Jews Control Media & Banking Part II

Ok, so now I come to the part of this discussion that will really separate the "men from the boys." If I actually had readership, it would likely separate them from this blog permanently.

Recall, dear non-readers, that if we agreed that Jews are vastly overrepresented on the world stage, we would set out to suggest why.

The scientist among my non readers will want some quantitative discussion of genetic superiority but that wouldn't explain the phenomenon. It would merely reveal a mechanism allowing their overrepresentation. We would still be left asking why are the Jews genetically better adapted to always come up on "the top of the heap."

Allow me then (as if you have a choice, beloved non reader) to suggest some possibilities.

When God makes a promise, is it possible that he does everything in his power to make good on that promise? Assuming you believe in God and assuming you believe he has the power and will to follow through on his plans, we must then find out what promises this God made to the ancestors of those we now call Jews. I offer you the following:

GOD’S FIRST PROMISE TO ABRAHAM – GEN 22
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.

ONE OF GOD’S PROMISES TO MOSES – EX 19
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.

'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

'I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.

A PROMISE TO BE REPEATED TO ISRAELITE CHLDREN – DEUT 6
The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.

I could go on for a long time with a litany of promises that God has made to no other people. The point is that the Jews are clearly overrepresented in all arenas of human activity and there is no good explanation for it unless you are willing to believe that the Creator of the universe made many promises and his word is good.

If I were the only person to whom this had occurred I wold still be assured of its correctness but you would not. So consider some people that the world has judged smart guys who felt there was something uncanny about the Jewish presence in the world.

The bottom line is that the reason the Jews are so disproportionately represented in the world is because they have "a friend in high places." So what is the right response to this "favorite son" status by us non-Jews?

I guess I will takle this next. If you don't think I am crazy yet then hold on to your hats!

Oy Vey!

Oh my God what a long hiatus from posting. I have learned something profound from this blogging experience. A visit from your in laws can seriously disrupt the ebb and flow in my life.

This is no slight to my in laws nor a commentary on how anyone else conducts their lives but simply an observation about what a precious commodity routine is in my life.

I will also say that a few ridiculous encounters with intransigent gatekeepers on beliefnet.com also took the starch out of me for a while.

Anyway, with most of the emotional hangover from these encounters flushed out of my system, perhaps I am prepared to begin again to take to task the world in its inexorable effort to flush itself down the toilet.

Onward!

Jews Control Media & Banking Part I

Yesterdays post posits that if the Vanity Fair 100's preponderance of Jews is representative, then why are Jews so disproportionately represented in our society and does this imply anything for the relationship between Jews and "the Nations"?

So today we need to evaluate item #1 - is the Vanity Fair list skewed or are Jews represented disproportionately throughout the top echelons of society?

One of my favorite party tricks is to ask people what percentage of the worlds population is Jewish. I give people a fighting chance by reminding them what the total population of the earth is supposed to be and then asking them to give me a ballpark percentage. Once we dispense with defining Jewish ( the basic understanding being those who answer yes to a census question) I get some very interesting answers.

My nephew, who is highly educated and went to one of the top New England boarding schools, answered 25%. I was sure to put this into perspective by reminding him that he was saying that there were 1.5 billion Jews in the world. He stood by his answer.

When I told him that the right answer was a little more than two tenths of one percent he all but called me a liar. Fortunately, before the conversation turned violent, I opened up a handy World Almanac and showed him that the current world population of Jewish people is approximately 13 million.

Amazingly, his response was not unique. A lot of very intelligent people vastly overestimate the worlds Jewish population. When asked why, they usually respond with an answer similar to my nephews. He said that when attending prestigious institutions of learning, a large proportion of his friends where Jewish.

He was absolutely correct in his assessment - by some counts approximately 25% of Ivy League schools enrollment is Jewish. The number would probably be higher, but most of these schools tend to restrict Jewish enrollment.

Likewise, the number of Jewish people receiving Nobel Prizes is disproportionately high - almost 20%. This is almost 100 times the percent of Jews in the world.

While more statistics would be interesting I think you get the point. Jews are definitely overachieving relative to their numbers in many arenas of world influence. So tomorrow, on to question #2.

Why?
