russiainsider--2020-01-26--Europeans Lead in Every Field, Jewish Brilliance a Myth, Einstein Over-Rated, Hyped by Jewish PR

The New York Times recently published an opinion piece by its gun-grabbing , open borders in-house `` conservative '' columnist Bret Stephens asserting that Ashkenazi Jews are an elite race by nature of their superior hereditary , culture and soul .
For sure , there are Jews of exceptional intellect and ability , but this is true for most races .
Stephen 's dictation is an evacuation straight from the bowels of Zionist ideology into the minds of the liberal status quo beneath his feet .
His inference is the contention that Jewish domination of Western cultural , economic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ natural selection rather than nepotism and propaganda .
A cursory glance of history puts the Jews to shame .
When it comes to innovation , no nation has punched outside of its weight class like Scotland .
With a modern population of 4.5 million and less than a million in England , Scots have gifted mankind with radar technology , Penicillin , the telephone , the vacuum flask and much more .
Unlike abstractions like Marxism , Freudianism and Relativity , these inventions have drastically improved the lives of all human beings and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sciences , Stephens points to Jews winning Nobel prizes at a disproportionate rate as evidence of their genius .
Yet it is Swedes , with a population smaller than Jewry , who have discovered 20 elements on the Periodic Table , only slightly trailing the United Kingdom ( 24 ) and America ( 21 ) in the race to understand the hidden nuances of the world around us .
As a complement to Nordic scientific prowess , the smallest branch of the Latin-Mediterranean race , Portugal - a nation which during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 million - rose to prominence in the Age of Discovery , helping man fill an otherwise blank map of the globe .
Despite being a tiny sliver of land off the Iberian peninsula surrounded by hostile powers , Portugal had by the 16th century developed ships that shattered European limitations in sea travel ( the equivalent of going to space at the time ) to circumnavigated Earth and split claims to much of the newly discovered world with Spain at the Treaty of Tordesillas .
The plucky Portuguese had a presence seemingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far as Japan and India , not to mention permanent cultural and racial imprints in Africa and Latin America .
What , in comparison , are the major achievements of the booming Ashkenazi Jewish population during this time period ?
They may have a presence on every continent today , but only thanks to infrastructure and discoveries by nations like Portugal .
The biggest hole in the contemporary race theories Stephens quotes , by delineating Ashkenazis from Sephardics , is that the rise and fall in prominence of the two groups coincides with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Latins ruled the world , it was Sephardics ( including those expelled from Spain ) who composed the elite of world Jewry in Britain , Holland , and so on .
With Anglo-Saxon powers , Germany and the ethnic go-between of France taking Spain and Portugal 's place as superpowers , suddenly Ashkenazis woke up to find themselves in the driver 's seat .
This suggests civilizational parasitism , not independent genius .
We can see other examples of Jewish underachievement in the Classical world .
New studies show that the Roman Empire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 5 million , while estimates of the Jewish population in times before Christ range from 3 to 8 million ( Josephus claimed 1.1 million Jews died during the First Roman-Jewish War alone ) .
Jews are purported to have had large armies and empires , but they were largely pastoralists who shared more in common with the Mongols in their violent disdain for high culture and intolerance , leaving behind few literary or technological achievements .
Even the Western Wall , which Jews claim is their ancient Temple , is nothing more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fort .
The Myth of Einstein and `` Relativity Hype '' Stephens emphasizes the cultural meme of Albert Einstein as the core evidence demonstrating the intellectual prowess of the Jews .
Jews are indeed highly overrepresented as Nobel Prize winners in the world of physics , where many of the theories are abstract and difficult ( if not impossible ) to prove or disprove , but are not very well represented in the most significant developments in the field in the last three decades : Quantum Teleportation ( one Jew out of six @ @ @ @ @ @ @ independently discovered by the Indian Satyendra Nath Bose yet credited to Einstein who merely reiterated the work afterwards ) , the `` God Particle '' ( Peter Higgs and Francois Englert ) , etc .
The Einstein question thus personifies the problem with claims of Jewish superiority .
The theory of relativity was controversial inside the European scientific community when it was released in 1905 without peer review .
Nobel Prize winning German physicists Johannes Stark and Philipp Lenard were open opponents of it due to what they saw as hijacking physics away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abstractions and overemphasis on math .
The German physics community 's main issue with the Einstein phenomenon was not just the theory , but how normal scientific standards were suspended to declare Einstein the new Copernicus .
This declaration was made by Einstein 's ( a Zionist activist deeply integrated with pan-Jewry ) fellow Jews in the press , which critics dubbed `` relativity hype . ''
This both surprised and infuriated his colleagues .
A book released in 1924 by renown physicist Ernst Gehrcke , `` The Mass Suggestion of Relativity Theory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with no proof that Einstein had shattered all previous notions in classical physics despite the jury still being out among many of his most respected peers .
Einstein 's genius is the work of publicists and mass suggestion , in other words .
Additionally , Einstein did not discover relativity , but merely reconstituted discoveries by Joseph Larmor ( released in 1897 and work by Henri Poincare ( published in 1898 ) , both who abided by classical scientific norms .
Whatever the merits or demerits of E=mc2 , it was the Italian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1632 .
When confronted with these facts or dissenting opinions throughout his career , Einstein 's go-to tactic was to take to the newspapers that loved him and accuse his detractors of `` anti-Semitism . ''
With modern technology , the theory of relativity has been challenged time and time again .
Every year a new scientist outside of the oxygen-deprived and politicized Western academy , like in India or Russia , provides mathematical or even common sense ( like mass and energy being interchangeable ) wrenches in the relativity machine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 2011 , the highly respected CERN caused waves in the media by seemingly disproving the core arguments attributed to Einstein when neutrinos sped faster than light during a high-tech experiment .
After outcry and dismay from certain gatekeepers in academia and the media , CERN claimed that a cable in their machine was loose and the previous results were not recreated after adjustment .
While this incident alone does not prove an attempt to protect Einstein 's legacy , fear within the scientific community of losing grants in resource-starved physics research by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not like should not be dismissed either .
Today , Albert Einstein 's reputation as the smartest man who ever lived is bolstered by a seemingly infinite number of books , TV shows , and movies celebrating his life and supposed achievements - far more than any other scientist in history .
Jews excel in physics on paper but it was Einstein 's `` common sense '' oriented scientific opponents in the Third Reich that first developed the rocket technology that allowed us to reach space .
While this author is out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nuts and bolts of relativity , one looks at the Jewish spirit 's replacement of reason and intuition with abstraction and relativism in other fields like the arts , anthropology , culture of critique or music , and questions should arise regarding whether Einstein 's similar approach towards Physics has been more of a retarding arbitrary rule scientists are pressured to work within the confines of rather than the groundbreaking accomplishment we are expected to take for granted .
Would this supposed `` consensus '' still be so if Germany had won the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of top-down Jewish pressure from people like Bret Stephens ?
It is generally assumed that the hard sciences are free from political ideology , but challenging the Einstein myth provokes the same institutional reaction as James Watson affirming the biology of race ( outside of the Jewish superiority context Bret Stephens and the New York Times has deemed appropriate ) .

For sure, there are Jews of exceptional intellect and ability, but this is true for most races. Stephen's dictation is an evacuation straight from the bowels of Zionist ideology into the minds of the liberal status quo beneath his feet. His inference is the contention that Jewish domination of Western cultural, economic and political choke points is a product of natural selection rather than nepotism and propaganda.
A cursory glance of history puts the Jews to shame.
When it comes to innovation, no nation has punched outside of its weight class like Scotland. With a modern population of 4.5 million and less than a million in England, Scots have gifted mankind with radar technology, Penicillin, the telephone, the vacuum flask and much more. Unlike abstractions like Marxism, Freudianism and Relativity, these inventions have drastically improved the lives of all human beings and taken civilization to new heights.
In the sciences, Stephens points to Jews winning Nobel prizes at a disproportionate rate as evidence of their genius. Yet it is Swedes, with a population smaller than Jewry, who have discovered 20 elements on the Periodic Table, only slightly trailing the United Kingdom (24) and America (21) in the race to understand the hidden nuances of the world around us.

The plucky Portuguese had a presence seemingly everywhere, with holdings and ports as far as Japan and India, not to mention permanent cultural and racial imprints in Africa and Latin America.
What, in comparison, are the major achievements of the booming Ashkenazi Jewish population during this time period? They may have a presence on every continent today, but only thanks to infrastructure and discoveries by nations like Portugal.
The biggest hole in the contemporary race theories Stephens quotes, by delineating Ashkenazis from Sephardics, is that the rise and fall in prominence of the two groups coincides with the arc of their hosts. When Latins ruled the world, it was Sephardics (including those expelled from Spain) who composed the elite of world Jewry in Britain, Holland, and so on. With Anglo-Saxon powers, Germany and the ethnic go-between of France taking Spain and Portugal's place as superpowers, suddenly Ashkenazis woke up to find themselves in the driver's seat. This suggests civilizational parasitism, not independent genius.
We can see other examples of Jewish underachievement in the Classical world. New studies show that the Roman Empire at its peak had a citizen population of 5 million, while estimates of the Jewish population in times before Christ range from 3 to 8 million (Josephus claimed 1.1 million Jews died during the First Roman-Jewish War alone).
Jews are purported to have had large armies and empires, but they were largely pastoralists who shared more in common with the Mongols in their violent disdain for high culture and intolerance, leaving behind few literary or technological achievements. Even the Western Wall, which Jews claim is their ancient Temple, is nothing more than the remnant of a Roman army fort.
The Myth of Einstein and "Relativity Hype"
Stephens emphasizes the cultural meme of Albert Einstein as the core evidence demonstrating the intellectual prowess of the Jews.
Jews are indeed highly overrepresented as Nobel Prize winners in the world of physics, where many of the theories are abstract and difficult (if not impossible) to prove or disprove, but are not very well represented in the most significant developments in the field in the last three decades: Quantum Teleportation (one Jew out of six authors), the Bose-Einstein Condensate (independently discovered by the Indian Satyendra Nath Bose yet credited to Einstein who merely reiterated the work afterwards), the "God Particle" (Peter Higgs and Francois Englert), etc.
The Einstein question thus personifies the problem with claims of Jewish superiority.
The theory of relativity was controversial inside the European scientific community when it was released in 1905 without peer review. Nobel Prize winning German physicists Johannes Stark and Philipp Lenard were open opponents of it due to what they saw as hijacking physics away from illustrative and intuitive norms towards unfalsifiable abstractions and overemphasis on math.
The German physics community's main issue with the Einstein phenomenon was not just the theory, but how normal scientific standards were suspended to declare Einstein the new Copernicus.
This declaration was made by Einstein's (a Zionist activist deeply integrated with pan-Jewry) fellow Jews in the press, which critics dubbed "relativity hype." This both surprised and infuriated his colleagues. A book released in 1924 by renown physicist Ernst Gehrcke, "The Mass Suggestion of Relativity Theory," recorded 5,000 newspaper articles affirming with no proof that Einstein had shattered all previous notions in classical physics despite the jury still being out among many of his most respected peers.
Einstein's genius is the work of publicists and mass suggestion, in other words. Additionally, Einstein did not discover relativity, but merely reconstituted discoveries by Joseph Larmor (released in 1897 and work by Henri Poincare (published in 1898), both who abided by classical scientific norms. Whatever the merits or demerits of E=mc2, it was the Italian Galileo Galilei who first theorized about relativity in 1632. When confronted with these facts or dissenting opinions throughout his career, Einstein's go-to tactic was to take to the newspapers that loved him and accuse his detractors of "anti-Semitism."
With modern technology, the theory of relativity has been challenged time and time again. Every year a new scientist outside of the oxygen-deprived and politicized Western academy, like in India or Russia, provides mathematical or even common sense (like mass and energy being interchangeable) wrenches in the relativity machine, at least as Einstein proposed it. In 2011, the highly respected CERN caused waves in the media by seemingly disproving the core arguments attributed to Einstein when neutrinos sped faster than light during a high-tech experiment.
After outcry and dismay from certain gatekeepers in academia and the media, CERN claimed that a cable in their machine was loose and the previous results were not recreated after adjustment. While this incident alone does not prove an attempt to protect Einstein's legacy, fear within the scientific community of losing grants in resource-starved physics research by making discoveries financial and political kingmakers do not like should not be dismissed either.
Today, Albert Einstein's reputation as the smartest man who ever lived is bolstered by a seemingly infinite number of books, TV shows, and movies celebrating his life and supposed achievements - far more than any other scientist in history. Jews excel in physics on paper but it was Einstein's "common sense" oriented scientific opponents in the Third Reich that first developed the rocket technology that allowed us to reach space.
While this author is out of his element when it comes to the nuts and bolts of relativity, one looks at the Jewish spirit's replacement of reason and intuition with abstraction and relativism in other fields like the arts, anthropology, culture of critique or music, and questions should arise regarding whether Einstein's similar approach towards Physics has been more of a retarding arbitrary rule scientists are pressured to work within the confines of rather than the groundbreaking accomplishment we are expected to take for granted.
Would this supposed "consensus" still be so if Germany had won the Second World War and science was freed of top-down Jewish pressure from people like Bret Stephens?
It is generally assumed that the hard sciences are free from political ideology, but challenging the Einstein myth provokes the same institutional reaction as James Watson affirming the biology of race (outside of the Jewish superiority context Bret Stephens and the New York Times has deemed appropriate). We are convinced that Jews are our masters only because celebrating the group-achievements of far more accomplished Europeans is forbidden by the establishment.
The brilliance of the plagiarist Einstein embodies the nature of Stephens' broader patronizing claims of born-to-rule Jewish excellence: it may look like a diamond, but it's synthetic like a cubic zirconia.

russiainsider--2020-01-25--- Monday Is Holocaust Remembrance Day! Get the Real Facts About the Great Hoax at Jan27.org

Time once again to remember what the 'Holocaust ' is really for : to give a free pass to Jewish supremacy everywhere in the world !
ON MONDAY , JANUARY 27 , THE MEDIA WILL ONCE AGAIN play up the United Nations-created “ International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust ” , commonly known as Holocaust Remembrance Day .
This will be only the 15th anniversary of this commemoration , but the 75th anniversary of what it specifically commemorates – the day the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was `` liberated '' by the Soviet Red Army @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to jan27.org beginning on Thursday the 23rd to see the new articles presented there `` in Honor of the Revisionists Who Introduced Sanity to the Auschwitz 'Death Camp ' Narrative.
” Support Revisionism !
There are innumerable reasons why it is in your own interests to do so .
For example : Three years ago , in May 2017 , I put up a very important post , as it turned out , warning about the IHRA – the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance – and explained why it was dangerous .
It would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at this time [ and also here and here ] .
What follows is the part about the IHRA that appeared at the end : Then there 's the latest new definition of antisemitism that is being pushed on everyone.
-- this one put out by an organization called the 'International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance . '
This is a globalist group that started up in Sweden ( ostensibly ) in 1998 , for the purpose of “ expanding Holocaust education worldwide.
” This is their non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews .
Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property , toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
” Does this clarify anything ?
No , it does not .
What is it 's purpose ?
I do n't know but it is currently being pushed in the UK with the help of the Board of Deputies of British Jews .
It goes on to explain : Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country can not be regarded as antisemitic .
Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity , and it is often used to blame Jews for “ why things go wrong.

Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries .
Just this month , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public statement condemning an incident of Holocaust denial -- in late April Bernard Brščič `` denied the Holocaust '' in a TV interview .
Oh , horrors .
The delegations are generally made up of Jews and this is the kind of reporting they do .
Most recently , the University and College Union ( UCU ) decided at its annual congress to spurn the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ’ s ( IHRA ) definition of antisemitism as “ retrograde , ” “ deeply disappointing ” and “ disgraceful.
” The UCU motion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ definition conflates anti-semitism with criticism of the state of Israel and has been used to intimidate academics who are engaged in activities that are critical of the policies of the Israeli government but that are not anti-semitic.
” Another criticism was that the definition encourages the banning of speakers who are opposed to the policies of the state of Israel but who have not in any way expressed racism against Jewish people.
” In 2011 , the UCU also rejected the definition of antisemitism proposed by the European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IHRA , considers forms of anti-Zionism to be antisemitic .
So the Jews keep trying to get everyone to sign on to a universal agreement on antisemitism that can be used as the basis for uniform laws under which offenders can be prosecuted .
It 's all about their enforcement powers .
And the fact is , they keep gaining ground , little by little , in spite of the clearly anti-democratic nature of what they 're doing .
The way to stop them is to bring down the hoax of the holocaust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the basis for all their claims against European society .
( May , 2017 ) “ The fact is , they keep gaining ground , little by little.
” !
!
That 's one of the secrets to Jewish success .
Beginning in 1998 with only a few states signing on , twenty-two years later the IHRC boasts 34 countries whose governments , without a vote of their people , have adopted the IHRC definition of antisemitism and committed them to enforcing laws against it .
Above is a photo of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faces .
Do you see any brown or black faces there ?
No , the IHRC only goes after Europeans because they use guilt over 'Nazi ' concentration camps to pull us into their scheme .
This news release is disseminated by the AIJAC ( Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council ) which , like all Jewish organizations , pushes the IHRC in every way it can .
It boasts that the 34 national representatives pledged “ to the victims and survivors that they shall never be forgotten and that their legacy will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promised to promote Holocaust education , safeguard the historical record of the Holocaust and continue efforts to hold significant Holocaust commemorations .
The conference acknowledged “ the ongoing battle against global antisemitism [ is ] from the left and the right . ''
The delegates signed on to an `` acceptance of responsibility as governments to continue working together to counter Holocaust denial and distortion , antisemitism , and all forms of racism and discrimination that undermine fundamental democratic principles ” .
In true trickster fashion , holocaust denial , and what they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and anti-democracy .
It removes the right of scholars and other researchers to openly study the basis on which the Holocaust was formed !
To even question their enforced version of historical events is viewed as anti-democratic , and pure 'hate ' .
However , it is the IHRA that demonstrates tyrannical authoritarism and anti-democracy in plain sight .
Everyone can see that , if they are given the chance to see it .
Giving you that chance is the purpose of the work at Jan27.org .

Time once again to remember what the 'Holocaust' is really for: to give a free pass to Jewish supremacy everywhere in the world!
ON MONDAY, JANUARY 27, THE MEDIA WILL ONCE AGAIN play up the United Nations-created “International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust”, commonly known as Holocaust Remembrance Day. This will be only the 15th anniversary of this commemoration, but the 75th anniversary of what it specifically commemorates – the day the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was "liberated" by the Soviet Red Army.
I heartily encourage you to go to jan27.org beginning on Thursday the 23rd to see the new articles presented there "in Honor of the Revisionists Who Introduced Sanity to the Auschwitz 'Death Camp' Narrative.” Support Revisionism! There are innumerable reasons why it is in your own interests to do so. For example:
Three years ago, in May 2017, I put up a very important post, as it turned out, warning about the IHRA – the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance – and explained why it was dangerous. It would be well to re-read the whole post at this time [and also here and here]. What follows is the part about the IHRA that appeared at the end:
IHRA working definition of antisemitism being pushed
Then there's the latest new definition of antisemitism that is being pushed on everyone.-- this one put out by an organization called the 'International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.' This is a globalist group that started up in Sweden (ostensibly) in 1998, for the purpose of “expanding Holocaust education worldwide.” This is their non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism:
“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Does this clarify anything? No, it does not. What is it's purpose? I don't know but it is currently being pushed in the UK with the help of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. It goes on to explain:
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.
Further specific definitions include:
Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.
Just this month, the Slovenian delegation to the IHRA issued a public statement condemning an incident of Holocaust denial -- in late April Bernard Brščič "denied the Holocaust" in a TV interview. Oh, horrors. The delegations are generally made up of Jews and this is the kind of reporting they do.
When organizations resist
Most recently, the University and College Union (UCU) decided at its annual congress to spurn the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism as “retrograde,” “deeply disappointing” and “disgraceful.”
The UCU motion stated that the “[IHRA] definition conflates anti-semitism with criticism of the state of Israel and has been used to intimidate academics who are engaged in activities that are critical of the policies of the Israeli government but that are not anti-semitic.”
Another criticism was that the definition encourages the banning of speakers who are opposed to the policies of the state of Israel but who have not in any way expressed racism against Jewish people.”
In 2011, the UCU also rejected the definition of antisemitism proposed by the European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, which, like the IHRA, considers forms of anti-Zionism to be antisemitic.
So the Jews keep trying to get everyone to sign on to a universal agreement on antisemitism that can be used as the basis for uniform laws under which offenders can be prosecuted. It's all about their enforcement powers. And the fact is, they keep gaining ground, little by little, in spite of the clearly anti-democratic nature of what they're doing. The way to stop them is to bring down the hoax of the holocaust because it, and it alone, is the basis for all their claims against European society. (May, 2017)
Delegates at the IHRA Ministerial Meeting 2020 in Brussels.
“The fact is, they keep gaining ground, little by little.” !! That's one of the secrets to Jewish success. Beginning in 1998 with only a few states signing on, twenty-two years later the IHRC boasts 34 countries whose governments, without a vote of their people, have adopted the IHRC definition of antisemitism and committed them to enforcing laws against it. Above is a photo of the current representatives, over 40 faces—all white faces. Do you see any brown or black faces there? No, the IHRC only goes after Europeans because they use guilt over 'Nazi' concentration camps to pull us into their scheme.
This news release is disseminated by the AIJAC (Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council) which, like all Jewish organizations, pushes the IHRC in every way it can. It boasts that the 34 national representatives pledged “to the victims and survivors that they shall never be forgotten and that their legacy will be kept alive”.
Representatives also promised to promote Holocaust education, safeguard the historical record of the Holocaust and continue efforts to hold significant Holocaust commemorations.
The conference acknowledged “the ongoing battle against global antisemitism [is] from the left and the right." The delegates signed on to an "acceptance of responsibility as governments to continue working together to counter Holocaust denial and distortion, antisemitism, and all forms of racism and discrimination that undermine fundamental democratic principles”. In true trickster fashion, holocaust denial, and what they call distortion, is conflated with racism and anti-democracy.
It removes the right of scholars and other researchers to openly study the basis on which the Holocaust was formed! To even question their enforced version of historical events is viewed as anti-democratic, and pure 'hate'. However, it is the IHRA that demonstrates tyrannical authoritarism and anti-democracy in plain sight. Everyone can see that, if they are given the chance to see it. Giving you that chance is the purpose of the work at Jan27.org.


russiainsider--2020-01-24--Mike Walsh - Poles Turn up the Heat, Demand Russia Return Art Looted in WW2

Interesting point , if Russia did loot art from Poland , does n't that negate Allied claims that Germany looted art from Poland , something Germany emphatically denied at the time ?
How could there have been anything left for the Russians to loot ?
Bolstered by American aid , the USSR was assured of victory over the Third Reich .
As early as February 1943 , the Soviets established the Trophy Brigades .
Their purpose was to join in the ransacking and share with the Allies the spoils of war .
Every German home and office , thousands of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , millions of captive slaves became a prize of war .

According to the ministry , Polish culture “ suffered huge losses ” due to the actions of the Soviet authorities .
A reader makes a good point : This quashes the lie that Germany looted every country they occupied .
That there were art works still in Poland for the Russians to steal .
The list includes paintings : Madonna and Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder from Głogów ’ s church , Madonna and Child with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unknown artist of the 16th century , Girl with a Pigeon by Antoine Pesne , Bird Courtyard by Daniel Schulz , Portrait of Johann von Schwarzwaldt by Hans Holbein , Forest Landscape by Jan Brueghel the Elder , Diptych of Winter Fields by a Dutch artist of the 15th century ( they are all from the collection of the city ’ s museum in Gdansk ) .
A statement by the Polish Foreign Ministry said that “ special units of the NKVD plundered valuable works of Polish art , many of which are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the NKVD repeatedly destroyed and confiscated , ” the Foreign Ministry added .

This article was submitted to us by a Swedish author, who has also written an important book (in English), about the bloody disaster that has ben the result of Jewish power over the last 100 years. ”They created a Bloody 20th Century.” An ad with a link to the book is in the text of this article. Mr. Myrebro's English is not fluent, but we left it the way it is, because it conveys authenticity, showing that all over the world people are waking up to the unpleasant truth.
Ones upon a time there happening a big catastrophic in Germany during this continuoes civil war. Yes civil war because the jewish population had already in March 1933 declared war against their homeland Germany. And at this international jewish conference in Amsterdam, it was clear declared: ”Judea declared war on Germany,” and our interest is that Germany will be totally destroyed.” This goal-direction from the jewish side has never been changed.
Partly it can describe why some concentration camps were build up in late 1930th for to protect the establishment from ill-minded people, and that repeated demands from jews for the destruction of Germany forced this genocide leading to between 200-300.000 jews was killed in what they called a holocaust.
Now this time is gone and is not of any value for a memory that jews cleaned the road for there own disaster. That because they had already from 1919, without reason, established a deadly threat against Germany.
So let´s talk about this holocaust or genocide which now took part in Yemen and now is in its sixth year. That is a mega-holocaust and we talk about milions dead and 20 million people starving to death.
What are the difference between this, small in camparision with others, for example, the Gulag, and this mega-holocaust going on in Yemen? This so-called holocaust in Germany during WWII was an act directed against a Zionistic group that willingly worked for the destruction of Germany. Victims from this genocide have day after day become glorified and honored in media. But Germany had during the seventy years had to pay enormous sums to jews as guilt for something they didn´t ask for.
Concerning Yemen´s situation in realtime the situation is the opposite. Yemen´s people have never threatened the USA or planed something bad against his country, never. And the war which now takes part in this pour country has no character of a civil war – its a proxy war from the beginning in which the USA, Saudi, and UAE have taken a central part. Bombing and destroying harbors, bridges, schools, warehouses, and hospitals and have been mainly aggression strategies. With the help of radar systems from Sweden, their bomb raids have been very effective – the latest hospital now according to information is destroyed. For this, the starving and destroying alliance have used many weapons, especially bombs. And this arsenal the USA without doubts have provided the alliance with.
The jews in Germany find out how to punish this country with enormous demands for compensation after the war – but the assaulted and starved people in Yemen have no reason to dream about any compensation from the USA, Saudi or UAE. They can just hope that they will stop blocking their harbors. That´ s the difference.
Last year in April Donald Trump could stop the genocide in Yemen. The congress had approved resolution S. J. Res. 7 which was an anti-war resolution aimed to end USA powerful support for the Saudi coalition whose goal was a totally destroying of Yemen.
But President Trump had no interest in stopping killing children and women by bombing schools and hospitals. He laid a veto against the congress resolution to stop it. His motivation was that this resolution was: ” a dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities.” So Trump´s gigantic authorities will now be confirmed by slaughtering thousands and millions of innocent people – and the war continues thanks to USA´s President.
A typical scene in Yemen
That means that it must be a tasteless and unsmart act to take part in remembrance of a holocaust i Germany ca; 80 years ago, and at the same time hidden and forgot this big holocaust in our time, directed to innocent and crying people. This is a bad result of a mainstream agenda.
Six million victims in a german holocaust during WWII is a fantasy sum. But these six million victims start to be a realistic number now in Yemen – thanks to USA. Then you shall remember that the USA makes nothing in this way without the order from Israel.
More about different genocides caused by jewish power you will find in my book, ”They created a Bloody 20th Century.”

The communication between famous people and saints is always very intense, fruitful, devoid of an empty exchange of courtesies and secular falsehood. Inside this dialogue, not only issues of a spiritual nature were resolved: there was a joint creative search, new discoveries, and a rethinking of familiar values.
Saint Ambrose of Optina and Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
From the memoirs of Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya, the writer’s wife: “Fyodor Mikhailovich went to see the doctor, came back terribly pale and knelt beside the sofa on which we laid the baby. I also knelt down next to my husband. How terrible my despair was when suddenly the baby’s breathing stopped and death came…
Fyodor Mikhailovich kissed the baby, put the sign of cross on him thrice and burst into tears. I also was crying”. In May 1878, Dostoevsky buried his young son Alexey. Terrible grief literally crushed the writer. Totally exhausted, he decides to visit Optina Pustyn hoping to find solace here and learn how to live on.
Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya
June 25. The writer just states briefly in a letter: “We spent two days in Optina Pustyn. Then we went back on the same horses …” Details of the visit to the monastery can be restored indirectly.
The writer’s wife writes that Dostoevsky met with the famous elder – Saint Ambrose of Optina – thrice. She also reveals what the writer and the saint were talking about:
“When Fyodor Mikhailovich told the elder about the misfortune that had befallen us and my grief too violently manifested, the elder asked him if I was a believer, and when Fyodor Mikhailovich answered positively, he asked him to pass on his blessing to me, as well as those words that were said to the saddened mother later by elder Zosima in the novel…”
Indeed, later, in the 1906 edition of The Karamazov Brothers, Anna Grigoryevna, on the sidelines of the Peasant Women Who Have Faith chapter, directly compared the words of elder Zosima with what Saint Ambrose told her husband.
Perhaps the most comprehensive, albeit extremely brief testimony of the communication between Dostoevsky and the saint was left by E.N. Poselyanin, the spiritual child of the Optina elder.
In the book “Useful for the Soul Reading”, he conveys one phrase that the saint said after the writer came out of his cell: “He is repenting”. The saint speaks of genius with the highest spiritual “praise.”
Optina Pustyn
This meeting is the result of a long and painful search of Dostoevsky. Overcoming personal tragedy – the death of his son – the writer in his latest novel, The Brothers Karamazov, draws a line to his creative and personal path, not without influence of what he felt in Optina Pustyn and what he saw in Saint Ambrose. Communication between celebrity and the saint has become more than just a private page in the life of Dostoevsky. It also symbolized something more global: a meeting of the intelligentsia and the Church.

Andrew Anglin - Russia Can Win the Propaganda War: Stronger Defense of Christian Values Will Defeat Globohomo

In late December , Putin announced that Russia is ahead of the US in hypersonic missle technology .
What we have to ask is : are futuristic military weapons even relevant anymore ?
Right now , it appears to me that all global power gains are being made using psychological warfare .
In particular , the US has gotten really good at using internet media to stir up populations into rioting against their own governments , and then using Western media to back up the fake revolutionaries as fighters for freedom and democracy .
The US has organized revolutions to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ ve taken both Georgia and the Ukraine .
Now there are people rioting in Belarus .
Russia appears to have absolutely zero ability to counter any of this .
This is probably because the US currently has an ideology that it is pushing : anal sex and tattoos .
Russia , which used to have communism , does not currently have a clear ideology to sell to the world .
The obvious thing for Russia to do would be to push traditional Christianity and traditional Christian values as a counter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the universe to that being presented by the West .
I don ’ t really understand why they ’ re not doing this .
It just seems so obvious .
During the revolution in the Ukraine , it would have been very easy to have the Russian-backed establishment – that got overthrown – represent Christianity against the Western values of gay sex .
They would have gotten a lot more support .
As it stood , the president who was overthrown represented nothing at all other than “ Russia ” in a vague @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethnicity and linguistic identity .
Of course , the Ukraine ended up with gay sex parades immediately after the revolution .
If the population had known that “ anti-Russia ” means “ gay sex parades , ” they probably would have been much less comfortable with the revolution .
There ’ s also the whole “ immigrant flood ” issue , which is a massive cultural dividing line .
And everyone is aware that Russia isn ’ t allowing itself to be buried in refugees , but Russia never makes it a point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stage .
I mean – they do have this value system .
It is both “ the last Christian country ” and “ the last white country ” in many senses ( yes , you have Poland and Hungary , but they ’ re already in the EU and it ’ s only a matter of time before they go full anal/Islam ) .
Why they don ’ t market themselves as this , I just can not really grasp .
It is definitely amazing that Russia , still a relatively poor country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ West , and is actually still recovering from the fall of the Soviet Union , was able to pull ahead of the US in terms of development of military technology .
I don ’ t mean to try to negate that massive accomplishment .
But I do wish that Russia would be more aware of the development of this new battlefield that has emerged over the last 15 years , which is an ideological battlefield .
If they got into the game , it wouldn ’ t be hard to win it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be everything to everyone .
They promote radical Islam in the Middle East , they promote neo-Nazism in the Ukraine , they promote British imperialism ( I guess ) in Hong Kong .
If Russia took a hard stance as a defender of the traditional values of Europe on the global stage , it would be the perfect counter to all of this .
An amazing and historical thing happened in 2015 , when Angela Merkel was flooding Germany with Moslem rape gangs : people marching against the invasion broke out with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Merkel to Siberia.

In particular, the US has gotten really good at using internet media to stir up populations into rioting against their own governments, and then using Western media to back up the fake revolutionaries as fighters for freedom and democracy.
The US has organized revolutions to take over huge parts of Russian territory.
They’ve taken both Georgia and the Ukraine. Now there are people rioting in Belarus.
And in Moscow.

Eric Striker - ADL and SPLC Target Random Whites with Fake Accusations of 'Hate!': The Poor, Children and the Elderly

The silence of conservative , philo-semitic accomplices like The Daily Caller and Breitbart has kept many Americans ignorant about the out-of-control trend of convicting random whites of `` hate crimes '' where there is neither `` hate '' nor crime .
Hate crime numbers have been stagnant over the last few years .
White people in particular are heavily underrepresented in this field , committing only about 25 % of all hate crimes per year .
High profile hoaxes , from the wave of bomb threats to Jewish centers to Jussie Smollett , have severely undermined the fictitious narrative intended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Israel and globalization .
The challenge Zionist organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have before them is figuring out how to fully suppress the continued rise of a young , white , politically incorrect and largely law-abiding counter-culture after more passive means of shutting down political speech ( ostracization , doxing , anarchist paramilitary violence , surveillance , subversion ) have failed .
The real agenda is to instate policies that would make it dangerous and expensive for white people to participate in conversations about the direction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ADL 's Jonathan Greenblatt is deploying seeks to blur the line between Constitutionally protected speech and crime , knowing that the ACLU will never defend an accused white `` racist '' in this gray minefield .
The goal is to conflate speech with violence , an unpopular idea that just a few years ago was limited to campus extremists but is now elite consensus .
`` Data drives policy '' Greenblatt said last June in regards to hate crime statistics .
Organized Jewry , in fear of losing their cultural and financial stranglehold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pressure a large network of career oriented politicians , activists and law enforcement figures to manufacture the `` data '' they otherwise lack .
There is a small circle of people who claim engaging in nationalist resistance has `` ruined their life , '' but the reality is that all whites - political or not - can be targeted by the system , tried by the media , and convicted in kangaroo courts .
The silence of conservative accomplices like The Daily Caller and Breitbart as this happens has kept many Americans ignorant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whites of `` hate crimes '' where there is neither `` hate '' nor crime .
The recent hate crime conviction of Timothy Trybus by a disproportionately Jewish jury in Skokie , Illinois has not been covered at all by Breitbart .
Trybus was accused and convicted of non-violently expressing views common in Breitbart 's own comment section .
He is facing a potential sentence of 3-5 years !
In New York , an 11-year-old white girl is being charged with third degree assault as a hate crime after winning a school bus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other white people , including the bus monitor , are also being charged despite no involvement .
Governor Andrew Cuomo has predictably weighed in to support the witch hunt , even as child behavioral experts warn that trying pre-pubescent children like they 're adult criminals is a dangerous and cruel precedent that ruins their lives .
In Florida , the FBI has utilized a number of rarely-used statutes to selectively prosecute Daniel McMahon , a blogger who exposes criminal activity by supporters of Antifa , for `` hate crimes . ''
A court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cullen 's demand that McMahon be denied bond in spite of the non-violent nature of his charges and lack of criminal history because he once coined the term `` diversity of tactics . ''
This was obvious satire of Antifa discourse that is never treated as criminal .
In Illinois , a teenage boy named Jeremy C. Lloyd was filmed being jumped by a group of black kids as he tried to get away .
During the fight , Lloyd slashed one of the attackers on the knee with a razor blade in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mob , Dekalb prosecutor Rick Amato is charging Lloyd with a `` hate crime '' because he allegedly used a racial slur as he was being brutalized !
In the same county , a 78-year-old white grandma is being charged with a hate crime for saying `` you people ... '' to a non-white who cut her off in traffic .
The volume of cases like this is too high to document here .
Anti-white prosecutors are capitalizing on the chaotic post-truth political climate and lack of organized white advocates to stack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the poor and the elderly for incidents that previously would maybe get you a ticket from a particularly zealous cop , if anything at all .
As this is happening , white people are being murdered at random across the country by non-white criminals `` playing '' the knockout `` game . ''
Hate crime charges are seldom if ever used in these cases .
The black teenagers who recently killed a 59-year-old man in Frederick County , Maryland are only being charged with first and second degree assault .
Journalist Colin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are far more likely to be a victim than a perpetrator , but these facts are never factored into the equation by policy makers .
While it is tempting to blame blacks alone for this injustice , politically they are powerless .
It is important to keep in mind that it is Zionist entities like the ADL who have designed these anti-white legal mazes and imposed them on the nation from their perches in Washington and New York .
White advocacy , particularly legal advocacy , is vital to support .
This tendency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across the country are rewarded with good publicity from the ADL affiliates in the Jewish media and continue to get away with their racially discriminatory actions .

The silence of conservative, philo-semitic accomplices like The Daily Caller and Breitbart has kept many Americans ignorant about the out-of-control trend of convicting random whites of "hate crimes" where there is neither "hate" nor crime.
Hate crime numbers have been stagnant over the last few years. White people in particular are heavily underrepresented in this field, committing only about 25% of all hate crimes per year. High profile hoaxes, from the wave of bomb threats to Jewish centers to Jussie Smollett, have severely undermined the fictitious narrative intended to stifle discussions on immigration, finance, Israel and globalization.
The challenge Zionist organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have before them is figuring out how to fully suppress the continued rise of a young, white, politically incorrect and largely law-abiding counter-culture after more passive means of shutting down political speech (ostracization, doxing, anarchist paramilitary violence, surveillance, subversion) have failed. The real agenda is to instate policies that would make it dangerous and expensive for white people to participate in conversations about the direction of our country.
The ADL's Grand Inquisitor, Jonathan Greenblatt
The strategy the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt is deploying seeks to blur the line between Constitutionally protected speech and crime, knowing that the ACLU will never defend an accused white "racist" in this gray minefield. The goal is to conflate speech with violence, an unpopular idea that just a few years ago was limited to campus extremists but is now elite consensus.
"Data drives policy" Greenblatt said last June in regards to hate crime statistics. Organized Jewry, in fear of losing their cultural and financial stranglehold over America, has set out to pressure a large network of career oriented politicians, activists and law enforcement figures to manufacture the "data" they otherwise lack.
Whites Under Siege
There is a small circle of people who claim engaging in nationalist resistance has "ruined their life," but the reality is that all whites - political or not - can be targeted by the system, tried by the media, and convicted in kangaroo courts.
The silence of conservative accomplices like The Daily Caller and Breitbart as this happens has kept many Americans ignorant about the out-of-control trend of convicting random whites of "hate crimes" where there is neither "hate" nor crime.
The recent hate crime conviction of Timothy Trybus by a disproportionately Jewish jury in Skokie, Illinois has not been covered at all by Breitbart. Trybus was accused and convicted of non-violently expressing views common in Breitbart's own comment section. He is facing a potential sentence of 3-5 years!
In New York, an 11-year-old white girl is being charged with third degree assault as a hate crime after winning a school bus fight against a black girl. Multiple other white people, including the bus monitor, are also being charged despite no involvement. Governor Andrew Cuomo has predictably weighed in to support the witch hunt, even as child behavioral experts warn that trying pre-pubescent children like they're adult criminals is a dangerous and cruel precedent that ruins their lives.
In Florida, the FBI has utilized a number of rarely-used statutes to selectively prosecute Daniel McMahon, a blogger who exposes criminal activity by supporters of Antifa, for "hate crimes." A court in Tampa acquiesced to US Attorney Thomas Cullen's demand that McMahon be denied bond in spite of the non-violent nature of his charges and lack of criminal history because he once coined the term "diversity of tactics." This was obvious satire of Antifa discourse that is never treated as criminal.
In Illinois, a teenage boy named Jeremy C. Lloyd was filmed being jumped by a group of black kids as he tried to get away. During the fight, Lloyd slashed one of the attackers on the knee with a razor blade in order to escape. Instead of charging the mob, Dekalb prosecutor Rick Amato is charging Lloyd with a "hate crime" because he allegedly used a racial slur as he was being brutalized!
In the same county, a 78-year-old white grandma is being charged with a hate crime for saying "you people..." to a non-white who cut her off in traffic.
The volume of cases like this is too high to document here. Anti-white prosecutors are capitalizing on the chaotic post-truth political climate and lack of organized white advocates to stack serious politically motivated criminal charges on children, the poor and the elderly for incidents that previously would maybe get you a ticket from a particularly zealous cop, if anything at all.
As this is happening, white people are being murdered at random across the country by non-white criminals "playing" the knockout "game." Hate crime charges are seldom if ever used in these cases. The black teenagers who recently killed a 59-year-old man in Frederick County, Maryland are only being charged with first and second degree assault.
Journalist Colin Flaherty meticulously documents interracial crime. Whites are far more likely to be a victim than a perpetrator, but these facts are never factored into the equation by policy makers.
While it is tempting to blame blacks alone for this injustice, politically they are powerless. It is important to keep in mind that it is Zionist entities like the ADL who have designed these anti-white legal mazes and imposed them on the nation from their perches in Washington and New York.
White advocacy, particularly legal advocacy, is vital to support. This tendency will only become more egregious as prosecutors across the country are rewarded with good publicity from the ADL affiliates in the Jewish media and continue to get away with their racially discriminatory actions.

John Hudson - Trump Threatened Euro-Poodles With 25% Car Tarrifs If They Didn’t Blow Up the Iran Nuclear Treaty

Editor ’ s note : The “ best ” part about this story are the European assurances that the threat was unnecessary and shocking because they know their place and were going to do the poodle thing anyway .
A week before Germany , France and Britain formally accused Iran of breaching the 2015 nuclear deal , the Trump administration issued a private threat to the Europeans that shocked officials in all three countries .
If they refused to call out Tehran and initiate an arcane dispute mechanism in the deal , the United States would impose a 25 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials warned , according to European officials familiar with the conversations .
Within days , the three countries would formally accuse Iran of violating the deal , triggering a recourse provision that could reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran and unravel the last remaining vestiges of the Obama-era agreement.The U.S. effort to coerce European foreign policy through tariffs , a move one European official equated to “ extortion , ” represents a new level of hardball tactics with the United States ’ oldest allies , underscoring the extraordinary tumult in the transatlantic relationship.President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 25 percent tariff on automobiles to win more-favorable terms in the country ’ s trade relationship with the Europeans , but not to dictate the continent ’ s foreign policy.It remains unclear if the threat was even necessary , as Europeans had been signaling their intention to trigger the dispute resolution for weeks .
While the United States views the mechanism as critical to reimposing sanctions on Iran in as little as 65 days , the Europeans see the measure as a last chance to salvage a deal they view as vital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s nuclear program.
“ The tariff threat is a mafia-like tactic , and it ’ s not how relations between allies typically work , ” said Jeremy Shapiro , research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations .
When asked about the tariff warning , a senior U.S. official said , “ We ’ ve been very clear that the JCPOA was a horrible deal , ” referring to the Iran nuclear deal .
The U.S. official conceded that Europeans were already moving toward triggering the dispute resolution before the threat was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among the Europeans about the need to hold Tehran accountable took form weeks ago and was driven by Iran ’ s escalatory behavior and violations of the nuclear deal , ” the official said .
European officials complained privately that Trump ’ s threat only complicated their decision Tuesday to invoke the mechanism , which starts the clock on 65 days of negotiations with Iran about returning to full compliance with the deal .
If the dispute isn ’ t settled , U.N. sanctions could be reimposed on Iran , including a blanket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ France and Germany say that they had planned to initiate the mechanism but that Trump ’ s threat nearly caused them to backtrack , out of concern that they could be viewed as stooges of Washington if word of the threat leaked .
“ We didn ’ t want to look weak , so we agreed to keep the existence of the threat a secret , ” a European official said .
U.S. officials conveyed the threat directly to officials in London , Paris and Berlin rather than through their embassies in Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations .
Following the U.S. killing of Iran ’ s top commander , Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani , Iran said it was no longer bound by the limitations of the deal but would continue to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency .
In the absence of a deal , Trump administration officials have struggled to explain how they will prevent Iran from getting closer to a nuclear weapon as it expands its enrichment of uranium .
Trump , however , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that to happen .
“ IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON !
” he tweeted last week .
Major difficulties in the transatlantic relationship began after Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Iran that had been lifted in exchange for limitations on its nuclear program .
The Europeans remained in the deal , noting that Iran had continued to comply with its side of the agreement according to the International Atomic Energy Agency .
Last year , Iran began taking gradual steps to exceed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europeans to make good on their promises of sanctions relief .
The 2015 agreement limited the number of centrifuges Iran could deploy for uranium enrichment and restricted how much uranium it could stockpile , among other requirements .
In a joint statement Tuesday , Britain , France and Germany initiated the dispute mechanism , saying they did so “ in good faith , with the overarching objective of preserving the JCPOA and in the sincere hope of finding a way forward through constructive diplomatic dialogue.
” The nations also distanced themselves from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” campaign and said they opposed the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement in 2018 .
“ Our hope is to bring Iran back into full compliance , ” they said .
Some supporters of the Iran nuclear deal believe the Europeans made a mistake in triggering the mechanism Tuesday even if their intention was to preserve the accord .

Following the Europeans ’ announcement Tuesday , the State Department praised the triggering of the mechanism , saying “ we fully support the decision.
