Following the Joe McCarthy episode of the mid Twentieth
Century in the United States
of America , the Jewish leaders reckoned that
they will be better off stabbing the other Joe in the back, and turning away
from his Stalinist order of world domination by Communist ideology. Instead,
they embraced the “democratic” order of things wondering what the agenda will
turn out to be but not worrying too much for now. And they did all this even
though they had no idea then anymore than they do now what the word democracy
stood for.
To the casual observer, things looked quiet for twenty years
after that but this was a deception -- a veritable optical illusion. In fact,
while nothing extraordinary appeared to take place to the naked eye, the
trained eyes that could see below the surface of things saw the preparations
that were made by the Jewish leaders to first dominate America then go
from there and seek to dominate the whole world as per the grand old design of
their ancient mentors.
Thus, while America continued to march confidently and
optimistically toward a future it believed was its own, the Jewish leaders were
quietly plotting to make sure that the country's potential in all fields of
endeavor will be put not in the service of the real people of America but the
service of Israel -- their pet project then as it is today – and the service of
Jews everywhere in the world. In fact, those leaders have managed to accomplish
so much for their causes that America 's
apparent confidence and optimism gradually transformed from a state of
certainty to that of a serious question mark.
The future was beginning to cloud for America as the
Jewish leaders went on to do what they were doing between the mid-Sixties of
the Twentieth Century and the early part of the Twenty-First Century. They did
it relentlessly and without respite during the good times when America was soaring like an eagle, and they did
it during the bad times when America
was suffering like a wounded bird. It is that the ball they had their eyes on
was not America but Israel and only Israel .
To appreciate what happened in that period, we need to
visualize a quintessential Jew interacting on the same stage with a
quintessential American. The Jew will have to be well versed in psychiatry
given that much of the Jewish activities were based on the playing of
psychological games. As to the American, he will have to be above average in
intelligence and academic achievement, and he will have to be spoiled enough by
the good life he has led so far as to be utterly naïve when it comes to the
hard realities of everyday living, let alone the sort of games that the Jewish
leaders were playing.
Lucky for us, it happened that on July 12, 2012 the magazine
National Review Online published two articles that do the job for us. The first
was written by the former Jewish psychiatrist, Charles Krauthammer under the
title: “The Islamist Ascendency” and the subtitle: “We are in the third stage
of modern Arab political history.” The second article was written by the
American Victor Davis Hanson under the title: “The World Is Changing Minute by
Minute” and the subtitle: “Technological breakthroughs and unforeseen political
upheavals are upending the conventional wisdom.”
This last word “wisdom” is a key word in both articles
because it tells something about the state of mind of the two authors. Hanson
used it to mock the pessimistic predictions that were made in the past.
Krauthammer used it to express a wish that the Arab world will be westernized –
whatever that means. Unlike some of the authors we encounter in the popular
press these days, our two authors are intelligent and talented on many levels.
Still, even though we do not detect a contradiction in what they are saying
about the future of America
and the West in their respective articles, we detect something which indicates
that each of them is coming from a point of view far removed from the other.
And this says that they must have held contradictory views at some point; views
they kept inside and may never have expressed openly in the past.
Having described himself as being to the right of Attila the
Hun, and having advocated the indiscriminate sending to Guantanamo Bay of all
the people he dislikes, Krauthammer has demonstrated by what ruthless spirit he
was motivated. And he made it clear he felt comfortable with that, a situation
that lasted till the moment that things began to change. This is when he
realized that going after a bunch of unruly Arab kids who love to play hide and
seek with the self-proclaimed policeman of the world was not going to save the
Jews from whatever existential threat he believed was menacing them. And so he
mellowed -- perhaps thinking to himself that he had finally acquired the wisdom
that escaped him when he was younger.
But Krauthammer the Hun (German) -- who says he is from a
French descent more than he is a Kraut (German) despite the sound of his name –
had always been the apocalyptic horseman who personally led the charge against
the Arabs, describing them (in different ways and different words) as being
more vile than any monster you can imagine. And this was the steady diet on
which Victor Hanson and those of his generation were feeding as they grew up.
Thus, while the creator of the distorted image of the Arabs now seems to
denounce his own creation – at least temporarily and for the occasion -- Victor
Hanson the disciple is keeping alive the old image of the Arabs while mocking
the people (like himself) who used to be terrified by it. Go figure.
And so – surprise, surprise -- not to fear the Arabs anymore
is what the disciple is urging at this time. In this sense, he too has mellowed
but for a reason that is diametrically opposed to that of Krauthammer. In fact,
while the latter sees wisdom in trying to win the Arabs to the side of the Jews
and of Israel rather than further antagonize them, Hanson believes that
America's old glory is destined to come back to where it belongs despite the
Arabs and all the others enemies. You cannot help but see here a difference in
the way that each of them tackles the same subject while standing on the same
stage. As you will see, Krauthammer who used to practice psychiatry is choosing
to take up and navigate a realistic road while Hanson, his moral disciple is
choosing to fantasize about the road ahead.
What Krauthammer does is use recent events to argue: “That
the Arab Spring is a misnomer. This is an Islamist ascendancy, likely to
dominate Arab politics for a generation.” But while going from the introduction
he started with earlier to come to this conclusion, he passes by a point in the
middle where he equates moderation with being westernized. Even though this is
not a very clear concept, it is a misstep that demolishes his argument and
voids his presentation because no one has been more immoderate than the
Westerners. To wit, he and countless other people like himself have long argued
that the problem with the most violent and most despotic of the Arab rulers
such as the Baathists of Iraq and of Syria, is that they learned the Western
ways too well and have applied them faithfully. And this guy wants all the
Arabs to be westernized? Go figure.
The old argument went on to say that those Arab leaders
learned all there was to learn about the full spectrum of Western despotism --
ranging from Communism on the far Left to Fascism on the far Right -- and they
behaved as badly as the characters they imitated. But Krauthammer now seems to
repudiate this theory. Why so? Because it suits his new argument -- nothing
more profound than this. It is an approach that is so predictable; you should
expect him to change his mind again when the new stance will have become stale
and no longer serving the purpose for which it was imagined.
Anyway, Krauthammer concludes that Islam – which has been
touted as the answer to the Arabs' lack of progress – is no answer at all, and
he predicts that if moderate Islam radicalizes “it too will fail and bring on
yet another future Arab Spring where democracy might actually be the answer …
and thus achieve by evolution an authentic Arab-Islamic democratic norm.” A
very hopeful note on which to end a column for an Attila of the French Kraut
variety. Who would have thought that Chuck will one day be so nice as to write
such kind words about the Arabs?
We now look at the work of the disciple, Victor Hanson. He
begins with this introductory sentence: “We are witnessing a seismic shift in
global affairs.” He then goes on to list the pessimistic views – fed, as he
says, by the old conventional wisdom -- which used to make America and Israel look weak and getting
weaker, while making their enemies look strong and getting stronger. But he
gleefully dismisses all of that with the following: “But none of that
conventional wisdom now seems very wise – largely because of a number of
technological breakthroughs and equally unforeseen political upheavals.”
This said, he explains the last part of his statement. He
tells that “the euro zone is unraveling” while “the Arab Middle East is now in
a free fall.” How sweet those unforeseen political upheavals! But there is
more. There are the technological breakthroughs: “Horizontal drilling and
fracking have made oil shale and tar sands rich sources of oil and natural gas,
so much so that the United
States may prove to posses the largest store
of fossil-fuel reserves in the world.” And lest we forget Israel , he reminds us of this: “Even more
surreal, tiny oil-poor Israel ,
thanks to vast new offshore finds, has been reinvented as a potential energy
giant in the Middle East .”
Well, the one thing I am not going to do is debate a
speculative fantasy with the speculator that created it. I know from experience
this would be a thankless task. Rather, I have my own point of view concerning
the three subjects he mentions, and they are as follows: First, the euro zone
may unravel in the sense that some of the countries will get out of the
arrangement but this will not be the end of Europe .
In any case, even if this were to happen, how will that serve America 's
purpose? Please explain.
Second, globalization did not start with the high-tech boom;
it started six or seven decades before that with the energy boom. And ever
since that time, energy has been a global phenomenon and will remain so
regardless as to where it will be dug out and where it will be used. This will
be everywhere, in fact, because the whole world will eventually become
industrialized. And the result is that no one nation will have such a clear
advantage over everyone else, it could impose its will on the whole world. Not
even the America
in Hanson's fantasy world.
Third, many of the wars and skirmishes that happened in the
Middle East came about because Israel
tried to steal Arab water. When technological breakthroughs made it possible to
desalinate sea water at a reasonable price, the Israelis found it cheaper to
get water by this method than get it through wars. Likewise, an energy
self-sufficient Israel will
minimize the need for America
to pimp for it or threaten the neighbors who refuse to conjugate with it
economically, politically or otherwise.
The trouble, however, has always been that every time Israel
tried to invite the big companies to come and drill in Israel, the Israelis did
what they do best which is to tell an ounce of truth and back it with a ton of
verbal manure. This always had the corrosive effect of jinxing the effort.
Thus, if not for the sake of those of us who had it up to here with Israeli
manure, I implore Hanson for the sake of the Israelis to keep quiet and not
jinx the project yet again. Hold back on your dancing in the street till they
get the gas out, Vic. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed, your mouth
shut and just watch.
To those of us, old timers, who saw the growth of the Jewish
influence in America and are aware of the devastating effect it has had on what
used to be a superpower now reduced in the words of Victor Hanson to a pile of
“pathologies – massive budget and trade
deficits, mounting debt, strategic vulnerability … a litigious and indulgent
America settled for a run-down LAX and creaking Amtrak relics,” it looks like
history is trying to repeat itself. But the silver lining is that history may
not succeed this time.
It is that like the
old days, a number of Jewish leaders are still trying to suck the goodness out
of America and still trying
to divert it to Israel
and to every group of Jews wherever they may be. Like the old days, the leaders
do what they do relentlessly, and they do it without respite in good times and
in bad times except that the times are so bad now, the American people will not
be lulled into complacency anymore. It will be impossible to repeat history
under the current conditions.
Sooner or later, the
result of the Jewish activities will be that the leaders will have learned to
mellow as did Krauthammer; but more than that, they will know they have to stay
mellowed. Those who do not will be hammered by a population that is
increasingly turning weary of the Jewish antics. What will make this happen is
the fact that the American people are now able to decipher those antics more
easily than ever before, and they do not like what they uncover.
As to the disciples
who are so imbued with the Zionist philosophical manure they cannot shake it
off, they will no longer represent the quintessential American and will wither
away because America
will have moved away from them.
If lucky, these
people will quietly be retired to the pasture for the psychologically
irretrievable where they will live a comfortable life surrounded by fantasies
of their creation to entertain themselves.
