TRUMP AND LEO STRAUSS



One of the chief philosophers of the current crooked elite is Leo Strauss.

Strauss could be described as being gay, Jewish and fascist.



Strauss was gay?

"The Straussian position sometimes seems to be: we can't have open gay rights, that'll destroy pleasures of our private homoerotic club...

"It is impossible to fully understand Strauss without grasping that his pedagogy existed in the zone between the homosocial and the homoerotic."

The 'West Coast' Straussians are supporting Trump.

Strauss believed that "those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right - the right of the superior to rule over the inferior."

Strauss believed that rulers need to go in for "perpetual deception."

...

Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump know about 'perpetual deception.'

Donald Trump is referred to in HyperNormalisation, a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis.

Curtis argues that since the 1970s, governments, financiers, and technological utopians have built a simple "fake world" that is run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.


According to Curtis, "Trump had realized that the version of reality that politics presented was no longer believable. … 

"And in the face of that, you could play with reality."

Trump plays with reality?

Sam Goldman, writing about Trump, refers to Plato, Socrates and Leo Strauss:

According to Goldman:

Many of Strauss's followers have been supporting Trump.

According to Goldman:

Socrates said that tyrants are especially common among rich people's sons who do not have as much prestige as they think they deserve.

Socrates said that tyrants gain power when they win the support of the poor.

Plato said that the tyrant has a distorted soul.

Rather than loving wisdom and justice, the tyrant loves public approval and physical pleasure.



What might Strauss and Hitler have in common?

"Army interrogator Herman Merl, who was a medical technician who interviewed Hitler's doctors, Karl Brandt and Hitler’s primary physician, Theodor Morell, wrote 'Homosex' in the space provided for Hitler's sexuality.

"The doctors told Merl that Hitler did not sleep with girlfriend Eva Braun in her bedroom, and he himself received female hormones. Merl wrote, 'Eva Braun = separate rooms' and 'female hormone – injection 50,000 units.'"

Nazi doctors: Hitler was gay, took female hormones.

Strauss admired both Zionism and elements of the Nazi philosophy.

"Leo Strauss wanted to be a German, part of the remaking of Germany against the decadence... of liberal culture...

"But he also furthered a political Zionism, an analogue to his sympathy for the German national revolution as an alternative to the liberal culture he despised..."

Shadings: “They consider me a 'Nazi' here” – Leo Strauss.



Both the Nazis and the Zionists are told to believe in a Master Race or Chosen People.

The rich elite, whether Nazi or Zionist or Communist Chinese or Hindu, tend to favour 'Authoritarianism'.



Some of the 'working class' also support 'Authoritarianism'.

Think about attitudes on:

Crime and Punishment


Patriotism


Race


Homosexuality



Prince Bernhard, who reportedly was a member of the Nazi Party, would meet his Zionist friends at Bilderberg meetings.

Leo Strauss, who died in 1973, believed that in order to control the ignorant masses, the elite should tell lies.

Strauss believed that "those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right - the right of the superior to rule over the inferior."

Rulers need to go in for "perpetual deception."

Rulers need to press the right buttons on:

Crime and Punishment
Patriotism
Race
Homosexuality



Eysenck

Hans Eysenck, Professor of Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry,King's College, London studied political attitudes.

The leaders of Nazi Germany and the leaders of Israel could both be considered to be 'Tough-Minded'.

Eysenck referred to "Radicalism", "Conservatism", "Tough-Mindedness" and "Tender-Mindedess".

Eysenck saw 'tender-minded' ideologies as 'democratic' and 'friendly to human freedoms', while tough-minded ideologies were aggressive and authoritarian.

Eysenck criticised the luxurious lifestyles of certain leaders who pretended to promote 'equality' while leaving the majority of their people poor.


Do you like the idea of Equality?

Are we all brothers?

Milton Rokeach and his colleagues used content analysis on works exemplifying Nazism (written by Adolf Hitler), communism (written byV.I. Lenin), capitalism (by Barry Goldwater) and socialism (written by various socialist authors).
In excerpts from...

Socialists (socialism) - Equality ranked 2nd

Hitler (nazism) - Freedom ranked 16th, Equality ranked 17th

Goldwater (capitalism) - Equality ranked 16th

Lenin (communism) - Freedom ranked 17th
