Jews and Marxists Censoring Wikipedia On-Line Encyclopedia:
The following neutral point of view article at Wikipedia, an on-line encyclopedia, on Cosmotheism has been relentlessly edited and censored by a few Jews and Social-Marxists to slander and mis-lead any readers. See below:
'''Cosmotheism''' is a form of [[classical pantheism]] that identifies [[God]] with the ''cosmos'', that is, with the [[universe]] as a unified whole.
==Overview==
Cosmotheism asserts that "all is within God and God is within all". It considers the nature of reality and of existence to be mutable and destined to co-evolve towards a complete "universal consciousness", or godhood.
[[etymology|Etymologically]], ''Cosmotheism'' differs from 'Pan-theism' in that "pan" is [[Ancient Greek|Classical Greek]] for ''all'', while the Greek word ''cosmos'' means an orderly and harmonious universe. Cosmotheists take this as meaning the divine is tantamount to reality and consciousness, an inseparable part of an orderly, harmonious, and whole universal system.
In its broadest sense, the word Cosmotheism may be considered simply as being synonymous with ''[[pantheism]]'', although not all modern pantheists would accept Cosmotheism as a synonym for their own worldview due to the historical association of Cosmotheism with a political movement, [[white separatism]], which some within the pantheist community may find objectionable.
According to a Cosmotheist Web site dedicated to the late Dr.[[William Luther Pierce|William Pierce]]:
:"''Cosmotheism is a religion which positively asserts that there is an internal purpose in life and in cosmos, and there is an essential unity, or consciousness that binds all living beings and all of the inorganic cosmos, as one.''"
:"''What is our true human identity is we are the cosmos made self-aware and self-conscious by evolution. ''"
:"''Our true human purpose is to know and to complete ourselves as conscious individuals and also as a self-aware species and thereby to co-evolve with the cosmos towards total and universal awareness, and towards the ever higher perfection of consciousness and being.''"[http://www.cosmotheism.net/]
Some claim [[Albert Einstein]] was a Cosmotheist, [http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1982/JASA3-82Seeger.html], along with [[Carl Sagan]], [[Benedict Spinoza]] and other historical figures—although there is no quoted evidence of any of these three claiming to be "cosmotheist" as such, and all could also be said to be [[Pantheist]].
==Mordekhay Nesiyahu's Cosmotheism== In [[Israel]], Cosmotheism was described by [[Mordekhay Nesiyahu]], one of the foremost ideologists of the [[Israeli Labor Movement]] and a lecturer in its college Beit Berl in Israel.
In ''Cosmotheism — Israel, Zionism, Judaism and Humanity towards the 21st Century'', Nesiyahu proposed not to just assume the existence of God, being "prior to all that was created," but to consider God as only being a result of the development of the universe and the consciousness of all of humankind.
Divinity in this particular view is inherently a human invention.
The development of the divine (or what the believer would qualify as being "the revelation of the Divine") was, in Nesiyahu's opinion, both the condition for a more exalted human functioning and all that bears the fruit that comes out of it.
In Nesiyahu's universalist re-imagining of a secular divinity, the universal celebration of Cosmotheism is the basis for rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and is also a secular ethnically Jewish and a Zionist contribution to all of humankind.
==William L. Pierce's Cosmotheism==
===Origins=== In the United States, ''Cosmotheism'' sometimes refers to a religion adopted in [[1978]] by [[National Alliance]] founder and [[white separatist]] Dr. [[William Luther Pierce|William L. Pierce]]. Pierce affirms his cosmotheist belief in a speech that he once gave entitled "Our Cause":
:''"All we require is that you share with us a commitment to the simple, but great, truth which I have explained to you here, that you understand that you are a part of the whole, which is the creator, that you understand that your purpose, the purpose of mankind and the purpose of every other part of creation, is the creator's purpose, that this purpose is the never-ending ascent of the path of creation, the path of life symbolized by our life rune, that you understand that this path leads ever upward toward the creator's self-realization, and that the destiny of those who follow this path is godhood."''
His interpretation of cosmotheism ([http://baldur.libertyforum.net:8079/Our_Cause.txt]) was greatly influenced by several disparate factors: interpretations of [[George Bernard Shaw]]'s play ''[[Man and Superman]]''; strains of [[German Romanticism]]; [[Charles Darwin|Darwinian]] concepts of [[natural selection]] and of survival of the fittest, mixed with the related early [[20th century]] [[eugenics|eugenic]] ideals; and [[Ernst Haeckel]]'s version of [[monism]].
===Religion, society, and race===
The foundation of Pierce's Cosmotheism was essentially similar to classical monistic pantheism — he recognized no physical difference or separation between human and divine, between creator and created — but with a few differences. <!-- most notably his idea of the "degree of consciousness of the whole, within". --- This means nothing. How is that different to classical pantheism? Explanation is needed. -->
Pierce described his form of Cosmotheism as being based on "[t]he idea of an evolutionary universe ... with an evolution toward ever higher and higher states of self-consciousness," and his political ideas were centered on racial purity and [[eugenics]] as the means of advancing the [[white race]] first towards a superhuman state, and then towards godhood. In his view, the white race represented the pinnacle of human evolution thus far and therefore should be kept genetically separate from all other races in order to achieve its destined perfection in Godhood.
Pierce believed in a hierarchical society governed by what he saw as the essential principles of nature, including the survival of the fittest. In his social schema, the best-adapted genetic stock, which he believed to be the [[white race]], should remain separated from other races; and within an all-white society, the most fit individuals should lead the rest. He thought that extensive programs of "racial cleansing" and of [[eugenics]], both in Europe and in the U.S., would be necessary to achieve this socio-political program.
His [[National Alliance]] was to be the political vanguard and the spiritual priesthood of this program, which was designed ultimately to bring about a "White racial redemption". His Cosmotheist Community Church, which was to be the next step of this plan, was set up in the mid-1970s, alongside Pierce's other political projects — the National Alliance, National Vanguard Books, and the weekly broadcast ''American Dissident Voices'' — all from his mountain retreat headquarters in West Virginia.
===Critical assessments=== Pierce's views have been characterized as a version of early twentieth century racial anthropology, but driven by spiritual, as well as scientific, beliefs. This area of his belief was likely influenced by his early association with [[George Lincoln Rockwell]]'s [[American Nazi Party]]. Others have noted the German Romantic roots that Pierce's ideas shared with [[Nazism]] and have observed similarities between the two ideologies: Pierce's plan for white divinity was similar to [[Adolf Hitler]]'s vision for the ''[[Master race|Herrenvolk]]''; also, his attacks against Jews as "parasites" on white society, who would prevent the white race from reaching its destined godhood by replacing the white elite with their own kind, echoed previous Nazi descriptions of Jewish traits and character. [http://www.natvan.com/who-rules-america/wra.pdf]
Other criticisms have been harsher; for example, the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] has characterized Pierce's Cosmotheism as "an unsuccessful tax dodge". (Followers of Pierce's cosmotheism call many of these characterizations erroneous, some [[National Alliance]] members attributing them to "Marxist politically-correct slander and dogmatism.")

Anyone *can* edit the article, this is true. You, however, *may not* edit the article: your editing privileges have been revoked for a year. This revocation began on 7 May 2004 and is extended every time you try to edit; its current expiration date is 10 September 2005.
I hope that clears things up.

Wow, I did not know this kind of punishment was on at the Wikipedia: it sounds too strong to me (what harm does he do just trying to edit, if he cannot?).

I (obviously ?) do not want to mess up with any arbitration decission, but for me the RfAR page decision only says
"Paul Vogel's editing privileges on Wikipedia are revoked for a period of one year."
Which to me does not mean "renewed each time he tries to edit". However, IANAL and the exact meaning of the phrase in the context may differ from what I understand.
I also am not advocating pro-Vogel, just stating that in any judgement (afaik & ianal):
a) the punishment must be clearly stated b) in case it has several interpretations, the lighter one has to be applied c) forthcoming actions (after the trial) cannot modify the penalty
and what is being done to Vogel looks to me like breaking at least b) and c)... Not a special problem to me in this case: but an important issue for future arbitration committees.
