Dutch posts: “The real opprobrium earned by the Jews was their association with the usury that underpins Capitalism. It can make you rich but will also make you hated.”
I remember in high school, I used to lend people money, small amounts like a dollar, and charge them 25% interest when they paid me back the next day.
I wasn’t the most popular kid.
I hear all the time in the United States about how this and that place are a “bad part of town.” And we just accept that is how things are. There are bad parts of town just like there are days when it rains and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Why do we put up with that? Why doesn’t a decent society demand a certain level of decency from people? If people aren’t decent, they should be put on an island and left to their own devices. They certainly should not be allowed to reproduce. They should not be allowed to bother decent people. They should not be allowed to ride public transportation and or visit good parts of town. They have to be segregated.
Decent people won’t ride public transportation if they have a choice so long as public transport is continually ruined by the behavior of the indecent. Decent people won’t send their kids to public schools if these schools are ruined by the indecent.
Different groups have different standards of decency. I think the majority must enforce their own standards of decency on minorities.
I just wish nature provided certain visual cues about who is more likely to engage in criminal and other forms of anti-social behavior. I wish nature color-coded people like it color-codes plants and animals.
Perhaps if it was OK to notice that people with tattoos and certain types of hair and clothing styles are more likely to commit indecent behavior, the decent could enforce sanctions against the bad guys.
I think it is fair to stereotype. Not all groups have identical patterns of behavior. In fact, different races have different gifts. Ideally, a nation consists of primarily one distinct people with a similar genetic, cultural and religious heritage. But if you have a nation like America consisting of many different peoples, then it is fair to start taking sanctions against groups with high crime rates, high welfare rates, low educational attainment rates, high illegitimacy rates. On the other hand, groups demonstrating low crimes rates and high marks of good citizenship should reap the benefits and have more power in society.
I’m tired of hearing about bad parts of town in Los Angeles. Why can’t Los Angeles be awesome everywhere as it was in the 1930s when it was the most Anglo city in the US?
Living in the United States is a privilege and you should lose that privilege for anti-social behavior and be sent to Somalia or Venezuela (pay these countries to take our losers).
What if Jews were black? This is what kept crossing my mind while watching the very popular YouTube debate between Halsey English and Mike Enoch. The reason this crossed my mind? I just kept imagining the NBA every time Enoch mentioned “Jewish power” due to over-representation.
After all, this is right up Mike’s alley. One of his most famous quotes, even used on his SPLC page, is that, paraphrased, blacks cannot get even with whites no matter what we do for them. It’s fruitless.
So, basically, Mike’s saying that it’s genetic – that black people, no matter what, will always commit more crime and be behind whites in a first-world nation due to their genetic roots. Though when it comes to something like playing in the NBA, blacks are grossly over-represented; and not because of any affirmative action but rather because they tend to play basketball better.
Nobody lines up and cries and moans and blurts out conspiracies because blacks control the NBA. Nobody’s saying they have any nefarious purpose either. This is something they tend to be good at, so this is a sport to which they flock.
Though when it comes to Jews in media, Mike Enoch is moving the needle ever closer to Hitler in terms of conspiracies and propaganda as to why there are so many.
Could it be maybe, just maybe, we have an over-representation of Jews in media because they’re better at it? Could it be the average verbal acuity of Jewish people is better than whites, and that they’re more cut out for areas that involve media and finance and law?
How, exactly, did Jewish people end up in all of these positions? While a guy like Mike Enoch would claim some wild drivel about Jewish nepotism, Jews promoting Jews unfairly, maybe the facts are a lot simpler. Maybe these are areas in which Jewish people excel, and maybe a lot of white people are just jealous.
Yeah, I know, here come the accusations of “Horseshoe theory,” the alt-right’s greatest (and weirdest) defense; as if pointing that out is actually an argument. But it does seem to mirror reality. The white men of the alt-right seem to do little different from the trans kids on the SJW left. They whine, moan, claim they’re entitled to free shit because of how they were born, and stomp their feet in hopes of getting their entitlements.
A good rule of thumb for hard-right, Nazi or Nazi-adjacent groups is that one-third of its members are petty criminals, one-third are gay, and one-third are informants. The nature of such groups makes it hard to come up with firm numbers, so you’ll have to trust me. Comprised of often no more than a dozen or so individuals, from which people are constantly drifting in and out, makes attempting an actual count difficult if not impossible, but there is abundant evidence that this breakdown is closer than not to the truth. It is certainly true for now-defunct groups like the American Nazi Party and the National Renaissance Party, and nothing in the mountains of post-Charlottesville coverage and doxxing has given me any reason to update the general assumption for hard-right groups today.
Many individuals fall into more than one category. Patrik Hermansson, the most recent alt-right infiltrator, has a bit of a honeypot vibe. It’s probably not a coincidence that the most revealing scoop he produced pertained to Greg Johnson, editor of the rather gay-friendly fascist imprint Counter Currents. There are some individuals that fall into all three categories. Frazier Glenn Miller is now awaiting execution in El Dorado Prison outside of Wichita, for killing three outside a Kansas Jewish Community Center in 2014. Miller turned state’s evidence to testify in the Fort Smith Trial in 1988, a botched attempt by the Department of Justice to apply a seditious conspiracy charge to a slew of racist groups, some of which had never had any contact with one another prior to the trial. In exchange, he was rewarded with a reduced sentence and probably admission into a witness protection program (the government neither confirms nor denies this, but he was assigned a new Social Security number). Some years earlier Miller, an alcoholic and deeply troubled man, was arrested after being caught in flagrante with a male transvestite prostitute. He is an instructive example, because despite his informing, there is no reason to doubt he believed in what he was doing.
The phenomenon of the true-believing informant, strange as it may sound, is relatively common. George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party, regularly telephoned the ADL’s man in Washington, Jason Silverman, to update him on party activities. Guy Banister, a former FBI agent-turned activist who was involved in Louisiana’s White Citizens Councils and the Minutemen, was regularly in touch with his former colleagues, which may have helped to shield him when a man who rented space in a building he owned, one Lee Harvey Oswald, came under posthumous scrutiny…
One interesting example that bears mentioning in relation to the Republic of Florida debacle is Roy Bullock, the ADL’s West Coast fact-finding director, who worked for the organization for about four decades. Bullock nearly kicked off an espionage scandal in the early 1990s when it was revealed that he had been handing over information on anti-apartheid activists to the South African government, and being paid for his services. When his houseboat was raided, authorities found files on hundreds of organizations and almost ten thousand individuals, some of which had been stolen from the San Francisco Police Department after they shut down their political intelligence operations. (There is also circumstantial evidence that his files on Palestinian activists were ending up in the hands of the Israeli government.)
The ADL settled several lawsuits out of court with people who had been spied upon, though they claim no wrongdoing. Bullock is germane to today’s case because, in the course of infiltrating a wide variety of Arab-American groups, he was accused of doing things like leaving holocaust denial literature on their tables. This is a common theme of watchdog activities: they will try to equate, tarnish, or otherwise associate a legitimate disagreement with bigotry. It would be useful to the ADL to associate Palestinian rights with holocaust denial, and if there isn’t enough evidence to actually support the connection, what’s a little ratfucking for a good cause?
From 1991 to 1993 the FBI briefly was involved in infiltrating militia groups in Texas, setting up a front organization called the Veterans Aryan Militia which was used to make inroads in the Texas Light Infantry, among others. The VAM was intentionally modeled after The Order, a white nationalist criminal organization famous for several robberies and the assassination of Denver radio host Alan Berg, and according to J.M. Berger’s report for the New America Foundation, it consisted of at least one agent provocateur, and worked to strengthen links between militias and groups like the Aryan Nations, which, up to that point, had been virtually nonexistent…
By organizing the Charlottesville white nationalist rally that turned deadly last fall, former Occupy activist Jason Kessler provided the watchdog organizations their greatest fundraising coup in years. And now, the Robespierre of the Republic of Florida seems to think it would be good PR to associate his group with a school shooter.
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jay Marshall Wolman, like a thousand other lawyers on Twitter, is wry, maybe a little coarse and, well, Jewish, peppering his tweets with Hebrew blessings and other Jewish references.
He gets deadly serious, though, if you ask him why he is the lead attorney representing Andrew Anglin, America’s most notorious Nazi.
Wolman was in the headlines this week for his attempt to dismiss a lawsuit against Anglin alleging the Daily Stormer founder harassed a Jewish real estate agent in Montana. Tanya Gersh’s suit claims Anglin caused her “emotional distress” last year when he called for a “troll storm” against her and published her personal information.
Wolman, according to the Missoulian, a Montana daily, argued that Anglin was living abroad at the time and therefore is out of the court’s jurisdiction. (Lawyers for Gersh and the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is assisting her, have been unable to find Anglin. A U.S. magistrate in Missoula has given Anglin until Friday to prove his whereabouts.)
Wolman is not shy in his social media profile about being Jewish, so I asked him why he thought it was a good idea to represent Anglin, who heads an online clearinghouse of extreme anti-Semitic and racist thought.
Wolman, 41, declined an interview, but wrote me the following: “As a Jewish member of the team representing Andrew Anglin, I can understand why you are interested in talking with me about why I represent him and how that relates to my identity. However, I must, politely, decline the invitation. Although I do not shy away from media inquiries, I do not tend to make myself a subject of reporting.
“That said, as you will, undoubtedly, be reporting on me, I would direct your attention to our reference to the Aaron Sorkin film, “The American President.”
Wolman included a quote from that 1995 film in which the titular president says “America isn’t easy. America is advanced citizenship. You’ve gotta want it bad, ’cause it’s gonna put up a fight. It’s gonna say, ‘You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.’”
Added Wolman:
“I would spend a lifetime opposing what was said, but I will never allow anti-Semitism to derail my commitment to freedom of speech. In the words of Justice Holmes, ‘hard cases make bad law.’ Any restrictions the courts might set on the speech of a person whose speech you oppose will be undoubtedly applied, at some point down the road, to the speech of a person whose speech you support. If Andrew Anglin does not have freedom of speech, then neither does the JTA.”
The popular culture reference to a 1990s film was not a surprise: Wolman’s Twitter feed reveals his affection for films of that decade and the 1980s (he’s a fan of “Say Anything,” the classic 1989 John Cusack angsty teen drama). Wolman was a contestant on “Jeopardy” in 2004 — not the best period because he was up against Ken Jennings, the quiz show’s all-time champ.
Wolman and his law partner, Marc Randazza, consistently cast their decision to defend Anglin in not-easy-but-someone’s-gotta-do-it terms.
