Ideological Blinders
The other day I watched on the local news a video taken by an international volunteer in Palestine. He and his Danish girlfriend were trying to protect Palestinian women from Israeli fanatics.
One of the fanatics, a woman, attacked the Danish girl, screeching "go the Auschwitz, go to Auschwitz". The young man kept his camera running and it was quite clear who attacked and who was being attacked.
But afterwards the fanatic Israeli woman pressed charges against the two Scandinavians volunteers and they were arrested. This fanatic Israeli woman was so wrapped up into her own ideology, that she actually believed she was right.
In the last 60 years, Holocaust revisionists have produced ample evidence to demonstrate that at least part of the official Holocaust narrative is a myth, no different from other propaganda lies created during a war as weapons for psychological war-fare. Those who created it, propagandists for the war-ministires of the allies or propagandists for the Zionist cause of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, must have known that. It´s unlikely they believed it themselves.
However, when I read what Zionists say today or in the past decades about the "Holocaust" and about the threat of a new Holocaust, they do ring rather sincere. They actually believe it.
That´s why they say and write such crap as "we take those liberals with us to the ovens this time."
They believe it with a passion, even the most preposterous part of it, without regard to facts or physical reality.
This belief allows Zionists to justify whatever they do towards the Palestinians or towards other Middle Eastern nations or even towards their American friends and allies (the spying, the sinking of the USS Liberty, the pushing for war in Iraq and Iran.
And for some in the Mossad and the Israeli government most likely even the false-flag attacks of 9/11 were justified).
The Holocaust has become an ideology for Zionists, and for hardliners the ultimate goal of every action must be to secure the state of Israel in order to prevent a second Holocaust.
Ashley Howes writes about this phenomenum:
(They) believe that by 'worshipping' images of hatred, injustice and brutality they can in turn dish out atrocity themselves without doing wrong, because 'they' who make us fear atrocity, deserve to suffer it themselves, while 'we' who fear and fight against atrocity, are always reasonable people acting in reluctant but heroic self-defense.
The woman, who attacked the Danish girl I wrote about is just an ordinary Israeli, not involved in any plots. She probably does not distort the truth deliberately. She only has ideological blinders like most of the Israelis and many other people in the western world, Zionists and non-Zionists.
Now, some people believe that while the working- and middle-class people are brainwashed by ideologies created by the elite, the elite themselves are deliberately "evil". They want to rule the world by any means just for fun.
Now, I might be dead wrong on this one, but I think, they do not perceive themselves in the way we see them.
I think, that the ultra-rich and powerful have ideological blinders, just like their followers - only their ideology is slightly different.
Their blinders are Malthusian, Social-Darwinist and misanthropic Enviromentalist. Even those powerful plotters of world-domination might still believe, that they are good people.
They believe they are saving the planet from over-population, save nature, prevent global warming, save resources for future generations and advance the human race by eugenics or genetical engineering.
They also believe, that we, the commons, are too stupid to understand and accept the necessary measures they "have" to take.
In my opinion, the most effective way to fight them, is to bring their motives and ideologies out into the open and prove that THEY ARE WRONG ON ALL ACCOUNTS.
Earth is NOT overpopulated by humanity.
Resources are NOT running out.
Global warming is NOT caused by human industry and existence.
Altruism is NOT a weakness, but an asset and cooperation is humanity´s best survival tool.
Cultural diversity is NOT a cause for war and violence, but the best problem solving tool we have collectivly as humanity.
Religion is NOT the main cause for wars but greed is.
Environmental damages CAN be reversed with human ingenuity.
Don´t believe me?
There is ample proof for all this.
The trouble is, most people don´t know about it or are very reluctant to accept the evidence, as they have themselves been brainwashed by the elitist controlled media and academia into believing only the negative images of humanity.
Ideological blinders are all too common.
Erlenda,
I can read most of what you write here and agree whole-heartedly (eg. you nail the problem of the typical Jewish attitude), right up to the point where you start talking about the environment - I can't agree with you at all there.
Where is it happening that the elites are making the ordinary people skimp and save resources? Rich people are taking from the mouths of the poor, yes, but nobody is putting limits on how much rich people are allowed to consume. The way I see it, even if most are poor, humanity as a whole is using the earth's resources like there's no tomorrow, with not a thought for the long-term future. And if the elites didn't like it this way they would stop it.
The USA, with 1/20th of the population, uses 1/4 of the resources. The earth cannot sustain 6 billion Americans. The earth could sustain 60 billion Bangladeshis, but the question is, how do you make Americans voluntarily live like Bangladeshis? Because unless something forces a change in American behaviour, all that is happening now is the earth's ability to sustain large numbers of humans is being damaged, more and more each day.
Haven't said this very well, but that's the general idea.
I know environmental damage can be reversed, but there's not a lot of that happening these days - things are just getting worse. Global warming is neither here nor there, the real issues are desertification, soil erosion, deforestation, soil salinity, rising water tables/overextraction of ground water etc. The elites don't care if we mess things up so badly that billions starve, and they aren't driving us to change our behaviour for the better. At best, they think we'll genetically engineer away all of our problems - that is, they truly are idiots.
this was a great article i love this site.
soil-erosion and deforestation are real problems, just as the lack of water.
And those problems must be addressed.
But as long, as the majority of the environmental movement are busy with "global warming" and others are busy with "peak oil", the real problems will not be solved.
But there are already beginnings of change, for instance are some areas reforrested.
As for water, large scale desalination of sea-water in the future might help to solve this problem. Of course, the technology is still not perfect, the drinking water quality is bad and the whole thing is far too expensive, but all this was true for all new technology in the beginning.
As long as we see humanity itself as the enenmy, we will be unable to solve environmental problems and we will be unable to live in peace.
Believe me, I used to believe in the mantra of "overpopulation" just like most evewrybody else (even Aaron Russo said in an interview with Alex Jones he thinks there are too many people on earth)
Yes, Americans use far more resources per capita than Bangla Dashies, but they also have more resources available. Americans in the future can use their resources in a far more environmentally friendly way. Bangla Dashies however, need first to become the opportunity to fully develope their country. And they could from the start use environmentally friendly technology for clean water and air, put emphasis on advanced public transportation instead of private cars and so on.
But any progress can only come, when we accept the reality of the current population and the enevitable growth until industrialisation is complete.
Developing countries are in the phase of growth, we in Europe or America had a hundred years ago.
When people there are beginning to feel secure in their existence, population growth will stop, and as in Europe, population will even decline slowly.
This is what we can learn from history and experience.
We also can learn, that when existence has became secure, environmental issues began to matter, not before. The existence of lower class Americans is far less secure, than of lower class Europeans and therefor environmental consciousness in America is a middle class issue. The securly living people are telling the insecurely living to give up the small luxuries they have.
History also tells us, that when some resources are insufficient to provide for the needs of the population, human ingenuity will find other resources and possibly transform them to serve human needs.
When we get over the Malthusians brainwashing and stop seeing ourselves as the cancer of the earth, doomsaying will become unfashionable and problems will no longer look insolveable, they will become challenges we can meet.
