They've been baldfacedly uttering that gigantic lie about their democracy for decades and decades. Bouncing it off the dumb accepting heads of their own people for the whole world to see.
Yup. They are strong enough now that they no longer need to pretend to hide their deeds, but simply say "And what are you going to do about it?" whilst slapping a billyclub into their palm.
"The rise of the West was not made possible "by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion…but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence".
That's just propaganda for stupid Americans. The world knew that Venezuela is in poverty because of US sanctions since 2005. The lie about drugs and democracy was just rhetoric to hide the piracy of Oil, Silver,Gold . Same with Cuba since 1954.
I grew up poor, not abjectly but lower class poor. After my classes ended in middle school, my dad would come in as the janitor and clean up. I grew up in a town with no rich people; the few affluent were a few doctors and attorneys. The oil wealth that came out of my town of Taft, california (now dried up and replaced with a large private pirson) enriched no one who lived in Taft, a dry, tough town with 2 inches of rain a year and gullies that ran not creeks but black thick oil. A favorite passtime was walking the oil pipes over the gullies in a terrain that was crisscrossed with pipes and stacked with tall wooden oil derricks (today there is only one in the museum), All my relatives worked in the oil fields and many had missing fingers from handling the pipes: they were called roughnecks.
I was on a journey to relative middle class influence when I dropped out of Harvard, the son of two parents with an 8th grade education and dropped to the bottom of the economic ladder, depending on welfare to survive, using my inability to function economically in a capitalist world of cubicles and hierarchy, born unable to tolerate any attempt to treat me an inferior or subordinate. Demanding freedom exacts a price, a cruel punishment, but I survived. Now at 85, with an income just above poverty, I feel rich and have traveled abroad 10 times in the last 7 yrs, on free award miles on credit cards. I live rich by shopping only in thrift stores for clothes, furniture, art, hardware, and living a lean vegan lifestyle based on whole foods.
I mention this not for sympathy, I desire none, but as a platform for what I am about to say.
I have met very few rich people in my life, based on the fact that the rich do no contaminate themselves with those who are not rich, except in the case of those who serve them.
Here is what I want to say about the rich, the powerful, those who run the world.
I hate them (I can make exceptions) but in my few encounters with the rich, they have been, without exception, arrogant and assuming they were superior. I would call this a sense of entitlement, as tho they were modern day princes and barons. I hated the way it felt. And so I hate the rich, not just as a Marxoid rebel, but as a human being who rejects their claim to superiority and the right to command others. Let me repeat: I hate the rich and powerful as a class. I have never met one who treated me with kindness, dignity, or respect. I have felt, in my few encounters, spat on. And so I hate not all individuals who are rich (there are exceptions) but the genraal class of the rich, the ones who run the show and feel entitled to treat the rest of us as peasants in a feudal world.
I now see the world in simpler terms: haves and have nots, with the haves looking down on us have nots and finding ways, laws, wars, gated communities, etc to expand their status and keep us down. I see Marx's class struggle as indeed the dialectic of history, with a constant battle, often masked, of the haves against the have nots and then, suddenly, the have nots rising, often violently in absence of any other weapon, to take down the haves.
Haves and have nots: that is my view at 85. A world of spoiled assholes who have and the rest of without. And so I urge all of you to join together and end this bloody and humiliating farce and create a world where there are none rich and so none poor, a world where there are no master and slaves. My only experience of such a world is thru the writing of Orwell, who in Barcelona described the brief era when the anarchists were in charge and tore down the norms o the class hierarchy.
Here is what he wrote, words that inspire to belive that what I see as revenge and redemption is possible, if at threat. Here is what he wrote in Homage to Catalonia, which I visited twice in my recent travels to feel the vibrations of that anarchistic refusal to obey the master of the world that still exists in a city that , almost unique among cities, is designed for people and not the rich, not cars, not commerce, but for living and sharing beauty open to all, streets without cars, plazas around every corner, medians wider than the streets full of playgrounds, sculpture, musicians, outdoor cafes, public spaces paved, by law, with tiles and paver so that even the ground we walk on, what is normally a spit infested and grotesequely ugly sidewalk, is infused with beauty and a refuation of the very idea that lower is less worthy.
So here's Orwell, with a breath of what Marx was hinting at, what the future might be if we understand it is not a utopia but a spirit of dignity and love for each other, equal and without hierarchy or entitlement, a world not of entitlement and privilege but of universal rights.
" The Anarchists were still in virtual control of Catalonia and the revolution was still in full swing. To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming. It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle. Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags or with the red and black flag of the Anarchists; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties; almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workmen. Every shop and cafe had an inscription saying that it had been collectivized; even the bootblacks had been collectivized and their boxes painted red and black. Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the face and treated you as an equal. Servile and even ceremonial forms of speech had temporarily disappeared. Nobody said 'Señior' or 'Don' or even 'Usted'; everyone called everyone else 'Comrade' and 'Thou', and said 'Salud!' instead of 'Buenos días'. Tipping was forbidden by law; almost my first experience was receiving a lecture from a hotel manager for trying to tip a lift-boy. There were no private motor-cars, they had all been commandeered, and all the trams and taxis and much of the other transport were painted red and black. The revolutionary posters were everywhere, flaming from the walls in clean reds and blues that made the few remaining advertisements look like daubs of mud. Down the Ramblas, the wide central artery of the town where crowds of people streamed constantly to and fro, the loudspeakers were bellowing revolutionary songs all day and far into the night. And it was the aspect of the crowds that was the queerest thing of all. In outward appearance it was a town in which the wealthy classes had practically ceased to exist. Except for a small number of women and foreigners there were no 'well-dressed' people at all. Practically everyone wore rough working-class clothes, or blue overalls, or some variant of the militia uniform. All this was queer and moving. There was much in it that I did not understand, in some ways I did not even like it, but I recognized it immediately as a state of affairs worth fighting for. Also I believed that things were as they appeared, that this was really a workers' State and that the entire bourgeoisie had either fled, been killed, or voluntarily come over to the workers' side; I did not realize that great numbers of well-to-do bourgeois were simply lying low and disguising themselves as proletarians for the time being."
Unfortunately the communism that they( the elite) are espousing is nothing like what you are describing! Their version is serfdom for the masses and the wealthy doing anything they please and owning everything for themselves! They have brainwashed the masses to believe that anarchy is violent which it is not! I believe you would enjoy the book TO SEE THE CAGE IS TO LEAVE IT!
the communism that they( the elite) are espousing" you wrote without mentioning who "they" are. The closest to Marx's vision is Mondragon, 100% democratic, worker owned and run. If you are talking about China, they are using a hybrid economy to develop China, and tho, as with all nations, there are human rights issues, Chinese today are far richer than ever, more free, and robustly satisfied with the government and thus giving the foundation of just rule: the consent of the governed
If you mean the Western elite, the capitalists, they are not espousing communism, which is the abolitoin of private ownership of the means of production but rather privatizing public assets and putting them into private hands. It's impossible to know what you are talking about.....
Dale Ruff, thanks for your story and your revelation that you hate "the rich, the powerful, those who run the world." I understand this hate to be in a collective sense, and that you make exceptions for certain individuals. Such a position is easy to understand, and I'm sure you're not alone in this attitude, as is the case with me. We may differ, however, on how we define "hate."
In the same way, I hate Judaism. Let me explain. I hate Judaism as a collectivity, and as with you, not on an individual basis. My justification is the fact that Judaism is extremely well organized in a political way and that it uses that organization to bribe our government, brainwash our people, destroy our democracy, commit Apartheid, land theft, genocide, and ethnic cleansing on Palestinians, and commit mass murder in countries surrounding Israel. Zionism/Israel is a product of Judaism.
To me, Judaism as a murderous cult with genocidal leaders and with an overwhelming percent of followers that believe they are superior to other human beings. Here are two facts to explain my hate. First, the single, universal belief within Judaism is that Zionism/Israel is necessary for the survival of Judaism for all time, and second, the overwhelming number of Jewish political leaders drive the above actions I collectively attribute to Judaism. Proof of the latter is the data given in the following link: https://iwasathought.substack.com/p/the-jewish-lobby
The first fact, above, justifies the description of Judaism as a cult. As a collective, countless times referred to as the "Jewish community," or "Jewish Peoplehood," by Jewish leaders, is not a religion in the traditional sense. As a collective, Judaism has rejected its traditional God. The above universal belief among virtually all its members is a secular religious belief. Thus, Judaism today is a secular religion, also known as a cult. Other examples of cults were the Jim Jones cult and the Heaven's Gate cult, which had their own secular religious beliefs. The second fact, above, means that the overwhelming number of followers support their leaders in these horrible endeavors. If that weren't true, we wouldn't be seeing what we see. Thus, the overwhelming majority of Jews practice and support the ethos expressed by their political leaders, regardless of whether or not they admit that they support the consequences and true horrors behind the endeavors I list above.
I thus exercise my right to hate a definable group of people, as many other people would admit hate towards Republicans, Democrats, Russians, Chinese, Muslims, Christians, AIPAC, the ADL, the Mafia, Nazis, and so on. We all have a human right to hate any group we choose. Perhaps most people here would acknowledge that Israel is now the most hated nation on the planet. That's not much different from saying the most hated people on the planet are Israeli Jews. Jewish leaders know it, and that's why they try to brainwash us about the dangers of antisemitism. Throughout history, and especially when we were in small groups in our biological environment, when our leaders failed us, hate was often a way to fix our problems. The means are often expressed by shunning, shaming, ostracizing, and boycotting. These can be helpful outcomes of hate towards people who behave despicably.
Judaism is most certainly a well-defined group of people with clear and obvious political objectives that are collectively supported by the overwhelming vast majority of followers. Political Zionism and Israel are products of Judaism. The "Zios" that many people hate are Zionist Jews, and from funding and membership numbers, it's a myth that so-called Christian Zionists play much of a political role in all this (see the data in the above link). And of course, Jews who demonstrate to me that, by word or deed, refuse the collective outcome of Judaism that I describe here, are exempt from my hate. I personally have many exceptions to the collective kind of hate I describe here.
For instance, how many dissidents hate Catholicism, or Calvinism, or the USA, or White Society, etc., for the horrible experiences they had as members of these groups? The hate I explain here is no different, and perhaps many people who have rejected their Judaism also hate Judaism for what it did to them during their childhood indoctrination.
I don't expect to get much agreement here, but it would be nice to get sound, rational comments, whether or not in agreement. My view is that, until the American public - both Jew and non-Jew - addresses these issues, our nation's exit down through the drain to the moral cesspool is assured.
First, you confuse Judaism, which has many branches and a long tradition of tolerance, co-existence, and treatment of outsiders......with Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions.
I oppose all religions but not the values they often proclaim and betray.
Second, I define hatred as an emotion provided by evolution as a tool of survival, which is so uncomfortable it all but forces us to either flee or eliminate the cause, something so unfair or brutal that it evokes this ancient instinct. It too is often manipulated by cunning leaders to act as a fuel for atrocities, but its essential nature is a feeling that compels us to act.
There are today 39% of American Jews, who according to a recent poll, find Israel guilty of genocide. Many are self-identified as religious Jews...and so I stand with them in this opposition, despite my general rejection of religion as, in the main, a negative force in history.
Third, this comment ignores the vast diversity of political positions from left to right taken by those who claim Judaism:
"Judaism is most certainly a well-defined group of people with clear and obvious political objectives...." Such certainty reminds me of what Eric HOffer wrote: 'We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand.' —
Zionism vs Judaism (often conflated)
Zionism = political movement supporting a Jewish nation-state.
Judaism = religion/peoplehood thousands of years older.
Positions among Jews include:
Strong Zionist
Critical Zionist
Post-Zionist
Anti-Zionist (e.g., some ultra-Orthodox groups)
Non-political
So even on Israel — the most politically charged issue — Jews are not unified." chatgpt with primary sources."
I would welcome your perspective once you corrected the bold and false claims which distort it.
Dale Ruff, you said, "Here is what I want to say about the rich, the powerful, those who run the world. I hate them (I can make exceptions) but in my few encounters with the rich, they have been, without exception, arrogant and assuming they were superior."
You also comment on what I say: "First, you confuse Judaism, which has many branches and a long tradition of tolerance, co-existence, and treatment of outsiders......with Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions." And also, "Third, this comment ignores the vast diversity of political positions from left to right taken by those who claim Judaism."
Dale, you thus contradict yourself by accusing me of doing the same thing you do with the group of people you hate. Of course there are people within any group who dissent. It's childish to make this the main thrust of your argument. The critical fact is to observe the collective output of the group, which is what you do with the rich, but fail to do with Judaism. You also suggest deceit when you say "Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions." Yes, in its "right wing iteration," but you ignore other iterations, granting yourself a privilege you don't allow me.
I don't think you've analyzed your own position well enough, and I suggest you learn more about the many different political positions that many Zionists argue. Also, study more the statististics about both diaspora Jews and Israeli Jews, understanding that about half of all Jews are Israeli Jews.
Again, I'm not condemning you for your hate, I'm only pointing out that we have a right to hate anything we want, but you also have a sanctimonious attitude seems to believe only you have the right to hate a group you've decided to hate, yet I don't have the same right. It's also true that your beliefs about Judaism can never change my beliefs about Judaism and my beliefs about Judaism can never change your beliefs about Judaism, so why waste our time on it?
The only real issue is who has erroneous beliefs, and the only way to establish that is to analyze the facts, using sound reasoning. I've presented to you mine, but you don't do the same, other than the statistic about 39% of American Jews acknowledging the genocide, which is not really relevant here.
You said, "Many are self-identified as religious Jews...and so I stand with them in this opposition, despite my general rejection of religion as, in the main, a negative force in history."
Here are more facts, quotes from the Talmud that these religious Jews regard as one of their most sacred books:
QUOTES FROM THE JEWISH TALMUD:
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death." to
4. Libbre David 37: "To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly."
5. Libbre David 37: "If a Jew be called upon to explain any part of the rabbinic books, he ought to give only a false explanation. Whoever will violate this order shall be put to death."
6. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
7. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
8. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
9. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
10. Choschen Harmm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
11. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
12. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dla 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."
13. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."
14. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes, every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
15. Nidrasch Talploth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
16. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."
17. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
18. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
19. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
Too much to take out so I will just deal with $20, which is fake. "Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
"That quote is not authentic as written and reflects a distorted / polemical mistranslation of Jewish legal texts.....What siman (section) 348 actually discusses
Siman 348 addresses:
Laws of theft
Returning stolen property
Restitution
Prohibitions against stealing from others
including non-Jews.
Classical halakhic law prohibits theft broadly
In fact, some rulings emphasize that stealing from non-Jews creates chilul Hashem (desecration of God’s name), considered especially severe.
Where the fake quote comes from
The line you cited appears in:
19th–20th century antisemitic pamphlets
Nazi propaganda tracts
Missionary polemics
Forged “Talmud exposes” literature
Common sources:
The Talmud Unmasked (Justinas Pranaitis, 1892 — widely discredited)
Nazi-era “translations”
Internet copy-paste quote lists" chatgpt with primary sources
Shame, shame, shame on you for promoting Nazi propaganda. Caitlin should ban you.
Dale, thanks for pointing out the fake quote from the Talmud, which I regrettably posted. After reading your comment, I did a little research, concluded that it was fake, and so deleted it, above. And for the record, I post the fake quote along with what I believe is the correct quote, below.
Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348:
Fake: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
Accurate: "It is forbidden to steal anything, even the smallest amount, from anyone—Jew or non-Jew. Stealing is prohibited even as a joke, even with the intention to return it, and even if one plans to compensate the victim."
Because of this, I'm wondering how many of the other quotes are fake. Can you help with that? Are there others that you're aware of, or can you please give me a searchable link that addresses all of them? I will probably research all of them myself, and maybe you know of places that will make it easier for me.
YEP , we do , n send our kids to school to learn how to vote for that , religious private public university any old school , just as long as we vote n werk n pay taxes n shut up .
Goodonya Caitlin, keep going , got to prise them eyes open.
Isaac Herzog was a visitor to Epstein’s island in 2014. This corrupt Zionist should not be allowed anywhere near Australia. His support and complicity in the Gazan Palestinian genocide is only the latest in a long list of corruption, propaganda and lies.
The extent to which the Epstein operation was Zionist has, for some reason, been suppressed. It was always ‘us’ vs ‘the goys’. The superior human beings manipulating and using the subhuman animals. As Israel shows in Palestine and Epstein’s gang showed wherever it wanted, it is so much easier to rape and devastate children when your religion teaches they are worth less than the dirt on your shoe.
I doubt that Judaism teaches that. Morelike. in the fat tomes of the religion you can find passages that justify such a view, and others that contradict it. Same with the Christian Bible and no doubt the Koran and the Bagavad Gita. So substreams of religions with millions of adherents that last for centuries develop that cling to and build on that ideology. The "religion that teaches that they are worth less than the dirt on your shoe" justified the Nazis--mostly Christian--in their vicious treatment of Jews. And Roma and gays and communists...so don't oversimplify, the problem is not rooted in Judaism. As Dale Ruff's post above illuminates, there is a ruling class--and always has been through history [WRITTEN history starting a few thousand years ago, not human history]--that sees its "inferiors" in that light, and justifies it with whatever religion is extant at the time and place.
Thank you for this. Zionists have twisted Judaism to their own selfish ends. There are plenty of Jews around the world who share benevolent social values with Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and all the other spiritual traditions.
Great article. Sometimes the insanity just writes itself. It's horrifying that this is all done and we're told it's for our protection, not just for the freaks in power to make more money.
Since the latest 'Epstein File' dump, Prof. Marandi was on George Galloway, and he (Marandi) said something that WE ALL need to make common, in our everyday communications.......
Prof. Marandi used the term, the 'EPSTEIN-CLASS' when referring to our 'rulers'.
It seems as though 'EVERYONE' was named in the latest file dump.
We need to now use this term when referring to our 'rulers'/'political-class'/'the elite'.
EXAMPLES:
Epstein-class Politicians
Epstein-class Presidents
Epstein-class Congress
Epstein-class Government
Epstein-class Intel Agencies
Epstein-class Police/Law Enforcement
Epstein-class Courts/Legal System
Epstein-class Pharma
Epstein-class 'Big Ag'
Epstein-class Education/Educators
Epstein-class Science/Scientists
Epstein-class Health Care/Medical
Epstein-class BIO-WEAPONS/(FAKE) PLANNEDemics
Epstein-class 'Religion'
Epstein-class Royalty
Epstein-class Banksters
Epstein-class Corporations/Businesses
Epstein-class Hollywood/Movies/Media
Epstein-class News Media/Press/Journalists
Epstein-class Social Media
and so on......!!
'THE SYSTEM' is EPSTEIN-CLASS!
THIS is how we NOW need to refer to these individuals, in 'positions of power'!
Because we ALL KNOW just 'HOW' they got into those 'positions of power', don't we?!
Those (so-called 'teachers', SKOOL Board members, and so on) who want to KEEP PUSHING
the 'TRANNY'/'LBGQXYZ' books, 'teaching', ect......ON CHILDREN......NOW NEED TO BE CALLED........
Wow. You start out making a good point (someone else's actually) about an effective framing of the ruling class, and then turn round and want to apply it most of the population perhaps, and particularly anyone you disagree with--like gays having rights??
That's the problem LGBTQ do not have the same rights other than many no longer have to hide in the closet. The Sec. of Energy states people who are LGBTQ can not show their pride. I can not support my Niece. Friends who are not white do not have the same rights. We pretend they do.
The right to marry, unquestioned, the right to take a job they're qualified for, rent an apartment, hang out in a nightclub, whatever--they currently have the LEGAL right to do these things, and they're much less likely to be harassed or denied than even 25 years ago, but the right wing is working hard to reverse all that.
In Western Countries.......pretty much all countries, gays being employed, getting an apartment, going to night clubs, and 'whatever', is NOT AN ISSUE!!
And BELIEVING otherwise, is a MASSIVE DELUSION!!
As far as marriage goes......we need to unpack a few things, on this subject.
First, and foremost......'governments' have NO BUSINESS in the 'marriage business'. Yet, the ZOMBIES just ACCEPT that a govt has the RIGHT to stick their nose into peoples marriages.
For thousands and thousands and thousands of years, the marriage between and man and a woman was a 'religious'/'spiritual' thing.
Marriage is far, FAR OLDER than the concept of 'government'!
Marriages, Births & Deaths.....a 'govt' has NO BUSINESS being involved in!
PERIOD!
Two people getting married?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
The birth of babies?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
(NON Murder) Death in the family?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
So, now we have the MENTAL ILLNESS of 'gays' DEMANDING that A 'GOVERNMENT' 'allow' them to marry. And when this Right is GRANTED, these individuals CHEER.....as if it were a GOOD thing!
First, lets get things CRYSTAL CLEAR......a 'govt' does NOT GIVE HUMANS, RIGHTS!
If a 'govt' can GIVE YOU RIGHTS......that means that they can also TAKE THOSE RIGHTS AWAY!
It is GOD (The Creator) that GIVES WE HUMANS OUR RIGHTS.......which means that NO ONE.....no individual, nor a 'govt', can TAKE THEM AWAY!!.....ONLY GOD CAN!
Which brings me to HETEROSEXUAL couples & Marriage......
THEY need to DEMAND that 'government' GET OUT OF THEIR MARRIAGES!
Again, a 'govt' has NO BUSINESS sticking their nose into someones Marriage!
Here's a question for the 'BRAIN-DEAD-ZOMBIE SLAVES'.......
WHY do 'YOU' need to ASK PERMISSION of a 'GOVT' to GET MARRIED??
ANSWER: a HUMAN does NOT!
But yet......the SLAVES run to a 'govt' to ASK PERMISSION to GET MARRIED.
This is what a 'MARRIAGE LICENSE' IS!
WHY are 'YOU' asking the PERMISSION of a 'govt' TO GET MARRIED???
When one ASKS PERMISSION (a Marriage Lic) of a 'Govt' to get married......that marriage now consists of THREE Entities......the man, woman AND THE GOVERNMENT!
This is also why one NEEDS PERMISSION (from a 'govt') to DIVORCE......because it's a THREE-WAY DIVORCE.
You're not ONLY divorcing each other.....the two of you are also DIVORCING THE GOVERNMENT!
Here in the u.s. the right to marry who you want is being challenged in the courts as I write. My Niece and her partner hurried to get married while it is still possible. The process was delayed and delayed.
You can dream that we live in the perfect world of equality.
Unless I misunderstood your comment, you seemed to be saying that everyone in your long list, including plenty of middle-class people, and everyone pushing gay rights, should be labeled "Epstein class." That's most of the population. I agree, everyone should have equal rights.
I don't think he understands. They do not have the same rights. We pretend they do. The NotsoSupreme Court is talking about taking marriage away. My Niece got married to the love of her life for that very reason. We pretend just as we pretend Black and Brown people have the same rights. He should speak to a few people outside the bubble.
I still do not comprehend what this 'gay rights' thing is???
Especially when I'd just said that EVERYONE HAS THE SAME RIGHTS!
Are you trying to say that 'gays' should have MORE RIGHTS than everyone else??
So-called 'gay rights' is NOT A THING!
My list targets those in POSITIONS OF POWER, not 'every-day people' walking the streets.....unless, of course, they ARE PEDOS!
Those who are in POSITIONS OF POWER.......99% of the time, ABUSE THAT POWER! And they will DO ANYTHING to hold on to that POWER (OVER OTHERS).
THIS is now called.....The Epstein-class!
To climb that 'POWER LADDER'......they will DO ANYTHING!
And there are plenty of 'Middle-class people' (IN POSITIONS OF POWER), that ARE the Epstein-class.
Lets take 'Police Depts', as an example.
Ask yourself this question.......WHY is it, with all of this CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING going on, are there not A LOT MORE PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED FOR DOING IT??
ANSWER: Because MOST Police Depts are HIGHLY CORRUPT (most are trained by the IDF, by the way......Iz-ra-HELL, a MASSIVE/MAJOR Child Trafficking Hub!). Within these 'Cop Shops', the 'Top Cops' BELONG to Child Sex Trafficking Rings! So there's your 'Middle-class' Epstein-class!
You seem to not comprehend just how badly the USSA/The West has been usurped by EVIL. (aka the Epstein-class)
And it's been going on LONG before Epstein was even born!!
But, using that Satanic, EVIL piece of shit, as 'THE POSTER BOY' for the EVIL that is going on, today, just seems appropriate, to me.
This individual (Epstein) is SO VILE......it's appropriate!
Looks like I did misunderstand you. But I think you exaggerate. I also think the example you chose, police, is probably the one where the most non-Epstein class people hold those values--authoritarianism, domination, selfishness excused as a virtue. This is because people with authoritarian personalities are drawn to those jobs, and those hiring do not screen for that trait, as they should--and some probably do screen FOR it. But scientists are people who are fascinated with some element of reality and want to spend lots of time studying it--this is generally beneficial for society. Teachers are either those with a passion for educating--absolutely a good thing--or those who chose teaching as a default, for a way to make a living, which is not good but doesn't make them Epstein class. And I don't think pedophiles are everywhere.
Outstanding article, as always, Caitlyn. I clicked through, by the way, to your prior article on how Trump was bought by the richest Israeli in the world -- Miriam Adelson (and her husband, Sheldon Adelson, while he was alive).
.
Trump sells out cheap, doesn't he? Granted, the Adelsons jointly paid Trump over $500 million in graft, but, for goodness sakes, what's one more half a billion to a billionaire? And what does half a billion buy these days, anyway? Maybe a cup of coffee, and....
.
... let's see... oh yes, it also buys... the Golan Hights, and... moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and... doubling down on the most evil and vicious genocide of the 21st Century… and... killing off and ethnically cleansing over two million indigenous inhabitants of Palestine.... and, need we go on?
.
As you say, Caitlyn, the evils that our rulers get up to in private pales compares to what they get up in public. Funny, really, isn't it? I mean, with most normal people, it's usually the other way around.
Are you sure the money really comes from the Adelsons? It may just as well be dollars originating from US aid to Israel, and sent back via the Adelsons... Who knows? This may be true not only in the case of Trump, but in the case of all American politicians bought by AIPAC.
You know, I would not be in the least surprised to find out that was the case.
.
I mean that is essentially what is going on, anyway, is it not. And not only with the Adelsons and Trump. The powerful and the wealthy bribe our politicians to funnel taxpayer money back to them in the form of subsidies, and gifts and tax exemptions, and what-have-you. It's just one big money-go-round, isn't it?
What you are not seeing is our government being complict and supporting these evil individuals and proxy governments. By proxy I mean lobbyists, sponsors, financial backers. With those that we see as nothing more than puppets on a string. And the average Joe hooked on technology unable to know the difference between real and fake information. The time for a revolution is comming when the public takes back control.
That time has been calling us for years, but instead in Murrika they voted for drumpf - again, knowing that he was out for vengeance on anyone who could see what he was, though he's so much more worse than anyone saw.
It must now be obvious to anyone interested that the Zionist billionaires all acting on behalf of the apartheid ethnocentric state of Israel completely control Western Governments. The countries most susceptible were all conquered by settler colonial imperialists. The Zionists are simply the latest group of settler colonialists. The Palestinians are the first peoples to be live-streamed slaughtered while the world watches and says nothing. Not one of these Zionist billionaires are self-made. Their fortunes have been stolen from the Commons. This power and greed can only be psychopathic. When the less than 1% have stolen all of the wealth and power then what ? If the live streamed genocide of Palestine continues and the sociopathic war criminal, Netanyahu, takes further control of the US Congress, it that is at all possible, then what? Our only hope is that more people will read Caitlin’s fine work and rise up against these immoral politicians and their donors.
Every decade has been equally disastrous by these so called leaders that unfortunately we elect over and over again. Or may be I am just more aware of it now! It's hard to breathe in this world
No-one seems to have noticed, but the new standard seems to be ‘no lives matter’. Governments, for example, would rather sacrifice, or at the very least arrest, their own people than try to stop a genocide, and the racist scumbags in charge of the genocide are happy to put their own vile religitard population at risk by making it the most deservedly despised on earth. Ask yourself, next time you hear of an atrocity, ‘would this have happened if governments cared about people?’, and the answer will be ‘of course not’. No lives matter. We are all Palestinians. If humans are mere expendable inconveniences, why bother with human rights? It is the greatest and scariest abandonment of an essential principle, and no-one’s talking about it. Your government doesn’t like you, or value you, or have the least intention of serving you. Your life doesn’t matter. Under the current gang of shameless western thugs, everything civilization pretended to stand for is pissed into the wind.
They've been baldfacedly uttering that gigantic lie about their democracy for decades and decades. Bouncing it off the dumb accepting heads of their own people for the whole world to see.
Hear ya, this why HELL is in the repetitions...Wishing you a good day !!!!!
And the repetitions are endless. They have no sense of what the word means. And no shame.
And a good day to you too, and to us all.
It's almost beyond belief that we've normalized this stuff. It's all abhorrent, all of it.
Yes, we know most all of the government knew this was going on for many decades now. Thanks Obummer, you are living up to your nickname. : (
Landru is dead…
Yup. They are strong enough now that they no longer need to pretend to hide their deeds, but simply say "And what are you going to do about it?" whilst slapping a billyclub into their palm.
The Irony is, they still lecture the other countries about "democracy"..
Because they can.

No shit. This is also why the West's victims keep losing.
That's just propaganda for stupid Americans. The world knew that Venezuela is in poverty because of US sanctions since 2005. The lie about drugs and democracy was just rhetoric to hide the piracy of Oil, Silver,Gold . Same with Cuba since 1954.
Bang on once again Caitlyn. It’s astounding but not surprising.
I grew up poor, not abjectly but lower class poor. After my classes ended in middle school, my dad would come in as the janitor and clean up. I grew up in a town with no rich people; the few affluent were a few doctors and attorneys. The oil wealth that came out of my town of Taft, california (now dried up and replaced with a large private pirson) enriched no one who lived in Taft, a dry, tough town with 2 inches of rain a year and gullies that ran not creeks but black thick oil. A favorite passtime was walking the oil pipes over the gullies in a terrain that was crisscrossed with pipes and stacked with tall wooden oil derricks (today there is only one in the museum), All my relatives worked in the oil fields and many had missing fingers from handling the pipes: they were called roughnecks.
I was on a journey to relative middle class influence when I dropped out of Harvard, the son of two parents with an 8th grade education and dropped to the bottom of the economic ladder, depending on welfare to survive, using my inability to function economically in a capitalist world of cubicles and hierarchy, born unable to tolerate any attempt to treat me an inferior or subordinate. Demanding freedom exacts a price, a cruel punishment, but I survived. Now at 85, with an income just above poverty, I feel rich and have traveled abroad 10 times in the last 7 yrs, on free award miles on credit cards. I live rich by shopping only in thrift stores for clothes, furniture, art, hardware, and living a lean vegan lifestyle based on whole foods.
I mention this not for sympathy, I desire none, but as a platform for what I am about to say.
I have met very few rich people in my life, based on the fact that the rich do no contaminate themselves with those who are not rich, except in the case of those who serve them.
Here is what I want to say about the rich, the powerful, those who run the world.
I hate them (I can make exceptions) but in my few encounters with the rich, they have been, without exception, arrogant and assuming they were superior. I would call this a sense of entitlement, as tho they were modern day princes and barons. I hated the way it felt. And so I hate the rich, not just as a Marxoid rebel, but as a human being who rejects their claim to superiority and the right to command others. Let me repeat: I hate the rich and powerful as a class. I have never met one who treated me with kindness, dignity, or respect. I have felt, in my few encounters, spat on. And so I hate not all individuals who are rich (there are exceptions) but the genraal class of the rich, the ones who run the show and feel entitled to treat the rest of us as peasants in a feudal world.
I now see the world in simpler terms: haves and have nots, with the haves looking down on us have nots and finding ways, laws, wars, gated communities, etc to expand their status and keep us down. I see Marx's class struggle as indeed the dialectic of history, with a constant battle, often masked, of the haves against the have nots and then, suddenly, the have nots rising, often violently in absence of any other weapon, to take down the haves.
Haves and have nots: that is my view at 85. A world of spoiled assholes who have and the rest of without. And so I urge all of you to join together and end this bloody and humiliating farce and create a world where there are none rich and so none poor, a world where there are no master and slaves. My only experience of such a world is thru the writing of Orwell, who in Barcelona described the brief era when the anarchists were in charge and tore down the norms o the class hierarchy.
Here is what he wrote, words that inspire to belive that what I see as revenge and redemption is possible, if at threat. Here is what he wrote in Homage to Catalonia, which I visited twice in my recent travels to feel the vibrations of that anarchistic refusal to obey the master of the world that still exists in a city that , almost unique among cities, is designed for people and not the rich, not cars, not commerce, but for living and sharing beauty open to all, streets without cars, plazas around every corner, medians wider than the streets full of playgrounds, sculpture, musicians, outdoor cafes, public spaces paved, by law, with tiles and paver so that even the ground we walk on, what is normally a spit infested and grotesequely ugly sidewalk, is infused with beauty and a refuation of the very idea that lower is less worthy.
So here's Orwell, with a breath of what Marx was hinting at, what the future might be if we understand it is not a utopia but a spirit of dignity and love for each other, equal and without hierarchy or entitlement, a world not of entitlement and privilege but of universal rights.
" The Anarchists were still in virtual control of Catalonia and the revolution was still in full swing. To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming. It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle. Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags or with the red and black flag of the Anarchists; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties; almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workmen. Every shop and cafe had an inscription saying that it had been collectivized; even the bootblacks had been collectivized and their boxes painted red and black. Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the face and treated you as an equal. Servile and even ceremonial forms of speech had temporarily disappeared. Nobody said 'Señior' or 'Don' or even 'Usted'; everyone called everyone else 'Comrade' and 'Thou', and said 'Salud!' instead of 'Buenos días'. Tipping was forbidden by law; almost my first experience was receiving a lecture from a hotel manager for trying to tip a lift-boy. There were no private motor-cars, they had all been commandeered, and all the trams and taxis and much of the other transport were painted red and black. The revolutionary posters were everywhere, flaming from the walls in clean reds and blues that made the few remaining advertisements look like daubs of mud. Down the Ramblas, the wide central artery of the town where crowds of people streamed constantly to and fro, the loudspeakers were bellowing revolutionary songs all day and far into the night. And it was the aspect of the crowds that was the queerest thing of all. In outward appearance it was a town in which the wealthy classes had practically ceased to exist. Except for a small number of women and foreigners there were no 'well-dressed' people at all. Practically everyone wore rough working-class clothes, or blue overalls, or some variant of the militia uniform. All this was queer and moving. There was much in it that I did not understand, in some ways I did not even like it, but I recognized it immediately as a state of affairs worth fighting for. Also I believed that things were as they appeared, that this was really a workers' State and that the entire bourgeoisie had either fled, been killed, or voluntarily come over to the workers' side; I did not realize that great numbers of well-to-do bourgeois were simply lying low and disguising themselves as proletarians for the time being."
Thanks, Dale. Inspiring.
Thank you Dale for every word. I beg young people to do the work of repairing the damage of former generations. Community and Solidarity.
I appreciate the thoroughness of this post, and the fact you took time to proofread it.
Hell of a narrative, Dale. Thanks for putting it out there.
Unfortunately the communism that they( the elite) are espousing is nothing like what you are describing! Their version is serfdom for the masses and the wealthy doing anything they please and owning everything for themselves! They have brainwashed the masses to believe that anarchy is violent which it is not! I believe you would enjoy the book TO SEE THE CAGE IS TO LEAVE IT!
the communism that they( the elite) are espousing" you wrote without mentioning who "they" are. The closest to Marx's vision is Mondragon, 100% democratic, worker owned and run. If you are talking about China, they are using a hybrid economy to develop China, and tho, as with all nations, there are human rights issues, Chinese today are far richer than ever, more free, and robustly satisfied with the government and thus giving the foundation of just rule: the consent of the governed
If you mean the Western elite, the capitalists, they are not espousing communism, which is the abolitoin of private ownership of the means of production but rather privatizing public assets and putting them into private hands. It's impossible to know what you are talking about.....
Dale Ruff, thanks for your story and your revelation that you hate "the rich, the powerful, those who run the world." I understand this hate to be in a collective sense, and that you make exceptions for certain individuals. Such a position is easy to understand, and I'm sure you're not alone in this attitude, as is the case with me. We may differ, however, on how we define "hate."
In the same way, I hate Judaism. Let me explain. I hate Judaism as a collectivity, and as with you, not on an individual basis. My justification is the fact that Judaism is extremely well organized in a political way and that it uses that organization to bribe our government, brainwash our people, destroy our democracy, commit Apartheid, land theft, genocide, and ethnic cleansing on Palestinians, and commit mass murder in countries surrounding Israel. Zionism/Israel is a product of Judaism.
To me, Judaism as a murderous cult with genocidal leaders and with an overwhelming percent of followers that believe they are superior to other human beings. Here are two facts to explain my hate. First, the single, universal belief within Judaism is that Zionism/Israel is necessary for the survival of Judaism for all time, and second, the overwhelming number of Jewish political leaders drive the above actions I collectively attribute to Judaism. Proof of the latter is the data given in the following link: https://iwasathought.substack.com/p/the-jewish-lobby
The first fact, above, justifies the description of Judaism as a cult. As a collective, countless times referred to as the "Jewish community," or "Jewish Peoplehood," by Jewish leaders, is not a religion in the traditional sense. As a collective, Judaism has rejected its traditional God. The above universal belief among virtually all its members is a secular religious belief. Thus, Judaism today is a secular religion, also known as a cult. Other examples of cults were the Jim Jones cult and the Heaven's Gate cult, which had their own secular religious beliefs. The second fact, above, means that the overwhelming number of followers support their leaders in these horrible endeavors. If that weren't true, we wouldn't be seeing what we see. Thus, the overwhelming majority of Jews practice and support the ethos expressed by their political leaders, regardless of whether or not they admit that they support the consequences and true horrors behind the endeavors I list above.
I thus exercise my right to hate a definable group of people, as many other people would admit hate towards Republicans, Democrats, Russians, Chinese, Muslims, Christians, AIPAC, the ADL, the Mafia, Nazis, and so on. We all have a human right to hate any group we choose. Perhaps most people here would acknowledge that Israel is now the most hated nation on the planet. That's not much different from saying the most hated people on the planet are Israeli Jews. Jewish leaders know it, and that's why they try to brainwash us about the dangers of antisemitism. Throughout history, and especially when we were in small groups in our biological environment, when our leaders failed us, hate was often a way to fix our problems. The means are often expressed by shunning, shaming, ostracizing, and boycotting. These can be helpful outcomes of hate towards people who behave despicably.
Judaism is most certainly a well-defined group of people with clear and obvious political objectives that are collectively supported by the overwhelming vast majority of followers. Political Zionism and Israel are products of Judaism. The "Zios" that many people hate are Zionist Jews, and from funding and membership numbers, it's a myth that so-called Christian Zionists play much of a political role in all this (see the data in the above link). And of course, Jews who demonstrate to me that, by word or deed, refuse the collective outcome of Judaism that I describe here, are exempt from my hate. I personally have many exceptions to the collective kind of hate I describe here.
For instance, how many dissidents hate Catholicism, or Calvinism, or the USA, or White Society, etc., for the horrible experiences they had as members of these groups? The hate I explain here is no different, and perhaps many people who have rejected their Judaism also hate Judaism for what it did to them during their childhood indoctrination.
I don't expect to get much agreement here, but it would be nice to get sound, rational comments, whether or not in agreement. My view is that, until the American public - both Jew and non-Jew - addresses these issues, our nation's exit down through the drain to the moral cesspool is assured.
First, you confuse Judaism, which has many branches and a long tradition of tolerance, co-existence, and treatment of outsiders......with Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions.
I oppose all religions but not the values they often proclaim and betray.
Second, I define hatred as an emotion provided by evolution as a tool of survival, which is so uncomfortable it all but forces us to either flee or eliminate the cause, something so unfair or brutal that it evokes this ancient instinct. It too is often manipulated by cunning leaders to act as a fuel for atrocities, but its essential nature is a feeling that compels us to act.
There are today 39% of American Jews, who according to a recent poll, find Israel guilty of genocide. Many are self-identified as religious Jews...and so I stand with them in this opposition, despite my general rejection of religion as, in the main, a negative force in history.
Third, this comment ignores the vast diversity of political positions from left to right taken by those who claim Judaism:
"Judaism is most certainly a well-defined group of people with clear and obvious political objectives...." Such certainty reminds me of what Eric HOffer wrote: 'We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand.' —
Zionism vs Judaism (often conflated)
Zionism = political movement supporting a Jewish nation-state.
Judaism = religion/peoplehood thousands of years older.
Positions among Jews include:
Strong Zionist
Critical Zionist
Post-Zionist
Anti-Zionist (e.g., some ultra-Orthodox groups)
Non-political
So even on Israel — the most politically charged issue — Jews are not unified." chatgpt with primary sources."
I would welcome your perspective once you corrected the bold and false claims which distort it.
Yes, many conflate Judaism with Zionism. Zionism mostly practiced by u.s. citizens.
I love the people I walk with, Jewish Voices for Peace and they live the name.
You might listen to a podcast Kayse Malone a former Zionist who knows and shares the inside of the hateful cult.
Dale Ruff, you said, "Here is what I want to say about the rich, the powerful, those who run the world. I hate them (I can make exceptions) but in my few encounters with the rich, they have been, without exception, arrogant and assuming they were superior."
You also comment on what I say: "First, you confuse Judaism, which has many branches and a long tradition of tolerance, co-existence, and treatment of outsiders......with Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions." And also, "Third, this comment ignores the vast diversity of political positions from left to right taken by those who claim Judaism."
Dale, you thus contradict yourself by accusing me of doing the same thing you do with the group of people you hate. Of course there are people within any group who dissent. It's childish to make this the main thrust of your argument. The critical fact is to observe the collective output of the group, which is what you do with the rich, but fail to do with Judaism. You also suggest deceit when you say "Zionism, which in its right wing interation subverts all those traditions." Yes, in its "right wing iteration," but you ignore other iterations, granting yourself a privilege you don't allow me.
I don't think you've analyzed your own position well enough, and I suggest you learn more about the many different political positions that many Zionists argue. Also, study more the statististics about both diaspora Jews and Israeli Jews, understanding that about half of all Jews are Israeli Jews.
Again, I'm not condemning you for your hate, I'm only pointing out that we have a right to hate anything we want, but you also have a sanctimonious attitude seems to believe only you have the right to hate a group you've decided to hate, yet I don't have the same right. It's also true that your beliefs about Judaism can never change my beliefs about Judaism and my beliefs about Judaism can never change your beliefs about Judaism, so why waste our time on it?
The only real issue is who has erroneous beliefs, and the only way to establish that is to analyze the facts, using sound reasoning. I've presented to you mine, but you don't do the same, other than the statistic about 39% of American Jews acknowledging the genocide, which is not really relevant here.
You said, "Many are self-identified as religious Jews...and so I stand with them in this opposition, despite my general rejection of religion as, in the main, a negative force in history."
Here are more facts, quotes from the Talmud that these religious Jews regard as one of their most sacred books:
QUOTES FROM THE JEWISH TALMUD:
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death." to
4. Libbre David 37: "To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly."
5. Libbre David 37: "If a Jew be called upon to explain any part of the rabbinic books, he ought to give only a false explanation. Whoever will violate this order shall be put to death."
6. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
7. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
8. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
9. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
10. Choschen Harmm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
11. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
12. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dla 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."
13. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."
14. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes, every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
15. Nidrasch Talploth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
16. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."
17. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
18. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
19. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
So much for your "religious" Jews.
Too much to take out so I will just deal with $20, which is fake. "Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
"That quote is not authentic as written and reflects a distorted / polemical mistranslation of Jewish legal texts.....What siman (section) 348 actually discusses
Siman 348 addresses:
Laws of theft
Returning stolen property
Restitution
Prohibitions against stealing from others
including non-Jews.
Classical halakhic law prohibits theft broadly
In fact, some rulings emphasize that stealing from non-Jews creates chilul Hashem (desecration of God’s name), considered especially severe.
Where the fake quote comes from
The line you cited appears in:
19th–20th century antisemitic pamphlets
Nazi propaganda tracts
Missionary polemics
Forged “Talmud exposes” literature
Common sources:
The Talmud Unmasked (Justinas Pranaitis, 1892 — widely discredited)
Nazi-era “translations”
Internet copy-paste quote lists" chatgpt with primary sources
Shame, shame, shame on you for promoting Nazi propaganda. Caitlin should ban you.
Dale, thanks for pointing out the fake quote from the Talmud, which I regrettably posted. After reading your comment, I did a little research, concluded that it was fake, and so deleted it, above. And for the record, I post the fake quote along with what I believe is the correct quote, below.
Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348:
Fake: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
Accurate: "It is forbidden to steal anything, even the smallest amount, from anyone—Jew or non-Jew. Stealing is prohibited even as a joke, even with the intention to return it, and even if one plans to compensate the victim."
Because of this, I'm wondering how many of the other quotes are fake. Can you help with that? Are there others that you're aware of, or can you please give me a searchable link that addresses all of them? I will probably research all of them myself, and maybe you know of places that will make it easier for me.
thanks for that sam, an interesting read indeed !
AND we vote for that. ?
YEP , we do , n send our kids to school to learn how to vote for that , religious private public university any old school , just as long as we vote n werk n pay taxes n shut up .
Goodonya Caitlin, keep going , got to prise them eyes open.
I plan to attend the pro-Palestine rally in Adelaide at 5.30pm today:
GENOCIDER HERZOG NOT WELCOME HERE
Isaac Herzog was a visitor to Epstein’s island in 2014. This corrupt Zionist should not be allowed anywhere near Australia. His support and complicity in the Gazan Palestinian genocide is only the latest in a long list of corruption, propaganda and lies.
The extent to which the Epstein operation was Zionist has, for some reason, been suppressed. It was always ‘us’ vs ‘the goys’. The superior human beings manipulating and using the subhuman animals. As Israel shows in Palestine and Epstein’s gang showed wherever it wanted, it is so much easier to rape and devastate children when your religion teaches they are worth less than the dirt on your shoe.
I doubt that Judaism teaches that. Morelike. in the fat tomes of the religion you can find passages that justify such a view, and others that contradict it. Same with the Christian Bible and no doubt the Koran and the Bagavad Gita. So substreams of religions with millions of adherents that last for centuries develop that cling to and build on that ideology. The "religion that teaches that they are worth less than the dirt on your shoe" justified the Nazis--mostly Christian--in their vicious treatment of Jews. And Roma and gays and communists...so don't oversimplify, the problem is not rooted in Judaism. As Dale Ruff's post above illuminates, there is a ruling class--and always has been through history [WRITTEN history starting a few thousand years ago, not human history]--that sees its "inferiors" in that light, and justifies it with whatever religion is extant at the time and place.
Thank you for this. Zionists have twisted Judaism to their own selfish ends. There are plenty of Jews around the world who share benevolent social values with Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and all the other spiritual traditions.
I hope Mr. Herzog gets a large "warm" welcome there. Free Palestine!
Yep - I’m just back from a huge rally in Perth…..
And the Adelaide rally was large and vociferous...well worth attending. Plenty of posters even stronger than mine!
Much love to you. You walk for all of us in the Nation of Caitlin. Every action I take it's for all of us. Thank you.
Thank you, I love you : )
Great article. Sometimes the insanity just writes itself. It's horrifying that this is all done and we're told it's for our protection, not just for the freaks in power to make more money.
Since the latest 'Epstein File' dump, Prof. Marandi was on George Galloway, and he (Marandi) said something that WE ALL need to make common, in our everyday communications.......
Prof. Marandi used the term, the 'EPSTEIN-CLASS' when referring to our 'rulers'.
It seems as though 'EVERYONE' was named in the latest file dump.
We need to now use this term when referring to our 'rulers'/'political-class'/'the elite'.
EXAMPLES:
Epstein-class Politicians
Epstein-class Presidents
Epstein-class Congress
Epstein-class Government
Epstein-class Intel Agencies
Epstein-class Police/Law Enforcement
Epstein-class Courts/Legal System
Epstein-class Pharma
Epstein-class 'Big Ag'
Epstein-class Education/Educators
Epstein-class Science/Scientists
Epstein-class Health Care/Medical
Epstein-class BIO-WEAPONS/(FAKE) PLANNEDemics
Epstein-class 'Religion'
Epstein-class Royalty
Epstein-class Banksters
Epstein-class Corporations/Businesses
Epstein-class Hollywood/Movies/Media
Epstein-class News Media/Press/Journalists
Epstein-class Social Media
and so on......!!
'THE SYSTEM' is EPSTEIN-CLASS!
THIS is how we NOW need to refer to these individuals, in 'positions of power'!
Because we ALL KNOW just 'HOW' they got into those 'positions of power', don't we?!
Those (so-called 'teachers', SKOOL Board members, and so on) who want to KEEP PUSHING
the 'TRANNY'/'LBGQXYZ' books, 'teaching', ect......ON CHILDREN......NOW NEED TO BE CALLED........
THE EPSTEIN-CLASS!
ASSOCIATE them ALL with EPSTEIN!
Turn 'The Gay Pride Parades' in to......
The Epstein-class Parades!
And so on.....!
Epstein as an illusionist/wizard, providing whatever they want, and thereby controlling them. Backed by the great voice of "The Big O":

BRAVO.
Wow. You start out making a good point (someone else's actually) about an effective framing of the ruling class, and then turn round and want to apply it most of the population perhaps, and particularly anyone you disagree with--like gays having rights??
"and then turn round and want to apply it most of the population"
???? Who, exactly, is 'most of the population', that you speak of???
"gays having rights"????
EVERYONE has the SAME Right!! NO ONE should have 'special'/MORE Rights that anyone else!
That's the problem LGBTQ do not have the same rights other than many no longer have to hide in the closet. The Sec. of Energy states people who are LGBTQ can not show their pride. I can not support my Niece. Friends who are not white do not have the same rights. We pretend they do.
Methinks that you do not live in the Real World/Reality.
You've bought the PROPAGANDA.....hook, line & sinker!!
What, Rights, EXACTLY, do 'gays' NOT have, that the rest of us do??
The right to marry, unquestioned, the right to take a job they're qualified for, rent an apartment, hang out in a nightclub, whatever--they currently have the LEGAL right to do these things, and they're much less likely to be harassed or denied than even 25 years ago, but the right wing is working hard to reverse all that.
You're kidding, right??
In Western Countries.......pretty much all countries, gays being employed, getting an apartment, going to night clubs, and 'whatever', is NOT AN ISSUE!!
And BELIEVING otherwise, is a MASSIVE DELUSION!!
As far as marriage goes......we need to unpack a few things, on this subject.
First, and foremost......'governments' have NO BUSINESS in the 'marriage business'. Yet, the ZOMBIES just ACCEPT that a govt has the RIGHT to stick their nose into peoples marriages.
For thousands and thousands and thousands of years, the marriage between and man and a woman was a 'religious'/'spiritual' thing.
Marriage is far, FAR OLDER than the concept of 'government'!
Marriages, Births & Deaths.....a 'govt' has NO BUSINESS being involved in!
PERIOD!
Two people getting married?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
The birth of babies?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
(NON Murder) Death in the family?......NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS!
So, now we have the MENTAL ILLNESS of 'gays' DEMANDING that A 'GOVERNMENT' 'allow' them to marry. And when this Right is GRANTED, these individuals CHEER.....as if it were a GOOD thing!
First, lets get things CRYSTAL CLEAR......a 'govt' does NOT GIVE HUMANS, RIGHTS!
If a 'govt' can GIVE YOU RIGHTS......that means that they can also TAKE THOSE RIGHTS AWAY!
It is GOD (The Creator) that GIVES WE HUMANS OUR RIGHTS.......which means that NO ONE.....no individual, nor a 'govt', can TAKE THEM AWAY!!.....ONLY GOD CAN!
Which brings me to HETEROSEXUAL couples & Marriage......
THEY need to DEMAND that 'government' GET OUT OF THEIR MARRIAGES!
Again, a 'govt' has NO BUSINESS sticking their nose into someones Marriage!
Here's a question for the 'BRAIN-DEAD-ZOMBIE SLAVES'.......
WHY do 'YOU' need to ASK PERMISSION of a 'GOVT' to GET MARRIED??
ANSWER: a HUMAN does NOT!
But yet......the SLAVES run to a 'govt' to ASK PERMISSION to GET MARRIED.
This is what a 'MARRIAGE LICENSE' IS!
WHY are 'YOU' asking the PERMISSION of a 'govt' TO GET MARRIED???
WHY are people DOING THIS???
A 'Government-Sanctioned' MARRIAGE???
Really?.......REALLY??
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When one ASKS PERMISSION (a Marriage Lic) of a 'Govt' to get married......that marriage now consists of THREE Entities......the man, woman AND THE GOVERNMENT!
This is also why one NEEDS PERMISSION (from a 'govt') to DIVORCE......because it's a THREE-WAY DIVORCE.
You're not ONLY divorcing each other.....the two of you are also DIVORCING THE GOVERNMENT!
How SICK is THAT?!
Yet......the Zombies just ACCEPT it all!
GET GOVT OUT OF THE MARRIAGE BUSINESS!!
Here in the u.s. the right to marry who you want is being challenged in the courts as I write. My Niece and her partner hurried to get married while it is still possible. The process was delayed and delayed.
You can dream that we live in the perfect world of equality.
Unless I misunderstood your comment, you seemed to be saying that everyone in your long list, including plenty of middle-class people, and everyone pushing gay rights, should be labeled "Epstein class." That's most of the population. I agree, everyone should have equal rights.
I don't think he understands. They do not have the same rights. We pretend they do. The NotsoSupreme Court is talking about taking marriage away. My Niece got married to the love of her life for that very reason. We pretend just as we pretend Black and Brown people have the same rights. He should speak to a few people outside the bubble.
I still do not comprehend what this 'gay rights' thing is???
Especially when I'd just said that EVERYONE HAS THE SAME RIGHTS!
Are you trying to say that 'gays' should have MORE RIGHTS than everyone else??
So-called 'gay rights' is NOT A THING!
My list targets those in POSITIONS OF POWER, not 'every-day people' walking the streets.....unless, of course, they ARE PEDOS!
Those who are in POSITIONS OF POWER.......99% of the time, ABUSE THAT POWER! And they will DO ANYTHING to hold on to that POWER (OVER OTHERS).
THIS is now called.....The Epstein-class!
To climb that 'POWER LADDER'......they will DO ANYTHING!
And there are plenty of 'Middle-class people' (IN POSITIONS OF POWER), that ARE the Epstein-class.
Lets take 'Police Depts', as an example.
Ask yourself this question.......WHY is it, with all of this CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING going on, are there not A LOT MORE PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED FOR DOING IT??
ANSWER: Because MOST Police Depts are HIGHLY CORRUPT (most are trained by the IDF, by the way......Iz-ra-HELL, a MASSIVE/MAJOR Child Trafficking Hub!). Within these 'Cop Shops', the 'Top Cops' BELONG to Child Sex Trafficking Rings! So there's your 'Middle-class' Epstein-class!
You seem to not comprehend just how badly the USSA/The West has been usurped by EVIL. (aka the Epstein-class)
And it's been going on LONG before Epstein was even born!!
But, using that Satanic, EVIL piece of shit, as 'THE POSTER BOY' for the EVIL that is going on, today, just seems appropriate, to me.
This individual (Epstein) is SO VILE......it's appropriate!
Looks like I did misunderstand you. But I think you exaggerate. I also think the example you chose, police, is probably the one where the most non-Epstein class people hold those values--authoritarianism, domination, selfishness excused as a virtue. This is because people with authoritarian personalities are drawn to those jobs, and those hiring do not screen for that trait, as they should--and some probably do screen FOR it. But scientists are people who are fascinated with some element of reality and want to spend lots of time studying it--this is generally beneficial for society. Teachers are either those with a passion for educating--absolutely a good thing--or those who chose teaching as a default, for a way to make a living, which is not good but doesn't make them Epstein class. And I don't think pedophiles are everywhere.
Exactly!

Outstanding article, as always, Caitlyn. I clicked through, by the way, to your prior article on how Trump was bought by the richest Israeli in the world -- Miriam Adelson (and her husband, Sheldon Adelson, while he was alive).
.
Trump sells out cheap, doesn't he? Granted, the Adelsons jointly paid Trump over $500 million in graft, but, for goodness sakes, what's one more half a billion to a billionaire? And what does half a billion buy these days, anyway? Maybe a cup of coffee, and....
.
... let's see... oh yes, it also buys... the Golan Hights, and... moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and... doubling down on the most evil and vicious genocide of the 21st Century… and... killing off and ethnically cleansing over two million indigenous inhabitants of Palestine.... and, need we go on?
.
As you say, Caitlyn, the evils that our rulers get up to in private pales compares to what they get up in public. Funny, really, isn't it? I mean, with most normal people, it's usually the other way around.
.
Are you sure the money really comes from the Adelsons? It may just as well be dollars originating from US aid to Israel, and sent back via the Adelsons... Who knows? This may be true not only in the case of Trump, but in the case of all American politicians bought by AIPAC.
.
You know, I would not be in the least surprised to find out that was the case.
.
I mean that is essentially what is going on, anyway, is it not. And not only with the Adelsons and Trump. The powerful and the wealthy bribe our politicians to funnel taxpayer money back to them in the form of subsidies, and gifts and tax exemptions, and what-have-you. It's just one big money-go-round, isn't it?
.
I have to say, I never thought about that connection. Our own money being laundered back to the evil. Wow, thank you.
"In full view of the whole world"or as I put it,in front of God and everybody.
I marvel that people in my country openly believe that these ridiculous antics are ACCEPTABLE to them!!
I didn't vote for this bullshit either time,I told people what would happen,and happen it had,in Spades.
Very well put, Caitlin. Gery Warner
What you are not seeing is our government being complict and supporting these evil individuals and proxy governments. By proxy I mean lobbyists, sponsors, financial backers. With those that we see as nothing more than puppets on a string. And the average Joe hooked on technology unable to know the difference between real and fake information. The time for a revolution is comming when the public takes back control.
That time has been calling us for years, but instead in Murrika they voted for drumpf - again, knowing that he was out for vengeance on anyone who could see what he was, though he's so much more worse than anyone saw.
It must now be obvious to anyone interested that the Zionist billionaires all acting on behalf of the apartheid ethnocentric state of Israel completely control Western Governments. The countries most susceptible were all conquered by settler colonial imperialists. The Zionists are simply the latest group of settler colonialists. The Palestinians are the first peoples to be live-streamed slaughtered while the world watches and says nothing. Not one of these Zionist billionaires are self-made. Their fortunes have been stolen from the Commons. This power and greed can only be psychopathic. When the less than 1% have stolen all of the wealth and power then what ? If the live streamed genocide of Palestine continues and the sociopathic war criminal, Netanyahu, takes further control of the US Congress, it that is at all possible, then what? Our only hope is that more people will read Caitlin’s fine work and rise up against these immoral politicians and their donors.

Every decade has been equally disastrous by these so called leaders that unfortunately we elect over and over again. Or may be I am just more aware of it now! It's hard to breathe in this world
Well put caitlain!
They aren’t elected. They’re selected. Voting provides us with the illusion of choice.
Said the late George Carlin. RIP🙏🙏💪👍
No-one seems to have noticed, but the new standard seems to be ‘no lives matter’. Governments, for example, would rather sacrifice, or at the very least arrest, their own people than try to stop a genocide, and the racist scumbags in charge of the genocide are happy to put their own vile religitard population at risk by making it the most deservedly despised on earth. Ask yourself, next time you hear of an atrocity, ‘would this have happened if governments cared about people?’, and the answer will be ‘of course not’. No lives matter. We are all Palestinians. If humans are mere expendable inconveniences, why bother with human rights? It is the greatest and scariest abandonment of an essential principle, and no-one’s talking about it. Your government doesn’t like you, or value you, or have the least intention of serving you. Your life doesn’t matter. Under the current gang of shameless western thugs, everything civilization pretended to stand for is pissed into the wind.
