Why so much Jewish fear and loathing of Donald Trump?

Also at VDARE.com.

There has been extraordinary, almost unhinged anxiety among some Jews about Donald Trump’s campaign for the GOP Presidential nomination. It has no solid basis, but unfortunately it does speak to their profound neurosis and alienation from the historic American nation.

It’s worth asking how, from the general Jewish point of view, Trump departs from the ideal presidential candidate. This ideal candidate is (1) predictably and fanatically pro-Israel; (2) predictably liberal/Left on social issues, particularly anything related to immigration and multiculturalism; and (3) in need of big campaign money contingent on satisfying (1) and (2). Jeb Bush, who was the early favorite of Sheldon Adelson and theRepublican Jewish Coalition, filled the bill quite well. But Bush now seems to be fading, with Adelson leaning toward Marco Rubio—he of the Gang of Eight Amnesty/Immigration Surge bill and saying all the right things about Israel and the Middle East.

Trump could hardly be more acceptable on Israel, given his statement that “We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.” [When it comes to Jewish ties, no GOP candidate trumps Trump, by Uri Heilman, Times of Israel, August 8, 2015] On the other hand, he does not come across as an ideal neoconservative candidate, having stated that he would not have invaded Iraq (strongly promoted by Israel, the neocons, and the Israel Lobby), opposes using US force for “nation-building,” another favorite neocon policy and one of the rationales for the Iraq invasion, and for his recent statements on Syria—that Putin’s support for Assad makes more sense than the US policy (“we don’t even know who we’re backing”)[Trump on Putin Controlling Syria: ‘OK, Fine,’ Him Fighting ISIS ‘Wonderful Thing,’ ‘Very Little Downside’, Breitbart.com, September 29, 2015 Read more

The Cult of Camila: More on the Scandal at “Kids Company”

It’s a short step from “respected” to “ridiculed.” Just ask Camila Batmanghelidjh, the charismatic Anglo-Iranian founder of the now-defunct children’s charity Kids Company. A year ago, she was a secular saint, idolized by thousands of British liberals:

Camila Batmanghelidjh is a world-renowned child psychotherapist and expert on the rehabilitation of maltreated children. … When I ask my peers about Camila, the chorus is the same. She is viewed as a larger than life heroine and absolute inspiration to the women I talk to from CEOs to fellow journalists. A 21st century Mary Poppins laced with the intellectual chutzpah of Hilary Clinton, the patience and compassion of Nelson Mandela and the steely business acumen of Martha Lane Fox.

No foreign power is behind the European Resistance

PEGIDA demonstration in Dresden

Editor’s note: This is a translation of a blog post by Magnus Söderman, “Nej, det är inte främmande makt som ”göder” det europeiska motståndet”; blogg.motgift.nu, October 27, 2015

Translation by Gregory Conte

No foreign power is behind the European Resistance

With the people of Europe standing up against misrule, their rulers take comfort in the thought that a there must be foreign power behind it all.

In country after country, more and more are standing up against the ongoing policy of [White] genocide. Demonstrations are taking place in Germany, Italy, Sweden, France, the Czech Republic, Hungary and others. Some people even go a step further when they see that politicians do not care or even listen. The frustration propels them to desperate acts, and prospective refugee camps — empty buildings — are set alight.

To everyone it is obvious that the Resistance is a reaction to decades­old policies, as well as a reaction to the total mendacity of the press. Obvious to everyone, except those responsible.

When the Resistance can no longer be ignored, they look for new ways to explain its popularity. Instead of taking responsibility (a word, which otherwise is popular with politicians), they look for scapegoats. Lately that has been “a foreign power.”

The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter[1] published an article today titled “NATO: Xenophobia is fueled by a foreign power.” The article’s thesis is that “a third­party works in secret to foment Xenophobia in Europe.”

The source of this claim is the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence in Riga. Its chief, Janis Sarts,[2] is quoted in Dagens Nyheter saying:

We see similarities in three areas: how information circulates, its quality and content, and what type of content is emphasized. They try to play on the society’s instinctive fear of the unknown.

Yes, of course! That must be it!

Reflections on Jewish Intermarriage into Native Elites

“I want to thank my Jewish daughter. I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan but I’m very glad it happened.”
Donald Trump, February 2015.

As discussion continues among White advocates over the Trump candidacy, I haven’t failed to notice that perhaps the most persistent criticism of Trump from our ranks has been his strong links to Jews, in particular his familial ties to Jewish blood. There’s certainly some substance to this. Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, has adopted the Jewish religion as her own and has been married to Jewish real estate speculator Jared Kushner since 2009. Both of Donald Trump’s grandchildren are Jewish. Looking into the situation in more detail, I was intrigued to discover that Ivanka’s previous two significant relationships were also with Jews, Greg Hirsch and James Gubelmann. Of further note is Ivanka’s very close friendship with Chelsea Clinton, another progeny of the American power elite, who married the Jewish financier Marc Mezvinsky in 2010. The Trump and Clinton situations are excellent examples of the centuries-old practice of strategic Jewish intermarriage with native elites, and this phenomenon deserves some focussed attention.

Jewish intermarriage into non-Jewish power elites is a significant but under-researched aspect of Jewish strategies to maintain and expand influence. At first sight, of course, it appears paradoxical. A major part of the Jewish group evolutionary strategy is concerned with segregation of the gene pool and preventing high levels of genetic admixture from surrounding groups. Judaism has historically been replete with social and cultural controls designed to minimize contact with non-Jews, and therefore greatly inhibit admixture. Additionally, converts are dissuaded and scorned in Judaism in a manner quite without parallel in any other religious culture. However, as Kevin MacDonald has noted in A People That Shall Dwell Alone (2002, hereafter PTSDA), conversion and admixture were permissible, if not eagerly sought, when such an admixture was very small and offered significant net benefits to the group. Similarly, at the opposite end of the Jewish strategic ghetto, controls were also far from airtight — the most sincere Jewish apostates to Christianity tended to be overwhelmingly poor and obscure, and were little mourned by the group at large. The eugenic benefits of pursuing such a strategy are obvious. Read more

British clampdown on free speech accelerates

The long anticipated British government Counter-Extremism Strategy document has been unveiled — and it looks to aimed at unprecedented restrictions on freedom of speech, movement and association.  New Orwellian-sounding government organisations are being launched to target speech and behaviour online and off.  There will be the Extremism Analysis Unit which will exchange data on “extremists” with other governments. The Disclosure and Barring Service will be set up to help employers bar “extremists” and this will include not only convictions but civil orders.  The new Extremism Community Trigger will oblige police to take action possibly issuing orders restricting movement. The new National Citizen Service will allow diligent, publicly-minded teenagers to train up in British values — and sniff out extremism.

The Counter Extremism strategy document was nominally inspired by the upsurge of Muslim militancy from the “Trojan Horse” Islamic takeover of state schools to the fear of returning Jihadists, but somewhere along the line it seems to have been decided that it is the threat of White violence that also needs to be talked up.

It hardly needs to be said that there is no equivalence at all.  No Whites have ever carried out suicide bomb attacks on underground railway stations or airports nor have they hacked servicemen to death on the streets, nor do their menfolk engage in ethnically-motivated mass rapes against vulnerable female children.

The authors of this document have only been able to dredge up two examples of “White” violence in the UK.  The only fatal one was in 2013 by a Ukrainian who turns out to have been an immigrant who had been in the country for three days. Read more

Richard Spencer interviews Kevin MacDonald on the European origins


“Germany must not reject refugees”

Editor’s note: This is a translation of an article originally appearing in Die Welt as “Deutschland darf keine Flüchtlinge ablehnen” (“Germany must not reject refugees”). Thanks to the translator who must remain anonymous. He writes:
You are probably following the news; the country is being invaded, all borders are for all practical matters wide open. There are increasing attacks on the (already limited) freedom of speech, and mass media is doing what they can against people who dare to think differently — including publishing real names of people who write (sometimes in a foolish way, I admit) about the invaders (called here by mass media “refugees”).
There is the PEGIDA movement in Central Germany (Dresden) who rallied at least 30.000 people to protest against mass immigration. They hold rallies every Monday on that city and it IS expanding to other places as well. But people are afraid of being called extremists or of even losing their jobs if they utter something deemed not politically correct.
Now the former leader of the Jewish Council in Germany has asked that this movement be forbidden for being anti-Semitic. And I have seen people from that movement waving Israeli (!) flags. Now go figure.
Germany cannot afford to reject refugees, says Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of German Jews (Zentralrat der deutschen Juden). It (Germany) has brought “evil” upon others and is indebted to other nations.
According to the President of the GJCC, Josef Schuster, Germany is “the last land that can afford to reject refugees and persecuted people.” It has brought so much evil [perdition”] upon the world and it is deeply in debt with so many countries, he said on Sunday during a memorial ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp at Dachau on Apr 29, 1945.
He asks himself, when today, again, some citizens hunt [agitate] against refugees or talk in a demeaning way about Jews, how deep the need for protecting human dignity is anchored in people´s minds.
Dachau´s prisoners would have known, Schuster noted, how fast human civilization could be laid into ruins. “How a people from a supposedly [sic!!] cultured nation (Kulturvolk] became barbarians.” Fundamental values such as tolerance, respect, humility and responsibility should always be re-exercized and defended.
