Who is Simon Wiesenthal? I ask because he seems to
be a very busy man these days, or at least those working
in his name are very busy. Every time I log on I seem to
have email detailing something or other that Mr. Wiesenthal's
Center is involved in. One would think that the namesake
for a Museum of Tolerance would be busy promoting tolerance,
but such is not the case. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is actively working to silence
organizations around the world, with the cooperation and
apparent approval of our own United States Government.
I took my sons to the Museum of Tolerance at the Simon
Wiesenthal Center over the weekend. I believe in listening
to all sides of a story and wanted to hear the Center's
side. At the end of the four-hour tour I was verbally attacked,
together with a friend, by an angry mini-mob of high school
students. The students used the foulest of foul language,
treated us with contempt, frightened my two sons and ended
their little outburst by chasing our van out of the underground
parking lot. Their teacher was helpless to stop them, although
she tried
Admittedly, I brought on the attack by being so bold
as to question a "holocaust survivor" who had just delivered
a forty-five minute lecture to the room full of students
and teachers. I simply asked the survivor, Mrs. Elizabeth
Mann, why she had told an entire roomful of impressionable
young people that during WWII the Germans made soap out
of Jewish corpses, when even the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum says this is not so. She responded that
she disagreed with the USHMM. How's that? Differences of
opinion are one thing, but arguing in favor of a fact that
was never proven and has been dismissed by historians as
a falsehood is quite another. Especially when one is addressing
students, presumably to educate them, not brainwash them.
I then asked Mrs. Mann why she had told the audience
that the gas chamber at Auschwitz was a dual-purpose shower
room, which with the flip of a switch could be converted
into a homicidal gas chamber. The lethal gas, she had told
us, came out of the showerheads. When I pointed out to her
that all literature regarding Auschwitz describes a room
into which the poison was dropped in granules through holes
in the roof, the room erupted into hisses and boos. Mrs.
Mann did not have to respond, saved by the booing.
Once outside the lecture hall the students called me
over to them and asked me how I could possibly question
such a sweet, elderly woman who had suffered so much. They
accused me of calling her a liar. I was happy to explain
to them, as a mother to my children, that I had not accused
her of lying. I had simply questioned some of the things
that she had said. I looked out into the group and could
see fear in some of the faces, as if they were being confronted
by a lunatic with a gun, and I beseeched them to go to the
USHMM's website and see for themselves what they say about
the soap and Auschwitz. One of the teenagers asked me how
I know that soap wasn't made at Auschwitz and my friend,
a chemist, told them calmly that it would have been physically
impossible to make soap out of human fat in the buildings
at Auschwitz. With each of our responses the group became
more unruly, sarcastic and bigoted. Rather than ask responsible
questions or make clear arguments, they resorted to taunting
us, calling my friend a Nazi and telling us to "f*ck off."
That is what happens to young people who journey through
the Museum of Tolerance. They become decidedly intolerant
of anything critical of Jews, the "holocaust" or Israel.
The entire tour was laced with anti-Catholic and anti-Christian
innuendo, Mrs. Mann's description of Germans was stereotypically
evil and her recollections were so full of inconsistencies
as to be laughable, but all of this was lost on the students.
They had just spent four hours being set up to accept anything
anyone says about Jewish suffering or anti-Semitism
Why are we told that it's wrong to question anything
anyone Jewish tells us? Why is it anti-Semitic to ask Jews
for proof of their claims, just as we hold non-Jews accountable?
Even more important, why are we allowing our children to
be brainwashed by the tens of thousands by the likes of
people like Simon Wiesenthal?
In case you don't know the background of Mr. Wiesenthal
and have bought into the Hollywood image he has created
for himself, it's worth noting that, by his own admission,
Mr. Wiesenthal was a Communist operative during WWII. His
war record is so murky, with so many different "official"
accounts that some have been lead to wonder if he didn't
collaborate with the Nazis. It would certainly seem that
he has something to hide, since the story is rarely told
the same way twice. He and the Center which bears his name
have a very bad habit of lying. Both have been denounced
by Israeli and US Jewish special interest groups. The Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith has acknowledged that the Wiesenthal
Center makes "inaccurate" and "exaggerated claims." In a
1984 internal memorandum, ADL official Justin Finger cited
a Center fund-raising letter that is "replete with factual
misstatements and exaggerations."(Miles Corwin, "Claims
About Anti-Semitic Wave Hit by B'nai B'rith," Los
Angeles Times, Dec. 12, 1984.) During the Gulf War,
Response, the magazine produced by the SWC, reported that
German firms were producing Zyklon B in Iraq to gas Israelis.
It was a lie, of course, but they published it.
Even as I write this, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is
hard at work trying to have a conference on Revisionism
and Zionism blocked by the Lebanese government. They have
put pressure on our Congress, which through our ambassadors,
has "warned" the Lebanese government against letting the
conference take place. Excuse me, but since when does our
Congress have the right, the authority or the audacity to
demand that a sovereign nation censor its citizens and guests?
The Simon Wiesenthal Center claims that the conference will
be anti-Semitic. The last I heard, "anti-Semitic" meant
anti-Jewish, which means that our government is involved
in trying to silence other religious groups (Christian and
Muslim) over another. So much for separation of church and
state!
I have said this before, but I am going to say it again
and again and again. America, we must defend ourselves!
Our children are being systematically brainwashed by known
liars, our tax dollars are partially paying for this anti-Christian,
anti-German, anti-Arab brainwashing and our United States
Congress has become an Israeli lap dog. Even the Israelis
joke that our Congress is Israeli occupied territory.
Enough is enough! It is time to take back our country.
Anyone interested in joining together to form an AMERICAN
organization which will speak for AMERICANS of ALL religions,
please step forward. It is time to go to Congress and remind
them that they are there to work for the people-the American
people-for us!
