THE POST-COMMUNIST SITUATION | 2008-05-26
Back in the 1970s an Arkansas Republican made one of those obviously true observations that gets people into trouble. His party had just won a big election and he said that it was because Israel was in a crisis at the time, and the Jewish money that would have gone to the liberal candidate had been diverted to that vital campaign for Israel.
This was the sort of exposure of the obvious that REALLY infuriates the establishment because it so obviously true and it makes the Jewish outlook so obvious. I haven't seen anybody make the equivalent point about our post-Communist world, so I will make it.
While the Communist Empire was around a major share of the money and power of the media and the left was dedicated to fighting its battles. The desperate, giant last-ditch fight to end the Strategic Defense Initiative and Reagan's ratcheting up the killing pressure on the Soviets took up a major share of the resources of the left. Those resources have not disappeared, so like that Arkansas Republican, there is room for lone heretic to ask where they have gone.
I, alone, have pointed out repeatedly where a major portion of those resources have gone. I have noted that the moment the Soviet Empire collapsed, every single leftist switched overnight from a socialist to an environmentalist. No one else seems to have noticed this BASIC rule.
The situation for leftists is a lot like that of the Jews if Israel disappeared. Their ideological homeland is gone. But the goals are the same. Leftists want the priesthood of Political Correctness to rule. When they lost the Professor-rule in Moscow, they instantly switched to Kyoto.
Jewish strategy is equally consistent. Like Emma Lazarus, who wrote the words on the Statue of Liberty and was a lifelong dedicated Zionist, Jews want 1) to destroy all other identities, and 2) to make t Jewish identity the only legitimate one. Dershowitz is as obvious about this today as Lazarus was well over a century ago.
Dershowitz has Lazarus's consistent theme, 1) he is constantly worried about the disappearance of Jews and 2) he is totally dedicated to ridding the earth of the white race. He makes comments about how blacks and whites don't kiss enough on television. What is enormously frustrating to me is that anti-Semites do not point to this obvious reality, but keep presenting Jews as supernatural Satans, which is precisely the argument they have centuries of practice countering.
The fact is that getting rid of the Soviet Empire gives us a clear shot at our enemies. I had to hold my nose and join with respectable conservatives to fight the ideological homeland of our enemies. I seem to be the only person on our side who has NOTICED this fundamental reality has changed.
In the real world of our real war, the role of respectable conservatives has not changed in the post Communist era. Their function has always been to divert attention from the real struggle, but in the case of the nuclear-powered Soviets they were actually facing a REAL enemy, a critical part of the enemy left.
Like the leftists who have morphed into environmentalists, the respectable right has had to find another way to do the same thing WITHOUT the Soviet Empire. They have morphed into anti-Arabs under the banner that we must not be divided by race in the face of the Real Enemy.
My point is that this is the basic REALITY. But no one MENTIONS it.
In the new world we must cut the old crap and take a new look at the old reality. In AFKAN's "Movement Past" leftists who were peaceniks were still our enemies. In the new reality leftists who are peaceniks are potential allies. But what is critical here is that we must look upon this, not as a Revelation, but as a simple reality of power politics.
Less tomes, more logic.
We have an argument that is easy to accept, rather than a battle for Revealing the Truth about the outright pro-Communist efforts of the left.
Simple logic, bringing people to simple reality, is our BUGS specialty.
