Subject: On the Obsession of Sam Sloan
|
In another thread Sam Sloan denied being obsessed with Susan Polgar
despite my mention of 8,000 references to her.
His response was that he previously was for her, but more recently
against.
Either way, and to contradict the Sloan, my estimate of his posting
rate is not 8,000 messages. That is merely the annual rate.
Consider:-
365 days * current rate at chess.misc @ 15 messages/day = 5,475.
Added to which are postings to other newsgroups such as a vietnam one,
an alt legal one, a hungarian one, plus his own site and his 'own'
newsgroup fide.chess, then there is/was the USCF forum to which Sloan
is/was banned.
That alone should easily cover 8,000 posts/year at a conservative
estimate.
OK - them are the facts - also factual is that despite these 8,000
posts per year [unwanted pro, recently con] that the Sloan thinks he
is not obsessed by Susan Polgar, and her husband, and etc.
What, sober people may ask, therefore constitutes an obsession? The
Sloan denies that 8,000 posts/year is an indicator of that, which
itself is an indicator of his usage of normal terms.
This too, should be assessed as a measure of the Sloan for his
political and/or other ambitions. Certainly anyone reviewing either
circumstance should be aware of these facts - the 8,000 per year
mentions, and the denial that this is [for good, bad or whatever] any
obsession.

Obsession

A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Disarm Fear-Mongering: Muslims are at Peace
With You
Fatemah Kashevarz
Counterpunch
September 16, 2008
If you have received a hair-raising �documentary� called Obsession in
the mail this weekend, you are not a chosen surprise winner, or the
recipient of a kind anonymous t. You belong to a sought after group
of people: the residents of a swing state estimated to be an undecided
voter. The film is supposed to convince you that your country is at war
with the majority of Muslims who are willing to conquer America, kill or
convert you, and establish a fascist empire. If you watch the film by
yourself, and have no way of evaluating its content, chances are you
will be convinced. Rather, you will be terrified�

Muslim group seeks probe of �radical Islam� DVD
Eric Gorski
AP
September 23, 2008
A U.S. Muslim advocacy group Tuesday asked the Federal Election
Commission to investigate whether a nonprofit group that distributed a
controversial DVD about Islam in newspapers nationwide is a �front� for
an Israel-based group with a stealth goal of helping Republican
presidential candidate John McCain�
three
Short Cuts
Adam Shatz
London Review of Books
October 1, 2008
If you live in an American swing state you may have received a copy of
Obsession in your Sunday paper. �Obsession� isn�t a perfume: it�s a
documentary about �radical Islam�s war against the West�. In the last
two weeks of September, 28 million copies of the film were enclosed as
an advertising supplement in 74 newspapers, including the New York Times
and the Chronicle of Higher Education. �The threat of Radical Islam is
the most important issue facing us today,� the sleeve announces. �It�s
our responsibility to ensure we can make an informed vote in November.�
The Clarion Fund, the supplement�s sponsor, doesn�t explicitly endorse
McCain, so as not to jeopardise its tax-exempt status, but the message
is clear enough, and its circulation just happened to coincide with
Obama�s leap in the polls.
The Clarion Fund is a front for neoconservative and Israeli pressure
groups. It has an office, or at least an address, in Manhattan at Grace
Corporate Park Executive Suites, which rents out �virtual office
identity packages� for $75 a month. Its website, clarionfund.org,
provides neither a list of staff nor a board of directors, and the group
still hasn�t disclosed where it gets its money, as required by the IRS.
Who paid to make Obsession isn�t clear � it cost $400,000. According to
Rabbi Raphael Shore, the film�s Canadian-Israeli producer, 80 per cent
of the money came from the executive producer �Peter Mier�, but that�s
just an alias, as is the name of the film�s production manager, �Brett
Halperin�. Shore claims �Mier� and �Halperin�, whoever they are, are
simply taking precautions, though it isn�t clear against what. The
danger (whatever it is) hasn�t stopped Shore � or the director, Wayne
Kopping, a South African neocon � from going on television to promote
their work.
The 60-minute film was first released in 2006 and shown during the
mid-term elections on Fox News. Since then it has received top billing
at �Islamo-Fascism Awareness� week on American campuses, at
Christian-Zionist conferences and at events organised by Republican
politicians in Florida. It has found a powerful backer in the real
estate magnate Sheldon Adelson, who describes himself as �the world�s
richest Jew�. The Endowment for Middle East Truth, a neoconservative
think tank in Washington DC which recently hosted a series of seminars
named after Adelson and his wife, arranged distribution of Obsession, at
a cost in the tens of millions.
The makers of the film, like their subjects, are soldiers of God. Almost
everyone associated with it or with Clarion has worked for Aish HaTorah,
an �education� group with offices in East Jerusalem and strong links to
the settler movement. Clarion was incorporated in Delaware to the New
York offices of Aish HaTorah and Rabbi Shore was the director, as well
as the founder of its media organisation, Honest Reporting, which
campaigns against a two-state solution in Israel/Palestine. It�s illegal
in the US for nonprofit organisations, or for foreign nationals, to try
to influence the outcome of an election.
The film�s chief claim is that 2008 is like 1938, only worse, since
there are more Muslims than Germans and they�re more spread out
geographically: �They�re not outside our borders, they are here.�
Violent raptures and spectacular carnage unfold in slick montages set to
throbbing Middle Eastern music: Pakistanis deliriously burning the
American flag, Palestinians celebrating the 9/11 attacks, Hizbullah
chanting �death to America�, clerics praising the �magnificent 19� and
the murder of unbelievers, children training to become suicide bombers,
the planes crashing into the towers. These images are interspersed with
footage of Nazi rallies and Hitler�s speeches. A chapter � narrated by
Martin Gilbert, Churchill�s biographer � is devoted to the Mufti�s
collaboration with Hitler.
Scary Muslims are everywhere, and the umma stands more united than ever,
driven by hatred of infidels and Jews and determined to conquer the
West, a civilisation gone soft, weakened by self-doubt, political
correctness bordering on treason, and, worst of all, a �culture of
denial�. Gilbert spells it out:
In the 1930s, the danger of Nazism was there . . . but people thought,
well, this is a German problem, it�s a limited problem . . . And I think
the same is true today . . . They don�t see that Islamic fundamentalism
is a global network and a global problem . . .because if you come to
that conclusion � and I�m sure it�s the true conclusion � then you have
to do something about it.
Obsession doesn�t say what we should do � except steer well clear of
dialogue and negotiation.
Although there are interviews with the usual �terrorism experts� �
Daniel Pipes, Alan Dershowitz et al � the film�s portrayal of the region
is mostly left to native informants like Nonie Darwish (a leader of
Arabs for Israel and the daughter of a slain fighter from Gaza),
Brigitte Gabriel (the Lebanese-Christian author of They Must Be Stopped)
and Walid Shoebat, a �former PLO terrorist� who operates under a
pseudonym � for security reasons, of course. Shoebat runs the Walid
Shoebat Foundation, described on its website as an �organisation that
cries out for the Justice of Israel and the Jewish people�. He�s made a
career of recounting his journey from Islamic terror to Christian
Zionism before audiences at Evangelical gatherings and the US Air Force
Academy. It�s not clear, though, that he ever laid a hand on anyone.
According to a relative, �the biggest act of terror he ever committed
was to glue Palestinian flags on street posts.� What is very clear is
that, for the makers of Obsession, having once hated Jews gives you
privileged access to the Muslim mind, and not only if you�re an
ex-Muslim. Among the film�s authorities on radical Islam is a former
leader of the Hitler Youth, Alfons Heck, who says that �what the Muslims
do to their own children is even worse� than the things the Nazis did to
young Germans � as only a Nazi could know.
If you didn�t receive Obsession with your paper, you can watch it on
YouTube. It�s been posted by a former Muslim whose screen identity is
�fuckmohammad�.

I�m worried about showing my bum in new movie, admits Eva Mendes
John Dingwall
Glasgow Daily Record
October 9, 2008
THIS is the rear view that has been giving Eva Mendes sleepless nights
ahead of the premiere of her latest movie. The actress bares her bum in
the adaptation of Will Eisner�s 1940s comic book The Spirit. Eva
admitted stripping for her role as cat burglar Sand Saref made her
nervous. She said: �I�m excited to see what happens with this scene.
Well, I don�t think it�s �excited� - I�m actually nervous. I think they
have a butt shot of me. I�m not sure how it ended up.� The movie is the
story of a rookie cop, played by Gabriel Macht, who returns from the
dead as the Spirit to fight crime. Eva was persuaded to reveal her bum
cheeks by the film�s director Frank Miller, the man behind Sin City and
300. She said: �I really trusted Frank. We�ll see how that one turns
out. The movie looks spectacular. I play a jewel thief who�s been
married 15 times and has killed each and every one of her husbands. When
do you get to play that?� Eva�s nude scene follows her controversial
raunchy ad for Calvin Klein�s Secret Obsession perfume. It featured her
rolling around semi-naked in bed and was banned in the US.

I�m trying to spread the word about Obsession, so thanks for posting the
videos. I saw it a few years ago when it first came out, and I gotta
tell you, the claim that it�s some sort of �hate-speech� DVD is bogus.
It�s incredibly fair to the Muslim faith - even has a disclaimer noting
that the film is focusing only on those radicals and extremists
determined to destroy the West - and it�s certainly worth a watch. It�s
a serious issue that cannot be ignored.

I�m trying to spread the word about The Jew, so thanks for posting your
comment. I saw one a few years ago when I went out on the town, and I
gotta tell you, the claim that it�s some sort of �hate-speech� to worry
about Them is bogus. The Nazis were incredibly fair to The Jew - they
even claimed to focus only on those radicals and extremists determined
to destroy the West - and it�s certainly worth keeping an eye on
subversives. It�s a serious issue that cannot be ignored.

Note to Dr. and Mr. IMnes: I fired NB a good while
back. All this work he is now doing is /pro bono/.

How can a Web link end with ".."? And more
important, why are you reading about slackful
bastards, hmm...?

Er, I will adopt this "correct" spelling if an
unquestionable authority proclaims that this is
the one and only correct spelling; I know what
you're thinking, but Mr. Keene is much too
busy to be bothered with such things. That
leaves only Wikipedia.org-- which whiffs on
my spelling, and gets a home run on yours.
Therefore, I stand corrected.
This just goes to show how little I know
about the more bizarre forms of mental illness,
induced by drugs, as in the Dr. IMnes case.
Now, as for Mr. Brennen's obsession, one
notes that he seems to enjoy heckling just
one particular chap, and as such he cannot
be deemed deeply insane, as with Mr. Hyde-
IMnes, PhD.
Note how Dr. IMnes exibits his "very
peculiar" behavior, no matter whom he may
be conversing with. Also note that subject
NB does not seem to display any signs of
multiple personality disorder, while the good
doctor IMnes-Jeckyll does.
To sum up, this NB fellow is hardly worth
our time-- he is just a /weirdo/, not a true
lunatic. OTOH, Mr. Innes the 2450-rated
nearly an IM who also believes himself to
be a scholar of some note in "the Andean
language", is a worthy subject-- right up
there with Hannibal Lector and Bobby
Fischer.

A quick look at Mr. Sloan's obsession with SP
reveals that, much like an irate poodle, Dr. IMnes
counter-attacks (i.e. yaps at) Mr. Sloan about as
often as SS obsesses over SP.
But far more disturbing is the way in which the
good doctor compulsively "attacks" everyone
who does not blindly agree with his multitudinous
opinions, often angrily cussing and slobering and
spitting at them; at the same time, we are treated
to Dr. IMnes' tirades on the behavior of "others",
who he opines do not display the proper respect
to those who do not agree with /them/.
The obvious conclusion is that there is not one,
but two Phil Innes: a Dr. Jeckyl and a Mr. Hyde.
Neither seems aware of what the other has
posted here, so they frequently contradict one
another, lending the impression that Mr. Innes
is a lunatic. In reality, they are a perfectly
rational man; no, make that: they is a perfectly
rational, er, no; let's just say that I hope the
two of them can get along, since they are kind
of stuck together-- married to one another, if
you will. Hopefully, the formula which induced
this psychic schism has been destroyed... .
