The Strangest of Bedfellows

Here’s a video of the song that won the Eurovision contest in 1965.

It may be hard to believe people took this seriously. As you can see, there were no bearded men in women’s underwear on the stage. No shaved male butts. No one simulated sodomy. There was no transvestite content of any kind, nor were there any transparent costumes, men wearing only jockstraps, or ladies wearing items intended to make them look as though they had male genitalia.

What was wrong with these people?

In 2024, Eurovision was more appropriate for our more-enlightened era. Witches. People with perversions too varied, novel, and obscure for me to understand and describe. People insisting on being called “they.”

The contest also featured calls to remove an inherently offensive competitor: the nation of Israel. This nation offends by existing. The judges don’t have the power to annihilate nations, yet, but they could, at least, have spared the contest’s fragile contestants and viewers the sight of a modestly-dressed Israeli Jew standing before decent people–meaning those with piercings, clad in cutting-edge opposite-sex brothel attire that would have shocked Weimar–singing a song that wasn’t even about sexual depravity.

To be more serious, I don’t want to post disgusting photos of the contestants here, but you can see a whole bunch of them on The Daily Mail’s site, itself known for content approaching soft pornography.

This year’s winner is a person who calls itself Nemo. It is from Switzerland, and it claims to be non-binary. It appears to be a man, like the majority of truly attention-crazed perverts.

Here is something interesting: many Muslim countries have pulled out of Eurovision, clearly because of the homosexual and fetish content. After all, Muslims are the ones who still execute homosexuals.

Just kidding. They pulled out because Israel was allowed to compete. Some pulled out. Some never joined. In 1977, Tunisia decided not to join because Tunisians didn’t want to “broadcast Israeli content.” They didn’t want to offend Allah by acknowledging Israel’s intolerable, unbearable existence.

That was back when most people in the West hadn’t started opening up about hating Jews for no reason. It’s hard to remember how it felt to live in that world.

Muslim participation now is found chiefly outside the venue, where Muslim and other antisemitic patrons of the arts protest in favor of genocide. Maybe Eurovision should be a quiz show instead of a song contest. They could have contestants try to answer the Jewish Question.

“‘Who is Adolph Eichmann?’, Alex.”

What an amazing synergy. People who murder homosexuals in the streets with their government’s full approval, and homosexuals who post Tiktok videos threatening to kill people who don’t want them to show their genitals to little girls in locker rooms. What would happen to either group if the other were given absolute power?

Satan has won. We have to absorb it. Obviously, he can never win a war, but he has won the battle. He now possesses the world. The next phase will be a supernatural retreat involving the withdrawal of God’s children. After that, God will release demons and fallen angels on the world with almost no restraint, and the people who wanted to be rid of us will crave death. Then, like MacArthur, Yeshua will return, and he will kill so many people, the Bible compares them to grapes being stamped. It says his robe will be wet with their blood.

God’s harvest, the “fullness of the gentiles,” is pretty much complete. So is Satan’s harvest; the future and eternal occupants of the lake of fire. There is just a little harvesting left to be done, and the tribulum is the tool for the job.

The first Eurovision contest of the tribulation may be something to see. Maybe the terror and suffering will not have reached their peak when it airs, and the perverts and God-haters will finally get to put on the kind of show they wanted to give us from the start. Maybe they’ll combine ritual abomination sex with executions.

Am I reaching anyone when I say these things? Few people, if any. Nearly all of humanity is afflicted with supernatural numbness. People should be horrified by spectacles that would have made their grandparents vomit, but they see them as fun and new.

The world is a sore full of pus, and it’s time for the lancet. Christians are accomplishing nearly nothing now. God’s enemies, on the other hand, are sweeping the world suddenly, like Sherman’s troops destroying Atlanta. They are experiencing success they could not have dreamed of even 25 years ago.

Cops walking in the aftermath of an antisemitic mob crime (any illegal takeover is a mob crime) in Texas found something really interesting. They found propaganda, and one of the statements in the propaganda was this: “We will not be satisfied with co-existence.”

What have I been saying? Now I have corroboration. The story of the world is a story of genocide. There are two races: God’s children, and everyone else. Satan wants to get rid of God’s children, and God wants to get rid of Satan’s. Each wants to remove even the memory of the other’s children from the world.

This is why many blind Jews who can’t see their Messiah call Yeshua “Yeshu,” which is code for, “May his name and memory be blotted out.” Not all Jews who use this slur know what it means, but some do. They are repeating a curse reflecting the desire of their father, Satan. Similarly, gentiles who are children of Satan want to remove all Jews and Spirit-led Christians from the world.

All peoples have problems, but the Jews are unusual in that their problems are existential. Most persecuted peoples are threatened with marginalization and poverty and so on, but the Jews have been threatened repeatedly with annihilation. That’s not normal. Oddly, Jews themselves tried to annihilate Messianic Jews while Christianity was in its infancy. Paul was originally in the genocide business, at the behest of the religious establishment in Jerusalem.

Appeasers, both Jewish and gentile, need to understand that there can be no appeasement. Handing over land won’t work. Being nice to perverts won’t work. The final goal of the children of Satan isn’t land or wealth or any of that. It’s the absence of Jews and real Christians from the earth.

People look at the crazies rioting on campuses, and they think, “Kids. It’s always something with them. This will blow over.”

No, this is different. They want to kill us, and they are eager to get started. They will not shrink from it. They don’t have normal empathy. They are sadists. Hurting others brings them pleasure and makes them feel virtuous. It raises their social status, just as it raises the social status of Palestinian terrorists who share photos and videos of people they have raped and murdered.

All the stuff I’ve talked about is coming true, and it will only increase. People need to spend hours in prayer every day, getting God’s revelation and preparing to go.

This is the End, my Friend

Ever heard of Eurovision? I heard of it through Monty Python. A sketch featured a quiz show, and one of the participants, Mao Tse Tung, answered a question about the Eurovision Song Contest.

I assumed Eurovision was a TV network. Then I thought it was the name of a contest. Now I see that it really is a network. In Europe, I suppose.

Right now, the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place in Malmo, Sweden. Entrants from a bunch of countries sing songs, and somebody decides which one is best.

Israel and Australia are competitors this year. So is Iceland. Not sure why it’s called the “Euro” vision contest. Maybe the network is popular in those countries. There must be a lot of people in Israel who are really tired of trying to learn Hebrew.

Speaking of Israel, throngs of demonized people are ruining the contest by waving Palestinian flags and presumably calling for death to this and that country. They booed Israel’s contestant off the stage after about 15 seconds.

A British commentator says perverts are also roaming about outside, calling attention to their genitals in the name of love, inclusion, decency, and in all likelihood, holiness. And maybe the prophet, who can’t enjoy it because he’s in hell.

Speaking of LGBTetc. matters, I saw a really funny African interview the other day. A homosexual was being interviewed, and in a question about the all-inclusive term “LGBT,” the host said, “Where is the H?”

I thought that was brilliant.

The Israeli contestant has to be escorted by dozens of police vehicles, because she is in country largely controlled by hostile, pro-terror Muslims. Sweden.

What would happen to her if the police weren’t there? Go watch the video of Shani Louk. And don’t forget: the people who shot the video and exposed it to the world were the people who stripped, killed, and surely raped her. They were, and are, proud of it.

Queers for Palestine is there. I have a new name for the organization. “Queers for Murdering Lots of Queers.”

They stand up for those who fight genocide by raping Jewish women while mutilating them, and who support Islam by throwing screaming, crying, suspected, untried homosexuals off tall buildings. While proudly filming it.

They are supporting the people who will eventually slaughter them all over Europe while fighting their “real” enemies: Jews who overwhelmingly support perversion and every other leftist mistake.

The Swedes, if you can still call them that, are making some effort to tone down the anarchy, but overall, they are accepting defeat and bending the knee. Sweden was lost a long time ago.

The Jews lost their battle when they rejected Yeshua, and now the gentiles are finished. It’s not a close call. Europe is gone. The Muslim countries are insane. The blue states are never going to recover. India, Japan, Burma, and a bunch of other countries have firmly rejected God. Evangelizing them will not work. It has had its chance. The communist countries that haven’t reformed died inside during the last century. Even where I live, in what may be the most Christian county in America, there are tons of homosexuals. The horse business attracts them like flies. Lots of women with short hair and men who love dressing manes.

Here in the US, senile, lying, unintelligent Joe Biden, whom we elected without coercion, just said people are dying in Gaza because Israel targets population centers with bombs. This is like saying Israel’s problems are caused by eating too much pork. It’s the opposite of true. It’s one of the most antisemitic things I have ever heard from anyone, and he said it on national television. It’s fundamentally the same as the blood libel, but the scale is thousands of times greater.

The ship is taking on water. The pumps are too small, and crazy passengers keep shutting them off. The stern is under water. When is Yeshua going to come lift people off the bow?

It’s so strange, being sane and living in a world where the majority is psychotic. Most people believe whatever the people around them say is true. That’s how they determine what truth is. The real truth has never changed. God knows the truth, and he shows it to his people. We sit in wonder as the mental cases around us insist that men are women and schoolchildren are cats. They throw healthy breasts, the contents of penises they have hollowed out like bagels, and testicles into waste bags, and they call it health care. They keep screaming that self-defense by actual genocide victims is genocide.

The terrible truth is that God hates a lot of people now. People say God loves everyone and hates no one, but the Bible says he hates some of us. He hates the lawless. He hates habitual liars. He really hates slanderers. Satan slanders him all day.

One of the words translated to describe God’s hate has been used to describe people who are unloved. Does God really love everyone? No. The Bible says he will cast the Antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire alive. He’s not going to do that out of love for them. They are almost certainly alive now. They are human beings, and he hates them.

The Bible says God is love, but he is also fury and permanent condemnation. The flames of hell and the lake of fire don’t come from Satan. God provides them, around the clock. What God is to you depends on what you are to God.

A gigantic segment of the human population is beyond hope now because they love lies and slander. The idea that lying is a bad idea never enters their excuse-hardened minds. They can’t be saved because they can’t admit fault. An admission of fault is truth.

God hates a lot of us, not just our sins, and he is also aware that many of us can’t be saved, so he has no motivation to keep trying. People who hate him also hate his children, and the longer he keeps helping the wicked through forbearance, the more they hurt us. No father likes seeing his children tormented and killed.

The Jews were taught to leave the corners of their orchards unpicked and to leave fallen grain on the ground. The purpose was to feed the poor. The world is like a farm that has already seen the harvest. Back when billions were willing to listen, harvesting people was easy and fast. Now it’s slow and difficult and produces poor results. God isn’t going to keep investing in it.

I can’t wait to live in a place where things are normal. Every day, people, spirits, and other creatures try to rob me and kill me. I have a list of passwords a mile long because of this. I have locks and alarms. I have guns. I have insurance. I’ve taken vaccines and antibiotics. I use pesticides and mouse traps. I shot a coon in the head. I’ve killed lots of squirrels.

Think how different life would be in a place where people were in agreement about everything and the creatures around us weren’t always trying to murder us.

Imagine knowing you will never have another awkward encounter with an angry man in women’s clothing. Parents, imagine not having to think about countering the filth your kids are taught in schools. Jews…well, do I have to even tell you? Hitler got a third of you, and he had a lot of help from people he conquered. Imagine not being a prey species.

This has to end.

God Hates Displays of Wealth

It’s impossible to trust the government (shocking) when it comes to reports about the prosperity of the American people. For example, it’s possible to have a low official unemployment number when an unusually large number of people are unemployed.

A few years ago, I came up with the Baldor Bench Grinder Index. You go to Ebay and search for used Baldor bench grinders.

When times are hard, people sell their tools. Back during the Clinton forced-minority loan housing crisis, I got a barely-used 19″ Shop Fox band saw for way less than it ordinarily cost. I got a Powermatic 66 table saw with a big extension, Biesemeyer fence, and a punch of pricey blades for $500. Both tools came from cabinetry shops.

When things improve, you don’t see a lot of used Baldor bench grinders on Ebay.

Yesterday, I drove by an auction site. They sell trucks and heavy equipment. I visited a couple of years ago, and the lot was full of junk no intelligent person would buy. Yesterday, there was a lot more stuff. I saw two very nice-looking track loaders (similar to skid steers) right out front.

Today I checked the Baldor Bench Grinder Index. There are a lot of grinders on the market. Maybe 60% more than there were a couple of years ago.

Is the index reliable? I don’t know. The business of selling things online has changed. Craigslist punched Ebay in the gut, and Facebook Marketplace is stomping Craigslist. Seems to me that even if the grinder index had a somewhat low number, it would mean things were not going well. The other sites are taking sales away from Ebay.

Today I saw Charlie Kirk say that 4 years ago, a person needed an income of $59000 to buy a house, and now it’s $106000, meaning you might be excluded even if you have a high-paying profession, such as working at Burger King for $25 per hour.

He said big companies are swallowing up houses and renting them out, driving the purchase prices up. He said lowering interest rates makes things worse by making it easier for corporations to buy homes, decreasing the supply and jacking up prices. I don’t know if that makes any sense, because it also makes it easier for the rest of us to buy homes. Anyway, a lot of young people think they will never own homes.

The difficulty of buying homes and food under Biden, which is indisputable, is a phenomenon we used to call “poverty.” If you had a hard time buying things, we said you were “poor.” Affluence is becoming less common, and poverty is on the rise.

Americans are becoming poor. That’s the short version.

When I was a kid, I heard the term “rich Americans” all the time. When my family visited Europe, the people seemed poor and also short and spindly. Now Americans are descending the ladder of wealth, in terms of net worth. We passed Switzerland, which is number one, per capita. Our GDP per capita is far below Ireland’s, if you can believe it.

I think we are hiding the pain through denial and credit. I sometimes go to fast food joints, where I can expect to pay $13-$25 for a low-quality meal, and I often see a lot of cars in front of them. My county is not wealthy, and I know the people who keep spending on fast food generally can’t afford it. They must be pumping up their credit card balances because they can’t make themselves accept the lower standard of living their incomes now support.

I checked, and credit card debt is now at an all-time high. Adjusted for inflation, the only higher figure was reached in 2008, and we all remember what that was like. Deflation. Prime beef for $7 per pound, because no one could afford it. Shuttered businesses.

I am terrified of debt, so I stay away from it. If I die tomorrow, some credit card companies get a few grand, and that’s it. I don’t know how people can stand lying in bed at night thinking about debt mountains that will kill their estates and leave their heirs with nothing.

On rare occasions, my wife thinks I’m cheap because I won’t pay for something I think is ridiculous, like a Vuitton purse. She always comes to her senses later. She has visited 6 countries with me over 4 years. I don’t expect her to get a job. I try to supply her with more than she needs. She knows this. She has moments when she loses perspective, but she snaps out of it fast.

Lately, God has been teaching me about the evils of ostentation. I believe it’s sinful. I think it turns God against people.

Since purses have already been mentioned, I’ll use them to illustrate the point. A good, durable, classic purse that will last 20 years starts at maybe $300. A $500 purse can be a very good investment. A $2000 purse with little Vuitton symbols all over it is different. It won’t last any longer, and the only thing the extra $1500 gets you is the ability to impress shallow people and hurt the feelings of the poor, who are already humiliated enough.

When I buy boots, I don’t buy $65 Chinese disposables from Rural King. They will hurt my feet, let water in, and fail in less than a year. On the other hand, I don’t spend $1500 on custom-made boots from Oregon. I don’t need them, and I don’t get a good return on the investment. I’ll spend $140-$250 to get something that will last years and do a great job. Very often, $250 boots sell for over a hundred dollars less on Amazon. I have boots I bought over 20 years ago.

Often, buying good, expensive things ends up costing less than buying cheap things. I understand that. And trying to save money has caused me a huge amount of unnecessary pain. But you will never see me in a $500 Gucci baseball cap unless someone puts it on my corpse.

A friend of mine has a diesel Mercedes SUV. I thought he got it because he liked diesels, but now I think he drives it partly for status.

The car has been a nightmare to own. I hate it. It had a persistent limp mode problem for maybe two years. To replace the battery, you have to cut the carpeting or remove the passenger seat. It has cheaply-made engine parts that fail routinely, and they are very expensive to buy. Working on it is pure hell.

I have a Ford and a Dodge. I think they’re both fantastic. Reliable, comfortable, and common, so everyone knows how to fix them, and parts are everywhere. I never asked myself whether my wife would be impressed when she saw it. She was supposed to be impressed with me and the way I treated her, not a machine. But a big percentage of American women–this is incomprehensible to me–are put off by great men in ordinary cars. Incredibly, there are millions of women in American who will have sex with you just because you have a high-end car. That’s worse than being a whore. A whore gets paid.

My friend has an Iphone, which he hates. I asked him why he got it. He said he got it because women like them. I can’t figure out how it feels to think that way. If women started saying they were insanely excited by men in a certain $3 shirt from Tractor Supply, I wouldn’t buy one.

My wife likes Land Rovers. She will never have one if I have to pay for it. They’re unreliable. They cost a fortune. The insurance is high. They only exist to impress people who don’t matter.

My car is now 9 years old. It has fewer than 75,000 miles on it. It has no rust. The interior is good. I may drive it until I die. It has antilock brakes, a bunch of airbags, climate control, and comfortable seats. It was made before spy technology made it possible for the government to shut cars down and helped insurance companies find out how people drove.

What else do I need?

I’m building up her jewelry collection. A woman has to have jewelry. I get her tasteful pieces that look great, but I will never jeopardize our future by buying a ruby the size of a lima bean. Apart from the cost, over-the-top jewelry makes women look shallow. A lot of it makes them look ghetto.

God has given us extraordinary blessings. We have a nice house in a secluded area far from the Satanic lefist and Islamist mobs. Away from the constant parade of murderous, entitled sexual perverts. We have enough wealth. We have good food and clothing. We don’t have to go to work and bend the knee to a system designed to crush Christians.

He didn’t give us these things because we were good people who deserved it. He let himself be tortured to death so he could show his love by giving us all this in spite of the fact that we are failures. If we show off and make other people feel bad, and if we want them to admire us for receiving charity in return for our histories of vileness, then we are provoking God to take it all away and give us what we deserve.

There are tens of millions of Americans out there spending money they have not earned, along with crippling interest, in order to make other people (sincere Kardashian fans and influence-worshipers) think they’re bigger deals than they are. These are the same people who go on Facebook and post photos of their cars and dream vacations. They are the same people who post glowing remarks about their perfect families while they are having screaming fights in front of their kids or losing children to homosexuality and drugs.

I don’t understand the social media liars. Everyone who knows them knows about their failures, and they talk.

I used to go to church with a deacon named Manny. He called himself an architect, and he called his business and architecture and engineering firm. He has never been to college. He’s committing crimes by pretending to be a licensed professional. If he ever tries to design anything, he could get someone killed.

His wife used to post family photos and say how wonderful their lives were. Meanwhile, she texted a friend of mine and said her life was a living hell and she had to get away from Manny.

My wife knows a model from Zambia. She lives in the USA. She posts photos of her expensive things, like $30,000 purses. This is a common thing in Africa, as it is among ghetto people here. Bragging is considered acceptable, and people who do it also make fun of the poor people who comment.

My wife says she just found out this woman is a whore. Are the purses real? Well, she lied about herself, so she’ll lie about a purse. What about the cars? Anyone can stand next to someone else’s car in a picture. Ghetto people do it all the time. Same people who get a hundred singles and one hundred-dollar bill, put the big bill on the top, and fan the whole stack out in pictures so it looks like they have $10,000.

I don’t think it’s evil to drive a nice mid-priced car through a slum. It’s not evil to have a big house as long as it’s not a nouveau-riche status symbol tarted up with things like a helipad. I think it’s fine to go on vacation and use a good camera to take pictures in a poor country. But God surely hates showing off, which is gratuitous. You have to watch it.

I hope that if we really are looking at a permanently lowered American standard of living, God spares his children and helps us to be generous and quiet. With all the other spirits, nations, and people out there trying to destroy our prosperity, the last thing we need is to join them.

I’m going to make a special effort to toe the line and get my wife to do the same.

When the Desire Cometh, it is a Tree of Life

I had an extraordinary experience today. A very good one.

I have lots of trees. They fall down a lot. I have to keep saws in order to deal with them.

When I first got here, a hurricane passed by at a distance, and even though we were not hit, we got winds high enough to knock over lots of large trees. This was about 23 days after my arrival. The previous owners left the property in great shape, and I only got to enjoy it for three weeks before Satan blew his nose all over it.

I had no saw, and after the storm, getting a saw was impossible. Not only were local stores cleaned out; because people had gotten used to Internet shopping, online retailers all over the US were cleaned out. One state did that. It’s a good lesson to remember.

One day not long after the storm, I had a near-miraculous experience. I was stubbornly Googling to find saws, and I found a Jonsered (red Husqvarna) 16″ 40cc saw advertised on Tractor Supply’s site, and it was at a store only 20 or so miles off. I bought it, thinking there was no way I would actually get it. I thought it had to be a website error, or maybe an employee would hide the saw and sell it to a friend or relative. Incredibly, when I went to the store the next day, the saw was there.

I managed to find a 20″ 60cc Echo CS590 online at Acme Tools, and I pounced. Once it arrived, I had two fairly good amateur-grade saws to get me through the job of fixing the property.

I didn’t know much about small engines. I didn’t know:

1. Modern gas is garbage, and that goes quadruple for ethanol gas. If you let ethanol gas sit in a small engine for even two months, you may clog your carburetor so badly it has to be disassembled and cleaned.

2. Sta-bil gas treatment, which is what most people use, is also garbage. It forms a thin protective layer atop gas in your tank, but if your tank ever moves, the layer breaks, and the protection stops until it forms again. Not knowing this, I used Sta-bil.

3. The most important thing to think of when you buy a small engine is the quality of the local repair apparatus. If you don’t have a good repair shop nearby to fix your gold-plated Stihl, you are much better off buying and scrapping three Poulans in a row.

I clogged up both my saws. More accurately, Democrats clogged them up, because they’re the idiots who force the ethanol scam on us, and they’re probably somehow responsible for the fact that even ethanol-free gas is not as stable as it used to be. I have no evidence to back that up, but I’ll bet it’s true, because the whole thing has that Democrat smell about it.

I fiddled with various solutions to the problem. I bought cheap Chinese replacement carburetors to get around cleaning the factory carbs. This sometimes worked well. I kept having problems, though, and around 16 months after I bought the saws, I took the Echo to authorized repair centers, and while they did manage to get it going, they took about three months. When I started using it, screws fell out of the case because they had not been tightened enough, and that cost me more time while I waited for new ones to arrive.

The saws have continued to have issues, and I am part of the problem. I let them sit more than I should have. The more problems I had, the more discouraged I was, so the less I tried to use them, and then I let them sit longer.

I bought an 18″ Makita cordless saw to fill in the gap. I have to say it’s wonderful. It has incredible torque, and it always, always, always runs. With 4 batteries, you can do the kind of job that would take you about two hours with a gas saw, as well or better than a gas saw. After that, you’re stuck with a dead saw, but that’s not so bad, because maybe 95% of cutting jobs involve less than two hours of work.

I’m not saying the saw will run for two hours on 4 batteries. It won’t. I’m saying it will do a job you can do in two hours with a gas saw. Most of the time, when you’re doing a job with a chainsaw, the saw isn’t running. You’re driving wedges or moving around or doing other things.

I have some trees that need work right now. Two oaks are hanging out over a neighboring property, and I have to get together with the people over there and move them. I haven’t been able to get either of my gas saws to work right. The Jonsered surges while idling, making the chain move and making the saw dangerous, and the Echo can’t be started no matter how many tricks I try. I got all sorts of expert advice which does no good.

I have really suffered with these saws. I’ve had jobs pile up on me. I have wrestled with these saws over and over in my shop, exhausting myself and getting filthy, never knowing when the next adjustment or change in procedure might make them work. It’s very unpleasant, walking out to the shop for the fifth time, after four failures to get results, not knowing whether this day will be any better.

I was willing to spend money. I was willing to work on the saws myself. It didn’t matter. I could not get anywhere. I felt that any American with a good net worth should be able to get a saw fixed easily and quickly, but it was an obstacle I could find no way around.

Every time I thought about the problem, I felt frustration. I felt hopeless. I marveled at the difficulty, and even though I was willing to pay for help, I marveled at the cost.

Mechanics now charge about a hundred bucks an hour, which is obscene, but they’re no better than they were when they charged 10 dollars. If you keep taking a $300 saw in, it can turn into a $900 saw before long. What if you buy a $900 saw to begin with, and it has fewer problems, so you save hundreds on mechanics? It starts to make sense after a few years of suffering.

I used to say I would never buy an expensive saw, but over the last week, I have had a change of heart. Getting my Echo saw repaired seemed impossible in this county, and I as getting nowhere fixing it myself. I didn’t want to take it back to the people who held it hostage in the past. I started to think it might be better to get a more powerful new saw, which I needed anyway, and treat it right from the outset. I could buy a brand with a good local repair shop and put my Echo problems behind me.

I tried to get advice on the web. I got some great advice and some stupid advice. People told me this Echo model is a dream saw which always starts reliably. Go Google it and see if you believe that. There are multiple videos of people who have struggled with this saw; they publish their solutions. Other people I communicated with offered solutions I already knew about, which did not work. Others, more helpfully, recommended certain saws to me.

I learned some stuff which may possibly be true.

There are two types of chainsaw: professional (logger and arborist) and bad (homeowner and farmer). An average homeowner can get years of satisfying use from a bad saw, but pros do not like them. They’re less durable, and they tend to be heavier for their size. Drop one from a tree, and you may have to scrap it. They have other shortcomings too.

There are three good brands of chainsaw in America, or maybe I should say manufacturers, since a manufacturer can have more than one brand. The manufacturers are Stihl, Husqvarna, and Shindaiwa (parent of Echo). Stihl and Husqvarna make the best pro saws. Shindaiwa/Echo makes some pro saws, and it also makes the CS590, which has pro guts in a homeowner-saw body. If you shop, you can get a CS590 for around $400. Add over $300 to that for a comparable Stihl or Husky with all-pro construction.

The CS590 is probably a fantastic bargain for people who use saws frequently, know how to prevent them from clogging, and have good repair shops close to them. For me, it was an orange plastic torture device most of the time. I did a lot of things wrong when I got my saw, making it worse, and I had no help.

Yesterday, I finally decided I should get a pro saw and then keep looking for places that could fix the Echo and the Jonsered. A new Echo place had opened up, so maybe there was hope for that saw. I would work it out so I had two big saws, at least one of which would most likely run on any given day.

Based on advice, I decided I wanted a saw with modern electronics in it to make it run better. Husqvarna and Stihl have saws that adjust themselves to deal with things like temperature and humidity. Pros tell me they work better than old-fashioned saws. Husqvarna’s system is called Autotune, and Stihl’s is called M-tronic.

There is a Stihl/Husqvarna dealer 5 minutes from me. I thought that would be a great choice. I would pick a model on the web, go in, ask them how quicky they did mechanical service, and get a price. If they made me happy, I would buy a saw.

I figured I wanted a Husqvarna 562XP or a Stihl MS362 C-M. Big enough to move a 25″ chain, which is exactly what I need.

I went to the nearby place. They were very nice, and they assured me they could turn small repair and maintenance problems around in a week or so, barring the need for hard-to-find parts.

On the other hand…

1. There were three guys there, and none of them knew much about chainsaws. They were not very familiar with the Stihl line. I had to Google and confirm stuff they said. One of them said I needed to visit when the “two-stroke guy” was there.

2. I’m pretty sure they represented a non-M-tronic MS362 as an M-tronic saw. I don’t think they knew it.

3. I asked what they could do regarding price, and they said “nothing.” Stihl sets the price, and you pay it. Over $900.

4. I mentioned Echo, and they said they wouldn’t let an Echo product come through the door. So much for getting my old saw worked on.

5. They’re a Husqvarna dealer, but they don’t sell Husqvarna saws.

In the parking lot, I looked up the next-nearest Husqvarna dealer, and I drove over. Same kind of place. Tractors, saws, zero-turns, and so on. There was one guy there, in a dirty shirt. Young. He worked on machinery, himself. He was the owner.

1. He knew everything about Husqvarna saws as well as Echos. He used to work in an Echo shop. I asked him all sorts of stuff about the 562XP on the wall, and he knew all about it. He knew all the known issues. He knew the best way to cope with the ethanol crisis. He told me stuff no one else had, and I have researched for years.

2. He said he could fix Echo products. No problem. He also does Jonsered, of course. He had a Husvarna 435 there, which is just like my ailing Jonsered. He can fix my bogging Echo trimmer.

3. I asked about the price, and he gave me a 15% discount which wasn’t officially supposed to kick in until later in the month. I asked about the warranty, and he said Husqvarna would add three years if I bought their gas.

4. He told me about the yearly stuff the new saw would need and about what it would cost.

When he told me about the discount, I was sold. He said I only needed to spend $28 on the gas, so I jumped on it. He registered me with Husqvarna. He took the saw, filled it, and checked it out.

I was looking at around $970 for the Stihl without M-tronic. I got the Husky, Autotune, the gas, and a 5-year warranty for about $840, and I finally had a place to get things repaired.

I’m going to bring my sick tools in and get them fixed. Then I’ll have three gas saws and one cordless, so it’s not likely I’ll end up with no saws that work.

When I left the store, I felt like I was high on heroin. The stress left my body completely. The misery of dealing with this saw with no help for 7 years was over. I can deal with the two trees I have to help move this week, and I can expect to have working saws from now on. I can get yard tools fixed.

I’m not doing the sensation justice. A stronghold was broken. It was a very big deal to me. I felt ecstatic. Euphoric. Peace enveloped me. I thought I could feel my blood pressure dropping.

This story shows how to sell saws, both for your own store and for the one your competitors run. The guys at the first saw did as much to sell me this Husqvarna as the guy who got the money. They tried, but I don’t think they’re all that good at sales. They seem like nice people, but the other guy completely outclassed them, like Tyson Fury boxing Kevin Hart.

I may be able to deduct this expense because I rent out my pasture. Sure hope so. I plan to start running every small engine I have, every Thursday, from now on. Once everything is working, I’m going to keep it going without a lot of down time.

That’s the end of my tale of struggle and frustration. Even now, I deflate, breathe out, and sink into my recliner when I think about how relieved I am.

It’s going to be amazing to see everything on the property working.

The Messiah is Trustworthy; the Nations are Not

So now the United States is cutting off ammunition shipments to Israel.

How big a deal is this in relation to prophecy?

All the nations of the world will turn against Jerusalem, which means Israel. This is not my guess. It’s a fact. It’s as true as saying World War Two or the Great Depression happened. When God says something will happen, it’s done, regardless of how things look at the time.

God told us what would happen through the prophet Zechariah, during the 6th century BC.

When have all or even most of the nations of the world been against Israel? Never. Israel ceased to be a nation in 70 BC, and before that, it wasn’t possible for all the nations of the world to have much interaction with Israel. Many had no way of knowing it had ever existed.

The land we now call Israel was deeded over in 1948, and the nations of the world–the United Nations–were behind it. Until this month, at least, there has never been a time when it could truthfully be said that all the nations were against Israel. There were always some powerful allies. In recent decades, America has been number one.

Turning against Jerusalem would have been much less significant during the previous century, because foreigners refused to admit Jerusalem was Israel’s capital. Now Donald Trump has changed all that. America acknowledges Jerusalem’s proper status, so it’s much more clear that opposing Jerusalem is the same thing as opposing Israel as a whole.

It should also be noted that the term “Israel” doesn’t just refer to a place in the Middle East. It’s the proper name for the Jewish people, who are descendants of a man named Israel. The universe and God are patriarchal, and nations use to be named after their fathers.

America used to back Israel fairly consistently, but now a fearful, senile, dishonest, unintelligent, narcissistic old man in our White House is cutting off help to Israel because he knows Democrats can’t hold the presidency unless tens of millions of antisemites vote for their candidate a second time.

Their party has long been the main refuge of openly antisemitic groups and individuals. Most American Muslims are antisemitic, even if a much smaller number favors terrorism. Something like half of American blacks are antisemitic. Hispanics also have a high rate of antisemitism. Anyone who wants to pop up and say my claims are baseless can check The Washington Post, which agrees with me about blacks and Hispanics.

Conservatives are not protesting Israel. This is a generalization, but it’s based on solid facts, just like, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Virtually none of the antisemitic protestors and rioters ruling universities right now are conservative. American conservative Christians are the main reason our government is as good to Israel as it is. There are antisemitic Republicans, but their numbers and impact are inconsequential.

Jews also vote leftist, but how much do they matter? Jews make up about 2.4% of American voters. Blacks make up around 13%. Muslims make up about 1.1%. Hispanics make up about 19.1%. So around a third of American voters belong to groups that supply most of our antisemites, while Jews make up about 1/40.

Biden may be senile, but he probably understands simple fractions. If you want to prop up your tottering regime, it’s better to offend Jews than antisemites.

Biden is risking driving Jews off in order to hold onto his traditional base of antisemites. He has no choice, if he wants to be reelected.

This is yet another weird, unforeseen consequence of living in a time of razor-thin election margins. They pop up all the time in this age of perfect storms. Sinister synergy is all around us. With regard to elections themselves, they drive candidates to do evil things they would not have bothered with in the past.

He may also be aware that many Jews are self-hating and Jews figure prominently in the antisemitism movement. George Soros is helping fund it. Soros was born in Europe, where he collaborated with Nazis as a teen in order to stay alive. You would think a person who had been compelled to harm his own people and pretend to support Nazis would be enraged with antisemites for the rest of his life.

For a decent person, a situation like that would have been nearly unbearable, and it would have left deep wounds. Somehow Soros went through it and ended up supporting the people who libel Israel as an apartheid, genocidal state for striking back at existential threats from apartheid, genocidal states.

Biden must be aware that many Jews in America are on the side of the terrorists. Maybe that makes him and his handlers more willing to cut Israel loose. He will lose a lot of Jewish votes, but many Jews will be pleased with him and stick with him.

His campaign has done a mathematical analysis. Count on it.

What’s the bottom line? Is Biden’s latest move an indication that Zechariah 14 has started to blossom in earnest, or is it just another labor pain that will go away?

Last year the UN passed a ridiculous, unfair, unwise resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza war. In this context, “ceasefire” means the UN wanted Israel to stop defending itself and give its enemies a little time to regroup and reinforce before unilaterally breaking their word, as Islamists nearly always do. Only 8 nations apart from Israel and the US opposed the resolution, and 6 of them are little powerless countries.

Hamas, not Israel, was solely responsible for the “civilian” casualties among Gazans, and every leader on Earth knew it. A ceasefire would cost Israeli lives by helping Hamas regain strength, and they knew that, too. Israel still ended up with only 9 nations out of 193 on its side.

That’s not a good sign.

Hamas can surrender and stop the bloodshed, for which it bears all responsibility, at any time. Israel, on the other hand, needs to keep Hamas on the ropes so it can go in and utterly eradicate Hamas’s ability to do terrorism. These facts are obvious, but the world still sided against Israel.

Imagine a vote like this in June of 1945, with millions of Allied soldiers preparing to be killed, tortured, and imprisoned in Japan. It could never have happened. Spirits deceive the world about Israel because Satan hates Jews. Israel is special.

What we are seeing is a lot like the problem Israel had with the Amalekites. The Jews were commanded to exterminate every single one, including babies, but they disobeyed, and as a result, the descendants of the Amalekites continued to abuse Israel and are believed to continue to this day. Israel needs to blow up every single Gaza tunnel, confiscate every weapon bigger than a toothpick, and occupy Gaza while installing surveillance cameras and microphones on every block. The UN should occupy Gaza, but it won’t.

If Israel doesn’t do a thorough job, it will have to do the same job again very soon.

I think Zechariah’s words, and the words of Yeshua in the Revelation, are for this time. Israel will probably be overrun within a couple of years, and the rapture will come soon to save God’s children–servants of Yeshua who know the Holy Spirit–from the world. Yeshua said he would save loving Christians from the tribulation, which he calls “the hour of temptation.,” by lifting them off the earth.

Temptation is becoming too strong to be safely endured. We are provoked to anger constantly, along with lust, pride, greed, and the other faults that cause people to be lost. It’s becoming too dangerous for us here, and it’s unpleasant to be vexed, like Lot, by the disgusting behavior of mainstream people.

Even if the situation in Israel blows over for a few years, we will still have emerging generations of sick, twisted haters of Yeshua and Israel. Israel’s friends will die off like World War Two veterans until very few are left. When there are too few of us left to do anything, only God himself will back Israel.

Zechariah said that when Israel fell, the women would be raped and people would go into captivity. Hamas has already shown us that Islamists favor these tactics, so it’s obvious they will be used again all over the country when Israel is defeated. The attack on October 7 was a small-scale model, and we can look at it to predict the future.

Jews all over the world should be unified now, and they should be thinking as though they lived in Germany and Austria in 1930. They are way too undisturbed. They should not be playing around with leftist posing that becomes popular in times of luxury and safety. It’s time to go with what works, but they won’t do it.

Jews are not safe here. NOW. They should be reacting instead of screeching about the imaginary threat of Trump while paying their kids to protest and endanger Israel at colleges run by buffoons.

I can’t wait for this age to end. Americans are going to become more and more disgusting, and the walls of filth will continue to close in on the sane and the aware. It’s going to be like sharing a house with a pack of unhousetrained dogs.

Just not in the Way the Punks Want

I was reading the Bible and praying this morning, and I feel like I got a better understanding of how the Western world in 2024 resembles the disgusting cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis.

Yeshua visited Abraham, along with two other “men.” All three appeared as human beings. Abraham prepared meat for them, and they ate it, which is a good lesson for anyone who thinks God is a vegetarian opposed to all forms of killing. God himself ate veal with Abraham and two powerful cherubs, which are presumably the same cherubs depicted on the ark of the covenant.

Yeshua told Abraham he was going to look at Sodom and Gomorrah to see if the things he had been told were true. Realizing Yeshua intended to destroy these cities, and surely aware of the sexual perversion and cruelty that were going on, Abraham negotiated and got God to agree he would not destroy them if he found 10 righteous men there.

The cherubs went to Sodom, intending to stay in the street all night. Knowing what the San Franciscans and Hamasexuals of the time would do if they could, a horrified Lot begged them to stay in his home. Angels are said to be very beautiful, so they would have been irresistible to the homosexual rapists of Sodom.

The angels agreed, and Lot made them a feast. He served unleavened bread, showing that there wasn’t much time to prepare. This is a parallel to the story of the Passover, another instance of God saving his people by separating them from the incorrigibly wicked.

The homosexual rapists went to Lot’s house like a BLM mob and demanded that the angels be sent out to be raped. They expressly stated their intentions. Lot offered his two virgin daughters instead and begged the perverts to leave the angels alone. The homosexual rapists in the mob decided to treat Lot worse than the angels, and they tried to pull him outside. They showed no interest in normal sex, if rape can be called normal, with the females.

But for the angels, Lot would have been stripped naked and sodomized to death in front of his own house, with his household looking on.

The angels struck the homosexuals blind and told Lot to gather his family and let the angels take them out of the city.

Lot had at least 4 daughters. No sons were mentioned. He had at least two married daughters. Their husbands thought Lot was joking when he tried to get them to leave, so they were under some kind of supernatural spell. Lot left with his wife and two virgin daughters.

Lot’s wife disobeyed God and her husband and looked back during the trip, so she died and was turned into salt. She was destroyed by female rebellion.

It looks like God was willing to spare Sodom for one righteous person, Lot, instead of holding out for 10. Lot’s daughters got him drunk later and committed incest with him, so they probably were not considered righteous.

It may be that there were other righteous people in the group. Lot was wealthy, so he had servants, and his servants would have had families. Judaism and Christianity are patriarchal, and the Old Testament is full of figures who led big households and had servants. If there were other righteous people in the group, they are not mentioned. It is common for the Bible to mention patriarchs without mentioning all the people who lived and traveled with them.

Homosexuals like to say Sodom was not destroyed because of their perversion, but this is not true. The Bible says the sin of Sodom was selfishness, but in Jude, it also says Sodom was destroyed for sexual sin. Also, the New Testament says homosexual acts between men are worthy of death. See Romans. There were plenty of reasons to destroy Sodom.

The main conclusion is that evil societies have earned the death sentence, but God spares them total annihilation because righteous people live in them along with the wicked. This is why God hasn’t destroyed the world a second time yet.

Another conclusion is that God will rain destruction and agony on evil societies right away, once the people who belong to him are clear.

We now live in a world where sexual sin, including some of the most disgusting varieties, is endorsed by many huge nations. We generally haven’t committed to bestiality, incest, and child rape, but these things are getting more common, and “activists” are pushing to normalize them.

The nice thing about this deliverance story, which is a warning about the tribulation, is that it shows that destruction is not for everyone. You can avoid it if you are close to God. The tribulation can’t come while God’s children are still here.

I also read about “dignities.” Jude says God has it in for people who revile them.

Speaking of backward Christians like the prosperity preachers and homosexual clergy, Jude said:

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

So what is a “dignity”? The Greek word is doxa, which is vague. It can mean something like glory or a glorious individual. A person imbued with God’s glory.

Some people say it refers to Satan and other fallen spirits, because Jude says:

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Some people say you can’t rebuke a foul spirit or speak evil of them. If that’s true, then you have to wonder why the Bible calls them impure and unclean. It also says we will cast them out, and it says we will tread on them.

To me, it appears that Jude was saying that if Michael was careful even when addressing the lowest of the low, human beings could cause themselves terrible trouble by speaking evil of people who speak for God.

Yeshua, John the Baptist, and the authors of the New Testament said terrible things about corrupt Jewish religious leaders, who were appointed by the Romans for money. They called them vipers and sons of hell, for example. They called them fools, comparing them to the retarded and the insane. They also used disparaging terms to describe sinners and people who didn’t listen. Clearly, then, “dignities” does not refer to all religious leaders or all people.

Based on my knowledge of the whole Bible, I believe Jude was criticizing punks in general. God hates punks. Christians love to say God loves everyone, but the Bible says otherwise. For example, it says he hates all workers of iniquity, and since he poured burning sulfur on the cities of the plain, it certainly looks like he hated the people who remained there after Lot left. I don’t think he loved them. Why would you pour burning sulfur on people you love?

In 2 Kings 2:23-24, God mutilated a bunch of children whose only known crime was making fun of Elisha, his anointed prophet. God, not Satan, brought two bears out to tear them open. In Deuteronomy 21, God told the Jews they could have worthless, rebellious children who ignored their parents executed by stoning, which really hurts and rips people’s heads open. God commanded the Jews to honor their parents, even though he did not say they had to love them, and the penalty was to live under curses, including premature death.

Punks have grandiose self-images which contrast starkly with their merits. They have no respect for people and spirits who are better than they are. They have no empathy. They take pleasure in sadism. They honor the vile, including spirits that hate God. They love to destroy. They persecute and steal from people who build. They can’t build anything for themselves. They reject the wisdom and commands of God and their betters. They love lying, and they punish and kill those who tell them the truth. They accuse better people of things they haven’t done, while denying their own egregious sins. They project their own evil onto people who are better than they are.

It sounds like God has it in for exactly the kind of people who are destroying and taking over America right now. We are inundated with punks who can’t receive correction. To make things worse, they pour out false correction.

God describes some people as worthless.

In the story of Naboth, Jezebel hires two worthless men to testify falsely against him. They said he had cursed God and King Ahab. Why did she do this? Ahab wanted Naboth’s vineyard, which Naboth had built, and Naboth did not want to sell. You can see how Jezebel resembles today’s leftist punks. Someone else built something and owned it, and she wanted it, so she made a lying accusation, destroyed the builder, and took what he built. Ahab got reparations.

The Bible uses the phrase “sons of Belial” to describe the false witnesses. Belial is a worthless spirit. His name means “worthless.” In the Bible, to be called the son of someone is to be said to be like him.

In the Old Testament, God calls the sons of Eli worthless. In Judges 19, God refers to the members of a Jewish homosexual rape mob in Gibeah as worthless, and later on, their tribe is wiped out.

“Belial” refers to Satan, who is, himself, worthless.

The Bible also uses the word “unprofitable” to describe worthless people. No matter what you do for them, they don’t change and become assets to the kingdom of God. In other words, they do not listen.

I have often said that God told me, “Hell is not full of ‘bad people.’ It’s full of people who don’t listen.” Hell is full of priests, rabbis, and popes who didn’t listen, but there are former rapists and murderers in heaven.

The children defiling our cities by testifying falsely against Jews, whites, men, Christians, conservatives, America, people who have assets, and everything and everyone else they can slander are children of Belial. They are making themselves worthless. The adults in government, the press, and the arts who support them are making themselves worthless. The world is filling up with worthless people who torment people who have humility and want to obey Yeshua.

The world is becoming unprofitable. God showed me that this is what precedes and motivates the rapture and the tribulation. God looks down, sees that traditional evangelism no longer produces a sufficient profit, notices that his people are being abused terribly without a good return on the investment, and pulls his children out. Then his fury pours out almost as it did on Sodom, except that he softens the blow enough to let some people live and change their minds.

Think of a grain of wheat. Most of it is worthless as food. The part that keeps you alive, and which has life in it, is in the interior. The husk is dead. This is why God compares worthless people to chaff. In tribulation, a tribulum crushes the husks of grain and removes them from the useful part, and then the husks are blown away and burned.

The kids in the tent camps are committing the sin Jude spoke of. They are reviling dignities. Their elders, Yahweh, people of good character, Christians, anyone who is anointed…everyone whose counsel can save them from hell.

Satan’s leftist and Islamist dupes now have cursed lives because they have done what the kids who made fun of Elisha did. In the supernatural realm, spirits are coming out to do the work of the bears. They won’t maul them, but they will do worse things. They will bring them things like poverty, addiction, criminal convictions, perversion, diseases, and the shortening of their lives, and the Islamists and kids who don’t repent will burn in the lake of fire forever.

Ironically, the people they abused will get reparations, and the world will be free, which is reminiscent of the slanderous chant about the river, the sea, and Palestine.

The Bible says Lot was vexed and oppressed in Sodom. Does that sound familiar? The chant kids and their allies vex decent people all day, every day. They get us fired from jobs. They ruin our businesses. They put their hands on us. They take over our schools. They dox and terrorize us. They demonize us. Because they have made themselves worthless by shutting their ears and praising themselves, there is nothing we can do to change them, so we sit at a distance and watch and wait for the end.

Of course they complain of genocide. They’re right in a way they don’t understand. God is going to commit genocide against them.

Israel is not genocidal, and the Jews didn’t steal land. The Jews begged the Arabs to stay in 1948, and other Arabs forced them to leave and to turn to actual genocide, which continues to this day. But God really is genocidal. He has done it before, and he will do it again. The punks falsely accuse their betters of genocide, and they deny the obvious antisemitic genocide they are calling for, and God himself will eventually do what they accuse Israel of doing. The punks will not be here for long.

It may sound strange to call God genocidal, but it’s obvious and undeniable. Read about the flood. Read about Sodom. Read Exodus. Read the Revelation. It shouldn’t be controversial.

We are not going to cleanse the world by buying rifles and ammunition. Cleansing the world is not our job, and we can’t do it anyway. God himself will do it. God told Yeshua to sit at his right hand while he made Yeshua’s enemies his footstool. He never told Yeshua to stand on his front porch and shoot people.

Satan Cribs Again

The other day I was reading Zechariah, and I believe I saw where, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” came from.

This slogan is a call for the murder of every Jew in Israel and the theft of every hectare of land.

Satan is like Joe Biden: a plagiarist. He can’t come up with anything original. He always copies God. It appears he came up with the pro-genocide slogan to mock what God said through Zechariah.

In discussing the Messianic Age, which is the period that follows the tribulation and in which Yeshua is physically present on Earth to rule, God said this:

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Satan wants to rule through the Antichrist, so naturally, he stole words predicting the rule of the Christ; the Messiah.

Old Hippies Get What They Sowed For

When I was a student at Columbia College, my friends and I did a lot of stupid things.

Columbia has a round disk of stone and brass in the center of the Morningside campus. It’s just the right height to sit on. For some reason, I have always remembered it as having decorative panels featuring zodiac signs, but Wikipedia says they actually depict phases of the day. People call it the sundial, but it doesn’t indicate the time. It’s flat on top, so there is nothing on it to cast a shadow.

When I was at Columbia, the kids used to have a fake Satanic sacrifice on the sundial every year. I think they did it at midnight. They would find a girl who pretended to be a virgin, and a guy would dress as the devil and pretend to sacrifice her while she lay on the sundial. I would love to tell you more about a couple of the actors who participated in this, but I suppose it wouldn’t be a good idea, since they are real people.

I wasn’t part of the sacrifice crew, but I did show up, probably drunk, to watch.

We also watched pornographic movies the university helped sponsor. There was a building called Ferris Booth, and it had a big area that could be filled with tables. Musical acts could perform there. One year, some organization showed Bel Ami and Behind the Green Door there, and I was in attendance. Definitely drunk.

It’s hard to believe, but there was once so little porn, people actually recognized the names of movies.

I got arrested once for grabbing a bookdrop in front of Butler Library, pulling it over on its face, and dragging it some distance. Drunk. I was wearing a pair of fake glasses, and I had been to a Heineken promotion. I had a giant plastic promotional bottle cap stuck to one lens as I tried to sweet-talk the campus cops and convince them I was a responsible person who didn’t need to accompany them to their offices.

My friends and I set off a lot of fireworks at Columbia. We released live crabs in an elevator. We saved two turtles from a Chinatown wet market and put them in the university’s decorative fountains.

I took a vertebrate anatomy course. I was given a dead cat. The building I lived in had an elevator with a panel that was missing one button. There was just a hole. I took the cat’s severed tail and stuck it in the hole so it looked like the the rest of the cat had been sucked through it.

We did plenty of stupid things, but we never took over a building for the purpose of slandering Israel and threatening and assaulting Jewish students, and we never took any university employees and made them our hostages. It appears the current crop of students has done these things. They took over Hamilton Hall, a classroom building.

Hamilton was the site of a lot of useless classes in subjects such as literature and history. Even back then, you could learn all you wanted about literature and history by going to a library, and now, you can learn using free materials on the web. You can even watch lectures, which are just as effective as lectures attended in person. You don’t really need to pay $10,000 to read and understand 10 novels.

If memory serves, there were also some classes which had more reason to exist. Language classes, for example. Still, you can go to Berlitz and pay a lot less than $10,000 for a class. You can use a phone app for nearly nothing.

Overall, Hamilton was a place where people went to waste their parents’s money and prepare for careers as fungible white-collar workers in cubicles. Either that, or they could become academics and help future parents waste their money.

Now they are wasting their parents’s money (and your money, thanks to Biden’s loan schemes) trying to destroy the only refuge the world’s Jews have and contributing to the destruction of the Jews themselves.

A sexually convoluted former student named Khymani James appears to be one of the leaders of the revolt. James was expelled recently for calling for the murders of people who supported Israel.

When I wrote about James earlier, I expressed dismay that Columbia had not reigned him in, but now I see that it has. My question: why?

When I was at Columbia, it was not long after the famous Columbia riots. I think these took place in ’68 and ’72, but I am not going to bother to look it up. Students rioted because of the Vietnam War or something. Maybe they were mad because their parents made them eat vegetables. Like Marlon Brando said in The Wild One, “What do you got?”

Rebels often preexist their causes.

Faculty members who had participated in the riots were admired. They were proud of it. Students looked up to rioters. There was a sense that we had missed out, and were somehow inferior to the rioters, because we hadn’t been there.

I think this atmosphere of willful, infantile stupidity contributed to what’s happening at Columbia now. I think the kids who are abusing Jews and damaging property are excited because now they, too, have rioter status.

Columbia is a lawless place. It encourages civil disobedience, which is nothing but lawlessness. It’s crime. You’re supposed to use the First Amendment and the voting booth to manipulate society. You’re not supposed to commit crimes. Blocking traffic, throwing paint on people in fur coats, and taking hostages are cheating.

People who do civil disobedience are election deniers. They want to deprive people who vote against them of their constitutionally-provided power.

I’m sure the administration loves lawlessness. I don’t think a person who didn’t love it could get hired in Columbia’s culture. So how come they expelled bro Khymani? Why are they now suspending other students?

My guess: it’s all about the do-re-mi.

Columbia’s student body has been heavily Jewish for decades, and it’s not an “antisemitic trope” to say there are a lot of very wealthy Jews. It’s a fact. It’s also not a trope to say Jews are big philanthropists. Many Jews have left Columbia, done well for themselves, and (mysteriously, to me) gone on to make multimillion-dollar donations. Now some of them have turned off the tap.

If billionaire Muslims were Columbia donors, and they were threatening to cut off the cash if Columbia bothered the brats, would Khymani still be a trespasser instead of a student? I wonder. Columbia has tolerated all sorts of hateful speech, including threats, for years. Hateful speech is not new there. What’s new is responding to it with disciplinary measures.

I’m not impressed by Columbia’s sudden decision to do what they should have done long ago. I think they’re just whoring out. In America, this is what college administrations do. They admit stupid rich kids whose parents donate. They rename old buildings named after great men for anyone who will write a check. I think Columbia is just changing course because, while it was fun to pretend to be warriors, things looked different when they started hearing metaphorical bullets whizzing by their ears. It’s always fun to be a social justice warrior when it requires no guts whatsoever, and it actually enhances your income and prestige, as any famous actor could tell you. When there is a cost, only the sincere remain standing, and they are few in number.

I don’t know if oppressed black trans Khymani will be arrested for what appear to be crimes like trespassing, battery, false imprisonment, and vandalism, as privileged white me was arrested for the very serious crime of knocking over a book drop, but I’m pretty certain that if he or she is, there will be no bail and no trial. This is Manhattan, where you can be fined half a billion dollars for negotiating with a bank, but you can literally shoplift and be arrested 5 times in the same day if you hustle.

I can’t believe I chose to go to Columbia. What was I thinking? I wish I could go visit my high school senior self and punch him in the face.

Is it antisemitic to say a person looks Jewish?

I ask because I saw a remarkable video about antisemitic protests in New York.

The answer to the question is “no.” It is not antisemitic to say a person looks Jewish, any more than it is wrong to say a person looks Far Eastern or white.

Google photos of Barbra Streisand and deceased New York mayor Ed Koch. Case closed.

Yesterday, I saw an amazing thing. There was a protest at NYU, in New York City. This, incidentally, is a backup school for kids who can’t get into Columbia.

Someone interviewed a couple of girls who were visiting from Columbia. They were very gung ho about protesting Israel. One girl wore a mask to hide her identity and insulate her from repercussions from her shameful, idiotic behavior. The other showed her face. No question about it. She is Jewish.

The person with the camera asked them about their objections to what was happening in Gaza, and they admitted they didn’t know much of anything about the situation! But there they were, protesting and fanning the flames of antisemitism. One said she wished she were better educated. I wish that for her, too.

In various places on the web, I have been asserting without proof that Jews were out there protesting Israel along with the other antisemites, and now you see why I was bold enough to do that. If the Jewish people were one person, he would have been on suicide and self-harm watch since leaving Egypt. The Jews have a long history of helping their enemies and fighting their friends. I knew some of them would support Hamas. Questioning it would have been asinine.

Dathan has more children than Moses.

Why do I say “the other antisemites”? Because Jews who join the protests are antisemites. Jews can be antisemites if they want.

In related news, a black man named Khymani James, who claims to be some other flavor of sexual being (unclear) is getting attention for calling for Zionists (like me and, for that matter, God) to be murdered.

James is a typical Columbia student. He gets attention by saying stupid things that impress leftists who have no brains. He has said, “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” Defending his remarks later, he said, “I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.” He supports the murder of Benjamin Netanyahu.

He also says he carries a gun, even though there is no way he has a permit.

Far as anyone can tell, this dangerous nut is still a student in good standing. Columbia will not reveal what, if any, discipline he has faced. They made me leave for a year for shooting harmless bottle rockets out of a window, so now you have a basis to form ideas about their priorities.

Finally, in today’s list of horrors, a genocidal crank at George Washington University in DC was spotted carrying the Palestinian flag and a sign calling for the “final solution.” This phrase, for all you kids who were educated by false-breast-wearing men and Tiktok, refers to the murder of every single Jew on Earth. This is the “solution,” and Jews are the problem.

Their EXISTENCE, not their behavior, is the problem that must be fixed, according to the guy with the sign.

The man with the sign was not attacked or driven off, as far as I can tell from the news. That means he’s better off than Jews who have been attacked by racist protesters like the Jewish girl at NYU, and he’s also better off than the Jew in London who was told by racist police to leave a rage-filled protest because he was disturbing the peace.

I wonder what peace the police were referring to.

People who don’t know the Holy Spirit have no idea what’s going on. It has never been about coexistence. Ever since the human race was contaminated by servants of Satan, it has been about exterminating the people who belong to Yahweh. People, including many Jews, think the turmoil will end if there is enough appeasement. Give the savages this piece of land and that piece of land. They’ll be satisfied. That’s not how it works. The other side’s goal is to end Jewish existence, and they also want to remove Christians from the world.

Jews love to appease. They keep giving things away. They even gave the Egyptians the entire Sinai peninsula, which contains oil wells, after the Egyptians lost it in a racist war of aggression.

American Jews are the worst appeasers, because they are terrible virtue-signalers, and because they don’t have to deal with terrorism every day, the way Israelis do. They think their grandchildren will live in big houses in New Jersey and Miami, holding hands and singing Joni Mitchell songs with the friendly gentiles they have pacified. They think October 7 was just a speed bump. A temporary disturbance that will be put behind them, just like the 1948 war.

What’s happening now will wake some, but not most, of them up. Suddenly, the threat of terrorism and genocide isn’t a far-off thing that only happens to crazy zealots who leave rich America and Europe to live in a shaky country where they make you serve in the army and you can’t get a decent bagel. Now you have to ask yourself if you want to wear your yarmulke when you go out for lunch. Is it worth risking a beating? You have to ask yourself if your kids should go to Columbia, the best school in New York State, where they may be spat on and otherwise abused.

Columbia has long been a haven for Jews. A pogrom at Columbia is like a Trump rally in Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s not a speed bump. It’s not going to blow over. It’s going to get worse.

The New Testament, which is not read by many Jews even though it’s a Jewish book written by Jews and for Jews, about a Jewish God, explains what is happening.

Yeshua, the rejected Jewish Messiah, has now been rejected by the vast majority of gentiles as well as Jews. The 2000-year period of evangelism is over. If the world were a restaurant, employees would be putting chairs on the tables right now.

Satan has received the popular vote once again, and Yeshua is returning as an election denier. God hates elections. He hates democracy, which came to us from boy-molesting Greeks. God is a monarch, and he is returning to claim his kingdom.

The Bible says the tribulation will be terrible, because Satan knows his time is short. When the tribulation ends, he will be bound in hell for a millennium, so he is getting his last licks in now. He is throwing a tantrum like a leftist protester who doesn’t want to go into a police van.

Satan is even more furious than usual, and he is also terrified. He is going to do as much harm to Jews and Christians as he can before his humiliation begins.

Jewish religious authorities haven’t heard from the Holy Spirit since about 400 BC, so they have no idea what’s going on. They make wild guesses for a living, and a lot of their work is based on the faulty, blasphemous premise that Yeshua is not the Messiah and not God, although Isaiah said he was both. If Jews still heard from the Holy Spirit, as they used to, they would be talking about the end and the millennium just as Christians are.

They don’t know the Bible well. Not even the Old Testament. They are taught not to study it too much. They are told that if they try to understand it without help, they will just get themselves in trouble. They might even come to the horrible conclusion that Yeshua is who he says he is.

They listen to arrogant old men who read what other arrogant old men have written. Wow…am I writing about the Jews or about most Christians? Same thing. Most Christians are in the same boat. That’s why we have homosexual priests. I mean the kind who admit they’re homosexual.

The Old Testament says to meditate on God’s word, which is the Bible. The rabbis say to meditate on the Talmud, the Zohar, the Gemara, and the Kabbalah. Hmm.

If God’s word is good, why is it better to read things Jews wrote after God destroyed their nation? Obviously, those Jews were doing something wrong.

Spammers used to try to sell me Oprah’s diet tips. Oprah was enormous. Depending on the year and month, she might have been as big as 250 pounds. She finally lost weight at the age of 70, way too late to enjoy it, by taking a drug and lying about it, while serving on the board of Weight Watchers and urging other people to rely on discipline.

The spammers still thought I would buy her diet tips. It’s a bad idea. It would be like listening to clergymen who haven’t heard from God in 2400 years.

It’s going to get worse. The Holocaust is starting up again. New York and Miami Beach aren’t going to protect anyone. Judging by Zechariah 14, neither will Israel. It’s a very bad time to double down on rejecting Yeshua and the Holy Spirit.

Yard and Household Junk Fills in for Professional Models

As part of my preparation for a foreign trip which has been either delayed or canceled due to the difficulty of getting a visa for my wife, I improved my camera equipment. I got a better strap for my Canon 200D, and I got two zooms. A 10-18mm and an 18-135mm. I have been fooling with them. Might as well learn how to shoot, even if I have to do it in my yard for the time being.

The theory behind buying lenses for a 2017 camera which is not as good as my 2023 camera is that the 200D is lighter and would be less painful to lose than the new one. It will take excellent photos, even if the new camera might do somewhat better. Sometimes excellent is good enough.

I thought the wide lens would be good for indoor pictures in certain circumstances. You don’t always have the ability to back up far enough to take a scene in with a long lens, so you can lose shots. Someone questioned my choice, wondering why anyone would travel with a wide lens. I don’t know much about the subject, but it seems to me anyone who spends a lot on important trips would want versatility instead of falling back on a cell phone to take shots his camera’s only lens couldn’t handle.

I figured the longer zoom would be very, very versatile, so even if it didn’t give me the absolute best image quality, it would be a good choice for travel. Again, excellent can be okay.

As for what “best,” means, I don’t know. A lot of people are obsessed with super-sharp photos, and the zoom I turned down when I got the 18-135mm is sharp. It looks like a lot of lenses that aren’t considered very sharp these days are actually sharper than overly-picky people let on. Also, there is a program called Topaz that can improve the apparent sharpness of photos. I guess it’s a cheat, but then every digital camera is a big box of cheat.

There is a lot more to good photography than brutal sharpness, and sometimes you want a photo to be a little less forward-looking.

A lot of history’s best-loved photos aren’t extremely sharp.

I took a few shots with each lens. I’ll be trying to do more.

I really like photography, and I should have gotten more deeply into it 18 years ago, when I got my first real DSLR. Had I done that, I would have a huge collection of great photos now, and I would know more about creating great photos.

Here’s something weird: editing and looking at my own photos is extremely relaxing. I don’t know why. I can sit and stare at a photo I shot for a long time, feeling my blood pressure drop, even if the photo isn’t really good. This isn’t true of every photo I take, but it’s true of the ones that have some not-always-definable qualities I like.

I was desperate for things to shoot today. The light was fading when I started, and there wasn’t much out there. Or maybe I didn’t have the imagination to see what was out there. I took some shots of a few objects to see what the lens could do.

When I came in, I fiddled with editing software. I have started shooting raw files, which means my camera saves files just as it sees them. Ordinarily, cameras save in formats like jpg, which are actually pre-edited by the cameras to make them look better. A jpg may look nice, but when a jpg is created, you lose a lot of data, and that limits what you can do when you edit.

I wanted editing software so I could shoot raw, so I looked for advice, and I ended up getting Adobe Photoshop Elements. I don’t like it. The interface makes no sense at all, so I am constantly having to figure out how to do what I want to do.

Another problem: for some reason, Adobe’s program damages raw files as you edit. When you edit a text document, there is no permanent change until you save it. When you edit a photo with Photoshop, the file is changed, so you lose things. That’s annoying. There has to be some reason for it, but it sounds stupid to me.

Right now, I’m trying Affinity Photo 2, a competitor’s program. Unlike Photoshop, it can be bought. You can only rent Photoshop, and it costs $10 per month. Next year, it will probaby cost more. You can get Affinity Photo 2 a lot cheaper, paying only once.

My understanding is that Photoshop is better, but I’m not a pro, and I’m not doing extreme things. I crop and fiddle with color and sharpness and so on. I’m not trying to simulate psilocybin trips. I may end up buying Photo 2.

I think Adobe’s Lightroom would have been better than Photoshop. I made a good effort to find out what I needed, and Photoshop came out on top, but now I think I was wrong. Lightroom is supposed to be less powerful but easier to use, and it helps you organize photos. Lightroom is another rent-only program, so I am averse to trying it.

You know what they say. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.” Yeah, and arbacht macht frei. Saying something stupid to people you want to control doesn’t make it true.

I like owning stuff.

I’ll put up a few photos I really like looking at. First, the 10-18mm zoom, and then the 18-135mm.

Here is a hat I bought in Cancun, along with a 2006 DSLR lens I haven’t been able to cleanse of cockatoo dust.

Don’t ask me why. I enjoy looking at it. The composition could be better, and the only story the photo tells is, “I needed to take a picture to test a lens,” but I still like it.

I took a shot of a tire inflator in my workshop. It’s sort of a macro shot, which is not what you should do with a wide lens, but it was there, so I took the picture. The detail is not too bad, considering. The shot you see is not as clear as the original, because I reduced the size a great deal so I could post it.

These shots were edited, painfully, with Photoshop.

While I was shooting with the 18-135mm, I found a few objects I could use. Once again, I acted like I had a macro lens. I shot a couple of magnolia blossoms. I edited the shots in Photo 2.

I didn’t think much of these photos when I took them. I was just trying to see what the lens would do. After I edited them, though, I found them oddly engrossing.

I boosted the color a little, and I increased “clarity,” which may be the same thing as sharpness for all I know. Jacking up clarity brought out the weird veiny features in the petals. If you bring them out too much, the blossoms start to look like something from a Frankenstein movie.

They don’t really look like they do in these photos, and I guess that’s what makes photography an art.

The lens I used is not supposed to create bokeh, the creamy blurriness you see in the background of the second shot, but I tried to create it, and I got it. Not sure how that happened.

I thought these shots would be terrible, because I wasn’t thinking much about composition and so on, but they’re much more pleasing than expected.

I’m going to try to get out there and shoot more stuff. I have a habit of shooting small things, because the big things I have around here aren’t that interesting. I need to try to make them interesting.

I think this is a great hobby for people who want to decorate their houses but don’t want to spend a lot on art. A good original photo, blown up to painting size, runs about $17, and it’s a lot more interesting than a cheesy Van Gogh print or a lithograph by some artist who never sold anything for more than $500 except maybe a lawnmower on Craigslist.

If you photograph people you care about, so much the better.

I don’t plan to put photos of the wife up here, but we have 4 huge photos of us on our walls, and there will be more. I also have shots of friends and their kids, as well as my pets.

This is not a hard hobby. It may be hard for me to create pictures other people like or respect, but I can take photos I like all day long.

“How Dare You Try to Shore up Our Faltering Economies?”

The wife and I won’t be going to Europe any time soon.

As noted in many earlier posts, the Europeans do not like it when Africans try to visit. Admittedly, Africans have a bad history as tourists, because people from West Africa tend to stay in Europe hiding from the law until they die, but Europeans respond to the threat in pretty stupid ways. Instead of looking at each case individually, they accept applications, throw them in the trash as soon as the applicants leave their offices, wait a few days or weeks while only pretending to look at the applications, and then tell the applicants they were rejected for this or that unfounded reason.

How do I know this? Funny you should ask.

My wife has made several applications for visas for the Schengen Area, which covers most of the EU. Every application was rejected. This includes the visa the lying Italians assured her we would get if she paid for tickets in advance.

Every single time she applied, they took her fingerprints as part of the pretend-examination farce.

Schengen countries are required by law to hold onto all biometric information supplied by visa applicants for 59 months, regardless of whether the applications are accepted or rejected. As noted above, she was forced to supply fingerprints at least 5 times. This can’t happen if the applications are actually entered into the system, to which all Schengen countries are hooked up.

They didn’t enter her biometric information in their system, so it was definitely discarded, so they didn’t actually examine her applications. But they pretended to. Italy, Sweden, Germany, Czechia, Austria…they all lied.

If they lied to my wife, they lie to just about everyone. They make exceptions for celebrities, politicians, some scholars who are invited, and probably some very rich people. Everyone else presumably gets the fraudulent process, and all the countries collect fees for doing nothing and lying to people, most of whom are of modest means.

All of her rejected efforts were filed while she lived in Africa, before she had a green card, so we figured things would get easier once she got here. Turns out there are still problems. It may be that the Schengen countries are more likely to accept permanent residents. I don’t know. Even if a green card helps, these people do such a bad job of providing information, it’s still very hard to get an application filed.

We decided to try applying to Greece, which has an consulate less than a light year away, unlike the other European countries a person might actually want to visit (i.e. not Latvia, Estonia, Albania…). It was important to us to use a consulate that was not far off, because they seriously require people to show up for interviews. They haven’t heard of Zoom.

The Greeks have a website full of information which, if relied on by applicants, is sure to get their applications rejected. If you email them with questions, they tell you nothing. We did get a call from some nice lady who worked there, and that was wonderful, but it was a one-time thing, and it was not enough.

They require a bunch of things. Travel medical insurance in excess of $30,000. Flight and hotel information. The original passport. A passport photo. Proof of financial ability to cover the trip. Three bank statements. An itinerary.

Our application was in trouble from the time we left the house, because my wife failed to check and make sure she brought her passport. That’s on us. Her, I mean. I could not believe it. But we had no chance anyway, because they required things the website did not mention.

I did offer to bring the passport the following morning, which was a reasonable offer they should have taken.

They wanted proof of my income, in the form of W-2’s. I don’t have a job, thankyouJesusthankyouJesusthankyouJesus. Okay, they wanted proof I received Social Security. I’m not that old yet. Okay, they wanted my last three tax returns. This was not on their site. They just dropped it on us when we got there. Of course, I just pulled two returns out of one ear and the remaining one out of a top hat I had brought with me. Yeah.

I actually had to ask them whether they needed entire returns. They were not going to tell me. I didn’t want to bring in a stack of papers. Oh, no, they said. Just the first two pages. It’s beyond belief I had to ask.

They also said assets don’t matter. So if you put 10 billion dollars in your travel checking account, it doesn’t prove you can pay for a trip to Greece and back. But if you earn $2000 per month at Walmart, you’re clearly wealthy enough to travel.

They want bank statements, but they say they don’t help. What are they for?

I’m not going to tell the world what I have, but I can show a consulate I have way more in terms of liquid assets than anyone would need to finance three weeks in the second world. If I didn’t, I could not be paying for foreign trips.

Does not matter.

Incidentally, this means you can’t go to Europe during a given year until you file your taxes. If you file an extension, you can’t get a visa until the return is filed. If you think you’re going to go to Europe, make sure you file before you apply, or get an appointment before April 15.

The amazing thing about all this is that you can put whatever you want on a tax return and give it to the consulate. You can take Turbotax and create a bogus return in an hour. Creating fake bank and brokerage statements is way harder.

I doubt you can get in trouble here in the US for falsifying an application for a foreign visa. The US doesn’t care about other countries’ immigration laws, and I don’t think the elements of criminal fraud would be satisfied due to the lack of monetary damages. Also, tax returns are confidential, so foreigners should be unable to verify their contents. I should claim to be a famous rapper and submit returns saying I made half a billion every year.

Floyd Mayweather supposedly took a $27 million check from a fight and put it in his checking account. Supposedly, he does not invest, so he has no regular income. If he were a green card holder from Kenya, he could never go to Europe. But if he were a green card holder from Kenya with $5000 in his checking account and a job managing a Papa John’s, he would have a shot.

Regarding our air travel plans, they said I could not just show up with something I had written, to prove we had flights. That was confusing, because I had supplied them with printouts from Orbitz, proving we had paid in advance for flights to and from Europe. These tickets cost something like a grand more than nonrefundable tickets, but I knew what I was up against when I bought them, so I spent the extra money.

Before the process started, they warned us not to actually buy tickets in advance. They said they just needed reservations. That mystified me, because reservations are things that have not existed for maybe 40 years. You either buy a ticket, or you have nothing.

In the past, other Schengeners have accepted “dummy tickets,” which are worthless tickets fabricated by travel agents. I thought actual tickets would be better than dummy tickets, which are clearly fraudulent by their very nature.

I paid for our hotels and rental units in advance, too. I thought that would impress them. Paid for, not just reserved.

I could not understand the consulate lady’s objections, so I kept questioning her in hopes of doing things right the next time. Finally, she gave me an explanation I understood, and which could possibly be correct, although I’ll bet it’s not.

She said the problem was with our INTERNAL flights. I had not booked flights between countries in Europe, thinking that PAID hotel bills would make it pretty clear we would be in various places at certain times. She said they needed to see the flights in order to show how long we would be in each country.

When she said I had just written down whatever I wanted, she was referring to the itinerary I drafted. Her objection made no sense at all. Our paid flights were documented by Orbitz receipts, and in the itinerary, I made no claims at all. I said we hadn’t chosen flights yet, assuming it was obvious we did not intend to walk across Europe in a couple of hours.

You can see how crazy the concern about internal flights is. If I have a hotel room booked in Greece on the morning of the 23rd, and I have another hotel room booked in Germany on the night of the 23rd, obviously, I will be in Greece in the morning and Germany in the evening, because I don’t want to lose hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Obvious, obvious, obvious. Whether I choose to use a train, a plane, a hot air balloon, or a camel to make the move doesn’t matter.

Well, it mattered to her.

A hotel booking is much stronger than a plane ticket. I can buy a ticket from Athens to Zurich any time I want. They’re abundant. I can cancel. I can rebook. No problem. Hotels don’t work like that. The supply of good hotels dries up fast, so once you get one you like, you do whatever you can to hold onto your booking. You are married to it. But try and tell the Europeans–the professionals who evaluate visa applications for a living–that.

I bought us medical insurance from American Express. I thought this company’s reputation was unimpeachable. The consulate told us it was no good because it did not expressly say “valid throughout the Schengen Area” on the documentation I gave them.

That blew my mind. How many visas has Greece processed? Millions. And they want tourist money, because their economy can’t survive without it. They should know a lot by now. We are not the first people who have used American Express. It should be very, very obvious that if American Express provides TRAVEL insurance to an AMERICAN and his PERMANENT RESIDENT wife, it covers them while they TRAVEL. Where do most Americans go when they travel overseas? EUROPE. They should know this by now.

I get it; they’re not Americans. But they live and work here, they know what American Express is, and as experienced consulate workers, they ought to know what American Express travel insurance is. If not, they should let you use your phone to print out additional information at the consulate instead of sending you home to try again in 6 months, by which time you will have given up or gone somewhere much nicer than Greece.

If I had bought bogus insurance through a fringe company like Heymondo, it would have cost much less, the documents would have assured that it covered us everywhere in Europe, and if we had ever presented a claim, it would have been denied, because Heymondo doesn’t pay claims. But Greece would have taken it. Other countries have. Worthless insurance costing $11 would have worked, but $41 insurance from the most respected travel company in the history of the universe was presumed ineffective.

I should not have to struggle to get a visa for my wife. We are well off. We have clean records. She has a green card. We live on a wonderful property in a wonderful county, so we don’t want to live in a depressing apartment in Athens or Rome. We have been to 6 foreign countries, and we returned home on time in every case. We did our best to follow the rules, and I’m a lawyer. If I can’t get it right, what chance do most people have?

We brought information they didn’t ask for on the website. I thought I was displaying exemplary caution. Our international driving permits. My passport. My driver’s license. My wife’s Zambian ID card and driver’s license. Our Global Entry cards.

When they saw my wife’s superfluous stuff, they told us they didn’t want it. They seemed to think we brought it because we were stupid or didn’t understand English, but we were just trying to be prepared. Then they started asking me for things they didn’t ask for in advance!

The people at the consulate really tried to be helpful, as far as I could tell. But their website is horrible, and they didn’t explain things well in person, either. I’m still not positive we could get to Greece, or even get an application accepted, this year if we decided to try again.

I have canceled all our tickets and reservations. Greece can kiss thousands and thousands of my dollars goodbye, during a relatively slow time when they could use the money. I wanted to give it to them. I wanted to see Greece again. I looked forward to the people. I remember the Greeks as very pleasant, with the exception of one creepy guy who used a braless girl in a tight dress to try to get me to go to his bar.

Tough self-made luck for Greece. I can’t go through this again for a second-tier destination. They will probably find other reasons to reject us, because they can’t get it together well enough to help us give them what they want.

If I’m going to suffer like this and risk losing months of travel opportunities every time, I’m going to shoot for the best destination there is: Switzerland. Forget Greece, which is good, but not great. Forget all the other nice-but-not-that-nice Schengens. Forget Sweden. Forget Belgium. Forget Poland and Hungary. Forget England, which I have never wanted to visit anyway. I don’t have time to waste. We’ll drive six hours to Atlanta, where the nearest consulate is, we’ll stay in a hotel, and we’ll file a visa application there. Then we’ll visit Tennessee, because my wife wants to see it.

I really like the Greeks, but let’s face it: the Swiss are on another level. If there is a way to do things right, the Swiss will do it. They make Germans look like Mexicans.

Ouch. That was harsh of me.

They won’t tell us to buy tickets and then turn out to be lying, like the Italians. They won’t give us incomplete and incomprehensible information, like the Greeks. Their explanations will be easily comprehended by two intelligent people with 4 college degrees, including two law degrees.

They’ll probably even file my wife’s application instead of throwing it out immediately.

I told my wife I would never have to divorce her. If I get tired of her, all I have to do is drive to the airport and fly to Europe, Japan, Israel, or just about anywhere else people actually want to go, without a visa. There is no way she’ll be able to follow me, ever. I’ll be able to take the kids. They’ll be Americans.

Applying for visas for Africans is like asking strangers if you can mail them your poop.

Maybe we can make it in the fall, by which time the wife could be pregnant and the size of a house. Great for hiking in the alps.

Oh, well. There’s always Yellowstone Park.

In case anyone else wants to try getting a Greek visa, let me point out a hazard. People on the web say they give you an approval or disapproval at the appointment. Not true, at least for my wife (African…hmm). They told us they needed two weeks.

We knew it could take 15 days for the visa to arrive, but we thought we would know the answer right away. Not even close to true. If we had scheduled the trip later, just when the hordes of drunken, spoiled, rude Chinese and American tourists will start to pour in, we would have had a chance, but these days, you don’t go to Europe in the summer unless you have no choice. Europe is overrun in the summer.

If I could stand crowds, we’d live within two hundred yards of our neighbors.

When you deal with a Schengen country, you have to have lots of stuff booked in advance. Here is something consulates do not understand: hotels give you a certain amount of time to cancel each booking and get a refund, and unless you plan a trip a very (unrealistically) long time in advance, the time to cancel will pass not long after your visa appointment.

If you have a problem at the appointment, you may not get your visa before you have to pay for your bookings or cancel them. If you cancel them, the Schengeners will reject your application because you canceled. They’ll find out, because they pull weasel tricks like that. If you don’t cancel, you’re betting thousands of dollars on getting a positive outcome from known flakes, which no one but an imbecile would do.

They don’t care if you lose a million dollars. Means nothing to them. They will cancel you without warning, and they will not help you make it right in time to fix the problem.

The Greeks said they could put us on a waitlist for a canceled appointment, and there was some chance we could still make it. No way. We had cut it close already. It was nice of them to make the effort.

If I were to try to plan the same trip again, it would have to be for this fall. It would take me a week of staring at the computer. I would have to spend maybe $10,000 on bookings. I’d get an appointment in June or early July. Then they would say no by early- or mid-July, and I’d have to start over, meaning we couldn’t go to Europe until the following May, unless we wanted to freeze under skies the color of mud. I’d have to go through the miserable process of making sure all my money was refunded, and the hotels and airline would take their sweet time.

It just doesn’t work. Not for a place like Athens. I can risk it for Lucerne, though.

If you do what I’m doing, you get two chances per year. You can try to travel in late spring, or you can try to go in the fall. After you blow those chances, you are done. If you want to go in spring, realistically, you should ask for your appointment in November, and you will get an appointment in February. If you want to go in the fall, ask no later than May, and they will see you some time in July.

The Schengeners make things too hard.

Maybe it’s time to try Japan and Taiwan. Those are good possibilities. There is literally nowhere I want to go in this hemisphere, outside of the US. I don’t want to be bombarded with even more Spanish, see cultural and historical sights of near-zero merit, eat second-rate amoeba-laden food from peasant cuisines, drink water that gives me diarrhea and rectal bleeding, and have poor Indians try to sell me crude, tasteless blankets I wouldn’t use to cover vomit stains on the backseat of a ’74 Pinto.

My wife and I were a car ride away from Chichen Itza, and neither of us were willing to go. Not only was I unwilling to pay to go; I would have paid at least a hundred dollars for each of us to be excused from going.

If it were across the street, sure, but wasting a whole day to sweat in the jungle and see where savages cut children’s hearts out? No, thanks. I’ll see it on Youtube, or, more likely, I won’t. It ain’t Versailles, kids. Nothing beats Europe, and that includes what we have here in the US.

I think I’ll look into Taiwan and Japan tomorrow. Can’t hurt.

British Police Exact Haman’s Revenge

Maybe it’s a sign that I’ve been adversely affected by the lunacy of Satan’s global pre-tribulation countdown party, but I am starting to take pleasure in witnessing spectacular eruptions of evil as they occur. Maybe it’s like the perverse admiration one feels when watching a movie and seeing a particularly grotesque and powerful creature appear on the screen. Like the sensation one fees when watching 300 and seeing Xerxes the fruity nephil prance off his parade float in steel panties.

Here’s a new spectacle for us all: a man in London was threatened with arrest and accused of disturbing the peace for being “openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

Genocidal Jew-haters were marching in the street, with the government’s backing, and he decided to show up and stand on the sidewalk looking like a Jew. That was his crime.

When I was 40, you could never have convinced me this was going to happen in a major Western city. Okay, sure. Berlin. Nuremberg. Vienna. But not after 1945.

We are washed up. Don’t try to tell me I’m overreacting. The human race is DONE. The Age of the Gentiles is ending, right in front of us. There is no recovering from this.

The rapture and tribulation come next. The tribulation is also called the day of the Lord and the hour of temptation. Who does the tempting?

Here’s something people don’t want to hear about God: he helps temptation along. He is not just in favor of it; he insists it exist, and he helps Satan do it. The Bible says he doesn’t tempt people to sin, but that’s different.

Satan and demons tempt people, and God decides how many of them are allowed to be loose in the world. The number changes. Right now, demons are flowing in like illegal aliens into Texas. The hour of temptation has to be staffed sufficiently.

If you think I’m wrong, read the Bible. God will give us a thousand years of demon-free peace and blessings while King Yeshua rules on Earth. He will bind Satan in hell. Then he will release Satan from his pen so he can tempt the people who have never been around demons. God, not Satan, will do that.

Demonic behavior is everywhere now, and there are many obvious examples.

Evil spirits are like the Holy Spirit in that they shape people to resemble themselves. If the Holy Spirit isn’t shaping you, and odds are, he isn’t, then demons are doing it. As Yeshua said, those who are not for us are against us. There is no neutrality.

Like the additional IRS agents Democrats are trying to sic on us, the new demons are here to be a plague to us. They are doing what they can to create human replicas of themselves.

We see this in increased homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, rebellion, pride, body modification, squatting, theft, violence, antisemitism, and persecution of Christians. People are cutting off their fingers and tattooing themselves to look like lizards. Transgender lizards, I should add. No one does things that stupid without help from demons. Schoolchildren in England are showing up in class dressed as animals, and teachers punish kids who acknowledge the insanity.

God showed me that crazy people who participate in unconstitutional protests are acting like demons. Think about it. If you’re a real Christian, you know some demons leave instantly when commanded to go. Others dig in, like the Japanese at Iwo Jima. They know someone may try to cast them out, so they try to make people their own, and they refuse to leave at first. You have to be persistent to get them out.

Think of the demonized characters who glue themselves to streets and seal their arms inside pipes to make it hard for the police to get them to leave. These are demon tactics. The police come and make it clear their presence is illegal, but if they don’t persist, the vandals and trespassers stay.

They do something else demons do: they slander. When the cops try to move them, they scream and claim they’re being injured or killed. They have no shame and no interest in the truth. In fact, many of the protests are, themselves, slanders. Leftists protest evils that don’t exist, or they protest that which is good, blaming people who haven’t done wrong.

“Devil” means “slanderer.” Leftists are constantly slandering decent people. They’ve been slandering whites and men for a long time, and now they’re going after Jews in broad daylight, not hiding their filth, but doing their best to make sure the world sees it.

Squatters are like demons. People are like houses, and when a squatter steals a house, he’s like a demon controlling a person.

Squatters claim it’s all about needing housing. They say they can’t afford both food and rent, and they say even if they are driven out and fined, they save a lot of money. Without getting into the terrible pain and expense they inflict on others, which they never mention, their financial pretexts don’t hold water.

If it were only about housing, they would behave better once they get in. Instead, they vandalize for no reason, making the homes they should be trying to enjoy unenjoyable. They defecate on floors. They tear out walls. That’s demonic. Just as demons harm every person they inhabit, their squatter puppets harm houses.

If I had to squat in someone else’s house during an emergency, I would try to leave it better than I found it, and I certainly wouldn’t make it impossible for me to enjoy.

The new demons–at least some of them–are already here. The temptation has started. So when does the hour itself officially begin? I want to know, because I would like to be gone by then.

Yeshua said no one but Yahweh knew the day or hour of the rapture, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t be told before it happened, and he didn’t say we wouldn’t know the month, year, or season. Maybe God will narrow it down for us.

If you’re Jewish, you really need to get it together. You need to move away from blue areas. You should probably go to Israel. You need to ask Yeshua if he’s the Messiah, because he will tell you and save you.

In the Bible, the collective problems of the Jewish people were invariably caused by rebellion. The same thing is true now. They have been kept out of their homeland for 2000 years, by people God would have defeated had they been doing things right. Their nation was reduced to a wasteland. About a third of them were murdered during the last century. Islamists are legally entitled to drive Jews out of their own temple area.

Jews need to stop insisting their new, post-Titus form of Judaism is correct. It’s not. If it were, it would work.

If this is where pleasing God got you, what happens to nations he’s upset with? How can you call your religion a success?

Most Christians are in the same boat, because they are nominal Christians only. For all their smugness, they will be stuck here during the tribulation, just like the Hindus and atheists, their real brothers and sisters.

The Bible says all the nations of the world will come against Jerusalem, and then the end will come. We are just about there. England is clearly gone, and the US is not far behind. The UN runs schools in Gaza where they teach little kids to kill as many Jews as possible. This is not an exaggeration. Isn’t the UN representative of the nations of the world? If not, funny name.

On to the next atrocity. I’m sure we’ll see something equally appalling in the next 30 days.

More: Columbia University Officially Declared Unsafe for Jews

Here’s more interesting news. Elie Buechler, the Orthodox Rabbi in charge of the OU-LJIC (Orthodox Union-Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus) at Columbia University has told students they should go home because Columbia and the NYPD are not protecting them from dangerous anti-Israel demonstrators.

Dippy, admiration-junkie CU students have created something like a homeless encampment on the quad in front of Butler Hall, the main undergrad library. This quadrangle is the main green space for the entire campus. I’m very familiar with it. I walked by it many times on my way past the library, which I did not actually enter because I was lazy and/or drunk.

“Protestors” in the quad are voicing their support for terrorism and violence toward Jewish students, according to the Fox News account. I guess they really are protestors, because they are protesting the existence of Jews.

Great quotation:

Beyond “Free, Free Palestine,” demonstrators’ chants have included “Al-Qassam you make us proud, kill another soldier now!”, “We say justice, you say how. Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!”, and, “Hamas we love you. We support your rockets too!”

There are Jews among the protestors, and at least some of them are on board with the terrorism and violence against students. Can I prove these things? No, but I went to Columbia, I have known lots of Jews, and, trust me, there are Jews there who are against Jews. Adam Gadahn was a Jew. There are Israeli Jews who protest the existence of Israel on religious grounds. Jewish unity is a myth. It would stun me if there weren’t Jewish students at CU trying to genocide themselves. Self-hatred is too ingrained.

Rabbi Buechler says, “It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus. No one should have to endure this level of hatred, let alone at school.”

That’s where I disagree with him. It is the job of Jews to ensure their own safety on every college campus, as well as everywhere else. The need to allow students to protect themselves is something some states are starting to recognize. Seventeen states, bizarrely including Florida, ban carrying weapons on school property, but the rest of the states offer at least some scholars some ability to look after themselves.

Columbia is in Manhattan, so while it most certainly is the job of Jews to protect themselves, they will not be allowed to do it within the law. I promise you, this pleases most of them, as well as their parents. I’m sure nearly all of these people vote for gun control and will continue to do so even if every student has to transfer to a safer school. They will vote against their own civil rights even if antisemitic fascists start beating them to death with signs, feet, and fists.

The idea that the government protects us is positively quaint in its idealism and naivete, especially coming from Jews, of whom several million were executed and starved to death by a very, very popular government. The cops MAY protect you IF they are present when you are threatened, but then again, they may not. If they’re not there when it matters, it’s up to you.

Funny fact: sometimes cops don’t even protect each other. I’ll provide a link to a Youtube video of a female cop who did nothing whatsoever while a woman with a knife charged her partner. Youtube will not let me embed it.

Columbia, unsafe for Jews. You can’t imagine how weird that is if you haven’t been part of CU. When I was there, Jews were all over. The president of the university was a Jew. Prominent academics were Jews. Half of my friends were Jews. People made fun of Columbia for being the most-Jewish Ivy League school.

What next? Miami Beach?

We haven’t seen Nuremberg laws yet, but we are seeing the effect of Nuremberg laws without codification. Jews are allowed to study and hold professorships, but they can’t go to campus. Jews are allowed to share the sidewalks in London, but if they look Jewish while the antisemites are marching, they can be arrested.
Maybe this is worse. You can fight a bad law in court. You can’t fight unwritten policies people pretend don’t exist. We see a lot of this these days. Shadowbanning. Antifa, claiming it doesn’t exist. Debanking without explanation. Complain, and you’re told you’re imagining things.

We have arrived. The antisemitic left is now mainstream, and it can’t be shamed or outlawed. It’s not coming. It’s here.

NPR Takes Much-Needed Step to End Journalism

This one blows my mind.

Everyone knows NPR is way WAY out on the left. The more conservative or religious you are–the fairer you are–the harder it is to listen. No fair-minded person can listen and fail to have the bias jump out at him, like an air horn in an orchestra. It is not reasonable to question the obvious fact that NPR is in the tank for the left.

I guess most conservatives are aware that a CURRENT editor at NPR, a well-regarded employee named Uri Berliner, just produced an essay decrying NPR’s unfairness. Notable fact presented in the essay: NPR has 87 editors, and precisely 0 are not leftists. That’s diversity in Bizarro World. I used to joke that “diversity” meant “getting rid of all the conservative white males,” but my joke has been destroyed in that it has become an objective description of reality.

Thank goodness for the flat Earth conspiracy theory. At least there is one conspiracy theory that won’t turn out to be true.

If you’re here, you have probably read his essay already, so there is no point in going over it line by line. You may also have read the bizarre, emotional, vengeful, punitive, objectively and demonstrably incorrect response written by NPR CEO Katherine Maher. Yes, she’s a woman. She had to be, because she’s white. They would never have hired a white male. Unless maybe he was gay. Or he wore dresses.

In an astonishing display of self-unawareness, in the safety of her bubble, Maher sent a message out to everyone at NPR, and instead of countering Berliner’s facts, she said:

Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.

Unbelievable! I thought I was used to the craziness now, but this is like a sharp slap in the face with a large, cold fish. I’m awake again!

1. “Disrespectful.” This means, “How dare you challenge our arrogance? You will pay. You will learn who you are and who I am on the corporate totem pole, little cis man.”

2. “Hurtful.” This means she is angry, not hurt. Someone rolled the rock over, and the biggest bug under the rock is mad because the sun hurt her eyes. Someone put foam sheets on the walls of the echo chamber. She is not “hurt” at all, and neither is anyone else. They’re just furious and ready to dispense payback.

3. “Demeaning.” This is a clumsy libel intended to put a truthful man on the defensive. It’s a deliberate lie intended to shift the blame to the innocent. It’s gaslighting. Berliner didn’t demean anyone. There are meme artists for that.

Based on the facts that he’s a leftist who got along fine with everyone at NPR for years, and that he was advanced to a high position there, Berliner is probably a jerk, but Maher’s attack on him is completely evil and dishonest, and it was intended to help NPR continue to harm conservatives and Christians, so in this instance, we should defend him.

People have a funny tendency to overembrace their enemies when their interests intersect. Right now, a lot of conservatives are saying John Fetterman is a great guy. No, he isn’t. He’s just a Jew who got mad because his pals on the left were assisting in the destruction of Israel. That doesn’t make him Trump cabinet material.

We have to learn to be non-binary. About some things.

I was disturbed by Maher’s insane, retributive message, but today I’m even more disturbed, because she has SUSPENDED HIM WITHOUT PAY.

How much more blatant can the discrimination be? What else do we need? Torches? Pitchforks? A guillotine? A pile of brush and a stake?

A woman in charge of one of the nation’s most prominent “journalism” organizations just SUSPENDED A MAN FOR DOING JOURNALISM.

That is literally his only crime.

He didn’t steal files. He didn’t catch people on hidden cameras. He didn’t lie to anyone. I’m sure he didn’t violate the terms of his employment, unless shilling for NPR no matter what is a term. Until this week, he was an admired employee in good standing. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. To the contrary, risking his job, his financial stability, and the loss of most of his friends, he has done exactly what journalists are required to do. He bravely exposed very damaging corruption at an organization which, as policy, defaults on its obligations of good faith. An organization which does the opposite of its purpose. They’re supposed to disseminate truth, and instead, they fight the truth every day.

Wow. The baseness of the human race could not be displayed more strikingly. It’s like we’re a reality show, and Joseph Heller writes the scripts.

The absurdity of this woman’s response can’t be heightened in any way. She left no room. She has literally punished a man for doing good journalism.

Let’s say he’s wrong. He’s not, but it doesn’t matter. A journalist does not punish another journalist for disagreeing with her. I just don’t have the energy to explain this obvious fact. Everyone knows it’s true.

We should burn the works of absurdist playwrights. Ionesco and Giraudoux, au revoir. Reality has left you in the dust. Every DC comic featuring Bizarro should be destroyed. Comparing Earth to Bizarro World is becoming like comparing Somalia to Switzerland.

Spirit-based delusion is everywhere. People can’t get this stupid without the help of demons. And what did Isaiah say?

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

“Woe” sounds quaint, but it’s not something you want. It means terrible suffering. Like the suffering that will come during the tribulation, which the liars and nuts are hastening with their willful dishonesty and cruelty. Woe means things like starving, dying in nuclear blasts, and watching your crops being completely destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah experienced woe.

I would say this woman should be fired, but what good would it do? If we had killed Hitler, we would still have had Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels. If we had killed Saddam Hussein right away, we would still have had his sons. One person is not the problem. If we kill Kim Jong Un, we will still have to fight his sister, who is said to be worse. The problem is an Earth covered with a stinking soup of Yeshua-haters and truth-haters.

There are at least 86 people at NPR who can probably be trusted to continue doing what Maher is doing. The one who might resist is on suspension.

Not only is humanity getting nuttier; it is becoming immune to embarrassment about being nutty.

Man, I can’t wait for the rapture. I really hope I will be here during the millennium. To all of you who are still mired in blue states and cities, I have to tell you you’re making a mistake that will harm you and your children as long as you persist. You have forgotten what life among normal people is like, and while you may think you’re doing fine because you resist, you’re not.

During the millennium, the whole world will be a red state.

I guess we’ll have fewer guns, but on the other hand, why would we want them in a world ruled by King Yeshua and his obedient children?

Maybe he’ll let us keep Bass Pro. I love that place. When you step inside, it reminds you there are little isolated cysts full of sanity all over America.

I should buy a popcorn machine. Watching this corrupt phase of the world’s existence end without popcorn just feels wrong.

Stop Sending Your Kids to College

Thanks to the way social sites have changed our young people’s way of thinking, virtue-signaling is at an all-time high. And suddenly, antisemitism is virtue.

I was in Barack Obama’s class at Columbia. Unlike Obama, who had to apply a second time as a transfer because he didn’t have the stuff, I was invited to apply by the chairman of the English department. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I was at Columbia, I saw the future.

Even then, in a university where people claimed the student body was about half Jewish, it was very chic for kids to wear khaffiyas, which are the head adornments commonly worn by so-called Palestinians. They look a lot like dishrags. One great way to tell flighty, confused, extremely gullible feminist coeds you were a great candidate for fornication was to wear a khaffiya as a scarf.

Kids at Columbia were generally far, far out on the left, and they were full of it. For many, it was all a pose. It tended to fade as job interviews began.

I remember a kid named Elpidio. A California Mexican. He ended up at Yale Law. He was a big social justice warrior. He was all about sticking it to the man. He was admired for it. Years later, I was looking at the Wall Street Journal. There was an article about a game McDonald’s offered to its customers. People won big prizes. McDonald’s didn’t like it when anyone connected to an employee won, because of fraud concerns. A lawyer for McDonald’s was interviewed for the article. This was a guy whose job it was to investigate little people who won prizes, so he could take them away. It was the first time I had seen Elpidio’s name in print. I wonder what Cesar Chavez would have thought of him.

I just looked, and he still has a site where he describes himself as a warrior for diversity. In a horrifying display of cognitive dissonance, his (surely) self-penned blurb on another site says he has worked as in-house counsel for three huge pharmaceutical companies. Everyone on the left admires pharmaceutical companies for their warmth and generosity!

I remember a kid named Rick. He was a big anti-draft martyr. Under President Carter, Uncle Sam had brought back draft registration, and the social justice warriors weren’t having it.

My dorm room was a focal point of social activity on my floor. People used to gather there to drink and sing and play music. One day, Rick was in attendance. As part of his liberal shtick, he shamed people for registering for the draft. He urged them not to do it. While he was in my room, he confided to us that he had registered. He said fear of being arrested would make him less effective as an activist.

I would like to add that Barack Obama was a total nobody. People think that when he was born, the ob/gyn noticed that the sun shone from his rear end, and ever since then, he has been an automatic celebrity everywhere he has gone. Not true. He was a ghost. One person I know thinks he saw his name on a poster somewhere, but I think that’s a false memory. No one else I have talked to remembers him.

There were students who were well-known. Rick and Wally, the musicians. Lou Antonelli, the campus politician. Obama was not a campus name.

He was a big nothing after leaving school. There is a 5-year gap between his graduation and his entry into law school, and during that time, he took nutty leftist jobs like “community organizer,” which means he was a low-level bag man.

It kind of seems like the women I knew, nearly all of whom were twisted and unmarriageable, were more sincere than the men, because I have Googled and learned that a lot of them kept their maiden names and ended up working as leftist academics (I repeat myself). This makes sense, because the men would have pretended to be anything in order to get sex. They had more motivation to put on an act, and men, by their nature, are more conservative than women. I’m sure many of the girls were completely phony, but they weren’t the ones who had to be chameleons in order to fornicate.

Why a Jewish kid from Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn (Columbia stereotype of the time) would wear a head decoration labeling himself as a supporter of an organization of genocidal swine who wanted to torture and kill his entire demographic is beyond me, but kids are stupid, so it happened. It makes me wonder why young Jews in prewar Europe didn’t wear swastikas in order to be popular.

Actually, some did, but they didn’t do it for sex. They did it to stay alive.

I’m thinking about these things because I just saw an article saying the US, under the president women and Jews elected and may elect again, has decided not to involve itself in any Israeli response to Iran’s brutal, failed missile and drone attack.

It made me think of Zechariah, who said God would gather all the nations of the world against Jerusalem. Have we just seen it begin?

Iran needs a crushing, humiliating blow right now. We should help administer it. Instead, we are telling the world we are not going to stick with Israel much longer. They just have to wait a bit, and soon we will be on their side, if not through action, then through passivity. We are encouraging the continued efforts to make the world judenrein.

How different things would be if Trump were still president.

Biden Shuffles Closer to Fateful Red Line

Today I am looking at Zechariah.

In 586 BC, Yahweh got fed up with the Jewish people and sent them into exile. This was a punishment from God, not an unjust persecution of good people. The word makes that clear. Isaiah foretold the Babylonian captivity and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple at least a hundreds years earlier, and he described God’s hatred for Jewish idolatry and disobedience.

Like the rest of us, the Jews have never had a common problem that wasn’t connected to rebellion. Antisemitism’s successes and the constant efforts to destroy Israel spring from the refusal to give up heresy and accept Yeshua, the only divine Jewish Messiah there will ever be.

If you read the Tanakh, you will see that Yahweh never let the Jewish people suffer great distress except when they were disobedient. Sadly for gentiles, we are judged the same way.

A few decades after Jerusalem was destroyed, the Persian emperor Cyrus, whom Isaiah named before he was born, gave his Jewish eunuch cupbearer, Nehemiah, permission to start rebuilding. Several years later, the temple opened for business under Darius, the emperor who replaced Cyrus.

The Jews persisted in idolatry and heresy and endured a series of conquerors until 70 AD, when the temple, which had been renovated by one of the Herods, was destroyed by the Romans under Titus. The Jews haven’t recovered. God scattered them all over the world, and most of them have not returned and have no plans to do so. Israel was barren and poor until Jews started returning during the 20th centure.

Jewish history says religious Jews in the temple observed the temple’s massive gate opening by itself prior to its destruction, and many people see this as evidence the presence of God had left. Also, the scarlet thread on the temple door, which had always turned white over Yom Kippur, failed to change color during the 40 years after the crufixion, suggesting that the Jews who ran the religious establishment had failed to acknowledge the final sacrifice; that of their Messiah.

This is pretty much what happened after Zechariah prophesied. In his prophecies, he talks of a day of the Lord, which will be preceded by terrible suffering. He talks about Israel being overrun and the women raped and so on.

These things have not yet happened, so they have to be future events.

Here is part of the chapter:

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

This can’t be about Nebuchadnezzar. It can’t be about Titus. It can’t be about Hitler. The facts don’t match. It has not happened yet.

The first sentence appears to be in the works. It says God himself will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. There are a few nations which are relatively friendly to Israel, but the simple fact is that without the US, Israel would have no powerful friends among the nations. Once the US turns, as it started to do under Obama (some would say Bush II), it will be reasonable to say that just about all nations are against Jerusalem.

Jerusalem represents Israel. It has been the capital since 1980, and Donald Trump, the American Cyrus, gave it our official recognition when he was president.

Now Americans, including many Jews, are in the streets protesting not just Israel, but Jewish individuals with no connection to Israel. They chase and abuse Jewish college students with no repercussions. A bunch of antisemites just entered the US Capitol illegally to protest, and unlike the J6 victims, they were sent home without charges.

With the exception of many conservative Christian gentiles and most, but not all, Jews, Americans are generally not all that bothered by antisemitism. We have had one president who was openly against Israel, and most Jews voted for him anyway. Iran just fired rockets and sent drones to Israel, supposedly in self-defense, after Israel retaliated against Iran for arming terrorists in Palestine and Lebanon. Our current president had a phone call with Netanyahu, and instead of giving him a free hand to do as he saw fit, our president appears to have reined him in.

Israel is very dependent on us, so our presidents can push Israeli prime ministers around. If Israel were dependent on Yeshua, Israel, not the US, would be the premier nation of Earth, but that’s not how things have worked out.

America’s abstention is the main reason all nations are not against Israel, but America is not the stable ally it used to be. Can Zechariah 14 be that far off?

Biden may well be reelected because American women love abortion so much. They have shown they are willing to charge the polling places in feminine rebellion against God’s patriarchal universe. If Biden wins, he will probably have to bow out and leave Kamala Harris in charge very soon. Harris is even farther to the left than Biden, so a Harris reign would likely put the US in among the other nations that oppose Israel.

Jews will vote for Biden in November. If he can’t make it to the election, they will vote for Harris. If Harris dies suddenly before we vote, they will vote for a bowl of fruit salad as long as it’s the Democrat nominee.

Bill Maher, an atheist Jew, says he would vote for Biden’s head in a jar of blue liquid before he would vote for Trump, and he really means it. People think it’s just a joke, but Maher would literally vote for a cucumber or a radish and wait for the Democrats to find a replacement.

As a group, Jews always feed and support those who want to destroy them. This is the nature of rebellion against God. The 850 prophets of Baal who served Jezebel weren’t foreigners. They were Jews.

Zechariah 14 did not happen in the past, and it can’t be far off in the future. The modern Tower of Babel, which is technology coupled with paganism, is getting too powerful.

We are gaining godlike powers, and Satan uses them to fill us with pride and make us reject God. We’re not getting the big godlike powers, like the ability to work miracles at will, but we have hydrogen bombs, artificial intelligence, gain-of-function viruses and other abominations resulting from gene manipulation, and an astounding ability to do things with information.

We are creating beings that are part human and part animal. We are developing a surveillance apparatus so widespread, it is getting close to the point where it can eliminate free will.

You have to be careful when answering your phone now. Spammers use AI to record and steal voices. They can call your relatives pretending to be you and claiming you’ve been kidnapped. If you don’t answer the phone, they can do it using your Instagram videos. They can make videos of you doing whatever they want.

In Babel, God showed he was not willing to let people have too much supernatural power, so surely he will step in when our natural power becomes too great.

I am ready to leave. I don’t want to raise kids on this planet until God changes it.

Speaking of change, it’s coming. Zechariah mentioned the Messianic Age, also known as the Millennium. A better world is on the way. It will be here after the 7 years of tribulation, when Yeshua returns to rule with his bride.

In chapter 9, these words appear:

A message came from Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘I am extremely jealous on Tziyon’s behalf, and I am jealous for her with great fury.’ Adonai says, ‘I am returning to Tziyon, and I will live in Yerushalayim. Then Yerushalayim will be called Truth City, Adonai-Tzva’ot’s Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.

Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘Old men and old women will once again sit in the open places of Yerushalayim, each one with his cane in his hand, because of their great age. The city’s open places will also be full of boys and girls playing there.’

Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘This may seem amazing to the survivors in those days, but must it also seem amazing to me?’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot. Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘I will save my people from lands east and west; I will bring them back, and they will live in Yerushalayim. They will be my people; and I will be their God, with faithfulness and justice.’

This didn’t happen with Herzl, and it didn’t happen in 1948. There has been some restoration, but nothing like this. It’s in the future.

Most Jews are atheists or something close to it. They are not God’s people at the moment, even though they are precious to him.

I want to see things come to a head, not for vengeance on people who are against God and his children, but for the same reason I would want to see an actual boil come to a head, permitting it to be lanced. We can’t have the good until after we see the bad. I don’t want to see the world get more and more disgusting and unlivable for another 30 years. I would rather see the rapture and tribulation come right now, so we can finally move on and see the blessed world God always wanted us to have.

Some people want things to get worse so they can have a civil war and run around shooting everyone who annoys them. I just want to see humanity healed and restored. I want an end to hate and pride. I don’t want to be ruled and abused by perverts any more. I want to see ailments healed supernaturally so we don’t have to pay the latest generation of secular witch doctors to cut us up. I want to see an end to poverty.

The Iran attack makes this all feel much more real. If there is anything happening now that makes it look like the end is far off, I am not aware of it.
