I have a Jewish relative who likes to point out that you would not be able get a job with the city of Chicago for a long time unless you were Irish. The Irish had the political organization and numbers in big cities to favor their own.

Yes, Jews tended and still do likely tend to favor other Jews for the same reason. Having a common origin makes you more likely to feel affinity with someone.

But the history of America has been a gradual breakdown of strict ethnic divisions, at least among white people.

Some people complain it's ONLY among white people.

If white people do this today, it's "racism". You're in Silly Con Valley like me - have YOU ever seen racism? I have. I've seen it among Chinese and Indians but not among whites. I know a group within a company that is headed by an Indian that ONLY hires Indians, not sure if he limits it to a particular caste. One engineer sued at Cisco for discrimination because his boss was only promoting people within HIS caste.

To me, this is 3rd world bullshit and is fodder for "this group of people, they're backward" and I would argue in those instances - they ARE backward.

It doesn't require telepathic collusion. It requires shared goals at the expense of all other groups. For example, a Jew going before a Jewish judge might get favorable treatment. It would just require "an understanding".


Well, the Jewish Judge (and Jewish Prosecutor) gave the Rosenbergs the death penalty and the key evidence against them was sniffed out by McCarthy's "Lapdog", a gay lawyer and later Trump patron named Roy Cohn. Ethnic connections, sure, but they can only be pushed so far and interests don't always align.

A group famous for tax farming is never going to be liked, even if the vast majority were impoverished rag dealers, peddlers, or smelly chicken pluckers. Nobody likes the guy who fronted the tax money and has to make it up and then some, with half a dozen Kokhol Cossacks in tow with quarterstaffs to make sure every window and cow gets counted.

Then there's the one-worlder Esperanto speaker ("To Soar") who inventoried Jewish property during WW2 and seeks to impose Marcuse on us all.

Going back to the Roy Cohn, there is definitely a radical NY wealth ring, heavily but not wholly Jewish, that LOATHES Cohn for his McCarthy Service and his later extended circle and support of Trump, Guiliani, etc. There's a long ass, convoluted story of the back and forth between a segment of the NY Radical Elite and Cohn/Trump/Guiliani that should be a book. I suspect this group is the one that dethroned the Cuomos and installed DeBlasio, Hochul, and Adams, I have a theory on the Reprobate (in the original theological sense, backsliders) WASP/Radical Jew Technocrat Oligarch alliance that explains the SDS, Weathermen, Anti-50s propaganda, etc. etc. etc. that needs fleshing out.

The Cuomo thing is another tale where we'll find a bunch of shit out about much later. You can't remove THE political family in New York with massive patronage tentacles for over half a century without a serious and well funded and powerful force. What did the Cuomos do or not do?

Truth be told, I'm Irish, Welch, English, German, and Polish - I've probably have some Jewish ancestry in me as well. It's not important for me to know.


I'm part Ashkenazi, part Sephardic, since about 1600s in the USA (long before the early 20th East European Jew wave), my other half is Norwegian, Irish, and Prussian/Huguenot exiles.

But all that aside, I'm 100% American, have always loved the Founding Fathers and the Scots-English Enlightenment, and committed to those principles. I'm thankful AF for my experiences and education as a kid that made me appreciate that rather than turning into a hater of self-and-society. Absolute Monarchists and Communists can equally FOAD.

I'll give you that, although I didn't know that particular history for the Rosenbergs. Junteenth is the day of their execution. I did know something (rumors..) about Roy Cohn.

I think really it's culture that binds people far beyond race, but religion is part of culture as well. I really hate this idea that the US is "multi-cultural" - it's just to divide us. I can see why a single religion was and sometimes still is imposed on people.

I would argue that the current incarnation of "the left" are extremely racist and work like bastards to create conflict and problems between people.

I can appreciate Malcolm X's (one time) belief that maybe self segregation would be preferable, so long as each group controlled the policies within their community, although I can also appreciate THIS could lead to inevitable conflict. It's just a mess we started to divided up as races like 100,000 years ago.

Disney’s CEO took a toxic political positions that hurt Disney’s business.

Normal capitalism: his top 3 shareholders would tell him to knock it off.

Capitalism today: BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard tell him to keep at it in the name of “ESG” & “DEI.”

That’s the problem.

I feel the same way. I'm happy to learn about my ancestry and proud of it, but only America is my country.

Speaking of multi-cultural, I see a lot of Alt Right and Bitchuters waxing poetic about despotism, paternal autocracy, or outright absolute Monarchism, as well as blasting Anglo-Saxon/British history and mythos. Torba Fanboi types.

The Founding Fathers considered themselves to be mere Englishmen who were simply taking their natural rights back from a Crown and Parliament that violated it, and of course the US and the Town Hall system of Representative Government bounded by God-Given Natural Rights was initiated by the most radical Protestant Reformationists in existence.

The idea that we should have a Monarch that rules by Fiat backed by a State Inerrant Church and other ultra Traditional Central/Eastern European type ideas is almost exactly the opposite of Americanism. Only Communism could be further away, and really, when America was founded, the opponent was the Absolute Monarchy with an Enforced State Religion. There's a reason the Colonialists were called Separatists and Dissenters, be they Baptist or Reformed or Congregationalist or Presbyterian, and their biggest beef was the mandatory tithe, and they would be even more damned if they had to tithe to Rome instead of not-Protestant-enough Anglicanism to pay to (hence "Puritan" - the Anglican church was not Reformed enough).

"Better a 100 churches with their own error, than one universal church with 100 errors" - Congregationalist 17th Century Saying. And the thinking of the Founders when it came to the 1st Amendment given their disappointing experience with Anglicanism and their absolute terror over Saint Barts day and Continental Absolute Monarchy.

The Church also being a stand-in for lifestyle/philosophical ideas.

But I see Fake MAGA making the case for 18th Century Absolute Monarchies, makes me barf.

An Official Kultur is being imposed from the top down inorganically and dissent from it is being punished, it is a different flavor but the same basic idea as having a One State Church. Just in this case it's about Trannies, Masks, PUFA impossible burgers, and other Current Things rather than Grace Vs. Works and suchlike.

Also, I'm POSITIVE that the Agencies are funding/supporting all kinds of whacky shit to further erode trust and belief in the ability to repair Americanism (but this time from the Right, to radicalize them, undermine America, and to justify budgets against "right wing extremism". Many of them are clearly from boiler rooms/chat rooms and are getting paid and foreigners: They can give you a complete rundown of some Eastern European area going back 5 centuries, know many minor actors (on the world stage) from Poland and Ukraine, but have no clue about US History. I suspect many are within a few hundred miles of the Vistula

As a stand in for a universal state Church: "TheScience(tm) is never wrong, though it might change from time to time." This is why even in this forum, we have people who try to defend Masking having a Public Health impact when we have abundant Evidence it was ineffectual.

That's why we need a New Church commission, stat, if the Republicans take back the House.

Another thing to consider is the utter absence of any cleric characters in Movies and TV and other media.

When pondering that at least 1/3 of Americans are Church going and/or Strong believers and more than half are Christians of some kind.

Such characters were routine until the 1970s.

Disney employees speak out: Woke mob has 'hijacked' the company — conservatives, Christians no longer welcome

Hawley to introduce legislation targeting Disney copyright protections


“For years, @Disney has gotten special copyright protections from the federal government — allowing them to charge consumers more. Woke corporations shouldn’t get sweetheart deals. I’ll introduce legislation this week to end their special protections — enough is enough,” the senator wrote.

The Washington Examiner has contacted Hawley’s office for more details about the plan.

The copyright on Disney’s classic Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse, the first iteration of the character, is set to expire at the end of 2023, and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) recently wrote to Disney CEO Bob Chapek telling him that he and some other GOP lawmakers oppose “further extensions applicable” to the company’s copyrights. Banks argued those should become public domain.

Republicans in both Florida and Washington, D.C., have been upset about Disney’s public lobbying against the Florida legislation, which is called the Parental Rights in Education bill but has been branded the “Don't Say Gay” bill by critics. The legislation bans classroom instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity through the third grade.

Disney has successfully lobbied for copyright extensions in the past. Disney pushed for the Copyright Act of 1976 and then worked to get the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 signed into law. Detractors of the latter bill had branded it the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act.”


This is true. Our copyright laws are flagrantly corrupted by endless extensions to protect Disney profits.

It's not just Trannies and LGBTQ+P:


The core of Disney’s racial program is a series of training modules on “antiracism.” In one module, called “Allyship for Race Consciousness,” the company tells employees that they must “take ownership of educating [themselves] about structural anti-Black racism” and that they should “not rely on [their] Black colleagues to educate [them],” because it is “emotionally taxing.” The United States, the document claims, has a “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and white employees, in particular, must “work through feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to be healed.” Disney recommends that employees atone by “challeng[ing] colorblind ideologies and rhetoric” such as “All Lives Matter” and “I don’t see color”; they must “listen with empathy [to] Black colleagues” and must “not question or debate Black colleagues’ lived experience.”

In another module, called “What Can I Do About Racism?,” Disney tells employees that they should reject “equality,” with a focus on “equal treatment and access to opportunities,” and instead strive for “equity,” with a focus on “the equality of outcome.” The training also includes a series of lessons on “implicit biases,” “microaggressions,” and “becoming an antiracist.” The company tells employees that they must “reflect” on America’s “racist infrastructure” and “think carefully about whether or not your wealth, income, treatment by the criminal justice system, employment, access to housing, health care, political power, and education might be different if you were of a different race.”

Keep kids of away from Church too !

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE & STUDENT MINISTRY: High Risk and Low Barriers

It’s easy to understand why offenders seek access to children where the barriers of protection are lowest. Sadly, this is often the Church, which commonly lacks any real understanding of sexual abuse risk. Further, the Church provides an environment offering forgiveness and welcome, saying “Come as you are” and “No perfect people here,” unintentionally creating easy access to children for offenders.

Now who would have imagined such a thing amongst these fine upstanding Sunday Morning Christians when there is Disney for a target


thats fake news, perpetuated by gays who hate church.

Yep. Same people who want their Globalist / Wokist NGOs tax free but tax Churches.

I put all the DooDah day on ignore, it's just left wing drivel. Public School teachers molest and abuse at a higher rate than Clerics, not including the NASB/NEA Sexual Harassment.

Everything is "fake news" that shines a light on the not so good things swept under the rug in religious institutions

Then again anything that does not shine a positive light or spin on what we believe is "fake news" especially if the news is ugly


fake news, just like Russian collusion, iraq wmds, and all other gay bullshit of the left

Like what? Show examples. Nobody likes to be shown to be wrong, but honestly, they secretly like being corrected. Nobody wants to continue to be wrong when they are.

Show examples.

So Disney's new Pixar movie is gay – like, super gay – and people are SHOCKED to find out that Islamic nations don't want to showcase its gayness.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek Gets New Long-Term Contract
https://deadline.com/2022/06/disneys-ceo-bob-chapek-gets-new-long-term-contract-1235053685/

Disney CEO Bob Chapek has gotten a new long-term contract as the board meets this week. Directors voted unanimously to replace his current deal, which expires in February 2023, with a new three-year agreement starting July 1.

“Disney was dealt a tough hand by the pandemic, yet with Bob at the helm, our businesses — from parks to streaming — not only weathered the storm but emerged in a position of strength,” said Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board. “In this important time of growth and transformation, the Board is committed to keeping Disney on the successful path it is on today, and Bob’s leadership is key to achieving that goal. Bob is the right leader at the right time for The Walt Disney Company, and the Board has full confidence in him and his leadership team,” the board said.

...


Why do they keep him? This worries me, because I would think the board would want to reverse away from wokeness. But extending the ceo's contract signifies they like the current path. Maybe the board just stays the course so long as they keep getting to "inspect special backstage footage of disney child stars"

I've had enough with "Lightyears". I wasn't quite prepared to discuss with kids same-sex marriage on that day, but Disney made that choice for me.
Fuck them.
