The Kavanaugh Nomination Drama

In my former blog I got caught in the Flint water scandal (declared "National Disaster" by Obama) and followed up the issue from the first water analysis to the fate of the millions channeled to Flint. Now I am being fascinated by the Brett Kavanaugh debate in the Senate. Kavanaugh is a Republican nominee, in a country divided. The trial, because that is what is, was carefully orchestrated. Feinstein kept the sexually abused woman in reserve till the moment came to make her public. The tactic was to gain time and leave the position open, so she was not allowed to fly - under false pretenses - to Washington. The Democrats did not let the issue be finished in the Committee, they lost but won a week and complicated the process by an FBI investigation aimed at collecting dirt on the candidate.

My impression that it is reasonable that two drunk teenagers tried to play with the drunk girl, but at 17 they were virgins and did not know how to do it. No penetration nor anything resembling it. To inflate this episode into a gang rape is ludicrous. The police would not even register the incident, as no one was hurt and they were all underage and drunk. Basically, nothing happened.

Brett had an enviable youth, a week in the beach with his friends, sports, beers, fun. None of the identity hang ups of a refugee Jew like me. He was happily unaware that he was the ruling class of America and "privileged". He appears a serious, responsible candidate to the Supreme Judge, a man born and raised for the job. I see nothing wrong with him.

 I assume the second raw were sitting the Senators' assistants and trainees, the future generation of American legislators. There was an immobile fat African woman, is she the next "Wise Latina"/"Wise Bantu"? Heather Sawyer, a homo activist and minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, was there. As we use to say, we survived the Pharaoh, we shall survive them too. Sad to see America so hysterical and divided.

Lindsey Graham: I am a single white man.

Yesterday's Senate Committee meeting was riveting. I found many little diamonds hidden in the manure-mound of the debate. At least we know Lindsey will never be accused of inappropriate behavior with a woman. I liked his blond clean look and I was impressed by his strong speech in the debate. He was the only man among those lachrymose little politicians, all shamelessly licking the ass of that woman. What she was doing at 15 in a drinking ski party with four bigger boys? 

Senator Graham, who has been in office since 2003 and serves on the armed services senate committee, shares with us the opinion that the last thing the world needs is a nuclear-armed Iran.  Quote: 'My view of military force would be not to just neutralise their nuclear programme, which are probably dispersed and hardened, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and neuter that regime." Graphicly said, Sir. 

Warning

I am watching Judge Kavanaugh confirmation. Senator(ess) Clobuchar just said "We have to consider what internet sites (the defendant) looks to". She was not referring specifically to Judge Kavanaugh but to her experience as prosecutor.

Warning!  Don't look at this site if you want to be confirmed to anything. I am a natural born Jewish intellectual, lifelong liberal (almost socialist), but many classify me as rightist because I love the settlers of Judea and Samaria. I even think that the rapid re-peopling of those "territories" (a miserable plot of infertile calcareous soil of 10,000 sq.km.) in our generation is like a dream, like a miracle. Be warned that this is a Zionist pro-settler site.

Ariel Sharon (L) sits with his wife Lily (3rdL) and his sons, Gilad (2ndL) and Omri (4thL) in the West Bank in this picture taken in 1977. I think the pic was taken at the foundation of the city of Ariel. Begin spoke. I was there. 

Where are the slaves of the Ethiopian Jews?

An entry in Facebook tells about the Ethiopian Jews. They like others in Ethiopia, they too had Sudanese Bantu slaves, that trekked with their masters and families to the Sudan, where they too were all taken to Israel. The writer says that the original Jews do not marry with the slaves even in Israel, and there are cases that the original Ethiopian Jewish recruit refuses to obey orders from an Ethiopian officer of the slave class. I never heard about this but it would be only too human if true. Pic.: The origin of the story. 

Trump is winning the trade war against the world

Trump has done little in terms of foreign trade, yet he has frightened China, Germany and other exporting countries to discipline themselves. Almost all the currencies have lost worth vis-à-vis the mighty dollar. CNBC  estimates that the external debt of 205 countries is $76.9 trillion in dollars. A 1 percent increase in the cost of debt results in a need to increase interest payments by $769 billion dollars. A 2 percent increase, which is close to what has been the rise in the effective Fe Funds rate, if spread globally, would force nations to increase their payments by $1.5 trillion. To the USA. What are the tariffs on 200 billion dollars on China imports? Peanuts. 

Jews paying most of the tax in California

Delano county pays 12 million tax per year, Palo Alto many billions. This was the typical situation in the German towns in the Middle Ages, where the municipalities were financed by Jewish taxes. My grandfather paid the largest taxes in his city of Vac (Weitzen) in prewar Hungary.

Misunderstanding with Russia

Israel sent 4 F-16 to destroy some Iranian facility in North Syria and coincidentally, a IL-20 Russian spy plane was arriving. The Syrian antiair using Russian S-200 downed the Russian with 15 dead. A tragic fuckup. Now the Russian are accusing the Israeli planes that they hid behind the Russian one, causing its destruction. It is a very serious issue. Syria is owned by Russia.

Next Day: Russia decides to supply  S-300 antimissile systems to Assad. It will make more dangerous to bomb Syria, for Israel and for the USA too. Not to mention that S-300 in incompetent hands represent the most danger to the Russians, as proved by the incident that cost the lives of 15 Russian personnel. Not good.

Astonishing! The Russian report does not mention the Syrian antiair battery that shot down the plane. It talks only about the Israelis. It reminds me of the famous case of a Jew beaten to death under the Szalasi fascist regime in Hungary, where in a fight among Nazis, a Jew ambled in and seeing a chair coming in his way, he moved aside and chair hit a Nazi. The gang stopped fighting and moved as one man to beat the Jew.
