Month: February 2026

There is a lot of rationalization trying to overcome the inferiotity complex of Christians and Moslems in relation to Jews. I am not Jewish.

The problem can be fixed only by abandoning Christianity and embracing human reason as the only rational way to deal with the mosteries and wonders of nature, with ethics, civil life and everything else.

That is what the Ancient Greeks did and that is what empowered them and that is why they left behind the rest of humanity of the time, Jews and Persians included.

That is why the Greeks developed democracy; rule by us, by the people themselves, not by any god or gods or holy books.

The Greek and Roman gods did not come close to the Jewish (Christian and Muslim god), they had many and each occupied a limited parcel of life; god of the home. Of war, of the sea, etc.

The Greeks and Romans treated their gods only as slightly superior to humans and they had a kind of dialogue, a transactional relation to them

This can be seen in the way they prayed and offered sacrifices not to ask for forgiveness for sins like the Jews did and, later Christians and Moslems, the Greeks and Romans sacrificed an animal to get something from a particular god.
Greek: “O Zeus, grant victory to our army, and accept this bull as offering.”
Roman: “Jupiter, if we follow the auspices and perform the ritual correctly, grant peace and prosperity to Rome.”
Jewish: “Hear, O Lord, our prayers, forgive our sins, and guide us in Your ways.”
Christian: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your kingdom come.”
Muslim: “O Allah, guide me, forgive my sins, and bless me and my family.”
Praying postures also reflect the self image of each: Greeks and Romans prayed standing and seated. On rare occasions the Romans prayed kneeling. Never prostrated
Jews prayed standing, kneeling and sometimes prostrated.
Christians prayed standing and frequent kneeling.
As for Moslems, you can see how they pray.

It is obvious by how they looked at god or gods that Greeks and Romans had a much higher esteem of humans and thus they had gods with very limited powers.
They never looked at the gods for moral, ethical or legal guidance, they had to figure out what was the right thing by themselves.

That is why they rely on human reason as the essential tool to deal with everything.

That is why the Greeks developed democracy as rational way to govern: “ we think, we debate, we vote to decide”, no divine kings, no high priests, no god, mo holy books”

The other peoples of the time, Jews, Persians, Egyptiians or the more distant Indians of Chines or anybody else ever came close to the Greeks.

Democracy empowered the people and the individual. No wonder the Greeks thought about everything without fear of violating any dogma, holy book or “revealed truth”.

No doubt the concept of an all powerful god ruling over humans made no sense to Greeks and Romans.

Neither probably make sense to Greeks and Romans to have exclusively male divinity, they had goddesses too, which shows women were held in much higher regard than in Judaism and the latecomers Christians and Moslems.

That is why the Romans ruling over the Jews did not force them to vonvert to Roman beliefs and respected Jewish beliefs, except when Judaism became political. Romans did not care much for Judaism as religion but cracked down on Jews and destroyed the temple because Jews rebelled against Roman rule, a serious miscalculation but not the first in the long history of miscalculations by Jews, although one can not deny that, overall, Jews calculated even better than the Greek and Roman political entities.

However, Greek and Roman thought came back from the dead and are in the process of prevailing over Christian, Jewish and Moslem thought since the Renaissance and the Enlightenment which pushed religion and god to the sidelines.

Somehow, a number of Middle Ages Italians and orhers decided to bring back freedom of thought and democracy.

The rest is history; the number of people abandoning religion, not because they hate religion or god but because it no longer makes sense in view of the advances of Greek thought-based science in all fields, including the spiritual.

The efforts of the Church to shoehorn Christianity into Greek thought, or viceversa have been an abject failure, just a bunch of intellectual pirouettes. If the Ancient Greeks could read what Thomas Aquinas and others did, the Greeks would have seen them as irrational; Greek ideas about everything were very diverse but all the product of human thinking, not of revealed truth, that would be an absurd concept to them. In fact, they knew of Judaism but did not make sense to them. How could it? For the Greeks, man, not the gods are the measure of all things.

In fact, that is what Protagoras stated some 2600 years ago.

The greeks did not execute him for pushing gods aside, an indication of how civilized they were.

They did no go after him either when he stated:
“Concerning the gods, I am not able to know whether they exist or not, or what they are like, because of the obscurity of the subject and the shortness of human life.”

Neirher did they go after Democritus who, at about the same time stated that
All things consist of atoms and void.
Reason is the tool to understand the World. Knowledge, perception, and reason are central; the gods (if they exist) are irrelevant to natural processes.

Thought is the result of the activity of the atoms of our head, not of any soul.

Look at how differently the Christian treated Galileo when he put forward rational evidence that Earth was not at the center of the Universe, they practically killed him. Or what the Jews did to Spinoza in the 1600s.

Not to mention what Moslems even today do to non believers or apostates…
Let me say sometjing about Marxists and Atheists who hate and fight the idea of god; they are as irrational and primitive as those who persecuted Galileo or Spinoza, or the deranged Moslem Supremacists of today.

We have not completely left behind dogmatic magical thinking, otherwise we would not have Marxism, Fascism, Nazism or all the religions.

But we will bevause science proves that many religious beliefs make no sense, that absolute thinking is irrational when applied to nature and thought, perhaps mathematics is the exception.

Marxism, communism, socialism, religious fascism like Iran’s are much worse than just religious beliefs.

Religious thinking is contrsry to democracy too because absolute truth. Faith, is incompatible with freedom of thought. Fortunately, most Christians have acvepted to separate religion from politics and laws. Most Jews in Western coyntries too, but not the Sionists. As for Moslems, they are stuck in pre Galileo times.

One big step all countries need to take to catch up to the Greeks is to bring final authority to decide laws and policies to the votets and remove them from elected politicians. So far, only the Swiss come close.

To all Jews, Sionists and otherwise. To all Christian Sionists too.

Do not you realize your lobbying in favour of Israel is creating millions of American antisemites by the day and that the end result will be a new catastrophe for Jews?

That your lobbying on behalf of Israel is perfectly legal does not mean that most Anericans, fair minded Anericans, do not think it is excessive.

For example, most fair minded Americans believe that most Anerican politicians in the federal executive and legislative decide in favour of Israel even when the majority of Anericans disagree, such was and is the case with Israeli actions in Gaza, but you see it as just antisemitism, as hate of Jews for being Jews. In my opinion, that is an irrational conclusion which sets you, Sionists Jews and Christian Sionists, on a collision course with most Americans, a collision in which you will be in the losing side because, sooner or later, by the ballot or the bullet, the majority will impose its will.

To make matters much worse for you and for Israel, you double down in your actions to control and suppress criticism of your support for Israel.

One clear example is Larry Ellison buying Tik Tok US and CBS news in order to control what users of Tik Tok see or say about you and Israel.

Mr. Ellison: you have the right whatever yoy can but those purchases create more antisemites because they dovetail with the perception that you, the Jews, have already too much influence over politicians and now also want to control what we post and see on Tik Tok and what we watch in CBS.

Do you not see that actions such as those create more resentment and more antisemitism? Do you not see that the issue is rapidly evolving from criticism of Israel in Gaza to growing antisemitism in the US and that Larry Ellison action ads fuel to the antisemitism rocket?

Do not you see that the issue is not just anti Sionism or anti Israel but outright antisemitism, triggered by your unfair accusation that criticism of Israel is just antisemitism?

Do not you not see that it is irrational to believe that you, the Jews, who represent 2% of the American population can not prevail on any issue in which the majority thinks otherwise.

Even if you were right and critics of Israel and of Larry Ellison actions, and other actions by Jews, are motivated by irrational, foaming at the mouth antisemitic feelings, if the people holding such feelings constitute the majority you, the Jews in America, can not prevail because you are a tiny minority. No matter how accomplished Jews can never prevail, and history proves that over and over since the Pharaohs.

Never mind the stupid accusation tha Jews want to control the World, the facts speak the opposite, that the Jews, over and over are at the mercy of the non-Jewish majority, that is precisely what motivated Jews to re-create Israel.

But you are blowing it; somehow, and amazingly, you succeeded in creating Israel (thanks to the support of the British) but you continue to be at the mercy of non Jews.

Israel was made possible by non-Jews and Israel survives thanks to the support of the US.

Until Gaza, most Americans supported Israel when the issue was to help tiny Israel survive against the hundreds of millions of hostile Moslem Supremacists.

Up until Gaza the opinion of most Americans aligned with the decusions of Democrat and Republican governments in support of Israel, that alignment is now broken.

Unfortunately, and in a decision of unbelievable stupidity, so stupid that is suicidal, Jewish and Christian Sionists decided that millions of Americans who before supported Israel have now, for no good reason, turned into antisemites. It is absurd.

Most of those Americans who criticize Israel on Gaza agree what Hamas did on October 7 was horrible, and supported that Israel retaliate. What they disagree with is the manner in which Israel retaliated; they found it unjustified, excessive.

Unfortunately, Jewish Sionists and Christian Sionists reacted to criticism of Israel as if it was antisemitisn. While I am certain the antisemites were among the critics, most critics are not antisemites, they are fair ninded people who found Israeli actions excessive and also found excessive the US government actions and votes in support of Israeli actions in Gaza.

When those fair minded critics saw themselves being accused of antisemitism, many of them did turn into antisemites; they felt the accusation was not true.
Quite rationally, when anyone sees himself or herself being accused of what they are not, they turn on the accuser, they do not pretend that the accuser has said nothing.

Unfortunately, and correctly, when that happens you, Zionist Jews and Christian Sionists, accuse the new antisemites of being antisemites but are unable to see that it is your words and actions who turned them into amtisemites.

Because of the split between the opinion of most Americans and the decisions of US politicians, most non-Jewisn Americans are coming to the conclusion that American Jewish Sionists and Christian Sionists, have excessive influence over most US politicians.

Again you, Jewish and Christian Sionists, againbaccuse those people of being antisemitic.

We are now in a situation in which antisemitism is snowballing in the US.

We are hearing more and more voices saying: “ Jews have too much power”, “the government of Israel controls the US government”, etc.

No need to be a sharp observer to see this will end up badly for you, the Jewish Americans and for Israel.

There is at least one way to prevent an antisemitic catastrophe in the US.

American Jews, Sionists or not, who want Israel to survive, and Christian Sionists too, have to tell Israel: “we will stop all lobbying for Israel, except in a clear extreme situation in which the survival of Israel is in danger. Hamas is not such danger because they lack the power to do do”.

“From now on, Israel will not get any special treatment. Israel will have to lobby the US government like other lobbies but will not be able to count on the support of American Jews, no matter how rich or poor”.

“Us the American Jews, will act in ways that will show other Anericans we put America and Anericans before Israel and Israelis. Judaism is our religion and Jewish our culture but we are Americans, not Israelis”.

My suggestion to you American Jews and all Anericans is that to stop and reverse the demolicion of the credibility of the US government in the eyes of most Americans, to roll back the snowballing antisemitism, America needs “the Swiss amendment” to the US Constitution.

Such amendment transfers final decision making power over any issue that approxinately 1% of registered voters sign up to put it to a referendum. This means that the voters will become the final decision makers on, for example, the amount and type of assistance to Israel or any other country.

This amendment transfer all decisive power to the people from poluticians. Fir that reason, also forces the lobbies to lobby the public directly. The Israeli lobby could collect the signatures to put the issue of degree if support for Israel to a popular referendum. It is the democratic way to do it.

All lobbies will then kniw the politicians can only do what has the support of the majority of the voters.

Right now you, the Jews are doing nothing illegal, you just are very smart at lobbying, like at so many other things.

In fact, it is the US Constitution and the US Supreme Court who handed excessive power to piliticians and lobbies, “the Swiss amendment” fixes the “loophole”.

Most ntisemitism will go away too because I see antisemitism as a tribal issue. The majority tribe needs to feel in control of their government, land and destiny, when a minority tribe, in this case you, the Jews, acquires extraordinary influence, disproportionate to your numbers, even if it is the result of hard work and brains, the majority tribe will not accept that for the reasons I indicated, and sooner or later will act to take control back.

IN a real democracy suc tribal conflict would never arise because such democracy will have “government by the majority while respecting the minority but not at rhe expense of the majority.

The strategy of blaming on antisemitism the criticism of Israel on Gaza or of saying that Jews have too much influence over the US government when it comes to Israel, both are irrational because they create more antisemitism.

You, Jews also need to keep in mind that those politicians, including Trump, Biden, etc., who now so loudly support Israel, you do not know if they do so out of conviction or because they need Jewish donor money.

Many of them will quickly turn on you and Israel, or abandon both, once they see most voters have done that. I think it is starting to happen; some reports say “Jewish money”, “AIPAC money” is now toxic for political campaigns.

I see a lot of debate about Israel, Netanyahu, Sionism, amtisemitism, AIPAC, etc.

Sionism is the logical result of the repeated rejection and persecution of Jews since the Pharaohs.

Even if Sionism dies antisemitism will not. It will last as long as the Jews and as long as the Jews do not figure out one or both of the following; how to be truly accepted by the non-Jewish majority of the countries Jews live in and/or figure out a way to have a country that will be accepted by its neighbours because if it is not accepted by its neighbours such country will perish or have to rely on one or more powerful non-Jewish countries, countries that sooner or later will turn on the Jews, as we see the people of the US doing, although not the politicians.

Jews also have to figure out a way to avcept non- Jews as equals; as long as they cling to the irrational idea that somehow they are better people because, for example, there is a disproportionately high number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners, etc., and somehow that shows Judaism makes Jews superior, they will generate rejection.

It is irrational to consider, for example, Einstein, a superior human. He was a superior scientist but his owm life shows he was not superior at all, otherwise he would have had a happy first marriage instead of ending in the failure of divorce. He then married his cousin which, to me, shows he was not very good at socializing.

I think a big reset is needed among Jews and non- Jews but, for obvious reasons, it the Jewish minority who needs to make the majoe reset if they ever aspire at being truly accepted.

As for the Westerners, they need to accelerate de irrelevance and alien nature to our civilisation which rests on Classical Greek and, to a lesser extent Roman, thought. They also need to accelerate the irrelevance of Marxism and all its derivatives because it too isva dogmatic religion but with not even rhe moral brake of God.

The basis of our civilisation is humans, human reason should lead us to debate ideas and to decide by majority vote, ruling ourselves by our ability to reason, not by what any god or holy book tells us.

We are getting there but it takes effort because religion and marxism are dogmatic believes from above, both look down on the ability of humans to figure out things by ourselves and thus are intrinsically incompatible with democracy.

Religions do not like democracy because democracy rests on the idea that there are no god-given universal truths, that the people, through respectful debate have to figure out what is the right thing to do. Yes, the people will make some mistakes but the use of reason will develop further their ability to reason. Holy books, marxism or any other ideology based on revealed “truths” or the “inspiration” of one human will always end up becoming irrelevant because with the passage of time society changes.

The reason why many former believers in religion, marxism, etc., abandon them is because science, discoveres, reflections triggered by science and discovery, lead more and more people to decide religious and marxist dogmas make no sense.

The Greeks had it right; the citizens must debate and decide the laws, war, etc.

While Greek democracy, which meant government by the people, not gods, priests, kings or generals or aristocrats, was not perfect it was far ahead of any other society in terms of respect for humanity

Not just with respect to other contemporary societies like Jews, Romans, Persian, Macedonians, etc., but also with respect to all the so-called democracies of today. Such societies are not democracy by aristocracies of elected representatives and the rich.

Only Switzerland, where the citizens on their own inititiative can and do decide and nullify the decisions by politicians regarding any law or policy, at all levels of goverment, come close the Greek democracy.

So, if we want to diminish antisemitism we have some thinking to do.

Real democracy, Swiss style is a good step because it ensures the will of the majority of voters always prevails. It is impossible on Seitzerland to have the situation now present in so many countries in which the elected politicians and the lobbies often prevail over the will of the people.

Antiseminism is negñigible in Switzerland because an AIPAC, with so much imfluence over government, over politicians is not possible. In the Swiss system AIPAC would have to take the issue to the people. Im Switzerland AIPAC (its equivalent) would have to collect 1% of signatures of registered voters and call a referendum for Swiss voters to decide if the country should send to Israel x billions of dollars, sell weapons and how many, etc.

The Swiss people would decide for or against and that would settle the issue until another possible referendum overturns and modifies the decision.

If you want the Swiss system of real democracy you have to set aside your political ideas and joinc others to demand a radical and peaceful change to the decision making system in your town, state, province, region so that the people are the final decision makers, mot the politicians or even the highest court.

That is the real rehime change you need in your country.

For all his faults, Trump will likely be the guy whose tough standing up to Xi-CCP will take down the CCP.

He will likely take down also the weak Western leaders like Carnet, Macron. Starmer and Schulz who despise Trump but who not stand up for their peoples lile Trump does on immigration and bringing backs existencial manufacturing.

I predict the CCP will produce a leader to finish political uniparty Communism, just like Deng ditched ecomomic Communiss and accepted capitalism, unfortunately with nazi-like totalitarian and racial superiority overtones.

The CCP leader doing that will also turn to Taiwan to build the second Chinese democracy. A democracy which is now more democratic than other democracies because it incorporated in its constitution important provisions of direct democravy of the Swiss constitution.

Such regime change will turn China into the second pillar to turn the whole World democratic, but with Swiss style real people power.

Just imagine how great China will become with such switch.

The hard working and smart Chinese people will turn a democratic China into a center of science, technology, business, culture, etc.

Such China will be welcomed with open arms by the West as the essential partner to continue moving the World forward.

Dich changes in China will collapse Communism all over and will also collapse the crazy Islamists and, pretty soon, Russia.

Long live a democratic China!

By the all democracies need the Swiss system of direct authority of the people over politicians and castrated lobbies.

This will change nothing. New faces, same system of big donors in total control of elected politicians of both parties.

If you really want to fix your democracy, in the US, in Canada, UK, France, etc., the ordinary people, on the right, left and center, have to take to the streets and demand, relentlessly, until they get it, the still missing civil right; the right to directly stop any law or policy the politicians put in place, the right to force politicians to put in place any law, policy and change to the constitution the people want, the right to force a binding popular referendum on any of the above if about 1% of registered sign up and thus force rhe national goverment and other government levels to carry out such referendums.

The results of such truly denocratic referendums must be carried by the executive and the legislative and the highest court in the land will not be able to even evaluate the constitutionality of the referendum, let alone overturn it.

That is what the Swiss people did in the 1800s to wrestle control of their country, cantons (states), cities and towns off the hands of politicians and big money.

The result has been decade after decade the best governed and most prosperous democracy in the World.

The Swiss people are also and by far, rhe freest people in the World because they are free to decide the laws, the policies, the constitution that they have.

People in other democracies have the right to free speech and freedom of the press (sort of), the Swiss have the right to themselves decide the laws defining the level of free expression and any other law, policy or amendment to the constitution.

Until citizens have such right to decide, they are not free, they are controlled by the politicians and by the lobbies, the big money, the big business, the big media controlling the politicians.

The right power to decide is the pending civil right for all. Without it, all ordinary citizens of all races are second class citizens sitting at the back of the bus.

Who will be the black, white, hispanic, oriental, native or other who will be today’s Rosa Parks?

This powerlessness of all ordinary citizens is even more abomibable than depriving blacks of the right to vote. That injustice affected only blacks, depriving people of the right to decide is an abomination committed daily against blacks and all other citizens.

We pay, we must decide, voting to elect politicians and free expression is not enough!

It is obvious all democracies need regime update.
