Alot of Jewish Friends

Via Frontpage:

MOSCOW - A group of nationalist Russian lawmakers called Monday for a sweeping investigation aimed at outlawing all Jewish organizations and punishing officials who support them, accusing Jews of fomenting ethnic hatred and saying they provoke anti-Semitism.

In a letter dated Jan. 13, about 20 members of the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, asked Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov to investigate their claims and to launch proceedings “on the prohibition in our country of all religious and ethnic Jewish organizations as extremist.”

The letter, faxed in part to The Associated Press by the office of lawmaker Alexander Krutov, said, "The negative assessments by Russian patriots of the qualities and actions against non-Jews that are typical of Jews correspond to the truth ... The statements and publications against Jews that have incriminated patriots are self-defense, which is not always stylistically correct but is justified in essence."
...
“It is possible to say that the entire democratic world today is under the monetary and political control of international Judaism, which high-profile bankers are openly proud of,” the letter says.

Along with outlawing Jewish organizations, the lawmakers call for the prosecution of “individuals responsible for providing these groups with state and municipal property, privileges and state financing.”

UPDATE: Apparently the blood libel has been "withdrawn".

UPDATE: Following a tip from Ivan, we find this:

Proust was half Jewish. Dorothy Parker was half Jewish. Frida Kahlo was half Jewish. Paul Newman and Robert de Niro are half Jewish. Walter Mosley is half Jewish and half black. Adrienne Rich is half Jewish but solved it by identifying as Lesbian. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leading Russian right winger, is half Jewish (and clearly crazy); Grigory Yavlinsky, the leading Russian liberal, is half Jewish. From my perspective, (am I the only person who has realized this?) anybody with one Jewish parent is half Jewish. Most half-Jews don't realize it: we are invisible even to ourselves...

Hmm.

Also: I use 'alot' as one word. I don't hold the line in linguistic matters, I'm not the Academe Francais.

UPDATE: Steyn.

And a bit more at the cross-post.

Ja.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Prime Minister of Russia at least nominally Jewish?

Jew conspiracy to control the world...hmmmm

I'm thinking of a name, can anybody guess who I'm thinking of?

ROFL!

The funniest thing is that Zhirinovsky, whose photo was on Drudge and who leads this noble effort against the global Jewish conspiracy, is in fact half Jewish. He used to try to hide it, but then came out, saying in effect, "Yes, my father was Jewish, but I still stand by all of my anti-semitism"
He is basically the Michael Moore of Russian politics, making himslef big by clowning and spreading hatred.

How comforting to know that Russia is still... Russia.

Sorry to split hairs here, but "alot" is not a word. It always jumps out a me when I read it.

That is all.

Interesting update. Thanks for the link, Unpolulist. The article is interesting, though disgustingly partisan. If Zhirinovsky is a right-winger, then I am Stevie Wonder. Further down in the article, talking about Reagan, he basically equates racism with right-wing.
I looked who he is: a British professor living in San Francisco. Well, no surprise here.

How sad to see that such old-school "Elder of Zion" style anti-Semitism is still alive and pustulating. Not that new improved anti-Semitism would be better but for its originality.

Posted by: vonKreedon on January 26, 2005 03:22 PM

Aha! I found it! The current President of Russia, Mikhail Fradkov, is Jewish at least on his father's side. The usual suspects (Zyuganov and Zhirinovsky) opposed his nomination.

Blame the Joos!

So Ace,

Didn't you publish a post a few months ago where the EUrocrats had done a study and determined that Jews were actually themselves to blame as the source of world-wide antisemitism? Of course after watching George Soros trying to manipulate our election the way he manipulates third-world economies... Hey, wait a minute!

Actually, there is historical precident for this in Russia that goes back 200 years. I talk about it on my site here:

Ivan,

Admittedly, I didn't read all that deeply, but I figured by "right-wing" he meant right-wing in the European sense--as in "nativist."

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
