Several weeks ago the actor Marlon Brando was interviewed on a television talk show, and he got a little careless. He blurted out something which everyone in the media and in show business knows, but which no one is supposed to say. Marlon Brando said that Jews own and run Hollywood, and that they run it for their own benefit: they run it to suit themselves and no one else. The films they make portray other ethnic groups unfavorably, but the Jews portray themselves only in the most favorable light.
Marlon Brando tells Larry King during his CNN interview,
April 5, 1996. "I am very angry with some of the Jews...
They know perfectly well what their responsibilities are...
Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned by Jews..."
Well, sir, what else is new? Next someone will be announcing that the earth goes around the sun!
You know, that's a funny thing: the Jews and their allies reacted to Brando's statement about the way the Christian church reacted 400 years ago to Galileo's statement about the relationship between the earth and the sun. They screamed for Brando's blood. And at the same time they tried to obscure the issue and distract people's attention away from the central point: namely, the Jewish control of the media.
They called Brando an "anti-Semite." They began wailing about the so-called "Holocaust." They stepped up their demands for laws against what they like to call "hate speech."
The same sort of thing happened about a year ago, when a British journalist, a reporter for the London Daily Telegraph, wrote an article about Hollywood pointing out that all of the top executives in the motion picture industry are Jews. The Jewish establishment greeted this revelation in exactly the same way, denying what was obviously true and at the same time trying to make people feel guilty for realizing that it was true. They yelled "anti-Semitism" and trotted out their favorite gas-chamber stories. Weren't six million enough? they moaned. So much hate! They acted as if the simple statement of truth about their control of Hollywood were an act of persecution, and that anyone who didn't immediately blot it from his mind were an "anti-Semite."
Now, this sort of behavior -- this pretense of shocked and wounded innocence -- has worked wonderfully for the Jews for the past 50 years. They've been able to intimidate most people into keeping their mouths shut most of the time. They have made the average American so afraid of being labeled a "racist" or an "anti-Semite" that they have been able to enforce their own code of Political Correctness: a code under which one may say nothing about a Jew except an expression of praise or sympathy.
It's a fascinating situation. They've been able to enforce this code, under which no one may say that they control the media, only because they do control the media: it is their control of the media which gives them the power to enforce their code of Political Correctness on the public. And they certainly have most of the public buffaloed.
Or do they? They raised such a fuss about Marlon Brando's comments earlier this month that an Internet poll was taken to find out what the public reaction to the fuss was. One of the major Internet access providers, Prodigy, took the poll, and the results were encouraging. The Prodigy poll found that despite all of the Jewish screaming about Brando's comments being "anti-Semitic," half of those polled didn't think what Brando had said was anti-Semitic at all, but was a simple statement of fact. Jews do give themselves especially favorable treatment in Hollywood films, they said.
Yes, it is encouraging to learn that despite all the media brainwashing 50% of the public hasn't been fooled. That raises my estimate of the public's intelligence and power of perception.
Now, if that 50% would be willing to stand up and say in public what they will say in an anonymous poll, my estimate of the public's character and courage also would be raised -- and so would my hopes for the future of our people.
You know, it is important to be intelligent and perceptive. It is important not to be fooled by our enemies; it is important to be able to see through their lies and deception. But it is more important -- much more important -- to have courage and to be honorable in one's behavior. It is important to have valor. That's something which is sadly lacking in America today, I'm afraid. Despite what Mr. Brando said, I'm not inclined to give him credit for muchvalor; I'm inclined to believe that he had a few martinis in him when he gave that interview, because the next day he was groveling and apologizing.
What's really unfortunate is that we don't have a valorous ruling class in America to provide leadership and to set standards for others. Without such a class the country cannot long survive.
We do have a ruling class of sorts, of course; there is always a ruling class of some type. But the men who rule America today are certainly not men of valor. They are lawyers, bureaucrats, rich businessmen, scribes and Pharisees.
They are men without ideology, men whose only fixed principle is always to do what is advantageous for themselves. And, in a sense, they are the "best" of their type: that is, they have worked harder, been smarter and meaner, and hewed more closely to the party line -- to the established body of cant -- than those who didn't make it to the top. The "fittest" in any society survive and prosper.
But valor, unfortunately, does not seem to have survival value in 20th-century American society -- at least, not the kind of valorwhich we remember fondly from bygone centuries. What would an old-fashioned Yankee or a Southern gentleman do in today's America? How would he react upon encountering a Black male swaggering down the sidewalk with a White woman on his arm? Suppose he came face to face on the street with one of the filthy creatures who has made a career in politics, the media, or the pulpit by helping to bring about the state of affairs in which White women dare to be seen in public on the arms of Blacks. How long could a valorous man stay out of prison?
The best men today know that they are living in enemy-occupied territory, and upon such a sidewalk encounter they only grit their teeth and pass in silent rage, while the worst display an ingratiating smile.
