Jake,

I just checked and English and Arabic don’t belong to the same family, so they are put together very differently.  English and Hindi are in the same family.

The root system sounds a lot like Sanskrit.  Many of the Sanskrit roots exist in English, like the sc- sound for cutting, e.g., scar, scythe, scissors; and str- for long thin things l…[Read more]

Simon,

The historian in the vid refers to Arabic language. I had no idea of the following: In Arabic, most words are built upon a triconsonantal root, meaning they are derived from a base of three consonants. These roots represent core meanings or concepts, and other words are formed by adding vowels and other consonants to the root. For example,…[Read more]

Jake – ruby, rust, russet.  In Europe we’re surrounded by a bunch of related languages, all with the same roots.

Apparently though Finnish is a strange outlier that doesn’t bear any relation to the other European languages.  According to Wikipedia it’s Uralic rather than Indo-European in its family.  I went to Norway for 10 days once, and they se…[Read more]

Simon,

yes, redolent, rojo, rubiginous…

The most conservative estimate of dead Palestinians is that of the Israeli government: 17.000 (give or take). At the other end, the Gaza Ministry o…[Read more]

Jake – yes, Rus, rose, rouge, red, etc.

Simon,

My memory which obviously may be wrong is that Russia is named for a people known as the Rus. Those people i think came from Finland.

Vikings went all the way into Russia

Apparently Russia is named after the red hair of the vikings.

Enco,

Not only are there attacks on Jews. Skyrocketing. Open Jew hatred unopposed. Normalization of racism like we saw historically. Lefties creating their own version of MAGA. It is a new generation that will perpetuate the hatred, discrimination, racism against Jews. And it is more dangerous in the sense that it is the upper echelon of society…[Read more]

Enco,

I was not aware of Vikings supplying slaves/sex slaves for the Muslims either. Vikings went all the way into Russia so ultimately initial goals may have been supplanted by the desire to trade. Business is business. Viking graves have given moderns a few surprises as well.

Christians marauding and proselytizing, Vikings without…[Read more]

If Jews are not safe in Ivy League Academia in America, the most educated and intellectual in society, that says something very telling about how much safety there is among the hoi-polloi. That’s no dance.

Enco,

I can’t explain the human stain. Nor why i am absent glory for posting the story.

Wan’t that historian a humdinger? A hullabalooooo? A hootenannie? A lollapalooza?

Fight the power! Globalize the intifada! Free Palestine! Don’t shoot until you can see the whites of their eyes! Do Jews have eyes? Those hoories with the great big bosoms and…[Read more]

I am making a prediction.

Lets assume the reality of Islam is finally understood. Even by the far left. What will happen as a result of the awakening?

Easy. Muslims will be blamed. Far right will be ascendant. It will be bloody.

Following is an encapsulation of the rationalization and an embodiment of ignorance from the far left. The author i can’t say is Unseen. Does not make a difference who it is because it is representative of the abysmal ignorance of the left bathing in its own excrement and urine.

“I think the Muslim world feels antagonized in a way the Christian…[Read more]

Reg to the rescue. The very one.

Thank you.

@Jakelafort – Is this the video version of the same podcast?

Unseen,

Can anyone rationally maintain that we’d be in a worse position had meddlesome outsider politicians not decided to redraw the Middle Eastern map? On what basis?

We’d be in a different position, but not better. Christianity and Islam would still be at holy war, even without the presence of Crusaders. Both of the…

Jews aren’t safe anywhere and Jew-haters still regarded them as vermin, but at least with Israel, they are the mouse that roars.

The average American Jew is far safer than the average Israeli Jew. You danced around that fact. And not all that deftly to boot.

I have read how animal intelligence is or ought not be measured by human terms. So intelligence is perceived as the proclivity to do behaviors that boost survival.

Are we any different? Really. Yeah a few of us are. Who else could have discovered relativity? There are intellectual giants who truly tower above the rank and file. But otherwise we…[Read more]
