The Jewish Quarterly on porn

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 13 August 2006 23:29.

While I was doing some quick research for a recent comment on another thread I came across this article by Nathan Abrams from the Winter 2004 issue of The Jewish Quarterly.  Many MR readers may know this anonymous piece at Heretical.com.  It’s something of a staple for the right on the vexing issue of Jews and pornography.  But unforced confession is so much more convincing than allegation, and TJQ’s piece - which I, for one, had not seen before - is not short of it.  For example:-

Is there a deeper reason, beyond the mere financial, as to why Jews in particular have become involved in porn? There is surely an element of rebellion in Jewish X-rated involvement. Its very taboo and forbidden nature serves to make it attractive. As I written in these pages before, treyf signifies ‘the whole world of forbidden sexuality, the sexuality of the goyim, and there all the delights are imagined to lie ...’ (‘Reel Kashrut: Jewish food in film’, JQ 189 [Spring 2003]).

According to one anonymous industry insider quoted by E. Michael Jones in the magazine Culture Wars (May 2003), ‘the leading male performers through the 1980s came from secular Jewish upbringings and the females from Roman Catholic day schools’. The standard porn scenario became as a result a Jewish fantasy of schtupping the Catholic shiksa.

Furthermore, as Orthodox Jew and porn gossipmonger Luke Ford explains on his website (lukeford.net): ‘Porn is just one expression of [the] rebellion against standards, against the disciplined life of obedience to Torah that marks a Jew living Judaism.’ It is also a revolt against (often middle-class) parents who wish their children to be lawyers, doctors and accountants. As performer Bobby Astyr put it on the same website, ‘It’s an “up yours” to the uncles with the pinky rings who got down on me as a kid for wanting to be musician.’

... Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America. Some porn stars viewed themselves as frontline fighters in the spiritual battle between Christian America and secular humanism. According to Ford, Jewish X-rated actors often brag about their ‘joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast’. Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. Astyr remembers having ‘to run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an “up yours” to these people’. Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said (on lukeford.net), ‘The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.’ Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged. Porn is no longer of the ‘what the Butler saw’ voyeuristic type; instead, it is driven to new extremes of portrayal that stretch the boundaries of the porn aesthetic. As new sexual positions are portrayed, the desire to shock (as well as entertain) seems clear.

It is a case of the traditional revolutionary/radical drive of immigrant Jews in America being channelled into sexual rather than leftist politics. Just as Jews have been disproportionately represented in radical movements over the years, so they are also disproportionately represented in the porn industry. Jews in America have been sexual revolutionaries. A large amount of the material on sexual liberation was written by Jews. Those at the forefront of the movement which forced America to adopt a more liberal view of sex were Jewish. Jews were also at the vanguard of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse and Paul Goodman replaced Marx, Trotsky and Lenin as required revolutionary reading. Reich’s central preoccupations were work, love and sex, while Marcuse prophesied that a socialist utopia would free individuals to achieve sexual satisfaction. Goodman wrote of the ‘beautiful cultural consequences’ that would follow from legalizing pornography: it would ‘ennoble all our art’ and ‘humanize sexuality’.

Let me use this chance to publicly propose a simple way to destroy the pornography business without touching the first amendment:

Simply this: Alter the copyright duration of all pornographic works to 1 (one) day.

The first amendment is happy, the mass of consumers is happy, conservatives are (if they have it carefully explained to them) happy. Everyone’s happy, except for the producers (you know who).

hence the production of lots of interracial filth. There’s essentially no difference between “White Sluts Black Cocks” and Hollywood productions like “Save the Last Dance”, “O”, “Finding Forrester”, “Guess who’s coming to dinner”, etc.

All our degeneracy is approved by the jewish religion through esoteric kalbalistic and talmudic teachings, it’s fundamental(ism).  It doesn’t lead to the end of their society now does it?  Our society is crumbling and Jews couldn’t be more wealthy.  “Liberal” judiasm would be the religion whose adherents would not seek the destruction of their hosts.

The talkative Nina Hartley, with all her clothes on, provides insights into the Jewish mentality towards sex, pornography and America.  See here, here and here.  This self-centred clap-trap, for example:-

Our society is sexist, racist, ageist, but I am a biological creature with all these amazing gifts of orgasm and I cannot wait for the world out there to change for me to be happy.

Whatever effect she really has, she sees herself as a revolutionary riding for freedom.

GW:“Whatever effect she really has, she sees herself as a revolutionary riding for freedom.”

Along with a healthy dose of sex advice, Hartley denounced capitalism and advocated the decriminalization of prostitution.

Circumcision helps account for many of the Jews’ screwed-up attitudes to sexuality and, perhaps, their destructiveness in other spheres.

Imagine being ritually mutilated as a baby at your father’s behest by the priest, so that for ever after your half-dead dick will remind you that you are a member of a tribal minority.

Imagine knowing that you get less from sex than the ‘cattle’ (except the dumb Americans of whom more than half are still ‘cut’ as a sign of ZOG’s covenant) and that you are more prone to infections of the penis.

Imagine knowing that your momma acceded to all this, and that most doctors consider it unnecessary and problematic. Yet you are of the Chosen!

Should we not seek to explain the Jews’ vengefulness, spite and avarice as epiphenomena of projected, sublimated resentment against their fathers, and by extension against the father-God that commands this mutilation? Hence also the prominence of Jews in every movement to subvert the stability of society: another kind of greed, for psychological control. They cannot bear to denounce the real perps (too close to home) so they make enemies out of outsiders—and the paranoia often becomes self-fulfilling.

Anti-social preaching and behaviour can be more than the self-protective instincts of a minority trying to demoralise a potentially hostile host, as Kevin MacDonald argues. Such nihilism can be just as subversive of the Jews’ own traditions, once the emancipated, secular but still circumcised Jew evaluates his disability because he is no longer only among his own kind. He then turns on his tribe’s traditions and trashes his faith, trying to transcend the divide between devout Jew and devout Christian by sabotaging both sets of mores with his ‘progressive’ talk.

At bottom the sublimated protest against infant genital mutilation is a death wish: a clamour for ‘self-fulfilment’ which refuses to see humans as social beings who have obligations as well as rights. As the fount of authority, the treacherous father becomes, indirectly for the ashamed assailant, the true enemy—the keystone of family and of the race which is an extension of family. To undermine them is a kind of revenge on poppa and G-d, those knife-wielding tormentors.

The angry Jew advocates either the submersion of the individual spirit in some collective utopia or atomisation: Man as an island, a hedonistically ‘free’ puppet of base desires a la Rand or Al Goldstein. Father, family and society must be ignored or destroyed. It is a grotesque overcompensation for having been deprived of the full use of the organ that, next to the brain, embodies the most potential for self-expression in the true sense: cementing love of a wife and creating the next generation.

Hatred of the mutilating father finds its most logical resolution—in sterility. The one thing porn is never about is reproduction. The circumcised producers and performers circumvent the central purpose of sex.

The ‘respectability’ in the US of the disgusting and barbaric tribal rite of circumcision was the baneful result of Jewish doctors gaining control of the American Medical Association and publishing papers on the so-called health benefits of the ancient Yiddish art of penis-clipping.

“Half-dead dick”!

LOL! Obviously, Amalek doesn’t have the slightest idea what the effects of circumcision are. But he has quite an imagination. Perhaps his wacky anti-semitic theorizing makes him feel more virile and is intended to combat his own insecurity about his own manhood (both kinds).

the latest propaganda:

Male circumcision ‘lowers risk of HIV infection by 60%’
http://www.latest-health-treatments.com/news/male-circumcision-lowers-risk-of-hiv-infection-by-60

It used to be called the unkindest cut. But now the head of the one of the world’s largest Aids charities believes we are on the brink of a revolution in attitudes to circumcision.

Richard Feachem, executive director of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, said research revealing the protective effect of circumcision against HIV was set to change parental expectations and medical practice across the world. Instead of viewing the operation as an assault on the male sex, it was increasingly being seen as a lifesaving procedure which every parent would want for their sons.

Removing the foreskin is thought to harden the glans (head) of the penis, making it less permeable to viruses. Research conducted in 2005 showed the transmission of HIV from women to men during sex was reduced by 60 per cent if the men were circumcised.

A study published last month calculated that if all men in sub-Saharan Africa were circumcised, it would prevent almost six million new cases of HIV infection and save three million lives over the next 20 years.

Dr Feachem said the finding was one of the most significant in the battle against Aids and offered real hope of slowing the spread of the virus. The issue is to be debated at the World Aids Congress, which opens in Toronto next week.

Dr Feachem said: “We know the factors that cause HIV to spread rapidly in a country - the number of concurrent sexual partners, the use of condoms, the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases and male circumcision. Other things being equal, in a circumcised population you have a low and slowly developing epidemic and in an uncircumcised population you have a high and fast developing epidemic.”

Circumcisions leave 20 dead

http://www.cirp.org/news/sapa07-19-05/

he circumcision season ended in the Eastern Cape on Sunday with 20 boys dead from botched operations, the provincial health department said on Tuesday.

Eastern Cape health department spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said that the department had arrested 15 traditional health practitioners throughout the season. The worst area was Pondoland, where 12 boys died.

“In the past week there were at least seven deaths. This means that 20 boys in total have died throughout the season,” Kupelo said.

“But schools have reopened and there are few initiation schools left, so workloads have gone down. The circumcision season has ended.”

Illegal

Kupelo said the department had used about 400 surgeons, 425 officials, about 80 4x4 vehicles and three helicopters in the fight against illegal circumcisions.

“The department is going to review the season to see where we went wrong and what needs to be done to improve the situation.”

One practitioner has been charged with two counts of culpable homicide and will apply for bail on July 26.

Kupelo said that many traditional surgeons who had been arrested were let off by the police.

“We will have to engage with the police and the National Prosecuting Authority. Some of the traditional health practitioners that were arrested were let off with warnings, without them going to court. We want to stop that.”

Genital amputations

There were 5 833 boys circumcised in the Eastern Cape during the school holidays and of those 239 were admitted to hospital. Five genital amputations were conducted.

Kupelo said the department had rescued 535 boys who had been left to die in the bush after their circumcision.

The next circumcision season will be when the school holidays start in November and December.

Ive never seen Amalek zoom off into uncharted waters quite like that before. It sonds like him though, maybe a very clever parody?

Amalek’s bit is presumably a parody of that well-known jew Freud’s theory of penis envy.  I thort it was quite funny.  Now that Harry’s Place is no fun anymore, I wish you’d post here more Amalek..
