Mosaic: ‘In the Safe Spaces on Campus, No Jews Allowed’

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

Mosaic magazine: “College students have risen up to fight racism on campuses across the country. But it is often those very same students who subject Jewish students to anti-Semitism.”

That’s not a useful analysis. Who-whom is more accurate. Who is ruling over whom? People of color are not particularly fond of Jews running the show.

Buzzwords like “racism” and “anti-Semitism” are simply junk terms for conflicts of interest. “Hate speech” is speech that a group with power does not like.

Mosaic: “It was this disquieting, yet growing, trend of hate speech and crimes directed towards Jewish students within the UC system that spurred Mokhtarzadeh and Rosenberg, both Jewish sophomores at UCLA, to attend the conference. Their freshman year was punctuated by incidents of anti-Semitism that were both personal and met with national controversy. They were shocked during their first quarter in school, when students entered the Bruin Cafe to see the phrase “Hitler did nothing wrong” etched into a table. Months later, Mokhtarzadeh’s friend, Rachel Beyda, was temporarily denied a student government leadership position based solely on her Jewish identity, an event that made news nationwide. Throughout the year, they saw the school’s pro-Palestinian group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), issue criticism of Israel that overstepped into anti-Semitic rhetoric and hate. The campus was supposed to be their new home, their new safe space—so why didn’t they feel that way?”

Safran Foer’s New Novel Explores Divorce Between Liberal Jewish Americans and Israel

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

Many left-wing Jews choose leftism over ethnic loyalty.

Haaretz: ‘Here I Am’ shows how because of Israel’s growing ethno-nationalism, embarrassment has replaced guilt as his generation’s dominant feeling toward Israel.

“Here I Am” is Jonathan Safran Foer’s first novel after 11 years. Jacob Bloch, its anti-hero, after one well-received novel published when he was very young, is writing for television, and doesn’t like it. His marriage which, like most marriages, started with hope, intimacy and tenderness has gradually emptied of content after 15 years, and both Jacob and Julia, his wife and future divorcee, feel that they are losing their own selves in the family they have created.

The bulk of the book is composed of scenes from a Jewish family life, much of dialogue; some of it scintillating, much of it reminds of the self-consciously virtuoso writing we have come to know from Foer’s first two highly acclaimed novels that made him a household name of the American – and ever more so the Jewish American – literary scene. His standing is reflected in the dozens of reviews appearing days after the publication of Here I Am.

Israel and Jewish American liberals

About in the middle of novel, a second story line emerges: Israel and the Middle East are shaken and largely destroyed by a powerful earthquake. [Spoiler alert: If you don’t want to lose the tension of reading, skip the next two paragraphs!] The Arab countries around Israel see the opportunity of finally destroying the Jewish State. Israel’s prime minister declares “Operation Moses,” with the goal of moving a million American Jews to Israel to help in the war effort (I don’t know whether Foer was aware that there actually was an Operation Moses to bring Ethiopian Jews to Israel). Only 55,000 actually arrive, tellingly mostly over 45 years of age.

Younger Jewish Americans, it seems, can’t really see much meaning in moving to Israel and fighting for its survival, and those who come to help play no role in Israel’s surviving the ordeal. Israel’s central strategy is withdrawing from the West Bank and maintaining a blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Furthermore, Israel refuses any humanitarian aid to Palestinians, and the Israel-Palestine conflict is largely solved by Palestinians dying of a variety of illnesses.

“Infinite debate corkscrewed the question of whether those new borders were good for the Jews. Although, tellingly, the expression most often used by American Jews was good for the Israelis. And that, the Israelis thought, was bad for the Jews … [Many can’t forgive Israel] the complete and explicit abdication of responsibility for the non-Jews – the withdrawal of security forces … the blockade of aid shipments to Gaza and the West Bank.”

NYPD: Hillary Clinton Was Wearing “Invisible” Earpiece To Receive Stealth Coaching During Live NBC TV Town Hall

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

REPORT: Hillary Clinton was sporting a mini earbud wired to receive stealth communications from her campaign handlers during Wednesday’s Commander-in-Chief Forum carried live on NBC from New York City, True Pundit has learned.

While Clinton was fielding questions from NBC’s Matt Lauer and the public Wednesday night on live television, a quiet buzz started circulating in New York law enforcement circles about Hillary’s left ear. NYPD sources involved with the NBC forum’s security detail confirm Clinton was wearing an ‘inductive earpiece,” the same technology employed by almost all lead Broadway actors to receive forgotten lines and stealth off-stage cues from directors. The flesh-colored earbud is easily concealed. There are no wires running directly to the ear like you see with the units employed by Secret Service protection detail personnel.

The skin-tone piece Clinton was wearing, however, was somewhat different from the standard issued stealth earpiece and is much different in appearance from a hearing aid. This unit is considered a “micro” earbud which contains all the technology but is a fraction of the size with a very high price tag. In fact, most of the units this size, approximately 3mm or comparable to a small pearl stud earring, are normally issued to law enforcement or corporate security teams, sources said. At a size that small, the earbud is designed to sit inside the opening of the ear canal, almost invisible to anyone. However, the unit does move and shift along with its wearer and at times can slightly pop out of the canal and require a quick readjustment, experts said.

Ironically, the revelation that Clinton was wearing such a unit might have only been recognized because of astute NYPD officers attached to her security detail who are accustomed to seeing the stealth apparatus at stage shows, conventions and security personnel of VIPs and international dignitaries at the United nations and elsewhere in the five boroughs. Likewise, NYPD detectives employ a parallel technology to communicate during undercover Ops.

Based on experts familiar with the technology, the stealth earpiece operates on a bandwidth from 300 Hz to 4KHz. Many such units are powered by SONY. The range of the unit can be unlimited depending on how the back end is set up. Technically, you could receive cues from 100 feet away or from someone sitting in Washington D.C. while you sat in New York City, experts said. The set up and range is flexible based on need and use. The unit does not require Bluetooth to operate via short distances but long range operations would require Bluetooth, which is easily configured.

Politico’s Relentless Campaign Against Donald Trump

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

Sometimes you will find five, six, seven negative articles about Trump on the front page of Politico.com.

In this new article, it says: “Her campaign initially said she was “overheated” but later revealed that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia.”

You can only “reveal” something that is true. How does Politico know that what the Clinton campaign said was true? How does Politico know that it was pneumonia that turned her into a mess on Sunday?

Bloomberg Profiles Milo

LINK: He inputs all of his friends into a spreadsheet, with columns for attractiveness, intelligence, income, and politics (listed either “pass” or “fail”). One column lists whether he should hold, long, or short them, like stocks. Many of the people he surrounds himself with are paid staff. All, besides a female publicist and a gay assistant in New York, are straight men. “I don’t generally employ gays. I don’t trust them. They don’t show up on time. They don’t do the work. They get all queeny with drama,” he says. “I like straight white men. They do the work. I like black guys for my love life, straight white males as employees, and girls as drinking buddies.”

John Rivers: ‘Jews, like Whites, are old. Their fertility is low. They are being replaced by younger, more fertile ethnic groups in America.’

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

Chaim Amalek writes: This is an interesting problem in math and demographics that I would tackle if I had access to the right data. Yes, it is true that the world of old Jews, Hollywood Jews, Secular diversity-embracing Jews etc. population is falling – fast. HOWEVER, over in Brooklyn, the population of Hasidic and other ultraorthodox Jews is exploding. Already, the children of orthodox Jews make up a majority of all Jewish children in New York City (under 5? Under 18? I wish I had the figures). Assuming that they grow into breeders like their parents – and given how they are being socialized, heavily insulated from Western culture, this seems likely – then at some point soon the lines cross, and the majority of Jews in this country becomes orthodox with explosive population growth. In the long run then, it is not that Jews are disappearing from America, so much as secular jews are disappearing, to be replaced by much less well educated, and much poorer Torah Jews unable to staff the Federal Reserve or run Hollywood. White goyim on the other hand, have no subgroup with such explosive fecundity to save them from their self-imposed demographic ruin. Dumb goys!

The Orthodox Jewish Girl Who Became A Cop Because of 9/11

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

REPORT: When picturing an Orthodox Jewish woman, most people conjure up an image of a lady carrying a baby, not a gun. But for Ariella Loew, it seemed like there was no reason she couldn’t do both! Loew grew up in Lincolnwood, just outside of Chicago in an Orthodox family and though she had never seen a frum female cop before, there was a female role model who impacted her from a young age. “My mom was already doing something that most frum women don’t do – she was a radio newscaster. When she walked in for her interview she told them she couldn’t work on Shabbos, and they said ‘okay its not a problem.’ Then she said ‘I also need all these other days off’ and she made a career as a news reporter for over forty years. She showed me that Orthodox people can do things that other people think they can’t.”
Loew is not exactly sure where the inspiration to become a police officer came from.”When I was twelve years old I decided I wanted to be a cop. When I was little I always wanted to be a builder, but I just liked playing with Legos…and then one day I realized I needed math to be a builder…and I’m terrible at math, so I decided I’d be a cop instead.” Loew notes that September 11th occurred when she was twelve and it is very conceivable that witnessing the heroic efforts of the police on that day impacted her decision.
Though a BA is not necessary to become a police officer, Loew went to college where she studied Criminal Justice so she’d have a back up plan. Every summer during college, she did an internship. Her first one was with her hometown police department. “That summer sealed the deal for me. I loved every moment that I was working with them. I liked the adrenaline rush. I liked the different calls we went on.” Even though she wasn’t always allowed out of the car by the officer training her, she still remembers how much these early runs impacted her. “I had been driving around on a midnight shift, a ride along…some car had his headlight out going the opposite direction. The officer I was with busted a U-Turn, and went after him. We went to pull the car over, and the car…took off down the road…The officer knew that there was a cul-de-sac about two blocks down, so the car would have nowhere to go. He went after it, and …we found out that it was a stolen car. So then just as we caught him at the cul-de-sac, three guys popped out of the car and went running. I wanted to get out of the car, unfortunately (probably also fortunately) I couldn’t.”

First Hasidic Woman Elected As Brooklyn Civil Court Judge

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A mother of six has become the first Hasidic woman to become a civil court judge in Brooklyn.

CBS2’s Magdalena Doris reports Rachel Freier broke barriers after grabbing nearly 41 percent of votes in the 5th District election, beating two other competitors in the Borough Park election.

“First Hasidic woman to win public office and to sit on the Civil Court Bench,” Freier said.

Freier has a long resume: she’s a lawyer, a volunteer, a mom, a grandmother and an EMT.

“They have a misconception that women in our community are operated and they don’t have the ability to be successful and that’s really wrong,” she said.

With a cellphone around her neck at all times, she’s still on call for Ezras Nashim, the EMT company she helped found two years ago, specifically for Hasidic women.

“We’re not here to compete with anyone else. We’re not here to say something should be changed. We’re women helping women and that’s how it happened,” Freier said.

Freier also volunteers for a program for at risk youth.

“There’s 24 hours in a day, so we can cram in a lot,” she said.

Freier said she gets an average of five hours of sleep a night and credits her religion for carrying her through, breaking to pray three times a day.

Improv Classes As A Tool To Overcome Under-Earning

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

I was listening to a 12-Step lecture this week about how to succeed in improv you need to be agreeable, to listen deeply, and to be willing to visible. Those are excellent tools for succeeding at almost any work.

When I moved to LA in 1994 after six years of chronic illness, I began taking acting and improv classes. I rationally understood that the odds were small of me making a living as an actor but I thought that immersing myself in the acting world would be good for me. I was right. I didn’t succeed in Hollywood for many reasons, not least of them my inability to get along with other people. I was kicked out of three acting schools for being obnoxious. At the last one, in the summer of 1995, the leader took me aside and said I was probably more suited to solitary pursuits such as stand-up comedy. I concluded he was right and decided to write a book.

Donald Trump – Sex Pistol

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Luke Ford

GotNews: “The alt-right is being demonized massively by a mainstream that doesn’t want it to exist. And that’s exactly the point — so the more that they do it, the more it just helps the cause. The alt-right 2016 is like punk rock 1977: it’s daring, new, socially unacceptable, inevitable, and scaring the crap out of everyone. That a huge chunk of those mainstreamers are utterly stereotypical tatted-up “punks” just ups the irony ante, and increases the troll factor.”

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Trump has been on message consistently for about the last month. He’s using a teleprompter, avoiding gaffes, and letting Hillary marinate in her own mistakes.

* Kellyanne somehow whispering the right words into the Donald’s ears that soothe the savage beast, while Steve K Bannon has been orchestrating covert ops. Credit must go to this duo. Plus assuming that Stephen Miller is doing most of the speech writing.

* The transformation of Trump since he hired Conway and Bannon is nothing short of amazing. The gaffes stopped literally overnight, and were followed by one substantive, policy-laden speech after another. His rise in the polls is definitely due to this transformation, and these two deserve the credit for it (along with Trump himself). Hiring them and firing Manafort was the right move. Manafort was clearly not up to the job. I just wished he had done it sooner.

* Donald Trump finally sounds like a real presidential candidate and less like PUA guys Mystery and Roosh V.

Ever since The Donald hired Kellyanne Conway he no longer goes around publicly degrading women in the media for their physical appearance like he did with Ted Cruz’s wife, Carly Fiorina, and Megyn Kelly.

If he loses the election he can go back to publicly saying Woman A and Woman X are ugly, fat, and have blood coming out of their eyes, blood coming out of their you know what vaginas. He can go back to the old Donald.

* “FOX got the highest ratings ever after the debate so Ailes makes friends again with Trump and sends Megyn Kelly off to get over her period. Hey, noting [sic] personal, just business.” –Colin Powell e-mail to Jeffrey Leeds (8/18/15)

* I think it’s a sign that the MSM—after Hillary’s direction to them in her “Alt-Right” speech—is starting to heavily monitor and study the Alt-Right. I wonder what the numbers for this website and Taki’s were before and after her speech.

I’ll bet the numbers have spiked twice: the first time after her speech, and the second time after Sunday, when the Alt-Right was proven correct that she was sick, and the corporate media whores were covering up and/or ignoring the obvious.

P.S. Remember how Hillary was two hours late to her announced. Alt-Right speech and no one said anything about it? Yeah, I’m taking that as more evidence of her sickness. Her Parkinson’s flared up and she was delayed two hours.

Hey, it’s not like the MSM did any real investigation or reporting on why Hillary was unexplainably late…and then a few weeks later she’s passing out in the middle of the street in Manhattan.

* Not many Crooked Hildabeast supporters are fans of punk rock bands like The Clash for example. And that’s because the vast majority of Nonwhites are not into that type of music and most of her White supporters are Millennials. White Millennials on average are more likely to be into Hip Hop music, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, etc than The Clash. The Clash is something their old Donald Trump supporting White parents listen to.

Donald Trump supporters are fans of The Clash. I could also see a lot of Gary Johnson supporters being into The Clash because his supporters also tend to be older Whites.

Whenever I as a White Millennial wear my Clash t-shirt, only older Whites on the streets compliment my shirt. I hate most of the music from my generation. Although once in awhile a song from this decade will grab my attention like Follow Me Into The Jungle.
