Today in 1401 30 Swiss Jews of burned at the stake because of fantasies of #antisemites

…….”JEWS OF SCHAFFHAUSEN (SWITZERLAND) BURNED AT THE STAKE (1401) After the postilion (coach driver) of the governor killed the four-year-old son of a councilor, charges were lodged against a Jew named Michael Vinelmann, a former resident of Basel, alleging that he had promised the murderer three gulden for the blood of the child. The murderer was broken on the wheel, and the Jew burned alive without trial.Shortly before, a similar accusation had been brought against the Jews of Schaffhausen and been successfully refuted. When news of Michael Vinelmann’s fate was brought to Schaffhausen, several of the Jews of the city fled and were soon captured. They were taken back to Schaffhausen, where they were thrown into a dungeon and terribly tortured. Unable to endure the pain, they “confessed” to the crime of which they had been accused, whereupon all the Jews living in Schaffhausen were condemned to death. Thirty Jews were burned alive. Four weeks later, eighteen men and women died at the stake in Winterthur in a similar context.“……

#antisemite Roseanne Barr defends fellow #antisemite Gilad Atzmon #antisemitism #jcot #tjot #tcot #ccot

RRD: First a note to any anti-semitic trolls out there who are reading this : I am not Alan Dershowitz nor am I like the well intentioned (but naive ) souls who have argued with this creature Barr. I don’t debate with scum. I won’t respond to those who spit on me & curse me by asking them “Why do you say these hateful things” . I am not “polite” & I am certainly not naive enough to give you “the benefit of the doubt”. You are scum: I know it,& you know it in your pus -filled little souls & I will not waste one minute of my life “arguing” with you. If you comment your comment will never show up. If you Tweet me your Tweet will be ignored & you will be blocked. Threats will be reported to the police. Now to the article. Roseanne: It’s ‘bullsh*t’ that Gilad Atzmon is a Holocaust denier; Atzmon lashes out at ‘Zio-trolls’ | Twitchy http://twitchy.com/2013/05/09/roseanne-its-bullsht-that-gilad-atzmon-is-a-holocaust-denier-atzmon-lashes-out-at-zio-trolls/ Barr herself has previously warned us of something called “Jewish Mind Control” Vile: Roseanne Barr warns against the horrors of ‘Jewish mind control’ | Twitchy http://twitchy.com/2012/08/23/vile-roseanne-barr-warns-against-the-horrors-of-jewish-mind-control/ Barr need not worry, after all one cannot control that which does not exist . I have written about this putrid scum Atzmon before(fn1) . Gilad Atzmon is a rabidly anti-semitic cretin whose vile “The Wandering Who” was applauded by his fellow travelers in Jew Hatred Richard Falk & John Mearsheimer (fn2) . So repellent are Atzmon’s ravings that many anti-zionists have denounced him(fn3) This has not stopped the anti-semites at the BBC from welcoming him on to one of their anti-semitic shows.(fn4) ( You may note that I am using the word “anti-semite” frequently,lest these anti-semites be able to say that they have intimidated me from calling them out as the scum that they are). Barr is not intelligent enough to create this pose of feigned innocence & feigned outrage which ANTI-SEMITES (such as the anti-semites Falk,Gilad,Mearsheimer & Barr) have adopted as their latest tactic,she is merely emulating her more cunning associates. As for the poor martyred Atzmon here is a sampling of his bile: Gilad Atzmon: “It is not fair for the sea to have Jews thrown in to it” – YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&hl=en≷=US&v=0RS1MaQ1d_Q&nomobile=1 The protocols of Gilad Atzmon – Israel Culture, Ynetnews http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4147243,00.html ……… ”

This process institutionalizes the Jewish suffering and doesn’t impress me. I heard about Holocaust deniers who were forced to sit in jail just because they wouldn’t fall for the Holocaust narrative as described by the Zionists. Holocaust denial laws are the worst – they prevent Jews from understanding their own history. “Take the death marches issue, for example. It’s clear to everyone that at the beginning of the war the Nazis wanted to clear the Reich of Jews. If that’s the case, why did the lead the Jews at the end of the war into the Reich in what people refer to as ‘the death marches’? If the Nazis wanted. to destroy the Jews, the last thing they should have done was lead them to Germany.” “Jews were no longer a labor force. They were too weak and therefore died in the marches. Jews say the Nazis wanted to conceal evidence, but that’s an idiotic response because the Nazis left Jews behind in the camps.” “According to one interesting answer, the Jews preferred to stay with the Germans than fall into the hands of the Russians. There was a typhus outbreak and the assumption was that if the Jews were taken to Germany, the Americans and Britons could deal with the disease. “So the death marches were actually humane. This is a very consistent ruling.”……….. …………..”Both Nazi Germany and Israel are driven by ethnocentrism. They are both racist countries with a tendency to expand. Israel and the Nazi movement are similar in many categories. But since Israel is a democratic country, each of its citizens is responsible for its crimes, while in Nazi Germany only the Führer and his party members were responsible for the war crimes. “Moreover, the Zionist movement was born before the Nazi movement. The Nazis disappeared, but the Zionists remain – and today they are even stronger than America.

Israeli press reported this evening that French gunman Mohamed Merah had been on a trip to Israel in the past. According to the report, Merah’s passport had Israeli stamps in it. The purpose of his visit is unknown. Israeli analysts suspect he was either trying to visit the Palestinian territories or preparing for a terror attack. However, I won’t rule out the possibility that Merah was actually trained by Israeli forces. Marah may have conducted a false flag operation. By way of deception is, after all, the Mossad’s motto.

Here is a recent article from 972 Magazine referring to Atzmon’s book ‘The Wandering Jew’: “Atzmon is a Holocaust denier; he has previously asked “if the Nazis ran a death factory in Auschwitz-Birkenau, why would the Jewish prisoners join them at the end of the war?” In this book […..] Atzmon writes on page 179 “we, for instance, can envisage a horrific situation in which an Israeli so-called ‘pre- emptive’ nuclear attack on Iran that escalates into a disastrous nuclear war, in which tens of millions of people perish. I guess that amongst the survivors of such a nightmare scenario, some may be bold enough to argue that ‘Hitler might have been right after all.’ On page 27 he argues “Throughout the centuries, some Jewish bankers have gathered the reputation of backers and financers of wars and even one communist revolution.

”………… RRD: Note that Dershowitz links to the sources of some of the quotes at anti-semitic blogs. I will not drive traffic to the blog of this creature Atzmon or to others of his ilk so I will not link to them myself. The numbers in parentheses are the page numbers from the book “The Wandering Who. Why are John Mearsheimer and Richard Falk Endorsing a Blatantly Anti-Semitic Book? by Alan Dershowitz | November 4, 2011 http://www.newrepublic.com/node/97030/print ……”

Lest there be any doubt about Atzmon’s anti-Semitic credentials, listen to his self -description in the book itself. He boasts about “drawing many of my insights from a man who … was an anti-Semite as well as a radical misogynist” and a hater of “almost everything that fails to be Aryan masculinity” (89 -90). He declares himself a “proud, self -hating Jew” (54), writes with “contempt” of “the Jew in me” (94), and describes himself as “a strong opponent of … Jewish-ness” (186). “……….. ·….“[W]e must begin to take the accusation that the Jewish people are trying to control the world very seriously.”….. From On Anti-Semitism http://web.archive.org/web/20040114024643/http:/www.gilad.co.uk/Anti%20Semi.html ….“American Jewry makes any debate on whether the ‘Protocols of the elder of Zion’ [sic] are an authentic document or rather a forgery irrelevant. American Jews do try to control the world, by proxy.”… Atzmon in The Wandering Who ?: …..”He calls the recent credit crunch “the Zio-punch” (22) and says it was not “a Jewish conspiracy” because “it was all in the open” (30).”…. ….”Paul Wolfowitz, Rahm Emmanuel, and other members of “the Jewish elite” remain abroad instead of moving to “Zion” because they “have proved far more effective for the Zionist cause by staying where they are” (19).”…. …..”The American media “failed to warn the American people of the enemy within” because of money (27).”…. ….“With Fagin and Shylock in mind Israeli barbarism and organ trafficking seem to be just other events in an endless hellish continuum.”…. …..“The Homo Zionicus quickly became a mass murderer, detached from any recognised form of ethical thinking and engaged in a colossal crime against humanity.”….. …..“[T]o be a Jew is a deep commitment that goes far beyond any legal or moral order” (20) and this commitment “pulls more and more Jews into an obscure, dangerous and unethical fellowship” (21).”….. ….”If Iran and Israel fight a nuclear war that kills tens of millions of people, “some may be bold enough to argue that ‘Hitler might have been right after all’” (179).”…. ·….“It took me years to accept that the Holocaust narrative, in its current form, doesn’t make any historical sense. … If, for instance, the Nazis wanted the Jews out of their Reich (Judenrein—free of Jews), or even dead, as the Zionist narrative insists, how come they marched hundreds of thousands of them back into the Reich at the end of the war?”… ….“[E]ven if we accept the Holocaust as the new Anglo -American liberal-democratic religion, we must allow people to be atheists.”… ….” Children should be allowed to question, as he did, “how the teacher could know that these accusations of Jews making Matza out of young Goyim’s blood were indeed empty or groundless” (185).”…. …. “The Holocaust religion is probably as old as the Jews themselves” (153).”….. ….”The history of Jewish persecution is a myth, and if there was any persecution the Jews brought it on themselves (175, 182).”…. ….. “[I]n order to promote Zionist interests, Israel must generate significant anti-Jewish sentiment. Cruelty against Palestinian civilians is a favourite Israeli means of achieving this aim.”…. From On Anti-Semitism http://web.archive.org/web/20040114024643/http:/www.gilad.co.uk/Anti%20Semi.html ….. “Jews may have managed to drop their God, but they have maintained goy -hating and racist ideologies at the heart of their newly emerging secular political identity. This explains why some Talmudic goy -hating elements have been transformed within the Zionist discourse into genocidal practices.”…. The Wandering Who ?: ….”The “Judaic God” described in Deuteronomy 6:10 -12 “is an evil deity, who leads his people to plunder, robbery and theft” (120). Atzmon explains that “Israel and Zionism … have instituted the plunder promised by the Hebrew God in the Judaic holy scriptures” (121).”… ….” The moral of the Book of Esther is that Jews “had better infiltrate the corridors of power” if they wish to survive (158).”…. …. “Many of us including me tend to equate Israel to Nazi Germany . Rather often I myself join others and argue that Israelis are the Nazis of our time. I want to take this opportunity to amend my statement. Israelis are not the Nazis of our time and the Nazis were not the Israelis of their time. Israel, is in fact far worse than Nazi Germany and the above equation is simply meaningless and misleading.”…. …..”He claims that “robbery and hatred is imbued in Jewish modern political ideology on both the left and the right” (123). And like other anti-Semites, Atzmon is obsessed in the book with Jewish names. It was Jews, such as Wolfowitz and Libby, who pushed the United States into war against Iraq in the “interests” of “their beloved Jewish state” (26). “How is it that America failed to restrain its Wolfowitzes ?” Atzmon asks (27). Likewise, according to Atzmon’s book, it was “Jewish bankers,” financiers, economists, writers, and politicians such as Greenspan, Levy, Aaronovitch, Saban, Friedman, Schiff, and Rothschild who have caused the economic and political problems of the world, ranging from the Bolshevik revolution to the wars of the 20th century to the current economic troubles (27,194). And like other classic anti-Semites, Atzmon doesn’t simply fault the individual Jews he names; he concocts a worldwide Jewish conspiracy motivated by a “ruthless Zio-driven” (27) “Jewish ideology” (69) that finds its source in “the lethal spirit” (122) of the Hebrew Bible. “…………. …” Leiter [RRD: An Atzmon apologist who defends Atzmon from those critics who have read the book despite his having not read the book himself] should read the book, especially pages 175 -176, before leaping to Atzmon’s defense. There Atzmon reflects “that 65 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, we must be entitled to start asking questions. We should ask for historical evidence and arguments rather than follow a religious narrative that is sustained by political pressure and laws.

”… RRD: John Mearsheimer co-author of “The Israel Lobby” — has praised Atzmon for being a “Universalist” & for being a foe of racism & for being a friend of hunanity. (fn5). In a sane society Atzmon would be regarded as a crank. Since our world is insane he will probably be awarded the Noble Peace Prize. Footnotes: fn1.

Obama urges Israel to submit to UN while UNHRC Special Rapporteur Falk compares Hamas to French resistance

US Urges Israel to Partake in UN Human Rights Review – Israel National News http://www.israelnationalnews.com/wap/Item.aspx?type=0&item=164553

“We have encouraged the Israelis to come to the council and to tell their story and to present their own narrative of their own human rights situation,” said Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, the U.S. representative to the United Nations’ Human RightsCouncil in Geneva, AFP reported. Israel cut all ties with the biased 47-member state council last March after it announced that it would probe how Israeli communities beyond the green line may be infringing on the rights of the Arab population. “The United States is absolutely, fully behind the,Universal Periodic Review and we do not want to see the mechanism in any way harmed,” Donahoe said, responding to questions at a conference at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. She said the council and its president, Remigiusz Henczel of Poland, had been working tirelessly to determine if the review should go ahead even if Israel doesn’t participate, as well as what kind of sanctions might be appropriate. “Our very strong hope is that the outcome protects the two overriding values of universality … and the cooperative, collaborative nature of the process,” Donahoe said, according to AFP.”…. …”We see (this) as a structural bias against Israel,” Donahoe said, However, “UPR is different… (It) is a tool that treats all countries equally and is universally applicable,” she said, maintaining that it would be in Israel’s interest to take part in the review. ”…..

So Obama ”the greatest friend Israel has ever had” is urging Israel to submit to a ”review” of its Human Rights record by the rabidly anti-Israel UN Human Rights Commission. (fn1) This comes at a time when Richard Falk –that commission’s Special Rapporteur to the Palestinians– has once again equated Israel to Nazi Germany & added that Hamas is the equivalent of the French Resistance. (fn2) Previously Falk promoted a virulently anti-semitic book ”The Wandering Who?” by Gilad Atzmon(fn3),posted a Anti-semitic cartoon,(see the attached photos & fn4) ,& called for a new investigation into 9/11. (fn5) Falk himself will not conduct the review,but it is grimly ironic that his latest outlandish statement comes at the same time that Israel’s ”friend” Obama is pressuring the country to submit to this farce of a review.

Maureen Dowd’s ”war for the jews” smear

Maureen Dowd’s ”war for the jews” smear http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/09/16/liberal-smear-romneys-war-for-the-jews/ ….” Unlike the rest of the Obama cheerleading squad that occupies the Times opinion pages, she is not content to just bash him for attacking Obama’s apologies, weak leadership and disdain for Israel. Dowd sees him and running mate Paul Ryan as the cat’s-paws of a shadowy group of “powerful” Jewish “neocons” who are out to seize the country in his name and enforce, “a duty to invade and bomb Israel’s neighbors,” on Americans. In a perfect illustration of how hate for Israel shows where the left and right meet, Dowd channeled Pat Buchanan in arguing that Romney/Ryan are the “puppets” of neoconservative conspirators who want Americans to die for Israel. Dowd doubled down on Eric Lewis’ point that it is “outrageous” for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to demand that the president state some red lines about Iran. But all Netanyahu is doing is asking the president to show us that he has some intention of doing something about Iran other than talking about the threat. The pushback from the pro -Obama camp against the suggestion that the administration stop pretending that failed diplomacy and unenforced sanctions will persuade Tehran to give up its nuclear ambition reinforces the suspicion that once he is re -elected, the president will have the “flexibility” to choose to “contain” rather than stop Iran. That is a position that would endanger both the U.S. and Israel. Dowd’s biggest target is Dan Senor, an author and former Bush administration staffer who is one of Romney and Ryan’s top advisors. But neither Senor nor Romney nor any American supporter of Israel needs to apologize to the likes of Dowd for their belief that the U.S. should keep its word to stop Iran. Though those who write about “neocons slithering” are clearly intending to stoke prejudice, even Obama has paid lip service to the fact that a nuclear Iran is a deadly threat to the entire Middle East as well as to the interests of the United States. Though Romney is not always the most consistent or coherent of thinkers about foreign policy, he does seem to understand this dilemma a lot better than Obama and his hateful press hit squad.”

Egypt’s New President Moves Against Democracy – The Washington Institute for Near East Policy

http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/egypts-new-president-moves-against-democracy ….”The incident gave Mr. Morsi an excuse to sack the security officials who posed the greatest threat to his domestic authority — particularly the leaders of Egypt’s now-defunct military junta, which in June had issued its own constitutional declaration limiting the newly elected president’s powers. More important, Mr. Morsi used the Sinai crisis to assume the powers that the junta had undemocratically asserted for itself in a March 2011 constitutional declaration. He thus claimed unprecedented executive power, including complete authority over legislation, public budgets, foreign affairs, pardons, and political and military appointments. Mr. Morsi’s declaration also gives him the power to select a new assembly for writing Egypt’s constitution. And since the new constitution must be approved by popular referendum before new parliamentary elections can be held, Mr. Morsi can intervene in the constitution-writing process to delay legislative elections — and thereby remain Egypt’s sole legislator — indefinitely.”.. ….”Consider the editors he appointed to lead Egypt’s two largest state-run newspapers. The new editor of Al-Ahram is an old Mubarak regime hack who called last year’s uprising “foreign funded” and lost his column in 2010 for writing anti-Christian articles. The new editor of Gomhoriya shut down a conference on religious freedoms in 2008 and called for the murder of a well-known Bahai activist in 2009. The new editor of Al-Akhbar recently censored an article that criticized the Brotherhood. …”In its first major move against dissenters, the Morsi regime this month began prosecuting the editor of Al-Dustour, a private daily, for “harming the president through phrases and wording punishable by law.”… ….”His amendments to last year’s interim constitution give him the authority to sign — and presumably abrogate –treaties. Although many expected that de facto foreign-policy power would remain with the generals, Mr. Morsi’s quick reshuffling of the military leadership has brought the armed forces under his command. Then there are his overtures to adversaries of the West. In a mere six weeks as president, Mr. Morsi has hosted top-level Hamas delegations twice and, despite the flow of militants from Gaza into Sinai, promised to keep open the Rafah border crossing. Last week he welcomed Iran’s vice president and was invited to attend the Non-Aligned Movement’s upcoming meeting in Tehran. If he does, he’d be the first Egyptian head of state to visit Iran since the 1979 revolution. Accompanying him could be his new chief of staff, Mohamed Rifaat al-Tahtawi, a former ambassador to Libya and Iran who has declared Israel to be Egypt’s “main threat,” praised Syria as “a fundamental pillar of the resistance camp [against] Israel,” and called for closer relations with Iran and Hamas.” Many Washington analysts believe that Mr. Morsi won’t make any major foreign-policy moves, such as revoking Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel. They take his verbal assurances at face value and reason that he won’t rock the boat at the very moment that he needs international investment to boost Egypt’s ailing economy. But this same logic once dictated that he wouldn’t rush to challenge Egypt’s generals.”….

Egyptian President Morsi fires generals imposes censorship

RRD:When the “Arab Spring” began, I & several others who support freedom in the Middle-East warned that a rush to elections would prove disastrous since only the Muslim Brotherhood was prepared to win said elections (fn1).I also pointed to actual polling taken of the Egyptians by the Pew Center showing that a large majority of those polled supported the stoning of adulterers,the killing of apostates & other harsh punishments derived from Sharia law (fn2).

The response?

We were either ignored,or mocked, or attacked as ”racists”(even though there is ample precedent for failed revolutions in the West ,such as the French Revolution).
We were told that the revolution was not initiated by the Muslim Brotherhood(which was true),and that the Muslim Brotherhood would not gain power(obviously not true).
When it became apparent that the Muslim Brotherhood would win elections(and even before then, in some cases) we were told of a new phobia,invented by the Muslim Brotherhood and their apologists and useful idiots in the West:Ikhwanophobia;meaning a supposedly unreasonable fear of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oddly these same people never speak of KKKophobia, or BNPophobia,or  FPOophobia, or Jobbikophobia, or FrontNationalophobia, or GoldenDawnophobia (fn3)., but then perhaps those hit too close to home,unlike  the Muslim Brotherhood,whom we are never supposed to “demonize” by applying the same standards to them as we do  to ourselves.
After the Muslim Brotherhood won the elecions they were not supposed to win,we were then told that we had nothing to fear since the Egyptian Military would act as a check on them.
Well now “striking another blow for freedom” Morsi has replaced the Generals in charge of the military.He was handed a justification for this, by the alleged ineptitude displayed by Military in the Sinai debacle.He is also taking over the government run newspapers and persecuting his critics:

…”Muslim Brotherhood President al-Mursi has just removed the two commanding generals of the Egyptian military. Does he have a right to do this? Who knows?There’s no constitution. That means all we were told about not having to worry because the generals would restrain the Brotherhood was false. Moreover, the idea that the army, and hence the government, may fear to act lest they lose U.S. aid will also be false. There is no parliament at present He is now the democratically elected dictator of Egypt. True, he picked another career officer but he has now put forward the principle: he decides who runs the army. The generals can still advise Mursi. He can choose to listen to them or not. But there is no more dual power in Egypt but only one leader. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces which has run Egypt since February 2011 is gone. Only Mursi remains and Egypt is now at his mercy.

Behind the scenes note: Would Mursi dared have done this if he thought Obama would come down on him like a ton of bricks? Would the army give up if they thought America was behind it? No on both counts.

This is a coup. Mursi is bound by no constitution. He can do as he pleases unless someone is going to stop him. And the only candidate–the military–is fading fast, far faster than even we pessimists would have predicted.

Muslim Brotherhood President al-Mursi has also just named the editors of the top Egyptian newspaper and other media outlets. They are state-owned, you know, and there are a half-dozen good little independent newspapers.

But one of them, al-Destour (ironically meaning “The Constitution”), has just had a full issue seized on charges of “fueling sedition” and “harming the president through phrases and wording punishable by law.” We know this through a report in the Middle East News Agency, the state-owned monopoly.

And what was the inflammatory report? That the Brotherhood was going to seize power and that liberals and the army should join together to stop the country from being turned into an Islamist regime.”…

….”Other columnists are charging that the Brotherhood is trying to turn their newspapers into reliable house organs rather than let them be free.”…

This is what the “Arab Spring” has wrought:
A anti-semitic,misogynistic,anti-Christian,anti-gay ,anti-Liberty band of reactionary Neo-Medievalist Islamists,has taken over
a former quasi-pan-arabist dictatorship,(which our tax dollars have armed and equipped with M1 Abrams tanks and F-16 fighter jets since the Camp David Accords.)
Women,”Apostates”,& Coptic Christians & Gays,all get tossed under the bus,along with the Camp David Accords(sooner or later).

Olympics held moments of silence before,but not for Israeli atheletes murdered at Munich #tcot #xcot #jcot

Jewish Blood Is Cheap
The real reason the Olympic Committee refuses to commemorate the Israeli athletes murdered in Munich
By Deborah E. Lipstadt

http://www.jidaily.com/25ccc

”Why the IOC refusal? The Olympic Committee’s official explanation is that the games are apolitical. The
families were repeatedly told by long-time IOC President Juan Samaranch that the Olympic movement
avoided political issues. He seemed to have forgotten that at the 1996 opening ceremony he spoke about
the Bosnian war. Politics were also present at the 2002 games, which opened with a minute of silence
for the victims of 9/11.
The families have also been told that a commemoration of this sort was inappropriate at the opening of
such a celebratory event. However, the IOC has memorialized other athletes who died “in the line of
duty.” At the 2010 winter games, for example, there was a moment of silence to commemorate an
athlete who died in a training accident.”

Anti-semite engages in a Stavroginesque schtick to frighten us with her evilness #antisemitism #jcot

The Most Disgraceful Piece of Anti-Semitism Published in Years « Commentary Magazine

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/07/17/the-most-disgraceful-piece-of-anti-semitism-published-in-years-breaking-bad-anna-breslaw/

RRD:In Dostoevsky’s The Possessed(aka The Devils,aka The Demons) Stavrogin–the villian– delivers a confession to a Father Tikhon.

The confession reveals that Stavrogin has molested a ten year old girl.

To this Father Tikhon responds by critiquing the style of the writing.

This is shocking to the reader at first,until Tikhon continues:He correctly exposes Stavrogin’s confession as essentially being a document designed by Stavrogin to shock us with Stavrogin’s evilness,rather than as a genuine expression of contrition.

In effect Stavrogin is saying:”You think you’ve seen evil!Well wait until you hear of my evil!My evil is unique & daring & bold!It’s the most evil,evil you’ve ever seen”,with the implication that Stavrogin is dark,satanic ,& powerful,& above all frightening.
In reality Stavrogin is like a psychopathic version of the adolescent who scrawls obscenities on a church, for the shock value of it.

His kind of villian thinks that by frightening others with their depravity,they then gain some kind of power over others.

I should add,as a aside,that this is my own reading of that chapter of the novel:the Priest Tikhon is more generous,in that he believes Stavrogin to be sincere.However if that was Dostoevsky’s intention it was overly generous.

Now in the Tablet,a ostensibly Jewish periodical,we have a pathetic little psychopath doing her best to frighten us with her daring & bold evilness.I refer you to the Commentary post above.I see no point in responding at length to her depravity other than to point out that this little wretch wants us to respond to her scribblings,with shock and horror,when the most appropriate response is to shine a light on the ”frightening monster” so that she will be revealed as the toothless rat she is.
