Response to the anti-American loon Alex Constantine

By Benyamin Solomon
This post is dedicated to the Alex Constantine wackos who promote ridiculous conspiracy theories. 
I read a post by Alex Constantine who claims that his wikipedia entry has been vandalized. I think that his Wikipedia entry is too supportive of him since it claims that he is an investigative journalist. Alex believes that his opponents including all those who love our great nation America are fascists and claims that he researches Fascism. Dear Alex, let me say this. I think your "research" on Fascism is crap. His "research" slandered me and charged me with calling liberals Nazis and with calling the political left a "front for Nazis." As "proof" he cited my article, "Who are the real Nazis." Yet any sane person who read it will know that in that article I did not call liberals Nazis nor did I call the political left a "front for nazis." In fact, I never made those claims. Alex Constantine calls me a Fascist and a Nazi, starting with that same post where he throws in a bunch of stupid insults. I am a strong anti-Nazi and an anti-Fascist. Alex Constantine falsely charged me with being genocidal, yet there's no evidence to back it up. No amount of research can provide even a little spec of evidence that those charges are true, plus I already debunked them. 
Alex Constantine complains that:
In fact, I research fascism, which is inherently conspiratorial (fitting example). Every day that passes confirms that I am not a "theorist." And since I'm diligent about fact-checking, I cannot be attacked for getting something wrong. So the bad guys, usually fascists, get personal and invent facts to subvert my efforts. This is expected and is as consequential as a spitball - as time goes on my work is, as I say, confirmed by emergent events and news reports.
      
Alex doesn't "research" Fascism. If this crazy nutcase bothered to "fact check" he'd know that I oppose Fascism. In Alex's world, we're the bad guys because we expose the truth about Alex Constantine. Because we don't "admit" to Alex's slanderous lies like his claims that we're Fascists and Nazis, essentially for standing for America, then we're the bad guys. Alex, the people who refute you are not Fascists, not Nazis and not any slanderous lie you claim they are. I strongly oppose Fascism, in fact I never said a word in favor of Fascism, and yet I'm refuting Alex Constantine. Alex claims that his claims are backed "by emergent events and news reports." There is no event nor any good news report where I called liberals Nazis. There isn't a spec of evidence that I did. I disagree with the political left including liberals. But I don't consider them Nazis. In fact, I never even heard of Alex Constantine until I saw that post of him claiming that I called liberals Nazis and that I called the left a "front for Nazis." That's the first time I heard of Alex Constantine. So it's really the other way around. I'm the real researcher. It's Alex whose trying to subvert my efforts at exposing the facts with his slanderous charges against me, none of which have a spec of evidence behind it. Many of the things Alex accuses us of being, he is himself [I'm not calling Alex a Fascist, Nazi nor Genocidal]. 
Alex claims that:
The defamatory lies will diminish with the screams of America's victims. They always have. And fascism will fall, probably in my lifetime. Too bad for my detractors, like poor Benyamin, who relies on malicious lies when he can't win an honest argument ... a favorite but increasingly ineffective tactic of the far-right.
These so-called lies that "Fascists" like me are spewing "will diminish with the scream of America's victims" who are unnamed. That's the world that Alex Constantine wants us to believe. By the way Alex, I don't rely on malicious lies, but on actual facts for my writings. Malicious lies is not a "favorite tactic" "of the far-right." 
The one who really is spewing lies is Alex Constantine, not us. 
Alex Constantine claims that:
My Wikipedia entry has been maliciously rewritten - most likely by "Benjamin Solomon," the "Super-Zionist" wingnut who claims that liberals are in bed with communist "totalitarians" and give aid and comfort to bin Laden. If not Benyamin, some other "conservative" with a grudge. For the record, I've never "spent time in institutions" or "taken LSD." (I did make a self-deprecating joke once about about taking LSD to "explain" why I couldn't remember a name, and someone told someone else ... It was taken seriously, reported on the Internet by goons, joyously repeated by trolls. In fact I've always been outspoken in opposition - at this blog and elsewhere - to LSD.) And I've never "written letters to many journals including LA Weekly," etc.

Alex claims that I "give aid and confort to Bin Ladin." That is a very slanderous claim by Alex Constantine. A centeral theme in my works is my fierce opposition to the radical Islamic movement. Bin Ladin is one of the leaders of that movement. In fact, my political career is dedicated to fighting the threat of radical Islam. Me giving "aid and confort to Bin Ladin" will surely sound ridiculous to anybody who read my articles that condemns radical Islam or even heard me say a word about the threat from Islamism. I fiercely oppose Bin Ladin. What I said about Al Qaeda and Bin Ladin has been nothing but presenting them as bloodthirsty terrorists who seek to impose their backward interpretation of Islam on the world. Bin Ladin is a radical Islamic killer, who made a Fatwa calling for the killing of all Americans. The fatwa says:
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God."

Osama Bin Ladin said:
I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is no god but Allah, and his prophet Muhammad.  
I oppose radical Islam and am all for fighting against Al Qaeda and its leader Bin Ladin. I support America and its goal of spreading freedom and democracy. I support democracy and freedom, as I repeatedly stated. As part of my "aid and confort to Bin Laden" I stated that:

Should America bomb Al Quada bases and do its best to prevent an Islamist takeover of Pakistan? Yes. 
Why would I, a patriotic freedom-loving democracy-supporting American "give aid and comfort" to a radical Islamic terrorist leader like Bin Laden? My political career, as I said, is dedicated to fighting the threat of radical Islam. I seek to educate people on that threat. Bin Ladin is among that threat. So yes, I condemn Bin Laden. I don't know where the "diligent about fact checking" Alex Constantine got the claim that I "give aid and comfort to Bin Laden". But it must be part of his slanderous campaign against me. Part of my problem with the Syrian opposition group the National Salvation Front [NSF] was that the main group of it [until recently] was the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood which has ties to Al Qaeda and which collaborated with Al Qaeda in setting up a radical Islamic terrorist network in Hamburg, Germany [that article in the last hyperlink was written by me and cut and pasted by the heroic Reform Party of Syria].
Alex Constantine's hyperlink to calling me a "super Zionist" is not to my Israel-insider profile, where I said that, but to an anti-Israel propaganda article by the leading Pallywood propagandists Ali Abunimah, who leads the Pallywood pro-terrorist group Electronic Intifada [EI], which published an article idolizing George Habash, the founder and first leader of the PFLP [Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine], and which seeks to impose anti-Israel control on wikipedia. That article published by EI attacks the NY Times for correctly calling Habash a "terrorist technician", even though that article admits that Habash's group the PFLP was responsible for airplane hijackings. Habash was a terrorist leader who, like the rest of the PFLP, fought to destroy Israel and impose Communist tyranny on the Middle East. Habash vowed to "teach the US a lesson," called America "our enemy" and stated that:
If [it] is the only way to destroy Israel, Zionism and Arab reaction, then we want WWIII to come. 
Habash and the PFLP [the PFLP was and is a PLO faction] helped the PLO bring in international terrorism to the scene, trained other Communist terrorists [the rest of the PLO also trained Communist terrorists] and supported the PLO in seeking to turn Jordan and Lebanon into a terrorist base to fight Israel. 
Ali Abunimah wrote a book called "one Country," which calls for destroying Israel by turning the holy land into a "binational state" and supports the right of return, which demographically destroys Israel. Abunimah also spews Hamas propaganda and puts a human face to Hamas. He cries for Hamas whenever the US, EU or Israel condemns this radical Islamic terrorist group, as seen from the article he written that's cut and pasted right on the link that's the hyperlink when he puts super Zionist in quotation marks. 
Yes, I'm a "super-Zionist." Zionism is a liberation movement for the Jewish people that reestablished Israel, one of the only democracies in the Middle East. The Jewish settlers rebuilt the holy land. Before the Jewish settlers came, Mark Twain came and said that it was the prince of all the dismal places. I'm an American Jew. As a Jew, I support Zionism, which rescued persecuted Jews and gave them a homeland, which is a free democracy in the land of tyranny. 
I'd like to point out to Alex Constantine that how can I give "aid and comfort" to bin Ladin if I'm a "super-Zionist?" Bin Laden is a radical Islamic terrorist who seeks to destroy Israel, and is also allied to Hamas and whose terrorist group Al Qaeda has the same roots as that terrorist group. Abdullah Azzam from the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood founded the radical Islamic Mujahideen, which was the radical Islamic resistance to the Soviet Union's illegal occupation of Afghanistan. Azzam was the mentor of Osama Bin Laden. Al Qaeda and the Taliban came from the Mujahideen. Hamas is the Palestinian faction of the Muslim Brotherhood. Article two of the Hamas charter states that they're part of the Muslim Brotherhood movement. Al Qaeda is one of the terrorist groups that fires rockets into Israel. So if I'm a "super-Zionist," then how can I "give aid and comfort to Bin Laden?" 
Alex says that I'm a super-Zionist like it's a bad thing to be one, when it actually isn't. Yes, I'm a super-Zionist and proud of it.
 As seen here, Alex calls me stupid insults like "wingnut." 
Alex claims that I claim that liberals are in bed with totalitarian Communists. Not every single liberal is. In bed can be too strong, as I didn't use the actual phrase. Some liberals do idolize totalitarian Communists, like when they wear Che Guevara T-shirts. Che Guevara was a totalitarian Communist, who got into a fight with with a rebel while defending the Soviet invasion of Hungary [Humberto Fontova, author of the book "Exposing the real Che Guevara and the useful idiots who idolize him, interviewed the rebel's brother, and page 46 of that book shows what he told Mr. Fontova]. Che did seek to spread totalitarian Communism wherever he can, and Cuba is the model of the society Che fought for, a totalitarian society where Communism controls every aspect of the individual life and here anybody the Communist regime doesn't like in Cuba is killed and/or arrested and tortured. Some liberals do idolize totalitarian Communists like the Sandinistas and other Latin American totalitarian Communists. Che was just an example. Pretty much no liberal would support Stalin or the Pol Pot, since their crimes are already well-known to the world. But when it comes to Che, many liberals have a weird way of showing their "condemnation" of totalitarian Communists. Wearing a shirt idolizing a totalitarian Communist [Che Guevara] is not condemnation of totalitarian Communists. If I wear a shirt idolizing Adolf Eichmann, then that wouldn't be me condemning the Nazis. Everyone would point that out. That's what it's like when someone wears a Che Guevara T-shirt in relation to condemning totalitarian Communism. 
I didn't touch Alex Constantine's wikipedia bio, except for I did unsuccessfully try to edit it so it no longer calls Alex Constantine an investigative journalist. Other than that, I did not touch his wikipedia bio. I didn't say that he takes LSD. I didn't say that he wrote letters to journals including the LA Weekly nor did I say that he spent time in institutions. That part was not written by me at all. I view Alex Constantine's wikipedia entry as pro-Alex Constantine bias, like in calling him an investigative journalist. His name is in the investigative journalist section. I did not write Alex Constantine's wikipedia bio. Alex claims that:
For years I have reported facts that I knew to be true, and did it as objectively as possible. There are bottom-feeders out there who have criminal objectives and would prefer that you-all perceive me as a "conspiracy theorist."  

Yea Alex, I see how having your name in the list of investigative journalists makes your wikipedia bio "vandalized." Alex Constantine is a conspiracy theorist. He believes that 9/11 is an inside job as seen here when he says:
Anyone blaming 9/11 on "Islamo-Fascists" is an agent of the Bush administration, willingly or unconsciously, and should be challenged.
If that's not a conspiracy theorist, than I don't know what is. 
Conclusion
Alex Constantine tries to portray himself as something he is not. Whoever doesn't believe Alex Constantine's wacky conspiracy theorists, loves America, opposes Uncle Sam's totalitarian enemies, or challenges Alex Constantine is a Fascist, Nazi or any other slanderous name Alex gives you in the world of Alex Constantine. Alex wants to portray himself as an investigative journalist and as someone who "researches" Fascism. He's really a conspiracy theorist wacky propagandist, who is even too much of a kook even to more sensible leftists. Alex is not just a liberal, he's a wacky conspiracy theorist. He's not someone who I just have disagreements with, but someone who makes slanderous lies against America, me and us Conservatives.
