  but leaving that aside, I claim that I already got an enormous amount out of Lacan, and I tried to demonstrate this in an earlier comment on this very thread:

  Now changing the subject, a trifle too hastily, to lying military disinfologists who take advantage of what one would like to believe about the order of battle between the forces of colonialism and anticolonialism in the near east, I want to say that several times in the last week or two I have had an eerie sense that people in such places as Haaretz are keeping rather too quiet when I cite some dubious source, because they want to see how credulous I am, and what it says about my subconscious will to believe that they, the Haaretzians, are part of a great wall of zionist liars. It's this eerie silence that gives them away, you see. And this is the only rational explanation for it : they know that the writings of "Franklin Lamb" (at CounterPunch) and "Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya" (at Global Research) are sometimes or always fakes. I often become certain subsequently that certain items by these writers are fakes, when I blog something by one of them, start editing it for clarity, and begin to see holes in it. It's fascinating. It quite takes my mind off those pesky advertisements. Today's Franklin Lamb effort is especially implausible, when you look at it closely.
