Tyre Nichols: Another Black Encounter with Police Gone Wrong

February 1, 2023/89 Comments/in Featured Articles/by RockaBoatus

I watched the recent body camera footage in which five Black Memphis police officers had brutally beaten a Black driver by the name of Tyre Nichols. He is alleged to have been driving recklessly, even though Memphis Police Chief, Cerelyn Davis, said she could not confirm that reckless driving played a role in the incident.

When approached by officers and removed from his car, Nichols resisted by not laying down fully on his stomach. He persisted in turning and raising his torso to question the officers and to verbally protest what was happening to him. Officers continued to order Nichols to get on the ground, but were unable to hold him down as he repeatedly turned and raised his torso. One officer attempted to use his Taser but was unsuccessful in doing so. Nichols quickly got up and fled on foot with officers pursuing him. Once they caught up to him about a half-mile away, they proceeded to punch, slap, kick, pepper spray, and even baton him, apparently thinking that he was still resisting arrest. Why five burly officers could not subdue Nichols without having to cave his head in is beyond me!

After handcuffing Nichols, he was sat down and propped up against one of the patrol cars. Although paramedics were called to the scene, none of the officers rendered any immediate medical aid to him. Nichols was transported to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition. On January 10, 2023, Tyre Nichols died as a result of the officer’s use of force. An autopsy report later revealed that Nichols had “suffered excessive bleeding caused by a severe beating.”

The five Memphis officers involved in the incident were fired from their department, charged with Nichols’ murder, and surrendered to law enforcement. Additional charges include aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct, and official oppression in addition to second-degree murder. The former officers posted bail and were released from the Shelby County Jail. They now await trial.

It’s important to note at the outset that I do not in any way condone the actions of these officers. Departmental polices regarding reasonable uses of force appear clearly to have been violated. My own training and experience as a police officer (now retired) persuades me that the entire incident should have been handled much differently and with greater restraint and professionalism.

Yet with that said, here is another occasion in which a Black male adult refuses to follow simple orders. How many times does one have to be told to lay on their stomach? Instead, Tyre Nichols continued to turn himself over to tell the cops that he’s just trying to go home as well as other verbal protests. All the while positioning himself so that he’s not completely on his stomach as ordered.

When I was a cop, I saw this kind of thing many times, especially by Black males. They stiffen up, contort their bodies in order to make it harder to search and handcuff them — all the while asking the same questions over and over again (“What I do?” and “Why you arresting me?”) even though you’ve already explained everything in detail and multiple times at that!

Blacks do this as a diversion tactic, and to guilt the officer as well as to delay him. They also do it in order to gain sympathy from the gullible passerby. Although Nichols stated, “I give up” and “stop being so aggressive,” it was nothing more than fake verbal compliance to drop the cops’ guard and thereby take advantage when things loosen up a bit. Nichols tried to make himself appear as the calm one, even though he continued to resist the officers and not comply with their orders. What you’re seeing on the officer’s body cameras, then, is the typical drama that Blacks create whenever they are held accountable for their conduct.

Thus, the same scenario seems to regularly unfold when cops have to deal with Blacks: (1) There’s a crime or reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred involving a Black male; (2) Black male is stopped for investigation by the police; (3) Black male refuses to either identity himself or refuses to be pat-searched even though there is legal justification for doing so; (4) Black male either violently resists or moderately resists by means of verbal protests, repeated questions that have already been answered, and in creating as much public chaos as possible in order to deter officers from doing their job.

Whites who may have never had such encounters with the police, and who are inclined to believe in the innocence of all Black people everywhere, cannot relate to such realities. They have no personal history nor protracted contact with Blacks other than a few they saw in college or at their jobs. And so, they are in no position to judge such incidents impartially. Yet once you’ve had enough encounters with the general incivility and hostility of the average American Black male, you start to understand why so many cops have tragic and deadly outcomes with the Blacks they encounter.

Nichols was stopped because he was allegedly driving recklessly. Some persons have denied it, but I’m inclined to think that there’s a lot more to this story than that the cops simply decided to stop this poor innocent Black driver and beat the snot out of him. Notice that the police car in front of Nichol’s car has him blocked in. This makes sense if he was driving recklessly since they would not want to risk another chance of him driving on a public roadway.

Also, the officers quickly approached the driver’s side door with their duty weapons drawn. This tells me that it’s not a normal traffic stop! Something occurred prior to the traffic stop which prodded the officers to approach Nichols in that way. The truth of what led to this encounter will eventually come out.

Something missed in all of this is why so many Blacks seem unable to comply with the most basic rules of society. At every turn, they refuse to hold themselves accountable for their actions. Even though incarceration rates among Blacks in America are at skyrocketing levels, Blacks collectively refuse to blame themselves for any of it. They’re all “innocent” and framed by “whitey.” It’s always someone else’s fault, never their own. Whether it’s “systemic racism,” the “legacy of slavery,” or “white privilege,” few Blacks will look in the mirror and concede that their woes and tribulations are the direct result of their attitudes and actions.

So long as our government and its complicit media persists in coddling Blacks and in feeding them lies that only serve to bolster today’s racial grievance industry, more of these incidents will continue to occur. One would think that Blacks themselves would tire of all the lies and excuses given for their many failures, but this would require deep introspection, self-awareness, and honesty which I believe comparably few Blacks in America possess.

It’s good that the officers involved in this altercation were all Black. Perhaps it will cause some to realize that huge numbers of Blacks do not resist the police because they are White, but because they are in rebellion to all forms of authority. Perhaps repeated instances of the smash-and-grab robberies and shooting sprees that Blacks commit and which we constantly witness on the news and social media will cause Whites to see that Blacks are not a good fit for societies such as ours which require civility and compliance to basic rules of order and decency?

In order to combat “police brutality,” many big city police departments will create even stricter policies that will guarantee more incidents such as what happened to Nichols. Preventing and penalizing officers from targeting the criminal element in their communities — which most often is comprised of young Black males — and lowering police hiring standards, will ensure that Black criminality and instances of police abuses will continue indefinitely. Hamstringing officers in the name of “racial justice” sounds good in theory, but in the end, it will only serve to demoralize good and proactive officers as well as employ individuals who otherwise would have never qualified as police officers.

Race hustlers will, of course, view the Tyre Nichols incident through the prism of “white supremacy” no matter what. They are unwilling or unable to see it any other way, particularly when there may be opportunities to profit from it. Anything negative that happens to Blacks, after all, is always rooted in “white supremacy” somehow.

A recent article in The Davis Vanguard proves this very point:

A system rooted in white supremacy”—according to the Greater Sacramento NAACP—make Black law enforcement “just as likely” as white officers to kill Black men, as they are accused of doing in Memphis earlier this month when former Sacramento resident Tyre Nichols died after five Black officers allegedly beat him after a traffic stop. …

The Greater Sacramento branch of the NAACP Friday said, “We weep with the community here and in Memphis as we add the name Tyre Nichols, another local Black man killed by a system rooted in white supremacy.”

The Sacramento NAACP charged, in a statement, it “[c]ondemns institutional racism in law enforcement—Black law enforcement officers are just as likely to kill Black men as white officers because of assimilation to white supremacy roots.” …

The NAACP argues, “When anyone joins that system, regardless of the race of the officer, they are indoctrinated to the traditions and practices of that system to maintain the status quo regardless of the person’s intent. That’s the nature of white supremacy culture—it lives in systems unless we actively change the structure and cultures of those systems,” said GSNAACP President Betty Williams. (“White Supremacy Rooted in Killing for Former Sacramentan Tyre Nichols, Charges Sacramento NAACP,” January 8, 2023).

Did you catch that? Even when Blacks beat and murder other Blacks, it’s not really their fault. They’re just doing it because they’ve been so badly influenced by their “white supremacy roots.”

While the former Memphis officers will likely be convicted of excessive force under color of authority and serve time in prison, I doubt any of it will prove that Tyre Nichols was completely innocent in drawing the attention of officers in the first place. The media, as expected, will make him out to be a full member of today’s holy Trinity of Black martyrs: Rodney King, George Floyd, and now Tyre Nichols.

A First Effort at Nationalist Young Adult Fiction

January 30, 2023/36 Comments/in Featured Articles/by F. Roger Devlin, Ph.D.

The No College Club
Spencer J. Quinn
The White People’s Press, 2023

There is probably no other area in which nationalists are as far behind their opponents as in cultural influence, or what Kevin MacDonald has called the “shaping of ways of seeing.” Both the books our young people read in school and the entertainment they consume in their leisure hours is filled with messaging hostile to us, something its producers are fully conscious of and take great pride in. Much of our effort in this domain necessarily takes the form of reacting against such cultural products: protecting young people from such material where this is still possible, supplementing it with fuller information, or reinterpreting it in accordance with our own views and interests (as with Trevor Lynch’s writings on cinema). But eventually our people shall have to take up “content creation” ourselves.

Spencer J. Quinn, a regular contributor to Counter-Currents, The Occidental Observer, and The Occidental Quarterly, is rising to this challenge. He has already produced an adult novel, Charity’s Blade, and a children’s book entitled My Mirror Tells a Story. His new book under review here is apparently the first-ever effort at nationalist Young Adult fiction, meaning fiction primarily aimed at those in the 12–18 age group. While I would certainly like to see adolescents reading the book, it might be even more important at this stage for nationalists in general to take a look at it as an example of the sort of thing that needs to be done.

Spencer Quinn Interviewed by Pox Populi. Topics include No College Club, Dissident Literature, Race, History, and Slavery

Plot Summary

The novel centers around Caroline Adams, an eleventh-grade student at a rapidly diversifying high school. When we meet her, she is part of a group of four girls that her mother jokingly calls “the clique,” dominated by a loud, socially aggressive Black girl named Medina.

As the novel begins, Caroline is trying to get to class through a gauntlet of leering Black boys, which she eventually manages with the aid of a likeable boy named Brock. He explains to her that he is acting as her “beard”—slang for a fake boyfriend useful for keeping troublemakers at a distance. She then slips into her American History class.

The teacher, Dr. Nogimbe, is a militant Black woman whose lessons focus heavily on slavery. She announces a new group project to be carried out by groups of four students. The topics students can choose from are the slave trade, the Underground Railroad, and plantation life.

Today’s lesson is about the Clotilda, said to be the last ship to bring slaves to the United States. As the teacher sermonizes them, the Black students become angry and some of the White girls cry or hide their faces.

Cudjo Lewis was one of the last survivors of the Clotilda,” Dr. Nogimbe continued. “We have a record of his life from the late 1920s. He was born in 1841 in a town called Banté in West Africa, in what’s now the country of Benin. His people were peaceful, civilized, and agricultural. And for the sin of being a black African, he was snatched from his home, bound head and foot, and taken onboard the Clotilda. And then they set sail for a life of slavery and misery in the United States, where all men and women are supposedly created equal.

A scruffy-looking White boy named Derek asks about the life expectancy in Africa. Cudjo Lewis lived to 95 in America, he points out, whereas the life expectancy in today’s Benin is only 61 (and was probably lower in Lewis’s own day). So in some ways, Blacks did better under slavery in the US than in their native Africa. Furthermore, Lewis was enslaved by fellow Blacks, not by Whites. Derek knows this because, unlike most of his classmates, he has actually read the assigned book.

Dr. Nogimbe does not respond well to his remarks: he is sent to the principal’s office amid hoots of “racist” and “Nazi.” But Caroline knows Derek is correct about Blacks selling other Blacks as slaves, because she too has actually read the assignment. Having lunch with “the clique” that day, she makes this point, but the response from the Black girl Malik is no more gracious than Dr. Nogimbe’s had been in class: she gets up and demonstratively walks away from the now “racist” Caroline, followed meekly by the others. This draws the attention of the entire lunchroom, and Caroline is soon fighting back tears.

Rather than sit alone, Caroline seeks refuge with a nerdy, bookish girl named Rose whom she had previously looked down upon, but who seemed to have been enjoying the spectacle of Derek’s defiance in class earlier. Rose turns out to have read the assigned text as well, so she knew the point that had now got both Derek and now Caroline into trouble was perfectly true. Caroline is grateful for the moral support.

Soon Brock, Caroline’s “beard” from earlier, sits down with them and asks Caroline to tell him what had happened with Derek in class, which has by now led to swirling, school-wide rumors. Brock had seen the aftermath: Derek nearly got expelled for “educational disruption” when he refused to apologize to the teacher for telling the truth about what was stated in the book.

[The Principal] told him straight: One more screwup and he’s out.”

Caroline fell back in her chair, shocked. “Then he’s not going to college.”

“He won’t be able to get a job anywhere,” Rose added. “Not a real one.”

“He’ll be called a Nazi or white supremacist, and that will be that,” Brock said. “It’ll be on his record. Military won’t take him. Law enforcement, forget about it. It will be really hard for him.”

“That’s so unfair.”

Caroline shook her head. “It’s evil.”

“And it could happen to any of us as well,” Brock said.

Caroline notices that Brock seems to be ignoring Rose. When she points this out, his response is to pick up an apple from Rose’s tray and take a large bite out of it. He also calls her the “goofball queen.” Later, when they are alone, an outraged Caroline asks Brock why he dislikes Rose so much. Brock explains that he likes Rose and that his rude behavior is “game”—a strategic use of reverse psychology designed to intrigue her.

Caroline is surprised that Derek has “put his future at risk for something as abstract as the truth,” and wonders if this bears some relation to what her grandparents called “honor.” Wanting to speak to Derek later that day, but not knowing what to say, she blurts out “Would you like to be part of our group for Dr. Nogimbe’s project?” Derek accepts, and says he already has an idea for the project: “It’s such an awesome idea, it’ll get us all kicked out of school!”

Riding home on the schoolbus that afternoon, Caroline discovers that most of her social media “friends” have suddenly dropped her—a major crisis for a teenage girl sensitive about her popularity. She understood instantly that Medina was behind it.

She then checked her messages. As expected, people were heaping the most vile abuse on her. She was a racist, a redneck, a Nazi, a White supremacist. There was no end to it. And it was almost all vulgar and profane. Would colleges find out? What about employers?

Derek sits down next to her to sell her on his project idea that will get them all kicked out of school: to look for accounts by American slave owners—to get their perspective on the South’s peculiar institution. Caroline tells him this is “the stupidest idea I have ever heard,” and that Brock and Rose agree with her. Doesn’t Derek want to graduate and go on to college? To her surprise, this argument does not seem decisive to Derek. When she persists in rejecting his idea for their project, he gets angry and tell her: “You’re just like all the others. I hope you and

all your snooty friends graduate college and marry millionaires.” Caroline reflects on the unfairness of Derek’s anger at her. Her defense of what he had said in class was the cause of her new pariah status, after all.

Caroline’s mother Joan is a conventional liberal whom Caroline knows will not be pleased to learn her daughter had defended a “racist” at school. But something even worse happens: Joan’s Black supervisor has gotten wind of Medina’s version of events, viz., that Caroline had been “defending racism and slavery,” and is now trying to get her fired. This could create serious financial problems for the entire family. Without asking Caroline for her side of the story, she demands that Caroline apologize to all and sundry for her “racism.”

Caroline counters that her mother should instead fight the injustice looming over her.

“They have no right to do this to you! You didn’t do anything wrong! If they fire you, find a lawyer and sue.”

“I can’t afford that, Caroline! I work for a big company. They have lawyers on staff.”

“Then we need some kind of organization that also has lawyers on staff.”

“What are you talking about?”

“A group of professionals, activists. I don’t know! An organization that can fight for people like us.”

“People like who?”

Caroline considered her response before responding. “white people,” she whispered.

Caroline soon recalls that her mother’s Black supervisor’s son once committed armed robbery—with no adverse effect on that woman’s employment.

Caroline has barely gained the upper hand in her confrontation with her mother when Derek, Brock and Rose unexpectedly show up at the door. Derek announces: “My uncle owns a house near where he lives that was a real plantation! With slaves and everything. He said we can explore. Take video. He’s got tons of information about it.” With some misgivings, Joan gives Caroline permission to join her new friends in gathering material for their class project.

Two hours later, the four drive up to the home of Derek’s Uncle Zack, a local history buff and tour guide. Zack explains:

The house we will visit today we think was constructed in the 1760s near a place called Kelly’s Ford. I bought it and the surrounding forty acres from the state of Virginia a few months ago. Ain’t much of it left, but what we do know is that its owner, Ernest Shackleford, operated a 120-acre farm and owned about a dozen slaves up until the Revolutionary War. Accordin’ to court records and at least one eyewitness account, he didn’t treat ‘em well.

Arriving at the site, which is little more than a ruin, Uncle Zack mentions that many of the slaves were “indentured servants.” Brock and Derek, knowing that indentured servants were White, fear they have come “all this way for nothing.”

Derek blinked twice. “Uncle Zack, I told you this project is about slavery. I emailed you the assignment our teacher gave us.”

Zack took another puff. “I read it. All it talked about was slavery. Didn’t say nuthin’ ‘bout Black or White.”

Zack explains that indentured servants were slaves. While their terms of service were theoretically limited, many were driven so hard they did not live to see the end, and others had their service legally or illegally extended beyond their contract of indenture. Derek and Brock continue to object that indentured servitude cannot compare with Black slavery.

“Son, it did,” Zack said patiently. “Hundreds of thousands of White indentured servants died in bondage durin’ the colonial period. Hundreds of thousands of White men, women, and children were abducted and sent to America as slaves. Many were convicts, yes. But many were also homeless or political dissidents or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And because white slaves were so cheap to acquire, black slaves in many places were worth more.”

Being worth more, owners had an incentive to treat them better, whereas with White indentured servants the incentive was to get the maximum possible work out of them for as long as they could be kept in bondage.

The four friends gradually reconsider their ideas about colonial history, but foresee that this new information is not likely to go over well with Dr. Nogimbe.

Zack mentions that a few years previously, archaeologists had found the skeletal remains of a seventeen-year-old boy on the property:

They dated the remains to the 1770s and noted the herniated discs in the spine, a once-broken collar bone, and other injuries which indicated many years of hard labor. The back of his skull had been severely damaged, implying a violent death, perhaps even a homicide. The archaeologists assumed this boy had been a Black slave, but were shocked when tests revealed that he was Northern European, most likely English.

Indeed, all but one of the slaves on the Shackleford plantation appear to have been White.

While investigating a part of the property Zack had warned her to avoid as too dangerous, Caroline comes across a mysterious old manuscript. The title reads: “The Memoir of an Unfortunate Young Man, Abducted on the Docks of Brighton, and Forced to Live as a White Slave for 5 Years in the Virginia Colony Until His Providential Escape and Redemption.” This turns out to have been the work of the seventeen-year-old buried on the property: one of the White slaves/indentured servants Zack had been telling them about.

Five chapters of The No College Club consist of excerpts from this eighteenth-century memoir. It becomes the principal basis of the group’s school presentation, which triggers first a riot, then the expulsion of all four of them. Their families sue on the grounds of racial discrimination and improper expulsion, but the school district has deep pockets and does all it can to drag out the process.

As the book’s title implies, however, Caroline, Rose, Brock and Derek end up being forced by necessity to learn that it is possible to lead successful and happy lives without going into crippling debt to subject themselves to four years of racial abuse.

Conclusion

In general, The No College Club is a good first effort. The criticism I felt most often tempted to make while reading it is that it attempts to pack as much nationalist messaging as possible into a fairly short space (I left a fair amount out of this summary). Ideally, I would like to see our people producing material that would be read for its own sake by the general public, in which the message could be assimilated gradually and almost unconsciously amid the more universal themes of school, family, friendship, first love, etc., that is the typical focus of fiction for readers in this age group—in other words, the way our enemies do it. But this is an important example of the kind of thing we need to be doing.

Follow the money: Jewish Power at Harvard’s Kennedy School

January 28, 2023/20 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Kevin MacDonald

Michael Massing has written an excellent article—a primer on Jewish power in America. The background is that Kenneth Roth, who ran Human Rights Watch (HRW) for nearly 30 years appeared to be on his way to becoming a Senior Fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School, until the dean, Douglas Elmendorf, turned him down. The problem according to Elmendorf:  Roth (who is Jewish) allegedly has “anti-Israel bias” because HRW had correctly claimed that Israel was engaging in apartheid vis-á-vis the Palestinians.

The immediate response from the usual suspects was to claim that any such designation would lead to “anti-Semitism”—another example of the now common conflation of anti-Semitism with criticism of Israel, such as noted by Peter Beinart in the NYTimes. Beinart noted that “America’s most prominent Jewish organizations have done something extraordinary. They [the American Jewish Committee, the ADL, and others] have accused the world’s leading human rights organizations of promoting hatred of Jews.”
Of course, the HRW’s charges are true, although truth is irrelevant in these issues. Specially
the report sought to demonstrate that the Israeli authorities had met the legal definition of the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution (the severe deprivation of fundamental rights on racial, ethnic, or other grounds) by pursuing policies in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that “methodically privilege Jewish Israelis and discriminate against Palestinians.” Those policies included facilitating the transfer of Jewish Israelis to the Occupied Territories and granting them rights superior to those of Palestinians living there; the widespread confiscation of privately held land in much of the West Bank; and the building of the separation barrier “in a way that accommodated anticipated growth of settlements”—all dispelling the notion “that Israeli authorities consider the occupation temporary.”
My only complaint is why it took so long to recognize the obvious. And the oppression is just going to get worse under the current government.
As usual, the key to Jewish influence is to follow the money. Here it begins with the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs whose main donors include Leslie Wexner (of Jeffrey Epstein fame) who has donated more than $40 million to the Kennedy School and has a building named after him. Wexner established the Wexner Israel Fellowship which brings “Israeli officials and civic leaders to Cambridge for a year of mid-career study … . Among the 10 fellows who come annually are ministry officials, local government representatives, policy analysts, and directors of nonprofits, as well as members of the Mossad, the Israel Defense Forces, and the Shin Bet security service.”

Another prominent donor is Robert Belfer, who has donated more than $20 million to the Kennedy School, as well as donating to the ADL and the American Jewish Committee—both of which defended Israel against attacks by human rights groups (Beinart). “In a 2006 interview with the US Holocaust Museum, Belfer observed that most of his extended family (including his paternal grandparents) perished in World War II—a loss that gave him “a sense of identity” of “being Jewish, of being very supportive of Israel.” Ironically, Belfer funds the professorship of Stephen Walt whose book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy was highly critical of the Lobby.

Belfer’s influence at the Kennedy School extends far beyond his center. He and his son Laurence sit on the Dean’s Executive Board—“a small group of business and philanthropic leaders who serve as trusted advisors to the Dean and are among the most committed financial supporters of the School,” according to its site. The board’s chair, David Rubenstein, is the cofounder and former CEO of the Carlyle Group, the private equity giant, and one of the most well-connected members of the US financial and cultural elite; among the many prestigious boards on which he sits is the Harvard Corporation, the university’s main governing body.

The 16 members of the Dean’s Executive Board also include Idan Ofer and his wife, Batia. Idan is the son of Sammy Ofer, an Israeli shipping magnate who until his death in 2011 was one of Israel’s richest men. Worth about $10 billion, Idan has come under fire in Israel for moving to London to reduce his tax bill and for a lavish lifestyle highlighted by the €5 million party that he threw on the island of Mykonos for his 10th wedding anniversary. …

In 2018, the Kennedy School opened a renovated campus, made possible by a capital campaign that raised more than $700 million. Anchoring it were three buildings bearing the names Ofer, Rubenstein, and Wexner. 

All three buildings named after Israeli patriots. But that couldn’t possibly influence whether Roth would get the fellowship.

At least that’s the view of the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt. It’s a conspiracy theory!! “Harvard’s critics should do better than concoct anti-Jewish conspiracies.” It’s a case study in how antisemitic tropes can infect even a journalist of author Michael Massing’s standing.” Greenblatt:

the article further devolves into Jewish-macher name-dropping: Leslie Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Belfer, David Rubenstein, and notes their supposed close ties to the big Jewish organizations. It’s a textbook case of classic antisemitism: It’s not the leadership of the Kennedy School that made this decision, oh no. It’s the powerful and monied Jewish elite that really influences things behind the scenes.

In short, the article plays into the classic antisemitic trope of Jewish power and control – without providing any evidence that any of these Jewish donors or groups played any role in influencing the decision to derail Ken Roth’s fellowship.

Yeah, just because the most prominent donors to the school are Jewish and tied not only to Jewish organizations but also to Israel, why should that matter? Jews would neve donate their money in a quid-pro-quo arrangement.

Greenblatt is correct that the dean didn’t come out and say, “look we have to look after our donors, and that means we have to reject Roth.”  But in what universe would that ever happen? Deniability is the watchword of the day, whether it’s Hunter Biden’s laptop, the Clinton Foundation,  or big pharma.

But amazingly, Elmendorf relented.

I am grateful to the many people, including scholars and students, who expressed outrage over @Harvard @Kennedy_School Dean Douglas Elmendorf's veto of a fellowship for me due to my criticism of Israel. He clearly would not have reversed course without it. https://t.co/zKJrZXaQIP

— Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) January 20, 2023

It would be nice to know exactly what happened to cause the reversal. It never looks good for a university supposedly dedicated to free inquiry to rescind an appointment when there are obvious suspicions it was because powerful people don’t like it. And the reversal has to be seen as a barometer of the fact that the pro-Israel lobby is finally starting to lose the public relations battle, especially on the left.

Of course, this reappointment won’t really change anything in Israel or in U.S.-Israel relations, any more than Mearsheimer and Walt’s book did. The big money will still be distributed by AIPAC to influence elections, the media will  generally be pro-Israel, and the Republicans, likely looking for moral cover in a pervasive atmosphere of wokism, will continue to support all things Israel. Still, the dam is breaking.

A Reconquista: germanos contra berberes

January 26, 2023/in Translations: Portuguese/by Kevin MacDonald

By José António Primo de Rivera

Na prisão de Alicante, três meses antes de ser assassinado, José António escreve um dos textos literariamente mais belos e historicamente mais profundos sobre a base etnocultural da Espanha. Intitula-se “Germanos contra berberes” e parece ter sido escrito ainda ontem. Confira:

O que foi a Reconquista? Um conceito superficial da História tende a considerar a Espanha como uma espécie de cenário ou passarela permanente por onde desfilam invasores que nos são apresentados no pressuposto de que devamos emprestar a nossa solidariedade ao elemento aborígine. Dominação fenícia, cartaginesa, romana, goda, africana… Desde a nossa infância temos presenciado mentalmente todas essas conquistas como sujeitos pacientes; isto é, enquanto membros do povo invadido. Nenhum de nós, em sua infância romanesca, deixou de se sentir como o sucessor de Viriato, de Sertório, dos numantinos [sorianos]. O invasor era sempre nosso inimigo; o invadido, sempre nosso compatriota.

Considerado tudo, depois, e com mais vagar, já no despontar da maturidade, caíamos num estado de perplexidade: afinal — perguntávamos — a nossa cultura e, mais do que isso, o nosso sangue, as nossas entranhas têm mais em comum com o celtibero aborígine do que com o romano civilizado? Ou seja, não teríamos o perfeito direito, ainda que por foro de sangue, de ver a terra espanhola com olhos de invasor romano, de considerar com orgulho esta terra não como remoto berço de nossos antepassados, mas como solo incorporado pelos nossos a uma nova forma de cultura e de existência? Quem pode dizer que haja mais sangue nosso, mais valores de nossa cultura no interior das muralhas de Numância do que nos acampamentos dos sitiadores?

Talvez possamos, aqueles de nós que procedemos de famílias que viram nascer muitas de suas gerações na América hispânica, compreender melhor tudo isso. Nossos antepassados transatlânticos sentiram-se americanos, assim como se sentem americanos os nossos atuais parentes de lá, da mesma forma como nós nos sentimos espanhóis; eles sabem, porém, que sua qualidade de americanos lhes é dada por sua condição de descendentes daqueles que deram à América a sua forma presente. Sentem a América como entranhadamente sua, porque seus antepassados a ganharam. Aqueles antepassados procediam de outro solar, que já é, para esses seus descendentes, mais ou menos estrangeiro. Em contrapartida, a terra onde vivem atualmente, séculos atrás estrangeira, é agora sua, incorporada como foi, e de forma definitiva, por alguns remotos avós, ao destino vital de sua estirpe.

Esses dois pontos de vista baseiam-se nas duas maneiras de entender a pátria: pela razão da terra ou pela razão do destino. Para alguns, a pátria é o assento físico do berço; toda tradição é uma tradição espacial, geográfica. Para outros, a pátria é a tradição física de um destino; a tradição, assim entendida, é predominantemente temporal, histórica.

Depois dessa prévia delimitação de conceitos, cabe voltar à questão inicial: o que foi a Reconquista? Já se sabe: de um ponto de vista infantil, tratou-se da lenta retomada da terra espanhola pelos espanhóis na luta contra os mouros que a haviam invadido. Mas a coisa não foi bem assim. Em primeiro lugar, os mouros (é mais exato chamá-los de “mouros” do que de “árabes”; a maior parte dos invasores procedia do Norte da África, eram berberes; os árabes, raça muito superior, formavam somente a minoria dirigente) ocuparam a quase totalidade da península em pouco tempo, mas o suficiente para a tomada da posse material, sem luta. Desde Guadalete (ano 711) até Covadonga (718), a História não fala de nenhuma batalha entre os forasteiros e os indígenas. Até o reino de Teodomiro, na Múrcia, resultou de mancomunagem com os mouros. Toda a imensa Espanha foi ocupada em paz. A Espanha e, naturalmente, os espanhóis que a habitavam. Aqueles que retrocederam para as Astúrias eram os remanescentes dos dignitários e militares godos; ou seja, eram os que, três séculos antes, haviam sido, por sua vez, considerados os invasores. O grosso da população indígena (celtibérica, semítica em grande parte, norte-africana por afinidade, toda essa massa mais ou menos romanizada) era tão alheia aos godos como aos agarenos recém-chegados. E mais: sentia muito mais razões de simpatia étnica e consuetudinária com os vizinhos do outro lado do estreito do que com os loiros danubianos aparecidos três séculos antes. É provável que a população espanhola se sentisse mais à vontade governada pelos mouros do que dominada pelos germanos. Isso no começo da Reconquista; no final, nem é preciso falar. Depois de 600, de 700, de quase (em algumas regiões) 800 anos de convivência, a fusão de sangue e costumes entre os aborígenes e os berberes era indestrutível; a interpenetração entre indígenas e godos, ao contrário, entorpecida durante 200 anos pelo dualismo jurídico e, no fundo, recusada sempre pela sensibilidade racial dos germânicos, não deixou nunca de ser superficial.

A Reconquista não é, pois, uma empresa popular espanhola contra uma invasão estrangeira; é, na realidade, uma nova conquista germânica; uma pugna multissecular pelo poder militar e político entre a minoria semítica de uma grande raça — os árabes — e a minoria ariana de outra grande raça — os godos. Nessa pugna tomam parte os berberes e os aborígines, às vezes como componentes da tropa e, às vezes, como súditos resignados de um ou outro dos dominadores, talvez com marcada preferência, ao menos em grande parte do território, pelos sarracenos.

A Reconquista foi uma guerra entre partidos e não uma guerra de independência, tanto que ninguém nunca chamou de “os espanhóis” os que combatiam contra os agarenos, mas sim de “os cristãos”, por oposição a “os mouros”. A Reconquista foi uma disputa bélica pelo poder político e militar entre dois povos dominadores, polarizada em torno de uma pugna religiosa.

Do lado cristão, os chefes proeminentes são todos de sangue godo. Pelágio foi carregado sobre um pavês em Covadonga como o continuador da Monarquia sepultada às margens do Guadalete. Os capitães dos primeiros núcleos cristãos têm o ar inequívoco de príncipes de sangue e mentalidade germânicos. Mais: sentem-se ligados desde o princípio à grande comunidade católico-germânica europeia. Quando Afonso o Sábio aspira ao trono imperial, não adota nenhuma atitude extravagante: pleiteia, com a alegação da maturidade política de seu reino, o que se alentava desde séculos antes na consciência de príncipe cristogermânico de cada chefe dos Estados reconquistadores. A Reconquista é empresa europeia — ou seja, germânica, naquele contexto. Muitas vezes, acorrem para guerrear contra os mouros senhores livres da França e da Alemanha. Os reinos que se formam têm uma base germânica inegável. Talvez não haja na Europa Estados mais fortemente marcados com o selo europeu da germanidade do que o condado de Barcelona e o reino de Leão.

♦

Em síntese — abstração feita dos aportes e influências recíprocas de todos os elementos étnicos na interação de oitocentos anos — a Monarquia triunfante dos Reis Católicos é a restauração da Monarquia gótico-espanhola, católico-europeia, destronada no século VIII. A mentalidade popular de então dificilmente distinguia entre a nação e o rei. Além disso, consideráveis extensões da Espanha, particularmente as Astúrias, Leão e o Norte de Castela, haviam sido germanizadas, quase sem solução de continuidade, durante mil anos (desde princípios do século V até fim do século XV, sem outra interrupção que a dos anos entre Guadalete e a recuperação das terras do Norte pelos chefes godo-cristãos) e ainda sua afinidade étnica com o Norte da África era muito menor do que a das gentes do Sul e do Levante. A unidade nacional sob os Reis Católicos é, pois, a edificação do Estado unitário espanhol de sentido europeu, católico, germânico, de toda a Reconquista. E a culminação da obra de germanização social e econômica da Espanha, o que não deve ser esquecido, porque talvez aí a constante berbere terá encontrado a oportunidade de sua primeira rebelião.

Com efeito, o tipo de dominação árabe era predominantemente político e militar. Os árabes tinham fraco sentido de territorialidade. Não se adonavam das terras, num sentido jurídico privado. Assim, pois, a população camponesa das comarcas mais largamente dominadas pelos árabes (a Andaluzia, o Levante) permanecia numa situação de livre gozo da terra, na forma da pequena propriedade e, eventualmente, de propriedades coletivas. O andaluz aborígine, semiberbere, e a população berbere que formou mais copiosamente nas fileiras árabes gozavam de uma paz elemental e livre, inepta para grandes empresas de cultura, mas deliciosa para um povo indolente, imaginativo e melancólico como o andaluz. Os cristãos, germânicos, ao contrário, traziam no sangue o sentido feudal da propriedade. Quando conquistavam as terras, estabeleciam nelas senhorios, não puramente político-militares como os dos árabes, mas patrimoniais ao mesmo tempo que políticos. O camponês passava, no melhor dos casos, a ser vassalo; tempos depois, quando pela atenuação do aspecto jurisdicional, político, os senhorios tiveram fortalecido o seu caráter patrimonial, os vassalos, completamente desarraigados, caem na condição terrível de jornaleiros.

A organização germânica, de tipo aristocrático, hierárquico, era, na sua base, muito mais dura. Para justificar tal dureza, se comprometia a realizar alguma grande tarefa histórica. Era, na realidade, a dominação política e econômica sobre um povo quase primitivo. Toda aquela enorme armadura: a Monarquia, a Igreja, a aristocracia, podia intentar a justificação de seus pesados privilégios a título de cumpridora de grande destino na História. E isso foi tentado por duplo caminho: a conquista da América e a Contrarreforma.

♦

É um tópico (posto em circulação pela literatura berbérica de que se falará mais tarde) o dizer que a conquista de América é obra da espontaneidade popular espanhola, realizada quase a despeito da Espanha oficial. Não se pode levar essa tese a sério. Muitas das expedições foram organizadas, certamente, como empresa privada; mas o sentido da cristianização e colonização da América está contido no monumento das Leis das Índias, obra que encerra um pensamento constante do Estado espanhol ao longo de vicissitudes seculares. E a conquista da América é também uma tese católico-germânica. Tem um sentido de universalidade sem a menor raiz celtibérica e berbérica. Só Roma e a Cristandade germânica puderam transmitir à Espanha a vocação expansiva, católica, da conquista da América. O que se chama de o espírito aventureiro espanhol será mesmo espanhol no sentido de aborígine ou berbere, ou será uma das marcas do sangue germânico? Não deve ser desprezado o dado de que, ainda em nossos dias, as regiões de onde sai o maior número de emigrantes, ou seja, de aventureiros, são as do Norte, as mais germanizadas, as mais europeias, as que, de um ponto de vista castiço e pitoresco, podem ser chamadas de as menos espanholas. Em contrapartida, é abundantíssimo o número de andaluzes e levantinos que se transplantam a Marrocos, a Orã, à Argélia e que ali vivem tão à vontade como se estivessem em sua casa, como cepa que reconhece a terra distante de onde partiram os seus ancestrais. Esta derivação meridional e levantina para a África não guarda a menor semelhança com as expedições colonizadoras para a América. Aliás, África e América têm sido, desde há muito, as palavras de ordem de dois partidos políticos e literários espanhóis. De dois partidos que coincidem exatamente em quase todos os momentos com o liberal e o conservador; o popular e o aristocrático; o berbere e o germânico. Era coisa quase obrigatória que um escritor antiaristocrático, antieclesiástico, antimonárquico incorporasse no seu repertório frases como “Teria sido melhor se a Monarquia espanhola, em vez de esgotar a Espanha na empresa da América, tivesse buscado nossa área de expansão natural, que é a África”.

Ao lado da conquista da América, a Espanha germânica (duplamente germânica, agora, sob a dinastia dos Ausburgos) trava na Europa o combate católico pela unidade. Trava esse combate e, em longo prazo, perde. E, por causa disso, perde a América. A legitimação moral e histórica da dominação sobre a América estava na ideia da unidade religiosa do mundo. O catolicismo era a justificação do poder da Espanha. O catolicismo, porém, havia perdido a disputa. Vencido o catolicismo, a Espanha restava sem título no qual embasar o império do Ocidente. Sua credencial havia caducado. O astuto Richelieu percebeu isso e, para derrubar a casa da Áustria, não hesitou em ajudar os paladinos da Reforma. Sabia muito bem que a pedra angular dos Ausburgos era a unidade católica da Cristandade.

E assim, batida no embate, primeiro na Europa, depois na América, que tarefa de valor universal alegaria a Espanha dominadora — Monarquia, Igreja, aristocracia — para conservar sua situação de privilégio? Na falta de justificação histórica, na demissão de toda função diretiva, suas vantagens econômicas e políticas restavam como puro abuso. Acresce que, na privação de empregos, as classes dirigentes haviam perdido o brio, até para a sua própria defesa. Pode ser observada uma série de fenômenos muito semelhantes na decadência da monarquia visigótica. E a força latente, nunca acabada, do povo berbere submetido, inicia abertamente a sua vingança.

♦

Porque, mesmo nas horas zenitais da dominação, a “constante berbere” não havia nunca deixado de existir e de operar. Os povos superpostos, dominador e dominado, germânico e aborígine berbere, não se haviam mesclado. Nem sequer se entendiam. O povo dominador mantinha-se alerta contra a mestização com o dominado (até 1756, não se derroga a pragmática de Isabel a Católica que exigia prova de pureza de sangue, isto é, a condição de cristão velho, sem mescla de judeu ou mouro, mesmo que para o exercício de modestíssimas funções de autoridade). O povo dominado, entrementes, seguia detestando o dominador. Numa postura bem típica em relação aos dominadores, adota uma aparência de irônica submissão. Na Andaluzia, chega-se aos mais exagerados extremos da adulação; debaixo, porém, dessa adulação aparente se esconde o mais desdenhoso escárnio para com o adulado. Esta atitude de burla é a mais docemente resignada que adota o povo despossuído. Mais acima, já aparece o ódio e, sobretudo, a afirmação permanente da separação. Na Espanha, a expressão “o povo” conserva sempre um tom particularista e hostil. O “povo hebreu” compreendia, naturalmente, os profetas. O “povo inglês” inclui os lordes; pareceria fora de propósito a um inglês comum que pela denominação popular de inglês não fosse ele incluído na categoria dos maiores governantes do país! Aqui não: quando se diz “o povo” é para significar o indiferenciado, o inqualificável; o que não é aristocracia, nem igreja, nem milícia, nem hierarquia de nenhuma espécie. O próprio D. Manuel Azaña disse: “Não creio nos intelectuais, nem nos militares, nem nos políticos; não acredito senão no povo”. Mas, então, os intelectuais, os militares, os políticos, assim como os eclesiásticos e os aristocratas, não formam parte do povo? Na Espanha, não, porque há dois povos e, quando se fala de “o povo”, sem especificar, se faz referência àquele subjugado, àquele subtraído à sua sempre saudosa existência primitiva, indiferenciada, anti-hierárquica e ele, por isso mesmo, detesta rancorosamente toda hierarquia, característica do povo dominador.

Tal dualidade penetrou todas as manifestações da vida espanhola, as de aparência menos popular, inclusive. Por exemplo, o fenômeno europeu da Reforma teve na Espanha uma versão reduzida, mas totalmente impregnada da pugna entre germânicos e berberes, entre dominadores e dominados. Na Espanha, não se deu nenhum caso de um príncipe herege, como na França ou na Alemanha. Os grandes senhores se mantiveram aferrados à sua religião de casta. Todo herege, pequeno-burguês ou letrado, era como um vingador dos oprimidos. Na sua dissidência alentava, mais do que um tema teológico, uma incurável animadversão contra o aparato oficial, formidável: monarquia, Igreja, aristocracia…

E assim até datas mais recentes. A orientação berbérica, sempre mais aparente, conforme vê declinar a força contrária, assoma em toda a intelectualidade de esquerda, de Larra até aqui. Nem a fidelidade a modas estrangeiras logra ocultar um tom de ressentimento de derrotados em toda a produção literária espanhola dos últimos cem anos. Em qualquer escritor de esquerda há um gosto mórbido, tão persistente e tão molesto que não se pode alimentar senão de uma animosidade pessoal, de casta humilhada. A Monarquia, a Igreja, a aristocracia, a milícia deixam nervosos os intelectuais de esquerda, de uma esquerda que começa bastante à direita para esses efeitos. Não é que submetam essas instituições à crítica; é que, na presença delas, eles são acometidos de um desassossego ancestral, como a aflição que acomete os ciganos quando alguém dá o nome da bicha. No fundo, os dois efeitos são manifestações do mesmo velho chamamento do sangue berberesco. O que odeiam, sem o saber, não é o fracasso das instituições que denigrem, mas seu remoto triunfo; seu triunfo sobre eles, sobre os que as odeiam.  São os berberes derrotados que não perdoam os vitoriosos — católicos, germânicos — por terem sido os portadores da mensagem da Europa.

 

O ressentimento esterilizou toda possibilidade de cultura na Espanha. As classes diretoras não deram nada à cultura, o que não costuma ser sua missão específica em nenhuma parte. As classes subalternas, para produzir algo considerável do ponto de vista da cultura, teriam que ter aceito o quadro de valores europeu, germânico, que é o vigente; e isso lhes causava uma repugnância infinita por ser, no fundo, aquele dos dominadores.

Assim, grosso modo, pode-se dizer que a contribuição da Espanha à cultura moderna é igual a zero. Salvo algum ingente esforço individual, desligado de toda escola, e algum pequeno cenáculo inevitavelmente envolto num halo de estrangeirice.

♦

Depois das escaramuças, teria de chegar a batalha. E chegou: é a República de 1931; será, sobretudo, a República de 1936. Estas datas, principalmente a segunda, representam a demolição de todo o aparato monárquico, religioso, aristocrático e militar que ainda afirmava, mesmo em ruínas, a europeidade da Espanha. A máquina estava inoperante, logicamente; mas o grave é que sua destruição representa a vingança da Reconquista, ou seja, a nova invasão berbere. Estaremos de volta ao indiferenciado. Provavelmente se ganhará em placidez elemental nas condições populares de vida. Talvez o campino andaluz, infinitamente triste e nostálgico, recomece o silencioso colóquio com a terra de que foi desapossado. Quase a metade da Espanha sentir-se-á contemplada da melhor forma possível se isso acontecer. Ter-se-á conseguido operar perfeito ajuste na ordem natural. O mal é que, então, haverá um povo único, o dominador e o dominado num só elemento, povo sem a mínima aptidão para a cultura universal. Tiveram-na os árabes; mas os árabes eram pequena casta diretora, já mil vezes diluída no fundo humano sobrevivente. A massa, que é a que vai triunfar agora, não é árabe, mas berbere. Aqueles suplantados serão os germanos que ainda nos ligavam com a Europa.

Talvez a Espanha se parta em pedaços, ao longo de linhas que estabeleçam, dentro da península Ibérica, os verdadeiros limites da África. Toda a Espanha acabe africanizada, talvez. Mas o certo é que, por muito tempo, a Espanha deixará de contar na Europa. E então, aqueles que pela solidariedade de cultura e ainda pela misteriosa voz do sangue nos sentimos ligados ao destino europeu, poderemos demudar o nosso patriotismo de estirpe, que ama esta terra porque nossos antepassados a ganharam e enformaram, num patriotismo telúrico, que ame esta terra por ser esta terra, mesmo que na sua larga ela tenha emudecido até o último eco do nosso destino familiar?

Strength through Oy-Veh!: How Jews Dementedly Pursue Power by Dishonestly Playing the Victim

January 25, 2023/64 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Tobias Langdon

Nazis believed in “Strength through Joy.” Jews believe in “Strength through Oy-Veh!” They deceive and manipulate White gentiles by complaining and pretending to be victims (“oy veh!” is a traditional Jewish cry of dismay or lament). You can see this principle at work in a “national billboard campaign” being run by one of Britain’s many powerful Jewish organizations:

Strength through Oy-Veh: Dishonest Billboard by the Campaign Against AntiSemitism #1

Campaign Against Antisemitism has launched Britain’s first-ever national billboard campaign seeking the public’s support against antisemitism after the most recent Home Office figures showed that Jews are 500% more likely to suffer hate crime than any other faith group per capita.

The striking digital billboards can be seen right across the country, including in prominent locations in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and other major cities.

The billboards also challenge preconceptions and prejudices about what it means to ‘look Jewish’ with the models reflecting the diverse backgrounds of Britain’s Jewish community.

All of the Jewish models who appear on the billboards might be targeted for any of the protected characteristics that they possess — or may appear to possess — but what all the models share is that they, like all British Jews, are on average 500% more likely to be the target of a hate crime because they are Jewish, compared to any other faith group.

You can stand with the Jewish community by using the #StandWithJews hashtag on social media. Members of the Jewish community can highlight their own experiences of antisemitism using the #BecauseImJewish hashtag. (#BecauseImJewish, Campaign Against Antisemitism, 10th January 2023)

Strength through Oy-Veh: Dishonest Billboard by the Campaign Against AntiSemitism #2

Strength through Oy-Veh: Dishonest Billboard by the Campaign Against AntiSemitism #3

“Oy veh! We poor, helpless, harmless Jews are under attack again! Please help us, goyim!” That’s the message of the billboard campaign. But it isn’t an honest message. After all, it’s being put out by Jews, who have not become the world’s richest and most powerful group by dedicating themselves to Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Let’s look at the claim that Jews are “500% more likely to be the target of a hate crime.” First of all, it’s perfectly normal that minorities are at relatively greater risk of experiencing a “hate crime.” If all groups commit such crimes against each other at the same rate (they don’t), there will obviously be more hate-criminals in the majority committing more crimes against minorities (in fact, it’s the other way round, as we shall see below).

Less is More

A minority can suffer “worse” even if it is much more likely to be the perpetrator of a hate-crime against the majority than the victim of a hate-crime by the majority. Suppose, for example, that there was a country with 1,000,000 White inhabitants and 1,000 Black inhabitants. If 1% of the Whites were non-violent hate-criminals and 100% of the Blacks were violent hate-criminals, there would be 10,000 Whites committing non-violent hate-crimes against Blacks and 1,000 Blacks committing violent hate-crimes against Whites. Suppose that each Black hate-criminal murdered one White every year, while each White hate-criminal sent a postcard to a random Black saying “BLACKS ARE MUCH MORE VIOLENT THAN WHITES” (by leftist standards, this factual statement would count as a “hate-crime” just as much as the murder of a White).

Now look at the statistics and the relative risk. In the vast majority of years, all 1,000 Blacks would receive one or more post-cards and suffer “hate-crime,” while 1,000 Whites would be murdered. Therefore 100% of Blacks would suffer hate-crime but only 0.1% of Whites would (1,000 / 1,000,000 = 0.001 = 0.1%). Blacks would be one thousand times more likely to suffer hate-crime than Whites. So an anti-racist organization in that hypothetical country would be perfectly accurate, but highly dishonest, if it put up billboards reading “Why am I a thousand times more likely to suffer hate-crime? #BecauseImBlack #StandWithBlacks.”

Who cares about Whites or Christians?

That’s a reductio ad absurdum, but the same kind of statistical chicanery is at work in the claim that “Jews are 500% more likely to suffer hate crime.” And that’s assuming that Jews really are more likely to suffer hate-crime than, say, Christians. I have my doubts. Do you think the traitorous and anti-White Church of England is accurately recording “hate-crimes” by Muslims against its members and property? No, the Church of England is far more likely to conceal the truth and continue to grovel before Islam. Unlike Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) and the Community Security Trust (CST), as run by Jews, there are no well-funded and well-connected organizations to record and publicize hate-crimes against Christians, let alone against Whites. But the following story from the BBC, long-forgotten by leftists, is proof that the group suffering most from “hate” in modern Britain is not the sanctified Jewish minority, but the heavily demonized White majority:

Until the mid-nineties, the government’s British Crime Survey only asked ethnic minority groups whether they had been the victim of a crime which was racially motivated. Since then, all victims are asked and the picture has changed dramatically. The most recent analysis shows that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities (BME) said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. In the same period, 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim. Focusing on violent racial attacks, 49,000 BME were victims. Among whites, the number was 77,000. Of those that involved wounding 4,000 were BME. Among the white population it was 20,000. (“Racism and Race Crime Redefined,” BBC News, 8th November 2006)

If non-White minorities were committing more “racially motivated crime” — that is, hate-crime — against Whites, and in particular more violence, then those non-Whites must have been hugely more prone to hate-crime than Whites. And even prone to hate-crimes of violence. That anti-White hate and violence will only have gotten worse since 2006, because the non-White share of the population has increased dramatically thanks to traitors like Tony Blair and goyophobes like Blair’s Jewish immigration minister Barbara Roche.

Jews wail about a self-inflicted problem

But does the very serious problem of non-White violence against Whites receive any attention in the mainstream media or raise any concern in mainstream politics? Not in the slightest. It’s minorities like the poor Jews who receive all the attention and sympathy in the mainstream. Which brings me to a very interesting and important question. Who precisely is committing so much “hate-crime” against the poor beleaguered Jews of Britain? That question goes entirely unexamined by Jewish organizations like Campaign Against Antisemitism and the Community Security Trust, because the answer is entirely unsuitable for their strategy of “Strength through Oy-Veh!” Jews are trying to manipulate and induce guilt in the White majority with their claims of victimhood, but it isn’t the White majority who are committing most hate-crimes against Jews. It is, in fact, the racial and religious minorities imported by Jews into Britain and warmly welcomed by Jews as “natural allies” against the alleged bigotry and violence of Whites. In other words, Jews are wailing about a problem they have created for themselves.

Dark Secret: The most active anti-Semites in Britain and America are non-White

Take the two biggest stories about anti-Semitism to agitate the Jewish Chronicle in the past couple of years. In May 2021 a “Convoy for Palestine” drove through “heavily Jewish areas” of London broadcasting insults and threats against Jews, including a call to “Fuck their mothers, rape their daughters.” As you might guess, the convoy wasn’t run by White Christians. No, it was run by Pakistani Muslims from the heavily enriched northern town of Blackburn, where the rape of daughters on racial grounds has often been reality rather than rhetoric. But the daughters are White rather than Jewish, so the Jewish Chronicle is not concerned in the slightest. Muslim misbehavior only counts when it is directed at Jews, and even then, Jews try to maximize the “misbehavior” and minimize the “Muslim.” Jews followed that maxi-min strategy again in November 2021, when “four men kicked, punched and spat at a Chabad tour bus” full of Jews who had been celebrating Chanukah on London’s world-famous Oxford Street. The four men also shouted “Free Palestine,” made “obscene gestures,” and banged on the windows of the bus “with their shoes.”

Anti-Jewish hate-criminals in the heart of London

This hate-criminal tried to murder a Jew in London. Please contact the Campaign Against Antisemitism if you recognize him

Striking people or property with a shoe is a well-recognized sign of contempt and disrespect in the Arab world. And guess what? Images of the hate-criminals showed that they were dark-skinned and of fully vibrant appearance. But there was no discussion of their appearance and their undoubted Muslim identity in the Jewish Chronicle or any other mainstream Jewish venue. Jews were shouting “Oy veh!” and playing the victim once again, but they didn’t want any discussion of precisely who was victimizing them. This is because the Jewish principle of “Strength through Oy-Veh!” runs in parallel with the Jewish principle of “Jews and Muslims are natural allies.” Jewish campaigning and political control have played a necessary, though not sufficient, part in mass migration by Muslims into the West. And Jews campaigned for non-White immigration with malice aforethought. An anti-White Iranian based in Germany has recently described how Einer seiner israelischen Freunde habe ihm einmal gesagt: „Die Araber sind die Rache der Juden an den Deutschen“ — “One of his Israeli friends once told him: ‘The Arabs are the Jews’ revenge on the Germans.”’

The central role of Jews

But Jews have sought the same “revenge” against American and British Whites, who fought against “the Germans” in World War Two. Here are some headlines describing how Jews in America and Britain welcome non-Whites and non-Christians as “natural allies” against the White and historically Christian majority:

  • British Jews and Muslims are natural allies, Dr Richard Stone, The Independent, 15th August 2001
  • Jews and Muslims are natural allies against religious discrimination, Daisy Khan and Rabbi Burton Visotzky, The Hill, 24th August 2017
  • Former CST boss will help Muslim group battle Islamophobia, The Jewish Chronicle, 10th April 2014
  • Muslims and Jews face a common threat from white supremacists. We must fight it together, Jonathan Freedland and Mehdi Hasan, The Guardian, 3rd April 2019
  • Both Feeling Threatened, American Muslims and Jews Join Hands, Laurie Goodstein, The New York Times, 5th December 2015
  • Jewish women ‘stand shoulder to shoulder’ with Muslim women over Islamophobic abuse, The Jewish Chronicle, 19th April 2018
  • Jewish and Muslim women pledge to work together to combat hate, The Jewish Chronicle, 24th April 2018
  • Jews and Muslims should unite in fight against racism, The Jewish Chronicle, 28th March 2018
  • Board president Marie van der Zyl pledges to be ‘committed ally’ of Muslims at interfaith Iftar, The Jewish Chronicle, 13th July 2018
  • Our Jewish community must do more to support Muslims attacked by Islamophobes, The Jewish Chronicle, 8th August 2018
  • Jews and Muslims ramp up alliances in wake of Trump’s election, The Jewish Standard, 15th November 2016
  • This young Jewish woman and a young Muslim woman teach schoolkids about racism, The Jewish Chronicle, 7th February 2019

Despite such headlines, there are still far too many deluded Whites who refuse to recognize the central role of Jews in mass migration by Muslims and other non-Whites. Headlines like those simply “bounce off their consciousness,” as Orwell put it in his excellent study of self-deluding ideologues. My late father, for example, deeply admired Jews and deeply despised Muslims. He refused to accept that admirable Jews could have had any role in the mass migration of despicable Muslims. “Muslims are enemies of Jews,” he always insisted to me. “And Jews would never be so stupid as to import their enemies into the West.” Well, if my father were still alive, I would no doubt still be emailing him stories like the following, which clearly explains why Jews support and facilitate Muslim immigration:

The most specific threat as a group we Jewish people face in America is the omnipresent threat we Jews will always face, the threat of Christian nationalism, including forms of Christianity that are deeply and sophisticatedly based on Christian teachings. It’s Christian nationalism that maintains that Jews must play a subordinate role in the workplace and elsewhere to Christians. These forms of Christianity have for countless centuries been our most dedicated ideological enemy.

If my father were still alive, I think he would have read that story and then once again insisted that “Muslims are enemies of Jews. And Jews would never be so stupid as to import their enemies into the West.” But just maybe that story would finally have convinced him of the truth: that Jews have imported Muslims and other non-Whites as footsoldiers in their war against the White Christian West. Maybe he would even have begun to accept that Jews are not the highly intellectual and admirable creatures of his fond imaginings. After all, there’s little intellect in the claim that “Christian nationalism” is an “omnipresent threat” to Jews. Yes, Christian nationalism is at work in Russia, which is why Jews have engineered the war in Ukraine and are now happy to risk nuclear war in pursuit of their Christophobia. But Christian nationalism isn’t at work in Russia’s allies of communist China, Muslim Iran, and Hindu India.

Hysterical with Hate

The Jew who wrote that article in the Guardian used hyperbolic phrases like “omnipresent threat” and “countless centuries” because he was hysterical with hatred of Christianity and Whites. And there you can see yet another dishonesty in the Jewish principle of “Strength through Oy-Veh!” Even as they insist that they are the powerless victims of hate, Jews themselves are motivated by hate. And they have enormous power to translate that hate into action. Just ask the White “daughters” of Rotherham and many other towns and cities across the West.

Muslim rape-gangs are in the West because Jewish rhetoric has brainwashed Whites into accepting their own destruction. As the old Polish proverb so wisely says: “The Jew cries out in pain as he kicks you.” But Jews are overplaying their hand, as they have done so often in history. Their recent Krushing of Kanye has shown to the world once again that they are tyrants, not victims. That’s why I think that “Strength through Oy-Veh!” will soon have had its day.

Jewish Control of US Presidents #1: Woodrow Wilson

January 23, 2023/34 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Karl Haemers

As many now note, and as certain Jewish organizations have themselves boasted, the current Biden administration is stocked with Jews at the highest levels. Significant numbers of the most powerful cabinet positions are filled by Jews, as well as various department leadership positions, the White House Chief of Staff, and throughout the administrative structure.

Here we will not attempt to assert whether this means the current President Biden is himself controlled by Jews. We will look back in history to present evidence that a select sampling of US Presidents had fallen under the control of certain Jewish individuals and groups. This will prove significant, since these Presidential administrations enacted some of the policies that led to ruinous wars that changed the fate of humanity and brought on immense national debt, devastating poverty, and unemployment for US workers, slavish support for the Jewish ethnostate of Israel to the deep detriment of the US, and large increases in profits and power for Jews.

Woodrow Wilson (1913–1921)

Our first examination will consider Woodrow Wilson, who served two terms from the crucial year of 1913, through the period of US entry into World War I, the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, and a post-war period until 1921. In his first term, Wilson signed the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Acts on December 23, 1913. In his second term, Wilson approved US entry into World War I, causing the defeat of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey in alliance with Ireland and other nations, at a time when Germany and Britain were considering peace terms and the end of the war. Through the Treaty of Versailles and the Paris Agreements, which Wilson attended along with his Jewish advisors, this led ultimately to World War II and thus to the fulfillment of the Balfour Declaration, culminating in the disastrous establishment of the new Jewish nation of Israel in the midst of Arab, Muslim and some Christian lands. The horrors of these developments begun during the Wilson administration still afflict the US and the world today.

Jewish Blackmail of the President

Wilson’s trajectory to the Presidency involved the intervention of wealthy powerful Jews. He had recently resigned as President of Princeton University when he ran for governor of New Jersey in 1910. Soon a scandal emerged when it was claimed that Wilson was having an intimate affair with the wife of one of the Princeton professors. Wilson himself was of course married, and if the scandal reached the newspapers—the press was almost the only form of media at the time—then Wilson would have faced joblessness and the prospect of withdrawing from the Governor’s race.

Benjamin Freedman was a young Jew at the time who acted as liaison between the Senate Finance Committee led by a Jew, Henry Morgenthau Sr. and the Secretary of the Treasury Rollo Wells. Freedman later renounced his Jewish identity and spent most of his life speaking out against the cabal of Jewish bankers he once worked among. In 1974 Freedman gave a speech to Marine cadets. Some of his statements regarding Wilson and Jewish bankers follow:

So, we had a President in Washington, Mr. Taft. Mr. Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the bankers in New York who are the arm in the United States of the Rothschild International worldwide plutocracy—Mr. Schiff, with two young men, went down to see Mr. Taft. … Jacob Schiff came back to New York (He was at that time head of The American Jewish Committee)… They ganged up in New York, to get rid of Taft [likely because Taft opposed abrogating a trade agreement with Russia promoted by the American Jewish community  and aimed at benefiting Russian Jews; here, p. 195]. I was a protégé of Mr. Bernard Baruch… So the stage was set to get rid of the Republican Party and the Republican President and put in their own party and their own President. But it was very difficult… Mr. Baruch was picked out as the leg man. He was a smart man! … Mr. Jacob Schiff and the Jews (use that word as I told you, with reservations) put up the money to launch this Party, and they looked around for a man to put up as President. … they got Woodrow Wilson… They trotted Theodore Roosevelt out of the political “moth-balls” (He was then an editor of a magazine). They told him, “You are the indispensable man. You are the only man who can save the United States.” And with his ego they formed the “Bull Moose Party” and Mr. Jacob H. Schiff and the Jews throughout the world—they got plenty of money from England—they formed the Bull Moose Party. And in that way they split the Republican vote between Roosevelt and Taft, and Mr. Wilson walked in with a minority of the popular vote. …

You find in politics, every time they pick a candidate, and put him out in front, they have the goods on him. You know he had been sleeping with the wife of the professor who lived next door to him at Princeton, whose name was Peck. And they used to call Wilson, at Princeton, “Peck’s bad boy.” When she got a divorce and moved to Washington, she married a man who had a son. And that son borrowed $40,000 from the bank, without asking them. He didn’t know how to pay it back, and the pressure on him was getting very, very hot. So this woman heard of Samuel Untermeyer (of the big firm, Googenheim, Untermeyer and Marshall) a prominent Democrat; and supplied much money to the party. She went to him with a big package of letters… So, they cooked this up and she got the idea of blackmailing him (Wilson). She got Samuel Untermeyer to go to see him, as a lawyer. He was a big contributor to the Party and he knew Wilson, and he went there. To make a long story short, Wilson didn’t have the money; Untermeyer provided it, and the boy paid the money back.

Now, Mr. Untermeyer told President Wilson, “I’ll advance that money if you will do one favor for me. The next opening on the Supreme Court, I want to name the man.” He said, “We’ve never had a Jew on the Supreme Court. I think there ought to be a Jew on the Supreme Court.” So Wilson said, “It’s a deal!” and they paid the $40,000. When a vacancy appeared on the Supreme Court, Mr. Untermeyer recommended Mr. Brandeis. Mr. Brandeis was the number one Zionist in the United States; the head of them all, and he became very friendly with Wilson.

We will return to Freedman’s transcript regarding the US entry into World War I. We must first clarify and corroborate this account of Wilson’s apparent blackmail by Jewish bankers, especially Samuel Untermeyer as contact with Wilson.

Wilson was exchanging what appear to be love letters with Mary Hulbert Peck for eight years starting during his presidency of Princeton in 1907, spanning his brief term as governor of New Jersey, and part of his first term as U.S. President until 1915. For seven of those years, Wilson was married to Ellen Axton Wilson, who died in August 1914. To summarize the impact of this scandal when it spread through the newspapers during this time: “But for a presidential candidate to have acknowledged any serious intentions toward her, a divorcee and already a cause of gossip, would have been, by post-Victorian standards, social and political suicide.” Untermeyer would know to exploit this blackmail on Wilson when he approached the President on Mary Hulbert’s behalf (She had divorced her husband Peck as early as 1912). The $40,000 that Untermeyer requested from Wilson in 1910 is worth $1.25 million today. Untermeyer paid it to Mary on Wilson’s behalf, owning Wilson thereafter.

Louis Brandeis: First Jew on the Supreme Court

Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court on January 28, 1916. So controversial was this nomination that the confirmation process endured an unprecedented four months, and included the first public hearing the Senate Judiciary Committee ever held. Conservative Republicans especially opposed Brandeis’ nomination, and were of course denounced as “anti-Semitic.”  Many years later Brandeis’ replacement on the Supreme Court, William Douglas, writing in the New York Times, said of him, “He was dangerous because he was incorruptible,” and “a militant crusader for social justice.”

When the Senate committee conducting the confirmation hearing requested letters of endorsement from Attorney General Thomas Watt Gregory, who announced that none were available, Wilson stepped in to give his own endorsement. Wilson wrote of Brandeis: “I knew him to be singularly qualified by learning, by gifts, and by character for the position.” Wilson further gushed:

…he is exceptionally qualified. I cannot speak too highly of his impartial, impersonal, orderly, and constructive mind, his rare analytical powers, his deep human sympathy, his profound acquaintance with the historical roots of our institutions and insight into their spirit, or of the many evidences he has given of being imbued to the very heart with our American ideals of justice and equality of opportunity; of his knowledge of modern economic conditions and of the way they bear upon the masses of the people, or of his genius in getting persons to unite in common and harmonious action and look with frank and kindly eyes into each other’s minds, who had before been heated antagonists. This friend of justice and of men will ornament the high court of which we are all justly proud. I am glad to have had the opportunity to pay him this tribute of admiration and of confidence…

The eventual approval of Brandeis’ nomination fulfilled Wilson’s promise to his creditor Untermeyer to place a Jew on the Supreme Court.

Brandeis was a strong supporter of Wilson during his first campaign and provided the candidate with economic talking points such as “regulated competition.” After the election, Wilson told Brandeis, “You were yourself a great part of the victory.” “Brandeis also served as Wilson’s chief economic adviser from 1912 until 1916.” This “friend of justice and of men” went on to be “instrumental in shaping the new Federal Reserve Act.” We will see what an immense disaster the Fed has been to the American people, and what a siphon of wealth and power to Jewish bankers. In all Brandeis served on the Supreme Court for twenty-three years, pushing the “progressive” agenda and even helped design the U.S. position on the creation of the new nation of Czechoslovakia, which became a grave threat to Germany and almost became the first flash point for World War II.

On top of all else, Brandeis was an avid supporter of the early Zionist movement in the US. He was elected President of The Provisional Executive Committee for Zionist Affairs in New York, and advocated for a “Jewish homeland” in his book The Jewish Problem: How to Solve It. The book contains the transcript of a speech Brandeis gave to a group of Reform Rabbis in 1915, and states the essence of his Zionist views:

The Zionists seek to establish this home in Palestine because they are convinced that the undying longing of Jews for Palestine is a fact of deepest significance; that it is a manifestation in the struggle for existence by an ancient people which has established its right to live, a people whose three thousand years of civilization has produced a faith, culture and individuality which enable it to contribute largely in the future, as it has in the past, to the advance of civilization; and that it is not a right merely but a duty of the Jewish nationality to survive and develop. They believe that only in Palestine can Jewish life be fully protected from the forces of disintegration; that there alone can the Jewish spirit reach its full and natural development; and that by securing for those Jews who wish to settle there the opportunity to do so, not only those Jews, but all other Jews will be benefited, and that the long perplexing Jewish Problem will, at last, find solution.

How well Brandeis’s vision has contributed “to the advance of civilization” and the “full and natural development” of “the Jewish spirit,” much less to the idea that “all other Jews will be benefited” and even “”the long perplexing Jewish Problem will… find solution” can be known by examining this account by If Americans Knew, “A Synopsis of the Israel/Palestine Conflict.” In short, the Zionist state has been a disaster for the Middle East region, the United States, in some sense the world, and even the majority of the Jewish people in Israel and elsewhere. It has inflicted the greatest disaster upon the Palestinian people, something Brandeis takes not into account. The only use of the word “Palestinian” in his work is:

In the Jewish colonies of Palestine there are no Jewish criminals; because everyone, old and young alike, is led to feel the glory of his race and his obligation to carry forward its ideals. The new Palestinian Jewry produces instead of criminals, great scientists… discoverer(s)… craftsmen… founder(s)…

Unfortunately for Brandeis’ vision, Israel is especially known as a den of thieves and crooks. This examination, “Israel, A Refuge for Swindlers” provides the evidence.

Rabbi Stephen Wise, Influencer

This essay would not be complete—and indeed cannot be complete short of an entire book—on the Jewish control over President Wilson, without at least a brief mention of Rabbi Stephen Wise. The Holocaust Encyclopedia entry for Wise states it reasonably well:

Unlike most Reform rabbis and congregants at the time, Wise became a Zionist, committed to the establishment of a Jewish state. He attributed this to his first encounter with Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, at the second Zionist Congress in 1898. During that meeting Wise was elected to the Zionist General Action Committee. In 1914, he served as deputy to Louis Brandeis when Brandeis became head of the American Zionist movement. Both men were instrumental in obtaining President Woodrow Wilson’s support for the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which committed Great Britain to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. Wise founded the American Jewish Congress in 1920, became president of the Zionist Organization of America in 1936, and continued to play a key role in the US Jewish community for the rest of his life.

Along with Brandeis, Wise was “instrumental” with Wilson in supporting the Balfour Declaration, which not only obligated Great Britain in giving Palestine to Zionist Jews, but tacitly also committed Zionist Jews in America to manipulating the “isolationist” U.S. population into enthusiastically joining the Great War against Germany. A central role in this mass brain-washing in favor of Jewish war objectives was the Jew Edward Bernays.

The Federal Reserve Central Bank Courtesy of Jewish Bankers

As we have seen, Brandeis was an advocate for the creation of the Federal Reserve private central bank which Wilson signed into law on December 23, 1913. It may be the single most ruinous and destructive law ever signed by any U.S. President. Many other Jews were also influential in getting Wilson to establish the Federal Reserve, as we saw in the TOO essay “Obscuring the Jewish Issue In Alt Media: Example #2—Banking Dynasties.” Of them all, Paul Warburg was the premier architect of the Federal Reserve plan.

Here we will look at the iconic work of Eustace Mullins, Secrets of the Federal Reserve to identify the Jews around Wilson who imposed this immense debt-generating scam upon the people of the U.S. First, there is indication that Wilson’s acceptance of the plan helped win him the Presidency:

Senator LaFollette remarks in his memoirs that his speech against the Money Trust later cost him the Presidency of the United States, just as Woodrow Wilson’s early support of the Aldrich Plan had brought him into consideration for that office. (p 16)

Because the American public was largely opposed to this “Money Trust,” the House established the Pujo Committee aimed at investigating the  power of Wall St. bankers.

The man who single-handedly carried on these hearings [was] Samuel Untermeyer. He was one of the principal contributors to Woodrow Wilson’s Presidential campaign fund…

We’ve already seen how Untermeyer (who seems to also have been instrumental in promoting the Zionist Scofield Bible that has been influential among American Evangelicals) blackmailed a vulnerable Wilson earlier in his career.

The international banking houses of Eugene Meyer, Lazard Freres, J. & W. Seligman, Ladenburg Thalmann, Speyer Brothers, M. M. Warburg, and the Rothschild Brothers did not arouse Samuel Untermeyer’s curiosity, although it was well known in the New York financial world that all of these family banking houses either had branches or controlled subsidiary houses in Wall Street. When Jacob Schiff appeared before the Pujo Committee, Mr. Untermeyer’s adroit questioning allowed Mr. Schiff to talk for many minutes without revealing any information about the operations of the banking house of Kuhn Loeb Company, of which he was senior partner, and which Senator Robert L. Owen had identified as the representative of the European Rothschilds in the United States. (p 17)

Virtually all of these names mentioned are Jews.

Congressional testimony showed that in the firm of Kuhn Loeb Company, Felix Warburg was supporting Taft, Paul Warburg and Jacob Schiff were supporting Wilson. The result was that a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President were elected in 1912 to get the central bank legislation passed. … Col. Garrison, an agent of Brown Brothers bankers, later Brown Brothers Harriman, wrote in his book, “Paul Warburg is the man who got the Federal Reserve Act together after the Aldrich Plan aroused such nationwide resentment and opposition. The mastermind of both plans was Baron Alfred Rothschild of London.” (p 18)

(The Aldrich Plan of 1912 was named after Sen. Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island. It would have established a banking cartel but did not pass. The Glass Act of 1913 eventually created the Fed.)

Not only were all of these bankers Jews, all of them—the Warburgs, Schiff, Kuhn, Loeb and Rothschild—had intermarried in various ways and were members of the same extended family (see “Obscuring the Jewish Issue…” referenced above). It cannot be doubted that they were working collectively to get their man Wilson elected.

The “unprecedented speed” with which the Federal Reserve Act had been passed by Congress during what became known as the “Christmas massacre” had one unforeseen aspect. Woodrow Wilson was taken unawares, as he, like many others, had been assured the bill would not come up for a vote until after Christmas. Now he refused to sign it, because he objected to the provisions for the election of Class B Directors. … Bernard Baruch, a principal contributor to Wilson’s campaign fund, was stunned when he was informed that Wilson refused to sign the bill. He hurried to the White House and assured Wilson that this was a minor matter, which could be fixed up later through “administrative processes”. The important thing was to get the Federal Reserve Act signed into law at once. With this reassurance, Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913. History proved that on that day the Constitution ceased to be the governing covenant of the  American people, and our liberties were handed over to a small group of international bankers. (pp 28-9)

The “international bankers” were almost all Jews. Bernard Baruch was a Jew of immense power and influence over Wilson and much else at the time. He will re-appear in our accounts of US entry into WWI.

Jews Push Wilson and Nation Into War

We refer again to the speech by Freedman to the Marine cadets:

…when Germany was winning the war, the Jews were very happy, because they didn’t want Russia to come out the winner, with France and England, because they thought it would be tougher for the Jews in Russia. So, they were all pro-German. What happened? When the Germans trotted out the submarines… General Haig, in London, warned the English, “We have less than two week’s food supply for the whole nation of 55,000,000 people.”… So, England was offered a Peace Treaty by Germany… It was on the desk of the British War Cabinet, ready to be signed…. What happened? The Khazar Jews in New York, Washington, led by Brandeis, made this promise through Fleischman & Sockloff in London. They went to the British War Cabinet and they said, “You don’t have to make peace—which is tantamount to surrender. We can show you how you can win the war, if, when you defeat Germany, and carve up the Ottoman Empire (or Turkey) you will give us Palestine. And they made that deal. It was all written [i.e., The Balfour Declaration]. … How they got the promise of Palestine, by promising to use their influence to get U.S. into the war. That’s how they are going to turn against the United States; the same way they turned against Germany; after everything Germany did for them, since 1822. They made the deal to bring the United States into the war, which meant certain defeat for Germany; which was triumphant, then; offering a peace that was tantamount to surrender.

Now, the United States got into World War I. How did they get in? They didn’t know how to get us in, because the Germans leaned backwards. They said, “We are going to do nothing on land, on the sea, or in the air, to provoke or justify a declaration of war by the United States, because we’ll be licked! Now, we’ve won the war!” Which they had. The Russian armies were in retreat; in France, the army had revolted, and wouldn’t fight. There was no more fight left in the allies. So, what happened? They couldn’t get us in if the Germans didn’t give us provocation or justification. So, what did they do? …A message was sent to Washington, that the S.S. Sussex, a ferry from Dover to Calais, had been torpedoed in the Channel and 38 Americans lost their lives!

Congress declared war against Germany… they came out with the secret that the Sussex was not sunk and no Americans lives were lost. And we were in the war! Now that is how the Jews got us into World War I, and that started everything because Wilson was elected.

Researcher and revisionist Thomas Dalton Ph.D provides a good account. Wilson ran on a campaign slogan of “He kept us out of war.” Little more than a month into his second term, on April 2, 1917, Wilson famously and stridently called on Congress to join the war with a formal Declaration. Only a few days later, both houses of Congress voted overwhelmingly to declare war. Only a few in Congress opposed the vote. One was George Norris (R-Neb.), who later said “We are going into war upon the command of gold.” This gold was owned by the Jewish bankers on Wall Street, and they wanted more through war.

Jewish “Financier” and “Statesman” Bernard Baruch

One of the Jews Freedman was discussing was Bernard Baruch. This Jewish “financier” raked in a fortune gaming the New York Stock Exchange. By 1916 Wilson appointed Baruch to the Advisory Commission to the Council of National Defense. When the US entered World War I as we’ve seen, Wilson appointed Baruch chairman of the War Industries Board. Anthony Sutton writes:

By March 1918 President Wilson acting without Congressional authority, had endowed Baruch with more power than any other individual had been granted in the history of the United States. The War Industries Board, with Baruch as its chairman, became responsible for building all factories and for the supply of all raw material, all products, and all transportation, and all its final decisions rested with chairman Bernard Baruch. In brief, Baruch became economic dictator of the United States…

In almost 180 pages including appendices, Sutton uses the word “Jew” not once. This essay is not intended as another entry in the “Obscuring the Jewish Issue…” series, so we will turn to other sources. Jewish Virtual Library includes Baruch among its “Jewish Heroes & Heroines of America: 150 True Stories of American Jewish Heroism” series. Wikipedia of course in its “Early Life” section is unequivocal, and places Baruch’s entry among “American people of German-Jewish descent,” “Jewish American philanthropists,” and “Jewish American government officials” categories. This Jewish “hero” and “philanthropist” influenced Wilson to sign the devastating Federal Reserve Act when Wilson was reluctant, and further influenced Wilson to push the US into the ruinous World War I when the war could have ended amicably. Baruch got Wilson to appoint him to the most powerful position in the nation, Chairman of the War Industries Board, where he could funnel money to his Jewish banker and industrialist cronies.

Henry Ford’s The International Jew  (TIJ) noted

the large degree of Jewish influence on Woodrow Wilson: “They formed a solid ring around him.” Commenting on the special access to Wilson held by the Jewish journalist David Lawrence, TIJ states, “There was a time when he communicated to the country through no one but a Jew” (12/04/1920). TIJ provides examples of Jews who were involved in corruption during W.W.I, attributing the crimes to the immense power of Jewish financier Bernard Baruch who controlled the War Industries Board.

Conclusion

The size of this essay already precludes an examination of the Jews who accompanied Wilson to the Treaty of Versailles and Paris Peace Conference events following WWI. That deserves an essay all its own, since the outcome was the establishment of the League of Nations leading to the United Nations, and a set up for World War II with all its enormous devastation, leading to the creation of the nation of Israel, with its attendant world horrors. Here we must conclude from our historical sources that Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the Unites States 1913–21, was under the control of powerful Jews through blackmail, indebtedness, intimidation, bribery, egotistic appeals and ideological subversion. Wilson had significant health challenges especially during his Presidency as we saw in his letters to Mary Peck, and Jews exploited his weaknesses to use him as a pawn in their international schemes of power and money.

We will close with a quote from Wilson in his book of speeches The New Freedom published in 1913:

Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

And if they are compromised by blackmail, susceptible to bribery for money and position, weak against ideological and racial intimidation, and in debt, they had better not say it is Jewish power. For our solvency and survival against this “power somewhere,” it is better that we do speak in condemnation of it.

Thoughts Upon David Crosby’s Death

January 21, 2023/57 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Robert S. Griffin, Ph.D.

The opposite of a good thing can be counted on to also be a good thing.   That reality—as I see it, anyway—prompts me to think about the opposite of whatever I consider true and valuable to discern how it might be true and valuable.  Giving impetus to this activity is the assumption that, whether it be for a group or an individual, living well—accomplishing important things and being happy and healthy and whole—involves harmoniously integrating opposites (or apparent opposites, perhaps polarities rather than opposites is a better way of looking at them): the public and private; work and love; selfishness and altruism; kindliness and fierceness; the present, past, and future; and so on.  The January 18, 2023 death of singer, songwriter David Crosby encouraged me to offer an illustration of this value-and-integrate-opposites perspective in this writing.

David Crosby helped create two of the most popular and influential American musical groups in the 1960s and ‘70s, the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.  He continued to perform successfully with others and individually until the end of his life.  Important here, he endured the ravages of a severe drug problem, including addictions to cocaine and heroin that landed him in jail, as well as obesity and a general lack of self-care.  Crosby’s life involved a stark contradiction: while he gave an enormous gift to the world through his music, for many years he badly abused himself and paid a great personal price for it.  What first drew my attention to him, it must be a decade ago, was how, in mid-life, he managed to confront his personal demons admirably well, enough to remain productive professionally and, apparently, do well in his personal life, and, as it turned out, make it to 81.  I wrote a brief reflection on it at the time and filed it away.  I share it here.

In 2016, I authored an article from a White racial angle entitled “Blacks as Emotional Abusers of Whites: The Exploration of a Possibility.” It considered the phenomenon of abuse in the public realm, race relations.  Going along with the basic contention in this writing, if public abuse is an important concern, and I hold that it is, very likely so too is its opposite: personal abuse, self-abuse.  Thus, and staying within a racial frame of reference, the potential worth in looking into what went on with an individual White man, David Crosby—a prime example of self-abuse if there ever was one—to see what insights can be gained from it.  Motivating this activity from the perspective of this publication is the assumption that White racial well-being is advanced by concurrently attending to the state of the race as a whole and the state of the living, breathing, mortal White individuals that comprise it and noting how each affects, contributes to, the other and acting accordingly.

With that as the context, here’s what I wrote about David Crosby these many years ago.  In particular, see what you think of my take on what his example implies in the “my commentary” section at the end.

Excerpts from two hospital intake reports on David Crosby in late 1983.1

Ross General Hospital

Crosby, David

42-year-old, single, white male, rock musician.

Patient describes chills and sweats five to six times a day beginning 24 hours after admission and says he “feels bad all over.”

Describes ringing in the ears and a dull headache in the frontal and occipital areas.

He has a stomach ache with nausea.  He notes increased bowel rumbling.  He has constipation chronically.  He last bowel movement, which was hard and dry, was approximately two days ago.

He states that he periodically notices a left pain in the costovertebral angle [abdomen] so that a question of urinary tract obstruction on a periodic or intermittent basis should be considered.

There is a past history of seizure on one occasion.  This was apparently a gran mal seizure and may have been related to drug intake.

Physical Examination

Reveals a disheveled man who appears his stated age and is obese.

Reveals long hair that is in need of shampooing, scalp has plaque build-up.  The nasal septum is perforate [a hole in the inside wall of the nose from cocaine use] with purulent material [pus], dried and old on either side.  Mouth exam reveals four teeth that are broken and badly carious [decayed], left upper, lower and right upper.

Reveals edema [retention of fluid] in the lower legs and hemorrhage of small capillary vessels with subsequent hemosiderin staining [discoloration from internal bleeding].  The skin of the feet is wrinkled and dry.  On the upper extremities, his skin is characterized by healing staphylococcus lesions that are pink and slightly pigmented.  There are lesions on his right hand, where he has apparently suffered flash fires handling the freebase unit needed to produce his cocaine for inhalation.  There are several open draining wounds on the neck.

Diagnostic Impression    

Chemical dependency, opiate and cocaine.

Chronic staphylococcal neurodermatitis [infections].

Perforate nasal septum.

History of lower urinary tract obstruction and urinary retention with gross hematuria [blood in the urine] secondary to probable renolithiasis [urinary tract infection] and colic [gas].

Fixed tissue eruption [skin lesions].

Hemosiderin staining of both lower extremities.

Disposition

The patient will be treated for chemical dependency.  He will be encouraged to participate in group activities, to begin a program of self care physically by washing and shampooing and then to move into daily exercises, group therapy, and stress management.

Gladman Memorial Hospital

The indications are that this patient has used drugs over the years to contain his agitations and depressions.

My Commentary

I presume the drugs Crosby used did contain his agitations and depressions—or at least for a time they did, a few hours.  The problem, however, is they didn’t bring lasting containment: he was soon back to where he started and even worse.  Not only had the agitations and depressions returned, they were more acute than before.  Whatever self-abusive actions we—let’s bring this around to you and me and everyone else—take to make things better—drugs, alcohol, pills, food, neurotic buying, promiscuity, gambling, excessive video gaming, pornography, masochistic relationships—works in the short run (or we wouldn’t be doing them), but they intensify whatever issues we are masking and at some level we knew that when we did those things; that’s what makes what we did self-abusive.  Plus, we now have new problems to deal with—read through Crosby’s list, constipation and infections and the rest.  And if it isn’t Crosby’s list it is some other: broken relationships, lost jobs, missed opportunities, financial hardship, depression and despair, hurt loved ones, etc., etc., etc.

I believe that for just about all people who are torturing themselves, the way out is clear, and it isn’t complicated, and they know what it is, and, even though it may be very tough sledding, it is within their power to go down that path.  It’s not that they—we—don’t know what to do, or that we know what to do and can’t do it; rather, we know what to do and can do it, but we don’t do it.  And, I offer, the knowledge that we could have done it and didn’t persists within us as a physically felt inner reality and gnaws at us despite all the assurances we may be getting from others and from ourselves that our problems are bigger than we are.  Bubbling just beneath the surface and insistingly pressing on us, we know the truth: we are failing ourselves and those in our lives, and we won’t be self-respecting and at peace until we conduct our lives in alignment with that reality.

Other people can help us, programs can help, therapies can help, books can help, but when all is said and done it comes down to invoking two powers that remain available to us no matter how low we get: our rational mind and our power of volition.  Even when things hit rock bottom, as long as we are alive, we can pose and answer an existential question: am I going to stop abusing myself and do what reason tells me is the best way to get out of the mess I’ve put myself in or am I not?   To his great credit, David Crosby answered “Yes” to that question, and he carried through with it.  Creative to the end, his last album was released in December, 2022.  He should be an inspiration to all of us.
