A universe where good is bad, and bad is good

One of the most intriguing ideas that's treated in science fiction once in a while, is that of an alternate universe resembling ours in many ways, but for a few exceptions that offer the opportunity to create delicious drama.

One of the exceptions has it that in the alternate universe, good as we know it in ours, is bad out there, and bad as we know it in our universe, is good out there.

There used to be a visual method by which to analogize how two opposites contrast against each other. It was the black and white photography that was done with the use of celluloid. You would take a picture on a plastic membrane where white would appear as black, and black would appear as white. This was called the negative. And from the negative, you would develop the positive picture where the two colors revert back to what they were.

When multi-color photography was invented, the negative celluloid appeared odd. That's because it was difficult to make out which color was the opposite of which other color. Eventually, a method was developed by which the colors were distributed on a curve in such a way as to trace a tongue, which is why the curve was nicknamed “the tongue.” From there, you could pick out the opposites, and imagine how the picture will look like when the positive is developed.

The beauty about all of this, is that it was an effective way to draw a parallel when you had a situation where an occurrence meant one thing to someone, and meant the opposite to someone else. Too bad none of this is familiar to the new generations growing up in the age of electronic photography.

In any case, while all of this can be entertaining as long as it stays in the realm of science and drama, it can represent a serious danger if and when it becomes a metaphor to reflect a real situation. Unfortunately, this is what's happening at this time. You can see how it works when you read the article that came under the title: “The Democrats' 2020 platform resurrects Obama's hostility to Israel and appeasement of Iran,” written by Carol S. Greenwald, and published on August 2, 2020 in The American Thinker.

When you read the article, you'll encounter dozens of postures taken by Greenwald that will shake you as you realize that what's virtuous in your universe is considered sinful in the universe of the writer, and vice-versa. Of the multitude of postures, I review a couple of passages as follows:

First, there is this basket of lamentations:

“The Democratic party's platform rejects regime change as the goal of US policy. Democrats will call off the race to war and prioritize diplomacy, de-escalation and dialogue. Democrats believe the United States should not impose regime change on other countries and reject that as the goal of US policy”.

Of course, in the normal universe, this kind of conduct would be the sort that humanity has always wanted to see discharged by a great power. It is obvious, however, that it is not the case in the inverted universe where black is white, and white is black; where blue is yellow, and yellow is blue. In fact, in the alternate universe of Carol Greenwald, the language of the warmongers is considered the norm, whereas the language of peaceful coexistence is considered weird and frowned upon.

Second, there is this other basket of lamentations:

“The platform does not guarantee that Israel will remain a [racist] Jewish state. According to Democrats, BDS is not unfairly singling out Israel; it is protected free speech. The democrat platform's opposition to settlement expansion will lead to endless criticism of Israel. Biden said he would open a consulate in eastern Jerusalem for the Arab Palestinians. With its firm opposition to [annexation,] the Democrats' party platform leaves the Palestinian Authority with no incentive to negotiate”.

Look at the number of inversions, typical of an alternate universe, which Carol Greenwald has packed in a single-breath statement. She wants the American Democratic Party to guarantee maintaining Israel as a racist and fascist state. She wants the American Democratic Party to suppress the democratic right of the American people who might oppose the government's attempt to force them consuming Israeli products they find offensive to their sense of high morality.

And that’s not all because the list continues: Carol Greenwald wants the Democratic Party to embrace the expansion of settlements in the occupied territories because opposing such expansion will cause Israel to be criticized. She wants to dictate to America where it can and cannot open a consulate. And she wants Joe Biden to wear the triple-hat of Nazism, Fascism and Communism by doing what Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin did when they used the method of starving people as a weapon to bring them to their knees and beg for mercy.

Here is how Carol Greenwald has expressed that burning desire by making use of the subtleties which make-up the Judeo-Yiddish culture: “With its firm opposition to [annexation,] the Democrats' party platform leaves the Palestinian Authority with no incentive to negotiate”.

You see, my friend, inflicting hunger on those whom the Jews seek to conquer, is a weapon they have used since biblical times to incentivize those who could not defend themselves, to surrender quickly. Examples of this behavior abound in the Old Testament. Also, examples abound in the constant Jewish nudging of America to starve the Palestinian and Iranian peoples.

And so, it took one named Donald J. Trump, to love the idea so much as to send the good name of America into a Jewish sewer to have the demonic idea implemented. Trump then sat with his mentor, Netanyahu the Bibi, to watch the spectacle of two heroic peoples fight the calamity inflicted on them by the two satanic characters … and winning against the fantastic odds.

May the Force be with them in this universe and the alternate.
