AComment
A real taboo is a prohibition causing inhibition. Now, if ever you dare to
touch it, it may first suddenly bring about an electrical disconnection of
your brain cells. You become unable to keep control of your thoughts and
language. The most logical person becomes illogical and adrenalin is in
command. Few fears could be compared with the fear of the Jews (metus
Judaeorum; this genitive being objective and subjective). In our Western
societies no taboo is stronger than the Jewish taboo. It really should be called
‘the taboo of taboos’.
Take the examples of professors who, at one point, dared to touch it.
Professors are supposed to handle ideas with at least an appearance of logic.
But, now, see the example in Lyon of Professor Régis Ladous who
supervised Jean Plantin in the preparation of his master’s thesis on Paul
Rassinier. Along with another professor he awarded Plantin a ‘mention très
bien’, the ‘Very Good’mark. Eight years afterwards, the Jews discovered the
‘crime’. They launched such a campaign that Ladous began to organize a
campaign against Holocaust denial in Lyon! But this was not enough. He
had to recant, which he did. At one point he was asked why, with his
colleague, he had given Plantin that ‘mention très bien’, and he answered
something like, ‘It was a kind of joke because the work was so ludicrous’!
And this was not the end of the story. Eleven years after he had awarded
this highest mark, Ladous was ordered to organise with a colleague once
again a ‘viva voce’ as if Plantin was still at the university. Of course,
Plantin did not attend that theatre piece. Ladous and the other professor
went into a room, then a few minutes afterwards emerged and a trembling
Ladous said that Plantin’s thesis was awarded the ‘Unacceptable’ mark,
even though that word does not belong to the official language. Journalists
were there and mocked Ladous but they never said that all this was insane
and that Plantin was the real victim of that farce.
And that was not the end of the story either for Ladous or for Plantin but
it would be too long to tell you the whole story.
The story of JSA Hayward and Professor Vincent Orange of Canterbury
University, New Zealand illustrates the same lesson: if ever you touch the
Jewish taboo, be ready for the spectacle of a sinister farce in which
supposedly logical actors will behave like beheaded persons or, I should
perhaps say, like beheaded chicken.
I think I have a possible explanation for the exceptional power of the Jewish
taboo and it is precisely because I think I found the very intimate source of
that power both in the Jews and in the Gentiles that I was able, when I
touched the taboo, to keep some control of my fear, of my thoughts, of my
language and of my behaviour.

PS: Intercourse with Satan was physically impossible and Hitler’s
gassings, as described, chemically impossible while the alleged Saddam’s
WMDs are physically and chemically possible since USA, UK, Israel and
few others own such weapons, that they call ‘dissuasion’weapons.
