Why Are Goyim Obsessed With Bad People Being The Fault of The Jews?

How many times have we seen the speculation that certain truly horrific historical people must Jewish based the stringing of threads. Or the that said horrific people are horrific because of the Jews.

How many times have seen Hitler was actually a Jew conspiracy or that Hitler only became the way he did because he denied entry to art school by Jews conspiracy?

Not just with historical figures we all have seen how often it gets mentioned that Roy Cohen, Jew, and they sure do make a point to highlight that Jew part was behind Donald Trump being who he is.

Think about Henry Kissinger and how much him Jewish gets highlighted when talking his influence on Presidents Ford and Nixon, even though he hated being Jewish.

And of course we can not forget the all time go to Christopher Columbus as the secret Jew.

And now that is being reported to be in fact true. Just look at how everyone is reporting it.

Only that is not the case.

The documentary Columbus DNA. His True Origin, broadcast on Spain’s National Holiday suggests that the explorer was not Genoese and Christian but Spanish and Jewish. The absolute protagonist of the documentary, forensic scientist José Antonio Lorente, has not yet published any scientific study to back his claims. The documentary is presented in the style of a reality show in which Lorente systematically discounts other theories, including that Columbus was Castilian, Portuguese, Galician, Mallorcan or a Cagot. It culminates with a scene in which only one possibility remains, the one put forward by architect Francesc Albardaner, author of the book La catalanitat de Colom (or, The Catalonian Origins of Columbus).

But geneticist Antonio Alonso, former chief of the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences, is not convinced: “Unfortunately, from the scientific point of view, no assessment can be made after watching the documentary, since it does not provide any data on what has been analyzed. My conclusion is that the documentary Columbus DNA does not show the DNA of Columbus at any given moment and scientists do not know what analysis has been undertaken.”

Forensic anthropologist Miguel Botella, also from the University of Granada, remembers that day in 2003 when he waited for the box containing the supposed bones of Christopher Columbus to be opened. “Everyone expected to be greeted by an intact Columbus, but there were only 150 grams of bone fragments,” he says with a smile. The largest would have been about four centimeters in length.

Lorente then said that he was going to analyze the DNA of the three alleged members of the Columbus family with the help of prestigious geneticists, such as Ángel Carracedo from the University of Santiago de Compostela; and Mark Stoneking, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, one of the world’s most prestigious centers for the analysis of ancient DNA. Carracedo recalls that the DNA that reached him was tremendously degraded, and he too distanced himself from the project. Moreover, he refuses to comment on Lorente’s new results until there is a serious scientific study published in a specialized journal. The response of the Max Planck Institute geneticist to questions from EL PAÍS were similar: “I am sorry, my group stopped working on this in 2005 and I have not heard anything about the most recent results,” said Stoneking.

According to geneticist Antonio Alonso, “It is not the done thing for data that the scientific community has not yet endorsed to be presented to society, as it puts the data itself at risk as well as the proposed theory.” Alonso is also surprised by the absence of experts from the U.S. and Australia in the film whose contribution Lorente describes as essential. “Here there is too much protagonism from only one scientist. Neither the Granada team nor the collaborating ancient DNA laboratories in California and Adelaide, which are said to be of great importance in the success of the analyses, appear in the film,” he points out. Recently retired, Alonso is one of Spain’s leading experts in forensic genetics. He worked on the identification of the victims of Madrid’s 11-M terror attacks; on the investigation of dozens of reports of alleged baby thefts; on the recognition of Spanish Civil War victims and even on the attempts to find the remains of the writer Miguel de Cervantes. He claims that the documentary Columbus DNA does not speak to him as a scientist. “We do not know which DNA regions were analyzed, nor the technology used in the analysis, nor the results obtained, which makes it impossible to make a correct assessment of the findings,” he says.

Alonso explains that there are clusters of genetic variants called haplotypes or haplogroups that tend to be inherited together and may be characteristic of certain family lineages, but he adds that they often coincide with those of other groups in historically Jewish or non-Jewish populations. “In any case, having a genealogy, a haplogroup or a haplotype of Jewish or Sephardic ancestry does not call into question Columbus’ birthplace in Genoa as stated by historical sources, nor does it tell us anything about the religious beliefs professed by the generations of relatives close to Columbus,” he says.

Rodrigo Barquera is a Mexican expert in archeogenetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Barquera has conducted DNA studies of human remains prior to the arrival of Europeans in America, such as those of children sacrificed by the Maya at Chichén-Itzá in Mexico. The researcher is very critical of the fact the data have been presented via a documentary, and without the backing of a serious scientific article reviewed by independent experts, especially given the enormous interest in the figure of Christopher Columbus and his origins. “Normally, the article is sent to a scientific journal,” he says. “The journal assigns an editor and at least three independent reviewers who rate the paper and decide if it is scientifically valid. If it is, it is published, and then the rest of the scientific community can say whether they agree or not. Putting it on a screen, removed from this process and with all the media focus on it, makes it difficult for the scientific community to say anything about it.”

Antonio Salas heads the Population Genetics in Biomedicine team at Santiago de Compostela’s Health Investigation Institute. “The documentary promised to focus on DNA analysis, as suggested by its title Columbus DNA: His True Origins,” he says. “However, the genetic information it offers is very limited. Only at the end is it mentioned that the only thing that was recovered from the presumed remains of Christopher Columbus was a partial profile of the Y chromosome. The problem is that the Y chromosome represents only a tiny fraction of our DNA and our ancestry.” “The documentary rushes to a conclusion that Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew originally from the Spanish Levant. This hypothesis is, to say the least, surprising: there is no Y chromosome that can be uniquely defined as Sephardic-Jewish,” argues Salas. “Even if all of an individual’s DNA were recovered, it would still be impossible to reach definitive conclusions about his or her exact geographic origin.

So when science seems to much more aligned with Columbus not being why then is everyone reporting him as Jewish. And why do goyim keep blaming every evil deed, every action, every evil choice and every evil person on Jews?

Bites on Roman Gladiator Bones Prove Combat With a Lion

Bite marks found on the skeleton of a Roman gladiator are the first archaeological evidence of combat between a human and a lion, experts say.

The remains were discovered during a 2004 dig at Driffield Terrace, in York, a site now thought to be the world's only well-preserved Roman gladiator cemetery.

Forensic examination of the skeleton of one young man has revealed that holes and bite marks on his pelvis were most likely caused by a lion.

Prof Tim Thompson, the forensic expert who led the study, said this was the first "physical evidence" of gladiators fighting big cats.

"For years our understanding of Roman gladiatorial combat and animal spectacles has relied heavily on historical texts and artistic depictions," he said.

"This discovery provides the first direct, physical evidence that such events took place in this period, reshaping our perception of Roman entertainment culture in the region."

Experts used new forensic techniques to analyse the wounds, including 3D scans which showed the animal had grabbed the man by the pelvis.

Prof Thompson, from Maynooth University, in Ireland, said: "We could tell that the bites happened at around the time of death.

"So this wasn't an animal scavenging after the individual died - it was associated with his death."

As well as scanning the wound, scientists compared its size and shape to sample bites from large cats at London Zoo.

"The bite marks in this particular individual match those of a lion," Prof Thompson told BBC News.

The location of the bites gave researchers even more information about the circumstances of the gladiator's death.

The pelvis, Prof Thompson explained, "is not where lions normally attack, so we think this gladiator was fighting in some sort of spectacle and was incapacitated, and that the lion bit him and dragged him away by his hip."

The skeleton, a male aged between 26 and 35, had been buried in a grave with two others and overlaid with horse bones.

Previous analysis of the bones pointed to him being a Bestiarius - a gladiator that was sent into combat with beasts.

Malin Holst, a Senior Lecturer in Osteoarchaeology at the University of York, said in 30 years of analysing skeletons she had "never seen anything like these bite marks".

Additionally, she said the man's remains revealed the story of a "short and somewhat brutal life".

His bones were shaped by large, powerful muscles and there was evidence of injuries to his shoulder and spine, which were associated with hard physical work and combat.

Ms Holst, who is also managing director of York Osteoarchaeology, added: "This is a hugely exciting find because we can now start to build a better image of what these gladiators were like in life."

The findings, which have been published in the Journal of Science and Medical Research PLoS One, also confirmed the "presence of large cats and potentially other exotic animals in arenas in cities such as York, and how they too had to defend themselves from the threat of death", she said.

Experts said the discovery added weight to the suggestion an amphitheatre, although not yet found, likely existed in Roman York and would have staged fighting gladiators as a form of entertainment.

The presence of distinguished Roman leaders in York would have meant they required a lavish lifestyle, experts said, so it was no surprise to see evidence of gladiatorial events, which served as a display of wealth.

David Jennings, CEO of York Archaeology, said: "We may never know what brought this man to the arena where we believe he may have been fighting for the entertainment of others, but it is remarkable that the first osteoarchaeological evidence for this kind of gladiatorial combat has been found so far from the Colosseum of Rome, which would have been the classical world's Wembley Stadium of combat."

hi Caden, I was wondering if you had any recommendations on the topic of the insanity defense during trial, tests of "psychological fitness" in the framework of the criminal law, the idea of "responsibility for the insane", or the division between prisons and asylums for those accused of crimes?

yeas there's literally so much on this i forced myself not to list multiple books that cover the same geographic demarcation. like this is a huge topic lol. i don't have a singular global overview text in mind but if you have an area/time period you're interested in it's very likely there is at least some body of literature on criminal/forensic psychiatry in that context.

Japeth: Physics or Aeronautics. (If you're reading this, Jude, I couldn't come up with anything better. Feel free to fill in the blanks!)

Rhian (TCY): Political Science or Communications.

Kyma: Sociology. (Or possibly Anthropology. I can't think of anything much better for her either.)

Rufius: Culinary Arts.

Merlin: Gender Studies and Astrophysics/Astronomy/Cosmogony (or Mathematics, Chemistry, or Physics).

Hester: Sociology and Criminology.

Early seasons Ed Nygma and Valerie Vale should, by all means, know eachother

We have canon evidence that he writes science articles to earn money on the side. He has written for the Gotham Gazette!!! Where Valarie is a top reporter!!! She is also the most well connected journalist in the city. The woman is a menace she can get in anywhere and has involved herself with multiple in progress cases, that’s literally how she met Jim. She also defaulted to black mailing Jim for the sake of getting the information she needed.

There’s an article on the Gotham Gazette website from season one talking about how a reporter stopped by the precinct on a routine visit and found Ed smashing watermelons to test dense matter splat patterns.

Why would a reporter be in the forensics lab if they only needed to interview the scientist??Furthermore, he wasn’t doing those tests in the forensics lab in the first place, they only would’ve found him if they knew to check the coroners room!!

And yet there is ZERO content for Ed & Valarie!!! Not in canon and not in fanon!!!

They are Friends off screen, it’s So Clearly There and their personalities would mesh great. Vaguely unhinged ppl with a Goal are exactly who Ed gets along with, just like how focused people with a Speciality are who Valarie meshes with. They’re also both rabid for Knowing Things. Put some mysterious information under a box with a stick and they will both be trapped immediately.

I believe in my heart of hearts that they proof read each other’s articles

Val hooks Ed up with science journals offering cash, Ed gets Val updates on new cases as soon as the information’s discovered

Though I do think 45% of their friendship is just comprised of emails and another 35% is over text bc they are fellow workaholics and almost Never in the same physical place to actually hang out

Like?? Come onnnnn people, Friendship of the century, right around the corner!

Reboot HCs

As a current college student I feel like it’s my duty to determine what major the Reboot cast would pick. (Some of this I kinda have to bullshit n guess) But let’s get into it.

Axel- Military/ Studio Art major

Joins the military after high school. Completes basic training and moves to infantry. After a few months of military training she goes to school and studies art.

(Idk if this entirely accurate as I had to look up info for the military shit. And there isn’t much to Axel’s character besides the zombie bit. But there’s one moment in s2 where she’s painting Ripper so I’m just taking that as indication that she likes art.)

Bowie- Communications Major

As seen on the show, Bowie likes to gossip and socialize. So I don’t think it’s a stretch to think he’d choose Communications as a major. I think he’d also do theatre and basketball while he’s in college. After graduating I could see him landing a job in PR.

Caleb- Environmental Engineering major

Now I might be wrong since I don’t have Caleb’s scenes memorized off the top of my head. But I believe in season 2 episode 6 Caleb said he wanted to get into environmental engineering? Or something similar to that? So yeah pretty self explanatory. 

Also I think Caleb would want to join a frat to make friends. But once he realizes how toxic the culture is, he just leaves and does his own thing.

Chase- Streamer University

Chase is an already successful influencer with tons of cash. I don’t think he would want to go to college? At best he might go to that Streamer University thing that Kai Cenat is doing. Otherwise this guy ain’t getting no degree.

Since he’s most likely based off of Logan or Jake Paul. I like to imagine he becomes a boxer/ crypto bro in his future.

Damien- Chemistry/ Bachelor’s In Education

This one is also pretty self explanatory if you’ve seen his audition tape. But he gives me out of touch science teacher vibes. Like he would grow up to be that one science teacher that makes corny jokes that no one likes. “Why do you never trust an atom? Because they make up everything!”  He’d have to do an extra two years to earn that bachelor and he probably won’t be paid that much. But i imagine Damien would be pretty determined to set the next generation on the right path.

Emma- Twitch Streamer

This is where the headcannons come in. Since Emma is involved in the Chemma plot in s1 and booted so early in s2. I feel like we don’t get a good look into what her interests/ hobbies are besides being an influencer? So I don’t think she would go to college either. As she said in her elimination episode, she already makes millions off of Tiktok. Why would she need to go to school?

She’d probably be like one of those gamer girl twitch streamers.

Julia- Communications Major

Ironically I think she’d have a similar degree to Bowie. There’s a lot of social media jobs you can get with this one so I think it fits her. On top of being an influencer, I could see her being a social media strategist for a company.

Millie- Psychology Major with a minor in Journalism, PHD

The major or minor could be switched tbh. But Millie liked to psychoanalyze people and write stuff down in s1 so this is an easy fit. I could see Priya and Millie sharing a dorm and being college besties. Though I do think Millie would want to branch out and make other friends.

Millie would definitely try to go for a PHD and become a forensic psychologist. Given her lack of reaction to Damien almost dying in reboot s2 episode 2, I think she would do well in forensics.

MK- Prison

This might upset some people but thanks to TD, everyone knows that MK is a criminal now. A past crime might come back to haunt her or she might have trouble stealing anything in the present. One way or another she’s going to the slammer. I think she could probably convince Julia to bail her out.

From there, she'd just be an unemployed slacker crashing on Julia's couch. She'd be the Todd to Julia's Bojack. (hoping someone gets that reference.)

Nichelle Ladonna- Hollywood

Considering how happy she seems at the end of s2. I think she probably managed to squeeze her way back into Hollywood. Even though she got humiliated by Julia, she still proved she can do her own stunts now. That’s somewhat useful. Nichelle would just thrive off of her fame and fortune, occasionally rubbing it in Julia’s face.

Priya- Bachelor of Science in Nursing

This one was easy since Priya literally explained what she wanted to do in the show. I like to think she eventually realizes how toxic her parents were and cuts off contact with them.

Ripper-  Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Arts/ Trade School

I’m 50/50 on this one. Because I originally just imagined that Ripper would just go to trade school, thinking college is for NERDS and become either an electrician or a plumber. But I read this fic called 16 ppl in a beach house on AO3 that depicted Ripper as a good cook. And I don’t know why but I think it oddly fits his character? I could also see him getting a degree in culinary arts and working as a line cook in a restaurant. So again 50/50, which ever ending you prefer.

Scary Girl- Circus

This is solely just based off the fact that she was near a circus in her audition tape. Plus she kinda looks like a clown so it fits.

Wayne and Raj- Professional Hockey Players/ Business Degree

Play for the AHL while in college and are eventually drafted by the NHL (had to do research for this one because I do not know jack shit about hockey) Both guys go for a business degree so when they eventually retire from hockey, they can become beekeepers and sell honey. As stated in reboot s1 episode 2.

Zee- Film Major

He seems to like coming up with stories about how he lost his leg. And he seemed to have a bit of knowledge with movies given his dialogue with Julia in Reboot s1 ep 8. Also from personal experience, a lot of film majors are fucking weird so I think this fits.
