Below the General Secretary of the USSR, political authority was held by the Supreme Soviet, a parliament generally portrayed in the West as a rubber-stamp body filled with corrupt, elderly time-servers, who mostly just approved the political decisions made by the figures who quietly pulled their strings.

Well, it could not be simultaneously “a rubber-stamp body� and an “authority�, let alone directly below GS, could it?
Seriously, if you are writing about USSR, read at very least “Inside the Soviet Army� by Viktor Suvorov. It’s in English. He plainly lays out the structure, which necessarily goes to the very top. The hierarchy back from Stalin’s time was always simple: General Secretary > Defense Council (5 members) > Politburo (representatives of the real forces: Party, KGB and Army). That’s it.
Any actual power structure was directly under Politburo, as a part of either Party, KGB or Army.
Any important supplementary administrative structure was directly under Politburo, but outside primary power groups. Such as the Council of Ministers (with a Politburo member as the Chairman).
Anything not inside or directly under this pyramid could only be either a second-rate supplementary administrative structure or decoration.
The Soviet parliament was purely decorative. Which is why an attempt to transfer some actual power to it immediately turned into slapstick comedy.
Imagine what could happen if someone very hastily repurposed a kitchen train cab as a cistern and began to pump water into it. Sure, it does include some containers for cooking and other internal use, but… It’s easy to see how entertainment potential of such a procedure would greatly outstrip its actual usefulness.

But they are so low quality and not even qualified as normal humans anymore. This would be more of a genetic service to them, tbh.

Kissinger is on record claiming the likely demise of the Israeli state more than twenty years ago.

A high percentage of “news” appearing in the Western press were written by CIA operatives who plant them on the internet knowing that unsuspecting news editors will mistake them for legitimate news.

That’s why I’m a Putin fan.

On the verge of being expelled from Palestine, Jews are indeed in a panic since their old homeland, Ukraine was supposed to become New Israel.

Explaining the extraordinary trouble and expense Jews in control of the Western world have gone to prevent the hated Putin from spoiling their plans.

For at least twenty years, Jews have been aware of the fact that they will be unable to remain in Palestine.

The writer presented an excellent picture of the similarities between the collapsing USSR and modern America; especially pointing out their aged senile money grubbing political leaders and their behind the scenes supporters. I do not have a problem with elderly leaders I’m elderly myself (76). I have a problem with senile leaders like Biden and Reagan who were used by their handlers to enrich themselves and put the country in a bad place. Both Reagan and Biden’s policies ushered in huge fiscal deficits and oversaw escalating societal decline.
Thankfully neither the decrepit leaders in Russia nor Ronald Reagan were manipulated into putting the US and world in a WWIV type predicament like Biden is. While Donald Trump is not nearly as feeble as Biden, I feel sorry for Americans who think he is the answer that he can restore the Empire to its former glory or stop its rapid implosion and decline.
The oligarchic techno-fascist Deep State will never allow Trump to “drain the swamp” even if he really wanted, knew how to or thought it was actually possible; Project 2025 aside. The American people know things are bad but we lack the gumption, vision, plan or righteous leadership to turn things around in ways that benefit the greatest number of Americans. The fissions are growing wider and the divide is so intense civil cordial dialogue is virtually impossible. Perhaps things will have to get worse before we snap out of our stupor.

Peace between the US and Cuba would require the US demands for restitution on behalf of United Fruit, etc. It is the US that does not wish good relations with Cuba, more than the other way round.

The destruction of the dollar is the goal. Without it, the planned massive wealth transfer cannot take place. BRICS has the full backing of the Bank of International Settlements. This is the banking cartel playing at the casino, it owns. Either way, it wins.

is it
Biden = Andropov ?
Or
Biden = Chernenko ?

It is neither. The better analogy is that Biden in Czar Nicholas II. He wasn’t senile but he wasn’t very bright. The “neocons” surrounding him duped him into war against Germany, a disaster for Russia and Western civilization.

We’d be a lot better off if he were Brezhnev or Andropov. Collapse, but no war, and no Communist takeover.

If we start a world war, most Americans will refuse to participate – check the latest polls.

Well, before WW1, most Americans wanted to stay out of the war.
Then Bernays started his black magic tricks.

Are Americans wiser today? I have my doubts. They have short memories and so unable to learn from past mistakes.

All it would take is another false flag and Americans would be foaming at the mouth for vengeance.

I hope that the country crumbles. It would be an improvement. Our current social situation is like Hell. If we start a world war, most Americans will refuse to participate – check the latest polls.

Hilary Clinton probably applied ‘Tontine Treatment’, stat. Or maybe ‘blooded’ Chelsea? Feinstein’s drooling necrolepsy was becoming embarrassing. Joe was jealous.

I’ve found, over the years, that the vilest ‘boong’ hating racists are those proposing that the Indigenous exterminated previous migrants to the continent. NO real evidence for the proposition exists, but it serves both as projection of the racists’ own genocidal desires, still as raw as ever, and a justification for that ongoing genocide, most recently seen, as during the Stolen Generations, in forced child removal.
The aim, as that monster, Howard, made plain, is ‘assimilation’ ie cultural genocide, also seen in the attacks on bilingual education and the out-stations movements. ‘Breed the black’ out, as they say, and on the way produce, what, in my opinion, are ‘assimilated’ compradores like Jacinta Price and the unspeakable Warren Mundine.
You are really worse than I initially appreciated. The explosion of race hatred brought on by the referendum was easily predicted, and will be the end of Greasy Albanese, and, I dare say, this country’s good repute. Congratulations!

I am not nearly as well qualified to offer opinions on bilingual education as Ron Unz so I’ll leave the field open to a joust bwtween the two of you. Do you have a prroblem with his successful assault on bilingual education in the US?

Which black fellas? How many waves and how many genocides of earlier arrivals. Actually the wavy haied majority sseem to have been remarkably peaceful towards the fuzzy haired pygmies of the Atherton Tablelands whom they could easily wiped out as they may have done to the megafauna.

I don’t agree. Calling a sub-fascist klepto-kakistocratic oligarchy a ‘liberal democracy’ is code, just as ‘kiddy-fiddler’, as well as being descriptive, means paedophile. ‘Liberal’ means amoral and, at the ruling core, decadent, even diabolical, and ‘democracy’ means anything BUT rule by the people.

And here’s Stoltenberg now with virtual echo of Mearsheimer on relevance of Ukraine to China.

If Ukraine achieves success during the conflict, it will allow the US to concentrate on China, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Not saying it publicly, directly, is why one needs to be alert for clues. He opens his discourse here with the need for US to be able to pivot to the threat of China. Others may listen to this and not hear the imperialist sentiment that I perceive, so you may argue that this is subjective. Some are so enamored with Mearsheimer because of the Israel Lobby book that they think he walks on water, but, having heard prior reference to his feet of clay, I found this analysis bracing, and a little disturbing.

Amazing to see the now over 9,000 comments to this. (Don’t be alarmed by the scruffy intro, the sound is good quality.)

Video Link

My criticism of Mearsheimer is that he refers to the U.S. and other Western nations as “liberal democracies.” That is an anachronism, gone with the wind and 25 cent gasoline. Most Western countries are financial oligarchies, and “liberal” has to be the most nebulous adjective one can imagine. It defies definition. The learned Professor should know better.

Maybe he believes Western culture is superior but it would be out of character and indiscrete for him to say this publicly. He has an international reputation to uphold. You may be taking a leap into the unknown in thinking Mearsheimer wants our culture to prevail. I would not wish our culture on anyone. That would be cruel, and its also unlikely that any other nation could plumb the depths as we have. We deserve to suffer alone or solve our problems.

Thank you for your comment.

[376] is reading between the lines.

Last year Mearsheimer was featured on a zoom by Committee for the Republic. (Ray McGovern was on the same webinar, still feeling for his exact position on the SMO.) I can’t give you the time stamp, but it came across to me that while Mearsheimer opposed violating spheres of influence for purely practical reasons, he subscribed to the superiority of Western culture and especially the US which [I believe he believes] deserves to prevail….and should seek that end.

It is well established that bi-lingual education improves child achievements, including learning the second language. And, as usual, in Australia, as elsewhere in the Anglosphere, whenever a program proves successful in reducing Indigenous inequality, the Right, ie creatures like YOU, and your beloved Liberal Party, AND the so-called ‘Labor’ Party, swiftly move to destroy that success.
It is vital to repress the Indigenous, and disempower them, just as you disempower the poor and welfare recipients, in punitive campaigns like Robodebt. The suicides caused are just icing on the cake.
They aim is cultural genocide through forced neo-assimilation, the Jacinta Price method. Make it impossible to be a blackfella, wipe out their languages and thus their culture, move them off their ancestral lands by denying basic services, and spread the sort of dehumanising hate propaganda that has characterised the NO vermin, and thus FORCE them to assimilate, to become just another group in the ‘useless classes’, their history and culture reduced to crude parodies published by the Murdoch swine.
It is simply the base Rightwing motivation, hatred of others, in action. Race hatred, class hatred, ideological hatred, homophobia, misogyny etc, all find fertile ground on the Right, as the entirely predictable tsunami of race hatred mobilised against the Voice referendum shows, yet again. And, of course, the racists wax outraged when accused of being racists, Austfailia having NO racists whatsoever living there.
We are nearing the end of the colonial experience. The blackfellas kept the place intact for at least sixty thousand years, whereas the Top Level racists have fucked it up right royally in just over two hundred.

Your interpretation of Mearsheimer’s views on China and Russia is inaccurate and more than a little bizarre. You are either uninformed or disingenuous, and you may check either or both boxes.

Realpolitik, in today’s world means that the U.S., China and Russia can peacefully coexist if they recognize the legitimate spheres of influence that each has established. When one Great Power violates another’s sphere, it may be perceived as an existential threat by the victim State, and consequently a “casus belli.”

This is precisely what happened when the American Government decided to bring Ukraine into NATO. The Professor warned against this policy and predicted a war if the Americans went ahead with it. Mearsheimer has never believed or said that “China and Russia must be defeated and broken.” That is nothing more than a bald-faced, unvarnished lie.

Mearsheimer has frequently opposed American foreign policy and is anything but a spokesman for imperialism. He has never arrogantly threatened other nations or advocated for “American Supremacy.” What is your motive and where do you dredge up such garbage?

Thank you.

Thank you [376] for saying what I’d like to have replied if I’d had the energy. It’s what I meant when I said, “Mearsheimer is still an exceptionalist and defender of the American Imperium.”

0Where do you acquire your claimed knowledge of bilingual education so as to be able to judge its efficacy for actually educating children? My young extended family blood relatives include high standard speakers of of 5 languages including one who got her school’s top prize in Indonesian in her second last year. You rather give the game away when all you can say when I support Ron Unz’s antibilingualism and apply it to the poor Aborigines who don’t even have a great written culture to fall back on is that there are countries in which bilingual education is a success.

I can’t think of anyone who does this
better than Mearsheimer

Mearsheimer’s reasoning is a little (or actually a lot) skewed. Not to mention so paranoid as to ironically bring about precisely the outcome he seeks to avoid.

He has, if I recall correctly (and apologies if I am wrong), actually acknowledged that China, for one, has no animosity towards the West, and does not seek to overthrow or bring an end to our, or any, socio-economic system or way of life. They just don’t care about that.

IMHO, the main “existential danger” when it comes to both China and Russia is that they are powerful enough to simply ignore the West’s (to include Japan) “commands” and “decrees” and keep on following their own paths, in the case of China, thus far, without recourse to violence.

That’s VERY bad for the United States (the chief Western empire) on many levels.

1) It sets a bad example for the rest of enslaved, oppressed and coerced humanity. Even the comprador, complicit elites of the non-West, Third World are beginning to resent the G-7. Ominous.

2) It drives home the point that the West’s power has real limits, shattering the myth of invincibility. The emperor may still be clothed, but his coat has holes and is in tatters.

And 3), the independence of China/Russia, inadvertently, coincidentally (not deliberately), presents an alternative, and to many countries, attractive model, all with no real intention of “displacing”, the United States.

The BRICS just want to move forward, regardless of what the West wants. They’re not against us, they mean to simply bypass us. IMO, such is their right as sovereign nations.

In essence, Mearsheimer says China and Russia MUST be defeated and broken not because they have bad intentions, but for the sin of being powerful in their own right independent of the United States.

Put another way: Mearsheimer’s logical framework: “We must make an enemy of China, simply because China is powerful enough to maybe/possibly be an enemy (but hasn’t taken any hostile actions)”.

HUH?!? “Yeah, I should shoot this other guy. Why? Because he’s capable enough that he’s able to . . . . shoot right back”. Sheer grand strategic paranoia, and suicidal.

You see how stupid and insane that sounds? Now apply that reasoning to the present day, real world. “You can exist, as long as we overshadow you. If we don’t overshadow you, YOU ARE A THREAT.”

That’s my main beef with Mearsheimer.

Plus, he speaks with arrogance, and attempts to not-so-subtly intimidate, giving Americans a worse name than we already have. He publicly threatened an Australian audience, in their own country, that they would be made to suffer if they did not get on board the anti-China crusade. Unbelievable.

He calls himself a “realist”, to make his skewed views more palatable and to give them more seeming weight. But he starts with a premise, American Supremacy, then seeks to make that premise look rational.

Not buying it.

The figure is 270000 Sudeten Germans civilian revenge death by the Czech government.

The posters on that bizarre propaganda story absolutely must be operatives for NATO, Ukraine, et al. No way average news consumers and even those who know the recent history of the conflict are putting up demented drivel to that extent. It looks like a parody of propaganda. Yahoo must be owned by Black Rock or Soros.

The U.S. has too often been the uninvited guest at successive disasters, sauntering onto the scene with that nasty little monkey, Israel, perched on shoulder, giving instructions.

Even with Soviet backing, Cuba was hardly more than a nuisance abroad, with their only serious accomplishment being the best domestic medical system in the third world.

The only sensible economic plan for Cuba is to turn the Island into a giant retirement community for Americans, Europeans and wealthy Latinos. That would require moderating their ideology a bit and making peace with the U.S., but the payoff would be loads of hard currency and a higher standard of living.

Cuba was good enough for Hemingway. He loved the Cuban people and their culture, and I doubt that communism has changed the underlying spirit of the country, even after 63 years.

We have to remember, all these 3 countries were poor Third World nations, but when the bar is set as low as untrained local insurgents, then ANY level of military skill, even of Third World levels, will make a difference.

The Cubans couldn’t save their Angolan pals, or the MPLA, or any of their doomed revolutions.

They just kept fighting in other peoples’ countries. Which is why so many other South Americans hated with seething rage, Cubans in general from the years 1960-1990. I don’t know what the status of that currently is, probably died down. But let’s just say there is some hidden subtext with the infamous chainsaw scene in “Scarface.” The Colombians weren’t on board with commie revolutions in their coca-growing “industrial heartland.” Or the Bolivians (Shining Path, Che Guevera).

If you look around right now, in the wake of Afghanistan and the current mess in Ukraine, you may just see that pattern repeating – ideologically driven lost causes at the end of an empire.

The very essence of Realpolitik is to not allow your personal identity or loyalties
to enter into consideration of a matter. I can’t think of anyone who does this
better than Mearsheimer.

Thanks for your comment, and I’ll try to clarify.

In using the phrase “COVID fanatics” my reference was to the U.S. Government representatives, led by Fauci, to conceal the origins of the virus, exaggerate the efficacy of the vaccine and viciously attack and silence all dissenters.

Sachs headed the Lancet Commission’s investigation of COVID.
No assumptions are needed, and I agree that there is no shortage of fanatics, especially those who bleed over into lunatics.

Yet again one is left wondering whether you are deranged, or simply lying. Race hatred is a RELIGION on the Right, as the EVIL campaign of lies, misrepresentation and pure hate targeting the Voice referendum shows yet again, but, of course, when cornered rats like you simply DENY everything. Nothing new. You prove your racist contempt over and over, then insouciantly utter some mendacious banality and expect to get away with it.
Your vicious characterisation of bi-lingual education, a proven success in many countries, as inculcated by ‘unqualified’ (ie Indigenous) teachers is DESPICABLE. It could have been uttered by Pauline Hanson, or printed (and was, repeatedly)in the Murdoch cancer. No doubt you are in celebratory mode, what with the fiftieth anniversary of that great triumph of Western Values, the 1973 coup in Chile, just falling. Open some champers and toast Pinochet, did you?

Why do you mention “COVID fanatics?” Has Sachs opined on Covid, or are you making some sort of assumption? (If so, what, because the fanaticism runs in many directions…)

Not a chance. I keep a low profile, especially in my own hood. And the only slogan apropos of my labellessness is ‘Putin had no Options.’

For all his realpolitik and criticism of NATO expansion, Mearsheimer is still an exceptionalist and defender of the American Imperium. Responsible Statecraft, I fear, is a bit of a limited hangout.

I lack the courage to wear the shirt but I’m looking
forward to your public exhibition, in the hood.

That reminds me, have you seen this T-shirt…

Senile politicians may lose memory but they never forget how to lie and steal.
That must be the default mode.

In a just world Cornel West might have risen from shoeshine boy to super-pimp, with pink Cadillac and the required gaggle of adoring crack-ho’s. But, he decided to be a celebrity professor and Black Panther apologist at Hawvard, and a TV personality.

So far, so good; then came the unforgivable sin, support of the Palestinians, pre-tenure. “Get outta here, Nigga!” And on your way out the door, you will receive a nationally broadcast reminder to pay your taxes and child support. The kid is starting to shave and Mama can’t squeeze a dime out of your worthless black ass.

Cornel may end up as a Trump cellmate while both are Presidential candidates, and that would be another divine comedy. Black Panther Meets Great White Hope. Next time you better play nice with the Jews. Poor Trump, since he was super-nice and still caught a shiv, center-back with a twist.

Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Feinstein and on and on. Seriously, I don’t know if the correct response is to laugh or to cry. Pelosi’s words tells us that she really believes the crap she’s selling. Most likely Nancy also is waiting for the right time to turn the family business over to her daughter.

Someone recently described the US House and Senate as high level taxpayer funded nursing homes. That’s not far from the truth. I don’t see this situation getting better on either side of the aisle, although Democrats have the most work to do.

You are fantasing again. Very few people even on the Right in Queenslandwoild not regard it as demeaning to hate indigenous people though contempt for the drunken wife beaters and killers would be more common. As for BS do you really think bilingual education by unqualified teachers in languages – unlike Latino Spanish whose self interested bilingualists Ron Unz defeated – have too few words to describe the modern world is going to get the kids modern jobs – or any jobs?

BULLSHIT!!!! And you know it. At EVERY opportunity in Australia, the Right, led by your beloved ‘Liberal’ Party, sets out to actively harm the Indigenous.
Every step of Native Title, after Mabo, was viciously opposed, and rolled back wherever possible, as in the infamous Yorta Yorta ‘decision’ where Olney decided that the Indigenous did not exist, for tens of millennia, because they had no written records proving it.
Whenever any Indigenous organisation succeeds, the Right will destroy it, as with ATSIC, first softened up with a slanderous vendetta by your friends at News Corpse. Programs that work, like bilingual education, are relentlessly attacked, and vile, disempowering (the aim at all occasions, because it actively harms the victims and expresses the racist Right’s deep hatred of their victims)impositions like the ‘Intervention’, the product of the poisonous psyche of John Howard, imposed instead.
That is not even to consider the active malice and hatred that makes the Indigenous the most incarcerated group on Earth, including children, many locked up with adults, and in solitary (a fourteen year old!!!) for over two months. And they still refuse to raise the age of criminal responsibility from ten, one of the lowest on Earth.Don’t talk of ‘good faith’ you ass-you wouldn’t know it if it was surgically inserted.

You’re not only saggy, you’re as dumb as a bag of rocks. What happened in the 2020 election is not only not known to a certainty, it is not known, period. You might want to be aware, the science of statistics has ways of analyzing data which are very advanced. Some things happened in the course of the vote counting which were very strange. I’m not schooled in statistics or higher mathematics in general, but I do have a Mensa level IQ easily and I do pay attention.

You are in the grip of one of the most basic fallacies in forensics. You are arguing that because some one particular thing has not been proven true, that therefore there is some other position that is the default and which must be accepted as valid. No so. Just accept the idea that you don’t know and no one else does either. I guarantee you, the world’s intelligence agencies do know, but they ain’t saying.

If you like the outcome that 2020 produced you are allowed to say so. Just don’t slater the forum with your illogic. The absence of proof of fraud is not proof of the absence of fraud. It’s that simple. In no election that close is there proof absolute that only legal ballots were counted. We’re talking about America here, where everything is turned into a Wild West Show.

Toxic chaos is exactly correct. Since I suggested Sachs, I’m happy to see him discussed. I had no reason to believe the thought had even occurred to him, but I hope his ears are burning now. (I bet Ron has his phone number.)

The current field of candidates is dismaying. IDK all what’s involved in launching a campaign, but Sachs is already doing as much as he can (online interviews and print articles) to challenge the neocon war in Ukraine. Perhaps he’d accept some organized support and an additional platform. I can’t imagine he could win the presidency, but he’s certainly more qualified than Cornel West, and he’s not an Israel butt-licker like RFK Jr.

Chaos is also opportunity.

As an addendum to the above exchange with Brosi, there is only a small chance that Sachs would run for President. Should he try, his most virulent opponents would be a bizarre coalition of Jew-haters and those Zionist extremists whose American identity is a mere legalism, a lunch ticket that entitles them to feast on the “golden calf” created by the legacy bumpkins.

Sachs is also a free market advocate with no signs of Woke or other leftist infestations, making him a perfect target for the violent Antifa-like lunatics dwelling deep in the bowels of the Democrat Party. It’s hard to see a pathway for any moderate, rational leader to emerge from the toxic chaos that will continue into the foreseeable future.

Used to be funded by George Soros. Don’t know if it is still the case but they are pretty close to the establishment. Bachevich wrote a quite good book called Age Of Delusions.

Well said, but I think you are dismissive of the now imponderable questions about Sachs.
My view is that he was badly used by the conspiracy of the Western Jewish financiers to
help the cabal of Russian Jews steal the natural resources of Russia after the fall of the
USSR. They were also assisted by non-Jewish financiers, including our English cousins
and operatives, Jew and Gentile within the Clinton Administration.

In his first major venture outside the ivory tower the brilliant but naive professor was
mugged, mauled and rolled by seasoned thieves with a plan. Some thirty years later,
Sachs surely understands that the political game is played without rules. If Sachs
should campaign to be President, his Jewish opponents will be disarmed since their
primary weapon, antisemitism, will be useless.

If analysis articles of this quality were still available in “Newspapers”, the newspaper industry would still be relevant.

If the Voice as part of our Constitution was believed in good faith to be likely to make a great and positive contribution to improving Aboriginal lives it would already be up and running. And a No vote won’t stop it being tried out immediately after the defeat.

Perhaps it had some military relevance, but either the NSA or GCHQ once intercepted a call between Soviet military personnel discussing Gorbachev’s attempt to crack down on excessive alcohol consumption. They were not enthusiastic.

I forgot to congratulate you and your beloved Liberals on the ‘scores’ of suicides that Robodebt caused, imposed as it was with typically vicious sadism, EVEN after it was known to be illegal. I bet that caused a few toasts at the Reptiles Club.
As for the Voice referendum, I told all my naive acquaintances that it was doomed from the start, that you Liberals and your Murdoch and other boong-bashing allies would have a field-day stoking race hatred among the proles, and setting the scene for Greasy Albanese’s demise. All my older and politically aware friends and relatives knew I was correct, although a few feigned enthusiasm so as not to dishearten the children, who have not, yet, learned what ‘Liberals’ truly are.

Top Level, you reach a new low of outright lunacy by blaming Robodebt, ‘Liberal’ Party misanthropy and class hatred in its purest form, on Xi Jinping!!??!!. And you deny the undeniable, yet again, by refusing to acknowledge the deep and indelible stain of race hatred towards the Indigenous that runs through all the reactionary Right in all the Anglosphere settler colonial tyrannies.
And then you appeal, in time honoured fashion, a la Charles Court and Noonkanbah in 1979, on the presence of two individuals, Price and Mundine, who, in my opinion, would best be described as Uncle and Aunty Toms, one, Mundine, in my opinion, the most opportunistic and untrustworthy figure in many a year, and the other, Price, like her mother, in my opinion, the victim of her Svengali-like father.

Lets just call a spade, a spade. Sachs is owned by Judea not only because of Jewish Power, but because he is part of it.

What would it take for Sachs, a Jew, to be a credible voice for US shitizens of European heritage looking for salvation? For me the answer is quite simple: he would have to be brutally honest about Jewish Power. He would have to have the courage and character to name the Jew’s malign influence throughout history.

Jeffery Sachs is not that man.

Besides he has an entire walk-in closet full of Jewish malfeasance skeletons, starting with his role in turning all of Russia’s resources over to a pack of Jewish oligarchs.

Off topic perhaps.

I discovered new to me website today. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/
Short video introducing the Quincy institute of responsible statecraft, the organization behind the publication.

Video Link

John J Mearsheimer is a member so it’s hardly Russian or Chinese propaganda outlet. I have only spent an hour checking it out but was somewhat impressed by few articles.

One example: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/08/31/sarkozy-vilified-for-speaking-uncomfortable-truths-about-ukraine/

Plenty of material for those of us who disagree with the current U.S. foreign policy.

You are right about the noisy crickets, but Sachs’ position as a prominent public figure with potential political ambitions is entirely different from that of Unz and Niceland. As you know, there is a long list of notables who have been disappeared and consigned to oblivion following their valid criticisms of Jewish influence and the slow motion genocide of the Palestinians, the “non-existent nation.”

The most diligent and learned scholar of the Arab-Israeli conflict is Norm Finkelstein. As a reward for his integrity the Zionists have driven him out of academia, causing him to lose five university teaching jobs and exiling him to his NYC apartment.

Having noticed how vengeful Jewish groups are, do you expect anyone with political aspirations to publicly oppose them? Also, take note of the recent Congressional hearing during which the Jews cleverly used a Black Representative as a proxy to attack RFK,Jr. due to his “anti-Semitic” opinions. Political suicide, anyone?

“How many Sudeten German families were killed and how many deported, after the war, by the Czech communists?”

The expulsion of traitors (not all Germans were expelled) was done by bourgeoise leaders before communist victory in 1948. It was a correct decision.

Here’s a serious, no bullshit suggestion.

I’m going by, only as an example, Chinese history.

We just straight up get rid of (destroy, ignore or refuse to support) this current effed-up structure we have. It implodes (softly or violently), we go through an EXTREMELY TERRIBLE few decades, then we start fresh, clean slate, tabula rasa.

Point being, the Chinese have done exactly this process like 20 or more times in the last 5,000 years. They’re still around, still going, and starting to wake up as a people for the 21st (or whatever) time.

Humans can get rid of their nations, governments and systems, take the pain, and come roaring back. IT’S BEEN DONE. It’s happening right now on the other side of the world.

It can happen in America as well, right?

Can anyone imagine the Cubans attempting an African colonial empire?

Cuba sent advisors to Africa from about 1975 to the fall of the Soviet Union (1991). In fact, it was an ideological crusade for them – true believers spreading the revolution, that sort of thing.

That being said, the Cubans were never as tough or battle effective as the North Vietnamese Army, or the North Koreans (who also sent some advisors to Africa).

The NVA (in Vietnam) and Norks weren’t great themselves, but they were solid and could fight somewhat. Vietnamese and North Koreans had high fighting spirit, but mediocre skill. The Cubans were still better than the locals.

We have to remember, all these 3 countries were poor Third World nations, but when the bar is set as low as untrained local insurgents, then ANY level of military skill, even of Third World levels, will make a difference.

This is not an informed comment, Brosi. The intelligence services don’t need an Unz comment section for anything. The NSA records or listens to-with algorithms to flag and highlight “interesting” words or comments of your emails, telephone conversations, messages, etc. Think of it as an extension of facial recognition software on everybody all the time.

You are way behind the curve, son.

Some of your comments were painfully offensive, and I demand a retraction.
Jews have always advocated separation of Church and State in nations where
they have been a minority, so “chiseling tax dollars” to build a synagogue
would be inconsistent and downright hypocritical.

We English have never sought state funding to build our pubs and saloons,
which are our temples, with the barfly being our high priest, ably assisted by
lovely coquettes.

It’s OK. I understand now.

Many commenters have misunderstood he is aiming for the main steam and harassed him for nativity in his early years. Boiling living frogs you start using cold water so they don’t get spooked and jump out of the pot.

I suppose ‘nativity’ was a typo, and you really meant ‘naïvete’ (and ‘mainstream’ instead of ‘main steam’). Even supposing that’s the case, I don’t quite understand what you are trying to convey in those two sentences. You surely don’t mean that Ron Unz lied about his earlier acceptance of official narratives, do you?

Things have of course changed since the days of Hamer Liberals and it shocks me that women who were once given a status in the Party which helped to give us the Menzies and Hamer years have felt themselves mistreated. I don’t think the cruse idiocy of Eric Abetz qualifies to brand Libs as sinophobic. Robobebt was incompetence even if infected a little by XiJin Peng’s “social welfare makes prople lazy” attitude. Class hatred, race hatred abd boong bsshing is observable nonsense. Even Julian Leeser’s sipport for the Voice (as one might expect of a Jew) is accepted and the case against it has been led by well know articulate Aborigines like Jacinta Pryce and Warren Mundine. As a masssive tree planter and preserver of native grasses I simply don’t understand your “Green bashing”.

The ADL must be vigilant to maintain its self-designated role as “Defender of the Faith,” borrowing from the British Monarch. In the Iceland case their aim was not simply to make sure that Jews had “no skin in the game,” but also to show off their reach, even to the ends of the earth. Donors were impressed? All ten Jews in Iceland were embarrassed.

Returning to your previous post, Professor Sachs does have a talent for attracting snipes from all directions, but bear in mind the simple truth that no decent man wants to alienate family, friends and colleagues. But, someone with expertise in a particular area does have a social responsibility to publicly express his opinions, even if he anticipates harsh criticism or ridicule from people he respects.

Limited or unlimited hangout, Sachs could never appease the genomic Jew-haters, the rabid Muslim-hating Israeli settlers on the West Bank, the warmongers in the U.S. Government or the COVID fanatics led by the charismatic Dr. Fauci.

I followed the Jewish circumcision assault on Iceland closely in 2018 (IIRC). A guy named Curse had a few long threads on Twitter about it. I managed to find one of them in thethreaderapp, unfortunately all the images and links to articles have been stripped out.

https://staging.threadreaderapp.com/thread/1010591892940120065.html

A short excerpt:

“9. So after the circumcision bill was presented in February, Chabad Rabbi Avi Feldman, 27, of Brooklyn, NY, moved to Iceland with his daughters and wife “to bring awareness of the relevance and importance of brit milah (circumcision).”

10. Rabbi Feldman’s Judaic rituals quickly proved incongruent with Icelandic lifestyle when the Rabbi was forced to explain to an Icelander why he couldn’t eat from utensils that were touched by a goy (goyim are considered goats per the Talmud & anything goyim touch is un-kosher)

11. Mike Levin, a Jew who moved to Iceland from Chicago, hopes the presence of Feldman, Iceland’s first Rabbi, will encourage state funding for Jewish causes within Iceland. That’s right, chiseling tax dollars from native Icelanders to fund Jewry like their new proposed Synogogue

12. So how did Jews pressure Iceland to scrap the bill that would ban circumcision? Per Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt:
a) pressure from Jewish groups
b) build coalitions with other faith groups
c) “appeal” to international economic & political interests

But it was mostly (c)��

13. Pressure for scrapping the bill came by way of World Jewish Congress, Agudath Israel of America, the National Coalition Supporting Eurasian Jewry, & Orthodox Union – the org that charges US food manufacturers to certify half of all of US food products as fit for Jews (kosher)

14. The pressure came in the form of protests and a conference in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city, where Rabbis flew in from parts of Europe to speak with members of parliament (MPs) in Iceland.

15. The second approach Jews used to thwart the bill was building coalitions with Muslim & Catholic groups like the Catholic Church of the EU, Islamic Cultural Center of Iceland, and the Catholic Church of Iceland. Catholics only represent 4% of Iceland’s population, Muslims 0.3%

16. But what was most effective in scrapping the bill was Orthodox Union enlisting the help of a Jew who sits in US Congress – Eliot Engel of N.Y. – to personally pen a letter of warning to Iceland’s Ambassador, alluding to the bill jeopardizing Iceland’s relationship with the US ”

Niceland has written a very “nice” explanation for why Sachs and Hersch and yourself avoid “lightning rod” issues about Jewish Power.

The problem here is that you have confirmed that there is so much truth in these issues that they cannot be touched, yet you close up your comment by stating:

often provoke ridicule from some of the more conspiratorial commenters

You have contradicted yourself. Lying power Jews like Greenblatt and Soros have deliberately warped and perverted our language in malicious ways and turned it into a weapon that they wield against us. The word “conspiracy” would be a case in point.

A “conspiracy” has to occur behind a veil of secrecy, otherwise it will be exposed and fall within the group that Niceland describes as:

“My fellow countrymen would put me into the flat-earth camp right away and pay zero attention to my ramblings.”

Clearly big Tech and big Media work hand in hand to provide that veil of secrecy and to wield that bludgeon of censorship. Just be reviewing what items are taboo, such as the holofraud, we can be certain that it is Jews who are the ones who are “conspiring”.

So at a minimum, if Sachs was just trying to gradually open the Overton window, he would now be railing on about what the ADL is doing to Musk and “X”. So far all I hear is crickets.

I will add the you, Mr. Unz, have run a series of articles about the struggle between the ADL and “X”. For that I am grateful and I give you my respect. I do not think the same applies to Jeffery Sachs.

Nancy Pelosi 82 years old is the new leader of the Gerontology Crew:

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,â€� Pelosi said on social media on Friday. “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection – and respectfully ask for your vote.â€�

I will vote for her after she consumes a ton of brown matter from the Market Street sidewalks.

Those refugees had to escape “illegally” because the communist tyranny lock them like prisoners without freedom of travel. You are wrong about the education…the “free” education had to be pay back, without that they could not visit their families. No lies.

“There was no tyranny, just a restored order.”
How many Sudeten German families were killed and how many deported, after the war, by the Czech communists? Restored order, my foot.

“…to liberate all of its land – Crimea included.” -, this is a highly metaphysical contemplation by an illiterate and anonymous [366]

He believes in the communist diktat from 1954 which assigned Crimea to Ukrainian province in the USSR and rejects the peoples referendum from 2014 to return the Russian land of Crimea and Donbas from corrupted Ukraine to Russia.

«Couldn’t such a diverse block, reliant on key members bearing potential differences, e.g. China and India, be unwieldly and thereby weaker than its size would indicate?»

There are currently a lot of people who hallucinate about the “BRICS” and “multipolarity”, as if the “BRICS” were anything more than a dinner club/talking shop, certainly not a trading block like the EU or a military alliance like NATO or even a fake collective security organisation like the United Nations.

There is no tendency to multipolarity: the USA plan is transparently to bring back the Cold War arrangement of bipolarity, where the USA dominate the much bigger “first world”, the PRC (rather than the USSR as in past) dominates a much smaller “second world”, and the “third world” pretends to be an “unaligned movement” but is really made of USA protectorates that the USA don’t care much about.

Things will be quite different when the BRICS Navy controls many important sea lanes, or the BRICS political police can regime change as many governments as the CIA, etc., but that is quite far away.

It is just USA against the PRC, with most governments being USA vassals or leaning USA (except RF, Korea-north, Iran ,…) but eager to get some payola from the PRC too if they can get away with it.

«Hitler lamented the loss of millions of Germans in the past due to emigration (such as to the US) and apparently felt that having more living space for Germany would solve this problem.»

Viciously planned and executed the “eastern lebensraum” idea had a very rational basis and was not about emigration: in WW1 the german empire was under siege and starved into surrender by the UK-USA blockade, because it did not have enough land to be self-sufficient in cereals (and oil at the time mattered a lot less). The “lebensraum” idea was simply to have germans conquer so much land to be self-sufficient in cereals.

A previous commenter some time ago pointed out that improvements in the Haber process to make ammonia fertilizer would have allowed the German Empire to become self-sufficient in cereals without any more land, but that requires fuels in which the German Empire would still be dependent on imports and thus be vulnerable to blockades. Currently very few developed countries are self-sufficient in both cereals and fuels,notably the USA and the RF.

«These individuals were protesting an extremely close Presidential election that had obviously been stolen from incumbent Donald Trump»

In the books “Perpetual war for perpetual peace” (2014) and “History of the national security state” (2002) Gore Vidal makes some good arguments that the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen, and also thinks that all subsequent elections have been “managed”. It is pretty strange that few R people point out that in 2020 “amazingly” during an epidemic and a recession Biden got 20% more votes than “President” Rodham-Clinton, and Trump got 18% more than in 2016, and those are just national averages, in some cases votes surged “miraculously” by 60%.

That is just the extension to the federal level of a common practice at the town and country levels, where local political machines have been “managing” elections in many parts of the USA.

One of the fatal issues with USA politics is that federal elections are run by the same local political machines, and eventually they started “managing” federal elections too. The problem is both dire and less important than it seems: it is dire because so many places are heavily D or R that their respective political machines can do whatever they want, and precisely because of those being heavily D or R, under first-past-the-post all they do is to increase their margin of victory. But in those places matters is not whether the R or D win, because that’s known in advance, but which R or D faction prevails over the others for control of the local machine,

Jeff Sachs is an Establishment Jew but a renegade from that “group” in many respects, making him hard to classify, When people label him a “limited hangout” they might consider the difficulties inherent in maintaining such a confusing position.

Juggling a variety of positions to conceal one’s true intent presents an impossible challenge. I doubt that anyone has the emotional and intellectual capacity to conceal the contradictions that level of deceit would entail. Sachs has reportedly received financial support from Soros for his anti-poverty projects, but it seems unlikely that Soros would agree with his positions on Ukraine, China, Covid and financial regulation.

As a general rule it makes sense to assume that a person is sincere until there is solid proof that he’s not.

I don’t comment enough to have reaction buttons. I tend to agree with you on this one. Thanks for the reply.

I come from European roots. I wish Palestinians good luck in their defense against Israel. I sincerely doubt that Palestinians bat an eye to the mass immigration of Arabs and Negroes being forced on Europe. In fact, many Palestinians would gladly escape to Europe if they could and be participants in the Jewish incited invasion, and in this sense are a part of the problem because they are being used by the Jews as bullets against European civilization just like Syrians, Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Moroccans, Sudanese, Nigerians and the entire refuse of the continent of Africa.

So Sachs gets into Locke, and tries to shame Europeans who settled and tamed the US by comparing them to Jews in Palestine. Paint me unimpressed and even more disgusted with the typically Jewish tall tale spinner Sachs. It is just Jewish deflection, because they played a major, if not THE major, role in the mistreatment of the American natives.

Rashid gives credence to the holofraud and implies that Jewish treatment of Palestinians could be justified because of “muh holocaust”. Meanwhile “Professor” Sachs pretends to be ignorant of what Jews did to Palestinians.

I have no idea what ethnic roots you have Robin, but I am beginning to think that you are either some kind of half breed or you are a typical female virtue signaling European.Whatever the case, you seem to be obsessed with the Palestinians yet you turn a cold shoulder to the genocide of Germany and Europe. Both were victims of the Jews.

Wake me up when Sachs covers the Morgentau plan and the firebombing of Germany. Or even the genocide of Russia and Ukraine. In fact, you can wake me up when Khalidi does the same.

Yawn. Wake me up when he gets into the millions of Russians sent to the Gulags and millions of Ukrainians starved to death in the Holodomor that the Judeo-Bolshevics genocided from 1923 until 1991, when Sachs took over the genocide of Russian slavs…

The massacre of Palestinians and the theft of their land is a very limited hangout for communist US Jews opposed to Netanyahu and his Zionist terrorists racial supremacists.

In my mind Sachs is roughly the equivalent to Kissinger (King of the geriatric Jewish super-mensch). Jewish media put them in the spotlight when what they are saying is “good for the Jews”. Otherwise they are kept in the shadows until needed again.

No I haven’t, and I did a quick search and found nothing.

Did Sachs talk about the attempted sinking of the Liberty and the ensuing cover up? ((Wesley Clarks)) 7 countries in 5 years? What about Dimona and the JFK assassination? Perhaps he went into detail about Heavenly Jerusalem? What about the Holohoax, did he mention that even Jews are too ashamed to stick to their own definition of denial of 6 million gassed Jews is “holocaust denial”? 9/11 and the dancing Jews? The terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel?

I am pretty certain that all of the above are a “No”. So tell me, what revelations did Sachs have about Israel?

Hah! Guess what….. (from his website)

America, Human Rights, and Israel’s War on Palestine

Have you heard Sachs speak on US position Vis-à-Vis Israel?

Jeffrey Sachs spends most of the interview discussing events from the fall of the USSR to today without once mentioning, let alone naming, the Jew. Of course this would be expected. We see the same thing happen here on UR whenever Ron Unz talks about Neocons.

Sachs describes how Neocons under Bush pushed Nato east, and Sachs describes how Neocons under Obama pulled off the Maidan “Orange” revolution with McCain and Nuland travelling to Kiev in 2014. But Sachs never explains why it is that these Neocons seem to be able to transmogrify from Democrat to Republican and back again in the world of hyper-partisan US politics and continually stolen and contested elections.

To Sachs, it just one of those unexplainable things hyper-bellicose Jews, who wrap themselves with the US flag but unashamedly put Israeli and Jewish interest above those of the US, can hover above goy politics without ever being named for what they are.

Trump to trump Justin Trudeau in Canada–now that would make great sense !!!

The Rest have FINALLY had enough of Western brutality and arrogance

.

Admirable brevity no doubt but would you be so good as to explain which people of the REST show that fed up attitude and how they show it?

I ask as one conscious of the huge fees paid by parents of millions of students from the REST to attend Western universities as one fact to explain as is also the kind of story recently related in the FT about a Tianmen Square activist now back in Beijing in good standing as a duel citizen who successfully adopted American capitalism.

Yes–it was February 1959–John Diefenbaker ( Prime Minister of Canada) disbanded the Avro Arrow and the 14,000 talents who worked there —with one stroke of his pen. The Avro Arrow could carry nuclear weapons —dispose of it.

Many top talents fired went South and went to work for NASA.

From Hitler’s Second Book:

The gay story is just titillation to distract from (Obama’s) real crimes of Biden.

Table Talk is nothing more than table fraud. See my comment 201 and 203 above. You are merely regurgitating Jewish lies.

The Liberal Party ‘centre-Right’???? The liberal Party of class hatred, union-bashing, wealth transfer to the rich, ‘Robodebt’ savagery, Greenie-bashing, misogyny, groveling to the USA and Israel, racist Sinophobia etc, currently engaged in an ORGY of race hatred and boong-bashing to defeat the Voice referendum-that Liberal Party? That puts ‘the Centre’ somewhere adjacent to Genghis Khan.

I hadn’t considered the expulsion of the Tatars in this light, it makes perfect sense. Clearly the Doctors Plot was an attempt to decapitate Stalin’s Soviet regime and for Khazarians to regain the upper hand that they had lost after Lenin died and Trotsky was banished.

Here is what ((wiki)) [now] says about the Doctors plot:
