I am shocked - shocked!

A massive rise, eh? Wouldn’t we have assumed that only a few fringe crackpots participate in this type of thing? Let’s work through the possibilities…

- many new antisemites were hatched or spawned since last month
- a well funded and organized conspiracy is pouring resources into a smear campaign
- dormant old antisemites have come out hibernation
- more than one of the above

How can these ideas be directly opposed? I am not sure they can. It is not enough to point out that the tiny fraction of Jews donate more money, time and pints of blood than the majority of the community of non-Jews put together. That goes politically as well as economically, but as above the reaction is that it is somehow not enough.

I happen to agree that there was criminal financial mismanagement and greed and shenanigans. It is neither difficult to find Jewish names among the guilty although all the Jews I know, institutional as well as personal, are among the victims.

Your allegation fails at the labeling of the problem as a Jewish one and your own criminal bent is sealed by labeling it as a Jewish ideological one. It might as well be a male or bald one using the odd characteristic of the perpetrators. Just by the by, have you ever lost your girlfriend to a Jew?

A little incoherent but something to work with. I am not sure where in your cups you came up with Falashas (they don’t like the term) other than you might resent that the Jews are the first and only nation to ransom, transport and integrate African black people for any purpose other than slavery and exploitation. They have come perhaps three hundred years in thirty; a Nobel may come momentarily. We don’t mean to make you people look bad, it is just inevitable. Your redemption is in your own hands.

As for the expulsion of the Jews from England, it is no mystery. It is your chronic lowlife tendency to resist our civilizing influence and to revert to savagery. Probably the taste of blood from the Crusades at work. For you to be forced to learn Arabic (and you will in your lifetime) will be just deserts and a step up. The better question for you is why Cromwell admitted the Jews, ending the Platinum Age, hmmm? I explained this issue in greater depth here as follows:

Jewish moneylending was an invention of the Christian nobility who used the Jews to tax their people beyond the limits of usury. If the Earl of Glasgow, say, needed more money to cover his bills for wenches and grog or ale etc., and his peasants are already taxed to the hilt, he used the local Jews who were not permitted any land or craft or trade except usury, and taxed them at let’s say fifty percent. They in turn would have to charge thirty five percent to cover their own taxes, but at least the peasants could blow off steam periodically by burning the Jews alive in a barn instead of the Earl of Glasgow. Clever, eh?

When 150 Jews of York were slaughtered and burned in the year 1190, King Richard I was so upset that the local boobs [yobbos] had ruined his money machine that he punished them severely. The thing got going again but by 1260 the remaining Jews had been impoverished by the greed of the nobility and then got expelled anyway.

As for any particular prominent Jewish criminals (or just successful people you may envy) that you may name, look again to your own hands. They are the product of centuries of legal disenfranchisement at your hands. Rules that do not permit honest people to live are begging to be circumvented.

Goulash for lunch again I see. Last things first, let’s understand that you habituate websites that moan and mutter about ‘The Jew’, as if there is one man stalking through history like Forrest Gump involved in everything. To your sort I suppose it may look like that. A short study of the Jewish role in history and destiny confirms it in advance, but if that’s your problem it is with God, not us, and we can’t help you. At least not since you destroyed the Holy Temple. Bet you’re sorry now. Meanwhile, not much sympathy for the 499 non-Jewish victims of the 500th man. Most people in the world and history have never met a Jew, and very many have never heard of us. Of the rest most give us not a thought, and of the rest most don’t care. So sorry about the handful of cranks who obsess about us.

I still don’t get the Falasha reference. And the only Sassoons I know are a very nice man who attends my synagogue, and another who ran with some boys in the ‘43 Group’ and shut Oswald Mosley’s gob for him postwar until Mosley was forced to hang it up. I certainly wish your Sassoons success, a plucky band of lone Jew’s against all the other international drug dealers… I se no compassion here - What could make a man turn to crime like that! A cry for help, I say. And let’s see, the Chinese are very admiring of Israel these days even though they help their enemies for business reasons.

Here is a roundup of Jewish history in England, it will confirm what I say in much greter detail. The Church and the Pope has a hand in he proceedings. Usury has existed for millennia; as you know a Jew may not charge or pay it to another Jew (btw same for Muslims ), and if not in the NT it is probably some kind of Church law; in any case Catholics could charge usury to Jews and vice cersa, and the Jews were used by the nobility for that purpose until they characteristically killed the goose etc. Who knows what the English could have amounted to if they had only done their own homework?

As far as he Golden Age of the Jews is concerned, it had to be in the pastoral days of the settlement of our homeland and under the united Kingdom, The United States of Israel as I call it. Under the Muslims and Arabs as you will come to discover in your older age, one must accept a status of oppression and humiliation. What you call the Golden Age of the Jews was actually the Golden Age of the Arabs, in direct proportion to their treatment of the Jews, as the Good Book says. We taught them everything they know, although not everything WE know. Which in turn is everything YOU know. So indirectly, if the Jews had not translated and transmitted the ancient works into Arabic, you would still be painting yourselves blue. That the Arabs lapsed back into fanaticism and primitivity following that is not in dispute.

I have no doubt one could find a historical Jewish slave trader or two if one looked. Neverthless, slavery was not a Jewish invention not specifically African slavery. You ought to say that Jews struck the first blow to ending slavery by defining strictly defining a ground floor for the acquisition, treatment and paths out of slavery. No Jew owns slaves today, but National Geographic as of a couple years ago profiled that there are more slaves in active service today than in all of history combined. Think about that. All non-Jews. On the other hand, I sit next to people who were personally slaves under your heros in Europe.

Deucedly good of Cromwell to help us out, but I dount the whole thing, especially in light of ending the Platinum Age and all that. Rather, you may study history to find that Jews were literally invited and imnported into developing countries to bring their ancient advanced civilization in to act in the way of a gasoline additive. This is the most likely origin of the Ashkenazic Jews under the emperor Charlemagne around 800AD who sent to Mesopotamia (Babylonia) to invite them to settle. And spare us the Khazars, please.

TTFN.

Something definitely smells like gefilte fish gone bad when about 40-50% of America’s billionaires are ethnically Jewish even though they are only a 2% ethnic minority in America - and no doubt an even higher percentage of America’s millionaires are ethnically Jewish even though, again, they are a tiny ethnic minority.  Jewish representation in the media and academia is even higher than that, and many people have similar problems and issues with those fields.  Numbers MUCH less than this is what ultimately led to the Nazi persecution of Jews in Germany and elsewhere during the 1930s-40s…what, you don’t believe me?  Read for yourself what Hitler said in 1939: “If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!“ - http://www1.yadvashem.org/about_holocaust/documents/part1/doc59.html

Additionally, a recent surey showed that almost 50% of American Jews make over $100,000 a year ( http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/148845 ) probably by using ethnic networking opportunities unavailable to other people because when other groups do use ethnic networking similar to the Jews they often get charged with being discriminatory or anti-Semitic. 

So…while there is clearly no “worldwide Jewish conspiracy,“ Jewish financial/economic power and influence clearly have some definite basis in fact.

Comment by Half Jew on 10/06/08 at 3:44 pm

You are refusing to play cricket here. You throw something up, and refuse to engage the response. I hope that is having the intended effect upon your self-esteem. But here goes another one:

It’s a matter of perspective. It only smells bad when you are a lazy, jealous bum like Rocky’s brother-in-law Paulie. When I see these numbers they smell like really good gefilte fish. They make me happy. Even though they are exaggerated in typical White Power sour grapes fashion. The numbers are somewhat lower on the Forbes 400 Richest list, and the book ‘The Millionaire Next Door’ found that Jews did OK, but Scotch-Irish topped the list proportionately.

But the actual numbers are unimportant. Jews have indeed been significantly successful when not being killed and the barbarian’s boot is off their necks. I hasten to add that this invariably results in success for their environments. The Spanish Golden Age effectively ended with the Inquisition, turning them from a colonial empire into practitioners of sheeply love like all such Jew-expelling haters.) The reasons for Jewish success have been studied and they boil down to positive Jewish cultural factors that your ethnic background evidently has religious and historic hangups with. Deep down, maybe unconsciously you feel that being a loser is cool. You feel that success is sinful and sinners are successful. Stuff like that. (Based on your quote, Hitler was such a loser. Note that Hitler did not achieve success by application of prudent and disciplined principles but by ranting and bullying and manipulating people, and by making acting crazy work for him. Your own resentment may stem from not being that talented. Anyway, Hitler did not need a reason.)

Here is a write-up on one such study. He comes up with:

Silbiger identifies seven “keys” to Jewish success. They are:
Understand that real wealth is portable; it’s knowledge
Take care of your own and they will take care of you
Successful people are professionals and entrepreneurs
Develop your verbal confidence, a.k.a. chutzpah
Be selectively extravagant but prudently frugal
Take pride in individuality; encourage creativity
Be psychologically driven to prove something.

He also says “"Anti-Semitism has a long history,“ he writes in his introduction, “and it is by no means dead. Throughout that long history, the Jews’ success has been decried as the reason for other people’s problems.“  Just thought I’d throw that in.

Here is another by Daniel Lapin

Even you can do it, and you don’t even have to get circumsised!

“My boss is a Jewish banker.“

Comment by The Web Guy on 10/06/08 at 10:53 pm

I understand you are not Italian, but frankly after the Crusades I need a scorecard to tell you white European colonial invader types apart.

I think you need to take the outstanding documentaries produced by Dr. Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda with caution, especially on the topic of the Jews. Any Roman view of Jews as immoral is hilarious, and may be traced to the fact that the Jews as the first and only and most successful subject state to revolt against their rule were rather an expensive embarrassment. Sour grapes, don’tcha know. As for barbaric - well, the Romans as a young emerging power entered Judea by invitation to assist in sweeping out some leftover Greek rubbish. Like the annoying and bumbling and treacherous British in Palestine, they stayed on to assume brutal dictatorial power and hopelessly muddle things up. In any case, the whole episode did have the effect of placing Jews, at least temporarily, in every locale in Europe including Britain before the current migrant tenants to fulfill the blessing of Abraham and plant the few seeds of civilization there. Obviously a failed experiment.

I am not the one in charge of censorship, but it is fair to say that advocacy of the insane and evil is pushing it. Allying yourself with vaguely and arguably Jews or former Jews only weakens your pseudo-case as the source of their hangups differs from the source of yours.

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/15/08 at 11:29 pm

Well, it seems there is at least one Jew in Iceland - First Lady of Iceland Dorrit Moussaieff, an Israeli. So if Jews had nothing to do with the banking collapse, perhaps they will be helpful in the recovery. Iceland may be down now but I predict they will recover faster and stronger than we will in real terms due to following what my Jewish advice advocated for the US: letting the banks collapse and designing a new system and financial culture. Sure, I know that many disagree with me. Time will tell.

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/16/08 at 6:35 am

I did mention the late idiot savant. Who did you think I was referreing to as ‘insane and evil’?

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/16/08 at 10:58 am

When David Duke died, there was no coffin his size available. So they gave him an enema and buried him in a shoebox. Why don’t you stick to Iceland for your analysis, with no Jewish cabal and no President Bush?

And I never heard of David Walker but perhaps if he had gone on a hunger strike or taken Cox hostage or threatened to blow up the SEC and the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, he might have gotten more done. At the very least, written something in the plainest of English in the Times, the Journal, Barrons etc.

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/17/08 at 5:25 am

I learn something new every day. I always say nobody speaks English like the English but ‘retifism’ must be obscure even over there unless one has a need to know. Did that issue come up in connection with Maxwell Mosley?

No, David Duke is not a decent stand up guy, my fascist friend. He is a professional obsessive dedicated to misleading the public into endangering and destroying my people. As Duke is not a fool, he has to be knave pandering to fools. And as fools are poor and Duke and his collegues are rich and well funded, one need not be aggressive and unhappy to see the evil conspiracy.

That said, most Jews most of the time give David Duke et al not a thought, while he spends his waking and working hours thinking about us. Does that actually make him or you happy? To each his own.

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/17/08 at 12:09 pm

For anyone seeking to make sense of my string of entries above, they were in response to a British white power advocate who has been escorted from the room. Lately he had been trying to insinuate the ideas of David Duke into the discussion and defend them, and I wrote the following which may now be irrelevant and redundant. I am posting it just so as not to waste the effort of writing it:

These kinds of discussions are necessarily oversimplified. Most fools are mostly poor. They are not the ones supporting David Duke. And President Bush is perhaps the poorest orator and public performer in memory but I believe plays dumb to his advantage. Perhaps those make you the customer for mythology, not I.

Not that you personally require mythology to make David Duke out to be a straight character. An examination of his website shows it overwhelmingly obsessed with Jews, Israel, Zionism, and Jewish conspiracies in all the classical euphemisms. It has the usual obligatory racial porridge which themselves are saturated with Jewish, Israeli and Zionist references and topics. Duke has no positive agenda at all. And while the preservation of the mythological white race is properly a private matter and a poor and stupid platform for an agenda, in America it has no place in politics at all.

Now for a lesson on race, perhaps more so for your potential victims than you. As one (of billions) who take the Biblical account anywhere from literally to seriously to meaningful, it is clear that race is not a fundamental element in human composition. Our common progenitor lived a bit less than 6,000 years ago. If one believes in ‘old Earth’ creationism as I do, there may well have been humanoids societies for a bit longer than that, and our genotype essentially living as animals for up to 175,000 years but the people we see on earth around us did not derive from those people. If you need convincing, look at a historic global population curve anywhere [/url=http://images.google.com/images?num=100&hl=en&q=global population curve&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi]in here[/url]. The data for these projects a global population of four or five million going back on a near flat declining line, and not hitting double digits going forward until around the time of the founding of the Jewish nation thirty three centuries ago. Aside from raw numbers, we have a fair idea of the migration and development of human society branching out from the region called Shinar in the Bible just as described therein. Within the couple of thousand years between those events, the Biblical classic seventy clans/nations were differentiated, perhaps beginning the process of isolation and inbreeding leading to superficial racial diffences.

So racial criteria for marriage or breeding is an essentially atheistic view of history and humanity. The Jewish rules against intermarriage at root and heart are based upon citizenship requirements for a nation and society founded upon a relationship with God, not racial or blood factors. In fact, the evidence is that the Israelites were racially diverse even upon founding, and there were no proscriptions regarding intermarriage among tribes. All of the biblical and rabbinic discussion against intermarriage is concerned with worship of the one and true God or worship of false gods. Any non-religious argument against Jewish intermarriage is as trivial as your white supremacist oxturd. It’s not a positive program, just irrelevant. Scientifically race is next to nonexistent, despite grasping attempts to build castles in the air based on a few questionable subtleties. In the nature/nurture debate, nature is the far lesser of the factors when it comes to humanity. Races of men are like breeds of cats. Within a couple or few generations of ‘miscegenation’ all cats and dogs and horses would look alike and so would all men, not that it’s a big deal.

It’s not a matter of hate—-we hate none. But it is a matter of a kind of cultural hegemony

as witness…

Has this cultural (esp through media holding) been falletring to Jews themselves...and what of our children?

Comment by Stephen Hand on 10/30/08 at 9:58 am

The largest owners of media conglomerates these days are Germans and Arabs. The Jews in the media are either not primarily in the ownership positions or not advocates of Jewish positions. I visited your blog and it is loaded with the usual obsessive antisemitic garbage and paranoia. The solution to liberate your and your children from the dreaded Jewish influence and power is to forget that the Jews exist at all, and to get on with your life on a positive agenda. You will be amazed at the additional time and energy you gain from this discipline, as you and your children fall under the growing German and Arab influence and power.

Comment by Ben Plonie on 10/30/08 at 9:50 pm

Bernanke is a Jew. Greenspan is a Jew. Every head of the Federal Reserve has been a Jew. Jews came over from Europe to set up the Federal Reserve, a privately owned corporation that benefits Jews and burdens everyone else. Fractional reserve banking is a fraud. Fiat money is a fraud. Jews are to blame for both because Jews control the banking and monetary systems. Anyone who doubts that Jews are in control and orchestrated the economic crisis should read about the Rothschild Dynasty. The history of that Jew family is readily available online. Jews haven’t received enough blame for the economic crisis because voters blamed Bush. Bush was just a figurehead, not an insider. Marxist Obama is a golem, a creation of the Jews. Like the econ crisis, his election was a scheme of the Jews.

Comment by W. Orr on 11/10/08 at 7:52 am

“ . . . a scheme of the Jews.“

I must have missed the memo.

Comment by The Web Guy on 11/10/08 at 10:25 am

George W. Bush should be blamed for the economic crisis.

George W. Bush is indeed hated and despised. Bush may not be “self-aware” relative to his narcissistic personality disorder. A lot of mentally ill people are oblivious and/or in denial of their mental illness. But Bush is probably aware that he has psychological problems. Bush may quibble over semantics or interpretations or opinions about whether it would be appropriate or fair to say that he has psychological problems of “clinical significance.”

George W. Bush is gravely mentally ill and needs help.

It is on the Internet: people are “counting the days til Bush leaves office.”

The American people can hardly wait til Bush leaves office. The presidency of Bush has been a nightmare for the American people and for the world. The narcissistic personality disorder of Bush has certainly contributed to what is almost his inability to do anything right.

You certainly have your finger on the popular pulse. How long have you been at this? I at least didn’t vote for Bush this time around.

Bush certainly deserves blame for this crisis, even more blame for the new bailout package, but Bush did nothing alone. The most blame of all goes to all of the big talkers and leaders in Congress who collectively have hundreds of brains and thousands of staffers and years of experience and millions of dollars in resources to figure this out most especially including all of the candidates for President who supposedly had it all figured out but were caught as flatfooted as everyone else.
