Nuremberg <strong>to</strong> let go of the principal enemy who financed the destruction of entire Europe and<br />

of the British Empire itself – with agreement from all the Allied military high command and their<br />

governments (with only Russia dissenting)? No, you did not read that in his<strong>to</strong>ry books did you,<br />

nor did you hear Noam Chomsky talk about the inconvenient case of Hjalmar Schacht even<br />

when he waxes eloquence about vic<strong>to</strong>r's justice at Nuremberg by highlighting the case of<br />

Admiral Karl Dönitz, and evidently, nor did you hear Mr. Jeffrey Blankfort bring it up in all his<br />

dissent-ing critique of Noam Chomsky.<br />

I get really confused when I encounter such blind-sighted omissions regarding the King of the<br />

Jews among the moral Jews who become dissent-chiefs for the dumb goy, and book-end their<br />

own dissent so wonderfully while still giving the illusion of vigorous debate. Chomsky explains<br />

this Machiavellian construction rather elegantly even as he implements it himself with<br />

involuntary help from his own antagonist, Jeff Blankfort, and the goyem cheer for their favorite<br />

horse – don't matter which horse wins, the real winners are those who benefit from the<br />

calculated omissions, the race course owners:<br />

‘This “debate” is a typical illustration of a primary principle of sophisticated<br />

propaganda. In crude and brutal societies, the Party Line is publicly proclaimed<br />

and must be obeyed — or else. What you actually believe is your own business<br />

and of far less concern. In societies where the state has lost the capacity <strong>to</strong><br />

control by force, the Party Line is simply presupposed; then, vigorous debate is<br />

encouraged within the limits imposed by unstated doctrinal orthodoxy. <strong>The</strong><br />

cruder of the two systems leads, naturally enough, <strong>to</strong> disbelief; the sophisticated<br />

variant gives an impression of openness and freedom, and so far more<br />

effectively serves <strong>to</strong> instill the Party Line. It becomes beyond question, beyond<br />

thought itself, like the air we breathe.’<br />

‘Democratic societies use a different method: they don’t articulate the party line.<br />

That’s a mistake. What they do is presuppose it, then encourage vigorous<br />

debate within the framework of the party line. This serves two purposes. For<br />

one thing it gives the impression of a free and open society because, after all,<br />

we have lively debate. It also instills a propaganda line that becomes something<br />

you presuppose, like the air you breathe.’<br />

‘<strong>The</strong> smart way <strong>to</strong> keep people passive and obedient is <strong>to</strong> strictly limit the<br />

spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum<br />
