SMYRNA

THE JEWISH PRESS

Staples accused Strauss of teaching that the Philosopher Kings were born to rule (and Strauss included himself as one of them, according to Staples), servants were born to serve, and disaster resulted from letting the rabble get above its station. This, of course, is an accusation of racism against Strauss. "The idea that some Americans are less entitled to opportunity for 'genetic' reasons..." is an aspect of this philosophy, according to Staples. It also implies that criminals are born, not made, and they might as well be fried at the outset. This dark view of human potential "'...is poised to become a central feature of this country's social policy.'"

Assuming that the Foward got Staple's story right, he accused Strauss of being anti-democratic which would mean that he disagreed with the Declaration of Independence and its "all men are created equal" clause, as well as Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Social Contract and its pronouncement that sovereignty lies in the people. He was more of a "divine right of kings" fan if Staples is correct. But the Times and Staples aren't getting away with their allegations. Leading conservative and Jewish intellectuals "...see it as an attempt to find a philosophic scapegoat for the Democratic mid-term electoral disaster."

We at SMYRNA are amused. It seems that convoluted reasoning will go to any lengths to justify its practitioner's dogma. Why would anyone need to reach back to the Enlightenment in order to manufacture reasons for the defeat of liberals who have held Congress in bondage for many years? We are a little tired of racism being the cause celebre of so many blacks, from Staples to Jesse Jackson to Johnny Cochran of the O.J. Simpson defense team. Many whites are tempted to say to them: "We were not racists until you made us that way!" We should resist such an attitude, however, because it would serve the purposes of the conspirators who want social dissension, and it wouldn't be fair to those blacks who are not racists.

MORE JEWISH PRESS...

"RIGHT TURN AHEAD", under which appeared, "Liberalism is dead. Huge social service cuts loom. What now for the Jewish agenda?"

The "Jewish agenda" is very important. First, it tells us that Jewish leaders *have* an agenda - they're not just citizens who live and let live. Second, the article in The Jewish Week reveals a lot about their agenda. It is quite astonishing.

"Thanks to the depth of the voters' rejection of established ways," says the writer Lawrence Cohler, "Jews now face a whole new set of realities, whatever happens... Jews face, at best, a revolution in how they work to achieve the Jewish notion of a just society... For many Jews, this new concept of government's role in society would be at utter odds with the one they have known and supported since their arrival here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries - and even earlier. In Eastern Europe, their own shtetls functioned as mini-welfare states, with universal medical care, free education and welfare, providing a deep-seated model for their notion of government, writ large, when they arrived here.

"If the conservative revolution succeeds, Jews and their large, expensive service agencies must prepare to do business in an entrepreneurial mode ... For many Jews the wave of unbridled anger revealed during the recent campaign remains scarier than the election results themselves."

These are truly revealing statements! Cohler is not only saying that Jews as a whole are welfare staters in philosophy and practice, but that they are now afraid that Americans may wake up to their major role in this country's socialized government and it may not bode well for them. He quoted Michael Berenbaum, director of the United States Holocaust Museum Research Institute: "The concept in America, which has been so uniquely beneficial for Jews, has been the covenant model... Under this model, those who are productive provide for those who are no longer productive, not yet productive or unable to be productive. . .The question now is whether we will move from the covenant model to a survival-of-the-fillest model." Marshall Breger with the Heritage Foundation in Washington, agreed: "The Jewish community should not and cannot give up on its responsibility for tikkun olam," (repair and healing of the world) "I do not think the prophetic vision is irrelevant."

In one respect, the air of intolerance that has characterized the current mood is different from anything that Jews have encountered before in their long history: Little, if any of it, is aimed directly at them. If anything, Jews are invited into the majority tent and offered a seat of honor at the feast of anger. - Lawrence Cohler, The Jewish Week

THE MONEY SYSTEM

SMYRNA proposes a question: Because the Fed was a creation of Jewish money lenders, and because it apparently realizes enormous profits from its operations, is it in the best interests of Jewish leaders whom we've already seen have gigantic plans for the world, to maintain socialistic governments which must borrow the money to run the welfare octopus? Whether the U.S. borrows money for war or welfare, the Fed profits. Who gets those profits? How do we know what happens in the management of its coffers? Are its profits being used to achieve the Jewish Utopia alias the New World Order? Before scoffing at this idea, please read our Strong Delusion. Judgment without knowledge of its contents would be ill advised.

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Matthew Brooks: "Democrats have been good at speaking the 'Jewish language.' Now Republicans are starting to speak that language."

Barry Farber: "We have soldiers in the field. They organize. They run camps. They picket Farrakhan."

Marshall Wittman: Here is an interesting one. He is "director of legislative affairs for the Christian Coalition, the highest-ranking Jew in the Rev. Pat Robertson's religiously based political group."

Michael Medved: "The perspectives of the loony left are robustly represented in Hollywood - as evidenced by the triumphal career of Oliver Stone - while the outlook of the radical right is all but invisible."

Dennis Prager: Author and host of radio and TV talk shows. Considers himself a "passionate centrist" in politics and an "observant non-Orthodox" in religion. He laments that Jews vote by passion and fear rather than by thoughtful, reasoned conviction.

Lisa Shiffren: Coluinnist for the American Spectator, president of the NY branch of the Independent Women's Forum. She penned Dan Quayle's "Murphy Brown" speech.

Eric Breindel: Editorial page editor of the New York Post. Noting that the left had sympathized with the Soviet Union or with revolutionary regimes in the Third World, he became conservative. He believes that Israel is central to continued Jewish life.

CONCLUSION

The flip side of socialism is monopoly capitalism. That's why capitalists of the caliber of the Rothschilds, Schiffs and Warburgs financed the Bolshevik revolution that established brutal Communists in power. Americans have been fed the lie that socialism and capitalism are antagonistic. That's true of the capitalist concept of free enterprise, but monopoly capitalism has never been an enemy of socialism.

Make no mistake, Jews have an agenda for the world, and they look upon the U.S. as the best base from which to carry it out. They are influential way beyond their numbers and they are ubiquitous but inconspicuous. Who but the informed would know that a Jew wrote Dan Quayle's speech about Murphy Brown that got him in deep trouble? Therein lies a lesson if we would but learn it.

The Republicans who have now come to power in Congress will do no better than the Democrats because they will not go to the source of our problems - which are Jewish socialism, Jewish monopoly capitalism, and the state of "Israel"

"Warm" Jews Fill the Present Administration

[The complete transcript of the Ma'ariv article will be posted soon! --BeWISE]

Israel's leading Hebrew language newspaper, Ma 'ariv, in its Sept. 2, 1994 issue carried a story by Arinoam Bar-Yosef which was translated into English by Dr. Israel Shahak. The article indicates that the U.S. no longer has a Gentile government. It quotes the rabbi of Adath Yisrael synagogue in the Cleveland Park district of Washington, DC who said, "For the first time in American history we no longer feel that we live in Diaspora. The U.S. has no longer a government of goyim but an administration in which the Jews are full partners in the decision making at all levels." The rabbi went on to note that perhaps the aspects of their religious law connected with the term 'government of goyim' should be re-examined, since it is an outdated term in the U.S. The word goyim means all non-Jews, and the word Diaspora refers to the scattering of Jews throughout the world.

This is important information. What would happen if this situation were changed and the Arabs held these posts? Or, suppose evangelical/fundamentalist Christians held as many positions? Smyrna can state without hesitation that the media and other pressure groups would become apoplectic. Such a circumstance of influence would not be tolerated.

HISTORY REPEATED

The actual facts of the Spanish Inquisition have been misrepresented by some historians and by the popular media. From the Jewish perspective it was a horrible time of persecution, and, it is true that the methods used by the inquisitors were barbaric. But the flip side was the religious, social and financial influence in the hands of Jews and "converted" Jews (conversos). Inevitably, the two factions clashed.(1)

(1) See Kamen, Henry, The Spanish inquisition, The New American Library, NY, 1965.

Hilaire Belloc relates how Jews in England conspired to attain favorable advantage over the people. In his book, The Jews, he stated at the outset: "It is the thesis of this book that the continued presence of the Jewish nation intermixed with other nations alien to it presents a permanent problem of the gravest character..."(2) He gave two reasons why there is friction between the Jews and their hosts. One is the Jewish reliance upon secrecy. "It has unfortunately now become a habit for so many generations, that it has almost passed into an instinct throughout the Jewish body, to rely upon the weapon of secrecy. Secret societies, a language kept as far as possible secret, the use of false names in order to hide secret movements, secret relations between various parts of the Jewish body..." (p. 99) Although many Jews would say they change their names because of fear of persecution, Belloc admits this is perhaps justified in some cases, but contends that it doesn't explain why relationships between equally distinguished and equally approved Jews are hidden in the different societies in which they move. Why should Moss-Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, have concealed his Jewish ancestry? Or Charles Kingsley, the writer? Belloc gives an account of a Jew in the house of commons in England who spoke passionately against a measure to limit "aliens" [Does this sound familiar?]. He said over and over that all his people wanted was to be left alone. But Belloc recalls that manv years later this man's family was involved in scandal after scandal in parliament. Belloc declared: "They had been let alone right enough! But they had not let us alone." (pp. 37-38)

Did Belloc advocate harsh measures against Jews? No. Does SMYRNA? No. What is needed is for the churches to awaken and publish the truth about these matters so that the electorate is not deceived. Let ideas be free and balanced in the media and in the schools. Expose secret societies and organizations with truth. Truth is the most powerful weapon on earth. It is only the suppression of truth that enables charlatans to flourish. But Smyrna admits that though this is the only way to morally deal with error and influence. it is also the most difficult and unlikely, for it requires dedication, hard work and genuineness of character, and that's the rub!

REPORT ON BILL BENSON

As one condition of release, be must promise not to speak out against the 16th Amendment (in the land of free speech!), which he refuses to promise because of deep convictions. America! America! Where art thou?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

We hope that you will pray for our efforts - we have been having computer problems. Hopefully those problems will be tenninated soon.
