Thanks for your clarification. I think that, in French, we'd qualify truedog as a 'psychorigid personality' (ie une personnalite psycho-rigide). You're dead right: it gets worse as one gets older....

Charles, I see you're currently in the sights of MNI/truedog/CK.... They're likely to sweat you to drop any friendly contact with me --sigh! Well, before you get turned round, I want to show you an interesting analysis that might explain the audience's hostility toward my 'JFK conspiracy': The Left and the Far Right: Curious Bedfellows? The Left has been very serious in its critique of American foreign policy and its cynicism. The basis of that policy has been, "if you are an enemy of communism, you are my friend," which has led America into cooperation with a whole range of tyrannical, military-backed dictatorships. But we should be very careful about the wisdom of that statement, because those on the Left should take heed too. Not everyone who speaks out against "the government" and "the State" is on our side. Indeed, they may have an entirely different agenda, of a decidedly fascist bent. Despite the fact that they may make statements against "capital" or "the finance class" or whatever else, their real enemy is liberal democracy, which they hate with a greater passion than even the most determined Stalinist on the left. Now imagine this scenario. It's 1991, and you're at an anti-Persian Gulf "war" speakout. Someone gets up and starts blasting CIA involvement in the region and drug trafficking from the area, and everyone applauds. Then he starts saying things like "this is really the Zionists' war, fought for the Elders of Zion." Another man gets up and starts talking about the murderous policies of the IMF and World Bank in Middle East development, and the genocidal character of the war against Iraq. Some more applause. Then he follows up by saying how he sees "the hand of the Anglo-American cartel in all this." A third individual starts talking about the role of "capital" and how the war is a distraction from the S & L looters. A third round of applause. Then he starts talking about "international bankers" and the "Trilateralists" and their role in the war. At this point, you are severely confused. This war is probably about oil, the 'VietNam syndrome', maybe even Israel. But "the Elders of Zion?" What's going on? [...] Full story: web.clas.ufl.edu By Steve Mizrach, aka Seeker1. The above story helps me to understand the mindset of my denigrators that makes them stretch my WASP/Jewish conspiracy, through a Left/Far-rightist ideological cascade, to an Anti-Semitic stance of mine! Obviously, I strongly deny such innuendos. Gustave.
