Last week I mentioned a recent attack on me by a Jewish organization, the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. I gave this as an example of the way
the Jews are able to use the mass media in America to serve their purposes. The
specific point I made was that it is not necessary for all of the newspaper
owners and editors and all of the local television station owners to be Jews in
order for all of them to slavishly follow the Anti-Defamation League's party
line. This is a very important point, a point essential for us to understand if
we want to have a free society, and I'll elaborate on it now.
I mentioned last week that when the Anti-Defamation League -- or ADL for
short -- handed out press releases on September 24 to newspapers and other
media in which they said that the organization I head, the National Alliance,
is "the single most dangerous organized hate group in America," and
that we are "linked" to bank robberies, bombings, and murders all
over the country, virtually all of the media simply printed these wild charges
without checking them for accuracy. Of all the hundreds of newspapers which
printed the ADL's charges, only one -- West Virginia's Charleston Gazette --
even bothered to call me first and ask for my comments. Some of the newspapers,
in paraphrasing the ADL's press release, even managed to exaggerate the ADL's
lies. For example, the Tampa Tribune began its news story on September
25 with the line: "A domestic terrorist group with a following in Tampa
poses an ongoing threat of violence, the Anti-Defamation League said in a
report issued Thursday." The ADL's words "most dangerous organized
hate group" have been transformed by the Tampa Tribune into
"domestic terrorist group." That's a significant change. "Hate
group" is an ill-defined term which you can apply to any organization with
whose policies or doctrines you disagree. Groups opposed to abortion, for
example, have been called "hate groups" by feminists and their
supporters. "Terrorist group," on the other hand, really suggests a
group which actually engages in terrorist activity, such as bombings,
assassinations, and the like.
Then there's the Los Angeles Times, which in its September 25 story
based on the ADL's press release stated: "The group's activities [that is
the National Alliance's activities] -- including violent crimes such as
robberies and bombings -- have been uncovered in at least 26 states." I'll
repeat that: "the group's activities -- including violent crimes such as
robberies and bombings." The Los Angeles Times certainly makes it
sound as if I'm the head of an organization which actually commits violent
crimes such as robberies and bombings as a matter of course, doesn't it? That
was the Los Angeles Times' interpretation of the ADL's list of
"criminal incidents linked to the National Alliance and its
propaganda." What the ADL's list actually suggests is that the
perpetrators of various bombings and murders may be "linked" to the
National Alliance by having read a book or a pamphlet published by the National
Alliance or perhaps by having listened to one of my broadcasts. For example,
one of the "incidents" in the ADL's list of "criminal incidents
linked to the National Alliance" reads: "December 1995, Fayetteville,
North Carolina: Two soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg, who were avowed neo-Nazis
and reportedly read National Alliance propaganda, murdered an African-American
couple." As I pointed out last week, neither I nor anyone else in the National
Alliance had ever heard of James Burmeister before he shot a convicted Black
drug dealer and the dealer's girlfriend to death in Fayetteville in December
1995. But it certainly is possible that Burmeister listened to an American
Dissident Voices broadcast or read some publication of the National
Alliance. There are a lot of our publications in circulation. Burmeister also
may have read Reader's Digest or the Bible or Newsweek magazine,
for all I know; there's certainly a lot of criminal activity described in those
publications. Anyway, the Los Angeles Times' interpretation of the ADL's
claim that the National Alliance is linked through its publications to various
criminal acts is that we did it: we committed the criminal acts ourselves. The
paper said flatly that our activities include "violent crimes such as
robberies and bombings." And nobody from the Los Angeles Times even
bothered to check with me first!
So what am I supposed to do: hire a bunch of lawyers and sue all of these
newspapers and perhaps the ADL too? Perhaps I will -- but I doubt that anyone
who has actually been involved in a libel suit would suggest such a course. The
civil litigation system in the United States has been designed for the sole
purpose of enriching lawyers, and because of that the system gives an
overwhelming advantage to the litigant who has the most money to spend on
lawyers. Perhaps some experienced civil-litigation lawyer who believes this is
a worthy cause will contact me and offer his services.
But while I'm waiting for that, let me draw a few conclusions from this
nasty business. First, I'll mention that I'm not especially peeved at the ADL
about this new report labeling me as the most dangerous man in America. That
doesn't mean I won't sue them, but at least I know where they're coming from.
The ADL is a professional hate organization. They are hate merchants. That's
the way they earn their living: selling hate. Along with a handful of other
Jewish organizations -- the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Morris Dees's Southern
Poverty Law Center, for example -- the ADL makes its money by persuading Jews
and wannabee Jews around the country that they are in great danger from people
like me -- but if everyone will just send them a nice, fat check today, the ADL
will protect these Jews and wannabees from me. And so the ADL -- and these
other hate merchants -- put out deliberately scary press releases to drum up
donations. If the newspapers exaggerate things a bit, why so much the better.
That's why the press releases tend to be a little deceptive, why they are
written in a way calculated to lead to misinterpretation.
The ADL is the oldest and most powerful of these Jewish hate groups in the
United States. It was founded in 1913, after a Jewish factory owner in Atlanta,
Leo Frank, was convicted of raping and killing a 14-year-old White girl, Mary
Phagan, who worked in his factory. The killer was sentenced to death by the
court, and there was a great deal of publicity about the case at the time.
Powerful Jewish organizations came to Frank's defense, and in behind-the-scenes
maneuvering they were able to persuade Georgia's governor to commute Frank's
death sentence. This blatantly corrupt act by the governor working in cahoots
with his rich Jewish supporters so enraged the populace that a vigilante group
of citizens took Frank out of jail and hanged him themselves. The Jews,
realizing that they had bungled the Frank affair, organized the ADL for the
purpose of handling such matters more skillfully in the future. In the past 85
years the ADL has grown to become the most powerful Jewish pressure group and
lobbying organization in America.
Recent ADL lobbying projects have been the promotion of gun control laws
and of state laws banning military-style training by patriotic groups. The
ADL's biggest project for this decade, however, has been so-called "hate
crime" legislation. Hate crime laws attempt to punish a person for what he
was thinking before or during the commission of an offense against a member or
a group of members of an officially favored minority. For example, if you set
fire to a synagogue because you don't like Jews, you're liable for a much more
severe punishment than you would be if you were hired by the rabbi to set fire
to a synagogue so the congregation could collect the insurance. Arson is no
longer simply arson. Now there's arson, and there's "hate arson." And
to decide which it is, the government may look into your personal taste in
reading material, check into the type of music you listen to, investigate your
political and religious affiliations, ask your friends about any expressions of
Politically Incorrect opinions you may have made -- and then present all of
this information in court as evidence against you. The whole concept of
"hate crime" is Orwellian. It turns traditional American concepts of
law and individual freedom on their heads. But because the noisiest group of
people pushing for "hate crime" legislation are Jews, no politician
dares speak against it. Bill Clinton is the Jews' current point man on Federal
"hate crime" legislation.
One category of "hate crime" is "hate speech." In fact,
the outlawing of what the ADL people call "hate speech" is their
ultimate aim. "Hate speech," of course, is whatever they find
offensive or dangerous to their interests. I find a lot of the films coming out
of Hollywood these days offensive, and a lot of television programming, but you
can be sure that's not what the ADL has in mind when it campaigns for laws
against "hate speech." The ADL is especially concerned about the
propagation of what they consider dangerous ideas over the Internet and has
been working with software developers to develop censorship programs which can
be installed on any computer, so that computer users cannot find any
Politically Incorrect material on the Internet.
Lobbying to stamp out the Bill of Rights isn't the ADL's only activity.
They're also the largest and most effective private espionage organization in
America. They have their spies in every community in America where there are
Jews or wannabees. Reports go from their regional offices around the country to
massive data banks in New York and in Israel, where the ADL maintains dossiers
on hundreds of thousands of Americans. For example, if a state legislator
somewhere in America makes a speech which a Jewish listener considers
unfriendly to Israel, a report goes into the ADL data bank. If a businessman at
a Chamber of Commerce meeting makes a joke which might indicate a
less-than-worshipful attitude toward Jews, and a wannabee informs the ADL of
the joke, that businessman will henceforth have a dossier in the ADL's files.
Then if that state legislator or that businessman ever runs for Congress, say,
the ADL will search its files for his name, find his record, and launch a
campaign against him as an "enemy of Israel" or as an
"anti-Semite."
And the ADL has not hesitated to break the law in its spying activity. In
April 1993 police obtained search warrants and raided the offices of the ADL in
San Francisco and Los Angeles, where they found hundreds of stolen confidential
police files. Some of these police files were on anti-apartheid activists in
the United States, and the ADL had passed copies on to the South African
government in return for South African police files on pro-Palestinian groups
in South Africa. This caused a stink even in liberal circles, which ordinarily
are pro-ADL. And this business of the ADL's stolen police files is still in the
courts in California.
So as I said, I understand where the ADL is coming from. I'm not surprised
that they consider my broadcasts dangerous. I'm not surprised that they want to
shut me up and are trying to do that with their current smear campaign,
claiming that I am "linked" to bombings and murders. I expect that
sort of behavior -- I expect lies of that sort -- from the ADL. What's really
disappointing is the enthusiastic collaboration the ADL receives from the
politicians and the media. The two newspapers I cited a minute ago, the Tampa
Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, for example, are essentially
Gentile newspapers, as far as I have been able to determine. I may be mistaken,
but I believe that the editors and publishers of these two newspapers are not
Jews. So why do they go out of their way to exaggerate the ADL's lies about me?
Why does the Tampa Tribune call the National Alliance a "domestic
terrorist group"? Why does the Los Angeles Times say that the
activities of the National Alliance include "violent crimes such as
robberies and bombings"? Why did neither of these newspapers contact
someone in my office and ask about the ADL's claims before printing them? Why
didn't any of the newspapers which carried the ADL's attack on me mention the
ADL's history of illegal activity?
Let me tell you what I think about that. I believe that in general there
are two factors at work here. I'll call them the corruption factor and the
lemming factor. Let's look at the corruption factor first. It's the factor
which motivates virtually all of the non-Jewish politicians, but also many
non-Jews in the media. It's the factor which has led Bill Clinton to pack his
cabinet with Jews and to promote every Jewish policy they have presented him
with. It's the factor which has led New York's Senator Alphonse D'Amato to
serve as front man for the Jews' huge extortion effort against the Swiss. These
politicians don't work for the Jews because they love Jews. Nobody loves Jews.
They do it because they're corrupt, because they're willing to sacrifice the
interests of their own people in order to serve the Jews if they believe that
they can advance their careers by doing that. And many businessmen are just as
corrupt as the politicians. They will do whatever they think is good for their
business, whatever will give them the biggest profit. And some businessmen are
in the media business. They understand that Jews buy more advertising than any
other group. They understand that Jews own a bigger chunk of the media than any
other group. They understand which side their bread is buttered on.
And so when the ADL attacks me these media businessmen are ready to fall on
me like a pack of starved Dobermans in order to curry favor with the Jews. But
you know, the interesting thing about these corrupt people, whether they're in
politics or in the media business, as soon as they believe that the balance of
power is shifting, they'll jump. They'd as soon tear apart the Jews as they
would the enemies of the Jews. That's something to keep in mind as our struggle
proceeds.
Now, the lemmings in the media are more interesting than the corrupt businessmen.
I've dealt with a lot of media people over the years, and one of the
observations I've made is that they are the trendiest single occupational group
in our society -- even trendier than people in police work. I don't think I've
ever met a journalist who had an original idea or who didn't follow the Jewish
party line with a truly religious devotion. They all march in ideological
lockstep.
I think it wasn't always this way. Back before the Second World War there
were a few journalists in America who could think for themselves. H.L. Mencken
is one who comes to mind. Nowadays, of course, the party-line journalists
shrink in horror and embarrassment from the mention of Mencken's name. Mencken
-- gasp! -- didn't like Jews and occasionally said so.
I can't say that I really understand why journalists today are such
lemmings, but I am sure that it's more than the fact that Jews are so powerful
in the media: I'm sure that it's more than corruption, as in the case of the
politicians and businessmen. I suspect that today's journalists are people who
have been more intensely socialized than most of the rest of the population.
They are people who have been subjected to stronger group pressures to conform
and have been selected according to how well they adapted to these pressures.
Perhaps the journalism departments at our universities don't accept students
who don't fit the lemming mold. Anyway, journalists certainly do have a very
strong tendency to stick close to the herd and to regard with suspicion and hostility
anyone who has strayed very far from the herd.
Now, this is an oversimplification, but I believe that the reason so many
media people fell in love with Bill Clinton as soon as he appeared on the
political scene back in 1991 or so is that they saw him as one of their crowd,
their herd. "Bill marched with us for the Viet Cong," they thought.
"Bill partied and smoked dope with us. He's one of us."
And they look at me and they think: "This guy Pierce is from the other
side of the tracks. Instead of helping us trash the dean's office, he joined
the John Birch Society. He doesn't belong to our crowd, so let's trash him
too." Anyway, I believe that there's an element of that sort of thinking
in the average journalist's mentality.
Now, the bright side of this picture is that people who think like lemmings
and have been conditioned by group pressure to have certain views can very
easily be conditioned to have quite different views by the simple application
of group pressure in a new direction. You won't be able to change an
independent thinker's opinions this way, but if you put 100,000 typical
journalists in a labor re-education camp and then select out 1,000 of them with
leadership potential, straighten out the thinking of this 1,000 with
two-by-fours, then put them in charge of the others, and put all except the
1,000 reoriented commissars on a diet of 300 calories a day, in a year every
journalist in the camp will be reoriented: skinny, but sincerely reoriented.
You can turn them loose with complete confidence that they'll follow the new
party line just as slavishly as they followed the old party line, even after
they've regained their former weight. That's the way lemmings are.
There's one other aspect of the ADL's operation which merits scrutiny, and
that is its program of corrupting police departments around the country. At the
press conferences they held in their regional offices last month when they
promoted me to "most dangerous man" they had a number of local police
officials with them. The appearance of these police officials on the platform
along with the ADL's Jews tended to give the press conferences a sort of
quasi-official or quasi-governmental atmosphere, and that undoubtedly
encouraged the reporters present to accept the ADL's lies without question.
Some of the police officials were there because they have political
ambitions. They're planning on running for the state legislature some day, and
they want the Jews' backing. Others were there because the ADL has assiduously
been cultivating its relationships with police agencies for many years. The ADL
offers "anti-terrorist" seminars to police departments and
indoctrinates policemen with its hate propaganda under the guise of teaching
them how to recognize and combat "domestic terrorists" -- such as
William Pierce. The ADL gets away with this despite its own record of criminal
activity. The ADL has been able to persuade the cops to overlook its having
been caught with stolen police files. That's a little frightening. If we had a
government with integrity, the ADL would be dangerous enough. But with a
government like we have in the United States today, every decent citizen must
regard with horror the subversion of our police agencies by the ADL.
