#1 But why would these crazy ideas take hold in America? Because Marxism has slowly but surely crept inward from the far left in this country, most recently in the form of the social justice movement, and Marxism is an elaborate form of Jew-hatred.

Fascinating article and Brennan insights.

#2 I thought so, Besoeker. I hope our Langley lurkers find it useful as well. It is as much for them as us that I posted this.

#3 Never heard of Limpieza de sangre or Nazi Race laws, her mother?

#4 CIA changed from being operationally driven to being driven by the analysts. Spies who cultivated terrorist assets no longer set the tone. The baton had passed to the wonks in Langley.

Returned to the above in a second reading.

"Cultivating" or recruiting foreign sources 'be hard' and very time consuming. Recruiting domestic political assets is much easier and safer.

Why serve the master when you can become the master. He did not graduate from St. Andrews, you did. The phenomena did not originate here, it was imported from perfidious Albion.

#5 Never heard of Limpieza de sangre

My take was that it was Dad who was Jewish, not Mom, so quite possibly she did not know about Limoieza, nor think much about Nazi laws, considering the latter to be a special case not to be repeated.

#6 Marxism is not an elaborate form of antisemitism. Marx, a plurality of the Bolshevik leadership, a significant number of American communists and communist spies in in 30's, 40's and 50's were jews. It's an anti religious ideology but not antisemitic

#11 QFT: Every intelligence officer I spoke with performed this sleight of hand. Yes, antisemitism exists, and is serious—but only as a right-wing problem, and as a Western phenomenon. The Hamas-loving kids on American college campuses? Overblown, irrelevant. The Palestinian children being given military training by terrorists? Not the issue.

#12 #6 You say: "Marx, a plurality of the Bolshevik leadership..., in in 30's, 40's and 50's were jews. It's an anti religious ideology but not antisemitic." I think Zinoviev, Kamenev, Radek, scores of Russian Jewish doctors, and the large number of Jews who accompanied Lenin from exile on his train to Russia during WWI would disagree with you.

#13 Behind the Headlines: How Stalin’s Plan to Annihilate USSR Jews Was Thwarted
January 8, 1974
For centuries Jews throughout the world have been celebrating Purim as the day when the Jewish population in ancient Persia miraculously escaped a general massacre prepared for them by Haman, the grand vizier of the Persian King Ahasuerus. Purim became a day of merriment in Jewish history. The day of March 5–when Stalin died in 1953 from a stroke–should similarly be marked by Jews as a miraculous day to remember. His sudden death came as a great miracle for the 3,000,000 Jews in the Soviet Union. It thwarted his plans, scheduled to be started the next day, to annihilate the Jews in Russia through mass-pogroms and deportation of all surviving Jews to slave labor camps in remote Arctic regions to die there a slow and tortuous death. The signal to this brutal plan was to be given March 6 at the opening of the notorious “Doctors’ Trial” at which six prominent Jewish and three non-Jewish physicians were accused by Stalin falsely of having plotted to poison him and other Soviet leaders in the Kremlin. The trial was cancelled immediately upon Stalin’s death, the physicians were released and rehabilitated. Soviet Jews–who lived in mortal fear during weeks of intensified anti-Jewish propaganda in the Soviet press preparing the climate Stalin wanted for the trial–breathed freely.

#14 All that actually matters about marxism in particular and leftism in general is that it is at its foundation totalitarian and anti-individual.

Be anti-totalitarian. Celebrate individuality.

#16 It's an anti religious ideology but not antisemitic."

No reason they can’t be anti-religious in general as well as ladle on an extra dose of Jew-hate.

a great miracle for the 3,000,000 Jews in the Soviet Union.

Nes gadol hayah sham. I keep forgetting about that one, Huputle Cherelet4131 — thank you for reminding me.
