If it needs no defense, don't defend it
Most
people are familiar with the saying: “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” Well,
there is no reason why the saying cannot be paraphrased to say the following:
If it needs no defense, don't defend it.
It's
important to have a saying such as that in circulation to remind people like
Paul Krause that a well-established culture is not a Humpty Dumpty that can
fall and break, never to be repaired or come back stronger than ever. In fact,
a fully developed culture that comes under attack will not disappear no matter
how much it is suppressed initially.
Examples
abound about cultures in Africa and Asia that were put down but are rising
again while gathering more strength than ever before. And because a
civilization is ten times more robust than a culture –– being constructed in
the form of a mosaic with several closely related cultures –– it can almost
never be suppressed by attacks, but will acquire more strength with each blow.
It
is evident that Paul Krause thinks differently, which is why he was prompted to
express fear for Western Civilization. He did so in an article he wrote under
the title: “Who Will Defend Western Civilization?” published on June 21, 2020
in the online magazine, The American Thinker.
Krause
began his discussion with this assertion: “The West is a dying civilization.
That much is evident.” After decrying the apathy of those who should rise to
defend Western Civilization but are not, he started telling who, he believes
are attacking Western Civilization, and why they are doing it. Surprisingly,
Krause does not blame the anticipated death of Western Civilization on outside
forces, though he briefly mentions: The Franks who stopped an Islamic invasion
of Europe, and the Catholics who fought the Turks at Lepanto.
Instead,
Paul Krause blames: “the nihilistic and iconoclastic Multicultural Left” of
America and Europe for the slow death of Western Civilization. But what is it
exactly that the Left is doing that's killing Western Civilization, according
to Paul Krause? What the Left is doing, is propound a narrative that is
anti-racism and anti-imperialism, he says. As a result, they are destroying the
symbols that were put up to honor the individuals who participated in a racist
or imperialist act that might have contributed to the glory of Western
Civilization, he adds.
And
that's when you feel like you've been slapped in the face. You grew up
believing that you adhere to a system of virtues defined by the three words,
“liberté, égalité, fraternité,” which in time, were tweaked to sound like,
“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” but someone says it was all an
illusion, and you didn't even know it. In reality, Paul Krause seems to suggest
that you grew up believing in racism and in the right of imperialists to
dominate others. That, in his view, is what makes up, “the West's heroic
nobility,” being the glue that keeps Western Civilization together.
You
reject what you consider to be Krause's distorted view of Western Civilization,
and you look into his article for clues as to what may have confused him. You
notice two sentences that are incredibly pretentious. They are: “The riots are
not about George Floyd” and “Multiculturalism is not about multiculturalism.”
This being his belief, he must be ascribing to the “rioters” and the proponents
of multi multiculturalism, hidden motives so dark they cannot be discussed,
which is why he is not revealing them. Too bad.
Instead
of doing that, Paul Krause has lamented that the conservatives of America are
not conserving the victories (if there exist any) of the last 20 years. He went
on to express dread for when we'll soon pass Mount Rushmore and utter the words
to be found at the end of Percy Shelley's poem Ozymandias.
Bear
in mind that Ozymandias is the name that the ancient Greeks gave to the
Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramses the Second who, to this day is disliked by some people
for having been a ruthless warrior.
Percy
Shelley wrote the poem, having visited Egypt and seen one of the wrecked
statues of Ramses. Apparently, he did not see the one that stood in glory and
full magnificence in the square that bears his name near the Cairo train
station, “Bab al-Hadid.” Instead, what he saw is what he described as follows:
“Two
vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand
in the desert … Near them on the sand,
Half
sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And
wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command...”
To
Paul Krause, this was enough to remind him and remind everyone that empires are
ephemeral. So, he asked the question: “Who will defend Western Civilization?”
Well, I have an answer that should reassure him. It is this: Egypt being the
cradle of Western Civilization, the Egyptians will defend it if and when
defense will be needed. But that's not the case at this time.
Come
to think of it, defending Civilization is what the Egyptians have been doing
for thousands of years when necessary. I know this because I am of Egyptian
origin, and during all of my adult life, I have been fighting skirmishes
against the forces of darkness that were heaped upon me. I am pushing back to
defend and preserve the only Civilization I came to know and appreciate.
Trust me, Paul, the forces of darkness are no match to our strength and determination. We're going to be okay.

Devouring the sucker that can give no more
Here it is, my friend, the story of an Israeli Jew that hypnotized
an American Jew, getting him to approve and promote a demonic shell-game that
will cut from America's flesh and give to Israel more than Israel has ever
received from America over the decades. All of this is to be done at a time
when America's pockets have been emptied of goodies that can be given away.
This is the story of Yossi Beilin who used to be Minister of
Justice in Israel, putting on paper a plan that will have America borrow $24
billion from the Chinese and hand the money to Israel as a grant never to be
returned. In turn, Israel will invest this money to earn profits, dividends and
interests, working with the Chinese while America is paying back the principal
and paying interest to the Chinese. Can you believe this?
Aware that the plan –– written in the form of an article in
English –– was unworthy of publication anywhere in the English-speaking world,
Yossi Beilin raised its profile by having it published in English in an Israeli
newspaper. Beilin went further and approached Daniel Kurtzer, a Jewish American
diplomat, and asked him to co-sign the article. Hypnotized by the idea, Kurtzer
accepted to masquerade as co-author of the article, and had a slightly modified
version of it printed in an American publication.
The article came under the title: “3 Bilateral Agreements That
Would Improve Israel's Relationship With America,” and the subtitle: “Israel
should be trying to wean itself off of US assistance while further deepening
its institutional ties with the United States.” As mentioned, the article was
supposedly written by Yossi Beilin and Daniel Kurtzer, and was printed on June
19, 2020 in the American publication, The National Interest.
Sensing that even this may not be enough to give the article the
gravitas that will impress the decision-making crowd in the Washington Beltway,
the two authors decided to give Israel a dose of artificial gravitas. Their aim
was to make it sound like America wasn't being the foolish blubbery giant
that's being taken advantage of by a skinny weasel, but that America was like
the gentleman who was dealing with another gentleman of equal eminence. What
the writers did to that end, was to insert the following sentence in the
article: “Israel has an advanced economy and a sophisticated society”.
But because they could say nothing that would convince anyone that
Israel had an economy, let alone an advanced one without being laughed out of
town, the writers did something you often encounter in Jewish articles. It is
that they turned “advanced economy” into a link that sends the readers––guess
where––to the Israeli newspaper and the article that was written and published
under Yossi Beilin’s name alone a few days earlier. You could look into that
article all you want for a description of Israel’s economy, and you would find
none. Eventually, you realize that the link was a diversion meant to confuse
the readers and make them believe that the truth is somewhere in there but that
it escaped them.
In reality, the Yossi Beilin plan is a trick, which they plan to
use to pull off a gigantic scheme that will dwarf any scheme the Jews pulled on
the Americans up to now. What they want to do is go back to the plan they
signed with the Obama administration for a 10-year aid package that guaranteed
Israel $4 billion or so a year. Something like $24 billion remain to be given
out, and they want all of it “front loaded” right now.
But because it is unthinkable that the moral prostitutes in the
Washington Beltway will go for 6 or 7 years without milking America to continue
feeding Israel even after it gets all that money right away, the Jews sat down
to think up a plan that will fill those years without causing the American
public to revolt. They hit on an idea that should be compatible with Israel
receiving a lump sum of $24 billion.
Here is the idea: Because profit is made in Africa and Asia these
days and will be for the foreseeable future, the Israelis know they will have
to invest the money in the places where the Chinese are also investing. Since
they know they cannot con the Chinese who would take them as partners only if
they have something valuable to contribute, the Jews are asking America to hand
Israel its hi-tech secrets and innovations. These will be the valuables that
the Jews will give to the Chinese for the privilege of being accepted as their
partners. And the Jews want the Americans to believe that these transactions
will benefit America, believe it or not. Here is how Beilin and Kurtzer
formulated that cockamamie idea:
“To replace US security assistance, there are a number of measures
that should be undertaken. One agreement would define expansively Israel's
access to sensitive US technology and US access to sensitive Israeli
technology. This agreement would result in tremendous mutual benefits. It would
improve dramatically our mutual military capabilities and avoid much of the
rancor that now accompanies issues of access to technology and end-use issues.
A second bilateral agreement would mandate a long term and mutually-funded
commitment to joint research and development (R&D) in defined areas,
primarily but not limited to military and security programs”.
That's the way the cookie crumbles, my friend, when Jews are
involved in any project. By hook or by crook they'll get from you as much as
you have to give away, and when you have nothing more to give, they'll want
your flesh and blood.
This is how the Jews dealt with the Palestinians, having on their
side the foolish and blubbering Americans. And now that the Palestinians have
nothing left to give, the Jewish relatives of Donald Trump want them to sign on
a piece of paper that says in essence, the land on which they lived for 7,000
years was never theirs. It was that of the Jews even if these characters did
not appear on Earth until 3,000 years later.
This said, the Jews want the Palestinians to just disappear, but the Palestinians said no; we're not going anywhere. And the question to ask now is this: Do the Americans have a fraction of the self-respect that the Palestinians have displayed, and tell the Jews to get lost? Or will the Americans give the pushover response and let themselves be raped by AIPAC and company for another $24 billion and all the hi-tech they developed in the past, and will develop in the future?
