FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY

2006-03-28T11:23:00.000-08:00

10. By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strictest sense but a whole spectrum of related traits: low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists tend to have such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.

11. When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies) we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem. This tendency is pronounced among minority rights advocates, whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to designate minorities. The terms "negro," "oriental," "handicapped" or "chick" for an African, an Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation. "Broad" and "chick" were merely the feminine equivalents of "guy," "dude" or "fellow." The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the activists themselves. Some animal rights advocates have gone so far as to reject the word "pet" and insist on its replacement by "animal companion." Leftist anthropologists go to great lengths to avoid saying anything about primitive peoples that could conceivably be interpreted as negative. They want to replace the word "primitive" by "nonliterate." They seem almost paranoid about anything that might suggest that any primitive culture is inferior to our own. (We do not mean to imply that primitive cultures ARE inferior to ours. We merely point out the hypersensitivity of leftish anthropologists.)

12. Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any "oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society. Political correctness has its stronghold among university professors, who have secure employment with comfortable salaries, and the majority of whom are heterosexual, white males from middle-class families.

13. Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals), or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not suggest that women, Indians, etc., ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology).

14. Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men.

15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

16. Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative", "enterprise," "optimism," etc. play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

17. Art forms that appeal to modern leftist intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations of the moment.

18. Modern leftist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftist philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e. failed, inferior). The leftist's feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual's ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is "inferior" it is not his fault, but society's, because he has not been brought up properly.

19. The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong produce his unpleasant behavior. [1] But the leftist is too far gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which he identifies himself.

20. Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.

21. Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principle, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists' hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred.

22. If our society had no social problems at all, the leftists would have to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse for making a fuss.

23. We emphasize that the foregoing does not pretend to be an accurate description of everyone who might be considered a leftist. It is only a rough indication of a general tendency of leftism.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN LEFTISM

2006-03-28T11:21:00.000-08:00

6. Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general.

7. But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century leftism could have been practically identified with socialism. Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this article we have in mind mainly socialists, collectivists, "politically correct" types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like. But not everyone who is associated with one of these movements is a leftist. What we are trying to get at in discussing leftism is not so much a movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a collection of related types. Thus, what we mean by "leftism" will emerge more clearly in the course of our discussion of leftist psychology (Also, see paragraphs 227-230.)

8. Even so, our conception of leftism will remain a good deal less clear than we would wish, but there doesn't seem to be any remedy for this. All we are trying to do is indicate in a rough and approximate way the two psychological tendencies that we believe are the main driving force of modern leftism. We by no means claim to be telling the WHOLE truth about leftist psychology. Also, our discussion is meant to apply to modern leftism only. We leave open the question of the extent to which our discussion could be applied to the leftists of the 19th and early 20th century.

9. The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call "feelings of inferiority" and "oversocialization." Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.

The Zionist Agenda:

2006-03-27T18:57:00.000-08:00

They Totally Control Goliath
By: Ted Lang

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism; the latter term has been corrupted to where today its use is as a powerful word weapon smear tactic to prevent Americans from discussing, realizing, and reacting to the horrific danger that Zionism presents to not only our nation, but also to the peace, safety and freedom of the entire world. And that threat can be summarized as the Zionist’s "global agenda."

Few Americans are aware that the statist Jews that created Israel were under the direction, funding, support and protection of the Zionist, communist, Rothschild-led international banking cartel. And this group of secret, international bankers, often referred to as the Illuminati, was behind the Balfour Declaration, the Versailles Treaty, and America’s involvement in both World Wars I and II. Millions of people have been murdered, maimed, enslaved and impoverished by this secret, Zionist and communist banking cartel. And the Bush family has been on board with them and has been a key part of their operation, especially as regards their funding and support of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, since the 1920s.

Before a real foe can be attacked, that foe must be seen and recognized as such. And before that foe can be stopped, one must know his immediate intent, his methods, and hopefully, his ultimate objective. The term "anti-Semitic" was created by the very same organizations that worked side by side with Adolf Hitler and his Nazis to exterminate orthodox, Torah-obedient and peace-loving Jews. These very same "anti-defamation league" types are the very same genocidal murderers of Jews during Hitler’s time. Most Americans are clueless about this important fact.

Once again, Dr. Henry Makow has thrown a monumental lead block into the rushing, advancing line of Zionist liars and propagandists. His June 28th column on Ether Zone entitled, "Zionism – A Conspiracy Against Jews," is yet another trail-blazing exposé that helps to uncover what is rapidly becoming the most dangerous threat to Mankind. Makow offers: "Why retell this story of Zionist-Nazi cooperation now? Because ‘Jewish’ leaders have been exploiting their ‘lesser brethren’ for a long time, and are doing so today. Ordinary Jews pay the price and this price could rise." This has always been the progressive modus operandi of the Zionists: attack, besmirch, kill and plunder in the name of Jewry, and then scream "anti-Semitism" when anyone complains.

Makow continues: "In my opinion, Zionism is a movement to deceive Jews into advancing the objectives of British imperialism. (See, The Jewish Conspiracy is British Imperialism.) Zionists who have built their lives on a false premise naturally will reject this view. Specifically, Jews helped the British-Jewish elite colonize the oil-rich Middle East under the pretext of Jews needing a national home. Despite the appearance of neutrality, the British (and Americans) financed, trained and equipped the Jews. (John Coleman, Diplomacy by Deception p. 107.) The ‘British’ are really the London-based international banking cartel associated with names like Rothschild and Rockefeller. It doesn't answer to any government. Its goal is to colonize the world and everyone in it. Jews are a means to this end. As seen in Iraq, Zionists (a.k.a Neocons) play a major role in the colonization of the Middle East. The important thing to remember is that Israel is the creation of this cartel; both Israel and the US are its tools."

Occasionally, the term "Illuminati" is used instead of the burdensome "Zionist, communist, Rothschild-led secret international banking cartel." That is a very top-heavy description; but, on the other hand, "Illuminati" is too abbreviated to be enlightening. I prefer the term "Zionist Illuminati." There is absolutely nothing wrong with this term; it is brief, and much more descriptive of the moneyed, communist secret society that is undermining America in every way imaginable.

The Zionist Illuminati are the driving force behind a one-world government New World Order. Why do the multi zillionaire international bankers, communists, and neo-Nazi Jews or Zionists want a New World Order? Makow explains: "All money is created in the form of debt to the privately owned banking cartel. Imagine if you could create money out of thin air. Imagine you have the credit cards of all the nations in your pocket. Your first impulse is to lend money to your nominees so they can buy most of the world's real wealth for you. Your second impulse is to establish a totalitarian system (‘world government’ ‘globalization’) to prevent any nation from challenging this system or defaulting on their ‘debt’ to you. To make them accept ‘world government,’ you need to weaken them by having them fight among themselves, run up huge debts for armaments (which you will sell them), kill off the cream of their manhood, and become demoralized and decadent. You accomplish this through your ownership of politicians and the press and your control of MI-6, CIA, [and] Mossad who carry out terror and assassinations for you. This is the real history of the last 300 years."

Makow elaborates: "‘World government’ is really about using debt to enslave us; it is an international loan collection agency. Naturally you will shroud this with talk about tolerance, human rights and preventing war. A quote from a 1924 edition of the American Banker's Association Digest sums up what is currently happening. Keep this in mind when you vote. ‘When, through the process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance.’"

It may seem foolish to repeat verbatim what Makow has already offered, but there is an important lesson here. There exists a driving, powerful international force that plans, engineers, and makes things happen. I reiterate once again FDR’s observation that nothing in politics just happens – everything is planned. And what happens if conspiracy theories like that offered by Makow prove to be wrong – what would be the harm? But what would be the result if Makow is right, and we the people do nothing? Clearly, the better option is to assume that Makow is right and that Rush Limbaugh is a fool, a liar, a Zionist stooge, or all of these.

It is common knowledge that all the Jewish-sounding names in President George W. Bush’s Pentagon and military advisor group are transferees from the pro-Israel, neoconservative, Project for the New American Century group. It was this secretive, Zionist PNAC cabal that turned the Bush administration’s military might and America’s anger away from the al-Qaeda terrorists based in Afghanistan and focused them instead on innocent Iraq. And perhaps Iraq wasn’t 100 percent innocent; perhaps there was some remote flimsy connection. But solid evidence that a 9-11 collaboration transpired such that it justified a unilateral, preemptive and unnecessary attack on Iraq has never been produced. But the Zionist PNACers have an agenda, and one not shared by or with the American people.

The anger turned against Iraq was easily accomplished via the Zionist-controlled, corporate media. Now here’s where the greatest danger to America exists. Again, Jewish-sounding names can be found: Redstone, Sulzberger, Newhouse, Eisner, Bloomberg, etc. Is it "anti-Semitic" to point this out, or is this rock solid reality? Is it "anti-Semitic" to point out all the Jewish-sounding names of the lawyers in the "very rich and powerful" [Bill O’Reilly] American Civil Liberties Union? The ACLU also has documented, irrefutable beginnings as a communist organization, just as is the case with the Trotsky-connected neoconservatives that make up Bush’s PNAC cabal. And again, what greater organization spews more "anti-Semitic" allegations than the Anti Defamation League of B’nai B’rith?

Remember how Tarpley and Chaitkin [George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography] described the way the Zionist B’nai B’rith, the Zionist American-Jewish Committee, and the Zionist Sulzberger - owned New York Times, all cooperated with the Rothschild banking cabal through its agent Max Warburg, whose brother, Paul Warburg, founded the United States Federal Reserve? "This seal of approval for Hitler, coming from a famous Jew, was just what Harriman and Bush required, for they anticipated rather serious ‘alarm’ inside the U.S.A. against their Nazi operations." And, " … on March 31, 1933, the American-Jewish Committee, controlled by the Warburgs, and the B'nai B'rith, heavily influenced by the Sulzbergers (New York Times), issued a formal, official joint statement of the two organizations, counseling ‘that no American boycott against Germany be encouraged,’ and advising ‘that no further mass meetings be held or similar forms of agitation be employed.’"

This is the same anti-Defamation League Zionists of B’nai B’rith that screamed "anti-Semitism!" and did everything they could via their Hollywood Zionist connections to block the distribution of Christian Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of The Christ. And isn’t it the Zionist, communist, and very rich ACLU, that has been roaming America from town to town to ban permanently from our culture Nativity scenes and displays celebrating the highest Christian holy day in America, namely Christmas? Haven’t the clever Zionist lawyers been using our freedoms and our own laws against us? And hasn’t the Zionist ADL joined forces with Sarah Brady to ram gun control down our throats all across America?

Wasn’t it the Zionist family of Samuel Newhouse and its Newark Star-Ledger of New Jersey that launched the initial salvo against the Boy Scouts of America, a campaign that is mercilessly hounding and defunding Scout Troops across the nation hoping to abolish them, and along with them the morality and honor the Scouts try to inculcate in each boy? The Newhouse organization was the lead in replacing sodomy and homosexuality for the Scouts’ "morally straight" oath. In the Mid West, Newhouse News Service has been performing above-average "journalistic" coverage of University of Missouri-Kansas City Professor Harris Mirkin’s writings encouraging pedophilia.

Our nation is under attack by the Zionist Illuminati on all fronts. The Zionist Illuminati, acting through their Zionist corporate media, surreptitiously and remotely control public opinion, encourage and agitate special, superior rights for female communists [feminism] and homosexuals [human rights] in order to destroy the number one building block of our society; namely, the normal, religious family of two legally married heterosexual parents with children.

Under the guise of "tolerance," Zionists are advocating homosexuality, feminism, and pedophilia and viciously attacking Christianity through their communist ACLU in order to destroy American society and its moral fiber. Under the guise of "separation of church and state," a term originated by Thomas Jefferson and used completely out of context by former Chief Justice Earl Warren of the so-called Supreme Court, legalistic abolition of moral accountability to God, as well as the celebration of Christmas, Easter, and Christianity itself along with the Ten Commandments, all are now earmarked for extinction to rid America of its national character, identity, resolve and its national sovereignty.

These dangerous Zionist organizations must be identified, examined, challenged, and neutralized, charges of "anti-Semitism" notwithstanding. Zionist control of our news and entertainment media, to include TV network news, TV entertainment programs, Hollywood, newspapers, magazines, radio [even Limbaugh and Hannity "talk" radio], represents the means to justify an end to America. America is only vital to Zionism in terms of the military might that can be commandeered by Israel, and the enormous taxpayer funds that can be funneled to Israel due to its failed socialist economy. The problem for them is an American freedom-oriented and armed populace, which present a major threat and obstacle to the Zionist Illuminati’s agenda for a New World Order directly under their control.

INTRODUCTION

2006-03-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.

2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.

4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence: it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can't predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society.

5. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed environmental and wilderness movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.
