View Full Version : "Radicalization" - Just another Term for - Telling the Truth ?

i had a dream about being in a final exam at college and not being allowed to write down the answer to my final.

the answer was "socializing the costs is ..." just another phrase for, YOUR child dies in the wars Netanyahu & Cheney dream up, Nancy Pelosi signs up for.

socializing the costs is ... the working people of the Gulf region bear the brunt

socializing the costs is ... the people of Iraq and Afghanistan get to live with America's nuclear waste, in the form of Depleted Uranium.


the accounting used to justify these living nightmares is the act of ignorring costs that most young college students would spot in a heartbeat - if you dump 249 tons of cyanide in the process of making 1 ton of some useful metal, you don't ignor that cost.


but now that the Talmud-worshippers' heart beats at the core of American corporate life, the infliction of these costs upon the American and world public continues un-abated. well, actually, i think it's increased lately.


when the US State Department talks about "radicalization", in some cases they are simply talking about people telling the truth.

same for when they talk about "anti-Semitism is on the rise."

in some cases they use the term "radicalization" to talk about people who have been propagandized, and have some concept of the truth, e.g. Muslim "radicals". i think Muslims have some customs left-over from the Middle Ages, when those customs might have been more useful, e.g. suppressing their women-folk - a 1000 years ago, it was probably appropriate to be super-protective of your community's women-folk.

so what's left is a mixed bag - i'm not even sure it's a good example of radicaliza

i think if Muslim radicals got really honest, they'd realize that they're getting their asses kicked militarily, and they would all apply to MIT and Cal Tech, and then they would go build effective missile and airborne defense systems to defend their home countries. instant World Peace, at least in the Middle East.

and, if you visit the US State Department website, i will bet it's
www.state.gov

you will see that "radicalization" and "anti-Semitism" are listed as growing problems.


which means that the Constitution is working and the American people have an honest streak.

and i think that's good news !


in the dream, i was in some position of authority, like handing out pencils, and i kept getting interrupted and didn't have a chance to write the answer.

Loaded epitets is one of the bad guys' favorite propaganda tactics.
Conspiracy theorist, extremist, hate speech, radical/radicalized, etc. These terms are 'loaded' because outside of their true meaning, there is a secondary evaluative meaning colorized by negative emotion.

So what if in your exam the answer to the question was 'Privatizing the gain'? What would you think of then? Bailing out banks that are Too Big To Fail? (TBTF) Or privatizing infrastructure such as water utilities or public lands? This is the other side of the coin from Socializing the Costs. It is also 'telling the truth'. Not politically correct. Seems like political correctness is no longer a self imposed limitation of our speech or thought. We are going to have many levels of police enforcing the elite rules of thought and behavior.

one of the best examples of "conspiracy theory" being a rhetorical technique, used to obfuscate rather than illuminate, is the attack on Pearl Harbor.

if you acknowledge the attack, and ask if it just happened by accident, or if Japan planned it, then you will get agreement 99% of the time - of course Japan planned it, it's conspiracy fact.

but then ... if you bring up the fact that some of the admirals & generals who were serving at the time, stated in their autobiographies that FDR knew about the attack ahead of time ... then most people will bring up the term "conspiracy theory" ... even though they just admitted that conspiracy fact is quite real.

which illustrates one of the primary usages of the term "Conspiracy Theory" - it gets used whenever someone suggests that the US did something bad.
