The Jeffrey Epstein spectacle is one of the biggest of its kind in the history of America ensnaring presidents and prime ministers. Some of the world\u2019s most influential men in cultural, financial and academic fields are allegedly implicated in predatory behaviour with underage girls. And it doesn\u2019t take a genius to observe that the Epstein drama is, unfortunately, a \u2018Jewish drama.\u2019<\/h5>\n<h5>Bloomberg, not exactly an \u2018anti-Semitic\u2019 outlet, dug into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2019-07-19\/the-complicated-orbit-of-jeffrey-epstein\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">The Complicated Orbit of Jeffrey Epstein<\/span><\/a>. Zionist enthusiast Leslie Wexner was identified as Epstein\u2019s \u2018patron\u2019. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/leslie-wexner\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Jewish virtual library<\/span><\/a> informs us that Wexner \u201coften support[s] ..

Why are so many Jewish men currently in the news in connection with sexually predatory behaviour? What is it about these rich and influential people that pushes them over the edge?<\/h5>\n<h5>And there are deeper questions that beg attention. Why is it that with so many Jews in academia and media ordinarily so clever in explaining in a \u2018professorial manner\u2019 the psychology and sociology behind every world development and political shift, not one has volunteered to explain the cultural, ideological and spiritual continuum between Weinstein and Epstein and beyond? How is it that the academics and think tanks that are so adept in analysing \u2018cultural clashes\u2019 and, as they call it, \u2018Islamofascism,\u2019 are unwilling to analyse the roots of the cultural crisis at the core of the Epstein saga? And I must extend this inquiry just one step further, why does the Jewish solidarity industry that cares so much for <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/jewishvoiceforpeace.org\/\">Palestine<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hias.org\/history\">Immigrants<\/a><\/span>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/jews-in-the-civil-rights-movement\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Civil Rights Movement<\/span><\/a> and <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thejc.com\/lifestyle\/features\/rainbow-warriors-the-jews-who-fought-for-lgbt-rights-1.485871\">LGBT<\/a><\/span> issues remain silent when it comes to the crimes committed, and on a mass scale, against underage girls just a few blocks from JVP\u2019s New York headquarters?<\/h5>\n<h5>I tend to think that it is just a question of time before we see the formation of \u2018Jews against Epstein\u2019 or some other racially exclusive \u2018Jews only\u2019 group of that sort. Dominating the dissent is a Jewish survival instinct. \u2018As Jews\u2019 they will protest against Epstein, Maxwell, Barak, Weinstein and Dershowitz just to make sure that the boundaries of criticism are kept within the safety zone. If this happens, the battle against pedophilia will slowly evolve into an internal Jewish dispute. Gentiles will be assured that Jews can safely take care of their problems.<\/h5>\n<h5>Some may argue that the sickening stories to do with Weinstein, Epstein et al have nothing to do with Jewishness, Judaism or the Jews. It is a legitimate contention that what we are actually dealing with are the predatory symptoms that can be associated with money and power. The argument is that capitalism and greed corrupts the rich and the powerful and that because Jewish men are over represented in these circles, they only appear to be disproportionately prone to such predatory symptoms. I could easily buy into such a theory. It certainly explains why sex crimes are prevalent within the Jewish elite as Haaretz was brave enough to admit. But it fails to explain the widely spread predatory behaviour within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishcommunitywatch.org\/wall-of-shame\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Rabbinical communities<\/span><\/a>. It is even less successful in explaining why a bunch of Israelis were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/twelve-israelis-suspected-of-running-child-sex-trafficking-network-in-colombia-1.6727909\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">caught recently in Columbia<\/span><\/a> apparently running a human trafficking network that specialised in marketing underage sex tourism packages for Israelis.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Not just the Rich and the Influential<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/.premium-israeli-police-arrest-22-haredim-for-sex-crimes-1.5453864\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">March 2017<\/span><\/a> Israeli police arrested 22 ultra-Orthodox Jews for sex crimes against minors and women.

Israel Became a Haven for Suspected Jewish Sex Offenders.\u201d The Israeli paper reported that \u201c65 suspected sexual offenders [are] allegedly seeking refuge in Israel.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>In July 2019 <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/child-advocates-blast-systemic-failures-in-israels-handling-of-sex-abuse-cases\/\">The Times of Israel<\/a><\/span><strong> r<\/strong>eported that \u201cDeputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman was alleged to have improperly intervened to aid at least 10 sex offenders from Israel\u2019s ultra-Orthodox community.\u201d Litzman, who is himself ultra-Orthodox and the leader of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism Party, \u201chad been questioned by police over suspicions that he had attempted to prevent the extradition of accused child molester Malka Leifer to Australia.\u201d<\/h5>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9qaHa3M8q8E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<h5>Malka Leifer was formerly the principal of an orthodox Jewish girls school in Melbourne and has been charged with as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qaHa3M8q8E\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">74 assaults against minors<\/span><\/a>. The extradition battle over Malka Leifer, who fled Melbourne in 2008 with the help of some in the local ultra-Orthodox community, has dragged on for several years, frustrating her accusers.<\/h5>\n<h5>In 2015 Michael Lesher, an orthodox Jewish attorney, published a book titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Sexual-Shonda-Concealment-Orthodox-Communities\/dp\/0786471255\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Sexual Abuse, Shonda and Concealment in Orthodox Jewish Communities<\/span><\/a>.\u201d In the introduction Lesher writes that his book isn\u2019t \u201cabout sexual abuse per se but on the dismal history of how far too many of those cases have been assiduously concealed both from the public and from the police: how influential rabbis and community leaders have sided with the alleged abusers against their victims; how victims and witnesses of sexual abuse have been pressured, even threatened, not to turn to secular law enforcement for help; how autonomous Jewish \u2018patrols,\u2019 displacing the role of official police in some large and heavily religious Jewish neighbourhoods, have played an inglorious part in the history of cover-ups; \u2026 how some Jewish (orthodox) communities have even succeeded in manipulating law enforcement officials to protect suspected abusers.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Lesher finds the Jewish media culpable. Jewish media outlets steer clear of stories about such predatory behaviour or at most publish them only sparingly. It would be reasonable to postulate that we are dealing with an institutional operation to conceal sex crimes that concern the \u2018Jewish orthodox ghetto.\u2019<\/h5>\n<h5>Far away from the Jewish orthodox ghetto, in Ayia Nap, Cyprus, next to the sunny Mediterranean Sea, a bunch of <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-5555394,00.html\">young Israelis<\/a><\/span> described by the Israeli press as \u2018the salt of the Jewish earth,\u2019 were falsely accused this month of a brutal gang rape of a young British citizen. The Israeli youngsters were eventually cleared and sent home. The 19 old British woman is now facing charges for falsifying a rape account.<\/h5>\n<h5>Unlike Orthodox Jewry whom Lesher claims conceal sex crimes and often take the side of the predator, as did Israeli Deputy Health Minister Litzman, the alleged Israeli gang rape was a headline article in every Israeli media outlet for almost two weeks. Israel didn\u2019t attempt to conceal the story. Israelis were discomfited by the saga and engaged in soul searching. In fact, the Israeli press was alone amongst the media to follow this horrible story closely.<\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-7264371\/Ayia-Napa-Briton-held-12-Israelis-took-turns-rape-hour.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">The Daily Mail<\/span><\/a> was probably the only British paper to produce a detailed account of the alleged gang rape. The British tabloid described the attitude of Israeli tourists to others on the Mediterranean island as beyond unacceptable. \u201cOther girls living at the Pambos Napa Rock hotel have told how they were constantly pestered for sex by Israeli men staying at the budget hotel. \u2018One of my friends was asleep in her room an Israeli came in and demanded sex. She screamed at him to get out, but the management do not seem to care.\u2019 Another male worker said a friend of his was followed into the ladies toilet and proposition for sex. \u2018He just held out some Euros and said he wanted sex. It is disgusting.\u2019 \u2018The Israeli men come up behind you and just stand there. Not many of them speak English and it is creepy. I had no idea what it was like here. I do not feel safe.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Many in Israel were relieved to read that the young Israelis were cleared of the serious allegations. And others may claim that the Daily Mail\u2019s description of the behaviour of young Israelis in Ayia Napa is not representative of Israel or of Jewish culture. After all, the Ayia Napa saga shares little in common with the Epstein\/Weinstein continuum. The Israeli suspects were not particularly rich or influential. The British woman who claimed she was raped wasn\u2019t underage. Yet the Ayia Napa story shares a peculiar similarity to the Epstein saga. When the Cypriot police examined the mobile phones of the Israeli suspects, they found a large number <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/cyprus-police-say-they-found-videos-of-alleged-rape-on-israeli-suspects-phones\/\">of videos of the event<\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n<h5>One may wonder what people video themselves engaged in intimate intercourse and even share such footage with others? Is it possible that they believe that the world surrounding them is a porn set? What kind of gratification is found in such images? Is it romantic memorabilia, libidinal enthusiasm or does it provide some other type of \u2018self assurance\u2019? Harvey Weinstein allegedly insisted that his victims watch him indulging himself. We may be tapping here into one of the most intimate aspects of narcissism. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-3688656\/A-fully-equipped-dentist-s-chair-close-photos-young-girls-backsides-eerie-images-videotaped-walk-billionaire-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-s-Florida-mansion.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Daily Mail<\/span><\/a> wrote that Epstein is \u201cbelieved to have used the cameras to tape his famous friends in sex acts with underage girls for blackmail purposes.\u201d And I wonder. Does this explanation also apply to the cinematic enthusiasm of the young Israelis?<\/h5>\n<h5>In December 2018, law enforcement authorities in Colombia suspected 12 Israelis of running a sex-trafficking network. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/twelve-israelis-suspected-of-running-child-sex-trafficking-network-in-colombia-1.6727909\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Haaretz reported<\/span><\/a> that the \u201calleged sex trafficking ring provided <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/colombia-turning-israelis-away-after-misconduct-by-israeli-tourists-1.6071297\">Israeli travellers<\/a><\/span> with \u2018tourism packages\u2019 that included prostitutes, some of whom were minors, who received between 200,000 pesos ($63) to 400,000 pesos ($126) in return for sexual services.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-5423075,00.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Ynet<\/span><\/a> revealed that the Israeli \u201csuspects reportedly scouted local schools, recruiting underage girls as sex workers for drug-fuelled parties, attended largely by Israeli businessmen and discharged IDF soldiers.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>These Israelis are alleged to specialise in the wide scale exploitation of minors. The consumers of these \u2018tour packages\u2019 are ordinary Israelis not Wall Street\u2019s financiers or Harvard professors.<\/h5>\n<h5>Here we may be detecting a significant and disturbing similarity among Epstein, the Israelis at Ayia Napa and their brethren in Columbia. While orthodox Jewish sex criminals target members of their own community, Epstein, the boys at Ayia Napa (as described by the Daily Mail) and the alleged criminals in Columbia prey on others. These others aren\u2019t necessarily Jewish or more likely, aren\u2019t Jewish at all.<\/h5>\n<h5>This may be the right point to introduce the problematic notion of the <em>Shikse.<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5><em>Shikse <\/em>is a derogatory term for a gentile woman or girl. The word, which is of <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yiddish_language\">Yiddish<\/a> <\/span>origin, is widely used by Jews and others many of whom do not speak Yiddish. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oxford_English_Dictionary\"><em><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Oxford English Dictionary<\/span><\/em><\/a>, the word came into English usage in the late 19<sup>th <\/sup>century. It is derived from the Hebrew word <em>sheqe\u1e63 (\u05e9\u05e7\u05e5 ) <\/em>meaning \u2018a detested thing.\u2019 In fact, the Oxford Dictionary is taking a light approach to the pejorative term. <em>Sheqes<\/em> is a Biblical Hebraic term that expresses abomination and disgust, especially towards a small animal that is unclean.<\/h5>\n<h5>The notion of the <em>Shikse<\/em> and the way in which it is utilised in reference to non-Jewish woman is as revealing as it is devastating. You might ask what crime non-Jewish women have committed to be labelled with such a horrendous and disrespectful term.<\/h5>\n<h5>Once again it is the genius work of Larry David who together with Jerry Seinfeld, brought to light the embarrassing as well as irritating fact that at least culturally, the <em>Shikse<\/em> is basically a Jewish sex object. It is a subject of Jewish male fascination and libidinal phantasy. The <em>Shikse<\/em> is an ideal date, a one night stand, a mistress, but not a wife. As you will notice in this<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> <a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vLRT47mvBig\">short video<\/a><\/span>, this applies to thirteen years old Bar Mitzvah boys, their fathers and even the local Rabbi.

Most Jews are likely embarrassed and disgusted by Epstein, Maxwell, Weinstein and Malka Leifer. And despite Israel\u2019s notorious record of human trafficking in the 1990s, the country is now one of the leaders in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.globes.co.il\/en\/article-us-state-dept-israel-leads-in-combating-human-trafficking-1001291636\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">battle against human trafficking<\/span><\/a>. As I noted in Part 1, the Israeli media published clear and reliable accounts of the Ayia Napa saga as well as all the other embarrassing stories of predatory sex scandals involving Israelis and Jews. On top of that, Tel Aviv is a gay capital, famous for its liberal approach to gender and LGBTQ.<\/h5>\n<h5>Yet, in contradiction to the openness described above, in the Jewish State women are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Israel\/Women-to-protest-Mea-Shearim-gender-segregation\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">segregated and essentially barred<\/span><\/a> from certain streets for \u2018religious reasons.\u2019 In the Jewish State women are <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/jewishjournal.com\/news\/israel\/86558\/\">segregated on public transport<\/a><\/span> for the same \u2018religious reasons.\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/opinion\/.premium-why-are-ultra-orthodox-men-so-afraid-of-women-1.5463808\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Haaretz writes<\/span><\/a> \u201cIn the ultra-Orthodox community today, not only do men and women not sit together at celebrations, there are even separate entrances to the places where the events are held.\u201d Haaretz explains the Jewish orthodox community is fearful of the corrupting powers of women and continues, \u201cthere is this fear they (male orthodox Jews) will not be able to withstand the temptation of being near women, and therefore they must remove even the smallest doubt \u2013 lest the evil urge cause them to commit a sin.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Jews are amongst the leading advocates on issues to do with women\u2019s rights yet Harvey Weinstein is at the centre of the #MeToo scandal. Many Jews claim to uphold the most precious universal humanist values yet prominent Jewish characters such as Wexner, Maxwell, Barak and Dershowitz are regularly in the news for their association with the Epstein sex trafficking affair.<\/h5>\n<h5>How can we encapsulate the contradictions presented by humane, progressive and liberal attitudes towards gender, rabbinical dark religious morbidity and the current chain of spectacular predatory criminal affairs with so many <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/.premium-not-just-weinstein-the-year-metoo-rocked-and-shocked-the-jewish-world-1.6480994\">famous Jews at their centre<\/a><\/span>?<\/h5>\n<h5>The issues to do with Jews, sexuality and abuse are confusing, ambivalent and multi layered. Although in the Jewish orthodox home it is the mother who has the dominant and most significant educational and spiritual role, rabbinical Judaism treats women as walking menaces. How are we to interpret that fact that the Judaic morning blessing includes a praise to God <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/who-has-not-made-me-a-woman\/\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">who has not made me a woman<\/span>\u201d<\/a>?<\/h5>\n<h5>Jewishness and Judaism can be realised as existing on fierce dialectical battle grounds. Jews are people distinguished by their relentless inclination towards self-negation. Some have observed that Jews can be defined (politically and culturally) as people who strive to stop being themselves while continuing to be themselves. Early Zionism promised to fix Diaspora Jews by means of a homecoming. It promised Diaspora Jews that it could heal their symptoms and make them \u2018people like all other people\u2019 and still stay Jews. Bolshevism promised to fix the Jews by proletarianization, it promised the Jews they could integrate into the working class, be proletarians like all other proletarians and still sustain their Jewishness. <em>Haskala<\/em> (Jewish Enlightenment) and Assimilation gave Jews the ability to look like goyim in the street while sustaining their Jewish identity behind doors. <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/haskalah\/\">Judah Leib Gordon<\/a><\/span> illustrated this idea with a simple problematic mantra: \u201cBe a Jew in your home and a man outside it.\u201d Liberalism and progressivism offer similar promises. Jewishness can be realised as a rebellious form of self-rejection, whose revolutionary inclinations are set in measured terms and restricted by overarching tribal interests and agendas.<\/h5>\n<h5>This radical trait of self-rejection is as old as the Jews. The Biblical prophets\u2019 harsh critiques, guided by their thorough self-reflection, offer us a glimpse into Judaic revolutionary dialectics. Judaism and Jewishness can be realised as the medium of the battle between those who adhere to the religion, the politics, the culture, the primacy of the tribe, the spirit of Judaism and Jewish revolutionary dissenters who oppose the above. This Biblical dialectic and rebellious spirit is embedded in Jewishness and Judaism and has never faded.<\/h5>\n<h5>Shabbtai Zvi was born in Izmir, Turkey in 1625 and became a Muslim in the 1660s. In between he managed to become a Jewish messiah and attracted the admiration of the vast majority of Jews around the globe.<\/h5>\n<h5>The movement that developed around Shabbetai Zvi became known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Shabbetaianism\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Shabbetaianism<\/span><\/a>. It evolved into a secret yet influential sect of Muslim Jewish converts called the Donme. The Shabbetains and the Donme embraced the theory of \u201csacred sin.\u201d They believed that the<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> <a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Torah\">Torah<\/a> <\/span>could be fulfilled only by amoral acts representing its seeming annulment.<\/h5>\n<h5>Zvi replaced the Ten Commandments with a new religious order based on 18 precepts that the Donme called \u2018Las Incommendensas.\u2019 Las Incommendensas included the Ten Commandments although the formulation of the prohibition on adultery is ambiguous, resembling a suggestion of prudence.<\/h5>\n<h5>One of the Donme\u2019s distinctive rituals was the <a href=\"http:\/\/perspectives.ajsnet.org\/transgression-issue\/the-redemptive-power-of-sexual-anarchy\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Festival of the Lamb<\/span><\/a>, celebrated in the spring. At least two married couples and often many more participated in the ceremony. For the first time that year, they ate the meat of spring\u2019s newly born lambs. After the meal, the lights were extinguished and couples made love without distinguishing among their partners. Children born from these encounters were considered sacred. The practice had its roots in pagan beliefs and orgiastic rituals known from other ancient cultures of the Middle East. The analogy between this practice and messianic rebirth after the days of the apocalypse is clear: the existing order will be abolished and instinctive needs will be freely enjoyed.<\/h5>\n<h5>The primary concept of Sabbatean theology was that when Zvi entered the Jewish arena, the messianic era had begun. In this new world, everything was turned upside down: the old law was cancelled, all the \u2018do not\u2019 commandments, including the strong prohibitions against incest, became \u2018do\u2019 mitzvahs.<\/h5>\n<h5>Jacob Frank was born in Podolia in 1726 to a wealthy Jewish Sabbatean family. Around the year 1755 it dawned on Frank that he was the true successor of Shabbetai Zvi. He gathered a sect of believers who were attracted by his charismatic personality. Frank formed a new, improved Sabbatean theology based on radical mystical symbols that were infused with destruction and nihilism. Frank addressed his followers: \u201cI came not to elevate your spirits, but to humiliate you to the bottom of the abyss\u2026\u201d By \u2018abyss\u2019 he meant sexual rituals that included sacred orgies with just a touch of incest.<\/h5>\n<h5>Both Zvi and Frank\u2019s theology, history and influence deserve deeper analysis. I touch upon them briefly to illustrate the dialectic force within Judaism. It was the rebellious Judaic spirit that opposed rabbinical rigidity. It was the detachment from nature, the human body and soil that brought about its counter movement and the obscene theology promulgated by Zvi and Frank. Zvi managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/shabbetai-zevi\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">excite the majority of his contemporaneous Jews<\/span><\/a>. He offered them the opportunity to emancipate themselves from themselves while being themselves.<\/h5>\n<h5>The revisionist populist messianic Shabbetianism that arose in opposition to rabbinical Judaism\u2019s prudish obsession with sex and gender central didn\u2019t disappear after Jewish secularization and emancipation in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, quite the opposite. It morphed into a set of authoritarian pseudo scientific discourses.<\/h5>\n<h5>The \u2018Oedipal Complex,\u2019 a notion introduced by Freud, was at least as sick as it was revolutionary. The idea that love between mother and son involves an \u2018oedipal complex,\u2019 an erotically driven murderous intent on the infant\u2019s part, is deeply troubling and has never been scientifically verified. Freud\u2019s theoretical attempt to reduce love, intimacy and compassion to mere (sexual) \u2018drives\u2019 suggests that Freud and his cult of avid disciples may have had severe deficits on the human side.<\/h5>\n<h5>Freud didn\u2019t resolve the complex Jewish relationship to sex and gender, he opened a Pandora\u2019s Box, and at least for a while, inflicted his own morbidity on the entire West.<\/h5>\n<h5>When Wilhelm Reich was ten years old, his parents allegedly hired tutors to prepare him for the gymnasium entrance exams. According to Reich, his mother had an affair with one of his tutors and the young Reich became jealous. Reich later claimed that he briefly thought of blackmailing his mother to have sex with him by threatening to tell his father about the affair. Eventually, Reich confided in his father, who reacted harshly. In 1910, after a protracted period of beatings from his father, his mother committed suicide, a consequence for which Reich blamed himself.<\/h5>\n<h5>That an influential man such as Wilhelm Reich, one who rightly claimed a major role in the sexual liberation of western women and children, had such a problematic \u2018beginning\u2019 interested me and led me to look into the origin of his \u2018Oedipal\u2019 confession.<\/h5>\n<h5>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Being-Time-Post-Political-Gilad-Atzmon\/dp\/191107220X\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Being in Time<\/span><\/a> I wrote that the person who brought attention to this disturbing incident was Wilhelm Reich\u2019s biographer, Myron Sharaf, an American psychotherapist and a Harvard academic. Sharaf was a student, patient, and colleague of Reich\u2019s from 1948 to 1954, and his book, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fury-Earth-Biography-Wilhelm-Reich\/dp\/0306805758?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&amp;tag=duckduckgo-d-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=0306805758\"><em>Fury on Earth<\/em><\/a><\/span> is widely regarded as the definitive biography of Wilhelm Reich.<\/h5>\n<h5>After reading Sharaf\u2019s account of Reich\u2019s \u2018blackmail\u2019 fantasy, I realized that it raised issues far more disturbing than the alleged incest incident (which I doubt actually occurred).<\/h5>\n<h5>The manner by which the affair came to light is itself rather peculiar. In late 1919 or early 1920, when Reich was about twenty-three and already a practicing analyst within Freud\u2019s circle, Reich wrote his first published article <em>, The Breakthrough of the Incest Taboo in Puberty. <\/em>In this article, Reich reported on \u2018a patient\u2019 who displayed certain \u2018Oedipal patterns.\u2019 The \u2018patient\u2019 was attracted to his mother, he was jealous of a visiting tutor who slept with his mother so he informed his father about his mother\u2019s affair, his mother was beaten and eventually committed suicide. According to Sharaf, there is little doubt that the \u2018patient\u2019 was Reich himself. Many years later Reich \u201ctold his elder daughter that the article was a self-analysis.\u201d (Myron Sharaf: <em>Fury on Earth<\/em>, pg. 40)<\/h5>\n<h5>This is a disturbing revelation. First, young Reich published a fabricated patient account in a scientific magazine. This alone is enough to discredit him, and there is more. Reich was under the spell of Sigmund Freud when he penned his \u2018revelation.\u2019 This suggests that Reich might have fabricated a patient\u2019s story in order to verify or validate his master\u2019s \u2018Oedipal complex.\u2019 Were fabricated tales of incest the path to gaining a position within the Freud academic orbit? Scientists and academics attempt to form theories that correspond with reality and facts: Reich, then a member of the cult of Freud, apparently reversed the scientific method, contriving \u2018facts\u2019 to correspond with a theory.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the 1930s when things turned sour for German and Austrian Jews, the Jewish \u2018left\u2019 was quick to diagnose what was wrong with \u2018the Germans.\u2019 Wilhelm Reich claimed it was their \u2018repressed sexuality.\u2019<\/h5>\n<h5>Reich posited that sexual liberation on a mass scale would save Marxist dogma and the working people as well. In chapter five of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mass-Psychology-Fascism-Wilhelm-Reich\/dp\/0374508844?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&amp;tag=duckduckgo-d-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=0374508844\"><em><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">The Mass Psychology of Fascism<\/span><\/em><\/a>, he declared war on the traditional patriarchal family which he saw as maintaining the core of mass conservatism: \u201cFrom the standpoint of social development,\u201d Reich wrote, \u201cthe family cannot be considered the basis of the authoritarian state, only as one of the most important institutions which support it.\u201d The traditional family is a \u201ccentral reactionary germ cell, the most important place of reproduction of the reactionary and conservative individual. Being itself caused by the authoritarian system, the family becomes the most important institution for its conservation.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Reich, a neo-Marxist, found both romanticism and traditional family values obstacles to socialist reform. Reich\u2019s vehicle towards the new world order was \u2018orgasm\u2019! In his 1927 study, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00DFFIM4S\/ref=x_gr_w_glide?caller=Goodreads&amp;callerLink=https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/339389.The_Function_of_the_Orgasm&amp;tag=x_gr_w_glide-20\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">The Function of the Orgasm<\/span><\/a>, he reached the conclusion that: \u201cthere is only one thing wrong with neurotic patients: the lack of full and repeated sexual satisfaction.\u201d In the hands of Reich, the Marx-Freud hybrid led to what some critical cynics dubbed \u201cgenital utopia.\u201d And isn\u2019t \u2018genital utopia\u2019 a fair description of the universe Weinstein and Epstein built around themselves?<\/h5>\n<h5>Reich\u2019s ideas evolved and spread rapidly in America and the West. Probably the most prominent proponent of such liberal ideas was the Frankfurt School and its primary star as of 1968, Herbert Marcuse.<\/h5>\n<h5>Marcuse focused on resolving the Freudian conflict between the Reality Principle (work orientated and leisure-less) and the Pleasure Principle (Eros). According to him, the conflict was between alienated labour and Eros. Sex, he declared, was freely accessible to those in power, namely the capitalists, but was available to workers only when it did not disturb their performance. Marcuse contended that in a proper socialist world we will manage without the labour of the \u201cpoor\u201d and without the suppression of sexual drives. He predicted that \u201cnon-alienated libidinal work\u201d would replace \u201calienated labour.\u201d Marcuse\u2019s theories offered a post Marxist interpretation of Reich\u2019s genital utopia.<\/h5>\n<h5>Of course, both Marcuse and Reich were totally delusional. As we know, sex and sexualization didn\u2019t liberate the working class. It did the opposite. Pornography is a distraction that helps blind the workless class from detecting the root cause of their plight. In reference to Marx\u2019s most misinterpreted adage, I allow myself to say, that at least in the post political era in which we live, \u201cpornography is the actual opium of the people.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>I doubt college dropout Jeffrey Epstein has read Marcuse, Reich, Zvi or Frank but he certainly put Reich-Marcuse\u2019s philosophy into practice. As it now seems, Epstein wasn\u2019t really a \u2018financier.\u2019 He hardly engaged in labour in any form and was totally consumed by the \u2018pleasure principle.\u2019 According to recent reporting, Epstein was dedicated to Eros except when he was amassing footage of his best friends fiddling with underage girls.<\/h5>\n<h5>The centrality of prominent Jewish names in the current predatory scandals can\u2019t be denied, but I do not at all contend that predatory behaviour or sexual morbidity is a Jewish trait or even something predominantly Jewish. Instead these incidents are consistent with a Jewish as well as Judaic revolutionary continuum driven by sexual obsession. This continuum includes Zvi, Frank, Freud, Reich, the Frankfurt School, Marcuse and many contemporary gender activists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/49717\/woman-forced-close-business-after-refusing-wax-amanda-prestigiacomo\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Jonathan \u2018Jessica\u2019 Yaniv<\/span><\/a> who made the state of his\/her hairy testicles into main stream news. This continuum may well also include Epstein, Weinstein and the many other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/.premium-not-just-weinstein-the-year-metoo-rocked-and-shocked-the-jewish-world-1.6480994\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Jewish celebrities<\/span><\/a> implicated in these far too many nasty predatory acts.<\/h5>\n<h5>Jewishness, as I see it, is a dynamic dialectical morphing spirit. It contains a bold critical attitude that often evolves into a sense of empowerment, grandeur, impunity and narcissism. This self-confidence often produces sensational scientific and social revolutions as well as spectacular artistic achievement. But it can equally help cause global disasters, social-disorder, financial meltdowns, spiritual confusion and spectacular criminal endeavours.<\/h5>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/gatzmon\/predators-united\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Wilhelm Reich and Freud to Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":109,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,37,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies","category-historic-sexual-abuse"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=192949"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192955,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192949\/revisions\/192955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=192949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=192949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=192949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
