An American Nazi Camp

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Though America is best known historically for its ties to Britain, this country is heavily influenced by its German immigrants and I don’t imagine that most of them were thrilled when America went to war twice with Germany.

REPORT:

American Nazi sympathists were certainly not unheard of during the Third Reich, but it can be shocking to see how established and organized they could be. Camp Siegfried was a bucolic bit of land in Yaphank, New York, a sleepy Suffolk County hamlet in eastern Long Island. It was established as an actual American Nazi summer camp in 1935 by the “Friends of New Germany”—an organization that became the German American Bund (American Nazis) just a year later in 1936. Many similar camps existed across the U.S. throughout the 1930s—Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Jersey were all home to large Bund camps. As you’d expect, the “campers” were a reactionary German Americans, vehemently opposed to socialism, unionism and even the reforms of The New Deal.
Publicly, the Bund behaved as if their American citizenship was not in conflict with their Germanophilia and Nazism, even flying the stars and stripes above the Nazi flag at their camps. In a stunning feat of rationalization, they argued that George Washington was actually the “first Fascist.” These gestures did little to assuage the fears of authority; the eerie, militarist images you see here were mostly taken by the NYPD, who was keeping a close eye on all Nazi-affiliated activity, and for good reason. In ‘39 the Bund led a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden that attracted roughly 20,000 Nazis and about 80,000 others. About 200 socialists attempted to disrupt the rally and the ensuing riots were met with 1,745 policeman—more cops than had ever been utilized for a single event in NYPD history.
Camp Siegfried was (finally) forcibly closed in 1941, when Germany formally declared war on the U.S. and allegiance to Hitler was no longer protected as free speech. Bund leader and naturalized citizen Fritz Julius Kuhn was imprisoned for tax evasion and embezzling from the Bund (they never wanted to prosecute him, the charges were apparently just an excuse to attack the organization). Without their camps or their leader, and facing increasing animosity from Nazi-hating Americans, the Bund withered.

I wonder how acceptable it was to be a Nazi in America in the 1930s? As opposed to being a Jew in America? As opposed to being a Japanese nationalist in America? It appears that you could be a Nazi sympathizer in America in the 1930s and gather with other Nazi sympathizers and the world didn’t crash down upon your shoulders.

What I find most interesting from the article is this sentence: “Publicly, the Bund behaved as if their American citizenship was not in conflict with their Germanophilia and Nazism, even flying the stars and stripes above the Nazi flag at their camps.”

It reminds me of the struggles American Jews have had in justifying and explaining their loyalties to their fellow Jews around the world and to the Jewish state of Israel with their American citizenship.

As a Jewish nationalist, I feel like I have easy access to the thinking and practices of other nationalists, be they Germans, Nazis, whites, asians, Japanese, blacks, etc.

Chaim Amalek: “Luke, apart from his antisemitism and declaration of war on the United States, was there anything about Hitler that you don’t approve of?”

Luke: “I think his actions from September 1939 onward were a disaster for Germany, for Jews, for Europeans, and for nationalists.”

The great moral downside of strong in-group identity (such as what the WWII Germans and Japanese possessed) is that out-groups may get slaughtered. I don’t think you can build a widespread and deep in-group identity without also building hostility to out-groups and this theorem applies to Jews as much as it does to non-Jews.

Chaim Amalek writes:

B’H’ for the atom bomb. Here, at least, on the morning of August 6, 1945, the Yidden (Oppenheimer, Szilard, Teller, etc.) were a very bright “light unto the world.”
When Moshiach comes, no one will have nuclear weapons but for us, and we will use them to perform dirt moving activities on the moon and Mars, where we will finally establish an independent homeland for those Palestinians who want one. But none of them will.
When Moshiach comes, David Letterman will have to stop with his ten best list, since every spot on it will be the same.
When Moshiach comes, dogs will use the toilets of the goyim and know how to flush them. But not in our homes, as Yidden will not sleep with or keep them.

Dennis Prager: America’s Decay Is Speeding Up

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Dennis Prager writes:

As one who loves America — not only because I am American, but even more so because I know (not believe, know) that the American experiment in forming a decent society has been the most successful in history — I write the following words in sadness: With few exceptions, every aspect of American life is in decline.
“Decay” is the word.
The Decline of the Family: Nearly half (48 percent) of American children are born to a mother who is not married. Forty-three percent of American children live without a father in the home. About 50 percent of Americans over 18 are married, compared to 72 percent in 1960. Americans are having so few children that the fertility rate fell to a record low 62.9 births per 1,000 women in 2013. And in an increasing number of states, there are now more deaths than births.
The Decline of Education: Compared to nearly all of American history, the average American school teaches much less about important subjects such as American history, English grammar, literature, music and art. Instead, schools are teaching much more about “social justice,” environmentalism and sex.
Any of us who receive emails from large numbers of Americans can attest to the deteriorating education — including among those who attended college — in written English. In sophisticated commentary on websites as well as in email, one encounters the most basic errors: “it’s” instead of “its;” “their” instead of “there;” “then” instead of “than,” etc.
Most universities have become secular seminaries for the dissemination of Leftism. Moreover, aside from indoctrination, students usually learn little. One can earn a BA in English at UCLA, for example, without having read a single Shakespeare play.
To the extent that American history is taught, beginning in high school and often earlier, American history is presented as the history of an immoral nation characterized by slavery, racism, colonialism, imperialism, economic exploitation, and militarism — not of a country that, more than any other, has been the beacon of freedom to mankind, and the country that has spent more treasure and spilled more blood to liberate other peoples than any other nation.
The End of Male and Female: Whatever one’s position on same-sex marriage, one must acknowledge that at the core of the argument for this redefinition of marriage is that gender doesn’t matter. Marriage is marriage, and gender means nothing, the argument goes. So, too, whether children are raised by mother and father or two mothers or two fathers doesn’t matter. A father has nothing unique to offer a child that a mother can’t provide and vice versa.

Dennis Prager does not use this column to explain what is causing America’s decay, but judging by his body of work, he holds that America is declining because it has lost its unique Judeo-Christian heritage. I would ask, why is America losing its Judeo-Christian heritage? I would attribute that primarily to the loss of its European dominance.

When America was 90% white, it did not have these problems. Since America started importing large numbers of non-whites beginning with the 1965 Immigration Act, America has changed (in some ways for the good, in other ways for the bad).

Every major Jewish organization, includes the Orthodox Union and Agudath Israel, supports immigration amnesty, thus hastening America’s decay (making legal residents of about 20 million people who came here illegally).

In which parts of America is family solidarity the weakest? In black and latino life. So why would America want more of this? East Asians, incidentally, have greater familiar solidarity than whites. From National Review, Oct. 11, 2013:

With little fanfare, the federal government has posted its annual compilation of birth data, including out-of-wedlock births. Here’s the bad news (essentially unchanged from last year): Preliminary data indicate that 40.7 percent of all 2012 births were out-of-wedlock, which is appalling, and there are vast differences among racial and ethnic groups. Among non-Hispanic blacks, the figure is highest, at 72.2 percent; for American Indians/Alaska Natives, it’s 66.9 percent; 53.5 percent for Hispanics; 29.4 percent for non-Hispanic whites; and a mere 17.1 percent for Asians/Pacific Islanders.
As I noted last year, it is, of course, no surprise that the groups with the highest illegitimacy rates are the groups that are struggling economically, educationally, with crime, and so forth. Here’s a modest proposal: Why don’t the NAACP and similar organizations take all the money they use to challenge and complain about the standards that their groups (in the aggregate) don’t meet when it comes to university admissions, selective high-school admissions, school discipline, mortgage loans, police and firefighter tests, felon-disenfranchisement laws, employment policies that look at criminal records, etc., etc., and use that money to figure out ways to bring down the illegitimacy rates that drive all these other disparities?

Heather MacDonald writes in 2006:

Unless the life chances of children raised by single mothers suddenly improve, the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population over the next couple of decades does not bode well for American social stability. Hispanic immigrants bring near–Third World levels of fertility to America, coupled with what were once thought to be First World levels of illegitimacy. (In fact, family breakdown is higher in many Hispanic countries than here.) Nearly half of the children born to Hispanic mothers in the U.S. are born out of wedlock, a proportion that has been increasing rapidly with no signs of slowing down. Given what psychologists and sociologists now know about the much higher likelihood of social pathology among those who grow up in single-mother households, the Hispanic baby boom is certain to produce more juvenile delinquents, more school failure, more welfare use, and more teen pregnancy in the future.
The government social-services sector has already latched onto this new client base; as the Hispanic population expands, so will the demands for a larger welfare state. Since conservative open-borders advocates have yet to acknowledge the facts of Hispanic family breakdown, there is no way to know what their solution to it is. But they had better come up with one quickly, because the problem is here—and growing.
The dimensions of the Hispanic baby boom are startling. The Hispanic birthrate is twice as high as that of the rest of the American population. That high fertility rate—even more than unbounded levels of immigration—will fuel the rapid Hispanic population boom in the coming decades. By 2050, the Latino population will have tripled, the Census Bureau projects. One in four Americans will be Hispanic by mid-century, twice the current ratio. In states such as California and Texas, Hispanics will be in the clear majority. Nationally, whites will drop from near 70 percent of the total population in 2000 to just half by 2050. Hispanics will account for 46 percent of the nation’s added population over the next two decades, the Pew Hispanic Center reports.
But it’s the fertility surge among unwed Hispanics that should worry policymakers. Hispanic women have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country—over three times that of whites and Asians, and nearly one and a half times that of black women, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Every 1,000 unmarried Hispanic women bore 92 children in 2003 (the latest year for which data exist), compared with 28 children for every 1,000 unmarried white women, 22 for every 1,000 unmarried Asian women, and 66 for every 1,000 unmarried black women. Forty-five percent of all Hispanic births occur outside of marriage, compared with 24 percent of white births and 15 percent of Asian births. Only the percentage of black out-of-wedlock births—68 percent—exceeds the Hispanic rate. But the black population is not going to triple over the next few decades.
As if the unmarried Hispanic birthrate weren’t worrisome enough, it is increasing faster than among other groups. It jumped 5 percent from 2002 to 2003, whereas the rate for other unmarried women remained flat. Couple the high and increasing illegitimacy rate of Hispanics with their higher overall fertility rate, and you have a recipe for unstoppable family breakdown.
The only bright news in this demographic disaster story concerns teen births. Overall teen childbearing in the U.S. declined for the 12th year in a row in 2003, having dropped by more than a third since 1991. Yet even here, Hispanics remain a cause for concern. The rate of childbirth for Mexican teenagers, who come from by far the largest and fastest-growing immigrant population, greatly outstrips every other group. The Mexican teen birthrate is 93 births per every 1,000 girls, compared with 27 births for every 1,000 white girls, 17 births for every 1,000 Asian girls, and 65 births for every 1,000 black girls. To put these numbers into international perspective, Japan’s teen birthrate is 3.9, Italy’s is 6.9, and France’s is 10. Even though the outsize U.S. teen birthrate is dropping, it continues to inflict unnecessary costs on the country, to which Hispanics contribute disproportionately.

Should Jews Take Jewish Names?

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

I found this post on FB: “Our sages teach us that every letter has a divine power that affects the creation, so much more so the power of words.
Therefore the soul of a Jew with a xtian /muslim name is in constant conflict, and those people should consider changing their names to holy ones in Hebrew, asap.”

Some of the responses were pretty good:

* What about most of Chazals names that were Greek? Or Mordechai and Esther who had Babylonian gods’ names, Marduk and Ishtar.

* And all the hakhamim from the middle east, Saadia Gaon, Abdullah Somekh.

PROFESSOR TAKES MEDICAL LEAVE AFTER PRO-ISRAEL FACEBOOK POST LEADS TO ‘VICIOUS HATE MAIL’ CAMPAIGN

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Breitbart:

Andrew Pessin, Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College, is the latest casualty in the campus-based culture wars. Dr. Pessin is a well-liked and much published professor, self-described as the “only Jewish professor on campus who openly advocates for Israel.” And now, for remarks made during last summer’s Gaza war, he faces an attack from Palestinian supporters seeking to silence pro-Israel stances on campus.
Pessin tells Breitbart News he believes he was set up by “a Muslim student and an Islamic Studies colleague” who worked in concert. They dug up one of Professor Pessin’s Facebook entries, one he posted during the August 2014 war in Gaza, the war in which Israeli soldiers uncovered and destroyed countless underground terror-tunnels which opened into Israel and were to be used in a mass attack against Israeli civilians. Referring to a leadership that purposely exposed its own civilians to death merely for propaganda purposes, and whose holy warriors attacked mainly Israeli civilians, Pessin compared this leadership to a “rabid pit bull.”
One student, Lamiya Khandaker, whose parents are from Bangladesh and who is also the Chair of Diversity and Equity for the campus’s Student Government Association, wrote to Professor Pessin. He immediately clarified that he was referring to the Hamas leadership and ideology, not to Palestinians; and, upon the advice of the administration, he apologized to Khandaker and deleted the post. Too late, too little.

D. comments: “By hiding out from the pressure, he’s showing these bastards their tactics are working. Had I known this professor and what was going on, I would have suggested he hire a PI/hacker to dig into the personal lives and FB posts of his attackers and hire a PR firm to use that info to publicly expose THEM as the racists. Not just in the local paper, but on national and international news. I’d also suggest he involves law enforcement to arrest them for inciting violence. There should be pro-Israel organizations set up for arranging the above in college campuses across the country. Not just arrange protests with signs and flyers. The tables need to be turned on these Islamofascists who have declared a jihad on our educational systems.”

Luke: Good thing Jews never do this to people who criticize Jews and the Jewish state.

Ken: No. Not John Mearsheimer. Are you serious, Luke? Why are you like this?

Luke: I consider Israel to the most advanced civilization in the Middle East and the only one I would like to live in. I think John J. Mearsheimer is the preeminent political scientist of our generation. I welcome his critiques of Israel and the Israel lobby. I never thought of the perspective he presented in the above essay and now that I have read it, I am glad for that perspective.

Dan: Luke, are you really quoting a proven liar?

Luke: Throwing names is not a valid form of argument. I welcome information that shows errors in facts and logic. I am sure John J. Mearsheimer makes mistakes. I disagree with some of what he writes. I think overall this critique is fair.

Musings

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

* I get it that young women must tell people that our relationship is purely platonic, but why do that have to add “LOL”?

* There’s a type of girl who’s just really nice to everyone, smiles at everyone, is courteous to everyone, says hi to everyone. I love this type of girl. I guess I’m attracted to co-dependents aka nurses.

* Luke to a buddy: “We’re the wimps. We gave up our power and surrendered to women. It’s not their fault that they are so manipulative and acquisitive. Evolution made them this way. Women tend to lack agency. They do what their friends do.”
Buddy: “What do my wife’s friends do? They get divorced.”

* I’ve often seen that when an attractive woman gets a divorce, it sets off a destabilizing force in her shul. Many married guys start hitting on her and think about dumping their wives. Other couples divorce. It seems like divorce is contagious. If a man has friends who cheat, he’ll likely cheat on his wife.

B. says: “In my little shtiebel back in America our community was turned upside down when a married man slept with the wife of another man in the shul. Everyone was shell shocked. The man who cheated moved away with his family. The woman who cheated for divorced. We were all traumatized by the whole thing.”

* These days a dozen adults get hushed so one baby can sleep.

Brad: What happened in the old days?

Luke Ford: I assume that adults carried on and babies were not as sheltered from adult noise?

Brad Salzman: I think you are right. What changed?

Luke Ford: I don’t think things changed in the 70s, I think they started changing in the 80s or 90s, and kids were allowed to run the lives and homes of parents much more. I think I might attribute this change primarily to TV and movies which usually portray children as smarter than their parents.

Brad Salzman: Interesting hypothesis. I listened to a really interesting book that dealt with this subject called Scream-Free Parenting. He talks a lot about how in our culture we have placed our children above their parents, to the detriment of everyone.

* I asked my therapist how I could get over my pure annoyance with somebody and instead develop a more compassionate perspective. He suggested I begin with compassion and empathy for myself and maybe that empathy will spread out to include others.

* I propose that we go around and test reactions to the American flag. For those who don’t tear up, we ask them to leave America.

* On my morning walk, I often see old Japanese ladies weeding their lawn with a diligence that no other race exhibits.

* Reform Jewish teenage boy goes to Catholic church for the first time Easter Sunday (for his shiksa girlfriend) and comes back and says, “I was scared. There was all this talk about dying for your sins. And the Jews did this and the Jews did that. And there were all these bloody idols everywhere. I went to a Buddhist temple and it was fine. It made sense. It was like temple.”

* I rarely argue with anyone online. If someone challenges my facts or my logic, I may respond, but as all other types of argument are not honorable, I ignore them.

* Jews can triumph over discrimination, but what about Mexicans? How many hospitals or universities were founded by Mexicans or Hondurans?

* Bibi Netanyahu now is willing to negotiate with Iran rather than just make demands. As this is Israel’s opening position, it must be willing to accept something less.

D. replies: Actually, we spill out some of the wine from our Seder cup on Passover to express our sadness over innocent Egyptians dying.

And the joy we express on Purim is over the Jewish people being spared annihilation. The deaths of Haman’s allies were just a consequence of their choice to side with evil.

Christopher Donnellan: Jewish holidays are usually celebrations of triumph over their enemies and adversity.

Daniel: Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Succoth, Simchas Torah and Shavuos are some of the most important holidays and have nothing to with fighting and overcoming and enemy.

Christopher Donnellan: Purim and Passover certainly do.

Daniel: Purim, like Chanuka, is a minor holiday. Passover includes an aspect of triumphing over an enemy. But it is not the main cause of celebration. We are celebrating God taking us away from serving human masters so that we may serve Him. We don’t rejoice in the deaths of our enemies.

Fast & Furious 7

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* One thing that occurred to me this weekend while I was watching “Furious 7″ was how these films essentially present the multiracial utopia our elites keep promising us. These movies take place not in the world as we know it, but in the alternate-universe multi-hued America that a lot of people were expecting Obama to usher in. Here there is no racism or white privilege, and no tawdry black misbehavior. Michael Brown and George Zimmerman do not exist here. All men here are truly brothers, and all races relate to each other with an egalitarian familiarity that’s actually quite moving. It’s a world where a black guy is a brilliant computer hacker, a blond, blue-eyed white guy has authentic street cred, and a vaguely multiracial guy serves as the charismatic figure who unites everyone.

The thing about this alternate-timeline America is that it doesn’t look like a kind of world the Left would love. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it looks like it would be a nightmare for the sort of culturally conservative, traditionalist whites that the Left hates. It’s full of rap music and tattoos and exotic-looking brown people, many whom project an ambiguous sexuality. But it looks like it would be an equal nightmare for much of the intellectual Left. It’s still a world of loud music and and fast, obnoxious cars where the good-looking alpha males call all the shots and have all the fun and the women exist mainly for sexual gratification. This is still a world where nerdy beta-male Vox editors would spend their high school years getting wedgies from the jocks, and bookish, unattractive women would still fear ending up as childless spinsters with five cats.

A telling detail: A Tesla Model S does not feature anywhere among the cars glorified by the film. Car nuts will know that a Model S is capable of laying down respectable numbers that would easily put it in the same league with the gasoline-powered monsters on display here. But love it or hate it, the Model S is still perceived as a supercar for nerdy white beta males. It doesn’t scream Alpha Male like a rumbling V8.

This is also a world that seems perfectly happy with American global hegemony. One of the central MacGuffins of the film is a super-surveillance device that allows the government to spy on everybody in the world at all times. At no point that I can recall does anybody in the film express ambivalence or concerns about the US government having access to this kind of device; the chief problem everybody has is that the Wrong People are using it. There is no Chomsky-type Leftist handwringing about the immorality of American power.

Oh, and law enforcement in this world is administered by another vaguely multiracial guy according to the principles laid down by noted legal theorist Dirty Harry. Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin would have fared poorly under his constabulary policies.

As Steve has been fond of saying recently, this does not look like a world that would be Good for the Jews. Guys who are still steamed because their grandpa couldn’t get into that WASP country club aren’t going to enjoy a world where Abu Dhabi is the party capital of the globe.

But judging from its fan base, this is a world that the vast majority of the multicultural Obama coalition finds wildly appealing. I saw “Furious 7″ in the same theater where I saw “American Sniper,” and though both showings were packed, there was not a great deal of demographic overlap. (Many of the folks I saw at “American Sniper” were older people who had clearly not been in a movie theater in years; they kept looking around and whispering stuff about how big the seats were.)

America’s elites keep telling us that the teeming brown hordes are our unavoidable destiny. If this is the world those masses want, white males aren’t the ones who ought to be worried. If Paul Walker is any indication, competent, cool-headed white guys (*cough*billclinton*cough*) will continue to do just fine in that world. It’s the staff of the New Republic or the New York Times who will find it a scary place to live.

Russians & Blacks

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Chicago Tribune Baltic correspondent Donald Day writing in 1942: In my earlier contacts with the Russians I was impressed with the great similarity existing between them and the American Negro. Both races are artistic. They have natural gifts for music and dancing. They have a childish love for adornment. Just as the Russian peasant will hang up his new pair of boots beneath the ikon in the comer of the wall to admire them better, so the Negro will place his new shoes on a table to contemplate them with the rapture of a child.

It is remarkable fact that the best bass voices in the world are to be found among the Russians and Negroes. Both are collective minded, they like to live in groups. Both are lazy and not inclined to work except under compulsion. They are both irresponsible and unreliable. If you send either a Russian or a Negro out to do something for you, you are never certain that it will be done the way you want it to be. This sounds childish but they are childish in many ways. They have many of the good and bad characteristics of children.

The mentality of the Russians and the American Negroes has been affected by centuries of slavery. Both were freed from slavery about the same time. The Negro in 1863, the Russian 1858-63. These generations of servitude developed an aptitude for petty intrigue and duplicity, which, coupled with their instability, spells tragedy. This comparison could be continued and broadened, but in defense of the Negro I must report that he has a higher conception of honor than the Russian, probably because in his homeland he most generally saw high standards of honesty and honor.

Israel Sells Black Illegals Back To Africa

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Luke Ford

Chaim Amalek writes: “What I really love about this is that America’s many Jewish liberals have nothing to say about it. Which suggests a solution to our hispanic problem. Deport them to Israel, and then Israel can deport them to Rwanda. To pay for it Israel could sell special “diversity bonds” to cover bribes and freight charges. Yidden might even make a few dollars off the trade, which would really help in paying the kids’ tuition bills for yeshiva.”

Steve Sailer writes: By the way, the United States could easily pay Cuba to take refugees off our hands. Why subsidize Somalis to live in expensive, cold Minneapolis when the average government worker in warm Cuba gets by on $20 per month? Why pay Chechens like the Tsarnaevs to sit around in gloomy, depressingly scholarly Cambridge, MA, when they could be having a blast in Havana for $20 per month?

Here’s a question I’ve been looking for an answer to without much success: Considering that American politicians visit Israel all the time, has any American politician ever taken a fact-finding junket to Israel to see how their successful border fences and deportation systems work?

If, say Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) announced he wanted to visit Israel to see how a serious country takes care of immigration security, what would happen?

Mad Men As A Jewish Show

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Defining moment in Mad Men for me: Don Draper, highly paid ad exec, cleans his own gutters. And I think there was a scene where Henry, Betty’s new husband, political operative and county executive or some such, mowed the lawn.

Now there are Guatemalans for that.

Freeing up the Dons and the Henrys to do what really needs to be done.

* Oddly I find a lot of Jews here in London referring to WASPs, the US still sets the trends that then flood here. I just consider myself English or British, what relevance does WASP have here? The last context I heard it in was in how the denunciator had heard his old private school, an explicitly Church of England school ironically enough, didn’t have as many Jewish pupils as when he was there but was now full of ghastly WASPs, it offended him greatly. Traditionally Jews in Britain have been relatively better assimilated but I get the impression they are increasingly being influenced by US Jewish mentality.

As someone who works in the financial sector in London the only companies I never apply to are Jewish firms, a phenomenon never noticed publicly let alone criticised. What discrimination and prejudice that exists is pretty much all one way.

* I think resentment is always more a manifestation of one’s internal state than a reflection of genuine slights suffered. For instance the resentful short guy, or the resentful mentally-ill person. My experience with resentful people has always been that they lack the ability to fit in happily, even if they want to, so they have to look for (or invent) reasons to justify their maladjustment. Often physical.

Matthew Weiner is 5’7″ and looks like a evil little gremlin. I usually look at people’s physical appearance before I evaluate what they have to say nowadays.

* If you read the article, it’s all about obsessions with Jews. About which do you obsess more: the Holocaust (Samuels) or that most of your past girlfriends (probably the wife, too) were banging the HS QB and his friends while you were masturbating in a dark corner with a flashlight and the latest Penthouse issue (Weiner). In both cases, Jewish emasculation is extreme no matter how strong Israel is or how many shiksas you could buy or are desperate to sleep with you now.

* During my poor Southern high school years, my friends and I picked crops after school. Everyone we knew was working class or white trash. Regional doctors and lawyers were celebrities. Nobody felt slighted by their life circumstances because the expression of that indignation would be unseemly, what with all the unfortunate people in the world. Who were we to complain and who would care if we did?

Imagine growing up in beautiful Los Angeles, before CA was ruined by immigration, with a renowned doctor/professor for a father and a lawyer for a mother (who could afford to stay home if she wanted), with housekeepers and private schools and leisure and your own books in your bedroom and fresh fruit in the kitchen. And then to become fixated because you couldn’t have everything.

Mad Men deserves all the praise it gets and Weiner seems like an insightful and decent guy. But where the hell does this attitude, this expectation, come from? It’s beyond being spoiled or pampered. It’s pathological entitlement with a twist of paranoia and it’s a mental condition that doesn’t seem to exist in even the most privileged WASP culture.

* You can live in the richest town in the country, you can have a doctor and lawyer for parents, you can have your own better country club, you can be the academic star of your prep school—but if you happen also to be 5 feet 4 and with a curved nose and thick glasses, then none of it matters. You’ll be the Jewish outsider until you die.

P.S. Making Jon Hamm your alter ego doesn’t help!

* By coincidence, I picked up Robert Evans’ 1994 memoir (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”) at the library, recently, and I have been reading about his tenure as the head of Paramount, under Charlie Bluhdorn. (Evans claims, at one point, that he never knew whether Bluhdorn was Jewish; yet, he has Bluhdorn dropping Yiddish words that I never have heard before– which would strike me as highly unlikely, coming from an Austrian Catholic, who just happened to leave Europe for America, as a child or adolescent, in the 1930s!?!)

Evans writes (p. 16-17) that on the evening of December 7, 1941, a family meeting was held at his richest uncle’s home– an eighteen-room penthouse, overlooking Central Park, which Evans, then 11 years old, attended with his father:

“That night, all they were interested in was, first, how to keep their kids from going to war; second, how to expand their wealth; and third, how to protect it.

“We were the first to leave. As we were going down in the elevator, I remember, Pop said in a voice barely above a whisper, ‘The wealthy will get wealthier and the young will die.’”

* I get so tired of the Jewish grudge against whites and America. If whites and WASPs wanted to get together and keep Jews out of the country, and out of power, they could have easily done this. Instead, Jews were allowed into the country and allowed in elite circles. Jews are a privileged class in America and use phony claims of discrimination to justify their own grudges and discrimination and to solidify a grip on power.

Of course Jews have lots of power in the media. From my lowly position way on the outside, that much is obvious. It’s also obvious what movies like Caddyshack and Meatballs were about. Fox News, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh aren’t all Isrul all the time for nothing, and there is a reason that NPR is heavily staffed by Jews, and the programming heavily focused on Jews and Jewish issues. Instead of constant hostility, derision and opposition, I think Jews owe WASPs/America a big thank you and some cooperation, but I’m not holding my breath.

* The following is another amazing production of Red Ice Radio that pretty much demolishes Michael Weiner’s argument that Jews are merely overrepresented in Hollywood with limited impact on the culture as a whole and are no way hostile to historical American nation.

Warning it is 1:46 minutes long, but worth every minute of watching it. If you got time to waste on Mad Men then you definitely got time for this.

Also very worthwhile from Red Ice.

Saint George and the “White Whore”

Insight – Anchorman 2 Review & The Politics of Will Ferrell

* I just the last few weeks started watching Mad Men.

It’s been a really disappointing experience. Yes, the period detail is pretty fascinating. But the entire energy of the show comes from its never ending reinterpretation of the sixties in the light of our current Zeitgeist. Every episode and every dramatic moment is animated by a question of: how are women being treated? how are blacks being treated? How are Jews being treated? You can hear in your head the invisible audience gasping at every such moment: OMG, did you hear what he said? I am so disgusted, and superior to that!

If you take away that cheap thrill of moral superiority, what’s left of the series? Anything?

Hollywood seems to make its living these days trucking in what I would call “moral porn” — playing to our lowest moral impulses. The standard method is to take an earlier era, or removed subculture (such as Southern whites, or Evangelicals), and project today’s standard “correct” morality — however anachronistically — onto that setting, dividing the good and evil people in that setting by how well they conform to our morality. If, say, Napoleon is supposed to be a good guy in a movie, you will know because he has a black guy whom he treats with respect because he’s a great artillery officer; if he’s supposed to be a bad guy, he’ll talk about how those blacks are just animals.

I find this kind of relentless sermonizing in art repulsive; I just can’t stomach it.

But I can only conclude that I’m a pretty rare bird, because stuff like this sells like nobody’s business.

* I’ve got to say there are days when I get sick of hearing rich, connected people whining about how hard they think they had it at their elite school.

* Steve, Thank you so much for writing this. For me, it’s just so surrealistic to read something like this. I’m in my mid-40s, reasonably successful, English Catholic. I’m decidedly not ethnocentric and by nature very laid back and accepting. Even of Indianans. But My God, reading this, it feels like Weiner is thoroughly hateful, paranoid, and deeply resentful, although his upbringing was way more privileged than anyone I grew up with. With all his luck and privilege and advantages, it’s like he’s just begging for me to hate him. As if my hatred of him will somehow elevate him to an even higher station in life? What is wrong with him? SMH.

* Growing up around Philadelphia in the ’70s, this was the feeling that I had – that there was a WASP aristocracy that had at one time been dominant and that they still had their clubs and their strange customs (bright colored pants with whales on them, speaking with the Locust Valley Lockjaw accent) but that they didn’t really run things anymore. The mayor was Italian (Rizzo), the main newspaper was owned by a Jew (Annenberg), etc. WASPs still had prominent roles but not dominant ones and they were clearly fading while other groups were rising. Local WASP institutions such as Budd (maker of railcars) were teetering on the brink of extinction, while the University of Pennsylvania (heavily Jewish from the 1920s onward) was rising. Campbell Soup was not setting the world on fire. So it never occurred to me that they were a threat or that I somehow had to take revenge upon them or destroy their stupid clubs which I had no desire to join any more than I wanted to join the Knights of Columbus.

Weiner’s whole shtick is strange. As he points out, Jews and the movie industry in effect created the Los Angeles that we know. There was no there there when they got there, just a small Midwestern city transplanted to a better climate. LA was not even in the top 10 – it was smaller than Milwaukee and Cincinnati and out where the studios were built was ranchland that they could buy up cheap. Beverly Hills was not incorporated until 1914 and in 1920 it had 674 residents. Defeating the WASP aristocracy of LA was a feat comparable to taking over Minneapolis.

* Maybe many Jews resent WASPS because WASPs are Christians AND for having created an amazingly decent and successful country. America represents for them a repudiation of what they have been taught about the goyim i.e. that the goyim are really unintelligent genocidaires.

They don’t resent Irish and Italian Catholics anywhere as much probably because they are fond of them -they grew up with them as underdogs in the immigrant tenements of New York. In fact in NYC, the Jews, Irish and Italians have always worked together to form the formidable coalition that displaced the WASP power structure of NY, while at the same time, taking care to keep the hapless (and socially and economically useless) Puerto Ricans and Blacks in their place. I live in NYC, and I am always amazed at how these three ethnic whites get along famously, but I guess it helps to have a common enemy they hold in deep contempt -Blacks. (full disclosure: I am an african muslim “immigrant” myself)

Of course in this coalition, for the most parts, the leaders are mostly Jews, and the cops that crack minority heads are irish or italian. Think obese cigarette seller Eric Garner of “I can’t breathe” and the cop Pantaleo. Blacks try to fight back (well, at least they try), and hence the formidable Al Sharpton. But NY Jews also have a strange sympathetic side towards Blacks , so even as they get their moderate IQ irish/italian cop goons to crack some heads, they are also providing blacks and hispanics with assistance-jobs, subsidized housing, and such. Blacks know this, and well, they don’t really “Fight the Power” too hard. They know they have it tougher in the WASP lands of the South.

Anyway, the reason Jews are so politically powerful is because they have the tactical support of a lot of non-WASP gentiles, AND the frightened dysfunctional minorities who need them for their welfare. Non WASP gentiles support comes more in the form of being neutral and not defending the WASP Establishment and the South. So the historical America becomes comprised. Oh and by the way, it does not help that the WASPs in the south dumbly oppose unions even though unions are job protection for the working and lower middle class white ethnic Catholics and jews. Southern Whites are so unreasonable they drive everyone straight into the hands of liberal Jews. (Also, why do they care if promiscuous women want to use birth control, or abort? Another discussion).

I still can not figure out completely why American Jews have such a DEEP hatred of WASPs -and hence historical America-though.
I mean we all resent our betters to a certain extent, but we don’t try to destroy them- we even try to emulate them (even if we don’t admit it).

* I know little of German history, but if the Jews in Germany before World War II carried on there as they do now here in America–at the forefront of a movement hostile to the gentile majority and undermining of its position and traditions–it would go a long way toward explaining the awful turn of events that overtook the Jews during that war.

I hate thinking that might be true, being myself a Jew, and a proud one at that.

* That’s the Jewish ideology in a nutshell:

Everything must be open to the Jews. Everything. Anything else is double-plus bad–racist!, anti-Semitic! If any other group builds anything that is not open to the Jews … evil, evil, evil!

But Jewish, separatism, ethno-centrism, ethnic-networking … that’s all fine.

The somewhat strange thing is it’s basically impossible to find a (prominent) Jew who can deal with the *obvious* reality here honestly.

Christianity, Islam, Buddhism are all universals religions.

It is Judaism that is uniquely a *racial religion*. And one that is explicitly separatist\rejectionist, with all sorts of practices and sanctions to prevent Jewish mingling with and contamination by the goyim.

I have no idea what my ancient Irish, English and Germanic ancestors were up to 2000 years back, but there weren’t Christians. (Based on my predilections, i’d guess something Wickermanish involving big fires!) When Christianity came … they went with the flow of their fellow countrymen. Simply partook of the new dominant religion of their lands.

Jews are very proud of themselves, their history, but don’t seem to quite want to except responsibility, that rather than being held apart by the majority, they–their ancestors–*chose* to reject, stay separate from the religion and culture of the majority. Rather than integrate into the culture of the places they lived, the Jews wanted\chose to stay separate, to instead keep themselves racially pure and practice a religion of racial supremacy\separatism while looting the goy majority. And what makes them Jews now is that they successfully kept up that separation for 2000 years. (The few Jews that were insufficiently racially separatist\supremacist melted into the majority and are *my* ancestors not theirs.)

* Globo-oligarchs control the media.

It’s like this. Everyone owns his or her own TV set, but what comes through every TV set is not controlled by those who own the TV sets. It’s controlled by those who control the TV stations, and it just so happens that a handful of globo-oligarchs own all the media. So, 300 million people may have 300 million TV sets, but a mere 5 media conglomerations, all of them owned or controlled by globo-oligarchs(and their favorite allies the homos), decide what 300 million people see.

That is power.

So, when everyone gets ‘my TV’, he or she is really surrendering his or her mind, as does everyone else who owns a TV set, to the Globo Big Brother and Homo Big Sister who control the handful of media corporations. And the globo-oligarchs use the TV and mass media to brainwash us and to command us to BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GLOBO AND HOMO.

So, US is all about AIPAC and GAY-PAC.
Is it any wonder that 75% of Americans sympathize more with Israelis than with Palestinians even though Zionists are oppressing the Palestinians? Is it any wonder that 80% of millennials and 55% of Americans are for ‘gay marriage’ when their minds have been warped by mass media controlled by globo and homo oligarchs?

I am the last one who won’t bend over and collaborate.

* Maybe Mrs. Weiner encourages Mr. Weiner to dislike gentiles, especially dislike young blonde gentile adventuresses such as January Jones and other starlets he comes in contact with daily.

* There are a lot of of very beautiful Jewish adventuresses these days. Many of them are of Russian and Persian Jewish origin. The Russian girls are particularly adventuresome. That’s a lesson Mel Gibson found out the hard way when he dated a Russian Jewish woman (Oksana Grigorieva,).

Speaking of Weiners, Anthony Weiner learned a lesson about Jewish adventuresses just a few years ago.

* Mad Men is written and produced by people who were didn’t become adults until decades after the period in which it is set and who don’t seem to know anything about what things were like in those days. In a way, that’s odd, because they could just watch their studios’ archives of movies and tv shows that were made back then, which fairly accurately document the prevailing attitudes and mores of the time.

I have a close friend, Jewish in his 70′s, who was actually in the advertising business in New York during the late-1950′s and early-1960′s. He told me that he tried to watch the show but found it too preposterous.

He said the one thing that it got most right was the smoking, drinking and reasonable working hours. Most people smoked and they smoked everywhere without complaint by non-smokers. The three-martini lunch was a reality, and my friend swears that it was routine for ad men to return to their offices after lunch (especially if it was with clients), close the door, tell their secretaries to hold their calls, sleep on the couch until 4:00 or 4:30, when it was almost time to go home, and then resume drinking in the club car on the way back to the suburbs, arriving home in time for the cocktail hour. If a man could hold his liquor, he wasn’t viewed as an alcoholic, he was just convivial.

The thing that Mad Men got most preposterously wrong was its portrayal of women. Contrary to the show’s notions: Wife-beating was considered disgraceful. Treating secretaries and the typing pool like prostitutes would have gotten a man fired and probably blackballed from the industry. Nice girls really didn’t put out until they were married, with rare, unfortunate exceptions, and men didn’t expect them to. No ad man would have dreamed of refusing to work with a high-paying potential client because she was a woman. Men liked women, women liked men, and they enjoyed each other’s company.

Likewise, to a somewhat lesser extent, for the show’s displays of overt anti-Semitism and racism, both of which were already déclassé by the time in which the show was set.

* Jews have a hand in leading these post-America and post-modern kinds of thinkings (e.g. Cultural Marxism, etc) and are at their most effective when they make others think that they wield no direct influence at all whatsoever, or if they do, it tends to be equivalent to other every ethnic and/or is no different than anyone else.

Pay no attention to that group behind the curtain. They don’t have any relevance at all over the culture, the media, academia, business, etc. They alllll just happen to be at the higher echelons of power and prestige.

All just one great giant coincidence that continues to occur with each succeeding passing generation.

* Remember Steven Spielberg says that being teased as a child informed his later work. Apparently someone called him a Jew on the school playground–and a lot of Jews don’t realise that children can just be mean. They’re actually equal-opportunity meanies–whatever you got, they’ll hit you with.

* I have a lot of fun discussing what I call ‘entertainment propaganda’ with friends and family. These are all people who by most objective standards are intelligent and accomplished individuals.

I always ask, as subtly as possible, if they caught various subtexts and references in whatever example we’re discussing. 99% of the time, they didn’t, which means the propaganda was effective. The other 1% of the time, they pass off as trivial and irrelevant.

People have no idea–no idea–why they think what they think.

* Steve Sailer writes: I’ve watched 6 hours of “Mad Men,” 6 hours of “Breaking Bad,” 6 hours of “Downton Abbey.” These are good shows, but I get bored with dramas after, oh, say, 6 hours. That’s enough to get what the creator’s world is about, and I don’t really care about what happens to the characters since they aren’t real. In general, I figure out the artist’s tricks pretty fast and get bored, which is why I like 2 hour movies: because pretty soon they are over.

I watched 9 hours of “Lord of the Rings” because it was extremely good, but the last half hour was kind of a drag.

Torah Talks: Passover (4-7-15)

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Luke Ford

* A traditional Passover seder takes a minimum of three hours with lots of long readings. If you are with people you love, it’s fun. If you are not with people you love, it is hard time. You won’t eat before 10pm at a traditional seder after two hours of recitation and ritual.

* My secular Jewish friend has this theory that Jews come from space aliens, they were touched by the hand of God, and they were given a task by God to deliver a message to the world so for that they were given extra industry and industriousness. He does not mention anything about a more flexible moral code.

* My secular friends had a seder, 50% Gentile. They spent 30 minutes going around the table saying what they were grateful for and then the hosts said, yay God, let’s eat.

* “Matthew Weiner [of Mad Men] is 5’7″ and looks like a evil little gremlin. I usually look at people’s physical appearance before I evaluate what they have to say nowadays.”

* I let a Jew eat one of my hardboiled eggs and I get the 10th degree from him at high volume down the hallway about how fresh are they, who boiled them, why don’t they peel right, am I going to end up in the UCLA emergency room?

Jews do a lot of complaining in the Torah reading for the seventh day of Passover: They said to Moses: “Are there no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you done this to us, to carry us out of Egypt?

“Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve Egypt? For it would have been better for us to serve Egypt, than to die in the wilderness.”

* “As the children of Israel march forward, the divine cloud which had been leading them moves to their rear, interposing between them and the Egyptians.” It’s important that Jews use lots of double talk to obfuscate what they are up to and let that rhetoric be a cloud between them and the goyim.

* “What shall we drink?” complain the people.

I couldn’t find kosher for Passover diet caffeine-free sodas I like to drink. All the kosher for Passover Coke had caffeine.

* “If you will diligently hearken to the voice of G-d… all the diseases which I have brought upon Egypt, I shall not bring upon you, for I am G-d your healer.”

Yeah, if you abstain from homo sex and sharing drug needles, you’ll be less likely to get AIDS. If you refrain from slutting around, you’ll be less likely to get shot and to get sued and to get nasty STDs.

* “Would we had died by the hand of G-d in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole community with hunger.”

* Amalek are the bad guys because they picked on the weakest and sickest of the Israelites. Why would they not? If you want to fight a guerrilla war, you go after the vulnerable.

* G-d led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines (13:17)

Chabad: The tribe of Ephraim had erred and departed from Egypt 30 years before the destined time, with the result that three hundred thousand of them were slain by the Philistines… and their bones lay in heaps on the road… G-d therefore said: If Israel behold the bones of the sons of Ephraim strewn in the road, they will return to Egypt…

* From Chabad.org: On the SEVENTH DAY OF PASSOVER we read how on this day the sea split for the Children of Israel and drowned the pursuing Egyptians, and the “Song at the Sea” sung by the people upon their deliverance (Exodus 13:17-15:26; full summary with commentary here).

On the EIGHTH DAY OF PASSOVER we read Deuteronomy 15:19-16:17. Like the reading for the second day, it catalogs the annual cycle of festivals, their special observances, and the offerings brought on these occasions to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The Eighth Day’s special connection with the Future Redemption is reflected in the Haftorah (reading from the Prophets) for this day (Isaiah 10:32-12:6).
