Refuting Alex Constantine Again Part II

By Benyamin Solomon
I just finished part I of my third response to Alex Constantine. Now, I will focus on Alex's other points
For here's extra information.
Alex Constantine claims to have been tortured by the America government Alex said:
For five years I have been the victim of a formal torture program at the hands of the CIA. The torture is electromagnetic and difficult to trace, retaliation for my political research. . . . I have been subjected to a gruelling daily regimen of torture rendered from a remote source. I have been burned by microwaves, kept awake for days at a stretch by shrieking noises in my ears, the effect of pulsed audiograms. One evening I was hit by an infra-sound attack . . . on my spine, the most painful experience of my life. I was left crawling and screaming across the floor. For die-hard skeptics, I can offer this proof: Two of the leading child psychologists in the country once witnessed magnets repelled from my cranium. When I wrote a letter to Amnesty International about my plight (it was ignored), friends of mind [sic] were subjected to microwave attack. . . .
Someone who saw Alex make that claim said that he's simply a kook. He's worse than "Prophet Yahweh," who claims to be able to summon UFOs through reciting verses in the Hebrew bible. They both make up stories and make false unsupported bizarre claims.
According to a former associate of Alex Constantine, he is a kook who took a lot of drugs. His former associate said:
More stuff on Dan Rightmyer - the kook known as pen name Alex Constantine 
[ This is a repost of the following article:                               ] 
[ From: "MC" <mcan...@instanet.com>                                        ] 
[ Subject: Dan, Dan the ACID man                                           ] 
[ Newsgroups: sci.psychology.psychotherapy                                 ] 
[ Message-ID: <7cdhte$l4...@remarQ.com>                                    ] 
I've responded adequately to Dan Rightmyer and his silly billy pal Brian in 
another recent thread. But there is something else you good folks really 
ought to know about Dan "Alex ConstantWhine" Rightmyer. 
(Sung to the tune of the "Beverly Hillbillies" theme...) 
Come and listen to my story 'bout a nut named Dan 
Hears voices in his head he says are from "The Man." 
He says "They filled my noggin full of electronic bugs!" 
But he doesn't let you know that he's done a lot of DRUGS. 
(ACID, that is. LSD. "Hundreds of trips.") 
"Hundreds of acid trips" is the admission Dan made to his former best 
friend, S.M. Any reasonable person who wants the full story should feel free 
to write me or call me. I'll tell ya how to talk to this former best friend 
for yourself -- you'll hear all sorts of outrageous, hilarious stories about 
Dan's history of massive drug abuse, as well his insane behavior. 
(Here's a sample: Once, one of Dan's inner "tormentors" identified himself 
by name. Dan found that a gentleman of this name was listed in the phone 
book. Dan, who owned a firearm, thretened to go to the house of this 
obviously-innocent party and shoot him!) *
"Alex" believes his opponents are fascist and/or CIA agents. Alexconstantine.com said:
Adding insult to injury, unthinking critics have made fun of Alex’s suffering. One of these is a former associate of Alex’s named Martin Cannon. [Is Cannon a CIA agent?]
The answer is no. He's not a CIA agent. He is simply challenging Alex, which is what gets "Alex" and/or his supporters call them CIA agents and/or fascists. 
"Alex" is a leading member of the 9/11 ''truth'' movement, which spreads the false conspiracy theory that it was the American government that committed the 9/11 attacks. 
Right after the title part "Resisting Islamo-fascism Awareness Week," it says to " confront the Horowitz fascists." This is a classic example of "Alex's'' blog post here falsely labeling his opponent fascist without any evidence. To be fair, it was an article that Alex cut and pasted on to his blog. Horowitz and his supporters are not fascist. They seek to expose Islamo-fascism and leftist denial of this threat. In "Alex's" article, I had a search of fascist up. It appears 22 times. The article said:
This October 22-26, America’s fascists will attempt to make a further major step in this repressive process. They have declared an “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.” They are planning programs and protests at over 100 campuses, supposedly against the oppression of women under Islam and “the threat posed by the Islamic crusade against the West.” In fact, their aim is to rally people behind the U.S. “crusade” against the people of the world and to shut down dissent against this crusade on the campus and, by extension, more broadly throughout society.
"Alex's" blog here again, calls his opponents fascist without giving any evidence. Islamo-fascism awareness Week was not organized by fascists. It's an anti-fascist campaign. It exposes Islamo-fascism and leftist denial about the Islamist threat. Islamo-fascism Awareness Week seeks to spread the basic ideas of freedom and democracy into the Middle East and to stop Islamist infiltration of the world. It seeks to fight Islamist influence on campus and bring out the pro-American, pro-Israel and conservative viewpoints.
It seeks to protect both Muslims and non-Muslims alike from Islamo-fascism. Islamo-fascism Awareness Weak should be praised.
"Alex" said:
Horowitz is threatening to go after “the anti-American curriculum of the tenured left” and to “teach an alternative curriculum that will arm America against the radical Jihad.” In fact, Horowitz has already led attacks on professors like Ward Churchill, known mainly for his work on exposing the U.S. genocide against Native Americans, and Norman Finkelstein, known mainly for his exposure of Israel’s crimes and its hypocritical use of the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews to justify those crimes.
Both Ward Churchill and Norman Finklestein are terrorist supporters. This is a storng label. But it is true. 
Ward Churchill compares 9/11 victims to Nazis. Churchill actually supports the 9/11 attacks, while most the world condemned this barberic terrorist attack on our great nation. Churchill said in his essay:

 There is simply no argument to be made that the Pentagon personnel killed on September 11 fill that bill. The building and those inside comprised military targets, pure and simple. As to those in the World Trade Center . . . 
 
 Well, really. Let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire – the "mighty engine of profit" to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Recourse to "ignorance" – a derivative, after all, of the word "ignore" – counts as less than an excuse among this relatively well-educated elite. To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in – and in many cases excelling at – it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it. 



Decent people found this horrible abhorrent remark to be offensive [especially the part where Ward Churchill calls 9/11 victims "little Eichmmann"] . Churchill compared more than three thousands innocent people in this great nation America, who were killed by Al Quada barbarians for being "infidels," to Nazis.
Who's Norman Finklestein. He's publicly a supporter of Hezbollah, which killed the most Americans before Al Quada. The 9/11 commission found that Hezobllah and Iran have ties to Al Quada. Hezbollah seeks the destruction of the state of Israel and the creation of an expansionist Islamist state in Lebanon. Finklestein said in the Lebanese TV station Future TV:
I was of course happy to meet the Hezbollah people because it is point of view rearly heard in the United States. And I have no problem saying that I do want to express solidarity with them, and I'm not going to be a coward and a hypocrite about it.
Mr. Finklestein goes on saying that he doesn't know nor does he care about Hezbollah as a political organization. Mr. Finklestein, Hezbollah's vision of Lebanon is anti-democratic and is the same expansionist Islamist state as Iran. He rudely disrupts and shouts at his interviewer, who doesn't come out in favor of Hezbollah [though I disagree with her with what Hezbollah was in 2000 for I consider Hezbollah as a radical Islamist terrorist organization since its founding by the terrorist regime in Iran]. Hezbollah used terrorism on innocent civilians since day one.  Finkelstein said that "there is no question among rational people that Israel was never going to let the Hezbollah victory go by.''
That's correct Norman because a Hezbollah victory includes the elimination of Israel and the Islamization of Lebanon and the rest of the world. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said:
But world opinion should know that Islamic conquest is not the same as conquests by other rulers of the world.... [Non-Islamic] conquerors want to rule the world so that they 
can spread through it every injustice and sexual indecency, whereas Islam wants to conquer the world in order to promote spiritual values, and to prepare mankind for 
justice and Divine rule..


Finklestein said:
If Hezbollah laid down its arms, and said,"We will do whatever the Americans say," you wouldn't have a war, that's true, but you would also be the slaves of the Americans. I have to respect those who refuse to be slaves.

Finklestein said that there is no other way than military resistance unless the Lebanese [Finklestein said many Lebanese chose to be "their" slaves] chose to be slaves. That's the biggest piece of garbage there is. Neither America nor Israel want to enslave Lebanon. If Hezbollah disarms like what America, Israel, the UN and the international community call it to do, then the Lebanese people wouldn't be slaves of America or Israel. It would help bring peace to Israel and Lebanon. Hezbollah wanted the Lebanese people to be "slaves" of the Syrian occupiers, Finklestein. 
Unlike Israel and America, Syria refuses to recognize Lebanon's right to exist and occupied Lebanon, even controlling their political system, until 2005 [though Israel did occupy southern lebanon from 1978-2000 and the rest of Lebanon from 1982-1983, it wasn't to control Lebanon but to fight the terrorists in Lebanon who targeted Israeli civilians and fought to eliminate Israel]. Syria considers Lebanon as part of "greater Syria." Israel, on the other hand, doesn't want to control Lebanon and seeks to eliminate the terrorist threat from Lebanon.  When Syria occupied Lebanon, Hezbollah wasn't resisting Syria. Syria has [even when it was occupying Lebanon] gave their support to Hezbollah to unite against Israel and America. Finklestein, the anti-Israel and anti-American propagandist, even expressed bigotry against Arabs. Finklestein said:
You have no self-respect. How can you expect other people to respect Arabs, if you show no respect for yourselves.
Before he made that bigoted remark on Arabs, he falsely accused President Bush of destroying Lebanon and said that he should be declared persona non-grata there. Finklestein has this close-minded pro-Hezbollah mentality that if any Lebanese doesn't fight alongside Hezbollah terrorists, starting wars on Israel, then he/she would rather be a slave. As I pointed out:
 A. the Hezobllah embraced the Syrian occupiers. 
B. the Lebanese people especially the Christians, don't want to live under the Islamist state that Hezbollah is fighting for.
 Most Lebanese oppose Hezbollah and want peace with Israel and to return to the time before the Lebanese civil war, when Lebanon was a free democracy, in which Christians and Muslims coexisted, and when Lebanon's capital Beirut was known as "the Paris of the Middle East." Hezbollah is a major obstacle to that vision and opposes it. Most Lebanese don't want to start wars with Israel. That doesn't make them "slaves" or having "no self-respect." That just means they don't want to live under hezbollah's Islamo-fascist vision and that they don't want to start wars with or commit terrorist attacks on Israel. They don't seek to destroy Israel.
It's many Lebanese Christians, not Hezobllah, that fights for the freedom of Lebanon from bloodshed and wars. The Lebanese Christians don't want to be second-class dhimmis as they would be in the state Hezbollah and other Islamists fight for.
Most Lebanese understand that it was Hezbollah that started the war and dislike Hezbollah for that. Almost all Lebanese Christians oppose Hezbollah and its terrorist war on Israel. Even most Lebanese Sunnis and many Shiites oppose Hezbollah's terrorist attack and blame Hezobllah for provoking Israel to attack Lebanon [Hezbollah used  Lebanese civilians as human shields, while Israel only targeted Hezbollah, so when Israel strikes Hezbollah, it would hit civilians and would be a propaganda war on Israel]. The Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood is the only Sunni [the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood, along with the rest of the Muslim Brotherhood, is a radical Islamist organization] organization that supports and fought alongside Hezbollah against Israel in the July 2006 war on Israel. "Contrary to Western press reports, indicating high percentages of Christian support for Hezbollah, 90 percent of Christians, 80 percent of Sunni and 40 percent of Shiites in Lebanon oppose Hezbollah," said Sami El-Khoury who's president of the World Maronite Union.

After being attacked by Hezbollah supporters, many Lebanese said that they like Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert more than they like Hezbollah leader Hasan Narallah, who they spoke out against. Hasan Narallah said,"If the Jews gather in Israel, it would save us the trouble of going after them worldwide."
Amal Saad-Ghorayab even exposes Hezbollah as an anti-Semitic organization. On Al-Manur TV, Hezbollah's TV station, they present the blood-libel, the notorious anti-Semitic hoax made up in medival Christian Europe, as a fact.
Norman Finklestein supports Al Quada. He said:
Frankly, part of me says - even though everything since September 11 has been a nightmare--'you know what, we deserve the problem on our hands because some things Bin Laden says are true'. One of the things he said on that last tape was that 'until we live in security, you're not going to live in security', and there is a certain amount of rightness in that. 
Norman Finkelstein also praised the notorious Holocaust denier David Irving. Anne Applebaum said:
And now it turns out that I am not the only one who has been quietly irritated by the museum's existence. Norman Finkelstein, a professor at Columbia University in New York, has just published a book whose title reflects something a bit more robust than quiet irritation: The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering.
In it, Finkelstein argues not only that the Washington Holocaust museum is inappropriate, but that the majority of people who now claim to be Holocaust survivors are fakes; that the American Jewish institutions dedicated to squeezing compensation from European governments and industries are keeping most of the money for themselves; that David Irving is a nauseating man but a good historian; that the insistence on the Holocaust's uniqueness has suppressed rational discussion of the history of the events themselves.
Finkelstein said:
But Irving, notorious as an admirer of Hitler and sympathizer of German National Socialism, has nevertheless, as Gordon Craig points out, made an "indispensible'' contribution to our knowledge of WWII.
Yet these are the two guys "Alex" defends. He, along with 
Finkelstein, accuse Israel of using the Holocaust as a cover for Israel's "crimes." It's funny of "Alex" to accuse Israel of using the Holocaust as a cover for its so-called "crimes" while Alex calls his opponents fascists and Nazis all the time.
"Alex" and Finkelstein, Israel is defending herself. In fact, Israel has a school that teaches its soldiers and trains them to follow international law  and go after the terrorists with causing the least amount of harm on Palestinian civilians as possible. Israel even sends humanitarian soldiers to help Palestinian civilians at checkpoints, which are meant to make it easier for Israel to stop terrorists. The purity of arms, a section in the IDF doctrine, said:
The IDF serviceman will use force of arms only for the purpose of subduing the enemy to the necessary extent and will limit his use of force so as to prevent unnecessary harm to human life and limb, dignity and property.
The IDF servicemen's purity of arms is their self-control in use of armed force. They will use their arms only for the purpose of achieving their mission, without inflicting unnecessary injury to human life or limb; dignity or property, of both soldiers and civilians, with special consideration for the defenseless, whether in wartime, or during routine security operations, or in the absence of combat, or times of peace.
The following is the IDF code of conduct:


    1. Military action can only be taken against military targets.
    2. The use of force must be proportional.
    3. Soldiers may only use weaponry they were issued by the IDF.
    4. Anyone who surrenders cannot be attacked.
    5. Only those who are properly trained can interrogate prisoners.
    6. Soldiers must accord dignity and respect to the Palestinian population and those arrested.
    7. Soldiers must give appropriate medical care, when conditions allow, to oneself and one's enemy.
    8. Pillaging is absolutely and totally illegal.
    9. Soldiers must show proper respect for religious and cultural sites and artifacts.
    10. Soldiers must protect international aid workers, including their property and vehicles.
    11. Soldiers must report all violations of this code.
Israel only targets terrorists. Israel wants peace and security, not more territory. The claim that Israel uses the holocaust as a cover is a claim commonly made by anti-Semites including holocaust deniers. Israel mourns the holocaust because it is the Jewish state,  which was founded to be a haven for the Jewish people [Israel's non-Jewish Arab minority have equal rights to Israeli Jews and more rights than Arabs in the Arabs and Muslims in the Arab [and Muslim] states including Iran and the Palestinian Authority].
In fact, the US asked the Israelis to translate its code of conduct  for US forces in Iraq. The Israelis did what the Americans asked for.

Alex also said in his article Resist Islamo-fascism Awareness Weak:
He [David Horowitz] is branding the Muslim Student Associations as “the enemy,” and is aiming to stir up hatred and suppression against these students. 
Alex, the Muslim Student Association [MSA] is part of the Muslim Brotherhood-led colition to Islamize America and the rest of the world. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memo lists that organization in the ''list of our organizations and the orgnaizations of our friends"  and calls for the following:
The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The 
Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and 
destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their 
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious 
over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and 
have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work 
wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that 
destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be 
equal. 

The MSA was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood to Islamize America and the rest of the world and is part of the Muslim Brotherhood-led fascist nazified infiltration of this great nation America.

Ahmad Shama, then-president of the UCLA branch of the MSA, sponsored and spoke at a demonstration that called for the "Death to Israel," and "Death to Jews." MSA members also raised money for Hamas and Hezbollah. The MSA also organized  an event where the ambassador of the then ruling Taliban government was addressing the campus. The MSA, along with the Muslim Student Union, which is also part of the Muslim Brotherhood-led invasion of America, disrupted Daniel Pipes with calls to jihad.

Ahmad Shama also said, “We want to restore Islam to the leadership of society. … The goal … is the reestablishment of the Islamic form of government.” 

MSA and other groups in the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood-led invasion of America would pretend to be moderate and would sometimes sound moderate to the non-Islamic world. However, when speaking to the Muslim world, they would publicly state their radical Islamist goals. In fact, the PLO used the same tactic in the "recognition" of Israel's right to exist. When talking to the Arab and Muslim world, they would incite terrorism on and publicly call for Israel's elimination. They would even engage in terrorism with Israel. However, when talking to the west, the PLO would claim to recognize Israel's right to exist, condemn terrorism and call for peace with the Jewish state.

Yet, the "Alex" claims that David Horowitz is just spreading hatred against the MSA. "Alex," MSA is a real fascist Nazified enemy to America and its allies including Israel and to America's values such as freedom and democracy.

 Some people think I'm wasting my time responding to "Alex" and that he's not worth my time. I tell them that many people call "Alex" an investigative journalist. I'm debunking ''Alex'' and his supporters. My goal is to show the world that "Alex" is not an investigative journalist, not an expert on fascism, but a fringe conspiracy theorist who calls his opponents fascist and CIA agents without any evidence. No investigtive journalist would accuse me of calling liberals nazis or saying that I said the left is "a front for Nazis,'' as "Alex" did citing my article "Who are the Real Nazis," which accuses radical Islamists, not liberals, of being nazis. That article did not say that the left is a "front for Nazis." Anyone who reads that article can see that. Yet apparently, "Alex," the investigative journalist, couldn't.


To make things worse, "Alex" has a band named after him called the "Constantines." I'm only here to expose "Alex'' for what he is, a leftist propagandist, who calls his opponents fascists or CIA agents.
