Common justice demands Affirmative Action for Jews

As every schoolboy know, Jews have been to the forefront of civil rights, diversity and Affirmative Action from Day 1.  The ACLU, $PLC and various other Jewish pressure groups have assiduously examined employment statistics and developed complex mathematical formulae to determine each ethnic grouping's appropriate representational level.   

But never for themselves. 

And this of course is entirely attributable to the legendary altruistic, selfless pursuit of the common good that we've come to associate with Jews.  The worry themselves sick about justice for blacks, Muslims, lesbians, Hispanics, but never for themselves.

Well dammit, if they won't do it for themselves then I will!  And I'm starting here and now.  Common justice demands it.  They have waited, mute but hopeful, for long enough.  So here's my plan.  As for every other minority an examination of Jewish representation will be undertaken at all our enterprises and institutions, and, applying the prevailing  formulations, the appropriate Jewish representation level will be calculated. 

As a broad guide for AA and diversity purposes we can assume that in Western countries they make up 1% of the population.  Ok, I know, it's less than that.  But let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Oy vey, they've suffered enough already.

So for example the US Senate should have at least one Jewish Senator at all times. It's only fair.  And banking too.  Every ten years or so a Jew should be appointed to head up a major bank.  And they'd be entitled to a few in the higher ranks of the HeBeBC BBC as well. In any event I think we should find out the figures.  And if there are fewer (or in  the unlikely event of there being more) the correct quota - as calculated by existing methods - should be applied.  Same with academia, in fact everywhere.

To my Jewish friends and colleagues I say I'm not looking for your thanks or plaudits.  Just like with you, my sense of fair play dictates my actions. And I'm sure we all can look forward to the day when representation fully and accurately reflect the ethnic mix of our communities.

Agreed?

Confirmation

As I suggested in this post, the 'neo-Nazis' gathering all the attention in Ukraine were merely shock troop cannon fodder to be disposed of  once the real rulers regained power.  And sure enough it begins. According to the Gruaniad Oleksander Muzychko – known as Sashko Bily, or Sasha the White – has been killed in a shootout in the western city of Rivne.  In classic totalitarian style he was 'shot while resisting arrest'.  

It seems the 'far right' had not intended returning to obscurity, having visions of actually gaining some political control.  Bad move.  Especially for Bily The Adult. Meanwhile as the Jewish oligarchs reinforce their grip on the country half-Jewish former Prime Minister Julia Timochenko gets caught saying she'd like to nuke the 10 million of her own citizens who happen to be of Russian origin.

This baby is set to run and run, IMHO.

WW 3......or just another strike for pay?

Yes, the question is as strange as that. What gives rise to it is a report from Reuters which says that Israeli diplomats have launched an unprecedented strike which forced the complete closure of  all embassies around the world as they escalated a dispute over pay.

Maybe, and hopefully, that's just what it is.  Or are they clearing the decks for a strike on Iran that could well precipitate global conflict?

The Ghost Of Nastiest Uncles Past

As I explained in earlier posts, the reason I banned NU was not because of his views or how he expressed them, rather that the comment facility had degenerated into the trading of insults, distracting everyone from the content of the post itself.  I don't mind off-topic comments at all, ones that bring an interesting bit of information to the table - UN being a particularly worthy representative of this genre. 

But of late NU is being brought back in, either directly or indirectly, attracting responses from what appears to be NU himself under various noms de guerre.  With the same result..... the threads are becoming a mess.  I'm not going back to pre-approving comments but what I will do is delete each reference to His Nastyship and reserve the right to ban any persistent offender.

How to charm an audience

Listening to a Stalin speech was a risky affair. Every so often his address would be punctuated by 'spontaneous' applause, which seemed to go on for ever.  Quite literally more time was spent applauding than actually listening. The comrades' hands were falling off, bruised and bloody from interminable clapping, yet, with rictus grins, they continued nonetheless.  Why?  Because a group of eagle-eyed apparatchiks circled the hall, watching for whoever caved in first. Duly noted, the offender would never to be seen again.

Same with North Korea. I often wondered how the peons would quite literally shed buckets of tears when some tyrant or other ascended to the Great Gulag In The Sky. I mean, few people express their emotions with such intensity even when a loved one dies, let alone for some tyrant who's made your whole life a misery.  We know now of course that that country's judicial code ordains that anyone identified as showing insufficient grief will be flung to a pack of starving dogs, or will undergo some other innovative form of execution.  The beatings will continue until morale improves.

All of this reminded me of Netenyahu's address to the American Congress a few years back in which he was interrupted no fewer than 29 times by 'spontaneous' applause from his worshipful subjects. And while there was no danger of the less enthusiastic ones being shipped off to the gulag or used as mortar target practise, the motivation was similar.  To demonstrate obeisance and fealty to their powerful rulers.  A truly shocking demonstration of servitude by the 'representatives' of a once proud nation.

Nigerian jobs stampede tragedy

Just read in the Gruaniad that at least 16 people died when more than half a million people were invited to apply for fewer than 5,000 Nigerian government jobs.  Horrific scenes ensued as nearly 60,000 people stampeded in the Abuja National Stadium which had only one gate open.  As Obummer might say, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their famblies.

But what puzzles me is this: If there were 60,000 there and only 5,000 jobs, the danger of getting one of them was tiny..........so why the stampede? 

A new species?

I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't go in for crude name-calling.  I've no problem at all with others doing it, as the comments section on this blog underlines. But  it's not my personal cup of tea.  I suppose it's down to there being a residue of liberal guilt still residing somewhere in my makeup.

But take a look at the pictures below of the three main suspects in what Madison police are calling 'one of the most brutal crimes in recent memory.'   (I'm sure you'll all join with me in sympathising with the people of Madison, a city which I heard described as the most liberal in America.  How's that new-found diversity workin' out for  you, folks?)   And I ask: Can the creatures pictured here honestly be classed as human, or do they represent some ghastly mutation, a half-way house between man and ape?  I'm not playing this for laughs or for some cheap and easy point scoring. My question is serious. Can these monsters be fully human?
