I don't care who he 'is'; he is his writing on this forum. If you have a
problem with his writing, attack the ideas, not the person.
The most dangerous times in American history have shown that writers often use
pseudonyms to avoid persecution, harassment, and death. His name isn't
important. It isn't even relevant.

Subject: Re: [political-research] Keeping It Real
The strongest signal that is coming through your posts is that you are
easily upset by criticism of Israel and the Israel lobby. Apparently you
strongly support Jewish ethnic nationalism, but strongly oppose every other
form of ethnic nationalism. How do you explain the self-contradiction and
the double standards?
The neoconservatives who have dominated the Bush 43 administration, and who
are most responsible for the Iraq War, are dominated by militant Jewish
ethnic nationalists like Elliott Abrams and Douglas Feith. Have either
Berlet or you ever addressed this issue?
Also, the repetitive use of "loons" and synonyms for "loons" is the
preferred rhetorical style of most neocons ("moonbat" is a favorite term of
abuse). See Little Green Footballs, FrontPage Magazine and Atlas Shrugs for
numerous examples.
If you believe the 9/11 official story, you will be a minority of one in
this group. For most us, that debate was concluded long ago -- the official
story was totally routed. How any skeptical and independent mind could
believe the official story for an instant is beyond me.

Just out of curiosity, I took a look at this Prison Planet website. I
had a suspicion that it was another rightwing outlet that mixes 9/11
conspiracy theory with other wacko ideas. I was right:
--It links to the Vdare anti-immigrant website.
--It charges "globalists" with a global warming conspiracy. "Globalists"
are the same forces that the militias in the 1990s harped on. You know.
The UN, the Bilderberg, black helicopters and all that.
etc., etc.
The website is in the inspiration of one Alex Jones, who has written
that communists in the West are funded by big corporations. That's news
to me. Maybe I can hit up General Motors to help defray the costs of
Marxmail.
