The mods have to intercept a lot of plain ugly and sophomoric (or even semi-literate) comments. The trolls go especially crazy when I post any appeals for support (I guess the thought of somebody actually helping me *really* pisses them off). So today I decided to share with you one such comment, which is so typical in its mediocrity, that it could be in a dictionary next to “troll”. Here it is
This is the kind of guys the Saker blog really, seriously, angers. They seethe with rage, yet they can do nothing, so they always fall back to their “the Jews did it all!” kind of nonsense. Folks, these guys are really sick, not only psychologically, but spiritually. It is thanks to such freaks that Christianity got such a bad reputation in the West. The truly frightening aspect of this all is that these freaks think of themselves as “God fearing” and “man” when, in reality, they are neither.
Eventually, such characters give up, and spew their hatred of me and this blog on other websites (as if I cared or as if their efforts had any impact at all).
The truth is this: the IQ Bell Curve has two halves, and it is impossible to totally eliminate all those who stand squarely and proudly on the left side of this curve. All we can do is mitigate their toxicity as best can be (note: I use the image of the IQ Bell Curve metaphorically, ditto when I speak of “elimination”).
I am posting this to give you all a “behind the scenes” look at what we have to deal with on a daily basis. Hopefully, this will encourage you all to see what makes the Saker blog unique and worth supporting: yes, we will discuss rabbinical Judaism and Zionism, and we are not afraid of denouncing the Neocons or russophobic Jews. But we will never, EVER, agree to find a single cause for all evils out there, nor will be ever accept ANY racist ideology, be it Jewish or anti-Jewish. I think that I can speak for all of our community when I say that we reject all forms of racism because we believe in our common humanity. We are, after all, all sons of Adam.
Yes, in modern times, to walk such a thin line is not easy. But I believe that it is absolutely necessary.
Kind regards
Andrei
NOT all Jews have the same opinion about everything. There are many different Jews.
Some people do not understand that. Or maybe they do not want to understand that.
Lots of people don’t want to understand things that contradict an emotionally held belief . Wilful ignorance is very common.
I am agnostic, so I do not believe in any god as well I do not believe that there is no god at all. I think that the knowledge about the existence of gods is outof human reach.
Even so I recognize that are plenty of good words in all sacred books, the Bible, the Coran, the Torah, and so on.
In Proverbs 26, 4 and 5, we read:
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
That may seem a little bit contradictory at first sight, but tell us that we must look at the situation to select the way we will answer, in order to get the better option for that moment.
I understand the difficulties The Saker faces with moderating comments. There are situations in which a badly written comment even so carry a message that should prosper in order to respect the freedom off speech.
Also the moderators have their own beliefs and it is difficult to deal with antagonic texts.
I thank very much indeed the persons that have that tedious, difficult and important task.
One advice, that I do not know if it is possible to implement: to create a data base of commenters and give each one of them a grade, so the moderators could direct their efforts to ungraded commenters and lowgraded commenters.
Anotger suggestion: to put a “Denounce” button besides reply, so the readers could help in this job.
If you read Jewish proverbs you will be confused……but belief in God is areligious. One does not need a religion to have faith in God….that’s what Jesus was all about….destroying the first mental prison designed by those that find mental shackles easier for control rather than physical shackles.

There are so many races all over the planet and they where there long before some narcissistic rabbinical control freaks dreamed up the creation myth, and the entire Arc with ‘God’ making them the bosses…….yea right.
And Jesus never left any writings …It was the apostles who left the writings …I remember my mother reading the bible when I was about 5 years old …..I asked the question “why are they the chosen people not us?”…….of course it took another several decades before I got my answers,,,from basic life experience.
BTW I worked in the music biz for all my adult life …at the top so to speak.The evidence is everywhere and can not be unseen.
I am Irish and U2 were always a shite band …they could not and still can not play anything above kindergarten level …as for the “edge” take away his Gizmo pedals and you are left with a black hole.
Andrei Martyanov has a good vid of a “fart pedal” from a few days ago, would suit U2 guitar sound and complement their politics!!
U2 made a career with fan base of anglozio fundamentalist/tattooed so called evangelistic Christians …a herd of true zombies is ever suchexisted …think about the addition of swastikas and runes and there you go …the road to hell,and Jesus the master was never known to write anything .Talk about who owns the media….I may offend the mods if I continue
Keep the tricolour flying Sean
@TJT
No offense but this narrative of ‘God’s chosen people’ is also something that’s used by Zionists to justify their racism and evil deeds.
There isn’t any ‘chosen people’ as such. It all depends on your individual actions and thinking patterns.
Sorry to inform you, but the theory of “race” is a social construction and has no basis in science. As long as you are aware of this fact, you will maintain your intellectual integrity.
Hebrew is NOT the same as “Jewish”
The Old Testament covers the Hebrew religion. It covers 10 Tribes plus most of the tribe of Levi (the priests who had no territory, but lived among the other tribes) being carried off into captivity, never to be heard from again in ancient Isreal…..and ends around the time that the tribe of Judea and the remaining portion of the tribe of Levi was carried off into captivity in Babylon.
While in Babylon, the Judeans were introduced to a Babylonian mystery religion, which combined with Old Testament writings, produced a profane perversion, of which came to be known as Pharisees. Phariseeism holds a series of oral arguments (the “Babylonian Talmud”) in greater esteem than the Holy books of the Old Testament. Jesus REPEATEDLY blew the Pharisees out of the water with arguments starting with the simple phrase: “Is it not written … [Principle which the Pharisees ardently disobey, despite being clearly shown to be the will of God in the Old Testament writings.].
Phariseeism is the immediate predecessor to Judaism.
Do not confuse the beliefs and behaviors of modern day Jews (most of whom aren’t even descendants of Judea, but in fact, imposters from Noah’s grandson Ashkenaz, who has NOTHING to do with any of the 12 tribes of Isreal, as they are a completely separate line of descent (being the descendants of Noah’s grandson “Shem” from which we get the word “Semite”). Ashkenazis, not being descendant from Shem, are, by definition, not Semitic.
Thank you Andrei. Every blog that attempts to walk the line of “we reject all forms of racism because we believe in our common humanity” is probably fighting a similar fight behind the scenes. I wish that it were only a matter of knuckle draggers deep on the left side of the bell curve. Haters will hate because hate is a corrosive evil that burns up the soul until there is nothing left but the hate, and by that late stage metastasis it all becomes about some one particular variety of hate – to them it truly represents the “single cause for all evils out there”.
These pitiful wretches are slaves to their hate and we do the most compassionate thing that we can do when we use solid moderation, and simply refuse to feed their obsession.
At least for the stupid we have some recourse to education.
You use the evil logic here though, you classify a *Human emotion*, in this case hate as something beyond the pale and that is exactly what they spent a lot of money on programming non-analytical people to think. When you should hate people(Not A People) that actively want to hurt you and yours.
God gave us emotions and only the very wicked or the gullible would think of making an *emotion* something “bad”, so before you buy into every talking point of the wicked maybe you should reflect a bit before writting your very pretty virtue signal.
Tribalism ; the converse of individual merit ; irrespective of Tribe is inherent in the Talmud. Israel Shahak ; a brilliant Jewish Scholar has a cutting critique of Talmudic ” so called” Eastern European Jews. Solzhenitsyn sums up Russia’s travails because of Khazarian Jews. Having said this…..I had consistently worked for the finest Jewish businessmen in the years before I started my own business…..and my late Lawyer Father told me as a child; ” you cannot find finer people that practicing Orthodox Jews. The Media ; Banks ; and Big Pharma are not run by Scandanavians or Irishmen. Read the Talmud.
In private tuition, they teach their children to be Herders, while they sit on the boards of Public Education where they teach the children of others to be Sheep. Read some SoCal school board meeting minutes.

A Self-Professed Christian for Hitler by Gary North

Yet he still has defenders. Some of them like to think of themselves as Christians.

Karl Marx was not “anti-semite” in his “On the Jewish Question”. There are poems he wrote in his youth that show what he was. Young Marx wrote that he had struck a deal “with Satan” (quote).
Gary North is Jewish, which should be mentioned when the issue is about “lunatics” who are “Anti-Semitic.” North must be familiar with the poems that Karl Marx (Jewish also) wrote when he was young, since libertarian Murray N. Rothbard included some of them in a book on Austrian economics history.
Yikes. But then I figured y’all gotta deal with this sh*t. Yet onward righteous soldiers.
I don’t pay a lot of attention to such comments, but my suspicion is that many of them are not sincere and are an attempt to taint the venue with blatant anti-Semitism. This makes later discrediting or calls for censorship much easier.
That was also my reaction to the above quote. In addition, they are presumably trying to (a) provoke real anti-semites to spew their venom, and most importantly (b) corrupt the rational views and understanding of normal readers who see the injustices inflicted by the zionists and have some tempttion to react in support (either in mind or in words) of the venom. Typical zionist misdirection.
Very good Saker. That’s why I follow this site. An oasis of clarity.
(On the other hand, it is an old trick to make us focus our eyes on another or others, and thus their evil and crimes are not seen… Or the trick of starting a fight in the street and, while we crowd to watch, their cronies they steal our wallets…)

I despise racism in all forms and the subtle racism thrown out usually by the main suspect Hollywood needs to be challenged. An observation of mine over the years especially in action movies usually the first violent death is a POC with the subliminal message their lives are cheap and of little value.
Well, Mr. Raevsky, if you anger this kind of people, then you must be doing something right ;-)
These comments are more often than not from paid trolls, as you well know.
Automated artificial ‘inteligence’ even, with the only purpose of derailing honest conversation.

Am I a racist to support my race? If so be it, I am a proud racist then, yet I do not wish bad to other races and this puts me apart from the racism of the Jews.
If you consider that race defines consciousness, then you are a racist.
I wouldn’t surprise me if a large amount of those ‘it’s the Jews’ type comments are actually posted by members of the ‘Alphabet Soup’ (aka the intelligence agencies) in order to smear and denegrate yours and other websites that look to give readers an alternative to the wall of bs noise presented by the MSM. I’ve noticed that when sites like The Saker start to gain traction, those types of ‘comments’ start to flood in. On a postive note, it’s also an indicator that you are on the right track with your writings when the trolls try to flood your comments section.
It’s a vile version of the ‘Boy who Cried Wolf’, but the moral of that story still holds true. The more they keep playing their ‘ace in the pack’, the less effect it will have over time.
Keep up the good work friends, I have a feeling history will remember you kindly.

Though I’m not Jewish, I can say this with assuredness, salvation began with the Jews and it will end with the Jews. Thus the twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel, the 144,000 Jewish remnant that will be saved in the end (Rev. 7:3-8)
This is the lay of the land down here; Jesus answered and said unto them, “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the Kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (Matthew 13:37-39)
Our Jewish brothers and sisters have borne a fair amount of responsibility and accountability on our behalf, and for that we should be grateful, and thankful to them. Think of it this way. When God chose them as His ‘chosen ones’ He focused a bright light on them for all of us to witness and observe through. You might say He chose them to use as an example. He said to them that if they would obey His commandments, follow His edicts, and be righteous in their dealings with others, He would bless them more than any other peoples on the earth, but if they refused to obey His commandments, refused to follow His edicts, and were unrighteous in their dealings with others, they would be cursed more than any other peoples on the earth. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for them through which we can learn much, beneficial to our spiritual growth journey down here. Do not hate anyone because of their race. There will be some in heaven from every nation, kindred and tongue. (Rev. 5:9)
The family God planted me into down here was half Irish(maternal) and German(paternal). My father eventually owned his own retail business, and was known to (rarely) vocalize his displeasure regarding an owner of a similar business down the street from his. My older brother became a C.P.A. married a Jewish girl (I sensed, out of spite towards our father) and is buried in the Jewish part of the cemetery in San Diego. The Lord Jesus Christ spoke to me up there before He put me in my mother’s womb. I just bide’d my time until I was old enough to be on my own and then went forward in truth, without built in bias from my childhood.
There is good and bad in every area down here, I recommend carrying the good in our hearts, let the devil do his own dirty work getting us to dwell and focus on the bad .
Monomania gets annoying. That a single cause is responsible for everything that happens is very lazy thinking.
It is most definitely a fine line, because the dominant force in the Empire of Lies is clearly Zionism. The sheer number of Jews present in government is such, that it can’t be ignored. Jews largely run American foreign policy institutions. They tend to despise Russia, and now even China, since their planned pivot to China was rejected by Xi.
Yet, that is a very specific set of Jews though, right? A Sephardic Jew in Jerusalem, or an Ethiopian Jew, might have completely opposite views. Stephen Miller is the undisputed champion of Traditional Americans. So clearly a monomaniacal approach is unhelpful in explaining everything.
Also, what commenters like the troll in question don’t understand, is that there are currents of thinking that are equally imperialist and anti-heartland, that emerged unrelated to Jews. Such as the “Yankee Brahmin” culture of the New England elite, which contains the Bush dynasty, and has been no less focused on middle eastern interventionism. They also have pushed many of the destructive social policies people like the commenter hold Jews accountable for. Scandinavian liberalism in Minnesota is another example of a cultural influence that often coincides with Zionism.
It truly is a fine line; Americans have to wake up and condemn Zionism, and the pervasiveness of thoroughly Jewish-in-origin anti-Christian and anti-natural law thinking, while at the same time, avoid monomania, and allowing for no variation among the world’s Jewish populations. All while being told that anti-Zionism is anti-semitism, and being smeared as the latter.
Unfortunately, that seems too difficult for most. Look at my tortured comment as an example of an ordinary midwit trying to make sense of things.
Monomania gets annoying. That a single cause is responsible for everything that happens is very lazy thinking.
Exactly! And also, by blaming everything and anything on “the Jews” allows a lot of non-Jewish SOBs to get away with murder (including literally!).
How putatively intelligent people don’t see through this infantile nonsense always baffles me.
I guess some people just don’t like thinking too much ;-)
Many of those so called “right extemists” are controlled opposition, deeply infiltrated by “jewish” interests, making a lot of noise about the circumcised wrongdoer. Then the latter ones duly play the victim of anti-“semitism”. *
E.g. those in Ukruine, who are in symbiosis with the “jewish” oligarchs against the common muskal enemy. The “logical” conclusion (of western thought school) is that ukronazis are no nazis at all…
The “chosen” ones are the main culprit by their intrirnsic racism towards the goyim. Then the action-reaction principle applies.
Regarding censorship, those revelling in their job are usually on the left side of the gaussian curve.
*) The biggest anti-semites are the khazars themself – ask the palestinians, and other (true) semites, or even the sephards (true descendants of biblical jews)
The dogs bark, the caravan moves on.
All the best to you, Andrei, and to this wonderful blog!
I always try to not get emotionally involved when I read comments or news articles. Emotions are wonderful. But in a public discourse with thousands of voices and events they tend overwhelm our mind and hamper our rational thought processes.
Benjamin Freedman(if you can get his un-censored speech you gotta read it) and David Cole are two names I usually remind myself of when my mind starts to play marching songs.
Also if you force a good guy to side with the other side because of self-protection then you really hurt your own side twice, no?

And you should not paint all commentors as religious just because you are a believer. I am certainly not a decendant of Adam.
if you don’t even understand a metaphor, why bother reading this blog?
Why give your time and energy to hatred, when there is more than enough in the world, so much so that the world seems more governed by hatred than anything else. Love is better.
The example of a troll comment you gave seems fair enough, but it is a critique of the very personal nature of some of the moderation choices and decisions on here. Commenters are very gracious about this I’ve noticed….
“We are, after all, all sons of Adam.”
Are we really?
In the “Book of Enoch” it is said otherwise: some offspring are of „Eve“ (human wife) and the „Fallen Ones“ (watchers, angles). And it is this offspring, who haven’t „Adam“ as father, called Nephilim, and their offspring, the Raphaim” who caused the bloody mess on Earth till today.
What do you think?
I think there are enough choices to keep people happy, and enough restrictions to keep them mad.
“Are we really?”
I guess it was meant allegorically, because in the Bible it is evident that Adam is not the father of all when Cain is expulsed from paradise but must be protected from the people who might kill him in other places, and feels in danger. Those other people are not sons of Adam in Genesis.
.Noah’s flood took care of that yes?

Sometimes I’d share a comment or two from here with my few remaining friends in israel (yes, I still have a few. Am from there myself and it’s hard to lose all your friends….hat’s a joke, BTW).
They laugh and say the non-jewish people out there (and even some of the jewish ones) are total amaeurs. No one can hate Jews more than they already hate each other in israel. ragging on everybody else is, like a national pastime. The secular Ashekenazi despise and really hate both orthodox and non-orthodox. The Mizrahi orthodox just hate the Ashkenazi descendants and can’t wait to see the back of them. The orthodox despise the Ultra-orthodox (cf the :Black hats” as they call them) and the latter chuckle at the heretics who don;t know their talmud from a bad-mood.
Too bad – or may be good? – that the vast majority of the ones who love to throw spit balls this way and that way can’t read hebrew. If they did – they could learn so much more about the languaguistics of true hatred and/or contempt.
I’d share a few pearls of spite but (1) that’d be ‘telling” and (2) not sure it’s actually translatable.
No, I think you are fooling yourselves in thinking that you ‘hate’ each other and are such peculiar characters who mostly like to argue with themselves or among the various sects. That’s often told and heard. You’re at the center of a serious controversy about religion/theology. You don’t “like that.” Still, your ancient ancestors were either chosen by Yahweh (whose name was deleted from your Scriptures and in most translations anyway), and “the sons” of God, with the rest of humanity considered less than you and as even people to be avoided, or they were charlatans of the worst kind. To present oneself in this context as separate from it, a rather charming fellow who just likes to argue, always without disagreeing, rejecting or apologizing for the casting of the rest of humanity as “anti-Semite” (to not say “anti-Jewish”), is dislikable (disdainful too).
Racism is something you just accuse him or others of. Jesus himself said that their father is Satan and this wasn’t a statement about their genetics but about their rejection and revolutionary fight against God.
Jesus didn’t lie, he wasn’t an Antisemite. Neither was Saint Paul.
And he said that they are the enemies of God and of all mandkind.
Does this mean all Jews are the enemies of God? No, the holy mother didn’t cry “crucify him”, neither did St Peter and many others. But the Jews as a collective with their leadership did exactly that.
And today they behave exactly the same way as back then, see Israel, see the US government which is run by Jews, the US media and so on.
And lastly see all the Jewish organisations (secular like the ADL and religious) who proclaim that banning abortion is Antisemitic and limiting Jews from practicing their religion.
When I’m taking them at their word then I have to ask which religion are they practicing here where they need abortion? Looks like worship of Moloch to me.
The writer of the quote has a problem because of his focus on Jews, on people. If “the devil” is essentially real as a non-human adversary who is assaulting everybody (starting with some yet aiming at all), then we are all like brothers in the same quandary. It’s then wrong to lay all the blame on some race-group of human beings, and you might as well lay the blame on all of humanity if you do that. In other words, if there is a devil but he is ignored when casting blame on a people, the accusation is “diabolical”, right?

Kharzarians are not true Jews
Well, the person at the helm of Ukraine (appointed by his friends in the west) is Jewish, and a zionist as well. That’s enough to say it all. The ones who have heavy influence and control of western media and finance put him in power to keep a perpetual crisis going (just like so-called israel in west Asia). It’s true not all Jews are the same but most who are behind it all are, in one way or another.
The quote does not show a “Saker hater” in my opinion. It’s not a troll either to me. The writer (quote) could be called a “hater.” He seems to ‘hate’ Jews. It’s hard not to be called an “anti-Jewish”, on the other hand. The devil says he is a Jew. He always said the Jews are his people. He is the father of lies. But, we have an obvious problem. Where does the “Christian” and son of Adam fit in this actual problem? Tranquilocomp is not a son of Adam nor a son of Zeus, but would rather be a son of Zeus than a son of Adam. You know, the story of Adam is an ancient “Hebrew” story. The Zeus story is a Gentile story. Being Gentile, this preference is natural.
There are some ‘good commentators’, supposedly, who like to insult people and their favorite insult is “troll.” One of them says “subliminal troll” – think about it, “subliminal.” He just doesn’t like you or your comment! By the way, more than a few people have been identified as “possibly a troll” who are not trolls. Maybe the word “troll” should be defined. To me, “troll” is someone paid, a professional in a confused organization who visits websites to disrupt on purpose. There is a sense that there was a time here when anti-Jewish comments were not condemned, and that now the blog is moving towards distancing itself, if not condemning, those comments. The impression might be wrong, but it is perceptible to more than the writer of the quote.

okay, here then: /anglozionist-short-primer-for-the-newcomers/
and here: /why-i-use-the-term-anglozionist-and-why-its-important/
Language changes over time. Originally, the Israelites where the descendants of the Jacob/Israel’s 12 sons. Jacob being the son of Isaac and Rebekah and grandson of Abraham. There was an internal conflict after King Solomon’s death which lead to the formerly united Kingdom of Israel being split into the northern Kingdom of Israel and Southern Kingdom of Judah. King Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin and David & Solomon were from the tribe of Judah. In Hebrew Judah is Yehudah. God has an eternal covenant with David and his descendants, and the Messiah will be a direct male descendent in an unbroken line of King David. There were exceptions, but most of the kings of Judah were good and loyal to God. Over time, Yehudim (people of Yehudah) was Anglicized into Jew or Jewish.
Throughout human history, there are cultures that have had written traditions or oral traditions. Some cultures have had only oral traditions. There are 3 oral traditions within Judaism that are applicable here. One is that God gave both a written Torah (the 5 Books of Moses, Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, Deuteronomy) and oral Torah at Mt Sinai. The written Torah provides general instruction but there are some matters where the oral tradition is critical. The other is that not only were the Israelites who left Egypt physically present when God gave Moses the Torah on Mt Sinai, the soul of every single Jew who would ever live was also there. This is especially important with the matter of “converts”. They’re not changing who they are but rather fully realizing who they are. I believe Islam has a similar tradition, which is not surprising since Jews & Muslims are literal and spiritual cousins (both peoples descended from 2 1/2 brothers. One Jewish tradition is that in the Messianic Age, the children of Isaac and children of Ishmael will mend their differences, see how much we have in common and share in worship of God.
In Judaism, both Jews and non-Jews are equal. The Torah states repeatedly that Jews are to treat others with the same dignity and respect they treat fellow Jews with. Both the Torah and Talmud repeat the same thing again and again, to treat the Jew and the stranger (ger) the same. There is one law alike for both, since we are all fully and equally human. Every single human on the planet is created in God’s image, and part of every human soul comes directly from God. The Hebrew word ger literally means stranger and the same word is used for both converts and non-Jews. We’re all part of the same human family.
Yes, the Jews were chosen by God but it is critical to read the entire Torah and Book of Prophets and Book of Writings to fully understand exactly what this means. Jews are to be a nation of priests and holy nation, teaching the people of the world about God. The Torah, Book of Prophets and Book of Writings is collectively called the Tanakh. The Tanakh specifies exactly what the consequences will be if the Jews don’t live up to their end of the bargain and fall into idol worship and immorality. Part of Deuteronomy is widely held to fortell the Holocaust as a consequence for the iniquities of the Jews. One fairly constant theme in Tanakh is for there to be Jews who say worship idols, God gets very angry but also reiterates how much He loves them and will always remember them. Just as your children might make you furious at times, but you always love them. We are created in God’s image.
Another oral tradition is about the character of people, gleaned from stories handed down to each generation and intense study of every aspect of the Torah itself. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are all men of hospitality and compassion. Compassion and empathy are defining character qualities of Jews. If I had to sum up what it is to be a Jew I would say it is seeking to balance compassion and morality. Or as Hillel said to love your neighbor as yourself.
All Jews have an intense spiritual longing for the land God gave them. The Tanakh details this and also describes the relationship between the Jews, the land of Israel and God. It is notable that when the Jews angered God by turning away from morality and compassion, they were exiled from the land.
In Judaism, each human has both an evil inclination and a good inclination. We are all free to choose good or evil. Repentance is possible. Admit what was done, apologize, promise to never do it again and actually follow through on the promise. Prayer and fasting can also help, but supporting and treating the widow, orphan and most vulnerable with dignity and respect is what God desires most, above any sacrifice.
Judaism is also unique in that there is no exclusion of non-Jews from….”path of salvation” isn’t exactly the right idea but it is close enough. Jews have to keep the entire Torah. Non-Jews just have to follow 7 laws. These are things that are basically obvious and are part of many human traditions. Acknowledge that God is real and don’t curse Him. Don’t murder. Don’t eat the limb of a living animal. Don’t steal. Channel human sexuality into building a family. Establish courts of law and justice.
Evil has always existed, in Torah Egypt and Amalek are embodiments of this. In the modern world, our enemies are the Nazis. But their ideology is as ancient as humanity itself. Eugenics. In Egypt, the Israelites were less than the Egyptians and Pharaoh targeted the male Israelite babies in one of the oldest recordings of eugenics. Ancient Greece also had the idea of eugenics as part of how they did things. The Hellenistic worldview is one that is diametrically opposed to the Jewish worldview. As is the Roman. All of which lead us to the modern world and the Nazis. This is just the very broad picture, since I’m trying not to write a small novel.
What do Egypt, Greece and Rome all have in common? The idea that the pharoah/king/cesear is divine, either a son of their gods or actually a god himself. Contrast with Judaism, where God has no form, incarnation, etc. Just one God, without partner or equal and a very specific message to humanity on all levels of morality. This conflict between the Greco-Roman worldview and Judaic worldview that the Jews repeatedly rebelled against the Roman Empire. So many times that Rome renamed Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina and historic Israel as Syria Palestina. The rulers of different European countries took on similar roles, as divine/descended from gods. All to keep control.
In the Middle East, the British and French partitioned it with the British Mandate of Palestine including historic Israel. After World War 1, the British Foreign Secretary Balfour made the Balfour Declaration in the UK’s parliament stating that a national home for the Jewish people should be created. This was realized after World War 2, when the eugenists failed in their attempts to exterminate everyone they considered as a subhuman undesirable. The Eugenists always work with proxies, and Zionism is their proxy. Weaponizing the Jewish longing to return to their ancestral homeland, brainwashing them to believe that all zionism means is the Jewish people should have their own country, and turning them into foot soldiers in the seemingly endless proxy wars in the Middle East.
There are of course also Nazi proxies among the Muslims too. Everywhere in the Middle East where there is a “forever war”, the Nazis are backing as many sides of it as possible. To confuse matters, there are people who don’t see this distinction and of course there are the Jews who don’t actually understand that the purpose of Zionism is just to make them useful idiots for the Nazis. Just as Reform Judaism is another Nazi tool to divorce Jews from everything it actually means to be Jewish.
I have not had a chance to research this last bit, and I mean absolutely no disrespect to any Christian for this. It is just where my studies have led me thus far. To the Priory of Sion as a probable creator of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion/Sion. To the involvement of the Templars as bankers and their control of the ancient world. Their involvement and connection to the founding of Switzerland and the roots of Nazi ideology in that country. The place of the Catholic Church as well and the rather pro-Roman slant of the New Testament.
Zionism is nationalism, but in a way nationalism from within but also from the outside too. It has become something that is antithetical to the Jewish longing to return to their ancestral homeland. Just look at the modern state of Israel. No constitution. Not governed by Torah. A socialist country with a British style government. Hmmm….nationalist and socialist. What does that remind me of? Oh, right. Nazis. Zionism is just a Nazi proxy. Psychopathic. Debased. Completely antithetical to actual Torah Judaism. In violation of every single one of the Ten Commandments.
This is the battle all humans are in. Good vs Evil. Human vs Anti-Human. Love your neighbor as yourself. Help others, especially the most vulnerable. Live according to a basic code of morality.
In Judaism, both Jews and non-Jews are equal.
What a load of utter nonsense! Do you realize how ignorant that kind of statement makes you look????
Unreal
Sigh, rolleyes.
@ sharktopus
Thank you so much for educating humble people like myself.
1) Where does Jesus come into this and why is the Messiah called jesus if the letter J was only Invented 500 yrs after Christ was born?
2) What’s your take on can we who hold the Faith defend ourselves as in an evil enemy of the people whom intends genociding most of us?
We hear to wear God’s Armour and the sword is his Commandments /laws, also in them are I shall not kill. But is it a sin to lift the sword to kill if its to protect humanity… your children / family from certain death?
Please reply as many who hold the Faith will be confused and I for one will be grateful to hear such a clued up man of God’s teachings
Really, I thought that after hundreds of years with the church slaving, manipulating and of course in some cases helping people, we would be discussing in this world a little bit more “Espirituality”, instead of religion. It is to me tremendous disappointing to see the human being fighting and dividing “in God’s name”. Jesus Christ whatever the name the people give, is probably sad and disappointed with us.
Just keep telling the Truth, Saker, and do consider that most here wouldn’t mind if you delete the comments of those who lie.
It’s your blog, after all. You can keep it as clean as you wish.
And yes, I know you want to be fair to those who might disagree with you. But there is a difference between mere disagreement (which is fine) and outright false accusations againt your (and the blog’s) character.
Hopefully the false accusers will someday repent.
But if not, God will deal with them. So we shouldn’t burden ourselves further trying to refute their false accusations, especially if we can just delete their commentary instead.
“The truth is this: the IQ Bell Curve has two halves, and it is impossible to totally eliminate all those who stand squarely and proudly on the left side of this curve. ”
Unfortunately, its the center and slightly right side of center where the problem lies – low intellect lives on instinct, they have trouble comprehending complexity but can see things as they really are on an animal level. The high intellect seeks truth no matter the consequences or obstacles, they see through things to the core without worrying about what others think or whats “right”.
The midwits (those of average or slightly above average intellect), however, are motivated entirely by social acceptance. They desire to be seen as smart and truth seeking without actually being so, lacking any motivation deeper than being part of the majority, and making sure others know about it. They can understand ideas but are not intelligent enough to have them themselves, and are usually “educated” but through institutional indoctrination rather than self questing and a burning interest to learn – their path is chosen to advance social standing first and foremost rather than to increase knowledge. Due to this they are highly susceptible to appeals to authority – they desperately want to be respected for their own accomplishments so they will automatically offer the same to anyone who presents similar or higher degrees in a field outside their own with zero regard for the reasons behind such declarations. They will also quickly reject opposing views on the same criteria, questioning the credentials of the messenger as though that dictates the authenticity of the message… just look at how easily the media can trick them into injecting untested medicines or buying expensive electric cars, or even believing that Russians are shelling themselves in a nuclear power plant… as long as an “expert” they accept says something, it should be correct. And if more experts in other fields concur, it must be the truth! Jump on board! Change that social media avatar! Demand without fear of being wrong, because its the consensus! The whole gamut of logical fallacies are also common in the midwits arsenal of arguments, with the strawman being the favorite. Very easy to spot.
The higher and lower intellects are actually quite comfortable with each other, they respect their differences – the lower can see the highers lack of pretense and strength of thought, and the higher respects the lowers ability to navigate and thrive in adversity.
Midwits, though, look down on the lower intellect with contempt and avoid higher intellect from feelings of inferiority. Midwits only feel comfortable among fellow midwits.
quest to find a ‘single cause’, really may not be that complicated. After all, all major religions have texts that lay it all out, with minor differences… the ‘father of lies’ has been hard at work. He is your ‘single cause’.
The comment the Saker posted as an example is the typical fair of the American far-right, amongst whom, their intelligentsia – if it can be called that – are absolutely convinced that the sole problem of the United States, & therefore the world, is the “Jewish problem”, as they define it. As far as they are concerned, the US was more or less on the right track up until the US Civil War, & the turn of the 20th century, the Fed Reserve Act, & the final takeover when – according to them – the “good guys” lost WW2, meaning Hitler & the Nazis. Among their number, you will be able to read quite eloquent essays about how, had Hitler won, the world would be a different, much better place. Now, the insanity of this point of view, is that many of these far-right personalities express admiration for contemporary Russia & Vladimir Putin. They say that Putin is fighting for the white Christian race, like Hitler was. I mean, when I write it like this it comes across as obviously stupid, but if you read their material (I’m not going to reference it, people who know, know exactly who I am talking about), they can come across as semi-reasonable. Meaning a person who doesn’t know any better can quite easily come under their influence. If you were to tell them that Hitler/Nazis were cultivated, like the Bolsheviks, & supported by Jewish capital on Wall St, they will call you a shill. If you point out, that Hitler/Nazis had no interest in actually going after the centres of Jewish power, Jewish capital, in the City of London & New York, but assisted the Zionist cause by forcing Eastern European Jews to flee to Palestine – the US would not allow Jewish refugees to be admitted to the US, in order to direct them to Palestine, so as to form Israel. If you are to point out to these far-right so-called American “patriots” that their love of Hiter/Nazis is misplaced, because Hitler/Nazis legacy was to set one Christian civilization against another – Germany against Russia – under the pretence of anti-communism but in actual fact attempting genocide & colonisation….well, you will just be called a Jewish shill. Like the Saker there, a Jewish shill, no less. It is absolutely nuts, & I wouldn’t mention it if it wasn’t for the fact that these people do have a following, some of them are directly connected to people like Nick Furentes, & they spout love for Hitler & love for Putin/Russia in the same breath. It is quite something. Something utterly mad, but appealing to certain population concentrations. As the US, & the west, decline into the abyss, these voices will likely become more influential, not less. That is what needs to be called out, so – one should discuss the “Jewish” issue openly, as Saker/Andrei says, & a good start would be to make a distinction between organised Jewry, or Jewish finance capital, & the remainder of the Jewish population, who have often fallen victim to the schemes of their own so-called “elite”, the Jews of eastern Europe being a prime example.
Bingo, I learned much of the thinking you mention in the dissertation of Mahmoud Abbas’ book “The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism”.

“Reject all forms of racism”? Does that mean we have to be politically correct and pretend all races are equal, or are you talking about not treating someone badly simply because of their race? I have no problem with the latter, of course.
All races are equal, about 1-2% rule over them, while the 98% squabble over leftover scraps and who’s to blame for it.
Removed. Mod.
@ Saker
Whoever sent that comment is neither stupid nor a Jew hater, he/she is a venomous troll.
Trolls are usually running an errand, they use insults to elicit emotionally-driven responses in a preset direction.
If (big IF) by any chance the Mods let that into your blog (and that is their hope and their intention), it would be a double wham, they would smear the blog as anti-Semitic, and you personally as a Jew hater.
The “God fearing man” closing line down from “you got a Jew problem of some sort,” was a “left hook/right hook” you evaded by addressing it, and it was below the belt, taunting your Christian faith, in contradiction to the “Godless Jews.”
Venomous, vile, and vicious, to say the least.

PS: May Allah (SWT) protect you from such venomous snakes.
Even jews themselves cant agree on what it means to be a jew. Terminological homonymity obfuscates the inifinity of tribes and ideoogies. In the end, you know people “by their fruits,” not their nomenclature.
History is equally obfuscated by nomenclature. One can read a “History of the Jews” or a “history of communism,” and never realize that the peoples and ideologies described therein constitute no monolithic group or view. Only vedanta and Buddhism have managed to break out of this western obsession with names and forms.
“Even jews themselves cant agree on what it means to be a jew.”
Of course not, because they are not an ethnic/racial group, they belong to a sect claiming to be a religion, i.e. Judaism, but ethnically/racially they are the same as the societies they lived in. Persian Jews are/were Persians, Yemeni Jews were Yemeni, or southern Arabic, while European Ashkenazi Jews are/were European – & this is obvious from their appearance. There is all kinds of nonsense claiming that DNA testing demonstrates a common Middle Eastern link, this is total BS.
No, I used it as a metaphor
just do not acknowledge, rubber these moron out.
i’m full of rage but it ain’t at no saxon, dragoon-redcoat, german, raghead, gook etc et al (indulge the old speak please, you know what i mean : ) ) i rage at those who contrive, deprive, enslave and adversely engage US ALL in this realm. they are legion, and of many peoples….
so just ignore the jew taunt, .. so obvious.
jewry is out, lol jury is out on dem hebrew types… all about the Talmuddic view is it not? there are other hebrews too. ??
that is not condoning yon trash mouth Andrei, and appreciate and endorse your sentiment.
but really, just take a blind eye to it.
i reckon most of these are just traps to entrap you in ADL land or some version..
be careful, Zelensky will announce a(n) UKR adl soon!!

What exactly is wrong with racism? Preserving your own race is a good thing. And it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that all races are equal. I normally hear the ‘racism’ accusation coming woke lefties who want to destroy and disenfranchise my people. The term itself only originated in the 20th century.
If you have to ask . . . . . .
Your words are well noted.
Full agreement from my side!
Maybe it’s a good idea to let these comments be published regularly to show what morons we are dealing with!
In my opinion and based on my experiences in life, The comment that Saker makes an example is of the art of poisoning the well. The author doesn’t hold value to any of the statements made. Rather it is to place a poison among the group to point towards as an example then later say, “see they are anti-semites”. They aren’t total morons for many will fall for this lie. It is rather a tool to engage the cognitive dissonance (two contrary held deep beliefs) that for most people just shuts thinking capacity down.
why would a person who associates as jewish post anti-semetic remarks? some simple contrarian idea as this can get people to stop thinking. For many can’t come to see that to disparage oneself places them in the sympathy of others as we naturally as humans empathize with the underdogs or downtrodden (at least the good-natured souls do). Second it sows division, the well most-known tool of the devil.
These types of comments are worth pointing out for their deceptive practices out of which to make an example so that we can escape the snare set before us. But such should not be left without warning.
Your comments are very well spoken. I, for one, greatly appreciate your website.
“We are, after all, all sons of Adam.”
Now I did smile a little at that…
Just my observation, without all the numbers. Jewish folk are generally overrepresented in the political organisations/parties of most Western countries. The vast majority of them despise Russia. Ordinary Jewish folk, I’m not aware of their feelings toward Russia. Why do they despise Russia . . . . vested interests, like the Anglo-Liberal-Conservative? How’s that Ukrainian land investment working out for ya’ll?
Jews have come a long way since the signing of the Bretton Woods 1944 Conference. The fact is that the original venue in the US for the conference had to be changed as Jews, like Blacks and Chinese were persona non grata there. Incidentally, the heads of the American delegation, the Treasury & Another Secretary (from memory ) were Jewish.
As racism goes only 4 of the 44 countries represented were African. Well, western satellites; namely Egypt under the British jack-boot, Ethiopia under Italy’s, Liberia under America’s (who loved their rubber plantations and built roads accordingly to ship it ) and South Africa (say no more!).
The signing of this Agreement sucked all our worldly goods into the hands of a few families and cartels. Looks like Russia who did attend are finally righting the wrongs, putting structures in place, for a more equitable distribution of wealth and hence, the vile racism directed at them from those who have ruled roost over us.
Do you have any idea how many Jewish live in Russia.
Have you any idea of the number of Russian Jews killed by Nazis.
Do you have any idea how many Russian Jews were murdered in Ukraine.
By Ukrainians and Bandera’s Waffen SS unit….?
Do you know how many political groups today on Ukraine a totally anti-semite….
(Removed insult that violates the blog rules,MOD)
I do:
1.Around 170,000 live in Russia. With maybe a half million more intermarried or of some Jewish background.
2.Around two million were killed.
3. The majority of the killed in Ukraine.
4.Probably the majority were killed with the “involvement” of Ukrainians. Many of them Bandera followers. In most if not all the killings in Ukraine had local helpers. sometimes they did the killing. At other times they had lessor roles.But they were involved in the deaths.
5.The irony is that Jewish elements in Bandrerastan today help fund the very descendants of the political groupings that killed their own co-religionists during WWII. Many far-right political groups in Ukraine (maybe all of them) have an anti-Semite component.
Dear friends,
when it comes to Judaism, we have a big definition problem.
There is no jewish ethnicity, no Jewish folk. Shlomo Sand has described this very well.
There is only one jewish religion. I am a Jew if I believe in the jewish religion and that means living and acting according to the rules of the Torah. The Talmud is only an discussion paper.
So I am a Jew only if I believe in the Jewish faith and live according to it. And if I do not follow the Jewish faith, then I am not a Jew.
All this nonsense that people call themselves Jews or are called so by others without being Jewish believers must finally disappear.
There is an important principle in the Jewish culture as in many other cultures:
Behave toward your neighbor as you would want him to behave toward you. Immanuel Kant developed his categorical imperative on this principle.
We find this principle in all ancient cultures, but not in our new, present-day cultures in general. Even Roman Christianity, contrary to Orthodox Christianity, has turned away from it.
With kind regards to all, willi

Please add this quote from the lower link I’ve sent you, from the author of ” The Hidden History of…”
“Recent peer-reviewed Johns Hopkins genetic research by a respected Judaic MD shows that 97.5% of Judaics living in Israel have absolutely no ancient Hebrew DNA, are therefore not Semites, and have no ancient blood ties to the land of Palestine at all. “
The Saker said,
“we reject all forms of racism because we believe in our common humanity.”
This position is admirable and essential for peace among nations but Talmudic teachings do not accept it.
Wow… ! How very sad. Sorry you have to deal with such ignorant vitriol. Haters will hate. It’s all they know how. Shallow people get angry when they can’t express ignorant bigotry or run out of canned neocon TuckerCalrson-esque responses when debated. It’s truly a shame, because you have SUCH an informative site…they would learn a lot more if they were to just read and absorb, then reflect…without inserting poisonous bigotry. Especially when cloaked under the auspices of some God, somewhere, as some truculent justification. I see too much of that. Small Minds relying on some confirmation bias…. getting angry.
Keep up the good work Andrei.
