Me and the boys will be plotting our next move in the "financial crisis" over Rosh Hashanah dinner tonight, lol.
Where there's smoke, there's not always fire...sometimes it's just the smoke machine that was pulled out of some conspiracy theorist's ass.
But to answer your question IndianSummer...there are various professions in this country that are disproportinately filled with people of certain backgrounds, races or religions. Perhaps the fields in question simply hold great value within each of these groups' respective "communities," so there's a predisposition to members from these groups to enter the field. Still, I doubt there are nearly as many Jews in these positions as you're being led to believe.

For what it's worth, I've never felt most of our past and present "leaders" really give a shit about the "Jewish State" or "our strategic friend and ally in the Mideast." They only "care" because of the money and power held by those who truly care, by birthright.If I had known then what I know now...

or is there any other reason?
You are now making extremely broad statements that you are forcing to fit whatever sick, twisted thing you have for/against jews.
Who ever said that "cerebral and/or influential walks of like" are only those that you cited in your OP? Those seemed to all just revolve around banking or finance related activities. What about doctors/lawyers/engineers, etc? These are also cerebral/influential activities...and they aren't necessarily "ruled" by jews.
What is your point?0 -

that it is no coincidence that they are over-represented in all the top slots. its because they are brilliant. they are also clannish to a fault, but that doesnt erode their academic ability, if anything, it builds on it.I have faced it, A life wasted...

I mean these people are americans from a jewish confession, not Jews then americans. Or your point is that, taking the board exemple : 1 jew, 1 muslim and 3 christians would be more representative? But if so, what has their religion got to do with economics?The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

Also for every irish in usa who sympathizes with the irish cause, there are more than one ex-english (anglo-saxon) who similarly sides with the english cause.
it is for the same reason that usa plunged headlong into the first gulf war when saddam annexed kwait, which had historically always been the 18th province of iraq. but the brits had divided iraq before leaving (they essentially divided the oil fields of iraq, into those that lay below kwait and those that lay below iraq) and they wanted things to remain that way. so thacher M. paid bush Sr. a visit and anglo-saxon usa rushed to ensure that saddam paid dearly for daring to go against what poms had ordained, never mind the fact that iraq and its bond with kwait is twice as old as the anglo-saxon colonization of the celtic island, today known as Angel-land.I have faced it, A life wasted...
