ISRAELI - ARAB CONFLICT; Jewish Century???

If you did not read till the end of my lengthy review of Slezkine's book, The Jewish Century, my comments about Israel seem now more current.  I here repeat them as a separate post.  Hugh Murray

             And what about Israel, the third locale for migration from the Pale?
            The economic position of Jews in Germany was quite different from that of the average German.  Professionals, business men, educators, engineers, scientists, literary figures, bankers, department store moguls, publishers, etc., while many Germans were farmers or factory workers.  Not only were the Jews different, they were rich, earning about 2.5 RM for every mark earned by a gentile.  And with the Great Depression, the gap between rich and poor, Jew and German seemed to widen.  Could Jews “normalize”?  Could they become Appollonians like the rest of society?  The Nazis asserted that they could not and had to be driven from Germany, from Europe, and when they did not go, they were exterminated.
            Soviet Russia also sought to “normalize” the Jews.  There were discussions of giving them farm land in the Crimea, which had been forcibly vacated by Tartars who, fighting against the Bolsheviki, had been removed to Siberia.  Opposition to the Crimean venture was strong, and nothing came of it.  However, in 1928 the USSR provided an oblast (not a full province) to the Jews.  Birobizhan was to be the Soviet Zion.  There Jews would become farmers and day laborers; they would become Appollonians, like most people.  Birobizhan was in Siberia north of Mongolia, and Slezkine mentions one family of Jews that resettled there.  After one of them froze to death, they returned to the big cities of Russia.  Soviet Jews remained Mercurians, but many were ensconced in the bureaucracy or the Cheka.  Even today, after 85 years, most of the population of Birobizhan is not Jewish.
            In America, Jews were successful, like their German cousins, and following WWII, they witnessed a sharp decline in anti-Semitism.  Ivy League universities, which early in the 20th century only reluctantly admitted Jewish students, had so changed that by 1990 all of the presidents of the Ivy League universities were Jewish.  The Irish-American sociologist and politician, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assessed the public schools of New York City as having “transformed two generations of Jewish immigrants into the intellectual elite of the world’s most powerful nation.”(Graham, 310-11)  In post-WWII America, Jews were probably as wealthy and as influential as their cousins had been in Weimar Germany, but in America, they faced diminishing hostility  Indeed, one might speculate that the creation of “white male privilege” was an attempt to avoid the murderous consequences of the German experience, in which Jews were an elite class, but obvious, alone, and hence a target, the 1%.  In America, no one speaks of Jewish privilege, but there are ever more denunciations of white male privilege.  Anti-Semitism declines while poor whites experience ever more discrimination.
            In Israel, Jews would become Appollonians, farmers, kibutzniks, and most importantly, warriors.  In 1933 there was a strange concurrence of policies between Nazis and Zionists – both wanted the Jews out of Germany.  In the mid-1930s, when the Nazis made the swastika the flag of the nation, Jews were not allowed to display it.  They could, however, display a Zionist flag.  More important, there was an agreement between the German govt. and the Zionists so that Jews departing for Palestine (the name for that land at the time) could take with them more property, and also get credit to purchase necessary items from the Reich.  While other Jewish and Leftist organizations boycotted German-made products, the Zionists did not partake in the boycott.  Several thousand Jews left Germany for Palestine and were able to take considerable sums with them.
            Later in the 1930s the Nazis switched horses in the Middle East.  When Arabs began to riot against Jewish immigrants, the Germans revised their policy.  During WWII the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem rejected British policy which he deemed pro-Jewish.  The Mufti went to Berlin, met with Hitler, and broadcast from German radio to the Middle East.  His message was simple – kill the Jews.  He even visited a concentration camp.
            Following WWI, Britain controlled Trans-Jordan (Jordan, Palestine, Israel), but with the outbreak of WWII, one might wonder if the British could retain it.  In nearby Iraq, a pro-Axis coup occurred (led by a relative of Saddam Hussein).  The British suppressed it, but many Jews were killed by the rebels.  Syria had been given to the French, but suddenly the French under Marshall Petain were collaborating with Germany.  And when Gen. Rommel’s Afrika Korps rumbled past the border of Libya into Egypt, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was preparing to greet the German conqueror, one could wonder about the future of Jews in Egypt and Palestine.  Rommel was defeated at El Alamein 11 November 1942.  Vichy France fell later. Jews no longer had to fear a Nazi conquest in the area, but they still had to fear the Arabs.
            In May 1948 Israel declared independence, and was immediately attacked by all its Arab neighbors.  With weapons from various sources, including eastern European Communist states, the Israelis won and extended their borders beyond the untenable UN suggested ones.  But the existence of Israel has been denied by some of its neighbors ever since.  It is a state in a constant state of war.  The military, the soldier, the secret service, and the scientists are all necessary to the continuance of the state.  Slezkine sums up the process: “Israel was the only postwar European state (‘European’ in both composition and inspiration) to have preserved the ethos of the great nationalist and socialist revolutions of the interwar period.  Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy had been defeated and discredited; Franco’s Spain and Salazar’s Portugal had discarded whatever fascist fervor they had tolerated; Ataturk’s Turkey had routinized its triumph over both cosmopolitanism and popular religion…and Stalin’s Soviet Union had begun to represent itself as middle-aged, mature, a little weary, and perhaps ready for some material comforts and a bit of family happiness.  Only Israel continued to live in the European 1930s;”(327)  Slezkine notes the irony, for as Jews in Israel became Appollonian, much of the West became Mercurian.
            And this difference between Israel with its “warrior culture”(327) and the liberal, multicultural West of today has led to an obvious dichotomy on the part of Western Jews.  In the West, Jews generally support open borders, large-scale immigration of very different peoples to the Western nations.  But Israel seeks to deport the “infiltrators.”  And it does so despite nonsensical denunciations from the UN.  Jews in the West, going back to Franz Boas and his school of social science, dismissed the importance of race, and some later social scientists even deny that race exists.  Jared Diamond condemned The Bell Curve’s conclusions of differences among the races in IQ as “notorious.”  He wrote Guns, Germs and Steel to demonstrate that in human development race was unimportant compared to geography.  Yet, Prof. Diamond was delighted when DNA might be used to detect who is a Jew and who therefore who should be allowed into Israel, - and who should not.  If America, of France, or Sweden were to act as does Israel, American Jews, French Jews, and Swedish Jews, all anchored with the Left, would be organizing massive protests against their governments.  Yet, they support Israel.
            If certain policies are so good for Israel, why are they bad when a Western nation does the same?  Why does the Jewish community praise one and denounce the other?  Is it hypocrisy?  Or, as Kevin McDonald suggests, is it an attempt by a very smart people to weaken its possible competitors by turning the West into 3rdWorld disaster nations, and transform all American cities into Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis?
            Slezkine has written a most important book, and one that won the National Jewish Book Award.  It is provocative in the best sense of the word.
            Though Slezkine’s book preceded the election to the American Presidency of Barrack Hussein Obama, it may be appropriate to discuss Slezkine’s book in view of Obama’s policies.  Slezkine’s book, though much of it describes the Russian experience, concludes that the Jewish migration to Moscow and Petersburg was a failure.  Communism betrayed the Jews long before the Soviet system collapsed.  So the two successful Jewish migrations were to the US and to Israel.
            Obama may have been a Muslim as a child, and he appears to view the West as a colonial power, exploiting nations who have become impoverished through capitalist policies.  When the “Arab Spring” erupted in Egypt, Obama praised the movement.  America’s long-time ally, Mubarak was overthrown, and Obama was pleased that his military government would now be replaced by democracy.  True, an attractive, blond, CBS reporter may have been raped in the Egyptian celebrations for democracy, and Jewish tourists were quickly exiting the land of pyramids, and Coptic Christians were uneasy, but Obama was delighted as democracy swept through Egypt.  In the elections, the Muslim Brotherhood, awaiting power since Rommel’s panzers approached, now had their day.  In the democratic Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood, the Christian minority was persecuted, some murdered, and ancient churches torched.  To show that they were equal opportunity bigots, the religious leader of the Brotherhood announced that Jews were descendants of pigs and monkeys and promised to destroy Israel and the Jews.
            When the Arab Spring spread to neighboring Libya, the American Ambassador and 3 special agents were murdered.  Whom did Hillary Clinton, American Sec. of State, and Pres. Obama blame  for the murder?  Not the Muslim extremists.  They blamed an Egyptian Christian living in the US who had made a film mocking Mohammad.
            In recent years Muslim terrorists killed innocents in China, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Russia, the US, Nigeria.  Muslim intolerance and murder has already wiped the Jews out of most of the Middle East, now they seek to destroy the ancient Christian communities in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc.  In Afghanistan, some time ago, the Muslims destroyed huge statues of Buddha carved from a mountain over a millennium ago.  A Muslim Brotherhood cleric in Egypt spoke of destroying the pagan pyramids.  Recently, one Muslim sect in the new ISIS realm physically destroyed the old tomb of Jonah.
            And yet President Obama urges Israel to return to its 1948 borders!  Why not have the US return to ours of 1800?  One must admire Israel’s determination NOT to be fooled by the liberals into concluding a suicidal peace.  One hopes that in the future, Western leaders will ignore the liberal Jewish establishment and do what is necessary to protect American borders from massive immigration invasion, American cultural from the multicultural anarchy, and restore order rather than excusiology in the courts.  Israel has a sane policy.  But in the West, Jewish influence often prevents the developed nations from adopting sane policies, like the ones followed in Israel.
            Slezkine notes that when Jews were a main bulwark (if not the bulwark) for the Soviet state, not only were they “Stalin’s willing executioners,” but they “were never quite sure why they were executing some people and not others.”(103)  In Israel, they know.  There are those who clearly want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.  It is kill or be killed.  Sadly, in American cities today, people are beginning to confront the same horrible choice.  


                        Slezkine has written a most important book, and one that won the National Jewish Book Award.  It is provocative in the best sense of the word.

PAT BUCHANAN SENSIBLE ON PUTIN

I took the following article from the website of Pat Buchanan.  It seems so sensible.  He also alerts us as to how we are still cooperating with Russian at the moment, regarding space, overflights, and other global concerns.  One hopes the US will waken to the dangers of Islamic terror and be more willing to cooperate with Russia and other nations to curtail this danger.-----Hugh Murray

Is Putin Worse Than Stalin?


Posted on is site 25 July 2014
By Patrick J. Buchanan
In 1933, the Holodomor was playing out in Ukraine
After the “kulaks,” the independent farmers, had been liquidated in the forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture, a genocidal famine was imposed on Ukraine through seizure of her food production.
Estimates of the dead range from two to nine million souls.
Walter Duranty of the New York Times, who called reports of the famine “malignant propaganda,” won a Pulitzer for his mendacity.
In November 1933, during the Holodomor, the greatest liberal of them all, FDR, invited Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov to receive official U.S. recognition of his master Stalin’s murderous regime.
On August 1, 1991, just four months before Ukraine declared its independence of Russia, George H. W. Bush warned Kiev’s legislature:
“Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred.”
In short, Ukraine’s independence was never part of America’s agenda. From 1933 to 1991, it was never a U.S. vital interest. Bush I was against it.
When then did this issue of whose flag flies over Donetsk or Crimea become so crucial that we would arm Ukrainians to fight Russian-backed rebels and consider giving a NATO war guarantee to Kiev, potentially bringing us to war with a nuclear-armed Russia?
From FDR on, U.S. presidents have felt that America could not remain isolated from the rulers of the world’s largest nation.
Ike invited Khrushchev to tour the USA after he had drowned the Hungarian Revolution in blood. After Khrushchev put missiles in Cuba, JFK was soon calling for a new detente at American University.
Within weeks of Warsaw Pact armies crushing the Prague Spring in August 1968, LBJ was seeking a summit with Premier Alexei Kosygin.
After excoriating Moscow for the downing of KAL 007 in 1983, that old Cold Warrior Ronald Reagan was fishing for a summit meeting.
The point: Every president from FDR through George H. W. Bush, even after collisions with Moscow far more serious than this clash over Ukraine, sought to re-engage the men in the Kremlin.
Whatever we thought of the Soviet dictators who blockaded Berlin, enslaved Eastern Europe, put rockets in Cuba and armed Arabs to attack Israel, Ike, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 1 all sought to engage Russia’s rulers.
Avoidance of a catastrophic war demanded engagement.
How then can we explain the clamor of today’s U.S. foreign policy elite to confront, isolate, and cripple Russia, and make of Putin a moral and political leper with whom honorable statesmen can never deal?
What has Putin done to rival the forced famine in Ukraine that starved to death millions, the slaughter of the Hungarian rebels or the Warsaw Pact’s crushing of Czechoslovakia?
In Ukraine, Putin responded to a U.S.-backed coup, which ousted a democratically elected political ally of Russia, with a bloodless seizure of the pro-Russian Crimea where Moscow has berthed its Black Sea fleet since the 18th century. This is routine Big Power geopolitics.
And though Putin put an army on Ukraine’s border, he did not order it to invade or occupy Luhansk or Donetsk. Does this really look like a drive to reassemble either the Russian Empire of the Romanovs or the Soviet Empire of Stalin that reached to the Elbe?
As for the downing of the Malaysian airliner, Putin did not order that. Sen. John Cornyn says U.S. intelligence has not yet provided any “smoking gun” that ties the missile-firing to Russia.
Intel intercepts seem to indicate that Ukrainian rebels thought they had hit an Antonov military transport plane.
Yet, today, the leading foreign policy voice of the Republican Party, Sen. John McCain, calls Obama’s White House “cowardly” for not arming the Ukrainians to fight the Russian-backed separatists.
But suppose Putin responded to the arrival of U.S. weapons in Kiev by occupying Eastern Ukraine. What would we do then?
John Bolton has the answer: Bring Ukraine into NATO.
Translation: The U.S. and NATO should go to war with Russia, if necessary, over Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea, though no U.S. president has ever thought Ukraine itself was worth a war with Russia.
What motivates Putin seems simple and understandable. He wants the respect due a world power. He sees himself as protector of the Russians left behind in his “near abroad.” He relishes playing Big Power politics. History is full of such men.
He allows U.S. overflights to Afghanistan, cooperates in the P5+1 on Iran, helped us rid Syria of chemical weapons, launches our astronauts into orbit, collaborates in the war on terror and disagrees on Crimea and Syria.
But what motivates those on our side who seek every opportunity to restart the Cold War?
Is it not a desperate desire to appear once again Churchillian, once again heroic, once again relevant, as they saw themselves in the Cold War that ended so long ago?
Who is the real problem here?

THE JEWISH CENTURY?

THE JEWISH CENTURY by YURI SLEZKINE
(Princeton U. Press, 2004)  Winner of the National Jewish Book Award
Of the Jewish Book Council.
Rev. by Hugh Murray
            In the 21st century West, the greatest crime may have become “racism,” and the method to detect it in the workplace is through the use of statistics to discover the percentage of under-represented Blacks, Hispanics, or women; followed by the demand for “remedies” to fix the “problem,” – which is the over-representation of white males.  Still, there are clearly certain anomalies.  And these anomalies are related to The Jewish Century.  In the US, “diversity is our strength” has become a mantra of liberals, and to achieve this, affirmative action (AA) on behalf of the under-represented groups is justified, even required.  In the UK, AA is called “positive discrimination,” and elsewhere the policy may have other names, but in each case the aims are the same – increase the percentages of the under-represented groups until their percentage of the workplace approximates their percentages of the general population.  As Slezkine phrases it: “Affirmative action always implies negative (relative to strict meritocracy) action toward those not targeted for preferential treatment.”(p. 336-37)
            The US Supreme Court of 9 members is 67% Roman Catholic, and 33% Jewish.  The majority of Americans are Protestant, yet they have not a single Justice on the highest court in the land.  And there is hardly a peep in the media about this grossly under-represented group.  Roman Catholics on the high court are about double their percentage of the general population.  Jews on the Court are about 15 times over-represented (they are about 2.5% of the American population.)  Not a word from the media about this vast over-representation by a tiny minority OR the totally un-represented majority of Americans! 
            During the Presidency of Bill Clinton, the media were pleased and Clinton proud when he announced that his Cabinet would look like America.  It would be as diverse as America, and seemingly, it was.  While a superficial glance confirmed the hype, for white men were only slightly over-represented in the Cabinet, closer inspection revealed that white male gentiles were actually under-represented, while Jews composed 24% of the Cabinet.  Are Jews 24% of the general American population?  The academedia complex almost never discusses the enormous over-representation of Jews in the American elites, economic, political, cultural; and especially in academia and the media.  Instead, the media, and more recently government (through education departments) has stressed the evils of “white male privilege”; how white men are oppressively over-represented.  But often white male gentiles are under-representation, while Jews are vastly over-represented.  The media will have stories weekly about the latest findings in some job category, some bank loans, some answers to job applicants, all stories targeting “white male privilege.”  Some colleges now award credits to students who attend special seminars and conferences on the alleged problems of white male privilege and over-representation.  Yet, while Jews are tremendously over-represented, far more so percentage-wise than white men, no one dares speak of Jewish privilege.  Indeed, the very silence of the media on this topic is yet another symptom of Jewish privilege.  Further, I would suggest that the creation of the bogeyman of “white male privilege” was a tactic by those who are truly privileged to divert attention from themselves and their real privileges.
            How did this situation arise?
            Slezkine provides a hint when he writes: “…Jewish prominence in the American political elite began perceptibly in the 1970s, during the ascendance of nonprofit organizations, political foundations, regulatory agencies, new information technologies and public-interest law firms.”(370)  I would suggest Jewish influence preceded the 1970s, but Slezkine’s statistics are persuasive – “The Jews are the wealthiest of all religious groups in the United States(367)…and the highest representation among the richest individual Americans (about 40% of the wealthiest forty…in 1982)(p. 368)…According to studies conducted in the 1970s and 80s, Jews made up between one fourth and one third of the media elite…(p. 369)  Jews are strongly over-represented in both houses of Congress (three to four times their percentage of the general population…Jews provide between one-fourth and one-half of all Democratic Party campaign funds, and…in 27 out of 36 senatorial races of 1986 ‘at least one of the candidates (and often both) had a Jewish campaign manager or finance chairman.’”(369)
            How did they use this power?  “Young Jewish students were vastly over-represented in the student Left and the civil rights movement of the 1960s.(348)…two-thirds of the white Freedom Riders who went South in 1961…; one third to one half of the ‘Mississippi Summer’ volunteers of 1964 (348) (and two of the three murdered martyred…”(349)  Jewish interest in race and civil rights and had been on-going for decades, so no one would have been surprised when the leadership of a governmental regulatory agency on civil rights might be headed by a Jew.
            In 1964, after much debate in Congress, most Republicans and a majority of Democrats joined to curtail the filibuster conducted by a large segment of the Democratic Party, which opposed all civil rights legislation.  The proposed new law was in the long tradition of anti-discriminatory rhetoric and principles developed over decades of agitation.  The ideal was simply abbreviated, to treat people without regard to race, color, or creed.  This ideal had been espoused for so long that some of the words had changed their meaning over time.  In 1900, “race” usually meant what we might call ethnos today, the German race, the Hungarian race, the French race; while “color” then was more like what we call race today.  Creed then and now would refer to beliefs, usually religious beliefs.  The objective of anti-bias legislation was to end discrimination against individuals based on race, color, or creed.  Nevertheless, when such legislation was introduced into the State Legislature of New York in the 1940s, opponents claimed that the result of passage would be “Hitlerian” quotas. (See Anthony Chen’s, “The Hitlerian Rule of Quotas,” J. of American History, March 2006, and our correspondence about it, JAH, December 2006)  Opponents of the law were defeated when Republican Gov. Thomas Dewey enthusiastically endorsed the measure; New York thus became the first state to enact such an anti-discrimination law.
            In the early 1960s with sit-ins, Freedom Rides, and growing protests, there was also a rising demand for national civil rights legislation.   In his speech on the subject of 28 February 1963, Pres. John Kennedy declared that our Constitution was color blind.  In accord with this spirit, during the 1963 March on Washington, Martin Luther King dreamt of the day when his children would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
       After the assassination of Kennedy in Dallas, the Congress took up the civil rights issue in earnest in 1964.  In the debate, Democratic opponents alleged that the proposed national bill would result in quotas and with Negroes being hired instead of better qualified whites.  To assure Americans that such would not be the case, Republicans and Democrats worked to frame the legislation to clarify that there would be neither quotas nor anti-white discrimination.  For example, several amendments were included so that firms could continue to use testing to ascertain the best qualified candidates for a position, even if certain groups did poorly on the examinations.  Merit, not quotas, was to be the essential criterion in hiring and promotion.  Part of the new law explicitly forbade the use of quotas in hiring.  Liberal Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minn. announced he would eat his hat if, because of this proposed law, a Negro would be hired over a better qualified white.  Humphrey also stated:  “…there is nothing in it [the bill] that will give power to the Commission [the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, EEOC] or to any court to require hiring, firing, or promotion of employees in order to meet a racial ‘quota’ or to achieve a racial balance…In fact, the very opposite is true….Title VII is designed to encourage hiring on the basis of ability and qualifications, not race or religion.”(Hugh Graham Davis, The Civil Rights Era, p. 150)  With passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, merit and qualifications,  would be the major reason for being hired or promoted.  There was to be no more discrimination in employment based on race, color, creed, and an amendment added sex to the list of qualities against which discrimination was now forbidden.
            To investigate and enforce the new law, the EEOC was created, and manned by people who supported civil rights.  However, quickly it became clear that many Blacks failed the employment examinations, and were not competing well with whites even when there was no discrimination.  Leftist and Black racial groups were dissatisfied with the outcome of the legislation.  They were not receiving the jobs that they assumed would follow passage of the law.  The non-violent protests of the early 1960s were followed by the riots of the later 60s.
            I emphasize, in the debate in Congress about the proposed law, no senator who favored the civil rights bill spoke up for quotas, "positive integration," racial balance or preferences for minorities above whites.  Quite the contrary.
So, how then did a law which promised to end discrimination by outlawing discrimination against any individual, a law that promised preferences for no group, which agreed to retain testing to reject unqualified applicants - how was this law subverted into its opposite?  Here the role of Alfred Blumrosen is crucial.  Blumrosen was among the zealots working for the EEOC who did not want the agency to function in accord with its legal mandate.
Alfred Blumrosen was instrumental in this and other shifts. He was a professor at Rutgers University who became the EEOC's liaison chief for federal, state and local agencies, and he admitted that his "creative" reading of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was "contrary to the plain meaning." (Graham, 195, emphasis mine)  But why worry? By 1965 when the Bank of America instituted quota hiring under a euphemism, "the standard refrain of the EEO bureaucracies, [was that] affirmative action [AA] had nothing to do with racial quotas. That was illegal." Unfortunately, that deceptive refrain is still heard today.
The goal of Sonia Pressman, another ideologue in the EEOC, was "to document large disparities in employment patterns, [so] that discriminatory intent might legally be inferred." The EEOC sought to impose quotas while not calling them such because quotas were clearly illegal. The agency sought to break the law.
Blumrosen and Pressman pushed the EEOC to defy the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by imposing quotas, demanding racial balance in the workplace and giving preferences to Blacks over whites. Essential to the Blumrosen campaign was the collection of statistics to show "disparate impact," how minorities were underutilized, employed in a smaller proportion in various occupations to their numbers in the general population.
Blumrosen was set upon "selectively enforcing" the civil rights act by using disparate impact theory and proportional representation only when it affected others. (More accurately, Blumrosen was "selectively malenforcing" the civil rights law, imposing quotas for underrepresented Blacks, using quotas to curb whites; for women, against men; but never for gentiles and against Jews.)
Of course, had the EEOC sought to restrict Jews as it has restricted white men, the storm of protest would have cast "disparate impact" theory into the dustbin of history. Thus, the role of Blumrosen and his allies in the media, academia etc., was to create a false target - the "overrepresented," "privileged" and "oppressive" white male. According to the EEOC, the statistics proved just that. However, the statistics proved otherwise. The partial statistics used by Blumrosen were simply the effort to deflect criticism to another group instead of the one most overrepresented, privileged and oppressive - his own.
By not asking the religious question on the EEOC questionnaires, the EEOC created a scapegoat of the white male. Once smeared as "privileged" and "oppressive," the non-privileged, working-class and poor whites began to pay the price for the "moral" system of affirmative action by being legally discriminated against and denied equal opportunity.
The proportional test, the liberals' test of all tests, when applied to the religious clause of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, shows Jews to be the most privileged and oppressive of people in America. The favorite  test of liberals reveals white men to be less privileged than the Jews. Why does not The New York Times, the EEOC, NBC, CBS or ABC report that statistic? They  remain silent on the issue of Jewish privilege while simultaneously exposing every time white men are somewhat overrepresented. Why the silence regarding Jews? A glance at the ownership of the media just might have something to do with this disparity in exposing "privilege." And if any individual in the media dared to expose some Jewish privilege, there would be a thunderous assault upon that individual's "bigotry." However, daily, reporters write of white male privilege, but almost no one denounces this anti-white  bigotry.
Once smeared as privileged, the non-privileged middle-class, working-class,  and poor whites pay for the "moral" system of AA by being legally discriminated against and denied equal opportunity. But then the history of America since the 1960s is often the record of wealthy liberals using the law to curb and oppress blue-collar whites, because the blue-collar folk are deemed privileged, prejudiced and provincial. Therefore, such blue-collar whites deserve to be passed over in scholarships, jobs, and promotions; the blue-collar crowd should be shunted aside, and instead the "pets" of the elite should be elevated: the children of illegal immigrants, of wealthy minorities and the daughters of rich liberals. And this is done in the name of morality, fairness, and justice.
In summary, the great hoax concocted by Blumrosen and his collaborators in the media, academy, and government is "white male privilege." Most white men are not privileged. Those who are, often support AA because it is no loss to them – for their children will not require a scholarship, an entry-level job, a position as policeman or fireman, or a promotion. It is the poor and middle-class whites who, denied equal opportunity, must pay with thinning wallets and shrunken dreams for the "morality of diversity" imposed by the wealthy, liberal elite.
            My point is this, not merely that personnel is policy (sometimes), but that Jewish bureaucrats in the EEOC defied the will of the American people and broke the law they were pledged to enforce, by turning a law against discrimination into a law requiring proportional representation of groups (one that inevitably resulted in discrimination against better qualified white male candidates.)  Furthermore, they deliberately refused to use the same measure of enforcement concerning religious discriminatory aspects of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Had they done so, they would have had to demand no law schools admit Jews until the number of Jewish lawyers was reduced to 3%, and medical schools must be 97% gentile until gentiles reached their fair share of that lucrative profession, and the same proportion in education, films, journalism, etc.
            I do not mean that a few Jews in an agency alone could so radically change the US.  Leftwing Justices on the Supreme Court, collaborators in other governmental agencies, researchers in sociological departments, and rioters, all converged to aid Blumrosen in his remaking of America.  Important too, though surprising to many, was liberal Republican President Richard Nixon, who revived Lyndon B. Johnson’s Philadelphia Plan, a quota plan for hiring in the construction trades in that city (under the euphemism of goals and timetables, meaning the company would be granted time to reach the quota).  Nixon revived and expanded the goals and timetables approach and made it “affirmative action,” extending it to all jobs, making it nation-wide, and expanding the quotas to Hispanics, women, and others.  But it was Blumrosen, Pressman, and some other Jewish bureaucrats in other agencies that got the ball rolling, a ball that would change America.  Some Jews like Bakke, in the lawsuit that bears his name, sued in court because of the anti-white discrimination, but most Jews were in the camp of the Left, and they supported rights by groups, rather than individual rights.  At late as 2003 when a most important AA case from Michigan went before the US Supreme Court, the gentile vote was 4-3 against affirmative action.   But Justices Ruth Bader-Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer, the two Jews then on the court, voted solidly in favor of AA – so the final vote was 5-4 in favor of AA and the quota system continues to this day because of Jewish support.
            IF THERE IS WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE, THERE IS FAR MORE JEWISH PRIVILEGE.  IF THERE IS NO JEWISH PRIVILEGE, THEN THERE IS CERTAINLY NO SUCH THING AS WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE!
            How does this relate to Slezkine’s book?  Over-representation of Jews in the upper reaches of the various national elites was the major question facing Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.  Slezkine, like Thomas Sowell, compares Jews in Europe to other minority trader-business-circus types.  Slezkine calls them all Mercurians and contrasts them with the more agricultural, warrior, physical types, the Apollonians.  Interestingly, he rejects the Nietzschian model, asserting that the Dionysians were simply drunken Apollonians.  Like Sowell, he sees the analogy between the Jews in Europe, the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the Indians in East Africa, and the Parsis in India.  Slezkine also adds the gypsies.  Many have questioned the latter, for while Jews were often outsiders at the top of the economic ladder, gypsies were at the bottom.
            By 1900 some social scientists like Max Weber had concluded that there was a connection between the Protestant ethic and capitalism.  Yet, others saw a closer connection between capitalism and Judaism.  “Most radical Jewish memoirists remembered …acquisitiveness stripped of the Jewish tradition was distilled capitalism, i.e., ‘practical, real Judaism.’”(153)
            Of course, there were numerous successful Protestant businessmen.  But as Slezkine notes: “A Scottish Protestant was not just a pork-eating Jew, as Heine would have it; he was a solitary Jew, a Jew without the people of Israel, the only creature to have been chosen.”(43)  This observation by Slezkine implies that it may not have been mere aptitude of the individuals that propelled Jews to such success.
            Slezkine also argues that successful Jews became lonely individuals, too.  They had become modern, less religious, deprived of their tribe, but not allowed to join in the rising nationalisms swirling round them no matter how much Goethe or Pushkin they could recite.(74-75)  However, even if Jews could not fully partake in the nationalisms of the French, Czechs, Poles, flooding the lands in which they resided, this did not mean that they were alone.  Slezkine asserts “Communism was the principle religion of the young Jewish intellectuals…”(209)  Perhaps, children of successful businessmen, they joined together to remake society.  They may have been somewhat deprived of the comforts of their religious traditions, which they rejected, but they were meeting, greeting, and joining others of their tribe (and some gentiles too) in a modern variation of their ancient faith.
            According to Slezkine, “…Jews created the left-wing intellectual movement in Germany.”(86)  He then presents a list of Jewish socialists and communists in early 20th century Europe demonstrating their influence on the movement.(85)  Slezkine acknowledges that when Bela Kun’s Communist regime took power in Hungary after WWI, 20 of the 26 ruling commissars were Jews.  He also mentions that the Bavarian Soviet Republic of 1919 was led by Jews.(85)  He does not mention how a soldier, recently released from hospital after being gassed at the front, was elected from his unit as a representative to the Soviet.  That soldier, Adolf Hitler, also marched in a procession honoring one of the Bavarian Soviet’s Jewish leaders.(See my “Affirmative Action and the Nazis.”)  Though the Soviet was Jewish led, clearly its message appealed to gentiles too.
            What was true in central Europe was true in Russia.  Slezkine discusses Jewish over-representation among the Bolshevik leadership, with Trotsky head of the Red Army, and numerous Jews in the leadership.  Even Lenin had a Jewish grandfather (though it was not widely known, and when, after his death, a relative wanted to publicize this fact, Stalin vehemently suppressed it.)  There were Communist leaders who were not Jews, but often their wives were, or they had in-laws who were.
            Jews also performed an important role in the secret police of the Bolshevik government.  “…in the Cheka (sec. police), Bolsheviks of Jewish origin combined ideological commitment with literacy in way that set them apart and propelled them upward.  In 1918, 65.5% of all Jewish Cheka employees were ‘responsible officials.’  Jews made up 19.1% of all central apparatus investigators and 50%...of the investigators employed in the department for combating counterrevolution.  In 1923, at the…creation of the OGPU (the Cheka’s successor), Jews made up 15.5% of ‘leading’ officials and 50% of the top brass…”(177)
            The Bolsheviks had their AA programs to dismiss unreliable former governmental officials, and the older bureaucrats of Russian or German heritage now had to pass tests of loyalty.  And who would be the judge?  And if they were fired, whom would the Communists hire to replace them?  Jews effectively manned the new bureaucracy in the Soviet state.  After all, Jews were the “true believers” in Communism,(232) the most dedicated of apostles of the new system.(156)
            “Most members of the new Soviet elite were not Jews, and most Jews were not members of the new Soviet elite.  But there is no doubt that the Jews had a much higher proportion…than any other ethnic group in the USSR.”(236)  “From the inception of the Soviet regime, the unique combination of exceptionally high literacy rates and a remarkable degree of political loyalty… had made Jews the backbone of the new Soviet bureaucracy.”(224)  And what were some of the reasons for the large over-representation of Jews in the Soviet elite?  One Soviet authority, Yuri Larin (who was Jewish) presented 3 reasons for their success, one of which I cite here, “the strong sense of solidarity among them.”(252)  Slezkine elaborates on the results over time: “Indeed, the Soviet secret police…known after 1934 as the NKVD – was among the most Jewish of Soviet institutions.”(254)  Slezkine adds that Jews were dominant in the Soviet Foreign Service and in spying for the USSR in Western Europe and in the USA.  Jews also headed the Gulag institutions and camps until November 1938.(255)
            Of course, in the 1920s the Soviet Union was not the only nation in which Jews were doing well.  Indeed, what Jews were more admired for their enormous success and influence than the Jews of Germany.  Jewish Communists in Moscow may have been in the Soviet elite, but they were still impoverished by German standards.   Rounding up kulaks, running concentration camps, ruffians!  How could that compare to Dr. this, and Prof. that in Germany?  As Germany reorganized following defeat in WWI, the new Weimar Constitution for the republic was mainly the handiwork of a Jew, Hugo Preuss.  Though less than 1% of the population Jewish success was evident in books, newspapers, Einstein and other scientists, the new film industry, department stores, banks, furs, and the lucrative professions.(See my “Affirmative Action and the Nazis for many more examples of statistical over-representation.”)  Slezkine reports, “In 1908-11, in Germany…, Jews made up 0.95% of the population... and 31% of the richest families (with a “ratio” of economic over-representation” of 33, the highest anywhere, according to W. E. Rubenstein.(50)  Someone remarked that if you went to a play, it was probably written by a Jew, directed by another, reviewed by a 3rd, in a newspaper edited by a 4th and owned by a 5th.  As these general statistics are rather well known, I shall quote sparingly: “In Prussia, 16% of physicians, 15% of dentists, and one fourth of all lawyers in 1925 were Jews; and in interwar Poland, Jews were about 56% of all doctors in private practice, 43.3% of all private teachers and educators, 33.5% of all lawyers and notaries, and 22% of all journalists, publishers, and librarians.”(50)   Slezkine adds that by 1900 “In large parts of Eastern Europe, virtually the whole ‘middle class’ was Jewish.”(50)  According to Slezkine, the Rothschilds were the wealthiest family of the 19th century “by a wide margin.”(48)
            In Central Europe there was a growing desire to restrict Jewish over-representation in the economy and culture of the various new nations after WWI.  This was “the Jewish Question.”  And it is related to AA.  In the 1920s Soviet Jews in the bureaucracy had used AA to eliminate from government jobs the Orthodox Christians, the old nobility, the former German-Russian bureaucrats, the “bourgeoisie,” and a little later physically eliminate the kulaks and other “counter revolutionary elements through starvation, the Gulag, drowning in the White Sea Canal project, or through a bullet in the head.  Jews, powerful in the secret police and true believers in the system were, as Slezkine writes, “Stalin’s willing executioners.”(103)
            The counter-attack occurred with Hitler’s rapid rise in depression-ridden Germany.  Boycotts of Jewish stores, dismissal of Jews from government posts (teachers, judges, etc.), limits on their admission to university to their percentage of the population, followed by ever-increasing segregation, discrimination, isolation, until the final solution.  Other European nations also partook in these policies.
            Slezkine reveals that the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939 would result in Jews losing posts in the Soviet Foreign Service, but no major change occurred immediately.  With the attack on the Soviet Union in summer 1941 by Nazi-led Europe, the role of Jews did change.  The Nazis equated Communism and Jews, and they sought to exterminate one by killing off the other.  Jews were treated so differently by the invader, that the Jews were determined to fight them to the death.  After the defeat of Germany, Stalin established puppet states in Eastern Europe, and whom could he rely on to be sufficiently determined to root out all traces of Nazism but the Jews.  And so in Eastern Europe, the remnant of Jews often took posts in the new Communists governments, including manning the secret police and running concentration camps with different inmates.  But when Israel defeated to Arabs to create a new state, a major change occurred.  Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir visited Moscow in the late 1940s and was hailed by Soviet Jews with intense enthusiasm.  Stalin began to fear the loyalties of the Soviet Jews.  There were trials in Eastern Europe accusing the Jews (and some others) of working for foreign (CIA) or other groups.  In the USSR itself, some leading Jews simply disappeared, and various Jewish committees cease to exist.  Anti-Semitism was vocalized, and fear spread.  What was happening?  Who would disappear next?  Why was the Party betraying the Jews?  Slezkine includes an illuminating anecdote from Ester Markish: “After the arrest of [Perets] Markish, our maid, who had lived in our house for more than fifteen years and had, in effect, becoming a member of our family, said to me: ‘You are crying now, but you did not mind when my father was being dekulakized, martyred for no reason at all, and my whole family thrown out in the street?’”(310-11)  Some thought Stalin was even contemplating a round-up of all the Jews, to be sent to Siberia or worse.  Then Stalin died.
            Though Jews continued to be over-represented in the Soviet elite, the leadership of the Soviet Communist Party (CP) was determined to reduce their influence.  AA was used to get more ethnics into university – Russians, Kazaks, Uzbeks, etc.  Later attempts to increase blue-collar admissions were meant to reduce the influence of Jews and stimulate loyalty to the Party.  Jews became ever more alienated, an intellectual class distrusting the political leaders, and the distrust was mutual.  Jews were no longer the true believers.  But Slezkine points out, as the regime aged, no one seemed to believe any more.  With pressure from the US, whose government was pressured by Jewish groups, Jews were allowed to exit the USSR.  Then the Soviet Union collapsed.  By 1994 only 230,000 Jews remained in the Russian Federation.(361)
            Slezkine’s book is about immigration – of Jews from the Pale of Settlement in the Russian Empire to 3 possible ideal areas.  Some left for America.  Some, in the turmoil of WWI, left the shtetl for Moscow or Petersburg, and more joined them with the Bolshevik victory.  A few went to the deserts of the Middle East.  By the 1920s, it seemed those who left for Moscow had made the correct choice, - they had power, discrimination against them was illegal, and they were the elite (with a Russian nanny and a dacha) even if they lacked many of the new commercial items available in America.  But Slezkine ignores another kind of utopia of the era – one to which large numbers of Jews could not easily immigrate – Germany.  The German Jews seemed to have it all.  They were the top, the pinnacle of Jewish culture, modernity and influence in a leading nation (unlike backward Russia).  Yet, the 1% of immense influence in Germany was struck in 1933, and demolished by 1945.
            Slezkine admits the great hopes by Jews in the Soviet experiment were crushed too.  Not as murderously as those in Germany, but crushed never the less.  In America, Jewish influence permeates in films, radio, TV, journalism, and so many areas of commerce and culture, politics and theory, one cannot overestimate it.  Surely, Jewish influence was even determinative in the EEOC!  Was the invention of "white male privilege" an application of a lesson learned from the disastrous German experience?
              And what about Israel, the third locale for migration from the Pale?
            The economic position of Jews in Germany was quite different from that of the average German.  Professionals, business men, educators, engineers, scientists, literary figures, bankers, department store moguls, publishers, etc., while many Germans were farmers or factory workers.  Not only were the Jews different, they were rich, earning about 2.5 RM for every mark earned by a gentile.  And with the Great Depression, the gap between rich and poor, Jew and German seemed to widen.  Could Jews “normalize”?  Could they become Appollonians like the rest of society?  The Nazis asserted that they could not and had to be driven from Germany, from Europe, and when they did not go, they were exterminated.
            Soviet Russia also sought to “normalize” the Jews.  There were discussions of giving them farm land in the Crimea, which had been forcibly vacated by Tartars who, fighting against the Bolsheviki, had been removed to Siberia.  Opposition to the Crimean venture was strong, and nothing came of it.  However, in 1928 the USSR provided an oblast (not a full province) to the Jews.  Birobizhan was to be the Soviet Zion.  There Jews would become farmers and day laborers; they would become Appollonians, like most people.  Birobizhan was in Siberia north of Mongolia, and Slezkine mentions one family of Jews that resettled there.  After one of them froze to death, they returned to the big cities of Russia.  Soviet Jews remained Mercurians, but many were ensconced in the bureaucracy or the Cheka.  Even today, after 85 years, most of the population of Birobizhan is not Jewish.
            In America, Jews were successful, like their German cousins, and following WWII, they witnessed a sharp decline in anti-Semitism.  Ivy League universities, which early in the 20th century only reluctantly admitted Jewish students, had so changed that by 1990 all of the presidents of the Ivy League universities were Jewish.  The Irish-American sociologist and politician, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assessed the public schools of New York City as having “transformed two generations of Jewish immigrants into the intellectual elite of the world’s most powerful nation.”(Graham, 310-11)  In post-WWII America, Jews were probably as wealthy and as influential as their cousins had been in Weimar Germany, but in America, they faced diminishing hostility  Indeed, one might speculate that the creation of “white male privilege” was an attempt to avoid the murderous consequences of the German experience, in which Jews were an elite class, but obvious, alone, and hence a target, the 1%.  In America, no one speaks of Jewish privilege, but there are ever more denunciations of white male privilege.  Anti-Semitism declines while poor whites experience ever more discrimination.
            In Israel, Jews would become Appollonians, farmers, kibutzniks, and most importantly, warriors.  In 1933 there was a strange concurrence of policies between Nazis and Zionists – both wanted the Jews out of Germany.  In the mid-1930s, when the Nazis made the swastika the flag of the nation, Jews were not allowed to display it.  They could, however, display a Zionist flag.  More important, there was an agreement between the German govt. and the Zionists so that Jews departing for Palestine (the name for that land at the time) could take with them more property, and also get credit to purchase necessary items from the Reich.  While other Jewish and Leftist organizations boycotted German-made products, the Zionists did not partake in the boycott.  Several thousand Jews left Germany for Palestine and were able to take considerable sums with them.
            Later in the 1930s the Nazis switched horses in the Middle East.  When Arabs began to riot against Jewish immigrants, the Germans revised their policy.  During WWII the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem rejected British policy which he deemed pro-Jewish.  The Mufti went to Berlin, met with Hitler, and broadcast from German radio to the Middle East.  His message was simple – kill the Jews.  He even visited a concentration camp.
            Following WWI, Britain controlled Trans-Jordan (Jordan, Palestine, Israel), but with the outbreak of WWII, one might wonder if the British could retain it.  In nearby Iraq, a pro-Axis coup occurred (led by a relative of Saddam Hussein).  The British suppressed it, but many Jews were killed by the rebels.  Syria had been given to the French, but suddenly the French under Marshall Petain were collaborating with Germany.  And when Gen. Rommel’s Afrika Korps rumbled past the border of Libya into Egypt, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was preparing to greet the German conqueror, one could wonder about the future of Jews in Egypt and Palestine.  Rommel was defeated at El Alamein 11 November 1942.  Vichy France fell later. Jews no longer had to fear a Nazi conquest in the area, but they still had to fear the Arabs.
            In May 1948 Israel declared independence, and was immediately attacked by all its Arab neighbors.  With weapons from various sources, including eastern European Communist states, the Israelis won and extended their borders beyond the untenable UN suggested ones.  But the existence of Israel has been denied by some of its neighbors ever since.  It is a state in a constant state of war.  The military, the soldier, the secret service, and the scientists are all necessary to the continuance of the state.  Slezkine sums up the process: “Israel was the only postwar European state (‘European’ in both composition and inspiration) to have preserved the ethos of the great nationalist and socialist revolutions of the interwar period.  Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy had been defeated and discredited; Franco’s Spain and Salazar’s Portugal had discarded whatever fascist fervor they had tolerated; Ataturk’s Turkey had routinized its triumph over both cosmopolitanism and popular religion…and Stalin’s Soviet Union had begun to represent itself as middle-aged, mature, a little weary, and perhaps ready for some material comforts and a bit of family happiness.  Only Israel continued to live in the European 1930s;”(327)  Slezkine notes the irony, for as Jews in Israel became Appollonian, much of the West became Mercurian.
            And this difference between Israel with its “warrior culture”(327) and the liberal, multicultural West of today has led to an obvious dichotomy on the part of Western Jews.  In the West, Jews generally support open borders, large-scale immigration of very different peoples to the Western nations.  But Israel seeks to deport the “infiltrators.”  And it does so despite nonsensical denunciations from the UN.  Jews in the West, going back to Franz Boas and his school of social science, dismissed the importance of race, and some later social scientists even deny that race exists.  Jared Diamond condemned The Bell Curve’s conclusions of differences among the races in IQ as “notorious.”  He wrote Guns, Germs and Steel to demonstrate that in human development race was unimportant compared to geography.  Yet, Prof. Diamond was delighted when DNA might be used to detect who is a Jew and who therefore who should be allowed into Israel, - and who should not.  If America, of France, or Sweden were to act as does Israel, American Jews, French Jews, and Swedish Jews, all anchored with the Left, would be organizing massive protests against their governments.  Yet, they support Israel.
            If certain policies are so good for Israel, why are they bad when a Western nation does the same?  Why does the Jewish community praise one and denounce the other?  Is it hypocrisy?  Or, as Kevin McDonald suggests, is it an attempt by a very smart people to weaken its possible competitors by turning the West into 3rd World disaster nations, and transform all American cities into Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis?
            Slezkine has written a most important book, and one that won the National Jewish Book Award.  It is provocative in the best sense of the word.
            Though Slezkine’s book preceded the election to the American Presidency of Barrack Hussein Obama, it may be appropriate to discuss Slezkine’s book in view of Obama’s policies.  Slezkine’s book, though much of it describes the Russian experience, concludes that the Jewish migration to Moscow and Petersburg was a failure.  Communism betrayed the Jews long before the Soviet system collapsed.  So the two successful Jewish migrations were to the US and to Israel.
            Obama may have been a Muslim as a child, and he appears to view the West as a colonial power, exploiting nations who have become impoverished through capitalist policies.  When the “Arab Spring” erupted in Egypt, Obama praised the movement.  America’s long-time ally, Mubarak was overthrown, and Obama was pleased that his military government would now be replaced by democracy.  True, an attractive, blond, CBS reporter may have been raped in the Egyptian celebrations for democracy, and Jewish tourists were quickly exiting the land of pyramids, and Coptic Christians were uneasy, but Obama was delighted as democracy swept through Egypt.  In the elections, the Muslim Brotherhood, awaiting power since Rommel’s panzers approached, now had their day.  In the democratic Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood, the Christian minority was persecuted, some murdered, and ancient churches torched.  To show that they were equal opportunity bigots, the religious leader of the Brotherhood announced that Jews were descendants of pigs and monkeys and promised to destroy Israel and the Jews.
            When the Arab Spring spread to neighboring Libya, the American Ambassador and 3 special agents were murdered.  Whom did Hillary Clinton, American Sec. of State, and Pres. Obama blame  for the murder?  Not the Muslim extremists.  They blamed an Egyptian Christian living in the US who had made a film mocking Mohammad.
            In recent years Muslim terrorists killed innocents in China, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Russia, the US, Nigeria.  Muslim intolerance and murder has already wiped the Jews out of most of the Middle East, now they seek to destroy the ancient Christian communities in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc.  In Afghanistan, some time ago, the Muslims destroyed huge statues of Buddha carved from a mountain over a millennium ago.  A Muslim Brotherhood cleric in Egypt spoke of destroying the pagan pyramids.  Recently, one Muslim sect in the new ISIS realm physically destroyed the old tomb of Jonah.
            And yet President Obama urges Israel to return to its 1948 borders!  Why not have the US return to ours of 1800?  One must admire Israel’s determination NOT to be fooled by the liberals into concluding a suicidal peace.  One hopes that in the future, Western leaders will ignore the liberal Jewish establishment and do what is necessary to protect American borders from massive immigration invasion, American cultural from the multicultural anarchy, and restore order rather than excusiology in the courts.  Israel has a sane policy.  But in the West, Jewish influence often prevents the developed nations from adopting sane policies, like the ones followed in Israel.
            Slezkine notes that when Jews were a main bulwark (if not the bulwark) for the Soviet state, not only were they “Stalin’s willing executioners,” but they “were never quite sure why they were executing some people and not others.”(103)  In Israel, they know.  There are those who clearly want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.  It is kill or be killed.  Sadly, in American cities today, people are beginning to confront the same horrible choice.

ORGANIZING THE INVASION IS TREASON

            I repeating an argument I made in a previous post – Pres. Obama should be tried for treason.  A document has surfaced so we know that his administration was aware of an impending invasion of the United States.  In January 2014, a government agency advertised for escorts for unaccompanied children who were expected to come across the border, some 65,000 of them.  Obama, instead of sending more border control agents and troops to secure the border and prevent the invasion, has instead welcomed the invaders, announced that his Administration will provide them with lawyers, and of course basic welfare.  Instead of preventing the mass invasion, Pres. Obama has aided and abetted the invaders.  Instead of defending the borders of America, Obama conspires with foreign invaders!  This amounts to treason. 
            In the early stages of the French Revolution, King Louis XVI had lost some of his powers to the Assembly, and he and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were determined to reverse that.  At some point they planned to escape France and have other monarchs go to war with France on behalf of Louis.  He expected the foreign armies to restore his full, divine right, powers.  Unfortunately for the royal couple, their carriage was intercepted in France, the proof of his conspiring with the enemies of the people of France confirmed, and eventually Louis and Marie were found guilty.  My comparison is not a complete analogy, especially in the case of the wives.  The very health-conscious Michelle Obama would never repeat the famous words of Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake!”
            As Pres. Obama’s popularity with the American people has declined since his re-election, and for good reason - the failure of the Obamacare website, the uncertainty today if those who were able to sign up are actually signed up; the exposure of the use by the Obama Adm. of the tax bureau to attack political opponents; the turning of the Arab Spring, which Obama so praised, into anti-American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian violence; the collapse of American policy in Iraq and Afghanistan; the cover-up of the murderous attack on Americans in Libya; the scandals of the government health care program for veterans, etc.  With so many things going against Obama and his Democratic Party, what can he do to counter the trend against the Democrats?  The most solid voting bloc for Democrats is the Black voters, who chose Obama by about 95%.  Hispanics generally vote Democrat by 67 to 75%.  So the best way to improve the chances of the Democrats is to increase the numbers of Blacks and Hispanics in the nation.  Displace the people already here.  Offer the newcomers the welfare state, and they will come.
            Obama was a community organizer before he was President.  To organize the trek of 65,000 children, young adults, and mothers (and drug dealers?)from Central America through Mexico to the US required considerable skill.  But this was accomplished.  (And the massive invasion may well continue until the US is as poor as the Central American nations from which the human flood has originated.)  The beneficiaries will be the Democratic Party, if not in this election, in those of the future.  Those who will pay for the invasion, will be those who pay taxes for the welfare, those who become crime victims to newcomers who know little English and fewer skills and who will want more than welfare; those whose neighborhoods will suddenly become little barrios with foreign music, customs, drug dealing and hostility to native Americans.  One must recall the astute poem by Bertolt Brecht after the uprising against the East German Communist government in Berlin in 1953 – in it he noted that an official writers’ organization had urged the workers to obey the government and regain its confidence.  Brecht then bitingly suggested that if this were not done, the government would dissolve the people, and elect another.

            Obama is at war with the general American population.  He is seeking to dissolve the American people and elect another.  This is not an accident.  This is not incompetence.  This is treason.  Pres. Obama should be impeached and tried for treason.
           Impeach Obama, close the border, deport all invaders - and then American can be America again!
