RE: ...all insanity can drive out reality from one’s head.

ITW: thank you for bringing this discussion back to ‘reality’

certainly others find it equally irritating when expressions like ‘paranoid’, ‘delusional’,
‘off your meds’, etc. are freely tossed about as dismissive ad homemin invective

so easily it’s forgotten how intensely so many suffer genuine mental illness - to enlist
their conditions in puerile name calling, too often found in these insignificant
blogs, is sadly disrespectful

ITW: finally, please accept sincere sympathy for your mother’s suffering and yours too - let’s
all try to be kinder

Once you tune into this stuff, you can do it all day without even breathing hard.

Well put.  Conspiracy fantasy and paranoia like all insanity can drive out reality from one’s head.

Yesterday I visited my elderly and Alzheimer’s suffering mom in the hospital. She was herself more than she’s been in a while and was having an interesting a polite discussion with several people who were visiting her. She introduced me as her son, but there was a minor problem with this otherwise ordinary and pleasant conversation.

She and I were the only two people in the room.  Yet those other people were as real to her as she and I were.

Thoughtful “mousey.”  If.
If a frog had wings, it would not bump its hiney every time it hops.
But, it doesnt have wings, thus bumps its butt with each hop.

‘So…now the irrationality of anti-semitism is that Jews do things that hurt themselves and their friends as “cover”. ...’

But, you see, if Assange is an agent then being threatened with death, harassed, arrested, extradited to Sweden and so forth are just a show.  He’s not actually being harmed.  In fact, he probably doesn’t really exist.  They have some actor going around being photographed by the newspapers.  The money you sent to Wikileaks is being counted by the Rothschilds even as we speak—in Switzerland, of course.  The gnomes of Zürich….

Once you tune into this stuff, you can do it all day without even breathing hard.

Neat clarification, fearnotruth.
A couple of ideas are seen differently by social scientists. Since the lineage in subject passes its greed and behavior patterns to its offspring, the klan is considered to be basically ethnic in nature. Since the klan tends to hide out among, misrepresent and misuse Jewish folk, a religious aura is perceived. 

This klan holds membership in the “Hitler society,” and controls the Federal Reserve. It owns the totem pole at which all stupid-behaving, U.S. presidential candidates ran to worship at and beg support of, just prior to the 2008 election. It influences U.S. Congress decisions made for the
U.S.Military, and the trillions of dollars doled out in all directions. It continues a fifteen-million dollar plus, daily stipend to its accounts from the U.S. Treasury. Through its MOSSAD, it claims to have spared the U.S. of a nuclear attack, strengthening ingratiation of stupid, U.S.Gov “leadership.” Its MOSSAD is alleged to have set the special-type, steel-melting, fission materials in the Twin Towers. This Klan influenced the stand-down of the USAF during the alleged “airliner attack” on the World Trade Center, 9-11. Whether this Klan made the decision to fire the Tomahawk into the Pentagon from a U.S. naval vessel, I dont know. For sure, the Klan did not prevent the firing. I suspect “they” wired the shorts of the Moslem youth in the 25 Dec.2009, Amsterdam-Detroit Metro airport, Northwest Flight 253. While wikipedia falsely describes the event as a failed alleged al-Qaeda bombing attempt, it was a successful false-flag, bombing scare that was pulled off as planned.

While, ” - - it ain’t even a fight worth taking on - it’s a canard!- - ” is obviously your position, my guess is that the vast majority of world inhabitants are not as well-informed as you on the subject, certainly not Americans !!!  I propose it to be a subject that requires additional clarification, so that more folk than Truthdiggers will comprehend the difference between Ashkenazim/Zionists and the gentile Jewish folk. My assumption is that the majority of Truthdiggers are not Jewish.

ITW - this ain’t a fight worth taking on - it’s a canard! - but, it must be said, and you know it well:

Semitism is not genetic, ethnic, religious, nor cultural - well, a bit cultural, but only in that it’s a linguistic
distinction - you know the history and know it for a fact, and…

because of that, Ashkenazim are the least Semitic of all communities in the Middle East…

yet they, among all others, demand more - they came and took and took and took and are still taking…

until they stop taking and are willing to give up something, there will be no peace in Israel, nor likely
anywhere around the entire region

it’s all about resources, property, and capacity to generate wealth - nothing more, colonization - the so-
called mythical ‘clash of civilizations’ is a trumped up canard, distraction, faux raison d’action -
and, there is ample historical proof that the Irgun, Stern Gang and their heir The Mossad are responsible for
some of the most heinous terrorism of modern times - no, they’re not alone, but they’re as culpable as any

if you insist on forcing someone here to offer a cliche like, “well, some of my best friends are jews…” hell,
probably most any contributor here could, but it’s too fucking trite - how about this:

I was married into a Jewish/Polish family for 20 years, and never had a single social-cultural issue ever -
in fact they educated me to the reality that the Zionists may well be the Jews’ worst enemy.

so, there’s no fight here, just the acknowledgment that it ain’t even a fight worth taking on - it’s a canard!

So…now the irrationality of anti-semitism is that Jews do things that hurt themselves and their friends as “cover”.

Only Jews and the CIA get given such inside-out and upside-down motivations.

It’s all bullshit. It’s nothing more than justification for the rise in anti-Semitism and the irrational blame of Jews and hope that by ridding the world of us you’ll rid the world of evil.

Yet say the “H” name and his “N” word and they get all up in arms.  How about “pogrom” instead?

RE: Typical illogic.
If the Wikileaks revelations don’t hurt Israel, and even BENEFIT it, why would Jews be out to hurt and
smear Assange?  Wouldn’t they want to help him?

It just doesn’t parse unless you believe that all Jews are evil, in league with the Devil, and want to do
harm, even if it harms themselves.  Which, means, of course, you don’t believe Jews are actually
human.

exception taken

theatre of the absurd intentionally defies ‘logic’ -  postmodern dramaturgical tool - shock, disarm,
manipulate, lay bare audience emotions - in the case of the WL drama, why, what’s the mission, what’s
the goal?

and more to the point: why would an intelligent TD contributor resort to conflating observations on WL’s
theatre-of-the-absurd nature with characterizations of common bigots, in no way related to anything
posted here?

as for manipulation of public opinion, no speculation required, we have it from the source:

1. “Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the state.” - James Jesus Angelton - Director of CIA
Counter Intelligence (1954-74)

2. “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” - William
Colby - Director of the CIA (1973-76)

Anyone who does or says anything, anywhere at any time that may disrupt the neoconservative Zionist plan to steal more Palestinian land is automatically labeled anti-semitic and a threat.

‘Jewish’ folks don’t smear, they schmear.

‘Paranoids have enemies, too!’

In this case, attacks on Mossad/CIA agent Assange as an anti-Semite by ‘Jewish’ organizations or individuals can easily be explained: they’re cover.  No horns, tail, or aroma of burning sulfur is needed for this one.

Typical illogic.
If the Wikileaks revelations don’t hurt Israel, and even BENEFIT it, why would Jews be out to hurt and smear Assange?  Wouldn’t they want to help him?

DUHHHHHHHH!!!

“Paranoia” is a function of fantasy, that is based on conjecture that
is not founded in facts. When one looks at the history of the
GHWBushSr entourage,
the secretive “chairman of the C.I.A. board” of GHWBushSr from
approximately 1960-1981,
the history of the CIA during his reign,
the governorship of “junior Bush” in Texas,
the public admittance of the programmer in FL who wrote the initial
voting-machine software that defrauds an election,
the theft of the Florida electoral college in 2004,
the falsified “yellow cake” fraud for which Valerie Plame Wilson was
scapegoated, causing the disappearance of several American agents,
the falsified WMD of Hussein in Iraq,
plus the scientific information about 9-11,
currently Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, plus a few items I omit,
fantasy function is not required.

Anyone who throws “conspiracy theory” onto the screen is either
incredibly naive or a paid patsy.

It has been demonstrated for almost one year, that the phrase “conspiracy
theories” and similar phrases are “buzz words” that the patsies, of the group
that hold the political power, use in their attempted defamation efforts.

Most folk see through the media and blog “contributions” of such patsies.

RE: ...conspiracy theorists.  Build up your paranoia…

OK, if one wishes to go down that road…

paranoia |?par??noi?|
noun
a mental condition characterized by delusions of persecution, unwarranted
jealousy, or exaggerated self-importance, typically elaborated into an
organized system. It may be an aspect of chronic personality disorder, of drug
abuse, or of a serious condition such as schizophrenia in which the person
loses touch with reality.

Q 1: if one does not feel oneself the target of (i.e. persecuted by, made jealous by, made to feel exaggeratedly self-important by) a theoretical conspiracy and does not suffer from chronic personality disorder nor abuses drugs, is it reasonable to attribute said theory to ‘paranoia’?

Q 2: if one, given to dismissing theoretical conspiracies as attributable to ‘paranoia’, is perhaps, from time to time, also given to actually questioning whether or not he or she is being duped by multiple layers of disinformation in the plethora of modern media, is it not reasonable to assume that the tendency to dismiss said theories as ‘paranoid’, might perhaps reflect some measure of ‘paranoia’ on the part of the dismissive party?

I foresee a difficult season ahead for conspiracy theorists.  Build up your paranoia, fellows; you’re going to need it to handle and explain all the contradictions.

samosamo,

I’m down with that. 

The broadbrush approach discredits the message.

‘Zionist smear campaign against Assange’ is much more accurate.

RE: ...this article is from highfalutin NY times.

remember: NY Times recently vetted and published a load of ‘leaks’ - critique:  still
in the 2nd scene of the 1st act - rich theatre - in the 3rd scene look for fresh
‘leaks’ to fully demonize Gadaffi and trigger NATO’s launch, now being planned

The media makes a living by defamation.  Can pick this same crap up on the tube in London.  And this article is from highfalutin NY times. Further evidence the media is functioning in a moral void, by not respecting his sovereignty.  Media calumny involves a failure to recognize an individual as a self governing being. A failure to abide by normative rules of conduct.  The power is impressive.  The media can convince the masses that he may be an indirect measure into government transparency, a leveling agent, or simply choose to besmirch his character with or without veracity. Soley depends on their motives.

I have been grappling with the trappings and innate pathology associated with political correctness. M. Berman has helped me with his acuity of judgment by defining PC as—a puritanical tyranny masked as openess.

Dshonest persons, with inadequate, personal integrity, will say anything, and do
many things, for their partners in crime. These folk are found among all
religious groupings, Christian, Moslem, Jewish, oriental religions, whatever.

When secrets are revealed, who gets punished? The messenger. Thus, when the
internal dishonesty of the USGov was revealed, who gets punished? The whistle-
blower. Naturally, since the USGov is partially owned by israelis, the dishonest
among them are swifter to assist to punish the whistle-blower, Assange, than
those with personal integrity.

I wonder if the “mistresses” in Sweden were Monica Lewinsky-type set-ups, and
who employed them. Their behavior drastically departed from that of typical,
swedish women. The related behavior of swedish police services suggests that
Sweden is another victim of the U.S. dollar. Chalk up another loss of national
integrity and identity. Another american dollar whore.

****************

First of all, I doubt this would be a ‘jewish smear campaign’
against assange. There are just too many jewish people who
would not lower themselves to be a participant in such a thing.
But the quaint use of ‘jewish’ makes a futile attempt of including
anyone jewish, not just the political evil power of the state of
izrael. A lousy use of semantics to disguise the underlying truth.

Now, if it was correctly stated as an ‘izraeli’ or ‘zionist’ smear
campaign, then that is what it is, a campaign by those
fundamentalist ‘rulers and followers’ of izrael who have a lot to
lose or end up wearing a bunch of shit or egg on their faces
because of what wikileaks exposes. Notice that I don’t say
assange.

So what this is is just another attempt by a few very evil, wicked,
paranoid narcissistic fools who deem themselves as those who
control the world. Unfortunately, they seem to be getting away
with their heinous facade. They are the true ‘axis of evil’ on this
planet along with their ‘faithful companion’, lap dog u.s.a.

Possible purpose of the alleged “anti-Semitism” of Julian Assange?  Just get the rabid right-wing conservative anti-Arab American Jews riled up enough to support extraditing and “extraordinary-renditioning” Assange.
  Along with the hysterical radical right-wing non-Jewish religious fanatic “patriots” that’s quite a powerful group that can be counted on to persecute Manning and Assange, with the help of big contributions to stir up hysteria in the media.
  The gross irony is that actually Wikileaks Cables did the country a big favor by holding up a mirror so the State Department could see what it was doing behind the scenes. That exposure is an opportunity to self-correct—if the State Department is smart enough to realize the opportunity—which appears doubtful at this point.  Bradley Manning (an American citizen and a veteran to boot) is already undergoing some of the torture tactics of “extraordinary rendition” at Quantico aimed at reducing him to a state of “learned helplessness”.
  You don’t know what that is?  Look it up.

Netanyahu: WikiLeaks cables prove Israel is right on Iran
Leaks show how the entire Middle East fears a nuclear Iran, prime minister
says.

By Barak Ravid

...for Israel, the outcome is positive, Netanyahu said.

A 2009 American government cable released Sunday by WikiLeaks quotes
Defense Minister Ehud Barak as telling visiting American officials that a strike
on Iran’s nuclear facilities was viable until the end of 2010, but after that “any
military solution would result in unacceptable collateral damage”.
