Reminder to our British friends: Even though the government took your guns away, you can still use rope to hang these traitorous b--tards.

Quoting Koran Could Be Illegal Under Proposed UK Bill, Lawmaker Says By Nicola Brent CNSNews.com Correspondent June 22, 2005 [B] (CNSNews.com) - A British lawmaker says reading excerpts from the Koran that advocate harsh treatment for Christians, Jews and unbelievers would violate a religious hatred bill currently before parliament.[/B]

"If this bill makes any sense at all, it must mean banning the reading, in public or private, of a great many passages of the Koran itself," Conservative MP Boris Johnson said.

And that, he added, was "absurd and paradoxical, given that the measure is intended to be a protection against Islamophobia."

[B]The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill edged closer to becoming law Tuesday, after a House of Commons debate and second reading vote[/B].

Lawmakers from both parties who oppose the bill backed a compromise amendment, which would have allowed prosecution only in cases where attacks on religious beliefs were seen to be masking a deeper motivation of inciting racial hatred. However, that amendment was tabled.

During the debate, Johnson read out various excerpts from the Koran regarding the treatment of non-Muslims, including sura 22:19, which read in translation: "As for the unbelievers, for them garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skins shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods."

Johnson said while the Koran was not "unique in its hostility to other creeds," he challenged a government minister to explain "why and how you think the repetition of those words in a public or a private place does not amount to an incitement to religious hatred of exactly the kind this bill is supposed to ban."

[B]The proposed legislation, which has been introduced in a bid to protect Muslims, would apply to "words, behavior, written material, recordings or programs that are threatening, abusive or insulting [and] likely to stir up racial or religious hatred."

Convictions under the law could lead to a seven-year jail sentence[/B].

Home Secretary Charles Clarke told lawmakers the bill was about "hatred and incitement to hatred," assuring them it would not be "stopping anybody telling jokes about religion, stopping anybody ridiculing religions or engaging in robust debate about religion."

It would protect "people, not faiths," he added and assured opponents that proposed amendments would be considered "constructively" in committee. Critics say the bill in its present form is dangerous and vague, would threaten freedom of speech, and breed more hostility in British society.

[B]This is the third time in as many years that Prime Minister Tony Blair's government is trying to push through the controversial measure[/B].

A first attempt was withdrawn in 2002 because of fierce opposition in the upper House of Lords; a second failed earlier this year when the government removed the religious hatred clause from a broader piece of legislation it wanted to see passed into law before parliament dissolved for the general election in April.

This week, the government argued that while it did not believe there would be many prosecutions under any new laws, parliament needed to make it clear that "hatred, racism and extremism" would not be tolerated.

But Johnson said Islamophobia in Britain was "in danger of being exaggerated" and accused the government of serving its own political ends.

"If a religion is worth believing it ought to be strong enough, frankly, to withstand the most scurrilous and monstrous attacks and, if a religion is worth believing in, those assaults should diminish the critics and not the religion itself," he said.

Artists and writers have responded with skepticism to repeated government assurances that they would not face prosecution because only complaints approved by the attorney-general would go to court.

[B]"Mr. Bean" actor Rowan Atkinson has voiced reservations that a politician "subject to the political agendas of the day" should hold such discretionary powers.

The government may see it as desirable at some point "to prosecute a few writers or journalists or playwrights in their desire to ingratiate themselves with a particular religious community," he said this week.[/B]

Christian groups and civil liberties campaigners have also expressed concerns about the bill.

The bill also aims to protect people defined by their lack of faith, such as atheists and humanists, as well as satanists, pagans and members of religious sects.

"you can still use rope to hang these traitorous b--tards."

Whilst the English ruling class are degenerate liberal criminals, cowards and homosexuals.

London was once a cosmopolitan city now a days it's Asiatic zoo. :osama: :ph34r: The same is true of any major city in Western Europe.

Know wants to live in a society that tolerates traitor's and promotes subversion. You only have to look at the ethic make up of English schools to know that the English are finished as a people.

The British media have effectively been censored and are no longer critical of the US's support for Israels expansion policy or the war in Iraq. Britain is a ZOG controlled multiracial cesspit's and as such possess a threat to Europe's territorial security.

Our movements error, is in failing to address the treason of secular whites and hold them adequately to account. For there crimes against humanity. The rise of secularism in the West is directly to blame for the abandonment of it's Christian values and the dilution of it's European cultural and ethnic identity.

One can be secular and an ultra-left-wing multiculturalist; one can be secular and an ultra-right-wing Nazi; or one can be secular and anything in between. And multiculturalism and ethnic "tolerance" -- "we are all God's children, regardless of race" -- is a key teaching of many Western Churches today.

Let's also not forget that pro-Jewish and pro-Israel Christians are more responsible for Jewish power in America today than even Judaism itself. The Christian Zionist lobby is the backbone of Jewish political power.

If everyone thought of the Bible as Jewish mythology, then Jews would no longer be seen as the "Chosen People" but as the parasites they are. So again, the problem is hardly secularism. The problem is widespread belief in feces like this:

I am not religious, let alone a Muslim, but I admit that the Muslims of today are showing far more courage than any other group in fighting Jewish power. In fact, Muslims are the only significant group doing so.

Assorted white nationalists and paleocons are making some faint noise, but they'll never take up arms against the Jews and their allies like the Muslims have. Most whites are too obsequious before state "authority" to do so much as set off an illegal firecracker, let alone take serious action against their enemies.

On the other hand, this doesn't mean whites and Arabs should live together. It's not good for different cultures to mix. It only leads to strife. Muslim Arabs should live in their own lands, and Whites should live in theirs. People are generally resentful when masses of immigrants from foreign cultures arrive in their lands and start demanding that the natives there accomodate them.

And these factors, rather than secularism, are in large part why Jews have been able to attain such power over the heavily-Christian US.

Orthodox Islam teaches the same basic values as orthodox Christianity. Has Protestant Christianity weathered the storm of Modernism and protected us from the ravages of the culture of death? Nietzsche was right to target modern Christianity for its slavishness and decadence. Christianity has collapsed, and its representatives have allowed the reduction of our culture to nothingness by idealizing the lowest members of our own Aryan-Christian community and submitting to Jewish cultural assault. Islam has retained the strength and the backbone to ruthlessly and uncompromisingly stamp out necrotic modern things like the Jewish culture industry and sexual degeneracy. Nobility and courage have died out completely in the West, infected with soft living and the psychology of the spoiled child, while in the Levant a technically outranked people is waging heroic war to the death against their megalomaniacal and ignoble overlords. Christianity, in fact, has collapsed into total effeminacy and impotency in the present day world, while Islam, rightly contemptuous of the merely external 'favors' of the meretricious modern age, remains a largely valid vehicle of noble superpersonal human energies.

Traditionalist Islamic forces are fighting the same battle as traditionalist Western conservatives. OUR ENEMIES ARE THE SAME: the Caesarism of the international Jewish financial network and their foisting of dysfunctional loan-capitalism on the peoples of the planet; the deracinating forces of Judeo- Babelist globalism; unrestrained technological hedonism; secular utopianism; and metaphysical nihilism.

I am constantly amazed at the provincialism of 'defenders of the West', so devoid of far-seeing intelligence and realism as to not collaborate with other nationalistic and traditionalist elements in the world desiring the same goals and values. An effort toward strategic outreach by "Almahdi" is returned with incomprehension and puerile malicious insults!

When the barbarian Turcoman hordes were coming down on the Middle East during the Sixth Crusade, the Muslims and Knights Templars, wisely forgetful of their ancient hatred and religious conflicts, united to oppose a common enemy. Derive the lesson!

The Muslims currently in the West are there because of the Jewish power over the Western countries, brainwashing and distracting the White masses to give up all nationalistic and racial feelings and embrace a decadent, individualistic, materialistic, sexually degenerate, credit card lifestyle.

This is NOT the fault of the Muslim. They don't belong in the West, but we should support their struggles for their self-determination within their own nations.

As I see it, Esoterist is correct. The Muslims are actively and heroically fighting the Jewish One World Order while the White man stews in his own caldron, ocassionally stirred by our Jewish overlords just for fun.

We should be so brave.

The slims want it all. They want Palestine, USBritZog out of their homelands, AND unlimited emigration into Europe. On any of these points there is going to be a war with them, but if they have to give up one, it will be Palestine to the Jews, so if the slims make a pact with anyone, it isn't going to be us.

Well, let's give credit where credit is due. Muslim leaders regularly criticize the Jews and Israel. Do major Christian leaders do the same?

I'm still waiting for a major Christian leader to criticize the Jews in a public speech or an interview.

Indeed, some even more than others.

Orthodox Islam teaches the same basic values as orthodox Christianity.

Bull. The belief in the Triune God of Christianity has had a marked and fundamental impact on Christian culture, society and conception of man and God. Islam and Judaism are on the opposite side of the coin and much more alike to each other than they are to Christianity.

Has Protestant Christianity weathered the storm of Modernism and protected us from the ravages of the culture of death?

No, but it's my history and my people. I just don't care about foreigners and their foreign cult religions like islam. Sue me.

Islam has retained the strength and the backbone to ruthlessly and uncompromisingly stamp out necrotic modern things like the Jewish culture industry and sexual degeneracy.

Bull. Petr's put some numbers up somewhere here concerning the real degenerecy in muslim societies somewhere. I'll have to see if I can find them when I have the time. But you're dreaming if you think these people are noble, moral and honorable. If you do believe that, then you should move to Riyadh asap. I'll help you pack if you want.

Christianity, in fact, has collapsed into total effeminacy and impotency in the present day world, while Islam, rightly contemptuous of the merely external 'favors' of the meretricious modern age, remains a largely valid vehicle of noble superpersonal human energies.

Yes, I stand in awe at their cultural achievement. :clown:

Our enemy may be the same in some regards, but that doesn't make us friends. They're still far and away our number one enemy throughout our European ancestral lands.

That's rather short-sighted don't you think? Kind of ignoring two thousand years of Western history? The very fact you can ask those question and make those comments is itself the fruit of Western Christendom. You couldn't do the same in islamic culture so show some respect. Christian men much better than you gave their lives to keep Europe free of the pestilence that is islam.

If you really that concerned about it you would join Esoterist in moving to Riyadh asap. At bottom it's just another tool for you to bash Christianity, Franco.

Tex, you seem to have forgotten your roots. We're both former Southern Baptists so you know I'm not taking potshots from behind cover here. Evangelical Protestants certainly do enable the success of the tikkunists, and to a huge degree. This trend isn't recent- that is, it dates back to the mid to late 1800's- and it isn't contained just to the Bible Belt, although it surely is much more prevalent there than in, say, Long Island. Coughcough.

Who's reading all those copies of "Left Behind"? Who is making the excuses for the Bush administration based almost solely on his blitherings about Jesus-the-philosopher? The influences you mention are surely important, but currently the most heavily used crutch employed by the neoconservatives is their power among evangelicals holding apocalyptic beliefs

Yes. Islam, with its neurotic separation of sexes and hyper-machismo, has fostered a veritable climate of [B]prison homosexuality[/B]. Serb Srdja Trifkovic comments:

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=DarkGreen][I]"[B]A Moslem who is the active partner in sexual relations with other men is not considered a “homosexual” (the word has no pre-modern Arabic equivalent); quite the contrary, his sexual domination of another man may even confer a status of hyper-masculinity. He may use other men as substitutes for women, and at the same time have great contempt for them.[/B] [B]This depraved view of sex, common in mainstream Moslem societies, is commonly found in the West only in prisons.[/B]

...

A 17th century French visitor to the Middle East went so far as to claim that Moslems were bisexual by nature, and many male authors gave descriptions of “licentiousness” (lesbianism) among women in harems and bath houses. [B]Homosexuality became known to the English as the “Persian” or “Turkish” vice[/B].

This peculiar aspect of the Middle East has never entirely disappeared. The sight of men, even soldiers in uniform, strolling along a street hand in hand, strikes first-time visitors as extraordinary even today. The Moslem world enjoyed a reputation as a haven for sex with boys and men well into the twentieth century. [B]The proclivities of many Western authors like Gustave Flaubert, Oscar Wilde, or Andre Gide, reflected the pederast and homosexual attractions of the Islamic world[/B];"[/I][/COLOR][/FONT]

[url]http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=5704[/url]

The financial corruption is also rampant in all Muslim countries, and always has been. The concept of "civic spirit" is alien to them, enriching one's own tribe, sect or family first being the main idea.

In accordance with the Islamic hypocrisy, alcohol might be no-no but drugs like opium and hashish have always been associated with the Middle East in the same way as pederasty has - ever wonder what reprobates like William S. Burroughs were doing in Morocco?

As for portraying Bush as a bumbling, wacked out born again, it would seem that in this case they're on the money. Perhaps the nature of Bush's God complex is so apparent that they can use it as a hook to hang the cloak of disguise over the rest of his treasonous activities, as well as to make them palatable to the Judeo- worshipping Christians that are in the Bush base. Remember the false prophets, Tex.

This might indeed be true. But to my thinking it is due to the lack of protest put up by the spineless leadership of the mainstreams. So far, every Promise Keeper and deacon in the land has seemed to be satisfied by the infrequent bones that have been thrown. The Bush reaction to the tepid con criticism of Alberto Gonzales shows either how little he cares about social conservative "Christian" opinion, or how little he thinks they'll stray regardless, or both. I tend to think that BushRove know that evangelicals will stay with them regardless, since as noted in Freeperland there is "no where else to turn".

Perhaps a Gonzales selection will make a Hillary campaign unnecessary. Could be we'll need some sturdy lamp posts, if Shlafly et al can continue to turn up the heat. But somehow I doubt it- the Promise Keepers are too strong in their effeminate feel-good JudeoChristian fortress of tolerance...

After all, as it has been said elsewhere, the jews only have a special history because of their infiltration, influence and antagonism of two thousand years within Western Christendom. No more, no less.

I think the Jewish use of influence among the large numbers of evangelicals who hold or are sympathetic with the beliefs of apocalypic eschatology is only the latest manifestation of that long march through Western Christendom.

OK, now I'm confused. I'm a little slow so you're gonna have to spell this out for me.

What 'power' are we talking about? Domestic agendas or foreign policy? The war in Iraq?

And how is what they do significantly different than that of an infantry soldier subject to the survival odds of, say, the battle of Liepzig (Napoleonic wars) or Gettysburg - other than the relatively obvious fact that it requires far more self discipline for a suicide bomber to carry out his mission alone, than it does for an infantryman to march forward when commanded to do so by a sidearm wielding officer behind him.

So you morally equate the indiscriminate killing of civilian men, women and children with soldiers marching into war against great odds?

Courage is going forth into battle knowing the enemy will fight back, not blowing oneself up in the middle of innocents. The latter is not reflective of courage. It's simply pre-meditated murder.

What the moslems cannot see is that the U.S. and Britain are not democracies in any real sense, but well oiled dictatorships that routinely thwart the popular will when that will cannot be molded by the media. In truth, ordinary civilians have no ability to stop anything and, in fact, have become so totally disenfranchised that they are having their countries stolen from them.

But Y, the point is not about being pre-programmed and empathizing with an enemy. Did we empathize with the American Injuns when a day or two after a skirmish with our Calvary they sneak attacked a nearby settler's home, burning, killing, raping and kidnapping the unfortunate American settlers who were only seeking a peaceful existence and properous farm? Of course not.

The point is there is objective right and wrong--morally justified self-defense/just war and barbaric murder. If we are pre-programmed at all, then it is with this basic, universal sense of right and wrong with regards to killing given to humanity by God and shared to a greater or lesser degree by almost all cultures. The natural Law or Lewis' Tao, if you will. That said, when someone is guilty of murder then we judge them so and execute them.

By your own logic, Tex, does that justify putting on a false face of friendship and saying, "Here. Wrap your children in these warm blankets" when they've been carefully riddled with smallpox?

That's the problem I have with "Christian Nationalism". It conveniently excuses our sins (because ours is the Only True Religion), then rifles desperately through Scripture for any kind of bottle-courage justification to smite the infidel to the last man for the 'crime' of returning fire . Plenty of Christians out there who can dig up a quote or two taking us off the hook morally for the practice of chattel-slavery, but of course these are the same Christians who bleat about 'chains' at the prospect of a despotic federal government robbing our 'freedoms'.

The fact is that we've undergone a 15-year news blackout on the unpleasant details of our various bully-boy campaigns in the Middle East. We'll hear Maddy Albright laugh off the half-million Iraqi children and elderly dead as a direct result of US policy as 'worth it' - mind you, she never DENIED it, but instread justified it - so there's no hiding, Freeperlike, behind fantasies of that body count being a Dan Rather DemonRat lie that never happened. Yet, because it's only referred to after the fact, in passing, between talking heads on political talk shows, it's as if didn't really happen.....because it has to be on videotape, or on page 1 of the paper, to be really serious - to be worthy of any serious attention. So the only decent thing for the Arab to do, I guess, is to just suck it up as the cost of doing business, and let bygones be bygones....because it couldn't have been all that bad - it wasn't on tv!

We have no idea but vague ballpark numbers on exactly how many Iraqis have been mass-murdered during these two exercises in regime-change and 'liberation' because the White House will make life very very unpleasant for the media outlet that tries to arrive at a real number....and the Jew-controlled Big Media venues will be right there to enforce that pariah status. Instead we only hear about our guys killed by 'insurgents', and of course Israeli mothers and their children blown up on a bus, or in a shopping center. For all the logical outrage we feel hearing Perle or Rumsfeld muttering 'collateral damage' we never go beyond that sort of intellectualized distaste...because? You tell me. Surely the effects of a 'smart bomb' or two, or a night of 'shock and awe' bombardment broadcast like a Disney special to the folks at home, are at least comparable to an explosive planted on a subway? Surely God Himself doesn't value 3000 dead at the hands of suicide pilots above 500,000 children dead at the hands of policy wonks with clean, clean hands and shiny, manicured fingernails?

Our outrage - like our consciences - are, more and more, the result of what we are told plus a sizable dollop of what we secretly don't wanna know. It's valid to say "I'll be sure to remind you of that if, God forbid, it's your wife and children killed in the next subway bomb", but it's just as valid to say "I'll be sure to remind you of that when a foreign army of occupation kicks in your doors searching for rebel activity, and holds a rifle to your kid's head to terrify you and your wife into instant cooperation because they don't have a friggin' clue what language it is you're speaking....and then bulldozes your house because, * it, better not to take a chance; these people are all born liars anyway" ....the problem is *nobody ever says it.

I'd have to find the post, but I think it was established here on this board that we had no knowledge of germs or the ability of blankets to carry smallpox back in those days.

That sounds great IR, but unfortunately it is not what I've argued here on this thread. Thinking terrorists are cowardly scum that should be eliminated does not equate to support of my own government's actions in Iraq or anywhere else in the Middle East. Likewise, just because muslims are opposed to Israel and jews doesn't mean I need or want to buddy-up with them, much less cheer on and laud suicide bombers who murder innocents as heroic. I think I've been pretty consistent arguing for the complete withdrawal of any and all American involvement in that armpit of the world outside of peaceful and mutually beneficial trade with those nations that so desire. I believe that's the objectively right and moral position.

But you are doing that! Because you're equating a near-medieval sinkhole with a first-world technological power. Ie, I'm sorry our government has been killing your people for 15 years - but you people aren't even human, with your cowardly terrorist attacks on the 'innocent'! "Arguing for the complete withdrawal of any and all American involvement in that armpit of the world" is very nice, but:

A) it's meaningless to the countries being invaded since your good intentions have no effect whatsoever on official policy, as opposed to Bill Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz, whose influence has only grown stronger, not weaker;

B) and recent history shows that wars of empire are only abandoned when the price of empire becomes too high for the conqueror to bear

Since America no longer really gives a damn about its soldiers any longer (if you're one of the chattering classes, it's just somebody else's kid over there anyway), the price taken out in dead troops will [u]always[/u] be bearable. (Just send more troops. They're not gonna push US around, by God!) So therefore the price must now be extracted from the comfortable civilians far away, who blather about 'democracy' and 'fighting tyrants' and 'prevailing at any price' from their La-Z-Boys, who have the luxury of changing the channel when the news from Iraq comes on to irritate them with all that depressing talk about 'insurgents' and 'suicide bombers' and 'body counts'.

Terrorism is just the new coin of the realm: the method by which the people we once comfortably kicked the shit out of - with no risk to ourselves - now use our cravenness, our decadence and our much-vaunted technology against us to extract some payback.

But that's not how the game is supposed to be played! Tell that to the people of London and Dresden and Nagasaki and Sarajevo. That's how the game is now played, and will be for quite some time to come.

Again, who is arguing otherwise? Just like the Red Man here in America, killing innocent, civilized men, women and children is standard operating procedure for savage muslim filth. Surely this is common knowledge. That's why since the first Gulf War, which I strongly opposed, I have argued for the foreign policy of George Washington and principled isolationism and armed neutrality. Interventionism inevitably leads to blowback at a dear cost to our own people, the greater part of whom never had a say in whether we intervened in the first place.

However, I will not laud suicide bombers and commend their murder of innocents as courageous and on an equal moral threshold of say, Travis, Bowie and Crockett at the Alamo. That's just absurd and offensive to any civilized person's sensibilities.

The blacks are our permanent curse for the disastrous hubris of, first, slavery for profit, and second, emancipation for political gain. But that isn't even analogous with this situation which involves a native population resisting an occupying power. And it isn't even as simple as that, because the invasion has collapsed whatever capability Iraq had of keeping neighboring extremists outside its borders. Another American innovation we're bringing to the Middle East.

and seeing a value judgment; it isn't intended as one. It's a statement of fact. Just as the Muslims in America are far more productive and law-abiding a group than our own native-born blacks is a statement of fact.

And there's a difference between a jihad Islamic-causin'-panic and a Carr Brother. The Carr Brothers begged for leniency in court; the jihadi woulda blown himself up with his victims.

Do they belong here? Listen, if we were talking about 1950 immigration levels, a scattered few members of any/everybody certanly wouldn't do any harm. And if we hadn't opened the door in '65, prompted and noodged into it by the Jewish left, they wouldn't be here in the numbers they are nor would they be legally agitating us to enter en masse. But the Muslims are really Europe's problem...we have a far more pressing problem with the mestizos. Who nobody invited in.

I will not laud suicide bombers and commend their murder of innocents as courageous and on an equal moral threshold of say, Travis, Bowie and Crockett at the Alamo.

[QUOTE=Texas Dissident]Thinking terrorists are cowardly scum that should be eliminated does not equate to support of my own government's actions in Iraq or anywhere else in the Middle East.[/QUOTE]It certainly does!!!

When moslems have no means of resisting our bombings and slaughters on their lands other than suicide attacks, eliminating terrorists does indeed equate to support for our governments actions. Eliminating the terrorists eliminates all opposition to that policy.

In fact, a conjoining of rabid hatred of "cowardly terrorists" with self righteous displays of moral indignation at our government's mideast slaughters is exactly what our government needs to continue those slaughters.

We have a moral duty to defend ourselves against attack by suicide bombers, but we also have a duty to do so in a way that does not lend support to our government's policy in the mid-east. The correct moral posture, it seems to me, is to declare that "we will defend ourselves against suicide attacks but we do not feel terrorized by them and will not allow our emotions to be swayed in such a way that lends comfort and support for our government's mid-east slaughters".

Even more offensive than our government's slaughters of moslems in the mid-east, is their long run objective for being there, which is to cripple the population with MTV so that the girls all end up as promiscuous whores and the males end up playing video games and masturbating all day, while the IP and their dark allies get to sift through the rubble and sample what delights and amuses them.

[QUOTE]You don't have anything good to say. You say they are not prominent and don't count.[/QUOTE]

When did I ever say that?

In fact, I resent being called 'anti-Christian' when my comments have never referred to Father Coughlin, Gerald L. K. Smith and similar people whom I more-or-less respect.

Some people are reading things into my ideology which don't exist. I admit that I am not religious, but that doesn't mean that I dislike, or hate, Christians.

[In fact, I often think that Christians hate "pagans" more than pagans hate Christians. Remember the "purge of the pagans" here at Original Dissent?].

[quote=Il Ragno]Terrorism is just the new coin of the realm: the method by which the people we once comfortably kicked the shit out of - with no risk to ourselves - now use our cravenness, our decadence and our much-vaunted technology against us to extract some payback.

I certainly do not agree with the Islamicists' goals, but their methods of killing civilians are no more dishonorable than our methods of killing civilians. That said, I will always fight for the survival of my kin and race, no matter who is right and who is wrong.

[QUOTE=Bardamu]At least now you are being accurate with your language. And no it is not a movement, it is just a tendency, kinda like Christian nationalism. But there is nothing inherently antagonistic between Christianity and Asatru, except for Christian teachings. It is all so inconsequential as to hardly matter. Yes it is all so inonantagonistic and inconsequential that a lot of WN's can't avoid whining about Christianity constantly.

Granted, you don't as far as I can understand belong in that category. But the fact of the matter is a good portion of the WN world obstentatiously sneers its superiority constantly at Christianity.

It does reveal a pathology of self-hatred of ones own race and culture really, which while arguably is itself incited by a lot of jewish origin attitudes, is really worse than judaism's hostlity toward Christianity, in the same way that Stalins crimes were worse than Hitler's. Its directed at ones own people, not outsiders.

I obviously disagree, but when a some Christians choose to favor Israel, its not without reason. Given the choice between erudite, sophisticated jews with great power and influence, and missing link hyena's who can't help but whine all the time that you owe them a deep debt, who would you choose?

Most Christians view WN, and not without some reason, as a demonic, fanatically anti-Christian system of barbarism which they have no choice but to oppose.

[QUOTE]After all, as it has been said elsewhere, the jews only have a special history because of their infiltration, influence and antagonism of two thousand years within Western Christendom. No more, no less.

I think the Jewish use of influence among the large numbers of evangelicals who hold or are sympathetic with the beliefs of apocalypic eschatology is only the latest manifestation of that long march through Western Christendom.[/QUOTE]

This has been going on since the 17th century, if not longer.

See Graetz, and Manasseh ben Israel's exploitation of Cromwell through messianism:

[url]http://www.saltshakers.com/lm/GraetzD.rtf[/url]

[QUOTE]Among the Puritans, therefore, were many earnest admirers of “God's people," and Cromwell was one of them. It seemed a marvel that the people, or a remnant of the people, whom God had distinguished by great favor and stern discipline, should still exist. [B]A desire was excited in the hearts of the Puritans to see this living wonder, the Jewish people, with their own eyes, to bring Jews to England[/B], and, by making them part of the theocratic community about to be established, stamp it with the seal of completion. The sentiments of the Puritans towards the Jews were expressed in Oliver Cromwell's observation, " Great is my sympathy with this poor people, whom God chose, and to whom He gave His law; it rejects Jesus, because it does not recognize him as the Messiah." [B]Cromwell dreamt of a reconciliation of the Old and the New Testament,of an intimate connection between the Jewish people of God and the English Puritan theocracy. But other Puritans were so absorbed in the Old Testament that the New Testament was of no importance. Especially the visionaries in Cromwell's army and among the members of Parliament, who were hoping for the Fifth Monarchy, or the reign of the saints, assigned to the Jewish people a glorious position in the expected millennium. A Puritan preacher, Nathaniel Holmes (Holmesius), wished, according to the letter of many prophetic verses, to become the servant of Israel, and serve him on bended knees.[/B] The more the tension in England increased through the imprisonment of the king, the dissensions between the Presbyterian Long Parliament and the Puritan army, the civil war, the execution of King Charles, and the establishment of a republic in England, the more public life and religious thought assumed Jewish coloring. [B]The only thing wanting to make one think himself in Judea was for the orators in Parliament to speak Hebrew. [/B] One author proposed the seventh day as the day of rest, and in a work showed the holiness of this day, and the duty of the English people to honor it. This was in the beginning of 1649. Parliament, it is true; condemned this work to be burnt as heretical, scandalous, and profane, and sentenced the printer and author to punishment. But the Israelite spirit aniong the Puritans, especially among the Levelers, or ultra-republicans, was not suppressed by these means. Many wished the government to declare the Torah to be the code for England.[/QUOTE]

A terrorist or a hero depend at what end of the gun you are.

The IDF have standing order to kill Palestinian children, are those soldiers heros of terrorists?

American troops are killing Iraqis civilians holding no weapons at a range of 1,000 yards and more with their M-81A1 (.50 caliber) for sport, are they (the American soldiers) heros or terrorists?

This time around we have killed over 150,000 Iraqis civilians and you don't even read about it in the news, what would happen if those were American civilians?.....and you don't expect them to fight Americans?

By our actions we are the ones creating "terrorists" and each day that we are in Iraq we created 200 more "terrorists".

LIke I said before, I admire more the one that give his life for his belief than the one that presses a button in order to send a missile to kill someone.

I only hope that when the US is invaded we act that way and with the same fortitude.

And by the way, just for the record, Nazism DID work. The only reason it failed was because FDR, Chamberlain, Churchill and their Jew-Jewy cabals sent soldiers overseas to nip Hitler in the bud for world Jewry. The average citizen in Nazi Germany circa 1938 was well-off, healthy and proud.

As usual after Okie throws in his two cents, one's a Canadian penny and the other's a washer.

Yes it is all so inonantagonistic and inconsequential that a lot of WN's can't avoid whining about Christianity constantly.

A lot of Christians can't avoid whining about it either. (Papists vs Protestants, anyone?) And I love the general OD reaction when names like "John Hagee" come up - a harumphed snort of disdain, followed by assurances that [I]premillenial dispensationalists [/I] represent a tiny, insignificant and - uhh- justplain[U]wrong[/U] branch of the faith. I don't doubt that last one, but of course given the events of the past few years one must conclude they're neither 'tiny' nor 'insignificant' in any way (nor particularly benign).

And of course there are plenty of OD-style 'Christian Nationalists' who condemn jihadists and similar lunatics while secretly wishing for a Holy War of their own to fight. Remember Walter and his 'kill-the-infidel-babies' call to arms? Beating infants' heads against rocks? Yeah...those horrible, inhuman Nazis and pagans and Muslims; why they just ain't [I]civilized[/I].

No, it's not just the 'pagans' who whine about Christendom.

I obviously disagree, but when a some Christians choose to favor Israel, its not without reason. Given the choice between erudite, sophisticated jews with great power and influence, and missing link hyena's who can't help but whine all the time that you owe them a deep debt, [I]who would you choose?[/I]

Why, the guys who are on [B]tv[/B], of course!

Okie continues to seize upon the booga-booga man of "WN", a movement that really [I]isn't [/I] - it's more a confederation of dissimilar whites who share an overlapping agenda of wanting to either preserve, defend or give CPR to the idea of a white homeland and a white future for generations yet unborn. That's because, being from Oklahoma, it's [I]very very [/I] important that he have some[U]one[/U] or some[U]thing[/U] in this world he can feel superior to. So he characterizes a broad, as-yet-shapeless-but-still-evolving white gestalt with the magic knee-slapping words "Alex Linder", pops open another Co-Cola and settles back contentedly, having saved the White Race from disaster with his ruthless social commentary yet again.

There are, under the elastic rubric of "WN", Christian and non-Christian, sophisticated and unsophisticated, rational and irrational, cultured and boorish...all types, in short. But don't bother telling Okie cuz he ain't listening. Of course he understands the Christians who swear allegiance to Israel: Okie's really only comfortable with the status quo, despite his occasionally grunting an endorsement of Kevin MacDonald. Were he to throw a party, it would strictly be for the pleasure of drawing up a list of people he [I]won't [/I] be inviting.

Most Christians view WN, and not without some reason, as a demonic, fanatically anti-Christian system of barbarism which they have no choice but to oppose.

We're waist-deep in "a demonic, fanatically anti-Christian system of barbarism" [I]right now[/I], when a WN couldn't be elected dogcatcher in Granby, Missouri. When American tanks roll into a backwards and defenseless village blasting heavy metal to terrify the populace....or when our policymakers decide satellite-feeding in hardcore porn to pacified areas to weaken their moral resolve against resistance is a [I]jim-dandy [/I] idea.....seriously, that's about as demonic as it gets, doncha think?

Tex? is all a matter of record if you would bother to read once in a while, by that I mean world news and not the news put out by the Jewish controlled American news.

If they are true or not is a matter of personal opinion however I usually have to see the same news on at least three foreing sources in order to make it true in my mind.

Have you read about the terrorists in London? even they cannot get their story straight, now they say that all four of them die in the explosions and they also say that two of them were killed by the police.....tell me this, if the bombs had timers then why did they stay around in order to blow themselves up? make no sense.

All the had to do was to push a 20 seconds delay fuse just about when the doors were closing and gotten the hell out of there.....they could also use sugar with the bombs, sugar when mixed in the same package as the explosives will become hard as soon as the package explodes and the sugar would work as pellets or broken glass, depending on size.

It is a coincidence that out of about 950 public buses the one with the "terrorist" bomb was the only one that was not working that day and that the very same they the government was conductina a practice terrorist attack and that also a couple of the underground stations were closed on that day.

As you know the explosives that were used were the same type as used in the state of Israel by the IDF and lets not forget the "terrorist" alert that was called in to the Israely embassy, something smells here and is not me.

Tex? I'll try to find the one about the IDF order to kill Pals kids because that one bugs the hell out me.

Sorry for the delay in responding...

[QUOTE=Texas Dissident][quote=Angler]Okay, I exaggerated. But the main point is that Jews are greatly empowered by a large number of Christians who are sympathetic to them for religious reasons. Even many (most?) non-Zionist Christians feel a kinship with the Jews simply because they think of the Jews as their "spiritual forefathers." And these factors, rather than secularism, are in large part why Jews have been able to attain such power over the heavily-Christian US.

Bull. Try Hitler's camps, perception of Israel as the heroic underdog in 1948, and the West's sole middle eastern ally in the Cold War. You give a fairly recent trend of belief amongst folks in the Bible Belt way too much credit, Angler.[/QUOTE]I'm afraid not.

We all know that Christian Zionists exist and that they support the Jews for religious reasons. There is nothing to debate there because the CZs even state those reasons themselves. You can always go to any CZ site on the web if you need verification. Rarely if ever do those people mention the Holocaust, the Cold War, or anything of that sort as reasons for their diehard support of Israel. They only mention the Bible and all that "bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" BS.

Furthermore, it's well known that Christian Zionists are a very powerful force in national politics and have the ear of Bush and many members of Congress. Even the mainstream media has reported on the CZ lobby ("60 Minutes," for example) and stated examples of situations where they clearly influenced US Middle East policy.

When it comes to more moderate Christians, the secular factors you mentioned probably play some role as well -- possibly a greater role. There are other factors as well, such as the media -- particularly Hollywood and its almost exclusively negative and positive portrayal of Arabs and Jews, respectively. But let's not deceive ourselves by denying the strong religious factor behind US support for Israel.

[QUOTE=Yggdrasil]I do not think suicide bombers are cowardly at all.[/QUOTE]You're right -- they're not. Going on a mission from which you know you won't return is the very antithesis of cowardice.

If every single member of my family -- all the people I love most in the world -- were killed by a suicide bomber, I would of course be as furious and enraged as a person can be. I'd certainly call the bomber stuff like "evil," "wretched," "filthy," etc. But I wouldn't call him "cowardly," as that would simply be inaccurate. Calling a person who willingly embraces death for a cause "cowardly" renders the word meaningless. To willingly die for a cause is possibly the bravest thing a person can possibly do.

On the other hand, what the London bombers did wasn't the brightest thing they could have done. Why blow yourself up to kill people at random, at least some of whom probably opposed the Iraq invasion? That's senseless.

Either way, what you're really talking about are the politics and/or cultural milieu of Christians, not Christianity itself. Even then, if the critics of 'Christianity' like Franco (and on a more extreme level, degenerate and deranged social miscreants like Alex Linder) had honesty as their goal instead of attacking the one True Faith, then they would readily see that it is the populations that are the most Christian that are also the most conservative, anti-liberal and resistant to the advancing new world order global socialism than any other throughout the West. Atheist organizations like the Communist Party, ACLU and PAW are arguably the most liberal in the world. Likewise for the pagans, with the New Agers and associated earth-worshipping environmental orgs. End of story.

[QUOTE=Angler]We all know that Christian Zionists exist and that they support the Jews for religious reasons.

Of course I agree, but that's not the question on the table. The question on the table is what contributed to jews becoming prominent here in America. I say it has been sympathy for the nation-state of Israel, their relationship with us throughout the Cold War amongst the regional Arab Soviet client-states, their collective wealth and influence in Hollywood and corporate Media.

Furthermore, it's well known that Christian Zionists are a very powerful force in national politics and have the ear of Bush and many members of Congress.

This is where we disagree. If CZ's, or the greater evangelical Christian 'Right' if you will, were really such a powerful force in nat'l politics, wouldn't you think of their having some tiny something to show for it? Let's see, abortion? Nope. Gay rights? Nope. Ten Commandments still in the Court House? Nope. Tougher divorce laws? Nope. Prayer in public schools? Nope.

In short, the CZ's and religious right have political and judicial losses right down the line on every issue significant to them. You just can't convince me they are anywhere near being labeled a 'powerful force' in national politics. Again, I say they are merely a convenient and easy target for the anti-Bush/GOP/conservative Lefties and nowhere near the great influence that the secularists like to make them out to be.

I admit that Christians resist liberal ideas more than others. The issue is far more complex than that, though. Examples:

  1. Christians often offer only passive resistance to liberalism. In other words, they are in defensive mode rather than in offensive mode. They don't act, they instead react.

  2. Even many hard-line Christians rarely mention race and Jews. In fact, I know some of those types. They can quote the Bible chapter and verse, but race? Ha! They never even mention race. And do they mention Jews? Nope. Someone might call them a "hater."

White people are the key to Western culture, and the Christians better grasp that fact before all the Western countries are flooded with negroes and brown-skinned people.

I agree with your last post. Those who oppose Christianity and seek to undermine it's standing have no true understanding of it's ethos. Christianity was perhaps practised to it's fullest extent in the past in the smaller isolated nations of Europe. A good example of this being Ireland. This nation long oppressed by a immoral, powerful and corrupt England. Remained the most devotedly Catholic nation in Europe with a strong sense of community and ethic identity.

Our culture must adhere to a superior system of ethics if it is to maintain it's moral compass and it's social cohesion. The influence of Christianity on the rapid social and industrial development of Western Europe and by extension it's colonies should not be underestmated. Polytheistic religions such as Paganism, in practice do not offer us such a clear system of mortality. But rather dilute our nations moral character.

"Christian" Zionism has been intermittently but violently destructive since its origins in the 17th century.

I put "Christian" in quotes because they are not Christians but heretics who have followed the teachings of false prophets like Isaac Luria, Manasseh ben Israel, J.N. Darby, and C.I. Scofield.

Well, they're no doubt "powerful" in the sense that they deliver votes for the GOP. The fact that they do it in spite of the failure of the GOP to give them anything more than rhetoric on the issues you listed above simply shows that "powerful" and "intelligent" are not necessarily correlated conditions.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the hard core, true-believer (belief in the GOP, that is) GOP voters are like battered women, always taking back the beer-smelling beta-male in the yellowing sleeveless T-shirt because he swears that uppercut was the last one ever.

John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry was funded by the "Secret Six", who are also alleged to have financed Scofield, though that has not been demonstrated to my satisfaction. The New Yorker reviewing a book on Brown:

[QUOTE]With a classic American Puritan’s addiction to Scripture, he was more a man of the Old Testament than the New, a prophet and avenger, a Joshua rather than a Jesus. He had a particularly bad case of the old New England identification of the Puritans with the Jews, as the armed and chosen people. (Brown was, in his broad-mindedness, philo-Semitic.) But he was also a resolute roundhead, an admirer of Oliver Cromwell, and one of Reynolds’s accomplishments is to help us see how the figure of Cromwell—the common man who read his Bible, and who killed a king—haunted the period and Brown’s actions.[/QUOTE]

From another source:

[QUOTE]It is surely significant and foreboding that the Whiggish North hosted a Cromwell revival ten years before the war. Brown raptly read the key texts: Joel Tyler Headley’s Oliver Cromwell (1848), an iconic biography that washed the blood-stained garments of the Royalists and the Irish with sanctimony; Thomas Carlyle’s study in proto-fascism, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History (1845) and his edition of Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches (1845). Today, the revival tents are hosting a seminar featuring authors Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins, whose Left Behind novels celebrate the rapture of the saints and the extermination of the sinners at the Battle of Armageddon.

Even in Spain, there was some focus on Protestants (see first bolded passage), and there was some connection/overlap between Jews and Protestants (see second bolded passage):

The Jews (some left Iberia without having converted) and crypto-Jews had found refuge in Holland. But what else happened around that time?

The Chelmnicki uprising in Poland! Circa 1648!

Heinrich Graetz (a Jew):

[QUOTE]By reason of their great number, their importance, and their compact union, the Jews in Poland formed a state within a state; The general synod, which assembled twice a year at Lublin and Jaroslaw, formed a legislative and judicial parliament from which there was no appeal.... Hence no Jew ventured to bring an accusation against one of his race before the au- thorities of the country, fearing to expose himself to disgrace and contempt from public opinion, which would have embittered his life, or even entailed death.... The study of the Talmud in Poland, established by Shachna, Solomon Lurya,and Moses Isserles, reached a pitch attained at no previous time, nor in any other country.... A love of twisting, distorting, ingenious quibbling, and a foregone antipathy to what did not lie within their field of vision, constituted the character of the Polish Jews.... Pride in their knowledge of the Talmud and a spirit of dogmatism attached even to the best rabbis, and undermined their moral sense. The Polish Jews of course were extraordinarily pious, but even their piety rested on sophistry and boastfulness. Each wished to surpass the other in knowledge of what the Code prescribed for one case or another. Thus religion sank, not merely, as among Jews of other countries, to a mechanical, unintelligent ceremonial, but to a subtle art of interpretation.... The corruption of the Polish Jews was avenged upon them in a terrible way, and the result was, that the rest of the Jews in Europe were for a time infected with it. With fatal blindness Polish Jews offered the nobility and the Jesuits a helping hand in oppressing the Zaporogian Cossacks in the Ukraine and Little Russia.... They advised the possessors of the Cossack colonies how most completely to humiliate, oppress, torment, and ill-use them; they usurped the office of judges over them, and vexed them in their ecclesiastical affairs. No wonder that the enslaved Cossacks hated the Jews, with whom their relations were closest, almost more than their noble and clerical foes.... The Jews were not without warning what would be their lot, if these embittered enemies once got the upper hand. In an insurrection of the Zaporogians under their Hetman in about 1638, despite its brief duration, they slew 200 Jews, and destroyed several synagogues. Nevertheless, Jews lent a hand, when in consequence of the insurrection the further enslavement of the sufferers was determined upon. In the year 1648, fixed by that lying book, the Zohar, they expected the coming of the Messiah and the time of redemption, when they would be in power, and, therefore, they were more reckless and careless than was their custom at other times. Bloody retribution was not long delayed, and struck the innocent with the guilty, perhaps the former more severely than the latter.... [/QUOTE]

Then follows a discussion of Chelmnicki and various massacres, battles, and wars, ending with:

[QUOTE]The number of Jewish families said to have perished in ten years of this war (600,000) is certainly exaggerated, but the slaughtered Jews of Poland may well be rated at a quarter of a million. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]The Cossack persecution of the Jews, in a sense, remodeled Judaism. It became Polonized, so to speak. The Polish-Rabbinical method of study had long dominated the Talmudical schools of Germany. Now, through the fugitives, most of whom were Talmudical scholars, it became authoritative. Whoever wished to acquire thorough Talmudic and Rabbinical knowledge was obliged to sit at the feet of Polish rabbis. Through their influence, scientific knowledge and the study of the Bible declined still more than previously. [/QUOTE]

The Revolutionary Jew and His Impact on World History

by E. Michael Jones

[url]http://www.culturewars.com/2003/RevolutionaryJew.html[/url]

[QUOTE]1648 Annus Mirabilis

According to the Zohar, the year 1648 was to be the mystical year of resurrection, when the Jews could expect deliverance from their more than millennium long exile. Heinrich Graetz, a German Jew, a devotee of the Enlightenment and author of one of the most frequently cited histories of the Jewish people, calls the Zohar that "lying book" and by extension impugns the entire Kabbalistic tradition. Since the Enlightenment was in many ways a direct result of the disappointment which followed from the failure of the Messianic expectations which reached their fever pitch and denouement in the second half of the 17th century, his skepticism is understandable, as is his scorn for the Kaballah, the mish-mash what he considered Gnostic and Talmudic mumbo-jumbo that had led to the rise and fall of Messianic hope in the first place. Graetz espoused a worldview which was the complete antithesis of the Messianic fever of the mid-17th century. He was so convinced in his opposition to the Kaballah because he had the benefit of historical hindsight and could see where its vaporous illusions were leading the Jewish people. Expectation of redemption fostered by widespread dissemination of Kabbalistic doctrine made the Jews, in Graetz’s words, "more reckless and careless than was their custom at other times."


Between 1340 and 1772, when Poland was partitioned for the first time, the Jewish population of Poland increased 75-fold while, during the same period of time the Christian population only quintupled.... This phenomenal expansion of the Jewish population in Poland was matched by a correspondingly rapid increase in wealth, and that, in turn, corresponded to a dramatic expansion of the territorial limits of Poland. The Golden Age of Polish Jews, according to Pogonowski, lasted from 1500 to 1648.


Once the Jews who were expelled from Spain began to regroup in the newly-Protestant regions of the North, their settlements began to draw Marranos like a magnet, and the disaffected Catholics who had once been living double lives as clerics with concubines in places like Saxony and Thuringia now began to make common cause with the Jews who had led double lives as well by converting to Catholicism simply to preserve their wealth. Revolution, which is to say, a pan-ethnic coordinated attack on the cultural hegemony of the Catholic Church over Europe, emerged as a force in world history when these two groups merged in places like Antwerp in the middle of the 16th century. Revolution was, in other words, a Protestant-Jewish alliance from its inception. The Jews, as Newman shows so well, promoted every "reform" movement in Europe, from the Hussites to the Anabaptists, as a way of weakening the hegemony of the Catholic Church, reasoning—falsely in the case of Luther—that the enemy of their enemy was their friend. In places like Antwerp and Amsterdam, the Jews put their wealth as well as their considerable expertise in finance and publishing at the disposal of the libidinous German monks and their princely protectors as their way of waging cultural warfare against the Catholic Church and Spain, its defender. When Johan Bokelzoon established his sexual liberationist communist dictatorship in Muenster in 1533, the native population was quickly overrun by libidinous nuns recently "liberated" from their convents by the Lutherans. (Martin Luther, in fact, got his wife, Catherine von Bora, from a Lutheran raid which liberated a convent in Saxony. He offered the youngest and prettiest of the ex-nuns to the Bishop of Mainz if that worthy agreed to convert to the Lutheran party.) The nuns under Bokelzoon’s tutelage quickly adopted his sexual liberationist practices and began having visions of the coming of the new Jerusalem which caused them to practice glossolalia while rolling naked on the ground, frothing at the mouth. Liberation from the stress of living a double life as a faux Catholic was intoxicating, and the intensity of the intoxication was some indication of the stress that caused it.

The revolutionary link between Jews and Reformers was theoretical as well as practical. The "Reformers" for their part could justify their criminal behavior only by cloaking it in the imagery of the Old Testament. Regicide was the most heinous of crimes and viewed with revulsion by all of Christian Europe, and yet Cromwell justified his role in the murder of Charles I by appealing to the story of Phineas. "Be not offended at the manner," Cromwell wrote to Lord Wharton in January 1650,

"perhaps no other way was left. What if God accepted the zeal, as He did that of Phineas, whose reason might have called for a jury? What if the Lord have witnessed this approbation and acceptance to this also, not only by signal outward acts, but to the heart also? What if I fear my friend should withdraw his shoulder from the Lord’s work . . . through scandals, though false, mistaken reasonings."


The consummation of this revolutionary alliance against the Catholic Church and Catholic countries like Spain involved, in other words, not only rummaging through the Bible for images that would justify regicide, it also entailed bringing Jews, so recently expelled from the Iberian peninsula, out of their temporary home in the low countries into the land now governed by the Puritan saints. According to Graetz:

"A desire was excited in the hearts of the Puritans to see this living wonder, the Jewish people, with their own eyes, to bring Jews to England, and, by making them part of the theocratic community about to be established, stamp it with the seal of completion. The sentiments of the Puritans towards the Jews were expressed in Oliver Cromwell’s observation, "Great is my sympathy with this poor people, whom God chose and to whom He gave His law; it rejects Jesus because it does not recognize him as the Messiah." Cromwell dreamt of a reconciliation of the Old and New Testament, of an intimate connection between the Jewish people of God and the English Puritan theocracy. But other Puritans were so absorbed in the Old Testament, that the New Testament was of no importance. Especially the visionaries in Cromwell’s army and among the members of Parliament, who were hoping for the Fifth Monarchy, or the reign of the saints, assigned to the Jewish people a glorious position in the expected millennium. A Puritan preacher, Nathaniel Holmes .. . wished . . to become the servant of Israel and serve him on bended knees. The more the tension in Israel increased . . . the more public life and religious thought assumed Jewish coloring. The only thing wanting to make one thing [was the return of the Jews]."

Cromwell’s followers felt that by readmitting the Jews to England they could bring about the second coming of Christ, the millennium, and the fifth monarchy mentioned in the book of Daniel. In short, the middle of the 17th century was suffused with an apocalyptic vision of Christ’s kingdom being actually established in the here and now. Jewish refugees from Spain and English Ranters and Fifth Monarchy men were of one mind on this issue. The Kingdom of God was at hand. Something like this had been held by Christians for over a millennium and a half, probably because its advent had been pronounced by Christ himself. What had changed, though, was the kind of kingdom Christ’s followers were supposed to expect.

St. Augustine gave the definitive Catholic explication of The Book of Revelation in the City of God, where he explained that the millennium was supposed to be understood as a spiritual allegory concerning an essentially spiritual reality. The Millennium had begun with the death of Christ on the Cross, and the New Jerusalem was fully realized in the Catholic Church. Augustine’s explanation became Church doctrine when it was adopted as the definitive explanation of the millennium by the Council of Ephesus in 431. From that time on, belief in the millennium as a worldly kingdom was dismissed generally as a superstitious aberration and particularly as "the error of the Jews."


Since there had been no Jews in England since their expulsion in 1290, at least not officially, English philo-Semitism had a distinctly utopian cast to it. The English Judaizers tended to idealize Jews according to their own idiosyncratic reading of the Old Testament. They did not, as one has come to expect of the English, evaluate them according to empirical observation, at least not at the dawn of the Messianic era in 1648. If they had been less preoccupied with their own revolution at home, the English could have learned something about Christian-Jewish relations by observing the apocalypse that was brewing in Poland at the very moment the English were debating the fate of their king. An objective study of what had happened in Spain might have been helpful as well, but an objective English study of anything Spanish is the historical equivalent of an oxymoron.

By 1540 the Converso issue was over in Spain. Figures from the tribunal of Toledo in the years from 1531 to 1560 suggest that only three percent of the cases which came before the Inquisition there dealt with Judaizers. Spain had saved itself from the fate of Poland first by importing the Inquisition from southern France, and then by exporting its problem to the north of Europe. For some indication of what might have happened in Spain if the situation created by the Jews there had gone unchecked, we need only look at the situation in Poland. Jewish influence over Polish political life not only continued in the century after it had abated in Spain; it increased in intensity as well, fueling Polish imperialism in the East. The same violence that appeared periodically in Spain beginning in the late 14th century was repressed in Poland where laws in effect codified Jewish hegemony over large areas of Polish cultural life. Since disobedience to the predations of the Jewish tax-farmers was a capital crime, there is some indication that 1) animosity against the Jews was widespread and 2) that it was severely repressed. The combination of those two factors made an explosion of violence all but certain, and the explosion came when the Seym, dominated by the Polish magnates and their Jewish administrators, rebuffed Cossack aspirations for political reform. Cultural drift in Poland under the self-serving hand of the oligarchs had led to an explosion of the sort that the Inquisition had prevented in Spain, and as a result of that explosion, the Polish nobles republic went into a state of terminal decline, only to expire altogether 147 years later.

The defeat of their cause in the Seym turned the hopeful expectation of the Cossacks into equally vehement outrage....


As some indication of the hold which the Kaballah exercised over the mind of Polish Jews, the Chmielnicki pogroms, occurring in what was supposed to be the Messianic year of redemption, only strengthened the faith of those Jews who felt that messianic deliverance, ushered in perhaps by catastrophe, was closer than ever. The idea that the Messiah would hear and answer the prayers of his people in time of need became transmuted into a belief that dire need was a sign that the Messiah’s arrival was imminent. The alembic which enabled this religious alchemy was Kabbalah, the very thing which had instilled the messianic expectation in the first place.

Scholem disagrees with those who see the Chmielnicki uprisings as the cause of the Messianic fever which swept European Jewry during the middle of the 17th century. "If the massacres of 1648 were in any sense its principal cause," Scholem argues, "why did the messiah not arise within Polish Jewry?" The source of messianic fervor, according to Scholem, was "none other than Lurianic kabbalism, that is that form of Kabbalah which had developed at Safed, in Galilee, during the sixteenth century and which dominated Jewish religiosity in the seventeenth century." According to the Kaballah, catastrophe and utopianism go hand in hand. [B][Lurianic Kabbalism is also the source of the concept of tikkun olam -- see below -- MW][/B] The presence of a catastrophe like the Chmielnicki massacres and the ensuing predations of the Swedish army meant, therefore, that redemption was at hand.


[B]The political implications of the Lurianic Kaballah seem clear enough. The Messiah must now wait upon man’s efforts. He can only come once the process of tiqqun or purification and healing has been accomplished by man, i.e., by the Jews here on earth, who act as the vanguard of redemption much as the communist party at a later date would function as the vanguard of the proletariat. Without tiqqun, "it is impossible that the messianic king come."[/B] From here it is but a short leap of thought to the conclusion that Israel had become its own Messiah, or as Scholem says, [B]"By transferring to Israel, the historical nation, much of the redemptive task formerly considered as the messiah’s, many of his distinctive personal traits, as drawn in apocalyptic literature, were now obliterated."

Horowitz sees much the same political meaning emanating from the Lurianic revision of the meaning of exile. Once the meaning of exile had been transformed by its incorporation into the Gnostic creed of Luria’s Kaballah, "redemption is no longer a divine release from the punishment of exile, but a humanly inspired transformation of creation itself."


..."in the Gnostic view, the evil that men do emanates not from their own flawed natures, but is the result of a flaw in the cosmos they inhabit, which they can repair." As a result of the Gnostic transformation of Jewish thought that Luria accomplished, "Man" becomes "his own redeemer" (Horowitz, p. 131). Exile of the sort suffered by Jews for over a millennium and most recently in exile from Spain is, according to Luria,

"no longer a punishment, but a mission; no longer a reflection of who we are, but a mark of our destiny to become agents of salvation.[/B]


The Lurianic Kaballah was a reaction to the Inquisition. By the time of the Chmielnicki massacres, the other great catastrophe for Jews at the dawn of the modern era, it had spread to all parts of the Diaspora. "[B]Wherever Lurianism came," Scholem writes, "it produced messianic tension." It produced expectation of redemption. But now, as Scholem points out, "redemption meant a revolution in history." Since Lurianism created the Messianic fervor of the mid-16th century, it is not an exaggeration to say that it created the revolutionary mindset which characterized the modern world as well. The modern world emerged when medieval Judaism, having fostered northern Europe’s rebellion against Rome, cracked open and fell apart itself when Lurianism found its fulfillment in Sabbetai Zevi, the false Messiah.[/B] Jewish Gnostic messianism, with the help of English puritan revolutionaries, was released from the ghetto into the nascent modern world, the world which succeeded the medieval world and was its antithesis.

The Westward movement of Polish Jews in 1648-49:

[QUOTE]The most immediate consequence of the Chmielnicki uprising was a massive exodus from the Jewish paradise in the east. Penniless Jewish refugees began streaming west. It was at this moment that the legend of the wandering Jew was born. A race whose scriptures begins with a description of paradise and whose formative moment was escape from bondage in Egypt could not get the idea of escape into another paradise out of its head, and so having heard stories of how the displaced Sephardim were now prospering, their impoverished Ashkenazic cousins began streaming toward places like Hamburg, but more importantly, toward Amsterdam, which by the mid-17th century had achieved the reputation of being the Dutch Jerusalem. Amsterdam, as a result, became a crucial staging area for the ongoing experimentation in revolution which was the modern world.


[B]On January 30, 1649, eight months after Bogdan Chmielnicki had defeated the Polish army, while the slaughter of Jews was in full swing, the Puritan Demi-Jews presided over the execution of the English king.[/B] His death warrant was signed by 59 "saints".[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=mwdallas]The Revolutionary Jew and His Impact on World History

by E. Michael Jones

Revolution, which is to say, a pan-ethnic coordinated attack on the cultural hegemony of the Catholic Church over Europe, emerged as a force in world history when these two groups merged in places like Antwerp in the middle of the 16th century. Revolution was, in other words, a Protestant-Jewish alliance from its inception. The Jews, as Newman shows so well, promoted every "reform" movement in Europe, from the Hussites to the Anabaptists, as a way of weakening the hegemony of the Catholic Church, reasoning—falsely in the case of Luther—that the enemy of their enemy was their friend. So what else is new.Politics often makes strange bedfellows, especially when struggling jointly, even for very different reasons ultimately,against a fierce and implacable enemy. And naturally the jews did their best to take advantage of this situation by trying to woo Protestants, even if some like Luther saw through them. It was only natural that some Protestants wouldn't be so perspicuous, especially when coming from a country far removed from the bitter ethnic struggles of eastern and southern europe, which had not seen the jews personaly for almost 4 centuries, re:

[QUOTE]Since there had been no Jews in England since their expulsion in 1290, at least not officially, English philo-Semitism had a distinctly utopian cast to it. The English Judaizers tended to idealize Jews according to their own idiosyncratic reading of the Old Testament. They did not, as one has come to expect of the English, evaluate them according to empirical observation, at least not at the dawn of the Messianic era in 1648. If they had been less preoccupied with their own revolution at home, the English could have learned something about Christian-Jewish relations by observing the apocalypse that was brewing in Poland at the very moment the English were debating the fate of their king.[/QUOTE]So the english puritans were naive about the jews. Not surprising. Actually it isn't surprising either today that the churches that embrace philosemitism like the SBC are disproportionately located in southern rural locales, also lacking much hands-on personal exerience with the jewish community.

Anyway thanks for digging this up MW, even if we may always have somewhat different views on Cromwell and Charles I.

Okie, I have just started digging into this stuff. I have a lot more reading to do, but my recent correspondence with a number of English conservatives has prompted me to look into this stuff. They tend to blame things on "liberalism" following from "The Enlightenment". But what caused the Enlightenment? In this, Luria and the Kabbalah (16th Century), Kabbalistic influence in Holland where many of the expelled Iberian Jews were, the predictions of the coming of the Messiah, the fact that the Jews got not a Messiah but a Holocaust (the Chielmnicki massacres), the Western migration of large numbers of Polish Jews practicing a more-virulent brand of Talmudic Judaism, the naivete of the British who had expelled their Jews 300+ years earlier, and the translation of the Bible from Hebrew to the vernacular all played a role.

Reading (Jewish sources):

David S. Katz's books Gershom Scholem's books on Kabbalah Heinrich Graetz's History of the Jews Jonathan Israel's "Radical Enlightenment" Adam Sutcliffe's "Judaism and Enlightenment"


mwdallas

2005-07-14 00:28 | User Profile

Two books that appear to shed light on the origins of Enlightenment thought are Jonathan I. Israel's Radical Enlightenment: Philosophy and the Making of Modernity 1650-1750 (Oxford University Press, 2001), and Adam Sutcliffe's Judaism and Enlightenment (Cambridge University Press, 2003). Both of these authors are of Jewish ancestry, and the latter studied under the former at University College London.

From a review of Sutcliffe's book by Steven Nadler of the U. of Wisconsin (you can find it on Google, but it is cached so I cannot easily provide a link):

Sutcliffe begins his investigation with the Hebraism to be found in scholarly and religious milieux, especially in the Netherlands of the early seventeenth-century. It was not an unadulterated "philosemitism" -- in fact, Sutcliffe explicitly declines to use the terms "philosemitism" and "antisemitism" to frame the terms of his discussion -- but rather a profound interest in the texts, languages, culture and history of the ancient Hebrews, sometimes from academic motives, often as preparation for anti-Jewish polemics. The reader is introduced here to tensions that reappear later in Sutcliffe's account, between, on the one hand, fascination for and use of res Judaica, and, on the other hand, antipathy toward and fear of Jews and Judaism. The same individuals who had a scholarly and sometimes even a religious respect for Jewish sources also believed in the obsolescence of Judaism itself.

For readers coming from philosophy and its history, the real interest of this book lies in Sutcliffe's analysis of the role played by the Jewish material in the rise of Enlightenment rationalism. As we know from Israel's study, the real culprit here is Spinoza, as well as the city of Amsterdam itself and the Portuguese-Jewish community that thrived in its cosmopolitan and relatively tolerant environment. [There was also an infusion of Polish Talmudic Jews. - MW] Sutcliffe argues that Jewish Amsterdam was practically a breeding ground of the radical Enlightenment.

From another review:

At the center of Mr. Sutcliffe's narrative is Baruch Spinoza (1632-77), the Dutch-Jewish rationalist who, because he was not a Christian to begin with, occupied a unique position in the religious-intellectual landscape of the early Enlightenment. Regarded as a heretic by Amsterdam's rabbis for his confounding formulation that God and nature should be understood as one, he was formally expelled from the Jewish community. Uncertain what to make of his theological views, Jewish and Christian religious authorities alike decided that he was either a pantheist or an atheist -- and, in either case, anathema. Widely banned, his writings went underground, where they were translated into several languages and disseminated across Europe. The dangerous doctrine that came to be known as "Spinozism" left a colossal footprint on the Enlightenment, and on modern sensibilities more broadly.

The significance of this way of thinking "as an early forerunner of quintessentially modern modes of religious doubt and rebellion has seldom been acknowledged" in the historiographical literature, Mr. Sutcliffe writes. Standard accounts of the Enlightenment have tended to locate the main action either in Paris (around the philosophes), or in Germany (around Kant and the Kantians), or in the English-Scottish matrix. This understanding received major corrective surgery in Jonathan I. Israel's Radical Enlightenment: Philosophy and the Making of Modernity, 1650-1750 (Oxford University Press, 2001), which focused a zoom lens on 17th-century Sephardic Amsterdam and the transnational influence of Spinoza's circle. (Mr. Israel was Mr. Sutcliffe's professor at University College London and supervised his dissertation, on which Judaism and Enlightenment is based.)


[S]cholars are calling Mr. Sutcliffe's work groundbreaking. It is "not only new but startling" says Sander L. Gilman, director of the humanities laboratory and of Jewish studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the author, most recently, of Jewish Frontiers: Essays on Bodies, Histories, and Identities (Palgrave Macmillan). [B]Mr. Sutcliffe is not merely pointing out another way in which the architects of liberal modernity fell short. Rather, he is arguing that the Enlightenment is unintelligible outside the context of its preoccupation with Judaism. [/B]


[B]In short, the Enlightenment came to define itself, Mr. Sutcliffe argues, as the antithesis of all things Jewish.[/B] Review of Sutcliffe

So, we have a Jewish intellectual milieu (connected by the Jewish neural network to all other such milieux), out of which comes an intellectual movement of atomisation - the ultimate individualist strategy - the absolute worst strategy we could adopt if we were to face subsequent competition with the Jewish or any other competing group. Might this not be the ultimate in the "culture of critique"? The counterpoint to chapter 5 of Separation and Its Discontents?

In fact, I brought up that topic a few times with him, and he won't say anything except to say that all humans are the same in the eyes of God, etc. The same goes for a preacher I knew. Same thing.

Even very religious people often ignore race. If you prefer to suggest that, if I notice that fact, it means that I live in "La-La land," then okay.

Besides the fact that that is the OPPOSITE of what he just said, need I remind you of the Forced March from OD that you and Tex and Walter enacted around a year ago? Myself, Wintermute, Neo and Avalanche, Anti-Yuppie and even Franco hisownself found ourselves most stridently not wanted here. All of us mentioned race - constantly and to excess - none of us "Christians" (certainly not as defined by you guys). Sure, fences got mended somewhat, but that still doesn't lend any credence to the statement in the quote-box above.

The ongoing battle as described in MW Dallas' posts seems to me to underline that - insofar as the long struggle of Jew vs Gentile is concerned - the Jew sees the battle lines and the winning strategy both as racial/ethnic, not religious. Religious belief may or may not be important to Jews but it remains a secondary matter, one best divorced from temporal/secular life....or at least kept at a safe remove.

One thing's for sure: if Jews threw their own to the lions with the self-righteous frequency that varying sects of Christians do, there would be no "Jewish question", because there would be no Jews left to ask questions about. Jew killing Jew is an aberration...gentile killing gentile (holy book in hand, spittle flying from mouth) is merely business as usual.

Here you can see him spreading rather childish slander about Martin Luther:

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]"That's basically the main point of the book, and overall Degenerate Moderns is a bit incoherent as the author assumes too much of the reader by giving a stream of examples without explaining the context of his argument adequately. Degenerate Moderns asks the question: "Was Martin Luther really a great reformer? or was he just wanting to [insert your thoughts here] with the nuns?""[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][B]"I really enjoyed Jones' book, but the last chapter where he rehashes old Counter-Reformation-til-the-turn-of-the-20th-century indictments of Martin Luther as a sex crazed inventor was outdated and contrived. "[/B][/COLOR]

The problem is the way one treats his competitors is often worse than they way he treats his enemies. Especially Nazi's. Which is the problem a lot of Christians and conservatives have. In view of the long Nazi record of hostility toward Christian values and western civilization, they view Nazi's as worse than any communists, and wouldn't be caught dead doing anything associated with them. Like talking about race etc.

You Linderite types seem to do everything in your power to justify them in this position.

In fact, those topics are more important than religion, since a person can change his religion but cannot change his race. Obviously religious people disagree. If they were to agree with you they would no longer be religious. What you are asking of them is to renounce their religion. Just like the communists. But at least the communists are smart enough to realize a person can't simultaneously be religious and non-religious.

[QUOTE=Texas Dissident][quote=Angler]Furthermore, it's well known that Christian Zionists are a very powerful force in national politics and have the ear of Bush and many members of Congress.

This is where we disagree. If CZ's, or the greater evangelical Christian 'Right' if you will, were really such a powerful force in nat'l politics, wouldn't you think of their having some tiny something to show for it? Let's see, abortion? Nope. Gay rights? Nope. Ten Commandments still in the Court House? Nope. Tougher divorce laws? Nope. Prayer in public schools? Nope.

In short, the CZ's and religious right have political and judicial losses right down the line on every issue significant to them. You just can't convince me they are anywhere near being labeled a 'powerful force' in national politics. Again, I say they are merely a convenient and easy target for the anti-Bush/GOP/conservative Lefties and nowhere near the great influence that the secularists like to make them out to be. Your counterexamples are well-taken, but the discrepancy between the political failures of the Religious Right and the successes of the Israeli lobby (these aren't really the same, although they definitely overlap) can probably be explained by the fact that there's no effective "anti-Israel lobby" at work in this nation. Sure, we have certain liberal groups (e.g., SUSTAIN) and a handful of ultra-right-wingers, but all such groups are highly marginalized and have little influence (hopefully that will change). But there is a pro-abortion lobby, a pro-gay lobby, an anti-prayer lobby, etc., that hinder the efforts of the Christian lobbyists. So that could explain the lack of success regarding issues other than Israel.

Marx and Engels didn't invent "communism", and "communism" and "bolshevism" aren't the same thing. Marx and Engels wrote books and articles that more or less added up to an ideology known as MARXISM. Bolshevism was that universalist ideology put into practice in Russia by an essentially Jewish coup d'etat for the benefit of the Jewish community.

It will show you that totalitarian socialism was by no means invented by Marx, but is something that has existed, in different forms, ever since the dawn of men.

I believe that the dislike of Jews by the gentiles comes from the fact that we don't understand them.

I really would like to learn more of those people of God who are the Chosen Ones as told in the Bible.

Because I would like to learn more of them I would like to corespond with any of you here who is of the Jewish faith.

And if you lie to me I will give you a new azzhole, with all due respect... of course :gunsmilie

I do have a list of about 10,000 questions for you to answer me and the first one will be about the Jewish wanted criminal by the name of Salomon who in person killed over 150 persons with a bat, his favorite weapon, and why the state of Israel refused to send him to those countries who wants to put him on trial.

Okie's "triumph" was, as they say, a Pyrrhic one.

And lookit him now - blustering and flustering, gently hinting that we'd all be far happier someplace else. Franco, go back to VNN! Raggy, off to the Phora with you - and take this new guy with you!

Okie wants his echo chamber back. Particularly since he can no longer second his own opinions as "Frederick William".

Whoever might irritate him by noticing what a posturing fool he is. After all, "dialogue" always works a lot better when everybody's saying the exact same thing and sticking closely to the script - everybody knows that.

In that case, Okie, I urge you to confer with Tex, and commence yanking OD authorizations all over again. Tell him it just looks bad when 150 or so lurkers have to endure embarrassing spectacles like people actually disagreeing and debating with each other, or threads that don't get conclusively resolved with Bible quotes. Point out to him the advantages of presiding over a ghost town.... like ample parking.

Pledging prime allegiance to something other than 'the Jews' is considered de facto proof of non-Jewishness. This is why many Jews feel more loyalty to Israel than to their host countries, and it is why devout Jewish families sometimes hold mock funerals for those Jews who convert to Christianity.

[QUOTE=Ponce]White Elite if you are a Jew I am a Christian.

then I am here for you and yes being a Jew is being part of a race or more proper a nationality. Being a Jew is, first and foremost, being part of a covenenant with God. The race or ethnicity of the underlying members of the Jewish religion is secondary. There are Jews with blond hair and blue eyes, and there are Jews with dark brown skin and dark brown eyes. The overriding factor is whether or not they love and serve God.

Being Jewish was like saying I am a Christian but in the case of the Jews that's no longer the option and being a Jew is being part of a race. Jews have internalized some of the racist ideas they were exposed to in Europe, but that doesn't mean those ideas are correct. They're not correct. Race has nothing to do with character and morality.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would rather have Al Roker for a next door neighbor rather than Jeffrey Dahmer, even though Roker is "black" and Dahmer is "white". Character always trumps race.

Take the Star of Davis, that's supposed to be a religious emblem but you can now see it painted on war tanks, jets, missiles, helicopters ,the Israel passenger planes and on and on and on.

To me that would be like the Christians placing the holy cross all over the place....what the Jews are doing is the same as what Herr Hiler did with the Swastika. Hitler was a satanic, god-hating aggressor who killed, and directly or indirectly caused the death of, tens of millions of innocent people and destroyed an entire continent.

In 1947-1948, the UN voted to divide Palestine between the Arabs and the Jews. The Jews accepted it. The Arabs rejected it. The surrounding Arab states readied for war against the Jews, and have been warring against the Jews ever since, in an attempt to "push them into the sea". The Jews in Israel have been fighting back as is their right to self-defense.

Comparing the Jews efforts at self-defense to Hitlers maniacal war-mongering and genocide spree is ridiculous.

By the way, the Star of David as well as the Swastika dates hundred and hundreds of years before the Nazis or the Zionists.[/QUOTE]The Star of David symbolizes the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

The upward pointing triangle symbolizes Heaven. ^

The downward pointing triangle symbolizes Earth. v

When you have overlap them, you have a visual representation of the Kingdom of Heaven Earth, as referred to in the prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Our Father, who art in Heaven Holy is thy name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done On Earth v As it is in Heaven ^ Give us this day Our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those Who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the Evil One.

Hitler was a servant of the Evil One, as were Nietzsche, Marx, Engels, Stalin, Lenin, Crowley, Hubbard, Manson, and all the other God haters.

Yes, the Talmud could be called the world's first racist book, since Jews are a race first and a religion second [i.e. even Jews who are not religious, such as liberal Jews, are still Jews via their genes].

In fact, I am surprised that the Talmud is not banned in Europe as a "hate" book.

[QUOTE=White Elite]I am a Christian.

Being a Jew is, first and foremost, being part of a covenenant with God. The race or ethnicity of the underlying members of the Jewish religion is secondary. There are Jews with blond hair and blue eyes, and there are Jews with dark brown skin and dark brown eyes. The overriding factor is whether or not they love and serve God.[/QUOTE]

They don't serve God. They reject and despise Jesus Christ who is God and they reject the Holy Spirit who is God as well. If a Jew converts to Christianity, he/she's considered a pariah. Which god do they serve?

[QUOTE]Jews have internalized some of the racist ideas they were exposed to in Europe, but that doesn't mean those ideas are correct. They're not correct. Race has nothing to do with character and morality.[/QUOTE]

That's a stretch. Do you live in town or city that's close to large negro populations? Black neighborhoods suck and they're dirty, violent and run-down. White neighborhoods are clean, pleasant, and safe. That's all I need to know about "character".

[QUOTE]I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would rather have Al Roker for a next door neighbor rather than Jeffrey Dahmer, even though Roker is "black" and Dahmer is "white". Character always trumps race.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't want Al Roker as my neighbor anymore than I'd want Jeffrey Dahmler. Character doesn't trump race. You'll find that 99% of blacks, including Al Roker, think OJ was innocent of having anything to do with his wife's murder, whether they say it out loud or not. OTOH, 99.9% of Whites think Jeffrey Dahmler, according to evidence, was a mass-murdering psycho killer who deserved his punishment. THAT's the difference.

[QUOTE]Hitler was a satanic, god-hating aggressor who killed, and directly or indirectly caused the death of, tens of millions of innocent people and destroyed an entire continent.[/QUOTE]

Hitler's Nazi ideology and rhetoric was always centered on Germany for Germans only. It was other nations that didn't want to tolerate an alternative system that would threaten their own corrupt Central Banking systems (owned and operated by Jews) and war ensued and Germany did what they had to do, like Russia and England had to do what they had to do.

[QUOTE]In 1947-1948, the UN voted to divide Palestine between the Arabs and the Jews. The Jews accepted it. The Arabs rejected it. The surrounding Arab states readied for war against the Jews, and have been warring against the Jews ever since, in an attempt to "push them into the sea". The Jews in Israel have been fighting back as is their right to self-defense.[/QUOTE]

The Jews have no blood rights to the land of Palestine, except maybe the small minority of Sephardic Jews, who already lived in Palestine and coexisted with Christian and Muslim alike. The "blond hair, blue eyed" Jews in Israel are descendants of an ancient tribe that later converted to Judaism and have no rights to the land. They stole it by deception.

[QUOTE]Comparing the Jews efforts at self-defense to Hitlers maniacal war-mongering and genocide spree is ridiculous.[/QUOTE]

You call yourself "White Elite", then you should know that the Israelis use similiar tactics that were allegedly used by Nazis. Torture, population displacement and relocation, collective punishment, etc, etc. It's not ridiculous to make comparisons.

I have not read the Talmud either, but I am planning to in the near future to find out the truth of the matter.

That being said, the Talmud is the oral commentary on the Torah, which is the law itself. To my knowledge, many rabbis were quoted in it discussing various issues, so I'm not surprised if various untruthful ideas are mentioned in it.

However, I do know that 99% of all the neo-Nazi nonsense I was exposed to turned out to be lies (such as those ridiculously fabricated anti-Jewish Franklin and Washington quotes), so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the same is true for the "racist" Talmud quotes.

Here's my take. Jews are not a race, but a religious community with strong ethnic elements (Ashkenazi and Sephardic) that usually apply. Just like most Christians are Slavs/Celts/Germanics/other Europeans, most Jews are Ashkenazi or Sephardic.

Judaism is a religion which I disagree with because of some of its hateful elements but I will say that I value morality more than I do religion. However, most Jews have not been too moral. I guess I will say that not all Jews are Jewish Supremecists, but enough of them are to warrant a threat. The Jewish community has many threatening people. Not all are threats but enough of them are.

I think Hitler was not a model citizen to model our Governement after but he was forced to go a to a lot of extremes he went to because of some of the bad economic circumstances of the time, which certain Jewish Supremecists happened to contribute to.

I just have a question if its just a black thing though. Erik basically talked about jews, as did Fade. It sounds like at the very least more than a few corner crips and bloods - more likely the local NAACP chapter, just off the phone from talking to the SPLC.

You have to understand that - not six months ago - Erik D had come to the Phora from VNN Forum, parroting the "the Jews are a plague and must be wiped out" company line. But after a week or so of exposure to Fade's "It is a fact that the Jews do not control the media" spin, he began to adopt this [I]new [/I] flavor sitting next to him in the icebox. Suddenly he "realized" extremism was a dead-end...just like Fade!

Except Fade's landed Southern gentry, so while he gives Jews a pass, he has [I]very[/I] harsh opinions on blacks; sure enough, Erik soon adopted the identical [I]Jews ok, blacks bad [/I] worldview.

About a week later, Lindstedt made his debut, and we all know his style - [I]I will drink dual-seedline nut-brown ale from jewr hollowed out skull, spam whigger-mamzer[/I] is how he says "hello" when first meeting you. So Fade and a few others hie over to VNN Forum to bait and insult him, Erik D in tow. Amazingly, once he was again in an environment rife with unapologetic racist riffraff, Erik begins mimicking their lingo once [I]again[/I], and he's Jew-bashing anew.

By now I wasn't alone in suspecting his elevator didn't go up to the penthouse, if you get my drift...and sure enough, he soon fessed up to being pretty much ex-everything: ex-skinhead, ex-WCOTC, ex-mental patient, etc, etc. He ostentatiously made his farewell to the Net forever to embark on a self-described 'journey of discovery'. That lasted about two months; and he's been ping-ponging back and forth ever since.

But it's only been very recently, the last two times he's beamed down from the Mothership, that he's been pushing the [I]we-are-all-black, 400-years-of-oppression, I-live-in-the-hood-and-see-Whitey's-evil-everyday [/I] script, while wearing a t-shirt that says "My Boss Is A Scientist Named Yacub".

So, given his propensity to attach himself to [I]any[/I]one stronger-minded and more dogmatic than he, y'gotta wonder what this latest orientation-session consisted of.

And frankly, it has to be said: whether you call it racism, racialism, race-realism or just plain [I]I don't like them people[/I], committing to these beliefs means committing to a sort of dual existence: going along to get along in public; and hewing to your version of Forbidden Truth in private. It's a path that is fraught with schizophrenic peril for even the strongest-minded - those more susceptible to mental illness are skipping thru a minefield without even realizing it. I often wonder if racialism is even suitable for anyone under 35 or so, particularly in our own era where adults remain adolescents almost indefinitely; and if this is a contributing reason to why there is nothing even resembling unity, shared purpose or even a workable plan, short or long-term, on the White Right.

You can quibble with their approach, moderation, and inevitable compromises, but cutting people loose from a policy of the possibility of constructive engagement with at least broadly sympathetic sections of society, keeping them locked in a cyber-world full of anarchic and schismatic WN's, has a lot of negative effects on people, especially younger and more unstable types. Plus I've long suspected that a lot of WN types mean to cultivate this type of craziness for their own purposes, such as with the lone wolf's of the "leaderless resistance" movement.

I think they're trying to use people for themselves, and often in destructive ways. We don't often see the results of that, but occasionally we do. ErikD is just one I'm sure of the many casualties of the WN movement out there.

I for one know that at least here at OD we've at least tried to keep open some positive venues and positive paradigms to help people like this. Its imprtant to us, although I know to a lot of people it isn't.

There are certain weenies whose weenieness lodges itself in the file cabinet of your memory. It took a few posts to trigger mine, but - once it did - the other pieces fell into place.

Raina's mo is more "Jews gave you Western civilization" and - of course - "women love to kill", "racists r stoopit", and "white slaves are all asking for it", with lots of sidebar scatology. Raina attacks/asserts Jewish superiority; Erik D either pleads for, or insists on, universal oneness and brotherhood, like a stray dog yipping after you.

I guess what I am saying is that there are certain viewpoints which, if allowed to clutter up the board, will offend the typical Paleocon and drive them away. I have the sense that Paleocons (and WNs, for that matter) are so alienated from the mainstream PC nonsense that they want to gather on boards which are PC free, or where PC views are confined to a "dissenting views" section.

Kinda like moving to a small town to avoid rush hour traffic. You don't want rush hour traffic to follow you there.

If the purpose of the OD board were to seek abstract truth, then I suppose all viewpoints should be allowed. But I don't think that is the proper purpose of the OD board. I view it as sort of a gentlemens' club of the web, where active posters have the same basic instincts and common goals (even if they differ on how to achieve those goals), and where certain irritants are not allowed in the door.

I suppose it all comes down to a question of having the will to dominate and survive.

Do we have it?

Should we demonstrate that we have it here?

[/QUOTE]Is this an example of a "typical paleocon"? [QUOTE] Neoconservative Jews are defenders of Western Civilization and would be welcome in a European-American nation.

Howard Stern, the redneck Jew, is emblematic of an even more significant movement of Jews out of the psychological ghetto of fear, and into mainstream European-American popular culture. When Howard Stern berates blacks, he is not overcome by fear that turning his goyish audience against blacks might lead to discrimination against Jews as well. Forty years ago that would have been an automatic reaction among all Jews. Today, that fear seems as implausible to most Jews as would a fear that stirring up anti-black sentiment would lead inexorably to discrimination against the Irish.

Jews in the Howard Stern/Andrew Dice Clay mold do not consider themselves threatened by other whites. Psychologically they feel that they are whites, and I see no reason to try to change their minds.[/QUOTE][url="http://home.ddc.net/ygg/rj/rj-19.htm"]http://home.ddc.net/ygg/rj/rj-19.htm[/url]

You know, it is time for me to go back and clean up my own web page of those writings from 1994 and 1995, before the true colors of the neocons were known, and which conflict with my current views.

Back then the neo-cons made a pretty good show of wanting to preserve Western Civilization, and Paleos like myself were taken in.

I have had this tendency to think that a lot of people with paleo instincts are probably still fooled, and thus might identify with these early writings - otherwise the Republican Party could not function the way it does.

However, I get blowtorched for these things I wrote back in 1994-95 so much that, right or wrong about their recruitment potential, it just ain't worth the dues anymore.

And given the facts on the ground ten years later, a few of the passages do sound rather ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Texas Dissident]I would bet that for every one solid contributing new member we get 30 trolls, disruptors and run-of-the-mill wackos.[/QUOTE]Sounds about right!! :rolleyes:

I understand that moderating is an under-appreciated art form, which is why I started off this detour with a comical question about "custom".

Its just that in this case overt espressions of Jewish supremecism (or the sumpremecism of Judaism) really get my goat, whether posted by trolls or the sincerely confused.

The point being that there are a few very bright lines which should bring swift discipline - much swifter discipline that one would inflict on the typical, clever "poser troll" who pretends to be a WN and then gently and persistently tries to move WN (or Christian Nationalism) in the direction that serves neo-con interests.

The key to survival for a "poser troll" is to move from thread to thread and to avoid getting into lengthy exchanges. The longer and more detailed the debate gets on a single thread, the more likely he is to prove himself IP and be banned.

The process of exposing and banning "poser trolls" us usefull to the extent that it can finely calibrate our IP detection antennae. Thus, in those cases a 6 pound line and some flopping around are OK.

[QUOTE=il ragno]And frankly, it has to be said: whether you call it racism, racialism, race-realism or just plain [I]I don't like them people[/I], committing to these beliefs means committing to a sort of dual existence: going along to get along in public; and hewing to your version of Forbidden Truth in private. It's a path that is fraught with schizophrenic peril for even the strongest-minded - those more susceptible to mental illness are skipping thru a minefield without even realizing it. I often wonder if racialism is even suitable for anyone under 35 or so, particularly in our own era where adults remain adolescents almost indefinitely; and if this is a contributing reason to why there is nothing even resembling unity, shared purpose or even a workable plan, short or long-term, on the White Right.[/QUOTE]

Orwell called it "Doublethink". Not a rare phenomenon in occupied nations...


As Orwell explains in the book, the Party could not protect its iron grip on power without degrading its people and exposing them to constant propaganda. Yet knowledge of this brutality and deception, even within the Party itself could lead to disgusted collapse of the state from within, as the Soviet Union later fell in the late 20th century. For this reason, Orwell’s idealized government used a complex system of "reality control". Though the novel is most famous for its pervasive surveillance of daily life, reality control meant that the population could be controlled and manipulated merely through the alteration of everyday language and thought. Newspeak was the method for controlling thought through language; Doublethink was the method of controlling thought directly...

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doublethink&redirect=no[/url]

Doublethink was a form of trained, willful blindness to contradictions in a system of beliefs. In the case of Winston Smith, Orwell's protagonist, it meant being able to work at the Ministry of Truth deleting uncomfortable facts from public records, and then believing in the new history which he himself had written.

One can argue that learning doublethink is benefitial for the whites, as they may finally learn how to think and feel as a group and become more cunning and discriminate when choosing their circle of close friends. In fact, that may be a necessary condition to survive and win: either you become more complex and tribal, or you just drown in divershitty.

It is of course a common knowledge among political propaganda scientists that self-deception and deception are linked, and reinforce each other generally. Perhaps one of the reasons for the aleged high-incoidence of schiziphrenia among jews, although I would suspect it just owes more to the high rate of psychoanalysts among them.

I see two differences just at a glance; there are probably more.

  1. When Jews [I]double-track [/I] today, they don't hide the part that's inconvenient for them to say but what's inconvenient for [I]you [/I] to [I]know[/I]. They don't have to worry about being overheard saying [I]I am a Jew/ we are the achievers, the light unto the world/ for 5000 years the world persecutes us/ antipathy towards Israel is treason against America/ millions of goyishe lives < one Jewish fingernail[/I]. This is what they can and have said [U]openly[/U]. No white may say any of that. What [I]they[/I] double-track is what might finally compel [U]you[/U] to snap, paint JUDE on their store-windows and drag them onto cattle-cars again. Bear this in mind: [U]we[/U] double-track to survive and avoid pariah status and persecution; [U]they[/U] double-track to maintain control.

  2. The most extreme example of Jewish [I]double-tracking [/I] came during the weakest and most vulnerable point of their presence in Europe: the marrano period, the Inquisition. Are whites strong enough, unified enough, and selfless enough to insincerely undergo religious conversion and "pray" to alien gods, while biding their time - [I]and finding ways to make even their humiliation gain them advantages [/I] - until the tempests finally pass and they can again solidify, re-emerging stronger than before? No. Stubborn pride and a different, emptier, sort of exceptionalism holds sway with us. We've shown, time and again, the same pathological inclination to drop everything and take up arms to engage in racial fratricide over the most piddling of cosmetic differences among ourselves. It's true our histories have wired us differently, but look at - not just the wiggers - but the loyalists to a nonexistant "Judeo-Christian tradition"; I dunno what [I]you [/I] see, but [I]I[/I] see unconscious marranos who take to alien gods hook, line and sinker without it ever occurring to them that [I]this is [B]supposed [/B] to be just an act[/I].
