LEt'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESCIENTIFIC IDEAS ABOUT HUMAN ORIGIN AND RACE, WE ARE ONE!

I have noticed over the last year or so that so-called "protocols of zion" are being circulated more and more on the internet as if they represent some real world conspiracy by Jewish people. I have read parts of the so-called "protocols" and they don't seem like they should be taken very seriously. Just consider one allegation of these so-called protocols. Jews supposedly agree to give other people bad advice. The conspiratorial mind-set suggests that Jews have agreed to deceive all the stupid goyim by giving them bad advice. This seems laughable.

This sort of "conspiracy" seems absurd on its face. Who is to say that Jews will be giving everyone advice or even be listened to or give the same advice? Then any group can presumably see that bad advice is bad! Can't people think for themselves?


My unstudied criticism of the so-called "protocols of zion" is that these allegedly Jewish conspiracy documents hardly constitute evidence for a great Jewish conspiracy. It is my understanding that the document's origin is in question, but I am confident that the so-called "protocols of zion"don't represent any sort of Jewish agreement or conspiracy.

I am looking for a more comprehensive critique of this ridiculous document but reading portions of it, it was difficult for me to imagine taking it seriously as anything but a document meant to harm the reputation of Jews. Furthermore, while "world Jewry" has sponsored many organizations and passed many resolutions and had many varied opinions about everything these so-called protocols seem like they were written by someone with an anti-Jewish agenda.

Yet even with the absurd assumption that people will automatically take bad advice too many are misled into believing that the so-called protocols represent some sort of real conspiracy by most if not all Jews. Prior to this particular antisemitic white supremacist act of violence I was already thinking that someone should criticize these so-called protocols and expose the circulation of this fraudulent document as part of a conspiracy to misrepresent reality and in particular as part of a conspiracy to misrepresent and demonize Jews.

Then this ancient Nazi shoots up the National Holocaust Museum and so I hope others will better understand the urgency with which we must directly criticize racist and unscientific ideas about human origins. What seems obvious to some of us may require explanation for someone else. This Nazi probably believes so-called "Whites" are superior to Jews or other so-called races, in part because he embraces some unscientific story about God concocting one race out of mud and another out of who knows what but the point is that these religious creation ideas are the ideological basis for the belief in "White" superiority and the right to kill the supposedly inferior people who are not "White". Let those of us who are fortunate enough to have a basic science education openly agree to provide scientific education to others who may be in need of it.

As noted while reading about the white supremacist shooter who killed Officer Johns at the National Holocaust Museum I noticed that it was reported that he took these so-called protocols very seriously in his own racist and openly anti-Semitic screed. I guess that fits in with his apparently signing documents with the salutation "heil hitlr"! Like Hitler, this man was apparently pathologically obsessed with a nonexistent but omnipresent Jewish conspiracy.

The shooter also has had various racist beliefs about "gene pools" and some sort of "white supremacist" racial purity goals.

This man's faith based violence could serve as an opportunity to criticize and reject prescientific views about "race" and "racial superiority". Much can be done to educate the working class and all sectors about the origins of the human race. While there are religious myths about human origins the theory of natural selection and evolutionary theory in general has decisively demonstrated that all humans are essentially the same species. The racist believes that each ethnic or cultural group is so genetically different from the others that there are essentially different species but biology and science prove this is nonsense.

This crazy old Nazi proves that embracing nonsense and prescientific thinking can lead us to mayhem and catastrophe. While this fellow is probably uneducable in this area I believe that many who have been misled will prefer the candle of reason and the facts of science to religious dogmas, especially religious dogmas based on hate filled lies like white supremacist origins myths.

HITLER AND WHITE SUPREMACY STILL INSPIRE ACTS OF MURDER

It is an outrage that someone attacked people at the National Holocaust museum. I have just heard about it from a phone call this p.m. and it is difficult to believe, some old racist fanatic who likes Hitler of all things gunning people down.

Apparently this guy was some sort of Nazi or admirer of Nazis. It is difficult for me to believe that this has happened. No one can say antisemitism is dead.

This elderly fellow apparently was very much into believing in conspiracies including the Federal Reserve. He denied the holocaust but seems to have been drawn to commit a little massacre of his own! I don't get it and I hope few Americans have sympathy for this kind of insanity and disorientation.

Of course his white supremacist ideology seems to be what justified this violence in his own mind. That is why we cannot end campaigning against anti-semitism and white supremacy.

ROBERT DREYFUS OF THE NATION EXPOSES GOVERNMENT PLOT TO BOMB JEWS

It appears that Robert Dreyfus, of The Nation magazine, has uncovered a lot of facts, which if true, suggest that the terrorist plot revealed yesterday was almost entirely the result of the work of the employees and operatives of a Joint Terrorism Task Force. Maybe it was just the FBI but it seems to me that a lot of Joint Terrorism Task Force folks are either authorized to say they are with the FBI or say it without such authorization as they operate around the country out of their various semi-secret headquarters.

[As an aside, the reader might think about supporting The Nation because it is not only a longstanding institution with a somewhat progressive slant but because it will probably do real journalism while institutions like the NYT which are now obsessed with profits and bottom lines are likely to either go out of business or to pander to special interests who are happy to manipulate and distort, even invent the news.]

A link to the Dreyfus article is below and is on Alternet, another insitution that deserves the support of those who are not afraid to challenge injustice and the concentrated power elites who
seem to be behind most of our problems in the United States and the world today.

I am also putting the link on the side of the article.

Dreyfus reports that these men were not only incredibly gullible and stupid but that they were outsiders to the mosque with which authorities have tried to associate them. Apparently the agent provocateur was identified by people in the mosque itself almost immediately because he openly tried to recruit for violent acts and everyone stayed away from him.

Were the alleged terrorists Muslim? Dreyfus seems to think that they were not. If so, who is saying that they are Muslims? What is the agenda of the liars?

Dreyfus speculates that this news came about as part of Dick Cheney's campaign to defend and extend torture. This is consistent with my fear that the Joint Terrorism Task Forces may be full of Cheneyite sleeper cells ready to sabotage Democrats and what remain of a democratic republic.

On the other hand the timing may be an Obama effort to prove he is somehow on the ball in fighting terrorism. It is a plot that developed originally under Cheney or Bush but Obama may have embraced it, like many other Bush legacies, as his own.

The idea that four mentally retarded criminals can be lined up to do stupid evil things is not a new idea. Dreyfus notes that a number of other terrorist plots turned out to be rubbish even though they were publicized and are probably remembered by the public as real threats that were stopped by vigorous law enforcement.

Such plots, once conceived of by the Joint Terrorism Task Force do require actual terrorists to arrest and prosecute. So they found these four guys who could be labeled "zombies" because of their actual inability to much more than follow their orders from the task force organizers of the plot. This may allow ambitious and unscrupulous
prosecutors to advance their careers and make a case but it has nothing to do with fighting any real national security threat and may in fact be a bigger national security threat, Cheneyite sleeper cells that is, that AQ ever will be.

AQ suicide commandos carried out a surprise attack inasmuch as they never planned on surviving 9-11. They killed a lot of people and some Americans began to realize that the United States cannot be perfectly protected and that AQ really was a threat, something Bush Cheney denied in words and deeds well into Bush's second term.

They mocked and dismissed warnings from the Clinton National Security Advisor about AQ. Once the trade center was in ruins they said they wanted to fight AQ but went to Iraq while AQ continued to manuever and grow in Afghanistan, Pakistan and even in Iraq where such things never had been. Now Obama and the world face an Islamist
challenge in Pakistan that depended on the Bush-Cheney madness in Iraq where there was no threat to the United States.

No fanatic could make this up. We need to clean out the Cheneyite sleeper cells before they destroy our republic completely.

CONDEMN PLOTS TO BLOW UP SYNAGOGUES

It is unfortunate to see, once again, another plot to harm Americans and, in particular, to harm Jewish people. On the other hand we are pleased that the plot was broken before it was executed. Of course the Bush-Cheney junta actively denied the AQ threat before 9-11 leaving America and New York City open to terrorist attacks. This event appears to be unrelated to AQ.

The extent that the recent plot was not only facilitated but also designed by the Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently unknown.

The news broke yesterday and other than the not unusual pattern of several career criminals being supplied with fake weapons by the FBI the details are yet to be revealed. Wasn't there a plot a lot like this one uncovered during the Bush administration?

Of course, the 9-11 hijackers, while not exclusively United States citizens, as in this case, were also heavily monitored up to the point of their devastating attacks. If only the defacto (Cheney) or dejure (Bush) President of the time had taken the AQ threat seriously they too would have been rounded up before they could carry out their attacks! If Cheney was as much on the ball as he claims he is 9-11 would have never happened! Yes, Cheney and Bush pooh poohed the AQ threat even though a lot of surveillance pointed to these plotters being on the way to committing terrorist acts.

Of course, the targets were American as much as Jewish since the idea was supposedly to shoot down American aircraft. Just because the wannabe terrorists were cultivated and guided by an FBI informant doesn't make them innocent. These petty criminals and wannabe big time terrorists will have their day in court and more detail will presumably come out then.

Perhaps we will be able to evaluate the actual capabilities of these haters when the trial unfolds. Such trials should be public and televised so we can all learn more about this particular plot and how this sort of apparently home grown antisemitic and anti-Americanism develop.

While these plotters were apparently unable to determine that their FBI provided weaponry was inoperative Timothy McVeigh and others actually had the training and know how to do the terrorist deeds they ultimately executed. While the 9-11 plotters were under a great deal of surveillance I am not aware of any law enforcement tracking of McVeigh or his cohorts before the attack in Oklahoma City.
