- As I spearhead national opposition to "anti-hate"
bill S.1145 (The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005),
I receive input such as this: "I have read S.1145 and don't find any
great conspiracy against free speech." Or, "My member of Congress
says S.1145 merely provides federal assistance to state and Indian tribes
in their fight against violent hate crimes."
-
- Here is a brief guide to understanding S.1145's hidden
yet supremely dangerous agenda.
-
- This bill empowers the federal government to assume control
of local hate crimes law enforcement. It establishes unity between federal
and local law enforcement, thus creating the beginnings of a "police
state." This enables the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, creator
of this legislation, to enforce nationally the kind of persecution against
Christians which their national executive board member, Philadelphia District
Attorney Lynne Abraham, enforced locally against 11 Christians on October
10, 2004. Preaching at a gay pride rally, they were arrested for violation
of ADL's Pennsylvania hate law. Possible penalties: 47 years in prison
and $90,000 fines each. Mercifully, the case against them was thrown out
by a higher court.
-
- Lynne Abraham had unrestrained power to command her police
underlings to arrest the Philadelphia Christians. ADL wants the same federal
power to enforce its federal hate crimes agenda against Christians, right-wing
talk show hosts, critics of Israel, pro-lifers, anti-war activists, etc.,
in every town in America.
-
- Federal Takeover of Law Enforcement
-
- Instead of telling us how S.1145 threatens our liberties,
the ADL deceptively portrays this bill as a sincere effort by the federal
government to respond to a "serious national problem:" violent
hate crimes in the states and on Indian reservations.
-
- The real goal of S.1145 is to grant permission to the
federal government to control local civil rights law enforcement.
-
- 1. Sec.2,4-13 clearly and repeatedly states that occurrence
of bias-motivated violence in a state entitles the federal government to
override states, rights in law enforcement, establishing "federal
jurisdiction over certain violent crimes motivated by bias." (12)
-
- 2. Sec.7(b)(2)(A), strategically positioned near the
end of the bill (just when most readers and members of Congress are yawning)
is a tangle of deliberately confusing grammar and legalese terminology.
Yet its implications are deadly to the future of states, rights. It says
that the U.S. Attorney General, or his underlings, may pursue hate crimes
indictments within states if:
-
- A. States do "not intend to exercise jurisdiction"
in prosecuting hate crimes in the way the federal government wants them
to. In other words, if a state wants to prosecute all crime according to
physical evidence, not "bias motivation," and reject a federal
ADL hate law for their state, then the federal government has the right
to swoop in and enforce the federal hate law and its "bias motivation"
legal philosophy, whether that state likes it or not. Sec.7(b)(2)(A)
-
- B. If states do not obtain the kind of verdict the federal
government wishes in a hate crimes trial, the government also has the right
to intervene and violate states, rights, presumably retrying the case to
their satisfaction. Sec.7(b)(2)(D)
-
- Slippery Legislation
-
- By its obscurity and deceptiveness, ADL has crafted S.1145
to slip like an eel through Congress. This literally happened September
14, 2005 when Amendment 2662 slithered through the House of Representatives
in only 45 minutes! But, this eel has fangs. It squirms toward one dark
objective: Creation of a vast Orwellian anti-hate bureaucracy and police
state with ADL lurking behind the scenes to seize and silence the politically
incorrect anywhere in America.
- From a supreme position of power over all federal and
local law enforcement, the ADL will be able to enforce its twisted definition
that "hate" means bias against federally protected groups, particularly
Jews and homosexuals. All Bible-believing Christians will become "haters,"
just as D.A. Lynne Abraham viewed them as they preached in the Philadelphia
public square last year.
-
- Take a Second Look
-
- So, to all who haven't seen a conspiracy in S.1145, even
after reading it, I say: Read it again more deeply. Consider how that similar
ADL/B'nai B'rith legislation has ended free speech in Canada, and European
countries. You must see S.1145 for what it is: possibly the most dangerous
threat to states, rights, evangelical Christianity, free speech, and freedom
itself which has ever been proposed to Congress.
