Underlying motives behind the porn industry

The pornography industry in America (Hollywood in particular) is not a nice topic, but we need to be aware of its pushers and their motives. Some are simply in it for the money, but many also have a political and religious motive. They are attempting to destroy any Christian values or moral basis for American society.

Many have noticed the disproportionate involvement of Jews in Hollywood in general. But what many do not realize is the disproportionate involvement of Jews in the porn industry in Hollywood. In 2004 Nathan Abrams, a Jewish author, wrote about this in the Jewish Quarterly. The credit at the end of the article below says this:

“Nathan Abrams is a Lecturer in Modern American History at the University of Aberdeen. He has just completed a book on neo-conservatism in the United States.”

Nathan Abrams on Jews in the American porn industry

Jewish activity in the porn industry divides into two (sometimes overlapping) groups: pornographers and performers. Though Jews make up only two per cent of the American population, they have been prominent in pornography….

Of course, the large number of Jews in porn were mainly motivated by the desire to make profits. Just as their counterparts in Hollywood provided a dream factory for Americans, a blank screen upon which the Jewish moguls’ visions of America could be created and projected, so the porn-moguls displayed a talent for understanding public tastes. What better way to provide the stuff of dreams and fantasies than through the adult-entertainment industry? Performers did porn for the money. As ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman commented, ‘Those Jews who enter the pornography industry have done so as individuals pursuing the American dream.’…

Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America. Some porn stars viewed themselves as frontline fighters in the spiritual battle between Christian America and secular humanism. According to Ford, Jewish X-rated actors often brag about their ‘joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast’. Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion….

It is a case of the traditional revolutionary/radical drive of immigrant Jews in America being channelled into sexual rather than leftist politics. Just as Jews have been disproportionately represented in radical movements over the years, so they are also disproportionately represented in the porn industry. Jews in America have been sexual revolutionaries. A large amount of the material on sexual liberation was written by Jews. Those at the forefront of the movement which forced America to adopt a more liberal view of sex were Jewish. Jews were also at the vanguard of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse and Paul Goodman replaced Marx, Trotsky and Lenin as required revolutionary reading. Reich’s central preoccupations were work, love and sex, while Marcuse prophesied that a socialist utopia would free individuals to achieve sexual satisfaction.

[The author presumes that his readers already know that these prominent Communists--Marx, Trotsky, and Lenin--were Jews, although Lenin’s Jewish roots are less obvious. Marx’s real name was Karl Mordecai Heinrich Levy. Trotsky’s real name was Leon Bronstein, a rabbi from the Lower East Side of NYC.]

What are we ashamed of?

This brief overview and analysis of the role and motivations behind pornographers and performers is intended to shed light on a neglected topic in American Jewish popular culture. Little has been written about it. Books such as Howard M. Sachar’s A History of the Jews in America (New York: Knopf, 1992) simply ignore the topic. And you can bet that the 350th anniversary of the arrival of the Jews in the United States did not include any celebrations of Jewish innovation in this field. Even the usually tolerant Time Out New York has been too prim to deal with it, although the more iconoclastic Heeb plans an issue on it. In light of the relatively tolerant Jewish view of sex, why are we ashamed of the Jewish role in the porn industry? We might not like it, but the Jewish role in this field has been significant and it is about time it was written about seriously.

COMMENT:

Nathan Abrams was just writing about a fact of American history. The lesson for Christians is that when a nation allows non-Christian immigrants to be citizens of a Christian nation, the seeds of destruction are planted. Some of those non-Christians will eventually become activists and will work to subvert the original Christian moral foundations and values until the Christian character is completely changed. The final step, then, is when Christianity itself is outlawed.

The question, I suppose, is how to show love to non-Christians without allowing them to take over the nation. At this point in time, we are so far gone that the situation cannot be resolved apart from an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I believe this will happen soon, but it will first require a Christian awakening to see what is being done to them, and who is behind it. Perhaps the first step in the right direction is to stop viewing Jewish pornographers--or ANY non-Christians--as God’s Chosen People. The idea that one’s genealogy makes people “chosen” has only made the problem worse.
