The (I assume Jewish) author of
WSJ's "Wealth Report" takes the occasion of Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court to
inform anyone who hasn't been paying attention for the past 40 years that the "Protestant Establishment" is dead:
"The fact that we're going to zero Protestants in the court may not be as significant as the fact that her appointment perfectly reflects the decline of the Establishment, or the WASP Establishment, in America," said David Campbell, associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame.
Seen from the distance of time, the changes are stunning. In the 1960s, the vast majority of corporate managers were Protestant, according to E. Digby Baltzell's famous 1964 tome, "The Protestant Establishment."
The percentage of Protestants in Congress has dropped to 55% from 74% in 1961, according to Pew Forum. The corner offices of the top banks, once ruled by Rockefellers and Bakers, now include an Indian-American and the grandson of a Greek immigrant.
In old-money enclaves like Palm Beach, Fla., Nantucket, Mass., and Greenwich, Conn., WASPs are being priced out of their waterfront estates and displaced on their nonprofit boards by Jewish, Catholic and other non-Protestant entrepreneurs.
A survey by Pew Research found only 21% of mainline U.S. Protestants had income of $100,000 or more, compared with 46% of Jews and 42% of Hindus.
There's one dissenting voice (John J. McCloy's son):
"I think we're losing something fundamental with the Establishment," he said. "The Establishment was really about people who became leaders because they were confident and highly competent in their areas."
But the overall message is (1) it doesn't matter, and (2) "WASPs" brought it upon themselves by being "prejudiced" and lazy.
Rev. Mark S. Sisk, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, said the polarized landscape of religion today hasn't favored more moderate faiths like Episcopals. [. . .] He added, however, that tracking the ups and downs of socioreligious groups like WASPs was no longer relevant.
"That kind of calibration of 'what members of my team are on the front lines' seems to me to be an antique kind of thing to do," he said.
I was curious exactly whose team The Rt. Rev. Mark Sean Sisk was on. A few minutes of research confirms that he is, as his name suggests, of Irish ancestry, the son of a factory worker (per the 1930 Census) turned New Deal
bureaucrat:
ROBERT J SISK. 82 retired head of the financial reports and statistics section of the Federal Power Commission died of cancer Dec 15 at his home [. . .] Mr Sisk was born in Barnesboro Pa He moved to this area and went to work for the Federal Power Commission about 1935 He retired in 1970

So, how do you square the complete and utter defeat of the WASP Establishment at the hands of the Jews with all this stuff about Nordicism and the genetic superiority of old stock New Englanders? Surely these brave Nordics shouldn't be taking this lying down?
Drew Fraser calls it constitutional patriotism. Grant suggested it was sentimentality or altruism. Others suggest strong individualism; a WASP genetic trait. Whatever it is it was apparent to Grant a century ago; "As to what the future mixture will be it is evident that in large sections of the country the native American will entirely disappear."
The problem, of course, is that Jews are experts at undermining local gentile populations which is why it was foolish for the WASPs to ever let them into the country in the first place.
Whatever it is it was apparent to Grant a century ago
Actually, no. Grant never wrote of Jewish power as a threat, and neither did Stoddard. Then, as now, the people sounding the alarm were non-WASPs like Charles Lindbergh (Swedish) and Henry Ford (Dutch/Irish).
Lindbergh's ancestry was half British. Ford was an Episcopalian. Both were fully-assimilated Northern European Protestant Americans, belonging broadly to the group that would late be called "WASPs".
Grant: "it has taken us fifty years to learn that speaking English, wearing good clothes and going to school and to church do not transform a Negro into a white man. Nor was a Syrian or Egyptian freedman transformed into a Roman by wearing a toga and applauding his favorite gladiator in the amphitheatre. Americans will have a similar experience with the Polish Jew, whose dwarf stature, peculiar mentality and ruthless concentration on self-interest are being engrafted upon the stock of the nation."
"The result of unlimited immigration is showing plainly in the rapid decline in the birth rate of native Americans because the poorer classes of Colonial stock, where they still exist, will not bring children into the world to compete in the labor market with the Slovak, the Italian, the Syrian and the Jew. The native American is too proud to mix socially with them and is gradually withdrawing from the scene, abandoning to these aliens the land which he conquered and developed. The man of the old stock is being crowded out of many country districts by these foreigners just as he is to-day being literally driven off the streets of New York City by the swarms of Polish Jews. These immigrants adopt the language of the native American, they wear his clothes, they steal his name and they are beginning to take his women, but they seldom adopt his religion or understand his ideals and while he is being elbowed out of his own home the American looks calmly abroad and urges on others the suicidal ethics which are exterminating his own race."

I have read The Passing of the Great Race and am familiar with these passages. He clearly didn't like Jews, but he also didn't really see them for the threat that they were - to Grant, they were just another set of non-Nordic inferiors.
The fact that Grant wrote a book on America's racial problems and only devoted two sentences to Jews, only to basically lump them in with other European immigrants, reflects a dismal understanding of the situation on his part.
Indeed he saw them as a great threat.

A few quotes from Spiro (Patrician Racist):
"In truth, the Grantians had also considered repatriating the Jews, but Laughlin grumbled to Grant that the Jews had become so politically powerful that "the deportation of four million Jews would be many times more difficult that the repatriation of three times as many Negroes." The native American, sighed Laughlin, would have to resign himself to the fact that "the Jew is doubtless here to stay," and all the Grantians could do was try "to pre-vent more of them from coming." Charles Benedict Davenport did suggest to Grant, in jest, that as far as the Jewish problem was concerned, perhaps the eugenicists could follow the example of the Puritans who had burned their witches, but he added that "it seems to be against the mores to burn any considerable part of our population."
Sounds like a pretty clear warning to me: "Americans will have a similar experience with the Polish Jew, whose dwarf stature, peculiar mentality and ruthless concentration on self-interest are being engrafted upon the stock of the nation."
A 1933 letter from the director of the ADL:
Scribner & Sons have just published a book by Madison Grant entitled "The Conquest of a Cotinent." It is extremely antagonistic to Jewish interests. Emphasized throughout is the "Nordic superiority" theory, and the utter negation of any "melting pot" philosophy with regard to America. [. . .] The author insists that American development depends upon the elimination of unassimilable alien masses in our midst. This book is considered by some as even more destructive than Hitler's "Mein Kampf." Mr. Grant also avers that "national problems are in the end racial problems."
We are interested in stifling the sale of this book.
The people who think that WASPs are naturally less ethnocentric than all other white populations are absolutely retarded. All white Americans, regardless of ethnicity, have zero racial consciousness. And all Europeans are extremely suicidal as well.
If instead of WASPs we had some other European ethnic group as the elite in America the story would have still had the same ending. Our borders would have been flung open just like every single other white country. In fact, with a different elite it might have even happened sooner.
CULTURE-GENE COEVOLUTION OF INDIVIDUALISM-COLLECTIVISM AND THE SEROTONIN TRANSPORTER GENE,
http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/individualism_and_collectivism_from_china_to_the_british_isles/
indicates Wasps are most individualistic. How do you account for the fact Italy is 95% Italian and 98% European if in fact they are suicidal. "Italy: Possibly alone in this respect, bestows citizenship jure sanguinis. There is no limit of generations for the citizenship via blood". Poland: Polish 96.7%, German 0.4%, Byelorussian 0.1%, Ukrainian 0.1%, other 0.7%, unspecified 2.7% (Census 2002). Ireland's the same: Irish: 96.7% (including 0.5% Irish Traveller), Asian: 0.3%, Black: 1.1%, Other/Mixed: 0.1%, Not Stated: 1.7% (2006). This despite the fact the there is in the US an Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform.
http://www.irishlobbyusa.org/
Ireland like Poland, and unlike the US, practices jus sanguinis.
Ultimately, like the Jews, these European people have a homeland that preserves their ethnic interest. The founding American has no such homeland.
Sounds like a pretty clear warning to me
Grant devotes about as much attention to criticizing Syrians as he does to Jews in that book. Unless you really, really hate Steve Jobs, this is just not a reasonable way to allocate the blame for America's problems.
What about Jewish domination of the media, control of finance, manipulation of the government, etc.? This stuff was already apparent to more perceptive observers in 1916, but Grant mentioned none of it.
I suppose it's possible that Grant expressed stronger sentiments about Jews in private than he wrote in Passing of the Great Race, but still, any reader acquainted with modern day white nationalist writers like Kevin MacDonald who reads Grant and Stoddard will be immediately struck by the lack of any serious exploration of the Jewish issue.
MacDonald admits, in an exchange with Kaufman at Vdare that Jews had little power in early 20th century America.
"Kaufmann implies that Jews would have indeed attempted to institute the collapse of Anglo-America, “but in the case of blacks or Jews in the early 20th century, they had little power to do so.” This may have been true early in the 20th century (but see below). But in the case of Jews, it was certainly not true in the post-World War II era, which is when by all accounts WASP America collapsed."

Anon,
I don’t place any value in anything from Majority Rights. And no one random study should be taken extremely seriously (if it even means what you think it does – that “WASPs” are innately more individualistic).
Italy has received immigration and there are many in that country who want open borders. Many Eastern European countries are too poor for immigration – though Russia has received a lot of immigration. But all this is beside the point. Anyone can find exceptions to the rule. However, the fact remains that the vast majority of Western European nations are extremely liberal on race/immigration issues. And all white Americans, regardless of ethnicity, certainly have zero race consciousness. The only region of the country that might have some white identity is the South, which is mostly of British descent. Come to think of it, the antebellum and Jim Crow South had the highest rates of white racial consciousness in all of history. That fact alone seems very damning for any theory that British descended populations are significantly less ethnocentric than everyone else.
Russia will be a Muslim country:
“If demographic growth continues in the same way, by 2015 the majority of Russian army conscripts will be Muslims. Five years later 20% of all Russians will be Muslims. By mid-century, a majority of the Russian population will be Muslim.”
Ireland steps up as immigration leader
Ireland’s new face
“Given present trends, within about a century, Europe will cease to be a white, Christian continent.”
“By the year 2150, barring a major shift in either native European fertility rates or immigrant nationality, Europe will be a largely Muslim continent with whites and Christians as minorities composing less than 20 percent of the population.”

Thomas Jefferson, a Virginian, Southerner and slaveholder wrote,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Hardly an ethnocentric sentiment.

What do you all think, especially you n/a, of the fact that this country was heavily founded by Free Masons -- a group that strongly promotes trans-national ideology and, ultimately, one-world government along with the "Brotherhood of Man"??

Yes, they have taken over in America. There is nothing you can do against that.
Here are some excerpt from 'America's story' of Vivian Bernstein, edit. Steck-Vaughn.
This book is given for food to middle school kids in ESL.
This is about the Revolution war. Page 48, we learn about the actors of this war, in particular there is a long description of Haym Solomon's role. He was ' a jewish American who helped the Americans win'... 'H. S. worked hard and became rich....H.S gave most of his money to the american army' and this goes on and on. There is no mention of Lafayette, Rochambeau or De-Grasse at the battle of Yorktown. No mention that the french king almost bankrupted himself to finance the french forces in America, but we also learn that 'Five thousand African Ameericans fought against the British. They fought in every important battle..'
Since Washington regular troops maxed at about 12000, almost half of them were therefore AA. And this continues about Banneker who 'used maths and sciences to help plan the boundaries of the new capital..'
Any normal kid will conclude that j. and AA were basically key players in the revolution war. The emphasis of this school book is so grossly directed to legitimate the state of modern America that you would believe the teachers would see it. Not at all. In fact I've met an history teacher who mixed the above mentionated HS and A. Frank to explain WWII holocaust.
I suggest that americans beg for pardon to amerindians and ask them for advice. What the amerindians, in retrospect, think they should have done or no done.
Otherwise:
"... A few more moons, a few more winters, and not one of the descendants of the mighty hosts that once moved over this broad land or lived in happy homes, protected by the Great Spirit, will remain to mourn over the graves of a people once more powerful and hopeful than yours. But why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant, but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We will see" (from CHIEF SEATTLE'S 1854 ORATION)
Why so much pessimism? Two percent of our population will not rule us indefinitely. The first order of business should be to destroy the doctrine of political correctness. If we can talk openly about our problems and who is causing them, we can correct them. I would like to see a political candidate who would talk openly about the Jews and their agenda. The ADL can ruin or intimidate little people, but a major political figure could not be silenced so easily and his example would embolden others.
" I would like to see a political candidate who would talk openly "
It seems that's what Jimmy Carter had tried to do. He is now one of the most discredited, hated and bashed american president. JFK was not far behind, in terms of openness, but this didn't bring him luck. and Ron Paul was interrupted after 2 minutes of public speech by a lambda journalist who told him basically to shut up since his presidential candidacy was not seriously considered as relevant.
Jimmy Carter was a political has-been by the time he transgressed against the Jews. From my perspective it is unfortunate that he was not even more widely denounced. I am not saying that a politician can WIN by taking on the Jews--he can't--but he can not be vilified and denounced in the public media without someone quoting what he said. Even people who do not think much for themselves tend to recognize the truth when they hear it. That's all I want--freedom to speak the truth. We already have it on the internet. If it started happening in the broadcast media, who knows where it might lead.
This should certainly be of interest to people interested in “WASP” ethnocentrism. Professor Tatu Vanhanen states the following in his book Ethnic Conflicts Explained by Ethnic Nepotism:
“Our behavioral predisposition to ethnic nepotism evolved in the struggle for existence because it was rational and useful. It is reasonable to assume that ethnic nepotism is equally shared by all human populations. Consequently, all human populations and ethnic groups have an approximately equal tendency to resort to ethnic nepotism in interest conflicts. It explains the otherwise strange fact that ethnic interest conflicts appear in so many countries where people belong to clearly different ethnic groups, and that ethnic interest conflicts have emerged within all cultural regions and at all levels of socioeconomic development. It would be difficult to imagine any cultural explanation of ethnic conflicts that could explain the appearance of these conflicts across all cultural boundaries.”
“ethnic nepotism leads to ethnic interest conflicts in all societies independently from their level of socioeconomic development or from the degree of democracy because all human populations share the same behavioral predisposition to ethnic nepotism.”

I do think elements of enlightenment universalism present from the founding of the country probably contributed to its ultimate racial decline (certainly, if we're pointing fingers, it makes more sense to point at the values imported from enlightenment Europe than those carried over from 17th-century Puritans).
Thomas Jefferson, a Virginian, Southerner and slaveholder wrote,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Jefferson also wrote this:
"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation and deportation peaceably and in such slow degree as that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their place be pari passu filled up by free white laborers. If on the contrary it is left to force itself on, human nature must shudder at the prospect held up. We should in vain look for an example in the Spanish deportation or deletion of the Moors. This precedent would fall far short of our case."
In a letter to James Monroe, Jefferson proposed deporting blacks to Haiti.
