Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: My Struggle I launched my study into Jewishness two decades ago. It began as a result of my reaction to the relentless attacks on dissident Jewish thinkers who didn’t fit with the ‘revolutionary agenda’ of the so-called Jewish ‘anti Zionist’ Left. I quickly grasped that it was actually the Jewish Left, the radicals and progressives, who displayed the most problematic traits associated with Zionism and Jewish identitarianism. I was perplexed: the same people who adhere to tribal politics and operate in racially segregated political cells preach universalism to others. I came to understand that nothing was transparent or obvious about Jewish culture and identitarianism, and that this was by design. I decided to untangle the Jewish enigma from a new perspective: instead of asking who or what Jews are, I asked what those who self-identify as Jews believe in, what precepts they adhere to. This question was the beginning of my struggle. By the time I published The Wandering Who? (2011), I realised that those who identify as Jews can be divided into three non-exclusive categories. 1. Those who follow Torah and Mitzvoth. 2. Those who identify with their Jewish ancestry. 3. Those who identify politically as Jews. In The Wandering Who I argued that while the first and the second categories are innocent, the third category is always contaminated by biological determinism. The third category is, in fact, racist to the core. While Jews aren’t necessarily a race, Jewish politics are, too often, racially oriented. This applies to both Zionists and the so called ‘anti’ Zionists. In my work there is no real distinction between Jewish Zionists and their Jewish dissenters. I have found them to be equally racist. There is more to draw from this categorical approach. It is apparent that not many self identified Jews fall exclusively into just one of the categories. Jewish identity is a multilayered construct. A West Bank settler, for instance, is usually a follower of Torah and Mitzvoth (cat’ 1), most often he/she speaks in the name of their Jewish ancestry and even claims lineage to Biblical figures (cat’ 2). And it goes without saying that a West Bank Jewish settler identifies and acts politically as a Jew (cat’ 3). Surprisingly, a JVP activist in Brooklyn isn’t all that different. He or she may not adhere to the Torah but likely identifies ethnically as a Jew (cat’ 2) and certainly acts politically as a Jew (cat’ 3). In The Wandering Who I argued that If Zionism is a racist ideology, then Jewish anti Zionists are at least as guilty of the same crime. In fact, in the Israeli Knesset, the third biggest party is a Palestinian party. You do the goy count: try to figure out how many Palestinians or Gentiles are on JVP’s board or amongst the British Jewish Voice for Labour (that doesn’t even accept gentiles as equal members). Needless to mention, this observation didn’t make me overwhelmingly popular amongst Zionists and the so called ‘anti.’ On the day of the publication of The Wandering Who, hell broke loose. What started as a struggle to seek the truth or at least some understanding, evolved into a bloody war. Oddly, no one bothered to find a mistake in my work or pointed to where my argument was lacking. No one claimed that the facts I based my argument on were inaccurate. Both Zionists and ‘anti’ have deployed every trick in their Hasbara book to try and silence me. I was called a racist, an anti-Semite and a Nazi despite the fact that my entire work is anti racist and in defiance of the Jewish racial argument. Since 2011 I have been subject to a cowardly smear campaign. But the war called upon me has actually helped me to refine my views on Jewish Identity Politics. I realised that Jewishness (yehudiyut) is a manifold of different forms of chosenness. Rabbinical Jews celebrate being God’s favorite children. Atheist Jews in practice, dumped the God who first chose them in order to validate their own superiority as godless people. Jewish Marxists are special for their belief in equality. Tikun Olam Jews believe that it is down to them to save the Goyim. After a few more years of this study I realised that Judaism is just one Jewish religion amongst many and it is not even the most popular Jewish religion. The great Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz figured out in the 1970s that while Jews uphold many religions and beliefs, all Jews believe in the Holocaust. It was this observation by Leibowitz that planted the notion of the Holocaust religion. When I wrote Being in Time, I realised that practically every precept can become a Jewish religion as long as it sustains a lucid concept of ‘chosenness’, self-love or auto validation. The French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan revealed that the ‘unconscious is the discourse of the Other;’ the fear that one’s deepest secrets could be unveiled and make it into the public discourse. In Lacanian terms, the Jewish unconscious is the fear that the ‘Goyim Know.’ Their torment is that people ‘out there’ will start to converse about what has taken place in front of their eyes: whether it is AIPAC dominance of US foreign policy or the destruction of the Labour Party or the constant threat to world peace imposed by Israel and its Lobby. Judging by their desperate attempts to silence me, I assume that I must be seen, at least in the eyes of my Jewish detractors, as a prime conduit for that ever expanding general awareness – after all I have been blowing the whistle for a while. Jews do not like those who leave the tribe. Jesus paid a price, as did Uriel da Costa and Spinoza. For Jews, the former Jew, or ex-Jew, is a threat most likely because many Jews may feel insecure about the ethical ground of their core beliefs, culture and ideology. Enlightened Jewish progressives are probably clever enough to admit to themselves that being born into chosenness is a problematic racially supremacist concept. Honest Jews may have gathered that being chosen by a God you yourself invented to favour you over the rest of humanity is actually funny. Orthodox Jews understand that large parts of their core beliefs are inconsistent with the western universal humanist tradition. Many Zionists know that their claims to a historic right to a land they have never been in are ridiculous. The Jewish strategy to handle their fears includes the suppression of elementary freedoms: Jewish Power as I define it, is the power to suppress criticism of Jewish power. I believe that it was I who coined the slogan, ‘We Are All Palestinians.’ In accordance with my definition of Jewish power, Palestinians are those who can’t even utter the name of their oppressor. While Israel calls itself the Jewish State and boasts about itself as Jewish, the Palestinians and their solidarity movement go out of their way to avoid the ‘J word.’ When British Jewish institutions including the chief rabbi and the British Jewish press called an open war on the British Labour and its leader no one in the Labour party dared utter the ‘J word’ except when asking for Jewish forgiveness. The condition of being Palestinian, of not being able to name one’s oppressor, is now a global symptom. This suppression of speech and thought has evolved into a tyranny of correctness. By the time I wrote Being in Time I understood that my struggle has implications that far exceed my initial intellectual objectives. What we face as western subjects is a massive battle between Athens and Jerusalem, where Athens is the birthplace of Western thought and Jerusalem is the city of revelation. Athens teaches us how to think, Jerusalem demands our obedience. The Western humanist values and intellectual assets we are now nostalgic for came from Athens: democracy, tolerance, freedom of speech, philosophy, Agora, science, ethics, poesis and the tragedy. Jerusalem gave us laws, mitzvoth, regimes of prescribed and proscribed behavior. Athens teaches us how to think ethically: in Jerusalem, ethics are replaced by the Ten Commandments; rules to obey. Jerusalem is not solely a ‘Jewish domain.’ The Jerusalemization of our universe is apparent in every corner of society: from pop culture, to the work place, to academia and beyond. It is the tyranny of correctness adopted by the new Left and it is at least as infectious within right identitarianism. My struggle as I now understand it, has evolved into a metaphysical quest. I battle to reinstate Athens within my soul. If you want to make the West great again, my struggle is your struggle. Defy Jerusalem, say no to authoritarianism, embrace Athens in your heart: learn to speak your mind, tell the truth as you see it and bear the consequences.

I find it intellectually dishonest to isolate the so-called Jews and infer they alone are the ruination of society. The ideology being employed against the west is Babylonian. The Babylonian Talmud is the instruction manual used by Rabbis to brainwash the so-called Jews. Truth is, the Fish Robe wearing papacy with all of its inherent pedophilia and homosexuality came from the same place, Babylon. Most of those claiming Jewishness are in actuality gentiles that converted to Judaism around 750 AD, are not Israelites or Hebrews, but rather bankers and murderers. Today we are adherents to Babylonian banking which in turn makes us members in very low standing within the banking system. We, by accepting the falsehoods included in our monetary system have forfeited our Constitution for a little convenience. The real problem is us. If we continue to have more faith in the Babylonian banking system that has us imprisoned on this planet than we do in God and ourselves ... we are pointing the finger at the lesser enemy. The greater enemy is ourselves ! http://ustvgo.tv/one-america-news-network/ "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

How about just say Fractional Reserve Banking. I think that would sums it up.
Indeed, the Federal Reserve Act was passed just before the Christmas holidays in 1913 when many of the members had already left for the holidays. The Federal Reserve was foisted on the people by corrupt politicians. If you check online you will find that since the FED was founded, the Dollar has lost from 92% to 98% depending on which site you look at. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

I need to learn more about Babylonian banking, among many other things.

Fractional reserve banking is just one component of the system that is destructive of America (and others). While the focus is generally on the damage done financially by the FED System, the focus should be on the circumvention of the Constitution. The Constitution calls for an honest money system where debts can actually be extinguished. The FED System only allows for debts to be discharged. The difference being that the debt is never paid off and the interest continues in perpetuity. But there is something worse that seems to go unnoticed. As mentioned above, the Constitution REQUIRES an honest money system. When America adopted the Federal Reserve System it by definition cast off the Constitution and as debtors became subject to Commercial Law. The honest money system was/is Constitutional, and a common law course of business under congress/gold and silver money, whereas the FED System is one that utilizes COMMERCIAL Paper and demands commercial law. Commercial law is being applied to acts of human beings/people in their daily business that is not actually commercial in nature, and in turn necessitates the issuance of permits, licenses, and taxation to discharge public debt and perform daily activities. The Social(ist) Security Number is the most obvious sign of enslavement but isn't by far the only sign. Each and every time that someone says "That's unconstitutional" (and they seem to say it more often each and every day) I would remind them that as long as Commercial Paper is the MEANS OF EXCHANGE, COMMERCIAL LAW rules the day. The Means of exchange dictates the law. http://ustvgo.tv/one-america-news-network/ "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. " The best thing about old age is that it doesn't last forever.
The gradual and incremental enslavement that has occurred over time since 1913 in America through the banking system actually makes the bank a government entity that invades and destroys privacy. No privacy = no freedom. http://ustvgo.tv/one-america-news-network/ "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. " The best thing about old age is that it doesn't last forever.
Absolutely correct on this count. We need and honest system of money. And since there has been no money after FDR abrogated the gold standard on June 5, 1933. (Britain did it in 1931.) ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
