re: Crimson Ghost being banned by SI...

I've received a couple of PM's on this subject as it appears
Crimson Ghost has been suspended and his account has been
locked down by S.I. Administrators.

I would assume his "suspension" is temporary.

For the record...

I didn't have anything to do with his ban, I made no
complaint to anyone and have had no contact with SI Admin
about this. And he's not banned here.

From his profile page & post log, it appears he took this
to other threads and it apparently got out of hand, with
posters accusing him of "Jew hate" and "antisemitism."

I've written posts here critical about AIPAC and the
Jane Harman spy scandal. About Morris Dees, the Southern
Poverty Law Center, and the ADL's role in writing the
Hate Crimes bill, the MIAC Fusion Center reports, and the
Department of Homeland Security enemies lists.

I been far from "silent" on issues regarding Israel.

But not every issue is always about Israel.

And that's the problem I had with Crimson Ghosts original
response below:

Great post Slider except for one thing.

You boldly speak out about many things but your silence on the
role of the Israel lobby in all this is hard to understand

It largely dictates the mideast policy agenda of both parties
and is doing its best to get us involved in a war with Iran.

And a war with Iran would greatly accelerate all the negative
trends you describe.

Many of the bankers you rightly rail against are dual loyalist
Zionist Jews.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crimson Ghost's response was to a post of mine that
had nothing to do with Israel, let alone
"dual loyalist Zionist Jew bankers."

The post he was responding to, was my response to MAZ
who was complaining about too much politics, and saying
the board was now "moderated by Glenn Beck."

The main point of Crimson Ghost's response was...

"You boldly speak out about many things but your silence on
the role of the Israel lobby in all this is hard to understand."

This didn't have anything to do with the Israel lobby.

And this isn't the first time Crimson Ghost has raised
this particular issue with me, on posts that don't have
anything to do with Israel, and it's become kind of an
ongoing straw man argument.

And my challenge to all of those who we're playing games
and circulating PM's to run up the reco numbers, was to
simply step up to the pump... and tell us all about
Zionism, the Israel lobby, and the "dual loyalist
Zionist Jew bankers"... that I have continually
"been silent about."

I wanted to make two points.

The first being that this had nothing to do with
the Israel lobby, or "dual loyalist Jew bankers."

It had to do with straw man ankle biting.

And the second, was that not more than one, or two people
out of the 33 (eventually 41) called out, would possess the
cajones to even address the subject.

And that brings up the third point...

This is a subject that I feel most people are highly
mis-informed about. And it's a subject that should
be addressed, but sadly... as we just learned,
it's a subject that gets very emotional, real fast.

And understandably so.

I think it's best to let this one cool off for a few days.

And then I think I'm going to approach this in a unique way,
because I believe the problem with this subject is one
of authority vs. truth... as most people on this issue have
taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority.

And the most important truths are the ones you discover for yourself.
