Wideleft Posted September 1, 2022 Report Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) 48 minutes ago, Tracker said: As has been widely speculated, this is all part of what happens when an empire goes into decline. America has run up quite a karmic debt that must inevitably be repaid. I do not recall that Hitler really blamed the capitalists, though. They were the backbone of his financial support. Unless the capitalists were Jewish, of course. Wealth Confiscation and the Nazi State The Nazis considered German Jews "a foreign race"--but they were also very interested in their wealth. Anti-Semitism had a long history in Europe: it was largely influenced by the Christian belief perpetuated in the Middle Ages that the Jewish people were collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. Persecution of European Jews was widespread during the Crusades, beginning in 1095, when Jewish communities along the Rhine and the Danube were massacred. Due to this discrimination, many Jews adapted by turning to entrepreneurship and some had become quite successful by the twentieth century. Hitler pointed to their wealth in order to pit many economically stressed German citizens against German Jews. This was Hitler's first step in fueling anti-Semitism, long before he made a move against Jewish lives, as Götz Ally explains in his probing and well-researched study of Nazi economic policy, Hitler's Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-nazi-tax-on-jewish-we_b_9385630 Edited September 1, 2022 by Wideleft Mark F and blue_gold_84 1 1
Tracker Posted September 1, 2022 Report Posted September 1, 2022 Ginni Thomas's attempts to influence overturning of election even wider than previously known Ginni Thomas‘ efforts to influence the overturning of the 2020 presidential election are even wider than previously known. Thomas, a far-right activist and lobby who happens to also be the spouse of the most right-wing U.S. Supreme Court justice, not only engaged in a months-long pressure campaign to influence then-Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to help overturn the results of the election, and pressured 29 GOP lawmakers in Arizona to overturn the election, but also pressured lawmakers in another critical battleground state, Wisconsin, to do so as well. The Washington Post Thursday reports “new emails show that Thomas also messaged two Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin: state Sen. Kathy Bernier, then chair of the Senate elections committee, and state Rep. Gary Tauchen. Bernier and Tauchen received the email at 10:47 a.m. on Nov. 9, virtually the same time the Arizona lawmakers received a verbatim copy of the message from Thomas. The Bernier email was obtained by The Post, and the Tauchen email was obtained by the watchdog group Documented and provided to The Post.” The Post published the text of the emails sent by Thomas. “Please stand strong in the face of media and political pressure,” the emails read. The Post notes they were sent “just days after major media organizations called the presidency for Biden.” “Please reflect on the awesome authority granted to you by our Constitution. And then please take action to ensure that a clean slate of Electors is chosen for our state,” they also say. https://www.alternet.org/2022/09/ginni-thomas-attempts-influence-overturn/ JCon 1

Mark F Posted September 1, 2022 Report Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Wideleft said: Christian belief perpetuated in the Middle Ages it is straight from the Gospel of John. which is presented as, the word of Jesus, the lord. Jesus, speaking to the Jews: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." so if you actually believe that Jesus is god, and that those are his words... you will hate Jews, children of the devil. lot of Jew hatred today, is based on that one paragraph.

When you understand that, at a minimum, a third of the current Bible is provably non-original- added well after the death of Yeshua and the apostles, then it becomes clearer that it is not to be accepted as literal word of God.
Tracker Posted September 2, 2022 Report Posted September 2, 2022 Trump Attorney's Eye-Popping Claim On Live TV Sounds Like A Confession An attorney for former President Donald Trump seemed to admit that the highly sensitive documents seized from Mar-a-Lago when the FBI executed a search warrant last month weren’t kept in the most secure of settings. In fact, Alina Habba said on Fox News on Wednesday that the files were kept in an office where Trump “frequently” had guests. Habba took issue with a photo the Justice Department included in its legal brief detailing the reason for the search warrant and what was discovered. That image showed top secret documents and other classified materials, with key information covered up, arranged on the floor:Some of the documents found at Mar-a-Lago. “I do have firsthand knowledge, as you know. I have been down there, I’m down there frequently,” Habba told Sean Hannity. “I have never seen that. I have never, ever seen that. That is not the way his office looks. Anybody that knows President Trump’s office, he has guests frequently there, it’s just a joke.” The documents recovered during the search included highly sensitive materials that should only be kept in a secured facility. While Trump’s team has previously claimed that anything he had at Mar-a-Lago was kept secure, Habba’s admission that these items were actually in a room where he “frequently” had guests was unlikely to help his case. Trump’s attorneys, advisers and insiders have come up with a number of unusual defenses for this stash of sensitive documents.
