Финкельштейн

[tijd]

Артур Финкельштейн, умерший в 2017, был королем республиканской политтехнологии и ментором Роджера Стоуна и других мастеров грязных трюков.

Long before anyone else in the modern age, Arthur taught Republicans how to win. At one point in the early 1980s, maybe half of the GOP senators were Finkelstein clients and even more in the House. He was a modern Prometheus, bringing fire to Republicankind.

Финкельштейн отточил искусство "черного пиара" - победы на выборах путем поливания противника грязъю, а также "спойлеров" - раскола избирателей с помощью кандидатов от третьих партий. У него несомненно учился Ли Этуотер, архитектор победы Буша-старшего в 1988.



Хотя сам Финкелъштейн к Бушу в то время относился прохладно.

Regarding Bush, Finkelstein said, "he has no issues, no theme, no personality" and then added for Bush supporters, "no offense."
"Bush is running as son of Ronald Reagan. I do not think George Bush will be successful with that, but if he is, he will be the weakest candidate for the GOP."

Но если он не видел "personality" в Буше, но находил это в избытке в Трампе.

Из весьма откровенного выступления Финкельштейна в Праге 16 мая 2011 - день, когда Трамп вышел из президентской гонки:

“Personality voting is very very important because it’s the one vote that overwhelms structure and issues. If I like you, I might vote for you even if I totally disagree with you and you’re not my party. I don’t know if anyone here is watching Donald Trump in the United States, but it’s mind boggling. It’s just pure personality. John Kennedy was personality. Not substance, not structure- personality.”

В том же выступлении Финкельштейн предсказал появление в мировой политике гитлеро-подобных персонажей, которые направляют страхи толпы на группы меньшинств.

"They’re all saying the same thing. You’re taking away our jobs…. Why we pick one group over another to hate, and why we single them out for the failures- The point is the economic crisis is severe, it is creating an energy source around which these movements take place…. The word is xenophobic… it’s super-nationalism. <...>
I don’t know where this is heading. But I do know that the growth of this group… these people, anti-Mexican, anti-Muslim, these people are growing and growing and growing in the United States. And they will continue to grow … They’re about anger."

Это было довольно неплохим предсказанием выигрышной стратегии Трампа.



Финкельштейн знал о чем говорил - когда ему наскучила американская политика, он привел к власти (в качестве главного политтехнолога) Нетаньяху в Израиле и Орбана в Венгрии.

Согласно показаниям Гленна Симпсона в Конгрессе, он же помогал Роджеру Стоуну и Полу Манафорту с Януковичем и его партией в Украине.

Stone was a protege of a Republican political fellow named Arthur Finkelstein, who hired him to work on the Nixon campaign. And Finkelstein was one of the first consultants to really appreciate how to target voters in a way that somewhat resembles the way the Trump campaign and the Russians did. And he spent many years -- he worked -- Finkelstein worked with Stone and Manafort in Ukraine in or around 2005, 2006, for the same cast of bad guys. And later went off to Hungary to work for the pro-Russian prime minister there, Victor Orban, and went into business over there.

Под чутким руководством Орбана Венгрия скатилась в диктатуру и ныне является наименее свободной страной в Европейском Союзе.

Новое расследование Buzzfeed раскрывает, что именно Финкельштейн придумал центральную байку, которая помогла Орбану придти к власти и консолидировать ее - антисемитскую страшилку про могущественного Сороса, который наводняет страну иммигрантами в целях "белого геноцида".

Orbán was busy creating a new, more dramatic story of the nation. Hungary, which had collaborated with the Nazis, was painted as a victim, surrounded by external enemies, under perpetual siege, first from the Ottomans, then the Nazis, and later the Communists. Hungary’s mission was clear: to defend against its enemies, and to preserve Christianity against encroaching Islam and secular forces.
Against this backdrop, Finkelstein had an epiphany. What if the veil of the conspiracy were to be lifted and a shadowy figure appear, controlling everything? The puppet master. Someone who not only controlled the “big capital” but embodied it. A real person. A Hungarian. Strange, yet familiar.
That person was Soros, Finkelstein told Birnbaum.
Birnbaum was mesmerized: Soros was the perfect enemy.

В 2010 эстафетную палочку демонизации Сороса принял Гленн Бек на Fox News (под руководством хорошего знакомого Финкельштейна Роджера Эйлса).

Nazi propaganda called Jews drahtzieher-wire-pullers. They constitute a power above and beyond ordinary government authority. “There is a super-government which is allied to no government, which is free from them all, and yet which has its hand in them all,” Henry Ford wrote in The International Jew.
If you know this history, you’ll understand why Glenn Beck’s two-part “exposé” on George Soros, whom Beck calls “The Puppet Master,” was so shocking, even by Beck’s degraded standards. The program, which aired Tuesday and Wednesday, was a symphony of anti-Semitic dog-whistles. Nothing like it has ever been on American television before.

От обвинений Сороса в том, что он устраивал "цветные революции", несколько попахивало путинской пропагандой, но Бека это не смущало. Он же первым запустил лживую байку о Соросе и нацистах.

"Soros has helped fund the Velvet revolution in the Czech Republic, the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine, the Rose Revolution in Georgia. He also helped engineer coups in Slovakia , Croatia and Yugoslavia. So what is his target now? Us. America."

just to refresh our memories, this was literally the conspiracy theory that apparently drove an anti-Semite to massacre 11 Jews at a Pittsburgh synagogue Saturday. https://t.co/Jf8ZQLBUOd

Уже после смерти Финкельштейна из вранья про Сороса, запущенного в мир с его легкой руки, родился крупнейший антисемитский теракт в истории США.

Имя Сороса в связи с "караваном" вбросил накануне выборов пропутинский конгрессмен Matt Gaetz из Флориды, который до этого прославился тем, что притащил нацистского тролля Чака Джонсона в качестве своего гостя на State of the Union.

A Republican congressman who earlier this year got into trouble for hobnobbing with an accused Holocaust denier held a small fundraiser this summer, and the attendees included, yes, the very same alleged Holocaust denier.

Q: Is George Soros paying Central Americans to immigrate to the U.S.?
A: That’s an unsubstantiated claim that began with a tweet from Rep. Matt Gaetz and then spread widely online.

That is definitely Chuck Johnson. And that means a day after allegedly condemning white supremacy & Steve King on the House floor, some Republicans are walking into the House with.... a Holocaust-denying white supremacist. Fucking amazing. https://t.co/JIG3sHkIBS
