There exist conspiracies, but the main drive behind Jewish behavior is cultural and genetic rather than conspiratoral. The Jewish conspiracy myth is a mixture of facts, silly generalisations and a few wrong conclusions.


There exist conspiracies in every group by definition but there is simply no Jewish Conspiracy per say.


There is no single Jewish conspiracy, but there exist and have existed several conspiracies that are dominated by Jews.

True. However, sometimes the dots are connected correctly. For example, the influence of dynasties like Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Oppenheimers and some sub-branches of the Cohen/Cohn/Köhn family and their interconnected networks is so huge it is hard to fanthom.

I'm sure hanging around Ats i'll get to here what other completely Retarded things things you believe that are fictional...

I can pour my heart out, openly explain my culture, even the pains and things I don't like about it.

Against any common sense, even though there are only Two places on earth where the vast Majority of Jews Live and I have relatives in positions of real and genuine power and authority in both of them NY and Israel respectively... Rabbinical and political

Some how in such a small community, with direct familial relations at the top, I managed to MISS some grand conspiracy...

It is such a waste of time to even speak with people like you.

So deluded

So bizarre

So completely convinced of a delusion


then when we seek to protect ourselves it is further proof to back up your Insanity

It's no different than it was for me growing up and attending public school, not because I was a Jew... others got the same treatment, morons always seek to abuse or destroy or harm what those they can't comprehend... The smartest kid in class is ALWAYS singled out.

There are just always people like you out there...

If we are gone, it would be and is becoming the Wasps or Mormons in America now singled out as evil for being successful

Or The Japanese over seas...

Or someone else...

It's a shame a shame that at heart You have such FEAR and INSECURITY that no matter how open and honest a person can be with you, you have to create such beliefs and seek to demonize in order to feel safe and make sense of things.

You actually believe...

That the Rothschilds are Jews in any real way, that they and the things they do have anything to do with Judaism as a whole, that Judaism is responsible or that they are anything other than an individual family that has amassed great power?

That they even associate with other Jews care for Jews, think of themselves as Jews when they rise in the morning?

That somehow because down the line they might have been Jews or maybe even adopted a Jewish name just because it suited their purposes... as many people do every day...

You believe that Jews and Judaism is anything but used by people like that when convenient and discarded when not?

This is what constitutes to you a Jewish conspiracy?

You know....

I have dislikes for some cultures, they have beliefs I don't share, behaviors i don't appreciate... I'm the last thing from a politically correct guy, I have biases like everyone else...

But I just find it easier to be honest and say flat out... I DON'T LIKE....X

I would never even care nor be offended in anyway if you posted a thread tomorrow that said :"I don't like Jews"

I don't feel the need to rationalize it when I don't like a group of people...i'll just say it...

But Invent theories... and name names and make individuals out to be so powerful in a world of an EU a China an America... Russia... to even place Jews in that league and hold them responsible when such might, such force such wealth exists as to simply DWARF anything and any power the Jews might hold is such an exercise in stupidity as to be incomprehensible to me.

Again, I explicitly said there is NO SUCH THING as a vast Jewish conspiracy. Rather, there are different Jewish social networks consisting of Jewish individuals who all believe to work in the best interests of the Jewish community by their own individual means. The people you describe as one such network. Some of the very powerful individuals within those networks cooperate with one another to achieve a singular goal, but that's as far as conspiracies go.

But you described how you as a Jew could pretty much start any career and be rich and powerful soon in only you wanted to because your Jewish connections make it pretty easy. That's an advantage only very few gentiles have, while it is far more common among Jews due to the Jewish social networks.

I don't need to create beliefs and seek to demonize in order to feel safe and make sense of things. Such behavior is only necessary for more feeble-minded creatures.

Pretty much. Most wars do not involve the needs and wants of large groups of people but only the needs and wants of a tiny elite powerful enough to use anyone lower in the hierarchy as cannon fodder.

Still... even if it were only 5 Jews who ran the most elaborate conspiracies the world has ever known with everyone else involved just following along blindly, it's still relevant that these 5 people at the top are Jewish.

I suggest you read the literature of Kevin MacDonald. As a psychology professor specialised in evolutionary psychology, he gives a detailed and objective analysis of Jewish culture and its influence on other cultures. You told me yourself that in your family alone there are many Jews at very high places. The power this generates and the consequences thereof should not be underestimated.

To quote Mayer Amschel Rothschild : "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws." This was true in his day and is still true today.

Yeah, again mate, you're being a bit silly, but we'll move onto the topic at hand if you don't mind...


Originally posted by PC equals Newspeak
That's not what I said. It is just an interaction of social networking with Jewish social networking being more effective due to the increased ethnocentricity and hence the increased ingroup-outgroup mentallity of Jewish culture. The anti-gentile elements of radical Talmudism and Zionism certainly also play a role, however to suggest that even a majority of Jews is involved in some well-defined global Jewish conspiracy is a leap of logic way beyond the spectre of real life. Some Jewish networks (especially the network around the Rothschild banking family) are involved in global political conspiracies, though, however they also cooperate with gentiles and most Jews are not part of these networks.


You SAID: "It's a fact that a lot of inside information travels within a network of Jewish peers but never reaches people beyond the network. This allows these people to buy and sell stock before that information reaches the media, which gives them an extra advantage."

... as though it was commonplace within Jewish society! This is called insider trading. Now who's ignorant or the "corporate world" as you put it?

I note that you state these things as though they are fact, but present nothing to support your... err, opinion of Jewish folk in the finance sector.


Originally posted by PC equals Newspeak
No you don't. That's just your own prejudice speaking.


Mate, I'm not the one drawing gross, unsupported generalisations. You are. That constitutes prejudice in my book.


Originally posted by PC equals Newspeak
They were restricted from many trades as a protective measure only AFTER their involvement in those trades had had a corrosive effect on gentile society. A few trades (like pimping and money lending) were allowed for pragmatic reasons only as there was a market for it but no gentiles willing to engage in such immoral activities.


Do you have anything to back this up at all? That Jews provoked these restrictions by their own actions in each instance?

Coz until you do, I'm saying it's utter rubbish. History speaks otherwise:

en.wikipedia.org...

Now find me all of the mentions of impropriety in business that provoked all of these atrocities and prohibitions on the Jewish people throughout history.


Originally posted by PC equals Newspeak
It was because of the very strong anti-gentile ethnocentricity within Jewish culture, not because of their genetic make-up. Don't turn this into a racist argument.


It looks pretty ugly for you either way.


Originally posted by PC equals Newspeak
In those days, most of the land was owned by arristocrats and common farmers rented their land. Therefore, this wouldn't have been an issue.


What wouldn't have been an issue? The fact that they weren't banned from agriculture? There may have been Jewish tenant-farmers, there may not have been any. I doubt there were many free land-owning farmers due to the prohibitions I already mentioned. I don't really care, to be honest. Really, it's not a huge factor in this discussion.

As little input and effort as possible?

la-zy
-adjective
1. averse or disinclined to work, activity, or exertion

Mate, you may not want to say it's laziness, but what you are suggesting is the same thing.

You may not want to be seen as a racist, but you bear all the hallmarks.

Your desired portrayal of yourself, and how you come across are two very different things.

Just because I don't buy into this whole Jewish victimisation nonsense, that doesn't make me a racist. Your prejudice shows as you failed to debunk even a single of my arguments and all you've done so far is giving a few strawman arguments, petty namecalling and prejudiced statements about my supposed beliefs. Typical liberal tactics....


Victimisation "nonsense"? Are you referring to the fact that they are the single most thoroughly-persecuted people group in the history of the planet? Yeah, OK.

I don't REALLY need to debunk anything you've said, because the only thing you've presented us with thus far is your decidedly skewed broad-brushed opinion about an entire group of people, never once attempting to qualify it with evidence or fact, and all the while bleating that you're not a racist.

Preposterous.

Actually my honest opinion on the bible, it was originally an Egyptian book...

Moses was to be Pharoah he was first in line actual written language was confined to priests and pharaoh at the time so he would have left Egypt with considerable ancient knowledge

It would have experienced changes then by fact I know despite the dedication of the Jews words within the torah changed over the years and I know this for fact and then it was translated and word MEANING tends to vary when that happens...

So I don't put much stock in the bibles exactness as we read it or even as jews read it

And mainly it seems to be a recorded history, the creation story for example (aside from translation to the word DAY) matches exactly sciences perception of the formation of the universe...

Moment of creation = Big Bang

Let there be light = stars formed

then he created the land... planets formed...

So I honestly see the Bible as a Book that was super-naturalized by my people

Not some prophetic predictor of history

As for the New Testament

It was written long after the death of Christ with many Gospels left out particularly the Gospel of Mary which I think offers so much night into Christs belief that religion itself is twisted without it.

I make no judgment on the nature of God or what Moses or Christ were in relation to God...


Simply that it's wide open for interpretation do to translation human error, misdeeds of intent.

But I do not believe the story of it's being handed to Moses on the Mountain I believe he transcribed it up there from older texts. And likely altered things to suit his purposes...

All I can say be it or not if Rothschild have anything to do with Zionism it doesn't even mean they were actually Jews by Fact nor that they had any good intent for Jews so it shouldn't be considered a "Jewish" Conspiracy if they simply want a homeland...

I'd be curious to know at the end of ww2 how many of those Jews even knew what a Palestinian was before they migrated there at the hands of others...

Once there after what went on you can expect a certain reaction to a new problem with people wanting them gone.. Be it a NWO thing Rothschild or simply England and America... the conspiracy was not a Jewish Conspiracy...

No more so than the settlers fled there to the New World in a "conspiracy" to fight with the Native Americans...

I'd have to ask you to elaborate on the question. In theory because he discovered he was a Jew, maybe maybe not he had a revelation from God in the Desert or maybe he was a very angry person, history would seem to indicate that he was quite a serious general.

As per what I believe is fact yes the Jews of those days, did cleanse as much of the area as they could.


Now for the record, I am not a a major supporter of Israel per say btw nor a Zionist, my personal belief is that inevitably Israel will suffer a major defeat due to Numbers and this is no answer. For sake of preservation of self I would never live in Israel as I see it as a very inhospitable location, it is too Central to the needs of too many powers, and the dominant religion of the area is far more massive by numbers and has a distatse for Jews in general pushed from the top down....

That is not response to your question just what I feel...

I often feel like in some manner the region is haunted, when you look at the path of early man through the area, this is a location where war and conflict as reigned for not Millennium but since the dawn of man, we find Cro Magnon man skulls along side Neanderthal man with bludgeoned wounds and surely this spot is where each group first encountered the previous out of Africa and slaughtered them.

I don't find the place very Holy frankly, i often wish the Jews of the region would leave for America. Sometimes I think loosing is winning.

IMHO if God actually intends us to be there he will deliver us there not the British.

OK PC,

It took me reading your posts several times to see what your trying to say. I have to disagree with you on several points that I think you are misguided on.

First of all what you are talking about as the "Zionist Agenda" is actually nothing more than a Mafia, a Ethnically Jewish Mafia.

This Jewish Mafia has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or the Jewish people outside of the Jewish Mafia no more than the Italian Mafia had anything to do with Italians out side of the Italian Mafia.

Please let me explain why this is so.

First of all wall street and the stock market is nothing more than World wide legal gambling. This legal gambling was created by this Jewish Mafia.

Banks are nothing more than world wide loan sharks money lenders this game was created by this Jewish Mafia.

The unconstitutional unapportioned federal income tax is nation wide quays legal racketeering created by this Jewish Mafia.

This Jewish Mafia is very smart, powerful and as old as it gets yes, but to say that the actions of this Jewish Mafia go beyond the Jewish mafia to other Jews, the Jewish religion is totally crazy and wrong.

The Jewish Mafia only uses poor Jews and rich Jews outside of their Mafia as the scape goat for when the world turns blood thirsty after loosing all they had on a fixed game.

Jews are wonderful people with a great culture and religion who are very nice to non Jewish people. The only part they play in any of this through out history is getting stuck with the bill for all the hatred the Jewish Mafia ran up.

You need to understand this.

It would be very easy for the world to bring down the Jewish Mafia only by cutting up their credit cards, giving banks the finger and only buying cheap land they can afford, make our government representatives stop representing the Jewish Mafia, and call wall street and the banks what they really are "the worlds biggest ponzi schemes".

Will this ever happen no. Why? Because we are stupid and love to hate people who are different and blame them for things they never even had a part in.

Just because both gentiles and Jews not with in the Jewish Mob are too stupid and end up selling off everything they had for nothing does not mean the Jewish Mafia's advantages are unfair. If you ask me it's appropriate and well deserved.

When you go in with money, land or any asset with any Mafia your definitely going to loose it. What your and anyone who whines about the Jews with out making the distinction that it's only the Mafia your talking about is like loosing all you money on a craps table in Vegas, crying about it and saying it's all the indians fault. Grow up and stop playing the Game.

It's just a small group of smart men who are part of the worlds organised crime biz. Except they robbed us all blind 100% legally, we are all that stupid.


This has nothing at all in any way to do with Jews their culture or religion. This should be well understood.

Moses was a general, Moses was in line to be Pharoah.

There is no telling what Moses might do in leading his people...

"GOD says to" Has been used by many men over time as rational for war, "god says to" Going on right now I believe...

The following information is taken from Wikipedia.

In the Elephantine papyri, caches of legal documents and letters written in Aramaic amply document the lives of a community of Jewish soldiers stationed in there as part of a frontier garrison in Egypt for the Achaemenid Empire. Established at Elephantine in about 650 BC during Manasseh's reign, these soldiers assisted Pharaoh Psammetichus I in his Nubian campaign. Their religious system shows strong traces of Babylonian polytheism, something which suggests to certain scholars that the community was of mixed Judaeo-Samaritan origins, and they maintained their own temple, functioning alongside that of the local deity Chnum. The documents cover the period 495 to 399 BC.

Further waves of Jewish immigrants settled in Egypt during the Ptolemaic era, especially around Alexandria. Thus, their history in this period centers almost completely on Alexandria, though daughter communities rose up in places like the present Kafr ed-Dawar, and Jews served in the administration as custodians of the river. As early as the third century B.C. one can speak of a widespread diaspora of Jews in many Egyptian towns and cities. In Josephus's history, it is claimed that, after the first Ptolemy took Judea, he led some 120,000 Jewish captives to Egypt from the areas of Judea, Jerusalem, Samaria, and Mount Gerizim. With them, many other Jews, attracted by the fertile soil and Ptolemy's liberality, emigrated there of their own accord. An inscription recording a Jewish dedication of a synagogue to Ptolemy and Berenice was discovered in the 19th century near Alexandria Josephus also claims that, soon after, these 120,000 captives were freed of their bondage by Philadelphus.

The history of the Alexandrian Jews dates from the foundation of the city by Alexander the Great, 332 B.C., at which they were present. They were numerous from the very outset, forming a notable portion of the city's population under Alexander's successors. The Ptolemies assigned them a separate section, two of the five districts, of the city, to enable them to keep their laws pure of indigenous cultic influences. The Alexandrian Jews enjoyed a greater degree of political independence than elsewhere. While the Jews elsewhere throughout the later Roman Empire formed private societies for religious purposes, or else became a corporation of foreigners like the Egyptian and Phoenician merchants in the large commercial centers, those of Alexandria constituted an independent political community, side by side with that of the indigenous population.

For the Roman period there is evidence that at Oxyrynchus (modern Behneseh), on the east side of the Nile, there was a Jewish community of some importance. It even had a Jews' street. Many of the Jews there must have become Christians, though they retained their Biblical names (e.g., "David" and "Elisabeth," occurring in a litigation concerning an inheritance). There is even found a certain Jacob, son of Achilles (c. 300 AD), as beadle of an Egyptian temple.

Again, you're wrong. Everything I've said is backed up by research. Especially the research of Evolutionary psychologist professor Kevin MacDonald provides a treasure of reliable information on this topic and his source material is almost entirely Jewish itself.

Social networks are a real and very common aspect of our economy. Some of these networks are elitist (eg. "secret societies" or "service clubs") while others are mundane (eg. anyone's public LinkedIn profile). The individuals involved in such networks use them to advance their careers, their social status and/or some personal agenda. Most of the time there is no explicit collaboration on a specific generally accepted agenda which is why it is unsuitable to speak of a conspiracy in such a case (which does not change the fact that some social networks are used by conspirators to help their own personal agenda).
