Shalhevet Parts Ways With Dr. Noam Weissman

Because of how the following email is phrased, I think it was sexual talk that got him in trouble:

Shalhevet High School is saddened to announce that it will be parting company with one of its longtime educators, Dr. Noam Weissman, at the end of the school year.

Dr. Weissman has been affiliated with Shalhevet since 2009, first as a teacher, later as an administrator, and eventually as the Assistant Head of School and Principal. He has been instrumental in the school’s curricular development and cultivating countless programs that contribute to the academic and spiritual growth of our students. For those efforts we are deeply indebted, and we wish him and his family well in their future.

In October, the school received complaints about Dr. Weissman’s behavior towards other faculty members. As required by law, and in conformity with its policies, Shalhevet immediately retained an outside investigator to fully explore these complaints. The three-week investigation included interviews with faculty and staff.

To be clear, the investigator found absolutely no inappropriate physical contact of any sort by Dr. Weissman toward any person, nor any inappropriate conduct of any sort directed to any student. There was, in fact, no allegation by anyone of inappropriate conduct toward students.

The investigator did find that Dr. Weissman had made inappropriate comments to, and conduct toward, certain staff members. He was also unacceptably assertive toward several staff members, both male and female. While Dr. Weissman does not concur with many of the investigator’s findings, and regrets this sequence of events, he and the School have mutually agreed that for the remainder of the year, he would continue teaching with no administrative or supervisory duties, and that he would not return in the fall.

Shalhevet takes its workplace policies very seriously, prides itself as a leader within the Modern Orthodox world, and demands that all of its employees model respect toward everyone in the community. Shalhevet acknowledges the courage of the individuals who came forward to disclose their concerns.

As an institution, we take it as an opportunity to improve our institutional policies and practices. While this experience has been painful for our school, we remain committed to living by our values, reinforcing our high standards, and continuing to fulfill the school’s mission.

Michael Wolff: Trump ‘Aware Of Who’s Jewish In A Way That Feels Creepy’

Noticing is bad. Assimilated Jews particularly hate it when they are noticed as Jewish. People who like their identity don’t mind such noticing.

Forward:

The author of the bombshell new book exposing the inner workings of the White House said in an interview on Monday that President Trump is “aware of who is Jewish in a way that feels creepy.”

Michael Wolff, the author of the new book “Fire and Fury,” also said on MSNBC that he believes that Trump is racist, xenophobic and sexist, and that he views women in “as transactional a way as he thinks about everything.”

When asked by host Katy Tur whether he thinks Trump is anti-Semitic, Wolff demurred, saying that former White House chief advisor Steve Bannon — himself accused of anti-Semitism — thought Trump was a racist but not an anti-Semite…

In his book, Wolff quoted former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger describing the internal battle between Bannon and senior advisor/son-in-law Jared Kushner for control of Trump’s agenda as “a war between the Jews and the non-Jews.”

New York Times Reviews ‘Fire And Fury’ Book

Jonathan Martin writes in the New York Times:

Then there is the sloppiness: The former representative Dick Armey was never House speaker, the Washington lobbyist Hilary Rosen spells her first name with only one “l” and it is Mike Berman, Walter F. Mondale’s former counsel, who breakfasts at the Four Seasons, not the Washington Post reporter Mark Berman.

In other words, I’m really jealous at how successful this new book is and how it eclipses my work. I wish I could write as well and report as deeply as Michael Wolff. By comparison, I am a mere pedant.

Whenever a book review is reduced to criticizing minor spelling errors, you know it comes from a place of pettiness.

The Bondage Of Self

From Wikipedia: “Kevin Alfred Strom was born in Anchorage, Alaska in 1956. Strom’s marriage to his first wife, Kirsten Kaiser, produced three children.[3] Since their marriage ended, Kaiser has spoken about her life with Strom in several interviews.[3][4] She has also written a book on her experiences with Strom and the National Alliance entitled The Bondage of Self.”

Kirsten Kaiser writes in 2009:

My name is Kirsten Helene Kaiser and I am the author of Bondage of Self. It is the chronicle of how I got away from a nasty Neo-Nazi Cult. My husband was a leader in a White Supremacist group. We lived in an isolated compound in rural West Virginia for about 4 years and had then moved to Rochester, MN. While in West Virginia we were a mile from the nearest road and a good hour away from any town with a grocery store. We were not allowed to watch TV, see modern movies, eat meat, or have much contact with any outsiders. I used to pass my time reading magazines from the 1920’s and I can tell you what, “23 Skidoo” means and why it was such a catch phrase, but I had no idea what was going on in modern culture.

I started to question my husband’s beliefs more and more. I was finding it hard to believe that the Jews were really staying up all night long thinking of ways to emasculate white males. In fact, I questioned why white males were so obsessed with being emasculated. I of course was not allowed to disagree with my husband over the issue of whether it was morally OK to eat fish, own leather shoes, mix lemonade with ice tea, or believe that every synagogue was built over the bones of a white woman and a white male baby. Kevin’s reaction to my questioning to anything was to keep me awake until I “agreed” with him. I can tell you from experience that after about 36 hours you will “agree” to anything. These torture sessions started to happen more and more frequently and I simply was, “Not behaving as a good wife should.”

Kevin left me and had taken away my children. I was thrown into an odyssey which I describe in my 2003 book Bondage of Self. It was a long and painful process. My book I starts off in the Mayo Clinic’s Mental Hospital, called Generose, and ends up with me being the Keynote Speaker for the United States’ Justice Department’s Commission on Hate Crimes. I was also interviewed on 20/20, The Learning Channel, “Rolling Stone Magazine”, “Good Housekeeping”, The Southern Poverty Legal Center’s “Intelligence Report” and several local papers and local TV stations.

If you are interested in reading my book Bondage of Self, I usually keep several copies in the trunk of my car. The book is $18.00 and if you get it from me I will gladly autograph it for you.

Like most women I know who regret their choices, Kirsten understands herself as a victim.

Women almost always get custody of their kids, so if a neo-nazi convicted of possessing child porn can get custody of your three kids, you must be something.

On this recent Alt Right podcast, I believe it is Greg Ritter who says that you should never get mad at women because they are amoral in that they lack agency. Only men have agency and only men can be good or evil.

Blood and Faith: Christianity in American White Nationalism

Here are some highlights from this new book:

* We should then understand that Oliver’s critique of what he described as “quaint” patriotism and American conservatism was essentially pragmatic in relation to the survival of the white race. He was clearly provoked to attack National Review and the JBS because of the abject presence of persons whom he perceived to be dangerous racial enemies. But we should appreciate that he was more troubled by the perceived impotence and inadequacy of conservative ideology and praxis, of which, for him, the presence of Jews was a sign and symptom. As this rationalistic pragmatism shaped his critic of conservatism, it also shaped his assessment of Christianity. In a review of William Gayley Simpson’s book Which Way Western Man (1978) in Liberty Bell in 1980, Oliver went so far as to describe Christianity as nothing more than a collection “Jewish superstitions” that have “paralyzed” the “vital instincts” and “rationality” of the white race.

According to Oliver, conservative politics, inhibits the expression of necessary attributes that would ensure the future survival of the white race. But he did not always feel this way. Like his critique of conservative politics, Oliver’s perspective on Christianity changed from his days with National Review, when he saw it as fundamental to the Western tradition.

* Christianity, far from simply supplying the West with its historical identity or culture as it was molded into an expression of the Aryan mind, had been from the beginning the most significant factor inhibiting the might of the West and the full development of Western man’s racial protectionist instincts.

* Europe had become “a society whose inward convictions have been at hopeless variance with the outward professions the events of history have forced it to make.”

* The Bible was indeed not a benefit for Europeans. It was, he argues, “an incubus of which Western Christianity could not rid itself” and had produce irreparable harm to Europeans’ “racial psyche.” “Even at its best … Christianity [had] powerfully and, indeed, immeasurably distorted [Western] culture.”53 Here, even historical Christianity in the West was nothing but an infection that inhibited the full flowering of the West’s potential and the full racial awareness of Europeans.

* Christianity, even anti-Semitic Christianity, is pernicious in its Jewish origins, has distorted the racial identity of Europeans, and has allowed Jews to masquerade as a different religion rather than to reveal themselves as an alien race.

* Reagan, though quickly becoming the hero of Christian conservatives in the newly formed Religious Right, was for Oliver just another example of the failure of the increasingly pro-Israel, anti-Communist conservative movement to prioritize the survival of the white race.

* He argues that biological racial destruction through biological “miscegenation” has its roots in the initial influence of alien ideologies. For him, such histories as that of Rome and India offer for him insight into the “puzzling episodes” in the history of the white race that precipitated destruction through ideological and then finally biological miscegenation.63 His clear point is that Christianity, an alien religious ideology, was the initiating force behind interracial sexual permissiveness that ultimately spelled and spells the end of Aryan dominance in any particular area. Ideological miscegenation always results, so the formula goes, in racial suicide through sexual miscegenation.

Oliver goes further in his book to describe religion as a whole and principally Christianity as a “corrosive acid” that has dissolved “all the natural bonds of society, kinship, family, social status, race, and even government, and replaces them with the fractious and unnatural bond of unanimity and superstition.” He argues that Christianity in particular compels its adherents to “replace race with a church” and has thereby become a “deadly racial poison” that has brought the white race “to the point of death.” And because all such vestiges of religious mysticism, especially Christianity, are so dangerous to the future of the white race, they must be abandoned if the race is to survive. Any such trappings are simply incompatible with civilization.

* I argue that Pierce’s rejection of Christianity emerged from the racial embodiment of Cosmotheist principles that rests on the assertion of a transcendent metaphysical evolutionary racial struggle and spiritual progress that ultimately defines all life in terms of hierarchy.

* Pierce and [George Lincoln] Rockwell shared a penchant for conspiratorial anti-Semitism, a Manichean and militaristic view of the world as the scene of racial conflict, and a myopic focus on white racial survival as the only goal worth fighting for.

* Pierce affirmed that all people are part of a metaphysical and material whole, that each particular being plays a role in the Creator’s purpose, and that all things share in a divine nature.
