worse than seasonal flu.)
Having read a Hong Kong medical paper in January 2020, I also bought hydroxychloroquine, most likely saving my wife, when she came down with this “flu”, REALLY bad, in April 2020, and again (as we all did) in July. She has a “minor” condition that’s barely significant under normal circumstances, but with corona… well, one of those two times WOULD have gotten her.
(I always laugh when deranged retard fools tell me corona doesn’t exist, or viruses don’t exist. Ever placed the poopy part of a soiled diaper right up to your not-congested nose, and NOT been able to smell it? That is, your nose can feel the BODY HEAT from the poop… but no smell at all? For weeks?)
Aaaanyway…..
That was a RARE sequence of events.
In most cases, even Dreizin can’t bet against “mainstream consensus” this precisely… if at all.
Nonetheless, over a long-enough time period, “mainstream consensus” is ALWAYS proven wrong… even if no one ever ‘fesses up to it.
(Obviously, I’m talking human affairs, not “the Earth is round” or whatever.)
When Obama took over in 2009, “mainstream consensus” was that the U.S. would lose its leadership in the world, and others (such as the European Union) would step up, and things would be more balanced.
At least, that was consensus in the Democrat MSM and among their “thinkers” at the time (e.g., Thomas Friedman.) Obama clearly wanted to make it happen.
Despite intervening in Syria and Libya, Obama fanatically got his weird Iran deal through the Senate, also shutting down a major investigation into Hezbollah cocaine smuggling in the USA, to avoid bad press for the deal; ruined U.S. ties with Saudi Arabia; ignored ISIS (even firing his DIA director over it) until it almost took Baghdad; opened up to Cuba; abandoned the Bushites’ crazy “missile defense” plans for eastern Europe, and tried a “reset” with Russia. (Remember Hitlery giving the Russians a symbolic “reset” button?)
Fast forward to 2023:
The ONE SINGLE PERSON who (in 2014) did the most to SABOTAGE AND SINK the Obama approach, Victoria “Jabba” Nuland…..
…..has travelled to Niger, Africa, to try to get its coup leaders to step down, because, with the Nord Streams blown up, Europe needs the trans-Sahara gas pipeline from Nigeria to Algeria…..
…..AND because, with Russia’s Wagner in the area, France no longer has any power, any ability to do anything with this former colony.
Basically, Nuland has to wipe France’s crippled ass.
How’s THAT for “Europe stepping up?”
Well…..
As I’ve been saying, they will step up, eventually… TO UNCLE SAM… when the Ukraine situation goes far, far south.
But for now…..
How did that “mainstream consensus” turn out?

Uncle Dreizin Wants YOU!
If you haven’t already, please sign up to my damn MAILING LIST! All this means, is that you’ll get my blog posts, in your email. I DO NOT mass-send anything but that. Please enter your email address, in the box below.
The “slowing inflation” narrative is BS…..
…..because the U.S. Government is INCAPABLE of measuring “services inflation.”
As of September 1st, the monthly rent on my storage unit will rise from $148 to $182. It’s been rising over 20 percent per year since 2021.
My monthly security monitoring fees (on my home and a few rentals) are going up as much as 10 percent, after NEVER previously rising more than five percent a year.
Mosquito-spraying of my yard, went up 10-some percent this year, after holding steady in 2022, after rising over nine percent in 2021.
Insurance costs nationwide are WAY, WAY, WAY up (mostly because home construction and auto body work costs have exploded since 2020, and the insurance companies can no longer keep eating those hikes.)
Property taxes are way, way, way up. For condos, which are more price-volatile, taxes are up as much as 50 percent over 2019, and the tax hikes have, with a lag (as always happens), recently ACCELERATED.
Residential rents are clearly re-accelerating, at least, in my area (near Washington, DC.)
I think my twin daughters’ therapy bills went up, not insubstantially, but I don’t remember how much… because it’s just billed to my credit card. (More on this, below.)
In short, this year, so far, the main inflation has been in SERVICES (not goods.)
I won’t go deep into the methodology, but the silly “consumer basket” that the Government uses to measure inflation, is geared towards goods, NOT services.
It’s not just “weighted”, but PSYCHOLOGICALLY GEARED towards stuff you buy in a store, NOT monthly charges to your credit card that you may not think about much, and certainly not “rare” but SUBSTANTIAL expenses (e.g. auto body work, major medical bills, home improvements, legal bills, property taxes (although these can be escrowed and thus more in the “I don’t think about it” category), etc.)
Sometime this year, my health system (with its own doctors and clinics) revoked the right of doctors to make outside referrals (that the system has to pay for.) Now, it’s all done by a central committee or something. Obviously, the goal is to cut costs by rejecting some referrals that would previously have been approved. For some unlucky consumers, that’s MURDEROUS inflation.
How do you measure it???
You don’t.
What’s happening, the GOODS inflation of recent years, is FINALLY making its way into SERVICES. That is, services providers have FINALLY lost their inhibitions, and are hiking prices to match their input costs, and their suppliers input costs, and so on down the chain.
“The Fed” probably understands this, else they would not have continued to “hike“, and in fact, they’d be strongly talking down the possibility of near-future hikes, which they’re clearly not doing.
Problem is, we’ve got people on Social Security etc. who are getting killed by the annual “indexation”, which saves the Government money, but does NOT cover true price increases.
World record holder for volume of Nazi/fascioid symbolry on one chest
Folks, this guy is a Ukraine all-star. The image was taken from a podcast or video interview or something like that. Perhaps, he forgot to change clothes for the show… or maybe (probably), didn’t forget at all.
As you can see, he’s got TWO “black suns” AND the Nazi eagle AND the black-red colors of the Right Sector… ON ONE CHEST!!!
LOL.

Thank you
Another BIG THANKS to everyone who came through on “liking” my tweets (which are almost all just links to my blog posts, nothing more.) You folks are great! Sadly, there’s still too many shitsacks who read me “religiously” DIRECTLY FROM Twitter, but can’t be bothered to hit the “like” button.
ALSO… Anyone who HAS a Twitter account, but doesn’t yet follow me, well, you better have a really good excuse (like, you work for Congress, or some state GOP or media org, or university, or anyway, you’ll get fired or served a divorce notice for following me.) Everyone else, sign the hell up!
ALSO… give me some money, if you haven’t already, or you only gave me $5 or $10 three-four-five months ago, and nothing since. You KNOW this is THE BEST single-contributor blog on the English-language Internet. You KNOW you draw enormous value from it. Why be a freeloading shitbag? Have some dignity!
Why American Jews see Nazis everywhere BUT where the Nazis really are
Folks, the answer is simple. Many of you have probably figured it out already, inchoate, intuitively, but you just never heard it said or written, quite this well. So, please listen below. Yes, I START with the neocons, BUT, that’s ONLY HALF of it.
(Please note, Bill Kristol is NOT, in fact, in line with my archetypal “neocon life path”, as it’s his FATHER who made the “conversion”, perhaps even before the Six-Day War (I really don’t care to research it), although Bill was clearly brought up in an only-superficially “conservative” family. So, you could say it’s a “neocon family”—probably the first such family, ever, though not remotely the last.)

No, Barack’s spouse WILL NOT run for president
Yes, Barack Obama still lives mostly in Washington, DC, which is CREEPY AS FUCK…..
…..because his activities and associations are NOT covered by the local press (e.g., the Bezos Post)…..
…..and no one “knows” what he does all day…..
…..(other than, obviously, run Team Brandon—mostly his own, old team—as a SHADOW PRESIDENT. “Democracy”, LOL.)
Yes, the Democrats would LIKE to find someone to replace Brandon for the 2024 election, so that the margin of the next steal doesn’t have to be super-obvious.
And, they are running out of time.
But, no, it’s NOT going to be Obama’s spouse.
Sure, Michael Obama MIGHT hypothetically WANT the job.
Only problem is, zim/zer is LAZY AS FUCK.
As “first spouse”, Michael is perhaps best remembered for taking a multimillion dollar—if you include the cost of security, and transporting and housing the security—vacation to Spain, WITHOUT Barack, but WITH a bunch of zim/zer’s girlfriends in tow.
Like some goddamn Barbie party. (Come on Barbie, let’s go party.)
Also, for getting zim/zer’s high school friend’s company to build (or not build) the original, failed, Obamacare registration website, which crashed on day one.
(As far as I can google, the money—either $500 or $700 million for NOTHING—was never “clawed back.”)
(Yes, the USA is corrupt as FUCK.)
What Michael is NOT remembered for… is doing any “work.”
Not as first spouse, and not before.
There has NEVER EVER EVER been anything substantive in the media, as to what (or how) zim/zer actually did in zim/zer’s various jobs.
Like, what was zim/zer’s role, what did bosses and coworkers think of zim/zer, how did zim/zer’s career develop, etc.
There’s some pap on Wikipedia etc., written by zim/zer’s White House staff in 2009. That’s not exactly valuable.
We know zim/zer got a big pay raise after Barack became a state legislator.
We also have a college senior end-of-year essay (I think, an honor’s thesis) that zim/zer wrote, which is disturbingly bland and poorly written, clearly demonstrative of someone just going through the motions. (Still got into Harvard Law School, LOL.)
Lastly, we know that zim/zer washed out of a “top” law firm (hired by them immediately upon graduation), migrating to some Chicago city office. (Sorry, may be a “decent” job, but, no Harvard-trained lawyer dreams of working for a city government.)
This is a CLASSIC sign of incompetence and career failure, ****ESPECIALLY**** for a “black woman”, seeing as EVERYONE at that firm would have bent over backwards to KEEP zim/zer, ***IF*** zim/zer had been able to produce ANY VALUE AT ALL.
Zim/zer then went on to several senior, bullshit-sounding HR or PR titles at a hospital, in short, NEVER AGAIN holding a job that needed a law degree.
That’s ALL we know.
My conclusion, zim/zer was a DIVERSITY HIRE who did NOTHING.
If there was ANYTHING good to say about zim/zer’s job performance, we’d have heard about it LONG AGO.
Now, as U.S. President, Michael would have to actually do stuff. At least, at the same low level as Brandon.
Like, get up in the morning at a certain time every weekday; frequently travel for boring meetings, events, and speeches; pretend to listen to what aides are telling zim/zer, etc.
Sorry, NOT happening.
(My webmaster, Manny, thinks zim/zer can easily match Brandon’s state of lethargy, no big deal. I disagree. After just barely fumbling down the “affirmative action” tunnel for zim/zer’s entire schooling and career, and then doing almost NOTHING for six and a half years after leaving the White House, at this point, I don’t think zim/zer is capable of operating even at Brandon’s level. Or at least, of WANTING to do so.)
It’s much more likely, the Dems will just run Brandon again. Or, bring in some other washed-up, controllable, total muppet at the last minute (not quite but sort of what they did with Brandon, although this would be more of an “imperial handover” scenario.)
If they have to double the fraud margin, oh well.
What are Republicans going to do about it? The national party (and in certain key states, first and foremost Arizona) is still a COMPLETE SHAMBLES.
As I keep saying, without the bottom TOTALLY falling out, the Dems will win, NO MATTER WHO they run.
(As I also keep saying, if it does totally fall out, Repubs will win, no matter who they run… assuming there’s an election)
The Dems don’t need Michael.

If you’re not on that list, neither I nor Manny will ever see your comment; it will be automatically deleted.

Thanks for your understanding!!!
Comments Policy
I really appreciate good comments. Many people come back here, in-between posts, just to read the comments. If you help me entertain them, you’re my hero. A few rules: This is not a chat board. Your comment must primarily, largely involve and directly touch upon something that, or someone whom, I wrote about in the post you’re commenting on. Life reminiscences (if relevant), relating your relevant personal experiences, your job, your commie college girlfriend, your idiot family members, your Ukrainian coworker, etc., if relevant, are all HIGHLY encouraged. The most interesting content here… is YOU. The only exceptions to the on-topic requirement, are if you’re calling attention to a technical problem with the site, or briefly stating how much you love the content or this Comments Policy. Don’t try to “legitimize” an off-topic comment by throwing in some little pre-thought or afterthought about what I wrote. NO DISCUSSIONS THAT STRAY FROM MY TOPICS. My topics are the only common denominator here, and while it may amuse you, most readers have no interest in your thoughts on the Punic wars, or on some guy named Serge, or on how much you generally / generically don’t like the Ukraine and Zelensky; it’s your way to kill your own time, but it adds no value for others. Which means, if you’re responding to someone else’s comment, your response must still relate directly to one of my topics. Doesn’t matter how much you generously donated, these rules apply equally to everyone. 350 word limit, no exceptions, 351 words won’t be published, sorry. No rambling. If you’re not sure what “rambling” is, ask yourself, “Are others likely to understand and appreciate or enjoy my comment, or am I merely jerking off, or spewing toxic diarrhea that no one else wants to smell“? Nazis, commies, worshipful groupies of Mercouris/Johnson/etc., Jew baiters/haters, FBI agents-provocateurs, guys who forgot to take their Ritalin, passive-aggressive needling of the sysop or of other commenters (to include, by dipshits who think their attitude will fly if they mention possibly maybe potentially giving me money at some point—yes, “you people” are all the same), random questions that have no bearing on what I wrote (to include requests for my view on some commentator I’ve never heard of), no-punctuation writing by the smartphone generation, silly “Nadsat” lingo picked up from “The Saker” website, use of the BS term “SMO“, ALL CAPS writing (a sure sign of untreated autism), obsessives who just can’t leave a topic alone after they’ve already said everything (and just want to repeat themselves), and autistic bitching about the satanic USA and its evil pedo pervert elites and how they must be killed (or other bile in that vein), will not be tolerated. If you’ve got issues, this is not your “let it go” zone. Don’t write anything here, that your therapist wouldn’t approve of.
Obama’s (or is it O’Bamá?) mother is Irish. Since this is America the one drop rule applies 🤣
Aaahhh OK.
> Yes, Barack Obama still lives mostly in Washington, DC, which is CREEPY AS FUCK…..
More proof that all this talk about the ‘JQ’ is just a distraction from the ‘IQ’ – the Irish Question. Take the green pill. 🍀
Man, sorry, you lost me.
I thought Biden was the “Irish” one, not Obama.
Sorry for another comment but I now realise that your explanation of the Neo Cons might explain something I could not understand before. China is the biggest long term threat to US hegemony but the Neo Cons have focused on fighting Russia. In their world view that makes perfect sense. To them.
It also explains I guess why even now they resist so called Realist cries to prioritise China. I guess it is also why they seemingly came up with contorted logic along the lines of justifying the fight with Russia as a way of taking away a potential ally for China.
Outstandinng analysis. Very concise.
No need to thank me for money you have earned.
Reference “Why American Jews see Nazis everywhere BUT where the Nazis really are” and a comment a reader made stating that Israel did not have a nazi problem.
Israel government secretly steralizied Etheopian Jewish women through vaccination for 4 years and only stopping when caught seems a tad nazi to me?
Cheers

Audio/visual/written content mix is unique to this blog,
I review every comment here. No one (except you) said there is something bad or not something bad inside Israel. It’s off-topic, not relevant, sorry. Also, I looked at your source, and it seems to be based on just one person’s vague claim. There are other true tales of mass abuse of “darkie” immigrants in Israel, this is nothing. Thanks for all your kind words (and your money.)
I have always maintained that after 1906 the Jewry has set up Germany against Russia – now for the third time!
However, I had never understood so much the seminal import of the Six-Days-War w.r.t. to American left-wing Democrats of Jewish ancestry.
As you have mentioned your birth in Israel, may I be so bold as to ask whether your parents were part of the 1980s emigration wave from USSR to Israel?
B.t.w. do you remember Obama’s visit to the gravesite of Theodor Herzl some ten years ago?
“””I have always maintained that after 1906 the Jewry has set up Germany against Russia – now for the third time!”””
There’s no way to interpret what you wrote, other than that WW1 and WW2 (in Europe, anyway) were caused by a Jewish conspiracy. You’ve left some freakish comments in the past (I’ve had you tagged for “special review” since probably last year), but this takes the cake. Now, you’re blocked forever. Don’t bother responding, because I will never see another comment from you.
Does it even matter if the dems or the republicans win? It’s not like the republicans will get anything done.
They are always complaining about representatives and senators “on the other side of the aisle” eroding democracy, and spending more money than they should, but somehow the topic gets dropped once they actually get into power. We get 4 years of nothing getting done, and when the dems win back the seats, it’s back to complaining again.
It’s the same thing with these senate hearings. Remember Jason Chaffetz grilling the FBI on the oversight committee in 2015? Yeah, me neither, had to look up his name. Not much has changed, has it?
Thanks. Great post. Information on the very specific origins of the Neo Cons as a group that I had not heard from any other sources.
Agree that using that as a label for the entire imperial, hegemonic mentality does not make sense given that pretty much the whole of the media, think tank, political, military and diplomatic communities in both the US (and the vassals in Europe) would then all be Neo Cons.
Very well said. Thanks.
It has just come to my attention that your website is blocked in the UK. I had to set the VPN to another European country to access it. Are you aware of this.
Thanks, but I just now set my VPN to the UK, and the site still works fine. I’m not sure what you experienced.
Isn’t it a Mark Twain quote that goes something like, ‘it’s easier to fool a man, than convince him he’s been fooled’?
In reference to……………………………………………………………………………………………
Thanks very much for all the money. Sorry, yes, as you indicated, this is completely off-topic. I have no idea what it’s “in reference to”, that I wrote or that’s discussed in these comments.
As for (JD) the “previous (Israeli) gov. nearly helping Ukraine”.
There is no “nearly a pregnant woman”, and no “nearly helped Ukraine”. You probably refer to our “Brandon”, aka “Lapid”, (not senile but legally an idiot from birth) who said some things in that direction and immediately got a “shush your mouth” bitch slap from the military and security complex, backed by the foreign affairs outfit, and returned to his usual habit of taking selfies with thick “top secret” portfolios in the PM office.
Anyone who knows what a corrupted semi DMC agents the military complex top brass is here, would understand that the not engaging with Ukraine thing is series.
And…BTW. Ukraine was systematically hostile towards Israel in the UN, so why anyone in the “system” should have bothered for it?
I understand many of your readers are anxious due to this dissonance (Israel not playing the role they assume it will…). Brushing their teeth in the morning while swallowing Eva Bartelats imbaccilic Channel, hoping she will find the “Israeli collusion ” with Ukraine.
But it won’t happen. You know, same as non Americans know. Its an Anglo world war. And Russophobia is an Anglo world issue. And the reason for this comes from the fact they were never defeated and left nose bleeding. Not since long ago. It’s an arrogance thing. And at the end of day rest asure they will blame Ukraine or some other “Borat”.
(As reply Button doesn’t work…).
Regarding “point B”.
Well… if your relative speak Russian and has parents………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
For your $10, you’re abusing, you’ve worn out your welcome. Yes, I have a 350-word comment limit, but evidently, I also need a total daily word limit. (Thanks for the idea.) With this comment that I mostly deleted, you’d have reached 842 words today so far, it’s too much. I have better things to do, than be your discount, “tell me how you feel” couch therapist.
I have heard that Michelle absolutely HATES the masses. That is enough to keep her from running. You found some additional information that is interesting to say the least.
Betting against the mainstream is actually an interesting concept mentioned by Nassim Taleb in his book “Antifragillity” when a person by name of “Fat Tonny” put his bets against the price of oil rising because of the Iraq War.
LOL. “Betting against the consensus” does not mean “betting against short-term financial hypes/panics.”
I could be wrong but from a lot of sources the Wagner Unit isn’t in Niger and hasn’t been. It does maintain contracts with some neighboring African countries who have mentioned either support for the coup leaders in Niger or have demanded a diplomatic approach toward the new government. Wagner may indeed be playing an indirect role in keeping the ill served African country from being “Baghdaded” by American aircraft…….so far. Wagner most certainly has become a fearful boogieman for the collective west.
Regardless, somehow, someway the US and its puppets WILL take back control of all those commodities they have been stealing from that super poor country and do so while continuing to give lip service to the insane notion here of “reparations” for distant past wrongs against the poor black man……and while digging up the Civil War Reconciliation monument at Arlington.
“‘I could be wrong.”” Yes, sorry, you’re wrong. Wagner is presently “helping supervise” all key border crossings into Niger, except for those with Algeria and Benin (which are under France.)
Des Hanrahan. I do not know what are your sources, or to whom you refer as “Israeli civil society” (fictional definition and totally borrowed into the wrong context) but for the last 6 or 7 years Israel had Rapid changes in government, is a 100% internally engaged in a constitutional crisis around the issue of the authority of the supreme court and has no single issue which can be seen as a concensus (or close) EXCEPT for a policy of non intervention in geo political issues not directly related to it. Including internal European power blocks. No one deal with issues or “nazis” (real or imagined) in Europe or with anything else related to Europe. Its a non issue, and should be if you look at the map.
The whole Ukraine/Russophobia/far right/alt right or even Islamophobia are 95% ANGLO world obsessions. Just like blocks Vs whites. Like “genders”. The rest of the world have better, real, problems to deal with.
Even the non-intervention was not a consensus. The last coalition (before Netanyahu came back) was very close to helping the Ukraine with not just tents or medical junk or even helmets, but arms. It’s very likely they would have gone ahead with that, given enough time.
Israeli’s do not “need” to know that modern Ukranian nazionalism is a version of Nazism due to two reasons:
A. Its a middle eastern country and Europe in general seems like a remote place in terms of understanding its geo politics.
B. Ukranians, if remebered at all occasionally, are “mentioned” as those folks the Nazis (the original, competant, ones) would get to your ghetto when the “mission” was too emotially complicated for the SS , Lithuanian white-arm-band, Latvian “activists” etc., to perform.
Russia is actually quite favorably seen and the “pro Ukraine” early 2022 signs one may have seen were among the “Jacob Dreizin’s family” class. AKA what is generally referred as “Russians” (ru-sim, ru-si, ru-si-ya) which covers anyone who as late as 1990 lived under the hammer and cicle flag.
Hello. Regarding your “B.” As of early 2022, my Israeli relative (whose parents were from the USSR, and who still talks to relatives in Russia) had NO IDEA that Ukrainians had anything to do with the Holocaust.
So, no, not “remembered at all.”
Don’t you think Israel wants Russia out of Syria and to weaken Iran more and expand Israel settlements in line with the Greater Israel project? Also when I lived in the South, the Zionist Christian mega churches would preach a lot about rescuing Jews from Russia. So the Zionist Christians and Jews are attached at the hip against Russia. Your thoughts?
Thank you for explaining the Jewish perspective. It helped me put the pieces together. Will massively jabbed Israel, with a “modern” woke military, survive the end of the US hegemony?
Hello. Thanks for all the money. If the Israel Defense Force is woke, that’s news to me.
Since 2014 I have noticed that Israeli opinion ( at Government / senior business level etc.) weren’t very bothered by Nazism as an ideology as long as Jews were not in the firing line . Prior to the start of the war the Far Right in Europe was strongly focused on and virulently hostile to Muslims . They still are but Muslims have to line up behind Russians these days . Since the war started there seems to have been some anti Nazi push back from Israeli Civil Society .
I recall flipping through a book on the shelf of my local bookseller in early 2000s about how the EU would be the global leader of the 21st century. Based on what I knew of modern European economic, cultural, demographic and geopolitical dynamics, I had the sense that the book would age badly and I made a long forgotten mental note at the time to look it up in 10 years time. This post reminded me of it and now, almost 20 years later, I went digging for it.
“Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century” written by Mark Leonard. Lol!!!
Leonard seems to be one of those clowns firmly ensconced in the mainstream. He was the founder of the think tank European Council on Foreign Relations (funded in part by from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations). I notice that he still writes for various mainstream sources including a recent article in Canada’s newspaper of record, The Globe & Mail.
I’ll stick with Dreizin.
That the clown you mention, with the track record that he’s got, still makes money as a persuasive writer, with a large audience, is troubling. He should be working at McDonalds.
Informative and reaffirming blog. Except for the Jewish explanation. “Dual loyalty not a bad thing”.Possibly agree, save for when your host country goes to war? “No Jewish control at present”…implication that there was previously control? You allude to about 20 years ago? This may be a topic to expand on? “They (Jews) do better than blacks” Ha,ha I think you state the obvious here. Where does the enmity towards Soviet Union fit with ‘Aliyah’ (mass emigration from Soviet Union to (in the main) Israel? Will watch the Napoleon film funny funny.
