Porn Shackles Society More than Patriot Act

ed note–but remember, it’s not judaism (the moral & social equivalent of depleted uranium) that is the threat to Western Christian Civilization, it’s DEM MOOZLUMS with their SHARIAH LAW (outlawing pornography and other vices) that are going to destroy everything.

It’s not as outlandish as it sounds: Watching X-rated films is Gilbert’s day job.

Gilbert, 37, works for an Israeli company that translates and subtitles foreign television shows and movies — including a sizable pornography portfolio — into Hebrew from English. The movies, once titled, are destined for stations offered by the major cable providers Yes and Hot. Domestically produced offerings, which are generally less popular, tend to end up on the website Pornhub.com, he said.

“The stuff we get for TV is pretty vanilla,” he said of the foreign X-rated offerings, primarily good-looking women having sex with hard-bodied men. “There’s no kinkiness, no fetishes, no bondage.”

Gilbert, who provides subtitles for about 30 X-rated films a year, calls it “healthy” porn, free from misogynistic or abusive behaviors or story lines — to the extent that pornographic films have story lines.

His job for the Tel Aviv company Trans Titles involves reviewing documents from the company’s translators and matching the dialogue’s Hebrew words to the scenes. Much of the translations follow perfunctory, predictable porn dialogue, he said: “Ooh,” “aah,” “Oh, God, Oh, God,” and “Want to go at it again?”

But smut does present some unique translating challenges. Colleagues often ask for Gilbert’s help in devising Hebrew versions for sexually explicit English idioms. When his creative juices aren’t flowing, Gilbert opts for transliterating the terms. 

David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, once quipped that Israel will have become a normal country when Hebrew-speaking prostitutes and criminals roam the streets. He might have added to that list Zionist pornography subtitlers.

The reason Gilbert and others translate and subtitle porn in the first place is the same as why any foreign film or TV show must be translated and subtitled: Israeli law mandates it.

It’s an honest day’s work, perhaps. But titillating, not so much.

“You just zone out for two, three hours and move on” to the next assignment, he said of the X-rated portion of his job.

Gilbert had aspired to a loftier career, having studied film at Temple University in his native Philadelphia. He’s proud of the 2005 film he directed, “The Coat Room,” set in his hometown, and of a documentary he made in 2011 about his first year of marriage. (Both films are in English.) He’s also proud of his wife, Maya, who works for a technology company, and their son.

He became involved in X-rated films in 2003 after landing a position with hotmovies.com, a pornographic-film distribution company in Philadelphia. The work involved watching the movies and penning favorable blurbs for the firm’s website.

“I honed my writing, writing reviews for porn films. If you write 30 a day, you have to be creative — and write quickly,” he said.

Gilbert’s parents moved the family to Israel in 1987, when he was 10. He left for America in 1996 to attend college, then returned to Israel in 2007, serving belatedly in the Israeli army, where he produced, directed and edited recruitment films.

After being discharged, Gilbert interviewed at an advertising agency in Tel Aviv. While in the building he noticed another tenant, Trans Titles, and stopped in. He has been employed there ever since. 

His pay isn’t so hot: just over minimum wage, Gilbert said. (Minimum wage in Israel is about $1,075 monthly.)

Not all subtitling companies want to take on porn, however, since it can alienate family-friendly clients. Israel’s Elrom, which estimates that it dubs 90 percent of all foreign films shown in the country, dropped pornography from its portfolio three years ago after landing Disney as a client.

Trans Titles executives say pornography makes up only a small portion of the company’s work, and that it allows subtitlers opt out when they feel uncomfortable. But Gilbert isn’t fazed by the X-rated content.

He said he’s long been able to disconnect emotionally from all the filmed sex.

“I’ve seen enough porn for two lifetimes: straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, midget,” he said.

But Gilbert sometimes wonders what the point is.

“I can understand why you’d have a storyline leading to the sex scene,” he said, “but why do you have to subtitle the sex scene? No guy … is going to read the dialogue.”

  1. Meanwhile in North America porn is pass; currently the transgender issue is being forced upon the public. Having watched the Jenner interview last night, (purely for social studies), I feel ~ wretched. This was an education in cultural Marxism at its finest and America will never ever be the same.

    (Expect more deviance and “50 Shades” type perversion from now on. In the finale, out of the blue, two minor characters suddenly end up in a real dungeon doing real s & m. Nothing to do with the plot, just to ingrain the normalcy of perversion to the world.) But I digress.

    Porn has already weakened males in America.

    I see Bruce Jenner as representative of America itself in a way. He embodied the epitome of manhood and male accomplishments, Mom’s apple pie and achievements. He raised families and was an all out good guy but now ~ 40 years later, he says God played a joke on him ~ gave him so many gifts then to screw up the mess and challenge him said “Let’s give him a woman’s soul and see how he manages.”

    The guy was not even born with confusing body parts, just a mindset of sorts.

    Bruce told his story with charm and he really is a lovely person, or comes across as such. THAT is the weapon! Identify with this lovely man and his trials and his common sense (he is full of it) because it is the humane thing to do. Come down on him and you are being not only politically incorrect but also insensitive to another human being! THAT is cultural Marxism if every I saw it.

    I won’t quote the interview; it is beautiful but dangerous. The media access this man has just forced this issue to the forefront and there is much more to come. Including a follow up special series on Burce after his surgeries…… and he swears it is not for tv promotion. I believe him. It is for transgender awareness, something I feel every two year old need be made cognizant of.

    I daresay the time is not far off when your kindie comes home from his or her first day in school and asks if they are really a boy or a girl.

    Yep, the liberals are having a field day with the erasure of the American male and this issue with Bruce Jenner is a major swipe of the brush ~ from world renowned athlete to transgender promotional whore.

  2. Re #2 paragraph, I omitted that this was the finale of Vikings. S & M was not part of that world…. life was grim enough!

  3. The churches have missed the chances to study homosexuality to teach mankind the truth about it. Well, actually first they already could not go back to what was plainly included in the earlier teachings until about 450 a.d. the repeated reincarnation of every being. The fact that all living beings are spir-itual beings in physical bodies made of electrons that have a fingerprint and that stay eternally with the same beings. So called death doesn’t delete the electrons and that electronic fingerprint.

    Reincarnations also happen as the opposite sex (see the left-handed) for we have to learn how the oth-er sex feels. So when we are born with the other sex, it doesn’t mean we have to live like it. We have to live how we are born, a man as a man to become the husband of a woman or the female the other way round. Everything in nature is created out of male and female. All the homosexual or transgender business is unnatural and total non-sense because it doesn’t recreate. Certain laws are absolute.

  4. #4, Cassius, they want our souls. This is another step towards their planned dissolution ….. of course it will, eventually, fail. Ludicrous concept. But they have done many evil things towards the destruction of such … including the lowering of our planetary resonance and human consciousness.

    Only when the vibratory level is of a certain low point will the world be ready for the arrival of their anti Christ or whatever name he might have. Through porn, wars, pain, slavery, etc, our planet is in chains that slow up the common consciousness that does not even know it exists any longer in most people. Just existing uses all their energy.

    Reincarnation had to be removed from early belief systems simply because it took away that fear factor necessary for enforcing more organized religion and manipulating the masses. But some of us were born remembering these things, these ancient ways. I know my belief and life long comprehension of this important matter made me a lousy Catholic and reject Islam no matter how much I appreciated it.

    You are not supposed to remember your past lives so that you can make the fullest of the current one; alas some of us don’t have that filter and old memories bleed through our consciousness at times ~ very complicated. I tell folks to not consciously explore old lives because we should be here now ~ and those memories are usually vicious. We don’t remember the easy or rewarding lives, we remember the trials and Kodak moments of the soul that shape our very essence throughout our earthly existences.

    We also tend to reincarnate with familiar souls whether we recognize them or not. There are national souls or identities. This is another reason all of this enforced immigration is so very damaging, the fracturing of national identities…..

    Nature always reestablishes her balance. It might not come in our time, but she has done it time and again. Why else are there so many unanswered mysteries on this planet about civilizations long ago?

  5. PURE JEWISH “PORN”!

    GOYOPHOBIA

    “The ‘goyim’ םיוג (cattles/gentile) are not humans. They are beasts.” (Baba Mezia 114b)

    “All children of the ‘goyim’ םיוג (gentiles) are animals.” (Yebamoth 98a)

    GOYOPHOBIA is the sign of profound mental and social failure — and a harbinger of more failures and errors to come:

    THE HATRED OF GOYIM/GENTILES BY JEWS

    [The Reason Gentiles Should Be Judeophobia- Fear of Jews]

    GENTILES IN HALACHA

    Foreword — Daat Emet

    For a long time we have been considering the necessity of informing our readers about Halacha’s real attitude towards non-Jews. Many untrue things are publicized on this issue and the facts should be made clear. But recently, we were presented with a diligently written article on the subject, authored by a scholar from the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva — so our job was done by others (though we have already discussed some aspects of this issue in the weekly portions of Balak and Matot). Since there is almost no disagreement between us and the author of the article on this issue, we have chosen to bring the article “Jews Are Called ‘Men'” by R’ David Bar-Chayim (in Hebrew) so that the reader will be able to study and understand the attitude of the Halacha towards non-Jews.

    In this article R’ Bar-Chayim discusses the attitude towards “Gentiles” in the Torah and in the Halacha and comes to an unambiguous conclusion:

    “The Torah of Israel makes a clear distinction between a Jew, who is defined as ‘man,’ and a Gentile.”

    That is to say, any notion of equality between human beings is irrelevant to the Halacha. R’ Bar-Chayim’s work is comprehensive, written with intellectual honesty, and deals with almost all the aspects of Halachic treatment of non-Jews. It also refutes the statements of those rabbis who speak out of wishful thinking and, influenced by concepts of modern society, claim that Judaism does not discriminate against people on religious grounds. R’ Bar-Chayim shows that all these people base their constructs NOT on the Torah but solely on the inclinations of their own hearts. He also shows that there are even rabbis who intentionally distort the Halachic attitude to Gentiles, misleading both themselves and the general public.

    For the English readers’ convenience we will briefly mention the topics dealt with in R’ Bar-Chayim’s article:

    Laws in regard to murder, which clearly state that there is Halachic difference between murder of a Jew and of a Gentile (the latter is considered a far less severe crime).

    A ban on desecrating the Sabbath to save the life of a Gentile.

    A Jew’s exemption from liability if his property (e. g. ox) causes damage to a Gentile’s property. But if a Gentile’s property causes damage to a Jew’s property, the Gentile is liable.

    The question of whether robbery of a Gentile is forbidden by the Torah’s law or only by a Rabbinic decree.

    A ban on returning a lost item to a Gentile if the reason for returning it is one’s sympathy towards the Gentile and compassion for him.

    The sum which a Gentile overpays in a business transaction due to his own error is forfeit; whether a Jew is permitted to intentionally deceive a Gentile is also discussed.

    One who kidnaps a Jew is liable to death, but one who kidnaps a Gentile is exempt.

    A Jew who hurts or injures a Gentile is not liable for compensation of damage, but a Gentile who hurts a Jew is liable to death.

    One who overcharges a Gentile ought not return him the sum that the Gentile overpaid.

    A Gentile — or even a convert to Judaism — may not be appointed king or public official of any sort (e. g. a cabinet minister).

    One who defames a female proselyte (claiming that she was not virgin at the time of her marriage) is liable to neither lashes nor fine.

    The prohibition to hate applies only to Jews; one may hate a Gentile.
    One may take revenge against or bear a grudge towards Gentiles; likewise, the commandment “love your neighbour” applies only to Jews, not to Gentiles.
    One who sees Gentile graveyards should curse: “Your mother shall be greatly ashamed…”

    Gentiles are likened to animals.

    If an ox damaged a Gentile maidservant, it should be considered as though the ox damaged a she-ass.

    The dead body of a Gentile does not bear ritual impurity, nor does a Gentile who touches the dead body of a Jew become impure — he is considered like an animal who touched a dead body.

    One is forbidden to pour anointing oil on a Jew, but there is no ban on pouring that oil on a Gentile because Gentiles are likened to animals.

    An animal slaughtered by a Gentile is forbidden, even if the ritual slaughter performed was technically correct, because Gentiles are deemed like animals. (Daat Emet does not agree that this is the Halachic reason for invalidating a Gentile’s ritual slaughter — but this is not the place to delve into the subject).

    Their members are like those of asses” — Gentiles are likened to animals.

    Between the Jews and the Gentiles — In the Aggadah, the Kabbalah, and in Jewish Thought

    R’ Bar-Chayim’s arguments and conclusions are clear, Halachically accurate, and supported by almost all the existent major Halachic works. It would be superfluous to say that R’ Bar-Chayim fully embraces this racist Halachic outlook as the word of the Living G-d, as he himself pointed out in the “Conclusion” of his article:

    “It is clear to every Jew who accepts the Torah as G-d’s word from Sinai, obligatory and valid for all generations, that it is impossible to introduce ‘compromises’ or ‘renovations’ into it.”

    On the other hand, we want to make it clear that Daat Emet — as well as any reasonable people who do not embrace Halachic laws as the word of the Living G-d — are repulsed by such evil, racist discrimination.

    In the Hebrew text we have abridged the second part of R’ Bar-Chayim’s article,

    “Between Jews and Gentiles — In the Aggadah, the Kabbalah, and in Jewish Thought,” because, in our view, the Halacha is the law which obligates every religious Jew while concepts of the Aggadah, the Kabbalah, and Jewish thought are not binding on anyone, as our rabbis have already written:

    “And so the Aggadic constructs of the disciples of disciples, such as Rav Tanchuma and Rabbi Oshaya and their like — most are incorrect, and therefore we do not rely on the words of Aggadah” (Sefer HaEshkol, Laws of a Torah Scroll, p. 60a); we have expanded on this issue in the portion of Vayeshev.
