It seems it just ain't kosher for goys to criticize Jews in public. Too bad.

are the product of the Judaic secular culture which has triumphed in the West.
As the enthusiastic reviewer of Yuri Slezkine's The Jewish Century
(Princeton University Press 2004) claims in a NYRB ad, "the Modern Age is the
Jewish Age - and we are all, to varying degrees, Jews." According to him, not
only have Jews adapted better than many other groups to living in the modern
world, they have become "the symbol and standard of modern life
everywhere"

goals of

Of
course, you realize that most Jews are only recent converts to capitalism,
regardless of the Rothschild's wealth. In our time, these recent converts
created Kosher Capitalism, or neo-conservatism, which isn't conservative at all,
but a reinvention of Trotsky's plan for permanent revolution, as we see going on
in the Middle East.

So this claim of
cultural hegemony is neither new nor especially controversial, though for
American academics to boast about it so openly certainly marks a new boldness in
the Jewish agenda (also fresh from PrincetonU, Jews and the American Soul
by Andrew Heinze, sporting the Statue of Liberty clutching a menorah). If we
assume there is more to life than acting out the role of shabbas goy, we
must confront this in-your-face Jewish cultural hegemony, which it can be argued
includes not only control of intellectual commanding heights, but less prettily,
holocaust worship, denial of the spiritual dimension in humanity and the rule of
money. For Jews, it means radically rethinking their very identity as Jews
whatever cabbage leaf they might have been born
under.
Yes,
I agree. However, the situation is this: the New World Order has conquered all
the cultural ground, all the economic ground, all the political ground, and
almost all of the social-religious ground, too. Therefore, those of us who
oppose the NWO and seek a replacement for it have no such ground to stand on. We
can only stand on our ideals, values, beliefs, thoughts, and vision. But we
cannot point to a society, anywhere, that embodies what we seek or what we are
talking about.
And for
the rest of us, the Zionist plan for a world Knesset in

It is the fruit of Jewishness, what it means to be Jew. As I've always said, the
problem with Zionism is that it's simply Jews acting on fundamental Jewish
cultural-religious assumptions. Zionism is Judaism in action, despite what Jews
Against Zionism say. Jews Against Zionism would do the SAME THING as the

recapitulating Marx in "On the Jewish question", which predates Zionism, but
which is as timely as ever. When he states that "the emancipation of the Jews
is, in the last analysis, the emancipation of mankind from Judaism" he is
referring to the historical caricature of the selfish, vengeful, racist tribe of
the Jewish diaspora, which was a lightning-rod for prejudice, and is calling on
Jews to assimilate into their societies and disown their identification with
these negative human traits.

with Marx about the need to abolish Judaism as a cultural-political-religious

Yes,
the issue is: assimilation means the end of Judaism and hence the end of Jews in
that sense, i.e., Jews practicing Judaism.
Like the logic of
disinvestment, this compelling logic of assimilation is met with cries of "You
marry this shikse and you help finish off what Hitler tried to
do!"
That's a quintessentially Jewish point of
view.
But as Elon says,
"If people want to assimilate to the point that they disappear within the
general society without a trace - that's their right. I don't think it's a
tragedy. It's not the end of the world."
It is
the end, to a loyal Jew.
Then we
have the pseudo-assimilationists: "But I am a good American. I am assimilated."
This Slezkine-style 'assimilation' is like that of the aliens in the sci-fi cult
movie "They live!" (1988), who look for all intents and purposes like natives
(only of course superior), and slowly colonize Earth, taking control of the
economy, politics and culture. They can only be detected with special
sunglasses. Of course the hero sees through this ruse and the goys (oops, I mean

Shamir's vision. It's a good
one.
The ex-Israeli
psychologist Avigail Abarbanel argues that Israeli identity is built upon fear,
that it is a political construct that has been used to create a paranoid
identity.
It's
much bigger than that. Jewish identity is built upon fear and detestation of the
goy. It has always been that way. Ever since Deuteronomy, and perhaps before.
Further, one of the essentials of Jewish identity is that there is no mutuality
or reciprocity of reality between Jews and goyim. Jews live in one world, goyim
in the other, and there is no cause-and effect relationship between the two, as
far as the Jew is concerned. What this means is that it is impossible for a
loyal Jew to comprehend that Judaism itself is the primary cause of
"anti-semitism." No, he believes all "anti-semitism" is caused by the beastly
nature of goyim themselves, who sporadically strike out at Jews for no good
reason at all. Nothing that a Jew does could possibly be the cause of justified
goyish anger at Jews. It's all the fault of the goyim, and the Jew is always
innocent, or if he is undeniably guilty of something, no goyish court is worthy
to try him. The Talmud teaches that only Jews are human and only Jews have a
covenant with God, and this attitude has permeated the Jewish soul, through the
Jewish culture, even if a Jew is an atheist.

Buddha and Jesus, spiritual fulfillment is achieved through renunciation rather
than racism and war. Now that the "Jewish century" is behind us, we can say that
Jews were 'chosen' by history (God, whatever) to lead the way to universal
hegemony of the spirit over matter.
But
they did JUST THE OPPOSITE. They lead the way to the false belief in the
universal hegemony of matter over spirit. They have abandoned the spirit of God,
which, I believe, came to us in a much higher manifestation, through the Son of
God, Jesus. In my view, the Jews went wrong in rejecting him and his spirit,
which was poured out over all mankind: God is our Father, and we are all
children of this same God. We are all the sons and daughters of God. That's the
basis of universal spiritual enlightenment. Through communism, psychiatry,
anthropology, cultural Marxism, and related fields, the Jews gave the world the
exact opposite of God's teaching.

moving on dialectically. The spiral comes around again at a higher level. This
has been my experience as an intellectual - dazed by Jewish thinkers, realizing
they have no soul, and struggling to nurture my own underdeveloped soul through
spiritual enlightenment. We are all children of this same God. We are all the
sons and daughters of God. That's the basis of universal spiritual
enlightenment.
Defang Judaism, as
Jesus did, and that's what you get.]
The brilliance of
Jewish scientists, capitalists, philosophers, etc. is justly recognized.
However, the two secular solutions to 'the chosen people achieving liberation'
tried in the Jewish century - utopian communism and racist Zionism - proved to
be tragic failures for both Jews and gentiles.
And
the reason for that failure is just as I said above -- the denial of the spirit
of God in man, the establishment of atheistic societies and atheistic viewpoints
about everything. Instead of the improvement of Christianity as a bulwark of
faith and spirit, Judaism has succeeded in its destruction and cooption.
Christianity for the most part is now a whore for
Judaism.
[Well said. Time
for a dialectical turn of the spiral. I didn't want to get into Xianity too much
here, but I agree with you totally.]
In practical terms
today the solution requires signing off on such wild schemes, renouncing the
flesh-and-blood Jewish state and embracing the one-state solution. Only by
receding from the world's headline news and trying to blend into societies
wherever they find themselves can Jews be liberated from their tragic history,
and find genuine integration with the human race as
equals.
This
will require a spiritual rebirth. Nothing else is powerful
enough.
