…and “How can we have high level people in our government making foreign policy decisions when they are Jewish Americans?”
by Bill Levinson
Now that MoveOn.org has shut down its Action Forum in disgrace, we must comb through Google’s cache to retrieve even more proof of MoveOn-sanctioned anti-Semitic tirades mixed in with frequent anti-American and occasional racist remarks. Eight out of eight forum participants agree, for example, that “Jews control all the media.”
Enough already!
Another neo-con appeared today on C-Span to defend Bush and his spying program! I am Jewish and proud of it (despite everything) but I am sick of seeing those neo-cons posing as average joes on national television to defend Bush and his lies. Since they don’t have the decency or honesty to identify themselves by saying: “But you know, I am a Zionist and may be biased” and since most Americans can’t tell the difference and don’t have the courage to ask, maybe they should be forced to wear an Israeli flag on the lapel of their jackets. Isn’t it time to tell the American people the truth, i.e. that Jews control all the media.
more?Scores (8) 100% AGREE
Unfortunately the “more” link no longer works, or this would have been even more interesting.
Now, it has been argued that eight people is hardly a representative sample. Applied statistics is among our field of expertise (we have published books and trade journal articles on the subject) and we are quite capable of finding the confidence interval for the number of MoveOn.org members who agree that “Jews control all the media.” We must assume that the eight are a random sample of all who bother to rate the posting for the following technique to be valid, but there is no reason to believe that anyone who cared to object to this statement was denied the opportunity to vote “disagree.”
We next go to the CRC Standard Probability and Statistics Tables and Formulae, “Confidence Limits for Proportions,” and look up the 95% confidence interval for this. The uncertainty (5%) is split between the high and low sides of the interval. For 8 out of 8, we are 97.5% sure that no less than 63.1% of all MoveOn-ers agree that “Jews control all the media.” (It’s easy to calculate yourself. Suppose that only 63.1% of all Move-oners agree that the Jews control all the media. The chance that 8 out of 8 random MoveOn.org Action Forum participants voting “agree” is then 0.631 to the eighth power, or 0.025.)
Actually, the way the table reads, we are 97.5% sure that no more than 36.9% of MoveOn.org Action Forum participants disagree that Jews control all the media.
Regarding the posting below, we have to interpolate the table for 34 out of 37 but we are 97.5% sure that no more than about 22% of MoveOn.org Action Forum participants do not agree with, “sharply curtail any influence from any religious organization with special emphasis towards the Jews.”
Top Ten things-to-do List (If you are elected next November.)
1. Voting regulation reform: Reverting back to paper ballots or analog voting machine technology.
2. Campaign finance reform: Publicly funded campaigns not to exceed one million dollars at the local level and ten to twenty million at the national level.
3. Separation of Church and State reform: sharply curtail any influence from any religious organization with special emphasis towards the Jews.
34 of 37 agree with this.
MoveOn.org-er blames AIPAC for the above postings. If that?s true, all we can say is that 80% or more of the Action Forum participants must be AIPAC members.
Dear MoveOn;
We must find a way to thank the recurring neo-cons who have been promoting this forum. As they say, “Any publicity, is good publicity.”
The swift boaters of the right can be expected to cherry pick the information they use to slander us with, much as Bush cherry picked the information he used to con America into war.
The more people who show up here to read our crackpot theories, the better it is for everyone.
PNAC called for a Pearl Harbor style attack. Bush was warned plenty of times that Al-Queda might attack. Condi even had a report mentioning highjacked planes. Those aren?t theories.
Many Wall Street investors who had ties to the right invested in insurance prior to 9/11 that would protect their investment portfolio’s. That’s also a fact.
I never anticipate my words alone being enough to convince someone that these people are trators and criminals in the worse sense. But I hope I either piss them off enough, or make them curious enough to look into it.
The McFee’s and Levinson’s use the threat of it damaging our reputation to shut us up because they’re afraid people might start listening to us. People are growing more and more vocal every day. [Our observation: MoveOn was afraid people might start listening to you and MoveOn shut you up.]
With the constant slander and attempts over the last few years to brand us as fringe, we can look at this as simply another angle.
MoveOn is an open forum. Anyone can post here, that is a strength and a weakness at the same time. We never know if we are dealing with someone pretending to be someone else. So anti-jewish rhetoric could be coming from AIPAC itself in an effort to brand us as extremists.
We have no way of knowing. Neither does the opposition.
Another all-time winner:
Republicans, Israeli’s and Blacks
Please read this posting very carefully before you get your “shorts” all bunched up! If you want to deliberately miss the point — that’s O K — not everyone is ready to take a look at their real self.
What do they all have in common?
They all yell bloody murder when anyone says anything that they think is directed at their society. If you attack anyone in their society, they think that they might be next. The problem is, is that they mentally identify themselves, as part of a particular group and not part of the whole! They seek safety in the group just as untrained Infantry will “bunch up” when frightened.
Truth has nothing to do with it — they all scream at the same time — the Republicans will unite, and scream, whenever anyone outside there own party challenges their base! The Blacks will scream and play the race card anytime one of their own is singled out! (How many will still proclaim OJ’s innocence?) Israel will play the Holocaust card and scream in unison when Israel is shown to be less than perfect!
With Israel and Blacks, this is their way of preventing any chance of the past injustices being repeated! They are still afraid that the past may repeat itself if they don’t “stick together”! Its their defence against admitting one of their own could be wrong. Most of the Jewish people in the United States support Israel about the same way we support this country. We can acknowledge and criticize our own country’s many mistakes. We can express our “outrage” of what is going on, but when an “outsider” criticizes this country, we rise up as one to defend the United States!

Watch out for the Jewish Octopus!
Even Harvard buckles under AIPAC pressure.
Harvard distances itself from criticism of Israel lobby By Shmuel Rosner WASHINGTON - Harvard University has decided to remove its logo from a study that denounces the pro-Israel lobby’s impact on American foreign policy, in order to distance itself from the study’s conclusions.
According to the study, the pro-Israel lobby is an octopus whose tentacles affect congressional legislation, administration policies, the press and other agencies. The paper focuses on the main pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, but also discusses other organizations, such as the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and devotes considerable attention to pro-Israel government officials - many of them Jewish - such as former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz in the Bush administration and former assistant secretary of state Martin Indyk in the Clinton administration.
The study also accused the pro-Israel lobby of monitoring academics to ensure that they do not diverge from the pro-Israel line. They will undoubtedly see proof of this contention in Harvard?s decision to distance itself from the study due to pressure applied by pro-Israel donors. According to the New York Sun, Robert Belfer - who gave the Kennedy School $7.5 million in 1997 in order, among other things, to endow the chair that Walt now occupies - called the university and asked that Walt be forbidden to use his title in publicity for the study.

War in Iraq is for Israel not US
With the myriad of reasons for the Iraq invastion, (now discounted) the real reason we preemptively invaded Iraq was for the security of Israel and for it’s goal of usurping more land, power and oil from it’s Arab neighbors. The AIPAC is the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. No politician can be critical of Israeli policy without risking losing the money, votes and the power of this lobby. They all know it is political suicide to do so. This is the dirty little secret that no one can talk about! Another big problem is conflict of interest. How can we have high level people in our government making foreign policy decisions when they are Jewish Americans? It is a cystal clear case of conflict of interest. Their loyalty is to Israel and it has become our loyalty too above what is good for America. No other interests should be above American interest, but this is not the case. Our government is in the horrible position now of fighting this war for the benefit of Israel without their help (don’t want a WWW3 situation), without their money and we are losing American lives for a lie. Iraq has never been any kind of threat to America. They are a threat to Israel. Sure we would like to get our hands on Iraqi oil, but that’s not why we are there. The Israeli lobby started asking us to start a war with in the Clinton administration. We wouldn’t do it, but when 9-11 happened George decided he could tie them to it and show the rest of the world they better not mess with us in the process. Of course the “cooked up WMD’s” were largely a result of Jewish Americans in the intelligence community. Please read “A Clean Break”. It describes how this is just the initial step by Israel to change the whole Middle East. Our Pro-Israeli foreign policy is the whole reason for the 9-11 attacks. We let Israel continue to build illegal settlements on Arab land in the Gaza and commit human rights violations one after the other. Although this may not be reported much in our media, the whole rest of the world knows that we allowed the “occupiers” to have free reign and it is making enemies for us world wide. Israel started out as a little country created by the Balfour Declaration after the holocoust tragedy. It has since tripled in size with every preemptive invasion and conquest of the Palestinian and Arab land surrounding it and they are not willing to give any bit of it back. They say they will and then they don’t. The peace process now is nonexistant ever since George decided to have a hands off policy over there. This was very foolish. If there is no peace there, there will be no safety for America either. We give Israel over 3 BILLION dollars a year. No one else gets anywhere near that? I resent that my tax money is used in this way. These are the sad facts that need to be addressed by Move-On. Don’t be scared to tell the truth. Thank you. - Dawn Richeyd, lender (March 22, 2006; Henderson, NV)

Note the date of the above posting. It sort of gives the lie to Eli Pariser’s pathetic attempts at damage control:
http://www.moveon.org/content/pac/pdfs/statement_090206.pdf:
Statement On ActionForum Comments.
Statement from Eli Pariser, MoveOn.org Political Action
MoveOn’s ActionForum is an open forum where members of the public and MoveOn members can post their thoughts regarding important political issues.
Once in a while — as in any public forum — inappropriate material is posted. Recently, a few of the thousands of comments that are posted every week contained anti-Semitic language.
The comments that were posted were abhorrent. We were dismayed to see them, and removed them as soon as they came to our attention 17 days ago.
“Recently,” Mr. Pariser? March 22 was more than five months from the time of your pathetic efforts at spin-doctoring.
