Money Jews, Brain Jews, Politics

The Geography and Taxonomy of Political Manipulation

by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

 

On January 4th, Philip Weiss posted Chris Matthews's Coyness About Jewish Money in Politics Is Downright Irresponsible and Irritating to his blog Mondoweiss.

 

Phil states the following.

I'm a devoted Chris Matthews watcher because he's so street-smart and so knowledgeable about political history (and also a former Peace Corps volunteer). Last night he was the one guy on his show to understand the ravishing power of Obama's victory speech. He compared Obama to Roosevelt in '32. He also said that Obama's victory could send a chill thru Hillary's "donor-base," which Matthews said is in Manhattan and the west side of Los Angeles. These people want to back a winner; they may feel misled by the Clinton team. He went on to talk about Hillary's support from New Yorkers who have moved to Florida.

Florida, Hollywood, Manhattan. This is coy and irresponsible. Matthews never talks about Jews in politics directly. He talks about blacks, about Irish-Americans, not Jews. He obviously believes Jews are important in our politics--I'd note his endless and great riffs on neocons and their supporters--but as a guy who anatomizes the id of American political life, he owes it to his viewers to take on the Israel lobby headon. As it is, he confines himself to hinting, as he did last night. Or as he did five years ago when he asked one of his guests, with a big-eyed and virginal air: Why are political attitudes toward Israel in Europe so different from American attitudes? This is a political question, he knows the answer.

Matthews's coyness is evidence of the great problem here. A fearless guy is afraid to even discuss the lobby. Why doesn't he have Walt and Mearsheimer on air to talk about their ideas? I believe that Matthews knows he would pay a significant price for doing so, let alone talking about Jewish money in the Democratic party.

John Mearsheimer tells me that Matthews is hardly the only informed person who privately expresses support for his ideas while refusing to do so publicly. He says, "Many people -- both inside and outside the Beltway -- have told me and Steve [Walt] privately that they agree with our views on the lobby and its harmful influence on US foreign policy, but that they are afraid to say so publicly because they fear that the lobby will come after them and damage their careers."

Pathetic.

(P.S. A couple readers have wondered whether Mearsheimer was speaking directly of Matthews. No. He was speaking of the general class of Matthews-like sheeple, I mean people)

The covert manipulation of political process by wealthy Jews is not new.

 

There are still many questions about the relationship between Lloyd George and the Cousinhood (of the UK's wealthiest Jews) and whether Jewish money paid for the Balfour Declaration.

 

In Wilhelmian Germany, the 1873 financial collapse provided a peak at the relationship between the Jewish moneyed elite and the political elite when Bismarck with the aid of his Jewish banker Bleichröder prevented the bankruptcy of Prinz Wilhelm zu Putbus and many others of Bismarck's aristocratic political partners. In return for his efforts the Kaiser ennobled Bleichröder. (This particular type of exchange continues today as the Lord Levy Tony Blair cash-for-honors controversy demonstrated.)

 

This 1873 example had little connection to domestic or foreign policy, but German Jewish political money over the next five decades seems to have kept German securities and business practices law in a relatively immature state that permitted many shady practices that the progressive British and American political movements either had already eliminated or were in the process of eliminating.

 

There is a real need for some historical research in the role of Jewish (and in particular German Jewish and ethnic Ashkenazi) money in manipulating politics in the USA, the UK and in the German Empire.

 

Haim Saban's investment in German television is effectively a reassertion of the historical role of Jewish money in German politics.

 

There is also evidence of coordination between the "Newton Jews" of Massachusetts and the Central Council of Jews in Germany in attacking Cardinal Meisner and in working with the Axis of Good (Die Achse des Guten), in which Henryk Broder of Der Spiegel plays more or less the same role as Bill Kristol will play at the NY Times.

 

This new Axis based in Germany seems to work from translations of David Project or Daniel Pipes's press releases in its efforts to incite Islamophobia. (In the new discourse of German racial incitement, Matthias Küntzel plays the role of a sort of Daniel Pipes Robert Spencer hybrid.)

Newton Jews are probably more important than New York (Manhattan), LA (Hollywood), and Miami Jews in manipulating US politics because Jewish political power results from a collaboration of money Jews and brain Jews like Abigail Thernstrom.

 

Civil Rights for Some Americans  provides an example of the Newton Brain Jewish role. (I admit that Thernstrom lives in Lexington, but in mentality she is all Newton.) Abigail Thernstrom can expend oceans of ink in criticizing African American victimology but has no problem at all with Jewish victimologies or with Charles Jacobs and the David Project. Brain Jews like Abigail Thernstrom validate the prejudices of money Jews while they provide acceptable scholarly packaging for such ideas in order to indoctrinate non-Jews.

 

The elite Newton Jew combination of brains and money is strongly reminiscent of the pre-modern Eastern European ethnic Ashkenazi communal structure in which the mercantile class co-opted the rabbinical scholarly Jews by funding or by marriage in order to run the community with the qualification that now the main goals amount

• to maintaining Jewish elite status within the larger American society* and
• to controlling the American social political system or at least those parts needed to guarantee that the USA continues to maintain the existence of the State of Israel.

The taxonomy of elite Jews (sheyne yidn) in Eastern Europe identified four or five important groups.In the USA today, there are three important groupings:

• Money Jews (geltyidn) -- Bronfman, Adelson, Wexner, Spielberg et al., who are analogous to the balebotim (proprietors) and mercantile class Jews of traditional Jewish society
• Brain Jews (kolelyidn metaphorically) -- Dershowitz, Wisse, Abigail Thernstrom, Pipes, Kristol, Spielberg, Sarna, et al., who are analogous to the members of the rabbinical scholarly class of traditional Jewish society
• Professional or communal Jews (kahalyidn) -- Abraham Foxman, David Harris, Israel Singer, Nancy Kaufman, Joe Lieberman, et al., who are analogous to the members communal bureaucracy and functionaries of traditional Jewish society,

There is some overlap among the three classes of modern sheyne yidn, but all together they are extremely effective in controlling the organized Jewish community and in manipulating American society and politics.

 

Within this classification scheme ordinary Jews are proste yidn, and for the most part modern American proste yidn empower and hardly ever challenge the sheyne yidn in any significant way. (See How Anti-Iraq-War Jews Licensed Neoconservatism by Philip Weiss.)

 

Should proste yidn ever seriously challenge the sheyne yidn, the history of Hassidism indicates any such rebellion will not last long.

 

Hassidism was initially a reaction of proste yidn to the corrupt combination of economic and rabbinic (intellectual or scholarly) power, but the Hassidic dynasties were co-opted fairly quickly into the elite system by the mercantile class which eventually came to span the Hassidish Misnagdish (anti-Hassidic) divide.

 

Traditionally, people like Philip Weiss, Norman Finkelstein or Noam Chomsky are the mosrim or traitors, and they receive precisely the same treatment from the organized Jewish community that mosrim used to receive from the Kehillah (Jewish community) in the past.

 

Senator McCain, who slavishly intends to remake the ME according to Zionist plans, and his father, who covered up Israeli crimes in attacking the USS Liberty, are the modern shabbes goyim while any non-Jew that criticizes Israel or the organized Jewish community is an antisemit.

 

American Jews are trapped in false Manichaean world view that has become very dangerous to the world because of the power and influence that today's sheyne yidn wield in American politics.

Note

* The Jewish attack on Arab and Muslim American academics as well as the constant accusations of terror-financing against investment firms handling Gulf or Saudi money may result at least as much from the threat to Jewish dominance in ME studies, Jewish studies and the finance industry as from fear that American Jews might lose control of discourse about the ME and the conflict over Palestine.
