David Irving Stops Sale of Evans Book

[Scott Smith]

(...) History is full of bitter ironies.

From now on I will call you zionist-public relations spokesman. Incredible how you can grasp all their intentions, read their minds... Incredible!

No, I can only give you my interpretations. I am just one guy with a keyboard. But since my tax-dollars help fund their state and endears much of the world to hate me and my countrymen enough to want to kill us, I have quite an interest in that perspective.

Israel is only one of the pieces of your country's foreign policy puzzle. To blame Israel for the "love" USA receive all over the world is incorrect and partial, but is symptomatic of your weltanschauung, Scott.

No, just in the Middle East, which has the world's cheapest oil, one of the reasons that the moribund Western empires encouraged Arab nationalism (balkanization by any other name) during WWI and later. There, Israel is not one of the pieces of the puzzle, it is the puzzle.

Basically, the problem is that in order to appease Bible Belt Christians and most religious Jews the government collectively believes that it is doing God's work by giving Israel a blank check amid a "sea of Arab tyranny." And Islam knows the source of Israeli aggression as being essentially American, at least after the 1967 war. Without American aid, Israel would have to get along with her neighbors and forget about its racist, Apartheid theocratic utopian nature. But then American Jews and Christians believe this more than the Israelis do. Like I said, a Zionist is some Christian or Jew who wants some other cowboy to fulfill God's plan by "settling" Israel and "making the desert blossom as a rose." I understand the mentality because I grew up around Mormons and their pioneer-history is nothing more than a miniaure Shoah. Anyway, I do not blame all Jews or Israelis for the Likud, but without Uncle Sugar the Likud would be a fringe of zealous crackpots hardly worth mention.

Regarding the rest of the world, it is the categorical-imperative of Capitalism to widen financial markets. Only with the infinite growth of financial markets can wealth trickle down and keep the system afloat; otherwise Capital is king, and unless the owners of Capital see juicy markets that entice them to make their money work instead of keeping it hidden under the mattress then there will be Depression. When there is a boom it is a phony-economy just the same, with wealth generated on paper instead of creating things and ideas that are useful.

Capitalist foreign-policy is neo-imperialistic; in other words, it's aimed to the end of Globaloney, and one of the means employed is periodic crusading to "make the world safe for Democracy." Indigenous peoples may not have civil rights in some of these countries but as long as they allow foreign investment and loans at compound-interest and have fast-food franchises and a source of cheap labor, they are Goood. Freedom=Consumer Choice. Countries who practice a degree of economic-nationalism are Baaad.

Smith's sermon on world politics for the weekend.

I wonder how many of his readers are now shaking their heads in compassionate incomprehension.

As I'm well disposed today, and although it's a little off-topic, here's the latest joke I heard on "Democracy-Capitalism":

A ten-year-old boy asks his father: "Daddy, what is politics ?"

The father thinks for a while about how to bring this complicated notion down to the level of a ten-year-old, then says:

"Look, son, it goes like this:

I bring home the money, so I'm the capitalist.

Your mother takes care of it, so she's the government.

Grandpa sees to it that everything is in order, so he's the union.

Our housemaid is the working-class.

And we all are working only for your benefit, so you are the people.

And your baby brother, he's the future.

That's politics.

Have you understood, son ?"

The son thinks a bit and says: "I'm not quite sure, dad. Let me think about it tonight, and I'll tell you tomorrow."

That night the boy is awakened by the cries of his one-year-old baby brother, who badly needs to have his pampers changed. He goes to the parents' bedroom, but there he only finds the mother. The lady is so fast asleep that he can't wake her up, however hard he tries. The boy then goes to the housemaid's room, where he finds his father banging the housemaid, while grandpa discreetly watches through an interior window.
All three are so focused on what they're doing and seeing that no one takes notice of the little boy, who goes back to his room frustrated and tries to sleep despite the ongoing cries of his little brother.

The next morning, the father asks the boy: "Well, son, have you thought about my explanation of yesterday?"

The son answers: "Yes, dad, and I think I understood you. Politics is like this:

The capitalist abuses the working-class.

The union watches and does nothing.

The government sleeps.

The people are simply ignored.

And the future lies in shit.

That's politics!"

Well, at least you have a sense of humor too, Roberto.
