12 WEALTH GENERATING LESSONS FROM THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
I have been privileged to work closely with amazing people from different cultural backgrounds. Let's discuss what we can learn from the Jewish community. This is not about a racial divide but for learning purposes. S/o Alux

1.JUDAISM & WEALTH: They believe every person must work hard to avoid poverty, they also believe in the principle of giving. They don’t believe in relying on charity to lift themselves up Or to become a burden to your community. Most grow up believing success as the only option.
2.SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY: They believe in sharing their wealth to benefit their community. Judaic law instructs "the poor must be respected &protected." Perhaps it also comes from a long history of being marginalized, But the Jews have pride in supporting each other's businesses.
3. THE VALUE OF MONEY: in many of our households discussing finances is still taboo. Many Jewish parents use the 5 jars techniq to teach their children; separating Tithe/Giving/Savings/Investing &Spending. As kids, they learn consequences early that most of us are learning now
4. DIVERSIFICATION: they manage wealth with spiritual motivation & diversification. Their investments are widespread, not allocated as a single asset or exposed to a single risk, the way most of us just have a single job. "Don’t put all your eggs in one basket “ principle
5. STUDYING PATTERNS: History repeats itself, the Jews are well aware & take advantage of this. All these circumstances now are not new, Jews study &understand that market patterns repeat themselves so that they can take action. They look at the past to plan the future
6. INTERESTS: In the middle ages, Christian laws prevented lending for profit, but the Jews became prominent in money lending bcoz they shared a different view. Lending to Christians, Emperors. Rescuing national banks. Brokering for kings. AND you know the POWER of DEBT.
7. BUILDING THEIR OWN BANKS: As Merchants who initially weren't permitted to get into real-estate in Europe, they pushed their money lending far as establishing banks all over. Imagine, the likes of Rothschild's acted as a central bank for Europe. This led to serious hatred. 😔
8. NETWORKING: It's an ancient Jewish practice used to build their businesses, build and spread ideas, Some built their networks by lending at low rates to politically important lords and princes. Many used their connections to create family fortunes. They are stronger together
9. MOST EDUCATED GROUP: More credentials lead to a higher financial starting salary. They also believe in training children with skills while young. They train kids to be more specialized. Jews are a relatively small population but in skilled &economically profitable occupations.
10. RELIGOUS TEACHINGS ON BUSINESS PRACTICES: The Torah & many of their teachings are against dishonest practices. E.g. Deception/ Price fixing/ Cheating a customer are considered as "Ona'ah" (Oppression of their freedom). So to many the Jews are attractive business partners
11. RESILIENCE WITH PURPOSE: Despite the extreme forces against them, the Jews are known for perseverance. Amazing how they keep rising. They still choose purpose in spite of difficulties or obstacles they have been through. This is spirit groomed from home, whilst still young.
12. FINANCIAL EDUCATION taught over generations: most of our successful people die together with their riches (wisdom) leaving the families to fight for what's left or having to start from scratch. The Jews are good at passing on successful principles to the next generations.

#Disclaimer, not all Jews are rich but there is so much to learn from them.

A long thread on how an obsessive & violent antisemite & Holocaust denier has been embraced by the international “community of the good.”

Sarah Wilkinson has a history of Holocaust denial & anti-Jewish hatred dating back (in documented examples) to around 2015.


She is a self-proclaimed British activist for “Palestinian rights” but is more accurately a far Left neo-Nazi. Her son shares the same characteristics of violence, racism & Holocaust denial.

I first documented Sarah Wilkinson’s Holocaust denial back in July 2016. I believe I was the 1st person to do so.

Since then she has produced a long trail of written hate and abuse. See here for a good summary.


Wilkinson has recently been publicly celebrated by @XRebellionUK over her latest violent action against a Jewish owned business. Despite many people calling XR’s attention to her history, XR have chosen to remain in alliance with this neo-Nazi.

Former Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP is among those who also chose to stand with Wilkinson via a tweet.

But McDonnell is not alone.

Neo-Nazi Sarah Wilkinson is supported and encouraged by thousands of those on the Left who consider themselves “anti-racists”.
I've seen many news articles cite that "the UK variant could be the dominant strain by March". This is emphasized by @CDCDirector.

While this will likely to be the case, this should not be an automatic cause for concern. Cases could still remain contained.

Here's how: 🧵

One of @CDCgov's own models has tracked the true decline in cases quite accurately thus far.

Their projection shows that the B.1.1.7 variant will become the dominant variant in March. But interestingly... there's no fourth wave. Cases simply level out:

Just because a variant becomes the dominant strain does not automatically mean we will see a repeat of Fall 2020.

Let's look at UK and South Africa, where cases have been falling for the past month, in unison with the US (albeit with tougher restrictions):


Furthermore, the claim that the "variant is doubling every 10 days" is false. It's the *proportion of the variant* that is doubling every 10 days.

If overall prevalence drops during the studied time period, the true doubling time of the variant is actually much longer 10 days.

Simple example:

Day 0: 10 variant / 100 cases -> 10% variant
Day 10: 15 variant / 75 cases -> 20% variant
Day 20: 20 variant / 50 cases -> 40% variant

1) Proportion of variant doubles every 10 days
2) Doubling time of variant is actually 20 days
3) Total cases still drop by 50%
