As the festive season approaches, we once again hear loud anti-Christmas sentiments throughout the MSM. The word “Christmas” I have been told is offensive, and other more-appropriate vernacular if you will, must be used. “Happy holidays”, “merry winter-fest”… I’m sorry, but have I gone completely insane; offensive to whom?

I’ve often pondered; who, or rather what do-gooders are voicing these opinions. At first (and naively I might add) I thought it was those pesky Muslims we hear so much about, but Christ is a revered Islamic prophet. No Muslim anywhere would find offence in his name. Back at the drawing board it occurred to me; it must be those darn liberals! But hang on Christianity and liberalism are not mutually exclusive, my mother is both, so is my brother. Blast, another dead end. Surely these outspoken people must be common or at the very least easily distinguishable with their views, right?

The rhetorical reasoning above attempting to expose those responsible falls well short of identifying the real group. The truth is that all responsibility lies with the insidious agenda of the conventional media and their satellite organisations like the ADL. They claim to promote understanding and tolerance, but in reality these claims are self-defeating. Resentment, bitterness and anger are the only outcomes that can be realised. Those responsible do not stand in the light and openly identify themselves, rather they plan and scheme in the shadows so that no unwanted attention is received and the finger of blame is never pointed in their general direction.

Their game is simple; play the consumer against the retailer and fear will drive the agenda. Fear on behalf of the retailer, fear of offending their precious clientele. Undoubtedly, this is a racket. Ask yourself in all honesty who is offended by the name of Christ. Clearly there are people who are not religious, but would they get offended having been wished a merry Christmas?

The solution to this predicament is equally simple; fear has to be driven in reverse, a counter-strike following an attack. If retailers fear offending their customers, then take offence at anti-Christian sentiment. Shops that greet you with winter-fest cheer should be shunned. Happy holiday greeting cards should remain on shelves. Malls that refuse to display the nativity should remain empty. The racket will be destroyed.

Earlier this year Kaanquest released “The Anthem” which was the first single from his upcoming album. “The Anthem” featured ADL and was chosen as “Mp3 of the week” on the Community/Blog Whoa. Now Kaanquest is back with a remix to “The Anthem” and this time he’s brought together some of Swedens hottest rappers. The remix features appearances from Pato Pooh, Finess, Trainspotters, Academics, X-Man, Prop Dylan, Iron African, Kodie, Parham, Mohammed Ali, Supersci, Mojizzle, Cleo, Toffer, Hermanos Bernal & ADL.

The remix is based on the form of a cypher and each rapper contributes with their own style.  The track is produced by Haidar and Chefen is behind all the cuts.

Attention is beginning to be paid to the comment Sarah Palin made about settlements during her Barbara Walters interview: “I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand.”

Obama’s is not the first administration to oppose the settlements in the West Bank, as the Christian Science Monitor notes:

The administrations of Presidents Nixon, Johnson, Ford, Carter, and Clinton all considered the annexation of land seized in 1967 illegal. President Ronald Reagan took a position that some might be legal, but opposed their expansion. Prior to becoming president, as the US ambassador to the UN, George H.W. Bush called the settlements illegal. His son, President George W. Bush, thought natural growth for existing settlements was fine, but was opposed to new ones.

In the absence of any demographic data indicating a rising trend in Jewish immigration, some suspect that Palin is referring to a Pre-millennial Dispensationalist Endtime scenario, in which the Jews are ingathered in Israel to convert to Christianity or die in the Battle of Armageddon. Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic spoke to Dr. Thomas Ice of the Pre-Trib Research Center of Liberty University about this:

An alarm bell went off in my head when I heard Palin talk about “days and weeks.” It’s quite one thing to say that Israel needs settlements to contain its growing population (a belief unsupported by the facts, but I’ll deal with that another time), but it’s something else entirely to predict that Jews in the Diaspora will imminently be flooding the Holy Land. I asked Dr. Ice if he thought that this statement by Palin, who has been exposed to this brand of evangelical thinking in her Alaska churches, was informed by these beliefs.

“I’ve read that Palin has been part of an apparently unique movement I’ve heard of — that her pastor, when she was in the Assembly of God, believed based on some personal revelation he claims to have gotten from God, that the Jews would move to Alaska during the Tribulation. But nevertheless, my understanding from what I’ve seen is that she holds fairly typical Protestant Zionist beliefs, and one of those beliefs is the regathering of the Jews in Israel.”

Ice told me he believes this sort of thinking is supported by the facts. “Over forty percent of the world’s Jews now live in Israel. What Sarah Palin probably believes is that this is the first regathering,” when the Jews all migrate to Israel. “This is a condition for the second regathering, the regathering in belief, when the Jewish nation is converted. Then there will be the battle of Armageddon, because remember, Satan wants to wipe out the Jews to prevent the Second Coming, but Jesus comes to rescue the beleaguered Jews. We believe that the Jews are going to be converted so that they can call on Jesus to rescue them from Satan.”

Years ago, during the second Intifada, I attended a Bar Mitzvah of one of my cousins’ sons. The rabbi sermonized at great length about his confusion. As a life-long Democrat, liberal, and intellectual, he couldn’t understand how Nobel Prize laureates like Desmond Tutu and Jose Saramago could be so wrong about Israel while Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, who he considered to be wrong about everything else, were right. The ADL’s Abe Foxman–who I would guess is much more liberal than Sarah Palin on a host of issues–may also be troubled by cognitive dissonance, but not so much that he’s willing to reject Palin’s and her ilk’s friendship. On Sunday he called the JTA to vent his outrage at Jeremy Ben-Ami of the liberal J-Street lobby, who’d said that Palin’s “pandering to her right-wing base comes at the expense of the security of the State of Israel” and reveals “a glaring ignorance of damaging facts and a callous disregard of past and present U.S. policy.”

Foxman….specifically called JTA to slam J Street’s statement, asserting that it was “over the line.” Foxman said it was “the height of chutzpah” for J Street to claim that it knows what is best for the security of Israel.

“They’re attacking a celebrity for supporting Israel, but not in the way they want her to support Israel,” Foxman said.

Foxman acknowledged that he thought Palin’s remarks were a “simplistic effort to be supportive of the Israeli government,” but also insisted that they were “clear and well-intentioned” and “didn’t put any lives at stake.”

Go figure.I’ve been labeled everything from a tool of the international Zionist conspiracy to Israel’s best friend to “the Arabian Knight” to “a righteous gentile.”I am asked to speak to more Jewish audiences, including many chapters of the B’nai Brith, both in the U.S. and Canada, than Christian audiences, even though I am an Arab-American Christian.I’m a former columnist for the Jerusalem Post, and my coverage and analysis of the Middle East has been hailed by Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as thousands of other prominent Jewish leaders in Israel and the U.S.Nevertheless, the ADL is after me and my news organization.In case you don’t know what the ADL stands for, it is the Anti-Defamation League – formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith. It was founded, the group’s website explains, “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

Now, the group, which bills itself as “the nation’s premier civil rights/human relations agency,” claims to fight “anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry” and defend democratic ideals and civil rights for all.

So, why would the ADL go after me?

“Since the election of Barack Obama as president, a current of anti-government hostility has swept across the United States, creating a climate of fervor and activism with manifestations ranging from incivility in public forums to acts of intimidation and violence,” the group explains in its latest special report. “What characterizes this anti-government hostility is a shared belief that Obama and his administration actually pose a threat to the future of the United States. Some accuse Obama of plotting to bring socialism to the United States, while others claim he will bring about Nazism or fascism. All believe that Obama and his administration will trample on individual freedoms and civil liberties, due to some sinister agenda, and they see his economic and social policies as manifestations of this agenda. In particular, anti-government activists used the issue of health-care reform as a rallying point, accusing Obama and his administration of dark designs ranging from ’socialized medicine’ to ‘death panels,’ even when the Obama administration had not come out with a specific health-care reform plan. Some even compared the Obama administration’s intentions to Nazi eugenics programs.”

Well, to the aforementioned, I plead guilty.

If that’s the new definition of anti-Semitism in America, I guess I am one.

But I won’t be lonely, according to the ADL’s sweeping indictment of what has become popular American opinion.

Anyone who participated in a tea party is one also.

Anyone who got raucous at a town hall meeting is one, too.

Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., is one for shouting “You lie” to the president – even though he apologized and even though he was right in his initial statement.

Glenn Beck is one for “raising anxiety about and distrust towards the government.”

But, as for me, my biggest “hate crime” appears to be the fact that I have continued to ask a question that few others in the media have been willing to ask – “Where’s the birth certificate?”

Did you know that is, according to the ADL, a sign of being a hate-monger and an anti-Semite?

It’s also an expression of “anti-government hostility or anger” and serves to proliferate “anti-government conspiracy theories.”

“One of the newest such theories, the so-called ‘birther’ movement, which rapidly spread during and after the 2008 election campaign, targeted Obama himself,” the ADL special report states. “‘Birthers’ claim that Obama is not a legitimate president because he allegedly was not born in the United States (as the Constitution requires), but rather in Kenya. Especially disturbing are the mainstream media figures and politicians who implicitly or explicitly endorse the ‘birther’ conspiracy theory, or refuse to condemn it. Two attorneys, Philip Berg of Pennsylvania and Orly Taitz of California, have been particularly active in spreading the ‘birther’ arguments, as has an on-line right-wing newspaper, World Net Daily (sic).”

Check out WND’s full line of eligibility products – bumper stickers, post cards, DVDs and more!

Of course, no one at WND to my knowledge has ever said Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. or suggested he was born in Kenya. What I have done, both through my commentaries and our news reporting, is to look for evidence and to ask Obama to provide it – as the Constitution clearly requires. Simply being born in the U.S., by the way, does not necessarily fulfill the constitutional requirement of “natural born citizenship.”

But I digress.

I’m not here to defend myself. I’m here to plead guilty to being very suspicious of government – even cynical at times.

By the way, has anyone pointed out to the ADL that is precisely the role of a free press in a free society?

Maybe they missed that. Maybe they are too busy looking for anti-Semites under their beds to have forgotten the First Amendment protections of the press were specifically written and ratified by the founders because they were as suspicious of government as I am – maybe even more so. It’s a good thing the ADL wasn’t around back then. Otherwise, we’d still be subjects of the British Crown – and already be enjoying the benefits of socialized medicine.

So, where do I turn myself in for the show trial?

UPDATES

• November 20 2009 — The full translation of Gonen Ginat’s column can be seen here. The scan of the original clipping is here.

ORIGINAL POST

Noam Sheizaf at the excellent Promised Land blog spotted this particularly vile attack on J Street by the deputy editor of Sheldon Adelson’s Israeli Netanyahu fanzine, Israel Hayom, in the paper’s Friday (November 20 2009) edition.

Let’s see if Abe Foxman of the ADL (the acronym, it’s sometimes easy to forget, for the Anti Defamation League) is as quick to defend J Street as he was to jump to Sara Palin’s aid.

Some of Ginat's co-religionists outside the conference. (Photo credit: Matt Duss via Steve Clemons.)

Gonen Ginat is deputy editor for Israel Hayom, the free paper billionaire Sheldon Adelson has launched last year in support of Benjamin Netanyahu and that since became the second widely read paper in Israel.

(The not-so-secret admiration of Israel Hayom for the PM was demonstrated again this week, following a visit by Netanyahu to a navy base. The PM slipped on a boat, and nearly fell to the water. The day after three out of four dailies printed the pictures of Netanyahu loosing his footing, while oneshowed the PM in full command, standing next to the Chief of Staff. You can read more about it and see pics here.)

Back to Ginat. This weekend, Israel Hayom published its first weekend edition (what caused great concern among the other tabloids). Ginat holds the prestigious last page column of the political section, and he decided to make its debut with a brutal attack on J-Street. His entire article was dedicated to comparing the new lobbying group to a Jew named Yaakov Tachtenberg who published in April 33′ a statement in support of Nazi Germany.

It is no news that the only history lesson the Israeli Right attended was about Europe before WW2. with them it’s always 39′, everyone who doesn’t agree with them is an anti-Semite, probably a Nazi, and every Arab leader is Hitler (following this line, Netanyahu’s idol is Churchill). Egypt’s Nasser was Hitler, Arafat was Hitler, Ahmadinijad is Hitler, and only Abu-Mazen is not Hitler, just a Holocaust denier, i.e. a Nazi (That’s in Ginat article as well, by the way). But still, throwing the Nazi connection at the ever-so-careful people of J-Street, who open every sentence with “as Zionists and supporters of Israel”? That’s taking it a bit too far, I would say.

After quoting the Tachtenberg piece from 33′, and before quoting a similar article, written by a German “intellectual and reform Rabbi” (Ginat is Orthodox), Ginat writes:

“Soon they will be heating the ovens in Auschwitz, but the Jews of Germany didn’t let the facts reach them. Typical Jewish stubbornness, just like in J-Street (…). They published letters and made it clear that the fear of eradication is merely propaganda. With about the same words J-Street uses when Iran is discussed.”

Forget the fact that in 33′ nobody discussed eradication, not even the Nazis. Let’s listen to the deputy editor’s bottom line:

“Not that many years after (the holocaust), J-Street don’t get what’s wrong with hosting anti-Semites and cheering for holocaust deniers (…). Maybe they are right, maybe. On the other hand, when J-street find it difficult to figure who is right in the confrontation between Israel and Hamas, from the Middle East it is difficult, real difficult, to tell the difference between Tachtenberg and J-Street.”

1. Michael Collins Piper, who has written tons of books that you should all buy and that you can find  here, definitely has some strange ideas. For example, for months and months now Piper has been bitching and moaning about things and people like the History Channel, Alex Jones and Jim Marrs being obsessed with Nazis. The latter two are always talking about how the government is being run by Nazis and how the History Channel has basically become the Hitler Channel.

Now get a load of this. Piper is convinced that the government is not being run by Nazis. He does not think the Nazis have brought us the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the utter destruction of our economy, our insane health care system, or had anything to do with Barack Obama being elected as Netanyahu’s lawn jockey.

Get this, Piper actually thinks Hitler died in 1945. He thinks that the Nazi party types in the US are just a few crack pots who everyone thinks are idiots. He also thinks that Nazism around the world is dead and that the Nazis do not run the Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Bank, the IMF, Google, My Space, the House of Representatives, the US Senate, the White House, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Republic Broadcasting Network, nor even the main-stream media.  Oh My Torah! (OMT), what an idiotic dumb ass moron Piper must be.  And to make it even worse, this throaty-voiced journalist, writer, and author has even denied that the Arabs run Hollywood.

So you see, he’s obviously a schmuck, schlemiel, a shyster. Just ask the ADL. Until now.

For in a sea change as momentous as the return of Tom Cruise to Scientology, as breath-taking as Oiley Taitz doing a pole dance, as historically significant as the Holocaust, as meaningful as Oprah Winfrey’s tears this past week, and as emotional as would be the reunion of James McGreevey and Golan Cipel, The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has published a white paper vindicating Michael Collins Piper’s position on Nazis in the US government.

This 29-page document entitled: “The Jews Run Everything So Go Fuck Yourselves” – just kidding, it is really entitled “Rage Grows in America: Anti‑Government Conspiracies” exposes many of those who think that Hitler is still in vogue and that the Nazis are behind everything from Barack Obama’s election to plans to establishing the New World Order.

Here’s the cover picture from their web page announcing this report. I am not making this up.

The ADL says those who think that people who espouse such theories are anti-government wackos. It goes after the likes of Glen Beck and Alex Jones. Jones is singled out for special treatment with a section devoted to him as well as a nice photo.

If, in mainstream America, Glenn Beck may be the radio talk show host most involved in stirring up anti-government hostility and anger, his counterpart on the extreme fringes is Alex Jones. Though unknown to most Americans, Jones may currently well be the most prominent conspiracy theorist in the United States, and has been responsible for spreading and popularizing a wide variety of conspiracy theories, the majority espousing some form of anti-government viewpoint.

We here at Mantiq al-Tayr will be talking more about this report in later posts. But for now it is nice to see that the ADL supports Mike Piper’s contentions that the Hitler and the Nazis have nothing to do with the forces that are destroying the United States.

So ADL folks, just what forces are destroying this country? Maybe you should ask Mike Piper.

2. Jim Traficant is the subject of one of Michael Collins Piper’s many books. Now that Traficant is out of jail he has been hired by the American Free Press to do a regular column. Traficant too is one of those guys who doesn’t see a Nazi in every bush and so was spared mention in the ADL’s report. You can read the ADL’s endorsement of Traficant’s column here.

Piper even had this Nazi’s run the US denier on his radio show recently. For those of you who would like to listen to it you can download it below and it won’t have any of those disgusting RBN commericials.

Oh, there’s so much more. Check back soon.

The Anti-Defamation League released a report entitled Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies.  It chronicles, in detail, the growth of the “militia movement” in America since the election of Barack Obama.  The aspect of the report which is getting the attention of liberal news outlets is the part that specifically attributes Glenn Beck’s incendiary rhetoric and his use of the far-right fringe to earn a buck. 

As the ADL states,

The most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger is right-wing media host Glenn Beck, who has a TV show on FOX News and a popular syndicated radio show. While other conservative media hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, routinely attack Obama and his administration, typically on partisan grounds, they have usually dismissed or refused to give a platform to the conspiracy theorists and anti-government extremists. This has not been the case with Glenn Beck. Beck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing President Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration.

This has been a disturbing tradition of Beck which needs to go away.  I remember as I entered the realm of political opinion during the runup to to the Iraq war, there were plenty of crazies out there who had all sorts of conspiracy theories.  The difference between then and now was that the left wing crazies didn’t have a representative on MSNBC.  There was no one drawing arrows on a chalkboard between Bush’s picture and Hitler, there was no one constantly sounding the alarm that their country had been stolen or crying on the set due to their fear over the threat of fascism.

The lunatic right-wing fringe has that in Glenn Beck.  Way to be that light on the hill.

“In the year since we marked the historic election of the nation’s first African-American president we have seen a tremendous amount of anger and hostility,” Abraham H. Foxman, the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, recently remarked. “There is a toxic atmosphere of rage in America being witnessed at many levels, and it raises fundamental questions for our society. While not all of America has bought into these conspiracies, they seem to be seeping more and more into the mainstream. And since many of these expressions are interconnected in some significant ways, we wanted to try and connect the dots and ask the basic questions of why the anger, why now, and where might it lead.”

The ADL’s Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies report was released Monday; it can be found in its entirety here. It covers many of the same groups and people that I’ve written about on this blog, in my book CULTS, CONSPIRACIES, AND SECRET SOCIETIES, and elsewhere: Birthers, Tea parties, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, the militia movement, and the Bizarro-world notion that Obama is a modern-day Hitler. That last one is especially galling since a critical segment of the “patriot” constituency (not all of it by any means–birthers Orly Taitz and Philip Berg are Jewish, for example) denies that Hitler did anything particularly terrible to Europe’s Jews, or nothing, anyway, that they didn’t deserve.

It’s a relief to see the ADL expending its considerable resources on something other than knee-jerk apologetics for Israel or Armenian holocaust denialism; it’s nice too to see that they’ve pissed off Commentary, which scolded them for “choosing to frame its report…..in such a way as to associate all those who have opposed Obama’s policies in one way or another with the far Right.” I wish they’d been more explicit about the implicit, sub rosa Anti-Semitism that does characterize many of these groups, including Jones’, who stridently denies it. “Now that global anti-semitism is on the wane,” he declares in the characteristically self-aggrandizing rejoinder that is posted on his Propaganda Matrix website under the headline Purging the Undesirables: The ADL Attempts to Pin a Yellow Star on Grass Roots America, “the ADL has resolved to ceaselessly fearmonger about ‘conspiracy theorists’ and American taxpayers who merely express anger about how they have been financially raped by the multi-trillion dollar bailout and the continued looting of the economy by private central banks and offshore cartels.”

The ADL has launched a new purge against its political enemies in the form of a major report that equates skepticism and distrust of government with ‘a toxic atmosphere of rage,’ which is threatening to boil over in the form of violence, specifically targeting Alex Jones as ‘The Conspiracy King’ and inferring that people upset with Barack Obama’s policies are potential mass murderers. The tone of the ADL’s hit piece basically implies that Alex Jones and his ilk are such a threat to the establishment that they should be removed from society, which ironically is exactly how Hitler dealt with his political enemies in Nazi Germany. 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.

The article goes on to assert that no American “grass roots” group has ever committed or threatened to commit violence–they have always “urged unity and discouraged division, while promoting a peaceful message of non-violence.” “All the major acts of violence in connection with the militia movement during the 1990’s were committed by the government and federal agents”–at Ruby Ridge, Waco, and in Oklahoma City (Timothy McVeigh, it explains, was trained and “steered” by the FBI when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Building).

“International bankers,” “global governance,” and “one world currency” are all memes that allude directly or indirectly to the Conspiracy of the Learned Elders of Zion–as does the notion of a New World Order. Sometimes you don’t have to dig very deep at all into conspiracist literature to find anti-Semitism: Here’s a little something about the origins of the ADL that I just stumbled on at the Conspiracy Planet website.

In Jewish Hate, the Media, and the ADL, Dr. William Pierce concisely explains why and how the ADL was formed: ‘The ADL was organized in 1913 by a group of rich Jews specifically as a response to a notorious child-rape and murder in Georgia. Leo Frank was a Jew who owned a pencil factory in Atlanta.In 1913, he raped and murdered one of his White female employees, 14-year-old Mary Phagan. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. The governor of Georgia, in response to Jewish lobbying — and, most believe, in response to a large Jewish bribe — almost immediately commuted the death sentence.’

Now for Something Completely Different: A Real Holocaust

So, what is the ADL covering up these days?

The Armenian Holocaust of 1915, in which more than 1.5 million Armenians were murdered. You’ve heard the term “young Turks?” Well, it was the “Young Turks” of last century’s Turkey who conducted that little piece of genocide.

What does this have to do with Abe Foxman? Lots. He’s related.

You see, the “Young Turks” almost exclusively were Jews who, as “Donmeh Muslims,” then controlled Turkey.

Dr. William Pierce, by the way, is the author of THE TURNER DIARIES, the novel about an American race war that inspired Tim McVeigh with its account of the destruction of the FBI building in Washington, DC by a fertilizer bomb in a parked truck. The “Donmeh Muslims” were desccended from followers of Sabbatai Zevi–who converted from Judaism to Islam in 1666–a full 250 years before the Armenian holocaust. Some of the Young Turks were indeed Donmeh; but there was no connection–institutional or sentimental–between them and Judaism or the nascent Zionist movement. This hasn’t stopped a number of fringe historians from developing a conspiracy theory in which the Donmeh, working with the Masons, exterminated the Armenians out of jealousy of their superior commercial skills and to clear the way for a future state of Israel (which the traditional Muslim Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II had been opposed to). Some go so far as to say that the Zionists then “created” the Shoah, mostly by propaganda, sometimes by collaborating with Nazis in fratricidal murders, as a means of peopling Palestine with Jewish survivors.

Of course the real reason the ADL–along with the American Jewish Committee, B’nai Brith International, and the Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs–opposed Congressional recognition of the Armenian genocide as genocide back in 2007 was Realpolitik pure and simple. The Jews of Turkey supported their government’s denialist position out of fear of a Muslim backlash; there was concern that a challenge from foreign Jews might jeopardize Turkey’s relatively friendly relations with Israel. It was a shameful stance indeed and one that the ADL has since backed off on.

The Anti-Defamation League recently released a report, titled, “Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies”. The report was so bizarre and strung together in an obvious attempt at connecting political dissidents to- pretty much homegrown terrorists.

Naturally, they start by stating that it all started because of the election of Barack Obama. I guess they didn’t get the memo the past 8 years. Their mistake. Other than that, they hit the reasoning behind this dissent pretty much on the head- “Obama and his administration actually pose a threat to the future of the United States…..plotting to bring socialism to the United States, while others claim he will bring about Nazism or fascism….Obama and his administration will trample on individual freedoms and civil liberties, due to some sinister agenda, and they see his economic and social policies as manifestations of this agenda”. Well, at least they got the message, right?

They go on to state that, “Ultimately, this anti-government anger, if it continues to grow in intensity and scope, may result in an increase in anti-government extremists and the potential for a rise of violent anti-government acts.” Um, no, Anti-Defamation League. If our GOVERNMENT continues to grow in intensity and scope, more people will revolt by exercising their constitutional right to fight tyranny.

They claim it all began to manifest with the Tea Parties, and that the people attending were anti-government and basically conspiracy theorists. For one, they aren’t anti-government- they are “anti-Obama Administration’s” idea of the role of government. And I am sorry, as much as it makes for a better news story to assume this movement is a personal attack against our first black president- it’s simply not true. The tea parties started up in an attempt to stop our government from spending our country out of existence.

Town Hall meetings were not spared, either. “These events became a fertile ground for anti-Obama protests and stunts, with some protesters angrily launching verbal attacks against the president as well as other officeholders. A number of protests explicitly compared the Obama administration and its policies to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.”  I can’t even comment on this one, we all know how incredibly blown out of proportion it is.

They attack the birther’s also. I have not paid much attention to this whole thing because I am more concerned with what he is doing RIGHT NOW. But apparently this is one of their biggest concerns because they wasted no time slamming that movement into the “tin foil hat wearers” and “noose bearing rednecks” category.

They attack the media as well. As far as I can see the only news network involved in all of this is Fox News- which is a lame attempt at controlled opposition anyways. And, you know they had to be specific in mentioning Glenn Beck. Listen people, if you can’t see through Glen Beck’s theatrics you are gonna vote another Obama into office in 2012, only this one will come with a Republican tag. Controlled opposition. Repeat it until it clicks.

Alex Jones: The Conspiracy King. They attack his personal radio show as well as Infowars.com. They mention the infamous “American Concentration Camps” yet fail to mention H.R 645 that establishes these facilities. I don’t care WHAT you call them- call them community centers if you’d like. It is what it is. And I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but currently, all roads are leading to martial law. That, also, is what it is.

They mention conspiracy theories and government plots. The government plotting on us? No way! Oh- besides that one time Bush’s Granddaddy tried to help overthrow the government….Plenty of other instances that I will not get into here, if you care, you will Google them.

Can’t leave out the fear of “government drills” now, can we? I mean, it was only on the morning of September 11, 2001 that NORAD was out doing mock drills of- you guessed it- terrorists high jacking commercial airliners in an attempt to carry out an attack- leaving us defenseless that morning with no fighter jets able to stop the second, third and fourth planes. Oh, I don’t have to mention the other drills that went live, Google that, too.

Eh- this is getting old. They pretty much slam everyone that is opposed to Obama. Because, ya know, in a perfect country, we will all love and respect our leader no matter what he may do- even leaders who round up their people and put them in gas chambers…….

The Anti-Defamation League has launched a vicious new assault on Alex Jones and members of the patriot community in the form of a new report that equates skepticism and distrust of government with “a toxic atmosphere of rage,” which is threatening to boil over in the form of violence.

The tone of the ADL’s hit piece basically implies that Alex Jones and his ilk are such a threat to the establishment that they should be removed from society, which ironically is exactly how Hitler dealt with his political enemies.

Establishment Launches Huge Purge Against Alex Jones, Patriot Community

Ok ,this is just the first post about the ADL and their Censorship agenda
