LEO-STRAUSS FATHER OF THE NEOCONS

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PHILOSOPHER KINGS

William Pfaff of the International Herald Tribune writes in “The long reach of Leo Strauss Neoconservatives”

There are those who say Neo-cons first arrived on the scene in the early 70’s with, as some would call him, “the godfather of neo-cons,” Leo Strauss, a Jewish German born fascist. As Jeffrey Steinberg writes in an article entitled “Profile: Leo Strauss, Fascist Godfather of the Neo-Cons”.

Pfaff stresses that it is important to understand the philosophy of Strauss, "because his followers contro US Foreign Policy."

“The hallmark of Strauss' approach to philosophy was his hatred of the modern world, his belief in a totalitarian system, run by "philosophers," who rejected all universal principles of natural law, but saw their mission as absolute rulers, who lied and deceived a foolish "populist" mass, and used both religion and politics as a means of disseminating myths that kept the general population in clueless servitude.

For Strauss and all of his protégés (Strauss personally had 100 Ph.D. students, and the "Straussians" now dominate most university political science and philosophy departments), the greatest object of hatred was the United States itself, which they viewed as nothing better than a weak, pathetic replay of "liberal democratic" Weimar Germany. (Emphasis added)


It was this perceived weakness of America’s excesses and lack of military projection that drove this early band of Jewish liberals to add the prefix “neo” to conservative to reflect their arrogant ideological thinking that called for the use of American military superiority to democratize the world though lies and deceit of the masses for their political objective.

This philosophy of deception is one of the critical elements of neoconservative thought.

Good post Denmark.
These guys are real scum.

All their crap is based on their own sociological concepts, and the stuff they retreaded from the middle east.

Nasty nasty stuff.

What's scary Skip,

Is the so-called "educated" Americans completely oblivious to these men or conditioned to dismiss their existence and modus operandi as a "conspiracy theory".

They are strictly 'real world'.
Just tune into Fox, and listen, or A.B.C. or N.B.C.-- They, and their friends run the media.

Mostly they are Jews, but there is also a big smattering of 'born again's also.
Those are the ones like Cheney and Bush, and others.
You have to wonder also about Obama, the Clinton's, etc, in other words the Democrats.
While they may not embrace these Neo-Cons exactly, there is a lot of overlap in their personal philosophy`s.
Military/Industrial/Congressional complex.
Special Interest Belief, and Political groups run the show as far as Politics.
Disaster is coming.

You can say that again, DV. The "educated" have no idea.

While the Jews were Johnny come lately`s in the middle east (about 1300BC and then 800 or 900BC before they settled in Canaan)They learned most of their philosophy from the Babylonians and then spun it a bit differently. Yahwa is thought by many historians to be a spinoff of a war Jupiter god from the host of Babylonian gods and connected also with baal the storm god of Canaan.

The original herding group is thought to have been from around the mount Se`er area below the dead sea, to the east, and the Yahwa name actually a place name.

Some of their bullshit is fun and interesting, some of it is hate mongering at its best.

It is wholly ignorant to base much of any thing from a group that thought of itself as god`s vehicle of salvation for the culmination of the history of the world through the 'house of David'. Ha ha.

An ironic aspect... If it had not been for the Iranians (Cyrus) the 'Jews' as a group probably would not even be around any more.
He recreated Jerusalem as a buffer state between Persia and Egypt.

It was all politics and bullshit connected, just as it is today.

The modern Neocons have their own special brand of disinformation and control.
Nasty group. Really a hate group.
Just hate in general.
Not intelligent.

Neocons are modern-day Pharisees. It's that simple - there is nothing more to it.

You've GOT to be joking? There's a WHOLE LOT MORE to it than that!

so-called "educated" Americans completely oblivious to these men or conditioned to dismiss their existence and modus operandi as a "conspiracy theory".

The really scary part to me is that this chitchat posits these neocons, who are actually only the public face of an underlying formation within the U.S. establishment as a proxy for that formation within the establishment - without ever seeking to identify, much less hold that underlying elite formation accountable!

It's equivalent to demonizing James Watson for the chindribble that leaked out of his cake hole a month and a half ago. Notice that few outside yours truly even bothered to point at the cabal in plain sight that has underwritten and supported his unsavory pov for years. No one is holding - or would even consider for that matter - holding these folks accountable.

Exactly like the Nazi's. Only the public face of the reich was tried for war crimes. The corporate backers and primary beneficiaries were left intact and unscathed. So also with the academic, political, and media designees of what's called neo-conservatism in America.

That's why this stank shyte keeps popping up like weeds, because folks are too casual or too timid to even identify, much less strike the root.

"without ever seeking to identify, much less hold that underlying elite formation accountable!"

Basically these are only people playing by the current Rules of the Game in our Price System.

It does no good to make them out as and elite or a hidden group or whatever.

Until and unless we change systems these criminal groups will continue ruling us through our Price System.

Technocracy does not allow special interest groups.

rotflmbao..., "technocracy" does not exist outside your imagination.

One of the young heads on a private international listserve with a few thousand members that I co-moderate brought up Technocracy a few weeks ago.

Based on nothing more than my arm's length exposure to you here at DV's - I committed your "movement" to the collective circular file with a few keystrokes.

AFAIC - technocracy is a stuck together pair of pages of a comic book that you - and only you - own or care about.

Listen dumb fuck. Get a life. I am not impressed with your horse shit and anti-intellectual attitude.

You seem/are a mental twerp.

So fuck off dumb ass.

That being you cnulun, no nothing, but sociological bullshit, and not so very interesting bullshit at that. Ha ha.
If you 'co moderate' any thing I have no doubt your as big a boor there as you are here.
