And again, I’m puzzled. Why does the threat of Islamic tyranny rile so many Americans? These are folks who shrug each time the Feds decree they’ll eavesdrop on more of our communications, who queue up at airport checkpoints despite the Transportation Security Administration’s strip-search X-ray machines, who condemn Social Security not for its communism but because its “benefits” aren’t munificent enough, who cheered as the government incinerated whole families at Waco and shot a mother holding her baby, a boy, and his dog at Ruby Ridge, who applaud the Warriors on Drug Users as they ruin life after life over a few joints or a gram of cocaine. Really, can Sharia law be any more dictatorial, merciless, or absurd?

I might also understand the abhorrence for Muslims were it directed against those who persecute our Christian brothers and sisters. But it isn’t: these emails never mention the Church militant; the authors seem neither to know nor to care that Christians under Islamic governments suffer horrendously. They are instead solely concerned for the neoconservative agenda — even if they have can’t get the story straight as to whether it’s Paris or New York that Moslem prayers endanger.

This is not rocket science but it does require shedding a few illusions, and there are actually two causes although one is used to play on the other.

1. Xenophobia i.e., an irrational fear of others who do not belong to one's group, race, religion, or locale. It has been given some interesting justifications, all false, throughout history.

A lot of terms have been invented simply to describe other people in terms of their "otherness". There is everything from the simple "them", "those people", or actual regional terms such as the Germanic "auslander" (outlander).

2. This is the created fear or irrational hatred which is brought about by government manipulation or by psychotics trying to get others to join them in a "good hate".

All governments that seek to control individual behavior both directly and indirectly have always found it "useful" to have someone other than themselves to have for people to focus on and attribute a threat to etc., ....

The current "bogeyman" is the Muslim. One can see the constant drumbeat of scare stories, fear mongering, intolerance, and open hatred echoing throughout the major media. If you begin watching for it you'll notice it cropping up everywhere in the major media. It is disguised and hidden as to what it is by terms such as "analysis", reports, etc., ..., but the common thread between all of them is that they encourage the emotion of fear. I would argue in fact that it is virtually impossible to hate someone unless you fear them. That fear does not require any basis in fact but simply the perception of fear, the sensation of fear.

So, we get the constant drumbeat of scare stories to inspire fear and then the subtle encouragements to hate - to focus on "the enemy". You know, "them", "those people", the "auslanders".

Annoyance and irritation over the invasion of one culture by another is not necessarily hate. It is the recognition that the "auslander" is simply different, possibly disruptive of the common culture, and may in fact have a different culture, language, and set of reactions to events in the environment, but it is not necessarily "hate". It is simply the recognition of a disruptive difference.

The current wave of hatred directed at Muslims is best viewed as Propaganda, a Psychological Manipulation, to focus group and individual attention to a perceived "threat" thus inspiring fear, and hence hatred. It is a created scenario and it its intent would seem clear - to justify actions taken by the government which would otherwise be opposed by large numbers of people.

Useful to know here is the "Third Party Law": "For a conflict to exist between two groups, or individuals", there must be a third party unknown to both who is agitating, encouraging, and creating the conflict."

The other point here to the manipulation is to direct attention away from real enemies to "perceived enemies" and giving cover to those creating the conflict from covert reasoning i.e., a hidden agenda.

At that point I think I'll pause the analysis rather than going in any depth as to what the agenda is, and whose it is, other than to say that it is a control agenda i.e., a means of exercising control and thus power over American Society.

Oh sure. You are the kind of flippant demon possessed Internet poster, that begged for Juan Williams to be fired from his otherwise extortionists.

You don't understand social/cultural shifts do you, OBIE-WAN? Man you have a lot to learn in life, pal.

Between space aliens, chemtrails, FEMA caskets and the belief that 9/11 was caused by "dancing Jews", beyond the Rothchild's directing the BP Gul oil disaster ... you need to get a life, too.

.. everyone thinking that there are any threats at all from our own Government

The "root cause" of problems you address are about the people that vote for governance. In effect, you address the symptoms as opposed to the causes.

Well, this just in, but the FedGov seems to have taken advantage of the situation and bunkered itself in and given itself overwhelming superiority in terms of weaponry, at the citizens' expense, to be able to overcome a 2A armed citizenry now, hasn't it.

WELL, HELLO!

And so do you think there shall be any "change?" Even a blood-curdling death-bath on the streets with hangings from the highest oak tree won't affect this apathetic nation. They will just watch the news and thank their respective gods that they weren't included in the lynchings ... and then off to work they go to pay their taxes... and vote the same old shit.

for some unknown reason why precisely that won't happen.

So, since you want to play some sort of mesmeric soothsayer or prognosticator .. what will happen?

You miss my point, I have no idea

And that is a serious problem. You don't possess substance or character to answer much less show principle of conviction.

Just holding out hope for the possibility.

Have you ever thought of joining a religious/political chit-chat channel? I think AKA Stone would welcome you under his cloak and associated mischief.

And BTW, I guess my biggest hope, apart from any control that we have however, which is why I didn't mention it, is a collapsing economy that buries the FedGov before the FedGov buries us.

I find your perspective curious at best. If the federal government collapses what makes you think that society (as a whole) can survive?

You, me, all of us emerged from The Great Shutdown of '95 unscathed, didn't we?

Not me. I am here in 2010 celebrating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
