The Learning Diary of an Israeli Water Engineer

Are They Reading This Blog?

2012-01-27T14:08:00.002+02:00

Two days ago I made fun of the Government of Israel's Program to Improve Marital Relations in the Ethiopian community. Today, the program was - partially - rejected. Did I do it?

I'll let that question open. The fact is that the Ministry of Immigration rejected the materials prepared for the program and will not make use of them. There is no need for explanations since the bitter rivalry among the Ministries is sufficient cause for rejecting each other's programs. Unnecesarily, they did provide an explanation: the program intends to remake Third World adults into Western middle class persons, which is the wrong approach. One should never take a person and erase its past, its culture and its traditions and refill its head, now empty, with foreign Western ideas. The correct approach is TO RESPECT and to build on on those rooted African traditions.

Like wife-killing.

A Learning Nation

2012-01-27T09:54:00.005+02:00

The taking of the Turkish ship Navi Marmara left us a trauma: when attacked by a mob of unarmed Turks, our commando was forced to use firearms and kill nine. It was a major international scandal. But we learn. If anything, what distinguishes us Jews is that we are continuously learning. So the Israeli Army is learning Krav Maga (Contact Combat) to fight "white" that is non fire weapons encounters. Golda Meir lamented that the Arabs forced us to learn to kill, and learn we did. Now the Turks have forced us to learn personal violence, and we learn. We learn how to do "killer's eyes", how to develope a crazy berserk mood, how to cultivate and control a violent mindset and so on. We learn חוסן נפשי = spiritual stamina. Not what we Jews aspire to do or be.

Revolutionary Human Nature Remake Program by the Israeli Government: Ethiopians to turn into Ashkenazi Jews!

2012-01-26T08:40:00.017+02:00

Israel has decided to change the inborn nature of its African immigrants and make them Ashkenazi Jews. TOCHNIT ZUGIOT LEOLIM - how to translate it? Program for Teaching Immigrants to live in Couple? has been launched by the Israeli Government. It is a grandiose and very expensive government program that will deal with the acute problem that Israel's newest immigrants, those from the Ethiopian highlands, do not form families in the traditional Ashkenazi (or Western) mold, but live and reproduce in a complex matrix of male-female relationships. I say complex because I (and all other Jews) dont understand it. it may be quite simple, I dont know. And there is the issue of wife killing. The Government has long proclaimed that there is a severe problem of wife beating and wife killing in Israel, and all public employees were sent to re-education courses. I worked for the Government then, and all the people from my office - 60 years old Russian engineers with coronary problems, unmarried secretaries, an old Moroccan protocol writer lady - divorced with adult children, the fat cleaning lady, Mr Goldfarb the 70 years old Polish outside consultant with stomach cancer - we were forced to attend a course in Jerusalem, where we were re-programmed to not to kill our wives. (*)

No one can say that the Israeli Government does not learn. Today they have discovered that all, 100% of wife killing episodes are committed by Ethiopian males, so they are leaving us Ashkenazi superannuated engineers in peace. The Government is launching a fantastic program to re-educated Ethiopians to teach them what a couple is and what must be the relationships within a Jewish couple. In the Haredi sector there are many courses of Jewish morals and relationships, very much enjoyed by Haredi women who have no access to kitchen-variety porn. But this Ethiopian reform program has nothing to do with Judaism. It has been designed by left-wing liberal progressive psychology professors, experts in social work, writers of educational brochures, in short the very cream of the Israeli social sciences establishment. I suspect the program means a large source of well paid employment for this sector, and not only at the academic level but also for the many thousands of female social science graduates continuously generated by the schools.

The Program has immense possibilities because it deals with a social problem that is not exclusive to Israel but to very common in all the African Continent and the African-American community in the United States, Great Britain, everywhere. The Israeli experiment will be fully documented and analysed, conclusions drawn and academic and policy papers written, and the results published (I have no doubt that the numbers will show a tremendous improvement. Boas and Levontin's blood still runs in our veins, no?). I prophesy that in 2022 American social scientists will come to study the program in Israel and our experts will be consulting for all Western Governments.

Ah! to be young today! To work on sex relationships within the couple with Israeli and American social sciences chicks! But I am an old water and sewage engineer...! :-(

(*) The re-programming was totally succesful. Since then, no one killed his wife.

Parking Roof Collapse

2012-01-24T22:28:00.001+02:00

Petach Tikva, the roof of a parking collapsed damaging a few cars. The fire fighters arrived inforce, four big new vehicles, dozens of clownish fighters, TV and of course the Minister who gave an interview. The firefighters received 800 new recruits, and many million shekels additional budget. The Minister had said that the fire fighters organization was resistant to changes, the union was too powerful and the employees received too high salaries. So all the new people and money is not poured into the old organization but created a parallel, semi-independent organization, sharing the same facilities. The idea is, I assume, to introduce some competition in the branch.

To me it is obvious that the collapse was caused by the rains, and the cement plate weakened by sewage piped embedded in it, something that should never be done. So much for Petach Tiwa Engineering Department. They know only to ask for more and more drawings, torturing us poor engineers. How was approved this monstruosity of a parking floor with 4" sewage pipe in it?

Anti-Jewish Hate Campaign in Israel

2012-01-24T10:27:00.002+02:00

The caricature is from today's HaAretz, the most intelligent and well written paper in Israel (my wife is suscribed). This fishwrap is the driving force of the anti-Jewish campaign flooding Israel. The caricature shows a group of bearded religious Jews dancing with 100 dollar bills falling around from their pockets. Der Sturmer published this kind of caricatures.

The religious leaders have long said that HaAretz is antisemite and although it seems absurd that a paper founded by one of the leaders of German Jewry and written in (good) Hebrew could be qualified as anitsemite, I cannot but agree and say that HaAretz is antisemite. HaAretz and the people it represents, the leftist intellectuals, hate Jews and Judaism. Hate as in raging, furious, irrational, gut-level, blind hate.

Why should this thing be? One thng HaAretz maintains is that the religious are a burden to the State of Israel, that instead of working in the high tech sector they study ancient theological treatises full of superstition. All over the world students, specially university level divinity students, are exempt from military service and are subsidized. Religious students in Israel are NOT subsidized while (say) postgraduate studies in the Snake-cult religion of the Mayas ARE SUBSIDIZED.

HaAretz demands to stop social security payments to religious families. Apart from the sheer evility turning thousands of decent Jews into street beggars, about 60% of the religious population is under the age of 18, and in Israel's and all Western countries laws, minors are under State protection. If the parents cannot feed the children, the State takes them into institutions and feeds them and educates them till age 18. Under the Mapai regime, till the seventies, the State of Israel regularly abducted the children of large religious families and sent them to educate in remote left-wing kibutzim and "agricultural internates" so the parents could not visit them. That era has passed but HaAretz thinks that religious education is wrong and hurts the children making parasytes and bad persons from them. To HaAretz and the Labour Party chldren should be taken away from the bad influence of the ignorant parents as it was done in the not so far past. Of course caring for and educating these children within their own families costs much less than in public institutes, but they are ready to sacrifice us for the good of society and the future.

Why the religious Jews in Israel are hated to this irrational extreme and why intelligent people are demanding violent measures to punish them and their children, even at the cost of large public expenditure and risk to social stability? Why HaAretz goes to the extreme of publishing Der Sturmer caricatures against Jews?

In my opinion, the explicative power of Darwin's theory of evolution holds here. High IQ people are not having children in Israel (nor in other places). I see every day the bitterness of my friends and collegues for their "successful" but unmarried and sterile sons and daugthers, with their prestigious Ph.D. diplomas from Stanford and well paying jobs in Intel and Microsoft. I see the yellow envy in their faces when a 75 years old fellow announces in triumph that at long last he has turned grandfather.

A dying people must hate those reproducing. I can understand the theory that the genocyde that the Germans planned and executed on East European Jews was motivated - at some deep level - by the fear of being out-reproduced by them (Germans, then as today, was an aging population, while Eastern traditional masses were young and colonizing). Non-reproducing German Jews, on the other hand, were allowed to emigrate and escape the Nazi furor.

In conclusion, there is something in it when religious Jews in Israel say that they are being harassed like in an antisemite country. I shall vote for Netaniyahu.

Bank of Israel's Big Failure

2012-01-24T09:23:00.001+02:00

Bank of Israel sold 1.5 billion worth of 10 year bonds at an average interest rate 2% above similar T bonds. There was demand for 5 billion dollars, it was oversubscribed.

This emmission is touted as a bid success, showing that investors have confidence in the State of Israel and that we are able to receive money much cheaper than any European country. Nice.

Just to vent out my inner overflowing evilness, I say it was a big failure. If the demand was so large as it was, Bank of Israel is overpaying and could well have sold the same bonds at American rates. Or Japanese rates, that is below 0%. Let investors pay us for holding their money. THAT would have been a triumph!

Murray's New Book

2012-01-22T20:53:00.008+02:00

Murray's new book describes the dissolution and degradation of America's White working class in the last two generations. Personally, the American Jews I meet here in Israel dont seem degraded except for love of free sex and late marriage. Remember: I am desperate to get rid of my unmarried daughters and Americans are not helping.

The weakness of Murray's work is his idealism, its total disregard of the economic infrastructure of his findings. He ignores Hegel's dialectics and ignores Marx's materialism, that class is consequence of the social mode of production and the new American class structure grows out of America's new methods of production.

Five or six thousand coal miners produce all America's coal, a few thousand farmers produce mountains of soybeans, corn and wheat that feed half of the world, a few dozen nuclear power plants generate much of America's electricity. Modern factories (and I know a few in Israel) are ghostly: large floors full of silent machines and nowhere a man to be seen. Simply put, there is no need for nor use for uneducated males. The economy can employ technically educated people, and not too many of them neither. There is unemployment among mathematicians too.

Murray describes what the surplus males do: Sunshine Club. They work and strive less than former American generations, they spend time in games and meaningless sex. Men will not marry.

All in all, America's GNP and military might will grow (without need for the White male proletariat). But the solution is obvious - America will be the New Rome. To keep the suprlus proletariat busy and maintain social stability, they will be give PANEM ET CIRCUS, social security and free TV. Maybe foreign low-tech wars to maintain their male self esteem.

Thanks to our abominable, beastly, heinous, vile enemies that give us no pause, we in Israel are free of America's social problems.

Jeddawis Solving Sewage Problems

2012-01-22T08:46:00.004+02:00

Jedda in the Hejaz (I dont recognize Saudi Arabia) has no working sewage systems, so the people dig big holes and let the liquid to infiltrate in the aquifer. Apparently they have yet to hear of the cholera epidemy in London in the eighteen sixties. The Sewage Authority suspects something may be wrong and is working to solve the problem. "Working" may be too hard a word for it. In their on own words:

"This trend is illegal and the branch municipalities are watching these phenomena with the aim of reducing it."

Meanwhile, director of Civil Defense in Jeddah Brig. Abdullah Hassan Al-Jiddawi warned against digging random wells and said it was a gross violation of the safety measures. “Many people have lost their lives by falling into these wells,” he said. Regarding intestinal diseases, they always were and always will be, Allah willing.

Jiddah means seashore, had about 25,000 inhabitants in 1947. Today it has 2 - 3 million and growing.

Orange Alert

Franchuta Vieja

2012-01-20T16:48:00.004+02:00

I'm having a slow chat with an old friend in Argentina and at the same time, losing myself in the vastity of the Internet. Before English I learned French, which was more important in Argentina and reading the French Parlamentary Report on Israeli Apartheid the sound of French comes back to me. I never liked French literature.

La ségrégation est aussi hautaine et méprisante (« ces gens-là ne sont pas responsables »…répètent à l'envie certains responsables israéliens), vexatrice et humiliante (les passages aux check point sont restreints ou relâchés sans prévenir) voire violentes (la répression des manifestations fait régulièrement des morts…).

The report says nothing material about apartheid. There are no water fountains for Jews and water fountains for Palestinians, there are no WC for Jews and separate ones for Arabs, as was usual in South Africa under Malan (the report mentions him). It does not accuse Israel of stealing Arab water, as UN reports normally do. The most damning accusation I found in the report is about some Israeli official commenting that the Palestinian "responsibles" did not take their responsabilities very seriously. For the French hypocrite this is the odious attitude of a colonial. They invented diplomacy. They throw a stone and say it is a meteorite. Pfuiia. The title refers to a tango.

The Demand for My Services is Growing

2012-01-20T07:31:00.004+02:00

I'm fully booked and new clients are begging me to accept their cases. An area I was involved from the beginning is starting to develope and become a serious market for my consulting services.

Tnuva, Israel largest dairy company, was fined 15 million shekel (about 4 million dollars). The reason, sending "polluted" wastewaters to be discharged to the sea. The charge is ridiculous and may seem bizarre to an observer in another country, yet 4 million dollars are real money.

Ten years ago it was legislated that nothing can be discharged into the sea without a permit. Seaside municipalities soon erected wastewater treatment plants and discharged only treated liquids. Municipal employees and ministry of environment employees are twin creatures, so they seldom attack each other. With hated private companies the attitude is different: "They should reduce their exaggerated profits and pay for using public space" (Free quote from the current minister of environment).

The first legislated area was "Timlachot" that is waters with a salt content 200 mg more than tap water. Tap water in Israel has about 300 to 600 mg salt content so we are talking about wastewaters with 800 mg NaCl content. It is absolutely forbidden to discharge those waters into rivers or lakes because of the fear that they may salinize groundwater. It is also forbidden to discharge them into sea, except with a permit. The idea is that this saltwater will pollute the seawater, which has about 35,000 mg salt content.

In my humble opinion, 800 mg water will DILUTE 35,000 mg seawater, not salinize it. They may have noticed that so the legislation was expanded to regulate additional parameters such as metals (seawater is even more rich in metal ions than in salt), BOD, COD, pH, odors and colors. All discharge was to be done only through two controlled sea outfalls - one in Tel Aviv and the other one in Haifa. The owners of the outfalls soon started collecting monopoly rents. They have a nice business model.

Now, Tnuva the hated dairy for-profit monopoly, sent its waters to be discharged into the sea and in some cases it was slightly acidic or milky/turbulent. The Ministry sent them letters, demanded explanations, requested to be submitted a technical plan to remedy the situation (the kind of things I do for a living), and demanded reports and so on. According to the lawyers (working on the bsais of percentage of the fines collected), Tnuva failed to submit those papers and continued conveying its waters to the outfall operator and paying the fees. But did not explain a thing. Now they will have to pay 4 million dollars and the minister is making political capital on its back, painting them as an environmental criminal greedy fascist monopoly and himself the defender of the public.

I can well imagine what happened. Tnuva is a large company and enjoys hundreds of regulators sucking its blood and living off it. Tnuva people felt they were complying with a stupid law at a large cost to themselves. They did not consider that the letters sent by the Ministry asking for information (they receive hundreds per month) had any importance. Probably they were standard letters signed with an (+) by a secretary. They let time pass without answering, hoping that the regulators will forget, be transferred or new things will come up. That is what many companies do.

But last summer Tnuva was the object of public protests and demonstrations, specifically for the price of its cottage cheese, which some ignorant journalist discovered was higher in Israel than Europe. (Europe subsidizes its dairy sector, but that is irrelevant). Tnuva became the symbol embodying the capitalist monopolist greedy corporation, and the perfect victim for a populist politician. Not answering those letters is costing Tnuva now 4 million dollars.

I always beg my clients to send me any regulatory letter of phone calls they receive, to answer and to keep entertained the bureaucrats. That works.

I learned that technique from my friend .. former chief of Shafdan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant is dumping untreated human sludge into the sea, against all the legislation and regulations. It was sued dozens of times in the last twenty years. They always answer politely and submit plans and designs and investment processes they are advancing. Myself participated in many meeting to decide which is the best technique to process, digest, pelletize, recycle, compostize, etc. the sludge. We had very important, very interesting debates. Foreign experts were called in and delivered magnificent powerpoint lectures. I spent days writing down protocols. Twenty years have passed and Shafdan is still dumping untreated sewage in the Mediterranean. It has yet to complete the design and then, surely, it will start arranging the financing and proceed to build the facility.

That is the difference between Shafdan (a publicly owned non-profit corporation, paying fantastic salaries to its managers) and Tnuva (a greedy capitalist oligopoly): The bureaucrats of Shafdan know how to deal with fellow bureaucrats. As a former bureaucrat myself, I also know how to deflect stupid regulations, but I dont know how to make (real) money from it.

Gulag Rations

Boiled whole grain wild wheat with paper-thin chicken breast. Is this the fare of a Gulag immate? But what am I complaining of? This is a veritable feast on J's table. Normally it is boiled whole grain buckwheat, oat, millet, barley, etc. Horses liked it in the old country, they never protested, what was good for them, must be good for J. I am lucky she hasnt discovered (yet) that these are cultivated cereals, the real natural unpolluted wild ones are the Spelt, the Einkorn, the Emmer, the Durum (from the Latin "hard") and its Papa, the Paleolithic (*) Kamut.

HaAretz Protests against Wife-killing

2012-01-19T09:15:00.008+02:00

We have here 120000 Ethiopian immigrants, who brought with themselves the endearing custom of wife-killing. Dealing with rebellious womenfolk makes perfect evolutionary sense but Israeli society is dysgenic. Wife-killing worries the Israeli Ministry of Justice, fully in the hands of feminists, since punishing and re-educating Ethiopian males does not work. Thus the front page article today in HaAretz: The Government causes Ethiopians to kill their wives and hides the damning reports and research studies. No kidding. Enormous demonstrations this week in Israel where people paint their faces in black and white to protest against the racist discrimination (pic).

One point they do have is that the educational system (also peopled by Israelis of the feminist persuasion, although of a less virulent variety) discriminates against Ethiopian children who are not sent to regular classes. I tried to explain to my daughter that it makes no sense to mix children of IQ 120 with children of IQ 70, the level of overachieving Pan spp. Do you want violent morons in your class? Children who cant read and disturb the class? She says we are all the same and I am racist. On the other hand, that elitist class of hers caused the expulsion of violent non-Ashkenazi boys - arsim in the local lingo. The parents association acted decisively. She does not see any relationship. My hope is that when it comes to her personal wellbeing, she acts rationally.

The Mefitic Effects of Climate Change

2012-01-17T19:47:00.004+02:00

I'm a bit tired after spending the morning walking up and down in a tall (50m) building on Tel Aviv seaside. They hired me to solve an unsolvable problem of on-off air pollution (sewage odor) problem. The owners are terrified of getting a bad name - they explained me that today people post opinions on the internet and it is retransmitted like a wild fire, and the building can acquire in no time a bad name with dire commercial consequences. So I will not even insinuate which building it may be.

Standing in the strong wind at 50 meter high roof facing the stormy Mediterranean (Are you afraid of heights? the bastards asked) I formulated a theory: the strong wind may cause, by the Venturi effect, a suction force in the soil-air pipes and temporarily empty the odor traps in the higher floors. But why has appeared this issue now and never before? May be people was less sensible to air quality in the past, may be before the internet their opinion was of less consequence, and may be the climate has changed and the Eastern Mediterranean winds at that altitude are stronger than before. I asked for a thousand dollars for the solution. They insinuated that I was dirt cheap, the amount asked is insignificant relative the public relations disaster they are facing. They succeeded in spoiling my excitement of having a non-routine, interesting problem to solve. I'll keep myself (and you) posted about my progress.

La France Accuse: "Water Apartheid"

2012-01-17T08:50:00.005+02:00

The News:

The French parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee published a report accusing Israel of implementing "apartheid" policies in its allocation of water resources in the West Bank. The report said that water has become "a weapon serving the new apartheid" and gave examples and statistics that ostensibly back this claim.

"Some 450,000 Israeli settlers on the West Bank use more water than the 2.3 million Palestinians that live there," the report said. "In times of drought, in contravention of international law, the settlers get priority for water."

The author of the report was Socialist Party MP Jean Glavany, who in the past served as agriculture minister under French President Lionel Jospin and as cabinet secretary for President Francois Mitterrand.

J's Comment: Yes, we use more water than the Palestinians. And Parisians use more water than Sudanese goat-herders. When Sudanese goats suffer thirst, Parisians dont help them. The French are shameless.

BTW, there are already 600,000 Jews living in the West Bank, about a third of the population. The idea is to become majority in our days amen.

Greg Cochrane is Wrong About Ashkenazi IQ

2012-01-16T11:22:00.006+02:00

From the Guard Your Eyes site:

Dear Guard your Eyes,

My husband is 30 years old and we've been married for 8 years. For the last 7 years (perhaps even longer, I don’t know) he's been a Lust addict. I've caught him with newspapers, with a magazine, on the internet, acting out, etc. There have been many ups and downs over the years (mostly downs) and I'm slowly reaching a point of despair. I am so full of questions and doubts, and most of all I have no-one to talk to. We recently started therapy...

I thought it was a satirical site, but not, it is dead serious. This site proves that everything Greg Cochrane wrote about Ashkenazi IQ is wrong. Somos mas locos que una cabra (we are crazier than a goat).
