Joe W: conspiracims? what's that? Did you mean conspiracismus? or perhaps conspiratismo? I am not mixing anti-semitism with anything, nor is anything I write 'conspiratorial'. The term conspiracy theorist is a prejudicial epithet weilded by the likes of Berlet to try to suppress discussion of certain things. It is a useless term that does not help anybody understand anything. Its like calling someone a 'communist' in the 1950s. Let's discuss the facts.
p.s. I thought you had vowed to ignore my posts, what happened?
