ADL CAN'T DESTROY
MEARSHEIMER AND WALT
By Rev. Ted Pike
The
Israel Lobby and U.S.
Foreign Policy, by
professors John Mearsheimer
and Stephen Walt, plows like
a bulldozer through the
underbrush of Zionist
propaganda. Their book paves
a road for others to seek
and spread the whole truth
about America�s Mideast
commitments and the real
reason we went to war in
Iraq.
The
Anti-Defamation League's Abe
Foxman leads Jewish
opposition to the
professors' work. The
release of Foxman's new
book,
The Deadliest Lies: The
Israel Lobby and the Myth of
Jewish Control, was
timed to coincide with the
Israel Lobby's
release.
But like a
Palestinian throwing stones
at an Israeli tank, Foxman
is out-muscled by
Mearsheimer and Walt's
powerfully reasoned,
massively documented, and
surprisingly easy-to-read
work. The two authors are
academic elites. Mearsheimer
is a distinguished professor
of political science at the
University of Chicago, and
Walt is the former dean of
the John F. Kennedy School
of Government at Harvard.
They challenge the
presumptions of the fourth
military superpower in the
world, Israel, and its "amen
chorus" in Congress.
Unfortunately,
Mearsheimer and Walt
discount as "anti-Semitic"
the truth that Jews dominate
American media, contributing
to Zionist influence on US
foreign policy. (See,
Jews Confirm Big Media Is
Jewish) They also reject
the reality that much of
Israel's abominable behavior
toward Palestinians is
fueled by Talmudic racism.
(See,
The Talmud: Scalpel that
Bleeds the Mideast)
They rightly
contend, however, that U.S.
support of Israel's
brutality against
Palestinians is the seminal
cause of Arab rage and
international Muslim
terrorism, including 9/11
(pp. 64-70). They affirm
that Israel serves no vital
U.S. strategic interest.
Instead, the Israel lobby
and neoconservatives (many
of them Jewish) in the Bush
administration have led
America into mid-East
disaster, primarily for the
benefit of the Jewish state.
Foxman and the
Zionist establishment can't
destroy this book because
the world is too suspicious
of the Israel lobby's
excessive power. The
American people, especially,
now deeply vested in the
Middle East, want more
searching explanations of
how we have gone so wrong.
They are finding answers in
this book.
Taking the Offensive
against ADL
There�s another
reason Foxman will be less
successful in neutralizing
this attack than at any
other time in ADL's 94-year
history: Its power and moral
authority, as well as
Israel�s, have been
weakened. Polls reveal
heightening worldwide
criticism, not only of
Israel, but of
disproportionate Jewish
control of the media and US
war-making potential.
According to ADL statistics,
in Europe, roughly 1 out of
2 persons is to some degree
critical of Jewish control.
The National
Prayer Network, joined by an
increasing number of
critics, has played a
significant part in
undermining ADL's
credibility with millions of
Americans. In 2001, our
80-minute video, Hate
Laws: Making Criminals of
Christians, brought to
video reality what The
Spotlight newspaper
(now American Free Press)
and Michael Collins Piper
have exposed since the late
1980s: ADL's massive spying
on Christian/conservative
Americans and Muslims.
ADL has amassed
vast, secret, illegal lists
of the names and personal
information of those they
consider a threat to their
left-wing agenda. Our film
also documents how ADL/B'nai
B'rith has taken away free
speech, especially in
Canada, and wants to do the
same through state and
federal 'anti-hate' laws in
America.
With many
thousands sold by NPN and
with public access TV
airings across America,
viewings on Alex Jones'
website (www.prisonplanet.com)
and
video.google.com, at
least 100,000 people have
watched this video.
Considering how few people
even recognize the ADL/hate
laws threat, this is an
impressive number of
informed Americans. Many now
realize that ADL/B'nai
B'rith is unrivalled as the
greatest global threat to
free speech and
Christian/conservative
values.
In 2004, ADL's
national executive board
member Philadelphia DA Lynne
Abraham had 11 Christians
arrested and jailed for the
�hate crime� of witnessing
to homosexuals. (See,
Philadelphia pursues "Hate
Crimes" Charges Against
Christians) I
seized this rare opportunity
to prove to millions of
listeners, on more than 300
national radio and TV
interviews, that ADL and its
parent organization B'nai
B'rith International are
virulently anti-Christian.
ADL is determined to
persecute and destroy
Christianity through
'anti-hate' and workplace
"bias crime" legislation.
Just this week on
13 national radio interviews
and
www.rense.com, I warned
well over a half million
Americans against ADL's two
federal hate crimes bills
now before Congress. I did
not neglect to explain ADL's
role in creating this
Orwellian legislation.1
The cumulative effect of
such educational outreach by
NPN has been to weaken ADL's
image and credibility in the
eyes of not only the
American public but the
world.
Because of huge
public sympathy with the
embattled Philadelphia
Christians, it became
possible for me to speak out
against ADL to unprecedented
numbers. Interviewed by such
influential alternative talk
radio hosts as John
Stadtmiller, Daryl Bradford
Smith, Rick Adams, Jack
McLamb, and, later, Jeff
Rense, we brought unheard-of
candor to discussion of the
previously unmentionable,
darker side of Judaism. As a
result of ADL's blunder in
Philadelphia, the Genesis
and Republic networks are
now providing unrestrained
free speech opportunities
for many emerging first rate
talk show hosts. At least a
dozen will put me on at a
moment�s notice to warn
against Zionism, Talmudism
and ADL influence behind
hate laws.
And not a moment
too soon. If ADL enjoyed the
level of confidence from the
public and evangelical
Christians that existed
before the Philly 11
outrage, there is an
excellent chance ADL,
working in concert with the
Jewish-dominated media,
could have made presentation
of the Mearsheimer-Walt
thesis impossible. As has
been the case for the last
75 years, no major publisher
would have touched it; and
even if they had, the same
media powers of smear and
intimidation that destroyed
Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the
John Birch Society, Barry
Goldwater and George Wallace
would have silenced these
authors.
Yes the world is
angry at Israel�s
mistreatment of Palestinians
as never before. Yet the
phenomena of Mearsheimer and
Walt did not spring
full-flower from academia in
response to popular demand.
A market for this truth was
only made possible by years
of anti-Zionist education by
groups such as American
Free Press, alternative
talk radio and other
anti-Zionist,
Christian-conservative
activists, including the
National Prayer Network. We
have all played a vital role
(some for decades) in
preparing the grassroots
level so that the Ivy League
level and its large
publishers can find a
fertile base of economic
support.
A restrained ADL
means Americans can begin to
think for themselves about
Israel and the Middle East.
Also, since many
evangelicals and their
leaders are waking to the
fact that ADL promotion of
hate laws worldwide is
intended to persecute
Christians, they are even
less inclined to view ADL
propaganda with sympathy.
Time of Enormous
Opportunity
I recount how NPN
and others helped erode ADL
power to make a vital point.
When we speak the whole
truth, as God commanded the
prophet Jeremiah, not
sparing a word, it paves a
road on which other bearers
of the truth may travel. How
sad it would be today if,
three years ago, I had
heeded the well-intentioned
advice of a veteran
Christian/conservative talk
show host to never mention
ADL. He told me I would be
destroyed at the outset of
my campaign to defeat hate
laws. If ADL did not
crucify me, pro-Zionist
Christians and conservatives
would dismiss me as
'anti-Semitic.' America
might come under control of
hate laws, he suggested,
because I insisted on
speaking the whole truth!
Better, he said, to tell
half the truth, create a
large non-controversial
movement, and thus save
freedom.
Exactly the
opposite happened. I spoke
the whole truth about ADL in
virtually every interview.
ADL still remains silent
about my ministry. The
nation and many Christians
listened, unable to refute
my documentation. Now men of
academic prowess and
respectability are freer to
speak some of the most vital
and redeeming truths our
nation can hear.
God is truth, and
His Holy Spirit has been
given to believers to lead
us into all truth. For this
reason, God has a special
interest in protecting and
vindicating those who speak
truth in its entirety,
fearing Him rather than man.
If our grassroots
efforts can seriously
tarnish ADL, what could be
done by national
Christian/conservative
organizations, who influence
tens of millions? Because
Jewish activists are losing
their greatest advantage-
their power to smear
opponents as anti-Semitic-
there has never been a
better time to criticize,
and thus destroy ADL- this
monstrous fountain of
anti-Christianity and
freedom-stealing
legislation!
For the first
time in the last century,
some Jewish leaders
caution the Jewish community
not to use the term
'anti-Semitic' to destroy
those who criticize Israel.
The
Jewish Week
2 quotes the
Jewish Council for Public
Affairs concerning
Mearsheimer and Walt:
"Whether they are or aren't
anti-Semitic, tactically
it's probably not a good
idea to use the label
because they just turn it
around and say, 'We told you
so, you can't criticize
Israel without being labeled
anti-Semitic.' [Martin]
Raffel said, 'Instead, we
are urging people to counter
their arguments on the
merits, calmly and
rationally.'"
Although ADL
continues to discredit
Mearsheimer and Walt as
anti-Semitic, their use of
the term has also become
much more restrained-
perhaps because they
recently had to pay $14
million to a Colorado
filmmaker they falsely
labeled anti-Semitic! Never
have critics of ADL had less
to fear. Increasingly, ADL
has to deal with criticism
of Israel on the level
playing of factual,
intellectual exchange. This
is an enormous loss and a
challenge they have never
had.
God has given us
an extraordinary
opportunity. Not only
Christian watchdog groups,
but everyone must seize this
chance to speak out and end
the influence of ADL. If we
don't, ADL will destroy
Christian influence and the
freedoms it has given to the
nations.
ADL has sworn
that if its hate bill is
defeated in Congress, it
will repeatedly reintroduce
it until America becomes a
hate crimes bureaucracy like
Canada, ending free speech.
How long do freedom-loving
Americans have to endure
such evil?
Destroy ADL -- Or Be
Destroyed!
In the book of
Judges, Gideon, with his
divinely aided, tiny force,
routed Israel's Midianite
oppressors, but God required
the whole nation to join the
chase, driving them from the
land. Some chose a 'wait and
see' policy, and God cursed
and punished them.
Truly, to
paraphrase Shakespeare, this
is a crest in the tide of
human affairs of which we
must take greatest
advantage. Conservative
organizations must
characterize ADL, as they
have ACLU for decades, as an
enemy of Christianity and
freedom. In order to save
Christian civilization, 70
million evangelical
Christians must know ADL is
their enemy and hold it in
contempt. If a liar is
exposed and shamed, he no
longer is able to deceive;
his influence is destroyed.
ADL's
site gives evangelicals
clear evidence that ADL is
behind hate laws. My video
Hate Laws: Making
Criminals of Christians
shows how ADL took away
freedom in Canada and wants
to do the same in America.
(Watch:
Hate Laws: Making
Criminals of Christians)
Christian/conservative
organizations could make no
greater contribution to
freedom and the end of
anti-Christian activism and
legislation than by
destroying ADL by a chorus
of disapproval right now.
Christ said,
'Work while it is yet day,
for the night cometh when no
man can work.' (John 9:4)
With encroachment of hate
crimes laws worldwide, and
ADL/B'nai B'rith's
threatened end of internet
freedom, we do not know how
long we will be able to
speak the whole truth. (See,
Global Hate Crimes Gestapo
Being Created)
From the highest place each
of us can find - church,
pulpit, talk radio, and
Internet, etc., we must
speak the truth--all of
it--today!
Endnote:
1. Last week on Pat
Kiley's "Follow the Money"
radio program, (130
affiliates) I was given the
microphone to explain to an
estimated 600,000 listeners
how ADL/B'nai B'rith have
originated "hate" and
workplace "bias"
legislation, including
Kennedy's Federal Hate
Crimes Bill S.A. 2067 and "ENDA",
"the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act" H.R.
2015. Jeff Rense also
posted my article "Hate
Bills Top Democrat Agenda"
at Rense.com (500,000 visits
daily) in which I also blame
ADL with such freedom
stealing legislation. (Rense
