ADL SETTLES FOR 'PIECEMEAL CONQUEST'
By Rev. Ted Pike
21 Jul 08
With unexpected defeat of the federal hate crimes
bill last December, Christian America was given a second chance.
The Anti-Defamation League, architect of hate and bias crime legislation
worldwide, lamented that their Plan A, the federal hate bill, would
have to “languish” for another year until the new Congress.
ADL had hoped to suddenly trap America , as they did Canada , in
the grip of a federal hate crimes law from which there would be little
chance of escape. (Watch Rev. Ted Pike's Hate
Laws: Making Criminals of Christians) Instead they are
forced to go ahead with Plan B on the local level. This contingency
was prepared for by ADL-assisted passage of 45 state hate laws, pro-homosexual
legislation, and ADL-inspired workplace bias laws.
Yet Plan B involves a much less desirable “piecemeal” attempt
to end free speech. It allows victims a relatively large amount of
time and freedom to become alarmed, protest, and possibly escape.
Under Plan B, ADL and their countless lackeys in the legislative,
court and law enforcement systems may have to take a step back for
every two steps forward.
It appears (especially in California this past year) that Big Brother
is onrushing with locomotive-like momentum. Actually, we are
not losing freedom as fast as we would have if the federal hate bill
passed last fall – as it very nearly did. (See, Unsung
Heroes of Hate Bill Defeat)
Obstacles to ADL in California
Plan B’s bumpy road to conquest is illustrated in California
.
Gov. Schwarzenegger signed into law S.B.777, making it a hate violation
to criticize homosexuality in California public education. Hundreds
of thousands of Christians responded by threatening to take their
children out of the public schools and homeschool them. But the Appeals
Court of Judge H. Walt Croskey scotched that idea. He ruled that
parents who homeschool their children without a teacher’s certificate
will become criminals, enemies of the state. Aghast, Christians submerged
this blatantly anti-Christian court with protest. Unable to credibly
override such magnitude of objection, his court vacated their decree,
inviting further comment on the controversy.
Also, the California Supreme Court (encouraged perhaps by an extensive
and persuasive amicus brief ADL was invited to submit) proclaimed
it unconstitutional to deprive homosexual couples of full legal and
financial benefits of marriage. (See, Did
ADL Influence California 'Gay Marriage' Ruling?) Again, a tsunami
of protest in the form of petition signatures from 1.1 million angry
citizens caused the Supreme Court to acquiesce to demands that this
issue be presented by referendum to the voters. (See, Counties
to Supreme Court on 'gay' marriage: Drop dead)
Further threatening the Supreme Court ruling, several California
counties are considering proposals to defy any enforcement of same
sex marriage. Protesters allege, "Only the legislature, or the
people through the initiative process, can make new laws in our state."
Such delays give Christians and lovers of freedom in California
a precious opportunity to mobilize and educate against pro-homosexual
and hate crimes laws.
ADL: Behind Schedule
ADL faces another dilemma, one Christians/conservatives can use
to their advantage. International Jewish anti-Christianity is straining
to meet a timetable for world dominance. Israel’s first prime
minister, David Ben Gurion, in his 1962 prophecy in Look magazine
(Jan. 16), said that well before the end of the 20th century the
whole world would be federated under the legal dominion of "the
supreme court of mankind" in Jerusalem. ADL hoped to accomplish
that largely by bringing America into hate crimes agreement with
Canada and Europe in 1998. But they failed to pass their Hate
Crimes Prevention Act of 1998 and began a losing streak that has lasted
to the present. Now, ten years later, passage of their cherished
hate bill remains in doubt in the next Congress. This is largely
due to an exponential increase of awareness among Christians of the
danger to freedom posed by hate laws.
ADL’s timetable is further threatened by rapidly proliferating
education on the internet concerning the Zionist/Talmudic conspiracy.
This awakening compels ADL to hurriedly establish even more restrictions
on free speech. If online anti-Zionist education proliferates unrestrained,
Jewish activism could ultimately face so much public anger and derision
that their agenda for world control would have to be postponed.
ADL must thus fast forward the destruction of Christian values
very boldly, almost recklessly, despite the risk of backlash. Again,
Christian and conservative freedom-lovers can exploit this opportunity.
Evil under pressure often becomes foolhardy, demanding too much too
fast. I believe this is happening as ADL-educated jurists, lawmakers,
and officials come after Christians in a way that even complacent
evangelicals, confident of impending "rapture," find frightening.
Pressure on ADL is also intensified by the extremely vocal criticism
of hate laws constantly coming from an official internet voice of
mainstream Christian/conservatism, World Net Daily. WND faithfully
reports any hate law abuse of Christian rights to a concerned audience
of 7 million.
Christians have reason to be worried: an alarming trend has developed
in little more than a year to detain, limit, or arrest Christian
leaders and activists in America . ADL and those it inspires are
trampling a lot of evangelical toes, eliciting painful but very healthy
shrieks of protest. Here are some examples:
- In St. Petersburg , Florida , five Christians, including two
pastors, were arrested for the "speech crime" of wearing
signs protesting homosexuality during a "gay pride" event.
(See, Trial
set for pastors with signs wider than torsos
- Michael Marcavage (head of the "Philly 11" Christians
arrested in 2004 for the "hate crime" of witnessing
to homosexuals) was recently arrested for criticizing abortion
without a "verbal permit." He would not limit his exortations
to a designated "free speech zone," witnessing on a
public sidewalk near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia . Convicted,
he was fined $400 and put on probation, requiring that for a
year he not go to Independence National Historical Park or its
surrounding sidewalks. (See, Man
preaches Jesus at Liberty Bell. Guess what happens?)
- In Florida , two Gideons were arrested for handing out Bibles
on a public sidewalk near a high school. The Gideons were placed
in a patrol car and mocked by a policeman. The case was overturned
by a federal court. (See, Judge
blasts state ban on distributing Bibles to students)
- An aspiring Christian politician, Jason Werner, was arrested
and handcuffed for street preaching on a public sidewalk in Cleveland
, Ohio . (See, Go
preaching, get arrested!)
- In Fredericksburg , Virginia , a pastor, member of the city
council, has been forbidden to pray in Jesus' name. If he does,
he will be arrested for "disorderly conduct." (See, Court
challenged to allow Christians right to pray, too)
A Precious Opportunity
Last December, just after defeat of the federal hate bill, I appeared
on Janet Folger’s syndicated talk show. She exclaimed over
the unexpected victory, “This was not supposed to happen!” (Hear
the show!) Indeed, just a short time before, it seemed ADL had
at last succeeded in making America a hate crimes bureaucracy like
Canada . But God is full of surprises for those who humble themselves
before Him. A miracle happened by Divine providence, a miracle we
must carefully preserve.
How can we? It is vital that every Christian/conservative know
the truth concerning liberal Jewish activism’s central role
in fomenting anti-Christianity in America and all hate and bias legislation
worldwide. Such awareness would exert unprecedented pressure on Jewish
activists to pull back. But, short term, we see in California the
effect of massive public protest to delay and possibly overturn aggressive
acts of legislative and judicial tyranny.
Other nations, not educated against hate laws, did not realize
the danger they were in. As a result, at the crucial moment when
they could have saved free speech, they lost it. ADL, forced to proceed
with their problematic Plan B, is now providing Christian America
a very rare, heaven-sent opportunity to avoid the same mistake.
Our second chance to save freedom may be our last.
Let’s roll!
