Opinion

  • Written by Dr Ludwig Watzal


Bonn 29 January 2015. The Israeli movie maker Yoav Shamir documents in the film "Defamation" the fight of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) against "anti-Semitism". This "fight" has little to do with "anti-Semitism" but much with muzzling Israel critic. "Anti-Semitism" serves as a pretext to immunize the State of Israel against criticism. The Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery said about the fight of ADL. "None of them fights anti-Semitism. They fight criticism of Israel". He continues saying: In the US there exists hardly any anti-Semitism. "Anti-Semites? You'd need a magnifying class to find them." There are people "like Sherlock Homes to find anti-Semites", so Avnery. Particularly repulsive seem the school trips of tens of thousands of Israeli pupils per year to Auschwitz in order to indoctrinate and manipulate them for political ends. The video is worth seeing and very instructive.

 

By the way, I had my specific experience, inter alia, with the questionable work of ADL. When the defamation campaign of the German Zionist Lobby against me reached its peak in 2008, Glen S. Levy and Abraham H. Foxman wrote a letter on April 2, 2008, inter alia, to the then German Interior Minister Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble, in which they complained about my "egregious remarks" (...) "that are anti-Semitic according to the Working Definition of Anti-Semitism of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights". They asked him to "promptly sever its ties to Dr. Watzal in order to avoid further damage".

They did not cite a single of these "egregious remarks", although my complete writings are available online (www.watzal.com). Beyond that the definition by the European Union adopted in 2005 was a political statement without legal force. Because its controversial nature, it was finally dropped in 2013. The EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) now says it is neither able nor authorized to define the term anti-Semitism.1

Dr. Robert Owens’ Newest Book 

 

While neither the first nor the last Hippie, Backstreet was in many ways the quintessential Hippie.  Today the Hippie experience has been glamorized and sanitized by the dreaming of the young and the gleaning of the old. 

Backstreet's experiences covered the whole range of experimentation and rebellion that the Hippies came to symbolize.  From the "Summer of Love" in People's Park and Haight Ashbury, (he helped bury the Hippie in San Francisco) through Drop City, Colorado to the Armadillo in Austin, Texas Backstreet was there. 

More than the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era or the Beat Generation of the 1950's the Hippie Generation represents the ultimate in missed opportunities, lost dreams, and eventually counterproductive goals.

Make America Great Again - AGAIN!

This book is filled with some of the positive accomplishments of President Trump’s first Administration.  Most of this has never been covered by the echo-chamber megaphone pretending to be an objective media.  Some of it has been covered as if through a carnival mirror, distorted and reshaped to fit the negative agenda of the Left. 

Though the media elites, the perpetually re-elected, and the bureaucrats of the deep state are united in their determination to defeat Donald Trump they’ve forgotten one thing … most Americans still believe in America.  And though they’ve used the Plandemic to shut down our economy and their shock troops are burning down our cities they’ll not be able to terrorize us into staying home on election day. 

And when the dust settles,  

four more years may give us enough breathing space to: 

Make America Great Again – Again!
