This is a Case where two Wrongs make a Right

 An old saying goes like this: “Two wrongs don't make a right.” It probably came about as a result of the Christian doctrine which says if someone does you wrong, forgive him instead of thinking retaliation. Pushed to the extreme, the doctrine might even urge you to love the aggressor and pray for him.

 

Well, this is not how the real-world works. It might work in a monastery full of monks who are attacked by hungry marauders that came to steal food. In this case the monks might even help the marauders haul the food they have in storage, and go hungry themselves till they can harvest the new crop.

 

In the real world, people hold a grudge against those who do them wrong, and “return the favor” when they can. This kind of behavior is accepted by society because it concurs with the concept of justice that is at the foundation of civilization. Of course, where such conduct violates criminal law, the remedy is left for the legal system to mete out the proper level of justice. An example where aggression and retaliation are not covered by the criminal code, and practiced all the time, were discussed in two recent articles.

 

One article came under the title: “AOC & Co.'s loathsome plan to keep lists of pro-Trumpies,” written by John Podhoretz, and published on November 11, 2020 in the New York Post. The other article came under the title: “Beware Trump supporters: Kamala Harris and the Democrats have a list, and that's a fact,” and the subtitle: “The thirst for pay-back.” It was written by Everett Piper, and published on November 14 2020 in The Washington Times.

 

It takes a great deal of gall for a Jew like John Podhoretz to characterize as “loathsome” the practice of keeping a list because if he believes that, he must believe he is the most loathsome creature to ever disgrace Planet Earth. You must have guessed why, my friend. Yes, it is that the Jews were the ones to start the practice, are the ones practicing it all the time, and this includes John Podhoretz. The following is the pertinent passage in his article that tells all about what he is and what people like him are. He speaks of:

 

“A group of petty and loathsome enforcers of pious attitudinal orthodoxy who have appointed themselves to the collective post of Lord High Career Executioner. They talk about the lists they are making of people who have committed the grievous evil of working for the Trump administration they hated, with the stated goal of ensuring such people don't find employment afterward. Their founding manifesto contains these words: We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically. But those who took a paycheck from the Trump administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart”.

 

These are only 100 of the 700 plus words that John Podhoretz has spewed to describe those who keep a list of the people they wish to punish. You should read the whole thing to see how little he thinks of himself and his kind. And remember all of that every time that you read him or read his friends incite the public to distance themselves from the likes of Louis Farrakhan and other outstanding Americans.

 

As to Everett Piper, he sort of apologized for retweeting something that was inaccurate about Kamala Harris. He then went on to say this: “But here's the thing. The statement from Ms. Harris is so close to the comments from other players in the Democratic Party that, at first blush, it didn't strike me as out of order”.

 

Having done that, he quoted 10 people who said something to the effect that it would be inappropriate for the incoming administration to hire for the White House the people who were working for Donald Trump, and tried to reverse the result of an election won by the team that would be hiring them.

 

Here are the 10 people that Everett Piper mentioned: Jennifer Rubin, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, Michael Simon, Robert Reich, Chris Hayes, Keith Olbermann, Evan McMullin, Dick Costolo, Bhaskar Sunkara, Joe Biden. And here is what he said about them that Kamala Harris should have said but did not in his view:

 

“Kamala Harris has said nothing to condemn any of their comments. She has said nothing about Jennifer Rubin’s, Keith Olbermann’s, Chris Hayes’ and Robert Reich’s thirst for pay-back. She has said nothing about the implied Bolshevik violence of Bhaskar Sunkara and Dick Costolo. She has said nothing about the spooky Orwellian lunacy of Evan McMullin. She has said nothing to condemn the derogation of Judeo-Christian people by her own boss. Nothing. Crickets. Total silence”.

 

But why was I interested to write about those two articles? Well, it happens that everything John Podhoretz and Everett Piper have said about the 10 people they dislike, I could have said it about the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Canadian security apparatus and the editors of a major Canadian newspaper.

 

You see, my friend, it happened that in 1968 I wrote that Egypt was a civilized country, contradicting the Jews and their running prostitutes who were saying that the Egyptians were cockroaches, wounded animals and sick dogs. The three entities did not like what I wrote and so, they began a campaign to make sure I’ll never again get publish. When I got wind of what they were doing and spoke about it, they became so terrified I might embarrass them by going public with my story, they wanted to see me vanquished.

 

That’s when their campaign took a morbid turn. They tracked me and badmouthed me everywhere I lived, everywhere I worked, everyone with whom I spoke to make life so unlivable for me, I would be driven to do something spectacular they could point to and say it is why they kept an eye on me. In fact, they wanted me to so despair, I would go mad and do something they can claim they knew I was so evil, I had it within me to commit such act. And they planned to then claim credit for doing their job trying to protect society from me.

 

Well, I did not go mad and did not commit the horrific act they were hoping I would commit. Instead, they made me feel so above them, I slipped into the role of anthropologist, and started studying them like they were monkeys trying to outwit me, a human being. It was a journey to remember.

 

If what I did was wrong, let it be said that this was a case where two wrongs made a right.
