Editor's Notes
- It’s a virus.
- It is normal to wonder about the existence of an “After-Life”. It is also normal to “learn from experience” drawing conclusions.
- A person’s reaction to your message is the result of both rational thinking and the beliefs (or memes) that live in their brains. Like bacteria in the human body they can be beneficial or harmful. The concept of life after death is an example of a meme that has lived in the brains of human beings because the meme was communicated and spread from one mind to another.
- Just as viruses spread, beliefs, ideas, and notions can also spread, Successful beliefs are replicated as they proliferate through a population, in effect spreading copies of themselves from one brain to millions of other brains. Replicating beliefs that spread throughout a human population have been called “brain viruses” or “memes’. Meme is derived from Greek meaning “to imitate or mime”.
- Democracy is a belief system built of a set of memes Memeplex!! Cigarettes ghosts
- our minds get hit with memes and clusters of associated memes Belief systems
- It’s a virus.
- YIISA …this should be easy
- I could easily do a paper on antisemitism in cartoons.
- For more than forty years “ For more than forty years I have been putting ideas into people’s heads. It’s what I do. I’m a political cartoonist. showing “the truth”, others as “expressing our opinion” but the fact is that what we do is to attempt to put our own ideas into other people’s heads … and we use cartoons to do it .
- A Herblock cartoon about Nixon The power of an image to defy censorship by defense mechanisms. people close their eyes at really gruesome scenes in films. Intense Focus on Israel favorite topics for editorial cartoonists. Inevitably, when a portion of the cartoonist’s readership cries “Antisemitism”, the cartoonist attacks his critics as “right-wing defenders of Israel” … and defends his work as a valid political statement.
- The rich and extensive use of Antisemitic cartoons by the Nazis as part of their strategies in the prelude to the Holocaust gives today’s debate an added importance and, perhaps, urgency. It is in light of the extensive use of Antisemitic cartoons by the Nazis that I undertook, Click both as a fellow of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism and as a political cartoonist dedicated to freedom of expression, to address the contemporary controversy and to examine the question of how to distinguish between valid political commentary and Antisemitism in contemporary political cartoons.
- The plan was to first gather every antisemitic looking cartoon we could get our hands on. A depressingly easy task on the Internet. We soon had more than 500 typically offensive samples. The next job was to categorize them.
- 1890 cartoon Jews as spiders Not really human beings, but disgusting creatures
- 1900 Blood Suckers They do disgusting, evil things.
- the Dehumanizing Family of codes is made of two strains. One is Demonizing (What Jews Do) and the other Zoomorphic (What Jews are) The dehumanizing family is made up of Demonizing and Zoomorphic codes.
- Here’s another Demonizing Code The Baby Eaters code And another Zoomorphic code
- Here are the 17 message codes I’ve isolated in the Dehumanizing Family Dehumanizing codes answer the question of “Who are the Jews?” in such a way as to deprive Jews of the empathy normally felt for human beings. Dehumanizing codes depict Jews as being demonic vampires and vermin. Let’s take a look at one of the codes you’re probably not familiar with. The Devouring Mouth code
- The devouring mouth code
- Dehumanizing codes answer the question of “Who are the Jews?” The second family, stereotyping , portrays Jews as rich, ugly, Hook-nosed, money-grubbing, powerful, and secretly controllers of the Banks, the Media, and the World. These memes resonate with existing Antisemitism in the minds of potential host populations. Combined, the two families teach that Jews are rich, demonic, powerful and enemies of the social order.
- The Jews and their international sub human conspiracy threatens humanity. All nations are victims of this all powerful creature!
- It’s a virus.
- We all know what biological viruses are
- A computer virus is a software program. The word “virus” is derived from ‘viral’ because of a virus’s shared characteristic with all other viral entities; the ability to replicate or reproduce itself. “Computer viruses” spread copies of themselves from one computer to millions of other computers.
- It blinds the host to the other actions of the virus spreading entity. Gays, women, christians against their own regionalinterests.
- The codes are used to divert the media, click!. and infect governments with fear of click!. and anger at Jews.
- To mesmerize the public
- With horrifying images of the actions of the Jews
- To blind the world to reality
- To freeze all attention on the powerful Jew-Monster that will victimize them.
- It’s a virus.
- The Holocaust forced the codes to evolve “ Holocaust-Resistant” strain
- Moral Inversion codes The new codes carry memes including “The Jews are acting like Nazis”, “The Jews perpetrated a Holocaust”, “The Jews operate an Auschwitz-type death camp”, “The piles of skeletal victims are not Jewish but rather the victims of Jews”, and “The Jews are Nazis”. These new and infectious “Holocaust-Resistant” codes are here after collectively referred to as “Moral Inversion” codes. politically correct, Moral Inversion codes are easily swallowed, readily believed, and increasingly part of accepted wisdom
- The Jews are the Nazis The Jews are guilty of Nazi Atrocities. Jews set up Concentration Camps Jews kill Babies in their Mothers’ Arms
- In a search of more than 500 cartoons we discovered the presence of distinct codes, each carrying a viral and antisemitic libel. And every one into one of 3 distinct code families.
- The Moral Inversion codes are new, fresh, and rapidly spreading their memes. Moral Inversion has taken its place along side the two earlier Pre-Holocaust families of codes. The Holocaust-resistant codes do not deny the Nazi Death Camps or the Holocaust. They simply repackage the horror by “inverting” it. Jews are presented as the perpetrators rather than the victims .
- It’s a virus.
- the term antisemitism was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred") and that has been its normal use since then
- The virus today
- I propose To protect itself western civilization needs to see the problem is one of Disease control
- And the procedures for disease control Are the same for Contagious Human viruses Destructive Computer viruses And Dangerous Cultural viruses Louis Pasteur These are the tasks that face our civilization If it is to prevent this viral attack on its freedoms.
- But the ascendancy of the Moral Inversion codes has not erased the pre holocaust codes. Let’s take a look at how codes survive through time, language, culture Scavenger carrion-eating birds Nazi Soviet contemporary
- This meat-eating bird code has not survived in contemporary American cartoons but… Turkish Iranian South Africa China Indonesia Iran
- This is the money-loving Jews code Nazi Soviet Contemporary from the PA They all user the money sack icon
- American cartoonists can be more creative about the money-loving-Jew code This is the work of Dick Locher Chicago Tribune, May 30, 2003 The NOSE!!

The series, "Distant Countries and Neighboring Countries" in English translation, has sold more than 10 million copies. translation: To sum it up, American public debate belongs to the Jews and it's no exaggeration to say that it (US media) is the voice of the Jews.
