There is (was, is probably more accurate) a dialect called Judaeo-Arabic, basically Arabic spoken by Jews, which differed to some extent from the dominant local Arabic dialect by the use of Hebrew words, and which was written in Hebrew script. Moses Maimonides wrote in Arabic (using Hebrew words and script) a lot.

It was always 'laissez" in my family. Interesting tidbit of trivia, I was born in Louisiana and stayed there til about age 11. At that time, teaching French was actually part of the standard elementary school curriculum in Louisiana.

c'est vrai? Moi, aux centre des Etas Unis, j'ai rarement l'oppurtunite de practiquer mon francais. Don't mean to derail, but francais interests me more than another thread about about the a pro-Israeli propaganda effort and the subjects it targets. I'll take it to another thread after this if need be. I studied french from 7th grade through college, sans arrete (don't know how to make accent signs on this keyboard and OS, sorry, excuse the absence). J'ai habite en Paris pendant quelque mois, et je pourrai parler et ecriver tres bien pendant ce temps, mais j'ai perdu beacoup a cause de negligence de mes abilities dans les annees suivant. S'il y'a une groupe ici ou je peut practiquer et ameliorer , je serrai tres hereux de participer. Merci mes amis. And to Hell with the Queen of England.

The whole field of 'conspiracy' writers has too many anti-semites, but there is also far too much Israeli propaganda for me to think there isn't something going on in the reverse. Must be easier to spot from the outside, because I suspect the American propaganda is even more ingrained in myself despite my efforts at conscious awareness of the bs.

That is wild....reminds me for some reason of those amazing/depressing photos of "Afghanistan in the 1970s" .... lost worlds and better days.

Also, your LA heritage definitely beats me childhood in Vermont being raised on Professor Longhair & Dr. John Records...I will cede to your experience points.

It's a kind of disappointing tale - After my mom moved us to TX (where I currently reside) I rapidly lost all the fluency I once had in French because no one here speaks it. It was frustrating, when I would go back to visit my grandparents in Louisiana they would flow from English to French and I couldn't follow the French part of their conversations anymore.

If I had a knowledge downloader a la "The Matrix" the first thing I would download is the French language, I definitely feel a sense of sadness knowing that none of the relatives of my generation or younger speak French, and the language will probably disappear from Louisiana in a few more decades.

This being the internet, you can always practice your French with real French speakers. Though I feel bad for anybody trying to brush up on their English by studying the spelling and grammar found in comments sections. The situation is probably similar in French. I want to learn Homeric Greek. There are a couple books I am thinking about buying, but I hear that the language is quite difficult.

You want a fresh conspiracy angle? How about the idea that automatic red-underline grammar and spelling correction is a subtle tool of empire used to make typing (and thus communicating) in one's mother tongue so cumbersome at the outset that you lose a good 50 percent or more of would-be speakers/users before they even get started. I know I've lost pretty much all MY OWN French typing ability due to this ubiquitous (and not always necessary) little "communications tool".

Thoughts?

I mean, I get started writing in French, and EVERY WORD is underlined red, and words are changing right before my eyes as they "autospell" incorrectly in another language.

I realize that there are paths I can take to turn off the spell-check, but seeing as the default position for it seems to be ON, and seeing as turning it OFF involves going deep into the program settings of each individual program (word processors, web browsers, email clients, etc)... well, you see where I'm going with this.

A conspiracy? Or just real lucky for English as it races to become the ONLY lingua franca of the online world? I mean, shit dudes, there are things I know about from French language culture that haven't hit the English world yet, and everybody who speaks English just ASSUMES that everything of any value will eventually come out in English that... hmmm. I'm upsetting myself now.

Cheers!

"Canadians carrying the anti-Semitic ‘disease’"? This thread- as started by bluenoseclaret- began kinda like Typhoid Mary's Complete Guide to Wellness...

This would be more like it:


http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2 ... -race.html

The Heritage Front: The True Story in Race Traitor

KOBO: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-CA/ebook/ ... t-cover-up
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Race-Traitor-Cana ... B00JA05FYM


A few years back, we posted a link to Elisa Hategan's novel, Race Traitor. While it was a work of fiction, it was still very obviously based on her experience in the Heritage Front as well as her subsequent defection and testimony that ultimately helped take down the group. Many members of the Collective purchased the novel. One question that we often discussed was which parts were true and which parts were fictionalized for the sake of a compelling thriller? We all really enjoyed the novel, but we still hoped that one day a definitive history of the Heritage Front might actually be written (the closest thing that was currently in existence was Warren Kinsella's Web of Hate). Not knowing if there would be anything published, we started our own project, attempting to document the history of the racist movement in Canada (this includes our "History of Violence" which has become by far the most viewed article on the blog) paying particular attention to the Heritage Front. We thought this was a period in Canadian history that needed to be remembered, however we knew that what we could compile would be insufficient.

Thankfully, Ms. Hategan did continue her writing in this area and has, as of a few days ago, published her story about the Heritage Front. We downloaded it on KOBO two nights ago and completed it this morning. It is an incredibly compelling story and one that we think needs a wider audience.

Image

We'll provide the blurb from Amazon (links added by ARC):

Set in 1990s Toronto, RACE TRAITOR is the visceral true story of a teenage girl who becomes entangled in Canada’s most powerful white supremacist group, the Heritage Front – a domestic terrorist group later revealed to have been created and funded with the assistance of Canada’s spy agency, Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS).

To sixteen-year old runaway Elisse, the new friends she encounters in the secretive Heritage Front are the family she’s never had. They feed her when she’s hungry, watch her back, and Wolfgang Droege, one of the group’s charismatic leaders, introduces her to a trusted friend, notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, who provides her with shelter and work.

In less than a year, Elisse evolves into an extremist groomed for a leadership role in the far-right movement. Her loyalty earns her the attention and tutelage of Grant Bristow, co-founder of the Heritage Front, who is training a secret faction of skinheads and neo-Nazis in information-gathering and terror tactics targeting political opponents. Rapidly drawn into their web of hatred, Elisse witnesses an escalating campaign of terror from which there seems no way out.

Forced to confront her sexual orientation and secret heritage, Elisse realizes that she must fight back. But when she attempts to shut down the vicious organization that had brainwashed her and terrorized innocent Canadians, she learns that a darker force is behind the façade of the Heritage Front: Canada’s own spy agency, backed by the government that was supposed to protect her.

At only eighteen, Elisse’s testimony will lead to the criminal convictions of prominent white supremacists including Wolfgang Droege. Within months, Grant Bristow would be exposed as an undercover CSIS agent. Although Operation Governor never led to the arrest of a single Canadian racist, Bristow will be placed into the Witness Protection Program and given a package worth hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, while the teenage girl who had named him as a criminal will be denied police protection and forced to go on the run for her life.


We noticed that Ms. Hategan kindly also provided a page of resources which includes our "History of Violence" time line. For that we have to thank Ms. Hategan for the plug.

While a discussion of the history of the Heritage Front, from our point of view, is important in and of itself, Ms. Hategan notes that the story remains topical even today. In some way Race Traitor is less about the Heritage Front than it is a cautionary tale about government surveillance and the loss of civil liberties. While the Heritage Front might have existed without the help of CSIS, it seems clear that it became far more dangerous as a result of their involvement through their paid informant.

There currently is no hardcopy of the book, however you can download a digital version on Amazon for your Kindle or at the KOBO bookstore.

^^^

Regarding the above:
I assert this has *nada* to do with the OP.
The OP is an article by Robert Fisk about B'nai Brith Canada.


American Dream, you are filling up multiple threads on the front page with identical cross-posted links. Every one of these threads is typically treated as a Data Dump, with a dozen continuous cross-posted threads in a row with no response from anyone else.

Multiple people on the Egypt thread have complained of your continuing multiple re-post Copy-Pasta nonsense.

Of course nothing will happen, as you are exceptional and the Forum rules do not apply to you.

AD, I was quite willing to remove myself from this post, but you were not.

My request is that American Dream's CopyPasta approach is censured and that a new voluntary Code of Posting is created by the Forum with the blessing and approval of the Moderators.

It's ironic, at best, that Searcher would apply his imaginary guidelines in one direction only and completely ignore real guidelines that might hurt his friends and allies...

Several points are worth discussing from American Dream's response.

First:
The issue I raised about his disruptive posting style was ignored.
If HE thinks I am posting multiple CopyPasta articles across very similar threads, he should provide his evidence in the form of links.

Second:
Distraction
It is being positively disingenuous at best, and downright disinformation at worst to suggest that I have been engaged in similar CopyPasta behaviour to you, AD. Many people here have complained about you CopyPastaing. I am not aware of anyone else other than you being the subject of these complaints. Perhaps he can point out where I have done it?

Third:
AD draws a fallacious distinction between me applying MY guidelines and ignoring 'real' guidelines.
This assumes the *existence* of two sets of guidelines - my ones and the real ones.
This is demonstrably false. THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES. I am making the statement that it would be useful to COLLABORATIVELY CREATE some. If AD thinks there are already collaborative created best practice posting guidelines, he should provide a link - (N.B. I am specifically **NOT** talking about Jeff's Forum Rules, which are primarily focused on Content). This is not about 'What' is posted but about 'How'.


American Dream, why do you continue Copy Pasta-ing when so many people ask you to stop?

I hate that. Turn it off as the first thing whenever & wherever possible. It's off on my browser and Word, of course, also cell phone. The idea is that all words you type are provisionally wrong until completed and approved by the moron philistines at the Microsoft corporation!!! Nothing, nothing may be written without a constant supervision from Control. Ugh.

Thing is, it's normalized.

Im on google chrome and all it takes to change spellcheck is to right click and go to "spellcheck options" and add a language. Then you can switch to any language you want. So nah, I dont think english language browsers having english set to default is a conspiracy.
