Anti-Semitism on the planet Neptune


Vincent J. Curtis

The Hanon People's Daily published another communique from the planet Neptune.  The words "White Supremacism" were repeated so often, you had to wonder if they were magical incantations.  Alas, they weren't.  But the writer did manage to slag Steven Miller as that, a Nazi, and a fascist, to boot.  Given the column appeared with a 30 year old photo, these columns could become a regular feature.

“Neptune to Green Acres, Neptune to Green Acres, come in, Green Acres. Over.”

Thus began the latest transmission from the planet Neptune to the Hanon People’s Daily, a once-great metropolitan newspaper that has fallen on hard times.  Its correspondent, a retired professor of Neptune-studies, is communicating the latest horror story from deep in outer space.

The correspondent seems to think that repetition of the expression “white supremacist” is going to convince those on earth of the truth of his assertions.  As Josef Goebbels once observed, a monstrous lie stuns the listener and if the lie is repeated often enough it becomes the equivalent of the truth.  Nevertheless, the perceptive do observe the ugliness of anti-Semitism in the communique in the comparison of a Jew to Nazis and fascists.

Another profound contradiction, so obvious it may escape attention, is that the correspondent who find white supremacism so wrong is himself a white elitist.  If the correspondent believed what he said, he would surrender his place to a woman of colour, but he doesn’t.

The correspondent is exempt from the ramifications of his own ideology.

Moreover, anybody familiar with the people he is speaking ill of knows the falsity of the accusations leveled by the special white guy.  Perhaps he thinks he raises the morale of the losers who believe him by slandering the people more successful than they..
