Judy Andrea - Judyism : Through the Eyes of Essayist Judy Andreas

A Review by Fredrick Toben

 

In these 33 mini essays, varying in length from 2 to 9 pages, New York-based Judy Andreas passionately but delicately presents the reader with her reflective perspective on any of the many vital issues that the Internet community of commentators – concerned citizens – is worrying about. John Kaminski’s Foreword succinctly celebrates Judy Andreas’ empathetic understanding by accentuating her quest for truth, something that ideologues of the traditional left have shied away from for over half a century. Judy cannot just uncritically accept any ‘official version of events’, even if it comes from the current president of the USA.

 

For example, Judy’s critical faculties do not permit her to accept the official version of the 911 Muslim conspiracy as propounded by various US government agencies and by the Jewish-controlled media. Her commentary on 911 – highlighting the false-flag terrorism generated by the current US government – included an observation that the WTC was ‘PULLED’, the significant statement made after the event by the new owner of the WTC site, Larry Silverstein, after Building 7 was demolished through controlled demolition. Sadly, she does not comment on the fact that a jury awarded Silverstein two insurance compensation claims for his loss because officially there were two planes that brought down the WTC buildings.

 

Though Judy details her skepticism about the origins of the Christmas custom as such the deeper issue of Jewish influence over the elimination of Christmas as a festive celebration in the USA – and being replaced by the Jewish Hanukah – does not feature in this particular mini essay. This is most likely due to the August publication date of her book, and so the December Christmas tree controversy outside the White House could not be mentioned. In her commentary on Christmas Judy contrasts ‘runaway materialism, avarice and gluttony with the spirit of generosity’. There is, indeed, no need to go to Walmart to participate in crass materialism. However, prior to the 2005 Christmas celebrations taking off in the USA, Walmart eliminated the actual ‘Christmas’ word, replacing it with ‘festive season’. Christian protests succeeded in having ‘Christmas’ re-instated.

 

An interesting essay, ‘ Judaism and Zionism: Comparing Apples to Rocks’, touches on what seems to be the core concern of Judy Andreas – identity. In eight pages Judy takes us through her mental maturation process – from being born of Jewish parents, dabbling in ‘hip’ atheism to psychology and metaphysics, then into Christianity, and for a while becoming and enjoying being a ‘witch’ on account of its ‘nature-loving teaching with magical content’. She emerged therefrom realizing that any ‘-ism’ for her is ‘illusion’. Of interest is how Judy had her eyes opened on the Israel-Palestine issue through Willis Carto’s paper The Spotlight. Reading books by Ralph Schoenman, Norman Finkelstein and Lenni Brenner opened her mind to the ‘Zionist-Nazi collaboration’ and to the deeper roots of the Palestinian tragedy. She does not mention the fact that all three authors believe in the ‘Holocaust’, i.e. that Germans exterminated European Jewry in homicidal gas chambers. Retaining this belief enable them, and also possibly enables her, to retain the ‘Nazis’ – speak Germans – as scapegoats for whatever cause. Judy concludes her brief overview of her development by stating that Judaism cannot be clearly defined. Also, she has found that all her friends have distanced themselves from ‘Organized Religion’ because she finds organized religion ‘repugnant’ on account of its divisiveness. “And the ‘God loves me more than He loves you’ mindset is infantile at best, and homicidal at worst”.

 

And so Judy continues to reflect on matters that concern us all. She adopts a philosophical stance that finds resonance with many persons who have partaken of similar intellectual adventures during which they are confronted by their own image as reflected in a mirror of life – and where the four vital questions are asked: What can I believe - Religion? What can I know - Science? What can I do - Ethics/Morality? What is man? - Anthropology.

 

As a child Judy had to overcome the usual discussion stoppers that were common amongst the post-WWII families in most western countries. In polite society it was then not the done thing to discuss politics, religion and sex!  Today the world is awash with such topics, and Judy will, of course, not limit her enquiries in any way but will discuss anything at all in a civilized way.

 

Interestingly, today, where the Internet has become our weapon of mass instruction, anything is up for discussion, for review, for REVISION – literally anything, except for the ‘Holocaust’ and ‘racist’ views. I have not asked Judy that vital question: Do you believe in the ‘Holocaust’?

 

As noted Revisionists such as Arthur Butz, Robert Faurisson, Germar Rudolf, Jürgen Graf, Carlo Mattogno, et al, would conclude, the ‘Holocaust’ is the lie that is enslaving and distorting our perception and understanding of human history and of human endeavour. Horst Mahler goes a step further and states that for example Germans, if they wish to understand and save themselves from physical and cultural genocide, must lock horns with Judaism – Alljudas – and dialectically overcome-destroy-kill Yahweh. Prophetically Mahler claims that this can be done through German philosophical idealism where the individual partakes of the Godly spirit by thinking and wrestling with the creative impulse to the point where at the end a synthesis of the self with the Godly impulse is attained. I would suspect that Judy Andreas would welcome this personal journey with some reservations because it contains an ‘-ism’, while Horst Mahler would advise that only in such a way can an individual attain personal freedom-maturity.

 

This leads one to ask the two vital questions: freedom from what and freedom for what? Judy, I think, would share this quest for freedom, and the present volume amply illustrates that she tops it up with that most fundamental process of searching for TRUTH.
