Romney Talks international policy.

I recently found out, just as an example, that our local middle and high school no longer teaches about the Holocaust because its "too controversial".

Player, I think you have to concede you live in an atypically backwards place that is probably not representative of very much but a tiny sliver of North America. The stories you tell about the locality in which you live border on the utterly bizarre; increasingly so with each new anecdote.

In that sense, comments in this - and other - threads may be unjustified in criticizing you too heavily. You're clearly dealing with an extremely unusual set of circumstances to which the vast majority of the public may not be able to relate. This is probably a good case study of the idea that "all politics are local."

Anyway, back to the Zionists. In today's issue of Pat Buchanan and Taki Theodoracopulos' anti-Israeli magazine American Conservative, former CIA case officer Dr. Phil Giraldi says Israel is perpetrating a massive disinformation campaign with threats to attack Iran and that Romney and Obama are both intentionally aiding it.

On balance, all of the above suggests that the frequently repeated threat by the Israeli leadership to attack Iran is not a serious plan to take out Iran’s nuclear sites. It is more likely a long running disinformation operation to somehow convince the United States to do the job or a deliberate conditioning of the Israeli and US publics to be supportive if some incident can be arranged to trigger an armed conflict. If one believes the two presidential candidates based on what they said in Monday’s debate, both have more-or-less conceded the point, agreeing that they would support militarily any Israeli attack on Iran. Whether Romney or Obama is actually willing to start a major new war in the Middle East is, of course, impossible to discern.

I grew up in a nearby area to where Player lives (i.e. the "t" in Pennsylvania). We were taught the Holocaust. But that was 15 years ago so maybe things have changed.

Taki wrote a great obit for Gunther Sachs last year, that had a touching pic of Gunther on his 75th b-day.

Taki Theodoracopulos mourns the passing of Gunther Sachs



A typical Parisian day for Rubi and myself went as follows: we’d wake up around 9am (I lived in his house with him and his last wife, Odile), breakfast in his large garden, then box in his ring for 30 minutes or so, put on our boots and jodhpurs, drive into the Bois de Boulogne, where the polo club was located, and work the ponies. Then we’d meet our wives or girlfriends, as the case may be, lunch with them and friends like Gunther, a de Ganay or two, or perhaps ale heir Mark Watney and the great Belgian tennis champion Philippe Washer, then drop the wives off to go shopping, and more often than not we’d go over to Madame Claude’s, the most elegant and exclusive brothel in the City of Light.

Dinner time was party time, followed by a de rigueur visit to Jimmy’s, the Boulevard Montparnasse nightclub that lasted for 20 years and was the school for budding playboys. The next morning, however badly one felt, it would start all over again.

Anti-Israeli conservatives sniff Bolivian marching powder off the chests of Latin beauty queens. Pro-Israeli conservatives have as much fun as the body at an Amish funeral.

Yes, this is a recent change. A LOT of stuff has changed. Its the old "frog in water" bit. Small changes are not noticed until... the change is quite big only changing it back is very difficult.

It looks like Ayman al-Zawahiri is trying to get a cabinet appointment in the Obama and/or Romney White House ...

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has called on Muslims to kidnap Westerners, join Syria's rebellion and to ensure Egypt implements sharia, SITE Monitoring reported on Saturday, citing a two-part film posted on Islamist websites.
