This was originally written as a reply to shergald’s fine post Is Daily Kos a “Zionist Occupied Zone”.
I think that it is very important to define where the power really lies.
And the blame.
Blaming the owners of dKos for sailing with the winds of power instead of against them is futile. Not that they are not lickspittle lackeys of a vampirish system…they are that, a bunch of regular Renfields when you get right down to it…but really, folks. It is the Count that needs a stake through his heart.
Master!!! Master!!! Can I have some more…spiders!!!???
Not his little helpers.
Read on for a more thorough understanding of how things are working here on the blog beat.
Dkos is NOT a Zionist-occupied zone.
It is a hustler-occupied one.
Bet on it.
If its owners thought that the viewpoints of the many, many people who have been banned…for almost any and all reasons short of truly abusive personal behavior…would help them in their quest to “win” (That is, to be seen as the prime voice of the centrist/quasi-left that is going to win the next election here in the U.S.), then those people WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BANNED.
There is the long and short of the dKos question, my friends.
Now…the real question is whether the AIPAC folks own the mainstream Democratic Party and huge parts of the media..
If there is even any question left on that point.
I’ll tell you what.
Let any mainstream national candidate make some even tepid anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian remarks and watch the poll numbers in the following weeks. Watch the coverage in the opinion makers like the
NY Times.
Nyetism. (A respelling of the words “NY Times”.)
ALL of the candidates walk in fear of Israel.
All of them.
Am I an anti-Semite because I see the truth of this?
Bullshit.
Could I write this at dKos without being banned/massively attacked?
NYET!!!
Could I write there that it seems to me entirely possible…on the evidence of the last 7 years…that the people who are presently running this country are in the business of DESTROYING it as it presently stands?
Quite consciously?
That they are in essence moles, representatives of another power?
A power that could be called multi-national corporatism?
Or even extra-terrestrial/extra-dimensional/that which has been referred to over the aeons as “Satanic” or dedicated evil of some sort?
No. I would be tinfoil-hatted right outta there.
Why?
Not because it doesn’t make some sort of line-level sense. Again…on the evidence of their consistent failures in action combined with such truly brilliant work on political levels. You are either dumb or you are not. Half-dumb/half-smart? A dumb act. Every time. Except for the occasional idiot savant.
And not because the owners of said blog are themselves representatives of such powers.
But because such viewpoints would distance them from the middle, and thus when the middle does win…as it assuredly will, because the fix is in so deep already that it is plainly poking out of the rear end of the body politic for those with the eyes to see…when the “center” does win they would not garner the credit and power for which they so plainly and nakedly lust.
Dkos is not a “Zionist Occupied Zone”, children.
It is simply a HUSTLER occupied zone.
They see which way the wind blows, and they are hustling to get sailing in the right direction.
Now…do they know this themselves?
THERE’S a question.
My own answer?
Probably.
Dimly.
In the deepest recesses of their own little rat brains.
Just before they fall asleep.
But then they wake up and start justifying.
Justification.
It’s what’s for dinner here in America.
Dkos.
The Drudge Report of the center.
Gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw.
Later…
Gotta go throw out the garbage.
