Despondence

I am feeling the effect of six months of pandemics. I feel prisoner at home. When walking the street, people keeps its distance and avoids me. No theater, shopping once week or so, no visits from friends. TEVA is being sued again and lost 25% more of its already abysmal price. The riots in Wisconsin are depressing. 

Geopolitical Realignment

 Richard Falk, an 80 y/o/ former professor of international law from Princeton University, has said Arab countries have shifted their alliance which was against Israel toward Iran.

“The primary alignment of the Arab countries has shifted from antagonism toward Israel to Iran, with Israel becoming a tacit partner and coupled with U.S. backing."

Good.

 Another: 3 crazy people tried escaping an insane asylum While running the first one said "if there is a tall fence well dig under it" The second one said "if there is a short fence well jump over it" The third one ran forword and said "guys we are screwed there is no fence" 

In an insane asylum one night, someone cried "I am John Lennon!" His caretaker said, "How do you know?" The patient said, "God told me!" Just then, his roommate shouted, "I did not!"

India: OBCs and SCs and STs

The anti-Semitic Jewish Laws of the 1930s and 1940s defined Jews racially and by 1939, out of 6,738 advocates in Hungary, 3,523, or 52 percent, were classified as Jewish including converts.  In Budapest, among 3,386 advocates, 2,040, or 60 percent were Jewish.  The Second Jewish Law disbarred 1,488 advocates in Budapest, i.e., more than 70 percent, while in the other counties the percentage was even higher.

This database contains the names of 3,440 Jewish advocates listed in the 1944 edition of the official journal, the Budapesti Kozlony (Budapest Bulletin), together with names of the ethnic Hungarian lawyers that inherited their business. 

Tamil Brahmins, specially the Iyer caste, were the backbone of the British administration, but since independence they were gradually displaced by the OBCs. In a democracy, votes count, and about 50 to 70 of the population belongs to the darker, poorer castes, causing a political situation where the Indian administration (jobs, money) has been divided up following quotas.  The original scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs) were joined by the OBCs the other backward castes, and together were assigned 50% of the "cake". Tamil Brahmins were ethnically cleansed and all openings for advancement were closed before them. The consequence was massive emigration. Many arrived to the USA and soon they became the wealthiest ethnic minority of the country. Kamala Harris's mother belonged to this elite group. 

The ethnic quota system favors the "Backward Classes" and rapidly leads to the emigration of the talented. Already there are quotas in America in the elite universities and many government areas. American Jews should study Hungary's Numerus Clausus legislation and extract their conclusions.

Day of Doing Nothing

 It appears that yesterday I was more tired than thought and today I could not focus and work. I am not depressed just not concentrating in work. Read some Pandoren story by Boris Akunin, then Truth by Terry Pratchett of the Diskworld, then I watched Addio Africa, a 1964 film about the times of Stanleyville and the return of Moise Tsombe from exile. The scene of the mass massacre of the Arabs in Zanzibar are  memorable. I am always shocked watching 70 years old films and photographs how skinny people was then. There are no people like that today.
