“We were not born yesterday”

Late Friday afternoon is a time to reorganize the pens on one’s desk according to size and color while staring at the clock on the wall. Instead, we have mail:

We were not born yesterday. Campus Watch is just the latest version of the Zionist plan to propagandize and control the campus and every other key aspect of American Society formulated by the American Zionist Council, an arm of the WZO, which was documented in the Fulbright Senate Hearings in March, 1963 which I will make available to Prof. Cole should the need arise and even before the need arises. You may recall that I successfully sued the ADL and helped to expose its national spying operation in behalf of Israel and its close ally, apartheid South Africa. Yor are of the same ilk.

Jeff Blankfort

And hello to you too.

I confess that I have never heard of Mr. Blankfort, although I was vaguely familiar with the ADL case he mentioned. Nor, in my ignorance, have I ever heard of the Fulbright Senate hearings or the American Zionist Council. Apparently my initiation into these mysteries was incomplete.

Mr. Blankfort, however, appears to be quite the expert, and readers interested in exploring the matter need only Googlehim. They may then select whether to read his work in the ever provocative Counterpunch, or perhaps an endorsement by Israel Shamir, in a charmingly entitled article “The Shadow of Zog.”

His work, such as I can understand it, seems splendidly captured by his four sentence missive. Jews control America for Israel’s benefit. Israel is an illegitimate settler-colonial state. Simple, really. Those possessed of Great Insights, especially Deeply Hidden Ones, are not without their quirks, however. His accusation that Noam Chomsky has undermined the Left on “Israel/Palestine” out of a hitherto unsuspected sentimental attachment to Zionism is one example. This has evidently caused some doctrinal difficulty among those who believe that Noam Chomsky may be the Godhead.

What can I say? On the one hand, life is too short to waste time with such foolishness. On the other, if not confronted, then things get out of hand and nonsense becomes hateful and dangerous. How are we even to characterize Mr. Blankfort’s accusation? The plot seems breathtakingly ambitious. “Every other key aspect of American Society?” That’s, uh, pretty big. And when things get that big, well, you never know how big they really are.

This psychology reminded me of something:

Bart: So finally, we’re all in agreement about what’s going on with the adults. Milhouse?

Milhouse: [steps up to blackboard] Ahem. OK, here’s what we’ve got: the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people --

Bart: Thank you.

Milhouse: -- under the supervision of the reverse vampires --

Lisa: [sighs]

Milhouse: -- are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. [sotto voce] We’re through the looking glass, here, people...

Mr. Blankfort’s email was also sent to Professor Cole, and it will be interesting to see whether he responds. In the meantime, let me plead with the Elders of Zion to please get all these Mossad guys out of my office. They keep eating all the bagels and lox, they do the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzles without asking permission (in ink, yet), and I think they’re the ones leaving the toilet seat up.
