Oooooof.
Single-handedly some of the biggest policies that have led to the destruction we see today. Funny how that works huh?
Bugging out on this thread for tonight but I'm appending one last comment to the top thread. Thanks Pickle.
I totally missed the following in the Times of Israel article:
Dallek: "But the ADL also had undercover agents with code names, who were able to infiltrate the society’s headquarters in Belmont, Massachusetts, and various chapter officers. They dug up financial and employment information about individual Birchers."
[...]
Elia-Shalvev: "That last thought brings to mind another, right-wing Jewish group that existed in this era of taking things into our own hands, that did use violence, explosives even."
Dallek: "You mean the Jewish Defense League, led by Meir Kahane."
Elia-Shalvev: "Yes, exactly."
Dallek: "He was a Bircher. Toward the end of my book, I mention that he was a member for a while, under his alias Michael King."
WHAT THE FUCK? So an ADL agent went on to form an internationally recognized terrorist group and he got his start by spying on American grassroots politics?
typical jew MO
shapeshift, subvert, and destroy
This stood out to me too. It's such a brief write-off, it seems like he's trying to disown the guy. 'Oh that violent Jew? #NotAllJews bro, that one's a Bircher.'
...Except he just spent an entire interview going on at length about how good they were at infiltrating the Birch Society.
So I guess jewish infiltration = noble and good, but when you want to disown a certain jew who got found out, then membership = simply membership, and we're supposed to forget that infiltration was ever a thing, even as recently as a few sentences ago.
