World Domination, Inc.

Sherif Hetata analyses the forces -- religious, corporatist and militarist -- that are busily earmarking funds to buy George W Bush a second term and underwrite an emerging "Pax Israelica"

Sherif Hetata I am writing from the living room of my apartment on Peaks Island, near the coast of Maine in the northeastern corner of the United States. From my window I can see the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Living for some time in the US has also allowed me to follow the successive waves of influence of a powerful Zionist wing within the Bush administration, how it has built up an alliance with the strong and active Christian fundamentalist movement, and to realise what is being planned for the future of the Middle East.

Bush is already preparing for the 2004 presidential campaign and has been able to collect $200,000,000 for it. The most active supporters of his campaign will be Zionist forces, the Christian fundamentalist movement and the Catholic right. Together they constitute a powerful electoral force buttressed by multinationals -- especially those involved in arms manufacturing, in oil, in the pharmaceutical industry and in the media -- as well as many higher levels in the armed forces in a country undergoing rapid militarisation. Kanan Makiya, an Iraqi based in Washington, DC and a member of the Iraqi National Council headed by Ahmed Chalabi, commenting on the projected war against Iraq a few months before it was launched, said "The removal of Saddam Hussein presents the United States in particular with a historic opportunity that I believe is going to prove to be as large as anything that has happened in the Middle East since the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the entry of the British troops into Iraq in 1917."

As many now know, in 1996 a group of neo- conservatives with declared Zionist leanings and links to the Israeli Likud Party joined together to prepare a report for Benjamin Netanyahu, then prime minister of the Likud government. The group was headed by Richard Perle, a former assistant secretary in the State Department under former President Ronald Reagan, and a member of the Defence Policy Board which advises current Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The ad hoc committee included Douglas Feith, now an assistant secretary for Policy in the Ministry of Defence, David Wurmser from the Middle East division of the American Enterprise Institute and the International Association for Security Policy Studies, the latter's president Robert Loewenburg, Meyrav Wurmser, David Wurmser's wife from the Middle East Media Research Institute run by retired Israeli military and intelligence officers and which includes as one of its main functions translating Arab media as well as statements made by Arab politicians and statesmen. Jonathan Torop from The Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a member of the board of governors of the Middle East Forum (directed by Daniel Pipes, the pro-Israeli analyst and member of the presidentially- appointed board of the US Institute of Peace), as well as other high level political experts with overt Zionist links. The report was prepared for the high powered Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), which serves as a coordinating body for the activities of the various Zionist organisations in the US.

Its recommendations, presented to Netanyahu, were as follows: 1) Make a "clear break" with the policy of negotiating with the Palestinians and attempts to exchange "land for peace". 2) Israel should shape its "strategic" environment by weakening, containing and even "rolling back" Syria. 3) Iraq's future can be made to affect the strategic balance in the Middle East profoundly. 4) The principle of "preemption" should be reestablished. These guidelines for Israeli policy are being put into practice in the US under George W Bush, and by the government of Israel under Ariel Sharon. As regards the principle of "preemptive strikes" it would not be far fetched to say that it is in part Likud inspired, if we remember that the first "preemptive" strike on an Arab country was directed by Israel against the Iraqi nuclear reactor more than 20 years ago.

The presence of a powerful Zionist influence in the American administration is not new. However, in the present administration high level post appointments to Zionists have gained a striking ascendancy, and have eliminated any Arab leanings to speak of, even though the oil connections of the Bush family, of Vice President Dick Cheney, of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and others, continue to play an important role. Neo-conservative Zionist politicians and rhetoricians today occupy key positions. Top of the list comes Paul Wolfowitz. He is the deputy undersecretary to Donald Rumsfeld, yet is considered by many to be more influential than his boss. Others include Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, mentioned above, Lewis Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, Peter Rodman and Dov Zakheim, whom both occupy sub- cabinet rank appointments in the Ministry of Defence, John Bolton, undersecretary for arms procurements at the State Department, Eliot Abrams, an Iran-Contra convict appointed by President Bush to be in charge of Middle East Affairs in the National Security Council, and David Frum, of the right-wing American Enterprise Institute and who coined the term "Axis of Evil" for use in presidential speeches. James Woolsey, former head of the CIA, and Jeane Kirkpartick, Reagan's ambassador to the United Nations, are also present. And let's not forget William Kristol, the editor of the Evening Standard (owned by Rupert Murdoch, the Australian media magnate who owns Fox News, which boasts over 100 million viewers), and a co-founder of the neo-conservative imperial "Project for a New American Century".

All these high level policy makers believe that US interests in the Middle East coincide largely with those of Israel and as a result the policies of the present administration and the measures it takes should be directed towards making the area "safe" for the self-proclaimed Jewish state. In the neo-conservative strategy papers drawn up six years ago "making the Middle East safe for Israel" meant "redefining Iraq" after "getting rid of Saddam Hussein and his tyrannical regime", transforming of the Middle East by "redrawing its map", including "regime changes" of governments in the area not completely in line with "American and Israeli interests", "nurturing alternatives to Arafat" and "the end of the Israeli- Palestinian peace process". The enthusiasm with which Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others have adopted this stance means that America is now throwing all its weight behind a "Pax Israelica"; behind a total subordination of Arab countries to the predominance of Israel as part of a new imperial plan. It means that Bush's declarations about two states, Israeli and Palestinian, or the "roadmap", or other "non-proposals" of the kind are just smokescreens, or manoeuvres aimed at gaining time until "Sharon" has done his job of "cleansing" Palestine, or of imposing total subjugation on a Palestinian "Bantustan".

Meanwhile the US thinks it can go on with executing the rest of the neo-conservative plan for a permanent military presence in Iraq -- which will guarantee the flow of oil -- with other "preemptive strikes" against Syria (where Sharon has already directed a "symbolic" raid), or against Iran, or any other country in the area where disobedience might grow, or which could constitute a potential threat to US-Israeli interests as visualised by the rulers of those two countries.

Although all these policy nightmares might appear to many people as exaggerated, what has happened since the 11 September attack on the World Trade Centre (which gave the Bush administration the possibility to go ahead with these plans) should alert the peoples of our region and the world to how far the Bush administration is prepared to go. "Preemptive strikes" in the minds of those who developed the concept as policy does not mean waiting until a country has developed nuclear, biological or chemical weapons capable of "mass destruction". It exacts the right to strike at any country which has "the potential" to eventually produce such weapons; in other words at any country with a modicum of development, since the production of chemical and biological weapons in particular is not so difficult an undertaking. This is tantamount to declaring that our societies will not be allowed to develop further, nor allowed to voice any opposition to the United States. They must remain "backward" and "obedient".

So after Iraqi oil has been privatised, the resistance of the Iraqi people quelled (if that is possible), and a permanent military base established, the Bush administration can move on to another stage. A report suggesting military action against Syria was circulated and released three years ago. The signatures on the report included Elliot Abrams, chosen specially by Bush to deal with "democracy and human rights" in the Middle East, according to his official job description within the National Security Council. Signing with him were Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, David Steinmann (chairman of JINSA), David Wurmser and Michael Rubin (the latter both senior consultants to the Pentagon and State Department on policies related to Iraq). All these men are neo-conservative, Zionist supporters of Israel with strong ties to Likud.

On Monday 21 October 2003 Paul Wolfowitz received an award from the Centre for Security Policy chaired by Frank Gaffney, a notorious Zionist and neo-conservative. In his speech Wolfowitz concentrated on the "war against terror". Iraq he said had become a breeding ground for terror from which it could spread to "countries around" and to many other parts of the globe. But things will not stop at Syria or Iran. Next can come changes in the geopolitical structure of Saudi Arabia, seizing of the oil fields and dismantling the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Then, or perhaps at the same time, will come Egypt's turn, for Egypt with its population, its potentialities, although weakened considerably, is still seen as a threat to Israel. Maybe a North Egypt/South Egypt divide built on fomenting religious strife well be how it goes. For then, and only then, in the minds of neo-conservative empire planners can US-Israeli domination rule undisturbed and the Pax Israelica become a fact of life. It's not so far fetched. In August 2002 Richard Perle discussed a policy briefing presented by a study group commissioned by the Rand Corporation. The final slide in the presentation described "Iraq as the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia as the strategic pivot and Egypt as the prize."

What might appear as the wild fantasy of a neo-conservative, military-industrial cabal, enjoys the full approval of a sizeable, active sector of American society. Zionist circles are now closely allied to a powerful fundamentalist movement which has grown noticeably since Reagan was in power, more than 20 years ago. This coupled with the relative passivity of a silent majority in the US increases the dangers we face.

The most zealous Christian supporters of the Likud in the Republican electorate are Southern Protestant, Baptist, Evangelical and other fundamentalist followers. By the 1994 Congressional elections Christian conservatives cast two of every five Republican votes. This religious right believes that God gave all of Palestine to the Jews. Fundamentalist congregations and fundamentalist business circles have collected hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidise Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. The Zionists in the Bush administration have helped to speed up the growth of a messianic strain of Christian fundamentalism which considers warfare between Israelis and Arabs as ordained by God, and complete occupation and domination of Palestine as a necessary condition for the fulfilment of the Biblical "millennium" End of Days, and the appearance of the Messiah who will rule the world for one thousand years from Jerusalem.

These right-wing extremists exert a considerable influence in the Bush administration. The result is that Jewish fundamentalists struggling to impose Israeli domination, and Christian fundamentalists working for the so-called "millennial" End of Days, strengthen one another and increase the changes of a religious war. They are allied for an agenda which aims at implementing a vast imperial restructuring of the Middle East, reinforced by multinationals pirating for oil and the tremendous powers exercised by people like Bush, Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.

Irrespective of a few symbolic declarations from the Bush administration meant to help justify the craven policies of Arab regimes obedient to the United States in the eyes of the Arab peoples, and to encourage the illusion that the "peace process" is still alive, Sharon therefore has powerful support from the United States. Only recently, on two occasions, John Negroponte, the US representative in the UN Security Council, vetoed two resolutions promoted by the Arab States. The first resolution called on Israel to cease building the "wall" separating it and the scattered enclaves meant to "imprison" the Palestinians on limited areas of their land. The second was a resolution condemning the Israeli aerial bombing of Syria. These vetoes have underlined the collapse of the "roadmap" comedy initiated by Bush. The building of the "wall" or "fence" composed of an armoured zone of ditches, fences, sensors, and dirt roads for tracking footprints goes ahead. It is 28 feet high in places. It occupies, steals and divides Palestinian farmland. It destroys Palestinian villages, homes and livelihoods. It costs one million dollars for each mile.

Recently, during the third week of October, there were two simultaneous raids on Rafah separated by two days -- the biggest raids in many months. The first raid killed eight people, two of whom were children, and made 100 homeless. The second killed another eight people, wounded scores and destroyed 1,000 homes by bulldozers or rockets and made over 1,200 people homeless. The Israelis in order to clear space between the "fence" and Rafah had already previously razed 620 homes. Meanwhile, the Herut- offspring minister in Sharon's cabinet, Ehud Olmert, proposed that Yasser Arafat be assassinated to be rid of him once and for all. On 16 September 2003 the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution asking Israel to desist from its threats to deport him. Israel continues to build new settlements or expand old ones, and to change the face of Jerusalem. Palestinians are being steadily corralled into shrinking Bantustans and made to subsist on grossly inadequate European or other-country aid.

As the days go by it has become clear that Sharon has no intention of dismantling the settlements and handing back occupied territory to the Palestinians. There are a quarter of a million heavily armed, and heavily subsidised, Israeli settlers in these territories and their numbers are growing. Most of these settlers are prepared to kill if they are asked to, and many of them are hard-headed fundamentalists with a terrorist streak. Israel has consistently and blatantly refused to respect UN resolutions demanding withdrawal from the occupied territories. Israel is also the only Middle Eastern state known to possess genuine and lethal weapons of mass destruction. Israel under Sharon has decided to keep control of the "occupied territories", and to get rid of the overwhelming majority of the Arab-Palestinian population either by violence and forcible expulsion, or by depriving them of any means of livelihood so that in the face of starvation they choose to leave. Israel knows that with the Iraqi war the United States under Bush has finally decided to destabilise the Middle East and reconfigure the region in a manner that would be favourable to her.

If there are still people who think that Sharon's ethnic plans are unthinkable they should try to follow the steady erosion of opposition to these plans during the past years within Israel itself. They should also remember the steady increase in land settlements and land seizures over the past 25 years, and the many statements made by right-wing Israeli politicians and generals at the helm. The peace process is in its death throes. As Arabs, we must seriously assess the magnitude of the forces our people face. Only then might we address not merely prudently, but realistically, the issue of supporting the Palestinian resistance.

Maybe I have painted a rather bleak and frightening picture of what the peoples of our region face. I realise that such a picture can become counter productive in the struggle against neo- imperialist forces. These forces are intent on convincing us that they are so powerful, so overwhelming that there is no use trying to resist. If they succeed in doing so truly all is lost. But numerous peoples all over the world have become, or are becoming convinced that resistance is desirable, and possible, and that their resistance sooner or later will prevail. People who think that way do not limit themselves to remembering the massive pre-war demonstrations that broke out before America and the United Kingdom launched their attack against Iraq. On 25 October 2003 a new wave of demonstrations swept through streets in countries including the US. Already, things are not going entirely according to the neo-imperialist plan.

Bush was hoping that resistance to his aggressive policies would be vanquished by the exercise of overwhelming military force first in Afghanistan but more importantly in Iraq. Once the Iraqi army was crushed the US occupation forces would be able to destroy, coerce or bribe any potential resistance. Then the Bush administration could move quickly to privatise Iraqi oil and engage its next "major theatre" wars against Syria, Iran, North Korea, and others. But what is happening in Afghanistan is largely surrounded by silence. The truth is that apart from Kabul the occupation forces control nothing. The rest is divided up among the warlords, but more significant is the fact that the Taliban are steadily regaining control of important parts of the land they had lost, and that US forces there are facing something akin to the war of attrition that sapped the lifeblood of the Soviets for 10 years until their final, ignominious withdrawal in February 1989.

However, the more pressing problem is Iraq. With 150,000 troops stationed in the country, attacks against the occupation forces are spreading, control is loosening and difficulties are increasing. American families are losing their sons. General Anthony Zinni, former head of the Central Command of US military forces, asks "Are we facing another Vietnam?" as the "resistance fighters" gain more experience and versatility, and as popular resistance expresses itself in a variety of ways. Some of these "fighters" may be coming from other places, some of them may be fundamentalists but the majority come from the ranks of the Iraqi people who for so long have had it the hard way. The chances of an early withdrawal is becoming more and more remote as the period of active service for troops is continuously extended. A month or so ago a small item appeared in The New York Times announcing that new forces would be recruited for the National Guard and the Reserves, upon whom the US government draws in composing the Iraqi occupation forces.

With a total national deficit which has reached almost half-a-trillion (500 million) dollars the Bush administration asked for, and got, an extra $87 billion for "Emergency Spending" on Iraq and Afghanistan. This is in addition to the first instalment of $75 billion granted previously by Congress (the first Gulf war in 1991, by comparison, cost $9 billion, paid mainly by the Gulf countries). The occupation of Iraq costs $6 billion a month, shouldered by American taxpayers in a situation where they face growing economic difficulties. In 2002 the number of unemployed rose by 1,350,000, and the number of those who were no longer covered by health insurance increased by two million. All at a time when the rich are paying less taxes.

All these factors, combined with a rapid loss of whatever civil liberties and democratic rights were enjoyed by American citizens, is reflected in recent "opinion polls" which show that in the past six months those supporting the "war policies" of the Bush administration have dropped from 70 per cent to 49 per cent. The Bush administration is therefore facing mounting pressures which make a military blow against Syria or Iran more unlikely, although some neo- conservatives in the administration seem to think that the policy of the "worst" gives them a freer hand to follow the path they have chosen. Besides, Israel is always there to act as a proxy with full US support.

So you want to write for the Islamic media? Nothing could be simpler - just take a set of truthful statements, half-truths, and out-and-out falsehoods, pile it all together, and wrap it in a big red bow labeled "Jews"!

As SJackson just pointed out, this bozo lives in Maine.

Rather anonymously, so far. Perhaps some Maine freepers ought to (peacefully!) express their Constitutionally protected opinions about this sort of thing...

Then who pays this Islamofacists to stay in his apartment to write this trash.

Presumably the people who buy his (and his wife's) books and attend his lectures. As seems to be typical of Arab intellectuals, they prefer not to live in Arab countries.

Sherif Hetata

Sherif Youssef Hetata is a novelist and medical doctor. He is married to Nawal El Saadawi and has two children. He occupied various posts and functions since he graduated from the medical college with honors in 1946. These included a period of eight years with the International Labour Organization in Asia, then in Africa. During that period he was Head of a Team of Experts on Population and Migration.

He has written on many subjects including travel, politics and health, but since 1968 has devoted himself to novels. He has translated some of his own works as well as some of the works of Nawal El Saadawi into English. He was Assistant Editor of the magazine, Health, in the early 1970s and of the feminist magazine, Noon, in the early nineties.

He has travelled extensively in Europe, Africa, Asia and the United States, and has participated in many conferences and carried out lecture tours in various countries. In Egypt he was a member of the Board of the Medical Syndicate and participated in founding the Association for Health Education in 1969, and the Arab Women's Solidarity Association in 1982. He speaks and writes Arabic, English and French fluently. He worked for nine years in the Egyptian government service. First in the Ministry of Health planning and organizing primary health care services in rural areas, then in the planning department of the public sector drug industry, and lastly in the Supreme Council for Population and Family Planning. During the last period he attended several regional conferences on population and migration, spent three months at Chicago University in an exchange program, and participated in negotiations with the World Bank.

Half of his period with the ILO was spent in Asia and the other half in Africa. In Asia he was based in New Delhi and was responsible for developing projects on population and migration with the concerned government authorities in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He travelled extensively especially in India where he visited most of the states. He worked closely with high level government officials, parliamentarians, university professors, research institutes, political parties, trade unions and non-governmental organization. During this period he also travelled to Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines. Many of these travels and experiences are reflected in his book, "The Way of Salt and Love." During this period ten projects related to population and migration were developed, and assisted by his office in the ILO. In Africa he was based in Addis Ababa and travelled extensively in Saharan Africa where he visited twelve countries in both the Eastern, Southern and Western parts of the continent. He worked for several years at the head of a task force in the Egyptian Medical Syndicate on policies and plans related to primary health care and health insurance and his professional experience in this area was reflected in his book, "Health and Development." (Dar El Maaref Publishing House, 1968.)

There are many reviews of his works in the Arabic press and some in the English press but these are documented at home in Egypt.

He has attended several international writers' conferences in Helsinki, London, Johannesburg, and Copenhagen. He received the Gold Medal of the Faculty of Medicine in Physiology. He has lectured in many universities including Cambridge, Norwich, Sussex, London, Amsterdam, Harvard, North Carolina State University, Chicago University and others. He has given public lectures in many countries of the world and has taught for two semesters at Duke University, and one semester at the University of Washington in Seattle. The courses were on creativity, resistance literature and the Arab World and Women.

Nawal El Saadawi

Nawal El Saadawi is a novelist, a psychiatrist and a writer who is well known both in the Arab countries and in many other parts of the world. Her novels and her books on the situation of women in Egyptian and Arab society have had a deep effect on successive generations of young women over the last three decades.

As a result of her literary and scientific writings she has had to face numerous difficulties and even dangers in her life. In 1972 she lost her job in the Egyptian government. The magazine, Health, which she had founded and editted for more than three years was closed down. In 1981 President Sadat put her in prison. She was released one month after his assassination.

Today her name figures on the one of the death lists issued by some fanatical terrorist organizations. This list was also publicized in a neighboring Arab country and in cassettes which are widely distributed all over the country.

On June 15, 1991, the government issued a decree which closed down the Arab Women's Solidarity Association over which she presides and hand over its funds to the Association called Women in Islam. Six months before this decree the government closed down the magazine, Noon, published by the Association. She was Editor in Chief of this Magazine.

Nawal El Saadawi has been awarded several national and international literary prizes, and has lectured in many universities and participated in many international and national conferences. Her works have been translated into over 30 languages all over the world, and some of them are taught in a number of university colleges in different countries.

These universities include in Egypt: The American University in Cairo; Cairo University; Ain Sham University in Cairo. In the United States; Duke University; The University of Washington in Seattle; Harvard University; Yale University; New York University; Columbia University; The University of California at Berkeley; The University of Illinois; Georgetown University; The University of Virginia; UCLA; Indiana University and others. She has lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, at the Sorbonne in Paris, at Bern University in Switzerland, and widely throughout the rest of Europe.

Congrats to both of you. This is the first time I've seen them come after right wing Catholics.

We're in honored company :-))

Seriously, though, it IS an interesting addition. Al Qaeda targeted the Pope in 1995, according to the link below, but Islamic mainstream, if there is such a thing, hasn't openly mentioned their emnity towards Catholics recently.

Just another muslim, who has no business in this country enjoying a view of the calm Atlantic, whining over the swamp being drained in the Middle East.

The Road Map, was not some ploy, each step of the way these barbarians have been offered the opportunity to accept Israel and live in a civil peaceful manner. Each opportunity they have cast aside. That's on them, not Israel or the Administration.

The object is not to keep Muslim countries backward and poor, just the opposite is true in fact. This guy is whining about the chance for freedom, self determination, and growth offered the average citizen in the Middle East.
Bush is the best thing to ever happen to the smucks. And the worst thing that ever happened to dictators over there.

Christians do think that ALL of Israel belongs to the Jews. We do not wander off after drunken pedophiles, a robber of caravans, who calls God a liar and through his writings, that fly in the face of the documents that he claims his writings are based on, attempts to steal the birth right of the sons of Isaac and falsely give them to a half breed named Ismael who God did not leave without honor. He just doesn't get first place and rightly so.

We are the best friends of Israel and proud to be counted as such. Unlike the Muslim we honor God's will and bless God's people. Every individual is granted the grace and opportunity to be grafted into that tree.

What documents Muslims acknowledge they twist and pervert in their war against God. So get use to it buddy, you all started this fight and we are gonna finish it.

You know, the funny thing is that the people who are most critical of this government are writing against if from this country... If he had written something this critical of an arab government, he would have "disapeared" by now...

He is probably a sought after lecturer for hire at many liberal colleges. So the parents of the students at those colleges pay him to write these articles of hate. A couple of all expense paid lectures at $6k to $10K per half hour lecture each month is a nice living.

Pseudo-intellectuals like him and many democrats seem to think that unless one is for complete destruction of the Jews, then one is an enemey. Hey, what a concept except that his Islamic fundamentalist friends are much shorter and to the point.

Seems like your typical Arab/Islamic rant to me. After a while, they all seem alike.

Perhaps this is all for the best. Let them shake in their boots over America's military might. Let them be so frightened that they are afraid to attack.

I am seriously considering changing the Ping List tagline as seen below.

You have failed to include the clandestine secret society of the Jewish Ninjas!

Same here. Yay for the conspiracy. If only it were true, how awesome that would be. :)

I'm pleased that as a very conservative obervant Roman Catholic with Jewish ancestors, I am viewed as a member of the conspiracy.

Where's my chainmail and destrier? Any of you co-conspirators volunteer to be my page? Will train.

This man is a certifiable, stark-raving lunatic.

It is "also" very "difficult" to understand him since every "term" or "phrase" requires "quotes."

Or is this a "Maine thing"?

I really liked this paragraph the best.......

Its recommendations, presented to Netanyahu, were as follows: 1) Make a "clear break" with the policy of negotiating with the Palestinians and attempts to exchange "land for peace". 2) Israel should shape its "strategic" environment by weakening, containing and even "rolling back" Syria. 3) Iraq's future can be made to affect the strategic balance in the Middle East profoundly. 4) The principle of "preemption" should be reestablished. These guidelines for Israeli policy are being put into practice in the US under George W Bush, and by the government of Israel under Ariel Sharon. As regards the principle of "preemptive strikes" it would not be far fetched to say that it is in part Likud inspired, if we remember that the first "preemptive" strike on an Arab country was directed by Israel against the Iraqi nuclear reactor more than 20 years ago.

"Or is this a "Maine thing"?"

Actually, when a writer overuses either quotes, exclamation points, or their text is riddled with various combinations of bold or capitalized italics, it smacks of hype rather than a calm, confident, carefully reasoned approach to their argument.

In this case, I feel the guy was trying to convince himself of his own material, in the face of what is probably a single shred of logical reason left in him. But it looks like his "insanity" is getting the upper hand!!!
