About this website

SydWalker.Info is a personal website. I live in tropical Australia near Cairns. I oppose war, plutocracy, injustice, sectarian supremacism and apartheid. I support urgent action to achieve genuine sustainability and a fair and prosperous society for all. I rely upon - and support - free speech as defined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (see below).

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers"

The Jewish Nation: An Enlightenment Perspective
January 9th, 2009 by Syd Walker

Missile Strike in Gaza

Devastation caused by an Israeli Missile Strike in Gaza, January 2009

Never mind Nostradamus. Put aside the Mayan prophesies for a moment. Don’t be distracted by Jesuit conspiracies, Illuminati or other such unlikely things.

If it’s prophesy you’re after, pay heed instead to the words of Voltaire, one of the founding intellects of the European Enlightenment.

Voltaire lived in an era before Judeophilia had become the (unacknowledged) established religion of the western world.

Portrai of Voltaire

Voltaire; Philosopher and wit, man of the Enlightenment

Voltaire liked to speak his mind and didn’t mind being provocative.

This is what he wrote about a Jewish nation that, at the time he lived, had no geographical or military existence.

The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous — cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.

- François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire); Essai sur les Moeurs et l’Esprit des Nations (1753), Introduction, XLII: Des Juifs depuis Saül

Hate speech?

We report. You decide.

Happily. his tradition of free speech lives on.
