Just wondering... Also, one thing no one has mentioned is the danger involved for the guy when a lady asks for rough sex--who's to say she won't claim he raped her?  And it will be his word against her word and bruises/scratches/neighbors' testimony to the cries of "no, really!  STOP STOP!"  Oh well, til next time, elephant the 9/11 coverup!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">espada</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 29 Mar 2008 21:31:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Nights and Mornings</title><link>http://sexandtheivy.com/2008/03/21/nights-and-mornings/#comment-252374</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I used to have a lot more sex when I was depressed.  Well let's just say I used to be depressed and I used to have sex.  Anyway, yes, this is quite good, though sometimes words like ass and crotch are just a little jarring in the middle of the more sensitive prose, and not in any particularly interesting way.  Surely there is a market for sex writers who can avoid "cheap" sex words--have you ever tried to see how raunchy you can write without any of the usual terms?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdzel3uU8Zs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdzel3uU8Zs"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watc...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oops, sorry don't know how that link got there, my bad!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">espada</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:21:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Exhaustion</title><link>http://sexandtheivy.com/2008/03/13/exhaustion/#comment-233528</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone!  Again I see all my posts have been deleted, though this kooky Fatima Kartoon person is clogging up the internets with many a rant about those evil arab muslim terrists.  To see my posts which were deleted, just click here: &lt;a href="http://www.wtcdemolition.com/crimsoncrimes.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.wtcdemolition.com/crimsoncrimes.pdf"&gt;http://www.wtcdemolition.co...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pretty much everyone by now knows that the information presented by these 300 licensed architects and engineers is absolutely correct: &lt;a href="http://ae911truth.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="ae911truth.org"&gt;ae911truth.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What everyone should also know is that the Crimson is determined to prevent these issues from being discussed.  This is quite a serious problem, since those making that decision cannot possibly be so ignorant as to share the opinions of the (alleged) muslim poster AFK that, for example, Howard Zinn is wrong in saying that the issue deserves serious attention (as in his recommendation of Prof David Griffin's book Debunking 9/11 Debunking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the Crimson is apparently thus compromised, and responsible adults are not stepping forward, I see no choice but to further clarify for everyone what is happening here.  The truth about 9/11 is that it was an attack against America designed to falsely implcate arab muslims so as to align Americans' perceived interests with those of Israel.  It was most likely carried out by a) neocon fanatics in the Bush administration (not Bush himself) b) private sector New York Zionists including Lawrence Silverstein (the main financial beneficiary of the demolition of the complex which he leased 6 weeks before its destruction and c) elements of the Israeli military and intelligence agencies (google the "dancing israelis", 5 Israeli agents arrested in New York on 9/11 after being caught celebrating and snapping photos of the burning towers.)  These agents, identified by the FBI as Mossad agents working for a Mossad front, a moving company whose owner fled to Israel before he could be arrested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shamefully, the editors of the Crimson believe that it is proper to squelch all of this information because it will no doubt be the last straw for American support of the illegal state of Israel (because apparently constant espionage and attacks like that on the USS Liberty aren't enough) and will reveal the fact (being reinforced daily by the Crimson) that those who support Israel do so in blind disregard of the best interests of the United States and of peace around the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other thing they are doing is deliberately trying to channel well-meaning activists into causes like the "stop genocide in Darfur" campaign that are safe because of course the targets are, you guessed it, evil muslims!  The antiwar movement at Harvard is similarly dedicated to steering interested parties away from facts that put the lie to the islamofascist myth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While many are no doubt just following the example set by their leaders and role models, plenty of the people involved in this anti-arab and anti-muslim campaign are fully aware of what they're doing, lying to their peers in a vain and doomed attempt to prevent their awakening to the ugly reality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly this time will go down as one of the most shameful chapters in the history of Harvard, America, and the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">espada</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:28:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: The Adhan at Harvard</title><link>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=522499#comment-228070</link><description>&lt;p&gt;OK "Aani", if you're right and I'm wrong, why are you anonymous while I am open about who I am?

That's almost as bad as Meir Kahane and Baruch Goldstein!  Here's what those awful haters at the Council on Foreign Relations have to say about them...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/9178/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.cfr.org/publication/9178/"&gt;http://www.cfr.org/publicat...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are Kach and Kahane Chai?&lt;br&gt;Two marginal Israeli groups that have used terrorism to pursue their goals of expanding Jewish rule across the West Bank and expelling the Palestinians. Both groups grew out of the anti-Arab teachings of Rabbi Meir Kahane, an American-born extremist who founded and led Kach (its name means “thus” in Hebrew) until he was assassinated inNew York in 1990. Israel outlawed Kach and its offshoot Kahane Chai (“Kahane Lives”) in 1994, a month after a Kach supporter shot and killed twenty-nine Muslim worshipers at a West Bankmosque. Experts say Kahanist leaders in Israelhave steered clear of terrorism recently in hopes of getting Israel to lift the ban on the two groups, but Israeli authorities continue to regard Jewish extremists as a potential terrorist threat. The State Department lists Kach and Kahane Chai as foreign terrorist organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What terrorist attacks have been associated with Kach and Kahane Chai?&lt;br&gt;The deadliest came in February 1994, shortly after the signing of the Oslo peace accords between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) when Baruch Goldstein, a Brooklyn-born doctor and Kach supporter, opened fire with a machine gun inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. He killed twenty-nine people and wounded dozens more before he was himself killed. Goldstein chose to attack at a particularly sensitive religious site; the mosque is built atop the Cave of the Patriarchs, where, according to both Jewish and Muslim traditions, the prophet Abraham and his family are buried.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kahanists have also shot, stabbed, and thrown grenades at Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank. In cases where Kach and Kahane Chai have not themselves claimed responsibility for anti-Arab attacks, Kahane and his followers have declined to condemn such violence and have often glorified it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Machteret—a 1980s Jewish underground terror group with links to Kach—staged several attacks, including an unsuccessful May 1980 campaign to kill several Palestinian mayors, before being broken up. Israeli authorities also foiled the Machteret’s plans to blow up Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque, which is built atop the contested holy site known by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the TempleMount. Destroying the mosque, experts say, could provoke a massive Middle Eastern conflict.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How big are Kach and Kahane Chai?&lt;br&gt;Recent reports say Kach and Kahane Chai have an overlapping core membership of several dozen as well as a larger number—perhaps several hundred—of less committed supporters that includes both native-born Israelis and radicalized immigrants from the United States and elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where do Kach and Kahane Chai operate?&lt;br&gt;In Israel and the West Bank . Two West Bank settlements—Kiryat Arba, near Hebron , and Tapuach—are thought to be the cradles of Kahanist support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have Kach and Kahane Chai been active in the current Israeli-Palestinian violence?&lt;br&gt;Kach has been suspected of a number of low-level attacks since the start of the al-Asqa intifada in 2000. But the extent of their involvement is unclear. Neither group has claimed responsibility for any of the anti-Arab bomb plots or the more common roadside shootings of Palestinians by Israeli extremists. Nor have Israeli authorities yet proved any Kach or Kahane Chai connection to these attacks. In April 2002, Israeli police arrested a former Kach spokesman in connection with an attempt to leave an explosive-packed trailer outside a Palestinian girls’ school and hospital in East Jerusalem, but experts say the plot was arranged by individuals affiliated with another Jewish extremist group that is not affiliated with Kach or Kahane Chai.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the August 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, angry settlers protesting the withdrawal— and in some instances, resorting to violence—were reportedly associated with Kach and Kahane Chai.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who was Meir Kahane?&lt;br&gt;Martin David Kahane was born in 1932 in Brooklyn , New York . As a teenager, he joined Betar, a quasi-military youth group affiliated with the Revisionist Zionist movement, which sought a Jewish state in all of British-ruled Palestine . In 1968, Kahane, who trained as a lawyer and rabbi, formed the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a militant group that promoted Jewish vigilantism and urged American Jews to arm themselves under the slogan “every Jew a .22.” Putatively organized to combat African-American anti-Semitism, the JDL went on to target the offices and representatives of Soviet-bloc nations, the PLO, Arab states, and Jewish organizations it saw as moderate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the best part of course...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gravesite and commemoration&lt;br&gt;Goldstein is buried at the Meir Kahane Memorial Park in Kiryat Arba, a Jewish settlement next to Hebron. The park is named in memory of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Israeli far-right political party Kach, a group classified by the United States and Israeli governments as a terrorist organization. Goldstein was a long-time devotee of Kahane.[17]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The gravesite has become a pilgrimage site for those with extreme right-wing political views; a plaque near the grave reads "To the holy Baruch Goldstein, who gave his life for the Jewish people, the Torah and the nation of Israel." In 2000, admirers gathered at his grave on Purim dressed as Goldstein, wearing lab coats, false beards, and carrying guns.[18] Between the killings and 2000, an estimated 10,000 people have visited the grave.[19] Members of the Labor Party called for the shrine-like landscaped prayer area near the grave to be removed, and Israeli security officials have expressed concern that the grave will encourage extremists.[20]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Goldstein" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Goldstein"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">espada</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:19:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Would I Date Me?</title><link>http://sexandtheivy.com/2008/02/26/would-i-date-me/#comment-200939</link><description>&lt;p&gt;sigh... try being the bearer of shocking and little known facts like the truth about 9/11!  talk about detractors.  talk about baggage that someone you just met is probably NOT going to take well!  you don't know the half of it sister.  conservatives think I suck because they think I'm accusing Bush of masterminding 9/11 (as if), liberals accuse me of being a secret right wing saboteur of the political left, jews think i want to gas them, muslims think I'm CIA trying to entrap them, hell--the only people who still like me are gay men who could care less what I'm into so long as they can get in my pants.  when people finally realize that I've been right all along and that instead of being a crazy nut I'm actually a crazy genius, well, I can only presume that people will resent my prescience.  I've taken to reading Ecce Homo, Nietzsche's incredibly self-aggrandizing philosophical autobiography written at the onset of his syphillitic insanity to console myself.  I recommend it to all who find themselves ahead of their time...  now, as to whether your blog is worth the trouble, I would say probably not.  try something new and totally different--you're too young to be in a rut..&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">espada</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:44:37 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
