Helen Thomas Is Not A Bigot À La 'Eric Cartman'

by Cartman Wednesday, Jun. 09, 2010 at 10:08 PM

The problems of Palestine are religious in nature. The religions have become conflated, of course, with 'race' and ethnicity. But religions have always been nothing more than aspects of mass media. Before television, organized religions ~were~ the mass media, since people would assemble every Saturday or Sunday to hear the propaganda of the ruling classes who financed the temples.

Some of the propaganda was for good causes but 90% was in support of the ruling classes. We were told "Don't steal or covet. Beware of evil labor unions. Etc." "Defending" an organized (centralized) religion is truly akin to defending TV viewership. Well I don't have a TV, and I don't go to ruling class-sponsored weekend meetings. Viewed from this perspective, Israel is simply an out-of-control reality show, complete with Armageddon and weapons of mass destruction, etc. Having suffered the ravages of the new mass media, are we now to go back to heeding the propaganda of the organized religious ministries? Not me!

Moving about six million people to the Palestine desert was absurd; they promptly depleted the aquifers and transformed a semi-desert into a total desert. You can literally step across the Jordan River now. When you deplete aquifers below a semi-desert you create a total desert, which you eventually must migrate away from. This is also happening in Arizona, for example, where no one can survive anymore without bottled water. They can't grow anything much now, so they are turning on the Mexican immigrants, for example. Water shortage leads to conflict.

It's time for the foreign Israelis to get out of Palestine. And even the indigenous people there will have to leave that desertified place now. I'm not bigoted about their antiquated ruling class-controlled religious media system either. Organized religion was always a political mass media deception, so why would any intelligent person be concerned about its fate? I worry about organized religious systems in the same way I worry about television viewers. I simply would prefer that they not vote.

The locals of Palestine didn't much like the allegedly Christian crusader's murderous theft of Palestinian lands either. And it wasn't because the murderous thieving allegedly Christian crusaders called themselves Christians.

The only way religion enters the discusion of the Zionist /Palestinian conflict (aka, the Zionist's murderous theft of Palestinian lands) is that some extreamly prejudiced people appease and support the Zionist's murderous theft of Palestinian lands because the Zionist crusaders call themselves Jews.
