Counter-Currents
In 2019 the Hollywood Reporter gathered together seven Hollywood executives regarded as being among the most powerful in the business for a roundtable discussion, which is pictured here (click to enlarge). From the left, they are Scott Stuber, head of original films for Netflix; then-Disney Co-Chair Alan Horn; Tom Rothman, “Chairperson” of Sony Pictures; Donna Langley, Chairwoman of Universal; the moderator; then-Warner Bros. Chairman Toby Emmerich; then-Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos; and Amazon Studio Chief Jennifer Salke. All of the executives are Jews except for Langley, although she attends events at the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and Gianopulos, who is Greek Orthodox, although he has been “honored” by the Center. Horn, Emmerich, and Gianopulos have since all been replaced by other Jews.

In 1996, while hosting the “Weekend Update” segment on Saturday Night Live, Norm Macdonald made the following comment:
“Earlier this week, actor Marlon Brando met with Jewish leaders to apologize for comments he made on Larry King Live — among them, that ‘Hollywood is run by Jews.’ The Jewish leaders accepted the actor’s apology and announced that Brando is now free to work again.”
Macdonald later explained that this was one of his all-time favorite “jokes” because all he did was report exactly what happened. What actually happened was funny enough without the need for any extra setup or embellished punchline.
In 2002, a satirical article I wrote about Adolf Hitler being ordered to undergo anger-management therapy by a judge in Portland, Oregon contained the following passage. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written:
Adolf Hitler became a Portland resident about ten years ago after a more than forty-year stint in Argentina following WWII, a war that Hitler now wistfully calls “The One That Got Away.” After moving here, he attracted immediate local attention when a Willamette Week reporter quoted him as saying, “The Jews run everything.” The city’s Jewish mayor, the Jewish head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Jewish police chief all demanded that Mr. Hitler retract his statement.
It’s essentially the same joke that Norm Macdonald told — and that reality keeps telling again and again — with the only exception being that my account was purely fictional.
In 2010, CNN anchor Rick Sanchez called comedian Jon Stewart — whose birth name was Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz — a “bigot” while mocking the idea that Jews are an “oppressed minority”:
Very powerless people . . . [snickers] He’s such a minority, I mean, you know [sarcastically] . . . Please, what, are you kidding? . . . I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they — the people in this country who are Jewish — are an oppressed minority? Yeah. [sarcastically]
After having worked at CNN for six years, Sanchez was promptly fired. Oppressed minorities apparently have more power than anyone previously imagined.
Only someone who is either a liar or completely innumerate would deny that Jewish dominance of America’s major institutions such as media, finance, academia, and government is absurdly disproportionate to their paltry quotient of the population. It’s a statistical fact. The only matter that seems open for debate is exactly why this is a statistical fact.
The Jew Defenders among us would argue that it’s simply a reflection of Jews’ disproportionately high IQs. But these seem to be exactly the same people who deny that whites outperform blacks due to their higher intelligence. It’s only when a group outperforms whites on IQ tests that IQ suddenly becomes real to these types.
The Jew Accusers among us would likely not deny Jewish intelligence, but they’d argue that extremely pathological inbred nepotism and ragingly hypocritical guilt-projection is what sets Jews apart from other groups with similarly high intelligence, such as Indians and the Chinese. When one compares average IQs between Jews and Caucasians, the latter’s overwhelming numerical superiority means there are far more Caucasian geniuses in America than Jewish ones, so IQ can’t possibly be the only explanation.
Jewish dominance of American media wasn’t always such a taboo topic. In 2008, the LA Times ran a piece by a self-admitted Jew named Joel Klein called “Who runs Hollywood? C’mon.” Klein claimed to be “upset” by a recent poll that showed a mere 22% of Americans agreed with the sentiment “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” a number which had plummeted from nearly 50% in 1964. He said that Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League didn’t deny disproportionate Jewish ownership of Hollywood, but merely blanched at the idea that they “control” it:
“That’s a very dangerous phrase, ‘Jews control Hollywood.’ What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood,” [Foxman] said. Instead of “control,” Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry “happen to be Jewish,” as in “all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish.”
To my knowledge, that was the only article in a mainstream publication over the past generation to admit that Jews are statistically overrepresented in media ownership. Since this is a mathematical fact, one would assume that so-called objective reporters would have no problems with reporting it. Perhaps because he’s Jewish, Klein was not fired for his article. Amazingly, it’s still up on the LA Times website.
The latest and the most high-profile person to receive the “Don’t you dare allege that we’re powerful, or we’ll do everything in our power to destroy your life” treatment was the no-filter former billionaire musician Kanye West, who has tossed the following comments at the world like handfuls of multicolored anti-Semitic confetti over the past couple weeks:
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE.”
“Jewish people have owned the black voice.”
“We just get used to getting screwed by the Jewish media. And I’m saying, y’all’ve poked the bear too fucking long.”
As someone who’s not especially known for coherence or logical consistence, West muddied the waters by saying that blacks are actually the real Jews — which, I suppose, would make it less of a crime if Jews (blacks) “owned the black voice”:
“The funny thing is I actually can’t be anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jew also.”
“When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race black really are. This is who our people are. The blood of Christ. This, as a Christian, is my belief.”
In an exchange that was edited out of his interview with Tucker Carlson, West also said that Margaret Sanger, “a known eugenics [sic],” created Planned Parenthood with the help of the Ku Klux Klan “to control the Jew population,” which to West — who apparently ascribes to Black Hebrew Israelite orthodoxy — is identical to the black population.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Redneck Manifesto here.
A week ago, West’s net worth was estimated to be around $1.5 billion. After being disavowed by all of his major corporate sponsors — who made it clear that it was his comments about Jews that caused them to distance themselves from West — his current estimated net worth has plummeted to about $400 million.
Before he lost all those contracts, West seemed to feel invincible, stating on a radio show that “[t]he thing about it being Adidas — I can say anti-Semitic things and Adidas can’t drop me.”
But Adidas dropped him, too, taking an estimated $250 million loss for their first Kanye-free year since 2012.
Some continue to insist that Jews had nothing to do with West’s defenestration and that it’s actually his ongoing support for Donald Trump that caused corporations to pull the plug. If that was even remotely true, this would have happened back in 2016, when West loudly proclaimed his support for Trump and never stopped proclaiming it. West also famously alleged in 2018 that “slavery was a choice” for black people, and his career proceeded unhindered.
With all the ominous murmurs about tech companies and even the government gearing up to punish people for spreading “disinformation,” it appears that one can get in far more trouble for speaking the truth than for lying.
Astonishingly, I haven’t heard one major media star from the industry that Jews supposedly don’t control come out and support West’s statements. He was roundly and piously condemned. Samples of the aggressive virtue-signaling against West include:
“Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud.” — Comedienne Sarah Silverman
“’Kanye West’s threat to Jews is as ever based on a myth of Jewish power, a myth believed across the political spectrum.” — British comedian David Baddiel
“Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric toward them to come to an immediate end.” — Kim Kardashian, West’s ex-wife
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has never hesitated to say bad things about white people, hastily condemned West:
There is absolutely no room in this country or world for antisemitism. It is important to see how harmful + dangerous Kanye’s words are — not only to our Jewish brothers, sisters, & siblings, but also to our collective society at large.
The American Jewish Committee released a statement:
Kanye West has had a streak of rants this week that is remarkable even by his standards. Ye needs to see that words matter, especially a vicious antisemitic comment that recently surfaced on social media. . . . If he wants to have any credibility as a commentator on social issues, let alone as a musician, he should start by figuring out how to make a point without fomenting hatred of Jews.
Now, hold on just a cotton-pickin’ moment: How does saying that Jews have a lot of power automatically cause “hatred” against them? Considering their small numbers, one might react with admiration and awe at such accomplishments. But there is a savage genius in such brutally dishonest deflection. One can reframe any legitimate criticism of Jews, women, or homosexuals as anti-Semitism, misogyny, or homophobia. That way, one doesn’t even have to address the accusation’s veracity.
Regarding “hate,” it’s always framed as irrational and unprovoked. But is it possible that people start justifiably hating any group that has lied to, gaslit, and cheered for their downfall their entire lives?
This highly public shedding of crocodile tears about Kanye West’s comments might seem more genuine if the same people weren’t sadistically cheering what the media, government, and academia say about white people every day.
If whites were actually privileged — a notion which is not treated as a nutty conspiracy theory but is enshrined as Gospel truth in all modern American institutions — the idea of “white privilege” would be privileged information rather than what passes for reality these days. If “white privilege” were even remotely true, you wouldn’t be allowed to criticize whites without being socially destroyed for life.
Freedom from criticism is the biggest privilege of all. Whites clearly don’t enjoy that privilege. Jews clearly do. Actually, everyone except straight white males enjoys that privilege these days. But the fact that Kanye West was set up for ritual destruction only after criticizing Jews — and not after alleging that blacks chose to be enslaved — suggests that Jews enjoy this privilege more than any other group.
I suspect that most people realize this, but very few are brave enough to say it. And that’s why nothing changes.

To paraphrase our illustrious Italian bard, Guglielmo Crollalanza,
“Kanye is a play within a play in which the Jewish media establishment has protesteth way too much, methinks.”
They really doth.
I remember decades ago there was a local sports radio talk show host who, when discussing a trade, advised our team to Jew them down on the offer. Needless to say he was never heard from again. I can’t even remember his name.
Jimmy the Greek.
I expect an apology from any dummy who said Kanye’s latest antics was terrible for whites and that we had to protect antisemitism from nonwhites lol. It literally took a nonwhite superstar like this to puncture this topic into the mainstream rather than creepy NJP people. I don’t know how long he can or will keep this up, but nobody has ever seen an awakening quite like this. I’ve never seen the monolithic black race divided over anything until now. Now half of them are defending him and half are doing the SJW bit. I never thought I would say this, but God bless the Black Hebrew Israelites. They have eclipsed the Nation of Islam with this imposter shtick. When you see these thugs preaching hatred on street corners they are actually reading the scripture Jews will never say aloud, which is why this is so bad for the ADL. Now they are forcing Jews to acknowledge that Jewishness is indeed an ethnicity that blacks are not a part of, which Lex Fridman almost did.
I will save this article to offer to friends and family who think that, although I am intelligent and accomplished in much of life, I am crazy on this one particular topic.
I was about to say that the “death con 3” comment wasn’t very nice but the fact of the matter is that Jews having been going defcon 1 on whites for quite some time now. The art of it is that if you notice this then you are of course… guilty of anti-Semitism. The defensive reaction to linking Jews with power is perhaps the most palpable thing to ever exist. It’s an artifice and stratagem. You’re in the wrong for noticing. You’re in the wrong for noticing that when Jews hold positions of power they tend to use their position of power for subversive means. I don’t think most people here would have problems with Jews if say Alejandro Mayorkas was deporting illegal aliens.
I think it was Joe Sobran who said, “an anti-Semite used to be someone who hates Jews, now its someone Jews hate.”
Most interesting.
Kanye need not have done this. He’s been promoted by Jews as a battering ram to hurt whites, just like every other rapper. Is he that self unaware that he’s being used now just as much as he was all through his career? He’s just had all his assets liquified. He did not use his millions wisely. If you awaken like this just give the tens of millions to your new political allies who’ve been cash starved for decades.
surely he could have just given much of his net worth away to worthy…
pro white causes instead? Or even to the Black Hebrew Israelites instead. Only way some Hebrew Lawyer wasn’t going to take it away from him in the long run was for him to give much of it away before the inevitable outburst.
Elon Musk if you are reading this act now $$$$££££€€€€€€¥¥¥¥¥ and do it quietly with your wealth and not your mouth.
This article should be 400 words shorter.
What do you mean? Am I missing a joke here? I think the article’s length was just perfect. Do you mean like Mozart’s music – too many notes?
Lol I was just being a knob.

Last night I was investigating and looking for evidence of race quotas in Hollywood. I discovered that Amazon Studios, is explicitly defining a quota system for the industry. It has on camera and behind the camera quotas.
On Camera and Below-the-Line Roles Quota:
30% white men; 30% white women (where a woman can be a dude); 40% POCs – which means blacks. Below-the-Line Quota has goal of 50% by 2024 (does that mean no whites by then?)
Behind Camera (Writer; Director; Producer) Quota:
30% women; 30% POC; 40% non-POC (white?)
Goal to Increase to 50% (no more whites?) by 2024
Amazon Studios CEO Jennifer Salke explicitly endorses these quotas saying: “With the establishment of our Inclusion Policy and Inclusion Playbook, Amazon Studios has committed itself to being a thought and action leader in the transformation of our industry. We know how much work there is to be done to improve representation both on camera and behind the scenes, and it starts at home, with us. With clear directives and a commitment to accountability, these guides provide a path toward a more equitable future, both on- and off-camera.”
Her Discrimination, Exclusion and Intolerance EVP Latasha Gillespie says of their exclusive partnership with Howard University to give a racial hiring pipeline to the industry:
“This program is designed to create an entryway for HBCU students to come into the entertainment industry and have a real impact. Our students are getting hands on experience working alongside industry executives, talent, and creatives to impact the stories we tell and change the faces in front of and behind the camera.”
Of that program Jennifer Salke says:
“Amazon Studios has been working to create new pathways into the industry for talented students of all backgrounds and we are proud to team with Howard on this new program supporting aspiring entertainment leaders.”
All backgrounds. Any people with a background as white working class decimated by de-industrialization and environmental regulation? Of course not. It is just Howard students.
My point here is, this isn’t just talking. Salke is actively working to undermine white people trying to rise on their merits. Her right hand woman has openly called for changing the stories and faces of the people behind and in front of the camera.
Then there is of course Noel Saul Ignatiev of Harvard sanction openly calling for white genocide who is now routinely parroted in the mainstream.
There is a gold mine of replace White with Jew for a bottomless sea of anti-white mainstream quotes. Of course the diversity of the boards and executive levels of Hollywood and the Media is ripe for exposure. Some good memes for Gillespie to substitute the on/off camera roles with executive and ownership roles. Could you imagine the pets going straight after their masters? We can at least meme those seeds into existence. It won’t get white people’s jobs back, but it could, “spark a conversation”, as the SJW’s like to say.
Now is the time for people to jump on this golden opportunity. Ready! Set! Go!

Fact – Jews control Hollywood and the media. When some actor or celebrity mentions this fact, he gets fired immediately – by the Jews. Case proven. And he gets no support from his fellow actors. Case re-proven.
The current situation with Kanye West proves it once again. West said very little, all of it true. However, he missed the big picture, such as Neocon control of US foreign policy, Congress subservient to Israel, its annual $4.5 billion tribute to Israel, jewish control of the judiciary and legal profession, jewish control of the porn industry, jewish high-jacking of the Russian revolution of 1917 – and much more.
How to deal with the JQ? As Jim Goad wrote at the start of this article, Norm MacDonald had a good approach – use truth and good humor. It’s more effective than the inept efforts of Kanye West.
If you ever want to fine-tune your jewdar, all you need to do is listen to a Jew’s attitudes towards Whites. This is foolproof. Works every single time. A colleague of mine, who is quite pleasant in real life, has a Twitter feed that is as antiwhite as they come. Pathetic, nauseating stuff. He often denegrates European achievement and culture and ascribes it to stolen goods from other lands. He boasts constantly about how his ethnic neighborhood is the most linguistically diverse in the midwest. This guy hates hearing too much English. And laughably, he promotes the narrative that Jesuits control our town. Anyway, he has a Polish-sounding last name and has alluded to his (lapsed) Catholic heritage, but I just wasn’t buying it. Lo and behold, last month he volunteers the info about the true nature of his ancestors.
A return of The Unanswered Question. It is perhaps time for whites to do what is expected the next time the topic arises. We HAVE white privilege and are over represented. But in the same breath we have to include the Jews, Indians and Asians that are over represented all over the place, and show the numbers as they are and what a proposal of fixing this issue for everyone looks like. Those are the relevant numbers, not equations related to 88 bracketed by excessive ((parentheses)). Nothing need be mean spirited as exemplified by Norm MacDonald’s comment or Goad’s essay. When additional groups start feeling the spirit of “inclusiveness” that it is not whites leading the exodus from meritocracy, things may get interesting.
Often suppressed, never disproven.
ZOG in action.
Jews rule!
We shouldn’t forget Marc Lamont Hill, the anti-white black who was fired from CNN for saying a few untoward things about Israel.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marc-lamont-hill-fired-cnn-after-his-speech-israel-draws-n942151
According to the linked article (from NBC News), in November 2018 Marc Lamont Hill gave a speech at the UN on its “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.” He supported “a free Palestine from the river to the sea.” This would mean the end of Israel, although he denied it afterwards.
Nevertheless, I don’t think it should be a firing offense. Not fair! Hill is not against Jews, he’s just against Israel. And he still supports the Great Replacement of Whites from America. That mitigates in his favor – CNN should give him credit for that. They didn’t fire him for being anti-White – CNN is too. They fired him for his opposition to the replacement of Palestinians from Palestine. It’s unreasonable for CNN to fire him for that. Do Jews control CNN, I wonder?
Anti-Semitism is a Jew power phrase. The correct term is Counter-Semitism.
Forcing ‘anti-Semitism’ to work for us is the power move. ‘Counter-Semitism’ is more of an academic nicety. It means the same thing.
I personally use “antisemititus,” or “antisemite, antischmemite” to mock their exhaustive drivel. Short, sharp blitzkrieg insult-jabs made viral and popularized can help as much or more than the usual screeds on the hollywood brass and slave ship owners since people have an attention span proportionate to jewish kvetching flare-ups. Scrap dumb terms like “sus,”“that’s fire,” or “ghosted.” Instead, I quite like “dementosexual” or “holocaust suppliers,” and have faith they can take off into standard based amerikan argot.
William the Conqueror invited 10 or 20 thousand jews into England after he conquered it in 1066. He used them as tax collectors and bankers. They were considered Kingsmen and had the liberty to travel unmolested on any estate in the land in pursuit of the kings business.
In a 1290 edict, the jews were expelled from England forever (Which turned out to be some 3 1/2 centuries or so).
The myths of Robin Hood are set within that 224 year jewful period. I like to think that, if Robin Hood was real, he was out there stringing up jewish tax collectors and bankers, and bringing that money back home for the betterment of his people.
There were no Jews in England before 1066. The Conquest was a disaster for the English people in many ways, including the importation of jewish tax-collectors and other swindlers. Therefore, Edward I’s 1290 Edit of Expulsion was beneficial for the people.
From Wikipedia: “This article is about the 1290 Edict of Expulsion from England. For the 1492 Edict of Expulsion from Spain, see Alhambra Decree. For other historic instances of Jews being expelled from the lands where they resided, see Expulsions and exoduses of Jews.” It seems to be a very big topic, for some reason.
“When one compares average IQs between Jews and Caucasians, the latter’s overwhelming numerical superiority means there are far more Caucasian geniuses in America than Jewish ones, so IQ can’t possibly be the only explanation.”
Besides a lack of the obvious moral and social constraints endemic in white European culture, Ashkenazim seem to also have a higher endurance level. Centuries of selective breeding in Europe combined with an evolutionary pressure brought on by the need to stay one step ahead of the pitchfork mob seems to have given them an unusually high level of energy. Our brains constantly run simulations to anticipate the future. That requires a lot of energy. We tire of it as the day goes on but he who can do it longest (and best) will be more successful. No rest for the wicked, as the saying goes.
The Jew Accusers among us would likely not deny Jewish intelligence, but they’d argue that extremely pathological inbred nepotism and ragingly hypocritical guilt-projection is what sets Jews apart from other groups with similarly high intelligence, such as Indians and the Chinese. When one compares average IQs between Jews and Caucasians, the latter’s overwhelming numerical superiority means there are far more Caucasian geniuses in America than Jewish ones, so IQ can’t possibly be the only explanation.
The way you’re trying to contrast the Jews with the Chinese seems to indicate that you don’t seem know much about the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia. Diaspora chinks are the Jews’ mirror image in Asia. Whether it be simple intelligence, or conniving, or both, the secret sauce of their “success” (if you can even call it that–not sure you can call repeated expulsion and pogrom “success”) is the same.
