reaction to Bloon's conceding that, yes, he was a Jew, but not like the
Lubavitchers....I guess the Postvillers had never even seen any Jews.

known a lot of Jews and get along with many of them just fine. I've

Postville, Iowa

"A reader sent me a long write-up on the illegal immigration scandal at
the Lubavitcher slaughterhouse in a small town in Iowa, which I'll post
below. This business run by New York ultra-Orthodox Jews first became
notorious a number of years ago when a Jewish academic named Stephen Bloom
exposed how the newcomers were treating the Iowans. From the review in
Amazon.com:

"The enterprise was a huge international success, with its kosher
meats exported even to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The Jewish population grew
to 150, and they were rich. The town was saved, and the people were
grateful. All's well that ends well? Not quite. The Hasidim kept to
themselves, did things their own way, and basically had no interest in
integrating into Postville. And why would they? Their laws are strict,
their mission clear, their community defined by race and religion. They
are not interested in watermelon socials or coffee klatches at the diner.
Their little boys do not swim with their little girls, are not educated
together, and do not go on play dates with goyim. Small-town Iowans, on
the other hand, are very friendly. They know each other's news, they
support each other's businesses, they wish each other Merry Christmas,
they want you to feel at home. They don't like that the new townspeople
stomp up the street hunched over, talking in a foreign language and
looking straight through them when greeted. They really don't like it when
one of the newcomers drives around town with a 10-foot candelabra strapped
to his car playing music at full volume for eight consecutive winter
nights."


The point is not to pick on the business practices of ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The bigger issue is that this kind of in-group morality is not at all
restricted to Lubavitchers. In-group morality and sharp elbowed business
practices are the norm among mercantile minorities across large swathes of
the world, the great majority of them non-Jewish. (In fact, many are
notoriously anti-Semitic.)

It's the nature of low trust societies: you have the peasants and you have
the business people, and never the twain shall marry. An American-style
society where it's not surprising when a farm boy like Henry Ford or Philo
Farnsworth goes on to big things is a rarity in this world. (Here's Tom
Wolfe on Robert Noyce of Intel, co-inventor of the silicon chip, who grew
up in Grinnell, Iowa, a small town much like Postville -- except now it
has an extremely rich college, due to getting in early on the companies
started by Noyce and another Midwestern boy named Warren Buffett.)

Not surprisingly, lots of mercantile minorities want to emigrate to the
rich pickings in America. What's in it for Americans is less clear.

There has been a giant immigration raid in Postville, Iowa, a town
that has been taken over by a Hasidic Jewish sect, the Lubavitchers, and
the third world illegal workers from Mexico and Eastern Europe that they
have imported to work at their meat processing plant and are dumping on
the community:

There is so much more to the story easily available on the internet.
Rabbi Rubaskin, Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the Lubavitchers, Federal Prison,
arson in Pennsylvania (see Failed Messiah, below), Secret PETA video tapes,
fraudulent kashering, attempted bribery of the police, non-assimilation in
America, self-isolation of Jews, Man! The story has everything. Read
reviews of Stephen Bloom's book, "Postville: A Clash of Cultures in the
Heartland" in which he challenges the melting pot ideology of the open
borders crowd.

Failed Messiah a Jewish blogger, has blog entry after blog entry on
the crookedness of the Rubashkin family and how they screw the gentiles
and the Jews, including articles on Federal prison time for defrauding
their gentile workers:

Here is a two-year-old article from the Jewish Daily Forward on the
exploitation of third-world workers:

This is a "clean" interview with Stephen Bloom on his book about
Postville and the Lubavitcher invasion:

This is Luke Ford's long unexpurgated interview with Stephen Bloom.
Positively scathing and well worth a read.

Here is a bogus suckup article by the Jewish womens group called
"Hadassah" on the wonderful diversity and multiculturalism of Postville:

Hallmark did a ditzy show called "The Way Home: Stories of
Forgiveness" about the (nonexistent) touching reconciliation of the
Postville locals and the third world illegals and Lubavitchers that took
over ... It was narrated by Glen Close.

" In Postville, Iowa, residents were forced to reevaluate their
way of life after the local meat packing plant closed, only to be reopened
by Hasidic Jews from Brooklyn, N.Y. The Hasidic Jews' value of a tight-knit
community seemed to clash with the openness of many in Postville. The
town's story continued when workers from Mexico and Eastern Europe flocked
to Postville to take advantage of the plant's ample job opportunities, and
residents faced further challenges embracing diversity. Gradually the
communities came to understand and respect each other's differences."

But the Rubashkins who run the Postville facility [aren't so nice] to
their fellow Jews as well. Brutal animal slaughter is a way of life at the
Lubavitcher Jewish plant in Postville. It is so nasty (ripping the tracheas
out of cows) that many Jews won't even eat the food because it is a
violation of Jewis shechita (ritual slaughter rules). The slaughter is so
brutal that [the famous high-functioning autistic animal sciences
professor] Temple Grandin (her fascinating life story is worth a read,
too!) condemned the practices several years ago when shown the PETA tape.
[She's a leading designer of animal slaughter yards.]

This is what Stephen Bloom, the author of Postville (see the Luke Ford
review above) has to say about the feel-good sales pitch of happy-diversity
that Hallmark and the Jewish media are pimping:

"The [Hallmark] video is an embarrassment. It's contrived. It's an
audio-visual Hallmark card. It's cheery, upbeat, positive.

"Ever since Postville has come out, I've been interested in what
the Japanese call Wa -- how Japanese society is run. It means harmony. In
Japan, Wa is very important. It's rare in Japan for a vote in a
corporation or the parliament that is not unanimous. All the differences
are aired in private. By the time the public is clued in, everyone is on
board, even the most vociferous critics.

"It's most important to live in a harmonious society where
disagreement is eliminated. In America, journalism is generally opposed to
the Wa. We journalists look at issues and we don't say, 'George Bush is
doing a great job.' That is not a news story. We say, 'George Bush is
screwing up big time.'

"There seems to be a tremendous attempt by the Jewish community,
as prompted by the Hadassah piece, JTA, Forward, and this Hallmark
presentation, to say that two different communities can flourish in
America today. Postville is an example of that. There's a tremendous sense
that readers and viewers need to come away with a feel good response. 'That
stuff that Stephen Bloom did is water under the bridge. That was a long
time ago. That was terrible. But now there's been forgiveness,
reconciliation and harmony.' That's what the [Hallmark] show is all
about.

"They make up a story line that when the Gentile head of the
slaughter house, Donald Hunt, who's in my book, I call him a Caesar Romero
lookalike, died about a year ago. His death brought together the distinct
factions in Postville and began to heal the wounds. There's footage of
Hunt's funeral and locals as well as Lubavitchers at the funeral. They use
that as a point of entry for establishing a premise that things are going
along just great.

"The people I talk to in Postville say things are not going along
great.

"This latest skirmish is the slaughter house dumping some 30 tons
of salt a week into the aquifers of ground water... There seems to be a
journalistic mandate to remind everyone that Postville has reached Wa
status. That's not what journalists do. Journalists are supposed to
afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted."

Lubavitchers don't even assimilate into the mainstream Jewish
community
in major American cities.
