Vulture Capitalism is Jewish Capitalism
by Andrew Joyce
December 18, 2910, Unz Review
It was very
gratifying to see Tucker Carlson’s recent
attack on the activities of Paul Singer’s vulture fund, Elliot
Associates, a group I first profiled
four years ago. In many respects, it is truly remarkable that vulture
funds like Singer’s escaped major media attention prior to this,
especially when one considers how extraordinarily harmful and
exploitative they are. Many countries are now in very significant debt
to groups like Elliot Associates and, as Tucker’s segment very starkly
illustrated, their reach has now extended into the very heart of
small-town America. Shining a spotlight on the spread of this virus is
definitely welcome. I strongly believe, however, that the problem
presented by these cabals of exploitative financiers will only be
solved if their true nature is fully discerned. Thus far, the
descriptive terminology employed in discussing their activities has
revolved only around the scavenging and parasitic nature of their
activities. Elliot Associates have therefore been described as a
quintessential example of a “vulture fund” practicing “vulture
capitalism.” But these funds aren’t run by carrion birds. They are
operated almost exclusively by Jews. In the following essay, I want us
to examine the largest and most influential “vulture funds,” to assess
their leadership, ethos, financial practices, and how they disseminate
their dubiously acquired wealth. I want us to set aside colorful
metaphors. I want us to strike through the mask.
Who Are The Vultures?
It is commonly agreed that the most significant global vulture funds
are Elliot Management, Cerberus, FG Hemisphere, Autonomy Capital,
Baupost Group, Canyon Capital Advisors, Monarch Alternative Capital,
GoldenTree Asset Management, Aurelius Capital Management, OakTree
Capital, Fundamental Advisors, and Tilden Park Investment Master Fund
LP. The names of these groups are very interesting, being either
blankly nondescript or evoking vague inklings of Anglo-Saxon or
rural/pastoral origins (note the prevalence of oak, trees, parks,
canyons, monarchs, or the use of names like Aurelius and Elliot). This
is the same tactic employed by the Jew Jordan Belfort, the “Wolf of
Wall Street,” who operated multiple major frauds under the business
name Stratton Oakmont.
These names are masks. They are designed to cultivate trust and obscure
the real background of the various groupings of financiers. None of
these groups have Anglo-Saxon or venerable origins. None are based in
rural idylls. All of the vulture funds named above were founded by, and
continue to be operated by, ethnocentric, globalist, urban-dwelling
Jews. A quick review of each of their websites reveals their founders
and central figures to be:
Elliot
Management — Paul Singer, Zion Shohet, Jesse Cohn, Stephen Taub, Elliot
Greenberg and Richard Zabel
Cerberus —
Stephen Feinberg, Lee Millstein, Jeffrey Lomasky, Seth Plattus, Joshua
Weintraub, Daniel Wolf, David Teitelbaum

Baupost Group —
Seth Klarman, Jordan Baruch, Isaac Auerbach
Canyon Capital
Advisors — Joshua Friedman, Mitchell Julis
Monarch
Alternative Capital — Andrew Herenstein, Michael Weinstock
GoldenTree Asset
Management — Steven Tananbaum, Steven Shapiro
Aurelius Capital
Management — Mark Brodsky, Samuel Rubin, Eleazer Klein, Jason Kaplan
OakTree Capital
— Howard Marks, Bruce Karsh, Jay Wintrob, John Frank, Sheldon Stone
Fundamental
Advisors — Laurence Gottlieb, Jonathan Stern
Tilden Park
Investment Master Fund LP — Josh Birnbaum, Sam Alcoff
The fact that
all of these vulture funds, widely acknowledged as the most influential
and predatory, are owned and operated by Jews is remarkable in itself,
especially in a contemporary context in which we are constantly
bombarded with the suggestion that Jews don’t have a special
relationship with money or usury, and that any such idea is an example
of ignorant prejudice. Equally remarkable, however, is the fact that
Jewish representation saturates the board level of these companies
also, suggesting that their beginnings and methods of internal
promotion and operation rely heavily on ethnic-communal origins, and
religious and social cohesion more generally. As such, these Jewish
funds provide an excellent opportunity to examine their financial and
political activities as expressions of Jewishness, and can thus be
placed in the broader framework of the Jewish group evolutionary
strategy and the long historical trajectory of Jewish-European
relations.
How They Feed
In May 2018, Puerto Rico declared a form of municipal bankruptcy after
falling into more than $74.8
billion in debt, of which more than $34 billion is interest and
fees. The debt was owed to all
of the Jewish capitalists named above, with the exception of
Stephen Feinberg’s Cerberus group. In order to commence payments, the
government had instituted a policy of fiscal austerity, closing schools
and raising utility bills, but when Hurricane Maria hit the island in
September 2017, Puerto Rico was forced to stop transfers to their
Jewish creditors. This provoked an aggressive attempt by the Jewish
funds to seize assets from an island suffering from an 80% power
outage, with the addition of further interest and fees. Protests broke
out in several US cities calling for the debt to be forgiven. After a
quick stop in Puerto Rico in late 2018, Donald Trump pandered to this
sentiment when he told Fox News, “They owe a lot of money to your
friends on Wall Street, and we’re going to have to wipe that out.” But
Trump’s statement, like all of Trump’s statements, had no substance.
The following day, the director of the White House budget office, Mick
Mulvaney, told reporters: “I think what you heard the president say is
that Puerto Rico is going to have to figure out a way to solve its debt
problem.” In other words, Puerto Rico is going to have to figure out a
way to pay its Jews.
Trump’s reversal is hardly surprising, given that the President is
considered extremely friendly to Jewish financial power. When he
referred to “your friends on Wall Street” he really meant his friends
on Wall Street. One of his closest allies is Stephen Feinberg, founder
and CEO of Cerberus, a war-profiteering vulture fund that has now
accumulated more
than $1.5 billion in Irish debt, leaving the country prone to a “wave
of home repossessions” on a scale not seen since the Jewish
mortgage traders behind Quicken Loans (Daniel Gilbert) and Ameriquest
(Roland Arnall) made
thousands of Americans homeless. Feinberg has also been associated
with mass evictions in Spain, causing a collective of Barcelona
anarchists to label
him a “Jewish mega parasite” in charge of the “world’s vilest
vulture fund.” In May 2018, Trump made Feinberg chair
of his Intelligence Advisory Board, and one of the reasons for
Trump’s sluggish retreat from Afghanistan has been the fact Feinberg’s DynCorp has enjoyed
years of lucrative government defense contracts training Afghan police
and providing ancillary services to the military.
But Trump’s association with Jewish vultures goes far beyond Feinberg.
A recent piece
in the New York Post declared “Orthodox Jews are opening up their
wallets for Trump in 2020.” This is a predictable outcome of the period
2016 to 2020, an era that could be neatly characterised as How Jews
learned to stop worrying and love the Don. Jewish financiers are
opening their wallets for Trump because it is now clear he utterly
failed to fulfil promises on mass immigration to White America, while
pledging his commitment to Zionism and to socially destructive Jewish
side projects like the promotion of homosexuality. These actions,
coupled with his commuting
of Hasidic meatpacking boss Sholom Rubashkin‘s 27-year-sentence for
bank fraud and money laundering in 2017, have sent a message to Jewish
finance that Trump is someone they can do business with. Since these
globalist exploiters are essentially politically amorphous, knowing no
loyalty but that to their own tribe and its interests, there is
significant drift of Jewish mega-money between the Democratic and
Republican parties. The New York Post reports, for example, that when
Trump attended a $25,000-per-couple luncheon in November at a Midtown
hotel, where 400 moneyed Jews raised at least $4 million for the
America First [!] SuperPAC, the luncheon organiser Kelly Sadler, told
reporters, “We screened all of the people in attendance, and we were
surprised to see how many have given before to Democrats, but never a
Republican. People were standing up on their chairs chanting … eight
more years.” The reality, of course, is that these people are not
Democrats or Republicans, but Jews, willing to push their money in
whatever direction the wind of Jewish interests is blowing.
The collapse of Puerto Rico under Jewish debt and elite courting of
Jewish financial predators is certainly nothing new. Congo, Zambia, Liberia, Argentina,
Peru,
Panama,
Ecuador,
Vietnam,
Poland,
and Ireland
are just some of the countries that have slipped fatefully into the
hands of the Jews listed above, and these same people are now closely
watching Greece
and India.
The methodology used to acquire such leverage is as simple as it is
ruthless. On its most basic level, “vulture capitalism” is really just
a combination of the continued
intense relationship between Jews and usury and Jewish involvement
in medieval tax farming. On the older practice, Salo Baron writes in
Economic History of the Jews that Jewish speculators would pay a lump
sum to the treasury before mercilessly turning on the peasantry to
obtain “considerable surpluses … if need be, by ruthless methods.”[1]
The activities of the Jewish vulture funds are essentially the same
speculation in debt, except here the trade in usury is carried out on a
global scale with the feudal peasants of old now replaced with entire
nations. Wealthy Jews pool resources, purchase debts, add astronomical
fees and interests, and when the inevitable default occurs they engage
in aggressive legal activity to seize assets, bringing waves of jobs
losses and home repossessions.
This type of predation is so pernicious and morally perverse that both
the Belgian
and UK
governments have taken steps to ban these Jewish firms from using their
court systems to sue for distressed debt owed by poor nations. Tucker
Carlson, commenting on Paul Singer’s predation and the ruin of the town
of Sidney, Nebraska, has said:
It couldn’t be
uglier or more destructive. So why is it still allowed in the United
States? The short answer: Because people like Paul Singer have
tremendous influence over our political process. Singer himself was the
second largest donor to the Republican Party in 2016. He’s given
millions to a super-PAC that supports Republican senators. You may
never have heard of Paul Singer — which tells you a lot in itself — but
in Washington, he’s rock-star famous. And that is why he is almost
certainly paying a lower effective tax rate than your average fireman,
just in case you were still wondering if our system is rigged. Oh yeah,
it is.
Aside from
direct political donations, these Jewish financiers also escape
scrutiny by hiding behind a mask of simplistic anti-socialist rhetoric
that is common in the American Right, especially the older, Christian,
and pro-Zionist demographic. Rod Dreher, in a commentary on Carlson’s piece
at the American Conservative, points out that Singer gave a speech in
May 2019 attacking the “rising threat of socialism within the
Democratic Party.” Singer continued, “They call it socialism, but it is
more accurately described as left-wing statism lubricated by showers of
free stuff promised by politicians who believe that money comes from a
printing press rather than the productive efforts of businesspeople and
workers.” Dreher comments: “The productive efforts of businesspeople
and workers”? The gall of that man, after what he did to the people of
Sidney.”
What Singer and the other Jewish vultures engage in is not productive,
and isn’t even any recognisable form of work or business. It is
greed-motivated parasitism carried out on a perversely extravagant and
highly nepotistic scale. In truth, it is Singer and his co-ethnics who
believe that money can be printed on the backs of productive workers,
and who ultimately believe they have a right to be “showered by free
stuff promised by politicians.” Singer places himself in an infantile
paradigm meant to entertain the goyim, that of Free Enterprise vs
Socialism, but, as Carlson points out, “this is not the free enterprise
that we all learned about.” That’s because it’s Jewish enterprise —
exploitative, inorganic, and attached to socio-political goals that
have nothing to do with individual freedom and private property. This
might not be the free enterprise Carlson learned about, but it’s
clearly the free enterprise Jews learn about — as illustrated in their
extraordinary over-representation
in all forms of financial exploitation and white collar crime. The
Talmud, whether actively studied or culturally absorbed, is their code
of ethics and their curriculum in regards to fraud, fraudulent
bankruptcy, embezzlement, usury, and financial exploitation. Vulture
capitalism is Jewish capitalism.
Whom They Feed
Singer’s duplicity is a perfect example of the way in which Jewish
finance postures as conservative while conserving nothing. Indeed,
Jewish capitalism may be regarded as the root cause of the rise of
Conservative Inc., a form or shadow of right wing politics reduced
solely to fiscal concerns that are ultimately, in themselves, harmful
to the interests of the majority of those who stupidly support them.
The spirit of Jewish capitalism, ultimately, can be discerned not in
insincere bleating about socialism and business, intended merely to
entertain semi-educated Zio-patriots, but in the manner in which the
Jewish vulture funds disseminate the proceeds of their parasitism. Real
vultures are weak, so will gorge at a carcass and regurgitate food to
feed their young. So then, who sits in the nests of the vulture funds,
awaiting the regurgitated remains of troubled nations?
Boston-based Seth Klarman (net worth $1.5 billion), who like Paul
Singer has declared
“free enterprise has been good for me,” is a rapacious debt exploiter
who was integral
to the financial collapse of Puerto Rico, where he hid much of
activities behind a series of shell companies. Investigative
journalists eventually discovered that Klarman’s Baupost group was
behind much of the aggressive legal action intended to squeeze the
decimated island for bond payments. It’s clear that the Jews involved
in these companies are very much aware that what they are doing is
wrong, and they are careful to avoid too much reputational damage,
whether to themselves individually or to their ethnic group. Puerto
Rican journalists, investigating the debt trail to Klarman, recall
trying to follow one of the shell companies (Decagon) to Baupost via a
shell company lawyer (and yet another Jew) named Jeffrey Katz:
Returning to the
Ropes & Gray thread, we identified several attorneys who had worked
with the Baupost Group, and one, Jeffrey Katz, who – in addition to
having worked directly
with Baupost – seemed to describe a particularly close and longstanding
relationship with a firm fitting Baupost’s profile on his experience
page. … I called Katz and he picked up, to my surprise. I identified
myself, as well as my affiliation with the Public Accountability
Initiative, and asked if he was the right person to talk to about
Decagon Holdings and Baupost. He paused, started to respond, and then
evidently thought better of it and said that he was actually in a
meeting, and that I would need to call back (apparently, this
high-powered lawyer picks up calls from strange numbers when he is in
important meetings). As he was telling me to call back, I asked him
again if he was the right person to talk to about Decagon, and that I
wouldn’t call back if he wasn’t, and he seemed to get even more
flustered. At that point he started talking too much, about how he was
a lawyer and has clients, how I must think I’m onto some kind of big
scoop, and how there was a person standing right in front of him –
literally, standing right in front of him – while I rudely insisted on
keeping him on the line.
One of the
reasons for such secrecy is the intensive Jewish philanthropy engaged
in by Klarman under his Klarman
Family Foundation. While Puerto Rican schools are being closed, and
pensions and health provisions slashed, Klarman is regurgitating the
proceeds of massive debt speculation to his “areas
of focus” which prominently includes “Supporting
the global Jewish community and Israel.” While plundering the
treasuries of the crippled nations of the goyim, Klarman and his
co-ethnic associates have committed themselves to “improving the
quality of life and access to opportunities for all Israeli citizens so
that they may benefit from the country’s prosperity.” Among those in
Klarman’s nest, their beaks agape for Puerto Rican debt interest, are
the American Jewish Committee, Boston’s Combined Jewish Philanthropies,
the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Honeymoon Israel Foundation,
Israel-America Academic Exchange, and the Israel Project. Klarman, like
Singer, has also been an enthusiastic proponent of liberalising
attitudes to homosexuality, donating $1 million to a Republican super
PAC aimed at supporting pro-gay marriage GOP candidates in 2014 (Singer
donated $1.75 million). Klarman, who also contributes to
candidates who support immigration reform, including a path to
citizenship for undocumented immigrants, has said “The right to gay
marriage is the largest remaining civil rights issue of our time. I
work one-on-one with individual Republicans to try to get them to
realize they are being Neanderthals on this issue.”
Steven Tananbaum’s GoldenTree Asset Management has also fed well on
Puerto Rico, owning $2.5 billion of the island’s debt. The Centre for
Economic and Policy Research has commented:
Steven
Tananbaum, GoldenTree’s chief investment officer, told a business
conference in September (after Hurricane Irma, but before Hurricane
Maria) that he continued to view Puerto Rican bonds as an attractive
investment. GoldenTree is spearheading a group of COFINA bondholders
that collectively holds about $3.3 billion in bonds. But with Puerto
Rico facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and lacking enough
funds to even begin to pay back its massive debt load, these vulture
funds are relying on their ability to convince politicians and the
courts to make them whole. The COFINA bondholder group has spent $610,000
to lobby Congress over the last two years, while GoldenTree itself made
$64,000 in political contributions to federal candidates in the
2016 cycle. For vulture funds like GoldenTree, the destruction of
Puerto Rico is yet another opportunity for exorbitant profits.
Whom does
Tananbaum feed with these profits? A brief glance at the spending of
the Lisa
and Steven Tananbaum Charitable Trust reveals a relatively short
list of beneficiaries including United Jewish Appeal Foundation,
American Friends of Israel Museum, Jewish Community Center, to be among
the most generously funded, with sizeable donations also going to
museums specialising in the display of degenerate and demoralising art.
Following the collapse in Irish asset values in 2008, Jewish vulture
funds including OakTree Capital swooped on mortgagee debt to seize tens
of thousands of Irish homes, shopping malls, and utilities (Steve
Feinberg’s Cerberus took control of public waste disposal). In 2011,
Ireland emerged as a hotspot for distressed property assets, after its
bad banks began selling loans that had once been held by struggling
financial institutions. These loans were quickly purchased at knockdown
prices by Jewish fund managers, who then aggressively sought the
eviction of residents in order to sell them for a fast profit. Michael
Byrne, a researcher at the School of Social Policy at University
College Dublin, Ireland’s largest university, comments:
“The aggressive strategies used by vulture funds lead to human
tragedies.” One homeowner, Anna Flynn recalls how her mortgage fell
into the hands of Mars Capital, an affiliate of Oaktree Capital, owned
and operated by the Los Angeles-based Jews Howard Marks and Bruce
Karsh. They were “very, very difficult to deal with,” said Flynn, a
mother of four. “All [Mars] wanted was for me to leave the house; they
didn’t want a solution [to ensure I could retain my home].”
When Bruce Karsh isn’t making Irish people homeless, whom does he feed
with his profits? A brief glance at the spending of the Karsh
Family Foundation reveals millions of dollars of donations to the
Jewish Federation, Jewish Community Center, and the United Jewish Fund.
Paul Singer, his son Gordin, and their Elliot Associates colleagues
Zion Shohet, Jesse Cohn, Stephen Taub, Elliot Greenberg and Richard
Zabel, have a foothold in almost every country, and have a stake in
every company you’re likely to be familiar with, from book stores to
dollar stores. With the profits of exploitation, they fund
campaigns for homosexuality and mass migration, boost Zionist
politics, invest
millions in security for Jews, and promote wars for Israel. Singer
is a Republican, and is on the Board of the Republican Jewish
Coalition. He is a former board member of the Jewish Institute for
National Security Affairs, has funded neoconservative research groups
like the Middle East Media Research Institute and the Center for
Security Policy, and is among the largest funders of the
neoconservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He was also
connected to the pro-Iraq War advocacy group Freedom’s Watch. Another
key Singer project was the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), a
Washington D.C.-based advocacy group that was founded in 2009 by
several high-profile Jewish neoconservative figures to promote
militaristic U.S. policies in the Middle East on behalf of Israel and
which received its seed money from Singer.
Although Singer was initially anti-Trump, and although Trump once attacked
Singer for his pro-immigration politics (“Paul Singer represents
amnesty and he represents illegal immigration pouring into the
country”), Trump is now essentially funded by three Jews—Singer,
Bernard Marcus, and Sheldon Adelson, together accounting for over
$250 million in pro-Trump political money. In return, they want war
with Iran. Employees of Elliott Management were one of the main sources
of funding for the 2014 candidacy of the Senate’s most outspoken Iran
hawk, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who urged Trump to conduct a “retaliatory
strike” against Iran for purportedly attacking two commercial tankers.
These exploitative Jewish financiers have been clear that they expect a
war with Iran, and they are lobbying hard and preparing to call in
their pound of flesh. As one political commentator put it, “These
donors have made their policy preferences on Iran plainly known. They
surely expect a return on their investment in Trump’s GOP.”
The same pattern is witnessed again and again, illustrating the stark
reality that the prosperity and influence of Zionist globalism rests to
an overwhelming degree on the predations of the most successful and
ruthless Jewish financial parasites. This is not conjecture,
exaggeration, or hyperbole. This is simply a matter of striking through
the mask, looking at the heads of the world’s most predatory financial
funds, and following the direction of regurgitated profits.
Make no mistake, these cabals are everywhere and growing. They could be
ignored when they preyed on distant small nations, but their intention
was always to come for you too. They are now on your doorstep. The
working people of Sidney, Nebraska probably had no idea what a vulture
fund was until their factories closed and their homes were taken. These
funds will move onto the next town. And the next. And another after
that. They won’t be stopped through blunt support of “free enterprise,”
and they won’t be stopped by simply calling them “vulture capitalists.”
Strike through the mask!
