H.G. Wells, #Pizzagate, and Wikipedia

On the push for gruesome agendas in popular culture and civilization ’ s moral decline I initiated this article from a comment I intended to post on the Fired Up : Moloch in the Media ( 1-15-20 ) podcast released recently by Renegade Broadcasting , but as it usually happens with me , the damn thing snowballed in such a way that it became a full-blown article , basically due to the amount of research connected to the “ illustrious ” figure of H.G .
Wells .
I have to admit that this was a topic I wanted to write @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goes .
There are a couple of articles on the Internet which I would somewhat recommend taking a look to , BUT I will not endorse for obvious reasons .
One of them is written by a very “ beloved ” figure by this network called Zen Gardner , the article in question is entitled H.G .
Wells , Wikipedia and The World Brain Matrix ( June 2012 ) , the other one comes from Henry Makow ’ s website and it is entitled H.G .
Wells Prophet of The NWO ( April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guess Springmeier comes from the same tribe as Makow – confirmation needed ) .
I would not trust either of these authors , but the information contained in the aforementioned links should be enough to get an overview on H.G .
Wells , which would be way too long and tedious to elaborate in just a single article here .
However , I have created a list of other sources which can be found at the end of this page , in case people might want to get deeper into the subject .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ written a host of famous books like ‘ The Invisible Man ’ , ‘ The War of The Worlds ’ and ‘ The Time Machine ’ , but he had a lesser known side as a writer of non-fiction books like The New World Order ( 1940 ) -the name says it all- in which he discussed topics related to “ one world order ” and “ global peace , ” obviously according to the globalist standards of today .
Indeed H.G .
Wells was an enthusiastic supporter of the NWO .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writings , Wells psychologically conditioned the public to accept the implantation of the New World Order as if it were a “ self-evident ” historical conclusion ( I wonder from who he learned that trick from ) .
At some point Wells was member of the proto-Masonic organization the Fabian Society , although apparently he parted ways with them due to ideological “ disagreements ” .
The Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon website claims that “ conspiracy theorists have labeled Wells both an “ Illuminati ” and a “ Freemason ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Open Conspiracy.
” To me this is extraordinarily irrelevant since Wells was undeniably an insider through and through who went around the world selling the idea of the NWO to characters of the likes of Josef Stalin and Teddy Roosevelt .
It is clearly self-evident that Wells was well-connected to the top-pyramid of power , regardless of him being a Freemason or not .
Among many of Wells ’ “ predictions ” were the foundation of the League of Nations ( UN ) , modern warfare , the bombing of London , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ importantly “ technocracy ” as we know it at this day and age , also the idea of a “ permanent world encyclopedia ” , as disclosed in his 1936 book World Brain , an idea which we can see nowadays materialized in the shape of the very ( in ) famous “ Wikipedia ” .
Are we to believe that all these “ predictions ” were the result of a “ visionary mind ” ?
really ?
But leaving all these interesting topics aside there is something else I wanted to discuss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my opinion , some weird Time Machine / # Pizzagate parallelisms .
In Wells ’ famous novel The Time Machine ( 1895 ) the “ Morlocks ” ( i.e .
Molochs ) are these cannibal creatures who live in underground structures and prey on the peaceful , tiny child-looking , frugivorous Eloi ( basically what is known as “ soy-boys ” in the current parlance ) .
Both groups form what it seems to be the society of the future , centuries away from present humanity , in some distant undisclosed time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they can only live in dark artificial underground caves where they butcher the Eloi to feed themselves .
Morlocks only go outside by night in order to hunt the Eloi .
Curiously enough the Morlocks are the creatures who keep the Eloi alive , clothing them and feeding them as “ cattle ” .
Here we see a clear depiction of dualism ; in one hand we have the gentle , child-like , vegetarian Eloi ( who happen to be all blonds , as described in the book and depicted in the old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and on the other hand , the very sinister and unpleasant Morlocks who seem to actually be the ones who are running the show in this distant dystopian future .
They are basically top of the pyramid and top of the food-chain as predators .
This is a very graphic description that has never been featured in any other version of the story in media ( at least that I know of ) .
It basically illustrates , with gruesome detail , what these “ Morlocks ” are all about : In a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ hypnotized ” by a siren sound in order to be flocked inside the bunker-like Morlocks ’ underground facilities , which we see in the film , being crowned by a very eerie-looking metal sphinx .
This makes me thing directly of mind-control techniques .
This scene ( as far as I can remember ) is not part of the old novel though .
In spite of being a 60 year old movie , the 1960 ’ s film version of the ‘ Time Machine ’ story by George Pál is really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would not so much recommend the 2002 version of the story ( directed by Wells ’ grandson Simon Wells ) featuring Kalergi-styled mulatto Eloi , as it clearly misses the point completely .
One can believe that Wells got the inspiration for the name “ Morlocks ” from the “ Morlachs ” , a Vlach pastoralist community in the mountains of Croatia in the second half of the 14th until the early 16th century ( who happened to have somewhat “ rudimentary customs ” ) as Wikipedia tells us , not from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be more plausible in my opinion .
One can also believe that H.G .
Wells did not have any connections to anything “ Illuminati ” or “ Freemasonic ” , as freemasons themselves would like us believe ( Freemasonry ; a reliable source of truth and enlightenment , right ? )
.
Whatever the case might be what really transpires is that H.G .
Wells was trying to tell us something in the ‘ Morlocks vs Eloi ’ story , maybe something beyond the apparent in this “ speculative ” literary genre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and depressing tale as The Time Machine if Wells himself was a liberal social engineer who believed in a too-big-too-fail technocratic NWO Utopia in the making ?
Was H.G .
Wells a “ pessimist ” à la Spengler after all ?
or was Wells actually encoding , in a fable-styled way , something he knew about but could not state publicly ?
I believe the general consensus is that Wells was , with this story , fear-mongering people about the idea that cannibalism is an inevitable end-result of a degenerate “ old world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and collapses , an old society he was arguably “ fighting against ” as a NWO ’ s sponsor ( I think Wells admitted his writing style of “ social critique ” had been influenced by Jonathan Swift , another high-ranking freemason ) .
That would explain a lot of things about his character and ambitions .
Regardless , given Wells ’ set of “ predictions ” one is inclined to think that there is more than meets the eye there , specially talking about a story so embedded in popular culture .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in mainstream media and how crazy agendas are being promoted .
On this particular respect do not forget to check Normalizing Cannibalism and Weaponizing Celebrity Culture , also the very recent addition Why is Justin Bieber Tagging Babies “ Yummy ” on Instagram ?
The Answer is Sickening .
I admit that “ H.G .
Wells predicting # Pizzagate ” is a bit of a stretch , though I really find staggering that some stories mirror real life so accurately , to the point of confirming “ science fiction ” as a deliberate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I exposed in an old article entitled Dystopian Nightmares Made In Hollywood which I hope those who did not read back in the day will read this time , if interested .

On the push for gruesome agendas in popular culture and civilization’s moral decline
I initiated this article from a comment I intended to post on the Fired Up: Moloch in the Media (1-15-20) podcast released recently by Renegade Broadcasting, but as it usually happens with me, the damn thing snowballed in such a way that it became a full-blown article, basically due to the amount of research connected to the “illustrious” figure of H.G. Wells. I have to admit that this was a topic I wanted to write about since forever, so here it goes.
Who was H.G. Wells?
There are a couple of articles on the Internet which I would somewhat recommend taking a look to, BUT I will not endorse for obvious reasons. One of them is written by a very “beloved” figure by this network called Zen Gardner, the article in question is entitled H.G. Wells, Wikipedia and The World Brain Matrix (June 2012), the other one comes from Henry Makow’s website and it is entitled H.G. Wells Prophet of The NWO (April 2011) by Fritz Springmeier (I guess Springmeier comes from the same tribe as Makow – confirmation needed). I would not trust either of these authors, but the information contained in the aforementioned links should be enough to get an overview on H.G. Wells, which would be way too long and tedious to elaborate in just a single article here. However, I have created a list of other sources which can be found at the end of this page, in case people might want to get deeper into the subject.
H.G. Wells is best-known for having written a host of famous books like ‘The Invisible Man’, ‘The War of The Worlds’ and ‘The Time Machine’, but he had a lesser known side as a writer of non-fiction books like The New World Order (1940) -the name says it all- in which he discussed topics related to “one world order” and “global peace,” obviously according to the globalist standards of today. Indeed H.G. Wells was an enthusiastic supporter of the NWO. It seems that, through his books and writings, Wells psychologically conditioned the public to accept the implantation of the New World Order as if it were a “self-evident” historical conclusion (I wonder from who he learned that trick from). At some point Wells was member of the proto-Masonic organization the Fabian Society, although apparently he parted ways with them due to ideological “disagreements”.
The Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon website claims that “conspiracy theorists have labeled Wells both an “Illuminati” and a “Freemason” because of his 1929 book Imperialism and The Open Conspiracy.” To me this is extraordinarily irrelevant since Wells was undeniably an insider through and through who went around the world selling the idea of the NWO to characters of the likes of Josef Stalin and Teddy Roosevelt. It is clearly self-evident that Wells was well-connected to the top-pyramid of power, regardless of him being a Freemason or not.
Among many of Wells’ “predictions” were the foundation of the League of Nations (UN), modern warfare, the bombing of London, time travel, etc, but most importantly “technocracy” as we know it at this day and age, also the idea of a “permanent world encyclopedia”, as disclosed in his 1936 book World Brain, an idea which we can see nowadays materialized in the shape of the very (in)famous “Wikipedia”. Are we to believe that all these “predictions” were the result of a “visionary mind”? really?
But leaving all these interesting topics aside there is something else I wanted to discuss about Wells.
The Moloch Connection
Here there are, in my opinion, some weird Time Machine / #Pizzagate parallelisms. In Wells’ famous novel The Time Machine (1895) the “Morlocks” (i.e. Molochs) are these cannibal creatures who live in underground structures and prey on the peaceful, tiny child-looking, frugivorous Eloi (basically what is known as “soy-boys” in the current parlance). Both groups form what it seems to be the society of the future, centuries away from present humanity, in some distant undisclosed time. Morlocks cannot stand light, they can only live in dark artificial underground caves where they butcher the Eloi to feed themselves. Morlocks only go outside by night in order to hunt the Eloi. Curiously enough the Morlocks are the creatures who keep the Eloi alive, clothing them and feeding them as “cattle”.
Vegetarianism vs Cannibalism
Here we see a clear depiction of dualism; in one hand we have the gentle, child-like, vegetarian Eloi (who happen to be all blonds, as described in the book and depicted in the old movie, by the way), and on the other hand, the very sinister and unpleasant Morlocks who seem to actually be the ones who are running the show in this distant dystopian future. They are basically top of the pyramid and top of the food-chain as predators.
This is a very graphic description that has never been featured in any other version of the story in media (at least that I know of). It basically illustrates, with gruesome detail, what these “Morlocks” are all about:
Necessarily my memory is vague. Great shapes like big machines rose out of the dimness, and cast grotesque black shadows, in which dim spectral Morlocks sheltered from the glare. The place, by the by, was very stuffy and oppressive, and the faint halitus of freshly shed blood was in the air. Some way down the central vista was a little table of white metal, laid with what seemed a meal. The Morlocks at any rate were carnivorous! Even at the time, I remember wondering what large animal could have survived to furnish the red joint I saw.” – Excerpt from ‘The Time Machine’ (1895) chapter VI.
In a scene from the old movie the Eloi are “hypnotized” by a siren sound in order to be flocked inside the bunker-like Morlocks’ underground facilities, which we see in the film, being crowned by a very eerie-looking metal sphinx. This makes me thing directly of mind-control techniques. This scene (as far as I can remember) is not part of the old novel though.
In spite of being a 60 year old movie, the 1960’s film version of the ‘Time Machine’ story by George Pál is really worth watching; on the other hand I would not so much recommend the 2002 version of the story (directed by Wells’ grandson Simon Wells) featuring Kalergi-styled mulatto Eloi, as it clearly misses the point completely.
Conclusion
One can believe that Wells got the inspiration for the name “Morlocks” from the “Morlachs”, a Vlach pastoralist community in the mountains of Croatia in the second half of the 14th until the early 16th century (who happened to have somewhat “rudimentary customs”) as Wikipedia tells us, not from the name “Moloch” which seems to be more plausible in my opinion. One can also believe that H.G. Wells did not have any connections to anything “Illuminati” or “Freemasonic”, as freemasons themselves would like us believe (Freemasonry; a reliable source of truth and enlightenment, right?).
Whatever the case might be what really transpires is that H.G. Wells was trying to tell us something in the ‘Morlocks vs Eloi’ story, maybe something beyond the apparent in this “speculative” literary genre. Why write about such a gruesome and depressing tale as The Time Machine if Wells himself was a liberal social engineer who believed in a too-big-too-fail technocratic NWO Utopia in the making? Was H.G. Wells a “pessimist” à la Spengler after all? or was Wells actually encoding, in a fable-styled way, something he knew about but could not state publicly?
I believe the general consensus is that Wells was, with this story, fear-mongering people about the idea that cannibalism is an inevitable end-result of a degenerate “old world” society as it reaches its end and collapses, an old society he was arguably “fighting against” as a NWO’s sponsor (I think Wells admitted his writing style of “social critique” had been influenced by Jonathan Swift, another high-ranking freemason). That would explain a lot of things about his character and ambitions.
Regardless, given Wells’ set of “predictions” one is inclined to think that there is more than meets the eye there, specially talking about a story so embedded in popular culture. We know who is pushing hidden messages in mainstream media and how crazy agendas are being promoted. On this particular respect do not forget to check Normalizing Cannibalism and Weaponizing Celebrity Culture, also the very recent addition Why is Justin Bieber Tagging Babies “Yummy” on Instagram? The Answer is Sickening.
I admit that “H.G. Wells predicting #Pizzagate” is a bit of a stretch, though I really find staggering that some stories mirror real life so accurately, to the point of confirming “science fiction” as a deliberate blueprint for future events, just as I exposed in an old article entitled Dystopian Nightmares Made In Hollywood which I hope those who did not read back in the day will read this time, if interested.

Lohengrin represents the most exciting aspects of Romantic opera : in the tradition of Weber ’ s operas , leaving plenty of room for long periods of singing , for the moulding of the singing , but gradually deploying the orchestral fabric with an expansion of the woodwinds and the assumption of a space in which Wagner ’ s unique symphonic colour will develop to form his immediately recognisable sound signature .

Lohengrin is first and foremost a conductor ’ s opera .
Throughout it the conductor must distribute a thousand impulses , caressing or dramatic , even violent , and finally soothed , while at the same time moulding the huge choruses with the same science of balance and outbursts , of light and dark .

From Opera Online:
Lohengrin represents the most exciting aspects of Romantic opera:in the tradition of Weber’s operas, leaving plenty of room for long periods of singing, for the moulding of the singing, but gradually deploying the orchestral fabric with an expansion of the woodwinds and the assumption of a space in which Wagner’s unique symphonic colour will develop to form his immediately recognisable sound signature.
The Prélude, with its almost immobile dynamic, its haunting stretching out of the sound, is the initial image of that: the atmosphere of Lohengrin appears immediately, a blend of reverence and contemplation, when the orchestra must be absolutely transparent even as it exudes a mellowness of sound and a sort of warm tenderness. Lohengrin is first and foremost a conductor’s opera. Throughout it the conductor must distribute a thousand impulses, caressing or dramatic, even violent, and finally soothed, while at the same time moulding the huge choruses with the same science of balance and outbursts, of light and dark. And then there are the voices, the vocal quartet that weaves the web of this Romantic and pessimistic story in which the theme of power combines with that of the artist and his function on earth.
A young princess, Elsa, is accused of her brother’s murder. As her only defence, she describes a dream in which a noble knight comes to wash away the vile accusation – and, at that precise moment, a mysterious knight appears in a gondola pulled by a swan!He offers to undergo God’s judgment by fighting for the princess’s honour and then marrying her – on one condition:that she not seek to find out who he is or where he comes from. The knight quickly defeats the accuser, Telramund, spares his life and then marries Elsa amidst great public rejoicing. But the vanquished Telramund, humiliated, plots his vengeance with his wife, Ortrud: the two of them will sow doubt and fear in the mind of the princess regarding the origins of the mysterious knight – until she, troubled and unbalanced, asks the forbidden question. The knight then reveals his divine essence and sense of sacred mission, delivers Elsa’s missing brother, whom Ortrud’s spell had turned into a swan, and goes off forever…


renegadetribune--2020-01-27--An Army For Hire: Trump Wants To Make Money By Renting Out American Soldiers

To stay that there has been some strange stuff coming out of the White House lately would be an understatement .
If President Donald Trump knew a bit more about history , he would understand that countries that rent out their national armies to serve as mercenaries usually wind up holding the short end of the stick .
There is the example of Pyrrhus of Epirus in the third century B.C.
, for whom the expression “ Pyrrhic victory ” was coined , and , more recently there was the British employment of 30,000 Hessian and other German soldiers in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rented out by their prince to the King of England to pay the expenses of his government .
The use of mercenaries by the British was cited by the colonists as one of their principal grievances and the Hessians became the losers in one of the few early colonial victories at Trenton .
There is currently considerable evidence surfacing suggesting that Trump views the United States military as some kind of mercenary force , a cash and carry security option for those who can come up with the dough .
In a recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Fox News , the president boasted that “ We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia .
I said , listen , you ’ re a very rich country .
You want more troops ?
I ’ m going to send them to you , but you ’ ve got to pay us .
They ’ re paying us .
They ’ ve already deposited $ 1 billion in the bank.
” Some readers might just suspect that they ’ ve heard language like that before , but they are most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where Marlon Brando playing a young Vito Corleone was running a protection racket for small businesses and shopkeepers in New York ’ s Little Italy .
Corleone first had to kill the Black Hand extortionist Don Fanucci in order to take over his racket , something that has a certain resonance with what is going on currently in Iraq .
Trump has long complained that America ’ s allies are not paying enough to compensate the United States for the protection that it provides all over the world .
He has pressured allies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even demanding that the Iraqis and South Koreans should reimburse the construction costs of airfields and other defense installations that have been used as bases by the American army and air force .
Indeed , not surprisingly , the only country that gets away with having a U.S. base without any Trumpean demand for compensation is Israel , which actually gets the base plus more than $ 3.8 billion a year in “ aid.
” In the case of the Saudis , the government in Riyadh has ponied up the money to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American soldiers .
The move is intended to help protect the Kingdom from possible attack by Iran or its proxies , a particular concern given the devastating attack staged by an unidentified someone on the major Saudi oil refinery on September 14th .
One might recall , however , that the “ unholy ” presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia prior to 9/11 was a major grievance successfully exploited by al-Qaeda , resulting in 15 of the 19 presumed airline hijacking terrorists being Saudis .
Trump ’ s logic on the issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a protection racket .
He looks to make a profit , without regard for the collateral costs that can not be entered in double entry book keeping .
The reality is that sending soldiers to places where they should not necessarily be largely because some foreign country can foot the bill loses sight of the fact that some of those people being ordered abroad will die .
That is unacceptable and it makes the American Army little better than a mercenary force , hardly a “ force for good ” as Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Kelley Vlahos of The American Conservative reports how the U.S. military in Saudi Arabia will man “ …assets designed to help the Saudi military guard against Iranian attacks , including four Patriot batteries , a terminal high-altitude area defense system , or THAAD air defense system , and two squadrons of fighter jets .
She also observes the “ clincher ” in the deal , which is that “ …one important aspect of the deployment is the presence of American forces in more locations across the kingdom .
They believe Iran has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , either directly or indirectly , in part because Trump has made clear that would trigger a military response.
” In other words , as Vlahos observes , U.S. military personnel would be serving as human shields for the Saudis , to deter possible Iranian attacks .
That sounds like a very bad bit of thinking on the part of whichever lunkhead in Washington came up with the scheme .
If the Saudi case were not bad enough , the Washington Post has also recently published an article extracted from a new book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ J. Trump ’ s Testing of America , by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig , which includes detailed accounts of meetings between the president and his senior staff .
The book is admittedly designed as a hit piece on Trump and it tends to beatify the military and its senior officers while also uncritically accepting America ’ s global role , but some of the invective hurled at the generals and admirals by Trump is , quite frankly , disgusting .
One particular meeting held at the Pentagon ’ s top security Joint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Tank ” is reported in detail , clearly from the notes and recollections of participants or possibly even from a recording .
It took place six months into the Trump administration on July 20 , 2017 , and included Vice President Mike Pence , Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph F. Dunford , Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis , Director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn , Secretary of State Rex Tillerson , Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan , Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and the leaders of the military branches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Steve Bannon was also in attendance .
Per the article , Mattis and other cabinet members present had arranged the meeting because they had become alarmed by Trump ’ s lack of knowledge of the key international alliances forged by Washington following after World War II .
Trump had been routinely dismissing America ’ s allies as worthless .
Mattis , Cohn , and Tillerson used PowerPoint presentations for ninety minutes in the belief that it would keep Trump from getting bored .
The graphics showed where U.S. troops were stationed and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to America ’ s global defense and national security posture .
Trump occasionally spoke up when he heard a word he didn ’ t like , describing American overseas bases as “ crazy ” and “ stupid.
” His first complaint was over his perception that foreigners should pay for U.S. protection .
Regarding South Korea he fumed , “ We should charge them rent .
We should make them pay for our soldiers .
We should make money off of everything.
” Trump also called NATO useless , not because of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but instead based on what they owed .
“ They ’ re in arrears , ” he shouted and gesticulated , as if they were late on their rent payments , before directing his ire against the generals .
“ We are owed money you haven ’ t been collecting !
You would totally go bankrupt if you had to run your own business.
” Trump then got specific , naming Iran , saying of the nuclear pact with that country , which he had not yet withdrawn from , “ They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ building .
We ’ re getting out of it .
I keep telling you , I keep giving you time , and you keep delaying me .
I want out of it.
” And Afghanistan ?
A “ loser war .
You ’ re all losers .
You don ’ t know how to win anymore.
” Trump then went into a rage as he demanded oil to pay for the troops stationed in the Persian Gulf .
“ We spent $ 7 trillion ; they ’ re ripping us off .
Where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to win .
We don ’ t win any wars anymore…We spend $ 7 trillion , everybody else got the oil and we ’ re not winning anymore.
” Glaring around the room he concluded “ I wouldn ’ t go to war with you people .
You ’ re a bunch of dopes and babies.
” The only one in the room who responded to Trump ’ s tirade was Secretary of State Rex Tillerson , who objected “ No , that ’ s just wrong Mr. President , you ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true .
The men and women who put on a uniform don ’ t do it to become soldiers of fortune .
That ’ s not why they put on a uniform and go out and die… They do it to protect our freedom.
” After the meeting ended and the participants were departing , Tillerson famously shook his head and opined “ He ’ s a fucking moron.
” In a follow-up meeting in December , Trump called together his generals and other senior officials in the Situation Room , the secure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the West Wing .
The subject was how to come up with a new policy for Afghanistan .
Trump started the discussion by saying “ All these countries need to start paying us for the troops we are sending to their countries .
We need to be making a profit .
We could turn a profit on this .
We need to get our money back.
” Tillerson was again the only one to respond : “ I ’ ve never put on a uniform , but I know this .
Every person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people in this room , they don ’ t do it to make a buck .
They did it for their country , to protect us .
I want everyone to be clear about how much we as a country value their service.
” Trump was angered by the rebuke and three months later Tillerson was fired .
Mattis subsequently resigned .
Even if one discounts , as many do , the rationalizations made by senior military officers and diplomats for staying the course in places like Afghanistan and Iraq , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is something deplorable in a bullying president who sees everything in transactional terms , buying and selling .
Sending American soldiers into potential death traps like Saudi Arabia as part of a non-existent strategy to make money is beyond criminal behavior .
People on both sides die when the decision making coming out of the White House is bad , and there has been no president either more ignorant or worse in that respect than Donald J. Trump .

In a recent interview that Trump gave to Laura Ingraham of Fox News, the president boasted that “We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia. I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1 billion in the bank.”
Some readers might just suspect that they’ve heard language like that before, but they are most likely recalling The Godfather part 1 movie where Marlon Brando playing a young Vito Corleone was running a protection racket for small businesses and shopkeepers in New York’s Little Italy. Corleone first had to kill the Black Hand extortionist Don Fanucci in order to take over his racket, something that has a certain resonance with what is going on currently in Iraq.
Trump has long complained that America’s allies are not paying enough to compensate the United States for the protection that it provides all over the world. He has pressured allies to pay for the U.S. military presence, even demanding that the Iraqis and South Koreans should reimburse the construction costs of airfields and other defense installations that have been used as bases by the American army and air force. Indeed, not surprisingly, the only country that gets away with having a U.S. base without any Trumpean demand for compensation is Israel, which actually gets the base plus more than $3.8 billion a year in “aid.”
In the case of the Saudis, the government in Riyadh has ponied up the money to pay for the Trump relocation of 3,000 American soldiers. The move is intended to help protect the Kingdom from possible attack by Iran or its proxies, a particular concern given the devastating attack staged by an unidentified someone on the major Saudi oil refinery on September 14th. One might recall, however, that the “unholy” presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia prior to 9/11 was a major grievance successfully exploited by al-Qaeda, resulting in 15 of the 19 presumed airline hijacking terrorists being Saudis.
Trump’s logic on the issue is that of an accountant who works for a protection racket. He looks to make a profit, without regard for the collateral costs that cannot be entered in double entry book keeping. The reality is that sending soldiers to places where they should not necessarily be largely because some foreign country can foot the bill loses sight of the fact that some of those people being ordered abroad will die. That is unacceptable and it makes the American Army little better than a mercenary force, hardly a “force for good” as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would have it.
Kelley Vlahos of The American Conservative reports how the U.S. military in Saudi Arabia will man “…assets designed to help the Saudi military guard against Iranian attacks, including four Patriot batteries, a terminal high-altitude area defense system, or THAAD air defense system, and two squadrons of fighter jets. She also observes the “clincher” in the deal, which is that “…one important aspect of the deployment is the presence of American forces in more locations across the kingdom. They believe Iran has demonstrated its reluctance to target American personnel, either directly or indirectly, in part because Trump has made clear that would trigger a military response.”
In other words, as Vlahos observes, U.S. military personnel would be serving as human shields for the Saudis, to deter possible Iranian attacks. That sounds like a very bad bit of thinking on the part of whichever lunkhead in Washington came up with the scheme.
If the Saudi case were not bad enough, the Washington Post has also recently published an article extracted from a new book entitled A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump’s Testing of America, by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, which includes detailed accounts of meetings between the president and his senior staff.
The book is admittedly designed as a hit piece on Trump and it tends to beatify the military and its senior officers while also uncritically accepting America’s global role, but some of the invective hurled at the generals and admirals by Trump is, quite frankly, disgusting. One particular meeting held at the Pentagon’s top security Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting room called “The Tank” is reported in detail, clearly from the notes and recollections of participants or possibly even from a recording. It took place six months into the Trump administration on July 20, 2017, and included Vice President Mike Pence, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph F. Dunford, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and the leaders of the military branches. Trump’s personal “strategist” Steve Bannon was also in attendance. Per the article, Mattis and other cabinet members present had arranged the meeting because they had become alarmed by Trump’s lack of knowledge of the key international alliances forged by Washington following after World War II. Trump had been routinely dismissing America’s allies as worthless.
Mattis, Cohn, and Tillerson used PowerPoint presentations for ninety minutes in the belief that it would keep Trump from getting bored. The graphics showed where U.S. troops were stationed and explained the security arrangements that had led to America’s global defense and national security posture.
Trump occasionally spoke up when he heard a word he didn’t like, describing American overseas bases as “crazy” and “stupid.” His first complaint was over his perception that foreigners should pay for U.S. protection. Regarding South Korea he fumed, “We should charge them rent. We should make them pay for our soldiers. We should make money off of everything.”
Trump also called NATO useless, not because of their lack of a raison d’etre, but instead based on what they owed. “They’re in arrears,” he shouted and gesticulated, as if they were late on their rent payments, before directing his ire against the generals. “We are owed money you haven’t been collecting! You would totally go bankrupt if you had to run your own business.”
Trump then got specific, naming Iran, saying of the nuclear pact with that country, which he had not yet withdrawn from, “They’re cheating. They’re building. We’re getting out of it. I keep telling you, I keep giving you time, and you keep delaying me. I want out of it.” And Afghanistan? A “loser war. You’re all losers. You don’t know how to win anymore.”
Trump then went into a rage as he demanded oil to pay for the troops stationed in the Persian Gulf. “We spent $7 trillion; they’re ripping us off. Where is the fucking oil? I want to win. We don’t win any wars anymore…We spend $7 trillion, everybody else got the oil and we’re not winning anymore.” Glaring around the room he concluded “I wouldn’t go to war with you people. You’re a bunch of dopes and babies.”
The only one in the room who responded to Trump’s tirade was Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who objected “No, that’s just wrong Mr. President, you’re totally wrong. None of that is true. The men and women who put on a uniform don’t do it to become soldiers of fortune. That’s not why they put on a uniform and go out and die… They do it to protect our freedom.”
After the meeting ended and the participants were departing, Tillerson famously shook his head and opined “He’s a fucking moron.”
In a follow-up meeting in December, Trump called together his generals and other senior officials in the Situation Room, the secure meeting room on the ground floor of the West Wing. The subject was how to come up with a new policy for Afghanistan. Trump started the discussion by saying “All these countries need to start paying us for the troops we are sending to their countries. We need to be making a profit. We could turn a profit on this. We need to get our money back.”
Tillerson was again the only one to respond: “I’ve never put on a uniform, but I know this. Every person who has put on a uniform, the people in this room, they don’t do it to make a buck. They did it for their country, to protect us. I want everyone to be clear about how much we as a country value their service.” Trump was angered by the rebuke and three months later Tillerson was fired. Mattis subsequently resigned.
Even if one discounts, as many do, the rationalizations made by senior military officers and diplomats for staying the course in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, where they admittedly have screwed the pooch, there is something deplorable in a bullying president who sees everything in transactional terms, buying and selling. Sending American soldiers into potential death traps like Saudi Arabia as part of a non-existent strategy to make money is beyond criminal behavior. People on both sides die when the decision making coming out of the White House is bad, and there has been no president either more ignorant or worse in that respect than Donald J. Trump.

Renegade Editor’s Note: I obviously do not think Yahweh has any purity whatsoever, nor do I think the OT has noble ideas and great truths, as this author states.
By Paul Carus
From History of the Devil [1900]
Azazel, the God of the Desert.
THE PRIMITIVE STAGES of the Hebrew civilisation are not sufficiently known to describe the changes and phases which the Israelitic idea of the Godhead had to undergo before it reached the purity of the Yahveh conception. Yet the Israelites also must have had a demon not unlike the Egyptian Typhon, for the custom of sacrificing a goat to Azazel, the demon of the desert, suggests that the Israelites had just emerged from a dualism in which both principles were regarded as equal.
We read in Leviticus xvi.:
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one for the Lord, and the other for Azazel. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin-offering. But the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement with him and to let him go to Azazel in the desert.”
The name Azazel is derived from aziz, which means strength, and El, God. The god of war at Edessa is called Asisos (Ἄϩιϩος) the strong one. Bal-aziz was the strong god, and Rosh-aziz, the head of the strong one, is the name of a promontory on the Phœnician coast. Azazel, accordingly, means the Strength of God.
The mention of Azazel must be regarded as a last remnant of a prior dualism. Azazel, the god of the desert, ceased to be the strong god, and became a mere shadow of his former power, for the scapegoat is no longer a sacrifice. Yahveh’s goat alone is offered for a sin-offering, while the scapegoat carries out into the desert the curse of the people’s sin, and thus the worship of Azazel changed into a mere recognition of his existence.
These sacrificial ceremonies, however, which, on account of their being parts of religious performances, were only reluctantly discarded, are the lingering vestiges in Hebrew literature of an older dualism in which the power of evil received an equal share of worship with the power of good.
Superstitions.
The Old Testament contains many noble ideas and great truths; indeed it is a most remarkable collection of religious books, than which there is none more venerable in the literature of the world. Yet there are tares among the wheat, and many lamentable errors were, even by some of the leaders of the old Israelites, regarded as essential parts of their religion. The writers of the Bible not only made God responsible for, and accessory to, the crimes which their own people committed, e. g., theft (Exodus xi.), and murder and rape (Numbers xxxi. 17-18); but they cherished also the same superstitions that were commonly in vogue among savages. Thus the custom of burying people alive under foundation stones is mentioned as having been sanctioned by the God of Israel. When Jericho was destroyed at the special command of God, all its inhabitants were slain, “both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and ass,” with the sole exception of Rahab, a disreputable woman who had betrayed the city into the hands of the enemies of her countrymen. And Joshua adjured the people, saying:
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first born and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.”
Jericho, however, was sure to be rebuilt sooner or later, for, being the key to Palestine, and commanding the entrance into the country from the desert routes, it was too important both for commercial and strategic purposes to be left in ruins; and the man who undertook the work was still superstitious and savage enough to heed Joshua’s curse: We read in the first Book of Kings, with reference to the reign of Ahab (Chap. xvi. 34):
In his days, Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid the foundation stones thereof in Abiram, his first born, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son, Segub, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by Joshua, the son of Nun.”
The terrible witch-prosecutions which in the Middle Ages harassed Christianity have their root in passages of the Old Testament.
The laws of Exodus (xxii. 18) provide capital punishment for witchcraft, and the same command is repeated in Leviticus, where we read:
The soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.” (Lev. xx. 6.) A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.” (Lev. xx. 27.)
In spite of the severity of the law against wizards and witches, the Israelites were always inclined to resort to their help. Saul, who had done his best to exterminate soothsayers (I Sam. xxviii. 9), when in greatest anxiety, called on the witch of Endor. It is evident from various passages that the Israelites believed in evil spirits dwelling in darkness and waste places. (See Lev. xvii. 7; Deut. xxx. 17,; ib. xxxii. 17; 2 Chron. xi. 15; Isaiah xiii. 21; ib. xxxiv. 14; Jer. 1. 39; Psalms cvi. 37.) Their names are Seirim (chimeras or goat-spirits), Lilith (the nightly one), Shedim (demons). The Seirim remind us of Assyrian pictures which represent evil spirits in the shape of goats. It is difficult to say whether these various demons of the Hebrews are to be regarded as the residuum of a lower religious stage preceding the period of the monotheistic Yahveh cult, or as witnesses to the existence of superstitions which certainly haunted the imagination of the uncultured not less in those days than they do now in this age of advanced civilisation.
Apparently the rise of a purer religion was slow and the habits of a savage age were long-lingering. The vestiges of devil-worship with several of its most bestial rites and even human sacrifices continued to exist even when a more radiant light began to shine in the world.
Satan.
When Azazel began to be neglected, Satan rose into existence. The belief in a God of Evil was replaced by the belief in all evil demon. And Satan, the tempter and originator of all evil, was naturally identified with the serpent that “was more subtil than ally beast of the field” (Genesis iii. 1).
Satan, the fiend, as a name in the sense of Devil, is rarely mentioned in the Old Testament. The word Satan, which means “enemy” is freely used, but, as a proper name, signifying the Devil, appears only five times. And it is noteworthy that the same event is, in two parallel passages, attributed, in the older one to Yahveh, and in the younger one, to Satan.
We read in 2 Samuel xxiv. 1:
The anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.”
The same fact is mentioned in 1 Chron. xxi. 1:
Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel.”
In all the older books of Hebrew literature, especially in the Pentateuch, Satan is not mentioned at all. All acts of punishment, revenge, and temptation are performed by Yahveh himself, or by his angel at his direct command. So the temptation of Abraham, the slaughter of the first-born in Egypt, the brimstone and fire rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah, the evil spirit which came upon Saul, the pestilence to punish David-all these things are expressly said to have come from God. Even the perverse spirit which made the Egyptians err (Isaiah xix. 14), the lying spirit which was in the mouths of the prophets of Ahab (1 Kings xxii. 23; see also 2 Chron. xviii. 20-22), ignorance and indifference (Isaiah xxix. 10), are directly attributed to acts of God.
The prophet Zechariah speaks of Satan as an angel whose office it is to accuse and to demand the punishment of the wicked. In the Book of Job, where the most poetical and grandest picture of the Evil One is found, Satan appears as a malicious servant of God, who enjoys performing the functions of a tempter, torturer, and avenger. He accuses unjustly, like a State’s attorney who prosecutes from a mere habit of prosecution, and delights in convicting even the innocent, while God’s justice and goodness are not called in question.
It is noteworthy that Satan, in the canonical books of the Old Testament, is an adversary of man, but not of God; he is a subject of God and God’s faithful servant.
The Jewish idea of Satan received some additional features from the attributes of the gods of surrounding nations. Nothing is more common in history than the change of the deities of hostile nations into demons of evil. In this way Beelzebub, the Phoenician god, became another name for Satan; and Hinnom (i. e. Gehenna), the place where Moloch had been worshipped, in the valley of Tophet, became the Hebrew name for hell in place of the word Sheol, the world of the dead under ground. The idol of Moloch was made of brass, and its stomach was a furnace. According to the prophets (Is. lvii. 5; Ez. xvi. 20; Jer. xix. 5), children were placed in the monster’s arms to be consumed by the heat of the idol. The cries of the victims were drowned by drums, from which (“toph,” meaning drum) the place was called “Tophet.” Even the king, Manasseh, long after David, made his son pass through the fire of Moloch (2 Kings xxi.). Josiah endeavored to make an end of this terrible practice by defiling Tophet, in the valley of the children of Hinnom (2 Kings xxxiii 10).
Thus the very name of this foreign deity naturally and justly became among the Israelites the symbol of abomination and fiendish superstition.
The historical connexion of Israel’s religion with the mythologies of Assyria and Babylon, begins now to be better understood; since we have learned to decipher the ancient cuneiform records. There are many most significant reminiscences of Bel Merodach’s combat with Tiamat left in the Old Testament, and Hemann Gunkel after having given a literal translation of the several passages with explanatory comments says (Schöpfung und Chaos, p. 88):
Nowhere in extant literature is the myth of Yahveh’s combat with the dragon actually narrated. Judaism, the distinctive work of which was the collection of the canon, did not admit myths that savored of heathendom. Nevertheless, the fact that in all the passages that speak of the dragon the myth is not portrayed but simply presupposed, proves that it was very well known and very popular with the people. The absence of the myth in the canon,–and this in the interest of the Christian reader need not be deplored,–is distinct and conclusive evidence that we possess in our Old Testament a fragment only of the old religious literature.
“The myth was from the very beginning in Israel a hymn to Yahveh. The Yahveh-hymn therefore is the favorite place for making reference to the dragon-myth,–of which we have a beautiful instance in Psalm lxxxix. The poet that portrays Yahveh’s oppression of humanity (Job xl. et seq.; ix. 13; xvi. 13; also Psalm civ.); the prophet that terrorises the sinning people with pictures of Yahveh’s omnipotence (Am. ix.); he that arouses the people languishing under a foreign dominion (Isaiah li. 9 et seq.): all make direct reference to Yahveh’s power even over the dragon.”
It is noteworthy that the seven-armed candlestick of the arch of Titus contains on its base figures of dragons, which we may justly assume to be Leviathan, Behemoth, and Rahab, the mythological monsters of Israel.

renegadetribune--2020-01-27--Yale To Eliminate Introductory Art History Class, Citing It Is Too White, Male And Straight

The following is out of a 24 January 2020 Yale Daily News article titled “ Art History Department to scrap survey course.
” The article states that this decades old introduction to art history class “ once touted to be one of Yale College ’ s quintessential classes ” was previously taught by some famous Yale scholars .
The final rendition of the course is to be held this Spring and will “ seek to question the idea of Western art itself — a marked difference from the course ’ s focus at its inception.
” While Barringer thinks the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” he goes on to say , “ But I don ’ t mistake a history of European painting for the history of all art in all places.
” Since the announcement of the elimination of the class , student demand to enroll in the final Spring offering has skyrocketed ; however , the class can only accept 300 students .
One student critical of the move to eliminate the class was cited in the article : “ My biggest critique of the decision is that it ’ s a disservice to undergrads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ If you get rid of that one , all-encompassing course , then to understand the Western canon of art , students are going to have to take multiple art history courses .
Which is all well and good for the art history major , but it sucks for the rest of us , which , I would say , make up the vast majority of the people who are taking [ HSAR 115 ] .
” The article wraps up with a quote from the Director of Undergraduate Studies , Marissa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was rubbing her hands together with Jewish glee over the elimination of this Art History class .
Taking this to its logical conclusion , it is only a matter of time before the teaching of any White cultural history is eliminated altogether .
Beside criticism from some unnamed students , where else within Yale could the call for such changes be coming from ?

The following is out of a 24 January 2020 Yale Daily News article titled “Art History Department to scrap survey course.”
Yale will stop teaching a storied introductory survey course in art history, citing the impossibility of adequately covering the entire field — and its varied cultural backgrounds — in one course.
The article states that this decades old introduction to art history class “once touted to be one of Yale College’s quintessential classes” was previously taught by some famous Yale scholars.
But this change is the latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western “canon” — a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight, European and male cadre of artists.
The final rendition of the course is to be held this Spring and will “seek to question the idea of Western art itself — a marked difference from the course’s focus at its inception.”
Art history department chair and the course’s instructor Tim Barringer told the News that he plans to demonstrate that a class about the history of art does not just mean Western art. Rather, when there are so many other regions, genres and traditions — all “equally deserving of study” — putting European art on a pedestal is “problematic,” he said.
While Barringer thinks the course “is of profound cultural value” he goes on to say, “But I don’t mistake a history of European painting for the history of all art in all places.”
Instead of this singular survey class, the Art History Department will soon offer a range of others, such as “Art and Politics,” “Global Craft,” “The Silk Road” and “Sacred Places.” Barringer added that in two or three years, his department will offer a substitute class to “Introduction to Art History.” But the new class “will be a course equal in status to the other 100-level courses, not the introduction to our discipline claiming to be the mainstream with everything else pushed to the margins,” Barringer said.
Since the announcement of the elimination of the class, student demand to enroll in the final Spring offering has skyrocketed; however, the class can only accept 300 students.
In his syllabus note to potential students on Canvas, an online course management tool, Barringer wrote that the emphasis would be placed on the relationship between European art and other world traditions. The class will also consider art in relation to “questions of gender, class and ‘race’” and discuss its involvement with Western capitalism, Barringer wrote. Its relationship with climate change will be a “key theme,” he wrote.
One student critical of the move to eliminate the class was cited in the article:
“My biggest critique of the decision is that it’s a disservice to undergrads,” Mahlon Sorensen ’22 said. “If you get rid of that one, all-encompassing course, then to understand the Western canon of art, students are going to have to take multiple art history courses. Which is all well and good for the art history major, but it sucks for the rest of us, which, I would say, make up the vast majority of the people who are taking [HSAR 115].”
The decision to get rid of this survey art history course resembles the English Department’s move to “decolonize” its degree requirements in 2017. At the time, the department made a sequence titled “Major English Poets” optional for majors… But in an interview with the News in 2018, humanities professor and then-Director of Undergraduate Studies of the program Kathryn Slanski said while many of the authors discussed in the program are “dead white men,” everyone can learn from their texts as long as they perform nuanced and analytical readings.
The article wraps up with a quote from the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Marissa Bass:
Yale’s History of Art department is deeply committed to representing the intellectual diversity of its students and its faculty, and we believe that introductory surveys are an essential opportunity to continue to challenge, rethink and rewrite the narratives surrounding the history of engagement with art, architecture, images and objects across time and place,” Bass said. “These surveys and those that we will continue to develop in the future are designed in recognition of an essential truth: that there has never been just one story of the history of art.”
I wonder if Marisa Bass was rubbing her hands together with Jewish glee over the elimination of this Art History class. Taking this to its logical conclusion, it is only a matter of time before the teaching of any White cultural history is eliminated altogether.
Beside criticism from some unnamed students, where else within Yale could the call for such changes be coming from? Beside the above quotes from (((faculty))) perhaps another Yale Daily News article of 13 January 2020, titled “Yale expands faculty diversity funding” may give some clues.
Yale’s Faculty Excellence and Diversity Initiative, a University-wide effort to recruit and retain a diversity of professors, will be renewed for an additional five years with a $35 million boost to its budget…The initiative, created in late 2015, dedicated millions of dollars to make competitive offers to tenure-track faculty members that can “enrich the excellence and diversity” of the University, according to its website…With the additional monetary commitment, the program’s budget will grow from $50 million to a total of $85 million.
The president of Yale University, Peter Salovey, had this to say about the faculty diversity program:
We are making an emphatic statement about our commitment to recruiting the most distinguished scholars, who will help diversify Yale, transform their fields, create knowledge to improve the world, and inspire our students to lead and serve all sectors of society,” he wrote. Faculty diversity has become a key issue for the University in recent years. In 2016, Salovey called the lack of minority representation among professors Yale’s “single biggest problem.” According to the Office of Institutional Research, there are roughly two male ladder faculty members in the FAS for every female — meaning that there are nearly 200 more men than women in such positions.
And then there is this quote from Larry Gladney, FAS Dean of Diversity and Faculty Development:
Diversity efforts — especially those spearheaded by the initiative — contribute to a more dynamic, representative university environment…students often perform better “where they see more of themselves reflected in the faculty teaching and mentoring them.” Other advantages include broadened classroom discussions, improvements in scholarship and exposure to demographics that more closely match life outside of college, he added. According to Gladney, additional diversity efforts are ongoing. Once its charge is officially issued, the President’s Committee on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion could deliver “game-changing recommendations for the campus on how to better achieve the diverse and inclusive environment we want for faculty, students and staff,” he said.
Here is a little background on Yale President Peter Salovey as found on Wikipedia:
Peter Salovey is an American social psychologist who previously served as Yale’s Provost Dean of Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Dean of Yale College. (The Saloveys are descendants of the Soloveitchik rabbinic family and Peter Salovey’s brother, Todd, is the associate artistic director of the San Diego Repertory Theater and on the theater and dance faculty at the University of California, San Diego).
Peter Salovey is one of the early pioneers and leading researchers in emotional intelligence. He, along with his colleague, John D. Mayer, significantly expanded the scope of the concept of emotional intelligence and authored several of the field’s seminal papers, arguing that people have widely ranging abilities pertaining to emotional control, reasoning and perceptivity. Against earlier theories of intelligence that conceived of emotion as rival to reasoning, Salovey and Mayer contended that emotion could motivate productive outcomes when properly directed. Outside Yale, Salovey has served on the National Science Foundation’s Social Psychology Advisory Panel, the National Institute of Mental Health Behavioral Science Working Group, and the NIMH National Advisory Mental Health Council. Salovey served as President of the Society for General Psychology and Treasurer of the International Society for Research on Emotion.
Emotional Intelligence is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one’s goal(s).
Studies have shown that people with high EI have greater mental health, job performance, and leadership skills although no causal relationships have been shown and such findings are likely to be attributable to general intelligence and specific personality traits rather than emotional intelligence as a construct.
Criticisms have centered on whether EI is a real intelligence and whether it has incremental validity over IQ and the Big Five personality traits.
Every day it becomes more clear that the college environment is becoming toxic to White college-age young people, even among elite universities. This is just another example of Jews eliminating White history and carrying out their White genocide program. The Antifa movement is just one example of the philosophy of Emotional Intelligence Jewish claptrap which throws out logic and reasoning to create unthinking, self-absorbed emotional drones. Questions arise about how government and intelligence agencies might be using psychological practices that come out of Jewish controlled institutions like the National Science Foundation’s Social Psychology Advisory Panel, the National Institute of Mental Health Behavioral Science Working Group, and the NIMH National Advisory Mental Health Council to continue the Jewish supremacist White genocide onslaught.
