Irish Savant – irishsavant.net Dec 18, 2022

You’ve probably read about the DealBook Summit held in New York recently. Sponsored by the ((New York Times)) and directed by ((Andrew Ross Sorkin)) it was more like a Bar Mitzvah than an economic conference, featuring as it did such luminaries as Janet Yellen, Mark Zuckerberg, Vladimir Zelensky, Benjamin Netenyahu and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. In fact the only goy of consequence was that back-stabbing Judas Mike Pence. However the star of show was Samuel Bankman-Fried who appeared to thunderous applause on video link from his lair in the Bahamas. This was shortly before he was arrested by the fine upstanding Bahamian law enforcement officers for robbery on a monumental scale.

He’s likely to be extradited to the USA where his fate will be decided by his good friend and enabler SEC Chairman ((Gary Gensler)) and judge ((Ronnie Abrams)) in no less a setting than the ((Southern District of New York)), otherwise known as The Wailing Wall. I personally believe that Gensler and Abrams will set all ethnic and religious considerations aside and deliver Justice in its purest form. I mean, just look at Gary here. His thirst for justice is palpable, the fire of righteousness, honed on the Iowa farm where he grew up, shines through his handsome countenance. And I’m confident that the fact Judge Ronnie attended Jeffrey Epstein’s alma mater and her husband was on Robert Mueller’s team ‘investigating’ Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election will have no bearing on her handling of the case.

But some cynics disagree with me. They think that Sam will walk, or else get Epsteined, ending up in a luxury seaside villa in Israel. After all, they’d argue, Israel has form when it comes to harbouring Jewish criminals fleeing justice. They think he could even be honoured formally like arch-criminals Robert Maxwell (Ghislaines’s daddy) and Jonathan Pollard who betrayed the country where he was born and reared by robbing its advanced military secrets and passing them on to ‘America’s Greatest Ally’. Which then sold them on to America’s Greatest Enemies.

What’s this got to do Jordan Peterson, the man famous for telling other men to clean up their rooms? Well you probably know that he has taken up a lavishly-rewarded position with Ben Shapiro’s media operation. You also know that if Ben is forking out this many shekels he’ll want his pound of flesh. And he got it in spades at a recent seminar in Israel billed this way by the organisers:  “We couldn’t think of a better opening for the new year than with an event like this, with the participation of our three greatest minds, in a conversation about preserving the values ​​of freedom that shape the destiny of Western civilization [sic]. I hope that this festive event will spark the beginning of a broader and more balanced discussion.”

Given that the audience represented the ‘cream’ of Israeli society I imagine it would have included many of the gangsters now roosting by the Med while their fleeced and impoverished victims impotently nurse their losses back home. It might even have included Jonathan Pollard given that his BFF Netenyahu played a prominent role at the event. And probably representatives of the hasbara schools and the thriving Israeli body-parts-for-sale industry. Peterson knew his audience and hit them hard: “You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. You’ve fomented wars in your own interests and get us to finance and fight them. You’ve stolen our military and technology secrets and sold them on to the highest bidders, often our enemies. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolised our freedom, debased our education, and have almost extinguished our flame.”

Naw, he didn’t say that. In fact these were Peterson’s concluding remarks:  “As Jews in Israel, are you telling the greatest story ever told? Well, you decide that by how you live. And what you do will affect the world – for one reason or another, it’s not so easy to understand, everyone looks here to see, well, how are you actually doing, under this tremendous assault of adversarial criticism, as this little, tiny people in the middle of no man’s land in some real sense, as a -what would you say – cardinal model of the nation-state and the city on the hill. You have a tremendous moral responsibility, like you have, perhaps, for your entire history, for reasons that are very difficult to understand, and I think it is true, in some real sense, that the fate of the world depends on the decisions of the people of Israel. Just as the fate of the world depends on the decision of every individual, so you make yourself a shining light on the hill, right? You attract people here because of what you’re capable of doing. You show the world what the holy city could look like. Because we need it. We need it, and it’s up to you to do it. Thank you very much.”

Yes, JP believes that our moral salvation will come by way of Jews in general and Israelis in particular. His delivery of these remarks was nothing less than stomach-churning as he dissolved into a weeping quivering mess on reaching the end. Jordan, Jordan – all the shekels in the world couldn’t compensate for such a display of self-abasement.

What if anything does he really stand for? I can in all honesty claim I could never ‘get’ him. He always struck me as a stupid person’s idea of a clever person. Asked on one occasion “do you believe in God?” he responded with “I could talk for forty hours on what each word of that question means”. Which surely begged the follow-up “maybe you could but would you just answer the question?”. He is also tendentious and inconsistent on the issue of race. He declares any argument based on racial differences to be “so muddleheaded that you hardly know where to start” but confines his criticism to Whites who apparently have no right to take pride in European cities just because you “happen to have the same skin color as some of the people” who built them. Strangely enough he has an entirely different attitude towards Native Americans who he encouraged to celebrate their unique culture and heritage. And he has no problem with assigning disproportionate Jewish wealth and power to their high IQ while simultaneously professing outrage when differentials between Whites and blacks are attributed to the same cause.

In fact it’s reasonable to see him as a gatekeeper put in place to gaslight Whites – White males in particular – away from focusing on their real problems. After all he’s been branded a far-right male chauvinistic conspiracy theorist so he must be on our side, right? Whether he set out with this gaslighting role in mind I don’t know but his rise has been suspiciously meteoric. Was it worth it?For me nothing is worth the ritual humiliation he endured in Israel.

Bank your shekels Jordan and fadeaway while you still retain a scintilla of self-respect.
