The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith

by Dr. William Pierce
National Alliance Chairman

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.

I'll have more to say on this subject later, but for now thanks for
being with me again today.
