As Paul Hoffman says, there are truth, logic, statistics, and then there are
those nagging phrases that cloud and obfuscate. Actually, those nagging
phrases are sometimes well organized - in the last few days, on other
forums, they have been concentrated to an extent that only Nazi propaganda
of WWII days attained. But then, Alcaida and the Nazis are both
Indiscriminate Terrorists.
There is also something else that clouds and obfuscates, although I may have
to start a new topic since it is only partly related to the July 4 murder.
This *something else* is the European Union (EU) and in particular its
judicial/tribunal function which has recently been created. Since I
discussed statistical and logical aspects of the July 4 murder earlier, I
will allow myself the luxury of asking whether there is anything clouding or
obfuscating about the EU judiciary function (EUJF for brevity). Since
Ingenious Imitators in and out of academia usually refer back to Founding
Fathers of one sort or another, who are the EUJF Founding Fathers which they
will be referring to soon if not already? The most anti-Jewish nations in
Western Civilization at present include Norway, Sweden, Switzerland in
roughly that order (most to least), followed by a few of the other Nordic or
Nordic-bounding nations and also by the (former and present) Nazi
sympathizing nations in the Balkans, followed some distance back by the
European nations formerly claiming to be Aryan descendants and thereby
entitled to world domination, followed by a few remaining nations not listed
above by category but which contained Nazi sympathizers sufficient in
numbers to form Nazi puppet governments in WWII.
To decrease the length of this message, I recommend that the EUJF not only
dissolve but be tried by an expanded and this time truly re-educating and
honest Nurnberg Trial conducted by the USA and Israel, in which not only a
few top Nazis but also their sympathizers in the public and all the
sympathizers of Indiscriminate Terrorism and back-stabbing receive at the
minimal forced education and at the maximum their wish of meeting God face
to face.
