Goodbye, America! (Part 1)

Kevin MacDonald’s review of Wilhelm Marr’s pamphlet, Der Sieg des Judenthums über das Germanenthum, 1879, (“The Victory of Judaism over Germanism”), is a fascinating compendium of pessimistic quotations in which German political pundit Marr concludes gloomily that there was no hope left for Germany. It was finished — yes, as early as the 1870s. The Jews, he lamented, were simply too formidable a foe. Marr’s pamphlet ends with these chilling words:
Let us accept the inescapable, since we cannot change it. Its name is: FINIS GERMANIAE — the end of Germany!
I confess I had no idea the outlook was so bleak in Germany as early as 1879. (Marr’s pamphlet has recently been translated into English and is now available in pdf format). I had been under the false impression that the notion of Jewish domination came much later — after the publication of the Protocols (1903) and the Russian Revolution (1917).
We have seen it all happen though. Germany was brought to its knees, exactly as Marr predicted. Its cadaver now lies rotting.
Exactly a year ago, the state of Israel demanded from Germany a further 1 billion Euros ($1.4 billion) in Holocaust reparations for its endlessly traumatized Jewish survivors. Sixty-five years after World War II, the grim extortion racket continues unabated.
The subject that interests me — and which should be of vital importance to Americans undergoing an almost identical trauma at the hands of organized Jewry today — is the question: to what extent was Germany in the days before Hitler’s rise to power a dress rehearsal for what we are witnessing in America right now? What are the parallels? Is it time to write America’s obituary?
Is it time to say, FINIS AMERICAE — the end of America?
Here is a pertinent, relatively modern quotation which will serve as a useful coda to the doomladen citations from Marr. Read it carefully. It will not only hammer home the points made by Marr several decades earlier, it will also provide the reader with a sharp reminder of the parallel situation in which America finds itself today.
With one significant difference: America is in a far worse condition.
Wilhelm Marr (1819–1904) and his controversial pamphlet of 1879, predicting the end of Germany — sixty-six years before Germany’s catastrophic defeat in World War II in 1945.
It was the Jews with their international affiliations and their hereditary flair for finance who were best able to seize such opportunities…They did so with such effect that, even in November 1938, after five years of anti-Semitic legislation and persecution, they still owned, according to the Times correspondent in Berlin, something like a third of the real property in the Reich [my emphasis]. Most of it came into their hands during the inflation… But to those who had lost their all, this bewildering transfer seemed a monstrous injustice. After prolonged sufferings they had now been deprived of their last possessions. They saw them pass into the hands of strangers, many of whom had not shared their sacrifices and who cared little or nothing for their national standards and traditions…
The Jews obtained a wonderful ascendancy in politics, business and the learned professions [in spite of constituting] less than one percent of the population [my emphasis]… The banks, including the Reichsbank and the big private banks, were practically controlled by them. So were the publishing trade, the cinema, the theatres and a large part of the press — all the normal means, in fact, by which public opinion in a civilized country is formed… The largest newspaper combine in the country with a daily circulation of four millions was a Jewish monopoly…
Every year it became harder and harder for a gentile to gain or keep a foothold in any privileged occupation [my emphasis]. … At this time it was not the ‘Aryans’ who exercised racial discrimination. It was a discrimination that operated without violence. It was exercised by a minority against a majority. There was no persecution, only elimination. … It was the contrast between the wealth enjoyed — and lavishly displayed — by aliens of cosmopolitan tastes, and the poverty and misery of native Germans, that has made anti-Semitism so dangerous and ugly a force in the new Europe. Beggars on horseback are seldom popular, least of all with those whom they have just thrown out of the saddle. Sir Arthur Bryant, Unfinished Victory (1940) (slightly edited for brevity)
Throughout history, Christianity, and especially the Catholic Church, has been a countervailing force against organized Jewry — against a “stiff-necked” people who, while claiming spotless innocence and invariably framing their detractors as irrational and pathological haters, have nevertheless been expelled from no fewer than 109 locations since the year AD250.
Why has contemporary Christianity failed so abysmally to stand up to the encroachments of organized Jewry and its influence?
The Christian Zionists and organized Jewry: fools conned by knaves
Despite its history as the only Western institution that has been able at times to resist Jewish power, the Catholic Church, of which I am a hopelessly dysfunctional practising member, has proved to be an acute disappointment. It has been thoroughly subverted from within and without. It offers neither guidance nor leadership. So forget the Catholics—a spent force.
One is also forced to conclude that there is little hope that American Protestants could come to the rescue. Their infatuated legions — particularly the 60 million Christian Zionists who constitute the most influential group among them — are in many ways as rabid as the fanatical Jews who seem to have infected them with their zealotry, egging them on to find solace in eschatological ecstasies and millenarian mumbojumbo.
Life is indeed so empty and sterile for these wretched lumpengoyim that the only thing that excites their sluggish sensitivities is the prospect of Armageddon and the thought of universal and catastrophic death — the quicker the better.
Whipped into a frenzy of religious fervor by the Grahams and the Robertsons, the Falwells and the Hagees, the Lindseys and the La Hayes, these Christian Zionists have become imitation Jews almost indistinguishable from Vladimir Jabotinski and Baruch Goldstein. They believe in a Greater Israel — entailing further conquests of Arab Land — and in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. They have “adopted” illegal settlements and they directly finance the bulldozing of Palestinian homes, the uprooting of olive trees, and the daily oppression of the rightful owners of the Holy Land. They pray every Sunday in their vast soulless churches for the destruction of Iran. And if push came to shove, they would gladly give their blessings to genocide — and call it “the will of God.”
John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel: “Fifty million evangelical Christians unite with five million American Jews, standing together on behalf of Israel....The man or nation that lifts a voice or hand against Israel invites the wrath of God.”
There are now 80,000 fundamentalist pastors and clergy preaching their message of madness to these ill-educated Christian masses — in many ways as gullible and gormless as medieval peasants. The pernicious views of their “pastors” are disseminated by 1000 local Christian radio stations as well as 100 Christian TV stations. See here.
Consider the unimaginable war crimes committed by the state of Israel just over a year ago in Gaza. The world saw it happen. Judge Goldstone saw it happen. His meticulously documented report makes it abundantly clear that Israel is a criminal nation and that its politicians and generals are steeped in criminality.
Yet here is Grace Halsell: “Every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us.”
When I first read this, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Was this woman crazy? Where had she been since 1948? Hadn’t she heard of the Goldstone Report? Did she have no inkling of Israeli war crimes: of Deir Yassin (1948), the Lavon affair (1954), the Sabra and Shatila war crimes (1982), Qana (17 villages wiped out 1996), the Jenin massacre (2002), the Lebanon and Egyptian terrorist attacks and the atrocities in Iraq from 1990 to the present time, the horrific Gaza invasion of 2009? Had she never heard of the King David Hotel bombing of the British? Had she never heard of the Hebron Mosque massacre by Baruch Goldstein? Had she never heard of the sneak attack on the USS Liberty? Had she never heard of American state secrets sold to the Soviets and Chinese? Had she never heard of white phosphorus and cluster bombs and DIME weapons that slice babies’ bodies in half?
I need not have worried.
Halsell, I was relieved to learn, was being ironic. She opposed Zionism as much as I did — as any sane and reasonable person would.
Why Contemporary America is far worse off than pre-National Socialist Germany
I have been accused of needless defeatism by some of my anti-Zionist colleagues. America is far from dead, they assure me. It’s alive and kicking. It’s just a matter of time before good patriotic Americans rise from their slumber, reclaim lost ground, and take back their country.
I wish I could feel as sanguine about America’s prospects as these optimists do.
I should like to convince you that the problems facing Germany were far less formidable than the problems facing any potential American rescuer today.
One of the serious negative factors facing America today — a problem the Germans never had — is the existence of vast numbers of Christian Zionists in their midst.
Germany of course had to cope with organized Jewry, a group working from within to undermine the foundations of German society. But one scourge Germany did not have, and which America has, is this scourge of a non-Jewish enemy within: the 60 million Christian Zionists acting in cahoots with organized Jewry to oppose the interests of their own people.
America’s Christian Zionists, it would seem, are their own worst enemy — blithely planning their own demise without knowing it.
So here is Problem Number One for those of you who dream that America could once again become the self-conscious ethnic possession of people of European ancestry: What are you going to do with these 60 million White American renegades who have joined forces with the Enemy? Who are as Jewish as Ariel Sharon or Abe Foxman. Who are hand in glove with AIPAC. Who think ADL means ‘Advanced Divine Leadership’.
How are you going to fit these thoroughly Judaized allies of organized Jewry into your White Homeland?
It cannot be done. So you have a big problem.
Israel and its Jewish-American Double Agents
Another big problem America needs to solve that Germany did not have to cope with is the state of Israel and its powerful lobby in America. Germany did not have Israel hanging round its neck like an albatross. The Germans were not induced to fight wars on behalf of a foreign country. They didn’t invade other countries in order to make the world safe for Israel.
“Since September 11, 2001, the Israeli state, Zionists inside the US government, and the entire leadership of the Major American Jewish Organizations, have been entirely devoted to pushing the US into Middle East wars on behalf of Israel.” — James Petras, see here.
Almost 5,000 U.S. military personnel have now been sacrificed for Israel in Iraq. These are the “officially acknowledged” figures. The real figures have been put at between 50,000 and 70,000 and are now probably higher. (See here and here.) The number of seriously injured soldiers are perhaps ten times the number of the dead. Meanwhile, the number of Iraqis slaughtered amount to 1.3 million, with four times as many driven into neighboring countries as homeless refugees. The cost to the American taxpayer is (to date) $980 billion, with a total cost of $3 trillion projected if and when the mindless carnage is ever complete. See here.
I think that even the enemies of Zionism before 1948 failed to appreciate the extent to which organized Jewry would maximize its power once it had acquired its own headquarters and homeland — complete with its own military arsenal and espionage facilities. Archimedes provides a hint in his famous quote on the lever, often loosely translated as: “Give me a place to stand and I will move the world.” The Jews now have “a place to stand” — and they certainly are “moving the world.”
The Germans, in addition, did not have a powerful Jewish Lobby holding the entire German government to ransom. German politicians, unlike American ones, were not on Israel’s payroll via campaign contributions from AIPAC and its fabulously rich Jewish supporters. These political donations or “reward money” are bribes in all but name.
Apart from the carrot, there is of course the stick, wielded to good effect by organized Jewry against all American critics of Israel. “Their willing use of force, money and media slander,” James Petras points out, “intimidates any and all critics, including dissident politicians, media, journalists and professors.”
In pre-WW2 Germany, the Mossad did not exist. No Mossad was around to monitor the Internet activities of German politicians to see what financial or sexual shenanigans they were up to. Today, in America, it is reasonable to assume that there is constant surveillance of American politicians by Mossad — if not by AIPAC, the ADL, and their various affiliates. Indeed, the ADL famously settled a spy case that yielded documents with 10,000 names and 600 organizations thought to be insufficiently slavish toward Israel. Legal filings from the case showed that an ADL agent had a floor plan and a key for the office of Alex Odeh, a murdered Arab American leader.
It follows that the potential for blackmailing American politicians (by Israel’s agents) must today be enormous. Sibel Edmonds asks rhetorically, “Are American politicians being blackmailed? Is grass green?” Her answer: “Of course the blackmail scenario is possible; in fact, highly possible.”
Seven crucial points need to be hammered home. They show that America is now in a critical situation from which nothing can save it. Nothing except a military coup or violent revolution.
1. Germany did not have to cope with 60 million Christians Zionists collaborating with the goals of organized Jewry; America does.
2. Germany did not have the state of Israel to finance, nor did it have to fight Israel’s wars; America does.
3. Germany’s population of Jews was relatively small compared to America’s: less than 1% of 80 million (roughly 522,000 Jews in 1933) compared to contemporary America’s 2% + of 309 million (over 6 million Jews).
4. Since Israel had yet to be founded, Germany did not have the problem of dual citizens whose primary allegiance is to a foreign country.
5. Although there were Jewish activist organizations in Weimar Germany, they had not achieved the power and influence of the Jewish ethnic infrastructure in the US. Organizations like AIPAC, the ADL, the SPLC, the American Jewish Committee, and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations (to name a few) are lavishly funded and influential in all areas of American life, including law enforcement, foreign policy, and all things multicultural.
6. Jews have also erected the Holocaust Industry as a powerful guilt machine for White Americans. Traditional American culture has been substantially replaced by the culture of the Holocaust and various other non-White victimhoods, endlessly played out in the movies, television shows, and in the schools, all the way from kindergarten through the university.
7. Above all, Germany was never threatened with multiculturalism. Promoting multiculturalism has been the focus not only of various influential Jewish intellectual movements, it has also been the most important goal of the organized Jewish community, especially since World War II. Multiculturalism is a deadly weapon against Western civilization — a WMD of truly devastating lethality that in the long run will destroy Christianity, traditional moral values, and traditional nationalist cultures in North America, Europe, and Australia. It will also result in the dispossession and disempowerment of the White race.
Conclusion: the situation facing America is a grim one. An epidemic of escalating severity threatens us all. In the course of time, this epidemic of evil is likely to infect Eurasia and spread to other parts of the world.
The future looks unimaginably bleak.
End of Part I. Go to Part II. Goodbye, America! (Part 2)

In the near future, America will have a White minority.
We, the nominally Christian masses of European ancestry, will be surrounded by a sea of strange faces. All these polyglot multitudes, who have been teleported into America — and mainly because of Jewish influence against the will of its White majority — are now pitted against us. They are likely to be our new enemies. They have been shoehorned into America for one purpose only: to make life tough for us. They compete with us for vanishing jobs and diminishing resources, and inevitably they will obtain political power that they will use against us.
The Multicultural Menagerie
One of the many "benefits" of multiculturalism is that loyalty issues come to the fore. Exhibit A for this is the notorious Jonathan Pollard spy case.
Jonathan Pollard, one in a long line of Jewish American spies. (See here). The total number of Jewish spies convicted or expelled from the US exceeds the number of spies from all other ethnic groups. As Jews make up only 2% of the American population and blacks 14%, there ought to be seven times as many black spies. In fact, there are none.
Requests for Pollard’s release from Jewish sources have been endless — Yitzhak Rabin (1995), Benjamin Netanyahu (2002), Ehud Olmert (2008). But Pollard remains safely behind bars, as if to show us that the old dog still wags its tail. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz expresses his anger thus: “As an American and as a Jew, I hereby express my outrage at Jonathan Pollard’s sentence of life imprisonment for the heinous crime he flagrantly committed.”
Sorry, that’s a misquote! It should be: “...for the crime to which he pleads guilty.” (Pleading guilty to a crime, in Dershowitz’s bizarre Alice-in-Wonderland world, is clearly tantamount to being innocent or at least getting a soft sentence.)
It gives me no pleasure to point out that Israel’s present Prime Minister, the thuggish ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu, resorted to moral blackmail in 1998 at the Wye River Conference in order to secure Pollard’s release. “If we signed an agreement with Arafat, I expected a pardon for Pollard,” he said. Quid pro quo, you see. If you give us Pollard, we’ll give you the promise of peace.
“Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States it can dry up and blow away,” the same Netanyahu reportedly told Pollard, upon exiting Pollard’s prison cell after a friendly social call in 2002. This quote, which is cited all over the Internet, is the sort of thing that, even if inaccurate, reflects the reality that Israel and its Lobby in the US are exploiting American blood and treasure on behalf of Israel.
This is the man who refuses to desist from his ongoing dispossession of Palestine, while at the same time expecting American largesse in exchange for his intransigence — and more American lives, needless to say, lost in foreign wars fought for Israel.
It’s only in America, it seems, that the piper seems unable to call the tune. Another quote:
Netanyahu: “Watch it, boy, don’t dare speak to me like that! WE JEWS CONTROL AMERICA! Ever heard of the Samson Option?”
Okay, he didn’t say that! But it’s what he could have said in a parallel universe. It's what he might well have said in this universe, if he was speaking his real thoughts.
Even American Vice-Presidents, Zionist lackeys though they be, visit Israel only to get spat upon. How do they react to their ritual humiliation at the hands of their Jewish masters? As the spit lands on their faces, they ask if it’s raining.
“It’s good to be home!” VP Joe Biden gushes, arriving in Israel on an official visit. “The U.S. has no better friend than Israel! Progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the United States and Israel!”
Stick a tail on this guy and he’d win first prize in a poodle competition.
As if to emphasize the point of Israeli muscularity, Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld invokes the dreaded Samson option."We possess several hundred atomic warheads,” he reminds us ominously, “and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force."
Europe, watch out.
Meanwhile, in America, the Jews have never had it so good. In 2009, 35% of the richest men in America were Jews. This 2% of the population who are the wealthiest group in America and now comprise 25% of Ivy League undergraduates and 40% of Harvard alumni, are indeed voluble in their never-ending complaints about their victimhood. America’s 400 richest men, according to a report in the New York Times (March 23, 2009), own as much as 22% of the nation’s total wealth, and around 140 of these multibillionaires are Jews.
“Ah, how sweet it is to be Jewish at the end of this 20th century,” Alain Finkielkraut wrote in Le Monde in 1998. “We are no longer history’s accused, but its darlings. The spirit of the times loves, honors, and defends us, watches over our interests; it even needs our imprimatur. Journalists draw up ruthless indictments against the Nazis and their modern collaborators. Churches repent. States do penance.”
White America smiling ... but not for long
You are this young couple. Here’s what happens to you. This is your fate:
You are kidnapped by four Blacks, three men and a woman, while out on a date. For the next twenty-four hours, you are subjected to systematic torture. Both of you are gang-raped. You, the young woman, are forced to watch your boyfriend being sodomized by three black men, one after the other. What does the black woman do? She stands in the background, watching, a kitchen knife in her hand, waiting to cut off your sweetheart’s penis. This happens. Maybe they all take turns to saw off your darling’s penis. It’s your turn now, White Lady. Let’s see your tits, Bitch! Hey man, pass me that knife! Yes, White Lady, it’s TIME FOR YOUR BREASTS TO BE CUT OFF! They rape you first. They make you drink cleaning fluid. And then they hack off your breasts. Finally, they strangle you to death.
No point going on. Both bodies are found dumped on waste ground later, riddled with bullets.
This happened in January, 2007, near Knoxville, Tennessee, to Christopher Newsom (23) and his girlfriend Channon Christian (21) This whole grisly affair of Black-on-White violence was carefully covered up by the mainstream media. Who owns the media? Don’t even ask!
“The details of the crimes were considered so horrific,” we are told, “that the authorities would not release accounts to the news media for fear of putting Blacks in a bad light and upsetting race relations. The facts emerged only when some enterprising reporters checked documents filed in federal court.”
This case is exceptional only for its psychopathic brutality. Thousands of other cases occur in which Black-on-White rapes without murder feature, as well as countless cases of unprovoked beatings and verbal abuse of Whites.
Sarah Kreager, 26, suffered broken facial bones and other injuries after she was punched, kicked and dragged off a bus one Tuesday afternoon in January, 2009, by nine black students. Her boyfriend was also severely beaten up. There had been no provocation.
Apart from perfunctory local coverage with no mention of race, these crimes, almost without exception, go unreported by the media. (See here).
These are grounds for despair. Our new elites are of course behind this — we all know that now — deliberately fomenting racial hatred, while portraying White Americans as the underlying cause of that hatred.
Here’s an eerie picture of a future dystopia, the unimaginably grim America that awaits us:
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate! — Abandon hope, all ye who enter here! (Dante’s Inferno)
It’s time to discuss despair. Despair in general. Let’s talk about our despair.
Creating Despair
Who began the Great Despair? Probably Darwin, without meaning to do so. It’s perhaps worth pointing out that the happiest and most optimistic poem ever written was penned a mere eighteen years before the Darwinian bombshell of 1859. Here it is. Savor it slowly. It was never to be like this again:
The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn.
Morning's at seven,
The hill-side's dew-pearled,
The lark's on the wing,
The snail's on the thorn,
God's in his Heaven —
All's right with the world!
And day's at the morn.
Morning's at seven,
The hill-side's dew-pearled,
The lark's on the wing,
The snail's on the thorn,
God's in his Heaven —
All's right with the world!
— Robert Browning, Pippa Passes, 1841
With the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species, the mood was to change abruptly. A black cloud settled over the human psyche. Nietzsche was to cry out in anguish, “GOD IS DEAD!” And then, eight years after Darwin’s deathblow, came these — the noblest and most heartrending lines in the English language:
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
— Matthew Arnold, Dover Beach, 1867.
This is what Thomas Huxley, Darwin’s best friend, had to say after The Origin of Species hit the world like a screaming comet on 24 November 1859:
I know of no study which is so utterly saddening as that of the evolution of humanity. Man emerges with the marks of his lowly origin strong upon him. He is a brute, only more intelligent than other brutes, a blind prey to impulses, a victim to endless illusions which make his mental existence a burden and fill his life with barren toil and battle.
In other words: you might as well blow your brains out!
Charles Darwin (1809–1882): “Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin. ... What a book a Devil's Chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horribly cruel works of nature. ... I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars...I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created that a cat should play with mice.”
No God, no morality: anything goes.
Life is no longer worth living in a world without God. Nietzsche knew this. Even as he pronounced God dead, he anguished: “Formula of my happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.”
In other words: faith, certitude, meaning, purpose. These were the vital ingredients that were needed to make life endurable and invest it with dignity. Dostoevsky felt the same way. For him, nihilism was the ultimate nightmare. The problem was neatly summarized for him in the famous phrase he put into Ivan Karamazov’s mouth: “If God is dead, everything is permitted.”
Having concluded that God was dead, the philosophers of the Frankfurt School naturally believed that all was henceforth permissible. This followed from the premise that God was dead. It could not be avoided. If all was permissible, then the rape and murder of a little child was permissible. Ivan Karamazov was quick to point this out. Torture was permissible. There was no point obeying the Ten Commandments, let alone international law. Why bother? "For if there's no God,” Ivan Karamazov argued, “there's no such thing as virtue — and no need for it."
“DO WHAT THOU WILT” becomes the only law.
Today, at this very moment in New York City, a Muslim detainee is being tortured. He is being tortured in violation of international law, the American Constitution, and every ethical principle we hold most dear. This man has no criminal record and has not even been put on trial.
Why be good when evil’s easier? There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
“DO WHAT THOU WILT shall be the whole of the law.” — Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), English Satanist, also known as “the Great Beast”. The Frankfurters would have been tickled pink by his next remark: “I was in the death struggle with self. God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered. Now I have only one doubt left — which of the twain was God?”
Freud and the Frankfurt School intellectuals — by all accounts a Jewish sect — now set out to manipulate this godless world out of bitter spite and despair. Racked with existential angst and hatred against Europeans and their culture, they created a culture of despair.
To destroy Western civilization now became their clearly articulated aim. “Who will save us from Western civilization?” Georg Lukács, one of the founders of the Frankfurt School, asked rhetorically. He began the “rescue operation” himself, convinced that the best way to do this was to create “a culture of pessimism” and “a world abandoned by God.” (Evangelizing despair.)
It was of vital importance to these spiritually deracinated Jews — with a chip on their shoulders two thousand years long — to launch a blitzkrieg of cultural iconoclasm against the Western countries that had harbored them for centuries and done their utmost to assimilate them. They saw Christianity as their main enemy and set out to destroy it: to undermine the family, to turn parent against child, to blur the lines between good and evil, to promote sexual promiscuity and moral relativism — in short, to strip man of his dignity and reduce him to the level of a beast.
A key component of the culture of despair and nihilism was sex. Western mores on sexuality — mores that had the effect of building strong families and providing a safe, loving environment for children — became a prime target of these revolutionaries. Solace and salvation henceforth lay in a hedonistic creed of sexuality.
It was Freud who said, “Sexual morality — as society in its extreme form, the American, defines it — is contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.” (See here.) Other Jewish intellectuals — notably Herbert Marcuse and Wilhelm Reich along with a phalanx of supporters in the media and the universities — marched in lockstep behind Papa Sigmund and spread the message to the masses: salvation through sex.
Freud: “Sexual morality ... is contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.”
This cultural nihilism also spread to politics. Appointing himself mankind’s chief evangelist for moral anarchy, Frankfurt School luminary Walter Benjamin announced blandly: “To organize pessimism means nothing other than to expel the moral metaphor from politics.”
This sentence needs deconstruction. I understand it thus. Fussy distinctions between good and evil should be removed from the realm of politics. If you can get away with flouting international law, as Israel does, then by all means do so. If you want to torture people, as the American government obviously does, don’t let moral scruples stand in your way. DO WHAT THOU WILT.
Following policies like this can be extremely effective, if only for this reason: The human psyche cannot bear to exist in a world in which such vile abominations are freely practised. Result? Existential dissonance. Despair. The culture of pessimism and nihilism.
Walter Benjamin did well to map out a strategy of systematic despair creation. His own ideas got to him, working for him only too well. He committed suicide — hoist by his own petard.
I have said this before. Let me say it again. This is how the song goes:
Let’s create a culture of pessimism! Let’s make western civilization stink! Let’s create a godless world and drive people to despair! Let’s corrupt society’s values and make life impossible! In short, LET’S CREATE HELL ON EARTH! To undermine. To corrupt. To create discord. To drive crazy. To destroy.
Verbs to remember.
Dostoevsky: “If God is dead, everything is permitted.”
The Frankfurt School intellectual, with his philosophy of iconoclastic chaos creation, is Dostoevsky’s Ivan Karamazov in the flesh.
I hasten to give back my entrance ticket to heaven! As I’m an honest man, I give it back right away! It's not God I don't accept, Alyosha — only I most respectfully return him the entrance ticket.
Sigmund Freud: "If only Americans knew, we are bringing them the plague!"
We are in the last days of a dying civilization. The writing is on the wall. Unless a miracle now occurs, we are history.
