“I am unhappy that The Supreme Court which gave us Brown has thrown what I believe to be unnecessary roadblocks on speeding up the process of racial integration and finally getting to the color blind society we would (want) but the direction we are moving in is clear, even if the pace is slower than it should be and in final analysis we owe that to the Court which had the courage and unaninimity to decide Brown.” – Nicholas Katzenbach
Nicholas Katzenbach: Soft Spoken Evil.
Notice how integration (which used to be the word that you would hear all the time back in the 60’s and 70’s) has given way to the word “diversity”, an innocuous and ecologically positive term, has been (((red caped))) as integration; and by which “activists” still mean forced integration
Nicholas Katzenbach (1922 – 2012):
“The resistance of the White South to integration and the determination of blacks to gain equal treatment was leading to increased danger and more and more violence.
There were very few laws to enforce. Enforcing Brown on any scale took time and resources. How many schools can be sued?
With the freedom riders, it became clear that legislation was needed; the Federal government had limited resources when it came to protecting unpopular free speech.
Violence continued and disjointed action required Federal legislation.
If we think of Brown as desegregating education it is a failure.
But the fault was neither that of Brown nor of the Court. The Court did in fact eliminate state supported segregation; it could not and did not eliminate discrimination based on other factors; property taxes; housing patterns, school district lines; including summary racial bias.
If we think of Brown in political terms it has accomplished much. It has abolished state segregation in all segments of our society.
No Justice could have predicted the impact of Brown but they all knew it was a turning point in our long history of racial prejudice.
Martin Luther King and the Southern church leaders seized upon the decision to seek rights far in excess of what the Courts had provided.
We (Katzenbach, Kennedies, Johnson, The Warren Court, Jewish leaders) had a good relationship with ‘Civil Rights’, (Civil Rights circa the 1964 Act meaning, a violation of freedom of/from association) leaders, but the Civil Rights leaders were always critical that we were not doing enough. I think they were quite right in taking that view….but we couldn’t figure out what it was that they wanted us to do…we did a great deal, but the answer had to be legislation, you had to have not only The President, not only The Attorney General, not even The Supreme Court as with The Brown Case, you really had to have The Congress and the people behind this; and you were not going to get anywhere until that happened.
The march on Washington (1963) was a glimpse of what America should be.
All speeches with blacks and Whites speaking in favor of integration.
Thanks to Dr. King and the many people that worked with him, his peaceful demonstrations (in truth, deliberately provocative of violence and legal response), thanks to television (framing and creating reaction to those “peaceful’ demonstrations, viz. provocations by which the media could misrepresent Whites as the aggressors) ‘people’ finally said that this was wrong, Republicans, Democrats both, and we were able to get that legislation passed.”
Katzenbach was a force in putting across the crucial (((red-caping))) of Lockeatine Civil Rights, having worked hard on drafting and passing that legislation – “The Civil Rights Act” (forced integration act, thus red-caped) of 1964.
I love pointing-out to people, right-wingers, who want to blame youth culture of the 60s as the onset and crux of our demise, that Jewish power and influence combined with their red-caping of Modernist principles and just plain Modernist naivete on the part of Whites (conserving liberalism), were the forces that were the major culprits – and they were well in force already in the 50s and early 60s, well before kids grew their hair long, listened to rock n’ roll and resisted the Vietnam draft.
Kennedy had been ignoring Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson’s advice, to “look Southerners in the eye and tell them that integration was a moral and Christian issue.”
As Katzenbach confronted Wallace, who postured as if to stand in the way of integration…
Watching Wallace’s posturing, President Kennedy decided for the first time in his career to risk his political standing in the South by taking the side of integration. President Kennedy decides to go on national television that night and give a speech calling for a civil rights act to end discrimination in the South.
“We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the scriptures and as clear as The American Constitution. The heart of the question is, whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities (He ‘finally’ calls for Federal law ending segregation). Next week I shall ask the Congress of The United States to act, to make a commitment that has not been fully made in this century to the proposition that race has no place in American life or law.
Along with Emanuel Celler, etl al., Katzenbach worked hard on drafting and passing that legislation – “The Civil Rights Act” (forced integration act) of 1964.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it unlawful for an employer to “fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions or privileges or employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
Among other prohibitions against discrimination..
We have here in culmination, the ultimate in double speak (((red caping))) terms: “Civil Rights” equals being told whose babies we have to pay for, with whom we must study (Brown vs. Board of Education), whose children we have to educate (with precious knowledge, tortuously acquired in our sublimation), to whom we must rent, to whom we must sell, whom we must hire, and whom we must serve even in our private businesses – and this is called “freedom” – [!]
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned racial segregation “by businesses offering food, lodging, gasoline, or entertainment to the public.”
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that “An employer cannot discriminate against a person because of his interracial association with another, such as by an interracial marriage.”
Deputy Attorney General Nicholas D. Katzenbach working alongside a Kennedy clan willing to sell out and open its country to catastrophic integration in order to gain power, along with a similarly disposed Lyndon B. Johnson, not at all overtaken by W. Bush, who gave a run for worst President ever, sundry other Jews and objectivist Whites, oversaw departmental operations in desegregating the University of Mississippi in September 1962 and the University of Alabama in June 1963 – where Katzenbach (personally and symbolically moved Governor Wallace aside and) opened the door for non-Whites – also worked with Congress to ensure the passage of the Voting Rights Act, along with his 1964 Civil Rights Act, which received significant help in passing from yes, that Emmanuel Cellar, while facilitating Cellar’s special project, The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act.
Lyndon Johnson and Nicholas Katzenbach on the Immigration Bill:
This is an excerpt from a conversation between President Johnson and Attorney General Nicolas Katzenbach. The clip picks up with Johnson asking, “What’re you gonna do for me on my birthday? Get the immigration bill reported?” Katzenbach and Rep. Emmanuel Cellar (the key sponsor of the bill who happens to be in the office with LBJ at the time) then discuss the cap on western hemisphere immigration, which Cellar opposes.
Even freedom of association, as it does not account for full processual development of those within the class, would not be sufficiently deep by itself, were it allowed. But while that objectivist, rational blindness of Civil Rights was bad enough, Jewish interests perverted its meaning (((red-caped))) it to violate that freedom of association even, within the United States, with The 1964 Civil Rights Act, and on an international scale, even, with 1965 Immigration & Naturalization Act.
This is why not only the Abrahamic universalism of The Right, but its wedding to Enlightenment style objectivism (and universalism) must be overcome as well – and it is the post modern project, proper, which has undertaken to do that.
Of course none of this forced integration takes into account profound biological differences between groups of people and their demographic, reproductive patterns and the hideous destruction of imposed integration.
We can defeat the boundless mulatto supremacist hatred of the Jews, for Whites.
However, it will, in part, require overcoming the rational blindness of our Augustinian over-predilection, objectivism and sheer Enlightenment values… and those, like the Kennedy brothers, who served as shabbos goy with that (Ted fore-fronting the Immigration and Naturalization Act as an initiative that would “not change the demographic make up of America” … John and Bobby being water carriers for “Civil Rights”).
Nevertheless, Kennedy, in his intoxication of Enlightened Objectivism, set so much in motion, of what his predecessors had set forth and what his successors would follow through on, in such a short period of time…
Kennedy’s rational blindness in the purity spiral as such, caused him to contribute to the horrible misunderstanding of Vietnamese ethnonationalism as sheerly complicit with communist take-over in domino effect (whereas leading Vietnamese ethnonationalst, Hồ Chí Minh, had first appealed to U.S. assistance in pursuit of its ethnonational sovereignty), which got us into the Vietnam debacle for a strategy of showing strength against communism with “small wars.”
Katzenbach, in addition to being instrumental n putting over “civil rights” anti-discrimination/ integration legislation with both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, was instrumental in Vietnam policy – defending President Johnson’s escalation of the war.
NY Times, ‘Nicholas Katzenbach, 90, Dies; Policy Maker at ’60s Turning Points’, 9 May 2012:
His six years in government put him in the thick of some of the major events of the ’60s. He advised President John F. Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis, negotiated the release of Cuban prisoners captured during the Bay of Pigs invasion and pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Kennedy assassination. He was Robert F. Kennedy’s No. 2 in the Justice Department and took on J. Edgar Hoover, the pugnacious F.B.I. director, over his wiretapping of Martin Luther King Jr. As an under secretary of state, he defended Johnson’s escalation of the Vietnam War before Congress.
“Few men have been so deeply involved in the critical issues of our time,” Johnson wrote to him when Mr. Katzenbach left government in 1968.
Perhaps his tensest moment came on June 11, 1963, when he confronted George C. Wallace in stifling heat on the steps of the University of Alabama. Mr. Wallace was the Alabama governor who had trumpeted “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” and vowed to block the admission of two black students “at the schoolhouse door.”
Mr. Katzenbach, in front of television cameras and flanked by a federal marshal and a United States attorney, approached Foster Auditorium, the main building on campus, around 11 a.m. Mr. Wallace was waiting behind a lectern at the top of the stairs, surrounded by a crowd of whites, some armed. “Stop!” he called out, raising his hand.
Mr. Katzenbach read a presidential proclamation ordering that the students be admitted and asked the governor to step aside peacefully. Wallace read a five-minute statement castigating “the central government” for “suppression of rights.”
I have not traced the connection and potential reasoning for it perfectly, but Katzenbach was apparently aware of the immanent likelihood of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. It would seem that Katzenbach was at least quite prepared to work with successors who were a part in thinking that Kennedy was somehow in the way (including Israel, possibly, which saw Kennedy as an obstruction to their gaining an independent nuclear deterrent).
Former Senate investigator, Harold Weisberg –
On Katzenbach’s premeditated directive that Oswald was to be strictly presented by the media as the lone assassin:
Weisberg: “Kennedy was killed on Friday, November 22nd, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was Killed by Jack Ruby on Sunday, the 24th of November (1963). Nicholas Katzenbach was the acting Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General – and he knew immediately that Oswald was not going to be tried. They didn’t have to put this evidence – autopsy evidence of Kennedy’s wounds indicating trajectory of bullets – into court:
…so, he (Katzenbach) takes a lawyer’s yellow legal pad and writes out in long hand a memorandum to Bill Moyers, that was the channel to Lyndon Johnson; and in essence he says we’ve got to convince the world that Oswald was a lone assassin and the evidence was such that he would have been convicted if he had gone to trial.
Addendum: L.B.J.'s Jewish ancestry and allegiance
5TJT, ‘Our First Jewish President Lyndon Johnson? – an update!!’ 11 April 2013:
by Morris Smith
A few months ago, the Associated Press reported that newly released tapes from US president Lyndon Johnson’s White House office showed LBJ’s “personal and often emotional connection to Israel.” The news agency pointed out that during the Johnson presidency (1963-1969), “the United States became Israel’s chief diplomatic ally and primary arms supplier.”
But the news report does little to reveal the full historical extent of Johnson’s actions on behalf of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Most students of the Arab-Israeli conflict can identify Johnson as the president during the 1967 war. But few know about LBJ’s actions to rescue hundreds of endangered Jews during the Holocaust – actions that could have thrown him out of Congress and into jail. Indeed, the title of “Righteous Gentile” is certainly appropriate in the case of the Texan, whose centennial year is being commemorated this year. Appropriately enough, the annual Jerusalem Conference announced this week that it will honor Johnson.
Historians have revealed that Johnson, while serving as a young congressman in 1938 and 1939, arranged for visas to be supplied to Jews in Warsaw, and oversaw the apparently illegal immigration of hundreds of Jews through the port of Galveston, Texas….
A key resource for uncovering LBJ’s pro-Jewish activity is the unpublished 1989 doctoral thesis by University of Texas student Louis Gomolak, “Prologue: LBJ’s Foreign Affairs Background, 1908-1948.” Johnson’s activities were confirmed by other historians in interviews with his wife, family members and political associates.
Research into Johnson’s personal history indicates that he inherited his concern for the Jewish people from his family. His aunt Jessie Johnson Hatcher, a major influence on LBJ, was a member of the Zionist Organization of America.
According to Gomolak, Aunt Jessie had nurtured LBJ’s commitment to befriending Jews for 50 years. As young boy, Lyndon watched his politically active grandfather “Big Sam” and father “Little Sam” seek clemency for Leo Frank, the Jewish victim of a blood libel in Atlanta. Frank was lynched by a mob in 1915, and the Ku Klux Klan in Texas threatened to kill the Johnsons. The Johnsons later told friends that Lyndon’s family hid in their cellar while his father and uncles stood guard with shotguns on their porch in case of KKK attacks. Johnson’s speech writer later stated, “Johnson often cited Leo Frank’s lynching as the source of his opposition to both anti-Semitism and isolationism.”
Already in 1934 – four years before Chamberlain’s Munich sellout to Hitler – Johnson was keenly alert to the dangers of Nazism and presented a book of essays, ‘Nazism: An Assault on Civilization’, to the 21-year-old woman he was courting, Claudia Taylor – later known as “Lady Bird” Johnson. It was an incredible engagement present.
FIVE DAYS after taking office in 1937, LBJ broke with the “Dixiecrats” and supported an immigration bill that would naturalize illegal aliens, mostly Jews from Lithuania and Poland. In 1938, Johnson was told of a young Austrian Jewish musician who was about to be deported from the United States. With an element of subterfuge, LBJ sent him to the US Consulate in Havana to obtain a residency permit. Erich Leinsdorf, the world famous musician and conductor, credited LBJ for saving his live.
That same year, LBJ warned Jewish friend, Jim Novy, that European Jews faced annihilation. “Get as many Jewish people as possible out of Germany and Poland,” were Johnson’s instructions. Somehow, Johnson provided him with a pile of signed immigration papers that were used to get 42 Jews out of Warsaw. But that wasn’t enough. According to historian James M. Smallwood, Congressman Johnson used legal and sometimes illegal methods to smuggle “hundreds of Jews into Texas, using Galveston as the entry port. Enough money could buy false passports and fake visas in Cuba, Mexico and other Latin American countries. Johnson smuggled boatloads and planeloads of Jews into Texas. He hid them in the Texas National Youth Administration. Johnson saved at least four or five hundred Jews, possibly more.”
During World War II Johnson joined Novy at a small Austin gathering to sell $65,000 in war bonds. According to Gomolak, Novy and Johnson then raised a very “substantial sum for arms for Jewish underground fighters in Palestine.” One source cited by the historian reports that “Novy and Johnson had been secretly shipping heavy crates labeled ‘Texas Grapefruit’ – but containing arms – to Jewish underground ‘freedom fighters’ in Palestine.”
ON JUNE 4, 1945, Johnson visited Dachau. According to Smallwood, Lady Bird later recalled that when her husband returned home, “he was still shaken, stunned, terrorized, and bursting with an overpowering revulsion and incredulous horror at what he had seen.”
A decade later while serving in the Senate, Johnson blocked the Eisenhower administration’s attempts to apply sanctions against Israel following the 1956 Sinai Campaign. “The indefatigable Johnson had never ceased pressure on the administration,” wrote I.L. “Si” Kenen, the head of AIPAC at the time. As Senate majority leader, Johnson consistently blocked the anti-Israel initiatives of his fellow Democrat, William Fulbright, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Among Johnson’s closest advisers during this period were several strong pro-Israel advocates, including Benjamin Cohen (who 30 years earlier was the liaison between Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis and Chaim Weizmann) and Abe Fortas, the legendary Washington “insider.”
Johnson’s concern for the Jewish people continued through his presidency. Soon after taking office in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, Johnson told an Israeli diplomat, “You have lost a very great friend, but you have found a better one.” Just one month after succeeding Kennedy, LBJ attended the December 1963 dedication of the Agudas Achim Synagogue in Austin. Novy opened the ceremony by saying to Johnson, “We can’t thank him enough for all those Jews he got out of Germany during the days of Hitler.” Lady Bird would later describe the day, according to Gomolak: “Person after person plucked at my sleeve and said, ‘I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for him. He helped me get out.’” Lady Bird elaborated, “Jews had been woven into the warp and woof of all [Lyndon’s] years.”
The PRELUDE to the 1967 war was a terrifying period for Israel, with the US State Department led by the historically unfriendly Dean Rusk urging an evenhanded policy despite Arab threats and acts of aggression. Johnson held no such illusions. After the war he placed the blame firmly on Egypt: “If a single act of folly was more responsible for this explosion than any other, it was the arbitrary and dangerous announced decision [by Egypt that the Strait of Tiran would be closed [to Israeli ships and Israeli-bound cargo].”
Kennedy was the first president to approve the sale of defensive US weapons to Israel, specifically Hawk anti-aircraft missiles. But Johnson approved tanks and fighter jets, all vital after the 1967 war when France imposed a freeze on sales to Israel. Yehuda Avner recently described on these pages prime minister Levi Eshkol’s successful appeal for these weapons on a visit to the LBJ ranch. Israel won the 1967 war, and Johnson worked to make sure it also won the peace. “I sure as hell want to be careful and not run out on little Israel,” Johnson said in a March 1968 conversation with his ambassador to the United Nations, Arthur Goldberg, according to White House tapes recently released.
Ibid.
Soon after the 1967 war, Soviet premier Aleksei Kosygin asked Johnson at the Glassboro Summit why the US supported Israel when there were 80 million Arabs and only three million Israelis. “Because it is a right thing to do,” responded the straight-shooting Texan.
The crafting of UN Resolution 242 in November 1967 was done under Johnson’s scrutiny. The call for “secure and recognized boundaries” was critical. The American and British drafters of the resolution opposed Israel returning all the territories captured in the war. In September 1968, Johnson explained, “We are not the ones to say where other nations should draw lines between them that will assure each the greatest security. It is clear, however, that a return to the situation of 4 June 1967 will not bring peace. There must be secure and there must be recognized borders. Some such lines must be agreed to by the neighbors involved.” Goldberg later noted, “Resolution 242 in no way refers to Jerusalem, and this omission was deliberate.” This historic diplomacy was conducted under Johnson’s stewardship, as Goldberg related in oral history to the Johnson Library. “I must say for Johnson,” Goldberg stated. “He gave me great personal support.”
Robert David Johnson, a professor of history at Brooklyn College, recently wrote in The New York Sun, Johnson’s policies stemmed more from personal concerns – his friendship with leading Zionists, his belief that America had a moral obligation to bolster Israeli security and his conception of Israel as a frontier land much like his home state of Texas. His personal concerns led him to intervene when he felt that the State or Defense departments had insufficiently appreciated Israel’s diplomatic or military needs.”
President Johnson firmly pointed American policy in a pro-Israel direction. In a historical context, the American emergency airlift to Israel in 1973, the constant diplomatic support, the economic and military assistance and the strategic bonds between the two countries can all be credited to the seeds planted by LBJ.
ADDITONAL NOTE:
Lyndon Johnson’s maternal ancestors, the Huffmans, apparently migrated to Frederick, Maryland from Germany sometime in the mid-eighteenth century. Later they moved to Bourbon, Kentucky and eventually settled in Texas in the mid-to-late nineteenth century.According to Jewish law, if a person’s mother is Jewish, then that person is automatically Jewish, regardless of the father’s ethnicity or religion. The facts indicate that both of Lyndon Johnson’s great-grandparents, on the maternal side, were Jewish.
These were the grandparents of Lyndon’s mother, Rebecca Baines. Their names were John S. Huffman and Mary Elizabeth Perrin. John Huffman’s mother was Suzanne Ament, a common Jewish name. Perrin is also a common Jewish name.
Huffman and Perrin had a daughter, Ruth Ament Huffman, who married Joseph Baines and together they had a daughter, Rebekah Baines, Lyndon Johnson’s mother. The line of Jewish mothers can be traced back three generations in Lyndon Johnson’s family tree. There is little doubt that he was Jewish.

This being a Jewish newspaper, they are not going to talk about L.B.J.‘s part in the failed false-flag operation against The U.S. Liberty and cover-up; however, their boasting confirms the basis of Jonson’s motivations, from pro-Israeli foreign policy to his desire to be the President remembered domestically for “The Great Society”: seeing through 1) “The Civil Rights Act of 1964” – spearheaded by Katzenbach, it prohibited freedom of and from association, freedom of racial and other discrimination in public facilities and private businesses. 2) “The Immigration & Naturalization Act of 1965” – spearhead by Cellar and Javitz and fronted by Teddy Kennedy, it overturned quotas and racial guidelines to American immigration. 3) The implementation of “The Rumsford Fair Housing Act” – a decree ruled through Jewish Court judges, stipulating that one cannot discriminate against any citizen who wished to buy or rent property.
Wiki: The Rumsford Fair Housing Act Legislation was the culmination of a civil rights campaign against housing discrimination in the US and was approved, at the urging of President Lyndon B. Johnson, only one week after the assassination of M.L.King.
