Sam Waterston made a far better Oppenheimer than Murphy.

More Jewy, simple as.

Let’s keep it real dudes, just add darkies to the ballast; executive director etcetera.

“Oppenheimer” still easily met the diversity requirements for Best Picture.

How? You ought to have quoted that part.

powerful and privileged men who work at the nation’s most elite academic institutions.

These were smart men rather than powerful or privileged. Oppenheimer’s father arrived penniless and without speaking English in 1888.

According to Wikipedia:

He was hired by a textile company and within a decade was an executive there, eventually becoming wealthy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer

So pleased to see my beautiful Ashkenazi brothers and sisters of color finally get a bit of representation in Hollywood!

“It’s amazing the Fat Man bomb went off at all without Hidden Figures to check von Neumann’s math.”

That’s a great line. I wish I’d written it. Thanks.

Didn’t anyone ask gargle AI to paint a picture of the Manhattan project guys……..not casting Oppenheimer as a disabled black lesbian trans woman is an outrage!

But because of its historical context, the cast is nearly all white. The biographical film, directed by Christopher Nolan, is set largely during World War II, when the military and most of American society was still segregated. Its plot — about the classified program to develop the atomic bomb — is centered on powerful and privileged men who work at the nation’s most elite academic institutions.

Yes, the Manhattan Project was just like a pre-WWII WASP country club. No Jews allowed.

Oops, no, scratch that. Never mind.

Groves had to make a devil’s bargain. He could either let a bunch of Jews and Communists and Jewish Communists and Communist Jews and Communist Jew Commies with funny foreign accents work on the bomb or he could not have a bomb (at least not before the war was over).

It would be like trying to do some sort of large project today that requires hiring a lot of college professors but you could only hire the ones who were registered Republicans. You could forget about it because there wouldn’t be enough of them to do the project.

Still I am amazed that Nolan did not sneak in at least a few blacks – only a director of Nolan’s stature could have gotten away with this. Otherwise there are blacks in all sorts of historical movies where they don’t belong nowadays. It’s almost mandatory.

(1) You’re voluntarily bringing up Fuchs?
(2) You white. You so white. You so white fo’ real.

Sailer wants to know why special exceptions always seem to apply to (((white))) men.

Is Steve just playing dumb at this point?

Could it be the same reason that Jews are allowed to be admitted way above their representative share of the overall population at the Ivies – something like 10 to 20+% when they make up just 2% of the overall population? (While white gentiles are vastly underrepresented relative to, not only merit, but their absolute fraction of the general population.)

Could it be the same reason that Jews are allowed to make up over half of the top positions in Biden’s Cabinet?

For some reason, the demands that those in positions of power and prestige be “representative” of the general population never seems to apply to Jews who are always given special exemption from suffering the same consequences of affirmative action as white gentiles are.

Notably, despite all the universalistic rhetoric, similar vast Jewish overrepresentation in positions of authority also occurred in the USSR. Because, as Orwell observed: All animals are equal but some animals are just more equal than others.

This sounds insane. If the best work of art has a racially undiverse cast, you will stop it? I could care less if the best movie is 100% white or 100% black. Or 100% male or 100% female. Qui gives a shit?

Someone should look at the standards and try to deliberately violate them (but with a kickass film), just to get the talking point of how the movie was kept out of the Oscars because of it.

P.s. Oppenheimer was a snooze. Another too loud score from Nolan. Silly movie also. Too bad as he is capable of good things.

If all of the world’s people were Ashkenazi Jews, human society would be about 350 years more advanced today than it is now. Their excellence in science, entertainment, finance, law, economics, literature, and more would be able to manifest on a much larger scale. Plus, if everyone is Jewish, there are no non-Jews for them to manipulate, so they will work in unison towards the big picture.

The technological level would be comparable to what we see in Star Trek : The Next Generation. We would have warp drive, replicators, holodecks, and an interstellar civilization by now. We would already have started spreading out across the galaxy.

This, of course, requires the genetic component of Ashkenazi Jews. Converting WN wiggers (avg. IQ: 70) to Judaism will not suddenly add 40+ points to their respective IQs.

Even non-Jews with Jewish names, such as Morris Seligman Dees and Whoopi Goldberg (who still retains her original legal name Caryn Johnson) became much more successful than they would have been without the Jewish name. Ms. Johnson gave it to herself, so is even smarter than Mr. Dees. Ms. Johnson is an EGOT, only the fourth woman and first black person to complete the quartet of major awards. It is safe to say her talent is not on par with previous EGOT winners like Rita Moreno.

Hey, it is true. The WN wiggers here routinely say that if all humans where black Africans, we would still be at around 1500 BC. By that same token, if all humans were Ashkenazi Jews, we would be 350 years ahead of where we are today.

Groves had to make a devil’s bargain. He could either let a bunch of Jews and Communists and Jewish Communists and Communist Jews and Communist Jew Commies with funny foreign accents work on the bomb or he could not have a bomb (at least not before the war was over).

Or, he could have asked himself why these people in particular were the only ones demanding a bomb. After he answered that question, he could then perhaps re-evaluate whether he was on the wrong side (as Patton later concluded).

“Fat Man” and “Little Boy” are triggering.

didn’t stop Christopher Nolan from making a serious, original movie on an important topic intended to lure grown-ups with three digit IQs back to the movie theaters that made $900 million at the box office.

I didn’t think it was serious and it was not original in a good way. If Oppenheimer is considered a good film then I haven’t been lured back.

These were smart men rather than powerful or privileged. Oppenheimer’s father arrived penniless and without speaking English in 1888.

Unless by “powerful” or “privileged” you mean “plugged himself into an ethnic network.”

He was hired by a textile company and within a decade was an executive there, eventually becoming wealthy.[8] In 1912, the family moved to an apartment on Riverside Drive near West 88th Street, Manhattan, an area known for luxurious mansions and townhouses.[6] Their art collection included works by Pablo Picasso, Édouard Vuillard, and Vincent van Gogh.

As the typical “textile executive” does.

That’s going to be my new euphemism: “Uh oh, looks like a lot of textile executives have moved in.”

Julius (aka J. Robert) himself grew up in privilege. The movie raises this as a point of friction between himself and Lewis Strauss, who was himself a self-made man. Strauss was intimidated and intellectually threatened by the well educated and snooty, privileged Oppenheimer and this led in part to Strauss trying to cut Oppenheimer down a notch.

von Neumann also had a very privileged background. However, some of the scientists (e.g. Feynman) grew up in very modest circumstances.

But yes, in general the upward mobility of the Jews was remarkable. I have a cousin thru marriage (no blood relation) and he tells of his grandfather who arrived as a HS age teenager in the early 20th century and very quickly studied up on his English and got into Yale (before they had Jewish quotas) and then Yale law school and eventually became a judge in New Haven. It seems almost impossible to catch up that quickly but they did. I think it’s hilarious/sad when they interview some illegal alien who has been here for 20 years and the interview is in Spanish because in 20 years said alien hasn’t learned two words of Ingles.

As I posted previously, Christopher Nolan, although born a Brit, does Jewish filmmaking: Materialistic, intellectual, with dissension and contentiousness featuring strongly and putting a spring into the heels of the various actors. Thus, the Hollywood Jewish mafia embraced the style and ethos of his work. As did the film critics who worked for the mainstream media, because they knew what was good for them. So that’s how he got away with it.

Btw, as I detailed before, “Past Lives” is a better film. The Ebert.com panel rated it as the number-two movie of 2023, so it is not just a SafeNow recommendation. Ebert.com placed “Oppenheimer” close behind at number three. (But I personally believe past lives is far better .)

“awards handicappers”

Wait, what? What is this term?

“It’s amazing the Fat Man bomb went off at all without Hidden Figures to check von Neumann’s math.”

It’s amazing Uncle Samantha didn’t bother filming the first ever military use of atomic bombs.

It’s amazing that damage caused by atomic bombs looks 100% identical to damage caused by Uncle Samantha’s sustained firebombing campaigns of Japanese cities.

It’s amazing I can find only CGI reenactments of atomic bomb detonations, but no film or video.

It’s amazing that no one has used an atomic bomb since WWII.

It’s amazing Boomers think atomic bombs are real.

Does this mean the very homogeneously Korean film Parasite, which in 2020 became the first non-English-language Best Picture, would no longer qualify in the Current Year?

Fuchs wasn’t a Jew. He was born a Lutheran German. His father became a pacifist after WW1.

So why are they bitching about the evil Whiteness in Oppenheimber?

Of course the Evil Ones always recruit paid stooges to front for them,

The answer of course, is money.Paid liars with golden chains. Until they get replaced.

So far since about September, films have tanked at the box office. A few decent returns but not many.

Marvel’s chick flick Spidergals, or whatever, set new Box Office lows for that tired franchise. No one went.

Barbie was a one hit wonder last summer for the H’wood feminist mafia. But how many men bought tickets w/o taking an estrogen filled date/spouse?

I only saw a few clips but it seemed silly and forced. Yes it made money (was expensive to make) but I doubt that we’ll see a Barbie II. Campy cartoons made w/ people are seldom long lasting.

Otherwise Woke Hollywood is fast becoming “box office poison”, in that memorable phrase.

So these two White guys repping for the Quota Queens of Film are just punching their clock.

If the Manhattan Project was staffed by mainly females and non Whites, we’ d all be speaking Japanese by now.

These two White NYT pimps would be complaining about the lack of Japanese characters in the epic tale of American defeat. The “people of color” would be Asians.

Jewish Communists and Communist Jews

And so the Soviet Union popped smoke in 1949

The answer is easy. Oppenheimer and the other men who created the atom bomb were communist Jews. Recently arrived communist Jews who spoke Yiddish at home and among themselves immigrants and some American born Yiddish speaking communist Jews.

And had a superb communist Jewish courier service to send their research to communist Jewish spies in NYC Who sent the information on to Stalin.

If they were all old American Christian goys no movie would ever been made.

“Dunkirk” was an extremely boring film, despite it depicting events in which two family members were closely involved, and despite my large-ish amount of background reading on the subject.

Biden in April 2020 –

Bullshit. The world would be a big Ukrainian shtetl, with Kosher butchers, fiddlers on the roof, lewd housewives, milk boys etc.
The smartest jids would hone their skills with Talmudic hair-splitting debates.

As I posted previously, Christopher Nolan, although born a Brit, does Jewish filmmaking: Materialistic, intellectual, with dissension and contentiousness featuring strongly and putting a spring into the heels of the various actors. Thus, the Hollywood Jewish mafia embraced the style and ethos of his work. As did the film critics who worked for the mainstream media, because they knew what was good for them. So that’s how he got away with it.

So a successful British born filmmaker, now American, is successful only because “Hollywood Jews like his work.”

The fact that the ticket buying public likes his work, seems to be irrelevant.

When everything is about “the Jews”, then nothing is anything else.

True the Jewish influence via personalities in Hollywood has been quite noticeable, but so what? It’s not like they have secret meetings on Saturday after Temple to decide who gets what.

Eat some bacon and calm down, will you…

“If the Manhattan Project was staffed by mainly females and non Whites, we’ d all be speaking Japanese by now.”

Be fair. The US, Russia and the British Empire (as was) were, in Churchill’s words “twice or even thrice the strength of our antagonists. Hitler’s fate was sealed. Mussolini’s fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder“. And that was when the bomb was still only a theory.

But an awful lot of Americans, and perhaps Australians and Brits, would have died fighting their way across the Japanese home islands.

Which presbyter did the Rosenbergs attend?

But not all the scientists on the Manhattan Project were Jews, although they were over represented.

Some who weren’t: Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe (apparently his mother had a Jewish background but was not raised in the faith), Glen T Seaborg (Swedish descent), Klaus Fuchs (spy, German Protestant), Luis Walter Alvarez (Catholic of Spanish descent), Neils Bohr (Danish).

There’s plenty more.

Morty,

This doesn’t ring true. It seems modern Jewish achievements have largely been empowered by interaction with the host society.

+++

Did you mean 15,000 BC?

This is correct depending on whether you go with Thomm’s loose criteria or whether you specify “post-Haskalah” Ashkenazic Jews. But that theological hair-splitting did set it up.

Groves did not make the decision on whether or not to build a bomb. That would have been FDR. His job was to carry out the mission assigned to him by his superiors, which was to oversee the building of a bomb and all the facilities necessary to build a bomb and not decide whether it was a good idea to build a bomb. Groves had overseen the building of the Pentagon in record time so they thought that he was the man for the job. He was well aware of the security risks posed by his herd of cats but he had no choice but to use them if he was to finish the job because the Ven diagram of red blooded non Leftist white Christian American patriotic men and brilliant nuclear scientists did not overlap very much. If he had refused then the Army would have gotten someone else.

Patton had some pretty strange views. If we had not built the bomb then someone else would have, with or without Soviet spies.

Fuchs wasn’t a Jew. He was born a Lutheran German. His father became a pacifist after WW1.

No, but Harry Gold, Morris Cohen, David Greenglass, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg sure were.

Placing things in perspective–

1. German nuclear program had a budget of $2 million

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_nuclear_program_during_World_War_II

2. Japanese nuclear program had a budget of just over $4 million. (from jp version of wiki article)

3. Manhanttan project had a budget of $2 billion (1945, ~US$26 billion in 2022)

Japan went to war in China largely to prevent Soviet communist infiltration– communist spies later handed nuclear secrets to Communist China

The Chinese nuclear program was aided by its considerable access to Western atomic secrets. For example, China may have benefited from the defection of American physicist Joan Hinton in 1948 (Reed and Stillman 87). Hinton had worked on the “Fat Man” plutonium implosion bomb at Los Alamos and witnessed the Trinity Test.

Despite Mao’s proclamation of scientific independence, however, Qian Sanqiang traveled to East Germany in July 1959 to meet with former Manhattan Project physicist—and Soviet spy—Klaus Fuchs.

Fuchs and Qian spent the summer of 1959 going over detailed designs of the “Fat Man” plutonium implosion bomb.

I think it was Steve who pondered … what if Oppenheimer was made by the Coens. I didn’t see Christopher Nolan’s version because I’m already plagued by boredom boners. I’d only attempt this slog through Science if it was a Coen Bros. film. It would be shorter than Nolan’s 4+ hours and certainly infused with the Coen’s quirky and black humour — as in the few moments of genuine laughs interspersed with the darkness found in No Country for Old Men rather than the udderly annoying and slapstick The Hudsucker Proxy. I think the Coens might have been receptive to my subplot wherein ambitious satanists Jack Parsons and Aleister Crowley sneak onto the Trinity site with their little box containing the clay figure that they hope to spark into a fully formed golem using the nuclear ignition. Nolan is humourless and lacks vigour.

Definitely they were not all Jewish but there were a lot of them, especially considering that Jews were 2 or 3% of the US population. Fermi was not Jewish but his wife was and this was why they left Italy.

If you go by nominal GDP, Russia is still #11, tied with Mexico. Not very impressive compared to the GDP of NATO .

It’s a movie about Jews gleefully making nukes to kill lots of Germans but then feigning a bit of conscience when lots of Japanese were killed instead.

Jews making the Bomb and then fretting about it.
Having it both ways.

OT — I guess Steve’s comment on the State of the Union, let alone the completely dilatory primaries, was his lack of comment. My pre-taping prediction was wrong (I forgot about the wake-up drug J. Mason of Ecuadorial fame had described earlier) but I largely agree. I’d like to hear what any retired lawyers whose last name starts with the fourth letter of the alphabet thought about it, but maybe I can search that.
Even with Mason’s Elixir he was recognizable, though.

Barbie was successful because lots and lots and lots of girls played with Barbies growing up. Mattel is looking into a Rock ’em-Sock ’em Robots movie, for crying out loud. People are nostalgic, they like to remember their childhood, and Hollywood is really good at movies aimed at children or people remembering being children. How many Transformers movies did they make? (Anyone here who says ‘none worth mentioning after 1986’, I hear you and salute the iron birds of fortune, but from a money point of view they did quite well.)

I’ve had a policy of not seeing Hollywood movies unless they have a white male protagonist. Let Hollywood’s diversity bite them in the wallet. So I did see Oppenheimer, and Wonka, though sadly I missed Top Gun: Maverick. I’m told European series still employ white people; MHz has a few of those. Liberals have been doing ‘conscious consumption’ for a while; no reason you can’t steal a few of the enemy’s tools. I mean, Bud Light blinked.

Oh, a Lutheran. So that’s why he served the Soviet Union.

One of the ways is have behind the scenes people be DEI.

Wait, so they were in a world war with the world’s foremost industrial power that had defeated several countries, and you’re saying he wanted a superweapon *because the Jews tricked him*?

But yes, in general the upward mobility of the Jews was remarkable. I have a cousin thru marriage (no blood relation) and he tells of his grandfather who arrived as a HS age teenager in the early 20th century and very quickly studied up on his English and got into Yale (before they had Jewish quotas) and then Yale law school and eventually became a judge in New Haven. It seems almost impossible to catch up that quickly but they did.

Jack, c’mon. We know you are lying, because we’ve been told endlessly that America–before the Jews bravely fought to take charge–was an oppressive hell-hole, full of racist, anti-Semites at Waspy Acres Country Club constantly scheming to hold Jews back, by enjoying a round of golf or drinks without Jewish humor and stopping Jewish boys from trying to bone their shiksa goddess daughters. (Deeply offensive to Jews, of course, known for their commitment to integration, and hatred of tribal endogamy.)

Now you’re trying to tell us Jews could just show up, use their smarts and get ahead. Liar!

You might think that Hollywood and The Animal Farm Bulletin would be a little embarrassed that it took a British director to make a movie about one of the most important events of the 20th century, the AMERICAN-led development of the atomic bomb, while Hollywood’s big contribution to movies was a show about a girl’s doll.

So pleased to see my beautiful Ashkenazi brothers and sisters of color finally get a bit of representation in Hollywood!

All too often it is the shiksa goddess seducing the poor Jewish naïf.

For a famous example:

Gainsbourg, who spoke through his album l’homme à tête de chou, was flawless in Birkin’s eyes, as she once said: “He was a great man. I was just pretty”.

…

The two met on the sets of the French film Slogan, directed by Pierre Grimblat, in 1968. Birkin was just out of her first marriage with composer John Barry and was still recovering from the heartbreak. While she didn’t speak a single word of French, she auditioned for the part anyway in what was likely a plot to get far away from the place which reminded her of the past. With an aching heart and infant in her arms, Birkin failed to see through Gainsbourg’s apparent roughness initially. Her brother Andrew recalled Jane’s feelings towards the musician, who said: “He’s horrible! that dreadful man Serge Bourgignon. He’s meant to be my lover but he’s so arrogant and snobbish and he absolutely despises me.”

However, during a dinner party for the film’s cast and crew, Birkin took her chances and dragged Gainsbourg to the dance floor to make things easier between them. After initial protests, Gainsbourg not only joined her and danced the night away, but also went club hopping after that. The pair, highly intoxicated, returned to Gainsbourg’s hotel room, where he fell asleep instantly. Birkin spent the night watching him sleep and later said, “It was the most romantic of evenings”.

…

In 1969, the duo worked together on a song which was initially written for Gainsbourg’s 1967 love affair Brigitte Bardot. A self-proclaimed “jealous lover”, Birkin offered to sing Bardot’s part on the track

…

Once in the Paris bar Castle, Jane threw a custard tart at Serge and then chased him down Boulevard St Germain

I am still surprised that General Leslie Groves was not portrayed by a black actor.

Hans Bethe was a Mischlinge, too. In his case, Gentile German father, Jewish mother. This was not uncommon in the Central European haute bourgeoisie, with the result being that many people didn’t even know they were classified as Jews until the Nazis informed them.

Re, Fermi: it is worth remembering that Italian Fascism was not anti-Semitic until 1938, so Fermi did not have a reason to leave until then. That said, Fermi was the one who experimentally verified the successful discovery of fission in Berlin (Hahn, Strassmann, and Meitner) less than a year before the war started, and he was the one who brought the news across the Atlantic. He could not have been under any illusions about the risk. Nor could Einstein, who had worked down the hall from Hahn for nearly two decades and understood the connections people like von Weizsäcker had in the government.

(Fermi was a truly amazing scientist. He was something we don’t see at all today: a fully fluent theorist and experimentalist.)

It had been a crazy year in Italian physics: Majorana disappeared off the face of the earth not that much earlier.

The national reckoning over racial justice after the killing of George Floyd

My impression is that the term “racial reckoning” has largely been dropped from hard news sections of newspapers (e.g., political news) after the Biden Administration figured out sometime in mid-2022 that the George Floyd craze was a vote loser and put out the word to the MSM to ease off. But the soft sections in the back of the book weren’t CCed on the memo, so still adore the concept of the racial reckoning.

spurred many of the country’s most distinguished institutions into action, few more so than the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Meant to say it on one of the prior AA or crime posts–about 3/4 of Steve’s last dozen posts have been about blacks (their dysfunction and need for help).

The striking thing about the establishments hissy this past few years is just how retro the whole black, black, black thing is.

The East Coast Jews who pipe the tune on this stuff are still see a world of oppressed blacks and racist whites or at least–much more likely–still think this the cudgel for beating the goyim. Theirs is a world of racist flyover Bull Connors Derek Chauvins oppressing the designated minority stand in for the Jews–blacks. You’d think it was 1963, and they were playing “Blowin’ in the Wind” on their turntables.

But the world–America–has moved on. Blacks aren’t even the largest minority. There were 60 million Hispanics–just ones that they were able to count–in 2020. And that’s before the “Biden Administration” went all in on “drown the goyim!” and added 8 million more–far too many blacks, but they are still mostly Hispanics. And there are 20 million–and growing–Asians.

And people do not understand how crazy these immigration numbers are. There are 40-45 million blacks in the US. But they have sub-replacement TFR and a pretty modern age pyramid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans#Demographics
only say 12 million or so of the 45 will be “breeding age”. But the border jumpers–actually under the “Biden Administration” no athleticism is required–are going to be mostly breeding age. People whom once settled will be having children. So the 8 million the “Biden Administration” has already let it in three years will be the breeding equivalent of about half the US black population.

We are a rapidly Latinizing nation–with still a big black minority–why my “slumping toward Brazil” is really handy grab on where we are headed.

The minoritarian yappers are apparently going to keep playing their 60s favorites until they are in the grave. But America simply isn’t that black and white nation anymore. Blacks–like Jews–may not find our “diverse” future quite to their liking.

The obvious way that “Oppenheimer” could have been made more diverse would have been to add Japanese actors portraying ordinary people going about their lives on what would be their last day.

“But critics from an array of perspectives in the film industry have described the standards as the equivalent of tinsel — flimsy and showy — doing more to gild Hollywood’s image than to help people the movie business has long overlooked.”

black supremacists used to call all affirmative action welfare “tokenism,” no matter how many gibsmedats were handed out to unqualified and unfit blacks. The new euphemism is “tinsel.”

You sometimes hear the amusing argument from lefties that “left-wingers were so overrepresented in the Manhattan Project because we’re just smarter.” And: “Communists and Jews were overrepresented because they’re lefties.” This parallels the argument that Jews make about themselves: that they were overrepresented because they’re “smarter.”

Steve wrote (not an actual caption, I think) :

Caption: An image from the movie “Oppenheimer” that shows Cillian Murphy in a crowd that is very homogeneous.

Nolan dodged a bullet at the last minute by cutting out the scene, begrudgingly shot to appease the Academy, of Cillian Murphy reprising his drag persona from Breakfast on Pluto doing a cabaret number billed as “Enola Gaylord”.

I used to think that Steve was being clever, but now, I’m beginning to think that he really is confused about why certain things happen.

Despite almost daily mocking of the MSM, Steve never asks who pays for all of this silliness. I think willful ignorance is a prerequisite for Steve’s class.

I mean, Charles Murray recently tweeted that he couldn’t think of one negative thing about Jews being allowed to rise to their level of prominence over the past 200 years. Not one.

Steve lives in that same world.

There were far less Jews than most people usually think, especially among post WW2 chemistry Nobelists. Of course, among the most important scientists Jews were over 50%, but only specialists (or aficionados) know how many truly essential problems have been solved by whom. The contributions of many famous & significant people have been debated over years.

Actually, it is impossible to ascertain this, because those contributions are not commensurable.

My opinion is that A-bomb (and, later, H-bomb) is one of those breakthroughs that would have happened, sooner or later & that the US had uncanny advantages (big country, safe, vast resources). Just, due to the nature of physics (and other sciences) no similar breakthrough has occurred since. Those who read Clarke’s “Childhood’s End” will know what I am talking about.

Human capability to wage a war did not have any truly new revolution after the A/H-bomb.

I’m waiting.

‘How “Oppenheimer,” a movie about the men who developed the atomic bomb, met the new standards…’

Well, they were Jews. There are a few non-sequiturs packed into that argument — but the goyim will never notice.

They’re too dumb. Ain’t that right?

I mean, Michelle Goldberg, Judith Butler, Gloria Steinem (half), Randi Zuckerberg, Donna Zuckerberg, Betty Friedan, Gloria Allred, Susan Brownmiller, Andrea Dworkin, Shulamith Firestone, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hanna Rosin…

…you blame him?

Um, because they were Jewish.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or just brainwashed.

Its plot — about the classified program to develop the atomic bomb — is centered on powerful and privileged men who work at the nation’s most elite academic institutions.

They could have worked in Louis Till.

More than 250 Hollywood insiders signed an open letter in January imploring the academy to revise its standards to include Jews.

Hey, it worked in the past…

I kid. The real spy at Los Alamos was Fuchs who was a Lutheran Aryan. It’s always the one you suspect the least. Aldrich Ames. Robert Hanssen. Whitaker Chambers. Kim Philby. Real spies don’t attend Communist Party meetings that are infiltrated by the FBI.

You have to look at the period involved. No one gives a damn about the stupid country club but from the 1920s to the 1960s Yale had a Jewish quota.

An Ohio appeals court vacated part of a lower court order that had banned an individual from possessing firearms for a year. Appeals court found lower court order to violate law.

Unfairly selective.

Add Groves to the list of goyim who just fell off the turnip truck. WNs have no respect for white people because they think that they are all like their Uncle Cletus and Cousin Billy Bob, always gettin’ tricked.

Gen. Leslie Groves (MIT & West Point) was not that easy to trick. Nowadays white people have sadly declined and you have idiots like Joe Biden in high office. When people here say that the Jews have tricked him they might even be right.

But in those days Jews had the utmost respect for educated white people and looked upon them as their role models. The Jews were newcomers and didn’t know what was what but the great WASPs clearly had their shit together and were worthy of emulation. Oppenheimer considered Bohr to be a father figure. Even the Jewish socialists greatly admired the great WASP socialist Eugene V. Debs. The Yiddish radio station in NY had the call sign WEVD in his honor.

Simple: Jewish characters dominated the drama and they consider themselves to be nonwhite. Just ask them.

Brother Zero: Saint John of God, Who was Understood by God Alone

It was ever to seem an impossible thing for him to have done, an act completely out of harmony with his nature. An only child, he had lacked nether love nor care nor anything that his modestly, well-off parents could give him. A quiet, self-sufficient child, he enjoyed being and playing by himself. He was not lonely, not a boy to seek adventure beyond the gates of Montemor. Nor was there any need for his parents to be cross and reprimand him for he was naturally obedient. Scoldings and punishments which sometimes provoke a child to rebelliousness and spur him to run away from home were not within John Ciudad’s experience.

How explain it then? Human reasoning produced no answer. It never occurred to John to see it for what it was: God’s strange way of setting him on the long road that was to take him through thirty-three years of wandering before he was to find is true work and his cross, the one that was meant for him from all eternity. His mother, Teresa Ciudad, saw the hand of God in the odd event of his flight from home. The fugitive himself caught no glimpse of the Divine Will in this inscrutable design. A humble shepherd in Spain these many years, John pondered it over and over and became increasingly restless. But where this disquietude was to take him he did not know. Certainly he never imagined that his childhood escape from home and country was a painful preparation for the day when, as a layman supervising other laymen, he would lay the foundations of a great religious Order. Such an idea was as immeasurably remote from his thoughts as was the glow of his little fire on the slope from the diamond-blaze of the farthest star. (Corville Newcomb, Brother Zero: A Story of the Life of Saint John God, Dodd and Mead and Company, 1959, pp. 2-3; I will cite simply the page numbers in each of the references to this book provided in this reflection.)

St John of God, Pray for us!

Meeting the DEI requirements and still making a good movie is simple: make all the ‘diverse’ people “First Officer of DEI”, then send them on a permanent lunch break. Then with the deadweight out of the way, make a good movie.

“Blacks–like Jews–may not find our “diverse” future quite to their liking.”
.
I live in Southern California and can attest the the ascendant asians, mexicans etc. really don’t give ashit about bLack grievance and whining. Only white liberals are weak enough to be manipulated by this group.

My most serious relationship with a Jewess was a lovely girl from a rich family who was the highest scoring white female in the entire USA in the Putnam math competition.

She wasn’t a leftist, but didn’t want children until she was 35+ and said this to me at 23. She was born when her mother was 42 and seemed pretty serious, and is married for 10+ years now without children. No amount of IQ, family money, and the Khazar M’s she was gifted with were worth a sterile future. So I ended it.

My “shiksa goddess” babymama by contrast was born when her mother was 18, and at 24 and single when we met, was feeling like the old maid of her family.

I didn’t think it was serious and it was not original in a good way. If Oppenheimer is considered a good film then I haven’t been lured back.

It was decent enough for me to sit through it without falling asleep. But in the theater I was in, it was so freaking loud that I found myself wishing I had the hearing protection that I’d use when shooting.

When the Trinity test was depicted, at least I was prepared and it was cool. Was Feynman really doing that silly bongo playing after the test? Wonder how many caught that. I know it was a schtick of his, but I’m curious if he was really that goofy. I doubt it (but he definitely had an ego proportional w/ his IQ).

It was a movie. I kept wanting a big-ass bucket of popcorn with extra butter. And hearing protection.

The Hill: DEI killed the CHIPS Act

now approaching the DIE YT event horizon where America is unable to do anything because the diversity rules swallow any project into a black hole.

Samsung and Intel halted their projects. TSMC gave up and opened a factory in Japan instead.

Felix Bloch. Now there’s a guy whose diplomatic career deserves telling. A fascinating yet most banal story. #Robert Hanssen

My uncle (the father of the crazy cousin I mention often) was married to a Jewish woman before he met my aunt. He spoke about the experience in the same kind of hushed tones that a combat veteran might use to describe an ambush in which his entire platoon was wiped out.

The Jew As Informational Leader.

Factual problem…until the 20th century, Jews contributed virtually nothing to science…

One high-profile move involved the academy’s most coveted trophy: To qualify for the best picture Oscar, films had to fulfill a new set of diversity and inclusion standards.

I guess that will cement it: big, prestige movies will henceforth officially be crap.

Its plot — about the classified program to develop the atomic bomb — is centered on powerful and privileged men who work at the nation’s most elite academic institutions.

Academic physicists back then had some privilege, in so far as a it’s a privilege to get paid to do physics. They didn’t get paid that much. And they worked very hard to earn that modicum of “privilege”. But the idea that scientists are “powerful” is just downright stupid. Only a journalist or a college freshman could write something that ignorant of how the World actually works.

Scientists – real scientists, the kind who actually do science (as distinct from technocratic frauds like Anthony Fauci) – aren’t powerful. The oligarch and political class – the people who have real power – view them as nothing more than the hired help.

You have to look at the period involved. No one gives a damn about the stupid country club but from the 1920s to the 1960s Yale had a Jewish quota.

Bah, wah, wah. So what? It was they Wasp’s university. They built it. And they wanted to keep it that way and have it available for their own kids. And heck, they gave you a big ass quota–many times the Jewish population share. Jews annoyed by it? Stop whining and build your own ‘effing university. The Catholics built over 100 of them.

Go ahead, start your verbal bullshitting. Just whine on … and on … and on. The vast Jewish sense of entitlement to other people’s stuff … it never gets old.

It’s amazing I can find only CGI reenactments of atomic bomb detonations, but no film or video.

It’s amazing that so many people now can’t tell the difference between actual film and CGI.

It’s amazing that so many people now are technically and historically illiterate.

It’s amazing that so many people actually believe that the Earth is flat.

It’s amazing that these people are even able to avoid drowing when it rains.

But yes, in general the upward mobility of the Jews was remarkable. I have a cousin thru marriage (no blood relation) and he tells of his grandfather who arrived as a HS age teenager in the early 20th century and very quickly studied up on his English and got into Yale (before they had Jewish quotas) and then Yale law school and eventually became a judge in New Haven. It seems almost impossible to catch up that quickly but they did. I think it’s hilarious/sad when they interview some illegal alien who has been here for 20 years and the interview is in Spanish because in 20 years said alien hasn’t learned two words of Ingles.

Jack, I suggest you spend a moment and contemplate your own paragraph here.

While hardly complete, the bookends alone are telling.

Yeah, America has been very, very good to the Jews.
The reverse … uh … not so much.

Only yesterday someone was saying that Jews control the US media (they don’t).

Are they without influence in the US media? Is that influence insignificant?

‘I kid. The real spy at Los Alamos was Fuchs who was a Lutheran Aryan. It’s always the one you suspect the least. Aldrich Ames. Robert Hanssen. Whitaker Chambers. Kim Philby. Real spies don’t attend Communist Party meetings that are infiltrated by the FBI.’

JackD reveals: not all spies have been Jews.

“.. so they will work together in unison for the big picture.” How’s that usually work for Israel?

Arch WASP Sam Waterston? A little ironic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer_(TV_series)

I’ve watched Season 20, and am watching Season 18, of Law and Order. I have to endure the kicked upstairs Waterston (as DA) in return for seeing a show with Sisto/Anderson/De La Garza/Pierce (Executive ADA) that at least faintly resembles seasons 1 to 4 with Dzundza/Sorvino/Orbach/Florek/Noth/Moriarty (also Executive ADA). S. Epatha Merkeson, Florek’s replacement as LT of the Detectives, is not as bad as Waterston but is miscast. She should guest star occasionally as a school principal.

Waterston would be believable as the AG if the United States in a Democratic administration, at least carter/Clinton and maybe Obama.

Nineteenth century New England textile barons had names like Lowell, as in Lowell MA, and also as in “Boston is a fine old town in the land of Cod, where the Lowells speak only to the Cabots, and the Cabots speak only to God.

The Asian and Hispanic immigrants are certainly an improvement over our native Blacks. They haven’t done much to push the country to the right, though.

Asians come from a culture that traditionally did not place much value on freedom and individual rights. They, along with Hispanics, might support a future socially conservative Republican presidential candidate. It is unlikely they will support a candidate that believes in the limited government principles most Americans believed in during earlier generations. We are not going back to someone like Coolidge or even Eisenhower.

‘Thomm’ is a subcon.

The real spy

Don’t forget the Rosenbergs ……..guilty as hell.

a Lutheran Aryan

Who even uses that word “ayran ” ,unless you are talking about yummy fermented milk products from Central Asia.

The Asian and Hispanic immigrants are certainly an improvement over our native Blacks.

Check out the wretched refuse pouring across the Rio Grande , a lot of Africans and Haitians and who ever thought Haiti could become even more of a hell=hole ,so expect them here soon. What are these people going to assimilate too , I think we know ,the American negro.

Censorship today in Hollywood is the inverse of traditional censorship of the Hays Code variety.
Traditional censorship = removing content.
Modern censorship = adding content.
This modern form of censorship is, in my view, far more egregious in its violation of artistic integrity. That’s no accident: it doesn’t care about artistic integrity and in fact in its sophistication is designed to thwart attempts to bypass the censor.

The 2023 address was quite funny, though… “The owls went out the door behind us, I think”

pyrhhus: “Factual problem…until the 20th century, Jews contributed virtually nothing to science…”

Sailer: “And then they contributed a lot.”

Well, this depends on what your definition of “contribute” is. Are these “contributions” that would have occurred regardless of the presence of Jews – and perhaps even faster without them? For example, there’s the chauvinist assertion above by Thomm that “If all of the world’s people were Ashkenazi Jews, human society would be about 350 years more advanced today than it is now.”

“Oppenheimer” still easily met the diversity requirements for Best Picture.

How? You ought to have quoted that part.

This is every concrete “loophole” used by “Oppenheimer” mentioned in the article:

“Oppenheimer” still easily met the diversity requirements for Best Picture.

It cleared one standard for offscreen hiring because nearly a dozen women held senior positions on the crew, including costume designer, set designer, editor and head hairstylist. At least one senior role was filled by someone from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group: the head of makeup, Luisa Abel, who is Hispanic.

Even without those hiring decisions, “Oppenheimer” would have qualified. That is because its studio, Universal, has created in-house programs, in-career training and audience development that help satisfy the rules for almost every picture it makes.

Since 2021, Universal has operated an extensive crew training program for underrepresented individuals. The majority of Universal movies participate, and “Oppenheimer” was no exception.

Universal, more so than some other studios, also has a diverse marketing and distribution team, including Dwight Caines, the studio’s president of domestic marketing, who is Black. (All of his counterparts at other major studios are white.)

Plus, if everyone is Jewish, there are no non-Jews for them to manipulate, so they will work in unison towards the big picture.

The technological level would be comparable to what we see in Star Trek : The Next Generation. We would have warp drive, replicators, holodecks, and an interstellar civilization by now. We would already have started spreading out across the galaxy. [bold added]

You’ve often been accused of being a subcon, but it seems you’ve (accidentally?) come out as a Jew. Interesting.

Nolan could have flipped his middle finger at the requirements by writing long speaking parts for Oppenheimer’s parents and casting a black man and a trans woman, paid them and put them in the credits, but leaving their scenes on the cutting room floor. The footage could be a special feature on the Blu-ray, making it a must-see. These scenes could be directed by a Hispanic lesbian third unit director using an iPhone.

And Oppenheimer could have maintained historicity by having characters talking to each other while one is getting a shoe shine.

Although I haven’t seen the movie, the book American Prometheus discusses the on-site whorehouse at Los Alamos. They were probably all white women, but it wouldn’t be much of a change to make them “diverse” in the movie (while keeping the young physicist who defended the presence of the prostitutes as a moral necessity Jewish, as he was in real life).

Easy to answer the clickbait title: the Powerful Men are first, Not White, but at the same time American, that made it MAGA for a while.

Some people don’t seem to get it when you’re being faintly sarcastic Steve.

though sadly I missed Top Gun: Maverick.

Top Gun: Maverick was an estrogen-soaked rehash of the oldest and lamest themes in moviemaking. It was absolutely awful. If you can make it through the first 10 minutes and watch Tom Cruise safely “eject” from an experimental aircraft that disintegrates while pushing Mach 11, you’ll have an idea of how accurate the film is with respect to the physics of aviation. If you then watch him just casually steal an F/A-18 Hornet and gatecrash the test range without anybody being the wiser, you’ll know how accurate it was with respect to military practices. And this is all just filler for its extremely thin human-interest story.

TGM was like watching a woman’s idea of what goes on at “airplane camp,” where they imagine the fighter pilots behave no differently than the bickering girls they work with at Target.

That’s the wrinkle in the story. These Jews wanted to incinerate Berlin not Japanese cities.

The Manhattan project was a good way to keep quote a lot of very dangerous people out in the desert together. Lol. It’s true.

Any chance of a Dune 2 review?

The thing I would argue is once the whole society is like that you would tend to see selection for more ‘goyish’ personality types, if only because there is an evolutionary niche that opens up. The Israelis are considerably more macho than diaspora Jews, and most people are adaptable enough to adjust to situations.

Probably after a few hundred years things would be similar to the way they actually turned out as the population adapted to the environment. I guess you might have a slightly higher rate of technical progress due to the higher baseline IQ, but which way that would wind up is anyone’s guess. You might just get nuclear war as everyone figures out the Bomb earlier. It would ultimately depend on when you replaced the world with Ashkenazi Jews, as the higher IQ didn’t evolve until the Middle Ages-ancient Israel wasn’t a particularly unique Levantine kingdom.

That basically seems to be what they’re doing in many cases according to the article.

Derb is right that it should be a letter and not a campaign stumping. But this was a train wreck.

Joan Hinton emigrated to China in 1948 and started working on a dairy farm in Inner Mongolia. She was briefly brought to Beijing in 1952 for the peace conference during the middle of the Korean War. Later on during the 1950s she moved to a dairy farm near Xian. In total she spent 60 years working on dairy farms in China. She was not at all involved in the Chinese nuclear program. As a young scientific assistant at 23 at Los Alamos in 1944, she was probably way too junior to know much.

I do wish the movie featured Joan Hinton. She saw the Trinity test after sneaking out on her motorcycle and was moved by the devastation caused by use of the bombs to leave the US.

Joan Hinton, now 33, was an attractive blonde prep-school girl, interested in horses and sports. At the University of Chicago she became a physicist. She was a junior scientific assistant at Los Alamos when the first atomic bomb was exploded; she and her mother spent happy weeks together in the rough outdoors of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer’s Perro Caliente ranch, although Oppenheimer cabled last week that he did not know them well. By her own account, “something started to stir” in Joan Hinton when the first A-bombs were dropped. “Hiroshima,” she scribbled in a frenzied letter, “150,000 lives. One, two, three, four . . . one hundred and fifty thousand . . . Were we to blame?” Most atomic scientists, far closer to the bomb than Joan Hinton, have struggled with this sense of guilt. Joan Hinton’s answer was to abandon her profession and her country.

In 1948, she forsook her laboratory and fled to the Chinese Communists. For a while she made four-wheeled carts in an iron factory in the mountains of Shensi; soon she was attending a Communist “peace conference” that charged the U.S. with germ warfare. In a letter published in People’s China, she wrote: “The Chinese with their bare hands are building up a new nation; while the Americans . . . are preparing to destroy mankind.”

OT, but here’s a true believer who bemoans the shortage of black woman physicists.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/oct/01/why-are-they-not-on-wikipedia-dr-jess-wades-mission-for-recognition-for-unsung-scientists

“a recent parliamentary report found that only 8% of undergraduates, 1.4% of lecturers and postgraduates, and 0.4% of science professors living in the UK are Black.

She herself is a white woman physicist.

“I’ve had a very privileged upbringing and I came through life thinking no one had barriers,” Wade tells me. She is the daughter of two doctors, she grew up in the leafy north London suburb of Hampstead and attended South Hampstead High School, a selective private school for girls. “I’m not an idiot – I knew racism and sexism existed. But I didn’t think young people in the UK faced barriers studying subjects. And then I got to university at Imperial and everyone was ferociously bright, but very privileged. A lot of students went to private school and in my subject, physics, it was extraordinarily white and extraordinarily dominated by men.” She got quite a shock when she first walked into her department. “It’s not subtle. You notice it straight away – there’s 250 people in a year group and 20% are women and there’s one Black person.”

Of course her biggest privilege came at conception, not upbringing, when two doctors mated to produce her.

I wonder if she ever thinks about either

a) why so many Jews back in the day thrived in physics (and other cognitively demanding subjects) despite often coming from very poor homes?

b) whether there’s any correlation between “very privileged” and “ferociously bright”? I sent children to both state and private schools, and I think there’s a link, especially now selective state grammar schools don’t exist in large parts of the UK.

I also wonder if she’s spent much time in the blacker parts of London? Nothing like learning by experience. Perhaps all the black people she’s met are university types.

One could argue that Groves got the better of those Communist Jews since the bomb ended up being used exclusively on non-whites.

Steve,

Since the discussion of Oppenheimer and Christopher Nolan has descended into a discussion of Jews, you should comment on Adam Schiff winning the real election to be the next Senator from California. Years ago, there was a joke that the great replacement was meant to create a situation where blacks and Hispanics are voting for Jews in a one party state. It seems that California is one of thew few places where that is still true.

But the GDP of the entire EU can’t produce as many 155mm shells as North Korea, which doesn’t even have a recorded GDP!

When you’re comparing military potential, you can pretty much ignore (tho not entirely) the service economy. It’s manufacturing and production that’s most important.

GDP has some weird features in the UK. My employer pays me £x a year, so I tend to assume I’m adding £x + y% to their earnings, or why am I there?

But I paid for my house maybe 10 years ago, it’s quite big and would cost me maybe £2,500 a month to rent. I was paying nowhere near that much on the mortgage, but house inflation’s been so huge I could never afford the place now.

Yet just by living in my house, I’m adding £30,000 annually to British GDP.

https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/02/14/10-or-gdp-is-made-up-it-simply-does-not-exist-in-the-real-world/

Let’s step into fantasy and assume a new administration stopped all new immigration – the Palestinian and Chinese doctors, the Polish and Romanian drivers, they can sray, but NO MAS!

Rents halve within 2 years as a consequence, as some people go home, some emigrate. With a must-have like housing, it doesn’t take much of either shortage or surplus to swing rental prices wildly.

First of all, the Guardian would bemoan the evil racism of the Brits.

But secondly, I and all the millions 0f houseowners, would only pay half as much imaginary “imputed rent”. GDP would drop.

And the Guardian would say it’s because of the lack of new immigrants! Which it is, but only because they drive up rents!

How was Oppenheimer privileged? In what venue could his old man put in a fix for him?

About 3.5% in 1940.

Churchill was bluffing. The British empire was already a shadow of what it used to be, and no match on its own against Germany or Japan. Even the US was not ready, in the early stages in the war, to fight Germany. That is why the USSR did most of the heavy lifting in the European front.

Oppenheimer was secretly a Chinese commie spy, lol!

If I’m not mistaken, Debs family was Alsatian.

About Biden, have a gander at the Democratic pols &c. who set up campaign committees. You had three men who had built businesses from scratch (one of whom had been Mayor of New York), another man who had experience both as a business executive and a state governor, and another man who had been elected governor of a red state. The Democratic primary electorate had no interest in any of these men. Instead, they took an interest in a walking resume with a butt buddy who’d had a perfectly meh record as mayor of a small city, a lapsed prosecutor with a history of abusing subordinates, a quondam law professor whose career had been crucially advanced by affirmative action fraud, and an old Trotskyist (who’d ironically performed satisfactorily as a mayor) railing aganst rich people from each of his three homes. And who wins but a stew of pathology, corruption, and stupidity who had been ignored in 2008 and laughed off the stage in 1987. Here’s your problem: Democratic primary voters are refuse. Their primary electorate is a collecting pool of people who have no interest in authentic accomplishment at all, likely cannot recognize it.

How? They need to psych you up to nuke the Russians. That’s more important than DEI.

Not at Los Alamos but he worked at the Oak Ridge site. He was the one that got away, leaving for the Soviet Union in 1948.

‘I don’t think there is such thing as “Jewish filmmaking”.’

So, so wrong. Jews love making films where people stand around talking at or screaming at each other and there is no plot. Nothing happens. Often there are no scene changes. Preferably including lots of gratuitous and excessive profanity. Unwatchable bilge – unless you’re a jew, I spose.

Sioux City Iowa born n bred. Lol.

Migrate to a new country get to sit in legal judgement of settled locals. The self unawareness of these folks.

“It’s amazing that so many people now can’t tell the difference between actual film and CGI.”

Yup, I left that howler* in my list to hook low-IQ suckers like yourself. Care to address my other, real, points?

*the detonation [sic] of an ‘atomic bomb’ looks identical to any other large bomb, so film of a test detonation proves only that a large bomb was sploded and nothing more

It’s a little more complicated than that. (Fine, I’m a liberal).

The Democratic primary voters, in addition to the lower-class types you note, include a lot of blue-state professionals who have made it through the trying cursus (dis)honorum of professional-managerial class life. They’re not stupid. They don’t respect business acumen, but that’s always been something Republicans liked better anyway.

Are an oncologist from Massachusetts and a programmer from San Francisco stupid, per se? Or simply believers in the current progressive ideology of diversity? (Besides, for all her spurious war paint, Elizabeth Warren was effective enough at ruining financiers’ profiteering they chased her off the CFPB, and her Two-Income Trap from a while back pointed out one of the major unintended side-effects of feminism-working women means two incomes are now needed to compete.)

Obama wasn’t dumb. He wasn’t on your side, but he wasn’t dumb. The only reason Biden got in was they finally realized they needed a white guy and he was the last one left who could win swing voters and not rock the boat (Bernie made the donors unhappy).

“Privileged” is another way of saying rich. I gather that the Oppenheimers were quite wealthy. His father did really really well during WWI, going from just prosperous to “enough money to buy important paintings” money.

My wife’s mother was modestly middle class but growing up she had a wealthy aunt (although not Oppenheimer rich). The aunt had a house in Atlantic City (at that time not a slum) and in that house there was an indoor swimming pool, which made an impression. Her husband had had a contract with the US Army to make puttees – those things that WWI soldiers wore wrapped around their lower legs. The Army needed a LOT of puttees during the war . Maybe before the war, 100 dozen would have been a big order for him but now the Army was asking for 100,000 ASAP.

But they’d starve without farmers.

1. There are 30,000 unique parts in an ICE car, 2000 of which are movable.

By comparison, there are 10,000 unique parts in an EV, 20 of which are movable.

There’s all sorts of random anti-EV nonsense, but Stankovic’s claim here is still facile.

Having fewer and far fewer moving parts is indeed a huge advantage. But that advantage should manifest itself in cost. And yet EVs cost more–considerably more–not less.

At the end of the day it’s a question of the full cycle cost–cost of building, cost of operation, including both fueling (energy) and maintenance–which could include a new battery if required–and even potentially the cost of disassembly. And what sort of comfort. convenience and performance you get for that cost–including better performance of EVs, but much slower refueling.

I expect EVs will win in the end for more or less his overall set of reasons. But it seems to me that for that to happen, there will need to be an improvement in battery technology. Something less expensive and safer than lithium ion, and ideally with faster charging.

I made no reference to ‘lower class types’. My reference was to Democratic voters. Impecunious people who vote Democratic tend to be in one or another ethnic segment (blacks, Puerto Ricans, California Chicanos) or domestic situation (trashy single mothers). I didn’t have them in mind in particular.
==
I’m familiar with ‘blue state professionals’ who are street-level Democratic voters. It’s an identity affirmation for them. They don’t know public policy from tiddlywinks unless it intersects with their job and are unfamiliar with social theory of any kind.

The first part I agree with – America has been very good to the Jews. Before the 1960s there were a few doors closed to them but there were plenty of opportunities that remained and since the ’60s almost no doors have been closed.

But you are blaming “the Jews” for the Mexican guy? Sorry, buddy, “the Jews” didn’t do this. The idea that Jews are the ones responsible for illegal immigration is just another antisemitic canard like blaming them for the slave trade. Responsibility for illegal immigration is diffuse and does not fall solely upon the Jews’ heads.

“Privileged” is another way of saying rich.
==
Only if bad usage is your habit. It means ‘private law’. With some exceptions, wealthy people have to pay their traffic tickets like everyone else.

Whites will never be forgiven for their achievements, simple as.

“And then they contributed a lot.”

Probably the most important contribution is “anti-whiteness” (however it is defined), right? At least that is what you casually imply.

Yep, Steve and many of his readers, especially the Jews, are mentally stuck in the 20th century. For a variety of reasons, they don’t want to face the reality of 2024 America.

In his heart, Steve is a missionary, wanting to raise up the quality of life of blacks by, in essence, forcing them to act more white.

While not creating great neighborhoods, Hispanics just don’t scratch that missionary itch for Steve. They do well enough without him. Of course, Asians and Indians don’t need help.

In addition, Steve loves to debate ideas and policies based on those ideas. Asians, Indians and Hispanics are turning the country tribal. Multiracial societies aren’t about ideas; they’re about tribe and dividing the pie. There’s no place for Steve in that world.

As to the Jews, Hispanics are fine, but they can’t use Hispanics as a weapon against whites like they can blacks. But, more importantly, Asians and Indians are real competition both because they’re smart and because they’re way more tribal than whites.

Asians and Indians don’t care about some story from nearly 100 years ago in far off lands. Asians and Indians just see Jews as a powerful group that they need to deal with, not some special, holy victim.

And that drives Jews nuts. Jews not only want to run the show, they everyone to pretend that they don’t and to praise them for how good and special they are. Asians and Indians just treat them like any other group.

You can see why Steve and Jack would want to stay in the 20th century.

Oh, I get it, you’re saying that the activists who advocate for Gazans are not directly responsible for the actions of Hamas, right?

People such as you describe are often bone ignorant of things they’ve never looked into; university has become a gullibilization for credential; plus there exist nominally “smart” people who, somehow, never read Postman or Lasn, and actually allow themselves to watch and believe the “news.”
So yeah, they’re retards who have no idea what “cover,” is or how to properly fire a rifle, and anyway whatever they “do” can probably be done by AI now. If the last thing holds (the news thing), they won’t even have to be in a ditch come the revolution, it’ll just be a “talking to plants” moment via their favorite news host.

there are 10,000 unique parts in an EV, 20 of which are movable.

This is clearly false. Aside from the motor and the transmission, EVs are largely identical to ICE cars. I can think of at least 20 unique moving parts just in the suspension system and brakes of one wheel of an EV without even trying. Have the people who write this shit ever actually been NEAR a car other than to ride in one? They should stick to bullshitting about things that they actually know about, which is not much.

As you say, the bottom line is the bottom line – how much it costs to make the car, not the number of parts, movable or otherwise. If one of the non-movable parts of an electric car is the battery assembly and that one battery costs $10,000, that outweighs the cost of 2,000 moving valves and valve springs and pistons and connecting rods and what have you that have a average cost of $2 each.

That being said, the Chinese are now turning out electric cars that cost LESS than ICE cars. The electric car will win in the end because it will be cheaper to make (and cheaper to drive), but not for the idiotic reasons mentioned.

You dodged a bullet.

By the way- I didn’t think about it- which is the fertility rate of US secular Jews, i.e. not persons with some Jewish ancestry, nor religious folks? I mean families where both spouses are Jewish.

I guess it is about the same as other middle class whites, although I haven’t seen the data.

The Manhattan Project-era Jewish scientists were generally a bit embarrassed to be Jewish. They were mainly from upper class German / Western European roots, while in the U.S. the majority of Jews were Yiddish-speaking Eastern European rustics. They saw Jewish religious practice as a pile of time-wasting superstition that they – or in a lot of cases, their families multiple generations back – had shed in favor of secularism.

Physics, of course. Oppenheimer actually was terrible at math and chemistry, but, like ya do, the old man put in a word, and, Jack is a d’oh-nut.

Especially the Catholic ones.

That’s the result of decades of intense self insulation.

Was Feynman really doing that silly bongo playing after the test? Wonder how many caught that. I know it was a schtick of his, but I’m curious if he was really that goofy. I doubt it (but he definitely had an ego proportional w/ his IQ).

Bongo- no, that’s rubbish; Feynman was an eccentric, but not an egoist. He was one of the most psychologically mature & selfless persons to grace physics. Always ready to admit others’ accomplishments, never demeaning others, actually very critical about his abilities. A free spirit.

Gell-Mann was a miserable envious midget.

And, yet, Russia has not only withstood everything that NATO has thrown at it, Russia is winning and winning big.

I don’t know if Ukraine will go down as America’s Syracuse, but it has fundamentally changed the world political order.

The US was defeated, both economically by Russia actually thriving under the sanctions and militarily by the tiny Russian economy out-producing the entire West.

America now must live in a world where many nations can punch back hard enough to deter the US from doing anything – and they know it. Should be fun.

I don’t think so. They were prominent in the Golden age of Islamic science where they comprised perhaps 15% of significant figures. George Sarton wrote about it (just, I read about it long ago). In the west, there were prominent Jewish figures in the 19th C in sciences, primarily mathematics- Jacobi, Kronecker, Sylvester,…Hertz in physics. Eisenstein (not a director) was lauded by Gauss, but he died young. Gotthold.

In football news, how will the University of South Carolina cope with the loss of their coach, Lincoln Riley?

He must have told them he was named after Benjamin.

Remembering another important Lincoln in American history

Did Biden make any public statements in 2001 about Ingmar Guandique’s victim? (Ironically, an intern with the Bureau of Prisons.) How is Ingmar doing today? Is he still “undocumented”? (Isn’t documentation part of the job of those interns?)

There are a great many foundationally Catholic colleges (over 200), but only a dozen or so research universities. (BC, Fordham, Catholic University of America, Georgetown, Notre Dame, DePaul, Loyola of Chicago, Marquette, St. Louis, and, just under the envelope, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Villanova, the University of Dayton, and the University of Dallas). The Church was demographically much larger than the Jewish population and had organized manpower and ready forms to build institutions of all kinds. When the religious orders imploded demographically, the Catholic character of these institutions evaporated.
==
In other liturgical bodies, you had an established hierarchy, but it didn’t produce much more than a few teaching institutions. Not sure the Orthodox bodies established anything but seminaries.

Niels Bohr wasn’t on the Manhattan Project.

He spent WWII in occupied Copenhagen after getting all the foreign scientists out of his institute. (Btw, the Danes don’t get enough credit for being the cleverest Gentile nationality in Europe – they managed make their country judenrein by shipping all the Jews out of their territory during WWII and they still get thanked for their actions.)

There was a popular Broadway stage play some years ago about Heisenberg visiting Bohr during the war and trying to convince him to join the Nazi A-bomb project, which Bohr declined to do. (The Munich Project? What should we call it?)

The Israelis are considerably more macho than diaspora Jews…

Who, at least in America, are considerably more “macho” than the cousins they left in Europe. At least if the Schumers and Koches and Bloombergs are any indication. (Or is that just a New York thing? (And LA Clippers owners.))

“With some exceptions, wealthy people have to pay their traffic tickets like everyone else.”

Or get 91.6 million dollars to cover legal expenses—the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group, is floating the money to DJT for his most recent case. In 2018, he appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

Nothing to see here…

Fermi fared a lot better (well, other than the “dying young” part) than his fellow Italian physicist Emilio Segre. At the outbreak of war Segre found himself in the US, but as a citizen of a hostile nation was prohibited from any sort of secret work. Knowing that Segre would be a vital asset to the Manhattan Project, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ernest Lawrence called in all sorts of favors to get Segre cleared to work at Lawrence’s Radiation Laboratory at the University of California.

It was not quite as generous a gesture as it might seem. Knowing that Segre had no other job options, Lawrence proceeded to pay Segre – who was one of the world’s top physicists, after all – a shockingly low salary, by some reports less than the facility’s janitors earned. For the rest of his life Segre deeply resented Lawrence and the University of California.

Niels Bohr wasn’t on the Manhattan Project.

He was also half-Jewish banker on his mother’s side. Not that I care, but that might be important to others here. And to Oppenheimer.

there are 10,000 unique parts in an EV, 20 of which are movable.

You’ll note I didn’t parrot his specific claim, which is obviously ridiculous.

That being said, the Chinese are now turning out electric cars that cost LESS than ICE cars.

Cheaper than American and European ICE cars–sure. Cheaper than Chinese ICE cars? Not sure of that–haven’t seen one-to-one.

The West needs to get off its ridiculous free-trade tic, or it can kiss its ass goodbye.** The Chinese labor cost advantage has narrowed, but it is still considerable and won’t go away obviously until China’s GDP/capita near matches the West, in which case it will be an absolute monster power.

Europe is now killing themselves with “Net Zero” nonsense. Decimating their auto-industry, which simply won’t be competitive with the Chinese imports in EVs.

**Of course, this economic stupidity is absolutely dwarfed by the immigration stupidity, which in a few generations would mean there is no “West” at all.

Stop whining and build your own ‘effing university.

Which the Jews did.

I can think of three right off the top of my head: Yeshiva University in Upper Manhattan, Brandies University in suburban Boston, and Touro College in the New York’s outer boroughs.

There are probably a couple more that I’m forgetting, and these are of course separate from religious seminaries and rabbinical colleges, of which there are many across the land.

In some European countries, traffic tickets are tied to income so the pain is evenly distributed, but in the US they are not. The pain that a $500 ticket inflicts on a poor person is very different than the impact on someone who is rich.

When I was growing up I had a friend with a wealthy dad who was always rushing to meetings and liked to speed a lot. Finally he lost his license on “points” and for the duration of the suspension he had a chauffeur. So while he was not able to avoid the law he was able to lessen its impact.

Later in life he was appointed to be one of the commissioners of the state parkway authority. I can’t say for sure whether this happened or not but I suspect that if he was ever pulled over on that highway the state troopers would have recognized (or been made to understand) that this man was in effect their boss and would have let him off with a warning.

When one of his sons (the brother of my friend) was a young man he was driving a little English convertible sports car with a young lady as a passenger. There was an accident and the young lady was killed. I really don’t know all of the circumstances but there was no arrest. I’m not sure the same would have been true if I had been the one driving, not that I owned a convertible sports car. At that age, I had an old pickup truck that I bought for $300.

“Yeah, America has been very, very good to the Jews. The reverse … uh … not so much”

Says you and your ilk. But you won’t do anything of substance to address it.

It’s quite comical that the wolf continues to ravage an entire flock, and yet those people won’t put up the fence to keep it out entirely, or even shoot it dead. What do they do instead? Remark how the wolf is constantly eating their sheep.

Go ahead, start your verbal bullshitting. Just whine on … and on … and on. The vast anti-white sense of victimhood. It never gets old.

I expect EVs will win in the end for more or less his overall set of reasons. But it seems to me that for that to happen, there will need to be an improvement in battery technology. Something less expensive and safer than lithium ion, and ideally with faster charging.

While it’s still a “lithium iron,” maybe look at the lithium iron phosphate battery. Have been hearing about this chemistry for a few years, and very recently noticed it’s getting a lot of use. As Wikipedia puts it:

Because of their low cost, high safety, low toxicity, long cycle life and other factors, LFP batteries are finding a number of roles…. As of September 2022, LFP type battery market share for EVs reached 31%, and of that, 68% was from Tesla and Chinese EV maker BYD production alone. Chinese manufacturers currently hold a near monopoly of LFP battery type production. With patents having started to expire in 2022 and the increased demand for cheaper EV batteries, LFP type production is expected to rise further and surpass lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (NMC) type batteries in 2028.

In general principles they also have a lower energy density than the NMC type which is good for safety. Compare to non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries which are good for long life applications like the button cell on a motherboard, frequently can’t be legally shipped by air, that I’ve read have a power density greater than TNT, and have heard from an eyewitness are used to demonstrate to servicemen training to be techs how dangerous what they’re working on can be.

I still see one very big problem with EVs and hybrids: the fragility of the batteries and their interconnections. As in, “how do you prove all the battery cells etc. are still good after a crash?” Although I’m guessing just now there may be technological solutions, although they’d add to the cost of a battery pack and its controlling electronics.

In a way this is unfair, because however many parts each of these types of vehicles have, ICEs have had more than a century of refinement and real crash testing compared to modern EVs (early on they were a contender). But that suggests rushing into them headlong is a mistake, even if we can in theory innovate faster today.

But Murphy actually looks more like Oppenheimer than Sam does

Yeah uh huh. They were still circumcised, correct?

AD goes under the assumption that Yale was the WASPs “own” university, which it was not. Early in its history it was a religious seminary but quite soon it became a secular non-profit with students (and donors) from all religions so it did not “belong” to the WASPs or any other group.

Where is Physicist Dave commenting? The guy is intelligent. I think a Nobelist. But we need pattern recognition contra statistics for the Maga Hats…the peak of the comment section is over, because Steve wants to go to main stream. But it is not going to happen.

I tried watching it and stopped after the first few minutes. It’s a small thing, but seeing him drive onto base, on a motorcycle sans helmet, sans safety vest just showed me how silly it was going to be. Anybody who’s actually served knows that you had to have a helmet even in the 80s and in the early 90s they required the safety vest and safety boots to come on base with a motorcycle. And no…it doesn’t matter if you are an O-6. Even a badass O-6. Seems minor, but I knew the thing would just be one orgy of music video silliness, after that little bit. So I turned it off.

P.s. Had an F-14/F-18 pilot as a roommate in San Diego. And went to the Miramar O-club and all that. (It was OK…cheap booze and occasionally some women…but not as crazy as right after TOpGun came out…we did better in PB/MB actually or having “HammerEx” parties after WestPac that somehow attracted minor Hollywood people down…cameraladies are the wildest.) Best story my roomie told was about “Bug”Roach talking him down onto the deck on a really shitty weather day when they kept sending him around because of the deck being fouled, etc. and then he had to tank…which itself was stressful knowing that he really needed the juice. Told the story to another aviator and he instantly knew who I meant when I said “uh, some insect name LSO”:

P.s.s. I did do three weeks for an exercise on the Nimitz though and it really does look like a movie, with the flame coming out of the jets and all. Or I guess the movies look like what it is.

Gangsters are macho.

Niels Bohr wasn’t on the Manhattan Project.

But famously a “Nicholas Baker” and his son “James Baker” visited Los Alamo, the former a number of times. After first meeting Groves, Einstein, and Pauli credibly per Wikipedia. Perhaps one reason Bohr refused to help the Nazis was that the didn’t believe you could do it “without turning your country into an industrial plant.”

Of course he would be most familiar with very small scale of Denmark and by American standards the not too big scale of Western to Centeral-ish or so Europe, so when he arrived in the US he noted we’d done exactly that. Albeit I add in smallish tucked away corners like Oak Ridge for U-245 enrichment and Hanford for plutonium production.

Per (((Otto Robert Frisch))) excellent autobiography, What Little I Remember his son “James” much later also earned a Nobel for difficult work in modeling a nucleus between the low energy level where geometric packing works well and the very excited state where the liquid drop model amazingly works well.

Frisch was one of the most essential men in the path to the bomb, the first and only? to ask if fast neutrons could work and then calculate it. That book also provides more insight into the criticality accidents at Los Alamos which killed two men, and the one that almost got him, than I’ve ever heard before (Frisch was a world class experimentalist, and trusted to do one of the most dangerous experiments done there). We widely hear the first guy ignored the rule to never work alone, but there was also a formally established one to never, ever, hold a neutron reflector over a near critical mass so that if you dropped it it would kill you….

He has almost nothing to say about (((Slotin))), partly reading between the lines I think he thought he was bat-shit crazy or worse, which is my conclusion as well. Frisch’s close call happened because the “student” he was working with freaking unplugged the neutron counter, prompting Frisch to lean over the apparatus without being able to directly, immediately realize his body was reflecting neutrons until the counter was plugged back in. It was later calculated he was two seconds from getting a fatal dose….

If you like Thirty Years Which Shook Physics, (((Fenyman’s))) autobiographies, and/or the first half of Rhodes which covers the development of nuclear physics I highly recommend this short book.

Jews have been great for America. The only way to arrive at your conclusion is:

1. Begin with animus towards the Jews
2. Complain about any aspect of the country that you can (directly or circuitously) blame on the Jews
3. Call out the bad behavior of Jews as representative of “The Jews” (while noting that bad behavior by gentiles is just bad behavior of individuals and not reflective of “White People”)
4. Take for granted all the great contributions and/or assume that in the absence of Jews, the gentiles would have gotten around to it eventually.

This is also how wokesters reason about generic white people

He does good cinema

There actually is nothing to see there.

OT — Prediction — People attempting to get aid to Gaza have become frustrated enough to simply send a boat that way. I predict that eventually Israel will interfere in some way, possibly violently, and this will outrage people.

Mexicans in particular. They carry no white guilt nonsense and see blacks for exactly what they are:
animals.

I suspect if you took an audit, you’d discover that the share of fatal traffic accidents which were followed by a vehicular manslaughter prosecution was in the low single digits.

The article implies that segregation prevented non-whites from participating in the glamorous and prestigious field of physics.

Except, I have always assumed that physics only became a prestigious and glamorous field by demonstrating it could make things go boom at a scale that shamed the chemists. Until the atom bomb, wouldn’t those guys have been considered a bunch of nerds?

No one cares about a field until it becomes glamorous, prestigious, remunerative, but once it does everyone wants their piece. Think about all the dork hobbies that didn’t grow into billion dollar industries. No one complains.

“Oppenheimer” still easily met the diversity requirements for Best Picture.

It cleared one standard for offscreen hiring because nearly a dozen women held senior positions on the crew, including costume designer, set designer, editor and head hairstylist. At least one senior role was filled by someone from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group: the head of makeup, Luisa Abel, who is Hispanic.

Even without those hiring decisions, “Oppenheimer” would have qualified. That is because its studio, Universal, has created in-house programs, in-career training and audience development that help satisfy the rules for almost every picture it makes.

Since 2021, Universal has operated an extensive crew training program for underrepresented individuals. The majority of Universal movies participate, and “Oppenheimer” was no exception.

Universal, more so than some other studios, also has a diverse marketing and distribution team, including Dwight Caines, the studio’s president of domestic marketing, who is Black. (All of his counterparts at other major studios are white.)

I never realized how great a writer Roger Ebert was until he died. Then I was subjected to his replacements on ebert.com.

I have no sense whether I agree with their ratings. I just cannot slog through most of their writing.

I miss Roger and also hate that when you search for him you get so many images of his post cancer appearance. I don’t want to remember him that way. To me he will always be that plump sweater lesbian who wrote so well, and spoke so well.

Also fuck Gene Siskel for the fat jokes. Roger was trying to be a sport; it was never fair for him to require Roger to ask him to stop.

For the rest of his life Segre deeply resented Lawrence and the University of California.

Segre deeply resented everyone.

…and Wikipedia sneaks in a bit of demonstrably false slander and propaganda.

‘…Abram, a carpenter, settled in Sioux City, Iowa, which, at the turn of the 20th century, was home to a sizeable Jewish community of merchants and craftsmen. Many of these settlers moved from Russia, in which Jews had been ruthlessly persecuted under the czar’s anti-Semitic policies and pogroms…’

‘the czar’s (whatever happened to ‘tsar’?)…pogroms’ is a flat-out lie. The tsars did their damnedest to prevent pogroms. It’s an utter canard that they fomented them. See Klier.

*the detonation [sic] of an ‘atomic bomb’ looks identical to any other large bomb, so film of a test detonation proves only that a large bomb was sploded and nothing more

No, it doesn’t.

Okay, so you saw The Mind Benders and think it makes you smart. It doesn’t.

But do enlighten us on the Van Allen Belts, the Firmament, and the Antarctic Ice Wall. And while your at it, also the Hollow Earth, the Plasma Moon, and the Turtles that are “all the way down”.

It’s amazing that damage caused by atomic bombs looks 100% identical to damage caused by Uncle Samantha’s sustained firebombing campaigns of Japanese cities.
