When it comes to those pushing the idea of that sign, I suppose it's to even
up the odds.

^ Nakoula was subsequently jailed, and as of September 28, 2012, he faces up to
three years in prison for lying to federal probation officials regarding his role
in the making of the video.Following the violent reactions to the video, Nakoula and his family went into
hiding, and the Cerritos home is listed for sale.[2] His attorney has said he has
received threats to his safety.[10] On September 15, 2012, federal authorities
Nakoula in for an interview about possible probation violations related to the
film's distribution on the Internet.[35][36][37] On September 27, 2012, U.S.
federal authorities arrested Nakoula in Los Angeles charging eight counts of
probation violation.[38][10] Prosecutors stated that some of the violations in-
cluded making false statements regarding his role in the film and his use of the
alias "Sam Bacile".[39] None of the charges relate to his use of the Internet.
[10] Following a hearing before a judge, Nakoula was ordered to jail without bail
on September 27, 2012, with the judge citing probation violations including lying
to probation officials, "danger to the community", and "lack of trust in the de-
fendant".[40] He faces up to three years in prison.

"Do You Think 'Any' Jehovah`s Witness Understands The Concept Of Cognitive
Dissonance? Are They Capable Of Comprehending The Meaning?"Yes. Most things the JWs leaders cook up in their bid to be exclusive (spokes-
people of a literal 144,000) is obscure to most people, which I assume is
deliberate, and followers are, unsurprisingly, told to avoid critical (apostate)
material.It's like asking if Popoff's followers could understand that a radio receiver
could be in someone's ear. I consider them victims of liars, not idiots regard-
ing information presented to them. There is a dismaying lack of curiosity to re-
search distinctive policies at the library or Internet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Popoff#Exposed_as_a_fraud_by_James_RandiBotting, Heather; Gary Botting (1984). The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Wit-
nesses. University of Toronto Press. p. 90. ISBN 0-8020-6545-7. "Most Witnesses,
although capable of intelligent, reasonable thought, have as part of the payment
for paradise delegated authority to the organization for directing their lives...
and finally abrogate all responsibility and rights over their personal lives—in
effect, allowing the society to do their thinking for them."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses#cite_note-303The JWs leaders now allow a distant time for the creation of the Earth although
they teach intelligent design as proof of God. Again, the information revealing
the JWs leaders' mischaracterization of research material is (by intelligent de-
sign--booya) obscure to most people.I don't think the JWs leaders set a date for a literal Adam and Eve. I suppose
they still teach a literal great flood, but even realizing what's wrong with that
involves some research a lot of JWs just don't do.

"Also, what does 'occasinal eccentricity and abnormal attitudes" of Jehovah's
Witness have to do with this thread?""...in regard to the Anti-Islam Videographer’s First Amendment Right to Insult
Religion cited":Rutherford's JWs literature and sound trucks had very insulting politicized
religious propaganda about other religions and the US and other governments. He
was 'centric and intolerant but court cases about it favored his followers' free-
dom to be so.Likewise the "Innocence of Muslims" and Muslim homophobia and antisemitism and
anti-Western propaganda.All as abnormal and misguidedly insulting but set free as the thing sewn up in
Frankenstein's monster's head.I'm not sure what the "occasional eccentricity" is.

Antisemitism
Mein Kampf was significant in 1925 because it was an open source for the
presentation of Hitler's ideas about the state of the world. The book is
significant in our time because a retrospective review of the text reveals the
crystallisation of Hitler's decision to completely exterminate the Jewish
presence in Europe. While historians diverge on the exact date Hitler decided to
exterminate the Jewish people, few place the decision before the mid 1930s.
First published in 1925, Mein Kampf shows the ideas that crafted Hitler's
historical grievances and ambitions for creating a New Order.
The racial laws to which Hitler referred resonate directly with his ideas in
Mein Kampf. In his first edition of Mein Kampf, Hitler stated that the destruc-
tion of the weak and sick is far more humane than their protection. However,
apart from his allusion to humane treatment, Hitler saw a purpose in destroying
"the weak" in order to provide the proper space and purity for the strong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf#AntisemitismThe idea of the Northern origins of the Aryans was particularly influential in
Germany. It was widely believed that the "Vedic Aryans" were ethnically identical
to the Goths, Vandals and other ancient Germanic peoples of the Völkerwanderung.
This idea was often intertwined with antisemitic ideas. The distinctions between
the "Aryan" and "Semitic" peoples were based on the aforementioned linguistic and
ethnic history.
Semitic peoples came to be seen as a foreign presence within Aryan societies, and
the Semitic peoples were often pointed to as the cause of conversion and destruc-
tion of social order and values leading to culture and civilization's downfall by
proto-Nazi and Nazi theorists such as Houston Stewart Chamberlain and Alfred
Rosenberg.
According to the adherents to Ariosophy, the Aryan was a "master race" that
built a civilization that dominated the world from Atlantis about 10,000 years
ago. This alleged civilization declined when other parts of the world were colon-
ized after the 8000 BC destruction of Atlantis because the inferior races mixed
with the Aryans but it left traces of their civilization in Tibet (via Buddhism),
and even in Central America, South America, and Ancient Egypt. (The date of 8000
BC for the destruction of Atlantis in Ariosophy is 2,000 years later than the
date of 10,000 BC given for this event in Theosophy.) These theories affected
the more esotericist strand of Nazism.
A complete, highly speculative theory of Aryan and anti-Semitic history can be
found in Alfred Rosenberg's major work, The Myth of the Twentieth Century. Rosen-
berg's well-researched account of ancient history, melded with his racial specu-
lations, proved to be very effective in spreading racialism among German intel-
lectuals in the early twentieth century, especially after the First World War.
These and other ideas evolved into the Nazi use of the term "Aryan race" to re-
fer to what they saw as being a master race, which was narrowly defined by the
Nazis as being identical with the Nordic race, followed by other sub-races of the
Aryan race. They worked to maintain the purity of this race through eugenics
programs (including anti-miscegenation legislation, compulsory sterilization of
the mentally ill and the mentally deficient, the execution of the institutional-
ized mentally ill as part of a euthanasia program).
Heinrich Himmler (the Reichsführer of the SS), the person ordered by Adolf
Hitler to implement the Final Solution, or The Holocaust,[43] told his personal
masseur Felix Kersten that he always carried with him a copy of the ancient Aryan
scripture, the Bhagavad Gita because it relieved him of guilt about what he was
doing – he felt that like the warrior Arjuna, he was simply doing his duty with-
out attachment to his actions.[44]
Himmler was also interested in Buddhism and his institute Ahnenerbe sought to
mix some traditions from Hinduism and Buddhism[45] – Gautama Buddha's original
name for the religion we now call Buddhism was The Aryan Path.[46] Himmler sent
a 1939 German expedition to Tibet as part of his research into Aryan origins.
In 1936 biologists Julian Huxley and Alfred Court Haddon famously ridiculed the
Nazi idea of the superior Aryan race, writing:"Thus our German neighbors have ascribed to themselves a Teutonic type that is
fair, long-headed, tall, slender, unemotional, brave straightforward, gentle, and
virile. Let us make a composite picture of a typical Teuton from the most prom-
inent of the exponents of this view. Let him be physically as blond and mentally
as unemotional as Hitler, physically as long-headed and mentally as direct as
Rosenberg, as tall and truthful as Goebbels, as slender and gentle as Goering,
and as manly and straightforward as Streicher."
—"We Europeanse" p. 171
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race#Nazism_and_Neo-NazismNazism developed several theories concerning races. The Nazis claimed to
scientifically measure a strict hierarchy of human race; the "master race" was
said to be the most pure stock of the Aryan race, which was narrowly defined by
the Nazis as being identical with the Nordic race, followed by other sub-races of
the Aryan race.
At the bottom of this hierarchy were "parasitic" races (of non-"Aryan" origin)
or "Untermenschen" ("sub-humans"), which were perceived to be dangerous to socie-
ty. In Nazi literature, the term 'Untermensch' was applied to the Slavs (even
though the Slavs had been normally regarded by non-Nazis as one of the sub-races
of the Aryan race), especially including Russians, Serbs and ethnic Poles. Nazi
ideology viewed Slavs as a racially inferior group, who were fit for enslavement,
or even extermination.[2] About 2 million non-Jewish Poles were killed by Nazi
Germany.[3][4] Lowest of all in the Nazi racial policy were Gypsies and Jews,
who were both eventually deemed to be "Lebensunwertes Leben" ("Life unworthy of
life") and to be exterminated during the Holocaust (see Raul Hilberg's descrip-
tion of the various phases of the Holocaust). Not to be forgotten, Hitler did
have people of Jewish descent working for him. Coined as mischling (or 'Part-
Jews'), they were often employed in the Wehrmacht, although they were not allowed
to be soldiers after 1940. One mischling, Werner Goldberg, was even called "The
Ideal German Soldier" by German newspapers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism_and_raceIdeology and scale
In other genocides, pragmatic considerations such as control of territory and
resources were central to the genocide policy. Yehuda Bauer argues that:
The basic motivation [of the Holocaust] was purely ideological, rooted in an
illusionary world of Nazi imagination, where an international Jewish conspiracy
to control the world was opposed to a parallel Aryan quest. No genocide to date
had been based so completely on myths, on hallucinations, on abstract, nonprag-
matic ideology – which was then executed by very rational, pragmatic means.
