Pondering the Telescreen: A Tale of Two CitiesFred Reed |
Denunciations of television have become as routine as breathing: the programming is crass, stupid, propagandistic, so bad that only an idiot would watch it yet everybody does. Actually things are worse. They are much worse.
To see what is happening, start with what may be the crucial truth of our times: People will watch a screen. They will watch anything in preference to nothing, watch programs they don’t really like, comedies so unfunny that only the laugh track tells them when to respond. The bright know that the fare is witless, that it is directed at fools. The ads irritate them. Yet they too watch.
People cannot not watch television.
The flickering screen is everywhere. In millions of living rooms the lobotomy box rattles, often not consciously watched, hardly noticed, but always on. Every bar has at least one television, often several, sometimes with the sound turned off, but always there. Television is the national babysitter, more important than absentee parents in shaping the young. The chattering tube sits in the lobbies of hotels, the rooms of hotels, in barber shops, in restaurants and dorm rooms. In my gym in suburban Washington, rows of screens hang on pipes in front of the exercise bicycles. The box is everywhere, whispering, babbling, urging, suggesting.
Watch the eyes of a man quietly having a drink in a bar. Often his gaze wanders to the screen because it moves, it changes. Even if the sound is down and he cannot follow what is happening, even if he isn’t interested, he watches. People cannot not watch a screen.
No dictator has every enjoyed such a tool for social control, for near absolute power over what people see, over the news, over a culture. Like the bite of a leech, television is painless. Two decades later, the country is unrecognizable.
We underestimate the box. It is tasteless, dumbed-down, and commercial, yes, yes. All the adjectives apply. We have heard them. We agree with them. But we miss the point. We miss the point because the fare is so contemptible: Nothing that stupid can be dangerous.
Oh yes it can.
The lobotomy box gives to Hollywood and New York limitless sculpting access to the minds of our children, limitless power to condition all of us. For hours a day, week after month after year after decade, each generation sees what the two cities wants it to see. It sees nothing else. Because the programming does not come from the formal government, because it seems to counsel only the purchase of New! Improved! Whatever! because we hold it in contempt while spending our lives before it, we – many of us – do not see what it really is.
The content of television is neither merely banal nor merely commercial. This would not matter. Instead it is subliminally didactic, unendingly instructive. It has agendas unrelated to soap. Remember that the advertising and television industries are tightly entwined. Those commercials, seemingly almost invertebrate in their tiresomeness, in fact are the product of decades of manipulative experience by highly intelligent people who have studied the psychology of the audience.
If you want to change the behavior of an audience or a country, if you want to replace their deeply held values with your own, you don’t tell them what to do or what to believe. They might resist. We do not like getting orders. No, you show the things being done – over and over and over. In the beginning you only imply the desired behavior or point of view, leave it in the background so that it is hardly noticed. Over and over and over you imply it. Gradually you make it more explicit. It takes years, but people come to accept whatever they see, and then to imitate it.
They cannot resist any more than a paralyzed caterpillar can resist being eaten by a wasp’s larva. They cannot do without the electric babysitter, cannot toss the damned thing out the window.
They cannot not watch a screen.
What does Hollyork promote? Toleration of foul language and a concomitant coarsening of society; hostility between men and women; truculent illiteracy and the values of the black ghetto; the elevation of homosexuality and promiscuity; disdain for religion; use of drugs, interracial sex, destructive feminism, eradication of the remnants of Anglo-European Christian civilization. It is not accidental.
Do I exaggerate? Think. Every night you see blonde women reading the news. When did you last see a blond man on the screen? Do you think this a coincidence in an industry that calculates motivations to four decimal places? Consider the constant scenes in which women slap men around, kick them in the crotch, participate in gunfights while men cower. Can you believe that the sudden disappearance of the word “Christmas” from permissible discourse wasn’t deliberate? That the rigid exclusion of any but politically correct views from discussion is a coincidence?
My point is not that all these things are in all respects bad, but rather that they are being decided remotely and imposed without consent. American society is being carefully, calculatedly sculpted. A small group of unelected people, having no obvious qualifications of morality or taste, now control the culture of the United States. Our souls belong to Ted Turner and Jane Fonda.
But things are yet worse.
Television is infinitely scaleable. With satellites, Hollywood bathes the world in the same mire. In Mexico, where I live, television and cine are heavily American. A month ago I was in Chile for a couple of weeks. Television was heavily, heavily American – CNN in Spanish, for example. Crossing into Argentina at Bariloche, I found the same. In Thailand, things are little better.
In the living rooms of the whole world, Hollywood has a little window open to the minds of the people. Nobody can escape. In remote towns in the Bolivian altiplano, the values of Hollyork dance on screens. Children in India, in Iran and Uruguay, day after day gradually become what Barbra Streisand and Sylvester Stallone think they should be. Such people know and care nothing for civilizations that have existed for thousands of years.
Other nations know what is happening. The Thais are not happy at the slow, relentless imposition of the tastes of the slums of Brooklyn. But they can do nothing.
How perfectly incredible that a group of – what? A hundred producers, studio heads, and network CEOs? A thousand to be conservative? – can bypass governments, subvert ancient cultures, and make the world as unhappy and divided as they have made the United States.
‘Fred On Everything,’ 15 August 2004
From time to time I write about the cloacal morality of the media as they go about wrecking civilization and annoying hell out of me. But generally I do my mochaccino-maverick, Jeff-Foxworthy-as-Rhodes-scholar shtick. Don’t ask me why, but this fake-cowboy act is money in the bank: ask Don Imus if you don’t believe me.
For rhetorical convenience I use “New York” and “Hollywood” as a sort of abbreviation for the news racket and the screen trades. What can I say? I just picked two cities entirely at random, and they sorta clicked for whatever reason. Well, anyway, this column gets a lot of email, and some of it assumes that “New York” and “Hollywood” are code words for “Jews” simply because they reside there in great numbers and control every aspect of public life in both places while carefully creating/filtering/vetting every published word and broadcast image set before the great mooing herd. In other words, classic anti-Semitism. Let me give you a typical example of such email, the subject line being “Fred I Kill You Jew Loving Scum.”
Dear Fred,
In the name of Allah, the merciful.
You column of Great Satan Television so good me pause ritually mutilating daughter’s clitoris to have read aloud to me. But why not you call for jihad on Jew?
You scared like little girl to say Jew. All evil thing come from Jew; not just UPN, but many bad thing in newspaper also. So you know but not say. Run away Mexico instead fight for homeland. You fight rice nigger Vietnam. You fight sand nigger Iraq. You fight justplain nigger Washington DC. But you no fight Jew. This why me taking pilot lesson.
In Palestine we have saying for one like you: “All tree and no olives.” No seventy virgin with nice ass in Paradise for YOU, infidel! One day soon I blow you house up bomb.
Cordially,
Farouk
Another:
Fred,
I didn’t just get admitted to MIT – I got a PhD from there. This was right before the Plutonians contacted me through a process they call NeuroVox – well, that’s neither here nor there. Forget – just forget I said that last part. Anyhow I’d like to tell you just how spineless I think your last column was in omitting the very obvious fact that JEWS have played and continue to play the largest role in fluoridation’s slow destructive agenda.
Jews have both a genetic and cultural desire to subvert and destroy the purity of their host civilizations’ precious bodily fluids – something I first became aware of during the physical act of love, by the way. The prevalence of Jews in television, advertising and reservoir management provides a powerful channel for those destructive urges to have their effect.
Have you ever seen a Shecky drink a glass of water? On no account will your hard-core Jew... ever... gulp down a glass of plain tap water. Bottled, Fred. Carbonated. Mineral water – that’s what they drink.
Nineteen hundred and forty-eight. Nineteen forty-eight, Fred. How does that coincide with your post-war Hebrew conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Shecky works.
Fred, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Fred – children’s ice cream!
You’re no tough guy, Fred – why are you so scared of Jews? I will take you seriously only when you have the guts to demand that Jews be made to answer for the Great Fluoridation Conspiracy and their clandestine alliance with the Venusian War Council. Oh, shit – I’ve said too much.
We never spoke,
Vincent, USAF (Ret.)
You see? Anti-Semites are invariably mentally disturbed and/or swarthy foreigners. And while I admire the fearlessness of ‘Rouk and Vince in having me take on the Jews, “Let’s you and him fight” sounds better when it’s Ariel Sharon saying it to George W Bush.
Being weary of this stuff, I am going to felch the last dingleberry off the collective Jewish bunghole so thoroughly Joe Farah will seem like Julie Streicher by comparison – and then I’m going back to better things, such as mass-mailing form-letter apologies to every city-room and nat’l affairs desk editor in Christendom just in case an awkwardly turned phrase or two gets, y’know, taken out of context John Rocker-style. Just cuz I earn my livelihood play-acting at being the country cracker who speaks sly Truth to omniscient Power – Sut Lovingood in a Members-Only jacket – don’t mean I don’t look both ways before crossing Jew Street, after all. Heck, sometimes I stand there for days, waiting to cross, and never get off the curb at all.
Now, the conventions of discourse being what they are, it is hard to talk about Jews at all. If you say, “Some of my best friends are Jews,” it means you hate Jews. If you say, “I can’t stand the freaking Jews,” it means you hate Jews. If you don’t say anything, it means you secretly hate Jews. And if you say, “Jews invented Communism, feminism and interracial dating to help kill your nation and make you perpetual serfs in your own homeland” well, you allovasudden start getting server crashes and hosting snafus and “404 – File Not Found” errors and shoot, before you know it you ain’t even an Internet columnist no more.
Now if you say anything good about the Jews, it means that you are a tool of the Jews, or afraid of the Jews, or have had your mind clouded by Jews. But at least the checks clear.
The premises of letters such as the foregoing are invariant: (1) that Jews want to control and exploit the gentiles of the Earth via the most duplicitous, underhanded mind-control avenues available, and (2) that I like being liked enough to pretend I don’t know this. It then follows that, since I don’t say it, I must be either cowardly or collusive. The matter is always phrased as a manhood issue: either you stand up to the Jews, or you lack balls. (The fact that Jews have convinced the other 300 million of us that you either you stand up to the Arabs and the French or you lack balls is wholly immaterial. Who are you gonna believe anyway – Dennis Miller, or some angry white nobody on the freakin’ Internet?) The Jews of course are a monolithic and conspiratorially buzzing hivemind who rub their mandibles and say “Heh-heh-heh” like flies lucking into a pile of fresh shit. (Now see, that last sentence is the kind that’ll get a body in trouble; hence, printing out form-letter apologies in advance.)
Permit me a different interpretation.
Jews may be exotic in Peoria. (What a dumbfuck little nowhere burg: Peoria. Not at all like bustling, hectic Hazzard County, where I hail from, or exotic, flyblown Chocha Grande, the donkey-show capital of the world where I currently reside. Who the hell would want to live in a Jew-free backwater like Peoria, after all?) In Washington, where I worked for years, they are as rare as civil-service niggers. I have known lots of Jews. I have dated them, gotten drunk with them, shared underage gook hookers with them, insider traded with them, informed on white supremacists to them. I liked most of them. (Like I said, them checks clear every damn time.)
My favorite lunch buddy for a long time was a retired Harvard professor, Jewish, as decent a human being as I have ever met. You might think it odd that a hog-riding, Confeddit-flag-flyin’ Waylon Jennings outlaw like me would make reservations ANYwhere for lunch, let alone with a yarmulked Harvard prof, but there you go. My favorite dance partner was a Jewish radical feminist (I know, I know, but I was tapping that ass). My dentist was Jewish. The biochemist I used to windsurf with on the Potomac was Jewish. Beth, the pediatrician I dated at NIH, was Jewish, and an absolute sweetheart. I learned the Texas two-step from a Jewish carpenter (no, another carpenter) who moonlighted as a dance instructor. Hey, you might also wonder why a shine-runnin’ prefab-rebel Duke Boy like me didn’t know fuck-all about the Texas two-step to begin with and had to learn the steps from a Shmuel, but I was too busy windsurfing with Ira after nibbling sushi with Dershowitz to pay too much attention to that “Southern” shit.
Familiarity – not fear, I swear to God it’s not fear – is why I don’t devote my life to obsessing about the maleficence of Jews. Simple familiarity is all; simple familiarity. Yes indeed, I’m VERY familiar with what happens to people who DO devote their lives to obsessing over the maleficence of Jews. Not for me, thanks. And what I am telling you – sorry, “y’all” – is that, because I casually know five Jews who were fairly cool as individuals, that everything 5,000 years of recorded human history has taught mankind about The Tribe is just a bunch of hate-filled cowflop. Like my dance instructor likes to say, “Vhy fight? Let’s dence!”
Are there Jews who do things politically I don’t like? Yes. Are there Jews who do things politically I LIKE? Next question, please.
Is there an Israeli lobby? Yes. Yet I have never encountered the evil Jews of The Conspiracy. That’s because I don’t like to think too much about these things. I know I’m just an ex-journalist scribbling on the Internet from sunny Mexico these days, but shoot, even EX-journalists disappear down here.
“Fuck the Alamo... Remember Ambrose Bierce!” is all I’m saying here.
I note that Israeli treatment of the Palestinians is indistinguishable from American treatment of the Iraqis and I fake temporary hearing loss whenever someone asks why Americans are in Iraq at all. Virtue does not exactly flood the world’s streets, anywhere. (‘We are all sinners’ boilerplate like that guarantees at least half my readership will nod sagely and forget which point it is that I’m specifically ducking.)
In particular, I do not rave against the Jews, because Jews as I have known them are not monolithic. Politically they have been all over the place, running the whole gamut from “Marxist” to “Trotskyite.”
I don’t see the Jews of the email. That Jews are tremendously influential in the media is a fact, easily verified on the Web. However, the leap from “Jews are powerful in the media” to “Jews are responsible for all social ills, the collapse of civilization, and everything I don’t like” is a bit of a stretch. Those I know have no idea why John and Vince loathe them, incidentally. Being hit on the head by a piano imparts little understanding of pianos. Further, never do I encounter from the Farouks and Vinces the idea that any Jew, ever, might have done anything good, however inadvertently. But then, like I said before, anti-Semites are all crazy. Or dangerously foreign.
My experience is distinctly otherwise. Let me tell you a story. In the early Fifties, polio was a nightmare for parents. Lots of children clunked around in braces or sat forever in wheel chairs. In summer, the epidemic season, our mothers wouldn’t let us go to public swimming pools because they were thought to be focuses of infection.
One day a fellow named Salk came out of a laboratory somewhere and said, “Hey, I’ve got this vaccine...” A bit later, some guys named King and Hoffman were heard shouting “NO HE DOESN’T” from a supply closet, but I guess you know who history remembers, eh?
Sabin came out of another laboratory, and said, “Hey, according to these notes I just – uhh, found – if we do thus and so and put it on sugar cubes, see, it will be oral....” You can’t imagine how welcome that vaccine was. Parents grabbed their children by the hair and sprinted through doors, sometimes not bothering to open them, to get to the clinic. And, heck, a lot of em ended up special-ordering bite-size caskets a couple of years later, but so what? The main thing is JEWS ENDED POLIO FOR THE REST OF US. Even if they didn’t.
Hint: Salk and Sabin were not Rastafarians. See, cause ol’ Fred knows it’s always safe to dump on niggers – nobody likes em and a good zinger at Remus’ expense helps the reader forget he was asking you about Hymie a minute ago.
So many of the Jewish crimes popular on the email circuit don’t stand up to examination. For instance, I hear repeatedly that during Vietnam America won in the field but that Jews stabbed Our Boys in the back by means of the anti-war movement, thus seeking to promote godless atheistic communism.
Not quite. The leadership of the anti-war movement was heavily Jewish. The movement itself was overwhelmingly Christian. And everybody knows the herd dictates to the leadership. That’s how movements work, see? The rabble decides for the elite.
People didn’t need help to weary of an endless, bloody, pointless war, in which their sons were dying, in a place they didn’t care about and could barely find on a map. The anti-war movement wasn’t a Jewish plot. It was a national revolt that BEGAN as a Jewish plot. Anyway, it provided enough covering fire to get the Civil Rights Voting Act in and the Immigration Act gutted clean without the Bellbottom Pants Christians catching on to what lay ahead.
Most of the things Jews are supposed to be doing, on examination, they aren’t. They use their stranglehold on the information-flow to get YOU to do it for them. But, hey, technically they’re innocent, right? I mean, yeah, sure, they’re innocent in the way OJ is, but still, we’re a nation of laws and those laws say HANDS OFF THE JEWS ever dang time. (Shucks, I get carried away and forget sometimes that I’m supposed to sound like a hick here. I’ll remember to add lots of “shoots” and “dangs” on the second draft, though.)
Is globalization a Jewish plot (as I’m told), or the inevitable and glorious One World of tomorrow, without war or famine or racism, and presided over by the wise and kind race that gave us Einstein and Salk?
Is destructive feminism a Jewish plot, or the result of the natural desire of young white gentile girls for higher pay, equal rights, nigger boyfriends and chlamydia?
Is the decline of education a Jewish plot, or the fault of lazy whites not sufficiently inspiring the spark of latent genius within sullen Raheem and deeply stupid Ricardo? If you believe the problem isn’t the Jews, it’s non-denominational “New York” and “Hollywood,” then kick off your snakeskin boots, podner; draw up to the far and set a spell. Y’all are reading the right column.
That’s why I don’t gnaw at myself about Jews. The last thing this ol’ boy needs is to piss them off, and besides, they’re completely innocent of all charges.

Who Are These Jokers Kidding?Richard Hartmann |
28 AUGUST 2004 | 30 AUGUST 2004 |
Fred Reed and I have what seems to be a shared problem, receiving hallucinatory notes from anti-Semitic readers who insist, “the Jews are behind everything.” |
Now, does anyone really say that? I don’t believe it for a second. Why the need to distort and ridicule? Would Paul Gottfried or Fred Reed care to publicly debate Alex Linder or myself? “Bring it on.” |
Like Reed, I also feel impelled to let my correspondents know that they have their heads screwed on the wrong way. |
Again. Why the need to insult and degrade? Nothing but respect and decorum for the “nuke the Arabs” crowd, but open season on the Jews’ critics? |
How can Jews, who account for less than two percent of the American population and for less than that in Europe, explain the Western world’s descent into multicultural lunacy, including the advocacy of open borders, the glorification of the Muslims as a peaceful and enriching presence, and the treatment of homosexual relations as a privileged human association? |
To put the question another way, How can the jews, who account for less than two percent of the American population, own nearly all of the news and entertainment media, which are the primary formative influence over America attitudes and opinions and have been for more than half a century. How can the same jews constitute the leadership of nearly all organized leftist political and intellectual activity over the past century, including Marxism and neo-conservatism. Easy. It’s in their interest to do so, so they do it. They have the power to do it through their dominance of the mass media, their financial power and organization. Billy Graham to Richard Nixon: “This stranglehold [of the jews on the media] has got to be broken or the country’s going down the drain.” “You believe that?” says Nixon “Yes, sir,” says Graham. “Oh, boy,” replies Nixon. “So do I. I can’t ever say that, but I believe it.” Who else in 1965 had the motive or the ability to open America’s borders? Who else wanted that? Was it Irish and German pressure groups who pushed for these changes? Was it organized Baptist pressure that influenced lawmakers to vote for these acts? Is this what Gottfried thinks? Does Gottfried not know that more than 50 percent of the Democratic party’s finances come from Jewish donors? Historically speaking the Democratic party has been the jewish party; jews being the only group on the left with any wealth or power or influence. Was it rich white gentiles in the media who advocated every destructive leftist policy and program and political and social attitude? Was it white gentiles who gave Hollywood its character? Where are all these white gentiles? Where is the white gentile conspiracy? All I see is powerful jewish organizations, jewish dominated mass media, and a lot of career-minded and deluded camp followers. Gottfried and Fred Reed know that we’re fighting a war with Iraq for Jews. Is this not so? Are they denying this? They understand that our whole foreign policy in the middle east is geared toward securing jewish interests. How could this be if the jews only constitute 2% of the America population and don’t have the power to shape policy and public opinion? Why is public opinion always against any group the jews are against? Why do Americans despise Arabs as much as they do ‘white supremists’ and did Germans? The rosetta stone of American politics: Jewish interests. Jewish interests dictate the meaning of political correctness as disseminated through the mass media. As jewish interests change, what is politically correct changes: that is why the ‘liberal media’ today are firmly behind the war in Iraq, flags a-flutter on every screen since 911, a neo-fascism in the works. The executives didn’t change. Their ideology didn’t change. Conditions changed. The new patriotism is kosher: it is in jewish interests. Racism is politically correct – acceptable, anyway – as long as it is directed against the jews’ enemies. The anti-war movement has no steam – it is still out there, wondering why things aren’t working the same this time. Here’s why: there is no jewish interest in and no jewish support behind it; no jewish leadership, organization, financial backing and media placement. And so it is not politically correct. Jewish interests – the key to understanding American politics. The Jews constitute far less a percentage of the population of most European countries than America, and yet in these countries it is illegal to speak against jews or their genocidal multi-racialist policies. Are jews not actively pursuing the same legislation here? Does the FBI not go on about its partnership with the ADL? How could this be when the jews are but a 2% minority? Are you guys kidding? When the jews of Clinton’s administration (Sec. of State Albright, Sec. of Defense Cohen, Nat. Sec. Adv. Berger) bombed Serbia for its ethnic policies, and all the mass media and all of the major jewish organizations in America supported this campaign, which NATO General jew Wesley Kahn Clark explained thusly: “There is no room in modern Europe for ethnically pure states,” were there any other groups seriously advocating it? No, but everyone else went along and kept their mouths shut. It was the power of the media to shape public opinion and distort the facts which mattered, and enabled the jew-dominated Clinton government to pursue this policy. |
If one subtracted the Jewish vote in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, would these states be significantly less leftist in their politics? |
Ok, Saul, and what if you subtracted jewish money from the bargain, not just now, but for the past 50 years? There would be no Democratic party. There would have been no civil rights movement, no money for it, no legal representation for it. There would have been no pressure on Congress to change the immigration law in 1965. And what if the media had been staffed with white gentiles instead of jews during this period? And the film industry? Paul Gottfried: a jew, so a liar. |
Most of the left-of-center votes (within our narrow party spectrum) cast in those states come from nominal Catholics, and these votes are given to social and economic leftists who are also usually self-described Catholics. Both the Eastern and Midwestern liberal vote is disproportionately Catholic and comes from non-Jews belonging to what used to be a very conservative confession. Unless shown differently, I shall have to conclude on the basis of my evidence that Catholics tend sharply toward the left in England and Canada as well as in the US. |
Are you suggesting that there were no Catholics, or substantially fewer Catholics, in the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, and ‘50s, prior to the influence of television and the jew-led counterculture of the 1960s? No. But regardless of whether they voted for Democratic or Republican economic policies, the social and racial policies that came to characterize the left in the 1960s and 70s and now the right of the ‘90s and ‘00s, did not even exist; they had not yet been popularized by the jewish media and the jew-led counterculture. The whole country has moved in a certain direction, shaped and prodded by the influence of the media, and that is what counts. Not who votes for what political party. The same political parties operative 150 years ago are operative today on completely different principles; they conform to public opinion, not shape it. The purpose of their organization is not to advocate principles, but to garner votes and a share of power by appealing to the public and making themselves useful to various interests. What matters is public opinion, and this is shaped by the mass media. The character of politics in America has changed immensely during the past 50 years, reflecting the changes in public sentiment brought on by the influence of television and jew-led political and social movements. |
And, as far as I can tell, this trend has nothing significant to do with Jews inside or outside the media. |
Well then you don’t know shit. |
I am also led to a similar conclusion about mainline Protestant church leaders, who sound politically and morally like Hollywood actors. |
Corrupt church leaders are just trying to sell themselves to the public, as always. They conform to the attitudes of the public, whereas the media shape those attitudes. Church leaders, business leaders, entertainers, and everyone else operates in an atmosphere over which they have little control; they have to conform to political correctness; the jews of the media shape it. But you liars are content to speak about political correctness as though it were a force of nature, mysterious and unexplainable, unrelated to any real interests or tangible power. |
Clearly these leaders are not imitating the politics of Michael Moore or Jesse Jackson because of their contact with Jewish journalists. Having just returned from listening to a Protestant convocation speaker at my college, whom most of my colleagues enthusiastically applauded, celebrating our “universal citizenship” and the imminent end of Western nation states, I am still searching for the smudged fingerprint of international Jewry behind these ravings. |
I’ll help you find it. Could these people have found any audience willing to listen to them 60 years ago? No, not more than a few thousand lunatics nationwide would have listened to them. Now they have half the public willing to listen to their mad ravings due to the influence of Hollywood and jewish television on public opinion over the past half century. It’s the same with our popular culture. Degenerates and antisocial elements have always existed in society. Now they’re given record contracts and television shows by the controlling jewish executives. There are many elements of decay, but none would have had any serious effect without the jewish power element. |
Those Jews who were present at the speech, one from Italy, were struck by the lack of reality of the speaker, who thought of himself as a “global citizen.” Perhaps my correspondents could have traced for them the causal chain by which Jews had brought such madness to American Christians. Where I differ with Fred Reed, whose irreverent humor I have long admired, is in his concern about not appearing anti-Jewish. Fred goes out of his way to prove that he adores Jews, including Jewish feminists, and he hopes that Americans never forget the contributions of those identifiably Jewish scientists who helped end the polio epidemic of our youths. One may need to bring up here the problem of ascribed national grace. Am I supposed to like Abe Foxman, who blames everyone and his cousin for the Holocaust, because of the scientific prowess of Jonas Salk? This is a bit like suggesting that Hitler shouldn’t seem so bad once we realize that the Austrians also gave us Mozart. In any case it’s irrelevant whether Fred Reed is socially simpatico with Jews in and around the District of Columbia for understanding what needs to be emphasized, that our cultural and political degeneration as a constitutional society has occurred largely independently of Jewish influence. Most of what my anti-Jewish correspondents lament could be accounted for without considering the Jewish-controlled share of the media or the impact of Jewish votes. The number of Jews in Sweden is negligible, yet politically and morally it is a far more radicalized country than the US. |
Ahem. The jewish victory in WW2, and the European defeat; the defeat of nationalists everywhere in Europe, set the tone for the subsequent decades. Nationalists everywhere were banned or exiled and leftist governments installed. There is no free speech in Europe, no right to bear arms; not since the US occupation of 1945. Europeans have been swallowing American-jewish culture for 50 years. If the European nationalists had defeated the Soviet Union, instead of the US and the Soviet Union conquering a half of Europe each, how would Sweden’s culture be today? Or England’s? Or Italy’s? Would these nations be on the verge of destruction now, with below replacement level birth rates, flooded with foreigners and laws against nationalist political activity, laws against speaking out against the jews and their policies? Would American-jewish culture; Hollywood, MTV, rap music and modern art, be the culture of Europe? No. Only because Europe’s resistance to the jews was defeated in WW2; Germany, Italy, and nationalistic volunteers from every country in Europe, is Europe now on the brink of destruction. The shaping influence in modern western society: the media, is almost entirely in jewish hands. The changes that have taken place over the past 50 years have been engineered by these jews, in service of jewish interests. They are not a coincidence, they are not a natural development, they are not and never have been inherent in the western character. Jews have not ‘gone along with it;’ they have led it, and are benefiting from it. Alongside the destruction of European society has arisen the state of Israel, which is now poised to become a world power, dominating all of the middle east. |
Perhaps the reach and behavioral intrusiveness of Swedish socialism may have more to do with this situation than the presence of a small stable Jewish minority in the country. The Germans for decades have been raised to hate themselves as a people, and when Daniel Goldhagen visited this guilt-obsessed country after arguing in a book full of factual errors in 1996 that Germans killed Jews because they had all been “eliminationist anti-Semites,” he was wildly cheered wherever he went. The Germans have an organization “Anti-Deutsch,” consisting of thousands of young Germans, that demonstrates in favor of the saturation bombing of German cities in World War Two. But this weird organization is not Jewish; in fact Germany contains a far lower percentage of Jews than the US. To the response that Jewish groups have succeeded in making Germans hate themselves, the counter-response is obvious: “Who the hell causes the Germans, except for the Germans themselves, to behave masochistically?” |
Hmmm... your theory seems to break up upon the fact that German culture without jewish influence, i.e., in the 1930s and prior, was anything but anti-German, and it took the most destructive war in history and the guilt-inducing psychological warfare and lie campaign of the post-war period to destroy the German national character the way it has been destroyed. Likewise European culture was more or less healthy and developing in a healthy direction up until WW2. |
And who orders white Christian Americans to yammer about their social sins and about the supposed evil of their national and civilization identity? |
Bogus question. Who ever claimed they were acting on orders? When you’re raised and formed in an atmosphere in which these ideas are dominant then you cannot be held responsible for accepting them. What you should be asking is who is responsible for creating this atmosphere and these ideas and imposing them on us, not blaming school children and television viewers for being victims of this brainwashing. But then you’re a jew – you’re not ‘us.’ It should not surprise us that you want to shift blame to the victims of the brainwashing and away from the jewish brainwashers. And it should not surprise us that certain career-minded folk want to blame abstract “cultural marxists” and “secular humanists” or a “western death wish” instead of a real, tangible group with power that will retaliate when its interests are threatened. Many a former employee of somewhere has learned this over the years: Congressmen, journalists, teachers, etc. But don’t worry, Saul, not all of us have swallowed the brainwashing, as your emails indicate, and you can be sure that those who are responsible will be held responsible. |
As my recent books try to make clear, there is something gravely wrong with majority cultures that ostentatiously despise their inherited identity – and there is no reason to assume that it would not be there if Jews or blacks disappeared. |
But we already know this to be false if we examine the jew-free cultures of Germany and Italy in the 1930s and the culture of the European world in general before WW2. The entire intellectual basis for the leftism of the post-war era was formed by jewish intellectuals during this century and the latter half of the last. Marx, Freud, Boas, the Frankfurt School, and all the rest. Will Gottfried deny this? These jewish movements were run out Europe in the 1930s and ‘40s. They came and set up shop in the United States and moved into the universities, eventually coming to dominate the intellectual climate of American academia. These jewish intellectuals did not behave like objective students of their fields; they had no tolerance at all for disagreement. They reviled and ridiculed anyone who dared to disagree with their ‘theories,’ or should I say, who obstructed their agenda, and in this way the basis for “political correctness” was laid. It was the jewish victory in WW2 that enabled leftism to contaminate the European world. It was the lack of serious nationalistic resistance in America to these jews that set the stage for the post-war counterculture which enveloped the universities and popular culture, and it was this lack of resistance to the jews in America that had allowed our military might to be used to crush the nationalistic resistance in Europe 20 years earlier. This is why Europe is now dying, because all of its healthy elements, its nationalistic elements, its whole political and cultural leadership, was exterminated by the victorious allies of WW2, America and the Soviet Union, and replaced by a jewish culture and leftist leadership. This idea that there is something inherent in our European character that causes our people to act against their own interests or to hate themselves is a vicious lie. European societies have existed for thousands of years without any sort of leftist or self-destructive tendencies. The development of these tendencies go hand in hand with one thing: the emancipation of jews and their entry into European society during the past two centuries. Jewish interests and jewish influence are the basis of leftism, nothing else! To say otherwise is an insult and direct attack upon Europeans everywhere! It is a deliberate lie aimed to mislead and confuse us and exonerate our enemies, or else a ploy by hacks to protect their own asses. Anyone who protects our enemies must be treated like an enemy! |
Daring Jews, like Noam Chomsky and Israel Shahak, who have played up Jewish bigotry and ethnic nationalism, have been widely denounced as “self-hating Jews.” But WASPs who dwell on their group’s prejudices and alleged hate-crimes can expect to be generally cheered. |
Cheered by some, while others remain silent out fear of ostracism, fear of being politically incorrect, and in much of Europe fear of being locked up. Yes, leftism is white self-hatred. But for the vast majority of jews who are leftists, and who make up the leadership of leftism, it is not self-hatred, but white hatred. White self-hatred is induced by these jewish leftists, their media influence, their intellectual and cultural influence. The whole jewish-leftist intellectual atmosphere on college campuses and the corresponding propaganda of the media is a jewish program, a jewish campaign aimed at advancing jewish interests and securing jewish power, by destroying potential sources of resistance to jewish pre-eminence. Only by destroying the self-confidence and self-image and identity of whites and suppressing nationalism everywhere can jews hope to retain their dominance over the culture and politics of western societies. Jewish leftists are not ‘ideological,’ they’re merely pursuing their own interests. At the same time that they’re ‘leftists’ they’re also Zionists and supporters of the state of Israel and its policies. While 80-90% of American-resident jews vote for the Democrats, 90% of them are also pro-Israel. They’re only ‘leftists’ when it comes to harming us, when promoting policies that harm us. In Israel they support ethnic cleansing, ethnic exclusivism, expansion and military conquest. Here they promote multiculturalism, white guilt, universal tolerance and political correctness. It is perfectly consistent: among themselves they promote what serves their group, among us they promote what serves their group by harming our group. There is no contradiction when you understand the basis of their activity. Leftism is simply jewish politics in a gentile society; jewish intellectuals, jewish money, jewish organizers, jewish propagandists, advancing jewish group interests by rendering harmless potential sources of resistance to themselves: nationalism, racial identity, cultural cohesion, religious identity, etc. Leftism is the jewish program for subduing a nation and bringing themselves to power in it; destroying the nation’s pride and self-confidence and cohesiveness, and thus creating conditions in which jewish power can thrive unopposed. Seriously, how is it that in a country that is 90% Christian, public displays of Christianity are practically illegal? It is the jews alone who wanted this, for fear of the potentially antiSemitic consequences of a strong Christian identity in the population and the effect such might have on their status and position. And at 2% of the population they’re able to do it, they have the power. It is no different where race is concerned. Racial identity is as much a threat to the jewish dominance of western societies as religious identity; any identity, any cohesion among our people is a danger to jewish power over us. It is jews alone who have had the motive and the ability to suppress nationalism throughout the western world for the past half century, jews alone who have blocked the advance of right wing and nationalistic political movements; through censorship, through distortion, through ridicule and demonization, through financial and media pressure; jews alone have had the motive and the ability to suppress nationalistic feeling and political activity in the white world. And what they’ve done to us is precisely what they want to do to the Muslim world, and for this reason want to use American military might to subdue the Muslim world and open it up to jewish influence. How long before Hollywood movies and jewish television programs come to dominate the culture of the new Iraq? How long before Judeo-Islam is proclaimed, and Sunni preachers are bewailing the historical guilt of the Muslim peoples for their intolerance and anti-Semitism? Well, that is how the jews would have it. That is what they’re aiming for. It isn’t just about Israeli security, it is about total jewish control. |
I wonder whether my anti-Jewish correspondents have ever thought the obvious, that minorities often behave the way majorities want them to. America’s German and Sephardic Jews in the nineteenth century tried to model themselves on WASP high society, believing that they had to do so to move up socially and professionally. |
Bullshit. jews have been the foremost subversives and radicals, actively trying to overthrow the status quo and gain influence and power, as jews. |
Today Jews who spew hate on gentiles also move up, because they are doing to Euro-American-Christians what the majority society wants, blaming that society for the ills of humanity and urging it to become a multicultural mess. |
Bullshit; they’re not conforming to our way and never have. We’re conforming to them, to the culture they’ve built for us in order to advance their interests. They’re the ones with the power, not us. They remain as jewish as they’ve ever been; we’re just ceasing to be white. |
This should not be read as a justification of the usual suspects but it is a reminder of why Dershowitz, Foxman, and Goldhagen make money and enjoy popularity among loads of Christians as well as Jews. Unlike nineteenth-century Germany or an older America, in our society it pays for bad-mannered, resentful Jews to exhibit their worst qualities. They are providing a morally confused and historically misinformed majority with what it craves. |
Jews are the leadership, the shapers of the modern anti-white culture and intellectual paradigm you lament. And it is anything but harmful to themselves. Rather, they are in their element now in the West, more powerful than ever before, with a dumbed down, self-hating population of dazed media-slaves to use and exploit. Jews get their empire in the middle east while white kids die to secure it, and we Europeans and Americans get racial oblivion in the coming decades. I’ll have a few jews sum it up: Earl Raab: “The Census Bureau has just reported that about half of the American population will soon be non-white or non-European. And they will all be American citizens. We have tipped beyond the point where a Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail in this country. We have been nourishing the American climate of opposition to bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not yet been perfected, but the heterogeneous nature of our population tends to make it irreversible – and makes our constitutional constraints against bigotry more practical than ever. (Earl Raab, Jewish Bulletin, 19 February 1993, p. 23.) The ADL’s Earl Raab served for thirty-five years as Executive Director of the San Francisco Jewish Community Relations Council and is currently Director of the Perlmutter Institute for Jewish Advocacy at Brandeis University. Raab, like most Jews and all Jewish organizations, promotes multiracialism and nonwhite immigration in the United States and other majority-White nations, while supporting Jewish racialism (Zionism) and a Jews-only immigration policy in Israel. Philip Weiss: “Remaking the American power structure without Jews is like remaking sports without blacks. At least when it comes to blacks in sports, you can talk about it; you can say that blacks changed sports. But no one is allowed to speak up about something we all quietly know: Jews changed America.” “There is hardly an area of public life on which Jews have not had a profound impact in the last generation, as discrimination against them ended and as they gained power. The civil rights movement reflects Jewish values of justice. Feminism is a reflection of liberal Jewish matriarchal values (note the Jewish groups that are talking about Roe v. Wade in opposing John Ashcroft for Attorney General). Ever-more-powerful Jews in the media have ushered in the information age. Psychologically attuned Jews and Hollywood Jews changed the language of popular culture – Seinfeld, Weinstein... altogether they represent the force of Jewish values coming into public life.” “...the greatly diminished influence of church on public mores wouldn’t have happened without secularized Jews gaining cultural power.” “And no one ever talks about it. The most important change in establishment culture in the last 25 years, and it goes unspoken.” “There are so many Jews in the media that the cone of silence falls over the territory where you might expect wider discussion.” “I remember when I got to Harvard in 1972, and all my outsider Jewish energy was focused on tearing down the WASP bastions that kept me back. And we tore them down.” “...Jewish imagination has been the most powerful force in elite life in the last generation... the celebration of feminism, the emergence of the media: all have been spearheaded by Jews who re-imagined America.” “So long as Jews continue to see themselves as powerless, they fail to recognize the effect they have had on society and come to terms with their real spot: big winners in the new order. It looks like the next chapter in the democratic discourse is going to be about winners and losers in the globalist pursuit of excellence.” (‘Jews in Bush’s Cabinet? Don’t Hold Your Breath’ by Philip Weiss, New York Observer, 22 December 2001.) Fuck you, jew Gottfried, and fuck you, jew-tool Fred Reed. Fondest wish: That one day we can state truly, “Like all jews, Paul Gott Fried!” |
Dear Mr. Gottfried,
You and Fred Reed deserve credit for at least addressing the anti-Semites who dog you so. No doubt it was enervating to receive all that crank email insisting that the Jews are behind our cultural melt-down. You and Reed seem to place a great deal of emphasis on weight of numbers as your argument, but a quick look will show what a red herring the numbers argument really is.
When the British ruled India in the 19th century, they ruled a sub-continent of some 300 million people with an army of soldiers and civil servants of what, some 200,000 men. That’s a ratio of over 1,000-1 of ruled to rulers! Yet I suppose the story of British rule of India is a myth, since the numbers offered are so lopsided.
I weigh just a little over 200 lbs. My Cadillac has an empty weight of over 5,000 lbs. I thus weigh a mere 4% of my car’s weight and can’t even muster 1% of its horsepower. I suppose the next time a cop pulls me over for speeding, I can say “But officer, this car is so vastly heavier and more powerful than me. How in the world could I possibly control it? Do I really deserve this ticket?” If he lets me off the hook, I will honor you and Reed by naming it the “Reed-Gottfried defense.”
The individual AIDS viruses in one infected human body, I would guess, don’t even weigh 1 gram by the time they dispatch their victim. So maybe Thabo Mbeki was on to something when he said publicly that the HIV virus couldn’t possibly cause AIDS.
Maybe you would accuse me of spurious reasoning for using my above mentioned British rule of India argument, since the English had all the guns. But if the pen is mightier than the sword, how much more powerful than the pen is the cathode ray tube? Do you believe the networks that supply the ammunition to all those tubes are controlled by self-hating Presbyterians? Mormons? Quakers?
I’m sure that you would object that the vast majority of American Jews don’t live in Hollywood or New York, and thus bear no blame for the sewer that popular culture hath become. Fair enough. The next question is: What is it about Jewish culture that creates the Dershowitzes and Wolfowitzes, Spielbergs and Spellings and other riff-raff that leads our nation, and all other Western nations, into the abyss?
Could it possibly be due to the fact that as a minority culture living amidst majorities for at least 2,000 years, the Jews require a low-intensity antagonistic relationship with their gentile hosts in order to preserve their separateness amongst an otherwise tolerant gentile community that, over time, would absorb the Jews among them due to mere strength of numbers? Perhaps the truth is that if anti-Semitism didn’t exist, it would be necessary for the JEWS to create it!
The reason that I am telling you this is that if any Jew can understand the “anti-Semitic” argument, it’s you. If you can’t understand anti-Semitism, then no Jew can. What is anti-Semitism, after all, but normal human reaction to Jewish behavior? And who is better equipped to study Jewish behavior than you?
This letter to you can be understood to be a last gasp, if you will, to get you and your kind to understand and cross the vast gap that exists betwixt us twain. Your ancestors have created it, therefore your people must surmount it. Otherwise your family’s trauma at the hand of the Nazis may be revisited on you in your lifetime.
Not a threat, or even a promise, but just a warning.
It’s the least I could do.
