ADL BATTLES INTERNET FREE SPEECH

By Rev. Ted Pike

Canadian hate laws are now hitting their intended target:
Christianity.
On Oct. 26 a 21-year-old Canadian woman, Jessica Beaumont, was
fined $1500 for posting online two Bible verses critical of homosexuality.
She was also required to pay $3000 to professional complainer Richard Warman
who brought charges against her. Her crime? She derisively called him "a
Jew."
Jessica posted these verses, which, of course, could be found on
any Bible website: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is
detestable." (Lev.18:22) "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman,
both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their
blood will be on their heads." (Lev. 20:13)
The court ruled:
"Ms. Beaumont claimed, during her testimony, that she based this comment on
her interpretation of a passage in the Bible, adding that she did not care
if Jews would be offended by her ideas. However, irrespective of whether
she 'cares' or not, s.13 of the Act dictates that the repeated communication
via the internet of matter that is likely to expose targeted groups to
hatred or contempt constitutes a discriminatory practice. Whether the
person communicating the matter was in fact its author is immaterial. The
mere act of communicating the material or causing its communication attracts
liability under this Act." 1
Beaumont was ordered to never again post Scripture critical of
homosexuals or any other specially protected group, including Jews. She
faces prison if she disobeys.
Jessica claims Nazi sympathies. Yet that should not distract us
from the fact that Bible verses caused her conviction. As the world moves
toward hate crimes persecution, hate law enforcers usually select victims
with extremist views. They know society will not help these people but will
probably rejoice at their conviction! But the free speech rights of every
person are diminished by the legal precedents meted against extremists.
Persecution of Biblically based "hate" (i.e., Christianity) is
the ultimate goal of B'nai B'rith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress,
creators of Canada's federal hate crime law in 1971. In Canada, these
extensions of ADL possess a powerful tool: federal law banning internet
criticism of Jews and homosexuals. Section 13.1 outlaws communications
"likely" to incite hatred or contempt of members of a federally protected
group. ADL possesses similar statutory tools banning "cyberhate" in most
European countries.
Strategies to End Internet Freedom
But in the U.S., ADL faces stiff First Amendment opposition to
censorship. Here they try other strategies to end free speech in America:
1. ADL puts pressure on search engines like Google to filter out websites
which criticize Zionism or homosexuality. So far, it has not succeeded.
Recently, Google's Israeli representative, Meir Brand, flatly repulsed ADL
requests to ban internet criticism of Zionism. (link to article) ADL has
been similarly rebuffed in the United States. This means scores of videos
critical of Zionism and homosexuality, including my four, still bring light
via the internet into encroaching darkness.
2. Many teens using the internet are victims of online bullies. ADL wants to
create a false mental link between "cyber-bullying" and hate speech.
Through its new program against online bullying, ADL feigns compassion for
these young people. What ADL really wants is to link cyber-bullying with
cyberhate and gain power to advise government on "protecting" vulnerable
teens from criticism of Israel, Jewish control of media or the accuracy of
the six-million figure of Holocaust dead.
3. Through privatizing the internet, cable and phone companies sympathetic
to ADL may be able to discriminate against, and ultimately help eliminate,
"hate sites." These companies include Verizon and Comcast, headed
respectively by ADL/Zionist sympathizers Ivan Seidenburg and Brian Roberts.
Jewish recipients of ADL/Wiesenthal "tolerance" awards, they could provide a
form of censorship without legislation. (See, Threats to a Free Internet).
4. ADL wants to re-define internet free speech as "home-grown terrorism."
Already, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1955, designed to set
up a federal commission to "eradicate" the "cyber-terrorism" which this bill
alleges "streams" from the internet. This primarily alludes to anti-Zionist
alternative internet talk radio. The federal commission, if approved by the
Senate and the President, will construe politically incorrect speech on the
internet as words that hurt, i.e., "verbal violence." H.R. 1955 says this
speech incites extremists to "radicalization," i.e., acts of violence.
Ultimately, as in Canada, such expression, in order to be prosecuted, need
only be thought "likely" to cause intimidation of members of federally
protected groups. (See, In Search of 'Homegrown Terrorists')
5. ADL also considers massive propaganda against critics of Israel or
homosexuality as a weapon against "cyberhate." Some ADL cyber-experts, such
as Christopher Wolf, head of INACH (ADL's worldwide "Institute against
Cyberhate"), believe education against homophobia and anti-Semitism is the
best solution. We should remember that, as we are seeing in Canada, it is
not skinheads and Nazis whom the ADL really deplores; it is evangelical
Christians. ADL has already smeared Traditional Values Coalition as hateful
and implies that other new right websites, such as Focus on the Family and
Family Research Council, which "portray gays and lesbians as subhuman in the
guise of promoting so-called 'family values' ." should be removed from the
internet.
By far, ADL's greatest hope for ending free speech on the
Internet is the federal hate crimes bill, now passed by both houses of
Congress and awaiting approval or veto by Pres. Bush.
In Canada, ADL/B'nai B'rith persuaded Parliament to pass their
hate bill in 1971. It was a small matter a few years later, with arrival of
the internet, to also pass Section 13.1, extending it to internet control.
The same will happen here if the hate bill becomes law.
Ray of Hope
With both Republicans and Democrats dissatisfied with the
National Defense Appropriations Act, H.R. 1585, to which the hate bill is
attached, there is a growing inclination within Congress to reject this arms
bill and create a new one after the first of the year. (See, article by Lou
Chibbaro Jr.) Then the hate bill, either as an amendment or on its own,
would probably have to be approved again by Congress.
Such approval is certain if new right leaders and the American
people remain confident of a Presidential veto and do as little as they did
to protest hate bill passage by the Senate on Sept. 27. (Watch Pike's Video
Report Betrayed: How New Right Leaders Helped Pass the Hate Bill) Yet if we
learn from our mistake and demand the arms and hate bill be voted down, we
may yet redeem this second chance to save freedom.
It is unbelievable how close we are to losing liberty! The hate
bill, as no other legislation in American history, will accomplish that.
Since the arms bill may be overdue five months or longer, primarily through
Democratic opposition, this will almost certainly require Pres. Bush,
desperate to supply funds for the military, to cancel his promise to veto
the hate bill. This means that right now we have no real hope of a
Presidential veto.
It is up to you and me, not the President, to save freedom.
Call your members of the Senate and House immediately saying: Please reject
the National Defense Appropriations Act, HR 1585, with hate bill attached.
Don't vote for any hate crimes legislation.
And, of course, call to God. We face sinister and devious
political maneuvers from Democratic leaders which could yet make possible
hate bill passage. But God is ready and willing to help save America. That
is, if enough Americans are ready and willing to turn from sin and trust in
His mercies.

They don't have a 1st-Amendment up there in Canatopia.

Hmmm ... imagine what it's gonna be like HERE when the
'left' and 'right' get done mutilating OUR constitution.
