Is George Farmer Jewish?
George Farmer – husband of black conservative commentator Candace Owens, former CEO of Parler and convert to Roman Catholicism from Protestantism – (1) has recently been accused of being jewish.
This was made on the basis of ChatGPT’s claim and popularized by my friend Ian Malcolm on X where ChatGPT stated:
‘Yes, George Farmer is ethnically Jewish. He was born to a Jewish family in London, England.’ (2)
Naturally this surprised me, and I decided to investigate the evidence available that could cause that claim to be made by ChatGPT.
The evidence suggests that ChatGPT is wrong.
George Farmer’s father is Lord Michael Farmer who is a base metals trader who co-founded the ‘Red Kite’ hedge fund as well as also being a major long-term donor to the British Conservative party. (3)
Lord Michael Farmer was the son of David Farmer – also a metals trader – and Eleanor Best. Both of whom were alcoholics and lived in Bray, Berkshire although they were originally from Maidstone, Kent. (4)
After his father’s death Farmer followed him into metals trading (5) and heading up the jewish-owned and run Phibro Salomon Brothers’ Metal Trading division in the late 1980s. (6)
Lord Michael Farmer is seeming primarily focused on promoting Brexit and also pro-family politics with little to no mention of Israel or jews on his personal website, (7) but he is the Christian Deputy Chair of the ‘Council for Christians and Jews’. (8)
The ‘Council for Christians and Jews’ is very pro-Israeli and pro-jewish as well as linked to the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the ultra-Zionist ‘Jewish Leadership Council’ (9) but considering this only released a very muted and almost noncommittal statement on 7th October 2023 and little mention since. (10)
Lord Michael Farmer echoes this on his Twitter and doesn’t seem unduly preoccupied with the current Hamas-Israeli war in the Gaza Strip. (11)
Thus, we can see there is no evidence that Farmer is actually jewish and while he is certainly pro-Israel and pro-jewish his focus is his Christianity not jews.
But what of George Farmer’s mother?
Could she be jewish?
The answer is that Farmer’s mother is Lady Jenny Dorothy Rochefort Farmer and like her husband Lord Michael Farmer; an ardent Christian from what evidence there is. (12)
There is no evidence that she is jewish and her maiden name – which appears to be Rochefort – is French and not one linked to jews in any particular way.
Thus, we must conclude that ChatGPT is completely wrong and that there is no evidence that George Farmer is jewish.
