Argentina is one country this author has watched like a hawk, especially as global Jewish networks continue to reap the benefits of having Javier Milei as their loyal shabbos goy. As previously documented, Milei’s rise was no accident—it was the result of strategic Jewish activism, reinforced by subtle but unmistakable backing from Washington.

Yet political engineering isn’t the only arena where these forces exert influence. In August 2022, Argentine media was consumed by the dramatic takedown of the Buenos Aires Yoga School. Its founder, Juan Percowicz, was paraded before cameras in a scene that drew some parallels to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Juan Percowicz was born in Buenos Aires in 1938, the son of Polish-Ukrainian Jews. The working-class area of Villa Crespo, where he spent his early years, became a haven for Jewish newcomers hoping to rebuild their lives after the chaos that engulfed Europe. Percowicz’s early education at the University of Buenos Aires set him on a conventional career path. He became a licensed accountant and business administrator, eventually earning recognition in 1993 from the World Education Council for his educational work. Yet behind this professional façade lay a hunger for something deeper.

Beginning in the 1970s, Percowicz immersed himself in philosophy and spiritual teachings, absorbing the work of Western and Eastern thinkers alike. He attended Raja Yoga courses at GEBA, one of Buenos Aires’s most exclusive clubs, and drew inspiration from Hermann Hesse, George Gurdjieff, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Dale Carnegie.

What distinguished Percowicz was his ability to transform these wide-ranging influences into a living community. In 1983, he established the Buenos Aires Yoga School (BAYS), which appealed to students, artists, and other eccentrics, many of whom, like him, were descendants of immigrants.

As time progressed, BAYS gradually became a reflection of the Argentine capital. Although the school had Jewish roots, it still welcomed a diverse membership. The school grew in a neighborhood filled with synagogues and Hebrew schools. Its philosophy aligned with Buenos Aires’ progressive culture of self-discovery. Percowicz and his followers viewed it as a peaceful retreat. They focused on spiritual growth as opposed to political or financial ambition.

As with any institution under Jewish leadership, controversy eventually surfaced. The group’s first brush with drama arose in 1993, when family disputes and accusations from disaffected members spilled into criminal court. At the forefront of the accusations stood Pablo Salum, who would go on to build his reputation as Argentina’s self-styled watchdog against cultic organizations.

Salum made bold accusations. He claimed the organization engaged in brainwashing, financial exploitation, and even operated a prostitution ring. For nearly a decade, authorities carried out investigations, raided homes, and wiretapped conversations. In the end, however, Judge Julio César Corvalán de la Colina acquitted all the parties involved. His 2000 ruling concluded that the case was driven more by family disputes and conflicting testimonies than by solid evidence of criminal conduct. Rumors of scandal lingered around BAYS in the years that followed.

By August 2022, the case took on new life, propelled by shifting legal standards and a public concerned about stories of exploitation and coercion. The Argentine state responded with force. Police arrested 19 people, including Percowicz, during a sweeping operation.

News outlets were filled with sensational allegations of human trafficking, money laundering, conspiracy, and sexual exploitation. Prosecutors argued that BAYS operated not as a school but as a profitable criminal enterprise. According to their claims, certain women, referred to as the “geishas,” were tasked with seducing powerful or well-connected men in order to recruit them as prostitution clients or targets for blackmail. Authorities estimated that the operation was generating nearly $500,000 per month. The scale of the accusations shocked many Argentines.

What drew even more international attention was Plácido Domingo’s supposed involvement in this case. Wiretap transcripts surfaced in which the world-famous tenor appeared to be negotiating sexual encounters with a BAYS member. The wiretapped recordings allegedly show a man identified as Domingo discussing arrangements for sexual services with a woman called “Mendy.”

Officials emphasized that Domingo “didn’t commit a crime, nor is he part of the organization, but rather he was a consumer of prostitution” which is legal in Argentina. Nevertheless, the media sensationalized the case and magnified its impact. Domingo admitted he had known the group’s leaders for years but denied any participation in criminality or coercion.

Courts subsequently ordered a series of psychological tests on the alleged victims. Each woman firmly denied having been coerced into prostitution or manipulation. Several described their involvement as a conscious choice that had brought value to their lives.

The collapse of the prosecution’s case unfolded gradually. Those detained were released, and, in December 2023, Argentina’s Court of Appeals nullified the planned trial, reprimanding investigators for neglecting exculpatory evidence and credible expert opinions. In June 2024, the case came to an end when Argentina’s Court of Cassation upheld the prior annulment and dismissed the possibility of a future trial due to serious flaws in the prosecution’s approach. Everyone charged, including Percowicz, was set free. Legal experts widely concluded that the case lacked a genuine victim and proof and that it had been fueled more by collective anxiety than by criminal behavior.

In the months since the last acquittals, BAYS has resumed its workshops and meetings. What truly transpired at the yoga school remains unclear. At 87, Percowicz appears set to spend his remaining years in relative ease, thanks to his Jewish privilege. Given their predilection for engaging in behavior that clashes with gentile norms and laws, suspicion toward Jewish behavior in Argentina and the rest of the world, for that matter, is understandable. Argentina has the largest Jewish population in Latin America, with about 250,000 members, and ranks fifth worldwide outside Israel. Where Jews are numerous, one can expect a corresponding rise in misconduct and the social decay that often follows.

The Percowicz affairs offers a sobering illustration of how societies with weak legal frameworks and degraded moral standards can become playgrounds for unscrupulous Jewish actors. In Argentina, where prostitution has been legal for over a century, figures like Percowicz have ample room to operate under the guise of spiritual or therapeutic communities while quietly corroding the social fabric.

Cults like BAYS do more than exploit legal loopholes; they tear families apart and spread dysfunction. These outcomes are not incidental—they’re part of a more alarming pattern. In environments where libertinism is tolerated or even encouraged, oligarchs find expedited pathways for subversion.

This is hardly new, as the case of the modern-day United States illustrates. In the middle of the 20^th century, Jewish film producer Otto Preminger played a major role in dismantling the Hays Code—a set of moral standards that once restricted sexual, violent, and profane content in Hollywood— by producing films such as The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959) that challenged this very code. Through his persistent defiance of moral codes, Preminger helped usher in the era of the modern film rating system, replacing old standards with a more permissive framework. The erosion of such norms was a necessary step in conditioning populations to accept the abnormal as normal.

Fast forward to today, and similar dynamics persist. The rise of platforms like OnlyFans—now run by Jewish billionaire Leonid Radvinsky—demonstrates how easily Jewish oligarchs monetize and normalize sexual degradation.

Percowicz, like many in the Jewish community, has also capitalized on Argentina’s permissiveness. Wherever Jews find chinks in a nation’s moral armor, they don’t hesitate to exploit them. And in doing so, they inject rot that seeps into every corner of public life.

With Javier Milei as president. Jews will be having the time of their lives, knowing full well that he will govern to ensure that the Southern Cone nation will be a safe space for the Jewish diaspora. As long as Jews remain insulated by these protections, even more disturbing episodes may emerge—making the Percowicz affair seem tame by comparison.

Such outcomes are inevitable when gentiles permit Jews to consolidate political power and wealth. To preserve social cohesion, nations should be cautious about allowing the Jewish diaspora to embed itself too deeply within their institutions.

Although I’m a great admirer of the Jewish New Yorker Larry Auster (1949-2013), I’m glad that he seems never to have had any children. Why am I glad? Because of something called reversion to the mean. By Jewish standards, Auster was unusually sympathetic to White gentiles and unusually honest about non-White criminality. If he’d had children, I don’t think they would shared his sympathy and honesty. They would probably have reverted to the Jewish mean of hostility to Whites and dishonesty about non-Whites.

Good father, bad son

Or those children could have been disappointing in other ways. I was once a big fan of the writer Isaac Asimov (1920-92), a Jewish New Yorker like Auster. So I was disappointed to hear that in 1998 Asimov’s son David Asimov was caught with “the biggest child pornography collection in Sonoma County history.” Interestingly, none other than Robert Mueller of the FBI helped Asimov Jr to avoid a prison sentence and serve only home detention. Mueller was also involved when the Jewish child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein was treated with similar leniency. Many people have suggested that Jewish privilege was at work in both cases.

I agree with the suggestions. I’d also compare both Asimov and Epstein with Anthony Weiner, the Jewish New Yorker and Democrat high-flier whose energetic on-line sexual activities helped doom Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency. And Isaac Asimov presented himself as very sexually energetic, albeit not (so far as is known) in a criminal way. Jews seem to have a higher sex-drive and higher tendency to sexual perversion than White gentiles. But this is one of those patterns you are not supposed to notice. As I’ve pointed out before, the Jewish anti-racist Liz Fekete abhors the “long history of racialising sex crimes [in Britain] — Jews being associated with paedophilia in the 1930s, West Indians with pimping in the 1950s and now the focus has shifted to Muslim ‘groomers’.”

Jewish outliers

But do those racial associations reflect reality or bigotry? I’d say that they all reflect reality. It is not a coincidence that that the Jew Jeffrey Epstein raped and trafficked so many under-aged White girls or that the Jew David Asimov had such a large collection of child pornography. Both men come from the small Jewish minority in America but are sexual outliers just as mega-fraudsters like Bernie Madoff and Robert Maxwell are financial outliers. In a much more positive way, the mathematician Grigori Perelman and the chess-champion Garry Kasparov are intellectual outliers. When a small minority supplies so many outliers like that, something very interesting is going on. It’s related both to Jewish intelligence and to the “psychological intensity” identified by Kevin MacDonald as one of the traits behind Jewish success.

But Jewish outliers like Epstein and Maxwell display another Jewish trait: a quasi-psychopathic disregard for the welfare of the non-Jewish outgroup. Both men were predators who exploited goyim ruthlessly for their own gain. Which isn’t to say that goyim were blameless: Epstein found willing gentile customers like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew for his child-prostitution ring. Or so the allegations run. Indeed, some commentators say that Epstein was working with the Deep State and Israel to gather blackmail material on members of the elite. Like Epstein’s paedophilia and entrepreneurial skills, this would also fit a Jewish pattern: that of a tendency towards spying and voyeurism. As I described in “The Price of Paranoia,” the surveillance state is a thoroughly Jewish phenomenon.

Seeing the Stone Age

Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) is by far the most famous prophecy of the surveillance state, but I’d like to look at a less famous literary treatment of the surveillance theme. It’s by a writer I’ve already mentioned: the Jew Isaac Asimov. In 1956 Asimov published a short story called “The Dead Past.” That’s an ironic title, because the story is about chronoscopy, an elaborate and highly expensive invention that brings the past back to life by allowing researchers to both view and hear real scenes from “Greece, Rome, Carthage, Egypt,” even “the Stone Age.”

Or so it’s alleged in the story. Alas, Asimov’s stories combine leaden prose with cardboard characters, which is why I now prefer his science fact to his science fiction. All the same, “The Dead Past” is a fascinating story, full of ideas and invention, and it stayed with me after I first read it decades ago. It begins with a historian called Arnold Potterley trying to gain access to a chronoscope. He wants to prove that the ancient Carthaginians did not in fact practise child-sacrifice. Potterley’s efforts are rebuffed, but he doesn’t give up, because he has strong personal reasons for wanting to exonerate the Carthaginians.

No such thing as privacy

Potterley recruits a young physicist, Jonas Foster, to investigate the curiously inactive field of chronoscopy, which has existed for decades but achieved very little. It turns out (spoiler alerts) that the government is deliberately suppressing research and choking the field off, so Foster uses new and cheaper techniques to build an illicit chronoscope of his own. He learns that the government has lied to the public: chronoscopy can’t view the distant past because it depends on tiny subatomic particles known as neutrinos. The further these particles travel through time, the less precisely they can be focused. Accordingly, the chronoscope can see little more than a century back.

But within that temporal limit, it can see anything that has happened anywhere on earth. And this omnivision turns out to be the crux of Asimov’s story. A chronoscope is the ultimate spying-device, because the past “begins an instant ago” and a chronoscope can easily view all moments of any living person’s existence. When a government official, Thaddeus Araman, uncovers Foster’s illegal research, he explains why the government doesn’t want chronoscopes to become widely available:

“There will be no such thing as privacy. The party line, the prying eye behind the curtain will be nothing compared to it. The video stars will be closely watched at all times by everyone. Every man his own peeping Tom and there’ll be no getting away from the watcher. Even darkness will be no escape because chronoscopy can be adjusted to the infrared and human figures can be seen by their own body heat. The figures will be fuzzy, of course, and the surroundings will be dark, but that will make the titillation of it all the greater, perhaps… Even the men in charge of the machine now experiment sometimes in spite of the regulations against it.” (“The Dead Past,” 1956, online text)

But it’s too late by then: Foster’s new research can’t be suppressed and Araman’s dire warning will soon become reality. As Araman says to Foster and his collaborators: “Happy goldfish bowl to you, to me, to everyone, and may each of you fry in hell forever.”

“Registered parcel for Mrs Levy”

As I said, it’s an interesting story and it stayed with me after I first read it. Asimov obviously didn’t like the idea of society as a panopticon, where everyone can be watched all the time. But it’s interesting that the pornographic aspect of surveillance was central to his thinking: “the titillation of it all.” It’s also interesting to ask where he got his pessimism about the human predilection for spying. Perhaps this Jewish joke offers some clues:

The new postman is delivering a registered parcel and needs a signature so he rings the doorbell. Sadie sticks her head out of the bedroom window and says, “Nu [Yiddish for “So?” or “Well?”], what is it?”

“I have a registered parcel for Mrs Levy,” he replies.

“Is it wrapped in fancy gift paper or just plain brown paper?” Sadie asks.

“Ordinary brown paper, ma’am,” he replies.

“So who is it from?” Sadie asks.

“It’s from Cohen’s department store, ma’am,” he replies.

“Does it say from which branch?” Sadie asks.

“Yes, ma’am,” he replies, “it’s from the Jameson Street branch.”

“Does it say what’s in it?” Sadie asks.

“It says it’s from their ‘Writing Instruments’ department,” he replies. “Will you now come down and sign for it, please.”

“Sorry,” replies Sadie, “I can’t do that.”

“Why not?” he asks.

“Because,” Sadie replies, “I’m Sadie Cohen. Mrs Levy lives next door.”

That’s a Jewish joke in two senses. First, it’s about Jews and appears on Jewish sites. Second, it must have been created by a Jew. It’s an insider’s comment on Jewish psychology and culture. Isaac Asimov, who was born in Russia and grew up in New York, may have been influenced by the same psychology and culture when he wrote “The Dead Past.” Spying, prying and voyeurism are not of course unique to Jews, but there does seem to be a stronger tendency to those things among Jews.

The American government is not virtuous

Information is power, after all, and I suggested in “The Price of Paranoia” that the Jewish role in the surveillance state was driven partly by their paranoia about gentiles. But surveillance isn’t simply utilitarian and Asimov was right to be pessimistic about what would happen if a panoptic spying-device became widely available. Society would indeed turn into a “goldfish bowl” and no-one’s life would be safe from prying eyes. But I think Asimov was very wrong about something else: the attitude of government to such a device. In his story, the American government is virtuous and doesn’t use the chronoscope to spy on its own people. That wouldn’t happen in real life. As Edward Snowden and others have proved, the American government is eager to use technology to spy on Americans and gather useful information against them.

In part this is because the American government no longer regards the White majority as its own people. Instead, it’s hostile towards them and wants to swamp them with mass immigration from the Third World. The same is true of other White-majority nations, from Ireland in the far north-west to New Zealand in the far south-east. We are ruled by a hostile elite that is dominated by Jews and guided by their anti-White, anti-Christian attitudes. We have state surveillance because the state regards us as enemies, obstacles to the glorious multi-racial and Islamified future they are preparing for us. The official justification for this surveillance is breathtaking in its chutzpah: we’re told that they need to spy on us to keep us “safe” from terrorism and from “extremists” who “seek to divide us.”

Create real diseases, then offer fake cures

But the terrorism wouldn’t exist without the mass immigration imposed on us by our hostile elites. And what could be more “divisive” than mass immigration from primitive, alien cultures? Well, one thing could be: mass immigration accompanied by massive, state-sponsored anti-racist propaganda blaming Whites for all non-White failure. And that’s precisely what we’ve got: mass immigration accompanied by massive anti-White propaganda. The hostile elite creates the diseases to which it offers the supposed cures.

Of course, while the diseases are real, the cures are fake. They’re intended to strengthen the hostile elite and weaken the White majority, not to combat the diseases. One cure the hostile elite are desperate to introduce in America is strict gun-control. So far, I’m glad to say, the hostile elite have failed. Too many White Americans agree with William S. Burroughs (1914-97), who said: “I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.” Burroughs also said something that is very relevant to the surveillance state: “Most of the trouble in the world has been caused by ten to twenty percent of folks who can’t mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus.”

“It’s fun to spy on people”

Western politics and media are full of people who can’t mind their own business. But I wouldn’t agree that their interference in other people’s lives is as mindless as that of a smallpox virus. If you read Edward Snowden’s revelations, you’ll discover that many employees of the National Security Agency (NSA) positively enjoyed the chance to invade the privacy of strangers. As Isaac Asimov noted: if you give people the chance to spy, they will take it. But how much does the impulse to spy and control differ between the races? I’m White and I’d like to think that lots of other Whites would be as horrified as I was by this image proudly displayed by the Chinese government in 2018:

China is proud of its surveillance technology (image from Foreign Policy)

That image accompanies a 2019 article on artificial intelligence (AI), which describes the image like this: “A screen shows visitors being filmed by AI security cameras with facial recognition technology at the 14th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing on Oct. 24, 2018.” There is a very old tradition of central control and state authoritarianism in China, and the willingness of the Chinese both to adopt and to accept surveillance may have genetic roots.

Israel pioneers privatized spying

Europe has had a much more centrifugal and individualistic history, but one genetically distinct group in Europe hasn’t shared in this history. As Kevin MacDonald has described, Jews also have a long tradition of authoritarianism, often based on charismatic rabbis and their adoring disciples. But those Jews who questioned Judaism were in serious danger. For example, in the seventeenth century, Dutch Jews excommunicated and would probably have murdered the heretic Baruch Spinoza (1632-77) had he not been able to live among more tolerant and individualistic Dutch gentiles (see Andrew Joyce’s discussion of Spinoza at TOO). In the twenty-first century Jews are outliers in surveillance just as they are in child-abuse and fraud. The NSA in America is much more famous than Unit 8200, its equivalent in Israel, but graduates of Unit 8200 are pioneering what the New York Times calls “privatized spying”:

Jewish porn-mogul-alikes and surveillance mavens Omri Lavie (left) and Shalev Hulio (image from Haaretz)

The man in charge of Saudi Arabia’s ruthless campaign to stifle dissent went searching for ways to spy on people he saw as threats to the kingdom. He knew where to go: a secretive Israeli company offering technology developed by former intelligence operatives.

It was late 2017 and Saud al-Qahtani — then a top adviser to Saudi Arabia’s powerful crown prince — was tracking Saudi dissidents around the world, part of his extensive surveillance efforts that ultimately led to the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In messages exchanged with employees from the company, NSO Group, Mr. al-Qahtani spoke of grand plans to use its surveillance tools throughout the Middle East and Europe, like Turkey and Qatar or France and Britain. …

Before NSO helped the Saudi government track its adversaries outside the kingdom, and helped the Mexican government hunt drug kingpins, and earned hundreds of millions of dollars working for dozens of countries on six continents, the company consisted of two high school friends in northern Israel with one relatively mundane idea.

Using technology developed by graduates of Intelligence Unit 8200 — Israel’s equivalent of the N.S.A. [National Security Agency] — Shalev Hulio and Omri Lavie started a company in 2008 that allowed cellphone firms to gain remote access to their customers’ devices to perform maintenance.

Word spread to Western spy services, whose operatives spotted an opportunity. At the time, American and European officials were warning that Apple, Facebook, Google and other tech giants were developing technologies that allowed criminals and terrorists to communicate through encrypted channels indecipherable to intelligence and law enforcement agencies. They called the phenomenon “going dark.”

Mr. Hulio and Mr. Lavie offered a way to circumvent this problem by hacking the end points of the communications — the phones themselves — after the data were decrypted. … (A New Age of Warfare: How Internet Mercenaries Do Battle for Authoritarian Governments, The New York Times, 21st March 2019)

I dislike the New York Times as much as I dislike the Guardian, but let’s give credit where it’s due: those two newspapers have worked hard to expose and criticize the surveillance state. That article in the Times is another good example. To judge by that photo, Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, the Israeli founders of the totalitarian-friendly NSO Group, could easily be a pair of porn moguls. They look sleazy and amoral, and I think that’s exactly what they are (among other things). The same psychology that enables Jews to flourish in pornography is now enabling Jews to flourish in “privatized spying.”

Unit 8200 Is Watching You

But that privatized spying is built on official spying, of course. As the Times notes, Lavie and Hulio are both “graduates of Intelligence Unit 8200.” And Unit 8200 should be much more widely known than it is. For one thing, if you’re a reader of the Occidental Observer, it’s highly likely that Unit 8200 or some similar Israeli agency knows you and has tracked your internet activity. But maybe Unit 8200 wasn’t the first to catch you in the act of crime-think. It might have been the NSA in America or GCHQ in Britain or their many equivalents in Germany, France and so on. One of George Orwell’s prophecies in Nineteen Eighty-Four has come true: Big Brother watches us night and day, endlessly hungry for information it can use against us.

At present, thought-criminals aren’t dragged off for torture and mind-cleansing in the cellars of the Ministry of Love, but be in no doubt: there are lots of people who would like that to happen. In fact, I’d say that Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio would be happy to run a full Big-Brother service, from sniffing out crime-thinkers to arresting them and torturing them into conformity. Live streaming of torture sessions could be very lucrative. Orwell missed the idea of commercialized tyranny in Nineteen Eighty-Four, but he got the essentials of the modern surveillance state uncannily accurate. He warned us very clearly and we didn’t listen.

Afterword: I completed this article in 2019. I can’t remember why it didn’t get published back then at the Occidental Observer, but now that it has been, I find that its themes of Semitic surveillance and commercialized tyranny have been fully vindicated. See this discussion at Unz of the “Palantir AI Police State Control Grid” by one of the Andrew Anglin Collective. Also see Janko Vukic’s “Profiling Palantir,” which Vukic describes as “the tech firm beloved by the WEF and founded by Peter Thiel and Zionist zealot, Alex Karp — that is watching every last move you make.” And see Bruce Charlton’s comment on why Tolkien’s names – Palantir is one of them – are being used by Clown World for technology that serves evil ends.
