I have refrained from essay writing for a bit, as the mourning period for Charlie Kirk overlaps the Jewish High Holy Days. I am breaking my silence in the wake of the silence of “good people” that has greeted the fanatical Jew-hatred of the Carlson-Fuentes-Gaetz-Greene-Massie-Owens-Peters axis. The mischief these miscreants are perpetrating has the potential to destroy the MAGA alliance and hand political control back to the ANTIFA left, and maybe that is just what they want.
What do you think of the DEI movement? This implies that most Westerners were born racist. If you deny it, that just proves you are racist. This idea is kin to the hysteria over “climate denial”, “election denial”, “science denial”, “vaccine denial”, and so on. (I never understood how one could deny climate.) You are in a catch-22 you cannot escape, due to the mental derangement of loud-mouthed extremists.
Karl Popper was a philosopher of science in the mid-20th century. One of his goals was to formulate a definition of a scientific hypothesis. He stated that a scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable. That is, it should be possible to recognize evidence that might, in theory, refute the hypothesis. In simpler terms, we need to be able to keep an open mind, and validate or refute the hypothesis based on evidence. Heads-I-win-tails-you-lose does not make for an authentic scientific hypothesis. The various leftist articles of faith in the previous paragraph are all unfalsifiable; it is not possible to debate them even in theory.
What do you think of Tucker Qatarlson’s Carlson’s eulogy for Charlie Kirk at his memorial service? At a gathering for Christian worship and comfort for Kirk’s family, Carlson decided the most helpful thing to do would be to insinuate that Israel the Jews the hummus eaters might have killed Kirk, just the way they allegedly did to Jesus.
It didn’t matter that Kirk loved and defended Jews and Israel his whole life, earning him enemies on the right like Nick Fuentes. It didn’t matter that Bill Ackman and Ben Shapiro each donated $1 million to Turning Point USA, or that Ackman donated $1 million to a trust for the Kirk family.
No, it had to be the Jews, you know, the spawn of Satan, who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who were always murderers, as scripture informs us. The reason you lost that job opportunity is because of the Jews. The reason you lost that parking space is because of the Jews. Somehow, 0.2% of the world’s population (the Jews) manipulates the other 99.8% into doing what they want (although those manipulators are not doing a very good job).
How can Jews deny the supposedly objective truth of Christian scripture? It is not my scripture. That scripture is filled with lies about my people and my religion. I have given a lengthy talk refuting the libels of Christian scripture against Jews and Judaism. But it does not matter what evidence I bring to support my assertions, because Christian scripture is unfalsifiable.
The presumed 2028 candidacy of J. D. Vance for president will fail if he continues to make common cause with Carlson. The result will be catastrophic for America, with the 2030 Census taking place during the next presidential term.
What has disappointed me the most has been the icy silence of the “good Christians”, the ones who identify as allies of the Jews. They have quietly accepted the calumnies and rabble rousing of Carlson-Fuentes-Gaetz-Greene-Massie-Owens-Peters. I had intended to protest my college’s refusal to condemn Kirk’s assassination, as an ally to Christians there. Now I see those same “good Christians” refusing to condemn the anti-Semitic axis.
There is a reasonable probability that the 2028 election will be between a communist and a fascist. Republican turnout will plummet. If that happens, we will all lose, no matter who “wins”. Carlson and his ilk must be made personae non gratae within the conservative movement.
When people talk about the left and right wings they assume a straight line but your circle is much more appropriate, the extremes join in tyranny.
As for Candace Owens she would be nothing without Dennis Prager. He broadcast a podcast with Marisa this week for the first time since his tragic accident.
As most of those conservative "influencers" are heard/seen on media I don't access, I was not aware until very recently (thanks to Helen Hunt's Substack), that they were anti-Semite wolves disguised in sheep clothing. I guess they are so-called Christian Nationalists. They are all people with oversized egos who believe their views are the only proper or real ones. Owens and Peters (who has a slimy reputation) impress my as the type to jump on any popular bandwagon that will gain them clicks. Gaetz is a bit of a surprise. If they are in opposition to Trump and try to influence him, they will have a quick slide into infamy. I don't know if they are extremist right or relics of the KKK, but they will alienate the majority base of (MAGA) Republicans rather quickly. My only problem (other than their stink) is that they have large audiences that they can influence. We hardly need any more anti-Jew, anti-Israel haters now. We have more than enough. Hopefully, that group will reinforce regular support of Israel/Jews by their Nazi-like rants.
