Chapter VIII Bolshevism

CHAPTER VIII

Bolshevism

167

The revolution in Russia will be the historical point of departure whence will date the renewed hostility to the Jew in Western Europe.

Examination of that revolution—it was (as said in Chapter III) "a Jewish movement, but not a movement of the Jewish race:" importance of this distinction—unfortunately the two different terms "Jewish race" and "a Jewish movement" are confused in the popular mind.

The Revolution not the result of an accident or of a universal plot—element of racial revenge—the Jew not a revolutionary—special character of the Russian situation—Industrial Capitalism, the great evil of our time, there recent and weak—therefore open to special attack—an international evil—the only two international forces applicable were the Jews and the Catholic Church—why the Catholic Church cannot directly attack industrial Capitalism—why the Jew who happens to be opposed to it can and does directly attack it—neither our instinct for property nor our Nationalism an obstacle in his case.

Grave perils to the Jew arise from his identification with Bolshevism—the more reason to meet these perils by a sane treatment of the Jewish problem.

Jews and the erosion of Christmas

I was planning a post of my own on this subject, but Blackpilled posted a video that covered it pretty well, so I'm going to link to him and add a few thoughts of my own. With that said, I present: Rudolph the Jewish Reindeer.

Now for a few of my own thoughts: First off, this is another case where, in order for there to be conflict and discontent, there doesn't need to be any backroom conspiracy with Grabbler hand-wringing. (Look up some recent Owen Benjamin, if you don't get the name.) There doesn't even need to be a hint of malice. All you have to have is a few people in the right position who kind-of-almost-but-not-quite fit in and who want to take part.

I don't think any of these were written in the spirit of, "Heh heh heh! We'll show those filthy goyim! We're going to destroy one of their most sacred holy days and turn it into meaningless secular garbage!" I think most of them were outsiders who wanted to contribute and take part. I think most of them probably genuinely liked their goyim neighbors and wanted to contribute to the feelings of the season.

And yet . . . and yet . . . if you turn on a random radio station or walk into a store anywhere in the U.S. in December, you'll hear lots of "generic winter holiday" music, but very little Christmas music. The funny and frustrating part is that there are huge swathes of the country, like where I currently live, that almost never see snow, so "White Christmas" or "Jingle Bells" are that much more meaningless to us. And of course there are all of the (((Hollywood))) "Christmas" movies. And to a genuine Christian, this gets grating very quickly.

Christmas means something. That's why some people disagree with it. "Generic winter holiday" means nothing, and that's why everybody gets to play along. And that's why it's boring and stupid and bland.

And in yet another case of an "anti-semite" being the person who says about Jews what they say about themselves, but doesn't like it, you can find Jews talking about this phenomenon quite a bit.

Two last things, a belated merry Christmas to all, and a Hannakuh sameach to Yehuda. And, why the heck not, a little filk of my own from several years back:

I'm dreaming of a white supremacist
just like the ones I used to know
where his shaved head glistens
[Two lines that only exist in my head because I have never spoken them to anyone].

I'm dreaming of a white supremacist
with every triple K I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your ancestors be white!

Chapter VII The Anti-Semite

CHAPTER VII

The Anti-Semite

145

Error of neglecting to study Anti-Semitism on account of its extravagance—it is a most significant thing, however ill-balanced—character of the Anti-Semite—he does not recognize a Jewish problem to be solved but only a Jewish race to be hated—this hatred his whole motive—his self-contradictions—his delusion—his strength—the press still on the whole boycotts the Anti-Semitic movement—but it is growing prodigiously—its great power of documentation—its vast accumulation of evidence—effect this will have when it comes out.

The Jews met Anti-Semitism by nothing but ridicule—this weapon insufficient and bound to fail—their enemies have countered it by accumulating facts—the latter a much stronger weapon so long as the erroneous Jewish policy of secrecy is maintained.

Danger to the Jews of the Anti-Semitic movement—(1) because of its intensity—(2) because of its formidable accumulation of evidence, which cannot be permanently suppressed—(3) and most important, because it is allied to a now widespread and more moderate, but very hostile, feeling, to which it acts as spear-head.

A new rule going forward

After witnessing the pathetic display on Shea's blog, I must implement a new ground rule here. If I have to ban anyone in the future, no one else may reply to that person's comments after the ban. That is fundamentally unfair. Any such comments will be deleted, and the commenter will be warned. Repeated violations will result in a ban for yourself.

I don't anticipate this being a problem, but such behavior is childish and disgusting and I don't want to be associated with it in the slightest.

Chapter VI The Cause of Friction upon Our Side

CHAPTER VI
The Cause of Friction upon our Side     123

This department of our inquiry often neglected through an error—it is presumed that, because we are the hosts and the Jew alien to us, no responsibility falls on us—this error forgets that the Jew is permanently with us and that every permanent human relation involves responsibility.

The first cause of friction on our side is disingenuousness in our dealings with the Jew—examples of this—we conceal from the Jew our real feelings—we deceive him—the richer classes who intermarry with Jews and enter into business partnership with them especially to blame—the populace more straightforward—this deceiving of the Jew leaves him troubled when the quarrel comes to a head—he has not heard what is said behind his back.

Disingenuousness in our suppression of the Jewish problem in history—gross examples of it in contemporary life and particularly in the popular press—Jews called "Russians," "Germans," anything but what they are.

Unintelligence a second cause of friction—example: our treatment of Jewish immigration—we hate it, yet allow it because we dare not give it its right name—unintelligent treatment of the Jew in fiction—unintelligence in our astonishment at his international position—example of the cabinet minister's cousin who got into trouble.

Last cause, lack of charity—people won't put themselves in the shoes of the Jew and see how things look from his side—we do not (as we should) mix with Jews of every class and address their societies—Summary—A warning against the idea that the friction between the Jews and ourselves is unimportant—it has bred catastrophe in the past and may in the future.

And now that we're back on our regular schedule, next week we will pick up with Chapter VII The Anti-Semite. I was thinking, since he's such an expert on the topic, maybe we should invite Lawrence Bond back for that chapter. What do you think?

“I’m afraid I’ve been thinking.”

LeFou, I’m afraid I’ve been thinking

A dangerous pastime.

I know.

If you are an American and do not wish to be furious almost all of the time, do not, I repeat, do not start looking up who is and is not Jewish. As they say, the first one's free. It's addictive and it will very quickly start making you very, very angry.

https://www.jweekly.com/2019/12/06/three-of-the-impeachment-witness-lawyers-were-jewish-and-it-matters/

So, here we have 1 Jew interviewing three other Jews about how they can overturn an election by the American people. The only non-Jew in this scenario was the one telling them this is a bad idea and sets a dangerous precedent.

Why am I linking that story? Because I read that and wondered, "What kind of parent is proud of her child being a murderous political radical?" So I looked up some information about Kathy Boudin. Oh . . . she's (((Kathy Boudin))). And the same applies to Bernadine Dohrn, also a hard-left radical of the sixties, and, for that matter, also granted a cushy tenured academic position in the hell-scape of our ivy-league universities.

Name a prominent left-wing activist in America over the past 50 years and it's basically a coin-flip if they're Jewish. At this rate, I'm going to be growing a toothbrush mustache before next New Year's.

Introductory chapter to the 1937 edition

Belloc did not provide us with a summary, so I guess it's up to me this time. (How thoughtless of him.)

Preface to the 1937 edition

This chapter covers the political and cultural changes affecting the Jewish question between the original publication in 1922 and this reprint in 1937. Specifically, Belloc discusses the Spanish Civil War, the Nazi policies regarding the Jews, and the beginnings of what we know today as the state of Israel.

We will resume our normal reading next week with chapter six. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, you could take a moment and consider my previous post.

I'd appreciate your support

I have a link at the top to my SubscribeStar page. I thought, however, I would mention this in a full blog post.

I currently run this discussion group and my YouTube and BitChute channels. I did not start any of this to get rich, and so far, I am wildly successful at not getting rich. However, if you like the work I do, I could definitely use some support.

I currently have 3 monthly subscribers there, and SubscribeStar has a rule that you must have at least 5 subscribers in order to withdraw money. I don't know why they have this rule, but it's their house and their rules.

I recently added a $1 a month and a $5 a month option. So if you'd like to help me out, you could sign on for just $1 a month. In addition to that dollar, that would also give me the ability withdraw the money already contributed.

Obviously, none of you are under any obligation here, but I'd appreciate the help.

That's here at SubscribeStar

God be with you.
