AZ SHOOTING: RIGHT WING PROTECTS
ADL/SPLC ACCUSERS
By Rev. Ted Pike
17 Jan 11
It is now more than a week since Jared Loughner’s fusillade
of gunfire shattered the political landscape. Today, there is still
no evidence Loughner was significantly influenced by “uncivil” right-wing
rhetoric. He is reportedly an angry, pot-smoking, mentally ill, Jewish
Satanist acting out his own violent fantasies. Yet national response
revolves around “uncivil” discourse from the right! This
misuse of the tragedy was jumpstarted not only by rash accusations
by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik but by the Anti-Defamation League
and Southern Poverty Law Center, two of the most powerful Christian-accusing
Jewish supremacist groups. You would never learn their role from most
commentary on all mainstream media; but within a day of the shooting,
ADL and SPLC had already scripted the national conversation, teaching
us false lessons they wanted us to learn.
That Sunday night, ADL's media alert asserted that religious right/Tea
Party “incivility” should be a top suspect for influencing
the violence. (See, ADL/SPLC: 'Incivility' of Right Probably Prompted
AZ Shooting) Even earlier, Southern Poverty Law
Center’s
Mark Potok, on MSNBC, claimed there is much evidence that Loughner
was influenced by the radical/conservative right.
Potok said there is a thread running through Loughner’s thoughts
making it “pretty clear” he saw the government as the enemy.
Books owned by Loughner, Potok alleges, carried a theme of anti-government
sentiment. The madman admires Ayn Rand, high priestess of libertarian
conservatives. He wants a return to gold and silver currency and wants
government controls on grammar, an idea Potok claims “exists
on the radical right." Loughner advocated for “conscience
dreaming,” which Potok alleges is “almost certainly conscious
dreaming,” which he says is a popular idea espoused by British
controversialist David Icke. Loughner wanted to burn the flag,
a desire Potok falsely alleges is shared by many on the radical right.
He also believes our government is treasonous, as does the radical
right, and that the government is involved in mind control. Like Sheriff
Dupnik, Potok thinks the “white-hot” vitriol of the right
makes it “not entirely surprising that Loughner acted out violently.” He
wanted to harm politicians; he resembled Joe Stack whose anti-IRS rage
caused him to fly into an Austin IRS building. Potok likens Loughner’s
gunfire to the bricks thrown through the windows of Democrat offices,
including Gabrielle Giffords' (presumably by anti-healthcare activists).
Finally, the SPLC intelligence project director says there can be no
exoneration for those who use charged imagery like Palin’s crosshairs,
inflaming the disturbed. (See MSNBC
Video with Potok)
In retrospect, none of Potok's accusations and innuendoes has been
confirmed to accurately describe Loughner as significantly influenced
by the right. Instead, he has been increasingly revealed to be a liberal-leaning
Jew whose motives for shooting Giffords may have stemmed from reasons
entirely unrelated to right-wing influences, perhaps from his family's
association with Giffords as members of the same synagogue! (See Texe
Marrs' Jared
Loughner Is A Liberal Jewish Satanist)
MSNBC always interviews Mark Potok when there is any possibility
of casting suspicion on the right. The powerful cable news channel
is presided over by NBC/Universal president and CEO, Jewish Jeff Zukor.
(Zukor produced NBC's “Book of Daniel” comedy, mocking
a degenerate "Christian" family.) (See, Who's
Behind NBC's "Book
of Daniel?") Empowering
Potok to influence a vast American audience, MSNBC pivotally encouraged
the misdirected national debate this week. It continues to mock the
religious right, especially the rampant “bigotry” of conservative
Arizona.
The premature attack by Jewish media, ADL and SPLC must have been
known to conservative voices like Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, WorldNetDaily,
American Family Association, and National Review. While there
is some emerging willingness to criticize SPLC when it attacks the
right there is never any criticism of ADL. Both of these Jewish muscle
groups enjoy complete absence of identification by the religious right
as Jewish. Conservative leaders fear such would sound “anti-Semitic” – opening
up the whole right wing to ADL/SPLC vilification. As a result they
have made little mention, if any, of these Jewish supremacist groups.
Once again, ADL and SPLC escape moral prosecution by Christians and
the American people.
It hasn’t been proven Loughner read WND, listened to conservative
talk radio, subscribed to Human Events or supported Sarah
Palin. If he had, there would be a much greater firestorm of accusation
from Jewish attack groups. They and Jewish-dominated media might have
successfully seized this opportunity to “prove” that the
right breeds violence. This could have led to legislation to cripple
and silence the "violent" right. (See, Jews
Confirm Big Media is Jewish) But there was no substantive
evidence, and soon a national conservative backlash against “Democrats” forced
ADL to merely pontificate against “hate” and petition Congress
for increased “civility.” Foxman could only express pious
disappointment at Sarah Palin's description of the left's attack as "blood
libel."
But the right again squandered (and still squanders) the perfect
opportunity to expose ADL and SPLC, bitterest enemies of Christianity
and freedom. Even now, the right could justifiably point out these
groups’ baseless, vicious rush to judgement incites the very
incivility against which they moralize. Instead, the religious right
directs public anger against an amorphous target: the political “left.”
Millennia ago, the Syrians repeatedly threatened to overwhelm and
destroy the tiny nation of Israel. Finally, the Hebrew king Ahab defeated
Syrian king Benhadad through God’s miraculous intervention. Benhadad
begged for mercy. Ahab naively spared his life, empowering them to
launch new offensives in the following years. King Ahab's dereliction
of duty did not escape notice by God or His prophet: “Because
you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction,
therefore, your life shall go for his life and your people for his
people.” (I Kings 20:31-43) Like Ahab, the Christian/conservative
right is letting ADL and SPLC go free to continue their religious,
ethnic blitz against Christian freedom and culture.
Jesus did not let the Pharisees, the spiritual ancestors of Jewish
supremacists, escape His condemnation. He denounced them to their faces
in the most "uncivil" way, vilifying them publicly as "hypocrites…whited
sepulchers full of dead men's bones," and with other language
which reverberates in its caustic condemnation.
What is the right course of action for Christian leaders, media,
even laymen (all who claim to follow Jesus and the Bible) in these
dangerous and controversial times?
Follow the Bible. The religious right must pattern itself after Jesus
and stop protecting ADL from criticism, as Ahab protected Benhadad.
Otherwise, the same sentence of judgment will be upon them.
