A lot of interesting points.

Like I said in reply to somebody else's comment below, Obama was loathed in the DoD. Bush was more well-liked, but his wrong-headed foreign policy was still seen as exactly that. Hillary, however, might as well be Satan in the eyes of your average servicemember, and that was before we all knew about this shit with her private server, spirit cooking, and everything else. It would not surprise me at all if the very few of us who might have been in a position to help in some capacity did so. I wouldn't go so far as to say that people actively recruited Trump to run, but I'm sure that some may have encouraged him, helped him, and exerted what political influence they could to assist him.

The Jewish thing is an interesting point. I'm a service academy grad, and while I don't have formal stats on this, the breakdown there was NOT representative of the general population. We were over-represented on Catholics (about 45-55%), Mormons, and Evangelicals, and very under-represented with Jews. I can't say I knew a single one while I was there, although the Jewish chaplain was cool as hell. In the decade of active service I've had, I've only worked with one (and funnily enough, the entire unit hated the guy).

...oh no, wait, I do know about one Jewish guy from the Academy. His last name was Weinstein, and his dad went on a rampage against the school when somebody made a joke about his son having a "big nose" during training. It sounds funny, except his dad was a flaming anti-theist and advocated things like eliminating the chaplain corps entirely. He was also appointed to the DoD as a special advisor under the Obama administration. I should see if I can dig anything up on him. He was a fuckwad.

Jewish people are statistically very high on atheism (I'm not that religious myself, but when you learn about Satanism, it makes you want God to be true).

I have no idea why Jewish people don't go into the military, but it could be a critical mistake if FBIanon and Q are right.

Nepotism is despised in the military, and minority status gets you very little. The tribalism that Jews seem to demonstrate in other industries isn't possible there. So that's a possibility. It's a very conservative environment, and most Jews seem to be left-leaning. It doesn't pay very well. It's looked down upon by the coastal elite, or seen as a place where only "stupid" or "desperate" people end up. It's also unapologetically faithful, majority Christian, although most people are not assholes about this.

And yeah, a lot of Jewish people do seem to be atheist. Seems weird to be able to claim your religious affiliation as an ethnicity ut not actually follow any of its tenants.

Satanism is creepy as fuck. From a Catholic perspective at least, demons are out to desecrate God's creation or mock the holy trinity, so a lot of Satanism is based on degradation, humiliation, disgusting sex acts, blood sacrifice, and so on. You don't need to believe in God to find that sort of thing horrific, although the idea of willfully choosing to reject God utterly and damning yourself for the sake of temporary earthly gains makes the whole thing that much worse.

All of that makes sense. I suspect that Jews, as a constantly persecuted minority throughout history, developed conflict strategies that were based on sneakiness, deception, etc. More prey strategy than predator strategy. In contrast, the military is all about big, bold strength and violence.

I remember the first time I watched the videos of Majestic Ape at Comet Ping Pong. That's when I realized that Stanley Kubrick was trying to warn us about something in Eyes Wide Shut.

The military can be sneaky, in terms of operations. But dealing with other people around the base? Yeah, nobody puts up with sneaky bullshit. (And goddamn, yeah, that Jewish guy tended to be really underhanded about things in terms of getting what he wanted.)

I think it's likely that the Jewish community nurtures tribalism in their children through the SIX MILLION OF US WERE KILLED BY THE NAZIS AND THE WORLD HATES US! thing. Joining the military, for anybody, is inherently about giving up some of your biases/beliefs and adopting a new group identity that's based on a shared sense on duty and love of America. From what I understand, a lot of Jews think anything that even hints at nationalism is Nazism. I think it might just be a more jarring transition for them, and the ones who do make that transition probably aren't interested in the tribalism any more. After all, most of the black people I know in uniform think racial politics are fucking bullshit.

I still remember reading FBIanon write that "9/11 was Mossad" back in October of 2016. I thought that was crazy disinfo then. Later I watched hundreds of hours of videos on youtube and learned the truth.

The guys in a van arrested filming the whole thing from across the river were Mossad. They were arrested.... and then let go.

Great foreign policy we have.

Yes I agree with all of that.

Read the Culture of Critique if you want to learn more about Jewish culture and its affect on U.S./gentile culture. The book is blowing my mind.

I might have to check that out. Like a lot of subjects, it's hard to find something objective about the over-representation of Jews in our cultural institutions.

party1981 ago

The book is written in a very scholarly way that gave it credibility in my mind, even if liberal academia has largely spurned it. Scholars like Steven Pinker haven't even read it.

The book explains a lot.

Yeah, just checked out the reviews on Amazon. Even the people who didn't especially like it gave it credit for being even handed. I'll have to give it a read.
