Troll-scat.

Providence! Here I am, groggy after two nights of crappy/no sleep, wondering what I'm going to put up this morning, since I'm kinda Jesse'd out. (There are things working behind the scenes to put together a process for vetting [ooo! a pun!] these guys, btw) Night before last we lost power for several hours - and since I use a CPAP there wasn't a whole lot of sleeping that night, and last night sucked, too. Like you all care. Moving on...

Oh, yeah - what's the Post of the Day going to be? Well, I open up the email to go through the overnight comments and find troll-scat in a bag on the apron of the portcullis, which a few late-night visitors stepped in because the troll musta broken out the light. Steve must have surprised the troll, because he forgot to light the bag, and the email got dumped by my spam-filter.

I stuck his missive [with my annotations] in the Flash Traffic/Extended Entry for your viewing pleasure. I deliberately altered the link to this troll's website because I refuse to allow dunderheads like that to use this place to try to capture some traffic.

As for the substance of the troll's post... I think that Pinch Sulzberger and Justice Ginsberg and Robert Rubin would be rather *shocked* to find themselves on a list of supporters of President Bush.

This is simply a list of prominent Jews, in government and out. And as useful as a list of prominent Catholics, or Irish, or African Americans. In other words, except as an indicator of the biases of the author, not useful at all.

Ergo, the prima facie evidence is simple anti-semitism, vice anything else useful. Not that the nick of "Imaginary Holocaust" wasn't an indicator.

I visited the website. Castle Argghhh! will not send traffic that way, nor do we support this form of Moonbattery. If this is all you've got, IH, please stay up in the rafters as a lurker. Don't soil the comment space with pointless drivel like this. But do wander through the pics of the collection. You'll especially like the well-marked Israeli Mauser and battlefield capture Arab pieces (with the exception of the Turk pieces, which aren't battlefield captures...)

Any further postings of this nature from this source will simply be deleted. Any further postings of this nature will simply be deleted. The only reason it survives is because it gives me a platform to make the statement that this space does not entertain this viewpoint, and is not provided to promote it. Oh, and please, as this space is private property and non-governmental, the First Amendment does not apply internally, only externally. Well, externally at least until John McCain has his way.

If you'd like to pile on this hoser, you may do so in the comments. *All* the rulez apply. If all you have to say is "#$%*^" or " #*$%^" or "!(@%^," just mutter it to yourself and move on... Oh, I'll allow mild personal snarkage if it's clever and witty. This is an exceptional case, I'll allow exceptional behavior. No spittle-flecked rants, please, unless you are going to clean up after yourself! Absolutely NO poop-flinging. It's expensive to clean the tapestries.

[How apt. My spam filter dumped the email notification of this comment into the trash. The comment below (except where interspersed with comments contained in [brackets]) does not represent in any ways, means or form, the personal nor editorial policy of Castle Argghhh!. We reject the unifying premise.]

The Jews behind George W. Bush

[More accurately, a list of Jews, period. Which means you know where this is going... down the Road to Dachau. Oh, wait - Dachau was just a vacation destination for European Jewry established in the middle of a genocidal war by a benevolent German government. Oops. My bad. ]

1 .Richard Perle
One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktanks, the AEI. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.

2. Paul Wolfowitz
Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish thinktank, JINSA. Wolfowitz is the number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war mongering.

3. Douglas Feith
Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine. Feith also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.

4. Edward Luttwak
Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq.

5. Henry Kissinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger's evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House). Kissinger likely had a part in the Watergate crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), Installing Chilean mass murdering dictator Pinochet, Operation Condor's mass killings in South America, and more recently served as Serbia's Ex-Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocates going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S. Unfortunately, President Bush nominated Kissinger as chairman of the September 11 investigating commission. It's like picking a bank robber to investigate a fraud scandal.

6. Dov Zakheim
Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Department of Defense. He is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. Zakheim attended attended Jew’s College in London and became an ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New York's Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.
[Oops! Incomplete! Zakheim is *also* a Beltway Bandit!]

7. Kenneth Adelman
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. Through his hatred or stupidity, he actually called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs by definition are Semites. [Which doesn't mean they can't be anti-semitic. Look at many prominent Democrats included in this list. They are anti-American...]

8. Lewis Libby
Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff. The chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iraq. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Marc Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his last days as president. [Shouldn't you update this now that Libby has been indicted? Geez, dude, how long have you been prowling the 'Net, shatting in people's blogs with this drivel?]

9 Robert Satloff
U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

10. Elliott Abrams
National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

11. Marc Grossman
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He was Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.

12.Richard Haass
Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large. He is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National Security Council, and who consistently advocates going to war against Iraq. Haass is also a member of the Defense Department's National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.

13. Robert Zoellick
U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level position. He is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush (Jr) Administration who advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in order to set up setting up a Vichy-style puppet government. He consistently advocates going to war against Iraq.

14. Ari Fleischer
Former ( until 2003) official White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr) Administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, some reports state that he holds Israeli citizenship. Fleischer is closely connected to the extremist Jewish group called the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics, who follow the Qabala, and hold very extremist and insulting views of non-Jews. Fleischer was the co-president of Chabad's Capitol Jewish Forum. He received the Young Leadership Award from the American Friends of Lubavitch in October, 2001.

15. James Schlesinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to war against Iraq. Schlesinger is also a commissioner of the Defense Department's National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.

16. David Frum
White House speechwriter behind the "Axis of Evil" label. He lumps together all the lies and accusations against Iraq for Bush to justify the war.

17. Joshua Bolten
White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Bolten was previously a banker, former legislative aide, and prominent in the Jewish community.

18. John Bolton
Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. Bolton is also a Senior Advisor to President Bush. Prior to this position, Bolton was Senior Vice President of the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktank, AEI. He recently (October 2002) accused Syria of having a nuclear program, so that they can attack Syria after Iraq. He must have forgotten that Israel has 400 nuclear warheads, some of which are thermonuclear weapons (according to a recent U.S. Air Force report).

19. David Wurmser
Special Assistant to John Bolton (above), the under-secretary for arms control and international security. Wurmser also worked at the AEI with Perle and Bolton. His wife, Meyrav Wurmser, along with Colonel Yigal Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence, co-founded the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri),a Washington-based Israeli outfit which distributes articles translated from Arabic newspapers portraying Arabs in a bad light. [Um, MEMRI just translates the stuff, dude. The writing stands on it's own. It isn't MEMRI portraying itself in a bad light - it's the authors. Kinda *exactly* like you are in this piece of troll-scat you dumped here. Your Irony Meter is, well, *broken*]

20. Eliot Cohen
Member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor. Like Adelman, he often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. More recently, he wrote an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal openly admitting his rascist hatred of Islam claiming that Islam should be the enemy, not terrorism.

21. Mel Sembler
President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States. A Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

26. Christopher Gersten
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Administration for Children and Families at HHS. Gersten was the former Executive Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Husband of Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, and reportedly very pro-Israel. Their children are being raised Jewish. [Um, and if one of them is Jewish and they've agreed to raise the kids Jewish, raising their children Jewish is surprising (or informative) for what reason? Oh! I see - Chavez must be Catholic (Hispanic, right?). Um, I'm CofE (actually, I'm undeclared, I was just raised CofE), my wife is Catholic, my son is... Catholic! Oh no! You're a Buffoon.]
