Dear Dean:

 

I appreciate your reply to my note 11/21.I sat down and tried to expand my thinking on the topic of Jewish VOTER NEGLIGENCE; a term you coined which I really think captures it.

 

I think that in general, the great majority of US citizens (not just Jews) are and were completely bamboozled by spin, propaganda, and carefully calculated media PR, which has truly been brought to a high level and very dark art. I'll never understand the utterly vile contempt for Sarah Palin, but one thing that cannot be denied is: It worked! Boy, did it work! Each and every piece of excrement that was slung at her proved to be utterly false, fabricated for effect, made up by some blogger somewhere, and yet published as fact by virtually every arm of the mainstream media. I have no memory of a propaganda campaign so thoroughly biased and so baseless in terms of verifiable facts. Not even close.

 

Did you see the Howard Stern "man on the street" interviews, where Stern's guy asked Obama supporters whom they were going to vote for, asking fake questions which reversed the positions of the candidates? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5p3OB6roAg [some crude language] "Does it bother you that Obama picked Sarah Palin as his running mate?" "No, not at all!"

 

Did you see the Fox News interviews with Obama supporters? They ALL knew Sarah Palin had a $150K shopping spree, but they couldn't generally identify Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or how many branches of government the US supposedly has? Yes, Virginia, they let these people vote?

 

And how totally did the entire media fall for the "Palin is an idiot" mantra as a result of the interview of "Martin Eisenstadt"; a completely made-up alleged McCain campaign advisor...EVEN AFTER the creators of the hoax came forward and admitted they had completely made up the character...and gave him a semi-Jewish name so "he'd fit in with the neocons who all seem to have 50% Jewish names" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/30/filmmakers-behind-fake-mc_n_147216.html  You see any "mea culpas" from the goofed-on media? I didn't. I guess it isn't really news, then, is it?

 

Snowed. Bamboozled. Completely taken in by media spin! And yet so many are actually proud of it! Ay Caramba! (That's NOT Yiddish!)

 

More importantly and ominously, I say this: Very, very few in this country have any kind of recollection, personal or otherwise, of true tyranny. The old Soviet Union is gone and forgotten; never mind it threatens to re-emerge under Putin. Hitler? He's so incorporated into ordinary media-speak that folks routinely compare a surly sales clerk or bureaucrat to Hitler. Even Jews who self-righteously compare any number of others whose policies or actions they disagree with to Hitler; Somehow they have forgotten that to casually do so cheapens the memory that Jews, above any other people, must keep finely honed and singular. Shame on them! That is not material for an off-the-cuff throwaway comment in my book! Hopefully, they can just confine themselves to spitting on you and calling you a moron, always the hallmark of an informed opinion, no?

 

And it's a similar situation we see going on in the financial sphere; we are at the point where one or two generations have passed since this kind of financial turmoil. Forty years, two generations wandering in the desert was for a distinct reason: the passage of two generations was enough to wipe out sufficient collective memory within a people. Without going into too much detail; sufficient generations have passed so that there is no collective memory of the conditions that led up the ascendency of Hitler and Mussolini; Stalin, Pol Pot, these are shadowy memories. Let us not forget that Stalin was viewed VERY favorably in the West for many, many years, well past the late thirties wehn he was murdering millions of his countrymen. Che Guevara is a youth hero associated with "rebellion", never mind the atrocities he committed. Mao Tse Tung, by far the greatest mass murderer of all time; apparently now a benevolent father figure. What has happened is that sufficient generations have passed so that there is no collective memory of a serious, worldwide depression, nor is there a memory of the kind of tyranny that inflicted such mega-slaughter as recently as the last century. It's just gone, hey, did you set the Tivo on "American Idol" tonight?

 

Jews had better wake up and exert some deeper thinking past swallowing cheesy sound bites. Press coverage of this last election resembled nothing if not a high-school rumor mill. Appalling. Muslims are making astounding inroads into the European populations. England is essentially gone.You can say what you want about Muslims being peace-loving people, but frankly, I see very few examples, and I see utterly NO examples of Muslims speaking out against the aggression and bloodthirsty violence of the Jihadists. Like it or not, these folks are our mortal enemies. Embedded in their religion is to kill or subdue the infidel. That would be us. The Jihadists have not the slightest doubt about this. Their foreheads hit the floor 5 times a day every day. Most secular Jews go to synagogue twice or three times a year. Jews are the casual ones, always liberally allowing for the discourse, the opposing view, empathizing with the victims. Jews in this case are apparently ready to "empathize" great big bloody slash marks across their collective corotid arteries.
