The Anti-Defamation League and Elon Musk have been sparring over the fate of hate speech on Musk’s “Digital Commons”, so I call it–#DigitalCommons–on X. The ADL appears to believe Musk is a publisher who should be responsible for the content of his web site while Musk appears devoted to the broadest legal freedom of speech concept and feel the obligation to sustain X uncensored. In the way of X, I’ve weighed in. Clearly, Musk neither authors nor edits the platform he administers in his role as a technologist. Forthwith, my opinion at X address https://x.com/JS_Oppenheim/status/1703418994139566319 –>


#IntegrityMatters #ResponsiveAndResponsibleGovernanceMatters

Single platform publishing has eliminated the boundaries that once sustained mainstream, fringe, and marginal communities in each their own domains. Today, the #DigitalCommons offers all everything at once in one place. That would not be a problem but for #AgitProp #Conspiracy #Disinformation #Incitement and #Recruitment into organizations or movements criminal or once marginalized by paper-based distribution.

Rx. Defenders of laws and within bounds civil behavior may have to go direct to their antagonists. Conspiracy, defamation, incitement (to crime) needs must be fielded, and the #DigitalCommons may not be itself the policing element.


Note: in the United States, not all speech has been protected under the First Amendment. Defamation, libel, and slander may be brought to court by suit or tort; conspiracy to commit crime or incitement to violence may be detected and met by the power of the State through its law enforcement agencies.

FTAC – Ferguson – Post-Soviet Communist Manipulation

26 Wednesday Nov 2014

Fergusen, hate speech, political agitation, politics

The looters are criminals operating under the cover of a political cause, which is not unlike what kleptocrats are doing when they promote anti-Semitism throughout their states. There’s plunder in sight, dead ahead!

The facts of the matter:

“For more than three months, the grand jury — made up of seven men and five women, nine white and three black — heard evidence into the shooting. They met 25 times and heard from 60 witnesses, McCulloch said. They considered charges ranging from first-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. In a criminal trial, jurors must decide a crime has been committed beyond a reasonable doubt. But here, those jurors needed only to feel there was probable cause that Wilson had committed a crime.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-case-of-ferguson-officer/2014/11/24/de48e7e4-71d7-11e4-893f-86bd390a3340_story.html – 11/25/2014.


At a 1930 Comintern conference in Moscow, a resolution was passed calling for the creation of a Soviet-controlled “Soviet Negro Republic” among America’s Southern states. That’s correct — the Soviet Comintern, working through American communists, crafted plans to create a segregated “separate Negro state” in the South. The Soviet goal was to foment an African-American uprising within the South, which, in turn, would join with a workers’ uprising in the North. When the revolution was deemed ripe, the two forces would seize and reconstitute America as a Soviet sister state.

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/08/communists_descend_on_ferguson.html – 8/22/2014.


As I write, the lead piece at People’s World, the flagship publication of CPUSA and the successor to the Soviet-funded and directed Daily Worker, is a promotion to rile up the American left for a Ferguson rally this weekend.

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/10/communists_continue_to_agitate_on_ferguson.html – 10/9/2014: “What’s wrong is to see communists once again cynically exploiting prayer. These folks have always despised religion. And yet, they’ve also always exploited the religious.”


Hate is an American industry.

One hopes that it is a fringe industry and, in fact, driven by foreign agitation and domestic useful idiots.  That makes it easier to more confidently (and rightly) wag the moralizing finger at a revanchist lawless Russian feudal estate pumping millions of dollars today into World Wide Web disinformation and local old line communist and poor-exploiting American agitprop.

However, a look up of the reflection that is The Occidental Observer may tell that the same appears to flourish as homegrown.  Plainly, there is an extensive body of vicious xenophobic political thought left loose in America to promote ill will toward others on the basis of creed, race, or religion.  Perhaps to the extent that either far left or right camps becomes active or growing, their reflections meet them in amplitude.


And yet, the Rev. Sharptons of the world flooded in, insisting, in effect, that Wilson was indeed guilty, and never mind the facts. (Even President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder encouraged resentment of the “injustice” perpetrated by a white police officer.)

These flame-throwers told folks to take the accusations against Wilson as fact and to protest until the day he was thrown in jail. Protest, you see, was essential — merely because a white cop had shot and killed a black teen. No other facts were needed.

http://nypost.com/2014/11/25/there-was-an-indictment-in-ferguson/ – 11/25/2014.


But, because I have lately lapsed into a clinically confirmed paranoia, instantly I wanted to know if the parading demonstrators wanted to attack Jews.

So, I watched. Sure enough, along came a chubby and disagreeable-looking young man holding a hand-made placard that said, “Ferguson = Gaza = Wounded Knee,” which I took to be an endorsement of the goals proclaimed by Hamas, the renowned anti-civil rights organization. And I continued to watch. But the young man appeared to be alone.

http://tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/187271/ferguson-on-the-hudson – 11/26/2014.


How then can we strike a balance between on the one hand reacting viscerally to the images from Ferguson, which point to the long and constantly replenished history of police assaults on black bodies, and the images of Israel’s murderous rampage in Gaza, an assault continuous with Israel’s history of oppression and persecution of an entire people, while on the other hand resisting drawing too quickly an immediate, provocative, but inexact parallel?

http://www.salon.com/2014/08/22/ferguson_and_gaza_the_definitive_study_of_how_they_are_and_are_not_similar/ – 8/22/2014.

The author delivers envenomed language in passing (” . . . Israel’s murderous rampage in Gaza . . . .”) with the confidence of a show trial’s jailer, judge, jury, and executioner.


We have so many dead black bodies in this country, Megyn, not because cops are shooting them, but because other black people are shooting them. And the left is selling a false narrative pretending that the opposite is true.

http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/25/jason-riley-on-ferguson-black-on-black-crime-issue-at-hand-its-not-about-the-cops-video/ – 11/25/2014.

Update December 15, 2014

Another reprehensible outcome, which shocked even those of us accustomed to battling anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Semitism, was that many anti-Israel activists drew parallels between the situation in Ferguson and that in Gaza, and co-opted the tragedy, joining demonstrations to push their own agenda. Sadly, the opinion that it was all part of a shared struggle gained some traction and was also shared by an NFL player recently on social media. I don’t expect that I must explain that there are absolutely no parallels between the two scenarios: Israel is not on trial, and it is especially not being put in the dock by people who seek its very destruction. These events, which have now been reinforced with a second lack of indictment in the death of Eric Garner in New York, do expose the shameless hijacking of the tragedies and struggles of other people to demonize Israel by so-called pro-Palestinian groups.

FNS – Muslims and Nazis – Giulio Meotti Reports on Middle East’s Contemporary Cultural Legacy

One of the leaders of the “Jewish Affairs” in Galicia, Altern Erich, converted to Islam and took the name of “Ali Bella” in Egypt, where he trained Palestinian terrorists.

Leopold Gleim was known through his original name as a head of the Gestapo in Poland, but became “Ali al- Nahar” at the service of the Egyptian dictator Nasser.

Oskar Dirlewanger, after killing tens of thousands of Jews in the Ukraine, became the bodyguard of the Egyptian dictator. Dr. Heinrich Willerman, famous for some of the most atrocious experiments at Dachau, and directed the terrorist “Camp Samarra” in Egypt.

After having “liquidated” the Warsaw ghetto, Kurt Baurnann joined the Ministry of War in Cairo and trained the Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Why Did so Many Wanted Nazis Convert to Islam? – Op-Eds – Israel National News – 11/6/2013.

I may slow down here for not wanting to interminably quote from the English language newspapers of foreign states.

In 2006, it was all new.

Here toward the end of 2013, I may be done for a little bit.

Giulio Meotti possesses integrity.  With his work, one need not worry about the “bending and twisting it some” nor with “history upside-down”: he talks straight and the progressive among Islamic Humanists would do well to take in his observations as regards how they might wish to be regarded by history.

This day started with an encounter on Facebook with eloquently vile anti-Semitic rant.

I didn’t take the bait in situ, but it’s been that kind of day: cloudy sunny, sunny cloudy, full of hate, full of hope — and those who hate Jews hate mankind and themselves most of all.

In the language code of sadistic torture, refusing the feedback of eyes, ears, mouths, and writing hands signals how deep and how relentless such hate has been for its bearers.

FTAC – CAIR Chills Free Speech in Germany – KKK Holds Rally on U.S. National Battlefield

A despicable assault on free speech in Germany; a fair example of how creeps — just the right word on this story — initiate a program of social intimidation.

Disgusting: CAIR Forces WalMart To Fire Employee For Joking About Muslims On Facebook | Independent Journal Review

If this happened in the U.S., in addition to challenging First Amendment prerogatives, it would have the effect also of transforming floor or line-level workers into voiceless slaves, and it would then chill labor and management all the way up the ladder.

For international readers, the American social process may be summed as “be free to speak, but don’t expect to be loved for everything you have to say.”

Small KKK group holds rally at Civil War battlefield – Baltimore Sun

Reader Comment: “What if the comments had been anti-Semitic?”

In Germany, not good, but is there a Jewish organization in Germany combing Facebook, as part of its operations, to locate anti-Semites and tell their employers that so-and-so has been a bad boy or girl?

In the U.S., Americans live with a host of bigots, tolerate their rants, and casually, as opposed to by law, marginalize them or argue with them or stay away from them, but we generally don’t seek to have the same fired from their jobs.

For readers elsewhere and wrestling with America’s free speech concept and the character of the First Amendment: the purpose was not to protect pleasant or popular expression but opposite: to defend unpleasant and unpopular expression on the basis that what was said might be true and in need of hearing.

On the other hand, free speech does not protect libel and slander, incitement, criminal conspiracy, and sedition, although the latter has been so toothless as to allow the broadest sweeps of anti-American claims and rants in the open press.

From the originating report published in The Buffalo News, September 4, 2013:

A Facebook rant about Muslims by an employee of a Walmart store in Hamburg has prompted the retail giant to fire the man.

The derogatory posting on Friday morning was brought to the attention of Wal-Mart Stores executives by a member of the local Muslim community and by a national Muslim advocacy organization.

FTAC – Having to Do with Responding to Disingenuous Recycled “Argument” – Combating Sophistry

Regarding responses to familiar anti-Semitic rants, I wouldn’t mind seeing a WordPress or other blog architected specifically to rebuff the favored mud of the day.

For those specifically interested in language behavior and attitudes, I’ve a blog I’d like to boost in that area — http://conflict-backchannels.com. In relation to that, I’ve been more active in the Pakistani community than Israel’s, but the work is the same: there are those who reason with integrity (and we find one another in this affinity-encouraging environment) and those who reason their wills or willpower and do so disingenuously.

I’m a strong free speech advocate and really don’t want to shut anyone up (or have anyone banned from the commons, online or in real space) but rather help produce the community, worldwide, in which bigoted and intemperate loons find themselves making themselves smaller and in their “actions” (as old communist’s might say) transforming themselves into common criminals.

I started out a romantic in many ways, but age plus a little education has taught me to look at the numbers when looking at the many characteristics — amplitude, frequency, distribution, intensity — of an adverse signal.

Also the Hebe’s GB’s (of the boat show persuasion  should any need the hint) provide for armoring and training. I got into this area with an Ozraeli just a few years ago and had never encountered The Bigot (or the bigots) so closely, if ever.

I’d no idea there were so many dozens influencing thousands to millions unable to contain or restrain either themselves or their hate.

Epigram

Hillel the Elder

"That which is distasteful to thee do not do to another. That is the whole of Torah. The rest is commentary. Now go and study."

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? If not now, when?"

"Whosoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whosoever that saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world."

Oriana Fallaci
"Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomenon...I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born."

Talmud 7:16 as Quoted by Rishon Rishon in 2004
Qohelet Raba, 7:16

אכזרי סוף שנעשה אכזרי במקום רחמן

Kol mi shena`asa rahaman bimqom akhzari Sof shena`asa akhzari bimqom rahaman

All who are made to be compassionate in the place of the cruel In the end are made to be cruel in the place of the compassionate.

More colloquially translated: "Those who are kind to the cruel, in the end will be cruel to the kind."

Abraham Isaac Kook

"The purely righteous do not complain about evil, rather they add justice.They do not complain about heresy, rather they add faith.They do not complain about ignorance, rather they add wisdom." From the pages of Arpilei Tohar.

Heinrich Heine
"Where books are burned, in the end people will be burned." -- From Almansor: A Tragedy (1823).

Simon Wiesenthal
Remark Made in the Ballroom of the Imperial Hotel, Vienna, Austria on the occasion of His 90th Birthday: "The Nazis are no more, but we are still here, singing and dancing."

Maimonides
"Truth does not become more true if the whole world were to accept it; nor does it become less true if the whole world were to reject it."

"The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision."

Douglas Adams
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" Epigram appearing in the dedication of Richard Dawkins' The GOD Delusion.

Thucydides
"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."

Milan Kundera
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."

Malala Yousafzai
“The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.”

Tanit Nima Tinat
"Who could die of love?"

What I Have Said About the Jews

My people, not that I speak for them, I nonetheless describe as a "global ethnic commune with its heart in Jerusalem and soul in the Land of Israel."

We have never given up on God, nor have we ever given up on one another.

Many things we have given up, but no one misses, say, animal sacrifice, and as many things we have kept, so we have still to welcome our Sabbath on Friday at sunset and to rest all of Saturday until three stars appear in the sky.

Most of all, through 5,773 years, wherever life has taken us, through the greatest triumphs and the most awful tragedies, we have preserved our tribal identity and soul, and so shall we continue eternally.

Anti-Semitism / Anti-Zionism = Signal of Fascism

I may suggest that anti-Zionism / anti-Semitism are signal (a little bit) of fascist urges, and the Left -- I'm an old liberal: I know my heart -- has been vulnerable to manipulation by what appears to me as a "Red Brown Green Alliance" driven by a handful of powerful autocrats intent on sustaining a medieval worldview in service to their own glorification. (And there I will stop).
One hopes for knowledge to allay fear; one hopes for love to overmatch hate.

Too often, the security found in the parroting of a loyal lie outweighs the integrity to be earned in confronting and voicing an uncomfortable truth.

Those who make their followers believe absurdities may also make them commit atrocities.

Positively Orwellian: Comment Responding to Claim that the Arab Assault on Israel in 1948 Had Not Intended Annihilation

“Revisionism” is the most contemptible path that power takes to abet theft and hide shame by attempting to alter public perception of past events.

On Press Freedom, Commentary, and Journalism

In the free world, talent -- editors, graphic artists, researchers, writers -- gravitate toward the organizations that suit their interests and values. The result: high integrity and highly reliable reportage and both responsible and thoughtful reasoning.

This is not to suggest that partisan presses don't exist or that propaganda doesn't exist in the west, but any reader possessed of critical thinking ability and genuine independence -- not bought, not programmed -- is certainly free to evaluate the works of earnest reporters and scholars.
