Americans need to know precisely who is playing a critical part in shaping their nations policies and thats why Americans need to know Tamar Jacoby. You may have never heard of her, but shes influential in manipulating current attitudes and policies on the question of immigration.
Historically and traditionally, most Americans (especially self-styled conservatives who have long and rightly been critics of the immigration invasion) would be surprised to learn that an influential so-called conservative activistthe aforementioned Ms. Jacoby had been responsible for the behind-the-scenes dealmaking that led to the U.S. Senates adoption of a measure that will grant amnesty to at least 12 millionsome say as many as 20 millionillegal aliens now in this country.
In the old days, the conservatives were in the forefront of fighting untrammeled immigration. But times have changed, and now that a powerful new brand of globally oriented, internationally minded conservative thinking reigns supreme in the upper reaches of the Republican Party, it was Ms. Jacoby who was a major player in hammering out the vaunted compromise on immigration now being debated for a presumed final showdown in Congress.
One of the young lions of the hard-line pro-Israel neoconservative clique that dominates a wide array of public policy groups and think tanks in official Washingtonand which also remains firmly entrenched inside the power centers of the Bush administration, telling the president what to think and when to think itMs. Jacoby currently serves as a fixture at the Manhattan Institute, a neo-conservative plotting stable.
Ms. Jacoby has been a ubiquitous figure in the debate over immigration (and race relations) in the United States for some time now. Recently, Ms. Jacoby has put a lot of her effort into convincing grass-roots Republican Party activists, small business owners, farmers and ranchers that they need to work together (and with advocates for illegal immigrants) to forge a new immigration policy for the United States that promotes the grandly themed cause of globalization something that many informed folks believe is dangerous not only to American sovereignty but also injurious to the needs of American workers.
The Washington Post reported on May 21 in an article touting Ms. Jacoby as someone just so specialthat Ms. Jacoby has also tried to rally conservatives with arguments that immigrants are good for the economy and therefore good for the country. Ms. Jacoby is cited as having propounded the theme that A healthy economy, legality, assimilationthose are all things that conservatives believe in. Im not ceding those values to anyone.
Any time the very reliably liberal Washington Post finds a conservativesuch as Ms. Jacobypalatable, a traditional conservative in the old-line American sense should know something is wrong.
The truth is, though, that in many respects, Ms. Jacoby recalls the thinking of the late former President Ronald Reagan, an enthusiastic believer in rolling out the red carpet for immigration, and whoin 1986signed legislation granting amnesty to many illegal aliens already in place in the United States at the time. Thus, in that sense, Ms. Jacoby is very much a Reaganite, although many Reagan admirers today have forgotten that their hero had been involved in opening up Americas borders in such a substantial way, setting the stage for the immigration invasion that followed.
Boasting a remarkable resume rife with multiple ties to big names in the elite media, Ms. Jacoby is a former deputy editor of the op-ed page of The New York Times and a former senior editor of Newsweek. She was also married to the late Eric Breindelanother ex-Trotskyite- turned-neo-conservative who was an influential editor of billionaire Rupert Murdochs New York Post where Breindel made the paper a screaming and enthusiastic torch-bearer for international Zionism.
Like her late ex-husband, who was once dubbed the connection man because of his own deep-rooted and wide-ranging influence in Zionist circles, Ms. Jacoby is known for her ethnic and cultural sympathies for Israel.
Actually, it should be no surprise that Ms. Jacoby considering her ties to the Jewish lobbyshould be in the forefront of the so-called efforts to reform American immigration policy. As Dr. Kevin Mac- Donald, a professor at California State University at Long Beach, demonstrated in his landmark study Jewish Involvement in Influencing United States Immigration Policy, 1881-1965: A Historical Review American Jewish organizations and activists were key figures in the array of legislative maneuvers that eviscerated Americas theretofore restrictive immigration measures. MacDonalds paper, published in the journal, Population and Environment, 19, 295-355 in 1998, has been reprinted on MacDonalds web site at http://kevinmacdonald.net .
One would be remiss in failing to note that the very well-connected Ms. Jacoby is also a longtime member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the New York-based junior cousin of the London-based Royal Institute for International Affairs, which acts as the foreign policy arm of the international Rothschild banking dynasty, patrons of Israel and Zionist schemes.
The worldwide tentacles of the super capitalists in the Rothschild sphere of influence have long locked onto open borders, population transfers and the socalled globalization of the economy. The globalists can rely on their agents in placesuch as Ms. Jacoby to be peddling their propaganda line as Ms. Jacoby and her neo-conservative allies are doing today.
