as am an algerian i give 5 stars to gilad atzmon very impressive topic now i understand what has gone wrong in western society that's because the westerners have abandoned to 'confront jewish paradigm they just let it to spread out like a cancer affecting the whole world not only the west .
To paraphrase a few points that stood out for me: The greatest political betrayal of modern times is both of and by The Left which traditionally criticised the Elite but is now supported by the Elite (ex: G. Soros' Open Society Institute) and is no longer Real Left but has become Controlled Opposition. Devastating. Political Correctness is Pernicious. It escalates marginal issues to be the main issues and facilitates transformation of the collective into isolated margins. Political Correctness is Politics that Does Not Allow Political Criticism and is Worse than Dictatorship because it induces Self-Suppression thereby promoting intellectual impotence whereby you are not able to articulate your dissent. The working class is Right to criticise Parasitical Jews and The Factional Identity Politics of the Divisive and Elitist Left who both require and even thrive on Anti-Semitism for personal awareness. N.B. this comment is my paraphrasing of some of what Gilad Atzmon is saying in this video talk. If you think I've interpreted anything incorrectly, leave your reply.
Totally agree with his views on Chomsky. I heard a rumour from a very learned, well read and informed friend of mine that he has shares in the Military Industrial Complex.
californiadreaming33 Sorry to ask this really innocent well intentioned question but who is a Jew or how can a Jew be defined? Get my drift? I have never really been able to find an answer to this question. Not that I get sleepless night over the matter but well there is the question.
Wanna really mess them up...As a man, dress up in a burka, full beard, and put a star of david on...I can just imagine the antics one could get into...lol
A really fascinating talk, introducing a lot of fascinating ideas that are very new to me. I liked the saxophone playing, too, but struggled to work out it's relevance to a talk on zionism and Jewishness, and whether everyone who turned up for the talk would be happy to hear the saxophone as well. I am a musician and a socialist, and believe the majority of my comrades would be uninterested in my music, so I don't inflict it on them. Just wondering why he thinks he can. Perhaps he is a terrible egotist. Don't like the way he told one audience member to "Listen to yourself." Nevertheless, a fascinating talk.
I like this guy. He's very interesting to listen to. There's a whole lot on which I disagree with him, but, there's also a lot on which I _do_ agree with him. Just one thought: I like the way he describes "Jewish cleverness," though I would just add my own input that when speaking of this, might also be meaningful/worthwhile to explain/distinguish the difference between honest and _deceptive_ 'cleverness.' The former can be quite good, whereas the latter, evil.
Thre reference to Germans in the opening is bullshit...she should read some alternative history...has she heard of the Bromberg Incident in 1939..or the War on Germany by world Jewry in 1932?...clearly not
Well, its a good thing we have the internet these days and that most of the worlds population are behind their computer looking for the truth and listening to opinions
Gilad You're a Jew. Stay close to your friends, because Jew haters don't distinguish. Israel nurtured you. You will no doubt be welcome there when it all explodes. Menachim Begin:"Jews.We are all Jews."
Thank you very much Gilad and the folks who put this event and film up to the larger public. As a lefty you helped confirm to me what I've been observing while you also opened my eyes to other issues I never thought of before. I'll have to take your book off my shelf and read it soon. Great work in revealing the larger picture.
Interesting talk but largely an academic exercise. The Palestinian getting his house bulldozed hardly cares if the guy driving it questions the Jewishness of what he's doing. Need him to start with just questioning right and wrong.
I will take the argument further by stating Israel cannot survive without Iran. Religiously they want the same thing, the Jewish state wants their meshiec and the Muslims want the al maqudi. They support each other by hating each other and the leadership on both sides fully support the others politics and would dissolve without the other.
UnKoolKev Clay Russell Brand could very likely be an MKid to lead other MKids down the garden path . MTV MKUltra lady Gaga Magina Disney it's all rot .
The last few minutes are very interesting in terms of what is happening right now. The support for Donald Trump and various European nationalist parties and politicians (Orban and Wilder for example) intent on preserving the people and culture of both America and European countries I think can only be explained by the underclasses of these cultures noticing in some limited way what is going on. This is all very politically incorrect and PC as Gilad was getting at is a sort of informal blasphemy law, backed up in some countries by formal "hate speech" laws which haven't got very solid definitions. Sweden and Germany are trying to lock down on people speaking out about this but the tide of people noticing and speaking out is getting larger--Germany even put ex-Stasi onto censoring facebook. Reading news sites I've noticed a whole lot of politically incorrect opinions slipping through in the past month, with many so-called conservative "free speech" loving sites having moderation of comments sections that would look like something straight out of the Soviet Union. I think as the economic situation becomes apparent in these affected countries things will continue to progress in this way and I hope I'm wrong but I think this is all going to end up with a whole lot of dead people before things are corrected.
excellent intervention de gilad atzmon comme a son habitude.. ça serai bien de faire le travail de sous titrage pour faire partager et diffuser la conférence a des non linguistes.. (subtitles was good for the other peoples who not speak in English) :) one day maybe i make.. i find a person who speak English correctly..thanks :)
Arab activists make important points regarding Atzmon in this letter: uspcn.org/2012/03/13/granting-no-quarter-a-call-for-the-disavowal-of-the-racism-and-antisemitism-of-gilad-atzmon/ "Atzmon’s politics rest on one main overriding assertion that serves as springboard for vicious attacks on anyone who disagrees with his obsession with “Jewishness”. He claims that all Jewish politics is “tribal,” and essentially, Zionist. Zionism, to Atzmon, is not a settler-colonial project, but a trans-historical “Jewish” one, part and parcel of defining one’s self as a Jew. Therefore, he claims, one cannot self-describe as a Jew and also do work in solidarity with Palestine, because to identify as a Jew is to be a Zionist. We could not disagree more. Indeed, we believe Atzmon’s argument is itself Zionist because it agrees with the ideology of Zionism and Israel that the only way to be a Jew is to be a Zionist. Palestinians have faced two centuries of orientalist, colonialist and imperialist domination of our native lands. And so as Palestinians, we see such language as immoral and completely outside the core foundations of humanism, equality and justice, on which the struggle for Palestine and its national movement rests. As countless Palestinian activists and organizers, their parties, associations and campaigns, have attested throughout the last century, our struggle was never, and will never be, with Jews, or Judaism, no matter how much Zionism insists that our enemies are the Jews. Rather, our struggle is with Zionism, a modern European settler colonial movement, similar to movements in many other parts of the world that aim to displace indigenous people and build new European societies on their lands"
Supposedly Jews score very high in verbal IQ. But not so high in visual/spatial skills. But what about skills for precision work? Are these skills ever measured?
Yes, they were both created as Jewish psy-ops, and you can see the results now millennia later. They control the main narratives of the so-called “Abrahamic religions”, which are really Trojan horses for Jewish metaphysics to find a back door into the surrounding European and Arabic cultures. Since then, all of Western History has been one giant Judeo-directed performance art.
There is much truth to what he says, but there is also a lot of sophistry. Just as there are lots of notes when Mr. Atzmon plays the sax, but only occasionally is it musical.
I offer this additional neurological insight to comprehend the tension between Jew and Christian: circumcision gave the Jews an intellectual advantage over the non-circumcised. Here's my neural reasoning: the foreskin postpones a lot of sexual sensations until adolescence's abundance of erections; while removing the foreskin at about the beginning of infancy adds and combines sensations of the tip of the penis with our associations of the eyes, ears, mouth, etc., so there results a richer neural core from which outward neural branching is more complex ---versus being simple-minded. Particularly there is better language learning. That's what Jews celebrate at puberty, rather than Nature's plan to surprise the teen with sexual desire to promote an animal sexuality and more pregnancies. In the USA, Christians were not widely circumcised until after WWII and lately circumcision has fallen out of favor among many. So Jews therefore did have higher cognitive levels and they could perceive it, as could those they outsmarted sense "something was going on!"
Joe here is a reply from an anti circ person and fan of Gilad... Interesting theory, but Islam shoots it down. Half o all Nobel Prizes go to either Jews, or half-Jews. If circ helped reduce sex drive, and turned that "energy" into intellectual pursuits, you'd find Muslims at the forefront of intellectual achievement. But they're pretty much absent? Miuslims are all circumcised, but in a word, they're DUMMIES. No more succinct way to put it. Muslims are circ'ed, but STUPID. Shoots down the entire circ is "rechanneling" sexual energies into intellectual pursuits. Circ is only that - debilitating and disabling sexual abuse of helpless children. Non-circ'ed Germans have done the bulk of scientific work. Circ contributes nothing to the intellectual properties of a man.
Preston Wiginton I've moved all 4 of your comments, except your last one, to your discussion page because they seem so personal and an unfair distraction from Gilad's points, and from mine, except for this last of your comments. It does manage to get past the personal. Your display of contempt for Islam is shared by many and might invite some useful discussion.
Preston Wiginton From my Jewish point of view it seems one has to be stupid to buy the line that God was so loving of us humans that he gave his only begotten son to be sacrificed helplessly on a cross as Jesus suffered. The only logic of such a motive would be for God to want to thus demonstrate how bad Jews were, that their laws and ways were wrong, obsolete and irrelevant. What else does that crucifixion prove except point to the Jews as bad guys? It was totally out of character for the Romans to ask the Jews which of 3 guys to crucify. That must have been written in later. Moses had already declared it an abomination to die so helplessly, and abomination means something even God looks away from! So to say God did it deliberately to make some point is nonsense. So the argument here is that blaming the Jews was the motivation for the Romans' spin of the Jesus story and their crucial participation in the language of the New Testament. I credit Hyam MacCoby for his books, "Revolution in Judea", and "The Mythmaker, Paul and The Invention of Christianity" for pointing to the anti-Jewish sentiment of the Romans and their influence in the wording as well as promotion of the New Testament. MacCoby explains that when the Jews managed to kick the Romans out of the Holy Land about 100 years after Jesus, under the leadership of another attempted Savior, Bar Kochba, the Romans were able to come back in after a 7 year siege, which so demoralized the Jews that the Romans were able to waste them and march many in chains thru the streets of Rome, lest any other peoples of their empire feel so uppity. Christianity was a response to that, created at a time when Rome declared practicing Judaism a capital offense. While Christians go with the line that Jesus came to fulfill the law, you gotta be stupid not to notice it's a systematic defilement of Jewish Law. For starters, it was declared an abomination to have intercourse with a woman betrothed to another, yet that is how His Only Son is begotten? The notion of the Trinity is a blatant violation of the First Commandment that insists only one item of worship. Judaism is rules and rituals to enhance life, not to suffer passively this life so you can have pie in the sky when you die.
I am a Heathen so why are you preaching to me? I loathe Christianity. I think Christianity was created by jews as a response that they were not liked and it gave a way for jews to be "The Chosen". Regardless it is a desert religion alien to my people, created by alien people. All can go back to the middle east as far as I am concerned, except Gilad, or others who think like him. Your point on circ is still moot in that the bulk of science and inventions comes from Germans, Pre 1933 if you wanted a PHD in the sciences or math you had to be able to speak German. So much was coming out of Germany at the time that they actually ruled that part of academia. As well Germany has led to world in patents. On average Germany produced 25,000 patents a year. The USA is next with 4000 and Japan 3rd with 1000. Jews seldom invent anything. Jews are masters of words, nothing more and the few things they do invent involve explosions.. such as the atom bomb or the big bang theory.
