Anti-Semitism: One Jew's perspective about recent events (long read)

[Mc Mike]

46. You have a ton of good discussion topics in the o.p.

I'm catholic, and have been impressed for decades by the disproportionately large contribution to making things better in this country that come from people who are religiously observant or secular/culturally Jewish. In progressive social movements, politics, philosophy, academics, justice, journalism, people from that small 2.3% of the population fight to make things better for the whole country.

Re antisemitism, watching out for it as a key warning sign can be useful. If a social or political movement springs up and starts making a splash, says things that seem progressive or appears to do in-depth investigative reporting, but seems a bit murky and tough to pin down -- the key defining moment that lets me peg them, the moment that sets all the alarm bells off and cements that outfit as bad guys in my mind, is the moment that they say something anti-semitic. As soon as they say 'because the Jews' or 'it's the Jews', it's a key tip off. It instantly shows who they are.

Years ago, there were quite a few pro-Alex Jones posts on this site, he was disguising himself as a force 'against fascism'. But watching him blame activities coming out of the nazi bush family on the Rothschilds, blame 9/11 on Israel, blame attacks on synagogues in Mumbai on the Mossad, it was clear that he was a pro-nazi repug bircher. It took a while to become an accepted fact here that Jones was working for the bad guys, but the sub rosa antisemitism was a clear tip off, though some post-ers who I thought weren't right wing trolls were dazzled by the 'anti' bush stuff coming from Jones' trash outfits.

Groups like his always take high profile incidents that come from covert workings of our country's far right wasp financial power structure -- or come from the far righties in our intel that serve that power structure, or from underground nazi movements that are supported by the monied wasp power brokers or their rightie intel servants -- they always take those incidents for a spin and try to pin them on 'the Jews'. They always have a cartoon version of history and reality that they're willing to offer the public, pure propagandic psyops, but the second they say 'it's the Jews' they show they're working for the nazis who are the real villains. They excuse the actual bad guys who they work for, muddy the waters about the guilt of the wasp nazis, and go after a target that those nazis want to go after. Their true aim is to scapegoat the Jewish people, all of whom they're just itching to attack, anyway.

Regarding the '30 pieces of silver' slur, the key thing that tipped me off that Flynn was a nazi repug bircher (que some naysayer to tell me he's a 'registered Dem'. Don't bother.) was when he 'accidentally' retweeted an anti-semitic statement from some nazi zero called 'St Bibiana @30piecesofAG'.

7/24/16, Flynn anti-semitic tweet (notice how it's all about Flynn covering up for team dRumpf's russian buddies hacking our elections):

"Less than a week after giving an impassioned speech at the Republican National Convention, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is catching heat for sharing with his Twitter followers — as Donald Trump has in the past — an anti-Semitic message.
Flynn was responding Sunday to an assertion by Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, on CNN that Russia was behind the hack and release of tens of thousands of internal Democratic National Committee emails last week.
“The corrupt Democratic machine will do and say anything to get #NeverHillary into power. This is a new low,” he tweeted, sharing a link to a tweet from a user named Saint Bibiana (@30PiecesofAG_) who wrote “>Cnn implicated. ‘The USSR is to blame!’ … Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore.” "
