I'm glad you posted this. It helps clear the air for any here carrying ill feelings about you because of a mistake. And you needed to do that.

However, folks have to understand that the sun and moon of our existence don't revolve around DU. They just don't. DU is a great place for information and for establishing some ties with like minded individuals. It's wonderful that we have this spot on the Internet. But we have lives off the net and perspective is often needed.

Are you asking me to post the link to the anti-Semitic website that got me busted? Won't that get me in trouble again for the exact same reason as stated above?

Sorry, after getting busted I'm uncomfortable with electronically transmitting that link to anybody at DU ever again!

But I will tell you the subject; The business relationship between Salem Bin Laden and GW Bush in the early 80's.

-90% Jimmy

something that had nothing to do with anti-Semitism.

Thanks.. got it.

He has his own rational wiki entry


Christopher is also the originator of an entry in <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fun:The_JREF_9/11_Truther_Dictionary>the JREF 9/11 truther</a>

bollyn (v.) - The act of noticing a strange car outside your house, assuming it's FBI, calling the police, having the people in the car tell you're they're just undercover local cops, not believing them, threatening them, telling them you're going into the house to get a weapon, getting arrested, losing your job, and then blaming it all on the Jews. Usage Note: Because of the low likelihood of anyone actually being stupid enough to do all these things, the word may be used in a looser sense to describe any attempt to blame a personal misfortune on some shadowy world-domination entity, when it was really your own stupid fault. "Example: All the 9/11 Denier candidates for Congress lost, so they'll probably try to bollyn the results off on Diebold."

His "AWESOME" OP was just another conspiracy laden heap of tripe where he had to link to an even bigger conspiracy mish-mash of bullshit webpage. The guy that runs that webpage is a certified loon (The Jeeeeswwws DID IT!)

#32: Christopher Bollyn

A.k.a. "The Truth Seeker"

As 9/11-troofers go, Christopher Bollyn is in at the deep end. A self-proclaimed “independent American investigative journalist”, Bollyn is for the most part a contributor to the despicable cesspool of lunacy whale.to, but many interesting articles can be found on his webpage. Among the gems are articles with enticing titles such as “The Israeli Role in the Plundering of Iceland”, “How Ehud Barak Pulled Off 9-11”, “The Goldman Scam & John Paulson's Links to 9-11”, “The Gang of Czech Jews around the Collapses of 9-11” and “The Jewish Secret Society That Controls the U.S. Media” (I cannot be bothered to check out his explanation of why the US is involved in Afghanistan, but it is surely rewarding).

I guess the reader gets the idea. 9-11 was the product of a Zionist conspiracy (in particular organized by the Rothschild family) – the Zionist conspiracy that controls the US government and media. They have also infiltrated the Senate, as shown by Bollyn’s razor-sharp and fearless investigations, e.g. “Arlen Specter - The Elder of Zion in the U.S. Senate”. Henry Kissinger is at the top of the conspiracy, and “still a key player in the crimocracy as seen by the conspicuous fact that he was sent by the new Obama administration to meet with the leadership of Russia, although the nominal Secretary of State was Hillary Clinton.” I guess you can’t argue with evidence like that.

A tidbit: “Christopher J. Petherick, a self-avowed Satanist, was the editor of American Free Press and the former Spotlight, publications of the Liberty Lobby of Washington, D.C. It makes no sense that a Satanist would be the chief editor of a newspaper that is purportedly written for patriotic Christian Americans, unless one understands that the Liberty Lobby is actually owned and controlled by a Zionist Jew named Mark Lane. The paper is a controlled opposition outlet that acts like flypaper to create a list of active patriots -- for the Jewish intelligence organization Lane works for.”

Who is Petherick? Well, he is the newspaper editor who fired Bollyn back in the day. Of course he must be a Zionist – why else would he try to shut up a honest and brave journalist like Bollyn? Apparently Petherick later organized an assault of Bollyn (using police officers who tasered him) to … shut him up? It's a little unclear. And apparently the incident is related to the real reason for the war in Afghanistan. So it goes.

delete it. Found it another place.. I had no idea the site was rw. but, it's reminder like your experience to check it out if you're not familiar with the site.

simply because there are so many sources.

I wouldn't worry too heavily about it. They will find something else to attack you for if you give it long enough.

embarrassing but no harm done if you acknowledge the source and the error of your ways

The point I was making just disolved to ridicule but no hide
Doesnt matter the point being made is lost either way

Also, be a cause to reconsider the point one is attempting to make?

i was trying to figure out how to say that

Just reconsider it ... because the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, so we must ask, "why do we agree? "

that link to remain unnamed, without checking it....man!!! did I get flamebroiled. Yep we all make mistakes, learning from them makes the difference between remaining blind and clueless or growing in knowledge.....

And then the truth becomes a lie in our minds.
The right can control the message both ways, with truth and lies.

and, looking at the site, it's understandable that you thought the site was legit - it was about 9/11 theories, but any anti-semitism wasn't obvious at first glance. In cases like that, I'd rather someone posts in the thread pointing out what SPLC/ADL/etc. say, to give the poster a chance to edit or self-delete.

... that 2 jurors thought it was OK, and voted to leave it alone. Sadly, there's quite a bit of 'anything goes' mentality among a significant percentage of jurors.

Alerter and jury ...I hope your happy you did this ...you are part of a big problem and you are working against DU. This kind of bullshit is what drives good people away.

Last summer I served on a jury where a new poster called a long-time DU-er (30K+ posts) a 'neo-Nazi'. By a vote of 4-3, the jury let the post stand!

I have found interesting pieces, but have learned (the hard way) that the site was right wing. Now, I'm careful to explore the site beyond the article that caught my attention, but not before I spouted off and made a fool of myself.

I listen to Steph Miller almost every morning and one of her memes is "now a warning??" I've taken this to heart. Remember, there's a reason the right wing is winning the message war with their insane anti American message. It's very well disguised.

It's damn hard work to support the liberal agenda these days. Misinformation abounds.

... and had been given the opportunity to remove it.

Your post today speaks to a high level of maturity and integrity and I applaud you for it.

I would hope that you consider reposting your thread .... obviously with no links to hate sites (clearly, you are disturbed by your accidental link and I am teasing you).

As you can see many, many of us have accidentally linked to right wing sites .... sadly, this site surpassed right wing nuttery and was a full blown (and identified) hate site (I am sure this has happened to many of us, as well).

think of it as a learning experience; ultimately you're responsible for the links you post and their source.....at a certain amount of posts though I would definitley have asked if you were aware of it before alerting - that kind of shyte is annoying too, alerting without confrontation as if you were a single-digit number troll
