I love Waj! Funny, smart well informed

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Waj maybe funny and he may be informed, but he refused to acknowledge that he is a Sheit and favors Iran. That is a coward. He should at least be honest and say where he is coming from.

Gordon Shumway's avatar

WTF is a "Sheit"? Do you mean "Shiite" or "Shia"? And what difference does it make when he's lambasting the lying Cheeto over the ballroom? 😒

Pjg's avatar

He is always honest! Remember, we have free speech, and freedom of religion in the country according to the constitution; therefore is entitled to his opinion just as you’ve are able to express yours. 🤐🤐🤐

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Of course, I think I said that myself. Waj is free to express his views as am I. Everyone though has an opinion based on their beliefs. I was raised in the Judeo-Christian viewpoint. I have Jewish and Christian (Eastern Orthodox) and Asian (China) ancestors. I do not know a lot about the beliefs of people in China but I do know about Jewish and Christian beliefs. I know something about Islamic beliefs but I could certainly could know a lot more and Waj could enlighten me sometime, as I understand that that is his religion, but he can correct me if I am mistaken.

LaTanya's avatar

Waj is refreshingly! He is spot on with his political analysis and perspectives and he has a boldness to him. That’s just so refreshing! his religious background our beliefs are his business , Totally fucking irrelevant. He is unapologetic while calling out the BS we have to deal with every single day.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Sorry I misspelled it. You are correct it is Shiite. It makes no difference what Waj,'s religion is when he is lambasting the lying Cheeto. That was not my point, and I agree with you and Waj about the ballroom. I agree with Waj on some things, I am not a fan of Trump or the Cheeto or whatever you want to call him. My point is that Waj has a certain point of view that he should admit. I have a certain point of view as well and I am not afraid to admit it. I have said before where I come from and where my ancestors came from. I have Jewish, Eastern Orthodox Christain and China ancestry. I am not afraid to disclose it. I admit that my views are based on my ancestry. I try to be fair but I cannot discount the influences of my ancestors on my views, and neither can Waj. I am not hiding anything and neither should Waj if he wants to be treated as a credible source of information and not just be a sounding board for the government of Iran, or any other government for that matter.

Netanyahu IS an INTERNATIONAL criminal.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I was not talking about Netanyahu, I was talking about Waj and how he is a Sheit follower of Islam which is the truth and has nothing whatsoever to do about Netanyahu. I do NOT support Netanyahu who I believe is the current leader of Isreal. Net may be a criminal, I do not like what he is doing. However my opinions on Netanhyahu HAVE NOTHING TO DO With Waj, and what his religion is which I am informed is a Sheit follower of Islam. If I am mistaken, then correct me. I do not want to misrepresent what anyone is. I do not like Netanyahu and I NEVER SAID I DID, so WHY ARE YOU EVEN BRINGING IT UP, IT IS IRRELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION.

Jill Berquist's avatar

his commentary does not support Iran over the U.S., he calls out atrocities and causes that many American would be concerned about from women’s issues to voter rights to fraud and criminality. And PS - I am Jewish and believe in theory all about Jews needing Israel, and I believe Bibi is a war criminal and a terrible thing that’s happened to the Jews and both can be true. He had much of Israel against him before 10/7, as you know. (adding on 5-11: I know this thread did not start about Netinanyahu...but I raised the analogy about myself as a Jew...because who knows, just supposing, that even if Waj identified as a Muslim.. Pakistani or otherwise..it would not portend that he aligned with the views in Iranian society that oppress women, or mercilessly kill people. Just our own cautionary tale about painting groups or religions with a broad brush. I think most people here, including @Elena agree! ) And may I just say, that we could be much more civil and set a better example in these threads -- yeesh. It is very easy to come at people from behind a computer or phone. Lets be part of the solution, not problem, <3.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

How come Waj never says anything about the horrible treatment of women of all ages in the country of Iran? Or if he does, then please tell me where on this posting site it is posted. This has nothing to do with Bibi or Israel or even Jews, or even OTHER ISLAMIC COUNTRIES that do not treat their women badly like Iran does. However while these other countries also follow the religion of Islam, it is NOT the same version of Islam namely, the Shiite version that the majority of people in Iran follow, I know I spelled it wrong the first time and I am sorry for doing that. There are other types of people who treat women horribly in certain other parts of the word. The Shiites are not the only ones who do this. However, again it is my understanding that Waj practices the Shiite version of Islam. AGAIN I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT. Since this is Waj's board he of course can clarify his religious views which I did with respect to myself and can do again if anyone missed my comments on that issue.

M. F. Hopkins's avatar

On several occasions on his channel, he HAS criticized Iran on it's treatment of women... where you been? Girl... BYE.

COREY GAVIN's avatar

She's a propagandist, ignore her!!

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Well I did not even know Waj had a channel. Obviously I do not follow everything the man says or does as I have my own life. So if Waj did that then I applaud him for doing that. I did not see him do that on this post and he might want to mention the mistreatment of women in Iran here on this posting, BUT IF HE IS acknowledging that women in Iran are often mistreated and that needs to be changed I hereby thank for his honesty and bring this important issue to the attention of the Public. It seems that Waj and I may agree on a lot of issues, however that will not and should not stop me from commenting on the issues I do not agree with, notwithstanding I glad that Waj and I have agreement when we do.

Corena Gardner's avatar

You are wrong. You will have to research & find the times he’s mentioned women in Iran and women in the US. This regime is trying to take women’s rights & I hope you can see that too. I admire you for stating how you feel about Jews, (being one,) and the Israeli gov.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Where has Waj mentioned posting about women in Iran.??? Please provide the cite so I can read the material he posted for myself. I am not denying that Waj talks about how women are treated in the USA, I assume that is something he would have an opinion on which he is free to post on the internet.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

You are wrong and I have researched it and reviewed statements of women who were able to "escape" their horrible treatment in Iran by men some of whom are their own husbands and relatives. There are many of these women who testified under oath to the mistreatment of women in Iran. This has nothing to do with the treatment of women in the USA. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT. The Iranians are responsible for their mistreatment of their women and the few people who dare to practice a religion other than the Iranian version of Islam, which is not the version that the majority of people who indicate their faith is Islam believe. Islam just like CHRISTIANITY or even other religions in which there is a wide umbrella of people who call themselves a certain religion do not all practice their religion in the same way even if they call themselves the same thing. The followers of Islam in CHINA ARE CURRENTLY being genocided by the government of China and certain middle eastern followers of Islam could CARE less. That in my book is hypocracy.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

The people who call themselves followers in China, do not practice the same religion as the people in Iran even though they call themselves followers of Islam. I am not an expert on the differences, but I know they exist, just like Protestants do not believe the same things as Catholics or Eastern Orthodox (some of my ancestors), but they all call themselves Christians who follow the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth aka Jesus Christ.

Suzanne's avatar

Waj does talk about being Palestinian. WTF is your problem? What do you even know about the Iranians or Muslims? Stop absorbing all the lies. Without a war machine, the world billionaires wouldn't make their billions, and they wouldn't have a war machine without the lies creating all this hatred. We are all in this together!

Suzanne's avatar

That was my mistake, I have Palestine on my mind. And Elena, lighten up. It sounded as if you had a problem with Waj being Muslim. I wanted to know what the problem was, or why it mattered. I too am of mixed ansestry. My father was Ukrainian, my mother Canadian. I am 1st generation American and grew up Catholic, but 50/50… half Roman Catholic, half Orthodox. The differences were stark and made me take religion and politics seriously from a very young age. Just know I wasn't trying to trip your triggers, I want to understand why you said it.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I MAY have Muslim ancestry myself from China, it is probably true but I cannot prove it as a fact. However, the version of Islam in China is not the same as the version of Islam in Iran. I also have Jewish ancestry and Eastern Orthodox ancestors from Romania. The failure of the middle eastern followers of Islam to even recognize the genocide of the followers of Islam in China is true. However if you want to prove that I am wrong, please cite an Iranian Islamic publication that points out the persecution of followers of Islam in China. The Iranians do not even acknowledge the problem as far as I know, BUT YOU CAN SHOW ME SOMETHING that contradicts what I am saying if you want to.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Again I have NO problem with Waj being Muslim as I myself most likely have Muslim ancestors. Again my ancestors if they were Muslim came from China. In China the Muslims could care less about Jews or Isreal because they do not even know what a Jew is and have probably never met one. They also are not of the Christian faith so they probably do not know a lot about them either. It is a big world with billions of people in it.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I have no problem with Waj being Muslim, as I have said, It is likely that I have Muslim ancestors who came from China. I am not object to Waj being Muslim, I am objecting to his personal views which I think are wrong. It appears that he is following the view of certain Muslims who live in the country of Iran. THEY ARE NOT THE MAJORITY OF FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM. The majority of followers of Islam live in Asia, the country of Indonesia by the way has the largest population of followers of Islam in the World, again like the Muslims from China. Like Protestants do not believe the same things as Catholics, it should not be that difficult to understand that there are different version of Islam practiced throughout the world.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Waj talks about being Palestinian but I have never heard speak about his religion. One of my best friends in collage was a PALESTINIAN OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. I know people do not realize that there are Christians in Isreal as well as Jews and Muslims. They have their own specific views which do not necessarily agree with either the view of the Jews or the Muslims, that is all right with me.

Deborah Fexis's avatar

Actually, as far as I know, Waj is Pakistani, which is not the same as Palestinian-- look at a map. And I listen to him a fair amount. He talks about being a Muslim at least every other Substack posting.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I do not know what is happening with this Post, it is not letting me post my apology. I am sorry Waj I made a mistake, which I read from another source that was also mistaken. People mistake me all the time because I am of mixed ancestry and then cannot figure me out. Again, very sorry I will not make that mistake again.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I am sorry Waj for the mistake. I know that Pakistani are not the same as Palestinians, however the source I read said that Waj was Pakistani and I did not check the source for its credibility. THAT WAS MY BAD, I APPOLIGIZE, I will make sure I do not make that mistake again.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I do not need to explain myself to you. I know a lot about religion. I have disclosed it is possible that I HAVE MUSLIM ANCESTORS. The fact that they did not come from Iran or any part of the middle east does not mean I do not know about the Islamic religion. My ancestors were from China and yes their version of Islam is different than the Irainian version that does not mean I do not what I am talking about.

M. F. Hopkins's avatar

What a stupid ass comment. If you actually took the time to see his videos, you'd see that he isn't an 'Islamic terrorists lover' at all. Also note: Many people are against the current Israeli government - not against the Jewish people. I'm one of them, and I'm an agnostic. Get some schoolin', Elena, and stop spreading lies.

S Collins's avatar

Coward? Wow, that’s a reach.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Mr. Waj will not let me post here anymore. I guess what I said causes too much controversy.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Oh I was mistaken, Mr. Way is still letting me post my views which for the most part (but not everything) are contrary to his. I appreciate his willingness to allow me to post even though I do not agree with him on many issues.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

Waj sorry for my spelling mistakes.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

I know you said that five times, I read it the first time. Maybe that was a bad choice of words however, he will not admit what exactly his faith is, is it Sunni or Shiet??? I am why he is not disclosing this information?

alison's avatar

yeah, sorry, but there was no point where he needed to point that out.

was he wrong about (well, maybe) the gold statue in the library … CUZ THERE IS A REAL TRUMP GOLD STATUE in his golf course, at DORAL, Miami, FL today

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

His (Waj) views are based on his religion. I told you my religious background which I can do again if you missed it. I realize that my religious beliefs affect my positions but I am not afraid to disclose my beliefs or the beliefs of my ancestors.

Right about Joe and Merrick--they could have done something radical and prevented the disaster we're in now. Water under the dam now, sadly. But please--IS it the American voters we must blame? Or is it those totally suspicious 1.4% win margins in the last presidential election, oddly enabling the electoral votes to go to Trump without raising suspicion? What about the Russian social media troll farms influencing admittedly under-educated Americans to think incorrectly about what was going on? And what about plain brutal technological tampering with election results? I hear a lot of sanctimonious blather about how secure our election mechanisms are. I don't believe that, sorry. I think they're under siege. I think they're unreliable. I think the Trump techie billionaire bros are in there chewing on the wires. We have to do something about that. What??

Waj, when that post came out asking for verification of Israel having a nuclear weapon I immediately thought of your interview with Alyssa. Where she goes into the whole Zorro ranch stuff and it's immediacy to the atomic bomb sites.

Trump made enough money from all his grifts, he can afford to pay for it himself. We can't afford it. We can't afford this War.

Drey Dossier has said for months that she believes that underneath the ballroom is a bunker and data center. Trump finally admitted there was a bunker. It's to keep him , his administration, family and friends ( people he thinks who are anyway) when he starts WW3.

Stay in Power and Stay out of Prison!
