Suleyman Ahmad Stephen Schwartz must be constantly dancing along the edge of normality. Everyone from a revisionist historian (Max Weiss) to a physicist (Nick Herbert)--and now a young housewife ("Herbalist")--can send him screaming over the precipice.

In the case of the revisionist, SS made it clear that he wants him dead, but only after enduring a sufficient amount of torture. The physicist is mercifully spared the torture prior to death, while the housewife is chivalrously allowed to live after being financially ruined through the courts, if SS has his way with her. The crime those three individuals committed that unleashed on them "the wrath of Schwartz" was that they wrote something he disagreed with.

Steve's naked need to punish others for the crime of speaking out makes one wonder what in the mind of SS could possibly give his "all who disagree with me must die" worldview any moral high ground over the Nazis? (I mean the "cartoon Nazis" as seen through the eyes of Jewish historians.)

I'm beginning to understand why SS is so opposed to free speech and to open inquiry into historical facts. Prior to the Internet, "Schwartzes of the free world" never had to fear that their version of reality would be challenged. They controlled, almost totally, the means of disseminating information to 99% of the people, and in a democracy what the majority thinks it knows is what counts.

People like Schwartz and his ilk could reinvent themselves every few years, depending on the political climate, and their past lives disappeared down a black memory hole. Prior to the Internet, we would never have discovered through The Wall Street Journal, or any other mass media Schwartz writes for, that their pet political analyst was formerly known as "Comrade Sandalio." We would never have known that this same political analyst had been typecast by those among whom he lived as "the philosophical whore of North Beach."

Yes, SS and the mostly Jewish-funded organizations who are attempting with "hate laws" to shut down free speech on the Internet have much at stake. While the Foxmans of the ADL and the Morris Deeses of the Southern Poverty Law Center file lawsuits to ruin the lives of those not in line with their agendas, SS, without their resources but with equally large fistfuls of venom, can only foam at the mouth.

Still we owe SS a debt of thanks! With his uncontrollable hatred for everything he does not understand, he provides, against his will, an undiluted view of how his kindred spirits, with more intelligence and more self-discipline than he, feel and think behind their smiling faces and inoffensive words. How many not-so-obvious Stephen Schwartzes are busy "creating your reality" right this moment, deciding what you shall hear and see, and, more important, what you shall not?

But let's end on a positive note: The fact that "the powers that be" have need to resurrect amoral monsters like Henry Kissinger and disgusting fools like Stephen Schwartz as their mouthpieces gives rise for hope. This strongly suggests that their supplies of good intellectual ammunition are running low and that their position is not nearly as impregnable as they would want us to believe.
