WHERE IS THE SECRETARY OF STATE ?

A minor orthodox Jewish newspaper has joined the ranks of the Chinese and Russian media who specialize in doctoring reality.  Hair dyed or not, the Chinese leaders are displaced on the chessboard like the puppets of the regime they are.  When Cairo was of the opinion that the Rais did not receive the coverage that was expected, the pre-revolution Egyptian press altered the photos to give him an equal place amongst the leaders, while in fact he was only present for reasons of courtesy. His propaganda machine would have gone to the extremes, putting him in Yalta, if necessary (with the dyed look, of course).

 For the incriminated paper, Hillary was probably deemed to create an overflow of testosterone amongst orthodox Jewish readers and she, together with a female attendant, was wiped-out of the photo of the Situation Room of the White House which became disreputable, given the presence of two women. History again made a U-turn to falsify facts in the Goebbels/Stalin tradition. That this was done in a Jewish paper is ironic, at least.

Like all present, Hillary would have continued to concentrate on the events surrounding the killing of Bin Laden, rather than being preoccupied with the priapic “angst” emanating from some ultra-orthodox obscure newspaper.  From Nietzsche to Christopher Hitchens, many have rejoiced in or elaborated on the death of God.  In Europe it looks indeed as if He left us with empty places of worship or some creepy ceremonies of the kind we just witnessed in Rome where the blood of Jean Paul II was serenaded in some gigantic Red Cross cult. Sometimes it looks as if the remaining religions, ascending (Islam) or delocalized (Christianity), have found refuge in the grotesque. They make it impossible for the non-believer to muster a minimum of respect for Allah’s butchers, Jewish censors or Christian necrophiles.

To return to the disappearance of the American Secretary of State from what is already an iconic document, one is entitled to be scandalized. It is sexist, anti-historic and in plain view a repulsive lie.  I doubt that Mrs. Clinton will lose sleep over Der Tzitung’s removal or consider how to extricate herself from this Jezebel moment. Nor is this rag representative of the Jewish press.

The manipulation through religion is the problem. Nevertheless, the proliferation of cults, sects, martyrs and yellers cannot hide the fact that the bathtub is running empty. Only Buddhism, which is not a religion “per se”, seems to be able to avoid the booby-traps of vulgarity.

One should not exaggerate the malpractice of a marginal paper. On the other hand, this fraudulent offspring of religion is an eloquent illustration of the amount of distortions that a dying breed might resort to in order to prolong the secular lie of Creationism. The latter is all too often the twin of a populist, anti- intellectual strand that attempts to weaken the more enlightened part of society.  The US administration will have its hands full to dismantle the Jihad/ersatz offshoot now that it has gotten rid of the main imposter. We are entitled to expect more from the media than another religious sham.
