Orthodox Judaism is the opposite of radical. <\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/isteve\/forward-trumps-reported-pick-of-rex-tillerson-as-secretary-of-state-spooks-jewish-groups\/\">Comments<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p>* This interview is interesting in the glimpses it offers into the \u2018radical\u2019 mind and \u2018Jewish\u2019 mindset.<br \/>\nSometimes, it\u2019s hard to tell which is which, and it was a mystery even to those who held them. Their Jewishness had been decisive in the radical path they took, but the path was a way out of Jewishness and toward a new humanity without labels and borders. A kind of paradox where being something leads to something that negates that very being.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PCfz14NNhBM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>* My theory is Jewish hatred for American oil tycoons has to do with the fact that it\u2019s one of the few industries in The U.S where Gentile billionaires &#038; millionaires outnumber Jewish billionaires &#038; millionaires. It\u2019s a jealousy factor. Jews get jealous when they see Goys dominate an industry and outperform them. The oil industry is the Goy\u2019s version of Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>* It is not so much what Rex Tillerson has said or done, but that he will be in a Trump cabinet. If he were in a Bush cabinet, the Forward wouldn\u2019t care, cause they know they could sway Tillerson thru Bush. They can\u2019t sway Trump like Presidents of the past 30 years, so they are extra nervous.<br \/>\nTrump is apt to be amenable to win-win scenarios with a strand of Likud thinking. But, he won\u2019t be guilt-tripped by Jewish leftists into manipulating refugee policy to make the US a dumping ground, or setting foreign aid budgets at reckless levels.<\/p>\n<p>* Trump\u2019s policies are in opposition to the Jewish establishment across the board.<\/p>\n<p>That is not to say he is anti-semitic. He is simply free to follow his natural impulses as a guy who loves his country. Which is, of course, anathema, to the powers that be.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is not puppeteered by Jewish money and therefore he is pursuing a straight ahead patriotic goy platform. Oy vey!<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cI made a startling discovery: his [David Horowitz] eyes were those of literally a madman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I believe it.. but it takes a \u2018madman\u2019 to understand what is really up with the radicals and hipsters of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>I think a lot of normal people don\u2019t really get power. People usually project their own personalities and mentalities onto others. So, normal people don\u2019t really get the real darkness of the obsessed. Nice dorks like Rich Lowry just don\u2019t get it. Lowry is gooey enough to think that if he treats Al Sharpton nice, the good decent Negro will come out of that dude.<\/p>\n<p>Horowitz gets it. He has a bit of madness in him, and he can imagine the same darkness in others, especially those in power. It\u2019s like Mamet movies, always a bit paranoid of the darkest motives of the other fella or gal. Sometimes, the darkness could be of skill &#038; power, like in HOUSE OF GAMES. Sometimes, the darkness could be radical stupidity, like the girl in OLEANNA. The nice liberal professor just doesn\u2019t get it cuz he projects his rationality onto that moron creature driven by resentment and anger.<\/p>\n<p>Politics has several kinds of people. The drivers who are always a bit mad, obsessive, and extreme in personality, even if well-hidden. And then, there are the opportunists who just want a piece of the pie. Romney is a classic opportunist, and most politicos are like him.<br \/>\nMost people would rather follow and get a piece of the pie that forge ahead. Trump is a driver, and his kind of madness may have stirred something in Horowitz.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like John Wayne as the obsessive driver of events in RED RIVER and THE SEARCHERS.<br \/>\nHe\u2019s a bit mad \u2014 trying to kill his \u2018son\u2019 figure in RIVER and \u2018daughter\u2019 figure in SEARCHERS \u2014, but he never relents and always forges ahead.<\/p>\n<p>* Seems like Ken Cohen, the longtime Exxon VP of government &#038; public affairs who retired last year, might be worth calling if you\u2019re writing a story like this for The Forward.<\/p>\n<p>* Steve Sailer: There have been Jews who were very successful in the oil biz, like Armand Hammer who did well in Libya. Shell was founded by a Jewish Brit. The Rothschilds funded the Russian oil biz way back around the beginning of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n<p>The top writer on oil industry history is Daniel Yergin from Beverly Hills (I think he\u2019s doing something with Trump\u2019s transition team). His book \u201cThe Prize\u201d is very good.<\/p>\n<p>But in general it\u2019s just not that Jewish of a business.<\/p>\n<p>* [\u201cThere\u2019s some real causes of concern,\u201d said Ron Halber, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington, and an influential voice on Jewish communal policy.]<\/p>\n<p>Tillerson must have been raised by George Lincoln Rockwell. Or blood brother to Louis Farrakhan\u2026<\/p>\n<p>[A lifelong Exxon Mobil executive, Tillerson has no public service background, and no public track record on Israel-related issues.]<\/p>\n<p>So becoming Sec of State is like becoming Pope, but for Jews. It\u2019s not acceptable just to never have had a problem with Catholics. You have to have devoted your life to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>* I know from the book that Americans from every walk of life had a hand in this surge of energy production. What role have you seen people from a Jewish background playing in the early stages of this fracking revolution?<\/p>\n<p>I was struck and surprised by the impact of various Jews on energy in general, on the evolution of the industry. George Mitchell, the father or grandfather of modern-day drilling and fracking, got his early boost by courting local Jewish investors in the Houston and Galveston area. I interviewed Mr. Mitchell before his recent death and he regaled me with stories of how \u2014 and this is something only a 90-something-year-old entrepreneur from Texas can maybe get away with \u2014 stories of how the Jews were both good backers and investors and supporters but also gave him a really hard time when he couldn\u2019t find any oil and gas, but he had fond memories of going back and forth with his various Jewish backers, and frankly they kept him going when things were tough, when he was getting his start and even afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>* James Baker was sui generis. I imagine, like Kevin Macdonald and, I think, Steve Sailer, he had negative experiences with Jews during his early adulthood. His anti-Israel obsession had nothing to do with his broader politics. The broader theme is that the elite wants to use *anti-semitism!* as a way of protecting itself. The problem is that Trump has too man Jewish connections and supporters. The idea seems to be to throw around anything that might make Jews\u2019 Anne-Frank-Movie-Flashbacks kick in so that these connections\/supporters fall away. It\u2019s of a piece with the various other increasingly pathetic and desperate response the Left\/elite is making to this election.<\/p>\n<p>* Could Trump be thinking about pacifying our relationship with Russia before he starts to really put the squeeze on China? Is he capable of thinking that strategically?<\/p>\n<p>* Openly admiring National Socialism makes a lot more sense than openly admiring communism. National Socialism failed, once. Communism has failed over and over and over.<\/p>\n<p>* It is of course possible that Horowitz kicked Auster off his magazine because he (Auster) was difficult to work with. Auster was widely considered to be a difficult man. Although it is probably true that Horowitz did not want to acknowledge race-realism. Perhaps Horowitz believes it, but he still might not want to talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>I liked both Horowitz and Auster. They both had valuable things to say, and said them well. Horowitz\u2019 books \u2013 especially Radical Son \u2013 were quite influential in the formation of my thinking. And I liked how he turned the rhetorical tactics of the left against them. Learning from the left is something that the right must do to win.<\/p>\n<p>* There were no Jews in Bush\u2019s first cabinet. On the other hand, it contained three Arabs.<\/p>\n<p>* Horowitz takes the Breitbartian implicitly-pro-white-but-not-anti-Zionist middle ground. It\u2019s actually not that crazy. Really, you can go after George Soros and support Binyamin Netanyahu. The Israelis aren\u2019t obsessed with increasing illegal immigration, that\u2019s liberal diaspora Jews.<\/p>\n<p>* Oil industry execs have to make deals with Muslims because they have lots of oil. That means being nice to Israel is bad for them.<\/p>\n<p>* The muslims who have a lot of the oil don\u2019t seem very hostile to Israel nowadays. There seems to be some sort of secret understanding between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and some of the Gulf States, that goes beyond a mere temporary alliance of convenience.<\/p>\n<p>* Israel and all the Gulf States are allies now, united by their common fear of Iran. But the Saudis and all the others still need to pay lip service to the Palestinian cause, and that typically means pushing Israel to make various dangerous strategic concessions.<\/p>\n<p>* Orthodox Jews are plenty Zionist, except for a few isolated sects. What they\u2019re not is particularly anti-white, since they lack any liberal guilt.<\/p>\n<p>People on the alt-right use \u2018Zionist\u2019 to mean \u2018supporting the global, universalist elite\u2019 because lots of liberal Jews do, but it really just means \u2018supporting the state of Israel\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>* 99% of orthodox Jews are not only pro-Israel, they\u2019re the most pro-Israel Jews you\u2019ll ever meet.<\/p>\n<p>* With the exception of Satmar and a few aligned sects even \u201canti-Zionist\u201d Haredim are what most people would consider to be pro-Israel. If you ask the typical Hassid what he thinks should be done about rockets from Gaza his response will range from \u201cburn it to the ground\u201d, to \u201cburn it to the ground\u201d. Their anti-Zionism consists of being against army-service and hatred of abstract symbols like the Magen David (once common as a decoration in religious books, now totally absent) and dead people kike Ben Gurion. One of the largest Haredi population centres, Beitar Illit, is a settlement, they\u2019re not keen to see its population evacuated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Jews in the West vote for left-wing parties, but most Orthodox Jews in the West vote for conservative parties.
