time ago George volunteered to take over from Michael Goldhaber as
moderator. He even promised not to censor anyone, which I thought was
encouraging. But I would hope his comments below disqualify him from
that role, as he clearly does not have the evenhandedness that it
would take to moderate a list such as this, with its diverse
viewpoints. Indeed, pretty much George's only contribution to this
list since his return has been to attack me personally.

      "I do have to laugh out loud at George's criticisms of Michael
G. for allegedly defending me, however. Michael G. has let dozens of
personal attacks like this one go by without comment, but regularly
steps in to chastise me if I express myself ironically or
sarcastically."

      For Mr. Balter's peace of mind, or rather what passes for his
"mind", I have neither any desire nor intent to try to censor the
rubbish he appears compelled to post here. Each person is free, thanks
to the wonderful efforts of the WikiLeaks folks, to make an ass of
himself, as Michael Balter makes evident. The world is heavily
populated with people whose ignorance is cultivated by the (largely
Zionist aligned and owned "American Free Press"). I do not detest
people for being ignorant. I only wish they were better informed about
the actual world in which they (and all of us) are forced to live.
There is but one reason why I detest Michael Balter: He lied in
attributing to me a statement I never made and he refused to make any
correction. My passion is for a world of mutual trust, for which we
must learn to say only what we believe is true. I simply do not accept
Balter's (or anyone's) "right to lie".

      I readily acknowledge my vast ignorance and am glad to make
corrections and apologies whenever my errors are pointed out to me. I
also acknowledge that the privileged and hubris-ridden American Jews,
who largely populate my ethnic roots, give me one pain in the ass.
They are no more nor less detestable than any other privileged and
hubris-ridden ethnic group. They have probably not experienced the
beauty of the humble unprivileged indigenous peoples whose Oaxaca
could serve as a model for the world. Sincerely --George
