Just in Case We Forget Who Runs Hollywood: Marlon Brando- "I'm Very Angry With Some Of The Jews- They Run Hollywood- They Should Be More Sensitive To People Who Are Suffering"

Right from the mouth of the Godfather... just as I say here and here. Don't forget about the influential Jews on Wall Street and intelligence. The reality is, if you look into the history of the CIA, you will see that it connects to Wall Street. Intelligence is connected to protecting the class interests and resources of the insiders of banking and corporate business. This includes the drug trade.

Important: also watch this video about the connections to Hollywood and the entertainment industry and Freemasonry. See here for how it connects to the internet. 

A Quote From Thomas Jefferson About the Jews (Hi Gad Saad and Travis Pangburn- Two Lying Psychopaths)

No one is perfect, certainly not Thomas Jefferson, but what did he see in some Jews that was questionable? Are we allowed to talk about this? Or, are your people eternally innocent and perfect all of the time? We always hear about all the problems of Christians and Muslims.  (By the way, Jordan Peterson, who blocked me, even sent a message out to the Muslims and the Christians. Where was the message for the Jews, Jordan?) 

Both of you (Gad and Travis,) are supposedly atheists, so what exactly are you two defending?  Travis, you are covering up spying technology, (along with others,) and individuals being attacked, tortured, and spied upon with classified technology for exercising their freedom of speech, what do you do besides promote debates? 


" [Some New England federalists] are marked, like the Jews, with such a perversity of character, as to constitute, from that circumstance, the natural division of our parties."  - Thomas Jefferson

In addition to the video below, please see here and here. Also, here is a good review of  Alexander Solzhenitsyn's little known about banned book called "Two Hundred Years Together," the review is on "The Jews in the Soviet Union."  You can find a free audiobook of "Two Hundred Years Together" here and here.  Another good article to read is this one, titled: "Stalin's Jews - We Must Not Forget That Some Of The Greatest Murderers Of Modern Times Were Jewish." This actually appeared in an Israeli newspaper.

“The Bolshevist revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a NEW ORDER IN THE WORLD. What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction, and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental and physical forces, became a reality all over the world.”— The American Hebrew Magazine – September 10, 1920

Winston Churchill and the famed writer and former Gulag prisoner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn have commented on the influence of the Jews in the Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian Communist experience that lead to millions of deaths. Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s 2002 book Two Centuries Together, the Nobel Laureate and 11-year veteran of the Bolshevik gulag expresses outrage that Jewish intellectuals were still refusing to recognize their ethnic responsibility in the slaughter of millions of Christians. Solzhenitsyn also denounces modern Jews who pose as victims of an “antisemitic” Bolshevik government when that government was in fact heavily Jewish and Jews were among the worst perpetrators.

Blade Runner Actress (Sean Young) Talking About the Jewish Control of the Media On the Topic of the Middle East and Israel

Rapper Wiley remains defiantly "anti-Semitic" : Claims 'I'm right, Jews do run the earth'- Read Article Below!

By DONNA RACHEL EDMUNDS   AUGUST 23, 2020 15:24

Wiley insisted that his bans from social media - far from chastising him - would only serve to further his message.

British rapper Wiley has doubled down on his recent antisemitic comments, insisting, "I'm right. I'm right. The Jewish community do [...] run the Earth."

Last month UK police launched an investigation into the rapper, whose real name is Richard Kylea Cowie Jr., after he took to Twitter to post: “If you work for a company owned by 2 Jewish men and you challenge the Jewish community in any way of course you will get fired.” In a follow-up Tweet, he added: “In fact there are 2 sets of people who nobody has really wanted to challenge #Jewish & #KKK but being in business for 20 years you start to understand [sic] why.”

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube responded by removing his official accounts from their sites. But speaking to the 1 Po show on YouTube, Wiley again insisted that there is enmity between Jews and Black people, the latter being oppressed by the former.

"I’m right. I’m right. The Jewish community does own a lot of s*** on this planet, and they do, with other societies, run the Earth. They own everything," he said. "I’m not antisemitic if I say the Jewish community’s very powerful, they own this, they own that – I’m not wrong. I’m not wrong. If I say there's Sheikhs who own a lot of oil - am I wrong?

“A lot of what I’m going on about is institutional, deep-rooted, systemic, it’s in-place anyway… I’ve never had a problem with anyone in business other than with some of the Jewish community that I’ve worked with,” he added. “The Jewish community does stick together.”

In an attempt to bolster his viewpoint, he referenced a 2018 incident in which Israel's Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef likened Black people to monkeys and used the word 'kushi,' which is used in the Talmud but in modern Hebrew is a pejorative. Yosef was investigated by the Justice Ministry over whether the comments constituted a criminal incitement to racism, and the Anti-Defamation League, among others, sharply criticized the Rabbi, calling his comments "utterly unacceptable."

But Wiley argued that the rabbi had received preferential treatment by the social media platforms.

“People had a problem with what I said the other day," he said, "and I felt they’re going to shut down this and this and this, but before even that I was on the ‘net and I saw the chief rabbi compare black people to monkeys. They didn’t take down his Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. When I saw that I learned something – you can’t make somebody care about your history more than they care about their own.”

During the course of the 34-minute interview, he insisted that the removal of his accounts was an act of racism against him as a Black person, perpetrated by Jews.

“Twitter, shut down – who owns Twitter, do you reckon? Instagram, shut down – who owns Instagram, do you reckon? Facebook – shut down – we all know who owns Facebook. YouTube, Google, who owns that do you reckon? That’s the first lot of people who have shown who they are."

However, he remained defiant, insisting that the bans - far from chastising him - would only serve to further his message.

“My thing was just to show my people, you know what, you know that unfair world? It really does exist. And once I say this, they’re going to try to shut me down, but in spirit, in life, ka-boom, I’m just going to get bigger. It’s been like that for time. It’s systemic. It needs to change. We all need to come together instead of throwing ourselves to them. They chew you up and spit you back out again.”

The video was published to YouTube channel FilthyFellas on Friday, who explained their rationale for hosting him in the video's description. "Wiley is an important person. He is the Godfather. He had a vision for music made by black people in Britain and he forged a path for so many people of all colours and backgrounds to create great art, make a living and really impact the world," they wrote.

"He is not without his faults and 1 PO SHOW and FilthyFellas will acknowledge them. In our opinion recent tirade was wrong and poorly considered and very dangerous. There is more to him than those Tweets though and we wanted to make sure we gave him the opportunity to clear-up as much of the mess has been left behind as possible."

They added: "We love Wiley. He means a lot to us. We do not condone prejudice in any form."

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon- Freemason and the Father of Anarchism on the Jews

For more about Proudhon see here.

"Proudhon's diaries (Carnets, ed. P. Haubtmann, Marcel Rivière, Paris 1960 to date) reveal that he had almost paranoid feelings of hatred against the Jews. In 1847, he considered publishing an article against the Jewish race, which he said he "hated". The proposed article would have "called for the expulsion of the Jews from France".

December 26, 1847: Jews. Write an article against this race that poisons everything by sticking its nose into everything without ever mixing with any other people. Demand its expulsion from France with the exception of those individuals married to French women. Abolish synagogues and not admit them to any employment. Demand its expulsion Finally, pursue the abolition of this religion. It’s not without cause that the Christians called them deicides. The Jew is the enemy of humankind. They must be sent back to Asia or be exterminated. H. Heine, A. Weill, and others are nothing but secret spies; Rothschild, Crémieux, Marx, Fould, wicked, bilious, envious, bitter, etc. beings who hate us. The Jew must disappear by steel or by fusion or by expulsion. Tolerate the elderly who no longer have children. Work to be done – What the peoples of the Middle Ages hated instinctively I hate upon reflection and irrevocably. The hatred of the Jew like the hatred of the English should be our first article of political faith. Moreover, the abolition of Judaism will come with the abolition of other religions. Begin by not allocating funds to the clergy and leaving this to religious offerings. – And then, a short while later, abolish the religion.

Bobby Fischer on the Jews - Read Article and Quotes (James Not Only Could He Beat You at Chess You are the Lying Scumbag and You Know it. You are Mentally ill, Not Him.)

See Quotes Below

Bobby Fischer is often painted as if he was crazy even though he was obviously very intelligent. So what is the deal with him? I  certainly don't agree with everything he says... but, he does mention some "nuggets" that are true. Specifically, who really does have power in the USA and what they are doing with this power. There is almost no other public figure that has ever done this like him.... that is why they have made him out to be crazy.

There used to be many MP3 audio interviews of Bobby Fischer on the internet. You can still find some of them if you look hard but many have been taken down.

Bobby Fischer is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time.  At age 15 he became the youngest grandmaster and the youngest candidate for the World Championship. He won the US Championship at age 20 (1963-’64) with a perfect score, which is still the only time this has happened in the history of the tournament. In 1972 Bobby became an American hero as he beat the USSR’s Boris Spassky, becoming the World Chess Champion in chess’s most legendary matchup. He held onto the title for 3 years, but he refused to defend it in 1975 as he could not come to an agreement over the conditions for the match, so the title was automatically given to his challenger. Bobby would become reclusive after that but did emerge in 1992 to beat Spassky once again in a rematch. His genius would continue to influence chess, but Bobby had become very disillusioned with the game, and he became convinced that matches were being fixed.

Bobby came to hate the American government, which he accurately saw as being controlled by Jewish influence, and was persecuted for his outspoken opposition. His assets were seized, his name was used without ever giving him any royalties, he was imprisoned in Japan, and the once-great American genius was made out to be a crazy kook. Bobby lived out his last few years as an asylum seeker in Iceland before his death in 2008. Many people think he was likely killed for his strong stance against international Jewry.

This is a collection of quotes from Bobby on the subject, though it is certainly not comprehensive.

“There is no United States as people think of it. It’s just a puppet in the Jews’ hands. It’s a plaything for the Jews. The US government and American Jewry are virtually interchangeable.” (Bombo Radyo, Philippines, September 11, 2001)

“America is totally under the control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they’re doing in Yugoslavia… The Secretary of State [then Madeleine Albright] and the Secretary of Defense [ William S. Cohen] are Jews. ” (Philippines radio, May 24, 1999)

“First of all, we have to understand what communism is. I mean, to me, real communism, the Soviet communism, is basically a mask for Bolshevism, which is a mask for Judaism.” (Press Conference, September 1, 1992)

“My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They’re not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I’m not just doing this for myself. This is life and death for the world.  They’re a menace to the whole world.”

“What is going on is I am being persecuted night and day by the Jews for telling it like it is… They want to put me in jail, they’re robbing me of everything I have; they’re continuously lying about me.” (Radio Interview, March 10, 1999)

“I have a crazy quirk, Eugene. I like to say what I think. And if you’re gonna work for the Jews, you can no longer say what you think. There are so many things you cannot say once you get on the Jewish bandwagon. There used to be a lot of people like me, but little by little the Jewish spirit seems to be conquering all.” (Speaking to Eugene Torre on Bombo Radyo Philippines, May 24 1999)

“I would rather be free in my mind, and be locked up in a prison cell, than to be a coward and not be able to say what I want.” (Radio Interview, May 24, 1999)

“The latest thing they’ve done is I had some stuff in storage back in Pasadena for 12 years, spent a fortune on storage fees, a fortune on safes… and the Jews in America have just gone and grabbed it all… You know, up until now they [the Jews] have more or less been satisfied to kind of attack my name, to exploit my name, to violate my rights, to violate my intellectual property rights, to violate my contracts. Now, this is a new level. They’re just stealing my belongings. Stuff worth millions, they just went and stole it. ” (Calypso Radio, Hungary)

“The Jews don't want me to succeed in any of my projects. They want me to be a failure. They want to utterly destroy my reputation for all time. America is just a Jew country. They’re a bunch of crooks there. The Jews control everything and everybody. ” (Bombo Radyo, Philippines)

“Jews are intensely selfish, intolerant, and antisocial. They are full of hate, greed, malice. Naturally, other people, i.e. the non- Jews, don’t like being bulldozed aside, robbed, and murdered by the Jews, and will sooner or later resist. That is where the lies and deceit of the Jews come into place. ”

“No lie is too big for a Jew, no lie is too small… Jews live by lying, and die with coming in contact with the truth.”

“I don’t think there’ll be any (world) peace until these Jews are dealt with. 

“Almost everyone who has been around me turned out to be a secret agent working for the Jews, working for the CIA… The Jews have planted so many of their Jew agents and CIA rats all around me. So many people… girlfriends, lawyers, everybody almost all, turned out to be working for the CIA and the Jews. Unbelievable but true.”

“My basic thesis is that the Jews are a criminal people, they completely control the United States, and they are using the United States as a vehicle to take over the world. ”

Famous Russian Writer Dostoevsky on the Jews

FYODOR M. DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881) was one of Russia’s greatest writers. The son of a physician of modest means, he had the opportunity for an education and was trained as an engineer. He remained close to the common people of Russia, however, in the experiences of his life and in his writing.

Dostoevsky was a fervent patriot, but his association with a circle of radical writers led to his arrest at the age of 27. He was subsequently sentenced to death, reprieved at the last minute, and transported to Siberia, where he spent four years in a prison labor camp. This was followed by several years as a private in a Siberian unit in the Russian army.

After his return from Siberia Dostoevsky wrote a number of novels, including Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1868), The Possessed (1871), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), all of which enjoyed immense popularity. It was his Diary of a Writer, however, published in a number of installments in the period 1873-1881 which most explicitly stated his feeling for his people and for Russia.

Dostoevsky’s Diary dealt with a great many issues of burning interest to his fellow countrymen, showing clearly the insight and sensitivity which made him one of the most beloved of all the great writers Russia has produced. Boris Brasol, who translated Diary of a Writer into English, has described the reaction of the Russian people to Dostoevsky’s death on February 9th, 1881:

“The news of Dostoevsky’s passing spread instantly, like an electric current, to the remotest parts of Russia, and a wave of mourning swept through the hearts of her saddened people… Enormous crowds attended his funeral: men and women from all walks of life — statesmen of high rank and downtrodden prostitutes; illiterate peasants and distinguished men of letters; army officers and learned scientists; credulous priests and incredulous students — they were all there.

“Whom did Russia bury with so great a reverence? Was it only one of her famous men of letters? Indeed not: in that coffin lay a noble and lofty man, a prudent teacher, an inspired prophet whose thoughts, like mountain peaks, were always pointed toward heaven, and who had measured the depths of man’s quivering heart with all its struggles, sins, and tempests; its riddles, pains, and sorrows; its unseen tears and burning passions. . . . “

As much as his people loved him, Dostoevsky, in turn, loved them — and despised their enemies and exploiters. Foremost among the latter were the Jews of Russia. In Dostoevsky’s time there were some three million of them, some descended from the Khazars, an Asiatic tribe of southern Russia which had converted to Judaism a millennium earlier, and some who had flocked into Russia from the West during the Middle Ages, when they were forcibly expelled from every country in western and central Europe.

The Jews had fastened themselves on the Russian peasants and craftsmen through money-lending, the liquor trade, human trafficking, and slavery. This was their preferred means of support — and many would say, their means of destroying the Russian people.

So great was the Russians’ hate for their Jewish tormentors that the Russian rulers were obliged to institute special legislation, both protecting the Jews and limiting their depredations against the Russian people. Among the latter was a ban against Jewish settlement in central Russia; they were restricted to the regions of western and southwestern Russia (the “Pale of Settlement”) where they had been most heavily concentrated at the time Catherine the Great had proclaimed the ban, in the 18th century.

This, of course, was regarded by the Jews as “persecution,” and it was their incessant wailing about not being allowed to fasten themselves on the people of central Russia which first moved Dostoevsky to set his pen to paper on the Jewish question. In the section of his Diary published in March 1877, the writer remarked:

“. . .I know that in the whole world there is certainly no other people who would be complaining as much about their lot, incessantly, after each step and word of theirs — about their humiliation, their suffering, their martyrdom. One might think it is not they who are reigning in Europe, who are directing there at least the stock exchanges and, therefore, politics, domestic affairs, the morality of the states.”

Dostoevsky, who had become all too familiar with Jews and their personal attitudes toward their Russian hosts, first as a boy on his parent’s small estate, where he observed the Jew’s dealings with the local peasants, and later in prison, where he noted the aloof behavior of the Jewish prisoners toward Russian prisoners, went on to speculate about what would happen to the Russians if the Jews ever got the whip hand:

” . . .Now, how would it be if in Russia there were not three million Jews, but three million Russians, and there were eighty million Jews — well, into what would they convert the Russians and how would they treat them? Would they permit them to acquire equal rights? Would they permit them to worship freely in their midst? Wouldn’t they convert them into slaves? Worse than that: wouldn’t they skin them altogether? Wouldn’t they slaughter them to the last man, to the point of complete extermination, as they used to do with aliens in ancient times, during their ancient history?”

This speculation turned out to be grimly prophetic, for only a little more than four decades later bloodthirsty Jewish commissars, who made up the bulk of the Bolshevik leaders, were supervising the butchering of Russians by the millions.

Dostoevsky correctly identified the secret of the Jews’ strength — indeed, of their very survival over a period of 40 centuries — as their exclusiveness, their deeply ingrained mental outlook upon the whole non-Jewish world as an alien, inferior, and hostile thing. This outlook led the Jews to always think of themselves as having a special situation or standing. Even when they were trying most ingratiatingly to convince the non-Jews that Jews were just like everyone else, they maintained the inner attitude of a people who constituted a special community within the larger, Gentile community. Dostoevsky pointed out:

“. . . It is possible to outline, at least, certain symptoms of that status in statu — be it only externally. These symptoms are: alienation and estrangement in the matter of religious dogma; the impossibility of fusion; belief that in the world there exists but one national entity, the Jew, while, even though other entities exist, nevertheless, it should be presumed that they are, as it were, nonexistent. ‘Step out of the family of nations and form your own entity, and thou shalt know that henceforth thou art the only one before God; exterminate the rest, or make slaves of them. Have faith in the conquest of the whole world; adhere to the belief that everything will submit to thee. Loathe strictly everything, and do not have intercourse with anyone in thy mode of living. And even when thou shalt lose the land, thy political individuality, even when thou shalt be dispersed all over the face of the earth, amidst all nations — never mind, have faith in everything that has been promised thee, once and forever; believe that all this will come to pass, and meanwhile live, loathe, unite, and exploit — and wait, wait . . . .”

Is it any wonder that, although virtually every American with a high school education has either read Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment or his The Brothers Karamazov (or both), his Diary of a Writer has been quietly consigned to oblivion by the controlled educational and publishing establishments in this country? 

Those fortunate enough to be able to get a copy of the book can read a great many more of Dostoevsky’s penetrating comments on the behavior of and attitude of the Jews in Russia toward the Russian people during the 19th century. Dostoevsky especially condemned the exploitation of the poor, ignorant, and helpless Russian peasants by the voraciously greedy and utterly heartless Jews. For example:

“Thus, Jewry is thriving precisely there where the people are still ignorant, or not free, or economically backward. It is there that Jewry has a champ libre. And instead of raising, by its influence, the level of education, instead of increasing knowledge, generating economic fitness in the native population — instead of this the Jew, wherever he has settled, has still more humiliated and debauched the people; there humaneness was still more debased and the educational level fell still lower; there inescapable, inhuman misery, and with it despair, spread still more disgustingly. Ask the native population in our border regions: What is propelling the Jew — and has been propelling him for centuries? You will receive a unanimous answer: mercilessness. ‘He has been prompted so many centuries only by pitilessness to us, only by the thirst for our sweat and blood.’

“And, in truth, the whole activity of the Jews in these border regions of ours consisted of rendering the native population as much as possible inescapably dependent on them, taking advantage of the local laws. They have always managed to be on friendly terms with those upon whom the people were dependent. Point to any other tribe from among Russian aliens which could rival the Jew by his dreadful influence in this connection! You will find no such tribe. In this respect the Jew preserves all his originality as compared with other Russian aliens, and of course, the reason therefore is that status of status of his, that spirit of which specifically breathes pitilessness for everything that is not Jew, with disrespect for any people and tribe, for every human creature who is not a Jew. . . .

“Now, what if somehow, for some reason, our rural commune [i.e., the institutionalized system of Russian peasant society] should disintegrate, that commune which is protecting our poor native peasant against so many ills; what if, straightaway, the Jew and his whole kehillah [i.e., organized Jewry] should fall upon that liberated peasant — so inexperienced, so incapable of resisting temptation, and who up to this time has been guarded precisely by the commune? Why, of course, instantly this would be his end; his entire property, his whole strength, the very next day would come under the power of the Jew, and there would ensue such an era as can be compared not only with the era of serfdom but even with that of the Tartar yoke.”

Again, how tragically prophetic!

The Famous Roman Lawyer and Politician Cicero and the Jews

Learn more about the Talmud here. See here for an excellent short video of an honest Israeli talking about the problems with the Talmud, Judaism, and Israel.

Cicero on the Jews

Marcus Tullius Cicero is one of the best known and most admired of all figures in Roman history and long has been the idol of major intellectual figures in world history such as John Calvin. (1) He also has the honour to have written one of the most quoted paragraphs in the history of anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism, which appears in his defence speech of the former governor of Asia; Lucius Valerius Flaccus, who stood accused of corruption charges and one of the specific charges was that Flaccus had prevented the jews of his province sending the tribute due to the temple of Jerusalem and diverted that money instead into his own treasury.

The intellectual tendency in dealing with this charge has historically been to claim that Cicero was merely using invective and rhetoric to get his client cleared off the charges. This is; of course, possible and indeed we can see the idea that Cicero's use of rhetorical and oratorical gesture; as pointed out by Marshall, (2) supports this to an extent. However, to make such an argument is to assume that the use of rhetorical and oratorical gesture as well as the art of rhetoric itself makes a charge false, incorrect or exaggerated.

This is obviously problematic as it assumes that the art of rhetoric and gesture is the art of lying, which is not so but rather it is simply the art of best representing your case to your audience. As such then Cicero is merely guilty of doing his best for his client and that we cannot blithely assume that he is making up the charges he levels at the jews.

What has not been generally remarked on; outside of academic treatises on the relations between jews and Romans, is that Cicero did not mention jews only once: he also mentions them in a speech he made to the trial of a noted friend of the jews; Aulus Gabinus, who had profited greatly from an arrangement with the newly conquered jews of Judea during his term in office. (3)

Cicero calls the jews a 'nation born to slavery' and states that Gabinus' actions; usurping the established process of giving the job of taxing the provinces to up and coming Roman politicians and military men [as governance experience] and instead awarding it to the jews, were tantamount to treason to the Roman state.

To quote Cicero:

'And as for the miserable tax collectors, (miserable man that I also am, when I see the miseries and suffering of those men who have deserved so well at my hands), he [Gabinus] handed them over as slaves to the Jews and Syrian nations: themselves born for slavery. He laid down as a rule from the very beginning, and he persevered in it, never to decide an action in favour a tax collector. He rescinded contracts that been made justly and he took away all the garrisons established for the their protection. He released many people required to pay tributes and taxes from such payments at whatever town he was living in or whatever town he arrived at and he forbade any tax collectors or they representatives to remain. Why need I enlarge on this? He would be considered a cruel man if he had shown such a disposition to our enemies, as he has shown towards Roman citizens. Especially towards those of the class which has hitherto always been maintained by its own dignity and the goodwill of the magistrates.' (4)

We can thus see from the above that Cicero is showing a not inconsiderable hostility to the jews; as a people, in passing and we may point out that by extension that Cicero's claims that Gabinus was a 'glutton and robber' (5) is based on the idea; later enunciated in his 'Pro Flacco', that the jews corrupt Roman officials with their gold. (6) In 'Pro Flacco' Cicero even refers back to his charges against Gabinus when he states that because the jews (i.e. Gabinus and his jewish supporters) had been defeated the gods had been pleased as well as placated and that the tax collectors were once again allowed to go about their unpopular but necessary work.

Cicero's reference in 'Pro Flacco' to the happiness of the gods at the defeat of the jews is reinforced by his point that his friend; Pompey the Great, had not touched the jewish temple or been infected by the ideas of Judaism as they were at odds with everything that the Roman Empire stood for and believed in. As Goodman observes this was quite correct: (7) as Judaism was the most extreme of all current barbarous faiths to the Romans with the only historical comparison being the vicious religion of Carthage. So dangerous were jews and Judaism considered that they were outlawed from becoming citizens during Cicero's time and for a while afterwards: (8) a view that Tacitus suggests was due to their wholly alien nature and religious intransigence. (9)

In essence Cicero was saying; in relation to Pompey, that any possible positive association with the jews was a significantly negative thing as the jews were classed as the lowest of the low by the Romans (ergo his comment about the jews being a 'nation of slaves').

This is both due to the fact that large numbers of jews had recently been sold in Rome as slaves and also because it was Cicero's own view. We know this because Cicero refers to the jews as active agents attacking senatorial and republican interests in Rome rather than just pawns of larger and more powerful interests. This is interestingly supported by Suetonius' assertion that the jews were very supportive of Julius Caesar (10) who Cicero was ideologically opposed to and regarded as a tyrant.

That Cicero saw the jews as a powerful interest group is suggested in 'Pro Flacco' when he asserts that the area chosen for the trial of Flaccus by the prosecution was chosen specifically so as to allow large demonstration by mobs of jews. (11) The problem with suggesting that this is a rhetorical trick is that in order for Cicero to have made the assertion: it had to be credible as otherwise its use was pointless. If the assertion was credible then there would have to be significant numbers of jews in Rome who were able (i.e. not slaves) to actively oppose a trial of this kind.

Further to this Cicero makes clear that he is making two points not one here: in so far as he states that the jews export gold out of Italy (and other provinces) to Jerusalem every year to pay their tithe to the temple in Jerusalem (i.e. enriching themselves at the cost of Rome). In doing so Cicero is telling us that jews had enough money to be able to do this (i.e. they were not slaves or among the poor) and there was a community of jews who were free and active proponents of their religion.

This is confirmed by a comment that Plutarch states Cicero made during his prosecution of Varres (lit. 'boar' or 'pig'); the former Roman governor of Sicily, who was defended by a Roman aristocratic god-fearer; i.e. a gentile who had sworn allegiance to the jews in all things and abandoned the gods of his ancestors, named Cecilius. Plutarch tells us that Cicero opened his argument by making fun of his opponent by stating: 'What has a Jew to do with a pig?' (12)

Cicero is here showing that he is aware that of the phenomenon of the god-fearers in Rome; as well as that they had some notable neophytes from among the highest echelons of Roman society, (13) as he calls Cecilius what he in effect is: a jew. If we understand that to Cicero: god-fearers were also to be counted jews then we can read Cicero's assertion of the 'mobs of jews' slightly differently. In that while large numbers of jews could possibly have been in Rome at the time; which this is traditionally used as evidence of, it is more likely that the jews Cicero is referring to is far less to do with actual jews and more to do with the numerous god-fearers. (14)

If we make the reasonable assumption that Cicero's assertion about the location of Flaccus' trial in relation to mobs of jews has some basis in fact; as otherwise why assert it in the first place, then we can suggest that nearby there would have been a significant amount of god-fearers and in all probability a smaller amount of jews. This means in effect that what Cicero was talking about was the local jews whipping up their sworn followers into mobs and going; as many would have likely been Roman citizens, to the locale of trial to influence the verdict against Flaccus.

This then makes sense of Cicero's assertion (as it tells us why he mentioned it and also why it was plausible to the listeners) as well as his known strongly pejorative comments against the jews in so far as Cicero even went as far in 'Pro Flacco' as to call the jews:'our enemies'. Or put more simply: the eternal enemies of the Roman people.

We may further note that Cicero's teacher was the anti-jewish Greek thinker Apollonius Molon: who wrote a whole treatise; which has sadly been lost, attacking the jews and had had a lot of experience with them on his home island of Rhodes. If we understand that Molon almost certainly taught the young Cicero about the jews and then Cicero; in the course of his public life and pro-republican advocacy, came into contact with jews doing precisely the same things his old teacher had described then his reaction would have been both as strong and as brutal as it seems to have been.

In essence Cicero took no prisoners when it came to jews and took every reasonable opportunity to attack the jews when chance presented itself and his anti-jewish comments in 'Pro Flacco' should not read as a purely rhetorical exercise, but rather as an expression of fundamental beliefs that Cicero held about jews.

Or put simply: Cicero didn't like the jews or Judaism one bit.

Peter Tudvad on Kierkegaard’s anti-Semitism

As I have pointed out before, (see here, here and here,) if you go back in history, you will find quite a few intellectuals would be deemed as "anti-Semitic" by today's standards. Many of them had rather harsh comments for the so-called Jews. Kierkegaard is no exception. (See his Wikipedia write-up here.) Is it because these people are uneducated or stupid? Rather than dismissing such remarks as the rantings of fools, maybe we should begin to ask ourselves why these people are leveling criticism towards "God's chosen people."

Famous French Enlightenment Writer Voltaire On The Jews

See the Wikipedia write-up on Voltaire here. I guess we should put him on this list. See here for what the former Israeli minister said about anti-Semitism.

"If we read the history of the Jews written by an author of another nation, we would have sorrow to believe that there were indeed fugitive people of Egypt which came by express order from God immoler seven or eight small nations that they didn't know; to cut the throat without mercy of a woman, old men and children with the udder, and to reserve only the small girls; that these holy people were punished of his God when it had been enough criminal to save only one man devoted to the anathema. We would not believe that so abominable people (Jews) had been able to exist on the earth. But as this nation itself brings back all its facts in its holy books to us, it should be believed.
  —Voltaire, Essai sur les mœurs (1756) Tome 1, pages 158–159

"[The Jewish nation] dares spread an irreconcilable hatred against all nations; it revolts against all its masters. Always superstitious, always avid of the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous, crawling in misfortune, and insolent in prosperity. Here are what were the Jews in the eyes of the Greeks and the Romans who could read their books. —Voltaire, Essai sur les mœurs (1756) Tome 1, page 186

"If these Ismaélites (Arabs) resembled to the Jews by the enthusiasm and the thirst for plundering, they were prodigiously higher by courage, by the nobility of soul, by the magnanimity: their history, or true or fabulous, before Mahomet, is filled of examples of friendship, such as Greece invented some in the fables of Pilade and Oreste, of Thésée and Pirithous. The history of Barmécides is only one continuation of amazing generosities which raise the heart. These features characterize a nation. We do not see on the contrary, in all annals of the Hebrew people, no generous action. They do not know nor hospitality, nor liberality, nor leniency. Their sovereign happiness is to exert wear with the foreigners; and this spirit of wear, principle of any cowardice, is so natural in their hearts, that it is the continual object of the figures that they employ in the species of eloquence which is proper for them. Their glory is to put at fire and blood the small villages they can seize. They cut the throat of the old men and the children; they hold only the girls nubiles; they assassinate their Masters when they are slaves; they can never forgive when they are victorious: they are enemy of the human mankind. No courtesy, no science, no art improved in any time, in this atrocious nation. —Voltaire, Essai sur les mœurs (1756) Tome 2, page 83

"You seem to me to be the maddest of the lot. The Kaffirs, the Hottentots, and the Negroes of Guinea are much more reasonable and more honest people than your ancestors, the Jews. You have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables in bad conduct and in barbarism. You deserve to be punished, for this is your destiny.[2] —Voltaire, From a letter to a Jew who had written to him, complaining of his antisemitism in L'Essai sur le Moeurs

"… [Jews] are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.[2] —Voltaire, Lettres de Memmius a Ciceron (1771)

"I know that there are some Jews in the English colonies. These marranos go wherever there is money to be made... But whether these circumcised who sell old clothes claim that they are of the tribe of Naphtali or Issachar is not of the slightest importance. They are, simply, the biggest scoundrels who have ever dirtied the face of the earth." —Voltaire, Letter to Jean-Baptiste Nicolas de Lisle de Sales, December 15, 1773. Correspondance. 86:166

Thomas Paine - The Famous Revolutionary on the Jews

"We know nothing of what the ancient Gentile world was before the time of the Jews, whose practice has been to calumniate (to slander) and blacken the character of all other nations, and it is from the Jewish accounts that we have learned to call them heathens. But as far as we know to the contrary, they were a just and moral people, and not addicted, like the Jews, to cruelty and revenge. -From the Age of Reason

“The Jews have made him [Yahweh] the assassin of the human species, to make room for the religion of the Jews. The Christians have made him the murderer of himself, and the founder of a new religion to supersede and expel the Jewish religion. And to find pretense and admission for these things, they must have supposed his power or his wisdom imperfect, or his will changeable; and the changeableness of the will is the imperfection of the judgement.” ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Nietzsche on The Jews

It is interesting that Nietzsche is so available in universities today and excepted by so many Jewish intellectuals. Many of these same Jewish intellectuals in the universities are against "Christian" antisemitism. I say this because many people seem to believe that Christianity is the birth of animosity towards the Jews. One wonders about their bias and forgiveness for the writings of non-Christian antisemitism.

The reality is, if you study Roman history you will see that many of the Roman emperors and even Roman politicians like Cicero had issues with the Jews. The question is, why? Is there something about their beliefs that could potentially cause them problems among others? To learn more about this, see here and here, (be sure to scroll down and view all the articles.)

Meet Some Famous "Anti-Semites"

Never is it ever noted or said how much the Jews are anti-Semitic against the Palestinian people. In this case, the Jews might just be the most anti-Semitic people on the face of the earth. Oh, but wait! Maybe these so-called Jews actually think they are the only Semitic people. That's the funny part because some of them aren't even that also see here. See here for how the word "anti-Semitic" is used as a club to silence people and stop them from telling the truth. There is one person that was left off the list from below that deserves mentioning, you can find him here. His name was Jesus and they pinned him to a cross. 

Tacitus - The Annals of Imperial Rome

 “The practices of the Jews are malevolent and despicable, and have entrenched themselves by their very degeneracy. Deviants of the most depraved kind who had no use for the religion of their predecessors, they took to collecting dues and contributions in order to swell the Jewish treasury; and other reasons for their increasing wealth may be found in their unrelenting loyalty and eager nepotism towards fellow Jews. But all the rest of the world they hold in contempt with the hatred reserved for enemies. They will not feed or intermarry with gentiles. 

Despite being overtly lustful as a race, the Jews shun carnal dealings with women foreign to their tribe. Among their own kind however, nothing is forbidden. They have adopted the practice of circumcision to show that they are different from others. Those seeking to convert to Judaism adopt the same practices, and the very first lesson they are taught is to despise the gods, shed all feelings of patriotism, and consider parents, children and brothers as readily expendable. However, the Jews make certain that their population increases.”
