The Antisemitic Imagination
The Great Establishment Deception
This book of social theory identifies two forms of antisemitism. The first form, which may apply with variations to any minority group, is the normal prejudice and bigotry that we all, to varying degrees, hold toward “the other.” Based upon combinations of suspicion, fear, envy and ignorance, this unpleasant but natural form of antisemitism is best reduced and in some cases dispelled by compassion, human interaction and love.
The second form is the antisemitic imagination and this involves the weaponizing of the first form by adding various conspiracy theories. This weaponization is usually conducted at various levels by an establishment, in the form of a government which may either directly or informally collude with establishment entities of business, media, academia, entertainment and finance. By exploiting antisemitic conspiracy theories, the establishment deflects attention away from its own agendas and its own malfeasance by pointing the unwitting populace toward the shiny object, the Jew.
The American establishment today has broadened this form of weaponization to include various minority categories of race, ethnicity, sex and sexuality as they criminalize normal bigotry to an absurdly minute level. This is leading us toward the informal form of tyranny that they conspire to impose.

The antisemitic imagination, by which socially negative and subversive agendas and activities are blamed on the Jews, most often have nothing to do with Judaism and do not even require the involvement of Jews. Having said this, there are plenty of Jews and Jewish groups that should be called out, not as Jewish per se, but as participants in socially negative agendas and forms of malfeasance.
An antisemitic imagination historically affected Christianity, Islam, and Judaism itself while an antisemitic imagination provided the ideological backbone for Communism, Nazism and Radical Islam. To varying degrees, by assigning various social ills to the Jews, the antisemitic imagination remains a useful and potent tool of the establishment today.
