AMERICA'S BIGGEST THREAT
By Harmony Grant
12 Jul 07
“Our greatest foes, and those we must chiefly combat, are
within,” says Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. Keep that
in mind as the continued drumbeats of the “War on Terror” urge
fear of militant Islam. Yes, Muslim extremists threaten violence
to American lives. But far more dangerous are those who destroy from
within the legal and moral foundation of our nation. They terrorize
with words not weapons, with influence not explosions.
A
European Police Office report on
2006 terrorist attacks in 11 European nations recorded 498 incidents
with only two deaths. Just one of the attacks was carried out by
Muslims, and no one died. 1 Muslim terrorism does threaten the United
States . In 2006, Muslims were behind at least a dozen terrorist
attacks worldwide. But while Islamic terrorists are painted as the
greatest global threat to western civilization, a hidden group of
extremists pose a far greater danger. They truly hate the Christian
American way but the threat they pose cannot be spoken. “Islamofascism” is
routinely discussed by all media; even Christian political ambitions
are attacked by leftist opinionmakers. But the influence and ambitions
of one still more powerful ethnic/religious group are not even mentioned.
I
am speaking of organized world Jewry, a politically powerful and
aggressive minority of Jews worldwide. Today, even discussing Jewish
power is called “anti-Semitic.” But extraordinary Jewish
writer Philip Weiss dares to tell the truth: “Anyone who seeks
to describe the sociology of American leadership and can't talk about
this is being intellectually dishonest. It's like talking about the
history of football without talking about blacks.” (MondoWeiss,
2006)
Few
dare identify the impact of Jewish influence in our society. If such
power can’t even be acknowledged, we certainly can’t
discuss the shape it takes or the Talmudic racism and anti-Christianity
that characterize it. In deafening silence, Jewish/Zionist activists—established
in the powerful Anti-Defamation League, organs of the Israel lobby
and media elite—have done more than any Muslim to unsettle
the foundation of American liberty and values.
Islam: Phobia and Fact
The
turn of the last century found Mideast Muslims largely at peace with
Christianity and the western powers. Arabs admired America , France
and Britain and raged mostly against their fellow Muslims, the oppressive
Ottoman Turks. During WW1, the western powers promised freedom and
national autonomies to the Arab tribes in exchange for help in defeating
the Turks. Their reward was to include an independent state for Arabs
in Palestine , who had lived at peace with Palestinian Christians
and Jews for centuries.
But
in the first decade of the 20th century, Zionists moved in. Britain
broke its promise to the Arabs, stole most of Palestine from the
farmers and merchants who had lived there for more than 700 years
and gave it to European Jews. The new state of Israel seized roughly
90 percent of Arab property in 1948. By terrorism, bloodshed, and
threat of massacre, Zionists expelled hundreds of thousands of Arabs,
including many Christians. These Palestinians were exiled into virtual
concentration camps where hundreds of thousands still wretchedly
survive today.
From
this massive injustice, modern
Islamic terrorism was born. It was created by a century of Israeli
abuse and is today stoked by Israel ’s continued oppression
in Gaza and the occupied territories.
Is
Islamofascism a major threat in the world today? Yes. But a greater
threat comes from its primary cause: Judeofascism. Zionism provoked
the backlash of Arab terrorism, and the Zionist neoconservatives’ proposed
solution (a global “war on terror”) has been as helpful
as fire hoses filled with gasoline. 2
“Al
Qaeda is a more dangerous enemy today than it has ever been before,” reports Foreign
Affairs in the May/June 2007 issue. “It has suffered some
setbacks since September 11, 2001 …But thanks largely to Washington
's eagerness to go into Iraq rather than concentrate on hunting down
al Qaeda's leaders, the organization now has a solid base of operations
in the badlands of Pakistan and an effective franchise in western
Iraq .” () Meanwhile, the war solidified Israeli control in
the region by shattering Iraq and confirming America ’s lapdog
support of the Jewish state. To the extent that Muslim terrorism
is a substantive threat to US security, it has only been increased
by the neocons’ overreaching and ideologically driven military
adventures in the Mideast . Americans’ repudiation of the Bush
administration at midterm elections reveals our frustration.
Fighting Abroad, Losing at Home
As
FOX News and others still headline the danger of militant Islam,
our land is already in the grip of a foreign power. History shows
an inarguable but silenced record of Jewish ethnic activism for the
state of Israel (embodied by AIPAC) undermining US interests in the
legislative halls of Washington . We are embroiled in a Mideast war
with no end in sight, for the sake of Israel. 3 It is a war premised
on lies, a war in which the Patriot and
Homeland Security Acts have hammered at our civil liberties; executive
power has been unconstitutionally expanded. A recent bill declared
Bush a dictator in case of emergency. It is a war in which our
foreign policy has grown even more interventionist, to the point
that many patriotic Americans falsely believe it’s the American
way to impose “democracy” on sovereign states. We jeopardize
our own security and shave away at our civil liberties for the dubious “freedom” of
those who did not request our help. 4
Given
this record, I’m more concerned about the dangers in Washington
than the dangers in Tehran . Yes, some Muslim extremists long for
American blood. But Jewish activists within the halls of Congress
already quietly bleed our nation’s life strength into the sands
of the Mideast and onto the hard deathbed of a progressive new world
order.
Danger That Cannot Be Named
The
drive to this future nightmare can be accurately described as “Judeofascist.” It
is spearheaded by an elite minority of militant, politically progressive
Jewish activists and supported by another minority of Gentiles. It
is promoted by dozens of organizations forming the Zionist lobby
and by Jewish advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League, whose
anti-freedom legislation poses an enormous threat to the very foundation
of the United States .
This
threat is more dangerous than Muslim terrorism because it is already
on our shores, within our legislative chambers—and because
discussion of it is taboo. Incisive criticism of domestic Jewish
activism is kept to the fringe. Those who dare speak the barest truth
about Israeli racism or the treachery of the US Israel lobby are
pilloried with the label “anti-Semite.”
If
you doubt US support of the Jewish state, check out the ’08
race and learn who owns America ’s Mideast foreign policy.
When it comes to Israel , the only difference between red and blue
candidates is who can place the limits of their support for the Jewish
state farthest out into the galaxy. Given that the USA is the world’s
greatest superpower, there is little reason to hope Israel will be
held back from further inflaming the Arab world.
Israel
is not our certain ally (see “The
Israel Lobby”). While conservatives and Christians speak
shrilly about Islamofascists, Israel bristles
with nukes, spies on us, continues to perpetrate massive injustice
against Palestinians and Arab neighbors, and pursues interests we
manifestly do not (should not) share, like expanding “greater
Israel” to the entire Promised Land including Jordan, Iraq
and Syria. Evangelicals especially should be leery of supporting
a political system that denies
believing Israelis or tourists the freedom to fulfill a basic
Christian obligation, evangelism!
Jewish
activists also disinform and corrupt America through their domination
of TV, film, and print media. Such control is undeniable; it
is only the saying of it that is controversial. Philip Weiss, who
was raised in “a very close-knit scientific family that had
a sense of Jewish superiority,” broke away from the New
York Observer to establish his own blog, MondoWeiss, after the Observer’s
practicing Jewish, Zionist owners censored his increasingly anti-Zionist
views. Weiss
recounts a conversation with his Observer editor about the unchallenged
dominance of pro-Israel Jewish journalists and the void of mainstream
dissent. He told his editor, “I don’t think America is
dangerous for Jews, and I’m critical of Israel . And there’s
no room for me here. There’s no room.”
Weiss
is a dissenter who writes openly about Zionism’s inherent demand
for dual loyalty from Jews living outside Israel . He believes Jewish “journalists
[demonstrate] bad faith in our democracy when they decline to talk
about real issues surrounding the power structure—say the Israel
lobby or the predominance of Jewish money in Democratic Party giving—out
of fear that their group would suffer.”
Even
if journalists share Weiss’ love of America and criticism of
Israel and knee-jerk Zionism, Jewish owners of big media stifle their
dissent.
ADL: Granddaddy of Hate
In
Washington , chillingly Stalinist legislation is regularly introduced
by Jewish American politicians who champion an anti-freedom definition
of church/state separation and laws like the horrifying federal “anti-hate” bill.
(See the video Hate
Laws: Making Criminals of Christians) Such legislation enjoys
increased chance of passage due to the high percentage of Democrat
and Jewish
politicians in our government. These Stalinist laws include,
foremost, “hate crime” laws which should better be called thought
crime laws.
Jewish
ethnic/religious activists in the USA take their lead
from the Anti-Defamation League, the hate organization responsible
for “anti-hate” laws that make it dangerous (and sometimes
criminal) to express Christian moral truth in Canada , Australia
, and most of Europe . ADL is also entirely responsible for convincing
45 American states to pass hate laws. As a portent of the nation’s
future, California recently passed
a law making it illegal in the public schools for anyone to say
anything that might disparage homosexuality or warn children about
its risks and consequences. Along with other Jewish progressive groups,
ADL tars Christian judgment of homosexuality as a pathology. Their
hate laws will make it a crime to express such “bias.” Under
present Canadian hate laws, pastors and broadcasters are barred from
speaking some of the simplest truths about Christian sexual morality.
The
ADL and other Jewish advocacy groups preach that Christians have
another pathology, too: anti-Semitism, from our “hateful” New
Testament. It was the World Jewish Congress which “was instrumental
in the issuance of the Vatican’s 1965 “Nostra Aetate” declaration,” recanting
the Bible’s historical record that Jewish leaders were responsible
for Jesus’ death and that the Jewish crowd called down His
blood guilt on themselves and their children. ADL
today describes those who accept the gospels’ straightforward
account of Jesus’ death as “virulently anti-Semitic.” Hate
crime laws are a legal weapon to silence these beliefs in public,
persecuting Christians. They kill free speech. If the freedom of
one group is denied, the freedom of the rest is lost as well.
If
free speech dies, America dies. We are the last western democracy
without a federal speech law hobbling the pursuit of truth. ADL/B'nai
B'rith seeks to ultimately unite the whole world under a global "anti-hate" bureaucracy.
A present example is its 56-member-state hate crimes Gestapo in Europe
called the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
The OSCE recently held their latest "Conference
on Combating Discrimination and Promoting Mutual Respect and Understanding" in
Bucharest . International attendees focused on hate crimes and especially
anti-Semitism. They heard
from Elie Wiesel in a video message: "Anti-Semitism is the
oldest form of hatred in history and is the only one of the serious
illnesses of the 20th century which has survived and is still around,
with communism and Nazism mostly gone now." Anti-Semitism
is the ONLY serious illness of the 20th century to still plague us?
Where is this man living? He’s living in a world where this
kind of statement is credible because the WW2 Jewish holocaust is
upheld as a unique incomparable tragedy—the only holocaust
so sacred that its revisionist historians are thrown into prison.
Critical thought about Israel and Jewish activism is suppressed by
the emotional bludgeon of the holocaust industry and by the very
real social and economic costs of being called an “anti-Semite.” This
form of “racial hatred” is currently cast as the most
horrendous social sin a person can commit.
The
US ambassador to the OSCE, Julie Finley, clearly agreed with Wiesel;
she went so far as to issue an “imperative call” to members: “Let’s
focus only on anti-Semitism. The others will take care of themselves.” Members
of the conference agreed that criticism of Israel is most often anti-Semitic
and that European
leaders should figure out how to improve Israel ’s reputation.
This PR campaign will not include ending the Israeli oppression and
mistreatment that fuels Arab resentment, balancing America ’s
biased foreign policy, or examining honestly the ambitions of activist
Jews in American government. Controversial Jewish
writer Tony Judt explains, “All Jews are silenced by the
requirement to be supportive of Israel , and all non-Jews are silenced
by the fear of being thought anti-Semitic, and there is no conversation
on the subject.”
What
is more likely? That Muslim radicals will terrorize American women
into burkas or that Jewish ethnic/religious activists will succeed
in passing “hate
crime” and other anti-freedom laws, goad us into invading
Iran 5, and continue to drug our nation with disinformation about
everything from America’s Christian heritage and proper foreign
policy to the fruits of homosexuality and abortion? This question
is not hard to answer. Only one in four Americans can name even one of the five rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Our chances
of standing together against Arabs are far better than our chances
of even recognizing the major legislative attacks on our freedom,
or why they matter.
The
subversive power of Jewish ethnic/religious activism is a fact that
cannot be spoken. That makes it far more dangerous than the threat
of militant Islam trumpeted from cable news every night. The horrible
charge of “anti-Semitism” prevents most from even considering
these questions or perceiving the reality of the danger to our republic.
We fear, “It may be anti-Semitic,” and so fail to ever
ask, “Is it true?” And while we shrink from truth, mesmerized
by the bluster of an enemy across the sea, protected Judaic elites
destroy us at home.
Endnotes:
1 Supporters of the Bush administration say the lack of Islamic
terrorism is a direct result of administration policy. That’s
good propaganda. But in 2006, John Judis of the New Republic summarized reality: “George
W. Bush['s]…strategy toward Israel has seen the escalation
of the second intifada…the eclipse of Arafat's Fatah by the
more radical Hamas, and now a two-front war in Gaza and southern
Lebanon that is unlikely to achieve the results that the United States
and Israel have hoped for… Bush's "new Middle East " has
begun to look even less hospitable than the old.”
2 NeoConned Again: Hypocrisy, Lawlessness
and the Rape of Iraq (Light in the Darkness Publications, 2007) includes an excellent
interview (Chapt. 19, “The ‘War on Terror’: Ingenious
or Incoherent?”) with Prof. Jeffrey Record, “a respected
professional in the US military academic community” who received
a doctorate from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced Int. Studies.
He analyzes the problem of conflating the Iraq conflict with the “war
on terror,” as well as the misdefinition of what is a “terrorist.” Record
points out that the whole concept of a “war on terror” is
misconceived. Among other problems with this propagandizing concept—how
do you fight a “method of violence?” In addition, the
administration’s treatment of “terrorism” ignores
the fact that this kind of violence is often the only recourse of
the politically and militarily helpless and disenfranchised. Record
says, “Condemning all terrorism as unconditionally evil strips
it of political context and ignores its inherent attraction to the
militarily helpless. This is not to condone terrorism; it is simply
to recognize that it can reflect rational policy choice.” (p318)
Besides, “Even if all terrorism is evil, most terrorist organizations
do not threaten the United States .” (p325)
3 Again, please see NeoConned Again:
Hypocrisy, Lawlessness and the Rape of Iraq (Light in the Darkness Publications, 2007), eds.
O’Huallachain and Sharpe. Its numerous contributors speak from
across the political spectrum with inarguable reasons why the Iraq
war was not in American interests. One essayist quotes Philip Zelikow’s
candid admission that the war was for Israel ’s sake. Zelikow
chaired the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board
and was then nominated to the Commission of Inquiry into 9/11. In
2002, Zelikow told a panel of foreign policy experts, “I’ll
tell you what I think the real threat is, and actually has been since
1990—it is the threat to Israel . And this is the threat that
dare not speak its name, because the Europeans do not care deeply
about that threat, I tell you frankly. And the American government
does not want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is
not a popular sell.”
In April 2007, Philip Weiss blogged on
a 1979 “neocon mission statement” from Norman Podhoretz: “There
was, to be sure, one thing that many of even the most passionately
committed American Zionists were reluctant to do, and that was to
face up to the fact that continued American support for Israel depended
upon continued American involvement in international affairs-- from
which it followed that an American withdrawal into the kind of isolationist
mood that prevailed most recently between the two world wars, and
that now looked as though it might soon prevail again, represented
a direct threat to the security of Israel.” (emphasis added)
4 Among other disastrous results, Amnesty International’s annual
report shows serious human rights abuses by Israel , whose
injustices have been further empowered by shattering Iraq , the
latest real threat to her regional supremacy. Grave abuses result
also from the “war on terror” and discriminatory “counter-terrorism” policies.
Another obvious result of this war, says Amnesty, is that Muslims
and non-Muslims have been driven even further apart by “anti-terrorism” policies
and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
"The politics of fear,” says Amnesty chief Irene Kahn, “is
fueling a downward spiral of human rights abuse in which no right
is sacrosanct and no person safe.”
This is not the America our forefathers—who warned against “foreign
entanglements” and the constant pressure tyranny
exerts against freedom—died to establish.
Yes, there are people who’d like to kill Americans. Some
present real threats. Some do not. This is why our military and police
exist and should be kept strong.
But who will protect us from insidious ideas, from broad suppression
of truth, from evil laws? Who will be the watchman on the walls peering
into our city? On 9/11, Americans proved our ability to rally against
violent assault. What we failed to demonstrate was the wisdom to
think clearly and critically, discern the best course of defense,
and avoid a jingoistic rush into a sweeping “war on terror” in
which we have lost troops, morale, money, and support for conservatism,
not to mention civil liberties and restraint on executive power.
