- Is Howard Dean advancing Zionist Newspeak?
-
- Newspeak - "The official language of Oceania, {in
George Orwell's 1984}. Newspeak is "politically correct" speech
taken to its maximum extent. Newspeak is based on Standard English, but
all words describing "unorthodox" political ideas have been removed.
In addition, there was an attempt to remove the overall number of words
in general, to limit the range of ideas that could be expressed."
-
- It's a bad omen for America's First Amendment when Howard
Dean, a high-profile American politician acting in his official capacity
as DNC Chairman, warns and browbeats his colleagues into accepting, on
no uncertain terms, that criticism of Israel is equivalent to anti-Semitism.
One very possible consequence: A mainstream politician, who is critical
of Israel, can now easily be labeled an 'anti-Semite' and forfeit his career.
-
- From: "DNC Chairman Statement on Anti-Semitic Literature"
- http://democrats.org/news/200506170001.html
-
- Here's the statement Howard Dean Officially ISSUED:
-
- "Yesterday members of the Judiciary Committee held
an important hearing on the so-called Downing Street Memo and its implications.
Unfortunately, some members of the audience took it upon themselves to
distribute anti-Semitic literature at the Wasserman Conference room where
an overflow crowd observed the proceedings on television. We {one can assume
Dean means ALL DEMOCRATS} disavow the anti-Semitic literature, and the
Democratic National Committee stands in absolute disagreement with and
condemns the allegations.
-
- "As Americans we believe in the right to free speech,
and as Democrats we open our doors to a variety of opinions and perspectives
from our fellow Americans. Unlike the current administration, we do not
believe that closed hearings, restricted audiences, and carefully scripted
meetings are good for our democracy. But anti-Semitism and bigotry are
unacceptable and un-American, and they have no place in civil political
discourse. As for any inferences that the United States went to war so
Israel could 'dominate' the Middle East or that Israel was in any way behind
the horrific September 11th attacks on America, let me say unequivocally
that such statements are nothing but vile, anti-Semitic rhetoric. The inferences
are destructive and counter productive, and have taken away from the true
purpose of the Judiciary Committee Members' meeting. The entire Democratic
Party remains committed to fighting against such bigotry." (emphasis
mine)
-
- I think we can all agree that Mr. Dean is speaking as
DNC, and not merely stating his personal beliefs. That being said, he appears
to COMPLETELY embrace the idea that criticism of Israel equals anti-Semitism.
Mr. Dean appears to zealously, with unwavering conviction, support the
ideas he's espousing.
-
- What about the allegation that 'anti-Semitic' literature
was distributed at the hearing? Based within the context of Dean's statement,
I can only assume that literature critical of Israel's policies or suspicious
of Israeli motives is what was considered anti-Semitic literature.
-
- Dean: "As Americans we believe in the right to free
speech, and as Democrats we open our doors to a variety of opinions and
perspectives from our fellow Americans."
- Dean professes to believe "in the right to free
speech" and "to a variety of opinions and perspectives...."
Yet, he condemns criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism. Looks like Orwellian
DOUBLETHINK to me!
-
- "dou*ble*think ('d&-b&l-"thi[ng]k),
noun, Date: 1949 : a simultaneous belief in two contradictory ideas."
-
- If Dean's pronouncements of what constitutes anti-Semitism,
which coincidentally echos Merriam-Webster's expanded definition of anti-Semitism
(see definition #2 below) becomes unofficial, de facto policy in Washington:
HOW ON EARTH CAN CONGRESS HONESTLY DEBATE ISSUES, VIS A` VIS ISRAEL AND
AT THE SAME TIME REFRAIN FROM CRITICISM OF ISRAEL'S POLICIES? THEIR TREATMENT
OF THE PALESTINIANS, OR THE USS LIBERTY INCIDENT, FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS,
AND SPYING ON THE U.S. WHILE RECEIVING USA MILITARY/MONETARY AID (really
grants) ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES THAT COME TO MIND.
-
- For those of you who need to update your 'working' definition
of anti-Semitism:
- The Third New International Merriam-Webster Dictionary,
Unabridged, defines "anti-Semitism" as: "1: Hostility toward
Jews as a religious or racial minority group often accompanied by social,
economic, and political discrimination". And "2: Opposition to
Zionism: sympathy with opponents of the state of Israel".
-
- Here's a rebuttal to Mr. Dean's official statement on
anti-Semitism:
- Read: "The DNC Chairman who Cried anti-Semite"
- http://holocaustnow.blogspot.com/2005/06/dnc-
chairman-who-cried-anti-semite.html
-
- Now couple the new incendiary, open-ended definition
of anti-Semitism with this fact: "Anti-Semitism office planned at
State Department." http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/
20041014-121528-8981r.htm
-
- Why is the US State Department tracking international
anti-Semitism? Isn't that a job for Israel's State Department? Have I
missed something here?
-
- "President Bush plans to sign a bill passed by both
houses of Congress that would establish a State Department office to monitor
anti-Semitism around the world, despite the department's strong objection,
administration officials said yesterday."
-
- Did you know?
-
- "The House and Senate, acting shortly before the
Nov. 2 election, passed the Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act..."
- http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/

-
-
- I smell a Trojan Horse. Is a devastatingly, deceptive
political weapon being constructed, right under our noses? A weapon that
will be unleashed by 'our' government against us: the slumbering, unwashed
masses a.k.a. "useless feeders." Should we be preparing for
Zionist re-education camps in the near future?
-
- According to Dean's definition of anti-Semitism, wouldn't
the USA Government's not giving ENOUGH money to Israel, per Israel's demand,
constitute criticism of Israel and therefore constitute prima-facie evidence
of Congressional anti-Semitism? Isn't Dean's lecture a signal that criticism
of Israel won't be tolerated ... period! It sounds to me like Dean is
publicly, on record, making it unequivocal that if you value your career
you'll play the game Israel's way. I'm actually thankful to Mr. Dean for
ILLUMINATING the definition of anti-Semite; If we don't get the Zionist,
game plan NOW we NEVER will. Make no mistake about it-- the definition
of the term anti-Semite has the power to make you a THOUGHT CRIMINAL.
-
- Prior to the 2004 Presidential elections, it had been
reported, by various internet news sources, that Howard Dean is married
to a Jewess (a doctor), and that his children are being raised Jewish as
well. His family background information is important, because, perhaps
this is partly the source of his staunch support for Israel.
-
- Moreover, Dean's record reflects that he's been an avid
and outspoken supporter of Israel (a Zionist) for quite sometime. Consider
the following statement by Dean from a 2003 article: "Dean Not Progressive
on Mideast" By Ahmed Nassef
- http://www.alternet.org/story/16280
-
- "And when asked whether his views are closer to
the dovish Americans for Peace Now (APN) or the right-wing, Sharon-supporting
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), he stated unequivocally
in an interview with the Jewish weekly The Forward, ' My view is closer
to AIPAC's view'."
-
- Or this from: CommonDreams.org,
-
- Howard Dean: "Hawk in Dove's Clothing?"
- By Stephen Zunes
-
- "When it came to Israel and Palestine - the former
Vermont governor declared that, while the United States should become more
engaged, he did not have any fundamental objections with President George
W. Bush's policies. Dean called for an end to Palestinian violence against
Israeli civilians, but he did not call for a cessation of Israeli violence
against Palestinian civilians. Similarly, there was no call for an end
of the Israeli occupation, for Israeli compliance with UN Security Council
resolutions, or a withdrawal from Israel's illegal settlements in the occupied
territories or even a freeze on the construction of new settlements."
-
- Most importantly, notice how the 'new and improved'
definition of anti-Semitism is being used by Dean to intimidate his colleagues
and stifle open-debate. Dean has SHAMELESSLY promoted the expanded and
anti-First Amendment meaning of anti-Semitism to include any inferences,
factual or speculative that implicate Israel in 9-11.
-
- According to Dean's definition, you're an anti Semite
for merely suggesting that Israel is benefiting (via USA proxy) from the
Iraq war, or that Israel desires to dominate the Middle East (think Greater
Israel).
-
- Again, here's Dean's words: " . . . but anti-Semitism
and bigotry are unacceptable and un-American, and they have no place in
civil political discourse. As for any inferences that the United States
went to war so Israel could 'dominate' the Middle East or that Israel was
in any way behind the horrific September 11th attacks on America, let me
say unequivocally that such statements are nothing but vile, anti-Semitic
rhetoric."
-
- I suspect Dean's OFFICIAL statement regarding anti-Semitism
was essentially part of a calculated, opportunistic, political ploy. Dean
shrewdly and forcefully used his position as DNC Chairman, to instill an
new and twisted definition of anti-Semitism, based on the allegation that
literature critical of Israel was being circulated at the Judiciary Committee
Meeting, to advance a critical component of the overall Zionist agenda
of unbridled political power. I believe the critical component is: the
Zionist goal of broadening the definition of anti-Semitism until it encompasses
ANY and ALL criticism of Israel, Zionism, or International, Organized Jewry.
-
- Once the definition of anti-Semitism has ripened to provide
political and moral cover for Zionist crimes against humanity, the definition
will quickly loose its plasticity and will forever be set in stone. The
end game of all this parsing and maneuvering is ultimately to transform
'anti-Semitism' into an all-encompassing legal concept that will provide
the basis for 'HATE' CRIMES legislation in America.
-
- Then the force of the STATE, the USA, 'YOUR' GOVERNMENT,
can and WILL be used against you to benefit Zionism and Israel. 'HATE'
CRIMES will enable the STATE to fine, imprison, and punish those of us
who think the wrong kinds of thoughts, according to Zionists. In short,
many of us will wind up as political prisoners. I can't think of a better,
more devious, and cowardly way to neutralize one's political opponents--can
you?
-
- It's the classic PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION strategy.
Once the State Department OFFICIALLY announces that there's been astronomical
growth in anti-Semitism, (based on the new definition) and they've got
the numbers -- the PROBLEM phase is complete. The REACTION: anti-Semitism
needs to be curbed before it manifests as violent acts against Jews. We
cannot tolerate anti-Semitism on ANY level. SOLUTION: Hate Crime laws are
passed. REALITY: Say good-bye to the First Amendment.
-
- Let's be clear. A 'HATE' CRIME is nothing more or less
than an Orwellian thought crime. Hate Crime laws are the antithesis of
"freedom of expression." HATE CRIME laws are un-American, and
have no place in American Society or any FREE society.
