Sabbatean-Frankism as the Paradigm of the Modern Left
February 19, 2019
[Introduction] What do all these influential intellectuals all have in common?
1.Communism (Marx)Sexual
2. depravity (Freud)
3. Corporate Leftism (Bernays)
4. Multiculturalism (Horace Kallen)
5. Deconstructivism/Critical Theory (Walter Benjamin)
6. Frankfurt School (Adorno)
7. Radical jurisprudence (Brandeis, Frankfurter, and Cardozo)
8. Large-scale, non-selective immigration (Israel Zangwill, Emma Lazarus)
They are all linked to Sabbatean-Frankism, a distinct quasi-Satanic schism within Jewry. The extraordinary prevalence of Sabbatean-Frankist influence among top Jewish intellectuals from 1850-1950 makes it statistically impossible to deny its role because of the impossible coincidences.
The Sabbatean-Frankists sought to invert traditional Jewish-Christian values, including the 10 Commandments, restrictions on debauched sexuality, man’s dominion over the environment, etc. Further, given Sabbatean-Frankism’s apocalyptic nature, the modern Left is riven with irrational destructive impulses.
This general thesis has been explored by historians Paul Johnson and Gershom Scholem, but never in such detail. There are several implications of this thesis:
The failures of the contemporary Left do not represent “good faith” secular humanist efforts gone wrong. It is very possible that Freud, Marx, and other Sabbatean-Frankist intellectuals purpose-built their ideas to destroy the West.The US Supreme Court was heavily influenced by Sabbatean-Frankists. Their impact help cause a revolution via court fiat in the 50s-70s that undemocratically imposed decadent/anti-Judeo-Christian (i.e. Frankist) values on the country.Since the Left is fundamentally a quasi-Satanic movement devoted to destroying traditional Judeo-Christian civilization, it is a natural ally with like-minded Islam, despite superficial differences (feminism, gay rights). Islam and the Left will seamlessly cooperate to destroy the West as they cooperated to topple the Shah in the Iranian Revolution.
Any civilization will eventually grow contemptuous of its stern founding virtues. Sabbatean-Frankism’s resonance is part of a cycle where civilizations grow complacent and ultimately self-destructive.
I'm still learning about all of this stuff, myself, but it IS based on historical evidence. All I know for a fact, right now, are two things:
1. OUR American media is nearly completely owned by Israeli citizens aka wealthy Jewish families and/or corporations also owned by wealthy Jewish families, as is all of Hollywood.
2. THEY are the ones pushing Trump while doing everything possible to dismiss another Biden presidency, which would repeat the history of Hitler. He lost power, then came back, enacting a Holocaust.
Both of these are undeniable facts. MSM wants the United States to burn.

I do not now, nor have I ever, expected Gideon to take a principaled stance on the forever war. I just don't think it matters to her. Ostensibly she's on her dad's side because her dad has been on a parenting kick lately, and the best she ever got from her mum was goodbye with a stay of execution. But if she were confronted with the ethics of the situation? Asked her opinion? I don't think she'd have one. She may be a prince, but at heart she's still the abused eighteen year old girl who fought tooth and nail to join the army just for a way out
#we've got other characters to have political opinions#paul. coronabeth. ianthe. even pyrrha#gideon is as she has always been—in survival mode#she has the political consciousness of an eggplant emoji#and I don't think that's changing any time soon#I don't WANT that to change any time soon#she neither deserves nor is equipped for large-scale ethical responsibility#the locked tomb#gideon nav#kiriona gaia#ntn spoilers#nona the ninth

Take your pick, which is scarier: the guy with the sword [sword not pictured], or the guy getting mad at you for hurting the guy with the sword?
There's not so much of a cohesive storyline on this one, just.. Damian getting injured in a large-scale attack and Jon rushing immediately from the other side of the city to be like, "D is this guy bothering you?"
[omg me when I realise I didn't put a mask on Damian HAHA it's uhhh it's intentional uhhhhhhhh it's an artistic choice uhhhhhh imagine he's wearing it rn HAHA]
#damian: not super bothered tbh#jon: so bothered. so so very bothered.#if Jon gets injured Damian is going to turn assassin mode back on#if Damian gets injured Jon is going Scary Dog mode#because uh yeah they are#bonus points if they had a fight before this large scale attack but the fight does NOT stop Jon from saving pookie#that's his POOKIE his BESTIE his SOULMATE his BRO his LIFE#literally best friends or lovers or whatever they are so locked in with each other#digital art#fanart#screentone#manga style#art#damijon#jondami#i love the name damijon bc it makes me think of dijon mustard and that makes me laugh! funfact!#damian wayne#damian al ghul#jon kent#jonathan kent#superboy#robin dc#also disclaimers: don't want to study outfits and I drew these with my heart#don't want to draw a sword so imagine it's discarded to the side or he dropped it or something (rip)#they're older here imo but idc how much older#and I like the idea that they both take after their mothers in build so they're both slimstrong#instead of bulkstrong like their dads#just realised dami has no mask on I'm screaming crying throwing up#illustration

"When politicians unveil a new national park or wilderness area, it’s often accompanied by debates about what effect it will have on the livelihoods of people living nearby. In some places, it can be welcomed as a boon, attracting tourists and their dollars. In others, it’s booed as a job killer, squelching the chance for new mining, grazing, logging or other industries.
As nations promise to nearly double the amount of protected land on the planet, from 17% to 30% of the Earth’s surface, these debates are likely to happen more often. Now there is new evidence that it’s possible to have both land protections and a growing economy. But it’s not guaranteed. “Achieving both aims is more common than we previously expected,” said Binbin Li, an environmental scientist at Duke Kunshan University, a Chinese institution affiliated with Duke University. “But that balance depends on socioeconomic conditions near a protected area.”
It can be hard to tease out causal links between two things as complex as the changing condition of a landscape and the economy of a nearby city. Did a town flourish because of a nearby national park, or because an increase in remote work enabled people to move there? Did another town collapse because a forest reserve contributed to the demise of a sawmill, or was it part of a bigger downturn in the timber industry?
To try to clarify the effects, Li and colleagues at Duke University and Shandong University in China compared the fates of “twin” towns and cities, as well as comparable patches of land. They identified more than 10,000 protected areas in countries around the globe, then examined how economic activity changed in nearby settlements between 2013 and 2020, compared to similar settlements more than 20 kilometers from any protected land. They also matched the protected area to similar nearby unprotected areas, to see if they fared differently.
The scientists used satellite images to track changes on the landscape, such as forest turning to farmland. They also tracked changes in the amount of nighttime artificial light as a surrogate for economic activity.
The satellite images revealed that in many cases, more trees and grasslands stayed standing and the lights shown more brightly at the same time. In about half the protected areas, there was simultaneous progress in both conservation and economic development, the scientists reported on June 20 in Current Biology.
Land protection was broadly successful at reducing the loss of forest and grasslands – more than 90% of the protected areas either lost no natural land cover, or less than their unprotected twins, the researchers found. At the same time, 60% of neighboring communities had as much or more of an increase in nightlights than places further from protected land...
Land protection and economic growth went hand in hand most easily in wealthier countries, around smaller protected areas, and in places with some of the infrastructure critical for economic development, such as roads. In places without these features the ecological fate of the land and the economic fortune of nearby towns was more likely to diverge or decline together the researchers found.
“Conservation does not happen in a silo,” said co-author Stuart Pimm, a Duke University ecologist. “We must consider local development alongside biodiversity conservation to know where and how to protect areas to benefit both the environment and humans.” ...
The results underscore the ways in which poverty and environmental degradation can be bound together. If poverty isn’t dealt with, creating protected areas could set the stage for both loss of biodiversity and economic development, the researchers warned. The flip side is that with careful planning, conservation could help set nearby towns on a path out of poverty. As an example, the scientists pointed to Costa Rica’s Corcovado National Park, which has become a hub for ecotourism on the country’s Pacific coast.
“We need to get to a win-win outcome more often, especially in the most biodiverse regions that can ill-afford losing out on economic development or biodiversity,” said Li. “We cannot address biodiversity loss without addressing local development issues.”

Prompt 262
Pondering Ghosts are Dragons, and just rotating each design in my head I have for them. That is the ghosts we see in the show more than just once or twice lol. Just pondering each of them and potential types and descriptions and how the people of Amity see them, as they’re used to the dragons around, vs say someone from Outside, crossover or no, who are Not used to the maybe slightly eldritch undeath interdimensional dragons around everywhere.
That is not normal for other people.
To the Amity Parkers? Boxy is simply a chonky dragon with small boxy wings and covered in blue scales. To people just coming into the city, it’s like seeing a giant komodo dragon when you’re just walking home- not something you exactly want to see and something that is dangerous.
Kitty’s and Johnny’s weekly relationship tussle? Par for the course really. But to visitors? Two giant wyverns tearing into each other, shimmering greens that could be scales, could be tendrils, and shadows lengthening and thrashing like a living beast all its own.
And this is just the small dragonlings, not even beginning with larger ones like Pandora and Fright Knight, chill as they may be.
Outsiders don’t understand that they’re more than just animals. Amity is used to this, but people who have no clue what’s going on? They don’t.
They call the police, the heroes, the government, for help, for answers. And that? That the GIW can use.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Danny Phantom Crossover#Ghosts are Dragons#Guys in White#Of course the GIW quickly find out they can’t just spirit the ghosts away either#Because people want ANSWERS and the biologists & cryptozoologists are Both going RABID#Not to mention it’s hard to even get into Amity with how the locals *Hate* them along with the dragons#Several heroes & rogues enter the city to investigate on their own#... right on a day Pariah is visiting his adopted ghostling#GIW might make an itty bitty mistake there…#Danny is not ghost king#Pariah Dark x Clockwork#CW is long sinewy serpentine dragon with many small legs & large wings#PD is big bulky western-style dragon w/ forward facing horns & mostly dark scales#Danny is tiny noodly western dragon w/ same swirl patterns as CW & dark scales as PD#Every other ghost assumes he’s bio theirs & they’re pretending he’s not because the Observants#Yes there is potentially 2 or 3 storylines happening at once lol#Fright Knight is Pariah Dark’s brother#He lacks wings but has big gliding fin-webbings & blade tail

I’ve talked about this before but imagine what it’s like for someone in a country/place where eliot is Top Most Wanted and then your tech guy finds a breakout star baseball player on their visual scanner that looks EXACTLY like spencer. but…there’s no way that’s him, right???
and then the next year it happens again but this time it’s some one hit wonder country singer kenneth crane that has like 78 tween-run fangirl blogs dedicated to him. you see a grainy video of him being chased by a horde of screaming teenage girls and ??? no way Eliot Last Thing You’ll Ever See Spencer is a country singer star just. signing pictures of his face right…?
a few months later your intern shows you footage of an eliot lookalike who is in san lorenzo talking about how there is dog fighting in the presidential palace and you just. sigh. because of course. a scant few days later the political geography of the country changes drastically and damien moreau is imprisoned. …interesting
and then a year of silence goes by. he still shows up as blips on the radar but he must have a good hacker working for him because his tracks on the internet are expertly erased.
every time you ask through interagency channels some random interpol guy talks in (condescending?) riddles at you and it also somehow feels like he’s threatening you
and then your friend who recently got into foreign hockey teams sends you a dropyourgloves video of someone called jacques the bear. you immediately get a headache (and watch some more videos because even you can admit this guy is a good hockey player)
and you know he’s a Bad Guy but it’s been admittedly a bit entertaining seeing what claim to fame he will come upon next. and his most recent actions over the few years make you wonder.
a few months later your phone pings because multiple heads of state evacuated from DC. the reason? eliot spencer was in town. you hear two days later a bioterrorist was taken down by… the report was redacted. your hacker tells you spencer and two teammates were behind the successful operation. which, huh.
not even a full year later it is released that spencer is dead and… you don’t know how to feel.
#sorry this turned kinda angsty I just think eliot famousaliases spencer is a great reoccurring joke#eventually an indeterminate amount of months later you see him pop up again and you breathe#at this point all the intel you’ve gotten points that he’s actually doing something good with his life#like he’s changed. and you know he’s a bad guy but he’s doing things that nobody else is really capable of doing. making changes on large#and small scales#he will face consequences eventually you are sure. but his tracks are so well covered already and he’s so slippery so maybe. maybe you just#don’t make your agents work so hard to track him down#you get to know sterling a bit better (and maybe understand him a bit better too)#sterling invites you to an off the books lunch at this brewpub in portland when you’re in the states. the head chef looks familiar#it’s the best food you’ve ever tasted. because OF COURSE it is#at this point you’re not even angry. or resigned anymore. you’re slightly impressed#anyways that’s how sterling’s leverage club gains another member#(mcsweeten was the second member btw. if you’ve seen my other posts)#eliot spencer#eliot spencer meta#headcanons#humor#leverage#jim sterling#(mentioned)#the studio job#the blue line job#the three strikes job#ficlets#mine#a post not on my queue??? more likely than you think#I should make a tag for in universe pov posts#into the leverage verse#headcanons in the tags#the rundown job
