Our schools across the US don’t include finance, critical thinking, etc. If we don’t upgrade our schools we will be damned in the future.

I’m wondering where the tipping point is cause I’m thinking we’ve already reached it. We don’t have enough of an educated citizenship that can and desires to run it. Most weren’t prepared They’ve been sequestered from civics and the interaction with that group of people that make policy; instead they’re inundated with sports, cheer, and all the other things that are important but not as important as a proper civics education and honestly, life skills or home economics whatever you wanna call it.

Love Zev♥️

I believe that the so called white nationalist “Christians “ are the ones fomenting the hatred of Jews. Jews are not what is being called. I grew up with Jews and loved every one of them.

Two brilliant people summarizing what is happening.

This story is the dog whose bark is being totally slept on. Zev’s decade plus of independent investigation is very important and needs airtime

@zev there is a podcast called UNFTR (something I can’t remember) that I think you should check out. He doesn’t follow any of the same things you are but there is an overlap of information. He has information, stats and economic indicators/history but is always asking who and you have The Who but are looking for details on the money trail. I’m not positive but if I’m right you might find details and answers with his podcast. This reminded me of one that was alarming about 5 months ago and I went and found the link. Hope it helps! I’ll be reading to see if you find answers!

Happy Passover to you Zev and your loved ones. Thank you for your intrepid reporting. May this year bring liberation from Trump, his children, his regime, Bibi, and all who support him Trump financially.

Thank you also for mentioning, albeit quickly, that Zionism has many definitions, and these labels have become superficial buzz words without meaning, but are being used to stereotype a whole country.

Zionism to some just means that Israel is a state amongst others, that it has a right to exist, like others, including the Palestinians.

Unfortunately, like MAGA here, they have given this concept a religious zealot cult theological twist and turned it into a racist practice (eg taking more land in the West Bank, destroying Gaza, and now Lebanon).

Frankly I used to watch Waj daily, but he constantly has to put "Ashkenazi Jew," when mentioning someone, which he doesn't do for another group, eg. he doesn't say Catholic Rubio, or Hindu Patel, or Christian Trump, or Lutheran Musk. But almost daily Waj does this when it comes to discussing Epstein.

Epstein's use of other Jews, is not any different than what Bill Barr did or does, affiliating with his Catholic cult group, or the "National Prayer Breakfast" and the connections they all make through their religious groups, using these groups to further their political legislation and power.

But only Jews are given the description "Ashkenazi."

Listen to the interview that Waj has with Ellie and Kate, yesterday I believe. Very interesting because Kate has done ian ncredible job on uncovering connections between Bill Barr, his father Donald Barr, and Epstein. But in all that discussion, where Waj helps to summarize her findings there is no mention of "Christian Barr," or "Opus Dei Barr." No he is just Barr.

For Jews it's different, we have to make sure everyone knows it's the "Ashkenazi."

Ok- so by now- if you haven't guessed- I'm taking it personally as a Jew, as a Ashkenazi Jew (although some of my roots go back to Spain! which puts me also in the Sephardic branch- that's how meaningless these labels have become).

I am also posting some of this on Waj's substack.

Sara2's avatar

May I also add, look at Waj's face when you quickly mention this about Zionism, and its definitions. Waj is silent.

But if you go on his show with Danielle Moody, it's quite different. Two weeks ago she mentions "Jewish money." Just like that. A whole group of people. And she often uses the word Zionism and equates it with racism and fascism. Meantime across Africa there are places where African people are being slaughtered daily, in the thousands. In Haiti, for decades the brave Haitan people have been exploited and weakened, by the USA! No mention, because it's not posted 10x a day on Tic Toe or facebook or Instagram, but Hamas, Russia, and Iran they made sure to inundate social media.

Sorry, this just perpetuates antisemitism.

Are there Israeli government policies that are racist? yes. Did Bibi commit war crimes in Gaza yes. he is a war crime, in and of himself, as he should be in jail.

But that has nothing to do with "Jews" or "Zionism," not any different that saying "Christians and Christian money, caused the war in Iraq, Vietnam, or Afghanistan."

The first people the Nazis killed en mass where Germans. They were people with learning disabilities, people with physical disabilities, people who were psychiatrically unwell. Next were the people who were gay, lasbian or in the eyes of the Nazis were sexually deviant. Many of these landed up in the Labour camps attached to the death camps.

Sara2's avatar

Yes Jacqueline, but let us clarify your comment for those who don't know.

The majority of Jews killed in Germany, were German citizens. Many German Jews fought in WW1, and decorated soldiers.

Prior to Hitler, the German government allowed a degree of freedom for German Jews to worship as they like, and work in most fields, including academia. Religious schools, and places of worship thrived. There was a period in Germany, (1800's), that Jewish scholars called "The Age of Enlightenment (Haskala)," where Judaism was modernizing, in terms of allowing more freedom for women, and less adherence to outdated rituals. There were open philosophical and theological debates. This is where another branch of Judaism called "Reform" was developed and became the dominant branch in the US.

This is one reason, out of many, why the Holocaust was so devastating for the Jewish people.

You also left out other groups of Germans who were killed outright, sent to prison or concentration camps, German Christians who went against the regime, married to Jewish people, or hid Jewish people.

Anyone who dissented was punished in one way or another, "en masse." In this regard, there is an excellent movie called The White Rose, about the student group that protested against Hitler.

Thank you for the information. Another group who are rarely talked about are the Romany people, who lost the highest percentage of any group exterminated in the camps, they all went straight to the gas Chambers, none of them were used as labour or experimented on; the only group of gypsies who had some kept alive were Hungarian and played musical instruments, the Germans loved their music. The Romany were nearly wiped off the face of the earth, they don't call this the Holocaust, they call it Porrojamus which means The Devouring.

Sara2's avatar

Yes, I think unfortunately must people do not know enough history of most things, including our Constitution.

From what I remember Hitler didn't spare any of the two major groups Romany and Gypsies, they were all destined for eventual slaughter, the only thing was when to kill them, yes hundreds of thousands.

Yes, they used the medical experiments on the physically and mentally challenged, as a model for the gas chambers for 6 million.

Secondly I was making the point that they killed their own people because they were disabled in some way. They considered them Undermenshen, not people.

Sara2's avatar

Understood- that's how sick they were that disabled people were considered inferior. But we Americans do that also, long history of our "mad houses," insane asylums, and medical experiments on poor Black Americans. Matter of fact, Hitler used the Eugenics movement, started here, as model innate Germany.

If you read Vance, Theil, Musk... i fear it's not much different. Look how Trump mocked handicapped people on stage in Trump 1.0....it's all sociopathic behavior.

But I was trying to make the point that German Jews "were their own people," and thought of themselves as German as anyone else.

Jacqueline Rooney's avatar

My history teacher in junior school tried to help his students. He spent the majority of the war in a Labour camp next to the death camp, so he bore eyewitness to the hell and it's crimes. I knew 3 other survivor of the camps one of whom was a child, her twin died as they were experimented on by the loathsome Mengele.

All we can do is share this info, so we make sure we fight back in any and all ways possible.
