Philip Giraldi \u2013 The Unz Review May 23, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Well, if you thought the American Civil War ended back in 1865, you are apparently wrong. No less an authority than President Joe Biden, in a May 13th<\/sup> commencement speech<\/a> to historically black Howard University\u2019s graduates, told the overwhelmingly black students and their families that \u201cThe most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. And I\u2019m not saying this because I\u2019m at a Black HBCU, I say it wherever I go.\u201d Indeed, both Biden and his inert Attorney General Merrick Garland nee Garfinkel have delivered that same message on a number of occasions, but this was the first time it was employed in such a racially charged environment. It was clearly a pre-electoral call to arms against white people in America, placing government sanctioned targets on the backs of whites who are generally peacefully struggling to retain their communities, identities, religion, heritage and culture, all of which are being engulfed by the White House\u2019s tidal wave of self-serving and politically motivated \u201cwoke\u201d promotions.<\/p>\n

Five days later, on the 18th<\/sup>, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released an 80 page report<\/a> revealing that the FBI had deliberately miscategorized its investigations into the events surrounding the January 6th<\/sup> Capitol Hill violent demonstration to substantially inflate the numbers suggesting a dramatic increase in domestic terrorism<\/a> in the United States. The GOP report<\/a>, based largely on whistleblower testimony, stated that \u201cwhistleblowers assert that the FBI pressured agents to reclassify cases as domestic violent extremism (DVE), and even manufactured DVE cases where they may not otherwise exist, while manipulating its case categorization system to feign a national problem.\u201d The FBI\u2019s Washington Field Office deliberately categorized its Capitol disturbance cases to make the rise in DVE cases look more like a national problem than a one-time post-electoral incident.<\/p>\n

The report includes \u201cAccording to whistleblower information, the FBI has manipulated the manner in which it categorized January 6-related investigations to create a misleading narrative that domestic terrorism is organically surging around the country.\u201d The manipulated statistics, based on regarding every individual even peripherally or allegedly involved in an incident as a terrorist suspect rather than as part of a group interaction, were then used to support the Biden Administration\u2019s increasing rhetoric about \u201cdomestic terrorism.\u201d One whistleblower explained how \u201cBy opening a separate case for each individual as opposed to one case with however many subjects are involved, they\u2019ve turned one case into a thousand cases\u2026 And by spreading them to the field, they\u2019ve given the impression that those domestic terror cases are around the country\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Using the new parameters, the FBI Director Christopher Wray was able to testify<\/a> before the Senate Judiciary Committee in August 2022 that \u201cthe number of FBI investigations of suspected DVEs has more than doubled since the spring of 2020.\u201d The FBI was, in fact, conducting approximately 1,400 pending domestic terrorism investigations at the end of fiscal 2020, a number that jumped to 2,700 domestic terrorism investigations by the end of fiscal 2021. The Bureau arrested approximately 180 domestic terrorism subjects in 2020, a number that increased to 800 such subjects in 2021.<\/p>\n

And then there was the May 15th<\/sup> release of the long-awaited Durham Report on the shenanigans engaged in by Team Clinton in 2016 to use the nation\u2019s security apparatus to make it appear that Donald Trump was being directed by the Russian government. Predictably, there will likely be no political or legal consequences relating to the revelation. No one in the FBI or CIA , or even in the Clinton campaign, will be held accountable for efforts made to influence the outcome of the 2016 election and to denigrate Trump personally using what they knew to be lies. The FBI leadership has reportedly apologized and says it will not engage in such activity in the future, but many are skeptical, particularly as there was something of a repeat performance in 2020 involving the letter signed by 51 members of the intelligence and national security community claiming that the Hunter laptop allegations were nothing more than a Russian disinformation operation. \u201cWill it ever end?\u201d one might ask.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more. Nina Jankowicz, who made the news briefly back when she was about to assume the post of the Department of Homeland Security Disinformation Czar in April last year before she abruptly resigned three weeks later on May 18th<\/sup> is now, one year later, suing Fox News<\/a>. She claims the network has been \u201cwaging a campaign of \u2018vitriolic lies\u2019 against her that amounts to a threat to democracy [by] damaging her reputation as a specialist in conspiracy theories and disinformation campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden simultaneously got cold feet about systematically criminalizing what Americans were saying and writing and shut down<\/a> The Disinformation Governance Board abruptly in the wake of attacks by Fox and others that the new DHS division Jankowicz led was itself part of a conspiracy to censor rightwing comment spearheaded by President Biden. Janowicz is claiming that no less than Tucker Carlson, the news channel\u2019s then primetime ratings star fired by Fox<\/a> recently in the wake of the Dominion settlement, led the charge. In his opening monologue<\/a> on April 28th<\/sup> 2022, Carlson described Jankowicz as a \u201cmoron\u201d and said that what she was doing<\/a> constituted a \u201cfull-scale attack on free speech.\u201d He also referred to the disinformation board as \u201cthe new Soviet America\u201d.<\/p>\n

Finally, what would the week be like without hearing more about the Biden Administration\u2019s endless war against anti-Semitism? There were predictably numerous anti-Semitism developments during the week but the most compelling was the demand by Deborah Lipstadt, the US government\u2019s renowned holocaust expert who serves as Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, that one of the world\u2019s richest men Elon Musk must be taken to task<\/a> for daring to criticize George Soros. Lipstadt elaborated how \u201cYou can criticize George Soros \u2014 many people do \u2014 for his economic policies, even for his political programs, for his foundation. But when you turn him into the Rothschild of the 21st century, then you\u2019re engaging in antisemitism. When you link his activities to his Jewish identity, when you disparage his activities \u2014 some of which I may disagree with \u2014 and when you turn him into this villainous character, which has antisemitic overtures, you\u2019ve crossed the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lipstadt was responding to Musk\u2019s tweet<\/a> \u201cSoros reminds me of Magneto.\u201d He was comparing Soros to a Marvel supervillain\/hero character named Magneto, who is also Jewish like Soros and, also like him, a claimed holocaust survivor. Lipstadt believes that even mentioning the Jewish globalist Soros, or referring to someone as a \u201cglobalist\u201d or \u201ccosmopolitan,\u201d just might be considered as \u201cinvoking antisemitic tropes,\u201d as it implies that they are Jews. Per Lipstadt, \u201cWhat you\u2019re saying is Jews do not have loyalty to the country in which they live in, that they have loyalty one to the other and that they are out to destroy the countries in which they live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

And you will be hearing more<\/a> from Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, who also states flatly that \u201cAntisemitism is not a niche issue\u2026it is an existential threat to democracy,\u201d possibly later this week when President Biden will be unveiling the first-ever national plan to counter \u201canti-Jewish bigotry.\u201d She explains how \u201cAmerica has never done something like a national plan to fight antisemitism, which involves most of the major agencies of the US government. There will be some things that people will disagree with. But when I see the time and effort that has gone in by White House, by high-ranking individuals, it\u2019s a message that we take this seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plan was developed in recent months by an interagency task force<\/a> created by Joe Biden last December. It incorporates claimed conversations with more than 1,000 Jewish community leaders across denominations in the United States. President Biden, at May 9th<\/sup>\u2019s White House celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month, said it will \u201cinclude more than 200 measures that government agencies, social media platforms and elected officials can adopt to counter rising antisemitism.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is considerable irony in all of this much ado about little based on deliberately inflated numbers<\/a> promoted largely by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) claiming that antisemitism is surging. Neither the hideous Jonathan Greenblatt of ADL nor Dr. Lipstadt has suggested to their Israeli friends that the sometimes negative perception of Jews in America might improve if the self-declared Jewish state were to stop killing Palestinian children. Indeed, real antisemitic prejudice that produces negative consequences is hard to identify as American Jews have notably become the best educated and wealthiest demographic in the United States. Though only two per cent of the population, they dominate in key economic and social sectors to include finance, entertainment, the media and education. They occupy many if not most of the key policy making positions in the Biden Administration and are greatly overrepresented in Congress and in government in general. They constantly seek and regularly obtain benefits that accrue only to them, like the 90% of Homeland Security discretionary grants that go to them for \u201csecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

That new \u201cmeasures\u201d are being implemented to give Jews even more enhanced protected status that directly limits free speech might be considered ridiculous if it were not so downright dangerous, one more step in handing the keys of the kingdom over to an autocratic and self-centered tribe that describes itself as \u201cchosen\u201d by God. We will no doubt be hearing a lot more about their victimhood over the summer to justify what repressive new measures will be put in place. Will criticizing the so-called holocaust and the apartheid state of Israel become hate crimes with large fines and jail time attached? Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
