THELIFEAND'crimes'of JOHN COLIN CAMPBELL JORDAN Or THELIFEAND'CRIMES'OF JOHN COLIN CAMPBELL JORDAN or WITYAI\HONESTNAZI ISBETTERTHANA LYING, SCHBMINGJEW 3rd Printing THE LIFE AND ''CRIMES"OF JOHN COLIN CAMPBELL JORDAN THE LIFE AI{D''CR[MES''OF JOHN COLIN CAMPBELLJORDAN :rJ To The Reader Due to other commitments,this studynas written over a period of nearly twoyears,so if the reader detectspassing referencesin the text to current eventswhich do not appear to fit the chronology, that is the reason. I am most fortunate in that I live within easy travelling distance of the world's premier research institution the British Library, including the NervspaperLibrary at Colindale where most of my newspaperresearch is conducted.I do though usea variety ofother sources,and someofthe newspap€rsconsulted for this short studywere in the form of press cuttings in the Wiener Library collection to which I had accessfor over a year, and from the Library of the lewislt Cltrorticle, which I visited twice in 1992. Many daily nervspapers have different editions; the Guardian lbr example has tryo London editions and trvo Manchester editions. (1) It may be therefore that some of the nelvspaperarticles cited here do not correspond rvith those kept at Colindale, though ofcourse any errors either of interpretation or of t'actare entirely my o$'n. I would also like to thank NIr Jordan in person lbr taking the trouble to reply with courtesy to all of my letters, eventhough we have substantial ideological difl'erences,especially rvith regard to the Jewish Question. A l'ewminor alterationshave been rnade to this 3rd Printing. AlexanderBaron, Sydenham, London. August 29,7995 THE LIFE AND ''CRIMES''OF JOHN COLIN CAMPBELLJORDAN The FallacyOf SweepingGeneralisations If there's one thing the media likes it's sensationalism.Nothing sells like a good story, and for the tabloid press at any rate, the more lurid the better. This may have something to do with the fascination Nazism still holds for so many people a half century after its defeat. The image of the jackbooted, blond-haired beast stamping on the 'Ve innocent Jewish face, the Gestapo ollicer hissing haff vays of making you talk!", and all the other imagety associated with Hitler's allegedly discredited Master Race theories, all these make good copy even today. I say that Hitler's Master Race theories are allegedly discredited, becausethe fact that the Nazis lost World War Tlvo doesn't discredit Hitler's race theories any more than Saddam Hussein's losing the Gulf War discredits Islam. But just for the record. [Iitler's Master Race theories are largely a creation of his enemies. There is no evidence that Hitler hated any man or woman on account of his or her race. (2) Except for the Jews, of course. Hitler regarded the Jews as a corrupting influence on Western society: on music, on medicine, on the media. Although eventhe allegedJewish control of the media didn't stop the Fiihrer himself having a favourite Jewish actress. (3) There are many fallacies associatedwith anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic ideologr. The most obvious is the extrapolation from the specific to the general. An African may look at the iclt West with envious eyes, but of course,although the West fs rich in comparison with Black Africa, there are many poor people in the West, while not a fewAfricans are wealthy.Similarly, becausemanypersons ofJewish ancestrywereinvolved in the communist movement, and becausethe Rothschilds and other Jewish families played a major role in the development of international banking (and usury), doesn't mean either that communism is Jewish or that banking is a Jewish "conspiracy". Butjust as it is invalid to extrapolate from selectedindividuals to the group, so too it is invalid to extrapolate from the group to the individual. The fact that most Jewsare innocuous and for the most part industrious citizens doesn't mean that all of them ale. The reality is that some Jervs,like somegoyirtt, are worthless parasites. And just becausesome Nazis committed atrocities against the Jews,doesn't mean that all Nazis (and more generically fascists), are worthless individuals who deserveonly to be spat on, ostracised from society,and even attacked physically. Fascists,like many anti-Semites,and indeed like many, many socialists, are often as not among the most idealistic of people; usually it's only their critical faculties that are at fault. (4) By way of example,let us take the explicitly non-fascist Duke of Edinburgh. The good Duke is an ardent conservationist and environmen- talist. No doubt he also cares passionatelyabout the welfare of his subjects and of the human race generally. What then are we to make of his statement - widely quoted - that when he dies, if he were reincarnated, he would wish to return as a killer virus to lower human population levels? (5) Doubtless, the thought of even one dead human being would horrify the good Duke in practice. He simply didn't stop to think. Ditto most fascists and their fellow travellers. Fascism:The Unmentionable- And Its UnspeakableEnemies Whether or not most fascists are thoroughly evil men and women, or simply misguided idealists like the Duke of Edinburgh, there is a school of thought - one which, sadly, has beenthe prevailing ethos since at least the 1930s - that fascism is such a terrible ideologr that fascists must not be given any platform to spread it in case they contaminate the rest of the population. Apparently, John Tlndall, he of BNP fame, and his fellow travellers, are such powerful orators and such Machiavellian schemers,that if we only listen to what they have to say,we, or a sizable percentageof us, will rush out and burn down the nearest synagogue,drag Mr Patel out of his corner shop, or string up the nearest limbo dancer. Surely a philosophy that is so powerful should be studied rather than spurned? We might learn a lot about human nature from it, if nothing else. Leaving aside such arguments, the organisedhue and cry against fascism becomesfar lessimpressive when one studies the ideology of its most vocil'erousopponents. The most violent anti-fascist group in the United Kingdom is the quasi-terrorist far left outfit Red Action. Thesefanatics were expelledfrom the Socialist Workers Party in 1982. (6) They were, apparently, too extreme for even thern. On page 8 we reproduce a Red Action sticker.

  • The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: a Hoax to Hate Introduction
    THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE PRESENTS A SPECIAL EXHIBIT OF A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION WILL EISNER, the celebrated “father of the graphic novel,” was deeply concerned about the resilience of anti-Semitism and the persistence of the conspiracy theory that Jews have a plan to control the world, as set down in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Applying his talent and creativity to further expose the notorious anti-Semitic treatise as a forgery, Mr. Eisner produced The Plot in 2003, with a goal toward educating all, but especially younger generations. A SPECIAL EXHIBIT PRESENTED BY THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE ADL is proud to present a special traveling exhibit telling the story of the infamous forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, that has been used to justify anti-Semitism up to and including today. In 2005, Will Eisner’s graphic novel, The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was published, exposing the history of The Protocols and raising public awareness of anti-Semitism. Mr. Eisner, who died in 2005, did not live to see this highly effective exhibit, but his commitment and spirit shine through every panel of his work on display. This project made possible through the support of the Will Eisner Estate and W.W. Norton & Company Inc. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: A Hoax to Hate Introduction It is a classic in the literature of hate. Believed by many to be the secret minutes of a Jewish council called together in the last years of the 19th century, it has been used by anti-Semites as proof that Jews are plotting to take over the world.

  • Blair and Israel
    This is a chapter in my 2002 The Rise of New Labour, which is still available for virtually nothing on-line from Amazon and Abebooks. It originally appeared in Lobster 43 and seems worth reposting in the context of the Al Jazeera revelations about Israeli operations in British politics.1 Blair and Israel Robin Ramsay In January 1994, three months before John Smith’s death, the then shadow Home Secretary Tony Blair, with wife Cherie Booth, went on a trip to Israel at the Israeli government’s expense - a trip, incidentally, neither the Sopel nor Rentoul biographies of Blair mentioned.2 Blair had always been sympathetic to Israel, had shared chambers with Board of Deputies of British Jews President Eldred Tabachnik,3 and had joined the Labour Friends of Israel on becoming an MP. Two months after returning from Israel, Tony Blair was introduced to Michael Levy at a dinner party by Gideon Meir, the number two in the Israeli embassy in London.4Levy was a retired businessman who had made his money creating and then selling a successful record company and had become a major fund-raiser for Jewish charities. Levy was ‘dazzled by Blair’s drive and religious commitment’ and the two men became friends.5 A month later the leader of the Labour Party, John Smith, died, and Blair won the leadership election contest with Gordon Brown – in some accounts with financial 1 See for example <http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/israels- parliamentary-plot-uk-politicians-170107220710691.html>. 2 See the profile of Michael Levy in the Daily Express 26 June 2000.

It seeks to explain the reasons for the sudden, rapid expansion of Black Hundred organizations in 1905, as well as the causes of their decline, which began just two years after their appearance. It further attempts to elucidate the complex relationship between the Black Hundred and Russian authorities, including the central government and local officials. The problem is approached by offering two distinct perspectives on the Black Hundred. First, a broad overview of the movement is presented. The focus here is on the headquarter branches of Black Hundred organizations in St. Petersburg, but these chapters also look at the activities of many different provincial branches, relating trends in the provinces to events in the center in order to draw conclusions about the nature of the overall movement.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs HE YEAR BEGAN BADLY FOR THE Labor government when Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal poll rating briefly fell from 62 to 49 percent, largely due to popular dissatisfaction with problems in the National Health Service, in- tensified by a flu epidemic. Labor's image deteriorated further when the party was unable to prevent the election of Ken Livingstone, a maverick independent left- wing MP, as the first directly elected mayor of London. Blair's warning that Liv- ingstone's election would be "ruinous" for London did not prevent the decisive defeat of Labor's official candidate for the mayoralty. This was followed by Labor defeats in the local council elections, and in June a keynote speech by Premier Blair at a conference of the Women's Institute movement was met by a "slow handclapping." The government recovered some of its poise in July when it an- nounced a program of public investment in transport, education, and the health service. This expenditure, it was proclaimed, was made possible by the govern- ment's prudent handling of the economy. In this way the government sought to make good what many critics considered to be its initial mistake in retaining the spending targets of the last Conservative government. In the meantime, the Conservative opposition, led by William Hague, turned to the right, campaigning against "bogus asylum seekers," taking a hardline pol- icy in Europe, and opposing the single EU currency. The Tories received a real boost in September when farmers and haulers blockaded a number of oil re- fineries in a peaceful protest of the high price of gasoline.

  • Anti-Semitism: Myth and Hate from Antiquity to the Present by Marvin Perry and Frederick Schweitzer Tells a Story That Must Be Confronted and Overcome
    PRAISE FOR ANTISEMITISM: “This book is timely, useful, and admirably readable. Its voice needs to be heard.” —Michael R. Marrus, Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor of Holocaust Studies and Dean of the Graduate School, University of Toronto “A lucidly written work that reminds us that Man’s myth-making propensity lives side by side with his rationality.” —Henry L. Feingold, Board of Directors of the Center for Jewish History “[A] tour de force [that] follows upon the late Edward H. Flannery’s ground- breaking classic, The Anguish of the Jews.” —John Pawlikowski, O. S. M., President, International Council of Christians and Jews, Journal of Ecumenical Studies “[W]ell-written and insightful... well researched and quite worthwhile.” —Leonard Dinnerstein, Church History “A substantial, comprehensive, and updated historical survey of the main anti- semitic myths.” —Leon Volovici, Antisemitism International “Anti-Semitism: Myth and Hate from Antiquity to the Present by Marvin Perry and Frederick Schweitzer tells a story that must be confronted and overcome. Times such as these put the Perry-Schweitzer book on the required reading list.” —Editorial, Richmond Times-Dispatch “Perry and Schweitzer navigate the history of anti-Semitism with a firm hand, utilizing the latest scholarship and confronting controversial issues without fear.” —Library Journal “An extensive and informative survey and analysis of anti-Semitic myths... Antisemitism should be found upon the Judaic Studies shelves of every college and community library in the country.” —Midwest Book Review “[The authors] have rendered an invaluable service... explor[ing] and expos[ing]... anti-Semitism, a perennial plague of Western civilization.” —Rabbi Israel Zoberman, The Virginian Pilot “A wonderful read on a poignant topic.

May 2021 Leicester Mercury: Race on the front page, 1967-1979. This working paper is based on research into the change in front page coverage of the Leicester Mercury on immigration, race and ethnic minority subjects between 1967 and 1979. This period was key in the history of race relations in the Leicester highlighted by increasing immigration to Leicester from Kenya in the late 1960s, Uganda in the 1970s and the rise and fall of the anti-immigration National Front as a sustainable electoral force in the city by 1980. The coverage of these issues by the Leicester Mercury during this period has been described in the existing literature on immigration to Leicester as racist.1 This working paper challenges this view and asks to what extent was the Leicester Mercury leading the debate around immigration or following events as any responsible local newspaper should do? The answer lies somewhere in between but a change in the coverage of the issues in the Leicester Mercury is discernible from the mid 1970s.
