Donald Trump’s Anti-Semitism Problem—And Ours [an Oct Weekly Standard article]
Weekly Standard ^ | Oct 29 2018 | Charles J Sykes

Posted on 12/18/2018 3:51:42 PM PST by rintintin

Trumpism (if not Trump himself) has given oxygen to some of the ugliest impulses among us. Near the end of his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump laid out his theory of a vast globalist conspiracy. “Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors,” Trump said.

“It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities,” Trump continued. “We’ve seen this firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special-interest friends, and her donors.”

Time magazine called this his “Grand Unified Campaign Conspiracy Theory” that drew upon “conspiracy theories that have been nurtured for years by far-right-wing outlets like InfoWars, which has been a home for 9/11 “truthers,” and unfounded claims about the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum.”

Not to mention that POTUS’ son-in-law is Jewish, his daughter coverted to Judaism, his grandchildren are being raised in the Jewish faith, and he has several Jewish people working for him. Yeah, he’s just like Hitler!!!!

Clearly, there is little demand for a “conservative” magazine that parrots Democrat party propaganda.

So Trump speaks factually of Hillary Clinton's deal making with evil international bankers and then the NY Times and the Weekly Standard decide that the "evil international bankers" are Jews - and Trump is the anti-semite?!!?

Bye Weekly Standard.

Sykes draws a paycheck from NPR, putting him in the same category with Frum and Brooks.

For Wisconsin folks Vicki McKenna (WIBA, WISN) is 100x better.

What a bunch of crap. I take a lot of this hoopla personally cause my oldest son has half Jewish blood coursing through his veins. Jesus was and would assume that he still is Jewish and he’s my best friend.

What a terrible, stupid and historically ignorant article. “If you’re not guilty, don’t confess.” The author is looking for anti-semitism and finds it in his own brain.

Last I checked, the Rockefellers, prominent Bilderbergers, international financiers and architects of the New World Order, were ostensibly Protestants.

an anti-Semite used to mean a man who hated Jews. Now it means a man who is hated by Jews

Because damned Globalists exist and have for much of a century.

Walter Cronkite wasn’t Jewish and it isn’t an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory to point out their anti-sovereignty agenda. They are quite open about it.

Walter Cronkite talks about his love of Norman Cousins, one world government, and the World Federalist Association.

How anti-Semitic of it was Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocating our embassy there (leading other nations to follow suit)?

if this is the best Weekly Standard can publish, it is well indeed (and eminently understandable) why it is dying.

"Weekly Standard is dying. I'm not crying."

It's going out with a whimper and a whine.

90% of the BS spewed about antisemitism is nothing more than a way to silence criticism of the democrat or globalist agenda.

Don't forget, Trump just saying "America First" was branded an antisemitic "code word" or "dog whistle" during the campaign as soon as he said it.

Either the borders of the US and well being of Americans is the first priority of our own government, or it's not and slandering people who put America first by barfing out "antisemitic" is just a tactic used to intimidate dolts who cower before any halfwit who spews the word.

So a relatively small/handful of anti-semites with a Nazi-smell, are doing most of the “doxing” and anti-Semitic verbal/printed attacks on Jewish political, media, and social figures. SO WHAT?

This is nothing new if anyone paid attention to what the progentitors of the “new anti-Semitism” were doing during the 1970’s, etc.

Back in those days, when I started as a journalist/reporter, including being the investigative reporter for a major national Jewish paper, the ADL knew “who” and “what” as going on, and didn’t go off the fundraising “deep end” in shouting “The Nazis Are Coming, The Nazis Are Coming”.

I worked with a couple ADL regional/national leaders and they were intelligent, rational people who understood how a tiny minority of nutcases (some being very dangerous) were NOT representative of the American people.

I might be the only Jewish journalist you will read who ACTUALLY attended a Klan/Nazi rally (right out of the 1930’s with two floodlights, a podium, Nazi and Klan flags, Swastikas and Klan hoods (and that was just the two speakers. It was worth attending, esp. when the 6 ft 6 inch guy next to me, in all black leather and spikes or pimples, or both, yelled out “Kill the Jews” and then asked me what did I think of that.

I said, “Whatever you say”.

The State troopers were bored, half the audience was bored, two white kids who came in to see what was going on actually brought the house down when they looked at the Nazi and Klan speakers and said: “We hate N**ers but we hate you more”.

It was surreal but funny as hell. You couldn’t have made this up if you were Woody Allen.

The rise of black anti-Semitism came out of the Black Panther Movement, a neo-Marxist/criminal organization, which somewhat paralleled what Obama’s buddy Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam had been doing for decades.

And yes, I attended his Million Man March in DC in 1995. Still have my button from it, and I’m still looking for his “Mother Ship” to come down and save the world.

Or did I mishear what he said, which might have been the “Muther Shit” that would be coming down on America, the White Man, Elvis, and Walt Disney.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson had his Hymietown movment when he wasn’t kissing up to the Communist Party USA (his top aide was Jack O’Dell, a key CPUSA and probable Soviet asset, the same O’Dell who was Dr. King Jr’s private aide, along with admitted CPUSA/KGB operative Stanley Levinson - “Church Hearings, 1975”.

The “Rev” Al “Tawana Brawley Hoaxer/Free Buffet Chaser” Sharpton is also one of the new black anti-Semitism leaders despite his being at Obama’s White House (I’ll call it “The Black House” in honor of the comedian Dick Gregory who wanted to paint it that color back in 1969. I knew his aide).

Then there is the BLM (Black Lives Matter) or in my world, the Black Liver Movement, which is anti-Semitic too. The same for most leaders of the Million Women’s March (Sarsour being the new NaziFeminist Anti-Semitic, with Tamaka close behind her behind).

I’m just waiting for Maxine Waters to “do” a Rep. Cynthia McKinney anti-white, anti-Jewish rants one day. She’s got it in her and like in all authoritarians, “it is fighting to get out” (David Horowitz’s paraphrased slogan: “Inside a liberal is a totalitarian trying to get out”).

Re Charlottesville: 300 white neo-nazis, White supremacy racists, and a few “whatevers” were “promoted” by the liberal media as the latest invasion of America by Hitlerian Hordes.

Up against them was 3,000 mixed white/black/etc. liberals, communists, Marxists, socialists, progressives, black extremists, and pro-Palestinian activists (why they were there, not reported, is an interesting question).

The Left got what they wanted, a deadly confrontation with the Far Right, leaving 3 dead, many injured, and one stupid-assed white racist going to jail for murder.

Then one anti-Trump, anti-Semitic old white guy kills and wounds many at the Pittsburgh Synagogue and everyone left of Bill Kristol blames it on Trump.

No mention that the group that started the petition to keep Trump from visiting the shual in the aftermath of the shooting, Bend the Arc, has as its head of the Board of Directors, one Alexander Soros, the son of Nazi-helper/KAPO George Soros.

Hmm. And where was this reported (other than what I posted at FR? Perhaps there were a few mentions but I really doubt that the MSM would identified Alexander Soros as the head of this leftwing, anti-Trump, fake pro-Jewish group (I say “fake” because they went after Trump, who had nothing to do with the shooting instead of the sicko shooter.

This also happened when a white leftist shot-up the Republican baseball team in Alexandria, Va, severely wounding Rep. Steven Scalise. Very little blame on the shooter’s leftist hatred, but oblique blame on Trump. Imagine that! Nope, just SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for the Left.

One thing we have to openly admit is that America, today, has more nuts wandering around the streets, living in mama’s basement and closets, and associating with hate groups of all ideologies than ever before (except for the Klan period of the early 1900’s and Sen. Keagle Robert Byrd (D-W. Va).

Some are on the Far-Right and are very dangerous, but somehow they escape real surveillance until they strike, and by then it is too late to stop them.

Some on the Far-left Marxist fringe (and it is growing by leaps and bounds - i.e. ANTIFA, beyond anarchism now)are actively using violence to promote its views, to stop anyone from holding a peaceful demonstration about anything they hate, etc.

Look at how many law enforcement officers have been hurt by Antifa and its affiliates, including BLM subgroups, and pro-Hamas/Hezbollah/Fatah student groups (who throw stones at campus and local police officers, as well as attack pro-Israel students (Jewish and non-Jewish).

Louis Farrakhan is often in the news, with a poisonous smile that matches that of Hitler, Goerring, and Himmler (Eichmann never smiled - PS I met the Mossad agent who first caught him in Argentina. He said Eichmann was basically a “stone-cold psychopath”).

And the Democrat Party with its new anti-Semitic icons of Andrew Gillum, Ocasio-Cortex-Damaged nitwit, Andre Carson (and his Moslem buddy Keith Ellison, may a camel sit on his face), and the anti-Israel unofficial caucus, are gaining in strength not only in Congress but in the barrios and ghettoes and white coffee-klatches, and Hollywood, amongs other political places.

Anti-Semitism is a problem in America, and always has, but it ranks down the bottom of the “country” list, way down from France, England, Spain, Greece (some segments), Germany, Russia, a couple Latin American countries, and some places in Scandinavia due to the tremendous influx of unassimilated, under-educated Moslem “true believers” and Islamic Jihad terrorists.

I’m a Jew and America is the greatest country in the world for a “Jew” outside of Israel. I’m first and foremost an American, and will protect all faiths from attacks from the Far Left and Far Right. Those of any faith that is peaceful, tolerant, and pro-America is my friend. That is what being an American and a Jews means is a creed to live by. It is as old as Moses and new as the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights/Constitution.

Only the LEFT wants to destroy our America by pitting one group against the other, an old Lenin/Stalin tactic, which they have mastered so very well, be it from Lenin’s “What is to be Done”, Stalin’s various works on “Strategy” to Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” or Obama’s “I want to fundamentally change America” (into a Marxist shithole like Red China and the old Soviet Bloc/Cuba/Nicaragua/Venezuela.

If you fear the Far-Right, just change the Swastika into the Hammer & Sickle, and you have the new Democrat Party. When Joe Lieberman was literally thrown out of Congress by his own party, the spearpoint of Democrat anti-Semitism was first bloodied and it has been collecting blood every since (Ben Shapiro, Pam Geller, Mark Levin, etc).

Look to the Far Left and the Far Right. They are both our enemies but the Left is bigger, better funded, getting better armed and trained, destroying our schools, indoctrinating our child, destroying the English language, organized religion, the Boy Scouts, Football, and our country’s history.

Time to take a stand against both extremes, but remember, there are no Nazis in Congress, but their are Marxist Democrats and they are gaining more seats.

We most remember that “Freedom” is our goal, not Marxism.

The head of-the ADL - Gteenblatt — is Obama’s mole in that organization. Even Foxman was not that bad.
