But in some way, you can almost be sympathetic.

speak for yourself

he could have told ZOG’s emissary, Johnson, to pound sand. That he would not personally preside over the senseless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of his so-called countrymen.

Instead, he did so for personal gain, and now he deserves to hang.

Who will bell the cat? Even if he escapes to Israel to nurse his estimated $1.6 billion loot might some vengeful ex-Ukrainians murder him? Putin promised not to assassinate him, but if a Russian court sentences him to death and Israel refuses to extradite him, would the Russians send special forces to kidnap or execute him, or would he always be able to play his Jewish Get Out of Jail Free card?

Sorry, Pilleater is a fruitloop (possible Necronomicon devotee AND occult malapropism generator), he nearly had a cow, man (actually I think he did! - Moby Dick!) after Rurik's insightful comments from 39:37

Derrida - Oh Christ!

Fun fact: Mysticism literally means to keep the (your) mouth shut. Not easy to find.

Marcel Proust should be read, at least his first book 'Swan's Way," in his many volume series of "Remembrance of Things Past." it is so very witty and tender. but Proust was a tortured half-jew who made as much use of the torah, the zohar and OT and longing after his jewish mother, while basically bed ridden his entire life, a hypochondriac searching to retrieve lost memories. he referred to 'zionists' as sodomites throughout the series while at the same time wanting personal inner reconciliation with his own (homosexual) jewishness. a beautiful writer, amazing thinker, who only emerged from his bed during the Dreyfus Affair (of course). I just don't see how his work can be compared to sci-fic stuff and it's interesting that some are doing so.

I have only just begun reading The Book of the New Sun, a great interview, thanks for doing it. Musing on the eating of Jesus’ flesh and blood ritual known as communion to achieve eternal life, and the Autarch eating the brains of his ancestors to achieve eternal memory. Whitley Strieber named his book about alien abduction ‘Communion’. And “blood libel”, well, you know. Makes you wonder. I appreciate your wide ranging explorations, Urik.
