Regarding Zaphod: he ha s stated that he is of mostly Scots/Irish descent with some Baltic ancestry, raised in Duram SA.  He claims to work in analytic side of banking/finance/investing out of Hong Kong.

Regarding   anti-Asian hatred; the CCP rules China, it is not China, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Burma (Myanmar), Vietnam, Japan,  ..
. how many countries, and cultures it is not.  He apologizes for the CCP, is an appeaser for them IMO.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@BarryMeislin:

Gaddafi must have been the biggest supporter of Palestinian terrorism after the Iranians and was very vocal about it. I&#039;ve never quite been able to convince myself that he was taken out only because he refused to sell his oil to the right Anglo-French middlemen.

And post-Gaddafi, every man and his dog has been using Libya as recruiting/training ground and arms clearinghouse for the Syria shenanigans.

I&#039;m fine with the idea that the Forever War benefits just about everyone (except taxpayers and natives -- neither of whom matter) and that there isn&#039;t a sinister cartoon puppeteer.. but don&#039;t think there is any sound geopolitical reason for US Military meddling in Med in 2021 and do think that Israeli-National-Security-tail wagging the USA-dog is at the very least a convenient excuse for all those snouts being in a very lucrative trough.

Speaking of Med and Geopolitics. Everyone&#039;s favourite Russian will have to put a JDAM through Erdogan&#039;s bathroom window soon if they don&#039;t want him digging the Istanbul Canal and making the Montreux Convention disappear in puff of smoke and a flurry of djinns.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@BarryMeislin:

Cole appears to have gotten his strain injected the wrong way. Never a dull moment with his columns.

Elvis! I had no idea. Luckily I don&#039;t have some kind of manic-obsessive wall-sized cork board with different coloured ribbons joining up mugshots and newspaper clippings. Mucho rearrangement would be in order.

YouTube has decided that I need attitude adjustment and is feeding me a steady diet of Mitzvah Tantz-ing. It seems to know better than to put Ben Shapiro in my feed. Or maybe he&#039;s not paying for non-US location targeting.

Afraid I&#039;ve got a heart of stone when it comes to Shapiro. Posing with a plank outside Home Depot just doesn&#039;t do it for me. On the other hand, I find watching Chasid Wedding festivities quite entertaining and relaxing. Easy to figure out who&#039;s important: they&#039;re not monochromatic. Their songs do get a bit repetitive and they seem reluctant to sing old favourites like &quot;In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus&quot; or even &quot;Muss i denn&quot; but on the whole, not bad. But Shapiro? Shapiro to the strappado!

Ben &#038; Jerry&#039;s Cherry Garcia was responsible for the most rapid weight gain I ever experienced, so would be inclined to encourage them to open more stores in West Bank / Gaza. Inflate them a bit and make them slower and larger targets.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...dysgenic...&quot;

An interesting take to be sure, but at the very least, it seems to me that Brother Cole should have mentioned that Elvis---by far and away America&#039;s greatest Revolutionary...well, according to some---was himself Jewish (I mean as long as the Brother felt obligated to mention that his biological father helped to bring about the Great Gyrating Genius&#039;s demise and even served time for it).

On the other hand, he does do a good job on the potentially profound perversities of the complex and problematic &quot;Save-the-World&quot; syndrome-ists even as he draws attention to the bizarre phenomenon that for all too many of them, the response to &quot;Justice&quot; (or &quot;Social Justice&quot;) is practically identical to a feline&#039;s response to catnip.

Regarding the poor, beleaguered Ben Shapiro, kindly give the fellow a break. One must choose one&#039;s battles (as no doubt you well know); and while he was most likely clearly troubled when those notorious emperors of ice cream from the People&#039;s Republic of Vermont came out with &quot;Rainbow Pride&quot; sorbet, he drew the line when he discovered---he has his sources---that they were on the brink of marketing some perverse concoction they were going to call &quot;Elderberries of Zion&quot; ripple (which he resolved he had to nip in the bud). 

Everyone has their limits. (I mean, what would YOU do?)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dan Greenfield on your tax dollars at work:

https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2021/07/biden-admin-goes-after-israel-over.html

As usual he nails it. Nice touch, the &#039;Religious Seminary&#039; thing. Dan knows his audience.

&quot;The Biden administration, which had ignored the murders of American citizens by Islamic terrorists, quickly jumped into action assigning the Shalabi case its highest priority.

While an American woman arrested in a Muslim country for not wearing a hijab or for looking at a man can expect to be ignored by the local embassy, Biden’s State Department dispatched representatives from the embassy to attend the court hearings involving the Shalabi house.&quot;

What drives me insane about USGov is that it invariably does the wrong thing. On the one hand, it fetishises terrorists who murder random yeshiva students. On the other hand, it does geopolitically insane things in Syria and Libya at Israel&#039;s behest. Little Green Man From Mars could only assume that USGov has its head where the sun don&#039;t shine or is snorting lines. Or both at the same time. It beats me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[om, your obsession with crudely mocking each Zaphod comment is tiresome.

As a separate topic, are you sure Z is a white Britt or a white Scott? Has that been confirmed in previous conversations?
Would you hold back from anti-Asian hatred if Z was Chinese or mixed race?]]></description>
