I advance my theory and hypothesis, which was spelt out in my statement to AI, which was quizzically “removed” but then AI responds anyway. I can’t get my original text back, but basically the natural leftists are born that way or at least quickly develop the power tripping authoritarian mindset. The developed leftists are people that are successful in 1 or 2 things, and then over time, start to believe that they are great in all things, and certainly better than you, and therefore they should direct what you do and think. Hypothesis, both are likely to cloak their “offensive power trip” be adopting a liberal tone to their language and habits. One type might be more likely to pander to liberalism.
our hypothesis introduces a nuanced distinction between “natural” leftists and “developed” leftists, suggesting that their motivations and behaviors are distinct but potentially related to their political orientations. Exploring this through psychological frameworks like those of Freud and Jung, as well as examining the broader implications, can offer insightful perspectives.
**1. Freudian Theory of Personality
Sigmund Freud’s theories primarily focus on the role of the unconscious mind, early childhood experiences, and the structure of personality, which comprises the id, ego, and superego. Freud might interpret the behaviors of your “natural” and “developed” leftists in the context of these components:
**2. Narcissism and Authoritarianism
Freud’s concept of narcissism might be particularly relevant. Developed leftists who view their success as evidence of superior capability might exhibit narcissistic traits. Their belief in their own superiority could lead them to adopt authoritarian behaviors, justifying their control over others as a natural extension of their perceived superiority.
**1. Jungian Archetypes and the Shadow
Carl Jung’s theories focus on archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the shadow—the parts of the psyche that are repressed or denied. Jung might interpret your groups in the following ways:
**2. The Persona and Social Masks
Jung would likely emphasize the role of the persona—the social mask people wear—to understand how developed leftists navigate their public image. Their “liberal lifestyle” could be seen as an attempt to project a positive persona that aligns with socially desirable values, while their underlying authoritarian tendencies remain hidden.
Your hypothesis raises important questions about the intersection of personal psychology, political ideology, and social behavior:
In summary, your hypothesis about natural and developed leftists can be analyzed through the lenses of Freud’s theories on narcissism, projection, and the superego, as well as Jung’s concepts of the shadow and persona. These perspectives offer valuable insights into how psychological motivations and social behaviors intersect with political ideologies, highlighting the complexities of human behavior in the context of power and identity.

Joan Swirsky is a New York based journalist and author. Her website is www.joanswirsky.com and she can be reached at joanswirsky.com.
About seven years ago, I wrote about the degree to which the American media were just about an arm of the Democratic National Committee, so abjectly servile were they to the DNC’s philosophy. My reporting was based on the formidable work of ace journalist Ashley Lutz, who scrupulously documented her findings in a Business Insider report.
Lutz reported that in 1983, there were 50 media companies, but early in this century, as well as today, only six organizations are responsible for 90 percent or more of all the “news” we read, watch, and listen to! They include:
What happened?
It used to be that, of those six gigantic corporations, only one of them was politically conservative—specifically, Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp. The rest were uniformly left or far-left propaganda machines.
Why? Because their bosses—Chief Executive Officers and billionaire owners—were all globalists, idealogues who fervently, passionately, megalomaniacally, and narcissistically believed and believe to this very nanosecond that it is they, these self-appointed Masters of the Universe, who should be running the world, and not the idiotic morons who continue to procreate, take up valuable space, drive gasoline-fueled cars, and waste fortunes of money on antiquated concepts like religion, the belief in two-parent families, the value of the 1st and second amendment rights of free speech and gun ownership, and so on.
And then, in 2015, Murdoch ceded a great deal of control of NewsCorp to his RINO son Lachlan and his leftist son James, who have moved their most reliable conservative media outlets significantly to the left, although not completely. Follow the money!
This is how it works:
Ms. Wide-Eyed Idealist and Mr. Upward-Mobility apply for jobs at their local or national radio or TV stations or newspapers, or maybe they “know someone” who facilitates an interview that leads to their being hired. A good example of the latter is the nice enough but remarkably untalented Chelsea Clinton, who landed an astronomically high-paying job with NBC that, mercifully for viewers, lasted about a minute.
Once hired, these wannabe journalists are thrilled to be on their way until they learn that their bosses don’t give a damn about anything they think, believe, want to convey to a hungry public. For most media employees, it soon becomes clear that they are expected—indeed, mandated—to reflect and convey the belief systems of their employers.
If they don’t do that, they are completely dispensable! One example is Alysin Camerota of CNN. When she was at Fox, she was Ms. Reliable-Fair-and-Balanced. But the very millisecond she moved to CNN, she became as rabidly partisan as any leftwing fanatic has ever been. Why? Because Ms. Alysin knew immediately that she was dispensable.
That’s how business works. Toe the line, or you’re out! The same can be said of all the self-important newscasters, anchors, and hosts whose media bosses quite literally give them their marching orders—or, more accurately, their talking orders. Not just talking orders, but word-for-word memes, which is why no matter which lefty network or cable show you turn to, they’re all using the same vocabulary, the same expressions, and the same keywords.
I first noticed this when Dick Cheney was chosen as George W. Bush’s VP candidate. Suddenly, the media talking heads discovered the word “gravitas”! We still witness this echo chamber every day.
Objectivity has never been part of the media’s agenda, only slavish obeisance to their bosses. Watch for yourself. In fact, take notes. There is a remarkable absence of originality in today’s political reportage. It’s all a tired repetition of talking points and leftist propaganda that the anchors and reporters have received beforehand and have literally been commanded to utilize at the risk of their jobs. There’s not an original word, phrase, or sentence!
And watch these [dispensable] media shills try to impress their bosses by competing in the categories of “best gotcha question,” “most [feigned] outrage,” most blank-faced faux objectivity,” and “most vilification toward President Trump,” whom these disrespectful [dispensable] employees insist on calling “Trump.”
Why the ferocity?
The question still remains: Why the fanatical, obsessive, literally crazed hatred of President Trump? The answer is quite simple: In every single case of what used to pass as politics as usual, he has single-handedly identified and challenged the following as bad for America:
How? By giving voice to what the American people have known and been angry about for decades, namely, that these institutions, events, and ideologies are corrupt, permeated with bribes and payoffs, self-serving, and, in too many cases, anti-American, anti the U.S. Constitution, anti the Judeo-Christian ethics upon which our exceptional nation was founded, and, quite openly now, virulently anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and anti-Jew!
What’s next?
For eight long years, the Left has conspired against President Trump, fabricating—and this is the short list—a Russian-collusion hoax, the Stormy Daniels fiasco, the preposterous impeachment attempts, the phony January 6 “insurrection” fiction, the classified documents at Mar-A-Lago scam, and an avalanche of lawfare suits pursued by career leftist prosecutors and decided by career leftist judges.
Nothing worked!
And then it was mid-July 2024—less than four months from the election—and the left’s arch-nemesis was not only still standing but commanding massive crowds in weekly rallies around the country and demonstrating an ebullient optimism about the future of America, which is tantamount to arsenic to Democrats whose glasses are always half empty and whose sky is always falling.
What to do? It’s probably not a coincidence that a cascade of inexplicable Secret Service failures paved the way for an almost-successful assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Indeed, Cherie Zaslawsky (and many others) theorize that our own intelligence services, rather than displaying a Freudian level of incompetence guarding a man many despised, may have facilitated the attempt.
To demonstrate just how craven and dishonest our media are, here is a small sample of the headlines that followed this history-altering assassination attempt:
A word of advice. Don’t believe anything you hear, read, or listen to on the so-called mainstream media—not a word, not a phrase, not a suggestion, not a theory.
Their agenda, as we’ve learned over the past eight years, is to obey the moneybags’ globalists who prefer socialism-cum-communism to the glorious freedom that the Founding Fathers of America envisioned and actualized almost 250 years ago.
Yes, the media shills will still be with us, but when you decide to turn them off, they too will go the way of the dinosaurs they have always been.

The biblical interpretation attributes it to a broader range of social and religious failings, including injustices like usury, but these are seen as part of a larger pattern of disobedience and corruption rather than the sole cause of the destruction. The event is framed within the context of divine punishment for the overall moral and covenantal failures of the people of Judah.
List the jewish expulsions that were spurred on by objection to loaning at interest, aka usuryChatGPT
Historically, Jewish expulsions from various regions were sometimes associated with economic factors, including objections to usury (lending money at interest). While usury was a common criticism and an economic issue in several expulsions, it was often one of multiple reasons for these actions. Here are some notable expulsions that were influenced by or linked to economic grievances, including issues related to usury:
Expulsions of Jewish communities were often driven by a combination of religious, economic, and political factors. Usury and economic grievances were significant in several expulsions, reflecting broader societal tensions and prejudices against Jewish financial practices. However, these expulsions typically involved multiple underlying causes and should be understood within their complex historical and socio-political contexts.

The claim that Jews have been expelled from 168 countries or regions over history is often cited in various sources, but it is important to approach such numbers with caution. The figure is generally more illustrative of the widespread nature of Jewish expulsions and persecutions throughout history rather than a precise count of distinct expulsions from separate countries.
While the figure of Jews being expelled from 168 countries reflects the extensive history of Jewish persecution and migration, it should be understood as a general indicator of the widespread nature of these events rather than a precise historical statistic. The number is more symbolic of the many instances and regions affected rather than an exact count of distinct expulsions from separate modern countries.

She is all that I have left
And music is her name
[Pre-Chorus]
(I think about)
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten (I’ve been around the world)
[Chorus]
I have been around the world (Looking)
Looking for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will
(Yes)
[Verse 3]
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine
Will come along, make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
LOL overly dramatic A-Eye, trained by Hollywood and books….
This song, “Southern Cross” by Crosby, Stills & Nash, contains several sailing terms and phrases that evoke a nautical journey. Here’s a breakdown of the sailing lingo:
These sailing terms are intertwined with the metaphorical journey of the song, reflecting the themes of exploration, love, and self-discovery. The nautical imagery is used to convey both the physical journey and the emotional experiences of the narrator.
stock here, I didn’t really understand this until the “pandemic” working on the Homestead with a History Professor. The Whites, not to be confused with Caucasian, were crushed until 1989.
The White movement (Russian: pre–1918 Бѣлое движеніе / post–1918 Белое движение, romanized: Beloye dvizheniye, IPA: [ˈbʲɛləɪ dvʲɪˈʐenʲɪɪ]),[a] also known as the Whites (Бѣлые / Белые, Beliye), was a loose confederation of anti-communist forces that fought the communist Bolsheviks, also known as the Reds, in the Russian Civil War (1917–1923) and that to a lesser extent continued operating as militarized associations of rebels both outside and within Russian borders in Siberia until roughly World War II (1939–1945). The movement’s military arm was the White Army (Бѣлая армія / Белая армия, Belaya armiya), also known as the White Guard (Бѣлая гвардія / Белая гвардия, Belaya gvardiya) or White Guardsmen (Бѣлогвардейцы / Белогвардейцы, Belogvardeytsi).
During the Russian Civil War, the White movement functioned as a big-tent political movement representing an array of political opinions in Russia united in their opposition to the Bolsheviks—from the republican-minded liberals and Kerenskyite social democrats on the left through monarchists and supporters of a united multinational Russia to the ultra-nationalist Black Hundreds on the right.
Following the military defeat of the Whites, remnants and continuations of the movement remained in several organizations, some of which only had narrow support, enduring within the wider White émigré overseas community until after the fall of the European communist states in the Eastern European Revolutions of 1989 and the subsequent dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990–1991. This community-in-exile of anti-communists often divided into liberal and the more conservative segments, with some still hoping for the restoration of the Romanov dynasty.
In the Russian context after 1917, “White” had three main connotations which were:

Above all, the White movement emerged as opponents of the Red Army.[7] The White Army had the stated aim to reverse the October Revolution and remove the Bolsheviks from power before a constituent assembly (dissolved by the Bolsheviks in January 1918) could be convened.[8] They worked to remove Soviet organizations and functionaries in White-controlled territory.[9]
Overall, the White Army was nationalistic[10] and rejected ethnic particularism and separatism.[11] The White Army generally believed in a united multinational Russia and opposed separatists who wanted to create nation-states.[12]
The propaganda service of the Volunteer Army, the Osvag [ru] (Russian: ОСВАГ (ОСВедомительное АГентство), romanized: OSVAG (OSVedomitelnoe AGentstvo), lit. ‘Informing Agency’), made the claim that “the Jews must pay for everything: for the February and October revolutions, for Bolshevism and for the peasants who took their land from the owners”. The organization also reissued the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Although Denikin’s troops committed only 17.2% of the pogroms (most of which were carried out by Ukrainian nationalists or by rebel armies not affiliated with any side), “white” officers praise soldiers who commit anti-Semitic crimes, some of whom even receive bonuses.[13]
British parliamentary influential leader Winston Churchill (1874–1965) personally warned General Anton Denikin (1872–1947), formerly of the Imperial Army and later a major White military leader, whose forces effected pogroms and persecutions against the Jews:
[M]y task in winning support in Parliament for the Russian Nationalist cause will be infinitely harder if well-authenticated complaints continue to be received from Jews in the zone of the Volunteer Armies.[14]
However, Denikin did not dare to confront his officers and remained content with vague formal condemnations. Coat of Arms of the Kolchak government
Aside from being anti-Bolshevik and anti-communist[15] and patriotic, the Whites had no set ideology or main leader.[16] The White Armies did acknowledge a single provisional head of state in a Supreme Governor of Russia in a Provisional All-Russian Government, but this post was prominent only under the leadership in the war campaigns during 1918–1920 of Admiral Alexander Kolchak, formerly of the previous Russian Imperial Navy.[17]
The movement had no set foreign policy. Whites differed on policies toward the German Empire in its extended occupation of western Russia, the Baltic states, Poland and Ukraine on the Eastern Front in the closing days of the World War, debating whether or not to ally with it. The Whites wanted to keep from alienating any potential supporters and allies and thus saw an exclusively monarchist position as a detriment to their cause and recruitment. White-movement leaders, such as Anton Denikin, advocated for Russians to create their own government, claiming the military could not decide in Russians’ steads.[18] Admiral Alexander Kolchak succeeded in creating a temporary wartime government in Omsk, acknowledged by most other White leaders, but it ultimately disintegrated after Bolshevik military advances.[19]
Some warlords who were aligned with the White movement, such as Grigory Semyonov and Roman Ungern von Sternberg, did not acknowledge any authority but their own. Consequently, the White movement had no unifying political convictions, as members could be monarchists, republicans,[20] rightists, or Kadets.[21] Among White Army leaders, neither General Lavr Kornilov nor General Anton Denikin were monarchists, yet General Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel was a monarchist willing to fight for a republican Russian government. Moreover, other political parties supported the anti-Bolshevik White Army, among them the Socialist Revolutionary Party, and others who opposed Lenin’s Bolshevik coup in October 1917. Depending on the time and place, those White Army supporters might also exchange right-wing allegiance for allegiance to the Red Army.
Unlike the Bolsheviks, the White Armies did not share a single ideology, methodology, or political goal. They were led by conservative generals with different agendas and methods, and for the most part they operated quite independently of each other, with little coordination or cohesion. The composition and command structure of White armies also varied, some containing hardened veterans of World War I, others more recent volunteers. These differences and divisions, along with their inability to offer an alternative government and win popular support, prevented the White armies from winning the Civil War.[22][23]
