It does not say much for the integrity of Huffington Post that I was not allowed to post an edited version of my response to a comment criticizing Jeff Gates' censored article on my own. That people's comments are allowed to remain on the blog without readers being allowed to judge the original article is Orwellian. I recall that the last time, a year or so ago, that I tried to post a comment to someone else's article, it, too, was censored. I will not waste my time doing it again. Will this comment be censored, as well?

It may be that circumlocution is used because he believes that using a code words and phrases like "Ashkenazi" and "citizen of Israel" allow him to use guilt by association and attack one ethnic group with racial slurs without using the word "Jew."

And "Ashkenazi population" should be "Ashkenazim."

"With an Ashkenazi population of less than two percent, eight of Russia's nine richest oligarchs qualified for Israeli citizenship."

Uh, why not just come out and say it was the "Eight Jew Bankers That Run The World"?

I mean, seriously, why the circumlocution?

Perhaps you are wondering why Huffington Post editors would post these scathing comments without allowing you to read the blog and draw your own conclusions. I urge that you direct your concerns to Huffington Post at blogteam@huffingtonpost.com.

I will post in a separate comment an observation on this defamatory behavior from Jeff Blankfort, one of a very few people to successfully sue the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. And, yes, Blankfort is Jewish and joins those outraged both at the behavior chronicled in this censored blog and at the behavior of the censors.

Blog editors may block this comment and thereby succeed in leaving readers with the impression that I am somehow an anti-Semite. That guilt-by-association technique is "deconstructed" in Guilt By Association (October 2008 release) in a chapter titled "The New Anti-Semitism." Noam Chomsky's comment on the evidentiary trail censored by Huffington Post: "Breathless just reading it." And, yes, Noam is Jewish.

The original blog ("All Too Familiar") now appears on the Criminal State website: http://www.criminalstatecom/blog/ An extended analysis on the topic of Larry Summers and his cadre of "Washington" consensus crooks appears in chapter five of Guilt By Association ("The Presidency and Russian Organized Crime").

This material continues Jeff Blankfort"s observations re the Huffington Post"s censorship of my original blog titled "All Too Familiar" now available on www.criminalstate.com

I should also note that there has never been an expose as to who was the major purchaser of the "blood diamonds" that fueled the bloody and endless wars in Africa and the silence in the media on that issue can be attributed to the very same reason your article was censored by Huffandpuff Post. Criticizing Jews collectively, or appearing to do so, is verboten, and those who have done it in the public sphere have found it to be a career changing if not ending decision.

The American public has so internalized this situation, at least publicly, that there was not a single politician or leading public figure who had the courage to stand up and ask what business or better what right has any U.S. president, presidential candidate or member of the U.S. government to pledge the lives and fortunes of the United States in behalf of a foreign country, namely Israel, and say that such commitment is sacrosanct and unbreakable.

Below is an observation from Jeff Blankfort, a Jewish commentator who joins other moderates concerned at the criminal conduct chronicled in the blog to which readers have been denied access by Huffington Post editors. In posting and then deleting the blog, editors justified their decision by saying it "seems straight out of "The International Jew"" " a publication unfamiliar to me until I was portrayed as guilty by that association.
Due to its length, I will break Blankfort"s comments into two pieces, not knowing whether either will make it through the editing process. Or, indeed, whether readers will ever see the original content rather than Huffington Post allowing you access only to these toxic smears.
Dear Jeff,

A few years back, the late Israeli historian and journalist, Tanya Reinhart, told a dinner audience at a Jewish Voice for Peace banquet, much to its discomfit, that what was happening today was the Protocols of the Elders of Zion come to life. In a talk I gave six or seven years ago, I said much the same thing. What happened in the former Soviet Union, designed by Larry Summers and crew, constituted probably the greatest theft of a nation's resources in modern times and yet I never read a word about this theft until I read your book.

Brilliant piece. Thank you.

I hope president elect Obama reads this article. Our nation needs real change beginning with a president who can read and comprehend what he is in fact reading - versus - the 'All to Familiar' inside the beltway players profiting from the misery of a people betrayed by a few within the few.

This continues the Blankfort commentary on the censored blog ("All Too Familiar"):

Under this protective cover, the American public is being robbed in broad daylight and the blog editor is just the latest accessory to the act although even he probably has no understanding of his role. I doubt, in fact, that the ADL was even called in on this. As I noted earlier, fear of criticizing Jews, as opposed to every other religious and ethnic group, collectively, has been internalized to the degree that he intuitively "knew" that your article was "beyond the pale" of what can be allowed in public expression.

I have not read Henry Ford's "The International Jew," although I have heard of it, but I would recommend anyone interested in the subject to go to the website of the American Jewish Committee which functions as the foreign policy arm of the Israel Lobby, where we find leaders of this powerful organization regularly meeting with the presidents, foreign ministers, and military officials of foreign states, all in behalf of Israel and, at the moment, urging these government to back a confrontation with Iran. Any other ethnic group conducting international diplomacy would be censured.

Keep up the good work, Jeff.
