At 4:30 pm on
March 30, 2002, Israeli military forces took over Palestinian TV
stations when they occupied Ramallah in the West Bank. Shortly after
occupying the Al-Watan TV station, the Israeli forces began
broadcasting pornography over its transmitter. The Palestinians were
outraged and bewildered. “Why in the world,” one woman wondered,
“should one do such a thing?” The answer is simple. The Israelis
broadcast pornography because pornography is a weapon in the arsenal of
psychological warfare.
We are told that “Sexual freedom goes hand in hand with freedom of
speech” and that “The issue of
pornographic images is intrinsically linked to the issue of freedom of
speech,”[1] but in reality pornography is a form of control.
Pornography has nothing to do with freedom. Pornography is a weapon
because, as St. Thomas Aquinas pointed out, lust “darkens the mind.”
Lust makes you blind. A blind opponent is easily defeated. Pornography
is the weaponization of Lust.
The best symbol of the military use of lust is Samson and Delilah.
After Samson’s reason lost control of his passions, he ended up
“eyeless in Gaza, grinding at the mill with slaves.” The Israelis
unleashed the same weapon at the same place 3,000 years later because
they wanted to make the Palestinians “eyeless in Gaza” as well. The
Israelis wanted to enslave the Palestinians. They did not want to
liberate them.
St. Augustine brought the biblical story of Samson up to date in his
day shortly after the fall of the Roman Empire when he wrote, “It is
clear that sin is the primary cause of servitude.” That means, he
continued in another passage from the same book, that “a good man,
though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave.
For he serves, not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters
as he has vices.”[2]
Man was free as long as he was moral, which is to say as long as he
acted according to the dictates of practical reason. Man is not free to
be irrational. Man can use his freedom to give into passion, but at
that point he becomes a slave. Pornography was a part of Roman culture
as the mosaics in whorehouses at Pompei made clear. After the fall of
Rome, pornography disappeared because Christian Europe based its
culture on Augustine’s principle that a man had as many masters as he
had vices.
Roughly 1,300 years later, the world got turned upside down. The word
for that sort of political change is revolution. Pornography re-entered
western culture as a weapon in the 18th century. I’m referring to the
illustrated versions of the Marquis de Sade’s pornographic opus
Justine, which appeared at the Palais Royale before the French
Revolution and were instrumental in bringing about that revolution as
well. In case you forgot, the Marquis de Sade started the French
Revolution from his cell in the Bastille. The Marquis de Sade wrote
that “The state of the moral man is one of tranquility and peace, the
state of an immoral man is one of perpetual unrest.” That sounds like
something St. Augustine could have written. St. Augustine would say, if
you want to be free be moral. But, turning the idea upside down, the
Marquis de Sade was telling the tyrants who emerged during the course
of the French Revolution that if you want to enslave a population,
promote vice.
The Marquis de Sade is simply Augustine turned upside down. He
understood that in order to create a revolution you have to subvert the
morals of the people first. To bring this about the Marquis de Sade
proposed exhibiting women naked in the theaters. This created a problem
because in a big theater it’s difficult to see the girls, but in a
small theater where the girls are visible, the crowd is small.
Technology solved that problem. Pornography is always a function of
technology. What followed was 200 years of more and more refined
methods of control based on more and more advance technology. One major
technological breakthrough was the motion picture, an invention which
created cultural civil war between America’s three main ethnic
groups—Protestants, Catholics, and Jews—during the 1920s. Hollywood was
a Jewish creation, and within a decade of its founding the Jews, like
the Israelis who invaded Ramallah, were using the motion picture
industry as a weapon against the people of the United States of
America, who were outraged at their promotion of obscenity and demanded
that the government take action. When the Protestants under Will Hays
failed to rein in Jewish obscenity, the Catholics instituted a boycott
which threatened to bankrupt Hollywood, and the Jews backed down and
instituted the Production Code in 1934.
Pornography got weaponized again in Germany. In the period following
Germany’s defeat in 1919, Jews like Magnus Hirschfeld brought Hitler to
power by his flagrant attempts to promote homosexuality through his
Institute for Sexual Science.
In 1947 the United States scrapped the Jewish Morgenthau plan to starve
the conquered German people to death and put Marshall plan in its
place, to restore Germany as a Bulwark against Soviet communism. That
meant pumping money into the economy and to ensure that the Germans had
something to buy the Allies imported 150 tons of obscene material into
Germany.[3] Pornography was weaponized once again, this time to destroy
the moral fiber of the German people, which was the Jewish way to
ensure that there was no resurgence of National Socialism. The Catholic
Church mounted a campaign against “Schmutz und Schund,” but it was no
match for that country’s illustrated magazines, all of which had to get
a license from a Jewish psychiatrist by the name of David Mardachi Levy.
For 31 years, the Catholics protected the American people against the
weaponization of human sexuality, but in 1965, in the wake of the
Second Vatican Council, the Catholics lost their nerve and the Jews
broke the code with their Holocaust porn film The Pawnbroker. Within
seven years, hard core pornography—Deep Throat, The Devil and Miss
Jones, and Behind the Green Door—was being shown in first-run movie
houses. In 2004, Professor Nathan Abrams wrote:
Jewish
involvement in porn…is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian
authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by
moral subversion…Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian
culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American
mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its
subversive character becomes more charged.[4]
Which is one more way of saying that pornography is a weapon
which Jews wielded to destroy the Christian culture of the countries
which allowed them the rights they granted to their citizens.
In 1978 Jimmy Carter appointed Paul Volcker as head of the Federal
Reserve System as a way of placating the creditor class, which felt
that inflation had gotten out of control. Volcker’s “cure” for
inflation was raising interest rates to unheard of levels. By 1980
T-bills were paying 20 percent interest. In order to lend money at
these rates, banks had to persuade legislators to abolish state usury
laws. The result was the collapse of America’s manufacturing base, low
wages, and the rise of vulture capitalism. The sexual liberation of the
‘70s along with the de-criminalization of usury distracted workers from
the fact that their wages had stagnated. As the compound interest which
drives usurious loans kicked in and more and more money got
concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer people, the children of
the baby boomers who cheered the sexual liberation of the ‘70s woke up
to find themselves enslaved to unrepayable student loan debt and
addicted to pornography.
As Andrew Joyce pointed out in the Unz review, “Vulture capitalism is
Jewish capitalism.”[5] Vulture capitalists like Paul Singer now control
the Republican Party. The rise in vulture capitalism was closely
paralleled by the rise of pornography. Both phenomena were Jewish. The
enormous amount of money which ended up in the hands of Jewish usurers
was used to fund think tanks, non-profit corporations, and NGOs which
then promoted sodomy and pornography as a way of distracting men who
should have been forming families from their economic misery.
The best example of this confluence of Jewish money and ideas is the
Cato Institute, which was founded in 1977 by Charles Koch and Murray
Rothbard and received its funding from the Koch brothers foundations
and the Bradley Foundation, which ended up under the control of
neoconservative godfather Irving Kristol through his proxy Michael
Joyce. Capitalism is state-sponsored usury. After Paul Volker, who died
on December 8, allowed the creditors whose interests he served to
strike down every usury law in this country, the Cato Institute used
the money which accrued from the usurious take-over of the economy to
undermine the moral basis of the social order, taking political power
out of the hands of the people and placing it in hands of the oligarchs.
When pornographer John Stagliano, also a member of the Cato Institute,
was charged with producing obscene material in 2010, the Cato
Foundation rushed to his defense. A series of articles in Reason
Magazine, also funded by the Koch brothers,[6] portrayed Stagliano as a
martyr to the cause of free speech, trotting out libertarian
“principles” to defend him. In an article defending Ira Isaacs, who had
produced videos “of a female engaging in sex acts involving human
bodily waste and a video . . .of a female engaged in sex acts with
animals,” Reason referred to pornography as “America’s liberty.”[7]
Like the vulture capitalism which is its main source of funding,
Libertarianism is a Jewish ideology confected by people like Ayn Rand,
Milton Friedman, and Murray Rothbard, who was also a member of the Cato
Institute, to defend oligarchic interests. Jewish Libertarians believe
in free speech, but only when it serves their interests. A good case in
point is Alan Dershowitz, who used the free speech ploy to defend Deep
Throat in 1972, when Jews had not yet completed their take-over of
American culture, but then abandoned it and promoted hate speech
legislation after that take-over was complete. In a breathtaking
expression of Jewish hypocrisy, the same Dershowitz who defended
pornography as free speech in 1972 stood next to Donald Trump in
December 2019 when he signed an executive order using Title VI to ban
criticism of Israel and “anti-Semitism” on college campuses.
Over the course of the 1980s, Americans witnessed the simultaneous
de-criminalization of usury and pornography. Usury and pornography go
hand in hand. The ultimate result of the moral deregulation which took
place beginning in the 1970s was massive student loan debt and massive
addiction to pornography, which the Cato Institute justified to
distract newly enslaved college graduates from the fact that they will
never pay off their debts.
In 1986, the Meese Commission made significant inroads in trying to
stop pornography, but government could not keep up with the combination
of technological innovation and libertarian ideology which used free
speech to justify pornography. In 1989, the Jew Reuben Sturman ended up
going to jail after setting up a series of pornographic film houses,
but the film loop he pioneered became obsolete with the invention of
the VCR, and VHS tapes became obsolete with the opening up of the
Internet. At that point Hollywood produced two pro-porn propaganda
films—Boogie Nights and The People vs. Larry Flynt—and the government
under the direction of Bill Clinton, a man who had difficulty
controlling his passions, passed the misnamed Communications Decency
Act, which effectively ended government efforts to prosecute obscenity.
Contrary to the freedom which Larry Flynt and the libertarians
promised, the result of the de facto decriminalization of pornography
was, as St. Augustine could have predicted, an exponential increase in
addiction, which is the modern term for slavery to sin. Predictably,
the media outlets under oligarchic control said that addiction to
pornography was a myth. Reporting on “Fascinating, rigorous new
research,” Psychology Today announced that there is no scientific
evidence to support the claim that “sex addiction is real.”[8] That
claim flies in the face of the fact that a Google search of the terms
“porn” and “addiction” yields 67,000,000 results.
In November 2019, the young men who were the main victims of this
campaign of covert psychological warfare announced a boycott of
pornography and the masturbation which was its invariable companion in
something they called No-Nut-November. The reaction of the oligarchs
who created sexual revolution to distract this cohort from the fact
that they were hopelessly enslaved to their own passions and student
loan debt was swift in coming when Rolling Stone magazine denounced
anyone who objected to pornography as anti-Semitic. As its authority on
the matter, Rolling Stone cited David Ley, PhD, author of The Myth of
Sexual Addiction and “a clinical psychologist and sex therapist who
studies pornography and mental health.” Ley dismissed No Nut November
as “a creepy little smorgasbord of insecurity-driven hate with
anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia all rolled up in one.”[9] Ley
goes on to say that “anti-masturbation ideology has historically been
used as a tool by fascist figures to gain social control,”[10] when
what he really meant to say is that Wilhelm Reich saw masturbation as a
way of fighting “fascism,” which was his term for the authoritarian
personality, which was synonymous with Catholicism and intact families.
If the libertarians are interested in promoting freedom, why are they
promoting pornography? Everyone now knows that pornography leads to
addiction, but now we also know that nobody pays for it, eliminating
the economic incentive which got used to justify it as a business. Ten
years ago, people like John Stagliano could get rich from producing
pornography. Now porn is free, and no one is making money by producing
it.[11] According to one pornographer, “Getting people to pay for porn
is a very difficult thing to do,” he says. “We’re literally fighting
and clawing for every dollar. Ten years ago, it didn’t matter. If one
customer left, there’d be another to take his place. But every customer
matters now.”[12]
So porn isn’t really about money after all. It’s about control. The
libertarians who loudly proclaim their support of freedom are really
interested in promoting addiction because addiction is a form of
control which is congenial to the Jewish oligarchs who fund think tanks
like the Cato Institute. The moral is clear: anyone who defends
pornography is either what Lenin called a “useful idiot” or what I call
a Kochsucker, which is to say, a “conservative” agent of the oligarchs,
like Charlie Kirk, whose mission is to control and destroy the very
people he claims to liberate. Logos is rising. We now know that sexual
liberation is a form of control. Consciousness is not reversible. We
now have empirical proof that St. Augustine was right when he pointed
out that a man has as many masters as he has vices.
