Character AssassinationAnd Politics
R.E. Prindle
More dangerous is that a Trumpadministration would give respectability and power to the gutter voices ofAmerican politics.
They meet in secret.Men of immense wealth; a woman of limitlessambition.Their passports are Americanbut their loyalties are not.Throughtheir control of international banks and the media they manipulate publicopinion and finance political deceit.Their aim is nothing else than the annihilation of American politicalindependence, and they will stop at nothing- including rigging a presidentialelection- to achieve it.
as quoted by Bret Stephens.
Mr. Stephensin his WSJ article of 9/18/16 titled The Plot Against America.Sneaking up on the reader the McCarthy quoteabove was presented as Mr. Stephens own words.Mr. Stephens says:Astute readerswill note the quotation of a speech, there was no indication that it was aquote, delivered…by Joe McCarthy.I suppose there are astute readers who immediatelyrecognized the quote.I wasn’t one ofthem.One does note, however, how timelyGunner Joe’s speech is in relation to today.The ‘conspiracy’ rolls merrily along.Why is it a conspiracy and not just politics.It is open for all to see.Google The Committee For PublicRelations.Subscribe to theirmagazine:Foreign Affairs.Read H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy.There isn’t any hidden conspiracy here, it isa political program.
Mr. Stephenslinks the ‘gutter politics’ of McCarthy to the ‘gutter politics’ of DonaldTrump,‘Donald Trump alights on theCompleat Conspiracy [he says].Anti-Semites are thrilled.’Oh,we see, the Fuehrer has returned.Dum dedum dum.As improbable as it may soundTrump is accused of starting the ovens up for a replay of the ‘never again’holocaust.Ah, if only Hitler and Trumphad been strangled in their cradles the 40s and today’s replay wouldn’t bepossible.
ForgetMcCarthy’s conspiracy, Mr. Stephens as apparent spokesperson for the Jews hasconcocted his own immense conspiracy.
Pat Buchananwould be its intellectual godfather, Ann Coulter and Ms. Ingraham its highpriestesses, Breitbart and the rest of the alt-right web its publictrumpets.American Jews shouldn’t haveto live the 1930s in order to figure out that the ‘globalist cabal’ might meanthem.
Ah so,number one son, I see, even though not of the alt-right or part of anyconspiracy, large or small, I must be one of Trumps’ Trumpeteers.In short, Mr. Stephens calls me theequivalent of a bastard.I amunqualified to be a citizen of this Liberal ‘Democracy’ of his.Obama’s vaunted inclusiveness excludes halfthe population of the United States.
The Plot Against America
But Mr.Stephens is calling us all ‘anti-Semites.’This alone means that the polls favoring Hillary Clinton must be fraudsor they wouldn’t be wheeling out the heavy artillery of dreaded‘anti-Semitism.’So the election is expected to turn on howwell we love our Jews who have done so much to selflessly make our lives mo’bettah.
Mr. Stephensapparently believes with Mad Hillary that we are in fact Deplorables.Mr. Stephens has titled his piece after thetitle of Philip Roth’s novel of the same name.The Plot Against America.See howneatly he turned around responsibility.His group isn’t plotting.Who arethe plotters?Why, the American peoplewho can’t be trusted to see straight and do the right thing.Whatever happened to the infallible CommonMan?
A&e Plot Against America
Mr. Stephenslays out the horror he and his side daily live with:
(Mr. Roth)imagines what might have been for America if Lindbergh had defeated FranklinRoosevelt for the presidency in 1940, signed neutrality acts with Germany andJapan and initiated a reeducation campaign for recalcitrant American Jews.The novel draws its power from being atoo-plausible alternative reality, from which we were spared less by the wisdomof the public than the vagaries of history.

Ah, you see,we the stupid public couldn’t be trusted but blind luck saved us.
I havestudied this period and rather than finding Mr. Roth’s fantasies all tooplausible alternate history only one of many equally or more plausiblescenarios.
The betenoir of the Jews, Charles Lindbergh, was not a bad person, he was not acrypto-Nazi, and he was not an anti-Semite.When he said that Roosevelt, the British and the Jews were inveiglingthe country into a war that was of no concern to the US he but spoke thetruth.Would matters have been any worsein a cold war with Germany and Hitler than a cold war with Stalin and theSoviet Union?Not that I can see.
And whatwere the Jews themselves doing at this critical time?The Jews had been at open war with Germanysince the Communist Revolution in Russia.The Jews declared actual war on Germany in 1933 with the activecollaboration of the Roosevelt Administration.It has been conclusively proven that the English, Jews and FDR worked toget the US into the war as early as 1938 and from my researches from 1933on.Even the then dean of Americanhistorians, Charles Beard wrote a tome demonstrating it was so which cost himhis reputation, career and place in American letters.Character assassination with avengeance.
What thenelse did the Jews do?A stooge namedTheodore Kaufmann, a neighbor of Roth in Newark, composed a short book titledGermany Must Die.That is the Jews wereplotting the genocide of the Germans before the Germans conceived the so-calledholocaust.In his book he calculatedthat if all the German males were castrated Germany would die out in ageneration.The book wasenthusiastically received in the US, abhorred in Germany, sold fantasticallyespecially after a glowing review in Time Magazine and several influentialnewspapers.The notion lodged in FDR’sbrain.Late in the war he was heardmuttering that castration might be the final solution.
WhileKaufmann gloated and FDR agonized, the whole of the American right wasimprisoned (that is put in concentration camps) while awaiting their fate inkangaroo courts.
While Roth’sfantasy is less than probable there are many many other scenarios that could bewritten.I thought that since 9/11 wewere beyond all that but here we have Mr. Stephens and the Wall Street Journalpulling these old chestnuts out of the fire to use again.Trite, trite canards.
To quote Mr.Welch, made famous by McCarthy:At longlast, Gentlemen, have you no self-respect?
