Talking about American politics without mentioning the Jews is a little like talking about the NBA without mentioning the Chicago Bulls. Not that the Jews are all-powerful, let alone all bad. But they are successful, and therefore powerful enough: and their power is unique in being off-limits to normal criticism even when it\u2019s highly visible. They themselves behave as if their success were a guilty secret, and they panic, and resort to accusations, as soon as the subject is raised. Jewish control of the major media in the media age makes the enforced silence both paradoxical and paralyzing. Survival in public life requires that you know all about it, but never refer to it. A hypocritical etiquette forces us to pretend that the Jews are powerless victims; and if you don\u2019t respect their victimhood, they\u2019ll destroy you. It\u2019s a phenomenal display not of wickedness, really, but of fierce ethnocentrism, a sort of furtive racial superpatriotism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A hypocritical etiquette indeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And then there\u2019s Kanye discussing his Jewish doctor and his prescription what he calls a \u201cmisdiagnosis,\u201d and the assertion by someone that White Lives Matter is \u201cAnti-Semitic\u201d \u2014 quickly retracted and changed to the idea that White Lives Matter is anti-Black.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>West is obviously not on our side but he is certainly to be praised for publicizing Jewish power\u2014and not backing down in the face of grievous financial damage.
