Leo Strauss is widely unknown except among the quasi-intellectuals who infest the humanities departments of universities. This does not mean that he did not matter; far from it. He was part of the Long March Through The Institutions, the take over of Politics, the Education industry, the Main Stream Media, in particular Hollywood & even Christianity. You did know that the Archbishop Of Canterbury Is A Jew, didn't you?
Strauss specialized in Political Philosophy, an area with some very dubious participants, Karl Marx being one. Adolf Hitler is another.
Professor MacDonald, a psychologist who is the leading authority on group survival strategies comments on two books about Leo Strauss. His theme is that Strauss was a Jew driven by hatred of Europeans & their descendants in America, Australia, Canada et cetera. But he is a cunning liar, who managed to get his themes accepted by conservatives as well as their Useful Idiots. Professor MacDonald does not quite say that Strauss was cleverer than the White Men in academia as well as cunning, treacherous, full of hate but it is why he was so effective.
If you read the Wikipedia's article you might get the feeling that it is about a different Jew altogether. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.
Paul Gottfried & Claes Ryn On Leo Strauss
QUOTE
The academic life is probably like many careers in that ultimately you have to find an audience...... I suspect that if one did a study based on exit interviews of academics as they retired from the profession, not a few of them would express the feeling that the game was somehow stacked against them—that their work did not get the attention it deserved, that it should have been discussed in all the elite intellectual venues—the New York Times Book Review, the New York Review of Books, and ultimately, perhaps, become assigned reading in college courses everywhere. They should have been somebody.Lots of academics probably feel this way, but no one has so explicitly expressed it quite like Paul Gottfried has. In his recent VDARE.com piece, ”Claes Ryn, Allan Bloom, Leo Strauss, and Me,” Gottfried is clearly frustrated. He managed to get his book, Leo Strauss and the Conservative Movement in America, published by an elite academic publisher, Cambridge University Press—no mean feat. But intellectual fame and fortune haven’t happened, and Gottfried is not pleased:
I shall lay my cards on the table. I am outraged at how the usual suspects kept my book from being discussed. Despite my well-known views on certain delicate subjects, I tried to produce a fair study of a difficult topic and bent backward in showing sympathy for the movement’s founder and at least some of his disciples. The successful attempt to white out my work has annoyed me no end.
In order to explain this lack of attention, Gottfried refers to Claes Ryn’s “Allan Bloom and Straussian Alienation“:
The arguments marshaled by [Claes] Ryn indicate, as does my book, why Straussians reign in the NYT’s Sunday Book Review Section as well as in Conservatism, Inc. Although Ryn does not make this last point explicitly, perhaps for fear of reprisal, a fuller explanation is at least implicit in what he does tell us. His comments may also explain why my book, initially marketed by Cambridge with high hopes and considerable promo, received absolutely no attention in the national Main Stream Media.
For fear of the Straussians...........
Frustration happens only if one doesn’t understand how the contemporary world works. Once I finished The Culture of Critique, I was no longer naive enough to think that it would be discussed in the elite academic and popular media. And understanding why that is necessarily the case gives one a certain grim satisfaction—grim because the consequences of the rise of the new elite and their hatred toward the traditional people and culture of the West go far beyond any personal ambitions. The ideology that Western culture has no links to a particular people and their historical particularism is nothing less than a catastrophe for Western Civilization.

It is a long article which is worth the effort if you want to understand the reality of politics. Strauss is at the heart of the Conspiracy to destroy civilization.
Leo Strauss ex Wiki
Leo Strauss (September 20, 1899 – October 18, 1973) was a German–American political philosopher and classicist who specialized in classical political philosophy. He was born in Germany to Jewish parents and later emigrated to the United States. He spent most of his career as a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, where he taught several generations of students and published fifteen books.[1]Originally trained in the neo-Kantian tradition with Ernst Cassirer and immersed in the work of the phenomenologists Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, Strauss later focused his research on the Greek texts of Plato and Aristotle, retracing their interpretation through medieval Islamic and Jewish philosophy and encouraging the application of those ideas to contemporary political theory.[2]
