Deep State.

The cabal we call Deep State.

The people who orchestrated the steal, installed the POTATUS, now have control of Congress, the SCOTUS, and the bureaucracy.

Deep State.

And this is related to "KHAZARIANS" how? Oh, and please don't whine again over being asked to provide... PROOF.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's it? That's your "proof" that "Khazarians" run the country? Hey, this sounds like fun! I'll do the same IDIOCY for laughs. Ready?

Do you know the earth is flat...?

(crickets)

Nuff said.

I don’t like your aggressive attitude.

Besides, how can you demand sources from me when you’ve produced none yourself?

Sniff! Your severe chastisement has shattered me as a person.

Unlike you I actually do have lots of evidence starting with this from the National Library of Medicine:

No evidence from genome-wide data of a Khazar origin for the Ashkenazi Jews

Are you aware that when your opinions are derived from an untrustworthy source, then your opinions themselves are in question?

And what is this "untrustworthy source" to which you refer, Grasshopper?

p.s. I've got other sources so are you just going to write them all off as "untrustworthy" without giving details? Nice shtick if you want to AVOID inconvenient facts.

When I was very young, I saw the Francis Bacon quote, “Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.”

Seeing this quote was a pivotal event in my life, because in contradicting the conventional and false assumption that we simply prefer to believe what’s true, it illustrated the need to seek objective truth over my emotional preference.

I haven’t always succeeded. And sometimes objective truth is the same as my emotional preference.

My point here is that if what you tell me is true, then I want to believe it.

So does this mean you are going to drop the whole ridiculous "Khazarian" shtick based on no EVIDENCE other than what you want to believe? Or are you going to continue to push your little obsession? Perhaps this could be a good time for self-enlightenment, Grasshopper.

I’d like to give you credit for having a justified, true belief in what you’re asserting here, but the problem we have is that what you’re saying doesn’t seem to have merit.

One of the best ways to find out what’s true these days is to see what the “fact checkers” say about it.

Then conclude the opposite.

I’ve always believed the Jewish people to be the descendants of Abraham, who made a covenant with Almighty God, who created everything and gave us life and the chance for salvation.

I’ve never believed the Khazars to be the descendants of Abraham.

Here's how it works with Mr. ReasonIsGone: He demands proof. Proof is presented. Then without even checking it out he claims the proof doesn't seem to have merit because it contradicts his fact-challenged obsession.

And now you know why he is Mr. ReasonIsGone.

You don’t know the meaning of the word “proof.”

Here is the reply of Mr. ReasonIsGone to my Post #27 above in which I presented a link to the National Liberary of Medicine.

Are you aware that when your opinions are derived from an untrustworthy source, then your opinions themselves are in question?

IOW, my mind is already made up so please don't present FACTS that contradict my absurd obsessions.

The National Library of Medicine is not how you prove something to be true or false.

In the National Library of Medicine, you will find a combination of truth and falsehood.
