AFP ON PATRIOT PROFILING


Police
State Smear Merchants at Work Again
By Michael Collins Piper

. The
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B’nai B’rith
and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are
raising millions of dollars this year from gullible
Americans convinced by the two groups —
working hand-in-glove with like-minded elements
in the controlled media — that there is
some sort of impending armed revolution in the
making.
The
two groups have hounded newspaper reporters and
editors, funneled “intelligence” to
local, state and federal government agencies,
including the FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF and Homeland
Security, and are doing everything in their considerable
power to stir up public strife, charging that
loyal citizens who are devoted to preserving America’s
sovereignty and fighting to salvage what remnants
of the Constitution remain are actually “hatefilled
bigots who want to seize control of the government
by force” and disenfranchise — even
exterminate — perhaps millions of Americans.
Although
the ADL and the SPLC are perceived by many to
be “evil twins” there are notable
differences between the two: The ADL opposes racial
quotas — even while it denounces other Americans
who do likewise, calling them “racists”
and “white supremacists” — whereas
the SPLC is decidedly “liberal” in
the realm of race and remains careful to avoid
mentioning the fact that the ADL, for example,
shares the traditional Ku Klux Klan view on quotas.
The
ADL’s primary concern is promoting the interests
of Israel and the Jewish lobby in America. And
despite its reputation as a “civil rights”
group, what a lot of SPLC donors don’t know
is that former African-American SPLC employees
sued the group alleging on-the-job discrimination
against blacks.
All
of this adds up to an interesting witches brew,
inasmuch as the two groups have long been engaged
in a lively competition with one another, seeking
donations from essentially the same audience,
claiming to potential
donors that they — the ADL and the SPLC
— are at the forefront of fighting the looming
“danger” of a revolution by Americans
fed up with special interest politics-as-usual.
For
its part, the ADL recently took aim at AMERICAN
FREE PRESS
and The Power of Prophecy Ministries of
Texas evangelist Texe Marrs. The ADL was incensed
that AFP and Marrs convened a joint conference
in Austin, Texas. The ADL proclaimed this gathering
as “evidence of prominent anti-Semites attempting
to exploit growing interest in the United States
in anti-government conspiracy theories, and to
use this interest as a way to spread hatred against
Jews.”
Ironically
— despite its claim the conference was devoted
to Jew hatred — the ADL was forced to admit
that one of those who spoke at the conference
was Peymon Mottahedeh, a proud American of Jewish
heritage born in Iran. In its reckless fashion,
for which it is known, the ADL reported that Mottahedeh
echoed “right wing claims about the Federal
Reserve.”
In
fact, what Mottahedeh said echoed precisely what
two respected former liberal Democratic congressmen
— Wright Patman of Texas and Jerry Voorhis
of California (a self-described “Christian
Socialist”) — both said for years
about the Fed: that it was a privately owned money
monopoly dangerous to the interests of the nation;
that the Fed should be audited and brought into
line, absorbed (essentially nationalized) through
constitutional means, into the American economy,
bringing the power of the international bankers
(who dominate the Fed) to heel.
The
ADL skillfully mixes truth with clever linguistic
misrepresentation in order to smear innocent people.
For example, noting that AFP deputy editor Mark
Anderson gave a speech blaming the Federal Reserve
for “conquering our country” and being
“the central barrier to freedom,”
the ADL gratuitously added that “the Federal
Reserve is a frequent target for both anti-Semites
and anti-government extremists,” although
Anderson’s comments contained not one reference
that could be perceived to be anti-Semitic or
anti-government.
In
fact, Anderson — like other critics of the
Fed — believes that the federal government
could do some good by abolishing the Fed or otherwise
assuming management of this privately owned financial
monopoly’s manipulation of America’s
money system.
The
ADL claimed that “most of the vitriol directed
at Jews came from two prominent anti-Semites”
naming Marrs and yours truly as those miscreants
in question.
Claiming
that “Piper has a long history of promoting
anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,” the ADL
was distressed that my talk was entitled “Why
the Fight Against Jewish Zionist Power is the
Central Political Issue of Our Time” and
dared to reveal that the United Nations has been
sidelined by the New World Order forces surrounding
the Rothschild banking dynasty, which now use
their financial power to control the mass media
and thereby control America’s electoral
system for their own insidious purposes.
Marrs’s
offense—according to the ADL—was having
stated quite factually that there are many Zionist
Jews in positions of influence in the Obama administration
and for daring to demonstrate historical facts
that indicate that Zionist Judaism, the mercantile
banking system and the communist social system
are being used to dominate the world religiously,
politically and economically.
But
AFP and Power of Prophecy don’t stand alone
in the assault from the ADL, which has now begun
a smear-and-fear campaign of defamation against
the popular patriot rock band Poker Face, led
by Paul Topete, a long-time supporter of AFP.
Dredging
up the fact that the Hutaree survivalist group
of the Michigan area, now under fire from the
federal authorities, had featured a Poker Face
song on its own web site, the ADL blasted Topete
and used its influence in Topete’s local
community in southeastern Pennsylvania to arrange
for publication in at least two newspapers of
virtual reprints of the ADL smear.
What
makes the ADL’s attack on Topete so interesting
is that the ADL claims Topete is some sort of
racist who is “anti-immigrant.” In
fact, Topete’s father is a legal immigrant
from Mexico, a point that the ADL does not mention.
The
ADL implies that Topete and his group are somehow
condoning or even promoting violence, and it has
used its assault on Topete to extend the smears
to other patriots such as John Stadtmiller, founder
of the popular Republic Broadcasting Network on
Internet radio.
For
facts — not lies — about Topete, see
his web site at pokerface.com.
In
the meantime, the Southern Poverty Law Center
is making noises of its own about the “patriot”
movement and has distributed a list of some forty
law-abiding Americans that the SPLC says represent
the face of danger to America.
What
is particularly interesting is that the SPLC list
includes two hard-line advocates of the Zionist
agenda — Fox television celebrity Glenn
Beck and Joseph Farah, a pro-Israel propagandist
at World Net Daily who was once the recipient
of an “outstanding journalism” award
from the Zionist Organization of America —
on its list.
Some
have suggested this reflects an effort by the
SPLC to give “cover” to Beck and Farah
in order to preserve status for Beck and Farah
among American patriots. This is something the
SPLC has done in the past, actually naming some
of its own undercover agents as “villains”
for the benefit of public consumption. Others
suggest naming Beck and Farah simply reflects
the SPLC’s more blatantly “liberal”
agenda.
The
truth is, anything the ADL and SPLC say cannot
be believed. A danger, however, is that both groups
maintain deep and long-standing connections to
high-level forces and have long been intertwined
with elements of law enforcement in this country.
The
ADL is known to have played a part in crafting
the infamous “Patriot” Act and, like
the SPLC, has been responsible for causing good
people in law enforcement at all levels to be
suspicious of law-abiding patriots in America.
And that is not a good thing.
The
ADL and SPLC are part of a growing police-state
apparatus aimed at those in America who dare to
exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right
to freedom of speech, religion and assembly —
the foundation of our First Amendment that the
ADL and SPLC find so dangerous.
