A Review by Fredrick Toben
Preliminary Remarks
Comparison of individuals is a purely subjective matter and often misplaced, yet we all do it to some extent – comparing former friends with new friends, new loves with old loves, the latest holiday spots with the ultra-latest hide-away, cars, etc. Reviewing books is a matter of comparison, of judgment where a reviewer’s subjective likes and dislikes are not hidden but form the framework and context wherein someone else’s expressed thoughts are evaluated. An ideal book review is one where criticism is balanced.
During my teaching days it was common for students bitterly to complain that, for example, a set text was ‘boring’. Such students would not even make the effort, through self-reflection, to lift their sights away from their own dull minds to participate – to empathize – with another mind’s creations. I reminded few dull minds that it takes many solitary hours to think about, to research, then to write a book, not to say anything about the actual production process of book-making.
Michael Collins Piper has not written many books but the ones he has written have continued to be best sellers in the alternate scene, amongst Revisionists who refuse to believe in any of the orthodox conspiracy theories that are fed into the public domain via government agencies and the controlled main-stream media. His 1994 tome on the Kennedy assassination Final Judgment: The missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy has been translated into Arabic and Japanese, and to this day has not been superseded in argument by any other book written on this topic.
I first met Michael Collins Piper in the late 1990s when I called in at Willis Carto’s then Spotlight – now American Free Press – and The Barnes Review enterprise. I compared him with Andrew Gray whose claim to fame partially rested on his translating Richard Wagner’s autobiography Mein Leben – My Life from German into English. I called Michael a mini-Andrew because they both were bubbly and self-contained, perhaps a kind of smugness that individuals develop when they have stopped competing with others, when they are reasonably satisfied with their personal achievements. Lesser perceptively developed persons miss-read this attitude as a kind of arrogance, and do not feel comfortable with such individuals because they feel threatened by their accompanying fearless open mind that will not shy away from discussing anything at all, naturally in a civilized way. There is no taboo topic from which such mature minds shy away from.
No-one could ever surpass Andrew’s love of Richard Wagner. Still, all three, Richard Wagner, Andrew Gray and Michael Collins Piper have one common denominator – they fearlessly focus on things Jewish when the need arises, as they would fearlessly focus on other matters. They do not shy away from critically offering their opinion on things Jewish – and that is good because it is a healthy sign for a society where things Jewish can be openly expressed. I know individuals who mystify their references to Jews by calling them ‘Turks’, ‘parasites’, and a host of invectives that reflect more on the person’s mental make-up than on the intended scapegoat – the Jew.
Perceptive Jews know it is better not to seek legal protection from such attacks because this then forces Jews to develop a victim mentality that has psychological consequences. Such individuals are either in, expecting, or just coming out of a ‘Holocaust’. It is the neurotic, perpetual victimhood mentality where an individual never grows up and remains infantile in behaviour.
Perceptive Jews are aware of this process because what causes them grief and fear is the hidden criticism against them. They appreciate receiving an openly expressed “what, when, where, how, why and who of a matter.
Among other topics, it has been my aim over these past decades to also reach that point of mature open discussion – as befitting an open civilized society that western democracies reputably are – with things concerning Adolf Hitler and the ‘Holocaust’.
At the end to the Bibliography in The New Jerusalem, Michael spells out his policy:
FOR THE RECORD: After the release of this author’s first book, Final Judgment, a critic made the claim that many of my sources and references were “out of context” or otherwise incorrectly rendered. This was not true. Another critic said that “most” of my key material came from one source. AGAIN, this was not true. However, the fact that critics will not hesitate to lie and defame an author because they do not like what he documents is an ugly reality that this author has discovered on his own. This is why I always encourage people to “show me my errors” and to “show me where I’m wrong.” It seems – to me at least – that when you find yourself writing anything even vaguely critical of the State of Israel or its adherents, then that automatically makes anything you write absolutely wrong. Or so my critics claim, very loudly and repeatedly and most hysterically. Well, I leave it up to the honest reader to refer to my cited sources and check them against my footnotes and, as I say, if I’ve taken anything out of context or rendered something incorrectly, then let me know. But don’t call me a liar.
THE BOOKS
1. The High Priests of War
1.1 Form - Presentation The immediate impression is that this book literally is crammed, stifled almost, from cover to cover with information. Although it counts 128 pages, I get an extra unnumbered 20 pages, counting the covers. The length is ideal because the book can be read in one or two day’s sitting.
Some formatting would have improved this clutter. For example, the ‘Dedication’ page should not have contained anything on its reverse.
A ‘Contents’ page would have offered an oversight of what the book offers. Willis Carto’s ‘Foreword’ and Michael’s own ‘Preface’ and ‘Executive Summary’ just appear at the beginning of the book. At the end of the book appears ‘A Final Word’, the ‘Endnotes’, the excellent ‘Photo Section’, the adequate ‘Index’ and ‘A Letter From The Author’. The actual text has no chapters but contains 56 bold-printed headings. I have a faint suspicion that Collins Piper’s book may be following the Final Judgment format, which is now in its 6th edition, each one incorporating the latest information as closed archives are opened to yield their secrets to hungry historians. In time these 56 sections will then be developed into structured chapters – I hope.
1.2 Content -The Text
Although written two years ago, this book is as relevant as it was then, perhaps even more so as the US administration attempts to extricate itself from a disastrous Iraqi invasion, and as it currently fends off Iran’s move to dis-invest from Europe and re-invest in Asia. It is assumed that the latter is going to cause the USA financial markets some grief. Any country that disconnects from the US dollar, as Iraq wished to do before the US March 2003 invasion, will need to be disciplined by the values driving the US – freedom and democracy – a euphemistic way of saying military domination and economic exploitation, the actual antithesis of freedom and democracy.
The other main economic factor is that Iran is a political and financial power in the Middle East, and the fact that Iran will be moving out of the US dollar and into the Euro, that itself will hurt the USA. So it is imaginable that the USA will do everything it can to prevent Iran from opening its Oil Exchange service on 20 March 2006, as the US objected to Iraq moving into the Euro. When the US attacked Iraq the only Baghdad building that noticeably remained undamaged was that housing the Oil Ministry – so that existing oil contracts could be ripped up and re-written under US supervision.
The foregoing suggests that the attack on Iraq was driven by an economic imperative – oil. That may be so if we believe what some sectors of the world media are saying, but certainly no-one of sound mind believes the official Washington version for invading Iraq: looking for Saddam Hussein’s WMDs and spreading ‘freedom and democracy’ to the Middle East. The absurd claim is also made by none less than the strongest ‘coalition of the willing’ ally, Australia’s Prime Minister Mr John Howard, that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
Before this book was written only a small group of individuals had full knowledge of the conspiracy hatched by the Neo-Cons that controlled the Bush presidency’s political agenda. Saturated with Jewish individuals, such as Paul Wolfowitz (who now heads the World Bank), Richard Perle, William Kristol, et al, Collins Piper easily traces the Jewish factor that is driving American politics:
– externally by using US global dominance to secure Israel’s dominance of the Middle East, as opposed to Iran’s pre-eminence in this region developing naturally;
– internally to get the US Supreme Court to adopt Talmudic legal principles. All this is done under a globalist agenda driven by individuals who were once imbued with Trotskyite ideology
This mental framework needs to be opposed, and Collins Piper says it is time for the American people to ‘to declare war on “The High Priests of War”.’ The Americans have been deceived for too long, says Collins Piper. The Cold War dichotomy was a fraud and it has been replaced by the fraudulent ‘terrorism war on Muslim extremists’.
March 17, 2003, the eve of Purim sees Jews celebrate their victory over their hated enemy, Haman, and on this day George Bush announced to the world that the US and its ‘coalition of the willing’ would attack Iraq without UN approval. In effect, as the former Malaysian Prime Minister, Mohammed Mahatir stated, Israel fights its war by proxy – the USA does such things for Israel.
What made all this easier to execute was, of course, the 9/11 tragedy, that insider-job attack by Americans on Americans. Thanks to the still free flow of information on the Internet, anyone critical of US policy could retrieve information about the US-Israel connection, something that Charles Krauthammer, in a Time article on 17 February 2003, openly bragged about a month before the US invaded Iraq. Also, the ‘Axis of Evil’ – Iraq, Iran, North Korea – focused US aggression somewhat on to the long-range projection that the Neo-Cons had propagated.
The unilateral attack on Iraq was not popular with critical Americans but the media drowned any effective airing of a counter view, but not so in the free flow of information on the Internet. Collins Piper shows how ‘The Billionaire Gang of Four’ – Rothschild, Bronfman, Oppenheimer and Murdoch – are the most to benefit from a continuation of a Middle East war, and these financiers and media giants in turn secure the existence of the State of Israel.
One example how Collins Piper supports his contention is illustrated by the following:
“It is no coincidence that the Defense Policy Board (DPB) would be the point of origin of a plan to make “heads roll” inside the military. Although ostensibly ‘independent’, the DPB was dominated at the time (and ostensibly remains so) by Richard Perle who – although he never served in the U.S. military – made a fortune in armaments profiteering on behalf of Israel’s military-industrial complex and has spent years promoting U.S. military engagements to defend the interests of Israel.”
He then goes on to quote from a Post article of 28 July 2002 that highlights the existing division between Bush pushing for was with Iraq and senior military personnel refusing to give up their current position of containment, a position also shared with senior staffers in the State Department and in the CIA. Of course senior staffers in the White House and in the Pentagon would wear down that resistance. And who were these men? Perle, Wolfowitz and Feith, among others – all Jews.
Here my usual retort is apt: Don’t blame the Jews, blame those that bend to their pressure!
Collins Piper’s use of contemporary media reports indicates the information about government is out there if citizens make use of their still remaining freedom of speech as enshrined in the First Amendment. Unfortunately, the fabricated 9/11 incidents enabled the Patriot Act to be adopted by a pliable Congress, as also happened in Australia when the Terrorism legislation was adopted by a pliable parliament. Such legislation is designed not to catch elusive terrorists but rather legally to stifle public criticism of government policies that favour the state of Israel.
2. The New Jerusalem
2.1 Form What I said about Form, above, also applies to this book. Although it has 184 pages, this time with no extra unnumbered pages, and a Contents page, the traditional Chapter division is missing. The ‘Preface’ and ‘Dedication’ are not listed in the Contents page. Perhaps this method of not numbering the chapters and not giving each one a separate packaged identity, and instead having them flow into one another, is an indication that here we are involved in a process of truth-seeking. Although not named or counted as chapters, there are twelve main headings that present the detailed argument about the new Jewish US elite.
2.2 Content I am reminded by what the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad, stated in December 2005 that so upset the leaders of the so-called Western democracies, that Israel should be dis-banded and the Jews be re-located to Europe. Paris and Berlin already contain a sizeable Jewish population, and most European nations have their ‘Holocaust’ legislation that extends special legal protection to their Jews.
Since 1979 Iranian politicians have claimed the State of Israel is a European colonial entity within the Middle East. Not only that, it is also a racist entity and thus has no place in the Middle East because the Middle East belongs to non-racist Islam!
According to Michael Collins Piper Jews don’t need Israel because they are already well nestled in their ‘milk and honey’ country, the USA. In fact, the US is controlled by the Jews, and it is their New Jerusalem.
If that is the case, then surely the reason for the existence of the State of Israel falls away, and there must be another reason why the US supports its existence.
Defending Israel’s existence is a strong dialectic trick using a number of ‘anti-‘words. As Collins Piper so succinctly puts it: “The Zionists now openly charge that critics of Israel are not only anti-Semitic and anti-Israel but also anti-Christian and anti-American, that anti-Israel sentiments are actually the underlying foundation of anti-Americanism and, in turn, anti-Americanism is inextricably indivisible from anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian sentiments. …The idea that the rest of the planet (with the exception of Israel) is somehow ‘anti-American’ is a destructive and dangerous myth the Zionists have propagated in order to turn Americans against anyone around the globe who dares to question Zionist power in America”.
Using overt Jewish sources Collins Piper lists the names and organisations controlled by Jews. He details how the media, business and courts/justice system is Jewish controlled. I am reminded how in 2005 the latter was clearly proven by two specific incidents when a corrupt legal process enabled the deportation from the US to Germany of Revisionists Ernst Zündel and Germar Rudolf. Both men made up the powerhouse of REVISIONISM, and they certainly are not criminals, perhaps thought criminals because they refuse to believe in the ‘Holocaust’. But such category does not belong in a country that prides itself on maintaining the First Amendment which protects our free speech. Collins Piper’s notable disclaimer is significant:
“ Right up front, let it be noted that we are not here to say that Jewish people in American do not deserve the massive and unprecedented wealth and the consequential power that they have accumulated (and which ahs been documented in this volume). The fact of considerable Jewish wealth and power is not the issue. What is at issue is how the Jewish community has exercised its wealth and power – in league with a hard core group of fundamentalist Christian allies – particularly in the area of influencing U.S. policy toward Israel and the Arab world. The truth is that two of the great tragedies of our new century – the 9-11 terrorist outrage resulting in the deaths of 3,000 Americans and the unnecessary and disastrous American invasion of Iraq that has resulted in countless lives being lost and ten times that many being butchered and maimed – are both a direct consequence of U.S. policy in the Middle East, a policy that has been dictated by the “Jewish lobby” in Washington and actively encouraged by the American media monopoly that is, for all intents and purposes, largely owned by a handful of families and financial interests who are Jewish supporters of Israel.”
That all this Jewish activity is not benefiting the ordinary American citizen is evident to anyone who has recently traveled through the USA. One disturbing fact is how the infrastructure is visibly crumbling in the USA, and we saw this illustrated so well when Katrina devastated the US coastline in New Orleans and elsewhere. The world saw the first world USA being reduced to a third world country, something that will continue to have a shocking effect on all those who once saw the USA as a land where milk and honey flowed so generously. The US prison system also speaks of the decline in US generosity. A democracy that has over two million prisoners, and that is building more prisons, has lost the right to call itself a democracy.
Conclusion
Michael Collins Piper’s two books offer the discerning reader an unprejudiced factual view of the Jewish influence in domestic US politics as well as in global politics. It is fitting that such books have been written for the sake of highlighting those pressing problems that concerned citizens will inevitably wrestle with as they develop their own mature world view.
The constant use of the ‘anti-‘words to stifle open debate has had disastrous effects on the mental development of citizens who should know better. The so-called dumbing down of citizens is a fact that follows specifically-programmed processes pumped into society via the controlled Jewish media. Thanks to the Internet – our weapon of mass instruction – and thanks to Michael Collins Piper’s work, this process has been de-mystified.
