Since I’ve been arguing against the idea – somewhat popularized by the best-selling ‘Europa: The Last Battle’ – that Stalin was of jewish ancestry (1) I’ve addressed quite a few different myths and/or bad arguments as to this claim such as the claim he spoke Yiddish, (2) the Weisman
Good piece. Have argued with people on this same point many times. I understand the motive to want to make Stalin Jewish in order to simplify the point that Jews created and ran the USSR slave state through mass murder and misery, but we need to be okay with Stalin not being Jewish not contradicting that. Stalin was a frontman for the Jews, just as many frontmen that came before him, for Jews that try to hide the Jewish character of their projects to avoid blowback and to deceptively make their Jew projects look organic to the native population for easier acceptance and less resistance. Stalin was utter scum, a bank robber, a mass murderer, chinky-eyed Asiatic filth, but not a Jew. Nor was Churchill Jewish himself, despite likewise being a Jew frontman.
Excellent observation and comment, and I agree with you, Karl, that it is not necessary to claim or prove that Dzhugashvili (aka Stalin) was a jew.
There is no more complete scholar on Russian history (ancient, medieval and modern) and literature than Matthew Raphael Johnson (MRJ), who has repeatedly stated that there is no proof that Stalin was a jew. If he thought so, he would state it.

Joszif Visszarionovics Dzsugasvili. His name in Georgian means "son of the Jew." By the way, at that time, no one who was not of Jewish origin could hold a position in the Soviet Union... Even his parents could have been Christians based on their religion, but origin mattered in the Bolshevik party...
It doesn't mean 'Son of Jew'. Jew in Georgian is 'Ebraeli' or 'Uriya' not 'Djuga' which means either herd or iron. I prefer 'iron' because it makes sense of 'Stalin' 'Man of Steel'.
The name claim has been addressed repeatedly and it is made up nonsense.
Yes. The fact that he came from a poor peasant family means nothing, because Jews had to work to make a living before the revolution. Not all of them were rich, or merchants, etc. And even among those of Jewish origin there were Christians. However, he certainly would not have been a functionary in the party leadership if he had not been of kosher origin... He would have been killed...
It's provably false that a non-Jew couldn't be "a functionary in the party leadership". About 15% of the early Soviet govt. were non-Jews. Lenin was only 1/4 Jew. Jews do use frontmen to hide that Jews are behind a particular criminal movement. As for "he would have been killed," not as long as he did what the Jews told him to. And in fact he likely WAS killed by them, when he suspected Jews of plotting to remove him and began talking privately about purging the Jews entirely. Stalin was chinky-eyed Asiatic scum and a mass murderer, but not a Jew.
Stalin didn't establish punishment of antisemitism by death. It was Lenin in 1918 who decreed that anti-Semitism was "counterrevolutionary", and thus a crime against the state that could warrant execution. Neither of Stalin's two wives were Jews. The first one was Georgian, like himself, and died well before the revolution. The second was Russian. Here she is, not Jewish:
Communism was created by Jews. The USSR was created by Jews, and run by Jews, in the early decades. Those are provable. There's no need to make the frontman Stalin a Jew, or to incur the lack of credibility caused by evoking such a false claim. Just as Churchill was run by Jews and England's WW2 policies were run by Jews. There's no need to make Churchill a Jew himself in order to argue that.

Hi Karl, I've just signed up as a paid member. I'm looking forward to catching up on your articles.
You mentioned last year on twitter that you'd been asked to help remake Europa: The Last Battle with corrections. Is that still on the cards?
Hi Mel.
Thank you for your generosity. It isn't expected but is appreciated.
Yes it very much is. Release of Europa 2.0 is due this year with corrected and new material.
That's great to hear, Karl!
You're welcome. Thanks for providing such valuable information.
I'm curious to know what languages you speak. I imagine German would be one. I started learning it recently. I'm feeling inspired.

His name means village jew!
He was a fucking psychopath like the rest of them! I really don’t care if his mother was a fucking tampon wearing zebra!
