Good Morning from the Zundelsite:


Recently, in an exchange with a friend, I hit upon the term "Catacomb Media" as opposed to "Lapdog Media" which I am proud to claim as having coined.

Catacomb Media runs in three tracks - the one within regular media, slipping you snippets of half-hearted spunk while still maintaining a facade of meek docility, and then the other kind that either states the obvious and takes things on the chin, or else arrives in unmarked envelopes.

Not much need be said of the first. They know who they are, and it's time to stand up and be counted. What are they - men or mice?

The second kind, the autonomous catacomb media, gets better and better and better. It's growing, leaps and bounds. It is amazingly high-brow, defiant and courageous. Some coming out of Germany is stunning. I read a treatise recently on what has been done to cripple the Aryan mind that is as razor-sharp with words expressing crystal thoughts as you could ever ask.

Wish I could say that of the third. I read it during breaks, because I need to understand what's going on to gear my words accordingly, but never without a strong feeling of shame and sometimes even fear. It is not good for feelings to be driven underground if feelings are legitimate and strong. There is more to be feared, said Cicero two thousand years ago, from unspoken and concealed, than from open and declared, hostility. And that hostility is growing against the Masters of Mendacity, and everywhere you look, it shows.

But what is heartening is this: more and more people in power and position are coming out in favor of outspokenness, and plain folks notice that.

And, commenting on the Israeli lobby wielding enormous influence on the American media and in government, he added:

"The lobby is so strong, it is difficult to overcome . . . The media in your country is dominated by a certain faction. They are stronger than I am. This is a fact. Others are afraid of this lobby. If someone speaks out, they suffer all kinds of negative reaction. I have a number of letters from people who complain about pressure exerted on them when they tried to put out the truth."

You know what Americans say in one of my favorite proverbs: "If you want to clear the stream, get the hog out of the spring."

Let that be your Thought for the Day.
