Ron Unz on the influence of Jews on the West
If nearly all Jews for a thousand or two thousand years were taught to feel a seething hatred toward all non-Jews and also developed an enormous infrastructure of cultural dishonesty to mask that attitude, it is difficult to believe that such an unfortunate history has had absolutely no consequences for our present-day world, or that of the relatively recent past.
Furthermore, Jewish hostility toward non-Jews may often have served the interests of others, and helped determine the economic role that the group filled, especially in European countries, with this factor having been obscured by widespread ignorance of the underlying religious tenets. As most of us know from our history books, political rulers who harshly exploit their subjects sometimes restrict military power to a relatively small group of well-rewarded mercenaries, often of foreign origins so that they will have little sympathy for the population they harshly repress. I strongly suspect that some of the most common traditional economic niches of European Jews, such as tax-farming and the arrenda estate-management system of Eastern Europe, should be best understood in a similar light, with Jews being more likely to extract every last penny of value from the peasants they controlled for the benefit of their local king or lords, and their notorious antipathy for all non-Jews ensuring that such behavior was minimally tempered by any human sympathy. Thus, we should not be surprised that Jews first entered England in the train of William the Conqueror, in order to help him and his victorious Norman lords effectively exploit the subjugated Anglo-Saxon population they now ruled.
But states in which the vast majority of the population is oppressed and dominated by a thin slice of rulers and their mercenary enforcers tend to be much weaker and more brittle than those in which rulers and ruled share common interests, and I believe this is just as true for economic enforcers as for military ones. In many cases, lands reliant upon Jewish economic intermediaries, notably Poland, never successfully developed a native middle class, and often later fared quite poorly against their nationally-unified competitors.

The Arenda system is one of the least reported economic arrangements in European history while also being one of the most significant. It was significant in the harm it did to Eastern European serfs and others and also in how it shaped Jewish group behavior. Both factors are still echoing down the halls of history to today. ABN
The Jewish Question
…The Jewish Question, simply explained, consists of two enquiries: Do Jews possess an excessive influence in their host societies and, if so, what should be done about it? Most commentaries on the subject have focussed on the first question, leading the scholar John Klier to remark on one occasion that the assessment and critique of Jewish influence has throughout history been predominantly an intellectual pursuit. However, in pushing back against the taboo, even via the modest pursuit of research and the dissemination of one’s findings, one engages in activism of a sort. Indeed, one cannot expect to formulate a response to a problem if one cannot first convince others that a problem exists. The essence of the Jewish Question is therefore the argument that Jews do enjoy an excessive influence in their host societies, and that this excessive influence, for a large number of reasons, is highly problematic for those societies. These problems straddle all spheres of society — the cultural, the economic, and the political.

UPDATE: A rebuttal or next step in the argument linked above.
“Do Jews possess an excessive influence in their host societies”
This question is in fact a red herring that obfuscates the real issue.
Whether or not Jews have excessive influence is actually not even a question since the answer is obviously yes. But because the answer is so obviously yes debating it drives sane gentiles crazy and delights Jews. The Jews will counter that they have worked hard to attain their influence. Even non-Jews will come to their defense and say it’s their high IQ. Jews will whine about antisemitism being at the root of people’s objection to their influence. The debate always goes nowhere. Leaving disenfranchised gentiles pulling out their hairs. In the end we’re always back to square one.
That is because the basic question is wrong.
You see the problem is not whether Jews have excessive influence. The problem is what they DO with their influence.
Jewish influence drives our nations into wars. Jewish influence floods our countries with third world “refugees.” Jewish influence brings transexuals into our elementary schools to teach our children about anal sex. Jewish influence has turned our currency into a massive debt slavery system. Jewish influence has degraded our arts and literature. Jewish influence gave us the Frankfurt School and Murder Incorporated. Should I mention 911 and the death of JFK.
But we never even get to discuss any of these issues because to do so is “antisemitic.” So we’re stuck on quibbling about whether or not they have influence.
It’s not that Jews have influence. It is what they DO with that influence that has caused problems for these last 2000 years. And that’s what we need to talk to them about.

I pretty much agree with the main thrust of this comment. No matter who is in control—and there will always be someone—they must at least do a good job. They must at least allow the people they govern to thrive. A thriving Western civilization can afford a selfish elite, even benefit from it, if they at least ensure that the society that supports them is healthy and well-run. This is not the case today and for decades in USA, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Instead, these regions are dying due to severe parasitic infestation. One parasite supports another, and thus the parasitic strategy overwhelms an entire civilization. ABN

Companies slashing diversity budgets
Pro-Black Lives Matter corporate giants Google and Meta joined a growing list of virtue-signaling companies that slashed their “diversity” budgets in 2023 amid a rough year for the tech industry.
“Some companies have laid off DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] staffers and leaders of diverse employee resource groups, downsized learning and development programs and cut budgets for external DEI groups by as much as 90 percent in 2023,” CNBC reported Friday.
The DEI cuts are a laughable reversal of the virtue-signaling bluster some companies trumpeted in the wake of the BLM riots following the May 2020 death of George Floyd.
Many “woke” corporations bent the knee to race-hustling grifters by donating money to Black Lives Matter and investing millions to expand so-called “diversity” programs to hire more black workers.
“By mid-2023, DEI-related job postings had declined 44% from the same time a year prior, according to data provided by job site Indeed,” CNBC reported. “That’s a sharp contrast with the period from 2020 to 2021, when those postings expanded nearly 30%.”

Sanctions against Russia were DESIGNED to bring on DIGITAL DOLLAR
…The USA led “western” sanctions against Russian interests were not designed to keep Russia isolated financially, they were designed to keep USA and Western banking customers walled in. The end goal? To create a dollar based CBDC for western finance.
In order to accomplish that goal, WESTERN govt/banking needs full control. Any alternative (BRICS+ currency/trade) is a threat.
The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA, not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, creates the control gate that leads to a “dollar based” digital currency.
In essence, the Ukraine war response justified a system that creates a digital dollar.
The loss in “western banking” jobs, the downsizing within the banking system, is a feature – not a flaw.

How Houthi’s are stopping shipping to Israel
From the minute after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the UK Maritime Trade Organisation (UKMT) learned that the oil tanker MV Chem Pluto had been hit by an exploding drone in the Indian Ocean 1,600 kilometres east of the Red Sea and Yemen coast (lead image, left), they also knew why. Through a joint venture between a Japanese and a Singapore holding company operating through a Dutch management cutout, the vessel is owned by Idan Ofer, an Israeli shipping magnate (lead image, right).
The Chem Pluto strike is the second by a drone against one of Ofer’s vessels in the Indian Ocean. The first strike was on November 24, when the container carrier CMA CGM Symi was targeted in the northeastern sector of the Indian Ocean. The Symi is owned by Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping in Singapore.
On December 18, drone strikes were reported by CENTCOM against the Swan Atlantic oil tanker and the bulker MV Clara. The first vessel is owned by a Norwegian company but management, with hidden equity, belongs to the Israeli Zodiac group, owned by Idan Ofer’s brother, Eyal Ofer. The second vessel, the Clara, is owned and managed by a German company, Johann MK Blumenthal; no Israeli trace has been found to date, but the Houthis have yet to make a mistake in spotting and hitting Israeli ships.

comment on the article above:
thank you for this very informative article, this seems to confirm my suspicion that the iranians were implying that algeria would become a proxy in attacking the pinch point of gibraltar. if they do, don’t be surprised if they also declare war on israel as yemen has. this appears to be a gradated response, designed to slowly inflict as much pain as possible, using proxies in order to avoid direct confrontation between iran and israel as long as possible. the farther the israelis go the greater the response from the axis of resistance. soleimani in his unappreciated genius realize the true motivations of the occupation, plain and simply money. yes, it’s all about the benjamins. israelis will not put up with living in a warzone and fighting an enemy that has similar weapons to what they have, they fear a fair fight, while those opposing them would gladly give their lives. from what i’ve read almost half a million israelis have already left, get ready for exodus 2.0.
all of this aligns with my suspicion that we are watching the grand plan of gen. soleimani play out before us. bds with cruise missiles, isolating israel and destroying their economy in the process. if they continue their murderous genocide of the palestinians, they will be destroyed economically, their siege of gaza will be met with an economic siege. the ultimate goal of his plan is not just freeing palestine but driving the u.s. out of the middle east completely.
this is all part of ww3, which is largely an economic war, started by the zioneocons when they launched their covid bioweapon on an unsuspecting world, this is what the west is unable to grasp, because to a hammerheaded idiot everything is a nail. the west is being crushed in this war, both militarily and economically and both israeli and it’s zato golems are being into a trap to be bled to death. the only remaining question is whether that death will be literal or figurative.

More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is not raised in the U.S., yet it’s labeled ‘Product of the USA,’ thanks to a loophole in the labeling law
link
- More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is not raised in the U.S., yet it’s labeled “Product of the USA.” As a result of a loophole in the labeling law, American farmers who produce grass-fed beef are forced to compete against far less expensive imported grass-fed beef.
- In 2017, raising grass-fed beef in Australia cost 59 cents per pound, whereas the cost per pound in the U.S. was $1.55 for large producers and as much as $4.26 per pound for a small farm.
- One of the reasons for this price discrepancy is the fact that countries like Australia and New Zealand have relatively temperate weather year-round. As a result, their cows can graze on pasture throughout the year, whereas American farmers must purchase feed during the winter.
- There’s a globally coordinated assault on agriculture. The G20, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) are all pushing for radical reductions in farming to reach “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions.
- The “sustainability” that globalists are calling for is not the sustainability of the human population. What they’re referring to is the sustainable growth of a new global economic system based on the allocation of finite resources to the technocratic “rulers.” The rest of us will “own nothing,” because they intend to strip us of our ownership rights. It’s crucial that people understand that the “sustainability” solutions currently offered will result in the eradication of a large portion of humanity.
