Sundance film festival debuts dark tale of Jewish triplets split at birth

From Times of Israel:

The triplets, it turned out, were among a number of identical siblings split up as part of a dark 1960s “nature versus nurture” social experiment led by psychoanalyst Peter Neubauer of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services in Manhattan.

Visits by researchers throughout their childhoods were explained away as a “child development study” when in reality Neubauer was scrutinizing the brothers’ personalities and relationships with their very diverse adoptive families.

“We really didn’t understand just how egregiously these people behaved,” said Kellman, who told AFP all six adoptive parents were angered that they too had been kept in the dark.

“As we got older, got married, became parents ourselves, we realized how impactful it was.”

…No one has ever apologized to Shafran or Kellman, and the Jewish Board declined to take part in the documentary.

A spokeswoman told AFP it was “committed to providing identified Neubauer study participants access to their records in a timely and transparent manner.”

It is not the kind of language that sits easily with the brothers, however.

“They refer to us as participants,” says Kellman. “We weren’t participants, we were victims.”

Parasha Beshalach (Exodus 13:17–17:16)

Listen here and here.

According to Wikipedia: “In this parashah, Pharaoh changes his mind and sends his army after the Jewish people, trapping them at the Sea of Reeds. God commands Moses to split the sea, allowing them to pass, then closes the sea back upon the Egyptian army. It also contains the miracles of manna and clean water.”

Exodus 13: 17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”

War is rarely the Jews first choice.

13:18: “The Children of Israel were armed when they went up from Egypt…”

So they weren’t pacifists. They didn’t just rely on God to take care of them.

* Ex. 14:5: “When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!””

This reminds me of when you have a girl you’re sick of but you don’t want another guy to have her.

Keeping people around as slaves does not serve you because the slaves hate you and will want revenge. Instead, you want to take the approach of Donnie Azoff in The Wolf of Wall Street:

Donnie Azoff: “Well, basically, you know, if the kid was retarded I would… I would, you know, drive it up to the country and just like, you know, open the door and let it… say “You’re free now!” You know? Like, “Run free!” You know?”

* Ex. 14:17: “I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.””

Some people complain when God lets the wicked prosper. Other people complain when God punishes the wicked. Which do you want? A politically correct Torah would say that God, instead of punishing Pharoah, took him to therapy. (Dennis Prager)

The God of the Jews is the God that the Egyptians worship today (whether they are Christian or Muslim). Nobody today worships the gods of the Pharoahs.

The Torah proclaims that the world is run by a moral order coming from God that ultimately triumphs over evil.

Ex. 14:23: “The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving.”

Sounds like what happens whenever you invade a country you have no business being in, like the US invading Afghanistan in 2002 and Iraq in 2003.

* I’m watching this National Geographic documentary series Chain of Command and it is so gay. The whole premise is that it is tracking America’s war against “violent extremism.” Was the Bombing of Dresden violent extremism? How about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? “Violent extremism” has no objective meaning. If you said, “War against Islam”, then the phrase would have meaning. If you said, “War against our enemies”, that would have meaning. Instead, the series feels like you are watching America drag its slimy tranny dick over the face of the world.

Women keep showing up in the program to remind you that they have no place in the armed forces except as secretaries and nurses. Instead, this series shows them carrying guns and carrying out drone strikes and lecturing military officers of human rights.

ISIS has done some bad things, but at least they’ve never allowed feminism, never allowed women to vote, and never allowed women to lecture their fighters on human rights.

On the other hand, I can view this series as showing America fighting bad guys to enhance freedom and prosperity around the world and as men and women have different gifts, enlisting women in this struggle allows them to make their unique contributions. For example, women often make better journalists and therapists because they’re better listeners and can often make more empathic connections with people.

The most amazing thing to me is not that Ross Levinsohn (as a sales guy) would say and do the things he did, but that the LAT newsroom is both so sensitive and so gay

Read the embedded tweets.

The LA Times has about the most queer newsroom in the country, hence the hyperbolic super-sensitivity to this story. And if the Times reporters are so awesome, how come they didn’t have this story?

If I had to bet, when Levinsohn said he didn’t want to eat lunch with a bunch of ladies and fags, he both meant it as a joke and it was taken as a joke by those he said it to.

As far as hiring bikini models on a yacht off of France, I guess the reporters have no idea how high level sales guys get business. He is accused of kissing someone in front of them, but it was not someone he assaulted and forced himself on. He did rate women and speculated if some woman was sleeping with someone else and if someone was a part time stripper. This is very low level stuff, but we have moved into the cultural revolution (a la Mao Tse Tung) period of “criticism-self criticism” when it comes to sexual conduct. On the other hand, he has been sued for sexual harassment twice, so maybe he has done far worse than what made the NPR story.

WP: David Gelernter, fiercely anti-intellectual computer scientist, is being eyed for Trump’s science adviser

Washington Post:

Computer scientist David Gelernter, a Yale University professor who has decried the influence of liberal intellectuals on college campuses, is being considered for the role of the Donald Trump’s science adviser. Gelernter met with the president-elect at Trump Tower in New York City on Tuesday, according to press secretary Sean Spicer.

Gelernter is a pioneer in the field of parallel computation, a type of computing in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously. The programming language he developed in the 1980s, Linda, made it possible to link together several small computers into a supercomputer, significantly increasing the amount and complexity of data that computers can process. Since then he has written extensively about artificial intelligence, critiquing the field’s slow progress and warning of AI’s potential dangers.

In 1993, Gelernter was seriously injured by a letter bomb sent by Ted Kaczynski, the anti-technology terrorist known as the Unabomber.

Beyond computer science circles, Gelernter has made a name for himself as a vehement critic of modern academia. In his 2013 book, “America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered in the Obamacrats),” he condemned “belligerent leftists” and blamed intellectualism for the disintegration of patriotism and traditional family values. He attributed the decline in American culture to “an increasing Jewish presence at top colleges.” (Gelernter himself is Jewish.)

Bret Stephens in NYT: “A Modest Immigration Proposal: Ban Jews”

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Does Bret Stephens really believe Jewish immigrants are 100% comparable with Haitian immigrants? In Haiti people eat cookies that are made out of mud and sand because that’s how extremely poor they are. Were Jews in Germany, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, etc eating sand mud cookies? No they weren’t. Not even Mexicans eat sand mud cookies let alone Jews and Mexicans are a lot less affluent than Jews. It’s apples and oranges. Apples and apples would be comparing Somali immigrants with Haitian immigrants.

* If we don’t allow in Haitians, what, in terms of enterprise, genius, imagination, and philanthropy will be lost to America as a country? My guess? Not much.

* How much you want to bet that middle-class Jews in suburbia (as opposed to Manhattan NYT readers) quietly wish that Stephens would just shut the @#$& up?

* I’ve had a Jewish boss before, but never a Haitian boss and I doubt I ever will. Haitians are not an economic boom for The U.S and that’s a fact. Haitians are not creating a shitload of jobs for Americans.

* You will never hear any people but Jews boasting to each other about how many passports they have and how many more they can get if need be. Ostensibly this is to escape a new holocaust, but it just so happens to be very convenient for intelligence work. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, because it’s not like Jews were ever caught using the passports of neutral countries to set up an assassination or anything.

* And then we continued to ban Jewish immigration thereafter?

It would mean an enormous difference for America.

Imagine a communist movement in the US that was of only negligible importance.

Imagine university faculty not ranged in hostility against America, whites and Christianity. Cultural marxist movements would have had far less influence in the US.

Imagine a Hollywood that was not consumed with hatred of traditional America and white gentiles.

Imagine no Alinsky. And no New Left – the leadership of the New Left was dominated by Jews. The social upheavals of the 1960s would have been far different and a lot less damaging to American society.

No NAACP – the Jewish effort to supplant the Black Christian church as the political leadership of blacks would never have happened. Race relations in the US would be much better off without the Jewish-dominated media constantly pushing narratives such as Ferguson, Trayvon, Freddie Gray, etc. for the purpose of inciting hatred against whites and stoking racial discord.

No 1965 immigration act – instead of increasing balkanization, tribalism and Third World populations, there would be much greater assimilation and unity.

Imagine what schools curricula would be like without the influence of Howard Zinn and other Jews pushing anti-American themes in the schools.

The victories of the radical left in constitutional law, feminism, environmentalism and many other areas would be greatly reduced.

And on and on. Really, the influence of Jews is so large in so many areas of American society it’s hard to imagine what the US would be like today without the wave of Eastern European Jews and their concomitant social radicalism, anti-Americanism and grievance agenda against white gentiles.

* I’m not sure if its even what was good for our ancestors. Sure we’d probably have a few less things (though European man has been pretty spectacular at creativity and innovation, so it’s doubtful it would be that drastic), but what have we gotten in return? The 1965 immigration bill, the current dispossession of our country, genocide and scapegoating our people? If the choice is living in Mayberry or in what is shaping up to be something like South Africa, I’m choosing Mayberry.

* The balance of positive and negative contributions is hard to estimate accurately but it comes down to this: Jews’ many contributions to science and technology would have been closely matched by non-Jews filling the same positions in businesses and universities. At the worst, there would be a delay here and three. On the other hand, Jewish contributions to the leftist/progressive/communist/anti-white agenda would be unlikely to be matched on a large scale. Without the permanent leftist revolution, the US would not have gone through the demographic transformation.

* “The most heartfelt articles by Jewish journalists tend to be demands that things be handled in such a way that benefit or would have benefited the writer or his ancestors.”

* It’s interesting how Stephens is living in a liberal American city and not Israel. This crap probably wouldn’t go down well there. The Israeli’s aren’t just worried about an influx of non-Jews, they’re also worried about an influx of Jewish refugees from Europe, hence their concerns about Islamic immigration into Europe. Israel is very crowded place and they don’t even have enough space for their own kind, left alone non-Jews.
