Michael Rock is a writer, researcher, and blogger with a profound interest in domestic and global affairs.
* One of the weirder aspects of the feminization of America is the lack of moderation. Every middle aged women is “passionate” about something. Everyone “cares deeply” about something or other. This guy is not just interested public affairs, he is profoundly interested.
I looked up his bio. He is an administrative coordinator at a law firm. That’s a fancy name for an office manager. I hope that does not interfere with his research.
* To protect the Jews, we have to support more immigrants from Jew unfriendly Central America and Jew hating Middle East!
* So he is admitting that Jews are the most privileged group in the US?
* I get the same delightful argument from my 72 year old mother.
“To protect women’s rights and abortion we must support more immigrants from abortion unfriendly Central America and the woman-hating Middle East.”
There’s no concept of how we got here as a country nor trust in it’s essential goodness, only an infantile desire for revenge against ancient, mostly imaginary slights and threats.
* If a key aspect of anti-Semitism in the US is the disproportionate number of Jews on the political left, then wouldn’t it make sense for more Jews to join the nationalist right?
Basically what he’s saying is – I’m a left wing liberal and my right to be a left-wing liberal is more important than whether or not members of my tribe end up being persecuted. If I was a member of a racial minority I would have a big problem with that kind of attitude.
* Mexicans and blacks are more impolitic than whites, and opinion polls certainly reflect this, but I don’t know that they’re actually more anti-Semitic, and they have a less anti-Semitic history. The pro-Israel conservative Christians have strange eschatological views in which Israel and Jews are destroyed.
* The sons of Abraham, whose “European physical features have helped them become recognized as white in the American racial caste system,” are white (since that’s what “European physical features” means, plus there are all those paintings of the world’s most famous Jew ever showing Him as white), except Trump threatens to deracinate them, withdrawing their whiteness and thus their “welfare in American society–” after he appoints himself dictator, of course.
So whiteness is good so long as you can hang onto it! I feel relieved; why only a page or two back The Forward was telling me that “whiteness” was an irremediable character flaw, a congenital curse which all right-thinking people thanked the Most High had not fallen upon them or their kin.
* He works for Michelle Siegel, a young lawyer with her own practice representing handicapped kids. Her website says
I am a compassionate and knowledgeable special education attorney who will aggressively represent your family in the struggle to secure the appropriate educational programs and services you are entitled to in New York.

One strongly gets the impression that this is not a person whose career has been limited by his lack of ambition, but rather, is a man operating at the outer limit of his modest abilities. The wording of the description (and the nature of the firm) suggests a charitable hire.
I think what he has written is entirely a product of the milieu he must have been surrounded all his life. It is an attempt to garner praise from those who know him.* Micheal Rock: “If American Jews want to keep their whiteness, or at least their welfare in the United States, they must do everything in their capacity to help stop or contain Donald Trump and the bigoted ideology he has incubated.”
Kind of a self-inflicted catch-22 for those who are paranoid/guilty:
1) Do nothing, and possibly witness the election of fascist God Emperor Trump, or
2) Do “everything in their capacity” to “stop or contain” what American patriots recognize as a fellow patriot, and the patriot mob may further notice (((who))) is most blaringly trying to derail the Trump Train.
If Jews want to keep their (((white))) privilege in the US, it would be strategically smart to keep the US actually white. Enough with the importing of wretched refuse.
* “The pro-Israel conservative Christians have strange eschatological views in which Israel and Jews are destroyed.”
Only some of them. Secular and marginally Christian conservatives are also very pro Israel.
I agree that Latin Americans are not antisemitic. I looked into the poll the ADL does, it is complete BS designed to drive donations. It asks a lot of positive questions like “Are Jews good at business” and takes that as an “antisemitic” answer.
* I think it’s closely related to the fact, observed by those interested in “Game”, that, contrary to stereotype, women tend to be the calculating sex that makes sexual decisions based in self-interest, while men tend to be the romantic ones driven by consuming feelings. It is men who pioneered the language of being “passionate” and “caring deeply” and of “profound” interest. Whether you are talking about religion, romance, or hobbies, it is men who understand this language. Women use it, but not really in earnest, so not really accurately.
* The above is just one of many articles designed to frighten Jews to oppose Trump and support the New World Order and their brethren on Wall Street … because if Trump wins the election a “new Holocaust” or some other demonstrable evil is just around the corner.
The PEW Foundation once posted a study relating that only 17% of American Jews are religious. The rest like the social and business connections and the religious ceremonies. Given the loss of religiosity, others have confessed that Jews in past years had to replace God with the memory of the Holocaust as the community’s unifying principle. However, the memory of the Holocaust is going stale with age. The new message: “Stay united because … because if we don’t, they’re coming for us (AGAIN)!”
Questioning their “whiteness” and more recently claiming a newly found alternative racial/ethnic heritage (“Were from MENA, didn’t you know!”) is an essential part of this evolving ethnicity of fear. If someone does “come for them again”, who do you think it would be? The vile White Man of course, since there is a Nazi lurking inside every White Man just waiting to break out.
Therefore, it follows that Jews need to nurture a new racial/ethnic identity divorced from “whiteness”. This also challenges American Jews to support globalization and open borders as a way to destroy “White Power” in the Americas before it is too late.
This ideology of fear also works with People of Color … although in their case the narrative is about “hooded KKK terrorists” lurking inside every White Man. As for feminists, I guess the narrative is about “rapists …”, etc., although I think they would find it hard to question their “whiteness”.
Everything now falls into place. Keep fanning the flames: Black Lives Matter; salacious sex stories about powerful White Men; implicit anti-semitism … the list goes on.
The bottom line is that fear of the White Man is the common narrative for all of the identities in the Coalition of the Fringes. It’s what keeps them together.
