Two essays well worth the time to read: Diana West & Sonia Bailey

First, Diana West’s new article which is getting some notable people to call me raving about it.

And yes, these two essays share a theme. And the theme is antisemitism. But neither of them are the kinds of approach to the subject which we have become accustomed. The threat by the left made flesh by Mark Carney in Canada, Ms. Bailey explains well with antisemitism being an aspect of it. And Diana brilliantly exposes how modern antisemitism was in fact created as a stalinist weapon, including the word, “Zionist” as a slur. Both also detail Islamic antisemitism and for that matter, islamic anti-everything, and how it has been made to flourish under leftist leadership.

Rogan and Dhimmitude

I’ve been on a journey. It bends time and distance. It dries the eyes. It tries the patience. It takes healthy brain cells and makes them moribund. But I have persevered. From Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper in the fall, to Joe Rogan and Darryl Cooper in the spring, then back to Joe Rogan and Douglas Murray and Dave Smith (boy, was Dave steamed when Darryl’s name came up again), and still the journey wasn’t over. I have now made my way through Piers Morgan and Dave Smith and John Spencer, staggering only a little.

I’m off the trail now. I confess that today I could not make it through Dave Smith’s video-“response” to Douglas Murray’s New York Post op-ed. Perhaps you will understand if I compare the Murray column to the Smith video in minutes, which is how podcasters measure things. Murray’s 1000-word-piece was readable in a couple of minutes, even if you move your lips. Smith’s response was 51-minutes-nearly-an-hour-long. That’s an awful lot of Dave Smith, on top of an awful lot of podcasting.

Why did I do this? My smart friends would tell me I was wasting my time becoming mired in Dialogue & Praxis, and no doubt they’re right. But I wanted to see what the Powers that Platform want us to see.

From Hitler (and the Jews) to Churchill (vs. Hitler and the Jews), to Gaza (and the Jews) to Israel (and the Jews) to morality (and the Jews) to war (and the Jews) to genocide (and the Jews), I think we find not a theme but a bludgeon: the Jews. I should probably mention that while trailing behind this passing virtual parade, I was seeking refuge of a sort in reading Stalin’s War Against the Jews by Arkady Vaksberg — I say “of a sort” because while the book is remarkable, the subject matter is grim as a chronicle of evil and insanity. Or is evil insanity? In any case, I have been learning much about Stalin’s psychotic strategies to deploy anti-Semitism kinetically (destroy Jews), the Jews who slavishly served him and were also devoured by these same strategies, and, throughout, the malignant cunning with which Stalin activated anti-Semitism in Soviet society to create Jews as enemies, foreign spies, and also “Zionists.” 

 And yes, there are alarming echoes. Indeed, it seems to have been Stalin who turned the term “Zionist” into a slur, which is something to think of when listening to the Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi or Candace Owens.
