Sadly, we need to talk about antisemitism. This annoys me but it is just the way it is.
One of the things I bang on about at Iain Davis is money, what it is and how it is created. This means I also criticise bankers and banking. Doing so today means quite a few people automatically accuse me of being antisemitic.
They don’t know why, really don’t understand what they are talking about, and are driven by a deep rooted need to be seen by their mates saying ‘the right thing.’ This is the result of a planned social control mechanism purposefully designed to ensure most people will never question the monetary system, banking or bankers. Those who do can be marginalised or prosecuted for hate crime if they won’t shut up.
For example, criticism of George Soros is frequently held up as a classic example of the antisemitism supposedly underpinning the views of those who question international financiers. The basis for this allegation is wrong, but that doesn’t stop many falsely alleging antisemitism against any who question global banksters and the monetary system.
The fact that Soros isn’t Jewish completely eludes them. Soros was borne in Budapest to non-observant Jewish family. Irrespective of his Bah mitzvah as a child, he is an atheist who has publicly stated that he does not ‘self identify’ as Jewish. That so many, who claim any criticism of Soros is antisemitic, haven’t even bothered to find out if he is actually Jewish should tell you a lot about the nature of these spurious attempts to silence debate. They are no less illogical than the genuine antisemites who do believe there is a ‘Jewish plot to enslave humanity.’
Ironically the allegation that international finance is a ‘Jewish conspiracy’ historically comes from the same establishment who today falsely accuse ‘conspiracy theorists’ of holding that view. In 1918 a U.S. State Department Document called ‘Bolshevism and Judaism’ (Decimal File: 861.00/5339) listed the financiers of the Bolshevik Revolution (such as Jacob Schiff from Kuhn, Loeb & Company) and highlighted their Jewish heritage. The document persistently alleged that their status as Jews was somehow relevant to their business practices. It claimed:
“……the link between Jewish multi-millionaires and Jewish proletarians was forged.”
This prompted a series of cables between the State Department and its Embassy in London which became increasingly antisemitic. This led to British Intelligence reporting the following to the British government:
“SUMMARY: There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders in America, France, Russia and England with a view to concerted action.”
While there is plenty of evidence that U.S. financiers funded the Blosheviks, there isn’t any that they did so simply because some of them happened to be Jewish. Judaism had absolutely nothing to do with it. The allegation of the U.S. State Department and British Intelligence were based upon nothing other than antisemitic bigotry.
So before I receive further allegations that I am antisemitic, because I question the banksters, let’s be clear about some of the historical roots of that bigotry. Once we are, perhaps we can then discuss why there is no ‘Jewish conspiracy’ and how the false allegation of antisemitism is being used to silence debate.
In 1974 Professor Anthony C. Sutton, in his clinical study ‘Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution,’ revealed both the scale of the lie and how it is used to silence dissent against the financial establishment:
“The persistence with which the Jewish-conspiracy myth has been pushed suggests that it may well be a deliberate device to divert attention from the real issues and the real causes. The evidence provided in this book suggests that the New York bankers who were also Jewish had relatively minor roles in supporting the Bolsheviks, while the New York bankers who were also Gentiles (Morgan, Rockefeller, Thompson) had major roles. What better way to divert attention from the real operators than by the medieval bogeyman of antisemitism?”
Knowledge about how banking and central banking works is key to understanding the New World Order (NWO.) This term comes from H.G.Wells book of the same name. So called ‘conspiracy theorists’ only use it, to describe a global financial network that controls the world economy, because world leaders have referred to it themselves to reference a proposed system of global governance. The term has been co-opted to express an idea consistently touted by political leaders, nothing more.
This is something I have discussed in depth in my latest book Pseudopandemic (FREE to In this Together subscribers). Today we can see the proposed form of global governance, which is what New World Order really means, as the emerging Global Public Private Partnership (GPPP).
There is nothing antisemitic about this concept. Yet we are persistently told it is an antisemitic ‘trope.’ Why?
Some bankers happen to be Jewish, the mainstream media (MSM) use the antisemitism ‘label’ to achieve their goal of silencing any criticism of international banking. It really isn’t difficult to figure out why. The people who don’t want you to question the banking cartels are the same people who own the MSM.
You often hear, or read, the MSM referring to so called conspiracy theorist’s view of the NWO with phrases like ‘a Jewish conspiracy to enslave humanity’ or ‘the idea that Jews are planning to take over the world.’ This is monumental tripe. There is absolutely nothing intrinsically antisemitic about the concept of the New World Order. The suggestion that there is baseless. It’s propaganda.
Of course antisemitism is real. We only need to look at recent European history to establish the fact. It exists among a minority of idiots in our society. A small proportion of those idiots are also ‘conspiracy theorists.’ Just as a small proportion of all segments of society are idiots.
However, most genuine antisemites tend to reveal themselves either by getting dressed up and goose-stepping along the street, wearing Nazi regalia (even when they aren’t going to a party) or actually saying moronic things like ‘the Jews are planning to take over the world.’ Yet the anti-Semite label is being applied to people who don’t say, do or think any of those things.
Like most forms of extreme bigotry, antisemitism is so repugnant it has justifiably become a social taboo. Therefore, because people psychologically fear social exclusion, the MSM are using a psychological technique to establish a completely unwarranted link between, what they like to call, ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘antisemitism.’ The intention is to ‘trigger’ the unconscious censorship of ideas in order to control what people think. Don’t fall for it.
The controlled MSM desperately want to ensure you never consider the possibility that the world is run by a largely unseen global, corporate network. This thought is so unwelcome the ‘conspiracy theorist’ label alone is insufficient. If necessary they need a basis upon which to imprison people who think or, even worse, talk about this idea.
Labelling people who talk about it as antisemites enables policy makers and their subservient state legislatures to link these thoughts to ‘hate speech’ and lock them up. As suggested recently by the UK’s former Home Secretary, Amber Rudd. Her words are those of a tyrant because she remains unwilling to clearly define what she means by ‘extremism.’
While most of us would agree that a person who repeatedly watches bomb making videos should perhaps be listed as a potential ‘person of interest,’ Rudd is claiming people who watch, read or listen to whatever she, or the government, consider to be ‘far right’ material, should also be surveilled by the state. She goes further and suggests they could be imprisoned for up to 15 years.
Notably she does not clarify what ‘far right’ means, leaving the term loosely defined, enabling her and the government to accuse anyone of ‘far right extremism’ simply if they can make the allegation stick. People can be labelled ‘far right,’ presumably due to alleged antisemitism, because they criticise international banking.
There is nothing ‘right wing’ or antisemitic about this view, but by drawing the parallel, the facts no longer matter. All that matters is that the allegation is believed by the majority. If you hold the ‘wrong’ opinion, according to Rudd and the minority government she represents, you can be silenced by the court for your ‘extremist views.’ She is creating ‘thought crime,’ and there’s nothing more fascistic than that.
For example, in the UK a street artist painted a mural which showed a group of banksters, sat around a monopoly board, balanced on the backs of black people, bent over under its weight. The symbology was clear and, to emphasise the point, the artist added the text ‘the New World Order is the enemy of humanity.’
The caricatures of the bankers were based upon historical figures from the banking industry and the occult. Rothschild (Jewish), Warburg (Jewish), Rockefeller (Northern Baptist), Morgans (Episcopal Anglican), Carnegie (Presbytarian) and Crowley ( Christian Fundamentalist Occultist). There was absolutely nothing intrinsically antisemitic about it.
The only possible way you could possibly construe this as antisemitic is if you completely ignore the fact that the majority of those depicted weren’t Jewish and then claim that any representation of any Jewish person is, by definition, antisemitic. By all means do so if you wish, but I’m afraid that means you have completely taken leave of your senses and are toying with insanity.
More to the point, the artist was making an anti-racist statement. It is often developing nations who suffer the worst ravages of corporate exploitation (neocolonialism), which is why the people being crushed in his painting were predominantly black. A fact which simply wasn’t mentioned at all by anyone who criticised his work as ‘racist.’
When the street artist, using the tag Mear One, was asked to respond to the accusations he said:
“My mural is about class and privilege. The banker group is made up of Jewish and white Anglos, I believe in equality and brother- and sisterhood on a global scale. What I am against is class. Ruling class – this is a problem and we need humanisation.”
Yet this didn’t stop the MSM from using it to falsely link the artist’s expression of the New World Order to antisemitism. Allegedly, some members of the local Jewish community and Jewish lobby groups insisted that it was antisemitic. Apparently, some people stated that it resembled Nazi propaganda.
This doesn’t mean it did, only that some were offended because they thought it did. Even if it did ‘resemble’ Nazi propaganda, which it didn’t, so what? Art Deco also ‘resembles’ the ‘heroic realism’ preferred by the Nazi’s and the Communists. Does this mean everything that came out of the Art Deco movement should be destroyed in case someone is offended by it?
However, I digress, because it didn’t look anything like ‘heroic realism,’ nor did it depict the stylised caricatures of Jews synonymous with actual Nazi propaganda. Bear in mind, no Jewish symbols were depicted (as you can see,) nothing related to Judaism was suggested and, of the bankers shown, only two happened to be Jewish, the majority weren’t.
A local Councillor went further. He reportedly urged the police to prosecute the artist under ‘race hate’ legislation. Presumably driven by his warped, illogical hysteria he supposedly wrote:
“It bears an awful similarity to antisemitic propaganda produced in pre-war Germany. As well as the anti-Jewish overtones, there is even the quasi-Masonic (and dollar bill) aspect to encourage conspiracy theory. What will be done about the person or person’s who has produced this and when will it be removed?”
The idea that any caricature depiction of a Jewish historical or cultural figure is automatically antisemitic is lunacy. Yet BBC presenter Andrew Marr described it as ‘Third Reich propaganda antisemitism.’
Marr is not a stupid man, so he was either deliberately creating disinformation or, like many people, is its unwitting, psychologically controlled victim. Similarly, speaking about its destruction, Tom Watson, deputy leader of Britain’s Labour Party, told Marr on the BBC:
“My reaction is that is a horrible antisemitic mural that was rightly taken down.”
The inane drivel informing Watson’s opinion is immeasurable. What happens to people like Marr or Watson if they see a caricature of Woody Allen or Albert Einstein? This surely induces horrific images of Nazi atrocities in their minds. How about Joseph Heller or Franz Kafka? Going into a book shop must fill them with dread, not knowing which image of a Jewish author might trigger their bouts of apoplectic mania.
The fact that some global financiers are Jewish is irrelevant. It means absolutely nothing at all to most ‘conspiracy theorists’ who question the NWO. Neither ‘conspiracy theory,’ in general, nor criticism of the New World Order are antisemitic. It is just what you are ‘told’ to believe by the MSM and it isn’t true.
This does not mean that many conspiracy theorists aren’t critical of the political ideology of Zionism. If you go to ‘Wikipedia’ (useful for names, dates and basic detail, but little else) it will tell you that Zionism is a national movement of the Jewish people, only concerned with the establishment of a Jewish homeland, as defined in the Bible. What they don’t tell you, is that many of the harshest critic of the ‘political ideology’ of Zionism are, and always have been, Jewish. Including many Israelis. Nor do they disclose that Zionism is also concerned with Israeli expansionism.
While most Israeli’s are Jews, many self identify foremost as Israeli, especially Israeli atheists and the quarter of the population who aren’t Jewish. The Israeli Jews are not all Zionists either, nor are the Jewish diaspora, the suggestion that they are is bigoted.
Zionism is a purely a political ideology that advocates a greater Israel. It isn’t even a universally held political opinion in Israel, and is predominantly found in the Likud Party, currently headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. Claiming that Zionism has some sort of intrinsic link to Judaism is total bunk. There are plenty of Zionists who aren’t Jewish. The irony that those accusing conspiracy theorists of religious bigotry or cultural stereotyping are falsely ascribing a single political ideology to an entire civilisation shouldn’t be overlooked.
It is perfectly possible to criticise a political ideology without ‘blaming’ an entire nationality, country or faith group. The MSM are again trying to establish parallels between questioning Zionism and antisemitism. This is a non sequitur. It is no different to claiming that any criticism of British imperialism is anti-Christian.
This strategy is used to stop you asking any questions about the behaviour of the Israeli government. Sadly, by manipulating emotional responses, peoples’ opinions can be controlled with relative ease.
There are two primary reasons why so called ‘conspiracy theorists’ question Zionism and neither have anything to do with criticism of Jews for being Jewish. Firstly many of the leading neocons who were the architects of the ‘global war on terror’ are Zionists. This means they believe and support the geopolitical ambition of Israeli expansionism in the Middle East. Many are also Jewish and some, such as Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, were dual U.S. and Israeli citizens. But it is neither their faith nor nationality conspiracy theorists question, it’s their political ideology and actions.
In 1982 Oded Yinon wrote a strategy document called ‘A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties,’ which became known as ‘the Yinon Plan.’ The document advocated destabilising and breaking up Arab states into smaller, sectarian enclaves. It stated:
“The dissolution of Syria and Iraq into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front.…..An Iraqi-Iranian war will tear Iraq apart and cause its downfall..….Every kind of inter-Arab confrontation will assist us in the short run and will shorten the way to the more important aim of breaking up Iraq.”
This indicates a possible geostrategic link between the ‘Yinon Plan’ and the events that have transpired in the Middle East as part of the ‘war on terror.’ A concept planned and executed by the Zionist neocons in the Anglo U.S. Establishment.
Therefore, it is an entirely reasonable political question to ask if there are connections between Anglo U.S. imperialism and the Zionist plan for a ‘Greater Israel,’ as articulated in the Yinon Plan and elsewhere. This has nothing to do with antisemitism. It is a geopolitical point.
The MSM’s use of ‘antisemitism,’ simply as a label to discredit critics who aren’t antisemites, is a disgusting abuse of the term. Deliberately employing it as a form of psychological censorship, for a political agenda, betrays its true meaning.
As a result of the extensive MSM propaganda, it is practically impossible to criticise either international banking, or the actions of the Israeli government, without being falsely accused of antisemitism. Both trigger people’s emotional ‘identity politics,’ rendering the majority unable to think rationally about these issues. It creates the cognitive dissonance which allows millions of people to believe they are progressive liberals while they act like oppressive authoritarians. Florynce Kennedy was right when she observed:
“When a system of oppression has become institutionalised it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive.”
Therefore, I hope you can accept my writings and opinions are not borne from antisemitism. Some will accuse me of it but the allegation, without evidence, doesn’t make them right. Should they wish to discuss the historical facts, without resorting to ‘telling me’ what I think, I am happy to do so.
More importantly however, I hope you recognise that people who question international banking, banking cartels and the monetary system are not all antisemites. Just as in broader society, a very small percentage will hold antisemitic views but there is absolutely no direct link between so called ‘conspiracy theory’ the New World Order concept and antisemitism. The tactic is being used to stop you questioning issues of vital, global significance.
Perhaps the first question you should ask is why.
