On this day—October 25, 1934 Harvard’s “Jewish problem” is nothing new. This day, the university held a mock trial of Adolf Hitler. All testimony about Nazi persecution of Jews was ruled irrelevant, and a panel of Harvard professors acquitted him on two of four charges. The very same Harvard warmly welcomed Hitler’s foreign press chief and personal associate, Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, only months earlier. The Harvard Crimson had argued he deserved “the marks of honor appropriate to his high position in the government of a friendly country.” Harvard maintained ties with Nazified German universities, hosted Nazi officials and naval officers, and limited Jewish enrollment. Events in 2023 and 2024 proved the legacy endured, as Harvard became a national symbol of campus antisemitism after October 7.

The biggest stories don’t always make the news. 🤔 Susan and I gave $6.25 billion to help 25 million American children build brighter futures. These handwritten thank-you notes mean more than any headline ever could. 25 million children. 25 million futures. Endless possibilities. ❤️🇺🇸

Peter Thiel (2015) on Aspergers in Silicon Valley: "There's this very strange phenomenon in Silicon Valley where a lot of the most talented startups… seem to be run by people who are suffering from a mild form of Aspergers.” “And I think we need to always turn this fact around and view this as an indictment of our whole society… Because what does it say about our society when anyone who does not suffer from Aspergers — who is socially well adapted, will be talked out of all of their original creative ideas before they're even fully formed… who will sense ‘this is a little bit too weird, that's a little bit strange, that sounds a little bit crazy, people are looking at me in a weird way’. And I think this is something that we must all realize is sort of a deeply endemic problem."

No worries. I’ve read all the books on humor or humour as they used to say in Once Great Britain before it was outlawed

It really is like the CIA is creating them in a lab! ☠️

Dear President @realDonaldTrump: Our ambassador in Turkey and Envoy to Syria and Iraq @USAMBTurkiye is inflicting irreparable damage on the image and standing of the United States in the Middle East. In the video below, Barrack endorses the Iranian narrative, that Tehran does not trust America, and that we are the cause of the Iranian mistrust, because we supported the coup against Musaddagh and installed Khomeini, and that we have to earn Iranian trust today (this is exactly what the Islamic regime is saying) as the only way toward a solution for the standoff with the Islamic Iran regime. This is the conspiracy theory endorsed by the likes of Hollywood (the intro to the movie Argo) and some pro-Islamic Iran propaganda in Washington. When a top Trump official traffics in such conspiracy tropes, it will spread far and wide, and it will linger for generations to come, and will tarnish America's image and reputation and make it hard to repair. Dear Prez Trump, either ask Barrack to clear all his statements with the Department of State before he delivers them, or take the car keys out of his hands.

My man, let's talk like grown ups. I said what I said because I understand a bigger picture than the Right/Left, Dem/GOP/New Right conflict here in the United States. I'm not saying that kinetic warfare is never necessary. I support most of Israel's ventures in that regard and ours in Iran, for example. Sometimes it's necessary. I'm just looking at a bigger chessboard than you. In a sense, you see a set of plays that's rook vs. bishop, and I see the queen ready to take you for it and establish checkmate. We have global enemies. They are working with these factions internally. Those global enemies cannot strike us while we are strong and even halfway focused. They can the second we devote ourselves to killing each other. A nation in civil war is a vulnerable nation. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, New Axis generally, are all salivating at their one shot to crack the United States, and their best shot at it happens if we go to civil war, balkanize, or have a "national divorce" (that's balkanizing, actually). What I said above, "War is losing," is a statement of THAT broader reality. It has virtually NOTHING to do with Left/Right/New Right or Dem/GOP internecine conflicts, however much the agitators inside our own country push us toward that doomsday. It has everything to do with the tigers outside our borders waiting to pounce in the very instant we screw this up. The forces internally are pushing us to screw this up so those external forces can pounce. This strategy is an "inside-out" revolutionary strategy. It has cracked companies (like Uber) and forced a turnover of management. It can crack countries, including ours. My statement isn't one of cowardice. In fact, given the shit I'm getting for it, and knew I'd get for it, it's the opposite. Do you have any idea how tiring it is to deal with you people who just don't get it and blame me for your own shortsightedness because you've been induced to be angry fools? It sucks, man, and I do it day after day after day after day. So, maybe this walk through what I actually said helps you understand. I seriously doubt it. I have basically given up on stopping the coming planned conflict that's designed to take us out. You guys want to be mad too much and won't hold back against these blatant provocations anymore. God bless and good luck. You need it. You have neither sense nor perspective to rely on in its place.
