Brood parasitism describes a fascinating behavioral pattern in the animal kingdom in which a parasite species manipulates a host species into raising and feeding its young. As an evolutionary strategy, it’s highly effective since it relieves the parasite from having to expend resources doing it themselves. In one case, various species of cuckoo will lay eggs in the nests of, say, warblers or magpies, so their chicks will be hatched and fed alongside the host chicks despite differences in egg size and color. In some cases, parasite nestlings compete with their host siblings to the point of killing them or pushing them out of the nests. Even more fascinating is the “mafia hypothesis,” which describes how parasite species, such as the great spotted cuckoo, frequently visit nests it has parasitized. If a host has rejected the parasite’s eggs, the parasites destroy the nests and any host nestlings they find inside of it. Some studies have shown that this mafia-like behavior encourages compliance among host species since rejecting parasite eggs greatly limits their own ability to reproduce.

Something like this is going on in Lakewood, New Jersey, and I’m not talking about birds. About a month ago YouTuber and independent journalist Tyler Oliveira published an hour-long exposé entitled “I Exposed New Jersey’s Jewish Invasion . . .” which covers how Orthodox Jews have ruthlessly taken over Lakewood and are currently expanding into the surrounding townships. And by “taking over” Oliveira discovered that this means that Orthodox Jews have. . .

consolidated political power in Lakewood taking majority control of the township committee planning board, zoning board, and school board. Financially depleting the public school system for non-Jewish kids, overwhelming local infrastructure, and turning a once quiet town into a densely populated, over-trafficked Jewish enclave, prioritizing Jews over non-Jews.

Not only this, but each Orthodox family has anywhere from seven to ten children and are gaming the system—both legally and illegally—to acquire as much free money as possible to afford them. They have their own economies, their own publicly funded police and fire departments, their own emergency services, school systems, grocery stores, everything that will allow their men to study Torah while supposedly earning a living. And according to Oliveira many of these organizations are tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profits.

Meanwhile, Orthodox Jews buy property and build before they get permits, they refuse to sell houses to the goyim, they’re backed by Jewish billionaires, they apply pressure and intimidation tactics to get gentiles to sell their homes, they disregard traffic laws causing many “Kosher collisions,” they turn residences into places of worship, and they behave clannishly until the goyim get fed up and leave. If a goy grew up in one of these towns and holds a certain fondness for the place, well that’s just too bad. And if you complain, that makes you an anti-Semite.

Oliveira explains further. . .

Basically, through block voting, Orthodox Jews won enough seats to control the East Ramapo school board and went on to eliminate hundreds of public school positions like teachers and social workers while approving millions of taxpayer dollars to be spent on their children’s religious private schools, ultimately gutting the public school system for the estimated 9,000 black and brown public school students while diverting that money to their private religious schools.

In these places, the Jews have sex-segregated school buses, which, of course, exclude the goyim—except as unwilling taxpaying benefactors. The ultimate slap on the face occurred when drastic budget cuts closed down a public elementary school, and the majority-Jewish school board voted to sell the building to a Yeshiva for pennies on the dollar.

In one of the more enraging moments, Oliveira captures video of particularly loathsome Jewish man telling the goyim, “You don’t like it? Find yourself another place to live!”

If this isn’t an example of human brood parasitism, I don’t know what is.

Oliveira is very much the man-on-the-street documentarian. He is utterly fearless when approaching strangers and asking touchy questions, usually about a certain locale where things aren’t always as they seem. He entered Jewish radar earlier this year with a video entitled, “Inside the New York Town Invaded by Welfare-Addicted Jews. . .” in which he travels to the village of Kiryas Joel in Upstate New York to find out how Orthodox Jews can afford massive families while studying Torah all day. The majority of the video features him going up to black-garbed Jews in the streets in their beards and hats and flowing locks and asking them what they do for a living, how many children they have, if they’re on welfare, et cetera. Sometimes they humor him, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they trust him, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they speak English, sometimes they don’t.

It’s pretty nosy stuff, and I certainly wouldn’t want to field such probing questions from an inquisitive stranger with a camera crew and boom mike. Yet through his charm and persistence, Oliveira not only justifies his nosiness, he makes the viewer want to be nosy as well. If these people are defrauding the government and abusing the system in order to expand their numbers and influence, then I would like to know about it. Just like how Nick Shirley exposed the network of Somali fraud in Minneapolis, Oliveira is digging deep in Lakewood.

The Kiryas Joel documentary, however, made Oliveira notorious among the Orthodox Jews. So when he came to Lakewood, they knew who he was. Often they’d honk their horns to disrupt his interviews. Some would follow him around, and attempt to intimidate him or instruct people not to talk to him. Some would argue and scold and accuse him of being an anti-Semite. Some called the police on him for being a public nuisance. And some were actually quite nice and engaging with him.

As with the Kiryas Joel video, Oliveira interviews the goyim in Lakewood to gauge their response to the Jewish takeover. It seems most of them know what’s going on and are uncomfortable with it. One “goyim spokesperson” named Mike Caldarise rides around with Oliveira and praises the Jews for being polite and nonviolent. He strives to build bridges with them, but states plainly that Lakewood is now “two separate communities.” He speaks of Jews “expanding their territory” and has no illusions that this is a modern form of segregation. He says:

They’re creating hatred. They create the double standard. They create the animosity between two groups. And when I say ‘they’, I mean governments and people that buy off politicians to make favorable laws. Because a lot of this shit they do is legal.

While also recognizing that the Jews are never violent, Oliveira seems to understand that demographic warfare is taking place:

But it’s important to understand the bigger picture here. As kosher stores move in, more Jews move here, too, creating a positive feedback loop where a town rapidly becomes a Jewish hub, ultimately changing the character and identity of a town, and in Lakewood’s case, overwhelming the infrastructure. Before we explore the many implications of life for Goyim as towns like Lakewood become increasingly Jewish, I want you to understand how quickly the word anti-Semitism gets weaponized in real time out here.

Throughout the video he engages with Jews who employ all sorts of slovenly logic to defend what they’re doing. For example, Jews take government money but they also work hard, so they deserve it. Or, there can’t be any fraud in Lakewood because the FBI isn’t investigating them. Or, you can’t investigate fraud committed by Jews because that would be anti-Semitic. Or my favorite: Elon Musk has twelve kids, so why can’t I have twelve kids?

Here is a fascinating exchange between Oliveira and an Orthodox Jewish resident of the Lakewood area:

RESIDENT: Tyler, it seems like you’ve discovered that anti-Semitism is lucrative. No?

OLIVEIRA: Why do you think anything that you don’t like to see is anti-Semitism? What have I said that’s anti-Semitic? Go.

RESIDENT: When you talk about people accepting government money and the overlay is a bunch of pictures of fraud, you’re trying to twist it to make it look like we’re doing fraud.

OLIVEIRA: There were welfare programs that were defrauded by Jews. What did I say that was a lie?

RESIDENT: There are welfare programs that are defrauded by everybody.

OLIVEIRA: Yes. And I made a Minneapolis video as well. I made several videos. Why are you being so sensitive?

RESIDENT: What you’re trying to make it sound is like anyone who accepts government money in the Jewish community is doing fraud.

OLIVEIRA: That’s your interpretation.

RESIDENT: What you’re doing is dangerous.

OLIVEIRA: How is this dangerous? Why should you be treated like a protected group? You’re asking for special privileges.

RESIDENT: No, we’re not. We’re asking just to be fair, and you’re not being fair.

OLIVEIRA: I am being fair.

RESIDENT: This is going to make you a lot of money and it’s going to gin up a lot of hatred towards a community that’s seeing a rise in anti-Semitism that hasn’t been seen in years. Every single day, our lives are at risk and this is going to lead to more.

OLIVEIRA: My sponsor literally got pulled out of the video once they learned the topic of that video. I lost the sponsorship. How is that lucrative? Tell me. Do you say anti-Semitism? I say anti-Goyism!

I know that Jews are stereotypically very smart, but these Orthodox fellows appearing in Oliveira’s videos are anything but.

Intercut throughout the video is Oliveira’s interview with Richard Roberts, a Jewish mega-millionaire who was vice-chairman of the Israel Advisory Committee for Donald Trump in 2016. He casually admits that he “toppled” the government of Jackson, which is next door to Lakewood. He also speaks at length of his ties within the Republican Party, which he takes full advantage of. Of all the Jews in both of Oliveira’s videos, Roberts is the most genial and articulate. He attempts to defend the Jewish side of the argument and justify their double standard. But he does so legalistically and therefore weakly, in my opinion.

Unlike the Kiryas Joel video, however, Oliveira’s Lakewood video delves into some of the more organized gentile responses to the Jewish takeover. Whenever Roberts makes a point, Oliveira will cut to a leading gentile for a swift refutation.

Jennifer Galarza is the founder of Jackson Strong and is described as a “Goyim Advocate.” She has led letter-writing campaigns and other efforts to prevent the turnover, as she calls it. She has urged non-Jews not to sell their homes. For her efforts she has endured insults, libel, and death threats online—even coming from people in Israel. Her webpage was taken down for no reason and then later hijacked and turned into an “anti-Goyim harassment page.” She offers personal anecdotes about how the Orthodox arrive at public parks by the busloads where they throw dirty diapers on the ground and allow their children to urinate in public. “The comfort you once had in your neighborhood is no longer there,” she says. She mentions how Orthodox Jews cut the necks of chickens and let the blood pour in the streets. She shows Oliveira the trash which accumulates outside their homes. She also complains about the rats that have plagued Jackson as a result.

“Here it’s strictly about religion. Nothing else,” she says. “All these men going to Yeshiva until they’re thirty-five years old. They’re not producing college students. They’re not producing people that are going to go and benefit the greater good of our society.”

Chris Pollak, a city councilman in Jackson, lays it out even more bluntly. “Let’s be real. New Jersey State is essentially a criminal organization because everything they do is for some type of special interest, for somebody to benefit somehow.” Later in the video, he states:

We need to fight back against the state. We’ve had large lawsuits against us because we tried to keep out this problem. We’ve had the Department of Justice come down on us. Billionaires connected to the President involved in all this. What’s happening in this little town in Jersey is bigger than people think. . . The powers out here are pretty immense.

Oliveira’s journalist work will come as a surprise to many, but not to those who’ve studied history and understand that these kinds of shenanigans from Ostjuden, or, Eastern European Jews (as opposed to more assimilated Jews) are nothing new. Albert Lindemann’s 1997 work Esau’s Tears is a splendid resource which chronicles gentile responses to Jewish encroachments for the past couple centuries. The work airs many of the reasonable complaints so-called “anti-Semites” have made about parasitic behavior from Jews, which eerily resembles what’s going on in places like Lakewood and Jackson today. These complaints center around Jewish clannishness, ruthlessness, dirtiness, and their lack of compunction when using their wealth and influence to abuse the system at the expense of everyone else.

When discussing how socialist Beatrice Potter Webb felt about the Ostjuden in England around the turn of the twentieth century, Lindemann writes:

Webb described the eastern-European Jews as unaffected by considerations that inhibited native small-scale capitalists, such as personal reputation and dignity, class loyalty, or traditions of honesty in a given trade. Low-quality products, ruthless competition, and exploitation of those who worked for them allowed Jews to succeed rapidly. She concluded, “in short, the foreign Jew totally ignores all social obligations.” In these Jewish qualities, she continued, were to be found the reasons for anti-Semitism: resentment over Jewish success, fear of Jewish power, distaste for Jewish ruthlessness.

Despite giving Jews ample time to defend their perspective—and being friendly and disarming throughout—Tyler Oliveira clearly remains skeptical. He’s goyim, after all, and thankfully that’s where his loyalties seem to lie. Does this make him biased? I don’t think so. If anything, Oliveira is biased against fraud and is perfectly happy to record Jews tying themselves in knots as they defend it. He’s basically doing what he’s supposed to do as a documentarian. If Jews look bad as a result, that’s nobody’s fault but their own.

As for his racial consciousness, Oliveira seems to respect the interests of whites as much as he does the “black and brown” people who’ve been victimized by Lakewood’s Jews and the Hispanics who seem to be doing all their manual labor. (He often gets chummy with them while speaking to them en Español.) In his Kiryas Joel video he twice brings up the double standard of how white-only enclaves are illegal but Jewish-only enclaves are encouraged—thereby giving voice to people like myself who support, at the very least, white separatism and freedom of association. As a result, Oliveira has lost sponsors, both present and past, has been the subject of smears from the Anti-Defamation League, and has lost his Patreon account. Lilly Gaddis has the details.

Fortunately, despite the backlash, Oliveira doesn’t seem willing to back down:

Here’s what I’ve learned. When they can’t call you a liar, they attack your name. When attacking your name doesn’t work, they pressure your sponsors. When you don’t need the sponsors because you have the direct financial support from your viewers using websites like Patreon, they delete your Patreon. They don’t want me to have a platform. Fine. I built my own. TylerRaw.com. No middlemen, no censorship, just the truth. My job is to ask uncomfortable questions and to start uncomfortable but important conversations. . . The show doesn’t stop till I’m 6 feet under.

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
