Anti-Defamation League is a New York-based, tax-exempt Jewish-Zionist religious organization with affiliates in forty-two countries and claims to be one of the premier civil rights organizations in the world. Allegedly, ending discrimination and securing equal rights for all are among its main goals. Undoubtedly, the sociopolitical agenda of the ADL reflects the wishes of a significant portion of the world Jewish Community. It was founded by the B'nai B'rith.

[edit] Founding

The ADL's charter states that it was founded in October 1913 by Sigmund Livingston. He established the ADL in direct response to the case of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager living in the state of Georgia who had been arrested and convicted in 1913 for the rape and murder of Mary Phagan and then kidnapped from prison and lynched by a mob in 1915.


[edit] Truth Of The ADL

The ADL preaches racial integration, racial equality and multiculturalism; one of their most popular slogans is: "Diversity is our greatest strength". This highly influential pressure group sponsors activities that urge people to reject racial division, and it condemns discrimination against Jews in housing as an an insidious form of anti-Semitism. A major focus of their activity in the US during the 1960s was the implementing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This legislation helped create a racially integrated society in the US.

The ADL allegedly rejects all forms of "racial domination," that is, any situation where one ethnic group dominates another, and they are especially hostile toward all manifestations of "white supremacy." Where different ethnic groups coexist in the same nation, the ADL appears to be a strong advocate of an integrated society in which all ethnic groups function as social and political equals.

Critics however have claimed that this ADL "moral agenda" is, for the most part, an ideological facade, a method by which to surreptitiously advance Jewish-Zionist interests under the guise of morality. According to this viewpoint, public opposition to racial/ethnic discrimination is being used in the service of the ADL's Jewish-Zionist ethnic/cultural nationalism. The ADL preaches universalistic equality and racial/ethnic mixing for non-Jews while maintaining an exclusivist-separatist group identity for Jews. Judaism has been characterized by genetic and cultural separation from others, and an explicit double standard of morality altruism and cooperation among Jews, but competition with non-Jews.

According to this viewpoint, the Jewish Communities that reside outside of Israel where Jews are a minority need a nation that tolerates their long-term policy of non-assimilation and group solidarity. In a racially integrated society composed of a variety different and competing ethnic groups, all with divergent interests, it is very difficult to develop a cohesive Gentile movement that is opposed to organized Jewry. Additionally, in racially integrated societies outside of Israel in which the surrounding Gentiles have only a week and feeble sense of their own racial/cultural/religious identity, Jews are less likely to be identified as a hostile, non-assimilable, and alien element. As a consequence, in racially integrated, multicultural societies outside of Israel, Jews can gain power and influence.

For years, through LEARN, the ADL has worked to infiltrate not only federal law enforcement (evidenced by its long-time intertwinement with elements in the FBI) but also at the local level, a point explored in this author’s work, The Judas Goats.

Shocking revelations about ADL infiltration of local police agencies in California (and elsewhere) emerged in 1993 when it was discovered police officers in California had been providing classified law enforcement files to the ADL.

This came to public attention after—ironically—both the San Francisco Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department organized raids on ADL offices in their cities to determine if any of their files had been illegally procured by theADL with the illicit cooperation of police officers who—either willingly or having been compromised by the ADL—had provided such material to the foreign pressure group. Obviously, some honest lawmen objected to the ADL’s activities and were working to bring the ADL to heel.

The resulting scandal —also described in The Judas Goats—unveiled extensive illegal domestic spying by ADL on law-abiding Americans whose only crime was to raise criticism of U.S. support for Israel—was actually reported in detail in daily newspapers in San Francisco and Los Angeles and even referenced on ABC News, perhaps the first time in history anything negative about the ADL was ever described to a mass audience.

It was also revealed that a San Diego County deputy sheriff, Tim Carroll, had a long-standing relationship with the ADL, doing “favors” for the ADL that, in turn, among other things, treated Carroll to at least one allexpenses paid junket to the Middle East. So ADL infiltration of California law enforcement was both deep and wide-ranging.

San Francisco District Attorney, Arlo Smith, was actually preparing criminal charges against the ADL, but pressure from the Jewish community forced him to back off. However, former Rep. Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.) spearheaded a civil lawsuit against the ADL on behalf of several plaintiffs who had been victimized by the ADL and forced the ADL into an out-of-court settlement to the tune of $150,000.

ADL Battles Internet Free Speech

"It is up to you and me, not the President, to save freedom."

By Rev. Ted Pike

Canadian hate laws are now hitting their intended target: Christianity.

On Oct. 26 a 21-year-old Canadian woman, Jessica Beaumont, was fined $1500 for posting online two Bible verses critical of homosexuality. She was also required to pay $3000 to professional complainer Richard Warman who brought charges against her. Her crime? She derisively called him "a Jew."

Jessica posted these verses, which, of course, could be found on any Bible website: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." (Lev.18:22) "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their heads." (Lev. 20:13)

The court ruled: Ms. Beaumont claimed, during her testimony, that she based this comment on her interpretation of a passage in the Bible, adding that she did not care if Jews would be offended by her ideas. However, irrespective of whether she 'cares' or not, s.13 of the Act dictates that the repeated communication via the internet of matter that is likely to expose targeted groups to hatred or contempt constitutes a discriminatory practice. Whether the person communicating the matter was in fact its author is immaterial. The mere act of communicating the material or causing its communication attracts liability under this Act. 1

Beaumont was ordered to never again post Scripture critical of homosexuals or any other specially protected group, including Jews. She faces prison if she disobeys.

Jessica claims Nazi sympathies. Yet that should not distract us from the fact that Bible verses caused her conviction. As the world moves toward hate crimes persecution, hate law enforcers usually select victims with extremist views. They know society will not help these people but will probably rejoice at their conviction! But the free speech rights of every person are diminished by the legal precedents meted against extremists.

Persecution of Biblically based "hate" (i.e., Christianity) is the ultimate goal of B’nai B’rith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress, creators of Canada 's federal hate crime law in 1971. In Canada , these extensions of ADL possess a powerful tool: federal law banning internet criticism of Jews and homosexuals. Section 13.1 outlaws communications "likely" to incite hatred or contempt of members of a federally protected group. ADL possesses similar statutory tools banning "cyberhate" in most European countries.

Strategies to End Internet Freedom

But in the U.S. , ADL faces stiff First Amendment opposition to censorship. Here they try other strategies to end free speech in America :

  1. ADL puts pressure on search engines like Google to filter out websites which criticize Zionism or homosexuality. So far, it has not succeeded. Recently, Google's Israeli representative, Meir Brand, flatly repulsed ADL requests to ban internet criticism of Zionism. (link to article) ADL has been similarly rebuffed in the United States . This means scores of videos critical of Zionism and homosexuality, including my four, still bring light via the internet into encroaching darkness.
  2. Many teens using the internet are victims of online bullies. ADL wants to create a false mental link between "cyber-bullying" and hate speech. Through its new program against online bullying, ADL feigns compassion for these young people. What ADL really wants is to link cyber-bullying with cyberhate and gain power to advise government on “protecting” vulnerable teens from criticism of Israel, Jewish control of media or the accuracy of the six-million figure of Holocaust dead.
  3. Through privatizing the internet, cable and phone companies sympathetic to ADL may be able to discriminate against, and ultimately help eliminate, “hate sites.” These companies include Verizon and Comcast, headed respectively by ADL/Zionist sympathizers Ivan Seidenburg and Brian Roberts. Jewish recipients of ADL/Wiesenthal "tolerance” awards, they could provide a form of censorship without legislation. (See, Threats to a Free Internet).
  4. ADL wants to re-define internet free speech as "home-grown terrorism." Already, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1955, designed to set up a federal commission to "eradicate" the "cyber-terrorism" which this bill alleges “streams” from the internet. This primarily alludes to anti-Zionist alternative internet talk radio. The federal commission, if approved by the Senate and the President, will construe politically incorrect speech on the internet as words that hurt, i.e., "verbal violence.” H.R. 1955 says this speech incites extremists to "radicalization," i.e., acts of violence. Ultimately, as in Canada , such expression, in order to be prosecuted, need only be thought "likely" to cause intimidation of members of federally protected groups. (See, In Search of 'Homegrown Terrorists')
  5. ADL also considers massive propaganda against critics of Israel or homosexuality as a weapon against “cyberhate.” Some ADL cyber-experts, such as Christopher Wolf, head of INACH (ADL's worldwide "Institute against Cyberhate"), believe education against homophobia and anti-Semitism is the best solution. We should remember that, as we are seeing in Canada , it is not skinheads and Nazis whom the ADL really deplores; it is evangelical Christians. ADL has already smeared Traditional Values Coalition as hateful and implies that other new right websites, such as Focus on the Family and Family Research Council, which "portray gays and lesbians as subhuman in the guise of promoting so-called 'family values' …” should be removed from the internet.


By far, ADL's greatest hope for ending free speech on the Internet is the federal hate crimes bill, now passed by both houses of Congress and awaiting approval or veto by Pres. Bush.

In Canada , ADL/B'nai B'rith persuaded Parliament to pass their hate bill in 1971. It was a small matter a few years later, with arrival of the internet, to also pass Section 13.1, extending it to internet control. The same will happen here if the hate bill becomes law.

Ray of Hope

With both Republicans and Democrats dissatisfied with the National Defense Appropriations Act, H.R. 1585, to which the hate bill is attached, there is a growing inclination within Congress to reject this arms bill and create a new one after the first of the year. (See, article by Lou Chibbaro Jr.) Then the hate bill, either as an amendment or on its own, would probably have to be approved again by Congress.

Such approval is certain if new right leaders and the American people remain confident of a Presidential veto and do as little as they did to protest hate bill passage by the Senate on Sept. 27. (Watch Pike's Video Report Betrayed: How New Right Leaders Helped Pass the Hate Bill) Yet if we learn from our mistake and demand the arms and hate bill be voted down, we may yet redeem this second chance to save freedom.

It is unbelievable how close we are to losing liberty! The hate bill, as no other legislation in American history, will accomplish that. Since the arms bill may be overdue five months or longer, primarily through Democratic opposition, this will almost certainly require Pres. Bush, desperate to supply funds for the military, to cancel his promise to veto the hate bill. This means that right now we have no real hope of a Presidential veto.

It is up to you and me, not the President, to save freedom. Call your members of the Senate and House immediately saying: Please reject the National Defense Appropriations Act, HR 1585, with hate bill attached. Don’t vote for any hate crimes legislation.

And, of course, call to God. We face sinister and devious political maneuvers from Democratic leaders which could yet make possible hate bill passage. But God is ready and willing to help save America . That is, if enough Americans are ready and willing to turn from sin and trust in His mercies.

[edit] Other Controversies

On April 28, 2000, a Colorado jury ruled against the ADL and awarded $10.5 million in damages, mostly punitive. In the mid 1990s, the ADL had, ironically, publicly defamed the plaintiffs, calling them anti-Semites.[1]

Prior to August of 2007, the ADL gained some notoriety for denying the occurrence of the Armenian Genocide. However, Abe Foxman has since issued a statement admitting that the action of the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians were equal to genocide.[2]



[edit] Motive

If the primary motive of the ADL was to promote racial equality and multiculturalism and to work for the end of all forms of racial and ethnic supremacy, then it should be expected that they would promote this agenda in Israel (where Jews are a majority) just as ardently as they promote it everywhere else in the world (where Jews are a minority). But this is not the case. For the most part, the ADL promotes racial integration and multiculturalism everywhere outside of Israel because it actually advances Jewish-nationalism, and enables Jews to acquire power and influence in predominantly non-Jewish societies. That is, Universalism and calls for "racial equality" are used to serve sectarian Jewish nationalism. It is hard to believe that they sincerely believe in the ideals of racial equality and multiculturalism when they are the most ardent supporters of Israel, a separate and unequal society in which discrimination is part of the established social order and Jewish supremacism is enshrined in law.

[edit] Abe Foxman

The ADL's head and master of espionage.

[edit] Roy Bullock

The ADL's paid informant who rummaged through trash for decades for the ADL, until he was given the sensitive position of being the conduit for stolen police files coming from the San Francisco Police Department by way of Tom Gerard. He was paid $550 per week for his services. Also an associate of racist sheriff Tim Carroll. His existance was discovered after the FBI raids on ADL offices in 1993 and resulted in the publicizing of 750 pages of information on the spying operations of the ADL.

[edit] Tom Gerard

San Francisco Police Officer who stole sensitive, confidential files from his agency and gave them to Roy Bullock to assist ADL's spying operations on Americans. Among files stolen were ones on the Black Muslims, Arabs and right-wing organizations that were in any way critical of ADL. Received an all-expense paid luxury vacation in Israel, courtesy of the ADL.

[edit] Tim Carroll

Racist ex-detective in San Diego's Sheriff Department. Remarked in 1993 that he would like to see "all illegal aliens shot" and "all the n**gers sent back to Africa on a banana boat." An associate of both Roy Bullock and Tom Gerard. He mysteriously retired from the Sheriff's Department after the raids on the ADL offices at the early age of 54. Also received an all-expense paid luxury vacation in Israel, courtesy of the ADL. Despite his overtly racist nature, he was put in charge of security at the ADL's National Convention in September, 1997 using strong-arm tactics against participants and visitors. This is interesting considering it was his bumbling confessions to an investigator that led to the raids on the ADL.

[edit] Mira Lansky Boland

The "law-enforcement liasion" for the ADL. She arranged luxurious trips to Israel for certain key police officers who could have something to offer the ADL in return. Among these were file thief Tom Gerard and racist Tim Carroll. She is uniquely positioned in that she is the granddaughter of Meyer Lansky, one of the most powerful mafia figures in US history.

[edit] Hugh Hefner

Famous pornographer who was honored by the ADL with its ridiculous "Torch of Freedom" award. From him proceeds protection for all pornography in this country, which is and has always been associated with vice elements like the mob and ADL.

[edit] Larry Flynt

This pornographer is a major contributor to the ADL of 100,000s of dollars. He has been jailed often for "obscene pornography" and the general hideous defiling of women in his Hustler magazine (whose description is beyond the limits allowed on an AOL web page).

[edit] Theodore Silbert

Mob associate of Meyer Lansky, employee of the ADL and mafia front "Sterling Bank." Was simultaneously the CEO of "Sterling Bank" and National Commisioner of the ADL.

[edit] Moe Dalitz

Las Vegas mob figure and close associate of Meyer Lansky who was honored by the ADL in 1985.

[edit] Milken Family Fund

Billion dollar fund that has given extensively to the ADL, the money of which was made in the "junk bond" scandals.

[edit] Morris Casuto

Southwestern Director of the ADL who personally trains freshmen law enforcement to do the bidding of him and his criminally indicted organization. Morris Casuto is also close friends with racist Tim Carroll.
