What exactly is your point here?

The Nazi’s may not have invented antisemitism, but the certainly took the concept and ran with it.

Again, what exactly is your point?

The German Govt, The Nazi’s, Adolph Hitler did NOT invent anti-semiticism, pogroms or Genocide! They were a product of their times!!!!!! They did not arise in a VACUUM!

Jeese people. Do we not realize that Antisemitism was a GLOBAL gold Standard prior to World War II! Do we not realize that zoning laws in AMERICA were frequently more harsh and discriminatory against JEWS than they were against BLACKS?!?!?!?!?!?

Blaming the German Govt, or The NAZIs, or Uncle Adolph IS A COMPLETE, UTTER, WHITE WASH!

The Holocaust was a grass roots movement that spanned the world. Go watch this film, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defiance_(2008_film),

Note the objection by the Jewish Elders to joining the resistance against the NAZIs. As far as they were concerned there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between Stalin and the Communists and Hitler and the NAZIs. Heck even under the TZARS Cossack Cavalry used Jewish villages as live fire exercises so they could practice obliterating and sacking villages and towns! YES they used the live Jews as moving targets, all of them, men women and children.

We really need to get a grip on this total myth that antisemitism was a product of NAZI Germany. That’s just a whitewash that the rest of Europe uses to paint over the fact that they supported what the NAZIS were doing for the most part.

I attached the wrong links! (It is a good song though)

Here’s the Kaepernick girlfriend article link:

And the Green Beret link:

And here is one about the Green Beret who recommended Kaepernick kneel instead of sit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdbrIrFxas0

Good intentions but I think it was poor strategy. Never should have brought it into the stadium (if he felt uncomfortable about the anthem then he should have remained in the locker room and come out after). It ended up antagonizing people who may have been sympathetic. And as I stated above the NFL and owners completely failed in their reaction.
Suppose the NBA learned something – look how they reacted to Cuban wanting to ditch the anthem.

Roe v Wade 1973

Anyway, the people I hold more responsible are Roger Goodell and the NFL owners. They could have simply taken the stand that employees are not allowed to express political beliefs during NFL events. What players could wear etc was already closely controlled so it would be following precedent. If they liked they could have supported Kaepernik as private citizens outside NFL events.
Instead, they not only left fans angry and insulted (If Kaepernik had an honest concern about black lives, kneeling for the anthem was a terrible way to get support) but they put the other players, especially black players in a very difficult position.
IMO just awful management, “epic fail”. SOB’s are lucky to have Brady and Mahomes to draw fans.

Your being a bit too cynical. While any judge can skew a case one way or the other based in an unspoken bias or a wink and a nod, as a general rule black and white justice is generally done in court. Generally, and there are no absolutes or ideals here its a messy business any way you look at it. You are going to have to make a distinction and an accommodation.

And Flynn, Manafort and Stone were certainly in the Political Realm and were all unjustly politically persecuted by the FBI leadership, prosecutors and the courts because they were in fact Political realm players. Without a doubt. And it was OUTRAGEOUS!

(And funny, I was going to use the word “Semblance” but chose “Assemblance”)

“And the only hope? The people, the audience, is watching it all and they have an opportunity to comment when the time presents itself. And that of course assumes some assemblance of a fair election, and there in Democracy either lives or dies.”

I agree. (well, I’d say “semblance” rather than “assemblance” but I bend the language too).
Thing is, most watching C-Span are partisan or sleeping. Don’t expect this testimony to appear on mainstream news outlets.
We are going to have to retain the knowledge (don’t put it past the tech masters and media outlets to “edit” the past) and quietly disseminate it.
Elections? Huge problem, again, get the word out and if you can get involved.
They are going to present mail-in ballots as the new norm, and anyone who questions them is a dangerous, crackpot, conspiracy theorist (racist too of course).
Try to get on Board of Elections, work as a poll worker or observer. ( Masking of one’s political views to get into a position to observe is ethical in my humble opinion).
Keep buying pillows, donating to outfits like Veritas, BtB…
Off to the next thread of the banned and blacklisted!

Mike: Review all my blacklist posts. No one was doing this on someone else’s dime, as Kaepernik. I think was very clear about the distinction.

If I worked as a bank clerk and insulted each customer as they entered, which is essentially what Kaepernik did during football games, then the bank would be totally within its rights to fire me.

Carano was not expressing her opinions while on film, for Disney. It was on her own free time. As I said, had Kaepernick did the same and was then fired, I would have been very sympathetic to him, even though I consider his opinion ignorant, bigoted against whites, and hateful.

If you can’t see this distinction we have nothing more to talk about. And you did ask for my nuanced opinion.

I didn’t think you’d have sympathy for him, but I’d at least expect you to acknowledge his very right to express whatever he feels like.

Just like miss Carano.

Mike: I had little sympathy for Kaepernick. He wasn’t expressing his political opinions on his own free time, he was doing it while on his job, a job that had nothing to do with politics.

If he had devoted his free time to his anti-American hate campaign and kept it off the playing field, I would have more sympathy for him. He did not and not only did he destroy his own career by doing so, he helped destroy the careers of almost every other football player. Their golden goose is now dead, and will never be back. Those millions of ex-fans offended by Kaepernick’s hate for them will not be back. They have found other things to do with their Sundays.

Banks Doxing their customers violates their Rights.

https://www.revolver.news/2021/02/bank-of-america-doxing-its-customers-isnt-just-a-scandal-it-could-be-a-crime/

“No financial institution, or officer, employees, or agent of a financial institution, may provide to any Government authority access to or copies of, or the information contained in, the financial records of any customer except in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. ”

SUE THEM!

You may not have agreed with the message, but I hope everyone understands how much he lost, simply for voicing his opinions.

Here is a clear example between the Political Realm and the Pedestrian Realm.

https://youtu.be/zfJaxhA4sP8

In the real world where the Pedestrian Realm law is based in evidence and law the Senate and what they were up to in the impeachment of a former president and private citizen would be thrown out of court in about two minutes.

““this is black and white Pedestrian Realm law.” Yeah, and so was the notion that the Constitution places election law in the hands of state legislatures or impeachment is for a sitting president not a former president.”

Election law administered by the states and their legislators (Politicians) and Constitutional law (Interpreted and argued by lawyers and Politicians) are both of the Political realm. Black and white law is of the Pedestrian realm, and shades of gray are of the Political realm, you are mixing the two. Keep them well separated and keep your sanity. Mix and confuse them and you can not make heads or tails of anything.

And nothing, especially in politics, is that simple, and I stand by pretty much everything that I have ever written here in regards to politics and what is underway.

Just like what is underway in the Senate right now, and that is purely a political action and it has NOTHING to do with anything other than politics. If you were to call that a trial as defined by the Pedestrian Realm legal system that would be one big and confusing mistake.

Politics, the dirtiest, filthiest most corrupt business the human beings participate in.

And the only hope? The people, the audience, is watching it all and they have an opportunity to comment when the time presents itself. And that of course assumes some assemblance of a fair election, and there in Democracy either lives or dies.

Mitch S: You might want to reread my comment. Though I agreed with Cotour that all avenues must be pursued, aggressively, I also expressed skepticism that it will work, for exactly the reasons you outline in your comment above.

As you say, the problem runs deep. I point this out repeatedly in my blacklist posts, underlining the eager willingness of ordinary people to join in on this blacklisting. It isn’t any longer coming from above. It is a terrible wave of hate coming from below. I have feared this for more than two decades, and now I fear it is about to overwhelm us all.

I agree Carano and others should pursue legal remedies but I’m not that optimistic they will be victorious, rather the effort needs to be made to show it was tried and underline the depth of society’s corruption.

“this is black and white Pedestrian Realm law.”
Yeah, and so was the notion that the Constitution places election law in the hands of state legislatures or impeachment is for a sitting president not a former president.

Everything is open to interpretation depending on the “correctness” or “incorrectness” of those involved.
Look at what is going on at the NYT:

https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/read-the-column-the-new-york-times-didnt-want-you-read/

The problem runs deep, it’s not just a matter of pushing aside some corrupt leaders at the top – the rank and file have been brainwashed.
Note the NYT management didn’t want to fire McNeil, they were forced to after the staff protested. (And so they dare not publish Stephens’ piece). And Parler’s (former) CEO said the same about Amazon – that Amazon’s staff pushed management to kick Parler off the platform.
It’s going to be a long time effort.

Cotour, for 4 years you’ve been sure Trump has a plan, the Dem’s comeuppance is just around the corner, Sidney Powell, Giuliani and Lin Wood had a closet full of Krakens ready to roar… I wish it were that simple.

“EQUALITY” !

Give them what they say they want.

In a fairly short time the mass of the American people would put an end to it all.

They can not be stopped. unless logic gets a chance to win.

Heck why not encourage all male prisoners to claim they are transitioning and should be housed in the female prisons?

Comparing the treatment of Christians & political conservatives in modern day America to German Jews during the Holocaust hits just a little too close to home for the Chinese govt. as this is EXACTLY what they’re currently doing to Christians, Uyghurs and other “undesirable” ethnic groups. I’m thinking someone behind the red curtain gave Disney a tap on the shoulder reminding them that Ms. Carano was clearly not thinking “right thoughts”, an example must be made.

In 2017, ABC suddenly cancelled Tim Allen’s #2-rate show “Last Man Standing”. Allen got the last laugh when Fox decided to pick up the show for another three seasons. Fox is ending the show in what appears to be normal course (it ran for nine years), at least they gave the cast & writers plenty of time to prep for the final season (showing this year) rather than unceremoniously dumping them.

Another form of entertainment that’s about to disappear: stand-up comedy. Can you imagine Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, George Carlin, or even Robin Williams doing their stuff in todays PC environment? Carlin said it best (paraphrasing here): “It’s a big club, and guess what? YOU AIN’T IN IT!” You can still find some of Carlin’s best prescient stuff on YouTube, better watch it before it gets deleted. Check out his “Life is Worth Losing” and other performances from around 2005.

I think a demand be made of ALL professional sports teams, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Football, that there be at least 51% of their teams roster / players on the field be female.

https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/united-states/quick-facts/all-states/female-population-percentage#map

Use their own strategy against them, the slippery slope works for anyone who dares get too close to it. And these corporations are tied by their own logic, their rhetoric and the law to publicly do what they themselves say they support.

Demand EQUALITY!!

Do you agree with any of these listed items?

1. If you agree the word, “Mother” and “Breast Milk” be officially replaced with the terms, “Birthing Parent”, “Chest Milk” or “Human Milk”.

2. If you agree that a person who is born a biological male, with all of the associated physical advantages of size and power, but identifies as a female, should be able to freely compete in sports with females and that be called equality.

3. If you agree that during a world wide pandemic that the borders of America should be open without concern and flooded with people who may well be infected.

4. If you agree that the government and the corporations they are aligned with have the Right to censor media and what the people of America are able to see, read, say and think based on their standards.

5. If you agree that violent criminals should not be apprehended or jailed.

6. If you agree that anti American radicals should be allowed to threaten and reign violence and burn buildings as they please without consequences or arrest.

7. If you think that people should be placed on a list and lose their jobs because of their “Wrong Think” political beliefs.

8. If you agree that Communist China should be empowered over the interests of America.

9. If you agree that there must not or should never be any examination of any ballots or the systems that tabulate and control them in Americas election system.

10. If you agree that the National Anthem is offensive.

If you agree with any one or more of the above listed items, you are a DEMOCRAT as per the agenda which I have listed above that the Democrats in America are now all about and what they promote. What do you really think about where you are in your politics? What exactly do you support?
