Firstly,
just to respond to your comment that I was calling your mother a
"whore". No. I wasn't calling your mother anything of the sort! I was
alluding to whether you would repeat your misogynistic remark in
the presence of your mother?
If not -- as I imagine you wouldn't-- what makes it alright to utter it
here?
Secondly, yes I consider the ADL extremely dangerous and
threatening, definitely more so then Mel Gibson.
That Mel and the supposed "right wing" of the Catholic church have
f**ked up views about sexuality isn't IMO what Marxists should be
concerned with (at least, not at the moment). When Mel Gibson
and his followers start influencing American foreign policy, start
urging government to pass laws that would criminalize dissent
against Israel, I'll start focusing my energy towards Mel Gibson and
his band of merry men.
Until that time, I'll worry more about concrete issues such as the
current ADL inspired witchhunt against the same Mel Gibson.
It's like being attacked from one end by a 200 pound body
builder/kick boxing champ and on the another end by the 90 pound
reigning world chess champion.
Who would you focus your energy on?
Obviously, it's not revealing to point out the fascistic
mentality/nature of the ADL, a different breed of fascism to the
catholic church. Yet, it is just PLAIN STUPIDITY to be worring
about what the right wing of catholicism is up to when a far more
powerful group with the mite to back up its fascistic ideas is
flexiing its weight..
The catholic bhurch is a patsy of the power elite,
The Zionist elite is a part and parcel of the US power
establishment...
Obviously if you don't draw the connection between what's being
happening to Mel Gibson
with this ongoing
anti-Passion of Christ "debate" and the types ADL-inspired/zionist
establishment witchunts of the past and present against the llikes
of the catholic church more generlaly, against Marxism and the
left, against anti zionists Jews, against certain Blacks and
minority groups (e.g., through affirmative action policies) and
anyone else they (the ADL) consider stepping out of bounds of
what the ADL defines as permissable debate/expression/posturing
and therefore as a threat to their authority/power/existence, I''ll be
speaking to the wind.
FYI: a good 80% percent of the criticism being directed towards
the Passion of Christ film has enamated from the ADL and the
Simon Weiselthal Centre and other powerful players within
Jewish/Zionist establishment. Another 10 or 15 percent has come
from individuals with obvious sympathies to zionism/Jewish
Nationalism, i.e., Israel, for example, Rabbi Michael Lerner from
Tikkum and the self styled sexologist Rabbi Smuel Boteach. From
what I can see, very little criticism of Gibson has enamated from
persons detached from the ZIonist lobby/or with zionistic
sympathies (if you find more than ten articles from such individuals,
please send them them over!). And very few zionists have come out
in support of Gibson (I know of one who's been outspoken in the
media. His name is Michael Medved and he is rear bread of
Zionists).
Call it obsession, call it paranoia ( or whatever you like), but this
concerns me.
ANd then when I hear a Marxist state the following:
(to paraphrase Louis P.), "well, I'll probably go to see the movie,
BUT here's something you guys should know about traditional
catholicism?"
and nobody utters even a single sentence in response,
I get even more concerned (and perhaps even a tad more paranoid
than I was before!).
I imagine what Louis P. implied by his remark is that what's
currently being done to Mel Gibson is probably not right, but
hey...he's a right wing bigot so let's just turn a blind eye and let the
ADL carry out its business.
Quite similar to: what's being currently done to Milosevic in the
Hague is bad, but's Milosevic is a bad guy so might as well sit on
my rear end and engage people in meaningless debates about,
say, what Mel Gibson's motivations were for writing the Passion of
Christ, and let Carla DeL Ponte and the Hague Inqusitors do their
thing...
I obviously find this type of defeatism quite ironic when coming
from a Marxist, but what with your "whores" comment and the good
wise Professor's "with all due respect to whores" and "those dam
white academics" remarks, and Louis P giving equal time on Marx-
mail for holocaust revisionists Michael K, his side-kick Les E. and
the Lippman Brothers to voice their concerns,
nothing really suprises me anyone...
