Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well.
The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry, and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-Enlightenment societies.
At Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students rioted on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel.
Waving Palestinian flags, and screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out and tried to crash into her classroom—before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual police arrival.
The subtext was that the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Hundreds of such incidents are now occurring on a daily basis—as the country is leaving its Weimar phase and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. Instructors singled out Jewish students in classes at UC Davis and Stanford. Pro-Hamas students ripped down posters, swarmed public buildings, and disrupted traffic.
A pro-Israeli demonstrator in Los Angeles was hit on the head and killed by a pro-Palestinian university professor.
Jewish students were trapped in a Cooper Union university library surrounded by pro-Hamas demonstrators. At MIT, Jewish students were warned to keep away from particular areas of the campus deemed dangerous for them.
What would happen to a university president who warned black or Latino students to keep clear of areas where she could not guarantee their safety from other students?
A bankrupt media deserves much of the blame. They daily broadcast Hamas’s suspect casualty figures, as if that terrorist organization has ever been capable of speaking the truth.
The Western news regurgitated “500 dead at a Gaza hospital,” due to a supposedly deliberate Israel bombing. In fact, the hospital parking lot was hit by an errant Islamic Jihad missile intended to kill civilians in Israel.
No matter—few reporters apologized for spreading Hamas-fed misinformation, despite the previous Hamas lies that they never harmed civilians, that tunnels were not beneath hospital grounds, that they did not murder 1,200 Israelis; or their lies that Hamas gunmen do not rape, when they engaged in mass rape on October 7.
The media normalizes Hamas’s atrocities by treating it as if it were an ordinary government, not a murderous terrorist clique that decapitates civilians, takes children as hostages, and mutilates those it slaughters. That the terrorist organization has kidnapped at least ten American citizens and killed perhaps another 31 is lost on the “journalists,” many of them Americans who could care less about the fate of their fellow citizens.
The media fixates on the Israeli response to mass murder, but rarely the mass murder of 1,200 Israeli civilians that prompted the current war. During ceasefires do Israeli terrorists drive into Gaza cities, and shoot and kill innocent civilians—and then brag, as did Hamas recently, that such murdering will only increase?
Sometimes the anti-Semitic hatred reaches Orwellian levels of absurdity. A British reporter asked an Israeli official whether his country valued life less than Hamas did because it had agreed to Hamas’s demand to release three convicted terrorists in exchange for one Israeli captive. The media fawned over a released disfigured Gazan terrorist – without mentioning that her injuries came from a car bomb she exploded in hopes of killing Jews.
The media is further emboldened by the Biden administration. When asked about the outbreak of anti-Semitism across the U.S. – nearly 60 percent of hate crimes are committed against Jews, who make up 2.5 percent of the population – Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed them with the false claim that the White House “had not seen any credible threats” to Jews. And then she claimed that the real danger to American residents was Islamophobia and threats to Arab-Americans. Hate crime and interracial crime statistics do not support Jean-Pierre’s assertions, which prompts the question of why she made them in the first place.
Note that almost all the violence in demonstrations over the current war comes from the pro-Hamas side that shouts “river to the sea” genocidal threats, swarms the Capitol rotunda and the White House wall, disrupts traffic, occupies bridges at peak traffic, defaces private and public property, shouts down speakers on campus, harasses passers-by, and often battles the police. One wonders whether, should the U.S. military be forced to try to rescue American captives, the demonstrators would cheer for the American troops or Hamas hostage-takers.
Abroad, the world has gone even crazier.
The United Nations has appointed Iran—a theocratic, terrorist-supporting government that kills dissidents and takes hostages—as the chair nation of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum. What a cruel joke.
But what would one expect from the UN when its secretary-general, António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres, a former Portuguese socialist politician, condemns the Israeli response to October 7, but rarely, if ever, the Hamas mass killing of civilians that prompted it. Right after the mass killing Guterres opined, “The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.” According to the secretary-general’s logic, I suppose, Pearl Harbor, the 1939 Nazi invasion of Poland, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine did not happen in a vacuum either.
When told that an Irish citizen hostage was freed by Hamas, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar declared that the “lost” child was finally “found.” In other words, he wished to hide the obvious fact that a terrorist organization had kidnapped an Irish citizen child, held her hostage for 50 days, and released her only when Israel gave up convicted terrorists to obtain her release.
Our domestic political leadership is not helping the situation.
Just days after October 7, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with the foreign minister of the now often hostile Turkish government, were calling for a cease-fire to prevent an Israeli response.
When the Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israeli cities went off course and damaged a Gaza hospital (leading to the fake story that Israel bombed the hospital), President Biden joked, “You got to learn to shoot straight.” Did Biden mean that, had the terrorists only launched a successful terrorist rocket into Jewish neighborhoods, there would have been no ensuing controversies?
Biden later apologized for doubting fatality figures provided by the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas—a terrorist organization that has lied about the hospital “bombing,” denied it had tunnels under hospitals, denied that it had engaged in mass rape in Israel, and has supplied no proof of its civilian casualty numbers. Has Hamas released figures of how many of its terrorists were killed, and does it separate those numbers from lost “civilians?” And so are there really vast new cemeteries in Gaza to handle the 15,000 graves for those who, Hamas asserts, were killed?
What explains the collective madness?
For the last 40 years, while Western leftists have naively supported Palestinian terrorists, their governments have appeased terrorist-supporting Middle Eastern governments for very practical reasons. The old subtext to such mollification was that 500-million irate Arab Muslims, and a Middle East with 40 percent of the world’s oil reserves, in realist terms, simply argued against the interests of 10 million Israelis.
But now there are two new, venomous elements in the matrix.
One is that the racist DEI industry assumes that all intersectional nonwhite communities are victims of white privilege and supremacy. Therefore, as permanently oppressed, they are declared incapable of being racist themselves. And so they can harass with impunity the supposed victimizers—in this case American Jews, who are declared culpable whites.
So the oppressed, according to the DEI bible, cannot be anti-Semitic, though many certainly are. And they apparently cannot be held accountable for their hatred or frequent violence.
Secondly, in the last two decades there has been an epidemic of immigration into Western nations from the Middle East. In often-divided democracies like ours, politicians seek to appease as many pressure groups as possible, whether citizen voters or merely resident demonstrators, to acquire and maintain power.
Such pro-Hamas demonstrators, rah-rahing from a free, prosperous, and secure West, expect no rebuke for their obvious hypocrisy in cheering on an autocratic, dictatorial Hamas that has wrecked the economy of Gaza, shoots dissidents, and allows no free expression. And Middle Eastern guests and immigrants are never reminded that their very demonstrations are predicated on not being physically present in their homelands, where they might be shot for what they say and do freely in the West.
We are on a trajectory similar to that of 1930s Germany.
Every time a student is cornered, harassed, or threatened; a high school mob tries to swarm and harm a teacher; a government spokesperson dismisses such hatred; or American soldiers are targeted by Iranian-fed terrorist organizations; the madness, racism, and anti-Semitism will increase—until it reaches a saturation point of abject violence in our streets.
Once a society mainstreams the values of thuggish brownshirts, and ignores their “from the river to the sea” eliminationist chants and screams of “beat the f—king Jew,” then the next emboldened step is foreordained.
True, most Americans were appalled by October 7 and accept that every nation has the right to defend itself from terrorist killers. Most Americans deplore vicious demonstrators and their calls for violence on behalf of the Hamas death cult. And most Americans want their President to demand the release of American hostages and to deter Iranian-backed terrorists who attack U.S. military personnel in the region.
But unless the public demands that their universities enforce on campus the Bill of Rights and the right to move freely in safety, that police enforce laws against mob violence on America’s streets and in our schools, and that the United States stops greenlighting mass immigration from anti-Western nations and extending student visas to residents of anti-American, terrorist-supporting, and autocratic Middle East regimes, then in suicidal fashion we are headed for a 1930s nightmare.

Niggers have no problem with killing other niggers, so maybe the teachers union should hire some really big niggers to maim or kill these unruly students.
Call it the “Don’t ax, don’t tell” method of diversified education.
We can all do our part by trading only with White owned businesses, seeing White only doctors and dentists, etc.
Treat anyone who speaks English as a second language as if they have the plague.
Shun them.
Wow, they allow you to say that? Hell, if I mention *egroes (the correct description) I get BANNED at lots of sites.
Newbie! Fresh meat here!!!
Joe, that is a pretty good start.
Those who support terrorism are terrorists and should be treated as such.
“Your” government considers you to be a domestic terrorist.
You know, just FYI.
I do, and they need to be removed.
We couldn’t get two students to agree on lunch who or what is organizing this.
Victor Davis Hanson has gone full kikesucker. He just can’t stop sucking them off.
u piece of shit
Don’t choke on your matzah ball soup, Shlomo.
The real question is this; are you against behaviors or people?
If you oppose the slaughter of innocent people, then you must oppose what is taking place in the Middle East, even if it’s people you’ve previously seen as victims. If you oppose people then whoever is the most violent and powerful gets to decide who they want to exterminate and genocide and the rest of their targets only get to die or find a way to get out of their way.
People in the US and the West in general talk a good game about Never Again, but they only mean for one group of people. We mass murdered our way through the last 75 years all over the globe for the most ridiculous and nebulous of reasons. Democracy? What even is that? Mob rule, or a new aristocracy of really ugly people with speech impediments and a sense of entitlement?
You created this Golem, now it’s your problem.
This VDH article paints a picture only including 2 groups. Says Hamas/Palestinian hostilities are against Jews. But I saw a video, which may have been filmed yesterday, of 60,000 actual Orthodox Jews in NYC singing and chanting. It was claimed that they oppose Zionism and are sympathetic to Palestinians.
I have seen it written that the Zionists who invaded Palestine in the 40’s and even earlier were terrorists. Some admitted it. Many Jews don’t agree with the Zionists. Many Zionists may or may not be actual Jews but even though they claim to be they also claim to be Atheists.
Menachim Begin was head of Irgun. Yitzakh Shamir was head of the Stern Gang.
I oppose the slaughter of me and mine. Since I live in Missouri, it would be extremely dangerous for someone to threaten me for my views on politics or anything else.
Folks we got us a Simple Man here!
It is good to hear you finally take a real stand. At some point we must all speak out when evil is so blatant that we can no longer ignore it…….
What’s going on in the middle east, short of the long-nosed Kikes launching Nukes, is none of our god damned business. I don’t care for either race. Let them literally obliterate each other down to the last child. Make it very clear to the Kikes, if nukes are launched, (ironically the same nukes that we gave them over the years), we will turn the entire area into a pile of radioactive molten glass. The “Spice” (oil) must flow. That is the only reason that we keep sticking our wangs into the sandbox.
I see. “The all-out war on Whites has gone global, jews hit hardest.”
Creepy ass cuck, Hanson neglects to acknowledge the source of the socio-economic catastrophe commonly known Weimar Germany and who brought this socio-economical destabilizing shit to America. …now this shill is fake and gay, too.
As you can imagine…
Unfinished Victory
ARTHUR BRYANT • 1940 •
During the years that immediately followed the Inflation, when German trade, freed from every prior charge, was temporarily booming and when foreign money, seeking an outlet from more fortunate lands, poured in the shape of loans into the Republic, the Jews obtained a wonderful ascendancy in politics, business and the learned professions. Though there were little more than half a million of them living in the midst of a people of sixty-two millions — less, that is, than one per cent of the population — their control of the national wealth and power soon lost all relation to their numbers. In the 1924 Reichstag nearly a quarter of the Social Democratic representatives were Jews. Every post-war Ministry had its quota of them. In business, according to figures published in 1931 by a Jewish statistician, they controlled 57 per cent of the metal trade, 22 per cent of the grain and 39 per cent of the textile. Of 98 members of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 50, or more than half, were Jewish, and of the 1474 of the Stock Exchange in 1930 no less than 1200. Twelve out of sixteen of the Committee of the Berlin Commodity Exchange were Jews and ten out of twelve of the Metal Exchange.
The banks, including the Reichsbank and the big private banks, were practically controlled by them. So were the publishing trade, the cinema, the theatres and a large part of the Press — all the normal means, in fact, by which public opinion in a civilised country is formed. In 1931, of 29 theatres in Berlin 23 had Jewish directors. The largest newspaper combine in the country with a daily circulation of four millions was a Jewish monopoly. So virtually were the Press Departments of the Prussian administration. At one period of the Republic’s history, as Mr. Mowrer pointed out, a telephone conversation between three Jews in Ministerial Offices could effect the suspension of any newspaper in the State.[80] It was a power that was frequently used.
In the artistic and learned professions the Jewish supremacy was as marked. Authorship in Germany almost seemed to have become a kind of Hebrew monopoly. It helps perhaps to explain the contempt for some of the greatest products of the human mind which has since so tragically prevailed in Nazi Germany. For many years the professional organisations of German writers were controlled almost entirely by Jews. In 1931, of 144 him scripts worked, 119 were written by Jews and 77 produced by them. Medicine and the Law followed the same trend: 42 per cent of the Berlin doctors in 1932 were Jews, and 48 per cent of the lawyers. So in Berlin University — by far the largest in the country were 15 out of 44 of the teachers of Law, and 118 out of 265 of the teachers of Medicine. Every year it became harder for a Gentile to gain or keep a foothold in any privileged occupation.
At this time it was not the Aryans who exercised racial discrimination. It was a discrimination which operated without violence. It was one exercised by a minority against a majority. There was no persecution, only elimination. “It seems”, Montz Goldstein, the Jewish essayist, had written before the war, “as if German cultural life was to be completely transformed into Jewish hands….Consequently we are now faced by the following problem. We Jews guide and administrate the intellectual property of a nation which denies our qualification and competency to do so.” By the third decade of the century the process had reached a new stage. It was the native Germans who were now confronted with a problem — that of rescuing their indigenous culture from an alien hand and restoring it to their own race.

The bottom line: The Central Bank owned neo-cons, Democrats, Zionists and MSM (almost all Jooish) have advocated for decades that America let more ignorant, inbred, disease ridden foreign savages into our nation…they have effectively enslaved us while destroying our culture, erasing our borders and soon our language. We are about to suffer the same fate as Orwellian Europe where we’re constantly surveilled and imprisoned if we complain or criticize these welfare leeching Muslim goat fuckers and wet backs. Soon there will be a mosque on every corner where a Christian church once stood. The time to fight is now…
Who is we ?
“This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives, or really add importantly to either our wealth or our power” Lyndon Bastard Johnson at the signing of the Hart -Cellar Act aka 1965 the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments
Once the death cult of money powers broke the monarchy and the unity of one Church, the entire world became theirs to do with as they wish…. but muh capitalism all the faggot protestants say.. And this is why the false doctrine of rapturetardation and bless those who bless the chozenites had to be distilled among the mass of morons. Floating away to heaven while the rest of the goyim remain to suffer hell fire and tribulation here on earth was the incentive allow and support the debt servitude now engulfing the entire planet….we’re all going to float away , while you Orthodox \burn in helllll…reeeee
Philip II: (1527-1598)
William Thomas Walsh
“It did not occur to the kings that if the money-lenders ever got
power enough, if they ever got from under the public-spirited
repression of the Church, they would destroy their own masters.
Kings were not generally as far-sighted as money-changers, and
much less so than priests. This is not to deny that clerics sometimes
condoned usury and profited by it, or that some kings repressed it.
Human affairs are never so simple as that. But there was a line of
cleavage: the Church on one side hostile to usury, the kings
compelled to make use of it on the other.
As the moral influence of the Church was weakened in the
political and economic spheres, in consequence of a series of
calamities for which she was not to blame—the Black Death, the
papal exile at Avignon, the Great Schism, the return of paganism
with the Renaissance—usury began to accumulate wealth and to
organize its influence. With canny insight it threw its influence, by
and large, against the power of Church and State, supporting now
one, now the other, until, by a see-saw process, it succeeded in
weakening both.
It early identified itself with the forces of heresy in religion and
liberalism in politics, until Protestantism at last gave money-lending a certificate of respectability, until a Lord Bacon could write a serious defense of it, and Harrison (in Holinshed) must chronicle the capitulation of the new Protestant England to “usury, a trade brought in by the Jews, but now perfectly practised almost by every
Christian, and so commonly that he is accompted but for a fool that
doth lend his money for nothing.”5 ”

Flash- That is spot on information. But keep in mind, the vampires are still in control at the capstone.
That is the biggest pile of bullshit I have read in the last 24 hrs. The decadence that was Weimar Germany was beyond description. We are just now entering the total depravity that they had reached back then. For a taste of it watch the movie Cabaret and multiply that by at least 10.
The Pritzkers (hello, Jewish) are some of the biggest money people behind the push for all of this transgender bullshit on our kids that is going to lead all them all into total misery and probably early graves. And that is only one example. Flash has posted all of the examples over and over.
VD is a useful idiot.
Yes. Yes he is.
A million dollars short and a decade late every single time. Yet he continues to maintain a reputation as a percipient sage among Normiecrat Boomertards.
Depressing.
The author of the article forgot to include the ‘sarcasm’ tag … some folks might actually believe his drivel.
The United States has been under the jackboot of israel and pro-zionist jews since 1917 or thereabouts … the Balfour Declaration … and, of course, we’ve had israel’s blood on our hands ever since.
Is and it’s captured crime cartel is the enemy of all Americans
That GODvernment up there thinks you are trying to overthrow them when it is THEM up there that are overthrowing it.
So uckfing Hillaryous!!
LOL
The US is so far beyond the Weimar phase – you can’t even get a bus back to it!
Israel is an occupying force thus has no right to defense. I am not anti Jew, I am anti Zionist!
I am anti-both.
but you’re a christian aren’t you?
You’re now gonna ‘get it’ like I used to “get it”…
POP QUIZ!
ONLY one question, BUT it DOES count towards your immortal soul.
Which book title was burned by the NSDAP in the Weimar Republic of the 1930’s?
1. Pinchas’ Peculiar Parts
2. Apollodorus 1.6.3
Fuck Israel, and fuck anyone who supports Israel. It is time to wipe Israel from the face of the earth. I do not care what color Zionists are, they are pure fucking evil.
Genociding the zionists is the moral thing to do! 😂 🤣
It is them or us, and they started the war against us…..
That means you are the same as the zionists in your thinking, just in a different direction…
That means the same thing only if you are retarded.
90% of Israelis support the murderous criminal genocide against the Palestinians, and are therefore guilty of supporting real genocide. The entire country is guilty of war crimes, and crimes against humanity and need to be prosecuted and punished accordingly…
{brushing 10% of Israelis under the carpet}
We cannot absolve the 90% for the 10%. The genocide in Gaza must be punished. Tel Aviv needs to be the next Dresden. The Zionists must reap what they sow…..
I cannot absolve you for the 90+% of Americans that are crazy.
Sorry, jdog, and enjoy your punishment…
Genocide IS ALWAYS the Devil’s work.
And jdog is worshiping the devil…
You might want to check your Old Testament. When God wills genocide, it is to undo the works of Satan. If “Israel” genocides Palestine, you can be sure that “Israel” is next on the chopping block.
You may have missed Genesis 8:21
These are crybabies and brats. Never had a dose of reality. Lemme tell you their friends at the dance festival got a dose of reality. There are reports now that Hamas mutilated their genitals (shot them there I think it mentioned) and other sensitive female body parts and the medical examiner there said many died with their faces frozen in agony.
They stupidly think if we be nice to them – they be nice to us. So uckfing LAFFABLE.
Bullshit. The concert was attacked by Israeli helicopter’s firing hellfire missiles. Look at the pictures of the cars, they were burned and blown up.
The truth does not exist any more. This is the elixer.
read the truth about why a people would be expelled fom over 1000 cities and countries over 2000 years.
this site is a rarity and a baston of free speech which is rare today in conqured amercia.hats off to you whatever your view is.
” …and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. ”
Were that true, then many – if not most- of our problems will be solved as the antiChrists will be removed from our lands.
110!
Never interrupt your enemies when they are fighting with one another. – H/T to Sun Tzu. The Muzzies want me dead because I am a Christian. The Tribe wants me in their thrall because I am goyim. I prefer to remain a spectator. My larder is full. My needful survival things are in abundance. As I watch this corrupt, syphilitic-thinking country tear itself to pieces in all of these Blue Hives, my focus is on a shot of Jager and a cold PBR at the end of a day of prepping. Bleib ubrig, my friends.
This is a must watch……
Many Jews follow liberal politics, which is now to the point where one led demonstrations to rename St. Louis “Scott” in honor of the former slave Dred Scott. This has happened all over the U.S. to the point where others have turned against them and Israel’s anti-inclusion policy of “Lebensraum” (Living Space) in Gaza, and sending Palestinian refugees to the U.S. and Israel’s Black African migrants to Europe. Elon Musk is right. What goes around, comes around.
