[lbo-talk] Paranoid Styles, Soviet and American (was Hamas "a project of Shin Bet")

[Jesse Lemisch]

It's good to have Doug finally weighing in on this, but he seems to have
missed a lot. Of course I have used the proper pronouns in reagard to
Yoshie. It's not my problem if in her views she joins what I found on this
and other lists to be, "a solid wall of male solidarity."

And here again we have somebody citing the day-school monstrosities, in
which children were manipulated to "recover" memories, and after all this,
no awareness of a central point that has been made repeatedly: Bettina
recovered thiese memories in her sixties.

One of the diffculties involved in discussing these matters with illiterates
(Pope-like, Doug bestows the title "voices of reason") who haven't read the
book about which they endlessly pontificate is that matters that are obvious
to anybody who has read the book are not known to these alleged voices of
reason. e.g. that Bettina did confront Herbert with all this, and -- unless
you think it's a lie -- he acknowledged it, and all this was done in the
presence of a witness, albeit one friendly to Bettina, but a witness
nonetheless.
