Yom Kippur – on a Personal Note

Posted on September 30, 2025 by jewamongyou

I was at a supermarket today (yesterday) and noticed a young woman also shopping. From her appearance, and the way she was dressed, I strongly suspected she’s Jewish. There aren’t many Jews in this part of Dominican Republic. When I see one, I try to say hello. It’s mostly secular Israelis I encounter. This woman is religious. I figured she’s married to one of the Lubavitcher rabbis in town.

I said something to her in Hebrew, and she quickly responded. We chatted, and it turned out I was right; she is married to a local Lubavitcher rabbi.

Perhaps I should recap my own history with Judaism and with Lubavitch Hassidism. I became religious at 15, and a while later I was taken in by Lubavitch in a somewhat nearby city. I lived in their facility for a couple of years, finishing high school. After that, I moved across the country to a yeshiva (a Jewish rabbinical school) in New Jersey. The yeshiva was run by Lubavitch. During my time there, I realized that the Lubavitcher version of Judaism wasn’t for me. I moved to Israel and remained Orthodox, but not Lubavitch for many years. I drifted away from religious observance about 25 years ago.

The woman mentioned to me that tomorrow (today) is Yom Kippur. This is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and fasting is mandated by the Torah. It’s the only day of the year that the Torah obligates us to fast – but I don’t fast; I’m not religious anymore…

… and yet I’d rather not know exactly which day Yom Kippur falls on until after it’s passed; otherwise, I feel guilty eating. Religion does that to a person, even years after becoming secular.

Shortly after falling asleep, I had a nightmare. I was in a bus in what looked like Jerusalem, Israel. Shortly before my stop, I saw a tiny little girl crying in the middle of the street. No adults were around her, and traffic was whizzing by her. Nobody paid her any notice. I was horrified and yelled at the bus driver to stop the bus; I needed to rush out to comfort the little girl and help her get to safety. I woke up shaken. I was tormented and troubled.

It took me a while to figure out that the little girl is my soul. It still feels lost without the shelter of Judaism. Religion will do that to a person; I don’t think a person ever truly gets over it.

I’m not against religion. I think it’s necessary for a functional society in most cases. Societies that abandon religion stop having babies or they adopt some sort of secular religion, such as Communism or Wokism.

It must be especially difficult for ex-Muslims, considering the hold Islam has on so much of the world and how pervasive it’s becoming everywhere in the West. If there are any ex-Muslims reading this, I hope you take comfort in the fact that it’s not Allah who’s constantly calling you back into the fold. Rather, it’s something psychological that’s built into our very DNA. As for me, I find salvation in other, more fulfilling, ways than organized religion.

The little girl does have a home.

The Glaring Blind Spot of a Leftist Intellectual

Posted on August 8, 2025 by jewamongyou

I just spent a few minutes watching a YouTube video by a guy who comes across as very intelligent, but who leans left. It’s not a long video, so please watch it for yourself:

I spent quite a bit of time browsing the comments, and they all say essentially the same thing: “Brilliant video! Anybody who disagrees is a NAZI!”

I guess I’m a Nazi then. Here’s my comment:

Your reasoning only applies to the state of being a homosexual, which a person has no control over. However, the ACT of homosexual relations does affect well-being. It most certainly does cause the spread of disease and certain health issues. AIDS, Monkey Pox and continency problems are examples linked to this practice. Therefore, by your own reasoning, it can be judged to be “immoral.” FURTHERMORE, you stated in another video that (paraphrasing here) sexual violence in video games is “immoral.” How so? In what way do such fantasies cause a detriment to wellbeing more so than homosexual sex. The opposite seems to be true.

Yes, he actually did make a video where he argued that sexual violence in video games is immoral – but not other kinds of violence. I objected to that too. In my view, fantasy cannot be, in and of itself, immoral. I don’t care how distasteful you think it is. your disgust doesn’t make someone else’s fantasy “immoral.”

Anyway, it’s extremely frustrating for me to see literally hundreds of people glossing over the distinction between sexual preference and an actual sexual act. One involves choice while the other arguable does not – and that’s a distinction the creator hinges his entire video upon!

Will anybody actually address my objection in comments? Probably not, partly because it’s a 7-year-old video, and partly because if those people are already so blind as to not see the issue initially, then nothing I say can change that; they’ll simply fling ad hominem attacks at me.

Perhaps, one could argue that people have no choice but to act upon their sexual preferences, that it’s unreasonable to expect them to refrain from sex their entire lives. Anybody making this argument would have to extend the same reasoning to pedophiles. I doubt they would do so. Also, difficult as it may seem, it is possible to be celibate one’s entire life. Therefore, it is a choice.

A New Product Idea: Underwater Cigarettes

Posted on July 26, 2025 by jewamongyou

I was chatting with a Canadian guy by the pool recently, and he was smoking Canadian cigarettes. They don’t smell as bad as American cigarettes. Some Canadian cigarettes have very little odor. Therefore, I was okay with sitting near him and socializing. Our conversation turned to snorkeling, and I suggested that we could develop a brand of cigarettes that can be smoked underwater. I’m known for my brilliant ideas.

With the help of Grok, I came up with a brand name and some advertising ideas. The brand would be called DeepDraws. Our typical customer could be described thusly:

People who might smoke DeepDraws are likely a mix of adventurous, independent, risk-taking, and non-conformist personalities. They’re the type who thrive on exploring the unknown—think divers or travelers who seek out unique experiences, like smoking underwater. Their independence shines through in their willingness to break from convention, enjoying something as unconventional as DeepDraws suggests. Risk-takers at heart, they embrace the challenge and novelty, while their non-conformist streak sets them apart from the crowd, valuing personal expression over societal norms.

Here are some advertising images that Grok came up with:

Now that we have some general marketing ideas, all that remains is the very minor issue of developing the technology.

Along similar lines, we should also market treadmills that are equipped with ashtrays. That way, smokers can more easily enjoy a few puffs while getting their workout.

A Dream I Had Last Night

Posted on July 23, 2025 by jewamongyou

Amren has officially announced this year’s conference. I saw this yesterday, and it triggered a dream. It’s a dream that highlights an inner conflict I’ve struggled with, and which I’ve touched on here.

I had a friend who’s been attending Amren conferences since they started. Like me, he’s Jewish. Obviously, like me, he’s pro-White. We would talk fairly regularly by phone and hang out together during the conferences – until one conference when I befriended Jason Kessler. He’s the man who organized the now infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. As its name implies, it was meant to bring various factions of “The Right” together to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. Unfortunately, it included neo-Nazis. Even more unfortunately, the grotesquely biased Charlottesville police department engineered confrontations between the participants and Antifa. As intended, this led to violence and the rally permit was revoked. Much has been written about this. Bottom line, the rally set back our cause quite a bit. Kessler, arguably, made some mistakes.

We all make mistakes. I think that his heart was in the right place, and he took our struggle to the streets. This is worthy of respect.

My guess is that my Jewish friend didn’t see it that way. He (apparently) broke off our friendship. Kessler was too cozy with antisemites. As far as I was concerned, if somebody respects me, knowing that I’m a Jew, then he can’t be much of an antisemite. If we have common cause, I’ll respect him back.

Edit: It turns out it was simply a misunderstanding. My “former friend” is still my friend; we had simply lost touch. I am, of course, very happy about this!

For personal reasons, I missed last year’s conference, and I’ll miss this one. I haven’t had to experience the awkwardness of seeing my former friend face to face. I do hope to attend next year.

In my dream, I was chatting with a close relative of my former friend, and this person was encouraging me to attend the upcoming conference. At some point, the former friend had to relay messages between us, which he did – but he refused to speak to me directly as my own person. When I tried confronting him about it, he ignored me. The rest of the dream is a blur, but I think I did end up attending the conference.

There’s a word for a person who befriends the enemies of his own people: Traitor. I don’t respect traitors. I don’t respect Jews who work against the Jewish people. I don’t respect Whites who work against the interests of White people. I don’t respect ANYBODY who works against the interests of his own people. If a nationality is flawed, then try to fix the flaws. We try to fix the flaws in our own children; we don’t usually hate them for the flaws.

Am I a traitor for my tolerance of antisemites? I don’t think so; I’m not encouraging the antisemitism, just pointing out that it’s largely provoked by Jewish antiwhitism. Trying to promote dialog is not the same as cavorting with the enemy.

Many, if not most, White-nationalists expect Jews to be traitors to our own people. They admire men like “Brother Nathanael ,” (thanks for the great write-up, Luke!) who spew venom against Jews at every opportunity. This is the wrong approach; it looks a bit like hypocrisy.

On this blog, and more recently on X, I defend the Jewish people (when warranted) and I defend Whites. I’ve defended men like Eric Aarvoll, who founded and runs RTTL (Return To The Land).

I just saw that he did a long interview with Nick Fuentes. I didn’t watch it. I found it disturbing, but not surprising. Maybe it’s not as bad as I think. I don’t think I can stomach two hours of Fuentes.

90% of the time, my support is not reciprocated. Typically, I’m ignored. Sometimes, I get responses such as this:

My former friend, and many others, would say, “Well DUH!! They’re neo-Nazis. Of course that’s how they’re going to react!”

To what extent is the pro-White movement infected with virulent antisemitism? It’s hard to say. Many people who should be considered “pro-White” distance themselves from the movement because of its association with antisemitism. It looks like the vast majority of publicly pro-White people are Jew-haters to one extent or another. Even Jason Köhne, who has made it very clear that he’s not “anti anybody,” has grown bitter toward Jews – and my assumption is that his bitterness is toward ORGANIZED Jewry such as the ADL (which has caused him a lot of grief). I’ve noticed that Köhne writes “jews” and “jewish” in lower-case. Jared Taylor, by no means an antisemite, has been tweeting news clips of obviously Jewish villains demonstrating their hatred against White people.

As they say, “it is what it is.” I’ve also been pointing out the Jewishness of those villains. Why? Because it upsets me and because I want people to know that I don’t consider those antiwhite Jews to be my brothers and sisters. I consider them to be vermin.

Does it bother me that my efforts are ignored by neo-Nazis? It shouldn’t. We shouldn’t seek the approval of those whose obsession in life is our extermination. On the other hand, it would be nice if some of them softened their stance and took a more reasonable approach.

As for Jason Kessler, he has softened his stance. I don’t know if I played a part in this or not. He’s a thoughtful man, so more likely, he simply realized how toxic and unhealthy it is to base one’s life upon the hatred of other human beings.

Will my former friend see the light and welcome me with open arms to next year’s Amren conference?

ADL Gets Slapped in the Face by its Own Policies

Posted on July 9, 2025 by jewamongyou

After decades of pushing hatred against the greatest allies of Jews and Israel, White Americans, the ADL is now SHOCKED that its own policies have brought about a rejection of Zionism. Most of the non-White world does not share Christian White Americans’ love for Jews and Israel. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that White-replacement polices, which the ADL has aggressively supported for years, have now led to the largest union in America, the National Education Association, to reject the ADL.

Nation’s Largest Union Severs Ties with ADL, Citing Group’s Weaponization of Anti-Semitism

A union representing millions of teachers is distancing itself from the Anti-Defamation League, claiming the organization has too broadly leveraged the label of anti-Semitism.

The action came Sunday, according to the New York Post, which noted the National Education Association is America’s largest union with more than 3 million members.

“Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes anti-Semitism would be like allowing the fossil-fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change,” NEA delegate Stephen Siegel said during the weekend meeting.

Siegel previously wanted the NEA to slam the Biden administration for supporting Israel during the war in Gaza that began after Gaza-based Hamas slaughtered Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023.

The teachers’ union dropped the ADL as an education partner, saying the ADL is too quick to label criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism…

The ADL called the vote “profoundly disturbing” and said that “NEA activists” were out to “further isolate their Jewish colleagues and push a radical, antisemitic agenda on students.”

“We will not be cowed for supporting Israel, and we will not be deterred from our work reaching millions of students with educational programs every year,” the ADL said.

Liora Rez, the founder of the group StopAntisemitism, said the NEA has left the mainstream behind.

“The most radical fringe has taken over the NEA and they actively promote bigotry against Jews and lies about the Jewish state. Rather than trying to educate our children, they want to indoctrinate them to hate each other,” Rez said.

While it’s unlikely that the National Education Association itself has demographically shifted as much as America as a whole, its members surely see themselves as now representing an increasingly non-White, non-Christian America – and its promotion of antiwhite material, over the past few years, is strong evidence that it prioritizes the views of non-White and non-Christian Americans. Since a majority of younger Americans fall into this category, we can see why this is so.

The ADL: “Let’s promote the replacement of White Christians with non-Whites and non-Christians!”

The NEA: “Wow! You’ve done a great job advancing this agenda. Thanks so much, ADL…”

The NEA: “By the way, this new demographic doesn’t give a shit about Jews or Israel, and we must reflect these attitudes in our policies going forward.”

The ADL: “That’s unacceptable and ANTISEMITIC!!”

If you Abuse the System, Don’t Complain When it gets Changed

Posted on June 30, 2025 by jewamongyou

I’m in the process of moving. It’s a policy of mine to consume, within reason, whatever food and drink I have available prior to the move. I’d rather carry it in my stomach, or as extra fat, than in a suitcase.

One of the items I chose to dispatch was an almost finished bottle of Haitian rum. Haiti may be a shithole, but they do make some fine rum. I found this out when a Haitian contractor invited me to try some last year.

Anyway, it put me in the mood to blog, and here I am…

Democrats are shrieking about the recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the power of district judges from interfering with presidential orders.

Conservatives and Trumpists are hailing the ruling as a huge win for America. The truth is more complicated. Some day, there will be another Democrat president – and he’ll be able to single-handedly destroy the country. For the time being, however, it’s a huge win.

Yes, Democrats are shrieking about this Supreme Court ruling, and they’re also shrieking about deportations of illegal immigrants, the arrest of judges and the Alex Padilla episode (where a Democrat senator was tackled while disrupting an event).

Democrats seem to have an endless store of rage at their disposal. They constantly claim that Trump “violates the Constitution” – the same Constitution they ignored during the Biden presidency. They rail against the violation of protocols and the disrespect for traditions.

At some level, they’re right. Trump, and the Supreme Court, are venturing into dangerous territory… but Democrats left no choice.

The way I see it, Democrats (AKA “socialists” and “Communists”) have figured out how to game the system to ensure their own victory. They opened the gates to millions of illegals in order to give themselves more electoral votes, they planted hundreds of activist judges so that those judges could thwart the will of the people, they prosecuted crimes selectively based on ideology and race…

… and then they have the audacity to complain when conservatives notice and tweak the system in order to prevent future abuses. If Democrats care so much about the rule of law and the Constitution, perhaps they should have avoided abusing them when they were in power. Had they refrained from abusing them, there would be no need to change them or reinterpret them now.

In conclusion, if you value a system, then don’t abuse it when given the opportunity. Of course, few Democrats value the system; they only “value” it to the extent that they can manipulate it for their own nefarious purposes.

MSN Takes Negrophilia to New Levels

Posted on June 30, 2025 by jewamongyou

An MSN article titled “Scientists discovered a 2000-year-old glassified human brain near Pompeii that was so well preserved they could perform a neurological study” consists of several slides we must click through in order to read. This is a common trick to get more “clicks” and, hence, more money.

Here’s the leading photo, the one readers see on MSN’s main page, which they must click to open the article:

I did post a comment on the article:

The AI moderator would not allow the first version of my comment, which had the word “scientist” in scare-quotes. I’m predicting that the newer version of my comment will be removed within a day.

Here’s one of the ads from the click-through article:

Full disclosure: The article does show White people, and even a handful of White men, but the primary goal seems to be portraying black men in central roles.

This slide illustrates the poor quality that passes for “journalism” today:

Can somebody explain that first line? Also, the bad punctuation implies that writing is being outsourced to people whose English is limited.

Here’s another slide:

One of the slides shows a famous artists rendition of the Roman Senate:

Let’s zoom in on a portion of this image, and compare it to another version, found elsewhere on the Internet:

There were darker-skinned people in actual Roman art, but this looks like an attempt to make it look like there were black Africans in the Roman Senate.

Here’s yet another full version of the painting. It’s from Goodreads:

In two words, this is how I would describe MSN: Cheap Propaganda.

What is a “Native American?”

Posted on June 28, 2025 by jewamongyou

We often hear people say things like, “unless you’re Native American, you’re an immigrant to this country.”

A common, and powerful, objection to this claim is that Native American tribes frequently conquered each other, took each other’s land, and replaced each other long before the arrival of the White Man. Therefore, the only way to claim that Native Americans are native to the land is to adopt the White Man’s concept of America – a concept that was entirely foreign to Native Americans prior to European colonization.

Along the same lines, we should point out that a member of the Lakota tribe (for example) is only native to parts of what we now call the “Midwest.” When a Lakota moves to California, the only way we could consider him “native” is if we hold him subject to the White Man’s colonial perception of “America” or the “United States.” By his tribe’s own indigenous standards, he would not be “native” outside of the Midwest.

This is a built-in contradiction to leftist claims of Native Americans being indigenous to the entirety of the United States.

Even more ridiculous is the leftist claim that, somehow, natives of what is now “Mexico” have more of a right to be in the United States – because they’re “indigenous to America.” The very concept of “America” was a White invention. Is there a Navajo word for “America?” It’s sometimes claimed that the Algonquian and Iroquoian term “Turtle Island” referred to America, but there’s no evidence that they had any knowledge of other continents; Turtle Island would have meant “the known world,” not any specific continent.

If a group of Aztecs wandered north, in pre-colonial times, and told the Apache people that what is now Texas is also their home, by virtue of it being part of North America, the Apache would probably have responded by killing them. At the very least, the claim would have elicited laughter.

In contrast, Native Europeans have had a concept of “Europe” or “Christendom” for centuries. When the Ottomans gathered an army and besieged Vienna in 1683, other European nations rallied to Vienna’s defense. All of Europe, with the exception of a small part of Turkey, shares enough commonality to be considered one civilization.

From Grok:

The earliest inklings of a pan-European identity can be traced to the Middle Ages, particularly from the 8th to 11th centuries, when shared religious, cultural, and political developments began to foster a sense of commonality across diverse European groups.

The same might be said of Eastern Asia and the Middle East. Native Americans had no such concept until it was forced upon them by outsiders in more recent times. Again, I’ll quote Grok:

The concept of a pan-Native-American identity, where diverse Indigenous peoples across North America saw themselves as part of a unified cultural or political group, is largely a modern phenomenon, emerging in response to shared experiences of European colonization, displacement, and cultural suppression. There’s little evidence of such an identity before European contact, as Native American societies were highly diverse, with distinct languages, cultures, and political structures, often organized by tribe, clan, or regional confederacies like the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy).

Despite all this, I’m not claiming that there is no validity to a wider Native-American identity. I do believe that Native American tribes should work together to further their own interests, protecting their cultures, languages and traditional lands. At the same time, we should all recognize that the very concept of “Native-American” is a White invention, made relevant only through White colonialism.

If not for White colonialism, the various tribes of the Americas would still be at constant war with each other, raiding each other, enslaving each other, eating each other and sacrificing each other to their gods.

Straw Man Arguments from The Right

Posted on June 26, 2025 by jewamongyou

There are two kinds of people on God’s green Earth: Those who seek the truth, and those who seek to support their own entrenched ideas, truthful or not. I strive to be among the first group. It’s what makes me happy.

Most people, both on the left and on the right, belong to the second group.

If you care about the truth, first do everything you can to accurately identify what the other party is actually saying. It’s not always obvious. We owe it to ourselves to tease the point out of their often-clumsy words.

Here’s an example:

There are a few ways to interpret this tweet, and we can’t know which interpretation Suzie intended. We should find the strongest point she could have meant and address that one. Lazy people, who do not value the truth, will interpret it with the weakest point possible, and then attack that. Thus, we find responses such as this meme:

It’s a great meme – assuming Suzie were actually advocating for cheap labor. I don’t think most Democrats actually want migrants working for $11 an hour. Maybe some do, but I’m pretty sure most of them don’t. The meme misses the point; it’s not going to change anybody’s mind.

The strongest way we can interpret Suzie’s post is that she believes America benefits from hardworking people. She looks back at America’s history and sees pioneers breaking their backs for a pittance. This is what built America, and it’s what made America great. Therefore, we should not be deporting such people – legal or not.

My response was, speaking for MAGA, not necessarily for myself:

I didn’t want to get into the demographic aspect of it here. At least for the short term, assuming her point is valid, the solution would be seasonal work visas for workers who are vetted – and that those workers would not count toward Electoral College representation. There are, of course, other ways to address her point, but they’re only effective if we understand her point in the strongest way possible.

Suzie’s approach, according to my interpretation, is similar to my own: We want people in America who are good for America, regardless of their legal status. We would disagree about which people those would be. “Legality” is just a piece of paper from a government that hardly anybody trusts.

Strong Evidence of MSN’s Antiwhite Bias

Posted on June 24, 2025 by jewamongyou

Two days ago, I found an MSN article about the so-called “Tulsa Massacre.” Here’s one of the comments:

I decided to conduct a little experiment. I posted the exact same comment, only switching the races. I followed up with a comment on the comment explaining what I had done. I’ve included the original comment in the graphic:

The following day, here’s what had happened to my comment:

The original comment remained intact; moderators seem to have had no problem with it. I went ahead and reported it for “hate speech.” That was yesterday. As of today, the original comment remains. Two days have passed, and MSN moderation sees nothing wrong with it.

There are only two possibilities that I can think of:

  1. MSN is biased against White people
  2. The original post was reported only by myself, while my post was reported by many antiwhites, and MSN’s actions, or lack thereof, are based on the number of reports it receives. According to Grok, MSN uses a combination of its own algorithm and user feedback for moderation.

I conclude that, given its history, MSN is biased against Whites – but so are most of its readers. My comment probably generated a few reports, and moderation took them seriously, since the reports are in line with its own antiwhite bias. My report was ignored, since because it was the only one, and because it runs contrary to MSN’s antiwhite bias.
