Thoughts on Jewish Power　

　

After winning the Presidential election of 1992, President Clinton promised to form a team of men and women who were going to reflect the human fiber of America. He proceeded to fill more than 50% of his appointments with Jewish individuals although they only represent 3% of the American population.

Among his many colorful appointees there was a very interesting Jewish character, a Mr. Robert Reich. In spite of bearing a last name reminiscent of bygone days of the German nation, this Reich is Jewish, and very happy about it. As a matter of fact, his recently released book, "Locked in the Cabinet", speaks to that.

We will quote, for the reader's enjoyment and intellectual torment, a very small part of the book. The quote that will follow reflects a dramatic double standard, but, that is nothing new and it is not the most serious element to emanate from this citation. Reich recalls his first meeting with Alan Greenspan, the "Oberjude" head of the Federal Reserve. Of Greenspan he starts saying that he is a "shy little Jewish guy". He then continued by adding:

"We have never met before, but I instantly knew him ... He is New York. He is Jewish. He looks like my uncle Louis, his voice is my uncle Sam. I feel we've been together at countless weddings, bar mitzvahs, and funerals. I know his genetic structure. I'm certain that within the last five hundred years ... we shared the same ancestor."

There should no longer be talk about "conspiracy" theories. A vital component is absent from the conspiracy picture, a component necessary to make a conspiracy a conspiracy. That component is secrecy. There is no more secrecy about Jewish power. The manifestation and the evidence of this subversive phenomenon is out in the open. Its arrival was celebrated with neon signs and colored balloons and was sealed with hundreds of deals President Reagan has made with the state of Israel. If you have eyes, you can see Jewish power. They are celebrating it right in front of us, and we are being billed for it. They are telling us to our faces that they are in charge. Jews now adorn their sentences with Yiddish or Hebrew terminology. They call their shiksas shiksas and goys goys. There is no need to spell it.

They boast about their power for two reasons: reason one is obvious; they have power and there is no equality beteween the stance of different minorities; reason two is less obvious; they have an uncontrollable emotional need to dance and feast over the suffering and the defeat of others.

This Robert Reich's hymn tells us that they no longer see a need to keep their appearances from us. They're bold, they need not to be cautious anymore, or so they think. How can we remain passive observers of this defiance?

Robert Reich's passing through the White House is already part of the history of America. He is an icon. "He is New York ... He is Jewish!", to borrow some of his own wording. He has been praised by the media as a genius. Is he a genius? Is a Jew anything else, but a genius? He is definitely respected at least just as much as Harvey Milk, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg, or Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. In a recent issue of Tikkun Magazine review (Vol. 12, No. 4) David Biale writes, as reviewing Robert Reich's book:

"The charm of his book lies, consciously or not, in a classic Jewish stance toward the pomp and pomposity of goyish power."

Robert Reich: "Mr. president [Greenspan], how can a shy Jew like you become the most powerful man in the United States ... you pimp of that robber band of yours."
