    The Nazi Persecution of Black People in Germany

    When the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were several thousand Black people living in Germany. The Nazi regime harassed and persecuted them because the Nazis viewed Black people as racially inferior. While there was no centralized, systematic program targeting Black people for murder, many Black people were imprisoned, forcibly sterilized, and murdered by the Nazis.


    Key Facts

        The Nazis harassed and discriminated against Black people in Germany. The regime’s racial laws limited their social and economic opportunities.

         The Nazi regime forcibly sterilized an unknown number of Black and multiracial people, including at least 385 multiracial Rhineland children (derogatorily called the “Rhineland Bastards”).

        There was no coordinated arrest wave targeting all Black people in Germany. Nonetheless, many Black people ended up imprisoned in workhouses, prisons, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and concentration camps.

    The beauty of these idiotic protests is that Hamas, Hezbollah and Nazis would murder every one of them.

    Crypto mining and AI data centers are effectively the same in terms of electricity usage. I assume the main factor in deciding where to place the equipment is basically electricity costs.  If/when our politicians start to talk about Texas attracting these companies, we're all subsidizing the costs on our monthly bills.

    AI data centers will soon far outstrip crypto.

    They can't all be the nicest guy ever. You're going to have to pick one, and you better be sure because no takesies backsies. 

    Jank super super nice. Beltre was very friendly and came to us. I know MY from little league ball. Nice guy, quiet. Boch has a lot of metal in his body. He was being bombarded by fans and wanted to get out of talking to them. I left him alone. By the time Beltre had come around, Bochy had escaped the other group dominating his attention and was back watching BP. You can see him in top left of my pic. 

  4. Last night was very cool. Chatted with my double secret contact, who gave us batting practice field passes, for a while while Evan Grant came over to bother him, and he got Adrian to come over. The nicest guy ever - very engaging - intro’d himself to my wife, son and I. My son, pictured, was there for a game when he was 5-7 when Belts hit for the cycle against the Stros - by the 5th inning. Don’t know if anyone remembers that. Astros first base coach through us a foul ball. Still, when we are walking off, he asks how good was Adrian. I said well he hit damn near 500 homers, was an all time great defensively and is about to be inducted into the HOF. So, pretty good son. Also gave us this moment:image.gif.6fd43cc70362ba0bd166364dfb8fb25a.gif

    Jank is about the nicest guy ever and so is Boch. Michael Young too.

    Can you guys get a room? Your personal slap fights has cluttered up this thread long enough. Just quit responding to each other or do it privately as no one else cares.

     

    I put his confusing nonsensical ass on ignore. You’re right, and I’m sorry to have engaged.

    I don’t care, I was tagged. Rex chest thumping after he saw a 5% opening number after he missed out on 75% is weird.

    I’ve got an obnoxious natural gas trader like him in my family that I’ve had to hear shit like this for at least 20 years. The guy that’s never wrong because he puts 10 guesses out there, only acts on 3 of them, and never remembers his shit picks.

    5%?  75%?  What are you talking about?  Explain it to me like I’m a child. You’re throwing numbers out there that have zero relevance to what I do for a living or as an investor. I didn’t miss out on anything. By hedging earlier at lower levels, I would’ve paid for insurance of my cash flow. I didn’t hedge and probably won’t now. I have no idea where you’re coming from man. I tagged you because you were making fun of my timing, I guess, and what I have guessed here is coming to fruition. Your entire critique is way off base.

    So who do we trust then?

    I agree with the UN for the most part, but having worked with a few of their agencies, they are not all the same. I do trust their health/food/refugee personnel. I do not usually trust the speakers from NY.

     

    A LOT of governmental organizations, regardless of nation / international status. The UN is far more credible than say the IEA.

    Yes, but it has no place in there, and it just accentuates the fact that the article is a he said/she said without sifting out even known and proven lies.

    I take nothing the UN says seriously. They have a major, major credibility problem.

    Release of hostages doesn't appear to be the primary sticking point. Timetables and durability, otoh, are. 

    From the NYT (plain text paste mofos, learn how to use it):

    Hamas officials on Tuesday said they delivered to mediators in Qatar and Egypt a response to a cease-fire proposal endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, putting pressure on Israel to make the next move as Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken meets with negotiators in the Middle East.

    The Hamas response proposed amendments to the deal endorsed on Monday in a 14-0 Security Council vote that may prove to be another stumbling block to a cease-fire agreement.

    The counterproposal came as Mr. Blinken was in the region, meeting with top officials in Israel, Egypt and Jordan, in an effort to advance a peace agreement and urging Hamas to accept the U.N.-backed proposal. He was expected to fly to Qatar on Wednesday for meetings with officials there. Qatar and Egypt have acted as intermediaries between Israel and Hamas, which do not communicate directly with each other.

    An official with knowledge of the talks, who asked for anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy, said the Palestinian response proposed amendments to the cease-fire plan, including firm timetables for not only a short-term truce but a permanent one, and for a full Israeli withdrawal.

    This differs from the three-phase deal Israel proposed, that the Security Council endorsed and that President Biden has been pushing. That plan calls for an immediate cease-fire in phase one as negotiators hammer out a plan for a permanent end to fighting in the second phase. If talks on a permanent end to hostilities take longer than six weeks, the temporary truce would be extended, according to the original proposal.

    Israel has said previously that it will not agree to a deal that doesn’t allow it to eradicate Hamas or would force what it considers a premature end to the war.

    An Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks, said the Israeli negotiating team had received a copy of Hamas’s response to the proposed agreement through Qatari and Egyptian mediators, characterizing it as tantamount to a rejection of the deal presented by President Biden.

    John F. Kirby, a White House spokesman for the National Security Council, said that the U.S. had received Hamas’s response but declined to discuss the details until it had been fully examined. “We are evaluating it right now,” Mr. Kirby said.

    Your blind hatred for Israel causes you to do things like make this post trying to understand Hamas and being duped by their response.

    Passively ignoring one sides terrible actions because the others are potentially worse is a dangerous slope, but you do you.

    I don’t. I read all of bolverk’s painstaking posts. I pay attention. I’ll comment when I want to.

    Rex didn’t want to bully Israel by expressing any negativity in an online forum and you’re laughing??

    I don’t feel the need to caveat both sides type statements when it’s clear one side is far worse than the other.

    You are absolutely a commodities trader and some junior associate needs you to sign off on trade allocations

    No, I’m a banker and I own working and royalty interests. I don’t follow technicals like a trader. My sentiments are driven by fundamentals and paying attention.
