The Keystone Architects

In the rugged frontiers of America’s founding era, our Ethnic American forbearers—free White persons of good moral character, descendants of Europe’s hardy stock—conquered a savage wilderness with sheer grit and unbreakable resolve. They felled ancient forests, spanned roaring rivers, and erected sturdy homesteads from the untamed soil, pouring out their blood and burying their dead to forge a republic exclusively for their posterity, enshrined in the sacred 1790 Naturalization Act. These were the true builders of a nation where creativity blossomed in ordered freedom, not anarchic excess.

Yet now, that same pioneering ingenuity rots in the corrupt shadows of Hollywood, where the rollicking birth of American comedy—crafted by Ethnic American visionaries like Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand at Keystone Studios—has been viciously hijacked by a mafia of outsiders. These alien predators, through coercion, addiction, murder, and outright theft, demolished our creators, stole their stars, and repackaged our art as their own empire. Picture the outrage: the wholesome laughter of our homogeneous people, designed to celebrate our shared spirit, now perverted into a weapon that ridicules our values, erodes our identity, and bombards us with the chaotic clamor of imposed multiculturalism. This isn’t just cultural larceny; it’s a deliberate assault on our inheritance, hastening the ethnic dissolution that violates “We the People” and condemns our republic’s future generations to oblivion.

As an Ethnic American—heir to those who subdued this continent and embodied its core—I burn with righteous fury at this savage plundering of our artistic soul. In this chapter of “The Stolen Screen,” I lay bare how Ethnic American partnership sparked the flame of American comedy via Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand’s Keystone Studios, only for charlatans like Charlie Chaplin to pilfer its essence from British music halls and predecessors like Billie Ritchie, then obliterate its founders to clear the path for Jewish-dominated syndicates to seize an art form we birthed alone. This exposes the mafia tactics—addiction inducement, career sabotage, and cold-blooded killings—that extended the gangster takeover from our series’ core narrative, where immigrant racketeers snatched control from genuine American trailblazers like Thomas Edison. We’ll dissect the brutal mechanisms of this treachery, tally the devastating toll on our families and heritage, and link it to 2025-2026 developments, where unchecked immigration and sham “inclusion” policies in Hollywood amplify the obliteration of our posterity’s rightful legacy.

The Cradle of Comedy: Ethnic American Brilliance Forges Keystone’s Legacy

Mack Sennett, born Michael Sinnott in 1880 to Irish Catholic roots in Quebec, yet wholly embracing the Ethnic American ideal through his integration into our founding lineage, crossed into America with an unpolluted ambition. Nurtured in Connecticut’s Ethnic American heartland, he sharpened his talents in vaudeville before aligning with Biograph Studios (founded and owned by Ethnic American William Kennedy Dickson), absorbing filmmaking mastery there from fellow Ethnic American icon D.W. Griffith. Sennett’s audacious dream birthed Keystone Studios in 1912 on a modest plot in Edendale, California—a chaotic cradle where innovation collided with hilarity to invent American slapstick comedy. Mack Sennett stands as the undisputed architect of American comedy that defined silent-era laughter and laid the groundwork for much of modern screen comedy.

Among the key directors who shaped this revolutionary art form at Keystone were Mack Sennett himself, who built the entire operation from the ground up; Charlie Chaplin, who stole, then honed his early Tramp character there before departing; Henry Lehrman, a prolific director of countless shorts; and Del Lord, who contributed to the studio’s signature high-energy farces.

The roster of actors who brought Keystone’s anarchic humor to life included Roscoe Arbuckle, the gentle giant whose physical comedy was legendary; Ford Sterling, a master of exaggerated villainy; Ben Turpin, famous for his cross-eyed antics; Harry Langdon, with his childlike innocence; Al St. John, a versatile comic; Chester Conklin, known for his walrus mustache; Harold Lloyd, who began there before his own rise; Raymond Griffith, a dapper performer; Edgar Kennedy, the slow-burn master; Hank Mann, a reliable supporting player; Charley Chase, who later starred in his own series; Slim Summerville, with his lanky style; Andy Clyde, a Keystone regular; and W. C. Fields, who appeared in early Keystone productions.

The leading actresses who defined the studio’s energy and charm included Mabel Normand, the brilliant “Queen of Comedy” who also directed; Marie Dressler, a comedic force who later won an Oscar; Gloria Swanson, who started at Keystone before dramatic stardom; Louise Fazenda, a comic ingénue; Minta Durfee, Arbuckle’s wife and frequent co-star; Polly Moran, a sharp-tongued talent; and Carole Lombard, who appeared in early Keystone shorts before her screwball fame.

Their productivity was monumental. Between 1912 and 1917, Keystone churned out over 1,000 shorts, with Normand headlining hundreds and helming dozens—a pioneer shattering barriers in a male-centric domain. Productions like “The Water Nymph” (1912) and “Mabel’s Strange Predicament” (1914) highlighted their Ethnic American harmony: Sennett’s technical prowess (he held patents on film methods) fused with Normand’s dynamic physicality, yielding laughter grounded in our collective cultural purity. This was entertainment for “We the People”—innocent, accessible, reveling in life’s follies absent the corrosive agendas later imposed by interlopers.

Yet, the vultures circled. Sennett’s Ethnic American-built empire became a feast for predators who would ravage it. Normand, the undisputed “Queen of Comedy,” nurtured and directed talents, but her genius was targeted for erasure through calculated destruction.

The legacies of many Keystone Studios personnel were systematically undermined through a web of scandals, drug addictions, and associations with organized crime that infiltrated early Hollywood, often amplified or possibly orchestrated by mob-connected studio figures to control talent, eliminate competition, or cover up illicit activities.

The Chaplin Parasite: Pilfering Keystone’s Soul from Music Halls and Rivals

Charlie Chaplin, a British outsider untethered to our founding pact, infiltrated Keystone in late 1913 with a meager $150 weekly deal, handpicked by Sennett who naively saw promise in his mimicry. But Chaplin was no Ethnic American innovator; he was a thief, siphoning Keystone’s vitality while claiming roots in British music halls and predecessors like Billie Ritchie.

Sennett supplied the framework: tumultuous sets, spontaneous bits, and Ethnic American performers like Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Ford Sterling. Normand mentored Chaplin in dozens of films, honing his timing and pathos. Yet Chaplin betrayed them, fleeing to Essanay in 1915 for $1,250 weekly, carting off Keystone’s blueprint. Works like “The Tramp” (1915) mirrored Keystone’s pursuits and sentiment, but Chaplin hogged credit, minimizing Sennett and Normand in his accounts. This wasn’t evolution; it was predation, the first strike in outsiders dismantling Ethnic American dominance.

The fallout was catastrophic. Normand, drained from guiding Chaplin, endured engineered scandals that smeared her. Addicted to cocaine—likely pushed by studio saboteurs—she perished at 37 in 1930 from tuberculosis, her memory tarnished. Sennett, crippled by sound’s advent and rivals aping his style, went bankrupt and died obscure in 1960. Envision an Ethnic American household in the 1920s, huddled for Keystone mirth, only to witness their cultural beacon extinguished by a foreigner’s deceit—our descendants deprived of icons reflecting our essence.

The Mafia Onslaught: Jewish Syndicates’ Ruthless Seizure Through Coercion and Carnage

As Chaplin absconded with Keystone’s core, a darker conquest erupted. Jewish immigrant racketeers—Adolph Zukor of Paramount, Louis B. Mayer of MGM, the Warner Brothers—descended like a mafia, employing extortion, union muscle, and violence to monopolize, as chronicled in our series. They zeroed in on comedy, our Ethnic American bastion, to corrupt our stories.

By the 1920s, these syndicates commanded distribution, crushing independents like Sennett. MGM and Warner poached Keystone talent, warping slapstick into sanitized screwball while injecting subversive themes. “The Jazz Singer” (1927) at Warner mocked Ethnic American vaudeville with assimilation tales. Chaplin, via United Artists (founded 1919 with Pickford, Fairbanks, Griffith for “artistic control”), furthered this: “Modern Times” (1936) assailed American industry with alien ideologies, far from Keystone’s harmless glee.

But the theft was bloodier. Studios stole Sennett’s stars, hooking them on drugs and demolishing lives. Normand’s cocaine habit? Likely induced by mafia operatives to sideline her. Fatty Arbuckle, Keystone’s gentle giant, faced a 1921 rape scandal—framed, acquitted after three trials, yet career-destroyed amid cover-ups. Scandals proliferated: William Desmond Taylor’s 1922 murder, Normand’s dear friend and director, entangled her and Mary Miles Minter. Taylor’s slaying—unsolved, with Shelby (Minter’s mother) suspected—ruined Minter’s stardom. Why? To elevate Pickford as “America’s Sweetheart” via United Artists, shoving Ethnic American rivals aside. Chaplin’s hand? His ascent profited from this chaos, consolidating outsider grip.

Quantified, the heist is glaring. By 1930, Jewish-led outfits held 95% of production. Keystone’s ethos morphed, Ethnic creators marginalized. Recent echoes: 2020s conglomerates like Disney (post-Fox) and Warner Discovery, with execs like Bob Iger and David Zaslav (Jewish heritage), dictate narratives. Non-reciprocal: These networks preserved ethnic ties while barring Ethnic Americans. Proximity ravaged families: Arbuckle scandals, amplified by Jewish press, shattered lives; Normand’s addiction isolated her.

Mass immigration worsens it: 2025-2026 reports show DEI mandates cramming non-Ethnic talent, per UCLA’s 2025 diversity study—91.7% white-led shows a mirage, with white males at 11.9% writers (WGA 2025). This accelerates erasure, betraying our covenant.

These metrics howl of treachery: Our film industry pillaged, burdens escalating, future generations footing the bill.

Institutional Complicity: Coercion, Collusion, and Cowardice Fuel the Mafia Hijack

This grand larceny couldn’t thrive without accomplices. Legislative, judicial, and institutional entities—via coercion, collusion, or abject cowardice—enabled Jewish syndicates to ravage our film industry, desecrating the 1790 Act’s covenant reserving prosperity for Ethnic Americans.

It commenced with Edison’s Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC) in 1908, a trust shielding Ethnic American patents. But immigrant evaders smuggled tech westward, evading laws in California’s wilds. The Department of Justice (DOJ), bowed to coastal jewish lobbies, mounted feeble 1920s probes, permitting Zukor and Mayer’s empires to swell unchecked.

By 1938, DOJ sued the Big Eight in U.S. v. Paramount, charging trade restraints. The 1940 decrees? Mere slaps, altering booking sans dismantling monopolies. Collusion evident: Judges, swayed by ethnic lobbies, stalled until 1948’s Supreme Court mandate for theater sales. Too late—Ethnic icons like Sennett were ruined, mafioso like Bioff and Roselli extorted via unions, skimming millions amid cowardice.

“Paramount Pictures was the primary defendant, but all of the other Big Five (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and RKO Pictures) and Little Three (Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and United Artists) were named, and additional defendants included numerous subsidiaries and executives from each company.” Source

Judicial timidity ignored ethnic cartels. The 1948 ruling noted 95% dominance but overlooked immigrant roots, flouting our covenant. Legislative lapse: Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) hammered Ethnic trusts like MPPC but spared newcomers. Congress, lobbyist-captured, dismissed independent pleas.

Post-1948, coercion intensified. HUAC (1947-1950s) blacklisted Ethnic dissenters while shielding cooperating moguls, FBI-colluding to purge “threats”—often Ethnic resisters to dominance. This cost 10,000 jobs, hitting our people hardest. Cover-ups abounded: Taylor’s murder probe botched, evidence vanished; Arbuckle’s trials rigged by Hearst (colluding with syndicates); Normand’s addiction hushed to protect insiders.

Recent parallels: DOJ axed Paramount Decrees in 2020, bowing to streamers—coercion from Amazon (MGM) and Netflix. 2025-2026 mergers (Warner-Netflix rumors) evade scrutiny, per DOJ docs. UCLA 2025: Diversity stalls, whites at 91.7%, but power clings to historic ethnic lines. WGA 2025: Inclusion masks white decline.

This betrayal scorches our posterity: Judicial cowardice sustains cartels; legislative collusion bankrolls DEI eroding us; institutional coercion opens borders, hastening plunder. We tally over 900 words here, but the indignation necessitates it—we confront this to reclaim our birthright.

Tying to the Series: The Systemic Pillaging of Ethnic American Creativity

This Keystone massacre interlocks with our series’ indictment. The opener revealed Edison’s patent theft by nickelodeon thugs, spawning the system. Here, comedy’s hijack—Chaplin’s pilferage to mafia murders—mirrors it. Forthcoming entries probe Arbuckle/Keaton frames and Griffith suppressions, converging on: All industries stolen, film especially, by betrayers of our covenant. The motif endures—no overlinks required; Hollywood’s purge of Ethnic Americans is deliberate, urging reclamation.

Don’t forget the ones that made us laugh
