    As goes California, goes the United States.

    As goes the United States, goes the western world.

    Step by Step. Slowly enough most people will believe it wasn't a change at all.

    It is indisputable that Judaism is a religion. Israel is a nation. There is genetic evidence that suggests they are also an ethnicity or race derived from a diaspora of common ancestors from ancient Israel Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes

    Although conversion is possible, it is more than just a religion. Immigration restrictions seem to be applied unevenly depending on ethnicity:

    Israel gave birth control to Ethiopian Jews without their consent | The Independent

    There are also the Black Hebrew Israelites who consider themselves ethnically and religiously Jewish, but are not recognized by Orthodox Jews as being ethnically or religiously Jewish.

    Not to actual Scotsmen.

    I've not see WW mentioned in this thread.

    Infiltration instead of Invasion. Our government is at war with itself.

    Looks to me like similar struggles are taking place within other countries.

    Lots of Jews (Ashkenazim most often, imo) are very vocal about not wanting to be considered White, and do perceive a Jewish race, but others don't, and some consider themselves White. It's not so simple.

    In general, I think it's fair to say Jewish ethnicity, religion and nationhood are completely intertwined which makes sense given the genesis of the religion, and the story of the Jewish people. Also explains the reason why something like this law could be passed last year:
    Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People - Wikipedia

    The strength of Jewish group-identity is only something to be admired and learned from in this world of increasing atomization.

    Judaism also gets my vote for the most metal sounding commandment of all religions, ever... Commandment #49 of 613: Not to pass your children through the fire to Molech.
    If this holds water, then how about the Mormon race? To paraphrase Shaw, two nations separated by a common language, each with it's own special meanings and colours.

    Doesn't make much difference in the long-run, though, with regards to what your pragmatic, low-level solutions are. There's so much uncertainty right now that I think it would behoove people to pay more attention to the world at arms-length instead of worrying over a thousand different scenarios before November 3rd and after.
    If it hadn't been for the information Q shared, regular people would not know about this:

So, let me put it this way: I think Snowden is an absolute traitor for what I know he did that you don't know. Adm. Michael Rogers is a patriot for what he did. The government is light years BEHIND tech for any apocalyptic big-brother scenario you can think of, and everyone's dying to throw AI on top of that.

    Accepting that is not the same as accepting defeat.

    Also, I'm sorry this is cryptic. I'm not trying to be an annoying shit. I really can't and WON'T disclose things.
    But Q told us 3 years ago..at least the big picture. Adm Rogers is indeed a hero. Nothing classified...but without Q, we would have never learned what he did. This and other info has helped us regular civilians avoid the "chicken little" panic. The reason some here are proclaiming the end of American here is they lack information.....information that you have.

    all geared up! I think a mandatory service obligation, something like 2 years, minimum (is that even enough time to produce effective servicemen for our military, David, or does it need to be longer, like five years?) would do a hell of a lot of good for our young men and our country! Would've been great for me, my brother, and best friend, at least!
    I mean, how many of us can honestly say our late teens and early twenties were spent harmoniously and productively, whether we attended college or not?
    I wonder what would happen if the draft was reinstated with no college deferment. A large exodus ?
