As suspected, and claimed on this blog over the weekend, the inflammatory anti-Muslim cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten were a deliberate provocation designed to outrage and incite Muslims and thus engender support in Europe and America for the manufactured “clash of civilizations” engineered by the Straussian neocons.

same danish paper refused to publish Jesus cartoons for fear of an outcry

Flemming Rose and the Straussian Art of Provocation

As suspected, and claimed on this blog over the weekend, the inflammatory anti-Muslim cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten were a deliberate provocation designed to outrage and incite Muslims and thus engender support in Europe and America for the manufactured “clash of civilizations” engineered by the Straussian neocons. As Christopher Bollyn writes for the American Free Press, the neocon operative behind the cartoon scheme is Flemming Rose, cultural editor of Jyllands-Posten, who has “has clear ties to the Zionist Neo-Cons.” Rose “traveled to Philadelphia in October 2004 to visit Daniel Pipes, the Neo-Con ideologue who says the only path to Middle East peace will come through a total Israeli military victory. Rose then penned a positive article about Pipes, who compares ‘militant Islam’ with fascism and communism,” Bollyn reveals.

Daniel Pipes is one of the more virulent and hateful of the Straussian neocons, famous for his racist and xenophobic statement that Muslim immigrants are “brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and not exactly maintaining Germanic standards of hygiene,” an attitude straight out of the Nazi school of racial hyperbole (a philosophy embraced by no small number of Jabotinsky Likudites and their fellow travelers among the traitorous Straussian neocons).

Same danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons:

In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.

Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."

There has been a 'war' on for the last few years - 'The War Against Terrorism'. Some of those responsible for the ill-feted rag have gone to the U.S. during this time. Is that suspicious behaviour or what one might expect from a newspaper that features 'world' news?
Regarding the Jesus bashing story, more evidence is needed to back up the hearsay. Can we have the original email from the paper and a few scans of the Christian bashing cartoons, please?
This could be very important. There is no doubt about the intention of the cartoons, however, did the Danes conceive and implement the idea all by themselves? This is a precedent for them.
Like most newspapers the Danish rag carries syndicated cartoons. Some of these are from the syndicate cagle.com. Cagle is a cartoonist as well as being in the syndication business. With the imfamous rag carrying his cartoons as well as those syndicated another area of investigation presents itself. The Danes cannot be that good at cartoons if their major newspaper has to go to America for them. Maybe Danes are not that good at racist cartoons and perhaps an outsider, maybe looking to recruit far-right-wing cartooonists, presented the idea. However, the legend for the story is very big on insisting that the replies were from definitely Danish cartoonists. It is unlikely that you will be able to spot the hand of a syndicated cartoonist behind any of the offerings as presented, however you might want to check out the cagle cartoons. Xenophobic? Make your own mind up, and think how many Americans 'read' this stuff.
It might be a tad 'conspiracy theorist' to dare to suggest that the Danish rag was a sucker for a U.S. psy-op, however, the news has had more than its fair share of tales about the Pentagon's psychological warfare, played out with propaganda in foreign lands, and how they might get to be learned of back home, recently?
It is pleasing to see that the Indymedia wire has not gone with the story like how mainstream media magically has. But what of those people in Afghanistan? Were they mopped up anyway, with the media covering thje cover story - that they were getting uppity about a few cartoons and just had to go?
Anyway, whatever happened to 50 cent and why hasn't the mainstream media covered the story? It is 'The Raiders' all over again - were they trying to re-live the b-movie for real?
