What's the Jewish Word for "Reputation?"
(answer inside)
Antisemitism
Rep. Josh Gottheimer is a Jewish Democrat currently in his fourth term representing New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District, which caps the northern end of the state. He has introduced 21 bills or resolutions so far in the 118th Congress—the latest, “Denouncing the rise of Islamophobia and antisemitism across the country,”1 H.Res. 1114, on Friday. I spent a summer once in NJ-05, on the New Jersey half of Greenwood Lake. I’m pretty sure the people who live around there would agree that H.Res. 1114 has no relevance to their best interests.
While the title of his latest resolution includes the word, “Islamophobia,” it is antisemitic hate that serves as Representative Gottheimer’s primary focus. The resolution he introduced on Friday is the 17th bill or resolution he’s sponsored or cosponsored so far in this Congress condemning, combating, denouncing, or otherwise concerning that special kind of hate only Jews can feel.
Rep. Gottheimer’s constituents might justifiably wonder why their representative in Congress didn’t think denouncing antisemitism 16 times in one Congress was enough. Rep. Gottheimer would no doubt point out that this time he’s denouncing Islamophobia, too. “Look,” he can say, “in the resolution I give three examples of hate victims—two Palestinian, the six-year-old Palestinian boy murdered in Illinois recently and the three Palestinian college students shot in Vermont a while back, and one Jewish, a 69-year-old Jew who died after a scuffle at a pro-Israel rally in California. Clearly, the main purpose of this bill is to denounce Islamophobic hate.”
But, while the resolution claims to be denouncing both antisemitism and Islamophobia, the actual remedies called for in the resolution only benefit Jews. The resolution 1) calls for more federal money to be spent on providing armed security at houses of worship (which, as far as I know, are always synagogues),2 and 2) calls for more censorship (and this is the true purpose of the resolution): “[S]ocial media companies and executives must do more to counter and limit the propaganda and violent rhetoric expressed across their platforms…” reads the text of the bill, continuing clumsily, because “stereotypical tropes and rhetoric are spewed on forms of social media, especially TikTok, which fuels sentiments of hate that result in violence…”
That last bit is what Rep. Gottheimer’s resolution is really about—taking out TikTok. By filing this resolution, Rep. Gottheimer adds to the clamor in Congress against the company. His concern over Islamophobia is window dressing.
And what does a Jewish member of Congress have against a Chinese video-sharing platform?
TikTok is the major source for Americans of free uncensored information about what the Zionists are doing to the Palestinians in Palestine. Unlike the New York Times’ absurd stories about “Hamas terrorists” playing hacky-sack with severed Israeli breasts or Ben Shapiro’s nasal screeching about 40 beheaded babies, TikTok videos just show what the Jews are actually doing to the Muslims and Christians in Gaza. No filters. No spin. No censorship. It’s video evidence that Aaron Bushnell was telling the truth when he said there was a genocide going on in Gaza—a genocide in which we are complicit. The reason Rep. Gottheimer wants to shut TikTok down is because normal humans in the United States are learning the truth about Gaza from videos uploaded to TikTok by other normal humans in Gaza and Israel.
In the world of Zionist supremacy, truth is antisemitic.
TikTok provides hope for the Palestinians that, by letting us Americans see what absolute evil is being done with our help in Gaza, our better natures will come to the fore. Palestinians hope that public outcry will force Congress to stop enabling their genocide—hope that the US will stop making their murderers invincible. This is anathema to Rep. Gottheimer. And because he wants the slaughter of the Palestinians to continue, he wants the ignorance of the Americans who are paying for it to continue as well. That’s why he attacked TikTok. And he did it in a particularly loathsome way.
Rep. Gottheimer cynically exploited the murder of a six-year-old Palestinian boy to disguise the true purpose of a bill that would extinguish the hope of the murdered boy’s people that they won’t themselves be murdered. This Jewish member of Congress used the murder in Illinois of a six-year-old American boy of Palestinian descent to help the Jews in Israel continue their appalling slaughter of the Palestinians—to continue to murder many thousands of Palestinian boys and girls.
Now, that’s one ugly human being, right there.
US money for Israel
Rep. Gottheimer wants Americans to remain ignorant of what Jews are doing to Muslims and Christians in Gaza so that we’ll continue paying for YHWH’s wanton blood lust. How much does genocide cost? In his bill, H.R. 7493, Strategic Humanitarian Investments to Ensure Lasting Democracies (SHIELD) Act, Rep. Gottheimer provides funding for Israel’s war on the Palestinians, for the Jewish war in Ukraine, and for the “Indo-Pacific” region (meaning, I guess, Taiwan?), with the lion’s share set aside for “the situation” in Israel (this is on top of what is already being spent).
for the State Department’s diplomatic programs [$210,000,000]
for the State Department’s Office of Inspector General [$12,000,000]
operating expenses for USAID, the US Agency for International Development [$39,000,000]
plus more for USAID [$13,000,000]
International Disaster Assistance for “humanitarian needs in response to the situations in Israel and Ukraine, including the provision of emergency food and shelter, and for assistance for other vulnerable populations and communities” (it would be interesting to see what qualifies as a “vulnerable community”) [$5,655,000,000]
Economic Support Fund to prevent and respond to food insecurity (meanwhile, there is actual food insecurity in the United States) [$50,000,000]
Migration and Refugee Assistance to address humanitarian needs and assist refugees in response to the situations in Israel and Ukraine and for assistance for other vulnerable populations and communities (is this who is paying for those huge caravans of military-aged men who’ve been arriving at the southern border ever since “the most Jewish administration in US history” took power in 2020?) [$3,495,000,000]3
Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs [$100,000,000]
Peacekeeping Operations in the Sinai [$10,000,000]
Foreign Military Financing (d) Israel. Of the funds appropriated by this Act under the heading “Foreign Military Financing Program”, not less than $3,300,000,000 shall be available for grants only for Israel which shall be disbursed within 30 days of enactment of this Act: Provided, That to the extent that the Government of Israel requests that funds be used for such purposes, grants made available for Israel under this heading shall, as agreed by the United States and Israel, be available for advanced weapons systems, of which not less than $725,300,000 shall be available for the procurement in Israel of defense articles and defense services, including research and development. [$7,100,000,000]4
Federal Emergency Management Agency--Operations and Support or necessary expenses related to the administration of nonprofit security grants [$10,000,000]
Federal Emergency Management Agency--”for eligible nonprofit organizations to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism or other threats” including federal assistance to help these nonprofits apply for grants [$390,000,000]5
The total amount for this one bill alone comes to $17,084,000,000 all of it to be declared “emergency funds” to get around debt ceiling rules. Is this serving the interest of the people who live in West Milford, New Jersey?
I have a lot more written about this guy, Josh Gottheimer, but it’s too much to put into one post. So, I’m posting this now and will follow with more in the next day or two.
Finally, here are four good reasons to subscribe and recommend Odysseus Unsheathed to others:
Subscribers are notified when Anna Cordelia posts new episodes of Serge Melgunov’s The Red Terror in Russia 1917-1923. It is impossible to have a true idea of the present without some true idea of the past. If, like almost all Americans, your knowledge of history is limited to what you were taught in school and what you’ve gleaned from movies and TV programs, you are ignorant af, to put it in the most positive light. The best way to study history is to read what people who were alive at the time the events they are describing occurred. Listening to Anna’s very ably rendered treatment of The Red Terror in Russia is listening to an eyewitness account of perhaps the most horrific—and, for us, significant—episode in human history;
In Henry Ford’s International Jew, the writer quotes the Twelfth Protocol: “We have attained this at the present time to the extent that all news is received through several agencies in which it is centralized from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be to all intents and purposes our own institutions and will publish only that which we permit.” And, from the Seventh Protocol, “We must force the Gentile governments to adopt measures which will promote our broadly conceived plan, already approaching its triumphant goal, by bringing to bear the pressure of stimulated public opinion, which has been organized by us with the help of the so-called 'great power' of the press. With a few exceptions not worth considering, it is already in our hands.” This was written in August, 1920. Let’s say this is an accurate description of our world one hundred and four years later…and technology has enabled the “few exceptions” to be very much worth noticing. And let’s say that they have been noticed and that we can see the effect in the attacks on TikTok and, even, on Substack. In that case, there is no way to know how long these exceptions will be able to flourish. So, now is the time to take full advantage of the opportunity presented—an opportunity our ancestors (and the unfortunate Russians) never had. Subscribe below and refer us to others;
In no other publication on Substack can you find the punchline to a joke contained in the very first word of an article;

A permanent attribute of antisemitism is that it is always on the rise. In the United States, antisemitism has been reported rising for a truly astounding 133 years in a row.
Did you know you pay for uniformed city cops to stand in front of some synagogues whenever an event is being held? I am unaware of any churches or mosques that demand or receive such protection. Everybody else in the world, from the local dance club to the massive sports stadiums to the shops downtown all hire private security firms to provide security if, in their view, such is necessary. The synagogues’ is provided at public expense.
“Provided, That of the funds appropriated under this heading, $5,000,000 shall be made available for refugees resettling in Israel.” (Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, H.R.2882)
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, H.R.2882 N.B.: purchased in Israel, “including research and development.” In other words, we are paying Israel to develop “advanced weapons systems”and we don’t even know what the hell we are paying for. They could be developing anything—biological weapons, WMD, methods of bringing down 110-story skyscrapers at free-fall speed into their own footprints, who knows? “Our” laughably irresponsible Congress certainly doesn’t and, somehow, I don’t have much confidence the watchdogs of democracy at the New York Times are digging very deep into this particular area.
Nonprofit Security Grant Program under section 2009 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 609a) for eligible nonprofit organizations to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism or other threats: Provided, That the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall make programmatic adjustments as necessary to expedite the disbursement of, and provide flexibility in the use of, amounts made available under this heading in this Act
"The total amount for this one bill alone comes to $17,084,000,000..."
The $17 billion + price tag is completely mind-blowing. But as I learn more about how Jews have historically accrued power, it is also completely par for the course.
Jews have this long-standing pattern of claiming to be the victims of some kind of atrocity - real or imagined. In the case of the "real" atrocities, they are invariably widely exaggerated and at minimum, the story is told completely out of context... as in, they don't breathe a word about whatever led their "oppressors" to rise up against them.
But it doesn't stop there. The next step (and possibly this is the whole point of the exercise) is to use said "atrocity" for fund-raising purposes.
This traditionally meant appealing to regular Jews to empty their pockets, such as when international "Jewish Appeals" went out after reports of supposed "pogroms" in late 19th/early 20th century Russia.
But the sharks in the Jewish camp have honed their techniques in modern times. The smaller sharks have perfected the art of picking the individual pockets of Christian Zionists', while the bigger sharks leverage the ever-more lucrative tax base like Rep. Josh Gottheimer is doing... effectively emptying everyone's pockets.
Cha-ching, cha-ching. There seems to be no such thing as "enough" for these predators. They will pick our carcasses clean unless we learn to recognize what they are doing and call them out on their BS.
