Revilo Oliver’s cautionary tale of his experience with The John Birch society, its being a diversionary organ for civic patriotism and controlled opposition.

...“innocent but perturbed Americans can run off their energies in harmless patriotic game”

[...]

The principal purpose, aside from keeping the members in a revenue-producing excitement, is to make certain that their chaste minds are insulated against a wicked temptation not to love their enemies.

[...]

The only conceivable basis for a political movement that could transcend differences in income and manners is, of course, the biological unity of race — and that, of course, is precisely what the Birch hoax is now used to prevent enemies, both sophisticated and savage, while toiling to subsidize them. Many of those estimable persons would have been shocked by a suggestion that they had a right to consider first their own welfare and that of their children, for that would have been “selfish” and even sceptics have been imbued with the hoary Christian hokum that we must love those who hate us.

The nearest approximation to a middle class, both here and in Russia, is the bureaucracy, and it is their vested interest that the Birchers imagine they can destroy.

[...]

The poor Birchers go on playing patriotic games on their well-fenced playground. They pay their dues and buy books and pamphlets from Belmont to distribute to persons who may read the printed paper before discarding it. They continue, now and then, to coax a few friends to hear an approved speaker, who, if not a Jew himself, at least knows who his bosses are, and they all listen excitedly as he tells them how very bad everything is, from Washington to Timbuctoo, without ever mentioning any of the nasty facts of race and genetics, about which nice boys and girls should never think . . .

[...]

The American tradition was a fair and indeed noble one, and it still has the power to awaken nostalgia for a world that no man living has himself experienced, but for practical purposes, it now has only a literary and historical significance. To be sure, there are, outside the inconsequential Birch playpens, earnest men and women who still hope to restore the decent society and strictly limited government of that tradition, and their loyalty to what has ineluctably passed away entitles them to respect, just as we respect the British Jacobites, who remained loyal to the Stuarts and nourished hopes for a century after Culloden, and as we respect the earnest men and women in France who, as late as 1940, remained loyal to the Bourbons and dreamed of restoring them to their throne. But such nostalgic aspirations for the past are mere romanticism. They are dangerously antiquarian illusions today, when the only really fundamental question is whether our race still has the will-to-live or is so biologically degenerate that it will choose extinction—to be absorbed in a pullulant and pestilential mass of mindless mongrels, while the triumphant Jews keep their holy race pure and predatory.

American Conservatism is finished, and its remaining adherents are, whether they know it or not, merely ghosts wandering, mazed, in the daylight. And it is at this point that the present volume of selections from what I wrote on behalf of a lost cause fittingly ends.

...including the pardoning of the FALN bombers of Fraunces Tavern in 1975 (discussed in min. 1hr:13)

Hillary apparently got Bill to grant the clemency as a deal to ingratiate herself with the Puerto Rican community of New York. That would help her in her bid to become a New York Senator despite the fact that she was not from New York.

Israel, Palestine, and the GOP Platform
By Daniel Larison
July 12, 2016

The Republican platform plank on Israel and Palestine has been revised:

Rejecting policy both American parties have embraced for decades, the Republican Party moved Monday to approve a platform that does not include a call for a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

It is unfortunate that the GOP did this, but the truth is that this is where most “pro-Israel” Republicans have been for at least the last ten years. The revised plank is a symbolic repudiation of the consensus view on how to resolve the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and it reflects the extent to which the GOP as a whole has become an overt backer of the most hard-line Israeli policies.

As a two-state solution has become increasingly unlikely in the near term, “pro-Israel” hawks have generally come around to an aggressively pro-settler and pro-occupation position. Hawks here in the U.S. are at least as hard-line on these questions as their Israeli counterparts, and sometimes more so, and if anything Trump has been even more blunt about this than previous nominees. McCain and Romney paid lip service to a two-state solution, but neither had the slightest interest in pursuing it, and with Trump all pretense of support for that outcome has been cast aside. That has happened partly because of Trump’s own preferences, but it also reflects what most Republicans say they believe.

Conservative Republicans are skeptical of a peaceful, two-state solution

As we can see in the chart from an April 2016 Pew survey, most Republicans don’t think a peaceful two-state solution is even possible. It is likely that most of those people don’t think it is desirable.

The plank also commits the GOP to a fantasy: “We reject the false notion that Israel is an occupier.” This is a bizarre position to take, since Israel is undeniably occupying territory that does not belong to it and ruling over its stateless inhabitants. It is nonetheless consistent with a view that says that Israel does nothing wrong and shouldn’t be criticized even if it did. The plank predictably affirms the wrongheaded, destructive view that there should be “no daylight” between America and Israel, which implies a level of agreement and identity of interests that isn’t possible between any two governments.

Possibly the weirdest part of the new plank is the claim that support for Israel is an “expression of Americanism.” That may be the worst example of confusing the interests and identities of the two countries that I have ever seen. The language of this plank puts Republicans further at odds with the rest of the country on this issue, and it commits them to supporting policies that serve no American interest while indulging the worst behavior of a reckless client state.

The full text of the platform plank can be read below:

Our Unequivocal Support of Israel and Jerusalem

Like the United States of America, the modern state of Israel is a country born from the aspiration for freedom, and standing out among the nations as a beacon of democracy and humanity. Beyond our mutual strategic interests, Israel is likewise an exceptional country that shares our most essential values. It is the only country in the Middle East where freedom of speech and freedom of religion are found. Therefore, support for Israel is an expression of Americanism, and it is the responsibility of our government to advance policies that reflect Americans’ strong desire for a relationship with no daylight between America and Israel. We recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the Jewish state, and call for the American embassy to be moved there in fulfillment of U.S. law.

We reaffirm America’s commitment to Israel’s security and will ensure that Israel maintains a qualitative military edge over any and all adversaries. We support Israel’s right and obligation to defend itself against terror attacks upon its people, and against alternative forms of warfare being waged upon it legally, economically, culturally and otherwise. We reject the false notion that Israel is an occupier, and specifically recognize that the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (“BDS”) is anti-Semitic in nature and seeks to destroy Israel. Therefore, we call for effective legislation to thwart actions that are intended to limit commercial relations with Israel, or persons or entities doing business in Israel or in Israeli-controlled territories, in a discriminatory manner.

The U.S. seeks to assist in the establishment of comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East, to be negotiated among those living in the region. We oppose any measures intended to impose an agreement or to dictate borders or other terms, and call for the immediate termination of all U.S. funding of any entity that attempts to do so. Our party is proud to stand with Israel now and always.

July 14, 2016 - DONALD J. TRUMP ANNOUNCES CREATION OF ISRAEL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Donald J. Trump announced the formation of the Israel Advisory Committee to analyze U.S. policy toward the State of Israel, enhance the unbreakable bond between the countries, ensure Israel’s military superiority within the region and research alternative solutions to the Israeli/Palestinian discord. The Committee will make recommendations to Mr. Trump.

The co-chairmen of the Israel Advisory Committee are Jason Greenblatt, Esq., an Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of The Trump Organization and David M. Friedman, Esq., a senior partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP.

Mr. Trump stated, “The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians runs deep. Every president in modern history has tried and failed to resolve this conflict, while both sides continue to suffer. We mustn’t fear taking new, constructive and mutually beneficial steps to advance the cause of peace in the region, recognizing, at all times, the moral and strategic alliance, as well as the unbreakable bond, between the United States and Israel. That’s why I’ve asked Jason Greenblatt and David Friedman to lead my Israel Advisory Committee, to help me take a fresh look at the current conflict and what we can do to help reduce tensions. Events in the region directly affect our national security, and as President I’ll have no greater responsibility than protecting the American people from harm.”

He added, “Jason is a brilliant attorney whom I have known and trusted for nearly 20 years. David is someone I know and trust who has a great love for and knowledge of Israel. I expect this committee to take a fresh look at ongoing issues and recommend to me where the U.S. needs to change course in its approach to one of our staunchest allies and the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel.”

Mr. Greenblatt said, “This committee will recruit people with expertise on Israel and the wider Middle East, to consider ways to strengthen the friendship between the United States and Israel and attempt to foster peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Mr. Trump values and respects people from all nations, and Israel is a beacon of democracy and hope in a region that has suffered under more than its share of tyranny and radicalism. I am deeply honored that Mr. Trump has appointed me to this position.”

David Friedman said, “I have long held the view that it is a core interest of the United States that the State of Israel be safe, secure and the preeminent military force in the Middle East. I look forward to working with Mr. Trump—who I have had the privilege to advise for more than 15 years—and the Committee to facilitate that objective while seeking to reduce tensions in the region.”

DR. RICHARD H. ROBERTS, M.D., PH.D. IS APPOINTED AS VICE CHAIR OF THE ISRAEL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Dr. Roberts stated: “It is a great privilege to be asked to join this committee which, among other things, intends to analyze the status quo, seeking input from all parties on potential new solutions to seemingly intractable problems, and to recommend solutions to Mr. Trump.”

Posted by Netanyahu hopes Trump to help undo Iran Deal on Mon, 12 Dec 2016 07:09 | #

Fox, JERUSALEM –  President-elect Donald Trump will be a good friend to Israel and hopefully the two countries can work together to dismantle the international nuclear agreement with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview Sunday.

[...]

Netanyahu said there are “various ways of undoing” the 2015 deal, in which Iran agreed to limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions on its oil industry and finances.

“I have about five things in my mind,” Netanyahu said, declining to go into further detail.

During his campaign, Trump was harshly critical of the nuclear deal.

​Robert Stark interviews (((John Kenneth Press)))

(((John K. Press))) runs the website Culturism and writes for Alternative Right.

By “Culturism” he explains that he means integration of the various races in The Unites States under a common American culture.

Toward that end, in minute 54 he talks about his upcoming book on Mathew Arnold, who promoted a unification through Christendom and the Judeo-Christian Bible.

“As long as Christianity exists, it will serve to maintain Jewish power.” - TT Metzger

Jews could be only a small tribe otherwise, small in number and limited in power; but as long as Christianity keeps legions paying attention to that bible its going to have hegemonic power and influence.​
