Believing that any humacknowledged ethnic group is special---for goodness OR
evilness--distracts attention from the only true division of the higher
hominids: the Sub division.
Anyway, anti-Semitism is such a tired and skin-blotched excuse to murder---
uh excuse me, ``ideology''---that it is painful reminder of the intellectual
bankruptcy of a society when its political crazies can 't find anything better
to do with their time.

Well, I've never actually tried translating English into Lojban yet, being
very new at it, but you set me a challenge. This is probably *horrendous*
Lojban, but here goes....
cribe goi ko'a nerdzu jikru gusta gi'e cpedu nu zo'e vecnu birje vo'a
[A] bear (hereafter it-1) walks-to-inside [a] beer-oid restaurant perdicate-
connect requests event: someone sells beer to-it-1
.i le jikru vecnu cusku de'e vo'a lu jdima birje cu pano rupna
New-sentence the liquor seller expresses soon-utterance quote price (of)
beer isone-zero local-monetary-units endquote
si ni'o fasnu po'u cribe nerdzu lemi jikru gusta li'u
Erase-last-word new-topic: event-of the-stereotypical bear walks-to-inside
the my/our-not-your liquor-oid restaurant
cu rirci li'u .i le cribe cusku di'e ru'a jdima nibli za'i ra ba ranji rirci
is rare endquote. New-sentence the bear expresses next-utterance I-postulate
(the) price entails the-state-of that (recent predication) will continue rare.
I trust you are now convulsed in paroxysms of hilarity....

Subject: PC: Boring.
I never thought I'd here about being PC on this newsletter. The Spotlight
is one of the scams that Tom Valentine advertises on his shortwave show.
As I noted before he advocates 'the Holocaust never happened conspiracy.'
The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith obviously has a different
opinion. Some may take the position that anything remotely associated
with this crowd is a threat. Word has it they hassle(d) Chuck Harder just
for using the same network (Sun Radio Net, 7.435Mhz on the shortwave dial).
While the Jewish conspiracy stuff disgusts me (and I don't listen on those
nights), I'm in it for entertainment and the bits of information that can
be gleaned from the show. Likewise, I listen to some conservative talk shows
just to try and understand how these bozos think. This is the first time
I've had a chance to hear any details of the supposed Jewish con. If I
wanted PC news I'd watch the cartoons they feed us on the evening news.
Now those people are dangerous, because they think they have the whole story;
when for the most part they restate government press releases.
Most of the stories in the Spotlight are covered on the T.V. show from what
I can tell; although I've never seen the Spotlight. The advantage of
listening to the show over reading the same material is that you can sense
their bias. These people are not slick like Con news shows, so it's easy to
filter out the bias. T.V. refers to the Con news as "the alleged news" or
the "snooze". Some of the recent stories that I found interesting are:
. The continuing coverage of the INSLAW software conspiracy leading to the
recent death of Danny Casallero, a journalist tracking the story. The Con
news feeds have dropped this like a hot potato. I guess none of them
wanted to be the next in line to commit suicide.
. Mark Lane was on pushing his most recent book on how he convinced a jury
that E. Howard Hunt was a ring leader in the premature election of LBJ.
He claims in an earlier trial Hunt testified he was with his family at CIA
HQ when JFK was hit. Then he turns around and tries to sue Mark Lane
because his family kept asking him if he offed the Prez.
. Barbara Honiker detailed her investigation of the October Surprise.
Now that I've defended the T.V. show (and to some extent his associates at\
the Spotlight), It's time to bash him a little. T.V. claims that Con news
feeds are biased by their advertisers. Meanwhile T.V. pushes health-nut
products on his show that he has a stake in and does frequent reports on
anti-health-nut product conspiracies.
If you want further Spotlight & Co. bashing, this weeks Village Voice has
an article, "It's All One Big Conspiracy."
If any of you are afraid of people taking this seriously, just keep chanting,
"JFK was felled by a single bullet fired by a lone-nut assassin."

Have some slack brother.
When someone mentioned how great the Spotlight was, I thought it would be
cool to post a rant by someone who thought it wasn't. yin-yang and all
that good stuff.
Actually, I have always thought the Nazi's were pretty bitchen. Those big
black shiny boots, that flag that give me a stiffy, big blond beauties
everywhere you look! I would have been mesmorized.
I don't think the ADL would appreciate my point of view either.
