Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Greg Burnham]

Zionism needs to be seen in a similar light.
It (zionism?) is not Nationalism, philosophy, ideology or religion. It is a conspiracy, first and foremost, perpetrated by a cadre of ruthless individuals who do not even
themselves live in the region.

Greg,

Usually you offer an explanation for your conclusions... and very effectively...

when you write that Zionism is a conspiracy first and foremost... in the vein of None Dare and the power elite's creation/support of Communism as an economic and political state to counterbalance capitalism and democracy...
you are not differentiating the two...

All I can conclude is that your statement presupposed that this cabal initiated/assisted in creating Israel and Zionsim to add yet another balance/counterbalance situation in an area and in a time that needed it.
Giving the USA the opportunity to chose their side while the USSR let it be known that any action on one side of the coin will be met with an equal and opposite reaction.

In THAT light... I believe I understand your comment... and can now spend some time pondering THOSE implications....

please correct me if I am putting meaning into your words that is off base... I respect your opinion quite a bit, yet I don't always GET where you're going

Cheers

You are getting the gist of it. I think it is important to note that whenever 2 (or more) diametrically opposed radically extreme religioius ideologies are forced to co-exist
within a close proximity to each other the political equivalent of a static charge is present. Since both sides are amped up with mutually exclusive "charges" it is rather
naive to imagine that the powers who "engineered" the circumstances forcing the oppositely charged sides together were unaware of the future ramifications of their actions.
Indeed, they counted on it. Just like rubbing your shoes on the carpet, as soon as you get close enough to a surface to discharge the energy "snap" and there it is. If you want
to do it again, rub again and repeat as often as you like. Of course, the longer you wait to discharge the more powerful it will be when it does occur. If the discharge occurs
closer enough to a flammable liquid or flammable gas a "regional" fire is not only possible, but likely. I would prefer to not get overly allegorical, but it might already be too late.

(My above use of the word naive is not directed at you, David, but in general.)
