Who are the Palestinians?

Jack Chen

This book is written in Latin. In 1695. Rilandy was describing what was then called Palestine.

Author Adriani Rilandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist, he knew several European languages, Arabic, ancient Greek, Hebrew.
He visited almost 2,500 settlements mentioned in the Bible.
He made a population census by settlements.

Here are the main conclusions and some facts:

* The country is mainly empty, abandoned, sparsely populated, the main population is Jerusalem, Akko, Tsfat, Jaffa, Tveria and Gaza.

* Most of the population is Jews, almost everyone else is Christians, very few Muslims, mostly Bedouins.

* The only exception is Nablus (now Shchem), where approximately 120 people from the Muslim family Natsha and approximately 70 "shomronims" (Samaritans).

* In Nazareth, the capital of Galilee, lived approximately 700 people - all Christians.

* In Jerusalem there are about 5,000 people, almost all Jews and a few Christians.

* In 1695, everyone knew that the origin of the country was Jewish.

* There is not a single settlement in Palestine that has Arabic roots in its name.

* Most settlements have Jewish originals, and in some cases Greek or Roman Latin.

* About 550 people lived in Gaza, half of them Jews and half Christians. Jews were successful in agriculture, especially in vineyards, olives and wheat, Christians were engaged in trade and transportation.

The book completely refutes theories about "Palestinian traditions", "Palestinian people" and leaves almost no link between the land and the Arabs who even stole the land's Latin name (Palestine) and took it for themselves.

Book by Adrian Reland (1676-1718) about Palestine, published in Utrecht in 1714.

And now "Free Palestine" people, remind me, please, why are you trying to free Palestine from its original indigenous people (Jews) and give it to Islamist colonizers?

The Hamas Shuffle on Campus

Jack Chen

Students at Boston University, Brown, Northwestern, Harvard and the University of North Carolina said they were planning walkouts or rallies as well.

At Columbia, the new protest camp is still officially a breach of university rules. Some of the chants heard — "We don’t want no Zionists here” and "Israel is a racist state” — are ones that Shafik suggested were creating "a harassing and intimidating environment for many of our students.” But there seemed to be a lull in enforcement, at least for the moment, as university administrators considered whether to suspend and arrest even more students for participating in a movement that clearly has considerable campus support.

Tim adds:

Imagine if the opposite were true and Muslim students were being harassed on campus and protests calling for the extermination of Arabs were ongoing there. Somehow I suspect these universities would do whatever it took to end this. The dirty little secret is these kids didn't come up with this on their own. They were taught this by the same people who now fail to act to secure the safety of Jewish students and allow the destruction of private property. They WANT this, just don't want it getting too far out of hand and thus causing a backlash - especially in charitable endowments from alum.

The Purpose of Progressive Taxation

Maurizio Morabito

Progressive tax rates are only in place to keep the middle classes down

John R Lott Jr

The top 1% of income earners pay 45.8% of income taxes but make 26.3% of income. The bottom 50% of income earners' share of income is almost five times their share of income taxes.

Corrupting Influence

A Greg Delany

The more power "you give" to Government the "more corrupt" it will become! It's a Fact!!!
Here is an example from my life experience.
I earned a job as a Project Manager on a START II, Arms Reduction Act Project in Russia.
I had experience working on these kinds of projects in Ukraine the year before. The man who hired me was the president of a brand new company.
He was a University of Georgia Graduate, that landed an internship as a Page for Senator Sam Nunn, Democrat from GA, and he learned the ins and outs of government contracts, while working for the Senator.
With help from the Senator, and I am sure they both started out with good intentions.
They applied for an Arms Reduction Act Project, that the Senator co-authored. It was written and sponsored by the Senator Nunn and Senator Lugar.
The power of easy money is too enticing and easily corrupts good people.
So my new boss, after learning how to manipulate the system. Invented a new Construction Company out of thin air and bid on a multi million dollar project.
There was no risk to him with a taxpayer cost plus contract, and the Senator would get consulting fees and keep the appropriation committee feeding funds to the project and keep the consultants fees coming.
The phony construction company would do everything in it's control to fulfill the project, but the longer it took to complete, the more money it would make.
The Russians would ask for and receive extra funding for unforeseen costs and they re negotiated the contract throughout the life of the project.
In the end the contract was two years over schedule and five times the original cost projection.
The Russians received three new factories furnished with western technology, equipment and training to build better weapons than the ones we destroyed.
It made all Americans feel proud that we were doing SOMETHING to deter a nuclear war. It was a lie and Americans were told we made the world safer. In reality, we paid for the demolition of outdated Soviet weapons and refurbished the weapons facilities to make better weapons.
It was a Media manufactured False sense of security.
Everyone got rich, except the American Taxpayer, who got fleeced again!
As an example. The first rocket we pulled out of a silo in Ukraine, to be destroyed, was in 1995. The Russian installed Factory Director of a Ukrainian factory, closed the gates and demanded an additional $5 million.
Our Secretary of Defense, William Perry called President Clinton and asked what he should do. They were being broadcast on TV in front of the world, being embarrassed!
Bill said, give the Director the money.
It is better to look good in front of the press than to look like the fools we are!
After that day, the Russian Factory Director closed the gates to our Joint Venture factory every month to re-negotiate!
Here is a bullshit story by the AP press that accompanied Perry on that feel-good tour.
https://apnews.com/article/fec18ceca6c3964a9038e864c09bdacb
Less Government means more control of our own destiny and less chance of tyranny in the form of an abusive Government!
Government is just a propaganda machine. They lie to make you feel good about the money they rob from you!

How many people listen to the lies and propaganda being broadcast as the rewritten history of the Great Socialist Governments of the World? Russia, China and the Democrat in America are world leaders in disinformation and division!

Apoceclipse

by Timothy Birdnow

4/12/2024

I wrote this right after the eclipse but set it aside for a while to take a fresh look. Great art, be it poetry or music or painting or whatnot, has more than one thing you will get out of it if you look at it and that was what I was attempting to do here. Also I wanted to write a kind of biblical tale of the eclipse. See what you think:

Apoceclipse

4/12/2024

Get yourself up, they told me, and behold the death of the light
come and see they scolded me, so I went for the afternoon night

And a great multitude of people, all our nation with cars in low gear
joined together in the great migration to watch the sun's light disappear

The road was was so long; a stream of endless taillights
the engines sang their sad songs as the desperate souls took flight
Start, stop, start at the command of the red warning lights
Like the dripping sand of the hourglass time slipped away in small bites

For hours so it passed and my legs started to cramp
but there was never a rest stop, no sign of an off ramp
there was nothing but the flashing of the stream of red lamps
we kept creeping along as if under a spell, an
enchantment

hour after hour we crept to the dark
like the souls being ferried by Charon, soon to debark

The time was growing short as the hourglass neared dry
I would not make the fort even if my truck could fly
my plans I must abort or the great thing would pass me by
I found a stretch athwart the road and peered up at the sky

The night had taken a bite out of the light

Like Satan devouring souls the sun was turning into night
a round black hole chipped right out of our sight
and slowly but surely the dark one snapped another bite
to swallow up the light in hios orgy of delight

The crowd was silent as the astral specter fed
and watched the stellar violence with very few words said
they watched the grave defilement as the light appeared quite dead
as Diana feasted on the bones and dined on stellar bread

Then, as if on Calvary upon that holiest of day
the sun turned off her light, with one last glorious ray
A starburst pattern, radiant against the lunar night
then all was gone, like a shade was drawn and it
disappeared completely from our sight

The orb of night bleeding tears of light
Dark speck in God's sight
murdering the light
but the star of our birth was not done with the fight

It wasn't gone, oh no!
the mighty Helious still put on a show!

Around the usurper moon there appeared a crown of piercing thorns
placed upon the head of light, a glory to adorn
the darkness had failed and all it's schemes were derailed and the darkness lay bleeding and torn
the beast gone to Jerusalem but facing a
conundrum,never to fully be born.

The darkness held as long as it was able
overcome by it's great struggle it fell right off the table
the sunlight poured out of the bowl, was dished out with a ladle
like that ancient star that hung above the mighty Kings birth stable.

Then the light came back in all of it's splendor
the glory of ages would never surrender
the warming fingers like a mother's, so tender
and the darkness now gone but we must remember

Everyone simply turned round and left
the roadside so full now was bare and bereft
of sky gazers intent on the astral scroll's cleft
of the crime of the night and the light's seeming theft

O simple Man when will the lesson you learn
or will you forget and in darkness will burn?
you see but are blind, you never do learn
what will you do when it soon comes your turn?

I take to the road but follow another path
It is a heavier load but I hope to avoid all the wrath

was it the sun that was shadowed or our minds and our hearts?
is it the sky that was cleft or our reason that parts?
who are we to forsee, with all of our arts
when the great eclipse comes and it all falls apart?

The Burning Dude

Timothy Birdnow

No, it's not the Burning Man festival come early; a crazed protester really did himself on fire outside the Trump trial.

The smoking dimwit - Max Azzerello, was Antifa thug  and "investigative researcher" who posted "start a fing revolution" on his Instragram page.

He ranted on his substack blog about the "fascist dictatorship" with nary the slightest clue as to what fascism is apparently.

Smokie sounds like your standard fried-in-the-wool leftist who sought to end his misery in an act that would get him noticed. It did - by the fire department.

This is the kind of thing you expect from teens but Mr. Azarello is in his mid thirties. He proves leftists never grow up.

He listed his views as "anarcho-communist" on his Linkedin page.

While his body may be sizzling like bacon, it is nowhere nearly as hot as his soul is right now, alas. I do feel bad; he's going to burn in Hell for the sin of suicide (and for being a general ass.)

This man's blood is on the hands of Joe Biden, of Alvin Bragg, and on the TDS-laden media who whipped his sick mind into a fever frenzy.

The powers that be accused Donald Trump of "inciting an insurrection"by asking people to peacefully protest. Why isn't the media responsible for inciting a suicide here?

But then you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, they think. And of course you must put them over a fire...

Reactionless Space Drive?

Carlos Velazquez

This is impressive and could be promising if it really works. Right now, I'm skeptical because it has not been peer reviewed. It is claimed that a force can be produced without fuel being burned and expelled at high speed to provide thrust as Newton's Laws predict.

It is impressive because he is a serious scientist with long NASA experience. However, violating the existing laws of physics is a very extraordinary claim which requires extraordinary proof.

NASA Veteran’s Propellantless Propulsion Drive That Physics Says Shouldn’t Work Just Produced Enough Thrust to Overcome Earth’s Gravity - The Debrief
thedebrief.org


After decades of research, Buhler says he and his team had shown unequivocally that a new, fundamental force was at work and that his devices were tapping into that force to produce thrust without emitting any mass or propellant.

"Essentially, what we’ve discovered is that systems that contain an asymmetry in either electrostatic pressure or some kind of electrostatic divergent field can give a system of a center of mass a non-zero force component,” Buhler explained. "So, what that basically means is that there’s some underlying physics that can essentially place force on an object should those two constraints be met.”

Tim adds:

I am very  skeptical. Reactionless spacecraft violate basic laws of physics and are the equivalent of perpetual motion devices. It's like pulling yourself to the moon with an extension ladder, climbing to the top then pulling the bottom back up and extending it again.

The one thing we know is there is no such thing as a free lunch. The scientist involved works for NASA, so he's a government man. No wonder he thinks he can get free thrust...

Tim adds:

Dimbulb.I guess she wants to make a comeback and needs to polish her Hollywood creds. Would old Molly ever worry about Spike Lee's movies being too black? Why is it that white people can't have movies aimed at them if black people get Shaft and Django Unchained? Why do they get to turn The Equalizer from a white Ennglishman to a black female? Why do they get to turn Dr. Who into a black guy? If Molly's movies were "too white" why are these things not "too black"?

Eraserhead

Diane Kimura

Wikipedia used to have a detailed entry on the concept of Cultural Marxism.

Soon after Katherine Maher became CEO of Wikipedia, the page got deleted and is now called "far-right conspiracy theory".

Maher destroyed the integrity of Wikipedia and is doing the same as CEO of NPR.

Tim adds:

Wikipedia used to have a page featuring the names of a lot of top scientists in multiple fields who disagreed with the whole climate change alarmism business. That page just disappeared after she took over wikipedia and can be found no more (except at Electroverse, who archived it.) It was very damaging because it included some of the top names in science and it damaged the "consensus" claim.

By Their Fruits

Timothy Birdnow

This is as true of Mike Pence and Mike Johnson as it is of Missouri's Evangelical Governor Mike Parsons. There is a strain of Judas in many Evangelicals these days, a strain of folks more interested in following only half of the Word of God and ignoring the other half.

From Pence to Johnson, America’s evangelicals are failing their political mandate

FTA:

In our era, we have created a new heresy — we have "sanitized” scripture.

Witness the bipartisan betrayal that played out in Congress this week. In the face of an ongoing border invasion, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) violated every morsel of his mandate as a public servant to betray his base while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) similarly violated every morsel of his mandate to reward his.

Anybody know the exchange rate these days for 30 pieces of silver?

Johnson, aka Mr. Biblical Worldview, has taken the baton boldly from his nicer-than-God forebear, Mike Pence. Both men rose to a level of political power beyond that of any other evangelical in their generation. And both men sadly, but perfectly, personify the piety-over-conviction, flight-over-fight cowardice that has infested too many of America’s evangelical pulpits at great cost to the message and the mission of Christianity. (See Pence and his feckless leadership of the COVID Task Force as Exhibit A.)

[...]

And now, just one generation later, we have ended up with soft-headed, sweater-vested, pleated khakied beta males like Pence and Johnson who think they are "loving their neighbors as they love themselves” by siding with the enemy against their own God.

Many evangelical churches cater week after week, year after year, to those who have rejected God but are repackaged as "$eeker$.” If that sounds like a grift, it is. But you ask, doesn’t mercy triumph over judgment? Yes. But it doesn’t cancel it. There is still a hell, and people are sadly going there each day. And one of the reasons why is this sanitized-for-your-comfort heresy that makes church normies think they’re saved when they’re really false converts.

[///]

And neither will the bride (the church) adequately succeed her groom (Christ) by peaking at mere conversion. "By their fruit you will know them,” our Lord says. Well, Pence and Johnson may be the most high-profile and influential evangelicals of their generation. In Johnson’s case, he’s one or two heartbeats away from holding the most powerful office on the planet. Yet what does the fruit of their public service reveal about them and the pastors who mentored them?

The verdict is in. The evangelical church clearly failed such men and legions more. We needed Daniels. We needed Nehemiahs. Instead, they gave us Jezebels.

Johnson - The Democrat's Speaker

Timothy Birdnow

The House Rule Committee passed the foreign aid package out of committee with more Democrat than Republican votes - a first in American history, according to Breitbart.

What is the point of electing Republicans to power when they fornicate with the Democrats? Johnson may as well switch parties and be done with it.

BTW there is no reason to make funding to Ukraine and Israel one bill and by keeping them split you put Joe Biden in the hot seat. What the appropriately named Johnson has done is toss Biden a lifeline by allowing him to sign one bill and thus letting him off the hook. With a stand-alone bill Biden would either sign it and enrage the leftist kiddie kooks in his party or veto it and enrage Jewish voters. Now he can sign it and excuse himself because it was part of a package deal.

Johnson is both a fool and a jerk.
