		<description><![CDATA[Too extreme for German leftists -- just right for the Gray Lady. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/max-blumenthal.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-247115" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/max-blumenthal.jpg" alt="max-blumenthal" width="255" height="255" /></a>The New York Times, the paper that earned the dubious distinction of being the recipient of the “<a href="http://honestreporting.com/a-year-of-biased-reporting-why-the-new-york-times-won/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Most Dishonest Reporting</span></a>” award for 2013 is at it again. This time, The Gray Lady <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/12/07/if-israel-turns-right-where-will-it-end-up-12/a-rightward-shift-in-israel-would-reflect-whats-always-been-true"><span style="color: #0433ff;">featured</span></a> an op-ed piece by the notorious anti-Semite Max Blumenthal, providing this provocateur with a mainstream platform to express his odious views.</p>
<p>True to form, Blumenthal, the darling of radical extremists, conflates, distorts and simply makes things up. But I’m not here to analyze Blumenthal’s arrant nonsense. <a href="http://tabletmag.com/scroll/187518/rolling-stone-apologized-will-the-times"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Others</span></a> have already done a <a href="http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/12/08/new-york-times-attempts-to-resuscitate-reputation-of-american-anti-semite-max-blumenthal/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">good job</span></a> of that. What I wish to highlight is the depths to which the New York Times has sunk.</p>
<p>To be sure, the New York Times has in the past given a broad range of anti-Israel types a platform to express their opinions in the op-ed section, far more than those expressing positive views of Israel. But Blumenthal’s pernicious views veer uncomfortably close to old fashion anti-Semitism and this time, the New York Times exceeded the bounds of decency and fair play and has partnered with those who openly express Jew-hatred.</p>
<p>An analysis of Blumenthal’s history reveals the following disturbing facts;</p>
<p>•Blumenthal was <a href="http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/11/06/german-opposition-party-cancels-event-featuring-american-anti-semite-max-blumenthal/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">disinvited</span></a> from a scheduled speaking engagement by the German “Die Linke” (The Left) party due to his <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/ari-lieberman/max-blumenthal-rejected-by-german-radicals/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">anti-Semitic</span></a> (not to mention anti-Israel) views.</p>
<p>•Blumenthal’s antics earned him a <a href="http://www.dw.de/israel-critics-visit-to-parliament-turns-ugly-for-gysi/a-18059221"><span style="color: #0433ff;">lifetime ban</span></a> from the German parliament.</p>
<p>•The Simon Wiesenthal Center has labeled Blumenthal an anti-Semite and his comments earned him a spot in the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s “<a href="http://www.wiesenthal.com/atf/cf/%7B54d385e6-f1b9-4e9f-8e94-890c3e6dd277%7D/TOP-TEN-2013.PDF"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Top 10</span></a>” list of anti-Semitic slurs.</p>
<p>•Blumenthal’s “works” have been cited and praised by radical extremists and <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2014/04/antisemite-max-blumenthal-incites-murder-of-three"><span style="color: #0433ff;">neo-Nazis</span></a>  and have been <a href="http://www.brandeiscenter.com/images/uploads/articleuploads/marquardt-Bigman_research_paper.pdf"><span style="color: #0433ff;">featured</span></a> on the anti-Semitic blog, <i>Electronic Intifada</i> as well as the neo-Nazi Internet forum, <i>Stormfront</i>.</p>
<p>•Blumenthal’s comments have been cited with approval by <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2014/04/antisemite-max-blumenthal-incites-murder-of-three"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Frazier Glenn Miller</span></a>, the KKK murderer who massacred three people at two separate Jewish community centers in Overland Park, Kansas.</p>
<p>•The Left-leaning <i>Forward</i> referred to Blumenthal’s book as so anti-Israel it, “<a href="http://forward.com/articles/186557/max-blumenthals-goliath-is-anti-israel-book-that-m/?p=all"><span style="color: #0433ff;">makes even anti-Zionists blush</span></a>.”</p>
<p>•Prominent liberal Eric Alterman of <i>The Nation</i> referred to Blumenthal’s book as a screed that belongs in the “<a href="http://forward.com/articles/186557/max-blumenthals-goliath-is-anti-israel-book-that-m/?p=all"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club</span></a>.”</p>
<p>•Blumenthal compared Israel with ISIS (the group that lops people’s heads off for eating dinner with the wrong fork) calling the Jewish state “JSIL” or the “Jewish State of Israel and the Levant.”</p>
<p>•Blumenthal called Israelis “Judeo-Nazis.” (I wonder if he could say that to a Holocaust survivor and walk away with his head intact.)</p>
<p>•Writing for the Hezbollah paper <i>Al-Akhbar</i>, Blumenthal stated that American law enforcement is “<a href="http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/occupation-%E2%80%9Coccupy%E2%80%9D-israelification-american-domestic-security"><span style="color: #0433ff;">schooled in Israeli killing methods</span></a>.”</p>
<p>•Blumenthal was caught red-handed <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/12/did-israel-train-american-interrogators-in-torture-updated/249630/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">conjuring up fictitious quotes</span></a> maligning Israel.</p>
<p>And that’s Max Blumenthal in a nutshell. One wonders whether Hillary Clinton’s senior advisor Sidney Blumenthal, Max’s father and <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/clinton-adviser-sid-blumenthals-new-cause-his-sons-anti-isra"><span style="color: #0433ff;">passionate defender</span></a> had anything to with the Times’ decision to host the notorious anti-Semite. Either way, the Times’ demonstrates that it has tossed journalistic standards and any semblance of decency out the window.</p>
<p>So what’s next for the New York Times? I hear former KKK “Grand Wizard” David Duke is in town. Perhaps the Times can enlighten its readership and provide the former Klan leader a forum on its op-ed pages to explain how the diabolical Zionists were responsible for the Holocaust or alternatively, how the Zionists propagated the Holocaust hoax to inflict suffering on the poor Palestinians. That should make for interesting reading.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The disturbing extent of far-Left domination of the Cameron government revealed. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ty1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-212363" alt="ty" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ty1.jpg" width="400" height="226" /></a>New revelations about why I was banned from entering Great Britain reveal how deeply compromised the British government is to hard-Leftists and Islamic supremacists – including the most virulent haters of Israel.</p>
<p>As faithful FrontPage readers may <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/robert-spencer/britain-bans-freedom-fighters/">recall</a>, last June I was banned from Britain because, as a letter from the U.K. Home Office told me, “your presence here is not conducive to the public good.” Why not? Because I said (quite factually) that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with Western society.” And also because, the letter said, “you are the founder of the blog Jihad Watch (a site widely criticized for being Islamophobic),” and “you co-founded the Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America, both of which have been described as anti-Muslim hate groups.”</p>
<p>Note the passive voice: the Freedom Defense Initiative (actually the American Freedom Defense Initiative, AFDI) and Stop Islamization of America “have been described as anti-Muslim hate groups” by whom? The letter didn’t say. And Jihad Watch has been “widely criticized for being Islamophobic” by whom? The letter gives no hint, instead attempting to establish these charges as the judicious assessment of neutral observers.</p>
<p>Now, however, newly released documents relating to our case, as Pamela Geller discussed in a <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/01/documents-reveal-british-banned-geller-and-spencer-because-of-their-pro-israeli-views/">recent Daily Caller article</a>, reveal that the Home Office’s decision was guided by far-Left agitation groups with a deep animus against Israel.</p>
<p>Of course, this was already obvious from the Home Office’s repetition of the charge that Jihad Watch is “Islamophobic” in its letter to me. “Islamophobia” is a manipulative and propagandistic neologism designed to intimidate non-Muslims into thinking that there is something “bigoted” and “racist” about resisting jihad terror and opposing Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays and others. The only people who use it at all are Islamic supremacists who want to clear away all obstacles to the advance of jihad, their Leftist allies, and those whom they have bamboozled into thinking it is a legitimate term of discourse – such as the British Home Office.</p>
<p>So it was obvious already who was whispering into the Home Office’s ear, but now it is confirmed. As Pamela Geller noted, in the newly revealed documents “all reference to the identities of those who asked that we be banned have been blacked out.” However, “their black marker missed one reference, revealing that one of the groups complaining about us was Faith Matters. Faith Matters was founded by a Muslim named Fiyaz Mughal, who also heads up Tell Mama, a group dedicated to tracking ‘Islamophobia.’ <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-gilligan/10108098/Muslim-hate-monitor-to-lose-backing.html">Tell Mama lost government funding in June</a> after making false claims of waves of attacks ‘Islamophobic incidents.’”</p>
<p>So around the same time that Tell Mama was being stripped of its government funding for lying about the prevalence of “anti-Muslim hate crimes,” that same government was accepting its advice and counsel in favor of banning Pamela Geller and me from the country. Was the Home Office unaware that Tell Mama was wildly exaggerating “Islamophobia” in Britain, and was thus an untrustworthy source for any information related to it, or did it simply not care?</p>
<p>As the Home Office makes its case against us, it also cites as authorities two pro-jihad smear sites, Loonwatch and Islamophobia Today – both of which have published numerous false charges, distortions, and outright lies about me, my public stands on various issues, my activities, and my associations. Both are devoted to completely discrediting anyone who dares to criticize jihad and Islamic supremacism, and to portraying those who oppose jihad terror as just terrible, terrible people. Generally they do this in the context of lurid ridicule of and furious hatred and contempt for their targets, larded with risible pseudo-scholarly “refutations” of their works recalling nothing so much as <i>Der Stürmer</i>. And true to their Nazi prototype, both are relentlessly anti-Israel, retailing Palestinian jihad propaganda with the same clownish fury and disregard for the facts that marks their analyses as a whole.</p>
<p>That anyone regards such sites seriously, with their gleeful flouting of accuracy and genuine analysis, and willingness to retail any smear to discredit their targets, is strange enough. That the British Home Office would be among those who do is a telling indication of just how thoroughly David Cameron’s Conservative government has been compromised, and how abjectly it has capitulated to a far-Left agenda.</p>
<p>The prime confirmation of this comes from one email from the Home Office’s massive team investigating Geller and me. The author (name redacted, of course) notes that the subject profiles that were prepared on us cite our “pro-Israeli views,” and argues that this material be removed, lest the wicked Zionists Geller and Spencer “argue publically that their exclusion is on the basis of their support for Israel.”</p>
<p>Well, that let the cat out of the bag. So here goes: I am hereby arguing publically that my exclusion was on the basis of my support for Israel, along with my “Islamophobia.” In banning me from the country, the British government capitulated to far-Left and Islamic supremacist pressure groups that are both virulently anti-Israel and enraged about the trumped-up phenomenon of “Islamophobia,” while making excuses for or ignoring altogether the reality of Islamic jihad and the numerous human rights abuses perpetrated daily in its name.</p>
<p>Were this a Labour government, this capitulation might be understandable – after all the Leftist/Islamic supremacist alliance has been noted in numerous quarters for years, and people nowadays more or less expect liberals and Leftists to be anti-Israel and anti-counterjihad, if not outright pro-jihad. But the Tories?</p>
<p>The Conservative government of David Cameron has failed the British people as thoroughly and resoundingly as the Republican Party has failed the American people. Both could have and should have constituted themselves as a loyal opposition, departing from the Leftist line. Instead, they have parroted it in innumerable ways, and disenfranchised millions of their constituents by offering no alternative to the dominant paradigm.</p>
<p>Whether or not I ever get into Britain again, the Conservative collapse revealed in the Home Office documents relating to my ban reveal a ruling party, and a society, that is profoundly confused, deeply compromised, and facing far greater crises to come.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/mes.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-194656" alt="mes" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/mes.jpg" width="297" height="200" /></a>Speakers’ Corner at Hyde Park, London was once renowned for being the embodiment of freedom of speech where anyone could appear and speak about anything.  In recent years, Islamist speakers have flocked to Hyde Park to deliver their rants and rampages.</p>
<p>A British convert to Islam declaimed there, “I do not believe that absolute freedom of speech is a good thing. The West doesn&#8217;t really believe in that freedom either. No one is free to say exactly what they want.”</p>
<p>The British authorities have come around to agreeing with him. Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller have been informed that they are banned from the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The letter to Robert Spencer <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/06/britain-capitulates-to-jihad.html">informs him</a>, in Orwellian language, that the Home Secretary believes that he should be excluded from the United Kingdom on the grounds that “your presence here is not conducive to the public good.”</p>
<p>Some figures whose presence is conducive to the public good include Abu Qatada, an Al Qaeda figure who has yet to be deported, and Anjem Choudary, who helped inspire the recent bloody murder of Lee Rigby.</p>
<p>MP Keith Vaz, who led a march calling for a ban on Salman Rushdie’s &#8220;The Satanic Verses,&#8221; called for the ban on Spencer and Geller. And the British government has complied.</p>
<p>While every Islamist leader from around the world has found asylum and taxpayer-funded homes in the UK, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are too dangerous to allow into Londonistan.</p>
<p>A Wikileaks cable revealed that fear of offending Muslims convinced British governments to grant asylum to Islamist leaders. And now fear of offending Muslims has convinced the British government to keep out the people warning of the danger.</p>
<p>Instead of banning the terrorists, the UK has banned the messenger.</p>
<p>It is a tragic day for Western civilization.</p>

<p>The Gang gathered to discuss <em>Teaching Class-Hatred to America’s Youth. </em>The dialogue occurred in <strong>Part I </strong>and focused on how the Left wages war through our children. The segment also shed light on: <em><em>The Journey of a Black American Patriot </em></em>and<em><em> <em>What Does It Mean To Become An American?<br />
</em></em></em></p>
<p>In <strong>Part II, </strong>the Gang<strong> </strong>analyzed: <em>Pamela Geller Banned By a Canadian Synagogue. </em>The discussion explored why a freedom fighter who stands up for oppressed Muslim women isn&#8217;t welcome in Canada &#8212; while Islamic terrorists are.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Savage reveals the sordid details that caused the British Labor Party government to ban him from the UK. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45559" title="Savage" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Savage.gif" alt="Savage" width="450" height="306" /></p>
<p>In his recently released book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Banned-Britain-Beating-Liberal-Blacklist/dp/1427642532/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1263155101&amp;sr=1-1"><em>Banned in Britain</em></a>, Michael Savage, an American conservative talk show host, reveals the sordid details that caused the British Labor Party government to ban him from the UK.  In context, the ban constitutes part of a larger effort to restrict free speech in the West.</p>
<p>One morning in May 2009, Michael Savage awoke and googled the news.  There in bold headlines he read that he was forbidden to enter the UK, due to his “extremist views.”  At first he thought it was a joke.  But upon linking to the British Home Office website, he discovered its truth.  A “name and shame” list had been posted of those prohibited from entering the country.  The list included terrorists, murderers and Michael Savage.</p>
<p>The talk show host never committed a crime.  He never applied to enter the UK, nor was his show broadcast there.  The British government never warned him that he was engaging in problematic behavior, nor did it notify him after placing him on the list.  He was not afforded due process or any process.  Rather, the decision to ban Michael Savage was made by government authorities with no oversight, behind closed doors.  They side-stepped laws and trampled on his civil liberties.</p>
<p><em>Banned in Britain</em> explains how, through the Freedom of Information Act, Savage uncovered e-mails by British authorities who made the decision.  The e-mails demonstrated that because most of the people on the list were Muslim, the government feared that radicals would falsely allege that the “unacceptable behavior” policy was specifically targeted at the Muslim community.  Therefore, authorities sought a non-Muslim to place on the list in order to achieve “balance in exclusion cases”, or diversity in banning.</p>
<p>The Home Office’s prime researcher found no evidence that Michael Savage advocated violence, or that violence was ever committed as the result of his words. Nevertheless, then-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith used a collection of Savage’s sound-bites out-of-context to serve as the basis for his ban.  She insisted that the talk show host sought to “provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred which might lead to intercommunity violence.”</p>
<p>Savage wrote to the US State Department, the UK Home Office, and the British Prime Minister in an attempt to get his name removed from the “name and shame” list.  Failing to get results, he subsequently filed a defamation law suit against the British Home Office and Jacqui Smith in her personal capacity.  (Smith had resigned amidst allegations of corruption and financial impropriety unrelated to the Savage case).</p>
<p>Though most Brits had not heard of Michael Savage prior to his ban, his name is now likely a household word.  The Secretary’s slurs made the American talk show host a target for Islamists.  Therefore, after hiring body guards, Savage made numerous media appearances in Britain in order to plead his case.</p>
<p>America’s first amendment was not written to protect polite speech or politically correct speech.  It was written, in part, to protect controversial, offensive, and cantankerous political speech.  The speech in which Michael Savage engaged was legal in America.  And though the UK has no first amendment, it purports to maintain freedom of speech and is signatory to treaties that promote it.</p>
<p>Free speech is not limited to the right to express one’s viewpoints.  It includes the right not to be punished for expressing ideas contrary to those of the government.  That means the right not to be libeled or slandered, not to have the government knowingly make false statements about you, or falsely attribute statements to you.  It also means the right not to have the government ban you from the country as an alternative means of censorship.</p>
<p>Legal restrictions of free speech do not occur overnight.  The process is gradual.  First, self-censorship is encouraged, then “guidelines” are issued.  Eventually, legal complaints lead to civil penalties, and finally criminal prosecution.  Penalizing one man for asserting his free speech rights also has the effect of chilling the speech of others, who take heed of the consequences.</p>
<p>Across Europe, the progression is evident.  Islamic blasphemy laws are being construed more broadly in countries that have non-Muslim majorities.  In Canada,  Human Rights Commissions regularly issue civil fines for “Islamophobic” speech or speech “likely” to cause hatred, even if no hatred results.  To defend themselves, respondents must endure a punitive bureaucratic process, costing them inordinate amounts of time and money.  In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, Member of Parliament, will be placed on criminal trial January 20, 2010 for producing a short documentary on Islamic extremism, which allegedly constitutes “hate speech”.  If convicted, he faces the possibility of jail.  Ironically, Wilders, founder of the Party for Freedom, has been pushing for an international equivalent of America’s first amendment.</p>
<p>In the US, the signs are more subtle.  Though America doesn’t exert police power to stifle speech, she may pass legislation, issue executive orders, or create a politically correct climate of intimidation.  For example, the State Department, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the Department of Homeland Security issued memos to their employees discouraging the use of words ranging from Islamic terrorism to jihad.  Politically correct double standards are applied to college campus speakers. Ahmadinejad is ok, but David Horowitz and Nonie Darwish are hate-mongers undeserving of a platform.  The Fairness Doctrine looms large, threatening to shut down conservative talk radio since liberal talk radio cannot survive in the market place.  Also, for the first time in history, the FCC has a diversity czar.  He mandates private broadcasters to pay license fees that support PBS, doing indirectly what he cannot do directly.</p>
<p>Just this past year, DHS, the Missouri Information Analysis Center, the Maryland National Guard and Nancy Pelosi have all equated “right-wing extremists”, military vets, tea-partiers, and libertarian political groups, to threats normally associated with terrorists.  Expressing fear of violence from those who espouse none, creates paranoia in law enforcement, who may respond with unfounded intimidation tactics.  And in the UN, the United States in conjunction with Egypt, recently introduced a resolution that aspires to restrict criticism of Islam around the globe.</p>
<p>Under the facade of “sensitive speech” or “responsible speech” radical Muslims and the leftists who join them, seek the authority to limit the words and ideas of those with whom they disagree.  Instead of winning the war of ideas in a fair fight, those in power seek to shut down the debate.  After all, those who have weak arguments or false arguments must be unsettled by those who might win on the merits.</p>
<p>Those who benefit from restrictions on speech are those in power.  Currently, that is the political left.  Critical thinking serves as its enemy.  Dissent is suddenly unpatriotic.  Questions are discouraged.  People assume they hold the right not to be offended.  Expression of alternative viewpoints is precluded.</p>
<p>Academic institutions, once America’s shining example of intellectual diversity, now serve as leftist indoctrination centers.  Worse, some national security threats can no longer be openly discussed by intelligence professionals.  DHS whitewashes the problems.  The media fails to report them.</p>
<p>Free speech serves as the foundation of free and democratic societies.  Without free speech there can be no political opposition. Those who oppose government or mainstream views are oppressed, penalized, imprisoned, or even executed.  All socialist, communist, fascist, and tyrannical regimes know that the first step in stemming political opposition to their power is to stifle free speech.  The Nazis burned books, Stalin outlawed non-state controlled newspapers, and Iran is currently jailing those who peacefully protest June’s election outcome.  In some American journalistic circles, terrorism seems less subject to criticism than objectively reporting its roots.</p>
<p>In western countries, free speech ought not be considered a privilege but a fundamental right.  Its restriction doesn’t merely violate human rights, but additionally constitutes a national security risk.  In order to secure America’s freedom, the public must be informed of freedom’s ideological threats.  Intelligence must be permitted to discuss ideological motivations for terrorism.  The media has a duty, not to be “sensitive” but to report accurately.  Academia has an obligation to foster independent thought.</p>
<p><em>Banned in Britain</em> is an easy, interesting, and enlightening read.  Savage portrays his story in context of the increasing social, political and legal encroachments on western freedom of speech.  Those who speak out with differing, conservative, or controversial viewpoints are incrementally being silenced.  Now an American talk show host can be banned from the country that gave us the Magna Carta.  Will the thousands of listeners who share his views be next?</p>
