One of the reasons I link Joachim Martillo, who can be wild, is that he has been spot-on about political events like the distribution of the "Obsession" DVD as a covert tool of the One-Jerusalem crowd. But speaking of the Obsession DVD, here's a good letter to the Chronicle of Higher Education, linked by the amazing Angry Arab:
To the Editor:
I was delighted to receive my copy of *Obsession*: (the word complete with scary crescents and guns!) *Radical Islam's War Against the West*. I look forward to the next installments: *Obsession: Jewish War Against the Gentiles by Control of the Banking System* and *Obsession: The Negro's Wars on White Women*. It is disappointing to see* The Chronicle* servilely joining in this kind of fear-mongering and hate-making. …

Note the line: "I look forward to the next installments: *Obsession: Jewish War Against the Gentiles by Control of the Banking System*" Now look at this paragraph from Martillo's blog re the financial crisis:
So: Martillo finds "evidence" of a Zionist conspiracy behind the credit crunch. What evidence? He just insinuates. I know this is his theory about Zionists. And yes I think Zionists are all over the Establishment and that Jihadi-Jews have a foothold in the U.S., and this blog is concerned with the unspoken role of ethnicity in our public life. But Martillo's view smells like antisemitism to me.
David Bloom notes: "The credit crunch is not benefitting settlements czar Lev Leviev, whose fortunes are tanking." And yes, let's be clear, Ralph Seliger has been going after me for endorsing Martillo. In this instance, he's right.
