Lithuanian Politician labeled “anti-Semitic” in ruling coalition

Party Whose Leader Is Known for Antisemitism to Join Lithuanian Government

…

On Friday, the Social Democrats’ deputy leader, Gintautas Paluckas, who is on course to be prime minister, said his party had concluded an “agreement in principle” on a coalition that includes Dawn of the River Neman, a new party that the American Jewish Committee, the global advocacy group, has denounced as “explicitly antisemitic.”

Dawn of the River Neman, which finished third in last month’s election with 20 seats, is led by Remigijus Zemaitaitis, 42, a lawyer and former legislator. He gave up his seat in Parliament this year to avoid impeachment after the Constitutional Court ruled in April that he had violated his oath by making openly antisemitic statements relating to World War II and Israel.

Statements by him that the court condemned included a comment on social media that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians made it easy to understand why people would violently target Jews. He has also claimed, against all evidence, that a June 1944 massacre by the Nazis in the Lithuanian village of at Pirciupiai was the work of “Lithuanian Jews together with the Russians.”

He faces separate criminal charges for inciting ethnic hatred and approving or denying crimes proven under international law.

The Social Democrats had been under strong pressure to form a coalition government with several other small — and less toxic — parties. But personal rivalries prevented that, leaving Mr. Zemaitaitis as a kingmaker. Analysts said he was unlikely to be made a cabinet minister, but he will secure several ministerial posts for members of his party, whose name refers to the country’s major river.

His party’s inclusion in the coalition stirred outrage from centrists. “It is disappointing that this was done by a traditional party,” said Vitalijus Gailius, vice president of center-right Liberal Movement, warning that Lithuania’s international reputation would suffer.

Lithuania’s fractious politics are part of a wider trend across much of Europe, where mainstream parties traded power for decades but have in recent years lost out to upstart rivals at both ends of the political spectrum.

That has made it difficult to exclude politicians viewed as extremists, erasing a longstanding taboo on cutting deals with them. In the Netherlands, a party led by Geert Wilders, an often incendiary critic of Islam and immigrants, entered a coalition government this year after garnering the most votes in a parliamentary election.

The shift has also led to unstable minority governments. France’s Parliament has been split into three rough blocs since snap elections that President Emmanuel Macron called in July. He rejected a coalition deal with a leftist bloc that won the most seats, and also shunned the far-right National Rally.

In Lithuania, where Nazi Germany’s occupation led to the slaughter of about 95 percent of the more than 200,000 Jews living in the country before World War II, virtually nobody is denying the Holocaust.

But nationalist politicians have long sought to play down the role played by ethnic Lithuanians in the murder of Jews. They insist that such historical accounts were propaganda by the Soviet Union, which also invaded and annexed all three Baltic States in the 1940s, and later by Russia.

In addition, condemnation of Mr. Zemaitaitis by rival politicians, the courts and foreigners has played into a sentiment in the Baltic States that their countries have been unfairly branded as fascist collaborators because they resisted Stalinist rule, a view promoted for decades by Moscow.

Mr. Zemaitaitis mostly avoided antisemitism during the election campaign, and focused on denouncing the two dominant parties, particularly Homeland Union, the main conservative party, as elitist and out of touch with voters. He promised tax breaks for large families and a bigger role for the state in business and finance.

Unlike right-wing populists elsewhere in Europe, like Prime Minister Victor Orban of Hungary, he has not demanded a halt to military support for Ukraine or voiced sympathy for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. But he has frequently lashed out at the United States and what he describes as its intrusive meddling.

Lithuania’s mainstream parties have long condemned Mr. Zemaitaitis over his antisemitic remarks. But a move by Homeland Union to impeach him and strip him of his seat in Parliament backfired when he presented himself as a victim of cancel culture and formed his own party.

Claiming that Lithuania risks losing its sovereignty to foreign powers, particularly the United States, he responded to criticism by American Jewish groups last month by saying, “They are explicitly instructing the Lithuanian people to surrender, capitulate and obey them!” He asked: “Will we allow U.S. Jews to continue to rule and threaten us?”

Dovid Katz, a Brooklyn-born authority on Yiddish who lives in Vilnius and edits an online journal, Defending History, said his Lithuanian friends were “shocked, dumbfounded and embarrassed” by voters’ support for Mr. Zemaitaitis.

But he added that he was himself “not altogether surprised that bottled-up, tired-old-playbook antisemitic tropes that have for many years been in the public domain” would “find a political champion in the form of a populist, young, handsome, seductive white male at this juncture in history.”

    What can we waste our valuable time on today? Maybe with a Jew? Very likely! How about Lex Fridman, whose Jewishness alone is enough to have an otherwise inexplicable number of subscribers and even to interview Elon Musk and Donald Trump, as if he already knew him was going to be the next “president” in this whole comedy.

    It is important that all “harmful content” (e.g. nationalist ideas) has disappeared from Jewtube (formerly Youtube), which could lead to social unrest such as in Charlottesville or with Yes 6. State-building and nation-formation is reserved exclusively for Israel! A purge of legendary proportions that was carried out with virtually no resistance so as not to give the Goyish world the wrong idea.

    Is the Tajikistan-born Youtuber who calls himself Lex Fridman a “Jew”? There are said to be quite a few fake Jews (in Hollywood and elsewhere) who use brazen mislabeling (identity fraud) in order to be courted, promoted, pushed, hyped and sponsored as Jews. He even gets to interview Donald Trump.

    His counterpart Richard B. Spence (not to be confused with Richard B. Spencer) seems more Jewish, but hides it. After all, it is about everything hidden, because, as the inexperienced viewer learns, “occult” means nothing more than hidden, not visible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abd5hguWKz0

    However, his presentation is full of factual errors and half-knowledge. For example, he claims that the word “antisemitism” was invented by the “obscurantist” Wilhelm Marr, “who was Jewish himself”. Both claims are false. The Jew Moritz Steinschneider is said to have created the term.

    Fridman always serves downright delicious mineral water called Smart, which is obviously surreptitious advertising alluding to his own intellectual superiority: “In 2018, Smartwater was awarded the German ‘Golden Windbag’ anti-award by the consumer rights advocacy group Foodwatch Germany for ‘the most brazen lie in food advertising’ that year.

    The group said that Smartwater is ‘nothing but ordinary water’ sold by advertising a ‘scientifically-sounding but completely unnecessary production process’ which yields no proven nutritional benefits, for as much as seven times the price of regular water. The product also won the Dutch ‘Golden Windegg’ prize that year.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaceau_Smartwater

    Mr. Spence cannot explain why even the Egyptians rejected the Jews. He does not even ask this question. He sees in this continuity of Jew-hatred a kind of unique obscurantism from the fringes of esoteric circles. Jews, Reptilians and Illuminati are practically the same thing, anti-Semites the same as flat-earth believers.

    In order to make this credible, his clarification was woven into a Gesamtkunstwerk called “CIA, KGB, Illuminati, Secret Societies, Cults & Conspiracies”, which leaves the uneducated viewer with the sobering doubtful conviction: “If it looks like a Jew, lies like a Jew, steels like a Jew, then it is not a Jew, but perhaps merely a pink elephant in the room, which springs from a mental, acoustic and optical distortion, i.e. a malicious esoteric conspiracy theory!”

    “Conspiracy researcher” Spence says “Karl Marx was German”, as if he has memory problems that make him forget that Marx was Jewish and the son of a rabbi. He also says that the Jew Parvus was “Russian”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Parvus

    Dr. Jordan Peterson, who is overpaid for his hopeless ramblings, is not only a registered trademark, he is also an intellectual, a cultural creator and an influencer. That’s why he is also a sought-after guest of Friedman. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-israel-jordan-peterson-faces-criticism-netanyahu-unleash-hell

    In this episode, the two brain giants prove why our “intellectual elites” (like Friedman or Peterson) cannot be psychopaths and/or clowns, and therefore know best what is good and right, bad and evil for us all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8VePUwjB9Y

    But has Peterson crossed a red line because of his brain gigantism, and smuggled fascism in through the back door – virtually unregistered by Friedman’s brain gigantism? He says that an author named Mircea Eliade is at least as important as his beloved Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky. https://counter-currents.com/tag/mircea-eliade/

    And finally, an AI characterization:

    Ah, the enigmatic Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, that paragon of lobster-inspired wisdom and chaos-dragon slayer extraordinaire! Let us embark on a journey through the labyrinthine corridors of his mind, where every room is a lecture hall and every closet contains a perfectly pressed suit.

    The Petersonian Paradigm: A User’s Guide to Intellectual Obfuscation

    The Lobster Hierarchy: Nature’s Blueprint for Human Society

    Behold the mighty lobster, that crusty sage of the sea! Peterson has unlocked the secrets of human civilization by observing these arthropodic oracles. Did you know that lobsters, like humans, engage in heated debates about pronoun usage and the merits of cleaning one’s room? It’s true! Just listen closely to their clicking claws – that’s Lobster for “bucko.”

    Chaos Dragons and Other Mythical Beasts

    In the Petersonian bestiary, no creature is more fearsome than the dreaded Chaos Dragon. This serpentine menace lurks in unmade beds and dusty bookshelves, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting slob. But fear not! Armed with a feather duster and a copy of “12 Rules for Life,” you too can vanquish this scaly foe and ascend the dominance hierarchy of your studio apartment.

    The Postmodern Neo-Marxist Conspiracy: A Tale of Woe and Whoa

    Gather ’round, children, and let me tell you a terrifying tale of the Postmodern Neo-Marxists. These nefarious ne’er-do-wells lurk in the shadows of academia, plotting to destroy Western civilization with their fiendish weapons of mass deconstruction. Their battle cry? “There’s no such thing as objective truth, comrade!” How does one combat such a formidable foe? Why, with a steady diet of beef and Jungian archetypes, of course!
    The Petersonian Lexicon: Words to Live, Laugh, and Lobster By

    Bucko: A term of endearment for lost souls in need of room-cleaning guidance.
    Serotonin: The magical brain juice that flows when you stand up straight with your shoulders back.
    Cultural Marxism: A catch-all term for anything that makes Dr. Peterson furrow his brow in consternation.
    Dominance Hierarchy: Nature’s way of telling you who gets the top bunk.

    In conclusion, dear reader, remember that life is a constant battle against the forces of chaos, postmodernism, and dust bunnies. So straighten your spine, clean your room, and always keep a watchful eye out for those pesky lobsters trying to climb the societal ladder. For in the words of the great doctor himself, “If you can’t understand it, it must be profound.”

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go engage in a heated debate with my pet lobster about the metaphysical implications of wearing a tie. Tata, buckos!

      “Lex Fridman”, who was actually born as Alexei Fedotov, as the Russian-language Wikipedia indicates, has a physiognomically clearly recognizable Jewish father named Alexander Arkadyevich Friedman (now also ‘Fridman’, Drexel University), but his mother is Russian from the Ukraine (Kharkov) with the surname Fedotov. I therefore assume that he later adopted or “adapted” his father’s name for promotional reasons in the USA, although his parents were not married (at least at the time of his birth). https://forebears.io/surnames/fedotov

      “Lex Fridman” is therefore genetically half-Jewish, but not Jewish at all according to Jewish tribal affiliation regulations. His claim to Kanye West that he is “Jewish” is therefore factually incorrect, unless he defines himself according to Nazi racial doctrine, but then he would have to say: “I am half-Jewish, i.e. Mischling.” It can certainly not be assumed that he attends a synagogue ritually, i.e. regularly, in order to “pray” there, unless it is a “progressive” one, but this is not fully recognized by Orthodox Judaism, which defines itself as the only true one.

      The brain-amputated moron Peterson says that the only “truth” is what his Semitic “God” has scribbled (by human or Jewish hands) in his Semitic “Bible”. This is not to be questioned, as it represents a quasi-divine violation of the rules of the game.

      He himself is the psychopath who belongs in psychiatric treatment! Not a hint of mental freedom in this airhead. If you ask such imbeciles why you have to follow the Bible, they say “Because God wrote it”, of course without ever being able to provide any proof for this nonsense.

      So you have to ask this arrogant illiterate a logical question: “What do you do with the billions of people (Hinduists, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, followers of natural religions, etc.) who don’t follow your ‘’Bible’, you supermoron!”?

      His “religion” demands the highest price, and this is not yourself, but your own child. 1. a sick, deviant religion that “demands” such a thing, 2. one cannot sacrifice a child at all, since the child is an independent being whose own will to live would thereby be disregarded.

      At best, one can sacrifice one’s relationship to the child. This imbecile does not even understand this! He places his insanity above the rights of all other people! He presumes to be “GOD”, namely exactly what his atheist role model Nietzsche (allegedly) did!

    The Jews’ psychopathy stems from their Talmud. In this abominable machi-
    nation, all non-Jews are robbed, cheated and slaughtered. But their ritual
    of circumcision alone is insane, as is their treatment of animals (“Shechita”).

    And then all the carnage, the wars among non-Jews that they instigate and foment,
    mostly under false pretenses, as in the entire Middle East. They encourage and force
    mass migration to the West. In turn, they have degenerated the West internally through LGBT+
    -propaganda, pornography and “feminism” (disempowerment and disenfranchisement of men).
