After Watching Jonah Hill Movie, Kanye West Says He Likes the Jews Again; The Jews Aren’t Impressed
The mystifying success of talentless shlubs such as Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, each of whom has accrued an estimated net worth of $45 million in the entertainment industry by being dauntingly and almost threateningly unentertaining, is only explicable if one wholeheartedly embraces the premise that the Jews run Hollywood. If the Jews didn’t run Hollywood, neither one of these charmless spuds would manage to land even a supporting role in a local dinner-theater production of The Music Man in a small town somewhere on Nebraska’s remote western plains.
Mind you, one not need be an anti-Semite to hate the talentless kosher butterball named Jonah Hill. I’d hate him even if I didn’t know he was Jewish, and I’d swear on a stack of Talmuds to prove it.
You may recall the name “Kanye West.” Since emerging as a hip-hop star in the early 2000s, the mercurial Negro made over a billion dollars being a dumb rapper and sneaker mogul, then blew most of it in October 2022 with a very public spate of gleeful and possibly chemically-induced Jew-naming. He entertained a presidential candidacy for a hot minute, then seemed to vanish from public view shortly after messages emerged from erstwhile Ye24 campaign manager and “ex-homosexual” Milo Yiannopoulos alleging that Kanye West was also a homosexual.
In February, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported the titillating news that West’s public statements about Jews had led to “dozens of Kanye-linked antisemitic attacks.” An article about the ADL report in The Times of Israel relayed the following terrifying statistic [emphasis added]: “There have been over 10,000 Twitter mentions referring to the ‘Ye is right’ slogan, reaching at least six million users.”
On Saturday, in what is said to be his first social-media post since his high-profile unpersoning, West went on Instagram to share the following with the world:
Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again
No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people
No Christian can be labeled antisemite [sic] knowing Jesus is Jew
Thank you Jonah Hill I love you
West was referring to Hill’s starring role in the 2012 movie 21 Jump Street, which itself was a repackaged version of a 1987-1991 TV series starring Johnny Depp, which only goes to show what I’ve been saying since the mid-1970s, which is that Hollywood ran out of ideas at some point between the first and second Jaws movies.
Some question the authenticity of West’s post. Did he actually watch 21 Jump Street? Did he really think Jonah Hill was funny? Did he really have an epiphany about his “anger” and “hatred”? Most importantly, does he sincerely believe that millions of Jews are innocent?
ADL Chief Jew Jonathan Greenblatt did not accept West’s come-to-Moses moment:
This is ridiculous and not remotely serious. If Kanye West wants to make amends for his vile #antisemitism, and to heal the pain he inflicted, it’s a long road and he hasn’t even started the journey.
The fact that Greenblatt makes “antisemitism” into a hashtag is funnier to me than anything Jonah Hill has ever done.
Professional online Jewish gadfly Brian Krassenstein wasn’t havin’ any of West’s apparent repentance, either:
As a Jew, it will take a lot more than Kanye West saying he “likes Jewish people again” after “watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street,” to make me think he’s not a Nazi. Why? Because saying that a movie performance by one Jewish man was awesome doesn’t erase you telling the world that you are a Nazi. Clearly Kanye is mentally disturbed and a complete mess, but some things you say will follow you for life. Saying “I’m a Nazi,” is certainly one of them! Now put your MAGA hat back on and fade away into oblivion
Why did Krassenstein need to start his post with the phrase “as a Jew”? The name “Krassenstein” wasn’t enough of a tipoff? Does he shapeshift in and out of Jew form? Does he make other comments “as a Martian”?
I gotta tell you — these Jews don’t seem like a very forgiving bunch. What did God choose them for, anyway — to be annoying?
Black Nurses and Assisted-Living Fight Clubs
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
After fighting the Civil War — which was clearly a mistake — perhaps the biggest blunder Americans ever made was to allow blacks to have paying jobs.
Imagine the nightmare of being a liver-spotted 91-year-old on dialysis in an assisted-living facility while nurses named Shaqueequa and Defecatia are smacking you in the face with their grimy paws smeared in Kentucky Fried Chicken grease.
Don’t think such a nightmare can’t happen to you. After all, it’s happened before. Multiple times.
The latest allegations to emerge about black nurses behaving badly come from St. Petersburg, Florida, where 23-year-old failed particle physicist Rosa Edwards and 19-year-old aspiring chess grandmaster Aneisha Xitvaia Hall are each charged with two counts of battery on a person 65 years or older regarding an event which they allegedly claimed had merely been an altercation between two geriatrics in which they were not involved. According to a Sheriff’s report:
Deputies say the incident was initially reported by staff as a resident-on-resident battery, however, the director became suspicious of the claims. . . . Throughout the course of the investigation, it was discovered that two employees, 23-year-old Rosa Edwards and 19-year-old Aneisha Hall, initiated an altercation with an elderly male resident. The resident was pushing an elderly female resident down the hall in her wheelchair. Deputies say Edwards began to whip the male resident with a lanyard while laughing when a physical altercation ensued. Edwards and Hall proceeded to grab the male resident and take him to the ground as he continued to hold on to the wheelchair, causing it to fall sideways with the female resident in it. Both Edwards and Hall then ran away from the area of the incident and out of view of the camera, leaving both elderly residents laying on the ground.
Edwards had previously been charged in 2021 with a count of battery on a person 65 years or older when she allegedly struck a man in the head. According to a police report, “Post-Miranda, the defendant admitted to hitting the victim in the head using her right hand.” It’s unclear whether or not Edwards was convicted of a crime for that situation, but it’s clear that she was allowed to continue working in nursing homes.
An alarmingly graphic video from 2021 shows one black nursing-home worker in Savannah, Georgia chuckling as she films another black nurse punching and grabbing the hair of an elderly white woman in a wheelchair before dragging her to the ground and continuing the assault.
In Sun City, Arizona in 2020, a black “caretaker” named Gloria Biamushinga — weren’t there Biamushingas on the Mayflower? — was accused of assaulting a 96-year-old woman at a nursing home.
In North Carolina in 2019, three female black nurses whose complicated names included such charmingly non-traditional monikers as “Latish,” “Tonacia,” and “Taneshia Deshawn” were accused of “running a dementia fight club [and] pitting patients against each other.”
In 2018, after the 84-year-old father of former Trump National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster, Jr. fell and struck his head at a living facility in Philadelphia and died a few hours later from a brain bleed, a black nurse named Christann Gainey falsified records that she’d performed required neurological checks on the patient as he died. Despite the fact that video surveillance reveals that her neglect possibly played a role in the man’s death, Gainey got away with pleading guilty to a misdemeanor.
59-year-old black nurse Marine Jeanty was arrested in 2015 on felony assault charges in Queens, New York for allegedly hitting an 80-year-old bedridden woman in a nursing home and giving her a black eye.
In a 2014 case near Boston that police called “one of the worst cases of elder abuse” they ever saw, 48-year-old black nurse Sandra Luciene-Calixte was charged with keeping a 75-year-old woman “in a frigid basement room” with bed sores “so advanced they exposed bone, according to a police report.”
If my kidneys start to go, just shoot me.
Robin DiAngelo Pulls a Reverse Scott Adams, Tells “People of Color” to “Get Away From White People”
Few people have made more of a career out of white self-loathing than Robin DiAngelo, authoress of the 2018 tome White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism.
For someone who claims that other white people are fragile, DiAngelo looks as if her face is going to shatter into a billion tiny ceramic shards at any moment.
Her newest book, published in August 2022, has the extraordinarily catchy title of The Facilitator’s Guide for White Affinity Groups: Strategies for Leading White People in an Anti-Racist Practice. Although you couldn’t pay me a million dollars to read it, DiAngelo apparently suggests within its pages that white people should cluster together within their own segregated racial circles, and she was saying this way before Scott Adams was.
During a March 1 webinar called “Racial Justice: The Next Frontier,” DiAngelo opined: “. . . And then I’m a big believer of affinity space and affinity work and I think people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other.”
So she’s saying that white people should stay away from black people, and black people should stay away from white people? If this is the inevitable result of anti-racist activism, I see nothing wrong with it, and consider myself to be Robin DiAngelo’s ally.
As I’ve been saying for years, for racism to exist you need more than one race living together in close quarters. No races, no racism.
Boston Radio Jock Suspended for Referring to Asian Woman as a “Nip”
Except for the one-tenth of one percent of “unassigned” DNA that 23andme includes merely to fuck with my mind, I have good reason to believe that I am of entirely European descent. If you were to refer to me as a “Euro” rather than a “European,” I would not be offended. Then again, I’m white, and even though we’re so “fragile,” we seem to be the only people left on the planet who don’t get offended at everything.
Last Wednesday morning on a Boston radio sports show, a crew of stereotypically goofy boss jocks were discussing a proposal by the City Council to ban “nips” — those tiny bottles of booze you often see on airplanes — because they are too small for recycling and because alcoholic derelicts leave them strewn all over the streets. While discussing their “top five nips,” some of the announcers discussed brands such as Fireball, Skrewball, and Dr. McGillicuddy’s. Producer and “on-air personality” Chris Curtis chimed in with “I’d probably go [with] Mina Kimes,” referring to a mixed-breed ESPN announcer who is partially of Korean descent.
From what I can tell, it was a simple joke based on the idea that Kimes was Japanese rather than Korean. If anything, Curtis was trying to say that he found her attractive.
Quicker than you could say “Charlie Chan,” ESPN fired off a statement to USA TODAY Sports, calling Curtis’ little joke “uncalled for and extremely offensive . . . there is no place for these type of hateful comments.”
On Thursday, as he began a weeklong suspension, Curtis offered the following overwrought, groveling apology, convincing absolutely no one that he actually meant to reference Jewish actress Mila Kunis rather than Korean-American broadcaster Mina Kimes:
In a pathetic failed attempt at a one-liner, I attempted to bring up Mila Kunis, which was not really that funny, sophomoric and sexist. But for reasons I really don’t understand, I said Mina Kimes. That was never the intention for me to say her name. It had nothing to do with the subject matter, and it dragged her into a controversy through no fault of her own regarding a slur and her race and that was not at all what my intention was, but it doesn’t matter because of the absolute chaos my words created for someone who’s just doing her job covering the NFL at ESPN. So I want to apologize to Mina Kimes, I want to apologize for the stupid, lame attempt at a joke. It was something that there’s just really no other way to put it . . . it was dumb and it was silly.
Shut up, Chris Curtis.
Just as how the word “Euro” is merely a truncation of “European,” the word “Nip” represents nothing more sinister than a shortening of Nippon, the Japanese word for “Japan.” Back when the United States was a more sane and cohesive nation, it was used in the adorable 1944 Looney Tunes short Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips, 1945 headlines such as “NIPS SURRENDER” and “ATOMIZED NIPS CALL IT QUITS,” and even as the title of a 1965 episode of TV sitcom McHale’s Navy called “A Nip in Time.”
I liked the Nips better when they were surrendering.
As Arabic Street Signs Appear in Germany, Wales Starts Tearing Down Statues of “Old White Men”
In the once-great nation of Germany, where immigrant violence on New Year’s Eve is becoming a national tradition, an Iranian-born refugee named Karim Khani has garnered literary plaudits by taunting indigenous Germans, whom he refers to as the “bio-Deutsch,” about their imminent demographic extinction.
As springtime blooms in Deutschland, the city of Düsseldorf has unveiled its “first Arabic-language street sign.” According to reports, “Islamic associations and the Green Party are praising the new development.” It’s unclear how the “bio-Deutsch” feel about the new street sign, because as far as I’m aware, they’ve been forbidden from speaking publicly since 1945.
In Wales, which never seems to get a lot of attention — and possibly for good reason — a 2021 government audit “identified 209 statues, street names and other monuments which commemorate people who were ‘directly involved’ in the slave trade as heroes.” As a result, statues of “old white men” such as Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington may be razed or hidden from view so as not to offend the “diverse modern public.”
When the initial audit was released, Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “While the tragic killing of George Floyd happened almost 4,000 miles away, it sparked global action that shone a light on racial inequality in society today.”
Shut up, Mark Drakeford.
The template for this sort of cultural erasure was set way back in the Book of Exodus: “But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves.”
Oh, what a great time to be a white person.

Bangin’, just bangin’. Goad’s posts make my day.
As for the following: I gotta tell you — these Jews don’t seem like a very forgiving bunch. What did God choose them for, anyway — to be annoying?
The answer is, yes, yes, and again yes.
The Old Testament makes it clear God chose them to rule over the filthy goyim.
I am well aware of that. The Old Testament also makes it quite clear that it is a record of the Jews unfailing ability to veer quickly off the path of righteousness that was established for them. Have you ever counted how many times the OT says, “And God’s wrath was kindled”? In the OT, the Jews are CONTINUOUSLY pissing off God.
And here’s the question no one has ever been able to answer: Why would a perfect God ever get pissed off, much less continuously? I’ll await your answers, because I’ve heard every last one of them, and none of them ever makes a lick of sense.
Because his creation is not.
Because his creation is not.
So rather than risk all that constant masochistic agitation and the resultant sadistic punishment he doles out for all the imperfections out there, why didn’t he just create something perfect? And if he chose not to create something perfect, wasn’t he expecting it to be imperfect? Didn’t he allow it to be imperfect? And if so, why get mad about it—constantly? Why torture people eternally in hell for a situation that he created and could have stopped? Also, why is he jealous? Aren’t anger and jealousy signs that someone isn’t in control of a situation?
As Epicurus put it:
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Heavenly Father,
I know if I don’t do as you command, you mad. But if I do what you command, I’m mad.
Better you mad.
It’s because of his creation of freewill consciousness. Without this gift people would be automatons under a patriarchal dictatorship. The Creator would rather suffer his creation rebelling against him than have made them slaves to him. Possessing freewill is essential to him. He refuses to accept that this gift is worthless. When his creation elevates themselves above him he becomes jealous. It’s impossible to be above the Creator but with his most valuable gift of freewill consciousness, which he never denies it’s worth, his creation tries to invalidate it to it’s ruin. Humanity strives to be under tyrannical domination in spite of him. This angers him and the Bible has a multitude of detailed information on how to prevent and to be free from this evil. Basically he created us to want to be free. He doesn’t like it when we choose to discount our freedom in favor of power and wealth. He humbly wants us to be free.
If God truly loved humans, he wouldn’t have afflicted us with Jews.
God is under a lot of pressure from above to enact a specific plan in a specific amount of time, hence the short leash around which he holds the Israelites.

Hello Jim,
If you read through this article you will see that you are quoted.
Malcolm
Russophobia? Is Arktos going to go to war against Islamophobia and transphobia next?
God’s righteous anger is good, if you deny that fact, then you are a fool. “For the fool has said in his heart, there is no God.”
I’ll have a go Jim. Keeping it short. Today we are said to be living in the Days of Noah which means that God will again “be pissed” and drown us, or rather, cleanse by fire this time which makes more sense as we continuously create abominations in the lab. Not only would God disapprove of the way we treat his creation in the development of the new “Jabs” but as the layman discovers what the jabs are doing to us the future is grim, especially as the MNRA jabs are destined to enter the food chain via cattle and pigs. Speaking of farm animals which we keep in overcrowded cages the same is now being applied to humans as we are herded into cities with increasingly smaller living spaces.
We have also turned on his injunction of “kind after kind” as our once beautiful cities are overrun by foreigners; having forgotten who we are. We also glorify in usury and our morals are down the toilet; deficating on the streets of San Francisco being the least of our problems. Adrenochrome is another horror story and if any of the screams of the children being harvested reach up into Heaven I’m quite sure God is pissed. It’s enough to make Sodom and Gomorrah blush.
*Florida.
I would say that between the ever increasing black racial resentment and hostility being goaded on by the media and the entertainment industry as well as the current trend of law students shouting down speakers with “problematic” views and forcing deans to endure Marxist struggle sessions and walks of shame, I’m fairly confident that white people will be treated fairly and equally under the law in the not so distant future.

(do I get bonus points for using “goad” in a sentence?)
Jonah Hill isn’t talented, but he’s Laurence Olivier compared to Seth Rogen.
That’s how bad Seth Rogen is.
Agreed 100% lol
I have felt this way for years. But remember the special privileges they both have in the entertainment industry due to their ethnicity
Try making it through a few minutes of Seth Rogen’s “Hilarity for Charity”. He tries to stay relevant by being a do gooder and going over the top in his love for leftist values. I have to worry all his charities sank as so little talent was evident on his part. More weed jokes, man. I guess he never saw the irony of Beavis and Butthead and thought it would be fun to lean into it. If The Interview had not led to an international incident he would probably have been forgotten by now.
Robin DiAngelo writes that she wants white people to talk about racism. Does she really mean she wants them to be lectured?
An amazing quote Jim drudged up amidst the Kanye fracas:
There have been over 10,000 Twitter mentions referring to the ‘Ye is right’ slogan, reaching at least six million users.
That bit of ‘dog whistling’ was so loud I forgot the rest of my comment.
I think Robin DiAngelo hopes that her dusky pets won’t put her stringy neck in the guillotine. Good luck with that.
I doubt she has thought any of this through. Not only have we admitted into college people who have no ability to think through the potential positives and negatives of ideas, thoughts and actions, we have elevated them to Phds and tenured professors. Heck, Henry Kendi has his own endowment at Boston U.
None of these geniuses have thought through even the best case scenario. ‘Let’s see. If this goes perfectly according to plan my children and grandchildren will be dispossessed, despised and a numerical ethnic minority in the society that my parents handed to me to steward for future generations. And the majority will see that they are endowed with a suicide wish and my blessings for their destruction. Perfect!’
No. They probably do not even have the concept of being responsible stewards of an inheritance in their heads.
Kanye needs a rest. I too know that feel, when you are being branded nazi or racist or whatever and everyone is against you. It’s damn tiring.
In this time of worldwide crisis brought right into our homes via modern technology, I actually find the honest duplicity and self-interest of the Jews to be an invigorating change compared to the pathetic masked liberal gentiles. Yes the country is going to the dogs, yes people and drugs stream through the border, yes this criminal rouge administration wants war, yes we were all poisoned by these COVID ‘vaccines,’ yes violent crime is out of control. However we here at CC remain the real villains to the leftoids, and our healthy racial awareness never ceases to drive them crazy. To every reactionary, conservative, identitarian, to nationalists of all stripes and sundry right-wingers, we have nothing but the truth on our side. Our foes are not to be underestimated, but their schemes have never and will never work. Multiculturalism causes conflict, the void of godlessness is always filled with something else, demographic subversion makes elections illegitimate, western civilization is the creation of Europeans.
Seeing all these old timers getting beaten up and abused makes me wish I never quit smoking. What’s the point of being healthy and living too long? My father and uncles had the right idea, smoke 3 packs a day, eat what you want, drink as much as you can handle and get out of here before you hit 80.
After having quit for 14 years, I picked it back up during the scamdemic. I’m still dumbstruck by these two things; 1. How could I ever allow myself to go back to such a filthy, socially unacceptable habit? 2. How the hell did I ever manage to make it through 14 YEARS without a cigarette?
This is in response to Bellios01, because for some reason these threads cut off after a certain number of replies. Bellios1 writes:
The Creator would rather suffer his creation rebelling against him than have made them slaves to him. Possessing freewill is essential to him. He refuses to accept that this gift is worthless. When his creation elevates themselves above him he becomes jealous…
Etc., etc., nothing I haven’t heard a billion times before.
I’ll just assume you didn’t read my prior comments about this or the Epicurus citation. Here goes again:
What’s “free” about exercising “free will” and then getting punished eternally if you choose to exercise it? If I tell you an apple is free, then you take it, and then I toss you in a molten lake for eternity, tell me what’s “free” about that. Sounds more like the most draconian form of slavery ever conceived.
What’s “perfect” about getting angry or jealous when you’ve set up the entire system and allowed it to happen? Again, is he surprised? He wasn’t anticipating it? None of this describes an entity that’s remotely perfect. It sounds like a deeply troubled and savagely flawed human.
If “he” actually wanted us to be “free” from this “evil,” he could have averted the entire mess by not setting it in motion, fully cognizant of how it would turn out.
And every atheist has made these arguments a billion times for 1500 years. If he created the universe, he might do things that humans on occasion wont understand or like. The bible doesnt make the free will argument directly or even address why God created the universe, heaven, hell, people or life. Many claims about Gods character were ascribed by english speaking clergy and not biblical. Christians can speculate, but the scripture is unclear.
There are arguments for and against the existence of God, but asking “why” doesnt prove or disprove something’s existence. We could claim its unlikely God is real because we’d expect him to be more rational. I feel the same way about quantum physics and theoretical astronomy.
I never said I was an atheist, although a lot of people seem to think the only two options are “the contradiction-addled Christian narrative” or “the void.”
When people talk about “God,” at least in the West, they seem to mean an actual entity with a personal, finite identity not unlike a human with superpowers. That seems to be why they ascribe all kinds of human frailties to “him.” That’s certainly how the Old Testament, New Testament, and Koran portray “God.” I’d say it’s extremely unlikely that there’s a “God” in that sense. An all-pervading power, consciousness, etc.? Much more likely.
I’ve said many times that the origin(s) of the universe and the force(s) that guide them are probably right in front of our faces, but we’re just too dumb to comprehend them—and that’s why people look extremely silly when they just make shit up.
The scripture is unclear.
Well, you got that right. It also directly contradicts itself in numerous places. I know this because I used to be a believer, but I wound up reading The Bible way too much. Just like I later couldn’t keep lying to myself that people were equal—and much earlier, that the evidence weighed heavily against the Santa Claus narrative—I couldn’t be honest with myself and continue believing in the Christian narrative.
Regarding the scripture being unclear, there’s the Giant Christian Loophole. “Der, it’s esoteric. We can’t understand it.” So then why even pretend to believe in it? Just have the balls to say you don’t know.
Kilgore Trout wrote a story about two yeast molecules having a conversation about the meaning of life. They never came close to the idea that they were making wine. I suspect that’s how it is with us.
My response to the “free will” argument is to ask about heaven. If sin and degeneration are necessary products of free will, which is so important, then will there be sin and degeneration in heaven? If so, what’s heavenly about it? And anyway I heard it was supposed to be perfect bliss up there. Or if not, why not? Because God will take away our free will when we get to heaven? That contradicts the claim that it’s so important for us to have it. Because it actually is possible to have free will and goodness at the same time? Great, why not do that from the first place, then?
When an individual freely harms someone else the other person’s freewill is also affected. We are to treat one another as one would want to be treated. This harmful nature of treating others in thoughts and deeds can carry with us eternally. Heaven cannot be a place where this is a reality forever. We have to choose to treat others as well as we can and trust that Jesus Christ finds us worthy to enter into this divine realm. Christians accept that the kingdom of heaven is within us too as you know.
When we choose to harm others by action or by inaction the punishment may be that we are found unworthy to live forever in heaven. Because in heaven we choose not to harm others or oneself. The commandment to Adam was not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Every other tree yes. God let him know that he would lose his eternal life if he ate from it. The serpent declared that Adam and Eve would be as God if they ate from the tree of good and evil.
This exercise of freewill consciousness had serious consequences. I guess your point is why set up this tree that leads to death and destruction? It wasn’t God that set this up. It was the anointed cherub that did. I think I understand that creating the devil is just as ridiculous. Why be so lofty with the devil? Because the consequences has to do with eternal life. I’m thinking Mr. Goad that the freedom to choose eternal life is the significant factor here.
I hope I am not too much of a bore. I understand that you possess a decent amount of theological knowledge. If I have patronized you I apologize. I’m trying to be as intelligent about this as I can off the cuff.
Thank you for your patience. And I enjoy reading most of your articles being originally from the beautiful and somewhat cute city of Detroit.
When we choose to harm others by action or by inaction the punishment may be that we are found unworthy to live forever in heaven.
And so when we choose to harm others, even intermittently or maybe even only once over an average lifespan of 70 or 80 years, God’s perfectly rational response is to choose to have us wailing and gnashing our teeth in unimaginable pain forever, where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched.
That’s not overkill, and it’s not hypocritical, despite Jesus’s condemnation of hypocrisy in Matthew 23:27-28. It’s horrible when we do it, but it’s righteous when he does it a millionfold. And “putting the fear of God” into children by terrorizing them with this sort of psychotic shit is definitely not child abuse.
Same thing goes for Psalm 37:8: “Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.” By contrast, the literally hundreds of Bible verses where God doesn’t refrain from anger and wrath represent the ultimate good, not evil. It’s great when he does it, awful when we do it.
Sure. Makes perfect sense.
JG, you would probably find the work of Russell Gmirkin to be of interest. Gmirkin’s an independent scholar who has applied the methods for analyzing classical texts to the Bible. According to his thesis, the Pentateuch was written around 270 BC — as opposed to translated — by the Septuagent at the Library of Alexandria.

Deuteronomy is a real hoot. Just following orders, the special bearers of light, find a land. They like it. They covet it, despite that particular commandment. Then, they weaken the peoples by sickening and picking off their warriors and men. Then they unleash a total genocide, complete annihilation – not a single man, woman or child spared.
There was never any provocation. The reasoning is that God told them to because those other people’s God sucked. How convenient. You find some land you want, you don’t want the headache of a long term, rebellion and blood libel, so just get rid of them all and say God said to do it. Don’t blame us. Blame him!
Today the invading aliens and ticket taking representatives do the weakening up. Even titanic, “scholars”, like Jordan Peterson renounce those who speak out against the parliamentary alien infiltrators, brazenly, openly and venomously marking the people’s representatives for replacement – to their faces. Not a word of protest spoken in that chamber. At least Deuteronomy was done with bare hands. This epoch’s chapter is diabolical beyond comprehension. They don’t even have to censor their historical account of a brazen genocidal land grab, while we are censored, our books and history rewritten, “edited”, and black washed. It is embarrassing how easy it has been so far.
I don’t listen to Rap or any other music that Blacks make anywhere from L.A. to Timbuktu. I have not watched a movie made in Hollywood by Jews or any other clever ‘wanna-be’s’ trying to crash the scene in the past 20 years, with the exception of “La La Land”, the last White movie made with any appeal to White audiences (witness the “Sing-Along” show at the Hollywood Bowl). I also never watch American TV shows of any sort, and rely on the English detective shows, from “Poirot” to the current “Broadchurch”. However even these two intelligent delights are tainted by what I call “The Requisite Black”.
I don’t ‘hate’ any of the above-named detractors to our race; rather I just ignore their productions, along with their whining about myriad other problems which they blame on us, and I continue on my merry way of life, keeping a sufficient distance from their outbursts and other criminal explosions.
In regard to “Black Nurses and Assisted Living”, those of us Whites who have not yet created a family of sufficient size (i.e., wife — 0r hubby — and 3 or 4 kids, and good relations with in-laws, etc., not to mention a sizeable bank account) and genteel cohesiveness, we too will end up in ‘Care Homes’ and ‘Assisted Living’ situations, with only “Non-White nurses” to care for us. Most of these ‘ladies’ have been raised and ‘educated’ in Third World situations, and most of the ones from America have been brought up to ‘hate Whitey’.
I cannot emphasize how important it is for all of the readers here to start thinking seriously about HOW TO AVOID THIS. Philipine nurses in the emergency room of a fine urban hospitals are the least of your worries. Begin thinking and planning now on how to avoid this impending. Shooting yourself is really not an option at that point.
Dear Alexandra O. – As an older White lady, childless and with mental health dysfunctionalities, this is increasingly uppermost in my mind.
Hyacinth,
I was an orderly in one of those places for 28 years and i can safely say the chances of you being abused are less than being in a car crash. I only knew of one case of abuse in all my working years and it was the Nurse Aides that picked up on it and zeroed in on the culprit. Besides, if you think everyday living is becoming like living in a police state with constant monitoring you can’t imagine what it is like working in your average care home and if you have dementia the monitoring in those places is even worse so just relax and enjoy your remaining years.
P.S. Most Cares Aides really do care.
Sandy, thank you for your kind and reassuring reply. The complicating factor for me, as an intensely private individual, is the thought of the very surveillance and monitoring that is endemic in any type of care institution. I live as a recluse; and part of the calculation I make in determining when my quality of life will no longer be sustainable is my ability to live independently — alone and apart from others.
