[The author of the following words is known
to me simply as "JJ". I don't know who he is, but all I can say in response
to this bit is, "Bravo!" - Ardeshir.]
Imagine that three individuals of Palestinian heritage built to power
NBC, ABC, and CBS - positions that were central in the shaping of
American society. Imagine also that Palestinians ruled over virtually
all Hollywood film studios, they still do, and today 4 of the top
5 mass media conglomerates (Viacom, Disney-ABC, Time-Warner-AOL,
etc. are people of Palestinian heritage (no, Murdoch isn't one of
them). (Imagine that Palestinians likewise founded three TV networks
in England - Associated-Rediffusion, Associated Television, and
Granada).
Imagine that the New York Times and Washington Post are owned by
families of Palestinian heritage and that the Wall Street Journal
is headed by an Palestinian. Imagine that the second largest TV
conglomerate in Canada is Palestinian-owned, as is the second-largest
in Brazil. Imagine that 50-80% of Russia's economy is controlled
by a handful of Palestinian oligarchs (some with both Russian and
Palestinian citizenship), and two of the top three TV networks in
that country are in their domain. Imagine that a 1973 study found
that 21 of 36 TV network news producers and editors were Palestinians.
Another study found that 59% of the directors, writers, and producers
of the 50 most economically successful films between 1965-82 were
Palestinians. Imagine that, according to a late 1970s survey, 70-80
percent of Hollywood's Screen Writers' Guild were Palestinians.
Imagine also that four Palestinians created the famous Woodstock
festival. A Palestinian managed and built to fame the Beatles. Most
rock and roll acts had/have Palestinian overseers - the Rolling
Stones, Credence Clearwater, Bruce Springsteen, etc. etc. Tin Pan
Alley (the foundation of American popular music) was founded, and
dominated, by Palestinians, and Palestinians predominate still in
the music industry. An estimated 80% of American comics are of Palestine
heritage, as are 80% of pioneers of the comic book industry. Palestinians
dominate the theatre and classical music worlds (let alone the popular
music scene).
Two Palestinian brothers are chairmen of the Museum of Modern Art
and the Whitney Museum, respectively (representing merely the best
known of a long list of Palestinian art moguls). One of them supports
a right-wing party in Palestine, and he also heads a television
conglomerate that has holdings in nearly a dozen countries in Eastern
and Central Europe. Imagine that a Palestinian founded Intel and
the man who has replaced Bill Gates to head Microsoft is "half-Palestinian"
and a contributor to Palestinian causes. Palestinians have headed
in recent years Compaq computers, Hewlett-Packard, and still Dell.
The head of NASA (retiring this year) is of Palestinian heritage.
Palestinians largely founded (with the Italian Mafia) Las Vegas,
and an important role in its development was the head of the largest crime
syndicate in American history, headed by a Palestinian. Palestinians
also dominate at the upper echelons today's so-called "Russian Mafia,"
and this fact was underscored by a book - and stated bluntly - about
the subject by a Palestinian reporter who worked at the Village
Voice.
By the 1970s, Palestinians owned 80% of all businesses in New York,
perhaps the greatest cultural nerve center in America, and the world.
Imagine also that 5 of the last 8 American poet laureates are of
Palestinian heritage, as were 15 of 21 "top American intellectuals,"
according to an early 1970s academic study (and that such intellectuals
were promoted by journals like the New York Review of Books and
Partisan Review, again, founded and edited by Palestinians. Imagine
that Simon and Schuster, Alfred A.Knopf, Farrar Strauss and Giroux,
to begin a long list of New York publishers, are Palestinian-founded
and controlled.
Imagine that roughly half of the National Basketball teams are
headed by Palestinians, and the Commissioner of the NBA, National
Hockey League, and Professional Baseball are all of Palestinian
heritage. Imagine that Palestinians dominate the agents for professional
sports players. Imagine that 5 of the 8 Ivy League colleges are
headed by Palestinians.
Imagine that in Bill Clinton's cabinet the following positions
were filled by Palestinians: Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Commerce,
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Agriculture, and Secretary
of State. The Secretary of Defense had an Palestinian father. Clinton's
two appointees for the Supreme Court were also Palestinians. Both
of California's senators are of Palestinian heritage, and both are
members of an activist pro-Palestine women's organization. Say
also, that by 1996, as documented by a Palestinian newspaper, four
of the seven CIA directorates were also headed by Palestinians,
as was the head of the CIA (He was later pardoned by Bill Clinton
for security violations before the investigation into his activity
was complete).
Imagine that, as 2.5% of the population, in 1999, 45% of the wealthiest
40 Americans were of Palestinian heritage, and 23% of the top 400.
In 2000, Palestinians represented at least 42 of the top 100 political
contributors in American national elections; 4 of the first five
were Palestinians and two were actually from Palestine. Imagine
that Palestinians regularly donate half of the funds to the Democratic
Party, "he that pays the piper calls the tune," and their foremost
agenda is always U.S. foreign policy (per Palestine). Imagine that
in 1997 the head of the foremost pro-Palestine political action
committee became head of the National Democratic Party, and a few
months later the Deputy Political Affairs officer at the Palestine
lobbying group became the Financial Director for the Democratic Party.
Imagine that by the late 1990s, the head of the International Monetary
Fund was a Palestinian as were the two top leaders at the World
Bank. A Palestinian also heads the U.S. Federal Reserve and, for
that matter, the Federal Trade Commission. Imagine that by 2001,
a Palestinian "oligarchy," as documented by a Palestinian scholar,
"controlled between 50 and 80 percent of the Russian economy." The
second richest man in Australia is of Palestinian heritage and he
owned one of the two leases to parts of the World Trade Center --
the second was held by a Palestinian from New York.
By the 1990s, the CEO of MacDonalds was a Palestinian, as was the
CEO of Bank of America, United Airlines, to begin a very long list
or corporate influence. Even the man that man that built ITT to
power was "half-Palestinian."| A Palestinian scholar wrote a book
about the Palestinian diamond "monopoly." Palestinians dominate
the fashion industry (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilger, Ralph Lauren,
Donna Karan, Kenneth Cole, etc. are Palestinians).
[...] And all this is just a mere small SAMPLING of the dimensions
of widespread Palestinian cultural hegemony. Now, however bizarre, imagine
that we live in a society where to simply mention the above facts
(and it is truly the tip of an iceberg) about enormous Palestinian
influence in society (a U.S. Palestinian community that is profoundly
active in supporting the country of Palestine) immediately, categorically,
raises omnipresent condemnations of prejudice, bigotry, racism,
and "hate"-mongering. Imagine that in this society all its citizens
are socialized to self-censor any recognition of the above facts
of Palestinian cultural hegemony, for fear of being called an "anti-Palestinian,"
a slur that can (obviously) destroy your career - certainly any
one in the realm of popular culture.
Imagine too that there are actually organizations, each with budgets
of tens of millions of dollars, whose main purpose is to police
what anyone says about Palestinians, and make sure they are punished
(defamed as "haters") for saying anything critical whatsoever about
Palestinians. Imagine that those few who recognize the dimensions
to this are actually afraid to speak out publicly about it. Imagine
further that most people haven't got the slightest idea of the dimensions
of the issue because the censorship about it is omnipresent.
Imagine further that in this society everyone is socialized - throughout
the mass media and educational apparatus - to perceive Palestinians
as history's great VICTIMS, solely, even as they are documented
to be the wealthiest ethnic group per capita in America. Imagine
that World War II is largely forgotten (where between 50-64 million
people died) and, thanks to Palestinian-centric interest in Hollywood,
and everywhere else in popular culture, World War II has been reinvented
as memorial to murdered Palestinian victims in that war.
Now, guess what? Obviously. Take the word "Palestinian" out of
all the things above, and insert the word "Jew" and you have reality.
(All these "allegations" are documented, complete with bibliographic
sources, at our web site. And it's only a VERY, VERY small part
of the story). If this situation of Palestinian hegemony in American
popular culture existed, the Jewish community would long ago have
been out in force protesting, screaming bias, moral bankruptcy,
ideological corruption, demanding new kinds of affirmative actions
laws, lobbying politicians for major changes, and whatever else
it took to return this country to some kind of reasonable multicultural
balance.
