Corona, Too: Race Denialism Kills People

Lance Welton from V Dare:

The Ruling Class, which stated with such fanatical satisfaction that it was right, was wrong, as is usually the case with ideologues who refuse to listen to contrary opinions. Many of us really felt what it must be like to live in a paranoid dictatorship: massive restrictions on what one could do, the compulsion to wear uncomfortable masks, and self-appointed “Karens” who demanded “social distancing,” even outdoors. Recall that cops tased a mom at an Ohio high school football game for not wearing a mask.

Understandably, the suggestion that we must Amnesty the Ruling Class and its leftist Mainstream Media Information Ministry has invited no small amount of fury [Let’s Declare A Pandemic Amnesty, by Emily Oster, Atlantic, October 31, 2022].

…

This applies equally, albeit less noticed, to the Ruling Class reversal on race. While Oster and her crowd were masking up for outdoor (!) excursions, some of us spent our time tracking data and publishing pieces that showed, for instance, that the virus affects races differently, partly for genetic reasons. Months later, a government report vindicated that claim. In other words, we were right all along, and the race deniers were wrong. COVID affects the races differently.

When the pandemic began, the U.N. confidently stated that “COVID-19 does not discriminate; nor should our response.” That self-righteous piece of virtue-signaling didn’t age well [COVID-19 does not discriminate; nor should our response, Officer for the High Commission for Human Rights, March 20, 2020]. This was flatly wrong.

In contrast, I began to attach a mantra to my coverage of COVID and race:

If COVID-19 is not an Equal Opportunity disease, that means our race-denying Ruling Class is frightening most people too much—and not warning some people enough. This will not merely cause unnecessary chaos—it will cost lives. 

This is exactly what happened.

מרן הרב טאו, בעל ‘מורא מקדש’ כסיבה להתרחק מן המקדש יוצא במבצע חדש: מורא שבת

את שבתותי תשמרו ומקדשי תיראו

ידוע ומפורסם לכל שיטת ספר יראים סי’ ת”י שיש מצות מורא גם משבת קודש (ובפי’ “תועפות ראם” שם כתב שצ”ל שהי’ לרבינו גירסא מחודשת בגמרא). ומי יהין לחלוק וכולנו תלמידיו, וכו’ וכו’.

כהמשך ישיר של מאבק “מורא מקדש” למניעת כניסה ל”הר המור” הוא הר הבית, המלווה חששות רבות כידוע (יסודתו בהררי קדש, מפרדסאות שהושיבו מלכי ישראל), כעת הקהילה הקדושה רוכשת מטוס סילון יד שניה ושוכרת שרותי גוי של שבת לטיסה נגד הזמן מסביב לעולם…

המטרה, בשם “מורא שבת”, היא לצמצם מעט את השעות המקודשות המועדות למכשול ח”ו.

הרי זדונו כרת!

הטייס הוא גוי, כשם שעדיף שגוים יכנסו להר הבית ולא יהודים. וסימן למטוס, “אדם מקדש עצמו מעט מקדשין אותו הרבה, מלמעלה מקדשין אותו מלמטה” (ואולי אצלכם הגירסא שונה.)

פרטים והרחבה יבואו בהמשך.

הזמינו מקום במטוס הקדוש היום!

Perhaps this can be extended in other ways; I’ll support your sports team, wear your favorite color, and so on.

‘Go to the Artisan Who Made Me!’

“Tis true my form is something odd

But blaming me is blaming God

Could I create myself anew

I would not fail in pleasing you.

 

If I could reach from pole to pole

Or grasp the ocean with a span

I would be measured by the soul

The mind’s the standard of the man.”

NEVER Trust Chomsky. Ever!

Alan Dershowitz inoculated me early on against trusting anything from Noam Chomsky, no matter how benign. But it appears the vaccine wears off with time.

Chomsky derides the lack of skin in the game by opinionated parties far-removed (do his ears hear his own mouth?!), quoting Chaim Weizmann.

Proponents of each of the national movements are quick to dismiss the competing claims. I will not review the familiar debate. It is a simple and pointless exercise to construct an argument to demonstrate the legitimacy of the claims of either side and the insignificance of the demands of its opponent. Each argument is convincing in its own terms. Each claim is, in a sense, absolute: a plea for national survival. Those who urge the demands of one or the other partner in this deadly dance, deaf to conflicting pleas, merely help pave the way to an eventual catastrophe. Such behavior is pathetic on the part of direct participants; disgraceful, on the part of those partisans from afar who will not have to pay the costs of their fanaticism. One may recall Chaim Weizmann’s rebuke to American Zionists for urging “other people to the barricades to face tanks and guns”—“the speeches are made in New York,” Weizmann added, “while the proposed resistance is to be made in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.” The same might be said—and probably has been—by Palestinians with regard to those who urge them on towards self-destruction.

…

I almost believed him. Almost. Then I checked.

As it turns out, Weizmann was giving praise.

In October 1946 eleven new Jewish settlements were established in the Negev in a single night, aimed at ensuring that the Negev would be included within the boundaries of the State…

The 22nd Zionist Congress opened in Basle on 9 December 1946. The new Negev settlements, Weizmann told the delegates, ‘have, in my deepest conviction, a far greater weight than a hundred speeches about resistance – especially when the speeches are made in New York, while the proposed resistance is to be made in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem’.
