Analyzing the Rosenthal Document
Recently wrote an article about the back story behind the sensational claims by one Harold Russell Rosenthal and which were published by a man named Walter White Jr. (1) The transcript published by White and structured as an excerpt from an interview is better known as the Rosenthal document. In the analysis already mentioned I argued that going by the claims about the origin of the document made by White - in addition to his subsequent behaviour when asked for the original audio recordings - suggested that it was fraudulent.
To further demonstrate this I will reproduce and analyse a few of the comments that White claims Rosenthal made to him. For example:
'Anti-Semitism does not signify opposition to Semitism. There is no such thing. It is an expression we Jews use effectively as a smear word – used to brand as a bigot like you guys – anyone who brings criticism against Jews.' (2)
This is a vaguely plausible statement. Something along these lines has been stated in the past by jews, but most famously by former Israeli minister Shulamit Aloni.
However we should bear in mind that when this is said in documented instances. It is added with the qualifier that anti-Semitism is real, but that jews use that real phenomenon to attack non-Semitic critics by painting them with the same brush as anti-Semitic ones.
The lack of any kind of qualifier and the obvious implication – which White promptly draws – that anti-Semitism doesn't actually exist. Per force suggests that someone frequently branded as an anti-Semite wrote this piece of text rather than a jew. This is due to the fact that it necessarily claims that no criticism of jews is actually anti-Semitic, but that anti-Semitism is a jewish trick to marginalize all opponents.
White himself claims in a footnote that 'Anti-Semitism is a recent creation of the jews', (3) which is absolute nonsense and exhibits strong confirmation bias.
Therefore it seems likely it wasn't written by Rosenthal, but rather by White.
Next we find Rosenthal recorded as stating:
'During Christ's time, the Jews were seeking a material and earthly kingdom but Christ offered the Jews a spiritual kingdom. This, they couldn't buy, so they rejected Jesus Christ and had him crucified.' (4)
This sentence was obviously written by a devout Christian and not by a jew. Since it echoes the core postulate of Christianity on Jesus' status as the long-awaited Messiah of the jews. It concedes everything to Jesus and Christianity without any reference to jewish commentary on the matter, which incidentally claims Jesus was a false Messiah and the son of a prostitute and a Roman soldier.
We can see this 'Christian pretending to be jew' narrative peep out again when White claims that Rosenthal asserted, among other things, that:
'The Jews who drove the Arabs out of Palestine did so to disprove Christ's mission for a spiritual kingdom.' (5)
This again is clearly something a Christian and not a jew would say. After all why would the jews need or seek to 'disprove Christ's mission' if they disbelieved in Christ to begin with?
Nor is it clear what period Rosenthal is talking about. Is it one of the jewish revolts against the Romans or the ethnic cleansing conducted by jews against Arabs in the late 1940s?
Weirdly Rosenthal also claims that the Israeli government in Tel Aviv ruled over the Soviet Union.
To wit:
'Russian Communists have a Secret Order Group which consists of Jews only. They rule over everything pertaining to the visible government. It was this powerful organization that was responsible for the secret removal of the center of Communism to Tel Aviv from where all instructions now originate.' (6)
How anyone could believe a jew said that I really don't know.
Although I suppose Rosenthal could have had he been satirizing White, but yet it is just absolutely lurid and the sort of thing you'd find in the works of William Guy Carr.
It just isn't very plausible let alone remotely believable.
Similar can be found in the next statement of Rosenthal, which claims that:
'The United Nations is nothing but a trap-door to the Red World's immense concentration camp. We pretty much control the U.N.' (7)
Not only is this untrue. It also smacks of 1950s/1960s anti-communist hysteria, which – although not unfounded – was overly bombastic about the future as envisioned by the 'international Communist conspiracy'.
Much as this claim is.
Basically Rosenthal is claiming that the jews control the U.N. – unlikely given how much the U.N. criticizes Israel – and the Soviet Union, which has long since collapsed.
Another lurid claim is then made by Rosenthal in regards to the future.
To wit:
'There will be a forced class warfare here in the United States and many will be liquidated. You will unquestionably be among them. The Jews will not be harmed. I'm not boasting! I'm giving you the facts! And it is too late for your Christian followers to put up a defense. That time is long past.' (8)
Why on earth would Rosenthal say such a bizarre and openly genocidal thing even if he had been paid a little money to openly talk to White?
The amateur dramatics in the quote ('I'm not boasting! I'm giving you the facts!') don't help either as they are completely unnecessary to make Rosenthal's point. As well as suggest that it isn't 'a member of the conspiracy' doing the talking (Rosenthal), but rather a believer that such a conspiracy exists (White).
Also note once against the very specific focus on Christianity in the quote (suggesting that the author of the words is a Christian themselves) as well as the implied 'call to arms' (i.e., 'And it is too late for you to Christians to put a defence') made by Rosenthal.
This all smacks of Rosenthal's words being written by a devout Christian and one who believed that a 'call to arms' to other devout Christians was necessary.
In other words: Walter J. White.
As originally stated I didn't want to cover everything White wrote in 'The Hidden Tyranny' as it is just more of the same. I just wanted to briefly show the sheer craziness of the text itself in addition to the rather dubious back story.
There is just no way White derived this from a jew as it sounds rather too much like a Christian conspiracy theorist's wet dream rather than the discourse of an educated jew who had the cultivated ability to dissimulate as a successful political aide/conspirator would.
In other words: the Rosenthal document is extremely likely to be fraudulent from beginning to end.
