Descartes and anti-semitism

Something reminded me on an article I did years ago for BBC online about popular conspiracy theories. This is a bit like Descates and his idea of the Evil Demon who deceives everyone about everything (for David Icke this is updated to super-intelligent lizards from another planet who have morphed themselves into the British Royal family - possible I suppose and unlike, say the book of genesis, impossible to refute by means of empirical evidence. We are talking today about French anti-semitism in the wake of Dreyfus and the Commune, and Action Francais who, during the second world war were so anti-semitic that even the SS had to restrain them. Modern anti-semitism dates back in the main to French pulp fiction from the third republic, where books like those of Edouard Drumont - very much the Da Vinci Code of his day. These works of fiction - presented as fact - were later used as 'evidence' of a world jewish conspiracy. See: Paranoia Paradise.

David Icke - psychopathic anti-semitism.
