Modernity Needs A Scapegoat

The caveat comes first because the material is combustible. The lecture says it is easy to see a Jewish conspiracy everywhere, then turns the frame: Jews are not the ultimate empire but a construct and tool of empire. They are the middle managers and scapegoats Lens point taboo-control-surface Modern scapegoating gives hidden power a face when an empire or capital structure keeps profit and control in shadow while a visible middle-manager group absorbs blame for the system it helps administer. Source trail 0:00 We've discussed Transnational Capital, the British Empire. We've also discussed the Separatist Frankets. Today, we will put the two ideas together and show how the alliance between these two different forces have create... . If they were not available, Jiang says, another group would have served the same imperial function.

The hidden actor is transnational capital. It gets the profit, hides behind the scenes Lens point taboo-control-surface Modern scapegoating gives hidden power a face when an empire or capital structure keeps profit and control in shadow while a visible middle-manager group absorbs blame for the system it helps administer. Source trail 1:15 Something else I will show you today is that the empire, which is Transnational Capital, they get all the profit. They hide behind the scenes. They're the shadows. And they make all the money. And it's really the Jews g... , and leaves Jews with the blame. That is the episode’s first inversion: do not confuse the visible managerial layer with the shadow structure that owns the trade routes, banks, debt, and policy machinery.

The British Empire works because it controls sea lanes. The nightmare is a Eurasian heartland power able to link Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa by land and rail. If that happens, the sea empire loses its toll booth Source trail 2:12 So for the British Empire, the way they control the world, it's a very simple concept. As long as the British Empire is able to control the seaways, then it controls the world. So in the world, the great crisis, the gre... . So British strategy becomes chaos Source trail 3:14 So the greatest threat is a great power emerging from the heartland. And throughout history, that was either the French, the Ottoman Empire. The Germans, or the Russians. So the grand strategy of the British is to creat... : keep the French, Russians, Ottomans, Germans, and any future continental bloc fighting each other.

The operational repertoire is subterfuge: finance revolutionary movements, industrialize Japan as a Russian counterweight, build resource colonies, and steal fast from India, China, and Africa. For that work, Jiang says the Frankist networks were useful because they were diasporic, wealthy, crypto-Jewish, revolutionary, and animated by the idea that the world must be destroyed to be saved Source trail 6:21 They also discussed identity as Jews as well. So they were able, as a network, to conduct intelligence, do blackmail, and subvert governments. They also had access to a lot of transnational capital. They themselves were... .

The Ottoman case shows empire as finance before it is battlefield conquest. Britain and France help the Ottomans against Russia, but the help comes through loans. Interest overwhelms the system; foreign bankers establish tax administration; a third of revenue flows directly to creditors. Sovereignty is lost through accounting Source trail 8:269:33 And this was the Ottoman Empire at its height in 1683. Remember, in 1666 is when Sabrelai Zevi declared himself the Messiah. And remember that Sabrelai Zevi had to convert to Islam. And the people who followed him into...And so from now on, a third of all revenue, tax revenue, that the Ottoman Empire generated would go directly to the French and British bankers. And so this caused the Ottoman Empire to decline rapidly over time. And the... .

When the Sultan turns to Germany, the Donmeh or Sabbatean-Frankist layer becomes useful again: finance the Young Turks, push secularism, liberalism, and individualism, and turn modernity into a revolutionary solvent. The claim is not merely that Turkey changes regimes; it is that modernity travels as an imperial tool Source trail 10:41 The Young Turks believed in three things. They believed in secularism, no religion. They believed in liberalism. And they believed in individualism. Just basically the basic ideas of modernity. And eventually, the Young... .

The Rothschild Waterloo story gives the same model in miniature. Faster information creates panic; panic crashes assets; the insider buys the wreckage. War becomes a market Source trail 11:47 And this alliance goes back hundreds of years. And the Rothschild family is, of course, one of the most powerful banking families in the world. So there's a story of how they got rich. In 1815, Napoleon and the British... for those who know first and care least about national loyalty Source trail 11:47 And this alliance goes back hundreds of years. And the Rothschild family is, of course, one of the most powerful banking families in the world. So there's a story of how they got rich. In 1815, Napoleon and the British... .

The philosophical sequence is just as important. Locke’s blank slate, Hume’s skepticism, Bentham’s utility, and Mill’s liberalism move the world away from God, truth, and first principles. If truth cannot be reached, utility becomes the substitute god Lens point atlas-relation Reason becomes a replacement religion when a society claims to move beyond church and priest while preserving religion's truth-making, civil dogma, sacrifice, salvation, and mythic-action functions through reason, debate, progress, utility, revolution, nation, economics, science, materialism, or technocratic systems. Source trail 14:5215:54 So what he's saying is the very project of truth seeking, the very project of epistemonology, of philosophy, it's all nonsense. Not only that, but we don't really know things. All we do is remember things. Okay. So when...If it causes pleasure for the majority of people, then that policy must be good. If people want to eat candy all the time and makes them feel happy, then we should allow them to eat candy. And that is inherently good. O... . Policy becomes math for pleasure Source trail 15:54 If it causes pleasure for the majority of people, then that policy must be good. If people want to eat candy all the time and makes them feel happy, then we should allow them to eat candy. And that is inherently good. O... , and liberalism becomes the moral language of that calculation.

Darwin enters because the philosophy needs a science. Jiang’s objection is not that bodies cannot change; it is that Darwinism explains bodies while leaving the human imagination unexplained Source trail 18:04 All right. So this is very strange how science is supposed to be a field of rigorous debate, rigorous science. Right? But the evidence supporting evolution is limited. And again, we discuss this all the time, but it doe... . In this reading, that omission is not a detail. It is the mind-versus-matter fault line.

Then comes Benjamin Disraeli’s Coningsby. Jiang’s point is source mechanics Source trail 19:0920:1922:48 And the second person is Leonon de Rothschild, who is here to the Rothschild banking family. They're best friends. And you can argue the Rothschild banking family financed Benjamin Disraeli's banking career. Okay? And i...You say that Jews work together. They conspire together. You say that Jews think they're superior to everyone else. You are labeled as an anti -Semite. Okay? But, if you read this novel, and we'll read this novel togeth... : the shocking claims are not introduced as an anti-Semite’s pamphlet but as a novel by a Jewish elite who later becomes British prime minister, with Sidonia presented as a Rothschild-like figure. That does not make the claims true. It makes the source strange enough that Jiang wants it read rather than waved away Source trail 25:45 So guys, two -thirds of nobility in Spain were Christians. Crypto -Jews. Jews disguised as Catholics. Okay. All right. So again, I'm not saying this is true, but it's striking and really strange that a Jewish man, who i... .

The readings move through Christianity’s Jewish foundation, Spanish crypto-Jews, and the Inquisition as a surface institution hunting hidden Jews while, in the quoted story, hidden Jews occupy leadership. Jiang repeatedly marks the claim as something Disraeli is saying Source trail 24:2525:45 So even after the Christians reconquered Spain, and after some Jews converted to Catholicism, okay, first of all, these Jews kept their faith secret. So even though on the outside they were Catholics, in the inside, the...So guys, two -thirds of nobility in Spain were Christians. Crypto -Jews. Jews disguised as Catholics. Okay. All right. So again, I'm not saying this is true, but it's striking and really strange that a Jewish man, who i... , not something he can simply verify.

Sidonia’s world is cosmopolitan and stateless: information networks, war finance, migration to England, indifference to creed or country, and contact with agents and outcasts across Europe. Jiang contrasts this with Hegel, Homer, and Dante: great ideas do not float above a people Source trail 30:24 Okay, so this is a really important idea where, again, this is propaganda for Jews, right? So this really is saying how great Jews are. Jews are intellectual. But you know what, Hegel, Friedrich Hegel, will say is that,... . They grow out of belonging Source trail 30:24 Okay, so this is a really important idea where, again, this is propaganda for Jews, right? So this really is saying how great Jews are. Jews are intellectual. But you know what, Hegel, Friedrich Hegel, will say is that,... .

The sharpest Coningsby line is the hidden-governance claim: the world is governed by very different people Source trail 40:44 Connerspeak. This pleads the truth and my consent that we are then convinced by the same Docker safety that the world is governed by very different personage from those who are not behind the scenes. from those the public imagines. Jiang immediately adds the necessary brake: he does not think this is simply true Source trail 40:54 So it's Jews is which control the world because only Jews get along together. Okay? So if Jews didn't exist the world couldn't get along, right? And Jews hide everywhere. And that's how the world works, guys. You think... . But he says the Bolshevik Revolution is the place where the evidence becomes hard to ignore.

The revolution model has four parts: a leader, mass appeal, organizational discipline, and incompetent enemies Source trail 41:44 Why Disraeli is writing about this, we will discuss next class. But it's all part of a secret plan. But first, let's look at the evidence that this may be true. Again, I'm not saying this is true, but there is evidence... . Mao and Chiang Kai-shek are the quick example; Lenin and Trotsky are the Russian case. Lenin supplies fanatical focus Source trail 42:49 Mao Zedong was a charismatic leader with a very strong organization. And Chiang Kai -shek, even though he had a huge army, even though he had the American army, even though he had all sorts of benefits, he was a moron.... , Trotsky supplies charisma and networks, and the Bolsheviks win despite limited electoral support.

Red Terror is described as politics plus extraction. Kill opponents, terrorize families, seize hidden aristocratic wealth, hire mercenaries, and finance the war machine. The provocation is that revolutionary violence also has a balance sheet Source trail 44:4645:49 And at this time in history, remember, the Bolsheviks only control a certain part of Russia. They are the official government, but they only control a small part. And the White Army, which is a combination of the libera...So you either give me your money, or I will kill your daughter, and I will kill your son, and then I will kill your wife, okay? So it's your choice, give me all your money, or I'll kill everyone in your family. So the B... .

Jiang rejects the classroom story that Allied intervention proves capitalism opposed Bolshevism. In his reading, armies entered because debts had to be paid, and the Bolsheviks paid by looting Russia. Anglo-American foreign policy serves private capital, not national interest; capital cares about profit, not ideology Source trail 47:5448:56 what you're taught in history class is American Britain needs Russia in war against Germany, and that's why... And the Germans control the Bolsheviks, and that's why Britain and America would not support the Bolsheviks....We just have to do what we need in order to obtain power. Then we can create our socialist paradise. Okay? All right? All right. So this is a book called Wall Street and the Russian Revolution. It's started by a man by... .

The Richard Spence reading supplies the documentary frame: Wall Street pitchmen sell Bolshevik Russia as democratic, orderly, and good for business. War communism then reduces the economy to barter and robbery, with palaces, churches, museums, and bank vaults stripped and fenced abroad for hard currency. Empire destroys nations in order to buy the wreckage Source trail 51:4352:47 So keep on going. Keep on going. Yeah. From 1918 through early 1921, Bolshevik war communism reduced Russia to an economic based on barter and robbery. Besides the abolition of private trade and the destruction of the m...Okay? They destroy nations in order to steal as much as they can. What happens afterwards? They don't care. All right? It's that simple. All right. Okay. So after the Bolsheviks consolidate power, after they win civil w... .

Trotsky becomes the scapegoat inside the revolution Source trail 52:4753:52 Okay? They destroy nations in order to steal as much as they can. What happens afterwards? They don't care. All right? It's that simple. All right. Okay. So after the Bolsheviks consolidate power, after they win civil w...You Jews were planning this all along to steal everything from us and then screw us over in the end. Okay? And that's why Stalin won. All right. So let's go over the difference between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Le... . Jiang is careful here: Trotsky did not, in this telling, work for transnational capital. But once capital refuses to rebuild Russia, the accusation fits his Jewish identity, New York support, and aloof personality. Stalin can turn that suspicion into power.

Marx is introduced through Engels’s support and through the question of why capitalist money would support communism. Jiang’s answer is that communism benefits transnational capital by moving the debate. Instead of spirit versus flesh Source trail 1:01:50 So why would transnational capital support this idea? The reason why is that before the debate was mind versus matter, right? What matters more, the spirit or the flesh? And what Marx is saying is, no, what matters, the... , everyone argues about private property versus public property Source trail 1:01:50 So why would transnational capital support this idea? The reason why is that before the debate was mind versus matter, right? What matters more, the spirit or the flesh? And what Marx is saying is, no, what matters, the... . Either way, the frame is materialist.

The attractive Marx is still allowed to be attractive. Capitalism degrades individuality through specialization. In a humane world, the maker creates a vase, sees his personality objectified in it, gives it to another person, and sees his impact reflected back. The object becomes a mirror Source trail 57:4258:101:00:181:00:28 Supposing that we had produced in a human manner, in his production, each of us would have doubly affirmed himself and his fellow men. I would have objectified in my production my individuality and its peculiarity, and...Okay. So what you're saying here is that before, each of us were craftspeople, so I might make a vase, okay? And when I make a vase, then this vase is an expression of my individuality, an expression of my creativity, a... .

But that is the trick. Marx takes religious needs and routes them through matter. The object replaces God and community as the site where the self becomes real. Public property then becomes a material paradise, led by a vanguard elite. Jiang hears Jacob Frank in that structure: a new people leading everyone into paradise Source trail 1:02:561:04:13 But his problem is that he believes the solution is to make capital public. And as a result, this will create a worker's paradise. But there are problems with this, okay? So let's go over some of the problems. Okay, Mar...So all Marx is doing is, taking Jacob Frank's ideas and systemizing it. Now I'm not saying that Marx was a Frankist. He's probably not a Frankist. But what I'm saying is that there are people around him, like Frederick... .

Bakunin is the rescue. He agrees with much of the socialist critique but rejects the vanguard because it will become a new capitalist class. A socialist who does not trust everyone’s capacity for freedom has only rebuilt empire with a different flag Source trail 1:05:11 If you have a vanguard, they'll just become a new capitalist class, okay? What's the difference, man? If you are a vanguard, if you are a socialist, you have to believe in democracy. You have to believe that everyone ha... .

The crucial distinction is mirror versus mirror. Marx says the object reflects the self. Bakunin says the other free person reflects the self Lens point human-heart The heart confirms freedom through other free people when meaning, purpose, love, and dignity are found in mutual recognition rather than isolated self-analysis, objects, property, or inward self-display. Source trail 1:05:461:06:13 As for us, we want neither phantoms nor nothingness, but living human reality. And we recognize that man can feel free, be free, and therefore can achieve freedom. In order to be free, I need to see myself surrounded by...So this is really important, okay? This may seem the same as Marx, but they're saying different things. Marx says, no, the object is the reflection. And Buchanan is saying, no, no, no. The other person is the reflection... . Freedom is confirmed in the equally free consciousness of other people. Paradise comes through love Lens point human-heart The heart confirms freedom through other free people when meaning, purpose, love, and dignity are found in mutual recognition rather than isolated self-analysis, objects, property, or inward self-display. Source trail 1:07:27 How you create paradise is through love. Okay, do you understand? Not through objects, not through public property, not through socialism, but through love. Okay? The problem with Marx is, he focuses on the individual.... , not objects, public property, socialism, or inward self-display.

That is why scientific administration is not salvation. Bakunin warns that if science alone governs social life, life withers into a voiceless and servile herd Source trail 1:08:22 Available to everyone will be a general scientific education, especially the learning of the scientific method, the habit of correct thinking, the ability to generalize from facts and make more or less correct deduction... . Jiang reads Marxist vanguard rule, transnational capital, and British empire as the same slavery machine wearing different costumes Source trail 1:09:04 Okay, so what he's saying is this. The ultimate project of Marxism, where you have something elite, a vanguard in charge. This is no different, by the way, from Transnational Capital or the British Empire, okay? It woul... .

Early Freud is presented sympathetically. Women report anxiety, depression, relational fear, and sleeplessness; Freud’s early conclusion is that real childhood sexual trauma caused the symptoms Source trail 1:10:081:10:531:12:38 And then the woman would say, because when I was younger, when I was a little girl, my father raped me. Okay? Incest. That's why this happened to me. And then Freud's like, wow, that sounds really strange. But then he l...Above all, my previously communicated assumption that trauma, specifically sexual trauma, cannot be stressed enough as a pathogenic agent was confirmed anew. Even children of respected, high -minded puritanical families... . The readings from The Etiology of Hysteria emphasize sexual trauma, repeated patient testimony, dissociation, and details too subtle to dismiss as fantasy Source trail 1:15:471:16:07 In the second place, patients sometimes describe as harmless events whose significance they obviously do not understand, since they would be bound otherwise to be horrified by them. Or again, they mention details withou...Okay, so he says that one thing about this trauma is disassociation, okay? So these patients will reveal details that would shock anyone else, but she says it indifferently, which means that she was disassociated from t... .

The student question is useful because Jiang narrows the claim. Upper-class cases appear more often not because abuse only happens among the rich, but because rich families can send daughters to psychiatrists and educated women are more likely to report. The class signal is an access-to-reporting signal Source trail 1:18:201:18:31 So you mentioned that this kind of rape is frequently occurred in upper class. Why does it not so frequently in the lower class?You know what? That's a good question, okay? And the answer is, if you are an upper class woman, you're much more likely to report this than if you are from the lower class. So we're not saying that this occurs only amo... .

Then the reversal: Jiang says Freud allies with the Frankists and changes the theory. The abused girl becomes the fantasist Source trail 1:19:501:20:47 Namely, that the father seduced her in childhood. This is the later reworking which is designed to cover up the recollection of infantile sexual activity and represents an excuse and an extenuation thereof. The grain of...Okay, so now this is like really weird, okay? What he's saying is these young girls, these young boys, they want to have sex. They're like sexually obsessed. And whenever a father kisses them, which the father wants to... . The wound becomes masturbation, resentment, seduction fantasy, and the Oedipal complex. What Jiang calls complete nonsense becomes mainstream academic knowledge for decades Source trail 1:20:47 Okay, so now this is like really weird, okay? What he's saying is these young girls, these young boys, they want to have sex. They're like sexually obsessed. And whenever a father kisses them, which the father wants to... .

The next move is darker. Illness becomes a weapon for controlling family; dream analysis becomes mind control Source trail 1:23:181:24:211:24:57 So why is woman being hysterical later in life? Because it allows them to control people. It draws attention to them, they want attention, but it also makes people obey her whims. This is gaslighting. This is peer and o...I think everyone who occupies himself with dreams will recognize as a very common phenomenon the fact that a dream will give proof of the knowledge and a recollection of matters of which the dreamer in his waking state... because dreams are pliable enough for suggestion; psychology becomes gaslighting Source trail 1:23:18 So why is woman being hysterical later in life? Because it allows them to control people. It draws attention to them, they want attention, but it also makes people obey her whims. This is gaslighting. This is peer and o... . Freud is rewarded, protected by Britain, and systematized through Jung into a larger theory of mind.

The closing returns to Bakunin. The modern mind looks inward and learns nothing because meaning is not inside the isolated self Lens point human-heart The heart confirms freedom through other free people when meaning, purpose, love, and dignity are found in mutual recognition rather than isolated self-analysis, objects, property, or inward self-display. Source trail 1:25:55 of all this is, as Buchanan tells us, it's all self -directed inwards, which gets us nowhere, okay? It's just you looking into yourself. It's navel -gazing. And from that, you learn no truth at all. But that's the entir... . Meaning, purpose, love, and freedom are found in each other. That is why the final question is framed as speculation, not certainty: are Marxism, liberalism, individualism, Darwinism, and psychology psyops meant to turn people into slaves? Jiang says he does not know Source trail 1:27:01 I don't know the answer to that, okay? I'm just providing you with a theory. And these connections, we don't know how close they are, okay? It may just be random coincidence. It could be a constant fact. We don't know,... .
