    Satanic Pictures

    (final version)

    By Israel Shamir

    The West was not amused by burning embassies in Beirut and elsewhere.
    “Them there Muslims do not understand our sense of humour; they do not
    understand our idea of liberty”. - droned the newspapers. Others
    condemned the tactless escapade of the Danes but thought the reaction
    was quite out of proportion. However the flare up was anything but
    incidental. [The picture on the left: a burned embassy in Beirut].

    A resourceful American journalist Christopher Bollyn investigated the
    Danish Satanic Pictures and their procurer, one Flemming Rose, and found
    out that Rose was not an innocent lover of freedom of speech, neither
    was he some quaint Scandinavian collector of smut pictures with
    religious connotations who kept his presentations of the Muslim prophet
    next to that of a Nun-with-the-Great Dane. Rose was a devotee of the
    Zionist Neo-Con cult, and made a pilgrimage to the pope of this
    persuasion -- Daniel Pipes, wrote Bollyn.

    So far, so good. But the execrable Rose peddled his stuff four months
    ago, and that's a long time, as the media counts. The Muslims did not
    even notice his effort, as possibly not many of them read the Jylland
    Pest. Like a naughty child who multiplies his effort when his
    well-prepared jibe fails to annoy, eleven newspapers in seven countries
    republished the pictures simultaneously. It was a show of hands: behind
    various newspapers in various countries, beyond companies and
    corporations, we were allowed to see the Enemy, the Not-So-Hidden Hand,
    the player on the international scene across all borders. It was a
    convincing show, and now we know: one will, one design rules the world
    media empire.

    Who organised it?

    Who is the Enemy? Who can control media on such a scale? Sandhya Jain,
    an important Indian journalist of nationalist persuasion wrote: “The
    cartoons were an intentional act of religious disrespect by political
    Christianity, comprising the socio-economic-political elites of Europe
    and America.” Christendom was called the culprit by many other
    observers. But to be sure, the same people who offended Muslims do not
    think twice before offending believing Christians – it is enough to
    recall the Cross changing into a Swastika on the posters of Amen, the
    movie, or the crucifix in a glass of piss (an illustration to the
    Talmud?) in a Brooklyn [a heavily Jewish suburb of New York] Museum.
    There is no religious enmity between the Muslims and the Christians.
    Ahmad Amr was right:

    “The defamatory portrayals of Islam and Mohammed by European ‘free
    speech advocates’ puts Muslims at a distinct disadvantage. They can’t
    very well retaliate by defaming Jesus Christ because they revere him as
    much as they revere Mohammed and consider him a prophet of God.
    Insulting Jesus or the Virgin Mary is considered as blasphemous as
    insulting Mohammed. No true Muslim would ever consider lampooning the
    Mother of Christ because they also believe in the Immaculate Conception.
    In Islamic tradition, Mary will be the first woman to enter heaven. And
    like the Koran, Muslims consider both the Bible and the Torah holy
    texts.”

    Thus we have to exonerate Christians and look elsewhere.

    The Western media is the exclusive domain of Judeophiles: you may have
    noticed it by their extensive and morbid coverage of Sharon’s demise, of
    Jewish fatalities while disregarding Palestinian deaths, of the
    Holocaust issue, of real or imagined attacks on Jews[1]. The Jews have a
    vested interest in promoting anti-Muslim sentiment, for it fits into
    their plans of subduing Palestinians and dealing with Iran. (The
    Iranians immediately recognised it, and turned to anti-Jewish holocaust
    jokes. Equally tasteless, it was a reasonable tit-for-tat.) Indeed, just
    now the non-Zionist World Jewish Congress officially kicked off his
    campaign against Iran , Haaretz informed its readers. AIPAC plans a
    Washington conference titled “Now is the time to stop Iran”. Kurt Nimmo
    correctly called the pictures “a deliberate provocation designed to
    outrage and incite Muslims and thus engender support in Europe and
    America for the manufactured “clash of civilizations” engineered by the
    Straussian neocons”. The Clash of Civilisations, as well as the Satanic
    Pictures affair fit well into the Middle Eastern strategy of organised
    Jewry.

    A clear sign of Jewish involvement in the Satanic Pictures affair was
    given by many headlines: though all the Muslim nations were upset, the
    Jewish-controlled newspapers stressed “Palestinian attacks on
    Europeans”, as in 2001 they stressed “Palestinians rejoice at the
    collapse of the Towers”, though many people all over the world were
    happy at the strike that smote this symbol of arrogance and money power.
    The Israeli daily Haaretz wrote: the Muslim press shows Sharon and
    rabbis in a disrespectful light, let them try their own medicine. This
    amounts to an admission that the Judeophiles were behind the
    publication.

    But our colleagues did not notice a grand plan behind this action. Much
    as the Pictures fit into the plan of fighting Muslims, they fit even
    better into the great offensive on freedom carried out now world-wide.
    From the US to Russia, from England to Italy, our masters promulgate the
    web of laws to strengthen their control and to eliminate the vestiges of
    freedom. In 1968, we proclaimed “Defence de Defence”, “It is forbidden
    to forbid”; but now we are entangled by many new prohibitions. We mayn’t
    choose to smoke or not, to fasten sit-belt or ride carefree. These small
    annoying prohibitions are a sign of our submission to Big Brother. And
    do not tell me it is done for my benefit. I can list a hundred things
    more urgent for my well-being. Let them ban indebtedness first. If I am
    free to take a dangerous loan, I should be free to choose or miss the
    sitting belt.

    Our freedoms are severely curtailed. They exist on paper, but we may not
    use them. We may not say what we wish less our livelihood will be
    jeopardised. So many teachers and professors found themselves out of job
    for saying a word out of turn: in “democratic” Germany, a Communist
    could not work as a teacher. We may not elect whom we want: when the
    Austrians chose Heiger, they were beaten until they agreed to give up.
    Now the Palestinians chose Hamas, and they are told they will not get
    their own tax money until they repent. (In a similar vein, the Bible
    provides for debt cancellation every seven years, but the Talmud allows
    the creditor to tie up and beat the debtor until he insists to pay the
    voided debt). Every time, be it guns for the folks in remote Montana, a
    cigarette in a Dublin pub, a sitting belt for you, or a free vote for
    all of us, the great opinion-making machine of mass media enforced the
    prohibition. Sometimes, as in the case of the Satanic Pictures, it does
    not balk at deliberate provocation to make its point clear: we are not
    allowed to say what we want.

    The media machine’s devotion to the Jewish cause allows us to guess that
    it is not run by oil sheiks. But let us presume (and deal with this
    presumption later) that the Jews and their Judaeophile supporters built
    up their media empire for another purpose. If you feel (as so many good
    people do) an urgent need to exonerate the Jews, you may believe that
    the Jews organised their media holding just in order to fight
    antisemitism, while the evil Mammonites utilised this machine for their
    own need of establishing the world dictatorship. You may consider the
    Jews as the Dwarves who wrought the Ring of Power, and it was taken by
    the Mammonites. They promoted the narrative of antisemitism and
    holocaust in order to keep the Jews fighting on their side against the
    people. They indoctrinate the Jews in belief that the normal humans want
    to devour them and only the ruling Mammonites prevent it. Indeed, as I
    wrote in The Third Dove, there is no antisemitism, as there are no
    witches, and, alas, no Santa Claus.

    The media machine is good at enlisting allies, by the same means the
    ordinary Jews are enlisted, i.e. by propagating fear. They invented
    “homophobia”, so a homosexual will fear normal folks and apply for the
    protection of Big Brother. They invented “male chauvinism” and “battered
    wives”, so women will be afraid of their menfolk and seek the rulers’
    shelter. They invented “racism”, so every ethnic minority would hide
    under the guardianship of Big Brother. They created the myth of “abused
    children”, so the wives will distrust their husbands. These are myths.
    There is no “homophobia” – we really do not give a damn what you do at
    your bedrooms, as long as you do not frighten horses. Men are naturally
    protective of children and chivalrous towards women. White folks like
    blacks being jolly and playing their banjo, as long as it is not all
    night long. I tell you: we all are minorities, and together, we are the
    people. We can do very well together without guardianship of Big
    Brother.

    There is nothing to fear abroad, either. In the days of my youth,
    Americans were frightened by the Domino theory. After the Communist
    takeover of Vietnam and Cambodia, they would proceed to California, run
    the writ. It came to naught. The fear of Communism destroyed trillions
    of dollars of national product across the globe and eventually ruined
    the great social experiment. The victorious mice judge the slain lion:
    at the initiative of Poland and the Baltic states, The Council of Europe
    Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) condemned “horrors and crimes of
    Communism.” Now the machine plays up the fear of Islam. Islam was
    provoked and its response was presented as the proof of its depravity.

    The great fear-producing machine won’t stop at the Middle East, or at
    the narrow Jewish causes, and for a good reason. A tank can be used as a
    nut-cracker, but it has more functions than that. The unified and
    perfected Jewish media machine can be utilised for much more important
    tasks than fighting off holocaust jokes. Its main goal is to bring us to
    the Brave New World, to the new spiritless totalitarianism, while
    smaller tasks are incidental to the great one.

    Last month there were a few important but apparently unconnected
    developments. The British PM, Tony Blair, made a step towards total
    control over his population. England introduced a new computer system
    that collects and stores data of car traffic. Connected to ubiquitous
    video cameras, it allows the Big Brother to trace your movements from
    your work to your girlfriend and to your home. It passed without a
    hitch. Then it tried to pass the Internet Terror Bill, that would have
    given police the power to shut down websites which “promote terrorism”.
    The House of Lords blocked it. Last month the Lords threw out plans for
    a new offence of “glorifying” acts of terrorism. The Government was also
    defeated when peers voted to redraft ministers' version of the offence
    of “intentionally” or “recklessly” disseminating a “terrorist
    publication”. And the best of all, the indomitable Lords blocked the
    bill against “religious hatred” which was supposed to close the only
    loophole for criticising Jews.

    After that, the Adversary splashed the Satanic Pictures. The predictable
    and predicted reaction of the offended Muslims will force the
    parliaments to accept the new set of ‘anti-hate’ laws. Surely these laws
    will not protect the feelings of Muslims and Christians, who, after all,
    encompass only a few billion humans. The Jews, the preferred mascot of
    the Mammonites, will feel better protected (and more vulnerable), but
    more important, freedom of speech will receive another blow.

    This great freedom was the advantage of the West over the Soviet East,
    for one of the less savoury features of the Soviet regime was its
    infamous Article 58 of the Criminal Code “Anti-Soviet propaganda”. In
    the early Stalin’s days, one has to express sympathy with the enemies of
    the Republic to be sentenced; in his heyday, a joke would suffice; in
    Brezhnev’s era it was used to ensure conformity in the society. Even in
    the very end of the Soviet days, the Damocles’ sword of Article 58
    influenced all discussion and eventually allowed Gorbachev to carry out
    his transformation of Russia without a debate. He eliminated the social
    achievements of the Soviet era, surrendered Russian industry and oil to
    a few Jewish crooks, gave the keys of the Russian might to the CIA and
    broke up the country into feuding successor states. The only positive
    feature of Gorbachev-Yeltsin transformation was the removal of Article
    58. Now it is creeping back.

    Some time ago booby-trapped anti-Jewish billboards appeared in Moscow.
    When a passer-by tried to remove it, the explosive device went off. The
    government rushed an ‘anti-hate’ bill through the parliament, and lo! No
    more anti-Jewish billboards came to be. A month ago, there was an
    extremely fishy incident in a Moscow synagogue, and a new reinforced
    ‘anti-extremism’ bill was introduced into the Russian parliament.

    Thus, under the cover of fighting extremism, terrorism and hatred, the
    remainder of freedom on our planet shrinks from day to day. Eugene
    Rostow, “a Kennedy’s Huntington”, predicted in 1960s that the two
    systems, Communism and Capitalism would eventually converge, and bring
    forth the best features of both systems. Now the Convergence has
    actually taken place. Once, the Red East was socially secure, but at the
    expense of personal freedom, while the West was free at the expense of
    equality and social guarantees. Now they have converged: the Russians
    have lost their free schools and health and have received the freedom to
    sleep under the bridge, while the West now has its own Gulag and its own
    political dissidents. East and West reinstalled Article 58 under the
    guise of anti-hate, anti-terrorism, anti-extremism laws.

    The grand plan of world domination is unveiling. On its first stage, the
    power of old elites and of the church was broken. The Mammonite enemy
    used democracy and liberty as his weapons against the old order, and we,
    the Left and the Liberals, enjoyed his support. The adverse vote in the
    House of Lords (albeit reshuffled and remoulded) proves that the old
    system with all its faults had some positive qualities. But that stage
    is over. Now the enemy is fighting against democracy and liberty,
    employing fear and (anti-)racism.

    The enemy has the advantage of infiltrating both left and right, of
    mainstream and alternative media, of interaction on the global scale.
    Following a defeat in England they can attack in France and provoke in
    Gaza. They can cause grief and feign horror at your response. As long as
    this machine is intact, war and fear are unavoidable for they are its
    products. Moreover, this is the reason why the powerful Mammonites – not
    Jews at all – use and support this machine. The machine produces fear,
    and allows them to usher in their dictatorship. But we have to win
    unless we want our children to live in the world of slaves and masters.
    You do not have to care about Muslim sensibilities or Jewish prejudices
    – it is your freedom at stake. We have to think globally because our
    enemy acts globally. We must defeat fear and discord, the main tools of
    the enemy.

    The Pictures are indeed not 'strong stuff' but I do believe you miss the
    point. The publication of these pictures is not the big deal; editors
    that publish them in Jordan and elsewhere in the Muslim world face
    misdemeanour charges, at most a penalty of three months imprisonment.
    The Insult intended is more serious, but few Muslim countries would have
    evoked the maximum penalty allowed under Islamic law. Pictures have
    appeared before, some penned by Muslims, but none of them were
    officially sanctioned.

    Few Muslims are demanding the censorship of the Press, or insisting that
    freedom of Speech be suspended; what they are doing is exercising their
    right to be insulted, and demanding an apology. They could have done
    this on a multitude of issues before this; Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan,
    9/11; a whole host of transgressions against Muslims by the west. They
    have settled on what seems to be a minor issue in comparison, for very
    good reason; every Muslim can identify regardless of political leaning,
    regardless of whether one was Shi'ite or Sunni; Hanafi or Shafiyah.

    It is perfect because it demonstrates clearly the arrogance of the west
    in their belief that they can prescribe to Muslims how they should
    react. It is perfect because it is an issue the west cannot divide
    Muslims on, only the extremely marginalized would agree that the
    reaction is out of order. Muslims for Homosexuality perhaps, or Muslims
    against Islam.

    I, for one, am satisfied that it is a grievous error on the part of the
    Zionist; they sought to cement the anti-Islam bigotry of the West,
    hardly a noteworthy achievement in itself since the West is extremely
    bigoted against Islam already. But they did serve to demonstrate to
    Muslims that they can indeed act in unison, and when they do, it cannot
    be easily contained. That is a lesson that is not missed, believe me,
    and once exposed, is a genie that is hard to put back into the bottle.

    From this will evolve informal action committees: to implement boycotts,
    to lobby for the ejection of diplomats, sanctions against countries ...
    a whole host of resistance type activities. Always, people will be
    reminded of the arrogance with which the Prophet was insulted. This
    campaign was launched on an international scale utilizing the Mosque
    pulpit. Previously, when people attempted to introduce politics into the
    service, there were objections. This time, there was absolutely no
    objection. The boycotts will stick, and Denmark will not be allowed free
    movement in Islamic countries again. Such a thing will blow over in
    west, it will not in Islamic countries because it is grassroots driven,
    and every action against a Muslim, will be linked to this action against
    Islam. It is a small thing; with big consequences.
