Are Jews Terrorized by Own Leadership?

For most of my life I did not understand the expression "the Jewish question." Nobody ever talked about "the Catholic question" or "the Presbyterian question" or "the Mormon question" or "the Buddhist question" or "the Muslim question." Yet there have been extensive debates, beginning in the 19th century, of "the Jewish question."

I always assumed the people who used this expression were so prejudiced against Jews they speciously considered them a problem that needed solving. Hitler's "final solution to the Jewish question," I was taught, represented a culmination of such baseless, mindless prejudice and hatred.

But after learning more about history--and especially after reading and re-reading Laurent Guyénot's new book From Yahweh to Zion--I have come to realize that there are many legitimate "Jewish questions," not just one. Some important questions include: Is Judaism/Jewishness a religion or an ethnicity?

What is the Jews' relationship to God, and to Jesus and the prophets? What accounts for the Jews' ability to maintain tribal cohesion over more than 2500 years? Why have Jewish communities so often been at odds with their non-Jewish neighbors? Why have Jews been over-represented--in many non-Jewish societies throughout history--in positions of wealth and power?

Why does this over-representation seem to be increasing today? Why is this issue off-limits for discussion in polite company (including the mainstream media and the academy)? Is Jewish tribal cohesion an important factor in the Deep State? And what role does the creation and endless expansion of Israel play in all of this?

These are important questions for anyone who wants to understand world history and current events. Yet as John Cobb, one of the world's leading Christian theologians, says in his blurb for From Yahweh to Zion: "...we know that there is rather tight censorship with respect to what may be said about these matters without ad hominem response. The fact of Gentile crimes against Jews throughout history is used to justify this censorship, much, but not all, of which is self-imposed. In my view, through their role in this censorship, Jews are paving the way for the rise of anti-Jewish feeling and perhaps much worse."

From Yahweh to Zion was conceived in the ominous shadow of such censorship. The book is a critical examination of "Jewish questions" that doesn't shy away from the most controversial topics--notably such Deep State issues as alleged Zionist orchestration of 20th century world wars, the JFK assassination, and 9/11. (Dr. Guyenot agrees with Michael Collins Piper's thesis that Israel was a prime player in the Kennedy assassinations.) 

There was no way such a book could ever be issued by a major publisher. It will almost certainly be denounced by Bnai Brith, the ADL, Political Research Associates, and/or other contemporary censors and heresy-hunting inquisitors.

As Dr. Cobb suggests, such denunciation and censorship is counterproductive, at least if its purpose is to stem the tide of anti-Jewish bigotry. More and more people are asking the censors the obvious question: Why won't you engage in rational debate with people who raise these issues? If they are wrong, why not just refute them? Why do you endlessly insult them and try to shut them up? What have you got to hide?

Dr. Guyenot's thesis, in a nutshell, is that a tiny Jewish elite, representing a very small fraction of Jews, has hijacked the idea of God and turned it to their own aggrandizement. Over two and a half millennia, this elite has terrorized its own people to enforce their sense of separateness from other groups, garnering wealth and power in the process.

Today, much of the Jewish population neither believes in God nor practices most of the prescribed Jewish rituals. But the terrorizing of Jewish people by their own leadership, the enforced sense of separation from other communities, and the amassing of wealth and power by the Jewish elite whose prime weapon is the adaptation of millennia-old brainwashing processes to today's secular setting, all continue--with Israel replacing Yahweh as a central focus of worship.

Dr. Guyenot suggests that ordinary Jewish people, perhaps even more than non-Jews, are the biggest victims of their own elite. His book is an invitation to Jews to become aware of the bars of their mental prison, and then step outside into the light.

Gilad Atzmon might agree that the only escape from the Jewish mental ghetto is to stop identifying "as a Jew." But other free-thinking people who happen to have been born Jewish, including Jeremy Rothe-Kushell, Marc Ellis, and Douglash Rushkoff, might disagree. All three embrace prophetic/iconoclastic readings of Judaism that challenge elites and seek truth and justice.

So who is right? Instead of censorship and slander, let's have a reasoned dialogue and draw our own conclusions.

First Comment from Tony B

Kevin Barrett may have been convinced by this new book but there are almost endless books down the ages to the present which tell the same stories.  This is not a new question, it is as old as the talmud, the Kabbalah, etc.  And has been a part of real history (the censored part) all through these ages.

The biggest problem seems to be that too many non-Jews as well as too many "little" Jews (those considered unimportant by their self-appointed "leadership") accept the wildly hate-filled propaganda without questioning the anti-natural ridiculousness of it.

Douglas Reed in his book The Controversy of Zion, completed in 1956, relates that over 2500 years ago the Levites, wandering heredity priests, took over and enslaved the tribe of Judah. The Levites' "...aim was power and they strove for a theocracy, a state in which God is the sovereign and religion is the law." "The Levites produced Deuteronomy in 621 BC - 'the Mosaic Law' not produced by Moses...' The Levites...repeatedly made Moses (and for that matter, Jehovah) say what suited them."

So true how the news media and those controlling it like to fan flames of fear. I don't want to demean the personal losses of anyone but the number of deaths they say this virus has killed worldwide is nearly nothing compared to the billions of men, woman and children on the planet.

In the Dallas area, related to regular flu, the local news regularly posts info on deaths and urges viewers, "its not to late to get vaccinated." I believe a total of 17 deaths occurred. Not all, but a good amount were older or had compromised health issues. With the population in the area in the millions, that number is almost meaningless, yet it is used to drive an unreasonable fear mentality and the vaccine,( driven no doubt by the industry) when normal healthy living, and normal precautions are best. I don't even recall last time I had the flu and I have never got a flu shot, nor do I plan to.

In order not to get lost in fruitless debates about "Jewish Identity" we have to go to scripture.
There are basically 3 categories to which man is referred to in the Holy Bible, the Jew, the Gentile, and the Church (which is composed of both Jew and Gentile who are believers in Jesus Christ). What applies to the Jews applies to the Jews, what applies to the Gentiles applies to the Gentiles, and what applies to the Church applies to the Church. We as Gentiles can neither judge nor save the Jews. There is only redemption for both Jew and Gentile through the Church.
