Trump’s Jewish Ties

Posted on by

The secret of Donald Trump’s media success: Jewish support.

JTA – Among the expansive field of Republican presidential candidates on display in the party’s first debate Thursday night, Donald Trump may be the most closely connected to the Jewish people.

Trump is from New York, works in professions saturated with Jews and long has been a vocal supporter of Israel.

[Lila: Trump’s father Fred who built the family fortune,  was helped by government subsidies to the housing industry. He must have worked in close concert with Jewish business interests because the government and Goldman Sachs were closely tied to the housing industry from the start. 

Goldman Sachs was involved in massive fraud prior to the spectacular bankruptcy of Penn Central, a transportation conglomerate in the 1970s.

Guess who picked up the pieces?

None other than Donald Trump, picked for his family connections to the local government and the real estate industry.

It is a November day in Philadelphia, 1974. On sale in a federal bankruptcy court are the largest undeveloped tracts of land left in Manhattan — the West Side rail yards, stretching along the waterfront from 30th to 39th streets and 59th to 72nd streets. One of these properties — the 30th Street parcel — has since become the designated site for the city’s convention center. The other is being promoted as a 5,000-unit housing project surrounded by parks and a shopping area.

The seller is the bankrupt Penn Central Transportation Company (PCTC), which is attempting to reorganize itself by turning it’s real-estate portfolio into capital. The buyer is Donald Trump, then 28 years old, the son of Brooklyn’s largest apartment builder.

Trump proposes to build up to 30,000 units of partially subsidized housing on the sites. He seeks an exclusive option on the property and offers Penn Central the promise that he will obtain the required zoning changes and taxpayer subsidies to guarantee a minimum land-purchase price of $62 million — the least he expects to obtain in government mortgage funds. Trump’s firm advances no cash.

But, of course, without City Hall’s cooperation, this remarkable proposal would have remained just that. Trump’s father, Fred, had known Abe Beame, then the mayor, for some 30 years — and had been a campaign contributor for 20; the firm is tied to the same Brooklyn Democratic machine which spawned Beame’s political career. Trump’s attorney Bunny Lindenbaum, seated beside him in the courtroom that morning, is Beame’s oldest and closest friend. Penn Central representatives began negotiating with Trump two weeks after Beame became mayor. Trump’s option is scheduled to end when Beame’s term is up. There can be no misunderstanding: Trump, in that Philadelphia courtroom, was executing a political option.”

Murray Kushner, a New Jersey real estate mogul (uncle to Jared and brother to Charles Kushner, who went to jail over financial improprieties and essentially bought his son’s academic career), gave Fred and Donald Trump a leg up.

Roy Cohn defended Donald Trump at the outset.

It is an easy thing to make money, if your investments are backed by the government.]

His daughter and two grandchildren are Jewish, the executive vice president of his organization is Jewish — and Trump certainly has chutzpah.

[Both Trump children are married to Jews.  Ivanka Trump is married to New York Observer publisher and real estate developer, Jared Kushner, son of Charles Kushner.

Eric Trump is married to Inside Edition’s producer, Lara Yunaska.

Trump’s executive vice-president and the man behind is campaign is a Jewish lawyer – Michael Cohen. He’s a registered Democrat who voted for Obama.  Trump’s CFO is also Jewish – Alan Weisselberg. ]

But if you expect to find Jewish donors of influence in Trump’s network of associates, you’ll be disappointed: The billionaire’s campaign is self-financed, not donor-funded. Forbes estimates Trump’s net worth at about $4 billion; Trump says he’s worth $10 billion.

[A recent Forbes analysis of Trump’s assets shows that Trump’s investments were less successful than those of the man on the street.]

As the main attraction of the Republican debate, Trump’s trademark chutzpah was on sharp display. When asked about past references to women he dislikes as “fat pigs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals,” Trump said he has no time for political correctness. He bragged about how Hillary Clinton dared not miss his most recent wedding because he donated to her campaign. And he refused to rule out running as a third-party candidate should someone else win the Republican nomination.

Given his myriad Jewish associations, Trump is not an unfamiliar face in Jewish circles. He has served as a grand marshal at New York’s annual Salute to Israel Parade. After Hurricane Katrina, he was among a group of celebrities who decorated Jewish federation tzedakah boxes to be auctioned off to support hurricane disaster relief. And in February, he was honored with an award at the annual gala for the Algemeiner, a right-wing Jewish news organization.

“I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan, but I’m very glad it happened,” Trump said at the event, held in Manhattan. On Israel, he said, “We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”

[Lila: The pronoun is a bit rich. Trump dodged the draft and any fight for Israel will be undertaken by the children of the mindless minions cheering on this wretched clown .]

Before the 2013 Israeli election, Trump recorded a video message endorsing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“You truly have a great prime minister in Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s a winner, he’s highly respected, he’s highly thought of by all,” Trump said in the 30-second spot. “Vote for Benjamin – terrific guy, terrific leader, great for Israel.”

Another point. Trump wants Carl Icahn to be his Treasurer.

 

 

Trump – Mobbed-Up, Crony Capitalist Fraud

Posted on by

This comes from an investigative journalist who is a leftist Bernie Sanders fan, but the facts speak for themselves:

For example, how many of our readers knew that Trump was successfully sued by the Attorney General of New York for running an “illegal educational institution”? Students at “Trump University” paid a whopping $35,000 for “Elite” mentorships – but never even saw their mentor. And here’s a juicy little fact that fans of The Godfather and The Sopranos should appreciate: the contracting firm that constructed Trump Tower was owned by a pair of gentlemen who went by the monikers of “Fat Tony” Salerno and “Big Paul” Castellano.

When it comes to charity, Trump doesn’t even donate to his own foundation. Instead, he donates other people’s money – specifically, those who do business with him.

Can you say, “kickbacks”?

It only gets better: Trump was found guilty in federal court of cheating immigrant workers hired to demolish a multi-story building. He paid them less than $5 per hour under the table. He didn’t even furnish them with hard hats.  Oh, and all that talk from Trump about how he’s a “self-made billionaire”? It turns out that he had a bit of help from the taxpayers of New York. The mayor of NYC at the time, Abe Beame, happened to be good buddies with Donny-boy’s Daddy, Fred Trump. That little connection got Donald a tax abatement on a mid-town Manhattan property (right next door to Grand Central Station) in 1976. That was the old Commodore Hotel, which today is the Grand Hyatt New York. As of 2016, that little deal that his daddy made for him will have cost taxpayers $400 million.

So much for being a “self-made” billionaire.

Incidentally, Donald – how do you explain the fact that you paid zero income tax in 1978 and 1979, when you were busy remodeling that fancy Manhattan hotel? In fact, how do you explain not being able to pay your bills back in 1990, despite being a billionaire? And maybe you’d like to clarify to voters how you managed to run not one, but four companies into the ground? You want to run the country like you run business?

Heavens help us if that scenario ever came to pass.

At age 66, David Cay Johnston has not lost his edge when it comes to asking the hard questions. You can read all 21 of them, along with more details, right here. However, don’t expect the mainstream corporate media to be putting them to the Trumpster anytime soon.

Chances are, he’d just side-step them or refuse to answer anyway.

Watch Thom Hartmann address the issue of Trump and the mob, and The Young Turks address how Trump’s money was actually made by his father and Trump has actually invested it poorly.

 

Addition to Original Piece:

Andrew Reinbach, a journalist who published an article in the Huffington Post on this topic in April 2011, sent Ring of Fire an email adding the following information to this piece:

Trump Tower was not built by a company owned by Tony Salerno and Paul Castellano. Trump Tower’s general contractor was, I believe, The Trump Organization, itself. HRH Construction–the firm owned by Salerno and Castellano–supplied the concrete for the poured-concrete building. At the time, that company was the only supplier of concrete in Manhattan.

Salerno also controlled the Demolition Workers Local 95, and Trump had hired a demolition contractor from Herkimer, NY to handle demolition of Bonwit Teller, the old, distinguished department store that occupied part of the Trump Tower site. That’s who supplied illegal Polish immigrants to the project.

There’s no room to store supplies on the reconstruction site of a Manhattan tower, so daily supplies are trucked in from New Jersey on a very tight, orchestrated schedule geared to that day’s operations. Those truckers are of course Teamsters. But in one of America’s strongest union towns, Trump Tower experienced no labor problems, even though non-union labor was used.

So the lingering question has been: How did that happen? The answer is probably Tony Salerno and the lawyer he shared with Donald Trump–Roy Cohn. There is no way a violation of labor peace like this could have gone forward unless someone in a powerful position gave the go-ahead.

UPDATE

I see that Lew Rockwell is now linking to a piece calling Trump a fraud.

Good. I wish there was  a little less sound and fury about the tools being used by the Sanhedrin and a lot more about the Sanhedrin.

ORIGINAL POST

Lew Rockwell claims Clinton was “less bad” than Bush senior.

Really?

Under Clinton, Iraq was destroyed with crippling sanctions that killed more people than Gulf War I.

Under Clinton, liberals took over the machinery of power, and espionage and financial theft were rampant.

Bush Senior, however, bad, made some feeble attempts to stand up to the Jewish lobby.

Rockwell is sorely mistaken.

First, there was the 2012 campaign that many of us think enabled the re-election of Obama. Then after Paul’s pandering to Romney throughout, Rockwell back-pedalled and claimed Paul had refused Romney’s offers.

The Clinton era enabled the financialization of the economy, which was a way for the Jewish power entity (as a group, not individuals or ordinary people) to undermine and hollow out the manufacturing section and control it, through debt, credit, the ratings game, market rigging, LIBOR fixing, and all the other tricks of the NWO cartel.

I couldn’t care less for the GOP. I care even less for the DEMs.

But it amounts to NWO sycophancy to claim Clinton is “better” in anything.

What with the republishing of sites with large amounts of disinformation like Altucher and Zero-Hedge and the celebration of monarchy and (via proxy Bionic Mosquito) the Merovingians (Rothschild blood-line), you have to wonder what is going on there.

Nothing we haven’t known since 2008, though.

 

Matt Walsh: Trump Fans Are Embarrassing Conservatism

Posted on by

Matt Walsh rises to the top of the class in this outstanding commentary on Trump – the best I’ve read yet.

If only the rest of the conservative-libertarian chumps woke up and smelled the phony:

Illegal Mexicans are bringing crime. Got it. Agreed. But what about, like, everything else that’s going on? Anything on that, Trump? Anything?

Well, to be fair, The Donald has on rare occasion given the public a more in depth look at his views. For instance, he wrote a book back in 2000 where he discourses about the need for assault weapons bans, legal abortion, socialized medicine, and higher taxes.

This is your right wing hero, friends. But you shouldn’t be surprised. This is the man who spent the better part of the previous two decades using his money to keep Democrats in power.

He’s given a considerable amount to Republicans as well, but that doesn’t negate or mitigate the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars this “conservative businessman” gifted to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanual, Chuck Schumer, Charles Rangel, and other liberal darlings. He didn’t just vocally support liberal policies prior to his recent foray into Republican politics; he actively worked to empower the progressive tyrants who would enact those policies.

In fact, a look at Trump’s financial activity reveals that he was an especially active Democrat booster during the 2006 midterms; the election that put Reid and Pelosi in power. Meanwhile, Trump has solidified his conservative credentials by coming out, at various points, in favor of eminent domain, bailouts, and executing government whistle blowers.

So, alright, he’s a draft dodging, twice divorced reality star who supports gun control and abortion and corporate welfare, and who donates to Democrats, gives money hand over fist to the Clinton Foundation, and has worked tirelessly for many years to keep the worst sorts of liberals in office. At least, he was all of these things until about four years ago, when he decided to start scamming conservatives.”

And later in the same piece:

To quote Chesterton:

You will hear everlastingly that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man.

Chesterton wrote that a hundred years ago, and I’m now convinced he composed it after being plagued with a prophetic nightmare about a future scam artist named Donald Trump.

And if Trump can question a man’s wartime heroism, isn’t it fair to point out that he was born rich? Trump came from wealth and managed to stay wealthy with the help of bankruptcy and reality TV. Nice. Congratulations. But if Trump can prefer soldiers who don’t get captured, I think I’m within my rights to prefer arrogant, haughty, dishonest billionaires who didn’t start off as spoiled, private schooled elites.

That’s just me, though. We all have our preferences. And really, I have a distaste for all arrogant, haughty, dishonest billionaires who want to be president, whether they’re self-made or, like Trump, got a head start from daddy.

Yes, Donald Trump says dumb things, but my issue with him goes much deeper than mere words. My issue is that he’s a spurious liberal swindler with little character, no integrity, no credibility, counterfeit ideas, and a feeble grasp on the issues. He does not deserve your support. He has done nothing for it, except spew a million hollow platitudes into a loudspeaker hoping a certain percentage of them resonate with the disaffected right wing masses. If you think that qualifies a man for the presidency, I don’t know what to tell you.

Yes, I know you are sick of typical politicians who lie and cheat and avoid taking a stand when it matters. I get it. I am too. And that’s exactly why you should be sick of Donald Trump.”

Angela Merkel: Stasi Informant

Posted on by

Dialog International.com reproduces the thesis of a recent biography alleging that Angela Merkel’s father used his church as the terrain on which he spied for the East German government:

I have always been curious about Angela Merkel’s background in the former GDR.  Did she always have pro-American, Christian democratic beliefs?  If so, did she suffer any consequences for these beliefs in the repressive GDR system?  Was she spied on by the Stasi?  Was she close to democratic dissidents like Wolf Biermann or Robert Havemann?  Some of these questions are answered in Gerd Langguth’s biography: Angela Merkel.

The key to unlocking the mystery of Angela Merkel is her father, the Protestant Minister Horst Kasner, who emigrated from West Germany to the East Zone in 1954, where he began an effort to “rehabilitate” the church – making it acceptable to the Stalinist SED ruling party.  The church under Kasner thus became another instrument of state domination, and Kasner benefitted greatly from his elite status within the political apparatus.  Kasner’s family also reaped the benefits: luxury home, two cars (most GDR citizens had to wait years for just one Trabant), trips to Italy and other countries outside the socialist bloc.  Angela was able to attend the elite school (Erweiterte Oberschule) along with the sons and daughters of important party functionaries.  Langguth describes how Horst Kassner worked closely together with Stasi informant Clemens de Maiziere on forming the SED church policy. De Maiziere’s son Lothar would later play a decisive role in Angela’s life during his brief stint as DDR-Premier (before he too was exposed as a Stasi informant).

What is interesting about Angela’s formative years is the utter banality and conformity of her life.  While the Perestroika movement was shaking the foundation of the GDR and led to a creative renaissance with novels (Jurek Becker), films and theater(Plenzdorf) , Angela was blithely studying physics at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig, where she was active in the SED youth organization.  Fellow students recall that Angela was Secretary for Agitation and Propaganda and procured theater tickets for her comrades, but her files from that period have mysteriously vanished. 

Her one act of rebellion against her father occured after Die Wende when she joined the new party Demokratischer Aufbruch (DA), started by another Stasi informant Wofgang Schnur.  As Langguth points out, this was a shrewd move on her part, since she could hedge her bets by not joining one of the West parties should the DDR have remained a separate country.  After Lothar de Maiziere made her his deputy spokesperson and the DA became subsumed in the Christian Democrats, Angela caught the attention of Helmut Kohl and the rest is history.  Angela Merkel – a daughter of Stalinist privilege, now the leader of the conservative CDU and quite possibly Germany’s next chancellor. ”

[Lila: This was written before Merkel became German Chancellor]

More in this piece at the World Socialist Web on the nexus between the evangelical church and the East German government that allowed members to spy on the congregation, exert pressure in political circles, and groom Merkel for her own career.

Dystopiaearth.com has more incriminating details, this time from her academic career:

What most Germans don’t know, however, is that Hans-Jörg Osten was her Professor and close confidante at the Academy of Sciences where she was a student. And what they only found out yesterday is that Osten was a paid agent of the Stasi – with documentary evidence from the files to prove it.

ostenStasidoc

In the files (extracted left) her physics professor and fellow FDJ bigwig is unmasked as a spy using the cover name ‘Einstein’.

Today, Hans-Jörg Osten is 56 years old, and a professor at the Leibniz University of Hanover.

The documents go on to say that he was recruited ‘on the basis of the political-ideological cooperation…in his operating activities, he is mainly useful on defence issues, and for the development of people working files. He was always a very reliable worker.’ The ‘defence issues’ thing is a reference to time spent by Osten working in the US. During this period, he was a Stasi spy.

Contemporaries suggest that Merkel had “an unusually close” relationship with her married Professor. Indeed, this tendency of unsere geliebte Geli to stick like a limpet to the big mines before disarming them has been recorded several times before at The Slog.”

Merkel was to go on to spy for the KGB, even on other agents, one of whom was her first husband, and then to parlay her espionage contacts and technical knowledge (a PHD in quantum chemistry) into a political career.

The further suspicion is that her  Stasi/KGB past is behind her suspected blackmail by Mossad into supporting strongly pro-Israeli positions.

Angela Merkel: Crypto-Communist Converso

Posted on by

Unmasking the shills of the new world order is not a terribly difficult task.

One of the first and most obvious signs is duplicity in the image they present to the world.

To the world, Angela Merkel is the Christian socialist East German hausfrau of good bourgeois sense.

None of this is true.

Merkel was raised a communist, not a Christian.

She is not fully German, but of mixed Polish and Jewish descent, I believe, on both sides of her family.

[Almost always the shills have some Jewish ethnic ancestry or enjoy close ties to the Anglo-Zionist cartel.

Again, this is not a slam at Judaism. I am talking about ethnic descent. Merkel is a Lutheran.]

Merkel is no bourgeois.

She was raised in a very left-wing feminist atmosphere, patronizing nude beaches when she was young and openly cohabiting with both her spouses before marriage.

This is not moralism about her personal life. It is to point out the contrast with her public persona.

Examine the facts:

Angela Merkel was born Angela Kasner of Polish descent:

Merkel was born Angela Dorothea Kasner in 1954 in Hamburg, West Germany, the daughter of Horst Kasner (1926–2011),[16][17] a native of Berlin, and his wife Herlind, born in 1928 in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) as Herlind Jentzsch, a teacher of English and Latin……Merkel has Polish ancestry through her paternal grandfather, Ludwig Kasner, a German national[19] of Polish origin from Posen (now Poznan).[20] The family’s original name Kazmierczak was Germanized to Kasner in 1930.[21][22]

[Wikipedia].

However, Kazmierczak is not just Polish.

It is specifically an ethnic Jewish name:

Kazmierczak derives from Kazimierz, a major Jewish city in Poland, made especially for Jews outside of Cracow. Kazimierz (Latin: Casimiria; Yiddish Kuzmir) is a historical district of Kraków (Poland), best known for being home to a Jewish community from the 14th cent.”

The Jewish name Kazmierczak apparently derives from the Hebrew word Chazan.

It was the name given to the profession of  cantor in a synagogue.

This master list of Central European Jewish names includes Kazimierczak as both Polish and Jewish.

By contrast, the Polish Genealogical Society derives Kazimierczak from Slavic roots:

Actually the standard Polish spelling is Kazimierz, and it’s an ancient Slavic name dating back to when the Poles were pagans and gave their children names formed by joining two root-words to express a kind of hope or prophecy for their children. So Kazimierz comes from the root kazi-, “to destroy” + mir, “peace” — thus naming a child Kazimierz was expressing the wish that he would grow up to be a destroyer of peace, i. e., a great warrior (“peace” as ancient Slavs thought of it was not necessarily the wonderful thing we consider it, they gloried in war). Kazimierz is an extremely popular first name in Poland, and has been for a long time — it’s one of the few Polish names that is even used in English, in the Latinized form Casimir. It is not all that common as a surname — as of 1990 there were only about 202 Polish citizens with Kazimierz as a surname. But other names formed from it are extremely popular — for instance, Kazimierczak (5,095), Kazmierczak (28,198) [both of which mean “son of Kazimierz”), and Kazmierski (5,240).”

Still, the preponderance of evidence favors an ethnic Jewish ancestry for Angela Merkel, on her father’s side:

Supporting that, this website about Krakow  says that Kazimierz was an ethnic Jewish city.

Merkel’s grandfather came from Posen (Poznan), about four hours from Warsaw, which had one of the earliest communities of Jews in the country.

Poznan’s Jewish community was one of the earliest to be established on Polish soil; the first reference to Jews living in the town comes from 1379. While tradition dates the town’s synagogue to 1367, there is no documented evidence of its existence until 1449 (the cemetery, however, was first mentioned in 1438).

Despite Jewish descent, Horst Kazimierczak/Kasner joined the Hitler Youth in Berlin where he was brought up, which was probably a fairly common thing at the time.

On her mother’s side, Angela Merkel is descended from Willi Jentzsch, a leading politician in Danzig.

For Merkel to be considered Jewish, as some conspiracy sites have alleged, she would have to descend maternally from Jewish ancestry.

Merkel’s mother, Herlind Jentzsch, has a name that is derived from Johanan (John), probably the most common name in the West. Nothing can be inferred from this.

Herlind is the daughter of Willi Jentzsch and Gertrud Alma Drange, who is said to be of mixed Kashubian-Polish descent.

Thus, on one side, Merkel is Polish-Jewish. And, on the other, Polish-Kashubian.

Kashubians are said to have been pre-Slavic inhabitants of Poland and there are many Jews among Kashubians.

Gertrud’s father, Emil Drange, was a top municipal official of Elbing and his wife’s name was Emily Wachs of Glogau.

Wachs is an Ashkenazy Jewish name meaning beeswax, making Gertrud Drange of Kashubian-Jewish descent.

That makes Merkel ethnic Jewish, in the technical sense (i.e., through the maternal line).

Going back even further, Emil Drange’s own mother was a native of Posen (Poznan), which, as I mentioned earlier, has a large number of Jews.

Is Merkel a Christian?

In theory, she is a Lutheran and a Christian Democrat, but she is much closer to the communists than is usually recognized, according to a recent book.

The book explores Merkel’s life growing up in German Democratic Republic (GDR), where her father Horst Kasner was a Protestant pastor and a committed socialist. He moved to East Germany from West Germany in 1954.

Merkel has said in the past that her FDJ role at the academy was more that of a cultural secretary and that her duties included buying theater tickets and organizing book readings.

‘Closeness to the System’

But former German Transport Minister Günther Krause — an eastern German politician who worked with her in the final months of the GDR and as a fellow minister in the government ex-chancellor Helmut Kohl in the early 1990s — contradicts her in the book and says she propagated Marxism-Leninism.

“With Agitation and Propaganda you’re responsible for brainwashing in the sense of Marxism,” he said. “That was her task and that wasn’t cultural work. Agitation and Propaganda, that was the group that was meant to fill people’s brains with everything you were supposed to believe in the GDR, with all the ideological tricks. And what annoys me about this woman is simply the fact that she doesn’t admit to a closeness to the system in the GDR. From a scientific standpoint she wasn’t indispensable at the Academy of Sciences. But she was useful as a pastor’s daughter in terms of Marxism-Leninism.”

As for the iron frau herself:

‘She is like Tony Blair, but without the principles,’ remarks one party critic with biting irony.”

Mentored and promoted by Helmut Kohl, who called her “his girl,” she turned on him with canny opportunism when he was caught in a political scandal.

So much for her principles.

Now for Merkel’s “haus-frau” image:

In 2013, a photo was leaked that showed what looked like a young Angela Merkel at a nude beach.

This in itself is not that unusual in Germany, where millions of people appear naked in public at least once a year.

But Merkel’s nudity seems to have been associated with Freikoerperkultur (naturalism/nudism), which was especially popular in East Germany and was ideological:

At his blog, Roger Boyes gives one view of German naturalism as an expression of primitive socialism and a rebellion against the conventions of industrial society:

Germans see nudism – sorry naturalism – differently. It has, at least since the end of the 19th century, been part of a movement to get back to nature. To free oneself – hence the name, Freikörperkultur – from religious strictures that teach you to be ashamed of your body. To free oneself from industrial society – without clothes no-one is a factory slave, everyone is equal. Significantly the first FKK Verein was established (in 1898) in smoky Essen. It was a primitive kind of Socialism which was why the bureaucratic communists of East Germany, Ulbricht and co, hated it so much. They understood that when their citizens stripped off, they were shedding the system. In the 1950s the communists tried to ban the nudists.”

But if the primitive communists were rebelling against the bureaucratic communists, it’s hard to see how the nude Angela (circa 1970) who seems to represent the first could also be the commissar Angela (circa 1972), whose photo in uniform also caused a stir on the internet in 2013.

One explanation is that Merkel was always an opportunist, jumping on whatever trend would help her advance.

But there are other explanations.

The Freikoeperkultur was associated not just with the left. It had its apolitical and its right-wing variants.

The Lebensreform movement, one of its affiliates, was closely tied to Nazism:

As early as 1907, Richard Ungewitter published a pamphlet called Nudity and Culture (which sold 100,000 copies), arguing that the practices he recommended would be “the means by which the German race would regenerate itself and ultimately prevail over its neighbours and the diabolical Jews, who were intent on injecting putrefying agents into the nation’s blood and soil”.[4]

The extremists promoting rightwing ideology eventually became popular among Nazi Party officials and their supporters, including Heinrich Himmler and Rudolph Höss, who belonged to the right-wing farming organization the Artaman League. When other groups were being banned or disbanded due to political conflict during the 1930s, the extreme nationalist ideology became connected with Naziism. The German Life Reform League broke apart into political factions during this time. The Nationalist physician Artur Fedor Fuchs began the League for Free Body Culture (FKK), giving public lectures on the healing powers of the sun in the “Nordic sky”, which “alone strengthened and healed the warrior nation.”

In addition, Freikoeperkultur was closely linked with the Wandervogel movement, a movement inextricably tied to advocacy for homosexuality, bisexuality and pederasty:

[Adolf] Brand became involved in Magnus Hirschfeld‘s Scientific-Humanitarian Committee (the first public homosexual rights organization), until there was a split in 1903; that same year Brand led the formation of the Gemeinschaft der Eigenen organisation with the scientist Benedict Friedlaender as principal theorist, and Wilhelm Jansen. To this new group, male-male love, in particular that of an older man for a youth, was viewed as a simple aspect of virile manliness available to all men; they rejected the medical theories of doctors such as Magnus Hirschfeld who found that a gay man was a certain type of person, the intermediate sex.[3] The GdE was a sort of scouting movement that echoed the warrior creed of Sparta and the ideals of pederasty in Ancient Greece, and the ideas on pedagogic eros of Gustav Wyneken.[3] The GdE was heavily involved with camping and trekking and occasionally practiced nudism – the latter then common as part of the Nacktkultur (‘culture of nudity’) sweeping Germany. In the 1920s this would develop into the Freikörperkultur under Adolf Koch.

The GdE was similar to other such groups in Germany at the time, such as the Wandervogel. Wilhelm Jansen, co-founder of the Gemeinschaft der Eigenen, was one of the chief financial supporters of the Wandervogel and also a leader in it.[4]”

Furthermore, Merkel, like Hillary Clinton, is rumored to be a closeted lesbian.  This was the sub-text of an ad run by a lesbian magazine attacking Merkel for not supporting gay marriage.

In brief, Merkel was perhaps  more thoroughly indoctrinated in communist ideology than her current persona as staid haus-frau reveals.

Certainly, that is the accusation made against Merkel by former Polish PM Jaroslaw Kaczynski whose brother was killed, along with numbers of  senior officials, in a sinister plane crash some years ago (see this MBP blog post).

Kaczynski believes Merkel was brought to power by the German Stasi (or rather, the remnants of the Stasi) and has expansionist designs for Germany:

“(German Chancellor Angela) Merkel belongs to a generation of German politicians that would like to reinstate Germany’s imperial power,” writes Kaczynski. “A strategic axis with Moscow is part of that.” Poland can only be an obstacle in that respect, he continues, adding that Germany would need to “subdue our country, one way or another.”

The plane-crash brought in a Judeophile leadership to Poland, which, in collusion with the crypto-Jewish leadership of Germany, has been seeking to redraw the German-Polish border and return Germans expelled from Poland after World War II, some of whom entered Poland only after the invasion by the Nazis.

Bret Stephens On Donald Trump

Posted on by

Bret Stephens in a hard-hitting piece in the WSJ on Donald Trump:

For now let’s speak plainly about what the Trump ascendancy says about the potential future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

It says that we may soon have a conservative movement in which the American creed of “give us your tired, your poor” could yield to the Trumpian creed that America must not become a “dumping ground” to poor immigrants from Latin America, as if these millions of hardworking and God-fearing people are a specimen of garbage.t says that a movement that is supposed to believe in defending old-fashioned values and traditions against the assorted degradations of the postmodern left might allow itself to be led by a reality-TV star whose meretricious tastes in trophies, architectural and otherwise, mainly remind me of the aesthetics of Bob Guccioni“

and

“The leader isn’t the problem. The people are. It takes the demos to make the demagogue.”

Well, here Mr. Stephens is only saying things I said a while back:

“Rule of the Demos”

Regarding Donald Trump, I made a similar observation about his houses and his wives:

“Obama Birth Certificate A Forgery Says Sheriff Arpaio”

I once exchanged a couple of emails with Stephens, I guess before he took a look at my blog and passed out.

I take some faint consolation in thinking that a bit of my thinking got through to him in some way, perhaps not in the way I hoped for.

In any case, I know he’s a neocon, but not everything neocons say and do is wrong.

On Trump the demagogue, Stephens is correct and it’s a shame to see this impresario, who shilled for the oligarchy at the most crucial time, being passed off as a folk-hero by libertarians and conservatives, no less. I’ve no doubt the whole Trump candidacy is intended to make any rational criticism of immigration look bad and thus drive more people to the liberal-left consensus on that and other things.

Trump, the bankster-shill, is a Trojan-horse, and any knowledgeable person pushing him is not a dupe but a knave.

Zionists Salivating For American Collapse

Posted on by

Zionists on every front are salivating over the prospect of divine “judgment” on America apparently through the mechanism of  stock market collapse – for an assortment of evils, varying from aborting babies to not grovelling with sufficient meekness to Israel:

Well-known [Zionist] Christian evangelist Pat Robertson was criticized for suggesting the “Black Monday” stock-market collapse was a “taste” of the “judgment of God” for national sins such as abortion.

But another [Zionist] Christian leader is adding his voice to the controversy – and he says Robertson is right.

“Of course it is judgment!” says Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries and the discoverer of the “blood moons” tetrad.

He argues the United States of America has courted God’s judgment with mistaken policies, especially with regard to Israel.

The final blood moon arrives next month, and Biltz noted he predicted “economic judgment” coming upon American in his book, “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs.”

After observing two major stock-market declines earlier this century, on the day before Rosh Hashanah in 2001 and on the day before Rosh Hashanah in 2008, Biltz wrote: “Could the coming blood moons signal our third strike, and we will be out economically? We already see the signs of economic collapse coming, with America being so much in debt and our government in a comatose condition.”

Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged about 1,000 points. It did the same in the first five minutes of trading Monday but then rebounded slightly. On Tuesday, there was a bounce in the market, then it plunged again. The Dow is down about 13 percent now from its recent highs. That means trillions of dollars in stock and bond equity have vanished.

Religious teachers, analysts and international media outlets are warning of the possibility of American economic collapse, with some going to so far as to predict “economic apocalypse.” And while other Christian leaders shy away from specific predictions, they caution America may well be facing heavenly judgment.

[Rabbi] Jonathan Cahn’s clarion call to repent and return to God is well known, but what about the man himself? Where did he come from and how did he rise from obscurity to a Christian voice heard by millions? WND has produced a new documentary film, “The Harbinger Man,” that answers these questions and more. Pre-order your copy now.

[Zionist] Evangelist, filmmaker and author Joel Richardson told WND he would “never say that every negative or corrective cycle in the stock market is God’s judgment.”

However, the author of “When a Jew Rules the World: What the Bible Really Says About Israel in the Plan of God” argues Americans should not dismiss the larger reality of God intervening in the fate of nations.

He stated: “The fact is, God does indeed humble nations because He desires for them to repent of their sins and return to Him. There can be no question that many within the United States are increasingly rejecting God and His ways. No doubt, as a nation, we need to turn back to Him. Desperately so.”

Behind “Tampon Gandhi”: Menstrual Hotlines @ $8/Call

Posted on by

TAMPON GANDHI – A  SCRIPTED BADASS

A Google search of Kiran “Tampon” Gandhi brings up pages and pages of uncritical praise from slick fashion, alternative, political, and media sites, even though, from the comments, most readers have reacted unfavorably.

Nearly every one of these sites applauds Tampon Gandhi as a “badass,” in such uniform terms that the articles must have been scripted.

AZADI.COM AND THE MENSTRUAL HOT-LINE

One such site is Azadi.com, which can be translated as Freedom.com, “freedom” being one of those multi-valent buzz-words typical of New World Order mob-speak.

Azadi.com signals it’s on board the global menstrual revolution, by sticking out the begging-bowl for its cutting-edge “Menstrual Hot-line,” manned by menstrual activists at the cost of $8 a phone-call.

8 dollars in India is a decent amount of money, close to 500 rupees.

The Azadi Toll-Free Menstrual (1-800-3000-2805) aims to fill critical knowledge and support gaps, providing adolescent girls with a trained counselor to learn and discuss menstruation, menstrual health and menstrual management. Given the ubiquity of mobile phones in rural India, the Azadi Menstrual Helpline has the capacity to bring information to thousands of girls.

Each call costs approximately $8 to service. This includes the cost of training our counselors, manning the lines, and doing outreach activities. If you would like to support this program, click here! here!”

MENSTRUAL MIND-CONTROL COMES TO INDIA

“Menstrual counseling” and “menses outreach”translate to radical feminist brainwashing and recruitment.

Now, the Indian government already has innumerable rural health schemes of all kinds, quite apart from the work of religious and secular charities.

So, the new, tax-subsidized, one-world government-backed, initiatives exist only to take tax-dollars and donations from Indian citizens on one hand and guilt-ridden Westerners on the other to fuel their parasitic existence.

It’s the most extraordinary chutzpah and immorality for the Crony-Corporate One-worlders (aka “international community”) to demand donations from ordinary people, crushed by the burden of taxes, the depreciation of their savings,  and the evisceration of their economies, all of which have been orchestrated by the very same people now trundling out Indian villages girls to pan-handle on their behalf.

“NON-PROFIT” AS A MARKETING GIMMICK FOR FOR-PROFIT SCHEMES

As I wrote earlier, these “non-profits” have “for-profit” investors lined up for miles behind them.

A few clicks on the web-site of  Azadi.com take us into the Byzantine world of Health NGOs’ and non-profits:

AZADI.COM has for its partners,

VILLGRO, PATH, WATER AID, IMPACT ENGINE, and WASH UNITED.

Deconstructing just two of these is enough to establish that the Menstrual Hot-line links back to the Globalists.

VILLGRO.COM

1.VILLGRO.COM has a web-site replete with globalist buzz-words (eco-system, thrive, sustainability – all of which are worthy enough in their own right, except that they are perpetually exploited to sell one-worldism.)

One of VILGRO’S initiatives is called “UNCONVENTION.”

“Unconvention” partners with

(among many other)

TIE (Indus Entrepreneurs), IIM- Ahmedabad, ASHA IMPACT (“Tampon” Gandhi’s family’s foundation), and the BRITISH COUNCIL..

These names represent the quintessence of academic respectability and knowledge-capital in the UK and India.

PATH

Azadi’s next partner is PATH.

PATH describes itself as “driving transformative innovations to save lives.”

Their slick website suggests why a single phone-call in India – capital of cheap cell-phones and free VOIP services – should need $8 bucks to back it up.

After all, a typical cell call in India might be a few cents and VOIP calls are often free.

A click on PATH’s “Executive Leadership” explains the high-cost:

PATH’S executives are all involved with the Centers of Disease Control or other initiatives of the US Govt, or with international health bodies like UNICEF, or with the Gates Foundation and its vaccine programs, or with Microsoft.

USG, CDC, AND MICROSOFT BEHIND  MENSTRUAL HOT-LINE?

These ties suggest that the US Government and its corporate cronies, rather than some humble charity, is the ultimate beneficiary of the Menstrual Hot-line promoted by Asha Impact and its partners and advertised so slickly by Kiran “Tampon” Gandhi.

There is certain to be a surveillance angle to all this, considering that the current allegedly nationalistic Modi Government (with its suspicious courting of the Saudi government) is also pushing a gargantuan, privacy-shredding DNA profiling program onto the entire Indian sub-continent.
