The Judeonazi ADL is a right-wing hate group: 15 case examples
A *brief* look at the Antisemitic Derangement League.
Overview
This is going to be a slightly long one. For sheer clarification sake—as a result of the waters muddied for decades as of writing—this is not a promotion of any stale “antisemitic conspiracy theory,” and this has absolutely nothing to do with Leo Frank, whose long-debated innocence or guilt is almost entirely irrelevant to the at-large issue here. Nor is this analysis in any shape or form affiliated with extremists who co-opt ADL critiques to justify their own pool of murderous agendas as “antithesis.” This is an assessment of the factual reality pertaining to the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith’s well-documented history of not only sabotaging civil/human rights movements, but their connection to far-right, racist, reactionary entities.
It would be a naïveté’s mistake to assume the “Anti-Defamation League” as a sincere liberal champion of democratic values. Its American reputation as “leftist” on a range of issues underscores its longstanding, nearly unconditional defense of the State of Israel—an ever-increasing sewer of right-wing extremism—as everyone from Dan to Beersheba understands. The ADL’s strange dichotomy of advocating left-wing/“progressive” policies in the U.S. while simultaneously defending right-wing stooges abroad is not actually too bizarre if understood properly that “left” and “right” constitute the modern Hegelian “thesis” and “antithesis” to achieve a singular agenda. (more on examining Hegelian dialectic in completely separate future posts) With that said, it’s time to let the ADL record begin showcasing itself.
Exhibit I: Ukronazi apologetics (2022–present)
The ADL’s contemporary defense1 of Ukrainian “far-right,”2 neo-Nazi Azov Battalion is a key modern case example of their reactionary sympathies.
The mainstream establishment of Western modern liberalism, operating as the “left wing” of a global reactionist agenda, was never a sincere citadel of democracy and civic compassion. When the Orange-Bolshevist administration of Donald Trump in 2018-19 armed Ukrainian neo-Nazis,3 the at-large left wing of American politics derided the move for obvious reasons. 40 House Democrats (and 0 Republicans) signed a letter demanding the official U.S. designation of the Ukronazi Azov Battalion as a terrorist organization.4 The Anti-Defamation League in 2019, joining other liberals at the time, released a report exposing the Azov Regiment and its connections to American neofascists.5 Yet, as exposed by The Grayzone, the ADL explicitly softened its tone on the Ukronazi menace following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War.6
This is hardly the first time the Anti-Defamation League lent support to neo-Nazis. For starters, its creator and controlling master B’nai B’rith7—as described by the brilliant Jewish apologist, researcher, and historian Anton Chaitkin—“did not participate in the movement against Hitler” in the 1930s.8 The “sons of the covenant,”9 after all, joined the American Jewish Committee in refusing to endorse the 1933 anti-Nazi boycott.
Exhibit II: sabotaging the anti-Nazi boycott (1933–38)
Per Jewish historian Chaitkin:10
The AJC and B'nai B'rith/ADL worked to block the boycott against Nazi Germany led by the non-British-controlled American Jewish Congress. … Only when Britain did an about-face in 1937-39 and began to officially oppose Hitler, did Britain's American Jewish faction "support the boycott."
All through the Hitler period and into the 1960s—while Britain's Sir William Wiseman was at Kuhn Loeb—the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith were run as joint organizations for purposes of fundraising, management, and intelligence.
This assertion is highly substantiated. It is a well-known fact that B’nai B’rith and the American “Jewish” Committee were outspoken opponents of the boycott against Nazi Germany organized by the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League and the American Jewish Congress for years.11 The ADL is nothing more than a subsidiary of B’nai B’rith, so it’s not hard to see which side of the Nazi vs. anti-Nazi movement they were on.
Exhibit III: Japanese internment (cir. 1942–46)
One source carefully records:12
No notable left-wing organization or individual (excepting Lou Goldblatt of the CIO and A. L. Wirin of the ACLU) sprang up to protest this incarceration [of Japanese Americans], whose ‘legality’ was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
ADL stances in the early 1940s were not—in practice—very “liberal” on civil rights when it came to the reactionary treatment of Japanese Americans, held under en masse suspicion for the actions of a nation they didn’t reside in. The ADL chapter in Los Angeles “‘apparently supported internment (but not publicly),’”13 as did the League of B’nai B’rith as a whole (subsequently) endorse “relocation.”14
Neither was the American Jewish Committee very helpful:15
In Congress, only Senator Robert Taft spoke out against the greatest violation of civil liberties since the end of slavery. Groups publicly committed to fighting discrimination, from the Communist Party to the NAACP and the American Jewish Committee, either defended the internment or remained silent.
Then, decades later, the ADL endorsed financial reparations for the very Japanese Americans they had advocated the en masse roundup of.16 Duplicitous, disingenuous political football at its finest.
Exhibit IV: the Rosenbergs (cir. 1950–53)
The fanatical cauldron of McCarthyite17 houndings in the early Cold War spawned a revival of the reactionist-antisemitic “Judeo-Bolshevism” tropes, and the assumption of the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg particularly incited spurious fantasies of a “Jewish Communist” conspiracy.18 Among loudmouthed right-wing extremists, Mississippi Dixiecrat19 congressman John E. Rankin, for instance, egregiously denigrated the couple as “a pair of Communist k***s.”20
(Zionist criminal shill21) Alan Dershowitz admitted in the mid-90s:22
Just because Julius Rosenberg was guilty of spying for the Soviet Union does not mean that he was not also framed. …
[Roy Cohn] told me that the FBI knew for certain that Julius Rosenberg was guilty because they had access to secret intercepts of Soviet intelligence messages, but that the prosecutors could not use this evidence because the FBI didn’t want the Soviets to know that their code had been broken. Without this evidence, the prosecution had a weak case, because the various witnesses had given conflicting and changing accounts, especially as to whether Ethel had typed up notes given to Julius by Ethel’s brother David Greenglass, who worked at Los Alamos.
Despite the illegal circumstances surrounding the prosecution and execution of the Rosenbergs,23 the reactionary ADL and American Jewish Committee aligned themselves with the right-wing anti-Rosenberg mob in a supposed effort to disassociate Jewry from the appearance of Communism, undermining any prominent left-wing Jewish sympathizers; the AJC24 openly endorsed the execution.25 Yet in doing so, the B’nai B’rith/ADL and AJC forces not only facilitated the very right-wing hysteria out of which “Judeo-Bolshevism” stemmed, but endorsed a reactionary miscarriage of justice meticulously designed to scapegoat left-wing dissidents.26
Exhibit V: branding black civil rights activists ‘antisemitic’ (1950s–90s)
Mondoweiss’s expose of the ADL notes:27
In 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) published an article in its newsletter that accurately described zionism as a colonial movement premised on white supremacy. The article explained that the zionist [sic] project ‘received maximum help, support and encouragement from Great Britain, the United States, and other white western colonial governments,’ noting that this support made it possible for colonizers to take over lands and homes of non-Jewish Palestinians through ‘terror, force, and massacres,’ wiping out Palestinian villages in order to create ‘Israel.’ The article gave statistics that showed that native Palestinian Jews were a small minority in Palestine at the time of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. The subsequent influx of Jews into Palestine, as the article argues, was part of a colonization effort that aimed to get rid of non-Jewish Palestinians and take their land (thus turning many Palestinians into refugees).
…
The SNCC article, in short, was too truthful about zionism [sic] – so the ADL had to step in.
In an August 1967 Jewish Telegraphic Agency bulletin, the ADL called SNCC a ‘Negro extremist’ organization, accusing it of ‘Anti-Semitism’ and comparing it to the KKK.
And this is, of course, ironic when one considers the ADL’s role in the organization Klan terrorism, but more on this soon. As researcher Jeffrey Steinberg of the LaRouche movement put it, “the ADL is a right-wing, racist hate-group.”28 B’nai B’rith propaganda machinations (probably in tandem with J. Edgar Hoover’s COINTELPRO) deceptively vilified the Nation of Islam and broadly worked to fracture the black-Jewish alliance, whose leader Wilbert Tatum denounced ADL chief Abraham “Abe” Foxman for working to “pit the Jewish community… against the black community” and “destabilize the black community.”29 Into the 1990s, the ADL persistently scapegoated black Americans for antisemitism.30
Exhibit VI: Ku-Kluxism (1913–???)
Thank the great Almighty God for the EIR archives, lest the ADL rap sheet become buried under a mountain of Zionist propaganda filler:31
…it is important to note that the ADL, despite its liberal veneer, has multiple ties with the Ku Klux Klan. Police records from Meridian, Mississippi show, for example, that the notorious Roberts brothers—the killers of civil rights workers Cheney [sic], Goodman, and Schwerner in Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1964, had received at least $69,000 from ADL regional director Adolph Botnick. This triple assassination, as it was known, was an attempt to break the back of the civil rights movement, which the ADL had also infiltrated. There are also indications that the Roberts brothers may been have tied to the assassination of Martin Luther King.
In summary:32
The ADL has hired, funded, handled, and deployed Ku Klux Klan operatives, including convicted KKK assassins. The ADL has been a leading Ku Klux Klan controller since the ADL's creation in 1913.
The tip of the Zionist-Klan iceberg can (arguably) be found in the pro-Israel politics of the post-WWII era “radical right” leaders, a pro-segregationist motley horde of neo-Jeffersonian professional racists essentially representing the “dressed-up” slick incarnation of Ku Klux ideology without the overt anarchist terrorism. Consider the sycophantic right-wing father-son duo of Medford and M. Stanton Evans, the former propping up (once-segregationist) William F. Buckley, Jr.’s National Review alongside support of Southern white-supremacist “Citizens’ Councils” (described as “country club Klan”),33 and the latter a conservative mouthpiece for “Israel.”34 Scott Thompson of EIR provided a succinct overview of the matter:35
Medford Evans's call for an alliance between the extreme right and the Zionist lobby in the September issue of the John Birch Society's American Opinion magazine does not merely acknowledge the longstanding fact of the support and funding by such Zionist organizations as B'nai B'rith and the Anti-Defamation League of the Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party, and similar racist and anti-Semitic organizations. …
Evans's "White Citizens' Councils" — which had several Zionist lobby agents in key leadership posts — were the bulwark of the Klan. Sources in the Klan suspect one of these Zionist agents, who occupied a treasurer's post in the Citizens' Councils, of laundering funds supplied by the Anti-Defamation League into the racist group.
There is also the apparent ADL complicity in organizing the 1964 Ku Klux Klan terrorist murders of the three civil rights activists in Philadelphila, Mississippi, though this subject is too complex to explain in the meantime.
Exhibit VII: American neo-Nazis (cir. 1950s–???)
I already mentioned—in a previous post—the role of ADL agent Jimmy Rosenberg in inciting a neo-Nazi rally, and this subsection will focus on another case example: Greensboro. EIR’s Thompson in Nov. 1979 summed it up this way:36
…both the left-wing “victims” in the CWP and their Klan and Nazi “assailants” were merely acting out in “living theater” fashion a scenario for an outbreak of domestic terrorism that was drafted at the Jerusalem Conference on Terrorism last July and directed through such terrorist-coordinating agencies as the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith and the Institute for Policy Studies.
Oh, and surprise, surprise! Rosenberg is once again relevant:37
The White Alliance, to which the 15 Klansmen and Nazis arrested for alleged complicity in the Greensboro murder all belong, is a Southern-based, right-wing umbrella group that is closely linked to other Klan-Nazi groups known to be controlled by paid agents of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Among these affiliated groups is the Pennsylvania Klavern of the Confederation of Independent Orders of the invisible Empire, whose Grand Dragon, Ray Doerfler, was in regular contact with those White Alliance members arrested for the Greensboro murders.
Incredibly, the man whom Doerfler has publicly named as "the brains" behind his Klan outfit, James Rosenberg (a.k.a. "Jimmy Mitchell"), is a self-admitted, paid agent of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
Then there is the Communist side:38
CWP Central Committee member Jim Waller (also known as "Blackbeard") has himself been identified by law enforcement sources in Greensboro as playing a major agent provocateur role in events leading up to the shootout. …
In the days preceeding the "Death to the Klan" rally, Waller had CWP members brought in from New York to distribute leaflets denouncing the Klan as "swine'," "scum," etc. and daring them to appear at the rally. U.S. intelligence sources report that both NBC and the Justice Department are in possession of film which shows . the CWPers in a virtual rampage 15 minutes before the shootings, dragging citizens out of cars, and committing similar provocative acts. And, these film records reportedly show that it was CWP members who fired the first shots!
In summary:39
…the evidence available from the known record of many associated with both sides of the Greensboro shootout indicate that it did not result from a spontaneous eruption of "racial" violence, but from the deliberate provocations of agents of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and similar agencies.
The murderous horror surrounding the Greensboro Massacre is unique because it cemented the complete and total unification of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi movements in the U.S., two terrorist factions of the Jesuit-Masonic world order once at mutual skeptical odds.4041 (←read this footnote) As to my own analytical conclusions, the instinctive logical takeaway from the terrorist bloodshed episode would be that the Anglo-Masonic puppeteers—via their ADL front organizational units—coordinated the racist mass murder to facilitate long-term ideological shifts and set up a new guard of “right-wing” extremism for future purposes.
Exhibit VIII: the South African apartheid interlude (1980s)
The cauldron of ADL reactionary sycophancy in the 1980s reached interesting levels under the direction of Irwin Suall, who “had come to believe that neo-Nazis and skinheads were no longer a major menace to American Jews.”42 Concurrent with Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres’s amicability with South African PM and Nazi collaborator B. John Vorster, the Anti-Defamation League:43
…participated in a blatant propaganda campaign against Nelson Mandela and the [African National Congress] in the mid 1980s and employed an alleged ‘fact-finder’ named Roy Bullock to spy on the anti-apartheid campaign in the United States — a service he was simultaneously performing for the South African government. The ADL defended the white regime’s purported constitutional reforms while denouncing the ANC as ‘totalitarian, anti-humane, anti-democratic, anti-Israel, and anti-American.’
And the spectacle of ADL ethnosupremacism apologetics44 (ironically) never ceased—the Apartheid Defense League truly has some level of longstanding gall.
Exhibit IX: ADL/JDL collusion (1968–???)
The anti-Arab, right-wing terrorism apparatus (justified in the name of defending Jewish people “by whatever means necessary”) of so-called “Jewish Defense League” (JDL) was—you guessed it—set up by the Anti-Defamation League:45
The JDL was a joint effort of the ADL, the FBI, and factions of the Israeli Mossad linked to Israel's Likud party. According to Robert Friedman, the biographer of JDL founder Rabbi Meir Kahane, targets for JDL'terrorism were selected by a secret committee made up of Mossad official (and later Israeli prime minister) Yitzhak Shamir, Knesset (parliament) member Geula Cohen, and Bernard Deutch, the head of the Brooklyn, New York chapter of the ADL.
The LaRouche reseachers were among the few—if not the only ones—who noted the ADL-JDL link; JDL’s militantly racist and ultra-right founder, Meir Kahane, was utilized as a pawn of the FBI and Israeli Lehi war criminal Yitzhak Shamir to operate “terrorist actions against the Soviet Union as part of the Zionist effort to get Soviet Jews to emigrate.”46
Even Arab American Institute director James Zogby—who didn’t understand the full ADL-JDL link—noticed an eerie shared agenda in a testimony:47
I am not suggesting that AIPAC, the ADL and the JDL [Jewish Defense League] are collaborators. They do, however, share a common political agenda, and their tactics in fact converge to create a personal and a political threat to the civil rights of Arab Americans and their organizations.
Exhibit X: anti-Arab harassments (1960s–present)
It is well-documented that the ADL conducted a right-wing conspiracy with FBI/police groups to target thousands of members of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee and obtain individual confidential information.48 This pernicious pattern of illegal spying against Palestinian activists goes decades back to the ADL’s effort to delegitimize the Organization of Arab Students (OAS):49
…ADL surveillance against the Organization of Arab Students (OAS) in 1969 coalesced into plans for infiltrating the OAS national organization in New York.
…
In the late 1960s, the OAS worked hard to unite visiting Arab international students studying in the US with Arab-American counterparts interested in connecting to developments in the region, primarily in Palestine. … OAS was not at all shy about criticizing US media coverage of the region or issuing direct challenges to the propaganda of the Israel lobby.
The ADL agents talk of alleged OAS links to armed Palestinian group Fatah, seemingly skeptical of one OAS spokesperson’s claim that ‘there was no real relationship between them, that the OAS was merely letting them sell their literature there.’ The name of the spokesperson has been redacted by the FBI, along with most other names in the file.
The OAS’s growing capacity to organize major events eventually sounded alarm bells at the ADL, which dispatched undercover investigators to penetrate the OAS national convention held in 1969 at Ohio State University.
…
When hard evidence surfaced that the ADL was illegally obtaining confidential information about pro-Palestinian and anti-apartheid activists, the police raided the ADL’s major California offices, after FBI investigations.
…
But the ADL never admitted to doing anything wrong, and never had to face any serious penalty. Palestine solidarity activists may well wonder what the ADL is doing in secret today.
A joint ADL-AIPAC effort to blacklist and discredit Arab advocacy groups as “antisemites” went underway.50 Mondoweiss’s The Mapping Project also noted:51
The attacks of September 11, 2001 gave the ADL an opportunity to expand its relationships with US police. In the climate of heightened anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism, the ADL ramped up its police trainings, arranging all-expenses-paid trips to the ‘National Counterterrorism Seminar in Israel’ for US police and related agencies. By 2016, the ADL could boast in an annual report that ‘100% of major U.S. metropolitan police departments have sent participants to the ADL’s National Counterterrorism Seminar in Israel and the ADL’s Advanced Training School in Extremist and Terrorist Threats.’ Through these collaborations, the ADL encourages domestic police to identify with Israel, to view Palestinians as ‘terrorists,’ and to see those who speak or act in solidarity with Palestinians as ‘terrorist sympathizers.’
Exhibit XI: endorsing Nazi-sympathizing Zionist far-rightists
A case look at the right-wing fascistic incursion in Brazil:52
The Bolsonaro government in Brazil is notoriously white supremacist. The government has systematically attacked Brazil’s Indigenous communities, making way for US corporations that exploit Brazil’s resources. Bolsonaro has associated with contemporary Nazis, while some officials in his government have echoed Nazi propaganda. He was also endorsed by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who said Bolsonaro “sounds like us” and praised him for “talking about the demographic disaster that exists in Brazil and the enormous crime that exists there, in the black neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro.” But Bolsonaro is a close ally of the US and Israel, which is why the ADL hasn’t launched a major campaign against his government, but only condemned his egregiously racist behavior when it got media attention and was condemned by other zionist groups and avoiding comment was impossible.
Exhibit XII: trivializing the Armenian Genocide (???–2016)
Sure, sure, the ADL did recant this one eventually… after years of stubbornness.53
Back in 2007, however:54
[ADL head Abraham] Foxman, 67, faced mounting criticism for refusing to back Armenian Americans in their quest to pass a congressional resolution recognizing as genocide the World War I-era massacre of Armenians at the hands of their Ottoman rulers. But after insisting that the ADL and the United States should not risk inciting Turkey, Israel’s most important Middle Eastern ally, by labeling the episode as genocide, he made a hasty — if less than contrite — retreat this week in the face of a potential mutiny from fellow Jews.
ADL values 101: support right-wing nationalist revisionism in whitewashing a genocide so Israeli foreign relations are not damaged!
Exhibit XIII: Baruch Goldstein, the mass murderer
The right-wing Krazed Kabbalistic55 Killer (← check out the acronym) Baruch Goldstein, perpetrator of the 1994 Hebron Massacre, was interviewed by Richard J. Prystowsky (who was on behalf of the ADL) just half a year prior.56 Oh, by the way, some Chabad Kabbalists revere him.57
ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt, following the white supremacist anti-Muslim mosque shootings in New Zealand, decided to conveniently forget about Hebron:58
Well I think this act of violence really doesn’t have a precedent as far as we know, murdering people in a mosque like this, and the social media dimension is something new. However, hate speech on-line is an increasing problem. We’ve got a big problem on our hands. We need to recognize social media allows white supremacy much like other forms of hate to travel across borders. and we’ve got to recognize it for the global terror threat that it really is.
Exhibit XIV: Trumpist Zionism (2017)
Per their own website:59
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed the announcement by President Trump that the United States officially recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and that he is beginning the process of relocating the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. ADL also welcomed the President’s statement of commitment to a negotiated Israeli-Palestinian peace, and urged the U.S., the parties and regional leadership to focus on reducing tensions and creating conditions for a rapid resumption of peace negotiations between the two parties.
…
For decades, ADL has called on the United States – and the entire international community – to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. … We welcome President Trump’s announcement that the United States – almost 70 years after the founding of the State of Israel – will begin the process to relocate its embassy consistent with the longstanding bipartisan consensus as enshrined in the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995.
And this was even though Trump’s decision was admittedly only “for the evangelicals”60 (to appease Christian Zionist eschatological endeavors), in addition to the murderous bloodshed provoked as anyone would’ve expected.61
Exhibit XV: right-wing racist slanders of Palestinian human rights activists (???–present)
Anti-Arab racism is a staple rallying cry of the American “Judeo-Christian” right wing, masked under the Islamophobic guise of “anti-jihad” (or whatever). Eerily akin to the screechings of overleavened doughfaces—i.e. infamous Jonanist Dinesh “Democrats are KKK fascists” D’Souza—who waste no opportunity calling left-wing activists the “real racists,” ADL head Greenblatt has propagated this exact format of bogus in 2022, equivocating Palestinian human rights activists with white nationalists.62 And it wasn’t the first time he made such comparisons.63
Of course, the so-called “traitors” in a “community” are always the most despised: Neturei Karta is constantly harassed in the streets of New York by reactionary Zionist fanatics (has the Anti-Defamation League ever condemned antisemitic attacks against NK?), and the ADL just will never quit hounding the left-wing Jewish Voice for Peace.64 Greenblatt certainly did the bidding of right-wing propagandists when he scored a “double-hitter,” smearing JVP along with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) as “Iranian proxies,”65 not to mention his likening of the keffiyeh to the swastika.66 Oh, and did you know that telling him “Free Palestine” is antisemitic because he’s “Jewish”?67
To demonstrate the inherently right-wing nature of the ADL’s slander against Palestinian human rights activists and who it appeals to, consider the case example of Orange Bolshevist sycophant Elise Stefanik, who the ADL denounced in May 2022 for subtly dogwhistling “Great Replacement” rhetoric.68 This didn’t stop Stefanik from eagerly citing ADL “report cards” in congressional neo-McCarthyite witchhunts to castigate liberal-leaning college environments as “antisemitic.”69 And in case you were wondering, the ADL was suddenly more than happy to showcase Stefanik as a citadel defender of Jewry.70 By the way: Stefanik in 2022 endorsed a Republican congressional candidate who called Hitler “inspirational.”7172 Just let all this sink in…
Anyways, the sheer moral rot of Greenblatt’s inflammatory reactionary propaganda caused even the otherwise-liberal-leaning Wikipedia of all sources to deem the Anti-Defamation League “unreliable” on Israel/Zionism-related matters.73 Of course, let’s just completely ignore the ADL’s infiltration effort into Wikipedia which violated site policy74 because Greenblatt’s drunkard whining trumps everything else.75
Conclusion
If the ADL wants to “fight hate for good,” it can start by apologizing.
More on this in a moment.
Now, surely, if Nazism is a form of socialism, as conservatives, libertarians, and classical liberals insist, it ought to pose the strange question of why no one—not even right-wing supporters of Putin—labels the Azovs as far-left socialists. The simple fact of the matter is that the majority of modern American right-wing activists are oblivious to moral consistency and deeper critical thinking, this author (a former affiliate of conservative causes) is incredibly sorry to say.

Why, you ask? The short explanation is that Nazism is a (reactionary) Jesuit “front organization” while the Ku Klux Klan was the outgrowth of—ironically enough—humanistic liberal reforms implemented by the Scottish Rite faction of Masonry (a “back” organization of Jesuitry). The eventual merge between the Klan and neo-Nazis constitutes essentially a “Hegelian synthesis” respectively between, in this case, the factional Masonic and Jesuit parties into a unified and more deadly extremist puppet front of “New World Order” aims. I will need to cover the details more extensively in a separate post.

Incredible research, thank you for pulling this together. I knew about a few of these examples but it's really powerful to see them all laid out together like this.
"“left” and “right” constitute the modern Hegelian “thesis” and “antithesis” to achieve a singular agenda" - this is really the crux of things. I have been thinking more and more of this phenomenon where right-wing extremism is finding different creative ways to a) veil itself into a liberal/leftist garb and try to reach left-leaning audiences through literal subterfuge or b) smear actual left-leaning entities as 'secretly Nazi', 'covertly right wing' or whatever. It's by far the most interesting part of their overall strategy, which on the whole is very blunt and unsubtle, so this is additionally fascinating. I am not aware of the left ever pulling those types of tricks. In general the left seems a lot more naïve in how it approaches political discourse. (By the left I mean actual left-leaning people, not the US democratic party which really isn't very leftist at all, in fact they are pulling the same types of tricks as the extreme right, trying to masquerade as 'the left' while in truth being center right at best).
Excellent 👍
