Taking the edge of the Zionist fascists? NPR makes sure the "sensitive" Jews overpopulate its staff

From:
Trying For NPR Job? Helps To Be Named ‘Ari Shapiro”

(Occidental Observer) -- by Christopher Donovan -

On the drive home from work the other day, I was listening to an NPR report on a math geek get-together in Boston.

What got my attention wasn’t the story, but the name of the reporter: Ari Daniel Shapiro.

The insertion of the middle name “Daniel” was perplexing, until it became clear that they were trying distinguish him from NPR White House correspondent Ari Shapiro.

But then I had to laugh— really? Two Ari Shapiros, working for the same news organization? I mean, dismiss conspiracies about Jewish media control if you will, but this one is just too hilarious to ignore. Two (I presume) totally unrelated men, both with same first and last distinctly Jewish name, both talking up their take over the taxpayer-funded national public radio service.

The “greater” Ari: “GOP presidential candidates make bid for Jewish vote“

The “lesser” Ari: “Jewish holiday celebrated by Occupying Wall Street”

Whatever. Their tastes, their interests, their spin— they bend in a predictable fashion.

And of course, two Ari Shapiros isn’t just a silly coincidence. It’s a very real pattern of domination and exclusion. I note from the “greater Ari” bio how perfectly he fits the profile of the NPR preference: He’s Jewish, he’s gay (and “married”), he went to Yale, he’s young, he sings for a group called Pink Martini. He’s like the Nazi poster of the blond Aryan superman— substituting the NPR ideal for Hitler’s. His mentor, Nina Totenberg, must be so proud.

The “lesser” Ari (at least in terms of NPR appearances) is no slouch, either (St. Andrews, MIT), but his resume betrays a commitment to his own Jewish identity and liberal causes, when he’s not focused on the science stuff...MORE...LINK

I tend not to distinguish between Zionist and non-Zionist Jews, because I don't believe that either group has a traditionally American or Western worldview. And when the talking ends, I'm not really convinced that the average progressive or anti-Zionist Jew wouldn't have attachments to Israeli Jews that would make him worthy of suspicion from other Americans. In other words, I believe that most of the anti-Zionist blather coming from most progressive American Jews is due to concern for fellow Jews, rather than out of a concern for the harm that supporting Israel does to the common good of non-Jewish Americans. They don't want to see Israel harm itself, or the interests of Jews in general, where I see no reason that Americans should be attached to, or concerned about, the situation in Palestine at all.

Other than the often phony disagreement on the issue of Zionism, Zionist and non-Zionist Jews tend to agree on many issues. If very many average Jews disagree with the large Jewish organizations and media on anti-Christian and anti-white stances, or a general radical activism that pits other racial, religious or ethnic groups against one another to the benefit of Jewish power, they rarely make themselves heard. It is rational to view Jews as largely monolithic when they tend to be very shifty and nuanced in their criticisms of one another, and tend to hold similar opinions on most issues.

I would tend to agree, that organized Jewry (Diaspora and Israeli) can be viewed as a single "nation" pursuing its own interests and agenda.

As with all nations, there will differences of opinion between the right and the left, the conservative and the progressive, (or whatever categories).

The essence of the Jewish nation's international leadership is fascist, no doubt, and always has been. Even the Jewish Bolsheviks formed a self-serving, fascist nation within communism.

I credit those Jews who aren't fascist who have left the nation and joined Christianity and/or assimilated into Western values, or are assimilating, although I fear the potential for pernicous influence and residual fascism/bolshevism if they haven't fully exorcised their Jewish demons, and their capacity to revert to Jewish modes of thought.

But we all must overcome our irrational tribalism while simultaneously protecting our Christian/Greco-Western values from those who would drag us back into the tribal mire.

For example, in addition to the influence of communism/leftism, I fear a pernicous Judeo-influence emenating from the Old Testament that has the ability to flip even non-Jews into irrational, obsessively tribal Jewish modes of thought.

This is where our rational Greek background must be drawn upon, to analyse every situation objectively and rationally so we can make the correct final decision within the context of Christian morality to the best of our abilities.

My intent was to give an opinion based on observations, rather than express tribal opinions of my own.

I'm personally far more characterized by individualism than by tribalism. But I understand that mankind is largely tribal by nature, and that ethnocentrism and tribalism are not original to Jews. That being said, I think that Jewish tribalism is a far bigger threat at the moment than either Christian or white tribalism is to Jews. However, I understand that the situation can change quickly with absolutely no input from me.

Ironically, I read an article by a Jewish writer that illustrates my point pretty well that there really isn't much difference between progressive Jews and neoconservative Jews in either goals or tactics.

I agree, absolutely. Indeed, I would say that Jewish tribalism has always been the bigger threat. As I see it, Jewish tribalism essentially spawned Nazism in a dialectic process--which makes Jewish tribalism probably the biggest threat to Jews, as well.
