There is no doubt that all genres of fiction fire-up the
imagination of the audience. This is true even though most fictional works
imitate life. Certainly, most dramas do that, as do most comedies to a lesser
extent. There is, however, a genre which sets itself apart from the others in
that life seeks to imitate it more often than the other way around.
That genre is fantasy. It is so vast, in fact, it splits
into several categories, ranging from the horror stories to the highest-minded
science fiction. In-between you find the adventure type, which is what the
editors of the Wall Street Journal chose to employ as metaphor to illustrate
the points they make with regard to current events.
The editorial they wrote came under the title: “Kerry's Invisible Bridge ”
and the subtitle: “The Secretary takes a leap of faith on Iran 's
self-inspections.” It was published on August 26, 2015 in the Journal. The
invisible bridge they refer to is the one that's featured in the film: “Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade.” They say that in the matter of Iran 's
self-inspection, Secretary of State Kerry is acting out a leap-of-faith similar
to: “Indy, standing at the edge of an abyss, sticks out his leg to discover an
invisible bridge that will get him to the other side.”
This is an analogy that works, of course, but it is an
adventure fantasy that is no match to the high-minded science fiction that came
before it, and may well have inspired that scene. I am referring to the series
of films “Back to the Future,” one of which had a train headed towards an abyss
where there was no bridge to take it to the other side. But this was happening
in the past, whereas a bridge existed in the future. Luckily, by the time that
the train had come to the edge of the abyss, it reached the required velocity
to pass into the future and onto the bridge that took it safely to the other
side.
This too is an analogy that works, but it does more than
that. The comparison between the adventure fantasy used by the editors, and the
science fiction they could have used but did not, compounds the analogy in that
the choice they made reveals how mundane they have been, opting for the
adventure fantasy instead of the loftier science fiction … preferring the
mundane over the high minded.
And so it is with the way that they view the relationships
which exist among human beings, as well as those that exist among nations. The
reality is that the human race is moving away from the view that people are
inherently evil, or that they must be made to fear the consequences of their
actions to make certain they will act correctly. In fact, trust among the
people had always been the attitude in America . It was the currency that
made the people take risks and go from there to build a magnificent
civilization.
And then the Jews came to America , fashioned as they are by
an apocalyptic ideology which views human nature as being inherently evil. And
slowly but surely, they infused the American culture with the distrust that has
transformed what used to be optimistic America into a suspicious and
pessimistic society. America
is now the place where the two parties that used to form the wings of the
political eagle, turned against each other with the one that happens to govern
at any point, investigating the other for real wrongdoings or for imagined
ones. This goes on till the party in power loses an election, thus gets to be
investigated in turn. All the while, the business of America
has become paralyzed while that of Israel , a Jewish foreign entity,
was placed on the fast-track.
Having wrapped the political system tightly, and having
placed it safely in their pocket, the Jews refashioned America 's
foreign policy, turning it into a weapon they unleashed on the world. They did
so with America's relations in the Middle East where there used to be the
proverbial Garden of Eden, and there is now – thanks to America's bungling – a
Dante Alighieri style Hell.
The Jews continue to pull the apocalyptic strings they
employed to wrap the political system, intending to use America 's various powers to do to Iran what they did to Iraq
and Libya .
This time, however, they lunged against an Obama-Kerry team that said enough
was enough. And so, the Jews are trying to make of them the enemies of America , hoping
they will be treated with the contempt that the parties in Congress treat each
other.
