A Very Heimische Zalman Bernstein Coda to a Tumultuous TrumpNazi Week: Tikvah Tablet Jacob Siegel Promotes the Intellectual Dark Web (12/2)

Jacob Siegel Ends the Tikvah Trumpscum Jew Week with a Frightening Coda
Lat Friday, just minutes prior to Candle Lighting, I became aware of the Trump YEEZUS Nick Fuentes story, which led to a frantic scramble to get the SHU post out right before Shabbat started.
Since then, I have spent the week in my home with a cold and spent far too much time obsessing over The Tikvah Fund; an obsession which can be found in this week’s Zalman Bernstein TGIFs, which, unfortunately, I am now adding to and bringing to a Trumpscum Jew closure:
That’s right, Jacob Siegel was at his Whore of Trumpiest on Thursday night:
So it’s war.
Twitter, the social media platform that led the charge in censoring reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop, was reluctantly forced to approve Elon Musk’s $44 billion “leveraged buyout” Monday after running out of options to block the deal. With that move, the richest man in the world, with a day job running electric car manufacturer Tesla, instantly promoted himself to five-star general of a free speech army fighting to liberate the internet from top-down political control. “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk tweeted in his first statement announcing the deal, where he also pledged to make the platform’s algorithms open source “to increase trust,” defeat the site’s spam bots, and authenticate its human users. “The Berlin Wall of censorship fell yesterday,” internet entrepreneur David Sacks tweeted on Tuesday.
If Sacks had wanted to use a different metaphor, he might have said that Musk had captured a key foothold—a defensible initial position from which to build up forces in an effort to gradually expand the territories in which it’s possible to dissent from the party line on issues like COVID-19 or U.S. policy in Ukraine where discourse has been most tightly regulated. Because, with this latest move, Musk and a merry band of fellow billionaires that includes Sacks and the venture capitalist Marc Andreesen seem to be coalescing into an American counterelite committed to breaking the monopoly on public discourse held by our current ruling class.
On the other side of the skirmish line we have the forces of the bipartisan political establishment under the command of General Barack Obama. The members of this faction are easy to identify because they have been engaged in an unhinged freakout for weeks. Ever since news first broke indicating that Musk was trying to acquire a controlling share of Twitter, his critics have been apoplectic about the dangers to democracy that will be unleashed by allowing users to more freely share and view information. Former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich captured the shrill zeitgeist of apocalyptic liberal technocrats everywhere when he warned that Musk’s “libertarian vision of an ‘uncontrolled’ internet [is] also the dream of every dictator, strongman, and demagogue.” Uh, sure, “what linked Idi Amin, Suharto, and Adolf Hitler,” James Kirchick recently noted in The Scroll, “was their belief in unfettered freedom of speech.”
But the official, buttoned-up version of the freakout was articulated by Obama himself. Less than a week ago in a speech at Stanford University, the former president warned that it’s necessary to impose more regulations on the internet, in order to prevent toxic disinformation from destroying American democracy by eroding citizens’ trust. “Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game’s won,” Obama told the audience at the Silicon Valley hub. “As Putin discovered leading up to the 2016 election,” Obama said, “our own social media platforms are well designed to support such a mission.”
The Stanford speech was a nearly perfect encapsulation of what is so corrupt about the disinformation discourse—which is, at this moment, frantically being redirected against Musk to force him into playing ball or being painted as a Russian stooge. In the same speech where he made the case for more censorship, even while hollowly proclaiming his commitment to free speech, Obama could not stop himself from echoing the single most destructive piece of disinformation of the modern political era—the establishment’s “big lie” that Russia swung the 2016 election for Donald Trump, a claim that has repeatedly been proved false but is kept alive because it makes such an effective political weapon.
Obama has to uphold the Russian collusion narrative, even if it means spreading disinformation himself, because that extraordinary claim established the basis for the joint government-tech company control over the information environment, which was expanded under COVID and he now wants to fortify. In the current system, which Musk is vowing to change, social media platforms take orders on censorship protocols from government officials and partisan functionaries with titles like “fact-checker” who work inside the complex of NGOs funded by the Democratic Party.
If Obama, or President Biden for that matter, was serious about curtailing the power of the tech oligarchs, they would put aside the culture war rhetoric and act in the national interest by using antitrust laws to break up tech monopolies. That might actually restore political agency to American citizens and political sovereignty to the government. So why hasn’t that happened, and indeed won’t ever happen? Because the Democratic Party relies on the tech companies to fund its political campaigns and regulate what kind of information reaches voters.
The populist movements of 2016 were an attempt on both the left and right to wrest power back from technocratic elites. Those movements relied on figureheads—Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump—because average voters, even when they were tens of thousands strong, were too cut off from the levers of power located inside institutional centers to pose any long-term challenge to the American ruling class. Even Trump, at the time supposedly the most powerful man in the world, couldn’t quash the false Russia collusion narrative or keep himself from getting booted off of Twitter, and was forced to mope off pathetically like he was just another anonymous troll account.
Musk and other billionaires who are now coalescing into the counterelite are testing out what happens when they simply buy back the central institutions of public discourse and—exercising a degree of independence that only truly “fuck you money” can buy—remake the rules in a way that empowers average users but directly threatens the interests of the establishment elite.
It is, let us say, hardly ideal in a democracy to depend on the whims of a billionaire who seems to get off on winding people up to secure the basic constitutional protections of free speech. Let’s not forget that Twitter’s founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey—who has been embarrassingly woo-woo in his praise of Musk—was until very recently more than happy to go along with the Hunter Biden charade and the government’s other censorship demands. But given Twitter’s current ownership structure, in which the majority of its shares are owned by BlackRock and Vanguard, and the fact that the company serves an alliance of global financial capital, the Democratic Party, and progressive activists, I’ll take my chances on the counterelite.
For those who do not memorize Siegel’s Fascist tirades, he tells us that the article is a re-post:
This article originally appeared in The Scroll on April 26, 2022.
And that is important, because it reflects how the Whore of Trump Tikvah mindset wants us to see the Trump Fuentes affair – though it is rather opaque in the Ashkenazi racist PILPUL manner.
It is about what Bari Weiss calls the Intellectual Dark Web, as she linked to Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson:

Weiss has singled out Trumpscum Jew Silicon Valley Fascist David Sacks for praise:

Just like she praised Unabomber-loving Nazi-hero Blake Masters:

Siegel has done his bit for the New Fascism with his praise for Trumpscum Monarchist Curtis Yarvin:

Given the response – or lack of response – from The Tikvah Fund machers on the full-blown emergence of TrumpNazism, it is pretty clear that the Trumpscum Jews will not be voting for the Zombie Orange Pig anymore.
Whether this will prevent him from getting the 2024 Republican presidential nomination – given that it is unlikely that the New Banana Republic AG will ever indict him – is an unknown. It is interesting that the largest concentrations of Jews – including the Trumpscum ones – are in states that will likely never go Trump. And it will likely increase the tension between the Real Trumpists and the Jew Trumpists, as the Real Trumpists are Anti-Semites.
So, what Jacob Siegel in his Whore of Trump obstinacy seems to be doing is to continue the Troll the Libs radicalism in order to find a pathway for the New Fascism without the Trump baggage.
He is telling us in this Scroll re-post that it is in the Silicon Valley Trump Fascism that the real “Jewish” future lies.
In David Sacks, Elon Musk, and Hunter Biden’s laptop.
And the RUSSHER COLLOOSION Hoax!
Bring back John Durham.
Now, The Tikvah Fund is flush with cash, and the arrogance of Fascist fanatics like Siegel – as with Newhouse, Leibovitz, and Weiss – is on full display. They are all blissfully unaware of German Jewish history, where the full-of-it contented rich Jews thought that nothing would ever happen to them.
So, we end then week with the many Bastard Children of Zalman Bernstein embracing First Things Catholic Fascism, rooting for the Republican Party to come up with a post-Trump option that would keep that Catholic Fascism, in the end committing themselves without qualification to the Trumpist struggle against WOKE, Cancel Culture, and Liberal values.
How they can do this in a fully Nazified Republican Party is an open question, but what is not an open question – as I will once again show on Saturday night in a post on the Tikvah ASF – is how The Tikvah Fund remains a determinative force in the institutional Jewish world, and more specifically inside the Sephardic community, which remains tied to those anti-democratic and anti-liberal values, as expressed by Dara Horn in her unhinged attacks on Ken Burns through her promotion of the Mussolini disciple Vladimir Jabotinsky.
The Tikvah Straussians have made the full transition into Jewish Fascism, and we will have to keep watching how it manifests itself in the Synagogues, Yeshivahs, and JCCs which our families and friends attend and who are being decimated at a moral level.
