- "The Book of Daniel," now airing Friday nights
on NBC, is an unprecedented assault on the time-honored ideal of the Christian
family.
-
- Star Aidan Quinn: "I'm an Episcopalian priest who
struggles with a little self-medication problem and I have a 23-year old
son who's gay and a 16-year-old daughter who's caught dealing pot and another
son who's jumping on every high school girl he sees, and a wife who's very
loving but also likes her martinis." 1
-
- "Daniel's" dysfunctional and degenerate family,
led by a weak-willed father, is permeated with suspicion and backbiting.
The second episode ends with hearty laughter during family dinner when
Webster's older son and secretary both boldly admitted their homosexuality.
This is NBC's portrait of a "Christian" family.
-
- Why is NBC/Universal Attacking the Christian Family?
-
- Who's behind such negative stereotyping of millions of
Christian families? "Daniel" is aired by NBC and produced by
Universal Studios. Let's briefly review the history of these media giants.
-
- In its article on motion pictures, the prestigious Encyclopedia
Judaica says: "All the large Hollywood companies, with the exception
of United Artists, were founded and controlled by Jews." The Judaica
is also quick to credit Jews with the development of radio and television.
2
-
- The Judaica says David Sarnoff started the first U.S.
radio chain in 1926 as a service of RCA. Sarnoff also pioneered the development
of color TV and built NBC into one of the big three TV networks. 3
- In 1928, CBS Radio was founded by another Jew, William
S. Paley, who built CBS into a multi-billion-dollar TV empire. 4
- The third major TV network, ABC, was an outgrowth of
an anti-trust suit against NBC in the early 1940s. Leonard Goldenson became
president as ABC soared to national prestige. 5
-
- Jewish Mastermind within NBC
-
- Who owns and runs NBC today? Sarnoff's company was bought
by General Electric in 1986. Its top administrators are mostly non-Jewish
G.E. career execs.
-
- But the real mastermind behind NBC's TV programming is
Jeff Zucker. Chief executive officer of the NBC Universal Television Group,
"Zucker is responsible for all programming across the company's extensive
television properties, including network, news, cable, and sports and Olympics.
His responsibilities also include the company's studio operations and global
distribution efforts." 6
- As president of NBC Entertainment since 2000, Zucker
oversees the network's entire entertainment schedule. A five-time Emmy
Award winner, Zucker is famed for his creation of "edgy" and
immoral TV fare including Las Vegas and Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
-
- The powerhouse behind NBC Universal's "The Book
of Daniel" has got to be Jeff Zucker, a Jew.
-
- Powerful Jews at NBC Universal also include David Zaslav,
president, NBCU Cable; Jeffrey Gaspin, president, NBCU Cable Entertainment;
Neal Shapiro, president, NBC News; and Marc Saperstein, senior executive
vice president, human resources and communications. "The Book of Daniel"
is defended by vice president of current programming Vivi Zigler. (The
famous Lichter/Rothman poll of top media executives found that 59 percent
were "raised in the Jewish religion.")
-
- Jewish Control of Universal
-
- Unlike NBC, whose ownership passed out of direct control
of Jews, Universal Studios is presently owned by Edgar Bronfman Jr., heir
of the Seagrams liquor empire. Bronfman is vice president of the European
media colossus Vivendi and owns a controlling interest in legendary Jewish
media giant MCA. Both are now incorporated into Universal. A generation
ago, MCA thrust upon Christian America the incredibly blasphemous The Last
Temptation of Christ. Universal Studios is presided over by Ron Meyer,
a Jew.
-
- While the creator of "The Book of Daniel" is
an Irish-Cuban ex-Catholic homosexual named Jack Kenny, the comedy is produced
by Universal, one of the great Jewish film production companies. A high
percentage of Jewish names occur in the credits of "The Book of Daniel."
This list includes writers David Simkins, Dava Savel, Tracy Stern, Dan
E. Fesman, Harry Victor, and Blair Singer, as well as directors Mel Damski
and Adam Bernstein. 7
- The full list of Jews is probably greater since
many in the media have adopted Gentile names.
-
- How Should Christian America Respond?
-
- Donald Wildmons' American Family Association has already
prompted more than half a million complaints to NBC/Universal. Boycotts
of sponsors are underway. In fact, many sponsors have already jumped
ship, fearful of boycott from the religious right.
-
- Yet such protest, massive as it may be, is largely ineffective
in the long term. Why? Because it doesn't specify, in a way that really
matters, the identity of those who corrupt America. While such protest
may cause some financial discomfort to the Jewish networks, it does not
incapacitate them from launching ever-new assaults on Christian values.
-
- There is a much better way to deal with this perennial
problem.
-
- Another Way to Fight Back
-
- In the late 1980s, Jewish MCA horrified Christian America
with their blasphemous film The Last Temptation of Christ. In a very well
publicized national statement, Dr. Jerry Falwell warned MCA that if they
did not cancel promotion, their movie would cause a backlash of anti-Semitism. This
was Falwell's way of letting America know that MCA was Jewish.
-
- Seizing the advantage, I produced a powerful brochure
titled "The Real Reason Behind the Film, The Last Temptation of Christ."
It revealed MCA's Jewish ownership and production. Our National Prayer
Network mailed it to 192,000 evangelical pastors in America. I received
only five negative letters and sold many hundreds of copies of my book
Israel: Our Duty, Our Dilemma and video The Other Israel to curious, alarmed,
and very appreciative Christian leaders.
-
- About 12 years later, a national Jewish spokesman lamented
that The Last Temptation of Christ was the greatest disaster in Jewish-Christian
relations of the last century.
-
- Why did Last Temptation backfire so violently against
the Jews of Hollywood, forcing them to cancel plans for even worse anti-Christ
films? Not primarily because of protest letters or boycotts. Such public
protests to the Jewish media are important, yet what media moguls really
fear is that the Jewish source of Hollywood's anti-Christian agenda will
become known. They fear such exposure will stimulate investigation
of the Jewish religion, uncovering the intense hatred of Gentiles and Christians
found in the Talmud and the Zohar.
-
- MCA was forced to cancel their plans for even more anti-Christ
films primarily because Jerry Falwell and National Prayer Network had the
courage to say the forbidden "J" word. At last Christian leaders
knew who was so intently trashing our sacred Christian symbols and values.
Also, the Jewish community, embarrassed and fearful of anti-Semitism and
scrutiny of the Jewish religion, doubtless pressured their media brethren
to be less aggressive against Christianity. As a result, a production
as blasphemous as Last Temptation has not been repeated by Hollywood.
-
- Patriot Power
-
- Will evangelical leaders respond to this outrage as Christ
did to the Pharisees -- by speaking the whole truth? Or will they
respond like the false prophets, hiding truth out of "fear of the
Jews?" 8
-
- Regardless, the average citizen has never had more power
to influence large numbers of people. Through postings on the Internet,
messages sent by fax or email, and as callers to talk shows, each of us
can hurt the Jewish media moguls powerfully by publicly identifying them
as Jewish.
-
- This can begin a pincer movement as Hollywood is pressured
by angry patriots on the right and by embarrassed Jews on the left.
-
- This was the dynamic that ended further production of
films like Last Temptation.
-
- We can do it again.
