I blogged recently on radical historian Howard Zinn and his lack of concern for historical truth. An article in Quadrant, an Australian journal, discusses Howard Zinn’s disastrous influence. It also discusses Zinn’s main disciple in Australia, Robert Manne — also Jewish. First, about Zinn’s most influential book:
Zinn’s radical (and radically unsound) tome, A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present, has gone through five editions and multiple printings since it was first published in 1980, selling almost two million copies, and is assigned in thousands of university and college courses in America, making it the best-selling work of history ever written by an American leftist. It also has a high profile in popular culture, being the basis of several documentaries, inspiring pop songs, serving as the basis for a highly successful graphic novel, being referenced in the Academy Award-winning film Good Will Hunting (1997), and even in an episode of The Simpsons, where Marge is shown reading the book at college. Its penetration into American popular consciousness is both unparalleled and insidious.
The Zinn cancer metastasized from America to Australia, spreading the culture of the left that has come to dominate the academic world in recent decades:
Zinn’s book had an immediate impact on the neo-Marxist, Foucaultian, and feminist academic clique that came to dominate the study, teaching, publishing, and grant-allocating activities of Australian history in the 1980s, giving rise to the four volume collectivist effort, A People’s History of Australia Since 1788. This was published in 1988 in order to promote the negative mythology of Australian history in time for the Bicentennial and to ensure that the nation had no illusions about the depths of its historical depravity.
Manne is a worthy acolyte to Zinn:
Manne [and] the many other Australian historians who follow his lead … make no attempt to champion the Australian people or recognize their efforts to build a nation. Instead, Australians emerge from their historical writings as unrepentant and non-reflective racists who support ignorant, oppressive, and racist policies, and deserve nothing but the unrelenting contempt of morally superior intellectuals like Manne and his colleagues — a contempt they are happy to provide.
Manne is a worthy disciple of Zinn for another reason. He has no scruples about falsifying history in order to advance the Jewish ethnic agenda of undermining a confident, homogeneous White Australia. It is well known that the Jewish community in Australia has been a strong supporter of non-White immigration and multiculturalism (summarized in CofC, where, e.g., I quote Miriam Faine, an editorial committee member of the Australian Jewish Democrat: “The strengthening of multicultural or diverse Australia is also our most effective insurance policy against anti-semitism. The day Australia has a Chinese Australian Governor General I would feel more confident of my freedom to live as a Jewish Australian.” [Sound familiar?] See also here.) Manne is also totally on board with multiculturalism. Here he is discussing his Jewish roots at a website dedicated to making Australia multicultural.
Keith Windshuttle has charged Manne with professional malfeasance in claiming that the Australian government during the 1930s supported a policy of “breeding out the colour” by encouraging White men to marry “half-caste” women in order to eventually make their descendants White. Because of Manne’s position as an elite academic, his word carried a great deal of weight with the government, resulting in an abject apology to appease the contemporary gods of multiculturalism. As Windshuttle notes,
In failing to mention these three critical responses, while pretending the government gave “full endorsement” to the very opposite approach, Manne falsified Australian political history on an issue that he, more than almost any other academic commentator in the country, had the opportunity, the interest and the ability to investigate thoroughly and report honestly. If Manne can get away with behaviour of this kind, it would mean Australian universities no longer demand any standard of truthfulness from their academic staff.
I rather doubt that anything will happen to Manne. Falsifying historical and scientific data is par for the course in all of the Jewish intellectual movements covered in The Culture of Critique. Boas, who shaped American anthropology, and the Frankfurt School are great examples. (This blog discusses Boas’s falsifying data in his notorious head shape study that was used by immigration advocates for decades to argue that the environment would shape everyone into good Americans.) Luminaries like Freud didn’t really falsify data, but he produced untestable theories that successfully masqueraded as science while being very useful in the assault on the traditional people and culture of the West.
The common denominator of all this intellectual work has been to undermine the confidence of Western societies and their willingness to remain racially and culturally homogeneous. The hypocrisy in all this is stunning. For example, Australian Jewish leader Rabbi Is Leibler, a staunch defender of multiculturalism as a model of Australia, was recently reported as saying that multiculturalism has no place in Israel. “[Israel] is a country which was set up and created as a Jewish country for the Jews.” In another context he stated “”There is a need to sit together and establish a way in which Australians can recapture that spirit of multiculturalism which I think we are all proud being part and parcel of, and which is really under threat.”
As usual, one needn’t bother to look for high principle to explain Jewish activism. The only common denominator is what is good for the Jews.

But is it ‘good for the Jews’ to have a non-white majority in formerly white countries if the non-white majorities are Muslim – they will be in Europe.
As for the US, the chances of a quasi Buchananite ( let alone a Nazi-Aryan) party actually coming to power are so tiny that the Jewish fear of it happening can not be the real motive for their activism, can it?
It’s going to happen many of us good men are young educated healthy and pissed off ..

No, it’s not good for them, but it’s bad for us, which is sometimes, evidently, an even more important goal.
I used to be a brainwashed gentile commie dupe who liked Zinn and Chompsky.The internet and 9/11 woke me up to the power of the jews in America.

Tends to happen, welcome aboard.
Oh dear, I do not wish to be indelicate, but if Blancos behaved as the Jews do would not others think of us as lacking in credibility? Whatever would we do?
I dearly love Jews and would never wish to be unkind for my greatest wish in life is for them to have everything that is in their best interests. After all they suffered so greatly in The Holocaust.
I wish only to say that as individual Blancos we are powerless and the fact that some very wonderful Jews have used their brilliance to maintain a healthy control over media, and I’m sure they never intended it this way, but they make it very difficult for Blancos to come together to survive.
We must assure them that we only wish to have a small space in the United States and be Blanco-Americans, hyphenated-Americans the same as everyone else. And now the poor Blanco-Australians are finding themselves in the same boat. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I’m almost certain that Blanco-Austrialians wish only to be hyphenated-Australians and never would they cause any trouble for anyone.
Perhaps if we brought this to the attention of the wonderful Jews they would kindly make changes so that, with their permission of course, we might have a word or two to say about what goes on in Western nations such as Australia. Although I do not wish to be perceived as being pushy.
Its really not very nice of Zinn to tell fibs about things. He obviously was very careless regarding his own credibility and he led the poor Mr Manne down the wrong path by patterning bad behaviors which is most unfortunate.
Perhaps if the Blanco-Australians showed that they are understanding and if Blanco-Americans put forth more effort toward having good relationships with the nice Jews we could reassure them that they are loved and have nothing to fear from us because we hate nazis and wish only the best for Jews. Have you asked yourself what you might do for a Jew today?
Then they could relax their efforts which quite often, if I may say so, have a negative effect upon non Jews, I mean Blancos of course, Blanco-Americans and Blanco-Australians.
As we know the Blanco-South Africans suffer as a results of the nice Black South Africans and as far as is known the Jews are not directly involved in the misfortunes of the Blanco-South Africans. It only seems that they are everywhere.
As a rule I would never watch vulgar movies containing sex and violence and lust. Most certainly I would never be seen watching movies about Blanco men mating with the nice aboriginal people of Australia. But one time I was carefully browsing a movie channel and saw a little bit of the Hugh Jackman movie “Australia” in which the subject matter dealt with the hero’s greatest love being an aboriginal women.
Blancos love it when the nice Jews often portray us in such a manner. We would never be rude or object to such things because we do not wish to appear like nazis because we would lose credibility.
I believe that in the latest article by Edmund Connely “Farewell My Dear WASP”, Edmund mentions quiet an interesting psychological phenomenon from which most Western Whites suffer (Slavs suffered from Jews so much that it does not phase them nor is Jewish propaganda taken in by Slavs as much as it is by Western Whites).
Edmund mentions the Stockholm Syndrome as a possibility of explaining the suicidal tendency of American and other West Europeans in their careless need to apologize for their existence and side with the enemies of their kind whom they see as friends and righteous icons of their culture.
Whites are unique in this feeling of self hate and loathing. VERY VERY few other ethnic groups displays this behavior on individual basis and it is non-existant among large non-White ethnic groups.
Here are the two especially interesting points about the Stockholm syndrome:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
1) The hostage taker threatens to kill the victim and gives the perception of having the capability to do so. The captive judges it safer to align with the perpetrator, endure the hardship of captivity, and comply with the captor than to resist and face murder.
So today Western Whites see their culture hostage takers (Jews) as victims and themselves as perpetrators. In politics, Hollywood or any other noteworthy public media, White gentiles judge it safer to align with their Jewish bosses and endure the hardships of being slandered, insulted and discriminated against, than to resist and face the murder of their race and nation.
2) The captive sees the perpetrator as showing some degree of kindness. Kindness serves as the cornerstone of Stockholm syndrome; the condition will not develop unless the captor exhibits it in some form toward the hostage. However, captives often misinterpret a lack of abuse as kindness and may develop feelings of appreciation for this perceived benevolence. If the captor is purely evil and abusive, the hostage will respond with hatred. But, if perpetrators show some kindness, victims will submerge the anger they feel in response to the terror and concentrate on the captors’ “good side” to protect themselves.
Western Whites today mistakenly see Jews as being kind towards other peoples (allegedly non-Whites) and themselves as perpetrators of the world’s only Holohoa…sorry….Holocaust©® (never mind, never mention the deaths of ~70 million Christian Whites in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries around Europe), slave owners (where less than 5% of the White population of the South ever owned slaves, and Jews and Arabs always being prominent slave traders in the past).
And thus develop feelings of sympathy towards Jews and people opposed to White culture. Our schools, colleges, jobs, affirmative action racist policies, actively reinforce these ideas in the victims.
Edmund certainly has a fine point!!
Re No Remorse’s comment: I have posted a blog on Connelly’s article. Please re-post this comment, which I very much like, on that blog. Thanks, Kevin M
“As usual, one needn’t bother to look for high principle to explain Jewish activism. The only common denominator is what is good for the Jew”
That sums it up brilliantly Prof. MacDonald. It really is that simple.
so when is zinn going to write a “people’s history” of Israel/Palestine? Will it get the same widespread distribution in universities and universal praise in the NYT and WaPo?
PS segway into the WASP guilt article… I believe that Matt Daemon ( i don’t know his exact ethnic background) was ‘blown away’ by the ‘people’s history’ and wanted to make a movie out of it.. why do otherwise smart people fall for this bs… because they have no other choice? (ie its the ‘correct’ thing to believe, and not believing it makes you Mel Gibson)
”Matt Damon […] was ‘blown away’ by the ‘People’s History’ and wanted to make a movie out of it. Why do otherwise smart people fall for this bs? … Because they have no other choice?” ( — the commenter signing as “me”)
It’s a very smart career move when your career is in Hollywood and career advancement depends on being in the good graces of the particular ethnicity that runs things there. James Caviezel for example made a bad career move, a very bad career move, when he agreed to play Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’s movie. As a result, Hollywood has seen to it he remains relatively an unknown. Had he agreed to play Jesus Christ in a blasphemous movie depicting the subject as a filthy, perverted human being, his career would have been catapulted into near-Earth orbit. Matt Damon praising Zinn is the same sort of career move as Angelina Jolie running around adopting non-white babies: both are striving to please the people who can and will make or break their careers or, if they’re already doing well, will make sure they continue doing well. If you’re a female Jewish star don’t copy Angelina Jolie, though: the same Hollywood bosses who love seeing a shiksa adopt Negro babies, and will make sure to reward her, would strongly frown on it in a Jewish woman star, and if one of these were so obtuse as to copy Angelina Jolie in hope of reinforcing her career prospects she’d quickly learn that in her case it was a career-killer: offers of good parts would immediately dry up. That’s why you’ll never see that behavior in a female Jewish Hollywood celebrity, only in shiksas: the Jewish honchos don’t want to see a Jewish woman running around the world adopting Negro babies and don’t want that example to be set for the Jewish moviegoing public as a thing Jewish women do, only for the Euro moviegoing public as a thing Euro women do.
What No_Remorse says is all true, but that makes it all the more puzzling. Why the Jewish push to get rid of the Western Whites, they’re the easiest to manipulate. When Jewish activism succeeds in getting Western Whites to become a minority in their own countries that is self defeating behaviour.

In 1997, Dr. Zinn slipped into popular culture when his writing made a cameo appearance in the film “Good Will Hunting.” The title character, played by Matt Damon, lauds “A People’s History” and urges Robin Williams’s character to read it. Damon, who co-wrote the script, was a neighbor of the Zinns growing up.
“Howard had a great mind and was one of the great voices in the American political life,” Ben Affleck, also a family friend growing up and Damon’s co-star in “Good Will Hunting,” said in a statement. “He taught me how valuable — how necessary — dissent was to democracy and to America itself. He taught that history was made by the everyman, not the elites. I was lucky enough to know him personally and I will carry with me what I learned from him — and try to impart it to my own children — in his memory.”
Damon was later involved in a television version of the book, “The People Speak,” which ran on the History Channel in 2009, and he narrated a 2004 biographical documentary, “Howard Zinn: You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train.”
Auschwitz wasn’t on another planet
On the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Stockholm-based Israeli journalist David Stavrou reflects on the importance of memory and self-examination, in Sweden and beyond, if we are to avoid recurrences of a catastrophe that was entirely man-made.

“My grandparents asked for tolerance, and by and large they were granted it.
My parents asked for acceptance, and by and large they were granted it.
We ask for nothing, you say. But the bill is due, and accounts must be settled. The world now asks the Jews for leadership. In science, commerce, the arts, the law, in every field the world looks to the Jews. How will the historians say we responded when the world asked us to lead?” (question posted at The Tablet,
a new Jewish website cum nail salon on the Net)
Jews don’t “lead”. They subvert. And their intense hatred of White America, a la Zinn, is primarily because this country is so INSUFFICIENTLY antisemitic that the Jews – witness the 50% intermarriage rate – are having extreme difficulty maintaining their tribal boundaries. Thus “Birthright Israel”, and similar racial entitlement operations. Only when America becomes vastly more “antisemitic” will the Jews be truly happy. So we must all strive to make the Jews happy…then and only then will they be less subversive.
Seadragonconqueror – the jewish claim of a 50% intermarriage rate is a story they tell for two reasons. One is to make the goyim believe the jews aren’t racist against them, that the tribe will thin out. The The other reason is to hopefully keep the “little jews” alarmed, make them think their numbers are shrinking when in fact they are growing. The 50% intermarriage claim is an outright. In fact, anyone who believes any numbers jews present to us is a fool. Anyone who believes that jews are only 2% of the US population, a number provided by jews, is an idiot.
Can you believe this story from Denver?
I just saw this story and had to share it with all of you.
This poor woman, just can’t believe that this actually happens in this day and age, what a shame.
I just thought it was important to share.
(CNN) — Three police cars pulled into Christina FourHorn’s front yard one afternoon while working from home just before she was supposed to pick up her daughter at school. The officers had a warrant for her arrest.
“What do you mean robbery?” FourHorn remembers asking the officers. Her only brushes with the law had been a few speeding tickets.
She was locked up in a Colorado jail. They took her clothes and other belongings and handed her an oversize black-and-white striped uniform. She protested for five days, telling jailers the arrest was a mistake. Finally, her husband borrowed enough money to bail her out.
“They wouldn’t tell me the details,” she said.
Later, it became clear that FourHorn was right, that Denver police had arrested the wrong woman. Police were searching for Christin Fourhorn, who lived in Oklahoma.
Their names were similar, and Christina FourHorn, a mother with no criminal record living in Sterling, Colorado, had been caught in the mix-up.
