PART 4 OF 4: THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT THE ADL

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT THE A.D.L.
By E.I.R.Editors


CHAPTER 7 

Railroad!

An early March 1986—within days of the assassination of Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme, A.D.L Fact-Finding department chief Irwin Suall was en route to Stockholm. An Oxford University-trained Fabian Socialist, Suall was the A.D.L's longtime top dirty trickster. Since 1978, with the publication of the book Dope, Inc, Suall's efforts had been almost obsessively focused against Lyndon LaRouche, the American political economist who had commissioned the anti-drug study published by E.I.R. 

Suall's trans-Atlantic voyage to Stockholm was in pursuit of that obsession. 

Working in tandem with the East German secret police (Stasi), the Soviet K.G.B, Swedish socialists and N.B.C-TV, Suall helped launch the disinformation campaign blaming LaRouche and his Swedish collaborators in the European Labor Party for the Palme assassination. 

Just as Suall's efforts were beginning to bear fruit with a series of "LaRouche killed Palme" smear stories in the U.S., Swedish and Soviet press, the A.D.L trickster was suddenly confronted with a major crisis: 

On March 16, 1986, two LaRouche-backed candidates—Mark Fairchild and Janice Hart—won the Illinois Democratic Party primary elections for lieutenant governor and secretary of state, respectively. The LaRouche candidates' victories were no fluke. LaRouche-backed candidates had been winning between 20-40 percent of the vote in Democratic primary elections in different parts of the country since the early 1980's. A leading Democratic Party pollster had written frantic messages to the Illinois state party chairman warning about a LaRouche upset months before the election. 

Not surprisingly, the upset victory by the LaRouche slate was electrifying. The Wall Street and Freemason circles who own the A.D.L were shocked into action. 

Suall hurried back to New York City where he oversaw the preparation and mass distribution of a violent A.D.L smear sheet against LaRouche. Over the next few months, according to records of the Federal Election Commission, over 6,000 copies of the A.D.L libel—at a cost of at least $10,000-were circulated to every member of Congress, 1,580 news outlets and other government offices and opinion makers. Tens of thousands erf media attacks against LaRouche—branding him as everything from an anti-Semite, to a K.G.B agent, to a neo-Nazi to an international terrorist—were published in the United States alone. Among some anti-Zionist lobby and Third World-circles, the A.D.L even accused LaRouche of being a closet "mole" for the Israeli Mossad! The invariant in all the contradictory slanders conjured up by the A.D.L was to scare people away from the LaRouche political movement.

The A.D.L smear campaign was a panicked and flagrant violation of its tax-exempt status. It was also a violation of F.E.C rules, which prohibit a tax-exempt organization from engaging in politicking. On June 16, 1987, the F.E.C officially acknowledged that the A.D.L action against LaRouche was illegal; but a few months later, the commissioners decided they would take no action against the League. 

The smear campaign was meeting with only modest political success, although it had a severe effect as financial warfare. LaRouche-Democrat candidates continued to do well. In 1988, Claude Jones, a longtime and well known LaRouche activist, was elected chairman of the Harris County, Texas Democratic Party, shortly after the Illinois victories. Harris County, which includes Houston, is one of the largest electoral districts in the United States, and a Democratic Party stronghold. Jones beat a powerful incumbent to take over the party post. 

The Washington Post in May 1986-summing up the consensus among the liberal establishment—editorialized that Lyndon LaRouche must be in jail, not on television, by the. time of the 1988 presidential elections. 

An Already Ongoing Frameup Effort 

On Oct. 6, 1986—less than seven months after the Illinois primary—400 federal, state and county police invaded the offices of the LaRouche-associated Campaigner Publications in Leesburg, Va. FBI and Virginia State Police special sniper units were backed up by a Loudoun County SWAT Team. Helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and even an armored personnel carrier were held in reserve at a 4-H fairground a short distance from the farm where Lyndon LaRouche and his wife were staying. in feet, recently disclosed government documents demonstrate Pentagon involvement in the Leesburg raid—specifically the Special Operations unit of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 

The mobilization of an invasion force larger than that used in Grenada in September 1983 to serve two search warrants and four arrest warrants, was not the result of over-zealous planning. Since no later than 1982, Irwin Suall, Mira Lansky Boland (the Jonathan Jay Pollard linked C.I.A agent-turned A.D.L dirty trickster) and an army of other A.D.L agents and assets had been engaged in a systematic campaign to sic the government on LaRouche. By the time the raid took place, the govermnent raiding party had been so jacked up by A.D.L disinformation that they were expecting to run into a terrorist armed camp that would make the Irish Republican Army green with envy. 

The March 1986 Illinois upset victory provided the A.D.L and its collaborators in what became known as the Get LaRouche Strike Force with the opportunity and motive to go all-out. 

How did it work? 

Since the spring of 1982, according to the A.D.L's own published accounts, Suall and company were closely collaborating with Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. secretary of state, and longtime LaRouche hater. In August 1982, Kissinger wrote to then-F.B.I Director William Webster the first of a series of personal letters demanding that the F.B.I move to shut down the LaRouche political movement. In a subsequent, more detailed note in November, Kissinger's attorney lied that LaRouche had foreign intelligence ties—a lie calculated to activate government "active measures" under the guidelines of Executive Order 12333. E.O.12333, signed by President Ronald Reagan in December 1981, gave the C.I.A, the F.B.I and the Pentagon intelligence services broad latitude to investigate and disrupt groups suspected of working for hostile foreign governments. 

In January 1983, Kissinger's allies on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (P.F.I.A.B) made a formal request for such an active measures campaign against LaRouche. The F.B.I, operating through Judge Webster and Oliver "Buck" Revell, quickly launched such an effort. 

Ironically, as the Kissinger-A.D.L wing of the national security and law enforcement apparatus of the federal government was activating its illegal war against LaRouche, President Reagan—with the backing of his national security adviser Judge William Clark, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and other senior military and security advisers—was moving ahead with the Strategic Defense Initiative, a plan based on a concept advanced by LaRouche even before the Reagan administration came into office. According to court testimony in Roanoke, Va. by Richard Morris, Judge Clark's NSC security chief, LaRouche had worked with the Reagan White House on at least eight national security projects—including S.D.I—most of which are still classified to this day. 

Was this a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing? Hardly! The A.D.L and Kissinger were painfully aware of LaRouche's growing influence within the Reagan administration, and they were out to break the rules to shut down all the LaRouche-Reagan ties. 

According to court testimony by the ADL's Mira Lansky Boland on May 24, 1990 in Roanoke, Va., she was an active participant from day one in the illegal government covert operation against LaRouche that led to the October 1986 raid, and a series of federal and state criminal prosecutions in Boston; New York City; Alexandria, Leesburg and Roanoke, Va.; and Los Angeles. 

The black propaganda aspect of that covert operation which we picked up in Stockholm at the beginning of this chapter was launched at an April 1983 meeting at the New York City office of Wall Street broker and self-styled intelligence agent John Train. Mira Lansky Boland was present at that secret meeting, representing the ADL. National Security Council consultant Roy Godson, a longtime ally of the ADL, was also present, along with a dozen journalists and editors from such organizations as NBC News, Reader's Digest, The New Republic and Business Week. A CIA funding conduit deeply involved in the secret Iran-Contra operations, the Smith Richardson Foundation, provided the cash for the orchestrated smear campaign against LaRouche. 

While much of the anti-LaRouche propaganda spewed out of NBC, The New Republic, the Wall Street Journal and Reader's Digest consisted of name-calling aimed at scaring off active and prospective LaRouche supporters, enough charges of "terrorism" and "international espionage" were thrown in to assure that federal and state prosecutors would be forced to maintain open investigative files and, eventually, to launch grand jury probes. 

The "kill phase" of the A.D.L-led dirty war against LaRouche was already well underway when the spring 1986 events in Illinois took place. 

Financial Warfare 

The A.D.L-John Train black propaganda campaign was not merely aimed at discouraging voters from pulling the levers for LaRouche candidates on election day. 

To successfully throw LaRouche in jail—or worse— the A.D.L set out to bankrupt the LaRouche publishing operations and turn some of LaRouche's own supporters and financial backers against him. 

Spending millions of dollars, and working with groups like the C.I.A-spawned Cult Awareness Network (C.A.N), A.D.L dirty tricksters targeted thousands of LaRouche campaign contributors, whose names, addresses and phone numbers were maintained in public files at the F.E.C. The A.D.L-C.A.N operators would contact relatives, financial advisers and friends of the LaRouche supporters, and literally subject them to scare-tactic behavior modification. The techniques used were often those developed in the secret laboratories of the C.I.A and the F.B.I for use against enemy prisoners of war and captured spies. Through these highly illegal actions, the A.D.L built up a profile list of weak and vulnerable people, many senior citizens, whose only "crime" was that they financially supported the legitimate political campaign activities of Lyndon LaRouche. The names of these targets were passed on to the Department of Justice's Get LaRouche Strike Force in a fashion reminiscent of the worst of the Nazi Gestapo operations. 

In May 1988, after 92 days of trial, the first federal prosecution of Lyndon LaRouche and a half-dozen of his associates came to a screeching halt when Boston District Court Judge Robert Keeton declared a mistrial. Evidence of wild government misconduct—implicating Oliver North and Vice President George Bush—had disrupted the trial, so that the government wanted to be done with it. As press reports later showed, it had also convinced the jury that any criminal activity associated with the case had been committed by the government, not by Lyndon LaRouche. Prosecution claims of credit card fraud by LaRouche campaign fundraisers and publications salesmen had been thoroughly discredited. 

The collapse of the first government effort at framing up Lyndon LaRouche was a direct blow to the ADL. Mira Lansky Boland and Boston ADL official Sally Greenberg had been virtually integrated into the prosecution staff of Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Markham and Mark Rasch. 

Although suffering a bad setback in Boston, the A.D.L driven prosecution strike force had already opened up a second front in its illegal drive to wipe out the LaRouche movement. 

In April 1987, Loudoun County, Va. Deputy Sheriff Don Moore, a Vietnam War Marine bunkmate of Ollie North and a secret paid agent of the ADL-CAN, wrote a patently false affidavit for federal prosecutors, claiming that LaRouche and company were getting ready to pick up stakes and go underground to avoid the pending federal prosecution and the prospect of paying large fines. The Moore affidavit was then used by then-U.S. Attorney Henry Hudson to induce a federal bankruptcy judge to order an involuntary bankruptcy against three LaRouche-identified companies, including two publications with a combined circulation of 250,000 readers. In a highly illegal "hearing" at which no stenographic records were made and where no attorneys representing the three entities were present, the judge was convinced to sign the seizure order. The next day, U.S. Marshals padlocked and seized the same offices that had been raided six months earlier.

Three years later, the same federal bankruptcy court fudge, after a full trial of the bankruptcy action, reversed his initial ruling and threw out the involuntary bankruptcy, ruling that the government had filed the petitions in "bad faith" and had committed "fraud upon the court." A higher court upheld that ruling, and the government chose not to appeal. 

Why appeal it? The damage had already been done! 

With the bankrupting of the LaRouche companies, federal prosecutors and F.B.I agents stepped in to advise thousands of LaRouche supporters that millions of dollars in loans they had made to those companies would not be paid—unless they cooperated with the government railroad of LaRouche. 

The claim that money would be paid back if the "victims" played ball with the government prosecutors was another Big Lie. Once the printing presses were shut down, and the publications discontinued under the government trustees, the companies were penniless. No money could be paid back—because the government had taken the viable, successful publishing operations and driven them into the ground: first, through intensive A.D.L propaganda branding LaRouche a monster, and next through the fraudulent bankruptcy proceeding itself. 

In the majority of cases, the LaRouche supporters knew it was the government, not LaRouche, that was behind the bankruptcy and their personal losses. The former supporters who did succumb to the government pressure tactics were invariably those whose families,bankers, friends, etc. were already sucked in by the A..D.L/C.A.N dirty war. 

Government prosecutors admitted under oath that Mira Lansky Boland of the A.D.L had served as the "clearinghouse" for trial witnesses in all of the federal and state prosecutions of LaRouche and his associates. Lansky Boland worked from the outset with Don Moore, the Loudoun deputy sheriff who authored and signed the fraudulent bankruptcy affidavit. In September 1992, Don Moore was arrested by the F.B.I for his role in a plot to kidnap two LaRouche supporters. Moore was working for the A.D.L-allied Cult Awareness Network in the kidnapping scheme. That case is scheduled to go to trial at the end of 1992. 

When in December 1988, a federal jury in Alexandria, Va. convicted LaRouche and six associates on conspiracy fraud charges stemming from the government and A.D.L-instigated bankruptcies, Mira Lansky Boland was the only non-government official to attend the "victory party" at the prosecutors' office. The conviction had been won on the basis of a pretrial order by Judge Albert V. Bryan, Jr. forbidding defense attorneys from informing the jury that the government had been responsible for the bankruptcy. Back in 1987, Bryan had been the judge who initially upheld that bankruptcy action. At the sentencing of LaRouche and the others in January 1989, Judge Bryan boasted that Boston trial Judge Robert Keeton "owed him a cigar" for ensuring that LaRouche and the others were so quickly convicted and shipped off to prison. 

The jailing of LaRouche in what amounted to a thoroughly unjust life sentence did not end the A.D.L drive to destroy LaRouche and his political movement. The state of Virginia, as part of the A.D.L's Get LaRouche dirty war, had joined in the feeding frenzy by indicting over 20 LaRouche associates on state charges stemming from the identical bankruptcy scheme. 

In a series of trials in Roanoke, Va., the A.D.L was caught red-handed in a judge buying effort. State Judge Clifford Weckstein, a political protege of Virginia A.D.L chief Murray Janus and other top state A.D.L figures, was provided with a full collection of A.D.L smear sheets on LaRouche by the League; In a series of back and forth letters released by Weckstein in the trial of one of the LaRouche defendants, it was revealed that Janus and other local A.D.L officials had mooted they would back Weckstein for a seat on the Virginia State Supreme Court The implication that his handling of the LaRouche prosecutions would be crucial to his future career on the bench was apparently not lost on the judge. Michael Billington, a LaRouche associate who had already served over two years in federal prison as the result of the Alexandria federal case, Was sentenced by Weckstein to 77 years in state prison on patently phony loan fraud charges.

CHAPTER 8 

The ADL Peddles the New Age

In the summer of 1989, the entire world was reeling in shock and horror over the discovery of a satanic burial ground on a ranch in Matamoros, Mexico. Dozens of mutilated, cannibalized corpses were discovered. 

The grisly details of the kidnapping and human sacrifice of one of the cult's victims, Texas college student - Marie Kilroy, prompted Texas State legislators to draft a law stiffening the penalties for satanic ritualistic crimes, and making it a criminal offense to conduct certain occult rituals. The governor of Texas convened a special session of the legislature to get the bill passed. 

The A.D.L, while peddling bills all across the country that would make it a crime to think anti-Semitic thoughts, launched an all-out effort to defeat the Texas crackdown on Satanic crimes, branding the bill "antiSemitic"! In its jaded logic, the ADL claimed that, technically, the bill made it illegal for rabbis to perform circumcisions on infants. The vast majority of the Jewish community in Texas, including many leading rabbis, refused to buy into the ADL's twisted interpretation, and supported the bill. 

Some people began to smell a rat. And they were right. 

Not only has the League been an integral part of the organized crime structure that has wrecked America's youth through the peddling of drugs; but as a pivotal institution within the Scottish Rite Freemasonry Southern Jurisdiction, the ADL has been a part of the centuryold effort to paganize America under a variety of labels: "secular humanism," "new religions," and, most recently, "the New Age." 

Not surprisingly, as investigators probed the higher levels of the "New Age" plot, they found that the New York City Cathedral of St John the Divine, the headquarters of A.D.L patrons Bishop Paul Moore and Canon Edward West, was at the very center of the paganization effort. While nominally part of the Anglican-Protestant Episcopal persuasion, the Cathedral was actually the underground headquarters of the Luciferian movement in America. 

Killing the Judeo-Christian Tradition 

Since 1948, the A.D.L has devoted over one-third of its legal efforts to support activity that may rightfully be called "the plot to kill God." The A.D.L has filed dozens of amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs in legal cases often settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, whose results have included banning school prayer, banning released time for religious instruction, banning Christmas carols and spirituals, banning celebration of Judeo-Christian holidays, and most recently banning the Bible as unfit for the classroom; causing federal, state, and local governments to be "neutral" on religious issues, as well as compelling them to cease participation in any display of art associated with the Christian religion, whether during a religious holiday season or other time; and banning prayers in courtrooms, together with religious oaths for courts and government officials. 

While the A.D.L has concentrated upon uprooting the traditions of Western Christian civilization from public life-e.g. by throwing Christianity out the front door of schools—it has not protested as "New Age religion" has been ushered in the back door, now to permeate society. In fact, while condemning any manifestation of Christianity at every turn, the A.D.L has used First Amendment arguments in court and elsewhere to defend witchcraft and peyote (an hallucinogen derived from a type of cactus) cults. 

The A.D.L has not acted alone in this drive to "paganize" America. It has enjoyed the assistance of some friends in very high places, including the highest court in the land. It began in earnest on Feb. 10, 1947, when Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black rendered the majority opinion in the case of Everson v. Board of Education, Black, who was a lifelong member of the Ku Klux Klan and 33rd-Degree member of the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish lite Freemasonry, enshrined the following phrase: "In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between Church and State.'"

During the period of time when the attention of the Court seemed to focus on religion-clause cases, roughly 1949-56, seven members of the Craft served on the Court along with a former Mason, Justice Sherman Minion. Masons continued to dominate the Court, while most of the decisions to uproot Christianity were made, until 1971. The Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, to which the preponderance of Supreme Court justices belonged from the period of J939 to 1971, is the self-described "New Age" Jurisdiction. 

As Paul A. Fisher aptly demonstrates in his book Behind the Lodge Door, the original intent of the religious establishment clause by the Founding Fathers, who shaped this constitutional instrument, was to guard against the state's establishing a theocracy of the Roman cult variety that would persecute those practicing the tenets of Western Christian civilization upon which the republic had been founded. Yet, through Justice Black's "wall" decision in Everson and hundreds of subsequent federal, state and local rulings, a Manichean religious cult is on the verge of establishing a "New Age" theocracy in the U.S. today. 

The Founding Fathers were deeply religious, and whatever problems may have existed in that regard, they believed that each individual had been created in imago viva Dei, in the living image of God, with a divine spark of reason, which they expressed in the principle that "all men are created equal under God." The fallacy of the "wall of separation" cult dogma is shown by the Northwest Ordinance, passed in 1787 and readopted in 1789, which provided that "religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good, government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." And, in his Farewell Address to the nation in 1796, President George Washington declared that "religion and morality are indispensable supports [for] political prosperity," and warned that we could not expect "that national morality can prevail in the exclusion of religious principle." 

Undoubtedly, Justice Hugo Black's masonicaily dominated Court would have found these sentiments to be unconstitutional. 

As Justice Black's son said of him, he was a man who "could not whip himself up to a belief in God or the divinity of Christ, life after death, or Heaven or Hell." When he first ran for the U.S. Senate, public condemnation compelled Black on July 9, 1925 to "retire from the Robert E. Lee Klan No. 1, but he closed his letter of resignation to the Kligrapp [Secretary], Tours In the Sacred Unbreakable Bond.'" 

Having won election, Black participated in a secret Klan ceremony witnessed by investigative reporter Ray Sprigle on Sept. 2, 1926, where Senator Black was welcomed back to the Klan with a "grand passport" of life membership at the Birmingham, Ala. state Klan meeting. At the ceremony, Black swore never to divulge, even under threat of death, the secrets of the Invisible Empire. And he said, "I swear I will most zealously and valiantly shield and preserve by any and all justifiable means and methods ... white supremacy... All to which I have sworn by this oath, I will seal with my blood, be Thou my witness, Almighty God. Amen." 

Ironically, although Sprigle's truthful articles, were carried in all the major papers, it was the two flagship journals of American liberalism, The Nation and The New Republic, that chose to believe Black's denials that he was a Klan member in the 1920's, in a scandal that continued after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed Senator Black to the Supreme Court in 1937. 

Fortifying the Wall 

The A.D.L has been among the strongest upholders of lifelong Ku Klux Klan member and Mason Justice Hugo Black's "wall of separation" decision, beginning a year after the 1947 Everson opinion containing this new language. A history of that involvement can be found in the A.D.L's pamphlet, Friend of the Court 19471982: To Secure Justice and Fair Treatment for All by Jill Donnie Snyder and Eric K. Goodman. In the chapter tided "Separation of Church and State" we find the following: 

"Since 1948, A.D.L has filed amicus briefs in practically every major church-state case, consistently arguing for a strict interpretation of the establishment clause... A.D.L continues to work for a strict separation of church and state, a commitment that dates back to the League's first involvement in an establishment clause dispute: McCollum v. Board of Education. ... In the Everson opinion ... the Court emphasized in strong language the parameters of the establishment clause. ... A.D.L stands firmly committed to a strict separation between church and state. The wall of separation must be fortified and strengthened, so that the religious freedom dreamed of by Jefferson and the other founding fathers, may endure now and forever, an example to the world." 

Among the actions in which the A.D.L has been the historic friend of a masonic-ally dominated Court and of KKKer Justice Black's "wall" reinterpretation of the establishment clause are: 

1) Released time From the 1948 McCollum case until the present day, the ADL has fought released time from schools, which gives a release for students to participate in religious education. 

One of the most recent cases was Doe v. Human, which was affirmed when the Supreme Court refused to hear it, and in which the A.D.L had filed an amicus brief. It resulted in the school system of Gravette, Ark. having to end the practice of released time for religious instruction in the schools on a voluntary basis requiring parental approval. In its pamphlet ADL in the Courts: Litigation Docket 1991, the ADL states that this story time program in Gravette "presents at least two inescapable infringements on the establishment clause-impermissible inclusion of religion in the public schools and forbidden state indoctrination of a particular faith.", 

Paul Dee Human, the superintendent, of schools in Gravette, told a reporter for Executive Intelligence Review, "By such cases the stage is being set for a one world religion. Kids are being brainwashed to death by the New Age religions, and it has become harder and harder to take a Christian stand.... There is no question but that the real agenda of groups like the A.D.L is to usher in the New Age. The more the New Age is brought in, the lesser the boundaries on moral action. If it's right for you, it's right' is the guideline of the New Age." 

2) Parochial aid. The question of public aid for parochial schools was the centerpiece of the Everson decision written by Justice Hugo Black, and there have been dozens of parochial aid suits since then. For over thirty years, one of the A.D.L's strongest allies in such cases has been Americans United for Separation of Church and State. According to the managing editor of The Scottish Rite Journal, Dr. John W. Boettjer, Sovereign Grand Commander C. Fred Kleinknecht relied heavily upon the staff of Americans United for Separation of Church and State to write his call to arms in the November 1991 issue defending Jefferson's "wall of separation," which Kleinknecht calls "the cornerstone of the Constitution." 

Boettjer is himself a member of the National Advisory Council of Americans United Against Church and State, that has worked closely with the A.D.L Another collaborator of Americans United is Gregg Ivers, who wrote the recent ADL call to arms, which parallels that of Supreme Commander Kleinknecht, tided Lowering The Wall: Religion and the Supreme Court in the 1980's. 

The full import of Justice Black's membership in the Southern Jurisdiction's New Age religious cult emerges in a letter that 33rd-Degree Mason and Grand Prior of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, McIlyar H. Lichliter, wrote to Justice Harold Burton, two years after Everson The letter described Lichliter's pilgrimage to the tomb of Jacques De Molay, who had been Grand Master of the Knights Templar. De Molay was condemned as a heretic after Pope Clement V and the French King Phillip le Bel ordered an investigation, which discovered that upon initiation into this crusading order, members were required to spit upon an image of Christ's face. The Templars were shown to be a Manichean cult, practicing a form of the Middle Eastern Baphomet paganism as an initiation into their inner secrets. 

After Jacques De Molay was executed in 1314, as 19th-century Scottish Rite Supreme Commander General Albert Pike stated in his book Morals and Dogma, renegade Templar's traveling to Scotland helped King Bruce found a precursor of the Scottish Rite, which is also part of the ritual of the New Age Southern Jurisdiction, known as the 30th Degree Knight Kadosh, otherwise known as the "Holy Knight," "Knight of the Temple" and "Degree of Revenge." 

According to Pike, the Knights Templar were from the very beginning "devoted to... opposition to the tiara of Rome and the crown of its Chiefs...." Their object, Pike said, was to acquire influence and wealth, then to "intrigue and at need fight to establish the Johnnite or Gnostic and Kabbalistic dogma." 

According to author Paul Fisher, "The former Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite [Pike] also asserted that the secret movers of the French Revolution had sworn upon the tomb of De Molay to overthrow Throne and Altar. Then, when King Louis XVI of France was executed (1793), "half the work was done; thenceforward, the Army of the Temple was to direct all its efforts against the Pope," 

The United States' Founding Fathers well knew the seditious nature of the Scottish Rite, which President George Washington, in a letter to Minister G.W. Snyder, denounced for its "diabqlical tenets" and for having unleashed "the pernicious principles" of the Jacobin mob during the French Revolution. 

3) Prayer. These "wall of separation" cases began in the early 1960s, and they continue today. In the interim, the Supreme Court, with the full approval of the A.D.L, has been involved in banning non-denominational prayer to a monotheistic God, voluntary prayer, and silent prayer in schools, courtrooms, and at other federal, state, and local government functions. In a related case in which the A.D.L filed an amicus brief in 1961, Torcaso v.Watkins, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional for people seeking public office to be required to take an oath that they believe in the existence of God. 

In 1963, with School District of Abington Township v. Schempp, the Supreme Court agreed with the A.D.L's amicus argument that Bible reading at the start of a school day is unconstitutional. In the recent case of Kenneth Roberts v. Kathleen Madigan, as we shall see, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that banned the Bible from being in the schoolroom unless a teacher hid it in his desk. In its pamphlet Friend of the Court, the A.D.L argues that it is seeking to keep the government completely out of religion and vice versa, lest the Jewish minority be overwhelmed by a Christian majority: 

"The horrible consequences of an officially sponsored religion can be seen in the Crusades and, in one of the darkest periods in Jewish history, the Spanish Inquisition. ... A.D.L works to ensure a strict separation of church and state so as to protect minority religions... Judaism is a central concern for the League." 

But the A.D.L's hostility, rather than being directed against Christianity, is actually directed against the entirety of the Judeb-Christian tradition, demonstrated when the A.D.L filed amicus briefs to ban display of the Ten Commandments in the classroom in cases paralleling the school prayer issue. 

Perhaps the most ironic case, given the A.D.L's claims to represent Jewish interests, was its stand in the 1980 Ten Commandments case, Stone v. Graham, where the plaintiffs challenged a Kentucky statute which required the posting of the Ten Commandments in each school classroom. The A.D.L ended up fighting a small-print statement after the last Commandment which read: 

"The secular application of the Ten Commandments is clearly seen in its adoption as the fundamental legal code of Western civilization and the common law of the United States." In November 1980, the A.D.L agreed with the Supreme Court's decision that this was unconstitutional. 

4) Christmas carols, hymns, spirituals. Nearly all of these song forms, which are a most efficient prophylactic to protect children from the horrors of the rock-drug/sex counterculture, and are a bridge to classical music, have been all but banned with the agreement of the A.D.L from public schools. One recent case, Florey v. Sioux Falls School District 49-5, grew out of a 1978 school board policy which allowed the singing of Christmas carols, the performance of religious plays, and the display of religious symbols in Sioux Falls public schools. 

Although the ADL filed amicus briefs at the level of the Eighth US. Circuit Court of Appeals and with the Supreme Court; the latter refused to hear the case, thereby affirming the decision of the Appeals Court that such actions were constitutional, much to the dismay of the A.D.L 

5) Equal Access Act (E.A.A). Another decision that drew cries of alarm from both the A.D.L and the New Age Southern Jurisdiction that the "wall was being lowered" involved the E.A.A. In a June 4, 1990 press release, the A.D.L said: "The Supreme Court decision today upholding the Equal Access Amendment erodes the wall separating church and state." The case, Board of Education of West-side Community Schools v. Mergens, involved the efforts of a student, Bridget C. Mergens, to have equal access to school facilities for a Christian Bible study club. 

According to the A.D.L release, "The Court held that student sponsored religious clubs in public high schools do not violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment." In its amicus brief, the A.D.L argued that the E.A.A was unconstitutional, since it involves the public schools promoting religious activities impermissible from the standpoint of the cult dogma underlying the "wall of separation" opinion of Justice Hugo Black. 

In its 1991 A.D.L in the Courts pamphlet, the A.D.L describes its amicus brief as having argued the following: 

"The brief contended that both the legislative history of the EAA and the language of the statute itself reveal its impermissible religious purpose. The EAA arose following several unsuccessful legislative and constitutional initiatives to promote religion in public schools. When these efforts failed, Congress adopted the free speech analysis from Widmar v. Vincent 454 U.S. 263 (1983), characterizing student religious activity as a protected form of free expression." 

What particularly disturbed the A.D.L was that by granting Christian clubs equal access to school facilities, where there was an open forum for the debate of often competing ideas, the Supreme Court in upholding the E.A.A had somehow given undue emphasis to the free speech clause of the First Amendment over the establishment clause interpretation of Justice Black. 

6) Religious symbols. As a result of adjudication since the Everson decision, it has become unconstitutional for schools and governments to celebrate Christmas or other Christian holidays with the display of such religious symbols as crosses, Nativity scenes, or depictions of Jesus. Instead, what must be substituted are Santa Claus, reindeer, and Christmas trees, which are of a secular nature and tend to substitute the material aspect of gifts, rather than the religious significance of the founding of Christianity, with the birth of Christ. 

The A.D.L has participated in a number of such cases. Among the recent ones described in its 1991 ADL in the Courts pamphlet is Doe v. Small 934 F. 2d 743 (7th Circuit) 1991: "At issue in this case was the constitutionality of a public park display of numerous large paintings depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ." 

The ADL wrote an amicus brief in this case from Ottawa, Illinois, saying that the local government's assistance to the Jaycees in preparing the annual display, including the use of public land, violated the "wall of separation." Writes the ADL: "The brief contended that the city is not merely acknowledging or celebrating Christmas, bat that it is instead supporting Christianity." 

Yet, in the case of American Jewish Congress v. City of Beverly Hills, Case No. CV. 90-6521, when the American Jewish Congress filed suit against the Lubovitchers for erecting a menorah to celebrate Hanukkah on public property, the ADL worked out a compromise whereby the menorah could be displayed along with a large Christmas tree on land that did not face public buildings. 

7) Banning the Bible On June 29, 1992, the Supreme Court let stand a ruling in the case of Kenneth Roberts v. Kathleen Madigan and Adams County School District No. 50, that the Constitution prohibits an elementary public school teacher from silently reading the Bible to himself while his students read secular books. The Court declined to review a decision of the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Kenneth Roberts, a fifth-grade public school teacher teaching in a suburb of Denver, violated the Constitution by reading the Bible to himself during the classroom's "silent reading period." 

The Tenth Circuit had ruled that even having the Bible on top of the teacher's desk in view of the students violates the First Amendment, and Roberts had been forced to hide the Bible in his desk after he was admonished by the principal, Kathleen Madigan. The Appeals Court also ruled it unconstitutional for Roberts to include two Christian books, The Bible in Pictures and The Story of Jesus, in his 240-volume classroom library among such other books as Tom Sawyer, The Wizard of Oz, and Charlotte's Web. Also in the classroom library were two books that contained discussions of Indian religions and a book on Greek mythology. 

The ADL filed an amicus brief with the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. To quote ADL in the Courts: 

"ADL's brief argued that the district court properly denied the injunctive relief when it determined that Roberts was using his role as a teacher to advance religion in violation of the Lemon establishment clause test. ADL argued that the Supreme Court has recognized repeatedly that to impressionable schoolchildren, religious activities in the public schools convey the message of government sponsorship of religion. This is particularly true when a teacher reads from the Bible in front of students." 

However, as even the ADL had to acknowledge, "One of the three judges in the Court of Appeals panel dissented, charging that the school was converting the establishment clause into governmental disapproval, disparagement, and hostility toward the Christian religion." 

Polymorphous Patrons

 

The ADL's hostility to the basic Judeo-Christian principles upon which the United States was founded is blatant. Its support for overtly satanic or New Age "alternatives" to Judeo-Christian moral values, while less public, is also clear upon closer observation.

The League's post-Matamoros efforts to sandbag Texas legislation against satanic-related crimes is one case in point. Another case in point is the ADL's involvement in one of the most outrageous instances of child sexual abuse in recent memory. 

The scandal began in Omaha, Nebraska but eventually spread to Washington, D.C., implicating officials of the Reagan-Bush White House in after-hours cavorting with male prostitutes. It has been the subject of thousands of pages of news coverage, several criminal trials, and one book, The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism and Murder in Nebraska, by retired Nebraska state senator and decorated Vietnam war hero John DeCamp. 

In Late 1988, federal regulators moved in and shut the doors of the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Omaha. The institution had been looted into bankruptcy by its founder and manager, Larry King. King, a prominent black Republican Party activist, had been sponsored by some of the most powerful people in town, including the publisher of the only statewide daily newspaper in Nebraska, Harold Andersen, and one of the world's wealthiest men, investment broker Warren Buffett.

Following the blowout of Franklin Credit, evidence began to surface that King, along with many of his prestigious local backers, was part of a VIP homosexual cult which regularly tortured and sexually abused area youth in pedophilic orgies. Further investigations linked King to Washington lobbyist and homosexual Craig Spence. When Washington bunco cops busted a male prostitution ring in the summer of 1989, Spence's name showed up all over the company's records as one of its biggest spending clients. Spence had high-level White House and GOP connections, and on several occasions had toured the President's home after dark in the company of corporate clients and homosexual prostitutes. According to several accounts, King and Spence were business partners in several call-boy services. 

Back in Omaha, a mad dash to cover up the pedophile activities was launched by local FBI officials and the Omaha chief of police, Robert Wadman, himself a member of the homosexual cult, according to numerous witness accounts. Ultimately, King was carted off to federal prison on bank fraud charges, and several efforts to get to the bottom of the pedophile ring were shortcircuited. 

More questions remain unanswered, but one thing is certain: Alan Baer, a local Omaha multi-millionaire and financial backer of the ADL, was personally caught redhanded in pedophile activities. In 1990, Baer was charged with pandering by local police. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge rather than face a jury trial with all the attendant media coverage. Baer's name came up repeatedly as a major player in the testimony of victimwitnesses to the child abuse. 

The Alan and Marcia Baer Foundation was also listed as a source of money to several charities, including the Girls Club of Omaha, that were apparently victimized by the child abuse ring. The Foundation also donates to the Gay Men's Health Crisis, Inc. in San Francisco, and the People With AIDS Coalition. 

In December 1991, Alan Baer put up the money for a full-page advertisement placed by the A.D.L in several major newspapers. The ad, headlined "Not All Nazis Are Living in South America," was a fundraising pitch for the A.D.L. 

Bad judgment on the part of the A.D.L? Or merely one more instance of the A.D.L's showing its true colors? You be the judge.
