Doesn't Ehud Barak the leftist
know this. There was never a Palestinian tribe, there was never a Palestinian
nation, and there was never a Palestinian country in the Land of Israel to
begin with! Arab culture that allows honor killings to be
legal.
Israel is not for sale. It is not a pie to be sliced up and served to a clan of
killers and their supporters.
Ehud, When did Jerusalem serve as a capital to any Arab ? Never.
Ehud, When did Jerusalem serve as a Palestinian capital ? Never.
3: Only Israel have had Jerusalem as there capital in Ancient and modern
times. Jerusalem was never in history an Arab capital and never will be
one.
4: How many times is Jerusalem mentioned in the Koran? Zero.
Was Mohammed to so badly educated, he could not utter the word "J-e-r-u-s-a-l-e-m"

Did you hear, Teddy
Katz who reported about a Massacre of Palestinians in 1948. If you
haven't heard, Teddy Katz admitted in court, he made the whole thing up. This
is typical of left wing Jews, they like to make up stuff and do propaganda for
the Arabs. Maybe Teddy Katz should do a story, about Hajj Amin Al
Husseinis genocidal deal with Hitler. By Assaf Bergerfreund, Ha'aretz
Correspondent
Tel Aviv District Court Judge Drora Pilpel yesterday rejected a request from
historian Teddy Katz to scrap a compromise agreement under which 1948 war
veterans dropped a libel suit against him in exchange for his retracting
allegations that they had massacred Arabs during Israel's War of Independence.
Veterans of the Alexandroni Brigade had sued Katz for libel, seeking NIS 1.1
million in damages after he wrote in his master's thesis that there was
evidence soldiers of the brigade had massacred some 200 residents of the
coastal village of Tantura during the war. Katz received a grade of 97 on the
thesis.
In his retraction, Katz said that having looked again at the evidence, he was
convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no basis to allegations
that a massacre was carried out in the village after it surrendered to the
Alexandroni Brigade in May 1948. Katz even apologized to the veterans for the
allegations. As part of the agreement, Katz is to publish his apology in
half-page ads in two daily newspapers.
The compromise was reached after a month of court hearings on the libel suit
brought by the veterans against Katz. In the course of proceedings, Katz was
accused of having distorted testimony of village residents so that it would fit
his theories, and tapes of his interviews with them were heard in court and
compared to the quotes he used in his thesis.

Dear Sir;
I find your writings on "The Roots of
Terrorism", to be very informative and highly
interesting. However, there is one key point that you have
described as a generalization that seems to convey a somewhat
"Specific", conclusive Assumption". Strange in itself that
an assumption should hint of conclusionary finality. You stated that
"Writers write in order to draw attention to themselves". I
find this quite closed minded as an analysis. If the world is full of all
types of people and these people are all quite unique in their individuality,
then it would seem both logical and natural that they would all express
themselves in varying ways and degrees, depending upon their internal
capabilities and desires. For some it' s artistic expression through
music or writing, for others, perhaps, a fine tuned surgen, ect...
To say that one writes "Soley to draw attention to oneself ", seems
to cut off the possibility that this could mearly be the chosen outlet for this
artistic potential. Does a world class graffiti artist wish all to know
who he is, or is it rather that he wishes all to enjoy his artistic
production. Why would so many choose to write under the guise of
"Ghost Writer", where the "Personal Credit" and public
"Recognition", is hidden in "Identity".
Assumptive conclusiveness is deffinately and preematurely
"Closing the Door" of exploratory analysis. I feel that
each and every "Case" in life is different to say the least and along
with it "Motivating Factors", artistic or otherwise.
Terrorism, as you know is a consistently shifting
factor . In a world that is constantly changing , it must be met with
a rapidly flexible, fast moving, and unassumptive analysis whose
analytical "Building Blocks", are not assumptively conclusive in
nature.
Most respectfully and sincerely yours,
David

Dear Dr. Raikhlin:
I have a question for you. You mention in your book a writer named Israel
Shamir -- that's how I found your page. Shamir
has written some very anti-Israel articles. Also, he has translated many
Russian books. Is he Russian-born or a native Israeli? Can you tell me more
about him?
Thanks,

I just want to say
that your website is really useless. Ya, you start talking about
terrorism in terms of sociology but then you go off on all these tangents that
have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. And also learn how to write
a paper. You have a topic sentence....supporting sentences....and then
concluding sentence.....not jam a bunch of random sentences together.
Sure...we still CAN read it but it makes it a much bigger pain in the ass when
half of the information we're reading has nothing to do with the roots of
terrorism. Just please get rid of this information....or if you actually
care....just revise it.

уважаемый Раддай И. Райхлин.
Я прочитал вашу книгу "Гражданская война, террор и бандитизм. Систематизация социологии и социальная динамика."
Меня очень заинтересовал ваш взгляд на наше общество. Хотя в вопросах касающихся исскуства (художников, музыкантов, писателей и т.д.) я свами немного не согласен, но это уже другой вопрос.
Можно ли приобрести вашу работу в виде книги? И если да. то где и как.

To All Jews Living in the Land of Yisrael:
Has your G-d, the Creator of the Universe, the One above all, returned to the
land of Yisrael and to Yerushalayim? Has He returned to His temple?
Has He returned to you?
Have you recieved all the promised blessings for obedience?
Do you have peace in your land, in your government., your religion,
your home, or in your mind?
Has your government turned you to your G-d? If so, which party has turned
you to Him? The Likud Party, the Religious Party, the United Yisrael Party, the
Shas or Labor Party. Has this government had the power to hold back the
tide of terror from you? Has it held up the banner to proclaim the G-d of the
Covenant to the world?
Has your religion really turned you to your G-d? If so, which branch of
the religion of Judaism has performed this wonderful deed? Is it the
Reformist, the Lubavitchers, the Orthodox, the Conservative or
Reconstructionists? Is
it a rabbi of great renown that has turned the people back to your Father, and
told the world of this wonderful Being?
Is your home at peace? Or, is it being shelled and damaged? Are your
neighbors, your children, or your mate being shot, and maimed, and killed,
daily? Do you have enough water to grow your crops, or is famine at the
door? Is there enough medicines to keep illness away from your loved ones?
Does your mind know and understand what is going on around you? Do you
comprehend and understand what is happening to the land, the government, the
family and to you, personally? Do you struggle for answers? Do you ask
yourself, WHY?
Do you look for those answers from your Prime Minister, his Cabinet Member, the
Knesset, the religious leaders, your neighbors, your family, or from your
mate? Or, are they going through the same anguish as you?
Are you seeking your answers from L-rd HaShem, your G-d? Has he answered you?
Are you not anxiously waiting for Yliyahu/Eliyahu, the long awaited
"messenger"? How would you react to theYliyahu of Malachi if he
came on the evening of Pesach and sat at the place you had prepared for him
during your Seder meal? Would you welcome him with open arms? Would you
hear his message? Would it be a message of praise, or a message of
correction?
Would you ask Yliyahu, "How have we come short of the promised blessings?
Why has peace not come?"? Would you be able to say, "We have
been faithful to His words and His words, only. We do not add to nor diminish
from His Torah."? Could you say "We call on His name,
always."?
Would you ask this messenger, " Where have we gone wrong? For Our G-d
could not make a mistake as to overlook our righteousness and love for
Him? So, why is all of this happening to us?"
Suppose this messenger were able to answer your questions on Pesach
evening, while sitting at this most memorable meal, with you. Would you accept
his answers? If he answered your questions and corrected you with all the love
and humility that is humanly possible, would you, could you accept his
answers? If he showed you the clear path to your G-d, to victory, to
peace, to redemption would you accept what he makes known to you?
I am Shalomahava. I have sought YHVH, the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak , and Ya'aqov
for all of my adult life. I have sought out the G-d of the Universe, the
Creator of all things. I was driven to seek. I was led to a man, a man in
prison. This man claimed to be Yliyahu----Yliyahu ben Dovid. I had not opened a
door for him, nor had I set a place for him at the Seder meal. I might have
done so, if I had known. I did have pre-concieved ideas of how he might
be, ideas other than what the ancient prophet had written. He was not what I
expected. I did offer him a "crumb" of my time and an ear. I
had many questions, similar to the ones I have just asked you. What did he tell
me? What was his message?
He repeatedly told me his message: "Listen to YHVH's voice and His
voice, only."
This was quite a task. Why? Because, for most of my life I had read
Torah, but I had, also, listened to other voices"...commentary, opinions,
elders, learned men, scholars, teachers, added stories, added books,
parshas,
parodies, parables, analogies, 30+ years of other "voices". I thought
these outside (outside Torah) sources could help me to understand what seemed
to be too complicated for me.
I learned from Yliyahu that the confusion was from listening to the other
"voices"/"babel". Yliyahu shepherded me to understand what
his message meant, and he has help to clear my mind of these
"other-than-YHVH voices".
In doing this, he turned my heart to YHVH, to Arutz Israel, and to you, the
children of Yisrael living in the land of Yisrael.
I am writing, in hope, of turning your ear to Yliyahu, who like Moshe, the
humble servant of YHVH G-d, is the voice of YHVH in the earth at this time, as
YHVH promised. I say to all of you, now, asYHVH lives, Yliyahu ben Dovid
is the messenger whom you say that you seek. He is the anointed one
(HaMashiach), who will perform all the functions that Moshe, the servant of
YHVH performed as prophet, as shepherd, as king; even performing the functions
of the Kohan Gadol and anointed one who anoints.:
And, please, remember this. You, who have opened your door many times to greet
and welcome Yliyahu, should he come and visit you at the Seder meal of Pesach....DO
NOT slam the door in his face at this most crucial time, without at least,
first, hearing his message. It can be known to you if you would but do the only
thing he has requested of you. Send two or three distingquished elders from
among the Kohanim to meet with him face-to-face and he shall speak the words
that YHVH shall put in his mouth to speak to them in His most holy name.
They shall, then, report all that he shall speak to you.
With Sincere Shalom and Love,
Shalomahava.

Hi,
I actually read the lengthy material on your website in the course of
several visits over the past few months. I do believe in social egalitarianism,
and believe all religions are Janus-faced, with good and bad potentials.
I frankly find the idea of the Golem a repulsive form of demonization.
Sorry.

physical events are the manifestation of spiritual realm activity.
therefore the physical events interpreted may reveal
the hyarchy's identity and it's legal territory in the spiritual realm (know s
strongholds),which is regulated by
victories won through it's influence on humanity to sin. pride,fear and
deception are trunks to the roots of
influence. the moral degeneration of a society is directly proportional to it's
ungodly convictions. There are only two
powers in this dimension: God, the creator and satan. God, the designer of
"freedom of will" gains ground in both
realms by the choices, convictions and faith of those humans He called, and is
calling, to be desciples. God, (due to
the "freedom of will" commitment) does not push or force His will on
humans and allows satan the strongholds which
he has legally obtained through the sins of the humans. satan, on the other
hand is forcefull with his influences and is
commited to the destruction of mankind.
The truth is plain and simple and deception's influence is revealed as the
cloking of the truth is recognized.etc.

Mr.. R. Raikhlin,
I am writing in regards to the mentioned book above. I am very interested
and thoroughly enjoying reading your book on the internet (www.israel.net/raikhlin/social_dynamics/myengbook).
I am prior service military, having served in Egypt and Israel in 1995. I
am currently a senior at the Evergreen State College. I have been
studying Political Science and Economics. My main area of interest is in
foreign policy and terrorism. I would like to know if there is any way of
receiving a printed copy of your book. I would love the opportunity to
have a copy that I may read and refer back to in my current studies. I am
currently working on a prospectus for future research on understanding
terrorists and terrorist
organizations, i.e. the sociological and psychological dynamics of these
individuals and organizations. I am narrowing down my research to a
terrorist organization from the Middle East. Please let me know how I may
receive a copy of your book and I would truly enjoy discussing this topic with
you more in the future.
Sincerely,

Pray!
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Michael
Gardner, I am not a preacher nor am I seeking to benefit in any way from this
Email. I am only an individual who has felt led to send this message to as many
people as possible.
I want to ask you to commit and to agree with me in
earnest prayer, that God will pour out his Spirit on his Church. Not only in
this country, but the world over. We need God's anointing in these last days
that we will defeat Spiritual wickedness. Satan had made recent attacks on our
nation, and we have to bind together in prayer against him. This will bring a
miraculous
revival across our nation and the world. Prayer is a very powerful offense and
defense that we have, satan knows this and is very fearful of the prayer
of Christians, especially organized prayer on a regular and continual basis.
I ask you to join with me in a commitment to God to
kneel in faithfull prayer each day at 12:00 (noon) central time, and pray for
the outpouring of God's Spirit,
which will bring the great revival that we must have, and will have.
IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE
THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN
WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE
THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.

Dear Raddai,
I find your attitudes disturbing and very self-centred. "Democracy"
does not exist, has never existed. Advocating for dictatorship is an
extraordinary stance. The very idea that somehow your society is "more
grown up" than all the societies of "Africa and Asia" (tout
court!!) completely beggars belief.
Please take me off your list. I do not wish to read this sort of thing ever
again.

Dear Mr Raikhlin
My apologies for using English instead of Russian, as my computer at
work does not support typing in Russian (I can read though).
I am currently reading you "Social dynamics" books. Very
interesting. There are few points where I might disagree, but they are minor.
In chapter 2 you quote Grolier encyclopaedia article on terrorism.
"Copyright - 1992 Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc.
terrorism.
Terrorism is the sustained, clandestine use of violence,
including murder, kidnapping, hijacking, and bombings, to
achieve a political purpose. Definitions in the U.S.
Intelligence and Surveillance Act of 1979 and the United Kingdom
Prevention of Terrorism Act of 1976 stress the use of violence
to coerce or intimidate the civilian population with a view
to affecting government policy. In popular usage, however,
as influenced by politicians and the media, "terrorism" is now
increasingly used as a generic term for all kinds of
political violence, especially as manifested in revolutionary and
guerrilla warfare.
Nevertheless, not all political violence short of
conventional war is terrorism. Political assassination may or may not be a
terrorist act, depending on the degree of commitment to a
sustained program of terror. Assassinations of Tsar Alexander
II and other prominent figures in imperial Russia by
nihilists and social revolutionaries were part of a sustained
program of violence aimed at bringing down the Tsarist regime
and as such were terrorist acts. On the other hand, the
assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F.
Kennedy, while undoubtedly political in motive, were not part
of a sustained program and hence cannot properly be called
terrorism. "
The author of the article clearly states that Tsar Alexander II
assassination is terrorism and assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy are
crimes, but not terrorism.
However in chapter 7 you are saying that Charles Maechling, Jr.advocates
murder of tsar Alexander and condemns murder of Lincoln and Kennedy. It is
simply not true and you are contradicting yourself. He clearly says that murder
of Alexander (as well as other murders carried out by communists) is a
terrorism. I did not find (at least in the quote you published) any mentioning
of good terrorism.
I hope it's just an oversight from you
Best regards,

Hi,
In chapter 11 you discuss entropy of society based on income
distribution.
In industrialized countries it can be assumed to have lognormal
distribution (variable X said to be lognormally distributed if logX has a
normal distribution). The variance can be calculated from sample provided, but
this distribution is always skewed. You noted correctly that variance by itself
is not descriptive and rightfully divided by the mean and took a log (natural
logarithm is assumed, but it is indeed not important).
I would think that for your purposes variance of logX distribution is
better (after all it's normally distributed)
Some formulas:
Let x be normally distributed N(m, s)
Then X=exp(x) has a lognormal distribution
E(X)=exp(m+s*s/2)
V(X)=E(x)*E(x)*(exp(s*s)-1).
You can notice that mean of lognormal distribution is large then exp(m) and
depends on variance as well. I'll give you one example:
In Australia the average annual income is about $41000 (this is more or
less reliable data). The median (which I did not find on government web
site but was once in a newspaper) is only about $30000 (e.g. 50% earn less, 50%
earn more). In this case variance on the log scale is about 0.27 (which
translates into standard error of 0.52).
You can use other statistics, but standard error (or variance) is most
relevant.
Feel free to question me on that topic (unfortunately lognormal
distribution rarely mentioned in statistical textbooks but very important in
modelling financial processes like insurance)
Best regards,
Igor

Dear Raddai,
The logical outcome from your research would be the statement:
"The optimal society is the one where the law is universally
applied/enforced".
For example, in anarchy state large groups of population are often
exempt from the law (due to political pressure, "political
correctness", etc.). I read about a case in US when men was not prosecuted
for molesting 15 years old boy because "it would discriminate against
homosexual". The prosecution did not even lay charges. Of course human
rights group did not say anything.
On the other case, we look at Soviet Union (especially Stalin's time as
strictest dictatorship state), the law is not enforced either. Generally
it was enforced, but not universally. The ruling elite was completely exempt.
They lived "po ponyatiam". We can generalized that any dictatorship
does not apply law universally, and anarchy does not enforce it effectively.
While there is never been a society where law is applied 100%
universally (equally covering everyone), some societies at certain stages are very
close to this state. 100% is simple impossible because it's discharged by human
who are not perfect (you cannot find enough "close to perfect" people
for judge positions, and iron law of oligarchy will inevitably apply to any
court system).
Therefore human imperfection makes ideal state (50% pyramid) very
unstable.
Best regards,
Igor

Interesting. But
consider this socio-political theory. When it was given in a speech, two groups
called it a miracle, and New York City's liberals decided it's a call to
arms.(in opposition)
I said, in a term paper at Rutgers College, that the criteria for attempting to
define right and left (USA style) is incomplete, and leads to a ridiculous
conclusion. All that is examined is a society's tendency to make judgement in
both the terms of social controll (the F-Scale) and economic control ( the
E-Scale).
I pointed out to the professor of the ISMs that in interpretation of the words
of John Keneth Galbraith, there is thus no difference, because the only reason
to OWN something is to control the distribution of the item and resulting
profits. If you can have CONTROLL of something which someone else OWNS on
paper, you might just as well let him have fun thinking he OWNS that, as long
as you have CONTROLL over that. Thus, Socialistic OWNERSHIP is the same as
Fascistic СONTROLL, in fact. Therefore, Socialistic controll is identical to
Fascistic controll. The opposite is capitalistic individual
controll and ownership, of course.
I also pointed out that any socio-political system which requires a great
degree of societal controll over the population has a traight in common with
other such philosophies. On this score, you can equate revolutionary Fascism,
revolutionary Socialism, Oligarchy, Feudalism, and usually dictatorships. I
further point out that once estasblished as Revolutionary Fascism or
Revolutionary Socialism, the powers that be NEVER admit that the
Revolutionary aspects of the regime are over, and thus attempt to maintain
controll forever. In fact, because they are forever, we can reasonably delete
the descriptive Revolutionary from those governmental formats.
Then I get to the Democratic aspect of Capitalism and the Capitalistic Republic
form of government that the USA is supposed to have. Just as it only looks at
the value of the barter-goods as a value of exchange, so it does not look at
the social station of the person in posession of the barter-goods.
On the other hand, a government which looks at the bed a person was born in to
evaluate him, such as the Monarchy Feusdalisitic or Oligarchic forms of
government, in the extreme, and the Fascist and Socialist to a lesser but
equally sinister extreme, have lots of life's realities in common. On the one
hand, a person born to power can do anything with the power. On the other hand,
a person born of the wrong religion, nationality, or economic condition (of
previously aquired wealth) can do nothing to exonerate and purge himself of the
supposed evils of that class he was born into.
Thus, again, Socialism and Fascism appear to be as blood brothers, hand in hand
with the Monarchists and Oligarchists. Today, note the Vons of Germany calling
the marching-orders of the EU, which is Socialists hand in hand with the
fascisitic remnant National Socialists (or NAZIs) of WW II. These, of course,
are the opposite of Capitalism, which only looks at the green in the hand of
the purchasor.
The third and missing criteria in common political analysis of the ISMs is the
idea of class judgement. If all those who are cousin of the King are to be
blessed, or all those who were born of Teutonic blood are to be elvated, a
class judgement has been made. Similarly, if all those born of the Jewish faith
are for that reason to be cursed and killed, or all those born of
Capitalist and / or Feudal Rulling Class are to be if not executed, then
subject to no education and no social opportunity beyond street-sweeping as an
occupation and career, this straight of government makes an extreme.
Capitalism, which looks only at the money in the hand of the buyer, is once
again the opposite.
This was said in a speech by a person known as the CLAM (He is dead now: he was
Charles Lamb) at a lower east side synogogue and endorsing James Buckley for
Senate because it appeared to him that Jim does not believe in anything
but individual and personal judgement.
The group of chassidic gold guards who called themselves the Senhedryn of New
York, all agreed and it is rumored, they called it a miracle, because for a
change they all agreed.
The responsible Conservative Movement of the USA called it a miracle because
they amazingly reversed for this one campaign the flow of Jewish money from the
liberals to the conservatives of New York City, and won a Senate seat in
Rockefeller's New York.
And Edward I. Koch called it WAR. Jake Javits agreed. These two represented the
liberal and Jewish element of New York City at the time.
I have no diplomas to show the world: Rutgers College screwed me out of that.
I have never been published: only that one time publicized. And before the, the
erstwhile proffessor at Rutgers declared my ideas so contrary to his
established and accepted thought, that if I am right, "I and all of my
coleagues have wasted their careers, therefore YOU must be wrong." He also
found a gramatical error and three spelling errors in my term paper, and gave
me a "c".
I leave you with my thoughts.

Dear Raddai
I have a great sympathy for your position and I continue to be fascinated
by your point of view. I have two questions:
1. How would you apply repression in the present case to solve Israel's
dilemmas?
2. Post- Sept 11th do you see any strengthening of your position, and
could repression help in the case of Al Qaeda too, do you think?
Best wishes

Yor web site: Comments and Suggestions
B"H
Dear Mr. Raikhlin,
The picture "Process bit'ya molodich v Buchara Synagogue" brought in
your web site (see attached) is nothing but the old Jewish custom of
"Malkos" -
"Before Mikvah we have the custom of Malkos: receiving thirty-nine
symbolic "lashes" to remember the need for Teshuvah. Both the one
giving and getting Malkos say the thirteen words of "VeHu Rachum"
three times, for a total of thirty-nine".
(You can find this and full explanation on http://www.quickcom.net/chabad/html/yom_kipur.html)
Also the words: "The picture on Yom Kipur" contradict to the Jewish
laws because no picture on Yom Kipur could be taken. This picture was taken 3-4
hours before Yom Kipur.
I think we always should be very careful to reference the areas of our
customs, our roots. It is even good to observe them.
I wish you Kol Tuv.
Yonatan Reyder

Interesting site - but your submission form is not correctly linked. Check it..
Was particularly interested in your analysis of The Golem.
I will spend several hours reading your theses. I look forward to it.

Hi,
I have another example for your theory - Columbia. Just look at what is
happening between government and FARC - and you see theory in practice.
Best regards,
Igor
FARC is some Marxist-communist terrorist group that is at war with
Columbian government. I just read couple of article in newspaper, but it was
enough to get the picture (of course, the newspaper was "balanced"
and "politically correct", but had all the facts I needed).
Recently they agreed to negotiate with the government, president made a big
announcement that FARC will "stop violence, kidnapping, extortion,
explosions. In other words no more civilian involvement in the conflict".
This agreement was brokered by... (your guessed it, didn't you?) UN officials
and other "members of international community" (speaking in the normal
language, by foreign bureaucrats).
You will not be surprised to learn that FARC kept bombing cities and
killing people (both civilian and police).
I guess you can find a bit more on the net (any news service will have
at least something)
Regards,
Igor

You portrait the differences between right and left as differences
between nationalists and internationalist, those who want to slide to anarchy
and those who does not want. In my view it's a simplified picture. You almost
completely disregard economic component of the problem.
It can be argued that right and left are parts of the
same evil (even though right might be a lesser evil). When citizenry is angry
with left, they elect right parties. Then they see that despite different
rhetoric, nothing changes. Over time they forget transgressions of left wing,
attracted by their slogans and vote for them again.
Right wing does not fight against left, it complements
it.
There are few problems with Western society:
1. Democracy is viewed as a goal itself, rather than a
tool to create better society
2. Free market and capitalism are almost dead. The
economy now is hybrid between communism and capitalism. Majority of big
corporations don't have owner. There is now majority shareholder, therefore
it's completely controlled by the managers without any interference from the
owner. While owner can be good or bad, fair or unfair, moral or immoral, the
manager does not have choice. He must be immoral. He must care only about profit
and, most important, only about profit now. Directly and
indirectly, large corporations control all Western (and many
of third world) societies without feeling any responsibility (and, therefore,
not exercising any). The despots of the past, whatever horrible and detested,
had, at least, some responsibilities. Today's elite does not. They need
periodic change of government to keep people content. They only think about
short-term goals and short-term consequences. (they will be hurt most in the
long-term, but don't realize it).
3. Corporations have global reach, therefore global
interests. It means that national interests of any state will eventually come
into conflict with them.
4. "Political correctness" of last two
decades and "secular humanism" is a good tool in exercising greater
control. As religion is almost dead in West and religious institutions have no
influence, "secular humanism" become a surrogate substitution.
Make no mistake - any religious institution, be it catholic church,
ayatollahs or rabbinical council is subjected to the same "law of
oligarchy" you mentioned in your book. Therefore I disagree that just
society can be build upon Judaism or Protestantism only. Give a rabbinical
council absolute power and you'll see it corrupted in twenty or thirty years (I
know it's not what you suggest). It's just happened that clergy did not rule
Jewish or protestant society. The problem with our society is that it is
militantly anti-religious which leads to an absence of moral (I completely
agree with you on that point)
5 .Western democracy also works well. You should not
think that democracy in today's Western society is "not true
democracy". It is "true democracy", but being just form of
government, it is not the only thing that determine the fabric of the society.
Turn Western state into absolute monarchy or dictatorship, and you will have
the same problems (without the relative freedom individual have).
I guess our views have much more in common then
differ. I don't want to undermine your work either. I am just trying to look at
the same problem from a different angle.
P.S. I've come across very interesting book
"Voltaire's bastards. Dictatorship of reason in West" by John Saul.
It explains roots of many problems of current society, despite being boring and
unconvincing in some places.
Best regards,
Igor

Отличие реального террора и бандитизма от его
"физических моделей" в наличии разума у особей ими занимающихся. Разум
трудно предсказуем, тем более криминальный. Поэтому не считаю теорию большого взрыва
как и теорему Пифагора приемлемыми к анализу психологии преступников.
В доказательство своего суждения могу привести нападение террористов "Эль-Кайды" на Международный Торговый Центр в Нью-Йорке. Или вы станете утверждать что это всё у них вышло инстинктивно?

Здравствуйте,
господин Райхлин!
Я натолкнулся в
Интернете на Вашу книгу и она меня очень заинтересовала. Но у
меня возникла одна
проблема - к сожалению, я не могу её скопировать на дискету,
отдельные части не
копируются. А доступ к Интернету у меня довольно-таки
ограничен...
Если Вас не
затруднит, не могли бы Вы, если у Вас есть электронный вариант
Вашей монографии,
отправить мне его по моему электронному адресу...
Заранее благодарен
и всего Вам наилучшего!
Азаров Сергей.
