> Where Anti-Semitism Is Mainstream>> \> By Richard Cohen> Tuesday, June 16, 2009>> ====================>>> Dear Mr. Cohen:>>> I am the person your colleague Darryl Fears interviewed re James von Brunn. Ispoke with him several times by phone and read his mass emails. He was, whateverhis views and alleged actions, a highly intelligent man with a fine war record. Itis alleged that he shot the Holocaust Museum guard, but an eyewitness, MariaHernandez, said on the CNN live feed that she saw one guard shoot and kill theother. I suspect von Brunn may have gone into the Museum to take hostages, as hesought to do in 1981 at the Federal Reserve. His actions were thus no more"crackpot" than those of John Brown, who assaulted the federal arsenal at Harper'sFerry. The man sought to make a statement, at the very least, and he succeeded.>>> Further, von Brunn's "statement" reflected a growing consensus. Whether it wasJimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid, or the Israel lobby books of Waltand Mearsheimer, which I assume you will not disqualify as the works of crackpots,or the recent finding that support for Israel has dropped by 20%, von Brunnrepresents just the extreme tip of a new general American consensus which anendless litany of Jewish names has reinforced (Goldman Sachs, Lehmann Brothes,Bernie Madoff, etc.): that Jews rule Wall Street, they control the media (you,sir, hardly are well-placed to disprove that), and they hold pernicious sway overthe economy (Greenspan and Ben Shalom Bernanke) and also over US mideast policy.>>> Was von Brunn a crackpot? Well, perhaps John Brown was too -- but Brownsucceeded in making his abolitionist views far more high-profile by his act, andthat led to the "Civil War" and the emancipation of the slaves. In myconversations with von Brunn, he sounded very sane, very sane and yet bitter, andthus like many millions of other Americans who see Jewish banks still being bailedout and Main Street still going straight down to hell.>>> I lived off and on in Washington DC 1977-2008, and now I am again outside theBeltway, in the Pittsburgh area, and here von Brunn's action is considered extremebut the "being fed up" part is not.>>> The crackpots are those who think white anger, increasingly empty white stomachsand white tent cities of the unemployed will not translate into further unrest. Wejust lost 600,000 more jobs, and your “Tribe,” as I know well you call it fromhaving dated a Jewish lady, accepts no responsibility, as usual, for this economicmega-crime that it has instigated.>>> I would also suggest you read the latest Rolling Stone article on Goldman Sachs.>>> Sincerely,
