- The Anti-Defamation League likes to describe itself as
a "civil liberties" watchdog group that is ever alert to warn
of dangerous "conspiracy theories," particularly those that are
'anti-semitic.'
-
- While deploring the conspiracy theories of others, ADL
has produced a 27-page special report entitled
-
- "Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies" http://www.adl.org/special_reports/rage-grows-in-America/
which, of course, is a conspiracy theory of its own!
-
- It charges that a number of right wing media leaders
are conspiring to lie and distort facts in order to incite tens of millions
of Americans against Pres. Obama. ADL further alleges that those who receive
such disinformation, such as tea party and town hall protesters, are also
part of the conspiracy. Trampling truth, ADL says, they follow conspiracy
theories that "imagine government plots." Ignoring reality, ADL
says these millions of lesser conspirators will repeat almost anything
necessary to "destroy" their opponents and bring down Obama.
-
- ADL: "Since the election of Barak 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 violenceSome of
these assertions are motivated by prejudice, but more common is an intense
strain of anti-government mistrust and anger, colored by a streak of paranoia
and belief in conspiraciesUltimately, 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 in violent anti-government
acts."
-
- In reality, Obama has outrageously gone out of his way
to offend the values and commonsense of heartland America by promoting
a big-spending, socialist, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, pro-hate law agenda.
Obama's far-left arrogance and excesses and a Democrat Congress which ignores
the wishes of their constituents are the real cause of mounting opposition.
-
- Here, from top to bottom, are those whom ADL contends
are either architects or accomplices of conspiracies motivated by malice
and paranoia, which could plunge America into hate-motivated violence.
-
- Glenn Beck
-
- ADL says, "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 showBeck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing
Pres. Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration."
"Beck's key role as a 'fear-monger-in-chief,' [involves] using constant
laments such as 'I fear for my country,' to create a sense of anxiety about
and hostility towards the government in his audience." Regarding the
September 12, 2009 Populist rally in Washington, D.C., ADL says Beck "promoted
the event. The anger and rage that had been expressed at town hall meetings
a few weeks earlier and at Tea Parties across the country became even uglier."
-
- Joseph Farah and WorldNetDaily
-
- "WorldNetDaily (WND), published by Joseph Farah,"
ADL contends, "is an online newspaper with a far-right wing, political
outlook that often blurs the distinction between fact and opinion, or even
fact and fiction. The publication has spearheaded efforts to convince the
public that Obama does not have a legitimate birth certificate." ADL
says, "One of the main reporters for WND, Jerome Corsi, has been a
major promoter of the "birther" conspiracy theory..." that
Obama was born outside the US.
-
- ADL says Farah took part in the strongly anti-Obama "How
to Take Back America" conference in St. Louis, September 25-26. It
was heavily promoted by WND and regular columnist and anti-Obama syndicated
talk show host Janet Porter.
-
- ADL describes in detail how, "Two attorneys, Philip
Berg, of Pennsylvania, and Orly Taitz, of California, have been particularly
active in spreading the 'birther' argument, as hasWND." Filing lawsuits
demanding certainty about Obama's citizenship, ADL says, are "Alan
Keyes and Wiley Drake, 2008 presidential and vice-presidential candidates
respectively for the fringe American Independent party."
-
- Alex Jones
-
- ADL calls Alex Jones "the Conspiracy King."
It says, "If, in mainstream America, Glenn Beck may be the radio talk
show host most involved stirring up anti-government hostility and anger,
his counterpart on the extreme fringe is Alex JonesHe hascollaborated with
celebrity truthers such as actor Charlie Sheen and far right icon Ron Paul,
a US Representative from Texas [who] has often been a guest on his show."
In March 2008, media figure Lou Dobbs was a guest on Jones' show.
-
- "After the election of Obama, Jones began to develop
ties to mainstream conservative media outlets such as FOX News Network."
Yet ADL asserts Jones fulfills exactly what it predicts right-wing, anti-Obama
hysteria will ultimately lead to: ADL says the April murder in Pittsburgh
of three policeman by young Richard Poplawski was under the influence of
"Jones and other conspiracy theorists."
-
- Michael Savage
-
- ADL: "As these conspiracy theories become more popular,
they are starting to cross over from the fringes into more "mainstream"
venues. On August 14, 2009, for example, right-wing radio talk show host
Michael Savage, whose listeners are estimated to number over eight million,
proclaimed on his Savage Nation that the government would declare martial
law. "Martial law," he announced, "will be declared in this
country over a pretext. I think the likelihood is very high that the gang
that has taken over this country will declarea pretextthe equivalent of
the Reichstag fire [an event that helped the Nazis take over the German
government]to put in a form of martial law."
-
- Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter
-
- ADL complains that these internet giants are making possible
"viral" proliferation of grassroots American rage and conspiracy
theories by providing them an uncensored forum.
-
- Tea Party protests
-
- ADL says, "Some conservative media outlets, such
as the FOX New Network, have also played a role in promoting tea parties."
"At these events, and later sequels, anti-government sentiments and
conspiracy theories proliferated, with a common theme being that somehow
Obama had 'stolen' the country from Americans."
-
- Town hall meetings
-
- Town hall meetings, which ADL calls "disruptions,"
are described as the rude, unnecessary interruption of political and social
progress, particularly healthcare reform, during this past summer. ADL
especially objects to frequent imagery comparing Obama and the Democrat
proposal of taxpayer-funded abortions to Nazism. "The widespread use
of Holocaust and Nazi analogies and comparisons, which still continue,
goes well beyond legitimate or even exaggerated criticism of the Obama
administration and its policies." "In these Nazi analogies, Obama
and his supporters are being cast as opponents to be destroyed rather than
fellow citizens with whom dialogue, debate, and compromise are possible.
The ready use of such propaganda is symptomatic of the radicalization of
some segments of the American populace, and contributes to a self-perpetuating
cycle of radicalization, in which even more extreme ideas seem plausible
and acceptable."
-
- Immigration protest
-
- ADL describes immigration protesters as "xenophobes"
-- persons afflicted with an irrational fear of foreigners and those who
are different. It is also a movement, ADL claims, which is manipulative.
"continuing its exploitation of hot-button issues to gain a greater
following, the anti-immigrant movement is increasingly appropriating anti-government
language and events."
-
- ADL may particularly resent ALIPAC, the immigration watchdog
group which, this spring, alerted the nation to ADL/Southern Poverty Law
Center (SPLC) attempts in their MIAC document to bias Missouri State Police
against a wide spectrum of Christian/conservative and patriotic groups,
labeling them potential terrorist threats. ADL says of ALIPAC leader William
Gheen that he "has a history of using the tea party movement to serve
his own purposes."
-
- What Can We Do?
-
- The Anti-Defamation League is the most powerful, anti-Christian,
pro-homosexual, pro-abortion attack group in America. Yet because ADL,
like its sister attack group SPLC, is entirely staffed by far left Jews,
Christian watchdog groups, such as WorldNetDaily, virtually never criticize
it.
-
- This must change. Christian/conservative leaders must
recognize that ADL, if further protected from criticism, will only mount
even more vicious anti-Christian assaults. In 1939, British diplomats Chamberlain
and Asquith hoped that if Western powers remained silent and inoffensive
Hitler could be contained. In reality, like a tiger, Hitler could smell
their fear. Their appeasement only emboldened him to become more aggressive.
-
- The same will happen if millions of Obama protesters
remain silent before ADL's recent attack upon them. Like Hitler's 1939
"war games" in Spain, ADL is now testing the religious and political
right to see if it will publicly resist ADL's agenda of bringing persecution
to them. Persecution is the whole purpose behind ADL-orchestrated hate
crimes laws worldwide. After Pres. Obama's signing of the federal hate
law last month, ADL boldly took credit not only for "spearheading"
its passage over the past 12 years but also for convincing 45 U.S. states
and the District of Columbia to pass some version of its "model hate
crime law."

- ADL Hails Long Overdue Enactment of Hate Crime Law,

- http://www.adl.org/PresRele/HatCr_51/5635_51.htm
-
-
- Will conservative leaders even mention ADL's attack on
them this week? Since ADL was founded in 1913, none has had the courage
to publicly criticize it.
-
- If they did so now, it would be remarkably out of character.

-
- It is worth noting that the ADL was created
in 1913, around the same time when atheist Zionist Communists were
meeting in town halls and conspiring to overthrow the US government
and enthrone themselves in power. According to minutes of their meetings
held in New York City, the first laws they wanted abolished were the
"conspiracy" laws, which were preventing Communist monopolies
from emerging and destroying competition.
-
- Now that the Communists have successfully established
Marxist Communism in the US government, in violation of the Constitution,
they want everyone to be silenced - in further violation. Americans
need to wake up and remove all Marxist Communists and Socialists from
occupying seats in the US government.
