As obtained by The Free Beacon telepathically via the mind of Andrew Stiles:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Eight score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we (metaphorically) stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. …
But 160 years later, I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races. The only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. One hundred and sixty years later, the Person of Color is still languished in the corners of American society and finds herself in exile in her own land. …
To continue to fight—on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, whatever the cost may be—for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Corporation in a period when our entire focus should be on upholding scholarly rigor and confronting hate in all its forms.
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at 1:00 p.m. today.
When I came to power in 2023 my road was clearly mapped out. It had been defined in a struggle, which had put me under an obligation to the Harvard people. The social part of this program meant unifying the Harvard people, overcoming all class and race prejudices, and if necessary, breaking any opposition to this unity. … It was the same in foreign politics. My program was to do away with Versailles. …
When my brief presidency is remembered, I hope it will be seen as a moment of reawakening to the importance of striving to find our common humanity—and of not allowing rancor and vituperation to undermine the vital process of education. I promise to never give you up, to never let you down, to never run around and desert you. To never make you cry, never say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you. After my picture fades, and darkness has turned to gray, watching through windows, you’re wondering if I’m okay. If you’re lost you can look and you will find me, time after time.
Sincerely,
Claudine Gay

"Sunshine is the best disinfectant."-Claudine Gay Replies: @deep anonymous, @Alden
To paraphrase the great Fred Allen: Imitation is the sincerest form of academia.
We all know why she stepped down and it had nothing to do with her shoddy academic career.
However, you'll notice that Gay (unlike Magill BTW) withstood the initial salvos stemming from her response on 10/7 and her Congressional testimony. She even withstood the initial round of plagiarism allegations. The Corporation came out in mid-December and reaffirmed their support for her. So Joo power alone was apparently not enough to dislodge her.
The real credit goes to the anon who sent in the 2nd round of allegations on 1/1. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Generally speaking, the MSM is blaming/giving credit to "conservatives" for dethroning her, not Joos. But for the conspiracy minded, this is surely just Jooish deflection.Replies: @Jenner Ickham Errican, @Santoculto, @Hunsdon

Personally, I happen to find it pretty lame and boring. Jack D--i believe--posted it in a comment yesterday, I read a couple sentences and thought "yawn". Gay is not an interesting person and unlike mocking say Joe Biden utterly unimportant. And now she's done. (I'm a tiny bit surprised Steve bothered with this now.)
The only interesting things about the Gay case:
-- Her utter mediocrity. Harvard--Harvard really, embarrassingly stooped to go black.
-- Reiteration of totem-pole realities. Blacks are at the top of the "oppression" totem pole, but they actually control nothing and have no power. Jews are at the top of the power-pole and--despite the demographic decline Pixo helpfully fleshed out--still control/run the Parasite Party and can make elite institutions snap to.
-- Is this an indication that we've past peak black--the utter insanity of the past few years? I kind of think so, but nothing is for certain. Ultimately the Asian influx and over Latinization of the US don't look good for keeping up the classic minoritarian Jews+blacks anti-white program--unless the border insanity allows massive reinforcements from Africa. (In which case America is doomed.)
-- The whole incident is a reminder of the fundamental lies at the heart of minoritarianism. Blacks have been the cudgel to beat whitey, the American people and nation. But there is just no getting around the fundamental fact, that the current black social situation is not because of our great mistake of slavery or past discrimination or vaporous "structural racism", but simply because of blacks are on average genetically significantly less capable at "modern civilization".

It’s more interesting because (for varying reasons) we all want to forget about the Covid episode.
It didn’t happen. We’re sorry. We won’t do it again. Ever.
It isn’t. But it is being pushed.
There will be a movie, and a beginning caption will read “Based on a True Story” and “based on” will provide a lot of fun wiggle-room for the screenwriter. A big question: Who will play Claudine Gay? Klinger from Mash or Angel from The Rockford files would depict they needed type of character, but we don’t have a time machine. Anyway, the eyeglass frames and the haircut provide enormous latitude as far as physical resemblance goes, so the field among current actors is quite wide. Tim Roth
maybe – – a superb talent. Of course a child actor would be needed to portray a young Claudine, pulling the wool over the eyes of her schoolteachers and parents.

The same reason that snowflakes find manga more interesting than girls.
They’re more attainable.
Anything Gay (any which way!) is safer and surer a subject than the fact that everybody suspects that the class and individuals still running the show today were responsible for millions of deaths just 3 years ago.
We can talk Gay because it’s easy. Mimic a gaccent, then either mock or defend a nobody nothing.
But what the hell does anybody plan to do about the fact that our whole world (covid just being the protruding tip) is based on lies and nonsense?
The People couldn’t land the head of either the Democratic or the Republican POTUS who partied with Epstein until they epsteined Epstein. And the worst anyone was convincingly guilty of there was sex with 16 year olds! Do you think there is any way TPTB won’t epstein everyone to save their hides from bearing responsibility for The Panic and it’s outcomes?
These fellas literally made billions of people inject a placebo with minor toxins in order to cover up evidence of their crime for The Panic.
If indeed they are also largely responsible for the outbreak itself everybody on earth knows that they will only go down as part of a world war and no other way.
So (in much the same way as Germany regarded the Holocaust pre-67) everyone employs protective stupidity and chooses not to be very interested in the matter. (It helps that everyone is guilty.)
I am personally unafraid of broaching any subject because I demand no hides.
I favor total human revelation without hatred.

Definite Urkel vibe in the press photos; but fairness demands the role go to Jussie Smollett.
What you’re referring to is why a bunch of people started gunning for her, but it’s not why Harvard was forced to let her go.
Foxnews.com is reporting that Claudine Gay is likely to keep her $900,000 a year salary even if demoted to a mere professor. That’s an “elegant” falling on one’s sword if there ever was one. Baryshnikov-esque (remember him? The memory hole is a deep murky puddle, no?).
In other news, the Maine Attorney General that ousted Trump from the ballot claims that voter I.D. laws are “rooted in white supremacy”.
Arguing with people of this calibre is impossible if they are allowed to insist voodoo dolls and bad juju are real and you have somehow hexed them whenever they blunder.
There was a dust-up some time back (90s?) where a group of alums complained about the fees paid to the fund managers: "One should not need such money to give their best effort."
How times have changed. A chunk of alums are now probably wondering why she is getting so little, dutifully in line like the Iraqi parliament, who reliably called on Saddam Hussein to have more purges; to kill more people.When the Dems are firing this big gun, it tells you they don't like voter ID laws because it makes it harder for them to cheat.

Gay learned the true lesson of the American elite: Don’t fuc$ with the Jews.
I will plagiarize no more forever. – Claudine Gay
$900k sounds like an awful lot for a simple professor. My impression was that the only 7 figure salaries at Harvard were for a few superstars at the medical school, the business school, and, perhaps, the law school who could walk out the door tomorrow to higher pay.
Most professors aren’t in that situation. I can recall a Doonesbury cartoon from the Reagan era in which a professor complains to the college president that if his pay isn’t raised, he’ll take his talents to the private sector.
The college president replies, “You teach Latin.”
My recollection is that the highest paid professor of Harvard undergrads a half decade ago was Claudine Gay’s arch-enemy, economist Roland Fryer, a middle of the road black guy who brings in huge research grants from billionaires like Michael Bloomberg. And if I recall correctly, he was making something like $650k.

Looks like the “Black Jewish Alliance” is over. What I don’t quite get is there never were any coherent demands on Gay. What exactly was she supposed to do? Using the National Lampoon cliché, put the misbehaving Harvard students on double secret probation?
She is a coward. Why doesn’t she stay and fight? She would be no worse off than she’ll be now. Our Masters knew all about this plagiarism business when they hired her. She was picked to be reliably anti-white,but she momentarily forgot her place,and Master slapped her down.

“Meanwhile deaths remain suspiciously above normal in much of Europe according to Dr. John Cambell, but not from Covid. What on Earth could it be?”
First of all, “Dr. John Campbell” is a “retired nurse educator”, not a statistician or epidemiologist. (He received the Ph.D. for his work on developing methods of teaching via digital media such as online videos.) The only reason anyone at all cares about what he says is that he’s a COVID truther, and most of the just-a-flu bros’ other fallen heroes (e.g. Wittkowski and Malone) have found better things to do by now, but I’m guessing a retired nurse educator has more in the way of free time. Second, deaths are don’t look suspiciously “above normal” in Europe as a whole for the last couple of months — but feel free to have a look yourself — so, absent the usual cherry-picking and data-mining, that’s another strike.
Lastly, if all this what-could-it-possibly-be scary talk is leading us to myocarditis risk, consider the fact that COVID itself is far more likely to cause myocarditis than the vaccine itself, so if you’re trying to find someone to blame for elevated death rates in any cohort, Mr. Not-vaxxing-me, look within.
I was hoping she’d crib from some of those inspiring speeches where the South Park kids scold the town’s feckless adults, the earnest pep talks where Captain Kirk urges some screwed-up alien planet to get its act together, or the converse where haughty Outer Limits aliens tell Earthlings we’re stupid pathetic hate-filled children
This clearly opens the door for former Chicago Mayor, Lori lightfoot. She’s already on the Harvard campus as a lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government and she fits most of the agenda requirements, with the bonus of being “married” to a 7 foot tall Jewish woman.
I know folks here are all too eager to give the Joos credit (blame) because “as we all know” they are the men behind the curtain pulling the secret levers behind EVERYTHING.
However, you’ll notice that Gay (unlike Magill BTW) withstood the initial salvos stemming from her response on 10/7 and her Congressional testimony. She even withstood the initial round of plagiarism allegations. The Corporation came out in mid-December and reaffirmed their support for her. So Joo power alone was apparently not enough to dislodge her.
The real credit goes to the anon who sent in the 2nd round of allegations on 1/1. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Generally speaking, the MSM is blaming/giving credit to “conservatives” for dethroning her, not Joos. But for the conspiracy minded, this is surely just Jooish deflection.

I’m feeling Gay fatigue. I’m going to say goodbye to the affair with this final link.
It is Bill Ackman’s complete and lengthy explanation for why he acted. Interestingly, it was 95% about DEI. He had not understood its new hegemony and its deleterious effects, and was appalled by what he discovered in thorough talks with faculty and students on campus. He has a record as a free-speech advocate, and says he only became concerned about the JQ when students were harshly threatened and intimidated.
He calls for Pritzker and the rest of the Board to resign, and a new non-DEI Board appointed. And he calls for abolition of the DEI office and dismissal of all its staff.
I know that some commenters here will consider his statement disingenuous, and I will refrain from quarreling about that. His remarks are at least interesting, and hopefully mark the beginning of the end for DEI.
Somehow the Left has put together in their Coalition of the Fringes a bunch of disparate groups that mostly naturally hate each other (and fall to quarrelling among each other sometimes) but by unifying around their dislike of white men they manage to keep them pulling together most of the time and they have achieved a lot of power that way. As long as the right consists mainly of old white men shaking their fists at the sky and looking for reasons for why no one is good enough to join their club it is going nowhere.
In a sense, there is to much Harvard here. Let's vary the subjects a bit. How about something novel and interesting about golf fields. Or quarterbacks, I miss them a lot. Anything, but a discussion about a failure at an actual top position of America, a job which gives America its Treasury secretaries.
The emperor is naked.

It’s moot points on top of moot points — why do you want a professor, at the most basic level, in any subject, who has been exposed as a fraud? The system doesn’t work, it’s crawling along because of lack of resolve on the part of the decent. Even if Ackman et al succeeded in withholding money (I predict they’ll chicken out because their money is their voice), Harvard already has all the money it could possibly need, and the staff have been demonstrated by this affair to be true believer cultist types. This is like that hospital in 70s New York which has handed over to street criminals, who dysfunctionally ran it for a while as a huge drug house. We cannot wait for failure (of a multi-billion dollar endowment) or in-house reform (from true believer cultists), the real solution would be something like what Henry the 8th did.

Rand Paul deserves a lot of credit for continuing to dig into the origins of Covid while so many others show so little interest in it. He recently published a book on it, which I purchased as soon as it came out.
Paul has also been one of the few members of Congress to question the wisdom of funneling large amounts of money to the corrupt Zelensky regime to continue a war whose only effect so far has been to kill large numbers of Ukrainians and enrich our military-industrial complex through weapon sales. I never hear Paul mentioned as a potential presidential candidate but I would certainly vote for him if he ran.

I think Mr Ackman is not quite fully up to speed on the “78:1” problem. He’s nibbling around the edges, but not really fully willing to embrace the true reality.
It’s a (temporary?) concession to her, returning her to her Dean of FAS administrative pay level (Bacow as president was making $1.3 mil, I doubt she was rated to make less). She still could lose it all by being fully ousted, possibly by a new Corporation.
That’s a type of corruption.

I’ve now read Ackman’s essay. Well worth reading and a massive takedown of DEI. DEI needs to be purged from our institutions.
It is just like the system that prevailed in Communist countries where only people with proper “proletarian” backgrounds could get into college or advance in their careers. Having a “black” background (this did not mean racially – it meant that your parents were from the landlord class) meant that you would never get anywhere in the educational or power structure. Note that this was a hereditary status – the fact that your ANCESTORS had been (in effect) slave owners made you guilty and suspect.
Also, it was not sufficient to just remain quiet – you had to actively promote the new ideology in order to advance in your profession. Only Party cadres were eligible for the most important positions even in non-political places. This was very much echoed in Comrade Kendi’s notion that there were only racists and anti-racists. If you were not an active anti-racist that meant that you were a racist. Thus the notion that anyone seeking tenure has to show how they have supported DEI and the fact that the selection committee for Harvard president ONLY looked at candidates that had met DEI criteria. (Ackman mentions that he was called a racist for even bring this up when it was a documented fact).
I hope that Ackman succeeds in his crusade, which goes much farther than just getting rid of Gay or even the current Harvard board. The whole DEI establishment must be purged like the Maoists that they are.
The other point that Ackman makes (whether or not the Men of Unz want to hear this) is that Jews were just the canary in the DEI coal mine – the larger thrust of the movement was against ALL settler colonialists (meaning white people). They just hadn’t gotten around to the rest.

Jack, from sparring with you over the last decade, I'm aware that your brain is deeply immersed in a Jewish perspective, but seriously this Jewish "canary" nonsense is just ridiculous.
Jews are the great propagandists of minoritarianism and they've been both denigrating/slandering, and sanctioning us boring stale pale flyovers my whole life ... right on up to George Floyd murdered by the goy storm trooper b.s. DIE has been aimed at us, attacking us, stealing from us pale goyim from the get go.
The Israeli response to the Hamas terror raid, has got Jews actually doing the whole white stormtrooper oppressing brown people--bombing and shooting and actually killing them, unlike Derek Chauvin--and in big numbers. Perfect bad whitey minoritarian propaganda. And because Jews have insisted on immigration-uber-alles, now campuses have lots of brown people--including muzzies--really jazzed up about it, plus the usual "social justice" white girls who've had their brains steeped in this minoritarian glop their whole lives and are dutifully compliant and virtue signaling. Jews have simple gotten a wake up that their usual "Holocaust!", "we're the world's greatest poor oppressed minority!" scam, simply doesn't work anymore. It's not 1967 anymore.
In short, far from a "canary" Jews are finding out a bit about what it's like to be white--sort of. There's lots of war spin (from both sides) but American Jews still don't get completely made up shit like Wilson or Chauvin. And Jews are able to go around and blackball their antagonists and wield their checkbook--things unthinkable or even illegal for whitey.
Says the guy who talks about the holocaust and evil not sees almost every day.
However, you'll notice that Gay (unlike Magill BTW) withstood the initial salvos stemming from her response on 10/7 and her Congressional testimony. She even withstood the initial round of plagiarism allegations. The Corporation came out in mid-December and reaffirmed their support for her. So Joo power alone was apparently not enough to dislodge her.
The real credit goes to the anon who sent in the 2nd round of allegations on 1/1. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Generally speaking, the MSM is blaming/giving credit to "conservatives" for dethroning her, not Joos. But for the conspiracy minded, this is surely just Jooish deflection.Replies: @Jenner Ickham Errican, @Santoculto, @Hunsdon

I don’t think Steve’s saying it is. He just thinks it’s entertaining and worth posting.
Personally, I happen to find it pretty lame and boring. Jack D–i believe–posted it in a comment yesterday, I read a couple sentences and thought “yawn”. Gay is not an interesting person and unlike mocking say Joe Biden utterly unimportant. And now she’s done. (I’m a tiny bit surprised Steve bothered with this now.)
The only interesting things about the Gay case:
— Her utter mediocrity. Harvard–Harvard really, embarrassingly stooped to go black.
— Reiteration of totem-pole realities. Blacks are at the top of the “oppression” totem pole, but they actually control nothing and have no power. Jews are at the top of the power-pole and–despite the demographic decline Pixo helpfully fleshed out–still control/run the Parasite Party and can make elite institutions snap to.
— Is this an indication that we’ve past peak black–the utter insanity of the past few years? I kind of think so, but nothing is for certain. Ultimately the Asian influx and over Latinization of the US don’t look good for keeping up the classic minoritarian Jews+blacks anti-white program–unless the border insanity allows massive reinforcements from Africa. (In which case America is doomed.)
— The whole incident is a reminder of the fundamental lies at the heart of minoritarianism. Blacks have been the cudgel to beat whitey, the American people and nation. But there is just no getting around the fundamental fact, that the current black social situation is not because of our great mistake of slavery or past discrimination or vaporous “structural racism”, but simply because of blacks are on average genetically significantly less capable at “modern civilization”.

I hope you’re right about this but I don’t share your optimism about liberal Whites. In my many years of observation, I think liberal Whites have a NEGATIVE inclination toward their own racial/ethnic group (I’ve seen polls confirming this), probably the only cohort to exhibit such a pathology. Say what you will about Jews, they tend to have a considerably healthier regard for their own community. But I suppose we can hope.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all year!
Famous speeches and books, bookended by Tupac, Rick Astley, and Cyndi Lauper.
Agree until that last gibberish: what planet, Jack? Was it a nice planet? On this one, DIE is largely something that happened to — and which certainly explicitly targeted — “f’ing white males” — with the successful result of all but ending college as an option for them. Only recently has it turned on Jews, and the only reason we have any hope of a solution here is because it did turn on Jews, whose lives, careers, and opinions matter. And nothing can expunge the role of Jews in promoting, supporting, and insisting on this garbage. It remains to be seen if they can clean up their own golem.
It is Bill Ackman's complete and lengthy explanation for why he acted. Interestingly, it was 95% about DEI. He had not understood its new hegemony and its deleterious effects, and was appalled by what he discovered in thorough talks with faculty and students on campus. He has a record as a free-speech advocate, and says he only became concerned about the JQ when students were harshly threatened and intimidated.
He calls for Pritzker and the rest of the Board to resign, and a new non-DEI Board appointed. And he calls for abolition of the DEI office and dismissal of all its staff.
I know that some commenters here will consider his statement disingenuous, and I will refrain from quarreling about that. His remarks are at least interesting, and hopefully mark the beginning of the end for DEI.

You’re delusional. This was not a “Jewish” project. The people who own the NY Times haven’t been Jewish for several generations. They are baptized and 3/4 Protestant by blood.

I don’t see the benefit in “COVID itself is far more likely to cause myocarditis than the vaccine itself”. The RNA vaccines were never approved for lowering the risk of catching COVID, so, if you get the Trump-Kariko-Kizzmekkia shot, you have the risk of covid-caused myocarditis that everyone has, plus an extra risk from the vaccine.
Of course, the Trumpers, the Karikans and the Kizzmekkians will all say we should move on, since pointing out things like those in my first paragraph show the American boomer government, the Sacred Cows of the progressive Western youth, and the Western science being useless, at the very least, their decisions and “discoveries” as useful as those of the Congolese.
If anything, Congo was even less impacted by covid.
May still be a lie now that the FDA has advanced to Official approval, because while neither vaccines nor (most?) natural immunity provides long term sterilizing immunity to coronaviruses, what you say later claiming mRNA vaccines are completely useless is a further blatant lie. The vaccines reduced morbidity and mortality, both of which including up to six month delayed mortality were very significant for classic Wuhan as seen in 2020 before anyone got vaccinated. And as far as I discerned back in 2021-22 that included the first two major variants of COVID, Alpha and Delta.
Weasel wording because you have to do very careful epidemiology to get any confidence about results, for example by Omicron around the beginning of 2022 the game had changed, but perhaps in part because almost everyone had some natural and/or vaccine immunity.
And I read one study or preprint abstract which claimed sharply lower morbidity for a third of the patients studied, who'd gained immunity to some very conserved universal or thereabouts coronavirus proteins, not the spike S or nucleocapsid N but ones concerned with basic reproduction. Was thought to be a clue to why bad outcomes were so unpredictable.Maybe because its population pyramid is exactly shaped like one, very few older folks to die from it? Compare to the US which is more like a cylinder until people get into their 60s.
You anti-vaxxers might get some purchase if you'd cease blatantly lying, but you haven't stopped in everything I've read since November 2020. You've cried wolf so many times no one with a clue buys anything you say, which will be bad if you actually find something of concern.

“He does report on side effects of the vaccine.”
Again, if anyone wants to tell me excess mortality is higher in the last few months than back when COVID was raging, I’m going to look at the graphs I linked to and continue to believe my lying eyes. And I have no doubt that — largely due to the stubborn refusal of people to take basic precautions like vaccination — COVID is a gift that will keep on giving for years to come, because well before the vaccine was even available, researchers predicted as much:
I’m not giving the vaccines a pass (though given the most recent Nobel Prize in medicine, it’s safe to say Sweden has come in from the cold regarding its earlier outlier approach to disease management, and when it comes to vaccines, they’re fully on board). One of the batches of Moderna reportedly caused an inordinate number of adverse effects, and I’ve seen little or no follow-up on that.
But as with myocarditis risk, you generally want to make bet where the odds are more in your favor, and the data is still solidly in favor of vaccines as opposed to tackling the virus au naturel. Those graphs (that the just-a-flu bros were themselves touting at one point before the “eye-catching spikes” started to appear) and my lying eyes tell me so, and anecdotal evidence about your neighbor’s kid who collapsed and died right after taking the jab, or something similar (e.g. like Youtube truthers monetizing the usual anti-vaxx scary talking points), is not going to sway me.

Whether it was true or not, it made a lot of Yankees and big corporations comfortable with relocating to Atlanta in a way that they would not have been moving to Selma or Montgomery and contributed to it becoming the new business capital of the South.
But, yes, the business climate in the 70s and 80s was quite welcoming and they kept the black morons in check enough so that Yankees would feel safe.Replies: @Jack D

We were already past peak DIE anyway. BLM signs on your lawn are SO 2020. The Supreme Court has abolished AA in college admissions. A number of states have outlawed DIE and the next Congress might ban it on the Federal level. Yes, the next generation is browner than before but not really blacker. Asians and Latinos (esp. Asians) have as much to lose from DIE and CRT as the have to gain. White girls who wear kaffiyehs this year will choose another fashion if that’s the in thing to do. The game is by no means over.
I know that the Men of Unz prefer to have a Bonfire of the Vanities and burn the whole Establishment down or just revel in the Jews getting a taste of “their own medicine” but here is a rare opportunity to be on the winning side. But the Men of Unz have defined their identity as being losers (America’s glory was in their childhood – it’s all downhill now) and will surely do their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You should be jumping for joy at what Rufo did (even now the Left is plotting to replace Gay with another black female DIE advocate – this time we will just vet her better!) and instead you call him a capo because he has icky Jewish allies.
It also helped that Atlanta’s location made it a natural for a big airport hub.
But, yes, the business climate in the 70s and 80s was quite welcoming and they kept the black morons in check enough so that Yankees would feel safe.
In 1950, their metro populations were roughly the same. Now Atlanta has 7x as many people.

They are replacing Gay with a bigoted leftist Jew who is still for DIE but who will Robocop the one exception, an exception which doesn't help me or resolve the original problem. DIE isn't out, its dumbest exponent is.
There actually is a positive Jewish angle here, and I apologize if you already thought of this and I didn't see it. Know what would be a victory? An acknowledgment that DIE and not Gay is the problem here? -- If the university brought back Larry Summers, with a cordial and specific apology, recognizing how right he was and how wrong was the university.
Regardless of their previous contributions to DIE (this always struck me as more of a black project than a Jewish one ), American Jews are now at a crossroads. See this article in The Atlantic by Conor Friedersdorf (not Jewish):
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/october-7-changed-americas-free-speech-culture-israel-hamas/677011/
The gist of it is that American Jews can go two ways: one is to demand that they be added to the list of DIE protected pets (which they have not been up until now) and the other is to reject the whole thing.
According to the Men of Unz, Jews are still powerful. Even if DIE is their golem gone wild, they can use their magic incantations to still it (Donatio terminosum!) or they can climb on its shoulders. But apparently in classic alt.right self defeating fashion , rather than welcome a new convert (as the Episcopal Church welcomed the Sulzburgers) you would rather revel in schadenfreude than plot a path forward with the icky Jews on your side.Replies: @Jenner Ickham Errican
Look at the names, Jack. Of the ownership, of the eight at best only Lax is not Jewish.
Your “several generations” lie doesn’t fly: You admitted (in a roundabout way) that NYT chairman and publisher A.G. Sulzberger is 1/4 Jewish by blood, which is significantly Jewish. The Sulzbergers are Jews and have typical Jewish anti-White motives as shown by their actions. Not surprisingly, A.G. Sulzberger employed willing fellow Jews to execute the project. “The 1619 Project” is a Jewish project.
LOL. Ever hear of Marranos? There needs to be an inquisition first. I want to see credible acts of faith.
Likewise, Bill Ackman’s belated ‘conversion’ doesn’t yet count, but I like the noises he’s making. If he’s smart, he’ll become explicitly and outspokenly pro-White, as a Jewish ally of Whites. He should be exhorting his fellow Jews to do likewise, and without lying by claiming to be “fellow whites”.
The only path forward for Jews wanting to avoid destruction as a tribe is to not shy from correctly identifying as Jews, as distinct from White, and to be explicitly pro-White, in opposition to all anti-Whites. That includes calling out all Jewish anti-Whites, including scum like the Sulzbergers. Clean up the Tribe from within. (If A.G. Sulzberger wants to publicly disavow his known Jewish status, he’s welcome to try, LOL. “Jewish? Heavens no. Uh, my father is, or was, an “Episcopalian”! Of sorts. That’s the ticket! Tally ho, my fellow whites!”)
A.O. is a Jew; his son A.G. is a Jew. A.G. is no doubt aware of his Jewish heritage and takes actions in a typical Tribal anti-White manner.
According to me Jews are more friendless than ever since WWII, and better earnestly start kissing White ass, start promoting Whiteness in opposition to anti-Whiteness, and better stop lying, like you continue to do. Difficulty level for most Jews on all that—damn near impossible.

Not only does the emperor have no clothes, he’s ranting, raving, and masturbating in front of us all. And the whole Gay affair is ridiculous! There is no way that the people at Harvard didn’t know every one of her weaknesses when they hired her. They just figured that she would stay on the plantation, and she really did. She’s not exactly Julius Streicher! Gay just didn’t understand how crazy, stupid, paranoid, and thin-skinned the Jewish radicals running the country actually are.
Gay was fired because she didn’t go nuclear on college students who were protesting Israel. Because of that, she was accused of supporting the genocide of Jews who are actually in the process of ethnically cleansing and genociding Palestinians.
We live in Clown World. Nah, Jews aren’t running the country, and they aren’t toxic and destructive tribalists, either.

Dunno Jack, if they feel very strongly attached to that one Jewish great-grandparent, they might as well be kosher per the rabbis. They will act on that connection.
I think Bolton or the late Michael Gerson are good examples of Gentiles per Rabbinic law with some Jewish ancestry who felt strongly connected to their Jewish roots.
There are plenty of Christian Dispensationalists who would kill for Jewish ancestry. I’ve known a few Evangelicals that made dang sure you knew that granny was a convert, solidifying their Abrahamic credentials. It’s almost, but not quite, something akin to the Muslims and sayyid status.
If Jews, who as the Men of Unz never cease to remind us, vote heavily Democrat and are at the core of American liberalism, can be converted to a new understanding that DIE is toxic and that they have no business putting BLM signs on their lawn when BLM would just as well see their throats cut, then there is hope for liberal whites as well.

It is Bill Ackman's complete and lengthy explanation for why he acted. Interestingly, it was 95% about DEI. He had not understood its new hegemony and its deleterious effects, and was appalled by what he discovered in thorough talks with faculty and students on campus. He has a record as a free-speech advocate, and says he only became concerned about the JQ when students were harshly threatened and intimidated.
He calls for Pritzker and the rest of the Board to resign, and a new non-DEI Board appointed. And he calls for abolition of the DEI office and dismissal of all its staff.
I know that some commenters here will consider his statement disingenuous, and I will refrain from quarreling about that. His remarks are at least interesting, and hopefully mark the beginning of the end for DEI.

Well as the Spartans would say… “Might.”
But in reality, almost never. And Ol’ Man Leftard, he just keeps rollin’ along.
A functioning coherent Right capable of a successful fighting campaign essentially does not exist in this country, probably never will. At this point our political language is so polluted and degraded, that we’d have to switch to another language entirely, say Czech or Estonian, simply to be able to make sense to one another without all the ridiculous baggage that has become attached to practically every word, including “and” and “the”.
And Ackman is still the enemy regardless.
For some inexplicable reason, the left seems incapable of realizing that their own tactics might be used against them.

Her 2009 MIT Ph.D. dissertation, and she became an eventually tenured professor there before retiring in 2020-21 to be a wife and do things in the private sector (MIT also went batshit crazy over COVID so the above timing might have some relation).
BI is a fairly prominent in its reporting as such on the tech sector, but it’s also more of a rag than average for business reporting orgs, although more than a step above ZeroHedge which is more blatant in just making stuff up.
Ackman went nuclear in mid-December calling out (((the MIT Corporation chair))), equivalent to Harvard’s (((Penny Pritzker))), and his extremely woke wife for tax fraud that in theory could cost MIT its tax exempt status. See more in my comments in the previous Gay topic.
It's good to be member of the nomenklatura.
If Leftists had just scored the heads of two Ivy League presidents for violating their norms, the entire Coalition of the Fringes would be congratulating the victors but you won't give Ackman and Rufo even a little bit of credit.Replies: @Ennui
I’m not talking about Rufo, I’m talking about Ackman. I guess he got mugged by reality. Still gonna be closer to a neocon than anything else, no thanks.

I think Bob Jones U was stripped or threatened with being stripped of its tax exempt status, as were some of the Tea party people. I have never heard of the IRS doing anything to lefty organizations even though many of them clearly engage in electioneering which is specifically prohibited.

This just confirms that the issue is neither plagiarism nor Gay.
Ackman is Orlando after having paid an alcoholic poet a gullibility-demonstrating sum to learn poetry, angrily throwing the review into a brazier. Especially given that Gay is not being punished in any way, what was accomplished? Has there been any acknowledgment by certain people that resorting to simple racism against white people was as dumb as using chemical weapons on a windy day? I haven’t heard it. Charlie Kirk was talking about this months ago, going straight for the necessary connection.
It's nice in so far as it causes psychological distress and a certain degree of discreditation for our elites and their PMC vassals. But nobody is going to be punished. Things are not really going to change because of this.
Good lord, talk about childish.
Steve’s blogging is free, he’s never taken the easy road, he’s made monumental contributions to the country’s political and cultural discussion … But by all means let’s be critical rather than appreciative, and let’s focus on complaining that he’s not doing what we want him to do.

Nah, my go-back item is to remind everyone that in the first three months of RNA vaccination, as well as in 6 decades that preceded it, there was a rule that RNA should be stored at -80 Celsius.
I remember the mockery when, in Jan 2021, Romanians, lacking proper containers, resorted to carrying the first Moderna vials in pizza boxes.
I remember the sanctimoniousness of Americans seriously discussing, in Feb 2021, about sending to jail a janitor who unplugged by mistake one of these deep freezers that stored the holy Moderna liquor.
Apparently, no one, including several Nobel winners for studying the RNA, did not think about storing it in regular fridges, until Fauci and Kizzmekkia thought outside the box.
Can you guess what happened to the RNA on your second through eighth dose, after the storing rules have changed? Are you familiar with nosodes?

Yes I am. Like the rest of homeopathy they are total bullshit with zero scientific validity.
This sordid little tale offers no insights. It’s a great bit of satire, but there are no shocking revelations that would require any person truly honest about the US to rethink their priors.

Well, RNA drugs, including the RNA vax, are nosodes, if they are not stored they way the were supposed to be stored. We are not privy to the lipid nanoparticle manufacturing process, so no one can replicate it, but we are supposed to believe the RNA is stable in the regular fridge.
I have seen papers testing vax stability after drawing through a needle, but the tests are very generic (electrophoresis, if that means anything to you). The fact is, if a single nitrogen base goes missing or twisted into some related compound, the RNA becomes likely useless. A change near the start codon, and it becomes completely unusable. It is like DNA mutations, except out DNA has lots of spare regions, and RNA has little if any.
I don’t think Bill Gates wants to castrate us, but this Hail Mary effort was useless, and lots of people behind it saw it as an opportunity to aggrandize themselves. For some reason I remember well the schizos around Radvac.

Nosodes are so diluted that they don’t even have one molecule of whatever it is they are supposed to have have.

The similarity of results between USA and Ukraine tells me the RNA vax played no role in covid eradication.

What is your evidence for this? I have found a LOT of useful information on ZeroHedge over the past 15 years.
But evidence? Note, here I'm talking about articles without any attribution but "BY TYLER DURDEN," and the method is often trivial, including just knowing a subject.
Find something that strikes me as questionable, click on the linked source, find the source does not support the assertion. It's part of how Michael Bellesiles was brought to justice for his claims the US was only recently well armed (modulo there were no links to click then). Its how I learned "Eric Striker" is a stone cold liar: long after COVID temporary disrupted US food supply chains by shifting demand from restaurants to homes, he claimed US farmers were destroying food (rather like under the New Deal, although I don't recall his making that comparison).
Now, I'm the son of two early Silent Generation parents who grew up on farms and was born and raised have retired to one of those farming regions of the country, so I follow this sort of thing. And sure enough, his link which he, I assume correctly assumed most people wouldn't check (this certainly works well for anti-vaxxers), was to an article I'd read just when COVID was starting to really hit the US in early 2020 and was about farmers who'd been supplying restaurants with really perishable stuff.
BTW, the above should not be taken as an endorsement of anything that ZeroHedge publishes, I'll just notice you can learn how reliable the various bylines tend to be on various subjects. For example I've realized over time that FreightWaves is not very good, that's another field I follow somewhat. John Turley is John Turley, for better or worse (am starting to recognize his columns based only on their titles; his problem is his conceit the Rule of Law is still a thing).

Heh. You just used Covid vaccines and “scientific validity” in the same sentence. You’ll be guesting on the NYT Op-Ed page next. Lemme guess what’s in your desk drawer… something about Israel.
The two are not mutually exclusive! Thus I read ZeroHedge despite knowing how often it’s filled with lies. For the ostensibly good stuff I either trust my BS detector for subjects I know and often validate, or file away but don’t promote stuff which I can’t or don’t want to take the time to validate.

No doubt a site that aggregates from a lot of other sources will reflect the opinions of the sources, some of which may be erroneous, others with which we may disagree. Overall, I still greatly prefer a bias in favor of free speech and against the my-way-or-the-highway attitude of nearly all the MSM.

I just wanted to thank you for your considered reply. I do not share your enthusiasm about the vaccines, but I’ll just leave it at that, I do not want to get into an unproductive flame war about that well-trod topic.

So how did the other epidemics come and go, before Fauci and Radvac? How did the pandemic end in China, of all places, without Kizzmekkia’s RNA nosodes? How did Covid end in countries with almost no vax of any kind, such as ex-USSR?
