Thanks for removing JO. I have been intensely involved with him from his very first posts. His attitudes toward deep politics were always the most troubling. Even though his expertise is undeniable, it always was closely associated with his constantly shifting and at times incoherent thinking. He had an agenda. Was he a paid shill? Magda would say that he was a professional and didn't need money. Was he an unpaid shill? Was he a shill at all? Was he sincerely and consistently wrong? Was he just stubborn? I don't know. But I would advocate that if this kind of thing happens again, that you take swift action. I do think that JO should have been placed on moderation and sent to Deep Politics school from which he would have had to graduate before posting again.
But once again, I am glad for this action.
And David, thanks for the compliment, but I have to admit that the idea is not original. I have concluded however that the strategy-of-tension acts we are seeing are designed to create social reality, which means introducing new words into common usage? How often did you hear the word "homeland" before 9/11. Here in the states, I only heard used in a fascist context. I was shocked to hear the word being trumpeted around the MSM. "Shelter in place" now conditions us to expect a military appearance in the streets. Terrorism. Global war on terror. Enhanced interrogation. Many others.
