     “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act”

 
 
The gradual erosion of the First Amendment:
The U.S. Senate has passed the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act”
 
By Michael Hoffman
 
No, this is not a joke, or a newly discovered appendix to a dystopian George Orwell novel.  The United States Senate on December 1 did indeed pass the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act” [complete text is here]. A companion bill has been sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
 
We are unfortunately all too familiar with this type of abridgment of freedom of speech and press. In Canada, Australia, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, and everywhere that the “error has no rights” standard of the Inquisition has been revived, dissident writers and activists have been fined or imprisoned. Ten years ago yesterday historian David Irving was released from an Austrian prison after serving more than a year for his alleged “anti-Semitic” speech and writing.The American media are mostly not interested. In their view this is the right kind of repression.
 
The official explanation for the thought police enabler in the Senate is that the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act “seeks to adopt the U.S. State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism so that the Education Department may consider it in investigating reports of religiously motivated campus crimes.” Note that word: “crimes.” We will return to it in a moment. 
 
The bill was proposed by Senators Bob Casey, a “family values” Pennsylvania Democrat, and Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, and co-sponsored by “Conservative” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, also of South Carolina, to “ensure the Education Department has the necessary statutory tools at their disposal to investigate anti-Jewish incidents,” according to a news release. 
 
The misnamed bill (it’s not about merely raising “awareness”), gives the federal government the authority to investigate ideas, thoughts, and political positions as violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It’s supported by the Israeli lobby in the U.S. and appears to be the work of the Israeli government. Supporters include the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federations of North America, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center. 
 
Mainstream media such as the New York Times, which are obsessed with detecting supposed ominous Russian “meddling” in American politics, have reported barely a word about this legislation, which has the fingerprints of a foreign power all over it. 
 
Senator Casey listed the following examples of anti-Semitic crimes covered by the bill:
 
•Accusing Israel as a state of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust
 
•Judging Israel by a double standard that one would not apply to any other democratic nation
 
•Demonizing Israel by blaming it for inter-religious or political tensions
 
Are political thoughts and words a hate crime which should be investigated by colleges and universities, or the Department of Education? That’s what this Act will require if it passes in the House of Representatives. Should criticizing the government of China be treated as a hate crime against Asian students? 
 
Passage of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act will have a chilling effect on freedom of speech at America’s institutes of higher learning, and this is its intentThe Act is an extension of growing Israeli supremacy over our Republic through the implementation of laws consonant with Talmudic halacha, which consists of one law for the lower-souled goyim, and another for the higher-souled Judaics (cf. BT Sanhedrin 57a; Kiddushin 66c; Erubin 21b; Bava Metzia 114b; Kerithoth 6b and 58a;  and the Chofetz Chaim’s Mishneh Berurah: O.H. 330, among many other halachot). 
 
Zionist students on American campuses are free to denigrate, insult and mock every nationality, government and religion on earth. On the glass toilet known as television, Zionist Larry David urinated on a portrait of Jesus Christ in October of 2009, on the HBO TV show, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” There’s no “Anti-Christian Awareness Act” on the legislative agenda of our cowardly Congress.
 
Thus far the Los Angeles Times has been one of the few newspapers willing to broach this topic. In a Times’ guest editorial Liz Jackson writes: “This fall, Berkeley suspended an academic course called ‘Palestine: a Settler Colonial Inquiry’ after complaints from the same Israeli advocacy organizations who had previously tried to get the Education Department to stifle campus debate. This is how the chilling effect plays out. Campus administrators understand the specter of federal investigations —not just the threat of losing funding, but the fallout from bad headlines — and they suppress legitimate speech to avoid problems.”
 
To add insult to injury, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act contains the following coda: “Nothing in this Act, or an amendment made by this Act, shall be construed to diminish or infringe upon any right protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”
 

Sure. And some are more equal than others.

      Every employee/elected moron in the government sincerely believe that their CONstitution and all subsequent laws, statutes, codes, policies apply to everyone just because of their physically being within a given geographic area. You probably believe it all applies because that’s what you’ve been indoctrinated to believe. Can you prove it applies?? What facts do you have personal firsthand evidence of that proves any of it applies to anyone??

      Would anyone care to pick up the challenge and prove that any of it applies to anyone, just because of their physically being in a geographic area?? You can regale us all with your factual tangible personal firsthand knowledge and evidence that you rely on that proves applicability..

      Remember, we want your factual tangible personal firsthand evidence, not your feelings, beliefs, opinions or the feelings, beliefs or opinions of others..just facts! “interestingly, every time some putz responds, they always reply with their OPINION or someone else’s opinion but no facts”
      The following does not equate to evidence proving applicability, circular reasoning, hyperbole, hearsay or hearsay of hearsay, rumor, speculation, assumptions, presumptions, hypotheticals, conjecture, sophistry, obfuscation, scenarios, what if’s, fraud or lies.
      Do NOT reference any historical document that doesn’t have the wet ink signature of anyone being charged. Nor reference any document that is compulsory,.. Fraud, threats, duress and coercion to accept a compulsory document, nullifies any implied acceptance or consent.
      Further, in your attempt to justify your indoctrination; You shall not invoke any magical legal citations, alleged laws, statutes, codes, policies, treaties, etc, or any Constitution or any amendments to any Constitution, as that presupposes that any of it is applicable, when that is what is in question in the first place!

        I totally agree with what you are saying if one fully comprehends who they truly “are” and their true standing as a man or woman in God’s creation. Most of us don’t yet fully comprehend our true identity in the grand scheme of things and cling to false identities that are the creation of the god of this counterfeit world/reality we find ourselves in. This is Lucifer’s matrix/faux reality and most of us have allowed ourselves to be deceived into believing it is “the true” reality when it is actually a false reality constructed upon and out of fraud and deceit. Being able to comprehend that we are not “of” this Luciferian false reality but are here to experience it for whatever reasons, sort of helps me deal with this whole mess we see unfolding before us.
