  1. As a former philosophy student of Professor Jim Fetzer during his tenure at UMD, I couldn't be more embarrassed by this broadcast.

    With Mr. Glenn's inane commentary (that goes so far as to compare American support of the modern state of Israel to addiction such as alcoholism!) professor Fetzer allowed a guest on his program that demonstrably does not understand the realities of life in the contemporary Middle East.

    The simple fact of the matter is that from Gaza to Lebanon Israel is fighting a proxy war with Iran. Who does Mr. Glenn think Hezbollah get its missles to launch attacks from Lebanon? Answer: Iran. Who supplies rockets and training to Hamas to fire rockets from Gaza? Answer: Iran.

    Please know Mr. Glenn, that there many of us out there who are highly educated, well trained in critical thinkers such as myself who support the modern state of Israel despite any pseudo-intellectual bullsh!t you care to invent and propagate.
    As democracies Israel and the United States share many of the same values, goals, and hopes for peace and stability in the future.

    As for Professor Fetzer, any respect I had for you in the classroom as a philosophy professor at UMD is lost in my sheer embarrassment and disappointment at your apparent inability to see Israel as the innocent party that she is. May I suggest that you limit your pontifications to subjects like paranoia based conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 as opposed to subjects like Israel's right of self-defense which you seem to know nothing about?

    1. That is how things look on the surface of things. But the technique of the Jewish elite is always to create its own opposition.

    2. Hope you can contribute something in philosophy doubtful though - in politics you're simply lost.

  4. Jim, I was stunned to hear you've not read Michael Collins Piper's book on JFK, but it helps explain the gaps in the shows you've had on JFK's assassination.

    “The Final Judgment” was one of the most compelling books I’ve ever read, alongside Michael Palumbo’s “The Palestinian Catastrophe: The 1948 Expulsion of a People from Their Homeland”, and Alfred Lilienthal’s “The Zionist Connection”.

    Piper’s work appealed to me, a grad-level scientist, because it was convincingly, meticulously and logically documented and researched, including using material from the US and Israeli government’s own archives. Literally a page-turner, with Piper adeptly guiding the reader without confusion despite the complexity of the interconnections between people and events.

    Piper’s work merits being on every high school and higher-ed reading list. Instead, in order to ensure his truths would never become widely disseminated, there had to be a thorough discrediting of him and his work. And this has succeeded. Mention his work even to so-called progressives, and be prepared for ridicule, at best, that’s assuming they’ve even heard of it.

    JFK is so beloved by Americans, many of whom hold the ‘official’ story associated with his assassination in contempt, that it’s a tragedy that Piper’s book is prevented from filling the void in the JFK story as well as the Zionist malevolence in many other aspects of US life.

    Piper would be in a good position to write a ‘real’ history book of 20th century USA, as supplement and antidote to Howard Zinn’s work, with the knowledge he gained writing this book, to show Zionism’s success in forming the framework for practically every aspect of life in USA, including its foreign policy.

    When I left the above comment at Syd Walker's blog, he responded: "In retrospect, I think the greatest mistake JFK was not to insist on UN inspections of Irael’s weapons systems, ensuring his entire argument with Israel was out in the open. If the truth about his conflict with Israel had been widely known at the time, it would have given him protection.

    I gather Zionist friends pursuaded him it was better to deal with Israel away from the public gaze. Some friends!"

    Syd had a fascinating post on Donald Rumsfeld in his early days as a congressman in the 60s: "What Bothered Junior Congressman Rumsfeld":

    The Israel Lobby archive link in the above post is an excellent resource.

    Your radio shows are invariably of a high caliber, but sadly your guests' connections are often dismal, and the sound distorted.

  5. ggallin. Israel is a vibrant, peace loving democracy in the Middle East. I personally have friends who have served in the IDF and they are hardly "thugs". Could it be that your ignorance of the facts is excelled only by your anti-Semitism?

    I want to just comment too that in regards to my comments yesterday about Professor Fetzer...they were in no sense meant to be taken as an attack on him either as a person or as a professional. Professor Fetzer was an OUTSTANDING professor at UMD. His work in the philosophy of science, epistemology, and philosophy of mind are highly regarded by his peers. My comments were meant to apply only to his notion that Israel is somehow a terrorist state...which any person familiar with history knows it is not.

  6. I have something to add.Prof.Fetzers honest quest for truth regardless of what others think or say has led him to the disgusting,criminal behavior of Gods chosen people as a whole.The same behavior that in the past has led to pogroms and exile in over 100 Countries.If we have been lied to about the motive behind most if not all the wars which we've been involved in,why should we believe what our zionist controlled Government has told us concerning Germany and WW2?

  7. First, a person must be ignorant of connections and details, to suggest Dr Fetzer's work is mere paranoia in any sphere, whatever mistakes may be made in the broadcasts along the way. And discussion must be free to air all opinions including yours and his, to be correctable. Anyway, if umd4israel cannot see that people within Israel are propagandized and involved in an ideological war which only benefits others, who do not want peace in the region, I hope one day s/he will wake up about it. Of course Israel is a country and now that it's there (thanks to British desires of the 19th-20th cent.), so it should be treated equal to other areas in the region not better not worse. As a matter of fact -- sorry, umd4israel -- though people get overwrought on both sides of "the conflict" there (Hamas/Israel), the fact is when Hamas attacks it is mostly in retaliation for gross invasion of ITS COUNTRY. Not in aggressive action in the sense of out-of-border action invasion. Israel is the more mighty and bullying the area with its politics and weapons. No one should fight, but if a bully will not leave you alone, then you must defend. Sometimes Hamas aggresses overmuch, but usually in fact it is in relation to a situational violence or an invasive aggression by Israel. I watched a special on where Israel said it was "protecting itself" and IT had invaded Hamas' land. They vilified them for having an army defending their OWN land. This is evil. Whatever the other issues, that is bullying lying propaganda way out.

  8. Thank you Sally for your link and your mention of Piper. I have been in touch with Jim about the connection of JFK's death and Israel (through Canada). He has yet to register that and reply. :) Through Permindex (later famous in the Italy P2 Lodge/ Vatican Banco Ambrosiano hell-hole scandal), Lanksy, the Bronfmans etc., JFK's death was linked to the Mossad, the bootlegging mafias (Jewish and Italian), and possibly to the English City of London backers of much of that, plus (yes) the Vatican power structure terror-plotting groups. The Permindex connection was uncovered by Garrison through DeMorenschild, though Garrison didn't know what it meant.
