Update [sacrilege]: I'd like to take  a moment to thank the staff -- particularly boney -- at portlane. Their continued support has been phenomenal. Also: Merry Christmas.

This jew will be the first to tell you that history is full of some very evil jewish people. I can also say with a fair degree of certainty that this jew is not one of them. Therefore if you want to lump me in some protection team, so be it. I will try to protect myself from what I feel are comments misdirected.

dark pools of fiction

During the Russian Revolution, Jews killed Jews, Bolsheviks killed Bolsheviks, Bolsheviks killed Jews, White Russians killed Cossacks, people killed out of fear.  If this was another Jewish conspiracy, then they sure messed it up !

So what is your (narrow minded) point ?

The banksters of Jewish persuasion need not be grouped in with all  the rest of the Jewish people.

Was J. Pierpont Morgan a Jew ?  Is Buffet a Jew ?  Is Carlos Slim a Jew ?  And if they are, I never checked it out, because I don't give a damn !

I am not a Jew, I was brought up a Protestant, but I do not believe in magic.

Merry Christmas and have a double eggnog.

You lost me at "Given that zerohedge readers are smarter than the average bear"

The typical ZH sheeple is pretty much as ignorant of the real world as anyone you can locate.  They error in the extreme in all predictions.  Listen to anything here and you will be broke and alone.

When I want to show someone just how ignorant the arrogant can be, I simply send them this URl and all proof is submitted.

The ZH sheeple may be racist, I can't really tell.  What I can tell you is that they are the extreme opposite of smart and they are anything but independent of mind.

Merry Christmas ZH'ers.  2011 will prove to be a great time to be alive!!

Geithner, bernanke, greenspan, gensler, summers etc. its a long friggen list. Us dumfuck goyams are under their complete control via all Central Banks, our treasury, our whitehouse, jews predominate clear  and simple. Do a headcount. Media too. Dumass sheep still believe this is their government. i am running out of patience . Sorry.

And further i liked all the jews i ever met. They were good hearted people, one like a brother too me, one as a sweetheart and one was my guru in the 70s.

No need to be a racist , but am having trouble with 2% of population controlling the other 98% especially when it does them harm. Average white man is getting fucked from all sides onless hes a lowlife or thief .

I am frustrated and a bit angry at the sitiuation we find ourselves in. hard to fight when the enemy is among us and often ourselves via our ignorance.

 

Personally I can choose to ignore all that i see and know, as i am fine and will be fine no matter what happens. its empathy for others plight that moves me .

This what I do not understand, and I am being sincere with the 'do not understand.' This is how I see your greivance: Whites used to be more in power, now they are suffering, and simultaneously jews are in power, and are doing well. Well, it wasn't a violent coup, so the handoff of power must have had some voluntary aspect, no? And I see your point about central banks--but that wasn't done without a bunch of White northeastern senators and one Woodrow Wilson.

What pops into my head is that something must have happened between the time when my Grandfather was denied admission to Columbia Univesrity because they had already met their 'Jew Quota' (c. 1950s) to today. where Jews are overrespesented in the Ivy League population. Someone White must have said "they're aight, let them in." Because if you are going to look through the world in the 'what's bad for us is good for them' paradigm, then someone literaly sold you out.

Hi Skip, your stated belief in how WW2 began is understandable considering how well the lies were planned and rolled out for all of us.  But now we are older, wiser, and so very disappointed at the wanton treason that infects every aspect of American life.  And if you are going to lecture us about history, well that's fine, but you are going to have to force yourself to do some homework, lest you confirm yourself a useful idiot, and we've all had enough of those. For the twentieth century saw entire populations put to death on the strength of lies aided by well-meaning types like yourself. Start with something easy and informative, but full of the ugly truth.  Look up the following titles:

Wall Street and the Bolsheviks

Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler

Then compare that to the lies we have all been fed.  If after that you still believe the standard stories issued by lazy and pompous "historians," well I'd say you have a problem that goes a lot deeper than what you read here.  But no matter, the truth will not be quelled. If you continue to read here you will learn in spite of the propaganda, like it or not. Good luck.

I think Comcast might have a hardwired problem with that...strike two.

"SIGNAL NEWNYM produces about as much carbon as .this"

But advising thousands, if not millions, of readers to use Google (your friend...LOL) to ferret this information out requires burning "precious" energy thus increasing ones "global carbon footprint".

If I were a yid (you gave me something for nothing or so they say), a Google shareholder or BP, I would be very pleased with you.

Hey nm, just to add "information" to all your "data", I found this gem while researching my anti-twitter rant. Very interesting I thought.

While millions of people tap into Google without considering the environment, a typical search generates about 7g of CO2 Boiling a kettle generates about 15g. “Google operates huge data centres around the world that consume a great deal of power,” said Alex Wissner-Gross, a Harvard University physicist whose research on the environmental impact of computing is due out soon. “A Google search has a definite environmental impact.”

Thanks for the validation ORI.

Not that I think what we breath out can destroy the planet any more than cow farts can (NO, it's not a slam...geesh)...it should be noted that server farms consume a vast amount of energy proportional to their "productive" usefulness. Note here...I don't consider SEC employees searching kiddie porn as productive...prolly just me though.

Unfortunately, even with the readership of ZH, Tarzan's burp didn't warm me up even a little bit ;-)

No now Davey boy. Open your mind. Don't be an asshole making rude remarks for nothing.

Got something meaningful to say? Hate what I said? Then respond.

Not with this tripe.

You typify the narrowly educated, thin-skinned, un-thinking person. You know the kind who can string together a sentence but not a thought. Get my drift? Shallow, hollow, probably just plain mean Davey boy? Feeling threatened by your comfy world being ripped away from you?

And yet, I don't wish bad things for you.

Only that you might ponder a little and be able to really say/write what you perchance feel/think, if you do either that is.

Be well.

I hope one day they can find the good inside them as is inside everyone and see the evil they are doing.

I guess that's one of the great things about Christmas, a chance for new hope in the world, no matter what came before.

    Actually it was TRUE love, as at the time I was broke and she had the net worth, but we had a magic neither of us could deny!

    She is truly my soulmate, something that at 35 I had all but given up on finding, and together we have built a VERY happy life and quite a profitable business, as we compliment each other in every way...she's the most HONEST, hard-working woman I've ever known, truly old school stuff.

    And I had a LOT of experience with other women before hand, almost all bad...

    Excellent answer and excellent story. Glad to hear it. Marriage as a institution can work, but too many put the cart before the horse and worry about sexual matters before they get the friendship and companionship thing together. After all , sex , in reality is just about procreation, continuing the lineage. Nothing more, nothing less. We as a people are just too sexed up. I have often wondered if having more than one wife would be a good idea. If you get mad at one, you can go see the other ones. Plus the orthodox jews believe it is ok because it allows you to have more children and not put so much pressure on one woman. A simplistic approach but if it works , why not. In my way of thinking on it, that would be great, because if you are married to  4 wives say for instance, you can always have something different from time to time. This keeps your mind right.

    Funny thing is, when we met she was the girlfriend of one of my closest friends, who at 38 didn't want to marry her because her biological clock was running out (she was 35 at the time).

    He wanted a 20 somthing to get it up to, and dumped her on his quest for an "Annika".

    As I had known her as a friend for almost a year previous, I knew she was one in a million and thought I wouldn't even have a chance...it turned out she had other ideas.

    And you're 100% correct, it's the "friendship and companionship" that has kept us together, along with TOTAL TRUST.

    My ex-friend found his Annika, got kicked to the curb and last I heard he was totally alone (burnt too many bridges being a selfish prick).

    So glad that I burnt though my "Annika" stage in my 20s and left that insanity behind...

    husbands? Would that be OK?

    anyone can have 4 wives or husbands, today you only have to divorce the first one to get another.  No difference to before the only barrier to multiple spouses is your ability to afford it.

    Good job buddy.

    At 22, I plan to wait at least a decade to even consider getting married.

    Wait for demographics to collapse.

    The days of women using sex as a weapon are OVER!

    At 22, you do have a few things to learn.  Hope it won't be too painful for you.  There are ancient Greek plays that describe women withholding sex to stop their men from going off to war.  As long as men are physically stronger than women, sex will always be used as a weapon by women.  For only one reason.  It works.  No one ever stops using something that works.  Your job as a husband will be to figure out how to take away the need for the weapon.  Good luck.

    Wrong. The Japanese stopped using rifles while they knew it worked. One example among a few others.

    Secondly, although there are disproportionate numbers of Jews involved in trashing our financial system, it is far from all Jews. Although I am a "Goyim," I know lots of Jews and can only think of one in the category that many of you are trashing and extending to all Jews. What happened to the Christmas spirit, anyway? Whatta bunch of losers. Most of the Jews I know are net assets to organizations, clubs, charities, etc.

    I don't give a shit about how slutty that woman looks in that video. A little Austerity (credit collapse) and woman will start knowing who is boss again. 

    Keep in mind, I would never talk like that if I had children. I am too damn broke to even care.

    I just started investing this year. Put 25% of my net worth into junk silver.

    In ten years when silver is $500 dollars and all the Visa cards are in the trash, I can have 500 woman begging for it (it, it iti citiitititi) 

    Marriage is about compromise and sacrifice. The nation started to collapse once families crumbled world war never helped (we are in one now, btw). (Pull up a chart on the divorce rate and economic trends).

    please, can someone have a zh get-together?  Maybe in Denver or someplace central.  It could be a type of "flash" conference with the final sight of meeting posted an hour before on ZH.  I absolutely cry when I think about being in a ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE who recognize reality.
