Jew Interviews Sikh - Plain and Simple

Below is a second in the communitarianist interview series of my blog. Just like the last interview, it is exclusive, in its entirety, and 100% unedited. The interview is with a Mr. Guruka Singh and is an online prominent figure of the Sikh faith. My questions were based on an assumption that most paranoid Jews such as myself have (everything is being destroyed, polarized, assimilated and ultimately, annihilated). But Mr. Singh reminded me that this isn't necessarily the case of all small minorities, which of course is great to hear! This interview assumes you know the basics of Sikh faith and thus does not cover the basic tenants of Sikh religion, which can be learned about here. To the right, in the links section, is a link to Mr. Singh's web site so please take a visit and donate if you can. And without further ado:

1) I suppose the first question should be who are you and what do you do/represent?

Well, first and foremost, I’m a human being. I don’t mean that facetiously. We all need to become more human at all times. Man = mind and Hu = ray of light. So, to be human means that one’s mind becomes full of light. I’m currently serving as the Executive Director of SikhNet.com, a Web site that connects Sikhs around the world and serves as a deep set of resources for all things related to the Sikh way of life.

2) How do you think the Sikh culture is holding up in America? Is Punjabi still being taught to 2nd and 3rd generations here in the States?

There is no such thing as Sikh culture. There’s Punjabi culture and there’s American culture. The Sikh way of life is not about culture. It’s about consciousness. The language of the Sikh Gurus is Gurmukhi, not Punjabi. Many modern day Punjabi speakers cannot read and understand the songs of our Gurus. But that’s not as important as it may seem. The effect of these songs is direct and occurs without needing to understand the words.

3) Can one convert to Sikhism?

Personally, I prefer not to call the Sikh way of life an “-ism.” It’s simply a way of life and a state of consciousness, along with a set of very effective tools for maintaining one’s consciousness. My personal view is this: What is a Sikh? It is a very simple thing. “Sikh” means student. A student of what? A student of life. One who is here on this earth to learn how the universe works. The fact is, everyone is born a Sikh. Everyone is born to learn and understand reality. Some become Christians, some become Jews, some become Buddhists, some pretend that they are Sikhs, and a very few remain true Sikhs.

4) Is there a Sikh “zionism” of sorts prevalent here in America? Is a “Khalistan” still something the Sikh population pursues, or do you think since there is a Sikh Indian president the persecution may subside?

I cannot generalize about the ‘Sikh population.’ I’m not a political creature. I’m sure there are individuals to whom a sovereign Khalsa state is an important matter. To me, a Sikh can live anywhere and live happily and serve effectively. I think it’s great for global awareness of Sikh identity that the PM of India is a Sikh. Persecution is very much an interactive matter. I firmly believe that one literally creates one’s own reality by the thoughts one thinks. I simply bless everyone and pay no attention to anyone who has hate in their heart. Let them be blessed as well.

5) What do Sikhs think of Judaism? Do they ever mention the similarities between the two religions? (equality, monotheism, persecution etc...)

Oh, Sikhs and Jews have a lot in common. We both love to feed people! Enter a Jewish household and you will be offered food right away; same thing in a Sikh household.

6) What does your community do about inter-faith marriage? Is it prevalent? Has your population here in the States declined because of it?

This is not a concern to me. Again, it’s not about culture, it’s about one’s personal relationship to one’s Guru. Either that relationship is strong or it’s not. It’s very personal. I encourage everyone to marry the person with whom they belong. Some of the best Sikhs I know do not look like Sikhs, and many turbaned Sikhs do not live as Sikhs. It’s way beyond labels. It’s a matter of the heart.

7) America often has a clandestine way of cutting people off from their culture and religion through individualism and its inevitable consequences. How is the Sikh community dealing with individualism amongst its followers, in particular its younger generations? Has it even been an issue? Is attendance at Sikh temples down?

We encourage individualism; let everyone be himself or herself. We all grow from individual consciousness into group consciousness and thence into universal consciousness. Some Sikh temples seem to have no “juice.” They have become political or ritualistic. But some Sikh temples are alive and full of energy and the joy of worshipping together and eating together. Attendance is down in the former, and up in the latter.

8) Although I doubt there is any specific proof, it is widely known that the Israelis often support, via arms and finance, the Kurds and their struggle for Kurdistan. What if Israel, or any nation for that matter, started supporting the Shaheed Khalsa Force, how would the Sikh community react to it, both here in the States and in the Punjabi/Kashmir regions?

I must admit my unabashed ignorance of these matters and fully admit my inability to speculate regarding them.

9) Has there been any mistaken persecution against Sikhs after 9/11 here in America?

Well, there was the whole Balbir Singh Sodhi matter which occurred right after 9/11. But actually I think 9/11 had a very positive effect on awareness about Sikh identity, which actually led to less persecution. Immediately after 9/11, SikhNet became very active in training police, community leaders and airport security personnel all over the USA about Sikh identity.

10) Do you think your dress code, much like the Chasidic dress code, is a way to protect against assimilation? Or are there many Sikhs that do cut their hair and not partake in any of the mandatory 5 K’s? Is it prevalent more so here in America or is it the same rate here as in India?

To keep one’s hairs is a personal decision. Either one experiences the sacredness of keeping the body intact, or one does not. Some of the most beautiful Sikhs I have met have not kept their hairs and wear Western clothing. Sikhi exists in the heart and actions of the person, not in the appearance. Keeping the roop (form) of a Sikh is a personal discipline. It is a personal matter. Either one experiences the benefits of it or one does not. In my travels this year I am seeing a renaissance among the Sikh youth around the world. They are awakening to the direct experience of the discipline of the form and practice of the Sikh way of life.

11) Has there been a polarization of Sikh religiosity? (ie has there been a shift to-wards extremes on both ends of the religious spectrum)

No, not in my experience. The Sikh way of life is not about extremes. It’s about balance. It’s easy to be an extremist and it’s easy to be lazy. It’s difficult to be balanced.

12) I have always felt it a shame that there isn’t more Jewish/Sikh dialogue and always wanted to start a Sikh Jewish Organization for better understanding and relationships. This isn’t a question, just a chance for you to say or ask what you want.

Yes, I agree with you on that. Let’s get it started. You know, the turban is just a large yarmulke.

A Great Book

Every Jew should own a copy of this enlightening book.

Why Liberalism IS anti-Semitism

Lately I’ve been hearing a liberal argument that, on its face, seems difficult to argue with. The argument goes something along the lines of “I, as an american, am allowed to protest Israel because my tax dollars go to fund their army.” This is the argument usually used to counter-argue the anti-semitism veil which most pro-Israelis label such rabidly anti-Israel opponents. Here is why the argument fails, and in fact, further proves anti-semitic bias.

Israel gets billions in US aid, no argument there. Israel has since killed approximately 6-8000 Palestinians in an attempt, however wanton or reckless you may label it, to rid the area of militant terrorists. Therefore, as an American citizen who is indirectly paying for this, you should be allowed to protest it.

Over the past 15 years, the US has given approximately 20 Billion dollars in aid to Russia. The same country that has killed over 250,000 Chechens in an attempt, however wanton or reckless you may label it, to seize oil. They have also armed Iran with nuclear and non-nuclear weaponry which have been passed down to lord knows what militant groups.

Of all the street protests I have ever seen in NY, and of all the Caddilac Jew-hating liberals I have spoken to, NONE of them have ever mentioned how appalled they are at the fact that their tax dollars are indirectly going to Russia’s occupation of Chechnya purely for greed and oil.
Now, this proves one of two things:

(1) You’re either as unbelievably educated as you claim and know full well about the Russian massacres that you are paying for, but don’t care because you hate Jews.

-or-

(2) You are a puppet of the New York Times and BBC political agenda and you do what they say when they say and your only knowledge of anything in this world is their misinterpretation of it.

No matter which one you chose, you should probably be hung, but not until death, just for the pain of it all. Last time I checked, 250,000 is way more than 8,000.

8,000 deaths = 100’s of street protests
250,000 deaths = 0 street protests.

Admit it, you don’t hate Israel, and you don’t love humanity...you just simply hate Jews. And the prospect of being such a simpleton after all those years of education and high-horse PhD bullshit is simply too difficult to accept. Fortunately you’re smart enough to come up with rationalizations for everything. Fortunately, I’m here to prove those rationalizations wrong.

Interview: D.A. Hänks of the The Nationlist Party

The following is an exclusive unedited interview, in its entirety, with Mr. D.A. Hänks. This interview was conducted through email, thus the lack of conversational feel to it. I am a communitarianist, and I believe in respecting all communities, even those communities that I don't particularly love or who strongly disagree with me. Obviously there is a lot (90%) I don't agree with in this interview especially when Mr. Hänks speaks of color. To me, community, religion and culture far outweigh and trump superficialities such as skin color so to me a black Jew is nothing more or less than a Jew, and a black atheist is nothing more or less than a person. My pro-communitarianist stance has never been to halt any color "mixing" of any kind but rather to have something more substantive then wal-mart to stick up for, and which needs you to exist - this clearly surpasses the superficialities of skin color. All that being said, agreeing and loving a fellow community is not what communitarianism is about, its about respecting a fellow community for what they deem important to them. Therefore, I extend a hardy thank you to Mr. Hänks for the interview and to all my readers I present you with Jewish Destrudo's first interview:

1) So I suppose the first question ought to be, who are you and what do you do?

I’m D.A. Hänks, a writer - and soon to be radio commentator - for the NatParUSA website. We’ve just expanded our site to include 24 hour internet radio that represents the freedom that America should espouse to the rest of the world. I am also the author of the underground patriot novel, “Patriot Act – a Novel of Resistance.”

2) For our readers who may not know, is the Nationalist Party a “white power” party or a hate group of any kind?

The Nationalist Party is far from being a hate group; in fact it is love - not hate - which fuels our beliefs. I do not hate someone for being different, but I do love my own kind - people who are of the same race as me - and I believe that I should have the right to associate or disassociate with whomever I wish. I feel it is just as wrong to force people to be together, as it is to force them to be apart. I want to see my culture and heritage preserved; not diluted and erased. Wolves and bobcats cannot coexist peacefully, so how can you expect people to act peacefully when they are just as different as the wolf and bobcat, yet forcefully kept together in the same cage we call multicultural society?

3) What is the Nationalist Party’s stance on Jews living in America? Are they treated like any other minority group or singled out for any particular reason?

We believe that they are of a group that is not like ourselves, therefore, we wish to be separated from Jews. We don’t “single” anyone out. However, we cannot help but look at who controls our banking institutions, media, political system, and Hollywood, without understanding that there is a definite Zionist agenda to control our finances, and to force multiculturalism upon a nation that was formed devoid of it, without realizing that many of the problems we face are a direct result of Jewish supremacism. There would be no illegal immigration problem, if not for the fact that the Zionists’ love of money demands a cheap labor force.

4) I believe in communitarianism, in that each community should be distinct and together support a government, much like the spokes support a wheel.  What impact do you feel individualism has had on our government?  

We no longer have individualism. That ended when Lincoln federalized this nation against the principles of the democratic-republic upon which it was founded. Prior to that, the wheel spokes of which you speak were known as nation-states. Each state was a separate and sovereign nation, free to control itself, with common unity and governmental oversight only in a few key areas. We now report to a central government that according to the Constitution has jurisdiction in the United States over non US citizens only, and over US citizens only in the District of Columbia.

The impact individualism had on our government, was for that government to then declare war against the states that supported it, and forcefully integrate the ones that lost. That said; the impact was to smash individualism, under the orders of the Zionism you are a part of. Zionism can never exist in its true form with any other “isms” in play at the same time.

NatPar seeks true individualism. We seek the rights of the individual to be fully restored. When properly restored, our individual rights along with our individual states rights will become the fifty spokes that you describe in your hypothetical American wheel. The difference is that our individuals will have rights, and not be told what to do.

5) I have tons of questions regarding the Nationalist Party and America, but since this is a blog about a specific topic, I suppose I will keep the interview to just a narrow premise. What communities do the Nationalist Party represent?

Every community that believes in same principles that we do. 

6) Do you think Black Nationalism, and the black community, will ever be taken seriously in our society, and if not, what needs to be done? 

They have just as much right to it as Whites do, but look at any Black Nationalist country in Africa or the Caribbean, to see the results. They are all destitute, disease-ridden, and incapable of governing themselves. While I believe they have every right, just as we do, I also believe that they will fail, and I think that is how society in general, views their idea as well. So no, it will not be taken seriously. Even if Blacks were to get their own piece of the country in a Balkanized America, they would soon be at war with the surrounding areas anyway. They are tribalistic people, and it will always be present in their culture. Do I support their quest? Sure, but I also think it will fail miserably and with a great deal of bloodshed.

7) The primary concept of communitarianism is the respect of another community, even if it means you may not like or love that community.  Why do you feel the Jews respect the Islamic community, even though the Islamic community despises them, but does not respect the communities represented by the Nationalist Party?

I don’t believe that Jews respect any culture or community other than their own. The word “Shiksa,” means spoiled meat, yet it also means “White woman.” Can you tell me how that shows respect?

We need to respect the beliefs of others, but it does not mean we either agree or like the other; it merely means that we need to understand that different people behave differently and need to be left alone if they so desire. I believe in separatism as opposed to supremacism. This probably follows your ideals as well. In regard to your misunderstanding of the Islamists versus the Nationalist party, you are confusing respect with fear.

8) Has the Party ever done anything to change that mentality? 

What mentality? How can you convince a fox that a chicken is a coyote, or vice-versa?

9) Do you support Zionism? And if not, isn’t it essentially nationalism? Explain. 

That is a two-sided question. First, Zionism is separatism, as is Nationalism. There, we probably agree. However, Zionism is also supremacism, and that is where the similarities end. Zionists want to control the economy and those that exist within that economy

If more than one group advocates supremacism, you will have nothing but conflict (only one can be victorious and therefore, supreme. Therefore, you will continue to have discord and wars). By the same token, many groups can simultaneously have separatism - with satisfactory results - provided everyone respects the other’s differences, and does not attempt to invade the other’s space. Israel and Palestine could very easily have peace, if not for the continued unprovoked attacks against Palestinians and their lands. If you are going to have separatism, understand that means being separate, not controlling in an overlord/serfdom. Feudalism is NOT separatism, nor is it freedom, which is what we desire.

So, to answer your question, I do not support Zionism; only for the fact that Zionism is supremacism, not separatism. If you would accommodate others, I might feel differently, but I see you as just as great of a threat as you view me. If Zionists were true separatists, I might feel differently than I do, but how can one accept a supremacy view and be content with it? Israel continually claims they want to be left alone, yet they continue to meddle in the affairs of everyone else around the world, causing strife and malcontent at every turn. You don’t like White supremacists, so why should anyone else like Jewish supremacists? You cannot hate, hate; to do so is to be hypocritical, as is the dislike of one form of supremacy when you believe in a different one as well.

10) How do you react to the extremely high inter-faith marriage rate in our country? 

We were made differently for a reason. Marrying outside of one’s race or faith only dilutes one’s heritage. No racialist of any ethnicity should encourage interfaith or interracial marriage. It serves no purpose other than to remove the traits that make us individuals.

If you mix all the colors together, you get brown. That will never change; it is the law of physics in this universe. There is no more red, yellow, or blue; or any secondary or tertiary colors in between, and no way to separate them back from the brown mix they have become. Those colors are lost forever. That analogy represents multiculturalism and inter-faith/racial mixing. We will ALL lose our individuality (as colors in the spectrum of life, if you will) and become one monochromatic culture. That is wrong. How ironic that our color spectrum by the laws of physics, ends up with the same color of multiculturalism? This is not by chance; laws are laws. Whites, reds, tans, blacks, and yellows, will all end up brown when mixed together. Mideasterners and Mexican mestizos are an excellent example of how people end up when they intermarry.

11) Singaporean Communitarianism believes not in the inherent rights of the individual, but the inherent responsibilities of the individual. What are you feelings on this? 

Free people have rights. Subjects have responsibilities. That is why I choose to live in America, and not Singapore. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” is Socialist propaganda. I owe my government nothing; it represents me, not the other way around.

 

The PC Liberal Police Will Get Me For This.....

This is awesome. So is this.
