The Associated Press published a story over the weekend on President Jimmy Carter's new book 'Peace, Not Apartheid':

Carter defends controversial book

AP
20/01/2007

Former President Jimmy Carter said Saturday that the storm of criticism he has faced for his recent book has not weakened his resolve for fair treatment of Israelis and Palestinians.

"I have been called a liar," Carter said at a town hall meeting on the second day of a three-day symposium on his presidency at the University of Georgia.

"I have been called an anti-Semite," he said. "I have been called a bigot. I have been called a plagiarist. I have been called a coward. Those kind of accusations, they concern me, but they don't detract from the fact the book is accurate and is needed."...

"Not one of the critics of my book has contradicted any of the basic premises ... that is the horrible persecution and oppression of the Palestinian people and secondly that the formula for finding peace in the Middle East already exists," the 82-year-old Carter said.

A President of the United States an anti-Semite?

The unquestionably and most eminently Christian Jimmy Carter a "liar" and "bigot"? What's going on here?

Alexander Cockburn of Counterpunch commented on the slander and libel against Carter and his book in an article entitled 'First bomb Carter, then nuke Iran':

But the assault on Carter is all to no avail. With each gust of abuse, Carter's book soars higher and higher on the bestseller lists, reaching number 4 on Amazon itself. This doesn't prove the lobby has no power. It proves the lobby can be dumb....

The Israel lobby may be many things, but it is not 'dumb'. We are dealing with something much more alarming here:

A.M. Lobaczewski, in his seminal book "Political Ponerology" commented thusly:

Paranoid Character Disorders:

...arguments begin to undermine their overvalued ideas, crush their long-held stereotypes of reasoning, or forces them to accept a conclusion they had subconsciously rejected before. Such a stimulus unleashes...a torrent of pseudo-logical, largely paramoralistic, often insulting utterances which always contain some degree of suggestion. (p.110)

Look at the response from the Israel lobby to Carter's book; could there be a better description than: "a torrent of pseudo-logical, largely paramoralistic, often insulting utterances which always contain some degree of suggestion"?

This soon to be commonplace concept, "paramoralism", is so pivotal for understanding the triumphs and tragedies being enacted on the world stage today, that it merits a closer look.

Lobaczewski continues:

...Unfortunately, it has become a frequent phenomenon for...oppressive groups, or patho-political systems to invent ever-new moral criteria ("paramoralisms") ... Paramoralisms somehow cunningly evade the control of our common sense, sometimes leading to acceptance or approval of behavior that is openly pathological. ... Paramoralisitic statements and suggestions so often accompany various kinds of evil that they seem quite irreplaceable. Anything which threatens autocratic rule becomes (is labelled) deeply immoral. (pps 150, 205)

Examples of this tactic abound in modern politics, particularly in relation to the US and Israel, for example: "You are with us, or you are against us", being "against us" meaning that "you are a terrorist" and thus, immoral."

Now you know what to call such psychobabble: 'Paramoralisms'.

Cockburn continued:

The Israel lobby retains its grip inside the Beltway, but it's starting to lose its hold on the broader public debate. Why?

Lobaczewski, in "Political Ponerology", answers this question:

... time and experience confirm what a psychologist may have long foreseen: the entire effort "the goal - forcing human minds to incorporate pathological experiential methods and thought-patterns, and consequently accepting such rule - only results in producing a general stifling of intellectual developments and deep-rooted protest against affront-mongering "hypocrisy". The authors and executors of this program are incapable of understanding that the decisive factor making their work difficult is the fundamental nature of normal human beings - the majority. (p.195-6)

Cockburn continues:

You can't brutalize the Palestinian people in the full light of day, decade after decade, without claims that Israel is a light among the nations getting more than a few serious dents....

Himself a victim of both the Nazi and Soviet occupations of Poland, Prof. Lobaczewski not only lived through these horrors, but used them to forge the most penetrating analysis of the psychological and social mechanisms behind these evil chapters of recent history that I have ever read. I count this as the most important book I have ever read. His concepts hold the key to our future, if we will but grasp it.

Lobaczewski speaks of the life cycle of such episodes of societal "ponerization" or "evilizing" and their inevitable outcome:

Lobaczewski, in "Political Ponerology":

The achievement of absolute domination by pathocrats in the government of a country cannot be permanent since large sectors of the society become disaffected by such rule and eventually find some way of toppling it. This is part of the historical cycle, easily discerned when history is read from a Ponerological point of view. Pathocracy at the summit of governmental organization also does not constitute the entire picture of the "mature phenomenon". Such a system of government has nowhere to go but down.

I Agree... By System

When I was younger I was surrounded by psycopathic types of people and their groups. After reading through Ponerology, I saw that this effect is also common in smaller groups such as gangs and even within so called "friends" - not just political purposes.

A very versatile book in its applications...

Terriffic Article...... By Eurancha

Regarding Lobaczewski's statement of the life cycle of societetal "ponerization" or "evilizing", just look at your own life and I'll bet that you can see that cycles come and go. That is, until they are broken. This happens in everything INCLUDING history. Think about this.

Protesting Too Much By Grover

Carter did more to further the Palestine/Israel peace movement issue that any other president, and the Zionists call him anti-semetic? Anyone see a problem with that?

Hope Jc Does Get It. By Graham

Lobaczewski's study is uncanny the way it explains so much of what we see today through the observations of some sixty years ago. Same disease, different day.

Re: Protesting Too Much: By Richsw
Richsw

Actually, if you look at Israeli behaviour during Carter's peace process negotiations between them, you will soon see the Israelis only wanted to LOOK like they were attempting to come to a peaceful resolution with the Palestinians. They never, ever wanted any reasonable and equitable resolution to the hostilities because they never, ever will give up their desire to own the entire region and force anyone else who is not 'one of them' out. That is, any one who they can not use as servants or even slaves!

Standing Up To The Anglo Zionist Beast By Christx11

Jimmy Carter's Library kind of sums it all up.

[Link]
**
On March 7, 1977, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel was accompanied by his wife, Leah, on a visit with President and Mrs. Carter at the White House. Though Rabin soon was replaced as Prime Minister by Menachem Begin, with whom President Carter negotiated the Camp David Accords, Rabin later returned to power and shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize for the 1993 Oslo Accords. Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by an Israeli student dissatisfied with Rabin concessions during the peace process. larger image
Image 2) C867-8a Pres. Anwar Sadat and his wife Jean

On April 4, 1977, President Anwar Sadat and his wife, Jehan, were welcomed to the White House by President and Mrs. Carter. Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by Islamic fundamentalists dissatisfied with Sadat concessions during the peace process. larger image

Rabin assassinated, Sadat assassinated, Mr. Carter has the gaul to speak the truth and look at his reward. I would not doubt that either or both the Mossad and U.S. Intel Services were involved in both Rabin's and Sadat's assassinations.

Political Assasination, Zionists And Nazi'S By Yossarian
Yossarian

Excellent point. Political assasination is the number one tool of the psychopaths/pathocrats--according to all the evidence that I've been able to gather. The tool was perfected by the Nazi's, and was "Paperclipped" by the U.S. Secret Government and has been tranformed into the top (ultimate-final) control mechanism in the U.S. and elsewhere. And is there doubt that at some level, Zionism, the U.S. Secret Government, and their chief weapon, the so called "intelligence" agencies, (CIA and other alphabet agencies known and unknown by the public, and Mossad and it's progeny) are behind all these assasinations? Assasinations--those obvious and those not obvious--cause we certainly know they can kill anybody with impunity and make it appear to be death by natural causes or use the old standby, "suicide," rubberstamped by the corrupt lower level lackeys that they control and put into those positions.

It was interesting the connections that SOtT has discovered between the Nazi's and Zionists. Seems they were (are) on the same page, so to speak. Look into the background of Henry Kissinger (and his mentor Fritz Kraemer puppetmaster in the NSC, for example, see here: http://www.maebrussell.com/Bibliography%20Sheets/787s1.html and Project Paperclip, to see the clear connection between all these bad actors)

Replaced By Menachem Begin, Huh? By Jgeropoulas

"The most notorious of the Zionist terror groups was the Irgun, whose leader Menachem Begin would one day go on to become Prime Minister of Israel!

On the morning of July 22, 1946, of 15-20 Irgun terrorists dressed as Arabs entered the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. They unloaded 225 kilograms of explosives hidden in milk churns. 23 The King David Hotel housed the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and Headquarters of the British Forces in Palestine. When a British officer became suspicious, a shootout took place and the Irgun lit the fuses and fled. The explosion destroyed part of the hotel and killed 91 people. Most of the victims were British but 15 innocent Jews also died, proving that radical Zionists are capable of even killing fellow Jews in order to advance their cause.

The Irgun terror gang also targeted Arab civilians in order to frighten them into evacuating their land. The most well known of these massacres happened at the village of Deir Yassin on the morning of April 9, 1948. More than 100 Arabs, including women and children were systematically slaughtered by Menachem Begin's murderous gang. 24 The Israelis took over whatever villages the terrorized Arabs fled from." -- "Stranger Than Fiction"

Call A Spade A Spade, Unless The Spade Is Israel... By Ryan
Ryan

Again and again we see that it doesn't matter who you are - criticise Israel and you will be smeared and defamed. Even ex-US-Presidents are not "off limits". I think that more and more people are beginning to realise that something really "stinks" regarding this hypersensitivity to the "Israel question". And fortunately, it seems some of them are Israeli citizens.

Ponerology? A Palestinian Urology By Abe bird

or something close to that.

What are you doing all years long? Smearing and defaming Israel in vain. You don't help to solve the "Arab Palestinian question" by attacking Israel verbally or practically. Israel is strong and righteous nations, and creeps as you won't change that fact. You have to live with Israel aside to you or you will be brutalized by the Islamo-Fascist gangs while Israel is laughing at you and your stupidity. You try to defend the evils that attack the innocents, than you are to become the victims of those evils . See a Falsetinian ProPalganda stupidity: [Link]
Now you wonder why the Jews defeat them time and again???

You are clearly deficient in the critical thinking department. Citing your own clearly biased opinion backed-up by a link to MEMRI which, as I noted already, is a media company known to be operated by a group closely associated with the Israeli intelligence organizations and co-founded by Meyrav Wurmser and Colonel Yigal Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence, does not qualify as a valid point.

Either you start getting a grip on reality or you stop posting here.

It never ceases to amaze me how these Zionists are incapable of presenting an argument without insulting the person to whom they are speaking. They KNOW they have no factual or logical ground to stand on - so they just go on personal attack - time and time and time again. Pitiful, really.

About Sending A Copy To Jimmy Carter By Alexstratus

If you are already a personal friend of Jimmy Carter or know somebody who is, I doubt that the book would reach him. I don't want to discourage trying, but just want to point out that nothing gets mailed or delivered to him or any former president without a thorough checkout for explosives, bioweps, etc. Any secret service, CIA or FBI agent worthy of their job probably would manage to lose that book. It is after all a book exposing the psychological nature of the pathocracy they work for.

They'Re Called Jews By Ironwrench

Whatever title, name, political affiliation or nationality they hide behind, Zionist Israeli, American, Communist, Capitalist, French, German, Dutch you name it, they are first and foremost Jews. I always find it amazing that people, cannot seem to utter the word without doubling over with guilt. It's been said before, "If you want to know who is running things look to those who cannot be criticized". Those who are confused by the present state of affairs throughout the western world should read Dr. Kevin MacDonald's triology. Found here: [Link]
These books explain many of the reasons as to why things are the way they are in America, the Middle East, The Commonwealths and Europe.
