The
Jewish Anti-Defamation League says alleged racial slurs by Tea Party
protestors against Congress members last month are "hate speech"
and not protected by the First Amendment. According to ADL, Tea
Party protestors "crossed the line" with racial slurs
against black Congressmen. Such slurs, ADL head Abe Foxman contends,
"are not constitutionally protected, and require a strong legal
response."
Foxman
says, "Four months ago, ADL documented an undercurrent of rage
sweeping across the United States. Unfortunately, that rage is spreading,
like a rash, creeping steadily from the fringes of our society into
the mainstream. Our leaders should demand criminal prosecution for
those who cross the line."
Really?
Such slurs are socially repugnant—and often unconstitutionally
prosecuted under ADL-inspired state and local hate crime statutes.
But racial, "homophobic," and "anti-Semitic"
slurs are protected by the First Amendment. Threat of imminent violence
against a Congressman is illegal. But tolerance of slurs as well
as profane, obscene, and blasphemous speech is a necessary side
effect of America's unique efforts to protect speech as much as
possible. The government can’t prosecute people for hurting
others' feelings!
Several
months ago, Democratic leadership responded to Rep. Wilson’s
public accusation that President Obama was a "liar" by
severely limiting Congressional members’ freedom to criticize
the President. If Republican and Democrat leadership take Foxman's
advice and go a step further, they will criminalize perhaps offensive,
yet constitutionally protected, speech by Tea Party members as well.
How
would this draconian speech ban be enforced? By ADL’s ready-made
federal hate crimes law!
The
hate crimes law criminalizes not just violent hate crimes but also
general bias crimes against persons or property. ADL considers public
slurs against protected groups a hate crime in the dozens of hate
crime bureaucracies it has created worldwide. If Congress follows
its recommendations, the US Justice Department could initiate test
indictments for statements that are racially or sexually derisive.
In appeals courts, liberal judges would likely uphold the federal
interest, outlawing the bias and words that ostensibly lead to crimes
of prejudice. The hate law would thus morph into a full-blown speech
crimes law. With such precedent the government could also criminalize
much "seditious," "violence-inciting," and "terrorist"
hate speech at Tea Party protests and online.
The
hate law is also meant to "prevent" hate crimes. This
suggests a federal mandate to discourage the biased thoughts and
words which the government views as causing hate crimes. The Matthew
Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act is also meant to prosecute hate
crimes “and for other purposes”—known only to
its framer, ADL.
The
ADL just produced a 20-page report, "Violent Voices: Anti-Government
Extremism Takes on New Intensity." The report gives examples
of "hate speech" now proliferating on the internet and
suggests these words will lead to violence. ADL
says, "We are deeply concerned about the current trend
and about the fact that a significant minority is coming to believe
that methods of peaceful protest have failed and the time has come
where violence may be necessary or justified. If this trend continues,
the Hutaree arrests may come to be seen not as the culmination,
but rather as the first step in a necessary and significant national
law enforcement operation. "
Our Right to "Threaten" Government
Freedom
of speech and conscience should mean that if Americans believe a
member of Congress truly betrayed our nation and Constitution they
have the right to say so. In the early 1950s, Americans demanded
the execution of atomic spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Today,
they have the same right to the opinion that, following due process,
execution of a treasonous public official is justified. A government
guilty of treason also deserves a violent end. This last, desperate
option is upheld by the Constitution, and millions now believe revolution
may be publicly advocated.
Contrary
to ADL's depiction of such verbal sentiment as unlawful, this view
springs primarily from patriotic conviction, not "hate."
Although countless Americans may now hold this opinion, it does
not mean they intend to imminently execute traitors. It is not in
the same category as sending an email to one's Congressman, threatening
to kill him at his next town hall meeting. Yet if ADL is successful
in making slurs indictable, soon all who "threaten" government
officials through “uncivil” speech could be viewed as
hate criminals. Several years ago, a Canadian angrily emailed his
Member of Parliament for permitting excessive immigration. The MP
filed hate crimes charges under ADL’s Canadian hate laws,
and the charges were upheld.
Since
the number of Americans now uttering "seditious" sentiments
is so large, ADL is clearly beginning to condition the public to
believe that sweeping legislative action and prosecution may be
necessary to preserve order.
Jewish Left Infiltrating Tea Party?
The
vulnerability of Tea Party members to such prosecution is heightened
by efforts of the organized Jewish left to damage the Tea Party,
possibly by infiltrating Tea Party meetings with "agent provocateurs."
In its article, "Foes
of Tea Party Movement to Infiltrate Rallies," Yahoo News
says,
"Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement
say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group
by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic,
and moronic. Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org
said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the
country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party
events for April 15 th--tax filing day, when tea party groups
across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes…Levin
says they want to exaggerate the group's least appealing qualities,
further distance the tea party from mainstream America and damage
the public's opinion of them."
This
could well include yelling racist, anti-Semitic, or homophobic slurs.
What
will keep possible Jewish provocateurs, shouting slurs, from themselves
being indicted under possible hate law enforcement? Simple. Attorney-General
Eric Holder made perfectly clear last spring in the hate bill's
Senate Judiciary hearing that Jews are protected from indictment
under the hate law. Meanwhile, indicted whites, Christians, and
conservatives face at least triple penalties. If a Jewish provocateur
did shout the "N" word and were arrested, it is unlikely
a local governing body would prosecute him as a hate criminal. But
if a white Christian Tea party member did so, he could face possible
years of imprisonment under ADL’s state and federal hate laws.
(See, NPN video 'Holder Admits:
No Equality Under Hate Bill' at Truthtellers.org)
Time for Wisdom, Not Violence
If
the militia, Tea Party, and far right activists can retain self-control
for the next six months, both US Senate and House can be restructured
at midterms in November. This could revive hopes and confidence
in legislative reform via public input and ballot, not bullet! But
if right wing bigotry and violence erupt, it will delight the circling
wolves of liberals and Jewish media, who will go in for the kill.
Already, Jewish-dominated NBC is preparing a primetime special against
the “Christian” Hutaree and militia. As master myth
makers, Jewish media will create new mythologies surrounding the
right in America. They will rival those already enshrined in history
books against Nazism and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. (See, Jews
Confirm Big Media is Jewish)
If
the right cannot control itself, it may end all hopes of national
restoration. In 1989 the Chinese people rose in patriotic wrath
and idealism, marching on Beijing to "throw the bums out."
But they were repulsed by tanks and machine guns in Tiananmen Square.
Today, all hopes of freedom in China are extinguished. The Chinese
now content themselves with materialism. Anyone who militates against
the government is considered worse than a madman. If the present
populist revolt fails, America will probably plunge into the same
fatalistic hopelessness.
Is
there hope? Yes, if the Right doesn’t destroy itself.

Note
For
those new to the hate bill controversy that is the topic of most
of Rev. Pike's work, please link to the following articles:
Alert
to Congress Regarding Hate Bills and the False Flag Attack Threat
by America First Books publisher William B. Fox. Two-thirds
down the web page please find the essay "The
Hate Crime Law Concept: It is all very sinister for at least nine
major reasons."
Also,
earlier on this same page I comment:
Although
Rev Ted Pike is completely independent from Captain May and myself
in terms of his political and religious views, the threats we
address all stem from the same corrupt power elite. I mention
in my concluding remarks below that this elite “would mobilize
us into domestic tyranny and foreign wars, while distracting us
from economic depression and the groups that brought it about.”
This
is the real problem, not the lack of more “hate crime”
laws. If anything, we need even more freedom of speech to speak
truth to power, sort out our problems, and develop peaceful strategies
to handle high level malefactors. This is why we urgently need
for members of Congress to not only take a principled stand and
stop all hate crime legislative initiatives, but to also roll
back all the existing hate crime laws currently on the books.
Hate
crime laws actually pose a major national security threat. They
condition Americans to feel that certain types of thought are inherently
immoral or illegal, even if they do not result in any form of violence
or infringement on the rights of others.
In
our articles related to false flag attacks, Capt.
Eric H. May and I have discussed strong evidence that Mossad-CIA
was behind 9-11, the mere "thought" of which would some
day be outlawed once hate crime oversight bureaucracies become firmly
implanted in America. We can expect government hate crime overwatch
entities to experience the usual cancerous growth and abuse of power
that libertarian writer and Presidential candidate Harry Browne
described in his classic book Why
Government Doesn't Work.
