Mr Soros

Jamie Kirchick has written a brilliant piece - long and detailed - on Mr Soros here:

POTUS had got into a lot of trouble for remarking that Soros was funding the screaming women who ambushed Senator Flake during the Kavanaugh confirmation hoo-ha.  See the Guardian's entirely predictable report:
 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/28/jeff-flake-elevator-rape-survivors-brett-kavanaugh
Turns out Soros had funded this groupscule - and has poured billions into all the various anti-Republican 'resistance' groups.

Then the British government got it in the neck a couple of weeks ago (as though it is not under enough pressure, but that's another story) when they gave the brilliant, Conservative philosopher, Roger Scruton, an unpaid consultative position on some sort of commission charged with building more beautiful houses (a lost art in the U.K. but that too is another story).  The British left, with the Guardian in full talley-ho chase (Scruton hunts..) licked its lips.  And accused Mr Scruton of antisemitism (as though the British Left cares about Jews - this is what 'weaponising antisemitism' looks like).  A few lines from a long, complex talk were seized as evidence

Mr Scruton is not an antisemite. For once, cowardice did not win the day and Scruton keeps the job - the Left is gunning for him and Mr Scruton stands his ground.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all our American friends.

(Still cannot find one funnier than that one).

Human rights? Here you go.


This is a seriously mind-boggling bit of news:
Mexico and three Central American countries have filed a protest with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights over President Trump’s new asylum policy, arguing their citizens should be allowed to flee their countries to find refuge in the U.S.
Let me see how to translate it to simple Engrish. In effect these four countries are saying: we are shit on human rights, so let somebody else take care of our people... interesting, to say the least.

Cool.

Brainwashing

Everyone is brainwashed. The entire world is brainwashed in some way. Whether you like it or not, you've been brainwashed. It starts the moment you're born, and ends the moment you die. Unless one is very, very good at completely isolating oneself, there's no way to escape it. The entire world is a 24/7/365 effort to keep as many people brainwashed as possible. Madison Avenue and many, many, many other places see to that.
This is the opening paragraph of the article by Benjamin Goldstein.

And, to end on a lighter note, my favorite brainwashing scene ever:

Craig Murray: sharing his dream with you


Craig Murray appeared on these pages several times. No need to rehash the sad story of a man supported here for a while becoming a man obsessed. So this is a short reminder of the latter:
The only potential resolution of the situation in Palestine must involve justice and dignity for all. That solution requires the abolition of apartheid Israel and its replacement by a unitary, democratic state blind to race and religion. That is no more impossible in Palestine than it was in South Africa.
There, there, nothing more to see here, move on, ladies and gentlemen.

Miri Regev and degenerate art

She wasn't any good as IDF Spokeswoman either.
History provides many examples of political leaders’ efforts to censor art and restrict public funding of culture in the name of promoting nationalist ideals and protecting communities from adverse artistic influence. The Jewish people have not come out on the winning side of such efforts.
There isn't much I can add to the above quote from the article by Scott Mortman, the Israeli Chair of the America Israel Cultural Foundation.

When you assign the ministry of culture to a person proud of not ever reading Chekhov and the ministry of justice to a person whose main goal is to limit the power of the High Court of Justice etc etc... the outlook is poor.
