Christopher Donovan: Why 'J'Accuse' Stays in the Present Tense

Christopher Donovan: Joseph Sobran once reportedly joked that the New York Times should change its name to “The Holocaust Update”.  Not for nothing — barely a day passes when Hitler or the Holocaust isn’t mentioned in its pages.  The phenomenon includes even pre-World War II events, as described in this Sunday Book Review article on the Dreyfus affair.  (It’s a biggie to Jews because the intellectual founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was supposedly convinced of the need for a homeland for Jews while covering the Drefyus affair as a journalist.)

I know nothing about the veracity of the allegations against Dreyfus, but like any other accusation leveled at a Jew — Leo Frank, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and so on — Jews seize upon the accusation itself, presume the Jew was wrongly accused in a climate of fevered anti-Semitism, and regurgitate the episode endlessly as another example of the moral purity and snowy innocence of Jews in a dangerous world of bloodthirsty gentiles.

The truth is a bit more complicated, but the New York Times won’t be getting into that.

    Even if there was a miscarriage of justice, it must not have been the only case. Why was there so much of a rumpus over that particular case? Jewish influence on French society must have been pretty strong already at the time!

    The official version is that Dreyfus was falsely accused of betraying France. In fact, he had a choice between betraying France, and betraying Alsace and Germany. He was born in Alsace, a part of Germany occupied by France. I think the Alsatians had a right to remain German. Why did he choose France?

    It’s the Myth Of Innocence.
    That it’s their response to everything marks them in psychological terms as an extreme psychotic type.
    Even Bertolt Brecht said that anyone with just one way of looking at the world was bound to be wrong.
    Yeah, I know it’s funny that he said this, but that’s not my fault.
    Anyway, it would appear as if they have found a way to have just one way of looking at the world and yet, somehow, always be right.

    They justify and validate automatic conformity and blind obedience to their beliefs by converting them into absolute truths. The idea they are not innocent and we are not guilty (the two have to go together) is met with sincere denial, and sincere denial is delusion.

    No authority has ever allowed itself to be criticized.
    But what makes things today so strange is that Jews are doing it at a time when the human race has more precise information about, everything.
    Their insistance on pushing their brand of old-time authoritarianism on the world during the Information Age is fast revealing their Chutzpah for what it always was – insanity. But they can’t stop doing it – to everyone they come into contact with.
    For this reason I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they are the biggest supporters of NASA, since they are going to need a new planet, and means of transportation, once they run out of people to screw over and places to run to on Earth.

    One of the anti-Dreyfusards put it best: “evidence” didn’t matter [consider all the arguments over JFK, climate change, etc.] one way or another; the case was taken up by the Left only as a means to attack the State and the Army, so all patriots should respond in kind.
