American Dissident Voices Broadcast of July 31, 1999

Kennedy, Barak, and Revolution
by Dr. William Pierce

As much as possible I try to base my commentary on current
events -- on things which people presumably are thinking about
because they have been covered recently by the mainstream news
media. Last week, unfortunately, there was hardly anything on the
television screens besides scenes of the public lamentation,
breast-beating, and garment-rending associated with the latest
death in America's rottenest family -- well, second rottenest. I
am sure that something newsworthy must have happened during the
week, but it was crowded out by the Kennedy circus.

I was amazed at the extent of the spectacle: the expressions of
grief from all the major politicians and media celebrities, the
sidewalk interviews with the lemmings and couch potatoes of
various hues who had come out to gawk at the empty Kennedy
apartment in New York. It was as if the emperor had died, when in
fact it was only an arrogant, puffed-up rich boy who published a
slick, shallow, yuppie magazine as a hobby. It reminded me a bit
of the public and media reaction to the death of Princess Di last
year. She also was a bird-brained non-entity, but she was rich and
glamorous, and the rabble identified with her -- as apparently
also with John Kennedy, and so the media and the politicians
played along. Or maybe it was the other way around. Some media
spokesmen even gushed that the Kennedys
are -- quote -- "America's royal family." -- end quote -- This
reaction to Kennedy's death is an interesting phenomenon which may
merit some commentary later. 

All I could think about at the time, however, was that taking a
ride with a Kennedy has been bad luck for a number of young women.
I guess some people still remember Mary Jo Kopechne and
Chappaquiddick, but one never hears about the 17-year-old girl
whose back was broken when a car driven by another drunken Kennedy
overturned. Well, having enough money to pay off the families of
drowned and crippled girls has been important to the Kennedys, I
guess. At least, this time the responsible party didn't survive to
kill or cripple again.

The big news immediately before the Kennedy circus was the
triumphal visit of Ehud Barak to the United States. All of the
politicians in Washington were scrambling to do homage. There was
one state dinner or diplomatic banquet after another for the
visiting potentate from Israel. Bill Clinton followed him around
like an obedient puppy. This toad-like little Hebrew with his
barely intelligible English was being presented by the media as
the great hope for peace in the Middle East: a wonderful
improvement, we were told, over the previous top Hebrew, Benyamin
Netanyahu. How many times before have we heard this line?

Well, there's no need for me to go into the details of Barak's
grand tour over here. I'm sure that all of you saw that on
television until you were sick of it. The Barak visit does serve
to remind us of the absolute and total corruption of the gang
running our country, however. On July 18 Barak was interviewed on
NBC's program "Meet the Press." During that interview he
announced that none of the Palestinian refugees who had fled from
their homes during Israeli ethnic cleansing programs would be
permitted to return. That announcement received nothing but smiles
from the interviewers, and later it received nothing but smiles
from Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright, and other members of the
Clinton gang, who still were patting themselves on the back for
having bombed Serbia into submission, ostensibly so that Albanian
refugees could return to their homes in Serbia's Kosovo province. 

The Clinton gang would like for everyone to believe that its war
against Serbia was based on its opposition to ethnic cleansing and
its determination not to let the Serbs get away with chasing
Albanians back to Albania. But when the Jews in Israel do exactly
what the Serbs are accused of doing -- only more so, because
whereas the Serbs chased Albanians out of Serbia and back to
Albania, the Jews had chased Palestinians out of Palestine in
order to seize Palestinian land -- when the Jews engage in ethnic
cleansing the Clinton gang has not even a reprimand for them.
Instead Mr. Clinton told Barak during his visit that he would give
him $1.2 billion from the U.S. Treasury to compensate Israel for
the expenses involved in administering conquered Palestinian
territory. Mr. Clinton didn't announce this to the American
taxpayers who'll get the bill for this latest handout to Israel.
Instead he whispered it to Barak, who told the Israeli media,
which trumpeted the news triumphantly to the Jews of Israel in the
Hebrew-language press over there. The $1.2 billion from the
American taxpayers will be used to build roads linking illegal
Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory and to provide
additional military security for those illegal settlements,
according to the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot. Finally the
news appeared in a few newspapers in this country, quoting Yediot
Ahronot.

There's other news relative to the Clinton-Barak relationship
which never has appeared in the controlled media over here. For
example, there's the growing status in Israel of the tomb of
mass-murderer Baruch Goldstein. It has become an Israeli national
shrine, a sort of second Wailing Wall, with thousands of religious
Jews flocking there to worship and pay their respects. Baruch
Goldstein, remember, is the Jew from Brooklyn who went to Israel
so obsessed with Jewish racial hatred against the Palestinians
that he slaughtered 29 of them in February 1994 while they were
praying at the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron. Goldstein sneaked up
behind the Palestinians while they were kneeling in prayer and
opened fire with an assault rifle, killing 29 of them and wounding
another 60. The armed Jewish guards outside the mosque did not try
to stop him nor did they think it odd for a Jew to carry an
assault rifle into a mosque. In Israel many Jews carry assault
rifles in public; it is only in America that the Jews want to ban
assault rifles. Goldstein was killed by the surviving, unarmed
Palestinians in the mosque while he was attempting to reload his
rifle.

Goldstein became an instant national hero to the Jews, and many
Jewish tourists from America make a pilgrimage to his tomb near
Hebron. The tomb bears an inscription in Hebrew which in English
reads: "He gave his life for the people of Israel, its Torah,
and its land." The growing number of tourists and religious
Jews attracted to Goldstein's tomb has caused a public debate in
Israel: on the one hand there are the Israelis who are worried
that the public worship of a mass-murderer might not be good for
Israel's image in the United States if the goyim -- the
Gentiles -- who are financing Israel through their foreign aid
payments ever find out what's going on, and on the other hand
there are those Israelis who want to see the Goldstein cult
continue to grow because they are certain that the goyim are too
stupid ever to find out what's going on. 

This debate has been reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
from time to time during the past five years, but the controlled
mass media in the United States have carefully avoided the issue.
Mr. Clinton, of course, was fully aware of this debate during
Barak's visit -- he is briefed daily on such matters by the
National Security Agency and the CIA -- but he certainly did not
raise the issue with Barak during the latter's visit. Instead
Clinton was very busy urging the Congress to enact an expanded
"hate crimes" law that every Jewish group in the United
States has been demanding. I suppose that it would have been
insensitive of Clinton to raise the Baruch Goldstein issue at a
time when the Jews were all beating the drums for more severe
punishments for Gentiles who commit so-called "hate
crimes." Anyway, he didn't.

Another Israeli issue which has been kept out of the mass media in
America and out of the public consciousness here is what the
Israelis are doing in Lebanon these days. Israel, of course, still
maintains an occupation army inside southern Lebanon which has
been there since Israel's murderous invasion of that country in
1982. The Israelis also finance, arm, and give orders to a gang of
Christian Lebanese cut-throats called the Southern Lebanese Army,
or SLA. The SLA does much of Israel's dirty work of terror and
assassination in southern Lebanon. One of the regular tasks the
Jews have assigned to the SLA is the kidnapping of hostages, who
are held in a concentration camp in southern Lebanon until such
time as the Jews may want to engage in a prisoner exchange with
one or another group of Palestinian or Islamic freedom fighters.
The Jews refer to these kidnap victims as "bargaining
chips." The camp where the SLA keeps the hostages for the
Israelis is notorious in Lebanon for the torture which takes place
there. Occasionally hostages escape or are exchanged for Mossad
agents who have been caught in any Middle Eastern country, and
these former hostages have told their stories to journalists in
other countries. They also have told their stories to American
journalists, but these stories are never permitted to appear in
print in America. Most Americans don't even realize that the
Israelis still have an occupation army on Lebanese territory. But
we all heard Ehud Barak congratulate Bill Clinton for his role in
stamping out what Barak referred to as "Serb aggression."
That "aggression," of course, was the Serb effort to
restore order inside their own country after an insurrection by
the so-called "Kosovo Liberation Army." It's nice to see
that Mr. Barak has plenty of what the Jews proudly call chutzpah.

None of these things I've just mentioned in relation to Ehud
Barak's visit to the United States are ancient history. They are
all things which are happening now: Barak's statement that the
Palestinian refugees the Jews ethnically cleansed when they seized
Palestinian land will not be permitted to return to their homes is
a statement about current Israeli policy; the statement was made
just a few days ago, while Mr. Clinton was fawning over Mr. Barak
and throwing a state banquet for him on the White House lawn. The
debate in Israel about whether the growing cult associated with
the tomb of mass-murderer Baruch Goldstein is a good thing or not
is going on right now and was going on while Barak was making his
triumphal tour of the United States. And Palestinian hostages
kidnapped by the Southern Lebanon Army at the behest of Israel are
being tortured now, today, and Ehud Barak is the man in charge of
the kidnapping and torture. 

So perhaps you believe I'm reminding you of these things because I
like to beat up on Israel. Really, that isn't my principal reason.
I don't especially need to beat up on Israel because Israel
already is despised by decent and knowledgeable people almost
everywhere. Of course, that doesn't include the people in the
media and the government in this country, or America's couch
potatoes, who don't listen to American Dissident Voices broadcasts
anyway. 

The reason these things I've mentioned today are interesting to us
is not because of what they tell us about Israel or Ehud Barak,
but because of what they tell us about the mass media and the
government here. With the exception of the question about
Palestinian refugees which was asked Barak in his July 18
interview on "Meet the Press," the controlled news media
in the United States have kept quiet about all these things. And
even Barak's breathtakingly arrogant statement on "Meet the
Press" that Palestinian refugees who had been ethnically
cleansed by the Israelis would not be permitted to return to their
homes -- even this really didn't hurt the Jews appreciably. 

To get even the simplest message into the consciousness of the
average American voter, it has to be repeated at least 14 times.
He needs to have Tom Brokaw explain to him, every night for at
lest two weeks, that Ehud Barak has the same policy toward
refugees that Slobodan Milosevic had, ostensibly the policy for
which we bombed Serb schools and Serb hospitals mercilessly before
invading Serbia so that we could force the Serbs to permit the
return of refugees to their homes. He has to see the disapproving
expression on Brokaw's face and hear the disapproving tone in
Brokaw's voice to understand that Ehud Barak's policy of ethnic
cleansing in Palestine makes Barak a bad man, like it made
Milosevic a bad man. He has to see a TV reporter interviewing
passersby on the sidewalk and hearing their disapproving opinions
before he feels it safe to have a disapproving opinion of Barak's
policy himself. And after all of this preparation he then needs to
be led by the hand to the conclusion that the sauce which is good
for the goose is also good for the gander. He needs to told
explicitly that his government should not be giving billions of
dollars every year to Israel for doing the same thing we bombed
and invaded Serbia for; that the Clinton administration should not
be hosting White House banquets for Ehud Barak while pursuing
Slobodan Milosevic as a war criminal. If he's not told these
things explicitly and repeatedly the average American voter won't
get it. 

But Mr. Clinton certainly gets it. Everyone in a policymaking
position in the Clinton government gets it. Everyone in an
editorial position in the news media gets it. These people are
crooked, but they're not stupid. They are criminals, but they do
understand what they're doing. And it's important for us to
understand that they understand what they're doing. 

I don't want to insult your intelligence by telling you this 14
times, but I'll tell you just one more time now, because it is
important. The government we have in Washington now -- this
monstrous thing which has mutated and devolved from the government
set up by the Founding Fathers of this country -- cannot and
should not be reformed or repaired or salvaged. It should be
pulled down and have a stake driven through its heart. Everyone
who is a part of it should be dealt with in the same way. You
don't reason with people like Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright.
You don't explain to a Senator Kennedy or an Al Gore or to a judge
of the Supreme Court or to any other Washington politician or
bureaucrat that his policies are harmful to America. He will
simply think that you are crazy. I mean, who cares about what's
harmful to America? That's completely irrelevant to the people in
Washington. If you want to make an impression on anyone in
Washington today, you must convince him that you are willing and
able either to hurt him or to help him. 

That's the way the government works now. Lobbyists attempt to
persuade politicians and bureaucrats that it will be to their
advantage to adopt the policy favored by the lobbyist -- or to
their disadvantage not to adopt it. Politicians bargain with their
fellow politicians: you vote for this, and I'll vote for that. And
looming above everything else is the power of the controlled mass
media to make or break any career. 

Even patriots have played this game, with letter-writing campaigns
to the Congress, with donations to lobbying organizations, with
rallies for one candidate or another. But to play the game is
simply to feed the beast, when what we need to do is kill the
beast. And you know, this is not a theoretical discussion. The
beast -- the government in Washington -- kills people. It kills
our people every day. It starts wars to enforce its will. It fires
cruise missiles at those who defy it. And it makes policies which
kill us and our kinsmen as surely as one of their bombs or
missiles does. The 14 Serb farmers who were slaughtered in their
field while trying to bring in their wheat last week were just as
surely murdered by the government in Washington which chased the
Serb police and the Serb army out of Kosovo province and left the
Serbs there at the mercy of KLA gangsters as were the Serb women
and children in Belgrade on whom our warplanes dropped cluster
bombs a few weeks earlier. The women who are raped by non-Whites
in our cities every day, the people who are murdered by non-White
criminals every day, are just as much the victims of the
Washington government as are the murdered wife and child of Randy
Weaver or the murdered church members in Waco. They are victims of
the immigration policies and the "diversity" policies and
the so-called "civil rights" policies of the government. 

The government kills people. And when we play the government's
game we become accomplices. We become accessories to
murder -- just as surely as the members of the Clinton
administration and the members of both parties in the Congress
become accessories to the murders committed by Baruch Goldstein
when they support the policies of the government of Israel or vote
to give money to Israel. 

Everybody is familiar with the cliche about politics being a dirty
business. Everyone expects politicians to lie and bureaucrats to
be hypocrites. And people believe that we just have to put up with
this, that this is just something inherent in all government, that
there's nothing we can do about it. But that attitude is
dangerously wrong. The situation in Washington has gone far beyond
the point where we merely get our hands a little dirty when we
collaborate with the government. This government is pushing us to
the brink. This government is not just corrupt; it is terminally
rotten. It is pathological. It is like a mad dog that must be put
down -- and soon.

And perhaps it seems that I simply accentuate our impotence as
citizens when I say things like that, because none of us
individually has the power, the means, to put down this sick and
destructive beast in Washington. And I know that some people
believe that there's nothing we can do about the government, so we
shouldn't waste time talking about it. 

Well, even though no one of us can singlehandedly drive the stake
through its heart, we still can fight the beast, and by fighting
it we can bring closer the day when many of us working together
finally will be able to drive the stake home. It is useful even
now to speak out strongly against the Washington government, to
force people to recognize its crookedness and its destructiveness
by holding up examples of the sort I have held up today. 

Too many people are afraid of the government, afraid that the FBI
will get their names on some sort of "enemies list,"
afraid that the government will retaliate against them the way it
did against Randy Weaver's family. But that is a coward's excuse.
We should not be thinking about the ways the government may hurt
us; we should be thinking about the ways we can hurt the
government and those who collaborate with it. We should make the
government fear us. And if enough of us speak out, if enough of us
talk just about the things I have touched on today, the government
and its collaborators will fear us.
