I remember Dr. Pierce stating in an ADV broadcast he had brought a lawsuit against the American government to prevent them from sending missiles to Israel, but the lawsuit was unsuccessful because he was unable to get a reputable lawyer to help him press the case.
I think I remember hearing this one. It might have been during the '73 war.
When discussing issues in print—and especially issues that deal specifically with metrics, a date, a time, a location, and people—it is imperative that the person writing the script—in this case, you, Mr. Ubele—write concisely, clearly, and with the average reader in mind. In college we called it, "writing to the lowest common denominator." This is even more imperative when communication is not bi-directional, but, rather, unidirectional. Failing to write concisely, clearly, and with the average reader in mind will dissuade the average reader from reading your post, essay, article, document, treatise, etcetera.
You plainly stated, "during the '73 war." Now, it is true that I know what you meant, since I was already into the earliest stages of adulthood in calendar year 1973. However, we have some National Alliance members who were not yet even born in calendar year 1973. Furthermore, we have National Alliance members, visitors, guests, and others who frequent and who write regularly on the White Biocentrism Site who perhaps do not have the faintest idea of what you mean when you state: "during the '73 war." Not everyone who uses the White Biocentrism Site is steeped in world history; factually, very few are.
So, as I previously mentioned, when one is composing prose—be it an Internet post, an article, an essay, a document, a treatise, etcetera—it is imperative that the writer and author—in this case, you, Mr. Ubele—take great pains while writing and composing to all-but-guarantee that the reader of your document, essay, post, article, etcetera knows as much detail about your composition as possible. Taking this strategic measure avoids what we in college were accustomed to calling, "lapsing into a trance due to reader hypnosis." And how does "reader hypnosis" occur? Reader hypnosis occurs when the reader(s) stumble over vague facts, meaningless numbers (i.e., your statement about, "during the '73 war," which to many is absolutely meaningless), incomplete statements, and rambling incoherence.
So, in an effort to avoid "reader hypnosis," my recommendation—and I believe it is a good one—is that instead of merely saying, "during the '73 war," which, to many non-historically-educated readers is meaningless, that you should have spent the time going into some moderate level of detail to explain this confusing and meaningless statement: "during the '73 war."
If I were the one who wrote your short post, instead of simply stating, "during the '73 war," I would have taken the time to explain to my readers what, exactly,
IS this thing called the "'73 war."
Here is how I would have avoided the causal problem of "reader hypnosis." Instead of saying, "it might have happened during the '73 war," I would have typed this short, concise explanation:
The Yom Kippur War, also known as the Ramadan War, the October War, the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, or the Fourth Arab–Israeli War, was an armed conflict fought from October 06, 1973 to October 25, 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria. The majority of combat between the two sides took place in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights—both of which had been occupied by Israel in 1967—with some fighting in African Egypt and northern Israel. Egypt's initial objective in the war was to seize a foothold on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal and subsequently leverage these gains to negotiate the return of the rest of the Israel-occupied Sanai Peninsula.
Typing those five lines of historical prose allows the reader to gain a bit of insight into the actual facts about what I call the "1973 Arab-Israeli War." It is then incumbent upon the reader, should he/she have the desire, interest, and inclination, to do more research into the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. You have removed doubt and confusion from the mind of the reader, and, in all but the rarest cases, the reader will respect the writer and author for providing ample detail to explain the purpose for writing his/her post, essay, article, treatise, document, etcetera.
