Zbigniew: 'Crack Down' on Slanderers of the Prophet(PTUI) & Morsi is 'relatively moderate'
2012-10-06
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: From what I understand, Mr. Morsi is an intelligent and a relatively moderate
i.e. an islamofascist who isn't personally a terrorist
leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. And let's not be carried away by rhetoric about this very sad incident: the film, and then the reactions and the killings. The point he makes is not all that invalid. It's not a question of freedom of speech entirely. It's also an issue of responsibility. Consider this: if you were to yell "fire" in a theater, twenty kids could stampede it, and it was a gag on your part, or some malicious thought. You would be liable. You would not be acquitted on the basis of freedom of speech.
Zbig is spouting BS.
A correct analogy would be this: In a theater full of Muslims someone yells 'Mohammed sucks!'. The Muslims get furious and intentionally burn down the theater.
There is some indication--not conclusive, but it's worth looking into--that there was a conspiracy involved here.
Israel, the Mossad, the Juice did it!
People who produced the film remain anonymous, more or less, or having tried to hide.
Now why would a critic of Islam try to hide?
Some guy with strange name in California.
And he's an expert on strange names!
Another guy who specializes in attacking Islamic groups.
Attacking or peacefully criticizing?
A crazy
Zbig's an expert on 'crazy' too!
pastor, Christian pastor, in Florida who likes to provoke Muslims, produce a movie. Who paid for it? How was it financed? Why are they keeping quiet about it? What was its intent? Just to amuse? Just to put on YouTube so people would laugh? No! Clearly to provoke violence, killings. Isn't that a conspiracy?
No it isn't. If these people collaborated at all they collaborated in a perfectly legal activity. Violent crimes & threats by islamofascists however might involve a criminal conspiracy.
In other words, I would like us to take a more explicit position to the Muslim world. We're not only condemn this, but if there are evil forces at work trying to provoke violence between us and you, we have the obligation to investigate and to clamp down.
'The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam!'
One of the reasons why Jimmuah Carter was so awful is that he hired Zbig as his national security advisor.

#11  And this is from the guy who said the Iranian Army would remain loyal to the Shah if the Ayattola came back to Teheran.

#10  Took an upper division History course in summer of 1978. One of his books was on the reading list. Scary then, scarier now. The Professor,of course, thought he was a god, a harbinger of a new world order. He was right about that second part.

#9  Zbiggy's one of those guys that, if you listen to him and do the exact opposite of what he said, you'll probably do okay. Carter had a lotta guys like that, including the guy he saw in the mirror every morning.

#8  "Brzezinski... later collaborated with Carl J. Friedrich to develop the concept of totalitarianism as a way to more accurately and powerfully characterize and criticize the Soviets in 1956."

So he worked to deliberately criticize the Soviet Union, while being fully aware of the fact that Soviet ideology doesn't condone criticism of itself and in general encourages violent suppression of dissent.

How would he have liked it if Eisenhower had taken a more explicit position to the Communist World?
We not only condemn this, but if there are evil reactionary forces like Brzezinski at work trying to provoke violence between us and you, we have the obligation to investigate and to clamp down.

According to his logic Brzezinski himself and his family should have been extradited to the Soviet Union in the 1950s.

The Soviet Union in 1956 had huge conventional forces and nuclear weapons. The West did not surrender.
The Arab-Islamic world is no military match for the West. Why would realists argue in favor of surrender?

Nuts!

Class, please open up your ‘Propaganda Made Easy’ handbooks and turn to the Conspiracy section. Ok, now let’s begin with step one. First, you need to rhetorically question intent. You see, speculation of motives is widely considered a vulgar practice so this method can be quite disarming. Next step is to offer up a couple of non sequitur explanations. It’s recommended to use illogical or even silly examples. For more information you can go to the ‘Get to Know your Straw Man’ section. And finally, announce your speculation with clear conviction. Chances are good you will be able to convince a fair number of the gullible and weak minded. And remember, should anyone challenge your assertions – call them racist.

#4  Ha! after the mess him and Jimmuh made over there that we are still living with, I wouldn't believe Zbig if he told me water was wet.

#3  The conspiracy I believe is that Al Queda realized this film trailer would upset some folks so they shopped it around at Mosques they knew they could count on to get a lot of rioters out on Sept 11 and cover their numbers and make it look as if the entire Muslim world supported the attacks.

Another conspiracy theory I believe is a President realized the attacks made his entire foreign policy look naive and dangerous so he grabbed onto any cover story that might work damn the constitution. His followers had supported nonsense in the past and they'd support this nonsense and for awhile he was right.

#2  Carter era Eastern Euro elitist, Bilderburger, and aging oxygen thief. Probably still on the SVR payroll. Please go fishing or write a new book and leave us alone!

#1  Walid Shoebat alleges the film was made by Palestinian terrorists from Bethlehem, using identity theft and financed with credit card fraud, to blame it on Coptic Christians--that is a conspiracy that makes sense. He also rightly questions why the Feds haven't prosecuted previously in decades of known crimes....
