What's It All About?

This is about a world financial implosion, and the eventual creation of a one-world government along with a universal currency.

The Zionists, who control the Federal Reserve, have used fiat credit to create an enormous inflation for the past 40 years. They used this wealth transfer to buy hard assets, especially monetary metals such as gold, as well as oil, knowing the coming financial crisis will demand a new currency, and that currency will be commodity-based. The only reason we are in Iraq is so Israel can control the world's oil, of which Iraq has massive reserves. Their final targets are Iran, and Venezuela, due to those nations also having massive oil reserves.

The ensuing world depression will collapse prices, enabling those holding certain commodities to be in a position to buy everything for pennies. The best part for the Zionist elite, is that will all be blamed on the Muslims.

WAR ON TERROR Does al-Qaida have 20 suitcase nukes? Author claims bin Laden purchased them in '98 from ex-KGB agents for $30 million

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: October 2, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2002 http://WorldNetDaily.com

Editor's note: The following story was posted on Oct. 2. For an update, see 'Bush, Blair warned of bin Laden nukes'

A new book by an FBI consultant on international terrorism says Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network purchased 20 suitcase nuclear weapons from former KGB agents in 1998 for $30 million.

The book,"Al Qaeda: Brotherhood of Terror," by Paul L. Williams, also says this deal was one of at least three in the last decade in which al-Qaida purchased small nuclear weapons or weapons-grade nuclear uranium.

Williams says bin Laden's search for nuclear weapons began in 1988 when he hired a team of five nuclear scientists from Turkmenistan. These were former employees at the atomic reactor in Iraq before it was destroyed by Israel, Williams says. The team's project was the development of a nuclear reactor that could be used "to transform a very small amount of material that could be placed in a package smaller than a backpack."

"By 1990 bin Laden had hired hundreds of atomic scientists from the former Soviet Union for $2,000 a month – an amount far greater that their wages in the former Soviet republics," Williams writes. "They worked in a highly sophisticated and well-fortified laboratory in Kandahar, Afghanistan."

This work continued throughout the 1990s, the author says.

In 1993, according to the book, Jamal Ahmed al-Fadl, a bin Laden agent who turned into a Central Intelligence Agency source, purchased for al-Qaida a cylinder of weapons-grade uranium from a former Sudanese government minister who represented businessmen from South Africa. The purchase price was $1.5 million and the uranium was tested in Cyprus and transported to Afghanistan.

Al-Fadl reported that, at the time of this transfer, al-Qaida was already working on a deal for suitcase nukes developed for the KGB.

Williams says the Russian Mafia made another mysterious deal with "Afghani Arabs" in search of nuclear weapons in 1996. The Russians who sold the material now live in New York.

Then again in 1998, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim was arrested in Munich and charged with acting as an al-Qaida agent to purchase highly enriched uranium from a German laboratory.

That same year, according to Williams, bin Laden succeeded in buying the 20 suitcase nukes from Chechen Mafia figures, including former KGB agents. The $30 million deal was partly cash and partly heroin with a street value of $700 million.

"After the devices were obtained, they were placed in the hands of Arab nuclear scientists who, federal sources say, 'were probably trained at American universities,'" says Williams.

Though the devices were designed only to be operated by Soviet SPETZNAZ personnel, or special forces, al-Qaida scientists came up with a way of hot- wiring the bombs to the bodies of would-be martyrs, according to the book.

Suitcase nukes are not really suitcases at all, but suitcase-size nuclear devices. The weapons can be fired from grenade or rocket launchers or detonated by timers. A bomb placed in the center of a metropolitan area would be capable of instantly killing hundreds of thousands and exposing millions of others to lethal radiation.

Yossef Bodansky, author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America" and the U.S. Congress' top terrorism expert, concurs that bin Laden has already succeeded in purchasing suitcase nukes. Former Russian security chief Alexander Lebed also testified to Congress that 40 nuclear suitcases disappeared from the Russian arsenal after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Williams quotes an anonymous federal official as saying: "The question isn't whether bin Laden has nuclear weapons, it's when he will try to use them."

In addition to the suitcase nukes, Williams reports that al-Qaida has also obtained chemical weapons from North Korea and Iraq. Williams says the FBI confirmed to him that Saddam Hussein provided bin Laden with a "gift" of anthrax spores.

Williams says al-Qaida also includes in its arsenal plague viruses, including ebola and salmonella, from the former Soviet Union and Iraq, samples of botulism biotoxin from the Czech Republic, and sarin from Iraq and North Korea.

Paul Williams is a buffoon. He claimed al-Qaida had plans for a nuclear bomb. Turned out the "plans" were from a spoof site called The Journal of Irreproducble Results. Those "plans" included making part of the bomb from PlayDoh.

I wonder why the capture of this sophiticated lab has not been trumpeted by the MSM as proof of al-Qaida plans to use WMDs? Simple, the lab does not exist and never has.

Phaedrus can't help it. His entire life has been based on his parasitic existence within the establishment financial apparatus. This is what the Russians commonly refer to as an apparatchik.

And, though he may not have been a direct employee of the government or a political party, per se, he is still a functionary of the public banking system. He is also what can be referred to as a "bonehead" since, though highly educated, is unable to function or think in any capacity outside of the very paradigm he has been indoctrinated in.

This leads to shilling in defense of that paradigm. It is a sad sickness, otherwise known as robotoid botitis.

The US taxpayers give to the federal reserve one billion dollars each and every day. This is 3.5% of our entire gdp. Virtually all of this money we give them ends up as profit because they have virtually no expenses by comparison that they must incur to earn this money. The billion dollars a day we give them direct from the US taxpayers compares to a billion and a half dollars a day the taxpayers actually spend on social security recipients today. The reason we give the federal reserve this money is because the federal reserve is charged with creating new money. THis is a money-creation service fee.

Individual persons who happen to be jewish have done good things, just like individual persons who happen to be jewish have done bad things. But you, like the anti-semite, lumps all jews together like they are some big homogenous lump so that they all get credit for the good, or bad, that was effected by individuals.

The exception, of course, would be if you can show that the organized jewish religion specifically guides its members to do a good or bad thing as a collective endeavor independent of other groups or cultural influences.

The Jews are a religious and/or ethnic group. No need to guess, they'll tell you who they are. On average, their IQ tests some 15 points above the norm -- they are very bright. Their contributions to society and/or achievements as measured by Nobel Prizes, or any other substantive measure you would care to mention, is out of proporiton, higher, than that of other groups. That is the "collective" I am referring to.

You confirm my point. You make the same mistake that anti-semites make. You lump them all together and give them blanket credit for the achievements of individuals. The anti-semite does the same but condemns them all based upon the crimes of individuals.

The money that they 'lend' to the federal government is created by the act of lending it. It is not as though they actually had the money to lend. They did not even have 1% of the money at the time when they lent it. they created the money from thin air when they lent it. Therefore, the money they get paid for this service is a money creation service fee.

We should do what we did when the nation was young. We should create this money as a government and simply use the money to cover government expenses. This is how it was done in the early days of America. This is how we should do it again. This is what Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy both started to do before they were murdered.

The money creation system we've had since 1913 has been a disaster. It has meant massive increase in money supply way beyond what we need. The government system of doing the money creation was much better, it worked for us. This new system only causes financial disaster. Constant debt. And huge enrichment of a very few rich spoiled people who did nothing to earn this money.

And it is true that the large majority of the individuals who own the federal reserve are jews. and it is true that about half of them are foreigners. Bush and bush-bots talk negatively about france. But they send huge amounts of taxpayers' dollars to individuals in france, germany & england just for this money creation fee I'm talking about. Every day hundreds of millions of dollars goes from the taxpayer to european individuals for this.

When the federal reserve was founded it was founded with an investment of 4.5 million dollars. It is not as though they had money when they lent it. The money was created by the act of lending it.

The king of england took less than 1% of our entire economy from us each year in the form of taxes. The federal reserve takes 3.5%, and a large portion of that goes to Europe.

Tull: And least we forget Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.

Not to mention AIPAC, ADL, JDL...That's exactly what this country needed, international spies, domestic snitches, and terrorist bombers.

Does mentioning any of this make me an anti-semite? Why does that rule only apply to Jews, why is it I can make a remark about blacks, italians, arabs, Canadians, basically anyone and usually no one cares, but almost everywhere on the web (except here of course, thank you chris and Zipp) there is like a SWAT team ready at all times anytime Jewish power is threatened. That is prima fascia evidence of some sort of ethnic/religious lobby, especially when like ten different posters have same obscure minutiae.

Notice how any negative publicity of any Jew is without fail countered by "the jooooooooooos" in an attempt to make the messenger look ignorant. What, can't like for or five Jews get together and do something without clearing it with the rest of the tribe? That's another sign of collectivism, borg style.

I like the Jews.. I've had good business dealings with them, in fact.

Tell you the truth, I had a Jewish man forgive $2000.00 dollars in his own fees, because he felt it was morally incorrect to bill me for them under the circumstances. Incidentally, he had every right to do so, he earned the money, fair and sqaure. I contracted for it and was expecting the full bill, just as we had agreed upon.

Should I attribute this man's grace to all Jews? Likewise, should I attribute the complete and total nonsense of the ADL to Jewish people everywhere?

I think that's the point Buzzcut was trying to make when you cut him off.

I'm German, BTW. Got a German name.. I look the part. Didn't matter to the man I mentioned above one iota. He judged me as an individual, as opposed to a member of some ethnic bloc and all the ridiculous stereotypes that accompany that.

Have you noticed ANSWER and the entire anti-war crowd are completely AWOL.

I've been thinkng about this. The draft was a huge factor driving the youth movement and we don't have this yet. But I think the world was just richer back then and kids had more time to screw around with stuff like the anti-war business.

Kids then didn't feel like they only had one shot at life. They believed they could go to school when it suited them and mess around in the meantime. This actually worked out for them. I think there was just more wealth and the resulting freetime allowed people to get active in politics. Nobody had a working wife and nobody seemed to work a lot of overtime like they do today.

I moved out when I was really young and I never had any trouble supporting myself. Mostly I had a job, I owned a car, I lived in an apartment and I had lots of free time to raise hell. I never slept outside and never missed a meal. A kid would have to work three jobs to do this nowdays, if he could get the jobs away from the Mexicans. I moved from DC to San Francisco with fifty bucks in my pocket knowing I could easily find a job and support myself. Kids are too much under the gun today to do anything but think about surviving and getting ahead.

In contrst, I think I usually made about $400 per month, my good running used VW cost $300, my rent was $35.00 per month and a quart of beer cost 35 cents. A bottle of wine was a buck and a quarter. A gallon of gas was 28 cents. It cost 4 or 5 bucks to get into the Cow Palace and see bands depending on the night. I think I was better off when I was 19 than I am now.

I think that's what a lot of people don't understand about the 1960s with the Great Society and the long 24/7 party. People could afford these things back then. That was the big difference between then and now. If you wanted to hang out, you could work half time at a pretty much minimum wage job and survive in a decent apartment down by the park. That's basically what everyone did.

College was different too. Then school was basically free, the kids rent was less than $35 per month, the mortgage was $75, the dad made $15k - $20K per year and putting the kid through school was no sweat.

Now the dad makes $100k, tuition is $25K, the kids rent is $1500 per month, the mortgage is $2500 and everyone is too serious to go dance nekked in the park.

Me: I kinda have to. I've read so many reputable places that the Jews test at the top of world in IQ that I'm going to need more than an anti-semitic website to change my mind. I'm going to have to see all kinds of support, not bald statements and unsupported statistics.

Let me expand a little on this so you don't think I'm just making stuff up. The following is from The Bell Curve, Herrnstein and Murray, Copyright 1994, at page 275:

"Jews - specifically Ashkenazi Jews of European origins - test higher than any other ethnic group. A fair estimate seems to be that Jews in America and Britain have an overall IQ mean somewhere between a half and a full standard deviation above the mean, with the source of the difference concentrated in the verbal component."

This is a significant difference and I've run into it in numerous places. Most recently, I ran into it in Mothers, Leadership, and Success by Guy Odom, copyright 1989. The Bell Curve is copiously footnoted and documented, the point being that it has high credibility. When I am shown data completely at odds with this (post #57) and undocumented as to source, I question it. This is appropriate since the site is clearly very anti-semitic.

There is controversy as to why the Jews as a group have a superior IQ but not as to that they do.

So, we have learned the Jews are a monolithic bloc when one is saying good things about them..

However, individual bad acts are aberrations and must not be attributed to the people as a whole?

That’s pretty much it, isn’t it?

That would be the Phaedrus doctrine. But, if you point that out, you are just being silly, making too fine of distinctions and getting all semantic on him. ;-)

I don't want to debate a person who uses language as sloppily as you do and when shown his error just sloughs it off as irrelevant semantics or fine distinctions.

I found this thread interesting so I followed it through.

First of all, It's hard to believe this guy Phaedrus is 62 based on his undercurrent of insecurity inherent in his responses. Having owned a company could be part of the reason. If it were a large company, he would have been conditioned to be the arrogant person he appears to be.

But the constant references to "winning the debate", his jealousy of BTP Holdings and his attempts at belittling others really leaves me feeling sorry for this maladjusted miscreant.

He is incapable of civil debate with respect for the other side.

But of course this is just my "ignorant two bit analysis" or some defensive response along those lines.

Bottom line.......

Life is too short to waste it on cretinous yahoos.

Claims to have been a CFO of a small corporation, which is a part of the underlying problem as I pointed out earlier. JMHO, but the responses we have seen thus far tend to prove it out. HIs tactic is to get you to admit to anything, no matter how small, and then claim victory. Such a waste of time to try to discuss with someone who is so condescending.

that not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews.

You just can't put it any better than that.

I know a lot of Jews. My brother-in-law is one and we're great pals. Yeah,he's loaded and has a very succesful business. He's also a philanthropist and he sure as hell is not a Zionist.

When I took my first job as a teenager,the business owner was a Jew. He treated me like a son and I won't forget him. Once again,he was not a Zionist.

On my second job as a teenager,I worked for another one. He was the owner of a very large retail chain of stores. Yep, he was filthy rich and lived in the largest mansion in the area. That man built whole wings on hospitals with his own money. He also donated incredible sums of money to local charities and helped to expand a local University by building a new state of the art performing arts center and a new "Chapel"...a Protestant chapel at that. He died a few years ago and willed his entire mansion and land which included a private golf course to the University....He was not a Zionist.

That's just a few examples.

Phaedrus wants to lump everyone who opposes Zionism as anti-Semites. He just doesn't get it and he using the same old tired finger pointing techniques to corral everyone into the same camp. Phaedrus is just paranoid and a baiter. I agree with Phaedrus that jews have made tremendous contributions to this country but most likely very few were Zionists.

Yes Phaedrus...there is a difference whether you want to admit it or not. Insulting everyone and calling names to those opposed to Zionism is just plain nonsense.

JewsNotZionists

WHY IS WORLD JEWRY OPPOSED TO THE ZIONIST STATE

1) What is "The people of Israel" ?
 -The people of Israel have existed for thousands of years.
-It has its own particular, essential, nature.
-The Torah is the source of its essential nature.
-Without Torah and faith there is no people of Israel.
-Whoever denies the Torah and the Faith is no longer part of the people of 
Israel.
-The purpose of the People of Israel in this world is Divine service.
-Their salvation is occupation in Divine Service. 
2) What is Zionism ? 
 -Zionism is a new thing.
-It has only existed for a century.
-Zionism redefines the true essential nature of the people of Israel, and 
substitutes for it a completely contradictory and opposite character.
- a materialistic worldly nation.
-Their misfortune is lack of what other nations have. i.e. a state and army.
-Their salvation is possession of a state and army etc.
- This is clearly speed out in the circles of Zionist though, and among the 
leaders of the Zionist state, That through changing the nature and character 
of the people of Israel and by changing their way of thinking they can set 
before the People of Israel "their salvation." -- a state and an army.

I find it interesting that you are going out of your way to find something insulting in Grumble's posts. If you don't know the difference between Zionism, and Judaism, then apparently the problem you really have is ignorance.

There's a difference between Jewish people, and Zionists. Jewish people are just like everyone else. They work, they have families, they take care of their communities, and are mostly hard working, upstanding citizens, just like everyone else. They believe in the American Dream, and do not work to bring that system down, or destroy the country that gave them the oppurtunities to succeed.

Jewish people are fine so long as they don't want the United States to be their bitch, which is what Zionism is about, ie, mopping up the middle east with unjust wars, killing off all of Israel's enemies, while selling sensitive technologies to America's enemies. Which Israel has done, by selling the Aegis systems we gave to them, to China.

But I digress. Zionism, or Zionists are people who don't give a shit about anyone, but Israel, and think the world owes them everything they want, desire, and need. Such as the billions of dollars in aid we funnel to Israel every year, or how we are mired in the Middle East, with no exit strategy. American soldiers are dying so that Israel can have its own oil pipelines, again, built at the expense of the American Taxpayer.

So, now that you know the difference between Jews, and Zionists, you have no excuse to find what Grumble says offensive, seeing as how you went personal before Grumble actually got a chance to educate you.

Of course now, I'm probably an anti-semite right???

So many morons, so few bullets.

Phaedrus did the same thing to me on the Scalia thread. You can find this by searching my posts to him. It should come up right away as I haven't really posted to him since.

As Phaedrus' arguments fall apart he gets hypersensitive. He begins to take everything as a personal attack. Eventually he puts the person on bozo and then cowardly insults the person from behind the bozo filter. It's his MO. You can see this on the thread I referenced at the beginning of this post.

I see elsewhere you asked for a definition of the term "Zionist"

I don't know what it means and I won't pretend I do, but speaking for myself the Jews I hate are just like all the other people I hate.

They're the ones constantly on the march with some new and stupid idea about what freedoms or degree of sovereignty we should voluntarily give up to makes everything all nice and fair or multicultural or whatever.

I'm fucking sick of it. We've been doing this dance to the bottom for years and all they can do is suggest new ways to inconvenience society for the express benefit of a select (and usually deviant) few.

"Hate Crimes" and "Hate Speech" would be good examples.

What is Zionism ? -Zionism is a new thing. -It has only existed for a century. -Zionism redefines the true essential nature of the people of Israel, and substitutes for it a completely contradictory and opposite character. - a materialistic worldly nation.

And so on. This not at all clear, Christine, and we encounter a new term, "The People of Israel". As I have done above with reference to Jews as a group, in your own brief words, please explain the essential distinctions between Jews as a group and Zionists, along with why the Jews are laudable people and the Zionists are evil. I don't think this is too much to ask if the thinking behind the verbal distinction is adequate.

I note that the website you link is pro- Palenstinian and I think suicide bombing is heinous by any sane standard, particularly when children are used for this activity.

More generally, link- chasing can be a way of attempting to divert the opponent in a debate and bury him/her in material. I don't think that is your intent, which is why I have responded in this fashion. I don't debate that way. I make my points in my own words and if there's some need to back up a particular point, I will cite a reference or link a website but the focus is very narrow.

Well, this is debatable. I'm hearing three things. One is essentially that Israel has no right to protect itself and act as a sovereign state. Two is that we have no right to support them. I think we should. Three is that those who hate Jews can hide behind the label, "Zionist". Does that about sum it up?

The following is from The Bell Curve, Herrnstein and Murray, Copyright 1994, at page 275:

"Jews - specifically Ashkenazi Jews of European origins - test higher than any other ethnic group. A fair estimate seems to be that Jews in America and Britain have an overall IQ mean somewhere between a half and a full standard deviation above the mean, with the source of the difference concentrated in the verbal component."

Does your citation overcome mine? No, it does not.

Why would anyone with a functioning brain take the opinions of anyone on this anti American anti Jew site seriously?

You are completely conditioned by neocon propaganda. You were probably a Conservative at some point, but then the Communist neocons took over the party and made real Conservatism illegal, calling such kooks and anti Americans. Yet you support neocons- you probably have adopted all of their positions.

Whether you break this conditioning is up to you. I recommend reading sites that you loathe but don't have a specific reason for loathing. You can get your principles back.

2) The religious context, the Jewish people and Abraham.

People don't hate for no reason. It's illogical. You simply disagree with the reasons, labelling them as nothing. You have been absorbed by the neocon collective. You are completely blind to the damage Jews are doing to this country thru their lobby and special interest groups. With the overwhelming support of US Jews. You do not tolerate any criticism of Jews. This indicates you are not looking at the situation rationally.

My theory is that the conservative transformation began when conservatives began wearing bow ties.

William Buckley (a bow tie wearer), befriended Ira Glasser of the ACLU. This was followed by Irving Kristol (a Trotskyite), George Will (his parents were worker ants for Norman Thomas) and lately Tucker Carlson (a steam bath queer for sure). I'm sure there are more, but the pattern is obvious; bow ties = neocons = pipe smokers.

You're calling the Neturei Karta jews pro palestinian? Interesting.

You have to understand the conditioning. Everything is a dichotomy. It's no coincidence that Bush believes that people are either with him or against him and told the population so. It is a tactic. This is the way the Rep Party operates as well.

My take on it is that the neocons had a major task on their hands when Bush became President. They had the dupe in place, by the constituents were a different story. They needed to change most of the positions of those who were Conservative- change them to neocon- Socialist at home, pro Israel as a #1 priority, and Empire abroad.

So, the RNC, neocon thinktanks, their media, the President portrayed Conservatism as simply choosing good and fighting evil. They defined good and evil. This is a dichotomy and a false choice. Reps gladly sacrificed their principles to choose to neocon defined good on all issues. Patriotism was also heavily used. The neos defined Patriotism, and anti-American. There is that dichotomy again. By making Reps choose a or b, a false choice, they were able to drum out the Conservative ideology and replace it with the neocon ideology. They also won the election using dichotomy. Only 2 choices, Rep(good) and Lib(evil), and by defintition, libs are always worse than Conservatives, so there is only 1 choice- Rep. These dupes were so conditioned that holding the Rep Party responsible for not acting like traditional Reps never even crossed their mind. That was the beauty of it for Rep strategists and the Rep pols they represent. These dichotomies, reinforced with pos and neg emotions, limited the ability of Rep followers to think objectively and even rationally.

This tactic has been a mainstay for Lush, Hannity and all of the 'pop' conservatives in the media. Republicans good, libs evil.

They also narrowed the scope of all content on their shows so as to exclude anything paleoconservative or Libertarian. They promoted collectivism over individuality. Reps love god, Dems hate God. Reps love America, dems hate America. Reps are building the nation, Dems are tearing it down. Reps are moral, Dems are immoral. Reps are pro war, Dems are antiwar, Reps support Israel, Dems support Palestinians. Reps support the commander in chief, Dems support the terrorists. This also applies to paleoconservatives and Libertarian, but the neocons simply labelled those ideologies as that of K0oks, fringe extremists. This smear made sure that no issues were debated so as not to remind the neocon converts that they were not Conservatives anymore.

The use of emotion was a key in the conditioning. During the Clinton years, especially during the impeachment period. neocons realized that making people hate Dems and love Reps... was a great way to control them. Principles could then be abandoned while maintaining control. If you listen to any amout of Lush or Hannity or Ingraham, you will find that they not only present dichotomies, but they use rhetoric that makes Reps hate the 'liberals' because they associate them with the evil half of the dichotomy. The talking heads present the threat aspect. "The evil libs are a direct threat to you." Later in the show, they will talk about Bush in glowing terms- 100% good, perfection in a man. They'll have icons call in like Gingrich, the pseudocon, to assuage those that used to be cons. Newt has all the right answers. 'Thank God for people like Newt."

This relieves the tension from the hate fest that was just employed against those who oppose neocons and gives people a sense of relief. They then hear about how perfect the Rep Party is and feel secure. They see the Reps as saviours. They see them as the good part of the dichotomy. They become subconsciously subservient to the Neocon Party.

So, when you see a poster like Phaedrus, he is conditioned on a deep level. He believes that jews are good, arabs are bad. Further, like the RNC dictates, he has to choose one or the other because it is a dichotomy and that is the only choice. This is false, and is used purely to CONTROL. It shuts down thinking on the issue, just like the emotion of hate shuts down thinking. There is no analysis of the Pali plight or Israel's evils. Israel good, Palis bad. 4um posters are either with the Jews, or against the Jews. If against the Jews, you are 100% pro Palestinian.

He cannot even understand that a rational person sees both sides of the conflict and praises and criticizes both parties to the conflict.

These are my ideas on BOT conditioning. By using dichotomies, principles do not exist. Things are black and white, a or b. And choosing b is punished psychologically by the Rep PTB, but I'll save that theory for a different post.

How is this statement PRO Palestinian?

It's the dichotomy I mentioned above. The neocon leadership presents Reps with choices in a dichotomy. Except it's not even a choice because they condition followers to be repulsed by the choice that doesn't support the neocons. So there really is no choice.

It's almost totalitarian when I think about it. A form of US totalitarianism.

Israelis good, Palis evil. No issues are ever introduced that might allow the follower to think rationally. There is no debate about which side is just. Just a simple choice: You have to pick 'the Jews.' Because you have been conditioned that the Palis are evil. There is really no more conditioning necessary at this point. Just managing info on Jews to be all positive and on Palis as all evil- to reinforce the conditioning regularly. Palis are also associated with negative, unpleasant emotions and Jews with the opposite. Reality has nothing to do with the process.

Since it's a dichotomy, the follower never realizes that he can have positions against the Palis AND against the Israelis. It's either or. And he can only see adversaries as being 100% for the Palies, because he assumes the opponent sees the situation as a dichotomy- like he does!

You are either with us or against us. If you do not support the Israelis totally, you support the Palestinians totally.

Precisely.. for me it is not an either or .. its the same for those who continually fall into the false dichotomy of left/right .. Democrat/Republican .. evil/good .. anti-American/patriotic .. damned fools all.

Zip, here's an interesting article I found. It is basically an interview with a French Jew who was born in Tunisia, a Sephardic Jew no doubt. And I would imagine the Zionist Israeli and American Ashkenazi Jews (and likely their Christian Zionist sycophants) are livid with him for suggesting what he does in the article, that Arabs and Jews can live together in peace.

Regard the MO of Phaedrus:

Phaedrus first tosses out a bit of silly propaganda. Perhaps something Hannity or Michael Savage thought up for him.

If someone then questions this unsupported spew, Phaedrus spins and moves sideways; perhaps claiming that the other person is playing word games or some such smokescreen.

When Phaedrus is called on this dodge, Phaedrus resorts to personal attacks and runs off and hides - as he just did above.

Phaedrus then wonders why people think he's a silly ninney and fail to respect him.

Well, this is debatable. I'm hearing three things. One is essentially that Israel has no right to protect itself and act as a sovereign state. Two is that we have no right to support them. I think we should. Three is that those who hate Jews can hide behind the label, "Zionist". Does that about sum it up?

Debatable? Hardly.

I for one, am all for the existence of Israel. Not only can they stand on their own, but they have nuclear deterrents, and the same capabilities as the US Military. How do I know this? Because Israel has been selling our most sensitive technologies to China and Russia. They can stand on their own just fine.

Why should we give them billions of dollars in aid every year, when they can make their own way, selling their products to other nations? They do just fine, in fact, as an arms manufacturer, they do quite well. Why do we need to pay for their settler relocation program to the tune of $250,000.00 per person?

We should help Israel why? Why is it our problem whether or not they get a pipeline at OUR expense? They certainly aren't paying for it, WE ARE. We give them billions of dollars, and we are building their pipelines, AND OUR SOLDIERS ARE DYING FOR ISRAELI INTERESTS. Tell me one good reason why we should do this? What purpose does it serve? Does it help us in the Middle East? No, actually it doesn't.

You then tell me that people who hate Jews, can hide behind a label, such as Zionist. Well, it shakes both ways pal. If you're saying anyone who says there's a difference between Jews and Zionists is a hatemonger, it's because you know the difference, and you know the truth. You just don't want to lose your ethnic upper hand. People who are chronic victims always bleat the loudest, when they know they're losing an argument.

I support Israel, and I believe they should be a sovereign nation. I also believe that after 60+ years of aid, they should be able to stand on their own. They fought the 7 day war, and annihilated their enemies WITHOUT our help. This country when it was conceived, stood on its own from DAY ONE. Israel should be able to do the same. They aren't in immediate danger, they can rout just about any enemy that comes across their border.

Unlike you, I speak the truth, and know the truth. Israel can stand on its own, fight its own battles, and come out victorious. I firmly believe that if left to its own devices, Israel could literally mop the floor with every enemy nation it has in the region. I would applaud them for doing so. However, we have too many people in our government, and in their government who like things just the way they are.

Israel should be free to do what it needs to, to wipe out their enemies, however, our government's need to be their personal hand holder, is obscene to me.

You're right, hating something sometimes is irrational, but sometimes you can rationalize that hate. Hence, Nazism.

If someone were to hurt you, your family, or friends, you'd probably hate them, if it were bad enough.

Is that irrational, not really, it's being human.

Do I hate Jews? Hell no, I have friends who are Jewish. Do I hate Zionists? No, I don't. Do I hate what their agenda is, I am averse to my country being used.

Hating people for no reason, is irrational. Hating people for being evil, is justifiable.

So many morons, so few bullets.
