Hoagland at the WP Whines About How America Is Persecuted Like Jews

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Even as Jews in the Holy Land oppress and suppress native populations there and Christians from America invade Muslim countries and create seas of blood, right wingers writing for major media here whine about how the world is beginning to hate both the Jews and the Christians creating this chaos and this is mean of them, they should love us when we launch religious wars.

Hoagland of the Washington Post:

Hoping to lower tensions between the Muslim world and the West, British Prime Minister Tony Blair maintained the other day that the world confronts "a clash about civilization," not "a clash between civilizations." But the overriding lesson of events since Sept. 11, 2001, may be that you can't have one without the other.

In radical Islamic propaganda, the United States has graduated from being a mere Great Satan out to undermine Iran's ayatollahs to being depicted as a global monster responsible for virtually every crime and failing since the dawn of modern history. Meet the new Jews: the Americans.

How does one "lower tensions" by declaring cultural wars? Huh? What is our "civilization"? Ask any Palestinian child. They will patiently explain that American sponsored civilization means murdering them. Ask any Iraqi child and one gets the same answer.

Far from spreading civilization, we are bloody barbarians trying to take over the Muslim world while losing control of our own country, rapidly. As our empire implodes at home, it explodes in Muslim countries. The two are intimately connected. If we stop one, we can probably stop the other.

But we won't because we want to rule the Muslim world while pretending we are not ruling them. This is why Condi, yesterday, invited more Christian missionaries into Afghanistan while at the same time, Israel unilaterally announces they will throw out as many Muslims as possible from the West Bank and openly annex much of it.

The centrality of American power to global change -- good and bad, economic and political, topsy and turvy -- inevitably carries with it a heavy burden abroad of resentment and opposition. In the wake of Sept. 11 and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a widespread stereotyping and a visceral hatred that imputes racial characteristics to national policies and actions have also taken hold.

I bet Hoagland is a natural traitor. This is why he cannot understand the simple concept of fighting as a patriot to protect one's homeland. The really sad part of his insane rant at the WP is the charge of "impuning racial characteristics to national policies." What on earth is he babbling about? Is Judaism a religion or a genetic pool? According to Jewish laws, one can convert but it isn't encouraged. Anyone holding any belief so long as their mother is classified as "Jewish" may emigrate into Israel. Period. Anyone else is not allowed. They may visit, they may stay but they can't be citizens. If this isn't rank racism, what is?

My own son, whose father is genetically 100% Jewish, can't go to Israel and live unless he "converts" because he has my bad blood! This is therefore, a racist law since is presumes that my "blood" has hopelessly contanimated him!

The Palestinian Christians and Muslims are closer relatives to the original Jews living in the Holy Land yet they have fewer civil rights there because their ancestors joined other religions. So the Jewish settlers there have the worst of two worlds: religious dictatorship plus a racist one! In one package!

So are outsiders "racist" when they point this out? If Jews living in Israel want to free themselves of charges of racism they have to drop this tribal stuff! And they won't!

The distemper of these global times can be read in a wide variety of settings, where this new virulent anti-Americanism competes with historical anti-Semitism as a single explanation for the failures and delusions of entire nations.

Since America has handed over our State Department and much of our security to the Israelis and since we now openly side only with them in all disputes and since we bankroll their racist/religious fascist state, we now are them. And everyone can see this. Europe recoils but wishes to keep up the pretence that we are all part of the "free" world but this is becoming harder and harder to sustain. Many Europeans are leery of religious wars and they see this descending upon them as Muslims flood into the continent seeking work just as Hispanics are flooding into North America for the same reason.

America is responsible for the increasing violence in the Muslim world. Our repeated interventions and invasions are sowing not just the whirlwind but WWIII. Puffing ourselves up and screaming we are victims is beyond ridiculous for the world's number one nuclear and conventional power that prowls the entire planet, planting bases in nearly every country.

The change can be seen in Turkish and Egyptian movie houses, where overflow crowds watch depictions of Americans routinely raping, killing, firebombing mosques and torturing innocents as a function of national character. It flows through the fanatical statements of Osama bin Laden and others that conflate "Jews" and "Crusaders." It peeks out of an overjoyed online announcement I came across last week that Hitler's favorite book, "The Riddle of the Jew's Success," is back in print.

So, just yesterday, we shoot up a mosque and kill a bunch of Muslims after shooting dead a helpless family during our little battle game in the desert which was designed to be pro-american propaganda for us here at home, broadcast on CNN, to boost support for killing Muslims! And this crazy right winger at the WP is mad that movies showing us doing exactly this, is to him, fanatical antisemitism?

Huh? Ever see WWII American or British movies? Didn't we depict the Germans and Japanese as rapists and murderers? And they were!

And so are we! DUH. Not one picture of Americans torturing small Iraqi boys in prison were shown on American TV but they were shown on Muslim TV. We stripped 12 year olds naked and made them do sexual acts for us! Gads! How evil can we be?

Ask the Palestinians who have case after case of young boys being tortured the same exact way! And little girls shot in the back for fun! Isn't this what we had movie villains do in WWII films? So it is today. The Muslims have a perfect right to make these movies and the movies reflect one element of reality, if crudely.

But then, all movies are "crude" for the most part. Ever watch the idioticies we produce? Mirror images.

America shouldn't be enabling or supporting any religion. Period. It is in our Constitution. The "White Man's Burden" is the delusion that we are selflessly saving the world when we take it over.

Afghanistan Wants To Execute Christian Convert

Elaine Meinel Supkis

When Russia ran the joint, they brought civilization with them, in a savage way. We brought absolutely nothing. The Born Again Christians are all howling about this looming execution. Bush had to pretend to notice it so they came up with a solution which is rather funny, actually.

Associated Press:

An Afghan man is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death on a charge of converting from Islam to Christianity, a crime under this country's Islamic laws, a judge said yesterday.

The trial is believed to be the first of its kind in Afghanistan and highlights a struggle between religious conservatives and reformists over what shape Islam should take here four years after the ouster of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime.

The fundies here who want to have a mirror society are howling loudly so Bush decided to condemn this but do nothing except twist the arm of our helpless puppet there. He then decided the best solution was to declare the man insane and thus, not responsible for anything.

Seems this poor guy left the country years ago and just came back after we invaded and demanded custody of his daughters. Of course, this is another collision course for the invaders vs the nut cases running Afghanistan.

Of course, just change the man's ID to "homosexual" who wants custody of his daughters and move it to Alabama, say, and the same bizarre, doctrinaire, ill tempered, nasty, discrimination would happen, too! This is why LIBERALISM is so great. If only the Holy Land were "liberal"! If only America was "liberal"!

This is why morons in America should understand the elegant idea called "separation of Church and State." For example, if they don't want abortions, they can have none. If they want to put up crosses and mangers on their front lawns, they are free to do that. They just can't do it on public ground shared by people of many religions!

Duh! But they will never ever figure this out. They will scream at Muslims for being mean while being mean themselves, here at home, screaming at Muslims yet again. In between screaming at us non-christians. I have a brother who is a minister. He never, ever, ever talks to me. At all. I don't exist because he loooooves Jesus and thus, hates me.

Actually, this is a blessing in disguise, I say. Just like I am happy I am not a woman in Afghanistan. Which reminds me, the Russians, unlike us, gave women civil rights there. Time for another invasion.

Bush Orders Homeland Security To Open Religious Center

By Elaine Meinel Supkis

Bush continues to violate the Constitution, this time unilaterally creating a "religious center" at Homeland Security, the neo-nazi police state aparatus. The first five Amendments are the most important and were put in the Constitution by our Founding Fathers themselves for good reasons.

From the Washington Post:

President Bush ordered the Department of Homeland Security yesterday to create a center for faith-based and community initiatives within 45 days to eliminate regulatory, contracting and programmatic barriers to providing federal funds to religious groups to deliver social services, the White House announced last night.

Pressed both by churches that have not received privately raised Hurricane Katrina relief funds as promised and by the outpouring of help of religious groups to Gulf Coast storm victims, Bush also called on the department by September "to identify all existing barriers . . . that unlawfully discriminate against, or otherwise discourage or disadvantage the participation" of such groups in federal programs.

The reason why those churches didn't get lots of loot is because they are not taxed so they can do charity. If they are "for profit" then they better put themselves under our control and this means no preaching because of the Constitutional wall between church and state. You want to preach then you can't be on the government payroll.

Lots of Americans selflessly opened their purses for the victims of the hurricanes. Not one of them got a penny back from the government. They could, if they were in the right tax brackets, get a tax break but that was all they got.

Bush secretly and illegally promised the mega churches and various right wing churches that they could pretend to be donating services (no money, just their buildings, etc) and the government would pay them as if they were businesses and they could still prosyletize their victims! This was squelched and now they are ticked off at him and he needs their bovine support for his wars and misadventures such as handing America over to foreign powers. Also, to keep Congress within striking range of stealing elections with the thinnest of majorities via rigged voting machines, he has to have at least 35% of the population beholden to him.

Not content with unleashing a very vicious and violent religious civil war in Iraq, this crazy man is trying to do the same here in America. The Republicans will go down in history as the party that betrayed America and burned both the flag and Constitution. The invisible fires are rapidly eating away at the very fabric of our democracy. As Russia pointed out just this week.
