Teaching Daddy How To Make Babies

The Americans are fond of saying that their country is not at war with the Muslim Arabs, the Christian Arabs, Islam itself or anyone that has not declared war on them. And all indications are to the effect that this is a true statement. But the statement is true only in the sense that America is not at war with these people under American command. It can be demonstrated, however, that America is at war against all these people and against the Africans too under Jewish command.

When a factory producing pharmaceuticals is blown up in Sudan by an American cruise missile as ordered by an Israeli operative masquerading as an American national security adviser, America starts a war against the Arabs and the Africans. When the Iraqi people are shocked and awed into kingdom come by the hundreds of thousands with an attack that was pre-planned by Jews calling themselves children of Holocaust survivors, America continues its war against the Arabs. When America bankrolls Israel, arms it and protects it from the consequences of its criminal activities at the Security Council with the veto, America thumbs its nose at the Arabs, the Africans and the whole world. And the list of examples goes on endlessly.

Furthermore, these are only the hot wars inflicted on the individuals that they maim and murder. In reality, the range of methods utilized to wage war against the Arabs and the Muslims is much larger than those examples would suggest. The fact is that a hot war is always preceded by a propaganda war which is fought in a manner so insidious, it neither shocks nor awes the observers who lack the training to understand its significance. But when the hot war explodes at the end of the propaganda war, the pieces fall into place and the public begins to understand what it was being led into. And it has been the role of the Israeli agents and the Jewish organizations in America to manage the propaganda campaigns that led to each and every military intervention undertaken by that country in the Middle East.

An example in this vein is the cry that then Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Shamir let out in his Yiddish accent two or three decades ago when he visited America and blurted out: “Zey know nossing about za damacracy.” This was the cry that launched America into a suicidal quest to turn the Arabs into client states of Israel, to go broke and to die in the sands of the Middle East under the guise of democratizing the Arabs and the Muslims. Shamir’s cry was picked up by Israel’s agents in the American Congress, the media, some of the institutions of higher learning and the septic tanks that masquerade as think tanks. And all these characters and institutions participated in the refrain that made America kill Arabs of the Christian and Muslim faiths to carry out the most absurd of missions as ordered by the Jewish gods of America. And this is but one example on a list that goes on endlessly.

One recent example to come to my attention showing how a propaganda war presages the hot war is an editorial published in the Washington Post on January 4, 2010 under the title: “Free to speak out” in Egypt. The editorial is part of the insidious war that Israel and the Jewish organizations are now waging against Egypt to get the American Congress all riled up and push for a hot war against that country. And this would only be the beginning because the intention is to lead to a wider war against the Arabs, the Muslims and the Africans who refuse to bow to Israel and worship the Jews in the manner that the American people were taught to worship them by the pastors of the televised ministries.

Let us analyze that editorial and see how evil works when it works insidiously. The editorial begins by citing a question posed by a student to the American ambassador in Cairo: “What is the U.S. position on democracy in Egypt?” to which the ambassador replied: “In my time in Egypt, I have noticed that many Egyptians are very free to speak out. The press debates so many things." These were the words of Ambassador Margaret Scobey who is fluent in classical Arabic and is making good progress mastering the Egyptian colloquial.

Needless to say that the editorial writers at the Washington Post did not like the answer of the ambassador, and so they undertook to set the record straight the way things are done in the Talmudic style. The writers told the good woman what she ought to have noticed which would have entailed that she reject what she actually noticed. Then, in a typically cowardly manner, these same characters hid behind the young to make another point. The method they used here was to speculate, which they did like this: “The assembled students must have wondered if Ms. Scobey was talking about some other country.” Obviously, the Post had no one in Cairo to ask the students what they were thinking but this did not deter its editors from speculating that the students were puzzled as to which country the ambassador meant.

This mentality makes me wonder if the Washington Post characters gave themselves the right to ascribe thoughts to the students as much as they gave themselves the right to tell the ambassador what she ought to have noticed just because they worked for the causes of the godly Jews. If this is the case, I have news for the Post: I knew a Jew who feared and hated this mentality because it led to the misery and horror that Jews have suffered throughout the ages. The man used to say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions but the road to the incinerator is paved with the grand illusions of the little ignoramuses.

The editors at the Post go on to cite a few things about Egypt that do not amount to a hill of beans. For example, it happens everywhere that politicians would launch a lawsuit from time to time against the people who defame them. Even the royal family in Britain is forced to resort to this method so as to throw the chill factor at the sickly journalistic habit when things go too far. It happens in Egypt also that politicians launch a law suit at times against the practitioners of yellow journalism who defame them. And like everywhere else, the courts in Egypt usually rule in favor of the defendants. But to the editors of the Washington Post, the very fact that the suits are launched in Egypt is a sign that freedom of speech is curtailed there.

Sitting in their chairs in Washington DC, the people at the Post go on to mention an Egyptian dissident who is esteemed by them more than he is by the Egyptians who may have a cause in Egypt. For example, there is a problem in Egypt which exists everywhere else on the planet; it is called regional disparity. It is that when a country progresses, not all the regions progress at the same pace. The people who live in the regions that lag behind become dissatisfied with their situation and take their concerns to the politicians. If they fail to get satisfaction soon enough, they draw attention to their demands by going public.

It so happens that in Egypt parts of the South and parts of the Sinai have not developed as fast as the rest of the country. The people who live in those places organized themselves to make their concerns known to the government, the press and the rest of the country. All the while, to build a base for himself, the dissident mentioned by the Post tried to take up the cause of one group and then the other. When he got in touch with the organizing committees, the people welcomed him with open arms and invited him to speak at their gathering. Each time, however, something funny happened to the man. The moment he opened his mouth to discuss the cause he came to champion, the people judged him unfit to take it up or articulate it. And so, they politely told him what amounts to: “Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more.” These people must have been familiar with the hit songs of Ray Charles.

So, guess where the road took the guy after that. It took him somewhere in Europe where he associated himself with the likes of Anatoli Sharansky of Israel and George W. Bush of America to try and liberate Egypt the way that the Washington Post and the Jewish organizations want to liberate the Arabs, the Muslims and the parts of the world that do not yet worship the Jews the way they are worshiped in America. And to think that all these characters want to liberate the Egypt that has survived for 7000 years and has seen as many idiots come and go as there is sand in the Sahara Desert and defective neurons running the editorial board of the Washington post! This is so amazing I can only say: Get off your grand illusions, guys, and find something else to do because you were never meant to be in this line of work.

But what did the Bush people do after their man met with the Egyptian dissident? Well, we do not have to go too far to find the answer because it is right there in the infamous editorial we are discussing. This is how the writers of the pitiful rag put it: “…the Bush administration … pressed Arab governments for democratic change, and it made some headway in Egypt before retreating in its final years.” No reason was given as to why the Bush people retreated but I have news for the Post: Bush listened to the Jewish organizations and rushed to obey their command by sending people to Egypt to fix something that ain’t broke. When the people realized how idiotic their mission was, they reached the same conclusion that Ambassador Scobey did and they retreated, leaving it to the running dogs of Israel to bark their sorrows and shed their tears. By the way, running dogs is a holdover expression dating back to the cold war years and before.

The conclusion to draw here is not that there is a problem in Egypt because the country is governed by a sturdy, steady hand Egyptian but that there is a problem in America because the country is governed by weak traitors working for a foreign power that does not even amount to a hill of beans. And there is another serious point to be made here which is the following:

The Americans say they have the best system of governance because their founding fathers gave them the best constitution that the world has ever seen. And they assert that the glory of this constitution resides in the fact that it was instrumental in setting up a system of checks and balances which forbids anyone from abusing the political powers vested in them. Thus, bearing in mind that the United Nation is a super-structure that may someday seek to dominate the sovereign nations of the world including their country, the Americans resent that body and wish to see it disappear.

Indeed, the Americans point to the balancing act that goes on inside their own country which the Supreme Court is asked to deal with almost every year. The Court looks into the competing rights of the sovereign states as they regularly come into collision with the powers conferred on the federal government. And this preoccupation with the right to govern and to dominate the lives of people is what explains the antipathy that the Americans have for the European Union which they view as another super-structure already dominating the local jurisdictions of Europe. The Americans are just horrified by the thought that their country may someday be governed in the style of Europe.

But like they say, the proof is in the pudding. If it is true that an American style constitution is the best thing a country can have to defend it against domestic and foreign abusers of power, how come the Jewish organizations have in two generations succeeded in setting up a super-structure that has subjugated, indeed enslaved the American Congress, the Administration, the press, many of the institutions of higher learning and the two main political parties? Where have the aspiring liberators of the world gone when their own country is kept in shackles by a few Jewish organizations and a handful of individuals? Are the liberators so busy liberating the world that they have no time to liberate their own country? Or is it that they are using the pretext of liberation to bring the world to worship the Jews the way they do in America? Whose side are these liberators on, anyway?

Until the editors of the Washington Post can answer these questions without pouring out the usual nonsense, they should be reminded of one more thing. In view of the fact that America has not yet been around for 250 years while Egypt has been for 7000, they must not try to teach daddy how to make babies even if the godly Jews whisper in their ear that they have this obligation.

The Made-up Evil And The Maker

In his December 10, 2009 speech on the occasion of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, President Barack Obama of the United States of America said this: “…make no mistake: evil does exist in the world.” Beyond making a vague allusion to Hitler, the President made no attempt to discuss a method by which to identify that evil or a way to reduce its effectiveness once it has been identified. The following is an attempt to do just that.

Be they religious or something else, most philosophies subscribe to the idea that because there is sin in the world there must have been an original sin from which all sins derive. If you formulate this idea in a slightly different way, you could say that if there is evil in the world, there must have been an original evil from which all evils derive. And the logical thing to do after that is to try and identify this original evil then think of ways to reduce its ill effect on the world.

Generally speaking, to identify something you need to find out as much as you can about it so that you may define it properly. This done, you search for that which fits the definition you just worked out, and when satisfied that you have it, you call it by a name that describes it best. In this case, the name that suits the thing will have to be: Mother of all evil. You now search for ways to mitigate the efficiency of this mother, and you try to reduce the effectiveness of the evils that she spawns whatever form they take.

With this in mind, we ask: What did we observe that has beset the human condition in the worst possible way since the beginning of time? And we answer that we saw suffering everywhere then conclude that the forces responsible for this condition must be the ones that define evil most accurately. But we must also recognize that this is the simple answer because evil is a complex thing given that it takes many forms and manifests itself at different levels of virulence. Thus, our designation of those levels will dependent on the variables we encounter as we discover how deliberate the evil was and how artificial were the excuses that led to it.

A parable should help to illustrate these points. In trying to control a crowd of protesters, a policeman is said to have panicked and to have fired a shot that killed someone. It is further said that a few of the other policemen guarding the same crowd reflexively pulled the trigger and killed a number of protesters. The police department set up a panel to investigate the incident and has determined which of the policemen did fire their guns and which did not. But the panel failed to determine with absolute certainty which of those that fired the guns did kill and which did not. The panel then concluded that, in any case, the shootings were the result of involuntary reflexive responses on the part of the policemen, and it closed the file without holding someone responsible for anything.

On the surface, this incident appears to have been a tragedy that can happen to any society anywhere. But a subsequent independent investigation was able to prove beyond any doubt that the firing continued past the time that normally falls within the realm of the reflexive responses. Because this meant that some firing was done deliberately in order to kill, the tragedy came to be called a massacre by the public. The notion was planted in the mind of some observers that a great evil was committed, and each player in the tragedy was associated with a different level of the responsibility. Thus, the public assigned responsibilities in this order: The highest responsibility went to the state followed by the police department, the individual policemen that fired with the intention to kill and those that fired to frighten but not to kill.

To help them make the determination on a sound legal basis, the independent investigators raised two important questions and sought answers for them. First, why were the armed policemen deployed to control a crowd that was on the whole a peaceful one? Second, why did the policeman who fired the first shot panic and pull the trigger when he was dressed in full riot gear, protected by a shield and a mask as he faced a crowd that was unarmed?

Unable to connect the dots or to develop definitive answers, the investigators questioned the motivation behind the police department’s decision to send a massive force to control a peaceful crowd. In doing this, they extended the search to the department and to the government itself as they continued to investigate the individual policemen. Lucky for them, the breakthrough came when the government inadvertently rendered the incident easy to investigate. What happened was that in the wake of mounting criticisms, the government responded by unleashing a verbal offensive accusing the world of disregarding the predicament in which it finds itself. It complained of an existential threat that comes from the outside and another threat that comes from the inside both of which, it said, it had to deal with decisively.

Besides exposing the true motivation behind the government’s behavior, this response gave the investigators an inkling as to the degree to which the police department had been working hand in hand with the government to suppress the public protests. Looking at the facts from a fresh angle, the investigators deduced that a tacit understanding and a kind of shared operation existed between the government and the police department to achieve several goals simultaneously. For one thing, the intent behind this and the other operations was to terrorize the protesters to put an end to the protests that used to flare up once in a while. Also, the idea was to conduct the operations in such a way as to make it impossible to trace the acts of state terrorism to the police department or to any branch of the government. More importantly, the government wanted to be in a position to call the protesters terrorists thus hide the fact that it was itself the only terrorist entity around.

Indeed, a number of whistleblowers later came forward and told their individual stories which, when pieced together, painted a revolting picture in two parts: First, subtle means were used to incite ordinary people from among the public to start the protests and to lead them without let up no matter how badly the scenes developed. Second, the government employed professionals who trained the impressionable young policemen to respond harshly “on their own” when the public protests began. These policemen were also brainwashed into believing that they had the solemn duty to take the fall and say nothing if and when things went badly. And so, on that fateful day, the two parts of this diabolic scheme came together and worked so well that a number of innocent people were killed, and the government almost got away with it.

Another startling development happened when the world woke up one morning to the news that in the interest of moral clarity, a handful of other nations were standing by the murderous government, lending it full support and encouragement for fighting terrorism and for ridding the world of it. This development brought to light the fact that the clandestine operations were not only an internal operation carried out by the murderous government but were a massive plot that extended beyond the borders of the state.

In fact, using bribery and blackmail, the agents of the terrorist state were able to infiltrate the highest echelons of the world’s superpower. Once at the helm and in control of this much power, the agents arranged for money, weapons and political support to be transferred to their real government back home. Furthermore, they asked for and received the kind of backing that made it impossible to hold their government accountable in the world forums for the crimes against humanity it has been committing almost on a daily basis. Worse, those agents used the power, the prestige and the veto of the superpower to shift the blame onto the protesters whom they called terrorists when their own government was the quintessential terrorist state, and for that matter, the only remaining terrorist state on the planet.

Finally, consider this, dear reader: Anyone who is so driven as to work locally and work internationally to fend off a threat that starts in his own imagination and ends up being the obsession of his life must suffer from a delusion of grandeur that exhorts him to believe he was chosen to rule the world. Sooner or later it will happen that this stance will prompt a would-be rival to challenge him at his game. And when the duel begins between these two, the clock will start to tick and thus announce the coming of the next apocalypse. This is how the cycle of “evil begets evil” has gone on for ages, and this is how it continues to go on even now. And it is that delusion of grandeur which defines the mother of all evil, the original evil we set out to discover and to identify at the beginning.

Let us now get back to the speech of President Obama. Like the man remarked, we can say that yes, evil does exist in the world. But we must add that evil is an ideology practiced by those who hijacked a defunct religion once called Judaism and renamed Zionism. Hitler who was also deluded by his own style of fantasies toyed with the idea of grandeur but, like the sorcerer’s apprentice in Goethe’s poem, he got his act all wrong to end up being deluged by what he feared the most. This happened because, as it he turned out, Hitler was only the made-up evil and not the all powerful maker of evil. On the other hand, the Zionists whose ideology keeps producing the Hitlers of the world, are getting away with butchering the people of Palestine, a policy they have adopted to clear the land of its inhabitants and set up an evil empire which has been a Zionist dream for as long as half the recorded history of mankind.

In their quest to achieve their repugnant objectives, the Zionists have infiltrated the superpower that is America of which Mr. Obama is President. And that is where they have managed to make it possible for themselves and their cohorts to continue the pursuit of the most abominable of crimes against humanity unhindered by any checks or balances. And there lies the irony of Mr. Obama’s speech in which he affirmed the existence of evil but failed to mention that his country was the food upon which that evil sustains itself and gets fortified.

Thus, if the President wants to rid the world of the evil that is gripping it, he should talk to his people and explain how he plans to free his country and theirs of the evil influence to which the country has surrendered. Failing this, he should go before a world forum and ask for help after admitting that America the superpower has been taken over by ideologues whose ideology was formed nearly four thousand years before Hitler was even a sperm in his father’s testicles. With nothing left to restrain them, these ideologues have paralyzed the country with venom so powerful it keeps the superpower completely incapacitated. And this is why he needs the assistance of everyone in the world to save his country and save the world.

This is the first installment in a trilogy relating to Mr. Obama’s speech. The next two installments will appear from time to time over the coming weeks.

The New And Disproved Jewish Narrative

To those who follow the teachings of the Talmud, foremost among them being the rabbis, adapting the old concept of Jewish supremacy to the contemporary scene is of utmost importance because without it, they cannot hold together the narrative that will appeal to the people they wish to influence and bring into the belief that the Jews are a people so exceptional, they stand superior to all the other races and other religions.

What is most vexing about this style of narrative is that it relies as much on putting down the “other” as it does on self-aggrandizement. The Yiddish language which is not really a language but a compendium of insults, calumny and defamations is the iconic offshoot of this mentality. Those who speak it use it to defame everyone else while those who do not speak it concoct a similar construct in the other languages and use that for the same purpose. And all this effort is aimed at establishing what has come to be viewed as a demonic form of political rule appropriately called Jewmocracy. This name was given to the rule when it was discovered that its invention was meant to fool the good people of the earth into converting to the worship of the Jews as a form of political suasion. Powered by the belief that every Jew is a God in his or her own right, many people succumbed to the ritual of sucking up to them whether or not they expected to get something in return.

It is therefore not surprising that in pushing America to hang itself in Iraq then do the same in Afghanistan, the followers of the Talmud came up with successive reasons for the invasion of Iraq and for the return to Afghanistan. The reasons they gave for starting the Iraq adventure filled the gamut from the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in that country to the need to transform the Arab world into an Anglo-Saxon style Jewmocracy. As for the reasons to leave Afghanistan then return to it, the excuses they gave ranged from the completion of the mission in Iraq to the folly of neglecting Afghanistan to the need to liberate the women of that country the same way that the feminists are said to have liberated the women of America.

But having succeeded in dragging America into all those misadventures, what do you do for an encore if you are a dedicated Talmudist and you want to do more for the causes you are championing? Simple, you choose the path of least resistance which is to drag America into another misadventure. And this means you must stitch together a whole new narrative. To this end, you rake your brains long enough until you get lucky and remember that before you recruited the Christian hoaxers of the televised church to do the dirty work for you, you were blaming Christianity for the persecutions that the Jews have suffered throughout the ages. Aware of the fact that the Christians held you responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus, you considered Christmas, which is His birthday, to be a sad day for you and your kind not a day for celebration. And so you fought savagely to do away with Christmas.

As the thing turned out, however, your plan was met with stiff resistance from the good people of the Christian faith who refused to part with their most cherished of traditions. And so you thought to yourself that in the same way you succeeded in making the characters of the televised church teach their flocks you are the new God of America and the Western Jewmocracies, you must now succeed at using Christmas like a tool to stir up and wrench the guts of the Christians whenever you can. You will make these people hate the Muslims, hate the Christian Arabs, and hate everything and everyone that is not dedicated to the glory of Israel and to all the Jewish causes. And voila, you will have put down the foundation for a new narrative which will fit nicely with the contemporary scene and help you implement your demonic scheme. How do you say Eureka in Yiddish!

To put your plan into action, you mobilize the network of agents you have planted in the Jewmocracies of the world especially the English speaking ones, and you instruct them to come up with stories that speak of the hardship which the Christians have encountered at the hands of those god-awful Muslims as the good Christians tried to celebrate what you now call the wonderful day of Christmas. But as your agents get busy fabricating the lies that will perpetuate your brand of hypocrisy, you must remember to instruct them that they must be careful not to lead their audiences by accident to a truth they may not even know exists.

And the truth is that the Christian leaders of Palestine, both Arab and non-Arab, got together and wrote a document they called “Kairos Palestine-2009: A moment of truth.” In it, they appeal to Christians everywhere to wake up and pay attention to the dismal way that Israel treats the Palestinian people and treats the holy places in occupied Palestine. The religious leaders of Palestine sent a copy of the document to all the churches in the world, including the televised churches where the flocks are told to worship the Jews as their gods, in addition to viewing Israel as heaven on earth and to seeing the Palestinians as terrorists. And why were the Palestinians so savagely defamed? Because they refused to move over and cede the place to the converts that are brought into the Judaic fold by the low life preachers of the tube. This is more than the dismal treatment of people; it is a crime against humanity.

But there is a twist in this saga that we must not overlook. Being the ones who taught the low life preachers the nonsense they spew every Sunday, the Talmudists knew they could not trust these characters to do the right thing without further instruction. And so they instructed them to shut the hell up and let the professionally trained agents in the media handle the matter with the finesse that it requires.

And the matter is that these agents must now come up with a contemporary narrative that will use Christmas as a tool to help them drag America into another misadventure in the Arab and/or Muslim world. To accomplish this feat via the Yiddish method which is their preferred way to operate, the agents will throw insults, calumny and defamations at the people they set out to destroy while getting everyone under their influence to create the appropriate background noise that will accompany their activities. In this way, they will all stir up and wrench the guts of the gullible Americans, and will get them to adopt the Judeo-Israeli mentality of killing the innocent for the glory of Israel and for all the Jewish causes.

But will the plan work? Some people say it will work because it has been so nicely orchestrated up to now. And there is no doubt in the mind of these people that everything will fall into place on time and on cue. And when all is said and done, and the plan will have accomplished what it set out to accomplish, the planners will cover their tracks as neatly as they have orchestrated the scheme. And there is no reason to think they will fail in this endeavor because they never failed in similar endeavors before. After all, they have managed to convince a gullible world that the Protocol of the Elders of Zion was a fake document because the Jews never had elders who thought they were of Zion, let alone elders who wrote a protocol advocating the takeover of the world. Thus, in the same way that the old planners left no paper trail that was authentic enough to be traced to them, we must assume that the new planners will do the same thing and succeed.

But there lies a false assumption because we now live in the age of information; and when you live in this age, the thing you do meticulously is record the information that is generated at every moment. In fact, this is the age where everything about everyone is recorded and left for posterity not just because people are fascinated by each others’ antics but because everyone is fascinated by their own antics. As for those who appoint themselves to lead the Jews, they have the added handicap of believing that their work is inspired by God and must, therefore, be given a prominent place in the great Hall of the Antics. Thus, the correct assumption to make is that the deniers of the Protocol will not be able to deny the Scheme which was put together by the Jewish organizations to take over the world by taking control of America. Indeed, it will be easier for someone to deny the Holocaust than for them to deny the Scheme.

Still, in a world that is made of billions of individuals, opinions are generated on every topic and they fall into several categories; and this topic is no exception. Moreover, lost among the multitude of categories, there exists at least one group of people who prefer to sound the alarm and let the innocent Jews know what their self-appointed leaders are doing in their name. Being a member of this group, I can testify that the intention here is to have the ordinary Jews rise up and tell the charlatans that enough is enough, and take control of their own destiny. What I and the other people are battling, however, is a group that believes the Final Solution is a welcome thing as much as it is inevitable. And so, these people want to speed up the process by giving the Jewish leaders all the rope they want to hang the little people they pretend to protect. And this being the age of information where nothing will be lost to posterity, no one will be able to claim that the “Jews” did nothing to merit the punishment which was heaped on them given that everything will be in the record. Not only that, but the record will show that the punishment was brought on them by those who knew exactly what they were doing as they were warned beforehand.

And then there is a group of Jewish leaders who derive comfort from the thought that they can get the gullible suckers in the media and elsewhere to do the dirty work for them while they remain in hiding. But what this group does not understand is that when something is not orchestrated, it falls into a pattern that is recognized as being random. Thus, when a number of things happen and they do not fit the random pattern, they reveal not only that a hand was behind them but also give clues as to the identity of that hand. A little more investigation will then determine whose hand that was. And what these characters are doing is so relentless and ubiquitous nothing can scramble it enough to make it look random. In short, these people will not escape their fate and will be hunted down like they hunted the Nazi criminals.

In consequence of all this, the savage media blitz of sick lies that was made to explode this Christmas season to harm the Muslims and the Christian Arabs is something that will undoubtedly affect the intended victims but the blitz will also help to speed up the advent of the Final Solution because savage media blitzes of sick lies are the stuff that final solutions are made to stamp out. And this solution will not come at the hand of the Muslims or the Arab Christians who are by nature a forgiving lot, but will come at the hands that hand the hanging rope to the Jewish leaders.

You have been warned, people. Don’t come and cry on my shoulder when it happens.

He Used To Say Light Up The Oven

I used to know a guy who would throw his hands up in the air when provoked in a certain way and exclaim: “Light up the oven!” This habit deeply puzzled the people that met him for the first time because as you can imagine, they did not understand what he meant. They would ask why he who is a Jew was advocating the cremation of Jews in a manner that was reminiscent of the worst moments of the Holocaust. And he would explain that he was not advocating such a thing but was merely pointing out that the self appointed leaders of the Jews did something dumb. His aim was to warn that this sort of behavior will inevitably lead to the lighting up of the ovens and the holocausting of Jews like it used to happen in the bad old days.

A situation that would have irritated my Jewish acquaintance seriously enough to make him exclaim those words would be the reading of Tom Gross’s article in the December 3, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal. The article was published under the title: “Building Peace Without Obama’s Interference” and the subtitle: “A promising, Independent Palestine is quietly being developed, with Israeli assistance.” Had you been around my friend long enough to pick up his habit, and had you been reading the Tom Gross article, you too would have been provoked enough to throw your hands up in the air and exclaim: “Light up the oven!”

When you read this article you are hit in the face several times by statements that clearly show this man has reached a level of insanity equal only to the insanity of the editors who look for and run this sort of articles. But the hardest of the hits will have come because of an omission that was so glaring you could only despair at the inability of some people to cease doing the things that provoke violent responses from their fellow human beings. Let me explain. Like the title of the article indicates, the discussion is supposed to be about peace. And like the subtitle indicates, it is supposed to be about Palestine. Yet, the glaring thing is that not once in the article is there mention of how the Palestinian people want to see peace achieved. Instead, the article perpetuates the fantasy that the Palestinians feel good under Israeli occupation because they get “Israeli assistance” in one area of their existence or another. Tom Gross then warns, albeit in a subtle manner, that this newly developed relationship between the Palestinians and the Israelis may come to an end as a result of Obama’s interference.

Tom Gross begins the article this way: “It is difficult to turn on a TV … without finding some pundit … deploring the … dreadful living conditions of the Palestinians … Very little is changing for the Palestinian people on the ground, I heard [the] BBC … tell listeners three times in a 45 minute period the other evening …I had spent that day in the West Bank's largest city, Nablus … The city is bursting with energy, life and signs of prosperity, in a way I have not previously seen in many years of covering the region.” Further down the article, Tom Gross tells which day that was: “In Gaza too, the shops and markets are crammed with food and goods. But while photos from last Friday's Palestine Today newspaper, for example, depict sumptuous Eid celebrations, these are not the pictures you are ever likely to see on the BBC…”

So here it is, after many years of covering the region during which time he admits seeing what the BBC said the place looked like, Tom Gross now complains that the network has failed to mention that on one special day the Palestinians were determined to forget all their troubles so as to celebrate the festival of Eid, their most important religious holiday. Standing on this shaky ground, he then asserts that peace can come to Palestine if only Obama stopped interfering with a process that has the Israelis assist the Palestinians to plant strawberries. Of course as you would expect, Gross does not mention the fact that without the Palestinian farmer, the Jews of Israel would look like walking skeletons because they would be condemned to live on a mere 1000 calories a day which is all that their farmers manage to produce locally.

This is what the invaders who now call themselves Israelis did to the ancient Palestinian land of Milk and Honey which became the Palestinian portion of the Fertile Crescent which is now the land of Israeli desolation and toxic waste. And only when the Israelis were able to secure food assistance from Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and Lebanon (sometimes paid for by the Americans and sometimes by borrowed money guaranteed by America) did they begin to destroy what was left of the farms of Palestine which used to feed them almost free of charge. And to show the world how hideous they can be, they committed their wanton destruction by building an apartheid wall over and around the most fertile of those lands. Now this guy, Tom the grotesque, says that the Israelis are going to help the Palestinians do something that the latter have been doing better than anyone for thousands of years. Who is he kidding? Or must it again be: Light up the oven!

Anyone that has studied the modes of operation used by the Jewish leaders in Israel and in America will see right away that the Tom Gross article is but a continuation of the way that the Jewish organizations have been doing things for many decades now. Their aim is to get as much as they can from America so as to continue the occupation of Palestine, to ethnically cleanse the territory and to eventually annex it to Israel. In the meantime, they do everything they can to quash the possibility that what they receive may come with strings attached. Indeed, they want unlimited amounts of money, weapons, diplomatic backing and the exercise of the American veto in the Security Council to cover up the crimes they commit against humanity but they do not want the checks and balances that would temper their misuse of American largess.

Look how Gross ends the article: “Israelis and Palestinians may never agree on borders ... Not all Germans and French agree who should control Alsace Lorraine. Poles and Russians, Slovenes and Croats, Britons and Irish, and peoples all over the world, have border disputes. But that doesn't keep them from coexisting with one another...” Thus, when you read the entire article and you see this ending, you ask: How is it that the man reaches these conclusions? You then remember that he already answered the question so you back up a few paragraphs and reread this passage: “And perhaps most importantly of all, we had driven from Jerusalem to Nablus without going through any Israeli checkpoints …There was one border post on the return leg of the journey, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, but the young female guard just waved me and the two Palestinians I was traveling with, through.”

What he is saying here is that because on the day of the Eid festival the Israelis had relaxed the afflictions of the occupation, we must now believe that the Palestinians can be made to accept that their relationship with the Israelis is comparable to that which exists between the Germans and the French, the Britons and the Irish, and so on. It is clear from this that what Gross and those like him are incapable of grasping – perhaps because they are endowed with an inferior IQ -- is that such relationships exist between sovereign peoples where both sides accept the relationship because each side gets to be treated as the equal of the other. In drawing the moral equivalence between this relationship and the sort that exists between an occupying power and an occupied people such as it exists between Israel and Palestine, Tom Gross is saying something profoundly ugly. He is saying the thing that would make you throw your hands up in the air and exclaim: Light up the oven!

Indeed, on behalf of Israel and the Jewish organizations, Tom Gross and the Journal are saying that the Palestinians must accept the Israeli occupation as something normal because all that they can aspire to be is second class human beings. The border post on the outskirts of Jerusalem which was mentioned in the article was only manned at the Israeli side and not at both sides which would be the case if the two peoples were treated equally. But this is how Gross and the grotesque Journal that purports to cater to Wall Street want to keep things. Then, they turn around and urge the world to embrace this ugly reality and feel good about it because they claim that the Palestinians have so miraculously come to accept it. Did Obama’s interference cause this miracle? They don’t say so. And when you add to their sick delusion the empirical observation that when they begin something, it is always the first step on a slippery slope that ends with the oven being lit up to take in the Jews, you realize that a holocaust is quietly being fashioned that will consume not only the Jews but many others around the world.

What do Gross, Israel, the Jewish organizations and the Wall Street Journal recommend in the final analysis? In fact, they do more than recommend something; they assert the recommendation forcefully like this: “The truth is that an independent Palestine is now quietly being built, with Israeli assistance. So long as the Obama administration and European politicians don't clumsily meddle as they have in the past and make unrealistic demands for the process to be completed more quickly than it can be, I am confident the outcome will be a positive one.”

You can be certain that neither Tom Gross nor anyone believes a word of this. The history of the region and that of the world negate a positive outcome to a situation where one people occupy another. And no one, however challenged he or she may be, are ignorant of this fact. But this deception is designed to achieve the criminal outcome of ethnically cleansing Palestine and handing it to anyone who converts to what they fraudulently call the Jewish religion. Achieving their dream may be a positive outcome in the eyes of those who cannot live without provoking a holocaust but it is an ugly crime in the eyes of a world that is trying desperately to prevent the eruption of one. Please, do not provoke the lighting of the oven again; the human race cannot stomach another one of these episodes.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone. See you next year.

Moral Clarity To Stun George Orwell

The Brits are conducting an inquiry these days at the start of which a cat that was not well tucked into the sack was let out of the bag at long last. This was the great big secret that everyone knew existed even as those who were in charge of keeping it hidden were denying its existence. Here is the famous secret: Moments after Uncle Sam was kicked in the testicles by the kids he trained and equipped to chase the Soviets out of Afghanistan only to abandon them after they had accomplished their mission, that same uncle turned to the Jewish organizations in New York and Tel Aviv, and took orders from them as to what to do next.

Like masters, the Jewish leaders instructed the foolish uncle to stand for moral clarity in the style of the Talmud and to go kill Iraqis in their bedrooms and their underground shelters instead of dealing with the disgruntled kids he double-crossed in Afghanistan. And guess what happened next! You got it; the said uncle did exactly as instructed. And long before he was finished with the pathetic performance for which he took instructions, he stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier and congratulated himself as if he had accomplished some kind of a noble mission. Of course, he could not explain what exactly he had done because he had no clue what the mission was in the first place as he was totally confused about it. How confused was that? Well, there is an expression in twenty-first Century colloquial North-American English to describe such a situation. It goes like this: He did not know the difference between the mission and a hole in his anatomy. I let you imagine the rest.

George Orwell had a great deal to say about this sort of logic and that kind of behavior. For the readers who may be interested, the most telling of his addresses to humanity is contained in a novel he published in 1945 under the title “Animal Farm”. The novel was meant to serve as an allegory reflecting what Orwell surmised was going on inside the Soviet Union at the time with regard to the logic that animated the communist leaders in the Kremlin and their behavior on the world stage.

In the novel, the pigs overpower the drunken Mr. Jones. They kick him out of his farm, take control of it and put down 7 commandments to guide the other animals as to the principles of Animalism. These principles stand in contrast to Humanism which has come to symbolize human tyranny now considered to be the arch enemy of the animals. But when the exercise of power begins to corrupt the pigs who now rule the farm, and when they start to behave as badly as the humans did in their treatment of the other animals, the pigs find it convenient to amend the commandments so as to bring them in line with the tyranny they brought back to the farm and to justify it. The pigs continue to amend the commandments to keep up with the changing conditions on the farm but when they realize they cannot carry on with this charade much longer, they do away with the commandments altogether and replace them with the all encompassing dictum: “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

The Jewish organizations too put down 7 commandments and handed them to Uncle Sam for enforcement. They are as follows:

Israel shall remain armed to the teeth at all time
No one in the region can be armed anywhere near adequate
Israel shall possess WMD and never declare them
No one in the region can posses WMD whether declared or not
Israel shall threaten to wipe out a neighbor or wipe them all out
No one can speak ill of Israel and stay in one piece
American suckers shall go broke and die enforcing these laws

But how does America translate such laws into policy?

Well, America is governed by a generation that was handed a country which was built into a lovable giant by the older generations. The nation used to be number one in agriculture, industry, commerce, technological innovation, scientific research and many other fields. The country had wealth and a high rate of savings that turned it into a creditor nation to the world. It was respected and consulted in every field of human endeavor by almost everyone on the planet. As a result, America had a military industrial complex that was second to none and a military that did not fight battles to win them because it could win without firing a shot.

Standing on this legacy, using the veto at the Security Council of the United Nations, exploiting its good standing to borrow from the Asians even as the country was going bankrupt and flexing its muscles to coerce the smaller nations, America managed to keep Israel afloat while suppressing every nation in the region that tried to raise its head above a level considered too high for Israel’s comfort.

And while this was going on, the Israelis used the most advanced of the American made smart bombs together with the planes and the helicopters that carried them, and they committed their usual crimes against humanity almost on a daily basis. They pinpointed the Palestinian women and children in their bedrooms, which the American weapons allowed them to do, and they blew them up in the middle of the night. This generated the material that fed the morning media in America which, in turn, recounted the gory stories to their audiences. And this type of stories made the Jewish leaders fantasize about an American population that danced in the streets before going to work and danced on its way there to celebrate the glory of Israel.

But the reality is that the ordinary people in America, like their counterparts everywhere, are never impressed with this Talmudic show of satanic horror. The only people that were impressed with Israel’s use of American weaponry were those in power and wished to hang on to it, and those who aspired to be in power and believed that the Jewish organizations will put them there if they kissed enough rear ends and did so with passion. Someone like the shameless Sarah Palin, for example, had the gall to go on television and congratulate the President for saying something good about Israel at one time but chided him for not saying it with enough passion. Make this woman commander-in-chief of the American armed forces -- which she wants to be -- and she will live and work for one purpose only: the pleasure of getting up in the morning to vacuum-kiss Jewish rear ends for breakfast. She might even invite the chiefs of staff of the American military to join her at the table and have their fill of koshered stuff before heading to the Pentagon and scheme to help destroy Israel’s neighbors or at least weaken them.

How did the Jewish organizations manage to fashion a soul that is as horribly disfigured as that of Sarah Palin? Well, to do this sort of thing, you must have a long term strategy and a bag of short term tactics. Let’s talk about the strategy. You accumulate four thousand years of experience with a litany of trial-and-error examples, some of which worked and some of which failed. When ready to start a new adventure, you take into account the fact that every epoch and every place have their peculiarities thus, you play the game with some flexibility as you keep adapting to the changing circumstances, and you emulate the examples that worked in the past. In the English speaking world, the best way to play the game is to do the sort of thing that would have stunned George Orwell, the thing that would make him turn in his grave.

For example, the Jewish organizations began their conquest of the English speaking world by “educating” the public and by “sensitizing” it to the effect that to criticize anything Jewish or Israeli was to be anti-Semitic. This meant that the culprit who would engage in such criticism would be calling for a holocaust that would do away with Jews in a final solution that would be truly final. At the same time, the organizations practiced the Yiddish discourse which consists of destroying by character assassination the people they want to see eliminated. This is easy to do when you are fluent in Yiddish because the language is not really a language but a dictionary of defaming invectives. Actually, you do not even have to speak Yiddish, you can only be familiar with the culture and you’ll do fine.

The leaders of the Jewish organizations practiced that discourse sometimes with humor, sometimes tongue-in-cheek and sometimes with deadly seriousness; all of which had the effect of confusing the public as to how it could push back against a situation that sickened it no end. Thus, at the end of the day, the net result of the drive to educate and to sensitize the public was that everyone who had the knowledge and the talent to criticize Israel was kept out of the English media while everyone who would kiss Jewish rear ends and support Israel was taken into the fold whether or not they had any talent.

And this was not all. While securing control of the media, the Jewish leaders accumulated the dirt on the Christian leaders of the televised church and a number of other personalities who were in the public eye. Letting all these people know they had the dirt on them, they blackmailed them into making it their preoccupation to go out and preach the Jewish narrative of boosting the splendors of Israel. To this end, they made them recite the talking points that flaunted the accomplishments of Israel however phony they were, and the worthiness of the Jewish causes however fraudulent they were. They got the church leaders to say that the Jews are gods who should be worshiped like Jesus. And they got the other personalities to sing the praises of Israel at the same time as they showered her enemies with demagogic fabrications that suited the moment. And to make it all look like it came from the heart -- or a foot below that -- they lit up a fire in the bellies of those characters before letting them go out and spread the new gospel; which they did with a passion that must have pleased the likes of Sarah Palin.

Let’s now talk about the tactics.

In every discussion they had, the Jewish leaders soft-pedaled the point that Jews must not be compared with someone else; and Israel must not be compared with another country. With this, they advanced the subtle point that Jews stand apart from everyone, and Israel stands apart from everything. When this is soaked in, which it always does by the force of incessant repetition, the audience is conditioned to accept the proposition that there is never a moral equivalence between what Israel does and what someone else does. Thus, Israel can commit any crime that someone else would commit but Israel can never be held accountable for the crime in the same way that someone else would be. In fact, one of the Jewish leaders made this assertion sometime ago and neither he nor they ever retracted it. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.” Now you know why George Orwell keeps turning in his grave.

Furthermore, because any possibility of a push back against this sort of atrocious logic was eliminated beforehand, the Jewish leaders could proceed to cement the notion that Israel has the right to defend itself on the mere suspicion that it may be attacked. It can do so by launching what it calls a pre-emptive strike against anyone with or without notice because the best defense is a good offense. And when Israel does it, the Jewish leaders fantasize about seeing the Americans dance in the street on their way to work to celebrate the glory of Israel.

Knowing all of this, it is now easy to understand how the Jewish leaders managed to get the American officials to judge the conduct of everyone on the planet and to ask for punitive action where they believe malfeasance was committed at the same time as they block the world from judging the conduct of Israel such as it happens all the time but more specifically as it happened with the Goldstone report which awaits being sent to the Security Council. Once again “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

Now, listen to me America; you are making a big mistake taking ownership of Israel’s criminal activities. And remember this; believing that your finances were limitless you went bankrupt backing Israel’s every political and economic whim for decades. Likewise, believing that your moral standing is unshakable, you will soon find yourself in league with the likes of Pol Pot and other mass murderers if you continue to interchange your values with those of Israel or you merge them with those of the Jewish organizations whose only objective is to ethnically cleanse all of Palestine and to colonize it.

I say to you, America: Back off; you don’t have much left that can be used to boost the fake glory of Israel or to support the fraudulent Jewish causes. It is time that Israel and the Jews do what everyone does which is to win the respect and the affection of their neighbors and all human beings by dealing with people the way that ordinary humans do, not the way that the fake gods or the true disciples of Satan do.

And this is the sort of moral clarity that will let George Orwell rest in peace at long last.

Taking The Plunge Into Renaissance

If, as a nation, you are already at the leading edge of knowledge, culture and industry, and if the right conditions come together and give you a sudden upward lift that is unprecedented in scope and intensity, you will most likely experience a renaissance that will prompt you to score spectacular advances in all fields of human development. For centuries after that, you will create and build signposts that will forever bear testimony to your accomplishments and speak of your contribution to world Civilization.

Your growth up to the time of the renaissance will have been a natural organic growth, and the construct of your culture will have been a solid one as a result. The renaissance itself will have happened as a consequence of the advances made up to the time that it appeared; and when it takes hold and solidifies, its effect will be felt throughout the culture of which it will soon become an integral part. In due course the renaissance will help the culture to crystallize into a construct that will come to be recognized as a full fledged civilization. In fact, this has been the historical record of the European nations in the cycle that began in the Middle Ages and culminated with the Renaissance that bloomed to become Western Civilization, a force that took on the dominant civilizations of the time and overwhelmed them.

If, on the other hand, time has passed you by and you find yourself to be underdeveloped compared to the other nations despite what you may have accomplished in the past, you have much work to do to rise again and take your place under the sun. For one thing, you can provoke a long march toward an artificial renaissance aimed at catching up with those ahead of you. And to succeed in this, you will have to implement a plan that will allow you to make advances in every field of human endeavor and thus rise to a great height one step at a time.

Indeed, if you were underdeveloped by the time the Twentieth Century had come around, it is likely that you have provoked an artificial renaissance already. But let it be known that the growth you may have simulated was by no means an organic one. Unless you succeeded in closely mimicking the organic growth of the developed nations, your own development will have been less than perfect and would have created mismatches that resonated throughout the culture and spilled over to the rest of the world. In fact, this has been the case with most of the developing nations in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and South America where they experienced bouts of fits and starts as they ironed out their mismatches.

Despite all of that, however, the worldwide situation remained manageable till such time that the unintended consequence appeared out of nowhere to remind us that we cannot predict the march of history before things happen. And what happened was that the advanced nations, known collectively as the West, woke up one day to realize that by using a quirk of the economic system created by them, the developing nations were putting them out of business one trade at a time. And this is the situation in which we find ourselves today, a situation that has implications serious enough to cry out for attention. The predicament in which we are is real because the world has been flattened by modern technology and because everyone’s interest has become intertwined with everyone else’s interest. To paraphrase the metaphors and to mix them, we find ourselves in the same boat ready to sail together or drown separately.

And this interdependence is what exploded the economic crisis of the year 2008; an event that some people had predicted but no one had imagined would be this severe and this widespread. Luckily, the central bankers in the West had learned the lesson of eight decades previous to that and they succeeded in stabilizing their economies. They pulled away from the precipice that would have taken them down a second great depression while the other economies of the world managed to come back to life in record time.

So then, where do we go from here? The short answer is that the world economy needs to be overhauled and that everyone needs to get on with their moment of renaissance. The developing nations know what they must do and they are doing it. If anything, they tend to go overboard doing the right thing and they should be told politely but firmly that they need to restrain themselves when challenging the Western economies which are still fragile. As for the latter, the European part of those economies had begun a program of sustained growth before the crisis; and they may have to modify it in order to continue muddling through till the developing nations develop enough to stop throwing cheap goods at them.

The hard core problem that remains is the United States of America. This is a nation that has existed in a perpetual cycle of renaissance due to its history. First, the Natives were slaughtered and their wealth looted; a lucrative business by any measure except the moral one. Then, slave labor and capital were brought to America to fuel the agrarian economy. Then, immigration caused by famine elsewhere in the world brought skilled labor and new capital to build the infrastructure of the modern industrial economy. Then the great wars of Europe brought in more capital along with the entrepreneurs, scientists and thinkers of all kind that catapulted the country to the status of a superpower, rivaled for a period by the Soviet Union then by no one.

It was this history that sustained America’s uninterrupted growth throughout the centuries. However, the growth was a useful development in many ways but useless and dangerous in a few other ways; and this is what planted the seeds for America’s current woes. Indeed, no longer is there a native population to slaughter and to loot. What is left of these people is an impoverished group sitting on a land that hides very little in mineral resources. Also, no longer are slaves brought into the country to pick cotton or to man the sweat shops where the cotton and the other fibers are made into garments. And no longer are there skilled laborers or highly educated individuals desperate to go to America by the boat load as it used to be. If anything, there is a reverse brain drain which takes people back to their countries of origin where they see better opportunities to raise a family.

And while the population of those who do things in America is diminishing, the population of those who do little or nothing is increasing. These are the youngsters who live and loiter in the inner cities; those who have little or no education, no skill, no job history and no hope of ever joining the regular economy. Aside from this group, there are the people who already committed more than their share in the realm of crime. They sit in the jails of the nation looked after by the state at a very high cost to the taxpayers. It is therefore clear that America’s moment of renaissance will have to touch on all these areas simultaneously or there will be no renaissance in that country. And this would be a serious occurrence given that the rest of the world is moving toward a global arrangement where everyone will have a place under the sun.

What should America do?

It has been said that America’s political genius comes to the fore at election time because the people always choose the mix of candidates that suits the moment from among those who run for office. If this is true, then the election of Mr. Barack Obama as President must have had a purpose, and the message of the people must be that the biracial community organizer they have elected holds the key to America’s salvation.

If so, what this man should do for America is take the big risk and plunge into a multi-layered plan that will embrace renaissance in all its elements. The plan will have a long term objective requiring a mid term objective to be completed which, in turn, will require a short term objective to move forward. The work will proceed at all levels simultaneously and make visible progress on a weekly if not daily basis. It will be a massive project that will start immediately and take as much as a generation to complete. And it will be a project that the whole nation will be happy to rally around and be a part of.

The President will start the ball rolling with a prime time address to the nation in which he will make the following points:

1 - We shall build a society in which our wellbeing will no longer depend on the importation of geniuses, hard working or well motivated people from abroad to fuel our economy. Our own schools will produce such geniuses and our society will provide the reason to motivate them.

2 - We shall accomplish all this by repealing the government subsidies that build bridges to nowhere and factories that turn wholesome food into fuels that harm the environment and ruin the economy. We shall also refrain from getting involved in costly and deadly foreign adventures. And we shall use the money saved to implement the programs which will encourage the development of a local talent that can imagine a sustainable economy and can build it from scratch.

3 - Because the repeal of a subsidy always hurts the state and the district to which it was going, we will make sure that every state will gain as much as it loses. In fact, we shall ask the senators, the house representatives and the governor of every state to participate in the decisions that will determine how the old should be phased out and the new phase in.

4 - We shall continue to adhere to the principle of free trade with foreign nations, and to the principle of a minimum wage at home but we shall take another look at both so as to refine them and make them work better for everyone.

5 - With regard to free trade, we no longer subscribe to the winner-take-all quirk that some people worship as an economic philosophy. On the contrary, we consider it essential that every nation be given the right to protect certain sectors of its economy up to a negotiated level so as to safeguard national security or to maintain the cohesion of its people. We believe that the level ought to be 30% of the goods and services that the nation consumes in a given sector but this level is negotiable. We shall discuss these ideas with the rest of the world and see to it that they are adopted. And the good news is that this system will replace the practice of gaming the current set-up which everyone knows does not work and tries to get around.

6 - This done, we shall call on private enterprise to come up with concrete plans for every state of the union whereby the hard core unemployed among the young will be housed, educated, employed, supervised and paid the wage of an apprentice. This will be less than the minimum wage and will remain in effect until such time the candidate is ready to join the regular economy. These people will be making the cheap goods we now import from abroad such as textiles, leather goods, furniture, souvenirs, building material, toys, appliances, electronics and so on.

7 - Perhaps as many as ten million youngsters living in the inner cities will benefit from this plan. It will be a massive job to build the facilities that will house them, educate them and employ them; and it will be a massive job to recruit the professionals who will stand by them where they will be lodged, educated, trained and put to work.

8 - A similar program will be implemented in parallel so as to achieve the same result with the people who are incarcerated. These people will be paid a wage that ranges between the current prison pay and that of apprentice. Some of the money will be kept in trust so that when they leave jail, they will have money to start them in life. With this and with a basic education, a skill and a job history, they will be less prone to recidivate.

9 - Perhaps as many as two million people now incarcerated will benefit from the plan because it will steer them away from crime and shepherd them toward a wholesome life. And this too will be a massive undertaking to pull off.

10 - Both plans will begin immediately and may have to go on for a generation. They will stimulate the regular economy right away because private business will be called upon to realize them. Because the money to fund them will come from the elimination of the subsidies now wasted on useless projects, the material benefit to the economy will be enormous while the cost will be minimal. As for the moral benefit to society, it will be incalculable when you consider the effect that they will have on the current generation and future ones.

11 – In addition to that, the products that these people will be making will replace what we import from abroad, a fact that will help our balance of payment. And there is one more thing that should fire up your imagination. The labor force working in American manufacturing today barely reaches the 20 million mark; and it is on the shoulders of these people that our 14 trillion dollar economy rests. If we add 10 million more skilled and semi-skilled workers to this force, think of what the economy will look like.

12 - With these two plans, we launch our renaissance. The Chinese whose population is 4 times the size of ours have managed to pull 500 million people out of backwardness and push them into modernity. We should be able to do the same with 10 or 12 million of our people. And the result to the nation will be the complete transformation of our society. This was the mandate given to us by the last election as I understand it, and I urge every one of you to find a way to participate in this long term national project.

A Senate Of Jekylls And Of Hydes

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill that should extend health care coverage to most Americans, and the US Senate is about to debate its own version. If the Senate bill passes and if reconciled with the House version, America will have given itself the document by which to join the civilized world. Like their counterparts in the advanced nations, most Americans will at last be covered with a blanket of security. And this will happen not because there is an incentive to looking after one’s own people but because it is the right thing to do. However, despite the fact that this much is at stake, the battle in the Senate will not be an easy one because this is not a chamber of Saints but a chamber of Jekylls and of Hydes. What transpired during the debates that unfolded, first in the country at large then in the House of Representatives, says that we are in for quite a show.

If you followed those debates you could not have missed the arguments that were made by prominent people such as the multitude of current legislators, the handful of former officials and the swarm of talking heads that staked out some truly astonishing positions. In general, these people were not the least bit shy to say it suits them fine to let 15% of the population go without health coverage so that the money saved may be spent on research and development to make health care better for the remaining 85% who now enjoy what they said was the best health care system in the world. These people and their talking heads deliberately avoided saying that America has the best coverage because they knew this was demonstrably false, so they said America has the best system because they could point to a handful of medical centers of excellence that are among the best in the world. What the talking heads failed to mention, however, was that such centers are not the exclusive domain of America but that they exist everywhere in the developed world as well as in some emerging nations where Americans increasingly go to get treatment.

Be that as it may, the question to ask at this stage is this: Have some people in America decided there are a trade-off and a choice to be made here? If so, have they chosen what amounts to a Robin Hood in reverse? When pressed to answer these questions, the people who previously staked out astonishing positions now go round and round unable to say anything that makes sense. And when you dig deep into what came out their pen and out the generator of their sound bites, you find them to be saying that because the centers of excellence cater to the rich, a coverage that is universal will take away this privilege from the poor fellows. Someone will then ask in utter puzzlement: what poor fellows? And the brazen answer will come back: the poor rich fellows, you see. Amazed and flabbergasted, you will dig deeper into the matter only to discover that the brouhaha was instigated by the insurance companies because they stand to loose business by losing not a captive audience given that very few listen to them, but a captive population because the one thing from which no one can escape is an illness, especially a catastrophic one afflicting you or a member of your family. You are in the grip of the insurance companies and they want you there without a public option to set you free or give you the least bit of hope because they feed on your misery and that of your loved ones.

In essence then, what these people use as an excuse to further the interests of the insurance companies is the argument that the centers of medical excellence are financed with the money that would go to cover the people now living without coverage. And should the coverage be extended to everyone via something like a public option, money will be diverted away from the centers, an idea they oppose because it runs contrary to the dogma to which they adhere. This is the dogma that says some people must make do with less or do with nothing at all so that a handful of people may have more, and more of the best. This is the essence of the capitalist ideal as they see it, one that the rest of the world sees as peculiar only to America, one that was derided as being Cowboy Capitalism.

To an outside observer like myself living in Canada and truly enjoying one of the best universal coverage on the planet, I look at these arguments with amazement and wonder what happened to these Americans. Over the past half century, I saw America go into spasms of every kind but they all meant to separate the issues so as to look at each one of them in isolation and come to understand it better. But what seems to happen now is that every issue is melded into a nebulous master narrative that says: If you are against this or against that, you are against the whole. And since we are whole and nobody else is, if you are not with us half-heartedly you are against us wholeheartedly. Not only that, you are also at war against us which puts us at war against you. But if you want to switch sides and be with us, be advised that your marching order for the day is to oppose universal coverage and to fight it tooth and nail.

To me, this means America has gone back to the business of eating from the cake of its own Benign Neglect. But this time the country is doing it with a twist that is different from anything I have seen before and so I ask: What are these people up to now? To answer the question I first observe that benign neglect is not new to America. The term was borrowed from British history by the late Senator Patrick Moynihan who suggested to then President Richard Nixon that America adopt a policy of benign neglect toward the African American segment of the population. But after all these years, it became increasingly clear to me that the word benign was injected in the term for the sole purpose of making the neglect look like a misunderstanding. I make this judgment based on my assessment of Moynihan’s conduct and I conclude that the real intent of benign neglect was more malicious than it was innocent.

How malicious was that? Well, things get a bit complicated here because I can only explain a deliberate misunderstanding by discussing another misunderstanding that was not deliberate but were, in fact, innocent. Like I said, it is going to get complicated so please bear with me. Most people believe that the phrase “Let them eat cake” means “Let them go to hell” when in reality it was meant to convey the opposite. This is how the story goes: Long ago, France ran out of food, and famine was beginning to set in. When told that the people had no bread, the Princess in charge uttered what comes naturally to someone living in a palace. Normally, the discourse would go something like this: We’ll just have to eat cake till the servants are done baking the bread. And this was the spirit in which the Princess said “Let them eat cake”. Legend has it that Marie Antoinette was the Princess who uttered the phrase and if anything, that woman lived up to her reputation in that she demonstrated how little she understood the difficult times through which her country was passing.

Marie Antoinette did not commit a deliberate act of malice but was the victim of an innocent misunderstanding created by her inability to grasp the complexity of the situation. However, given her stature and her privilege, this is not how the utterance sounded at the time or how it survived to this day. In fact, the utterance is now taken to mean “Let them go to hell” which is exactly what Benign Neglect was meant to convey by the late Senator and by those who wore his mantle after his passing. But whether we have here a case of let them eat cake or a case of benign neglect, most people see it as a case of the mask dropping to reveal an aspect of American reality no one thought existed. Hence, let it be known that we are witnessing the unfolding of a twist in American history that is gradually revealing the uniqueness of our time. It is that the neglect is no longer directed against the African American segment of the population or against any one ethnic group but is directed against anyone that may be unfortunate enough to fall between the cracks of this imperfect system.

Beyond all of this, there is an aspect of culture and society that needs to be clarified. What is puzzling is that a situation such as the one described above should be associated with the American people who are thought to be among the most generous in the world. These people donate as much as a quarter of a trillion dollars every year to various causes in societies near and far yet they fight ferociously to deny life saving medical coverage to a good chunk of their own society. They say with a straight face that they lead this fight because it will cost too much to cover everyone when the reality is that the money required to cover the uninsured will amount to less than what they donate. So why are these people the way they are? Is it because charity is tax deductible while health coverage is not? Is this the only reason?

This may be one reason. After all, incentives dispersed by the government greatly influence the decisions that people make every day. But there could be another reason too. It could be that the Americans are ruled by the power of the same old dogma which also says it is a sin for government to distribute the wealth of a nation. As hard as it is to understand this self-contradictory argument, it gets harder still when we assess the oddity of a situation where the people who adhere to a dogma that is this harsh can also be this charitable.

When someone exhibits this kind of split personality, the stereotype that comes to mind is that of Robert Stevenson’s novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This is the story of a medicine man who produces a substance which allows him to switch back and forth from being a helpful doctor to being a hurtful drifter. The story serves as a metaphor reflecting an America that is a kind of Dr. Jekyll without borders who heals people around the globe. But the story also reflects an America that is a kind of Mr. Hyde who deliberately abandons his people to benign neglect as they hunger for a medical coverage they can depend on. What a modern horror story this is!

The double image of America does not reassure the nations of the world as to the trustworthiness of that country. Consequently, this image must be changed, and the US Senate has the opportunity to do just that. In fact, the Senate can bring back the image of an America that the world used to love and respect. It can do that by morphing the current image into that of a Dr. Jekyll minus the associated shadow of Mr. Hyde. While I have no illusions about a Senate that is made of individual Jekylls and individual Hydes, I am convinced that the upcoming debate on health care will tell the world whether the Senate as a whole is closer to being a Dr. Jekyll or a Mr. Hyde. And the way in which the world will come to view the Senate will be the way in which the world will eventually come to see America as a nation.

So go ahead, Senators, do your thing and show the world what you are made of -- what America is made of. Say yes to your people and the world will believe in your generosity. Say no to your people and the world will see you as the incestuous father who will do anything to look saintly in the eyes of his neighbors but then rapes his own children when no one is there to witness the horror.
