Michael Collins Piper's The New Jerusalem
by Victor Thorn    

Some words burn with the fury of boric acid through steel. This statement certainly applies to a quote Michael Collins Piper uses near the end of The New Jerusalem which originates from former president Harry S. Truman's unpublished diary: “The Jews have no sense of proportion, nor do they have any judgment on world affairs. The Jews, I find, are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs, or Greeks are murdered or mistreated as [post-war] Displaced Persons as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power – physical, financial or political – neither Hitler nor Stalin had anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog.”

These words carry as much power and poignancy as anything ever written in the annals of history; but as Piper points out, Truman wasn’t the only president to feel such resentment toward the Jews. Of course we’re all familiar with Richard Nixon’s views (he once called financier Robert Vesco a “cheap kike” and determined that “the IRS is full of Jews”). But how many people were aware of Jimmy Carter’s re-election hopes in 1980: “If I get back in, I’m going to fuck the Jews.” Likewise, George Bush Senior’s Secretary of State, James Baker, had this to say (long before the neo-cons rose to power): “Fuck the Jews. They don’t vote for us anyway.”

Harry S. Truman’s assertions on Jews and world affairs rings even truer today, for Piper opens The New Jerusalem by showing how the two most pivotal events of our still-young 21st century – 9-11 and the Iraqi War – are both unequivocally based upon U.S. policy in the Middle East.

In regard to 9-11, if you’re naïve enough to still believe the government’s “official” version of events – that 19 Arab cave-dwellers planned, orchestrated, and executed the September 11 terror attacks – you can’t deny that it would have been caused by America’s molly-coddling relationship with the terrorist nation of Israel. But as we know, 9-11 was actually an inside job perpetrated by a small cabal within (and outside) our government. And why would they perpetrate such a psychopathically bloodthirsty mass murder? Answer: because it served as a pretext for our war in the Middle East where the United States is nothing more than a proxy doing Israel’s dirty work. So, in this sense, Piper’s claim is absolutely correct.

In a similar vein, Piper refers to a book by Benjamin Ginsberg entitled The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State. As the title implies, Jews have always had a historic ‘embrace’ of the State because, in pure Machiavellian terms, that’s been the means to arrive at their ultimate goal – power. This embrace, though, oftentimes proves fatal, for regardless of where the Jews have resided – since biblical times - they have been enslaved, driven out, or killed en masse. Everywhere!

Again, you may wonder why. Surprisingly, the answer is simple. Throughout the ages, Jews have manipulated the ‘system’ to gain great wealth and power. And although Jews today only constitute 2% of America’s population, they unite with other like-minded individuals to create an array of very potent organizations and lobbies that ultimately seek not only political power, but also social influence as well (i.e. Hollywood, TV, etc).

This arrogance is conveyed quite vividly by Mr. Ginsberg. “Jews often, secretly or not so secretly, conceive themselves to be morally and intellectually superior to their neighbors.” Thus, the Jews inevitably begin to abuse their power, and are eventually exposed and dealt with in the methods described above. Does this same fate await the neo-cons of today, along with the multi-tentacled Zionist lobby, the corrupt media kingpins, Ariel Sharon’s genocidal regime, and those who are building an Apartheid Wall from the West Bank's northern-most point to Jerusalem? If the past is any indicator, history will not treat these "enemies of the people" kindly.

One of the unfortunate results of this arrogant pursuit of power is clear – war. And as Michael Collins Piper explains, three-quarters of America’s foreign aid expenditures is geared toward (either directly or indirectly) Israel’s safety. Thus, not only do we surrender $10 billion to Israel every year, but our annual outlays to Egypt are primarily administered for one reason – so that they won’t attack Israel. Isn’t it clear what a vicious cycle has been created by our subservience to Israel, and what a vulnerable position it puts us in as a nation?

Worse, our current debacle in Iraq isn’t the first war engineered by Jewish elitists. Anyone who cares to objectively study history will discover the same hidden hands behind the Civil War (where Rothschild interests financed both the North and the South), as well as the Bolshevik Revolution, World War I, World War II, and the first Desert Storm Iraqi War.

To his credit, Piper illustrates how this pattern exists today with our Orwellian ‘war on terror.’ But as many people mistakenly perceive, President George W. Bush is not the one calling the shots. Rather, the New World Order controllers have yet again dispatched a host of agents to do their bidding (in the same vein as Colonel Edward Mandel, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Samuel P. Huntington). This time the provocateur is Natan Sharansky, who has joined forces with other neo-cons mentioned in Piper’s previous work, The High Priests of War (Wolfowitz, Richard 'the Prince of Darkness' Perle, William Kristol, etc).

Piper writes, “The Bush agenda (rather the agenda of Bush’s Zionist handlers) is no more than a modernized brand of old-style Bolshevism inspired by the late Leon Trotsky.”

And although the detrimental effects of such an infiltration are obvious (especially in regard to foreign policy), criticism of Israel brings swift and vengeful retaliation in certain circles. In fact, one of the most riveting elements of Piper’s book is his concise analysis of the Zionist community at large, who charge that any criticism of Israel makes one not only anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, but also anti-American and anti-Christian, because (at least in their eyes) Israel’s goals and America’s goals should be one-in-the-same. Such a philosophy, though, is nothing new, for it extends back many generations to a time when families such as the Rosenwalds, Friedsams, Blumenthals, Schiffs, Warburgs, Lehmans, Baruchs, Bronfmans, and Guggenheims rose to prominence. These individuals, along with the representatives and organizations they spawned, eventually became what Ferdinand Lundberg called ‘the de facto government which “is actually the government of the United States – informal, invisible, shadowy” (America’s Sixty Families).

Strangely, the above subjects are rarely discussed on Sunday morning talk shows or in the opinion pages of major daily newspapers. It seems as if we can intellectually debate virtually any subject in this country – abortion, gun control, taxation, outsourcing to China, the oil policies of Hugo Chavez, Russia’s views on the West, or AIDS in Africa; but anyone who criticizes (or even discusses) how the Jewish lobby’s treasure chest influences U.S. lawmakers is instantly labeled an anti-Semite.

Needless to say, Piper’s The New Jerusalem is an invaluable resource for any person who wants to clearly see how this country (and the world-at-large) is being manipulated by a hidden (and not-so-hidden) Zionist power. Plus, in addition to the topics already mentioned, the author also delves into the Zionist connections to Enron, the Inslaw Affair and PROMIS software, the Bronfman crime family’s relationship to John McCain, media control (especially at the late Katherine Graham’s Washington Post), how corporate journalists were compromised via Operation Mockingbird, the possibility of there being another “Deep Throat,” Donald Trump, and a who’s who of the Jewish elite. Historically, Piper also touches upon the Holocaust Industry and how it is exploited by those who constantly seek the role of victim, Jewish control of the trans-Atlantic slave trade from Africa, the murder of author/researcher Danny Casolaro by a sub-unit of the Department of Justice’s OSI (Office of Special Investigations), and a continuation of Final Judgment’s analysis of Meyer Lansky’s underworld Mafia ties and his role in key 20th century events.

Once you read this book, I guarantee you’ll never see the world around you in the same light again.
