Mayday! Mayday! US liberty is going down!
On Wednesday, May 1, 2024 the House of Representatives passed the “Antisemitism Awareness Act.” The bill deems a long list of ideas about history, philosophy, religion, sociology, and current events (many of them at least roughly accurate and truthful) as illegal under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. By adopting the ludicrous International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism as the law of the land, the House effectively revoked the First Amendment.
If the Senate and Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden approve, it will be effectively illegal to notice that:
*The State of Israel is a racist endeavor. (Which is putting it mildly.)
*According to the Bible, Talmud, and Qur’an, Jews plotted to kill Jesus.
*Jews “control” i.e. exercise disproportionate power over the US media, financial sector, and government.
*Jews as a collective or tribe bear a degree of responsibility for actions of the self-proclaimed Jewish state of Israel, where all racially-defined Jews are presumptive citizens, regardless of where they were born or currently live.
*Many though not all Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their own nations.
*The State of Israel, and to a degree the larger Jewish nation or tribe, has grossly exaggerated their own suffering, and minimized or denied the suffering of non-Jews (especially Germans) by way of their sacred Holocaust narrative, which they have inflicted on the Western world due to their disproportionate power. (They also minimize Persian suffering with their Purim story, and Egyptian suffering with their Passover story, but people are allowed to question those.)
The above propositions are inarguable. Nobody positing the contrary could possibly win a far debate against a competent opponent. And yet, under the Antisemitism Awareness Act, all such statements, no matter how obviously true they may be, will be illegal.
That the illegal statements are true, of course, is the whole point. Nobody would bother to ban ideas that can be cogently refuted. Banning the truth is the last refuge of a liar who has been exposed.
I Thought Jews Were Supposed to Be Good at PR
From a PR standpoint, the “Jewish Billionaires Ban the Truth Law” is not a smart move. Roughly 100 US college campuses, and more and more elsewhere, are being hammered with billionaire-donor-driven over-the-top repression of their peaceful anti-genocide demonstrations—a painful, bloody reminder of the reality of Jewish Power. All of those demonstrators, many of whom are Jewish, have already figured out that “the State of Israel is a racist endeavor.” And one of the reasons young Jews are disproportionately participating in the anti-genocide demonstrations is that they agree that “Jews as a collective or tribe bear a degree of responsibility for actions of the self-proclaimed Jewish state of Israel.”
The students already know that they are being lied to, and that the truth has now been made illegal, regarding those two points. So what else, the students will wonder, might “they” be lying about?
Any students taking Religious Studies 101 classes will learn that the Bible, Talmud, and Qur’an all assert that Jews plotted to kill Jesus. Will all the Religious Studies textbooks be rewritten to blame Hamas?
This is not going to be an easy sell.
The students will probably figure out the ethnicity of the billionaires who sicced the trained-in-Israel attack-cops, and the JDL thugs, on their encampments. They won’t be able to avoid noticing who owns the politicians—and just bribed them to revoke the First Amendment. With rabid Zionist Jews like Mark Levin snarling “we own this country” (meaning the USA) and threatening to deport anyone who opposes them, the notion that elite Jews dominate the US media, financial sector, and government becomes less a trope than a truism.
As they start to get a sense of what they are up against, the more thoughtful students may start to wonder if the Holocaust is really the one and only thing the Constitution-shredding Jewish-Zionist billionaires are telling the truth about. Those who perform even a cursory preliminary investigation will discover that there appears to be a very good reason why debating this particular historical episode had to be made illegal.
Ironically, the Antisemitism Awareness Act may succeed in raising awareness about positions deemed “anti-Semitic”—awareness of the truth of those very propositions. Presumably that is not the kind of “awareness” that the Zionist billionaires behind the Act intended.
They Need a Better PR Strategy
The Jewish-Zionist billionaires’ strategy of focusing attention on the negative aspects of their culture in general, and their pet genocide project in particular, is self-defeating: “Israel is racist. Can’t say that! We rich Jews own America and can push Constitution-shredding laws through Congress. Can’t say that! We killed Jesus. Can’t say that!” That’s like if MacDonalds launched an ad campaign along the lines of: “Our hamburgers taste like shit. Can’t say that! Our high-fructose soft drinks make you obese. Can’t say that! The cows and chickens you’re eating led horrifically miserable lives. Can’t say that ‘cause it’s illegal, you anti-MacDonaldsite!”
Instead of working overtime to highlight their own negatives, Jews would do better to highlight positives. If I were a Jewish billionaire, I would cut my losses and ram a Philosemitism Awareness Act through Congress. Instead of banning people from noticing negative aspects of Jewish political and tribal culture, it would reward noticing good things. IRS forms would be amended so you would be paid a $100 tax credit for each box you ticked affirming such statements as: “Most Jews are actually nice, normal people.” “Jewish culture puts a premium on education.” “Jews are high achievers in many fields, most of which are legal and some of which are even admirable.” Tax credits for philosemites would constitute a friendly “nudge” in the Cass Sunstein sense.
You might argue it’s unconstitutional to favor a particular religious or ethnic group on tax forms. But it’s no more unconstitutional than banning ideas that the same group dislikes.
Maybe I can talk Cass Sunstein into rounding up a group of Jewish billionaires and convincing them to cut their losses and pivot to Philosemitism Awareness instead of Antisemitism Awareness.
They Hate Our Freedom. But Which "They"?
