Thore, I've hijacked your post from the
classification thread and split it so to allow myself to debate an issue which is of relative general interest.
You were trying to uncover the Jew hidden on a particular individual from the Norwegian political spectrum, on mere anthropological/racial bases. This is, in my opinion, flawed. While it is true that many Jews belong to one given racial subgroup, it is also true that many others are mixed enough to be able to pass as Gentiles among the Gentiles. They have been performing this ethnic camouflage for a very long time, probably ever since 70 AD when Titus entered Jerusalem with his legions.
The problem, therefore, is not merely racial. Judaism is more dangerous than a simple series of ethno-social characteristics coming from a racially identifiable group. Judaism has transcended the group identified as Jewish, infiltrating itself into their host societies and groups, and adopting part of their forms while at the same time modifying others.
I'll give some examples, but before I move forward in this issue allow me to insert a small introduction on another issue. I've noticed that some people
maintain a much openly hostile attitude against Christianism. This hostility is based on two misconceptions by the Neo-Pagans: one that Christianism invaded/substituted the spiritual terrains of Paleo-Paganism, and the other that Christianism is a Semitic religion and therefore equals somehow to Hebrewism.
For the first, a brief comment just to say that Neo-Paganism seems to forget about the evolutive nature of man. An evolutive nature that does not stop only at the physical, but it goes beyond into the spiritual. This is easy to see if when you realize that Christianism did not limit itself to simply substitute the old religions, but adopted them and much of those ancient Paleo-Pagan religions can be found in Christianism. Something that Neo-Paganism presents as a mere robbery, but which in fact it is more of an evolutive process in the spirituality of the Europeans.
As for Christianism being a Semitic religion, the argument is flawed among other reasons for its extreme simplicity. When a Neo-Pagan accuses Christianism of being Semitic, he expects Christians to provide evidence that deny such accusation. This is lazy, but above all it is wrong. It is the accuser who should provide
solid evidence for his accusations.
I've pointed to the flawed simplicity of the argument because in common speak the word christianism is far from defining a unitary spiritual view or religion. And it is here where this short clause starts to link with the original issue.
I come from a Catholic Tradition and education. I haven't seen any Judaism or pro-Judaism in the Catholic Tradition in which I was educated in Spain. Rather the opposite. If I look into the history of Christianism, all I see is an spiritual belief moulded in the spirit of the European peoples and which provided the first and strongest ideology to counter Judaism.
I can attest this for the Catholic as well as the Orthodox Churches. I'm not all that sure about the Protestand Churches. As part of the Reform, there came Calvinism. And it is the Calvinist doctrine that you see Judaism infiltrating in the spiritual terrains of the Gentile peoples of Europe.
As Werner Sombart consistently shows (you can read his work The Jews and Modern Capitalism
here), Calvinism was heavy influenced by the
Marranos, the Jewish false converts to Christianism, who used it as a form of revenge against the persecution that they went through in the Spains, and to start a process of destruction to what was the bastion against their advance, namely the Church and Spain.
Calvinism, or more exactly Neo-Judaism, rooted in some countries of NW Europe. In Spain, attempts to Neo-Judaism were dealt with by the Inquisition, and their adepts condemned for the crime known as
judaising. Under different denominations --English Puritans, Dutch Reformed Church, French Huguenots, Scottish Presbyterians, German Anabaptists, ...--, they grew in the societies of those countries where they became a basic an important element to the creation and development of those countries.
The Dutch Trade Empire was led by them. Britain starts its development as a World Empire since the arrival of these Jews. The cancer grows as part of those societies, and from there they spread it to their colonies. America, in its foundations, is Judaic and the Jews and Neo-Judaics are present there since the start.
Back to the original issue of the post, you look for a ethno-antropological trait which may help you find a Jew, or you may look for an adherence to a visible Judaic doctrine, Hebrewism. Yet the process started many centuries ago and it is no longer enough because there has been a
mutation through centuries-long camouflage. He may look like the average Dutch.. or American. He needs not go to a synagogue, because he may be adherent to any of the Calvinist sects, or any of the new so-called christian identity sects in America. In fact he need not be of Jewish origins at all. He is soaking with Judaism be it through the Judaic society in which he lives or through generations of Calvinist teachings.
It is not biological racism that we should hope for. It is the spirituality and of the ethical values of our people that we must look forward to preserve. In them lies the nation, and only through them the ethnical preservation of a nation makes sense. For some, however, it is already too late as what they perceive as national is already much tainted with this seed of evil.
