Kevin MacDonald:It’s great to be Jewish in the year 2010. The latest evidence is the appointment of Elena Kagan as the third Jew on the Supreme Court. Philip Weiss puts it this way:
The Kagan appointment means that we have entered a period in which Jews are equal members, if not actually predominant members, of the American Establishment. Obama’s two closest political advisers are Jewish, Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, and are said to be his foreign-policy braintrust. The economy is supervised to a large degree by Jewish appointees, Larry Summers and Fed Reserve Board chair Paul Bernanke (Time’s man of the year last year, a selection overseen by Rick Stengel, the Time magazine editor, who is also Jewish).
Of course, that’s just scratching the surface on Jewish representation among the elites in politics, law, the financial world, the media, and personal wealth. Weiss goes on to take the standard line that Jews have achieved so much because of their bookish culture. But if there’s anything that stands out about Kagan, it’s how utterly ordinary she is in terms of scholarly accomplishment or anything else that would qualify her for the court–very few publications, no experience as a judge, little courtroom experience – the Harriet Miers of the Obama administration. (I stole that one from someone on the Rachel Maddow show, maybe Maddow herself. But it shows the depth of her inaptitude that even liberals are sensitive to it. For example, Paul Campos writes on the Daily Beast, “if Kagan is a brilliant legal scholar, the evidence must be lurking somewhere other than in her publications. Kagan’s scholarly writings are lifeless, dull, and eminently forgettable. They are, on the whole, cautious academic exercises in the sort of banal on-the-other-handing whose prime virtue is that it’s unlikely to offend anyone in a position of power.” Here’s my version: “When she received tenure at the University of Chicago in 1995, she had exactly two scholarly articles published in law journals — a record that would ordinarily not get her tenure even at quite a few third tier universities much less an elite institution like the University of Chicago.”)
Her only talent seems to be getting really prestigious jobs without any obvious qualifications apart from her ethnic background. And her appointment is a sure thing for the left: Whereas Republicans have been disappointed several times by nominees who converted into liberals (like John Paul Stevens), Kagan’s ethnic identity ensures that she is on the side of all things multicultural.
My take (see also here) is that this is an affirmative action appointment of someone who has benefited greatly from Jewish ethnic networking and has dangerous views on the First Amendment that are in line with the views of the ADL, the SPLC, and the rest of the organized Jewish community. (See also Patrick Cleburne’s post at VDARE.com.)
It’s amazing to see liberals expressing doubts about Kagan. (In fact, one wonders where these people were before her nomination was a done deal. Kagan’s name has been floated since the Sotomayor nomination, but suddenly we see all these doubts about her – mainly from liberals feigning concern.) She is clearly on the left, perhaps with some neocon tendencies regarding executive power. But that is hardly reassuring. Put these tendencies together and you have someone who could be very dangerous to an incipient racialist movement: Anti-”hate speech” and comfortable with using government power to suppress political action that conflicts with the aims of the regime.
Another thought that crossed my mind was that Obama and his advisers may have wanted to court Jews [bad pun] because of the fallout from the tensions with Israel. Despite the fact that, as John Mearsheimer recently noted, the confrontation with Israel was won hands down by Israel, a recent poll shows that American Jews are defecting from Obama in droves, with only 42% saying they would now vote for Obama (down from 83% who voted for him in 2008). A recent visit to the White House (”Obama Tries to Mend Fences with Jews“, NYTimes, May 4, 2010) by Elie Wiesel indicated shows that Obama sees a need to placate the Jewish community:
The lunch meeting between Mr. Wiesel and Mr. Obama came three weeks after Mr. Wiesel took out a full-page advertisement in a number of United States newspapers criticizing the Obama administration for pressuring Mr. Netanyahu to stop Jewish settlement construction in East Jerusalem, where Palestinians would like to put the capital of an eventual Palestinian state.
The advertisement, in which Mr. Wiesel wrote that “Jerusalem is the heart of our heart, the soul of our soul,” alarmed White House officials, in part because it came on the heels of similar advertisements from the World Jewish Congress and grumbling from members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, that Mr. Obama was pushing Mr. Netanyahu too hard.
Giving them yet another appointment to the Supreme Court certainly can’t hurt.

Zeitgeist says: “Notice the historical pattern – every nation which comes to be dominated by Jewish insiders and plutocrats enters in to decline.”
Zeitgeist says: “Do these ‘brilliant’ Jews never wonder why it is that America is falling apart under their leadership?”
Jews define themselves as a suffering people, hounded and persecuted by non-Jews through history through no fault of their own. Jewish festivals celebrate the survival of the Jewish people despite the malice of the non-Jews.
On the merry festival of Purim, pious Jews celebrate their survival, the death of their enemies as personified my Haman, and (peripherally) the destruction of the various nations the Jews have rubbed shoulders with across the ages. In song, each nation is represented as an animal, and one swallows another in turn, leading to the chorus: “and we’re still here!”
Internalize that. Mentally roll your calendar forward till a time when you too are part of the Jewish story, in the role finally assigned to the gentile nations. “… the bald eagle got sick and died, and we’re still here! Yayyy!”
The non-Jewish nations deserve to perish, because they are enemies of Jews. (Actually or potentially.) America is not really an exception. When you see White America go downhill far enough, likely after all hope of recovery is lost, you may see the beast of antisemitism, which has lurked in the hearts of Whites all along, reveal itself.
But even if that wasn’t so, so what? In the Jewish scheme of things, the non-Jewish nations have a time assigned to them. Unlike the Jews they are temporary and must end. They are wasting assets.
You do not need to particularly pious to have a taken-for-granted worldview in which the Jewish people are eternal though perpetually endangered, and the non-Jewish nations are often hostile and in any case wasting assets. That’s just normal Judaism.
That’s why admitting Jews into your ruling circles, such as the Supreme Court, is the same as agreeing that your nation should be treated as a wasting asset.
The value of wasting assets declines over time as their expected life is used up. You cannot permanently conserve a mine, for example, and there’s no sense in trying. You dig up the gold, or whatever it is, and then the worked-out asset is of no further use and you move on to something else.
come on Angry Jew- the obvious point here is ethnic nepotism is going on – at the same time they continue to complain about WASP networking 50 years ago- it becoming increasingly obvious there was never good faith on their part when the wasps said ‘ok’ we’ll be fair we’ll open up corridors of power we’ll trust’ the jewish elite essentially said ‘ha, sucker!’
Jews actively discriminate against and are trying to dispossess WASP/white gentiles – this is, at this point, undeniable. At the same time they still loudly berating us for non-existent ethnic networking – to the point where even places that are casually white – like objective civil service exam fire departments – are being broken up- it is pretty obvious what they are trying to do, and as Kevin MacDonald points out – the implications are omnimous.
Whether they would screw you over too for essentially defending our point of view is a matter of speculation – i would imagine they would .
“Good faith?” you seriously think there can be good faith over two generations? What do you think history is, some kind of bookie, or horse-racing bit? Man, there were issues, and they were dealt with. Now it’s a different issue.
Nepotism? From who? Has Kevin pointed out any damn instance of it with her? Her brother, husband, father, mother? Where’s the nepotism?
Now I do think you are largely correct about the social dynamics, but overall the Kevin MacDonald line that we are somehow doing this deliberately, is inane.
Kevin M. is correct over all, about what is happening. But I will play the same note I play over and over – if you want to keep on pushing Jews out, then what do you expect? I am a White Jew, and yet I am not welcome by either you, and by many many liberal Jews. So I have to stand on my own – and you’re not gonna reach out to me.
That’s what being Jewish is about. And you guys should thank me for pointing it out, and investing in you – since in the end the vehemence I get, should be discouraging.
When USA presidents run out of ordinary Jewish graduates, me thinks they will turn to Jewish taxi drivers.
One thing people miss is that Jews tick the “White” box, and hence claim to represent the majority just as they misrepresent “anti-Semitism” claiming ethnicity that belongs to ME people.
Obama should definitely be punished for putting the interests of a small tiny group before the rest of the Americans.
In 1963 90% of U.S. population was western European.Since JFK killed the
minority is becoming the majority.The education system supports minority not majority rule.The history and culture of U.S. has been degraded.Norman Dodd Reece committee.
Why should the majority become minority.The jews are a dominant aspect.
as Kevin Mac Donald describes,yet power,greed and secret organizations
which are gentile and jew are involved in conspiracy for NWO open borders.
The majority are gentile.2% control 98% what kind of fools are gentiles.
I have explained why things are as they are.Jews are organized and gentiles support the betrayal of gentiles for profit and NWO.North American Union.The jews stick together and have used holocaust as method to demoralize the gentiles with the assistance of Gentile government officials and the private business sector.JFK speech on secret organizations.The lie about the establishment of Israel is a joke.
The truth the jews used all means to drive the people of Palestine from their land.Benjiman Freedman speech explains why Germans turn on the jews.
The Talmud according Michael Hoffman states gentiles animals.
Gentiles in governments know this as the private sector does,and they perpetuate the lie.Kevin Mac Donald goes into all the details of jew methods,tactics.Why are they allowed.Gentiles allow it.
Gentiles support these method of the jews.The U.S. Government does.
Gentiles must organized with mandate of what they want and stick with
those policies.The elite support Israel and the jew lobbies.Gentiles
need to stop blaming others for their own deficiencies and create means
to put a stop to TREASON by gentiles and Zionost,jews,etc.
There is no solution without action by gentiles.Revolution in accord with U.S. Constitution is only solution because of entrenchment of secret
organizations in U.S. Government and private business sector,etc.The gentile
congress is totally corrupt,including the jewish sector.
Our nation is being destroy by immigration and outsourcing.Free trade and globalization must be regulated.Education and true U.S history
as prior 1964 and methods of education with requirements of that area.
U.S public schools third world is conspiracy to destroy American Nationalism is being destroyed.Israel racist and nationalist.
Israel present false reality that no longer works.I blame the gentiles for
allowing the jews to pull off the con job.I blame the elite and business
sector for illegal immigration gentile and jew.Destruction of America is
for shareholders to make profit and control forever by instituting NWO.
Stop immigration,regulate borders.Get rid of FED,Form new government

I wonder if Kagan will come out of the proverbial closet before, after or during her nomination process?
Kagan is a homosexual advocate, and rumored and reported to be a lesbian.
Do we really want a Jew open to, and advocating for homosexuals, and other sex perverts on the Supreme Court?
Angry jew:
Nepotism? From who? Has Kevin pointed out any damn instance of it with her? Her brother, husband, father, mother? Where’s the nepotism?
i said ethnic nepotism: here is the forward quote:
“The whole history of American Jewry is a tribute to the power of Jewish nepotism. Indeed, nepotism has been a positive and wholesome force in Jewish life for thousands of years. It is high time to acknowledge and even celebrate this fact instead of trying to keep it hidden like a shameful family secret.”
I am a White Jew, and yet I am not welcome by either you, and by many many liberal Jews. So I have to stand on my own – and you’re not gonna reach out to me.
That’s what being Jewish is about. And you guys should thank me for pointing it out, and investing in you – since in the end the vehemence I get, should be discouraging.
You think we’re treated any better by white/christian/gentile liberals AND conservatives for even mentioning this ?
http://www.forward.com/articles/7806/
that ethnic groups favor their own is not uncommon – howerver it is outrageous to demand and expect white/gentile/whatever to continue to disposses ourselves while jews are continuing to increase their own power and support their own ethnic interests while we continue to act counter to our interests.
Phillip weiss has been essentially drummed out of the jewish community for pointing out a lot of this stuff – (though his solutions and areas of concern are different hen ours in many areas)
I think most people, MacDonald included, who point out the problem of jewish power are not swastika waving goose stepping thugs- we’re seriously concerned about the effect of their power and the history of their hostility towards (arenda system in poland, bolshiviks are two small but very poignant examples)
I don’t think anyone in their right mind would have concern for you, paul gottfried (even though our views differ) or on the liberal side, say Phillip Weiss)
Personally I simply want to see the treasonous behavior against this country,the dishonesty, the corruption end. I want our universities, government, civic jobs to be fairly open to us again. i want a foreign and immigration policy good for us, not a particular ethinic group. That would involve being in conflict with a lot, but not all, Jews.
rumored and reported to be a lesbian.
“rumored”?

If she isn’t a lesbian she sure is fooling a whole lot of people.
Hey, AJ,
You donated $ to Occidental Observer yet?
“I am a White Jew, and yet I am not welcome by either you, and by many many liberal Jews. So I have to stand on my own – and you’re not gonna reach out to me.”
Look, AJ, youmust agree, somewhere down deep, that you are better off in a White-run country than a Jewish one, or you wouldn’t bother coming here to plead with us to accept you because your coethnics, liberals nearly all, won’t.
But Whites are being set up for slaughter, just as soon as we’re the minority. We can’t shoulder YOUR burdens for you. So, you use your strength, please, to help US by going and arguing with your coethnics to change their ways, so we all can get back to enjoying a White-run country.
Or, if you really DO believe Jewish-run is better for you, then please make aliyah.

@kratos…
A very good point. They “misrepresent” until they are in a position to represent, which is to say to “dominate”
“One thing people miss is that Jews tick the “White” box, and hence claim to represent the majority just as they misrepresent “anti-Semitism” claiming ethnicity that belongs to ME people.”
Angry Jew: “if you want to keep on pushing Jews out, then what do you expect? I am a White Jew, and yet I am not welcome by either you, and by many many liberal Jews.”
Are you a Jewish supremacist? If so, you ARE indeed accepted by most “liberal” Jews, most of whom themselves are Jewish supremacist (albeit some slightly more attracted to the Bolshevik vein of Jewish supremacy than the Zionist vein).
Jewish collectivism is Jewish collectivism. It may hop back and forth between the Zionist (Right) and Bolshevik (Left) foot, but at their core, their center of gravity, Jewish collectivists are Jewish supremacists. The only variation is the means by which they assert their Jewish supremacy.
If Jewish collectivism advocated libertarian politics, as did America’s Protestant founders, that would be one thing. But it seems allergic to libertarianism, likely because of its authoritarian, control-freak religious and social culture, and its culture of greed.
This attempted claim that Jewish collectivists, whether Right or Left, don’t always ultimately circle the wagons around the self-serving Jewish supremacist cause is a canard, and an attempt at misdirection.
This is why, for example, Jews across the political spectrum
http://www.realzionistnews.com/?p=494
have come out in favor of the totalitarian socialist Jew Kagan, whose own politics are simply a variation of Jewish neoconservatism.
http://www.libertariantoday.com/2010/05/kagans-sympathies-to-logic-employed-by.html
This is why, for example, “conservative” Zionist Jew Netanyahu is building a shrine to the Bolshevik Red Army in Israel.
http://www.judeofascism.com/2010/02/totalitarian-zionist-state-to-build.html
Tom Goldstein and Sean Wilentz are on all the networks as character witnesses for Elena Kagan. Nobody in the mainstream media has courage to call a farce a farce.
I might add, one doesn’t have to be Jewish to be a Jewish supremacist. Marxist Judeophile “liberals” and “Christian” Dispensationalist Zionists also believe that Jews are specially “chosen” or historically ordained for some special mission unto the dumb “nations”, and thus these are ready, willing, able and eager to betray their own people and countries on behalf of the cause of Jewish supremacy.
Treason runs deep in ALL Jewish supremacists.

There’s that word ‘brilliant’ again: Rabbi David Saperstein runs through a shopping list of superlatives on Elena Kagan — “self-evidently brilliant” and “steady, strategic and tactical” — before acknowledging that he doesn’t have much of a handle on what President Obama’s choice to fill a U.S. Supreme Court seat actually believes.

So why doesn’t AngryJew go over to the liberal Jewish blogs that reject him and bother them?
If I wanted a Jew’s opinion, I’d turn on the TV, or read a newspaper, or watch a Hollywood movie, or listen to the radio, or read a magazine, etc.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

Elena according to the NYT is already in like flynn. Also her firends are engaged in a campaign stop the rumors that she is a lesbian.
The people in Iowa, Colorado, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma and the other 44 states should feel fully represented in the US Supreme Court by this account in the NY Times.
310 million US citizens from 50 states will have a US Supreme Court comprised of get this from NYT.:
NO MORE US SENSIBILITIES JUST PLAIN OLD NEW YORK CITY ONES.
The four** are a portrait of the city, each carrying distinct
New York traits to Washington. “Kagan is so MANHATTAN, Scalia is so QUEENS
Ginsburg is so BROOKLYN and Sotomayor is so BRONX”, the author of a
biography of Justice Antonin Scalia is quoted as saying.. “They adopted in their
identities the whole New York sensibility.”
**NYT already is counting on Elena to be approved and the campaign to smear her as a lesbian is discredited bt her many friends.
“Kagan seen as brilliant and affable—and a mystery” is a great piece, if you think about what you’re reading. Even basic information about her remains unavailable – is she still Reconstructionist or what? – and the same people pronouncing themselves mystified by her – while uniformly celebrating her brilliance – have to cooperate in that mystery, otherwise the first questions any rabbi would ask end the mystery. (Hi, pleased to meet you, who’s your rabbi?”)
“Her interlocutors in the Jewish community say Kagan is Jewish savvy, but they are hard pressed to come up with her own beliefs.”
Imagine that with Christian denominations: the Supreme Court nominee gets interviewed by various priests, ministers and so on, and they uniformly pronounce her brilliant and thus implicitly deserving of support, and furthermore say she’s “Christian savvy,” but they have no idea what she believes. So they’ve asked her religious questions (otherwise they wouldn’t know the extent of her Christian savvy), and her answers don’t give any clues to whether she’s still Protestant, or if she’s become Catholic, or Orthodox or something else. They tested her Christian knowledge without asking any basic questions like “which is your church,” “or who is a Christian, and what does a Christian believe?”
Imagine Christians being satisfied with that. (And remember Howard Dean being pilloried – rightly – for his Bible ignorance and for having changed his Christian denomination over a bike path.) It wouldn’t happen. People would want to know specifics. They would be asking about faith, not tribal membership and smarts. And it would not even occur to leaders from different denominations all to collaborate in leaving things usefully vague so that a Member Of the Tribe could ascend to power regardless of her faith.
AngryJew again fires off nothing but disingenuous garbage. There are voluminous examples of jewish ethnic nepotism that have been pointed out by MacDonald and others. AJ tries to change direction by asking about Kagan the Dyke’s father, sister, etc. The conversation is about ethnic cronyism, of which jews are the world’s champs. Because they are self deceptive hypocrites to the core, and frankly, they simply try to shout down or ignore anything they don’t like. And they hate the truth most of all. Which is why they lie so much. Just read the posts the trolls provide us with.
Kagan is sexually deviant no talent who had she been white, would never have attended an Ivy League school. Back in 1993 it was shown that jews were admitted to Harvard and Yale at three times the rate they would have been admitted had grades and test scores been the only criteria. What do you think the secret criteria were that allowed all these jews to roll into what used to be top flight schools? Jews weren’t the only ones, as it was also shown that the “hard working” E. Asians were being overly rewarded by being admitted at triple the rate they should have been. No need to mention hispanics and blacks, we know the deal there. No wonder so few whites bother applying to these now vastly overrated brainwashing academies anymore. On one level they know it’s all b.s..
Yes, Elena Kagan is a perfect example of a no-talent riding the greased rails of jewish ethnic nepotism. Just wait ’til the now minority majority court starts enacting more and more anti-white hate legislation. The fun is only beginning.
I noticed that too. Phillip Weiss is sloppy with the facts.
James Petras has written a SUPERB article on the nomination; it should be distributed far and wide (along with KM’s).

Three women and no mothers, Harriet Miers was also childless.
They don’t make them like mother of three Sandra Day O’Connor any more.
I like big, fat, ugly Jewish lesbians who have a rabid hatred for the First and Second Amendments as much as anyone, but, you can call me crazy, I just don’t think that the US Supreme Court is a good place for them. Anyway, I think she could display her “brilliance” better from a distance. I’d suggest that Israel would be a good place for her, or maybe outer space, provided a rocket could be found that is powerful enough to carry such a massive payload into orbit.
Also, forget about no Protestants. The real story here has gone unremarked. Nobody seems even to have noticed that this appointment will make for a non-White majority on the Court; the three Jews, plus the Sotomayor hybrid and the Thomas Congoid. That’s just an eentsy bit more important than which flavor of Jeboo they happen to favor, doncha think?
