WEEKLY WARNING WORDS
March 31, 2004 - Week 28 - Unadulterated Anti-Semitism
BY DR. BRUNO J. KEITH
I was offered free lodging and a good number of entrance tickets to all my favorite Olympic contests in Atlanta by a very successful (read rich) engineer from East India who was with me the only other non-gambling tourist on a cruise ship from Bombay to Antarctica and on and on.
A charming crew member had been a British Olympic gymnast. Married to an Irish magician, she had several other jobs including entertaining cruise kids. She confessed to me, a long-term old friend, that she was not the magician who could handle older children in their teens. That was when this superannuated teacher took over. We had some clean fun but also delved into books, biographies, history and all present needs and challenges. Of the over 30 young friends I made a few kept corresponding and made my struggle with cancer almost bearable.
The newly-rich owner of a large Atlanta engineering firm thanked me several times for what I did for his son's enlightenment and for giving hell to a South-African and an Australian woman when they asked me if I couldn't see that the clever boy was colored. My reward was the father's instant really-Olympic offer. A few days after I accepted his kind gift, the big Indian rebuked me for accepting an invitation by 2 English-Jewish girls to share their Passover service and the "seder" meal.
Was I shocked when the Hindu segregationist daily rebuked all young Jews for their ambition, their will to learn just everything and thereby turn into successful adults who want to control the world. For too many of my precious minutes, that man from the East lectured me on the millions those Jews would make through their giftedness and their urge to rule the world until his slanders got me to remark something like: "Are you not describing yourself, your own concentration on accumulating the world's wealth and blame better folks for your lack of character? Is jealousy your mean main motor, or had you already pre-conceived your vicious calumniations before you ever met the first brilliant Jew? I was involved in the education of such young Jews, got inside their thoughts, their fervor for highest education and their customary humanitarian élan, just what your Olympics profess to aim at. I can not cohabit with such an evil caste-cast intellectual hoodlum like you. I would burn the entrance tickets if you still forced them on me." I thought I saw him in the ship's gambling casino when I walked through it to my Passover hostesses. Maybe the 2 female segregationists were right although I wouldn't let that s.o.b. suffer for the crime of his father.
Of the numerous other professional Jew-haters of many races, religions and strange indoctrination I met in schools, political congregations or on my many cruises and land tours I mention just one telling example: A non-caring travel agent had scheduled me for a JAL (Japan Airline) flight from Honolulu to Tokyo. I was seated in the non-smokers' section where dirty and stinky ashtrays were fixed in front of me and everywhere else.
As soon as our plane had reached its flight and activity level, the hundred flashes of cigarette lighters made the huge cabin a sea of light for the unenlightened and a smelly smoke-recycled hell. Unfortunately I had an aisle seat next to a step between slightly uneven levels of behavior. Dozens of smokeheads forced themselves through with their dirty stinkstick between their lips. My temper began to well up when a such like young Nipponese seated himself right on my step. A nice stewardess attempted to rid me of the smoky molester. To no awail. The captain wouldn't support me.
I told the fellow below me: "I am the captain of my fate", and hit him with my left elbow while pulling that offending cigarette out of his jaws. For a moment he was speechless. Soon he said: "My Jewish professors in Berkeley also hate smoking. They are too smart for me, too demanding, too democratic; they also hate Japan." Next he wanted to know whether only Jews still remembered Pearl Harbor. My retort was a declaration of war: "Hirohito didn't make himself and his pirates popular to educated Americans and the rest of the civilized world."
Still, the punk kept talking about Jewish economists who had pretended to help in the recovery of his country but would take advantage of Japanese simpletons exactly the way "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" had warned him of when he still was in high school. I asked the "learned" anti-Semite: "Did you know any Jew at that time?" - "No," he admitted "I never knew a Jew back home. But I remembered my reading the truth about all Jews when an older fellow-student from my own Ken recommended that I attend lectures of a professor with a Jewish name. You know we all hated the Jews because they started World War II."
I accidentally hit the lying hater with the heel of my boot but couldn't start World War III against the profiteers of the American love for defeated enemies. Later he asked me if I knew Ishii, the Japanese golf star of Hawaí'i. I said I did but didn't want him to waste his cigarette breath on an old historian who knows and loves the truth.
We can dispense with the enumeration of thousands of like-"minded" haters because Mel Gibson made himself the spokesman for all pious, dogmatic slanderers. It is the Gospel-Truth that "The Passion of the Christ" exploits the ancient canard of self-hating Jews like Saul-Paul, Simon-Peter and all the Greek idolators who saw in Holy Trinity the acceptance of their murderous culture. We like the memorized one-liners of the slightly older and better educated Hillel and the prophets whom Jesus (not a Jewish name for that Jew) quotes and admits doing exactly what they forecast for their son of man, the exiled and devastated Jewish nation. He tells also that he cites fables, paradigms, allusions, allegories and parables which we now read as truths or facts.
Historians wonder why there are no other reliable witnesses for the 4 gospelers. 2 Jesuit priests who tried to convert this writer into a Jesuit, and also a half-namesake graduate student of history, confessed twice that one couldn't believe the evangelium but could still like the hymns and the free wine in quantity available to Jesuits. As army chaplains they found a way to check for the Jesus witnesses of Josephus, Pliny and another but found them only at the end of incomplete papyrus in strange ink and scribble. Historians are not allowed to test veracity. So why should Jews believe unless they feel with St. Augustine: "Creo quia absurdum est." I believe it because it is absurd.
Like the Tsar's secret police hoodlums, Gib or Gibe-son outdid his Jewish Holy Voodoo competitors, giving aid and comfort to declared enemies in time of war. He commercializes his cult and keeps dividing the world like his President. Religion of the heart is worthy of the Prince of Peace. Religious people keep their faith to themselves. Once you wear it on your shirtsleeve, you mock it as an advertising gimmick and reinforce Mohammed's murderous command: "The sword is the key to Heaven and Hell". But I say unto you that only the heart can be the epicenter of modern democracy.
45 years ago, I managed to read all 114 Suras of the Qoran in Egyptian Arabic. My attempt to understand the whole Bible in 32 languages made me doubt almost every word or phrase. The translators had misinterpreted meanings which seemed simple and clear in Hebrew. Their Jesus couldn't have understood himself. Only violent Mel Gyp-son knows the whole truth or thrust. Whatever the well-educated scholar may think or believe, the true believer will be glued by his childhood exposure to his faith as he sees it. Yet, when the lord and owner determined which religion or cult his serf, servant or subject had to adopt, all fell quickly in line, and their children were born in this new and true religion. What a revelation this is!
To a historian it appears that the Jesus of the 4 gospels and Paul's words was a believer in ahimso, the non-violence of the Buddha, Emperor Asoka and many others who rejected their own family to roam with their "boys". Some of them preferred animals to human beings. But would they slander, hate and endanger the lives of those who reject their "mission"? I doubt that extreme love can ever emanate from rootless self-indulgence? Ignorance is Mel's only excuse for his crime which could engender holocausts for 2 more millennia.
