To: Lotus Lake (Hijacked) who wrote (13770 ) 4/15/2003 10:18:36 PM From: Edscharp Respond to of 21614 Lotus Lake, I will admit that Emile has been somewhat more restrained in his posting style than Craig, Gustave or G.J., but he does post what I would term pseudo-intellectual links. On at least 5 occasions Emile has posted a particular link with his own made-up heading; "ISRAEL'S GEOPOLITICAL BLUEPRINT DRIVING AMERICA'S "REGIME-CHANGE WARS" IN THE MIDDLE-EAST" An example of his post.Message 18825150 The link he referencesgeocities.com However, the above document has absolutely nothing to do with Iraq. It is a speculative treatise written by an anti-Israeli journalist in 1982 by the name of Oded Yinon. His forward reads as follows: The following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime (of Sharon and Eitan) for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. - Oden Yinon 1982 And yet, Israel itself has never espoused any of the above aims back in the 1980's or today. With the benefit of today's hindsight it is plainly obvious that this journalist was utterly wrong in his predictions. Just on the face of it, it is absurd to think that Israel could ever be in a positon to dissolute all the existing Arab states. And yet that hasn't stopped Emile from posting it again and again as though he found a smoking gun. Yes I agree, Emile posts references. Unfortunately, he posts bad ones that have nothing to do with recent events. This, and his passionate defense for some of the other people I mentioned make me believe that Emile has a very specific agenda of his own.
