- In the US, our First Amendment guarantees free speech.
Because of this and determined opposition, the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith, architect of U.S. hate laws, has been frustrated in attempts
to pass a federal hate and speech crime law. Yet, ADL has not given up.
Through bias and hate crime laws on the state and local levels, this
enormously powerful and persuasive Jewish activist group still aggressively
erodes freedom of speech for Americans, especially Christians and conservatives.
-
- ADL has persuaded lawmakers to
pass bias and hate crimes legislation by saying these laws would not affect
freedom of speech. This worked in Canada. In 1971, the northern branches
of ADL, the Canadian Jewish Congress and B'nai B'rith Canada, convinced
Parliament to enact their federal "anti-hate" law (The Canadian
Human Rights Act). They assured MP's that there were adequate restraints
in the law to preserve freedom of speech. Yet the supposed "checks
and balances" proved a sham.
-
- In Canada today, there is no protection
for anyone accused of expressing public, verbal "hatred or contempt"
for members of a federally protected group (especially homosexuals, Jews,
or Muslims). A homosexual "victim" needs only to persuade a single
hearings officer that his feelings were hurt; truth is not admitted as
evidence, and his critic will be found guilty as a hate criminal. First
offenses average a $5000 fine. No one so accused in Canadian hate crimes
tribunals has ever been acquitted.
-
- Phase One: Passing Hate Laws
-
- In order to persuade wary US legislators
to pass hate laws, ADL assures them that hateful or contemptuous speech
is not itself a hate crime. To be a hate crime, ADL says "bias"
must motivate a violation of established law, i.e. traditional English
law. Only then can police and courts pursue a hate crime charge. ADL says
this definition of a hate crime is so protective of free speech that no
American will ever be prosecuted for a speech crime under ADL hate laws.
-
- As in Canada, 45 U.S. state legislatures
were satisfied that ADL only wanted to punish actual crime, not speech.
They trustingly enacted ADL hate laws-just like parliaments in Canada,
most European countries, Australia and New Zealand.
-
- Having passed the Canadian hate
law in 1971, ADL/B'nai B'rith were confident they could enact its American
equivalent, the federal Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 1998. As in Canada,
they wanted to suddenly entrap Americans in a hate crimes vise, initiating
hate crimes indictments throughout America from the federal level. This
lockdown on free speech, buttressed by Jewish-dominated big media, would
be virtually impossible to repeal. (See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/jewsconfirmbigmedia.html>Jews
Confirm Big Media Is Jewish)
-
- Yet ADL did not expect dogged,
long-term educational and legislative opposition, largely from the National
Prayer Network (<http://www.truthtellers.org/>www.truthtellers.org).
Now, ten years later and after five defeats in Congress, a frustrated ADL
is far behind schedule, deprived of an all-empowering federal hate law.
(See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/unsungheroes.htm>Unsung
Heroes of Hate Bill Defeat)
-
- Phase Two: Indicting Speech
-
- Defeated in attempts to pass a
federal hate law, ADL is now moving forward aggressively with hate and
bias crimes prosecutions on state, county, and municipal levels. ADL has
permeated these strata of our society with extensive "anti-bias"
education programs for at least 40 years.
-
- ADL still attempts to persuade
members of Congress that a federal hate law will never threaten free speech.
But on the local level, ADL is already doing the opposite: fast-forwarding
prosecution of Christians for speech crimes alone. In the US, we now see
ADL-educated state, county, and city officials making Canadian-style laws.
They indict individuals who have not committed criminal acts not
according to traditional law. Consider:
-
- In 2004, eleven Christians were arrested in Philadelphia
for the "hate crime" of singing "Blessed Be the Name of
the Lord" and holding up signs with Scripture verses condemning homosexuality,
even though they violated no law. (See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/philadelphiapursuescharges.html>Philadelphia
Pursues "Hate Crimes" Charges Against Christians)
-
- California's recently passed anti-discrimination law,
S.B.777, bans verbal expression of bias against homosexuality in public
education. It makes this an offense worthy of dismissal of a teacher, expulsion
of a student, or a lawsuit. Expressing moral opposition to homosexuality
is now a "hate crime" in California, even though it violates
no traditional law. (See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/howbiblebecamehate.htm>How
the Bible Became 'Hate Speech' in California)
-
- In New Mexico, a photographer and his wife were found
guilty of a "hate crime" for refusing to photograph same-sex
couples; they were fined $6600. Their "crime of bias" violated
no law. (See, <http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=68693>New
Mexico accused of violating 'free exercise' of religion)
-
- The Colorado legislature just approved S.B.200. This
law says no business can criticize or discriminate against anyone because
of their "perceived" sexual orientation. Penalty for violation:
one year in prison. Again, a hate crime without violation of established
law. (See, <http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=68542>Legislator:
Law allows banishment of Bible)
-
- These are only a few examples
of the many bias and hate crimes charges being leveled in the US without
violation of traditional law.
-
- Some cases derive authority from
recently passed, phony bias crime laws. Many U.S. states have passed ADL's
"workplace discrimination" laws. They indict any employer or
property owner who discriminates against homosexuals in sales, rentals,
or hiring and firing. Again, such individuals become criminals not for
violating a just law established over the past 5000 years, but for violating
a politically biased law probably passed in the last two years.
-
- ADL/B'nai B'rith want to make
Christians and freedom-loving Americans into hate criminals simply for
holding to Constitutional rights and Biblical values they can't compromise.
For example, the ADL's "Office of Global Anti-Semitism" in the
U.S. State Department now transforms tens of millions of Christians who
inflexibly believe the New Testament into "classic anti-Semites."
(See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/bibleishatesaysusgov.htm>Bible
is Hate, says U.S. Government) The moral principles of conservative Christians
are mis-defined as evil and "hateful;" the ultimate goal is to
remove Christian influence from society.
-
- Paralysis of the Church
-
- Incredibly, the church and its
leaders remain determined to not criticize those who foment such persecution
- the evil leaders and activists of "God's chosen people." Christians
fear being labeled "anti-Semitic." They remain immobile, indecisive,
even as Biblically prophesied persecution begins.
-
- This cannot be God's will.
-
- America, unique in the world's
history, was founded by Christian believers as a bastion of religious and
political freedom. If the American church had guarded this heritage by
speaking out, in specific terms, against anti-Christian Jewish activist
groups, such as ADL, People for the American Way, Southern Poverty Law
Center, ACLU, etc., we would not be losing our freedom of speech today. (See,
<http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/acluheavywithjews.html>ACLU Top
Heavy with Jews) Instead, the church languishes in the bondage of a self-imposed
restriction not to criticize and identify the very Jewish media and "civil
liberties" activists who seek to destroy her.
-
- Since the church has willingly
allowed one hand to be tied behind her back, it is little wonder that,
although she seeks to escape the "hate crimes" noose being tightened
around her, she cannot. As long as evangelicals do not love the whole
truth enough to speak it, and instead protect those who seek its ruin,
how can they escape?
-
- As a result, no longer sharing
characteristics of the noble and mighty eagle, the church now owns the
traits and possible fate of a much less empowered, vulnerable bird:
-
- The sitting duck.
