@aspaz’s comments are like what you would get from a brain in a blender. Some of the parts might still be partially identifiable but taken together it’s just a disgusting mess rendered useless for both original purposes (thinking or digesting).
Tough monkeys and funny ones. Which is scarier and which is even which? Welcome to the monkey house.
The reason @aspnaz has so much room in his head for strong opinions based on false conclusions is that there aren’t any facts up there taking up any valuable (and limited) space.
When he speaks pay close attention, for he is the veritable diagram of Chinese arrogance. They alone are civilized. All others are barbarian, and less than human. Must be why there are “China Towns” everywhere, and why those towns exclude all who are not of their kind (or is it the other way around? It’s hard to tell). The behavior reminds of a certain other ethno-religion that has been mentioned lately.
They’re the ones that Aspnaz and his kin are REALLY concerned about, and see as the most formidable threat and serious competitor for world domination both of them want so much. That’s why @aspnaz and his collaborators are laying the groundwork for genocidal hysteria so early. They think it’s going to be a big job and a hard fight. Gotta get that BLIND hatred and cultish belief system cranked up to max, because those Zionists aren’t gonna go down so easy. They’re seasoned professionals, just like the dynastic Chinese.
The CCP reckons that taking down the Yanks was just a warm up, child’s play compared to who they intend to conquer next. It only took a hundred years to buy the Americans because buying off traitorous bumpkins is CHEAP. It’s the next guys who are going to be the tough nut to crack. Those Khazarians really know the ins and outs of pure fucking evil, and have had thousands of years more experience at it.
You better go back to your handbook Aspie. Sun Tzu advised that before picking a fight you should know your enemy. But you don’t know Jack about the Jews OR the Americans (having never associated with either). You obviously THINK that you know (you shout your ignorance through a bull horn), but buddy, you do NOT know. You are, in a word, OBLIVIOUS.
Defintion of Oblivious, “A state of complete unawareness, characterized by equally complete ignorance of being in such a state and absence of willingness to find out.”
Here’s a bullet to chew on. Nobody (and I mean NOBODY) believes that there will be a free and fair election in the United States in November 2024.
The bad guys know it. The good guys know it. And the genpop knows it too. That’s why the the Bad guys and the genpop say that they don’t know it, and why they don’t want anybody to even talk about it. It’s because they KNOW it (otherwise they wouldn’t care if you talked about it or not).
So, since everybody knows that there is not going to be a free and fair election in Nov 2024 WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THAT DEADLINE?
Lots of stuff, boys and girls. Lots of stuff. Like the Dollar, Ukraine, Palestine, free speech, border hemorrhage, election law, federal court system, you name it. What has to happen before November of the year with each of those crises? Can ANY of those crises be left unresolved without the consequence of preventing a free and fair election in ’24? And yet if ANY of the crises do get resolved then what will the effect of such resolution on the election itself?
There’s the “Deadline”, so to speak, and I can’t imagine a better word for it.
@DrD
I think that’s why advanced civilizations have learned to separate jailers from judges, judges from cops and cops from spies. Their respective jobs (although all aimed at the same target of maintaining security for the innocent) must go about their respective tasks in ways that must not be mixed together or combined. Spies figure out where the trouble is probably coming from. Cops gather evidence and haul the suspected trouble makers into court. Judges and juries decide if the evidence proves guilt and hand the guilty over for punishment and incarceration. The jailers keep the miscreants far enough away from society that it is better for everyone concerned (including the convicts, actually).
Civilizations end when the fish is rotten from the spies on down.
A message to our American and UK friends; guess who is the rat?
Your question is too easy, aspnaz. You’re the rat. The clues are those little pellets of rat droppings you leave like a trail of confessed crimes everywhere you go, and that distinctively disgusting aroma. Yeah, thanks for the metaphor. Not only do you leave a mess behind and foul the atmosphere, there’s also the unfortunate after effect that the topics you touch are left tainted, like when a rat chews the corner off of a package of food that was perfectly comestible until the rodent got to it.
Your visits to the forum are like the skittering scritchy noises in the cupboard when the lights go out for the night, and we’re reminded that it’s probably time to set the traps again. Damn rats! It was easier back in the day when it was only the occasional troll that needed to attended to. They were ugly and noisy alright, but at least they didn’t shit in the rations.
@MyParentsSaidKnow
Now that you mention it, robo-squirrels work almost as well (on a unit-by-unit basis) than those big ol’ Kraken, and are a lot cheaper, especially when purchased in bulk. Release the squirrels!
So far I have heard you level the most scurrilous insults toward the full spectrum swath of ALL white people, All Jews, All blacks, and pretty much all people who don’t suffer the same xenophobia that you do.
But the one race that I HAVEN’T heard you bad mouth is your own. So tell us about Chinese people, aspie. Are they all as wonderful as you?
@citizenx
@aspnaz
and perhaps a couple of othersYes, the UK let the rats into the kitchen and we got “hate speech” laws – particularly beloved by Dr D – and “anti-semitism” laws particuarly loved by D.Benton.S the Jew, and in France, “holocaust denial” laws,
Spot on.
Right out of the playbook, Dr D DBS instantly resort to any criticism of The Jewish State as racist, anti-semitic, and hate speech.”
I have made my views pretty clear and explicit from the beginning of this “Jew” oriented discussion that magically appeared out of nowhere coincidental with your arrival not so long ago. Strange, isn’t it? You show up and the trouble starts immediately
I have welcomed the open discussion about all things Jewish, and acknowledge that it should not be categorically forbidden or forcibly censored in any way. I am adamantly anti-Zionist. I am outraged by The Zionist “Jewish State”of Israel carrying out land grab, murder, and genocide in Palestine. I recognize that a disproportionately large amount of the world’s evils coming from a disproportionately small faction of self-proclaimed Jews is fairly sound proof of criminal conspiracy (albeit murky). And I know from long life and broad experience that most Jewish people are just ordinary people like everybody else.
And yet you two creeps repeatedly and relentlessly try to portray me as espousing the OPPOSITE. How strangely consistent, and false.
I have corrected you on numerous occasions (almost daily now, it seems) and still you persist in outright lying and covertly insinuating that I believe and say the contrary of what I actually believe and what I have actually said.
Such blatant lies and maneuvers cannot be accidental. Therefore they must be intentional, and with an as yet unexpressed purpose. Neither of you are all that bright, so presumably the plan has been provided to you by others. Your buzz-word choices, your incitement to indiscriminate hatred, and your incessant use of provocatively crude personal insults suggests a more or less planned-out agenda. That, too, tends to suggest that people smarter than you are telling you what to do.
I believe that you are agents provocateurs with an assignment to foment extremist commentary on this blog with the intention that such radical commentary will later be used to frame and defame this forum by your handlers as “racist” (your words, not mine), “anti-Semitic” (your words, not mine), “hate speech” (once again, your words, not mine) , as a means and justification for outlawing The Automatic Earth and getting it “canceled”, shut down, or even prosecuted under draconian censorship measures that even the near-sighted now see coming at us from an increasingly deranged government.
Just for the record, I have never said nor implied that the tripe you spew was “racist”, or “anti-semitic” (except in the idiot sense of the word), or “holocaust denial” or “hate speech”. Your effort to position me as having any of those views is in itself a deceitful and cowardly (and, frankly, stupid) attempt to undermine my repute rather than refute my arguments. What a spineless subterfuge, and one that you will henceforward not be getting away with.
You can save yourself the embarrassment and just go away quietly now, or you can persist and wind up leaving in humiliation anyway. Your call. Hopefully you hang in for a few more rounds, because (God forgive me) I do enjoy the game.
It may seem fruitless and frustrating for us hoi paloi to rail against the stupidity, injustice, cruelty and just plain wacko insanity of the US Government carrying out the suicidal marching orders from the Elites.
I’ve heard that sense of powerlessness expressed many times both here on TAE and most everywhere else that outraged citizens gather to lament the fact that the crazies are still at it and no one seems to be stopping them. Where are our leaders at this time when we need them the most?
Well, they’re waiting for us.
That’s right. They have no power to act until WE provide it by letting them know that we have their backs. No politician can champion the so-called “will of the people” until the outraged clamor of the people is loud enough to convince them that they really ARE expressing the will of the people.
It’s kind of funny how that works, but the fact is that leaders can’t lead until enough people tell them where they want to be led to. You’ve heard the expression that, “It’s a two way street.” Well this is a classic example of it being a two way street.
Keep grousing. Turn up the heat. Turn it up higher. Ridicule, invalidate, prove wrong and ABANDON the creeps who double-down on their losing hand. It’s almost magical how “leaders” suddenly find the courage to do the right thing when they lose their fear of not getting elected.
Shake those pitchforks! Wave those torches! As it becomes clearer that you really mean it your “leaders” will rush to the front to “lead the way” once you make it safe for them to do so.
Yeah, it’s pathetic, but it’s also how things work.
P.S.
A bunch of them are still going to lie to you, but that will improve after you sack the one’s you catch lying. You want leaders to stick their necks out in your behalf? Then back their play, in advance.Grownups in the room will probably hear much to please them in this latest analysis of the developments in Gaza vis a vis South Africa’s Genocide suit against Israel in the ICJ, and what that leads to ON THE GROUND in Rafah and elsewhere in Gaza and the surrounding Arabic and Muslim countries.

Along the track of the same metaphorical train of thought mentioned in my previous post, it should be CAREFULLY noted that if you try to better your own position by cutting off the other guy’s end of the teeter totter you will soon find yourself sitting on a VERY VERY teeny remaining board, with one helluva lot of people on the other end, and none of them too happy about it either.
The one reality that most people have the most trouble accepting is that they live on a teeter totter that has Freedom at one end and Slavery at the other and think that their own end of the plank can eliminate the other end of the plank.
Well the last time I did any woodworking I just could not help but notice that no matter how many times I cut the end off of the board it still had the other end.
Tyrants must periodically be reminded, by Reality itself, that at the end of the day EVERY individual DOES has veto power.
I had to correct someone today on their declaration that the US Supreme Court wasn’t worth shit. Of course it is!
Aspnaz is deeply subscribed to the Chinese cultural mindset that the group is all important and individual merely a disposable and easily replaceable commodity, that in itself is of little to no consequence or value to the group. In that narrow view he fails to comprehend that the “group” is an abstraction, a shared concept only, which consists entirely of individuals whose individual performance determines the nature and viability of the herd.
Both viewpoints have significant validity, in that each of the viewpoints is precisely HALF true, but neither of the viewpoints is sufficiently true in itself to fully supplant the other. In other words, it requires comprehension of both viewpoints to understand the truth about human behavior, and hopefully thereby improve it some.
This is a roundabout way of saying that while aspnaz is not a total idiot, he is most definitely and vociferously and ANNOYINGLY, a textbook example of halfwit.
P.S.
Please identify and explain even ONE lie that you think I have told. To the best of my recollection I have told NONE, but I’ve been wrong before and am always ready to correct an error and become even more perfect than I already am.@DrDRich
@DBS
If your thesis on psychopaths holds true and becomes widely accepted by psychiatrists and psychologists THEN you’ll be next Kaitlyn KarikoI’m confidant that I can postpone writing the acceptance speech for a while, but your exemplary of Kaitlyn Kariko is interesting. Her insights into mRNA showed such awe inspiring intelligence, coupled with gobsmacking irresponsibility for consequences.
@DrDRich
Where’s Scott Ritter?
As in, where is Former Marine Scott Ritter’s opinion and valuable insight on Navalny….and, come to think of it, belatedly on his frendo Lira?”
Yer question is my command, so here ya go, a link to https://www.youtube.com/live/Ruv49PYBeds?si=vg0F46UzJkr5BVqm a video wherein one of my favorite human beings, Anna, interviews Scott about Navalny (and other interesting stuff).
It’s baffling and impossible to successfully negotiate with a psychopath until one truly understands their mindset (which is a pretty damned uncomfortable feat all in itself!), because until you accomplish that you won’t be able to understand them or make them understand you.
Look at the multi-crisis for example. We don’t believe THEM when they tell us they mean to turn us into livestock and dead stock, and they don’t believe US when we tell them that they better knock it off OR ELSE !
It doesn’t do much good to tell a psychopath to stop being bad and be good “or else”, because if they do not BELIEVE the “or else” part of it then the threat will have no effect and they’ll just go right on being bad because what they BELIEVE is that you won’t stop them. And so long as you don’t stop them then their estimate that you won’t stop them (which they BELIEVE) also happens to be true and actual. That’s why they believe it, and it is also the entire reason and justification they cling to as proof of their own basic rightness. They are, as you know, as crazy as bedbugs
Successful negotiation depends on them believing the “or else” part of it, and that depends on it being actually true, and unfortunately that usually depends on carrying through and actually making it true by doing it.
If you think on that for a while you might notice that in THIS case ( the narrow case in which an “or else” threat is believed by both sides to be a hollow falsehood) it’s the psychopath who’s being rational. Until he is not.
The mindset of psychopathy is that it is definitively good to do anything they want to do that others don’t stop them from doing. Very very simple. One might even say idiotically simple.
But not as idiotic as dealing with psychopaths as though they were NOT psychopaths.
When negotiating terms of acceptable behavior to a psychopath those statements must be presented in such a way that the psychopath BELIEVES them. The “or else” part of the terms should be clearly stated and fully meant. For example: “If you commit a felony you will be physically arrested and put in prison.”
Ideally these terms are presented as fait accompli. Then the psychopath believes them for sure. Until reality is made manifest to them, however, they will believe that it’s just a bunch of big talk (which it often is) and go right on doing the crime that they’re doing before being so rudely interrupted by their victims’ call for justice.
So, don’t bother to threaten a psychopath. Just inform and then do.
Most of us are not ready to do that because we fear (reasonably) that all this might come to force and violence, and know that force, violence and overwhelming the free will of others are wrong. We are right in knowing that such actions degrade everyone involved, and especially those who are driven to such extremes in a last ditch stand against terrible evils that are on the verge of prevailing.
In a very real sense it is an act of loving self sacrifice that we are willing to resort to such extremes in order to snatch back to safety those teetering or falling into pure evil, because we know that sacrificing our innocence is a very very high price to pay. We pay with a coin much more valuable than our mere lives.
I know that I’m not telling you anything that you don’t already know, but especially in view of where all this crisis stuff is headed, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded once in a while.
@DrDRich
So, in my mind and parts of my family, the terms ‘businessman’, ‘doctor’, ‘manager’, ‘company man’, ‘capitalist’, ‘salesman’, ‘”conservative’, ‘politician’, ‘banker’, (to name a few) carry far more pejorative value than prostitute or whore ever will.”
And in my mind, too. Those who denigrate and humiliate their victims are very near the bottom of that Jakobs Ladder I spoke of, and I am not high enough on the ladder to forgive them. May God forgive me, but first those bastards must pay.
Do you ever feel like we’re all in the middle of a giant Milgram Experiment?

Here’s my question for local casuists, bamboozlers and minor Spellbinders.
Do y’all think Gina is a churchgoer or a synagogue-goer?”Most good whores will be anyone you pay them to be.
What does not kill me makes me stronger, so the Good Guys and Bad Guys (unable to genocide each other despite long and earnest effort) are both now stronger, and both more determined than ever.
I would say that a very big fight is brewing, so I’m putting my money on the House.
If you continually search for, demand, and accept truth, then you will meet God, because truth and free will are God’s gifts to us. In a very very real sense, God IS truth, and free will is your ability to find it.
It’s spooky how noodling around inspecting things that were seldom inspected before, you can bump into stuff that was exactly what you had been looking for but didn’t know it.
For example, aspnaz sneeringly called me Jakob the Jew. So I wondered who was this Jakob character? I knew he was a Biblical figure of some sort (because the name keeps popping up all over our civilization) but other than that I knew bupkis. The rest is history.
One of the things things Jake is known for (other than the proliferation of Jews) is the so-called “Jakobs Ladder” epiphany. Reportedly he was on the run from a violently ambitious brother and had a dream of Angels climbing and descending a ladder between the Earth and Heaven.
I understood the metaphorical dream immediately, but I also wondered how other people have interpreted it, so I started noodling around some more. BIG SURPRISE ! Nobody knew, or they had gotten it bass ackwards wrong. And all this time I had assumed that Jews were supposed to be so smart. Hmph!
What it meant is that people get better (go up the ladder) or get worse (go down the ladder) depending on whether they are engaging (or not) in one of those activities or the other. By going upward, and getting better, one is on their way to “Heaven”. Likewise, by going down the ladder (getting worse) they will eventually arrive on Earth. (and if you were looking for Hell and found Earth, you could stop looking.)
It’s not a complicated metaphor. It’s childishly simple. Go up and get better, go down and get worse, with an extreme at either end.
Only a lawyer could get it wrong.
In synopsis of yesterday’s argument between myself and an evasive fencepost calling himself @aspnaz, he actually (and accidentally, too, I’m sure) makes BOTH of my points for me (and shoots himself in the foot at the same time by calling me “Jakob the Jew.”
My point I had been making which apparently derailed his brain, is that even though there certainly are so-called “Jews” (a hopelessly ambiguous term in the first place) who conspire to do BAD stuff, THEY ARE NOT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RABBIT HOLE. The have progenitors and masters and teachers who predate the Judeans by many thousands of years (at least).
You see, Jakob the “Jew” was not a Jew. He was Hebrew (the tribe who spawned Judeans). It was the people that he tyrannized who later went on the to become the Jews that we all know and love so well. And Jakob wasn’t the start of it either, because if you think that Jake was an asshole you should take a look at his mentors and ancestors. What a crew. Better not trust any of them with your dog or your sister.
Meanwhile, over in China, and without the slightest notion that Hebrews or Jews even exist, the warlords and emperors are having a grand old time slaughtering babies, stacking skulls and writing DIY books for aspiring psychopaths who would also like to master the art of war if they could just learn the bestest fastest way to go about doing it.
This is not to even mention what was going on over in that other Hemisphere or down in Africa. So let’s just ease back on the throttle a bit with that hair-aflame diatribe about how JEWS !!! (who’ve only been around for maybe 6 thousand years) are the fountainhead SOURCE of all evil. Just stop it!
And yes, Aspie old boy who can’t grow up, if an EXCEPTION to your absolute statement is proven to be true then your proposed statement is thereby PROVEN to be FALSE, and that’s all there is to it. The action of disproval of a theory is a verb called “falsifying”, and it is one of the foundational corner stones of science (along with things like truth, observation, testing by experiment, and so on).
Example: The statement that all swans are white was DISPROVEN by the discovery of a million black swans in Australia. Not all swans are white. Not all Jews are bad.
Why do you suppose that is?
closing note: if you absolutely must mock me with a demeaning nickname, don’t use Jew Boy. Use Altar Boy, instead. It’s funnier.
Jewboy Eisenhower starved millions of Germans to death. No fuckin monument to that.”{
No, he didn’t, although he certainly did assist a lot of Nazis to move from this vale of tears on to their next plane of existence. The starvation charges against Ike are from a scurrilous book that didn’t get published until 19 fucking 89. That’s a little long for such a huge and public crime to be concealed from the GERMAN friends and families who would have been effected by so many deaths. I call bullshit. EXTREME bullshit.
And wasn’t Jewish either.
(snitched from the Web) “The Eisenhauer (German for “iron hewer/miner”) family migrated from Karlsbrunn in Nassau-Saarbrücken, to America, first settling in York, Pennsylvania, in 1741, and in the 1880s moving to Kansas. Accounts vary as to how and when the German name Eisenhauer was anglicized to Eisenhower. Eisenhower’s Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors, who were primarily farmers, included Hans Nikolaus Eisenhauer of Karlsbrunn, who migrated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1741.Dwight D. Eisenhower’s lineage includes German ancestors and Swiss German ancestors.”
I was noodling around in Google, Copilot and chat GPT-4, and stumbled across the peculiarest damn thing. I wouldn’t even bother to mention it except that, as crazy as this sounds, there seems to be a significant probability (not certain, but better than 50/50) that “aspnaz” is the English translation of the Chinese word 阿斯普纳兹 , which means Ashkenazi. Yeah, you read that right. It may be off the wall and wrong, but it’s definitely not a typo
Could it be that our favorite Jew hater is actually an undercover Ashkenazi Jew with a twisted sense of humor? Naw! Couldn’t be! But on the other hand, it would explain a lot.
Clear this up for me @aspnaz. What does your handle “aspnaz” stand for? Is chat GPT-4 having a digital breakdown, or are you someone other than you have presented yourself to be?
PLEASE don’t fly into an abusive conniption fit. Maybe Google screwed things up. Stranger things have happened, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Just answer the question and that will be that.
So, if you find any lost NATO troops, please let them know where they are!”
We’ve triangulated their coordinates, and it has been confirmed that their location is up Shit Creek without a paddle.
No matter how hard @aspnaz tries to deflect attention from himself by baiting me with crude play-ground insults and projecting the truly absurd insinuation that crusty old Dr D is somehow “Woke”, the fact remains that @aspnaz is wrong because his attempted logic wrong. The simple fact is that the conspiratorial crimes of SOME obviously conspiring Jews does not establish the guilt of ALL Jews in either the crimes or the conspiracy. @aspnaz’s insistence that it does prove such sweeping and all inclusive guilt of all Jewish people is simply NOT logical and NOT true.
Furthermore, his ever increasing strident profanity in promoting his obviously WRONG conclusion is starting to have a negative effect on the general conversation.
Knock it off, aspie.
I just thought of a way to cut your car insurance costs to near zero, while at the same time protecting you from expensive collisions.
Just paint a big poster on each side of your car that reads, “Uninsured, Broke, Short Tempered and Desperate”.
No one is gonna want to get anywhere near you or your car, resulting in no accidents.The Germans had very good reasons for kickin those shitheads out of their country.”
And how did that work out for the Germans in the short, medium and long term? Looks to me that there are only two possible explanations for the strategic failure to accomplish fuck-all except needless bloodshed. Possibility #1 is that the Germans did a shit job of genocide, and possibility #2 is that they didn’t kill the right people. Knowing what I know about the Germanic propensity for organization, attention to detail and thoroughness, I believe I’m gonna have to go with door #2.
And by the way, you should do something about that anger. It’s making you lash out at the wrong target, and miss..If you knew the depth of the irony of calling me Altar Boy you would be belly laughing as hard as I am. I may have been the only Altar Boy in the long history of the Catholic Church to have been fired for irremediable incompetence.
@DrDRich
Who is Dr Dick and Altar Boy?
That would be the good Dr D and me. Sorry about the mud splatter, but the kids are acting up again.
By your logic, then, it’s all over and I guess that you, we, and every other goyim in the world should just roll over and await the inevitable coming of the Jews
I’m of a more proactive frame of mind and prefer to stop them, which requires me to know what I’m up against. The first thing I’ve learned about that is that it didn’t start with the Jews and therefore won’t end with them either.
How did things go after Mr Hitler started killing every living Jew (man, woman and innocent child) that he could get his filthy hands on? Did the world as a whole get a whole lot better or a whole lot worse in the past 80 years or so?
Looks like it wasn’t just them, then, doesn’t? Such a perfectly conceived genocide of mostly innocent women and children, and all for less than nothing. Sounds to me like your great plan isn’t much more thunk out than his was. Would work about as well, too. It’s like the case of the farmer who thought he could rid his herd of cow-flies by killing every fly that ever flew. Never occurred to him that it might have something to do with the big steaming heap of cow manure that he kept next to the barn.
@MyParentsSaidKnow
Just what you think it is. In a petunia.”
People say that diamonds are forever. Nah, no way. Diamonds are for a long time, but not forever. I’ll tell ya something that’s forever. DNA is for forever.
The intensity of your misdirected anger seems to be blocking your ability to read.
Putting all your eggs in one basket has long been known to be a bad idea, yet the owners are insisting that this is what us plebs should do. Can you see a problem here? All eggs in one basket? Come on, we know this is a stupid thing to do, we even have idioms passed down from our ancestors telling us that this is a bad idea, yet the owners are insisting on this plan. I wonder why?”
At the risk of answering what I suspect is rhetorical question, the reason the owners want to put all of the eggs in one basket is because consolidation requires centralization of control by a smaller and more easily manageable core group of controllers whose entire lives are dependent upon the continual consolidation of the basket. The owners reckon that the entire basket is THEIRS (since they “own” it in the lawfare sense of the word).
A fringe benefit of this strategy and practice is that the owners of bigger baskets claim a bigger share of the eggs because they see themselves as having bigger value because they own bigger baskets. It’s basically one of those “vicious cycle” kind of thing that we keep running into because we still don’t see that we are proactively participating in the insanity (with more than a little “help” from the Bad Guys.)
