Ed Brayton is a journalist, commentator and speaker. He is the co-founder and president of 
I got this in an email. The name attached to it is Robert Antonellis, who apparently managed to chew through the restraints and take over a computer in the sanitarium he inhabits. His website, christianclout.com, is sort of the standard issue lunatic Christian right rhetoric - I don't mean Jerry Falwell nuts, I don't mean even Gary North nuts, I mean "the Jews are hatching a secret plan to kill the Christians and enslave the planet" nuts. Texe Marrs kind of whackos. And boy are they fun. Antonellis even has a list of people who will try and stop him and it's quite an amusing list:
Here's a short list of the well funded people and organizations which may exact their revenge against me in court: Jane Fonda, Mike Savage, Ted Kennedy, Dominose, Bain Capital, Wal-Mart, John Kerry, Henry Kissinger, Target, Jimmy Carter, Rush Limbaugh, Tyson Foods, Warren Buffet, Matt Drudge, Walter Kronkite, H.B. Hunt, Barney Frank, Microsoft, Obama, Star Market, The Oprah, President Hu of China, IBM, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, General Electric, Feingold of McCain-Feingold, Comverse, The Bushes and the Walker klan, Odigo, Duval Patrick, Hugo Chavez, Citgo, Petrol Express, Merryl Lynch, King of Dubai, President of Iran, Fundtech, Putin, Bill Gates, Al Gore, Spielberg, Rupert Murdoch, the Rothchilds, Dick Morris, New York Stock Exchange, George Soros, the Rockefellers, the Rockefeller Institute, Mayor Michael Bromberg, Fred Thomas, the Warburgs, Mitt Romney, Domino's Pizza, Papa Johns, et al.
The "et al" is a nice touch, just in case he missed someone. Also nice that he can't even be bothered to spell the names of his Evil Overlords correctly. But hey, any project that brings Jane Fonda together with Michael Savage ought to be fun to watch, don't you think? Oh, I forgot to tell you what his conspiracy theory is. Here ya go:
The Clintons and the "Mainstream Media" have been hiding their involvement in the creation of the man-made pandemic called AIDS and that this dread disease serves Jewish interests. And they have hidden the truth that they exported poison blood from an Arkansas prison for injection into the arms of black school children in Africa, to fulfill China's Africa Policy: exterminate the indigineous population to make room for wave upon wave of Chinese immigrants yet to come.Once China occupies Africa, they will seize control of the Mediterranean Sea and choke off America's primary source of energy. This is the reason the Jews (disguised as environmentalists) have not allowed America to drill domestically for oil or build nuclear power plants for decades. And once China controls the Mediterranean Sea, they can turn the continent of Europe red with communism and the blood of Christians, and finally fulfill the Jew's eternal goal: to plant the head of the Pope on a pole in Vatican City in sight of the Holy See.
I'll give it 850 milli-Hovinds on the lunatic scale.

Come On!! Now that is some crack-pottery. What sort of drugs does one have to take in order to come up with that? You have to be impressed at the sheer magnitude of it.

If we had one Jew come forth with AIDS that would throw off his whole claim, right? We should begin searching.

Who would have thought the JewsTM, and I share a goal? Small world.
When I worked on Capital Hill, we would get badly-mimeographed pages of this stuff all the time. I don't imagine it has gotten any better after 9/11. Still, there are no better moments than watching a new intern open the mail for the first time and spray their coffee across the desk.

ok, just so I'm clear on this... (like that's possible), the Clintons were involved far before Bill's presidency in letting lose a pandemic which would obliterate America's place in the world?
Also, why would China want Africa? I don't get it at all (for which I'm eternally grateful, if this was making sense I think I'd have to remove myself immediately from contact with the interwebs)

All those names puts me in mind of a gag from The Simpsons.
Sideshow Bob: Homer, how can one man have so many enemies?
Homer: I'm a People Person! ... who drinks.

I like the fact two different pizza chains are plotting against him; at least he can still go out for Chinese.
Uh...wait...

Finally Someone with the balls to come out with the Truth that noted left-wingers Rush Limbaugh and George Bush are out to get all the Christians.
ps: Mr. Antonellis - I don't think the Pope is into pole dancing.

"the Jews are hatching a secret plan to kill the Christians and enslave the planet" nuts
That would be Pat Robertson style nuts.

I got this too, and you missed the best part:
"Tallyho! No time for pleasantries. This is General Douglas MacArthur, and I've prepared the foregoing summary of the Secret Jewish War Against Humanity I uncovered while completing my first mission. You see, I was brought back to life as a supercomputer character, running on the fastest supercomputer on earth: the IQ.12000."
Abraham Lincoln was also brought back as a supercomputer!

I'm not sure whether I find it amusing or horrifying that his demented vision is so similar to the plot of Frank Zappa's never-staged faux Broadway musical "Thing-Fish".
http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/index.php/Thing-Fish
Zappa exaggerates the yuppie trends of the mid-'80s (Harry is gay for "career purposes"; Rhonda embodies the ultra-feminist) and slips into the plot concerns about the spread of AIDS being the result of governmental scientific experiments. It's crazy, offensive, barely holding together, but it sure is entertaining.

Since Ann Coulter is not on the list, she (he) must be one of the good girls (guys).

That would just mean it wasn't a real Jew, or, more likely, that whoever presents him with this aids-infected Jew is actually just a liar and a Jew-shill.

Isn't the head honcho of Domino's Pizza an uber-Catholic? Why would he want the Pope's head on a pole? And the fact that one half of the people who are out to get him hate the other half....
(I know, I shouldn't ask for consistency in whackjob ravings).

I don't know. Looks to me like someone's been playing with a new version of MadLibs.

I thought the inclusion of Papa John's was odd. I used to work for that company and I've spent quite a bit of time around John Schnatter, the owner. Color me stumped.

Hey, I made the guy's spam list too. This is one of my favorite lines...
Bill Gates (a Jew) bought $25 billion worth of Forced African Circumcisions in furtherance of the Secret Jewish War Against Humanity and to force Africa's submission to the Yamaka.
And another...
Communists are Jews
Mao-Tsedong was a Rothschild Jew
Lenin and Trotsky were Jews and funded by New York Jew bankers before World War I
Stalin was a Jew and was called Uncle Joe by Roosevelt (a Jew, Rosenfelt) and Churchill (a Jew)
Bill Clinton became a Jew at the grave of Lenin in 1968
Hillary Clinton became a Jew as the adopted Jewish father, who was the subject of her Welleley College thesis adopted daughter of Alinsky, a Jew Communist Agitator
Who new there where so many Jews in the world, who new...

"finally fulfill the Jew's eternal goal: to plant the head of the Pope on a pole in Vatican City in sight of the Holy See."
That's an awful lot of bother to go through just to get one guy. Wouldn't it be easier to just get a couple of Mossad agents to sneak into Vatican City?
Considering how many people are listed as Jews by this guy ("Judeo-Turks"?) one has to wonder, who does this guy think is not a Jew?

He himself, obviously. But I don't think he's entirely sure about this. Paranoia can be hard on people...

How you forgotten that the previous pope was a Pole? No good conspiracy theorist must overlook a connection of such obvious significance!

Psychosis sometimes reveals itself in very articulate stories and imaginations. Back in the day I lived near one of Reagan's homes for the mentally ill that were placed in typical neighborhoods. This one was in Hermosa Beach, CA.
In any case, there were a couple of very interesting folks there who had worldview stories like that and who would gladly explain all the details for anyone who would ask. I was impressed at the amount of vivid detail and how elements could be brought in from any newsworthy or historic event and woven into the fabric of the whole thing. I think that Mr. Antonellis' tales are well into that region of discourse and are interesting at the psychological level, but certainly not on the political.

I'm a little surprised at all of these comments. This guy (Robert Antonellis) should be pitied and possibly cared for medically, not attacked or made fun of. It's sad to see someone so out of touch with reality, but it's even more sad to see such a person attacked...
Posted by: Glenn Westcott | October 27, 2007 11:12 AM
Glenn, That's what i was trying to get at in my post above yours - but you said it better. Thanks

If Robert Antonellis wants a hug, he can buy a dog. All he's gonna find here is ridicule.

I once read a series of letters from a person on lithium. They were just as whack and somewhat more coherent. SO If I was guessing, I'd guess this cretin is heavily involved in a lithium diet of some kind. Aren't they all?

According to the WaPo today, the Unitary Decider is a world class hugger. He can help one of his own, surely?
Also, I find the "et al" to be hilarious, as there is no logical grouping that I can see (thankfully) of the folks on that list. Does "et al" mean "whatever the loudest voice in my head tells me at a given moment"?
Sort of the wacko version of "I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks..."

WoW... Churchill a Jew? Really? People believe that? I am constantly amazed by what people can come up with when they make the conscious decision to be ignorant.
