Joe Eszterhas Accuses Mel Gibson of Marathon Anti-Semitic Rant

Joe Eszterhas and Mel Gibson were supposed to be working on a film called The Maccabees. The project has imploded after Warner Brothers rejected Eszterhas' script, and Joe Eszterhas places the blame squarely on Mel Gibson.

Specifically, Joe Eszterhas accuses Mel Gibson of rampant anti-semitism (which would seem a deal-breaker for a movie about Jewish history), as well as vicious misogyny and, as the cherry on top, a statement that John Lennon deserved to die.

The Wrap has Joe Eszterhas' letter to Mel Gibson, but we'll include a few of Eszterhas' biggest accusations:

“You said the Holocaust was 'mostly a lot of horses**t.' You said the Torah made reference to the sacrifice of Christian babies and infants. When I told you that you were confusing the Torah with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, ... you insisted 'it's in the Torah -- it's in there!' (It isn't)."
"You continually called Jews 'Hebes' and 'oven-dodgers' and 'Jewboys.' It seemed that most times when we discussed someone, you asked 'He’s a Hebe, isn’t he?'"
"About John Lennon: 'I'm glad he's dead. He deserved to be shot. He was fucking messianic. Listen to his songs! 'Imagine.' I hate that fucking song. I'm glad he's dead.'"
On former partner Oksana Gregorieva: “I want to fuck her in the ass and stab her to death while I’m doing it.” (This was allegedly said to Joe Eszterhas' 15-year-old son, Nick)
More on Oksana Gregorieva: “And then you were even more explicit about your threat: “I’m going to kill her! I’m going to have her killed!” You said you’d become friends with two FBI agents (or former FBI agents) and they were going to help you to kill her.”

At one point, Mel Gibson allegedly chased visiting priests from his Costa Rica house, screaming at them as he ran.

Mel Gibson Denies (Many of) Joe Eszterhas' Accusations

Mel Gibson responded to Joe Eszterhas' accusations with a letter of his own, in which he denies many of the screenwriter's claims. However, Gibson didn't deny all of them, and didn't elaborate on which were false:

"I have your letter. I am not going to respond to it line by line, but I will say that the great majority of the facts as well as the statements and actions attributed to me in your letter are utter fabrications. I would have thought that a man of principle, as you purport to be, would have withdrawn from the project regardless of the money if you truly believed me to be the person you describe in your letter. I guess you only had a problem with me after Warner Brothers rejected your script."

Update: Mel Gibson clarified that he never said that John Lennon deserved to die.

More than once, anonymous posters to my articles at NowPublic.com/scrivener have associated John Lennon's death with a U.S. intel operation. His targeting, resulting from his political activism, is well-documented. The mentality of vengeance -- that "the end justifies the means" -- apparently is a dog whistle that resonates in sick minds, as reflected by Mel Gibon's rant.

Someday, maybe sooner than later, the truth about the funding of Mark David Chapman's travels in the weeks prior to Lennon's apparent political assassination will be told.

This interview was done about seven months after Lennon's assassination. The questions this reporter raises remain unanswered -- publicly:

Mel Gibson wants to star in a movie as a Maccabee -- and create a movie that glorifies Jews who opposed the all-powerful Roman power. Where is the anti-Semitism in that ? What am I missing here?

Gibson is being persecuted for his family's beliefs related to Jews. Specifically, his father questioned publicly if the Holocaust killed 6 million Jews how did they recover their numbers worldwide from London to New York to Sydney, etc. These questions are raised by historical revisionists and are the basis of much animosity in the Jewish community.

In my opinion Gibson's life has been subject to intimate infiltration, careful monitoring and destabilizing tactics of COINTELPRO/gang stalking. I believe that Mel Gibson is suffering for the Anti-Semitic beliefs of his family, and is, like a not insignificant number of gang stalking victims in America, A modern Amalek targeted by militant Judaism and the ultra-orthodox Jewish Extremists.

Way to turn it around and blame the victims of Gibson's hate rant, "Peacefrog!"

Thanks for convincing me once again that you're just another military contractor Jew-hating psyops goon, a third-class, community college-level disinformationist whose protestations against "gangstalking" deflect blame from the agencies and commands who have turned all-too-willing citizen vigilantes into the American Gestapo. You are swine, just like your overlords. My only hope is to see your hate-mongering torture matrix taken down, its leadership and key operatives put in federal prison, and flotsam like you in the unemployment line. http://VicLivingston.blogspot.com

Peacefrog is right. There's no anti-Semitism without ruthless, tribal Semitism that refuses to blame Israel for ANYTHING it does. (Israel gets its perpetual free pass from its clever co-option of the millions of deaths during WWII into being only about the "Holocaust of the Jews"). You, Scrivener, with your totally "tribal," (unAmerican) knee-reflex refusal to "spread the blame" for this heavily neoCon-influenced US secret police clampdown where it belongs (on the neoCons as well as others). Your attempts to attribute this wholescale betrayal of the Constitution solely to Opus Dei and Knights of Malta, etc, are a textbook example of the morally and intellectually castrating effects of blind Semitism.

Masons, Skull and Bones -- are they Catholic groups? By and large, no, they are dominated by WASPS. I never singled out any group for condemnation as you do with the Jews. It's my contention that there are good and bad actors in every faction, group, religion, etc. I do hold a special contempt for practitioners of lame military contractor psyops funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, third-rate operatives who made sadistic allusions to the Lockheed Martin/USG war criminal irradiation of my gonads, you cyberNazi bastard.

Agreed. However, you refuse to admit to any problem with Jewish groups such as Kahanist extremists that I've linked to. This stinks of Tribal nepotism, Jewish Supremacism, etc. Do you also deny Italian criminal groups, Colombian drug cartels, etc.? NO, you just take any criticism of any Jewish group or sect as a personal attack. That is sad because I believe that many Jews would be offended by these douche bags:

Wow, you cretins really do believe in guilt-by-association character assassination. I'm a largely non-observant Jew who calls you out as a hate-mongering incompetent (taxpayer-funded, apparently) and I'M the militant. Screw you and your black psyops, fascist in anti-"gangstalking" clothing.

Oh, and this: for a psyops agent, you are a SHITTY role-player! WHO THE HELL IS YOUR HANDLER? WHO CHECKS YOUR HOMEWORK? Another fratboy Nazi like you, no doubt! Have a nice evening!

Vic, you're the worst kind of Jew: You only bring up you being a Jew when you want to use it for a victim card. I've known some pretty cool Jews and some real douchebag "supreme race" Jews, the former never seem to play that victim ****.

PeaceFrog

I'm not claiming that Gibson was a target of the Jewish community writ large. However, if you look into the linked materials, like the ADL and JTF links, you will see that there are some Jews who adhere to fascist/racist/genocidal beliefs. If you wish to consider yourself part of that community then have a nice evening yourself and dwelleth apart.

Do you support this?:

The Klan held special contempt for "coons, kikes and Catholics." I suppose that makes us brothers....

PeaceFrog

at 09:58 on April 13th, 2012

No. What would make us like brothers is to denounce Klan-like behavior, whether it is being perpetrated by the Klan, Mafia, Militant Jewish Extremists (read Jewish Task Force and other Kahanist gangsters), etc.

Scrivener

I believe we have reached a rapproachment. Carry on with your psyop...even through you are on a mission of mitigation, that very fact is a strong condemnation of the grassroots Gestapo apparatus that multiple agencies and commands of the U.S. government and police nationwide have inflicted upon the American public.

The "Gestapo apparatus," chump, is being run by multiple agencies top heavy with Jewish-Americans whose loyalty to America comes last, if it enters into the equation at all.

Oh yeah, lots of Jews in key positions at the Secret Service, NSA, mil intel agencies, CIA -- like hardly any. You guys are a bunch of hate-mongering pinhead fascists and I have reason to believe that after a decade of being untouchable, you are about to get yours... under the rule of law that you and your overlords so arrogantly defy, and defile. You hate Jews? I'd like to give you another reason to hate Jews -- because this Jew wants to see the leaders and operatives of your slow-kill genocide rot in federal prison.

Yes, lots of Jews in key positions in SS, NSA, CIA, etc. This is the Land of Equal Opportunity, after all. Grow up and quite being a tribal cog. Adhere to morality, not geopoltical politics.

Jews are not over-represented in the Intelligence Agencies. However, for 2% of the population, they are not underrepresented either. Let's not forget DNI Clapper and former head of DHS Chertoff.

To get your wish, Scrivener, you'll be throwing lots of your co-ethnics into jail, too; you'd better believe it. This Police State Genocide and Rot at the Top is Equal Opportunity Rot. The Globalist s and their Central Banks don't give a hoot about the taxpaying peasants.

PeaceFrog, quite blowin' smoke; you don't know how many Jews, Mormons, Baptists, etc there are in any agency because this information is not collected -- and even if it were, it would not be published (because it's not supposed to matter in America).

PeaceFrog

The FBI and cia, drawn by a seemingly incorruptible rectitude, have instituted Mormon-recruitment plans.
http://www.lds-mormon.com/time.shtml

The Intelligence Agencies and DOD clearly hire and thus advance their employees more disproportionately from the Midwest and other more conservative regions. This is in line with their historical conservative bent. The Media, Hollywood, etc., tends to gravitate toward the liberal, Northeast and West Coast intelligentsia. This is in line with their historical liberal bent.

Okay, but a "bent" is not a percentage. Besides, infiltration of the secret police apparatus is the real issue.

No one has posted the Secret Service hookers story to NowPublic after more than 24 hours? Hmmm. My comment:

While the Secret Service and the military are investigating this incident, perhaps they can also probe why POTUS exhibits a profusion of facial moles, a gaunt look and physique; why VP Biden had those public sudden sleep spells; and why that teleprompeter shattered in mid-air, leaving the stand intact. Are our nation's top elected leaders under silent, invisible electromagnetic weapon attack? See this journalist's article, ASAP: http://viclivingston.blogspot.com/2011/12/u.html

"It's a trick, we always use it". (calling people anti-semitic, bringing up the holocaust, from the mouth of a former Israeli prime minister)
We keep hearing these outrageous things Mel Gibson says, but it always comes down to him speaking his mind usually using colorful language. His ex wife is alive and well and probably being a beeatch as always, and I don't think Mel has a Jew oven in his house so... I'll be concerned at what he does, not what he says.

I had the dubious pleasure of working on location on the set of a Dreamworks production some years ago, ("Almost Famous") and all the directorial positions were filled with Jews, the nepotism was obvious and you couldn't ignore some of the offhand disparaging remarks made about "goyas" being incompetent or dispensable. After that I've taken all of Gibson's comments about Jews in Hollywood with a sense of perspective. Surely he's been on the end of discrimination early in his career.
They have animosity towards others, others have animosity toward them. Push comes to shove, out comes the anti-semetic/holocaust card-they certainly earned it and have a right to use it, but how do you trump that? When the last WW2 survivor is buried, I guess.
I think he raised a good point when he said this guy didn't have any problem until his script was rejected. It's all about the money. Oy Vey!
