| [ The original real St. Nicholas was an olive skinned guy from Turkey. They changed him before. They could change him again. :D And...nobody cares. The prototypical archetype for santa is a chubby northern European with a flowing white beard. Heck! even white jesus is burned into my memory banks If... |

| ^ Hard core fanatical Jews WANT Jews to be two things:1) descended from the Biblical Jews of Judea, and 2) racially separate from Palestinians and Arabs. The DNA actually sorta suports the first (East European Jews do have a lot of DNA from the Levant, but with some European admixture, but with virt... |

| They could go one way, or the other. Make both Santa and his helper...of undefined race. Or make Santa also be Black. And indeed someone posted a pic of Dutch parents and their kids interacting with a Dutch Father Christmas, that later dressed in full regalia (almost like the Pope), played by a Bla... |

| The Second Video makes brief mention of the Khazars. A lot of modern Jews are offended at the notion that some Eastern-European Jews might be descended from the Khazars (people who converted to Judaism over a thousand years ago). Modern Jews typically like to regard themselves as being direct desce... |

Gosh.
A major innovator in TV.
Saw him being saluted on TV ...not in theater but an intimate littile roundtable of stars of his past shows....like a year ago. Not a moment too soon. |

| Yes. Life was simpler when...Saddam Hussein was in power. Iraq was a bulwark against Iran. So the Saudies didnt feel so threatened. And it was harder for Iran to extend its influence westward to the shore of the Mediterranean ...to support Hezbollah and HAMAS. Bush really destabilized both Iraq and ... |

| Thats true. Further...if ISIS gains power in Afghanistan it may use the place as a base. One of the reasons they hate the Taliban and think the Taliban has gone soft...is that the Taliban kisses China's ass to get economic aid and investment from China. And as a result the Taliban looks the other wa... |

| ^ And Hezbollah's Shiites also believe in the return of the Christ lol, alongside with Imam al-Mahdi, and together will defeat the AntiChrist in the endtimes.
