"Jews totally run Hollywood."

Posted by on Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 11:25 AM

Straight from the moist maw of Pastor Rick Warren?

Nope—from Joel Stein at the LA Times:

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

Read the rest and the occasionally flipped-out comments—"this article will only spur the haters onward until they once again try to dispose of the ten million"—here.

I like Jews because none of my Jewish friends have ever tried to get me to join their religion.

Joel Stein's funny 73% of the time. I liked his line about pro-Jewish surgery.

I guess the real question is, who the fuck cares if Jews run Hollywood?

yeah, why the slog obsession with the jews? 0.1% of humanity. We don't even live in New York. How bout some slogs about some other ethnics?

And the Catholics control the Ratings board as well as the MPAA, which controls copyright. Protestants overwhelmingly control the box-office receipts and very strongly influence patterns of distribution (cf Wal-mart).

"The Jews run Hollywood" is the cry of any jackass who wants his faith to get a foot in the door. The Catholic League of Decency rallied its troops under it, and now, as the MPAA, have the corner on suing sixteen-year-olds for their "cut" on a pirated R-rated softcore movie.

The Jews run Hollywood because they make better movies and market them better. Moralizing is also quite lucrative--as the League/MPAA have shown, and that's why gossip-mongering stargazers like Stein have columns in the first place.

Please don't quote Stein ever again. Even the Stranger is better than that.

Strangely, there's no place to get a good knish on the West Coast (the real square kind with the thick shell, not the round ones with the flakey crust).

Hollywood leftist continue to propagate anti-Americanism in the filth they peddle every day. No wonder the Muslims want to destroy us.

Being Jewish has nothing to do with this. Being America hating left wing scum does.

The same America hating left wing scum that elected Barack Hussein Obama.

I guess it all depends on what you mean by "run". Last I checked, Sony's CEO was named
Howard Stringer (Sony owns Columbia/Tristar as well as Sony Pictures), Viacom (who owns Paramount, Dreamworks and bunch of others) was run by a guy named Philippe P. Dauman, and the CEO of General Electric (owner of NBC/Universal) was named Jeffery R. Immelt. None of those gentlemen, I believe, are fellow tribesmen.

So it might be a bit more accurate to say, "Jews are Hollywood's middle managers."

And yet you continue to go to their movies, Basil. Someone should arrest you for aiding the enemy. Do you mouth the words of "Taxi Driver" to yourself before you post here: Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?

Is it even news anymore when a dickheaded cult leader picks on a different dickheaded cult? The world's filled with dickheads. Let's just be happy when they're being dickish to one another.

Why on earth should we be concerned with this? His distaste for homosexuality, after all, came right out of the Torah. It's not like Christians wrote Leviticus.

@2 & Brendan,
I couldn't agree with you more. When I view and enjoy a film, I am glad someone had the talent and resources to make it. When I chanced upon discovering that Hollywood directors for example, William Wyler, George Cukor and Otto Preminger were Jewish, I thought "bully for them!". Such film masterpieces like "Dodsworth", "The Women" and "Anatomy of a Murder" which they directed respectively, are examples of their great art. I ask "Who cares?" Just keep up the great work.

Not to mention Disney is run a John E. Pepper, Jr. and Fox is controlled by some guy named Rupert Murdoch.

Hm -- I think my main issue is that the vocabulary is misleading. A whole bunch of people who are Jewish run Hollywood, not "the Jews". I refuse to take responsibility for the majority of that shit.

The film business is really just a form of high-risk investing. So is it any wonder... The less risky a film is the more likely it is to be made by gentiles (e.g. low budget films in established genres with reliable audiences).
One reason Jewish dominance isn't the case in European cinema is that they shy away from the high-profile group-think herd-viewed flims that require big budgets, mega marketing, and the same four stars-du-jour. The other reason is of course genocide.

Nice post about the old canard of Jews running Hollywood! Thank goodness ADL has rid America of that myth.

As a Jew I don't really like living in Seattle. I love the money I make at my software job, but miss New York. Oh well... At least their is apostate Catholic Dan Savage and all the wonderful Jewish writers at The Stranger to bring some culture to the backwater that is Seattle.

My Jewish meditation today is the letter Hey (hei, heh, etc): At base the unityBeing is ‘the breath of life’. An emanative and pancreative gesture of all adoring communion between the Garden across the Veil and our universe of ‘manifestation being’.

I think as Jews we must return to our study and follow Orthodox Jewish artists like Sacha Baron Cohen back to our tribal birthright.

Christians are all idiots and child molestors. Check out Chabad Calendar for your daily Torah reading!

I don't think anybody should be that surprised by this "news." And I don't see anything sinister about it either. As long as the Mormon's don't control Hollywood, and the Jews can keep the Scientologists from world domination I say fine, with the caveat that I wish we would see more positive images of Muslims in pictures and in television.

Since being in the home I have met several nurses who ae Muslims and they are really great people. Unlike the Christians, but like the Jews, Muslims don't try to convert people into their beliefs.

In regards to the post about jews not trying to convert people. It's almost the opposite... they're often inclusive and xenophobic. Sometimes even when someone converts to Judaism, the jews still don't accept them.

Weird. I wonder why jews are like that but mormons aren't?

this is why so many goys rush to scientology, the only other religion that can hope to compete against the chosen people.

People who don't care if you join their religion or not don't really give a shit about you, or their religion, or both.

Dr., I can't quite tell if you were deliberately being ironic when you noted this. I don't know about the other guys you mentioned, but Howard Stringer is Jewish.

@20, @24 Jews don't try to convert people because it's a *tribal* religion. It's not called The Tribe for nothing. It's not our fault that we happened to spawn two major world religions out of our little one.

It's jewish queers that run Hollywood. Talent doesn't matter to make it in LA, you just need to suck off many a jew cock and you'll make it. I like how people are so offended and the line about jews making better movies, have you seen the shit coming out of Hollywood? You really wanna take credit for that?

@30

My dear Sir:

The operative idea is to make movies that *sell*; 'credit' in this case is measured in box office receipts. The American consumer determines what he watches, and therefore also what sells. Besides, there have to be a lot of stinkers to support the artistic visions, which cost a lot and have fewer returns. You're one of those people who call movies "films" aren't you?

Movies, rock 'n' roll, the blues, fiction, poetry, and public school lunch menus—the Jews have had a hand in making everything about American culture.

Jews also run the Federal Reserve, a private secret bank that is owned by foreign powers. Hollywood runs our morals, (homosexuality, child abuse, women abuse, war, murder, pro Israel, pro zionist, anti arab, pro Iraq war, pro dead Christians and Muslims to profit Jews). The Federal Reserve Bank runs our money. All five Board of Governors are Jewish, Greenspan is Jewish, Beranke is Jewish. The Fed debases our currency, subsidizes unlimited taxes with unlimited debt, and has sold American children into debt slavery with a Ten Trillion dollar debt. Israel, the Jewish state, takes more money, per capita, from America than any nation on Earth. Americans are dying for Jews in Iraq. Your work all year for Jewish banks, to go to Jewish movies, to pay taxes to Israeli Jews. Get it? If white male Christians did this we would have quotas to exclude them from college and jobs. By the way, Jews graduate 68% of their children from college. White Christians are only 29%. If you want to spend your life working for Jews, taxed by Jews, then do nothing. If not, get Hebrew affirmative action and use rule of law, which Jews have been geniuses at destroying to benefit Jews and not Christians. By the way, When I was a kid we had Christmas and love in public school. Now there is Hannukah and hate. Jews are ethnically cleansing America and Palestine to rule. Eighty per cent of all Jews in the world live in Israel (subsidized by America) and America (largest economy in the world). I care that Jews are ethnically cleansing Palestine and America and wage a hate campaign on Christianity and Christian values. I want to know if anyone is a member of a secret cult to take over the world, or just as much as they can get.

Hard to believe that there are people who seriously dispute that Jews are disproportionately represented in the mass media, and that they've been using their influence over the media to systematically promote certain ideas that are "good for Jews" and harmful for white gentiles (e.g. racemixing, the idea that Third World immigration and "diversity" are good for white countries, the idea that white ethnic or racial solidarity are evil, the idea that the holocaust was the central event of the 20th century, etc.).

For the facts on this matter, look up a document called "Who Rules America?" Also watch a documentary called Hollywoodism, and read Professor Kevin MacDonald's book "The Culture of Critique."
