Dr. Daniel Thursz Executive Vice-President NOTES The .History Sinsheimer Cafe (right), where -Past and Present B'nai B'rith was conceived in 1843. I Looking back, it seems perfectly natural that B'nai B'rith should have been born in New York City. This was the gateway to the New World. The excitement of the teeming metropolis was animated by a sense of a new society under construction, an atmosphere that stimulated social fellowship. In this environment, where unlimited freedom of thought and expression flourished and where there was opportunity for 14j1 intellectual advancement unparalleled elsewhere in America, it was understandable that twelve Jewish idealists should dream of establishing a nationwide organization with the highest altruistic and intellectual objectives. Where but in New York could be found a Sinsheimer Cafe, the glow of its gaslit interior ~-~---~ x welcoming those who liked talk of Jewish affairs accompanied by bountiful Jewish cuisine? Where else could a foreign-born group burst successfully out of the ghetto and, within a relatively short time, be found parading up Fifth Avenue in horse-drawn carriages before the admiring throngs in the bright Sunday afternoon sunshine, en route to a convention which would be conducted before an audience of 10,000 in the Jones Wood Coliseum?

  • Weizmann Institute Dinner, Chicago, Illinois, September 10, 1967
    [-ry~J September 10, 1967 Palmer House, Chicago, Ill. INTRODUCTION BY ADLAI E. STEVENSON III, State Treasurer of Illinois: Philip Klutznick has no cause to be grateful. We are all his debtors, and that includes my father, too. In 1789, when John Adams was the vice president, he wrote once and said, 11 My country has, in its wisdom, contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man has contrived or his imagination conceived. Apparently John Adams was unfamiliar with the office of State Treasurer {laughter) I won't mention the office of Lieutenant Governor,- - but all that, of course, is now changed. The course of events has thrust upon our Vice President responsibility of a magnitude which our founding fathers could never have conceived; and the mark of one man has given that office powers over the affairs of men which range from the control of outer space to the exploration of our oceans' floors. As mayor of Minne- apolis, ... as a United States Senator, ... as Vice President of the United States, and all his countless public endeavors, Hubert Humphrey has brought a touch of warmth, a careful blend of realism and idealism, a relentless devotion to the welfare of all, especially the underdog, and energies which only a pure heart and high purpose could generate. In the midst of appalling pressures, in times of cynicism and indifference, he has always shared with another of his predecessors, Thomas Jefferson, a boundless enthusiasm for the possibilities of - 2- reason and progress. He shares, too, with Thomas Jefferson, a con- viction that excellence is the heart of the Democratic hope, the animating ideal toward which it is forever groping.

  • The Ugly Truth About the "ADL: They Are a Bunch of Racist Thugs Who Push Drugs
    Since the First Printing: ADL in Middle of A Spy Scandal Too Big to Bury On January 15, eight days after the publica- tion of the first edition of this book, The San Francisco Chronicle shocked the public with the revelation that the office of the ADL in San Francisco was at the center of a scandal involving a San Francisco police officer and a Bay Area art dealer/self-described private eye who were suspected of selling illegally obtained information to agents of the South African government. The two men, Sgt. Tom Gerard of the San Francisco Police Department, and Roy Bullock, a longtime paid undercover operative for the local office of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL), had been undo: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) scrutiny since vii viii SINCE THE FIRST PRINTING 1990, when federal agents discovered that secret Bureau records on American black Muslims had been obtained by South African spies. The trail pointed to Bullock, who, in addition to his fulltime paid work for the ADL, had been "moonlighting" as an undercover snitch for the Bureau. On at least one occasion, Bullock received a 1500 cash payment from the FBI for infiltrating meetings of two Bay Area groups. Bullock had access to confidential Bureau files, and became a suspect when FBI files stowed up in the hands of the South African government at the same time he was regularly meeting with two South African spies and passing confidential data to them. Bullock received cash payments that eventually totaled over $16,000.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

  • The Anti-Defamation League
    The Anti-Defamation League Intimidation (including false accusations) by the ADL is their specialty, but through the strength of God, I have no fear of them. There is nothing wrong with exposing real anti-Semitism directed toward Jewish and Arabic people. Sometimes, the ADL do indeed expose real anti-Semites (like the neo-Nazis, 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Freemason Henry Ford, Charles Coughlin, etc.). On the other hand, real researches make manifest of the ADL not only being an arm of the elite (many of these elitists advocate one world government), but some have accused the ADL of once having mafia and pornography ties . The ADL is a network of people that stalks some people under the guise of “anti-Semitism” to elevate their own agenda . Many members of the ADL sincerely fight against bigotry, but their leadership have been corrupted with compromise. Their agenda is extreme political correctness and the promotion of a far left agenda. Out of the many exposes on them, one was created by William Cooper. William Cooper (who died in a murder at October 2001) created his The Hour of the Time tape series on the ADL, which is the most truthful and fairest around to lay the reality on the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL’s roots existed from the Jewish Masonic Lodge of B’nai B’rith, so that will be outlined first. In the words of William Cooper: “I am not talking about Jews. I am talking about a branch of the Illuminati, the control structure that is bringing one world government into fruition, destroying the sovereignty of nations, and many many other things.” According to Edith Starr-Miller’s 1933 Occult Theocracy, German Jews headed by Henry Jones invented the B’nai B’rith in October 13, 1843.
