Conspiracy- as a shadow.

Submitted by Ynna (United States), Feb 25, 2007 at 01:40

I'm pretty new in this country and to this culture, and have been in touch with Dr. Pipes' work since 2003, having not heard about him before coming to America. but one thing that strikes me is that, every time an Islamists or a cheap leftists or a false progressive liberal speaks about Dr. Pipes, somehow, with the clear intention of denigrating him, his work and his legacy, his enemies struggle to put on him an "Aura" of mystery, conspiracy, etc...

Having worked in the Drama-Musical environment, sometimes I almost "smell: and listen parts of Mussorgsky or Richard Wagner in my mind, when ones pictures Dr. Pipes as the "master" of the darkness.

A couple of months ago, I even read a person criticizing his links with the Council of Foreign Relations as if he belongs to any controlling cluster of the American Government, pupeteeing the entire world, along with the Federal Reserve.

Have no words to denominate these "reporters" and these State Officials so incompetents.

CONSPIRACY. No such thing according to this author. Let's remove it from the Dictionary, August 18, 2006

Reviewer: Minn-e-sota (heart of the vikings in the new world) - See all my reviews

This book is incredible! This author "poo-poos" any idea of Conspiracy as if it's in our deep inner mind. Just notice he equates it with "Paranoid". Does he think Bin Laden and his gang "conspired"? Well if you read one of Mr. Pipes other books, he certainly believes that, so I guess we can say he's paranoid. Conspiracies most likely are natural and normal, an abscence of conspiracy would be contrary to how individuals, nations and institutions work. Mr. Pipes ought to know that well. He's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization which was founded by J.P. Morgan and has ties to the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a private bank: not Federal but a cabal of private bankers serving their own best interests. You can't join the CFR on your own--you must be invited! It's a club of the elite, by the elite for the elite. Every high ranking member of the Bush Admin is CFR: Hayden, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, Paulson, Snow, etc, etc, also so is Ms. Clinton and many other ruling Democrats. Is this a coincidence, hardly! Compare Mr. Pipes book to Tim Carney's "The Big Ripoff", recently hosted on CSPAN book reviews and available on Amzaon. Tim gets close to the target by seeing the symptoms. Mr. Pipes writing of this book is highly suspect. One has to question his motives. It's like the Big Bad Wolf writing a book: How to Raise Chickens in a Hen House and Keep Them Safe. You would be better reading G. Edward Griffin's book: Creature from Jekyll Island-a second look at the Federal Reserve. (One Star).
