Essentially to more 'centrist' Democrats if you're not with Joe Biden in having the Pentagon direct Ukranian missile attacks into Russia you're a Russian shill. On the other side MAGA retards think Trump is something different. In reality this is Trump's wall actually put together. He's happy to keep the US murder machine going - he's just making Ukraine 'pay for it'.

I ask the AI about the Semitic genetic affinities of Iranians/Persians, Maltese, and Sardinians     (OccidentalEnclave)

No, Persians are not genetically Semitic. Persians are Indo-European, specifically belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the language family. They speak Farsi, a modern that have led to some mixing and shared genetic comp

Indo-European Origins:Iranian language. Semitic languages, on the other hand, include Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic, among others. While there have been historical interactions and migrations

Persians are descendants of Indo-Aryan tribes who migrated to the Iranian plateau centuries before the Common Era. onents, Persians are not primarily Semitic in their genetic makeup.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Genetic Connections:

While Persians share some genetic ancestry with other groups in the Middle East and Central Asia, their genetic profile is primarily shaped by Indo-European ancestry.

Semitic Languages:

Semitic languages have a different linguistic and genetic history than Persian, with origins in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula.

No Significant Semitic Genetic Input:

While there may be some minor traces of Semitic ancestry in some individuals, the majority of the Persian population's genetic heritage is Indo-European.

Historical Interactions:

There have been historical interactions between Persian and Semitic-speaking groups, but these interactions have not resulted in a significant genetic shift towards a primarily Semitic ancestry.

My recent forays into a Southern Baptist church     (OccidentalEnclave)
submitted by Joe_McCarthy to OccidentalEnclave 3 days ago (+1/-2)
9 comments last comment...
The last two Sundays I've attended there. First was Easter. The pastor is a 70 something white male. His right hand man is a nigger that can best be characterized as a black Foghorn Leghorn from Mississippi. On Easter there was an interracial couple there consisting of a nigger, a white woman, and their spawn. The place also had a notable number of Hispanics. Whites were definitely the minority.

This last Sunday I go again. I arrive early in the midst of Sunday school. Out of maybe 10 people there the pastor and I are the only whites. I find out during the main service that the pastor is married to one of the Hispanic women there, who has a heavy accent. Once again whites are a minority at the service.

I've seen much whiter scenes at liberal religious gatherings. But unlike Nigger Leghorn they won't tell you you're going to hell. They'll just talk about trannies.

The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in the country.

This is what passes for a 'conservative' church nowadays. Mostly the conservatives just avoid politics in their sermons. The liberals politicize religion heavily.

Now reading: Just and Unjust Wars by Michael Walzer     (OccidentalEnclave)

Walzer is a noted social scientist, Jew, and just war theorist controversial for his defense of terrorism. The crib notes is that he argues terrorism can only be justified if a people face annihilation. Ironically he was inspired by WW2 anti-fascist partisanship in making his case - but it has very obvious application in the here and now.

I have posted on Walzer previously:

Civilization constrains Eros     (OccidentalEnclave)
submitted by Joe_McCarthy to OccidentalEnclave 2 days ago (+1/-3)

The fuck n' suck is Sadean. You might call it Sade Arabia given its transvaluation of values and smashing of present bourgeois norms. But its more modern influence is late Freudian and how Freudians built on Freud.

https://www.upgoat.net/viewpost?postid=68110622abb46&commentid=681153a467cfa

"In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud theorized the fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual; his theory is grounded in the notion that humans have certain characteristic instincts that are immutable.[4] The primary tension originates from an individual attempting to find instinctive freedom, and civilization's contrary demand for conformity and repression of instincts. Freud states that when any situation that is desired by the pleasure principle is prolonged, it creates a feeling of mild resentment as it clashes with the reality principle.

"Primitive instincts—for example, the desire to kill and the insatiable craving for sexual gratification—are harmful to the collective wellbeing of a human community."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_and_Its_Discontents

Which is to say Freud saw this repression of Eros, or sexual freedom, as necessary. The difference for Freudians like Norman O. Brown, Wilhelm Reich, and to a lesser extent Marcuse, was that they saw this repression as harmful and its overthrow as likely.

Irving Kristol pretty much summed up this thinking:

https://www.nytimes.com/1971/03/28/archives/pornography-obscenity-and-the-case-for-censorship-pornography.html

"It is true that, in our time, some quite brilliant minds have come to the conclusion that a reversion to infantile sexuality is the ultimate mission and secret destiny of the human race."

AI rundowns on Sade, Brown, Marcuse, and Reich pertaining to this:

The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America’s Secret Government

https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/studies-in-intelligence/volume-60-no-3/the-devils-chessboard-allen-dulles-the-cia-and-the-rise-of-americas-secret-government/

It's right in the open really. To the point where the CIA site itself links to PDFs of reviews of books telling you who secretly runs things, even if the CIA author is partially contrary.

https://z-library.sk/book/11833424/39d86c/the-devils-chessboard-allen-dulles-the-cia-and-the-rise-of-americas-secret-

Another long but should read book in this vein:

https://z-library.sk/book/1676358/d483bb/ghost-wars.html

This one even won a Pulitzer. You don't even need to read fringe stuff to know what's what.

It's at this point I should note that my father was a US intelligence agent. He didn't tell me much of what he did, and it was classified anyway, but what he did tell me jives with all of this and what I've since learned about him and intelligence agencies from other sources...

I ask the AI about a Hibernian Occupied Government, or HOG, and it amusingly gives me a thoughtful response     (OccidentalEnclave)
submitted by Joe_McCarthy to OccidentalEnclave 20 hours ago (+1/-3)
2 comments last comment...
The phrase "Hibernian occupied government" likely refers to a period in Irish history when a government, or parts of it, were controlled by the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), a Catholic fraternal society. While the AOH played a significant role in Irish nationalism and Irish-American communities, it's not accurate to say they "occupied" a government in the sense of a takeover. The AOH exerted influence through its political activities, including supporting Irish nationalist causes and the Irish Parliamentary Party, but it was not a ruling body itself.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH):

This society was founded in the 19th century, primarily among Irish Catholic immigrants, and aimed to provide support, protection, and cultural preservation.

Influence on Politics:

The AOH became a powerful auxiliary to the Irish Parliamentary Party in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Ulster. They supported policies that aligned with Irish nationalism and Home Rule, which was a proposal to grant Ireland self-governance within the United Kingdom.

Not a Rulng Body:

While the AOH wielded significant influence and played a key role in shaping political discourse, it was never in charge of a government. It was a fraternal society that exerted influence through political action, not through occupying government seats or imposing their will on the existing structure.

Examples of Influence:

The AOH's influence is evident in their support for Home Rule, their role in Irish-American communities, and their contributions to nationalist movements, including the Irish Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Irish Free State.
