This essay is reprinted
from the April 1, 1994, issue of New American
View, a newsletter edited by Victor Marchetti.
(It is no longer published.) Marchetti served
for 14 years with the CIA, where he rose to be
executive assistant to the deputy director. His
book, The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence,
co-authored with John Marks, was the first
critical account of the agency written by an
insider. Marchettis presentation at the Ninth
IHR Conference, "Propaganda and Disinformation:
How the CIA Manufactures History," was published
in the Fall 1989 Journal of Historical Review.
When country Singer Dolly Parton told
Vogue magazine a couple of months ago
that her idea for a TV series about a country
singer who becomes a gospel singer was turned
down by Hollywood, she said that "everyone's
afraid to touch anything that religious because
most of the people out here are Jewish, and it's
a frightening thing for them to promote
Christianity." Truer words were never
spoken.
But the ADLs chief troublemaker, Abe Foxman,
immediately flew into one of his by-now tiresome
furies and fired off a letter (which he made
available to the news media, of course) to
Dolly, scolding her for her innocent, honest
comment. Foxman charged that Ms. Parton was
invoking "the old antisemitic stereotype of
Jewish control of Hollywood and hostility toward
Christianity." He did not, however, directly
contradict her or deny that Hollywood is
controlled by his fellow Jews.
Being the nice person she is and knowing on
which side her bread is buttered, Dolly
dutifully and publicly apologized. She wrote to
Foxman, "I regret that my words could have
conjured up an impression of Jewish 'control' of
Hollywood." Ever the arrogant, whining bully,
Foxman accepted Ms. Parton's atonement,
informing the media that is was a "refreshing
capitulation." And the Hollywood lie lives
on.
The Jewish denial that Hollywood is
controlled by Jews is a great lie which can be
attested to by anyone who has ever been
associated with the film industry. Here is but
one example.
In the late 1970s, New American View
editor Victor Marchetti was working as a
screenwriter on a spy movie. The producer, the
director, Marchetti's agent and just about
everyone else was Jewish. The proposed film was
shopped around to several major studios. All the
executives at all the studios with whom the
project team met, with one exception - Alan
Ladd, Jr., then head of 20th Century Fox - were
Jewish.
At one meeting, at MCA-Universal (the studio
which produced "Schindler's List"), the
discussion was interrupted when a latecomer
entered the studio head's office and took a seat
next to Marchetti. He was a little, nondescript
person who seemed out of place in the production
meeting. The studio head halted the discussion
and, turning to the little man, asked if he bad
any problems with the project after having read
the treatment, an abbreviated script. The man,
speaking with a foreign accent, said no, smiled
at Marchetti, and departed.
"Who is he?" Marchetti asked the studio
head.
The powerful Hollywood boss answered, "He's
an Israeli. I just wanted to make sure there was
nothing in this movie that he would not like."
As the meeting continued, Marchetti began to
count noses. Of the nine people in the office,
Marchetti was the only non-Jew. It reminded him
of many meetings he bad attended in the
publishing world in New York, where often be bad
been the only Gentile out of a dozen or more
people discussing a book project.
Marchetti's Jewish agent leaned over and
asked in a whisper, 'What are you thinking
about?"
"Everybody in the room is Jewish except me."
"Forget about that," the agent said. `You just
better hope that your Jews are smarter than the
studio's. We're talking big bucks."
Since then, Marchetti has had several other
involvements with the Hollywood movie crowd. It
was always the same. The Jews were, and remain,
in control of Tinsel Town. To say otherwise is
to lie.
It is bad enough when a group representing
less than three percent of the American
population - and many of whose members have a
self-proclaimed first loyalty to a foreign
nation - should be in control of so many of
America's cultural, financial and governmental
institutions. But it is positively insulting for
them to deny their influence and power -
particularly when they themselves are
continually boasting in their own circles about
their "overrepresentation" in these fields. And
it is absolutely infuriating when this denial
reaches the point that non-Jews are attacked by
Jewish agitators and Zionist zealots for stating
obvious facts and truth.
Most Americans have always been suspicious of
too much power in too few hands. That's what the
Constitution is all about. And that is why we
have never trusted elitist groups which have
tried to dictate to us. So, if we don't trust
the old-line establishment, the old elite, why
should we not be suspicious of the new elite
-the Jewish establishment - and its excessive
power in America.
