This is primarily an article about lies, about the people who tell them, and about their methods of telling them. This essay, long as it is, is only a brief introduction to only a minor aspect of this subject. Canada and other Western countries have what we call ‘anti-hate laws’, legislation intended to prevent the dissemination of hateful and racist accusations against another people, especially if they are likely to inspire negative or violent actions. Unfortunately, these laws, regulations, and newspaper editing appear to be applied in a less than equitable fashion, intended only to silence criticism of, and opposition to, Israel and the activities of the Jews, and never meant to apply to any other nation of people. I don’t make that accusation carelessly. As a case in point, at about the time these laws were enacted, there was a book published titled “The Hajj”, which received some popular acclaim. I no longer recall much of the content, but one passage remains in my mind – a description of an Arab woman who, while admittedly attractive, was of such inferior and primitive stock that her infant was happy to lie in its bassinette, eating its own excrement. I recall thinking at the time that if that passage had been written about a Jew, there would have been hell to pay. But in the event, nobody raised a fuss and nothing happened, at least nothing that came to my attention. And from that point onward, I have never seen anything to change my original conviction that these laws were introduced by fierce Jewish lobbying pressure only to ensure that Jews – and only Jews – would not be subject to public criticism. I believe I could stand on the steps of Canada’s Parliament Buildings or the US House of Congress, and yell out that Arabs are all insane terrorists, primitive nomads, sub-human animals who should be exterminated, and nothing much would happen. In fact, the racial biases in much of the West are such that I might receive for a medal. But once again, I doubt very much that any anti-hate laws would come out of the woodwork to defend the Arabs from my hateful tirades. We can conclude only that anti-hate legislation is intended to protect only Jews from criticism, while leaving the Jews free to trash any people with absolute impunity. And they do, relentlessly, every day. The Jews wanted the laws to protect them from criticism, but those laws don’t protect anyone from the Jews. Of all the people in the world who should understand what it is like to be a nation without a home, to be set upon, to be driven from their homes, often with violence, to lose everything including their lives, it should be the Jews. But any suffering the Jews experienced could not be worse than the travesties they inflict every day upon the Palestinian people. The incredible injustices inflicted on the Palestinians are legion, and well-documented – including by the UN, Human Rights Watch and many other organisations. How can any thinking people – how can the Jews – defend such consistent and brutal, even savage, actions, against another people, while proclaiming their holiness and innocence to the world, while at the same time expecting the world to remember Jewish (and only Jewish) suffering? How can a people like the Jews, who want (and are pressing hard for) many countries to build ‘holocaust museums’ to commemorate their suffering, have in turn inflicted much greater injustices and suffering on other innocent peoples, and then disavow all of it and in fact mock it? And now the entire world is repeating precisely the same mistakes it made about the Jews before and during the two World Wars – watching the denigration of entire nations of people, China especially, but others as well – recognising the illegality and dishonesty of it, the savage brutality, the injustice, the degradation, the humiliation, the poverty and hopelessness in some victim countries. And watching, and watching. Silently. Too cowardly to speak out. One of the more unfortunate aspects of this is that the Jews are strongly aided by Gentiles carrying out their agenda, Christian Zionists who foolishly don’t appreciate that they are also disposable, compradors who greatly assist in this enormous tragedy taking place but who will be discarded as Goyim when the job is done. I would have to say that while I am aware of the past tragedies, I was not a part of them. While I can feel much compassion for the suffering and the loss of life, I myself have committed no wrongs – not against the Jews nor anyone else. And I deeply resent attempts to make me feel guilty for things that happened before I was born and over which I had no control. I resent anyone attempting to control my thinking, to make me timid and hesitant in my own opinions, to make me fear reprisal for speaking openly of my honest thoughts and feelings. Those are characteristics of a fascist police state, not of a free world. As I wrote earlier, I have no dislike for Jews. But I don’t expect my government to cower in fear of a powerful ethnic lobby and throw me in prison for my genuine personal thoughts or opinions. And perhaps even more to the point, I don’t expect my government to be cowardly and hypocritical on such an important issue, to the extent of telling me I am free to dislike Native Aboriginals, or Arabs, or the Chinese or Russians, but that the Jews are off limits – not because they’re God’s Chosen People but because they possess financial, media and extortion power. The Basics of Control There are only two nations in the world whose existence seems to be founded primarily on historical myths, and only two peoples where a false historical mythology seems to permeate every nook and cranny of the national psyche. These two are the US and the American people, and Israel and the Jews. For the Jews, this condition pertains not only to all historical events, but somehow to the fabric of daily life itself, where almost all reference to Jews, their activities, their nature, their social position, and even their intentions, comprise something resembling a Disney fairytale. In many instances, the experience is surreal. Jews control, usually by ownership, sometimes by other means, virtually the entire mass and social media of much of the world, certainly in what we define as ‘The West’ but also deeply into the other continents. In many Jewish publications the Jews boast of their ownership and control of the media and Hollywood yet, if a Gentile dares to state the same facts, the invariable response is loud denial and vicious personal attacks that are often socially and financially fatal. Most of Jewish history is buried, and most of that is buried very deeply, this circumstance abetted enormously by the Jews’ virtual control of all means of communication: the mass media, social media, Internet tools like Google and Wikipedia, the book publishers and much more. I have written often that the only value in free speech lies in having control of the microphone, but in our real world only the Jews have this to any appreciable extent and the remaining channels are rapidly being closed. The Jews’ muzzling power is very much in evidence today. In fact, the mere mention, the bringing to public attention, of completely innocent facts relating to the Jews, is sufficient to generate bitter and quite dirty accusations of anti-Semitism, of being a Nazi or a racist. It is very unpleasant. I once observed in an online forum that Jews were over-represented in the professions – medicine, dentistry, law, accounting – far above their percentage of the population at large. This received no comment. But when I added that Jews were also over-represented in media, publishing and entertainment fields, as well as in the US government – as they are – my observations immediately generated multiple personal attacks of anti-Semitism, of being a “Jew-hater” and more. The awkwardness and disadvantage of this is that the Jews have a tightly-organised and well-thought-out agenda determined by their Jewish interests, aims and objectives, an agenda not shared by the other 99% of the world’s people. This might not matter if we were dealing with truth, but it seems that we mostly are faced with – and must deal with – fiction, fallacy, misconception, and outright lies. Nothing is as it seems. On one of my earlier articles on Information Blockades, a reader using the name of Mark Green made the following comments:[2]https://www.unz.com/lromanoff/information-blockades-...d-why/ Information Blockades – How and Why “We must counter their ethnocentric, ubiquitous, and heavily biased propaganda with additional photo-imagery of our own, which details the ongoing and escalating levels of needless brutality being dished out by the Zionist whores in Washington and their zombie-like foot soldiers wherever there is an active TV set. The nauseating and revolting evidence of Zio-American criminality must be presented in blood-drenched, living color. This is war. And it’s coming our way.” He commented again: “Jewish power is absolutely global, brilliantly organized, and unsurpassed.” All through my university and later years I can recall being strongly encouraged (by the media and various portions of ‘the establishment’), to read various books, notably among them William Shirer’s ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich’, and being also powerfully discouraged against reading some others. Being young and naïve, I typically obeyed. It required a long awakening process to realise that most of the ‘recommended’ books, like Shirer’s, were works of Jewish propaganda and not worth the reading. Henry Ford – The International Jew Prominent among the ‘prohibited’ section was Henry Ford’s series on The International Jew, being universally described as intellectual poison and so I avoided Henry Ford like the plague, not wanting to pollute my mind with “wild, anti-Semitic rants”. But later, when my research required the reading, I was surprised to find that Henry Ford’s writing was no such thing. Ford’s articles were rational and dispassionate, with any claims supported by much hard evidence. And, rather than being anti-Semitic, Ford often praised Jews for their talents and even went so far as to say that if Jews are better than us at some things, who are we to demand that they account for themselves. But his essays did also uncover and reveal some failings which affected all of society, tendencies of which we needed to be aware for self-defense. Of these, the Jews naturally preferred ignorance and hence the intense negative campaign against Ford. Ford’s articles were published in the Dearborn Independent, a kind of in-house organ that carried no advertising and was distributed only through Ford’s auto dealerships. “Even in the early exuberant period the bulk of the paper’s content was not devoted to Jews. The majority of articles covered a wide range of human-interest topics unrelated to race, which still make interesting reading today.” The paper was wildly popular, consistently having the second-highest readership of all newspapers in America. The series of articles on the Jews was later published as a book consisting of about 80 brief essays, which sold over a half million copies in the United States alone, and was translated into sixteen languages including German. His series of articles is as useful today, and as pertinent, as when written in the early 1900s and I encourage you to read them.

The story is a bit messy, but even Haaretz agrees the letter was “signed in Ford’s name” while he was in the hospital,[4]https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-1927-henry-f...296102 Henry Ford Says Sorry for anti-Semitic Spew after Ford was run off the road in a clear attempt to kill him. A curious part of the recanting and apology relates to evidence that someone bought Ford’s editor, who was then fired by Ford for ‘treason’. The story being spun by Jews today is that Ford wrote to Louis Marshall, a very prominent American Jew, asking Marshall to write an appropriate letter of apology on Ford’s behalf – and to sign it for him – but no evidence has ever surfaced to document such an unusual claim which is almost certainly false. There is no reason to believe, and it is nonsense to suggest, that Ford would have felt incapable of writing his own apology if he cared to do that. Moreover, the much-publicised defamation lawsuit against Ford was by an individual who felt slighted by references in an article, but which is now presented as a lawsuit launched (and won) by “The Jews” against Ford’s entire series of articles; it was no such thing, and almost unrelated. Also, today’s Jewish propaganda machine spins the tale that, after settling the lawsuit, Ford ceased publication of his work and the Dearborn Independent was forced to close. This, and the supposed apology were in 1927, but Ford’s articles and the book containing them were in constant publication until his death in 1947.[5]https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/henry-f...t-told Henry Ford and the Jews, the story Dearborn didn’t want told The JTA publishes a supposed letter of forgiveness from Marshall, an astonishing example of hypocrisy writ large:[6]https://www.jta.org/archive/louis-marshall-accepts-h...tement Louis Marshall Accepts Henry Ford’s Apology for Anti-jewish Attacks; Replies to Statement “For twenty centuries we Jews have been accustomed to forgive insults and injuries, persecution and intolerance, blah, blah, blah”, but in fact the Jews hounded Ford mercilessly until his death. And one would be hard-pressed today to find even a single example where the Jews displayed forgiveness for even the smallest slight. This essay provides many examples of vengeance and retribution; I know of no forgivenesses. Jewish so-called “scholars” today have published reams of rubbish about this topic, all of it consisting of vicious slander and undocumented claims, and none worth reading. The National Vanguard published a brief reasonable article on this, along with a complete listing of the articles.[7]https://nationalvanguard.org/2… truncated (209,954 more characters in archive)
