	Dr. Kevin MacDonald talks about the Red Diaper Babies Dr. Kevin MacDonald talks about the Red Diaper Babies Understanding Jewish Influence III: Neoconservatism as a Jewish Movement Kevin MacDonald -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last year, there has been a torrent of articles on neoconservatism raising (usually implicitly) some difficult issues: Are neoconservatives different from other conservatives? Is neoconservatism a Jewish movement? Is it "anti-Semitic" to say so? The thesis presented here is that neoconservatism is indeed a Jewish intellectual and political movement. This paper is the final installment in a three-part series on Jewish activism and reflects many of the themes of the first two articles. The first paper in this series focused on the traits of ethnocentrism, intelligence, psychological intensity, and aggressiveness.1 These traits will be apparent here as well. The ethnocentrism of the neocons has enabled them to create highly organized, cohesive, and effective ethnic networks. Neoconservatives have also exhibited the high intelligence necessary for attaining eminence in the academic world, in the elite media and think tanks, and at the highest levels of government. They have aggressively pursued their goals, not only in purging more traditional conservatives from their positions of power and influence, but also in reorienting US foreign policy in the direction of hegemony and empire. Neoconservatism also illustrates the central theme of the second article in this series: In alliance with virtually the entire organized American Jewish community, neoconservatism is a vanguard Jewish movement with close ties to the most extreme nationalistic, aggressive, racialist and religiously fanatic elements within Israel.2 Neoconservatism also reflects many of the characteristics of Jewish intellectual movements studied in my book, The Culture of Critique3(see Table 1). Table 1: Characteristics of Jewish Intellectual Movements A deep concern with furthering specific Jewish interests, such as helping Israel or promoting immigration. Issues are framed in a rhetoric of universalism rather than Jewish particularism. Issues are framed in moral terms, and an attitude of moral superiority pervades the movement. Centered around charismatic leaders (Boas, Trotsky, Freud). Jews form a cohesive, mutually reinforcing core. Non-Jews appear in highly visible roles, often as spokespersons for the movement. A pronounced ingroup/outgroup atmosphere within the movement—dissenters are portrayed as the personification of evil and are expunged from the movement. The movement is irrational in the sense that it is fundamentally concerned with using available intellectual resources to advance a political cause. The movement is associated with the most prestigious academic institutions in the society. Access to prestigious and mainstream media sources, partly as a result of Jewish influence on the media. Active involvement of the wider Jewish community in supporting the movement. However, neoconservatism also presents several problems to any analysis, the main one being that the history of neoconservatism is relatively convoluted and complex compared to other Jewish intellectual and political movements. To an unusual extent, the history of neoconservatism presents a zigzag of positions and alliances, and a multiplicity of influences. This is perhaps inevitable in a fundamentally political movement needing to adjust to changing circumstances and attempting to influence the very large, complex political culture of the United States. The main changes neoconservatives have been forced to confront have been their loss of influence in the Democratic Party and the fall of the Soviet Union. Although there is a remarkable continuity in Jewish neoconservatives' interests as Jews—the prime one being the safety and prosperity of Israel—these upheavals required new political alliances and produced a need for new work designed to reinvent the intellectual foundation of American foreign policy.

	Ron Paul, please be careful! - Security concerns Question 2: What are you offering all of those in FEMA, Homeland Security, IRS, Federal Reserve, Department of Education, Department of Energy etc. in return for closing their institution and to the military-industrial complex you wish to undermine? Taking away people's job, especially in such powerful institutions, will cost anybody dearly unless you put something concrete and appetizing to look forward to. This video is for Ron Paul, all who support him, and to keep training our critical mind and, as his grass-roots, to maybe aide him a bit in sharpening some of the points of debate and to hopefully help the overall campaign... I have watched an enormous amount of YouTube videos and done much reading on Ron and other candidates and, besides Gravel and Kucinich in the Democratic Party, Ron has no match on the issues and, especially in the Republican debates, no match at all. Still, it is important to, whilst on the one hand appreciating and being struck by Ron's energy, honesty, charm and vigor, to remain a good critical audience as well, and I am sure he would agree. To introduce the question, let me say that most revolutions throughout history have been done by only a small percentage of the population, with the assistance of some, and with the tacit approval, or at least not active opposition to, the revolution. So, if the fervent Ron Paul supporters are going to get any support from the higher echelons of US society, which they REALLY need, there are a few aspects Ron, I would stress more in your speeches.

	CITRIS Headquarters Groundbreaking Dean Newton' presentation Dean Richard Newton told the audience how, working with CITRIS, students and faculty will "engineer a better world." With ceremonial tosses of dirt on a sunny October afternoon, College and University leaders kicked off construction of the new headquarters building for CITRIS, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society. About 300 faculty, students, and alumni, as well as campus, community, and state leaders attended the groundbreaking ceremonies to celebrate the complex that will provide students and faculty with state-of-the-art facilities for pioneering interdisciplinary education and research. Launched in 2001, CITRIS is one of four California Institutes for Science and Innovation, formed as a public--private partnership. Drawing from strengths in engineering, the sciences, business, public policy, economics, and the humanities, CITRIS has grown rapidly to embrace dozens of faculty--student teams across the four UC partner campuses, including Berkeley, Davis, Merced, and Santa Cruz. The new CITRIS building will be the hub of this wide-ranging network—a lively nexus for development of innovative, high-impact technology targeted to solve some of the most challenging problems in energy, health, security, the environment, and beyond. "The goal of CITRIS is to maximize the impact of our education and research," said Engineering dean Richard Newton in an upbeat presentation emphasizing the CITRIS hallmarks of collaboration, corporate partnerships, and "use-inspired" research to serve society and improve people's lives. Key contributors, he said, are the corporate and private donors who have funded the building and the students working on CITRIS projects today, who will be the leaders of tomorrow. "The words of the CITRIS acronym really spoke to me," said Elizabeth Reilly ('07 ME), a graduate student working in CITRIS on "energy-harvesting" wireless sensor networks that she hopes will help conserve our energy supply. "A center that's in the interest of society; there's an opportunity to do research here that really matters." Dado Banatao, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and major CITRIS benefactor, also spoke. "The lifelong and distance learning aspects of the institute were what really brought CITRIS to the attention of my wife Maria and me," he said. "We believe strongly in bringing the strength and values of a Berkeley engineering education to students who would not otherwise have such an opportunity." The 145,000 square-foot building, scheduled for completion in 2007, will include a nanofabrication laboratory, distance learning center, flexible educational and research facilities, and will link to the partnering UC campuses.

	Dr Whiting on Stress, Cortisol, and Natural Anti-Depressants Stress has become so commonplace that most of us don't even think about it on a day-to-day basis. Our society encourages more and more stress for greater and greater success but the ravages of prolonged excess stress can change the body chemistry in many ways such as over-producing a hormone called cortisol. Excess cortisol causes many complications in the body over time, one of which is excessive weight gain. Cortisol and weight gain as well as difficulties with weight loss are directly related to excess stress. Stress management can be accomplished in many ways. Meditation, prayer, and other forms of relaxation are often helpful in stress management. The effects of excess stress on the body can be wide ranging. Most existing health challenges are made worse by excess stress. Nutrition can also come to the rescue in helping to physically manage stress. Stress management with nutrition would include the B complex vitamins, especially pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid directly supports the adrenal glands, helping to prevent their exhaustion. Herbal extracts are also helpful and should be including in any stress supplement formula. Here at The Institute, we have developed a stress supplement that has proven to be of great help to many thousands of people. This formula helps control cortisol levels, aiding in weight loss, this formula has also helped many people reduce or eliminate their dependency on various drugs. The effects of stress can be greatly reduced through the use of our multi-faceted stress supplement. The role of nutrition and stress is a strong one and nutrition should always be considered as part of an overall stress management program. Our stress supplement is available from Phoenix Nutritionals.
	Artist-talk / Dinh Q Lê Dinh Q Lê uses sculpture, video and installation to create powerful statements about the impact of historical events on individual lives. Many of Lê's works focus on the disturbing physical and psychological effects resulting from the Vietnam--US War (1959--75). Lê shows how these effects still permeate the cultural memory and landscape of Vietnam. History, mythology and popular culture are interwoven by Lê as he blends images from different sources in an affecting process of memorialisation. His works deal with the instability of memory, and questions of accountability that emerge from histories of conflict. The complex history of violence in Vietnam is often filtered through photojournalism and cinematic imagery from Hollywood. The work of Dinh Q Lê reconciles and disrupts these dramatised representations of people who have lived through conflict and whose lives are irrevocably transformed by the effects of war. Dinh Q Lê was featured in the '50th Venice Biennale 2003', Italy, and has exhibited at the Asia Society, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Smithsonian Institute, Washington; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York.
