…AND DOWN FOR THE COUNT.
A few weeks back, a short clip of Joe Rogan’s show surfaced on Facebook, in which he chatted with Gad Saad, a Canadian academic working and teaching in the field of Economics, but best known outside of that discipline for his coinage of the salient phrase, “Suicidal empathy,” a perfect description of the West’s willingness to welcome, in the name of misbegotten tolerance, a culture actively and avowedly hostile to Western values, a culture with no interest whatsoever in assimilation, but, rather, a culture with a clearly stated intent of colonization by soft Jihad.
Saad and his family fled Lebanon decades ago, escaping Islam and its concomitant, ongoing and internationally metastasizing reign of terror as it applies to Jews.
And this applies to Christians, too, for those of you skeptics out there, not paying attention. And Atheists. And anyone who does not bend the knee and convert to that particular faith. They don’t call us “Infidels” for nothing, and certainly not ironically.
And “Globalize the Intifada!” means just what it says. It isn’t about Israel. That’s just an excuse for the homicidal and the credulous to murder Jews where they find them—and for their henchmen to blame the victims of these murders for the crimes committed against them.
It’s about killing Jews. killing every fucking one of them. Including the “As a Jew…” kapos. They’ll get there’s, too, soon enough, mark my words.
Saad has stated explicitly, a statement with which I wholeheartedly agree, that the all too steadily and readily applied neologism “Islamophobia” is a cynical construct of the Muslim Brotherhood, a bald and blatant attempt to define objection to a stated objective of the elimination of Jews and the establishment of an expanded intercontinental Caliphate by Jihad, hard and soft, as “racist;” as opposed to good common, don’t invite an unapologetic serial murderer into your house and expect to come out alive, sense.
And, for the cherry pickers among you, yes, of course, Saad’s politics will never be mistaken for progressive, to say the very least. He is a Middle Eastern Jew, with actual life experience in dealing with a culture that seeks his elimination, and the elimination of every other Jew available, as opposed to a coddled and privileged crowd of cosplayers romanticizing colonizers, rapists and murdering terrorists as folk heroes, under dictates originated by the Soviet Union and monetized, to enormous success, by Iraq and Qatar, among others.
Too much STAR WARS, not enough TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, I would guess, is a culprit in this fatuous homegrown credulity.
So, go ahead, and demonstrate your delusional high ground of misperceived moral acuity. I’ll wait.
…
All finished, I hope? All right then.
In the clip mentioned above, Saad asks his host how many Jews he thinks there are, in, you know, the world. Rogan’s Beagle Boys face puckers thoughtfully, and responds, and I paraphrase, “A billion or so…”
I would guess that such a number would seem to account for the default presumption of the overwhelming power of social control, media manipulation, and financial influence manifested by the international Jew, a presumption clearly held by this wildly popular controlling, manipulating, and influencing podcaster.
When his guest disabused him of this notion, correcting him with the actual number—not quite sixteen million—you could almost see a new understanding on that fist face; if that’s true, they must really be fucking powerful!
Apropos of everything, Rogan has also been quoted as saying, “Jews like money, right?” I have to assume his assessment of the relationship between Blacks and innate rhythm, and that of the Irish with alcoholism, will be along shortly.
It might be worth noting that this political mover and influential shaker broke out on a game show entitled FEAR FACTOR, where contestants would eat various disgusting shit, and perform various disgusting, humiliating, and degrading feats, in dogged pursuit of cash and prizes.
One conclusion to be drawn from this career of his is we have here a perfect metaphor for too many things to mention. And two, we might have even another explanation for the declining birth rate.
But, as ever, I digress.
And, further as ever, I bury the lede.
The important takeaway from the above is all about the numbers—the real, and the perceived—and the understanding of what those numbers mean in modern politics, autocratic or electoral.
To paraphrase the old ad campaign for mediocre, mass manufactured, cellophane wrapped rye bread, you don’t have to be Jewish to know that a Golden Age of casually benign indifference to Jews has ended; replaced by the revival of old school canards which likely seem brand new to the willfully ignorant historically amnesiac dipshit brandishers of such bullshit, not to mention, but mention I will, streamlined, bright and shiny versions of every fucking slander and libel we have had to endure since Saul’s much more successful spin off, two thousand years ago and counting.
But enough about how ancient history, lessons unlearned, are back to fuck us up, left, right and sideways.
Speaking of the right, that side of the aisle has always been a lost cause for us. That phony baloney Holy Land philo-semitism hooey is merely a beard for Christian hopes and prayers, just waiting for Jews to come to their senses and buy into their holier than thou sequel before the Rapture, or some other such mythological nonsense.
The boyishly reckless pricks and girlishly feckless cunts of the current and emerging far right, the “Hitler was so cool,” “Jews will not replace us,” “Synagogues of Satan” posse comitatus, are terrifying enough. They’re young, so they’re going to be with us for an awfully long time; the atrophied and morally compromised gerontocracy of the Republican party will wither and die soon enough, and these shitheads are going to move in and take their place, by dint of majority alone.
And, as I’ve noted elsewhere, this parliament of young unfuckables have no actual life experience whatsoever, so they’ll be making it up as they go along, instructions not only not included, but considered a waste of time by an innate, not to say inbred, ignorant arrogance that gives the Dunning-Kruger effect as perfect a definition as might be found.
If you honestly think the far right is a miserable cesspool of dumbassed shit right now—as I do—just give it a few years. For all that Gad Saad has to say about the left, if he lives long enough, he’ll be a dead issue at the hands of those Yankee fascists who share, via that proverbial sociopolitical historical horseshoe, Islamism’s distaste for his type, despite his embrace of much current right wing thought and ideology.
And now, as you nod your heads in sad and rueful agreement with that assessment, here’s another opportunity for the cherry picking coterie, what about all that whataboutism division. Get ready for your two minutes hate…
…
And then there’s the left, which has been the traditional safe space, the home base, for American Jews for what feels like forever. I mean, for fuck’s sake, all those fucking late 19th century White Anglo-Saxon Protestant plutocrats had it right about one thing, for certain. They feared that immigrants from eastern Europe would pollute the gene pool of their mostly ignorant, illiterate, and willing to be abused wage slave chattel labor force.
Of course, it wasn’t about genetics, or eugenics, despite their pseudo-scientific, soon to be an inspiration to future Nazis, mumbo jumbo that they should have been worried about. It was about politics. it was my grandparents, and the Jews of my grandparent’s generation, Ashkenazi Socialists and communists to a profound degree, who brought Socialist activism to the New World from the Old.
For decades, it was those escapees from the shtetl, and their children, who organized, who underpinned the labor movement that transformed the United States, fighting hammer and tong—sickle, too, to be fair—for what we now take for granted as commonsensical rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
One more reason for Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and Father Coughlin to hate the fuck out of us, right?
It was those Jews, energizing the assault on the policies of a laissez faire, who gives a fuck about the common man federal government, in the wake of the catastrophic economic collapse of 1929, that ultimately led to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, and this is when things begin to get a bit shaky, a bit murky.
Concurrent with the Roosevelt administration, and the application of Benito Mussolini’s invention of fascism to the failed German state by the new elected by popular vote Reich Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, well before the so called Final Solution, Josef Stalin was murdering the Jews who’d joyfully and willfully soldiered under Trotsky, himself already a fugitive from Russian justice, in the creation of the Soviet Union.
These Jews were perfectly useful idiots who had served their purpose in the revolution, demonstrating a transcendent loyalty to the party, and, because they were Jews—really, that’s it—were considered threats to Stalin’s grip on power. This fealty set a standard for a perfect idiocy that would ignore the obvious potential consequences of mistaking the trope, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” for an existential truth; a standard that persists to this day in modern progressive circle jerks.
It was only Stalin’s fortuitous death in 1953 that circumvented the planned mass murder of another nationwide pogrom, this one to eliminate Jewish doctors in Russia. And by this time, my people and many if not most of their fellows and fellow travelers had evolved into anticommunist Democratic Socialists for life; a paradigm shift which had no impact on HUAC and its own hayseed Jew baiting, American style when it came after their asses for testimony before the Senate committee.
But let’s backtrack a decade, and not let the Roosevelt administration off the hook. Despite all his work for the working man and woman, FDR and his socioeconomic ilk maintained that inbred plutocratic blueblood disdain/distaste for Jews, certainly of the Eastern European variety.
See above, in re: eugenics, etc.
The Roosevelt administration, despite the concerted efforts to get him into the White House invested in by all those Ashkenazi Democrats, all the efforts in unity put into play by all those Jewish Democratic Socialists in the name of the Popular Front once the two decade interregnum was over and cross border international hostility recommenced, those patrician, pampered and spoiled children of the Gilded Age let European Jewry be murdered, that massive crime made systematically possible by purchases from their Ivy league classmates who ran International Business Machines.
But these still jittery American Jews, having learned assimilation the hard way, chose to ignore, and/or forgive, this indifference to the ethnic slaughter of their relatives who hadn’t made it west. Roosevelt remained an admired Olympian figure in my house, and in the lives of most of those who’d made the Democratic party their home, shifting from the wild-eyed Socialism and Bolshevism of youth to middle class liberalism, to live far more comfortable lives.
Thanks to the push and shove of those radicals, the federal government became a welfare state, an institution that existed to protect a citizenry that had previously been merely exploited; a majority that created a postwar USA which treated the children of those exploited immigrants as men and women of value.
White men and women, to be sure. That struggle was yet to come. And my family was there for that, too.
Jews had been reduced internationally by that mechanized murder to some eleven million, with five million or so of those living in the United States. Other than those onetime Trotskyites from City College who shifted to the right to become the intellectual locus of what would be later called Neoconservatism, American Jews remained mostly committed to left liberal causes of social justice and civil rights, through the 1950s, a decade both complacently somnolent and riddled with anxiety in equal measure.
Trust me on this, and believe you me—I was there.
And, as I was there, born in 1950, I was part of the postwar generation that watched as a majority of those onetime firebrands of the 1930s, rescued by the New Deal they’d helped to create, who had survived the catastrophe of the 1934-1945 version of international warfare, men and women who had achieved lives and lifestyles beyond their imagining, and had settled into middle age, some liberal, some conservative, but rarely remaining radical, or, even particularly political, for that matter.
To be clear, I’m talking about my aunts and uncles.
Thus, what remained of that American left wing came to be dominated, in the majority, by the influx of a swarm of privileged children of often well to do parents, with no tissue connecting them to the issues that had made an American left possible, and, yes, necessary; a new generation raised in previously unimagined middle class comfort, whose politics were dominated and defined by a moral commitment to equal rights for all, and an opposition to a foreign war fought for murky and often incomprehensible geopolitical reasons.
This began the transformation of the left, first in the United States and then in the rest of the Western World, as it became dominated by the first generation radicalized not be actual experience, but by education, and yes, indoctrination; a reality that persists to this day, for better or worse.
To my eyes, most definitely for the worse.
As for me, the politics of my forebears remained in me, body and soul. Thus, as a member of that generation, I was a part of that movement, until I came to understand just how much of the public displays of political unrest were all too often no more than performative, cynical acts of attention getting nihilism.
Not to mention, but as ever, mention I will, a means to enable getting high and getting laid.
Again, trust me. I was there. “Girls say yes to boys who say no” was a popular wall poster in a time that popularized wall posters. We could only hope.
All this said, my heart and soul remained committed to the left and to leftist causes, by my vote and by my wallet. That said, I remained wary of too many of the personalities who rose to the top of the left liberal hierarchy, and to the rhetoric of what, as noted, had already begun its transformation into the modern progressive movement, with its concentration on ideology and identity politics, at the expense of the struggle of the classes, except in the most performative of terms.
And, now, to finally circle back to the discussion and implication of those numbers that were just waiting to do their part at the top of this screed.
In the eight decades since the midcentury extermination of European Jews was brought to an abrupt end, we have reproduced to bring the international population of Jews roughly equal to the number before the last time we were held universally responsible for mankind’s ills. Roughly half of those Jews live in the United States, the rest scattered across the Western world and the Middle East.
Until recently, I might have said American Jews were living comfortably, but really now, not any longer, and, with all due respect, likely never again.
The left has always held the right accountable for the depredations of the extremists of its past, and rightfully so. On the other hand, that left has always conveniently ignored the brutality of authoritarian leftist regimes preceding its own origins; if any acknowledgment is made, at all, these are addressed as anomalies, one offs, bad apples, ignoring the extensive catalogue of murderous outrage.
This propensity for condemnation of the right for mass homicidal trespasses, while reserving self forgiveness for the same sort of horror show, has never been a good look for the left.
The Soviet Union, with all its longtime antipathy for Jews intact, as irony bereft a nation as one might find, reacted with hurt feelings when modern Israel, founded as a Democratic Socialist state, rejected the idea of partnering up with the Soviets to extend Russian rule into the Middle East, choosing instead to ally itself with the West; guilt over the images from the liberated camps put the damper on at least overt and public Jew baiting in the US and Western Europe, a distaste which just lay there, dormant, as we now know.
This antipathy of the USSR was further exacerbated by Israel beating the living shit out of its attackers—armed as they were by the Soviets—in its typically defensive 1967 war. The gall of Jews thinking they had the right to defend themselves has always put the rest of the world on fainting couches, an unfortunate mindset that just won’t go the fuck away, no matter how often they are attacked, and how often they have successfully, against absurd odds, defended themselves.
With the still living memory of the slaughter of Jews barely two decades old, the reviving of classic antisemitism made for inoperative optics for the Jew baiters of the Soviet Union. The KGB finally came around and understood that propaganda and rebranding, with a long con that Charles Ponzi would have admired, was their only hope.
Despite the legend of Jews and their demonic social puppetry, this decades long campaign has finally borne poisonous fruit. And, I tend to believe that its success is far greater than those now long gone KGB apparatchiks might have even hoped, back in the dim dead days of the twentieth century.
For all the shelf life of the charge of covert cultural puppetry practiced by the Jews behind the curtain, we clearly could have learned a thing or two from Yuri Andropov. His work outfoxed and fucked us but good.
We find ourselves now in a world in which the left—from left of center to the, you should pardon the expression, not that I give a fuck what you think, lunatic fringe—has ceased to be a home for American Jews, and Jews across the Western world.
The strange bedfellows mixed marriage of Soviet propaganda to Islamic jihadist colonial expansionism/terrorism, now engaged in a menage a trois with several generations of Western leftists finding a societal outlet for their guilt and shame over their privileged upbringing/daddy issues in Oikophobia, has created a cocktail toxic to Jews worldwide, and, whether you like it or not, Western Civilization as well.
The petri dish of all of this would seem to be the United Kingdom. In the simplest, crudest and harshest terms, the unassimilated bloc of Muslim voters who vote with one voice is too large to ignore, and must be accommodated to win votes for any party not called Tory.
As per David Baddiel, “Jews don’t count.”
But, as also noted, the numbers certainly do.
In the United States, as recently as only a few years ago, this modern progressive alliance with a murderous, homophobic, racist, misogynist, medievalist theocracy with wish dreams to recreate the Caliphate across the globe, that has metastasized into a serious threat to the west, seemed too extreme, too ridiculous a mismatch, to be taken seriously by the Democratic party—let alone liberal democracy.
As noted, the elected betas of the right must serve and enable their manifestly ideologically incoherent base, or risk endangering their above the fray lifestyle, long enough to die at their desks, and give the zealously committed neofascists the opportunity to move into the corner office and show the world what can happen here.
So, too, the ancient gray eminences of what remains of Democratic liberalism are already well on their way to their graves, as well, but seem all too willing to make a pitstop for an entente with the representative voices of that lunatic fringe; and, of course, some of these threats to the West have already been elected, without any help from the soon enough to be dead and buried wheezing geezers of Congress or the Senate.
It’s a transactional world, and, as noted, numbers count.
Muslims outnumber Jews in the UK by more than tenfold, obviating the vote of the tiny Jewish minority, elevating the existential threat to those British Jews to Defcon 1, as Britain’s political class, never all that fond of Jews to begin with, have come to understand that to remain in office, the currying of an unassimilated Islamic voting bloc is de rigueur.
In the US, Jews outnumber Muslims by approximately two to one, but, unlike the latter, the former is no longer a dependable and dependent voting bloc. So the powers that be are on track to follow Parliament’s lead in catering to a culture which has an explicitly stated intent of shunning assimilation and importing their theocracy to the west.
And like those old KGB covert ops, the modern medievalists have come to understand that the vote carries far more weight, certainly in a society that has birthed a number of generations that despise their own country, than any armed insurrection. The left has, as it always has had, useful idiots who will provide the rope their supposed allies will hang them with.
In my modern, and I suspect permanent, disaffection from a life lived on the left, I’m reminded of my over a half century gone dismay as I watched a flag being burned, and recognized the gleeful sacrifice of the very idea of patriotism in the name of outrage and attention. I fear we are well over the cliff, tumbling into the abyss, with no hope or chance of rescue.
Of course, the murders and terrorism of Jews will continue unabated, victims barely acknowledged, murderers tacitly forgiven, calamitous events immediately forgotten in the churning of the endless news cycle, because, you know, Islamophobia.
Do the numbers.
As ever I remain,
Howard Victor Chaykin…a Prince.
