The political creed of Zionism has big ears and a long trunk and I think it’s time that was pointed out. It also stampedes through our lives at every level and that needs to be said, too.

It has created a pincer-movement on the human mind by hijacking staggering amounts of political, corporate, banking and media power on one side and by using the fear of being called ‘anti-Semitic’ if you dare to state the bloody obvious.

They have been able to do this by equating in public perception that Zionism = Jewish people. It does not. Zionism is a political creed introduced by the House of Rothschild to advance the goals of the Illuminati families that are largely controlled by the Rothschilds.

When people think of Zionism they think of Jewish people. When they think of Israel they think of Jewish people. That’s understandable given the propaganda, but it is seriously misleading and those instant connections need to be broken if we are going to understand what’s going on here.

Zionism means Rothschild just as Israel means Rothschild. When we see the extraordinary number of Zionists in key positions around the world we are looking not at ‘manipulating Jews’, but manipulating Zionists representing the interests and demands of the Rothschilds.

Significant numbers of Jewish people are not Zionists and oppose that appalling creed while many Zionists are not Jewish. These include the Christian Zionists and Obama’s vice-president, Joe Biden, who told Israeli television ‘I’m a Zionist’. Here’s the clip if you can stand it … If, as Biden rightly says, you don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, how can it be a racial rather than a political movement? It can’t. It’s just made to appear like that to manipulate public perception because opposing Zionism then becomes opposing Jewish people as a whole and the ‘you’re a racist’ card can be played over and over.

Far from protecting and advancing the interests of the mass of Jewish people it has often been devastating for them and caused millions to be labelled unfairly by the actions of the Zionist elite. On the Jews Against Zionism website one feature highlights how Rothschild Zionism targeted Jews who had lived for generations in Palestine side-by-side with Arabs in peace and harmony:

‘The religious Jews who by virtue of their faith, clearly contradicted Zionist nationalism, and who had lived peacefully with their Arab neighbors for generations, became unwillingly identified with the Zionist cause and their struggle with the Arabs.

They requested the United Nations that Jerusalem be designated as a defacto international city. They appealed to the diplomatic corps assigned to Jerusalem — but to no avail. They were hence confronted with the choice of either becoming a part of the Zionist State, which diametrically opposed the interests of Jews as a religion, or abandoning the land of which their forefathers were the first Jewish settlers.

Let’s get this straight. Zionism doesn’t give a damn about Jewish people. To the Rothschilds and their Zionist gofers and thugs the Jewish people as a whole are merely cattle to be used and abused as necessary – just like the rest of the human population.

The networks of the House of Rothschild were behind Hitler and the rise of the Nazi Party in the Rothschild heartland of Germany where they had changed their name from Bauer in 18th century Frankfurt and launched the dynasty that was to control global finance.

After the war the Rothschilds used public sympathy for Jewish people targeted by the Nazis to press for a homeland in Palestine. This was the alleged reason for the founding of Zionism, but that is only part of it.

As I show in my books, the campaign to impose a Rothschild fiefdom in Palestine goes back at least to the earlier part of the 19th century and probably long before. It was given a massive boost with the Balfour Declaration in 1917 when the British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour declared in a letter his government’s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

This letter was sent by Balfour, an inner-circle member of an elite secret society called the Round Table, to Baron (Walter) Rothschild who funded the Round Table.

Today, Rothschild Illuminati fronts like the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Royal Institute of International Affairs, and others, still answer to the Round Table which string-pulls and coordinates from the shadows. This is why Zionists in government are invariably connected with these Rothschild-controlled organisations.

The Rothschilds funded the early settlers from Europe to relocate in post-war Palestine and they also funded and armed the terrorist groups, like Irgun, which bombed and terrorised Israel into existence in 1948, a campaign which forced 800,000 Palestinians to leave the land of their birth.

Israel is simply the State of Rothschild and how appropriate that they paid for the construction of the Israeli parliament building, the Knesset, and the Israel Supreme Court. The name Rothschild means Red-shield and it originates with the red shield ‘Star of David’ symbol (not a Jewish symbol before the Rothschilds) which they displayed on their house in Frankfurt …

The very flag of Israel tells you who owns it. There are many reasons why the Rothschilds and their allies wanted to hijack Palestine and one was to keep the Middle East in a state of disruption and turmoil from which a global war can eventually be triggered to usher in the New World Order of world government dictatorship.

The creation of Israel is a means not an end and the Rothschilds will be quite happy to leave the Jewish population to their fate if it suits them. After all, they’ve done it before.

The world’s second biggest Zionist population is in the United States and given that both America and Israel are controlled by the Rothschild networks it is not hard to fathom why that slither of land in the Middle East receives around a third of all US overseas aid.

An average $3 billion a year is handed to the State of Rothschild as a result of decisions made by American administrations that are always, ‘Republican’ or ‘Democrat’, controlled by the Rothschilds. One hand of the network hands over the cash to another.

This explains why the United States never talks about the arsenal of nuclear weapons stockpiled by one of the world’s most trigger-happy states. Israel refuses to discuss them and the American policy, recently reconfirmed by Obama, is never to ask or bring up the subject.

The last two US administrations are testament to the extent of Zionist (Rothschild) control of America and thus its foreign policy, not least with regard to Iraq, the former land of Sumer and Babylon, which according to some just happens to be part of the ‘Greater Israel’ that the Zionists seek to secure.

The ‘Bush’ government was the glove-puppet of the so-called neo-cons, or neoconservatives, whose only political philosophy in truth was the interests of Zionism. At the heart of the Rothschild-controlled neocon cabal were Richard Perle (Zionist), Paul Wolfowitz (Zionist), Dov Zakheim (Zionist), Douglas Feith (Zionist), John Bolton (Zionist), Lewis Libby (Zionist), the list goes on and on. These were the people who orchestrated the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq on behalf of the Rothschilds.

Economic policy was dictated through the years of Reagan-Bush, Father Bush, Clinton and most of Boy Bush by Alan Greenspan (Zionist), chairman of the privately-owned US ‘central bank’, the Federal Reserve. Privately owned, that is, by the Rothschilds through a network of front people and organisations.

Greenspan introduced the policies of deregulation that culminated, as designed, in the free-for-all frenzy of greed by banks and financial markets in general that led to the crash in the last weeks of the Bush presidency. Greenspan resigned from the Fed before the consequences of his long-term game-plan exploded in lost homes, jobs and savings. He was replaced by Bernard Bernanke (Zionist).

Greenspan was enthusiastically supported in his deregulation through successive administrations by Treasury Secretaries in the Clinton years, Robert E. Rubin (Zionist) and Larry Summers (Zionist), and also by the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most powerful in the Fed cabal, Timothy Geithner (Zionist).

When Mr. Fake Change won the presidency amid the gathering financial crisis, caused by all of the above, and others, he appointed Geithner as his Treasury Secretary and Summers as head of the White House Economic Council. Both are protégés of Robert Rubin who resigned from Citigroup earlier this year for his role in ‘advising’ it to the brink of collapse.

Obama’s Budget Director is Peter Orszag (Zionist) who headed the company that advised the Icelandic Central Bank in the prelude to the crash of Iceland’s financial system. This has led to Iceland being fast-tracked into the Rothschild-created European Union to ’save’ its economy. Orszag also advised the Russian Treasury when state-owned assets and resources were handed to Zionist oligarchs, including Roman Abramovich who is famous in the UK as the owner of Chelsea Football Club.

Add to all this the fact that the World Bank is headed by Robert Zoellick (Zionist), who replaced Paul Wolfowitz (Zionist), and that the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, is run by Dominique Strauss-Kahn (Zionist).

Anyone still doubt that the Rothschild network controls global finance and therefore the lives and choices of virtually every man, woman and child on the planet?

The Rothschilds are at the heart of the Obama White House in the form of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (Zionist) and Chief White House Advisor David Axelrod (Zionist). Emanuel has served in the Israeli army and his father was an operative with the Rothschild terrorist group, Irgun, as it bombed Israel into being. This included the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 that killed 91 people.

Rahm Emanuel also worked closely Robert E. Rubin (Zionist) during the Clinton years to impose NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was designed from the start to be a stepping-stone to a North American, and eventually an American Union, along the lines of the EU. The Zionist world is very small indeed.

David Axelrod ran Obama’s election campaigns and now oversees his every word slavishly read from his teleprompter screens. There is little that Obama says that his Zionist handlers don’t tell him or give him to say.

They have also ensured that US policy for Iran and the Persian Gulf is headed by Dennis Ross (Zionist) who has served Israeli interests in successive American administrations. There will not be a cigarette paper behind the scenes between him and that trio of tyranny, Netanyahu, Lieberman, Barak, the prime minister, foreign minister and defence minister of Israel. Rothschild stooges, in other words.

Zionist Mandelson works for the pyramid

The most influential figure by far in the current British government is Peter Mandelson (Zionist) who continues to amass more titles and powers from the beleaguered Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Mandelson is an insider operative for the Rothschilds and has frequently accepted hospitality from his close friend and associate, Nathaniel Rothschild. This week Mandelson called for the UK to join the (Rothschild) single European currency.

Meanwhile, the hapless and hopeless Gordon Brown did as he was told and appointed Ivan Lewis (Zionist) to be minister of state with responsibility for, wait for it … British policy on the Middle East. Lewis, vice-chair of the Labour Friends of Israel, was an outspoken supporter of Israel’s slaughter of the innocent in Gaza this year. Lewis said of his new job:

‘My responsibility for the Middle East peace process is particularly poignant. I have never hidden my pride at being Jewish or my support for the State of Israel.’

What chance do the Palestinians have of fairness and justice? None.

In France, as I mentioned last week, President Sarkozy (Zionist) is a long-time asset of Mossad, the Rothschild enforcement agency masquerading as the intelligence agency of Israel. Mossad has been implicated in terror attacks and other horrors all over the world because it represents the Rothschild global agenda and not the people of Israel.

Look also at the Zionist (Rothschild) control of the entertainment and media industry in the form of people like Fox News President Peter Chernin (Zionist); Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Zionist); Walt Disney CEO Robert Igor (Zionist); Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (Zionist); Warner Brothers Chairman Barry Meyer (Zionist); CBS CEO Leslie Moonves (Zionist); MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Zionist); and NBC/Universal Studios CEO Jeff Zucker (Zionist).

The Rothschilds control America

The Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein (Zionist) wrote an article proclaiming that Americans who don’t think Jews (Zionists) control Hollywood are just plain ‘dumb’. Stein went on:

‘The Jews are so dominant. I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. But lo and behold, even one of that six, AMC President Charles Collier, turned out to be a Jew! … As a proud Jew, I want America to know of our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood.’

And not only Hollywood. Shahar Ilan, a daily features editor with the leading Israeli newspaper, Ha’aretz, wrote: ‘The Jews do control the American media. This is very clear, and claiming otherwise is an insult to common knowledge’. Zionists have truly massive influence over the news media with the likes of Rupert Murdoch (Zionist) with his vast television and newspaper empire, and the Sulzberger family (Zionists) who own the New York Times. The list is enormous across television, radio, newspapers and the Internet.

When you look at the number of Zionists in key positions of power and control in politics, banking, corporations, news media, Hollywood and so on, it is sobering to think that Jewish people are just 1.7% of the American population and many of those won’t be Zionists.

What if the same situation happened with Arab people or Chinese, Irish or even black Americans? There would be an outcry and questions asked about how one group can have so much influence over the lives of a whole nation, indeed many nations. And I stress again that, in the end, this control system leads to the Rothschilds and the spider they represent at the centre of the web.

The Rothschilds established B’nai B’rith in 1843 to prevent exposure of the global Zionist networks. The ‘ BB’ is an offshoot of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and operates worldwide to brand as ‘anti-Semitic’ anyone who exposes the Rothschild operation.

In 1913, B’nai B’rith launched an organisation specifically to target and defame researchers, in fact anyone, who questions, criticises or exposes Israel and the ever-gathering Zionist influence across the world. With typical irony they called it the Anti-Defamation League, better known as the ADL, and claimed it was there to protect Jewish people. As Plato said: ‘This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector’.

The ADL is, in fact, a sub-agency of the Israeli (Rothschild) centre for covert operations, the Mossad, which, according to a former agent, has the motto: ‘By way of deception, thou shalt do war’. If that isn’t the motto, it should be. The ADL is behind the introduction of ‘hate laws’ which are aimed at silencing dissent against Zionism or Israel. The Jewish academic, Noam Chomsky, said this of the ADL in his book, Necessary Illusions:

‘The ADL has virtually abandoned its earlier role as a civil rights organization, becoming “one of the main pillars” of Israeli propaganda in the U.S., as the Israeli press casually describes it, engaged in surveillance, blacklisting, compilation of FBI-style files circulated to adherents for the purpose of defamation, angry public responses to criticism of Israeli actions, and so on.

These efforts, buttressed by insinuations of anti-Semitism or direct accusations, are intended to deflect or undermine opposition to Israeli policies, including Israel’s refusal, with U.S. support, to move towards a general political settlement.’

The American rabbi, Michael Lerner, agrees:

‘The ADL lost most of it credibility in my eyes as a civil rights organization when it began to identify criticisms of Israel with anti-Semitism, still more when it failed to defend me when I was receiving threats to my life from right-wing Jewish groups because of my critique of Israeli policy toward Palestinians (it said that these were not threats that came from my being Jewish, so therefore they were not within their area of concern).’

Firstly, the ADL has never been a civil rights organisation. Its very purpose has been to take them away. Secondly, it is not there to defend anyone, Jewish or otherwise. It’s there to represent the sadistic interests of the House of Rothschild and the wider Illuminati.

It is so important that people are aware of this background to Zionism because at the moment it is basically speeding along unchallenged through lack of awareness and fear of being dubbed ‘racist’.

Well, I couldn’t care less what people say about me with regard to this or anything else. I want to uncover the truth, not win a popularity contest.

Please, let’s circulate this information as effectively as we can and bring it from the shadows to public attention. We must refuse to be intimidated into silence over this.

Martin Luther King said: ‘… we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.’

It is time to stand up, in every sense.

The Anti-Defamation League is not backing down from its outrageous claim that millions of Americans are conspiring against Obama! ADL’s recent report, Rage in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies, claims millions of anti-Obama Americans, consumed with “toxic rage,” will say almost anything necessary to bring the President down.

But spokeswoman Myrna Shinbaum says the backlash against ADL is simply a misunderstanding: “The comments are coming from people who have not read the reportThey’re reacting to the media spin and not its substance.” (Jewish Telegraph Agency, ” “http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/news/jt/national_news/conservatives
_rap_adl_report_on_anti-government_anger/15941? Conservatives Rap ADL Report on Anti-Government Anger, Dec. 1)

What “media” is misrepresenting ADL? It’s certainly not the mainstream liberal media that usually works in lockstep to give ADL initiatives maximum publicity. With only a handful of exceptions, the media has said nothing, pro or con, about Rage in America. Why? Big media is embarrassed by ADL. If its claim that millions of Americans are conspirators were not so sinister, it would be laughable.

The “media” to which Shinbaum refers is a string of recent articles: Jonathan Tobin in Commentary, Joseph Farah in World Net Daily, Rev. Ted Pike at www.truthtellers.org, Joel Sprayregen in American Thinker, and Rabbi Nachum Shifren in News with Views. These commentaries-now viral online-have probably embarrassed ADL more than anything since the 1988 Spotlight expose of ADL’s illegal surveillance of over 10,000 unsuspecting Americans. (See my video, “http://truthtellers.org/alerts/hatelawsvideopage.htm” Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians at www.truthtellers.org for complete documentation.)

But ADL is unrepentant. It has an agenda and schedule to keep-persecuting Christians and conservatives under its hate crime laws worldwide.

In a recent fund-raising appeal, ADL national director Abe Foxman complained of a worldwide “explosion of anti-Semitism that is shocking in its intensity and unprecedented in its reach into the mainstream.” ADL wants to bull its way forward, persuading all nations of the world to criminalize any criticism of matters Jewish. The cleverest legal means is their brainchild: hate crimes laws.

To eventually imprison enormous numbers of those who oppose ADL’s new world order, ADL must prepare the public to view Christian conservatives as anti-Semitic and violence-prone. This has begun with ADL’s Office of Global Anti-Semitism in the US State Department. In its latest report to Congress, the Office says “classic anti-Semites” include at least 100 million Christians who affirm the New Testament account that the Jews masterminded the crucifixion of Christ. (See “http://truthtellers.org/alerts/newtestamentantisemitic.html” U.S. State Department Says New Testament is ‘Anti-Semitic’?) This is an extremely threatening charge by the U.S. government against Bible-believing Americans and Christians everywhere. In Canada, it is a hate crime to publicly state that the Jews were responsible for Christ’s death. It is punishable by a minimum fine of $5,000 and prison if the offense is repeated.

For the past five years, ADL has united 56 nations of Europe into an “anti-hate” confederation (the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE) dedicated to ending “homophobia,” xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and ultimately free speech online. Yet in a recent report, ADL laments that its European hate law agenda is not progressing as rapidly as planned. At last month’s OSCE conference in Warsaw, ADL berated member states for failing to vigorously enact and enforce more hate laws. It also criticized them for neglecting to gather statistics ADL can dramatize as proving that an “epidemic of hate” exists in Europe, necessitating even more hate laws. ADL calls this year’s OSCE report a “revealing portrait of the failure of too many governments to recognize the unique problem of hate crime.” “The League’s analysis of the data found that a total of 23 governments failed to gather hate crime data or make it publicly available. ADL also highlighted nine countries that reported fewer than 10-and in some cases zero-hate crimes. Only eight of the 56 governments submitted informationon incidents of anti-Semitism.” (See “http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/gestapobeingcreated.html” Global Hate Crimes Gestapo Being Created)

It may well be that some political leaders in recalcitrant countries not under the strictest ADL control are gradually awakening to the dangers of hate laws through hearing the horror stories of hate law persecution in other nations. They also may be receiving a comprehensive education on the twisted reasoning, abuses, and ultimate conspiracy of ADL hate laws from the premier international site opposing hate laws, www.truthtellers.org.

ADL’s participation in every aspect of a hate crimes bureaucracy is vital to creating ADL’s ideal: a totally repressive gestapo, mercilessly indicting dissident speech in a manner that is fiercely punitive. This is what ADL’s northern branches, B’nai B’rith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress, have brought to Canada since 1971, when ADL’s hate law was passed — after a decade of ADL lobbying. Running Canada’s hate bureaucracy has been entirely their project — one which they direct at every stage and of which they are immensely and very publicly proud.

How to Kill America’s Hate Law

What is the most effective way to keep America’s new ADL hate law from being enforced? It’s simple. The more credibility ADL loses-as happened in the last two weeks-the harder it will be for the League to persuade the government to pursue hate crime indictments. If ADL’s credibility is destroyed, hate laws will become unenforceable. In America, virtually no one but ADL cares about sending Christians and conservatives to prison as “anti-Semites” and “homophobic” hate criminals. Without ADL management of hate crime bureaucracies and orchestration of prosecution, even the militant homosexual lobby will have to be content to coexist with the Christian community rather than prosecute it. (Despite ADL propaganda, the heterosexual majority has not tended toward hateful violence against homosexuals.)

The most practical, attainable way to pull the teeth of the new federal hate law is not through legal action, supplicating liberal judges to declare it unconstitutional. They may actually be delighted to receive such appeals and use them to uphold the Constitutionality of the hate law and even broaden it to cover verbal violence against sodomites.

The most direct way to neutralize the hate bill is to destroy, by every truthful means, the reputation of the Anti-Defamation League. Tens of thousands of patriots should tell as many as possible about ADL’s 96-year record of subverting America’s values and freedoms.

An excellent way to start is for groups, especially churches, college clubs and political organizations, to view my 82-minute video Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians at “http://www.truthtellers.org” www.truthtellers.org. This fast-moving, easily understood documentary presents the history of ADL, particularly how it took away free speech in Canada. It also reveals how, through influencing US legislative bodies as well as policies of the US justice system, it intends to end freedom in America.

Despite its staggering international power and immediate threat to very high profile potential critics, such as Glenn Beck, Joseph Farah, Michael Savage, etc., never in ADL’s history has the average citizen been more secure from ADL’s smear, “Anti-Semite!” This is a unique time because ADL faces a myriad of what it considers anti-Semitic attacks, especially on the internet and in the United Nations. It simply cannot diversify to individually assault thousands of grassroots Americans, who can speak out.

Do you still think you can’t make a difference in dismantling ADL’s power? Consider this anecdote from nature. Once in our garden, I heard a tremendous commotion of scornful cries from little birds. A hawk had just pounced on one of them. Instantly, chickadees, wrens, robins and jays mobbed him, mercilessly berating the raptor at close range. The hawk panicked and flew away, leaving his victim unharmed. Each bird alone was a potential meal. Yet acting together, overwhelming the hawk with protest, the small birds prevailed.

Do you have the courage of a chickadee?

Thousands of Americans, grieved by the specter of a national hate crimes bureaucracy being set up in America, can unite to tarnish ADL. Then, what may be happening in many OSCE countries will happen in America. Without a credible ADL goading the Attorney General, FBI and police against Christian “hate criminals,” the federal hate law will become a despised relic of legislative history-rusting and decrepit like monuments of the former Soviet Union.

The people will never allow it to be used against them.

Joel Sprayregen is a former ACLU staff attorney and National Vice-Chair of the Anti-Defamation League. He was appalled at ADL’s recent 27-page online attack on the Christian/conservative right, “Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies.”

Writing in American Thinker Online, November 29, he says, “You can…understand the consternation, and not just mine, which greeted the ADL’s hyped “Report” declaring that ‘rage’ expressed against President Obama is un-American.” He says, “ADL’s perfervidly purple prose belies an abysmal ignorance of American political traditions.” Sprayregen documents this tradition on the authority of Jefferson, Holmes, etc., who not only tolerated but actually encouraged fervent, even heated dissent.

“ADL’s naked partisanship,” he says, is revealed by the fact that “In the time of anti-Bush rage, the ADL held its tongue.” But, he says, “You can’t fool all the people all the time…The failure of mainline media to scrutinize Obama and his mentors – which truly is unprecedented…incentivizes many who love this country to sound off…The ADL could not have chosen a more infelicitous moment to try to shield Obama from anger generated by his policies.”

Sprayregen says he was National Vice-Chair of “the then-respected Anti-Defamation League.” But in past years “…ADL stumbled so egregiously. As observed by many, including myself, who have left the organization, the ADL has declined into an autocracy where no opinion counts other than that of its long-time National Director, Abraham Foxman, whom the New York Times described as “a one-man Sanhedrin for life.” When Foxman hatches a crackpot idea like the “Rage Report,” no one can restrain him.”

He says, “Foxman is driven to justify his half-million-dollar-plus salary (matched in virtually no other Jewish organization)… To generate publicity for himself, he launches (and then summarily drops) foolish initiatives, such as his attack on Christian Evangelicals, Israel’s most consistent supporters… I found only one press column praising the ADL statement: that of Los Angeles Times writer Timothy Rutten… When I googled Rutten, I found that last year, he received an ADL First Amendment award.”

Sprayregen’s article adds to rapidly mounting testimony by yet another Jew (and ADL insider) informing the world that ADL is a loose cannon on the deck of liberalism. It could threaten Zionist interests also because ADL is the PR bulldog of Israel to the world. Jewish liberals view it, as Jewish Week confirmed last week, as “an active part of… the right-of-center pro-Israel establishment.” Yet Foxman, Sprayregen contends, counterproductively attacks the century-long arch supporters of Israel: evangelical Christians. This includes WorldNetDaily owner Joseph Farah who, not unlike ADL, provides a pipeline for Israeli policy directives to millions of evangelicals.

Where Is ADL Taking Us?

What does Sprayregen’s exposure of Foxman’s instability and persecutive inclinations mean to Christians/conservatives — indeed to all Americans?

It means many things because ADL has so profoundly altered American social attitudes, especially in regard to tolerance of homosexuality and support of pro-homosexual legislative initiatives. These, whether on the local, federal, or international level, will unfailingly be found to have been generated primarily by ADL and its parent organization, B’nai B’rith International.

ADL hate crimes laws have taken free speech from the citizens of Canada, England, Australia, etc.; and now America is shackled with a national hate law fully capable of doing the same. Recently signed by Pres. Obama, it was very largely conceived and brought into existence by the same Abe Foxman who wrote the recent “Rage Report” which portrays millions of Americans as “conspirators.”

Since 1984, with publication of my book Israel: Our Duty, Our Dilemma, I have been sounding the alarm against the ADL — warning of ADL’s anti-Christian, anti-freedom malevolence — just as Sprayregen and other Jewish ADL critics are now alleging. Yet virtual silence of any criticism of ADL has prevailed among frightened Christian and Jewish leaders until now. At last, Joseph Farah, Orthodox rabbi Nachum Shifren, Commentary magazine editor Jonathan Tobin, and Joel Sprayregen are finally breaking the national silence in terse and even biting rebuke. This is a historic moment. Never since its founding in 1913 have one evangelical and three Jewish leaders stood up in public criticism of ADL. Let’s make sure that ADL’s irresponsibility in issuing its “Rage Report” will result in a new era of responsibility for vigilance, scrutiny and criticism of ADL by all in positions of religious and political authority.

Danger from ADL Will Continue

What will happen to ADL if criticism and controversy over the “Rage Report” continues? Foxman could resign. ADL, under new leadership, could ostensibly learn some of the “tolerance” it has presumed to teach others for most of the past century.

Yet, ADL will remain an enormous threat to freedom. The statement by California Senator Jack Tenney in the 1971Congressional Record remains apropos: “The CIA and FBI are tinker toys compared to the ADL.”

ADL remains frighteningly powerful, eliciting recent effusive praise from guest speakers at ADL functions: Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security; Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations; and Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General. In fact, legislative events of the past year have demonstrated beyond doubt that, at least concerning passage of ADL’s hate crimes laws, most Democrats in Congress as well as Attorney General Holder are securely in the palm of ADL’s hand.

ADL will continue to surveil Christian/conservative Americans along with fringe groups, providing under-the-table intelligence to the U.S. government unavailable through lawful means. Sometimes it will get caught, as Sprayregen says, “for illegally gathering evidence against unsuspecting Americans…stored in its massive files (twice in recent years the ADL has paid damages for illegal surveillance).” (For a complete education on ADL’s massive spy operation on 10,000 Americans, watch my gripping 82-minute video at www.truthtellers.org “Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians.”)

Evil tends to be immoderate. This time ADL has gone too far. In 2005, ADL’s National Executive Board member Philadelphia district attorney Lynne Abraham also went too far. Erupting in rage two days after Christian conservatives defeated ADL’s hate bill in Congress, she took revenge on the religious right by arresting 11 Christians. She charged them with seven crimes, threatening 47 years in prison and $90,000 in fines each. Included was the “hate crime” of witnessing to homosexuals at a gay pride rally. But ADL paid a big price then, as I hope they will pay in the days and weeks ahead. As a result of Abraham’s rash persecution, ADL provided a red hot issue which propelled me onto national talk radio. Since then, thanks to ADL, I have given roughly 700 interviews, with 125 hosts, almost entirely in warning against ADL and its hate laws.

Once, in an interview by author and radio talk show host Michael Collins Piper, he related how on a street corner in Washington, D.C. he saw someone who looked very familiar. Yes, it was Abe Foxman. Piper, who has exhaustively researched and written about ADL, started walking toward him, saying, “Hey, I know you — you’re Abe Foxman!” Foxman, doubtless recognizing Piper, turned and started walking briskly away and then fled.

This is the man who brings Christians/conservatives to silence and submission by threatening to label them anti-Semitic. He did this to Dr. Richard Land, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, several weeks ago. Land had transgressed ADL’s ban on using any Nazi terminology to describe the pro-abortion provisions of the healthcare reform bill. Confronted by Foxman, Land was utterly intimidated, vowing, according to ADL, that from then on ADL can always count him “on board” their “tolerance” social agenda. Dr. Land should know this includes promotion of homosexuality, abortion, pornography, and hate laws. (See ADL Welcomes Christian Leader’s Apology For Insensitive Remarks On Healthcare Debate)

Yet, as Piper’s encounter reveals, Foxman showed himself a coward, one who can’t face an eminent critic on the street corner or, as Sprayregen alleges, even criticism from his own staff. That is part of the reason he and ADL tirelessly promote hate laws which ban criticism of homosexuals, Muslims, and Jews. Above everything else, ADL abhors criticism of itself.

Foxman and the ADL need to be identified, exposed, and shamed in order to deflate their persona from the gargantuan proportions and reputation they have falsely attained over the past century. Foxman is like a phobia: If you run from it, it only attains credibility, becoming a giant in hot pursuit. But if you relax, turn around and mockingly defy it, it will dissipate. In the same way Foxman, the terror of the religious right, will shrink to nothing more than a mouse squeaking in the corner.

by Rev. Ted Pike

Two weeks ago the Anti-Defamation League released a 27-page report “Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies” in which it alleges that there exist a host of conspiracies against President Obama within various levels of the religious/conservative right.

A week ago I posted my article “ADL Blasts ‘Paranoid’ Right.” It went viral, stimulating postings or comments on dozens of websites and has dominated search engines all week. I was correct in predicting that most Christian/conservative “watchdog” groups, fearing ADL’s legendary powers of recrimination, would say nothing against this attack on them and their constituents. One outstanding exception: Although I did not know it at the time, Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily and criticized in ADL’s report, had, two days earlier, hit back at ADL in his own article. (See, The ADL targets WND) Farah says, “…the ADL is after me and my news organization.” Farah defiantly informs ADL that they are not going to succeed in making an anti-Semite out of him and millons of other Americans – just for protesting Obama. Way to go, Joe!

A number of the largest Jewish-owned internet media were also roused to voice opinion about ADL’s report. Here is an overview of what the Jewish press is saying.

Commentary Magazine , founded in 1945, is a Jewish-owned, respected bastion of neoconservatism from a largely Jewish perspective. Executive editor Jonathan Tobin agrees that ADL is way out of line in portraying anti-Obama protesters as involved in a conspiracy to take down Obama any way they can. (See, ADL Crosses the Line with Report Bashing Obama Critics)

But if the Anti-Defamation League has its way, the election of Barack Obama will herald a changing of the rules. Opponents of this president are apparently going to have to tread a lot more lightly or face all the opprobrium that this group can muster…

…“ Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies ”…claims that those who are disgruntled with the president have unleashed a “toxic atmosphere of rage in America” since Obama’s election…

But “Rage Grows in America” isn’t content with smoking out the nuts. Its goal is to link them to the broad spectrum of activists, writers, and thinkers who are less than enthralled with the age of Obama…

In one tidy package, the ADL links not only “mainstream” critics but also radio and television talkers like Glenn Beck and peaceful “tea party” protests against higher taxes with those who talk of armed resistance to the government and even those responsible for the 1994 Oklahoma City bombing. Seen in this light, those who merely cry that they “want their country back” from the Democrats while standing outside a town-hall meeting become the thin edge of the wedge of a new threat to democracy and, by extension, a threat to the Jews…

…what the ADL seems to forget is that the right of the people to feel “anger and resentment” against the government of the day — be it Republican or Democratic — is what we call democracy in this country… But by choosing to frame its report denouncing this brand of extremism in such a way as to associate all those who have opposed Obama’s policies in one way or another with the far Right, the ADL has stepped over a line that a nonpartisan group should never cross.

The Jewish Week’s article, “ADL report on ‘toxic atmosphere of rage’ ignites…well, rage,” by James Besser, says:

“Predictably, the right has gone ballistic over last week’s ADL report describing a “toxic atmosphere of rage in America” and tying that to the “birther” and “tea party” movements, this summer’s health reform town meeting disruptions and some conservative talk show hosts.

I googled “ADL” and “tea parties” and “rage” and came up with dozens of hits, many of them from renowned conspiracy theorists who see in the report proof that the ADL is interested only in stifling dissent, undermining Christianity and promoting a radical left agenda.

I found this comment – “The ADL is allegorically pinning a yellow star on ‘conspiracy theorists,’ Oath Keepers, Tea Party protesters, and anyone else who dares express dissent in response to the financial looting of the country or Barack Obama’s big government agenda” – repeated on at least 52 Web sites and blogs…”

Yet Besser disagrees with Commentary’s claim that ADL is singling out the right for suspicion. He claims ADL is “an equal opportunity nag,” which has also criticized liberals and is entitled to take on conservatives this time around.

He also says, “This week’s anti-ADL outbursts were amplified by Christian groups that insist hate crimes laws – which ADL has long and successfully advocated – are the leading edge of a conspiracy to foist homosexuality on the nation, undermine marriage and limit the free speech and religious rights of Christians.”

The Jewish-owned Los Angeles Times, featuring an opinion by Tim Rutten, not only agrees with the Jewish Week but says the ADL is right on target: Scrutiny and warning against the danger of the anti-Obama right – particularly talk show host Glenn Beck – should be heightened. In his opinion piece “Who’s Watching Glenn Beck?” he says:

“As a Jewish organization, the ADL’s first preoccupation naturally is anti-Semitism, but in the last few decades it has extended its scrutiny to the whole range of bigoted malevolence…For the first time in living memory, the ADL is sounding the alarm about a mainstream media personality: Fox News’ Glenn Beck, who also hosts a popular radio show.”

Rutten says, Beck “intends to use his TV and radio shows to promote a mass movement that will involve voter registration drives, training in community organizing and a series of regional conventions that will produce a “100-year plan” for America to be read from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to a mass rally Aug. 28.”

Rutten soon goes in for the kill, saying, “Beck is an offensively dangerous demagogue,” who reminds him of “anti-Semitic” Father Charles Coughlin in the 1930’s. He says Beck should be “unplugged” at FOX News now, before his “extremist political campaign” does real damage.

The Jerusalem Post earlier lent credibility to ADL’s report, saying, “The sections of the report that draw our concern…spotlight the activities of a minority on the Right who have crossed the line between criticism of President Barack Obama’s policies to denying the legitimacy of America’s political system itself.”

Who are these transgressors? The Post says, “…it is destabilizing conspiratorialists who trouble us. They say Obama is a closet Muslim, or assert that his Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery so he is constitutionally ineligible to be president.” This is a description of Joseph Farah, whom ADL identifies as chief promoter of the “birther” conspiracy theory. The Post concludes: “We worry, however that Foxman’s claim of ‘a toxic atmosphere of rage’ in America is not hyperbole, but a true assessment of the political system’s condition.”

ADL: Educator of U.S. Police about Hate Crimes

Is this debate merely about ADL’s opinion versus the conservative right’s? No. Under ADL’s Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990, ADL appointed itself the federally approved teacher of everything having to do with “tolerance,” “prejudice,” and hate crimes education and enforcement to all federal and local law police agencies in America. ADL boasts of its total involvement with hate crimes mentoring of police and that it has the loyalty of more than 150 police chiefs who testify concerning the acute need of ADL’s federal hate crimes law. Every time ADL issues a warning on the level of magnitude of its recent report, it is sent to law enforcement ranging from the US Justice Department and FBI to every local precinct in America. This spring, Missouri State Police finally realized they were being manipulated into issuing a similar ADL/SPLC directive profiling possible Christian/conservatives as potential terrorist threats. They quickly and responsibly rejected such input.

The same must take place now. ADL’s latest declaration that the anti-Obama, conservative right is paranoid and conspiratorial has undoubtedly further prejudiced thousands of members of law enforcement against millions of well-meaning Americans. ADL should undo such damage. It should tell law enforcement to disregard its stereotyping, as conspirators, of many tea parties, town hall, and anti-Obama protesters.

This summer and fall, hundreds of thousands of concerned Americans, perhaps for the first time in their lives, took action, feeling pride as patriots during tea party and healthcare protests. Yet ADL says even though much behavior at townhall meetings was “ugly,” similar behavior at the massive Washington, DC rally in September was “uglier.”

ADL should do more than remove “Rage in America” from its website. ADL has offended the American people and the American way.

It should apologize to the nation.

The Anti-Defamation League has published a fresh report directly targeting Alex Jones as an “extremist” and “The King of conspiracy”, lumping in the information contained on this website with the actions of racists and white supremacists.

There is, as usual, one major problem with the ADL’s report – it is devoid of any empirical fact and based entirely on the group’s desire to create the impression that huge swathes of politically disgruntled Americans are violent conspiratorial-minded bigots that they must expose and counter.

“With conspiracy talk-show host Alex Jones leading the way, one of the most disturbing trends in 2009 has been the resurrection and proliferation of some of the same anti-government conspiracy theories that so riled up domestic extremists in the 1990s.” the ADL writes.

The organisation defines three major issues as “conspiracy theories” that exist only in the mind of paranoid delusional extremists. They are:

• Imposition of Martial Law. The federal government is plotting to declare martial law in the near future as a way to strip Americans of their freedoms and institute the New World Order. The government may utilize or even manufacture a crisis, such as the swine flu epidemic, in order to have an excuse for imposing martial law.
• Gun Confiscation. The government is plotting to embark upon a massive program of gun confiscation, going door to door to take firearms away from American citizens so that they will be unable to resist the New World Order. Police, the military and even foreign troops may be used in the gun confiscation efforts.
• FEMA Concentration Camps. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has constructed hundreds of concentration camps in the United States, designed to hold “dissidents” and other American citizens following some imminent crackdown such as a declaration of martial law.

Let’s take each one of these topics and provide some much needed context that is sorely missing from the ADL’s slapped together hit piece.

With regards to martial law and the idea that a crisis could be used to impose it, the ADL should consider speaking with Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman of California’s 27th congressional district and Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma.

Sherman has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1997 and also serves on the Committee on Financial Services along with Texas Congressman Ron Paul, whom the ADL ludicrously refer to in their report as “a far right icon”.

In early October 2008, Sherman told the House that he personally knew of several Congressional representatives who have said they were threatened with the prospect of all out martial law should they vote in opposition to the $700 billion bailout that was eventually passed just over one year ago.

“The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. That atmosphere is not justified.” Sherman stated.

“Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple of thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no.” The Congressman continued.

A few weeks later, Senator James Inhofe named Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson as the source of the threat of martial law. Inhofe revealed that Paulson made the threat during a conference call on September 19th, around two weeks before the legislation was eventually approved by both the Senate and Congress.

Congressman Brad Sherman and Senator James Inhofe, two extremist conspiracy theorists according to the ADL’s definition.

For years, Congress has operated under “martial law” provisions which force members to vote on legislation without having time to adequately read and review it.

In addition, the U.S. has been in a declared state of national emergency for over 8 years. During that time it has emerged in several officially released reports, FOIA acquired documents and leaked government memos that preparation and planning is in the works for martial law style scenarios.

Most recently Barack Obama declared a second national state of emergency with regards to the swine flu epidemic. A national emergency allows normal legal procedures regarding a certain issue to be sidelined, should the federal government deem it necessary. Yet to even suggest that might be a fact means you could be a mass murderer in the ADL’s eyes.

Perhaps the most well known threat of martial law came in 2003 from General Tommy Franks, the former commander of the military’s Central Command.

Franks outlined the scenario by which martial law would be put in place, saying, “It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”

The threat of martial law is real, even if the imposition of martial law is yet to become a reality, yet to the ADL it is “extremist” to point out these straight forward facts.

The second paranoid delusional theory according to the ADL is gun confiscation.

The ADL says it is an extremist’s fantasy that police and military could be used to confiscate guns in the wake of a national emergency. However, this is exactly what happened in New Orleans in the wake of hurricane Katrina in 2005, as the following video comprised of news footage, eyewitness statements and police press conferences outlines:

Again, the threat of gun confiscation is real.

Legislation to impose unprecedented controls on gun ownership is real.

It was real when George W. Bush was president and it is still real now Barack H. Obama is president.

Over the last couple of years intense debate has raged over the very meaning of the second amendment as new gun laws have been legislated and passed.

I’m not an extremist for pointing this out, all I have done is read the newspaper.

The third “extremist conspiracy theory”, according to the ADL, is the existence of FEMA camps. An anti-government delusional or a real and pressing issue? Unlike the ADL, we will provide some evidence rather than what “someone wrote on a forum” to help you decide.

Recent Legislation introduced into Congress mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations.

The purpose of such facilities is to provide “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” the expansion of which under FEMA is codified under HR 645, otherwise known as the National Emergency Centers Act.

Ominously, the bill states that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” an open ended mandate which many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse.

The issue of containment camps re-gained national attention three years ago when it was announced that Kellogg, Brown and Root had been awarded a $385 million dollar contract by Homeland Security to construct detention and processing facilities in the event of a national emergency.

The language of the preamble to the agreement veils the program with talk of temporary migrant holding centers, but it is made clear that the camps will also be used “as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency.”

Following the story, first given wide attention by Prisonplanet.com, the Alternet website put together an alarming report that collated all the latest information on plans to initiate internment of political subversives and Muslims after the next major terror attack in the US.

The article highlighted the disturbing comments of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who encouraged torture supporting then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to target, “Fifth Columnists” Americans who show disloyalty and sympathize with “the enemy,” whoever that enemy may be.

It is important to stress that the historical precedent mirrors exactly what the Halliburton camp deal outlines. Oliver North’s Reagan era Rex 84 plan proposed rounding up 400,000 refugees, under FEMA, in the event of “uncontrolled population movements” over the Mexican border into the United States.

The real agenda, just as it is with Halliburton’s gulags, was to use the cover of rounding up immigrants and illegal aliens as a smokescreen for targeting political dissidents. From 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the “ADEX” list.

As recently highlighted by author Naomi Wolf, the National Counterterrorism Center holds the names of close to one million “terror suspects” with the number increasing by 20,000 per month.

Discussions of federal concentration camps are no longer the rhetoric of paranoid Internet conspiracy theorists, they are mainstream news.

Furthermore, a much discussed and circulated report, the Pentagon’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program, has recently been updated and the revision details a “template for developing agreements” between the Army and corrections facilities for the use of civilian inmate labor on Army installations.”

The plan is clearly to swallow up disenfranchised groups like prisoners, immigrants and Muslims at first and then extend the policy to include ‘Fifth Columnists,’ otherwise known as anyone who disagrees with the government or exercises their Constitutional rights.

Respected author Peter Dale Scott speculated that the “detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.”

Daniel Ellsberg, former Special Assistant to Assistant Secretary of Defense, called the plan, “preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters. They’ve already done this on a smaller scale, with the ’special registration’ detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo.”

Furthermore, In 2002, FEMA sought bids from major real estate and engineering firms toconstruct giant internment facilities in the case of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack or a natural disaster.

Okanogan County Commissioner Dave Schulz went public in 2003 with his contention that his county was set to be a location for one of the camps.

Furthermore, in May 2006, we exposed the existence of a nationwide FEMA programwhich is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation for the implementation of martial law, property and firearm seizures, mass vaccination programs and forced relocation.

This program is continuing under the Obama administration with churches declaring that Barack Obama’s presidency is appointed by God and that Obama himself is “God’s minister”.

Of course, the authors of the ADL report will not thoroughly read this article. They will not check the links to mainstream news articles and official government documents.

They will simply take it as more evidence to use to smear Alex Jones, his readers and the truth community. They will continue to lump in patriotic Americans and freedom lovers everywhere with the activities of a minority of racists and psychopaths that they choose to highlight.

More and more people are uniting in protest against the erosion of liberty, embracing a peaceful revolution of information, their causes overlapping, whether it be anti-war protesters, those against the bailout of private offshore corporations or second amendment activists, the list goes on.

However, the ADL will continue to tell you that America is about to explode into a cess pit of violence, rage and hatred. The ADL will always tell you this because it has to, otherwise it will no longer have a purpose, it will no longer receive funding, and like any organization it will go out of business.

Once again, the anachronous ADL has proven that far from railing against discrimination and division, it is engaged in actively promoting and encouraging it by spreading libelous lies and concocting character assassinations in order to ensure its own survival.
