The Elders of Zion call it quits

445supermag — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:07:31 -0800

"The Elders of Zion, the venerable and shadowy Jewish organization that controls the international banking industry, news media and Hollywood, has announced that it is disbanding so that members can retire to Florida and live out their golden years on the golf course."

From the Backward, a Purim spoof from The Jewish Daily Forward.

The humor is O.K., but it was kind of disturbing to me that a number of the commentators on the blog really did believe there is a secret Jewish conspiracy running the world from behind closed doors. Or is their sense of humor too subtle for me?

... and it's not even the performance of their stock portfolios that has the old guys down so much. It's that their IT guy of all people, a kid who probably hasn't even heard of IBM, much less knows what it was like to work there, gave them a lecture in last Tuesday's morning meeting about how EoZIP should really be deprecated in favor of TCP/IP. And after all the work that they put into that user's manual years ago! It's as though their golden ago of computing is all but finished; whereas once they had a vast network built to run to high specs on the personal computers of the children of Gentiles, now all they really have is a few antique adding machines with 5 1/4" floppy drives and outdated motherboards.

The rest of the Backward section is pretty funny also I'll say, and Onion-level edgy: Extreme Gaza Makeover Rahm Emanuel's Guide to Down-to-Earth Parenting Jewish Leaders Outraged: See p. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 I was very disappointed that Gratuitous Pictures of Israeli Models: They're Israeli.

You know, growing up Jewish and hearing the various conspiracy theories, I always kinda wished there was a Jewish conspiracy. I mean, if we're going to take the blame for it, we might as well get something out of it, right? I've got lots of Jewish friends, and I think we'd make a great bunch of world dominators. We really should get cracking on this, what with the Elder generation retiring and all.

I mean, if we're going to take the blame for it, we might as well get something out of it, right? I've got lots of Jewish friends, and I think we'd make a great bunch of world dominators. Years ago I was reading a memoir by a Zionist who was in Palestine toward the end of the British Mandate, sitting at a table trying to negotiate concessions from a British delegation, when one of the leaders of the British contingent turned to him and said something to the effect of-- in tones of deep concern-- "are you sure this will be satisfactory to Your Leaders?" At first he couldn't understand what the man was getting at, but at last he realized the negotiator was referring to something like the Elders of Zion, and was in real dread of their power. As I recall, he played it for what it was worth. (This may be garbled, take it for what it's worth.) Oh, and don't forget in this context Huey Long's famous remark: "I don't know much about Hitler, except this last thing. About the Jews - there has never been a country that put its heel down on the Jews that ever lived afterwards."

If the Jews were running things, I really think they'd do a better job of it. The current situation smacks more of eight years of unbridled cowboyism. And why don't my folks (German-Irish) ever get accused of running anything? Is it because half of me is drunk? Yeah, well, the other half makes good cars!

No, this is just a smoke screen. They're only relinquishing control of the international banking industry, news media and Hollywood so they can capture Fnord Motor Company, the Clone Arrangers and the Post Office using Orbital Mind Control Lasers because the Republicans, White Collar Crime and the Multinational Oil Companies were using Secrets Man Was Not Meant to Know to attack The Society of Assassins. Haven't you guys been paying attention to the news at all or do Robot Sea Monsters have to openly attack the CFL-AIO until you get a clue? It's just a reorganization move by the Gnomes. Yeesh, wake up sheeple.
