‘Everything in Moderation, INCLUDING Moderation’

William Lloyd Garrison, anti-slavery Abolitionist (Liberator, January 1, 1831):

I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire, to give a moderate alarm: tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — and I will be heard.

‘Tell Me, Where Can I Go?’ Won’t You Please Understand? Go to That Precious Promised Land!

Leo Fuld – Where Can I Go

Lyrics (found here):

[Yiddish…]

Tell me, where can I go?
There’s no place I can see.
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed for me.
To the left, to the right,
It’s the same in every land.
There is nowhere to go
And it’s me who should know,
Won’t you please understand?
Now I know where to go,
Where my folk proudly stand.
Let me go, let me go
To that precious promised land.
No more left, no more right,
Lift your head and see the light.
I am proud, can’t you see,
For at last I am free:
No more wandering for me.

Old Joke on Soviet Censorship, Nationalities UPDATED

As Putin said, woke America is copying the Soviets.

An American [Indian] visiting Soviet Russia [America] needed a tooth pulled, and was shocked to discover the astronomical price.

“Why so expensive for a basic tooth extraction?”

Well, answered the Russian [American] dentist, we have to go through the ear.

“Through the ear?!”

“Exactly. In Soviet Russia [America] these days no one is allowed to ‘open their mouth’, so we are forced to work through the ear…”

(I know. It presumably sounds better in Russian.)

The Awful Truth About Cicero and Rome

I don’t recommend actually reading this long-narrative filth, משום מגרה יצר הרע בנפשיה, but it’s good to have the hyperlink handy to forward to certain types of Jews:
  • Neocons (who also love Athenian Democracy)
  • Wonkish scribblers
  • Kirkians
  • Roman-readers
  • Overeducated lawyer-types
  • Did I mention neocons yet?
  • Etc.
  • Combos of the above
You say that he raped an actress,” Cicero told the court. “And this is said to have happened at Atina, while he was quite young.”
There was a low, subdued chuckle from the crowd. They were all men — women weren’t allowed inside the courtroom — most from the town of Atina themselves. They’d made the 80-mile trip to support a man they respected, whom they believed had been unfairly accused.
His name was Gnaeus Plancius, and in the year 54 B.C., he was one of the most powerful men in Rome.
It was more than 2,000 years before the #MeToo movement, but a scene similar to the ones we’ve witnessed so often lately was already playing out. A prominent politician was on trial for corruption and bribery, charges bolstered by dirt his enemies had dug up from his past: the violent sexual assault of a young girl.
