Melanie Philips? Oh, Boy!

…by Jonas E. Alexis

While I was doing some research back in 2010, I happened to stumbled upon Melanie Phillips’ book The World Turned Upside Down, which was hailed by Jewish Neocon Norman Podhoretz as “A brilliant tour de force, beautifully written and powerfully argued.”^[1]

Phillips is a British Jew who has been spreading the gospel of Zionism/Neoconservativism/Neo-Bolshevism on the British island since 2003.[2] She has written articles in the Daily Mail, the Jerusalem Post, the Sunday Telegraph, the New Statesman, the Wall Street Journal, etc.

You can say that Phillips is a thought police whose intellectual perversity does not allow her to make a coherent and rational point with respect to the Middle East. For example, she incoherently ties Reverend Stephen Sizer, a good man, to radical and terrorist groups.

Why? Well, Sizer is among many in the Protestant camp who exposes Christian Zionism.[3] He pulls no punches:

But in order to mislead her readers, Phillips, of course, has to come up with a lie. “Sizer is a virulent opponent of Christian Zionism and of Israel,” she writes, “which he has said he hopes will disappear just as did the apartheid regime in South Africa.”[4] Does Phillips seriously believe that Sizer hopes that Israel will disappear? She is really confused here.

Back in 2010, I contacted Phillips to say that I was reading The World Turned Upside Down with great interest. She responded with gratitude.

Then I moved on to tell her that I was working on a book which sought to expose the Neoconservative movement as politically dangerous and morally repugnant. I even told her that I’d be pleased to send her some preliminary chapters for an assessment. I said that the Neoconservative movement and Trotskyism are inextricably linked. In fact, Neoconservative Francis Fukuyama of Johns Hopkins (formerly of Stanford) tells us unequivocally that the Neoconservative movement and Leninism are two sides of the same coin. Fukuyama wrote,

“The neoconservative position articulated by people like Kristol and Kagan was, by contrast, Leninist; they believed that history can be pushed along with the right application of power and will. Leninism was a tragedy in its Bolshevik version, and it has returned as farce when practiced by the United States.”^[5]

Fukuyama even moved on to say that virtually all the leading Neocons were trained at the City College of New York, which was at the time a Trotskyite cell. Jewish Neocon Bill Kristol, who is a political commentator at Fox News, is a product of Trotskyism. Fukuyma, after he witnessed the disaster in Iraq and elsewhere, lamented, “Neoconservatism, as both a political symbol and a body of thought, has evolved into something I can no longer support.”^[6]

Fukuyama is still Neocon. Last year, he was implicitly promoting the Neocon “democracy” and perpetuating that Vladimir Putin is a dangerous man.

Be that as it may, I told Phillips that one cannot really separate the Neoconservative movement from its ideological and subversive make-up, which is none other Leninism. That was the end of our conversation. She never responded.

I did not blame her. In fact, her own writing seems to suggest that she would indeed agree with my assessment. It was Phillips who wrote some years ago:

“For the neocon view of the world is a demonstrably Jewish view…. Neocons believe in taking the world as it is, but encouraging the good and discouraging the bad…[It was] the necon belief that good can prevail over evil…that lay behind the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq.”[7]

In other words, through wars, this “demonstrably Jewish view” will bring about what Jewish Neocon David Horowitz himself has called “tikkun olam, a repair of the world.” Horowitz unapologetically writes:

“For nearly two hundred years, Jews have played a disproportionate role as leaders fo the modern revolutionary movements in Europe and the West…By carrying the revolution to its conclusion, socialists would usher in a millennium and fulfill the messianic prophecies of the pre-Enlightenment religions that modern ideas had discredited. Through this revolution, the lost unity of mankind would be restored, social harmony would be reestablished, paradise regained. It would be a tikkun olam, a repair of the world.”[8]

If tikkun olam is a good thing, what have we got in Iraq and Afghanistan? Heaven on earth? Or a six-trillion dollar war,[9] with thousands upon thousands of misery both at home and abroad?[10] How about the extinction of Christianity in places like Iraq due to the dumb war?[11]

In The World Turned Upside Down, Phillips, like her political brother Bill Kristol, posits several lies about the Iraq war that have been refuted over and over.[12] But since she and her brethren have waged a frontal attack on the political order, she cannot write five pages with respect to Iraq without a bold lie. Now, listen to this woman and see if she can make any rational sense whatsoever:

Phillips has been so bamboozled by her own Talmudic ideology that she cannot see anything else. She has boldly and pretentiously said that Iranian leaders are unreasonable. Yet the simple fact is that Iranian leaders have been reaching out to the West since the beginning of time.[13]

In fact, Iran has signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, but Israel has not. Iran didn’t brag that 9/11 was a good thing, but Benjamin Netanyahu did.[14] Iran hasn’t called Israelis “animals” or “donkeys,” but Israeli leaders and rabbis have used those names to describe the Goyim.[15] Iran hasn’t called for the destruction of an entire nation (though Israel has tried propound that lie for years), but Gilad Sharon, son of Ariel Sharon, did exactly that in 2012.[16]

Phillips, who seems to get her daily bread from Netanyahu, is worried that Iran could build nuclear weapons, but she is not too worried about Israel’s hundreds of nuclear weapons.[17] She is worried that Iranian leaders are irrational, but she is not too concerned about Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld saying that Israel has “the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.”[18] She is worried that Iranian leaders could bring the apocalypse in the Middle East, but she doesn’t say a word about how Israel has already brought the apocalypse in places like Gaza.[19]

Phillips keeps getting nightmare because she says Iran is a terrorist state, but she seems to sleep very well when Israelis commit some of the bloodiest terrorist acts in history.[20] She is worried that Iran might kill Israelis, but she is completely silent about Jewish historians such as Benny Morris bragging about how the Israelis literally obliterated the Palestinians. I wonder what she would say to the following quote from Morris:

“A Jewish state would not have come into being without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians. Therefore it was necessary to uproot them. There was no choice but to expel that population. It was necessary to cleanse the hinterland and cleanse the border areas and cleanse the main roads. It was necessary to cleanse the villages from which our convoys and our settlements were fired on.”[21]

Morris indirectly sets a trap for Phillips here. It is like saying, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?” If Phillips says that the statement is justifiable, then we can say that Phillips is a terrorist apologist in disguise.

If she says no, then we would have to ask her why she hasn’t mentioned that in any of her writing. Morris for example is not an obscure historian. He has expounded on his thesis in books such as Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-2001. Phillips keeps talking about “moral integrity” in her book Londonistan.[22] I wonder if killing innocent people is part of that “moral integrity.”

In 2006, a British party parliament group, led by Denis MacShane and backed by a number of prominent Jews and British neocons such as Melanie Phillips and Emanuele Ottolenghi, released a report entitled the Report of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism, in which it is stated that “it is the Jewish community itself that is best qualified to determine what does and does not constitute anti-Semitism.”

These could include “conversations, discussions, or pronouncements made in public or private, which cross the line of acceptability” as well as “the widespread change in mood and tone when Jews are discussed, whether in print or broadcast, at universities, or in public or social settings.”

How far can this go? How stupid can we be? Why is the report so discriminatory? Why not grant this stupid definition to other ethnic groups? Can anyone see the complete absurdity of this diabolical system, not to mention the danger?

If the report is right, then Zionist whores and pimps such as Pamella Geller, Robert Spencer and David Horowitz need to zip their lips and get a decent job somewhere else because they are not allowed to criticize the Muslim community. They need to leave decent Americans and Muslims who want to live in peace alone. Phillips ends her book Londonistan with the following statement:

“The West is under threat from an enemy that has shrewdly observed the decadence and disarray in Europe, where Western civilization first began…Britain is not what it once was. Whether it will finally pull itself together and stop sleepwalking into cultural oblivion is a question on which the future of the West may now depend.”[23]

I would say that the West is under threat from an enemy that has meticulously and methodically manipulated Western politicians and thinkers from time immemorial. This enemy has theologically been named “the enemy of the whole human race” and has created wars out of thin air.

The same enemy has forced those wars upon us all in order to reduce the Goyim into what Civilta Cattolic calls “metaphysical nothingness.” This diabolical enemy sought

“to eliminate everything that was historical and national in the institutions of the different states, by reducing all of them, some more and some less, except Russia, to such a form of government which was to insure that the bulk of power rested in the hands of the oligarchies, directly or indirectly depending upon him, as for instance, the modern parliaments, which pretend, through a continuous legal fiction, to govern in the name of national sovereignty but in fact impose on us the few who quite legally tyrannize all the others.”[24]

This is why a serious politician like Putin is basically saying that enough is enough. Good job, Vlad. Keep up the good work.
