KENNETH ROGOFF
(born Mar-22-1953, 72 years old) United States of America

[what is this?]

Kenneth Saul Rogoff learned chess from his father at age six, but only took up the game in earnest when he received a chess set for his 13th birthday. He was soon recognized as a chess prodigy. By age 14, he was a USCF Master and New York State Open Champion, and shortly thereafter became a Senior Master, the highest US national title.

At 16, Rogoff dropped out of high school to concentrate on chess. He won the 1969 United States Junior Championship. Rogoff spent the next several years living primarily in Europe and playing in tournaments there. He finished third in the 1971 World Junior Championship, behind winner Werner Hug and Zoltan Ribli (second). At 18, he decided to go to college and pursue a career in economics rather than become a chess professional, but continued to play and improve for several years afterward.

FIDE awarded Rogoff the IM title in 1974, and the GM title in 1978. His best tournament result was second place at the United States Championship (1975), half a point behind six-time champion Walter Browne. This qualified him for the Biel Interzonal (1976), where he finished tied for 13th–15th. He tied for second with eight other players at Lone Pine (1976), half a point behind Tigran Petrosian. Rogoff tied for first at Norristown (1973) and Orense 1976.

Early in his economics career, Rogoff served as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund and also on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He is currently the Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Harvard University.

Oct-17-24  The Integrity: <optimal play: For one thing, the Orthodox Church is based in Eastern Europe and does not have the far-reaching influence of the Catholic Church, so it was not targeted by the Marxists to nearly the same extent.>

The Marxists, the Marxists...

Marxists = Jews

Some light reading on the subject:

https://www.henrymakow.com/2015/04/...

https://www.jewworldorder.org/how-t...

"The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit" is a book by Dr. E. Michael Jones that outlines through a tour of world history, Jewish strategies designed to oppose Christian society from the times of Christ to the present day.

<The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit by Dr. E. Michael Jones is the story of the 2,000 year long battle between Logos and Anti-Logos: from the foot of the Cross in the Gospel of St. John, to the French Revolution, through the revolutionary movements of the 21st century, including the Neoconservative takeover of the United States.

Israel Shamir, who understands this battle well, described this as “a monumental book which scoops two thousand years of troublesome relations between Christendom and the Jews, and endeavors to connect Jewish strategies of permanent revolution with the permanent Jewish rebellion against Christ. This timely book may help to regain the lost balance between Judaic and Christian tendencies in the Western mind.” >

https://www.fidelitypress.org/book-...

And my favorite Jew, Brother Nathanael, has a short interview on his website with Dr. Jones. Brother Nathanael is an Orthodox Priest who was born a Jew. A very interesting character to say the least!

  al wazir: <MrMelad: Sinwar eliminated!> Maybe.

<The Israeli military said Wednesday that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar may have been among those killed in a recent operation in the Gaza Strip.> https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...

Was it *this* "recent operation"?

<An Israeli airstrike on a United Nations school being used as a shelter for displaced people killed more than two dozen people in northern Gaza on Thursday, according to rescue workers and the Gaza government media office.> https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/1...

If it was, it raises two questions:

What was Sinwar doing in a "shelter of displaced people"?

Were the two dozen civilian deaths an unacceptable degree of "collateral damage"?

No.

  HeMateMe: Oh, it was a Trump/Latino event I mentioned above, covered by Telemundo. When the camera panned the audience they mostly looked worried or disgusted to me. This wasn't a handpicked trump audience. The event seemed to go about as well as Grandpa Trump appearing at the black journalists gathering.
Oct-17-24  The Integrity: < areknames: Anyone who molests a child is not a man of God. In my book that's as low as you can sink. I know this abuse occurs in other churches but I too believe that the Catholic Church attracts many of those perverts. There was a case here some years ago, where Cardinal George Pell, one of top guys in the Vatican, had to stand trial for historic cases of child sexual abuse, one of his alleged victims later committed suicide and therefore couldn't testify. Pell was sent to jail but his conviction was quashed on appeal. He is dead now and according to the law he was innocent but I still have my doubts. Pell was very good friends with Gerard Ridsdale, probably Australia's most notorious paedophile who abused countless children, some of them as young as four. Four! Ridsdale has spent 30 years in jail, him and Pell shared lodgings when they were young and the Cardinal supported him in court during his various trials. I just wonder...>

When the Catholic Church started letting in the Libs, the Libs started sodomizing the children. And once the Libs got a good foothold in the Catholic Church, they established a homosexual friendly environment, just as they've done outside the Catholic Church.

Notice there are close to zero cases where the Libs molest little girls? It's almost always boys - because it's a homo thing.

Libs = homos = pedos = evil = godless

Just look at this page for proof. All the homos, pedos, godless and libs hang together. That's just who they are.

Oct-17-24  MrMelad: <al wazir: Were the two dozen civilian deaths an unacceptable degree of "collateral damage"?>

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not deeply informed about all recent events. Keeping up with the news here can be overwhelming. But in this particular case, I remember the IDF reporting that they had eliminated “tens” of terrorists, so from what I understand, everyone in this “school” was a combatant. That said, I could be mistaken.

Oct-17-24  Rdb: Idiot : Those who believe in God can not be paedophile. Only godless people are paedophile

Me : That's a harmful stereotype. Belief in God does not guarantee moral behavior. Pedophilia is a serious crime and mental disorder that can affect anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs

Oct-17-24  Rdb: Idiot : All paedophile are liberals , conservatives can not be paedophile

Me ; That's a harmful stereotype and a dangerous generalization. Pedophilia is a complex psychological disorder that can affect anyone, regardless of their political affiliation. It's important to avoid making assumptions about people based on their political beliefs

Why is everyone talking about EVs?

Democrat fascism is the problem with EVs.

EV = Roach Infested Slum Tenement.

Still unconfirmed, long after your unsourced lie of a post.

Oct-17-24  The Integrity: I just realized Camel Hairs was interviewed by Bret Baier last night. She's being mocked all over the internet! I haven't watched the interview but I did see a 30 second clip on youtube and it was BRUTAL!

Bret confronted her on Biden being mentally unfit for office and asked Camel Hairs when she finally noticed there was an issue. She did not handle it well.

Harris acquitted herself well in the interview, as any objective viewer would see. She answered questions directly (until interrupted) and called Baier out for cherry-picking a Trump quote that was not representative of Trump's views.

What really stood out was that Baier repeatedly interrupted Harris within a couple of seconds, giving her no chance to answer.
