Studying the history of a particular nation can be a fascinating examination of how that nation has changed over a period of time. And, some traits that are often considered as a critical element of that nation frequently arose due to certain events. Catholicism in Ireland is a great example. Up until the Republic of Ireland passed homosexual marriage and later abortion by popular referendum, finally making the media take notice of the rapid cultural changes that had been taking place since the early 1990s, Ireland was often thought of as a nation noted for its intense devotion to Catholicism. This was for good reason, within living memory, this was a nation that could boast a 90% weekly Mass attendance and where divorce was not only illegal, but it was also unconstitutional (as was abortion). But, this Irish devotion to Catholicism was not always present; at one time, Ireland was considered only nominally Catholic and many of its revolutionaries, such as Wolfe Tone, were actually Protestant. It was the Great Famine that transformed Ireland into a Catholic bastion.
Poland is another example of this phenomenon. Today, Poland is labeled as an antisemitic country. The Left loves to insinuate some blame on the Poles for the Holocaust because certain Jewish-critical attitudes can be expressed openly in Poland. But this was not always the case. In fact, during Poland’s Golden Age, the reign of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Poland was thought of as a nation that was particularly tolerant of the Jews, so much so that Poland during this time was known as Paradisus Judaeorum – “The Paradise of the Jews.” So, what happened? The Polish nobility got themself deep in debt and, as a result, was weakened to the point where they could no longer defend themselves against their neighbors, leading to the “Partitions of Poland” between 1772 and 1795. I’m sure we can all figure out how they got in debt. The Poles have never forgotten this history and Polish attitudes toward the Jews have changed dramatically since the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
The Polish example is important in how it relates to Dixie. One common critique of Dixie, frequently in the Far Right, and particularly among White Nationalist circles, is the philosemitic views of most Southerners, especially those not involved in Dissident Right politics. And, this is a charge not without merit.
Though it is common to blame this Southern characteristic on Evangelicals, this view is, in my mind, overly simplistic, as Southerners have long been noted for having pro-Jewish attitudes, even before the rise of Evangelicalism. In the antebellum period, Jews were far more welcome in Southern society than anywhere else in the West. The center of Jewish life in “1776 America” was Charleston, South Carolina. Dixie could boast Jews in high government positions. Even the Leo Frank case, traditionally held up as the ultimate example of Southern antisemitism, is, upon closer examination, not antisemitic at all. Of all the papers in Atlanta at that time, it was only Tom Watson’s paper, The Jeffersonian, that made note of Frank’s Jewishness, and that was only half-way through the case. For the most part, the newspapers of Atlanta considered the Frank case as a triumph of the New South, a case in which a White man could be convicted of the murder of a White girl on the testimony of a black man.
At the very least, Southern Christians have seen a distinction between “our” Southern Jews and “their” Northern Jews, and there have been cases of Jews faithfully serving Dixie and her people, and we should not take the Jewish Question to mean every last Jew is an unethical person. And this distinction, between Southern Jews and Yankee Jews, actually does exist within the Yankee Jewish mind. There are many stories of Northern Jews coming to Dixie to visit their cousins and being horrified by their attitudes and politics. There is a reason Philip Roth cast his antagonist, a rabbi who supports Charles Lindbergh, as a native of Charleston, South Carolina in The Plot Against America. When the Yankees came to Selma, Alabama in the 1960s, the Jews involved in the Civil Rights Movement were both shocked and horrified to find out that the Jews in Selma were, for the most part, standing with the White population, and that the native blacks of Selma considered them (Selma’s Jews) as White. When a boycott of all the White owned businesses in Selma was ordered, blacks boycotted the Jewish-owned businesses as well. Philosemitism is a trait that has long proceeded not only the rise of Christian Zionism within Evangelicalism, but even the rise of Evangelicals in Dixie.
Still, in the year 2022, this trend is mostly driven by Evangelicals, by far the largest religious body in Dixie and very pro-Jewish. Some even take it to the point where they will deny the uniqueness of Christian salvation to give the Jews a second, alternative path to salvation (note: this is heresy). But, at the very least, the modern-nation state of Israel is vigorously supported in the South, to such a degree that it has become a point of doctrine, even though nothing in either Scripture or tradition would lead us to declare that Christians must support a modern nation-state younger than my grandmother (especially, when that nation-state is involved in grossly anti-Christian activities).
However, I see signs of this changing. Just as Polish attitudes toward the Jews changed after the Partitions, so are Southern Evangelicals changing their views on the Jews and Israel. That is why the media is doing so much handwringing over the supposed rise of antisemitic views in the Evangelical church. Part of it is just normal posturing, but not all of it is. Support for key portions of the Christian Zionist worldview is in rapid decline. I’ve observed three reasons for this shift.
The first reason for this shift is that there is no collective will to fight a war in the Middle East. Dixie, especially her rural and small-town areas where Evangelicals dominate the most, were asked to bear the brunt of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and gained nothing from it. Instead, they had to watch their brave sons (and daughters) come home with severe injuries, both physically and mentally, only to find there was nothing left for them except low-paying jobs at Walmart. They came home in great pain, which eventually lead to an opioid addiction. To make matters even worse, they’ve come home only to be lectured by people on television, people who will make more money in a year than they will in a lifetime, about how privileged they are for being White. They spent their life savings on college to have their own kids turn against them, their families, and their faith. Needless to say, middle Dixie has no more desire to fight another war in the Middle East and that severely weakens sympathy for Israel. They are no longer “brothers” locked in one struggle against radical Islam (as they were commonly seen after 9/11). There is a reason why every push the elites have made to start a war with Iran has been met with mockery, forcing them to backdown. Middle Dixie knows it got gypped in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan and that has depleted any affinity for Israel.
The second reason is Trump. Perhaps the single most common objection to Trump from the Dissident Right is his attitudes concerning Jews. Trump was incredibly pro-Israel while in office, more so than any other American president, and he even married his daughter off to a Jew, a Jew who subsequently undid a lot of his nationalistic policies. However, members of the Dissident Right that are eager to declare Trump a total failure for his pro-Israel positions are guilty of not looking at the big picture. By working so hard for the Jewish vote, and still getting nothing but scorn from the vast majority of Jews, Trump has, in his own weird way, opened up the eyes of many normies to the Jewish Question. I have seen more and more normies wondering why the Jews hate Trump so much when he has done so much for them. It’s the same drive that has caused them to replace White Christians with blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims, all of whom have significantly higher levels of antisemitic attitudes. Either way, had Trump acted more like Pat Buchanan, let alone David Duke, normies would have a ready-made excuse as to why they didn’t like him. By trying and failing to appease the Jews as he did (and will continue to do so), a long-term shift is occurring in Dixie.
The third reason is abortion. It really is hard to overestimate just how passionate normie Christians are about abortion. Of all the social issues that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, homosexuality, drug use and normalization, removing prayer in school, etc., abortion is the only one Conservatism, Inc. will still pretend to fight. Global corporations used to be able to defeat rightwing populism in red states by threatening to pull their business (those brave “job creators”). However, when they tried that with infanticide, something different happened. Normies grew a backbone and stated emphatically that they didn’t care, they were going to protect unborn children. And ever since, global corporations have had a significantly harder time blackmailing states – their bluff was called and it’s all because of just how important abortion is to normie Christians. The Jewish response to this has been to go nuclear, spewing their hatred of Christians on social media, and talking about how abortion is a Jewish value. Considering they call Herod “Herod the Great,” this may be true. I think this was likely done to scare Christians away. Instead, Christians have just doubled down. I am seeing more and more normies taking note of all this. Healthy societies must protect their children and a key sign a society has entered its decadent phase is when it no longer considers the protection of its children to be a value – see late-stage pagan Rome. Dixie, for all her problems, is a healthy enough society to protect her children, and by fighting against this so vigorously, Jewish leadership is helping transform the attitudes of millions of formerly philosemitic Southerners.
Not all the values of a nation are set in stone. Ireland, long thought of as a bastion of Catholic fanaticism, only really became so less than 200 years ago. Just because many Southerners have attitudes on the Jews, that range from unwise to heretical, does not mean this will always to be the case. Poland went through a dramatic shift in this regard, and Dixie is now set to possibly go through her own transformation. Viewpoints are changing and Dissident Rightists, especially Southern Nationalists, must be prepared to take advantage of this semitic shift.
Interestingly, this wasn’t a problem in Christendom in the early centuries. Read some Justin Martyr, Johannes Chrysostom, Augustine, or Martin Luther. Most professing Christians today are sorely deficient in sound theology that’s based in Scripture.
Much of this problem has its roots in ‘Scofieldism’ — which is rank heresy.
1 John 2:22-23 KJV
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
I think that’s plain enough. Why do so many professing Christians miss it?
Judah Philip Benjamin, Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State for the Confederacy. Jefferson Davis’ key advisor.
Add Russia to the list as documented in Two Hundred Years Together, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Oddly the Southern shift in normie’s attitude toward Israeli loyalty and agendas is less about threats to Southern identity but because of their latent civic loyalty to America. It’s a huge step forward however and using this momentum Judo-style to get our people to come all the way has never been more within reach.
The Jews brought the Blacks here because they wanted to pollute a White,Christian nation.Ben Franklin said Jews should have been barred from coming here.The plantation owners were traitors to the White race.They are just like the sick English aristocracy which intermarried with Jews and became traitors to their own.Only the Jews benefited from the English world empire.White Southern plantation owners were the only Whites who slept with ugly Black apes.The vast majority of Whites lost out in so many ways because of slavery.It was as much a vehicle to keep down Whites as it was to get free Black labor.Hitler had it right,the White race must have no overlords or betters,all classes are equal and good if organized as a White,Christian nation.I love the White Southern people but I despise those pawns of Satanic Jewry, the planter class.Robert E Lee would never have let his son or daughter marry a poor Christian White of good character and therein lies my problem.No more wealthy,decadent class lording over the infinitely superior”lower”classes of Whites.But I cannot rewrite history and there is no time left for this Earth to create a new one.I love the CSA but it should have been like Hitler’s ideal where all Whites are equals and no one looks down upon his brother.This classism is a Jewish invention to create division and hatred among Whites.Worship of money and power and palatial homes is nowhere,its Hell.
Great insight. Always remember though, since the Jews are God’s chosen people we must pause a moment to be sure we have the moral high ground before giving the south an intel briefing on them.
Number 1, I think maybe / probably it’s that God chose there / them to bring His Word and Ultimate Sacrifice to all of us. Had it been … Drambuie 🙂 THEY would have been special.
Number 2, since they were chosen satan has and will target them extra with his best and brightest. Thus it seems 99% of all “non Christian” Jews are possessed and don’t know it. How else can they ALL be on the same far left self destructive page!!???
Number 3, When we finally do create CSA II, we’ll have to tackle how to keep non Christian Jews out of any and all gate keeper positions. I have a LOT of answers but certainly not all the answers. Any suggestions?
Hello, Josey. You wrote:
Personally, I think we need to tackle that question before we “create CSA II,” in your iteration. But that is a relatively minor point of disagreement between us. You also asked for “any suggestions?” To which I answer (perhaps presumptively, but anyway), “yes, I have several.” Now, I don’t wish to further pollute the comments threads with our snipings back-and-forth with each other on these matters. So, what do you say to our (me and you) having a conversation about all of this… “guff” under one of my articles instead? If you’re “up for it,” just give me a “nod” in reply to this message, and I will reciprocate. If you’re *not up for it,* then just ignore this message. …
Thanks for the invitation … and I may at some point, however I’d just about given up on this site till I read Padraig Martin’s article a few weeks or so ago regarding secession. Such articles / conversations are VERY rare in what I call “tea & talk rooms,” like this.
I can’t get myself to join in useless conversations AS THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN.
The founders would’ve already had a CSA II up and running and kicked our butts for being pansy’s.
I pretty much will engage articles that suggest / promote restructuring or if you prefer, secession. Unfortunately this means I’ll rarely be posting comments. As good and interesting as many of the other articles are, they’re not worth the time of day unless they’re discussing HOW to PUT OUT the fire. NOT how it started … who’s doing what … how many minutes till the heat kills us. That would be loosely similar to pretending to have serious conversations with mental patients in some facility or another.
I hope to see an article on this subject from you soon. IF you come at it from the right angle it could compete with or maybe exceed those of Mr. Martin!? You DO write like a well educated college professor … even like one who writes college textbooks! The south needs you to pipe in with any intelligent CSA II creating suggestions. Each of has different talents and different answers. TOGETHER we have ALL the answers. Let’s put out the fire and rebuild better than it was.
Dear Josey:
Please forgive me for having neglected my duties in responding to your reply message. I trust you in fact *will* forgive my neglect when you learn what I am about to tell you as an excuse:
Yesterday, literally in the middle of all of this, one of our nieces gave birth to a “premie” daughter not three-hundred yards from our house, in my MiL’s living room recliner. My wife came to me in a panic and exclaimed that we needed to “take her to the hospital!” literally fifteen minutes before the fact. I quickly assessed the situation and told my wife “NO!” Good thing, too, because, as I said, our niece literally had the baby 15 minutes later, and two months premature – had I “gone along” with what my wife was suggesting, she (the baby) would have been born on the highway, twenty miles from a decent hospital and in 100 degree heat. So, instead, we did what we could to assist in the birth, meanwhile calling the local ambulance service to assist us. The baby was born, probably twenty minutes before the ambulance arrived – 3lbs, 13ozs. Tiny! She is in an OKC hospital, and we’re trying to make arrangements for all of that because, you know, she’ll be there for quite a while.
I’ll get back to this when I can, sir. Thank you for the response!
“The Jews are God’s chosen people.” Only those Jews who accept Christ as their savior.
Why must it be a CSAII? Why not an aristocracy or monarchy? Is a traditional, hereditary aristocracy not inherently racial?
History teaches us that won’t work … and prophecy teaches us that will work one time when Jesus reigns in His millennial kingdom. Until then … our “form” of government is best BUT we need an “enforcement division” in CSA II. Something like half Scotland Yard / Sherlock Holmes half special forces type soldiers(?) The main purpose of this division would be to watch for potentially bribed / blackmailed representatives and those in gatekeeper positions. Once some clown acts in a way that’s clearly against we the people the Sherlock part swings into action, investigating down to the tiniest crumbs. If 100 % SURE scumbag was a scumbag off go the soldiers to publicly arrest the traitor and he gets a quick 3 day trial followed by a one time appeal to take less than 1 month. If guilty verdict upheld his fate is carried out immediately on national TV for others who might consider being a traitor in the future to see.
No waiting for some “Durham” or whoever for years to finish some politically hindered excuse of an investigation. Nosiribobski.
Josey,are you using the brain that the Lord gave you?The Jews are NOT God’s chosen people.The word Jew never appeared in the Bible for 17 centuries after Christ’s death and resurrection.Those who follow the Satanic cult called Judaism were called Pharisees by Jesus and He fought them and warned against this Synagogue of Satan.A “Jew” can leave the Satanic death cult called Judaism and become a Christian and are born anew.To say the literal children of the Devil are to be revered and held as special makes a mockery of God and His word.To fight the enemies of the cross is blessed.Clearly you are confused.As the Bible states”They went out from us but they were not of us;for if they had been part of us,they no doubt would have continued with us…”Josey you are still not able to get away from the brainwashing by those frauds Scofield and Darby.The murderers of our Lord Jesus are NOT CHOSEN OR SPECIAL,they are demons of Hell.
Excellent article!
I second that FatherDabney.I really enjoyed this article and am ecstatic to think that people might finally stop worshiping the Synagogue of Satan.Those with the noses like sixes are behind all the evils of mankind.Only they could promote race mixing and mass child sacrifice and chopping off the genitals of young men and women.They use their control of TV,movies,internet etc to put thoughts into all our minds that no child of God should endure.As a youth I saw and read things put out by those demons that shocked and hurt me to the core.They put sick,perverse sexual ideas into young and old minds alike.Worst of all they work hardest to create the notion that God doesn’t exist.They create doubt and this is evil and blasphemy.They are chosen alright,chosen as agents of Hell.God bless and protect all here in good faith.We are sinners all redeemed only by the sacrifice of God’s dear Son Jesus.God’s power is great and Satan’s is small.In spite of all the hook nose efforts God will give each of us a chance to find His love for us is true.Accept His gift of salvation and He will not let you go.Cling to God because the End is very near indeed.My plea is not directed at anyone in particular but someone who needs it will find it.
What do you think about jewish males and their bizarre glorification of infant circumcision? And what do you think about their sneaky attempt to trick christians into accepting this ungodly blood ritual by claiming that it’s a “medical procedure”?
