If one does mention these elements, one is immediately attacked as either "anti-Semitic" or a "conspiracy theorist". That's why I tend to worry we're going to head through a truly dystopian period before the ship gets righted: most people are so engrained with the phony baloney post-WWII narratives that it's going to take violent men with rifles personally confiscating their property, or something equally drastic, before they "wake up". And even then, they may point fingers at the wrong culprits and still not figure it out.
The only way to "turn off" the "wealth pump" is to go after the people who put it in place, and-- to stick with their metaphor-- squeeze the handle every day. But to go after them, you first need to identify who they are.
Foreign Powers
On that note, I have two links to share. The first shows how not only did Gavin Nuisance clean up San Francisco overnight, after years and years of saying it wasn't possible, but he and the Biden regime made the place look like downtown Beijing. Just watch the second-to-last video embedded in this article, with the motorcade: it's so surreal, I had to pinch myself.
The second relevant anecdote is at the 20:47 mark of this video. The Jewish speaker is exactly correct, but is cleverly leaving out the why. Nationalism means you put your country's interests first. Liberalism means you have a brain disease where you bend over and let yourself be destroyed by holding "pluralism" as a first principle.
The guy says that Jews are "safest" in countries with "liberal values". Meaning, where they can run amok and sow anti-Christianity, hedonism, pornography, homosexuality, globalism, and invasions by veritably unlimited amounts of illegal aliens. In fact, notice how he's speaking next to a placard which reads "This World". The opposite of liberalism is Nationalism. In Nationalistic countries where the nation's interests are put first, Jews get tossed out-- as they have in dozens of countries throughout history-- because they deliberately try to undermine the nation's values.
The speaker is exhibiting a form of dishonesty: he is saying something nominally true, but leaving out important context and framing. More broadly, both his words plus the Gavin Nuisance instance demonstrate how America is completely under the control of non-Americans: the Israelis and the Chinese, foremost among them.
Revealing
I saw the other day that there was a Bishop who was forcefully removed by Pope Francis, because he was speaking out about concerns regarding the direction of the Church. I looked up what his key objections are, and they boil down primarily to opening the door to "rainbow people", and to allowing the laity too much say.
Sound familiar? There is that old expression, "You know who controls you by who you're not allowed to criticize". This Bishop stumbled on a close corollary about criticizing the ideas of the people who control him. Apparently you can be a priest, sister, or bishop who proposes that gay pedophile drag queens should be permitted the priesthood in total contradiction to scripture, and you're fine. But suggest that the Church follow the Bible? Unacceptable.
I'll let the Bishop speak for himself:
"The only answer I have to that [why he was removed] is because the forces in the Church right now don't want the truth of the Gospel. There are people in the Church, rather than glorifying in the truth of Christ, they want to delete significant portions of Sacred Scripture and say, 'Oh, we got that wrong,' or 'We're just going to ignore it.' [The Truth], it's perennial, it's everlasting, it's glorious. And if you want it to change, then I'm the problem."
New Reviewer
On a lighter note, a fellow I speak with frequently on Gab proposed that I cross-post his reviews on the 'Wharf! Back when I started that site, my idea was to accumulate a roster of reviewers-- and in fact, I wrote the site to support multiple reviewers right from the first day. Unfortunately, I could never convince any of my friends to write anything!
You can read more about him here, at the bottom of the page. Currently, he's working on a project to-- ideally-- review every single Game Boy Advance title, provided life doesn't get in the way of course. So far he's covered three games, which you can take a look at here: "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga", "The Polar Express", and "Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf".
