It’s official – Christian Pecaut is mentally invalid

March 24th, 2007Esra'a (Bahrain)

Mr. Pecaut has been posting paranoid comments here for a little over two weeks now. I just received this e-mail from him regarding our Darfur campaign site, and I have to say, Mr. Pecaut has crossed the line. There is a sphere of sanity – he’s not in it.

The e-mail reads:

The Darfur campaign is the stupidest fucking bullshit set-up by US/Israeli imperialism that I have ever seen.

You no doubt were funded by a CIA source — it’s disgusting you fink loser.

Who is funding this site? Let’s see. NOBODY. Not every website receives “funding” – we live in an age where it’s extremely cheap and easy to set up and lead these types of websites. Just because you are not smart enough to figure it out doesn’t mean we have people doing or funding this for us. We do it ourselves – through our own efforts. Take your crap assumptions elsewhere. The site was made by Arabs and Muslims FOR Arabs and Muslims.

From now on, if you read any comments by this paranoid fool, either mock or ignore it. I’ve had enough of his idiocy. I won’t allow people to make these ridiculous claims about things we worked really hard for, and things neither the “Zionist agents” nor the “CIA” have any connections to.

  1. LOL. It’s nice becoming part of a conspiracy theory. :)

  2. I guess if we are associated with CIA agents, that means our work is pretty professional, huh? I should look at the bright side and take this as a compliment.

    Yallah ya Drima, reveal your identity now.. chief of staff at Condi Rice’s office! We know it’s true, be a man and just admit it.

    And if you do, I will admit that I had a huge affair with the Israeli president. It was phenomenal. He calls me his “zona” now.

  3. LOL!!! hahaha, Can i be something?? PLEASE, PLEASE PLEAAAAAAAASE!! I want to be the head of CIA!! PLEASE!! :’(

  4. Now I know this guy is mental for sure.

  5. He sounds Canadian

  6. Really? I was thinking Irish.

  7. Hmmm….maybe acts more like a Baharaini

  8. Or maybe like… your mom.

    Kidding.

  9. & you see – I was one of the first ones here who attacked him at once, because I knew that spirit at once frome experiences bofore – very sad for me, that my own nephew got incitided by that conspiration theories & I gave up argueing with him anymore

  10. .. which doesn’t mean that Pecaut is my nephew – I wanted to say ‘.that also my nephew got incited…

  11. Esra’a-

    Actually…it might be my mom…Lord bless her…but she can be a bit “mashnuna”…sometimes more than a bit.

  12. I think it is easy to point fingers and its easy to reveal your ignorance ….

    I was like … what was he thinking of? ok ..accusing somebody will make them back off? surely not ….. strange how ppl act sometimes

    Howie,

    It is Majnuna and not mashnuna :) ….of course no offense Esraa.

  13. Esra’a

    Ha ha..Bashar agrees with me.

  14. Let’s review the recent http://www.darfur-awareness.org propoganda:

    March 24, 2007 – recommends Alex de Waal’s “must read” “article” which demands: “American leadership to avert such disasters is needed now.”

    February 20, 2007 – praises American Islamic “Congress”, with 5 “distinguished speakers”: a girl paid by Yale, published by NYT and ABC 20/20; a guy paid by Brookings Institution; an NGO-creating Fulbright scholar; son of a “diplomat” who lectures in Hebrew; a former US Navy man.

    December 23, 2006 – recommends Werner K’s blog, a South African UN military “observer” who was supposed to be paid by the African Union to sit around in Darfur, but evidently the mercenary’s check never came, and the EU paymasters need succouring. He’s and his buddies aren’t leaving till they get their money. That’s commitment! Especially to such a crisis.

    and, my favorite…

    December 23, 2006 – also recommends the Darfur “Wall”. What is this “Wall”? It is 40 dark gray blocks arranged in an HTML table. But no! In the schizoid kindergarten logic of Darfur flunky, these blocks are transformed: “The numbers 1 to 400,000 cover the 40 panels of The Darfur Wall. Each number represents a person killed in Darfur. By donating $1 or more you can light a number, turning it from dark gray to brilliant white. As we light the wall, we acknowledge the importance of each life lost, we cast light upon a tragedy too many have ignored, and we overcome one barrier to peace.”

    Making the fundraising target $ amount = the number of dead bodies you scare people with. Now that’s “brilliant”.

    Reminds me of the first time I saw the “Save Darfur” mind control victims at Google’s very own Stanford. All it took was flashing images of a few emaciated and mutilated Africans while scolding the impressionable undergraduates for their decadent and shameful indifference, and they (literally) lined up to hand over the $20 bills.

    But apart from all this empirical proof of the hollowness and imperialist subserviency of the Save Darfur campaign, what about my accusations? Do I deserve censure?

    Is someone who encourages others to take such transparent manipulations seriously accurately described as a “fink”?

  15. Christian,

  16. On the famous Mental Instability Hoax:
    http://www.imaginenine.com/volitility.html

  17. Christian….

    I guess I missed something…I realize you are insane…but I still have to respect you…but I completely missed your point.

    Is Darfur a myth perpetrated by Americans and Zionists in order to:

    Rip people off for money?
    Make Arabs look bad?
    Help overthrow the Bashir government?
    Give Christian something to get excited about?

    I probably won’t get a rationale answer…but hell…I am will to take my chances…

  18. The purpose of the Darfur myth is to cover for US/UN overt military intervention into the Sudan and surrounding areas. All of the rape and extermination atrocities were secretly arranged and encouraged by this same US/Israeli group that puppets the UN.

    I say “US/Israel” because I understand that Israeli thugs and their supporters are the lead bullies amongst bullies who direct US military imperialism — so Israel, while small numerically and territorially, has a larger percentage of control over the war decisions.

    Since China oil capital invest heavily into the Sudan, the propoganda campaign also threatens to increase the percentage world dominance of US/Israeli oil capital, AND indirectly vilifies the Communist Chinese government for allegedly supporting the Darfur atrocities.

    Such imperalist maneuvers are on a higher-level than “making money” — it’s violent redistribution of capital power — the high-level capitalist bookkeeping that is accomplished through war.

    Yes, the Darfur myth perpetuates the “violent Arab Darkies” hoax too. And Israeli propogandists definitely help spread the whole campaign in their newspapers and television outfits. And justifying killing by claiming to protect against genocide is also an Israeli propoganda specialty.

    To me, the Darfur campaign was _obviously_ a huge manipulation of some kind. The prominent atrocity images, the crude focus on rape, the slick MTV advertising style — big clues in my eyes.

    You can reliably invert the claimed crisis in order to see the general purpose of the campaign, i.e., if the big US/Israeli/European newspapers claim that some violent thugs are murdering and raping people, you can be 99% sure that these same US/Israeli/European bully militarists are funding, arming, and entirely controlling the genocide perpetrators and the DELIBERATELY LYING that somebody else is doing it.

    The big spy-agency administrated right-wing conspiracy is the ONLY conspiracy there is. And (no surprise), it is the only conspiracy not permitted serious public scrutiny. And as you can see by the title of this blog entry, there is a vicious “snap-back” reaction to this simple and accurate truth.

    The core of the Darfur myth is that the violent conflict there is CAUSED by racial and religious conflict. This framework is the SAME perpetual-violence-between-races hoax that justified butchering Communist Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and currently in Iraq.

    In each case, the propoganda claims a “civil war” between races or tribes or religions, justifying military intervention and vilifying anti-imperialist popular movements in the country along with any socialist “non-aligned” country’s support.

    The overall, higher-level DELIBERATE LIE is that human beings are innately violent, and therefore these massive killings “just happen”.

    I also remember watching an interview with the Sudanese ambassador to the United States, and he was asked about Darfur, and he responded that he couldn’t understand the focus on that region, given the much deadlier wars that for decades have killed millions in surrounding countries. That was another clue that something fishy was going on.

    For some context on my nasty note to Esra’a — initially, I sent the email to the unidentified directors of darfur-awareness.org and several other related sites — an experimental propoganda offensive of my own.

    I figured, if these guys are for real, then someone will respond in protest and I will be able to discuss the matter with them. While, if they ARE paid disinformation agents, then it’ll be equivalent to justifiably spitting in their faces.

    I had no idea I would receive the opportunity to defend my accusation in public — that’s exactly what is needed and what, yes, excites me.

    Looks like Chairman Mao knew how to conduct ideological warfare.

    Is anybody else here courageous enough to publically disavow, or even question, the character assassination against me?

    P.S. Read and Listen for additional analysis.

  19. The overall, higher-level DELIBERATE LIE is that human beings are innately violent, and therefore these massive killings “just happen”.

    So it has nothing to do with human nature, nothing to do with historical conflicts within Sudan, but EVERYTHING to do with the nature of the U.S and Israeli leaders?

    I don’t buy that U.S and Israeli leaders are ‘innately violent’ and therefore allow these ‘massive killings.’ Depending on the culture, sometimes these mass killings do in fact just happen.

    I could buy interference, encouragement, and indirect intervention, but I will not buy that it’s all their fault and that they are secretly planning this behind their mysterious space ships. Let’s get real here.

    As for human nature, how would you explain the past, when Israel did not exist and when America was hardly a strong country, both financially and politically? There were mass killings back then, too, within the same regions. Israel and the US wasn’t there to secretly plan it or support it. There are genocides happening in the world in places that the U.S and Israel probably don’t even know exist. What are you saying, that they would sponsor every genocide in the world? What for?

    Is there framing done by these massive powers? Currently, maybe yes, and they may flame certain wars, I can buy that, but they are certainly not causing it. If we keep blaming the US and Israel for these things, we’d never realize the many faults that lie within our own societies. We’d be blaming the wrong “enemy” – our real enemies are in our backyards, you know. In most cases they are the very leaders. And even IF they are funded by the U.S, that doesn’t mean the U.S is the one that caused it or that is allowing it to continue. People end up wiping out each other, and it’s no one’s responsibility but ours to try and stop it.

    I also remember watching an interview with the Sudanese ambassador to the United States, and he was asked about Darfur, and he responded that he couldn’t understand the focus on that region, given the much deadlier wars that for decades have killed millions in surrounding countries. That was another clue that something fishy was going on.

    Any leader of this sort would obviously deny their own crimes. Have you ever seen a leader come out and say “yes there is something horrible going on in my country and the government I am serving is largely responsible for it”? No. Are you denying the importance of this genocide, or denying that it’s happening at all?!

    It surprises me that you are an American. It seems like you have a lot of hatred towards your government, and it’s not just the whiny type either but a real hatred and a lot of blame for them, things you can’t really back up, so far these are all “fishy things” and “assumptions.” Hardly any proven, indisputable facts.

  20. Also, why was your first accusation is that we are a CIA-funded initiative, can you justify that somehow? Do you know any other campaigns, similar or otherwise, that are funded by the CIA? I’m curious to know. Especially if it has to do with either Africa or the Middle East.

  21. You fool, Esra’a is not the CIA agent, I am. Get the fucking facts right.

  22. Lucy, an ape-like human, 3,000,000 years ago, walked upright.

    Human beings 100,000 years ago, had the same biological, genetic make-up as we do, but without farming, remained in small, stable groups of 20-200 people.

    Human beings 10,000 years ago, had the first systematic agriculture (an idea), allowing 100,000s and millions of people in a civilization.

    Between 3,000,000 years ago, and 10,000 years ago, there were approximately 90,000 generations of human life (at 33 years / generation).

    The human species NEVER could have survived with the type and magnitude of violence we have seen for the last 10,000 years — especially not the capital-coupled ferocity since the Great “War” in the last 100 years.

    How and why did they live without violence before 10,000 years ago, but not after?

    Because in groups of 20-200, 99% of human history, everyone was in daily proximity with everyone else,
    the leaders of the tribe could not possibly deliberately misreport their perception, could not LIE, because the lower and higher levels of the tribe’s hierarchy all knew what everyone else was doing.

    Therefore nobody even tried to lie, you just couldn’t do it, so nobody did it.

    Once you had the surplus protection with systematic agriculture 10,000 years ago, and then 1,000s and 1,000,000s of people in a society, THEN there was a separation between the leaders and the people, between the ruling class and everybody else.

    Then, when a harm-producing situation happened, rather than figuring out who and what was responsible for the problem and then curing it for all time (ONLY possible with accurate reports of perception), a small percentage of the population in the leadership tragically and terribly decided to deliberately misreport what they understand in order to maintain the vitality and protection that a high place in a hierarchy brings.

    So instead of getting fixed, the harm problem only got worse, and instead of getting used to cure the problem, the protections/attention/truth passed up the hierarchy was siphoned off through lying, consumed, and destroyed.

    Once this extinction-producing process was set in motion, the magnitude of the killing and violence that resulted depended on the material level of development, culminating in the catastrophe of capitalist commodity production (the material embodiment of deception over value) and then the biggest mass exterminations of the threatening communist working masses in World Wars I, II, Vietnam, Indonesia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

    After FDR died, and Hiroshima Harry began the 50 year war with the USSR, high-level Nazis took control of the ruling classes of the United States and Israel.

    Besides the small liberal pushes under the Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton administrations here in the United States, it has been Nazi rule up until today, with the latest, biggest coup amplification on 9/11 and the Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran continuations.

    You question, Esra’a, of “What for?” is right on. Why do these psychopathic liar murderers kill us off so consistently?

    The mechanism for hard-wiring a naturally caretaking human being into a violent and deceptive Nazi is child abuse. Whether the rapes behind the comfortable front doors of the bourgeoisie, or the torture training that military conscripts suffer.

    The solution is the public consideration of the Paradigm from California, a mathematics system for social calculation created in a San Francisco high-school in 1984.

    While your instinct with the government official is sound, from what I recall, the ambassador was a genuine, principled caretaker actually astonished at the confused focus on Darfur in his country.

    I mentioned it in the spirit of making overt all the elements of my conclusion — I could be wrong on that low-level piece of information — he could have been a standard lying robot for a corrupt regime, I’d have to find and watch it again.

    Presuming that bourgeois national governments under the umbrella of imperialism have much decision-making power is a mistake. Sure, the local killing thugs can decide which peasants to shoot — but they cannot decide to organize cooperative autonomy that overtly opposes imperialism.

    In fact, it is precisely such successful socialist / communist / popular political groups that are the primary targets of Nazis and bullies for the last 10,000 years.

    ALL the lower-level national dictatorships follow the higher level violence of US/Israeli imperalism. When the big killing is decided to be “on”, then it’s a leftist crackdown everywhere on Earth, and bullies at EVERY level of society — from this blog up to the CIA/Mossad gain power.

    And you better just shut up about it, otherwise you’ll lose your job, your family, your maps of protection (i.e. your sanity), or worse.

    My anger grows beyond merely puppet leaders of the bourgeoisie, to every single person everywhere, living or dead, who ever deliberately lies about what they understand or perceive.

    That anger is pain seeking solution. Only when it is directed at the actual people and behaviors that are the problem will solution be advanced and created.

    Get pissed at the phantom racist darky crazy boogie men genociders that the US/Israeli “Save Darfur” imperialist propoganda campaign evokes and everything will continue to get worse.

    Fact. Disputable, yes, and yet still absolute, same-for-everyone, constant-for-all time fact.

  23. As to my accusation of CIA funding for http://www.darfur-awareness.org, which accusation was made in a private email to unknown/unspecified parties who (unbeknownst to me at the time) happened to by Esra’a, was I wrong?

    IF the description that I made above about how the whole campaign about Darfur on this blog and in the newspapers is a colossal hoax to justify US/UN military intervention into Sudan and vilify China while attacking their oil reserves is accurate, THEN the deliberate lies that are presented as valuable, accurate information on the website WERE actually, orginally funded for creation by the CIA.

    But is Esra’a a CIA agent for publically distributing lies that were funded for creation by the CIA?

    That depends on whether Esra’a knows that the lies darfur-awareness.org is legitimating are actually lies, or whether she (?) is mistaken in thinking that the CIA-funded lies are actually accurate reports of some crisis in the Sudan which the CIA has not directly funded.

    My guess — and I could be wrong — is that Esra’a is NOT a CIA agent, and that she has been duped into the prevailing bourgeois propoganda trap.

    To that extent, if I am right about Esra’a, my original e-mail was inaccurate.

    Now what Esra’a does from here is decisive. Deceitfully claim that she still thinks the Darfur campaign is just a feel-good grassroots movement against some crazy killing Sudanese? No, don’t do that! Just stay silent, and hope nobody looks at these comments very closely? Censor this latest comment and delete the others out of terror at the growing awareness of her own unwitting complicity in the covert war on Sudan? Perhaps.

    Publically retract her description of me as “mentally invalid”? No, almost nobody is that principled anymore.

  24. The purpose of the Darfur myth is to cover for US/UN

    In fact this whole mideastyouth blog is just another hollywood production written by government agents with the goal to reveal the Columbus plot – because Columbus never had detected America – he just made it up, because he didn’t wanted to admit that he didn’t find India & of course America & USA don’t even exist – it’s all a big media lie done by the aliens reptile conspiration –with secret underground command & media delusion centres in the Ukraine, Northern Scotland & the Bavaria Hall in Munich. – The truth is, that the water of the Atlantic ocean falls into a big abyss some 100 miles behind Great Britain there at the end of the world , a fact that only very clever persons know, who avoid to to get cheated by the lies, they got taught in school or by any media or history booksl. – the big lie that USA exists is only made up as a kind of bogey man & scapegoat to make us Europeans; Asians & Africans behave well. (& of course also Australia doesn’t exist)
    & I’m not quite sure wether Jina is the CIA agent or Esra’a – I think Jina is the counter agent of an alien government – & Howie is apparently an counter-counter agent of Switzerland (as far as I found out)
    But the real truth behind the truth is that all the characters in this blog (plot) are invented & written by the ingeniious computer programm ‘AZARBUS’ – invented 1964 by the Austrian bio-digital physician ‘Albert Wutzeltupf’ – - AZARBUS analyses fed by old knowledge of hordes of scientists following the Wutzeltupfian scheme logic, filled with millions of language patterns give the perfectly right response to your comment & answers it according to the logic & sanity of your input , as you see in this output, dear Christian Pecaut.

  25. But is Esra’a a CIA agent for publically distributing lies that were funded for creation by the CIA?

    Yes, you got me! Who here scanned my business card? I WARNED YOU.

    In fact this whole mideastyouth blog is just another hollywood production written by government agents with the goal to reveal the Columbus plot – because Columbus never had detected America – he just made it up,

    Oh my God, this entire thing is backfiring. We’re destroyed.

    JINA, HELP! WE’RE BUSTED.

  26. So let me get this straight … Christian Pecaut, a westernized male of European ancestry who went to an elite private university has come to a forum for semitic peoples, tells them they (unlike him) exist outside the realm of free will because they are dupes and being controlled, or are informants for imperialists; and that he knows much better than they do about the internal workings, and historic community relations of their region because he is wiser about such matters so of course they should believe his unproved theories on face value; but he himself is not condescending, nor does he display the exact same racist, supremacist, colonialist mindset that has been perpetuated against Middle Eastern peoples for … ever?

    So glad we got that cleared up. OK. The Jews did it. What else is new? Let’s eat.

  27. All your mockery ignores the fact that I clearly explained that I do NOT think Esra’a is directly paid by the CIA — but mistakenly hocks CIA-funded lies.

    It does smokescreen all the political analysis by changing the topic, however.

    Don’t worry — all those people who look up to you will probably just ignore what I write and laugh at your jokes. You’re in the clear. Reputation secured.

    Relying on the “It’s all a joke!” anti-argument works like a charm on a jaded, complacent bourgeoisie.

    Answer me comprehensively, as I have for almost all your questions and accusations.

    You won’t because you can’t, so “It’s all a joke!”. Archetype Corporate Imbecile Agency fare.

  28. PV: You are right about my ethnicity and my education.

    And it is from the most corrupt classes that most of the best leftist theoreticians and revolutionaries originate.

    They are the only ones NOT worked into numb ignorance, with the protection for figuring out a precise political plan or leftist scientific analysis.

    So, no contradiction there.

    But 99% of these rich kids just parrot whatever the television says and serve whatever sector of capitalism they are assigned to. Such bad choices, however, are not inevitable — but, what I call a “strongly-self-perpetuating-but-not-completely-so” homeostasis — only made possible by specific techniques of deception and coercion that the progressive bourgeois inaccurately thinks she understands and avoids.

    Working classes know that they are getting screwed over, but generally don’t have enough room to see beyond their own landlord and boss.

    Without an accurate picture of the high-level political context you are within — i.e. the US/Israeli imperialism propaganda net — the low-level observations of an inhabitant of a oppressed or oppressor nation will NEVER add up to accurate conclusions.

    If you don’t understand why who is feeding your what propaganda, then you will be unconsciously swayed into assenting to the covert intention of the propogandist. For example, de Waal’s demand for “American leadership” in Sudan — which, since Esra’a has not argued otherwise, I presume he agrees with?

    Then that whole “200,000 Raped and Dead” scare graphic ends up supporting US military intervention, while appearing (even to the good-intentioned creators!) as a noble gesture on behalf of the oppressed.

    Outside of a leftist political program confronting the entire system of imperialism, of which the troubles in Sudan are only a part, the best political goals a bourgeois liberal can muster are the same empty abstractions “freedom”, “equality”, “tolerance”, “peace”, that the military fascists cover up their slaughters with.

    Are there any other serious suggestions as to how to help the people in Darfur? There is none.

    The same-for-everyone truth exists independently of your race, class, gender, nationality, or birthplace.

    It is on the basis of same-for-everyone accuracy to the truth itself that I ask others to evaluate my theories.

    I refer you here, where I carefully distinguish between Nazis who pose as Jews, Jews who meekly obey Nazi leaders posing as Jews, and the principled Jews over the last 5000 years who are courageous truth finders with solving human intelligence.

    I know it gets tricky when the Nazis posing as Jews pay 1000s of people and 100s of newspapers to yell “Anti-Semite!” whenever the right-wingers in the Israeli ruling class is accurately identified as violent, consciously deceiving killers — and it is easier to “make money” when you don’t bother yourself about contradicting what the big violence bosses say — but the distinction isn’t THAT difficult to keep in your mind.

    Ya’ll gonna hafta do better than calling me a racist and a kook to refute my arguments. But, again, don’t worry, no one reads these comments that closely anyway. They’ll believe whatever you say.

    And even if they don’t — you have the power to just delete my annoying accuracies. That’s the only kind of “truth” bully idiots can muster on their own.

    Not that I want you to, or that you must, but in my experience, most people who pride themselves on their political intelligence get very threatened when their hard work and advice (darfur-awareness.org) is clearly shown to be a hollow schizoid mouthpiece for murderers, even if they were just mistaken and not deliberately harmful.

  32. My wife once worked for relatives of Neil Miller, who with imaginine has captivated Christian Pecaut. I think it speaks to the power of ideas, that even largely empty ones can have such seductive gravities. It is indeed curious how the mind of man can be enthralled, as much and as fiercely by error as by truth, and that sometimes it is very difficult to know whether you are a slave to something wrong or to something sublime. The characteristics of such attraction are the same, whatever one claims is the truth. The really odd thing is the great divide, how vast the chasm can be between people who claim to be in service to the truth. Calling Christian crazy is your truth, his being crazy is his, the only thing one can say about the paradox is the ferocity of the diatribe about it, how sure everybody involved is, about what they see as the blindness of the other guy.
