Introducing Jewish South African Billionaire Nathan Kirs(c)h who gave millions to the South African University where Ivermectin Promoters Tess Lawrie and Paul Marik both worked
Unpack that headline!
Buckle up Sunday is long in session.
Listen, Normies, this is a Boutique Stack.
We free flow and don’t arrive at tidy conclusions sometimes. This how it be. If you are a good detective and unbound by quaint notions of human nature and “WHO ARE THE GOODIES?” or “MAKE THIS FIT MY TWO PARTY PARADIGM” or “I AM LOYAL TO THIS TRIBE!” then perhaps you can help with more information.
AI Bot has found good receipts from highly highly highly motivated reasoners tilting at an enemy. AI Bot takes receipts and says thank you very much.
Consider this your NOT NORMIE FRIENDLY warning.
I’d like to introduce you to a Rich Dude named Kirsch.
Although this appears to be an anomalous spelling.
It’s “Kirsh”.
Or…Kirsh.
Let’s go to Spookipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Kirsh
Nathan "Natie" Kirsh (born 6 January 1932) is a Swazi and South African billionaire businessman and philanthropist. He heads the Kirsh Group, which holds a majority stake in New York state cash and carry operation Jetro Holdings, owner of Restaurant Depot and Jetro Cash & Carry. The Group also holds equity and investments in Australia, Eswatini, the UK, the US, and Israel. He lives in Eswatini, and has residency in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Forbes estimated his wealth at $5.3 billion in April 2022. He was also listed on the UK’s Sunday Times Rich List 2018, and the wealthiest person in Eswatini by Forbes.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]
Nathan "Natie" Kirsh was born on 6 January 1932 to Jewish parents who immigrated to South Africa from Lithuania,[2][3][4] and he grew up in Potchefstroom.[5] He later matriculated from Potchefstroom Boys High, in 1949.[6] He encountered little antisemitism in Potchefstroom: “It was a very comfortable and good environment to grow up in.”[7] He also joined the Labor Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror.[7] He earned a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of the Witwatersrand, in 1952. He also holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Swaziland.[8]
Career
[edit]
In 1952, Kirsh began assisting his mother with the operation of his father's original malt factory in Potchefstroom, then, in 1958,[2] launched his own first venture,[9] founding a corn milling and malt business in Eswatini.[10]
After having returned to South Africa, in 1968; in 1970,[10] Kirsh acquired Moshal Gevisser, a South African wholesale food distributor with a pilot cash and carry program.[10][2] At the time, the South African apartheid government prevented white business-owners from operating in black townships, and Kirsh began using Moshal Gevisser[2] to supply goods to black shopkeepers.[10] As a cash and carry business,[2] Moshal Gevisser became a dominant food retailer in South Africa.[10]
In June 1976, he founded Jetro, a cash and carry store in Brooklyn, New York.[2] He acquired Restaurant Depot in 1994,[10] then opened its first New York retail outlet in 1995, and Jetro and Restaurant Depot began operating as sister businesses under Jetro Holdings.[2] In 2003, Warren Buffett agreed to buy a minority share of Jetro Holdings, however, he and Kirsh could not agree on terms.[11] As of August 2018, Kirsh owned 75 percent of Jetro Holdings, which had about 115 Jetro Cash & Carry and Restaurant Depot stores in the United States.[2] That year, the Independent reported that several of Kirsh's companies were registered in the British Virgin Islands and in Liberia, both of which are listed on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s tax haven "grey list".[3] Kirsh Holdings Group, Kirsh's primary holding group, continues to own half of Swazi Plaza Properties.[5]
In the late 1970s, he also acquired Magal Security Systems from Israel Aerospace Industries, listing the company on Nasdaq in 1993.[10] In 2009, Kirsh was a director and held a 24.2 percent stake in Magal Security,[12] which met controversy by providing fences in Israel.[13][14] In 2014, Kirsh sold his 40 percent stake in Magal to FIMI.[15]
Kirsh left South Africa in 1986,[5] after selling much of Kirsh Industries to Sanlam,[10][16] In 2006, his companies included Mira Mag and Ki Corporation. Through Kifin Limited, part of Ki Corporation, by 2008, he also held a stake in Minerva,[17] dropping a bid for majority ownership in 2010.[17][18]
By early 2018, Kirsh retained retail and property interests in Britain, the United States, Australia, and Eswatini.
Personal life
[edit]
Kirsh is married to Frances Herr, and they have three children, one son, Philip Kirsh, and two daughters.[19] They reside in Ezulwini, in Eswatini,[1][20] where he holds citizenship.[1][21] He keeps kosher but does not consider himself religious.[7] His brother, Issie, founded Radio 702 and Primedia.[22]
Philanthropy
[edit]
He established the Kirsh Foundation, an international charitable organization.[23] He has contributed significantly to Eswatini, primarily through the financing of small business startups and computer education in high schools. Between 2001-2016, his foundation funded 14, 000 startups, with a 70% success rate.[7] Its projects include a microfinance venture in collaboration with Swazi chiefs to provide "affordable loans and financial literacy training to Swazi women."[21] By 2015, around 20,000 people were employed by small-scale businesses started by the fund.[21] In 2021, Kirsh funded a mission for humanitarian NGO IsraAID to aid with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Swaziland[24]
In recent years the fund has also focused on financing business startups and computer education in high schools and yeshivas in Israel.[7] Through the Natan fund, 700 startups had been financed as of 2016, with an 85% success rate.[7] The Kirsh family also donated $10 million to the Jerusalem Arts Campus, a new downtown campus for the Nisan Nativ Acting Studio, the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School, and the School of Visual Theater and the Center for Middle Eastern Music.[25] His foundation has also funded the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership, an initiative of the British Council and the British Embassy in Israel, together with the Pears Foundation, investing in world-leading research jointly undertaken by scientists in Britain and Israel. He also supports the Jewish People Policy Institute, a think tank with the purpose of promoting and securing the Jewish people and Israel.[26] His foundation also spearheaded Shine A Light, an initiative to raise awareness about modern antisemitism through education, community partnerships, workplace engagement and advocacy in the United States.[27] It is endorsed by the Anti-Defamation League.[28]
In 2020, Kirsh donated $8.8 million to his alma mater, the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.[29]

That name sounds familiar.
Tess Lawrie, I hear was on staff at University with Paul Marik of FLCCC.
FLCCC and Tess Lawrie and Steve Kirsch were all big Ivermectin proponents for the Dangerous Rogue Koronavirus crisis.
Tess and Paul have a lot of studies togeher.

Hold on!
Don’t get this twisted, you crazy Dark Conspiracy Theorists Analysts.
(Yes, Garden Gnome did emerge here once upon a time like a bat to pangolin koronavirus [🤪] and admonish CIA AI Bot for Dark Conspiracy Theory.)
Anyhoo, hold on!
This Kirsch does not refer to DNC MINI-OLIGARCH DARPA STEVE KIRSCH.
This guy Nathan Kirs(c)h is a real deal full-fledged oligarch.
And not panhandling for “support”.

Murdering the world is hard! 😅
It’s tough to get everybody on the same page!
Steve Kirsch. Ivermectin.
Tess Lawrie. Ivermectin.
Pierre Kory. Ivermectin.
FLCCC. Frontline is War Language.
For the Kovid, don’t you know. We are at War.
Steve Kirsch: "...getting everybody to take Ivermectin and fluvoxamine for a month...then Covid would be wiped out."
The South Africa connection.

Ivermectin Promotional Person!
World Council for Health World Health Organization A Better Way Forwards Build Back Better Madame Lawrie has been on the Ivermectin beat for a long time now.
This goes on and on.
The other areas of focus for Madame Lawrie appear to be brain cancers and glioblastomas.
And…contraception and neonatal care.
Stunning coincidence that Paul Marik and Tess Lawrie ended up in your Brain Vector and part of aggressive Ivermectin teams, probably.
And a dude that looks like he could be the uncle of another dude donated to their shared uni.
And nephew-looking dude was all over the internet as the Tip O’Spear, and yes I used to call him that.
If we are going to save humanity from extinction, we had better be doing something about these 3 issues:
global warming
overpopulation
the accelerating decline of every single major ecosystem
All of these trends are getting worse. None have been reversed at a global scale. We need action on all three. But right now, none of the candidates have the courage to even talk about serious solutions. In fact, on some issues, they won't even talk about the problem!
Signed, Steve Kirsch ☝️
