at least joel stein has a sense of humour.
here’s “the transparent cabal” by sniegoski on the role of the likudniks in gulf war # II.
Wow! I concur that some of the stuff posted reads as if right out of Birdman’s rant(s) from that link. Quite literally, he’s got a pigeon on his head? (And pigeon waste in his brain, presumably.)
Economics 101: What is good for Jews as individuals is good for everybody. Because what is good for everybody as individuals is good for Jews as individuals. Its called division of labour and voluntary exchange–which “makes a great gain of utility [on both sides] without any change in the things exchanged” (loosely quoting H.H. Gossen).
althought the mainstream us media would have one believe otherwise, there are jews who will attribute anti-semitism to state-worship and interventionism. a betrayal ot judaism in the cult of nationhood. sadly, they’re more well-known in iran than in the us.
the haredi jews on statism and anti-semitism:
They aren’t jewish. Jewish means following Judaism in the context that you use.
There are many Jewish non-interventionist libertarians, as there are many neoconservative Jewish interventionists, and there are plenty liberal, self-hating pacifist Jew
This is correct, and painfully easy to confirm on one’s own time if anyone thought otherwise. If someone is insistent on disagreeing with this simple fact, they are probably not worth being reasoned with.
I wouldn’t be surprised if people would abandon Mises’ science with ease if it did not conform to their own pet sentiments; such as the Catholic and Jews being able to calculate and pull off the biggest and most complete conspiracy beyond the biggest conspiracy nuts wildest imagination.
non-interventionist libertarian jews and liberal “self-hating” jews have a scarcely audible voice in america, and no appreciable political pull. it’s the interventionist, israel-first jews who shape the agenda. as a result, all jews get tarred by the same brush. unfair, but true.
Is seems to me America is a better place than Italy because jewish power is better than chatolic power. And way better than secular power, looking at France.
all power, be it jewish, catholic, protestant, or marxist merits close scrutiny. criticizing the vatican can also have one accused of hating catholics.
There are specific problems with catholic values. The jews are just jewish.
Liberal* “self-hating” jews have a superabundantly audible voice in America. Look: socialists view Palistinians as the poor underdog and since many Israelis are professionals or landowners, socialists see the so-called Palistinian conflict as the fabled class conflict and side as good socialists with “the workers.”
That this is a figment of their imagination is asking to much of people without any analytical ability. The bigger the lie, the more people believe it.
Where to look? Why–turn on, for instance, MSNBC or CNN or tune into NPR.
*[in the sense of American liberal = social democrat, not Misesian or Hayekian Liberal.]
…and the libertarian, non-interventionist jews? where can one hear their voice?
it’s true that liberal jews often side with the palestinians as a reflexive distrust of wealth, but likewise true that their presence in media is no way as pervasive as the likudniks. point taken on npr, the exception that proves the rule.
the vast subsidies to israel show which faction really counts, and it’s not the liberal “self-haters”, nor the libertarian non-interventionists.
i recommend this video on which of the various jewish factions is most successful in getting its message across, and how.

to thelion:
are you in the non-interventionist, libertarian jewish camp?
“conform to their own pet sentiments; such as the Catholic and Jews being able to calculate and pull off the biggest and most complete conspiracy”
What year are we? 2010 After Christ? What month? What day? On what calendar?
Christianity has more than 1 billion followers, and buildings everywhere. Islam another billion or more.
Where was literature “kept” or “found” or “created”, everything we “know” about ancient history? In christian monasteries.
Until what century was Inquisition still active? 19th.
How is their control on education? A third of the education and schools are on their hands.
Is there any organization with more followers? No. None. Religions are the biggest lobbies, have been, still are. Even got their own private countries (Vatican, Israel).
No influence at all, none. Baseless conspiracies. I repeat, what year are we again?
it’s interesting to compare mises’ view with that of the socialist, einstein:
“Nations with a racial difference appear to have instincts which work against
their fusion. The assimilation of the Jews to the European nations… could not
eradicate the feeling of lack of kinship between them and those among whom they
lived. In the last resort, the instinctive feeling of lack of kinship is referable to the
law of the conservation of energy. For this reason it cannot be eradicated by any
amount of well meant pressure.”
Pretty spot on quickie.
I have to disagree with some parts of that video.
Yes the Federal Reserve sucks because fiat money sucks, but it is not outside of the realm of possibility that those who founded it were aware of its suckiness and its means of transferring of wealth.
Nor that children aren’t taught its suckiness in government schools. Nor are they even taught how to think critically (the trivium in the seven Liberal Arts).
I agree that solely focusing on conspiracies isn’t healthy and does not get to the root problem.
A hilarious quickie video refutation:
