A Reconquista: germanos contra berberes

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

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:

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. (What I tell my Black Jewish children about Kanye West, antisemitism and race, The Guardian, 20th January 2023)

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

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

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.

Sheila Jackson Lee, a Black radical activist Congresswoman from Houston has introduced a bill in the House that would criminalize thought crimes, and in particular it would criminalize sites like The Occidental Observer, but also the much more mainstream Tucker Carlson. This is because it includes “replacement theory” as a possible motivation and would apply to anyone who writes or talks about replacement theory in a public forum so that someone seeing it online could be inspired to commit a crime as a result (say, assaulting an immigrant). In such a case, the writer or talk show personality would be considered a co-conspirator.

This is chilling to say the least and would obviously gut the First Amendment if upheld by the courts. Rep. Lee has denied that the bill would only apply to White people on the ground that, say, a Black person who expresses concern about replacement theory could also be indicted, either as committing the assault or as writing about replacement theory in a way that might motivate a crime. It goes without saying that Democrats (there have been many) who are quite positive about White replacement would not be indicted.

I have been informed by a reliable source that Norman Moon, the judge in the Charlottesville cases, ruled that defendants can be held to have conspired with people they never met and didn’t even know. Since  Moon is a federal judge, his ruling presumably has precedential value. This is astonishing and frightening.

Therefore, if replacement theory is deemed to be as dangerous as ISIS ideology, for example, and you support it, you could be held to have “conspired” with someone like Peyton Gendron, the guy who shot up the Buffalo grocery store, since he cited the theory. This would especially be the case if  the next Gendron can be proven to have read your site and praised your insights.

Tucker Carlson has mentioned replacement theory on his show and got in big trouble with the ADL. See: “Tucker Carlson Doubles Down on Replacement, Explicitly Mentions White Replacement, and Targets the ADL’s Hypocrisy(!).” So it’s not surprising that he is furious about the bill. These are excerpts that appear to be from a transcript of his January 17 show:

Sheila Jackson Lee is famous in Washington for being the single most obnoxious member of Congress. Now, that’s a title that, as you can imagine, has many contenders, but Sheila Jackson Lee stands alone. Don’t you know who I am? she once screamed at a flight attendant in the first-class cabin on a Continental flight. I am Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal?

In the 1990s, during a visit to NASA, Sheila Jackson Lee demanded to see the flag that astronauts had planted on Mars. When gently informed that no human being has ever been to Mars because it’s very far away, Lee flew into a rage. She accused NASA of racism and pointed out her membership on the “science committee” in Congress and so on. We could spend the entire hour on Sheila Jackson Lee stories and it’s tempting.

On Capitol Hill, she’s known as the queen and not in a good way, but what’s interesting is that nobody ever talks about the congressional district that Sheila Jackson Lee supposedly represents. It’s mostly inner-city Houston and it could use some help. Lee’s district has a poverty rate almost twice the national average, all the usual markers of civilizational decline—high crime, bad schools, low social cohesion, drugs.

Now, Lee has served in Congress for nearly 30 years, but it’s hard to think of a single thing she has ever done to improve the lives of the people who elected her. She doesn’t seem interested. Instead, Sheila Jackson Lee has devoted her entire political career and her entire life to a single cause-shrieking about White racism. That’s what Sheila Jackson Lee does for a living. Here’s a selection:

JACKSON LEE: Institutional racism and systemic racism taints and spoils the way that America treats in one instance, African Americans and other instances, minorities. 

JACKSON LEE: The dastardly impacts of White nationalism, White supremacy and outright racism. 

JACKSON LEE: Racism is a national security threat.   [continues with more examples] …

Racism, you see, is a national security threat. It’s a national security threat. Really, Sheila Jackson Lee? Tell us how racism is a national security threat. Speak slowly. We’ve got plenty of time, but of course, she won’t do that. She’s got no argument. She’s got no facts. She doesn’t even have a sincere belief in what she’s saying. It’s absurd and she knows it and by the way, Sheila Jackson Lee doesn’t want to protect a country she despises from national security threats. Why would she want to do that?

No, that’s not the point. What she’s doing here every day is leveling a racial attack, a blood libel, against an entire group of Americans while simultaneously pretending to be the victim of attacks from that same group. Stop hitting me, she howls as she punches you in the face. It’s such a common tactic at this point, used constantly by Al Sharpton, by the ADL [again mentioning the ADL; definitely getting over the target], by so many others that you may not even notice it anymore, but it’s still disgusting. It’s still immoral. It’s still divisive. … [quotes the ever-pliable Joe Biden who will say or do anything to keep his career going. Even the Jan. 6 riots was “about White supremacy.”]

Of course, it’s far more than divisive. It’s a harbinger of how White people are going to be treated when they lose power as a result of replacement. Can there be any doubt that activists like Lee and the ADL wouldn’t hesitate to genocide Whites if they had the power to do so—as the Bolsheviks did in the USSR at a time when Jews were a hostile elite? And they’re doing everything they can to get that power. Replacement is a central part of their strategy

Speaking of blood libel, because that’s what it is, protesting the 2020 election result is the same as slavery, as the KKK. It’s the same as murdering Martin Luther King. It’s all White supremacy, declares Joe Biden without defining the term. Now, you may recall when Joe Biden said that. You probably dismissed it at the time as ridiculous, as the rantings of a senile partisan and, of course, that’s what it was, but you should also keep in mind that Joe Biden did not say that by accident. It wasn’t an ad lib, off the cuff. No, his staff signed off on that speech. They wrote it. They read it before he read it.

And they wrote it for a reason. When the president of the United States identifies a threat to this country, his many federal agencies, the biggest in the world, swing into action to neutralize that threat. That’s how the system works, as Joe Biden’s staff well knows. So, in fact, when Joe Biden likens you to al-Qaeda or the Klan, it’s not a small thing at all. It has implications. So, here’s Sheila Jackson Lee from last week in a not unrelated clip calling for the renewal of the Patriot Act. Watch.

JACKSON LEE: remember after 9/11 when we all worked together to ensure the protection of the American people through the Patriot Act and dealing with the FISA courts. We worked together because truth is important.

Well, it’s kind of strange if you think about it. Why would Sheila Jackson Lee, a self-described liberal, find herself last week praising the secret government courts that liberals once opposed passionately on the grounds that those courts could be used to destroy the constitutional rights of Americans without anyone knowing about it? Secret courts? Liberals were against secret courts and now the chief liberal in Congress is strongly for secret courts. What’s going on here? Why?

Well, because those secret courts turn out to be a highly effective way to silence the critics of the Democratic Party, to silence those so-called White supremacists Joe Biden’s always yelling about, not all of whom, by the way, are White. You don’t have to be White to be a White supremacist. You just have to oppose the agenda and of course, Sheila Jackson Lee knows that very well and that’s why she wants to renew the Patriot Act indefinitely and there are enough dumb Republicans that she may be able to, but Sheila Jackson would like to go a lot further than that. Lee has just introduced a bill called the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023. …

Now, it’s not an exaggeration to say this single bill would do more to criminalize speech, previously constitutionally guaranteed speech, than any other piece of legislation that has been proposed in the entire history of this country. …

Anything can be White supremacy, but the bill does specifically point to something called replacement theory, White supremacist ideology. If you engage in either one of them, you go to federal prison possibly for a very long time. So, all that’s required under this piece of legislation, which is not being laughed out of Congress yet, all that’s required is that your political opinions “could as determined by a reasonable person, motivate actions by a person predisposed to engaging in a White supremacy inspired hate crime.”

So, what would qualify as a felony under this law? Well, virtually everything, but among them would be pointing out the Democratic Party politicians, including Chuck Schumer, the leading Senate Democrat, have long bragged that they are flooding this country with immigrants in order to change the demography to maintain political power for themselves.

They’ve said that many times. They’ve written it. They bragged about it on camera, but if you notice it under this bill, you would be criminally responsible for the violent acts of people you have never met and you would go to jail for terrorism. Now, what’s most interesting about this bill is that it’s race specific. Nothing in Sheila Jackson Lee’s legislation would apply to, say, Black supremacy or murder sprees by people who aren’t White supremacists, the massacre in Waukesha, for example. So, that means that Democratic Party politicians can continue to say whatever they want with impunity.

The First Amendment still applies to them, but not to anyone who doesn’t vote for them. That’s the definition of tyranny. It’s horrifying. It’s a direct attack on the Bill of Rights, on our core freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. government for 250 years. We shouldn’t be surprised by this, however, because it’s consistent with what Biden has promised, has promised the day he got into office and the promise was that race blind justice, which is the entire foundation of the rule of law in the West, has been for centuries, is done.

The new model? South Africa. That’s the new model. South Africa—a country we never talk about because no one wants to admit what’s happened there over the past 29 years.

Tucker then advocates a color-blind concept of the law but correctly claims that such a conception is alien to the Democrats but that no one on the right has complained about it—which I doubt since I regularly see talking-head conservatives complaining about race-based benefits. And he states that race-based law is “immoral”—a good strategy because White people are particularly prone to act on their moral principles. Obviously there is not even an inkling on the mainstream right that White people should have special rights—as is the case with Jews in Israel.

But the bottom line is that “Democrats, including Sheila Jackson Lee, have decided that their opponents are terrorists and they’re terrorists because of their race and once you’re a terrorist, what do we get to do? We can take all your stuff. We get to seize your assets.” And put you in prison for a very long time.

The fact is that because of replacement, the left has demographics on its side. Does anyone seriously believe that millions of illegals that Mayorkas is letting in will be outraged that their new government allocates benefits to people like them on the basis of their race? Won’t happen.

I don’t seriously think that this bill will be signed into law in this Congress, and the conservative-majority Supreme Court would very likely find it unconstitutional. But one wonders what will happen when—inevitably it would seem, short of a cataclysm—the Democrats regain control of all three branches of government. See you in prison.

The essential parts of the bill:

A conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime shall be determined to exist— (1) between two or more persons engaged in the
planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime; or (2) between two or more persons—

(A) at least one of whom engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate
crime; and
(B) at least one of whom published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘‘replacement theory’’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group, and such published material—(i) was published on a social media platform or by other means of publication with the likelihood that it would be viewed by persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime, or who are
susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime;
(ii) could, as determined by a reasonable person, motivate actions by a person predisposed to engaging in a white supremacy inspired hate crime or by a person who is susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions relating to a white supremacy inspired hate crime; and
(iii) was read, heard, or viewed by a person who engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime. …

Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity. These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry, and mythical falsehoods such as ‘‘replacement theory’’. All instances must be prevented and severe criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators.

 

Só um novo Estado russo poderá vencer a guerra

A Operação Militar Especial expôs os erros sistêmicos de nosso Estado e, na atual confrontação militar com a civilização ocidental, tais defeitos são fatais. Necessitamos de um novo Estado e de uma nova política. Que mudanças devemos fazer para que a Rússia vença a guerra? Vamos enumerar algumas propostas que têm sido feitas. Elas são as seguintes:

a) passar de um Estado autoritário para uma aliança do Estado com o povo, isto é, uma unidade orgânica entre ambos que nos permita superar a manipulação em favor da honestidade;

b) substituir o paradigma liberal pelo socialismo popular, favorecendo o apoio material ao setor público e aos mais necessitados;

c) desmontar o aparato do grande capital (a oligarquia) e entregá-lo às competentes empresas pequenas e médias (nacionalização da grande indústria);

d) deixar de lado o comércio de matérias-primas e substituí-lo pela economia do conhecimento e pela revitalização do mundo rural;

e) desagregar as grandes concentrações urbanas e repovoar as terras russas: devemos destruir as grandes urbes e voltar às pequenas cidades e comunidades rurais;

f) acabar com a impunidade e o favorecimento de burocratas corruptos e ineficazes mediante o princípio da meritocracia. (Urge entregar o poder a quem tenha demonstrado ser digno de seus cargos.);

g) passar de uma sociedade baseada em relações públicas para outra totalmente ideologizada: jornalistas devem defender aquilo em que acreditam em vez de fazer propaganda de conveniência casual;

h) repudiar a cultura do entretenimento em favor de uma cultura clássica formativa, edificante e filosófica;

i) compreender historicamente a nossa realidade: definir de forma precisa o lugar da Rússia atual no conjunto de toda a nossa história, com o devido reconhecimento à antiga Rus, ao Reino de Moscóvia, ao Império Russo e à URSS, mencionando episódios como o Tempo dos Problemas e a infame década dos anos noventas como desvios do caminho para o cumprimento de nossa missão;

j) proteger nossos valores tradicionais e erradicar tudo o que não tiver a ver com eles, confiando esta missão a pessoas capazes e não a simples gestores aleatórios;

k) construir uma sociedade solidária composta por,

uma classe espiritual que seja a bússula moral dessa sociedade;

uma classe de belatores como representantes de uma elite política e social (nova nobreza ou, se melhor assim, uma nomenclatura do partido);

trabalhadores honestos (aí incluídos os empresários) como representantes do homem comum;

l) criar uma elite intelectual russa independente dos paradigmas e estratégias da civilização ocidental;

m) retornar a uma sociedade tradicional com uma família forte e rechaço à interpretação secular, contratual e individualista do matrimônio.

Todos esses pontos, bastante evidentes, constituem as condições necessárias para a nossa vitória. Se não os tomarmos em conta e deixarmos tudo malparado como está, simplesmente estaremos nos condenando à derrota. O modelo de Estado anterior à guerra, relativamente eficaz, já não corresponde às necessidades históricas do contexto atual. A Operação Militar Especial deixou expostos os defeitos fundamentais de nosso Estado e, na presente confrontação militar com a civilização ocidental, tais defeitos são fatais. Necessitamos de um novo Estado e de uma nova política. O tempo urge. Creio que devamos fazer importantes avanços nessa direção durante o próximo ano [2023].

Se não for assim…

Nota do editor de El Manifiesto:

Que pena! Como dói, num artigo tão extraordinário e importante como esse, ler palavras de homenagem, ainda que breves, à antiga URSS. A reverência é prestada àquela mesmíssima URSS em cujos campos de concentração estaria agora encerrado, se já não morto e enterrado, o rebelde de alta categoria que a homenageia, ou seja, o próprio Alexander Dugin.

Uma coisa é entender ou aprovar que a Rússia não cometa contra a URSS a damnatio memoriae que o Ocidente perpetrou contra o fascismo (e continua perpetrando: só lhes resta a reductio ad hitlerum como argumento para defender “a democracia liberal”). Isso é uma coisa. Outra coisa, e bem diferente, é enaltecer a URSS como cometimento dos mais gloriosos da história russa.

On Jewish Vulgarity

I read with interest a recent column in The Tablet by David Mikics (Professor of English, University of Houston) on Jewish vulgarity or, as the piece otherwise explains it, “the once-vibrant Jewish trait of not caring what the goyim think.” Although touted as a three-part series, only the first part has been published thus far, and this first essay is a kind of focused review of elements within John Murray Cuddihy’s The Ordeal of Civility and Yuri Slezkine’s The Jewish Century. In the following essay I want to expand upon, and challenge, some of the ideas raised in the piece by Mikics.

I have to agree with the basic premise of the opening remarks of Mikics’s column. He writes that “the charge that Jews are vulgar now seems almost quaint. … Jewish lack of manners was once taken seriously both by Jews and by their gentile neighbors and competitors. The vulgar, unmannerly Jew was a countercultural force, and not just a reason for shame and repression.” The overall state of contemporary culture has indeed degraded to such an extent that Jews no longer stand out as singular producers of cultural obscenities. And yet there is a deep history of Jews as the agents of vulgarity in the West, stretching back to Roman accounts. Mikics doesn’t seem concerned with this deep history, focusing only on the twentieth century as covered by the works of Cuddihy and Slezkine.

Historical Jewish Obscenity

Jews have often been regarded by host cultures as both inherently obscene and as promoters of the obscene — a corrosive force acting against group morality, and therefore group cohesion. In Unclean Lips: Obscenity, Jews, and American Culture (2014), Josh Lambert points out that in the ancient Mediterranean Jews were referred to as “an obscene people.”[1] Such comments may have been as much observations as aspersions, since we know that in later centuries obscenity became an integral part of Jewish linguistic culture. For example, Bernard Dov Weinryb writes that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Poland, “many erotic or obscene expressions and metaphors appear in Hassidic writings. …They reflect the way the average Jew in those times used obscene language, mainly of an erotic character, in his conversation.”[2] On more recent contexts, Jonas E. Alexis has written that,

Jewish actors tend to gravitate towards shows with sexual themes. …  Israeli-American Natalie Portman tells us in the movie No Strings Attached that “monogamy goes against our basic biology.” And [Jewish singer] Adam Lambert says, “When I’m on stage there’s definitely a sexual energy that goes into it.” In 2009 Lambert performed ‘For Your Entertainment’ at the American Music Awards. During the performance Lambert dragged a female dancer by her ankles and pushed “a male dancer’s head into his crotch and simulated oral sex.”[3]

As well as being represented and self-representing as having an intrinsic relationship to the obscene, the historical record is also replete with examples of Jews involving themselves heavily in the trade in obscenity. In his pseudonymously-published Letters from England (1808), the English Poet Laureate Robert Southey remarked on Jewish peddlers who wandered nineteenth-century England hawking “miserable and obscene prints.”[4]

In 1886 Édouard Drumont warned of a “pornographic war” being waged on France by Jews.[5] In 1913, a “filthy press” in Warsaw “belonging to a certain Zimmerman,” was confiscated by Polish police after it was discovered disseminating pornography throughout the Russian Empire — activities described by the newspaper Przegląd Katolicki as a “Jewish atrocity.”[6] Estonian police raided a building in 1909 belonging to the Jewish Benjamin Mikhailovsky, one of the richest merchants in Narva. One of Mikhailovsky’s side projects, apart from the trade in precious metals, was printing, and during their search police seized “11,119 cards they considered pornographic.”[7] And in Poland in 1910, the Polish Archbishop Pelczar would write, “I consider it my duty to warn Christian society against those Jews who intoxicate our people in the tavern and destroy them with usury; against those who maintain houses of debauchery in the towns; who trade in live goods [i.e. selling women into prostitution], who poison our young people with pornographic prints and periodicals.”[8] In the U.S, it is well-established that Jews have had a prominent role in the porn industry since the late nineteenth century.

Weaponized Rudeness

As well as prominent involvement in pushing pornographic vulgarity into Western culture, Jews have been noted for their general disdain for the social norms and manners of the host population. Naomi Cohen writes that the nineteenth-century Jew was faulted for “his vulgarity, boorishness, and ostentatious behavior.”[9] In his article in The Tablet, David Mikics is primarily concerned with this strain of Jewish vulgarity. Although it was a kind of open in-joke among Jews, discussions of Jewish social vulgarity among non-Jews were a source of alarm. Cuddihy’s book in particular, notes Mikics, “was notorious: Here was a non-Jew talking about vulgar Jews, as if this were a real thing. Clapping the lid over such a shonda was the primary task of some reviewers, who hinted that Cuddihy must be an antisemite.” He continues,

It is bad manners to talk about Jewish bad manners the way Cuddihy did— and even more so today than 50 years ago. But his book made a powerful case that Cuddihy did not see vulgarity as a flaw but instead as a weapon Jews used to disrupt gentile society—for which he admired them. Jews deployed their rudeness to make a principled argument against the goyim (a word Cuddihy didn’t shy away from), who were cultural prisoners of a hypocritical code that swept unruly emotions under the rug and leaned on polite euphemism to conceal the vampiric nature of capitalist exploitation. The grand Marxist and Freudian theories about the human condition have a crude Jewish impulse at their core, Cuddihy argued, which makes them more, not less, compelling.

Cuddihy, like Josh Lambert and Unclean Lips, imputes an idealistic motive to what is quite obviously a phenomenon fuelled more by the baser instinct towards aggression. Lambert, for example, argues that Jews “engaged with obscenity — produced it, defended it, wrote about it — for precisely the same reasons that many of their Protestant, Catholic, and nonreligious peers did so: to make money, to seek sexual gratification, to express antisocial rage.”[10] In terms of factuality, this probably ranks somewhere alongside defining a dog as a four-legged mammal — it is technically truthful but is so insufficient and incomplete as to be almost worthless. Most interesting of these proffered reasons is ‘antisocial rage,’ which is left hanging in tantalizing fashion without further elaboration. Indeed, lest readers begin to ponder the fact that, numerically speaking, Jews appear to have a disproportionate amount of ‘antisocial rage,’ Lambert hastens to clarify that he means his subjects are merely “expressing anger about their individual lives” [emphasis added].

Speaking through one of his characters in The Anatomy Lesson (1983), the Jewish filth-peddler Philip Roth seethes: “With me money is not the paramount issue. The defiance is. The hatred is. The outrage is.” Lambert takes this comment and avoids asking who Roth is defying, or who his hatred and outrage is directed towards. Roth’s hatred, like other subjects discussed in Unclean Lips, is simply abstracted into what Lambert describes in anodyne fashion as a purely “personal, apolitical rage.”

I’ve reached different conclusions from Lambert, who argues with some tremendous leaps of logic that Jewish vulgarity was a method employed by Jews to facilitate assimilation and force their way into genteel society (!). Evidence in the field of obscenity suggests that Jews have long possessed a disproportionate surplus of “antisocial rage,” and that the expression of this rage is rather more political than apolitical, and rather more communal than purely personal or individual. In the careful, consistent, and persistent action of Jews in challenging and overturning obscenity laws, for example, one detects a hatred that is more focused than abstract, more contrived than spontaneous.

My own perspective is echoed by Joshua Furst in a 2014 article published in The Forward, titled “A Short History of Jews and Obscenity.” The article reviews Unclean Lips and finds the book an anodyne and bland text that avoids the fundamental impulses behind Jewish transgression of the host culture’s norms. For Furst,

What’s lost in “Unclean Lips” is the thrill obscenity can create. It’s the sharp dangerous edge of anarchy and when used effectively, it can BLEEP up the most carefully planned cocktail party, smashing all propriety to BLEEP. Lambert’s systematic and earnest exegeses take all the fun out of obscenity. It’s like going to a strip club to find yourself being lectured about heteronormativity and the male gaze by a fully clothed BLEEPer. Presenting obscenity as a means of gaining access to the domain of polite, civil society seems, to me at least, to miss the BLEEPING point.

Furst continues:

Maybe more problematic, if one cares about the relationship between Judaism and American culture, are the limited and predetermined objectives Lambert presents his Jewish protagonists as having. In these pages, obscenity is first and foremost presented as a tool by which Jews were able to assimilate and gain acceptance by the American cultural elite as well as monetary and societal success, and to enter the “prestige culture” as Lambert calls it. But what of the other ways in which obscenity can and has been used? What of transgression and dissidence? Obscenity is such a powerful weapon against those who would wish to control our behavior (to say nothing of our imaginations) and villainize us for our culture. And the angry refusal of Jewish figures like Lenny Bruce, Abbie Hoffman and even Al Goldstein to accept the terms the over-culture demanded was as Jewish in character as Henry Roth’s yiddishisms and Liveright’s entrepreneurship through scandal.

Genteel society, or Gentile society?: Moral Destruction as Ethnic Warfare

When Jews discuss Jewish vulgarity and its motives, there is an obvious conceit at play in the framing of the issue. Almost exclusively one encounters the notion that Jews wanted to upset a stuffy “genteel society.” Such phrasing places Jewish action in the sphere of a clash of behaviors rather than a clash of ethnicities. Take, for example, Mikics, who writes, “The one time I saw him, in the 1980s, Abbie Hoffman seemed to me a genuine charismatic, as well as a matchless stand-up comic. Like Lenny Bruce, Mel Brooks or the gang at Mad, he sensed how Jewish vulgarity could explode the sacred cows of genteel society” [emphasis added]. This is little more than a clever shell game. If Jews are the aggressors seeking change, isn’t the genteel society really just gentile society?

The lowering of the moral values of a nation or ethnic group and the systematic encouragement of vice in it are inherently aggressive and political acts, designed to weaken the spiritual resistance of the national group. In Empire, Colony, Genocide: Conquest, Occupation, and Subaltern Resistance in World History, the Australian academic A. Dirk Moses discusses the use of “moral techniques” as an instrument of genocide. He writes that “The technique of moral debasement entails diverting the ‘mental energy of the group’ from ‘moral and national thinking’ to ‘base instincts.’ The aim is that the desire for cheap individual pleasure be substituted for the desire for collective feelings and ideals based upon a higher morality.” It is demoralizing to a people. It is debasing to a nation. It is a weapon wielded in ethnic warfare.

Moses, who I am assuming is Jewish based purely on his name, was writing specifically about policies enacted in post-invasion Poland by the National Socialist regime. On these policies, Raphael Lemkin, a Jewish self-styled expert on genocide, remarks: “Therefore the [National Socialist] occupant made an effort in Poland to impose upon the Poles pornographic publications and movies. The consumption of alcohol was encouraged, for while food prices have soared, the Germans have kept down the price of alcohol, and the peasants are compelled by the authorities to take spirits in payment for agricultural produce. The curfew law, enforced very strictly against Poles, is relaxed if they can show the authorities a ticket to one of the gambling houses which the Germans have allowed to come into existence.”[11]

As discussed in Kevin MacDonald’s Separation and Its Discontents, the National Socialist movement in Germany adopted what in many respects was a mirror image strategy of that employed by the Jews. This is clear not only in the adoption of race laws, but also in the fact the National Socialists were here merely copying and expanding upon what they understood to be the pre-existing tactics of Jewish cultural domination in Poland (and others in Europe). Indeed, Jews were widely understood by both Poles and Germans as having been intimately involved in the alcohol industry of Poland prior to the invasion of 1939, with the Tablet even affirming in a 2014 article that Jews “ruled Poland’s liquor trade for centuries” in a system in which Polish peasants were compelled to purchase Jewish alcohol. Jews have also long been associated with dominating the gambling industry (Israel is currently the global center for online gambling). In those areas of nineteenth century Poland where local nobles granted tax exemptions to Jewish communal institutions, Jews continued to sell liquor and run inns and taverns, in which they established gambling facilities to further squeeze the Poles. And the activities of Jews in promoting pornography in Poland have already been discussed above.

My question then, on considering the remarks of Moses and Lemkin, is both simple and stark: If, by promoting vice, the National Socialists were employing a genocidal technique against the Poles, what had the Jews been doing? And if the Jews are engaging in the same activities in the West today, what are they doing and why? Can we really describe a set of behaviors as on the one hand indicating a desire to “assimilate” and promote “freedom,” while maintaining on the other hand that these same techniques are designed to destroy?

Jewish Vulgarity

Mikics, while playfully teasing for much of his article as if these Jews were simply a bunch of loveable rogues, slips towards the end when he laments such ‘tame’ shows as Curb Your Enthusiasm:

Shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm hawk Jewish rudeness for easy laughs, proving that the vulgar Jew has declined from a real threat into an amusing, half-legendary caricature. … The exuberance of Jewish vulgarity, and the in-group solidarity of the shtetlakh it expressed, are both missing. [emphasis added]

What is Jewish vulgarity, then?  Mikics seems to suggest here that it’s a way in which Jews can both bond with one another and threaten the host society. Or, to use another of his phrases, it melded “Jewish aggression with communal solidarity.” Perhaps it’s best to end with the self-explanatory, and consider the following remarks from Joshua Furst:

Among the Jewish traits I am most proud to be historically and culturally associated with is the way my people obstreperously defend our principles even when doing so goes against our best interests. … I see it as my birthright to get under people’s skin and annoy them until they want to scream. And one of the greatest rhetorical tools people bent towards this sort of behavior can wield is the well-timed, carefully aimed obscenity.
