News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

Also, contempt for humanities was deeply engrained in me by my Polytechnic professors.

Well... in Romania some kind of alien reptiloid mathematician won the presidential election. The guy even took first place at a Math Olympiad.

He has the charisma of a turnip, and is - I'm quite sure - autistic. Nonetheless, he beat the Pro-Russian, former hooligan, and ultra orthodox candidate that replaced the one that was banned.

What killed the chances of our pro-Russian gangster, was the moment when he actually opened his mouth at a televised debate... and everybody quickly realized he may be retarded. This was a big mistake, letting him out in front of cameras, but oh well!

What gives me more hope with Nawrocki is that he is not quite as retarded. After all, a retard cannot become head of the Institute of National Remembrance. He seems to be able to string a sentence together, and is able to look somewhat "presidential". Perhaps this might be just enough for the voters tired of Tusk and Co.

Why I am interested in the figure of Pan Nawrocki, is because Ukrainians have been ******** their pants at the possibility he may be elected.

He's more "famous" than a typical Polish presidential candidate, because Ukrainians have been seeing his face a lot due to his role as head of the Institute of National Remembrance. There, his hardline position on the exhumations irritated many Ukrainians. Almost nobody expected that this same person might become President of Poland.

His nomination by PiS seems like a direct attack on Ukraine - given that (from a Ukrainian perspective) - this man is known most for his outspoken views on Ukraine and little else.

pimp

When I first read this... I thought - surely Kania is exaggerating. And I was right!

Let's look at what Onet writes on the subject:

"Nasi rozmówcy opowiadają, że cena spotkania z prostytutką na Odlotach wynosiła w tamtym czasie średnio 100-150 zł, a maksymalnie 200 zł. Ochrona hotelu dyktowała gościom znacznie wyższe ceny - wszystko ponad tę wspomnianą kwotę było zyskiem ochroniarzy, którzy byli w układzie z sutenerem."

What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is called not pimping but arbitrage. Pan Nawrocki identified an inefficiency within the system - namely that prostitutes were selling themselves on Odloty.pl for prices smaller than the patrons of the Grand Hotel were willing to pay. This is the behavior of a shrewd capitalist, and reflects well on a future president.

-------

Further - Kania has characterized this man as a gangster, forming in my mind an impression of a thuggish man, with low intellectual capacity.

Somehow, Kania forgot to mention that Nawrocki was a student of history at the University of Gdansk, and the members of his "pimping gang" were also history students. As a history student myself, I find it deeply upsetting that Kania failed to consider that they may have had other motives than mere monetary gain. As an engineer - this is of course difficult for him to understand.

------

Finally - Kania should stop being embarrassed for Poland.

Israel had a president that raped ten women. Moshe Katsav.

Our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, has even remarked on this curious fact:

As Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with the Russian leader in an ornate reception room in the Kremlin on Wednesday, reporters overheard Putin tell him: "Say hello to your president. He really surprised us."

The microphones were then cut off, but a member of the Israeli delegation told The Associated Press that Putin went on to say of Katsav: "I met him. He didn't look like a guy who could be with 10 women."

Chief of Police fights crime in his office with a grenade launcher.

Despite calls for resignation, Szymczyk has since been promoted to Head of Ballistics Training, citing "lived experience" and "a strong spatial memory of projectile arcs in enclosed spaces."

I should incorporate Szymczyk into my PANSTWO book.

But seriously, are there no bakers, bricklayers, plumbers, bus drivers or other working people in Israel?

Israelis are not a rich people, by and large. They have the second highest poverty rate in the OECD, behind only Costa Rica.

The main pockets of poverty are Arab and Orthodox communities, with the Orthodox actually doing worse.
The Orthodox in general, represent a ticking time bomb under Israel.

In 1948, Ultra Orthodox Jews (funny guys with hats) made up less than 1% of Israel's population. By the 1970s they were around 4%. Today they are at 20%+, and by the middle of the century their numbers are projected to rise to 40% of the population.

The average Ultra Orthodox woman has 6-7 children. At the same time, the average Ultra Orthodox man does not work. In fact, the Bank of Israel states that over 60% of Ultra Orthodox men "do not work".

What do they do instead of working? They read books all day. Who pays for this? The State of Israel, their hard working wives (who because they are uneducated usually work only the lowest level jobs), and bleeding heart American Jews.

On top of refusing to work, and sitting pretty on welfare - these guys refuse to serve in the military. There are efforts now to force them, but they're quite good at staging mass protests where they throw pieces of pavement at Israeli cops.

So... just technically speaking there are a million people in Israel capable of driving a truck or baking some bread - and which really need the money too. The problem is that they like to pretend they are still living in a 19th century Belarusian village, and feel other people should be grateful to be able to support their Talmudic studies.

If you have a country of 350 million people... then the welfare system can be robust enough to support a few million lazy weirdos. If you have only 9 million people like Israel, that's not a very workable proposition.

Polish king who invited 70% of them

... and what they did in the Commonwealth and within the Tsardom - is exactly what they are good at now.

1) Running establishments that serve alcohol

2) Having a son or daughter, that lives above the pub, and that plays the piano or violin for patrons.

3) A brother that lends to stupids goys, behind on their bar tab.

4) An uncle that collects taxes from stupid Polish and Russian serfs, and then delivers that to his Sarmatian Pan.

5) A relative in Frankfurt or London, that writes about what articles of clothing or home goods are popular now in the West, and an offer to deliver these items for sale.

Here you see:

1) Entertainment
2) Music
3) Finance
4) International trade

I didn't come up with all this. It comes from Solzhenitsyn's book - "Two Hundred Years Together". It tells the story of how Russians shaped Jews, and how Jews shaped Russians.

Nasze kamienice, wasze ulice

This is what has pissed off people about Jews since before Julius Caesar.

A fundamental uncharitability towards those not like them. A lack of interest or curiosity, in the people on whose good will they depend on.

@Bratwurst Boy

When I was a kid, I used to tell my dad that all our problems began from losing the Jews.

Through pogroms and other forms of cruel repression, we made the world's largest Jewish population decamp and relocate to America.

In America, they created Hollywood, the music industry, furthered science, and wrote amazing literature.

Our loss was America's gain. Russian Jews were the smartest Jews in the world, and through our xenophobia we gifted them to America.

Today, in America they create, Google (Sergei Brin), Oracle (Larry Ellison), Bloomberg (Michael Bloomberg). The things that we envy, and wish were ours.

My father always told me: "They would not be able to create those things in Russia, because of how retarded our system is. Let them go, and fully realize their potential."

My father does not appreciate my view, of modern history, as a game of ping pong between states of "Who Has More Jews?". He says what makes America strong is inherent architectural features, not presence or absence of Jews.

Maybe he is right. My father is smart and I am stupid.

No "My country - right or wrong!" for Jews then..

Of course not. They have had it since only the 1940s.

These are still Germans, still Russians, still Frenchmen.

For example - look at how Israelis split when surveyed on the question of Ukraine. Look how they split when asked about their views on Trump.

They still carry the cultural DNA of the places they left/had rejected them.

It's the best they will ever get....

Jews, historically, seem to be more happy living amongst other populations than amongst themselves.

Read the Bible, or Josephus Flavius for a taste of how much Jews fought each other when still living together. You had Pharisees, Saducees, Sicarii, and Essenes fighting each other tooth and nail.

Gentiles begin getting frustrated when the percent of Jews in their life is above some nominal threshold. Imagine how a Jew feels, when 90% of everyone around him is a Jew? He feels trapped lol!

All my Jewish/Israeli acquaintances, after a few drinks, say that the worst part about living in Israel is "that it's full of Jews".

Even Jews know what it means to live around Jews.

Is it some kind of "stockholm syndrome" to their chosen host country?

By all accounts - Israel really is a sh*t place to live. So don't be too harsh...

To continue from my previous post:

1) Everyone hates each other. West European and American Jews are on top. Russian Jews are in the middle. Mizrahim and Sephardim lower still. Ethiopian Jews are the negroids of Israel. Arabs are "simply there" - everyone hates them except for the most left-bent Israelis.

2) The constantly volatile security environment leads to a collective sense of PTSD.

3) What was formerly a very small minority in he 1940s and 1950s (Orthodox Jews, basically Jihadists), is becoming an increasingly crucial demographic. They make babies nonstop, in comparison to secular Jews, don't want to get educated, don't want to serve in the army, and do5 want to pay taxes. The state and their wives support them, while they spend all their time studying the Talmud.

4) You have an absolutely sh*t passport, which precludes travel to many interesting countries.

You can also call it jealousy, I guess!

I am not jealous of American Jews in any way whatsoever, what's more I pity them.

To invest so much of your heart and soul into America, to finally think you've found yourself the refuge which your people had lacked for two thousand years... only to discover that the Old World pathologies have caught up with you even in this virgin continent.

The only place where a Jew can unambiguously feel "at home" is Israel. Even America, the Promised Land, is turning ugly.

The problem - living in Israel sucks. The internet is full of articles written by Jews about how they want to get the hell out of Israel. Why?

1) Everyone else is a Jew or an Arab. Hello!

2) People are rude and impatient.

3) Employers view their role as slave driver. Salaries are sh*t.

4) Everything is expensive.

5) Because of how much they fear the Orthodox Jews, the country basically stops working on Friday afternoon, and until Sunday.

the Rockefellers, Melons, Carnegies & Morgan's got 'em beat by a country furlong

So then where are all the Scots and English when it comes to actually holding public office and crafting policy which affects people's live directly?

Any sane person would become "anti-Semitic" if they just looked at the previous administration's cabinet appointments. Remember - that Jewish people constitute only 2.4% of the American population:

1) Secretary of State - Antony Blinken
2) Attorney General - Merrick Garland
3) Director of National Intelligence - Avril Haines
4) Chief of Staff - Ronald Klain
5) Secretary of Homeland Security - Alejandro Mayorkas
6) National Security Agency - Anne Neuberger
7) Secretary of the Treasury - Janet Yellen

That's just top level appointments, no deputies, no heads of department, etc.

It's plain to see that the entire American security and enforcement apparatus was Jewish under Biden. The economy has ALWAYS been Jewish, because before Yellen, it was Bernanke, and before Bernanke it was Greenspan, and before Greenspan it was Volker and so on.

Not a whole lot of Melons, or Carnegies, or Smiths, or Kowalskis, or Mullers, or Sanchezes, or Kims or Yamazakis.

In any business dispute, it would be viewed as a conflict of interest if the mediator came from one of the opposing side's families. This is pretty much what the United States does when it mediates between Palestine and Israel, and why it is fundamentally a dishonest broker.

Like... you want to have a totally Jewish dominated government, can you then at least let someone else steer the Middle East Peace Process?

Instead of teaching Germany's schoolchildren about the country's world-renowned philosophers, musicians and inventors, of which he suggested Germany had more than any other people, German history was being made "lousy and ridiculous"

Where's the indictable hate speech here? Where is the xenophobia?

If you think this is a problematic statement, then you Germans really are sick.

Germany is a Great (with a capital "G") country. Forget about musicians and inventors - just focus on the philosophers. Schopenhauer, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Marx. That's just the 19th century, but it's already like 60% of everything that actually moved the needle. That is, without Germans - we could not even think properly about our place in the universe.

Russia has a much less impressive intellectual history, and still it carries around its philosophers on its shoulders - jamming them down anyone's throat who is foolish enough to listen.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [576]

One reason why I can appreciate Trump - is the way he has dumped Israel in his second term.

After his first term, where he moved the embassy to Jerusalem, closed his eyes to settlement annexations, and made his Jewish son-in-law the point man for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process... I thought it could only get worse.

The Israelis were so happy, that already in November they began discussing annexing the entire occupied West Bank - and were rubbing their hands at the idea of a potential military operation against Iran.

So... how surprising is it then, that we are now witnessing a collapse of Israeli-American relations? Very surprising!

Point by point:

1) Israel, playing the good lap dog, preemptively lowered tariffs on all US goods to zero. The Trump administration looked at this, and decided to slap a 17% tariff on Israel anyway. Massive confusion ensues in Israel.

2) America negotiates directly with Hamas for the release of the last remaining American hostage. Hamas lets him go. No word on Israeli hostages that remain.

3) America negotiates directly with the Houthis, and arrives at a ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire does not include attacks on Israel, but only on US shipping. The Houthis are free to continue hitting Israel.

4) Trump's first overseas trip (besides Pope funeral), is to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE. Israel tries to convince Trump to visit, first through a visit by Netanyahu himself and then by a follow up visit by Ron Dermer. In the end, Trump refuses to go to Israel because "it will look bad with the Arabs".

What a refreshing change of pace. The WaPo article below quotes some people familiar with Trump's thinking. They say there are three reasons for what's happening:

1) Trump feels Netanyahu was trying to manipulate him into a war against Iran. Nobody manipulates Trump.

2) Trump feels that the $4B in annual aid to Israel is "help enough".

3) Core MAGA is anti-Israel, because of their isolationist views, and the belief that Israel is the tail that has been wagging the dog.

Seems Netanyahu didn't get the America First memo - hahaha. What part of America First did you misunderstand, Bibi?

morphine

I didn't talk about morphine, but poppy infusions (tea) and poppy concentrate. As mentioned - I heard it from my grandma, and it makes sense - pharmacologically. Morphine is many times stronger than just preparing some tea, and heroin is stronger still than morphine.

Same with cocaine - which not an opioid at all, so I'm not clear on what your point is. It's a stimulant and topical anesthetic. People prepare tea with coca leaves, in the Andes - and it's certainly not viewed there as a dangerous and illegal narcotic.

By the way - thanks to the US and Poles included - the Taliban was toppled in 2001. Previously they had managed to bring Afghan poppy production to zero, but thanks to the new occupiers poppy production was renewed and skyrocketed. The main traffic route lay through Afghanistan-Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan-Kazakhstan-Russia-EU. Two million people in Russia became addicted to heroin, the largest number in the world at the time. Thank you NATO!

Of course not, sometimes addiction is at least partly the least awful option for a traumatized person..

I wouldn't go so far as to defend heroin, though maybe Jon has a point about most of the lethality being resolved if there was a cheap and uninterrupted supply of legal heroin.

Switzerland and Germany are the only two countries I know of that provide pharmaceutical grade heroin to "chronic" addicts that are basically hopeless. I don't know if people started dying less there, but I think it's a no brainer. Portugal just decriminalized drugs completely, but I don't think it "supplies" them to addicts.

All the stuff you are writing about collapsing veins and rotting teeth is because these people are using dirty needles and smoking nasty aluminum pipes - not because of the heroin. The overdoses are also because people misdose, not knowing the potency of the specific batch in their possession. Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin, and 100 times more than morphine.

In a hospital setting - clean drugs, sterile environment, perfectly calibrated dose... seems to resolve all the problems.

Just... not a very politically popular proposition, as I think most of the electorate is just hoping for the junkies to die sooner - not invest more money into them.

In former Soviet states, for my grandmas generation, it was totally normal for people to make poppy infusions when sick, or to give kids poppy concentrate when their teeth were cutting or they were running a fever. However, I think heroin is a lot stronger than just a simple poppy infusion.

With cocaine... the more you do the more you want, there's no body shut off limit which is why addicts spend so much, they literally never can get enough.

In the moment, perhaps. If you started the night out with 5 bags, you will finish all 5 bags. If you started with 20 - you will finish all 20.

Kinda like cigarettes after the first couple beers. The more cigarettes you smoke, the more you want to smoke - and before you realize it the pack is gone.

Everything works against the other, because no one simple does cocaine and nothing else. You are drinking and starting to notice a slight slur, a certain dullness of the mind - despite the overall pleasant warmth. You smooth it out with some coke. But the coke gives its own edge, so you either smoke some weed or drink some more to grind off the edge. This causes a new round of drowsiness - so you do the coke again - and this way until 10 am the next day. Your Saturday is destroyed. On Sunday you are slowly returning from the world of the dead. By Monday - you are a soldier once again.

Long term they have adverse effects on the body and mind though. Even weed:

Eating a roast chicken every day will just as likely give you heart disease and kill you. Regarding weed and psychosis - existing can create psychosis.

That's totally different.

Alcohol is so terrible, that it kills you for trying to quit. I mean come on.
