| What is Anti-Semitism is(and what it is not).
An anti-semite is a person who hates people of semetic anscestry, i.e Hebrews or Arabs. Anti-semitism is a form of racism which is a form of materialism. "Racism" as we understand it today is a relatively modern phenomena. All true darwinists, like Hitler for example, must be racists since their materialistic understanding of the human mind does not permit the true existence of an exterior Truth or Logos, therefore civilizations which are more advanced are more advanced because their minds have evolved further(whatever the heck that means). Racism is completelty irrational and therefore sinful. An anti-semite is a person who hates semites. An anti-semite is not a person who disagrees with Judaism or even a person who dislikes Judaism. It is possible to be anti-jewish or anti-islamic without being anti-semetic. Ordinarily though, anti-semetism and anti-judaism go hand and hand. A person who believes that a jew or group of jews has done something wrong in history is not an anti-semite or anti-jewish. Catholics believe that the Jewish mob in Jerusalem, goaded on by political leaders who were more political than religious(pharisees) were responsible, in part for the crucifiction of Jesus who we believe to be God. So if one says "the Jews killed God" he would not be anti-semetic simply for saying it. Of course he shold distinguish between Jews living then and Jews living now, and it would be as unjust for him to treat a modern Jew as if he had personally killed Jesus as it would be for a modern Jew to treat an individual Catholic as if he were Torquemeda(sic?). I sometimes read Jewsweek magazine where I decided to post about an article they had about Lord of the Rings. I couldn't fit it all in there so I sent a letter in. The editor emailed me back and asked me to post the whole thing in the "talk back" section. In between e-mails I posted on an Passion of Christ article in which the journalist accused Mel Gibson of being an anti-semite for refering to his detractors as "those guys". The journalist infered from this that Mel Gibson was refering to "Jews", indeed not just some Jews but all Jews, every man, woman and child. I then criticized her article and her for for being liberal(she also attacked the NRA and Tom Selleck because of his support of the NRA after Columbine which was to her another example of why actors should keep their mouths shut). I satired her broad interpertation of "those guys" first by pointing out that by and large, Mel Gibson's critics happened to be Jewish but he hadn't said this, she was admitting it. I then used the phrase "those guys" or "those people" to refer to liberals. Now Jewsweek won't let me post on their site. Apparently I am also an anti-semite. Imagine that. And I worship a Jew. | | |
| Well Mel showed the movie to the Pope. He liked it, evidently. He said "It is as it was."As good a review as I can think of. And the Anti-defamation leauge has backed down since not even Abraham Foxman would question the Pope's commitment to the Jewish people.

Last Night I had a vision...
Actually I had a dream. I dreamed I was driving around in a MAC truck running people off the road. Now why would I have a dream like that? Well maybe it had something to do with the "Return of the King" which I saw last night at 12:30 AM(I guess that would make it this morning). Unfortunately, I woke up before getting a chance to run over Peter Jackson. "Dreams are so related though they're often underestimated"...Now what was old Petey thinking? Perhaps he was thinking "Hmmm.....Here I have one of the greatest pieces of literature in all of literary history. How can I best screw it up and turn it into action adventure story. What are the most important, climactic, character driven portions of the story which I can take upon myself to change or even leave out. Muuuhhhaahaaa! Well, I could start with that Eowyn/Witch King of Angmar scene. That is probably one of the coolest scene's in the Lord of the Rings. certainly one of the reasons that people love the book. How startling it was when that brave rider faced off against the leader of the Nazgul who said "No living man can hinder me", and tearing off his helmet the soldier revealed himself to be none other than Eowyn! "But no man am I!" Ha! How exciting, how brilliant and unexpected! How can I screw this up? Oh I know, I'll show Eowyn ten scenes earlier on a friggin horse with armor instead of using her blond friggin hair to make her indistinguishable from the rest of the riders. And who is this Tolkien guy anyway, why should he get all the glory, I think that I , Peter Jackson am capable of improving upon the greatest novel of the century." That may have been what Peter Jackson was thinking, but then several seconds later he mut have thought something like this:"Now that I've screwed up the second best scene in "Return of the King" , what about the first? Why be an underacheiver? Why settle for second best when I can go all the way? Why not fiddle with the climactic Sam/Frodo/Gollum Cracks of Mount Doom sequence. Yes, you know the one which Tolkien fans have been waiting to see on screen since they were flopping babes dreaming of battles and adventure? Surely, if I want to piss off millions of people and cause Tolkien to rise from the dead only so that he can throw himself off building screaming "My life's work, my life's work, ruined, ruined!!!", this would be one way to do that. So instead of having Frodo put on the ring and tear Sam into little bits, mocking his loyalty, belittling him, showing the Gollum that is in him(and everyone), I'll make up an entirely new and unnecesary sequence in which to do this, and then when its time to put on the ring, I'll just use some scary lighting since Elijah Wood evidently can't act and instead of Gollum falling off the end of the cracks off doom clutching for his ring greedily, I'll make frodo push him of thus depriving this entire scene of the "wages of sin is death" or "greedy people bite it" message. Yes that's what I'll do. After all, I'm Peter Jackson. I can do whatever the Hell I want. I'm under no obligation to Tolkien or his fans, I'm trying to make money. Geez, I am a pathetic and unartistic Hitler like figure, burning Tolkien's books for the sake of my vision. But at least now I'm filthy rich". Yes , perhaps Pete was thinking something like that. Well if there's any lesson from this Hollywood rendition of a literary masterpiece, its that "The Ring of Power corrupts anyone who puts it on." I'm signing off, I actually feel sick.

The True Face of Peter Jackson

| I'm In The Mood In Which Men Burn Witches...
Well they're really trying to bury this film, but it itsn't going to work. If anything, they(yes, it is a conspiracy) are going to increase publicity for this film and when comes out in theaters Feb 25, and blows people away, they will be eating their words. They includes the Anti-defamation Leauge, an orginization of secular Jews("Do not presume to say to yourself, 'We have Abraham as our Father', God could take any one of these stones and make it into a son or daughter of Abraham"), The New York Post which in a precedent setting move STOLE a copy of the unfinished film had a Jesuit(God help us), a liberal rabbi, a so-called Early Church scholar(who evidently doesn't believe any of the literally thousands of pages of early christian writings and debates), a film reviewer and a "randomly selected" Baptist. Suprise, surprise, the same news organization which had the gall to steal Mel's movie didn't like the film. They thought it was "anti-semetic". Funny thing, it seems that every conservative Jew who watches the movie loves it. Rabbi Lapin, Michael Medved, Matt Drudge and there are many more. You can go to Aint-It-Cool.com where the word Oscar is dropped frequently in regards to this movie, there you will find some stunning reviews of this movie. The Atheist says its the most important film of the century. He says it will sweep the acting oscars. In answer to the question "Is this film anti-semetic?" he asks "Are you on crack?".Pretty much everyone who has seen this movies loves it, Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation leauge hates it but then Abraham Foxman approves of the genocide of unborn children in America, he's compromised with the same philosophies which murdered his people by the millions. He does not deserve to be called a Jew, he just happens to be semetic. Some of the villians in the Passion of The Christ happen to be semetic, they happen to be Jewish but that's not why they're villians. Apparently Foxman thinks that being distantly related to Abraham is going to get him out of the eternal hotseat. The very fact that he cries "Anti-semetic" when a Jew is presented as doing something bad, reveals either a large amount of arrogance on his part, or a confusion of his anscestry with his religion, or a great deal of stupidity and muddle headedness or all three. Its a fact that many of the great prophets who told of the coming Messiah were murdered by their own people as was the Messiah himself. This is all part of God's plan though. There was always a remnant of true believers, and the remnant in the first century AD became the first Christians. Who, were Jewish, as was Jesus as were all the apostles. No, this movie is not anti-semetic, nor are the Gospels, but I'm begining to think that a great many liberal Jews are "anti-gentile". It's not because they're semetic though, or because they're Jewish. There are good guys and bad guys in all times, in all races, all sexes and all nations. I don't feel personally guilty for the Spanish Inquisition, even when somebody is yelling at me for it(I have no problem with the Inquistion in France, with the Cathari, just as I had no problem with the Inquistion in America with the Reds, or the recent post-911 terrorist inquistion). By the way, The New York Post theft has only generated support for Mel Gibson in a Hollywood which was more sceptical before and the FBI has announced that it will personally conduct an investigation into how this happened. Way to go Mel, this film is going to deliver a mighty blow to the stranglegold of secularism in America. When this movie kicks ass and takes names at the box office, Hollywood will be forced to recognize that the majority of people in America, and the world, are still honest God-fearing patriots who are sick and tired of this pagan bullshit. I hope, that just as the Folio club and virtually every library in England found "the Lord of the Rings" on top of its "greatest book of the century" poll, thus proving that most people are still looking for Christ even if they don't know it, so this movie may put a knife in Hollywood's wicked heart and destroy its allusion that most Americans are as depraved and liberal as it is. GO MEL! God bless you for having the guts to do this.
