Derb is unable to be penetrating, straightforward and boldly critical about you-know-who and you-know-what.<\/p>\n<p>On this topic, he\u2019s a hopeless wimp.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, Derb, but boldness and honesty are what\u2019s urgently needed right now. Yet you keep failing to deliver. This weak article proves it.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend that you read more essays by Kevin MacDonald, Gilad Aztmon, or Philip Giraldi.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, stick to writing about illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>And pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!<\/p>\n<p>* Saying there\u2019s no anti-semitism in your archives is like a Good Progressive saying he\u2019s never written anything politically incorrect. Even if it\u2019s true that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll be true tomorrow. Because there\u2019s no hard definition of an anti-semite. Certainly it doesn\u2019t mean someone who objectively hates Jews. It has come to mean anyone Jews, or those speaking for Jews, don\u2019t like. Jews could start disliking you any day, if they don\u2019t already.<\/p>\n<p>Once that happens, anything in your archive is anti-semitic by definition.<\/p>\n<p>* Why are you talking about Cossacks and 1881 when it would be more to the point to mention Nazis and 1933-1945. That\u2019s where their minds are trapped. Same way for neocons it\u2019s always 1938 or \u201939 and we\u2019re Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>But I suppose it\u2019s a good thing that not every single page on the internet is about Nazis.<\/p>\n<p>* Assuming that theory is true, maybe the goyim wouldn\u2019t turn on the Jews if the Jews didn\u2019t constantly agitate to flood the nation with foreigners and come up with retarded new ways to demonize the domestic population.<\/p>\n<p>That aside, I\u2019m not sure left wing Jews really believe it\u2019s 1881 Russia, or that their Judaic values compel them to be liberals. It\u2019s more likely the other way around. They use their past victimhood as a fearmongering tactic, and their religion as moral support for their political views. Deep down, they are first and foremost true believers, worshiping at the altar of Egalitarianism.<\/p>\n<p>* That\u2019s as anti-semitic as most of the more thoughtful on the alt-right are, Derbyshire. Even \/Goebbels\/ knew that \u2018not all Jews are like that\u2019 \u2013 apparently he had a Jewish history teacher who he loved. Your understanding has structure, while that of many lazier-thinking alt-righters does not.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder whether it\u2019s connected to the phenomenon of people never really getting over a defeat \u2013 rejection in love, the American South forever mumbling old bones, Mexicans still smarting from the loss of their territory to America. Perhaps the difference in degree is due to Jews\u2019 higher smarts and thus potency in this world, perhaps due to a higher-than-average sense of \/their people\/. Christ, I\u2019ve heard NPR\u2019s Ira Glass talk about \u2018his people\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>* The best way forward for a small, well-connected minority is to align with the dominant ethnic group and go forth from there. This is actually the best way forward for the Jews, and why they don\u2019t simply do this is something I don\u2019t understand. Any Jew who doesn\u2019t want to do this is free to move to Israel \u2013 surely the said Jew also wouldn\u2019t want the Palestinian Arabs to out number the Israeli Jews?<\/p>\n<p>The Jews are fighting an unending war to prevent 1933 from ever happening again, never mind that they\u2019ve successfully associated Judaism with (Catholic, and European Protestant) Christianity, that Islam is arguably the most \u201canti-Semitic\u201d religion out there, that they\u2019d paint themselves into a corner by not looking like the dominant goyim.<\/p>\n<p>This is like setting fire to an oil rig \u2013 and its lifeboats \u2013 in the North Sea.<\/p>\n<p>* I do not see anything uniquely or especially Jewish about either the far-left anti-white people or elitist anti-Trump Republicans, or all that much similar to each other.<\/p>\n<p>There is certainly a Jewish flavor of white ethnomasochism, and it is as greatly distasteful as the English, Swedish or Popish varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the global elite, it seems much more at its base Anglo-Saxon and more broadly Western European, and the Jews in it tend to be miscegenated (mostly with NW Europeans, increasingly with NE Asians) and ultra-assimilated. Bret Stephens wasn\u2019t engaging in intensive Torah study at Middlesex boarding school, the University of Chicago, and the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n<p>* Growing up in a Jewish family, I was conditioned to think about pogroms and the Holocaust, whenever the issue of immigration came up. However, I was cured of this neurosis by being exposed to extreme diversity (i.e. getting the feeling that your hometown and school district are no longer part of America). Stephen Miller, a Jewish aide to Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump, seems to have had a similar \u201cconversion\u201d experience when he was growing up in Southern California. <\/p>\n<p>* I love that notion that a panel of two Jews, two Christians, all four Lille-White, privileged, connected, \u201ceducated\u201d, sit around and bat about the percentage of Trump voters that are irredeemable and deplorable and racist. They name the group, White, working class, lower-caste Trump supporters. Then, they assign varying levels of racism to us? And the Jewish debaters of course, in THEIR racism, assign higher levels of racism to the Trump Goyim than the Christian debaters and of course, the Jews consider US irredeemable more than the Gentile elites at the panel debate.<\/p>\n<p>These are the elites that set the illegals on the rest of us, empower Blacks to their violence (not a word for THEIR racism and violence, of course) and live in their gated communities traveling on armed security details and limousines. This panel, they\u2019re the same coin, different side, both sides elite, except the Jews have more money, no doubt. Being a Multi-Culti Deplorable however, I will happily observe if not assist, the anarchy that goes looking for these elites. When the balloon goes up, when the gated communities are swamped and the mobs are looking for these people to repay the anarchy these elites themselves create, the mobs will not discriminate, they will cut ALL the elite throats. Mustn\u2019t be anti-Semite! In that scenario, ALL the elites die.<\/p>\n<p>* Its funny that people like Rubin and Stephens are all multiculturalism for the US and all nativist apartheid when it comes to Israel. There is a psychological term called projection which states you project onto others your own failings. I think it sums up these gatekeepers except the rabble they lost control over supports their vision of Israel too. The only reason to pay attention to Rubin is to get a good belly laugh from her nativist war propaganda for Israel. The comments section at the Washington Post is always better, with most of the people making fun of her instead of agreeing with her.<\/p>\n<p>* Jews are very politically active as a group, but I\u2019ve never seen groups of Jews protest against immigration and the displacement of whites, or violence against whites in the U.S. or Europe. Jews are far more likely to protest against the displacement of Palestinians by Israel than they are to oppose demographic change in the West, or racial violence and rape directed against whites by minorities, and they aren\u2019t very likely to do even that.<\/p>\n<p>* Lot, maybe you can explain to this poor, dumb Gentile why only Jews seem to be qualified to run the USA\u2019s finances, by having control over the US Treasury and the potent FED?<\/p>\n<p>Current US Treasury Secretary is Jacob Lew, his second is Sarah Bloom. Adam Gzubin is the head of the department flinging the economic sanctions against ME nations and Russia.<br \/>\nPast Treasury heads, have been Tim Geithner; Larry Summers and Robert Rubin-who helped Clinton make it easier for Wall Street casinos to steal our money\u2013all Jews and just for pointing out the truth, I\u2019m guilty of anti-Semitism.<br \/>\nThe only Gentile recently was Hank Paulson, who was needed during the Great Depression of 2008 to reassure Americans that there is nothing wrong, go back to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The FED is run by Janet Yellen, whose second in command, Stanley Fisher, is a dual-citizen, who was the past head of an Israel bank. Before Yellen it was \u2018Shalom\u2019 Bernanke, and before him it was Alan Greenspan.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t even think or wonder why no Gentile\u2019s are appointed to these crucial positions, because that\u2019s anti-Semitism and you\u2019ll be hounded until you no longer exist in the cyber world.<\/p>\n<p>I could go into who controls the majority of the thoroughly rotten and corrupt US media, but let\u2019s stick with the FED and Treasury.<\/p>\n<p>* Obviously can\u2019t speak for those who believe in an actual overarching jewish conspiracy, but the evidence for disproportionate jewish influence in media and politics is clearly evident to anyone who experiences censorship and even prosecution for expressing opinions that are \u201canti-Semitic\u201d. Good luck trying to generate such harassment for anybody expressing equivalently anti-white opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one of my own bits of anecdotal evidence:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<A HREF=\"https:\/\/disqus.com\/home\/discussion\/spectator-new-www\/charged_with_a_hate_crime_that_could_have_ended_my_tv_career_i_fought_back\/#comment-2826227274\">And whilst we\u2019re on the subject of deletions\u2026I\u2019m going for the big one, ie, the ultimate solution to the Randal problem.

He\u2019s got a Jewish wife and many of his investors (who will be contacted if necessary) are Jewish too. Those Jews eh?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it happens he hasn\u2019t succeeded with that particular piece of harassment yet, although he succeeded in getting me banned from The National Interest and from Spectator Blogs using the same special connection. Clearly there are some jewish people for whom commitment to freedom of speech is more genuine than for others (such as our host here, I assume).<\/p>\n<p>Shall I try writing to the various white non-Jewish owners and managers of some major publications asking them to ban people who\u2019ve been making anti-white comments? How far do you think I\u2019d get?<\/p>\n<p>* I\u2019m used to pushback from all the special interest groups I annoy by skewering their sacred cows. The amount depends upon the readership of the publication in question, generally. But robbersdog\u2019s the first to ever credibly threaten prosecution (in fairness to others, these anti-dissent laws are only nowadays starting to be properly enforced), and the only one to actually succeed in getting me banned, from two publications (The National Interest and the Spectator blogs), though many have reported me for, variously, \u201chomophobic\u201d, \u201cracist\u201d, \u201csexist\u201d and other comments advocating traditionalist conservative opinions. Clearly, as well as good timing, jewish would-be censors benefit from institutional and political connections at the highest levels, perhaps more so than the run of the mill special interest identity groups.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you I was banned sharpish from the Guardian (many years ago), but I think that was the management\u2019s decision without any special pleading needed. I don\u2019t mind that, as I\u2019d expect openly leftist publications to frown on traditionalist opinions. It\u2019s the ones who pretend to be \u201cconservative\u201d that annoy me, by their dishonesty.<\/p>\n<p>* I was laying in bed watching TV and flipping channels when I saw CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper sitting in for Charlie Rose. Curious I left it there and Jake was talking with some State Department official about Syria. Tapper brought up Trump\u2019s son\u2019s comment \u2018Would you eat from a bowl of Skittles if you knew three of them had been poisoned\u2019 in reference to bringing Syrian refugees to the US. The State Department official squirmed as he had no reasonable reply to Tapper. He switched to his ( Jewish) heritage and filibustered with an cartoonish tale about his Bialystok born step father. Auschwitz,Maidenek, Treblinka. He had been in all of them ( but survived, he always survived though no one else from his school did). On a \u2018death march\u2019 in 1945 he runs away and again survives and hides in the woods until he hears the rumble of machinery. Were the Nazis sending Panzers to look for the escaped Jew? No, by the grace of God, instead of the hated swastika there was a white star on the tank. The invincible Jew runs out of the woods waving with joy and, instead of a burst of machinegun fire from the American tank, the hatch pops open and a negro tank commander appears!<\/p>\n<p>The story had all the authenticity of a fairy tale and yet here was a senior State Department official reciting ( probably for the 100th time) it as if it was the truth.<\/p>\n<p>* <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Are you singing Dixie and attending Nassacre on a regular basis?

It\u2019s coded by a lot of Jews as anti-Semitism. I don\u2019t think it is. It\u2019s more like counter-Semitism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sobran says that \u201ccounter-Semitism,\u201d unlike anti-Semitism, does not seek a \u201cnegative outcome\u201d for Jews. It is an attempt \u201cto bring Jews down to the level of ordinary civil society.\u201d According to Sobran, he shares with Buchanan, a friend, an urge to diminish \u201cthe excessive moral prestige Jews have in the media and the public square. . . . Jews deciding the standards, setting the criteria of humanity. Since they set themselves up as the arbiter, there is, if you\u2019ll pardon the expression, a certain kill-the-umpire impulse. . . . People are looking at them and saying, come off it. This period of moral prestige has kind of ended.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*  I would point out that Jewish power is both; it is vast, and fragile. It is the subverted power of others. It is soft power that depends entirely on the assent of other peoples. When Jews\u2019 good name is lost, so is their power. They know this perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Every big Jew was once a small Jew.
