The Hexenhammer Debate
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.
