Genocide Tourism in Israel

Genocide tourism is a new phenomenon in Israel, as the Zionist Regime sends kids on field trips to witness the genocide of Gaza in real time as part of their educational curriculum. It also offers boat rides for families at night to witness the live destruction.

The Sword, the Bursa, and the Temple: Cromwell and the Genesis of Anglo-Zionism
https://www.incorectpolitic.com/sabia-bursa-si-templul-cromwell-si-geneza-anglo-sionismului/

MECHANICALLY TRANSLATED FROM ROMANIAN

In the official historiography of modern England, Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658) is often presented as the symbol of "religious liberation," parliamentarism, and the transition to constitutional order. However, a closer reading of his actions—especially the reopening of England's gates to the Sephardic Jewish community in 1656—reveals more than a simple religious reform: it is a founding moment of what we can define, with academic caution but conceptual firmness, as Anglo-Zionism.

In 1290, King Edward I of England issued the Edict of Expulsion of the Jews, amid social and religious tensions caused by their economic activity, particularly in the area of ��usury. Jews had already been subject to severe restrictions since the reign of Henry III, including the obligation to live in special quarters, to wear distinctive signs, and to limit their activities to a few marginal economic niches. From 1290 until the 17th century, England had no officially organized Jewish community.

The situation changed radically with the establishment of the English Commonwealth (1649–1660), the republican-theocratic regime led by Oliver Cromwell after the execution of King Charles I. Cromwell, influenced by Puritan millenarian ideas, believed that the return of the Jews to England was a necessary condition for the fulfillment of biblical prophecies concerning the return of Christ. These ideas circulated intensively in Protestant nonconformist circles, being propagated, among others, by theologians such as Thomas Brightman and millenarian publicists such as John Dury.

In 1655, the Sephardic rabbi Menasseh ben Israel (1604–1657), who had settled in Amsterdam, came to London in person to plead with Cromwell for the readmission of Jews to the kingdom. Menasseh was the representative of an influential Sephardic community of Portuguese refugees who had settled in the Netherlands after expulsions from the Iberian Peninsula in the late 15th century. These Jews had extensive trade links in the Atlantic area – particularly in the sugar, tobacco, slave and diamond trade – and maintained close economic relations with the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean and Brazil.

The Whitehall Conference of December 1655, convened by Cromwell to consider Menasseh's request, failed to reach a clear consensus due to opposition from the Anglican clergy and the English commercial elite. In the absence of a formal decree, Cromwell applied a typically modern strategy: he allowed the return of the Jews de facto, without explicitly revoking the edict of 1290. Thus, from 1656 onwards, a Jewish community – almost exclusively composed of Portuguese Sephardic Jews – established itself in London, inaugurating the first post-medieval synagogue (Bevis Marks Synagogue, inaugurated in 1701) and organizing a Jewish cemetery in Mile End.

It is important to emphasize that this readmission was not in the name of a universal humanism, but was motivated by very specific economic and geopolitical considerations. Cromwell aimed to attract to England the circulating Jewish capital, financial expertise, and Sephardic trade networks that could weaken the hegemony of Spain and the Habsburg Empire. In addition, the Jews of Amsterdam held a banking and logistical network essential in the naval competition between the Netherlands and England for supremacy in the Atlantic.

At this point in history, a subtle but decisive mutation occurs: the fusion between Anglo-Saxon imperial ambitions and Jewish commercial networks becomes a systemic alliance. It is not a matter of simple cohabitation, but of the constitution of an ideological and financial bloc that will structure the geopolitics of the modern world. Cromwell, perhaps without fully understanding it, opened the way to a paradigm in which the Protestant state becomes the guarantor of Jewish financial interests, and Jewish capital becomes the indispensable ally of Anglo-Saxon imperialism.

This alliance would be perfected in the following centuries, with the founding of the Bank of England (1694), the consolidation of the London Stock Exchange (1801), and the support given by the British financial elites to the Zionist project starting with the Balfour Declaration (1917). In this sense, Cromwell is not just the figure of a theological rupture or a political revolution, but the archetypal initiator of Anglo-Zionism – that is, of that strategic, doctrinal, and financial alliance that transformed the Christian world into a vehicle for globalist domination.

Symbolically, what had begun as an act of "tolerance" turned into a structural reconfiguration of the European order. From a hierarchical, spiritual, and organic civilization, Europe gradually transformed into a contractual, mercantile, and mechanical system. In place of the Citadel came the Stock Exchange; in place of the Altar – the financial Temple. Cromwell was not just a Puritan dictator, but the architect of a world in which capital becomes the sole criterion of legitimacy, and Tradition is dissolved in the name of progress, credit, and circulation.

Today, as we witness the collapse of the post-war international order and the rekindling of the conflict between sovereignty and globalism, the Cromwellian lesson remains vital: behind every "reform" lies an ideological project. And behind every geopolitical alliance lies a spiritual or anti-spiritual interest. If Europe wants to be reborn, it must rediscover its roots and break the pact with the profane Temple that, since Cromwell, has usurped its crown.

Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegseth
Trump selected Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth is a fanatical Christian Zionist and pro-Israel war hawk with an astounding lack of experience. He was confirmed in the Senate by a vote of 51-50, with the Vice President stepping in to break the tie. Hegseth earned the fewest confirmation votes of any Defense Secretary in U.S. History.

Pete Hegseth has called the two-state solution "lip service" and "effectively dead", and called ceasefire negotiations "blackmail by Hamas."

In 2016, he said his time in the army turned him into a supporter of Israel: "After being in the army and serving in Iraq, I saw different worldviews, and I began to understand Israel's place in the world and where antisemitism comes from... This is not some mystical land that can be undone, this is the story of the chosen people."

Hegseth also said "there's no doubt this is a fight that Israel needs to finish" while lamenting "mainstream media's call for a Palestinian state."

In 2020, he called for massive U.S. military strikes on Iran to take out infrastructure and possibly cultural sites.

It's Getting Ever Wilder and Weirder
King Charles, Donald Trump and Mark Carney walk into a bar ......

Just when you think you're finally getting a handle on things, an errant ball unexpectedly comes zinging in from the outfield, as startling a thing as an out of control wombat sprinting straight at you.

Of course I'm referring to public statements in recent days by Donald Trump and British King Charles concerning the U$$A, Inc. becoming a member of the British Commonwealth. See the following links:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14523713/trump-agrees-commonwealth-king-charles.html

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-suggests-us-could-join-british-commonwealth-2048679

I never saw that coming, and I'll bet you didn't either. If both of them are speaking of it publicly, then it's a sure bet that the matter is being discussed/negotiated(?) in private.

The obvious question is: why would the U$$A, Inc. join the British Commonwealth? Why is this suddenly a top level policy matter within the global Anglosphere, being publicly broached by both the House of Windsor and the White House?

While I can only speculate, if the massively bankrupt U$$A, Inc., aka, the Federal Corporation - - and yes, it is a corporation, see: 28 USC § 3002(15) - - It's All Disgustingly Corporate (Fascist) - - can only remain afloat by acquiring tens of trillions of (increasingly worthless) dollars of hard assets; then with the ever worsening failure of the attempted imperial conquest of Mother Russia by force of arms on the killing fields of the Ukraine, and the consequent loss of Russia's $75 trillion cache of resources by the grubby hands of NATO/EU/Pentagon/Wall Street/City of London gangster/bankster interests, other continent-sized prizes full of trillions of dollars of resources to loot/plunder/exploit inevitably come into play.

Which brings us full circle to Canada, and Donald Trump's repeatedly articulated intention in recent months to seize/incorporate/annex Canada to the U$$A, Inc. as the 51st State - - or something like that.

Not to forget that Canada is estimated to have something like $35 trillion of natural resources and modern infrastructure; quite a haul, and arguably enough loot/plunder/booty to prop up a failing/falling imperial power for a little while longer.

Canada has it all:

international airports

deepwater seaports

highways

railroads

a national electrical grid

productive fisheries off of both coasts

vast tracts of productive farmland

huge forests

a long Arctic coastline

petroleum

natural gas

enormous fresh water reserves

copper

coal

lead

uranium

gold

silver

potash

tens of millions of corporate slaves

Canada produces 60% of the world's fertilizer, eh! How's that for being in position to influence global agricultural production, and thereby the global food supply?

Getting back around to the idea of the U$$A, Inc. joining the British Commonwealth, well, don't you know that to this day Canada is a subject of the British Crown. The British King is also the King of Canada and sits on the Throne of Canada: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Canadian-Senate-thrones.jpg

Canada is under the British Crown. It is under the British monarchy, and legally is the Monarchy of Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada

Perhaps you see where this is headed.

If the U$$A, Inc. accedes to the British Commonwealth, will King Charles, as the titular and de jure head of the British Commonwealth, potentially employ his royal prerogative and join the two Commonwealths, the Monarchy of Canada and the U$$A, Inc. into one North America Commonwealth; thereby effectively dissolving the existing international border, and folding the major portion of the North American continent into the British Commonwealth under British Crown auspices ?? - - which, by the way, has been a major policy objective of the British Crown and the City of London for more than 400 years. That was the founding vision behind the first British colony at Jamestown-Virginia in 1607, and clearly is still an objective of the British Crown, or else King Charles would not still be talking in March of 2025 about the U$$A, Inc. joining the British Commonwealth

Mind you, as the Canadian Sovereign/Canadian Monarch, the British Crown has ultimate say-so on Canadian policy and the disposition of Canadian territory. If you are a Canadian resident or citizen don't bother to write and tell me that you are not a subject of the British Crown. You are a Crown subject, and Canada is not a free country.

And if you are a so-called "USA" citizen or resident, please don't write and tell me that you are a free individual, and not Federal Corporation livestock, owned and under the dominion of the U$$A, Inc. You're on the corporate books as collateral property, and if the massive Federal Corporation, in its almost terminal bankruptcy throes, decides to join the British Commonwealth, in order to advance the larger objective of establishing the Technate of America - - probably paying the British Crown a very generous/hefty trillion dollar finders fee (ahem) in the process - - then that's what will happen! You are not on the board of directors, and you don't get to vote.

King Charles is on the board of directors. Donald Trump is on the board of directors. Mark Carney is on the board of directors. But not you and me.

Something along the lines of the scenario that I have sketched out here is the only thing that makes sense to me.

And that would also explain why Mark Carney has just recently been made Canadian Prime Minister. He's a very BIG MONEY man. Tens and even hundreds of trillion$ of dollars are in play if the Monarchy of Canada and the U$$A, Inc. are to be joined territorially and politically. Mark Carney is just the man to make the deal of this or most any other century with Donald Trump and and King Charles.

I'll tell you exactly why. To begin with, Mark Carney is an Agenda Contributor at the World Economic Forum (WEF). He's an influential, high-level, global mover and shaker. Here is his publically known curriculum vitae:

Bachelor's in Economics, Harvard University

Master's and Doctorate in Economics, Oxford University

Thirteen years with Goldman Sachs in London, Tokyo, New York, Toronto

Chairman at Brookfield Asset Management

Deputy Governor, Bank of Canada

Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance

Governor of the Bank of Canada

Governor of the Bank of England

Chairman, Financial Stability Board (FSB)

External member of the Board of Stripe

Other board memberships: Global Advisory Board of PIMCO, Harvard University, Rideau Hall Foundation, Bilderberg Group, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Hoffman Institute for Global Business and Society at INSEAD, Cultivo

Senior Counsellor of the MacroAdvisory Partners

Advisor of the Watershed

Chairman of Chatham House

Chairman of the Group of Thirty

Advisory Board Chairman for Canada 2020

Present Prime Minister of Canada

So you see, it's all about business, very big, global, multi-trillion dollar business.

Mark Carney and Donald Trump have been selected to manage one of the biggest real estate and raw resource deals in all of history.

It will have all the solemnity and circumstance of an arranged marriage to cement bonds between two neighboring clans in the old country:

Like it or not, it looks like that is what has been set in motion. Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

From Karl Radl at Karl's Substack, this is about a book used in 1939 Britain, so, it may seem polite, but, if you could get one that is uesed today - particularly in the US - it would probably be a lot nore aggressive and obnoxious, since the jews have come out of their civility shells since 1939.

An Analysis of a Jewish Anti-Defamation Handbook
https://karlradl14.substack.com/p/an-analysis-of-a-jewish-anti-defamation

A few years ago I came into possession of an unusual literary item: an anti-defamation speaker's handbook, which was produced for the sole reason of defending the jewish people from their detractors (like me).

It is a truism to state that such work rarely falls into the hands of anti-Semites as it is by its nature an item that is quickly thrown away once it has served its purpose and such advice as to what to use and what to avoid in arguments tends to being tacit rather than explicit in nature. We can explain this simply by suggesting that obtaining such a handbook even at a considerably later date than the time it was meant to answer is akin to obtain the minutes of meetings of jewish propagandists and officials who seek to attack anti-Semitism.

This is true in so far as those seeking to make a propagandistic case necessarily wish to keep their arguments amongst themselves so that their opponents cannot anticipate them and use this knowledge to their advantage in any confrontations. In addition handbooks of this kind necessarily operate a policy - which in military terms would be known as elastic defence - in so far as they have a series of counter-arguments and information to challenge their opponents, but these are often covertly or overtly contradictory and should they fall into the hands of their opponents much can be made of this. Hence this handbook is a rare and valuable find for an anti-Semite and I would be lying if I said I was looking for such material: I found it quite by accident at an auction of Judaica that I attended and bought it after realising what it was.

What we shall do here is to look at this work and analyse it in order to understand the mentality of the arguments offered and what the handbook's internal evidence suggests about the mentality of the jewish and pro-jewish partisans it was designed to aid. We shall also briefly look at some of the arguments offered in terms of their factual accuracy for jews, as a group, specialise in making apparently cogent arguments by misrepresenting literature, sources and making un-evidenced logical jumps. (1)

This dependence on the appearance of an intelligent argument; as I have stated before in much of my published work as well as in private correspondence, is central to why jews propound the types of conspiracy-based arguments in both the scholarly and popular literature. It is also why so few of those who label themselves as 'sceptics' notice that the very arguments they decry amongst the majority of what they term 'Nazis', 'racists' and 'fascists' (etc ad infinitum) are used regularly by those whose arguments they often use against said labelled individuals and groups. That this contradiction remains unnoticed is more down to the current mythos, which remains relatively unquestioned among intellectual orthodoxy that the jews are a 'special case' and that they have a 'unique' place in world history. That claim of 'special status' has allowed jews to use their jewish identity as a shield from criticism as for example has been seen in more recent years with the creation of 'new anti-Semitism theory', which seeks to use the status of Israel as jewish state to defend Israel from criticism by labelling all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic. (2)

Thus when we are analysing this handbook we are gaining a valuable insight into the mind of the jewish opponents of anti-Semitism and the logic that they are using to defend jews. As it happens that logic is less than flattering to the apparent 'victim' - i.e. the jews - than the apparent 'aggressor' as it depicts very markedly their true - rather than their projected and claimed (by both themselves and their apologists) - character.

The handbook itself is a small pocket-size volume of rather cheap - but somewhat hardy - construction entitled 'Jewish Defence Campaign Speakers' Handbook' and as is common to handbooks intended for practical purposes each page only contains a single side of text with the reverse side of the page given over as a 'Notes' page presumably to allow the jew or the pro-jewish advocate to note down thoughts, ideas or references that may occur to him or her during the use of the handbook.

The handbook itself was authored by one Frank Renton. (3) Whether Renton was a jew or a pro-jewish gentile cannot be determined or inferred from the contents of the handbook (4) and nor is the surname listed as one commonly used by jews in Kaganoff's dictionary (5) on the subject. The hand book itself was first published in 1937 - which can be inferred from date in the foreword - (6) and was evidently re-issued as a new edition in early 1939 as we can learn from the references to Kristallnacht throughout the text. There are few historical references but Appendix E 'British Political History in a Nutshell', (7) runs up to the 9th of January 1939 (8) and with no reference to any date past this. It is therefore safe to conclude that the new edition was completed shortly after this date as the outbreak of war would have made much of the material in the handbook redundant and the handbook contains no mention of the run up to events in Czechoslovakia and Poland that lead to outbreak of hostilities between the Third Reich and the British Empire.

The handbook's authoritative nature as being representative of jewish opinion and organisations is confirmed by the author of the foreword Neville Laski who was at the time of his writing - 1937 - President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. (9) This is further confirmed by the identity of the publisher 'The Woburn Press', (10) which was the official publisher of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which is the representative body of jews in Britain to the Government having been established by Sephardi jewish merchants and physicians in the 18th century to provide full-time advocacy for jewish interests in the domestic and international politics and policies of the United Kingdom.

That the President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews has endorsed the handbook and that it has been published by the Board of Deputies themselves informs us that the contents of the work were themselves endorsed by jews resident in the United Kingdom and can be taken as representative of their intellectual positions. Whatever the defects in the work these cannot be solely subscribed to Renton for an endorsement written as a foreword as well as using the official Board of Deputies publishing house to bring out the work suggests that that organisation, which is the official representative of jews in Britain is also responsible as the active proponents of any errors that Renton may or may not have made as well as any libels he may or may not have authored.

The handbook begins with a list of twenty-four 'Practical Hints for Public Speakers' (11) and contains some points of interest to us beyond the more usual list of oratory-related tips, which seem somewhat unique to jews as a group. I quote several points that in particular seem to reflect the specific points that are common among jews:

Quote'(5) Rancour and spite will not help our cause.

(6) Avoid pomposity and arrogance; not too much of the "Chosen People", or "That Jewry stands at the graves of her traducers".

(7) Speak to a non-Jewish audience as fellow-citizens and not as non-Jews, Christians, or Gentiles.'

'(9) Whilst rhetoric may be used at open-air meetings, refrain from over-acting and an incessant thumping of the platform edge.

(10) Never commit yourself to possible misstatements of facts and figures. If you cannot answer a question through lack of knowledge, assure your heckler that a reply will be either sent to him or given at next week's meeting.' (12)

'(14) Dress neatly but not conspicuously.

(18) Speakers are advised to read the speeches of such champions of liberty and justice as Abraham Lincoln, John Stuart Mill, Edmund Burke, Lord Macaulay, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Lloyd George. Reference to poets such as Byron (Hebrew Melodies), Shelley, Wordsworth, Tennyson, William Morris, and Alexander Pope will enable you to cull quotations and perorations for use at public meetings.

(19) Remember that your non-Jewish audience is not definitely anti-Semitic and that it is your duty to state our case in a calm, dignified, and dispassionate manner. You will lose the sympathy of a non-Jewish audience by indulging in a mud-slinging contest.

(20) Bear in mind that you have been entrusted by the Jewish community to defend its honour, and it behoves you to present our case to the British public in a dignified manner. Strict adherence to our case from a non-political angle and your regular attendance at the Speakers' Practice Class will help you carry out this great task with efficiency and dignity.' (13)

The points that I have quoted above, as we might expect, are linked with each other and so in order to understand them we must split up what we can ascertain from them by theme.

It is noteworthy that Renton repeatedly states that vicious attitudes should not be entertained openly while advocating the jewish cause, but does not actually condemn those attitudes; both in their treatment of gentiles and gentile religion in general, which directly contradict his hint that using what he refers to as 'champions of liberty and justice' (14) should be used to bolster the jewish case (when they would condemn his tacit endorsement of anti-gentile principles as opposed to their championing of 'liberty and justice').

When we point out that the non-condemnation of these attitudes is a tacit endorsement. We do so on the grounds that the pro-jewish case that Renton outlines is based on nineteenth century - so-called rationalist - ideals of 'liberty and justice'; some of the major influences on and authors of which Renton cites in point 18, but that while endorsing these ideas Renton selectively interprets the logic against those of which he disapproves rather than applying that logic to the jews as well (who Renton implicitly informs us are exempt from any criticism or having to conform to what they preach to others).

This makes Renton a hypocrite in his underlying logic and does not bode well for the factual nature of his case or the validity of the strategy he recommends against the case he offers (i.e., his strategy in promoting pro-jewish arguments contradicts the actual pro-jewish arguments he is promoting).

Instead of condemning the pro-jewish arguments he is actually promoting which go against his ideas. Renton merely gives advice to his audience as to their presentation and specifically - by implication - to make the argument less about what the pro-jewish cause entails, but rather about the problem of jewish suffering.

So - in essence - Renton is telling his reader to defend the jews by subtly switching the ground on which the argument is based from having to argue a positive thesis to merely arguing against something, which as anyone who has written extensively on almost any subject will know is a lot easier than trying to present your own thesis on a given subject. Renton however does realise that a positive thesis is also required, but as an ancillary to the negative case that the handbook suggests so he does in fact provide some positive arguments to use, but comparatively speaking they are very few compared to the 'rebuttal' type of arguments that Renton focuses on.

If we think about these two observations regarding Renton's advice to his jewish and philo-Semitic audience. It suggests that what Renton is doing is implicitly recognising that - and explicitly pointing out to his reader - the general weakness of jews as a people in argument, debate and propaganda is that they have an extreme tendency towards egoism, which causes them to become extremely irate and insulting very quickly when challenged on a subject or talking about a subject that they believe is vital to their egoistic and/or physical survival.

Renton's focus on presenting a negative case plays to the strength of these weaknesses in so far as if a jew screams and hyperventilates on a speaking platform then it can be ascribed by him or those who are also speaking to his or her 'passion' for the subject and thus potentially turned from a propagandistic nightmare to a propagandistic tool on behalf of jewry. However it should be noted that Renton also implicitly recognising the possibility; and even likely probability, that jewish speakers will simply engage in flinging insults and accusations against their opponents thus giving credence to the anti-Semitic motto: 'the jew is the great master of the lie'.

The next theme that we encounter is the jewish view of gentiles that is implied by Renton in his statements. When Renton admonishes his reader in point 19 to 'remember that your non-Jewish audience is not definitely anti-Semitic' what he is implicitly telling us is that jews - then as now - naturally perceive any gentile to be naturally anti-Semitic, because of the explicit and implicit jewish assumption of their absolute superiority as the 'Chosen of Hashem'. This is made explicit by Renton when he tells his reader in point 6 to avoid referring to themselves as the 'Chosen People' and then in point 7 to not refer to their audience as anything other than fellow human-beings. What Renton is telling us as anti-Semites here is that the jewish weakness - as indicated above - is their individual and collective ego, which is heavily tied in to their collective and individual vision of themselves as the 'Chosen People' (either of Hashem or in some other religious or secular way) and if you prick that ego then the jew will shoot themselves down in the eyes of their audience.

This again demonstrates that Renton is no empty prophet who does not practice his preaching in so far as he consistently advises jews to be careful and to present - like he does - a 'case for humanity for the jew' rather than merely a case for the jews as the 'most wonderful people in the world' and therefore further drive a wedge between the jews and their victims. Instead Renton suggests - and indeed practices - that the tactics and techniques of the con-man be adopted by the jews and their philo-Semitic supporters in order to gain as much support as possible from those who don't know much about jews as a people and just assume that they are 'like everyone else' and have 'particularly suffered from injustice'.

We can also note that the jewish attitude implicit in Renton's comment that things like 'jewry stands at the graves of her traducers' is not exactly complementary to gentiles as the implication - likely based on the jewish assumption that their opponents are part of Amalek and therefore they should be physically exterminated as decreed by Hashem and explained by the great jewish sage Moses Maimonides in his 'Mishneh Torah' - is that all opponents of the jews will be systematically killed by the jews for their opposition to the 'Chosen of Hashem'.

In summary of this then we can say that Renton is advising his jewish and philo-Semitic readers to not show the fact (and even outright deny) that jewry has a disdainful attitude towards non-jews and that jews 'are just like everyone else' thus effectively conning the audience into unwarranted sympathy for the jews through lying by omission. Renton is ruthless in this, but this we may say is probably justified in his mind by the fact that he believes - understandably perhaps - that world jewry is fighting for its very existence against the anti-Semitic developing superpower of the time: the Third Reich.

The next theme we should notice from Renton's points is the egocentrism that he implicitly acknowledges as being the basis of jewish behaviour and thought processes. Renton notices this by his comments about the jewish habit of becoming very irate very quickly about being challenged as the sub-text of that comment is that a jew - generally speaking - cannot stand to be corrected and that they will necessarily see it as a criticism of themselves (i.e., an attack on their ego), and will respond accordingly by what Renton calls: 'mud-slinging'.

This Renton implicitly acknowledges distinguishes jews from gentiles in so far as gentiles are less likely to see a criticism of their thoughts, arguments or general beliefs to be an attack upon their person (i.e., gentiles are generally speaking less egoistic than jews) and that gentiles are also less likely to respond by 'mud-slinging' than jews are.

We need to note Renton's implicit recognition of the egocentric basis of jewish behaviour and thought processes in his comments about the jewish identity as the 'Chosen People' in so far as he implicitly tells his jewish readers that they need to swallow their ego and pretend - like any good con-man - to be 'just like everyone else' in order to defend themselves from harm appealing to the self-awarded authority of the jewish community over individual jews in point 20.

We should also notice that in point 20 Renton shows us that he recognises another easily confirmed observation about jews in so far as he admonishes his jewish reader to attend speakers classes so that they can best represent the jewish community, but what is implicit within in this is that jews are extremely egoistic creatures and believe that they - as the 'Chosen of Yahweh' - will naturally have the oratorical prowess of a Cicero or an Ingersoll. This is amusing of course as one can but easily imagine a slightly rotund jew waddling onto the speakers platform and - per Renton - screaming hatred at gentiles for an hour and then at the conclusion of the speech demanding that the gentiles serve the jews as a dog serves its master. This amusing as it is to observe does demonstrate to us the fact that jews are extremely egocentric in so far Renton constantly - throughout the handbook - admonishes his jewish readers to stop thinking they can do everything themselves and are already perfect.

Well they are supposedly the children of Hashem now aren't they?

Further Renton notices other indicators of the egocentric nature of jews when he tells his jewish and philo-Semitic reader in point 14: 'dress neatly but not conspicuously.'

This - of course - implies that jews have a tendency to buy the most expensive and flamboyant clothing that they possibly can in order to show off how wealthy they are and 'keep up with the Goldbergs'. This is informs us by implication that in Renton's judgement the jews are egocentric characters and are want to tell the barely clothed starving gentile workman or the struggling gentile single mother what to do while sitting on their fat rump in their flashy clothes dropping mildewed crumbs from their table that they expect gentiles to believe, because the words come from a jew.

The last theme which we should notice from Renton's list is that in point 10 he admonishes his jewish and philo-Semitic reader not to engage in gross distortion of facts and figures (although Renton implies that subtle distortions are acceptable, because they are much harder to detect), because that lends itself to the standard anti-Semitic argument that the jew is a habitual liar and does not really care about truth, but rather is simply out for himself and does not care one jot what happens to non-jews (or even other jews for that matter).

Renton is so concerned that jewish speakers will simply lie through their teeth to their gentile audiences and be caught out by those who happen to know something of what they are talking about that he goes as far as to tell his jewish readers to assure their detractor/heckler/opponent that a response will be forthcoming to them 'soon' (i.e., Renton provides a simple standard response).

Of course Renton likely recognised that the jewish speakers he is trying to reach out to would not actually send any 'response' to their detractor, but would instead use his suggested counter as a way out of the sticky situation of being caught knowingly lying by an adroit individual or group.

With that we conclude our analysis of Renton's list of 'Practical Hints for Public Speakers' and the next article in this series will focus on the quotes, assertions and claims that Renton suggests his jewish and philo-Semitic readers use in their own speeches defending the jews and attacking anti-Semites so that we can learn from - and how to rebut - them in our present day struggle.

By Alison Weir, January 23, 2020

In an astounding gathering, at least 45 presidents, kings, premiers, and world leaders have gathered in Israel to pay obeisance to the Jewish State and "fight antisemitism." Israel's Ha'aretz newspaper calls it "an airlift of presidents, prime ministers and royalty from around the world."

In the midst of the impeachment proceedings, US Vice President Mike Pence and Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi have flown to Israel to pay tribute. (The US gives Israel over $10 million per day.)

The opulent two-day event is entitled "Remembering the Holocaust: Fighting Antisemitism." The presidents and kings have gathered in response to a summons to commemorate The Holocaust – a catastrophic event that ended 75 years ago through the deaths of thousands' of their countries' soldiers – and to "fight antisemitism."

It is unlikely that any will mention the current and ongoing genocidal program against Palestinians, or that the alleged "antisemitism" they are fighting often consists of support for Palestinian human rights. It is also doubtful that the millions of non-Jews who died during The Holocaust will play much of a role in the festivities.

The event is the brain child of Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor, a Russian-Israeli oligarch known for "unscrupulous business dealings" who made his money during the massive plunder of Russian resources that left many ordinary Russian citizens in misery. Kantor is the president of the European Jewish Congress and multiple other international entities. This is his fifth Holocaust Forum.

A major component of the alleged "antisemitism" that Kantor is fighting is opposition to Israel's human rights abuses and apartheid-like system of discrimination.

Kantor is a Russian-Israeli billionaire dedicated to Israel. He has stated that the creation of the State of Israel is the "biggest achievement" of Diaspora Jewry, and believes that all Jews must work to "strengthen our beloved state." (The following is excerpted from a previous article article I wrote on the topic.)

In 2008 Kantor enunciated his core belief: "The reality of today requires that European Jews care not only about the preservation and security of Israel, but also the way it is treated by the rest of the world. This must be the leading priority of the European Diaspora."

Kantor heads up and sometimes even originated, a network of pro-Israel international entities.

In addition to being president of the European Jewish Congress, he is founder and president of the World Holocaust Forum Foundation, founder and chairman of the European Jewish Fund, originator and president of the International Luxembourg Forum on Preventing Nuclear Catastrophe, co-founder and president of the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation, vice president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, a member of the International Board of Hillel, and the former president of the Russian Jewish Congress, to name just some of his affiliations.

His ability to accomplish all this stems from his enormous wealth. In addition to being an "international philanthropist," as he identifies himself, Kantor is an international businessman with $4 billion at his disposal. He has been accused of unscrupulous business dealings and financial fraud.

Like other Russian oligarchs, Kantor made his fortune in the first years of Russia's "new capitalism"– sometimes called "gangster capitalism" – when, under the guise of "privatization," Russia's economy was massively looted, causing ruin to many Russian citizens who saw their life savings vanish, sometimes in a matter of weeks. Kantor's father, a former Red Army soldier, reportedly served prison time for "speculation and embezzlement of state property in a large scale, taking bribes and forgery." Kantor was among the many individuals in the Russian Jewish community who flourished; many – perhaps most – of the Russian oligarchs have ties to Israel.

Kantor is known for a variety of international activities. Along with notorious oligarch Boris Berezovsky, Kantor is said to have been a "sponsor of the 'Orange Revolution' in Ukraine in 2005, which led to the cancellation of the initial results of the presidential election." Berezovsky later bragged that he had funded the revolution.  In 2006 Kantor received an award from Ukraine's new president for "distinguished services" to the country.

Stamping out 'Antisemitism' and 'Intolerance'
Kantor has been involved in a global campaign to embed a new, Israel-centric definition of antisemitism in European governments and institutions. The EJC says that the definition of anti-Semitism must be "clarified" because "the new form of anti-Semitism" supposedly "emanates from pro-Palestinians." EJC is the regional affiliate of the World Jewish Congress, one of whose main missions is to advocate for Israel.

Kantor says that BDS, the international boycott of Israel over its violent human rights abuses, is "antisemitic." (BDS works to "uphold the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.") According to Kantor, "Anti-Zionism [opposition to Israel's systemic discrimination and violence] is almost always just a mask for hatred of Jews and Jewish collectivity and is just the most modern manifestation of the oldest hatred."

Thus, the opposition of Kantor and his organizations to "antisemitism" often consists of censoring information that exposes Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights.

Kantor advocates that governments punish antisemites as harshly as they punish terrorists. He has been working to convince European governments to adopt a bizarre 13-page program of "concrete and enforceable obligations that ensure tolerance and stamp out intolerance."

The Orwellian program, entitled "National Statute for the Promotion of Tolerance" (revised version here), would restrict freedom of expression, impose re-education programs, enact surveillance structures, and institute criminal penalties for "antisemitism" and other "intolerance." Expressing views specified as impermissible would be "regarded as criminal offenses punishable as aggravated crimes."

The document proposes a deeply authoritarian structure controlling multiple aspects of society to coerce "tolerance," and anyone who doesn't get with the program would be taken care of, e.g. "Juveniles convicted of committing crimes listed in paragraph (a) will be required to undergo a rehabilitation programme conducive to a culture of tolerance." Big Brother in the form of a "National Tolerance Monitoring Commission" would ensure that no one says or does anything that the Commission determines is "intolerant."

The program is being promoted by Kantor's "European Center for Tolerance and Reconciliation" (ECTR), and may be on the way to becoming a reality. Kantor has secured former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair as the ECTR Chairman and French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy as a member.

According to its website ECTR has formed a joint task force with the European Council to work on implementing the program throughout Europe. The European Council, composed of the heads of state or government of the 28 EU member states, defines the EU's overall political direction and priorities.

'Global Pandemic'
Kantor recently said that antisemitism is now a "global pandemic" and that the "crisis of antisemitism is a slippery slope to global catastrophe." He warns that Jews could "disappear completely as a people from Europe," and raises the alarm about what he describes as "mass killing at synagogues."

Media reports on the new EJC campaign similarly emphasize recent tragic attacks on Jews, and reference the assaults in the cities of Monsey, Jersey City, Halle, Poway, and Pittsburgh.

These terrifying attacks reportedly killed a combined total of 14 Jews.

News reports on the alleged perpetrators of the assaults, who were of diverse races, indicate a variety of motivations. One attacker said he had been inspired by a 2019 assault on two New Zealand mosques that had killed 51 Muslims.

Previous fatal shootings have also occurred at other religious sites. The largest number of fatalities in the US may have been at a Christian church, where 26 worshipers were killed in 2017.

While Kantor and the EJC claim the existence of massive antisemitism, Jewish Americans are reportedly the wealthiest group in the US, and this also appears to be the case for Jews worldwide.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have killed almost 10,000 Palestinian men, women, and children since 2000 and injured tens of thousands; Palestinian resistance forces have killed approximately 1,200 Israelis (details here).

Such disproportion is not new.

Twenty-five years ago, an Israeli author wrote: "In the last 40 years the number of non-Jews killed by Jews is by far greater than the number of the Jews killed by non-Jews."

Many Jews around the world, including in Israel itself, have long strenuously opposed Israeli violence. According to Kantor and his cohort, these individuals are also "antisemitic."

Fifth World Holocaust Forum
The new campaign comes just before the Fifth World Holocaust Forum to be held in Israel tomorrow,  January 23rd, co-sponsored by the president of Israel. The forums are another one of Kantor's many projects.

Over 45 heads of state and world leaders have said they plan to attend the event, including the presidents of France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, the kings of Spain and Belgium, and Britain's Prince Charles. Vice-president Mike Pence and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will also attend. [Her Congressional delegation includes Eliot Engel (D-NY), Debbie Wasserman Schulz (D-FL), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Nita Lowey (D-NY), Brad Schneider (D-IL) and Joe Wilson (R-SC).

The event is being held at Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust complex, a vast, sprawling institution with dozens of Israeli flags and tree-studded walkways leading to exhibits, archives, monuments, sculptures, and memorials.

The event website proclaims that the Holocaust is "the most horrific tragedy in human history" and states that "a new wave of antisemitism unseen since World War II poses an existential threat to European Jewry."

According to the Jerusalem Post, among the forum's features will be speeches by select heads of state, a Holocaust survivor, video clips, and "musical interludes performed by an orchestra and an international choir." The event will be live streamed and conclude with the Israeli national anthem.

Yad Vashem is in Jerusalem where there is evidence all around – for any with eyes to see – of another genocidal program, one that has been going on since the one commemorated by Yad Vashem ended. An historian calls this one the "Palestinian holocaust" and describes it: a land was "occupied, emptied of its people, its physical and cultural landmarks obliterated, its destruction hailed as a miraculous act of God, all done according to a premeditated plan, meticulously executed, internationally supported, and still maintained today..."

Palestinians forced out in 1948 during Israel's founding war.
Yad Vashem overlooks one of the obliterated landmarks emptied of its people: an almost empty field where the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin once stood.

On April 9, 1948 Zionist forces systematically exterminated 110 men, women, and children as part of a plan to rid Palestine of its Muslim and Christian population in order to make way for the Jewish state. This was one of 16 such Zionist massacres that took place before the official start of Israel's founding war of ethnic cleansing, and over a month before a single Arab Army joined the conflict. In contrast to Yad Vashem's monuments and memorials, Deir Yassin has no marker.

More recent evidence of the ongoing oppression can be found in the Issawiya neighborhood of Jerusalem, where heavily armed Israeli police have raided over 500 Palestinian homes and arrested more than 700 residents since May, apprehending children as young as five. Israeli forces shot dead a 21-year-old at close range and have injured over 300 people of all ages. Soldiers beat and humiliate residents at will. One resident says the area "has turned into a ghetto." (Another such ghetto is Gaza, where Israeli forces yesterday killed three young men.

Not far from Issawiyah is Israel's mammoth apartheid wall, confiscating additional Palestinian land and helping to imprison over two million people. In 2002 Israeli media reported that Israeli generals were studying how the German army fought in the Warsaw ghetto for use in Israel's next campaign against Palestinians.

The Holocaust Forum program states that the world leaders "will be invited to lay a wreath at the base of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Monument created by world-renowned Jewish sculptor and artist Nathan Rappaport."

Perhaps some of the world leaders could also visit the unmarked site of Deir Yassin, and lay a wreath on one of its crumbling graves. And then go to Israel's wall and echo a famous demand from a previous head of state: "Tear down this wall."

And maybe a future social media campaign could focus on ending all genocides, injustice, and oppression.
