Gustave, I see you are convinced that everything which is happening or has happened is largely the work of sinister Jews, who are aided and abetted in their evil quest by a bunch of equally sinister and crazy Christians. From my part, I simply don't believe it. Sure, there are crazies -- there are crazy Jews and crazy Christians and crazy Muslims and crazy whoever. But to seriously believe that a handful of Jews want to take over the world a la The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, I just don't see it. I have the book and I have read it a few times and, at a certain level, the story is convincing but I simply cannot believe there are actually people who are deliberately plotting to do this, particularly when there is no valid reason to so. Sure, I understand the predicament of the Jews, historically, and in Israel. I also know their wealth and influence is out of all proportion to their numbers, but so what? That proves nothing. That they are good bankers and have managed to do a "rabbit from the hat" trick with world money is not an indictment but a tribute. They/some are damn clever. But Keynes wasn't a Jew, neither was Newton or Hubble or millions of other brilliant people. Jews don't have exclusive rights to being clever -- or to being paranoid. Or greedy.

[A]ll major US interventions have been [on/along] the flashpoints on the line demarcating the Muslim world from its Judeo-Christian challenger[.] You can say that as many times as you'd like, but it won't become less absurd a statement. As noted the last time you made this ridiculous assertion: a view of U.S. military deployments in just the last half-decade exposes the silliness of that contention. As I pointed out, previously: Message 20155856 Also, looking back a bit further: U.S. military deployments to Panama, Grenada, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti (an invasion halted in the final stages), add ludicrousness to your contention.

Gustave > "Oil" is a convenient, yet bogus, rationalization to fool the leftist fringe of US/world opinion They certainly succeeded in doing that. Likewise me, and I'm not a "leftist". workers.org >>Blaming the OPEC countries isn't a solution to high oil and gas prices. Neither is relying on promises by mainstream presidential candidates. Both Republicans and Democrats are beholden to Big Oil. Oil is a vital energy source needed throughout the world. Yet its refinement and distribution is thoroughly monopolized by a handful of Western--mainly U.S.--companies, who manipulate the market by creating artificial crises to boost profits. The whole world knows that Big Oil's lust to control Middle Eastern oil is a key factor in the U.S./British war and occupation in Iraq. These companies have also worked tirelessly to sabotage the development of alternative, safe energy sources and undermine environmental protections.<<
