Jews Versus Free Speech And Jeremy Bedford-Turner ex Occidental Observer

"The judiciary itself, which has
for so long been the last safeguard of our liberty and honor,
seems to have forgotten the difference between ‘just’ and
‘unjust’ in the general collapse of public morality and equity.”

The Jews: Kings of the Epoch
When I was younger, and first learning to play chess, the
part of the game I found most difficult was learning to
interpret the intentions of my opponent and anticipate his
course of action. Like most novices, my focus was on moving
pawns out of the way in order to bring more powerful pieces into
play. It was only as time progressed that I realized the
importance and inherent power of the pawns themselves, and with
that realization came an appreciation for my opponent’s opening
strategy.
I was very recently reminded of this learning curve by the slowly unveiling strategy of one of Britain’s Jewish ‘charities,’ the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA), which has placed free speech in check and threatens mate at any moment. In a case that will have devastating repercussions for free speech in Britain, CAA has proven itself even more influential than the government’s Crown Prosecution Service, which has now capitulated to the Jewish group and granted a judicial review into its earlier decision not to prosecute Jeremy Bedford-Turner, known among colleagues as Jez Turner, for a 2015 speech.
The Historical and Political Context
Context is crucial, and it is important to note that the
Turner case is the culmination of a strategy that long precedes
even the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism. This strategy, which in
Britain can be traced back to the 1910s, concerns repeated and
consistent attempts to bring about the criminalization of
‘anti-Semitism,’ or in other words, to make criticism of Jews
illegal. Although the precise nature of these attempts have
fluctuated slightly over time, Jews have been remarkably
prominent in the introduction of laws, or influencing the
interpretation of laws, that negatively impact on free speech.
Following the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, Jewish
delegates attempted to pass a resolution “outlawing
anti-Semitism” at that year’s annual Labour Party Conference.
[1] However, the bombing immediately cost the Zionists a
great many non-Jewish friends within the Labour movement, and
the proposal was emphatically crushed. Following the notorious
Sergeant’s Affair, in which Jewish
terrorists murdered British soldiers in barbaric fashion,
another explicit proposal to outlaw anti-Semitism was introduced
in the House of Commons, but was rejected at its first reading
in 1948. Direct and explicit efforts such as these continued to
fail. In Race Politics in Britain and France: Ideas and
Policy Making Since the 1960s, Erik Bleich notes that
“during the late 1950s and early 1960s Jewish groups sought laws
against anti-Semitic public speeches made during this era, but
there is little evidence that this pressure achieved substantial
results.”[2]
Further attempts to achieve such legislation were attempted through stealth, in that they concerned race more generally rather than Jews explicitly. These measures were also introduced, though unsuccessfully, with the assistance of willing White M.P.s with a track record of assisting Jews. Bleich notes that “a small number of individual Labour Party Members of Parliament repeatedly proposed antidiscrimination laws. In the early 1950s, Reginald Sorensen and Fenner Brockway each introduced ‘color bar bills’ designed to prevent discrimination against blacks on British soil.”[3] Brockway attempted no less than nine times over nine years to achieve laws against ‘discrimination’ and free speech. Although the full extent of the involvement of these politicians with Jews is unknown, a record of Parliamentary debates shows that Sorensen had been involved in assisting Jews since at least the 1930s, even participating in a 1945 symposium titled “The Future of the Jews,” where he gave a lecture to his mostly Jewish audience on “Our Common Humanity.” We have evidence that around the same time, Brockway was breaking the law by assisting Jews with forged passports and documents enabling them to enter Palestine.[4]
Since 1945, the Board of Deputies of British Jews had also been working on drafting a “group libel law” that it eventually hoped to get passed in Parliament.[5] Efforts to further tighten libel laws were made in 1952 when Jewish M.P. Harold Lever, introduced a Private Members’ Bill modifying Britain’s libel laws for the first time in over fifty years. However, Lever’s efforts were later mauled by a hostile Parliament to such an extent that by the time his Bill became an Act of Parliament, his provisions were not extended, as he and his co-ethnics had hoped, to cover groups.[6] Britain’s first legislation containing any such provision as prohibiting ‘group libel’ was introduced in Parliament by Frank Soskice, the son of David Soskice — a Russian-Jewish revolutionary exile. Scholars Mark Donnelly and Ray Honeyford state that it was Soskice who “drew up the legislation” and “piloted the first Race Relations Act, 1965, through Parliament.”[7] The Act “aimed to outlaw racial discrimination in public places,” though it was soon felt, in Jewish circles, that it hadn’t gone far enough. Crucially, the 1965 Act created the Jewish-led ‘Race Relations Board’ and equipped it with the power to sponsor research for the purposes of monitoring race relations in Britain and, if necessary, extending legislation on the basis of the ‘findings’ of such research.
In 1985, another Jew moved to criminalize expressions of White racial solidarity when M.P. Harry Cohen introduced a “Racial Harassment Bill” to Parliament. Scholar Rob Witte reports that Cohen’s attempt only failed because of “lack of parliamentary time.”[8] The following year, Cohen made a second attempt, which failed, only for Jews to return to more stealthy methods when racial elements were included with the much broader Public Order Act (1986). The Public Order Act had been introduced to Parliament by Leon Brittanisky (renamed Leon Brittan) and supported primarily by Malcolm Rifkind, a descendant of Lithuanian Jewish immigrants. It was another clever piece of work. Brittan’s team had been tasked with drafting a White Paper on Public Order to deal with a series of miners’ strikes and demonstrations. Although issues of race were not remotely related to the events provoking the White Paper, Brittan saw that the government was eager to pass legislation restricting the miners as soon as possible and, sensing that the wide-ranging bill would endure little opposition, he ensured that additional elements were included, such as the criminalization of “incitement to racial hatred.”[9] It is Brittan’s clever little addition which has posed problems for more vocal racial nationalists in Britain today, and which is being used in part in the CAA's war on Jez Turner.
The Turner Case
On July 4th 2015 Jez Turner, along with fellow
patriots, staged a static protest in Whitehall, opposite Downing
Street, in protest at the development of the Shomrim, a Jewish
‘defense’ group that possessed all the trappings of an illegal
religious police force. During the protest, it has been alleged
that Turner gave a speech in which he stated that that “all
politicians are nothing but a bunch of puppets dancing to a
Jewish tune, and the ruling regimes in the West for the last one
hundred years have danced to the same tune.” Turner is also
reported as having stated that Jews played an influential role
in the French Revolution and both World Wars, before concluding
that England was a content and successful nation during the
period of the expulsion (1290–1656), and adding that we should
“free England from Jewish control.”
Gideon Falter: Head of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism
Although the initial report to the police was made by the more senior Jewish organization, the Community Security Trust (CST), Gideon Falter, head of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism,[10] was the most vocal and ardent pursuer of the case. The police, in accordance with established process for ‘hate crimes,’ passed footage of the speech to the Crown Prosecution Service's counterterrorism division. It was here that Falter began to encounter difficulties, and why a further Jewish campaign to hinder free speech in Britain has acquired momentum in the last twelve months. While [ the Jew ] Leon Brittan’s inclusion of an ‘incitement to racial hatred’ clause in the 1986 Public Order Act was an important hit on free speech, it was not all-encompassing, and it did not come close to making ‘anti-Semitism’ illegal. The Crown Prosecution Service’s policy guidelines on cases involving ‘incitement’ under the 1986 Act clearly state that the language employed by a defendant must have been “threatening, abusive or insulting. These words are given their normal meaning but the courts have ruled that behavior can be annoying, rude or even offensive without necessarily being insulting.”
Moreover, further comment from the CPS has made it clear that the language employed by the defendant must have been “grossly abusive or insulting” or moved beyond reasonable “criticism” of a group, for a prosecution to be valid, since “it is essential in a free, democratic and tolerant society that people are able robustly to exchange views, even when these may cause offence.” At some point in the aftermath of Falter’s report to the authorities, the CPS made the decision that Jez Turner hadn’t said anything illegal and ceased legal action against him.
Five months after the speech, Gideon Falter approached the Chief Crown Prosecutor for London with a view to discovering the charging decision in the case. He was informed by the CPS that Turner was entitled to free speech and hadn’t broken any laws. Falter then attempted to request a Victim’s Right to Review, a request that was declined on the basis that Turner hadn’t mentioned Falter and therefore Falter couldn’t claim victim status. Falter then used his influence to obtain meetings with both the Chief Executive of the CPS and the Director of Public Prosecutions, both of whom informed Falter that Turner simply hadn’t broken the law. At that point Falter, who has previously boasted of “holding the government’s feet to the fire,” issued legal proceedings against the CPS in his effort to make ‘anti-Semitism’ illegal, with or without legislation.
It is with all of this in mind that we need to reconsider some other recent developments, because other pawns have been put in place just prior to the latest twist in the Turner case — the ‘test case’ for the criminalization of criticism of Jewish influence in Britain. These pawns have consisted of two major propaganda drives, both of which have been largely led or orchestrated by Falter. The first drive has been a constant media droning about a putative, but somehow mysteriously invisible, “rise in anti-Semitism” in Britain. Falter has been the chief author of this myth, writing in January 2015 of “Britain’s tsunami of anti-Semitism.” Falter’s ‘tsunami’ apparently consisted of a polling result in which 25% of British respondents replied positively to the statement: “Jews chase money more than other British people.” Falter, who evidences almost psychopathic levels of paranoia, claimed that even though this much-feared anti-Semitism was ‘invisible,’ “the Jewish population must be protected by the state. … British people must remind their Jewish countrymen that they stand with us. Anti-Semitism in Britain is not a Jewish problem, it’s a British problem.” In a masterfully Jewish false syllogism, Falter added that: “Jews are the litmus test of freedom – our fate is the fate of society.”
It is an unfortunate fact that the media and government have indulged the wanton paranoia of this individual and the group of fanatics that he leads. Falter has not only been given meetings with those at the highest levels of government and law enforcement, but has even been allowed to put forward proposals that Jews be allowed to ‘educate’ police and prosecution lawyers on who, and for what comments, they should charge. We may consider it a paradox indeed, for an allegedly poor, downtrodden, and persecuted group to “hold the feet of the government to the fire.”
It was on the back of this ‘fake news’ of a rise in anti-Semitism that Falter produced another masterstroke in pushing the British government to adopt a ludicrously vague ‘official definition’ of anti-Semitism:
Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
The significance of the adoption of this nonsensical statement had less to do with the definition itself, than it had to its part in the larger effort to criminalize criticism of Jews. The adoption of the definition, in tandem with Jewish-orchestrated media propaganda about a non-existent rise in anti-Semitism, has been part of an attempt to weaken interpretations of the 1986 Public Order Act that lean towards protecting free speech. Falter has complained that “our criminal justice system is failing badly,” by which he means that the criminal justice system is not fully serving Jewish interests. The new ‘pawns’ pushed forward by Falter and his ilk are intended to convince the public, government, and the legal system that Jews, and not free speech, should be protected, and that they should be protected from criticism — because, after all, criticism is based on “a certain perception of Jews,” and is therefore anti-Semitic. The implication of this phrasing, of course, is that actual data on Jewish influence on the media or the political process (including enacting laws against free speech!) are removed from honest public discussion and debate.
With the media-invented frenzy about the ‘rise’ in anti-Semitism, and the introduction of a new definition of anti-Semitism, all that was needed for a final assault on the deficiencies of the 1986 Public Order Act was a test case in which a defendant had previously escaped prosecution under it. Jez Turner was just such a defendant, and he has been selected by Jewish activists as the fulcrum on which the fate of free speech in Britain will turn. Just days ago, in an unprecedented eventuality, the CAAs legal team forced the CPS to reconsider its decision not to prosecute Turner. Falter gloated immediately that “their surrender was unequivocal.”
The question remains for all freedom-loving Britons and for all men of the West where this warning sounds: Will you surrender? One person who won’t is Jez Turner himself. I met Jez in person a little over a year ago in Stockport, England, and found him to be an intelligent and affable gentleman. He is not given to extremes, and is often considered in his choice of words and actions. We discussed history and politics over fish and chips, and literature during one (very windy) walk along the coast. A very talented speaker and organizer, Jez has given a lot to the cause in England, and has done so during periods where others have taken a back seat. In particular, his London Forum has been the lifeblood of the movement in Britain during the last several years. All of this, of course, makes him a valuable ‘scalp’ to our opponents, and the ideal target upon which to base the broader assault on free speech.
Despite the fact that a courtroom beckons, Jez remains in good spirits. In my last correspondence with him he had this to say — clearly anticipating a courtroom battle over the extent of Jewish influence in Britain. I can think of no better way to finish:
“Our job is to get the truth out there in whatever way possible and a court room is a good a place as any.”

Jews Whine About Being Hated Then A Perpetrator Turns Out To Be Black
QUOTE
I don’t want to say that the revelation of the identity of the
perpetrator of multiple bomb threats against Jewish schools, community
centers and museums is “funny,” because of course bomb threats are nothing
to joke about. And if such threats were made by someone “on our side,”
which is rarely the case, it would not do us any good in our eternal
struggle against Cultural Marxism. But we’ll have to admit that the
whole affair is steeped in irony; and as usual, the MSM [
Main Stream Media ] is left with some
egg on their face (not that they would ever acknowledge said egg).
Let’s try to map out the sequence of events: “hate crimes” and threats are perpetrated against the Jewish community (but no actual bombs). Outrage ensues and Trump is called upon to denounce these actions with just the right level of intensity. And his denunciation must be phrased with just the right words — because apparently we’re not even allowed to choose our own words anymore.
Somehow he is responsible, the media seems to suggest, because of the environment of rampant hatred that he has created. While Trump has done nothing but lavish praise on Jews, the fact that he has hinted that not every last human being is a boon to America has seriously rubbed the Jewish community in particular the wrong way; and they somehow infer that this leads directly towards anti-Semitism and indeed, a holocaust. Indeed, any hint of nationalism or populism is taken rather personally by the Jewish community, to the extent that they have identified members of such movements as dire political enemies. As a result of this dialectic, they assume that they are in turn identified as enemies by followers of populist or nationalist movements, with a bit of psychological projection and paranoia in the mix. In my opinion, this can lead to somewhat of a vicious cycle, to the point where these two sides may become enemies in fact, so that it is no longer a matter of paranoia and projection.
Trump, meanwhile, affirms himself to be “the least anti-Semitic person you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” More media rage ensues. Trump then suggests it might be some type of false flag (“Sometimes it’s the reverse”). Even more media rage ensues. On February 28th, Trump opened up his excellent Joint Address to Congress with a more full-throated condemnation of the anti-Semitic activity:
Recent threats targeting Jewish community centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week’s shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms. (Applause.)
Mainstream conservatives were gratified by this new obsequious tone. But still no love was forthcoming from the MSM. Shortly thereafter, the threats were confirmed as a hoax of sorts, and the Alt Right was vindicated (not to mention that Trump too was vindicated, at least in his earlier, more frank thoughts on the matter.)
Juan Thompson is perhaps the perfect foil for all that we have been preaching so patiently this last decade or two. Can we not take some delicious satisfaction in how this all transpired? The media was waiting anxiously for their great White defendant, drumming up this calamity of anti-Semitic incidents daily on NPR, et al, assuming the perpetrator to be a David Duke fan, perhaps a reader of the Daily Stormer, at minimum a Trump voter. And then…this guy.
Mr. Thompson simply made up quotes and stories in his career at the news website The Intercept. As is often the case, his lack of a moral framework is accompanied by a low intellect. The bomb threats were made to implicate his race-mixing, estranged White girlfriend, a scheme that perhaps only a low-IQ Black would attempt; but alas, he should stick with more straightforward criminal enterprises such as mugging, which requires less forethought and cunning. He was discovered by the FBI.
Further indicating his sociopathy, Thompson also falsely claimed to be running for mayor at one point to solicit donations on GoFundMe, and railed against the “White liberal media.” This is not even a matter of low IQ, or high-crime propensity; this is a disturbing disconnect from reality, and that special brand of malice such delusional individuals propagate
So how did the “anti-hate” Jewish organizations respond? Of course Thompson was condemned by the ADL, but their statement was strangely qualified: “While I cannot speak about what is in Mr. Thompson’s mind or certainly in his heart,” and, “while the motive is unclear,” ultimately they deem that this was an anti-Semitic act. That is as if to say, “this is not quite the perpetrator that we were hoping for, but we’re still not pleased with him.”
Back to Trump’s response, what is especially ironic is the pat on the back he received from Peggy Noonan over at the Wall Street Journal for his genuflections to political correctness and antiracism in his speech. Note that this editorial preceded the FBI’s identifying Mr. Thompson as the one responsible for the anti-Semitic incidents. It would seem that in Noonan’s eyes, this was truly the best part of the speech:
It was good that the president began the speech damning bigotry of all kinds: “We are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms.” This is not a hard thing to do rhetorically, yet is always important and necessary, because it reminds everyone in this fractious, bubbling, stressed and many-cultured country that we owe each other respect and regard, not only tolerance but affection. We won’t continue as a people unless we get this right.
So in this increasingly racialized, “many-cultured country” we are supposed to love everyone and somehow pretend that we are a people?? A people? This is elite dogma on steroids. Despite the long and bloody history of ethnic and religious conflict around the world and despite the obvious racialization of American politics, the left develops a utopian theory that America can somehow retain a national identity and that all conflict will magically disappear — despite the history of racial strife in America. The mainstream right is either too intimidated or too profit-minded to object, so we plunge headlong into a future that can only end in disaster
The president has taken to doing this lately. Why did he resist so long? Maybe in part because a man who believes himself unbiased will find it grating that others insist he personally, publicly, repeatedly oppose the ugly isms. Maybe he feels he has nothing to prove and suspects bowing to the demand is tantamount to conceding that he does. But Mr. Trump did have things to prove, because of the views of a highly vocal sliver of his supporters. In any case, presidents should say the right things.
That “highly vocal sliver of his supporters” with those deplorable views? Yeah, that’s us, the only people with enough balls to stand up to this absurdity. Noonan is an eloquent writer, she has conservative instincts — although it would be hard to guess that from these passages. She goes on to hypothesize that nationalist movements need to tone it down in order to be more successful:
There is something the leaders of populist, nationalist movements here and in Europe do not understand. They are not powerful, because they are perceived, on some level, by some people, to be racist or narrow or anti-Semitic. They fail to win power—they have low electoral ceilings, or fail to win half the votes—because of this perception. It doesn’t help them, it kills them. Because the majority of people don’t like the smell of sulfur.
Nationalists should actively and publicly reject and rebuke the forces of darkness. “We need them to win”? No, they’re the reason you lose. They’re not numerous, they’re only loud. Draw a line between them and you, raise your ceiling, get yourself a chance at winning. Which, if you are serious about your programs, vision and philosophy, is the point.
Completely left out of this is the constant chorus of propaganda in the media and the school system since World War II characterizing nationalism and populism as the epitome of evil, even without any explicit racial analysis and even with vehement denials of anti-Semitism. The smell of sulfur is imputed by the media and the educational system.
If Ms. Noonan’s goal is to further the electoral success of nationalist parties, this advice has already been taken. The main nationalist parties in Europe already reject ant-Semitism, are staunchly pro-Israel, and have eschewed any kind of explicitly racial analysis — Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen are good examples. They are vilified nonetheless simply for wanting to end immigration. Exactly what kind of nationalism are we left with if we can’t exclude such people?
But doesn’t the revelation of Juan Thompson as the perp throw cold water
on Noonan’s analysis vis-à-vis the importance of denouncing bigotry?
After all, said “bigotry” was essentially a hoax; therefore, the nature of
this perceived problem is different. Must we continue to “repeatedly
oppose the ugly isms” as our core mission, when, as it turns out, it was a
wayward Black, typically anti-Trump in his orientation, who caused all this
mischief in the first place? If anything, and I hate to say it, this
incident has confirmed all of our “ugly isms.”
