Noted feminist links Reichstag fire, 9/11

The noted feminist writer Naomi Wolf, in an article warning of imminent tyranny in America, draws a parallel between the Reichstag fire, which was an inside job terrorist act used to justify the Nazi suspension of democracy, and the attacks of 9/11.
Wolf, who served as a campaign adviser to Bill Clinton, sounds as if she is writing for the Sons of Liberty or the Minutemen of the Revolutionary era in her piece, which was first published by Britain's Guardian newspaper and reprinted by the Huffington Post blog.

Though Wolf does not directly promote any particular conspiracy conjecture as to who might have been responsible for 9/11, certainly her piece describes a well-laid plot for the suppression of democracy.

After she mentions the Reichstag fire, she says

"It is not that global Islamist terrorism is not a severe danger; of course it is. I am arguing rather that the language used to convey the nature of the threat is different in a country such as Spain - which has also suffered violent terrorist attacks - than it is in America. Spanish citizens know that they face a grave security threat; what we as American citizens believe is that we are potentially threatened with the end of civilisation as we know it. Of course, this makes us more willing to accept restrictions on our freedoms."

Why do people feel the need to legitimate the War on Terra by saying, "Look, I agree terrorism is a severe danger to America, but..."?

Check out political scientist John Mueller's book, Overblown. The terrorist threat has been wildly overstated. Even mainstream liberals should know this and refuse to be defensive about their criticisms of the War on Terra.

It doesn't matter what one says if one precedes those remarks with the words, "Yes, terrorism is a grave threat to America, but..." You've already conceded the store.

thank you! i get so sick of

thank you! i get so sick of that myself.

The Germans were naive and

The Germans were naive and gullible to Hitler. Americans are notoriously naive and gullible. One of the reasons why foreigners have long sought to emigrate to America is the fact that Americans fall easy prey to trickery. Corrupt groups have an easy time exploiting the good will and naivete of the general American public. No corrupt group has so taken advantage of Americans' good nature as Zionist Jews, who have cursed America with perpetual war and perpetual debt. Americans must grow up and become politically sophisticated, or we will suffer the fate of the Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire, the French Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Turkish Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire, Imperial Japan, etc. Jewry has always taken great pride in their genocide and destruction of civilizations. Judaism teaches that only the Jews can rule and only Jewish culture and Jewish People can survive into the Messianic Era. Zionists, Jewish and their Christian dupes, take great pride in ruining America. It is only the welfare of the Nation of the Jews which concerns them.

No, no, no, no, no.

GIR, would you please STFU with your anti-Jewish rhetoric? It is hateful, bigoted, and just plain incorrect. You should be aware of how it is perceived, as well. People who oppose Zionism and/or are looking at the role of American/Israeli Zionists may have played in 9/11 see statements like yours as very likely to be deliberate, planted disinfo. Do you see what I mean? You're playing right into the deliberate conflation of Zionism and Judaism and it makes you sound like a shill.

Really a shill

Really a shill you want to see were i live! do you want to meet my friends and family! I am not anti Jewish I am opposed to the criminal network of Zionism. I could give a shit what you think Casseia. Prove me wrong. seek the truth. Tell me who did 911 Casseia Zionist obscurantists lie by omission when they discount, or ignore, or aggressively suppress the fact that the Zionists are to blame for America's worst problems, and the greatest crimes against humanity that have ever been committed. Zionist obscurantists are so vile as to attempt to justify their lies by omission in the name of preventing divisiveness, when in fact they are dividing the victims of Jewish crimes from the truth, which truth can save these same victims from further crimes in the future. When Zionist obscurantists tell you not to discuss Zionism because all people should work together to fight the "luciferian controllers", tell them to stop lying by omission and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Ask them if murderers should go free because there are other murderers out there, and how it is that we supposedly protect ourselves from future murders by ignoring the identity of past murderers and let those murderers roam free and take charge of our society, merely because there are other murderers? Ask them how we are supposedly going to battle the demonstrated enemy, when, on their "good advice", we refuse to name and combat it directly?

...

Okay, it's really VERY simple. If you are not anti-Jewish, then do not blame Jews! Jewishness is an ethnic and/or religious identity; Zionism is a political ideology. You don't have to give a shit what I think -- I just thought I'd do you the courtesy of telling you you sound like a Zionist shill when you fail to make what is basically a ninth-grade social studies level distinction. (I think it's funny that in other threads I get called an anti-Semite and Holocaust denier because I am interested in the Zionist angle and I *do* consider it likely that some Zionists were involved in 9/11, and then you call me a "Zionist obscurantist." )

The Culture of Critque By Kevin Macdonald

Well Casseia I am a father of four children and I want to get rid of these Neo cons Zionist for a better world for my children read this book The Culture of Critque By Kevin Mcdonald (sorry for going off but these hate crime legislation really pisses me off)

Kevin MacDonald: Anti-semite

From Slate:

"Irving's other expert is an American professor named Kevin MacDonald, whose ideas about Jews have almost no relevance to the case but represent the broadest, ugliest, and most vicious anti-Semitism passing for scholarship in this country today."

Here he is being defended by David Duke.

Here's a piece from last week on AlterNet: California professor is font of anti-semitism.

Now, GIR, take your anti-semitic bullshit somewhere else.

I just don’t like criminals

Its all about free speech wake up simuvac don’t deny the facts Who did 911? Was there a neo con involvement? PNAC AEI (all right wing Zionist) Who is Larry Silverstien Frank Lowy Mark Rich?(money makers) Who owns the Media? Go down your rabbit holes simuvac no ones perfect

Read his book its about facts no one has it totally right. I am not anti Semite I just don’t like criminals

There's a difference between "the Jews" and "the Neocons"

Are there Israeli neocons all over 9/11? Yes, it would seem so. Does AIPAC have much influence in America? Certainly. But that's a long way from chirping on about "the Jews" doing this or that, and using an anti-semite like Kevin MacDonald to support your argument. And what about the legion of WASPy lunatics (Bush, Cheney, etc.) who seem even more central to the 9/11 plot? Why aren't you citing so-called "scholars" who theorize about the evil tendencies of WASPs? Where is your racial profiling for the involvement of the Saudis and Pakistanis?

It's not about free speech. It's about hate speech. And if you can't tell the difference, then you shouldn't be posting around here.

GIR, you need to get it right

Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews.

All true Zionists are seriously bad news, however (too put it mildly).

You do yourself and everyone else a massive disservice when you are not precise in this distinction and/or are careless with your language.

I get the feeling you don't have too many Jewish family members or friends. World Jewry includes everyone from non-religious pacifists to genocidal Zionists (also non-religious, btw) to ultra-Orthodox Jews with every political and religious persuasion in between. To make sweeping statements like the ones you made above is just blind, ignorant hatred.

I know native-born, kibbutz-raised Israeli Jews who served with the IDF in Lebanon in the 1980's who absolutely hate Israel and never want to go back there again. I know non-religious Jews who freely admit that they disagree with much of what Israel does and are anti-Zionists themselves.

Please read what you wrote again carefully ( several times) and tell us if that is really what you meant to say.

I'm going to open my closet door now. I am about as anti-Zionist as anyone you will ever meet, but I challenge anyone to find anything I've ever written online that could be labeled as anti-Jewish. I can pursue my anti-Zionist agenda (I freely admit I have one) quite well without making the Zionist's job easier for them. I highly recommend that you do the same. (door closed)

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

Leftright not all white people are Christians

Leftright not all white people are Christians I realize that all Jews are not Zionist and I love All people. saying the word Jew doesn’t make you an anti Semite like I said prove me wrong I did not write the Talmud messianic law is messianic law. Kevin MacDonald is not an anti Semite The Jewish Responsibility (ADL) in This hate crime legislation is the straw that broke the camels back these people are taking my constitution away with there money power and influence It has to be stopped.
