Don't Go Crazy Over Cheesy Flattery

NOTE: BLOGGER has not yet fixed the problem of spacing between the paragraphs and so I am separating them with short lines. ______________________________________________________________ Are they crazy or are they crazy like a fox? This is the question you ask every time you see the Jewish lobby do things in a way that may benefit the causes it champions in the short run - as indeed it does once in a while - but ends up hurting them in the long run as it does all the time. Study the activities of the lobby carefully and you will see that the hallmark of the approach it takes to execute a campaign is that it tailor-makes the message to fit the personality of those who listen to it. Watch the lobby for a while longer and you will discover that woven with its presentation is a flattery that tells the listener he or she is buying this message because he or she is classy and smart. Human nature being what it is, most people succumb to this kind of flattery and thus lend success to the short term aims of the lobbying campaign. But then comes the time to do a cost-benefit analysis and the consequences of the lobbying message are measured. This is when it is determined that the apparent early successes were nothing but long term failures in the making. And so you ask yourself: Was the lobby crazy like a fox or was it plain crazy? ______ Aside from the personal flattery they bestow on the people they interact with on a daily basis, the cheesiest general flattery that the Jewish lobbyists splash on the Americans of the chattering and governing classes is that they constantly drum into their heads the notion they are hated everywhere in the world because, as a nation, they are big, beautiful and strong. The lobbyists then urge that in response to this unfair treatment, America must use its monumental size and limitless power to hit back at those who hate it instead of try to understand them and negotiate an accommodation that will satisfy everyone - which is the way that the lobbyists believe America is now responding to provocations. Some of these lobbyists even go beyond all this and argue in plain and simple language that the Americans must bomb the people who hate them and thus force these people to love America by virtue of the respect they will be compelled to develop for the country. ______ This is getting crazy, you say, and you are correct. But you should know that if you read the Old Testament with a critical eye, you will find that it is entirely based on the notion of living your life not by harmonizing the needs of the self with the needs of others but by forcing the others to bend to your will. In fact, this is how Israel has tried to live in the Middle Eastern neighborhood where it was parachuted, and this is why the world has come to hate it and hate America along with it. But you ask: Why America? And the answer is that the world has developed a few negative sentiments toward this country because it bought the message of the Jewish lobby which got into the business of giving advice to the superpower even though America was doing well as it coexisted harmoniously with the rest of the world. This was a time when America was motivated by the spirit that was prevailing ever since the victories of the second world war, a time when America was loved and respected by everyone - even by her former enemies - precisely because she was big, beautiful and strong not for being the petty little thing that the ugly Jewish lobby wants it to become and so remain for ever. ______ Of course, nothing has worked for Israel in the Middle East during all the time it has been there since that fateful day when it was recognized as a nation six or seven decades ago. The reason why nothing has worked is that the weird philosophy of life that did not work for the ancient Hebrew tribes has not worked in modern times either for those who claim to have descended from those same tribes. Still, these people have convinced themselves they can live according to the rules of the Stone Age despite the fact that the same rules proved to be too primitive even for the Stone Age of biblical times. Still, they thought they could tweak and adapt the old behavior to the modern age and make it work but they proved to be wrong and everyone knew it except they who were convinced they were doing just fine. And because failure has been the hallmark of the Jewish existence for thousands of years while tenacity has been the response to the repeated failures, it was inevitable that the Jews should develop a mode of operation peculiar to their culture. What they did was to develop an ability to pull other people into their fights and use that as their secret weapon. And they were able for a good part of their modern history to convince the gullible of other races such as the communists of the Soviet Union and the socialists of Europe to fight alongside them or fight for their causes instead of them. ______ When the communists and the socialists began to decline, the Jewish organizations converted to the philosophy of the liberal democracies of the West as fast as you can turn a communal kibbutz into an upscale tourist resort, and they plotted to drag the American superpower into their new scheme. With little effort and even less planning they managed to get America to take on the entire Arab and Muslim worlds one creeping step after another thus do for Israel the dirty work that Israel could not or would not do for itself. Naturally, the Christian and Muslim Arabs as well as the Christians and the Muslims of other races began to resent the behavior of Israel and that of America. But before America could see the cause and effect relationship that existed between her newly adopted activities and the hatred she was engendering, the Jewish lobbyists had concocted the idea that human beings are anti-Semitic by genetic disposition which is why they are ganging up on Israel and by extension on America too. And all this resentment is happening, they went on to explain, for one reason and one reason only which is that America is the only exceptional nation on Earth and the Jews are the only chosen people in history. The lobbyists spoke thusly; they nudged and they counseled and they continued to do what they always did as if they were God's crown achievement and America His gift to them - a gift that will be appreciated until such time that someone else will be picked and so honored as to serve, to sacrifice and be made to suffer for the sake of the Jews. ______ Well, my friend, let me tell you something you might find interesting. Curiosity concerning flattery and the effect it has on people is not new to the human race. In fact, the French poet Jean de La Fontaine knew a great deal about it and wrote a fable some three and a half centuries ago which gives a precious lesson on flattery. The fable is called in French “Le Corbeau et le Renard” which translates into English as “The Crow and the Fox”. For some reason and contrary to his style, La Fontaine cut the storyline to its bare minimum but you can get a feel for what is missing by reading between the lines. And so, what follows is my interpretation of La Fontaine's story with the complete dialogue as I envisage it and a full description of the motivations that animate the two characters of the story. Here it is. A crow was perched high up on a tree holding a cheese in his beak. A hungry fox that was attracted by the smell of the cheese approached and engaged the crow in a conversation. The fox started the engagement this way: “Good day to you, Mister Crow. Oh my God, look what a good looking bird you are! But tell you what, Sir; if your song sounds as good as your plumage looks to me, I promise that you will be considered the phoenix of this forest; at least I shall so consider you myself.” ______ Upon hearing these words the crow felt the rush of a joyful anticipation run through his body and decided to demonstrate the sound of his voice which he knew was so nice it will earn him the title of phoenix of the forest, something he always dreamed about. To this end, the crow threw his beak wide open but before he had the time to let out a single note of his song, the cheese had dropped off his beak. This being the moment that the fox was waiting for, he rushed to the fallen cheese and quickly grabbed it. He then looked up at the crow who was still perched high up on the tree and said with a sneer: “Let it be known, Sir, that flatterers like me always live at the expense of those like you who listen to them. And that's a lesson worth a cheese, my dear crow, don't you think so?” Sad and still hungry, all that the crow could do now was to resolve that he will never again let himself be tricked by someone: a crazy fox or not a crazy fox, that is the resolution. ______ America too must now learn a lesson of its own. It must learn to live without the addictive flattery of a Jewish lobby that does nothing but work to grab the cheese, the bread and the butter from the mouths of the hungry and the unemployed in America to send these and everything else to Israel that produces nothing yet receives everything for free. And Israel is where the Stone Age mentality of the Old Testament has been put to work once again. It is there where new recruits are joining the army, doing so with a motivation that should send the chill down the spine of every person in America and outside of it. The fact is that a new disturbing trend is developing in Israel where the same fanatics who relied on the army to protect them in the past as they stole the land and settled in the occupied territories, are themselves joining the army now for the purpose of taking the thing over from the inside. Their goal as they have stated it is to turn the army into a hardline institution dedicated to the preservation of the occupation and to expand it as far as they can take it. When the effort is completed, these people hope to have brought together the two halves of a picture they want the world to know about, be conscious about and see with absolute clarity and no ambiguity. ______ What these people want to do is to show that one half of the picture which represents the settlements that were built, are being built and will continue to be built is a half that was made possible because American money was available to make it all happen. They also want to show that the other half of the picture represents an army that was equipped, is being equipped and will continue to be equipped with the most modern and most lethal of weapon systems made by America and donated to Israel with no condition attached. And they want to show that the two halves of the picture are held together by an economy that rests on American financial aid, an aid that was always there for them to grab and will be there for as long as they want it. And the ultimate message these people want to send to the world is this one: You take us on, you take on America. If you think we are criminals, you must think that America too is criminal. You should understand that being a chosen people, God put us on this Earth to take what we want when we want it without asking for anyone's permission. And God gave us America to protect us and pay the price whenever someone resents us for what we do, for what we are and for what we can never be. ______ When all is said and done, you realize that because the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the Jewish organizations have paved every road with the colors of good intention and are leading America to hell whichever road she chooses to take. And this is a situation that is too far removed from what was envisaged when America and a few other nations voted to establish a homeland for the Jews in Palestine. What happened between then and now is akin to what happens when you try to make cheese, and bad bacteria contaminate the batch of good bacteria you use to make the cheese. But there is a small variation in this analogy that ought to be mentioned. It is that the good bacteria chosen to make the cheese were not laced with a bad contaminant but were themselves - and entirely so - bad bacteria disguised as good bacteria. ______ And this is the bitter reality of that story because when it comes to making a deal with the spiritual descendants of the Stone Age tribes of the Old Testament you don't make a deal with the children of God, you make a deal with the disciples of the devil who are disguised as children of God. Their philosophy of life has been contaminating the good Earth ever since the beginning of time, and the time has come to mothball it and to store it in the same archives where Nazism and Fascism have been gathering dust for some time now. ______ Enough is enough; humanity needs a breather, it needs fresh air.
