Come with me as we start our (long) journey reviewing and analyzing sci-fi dystopian movies and books spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The aim: compare what we find in dystopian films and novels to our current technological, societal, sociopolitical, and geopolitical state; to see how close we are to a plausible dystopian future as foreseen throughout modern history.

ABOUT THIS CLIP:
Bashing to tiny academic bits the notorious "intellectual" Norman Finkelstein, who's well known for supporting extreme Islamists and Muslim terror organization as well as his psychopathic war mongering agenda which leads him to assert that only through war will there be peace in the Middle East as well as his loose academic integrity, misquoting historians and distorting history in his tireless attempt to vilify Israel and the Jewish people.
In this specific video I'm bashing the little scum bag for an interview he gave to a Lebnease TV station after his meeting with the nutritiously murderess psychopathic bunch of radical Shia Muslims known as Hezbollah (may they soon meet the god they kill in the name of - amen!).
The full interview can be seen here:

A FEW NOTES ABOUT STUFF IN THE CLIP:
* Maor Bitton's Channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/maorbitton
* List of attacks by Hezbollah against Israel taken from:
http://www.aijac.org.au/resources/hezb_00-06.html
* Quotes by Hassan Nasrallah taken from:
http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=7&x_issue=11&x_article=1158
* My revolutionary over simplified 2 dimensional political bell curve: CRIIPLLs = Criminally Insane Intellectual Postmodern Liberal Leftists. Represented by Noam Chomsky.
LARRRRDs = Loose Association of Rightwing Rednecks, Reactionaries and Racist Douchebags. Represented by David Duke.
* Pears ridiculing Finkelstein and his trash academic works:
- Daniel Goldhagen, claimed Finkelstein's scholarship has everything to do with his burning political agenda.
- Peter Novick, Professor of History at the University of Chicago and a noted Holocaust historian described Finkelstein's work as trash.
- Historian Omer Bartov, wrote about Finkelstein's The Holocaust Industry: It is filled with precisely the kind of shrill hyperbole that Finkelstein rightly deplores in much of the current media hype over the Holocaust; it is brimming with the same indifference to historical facts, inner contradictions, strident politics and dubious contextualizations; and it oozes with the same smug sense of moral and intellectual superiority... Like any conspiracy theory, it contains several grains of truth; and like any such theory, it is both irrational and insidious.
-Jeffrey Goldberg characterized Finkelstein as a "ridiculous figure" and accused him of "lying and purposely misreading my book."
- Alan Dershowitz has claimed Finkelstein's complicity in a conspiracy against pro-Israel scholars: The mode of attack is consistent. Chomsky selects the target and directs Finkelstein to probe the writings in minute detail and conclude that the writer didn't actually write the work, that it is plagiarized, that it is a hoax and a fraud, arguing that Finkelstein has leveled charges against many academics, calling at least 10 distinguished Jews hucksters, hoaxters (sic), thieves, extortionists, and worse.
* Norman G. Finkelstein (AKA Norman Finkelshit) Not a real professor:
Finkelstein was denied tenure in DePaul university and placed on administrative leave for the 2007-2008 academic year. On September 5, 2007 Finkelstein announced his resignation after coming to a settlement with the university on generally undisclosed terms. Most probably out of DePaul university's fear that his published research might hurt a college's reputation.
* "Unforgiving unforgetting" Jews mentioned:
- Peace with Egypt - Menahem Beggin with Anwar El Sadat.
- Geneva Agreement - Yossi Beylin with Yasser Abd Rabbo.
- Oslo Accords - Yitzhak Rabin with Yasir Arafat
* The Lebanese Civil War. lasted from 1975 to 1990 and resulted in an estimated 130,000 to 250,000 civilian fatalities. Another one million people (one fourth of the population) were wounded, and today approximately 350,000 people remain displaced, the majority of them Christian Lebanese. The main catalyst for the war were murderess activities by Palestinian terrorists which inflamed the already tense relations between the pro-western Christian and Druze with Muslims Resulted among other things
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War
*Hezbollah - a radical, Shia Muslim terror organization which acts as a proxy force for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Among other things Hezbollah rents it's "freedom fighters" as death squads for countries like Iran, Turkey and Syria for internal oppression of assassination of civilians.

Palestine - To was or not to was? That is the question, which 2 Palestinian chicks tried to answer in an attempt to debunk, pwn and otherwise refute claims made in another video titled "Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the West Bank" - from the crafty hands of Danny Ayalon who seems to be enjoying making videos ever since he left the Israeli parliament. Well, now the poor girls got a Joniversity response.

My personal views:
For me personally the legal case for the West Bank as disputed territories seams sketchy, and I have a hunch that most Israelis are on the same page as I am on this. Also, I for one, do not think that the fact that the Palestinian national identity was manufactured not long ago (mainly for political reasons, but yes, also in response to a more organic sense of identity that has developed over time) means that they have more or less rights than the ancient Jewish national identity. The way I see it, trying to solve the Israeli-Arab conflict by benchmarking it against a historical justice/injustice scale simply seams extremely counter-productive - it is a fight both sides can potentially win at the face value argument level. Although Palestinians have the "advantage" of appearing as the weak party, which automatically makes a certain type of people unite in defense of the poor suffering brown native noble savage (just as they did for Israel when it was the weak party), after all weak = victim, and victim = just. Didn't you know? And yes, it helps when that poor suffering brown native noble savage has petro-dollar money pushing its propaganda.
Be good.

In this specific video, Bill tries to "debunk" an effect described in Einstein's theory of Special Relativity called Length Contraction (more info below), an effect which I explain the mathematical and empirical basis of, something Bill Gaede probably doesn't appreciate too much since he's busy playing with words since his whole "debunking" method is using semantics... how scientific of him... well you can't be too surprised, after all, the guy is a communist who managed to spy for Cuba, China and Iran...

In this video I employ the 2D test (Double Standards and Dehumanization) to see where The Young Turks stand when they deal with Israel which is under relentless insidious attack on a regular basis.
In general what I find is that taking accounts that at least as far as accusations go are similar to and surpass by far the allegations The Young Turks make against Israel -- Israel is the ONLY one being criticized, and as far as dehumanization goes -- I show how they pick up an anti-Semitic blood libel, regurgitate it, and using notorious propaganda tactics -- turn it into "news".

Besides thinking that space is a two dimensional grid (after all that's what the program he saw showed), Gorilla199 exposed Einstein's theories for what they really are - a satanic shape shifting reptilian Freemason science invented for the soul purpose of discrediting god who apparently had a different definition of space in the Bible (which is weird for an all-knowing super mega begin).
Well in this video I will not only show you the observational data that we have that confirm General Relativity (such as how objects act near large masses, gravitational lensing and gravitational waves), but also show you the clearest way that illustrates, using Newton's equations of motion and gravity, that mass most probably bends space, or rather space-time.

Background Story
Back in 2003, an International Solidarity Movement for Palestine (ISM) activist - Rachel Corrie - was crushed by an IDF D9R armored bulldozer during a demonstration on the Gaza-Egypt border.
Rachel cause of death was a piece of debris that was in the pile of dirt scooped by the D9 dozer, hit her face and killed her.
Rachel Corrie's family had accused Israel of intentionally and unlawfully killing their 23-year-old daughter, launching a civil case in the northern Israeli city of Haifa after a military investigation had cleared the army of wrong-doing. "I reject the suit," the judge said. "There is no justification to demand the state pay any damages." He added that the soldiers had done their utmost to keep people away from the site. "She (Corrie) did not distance herself from the area, as any thinking person would have done."
Senior U.S. officials criticized the original military investigation into the case, which not only showed (as I will) the driver of the D9 didn't see her since his view was obstructed -- but also validated it in a Polygraph test with the driver.

=== So what am I saying? ===
In this video I'm taking Syria as a case study with its multiple ethnic and religious groups, and the power structure which led the Alawi minority sect (of which Assad is a part of) to seize power over a large Sunni majority with some support of other minorities and while buying their way into Islam, in order to gain recognition of their ruling status. A recognition earned by bribing Iranian Shiites to issue a special fatwa which joined them artificially into Shiite Islam - and by that make Iran a strategic ally which together with Hezbollah in Lebanon, completes the Shiite Crescent: engulfing the entire middle east and posing a strategic threat specifically to the Saudi Whabbi Sunnis and their allies in the gulf region. Making all of the above active players within the Syrian revolution, while adding to the fuel, Russia which is motivated by both political and financial incentives in the form of: A) Gas and weapon deals, B) the alliance with Iran (and its own gas, oil, and weapon shipments), and C) preserving the little that is left from the soviet ear hegemony. Lastly also Turkey is briefly mentioned (although they deserve a full video of their own) regarding its need in a sympathizing and stable regime in Syria, as a means to secure a front as a regional dominator and to control Syrian and Iraqi Kurdish elements that are struggling to get their independence from Turkey. This has led Assad to arm the Kurdish PKK after his relationship with Erdogan went to the shits as a way to weaken Turkish stands and issue a soft threat. Also I'll be touching on Lebanon, just to show how the sectarian wars can easily seep to the other surrounding countries, especially the highly volatile Lebanon and Iraq.

=== Clarification Regarding Reasons for Popular Revolutions===
Yes, the anti-western undertone was there, but it was there for over 50 years. And it's no coincidence that the Arab Revolt erupted during the worst economic recession the world has ever seen since the 30's, as well as droughts, failing crops, etc. So as I've said reason number one is money, or rather prosperity, food, etc. However there are two other common denominators of historical revolutions:
1) Hope: Which usually starts when tyrants loosen their grip and promise reforms, which sparks hope in people... and with hope comes disillusion, and with disillusion comes trouble... And if you'll read back then you'll see that in the past ten years (mainly under pressure from the west), Arab regimes have embarked on political reforms... at least in appearance.
2) Information: Once you let information roam free, that's when the powers at be are in real trouble! In the European spring of nations it was literacy and the telegraph, in 1968 Prague revolt against communists it was western TV and radio broadcasts, and today, in the Arab Spring and elsewhere it's satellite dishes and the internet.

And this time, introducing the "missing links" of evolutionary theory - epigenetics, behavior and memetics.
Brief teaser: Ever wondered why you skin cells, liver cells and neurons all look and function differently although they all have the same DNA? Why socially harsh environments and stress are so easily correlated with aberrant behavior? Or why in twin brothers one can be diabetic, or even gay while the other isn't? Well it's time you knew.
And of course get some ammo for combating creationism (and this time also racism).

===== Just in case you wanted the facts behind this video =====
--- 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a plan to replace the British Mandate for Palestine with "Independent Arab and Jewish States".
Aras reaction: Arab leaders threatened the Jewish population of Palestine, speaking of "driving the Jews into the sea" and ridding Palestine "of the Zionist Plague".
Jewish reaction: The Jewish Agency praised the resolution. Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann said " It is now our primary task to establish relations of peace and harmony with our Arab neighbors"
--- Egypt--Israel Peace Treaty, signed in 1979, by Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, witnessed by Jimmy Carter.
--- Treaty of Peace Between Israel and Jordan, signed in 1994, by King Hussein of Jordan and Yitzhak Rabin, accompanied by Bill Clinton.
--- Israel's withdrawal from Gaza (unilateral disengagement plan):
Adopted by Ariel Sharon's, and enacted in 2005 which resettled (sometimes by force) all Israelis from the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank.
--- Removal of checkpoints:
During 2008 alone Israel has removed 140 roadblocks and eight central checkpoints. As of December 2010, Israeli authorities report that 27 out of 41 manned checkpoints, and more than 200 unmanned roadblocks- more than a third of the total roadblocks- have been removed.

Original clip: http://youtu.be/NThFXDzEjMo
About this clip from the a newspaper article:
Men exposing their behinds, spraying ketchup on top of a sex doll and snorting white powder while singing obscene lyrics -- this is not a drunken student hoax but a video featuring some of the Ukraine's most wealthy Jewish oligarchs.
Kiev's Jewish community might have managed to get past the embarrassment had it not been for one particular scene featuring the oligarchs dancing while donned in prayer shawls.
The person behind the scandal is Alexander Melamud, a Jewish entrepreneur involved in the biggest real estate deal in Ukrainian history after selling a large commercial compound in Kiev for $200 million. He is estimated to be worth $49 million. When not doing business, Melamud is busy writing erotic poetry and has even published several books.
The millionaire recently celebrated his 50th birthday. In light of the major event, some of his Jewish friends decided to surprise him with a video featuring a particularly racy song using the melody of Lady Gaga's hit "Bad Romance".
The video's stars include Ukrainian parliament member Dmitry Sandler, who just last week held a wedding for his daughter in Israel; Melamoud's partners and real estate tycoons Gari Korogodsky and Mikhail Spielman; and Alexander Gorodetsky, until recently owner of a major oil company.
Melamud's friends teased him mainly for his literary skills. They also joked about their own Jewish background: One scene shows the participants donned in prayer shawls while waving Star of David medallions and singing "we are heretics." Another shot shows them pouring vodka from bottles whose labels read "Jewish standard."

On the menu this time:
Lying to viewers
Misquoting news articles
Hatful bigotry
Blunt dishonesty
Watch how Rabbi Zamir Cohen, lies about pretty much everything humanly possible, misleads, misquotes the bible, invents new words, new meaning and new etymological roots -- and presents the great Primordial Lava Stew Theory which explains how during the Great Flood of Noah, springs of lava burst open and cooked all the big dinosaurs and giants, and humans and animals and boiled them in the flood waters for 40 days -- leaving behind dinosaur fossils (fossilized due to boiling) and making everything else vanish...

So besides being named after the 'Young Turks Revolution' in which the original Young Turks participated in the Armenian Genocide and horrendous Kurdish oppression, the Young Turks also have an issue with Israel and keep on portraying Israel as a terrorist state while Hamas comes off as this innocent group of people just waiting to become moderates and Palestinians of course are nothing less than oppressed poor angels trying to reclaim their land from time immemorial - Palestine.
Now, normally The Young Turds simply bash Israel using Russia-Today type propaganda, but in this clip the Young Turds decided to re-invent history - the Palestinian his story -- as well as portray Newt Gingrich - who I'm not a great of - as a raving crazy lair who doesn't know history (though he is a Doctor of History...).
So finally in this clip I do what should have been done long-long ago: I expose with actual FACTS The Young Turks for who they really are: A bunch of propagandists with a clear agenda of bashing Israel at any chance they get in the most dishonest way possible. In this video I explain who and what the Palestinians are, what's their national origin, the etymology of the word Palestine (which is from Hebrew BTW) and much-much more.
Enjoy!

It's time people (especially Jews) knew what the Jewish calendar really looked like and how an amazingly mathematically elegant and intricate solar Jewish calendar was scrapped and eventually replaced by a pagan Acadian-Assyrian lunisolar calendar in one of the major events that shaped Judaism maybe more than any other, giving the Pharisees the handles on Judaism.
In short, over 2000 years ago, at the final centuries before the destruction of the second temple an event shook Judaism and essentially brought the Biblical history to a halt.
In the year 175 BCE Antiochus IV takes Jerusalem and along the way tries to impose his own lunar calendar on the original solar Jewish calendar. The priestly family -- 'sons of Zadok' (AKA the Sadducees), keepers of the ancient solar Jewish Calendar aren't exactly happy to give up their calendar and beliefs and end-up persecuted out of the priesthood and replaced by more complacent priests -- those who were willing to give in to Antiochus and replace the calendar - creating the perfect segway for the Pharisees to finally take over the positions that influence Jewish religion and thought.
I guess the entire story can be summed in a few passages found in the book of Jubilees, a book which was censored and never entered into the compilation of the Old Testament.
Jubilees 6:32-38
And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts.
But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances.
And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years.
For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance.
For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon.
For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees.
For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.

The PLO's "Phased Plan"
http://www.iris.org.il/plophase.htm
Just a short video introducing the moderate PLO - that peace loving pacifist representative of the Palestinian People (though they did vote for the extreme Islamist party Hamas, but never mind that).
So, who are those moderate PLO dudes, who are so desperate of (not)-talking to Israel they go to the U.N. to get the recognition (which they kind of already have). And more importantly, what is it that they say about peace with Israel when they are not interviewed on soft sympathetic International news outlets? What is it that they are after? Peace? Or maybe something more sinister?
Well this quote should make it quite clear: "Peace is not a goal, it's a means"...
Enjoy some good old Middle East Peace of Shit

Well the Obama for all his faults said that the U.S. will veto any attempt to recognize a Palestinian state in the security council - this means that the only place a Palestinian state will be recognized is in the U.N.'s General Assembly using the "Uniting for Peace" resolution which allows the G.A. to declare non-binding declarations when the security council members fail to get to an understanding.
The problems of suddenly going to the U.N. are too numerous to count. First of all isn't it weird that the Palestinians will use as their grounds the two U.N. resolutions (resolution 181 and 242) that they have categorically dismissed in the past? And isn't weird that the same U.N. members that drafted those resolutions which called the sides to reach an agreement based on negotiations will suddenly endorse a side because he is unwilling to negotiate...
And what about all the open questions left un-negotiated like:
Economic Viability of "Palestine"; Gaza and Safe Passage; What Will Happen to Jewish Settlers; Terrorist Attacks and Non-State Actors; Regime Stability; Regional Shifts; Security Arrangements; Growing Power of Islam; Water Agreements; Electricity Provided By Israel; Palestinian Refugees; Border Controls and Customs; Buffer Zone; Will There Be Any More Demands; Fate of Current Joint Security Operations;

time consuming. I also started a summer semester in the Open University to get my BBA... also somewhat time consuming and I have little or no time left for my own which of course is
consumed by my wife...
BUT!
I can't leave you for such a long while without having this gaping hole in my stomach so I have a few videos I still owe you and a few ideas for new ones so why not let you decide which one
I'm going to go with. The options are:
1. The Great Fossil Challenge (week 6)
2. To Nuke Or Not to Nuke: Iran's Nuclear Program (pt2).
3. Modern Porn Clips - What the Fuck?
4. Arab Spring - Flourishing or Growing Wild?
5. Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind With a Creationist
6. Palestinian Black September -- The Sequel
And I'm also open to any other suggestion you might have in mind.
Peace, love and harmony,
Jonny.

Last week's fossil was Amphistium, which represents the transition toward modern family of fishes collectively called flatfishes.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/2008/07/09/dawn-of-the-picasso-fish
The clues for this week's fossil are:
A hominid race that lived from approximately 23 to 14 million years ago.
They weighed up to 70 Kg (though could be considerable smaller).
Their teeth suggests that they were probably fruit eaters.
their brains were as large or larger than contemporary Old World monkeys.

The answer for last week's fossil is: Maiacetus Inuus, a transitional fossil of an extinct whale with a near-term fetus still in her womb.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiacetus
This week's fossil clues are:
A transitional fossil
Discovered long ago but his true nature was uncovered thanks to modern equipment.
Long served as an example by creationists for something that "couldn't have evolved".
