Obscuring the Jewish Issue in Media #3 — PragerU
In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we examined the ways in which Jewish media companies censor and suppress online views of the covid phenomenon and vaccine issue as presented by natural health doctor Joseph Mercola and Children’s Health Defense, and the way in which online journal Global Research managed to hide the fact that seven of the eight banking dynasty families that founded the Federal Reserve were not only Jewish, but also almost thoroughly intermarried into one all-powerful Jewish banking clan
PragerU on Slavery
Now we will look at a video documentary released by PragerU, featuring the Black conservative Republican Party spokeswoman Candace Owens. I was interested to see this bit of what appears to be reverse propaganda, since it was titled “A Short History of Slavery.” This was first released in August 2021 when we had much worse to contend with, as the covid vaccine roll-out accelerated across the nation, to some extent under compulsion. Yet we always have the issue of racism to contend with in our post-Civil Rights era, and Candace was going to set us all straight. Her video currently has 3.3 million views.
Slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a White phenomenon. The real story of slavery is long and complex. Candace Owens explains.
I found the knowledge (as far as it went) conveyed an excellent counter-point to the “woke” liberal narratives on the complex story of slavery. Such simplistic story-telling as 1619 as the beginning of slavery in America, and Columbus the first White man to enslave Caribbean islanders are thoroughly debunked by Owens, who explains that slavery is many thousands of years older than that—going back to the foundations of civilization 6000 years ago—and that Caribbean islanders were busy enslaving each other long before Columbus arrived. (In a strange development, Owens herself lists her “ethnicity” as Caribbean, as we will see.) Owens does not only extend slavery to all other races beyond Whites, but even praises White people as the only ones who ever officially ended slavery—for moral reasons (here, Chap. 7), and even notes that Whites have been victims of slavers, such as Muslim Arabs.
Jews Were the Slavers
The reason this otherwise honest depiction of slavery is a form of limited hangout (revealing part of the truth in order to forestall a search for further truths) is that it obscures the Jewish Issue. The best honest history of the Jewish role in the Transatlantic slave trade comes from the first volume of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews (using the Yandex search engine, I got a hit for Archive.org, but it said no longer available due to violation of terms of use) by the Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam (Black Muslims in America). In a synchronicity, a subscriber to my Substack site Taboo Truth recently sent me an over four hour video documentary titled You Are Amalek — The Hidden War Against The European Bloodlines. It contains a sermon by Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, referring to the Secret Relationship book he holds in his hand, and then a display of the many advertisements for the sale of Blacks by Jews presented in the book.
Columbus a Jew?
Today we see a surprising (or not) number of mainstream official sources questioning whether Columbus was a Jew. Many of them are Jewish sources, such as The Times of Israel, My Jewish Learning, and Jewish Telegraphic Agency. To the extent that CNN and HuffPo are also Jewish—a large extent—the view that Columbus was Jewish is now official doctrine (but not on Wikipedia, which details other theories). In scanning all these sources, it appears Jews are claiming Columbus for their own in the same way they claim great scientists such as Einstein and Oppenheimer to boost Jewish pride and trick the Goyim into thinking Jews are responsible for great advances in Western culture. Owens does something similar in the documentary “A Short History of Slavery,” without identifying Columbus as Jewish. Essentially she exonerates him as a slaver by indicating that the Caribbean islander tribes were already enslaving each other before Columbus arrived. We can speculate that PragerU was not ready to out Columbus as a Jew as yet, still focused on White-washing him and all other Whites of the exclusive sin of slavery.
The PragerU Story
What of PragerU itself? It defines itself in this way:
We promote American values through the creative use of educational videos that reach millions of people online. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Prager University Foundation (“PragerU”) offers a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education. Whether you’re searching for a deeper understanding, a new perspective, or a way to get involved, PragerU helps people of all ages think and live better.
To learn “The PragerU Story” and “How It All Started” see the documentary “celebrating PragerU’s first 10 years in the mind-changing business. Don’t miss it!” (emphasis added). I would not dream of missing this informative presentation on the PragerU story, so I watched all sixteen minutes of it. It begins with a brief profile of the narrator, Amala Ekpunobi, a young at least part-Black woman with long Black braids. Yes, then we learn that her father was a “Nigerian immigrant” and her mother a White American. Amala’s mother was in tears of joy when Obama was elected, which taught Amala that “skin color was important.”
After a mercifully brief rap dance by Amala, we come to the actual origins of PragerU in the persons of Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin. After displaying the development of PragerU as a successful online educational platform, we come back to another brief rap dance by Amala, then Estrin says “When people hear the truth, they start to wonder about everything they’ve been told.” It claims to have all the right enemies, including “big tech” which censors PragerU online. Dennis Prager equates a United States under censorship to the Soviet Union, and we see a headline flash: “Starving Ukraine,” (11:36) obviously referring to the Holodomor. The video even quotes Stalin saying “Utter destruction to the German invaders!” (11:21) a reference to Operation Barbarossa that began the war in the East.
Then Marissa Streit, the pretty blondish apparently White woman, CEO of PragerU, says “I think the story of Amala Ekpunobi is the story of many Americans.” Depicting the mulatto Ekpunobi as representative of “many Americans” is all part of PragerU’s “mind-changing business.” Since those most engaged in the “mind-changing business” are invariably Jews, I went searching to confirm that at least Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin are Jews. Radio Islam shows a long list under “Who Controls Millenial/Modern News?” and their racial heritage. Under PragerU, all three, including Streit, are listed as Jewish!
Marissa Streit, Prager CEO and Mossad Agent
I doubted that Streit is Jewish and so searched further. Her biography page at PragerU states she “was born in Los Angeles and moved to Israel at a young age, where she completed her primary education and served in military intelligence unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces.” Unit 8200 is notorious as the Mossad’s cyber-intelligence department in charge of digital spying, censorship, private tech start-up affiliates, information hacking and other digital warfare, including especially in the U.S. The Israeli Unit 8200 agent Marissa Streit is CEO of PragerU.
Allen Estrin is Jewish
Estrin is harder to confirm. The only clue on his PragerU biography is that he “directed the highly-praised documentary, ‘Israel in a Time of Terror,’ 2002.” The Wikipedia entry on Estrin provides some more clues.
In 2002, Estrin was denied life insurance because he traveled to Israel, one of the countries subject to U.S. State Department travel advisories. Because of this, he sued 14 insurance companies. This led to some insurers changing such policies, and to a bill in California to outlaw such travel restrictions on policies.
A Jew is most likely to respond to a denial of life insurance with this kind of lawfare, especially if it involved beloved Israel.
Also, Jewish Journal published a brief review of Estrin’s and co-author Rabbi Joseph Telushkin’s 2004 book Heaven’s Witness, a murder mystery that incorporates a theme of the afterlife. What business two Jews have writing a novel referring to heaven is the real mystery, until we read in the Jewish Journal review: “The book… is peppered with talmudic and biblical axioms…” As for Estrin’s co-author, “Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has done his part to keep the Jewish people, well, literate, by publishing such erudite tomes as ‘Biblical Literacy’ (William Morrow, 1997) and ‘Jewish Literacy’ (William Morrow, 1991).” Is there any point in checking if William Morrow is dominated by Jews? We should be willing to confirm Estrin as Jewish given these references.
Dennis Prager So Jewish
Dennis Prager is openly Jewish. He “was raised in an orthodox Jewish home” in Brooklyn, attended a Yeshiva there, where he even befriended Estrin’s future co-author and future Rabbi Telushkin. A short Google entry on Prager (p. 402–3) labels him a “Jewish talk show host and author,” “who has often interpreted Judaism for a wider audience.”
His books The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism (1976) and Why the Jews? The Reason for Antisemitism (1983) surely do not deal with issues like whether Jews committed ritual murder of children, or whether Jewish behavior toward Gentiles generates antisemitism. Nine Questions became a best-seller and “popular in all the major American Jewish movements.” Question #3 is “If Judaism is supposed to make people better, how do you account for unethical religious Jews?”. I haven’t read the answer, but I would bet some serious money it is not that Jews have a racial proclivity and cultural training toward unethical behavior. Question #8, “Why shouldn’t I intermarry?” reveals Jewish racial separatism, supremacism and bigotry, while powerful Jews today promote White race mixing.
Why the Jews? attributes antisemitism to Gentile dislike for the quirky Jewish religion.
The authors find the root of anti-Semitism not in racism, xenophobia, the need for scapegoats, economic depressions, or any other universalizing factor. The occasion for the hatred of Jews they find in Judaism itself.
Prager and co-author Rabbi Telushkin state: “the Jew carries the burden of God in history and for this has never been forgiven.” Definitely a positive spin.
The following account of Prager’s Jewishness is summarized from the Google entry on Prager (p. 402–3): In the same year as his first book publication, Prager became Director of the Brandeis Institute, and brought in Telushkin as education director. “During his tenure [Prager] succeeded in influencing many young Jews.” For ten years Prager hosted a TV talk show on KABC discussing “religion,” and wrote a syndicated column for newspapers nation-wide. By 1986 he divorced his wife, nee Goldstein, and suffered a mental breakdown. Soon after Jewish-controlled President Reagan appointed Prager as U.S. delegate to the Vienna Review Conference on the Helsinki Accords. His weekly show on religion expanded to five hours every Sunday night. Prager’s Judaism then took form in 1992 in his joining the Steven S. Wise Reform Synagogue, and in his continuing education classes taught before hundreds of students at University of Jerusalem. In 1994 he hosted a nation-wide TV talk show. By 2000 Prager switched his show to KRLA, a “conservative Christian group,” but he “often serves as scholar in residence at synagogues throughout the United States.” The entry concludes: “he is considered one of the leading socially conservative Jewish political spokesmen.”
Prager remains thoroughly Jewish since his founding and operation of PragerU, a main component of Jewish control of current right-wing conservatism in the U.S.
Candace Owens, Acting for Jews
In late July 2021, researcher and author Eric Striker published “Rising Republican Party Influencers Got Their Start At Talent Agency Run By Israeli Pornographer” on the National Justice platform. It is essential reading to begin an understanding of Jewish control of conservative politics in the U.S. Striker identifies eight “household names in the world of Republican Party politics as being actors or models” groomed by the named Israeli pornographer.
Number 1 is Candace Owens, “who began producing professional conservative content months after launching her Explore Talent profile in 2017.” Explore Talent is the talent agency of Israeli-born Amiram Moshe Shafrir, who amassed wealth running a phone sex service and a number of online pornography sites. Later Shafrir’s porn customers were shifted into his new online dating sites to pad their numbers, including the Jewish-only site J-Date. Other Jews brought suit against Shafrir and his now ex-wife Sarit, including accusations of wiretapping, blackmail of military personnel, bribing police, credit card fraud and even trafficking of drugs to minors.
This is the man—Shafrir—who went on to found Explore Talent, where Candace Owens was “discovered” as a conservative spokesperson and wound up narrating the PragerU video on “A Short History of Slavery.” According to a Backstage investigation of Explore Talent:
ExploreTalent.com over has 7 million members and is the Internet’s largest resource for talents, with over 40,000 Roles & castings currently active. That is 10–20 times more than any other competing site.
Candace Owen’s “Acting/Modeling Profile” from Explore Talent is preserved on Archive.org. This is where she lists her ethnicity as “Caribbean.” I wonder if she is descended from Quadroons or Octaroons, mixed-race slaves, many likely part-Irish, descending from Irish slaves in the Caribbean. She has the look. Irish were particularly enslaved on Barbados working the sugar plantations. Owens lists modeling, dance, film acting, music videos and other performing arts for which she is qualified to be hired. Hosting PragerU’s video on slavery is well within her job description.
Lead With the Money
The Daily Dot features an essay titled “PragerU is conservatism for the youth—brought to you by old billionaires,” updated in 2021. It’s subtitle states: “They’re old, they’re rich, and they want you to think just like them.” This source for knowledge on the funding of PragerU commences: “In one short decade, PragerU has become an indoctrination powerhouse.” It goes on to denounce PragerU from every Progressive “woke” perspective, suggesting it is misogynist, racist, Christian crazy, classist, stupid and above all greedy.
Before we are advised of the funding sources, we are offered a short list of “presenters” who are “fresh-faced millennials,” including non-Jews, presumably because PraegerU is basically a mission unto the gentiles. These are Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Candace Owens, Will Witt, and Charlie Kirk. Shapiro is of course Jewish, and we know the Jewish influence over Owens. Charlie Kirk’s Wikipedia entry states he is “Evangelical Christian,” which means Christian Zionist. The accomplished commentator on Zionism Brandon Martinez claims “Charlie Kirk Basically Admits That He’s a Jew,” and while Kirk comes close, he essentially identifies himself as a zealous Zionist and philo-Semite. Will Witt is Prager U’s “Man on the Street,” and conducts spontaneous interviews with people, asking them questions probing their knowledge of relevant issues. See his “Who Was Anne Frank?” video, interviewing mostly young Blacks on Hollywood Boulevard about “one of the most important historical figures of all time.” One young Black man answered, “An actor, right?” Witt says “No,” but in fact the interviewee was correct. See the review of the recent book on the subject, “Review of Unmasking Anne Frank, Her Famous Diary Exposed as a Literary Fraud,” something Witt and Prager U will never read but we all should.
Finally we come to the “old billionaires” who fund PragerU.
The poorest, Michael Leven, has an estimated net worth of $11 million; Lee Roy Mitchell, the next poorest, is worth a quarter-billion dollars. Three—the late Sheldon Adelson and brothers Dan and Farris Wilks—were/are billionaires.
Leven is featured on Amazing Jews as co-founding a Jewish donation program inspired by “his love of the Jewish people and Israel,” in the report “Michael Leven: Visionary Philanthropist Who Co-Founded the Jewish Future Pledge.”
Amazingly, Lee Roy Mitchell was a kingpin in the ownership of movie theaters, founder and CEO for twenty years of Cinemark, but is not Jewish, in an industry overwhelmingly dominated by Jews.
Dan and Farris Wilks’s parents founded their own church in 1947. “The church is not Christian, believing that Yahweh is the only god and that Jesus (whom they call Yahushua) is a separate entity.” By 1982 the church became
…the Assembly of Yahweh (7th day). Currently the Assembly of Yahweh (7th day) is a conservative Jews for Jesus-type congregation. It teaches that “the true religion is Jewish (not a Gentile religion)” and its members celebrate the Old Testament holidays rather than those related to the New Testament.
Farris Wilks “is the current pastor and bishop of the Assembly of Yahweh (7th day) near Cisco” Texas. He and his brother Dan are the epitome of Christian Zionists who worship Jews as Yahweh’s Chosen People and revere Israel above all nations. Their funding essentially identifies PragerU as the most prominent outlet for Christian Zionism allied with Jewish power. The Wilks brothers also funded Jewish conservative presenter Ben Shapiro at the Daily Wire.
Sheldon Adelson was a known Jewish Israel-Firster Zionist and multi-billionaire casino owner who may have connections to organized crime through defrauding his business partners, prostitution at his casinos, and bribery of Chinese officials to establish a casino in Macau. Adelson donated so much money to so many Republican candidates and campaigns, including both Trump campaigns, that he is called “Kingmaker.” He also funded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Milekowsky) campaigns, as “Kingmaker” in Israel. Much more could be explored about Adelson as a devout Zionist and billionaire Jewish media influencer, and in this case as a major funder of PragerU. In 2013 Adelson famously said:
“What I would say is, ‘Listen. You see that desert out there, I want to show you something.’ …You pick up your cellphone and you call somewhere in Nebraska and you say, ‘OK let it go.’ And so there’s an atomic weapon, goes over ballistic missiles, the middle of the desert, that doesn’t hurt a soul. Maybe a couple of rattlesnakes, and scorpions, or whatever. And then you say, ‘See? The next one is in the middle of Tehran.’ So, we mean business.”
Adelson’s death in early 2021 came long after his financial support and content influence upon PragerU.
Of the five major donors and funders to PragerU, two are Jewish, and two are devout Christian Zionists. Rather than follow the money, we must lead with the money to understand PragerU’s objectives in the “mind-changing business.” They are pro-Zionist and pro-Jewish through influence on right-wing conservative U.S. politics. They also help incite the intense political divide as part of the divide/conflict/conquer strategy which a tiny Jewish minority inflicts on the much larger U.S. population to keep it distracted fighting each other rather than identifying its common enemy, the Jewish Power Elite (on both sides of the engineered mainstream political divide).
Conclusion: PragerU is Obscuring the Jewish Issue Bigtime
PragerU appears to be doing good work in distributing educational material counteracting the Left’s “woke” narratives and promoting American conservative patriotism, as exemplified in its “A Short History of Slavery” with young Black conservative spokesperson Candace Owens. A closer examination reveals that the two founders of PragerU, Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin are devout Israel-Firsters and fully self-identified practicing Jews. The CEO they chose to lead PragerU, Marissa Streit, is not only another Israel-Firster and devout Jew, but was trained by the Israeli Mossad’s Unit 8200, known for conducting the most malevolent surveillance, psychological operations, cyber spying and mind control propaganda in the U.S. This alone makes PragerU a key nexus in this culture war and psy-op Jews have long been inflicting on the U.S. population, both left and right.
In essence, PragerU is controlled opposition to the Jewish-controlled left-wing educational media promoting “wokeism” and Progressive views. Neither will notice Jewish power, and both will protect Jewish power from scrutiny. PragerU will participate in the incitement and provocation of right vs. left, driving the political divide deeper in the same way Communist propaganda drove a class divide between bourgeoisie and proletariat, and Neo-Communists drove and still drive a race divide in the U.S.
PragerU uses public actress and performer “Caribbean” Candace Owens as its diversity face for “the story of many Americans,” along with its “Story of PragerU” video, featuring mullato Amala Ekpunobi. This is conservatism that is safe for the Jews. Owens—and many others of the new crop conservative spokespeople—was discovered and groomed by a talent agency owned and operated by a corrupt Jewish Israeli pornographer involved in much greater organized crime, including Blackmailing and bribing police and military personnel and accused of selling drugs to minors.
Verdict: PragerU is convicted of obscuring the Jewish Issue because it is entirely Jewish in its founding and management, largely Jewish and Christian Zionist in its funding, operates from an establishment-friendly right-wing conservative perspective to promote Jewish interests and obliterate any noticing of the Jewish role as the backbone of the woke left in America. Like the Israel Lobby which actively courts support from both Democrats and Republicans, their goal is to ensure that both sides of political debate are safe for Jews.
Most valuable research and presentation. Candace Owens is an attractive person, and thus an effective spokesman for the “Kosher right”.
Agreed, but can we also agree that ‘she’ is a ‘spokeswoman’ ?
Yes. She’s an absolute QT
Concerning Columbus, there is an interesting excerpt from Major Douglas’s ‘Programme for the Third World War’:
“Apart from the fact that Columbus never saw America, the mainland of which was “discovered” by John Cabot, who sailed from Bristol in 1497, there is strong reason to believe that various Scandinavian peoples had fairly constant intercourse with the North American Continent hundreds, if not thousands, of years earlier. Their traditional name for it was Markland.
There are, however, certain features in regard to the rediscovery of America which are worth attention. Christopher Columbus was a Jew, and John Cabot, although his ship and crew were English, was a Venetian. But the extraordinary and significant fact is that there was in Bristol at that time a secret Jewish community “who handed on their tradition by word of mouth” (Lord Melchett: Thy Neighbour, p. 90). It is obvious that both Columbus and Cabot had information of a fairly definite character to guide them. Both of them set a compass course which was approximately correct. And both of them had connections with banking—Columbus with Jewish banking, and Cabot with the banking-City-State of Venice, and almost certainly with this secret Bristol Jewry. The essence of banking has always been what in military circles is called “intelligence”— information in its widest sense, spying being an important component, and it seems highly probable that the existence of the American continent was known in banking circles when it was quite unknown outside them.”
Febrile stuff, perhaps, but a work from 1943, though perhaps inspired by de Madariaga, can at least be excused being part of any modern-day agitprop.
@ Alexander
So, America founded by Jews, then governed by Masons…. Ya gotta believe it!
How particularly nice then if the United Kingdom dumped its hereditary head of state for an elected executive president of the calibre of Bush, Obama and Biden!
Half the people who believe that Columbus was a Jew also believe that he was a Spaniard. The other half just prefer fantasy to fact.
Coumbus wasn’t a Spaniard, and he wasn’t a Jew. Deal with it.
Most major Jewish organizations and spokespeople who opine on Columbus now claim him for their own. This does not make it true of course, but it is worth considering.
The same Jews who, as you say, claim Columbus for their own also claim a societal privilege founded upon what they term a uniquely terrible experience of suffering: what they call the capital-H holocaust. No offense meant to you, Karl, but I shan’t give an inch to the Jews on either lie, and I don’t think anyone should.
I had my suspicious concerning Prager U. This essay more than confirmed them. However, I still appreciate the efforts of many Jews to defend the US and Americans from the corrosive moral culture of the Democrat Party and its commie/fascist friends.
Praeger once published several scholarly critiques of communism, but presumably they were all part of The Great Talmudic-Khazarian-Mafia Plot.
Praeger the book publisher, as opposed to Prager U.?
@KMac
Yes, the publishers.
Didn’t Miles Mathis accuse you of being a “controlled opponent” because of your publisher? Yet the racketeer Maxwell published Cattell’s masterwork. The problem now in the UK is that pleasant little publishing groups like Cape and Faber have been swallowed up like many others, while Routledge and the UPs now churn out woke rubbish in vast quantities. Private equity has been public sewage.
I don’t recall that. The editor and the people I dealt with were Jewish.
The editor and publishers of CoC were Jews? If true, that’s astonishing. I never considered it.
The Series editor, Itzkoff, was fired and the series shut down when it became a scandal. The editor I communicated with was also Jewish. It took 4 years after the ms was submitted to get it published. In the meantime, they sent it out to ridiculously biased reviewers which they sensibly ignored.
We all know that the fairy tales of childhood wanted to give us wisdom for life. As for the political positioning of Jewry, stories like Prager’s remind me of the fairy tale of the hare and the hedgehog: the hare (white goy) claims to be able to run much faster than the hedgehog (Ashkenazim) and they bet on the price of truth. On command, the hare runs with all his might along the furrow in the field, only to hear on arrival the hedgehog say “Am already there”. The race is repeated until the hare collapses exhausted and sees the hedgehog meet his spouse coming from the end of the field furrow and both walk away satisfied. Now, was the hare or the hedgehog(s) really faster – what is truth? Is truth power or only a phantom? The conclusion is that the claim to sole world domination of Jewry is the same in all its sects and parties, since it originates from the Talmud. No matter on which political side they operate, all their actions serve the same goal, in different ways.
The British Prime Minister in 1880 Disraeli correctly stated: “The racial question is the key to world history. No one may treat the racial principle, the racial question indifferently. World history is so confused only because it was written by people who did not know the racial question and also did not know the aspects belonging to it. Language and religion do not form a race – there is only one thing that forms a race: The blood”. A quote from Lenin makes the political handling of Jewish power very clear. “The best opposition is that which we ourselves invent”. Therefore, I call upon the White European cultural peoples to become aware of their race and to realize that their demise is the goal of all Jewish efforts, no matter what distractions they stage.
Great thoughts. I agree and like everything you write. Glad you showed up to enrich this discussion forum.
Valued Carolyn, thank you for the warm welcome. I am happy, especially after reading your website, to have found this place for sharing ideas. I got my impuls for this platform from Dr. Sunic, whom I have met personally. May I also exchange ideas with you in German? My mother tongue allows me to express myself much more precisely. With warm light greetings – Your Hans
“May I also exchange ideas with you in German?”
My dear Hans, no. I won’t make excuses (I have plenty I can come up with), but will only offer this honest truth: As is fairly universal, I can depend on the superior intelligence and education system of German-speakers and let them do the work rather than I. This works out alright for Germans bc it keeps them on a superior level to so many, but it also keeps them as a target of jealousy by others.
Your English seems better than most native English speakers, but I do understand that not all German words are satisfactorily translatable. You can use specific German words and I can look them up – I like doing that; I AM good at building a vocabulary. But verbs & prepositions I find very frustrating – too much so for someone who so enjoys my fluency in English. IOW, I don’t persevere.
I don’t even mind if people write to me in German, but I have to put it through a translator. Still, I see the words and how they’re used, which is interesting to me. I am fascinated with words and their meanings.
@ Herr Weber
What are criteria to distinguish “controlled” opposition (however effective but limited) from “real” opposition (however ineffective)? To which category do Disraeli’s “race” statements belong?
When the corrupt political power has a party founded by pseudo-critics, which publicly pretends to be the opposition, then bona fide, righteous critics of the system join them and are single-mindedly led into unsuccessfulness (comp Alt Right in the US). Every few years, a new so-called “right-wing” party or “resistance group” is founded in Germany, lead by dubious leaders, with the result that the personal data of the registered new party members end up with the state repression apparatus, which ensures always having an overview of the actual opposition potential. This data is then easily being used to create a surveillance network to discourage opposition members and silence them once they have experienced the second or third house search and confiscation of their electronic work equipment. True opposition is thus forced underground and forms only conspiratorially.
The Disraeli quote merely serves as a prod to the fact that Jewish thought is always Talmudically cryptic and rarely clearly discernible to a goy. The legend of the scorpion and the frog is exemplary of this: The scorpion asks the frog on the bank to swim him through the stream on his back. The frog thinks for a moment and replies – “You must think I’m stupid. If I’m in the middle of the stream, you’ll sting me and I’ll die.” The scorpion replies that this is very unlikely, because he himself would perish with the dead frog. The argument convinces the frog, he lets the scorpion on his back and swims off. In the middle of the stream he feels the sting of the scorpion and wails in doom “now you’ve killed me, now we’ll both die.” The scorpion replies “what can I do – I am a scorpion after all”.
When we look at the efforts of the Jews for sole world domination, including all the wars and destruction of people and our holy Mother Earth, with the help of mindless and corrupted US military, who do not even notice how the US is equally falling apart through civilizational decomposition and destruction, I conclude that these criminals do not care, in what state the world will be the day of their final success. They follow the hypothesis “when we can’t have the world alone – then noone else shall have it”.
Another analogy to the tactics of the Jews is the fairy tale “The Brave Little Tailor,” where bravery in the case of the Jews means chutzpah. The tailor sits on a tree and drops stones on the faces of sleeping giants. But instead of going after the provocateur, the two giants finish each other off, as intended by the tailor.
The Jew has crept into the European noble houses like “Puss in Boots” (see fairytale). Today, only his moneyed aristocracy rules. However, no magic in the world can turn him back into a shabby rabbi. Or: “Tonight tonight, my plans I make, tomorrow tomorrow, the baby I take. The queen will never win the game, for Rumpelstiltskin is my name.” (Oh how good that no one knows that my name is “Jew”.)
What does “anti-Semitism research” say: “Another possible interpretation sees in Rumpelstiltskin, similar to ‘The Jew in the Thorn’, ‘The Maiden Killed by the Jews’ or ‘The Jew’s Stone’, anti-Jewish clichés and ritual murder legends transported as German folklore and exaggerated to folk wisdom. Thus, its title figure is a symbol of the disturbed relations between Jews and non-Jews, whereby anti-Jewish traditions are disseminated and exacerbated in it. In his strangeness and diabolic nature, the dwarf, whose name, like that of the devil, must not be mentioned, embodies the potentially dangerous outsider, the ‘other’, who lives in the midst of society, but nevertheless in a completely different way, and who therefore becomes a projection surface for the fears and (self-)attributions of the members of the majority society, who see him as a threat. According to the classical anti-Semitic ritual murder legend, the dwarf demands a (Christian) child in return for his magical services. In a paradoxical reversal, in the end it is not the king with his greed for wealth, but Rumpelstiltskin, the threatening helper who realizes desires that are in themselves reprehensible, who is exposed to disregard and annihilation.”
I agree as well. I tried to convey the two-faced nature of Jewish-dominated politics in the essay. Some of our commentators appear not to have understood it. Bluntly: Current right-wing Conservative politics is Jewish controlled opposition to current left-wing Liberal/Progressive politics, also Jewish. We have a third force beyond the 2-party divide controlling both, and it is Extreme Talmudic Fundamentalism.
Although a noble cause ( e.g. to identify what’s jewish or not) as far as I am concerned anything that promotes anti-white European propaganda is either owned or controlled by jewish interest. And of course there are those “entities” which do not belong in these categories but can safely be described as overtly, excessively and submissively, philosemitic.
Yes, and a nobler cause to identify as Jewish anything that contradicts anti-White European propaganda. They have to manage and balance the extremity of “wokeism” lest they see “the rise of another Hitler.” It’s why his Jews had Trump tone down the White nationalism rhetoric in his 2020 campaign.

For the insufferable “Prager”, freedom means first and foremost the absence of any white identity and the possibility of stubbing out his cigar butt on the head of his indolent mutt in front of the fireplace at any time.
“Freedom,” however, means above all putting on smart-ass glasses and “explaining the world” to the dumb goys who mistake this pseudo-conservative Jew-Diva for a “personality”.
A drooling jumbo toad of downright “hominid” proportions. The only question worth discussing about this creature is: Who actually rolls this panting walrus out of its farter every morning?
The perfect comment ! Using the oft Jewish technique of humor. LOL !!

Jewish jokes an be quite funny: cupidity, hypochondria, matriarchy, angst, disagreement…all there, and the only time “they “see oursills as others see us,” (Rabbi Burns). Seinfeld, Sheldon, Stiller. Get a Jewish joke book – Winner’s would do – and have a good laugh before you pull the trigger (only choking).
This was a very informative article. It brings up the question of “what is Christian?” There are now so many varieties and versions of “Christian,” including Christian Zionist where the adherents are more Jewish than Christian. I mean, talk about blurring the lines. This blurring between Christian and Jew is likely the most damaging of all!
See my latest post in recognition of Adolf Hitler’s birthday for my current thoughts on the Christian-Jew relationship, and maybe a little help on remaining clear-headed on the subject. https://carolynyeager.net/reflections-adolf-hitlers-134th-birthday
I think that it is safe to say, today, that a Christian is someone usually of European ancestry, who harbors a Christian culture. He may be an unbeliever, an atheist, but if he respects the truth, relies of facts and logic, appreciates the traditions of Vikings, Romans, Greeks and others as contributing significant ideals to this culture and who rejects the notion of “social construction” where a man can become a woman simply by and act of will, he is a Christian. This is the kind of person which the enemies of the West seek to destroy and erase from this earth.
George, if you take Christ out of Christian, you no longer have a religion, but a culture. Yours is really an untenable position.
Yes, I attempted to define Christianity as a culture, a culture compatible with religious Christians, in contrast to the kind of culture which is growing today in the US and Western Europe.
The culture that you’re speaking of is already labelled the Occident (as in this website’s name), or the West. Christianity does not represent the entirety of Western civilization which began long prior to it’s appearance. Maybe better to see Christianity taking the form it did under the influence of earlier European cultural development – not generating it. Although your desire to name the West “Christian” does not work (because a religion has to include recognition of a divine, mystical source – not man-made), you’re not alone in wanting to do it.
The way I see modern politics, the term, ‘White supremacy’ and related terms, is a code-word or dog-whistle for Christian or someone from a Christian heritage. My Dad was an atheist, almost never went to Church, but he lived his life as a Catholic, because that was his heritage, that made sense to him.
I recognize your point, and Carolyn’s as well. If Christianity is not pro-White and pro-private ownership and pro-family and pro-sane and functional culture, then why did Communism and does Neo-Communism try to destroy it? Communism is overwhelmingly Jewish, just as is totalitarian Capitalism. Christianity considers Usury a sin.
Today however Christianity itself has been weaponized against the West in the form of Christian Zionism. Anything that is pro-Jewish (philosemitic) is anti-West.
Whites would do better with another religion, one based on the heroic tradition of Goths, Gauls, Kelts, Frigians, Scythians, ancient Greeks and Romans, Persians, many others. Perhaps Asatru or Aryanism would be a great improvement. Then at least Whites would have no Jew-worship, but even a proper condemnation.
For centuries, Christianity, as represented by Catholics (both West and East), held Europe together, in spite of the many wars over power and territory. The person of Jesus, the authority of the Bishops (a successors of the Apostles) and the moral law provided this social glue. For White people to chase after other religions would take them back to a tribal ethic and set them against each other in the way we see tribes in the US (e.g. Jews, Black, Hispanics, Asians etc.) compete for power and resources. I am not making a pitch for a religious conversion but an argument to reconnect with what worked in the past as social cohesion.
Mr. Kocan,
I like your description of a Christian.
Thanks.
KJB – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
If Word was God, then God was the word. Jesus was the word made flesh.
The ‘Word’ is Truth.
Christianity is Truth. It doesn’t matter about Christian Zionists, Vatican II, cuck Anglicanism, or any other Jewish perversion.
Truth is inbuilt into every human male(& from there passed onto many woman too) Jews included.
That’s why Jews need such elaborate institutions & to psychologically traumatise their own to bury Truth and serve darkness. They also strive to inflict this poison on as many gentiles as possible too – hence our leftists and treacherous elites.
According to Dutch Catholic thinker Desiderius Erasmus, the essence of Christianity is ***folly***. It is the call of the Christian to be a “fool for Christ” as the Apostle Paul put it. The essence of Christian folly is three fold:
Folly provides the illusions necessary to render life in this world tolerable or even pleasant.
Folly makes the professional leaders of church and state blind enough to be happy in their vicious irresponsibility.
Folly enables the Christian fool to renounce the world in favor of Christian joy, humor, play and a sense of some things being utterly damnable in this life in the beatific vision of life in the next.
To be a Christian is to understand foolishness, being fooled, fooling others, and the only way of transcendence is playing the role of the fool for Christ. To Jews, wisdom is of utmost importance under the assumption that there are wiser people; but Christians understand all are fooled and foolish and thus folly is more valuable than wisdom.
Being a “fool for Christ” is not folly over wisdom. Wisdom is aquired by doing the Will of Christ, aiding brothers and living righteously. The whole reason we are where we are today is because we have forgotten Christ, just as Solzhenitsyn argued. Russia sought something other than Christ, allowed usury to flourish, worked with Zionists, inflation took off, politically emancipated Jews, and opened up her country to joint stock trading, foreign interests and investments hellbent on destroying her.
In America, Christian Zionism is not Christian. It is Jewish dispnesationalism. Jews are currently trying to destroy Christianity.
To understand Evangelical Christian Zionism in America, one has to go back 2000 years. In the first century Marcion compiled the first New Testament comprised of solely the Letters of Paul and parts of the Gospel of Luke. He spread it as far as Rome and it became the adopted Christian “bible”. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, John were not yet written. Then mysteriously there was a mass book burning of some sort and Marcion’s New Testament disappeared only to be replaced with the combined Bible of the Old and New Testaments including the other three Gospels. The 3 gospels were written by Jews to lure Jews back who had converted to Christianity by claiming that Jesus was a Jew. Matthew constructed an entire fictional lineage of Jesus going back to King David (who never existed as there are no tax records, coins, etc. of such a figure). So, Christianity became Judeo-Christianism and is the dominant form form of Christianity in America to this day.
We would never have known of Marcion’s New Testament if it weren’t for Adolph Harnack who in 1910 reconstructed it from the African propagandist’s book Against Marcion, which was a line for line critique of Marcion’s bible. So, Harnack reverse engineered it.
So, to try and answer your question: Christianity was about Kristos (Greek for Christ) not Jesus who was a Jewish invention. So, Christians say they are Christian not Jesus-ians. Suggest reading Jesus Was Not A Jew: An Epistle to the Gentiles (circa 1935), by Jacob Elon Conner, who showed that “Jesus” was Galilean and Galilee was not one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Benjamin Freedman debunks the Jesus-as-Jew myth as well, especially in Facts are Facts.
So does this mean that Saul/Paul was not a Jew either?
Paul was the first Jewish Bolshevik called Shuel (Alfred Rosenberg)
Paul was the first Gentile Nazi called Solon (Hyam Maccoby)
Paul had a Gentile mother and Jesus a Gentile father (H. S. Chamberlain)
Paul was a Judaizer of Christ
Paul was a Paganizer of Christ
Poor old Paul, no-one loves him.
Marcion’s theology was far more phantasmagoric than anything in the canonical NT.
Harnack eventually dated the Synoptic gospels earlier than the lifetime of Marcion; for early dating of the Fourth Gospel, see the studies by John Robinson [2011] and Craig Keener [2012].
Modern research into first-century Israel and the Galileans has superseded the propaganda of people like Conner [accessible online].
I wonder if the Catholics and Protestants who blog here will jump to defend their faith against the heresy of wealthy heretic Marcion and his adherents – “The Jews, the most evil of all the peoples…the God of the Jews, an evil deity” [Jules Lebreton, leading professor of historical theology]?
@Karl Haemers
Website forebears.io also shows that names Streit
and Estrin having their highest frequency in Israel.
Thank you for this reference. Streit must have Euro admixture. Much too attractive to be all Jewish.
Jew psychopath Prager: “If Holocaust deniers don’t go to hell, there is no God.” This is the subterranean non-level at which these satanic megalomaniacal “YHWH”-favorites operate.
– ”the Jew carries the burden of God in history and for this has never been forgiven”
Eh?
We envy/resent Jews because they are Godly? Is that what this means?
It’s this sort of Jewish gibberish that annoys me even more than the mayhem they wreak. Even more than the fact this sort of thing springs from the inversion/satanism that defines them. Jews are demonic not Godly.
The stupidity of it all is more offensive than it’s evil.
That’s the one with Jewish old testament laws instead of cave dwellers. Once they had a TV episode of people eating she’ll fish and getting sick. Much of it is really good. Sometimes I eat shrimp but it’s not a good idea.
I pondered the meaning of this as well. But not too long. As you say, it fits in perfectly with the Jew-as-innocent-victim-of-goyish-irrational-hate story. In this case, perhaps Goyish resentment at the discipline and sacrifice that obedience to God imposes. Or perhaps envy that Jews were “Chosen” over Whites. It’s vague, as you say, but clearly delusional.
Come to Dennis’ “PragerU”,
because the Jew is just like you.
The university, which never was,
turns you into a Santa Claus.
In our name, you give out gifts,
that turn out to be sneaky grifts.
And then all these servile lickspittles, who buzz around the Jew like flies around a turd. In a time when there were still men of honor, this Prager thing would have been made unmistakably clear: “Buddy, you’re walking on the brink of a juicy slap.”
The three great political currents of the 20th century were liberalism, communism and fascism. Non-Jewish fascism was wiped out by the two Jewish forces and it does not seem to be revitalizable (so far). With it perished everything that would have saved the White Race. For 80 years the world has been ruled by the two destroyers, although it is not clear whether communism has now taken over liberalism, or liberalism has taken over communism.
I am in total agreement. I might add Totalitarian Capitalism as a third Jewish force, unless you include it as part of Jewish Communism and/or Jewish liberalism. Jewish “financier” Jacob Schiff funded the Bolsheviks.
This is a great article. Thanks so much for publishing it. I’ve always known Dennis Prager is a snake and anything bearing his name is bound to be a snake pit.
Thank you, I’m glad you found it meaningful. I was astonished to discover PragerU CEO Streit was a Unit 8200 agent! Case closed.
“Prager and co-author Rabbi Telushkin state: “the Jew carries the burden of God in history and for this has never been forgiven” – What mumbo-jumbo! This is very typical of Jew-speak. Jews use a lot of words to basically say nothing. But it sounds good, and easily convinces the simple-minded.
Non-Jews throughout history have been anti-Semitic not because Jews carry around some mysterious “burden of God in history,” but because Jews have subverted their countries, engaged in endless monetary schemes that have made merchandise off their host peoples, have created morally destructive vice industries, and have purposely worked to demoralize and racially replace those of European descent.
They have also played a disproportionate role in bringing about two World Wars, they were the main actors in the bloody Bolshevik Revolution (especially in its leadership), and they were instrumental in America’s warmongering throughout the Middle East for the past twenty years.
The same accusations, time after time, have been leveled at Jews for centuries. But like Blacks who refuse to take responsibility for themselves, Jews likewise blame everyone and everything for their troubles but themselves. Blacks claim it’s “racism” and “the legacy of slavery,” whereas Jews claim it’s “anti-Semitism.” Both are lies.
I appreciate your cogent summary. Exactly.
I would only add that Jews convince blacks that Whitey is their problem, not themselves. And certainly not Jews. Malcolm X stated openly that a big black problem was Jews.
There is good recent evidence Columbus was the illegitimate son of a Jewish woman and a Portuguese nobleman.He grew up in Cuba, Portugal- his mother’s home .He named Cuba Island for his home town.
He was not Italian.He took advantage of his Jewish heritage and connections to raise money for his ventures.
The slave ships were mostly owned by Portuguese Jews
Needs links to supporting evidence.
The history now makes sense. Columbus was a (Catholic) Jew who enslaved the natives in the New Land.
With Jesus as his proxy 😭
Cuba was named after a Portuguese town where Columbus grew up? Astonishing.
Yes, please provide source.

“‘They take us back to the 1930s, these are words that have the flavour of white supremacism,’ Elly Schlein, the hardline progressive leader of Italy’s Democratic Party, remarked.
(((Schlein))) – who has been billed as Italy’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in English-speaking media – went on to describe the comments as being particularly problematic considering Italian President Sergio Mattarella’s visit to Auschwitz on Tuesday, and called on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to distance her Fratelli D’Italia party from the comments.”

Thank you for a very informative article. PragerU is a viper nest and nothing nurtured by it can be trusted.
Right. I’m glad you understood the conclusion. PragerU is cleverly disguised as anti-Woke, but it is pro-Jew.
Several comments here are counsels of despair.
As Sir Oswald Mosley said to fellow-prisoner Captain Archibald Ramsay during the war, “If the Jews were really that powerful, then we have already lost, but I refuse to believe that is the case.”
While I have not read all of the com-
ments, “despair” is a word that does
n’t apply to any of the ones I’ve read.
Despair is the most idiotic way of dealing with reality. For despair, after all, always indicates a total incapacity for logical competence, and this, though the Jews are fond of causing it, is the last thing by which the white race excels.
“Fighter for Renewal “is absolutely a name worth advocating. So that it does not strike German eyes as foreign, the umlaut should be considered. The two permissible versions are: “Kämpfer für Erneuerung” or “Kaempfer fuer Erneuerung”.
During my stints as a homeless person, I’ve known plenty of homeless Jewish people. This seems more like what big corporations do really.
Ashkenazi Jews have a high incidence of schizophrenia, so I would expect some of them to be among the homeless. That and the fact that they have no proven Israelite blood and missed out on all the wandering in the desert.
Intriguing name Tom. Do you see the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever as essentially a Semitic story? Linden Avery the Chosen, Covenant being the pact between Yahwey and the Jews, Thomas the powerful leper anti-hero, the Worm of the World’s End as the Jewish Leviathan, Thomas as rapist, gold as the ultimate power… This fantasy series is loaded with Semitic symbolism. I enjoyed it immensely as a youth, as designed.
The mytheme of the Divine Hero in Cosmic Combat against the Evil Reptile is found in both Indo-European and Hebrew traditions.
An especially effective way for a group to control and thereby disable opposition is to encourage or provoke its angry but more stupid supporters to utter violent, ridiculous or unsubstantiated comments, or to infiltrate shrewd and experienced agents among them for the same purpose, thus denying the oxygen of public support, especially among normal, kind and sensible people, including those with some historical and psychological knowledge.
The psychopath rarely has enough insight to examine the actual results of his beliefs or actions.
Well put, Mr Baynes!
KMac opened a can of worms which are eating away the legitimacy of his blogsite and the credibility of his cause.
He opened no can of worms. He only pointed out to the worms crawling all over the place, in the open, and did a masterful, objective analysis of their nature, their lethality to their hosts and their organized helminthology networks.
Thanks for standing up for both the good sense and the integrity of this site’s leaned host, ariadna, against one of several notable fifth-column apologists for the worms.
@ P de C
The beauty of the Reply facility on this site is that it opens the possibility of serious debate by means of rational and well-informed argument, about Jews, Catholics, Communists, Muslims, or anyone/anything else.
It is a futile disservice when bloggers post mere personal abuse, or just make vague assertions based on a phrase used by nationalists awaiting liberation from Red-Masonic rule during the Spanish civil war.
Instead of brief egotistic expressions of lordly approval or disapproval, Monsieur, why not answer the content of posts you dislike?
And why do you pray to a Jewish woman who married a Jew and had a Jewish family (Mark 6.3) if you dislike Jews so much?
There is no need to get quite so exercised over a “disservice” that you consider “futile,” and thus, therefore, ineffective, is there?
I take it that the bit about “assertions based on a phrase used by nationalists awaiting liberation from Red-Masonic rule during the Spanish civil war” refers to “5-columnists”?
Dear popess, the term has long entered common usage, as “the enemy within.”
It is as silly as saying “Quisling” is a term used by Norwegians.
I always get a kick out of jews and philo-semites using their most cherished/worshipped identity as an insult: “what, you think jews are bad, well, take this: Jesus was a Jew! So was his mother!” It must be a painful sacrifice.
When I can free up some time from watching paint dry I must search for other papal bullae posted by you so I can learn how to engage in “serious debate by means of rational and well-informed argument.”
The worms are illiterates, idiots and psychopaths whose violent rage and half-baked generalities undermine the serious, rational and documented analysis of Jewish activities by KMac, and too few others here, thereby inviting ridicule, distaste and needless opposition; a gratuitous asset to the ADL, AIPAC, SPLC, WZO & “ZOG” .
That’s quite an abusive comment, Ned, from someone who brags about eschewing abuse. One might almost say you were being two-faced, save that you have so many more than two faces hereabouts.
Perhaps Ned’s (Rockford’s?) comment can be useful.
“ridicule, distaste and needless opposition” is guaranteed, even and perhaps especially to KMac, So no “undermining” by others will deter that, since the “inviting” is already accomplished by KMac and too few others here.
Even “violent rage and half-baked generalities” can be useful, in the context of Obscuring the Jewish Issue, and as we see in Ned’s comment.
The Babylon Bee derides Dennis Prager:
LOS ANGELES, CA — On the heels of conservative media pundit Dennis Prager stating his belief that consuming pornography is acceptable if it keeps spouses from engaging in adultery, reports indicate the rest of the workforce at PragerU is now awkwardly making every attempt to avoid shaking Prager’s hand.
“Yeah, it just feels…icky,” said popular PragerU personality Amala Ekpunobi. “We all have a lot of respect for Dennis around here, but that statement definitely made us cringe a little bit. He seems like the type of guy who would be diligent about washing his hands, but…I don’t know. Fist bumps are good for now.”
Prager has come under criticism from many on the right for his statement, with other conservative personalities stressing their disagreement. “While Dennis is certainly entitled to his opinion, I think I’d prefer not to shake his hand right now,” said one notable commentator who asked to remain anonymous. “Oh crap, he’s not standing behind me, is he?”
Other employees at the PragerU offices were seen going out of their way to greet Prager in other ways, including winks, head nods, bowing Japanese-style, and pointing their index fingers at him as pistols and saying, “Hey, there, boss man!” Witnesses reported seeing other members of the team simply dart into nearby rooms to avoid any potentially awkward interactions.
At publishing time, Mr. Prager himself expressed bewilderment at the situation, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he had made everyone at the company feel weird and look for ways to avoid contact.
Good find. Typical perverse Jew.
The French author Guillaume Faye in his book Sex and Deviance advocates for prostitution as part of the strategy to maintain the family structure. He says prostitution was always an acceptable way for the natural promiscuity of the male to find expression while maintaining a stable marriage primarily for the raising of children.
Faye also advocates for transhuman technological human breeding, though, so whatever.
The notion of one wife with sole exclusive obligations as mother, housemaid, cook, activity companion, sole attractive sex partner, lifelong carer and part-time breadwinner is not an easy one. The Greeks and the Japanese divided up the female tasks a bit.
Wise army officers study the motives as well as actions of their enemy.
They do not provide the enemy with gratuitous propaganda weapons.
Who cares whether “Ned” is anyone or everyone else – was he right or wrong?
