A Show About Nothing and A Campaign For Everything
Larry David, RFK Jr., and the Mob World in New York...
Growing up I watched a lot of Seinfeld with my grandparents. To be honest I didn’t quite get it. A lot of comedy escapes me. Call it a character defect, I guess.
I hadn’t yet spent much time in New York nor had I given much thought to the angsts of thirty-something professionals when I was in my middle school years. Still it was nice to see my grandparents laugh.
A show about nothing delighted my Cold Warrior grandpa who took a break from his his retirement listening to classical music and reading spy novels to laugh at Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George. This was before 9-11, before the Iraq War, before Y-2K. The nineties were a great time to grow up but looking back on it, there’s a tinge of ominousness to the whole affair.
The creative genius behind Seinfeld was Larry David. There was a photo of him in Alan Dershowitz’s office, where I worked, and the Jews seemingly worshiped him. Maybe it’s a Jewish thing, I thought.
I hadn’t given much thought to Larry David until a few years ago when I learned that he had cussed out my old boss, Alan Dershowitz. Alan Dershowitz was always kind to me but it’s become harder and harder to ignore his overt fondness for the Israeli state—or his complicity in their crimes. David reportedly called Dershowitz “disgusting and said [I] could never talk to [him] again,” notes the Dersh.
What’s going on here?

If you spend a lot of time tucking into Larry David’s past you’ll notice that he joined the U.S. Army Reserves. David wrote about his experiences — humorously, of course — in The New York Times in 2004. There’s again a discussion about his time in the service in 2015 with Howard Stern—the same Howard Stern, mind you, who was granted a coveted Biden interview. I’m never more serious than when I’m joking, as Robert Frost once said.
I’ve had quite a lot of family in the Army Reserves and candidly what David describes seems like a cover, so maybe, it’s a cover story. Maybe he was allowed to exit the military because he was involved in the work of some other three letter agencies. Maybe they wanted someone to penetrate Hollywood.
His membership in the Jewish fraternity makes this a bit more clear. This is the sort of deep state Jewish world which is nearly always in opposition to the Jewish mob.
Call this the American Jewish deep state and count me a fan.
There have been all these odd details.
Reading the Wikipedia page you’ll notice this detail. Though Larry David graduated from college in 1970, his career began in 1980. That’s the period of a decade.
Isn’t it interesting how Larry David has five years of unexplained work?
The biography is oddly similar to that of the late Renaissance tech guru, Jim Simmons, whose own relationship with the NSA we’ve discussed elsewhere.
Isn’t it interesting how Larry David’s TV wife Cheryl on Curb Your Enthusiasm is married to RFK Jr whose son went to Ukraine? Are we not going to talk about how the RFK Jr. campaign is run by his daughter-in-law, an “ex” CIA gal?
Or how Larry David met his current wife Ashley Underwood at the home of alleged Mossad agent and actor-comedian Sacha Baron Cohen? (Did you really think he was acting when he did Netflix’s The Spy?)
Isn’t it interesting how Ashley field produced Cohen’s Who is America? show? And how his first wife Laurie produced Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth — one of the first pop culture films to take seriously global warming?
Let’s also note how every time Nicole Shanahan seems to get involved with a man — Sergey Brin (Russian-born), Elon Musk (South African-born) — they seem to get marginalized within their company—and then the CIA takes over.
Is there anything more feminist — anything more American — than coming from a troubled family, becoming a billionaire through marriage, and running for Vice President of a fringe political party?

We might also ask some questions about Jerry Seinfeld, especially after his latest interview with Bari Weiss. Seinfeld brings up the world “hierarchy” a few times and it’s an interesting tell, as it were of how he sees the world through that kind of analysis.
I’ve written about Weiss’s ties to foreign intelligence before but I haven’t really tucked into Seinfeld.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Jeffrey Epstein and Jerry Seinfeld used to dress alike. Not that that’s a bad thing, of course. We here at this Substack think that Jeffrey Epstein died a patriot and that his character arc presents the best alternative for some of the compromised players dotting the landscape.
Jerry Seinfeld’s father Kalmen, aka Kal Seinfeld, was a friend and neighbor of Gambino crime family boss Carlo Gambino, as detailed in a biography of his son Jerry. This is not normal stuff but it did create a “sense of hierarchy.”
The relationship between the Italian mafia and the Central Intelligence Agency started to fray at exactly the same time that Seinfeld (1989-1998) became popular. A young Rudy Giuliani was hunting down Italian mafiosa — only to replace them with the Russian-Jewish mafia. To be sure there’s tinges of the mafia world in Seinfeld itself — namely with the character of Kramer.
A friend directed me to this video of Rudy Giuliani talking about non-fat yogurt and all the rigamarole that went into having Giuliani on the show. You can hear Julia Louis-Dreyfus — herself plugged into the French deep state — saying sarcastically, “Wasn’t it nice of Giuliani to do that [win the mayoral race in an upset]”?
Partly the financing is to blame for those mob ties. Steve Bannon, backed by the Russian Mafia and anyone else who will send him a check for years, was involved in producing Seinfeld. Such a fact ought to make us think harder about what was going on here. A lawyer Bannon introduced me to is deeply enmeshed in Russian-Jewish mafia and hedge fund circles — I repeat myself — as their putative fixer.
A friend of mine makes an argument that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was always very Russian — “at least since the 1930s.” In his telling the Russian-Jewish mafia was let into America after the break up of the Cold War. This is what gave us Jeffrey Epstein and to a lesser extent all the Russian-Jewish capital being poured into our tech, real estate, and entertainment industries.
There’s this other plausible argument that this period wasn’t normal—and that a new era is unfolding. But who will be the dominant player?
Jerry Seinfeld is 70 years old while Larry David is 76 — a Boomer versus a Silent Generation. For some reason the older generations seem quite younger, more spry.
In his interview with Weiss, Seinfeld breaks down when talking about his visit to Israel. “You know,” he says in one of the few times he was rendered speechless.
But does Weiss really know?
We’re still waiting for Seinfeld to speak clearly but maybe he can’t.
