Elegy For A State
By Eustace Mullins
As I pointed out in my most recent
work, The Curse of Canaan, "The tentacles of the Masonic Canaanite
octopus are nowhere more deeply embedded than in the State of Virginia." This depressing fact
was emphasized when the present Governor of Virginia, Gerald Baliles, organized
the Virginia-Israel Commission to promote closer relations between the State of
Virginia and the bandit
State of Israel. Baliles threw the
resources of Virginia's
omnivorous tax collectors behind his pet project, one which may have been
closer to his heart because of his own background. Although he has coyly
refrained from revealing his origins, it is notable that he is the only state
governor in Who's Who who has left blank the names of his father and
mother. Who's Who biographies generally lead off with the full
name of the father and the maiden name of the mother. It is possible, of
course, that Baliles did not include them because he didn't know who they
were. In that case, it would not be an omission.
Baliles was the political heir of
ex-Governor Charles Robb, son-in-law of Lyndon Johnson, who has been courting
the American Israel Political Action Committee for financial and political
support for his current race for the Senate. Although this grovelling
before the most dangerous elements in the nation is hardly unique among our
craven politicos, it is more flagrant in Virginia
because of the invasion of the leading Rothschild operators in the United States, who have come to Virginia seeking instant
squiredom on their vast estates. Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss, partner of
Herbert Hoover and of Kuhn, Loeb Co., the American representatives of the
Rothschilds, bought an historic estate at Brandywine, Virginia during the
1930's, from which he ran the notorious Byrd machine for many years, a
totalitarian control of Virginia politics which had begun at the turn of the
century, when the Rothschild railroad operator, William Glasglow, became the
driving force in state politics. Strauss was followed by another Kuhn,
Loeb partner, Freddie Warburg, who ignored local politics in favor of throwing
great parties at his Middleburg Va. estate. The present Virginia mogul is Edgar Bronfman, another Rothschild stooge who heads Seagram
liquor. Bronfman bought a vast estate near Charlottesville,
a few miles from Thomas Jefferson's historic Monticello. Bronfman seems less
interested in becoming a Virginia gentleman
than in making Virginia
even more Jewish. As president of the World Jewish Congress, he has been
the principal financier of the worldwide hate campaign against the president of
Austria, Kurt Waldheim, and
the entire population of Austria
(which is presently an American ally). Bronfman is also chairman of the
notorious terrorist organization, the Anti
Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (the Jewish Masonic organization), the
American Jewish Congress, the United Jewish Appeal, the Federation of Jewish
Philanthropies, B'nai B'rith, and the National Urban League. He is also a
primary member of the notorious U.S./U.S.S.R. Trading and Economic
Committee, which is desperately trying to salvage the faltering Soviet economy
with U.S.
taxpayers' dollars. In doing so, it has shrouded its operations in
mystery, so that its machinations have become officially protected from public
view by the U.S.
government, which announces that USTEC, as it is often known, is now Top
Secret.
Another prominent Virginia
baron and political supporter of Baliles is a refugee from Chemnitz, Germany,
the communications mogul, John Kluge. Listed by Forbes magazine as the
second richest man in America,
with a personal fortune of $2.5 billion, Kluge bought a 5,000 acre estate in
the millionaires section of Albemarle
County, which he named,
properly enough, Albemarle Farms. After emigrating to the United States, Kluge became the partner of
Finkelstein, in Baltimore,
in a food brokerage business. The firm of Kluge, Finkelstein is still the
cornerstone of his fortune. After noticing the amount of money which
Kluge, Finkelstein was spending on radio advertising, Kluge bought the
station. This launched him on a career as a radio and television
mogul. He now owns Metromedia, of which he is chairman. He is also
a member of the advisory commission of the Rothschild bank, Manufacturers
Hanover, in New York, a partner of Armand
Hammer in Occidental Petroleum, a director of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, and head of
the Shubert theatre empire. His executive vice president at Metromedia,
Stuart Sobotnick, is a director of Orion Pictures. Director of Metromedia
is Jane Pickens Hoving. A former radio star, Jane Pickens, married
department store tycoon Walter Hoving, who was thirty years her senior. A
Swedish immigrant, he had married into the Marshall Field department store fortune,
later becoming chairman of Tiffany's and president of Bonwit Teller, the two
most prestigious stores in Manhattan.
Jane Hoving received awards from the Federation of Jewish Philanthropy for her
zeal in raising money for Israel,
and later she was given the Albert Einstein award.
Kluge has lately been much in the news,
because his British-born wife, Patricia, decided to become an "instant
lady" by installing a British type driven pheasant shoot on their lavish Virginia estate.
In this type of shoot, the peasants drive the pheasants out into the guns of
the waiting aristocrats, hoping that the sportsmen will be able to distinguish
the pheasants from the peasants. Patricia imported a British baronet as
her shoot master, or gamekeeper. She confided to a friend that "Baronets make wonderful house guests,
but it's better to have them as employees. Then, if they take the silver,
you can ask them to put it back."
The imported gamekeeper then
inaugurated a reign of terror in the peaceful Virginia countryside, trying to protect the
expensive game birds by shooting the neighbors' dogs, and killing the amazing
number of four hundred hawks, an endangered and protected species. The
keepers amused themselves by tormenting the wounded hawks with sharp sticks before
burying them alive. After months of complaints, officials reluctantly
brought charges against the keepers, emphasizing by a personal appearance of
the U.S. Attorney for Virginia, John Alderman, that their investigation did not
involve Mr. Kluge. It is expected that the criminals will pay a small
fine, but Kluge now faces a torrent of lawsuits from neighbors whose dogs were
trapped and killed. Such is life among the nested billionaires of Virginia.
As the political creature of these
powerful Zionist financiers in Virginia,
Governor Baliles discovered that the creation of the Virginia-Israel Commission
was the ideal way to ensure his political future after he leaves the Governor's
mansion in Richmond.
On May 16, 1988, he addressed the powerful American Israel Political Action
Committee in Washington,
a move which the state's largest newspaper, The Richmond Times Dispatch,
described as "ingratiating himself with the powerful Jewish
lobby". Baliles is also the
upcoming chairman of the National Governors' Association, where he intends to
use his influence to promote an Israel Commission in each of the other states.
Because of his work with the
Virginia-Israel Commission, Baliles was definitely promised a future run for
the presidency by AIPAC. The Richmond Times Dispatch noted May 24,
1988 that "Gov. Gerald Baliles is readying for a role on the national
political stage."
Baliles' Zionist backers rammed an
initial grant of $200,000 for the Virginia-Israel Commission through the state
legislature, a seemingly illegal use of state funds for personal political
propaganda and aggrandizement. Baliles attempted to justify this use of
state taxpayers funds by matching it with $200,000 provided by Bronfman and
other Jewish propagandists in Virginia.
Governor Baliles made his most
impressive move to ensure his political career in April of 1988, when he led a
strange hegira of some 150 Virginians to Israel on a "goodwill
mission". The trip was apparently inspired by the desire to convince
the Palestinians, an oppressed captive people under Israeli military
occupation, that the American people approved of Israeli brutality towards
them, and that they could expect no help or sympathy from America.
This was a powerful propaganda coup for the Israeli government.
The Baliles mission was demanded by the
government of Israel because
some five months of passive Palestine
resistance had been met with the utmost brutality by heavily armed Israeli
troops. Hundreds of Palestinian women and children had been murdered by
the Israelis in their attempts to stifle all patriotic protest. Women
hanging up their washing were shot down by Israelis in their own
backyards; small children were beaten and their bodies hastily covered by
bulldozers. Not since the horrors attributed to the Nazis had the world
been stunned by the revelations of such brutality. In the case of the
Nazis, only verbal testimony was available to back up stories of
atrocities. In the case of Israel, American
television viewers nightly saw armed soldiers beating unarmed children,
purposely breaking their arms and wrists, crimes of which even the Nazis
had never been accused. Incredibly, Governor Baliles travelled to Israel to offer the terrorist government the
official endorsement of the people of Virginia
in their terror campaign against unarmed civilian critics, the captive
Palestinians.
As a theocratic state and dictatorship,
Israel
does not recognize the religious rights of any one but the Jewish people.
Americans were outraged to see Israeli soldiers
invading Arab mosques, dragging out the worshippers and beating them in the
street. This activity is heavily subsidized by American taxpayers,
who pay each Israeli soldier an amazing $12,000 a year to carry out these
atrocities. Because the First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits
Congress from enacting any law which abridges the establishment of religion,
the Internal Revenue Service annually violates the Constitution of the United States when it collects from Americans
money authorized by an Act of Congress to finance the theocratic state of Israel and its oppression of religious
minorities in the Middle East. Although
no American had previously protested against this violation of the
Constitution, many citizens were now moved to write to Congress demanding to
know why our tax money was financing these terrorist acts. However, any
protest against the atrocities committed against Arab civilians is immediately
met by a furious barrage of counter propaganda in the United States raising the specter
of "anti-Semitism".
Abie Foxman, the national director of
the Anti-Defamation League (of which the aforementioned Edgar Bronfman is
national chairman) ran a scare story in the Washington Post, June 4,
1988, warning against "growing anti-Semitic incidents in the United States."
One would suppose this would be the recital of attacks against Jews;
instead, Abie Foxman cited the distribution of
pro-Palestinian literature in the United States -- specifically -- "Stop
the Genocide in Palestine", as "an anti-Semitic incident".
This was a strange distortion of ethnic reality, because the Palestinians, by
all accounts, are themselves of Semitic origin. In strange contrast, the vast majority of the present Israelis, as I point out in
The Curse of Canaan, are not even Semitic. They are a
Turco-Edomite people from the steppes of central Russia, who are known historically
as "Khazars".
The 150 chosen Virginians who
accompanied Governor Gerald Baliles to Israel on his propaganda rescue
mission were largely drawn from the membership of the Masonic lodges.
They included newspaper publishers, businessmen, and a horde of ambitious
politicians. They published newspaper accounts that "Israel's
hospitality was unsurpassed, as we were wined and dined throughout our
visit". They participated in the heavily publicized tree-plantings,
a ritual for American politicians ever since 1948, and reported that they had
not seen any evidence of brutality during their entire stay. Baliles
abruptly dismissed any suggestion that there was a propaganda aspect to his
trip. "I'm not interested in discussing political
ramifications," he told reporters. He then
signed an official pact with Israeli Economic Minister Gad Yaacobi. Just
how a state governor is empowered to conclude formal agreements with other
nations was not made clear.
On April 28, 1988, the Richmond
Times Dispatch reported under the dateline "With the Saar Regiment in
the Golan Heights, Israel - Gov. Gerald Baliles and more than 140 Virginians
became ersatz soldiers yesterday ... they got a demonstration from a tank crew
that launched shells and sprayed bullets." These are the same
Israeli soldiers who daily commit atrocities against Arab civilians. On
his return, Baliles brushed aside feeble protests from a few Arabs residing in Virginia. Their
votes would never get him into the White House.
One of the conditions to which Governor
Baliles agreed during his sojourn in Israel
was a commitment to the Israeli government that he would fly the Israeli flag
over the State Capitol each year on the anniversary of Israel's
conquest of the Arabs and the establishment of the State of Israel. He
also agreed to use his position as chairman of the National Governors
Association to persuade the other governors to follow suit. One suspects
that he will have little difficulty in persuading them of the political
advantages of such treachery against their own state constituents.
As Attorney General of Virginia,
Baliles had endeared himself to his co-racialists by expending hundreds of
thousands of dollars of state funds and years of effort in persecuting a Virginia realtor whose
offense was that he had included a small sign of the cross in his
advertisements. Although this was not a violation of any known Virginia law, Baliles
considered it a direct racial insult that the realtor would let his customers
know that he was a Christian realtor. The case dragged on for years,
until Baliles was elected Governor. He was quoted in the Richmond Times Dispatch, April 24, 1988,
that "He sees a lot of similarities between people of Israel and Virginia."
This is undoubtedly true, as the only Virginians with whom he comes into
contact are his Zionist allies.
Baliles shrugged off a suggestion from
disgruntled Arabs living in Virginia
that he should now make a similar state visit to an Arab country, claiming that
Arabs have no "freedom of speech". Freedom of speech, of
course, is a relative term, as a study of the Virginia press shows no anti-Israel
criticism or pro-Arab views. Arabs may be free to establish their own
newspaper in Virginia, but one suspects they would find it difficult to fill it
with advertisements from such Jewish department stores as Thalhimer's, the
state's largest such enterprise. Hard on the five months "days of
rage" protest by the captive Palestinians in the Israeli occupied
territory, the Richmond Times Dispatch carried a lengthy defense of the
Israeli atrocities by a Richmond
rabbi, Dr. Myron Berman, of Temple Beth-El. In this two page article,
Berman maintained the usual nonsense that "Because Israel, like the United States,
is a democracy, it fosters many differences of opinion based upon a foundation
of an indestructible bond of national loyalty."
This is an ingenious whitewash of the
torture and murder of Palestinian children, who have failed to show
"national loyalty". In fact, these child victims are loyal, but
to their native homeland. As Sameeh Al-Quassem, the Palestinian poet,
expresses the grief, rage, and determination of this captive people,
You may put out
the light in my eyes.
You may deprive me of my mother's kisses.
You may curse my father, my people.
You may distort my history,
You may deprive my children of a smile
And of life's necessities.
You may fool my friends with a borrowed face.
You may build walls of hatred around me.
You may glue my eyes to humiliations,
O enemy of the sun, But
I shall not compromise
And to the last pulse in my veins I shall resist,
O enemy of the sun
The decorations are raised at the port.
We have forgotten that the Arabs, our
traditional friends, are a nation of poets and warriors. History will
decide whether this people will vanish beneath the yoke of international
bandits and their Babylonian monetary system of debt capitalism. We
believe that they will not. The greatest shame which Baliles has visited
upon the noble history of the State of Virginia
is his sullying of our proud history with the stain of the blood of the
murdered Palestinian children. As the great scholar Chang Ch'Ao put it,
"A little injustice in the heart can be drowned by wine; but a great
injustice in the world can be drowned only by the sword."
The people of Virginia, who have suffered under the enemy
occupation of the Federal troops, the scalawags, and the carpetbaggers, have
the greatest sympathy for the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Baliles, who has no contact with the people of Virginia, having been put in office by his
Zionist allies, has no conception of the depth of this feeling.
