The Anti-Semite on Your TV
Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s favorite foreign policy expert has a history of echoing anti-Jewish ideas.
. What they may not know is that he’s also a longtime purveyor of anti-Semitic ideas.
“We have a huge problem with a class of so-called elites, the people who are wealthy, very wealthy in many cases and they are, as the Russians used to call certain individuals many, many years ago, rootless cosmopolitans,” he told the Serbian American Voters Alliance in an October 2021 speech uncovered by Matt Gertz at MediaMatters.
For those understandably unfamiliar with this terminology, “rootless cosmopolitans” is an anti-Semitic euphemism for Jews that was popularized under Stalin in the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler also repeatedly referred to Jews as disloyal cosmopolitans, lamenting in his manifesto Mein Kampf that “it is no longer princes or their courtesans who contend and bargain about state frontiers, but the inexorable cosmopolitan Jew who is fighting for his own dominion over the nations.” In other words, there is exactly one type of person who uses this sort of language in everyday conversation.
In case his audience missed the point, though, Macgregor added: “They live above all of this, they have no connection to the country. There is nothing there that holds them in place, and they are largely responsible, in my judgment, for the condition that we are in today.”

Vlahos is a name I haven’t seen in years. He was a Navy War College staff instructor back in the 1970’s and wrote an interesting book titled ‘The Blue Sword’ about war gaming at the NWC in the 1923-1939 period.

Good to see straight, honest talk and analysis, more is coming out each day. I watched all three parts, the part most disgusting is the US has hired out 250 media companies to push the corrupted western Ukie winning narrative, all on taxpayers dime.
MacGregor, Ritter, Mercouris and Christofour independent assessments all cross check with non western media. Much like Biden’s Covid vax scam, the truth finally prevails- and all those sucked in suddenly become “ quiet “, and have a heavy burden to carry for buying into our corrupted governments lies.
That said, “ opinions “ are just that. I prefer to look at the facts, Ukraine is now a western welfare state,mired in unpayable debt, sitting in 60 percent darkness and rolling blackouts, currency destroyed, historic inflation, record unemployment, exports and manufacturing destroyed, population fleeing their cities, military crippled and under supplied, infrastructure destroyed.
The facts show a crippled, beggar nation…..yet somehow the war cheerleaders think that is winning, simply unbelievable.
Pathetic, having to post and push your own articles.
Right out the gate the “antisemite” card, or antisemite card by proxy, is played on this thread. Sometimes real antisemitism occurs, but I don’t believe bringing up antisemitism was necessary here concerning MacGregor or anything else.
If I feel someone bringing up antisemitism is unwarranted, I am often reminded of Dr. Hajo Meyer’s words:
“An anti-Semite used to be a person who disliked Jews. Now it is a person who Jews dislike” ~ Dr. Hajo Meyer, Jewish, Auschwitz survivor
And there are other quotes similar to this I could post here but you all understand.
Looks like an attempt at thread derailment took place right at the beginning.
