It took Republican congresswoman and Tea Party icon Michele Bachmann less than 24 hours after President Obama's Middle East address to launch an attack on him. On May 19, 150,000 residents in Iowa and South Carolina received robo-calls from Bachmann, accusing Obama of not standing up for Israel...

Within the Tea Party, Bachmann is at the forefront of those making Israel a key part of her agenda. In her speech at the high-profile Faith & Freedom Conference held in Washington in early June, Bachmann termed Obama's call for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict based on Israel's 1967 boundaries and mutually agreed land swaps "shocking." She followed up by buying ads on Jewish websites reiterating this message.

Bachmann is not alone. Attacks on Obama's Israel policy have come from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, known as the Tea Party's biggest draw.

Pundit Glenn Beck, a vocal critic of the Obama presidency, has been devoting much of his airtime lately to the issue of Israel. He recently announced plans to hold a "Restoring Courage" rally August 20 in Jerusalem. At this gathering, modeled on his rally last summer that called for patriotic unity in Washington, Beck intends to call for Americans to "courageously stand with Israel."

These voices currently appear to be dominating discourse on Israel within the Tea Party, overshadowing the more isolationist views of such Israel critics as Rand Paul and his father, Ron Paul, a declared 2012 presidential candidate....

Editor’s Note: Lately we have observed “anti-Zionist” and even supposed “anti-Talmud” right wingers blame “the Jews” for Glenn Beck’s derogation at Fox News. With blind guides like these Beck-sympathizers leading us, is it any wonder we’re losing the battle for hearts and minds? These alleged "anti-Talmudic Conservatives Christians" are beyond obtuse. When Nikita Krushchev sacked Lavrenty Beria, did it make Beria less of a Communist? Beck is no less a Zionist because Fox News has distanced itself from him. 

Because Beck’s apocalyptic mystification of history and politics is viewed as an increasingly buffoonish, demoagogic detraction from the sophisticated, professional public relations image the Zionist power structure wishes its talking heads to project, he has been moved off center stage. Big deal. We’re supposed to weep for our poor, persecuted populist oracle who has been viciously repressed by his masters.

Mr. Beck is a case-hardened Zionist, just like “Christian Conservative” Sarah Palin (who wore not a cross, but a hexagram [so-called “Star of David”] on her recent rear-end kissing tour of “Israel”). Beck is being transfered to the John Hagee circuit; in other words, to be used as the sideshow Israeli propagandist, not the main attraction. Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes believe that the mystic-Mormon Beck is not as professional in his demeanor and presentation as he should be. In response to this tactical move, right wingers have declared Beck to have been martyred by “the Jooze.” 

The right wing has a terminal disease: from Ronald Reagan to Glenn Beck, they worship their executioners. Even right wing supposed experts on Judaism have fallen for the false opposition mirage projected by the rabbinic, pillar of chesed/pillar of gevurah Temple of permissible Left/Right ideology, which has been imposed on the political framework of the West ever since the masonic French Revolution. Having suckered-in for this hallucination, right wing reverends proclaim Beck to be part of the noble opposition to the Temple! 

It’s five minutes to midnight on the clock of destiny and most of those who have appointed themselves as our guides and visionaries don’t have a clue. You want to weep? Weep for the hypnotic right wing herd that is simultaneously puffed up on its own imaginary grasp of the secret mind control methods of Judaism, while in actuality being just as dumbed-down as any other boob-tube bovine chewing its kosher cud.

Israeli-First, Zionist Warhawk Glenn Beck Is No Martyr

Call Him An Israeli-First Zionist And A Dangerous Mossad Asset

But Please Don’t Call Glenn Beck A Martyr

By Hugh Akins


News of the firing of Fox superstar icon Glenn Beck is being received by unthinking Catholics, Christians and patriots as the greatest moral outrage since 9/11. “This poor persecuted patriot.” “So hated by the Jews.” “A genuine martyr for the cause of freedom.” “A real American hero.”

These are some of the things good people are actually saying about Zionist/Israeli-First Glenn Beck. Unable to spare the time to set the record straight and prove beyond all doubt that Mr. Beck is none of those things which good people think he is, but rather a total fraud, the next best thing is to share with you the following thoughts which were taken from my forthcoming book, Synagogue Rising. It was in that book that I had the audacity to suggest that Beck was one of the enemy’s “useful idiots” who, far from being a true conservative, is nothing more than a “Zionist Court Jester And Top Candidate For The Next ‘Most Dangerous Man In America’ Title.

I also predicted that Fox News would eventually fire him and that his Zionist handlers would make a martyr out of him, furthering their evil cause. The following is taken verbatim from my new book, Synagogue Rising. Enjoy the sneak preview.

The master manipulators once again get the dumbed-down American public to fall for yet another of their mass-deceptions as part of a meticulously engineered psychological warfare campaign against the simple-minded goyim.

The television addict who foolishly permits the likes of Glenn Beck to poison his/her thinking is certain to remain misinformed, confused and cemented in Rabbinic lies, even while believing they have all the answers and remedies for all the wrongs in the world. Such massive mind-conditioning is frightening.

Recently, part of our research for this book became part of a self-imposed penance for Lent. It turned out to be the most painful penance we could possibly inflict on our person. We subjected ourself to the exceedingly unpleasant task of sitting through a Glenn Beck TV presentation for the first – and we assure you – last time. More than “unpleasant,” the experience was downright revolting. Rarely, even after many long years on the front lines, have we encountered such a display of mindless babble, of intellectually drunken sophistry, of blatant deception, of emotion-charged propaganda, of outright treason disguised as patriotism. So deliriously insane is this comedian-propagandist of the Zionist right that we cannot help but agree with certain liberals that label him “Fox News’s paranoid superstar demagogue.” [1]

For all the talk about the New World Order, Glenn Beck is one of its most energetic and effective facilitators. How so? One reason: he is a fanatic warhawk for Israel. Nothing is driving the world faster into the Judaized New World Order than the aggressive and genocidal wars we are fighting for Israel.
The reason this Judaized court-jester is given so much coverage in the Jewish-controlled media – Fox is no less Zionist than all the other purveyors of disinformation – is because he is one of them, notwithstanding all the impassioned claims to the contrary.

 A Mormon by creed, Beck is therefore linked to Talmudic Freemasonry, which is and has always been under Judaic inspiration and control. With an estimated 2-3 million viewers per night, the “king of conservative porn” would not be in the national spotlight and raking in millions of dollars from blind conservatives from coast-to-coast if he were nearly as true-blue conservative and anti-Big Government as he makes himself out to be.

If there was anything we might agree on with the radically subversive hate-peddlers of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), it’s their concern regarding the upsurge in new “patriot” organizations in the past year. In its March 2, 2010 report, “Rage on the Right: The Year In Hate; Extremism,” we learn that “an astonishing 363 new patriot groups appeared in 2009, with the totals going from 149 groups (including 42 militias) the year before to 512 (127 of them militias) – a 244% jump.” [2]

Why should true patriots be alarmed over this development? Because the majority of these newly formed groups are part of the controlled opposition, intentional or otherwise. Like Fox News and Glenn Beck, their mission is to deceive, divert, discredit – in a word, neutralize – moral-minded citizens who would otherwise stand against the Rabbinic Tyranny that is right now fastening the final chains about the American people.

Conservative-minded middle America must wake up. Glenn Beck is more than just the leading conservative “court jester;” Glenn Beck, let us repeat and emphasize, is an unyielding Zionist. He is fond of saying that he’s not going to treat his audience like morons, but this is exactly what he does.

“Truth has no agenda,” he sanctimoniously grandstands. “Obama has an agenda…the left has an agenda… the media has an agenda…” He loves to rant and rage in self-righteous indignation, but certainly not him.

 He is the populist Moses-come-down-from-the-mountain-after-seeing-the-face-of-God to lead the "chosen people" of the right (Fox viewers) to the promised land of a restored America - Jeffersonian Constitutional Republicanism. His only agenda, he would have all his cheering and worshipful fans blindly believe, is to speak the truth, to expose evil, to save America from “Obammunism,” and to re-open the gates of heaven for all who tune in to Fox News and genuflect before him. It’s the gospel according to Glenn Beck. And, God save us, there are many conservative and traditional Catholics and other patriots who make up no small part of the Glenn Beck Fan Club.

Well, you can be sure that Mr. Beck and Fox TV have a far different agenda than what those who’ve become hypnotized by all their lies hold to be true. Their agenda is Israel’s agenda, it’s quite simple and quite obvious. And on the top of the list is the rabid push for war with Iran and more support for Israel and an ever escalating war on terror on Israel’s behalf.

 Make no mistake about it. This high-strung and pompous con-artist, comedian, showman, pseudo-conservative is no Moses, but no less a Mossad asset than Abe Foxman of the ADL is a Mossad agent, only less conspicuously so. And because the fact is more cleverly disguised, he is the more effective and hence the more dangerous traitor. At least Foxman is honest enough to openly stand for anti-Christian Talmudism. Beck is the greater deceiver whose task is to lead the whole of conservative/moderate-liberal middle America into the Zionist camp under the pretext of defending American and Israeli democracy and standing against Marxist and Islamic militancy.

Watch carefully – the process has already begun – as Tea Party conservatism is progressively assimilated into Ronald Reagan conservatism via the grand deception of Glenn Beck conservatism. Interestingly enough, it takes a liberal to see Beck for what he really is. Kevin Drum writes for the far-left Mother Jones consortium. Here’s what he says in part: “Glenn Beck is, for a liberal like me, far more entertaining to watch than, say, Sean Hannity or Bill O’Riley. The latter are garden variety blowhards and their subject matter is predictable. But Beck? He’s crazy! He thinks the Muslim Brotherhood is going to take over the entire Mediterranean! Fabian socialists are a fifth column working to subvert everything that makes America great! (But slowly, sneakily.) The Tides Foundation is on a mission to ‘warp your children’s brains’! And Obama the secret Marxist is behind it all! It all fits together!
“This is actually sort of entertaining in small doses. But in bigger doses, not so much.” [3]

The scam consists of a vast media effort, the left collaborating with the right as always, to project Glenn Beck as a persecuted enemy of the liberal establishment rather than an invaluable stooge of that same Talmudic establishment’s Grand Design for America and the world. Even the Jews, whom Beck serves with undying loyalty, criticize him in public in order to maintain the deception (as they now do with Obama). By portraying His Lordship Mr. Beck in this light, as an anti-Semite, he is lionized as a martyr/hero for “the cause” which is certain to galvanize more support for him and therefore secretly for International Jewry’s anti-Christian conspiracy. This is precisely what is happening.

 Michael Hoffman explains:

“Glenn Beck couldn’t be more of a slave of the Talmudic mentality if he wore a kippah (skullcap) and carried a copy of the Talmud Bavli onto the Fox News set. He follows their script 99% of the time. But it’s that one percent of independence that troubles any slave-master.

“(1) Beck is not supposed to use ‘Holocaust’ parallels. ‘Holocaust’ is a trademark of the Master Race of Holy People and they have a proprietary relationship with it. (2) Beck cannot criticize any certified ‘Holocaust’ saint. St. George Soros is one such Holy Person.

“For these two minor infractions the master chess players take the opportunity to be seen as highly critical of their shabbos goy, Mister Beck. He is portrayed as another ‘Father Coughlin,’ the peace campaigner and social justice worker who so annoyed the usual suspects in the 1930s. Beck is no Coughlin. The comparison is laughable. Beck [is PRO-war not antiwar as was Fr. Coughlin. Beck too] hates the social justice campaign against usury. His economic heroine is the greed-is-good Russian Khazar, Ayn Rand. But leave it to the Talmudic mentality to stretch the bounds of credulity with their delusion.

“Watch the pea under the shell: with this controversy, Zionists show themselves as independent of Beck and Beck gets to appear as a thorn in the side of Zionism – even though Beck is a fervent war-Zionist who doesn’t just kiss Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s feet, he kisses each of his toes…Watch for ‘useful idiots’ in the right wing start to refer to Beck as being ‘courageous as Father Coughlin’ and someone who is beginning to wake up about the ‘Jews.’” [4]

It’s also possible Beck will get “fired” by Fox to really dramatize the “persecuted martyr” false image. We recently saw the same tactic employed in the termination of Keith Olbermann from MSNBC, who is said to be Beck’s counterpart on the left. Right, left, centrist, Beck, Olbermann – they’re all on the same side: the side of their/our Talmudic Overlords, the Elders of Zion, Masters of America and the world.
An article titled “Glen Beck the Socialist” [5] does a poor job of exposing his Rabbinic, socialist, statist, Big Government proclivity, [6] no matter how much rhetoric is spent focusing on the opposite. But it does speak a single truth in observing that some folks “view him as a phony usurper of the freedom movement.” He is exactly, emphatically that.

In the months leading up to the 2008 presidential elections Beck was heard on nationwide television naming candidate McCain as his personal preference. Not Dr. Ron Paul, mind you; not Dr. Chuck Baldwin – either of whom would have been the proper choice if Beck really believed all the conservative verbiage that comes out of his mouth in an endless torrent of lies and deception. But Sen. John McCain, the least conservative, most radical candidate who has been described as “the most dangerous man in America” by Chronicles magazine? You can’t get any more socialist, statist, internationalist and Zionist than that without openly favoring Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton for president. And if we are not mistaken, he has named Sarah Palin as his prime choice in the up-coming 2012 elections. Yes, Sarah Palin, darling of the Zionist right.

For those who do not have their head buried in the sand, ostrich-like, Mr. Beck is as predictable as the rotation of dawn and dusk. Yet Beck’s rhetoric is always for less government intrusion in our lives, less federal regulations in the market, less state encroachments upon our liberties, less cultural and political communism, less Islamism...truly the man is a “saint,” is he not?

His defenders are quick to point out that he has invited on his show such genuine patriots as Dr. Ron Paul and G. Edward Griffin. This, we assert, is only to keep up the masquerade that he himself is a principled and leading conservative who can be trusted. But a closer look betrays a horse of an altogether different color.

He is certainly most cunning in the way he will manipulate such genuine conservatives on his program; most cunning in the way he, not his guests, will direct and dominate the dialogue, in the way he will allow certain truths to be disclosed only to totally dismiss them in drawing his typically false conclusions, in the way he will permit the discussion to go only so far before he will cut off his guests from speaking of the real issues, the real dangers, the real culprits.

 We read that in the same show which featured Mr. Griffin, expert on the Federal Reserve and author of the most comprehensive expose on the Fed ever produced, The Creature from Jekyll Island (Mr. Griffin who, by the way, hardly got a word in), Beck mocked the idea that a Rothschild conspiracy was behind the secret founding of America’s Central Bank, which is essentially a money monopoly of which Beck’s Fox sponsor is a key player, and that behind the Rothschild Empire was a vast International Crime Syndicate of Rabbinic anti-Christianism, all of which are matters of historical fact.

 Glenn Beck will attack George Soros, but never even whisper a word about the Cryptocracy’s far more powerful Insiders at B’nai B’rith, the ADL, Chabad Lubavitch, the OTO, in a word, those hardline anti-Christian Talmudists that sit at the pinnacle of Political and Financial Power over America and the world.
How is this systematic disinformation and cover-up of the facts not complete and utter treason on the part of media superstars like Glenn Beck? How is this not the charades of a shrewd and cunning master deceiver, and a Zionist wolf in sheep’s clothing?

This is the same Glenn Beck who practically single-handedly snatched hold of the initial Tea Party movement, which had some sincere patriots and noble intentions propelling it, and turned a huge part of it into just another false alternative to the bipartisan status quo Judeo-Masonic establishment. For all these reasons combined, and given the power he and Fox News seem to hold over the minds of countless millions of basically honest but absolutely conned patriotic Americans, Mr. Beck himself may well become the next “most dangerous man in America.” We cringe at the thought of how many traditional Catholics have been beguiled and played for a fool by this pied piper of crypto-Judaic Totalitarianism disguised as anti-Obama, Star-Spangled, Motherhood-and-Apple-Pie American Conservatism.

Dear friends, Glenn Beck’s mission, we cannot stress it enough, is to make true conservatives a laughing-stock, thereby undermining the moral and religious foundations upon which true conservatism is built. A Judaic “useful idiot” if ever there was one, Mr. Beck is to be considered extremely delusional in his self-adulation and exceedingly dangerous in the extent of his vast influence and mastery of disinformation.

We have much more to say about Sarah Palin, the Tea Party movement, the new up-coming Zionist “No Labels” third party controlled opposition to the two-party Zionist syndicate, neocons – false patriots and psychopathic warmongers, phony Christians who parrot the Zionist party line, etc. You’ll have to purchase a copy of Synagogue Rising to read the rest.

If you liked what you read above; if you see the importance of the book it was excerpted from, perhaps you will see fit to help us get this book published. It is 99.5% completed. Besides a few last-minute finishing touches, all we need now are the funds to take it to print. If you think this book has merit and is important, perhaps you will send us the most generous donation you can to help get it printed, bound, advertised and widely distributed. Getting this book into the hands of many good people is as much to your advantage as it is to ours. None of us are immune from the menace of crypto-Judaic Totalitarianism which is swiftly descending upon us all.

That it is a major instrument of Jewish oppression? The same for the Soviet-like DHS and all the other federal agencies that represent and foster totalitarian tyranny.

Re: "Beck is Right! 'Secular' Judaism is like Radical Islam!" by Rev. Ted Pike

Rev. Pike continually returns to the old right wing lunacy (see footnote 402 on page 360 of Judaism Discovered), that Talmud-true "Orthodox" rabbis are to be preferred to "left wing secular Reform" rabbis.

This insanity, together with his praise for pied piper Glenn Beck, the greed-is-good apostle of Russian-American atheist Alissa Rosenbaum ("Ayn Rand"), whose money-worshipping doctrines guided Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve policies, is such a palimpsest of confusion and error as to be breath-taking.

Moreover, who could be more "political" among rabbis than the powerful and strictly Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch cult?

Rev. Pike is plagued by a double-mind which he disseminates nation-wide, and which results in destructive confusion-mongering.

Does anyone really think anymore, or do we just accept sound-bites and jargon without comprehension or analysis? 

Mr. Pike, by endorsing the mountebank Mr. Beck, is strongly implying that rabbis who do not hold rigidly to the Talmud ("Reform rabbis") are vastly more dangerous than rabbis who do ("Orthodox"). 

This is utter buncombe, calculated to mislead.

BECK IS RIGHT! "SECULAR" JUDAISM IS LIKE RADICAL ISLAM
By Rev. Ted Pike
24 Feb 11
Tea Party leader and talk host Glenn Beck is under attack again by left-wing Jewry for this recent on-air comment: "There are the Orthodox rabbis, and there are the Reform rabbis. Reformed (sic) rabbis are generally political in nature. It's almost like radicalized Islam where it is just -- radicalized Islam is less about religion than it is about politics.”

 Jewish attack groups quickly demonized Beck's remarks, alleging that his comparison of the Jewish supremacist rabbis of Reform (secular) Judaism to Islamic supremacists merits immediate apology. ADL head Abe Foxman said Beck's remarks are "beyond the pale" and "discount the faith" of Reform Jews. Yet Beck is getting very, very close to the truth. Jewish supremacism, epitomized by the secularist Reform rabbis who want Beck fired from FOX News, is actually much more of a threat to civilization than is radical Islam...

Ezra Pound

by Michael Hoffman | Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

"Bank-paper must be suppressed, and the circulating medium must be restored to the nation to whom it belongs." (Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, Monticello, June 24, 1813).

"I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." (Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, Monticello, May 28, 1816).

“Neither he (Benito Mussolini) nor T.J. (Thomas Jefferson) was interested in, nor bamboozled by money.” (Ezra Pound, Jefferson and/or Mussolini, p. 64).

This Saturday, Oct. 30 will mark the 125th annniversary of the birth of poet/philosopher Ezra Pound in the frontier town of Hailey, in what was then the “Idaho territory” of the United States.

To honor his memory and perpetuate his campaign for justice in economics and against the authority of money in government and society, Independent History and Research is reprinting his classic text, Jefferson and/or Mussolini, which has been out of print for forty years.

Pound’s union of Jefferson, the small government populist, with Mussolini the Fascist, will certainly strike the reader as the oddest of conjunctions. Prof. Alec Marsh decodes the paradox:

“...Pound's critique of capitalism...is purely Populist, certainly not Fascist. Pound was against militarism...and had little interest in youth cults, mass spectacles or mystic Italian nationalism, which he seems to have accepted simply as the Italian way of doing things. What fundamentally interested Pound in Italian Fascism was the possibility it offered for what Emilio Gentile has called 'the conquest of modernity.' That is, Pound admired the attempt by Mussolini to overcome and control the impersonal economic forces unleashed by modernization. Volitionist economics is an attempt to formulate a practical program for those who have the will to master the forces of modernity — a will that Mussolini had in abundance....It seems clear that the man, not the party, interests Pound. And Pound is interested because he thinks that Mussolini might enact the economic reforms necessary to restore social justice...” (Money and Modernity: Pound, Williams, and the Spirit of Jefferson).

If one knows anything of the history of western civilization’s struggle against usury, from the ancient Greeks to the medieval Catholics, from William Shakespeare to C.H. Douglas, a glaring contradiction will be found not in a conjunction of an American and an Italian revolutionary, but in the appropriation of Jefferson by Glenn Beck, the Fox TV disciple of the greed-is-good Khazar-capitalist, Ayn Rand.

Beck has plenty of friends in Pound’s native state. In Idaho we have a tabloid called the Capitalist Papers which is where the Tea Party and well-intentioned patriots like Phil Hart advertise and are afforded a forum.

Raul Labrador, Idaho’s “conservative” Republican candidate for Congress, is a shill for the corporate transfer of America’s wealth to China. His campaign is against “Obamacare” and government spending (except for spending on the national police state and overseas neocon empire). Nancy Pelosi is his cuss word; Ben Bernanke gets a pass.

Jefferson and/or Mussolini is not a book we intend to distribute to Idaho ignoramuses and expect that they will have a “Eurkea!” moment after reading it. It’s not a book for the completely ignorant. Pound was old school. He dealt in what the Scholastics called “First principles.” His thought patterns and arguments are lush with profundity, paradox and poetry.

Pound was not a snob, however. Like Jefferson, he was a man of the people despite an I.Q. that was off the charts. He cared intensely for the welfare of the poor and the workers. He was big on common sense and intuition and he would cherish a vision of an Idaho mountaineer in 2010 trying to parse his prose by a wood-fired stove.

We’re not promoting Jefferson and/or Mussolini as one of those supposed “blockbuster eye-opener books!” which is guaranteed to generate instant enlightenment in the reader. Since when is education anything other than a lifetime project?

Pound’s book should be in the library of every person who aspires to be learned -- we do advance that thesis and trust that it is not hyperbole.

There is no substitute for true education. One can obtain the appearance of learning by sitting at the feet of Glenn Beck and his chalkboard. Image and appearance are what modern America is all about. Mountebanks like Beck invoke the America of the past as a front for their support for anti-American usury banking and Israeli hot and cold foreign wars; the latter now being waged against Iran, where sanctions are beginning to destabilize the economy of a nation rooted in opposition to usury, and which is a threat to no one except those who believe they have a license to murder Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.

From out of this nightmare arises the writer who gave us the Pisan Cantos, the intellectual who wrote the ABC of Reading, and the courageous campaigner for economic justice who penned Jefferson and/or Mussolini.

Reading Pound’s book is a journey into a great mind. We make no warranties concerning the degree to which it will “change your life” or “wake up your neighbors.” The extent to which this book can exalt your spirit and stimulate your mind depends on the extent of your own personal character and ennoblement.

Let’s face it, most of us are not spending our days making our way through the 100 Classic Books of Western Thought. Most of us spend our reading time on newspapers and the Internet. We haven’t read Aristotle or Augustine, Chaucer or Dickens, or if we did it was ages ago, in a stuffy classroom with a mediocre teacher, and from a motivation to pass a course rather than lift up our heart and mind.

Pound’s little volume fills a two-fold void. First, it starts us on our peregrination back to the tried and true paths and founts of our civilization which the Glenn Becks of our world have suppressed. Second, it serves as a sign of contradiction to the literati of America and Europe as they meet over the next days and weeks to celebrate the 125th birthday of a domesticated Ezra Pound, shorn of his lion’s mane. They want to forget that there was a reason he was locked up for twelve years by the U.S. government and it has to do, then as now, with the life-and-death struggle with the Money Power, the evil which underlies every other evil (Matthew 6:24; 1 Timothy 6:10).

Alas, in this economy, our own publishing enterprise is no longer what it once was, as buyers and donors drop by the wayside. Therefore, we are no longer able to order a thousand copies of a book at a time, with the resulting advantageous economy of scale that such quantity purchases afford. In our straitened circumstances, wherein we are fighting to stave off bankruptcy, we have engaged the services of the print-on-demand publishing trade. By this means we finance the printing of books based on the advance orders we receive from individual readers. If you choose to order, please allow up to four weeks for delivery. Overseas please allow up to five weeks (figuring an average of an extra week for air mail).

JEFFERSON AND/OR MUSSOLINI (quality paperback; 138 pages), $17.95 plus postage and packing. Please do not send just $17.95 or your order will be returned. You must also pay for shipping (see below).

The inmates have taken over the asylum


"Look around you. You're not alone. You are Americans! You have the same steel spine and the moral courage of Washington and Lincoln and Martin Luther King. It is in you. It will sustain you as it sustained them.”

--Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck's rally, Washington D.C., Aug. 28, 2010

__________________________________________________


By Michael Hoffman | www.RevisionistHistory.org

If it weren't so steeped in misdirection and moronic self-contradiction, the spectacle of Fox TV savant Glenn Beck and sidekick Sarah Palin vying with "Civil Wrongs" demagogues to see who can surpass the other in venerating the memory of Martin Luther King Jr., would be amusing rather than stomach-churning. Mr. Beck is organizing a “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington D.C., which he will headline with Mrs. Palin on Aug. 28, the forty-seventh anniversary of King’s "I Have a Dream" speech.

Beck states: "...whites don't own the Founding Fathers. Whites don't own Abraham Lincoln. Blacks don't own Martin Luther King. Humans embrace their ideas or reject their ideas. Too many are rejecting the Founders' ideas. Too many have forgotten Abraham Lincoln's ideas and far too many have either gotten just lazy or they have purposely distorted Martin Luther King's ideas of judge a man by the content of his character. Lately, in the last 20 years, we've been told that character doesn't matter. Well, if character doesn't matter, then what was Martin Luther King asking people to judge people by?" (Washington Post, August 17, 2010).

This writer has long regarded the Ayn Rand-greed-is-good advocate Glenn Beck as a platinum-plated fraud, despite his lofty Jeffersonian rhetoric. In the preceding remarks we see Beck praising the tyrant Abraham Lincoln, the gravedigger of the American Republic, and Martin Luther King, the man who destroyed our freedoms of association (the right to serve and employ whomever we choose) and property (the right to house or decline to house anyone).

The King-inspired Civil Rights Act of 1964 eclipsed two of our key immemorial freedoms. Mr. Beck, who is a politician and a media carnival barker, not a philosopher or statesman, despite his chalkboard didacticism -- is oblivious. Bill Ayers, the Republicans' perfidous poster boy for all that is wrong with Barack Obama, is a cherubic choirboy in comparison with Martin Luther King. Yet Bipolar Beck execrates Ayers and exonerates King.

"You're a perfectionist, Hoffman. Beck may not always be right, but he occasionally says some useful things."

And you, dear reader, are suicidally myopic if you don't know that an enemy of truth almost never promotes complete falsehood, but mixes fallacies with facts to make the former more palatable; that is Mr. Beck's role in the Right wing alchemical theatre, which is staged to look like a summer camp for sincere patriots.

Beck is leading an enslavement movement posing as a revival of the Founding Fathers. It is double-minded to the core and this fact should be an indication to rational people, of the extent to which it is directed by dark forces. His "conservatism" is of a piece with Talmudic neocon-ism and other alien alliances touted by the Republican Tea partiers, such as, for example, the free ride which synagogues are getting while mosques are attacked as the pit of evil. Rational people do not primarily blame Muslims for 9/11, which was an inside job of the George W. Bush regime.

Rational people do not make a cult out of the suffering of only one ethnic group in a World War II that saw the deaths of 55 million people.

Rational people do not support a "free trade" policy that ships our jobs and industries to Communist China under color of building free enterprise in America.

Rational people do not legalize usury, a heinous sin for 1,500 years, until the ascendance of John Calvin, and build a financial system upon it, while hypocritical usurers like Beck talk piously about not working on the Sabbath. ("Beck said he believes it was 'divine providence' that the rally was scheduled on the anniversary of the King speech. He said he had initially planned the event for Sept. 12 and then realized it was a Sunday. 'I'm not going to ask anyone to work on the Sabbath,' he said. He rescheduled the rally for Aug. 28 because it was the best day for the schedules of the people involved." --Washington Post, August 17, 2010).

Rational people do not make a hero out of Ronald Reagan, who knew very well that King was a Communist, a demonstrable liar, a serial adulterer and a woman-beater. Nevertheless, with a shrug of his broad shoulders, this "conservative" presidential icon sentenced the youth of America to perpetual King Holiday public school brainwashing every January.

Because most Americans alive today have been mis-educated, they do not understand and have not embraced the concept of First Principles -- the belief that one proceeds from and tests all subsequent ideas and movements based on a bedrock of ancient truths, grounded in Scripture and the immemorial heritage of inalienable rights that flow from the Christian legacy. These God-given rights permit me, as a free man, to employ only Black people, or only Italian-Americans, or only WASPs, and permit me, as a free man, to refuse to rent my house to a Chinaman, an Irish Catholic, a Khazar, a Calvinist or Al Sharpton.

These rights may not always be prudent or courteous or charitable to exercise, but as a last resort, they permit a free man or woman the option to work with and house only those who he or she believes are best suited to their personal goals, beliefs and aspirations, and afford them the right to avoid those who would violate or obstruct those beliefs and pursuits.

When these rights of association and property are diminished or abridged, then I am diminished as a free man. King’s "dream” is a nightmarish signpost on a road to serfdom paved by the curtailment of individual freedom which the misnamed "Civil Rights Act" imposed.

Moreover, the mind boggles at the folly of including Abraham Lincoln in Beck’s patriot pantheon, the dictator who suspended the writ of habeas corpus, nearly jailed the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, closed newspapers, and arrested legislators and journalists (including the grandson of the author of the Star-Spangled Banner). Lincoln told the South that it did not have the right to secede from the Federal Union, even though the Founders of the nation had seceded from the British Union. When the smoke of Mr. Lincoln's war cleared, 600,000 Americans lay dead in one of the worst acts of fratricide in the annals of the West. Glenn Beck enshrines the tyrant who imposed this incalculable horror on our nation. Every president who has endeavored to govern like a monarch, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush, has invoked Lincoln’s despotic engorgement of the executive branch of government to serve as a template for their own executive usurpations.

By placing Lincoln and King on a pedestal, Mr. Beck is telling us what he really believes and who he actually serves, beneath his persona as the All-American exponent of the Constitution and apple pie. His adherents exhibit what William Blake termed, "mind-forged manacles." They are willing to be enslaved as long as it is under a veneer of liberty. If they continue to march behind their pudgy pied-piper, they will have their wish.

Working Class Zero
Timothy Egan | NY Times | Sept. 16, 2009 (excerpt)
Additional remarks by Michael Hoffman follow this column

...For average Americans, the last 10 years were a lost decade. At the end of President George W. Bush's eight years in office, American households had less money and less economic security, and fewer of them were covered by health care than 10 years earlier, the Census Bureau reported in its annual survey. The poverty rate in 2008 rose to 13.2 percent, the highest in 11 years, while median household income fell to $50,303. The decline started before the collapse in the housing and financial sectors. Harvard economist Lawrence Katz called it "a plutocratic boom."

President Bush cut $1.3 trillion in taxes — and the biggest beneficiaries by far were the top one percent of earners. At the same time, Wall Street was inflated by the helium of a regulation-free economy that eventually gave us Bernie Madoff and banks begging for bailouts.

...Where was the Tea Party movement when the tax burden was shifted from the high end to the middle? Where were the patriots when Wall Street, backed in Congress by Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, rewrote securities laws so that the wonder boys of Lehman and A.I.G. could reduce home mortgages to poker chips at a trillion-dollar table?

Now consider the people who showed up in a state of generalized rage in Washington D.C. over the weekend. They have no leaders, save a self-described rodeo clown — Glenn Beck of Fox News — and some well-funded Astroturf outfits from the permanent lobbying class inside the Beltway. They are loosely organized under a Tea Party movement, but these people are closer to British Tories than 18th century patriots...

Where were the angry "stiffs" when the banking industry rolled the last Congress — majority Democrat, by the way — into rewriting bankruptcy law, making it easier to keep people in permanent credit card hock? Where were they when President Bush started the bailouts, with $700 billion that had to be paid on a few days' notice — with no debate — to save global capitalism? They were nowhere, because they were clueless, just as most journalists were.

Michael Hoffman adds:

Where were the Tea party patriots when Bush lied us into the invasion of Iraq? Where was one Congressman to shout "You lie" at Bush during a joint session of Congress after it was revealed there were no "weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" and the wastrel war was a fraud?

Where were the Tea party patriots when George W. Bush gave himself the power of an 18th century British monarch, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and send anyone he declared to be an "enemy combatant" --including any American citizen -- to perpetual imprisonment without trial?

Where were the tea party patriots when President Bush instituted warrantless wiretapping?

“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition,” James Madison wrote, signifying that our Constitution's separation of powers plan of government depended on the president, Congress and the Supreme Court acting as a natural check on each other. But "King" George made the Executive branch dominant, severely weakening the Founders' checks and balances, while the Bush regime's USA Patriot Act gave the executive branch unconstitutional law-enforcement powers.

Where was the Tea Party revolt when the protection from arbitrary arrest, found in the Magna Carta and he Constitution of the United States -- one of the most powerful weapons against tyranny in the arsenal of the Republic -- was trashed by Mr. Bush and Fox News favorite Dick Cheney? Before Bush and Cheney, only one American president had suspended habeas corpus — Abraham Lincoln, during the War for Southern Independence— and the Supreme Court duly struck down his arrogation of power.

Where were the Tea Party activists when the Bush administration commissioned Admiral John Poindexter, convicted of crooked activities in the Reagan administration, to head the Orwellian "Total Information Agency" to "data mine" every computer in America? To add insult to injury this Federal agency debuted under an emblem of blatant masonic-Illuminati symbolism.

Where were the Tea Party activists when Bush was asked about his involvement with the demonic "Skull and Bones" secret society and refused to answer, citing the oath of secrecy he took as a member of that wicked group of occult conspirators?

Obama may be evil, but the selective indignation of the current fake "Tea Party revolt," which is held within limits amenable to the neocon wing of the Republican party and its Moneybags backers, reveals the hidden hand of the Cryptocracy steering America back to the Republican reign of the rich and the continuing evisceration of our Constitution that did not start with Obama, but which reached unprecedented heights of despotism under President Bush and Vice-President Cheney --aided and abetted by the "patriot" Fox Network.
