Bill,
I don't believe that the symbol to which you refer has any significance. It
does not appear on later issues of "The Fig Tree" where it has been replaced
by the logo of the Social Credit Secretariat. The latter may be seen on Vic
Bridger's website, viz., the Social Credit School of Studies and this is the
same symbol which appears on the Secretariat's "Statement of Constitution."
This logo does contain defined meaning with respect to Social Credit.
I think it is unrealistic and dangerous to employ the term "anti-Semitism"
because the term has no objective meaning in the real world and is simply a
dialectic linguistic weapon in the murky world of psychopolitics. That is,
it serves in the Marxist "thesis/antithesis" duality as useful in obtaining
a predetermined "synthesis." Primarily, the term is used to deflect from
meaningul comment in debate and to detract from logical argumentation by
branding one's opponents as irrational. It is employed in the process of
character assassination and is quite crucial and necessary to the strategy
of those who set it up as a "straw man" and then set about attacking it.
This is a tactic which was employed as a matter of policy and practice by
the Bolsheviks and is probably derived from a certain school of logic which
justifies saying anything that furthers one's objectives. This latter, of
course, involves the arrogant assumption that one is absolutely and
infallibly correct--which assumption allows any means fair and foul to seek
one's ends. Briefly, this approach represents the principle that the "end
justifies the means," which attitude reflects pharisaic self-righteousness
and intolerance. If people are "embarrassed" by that objectively
meaningless, but derogatory and damaging, propaganda label, "anti-Semitism,"
it is because this is the intended result and after a long period of
incessant "brainwashing" they have been psychologically conditioned to be
so--as part of established policy. Cultural degradation would seem to be
one of the main objectives in that established or independent cultures
provide an insurmountable obstacle to establishment of a world state. This
is, as I understand the matter, part of what Douglas meant when he referred
to society as having been "hypnotized."
