"We are looking forward to Nicholas Payton's contribution to the Berklee community by engaging faculty, supporting students, and developing curriculum," Sean K. Skeete, dean of the Professional Performance Division at Berklee, said in the release. "I believe his experience as a world-class artist and educator will further advance Berklee's reputation as a leader in arts education."

Left unsaid were some of Payton's less glowing contributions to public discourse.

"All these so-called Jews mad, because how dare I make them face the facts of their sordid past and present," Payton said in a video posted to Instagram in July 2020. "So you want to help liberate black people you want to help free us, then free us from amongst yourselves ... expose how Jewish people have exploited us. Apologize for it and atone and do better."

Many of Payton's most incendiary comments came during the fervor of the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.

"Amazing how Jews always have a 'negligible' role in every historic horror that they’ve been irrefutably associated with it. What an amazing coincidence! ALL the other races contain plenty of monstrous psychopaths, but Jews, magically, are clean as a whistle! INCREDIBLE!" read another post Payton shared to his Instagram that same month.

"They still control a large portion of the media and entertainment industry. And I maintain their history in the music business has often been oppressive," he warned in a comment on the post.

In a third video also from July, Payton shared a video claiming that "Jewish slave dealers operated in every place slavery existed" and featured a speaker condemning the "synagogue of Satan."

Calling the murder of 30 000 civilians "bullying" is absolutely psychotic

The thing is, Israel had most of the missiles intercepted. so because there was no "real damage" people will act like this is ok. Israel is a big bad bully, they can take it, so you can attack them freely and they cannot retaliate because you are the poor little mew mew whose citizens get killed because you don't give a crap about their life.

and the big guy attacking the small one is always bad, no matter what the small one did, right?

The prayer: In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes, and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurdwara, and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. The response: Right-wing media launched an all-out assault on Budde that revealed exactly how power plans to deal with dissent in Trump's second term. Fox News host Greg Gutfeld literally called her "Satan." His colleague Sean Hannity described it as a "disgraceful prayer full of fearmongering and division." Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones called Budde’s words “radical leftist.” The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh declared that "hell exists for people like Mariann" and called her "exhibit A for why women should not be pastors, priests, or bishops.” Your choice: Two minutes of love or two minutes of hate.

Another thing that I love about Moon Knight in the Mackay run specifically is how Moon Knight dedicates himself not just to stopping crime, but to helping the community. He says outright that it's very important that people can easily look up the Midnight Mission's address so that people are able to ask the Mission for help even if that also makes it accessible to their enemies. I love how Reese and Soldier aren't just hired help, but community members that Moon Knight has directly helped that also want to give back to the community.

I know that Moon Knight isn't leading any worship since he actively hates Khonshu half the time, but its place in the community is very similar to a religious temple with how it serves as a place of sanctuary for those that need it. It reminds me a bit of the satanic temple in how it's indeed a religious organization, but the focus is charity and political activism rather than worshiping Satan.

It also makes the stakes a lot more poignant because they're actually living in the community that they're protecting. In the OG comics it was only really Jake that had that community connection, but after Moon Knighting and Jake Lockley-ing, they'd go to their giant mansion far away from the everyday concerns for regular citizens.

Now though, Moon Knight has gone from that vaguely threatening vigilante that only appears at night to Mr. Knight: the weird dude who always wears a white suit and mask that lives down the block in a haunted house and fixed my Aunt's cabinets last week, which I think is beautiful.

I have loved how the MacKay run is showing the need to join and protect community. It's a huge step for Marc, who has often run from and rejected any form of community.

I also love how much their group has been about found family.

Now, remember that Marc grew up with life revolving around his Synagogue, since his father was a strict Orthodox Rabbi. In Jewish culture, the Synagogue is huge when it comes to community, out-reach, charity, and support. It is not only required, but considered a blessing to help those who are sick, grieving, or in need. Most of all, a synagogue became a place of safety where Jews could go when times were difficult.

Marc has never been a Khonshu follower/worshipper and knew nothing of the Cult of Khonshu or how their worship was set up. So it makes sense for Marc to fall back on how to create a safe and welcoming place based on what he knows. Sure, you can go pray and worship at a synagogue, but above all functions, it really is a place of community.

Now, it is very interesting that Marc is suddenly looking for community support and building up a safe place for friends and family. Jake was always the one in the OG run that was living with the people and walking the street. Steven kept things apart from where he lived in his mansion, and Marc never let himself be a part of any of it.

I'm wondering if now, Marc is feeling some sort of need for that connection again. He has been a long voyage of trying to figure himself out and finding out what he needs and how to heal, and considering that this run has been the healthiest that I have ever seen Marc be, perhaps his road to healing involves embracing what Jake has been telling him this whole time.

Putting away his put-up-on threatening vigilante side that is known for ultra-violence and ripping people's faces off has been a big step in this. He knows what he is still capable of. EVERYONE knows what he can do. But having him going to someone's house to fix their sink has been a reminder that he is still useful and capable of so much more.

It really is beautiful.

actually it came out that our drummer wasn't actually jewish (we never did a dick check) so we beat him up and circumcised him raw on stage. I know that isn't halakhically valid conversion but we don't really care about that sort of thing.

Jesus faces temptation alone in the desert

1-2 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. After a fast of forty days and nights he was very hungry.

3 “If you really are the Son of God,” said the tempter, coming to him, “tell these stones to turn into loaves.”

4 Jesus answered, “The scripture says ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’.”

5-6 Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the highest ledge of the Temple. “If you really are the Son of God,” he said, “Throw yourself down. For the scripture says—‘He shall give his angels charge concerning you,’ and ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone’.”

7 “Yes,” retorted Jesus, “and the scripture also says ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God’.”

8-9 Once again the devil took him to a very high mountain, and from there showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their magnificence. “Everything there I will give you,” he said to him, “if you will fall down and worship me.”

10 “Away with you, Satan!” replied Jesus, “the scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve’.”

11 Then the devil let him alone, and the angels came to him and took care of him.

Jesus begins his ministry, in Galilee, and calls his first disciples

12-16 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested he went back to Galilee. He left Nazareth and came to live in Capernaum, a lake-side town in the Zebulun-Naphtali territory. In this way Isaiah’s prophecy came true: ‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned’.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “You must change your hearts—for the kingdom of Heaven has arrived.”

18-19 While he was walking by the lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (Peter) and Andrew, casting their large net into the water. They were fishermen, so Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will teach you to catch men!”

20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21-22 Then he went further on and saw two more men, also brothers, James and John. They were aboard the boat with their father Zebedee repairing their nets, and he called them. At once they left the boat, and their father, and followed him.

Jesus teaches, preaches and heals

23-25 Jesus now moved about through the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news about the kingdom, and healing every disease and disability among the people. His reputation spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him all those who were ill, suffering from all kinds of diseases and pains—including the devil-possessed, the insane and the paralysed. He healed them, and was followed by enormous crowds from Galilee, The Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the river Jordan. — Matthew 4 | J.B.

Matthew 4 Bible Commentary - Matthew Henry (concise)

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Gideon Taaffe at MMFA:

During the inaugural prayer service, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde urged President Donald Trump to “have mercy” on undocumented migrants and LGBTQ kids, and right-wing media responded by calling her a “fake bishop” with “deranged political beliefs,” saying her sermon was “heretical” and “satanic,” and claiming she was “forcing left-wing platitudes down everyone’s throat.” 

Budde’s comments about mercy provoked Trump

The bishop leading the inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral made a plea to Trump to “have mercy” on behalf of LGBTQ kids and migrants. “In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” said Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.” She added, “They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues.” [NBC News, 1/21/25]

Trump attacked Budde the next day and demanded an apology. He wrote on Truth Social: “The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. … She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.” [Rolling Stone, 1/22/25]

Appearing on The View, Budde clarified that her responsibility “was to reflect, to pray with the nation for unity” and that her remarks were an attempt to “say we need to treat everyone with dignity, and we need to be merciful.” She stated, “I also realized that unity requires a certain degree of mercy, mercy and compassion and understanding and so knowing that a lot of people, as I said, in our country right now, are really scared, I wanted to take the opportunity in the context of that of service for unity, to say we need to treat everyone with dignity, and we need to be merciful.” She also said she would be open to a one-on-one with Trump, saying, “I could assure him and everyone listening that I would be as respectful as I would with any person, and certainly of his office, for which I have great deal of respect.” [Deadline, 1/22/25]

Faux outrage alert: Right-wing media commentators big angry over Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde asking Trump “have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared” to his face.

[us-cj]

President Trump is correct. I watched her "sermon." She is a liberal LGBTQ activist who flies the rainbow flag and marched for George Floyd and said Trump should leave office. Then, in 2020 when Antifa-BLM tried to burn down her church - she blamed President Trump - when he was the one that actually called to save it.

Who picked her to say this Communist garbage to President Trump from the pulpit:

"In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on people in this country who are scared now. There are gay and lesbian transgender children among Democratic, Republican and Independent families. Some fear for their lives.

And the people who pick our crops, clean office buildings, labor in poultry farms & meatpacking plants, wash dishes after we eat, work night shifts at hospitals - they may not be citizens or have proper documentation - but most immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues and temples.

I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. That you help those who were fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands. To find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger. For we all want strangers in this land.

May God grant us strength & courage to honor the dignity of every human being. To speak truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God. For the good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen."

BEN CARSON: "These are words you would expect to hear from a barista, not a Bishop. She isn’t brave, or strong, or a unifier. She’s another pawn of the left whose Trump Derangement Syndrome has blinded her from truth or reason. She’s an activist. It’s disgraceful on many accounts."

FRANKLIN GRAHAM: "The National Cathedral has fallen into the hands of LGBTQ activists. So, it's not surprising this "lady bishop" spewed hate at Donald Trump today. National Cathedral has become a sanctuary of Satan."

GIORDANA: "Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a lesbian radical woke & DEI activist who believes she is chosen by God to scold President Trump regarding his TRANS policies."

MATT WALSH: "Just take one look at this witch and you know everything you need to know about her, even before she starts talking."

MEGYN KELLY: "Trump & Vance handled it perfectly - total class. This “bishop” who apparently prefers we mutilate children in the name of gender ideology & allow young girls to get gang raped by illegals at our open S border, however, is a rude, ignorant, TDS afflicted hack."

SCOTT ADAMS: "Lesbian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde chose to pander to the LGBT whose movement has been wrecked by trans mental illness. She’s the same B who trashed Trump for saving her historical Episcopal church from burning to the ground after Trump hating liberals set it on fire."

CHARLIE KIRK: "Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She's the first woman to hold the position. She was given a great honor today, a chance to unify America around a Christian message at the dawn of a new administration. Instead, she disgraced herself with a lecture you'd hear on CNN or an episode of The View. What an embarrassment."

PAUL SPERRY: "FEC filings reveal Mariann Budde & family have given exclusively to Democrats and collectively contributed several thousand dollars to Kamala, Obama, Biden. While she claims to champion the poor - property records show she lives in a $2 million+ colonial mansion with 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in a leafy DC neighborhood. Her church claims that it receives no operating support from the federal government, but it does get grants from the federally funded nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation. Her family funded George Soros, worked for OBAMA FOR AMERICA and with Jack Smith at the Hague."

ERIC METAXAS: "Exactly WHO is responsible for setting the trap of Pres Trump attending that ridiculous service to hear the preposterous "bishop" insult him and the American people? Can we get to the bottom of that one ASAP? Seriously. We need answers. Who???"

Did the hack Bishop know that Trump danced with the VILLAGE PEOPLE the night before his inauguration? Did they look scared?

Scott Bessent, Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, an openly gay man, defended Trump and wrote this today:

Smear Campaignin American English

noun

a campaign to tarnish the reputation of a public figure, esp. by vilification or innuendo.

Smear Campaignin British English

noun

politics

a deliberate attack on somebody, by spreading an untrue and unpleasant rumour about them, or by making an accusation intended to damage their reputation.

The evil party has been doing that to Trump since he began to run for office and it has not stopped. They also do it to countries like Russia, China, North Korea, Iran who do not want to go along with the EU's and WEF's one world government. The United States is the strong arm of these evil entities who want to control all of humanity.

Think about it... Do you think all these countries would be like this if they were left alone? Evil lives here and it's the Zionist Jews (the fake Jews) the Bible speaks about that are leading the way. 👇

I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2:9

Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie. Revelation 3:9

Many have been led astray by the synagogue of satan and the apocalyptic time is near that the wrath of God is coming for them.

ARE YOU PREPARED? Many are not ready for what is coming. 🤔

[sophieinwonderland]

Sophie, of course Jews are not satanists but you’ve got to understand the idea that Jews are satanic and perform satanic rituals is literally centuries old antisemitism, going back to before the eleventh century. White supremacists frequently refer to Judaism as the synagogue of Satan. Do you know what blood libel is?

Saying “um you do know Jews aren’t Satanists” in response to criticism about antisemitism is either intellectually dishonest or just ignorant.

Sure, but that doesn't mean the Satanic Panic was primarily about Jews. The idea of secret cults of Satanists has been around for centuries. Much of the same accusations that have been made about Jews and Satanic cults in the 80s have also been made about witches who were believed to be consorting with the devil for hundreds of years.

The tropes about witches eating children, to be fair, likely sprang from the blood libel and antisemitic tropes. But it's complicated, and we're talking about beliefs that had evolved over centuries. So even if they had related origins historically, these origins would have been largely forgotten by the culture in the 80s. (And not particularly easy to research pre-internet.)

The Satanic Panic was hundreds of years after the Salem Witch Trials, where accused witches were said to be consorting with the devil and cannibalizing children.

These ideas were ingrained in our cultural idea of what a Satanist was in America.

Again, it's complicated. Because if you go back hundreds of years, you would probably find that a lot of the tropes surrounding witches were probably based at least in part on antisemitic tropes. But I think these diverged pretty significantly over time to the point where I don't believe hardly anyone, aside from the most fringe groups, actually considered their fears over Satanist cults to be related to Judaism at all.

You say I'm being intellectually dishonest. But I think it's intellectually dishonest to describe the Satanic Panic as primarily antisemitic when the majority of the people involved likely weren't associating Judaism with Satanism at the time. And to the point that antisemitic tropes were involved, these tropes have been associated with fictional Satanic witches for centuries and were largely divorced from whatever association with Judaism they originally had in the public consciousness in America.

And in regards to RAMCOA, I find this particular talking point to be incredibly manipulative.

"Don't use RAMCOA because RAMCOA is related to Satanic Ritual Abuse which came from the Satanic Panic and the Satanic Panic was antisemitic because Jews have been accused of being Satanists before, therefore you're being antisemitic for using RAMCOA."

Let's all be 100% clear on what's going on here.

The anti-RAMCOA side is trying to emotionally manipulate cult survivors into not using accurate language because of tenuous connections to antisemitism.

And I don't particularly like how calling the Satanic Panic as a whole antisemitic, for the purpose of manipulating cult survivors into not identifying with RAMCOA, perpetuates associations between Judaism and Satanism that should never have existed to begin with.

I don't see how accusing people who talk about Satanic cults of antisemitism could possibly do anything but cause harm to the Jewish people who I assume would be happy to not be associated with Satanism at all.

Which brings me to one final point:

This particular talking point is disguising itself as being in support of Jewish people. But it's not. What it is, is anti-cult survivor.

The state of Israel is one very big lie

The state of Israel is one very big lie who used the bible to support it, a book that was written thousands of years ago, yet the the state of Israel isn't even a hundred years old. The Zionist movement was created by Theodor Herzl - not only was he not Jewish, but was an atheist who happened to read the bible and realized how powerful religion was and concocted a way to put it to use. The history books skip over the part where a large sect of Jews paid Hitler millions of dollars to be transported to Palestine where they would create their new Zionist state where one had already existed, just like they did it in the bible thousands and thousands of years ago. Eastern European Jews, often referred to as Ashkenazi, Turkic, from the land of Khazar, a nation that converted to Judaism in hopes to save their nation from defeat but were defeated anyways; Who became an outcast people all across Europe and have absolutely no blood line to the land of Palestine that was once called Israel, now claim to be decedents of Abraham, but are not.

The real Jews however where now called Philistine after their last defeat by the Romans. The Romans decided to get rid of them all together by renaming Israel to Philistine, later, re-interpreted as Palestine. Palestine is Israel and the state of Israel is fake created by a man who didn't even believe in God - Those of you who believe that the words of revelations are coming true today - well here's one for you:

"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you." Revelations 3:9

Zion by the way represents the Kingdom of heaven on earth. What do you think Jesus was talking about when he said:

"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12

I don't know about you - I find it hard to believe that our creator God would encourage the killing of its own creation, all, innocent women and children. Did not Jesus teach that God was our Father full of mercy and forgiveness. Here is something that isn't taught in churches today. Recently (within the last 20 or 30 years) the dead sea scrolls were discovered that contained scriptures not found in the bible that spoke of a false god - could this be the same god that ordered all the Philistines to be killed, including women and children? Surely this isn't the same Father Jesus taught us about?

You want to know something about these dead sea scrolls, they were held by the Essen. (A Jewish Sect by the way) Probably the most righteous people who ever lived on this earth. They hid these scriptures for future generations knowing that they were about to be killed, and they were, completely wiped out by the Romans. The word never dies but the people did, and this word I believe should be read and studied in every church around the world, because this word was saved for us today, and that's the truth.

OH - and by the way, do you know where the bible came from? The Roman Catholic Church that would later replace the Roman empire. You may not believe in conspiracies, but maybe you should. #Israel#palestine#Jews

Hatchetfield Jewish headcanons!

Based on surnames and some unrelated headcanons.

*After Jane died, Tom really wanted to keep the Jewish traditions for Tim, but he had zero clue what to do, so he called Emma. She also had no idea what to do, but she tried her best.

*Ruth and Richie make fun of Pete for being the only goy in the squad. Everyone just assume he's Jewish, and that makes him really confused. Also, Ruth unironically ships Tanakh characters.

*Shapiro has a Jewish dad and a Catholic mom, so she got the Jewish surname and the Catholicism. She breaks the glass in her and miss mullberry's wedding. Miss mullberry is also Jewish.

*at one timeline Steph finds Solomon with the black book or something and blames him for encouraging the stereotype that Jews worship Satan.

*Dan Reynolds is Jewish. I have no reason for this.

*the following conversation happened at some point.

Emma: and I'm not going to let some republican, Christian old man-

Bob Metzger, offended: Christian????

Emma: ....

Bob: there's ONE synagogue. How did you never see me there???

Emma: I was smoking outside???

Bob: we're a big family! My grandchildren were outside! Our last name is Metzger!!

Emma: ....sorry. A republican old man.

Bob: there you go.

*Karen Chasity is very upset about having Solomon lauter as a mayor. Sam sweetly as well. I just know these two would want a Christian mayor.

*Daniel/stopwatch invites the other kids to celebrate Jewish holidays with him. Sophia melts some candlesticks and Hannah starts having visions when they read the Haggadah, but they still had a great time.

Characters that deserve an honourable mention:

The spankoffskis sound very Jewish, but we know ted is a Christian, and they both went to a Christian summer camp.

Linda says "mensch", but with the implications of the rich bitch being Jewish? No thanks. Plus she has way too much Christian symbolism in her character. My headcanon is that she heard Jews were controlling the media so she started using Yiddish slang to look richer. I'm sorry, but she would.

I love Gary Goldstein, but he is a walking stereotype.

Braius' backstory stuff

This post isn't going to be a "no fun allowed" one but I do think it's important to re-contextualize Braius' backstory because once we do, we can realize how sad it really is.

As viewers, Jester and Nott/Veth's prank was hilarious because it was such a clusterfuck of a series of events and seemingly no one got hurt.

However, in-universe, what they did was incredibly sacrilegious and if you look at it from a religious point of view it was incredibly fucked up.

Not the best analogies but defacing Bahamut's statue by using Tiamat's colors is like the real world equivalent of e.g. going to a synagogue and drawing all over the scrolls of the Torah, or leaving an image of Muhammad in a mosque, or turning the cross with Jesus on it upside down and drawing "satanic"/occult symbols or phrases all over it in a Christian church.

As a follower of a lawful good deity, Braius got incredibly lucky because he ended up being "just" excommunicated instead of getting executed for failing to protect the temple.

Again, as the viewers/audience, we know Jester and Nott/Veth weren't trying to do any real damage, they just saw it as a good but the Platinum Dragon's church didn't and doesn't know this so they took everything at face value and it's not hard to conclude that it was a deliberate act of aggression from a possible cult or group of people who are enemies of Bahamut.

There were worshippers in the temple as well and had any of them died, it would've cast the church into a bad light, sending the message that the Platinum Dragon's church can't even protect innocent people when it's literally one of Bahamut's commandment to defend the weak.

Knowing King Dwendal, the church's diplomatic relationship with the Dwendalian Empire could've been jeopardized as well.

Braius is rightfully angry, resentful, and bitter about the situation because he literally did nothing wrong and got punished for it. In his eyes his punishment was unfair and it is but Bahamut's church responded the only way it could without losing face or going against the Platinum Dragon's tenets and commandments.

I know Sam gave Braius' backstory as a callback to Campaign 2 and to make the other players laugh but I think Matt probably thought it through what it meant in-universe and will plan accordingly.
