[wvns] Reverend Responds to ADL Attack
Rev. Ted Pike was attacked by the ADL, and here is his response:
MY RESPONSE TO ADL'S ATTACK
By Rev. Ted Pike
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shamireaders/
In 1988, I first publicly opposed efforts of the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith to establish state and federal
hate laws in America. I knew these laws would end freedom of speech,
especially for Christians, in the United States as they have in other
western nations. For the past 18 years, I have worked to oppose these
laws and protect freedom of speech. ADL has given me the "silent
treatment." But since the federal hate law was passed by the House and
Senate, ADL has finally spoken out against me—publishing an 11-page
online attack.
ADL is getting tough against American critics of Israel
and ADL's anti-Christian agenda. They anticipate exponential power as
enforcers of a federal hate crimes gestapo in our nation, just as they
enjoy in Canada. This attack on me helps prepare the public for
criminalization, not just of Holocaust reductionists (who've been
jailed under ADL's German and Austrian hate laws) but for imprisonment
of American violators of hate crimes laws -- those whom Sen. Kennedy
recently described as "domestic terrorists."
Once alleged "terrorists" like me are out of the way,
mainstream evangelical leaders and pastors will follow us to prison.
Hate crime laws' ultimate goal is to silence all Christians. The
federal hate law says that anyone who "aids, abets, counsels" an
unstable person—whether by pulpit, talk radio, or publishing—and
motivates him to do violence to a member of a federally protected
group (such as a Jew or homosexual) shall be punished equally as a
federal "hate criminal" alongside the active offender (Title 18,
U.S.C. Sec. 2a). ADL's pending British hate bill stipulates that
anyone who helps create a climate of criticism of homosexuality will
receive seven years in prison. 1 Soon the Bible itself and all
effective preaching from it will be criminalized as "hate speech" that
incites violence!
What is Anti-Semitism?
ADL accuses me of anti-Semitism, but what is it? It's the
racist belief that Jews are genetically inferior, evil, corruptive, or
conspiratorial. This is what Hitler believed. It is not anti-Semitic
to criticize the bad behavior of Jews, as did Jesus and the Old
Testament prophets. But for ADL, vehement, repeated, or extensive
criticism of the behavior of Jews or the state of Israel and its
leaders is anti-Semitism. (See, The Real Motive Behind the 'Department
of Global Anti-Semitism') Accordingly, ADL now vilifies me as a
prominent anti-Semite. Along with former President Carter and
professors Mearsheimer and Walt, I am smeared by ADL as a purveyor of
anti-Semitic ideas.
ADL says Carter's ideas stimulate anti-Semitism because he
describes Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as "abominable" and
suggests that Jews dominate Congress and America's opinion-making
elite. ADL brands Mearsheimer and Walt as anti-Semitic for revealing
Jews' disproportionate power in Congress and the White House. M&W
contend the Jewish lobby is primarily responsible for America's
Israel-protecting war in the Mideast. Carter, M&W and I agree that
nearly 60 years of Israeli brutality against the Palestinians remains
the primary incitement of Arab terrorism and Mid-East tension.
Yet I bring to this discussion another allegation which
makes me, according to ADL, "virulently anti-Semitic." I reveal and
exhaustively document in my works that within the religion of Talmudic
Judaism exist racist teachings that encourage Jews to believe Israel
is destined to control the world under her false "messiah." Such
teachings are embodied in the most revered, sacred scriptures of
modern Judaism—the Talmud and Zohar (Kabbalah). These unchanging
doctrines stimulate Jews to acquire excessive power and behave in
ways, especially in Palestine, that incite hostility. (See, The
Talmud: Scalpel that Bleeds the Mideast, Israel: On the Way to Empire
in the Mideast and Coming Jewish 'Utopia' Ruled by Noahide Laws)
My 345-page book Israel: Our Duty…Our Dilemma and four
major video documentaries (viewable here at video.google.com) show how
the ancient Pharisees, whom Christ so vehemently attacked, hijacked
Hebrew monotheism. They transformed it into a vehicle of Pharisaic
self-righteousness, power, and Messianic global ambition. Their racial
antagonism and separateness preserved Jewish identity (at great cost)
in millennia of dispersion. It also created a backlash of
anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, there is overwhelming evidence that the
Pharisees' disciples worked covertly within host nations, especially
during the past 225 years, attempting to undermine their Christian and
later capitalistic underpinnings. (See, Jewish Activists Created
Communism)
Guilt by Association?
Unable to refute anything Ted Pike has written or said
over the past 23 years, ADL attacked me primarily through "guilt by
association" with anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, or racist groups who use my
research, distribute my videos, or post my un-copywritten articles on
their websites.
I am affiliated with only one organization, the National
Prayer Network. ADL falsely charges that I have "a long-standing
affiliation with American Free Press (AFP), an anti-Semitic
conspiracy-oriented newspaper…Pike is an AFP staff member, having
served on its Western Regional Bureau. He continues to serve on staff
with several anti-Semites."
About six years ago AFP asked me to write some articles on
hate laws and referred to me as a "western correspondent." I wrote six
articles; two were published. This ended my six-week affiliation as
"western correspondent." I have never been affiliated with AFP before
or since.
Similarly, ADL blames Ted Pike for linking to
"anti-Semitic" websites such as AFP, Texe Marrs, "Criminal Politics,"
"We Hold These Truths," and Darryl Bradford Smith. I have found these
websites, which contain a wealth of information not available in
mainstream media, anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic. (Because of
Smith's increasingly intemperate remarks, about four months ago I
decided to no longer link to his website.)
My relationship to all talk show hosts is similarly open
and informal. Sir Winston Churchill said if the devil himself would
aid him to defeat Hitler, he would take his help. I wouldn't go that
far; but, considering the threat posed by Jewish supremacism, I would
accept airtime even from Howard Stern! Since mainline and Christian
media won't warn against this enormous danger, I am forced to not be
too picky about who helps me spread the truth.
ADL alleges, "Ted Pike maintains a broad-based network of
anti-Semitic, white supremacist, and conspiracy-theory affiliations to
broadcast his anti-Semitic message." Nonsense. My policy of working
with talk show hosts of any persuasion, left or right, is inspired by
Jesus. The Pharisees (the literal and spiritual ancestors of ADL) said
derisively of Jesus, "Why does your master eat with publicans and
sinners?" (Matt. 9:11) Yet for Jesus, there was no one who, asking an
audience with Him, was refused. When publicans, harlots, lepers, and
even Pharisees came desiring to talk to Him, He reciprocated, sharing
the good news of salvation. This past week, 12 national talk show
hosts interviewed me, very curious as to why new right leaders
betrayed their followers and allowed the hate bill to be passed
(probably to provide President Bush and Republicans with the prestige
of vetoing it). (See, Hate Bill Manipulators Should Come Clean) I
talked to them and to roughly a million American listeners, but at no
point did I become "linked" to a talk host because I granted an
interview. Christ came to save the lost; but to do so, He had to talk
to them. He did not become "affiliated" with them by so doing.
No Racism Here
Evidence of a Talmudic conspiracy against Christian
civilization is overwhelming. It is easily discovered without my help!
When people realize the real aim of elite Jewish activism, they tend
to turn against Jews as a whole. My work, however, by its Biblical
perspective and moderation, helps protect the Jewish people. I believe
the Bible rebukes denigration of the Jewish race, and a truly Biblical
worldview repudiates all attitudes or acts of bigotry.
Unlike actual anti-Semites, I would never assert that
Talmudic hostility to Christianity comes from racial degeneracy among
Jews. It results from moral decisions—the kind we all make. Modern
Jewish activists make the same moral choices of Israel's religious
leaders nearly 2,000 years ago. They rejected their true Messiah and
His spiritual kingdom, and embarked on a long-term quest for another
messiah to grant them physical dominion.
Someday, after the horrendous collapse of the coming
one-world Zionist government, Christ will return and will, through
Jewish repentance, restore a remnant of beleaguered Jews to faith in
Him. Right now, all Jews need the message of Christ's astonishing
power to save. More than any other Christian leader, I influence the
far (including racist) right toward this compassionate Biblical
perspective.
Some say that, even if certain facts about Judaism are
true, Ted Pike shouldn't make them known because anti-Semites will use
such information to defame and possibly persecute God's chosen people.
If that were true, the Bible itself should be banned. It also tells
us much that is unflattering about the Jewish religion and its
leaders. Many anti-Semites, in fact, have used it to malign and even
persecute Jews throughout the ages.
The Bible teaches our duty before God is to speak the
whole truth about evil, wherever it exists. Having done so, we are not
responsible for how others may manipulate or abuse the truth.
Quotes out of Context
ADL's attack includes several quotes from my work that may
cause concern.
1. "Certainly the white Caucasian race and Christian civilization are
a tremendous barrier to the eventual goal of the Talmud and Kabbalah
of the Jews, which is to rule over the nations in fulfillment of
scriptural prophecy and have a one-world government centering in
Jerusalem, and a Messiah that will take the place of Jesus Christ in
the nations." (Interview with Hesham Tulawi)
Here ADL infers that I sympathize with white supremacists
and racists. But my meaning is only this: Since the late 18th century,
the industrialization and free market capitalism of the western world,
primarily in the US, Great Britain, France and Germany, were developed
within Caucasian, Christian civilization. To realize Talmudic,
Kabalistic goals of domination over the nations, this formidable power
had to be weakened or destroyed. Toward this end, Jews have
predominated in leadership of anti-Christian, anti-capitalist,
socialist and communist ideologies and revolutions. This included the
Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and myriad shades of leftism and
anti-Christianity to the present. (See, Jewish Activists Created
Communism)
2. "Because the majority of Jews have habitually followed the
machinations of a core of zealots or troublemakers, we are compelled
to make, in a collective sense, truthful, yet often derogatory
statements about the broad trends of Jewish behavior, referring to
them as `the Jews.'"
The New Testament writers invariably describe the
persecutors of the early church as "the Jews." Of course, neither then
nor now do all Jews actively oppose Christianity. (A majority does
favor a liberal agenda that promotes homosexuality, abortion, and
other policies that deeply oppose Christian values; 87 percent of
American Jews voted for the liberal Democrats who now dominate the US
House of Representatives.) (See, Why Most Jews Support the Hate Bill)
I no longer use New Testament permission to speak
collectively of "the Jews." I now clearly refer to Zionist enemies of
Christian civilization as "evil Jewish leaders." I consistently
distinguish between many Jews and the minority of liberal
activists—primarily radiating from ADL/B'nai B'rith—who spearhead hate
laws, virulent anti-Christianity in Hollywood and media, and the
pirating of US foreign policy for Israel's benefit.
3. "Yet the greatest liberation of Israel will be from her spiritual
sickness and the `filthiness of her fornication' which has always made
her stink in the nostrils of God and men. God shall take the rebuke of
His people away. No longer will the term `Jew' be secretly odious in
the mind of a Gentile."
This passage from my book (pg. 266) describes God's latter
day deliverance of a Jewish remnant. Scripture says He will transform
them, through their repentance, from the most anti-Christ force in the
world to the most zealous believers the world has ever seen!
I merely agree with all the ancient prophets and New
Testament writers that Israel, in any stage of apostasy, corrupts and
offends her Gentile neighbors. St. Paul wrote of such unbelieving
Jews: "For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through
you, as it is written." (Rom. 2:24) Someday such reproach will be
gone. ADL, of course, did not finish my passage, which quotes
Jeremiah's promise: "I will bring them health…I will cure them, and
will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth…I will cleanse
them from all their iniquity." (Jer. 33:6, 8) I conclude, "Jerusalem
shall be righteous in that day because of the Spirit-filled
righteousness of those who inhabit it. This is all that God ever
really wanted from the Jews and now He has it."
Does such altruism confirm ADL's accusation that Ted Pike
is guilty of "vicious anti-Semitism," hateful of the Jewish people,
scheming against them in shadowy long-term alliances with
anti-Semites, neo-Nazis and white supremacists? Hardly! It is
remarkable that these last three quotations are the most ADL has been
able to dredge up against me after 23 years of the minutest analysis
of literally every word I have uttered in public.
Over two decades, hundreds of thousands, investigating my
works, have discovered the truth: Ted Pike and his wife Alynn are
nothing more or less than straightforward concerned Christians and
Americans. We bring to everyone, both Jew and Gentile, a message of
spiritual and even political salvation, a message which all who love
freedom need very much to hear.
