Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

On the eve of what may well turn out to be World War III, here is an 
essay that America, if it survives, will never forget and will call 
one of the most courageous essays ever written:

'The Dark Secret Of
Jewish Power Is Out'
Midas Ears

By Israel Shamir
3-14-3

A new spectre haunts America. It enters the well-protected boardrooms 
of newspapers and banks, shakes the deep foundations of its towers. 
It is the spectre of glasnost: the dark secret of Jewish power is 
out. Just recently it was 'third rail', touch-and-die, deadly 
dangerous to mention, certain end to a career. Just recently, Joe 
Public snapped his TV from an eminence with an Israeli passport to a 
member of a Jewish think-tank, and muttered to himself: Surely it is 
just a coincidence that so many important and largely unelected 
people in our country happen to belong to this small minority group. 
Surely it is just a coincidence that they belong to different parties 
but reach the same conclusions. Surely it is just a coincidence that 
ninety per cent of American foreign aid goes to their cousins in 
prosperous Tel Aviv. Surely it is just a coincidence that they run 
our newspapers, television, cinema, universities. Anyway, we are not 
allowed to notice this elephant in our sitting room.
 
Only rare desperados comment, as Edgar Steele did on Rense.com: "The 
silence in America concerning Jews is simply deafening, isn't it? The 
old adage has it that, when visiting a foreign country, to ascertain 
who really runs things, one need determine only who is spoken about 
in whispers, if at all." Judged by this measure, the Jews rule 
supreme. Indeed, when I referred to 'Jewish media lords' during a 
UNESCO conference in the summer of 2001, the audience's hearts missed 
a beat.
 
The yet-unfought War on Iraq changed this. The American Ultimatum 
date was set on 17 March, the Jewish feast of Purim. Purim, 1991 saw 
destruction of Iraqi armies and death of 200,000 Iraqis. Too many 
coincidences for a purely American war. The Americans peeped into the 
bottomless abyss of World War Three and woke up from their 
generation-long stupor. Thus the first victim of the Iraqi War is not 
truth, but the strongest taboo in the West. A Democrat member of 
Congress, usually a most docile specimen, one James Moran, dared to 
tell his supporters: "If it were not for the strong support of the 
Jewish community for this war with Iraq we would not be doing this."
 
He was immediately slapped by a Jewish overseer: "It is simply 
stunning to hear Representative Moran make such accusations", said 
National Jewish Democratic Council Executive Director, Ira N. Forman. 
"First, a number of the current leaders of the anti-war movement are 
Jewish, and Jewish organizations have clearly not been at the 
forefront among those groups actively and stridently supporting a war 
in Iraq". Forman had spoken, and the media reported and amplified his 
view, and Moran duly recanted, slapped. But he is not the only one.
 
The secret is out, and like the secret of King Midas and his long 
ears, it is being sung now from coast to coast, despite the frantic 
efforts of the organised Jewish community to clamp the lid back on 
the boiling cauldron. Kathleen and Bill Christison, [i] two ex-CIA 
experts, exposed the link between right-wing American Jews and the 
Bush Administration. Edward Said, the most celebrated American 
thinker of Palestinian origin, stated the cause: "An immensely 
wealthy and powerful republic has been hijacked by a small cabal of 
individuals, all of them unelected and therefore unresponsive to 
public pressure." [ii]
 
He was seconded by courageous Herman, Neumann and Blankfort. These 
Americans of Jewish origin object to the un-elected, anti-democratic 
Jewish power as they would object to any disproportionate minority 
power. Their presence, as they were not afraid of the anti-Semitic 
label, was instrumental in turning the tide and saving the 
intimidated majority from its browbeating.
 
Edward Herman, the author of Manufacturing Consent (together with 
Noam Chomsky), wrote of "the powerful pro-Israel lobby in the United 
States, which advances Israeli interests by pushing for U.S. aid and 
protection to Israel, and, currently, by pressing for a war against 
Iraq, which again will serve Israeli interests. This lobby has not 
only helped control media debate and made congress into `Israeli 
occupied territory', it has seen to it that numerous officials with 
'dual loyalties' occupy strategic decision-making positions in the 
Bush administration"
 
Jeffrey Blankfort, the Californian who defeated ADL in court and made 
=46oxman pay heaps of dollars for his espionage against activists, took 
an important next step and rejected the views upheld by Noam Chomsky, 
Joel Beinin and Stephen Zunes, for these older radicals play down the 
crucial importance of Jewish power. Jeff Blankfort noticed the roots 
of the Rupture Evangelicals' meteoric rise in the US. This obscure 
sect would never have left its lair in remote Dixie, but for the 
Jewish media lords. Jeff noticed that when Black Entertainment 
Television was taken over by Viacom, whose owner, Sumner Redstone (n=E9 
Murray Rothstein), was recently described in the New York Times as 
the world's biggest media owner, he eliminated BET's news program and 
began running evangelical Christian infomercials for Israel. 
Blankfort's list of 'Jews in media' [iii] enables an understanding of 
the secret of Jewish charm, and it can be compared with a similar 
extensive list by Prof. Kevin MacDonald of California State 
University.
 
The Iraqi War, and even more its linkage with Palestine, became the 
litmus test of Jewish power. Organised Jewry pushed for war and at 
the same time denied its involvement. Thus in New York City, the City 
Council rejected an anti-war resolution, and only 12 of its 51 
members were for it. This is not strange for heavily Jewish New York. 
Indeed, a Democrat, Rep. Robert Jackson, said it in a most 
straightforward way: "New York City is the home away from home for 
most Jews; and many members of the Jewish community think [the war 
is] in the best interests of the state of Israel." According to 
Jackson, several of his council colleagues have been intimidated into 
silence by the pro-Israel crowd: "People are not talking about this."
 
Jackson was certainly right, but a Jewish newspaper [iv] 
(surprisingly or not, all newspapers in the New York area are Jewish) 
condemned him for racism: "[He claimed that] not only do the Jews run 
New York City, but they've cowed their opponents into silence. 
Jackson could as well call New York Hymietown."
 
This response is remarkable for its typically Jewish logic. First, 
the opponent's rational argument is perverted and distorted, then it 
is aligned with opprobrium; and at the last stage, the opponent is 
destroyed forever. That is one of the secrets of Jewish might: the 
Jews enter a dialogue berserk-like, with great vehemence, quite 
foreign to the Socratic style. While sane people are satisfied with 
quoting their opponent and fighting his arguments, madmen (for 
berserk is a temporarily-mad individual) go for the jugular.
 
David Mamet, the Jewish American playwright, provides a good example 
of this vehemence as he notices a "Volvo of old, the vehicle of my 
brethren, the congenitally liberal. It was festooned, as are its 
kind, with every sort of correct exhortation: Save James Bay, Honour 
Diversity, and so on. A most interesting bumper sticker read: Israel 
Out of the Settlements a slogan which could best be translated as 
Hook-nosed Jews Die".
 
I wonder why Mamet stopped at this, for with equal adequacy the 
slogan can be translated as Torture Babies, Denounce America and Burn 
Apple Pie. Who cares for the form of the Jewish nose? Mel Brooks 
noticed long ago that Jewish girls have the cutest noses, made by the 
best plastic surgeons
 
It is the racist Jewish policies in occupied Palestine that annoy 
good, 'congenitally liberal' people. But if Mamet were honest, he 
would not be Mamet.
 
Now, Bill Keller of the NY Times read the Riot Act to the Americans. 
He kindly allows that 'most of the big Jewish organizations and many 
donors are backing the war' but insists that 'the idea that Israel's 
interests are driving one of the most momentous shifts in America's 
foreign policy is simple-minded and offensive'. Well, Keller is 
certainly being paid for his convictions by a Jewish media lord, and 
one of the nastiest, Arthur Sulzberger Jr, the owner of the NY Times, 
the Boston Globe and a host of other publications. This undermines 
the possible veracity of Keller's words. Let something similar be 
written in a thoroughly non-Jewish newspaper! But alas, there are no 
important media outlets in the US that are not owned or controlled by 
Jews
 
Surely a coincidence? Do not bet on it. A few days ago, in the Hebrew 
University of Jerusalem, an important all-Jewish conference on 
anti-Semitism took place under the auspicious aegis of the Sasson 
Centre. The talk given by the French Jewish historian Simcha Epstein 
dealt with pre-war France but pertained more immediately to America. 
This is what Epstein said:
 
"The pre-war anti-Semites said that the Jews of France organized a 
syndicate secretly bankrolling and subverting the press. And what did 
the Jews say at that time? They said: 'Of course not! No, it's a lie, 
of course not! We are not engaged in conspiracies!' And what did the 
historians and the Jewish historiography coming afterwards say? 'Of 
course not! It is anti-Semitic drivel!' But we know now from Jewish 
sources that before the WWII the Jews of France secretly financed the 
press.
 
"Since the end of 19th century, there was a secret Jewish 
organization, well financed, which bought and bankrolled newspapers. 
Sometimes it took over existing newspapers, which suddenly became 
pro-Dreifus because they received Jewish subsidies. New papers were 
created especially by the Jews. Two very important papers of the 
period, one was called Les Droits de l'Homme, the Rights of Man, was 
financed by the Jews, and L'Humanit=E9, which was the Socialist and 
then the Communist newspaper of France, was also financed by Jews. I 
say this on the authority Jewish sources of course.
 
"And this brings us to a dramatic dilemma of historiography. Saying 
this, saying what I said, is something horrible and unacceptable, 
because it means that the Jews organized a conspiracy and secretly 
bought the media, or part of the media. That was precisely what the 
anti-Semites said at that time, and what they still say today. And we 
know now from Jewish sources that the allegations were true, that 
there was a Jewish clandestine activity of bankrolling the press." 
End of quote.
 
Some people perceive every suggestion that Jews are able to act 
together as a mad conspiracy theory. Let them read and re-read this 
report by a Jewish historian made at a Jewish conference. If it is 
proven now beyond any reasonable doubt that the Jews of France 
secretly bought and subverted French media for many years in order to 
distort the national discourse and eventually push unprepared France 
into the horrible and unneeded World War Two, is it impossible to 
consider that the Jews of the US have secretly taken over their 
national media and are now pushing the US into a horrible and 
unneeded World War Three?
 
Actually there is no need for secrecy. One of the chief Zionist 
ideologists, Zeev Hefetz (ex-spokesman of PM Begin), wrote in an 
American daily: "Disarming Iraq is only a start in Middle East" as 
"the Arab and Iranian (sic!) cultures" are "irrational" and that 
nothing can be done, short of war, to "improve the collective mental 
health of Arab societies". [v]Certainly this massive 'disarmament' 
will be carried out by American soldiers, though the commands will be 
given by the Jewish chicken-hawks roosting in Pentagon. As for 
reasons for the war, they were eloquently stated by a keynote speaker 
at a conference on anti-Semitism by Yehuda Bauer, the director of the 
Holocaust Memorial Institute Yad va-Shem in Jerusalem:
The Jews are not a nation, neither a religion, he said. They are a 
civilisation, and they have their civilising mission. They cannot 
tolerate the competing civilisation of Islam, as they could not 
tolerate Christendom or Communism. That is why the war with Islam is 
unavoidable.
 
But the war is avoidable. Even today, at minutes before H-hour, the 
war is avoidable. And if fire is unavoidable, let the Jewish advisers 
of President Bush be fired. Let this Purim see the great Exodus of 
the "Wolfowitz Cabal" from the Pentagon. Excluding the clinical 
possibility of his actual zombification, G W Bush should be able to 
understand that he has been misled by this powerful, un-elected 
minority. They cannot deliver what they promised. Moreover, their own 
days at the helm of the Republic are numbered. They over-estimated 
their abilities, and pushed too hard. As the frog of La Fontaine, 
they can blow up. Bush still can do a U-turn, and save himself and 
his country.
 
In a way, today's America reminds of Russia in 1986, at the beginning 
of glasnost. After the Soviet citizens were allowed to learn who 
rules them and how, the days of the Soviet regime were counted. 
Glasnost gave place to perestroika. Now, for the first time in a 
generation, Americans are allowed to see the men in power, the toxic 
combination of the Right-Wing Democrats of Lieberman, the Republican 
neo-liberals, the Neo-Cons and plain Con-men. The Iraqi War brought 
them forward and presented them in clear light. Now is the time to 
undo their hold.
 
It can't be postponed for the divisive presidency of G W Bush is 
perceived as the period of 'White' Protestant Anglo-Saxon rule, 
despite the prevalence of his Jewish advisers. All available 
contenders for the next elections - Lieberman, Kelly and even 
Kuchinich - claim their Jewish connections and declare their 
undivided loyalty to Jewry and to the state of Israel. In the present 
political setup of America, there will be no real alternative to 
Jewish ascendancy. If Bush flops, it will be construed by the media 
as a WASP flop. If he succeeds, it will be seen as success of his 
Jewish advisers.
 
That is why American patriot forces should not wait for the next 
elections, or for the end of war. They must act now, by calling the 
war off. They have an enemy, but he is not in Iraq. What is called 
for is a new American revolution, on a par with the New Deal and 
abolition of slavery, with de-monopolisation of the discourse; that 
is of media and universities, for starters. In the beginning of the 
Twentieth Century, Americans undid the mighty Standard Oil. They 
created new anti-monopoly laws and terminated the threat to 
democracy. This achievement could be repeated now.

[iii] Here is enough sampling to indicate that it is not:
 
=46irst of all, Sumner Redstone ( n=E9 Murray Rothstein) owns $8 billion 
dollars worth of Viacom, which gives him the controlling interest in 
CBS, Viacom, MTV worldwide (Brian Graden, president), and most 
recently he bought Black Entertainment Television and proceeded 
immediately to cut down its public-affairs programming. The president 
of CBS is Leslie Moonves, the great nephew of David Ben-Gurion.
 
Michael Eisner is the major owner of Disney-Capitol Cities, which 
owns ABC. David Westin is the president of ABC News. Although it has 
lost viewers, Nightline host Ted Koppel is a strong supporter of

perennial Barbara Walters.
 
Neil Shapiro is the president of NBC News. Jeffrey Zucker is the head 
of NBC Entertainment and Jack Myers has some important post there, as 
well.
Although Rupert Murdoch of Fox is not Jewish, Mel Karamazin, the 
president of the corporation is, as is Peter Chernin, the second in 
command at Murdoch's News Corps.
 
Sandy Grushow is chairman of Fox Entertainment, and Gail Berman is 
president. Murtdoch has received numerous awards from various Jewish 
charities.

David Schneiderman owns the Village Voice and a number of other 
"alternative" weeklies.
Columnist William Safire, Tom Freidman, Charles Krauthammer, Richard 
Cohen, Jeff Jacoby, are among the most widely syndicated columnists.
 
There are a number of widely syndicated talk show hosts such as 
Michael Savage (ABC) on more than 100 stations, Michael Medved, 124 
stations, and Dennis Prager who has an Israeli flag on his website. 
Others include Ron Owens, Ben Wattenberg, and former ZOA official Jon 
Rothman, all in San Francisco on ABC.
 
In Hollywood, which was founded by Jews, there is of course, Stephen 
Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Kranzberg of Dreamworks, Eisner 
of Disney, Amy Pascal, chair of Columbia, and many, many more.
 
=46or the intellectuals, we have NPR, with pundit Daniel Schorr and 
weekend hosts Scott Simon and Liane Hansen, Robert Segal, Susan 
Stanberg, Eric Weiner, Daniel Lev, Linda Gradstein (a well-known 
speaker at pro-Israel events) covering Jerusalem, Mike Schuster 
(whose soft-ball interview with Ariel Sharon after Sabra and Shatila 
should have brought him before the court of Hamarabi). Brook 
Gladstein.
 
And that's just for starters. From the boss to the delivery it's an 
impressive list. While they certainly can't be put in the same box 
when it comes to Israel, they more or less guarantee that there will 
be limits to any criticism they may make of Israel".
