The following is an e-mail sent by me in my capacity as Executive Secretary of ResistingDefamation.org to William Dean Singleton, Vice Chairman & CEO, MediaNews Group.  It was subject-titled “Hate Speech Unbound: Susan Goldberg & Bruce Newman”.

Susan Goldberg, executive editor of the San Jose Mercury News, and movie critic Bruce Newman struck a blow for the most loathsome kind of hate speech on page 1E in the Mercury News today, 2/2/07, by promoting two hate labels, “shiksa” and “WASP.”

We request that you terminate the employment of both Goldberg and Newman for cause, namely, spreading hatred toward an identifiable section of our community.

SHIKSA

The well-known and widely-recognized hate term shiksa was used in the following way in the second paragraph of the article:

She (Diane Keaton) won an Oscar as the ultimate shiksa (italicized in text)
in “Annie Hall,” so it’s a little unsettling now to see her trying to play the
most aggressive yente (italicized in text) the movies have produced since
“Fiddler On the Roof.”

By linking shiksa to yente and “Fiddler On the Roof,” Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly declared the Jewish nature of shiksa which, we are told by Israel Shahak in “Jewish History, Jewish Religion” on page 26, is defined by the “Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary,” published in Israel, as “unclean animal; loathsome creature, abomination.” It also has a colloquial meaning in America and Europe as “Christian whore.”

Somehow the director, Michael Lehmann, was spared any criticism for this film at all. We can only wonder why the director was spared when the female star was pilloried with racist terms.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds shiksa to be repugnant because it is a name for European American women that they did not choose for themselves. Its use is a claim to name all European American women by someone outside the class of people named which, in turn, requires that it be based on a claim to supremacy. That is, Goldberg and Newman openly lay claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European American women. We explicitly condemn their racist claim, and denounce them for claiming supremacy over all European American women. 

In addition, the term shiksa is used to demonstrate contempt (it’s not funny on any level) and to smother the diversity of those so-named. Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is a shocking commentary on the bigotry that lies in the hearts and minds of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that shiksa is “insensitive” or that its use is “offensive” to us. We are simply examining the minds and hearts of Goldberg and Newman, and asking that their employment be terminated.

WASP

The hate term WASP was used in the following way in the third paragraph of the article:

Of course, there’s nothing in the Talmud that says a WASP
can’t be just as meddling a matchmaker as Molly Picon…

We don’t know why Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly linked WASP with the Talmud, but they clearly identified the term as a Jewish hate term this way. So let us look at WASP from a Jewish point of view. The Jewish analog is WEJ, a well known term of abuse for Jews which means White European Jew. Not having seen Newman, we don’t know what color he is, but Goldberg certainly qualifies as a WEJ, and we trust she won’t mind our tagging her with it in the same way she worked with Newman to tag European American women with WASP.

None of the Goldberg/Newman criticism of the film in question denigrates the director, Michael Lehmann. Could it be that he is spared name-calling because his last name isn’t Keaton? Readers want to know.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds the use of WASP to be repulsive because it is a name for European American men and women that they did not chose for themselves. Its use is a claim to have a supremacy power, the power to name those not in ones’ own group. We explicitly condemn Goldberg’s and Newman’s open claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European Americans.

WASP is used to demonstrate contempt and to smother the diversity of all European Americans. It is a “three-fer” in the world of hate speech by denigrating a skin color (white), an ethnicity (Anglo-Saxon), and a religion (Protestant Christians). Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is just more commentary on the bigotry that lives in the minds and hearts of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that use of WASP is “insensitive” or “offensive.” To see the entire hateful article go to one of these Internet addresses:

I am indebted to Troy Southgate’s New Right Forum where a member has posted a fascinating commentary on the IDF’s new methods of urban warfare.  The Israelis have applied a postmodernist archetectural analysis to the problem of combatting an urban guerilla force.  The result, complete with all the familiar postmodern linguistics, is the (literally) devastating concept of fighting under and through a dense architectural battlefield.

It is an astounding and disturbing commentary on semitic analysis, and on the - one imagines - extraordinary Ashkenazic capacity to invent new modes of attack.

The Art of War

The Israeli Defence Forces have been heavily influenced by contemporary philosophy, highlighting the fact that there is considerable overlap among theoretical texts deemed essential by military academies and architectural schools by Eyal Weizman
The attack conducted by units of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on the city of Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier-General Aviv Kokhavi, as ‘inverse geometry’, which he explained as ‘the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of micro-tactical actions’.1 During the battle soldiers moved within the city across hundreds of metres of ‘overground tunnels’ carved out through a dense and contiguous urban structure. Although several thousand soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas were manoeuvring simultaneously in the city, they were so ‘saturated’ into the urban fabric that very few would have been visible from the air. Furthermore, they used none of the city’s streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the external doors, internal stairwells and windows, but moved horizontally through walls and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors. This form of movement, described by the military as ‘infestation’, seeks to redefine inside as outside, and domestic interiors as thoroughfares. The IDF’s strategy of ‘walking through walls’ involves a conception of the city as not just the site but also the very medium of warfare – a flexible, almost liquid medium that is forever contingent and in flux.

This Times piece on the renaissance of the thinking Conservative right in Britain is instructive.  Perhaps.

Michael Gove, the Surrey Heath MP and housing spokesman for the Tories, is founding chairman of Policy Exchange and close to Mr Cameron. He said: “A precursor to electoral victory is victory in the battle of ideas and the battle for the agenda.”

... Most of the centre-right think-tanks are linked through a web of personal and professional connections, and many have close ties with the Conservative Party — although some fiercely defend their political independence.

They cover the entire range of issues, with Civitas — the Institute for the Study of Civil Society — wanting more family values, Reform campaigning for more market forces in public services, Open Europe opposing EU integration, the TaxPayers’ Alliance demanding lower taxes, Migrationwatch UK urging less immigration, Direct Democracy calling for more local decision making, and Policy Exchange, Mr Cameron’s favourite, establishing an agenda for compassionate Conservatism.

Research by The Times shows that five of the main new think-tanks — all formed since 2000 — are now quoted on average thirty times a week by national newspapers, three times more than two years ago.

Oh, tell me the pale Moon

Where has the joyous beat of the heart gone?

In the veinless, bloodless, joyless machine,

Illusion of our time.

Like a sunless gothic cathedral among the skyscrapers,

Without its chime - lost in the yawning heights of time.

Divine heart, you have slept too long in your primeval grave,

Waiting for the thunder to wake you up in your deep sleep!

But all that clamour couldn’t move you

You were falling deeper in your dream.

Until in the darkest darkness of my human heart,

I dreamt of the mysterious sun-ray that has come to wake you up,

Before the delightful dawn of time –from the coldest depths of

Unknown Life; from forgotten timeless spheres,

As soft as the white flower petals in warm summer nights

Comes the unknown delight!

The lost feeling - the old Eros; reborn out of time immemorial,

Deeper and warmer than all those passionate fires of cold modernity.

by Xenia Sunic, wife of Tom and a Croatian poet dedicated to the Promethean spirit.  She lives and works in Zagreb.

Legally recognized as married January 30, my wife and I are pictured below:

You might wonder why I married this woman, other than her manifest beauty since beauty, especially these days, really may conceal a heart of darkness.  The reasons, in no particular order, have to do with:

• Our shared heritage as pioneer Americans—she of Palatine German ancestry coming through Lancaster County, PA as did my Quaker ancestors.
• Her recent escape from the abuse of women by the female-saturated ghetto New York City where she was in classical music for over a decade, which mirrors in some ways my escape from the abuse of men by the male-saturated ghetto of Silicon Valley, where I was in engineering for over a decade.
• Her resulting first-hand knowledge of the hypocritical elites.  I could relay stories about what is required of women to advance their careers around NYC and what is done with them when no longer nubile but it would be redundant.  Suffice to say, she has what the naive think it takes to “make it anywhere” but definitely not what it takes to make it in “New York, New York” which is why she had what it took for me.
• She wants to raise children with me so much she is willing to put up everything she has for egg donation and surrogacy.
• She moved into the neighboring house where she maintained a vegetable garden thereby letting us get together naturally midst the kind of subsistence activities we both so respect.

We’ll have trouble given the destruction of my profession by immigration but this discarded engineer considers himself smiled upon by fate.

Over 3 years ago on VDARE, Kevin MacDonald convincingly labeled neoconservatism “Jewish”.  The long wait for KMac’s next VDARE is over.  This time he has hope for us:  The long suppression of open discussion of the Jewish foundation of the immigration disaster may soon dissipate.  I hope he is right but the problem with new openness about immigration is the fact that, just as they intended, Jews have complicated the politics of identity to the point that it may be difficult to openly discuss immigration as honestly as middle eastern policies.  KMac does, however, true to form, make a convincing case.

After much Hiltonian leaking yesterday Da’ud al-Khamouron, leader of the Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) Loyal Opposition, has spoken of his vision for our not very British future.  It surpasses the obvious to say that he really is not, not a Conservative.  He is a thorough-going Guardianista.

David Cameron has called on the people of Britain to resist extremism, and work flat out to tackle the ‘five barriers’ dividing society and blocking cohesion in the community

And these five pillars of Islamo-British disunity are:-

1. Extremism: Here the Tough-Love Kid gets to conflate Muslims who don’t like Western decadence with the BNP, who don’t like Islam.  I bet he enjoyed that poke at “the Far Right” (who simply never read the Guardian and wouldn’t know polenta from that Polish teagirl at the Reform).  Of course, David believes that there is a moderate centre hanging around out there, waiting to be fashioned out of Muslims who hanker after a bit of Western decadence and Brits who admire the noble, manly life of the Bedouin and often holiday in the Rub’ al Khali.  But does anyone who isn’t a liberal politician believe that?

2. Multiculturalism: David says:-

“multiculturalism has been manipulated to favour a divisive idea - the right to difference”

But that’s just not right.  Multiculturalism didn’t need to be manipulated.  It was simply never intended to produce a cohesive society.  Its supporters didn’t care if the end-result was a train-wreck.  The point was to destroy the cultural hegemony of the native English, Scots and Welsh.

David doesn’t see that stopping this process will necessarily provide native hegemony with a certain isostatic recovery.  That alone will make it more difficult, not less, for aliens to integrate.  Put another way, if multiculturalism required us natives to “celebrate diversity”, ending it will cause us to celebrate ourselves, won’t it?

3. Uncontrolled immigration: David says:-

“We can only live together if there is proper integration. You can’t have proper integration if people are coming into Britain at a faster rate than we can cope with”

But immigration in Britain has always been at a faster rate than we can cope with.  That’s why it was called mass immigration.  And, then, any genetically-distant mass immigration is by definition impossible to cope with.  That’s why it was called Commonwealth immigration, and why all those blacks and browns squeezed together in their own little - now quite big - corners of the country.  They did not want to integrate with us, and we did not want to integrate with them.  White flight mean anything to you, David?  Probably not part of your aristocratic experience.

4. Poverty: Well, the mean IQ of Pakistan is 81.  What can one expect?  But David, who cannot be unaware that his ideas have all been tested up to and beyond destruction in America, Holland or France, blithely asserts that:-

“the most effective way of beating poverty in the long run is to give people in deprived areas decent schools”

5. Poor educational standards: The mean IQ in Pakistan is 81.  What can one expect?

So much for the young hero’s prescription for a less British, more exotic life of colour-blind togetherness.  The “extremist” BNP, unwilling to consign us into the tender care of the muezzin, passes it’s judgement on Cameron here.  I suppose it won’t be long before we receive a reply from the extremist Muslims.
