The great slaughter of innocents is
imminent. Very soon, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of our
brothers by Adam and Eve will be strafed, napalmed, and nuked. Boys and
girls, unborn babes and old men will be brought to the altar of
Vengeance and ritually slaughtered by the High Priest of that God,
President George W. Bush. The time is aptly
chosen, and it is hardly a coincidence. The ten days after Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, are called the Days of Trepidation, all
the way to the tenth day, Yom HaDin, the Doomsday.
President Bush called his enterprise,
Crusade. This title invokes in our memory the dour knights of
Aquitaine and pious Frankish warriors, who took
Cross and with the name of Our Lady on their lips ventured into a long
and hard pilgrimage. Reality was worse. The Crusade was a Western Jihad
and it caused a lot of bloodshed. The Crusaders were wild and unruly,
they sacked the most beautiful Christian city on earth, Constantinople,
and they drenched in blood the holy ground of Jerusalem. A Crusader
chronicler Radulf of Caen, wrote of his comrades-at-arms, in the Syrian
city of Maarra, ‘they impaled babies on spits, grilled and devoured
them’. They were rough folk, and still I would like to save the name of
these killers and cannibals from being besmirched by association with
G.W. Bush’ Crusade. They never went after revenge, this most
un-Christian, even anti-Christian feeling.
The very essence of Christ’s Gospel was the
rejection of revenge. That was the great difference between the Church
and the Synagogue, these two sisters born two thousand years ago. This
difference is built in, it is the inherent most prominent feature of the
gap between the two faiths: while Christians are called to pray for
their enemies, Jews dream of vengeance.
In the intended ideological confusion of
last century, Christians are taught to think that the Jews wait for
Messiah who is Christ. Christianity teaches that He came and will come
again, while Judaism considers the Messiah did not come yet, that is all
the difference according to the teaching of Judeo-Christianity. But
reality is vastly different: Christ came to save, while Messiah comes to
take revenge. It was proven by the brilliant Israeli scholar, Prof.
Israel Jacob Yuval of Hebrew University in his new book, Two Nations In
Your Womb[i].
‘Vengeful salvation’, as Yuval called it, was adopted by the European
Jews from the old Pharisee sources and became the prevailing doctrine of
the Synagogue.
When Dr Israel Yuval
published his insightful book on theology of vengeance in Judaism, it
was accepted with great enthusiasm by his Israeli colleagues, but the
American Jewish scholars hated it. Dr Ezra Fleischer wrote a vehement
critique, concluding it with the words: ‘it would be better if such a
book would not be printed, but if it was printed, it should be sentenced
to oblivion’.
Prof. Yuval
quotes many ancient Jewish texts proving this point. “In the End of the
days (when the Messiah comes) God will destroy, kill and exterminate all
the nations but the sons of Israel”, written in the Sefer Nitzahon
Yashan, written by a German Jew in 13th c. A liturgical
poet Klonimus b. Judah had a vision of ‘God’s hands full of Goys’
corpses’. Even more dreadful dreams of blood and destruction precede
the first attacks on Jews in the end of 11th century. A
hundred years before the Crusaders’ onslaught on Jews, R. Simon b.
Yitzhak calls on God ‘to take His sword and slaughter the Gentiles’. In
order to hasten the destruction of Gentiles, the sages of Europe adopted
curses against Christians and Christ, and introduced them into liturgy
of Passover, Doomsday and even the daily prayer.
That is why the
decision of President Bush to embark of the campaign of revenge is not a
Christian act. One could argue that the President and his administration
are manipulated by the Jews, who dream of vengeance. Not in vain,
immediately after Wall Street was hit by kamikaze, Bibi Nataniyahu said
‘it is very good for us’[ii].
Not in vain, Ariel Sharon tried to compare Palestinians to Osama b.
Laden. Not in vain, Israelis demand destruction of Baghdad and Teheran,
of Korea and Sudan, of everybody who is not taking orders from Tel Aviv
or Washington.
A mystic would not
call it ‘manipulation’, but would accept for its face value the arrival
of Messiah of Vengeance in the unlikely figure of G.W. Bush. The Messiah
of Vengeance has actually a different name in Christian theology. He is
called Antichrist.
The Christian
theologians tried to delve in the qualities of this apocalyptic figure.
St John of Damascus prophesied, ‘Antichrist will come to Jews and for
Jews, against Christ and Christians’. (John the Damascene was a friend
of Islam and he explained Muslim dogma of eternal Koran as a form of the
Christian teaching of Logos). Church Fathers considered the Rise of
Antichrist as the rise and temporary triumph of Judaism. In 10 c., St
Andrew the Byzantine prophesied, ‘The kingdom of Israel will be restored
and it will become the launching pad of Antichrist’.
This proximity of
Israel to Apocalypse is felt by millions of devout Christians in the
United States. They learned that the rise of Antichrist is the stage on
the way to the Second Coming. But, being misled by their pastors, they
draw a paradoxical conclusion and decided to side with Antichrist. They
forgot the words, ‘the Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but
woe to that man’ who sides with Antichrist.
There are two days of
the Jewish calendar especially suitable for the vengeance. One of them
is Purim, the day, when according to Esther, the Jews slaughtered
75,000 Gentiles in Persia. On Purim, Dr Baruch Goldstein of Brooklyn and
Hebron massacred the devout Muslims on the Tomb of Abraham. On Purim,
the ministers of Germany were executed in Nuremberg. On Purim, two
hundred thousand Iraqis were immolated by the US Air Force in 1991.
Purim is auspicious, but Doomsday is even more appropriate for the
vengeance on the grand scale, for the massacre of Messianic proportions.
Soon afterwards, there is the feast of Succoth, when the Messiah could
be revealed.
Just one minute before
we declare Bush as the Antichrist and/or Messiah, there is one
circumstance that calls for investigation. We know now of some inside
trading in insurance and airline shares that imply a previous knowledge
of the forthcoming attack. We know of some advance warnings in the
Jewish-owned investment banking system. I can not imagine a Muslim
terrorist who would try and fit the schedule of the Jewish High
Holidays. Even less I could imagine the apocalyptic Antichrist and his
Jewish Cabbalist advisers buy futures on the stock exchange. It is
easier to seek some bad guys, not necessarily diabolic. Prudence demands
we should account for mundane factors before going to the celestial
ones. That was the preferred method of Father Brown, the hero of G.K.
Chesterton: before applying for a miracle, check material sources.

Indeed, there is no
certainty that President Bush is manipulated by the Jews. Such
presumption is based on idea that there is a non-Jewish United States,
‘America stand-alone’, manipulated and subverted by Jews. If it would be
the case, by miraculously excluding the Jews from public discourse, this
original America would be regained. Actually, the recent post-terror
discourse in the US is a hesitant proof to the contrary.
Many American public
figures, Jews and non-Jews alike, called for revenge. “There is
only one way to begin to deal with people like this, and that is you
have to kill some of them even if they are not immediately directly
involved in this thing”, said the former Secretary of State Lawrence
Eagleburger[iii],
who heads the Jewish organisation for claims to Germany, at USD 300,000
per annum.
‘The response
to this unimaginable 21st-century Pearl Harbor should be as simple as it
is swift - kill the bastards. A gunshot between the eyes, blow them to
smithereens, poison them if you have to. As for cities or countries
that host these worms, bomb them into basketball courts’ said Steve
Dunleavy in New York Post[iv].
In Washington Post, Rich Lowry proposed, ‘If we flatten part of Damascus
or Tehran or whatever it takes, that is part of the solution[v]
The best quote
goes to Ann Coulter, ‘This is no time to be precious about locating the
exact individuals directly involved in this particular terrorist
attack.... We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and
convert them to Christianity (!?). We weren't punctilious about locating
and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German
cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war’. She wrote it
in New York Daily News[vi],
the newspaper of Mortimer Zuckerman, the current Head of the Presidents’
Conference of American Jewish Organizations.
This vengeful spirit
of the American press is an aberration of the Western discourse. If you
sift the world literature of the Christian and Muslim lands, you would
discover that revenge appears rarely as the main subject of an important
book. Nikolai Gogol wrote a Gothic short story called The Terrible
Revenge, Prosper
Mérimée wrote a
novelette Colomba on Corsican vendetta.
C’est
tout. Brits always considered revenge a very un-English trend, certainly
not cricket. ‘Vengeful’ is a negative word in every Christian and Muslim
culture. The Jewish culture, au contraire, is saturated with the idea of
vengeance, as it draws straight from the Old Testament, without the
redeeming filter of the New Testament or Koran.
We Jews know it better
than anybody. A brilliant American Jewish journalist, John Sack noticed
it in his Eye for Eye, a chilling book about horrible revenge exacted by
Jews from the German civilians after WWII. This book tells of tortures,
‘extra-judicial killings’, mass poison and other horrors. You are not
likely to get this book, as the Jewish establishment succeeded to
suppress it and keep it out of bookshops.
Not surprisingly,
Israel promoted vengeance into its daily policy. Its attacks on
Palestinians were called peulot tagmul, the acts of vengeance.
One of these acts was perpetrated by the Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in
14 of October, 1953, when he and his soldiers murdered some sixty
peasants, women and children in the village of Qibya. The invasion of
Lebanon in 1982 with its 20,000 murdered Lebanese and Palestinians,
Christians and Muslims, was an act of revenge for the attempt to
assassinate Israeli ambassador in London. During last intifada, every
act of Israeli terror is called ‘retribution’ or ‘retaliation’ by
Israelis and by American Jewish-owned media.
This Jewish
infatuation with vengeance survived the hazardous crossing of the
Atlantic. The American Jews created Hollywood, and Hollywood made
vengeance its main subject. In a way, American cinema is an expression
of the Jewish collective subconscious, and it was the main factor in
creation of the American psyche. From Hollywood, vengefulness flew all
over the earth, and certainly helped to create the world we inhabit. In
other words, there was no need for a conspiracy. Rather immature America
could not withstand the impact of Jewish mentality, and she became a
Jewish State, the big sister of Israel. A grandson of Trier Rabbi, who
grew in the Church, Karl Marx actually prophesied in the 1840s
(!) that America will become a Jewish state, and will embrace the Jewish
ideology of greed and alienation.
It explains successes
of Jews: it is just natural that in the Jewish state, Jews succeed more.
This explanation
allows us to answer the question we posted previously, does America
support Israel because of the Jewish lobby or because of the ‘true
interest of American corporations’. The answer is, the Jewish lobby is a
superfluous body supportive of Israeli right-wing, while America as a
whole is a grander Jewish state with interests outside the Middle East
as well.
This presumption explains away a lot of
queries. It explains incredible 99 per cent vote for support of Israel.
It explains endless Holocaust museums, Holocaust studies and Holocaust
films. It explains centrality of Jews in American life, as now America
views world events from a traditional Jewish position, ‘whether it is
good for Jews?’
It explains the US walkout at Durban. JW
Bush did not mind to quarrel with Europe and Japan and went back on
Kyoto treaty. He did not give a damn to annoy Russia and China with his
unilateral decision to drop Strategic Arms Treaty. But here he heard His
Master’s Voice. This haughty rejection of Africa and Asia, this
insulting dismissal of the Afro-American community, this rejection of
the great cause of struggle against racism was an additional proof that
the US became a sister state to Israel.
Recently, President Vladimir Putin tried to
justify his onslaught on Chechens in an interview to Newsweek[vii].
He said, the Chechen leaders ‘publicly called for the extermination of
Jews’, relegating critics of his war to the ranks of anti-Semites. Now,
Chechnya has no Jews, and Chechen leaders’ opinion on Jews would be
irrelevant, if anti-Semitism would still preserve its original meaning,
i.e. anti-Jewish prejudice or racism. In this form, it does not exist
anymore, as we proved elsewhere[viii],
but the word received a new meaning. It became an equivalent of
anti-Americanism in the days of McCarthy, or as anti-Sovietism in
Brezhnev’s Soviet Union.
Whoever rejects new American paradigm, in
America or elsewhere, is an anti-Semite by definition. That is why good
persons of Jewish origin, whether Noam Chomsky or Woody Allen, St Paul
or Karl Marx are called ‘anti-Semites’. They are usually rejected by the
Jewish community, but their names are used to defend the structure they
attacked.
An offence to the Jewish community is not
considered a form of racism, as ordinary racism is tolerated with great
ease, especially if it is directed towards Arabs (new enemies of Jews)
or Blacks (old enemies of Jews). It is treated as a ‘lese
majesté’ (in the years of Jewish ascendancy in
the Soviet Union (1917 – 1937), people were shot for an anti-Jewish
remark). Manfred Stricker of Strasbourg campaigned to name the local
university after Dr Schweitzer, while the Jewish community preferred the
name of a Jewish scholar with a loose connection to the city. As the
result, Manfred Stricker was sentenced to six months of jail.
While speaking to students in Harvard,
Emory and other Ivy League universities, I noticed that they do not know
the name of Arnold Toynbee. The greatest British philosopher of history
in 20th century made an error: he spoke of the tragedy of
Palestinians. He also mentioned the African slavery as a tragedy on a
par with the Jewish holocaust. As a result, he was erased and
disappeared from American conscience. This totality of control over
public discourse explains obedience of American (and European)
intellectuals. For an intellectual, it is better to be called a
paedophile, but not an anti-Semite.
In the Jewish American state, the Jews form
its ‘Church’, its ideological establishment. I feel about this ‘church’
as Voltaire, who said, “Destroy the infamy” of the Catholic Church he
was born into.
In the Jewish American state, the Jews are
the most successful group of society. This sudden rise to glory and
riches should not be a cause for vertigo and self adulation. Other way
around. Following the line of thought of this great American
philosopher, Immanuel Wallerstein, I shall say: material success in our
days is a sign of moral failure. ‘Success’ and riches is not a sign of
God’s benevolence. Anyway, not of God who blessed the poor. A man who
succeeds in the robbers’ gang, fails in the eyes of God. Our world with
its starving millions and over-prosperous minority is immoral and
anti-Christian, as anti-Christian as the ‘Crusade’ of President Bush.
