ostensible diversity masking actual uniformity - the panel
these two "gentlemen" exemplified that the other night. After the hate-filled, fear-monguering, polemic, podium-pounding of Seligman the Muslim-hater, McCabb, the pinhead-ontheground-thinktank-implementation of the American Experiment in the Middle East propagangist, pretended to disagree with Seligman the hater on a point or two, "we have to look at the root causes of jihadi terrorism and try to rectify those causes"...
it was disgusting. About 250 students and community members, president, dean, rabbis and their congregations in attendance. A little brave group of 5 truthers in the crowd. After listening to 40 minutes of one and 40 minutes of the other nonstop, question time. my friend joe, an ESU senior, bravely took the floor mic and asked the BinLaden-FBI-not-wanted- for-911 question. that did seem to stump them for a bit. McCabb finally spurted out that "there was not enough indictable evidence" i yelled out at that point "but enough to murder a million people!". A young rabbi posed the hypothesis "the Muslims are living in the conflict of pride and shame; they need a renaissance which can only be brought about by democratization and pluralism."  Another old dude: "has appeasement every worked?" I finally got to the mic - i don't even remember how,  it was all a blur - i held the mic firmly to my heart, not really knowing what i was going to say, but then it happened, my God. i took the mic and turned my back to the panel and addressed the 250, mostly beautiful young students. "Hello, my name is Kate. First off, are there any Muslims in the audience?"  One lone young man raised his hand sheepishly. "I am affiliated with an interfaith group that includes Jews, Muslims, Christians and others. we try to promote dialogue and understanding. Tonight,  people, you have not been served well by East Stroudsburg University! (as i gesticulated adamantly behind me at the podium and panel) You have just heard an example of  fearmongering and hatred. You deserve better than this. You have beautiful  minds and hearts; do the research. 19 lo-tech Muslim hijackers did not pull off 911, it was a hi-tech operation planned for years."
Now, Professor Iliasson,  the worm who sponsored and introduced this panel and "discussion",  started to grab my mic. "What is your question, what is your question?" I spun around and looked Seligman in the eye. "Are you a Canadian citizen? As you support so many Jewish groups and Israeli causes, are you also considered a citizen of Israel? Are you a dual citizen? To which is your loyalty -  to America or to Isreal ? (i was calm but seathing inside...apparently so was he) "No I'm an American citizen!!"..he pounded on the podium.
"I am an American citizen! We must rout out the terrorists!"
The worm professor grabbed my mic. just at that moment, a woman asked me what was my loyalty? I put my hand on her shoulder and said "to humanity and to our youth."Â
After dismissal, i stayed behind with my new friends. A beautiful young bearded student with yamacha on head came up to me. i reached out my hand to shake his, he kept hands in pocket and said he was sorry but that he could not shake my hand...
(somewhere in here i asked him what he thought about the Naturei Karta. he said he thought they were "morons, of course". I said "i think they are beautiful, even if they would also not shake my hand.")
"who do you think did 911?" i looked him in the eys and hesitated..then said I thought there were elements within the mossad, the cia, and perhaps other intelligence and military groups...there is good and bad in each. Incredibly, his buddy nodded and shook my hand. "i lost family in the WTC, i was there, taking pictures outside, they were inside and died" The poor baby. He looked so distraut.
there was more, but i have no time. will be attending a "support the troops" rally in town today.
i just remember that my whole motivation was love and concern for those poor young people being fed that diatribe of hate and war and racism.Â
thanks for listening, k
i zipped this out, sorry for errorsÂ
editing a bit at a time...Elmira, not Harvard.

What Juan said
I fret about holding the mic at a wedding.

Super fantastique, Kate, and a warm hello to all,
The other night, around 11 pm, when I returned home from my office at the U. after yet another non-stop day (I have been literally working night and day and weekends since Easter), my “better half†greeted me with, “Kate of the Kiosk is my new hero!†I then read about your stealing the mic from the Zio-demons and speaking Truth to the people. Wowee Wow Wow Wowee. That was so inspiring. You were possessed of the good spirit and could not be stopped from striking fear into the hearts of the forked tongue lying servants of darkness. Congratulations Katie, you are an unstoppable Truth Army of One. The queen does not pay any mind to the barking jackals on the side of the road as she passes in her palanquin, as the old Indian saying goes.
I can hardly wait! It is now only two more weeks before our semester ends, the conferences and seminars (some which I have been organizing) will be over, the papers and finals will be (for the most part) graded and in the books, and then I can get back to working on my WTCD research and writing projects, and hanging out with my favorite 9/11 truth bloggers. I love you all, and thanks for everything you ladies and gents do here and in the streets. Next year, we should organize a national Zionist Lies Awareness Week. Only the truthful shall inherit the Earth.
And before I go back to yet another long day until the midnight hour (and I kid you not), I will leave you with a great quote I just happened across in my collection:
March 21, 2007:
“In science we do not say it is ‘dividing science’ to go with the theory that explains things the best and is based on the most evidence.â€
— Anti-neocons.com’s Ryan Dawson commenting on people who say, “You’re dividing the 9/11 truth movement. You’re being divisive.â€
may you have restorative sleep
hugs to you and my new friend, your wife!
we look forward to more "Wired for Terror". i do have a question, prof., about the connection between the repeated obstinate behavior of the old jewish people against their rulers versus the behavior of ashkenazi jews who are really not semitic, and thus the latter not related to the former...i'm sure it will all become clear.
