Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said in an interview published on Tuesday that widespread criticism of a recent remark he made about Jews showed "arrogant" Jews controlled the world.
"The reaction of the world shows that they (the Jews) control the world," Mahathir, who steps down at the end of the month after 22 years in power, told the newspaper.
"Israel is a small country. There are not so many Jews in the world. But they are so arrogant, they defy the whole world. Even if the United Nations says no, they go ahead. Why? Because they have the backing of all these people," Mahathir said.
News accounts had ignored his condemnation of all violence, including suicide bombings, and his call on Muslims to heed the teachings of the Koran and talk peace with Israel.
Asked why he thought this was the case, Mahathir replied: "Well, many newspapers are owned by Jews. They only see that angle and they have a powerful influence over the thinking of many people. Only their side of the picture is given now."
"What a maroon!" said Baron Hunchback von Hohenstauffen, head of the Bavarian Illuminati. "Of course, the Jews are only part of the picture. We control them, the World Bank, the New York Times , the Trilateral commission, and of course Archer-Daniels Midland. So it's not really a matter of Jews getting good press coverage as it is a matter of us deciding to give pinheads like Mahathir bad press. So we just publicicze what eh says, which looks pretty darn stupid in English, and he's sunk. Score one for the Illuminati!!" The Baron then high-fived this reporter.
Others disagreed, however. "Illuminati, Shluminati," scoffed Whiplash Fotheringill III, head of the Inbred Thin-Lipped WASPs of Greenwich. "Those losers wouldn't whip up a slander campaign against the pigeons in the park. If you want real pull you need to mobilize the AP, the Washington Post, and ABC, all of which we control."
"ABC? ABC??" screeched Erthen Emmelingus, of the Gaia Liberation front. "We control the freakin' weather, OK? The cosmic cycles of birth and rebirth, the sowing of the crops and the reaping of the harvest. You can take your TV talking heads and stuff them in a sack, buster. We control what goes on."
"Women control nothing. They are an abomination," this according to O. B. Laden, of no fixed address, Pakistan. "Clearly my Mujahideen brethren and I control the fate of the world, because we haven't been entirely killed yet."
Told of these competing claims for world domination, Ronnald McDonald Just smiled his painted-on smile.
