This is what we have in America today: not a genuine public debate, but public shaming of those whose opinions are deemed unacceptable by an extraordinarily well-funded hate group — one that ironically uses the “hate group” charge as one of its principal weapons.
“The refugee resettlement industry, which includes legions of immigrant-rights advocates, lawyers and community organizing groups funded by George Soros, the Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford foundations, among others, churned out a document in 2013 on how to deal with so-called ‘pockets of resistance.’ The document, authored by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of the nine government contractors doing resettlement work, advised refugee advocates to research the backgrounds of local people who oppose resettlements and turn them over to the Southern Poverty Law Center for public shaming as ‘racists’ and ‘anti-Muslim’ bigots.”
And so we see yet again how such charges are used to shut down honest discussion and debate of important issues, and to demonize those who oppose the Leftist/Islamic supremacist agenda.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is universally treated in the mainstream media as if it were an objective analyst and reliable source for information on “hate groups.” In reality, it uses the charges of “racism” and “bigotry,” to smear and marginalize those who dare to oppose its far-Left agenda.
“Bill launched to halt refugee resettlement,” by Leo Hohmann, World Net Daily, July 31, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
A Texas congressman has introduced legislation that would halt the resettlement of United Nations-certified refugees in the U.S. pending a full study on the program’s impact on the nation’s economy and national security.
Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, introduced the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act, or HR 3314, which places an “immediate suspension on allowing immigrants into the United States under the refugee resettlement program, until the Government Accountability Office (GAO) completes a thorough examination of its costs on federal, state and local governments.”
According to U.S. government data, nearly 500,000 new immigrants have come to the U.S. under the resettlement program since President Obama took office – with the state of Texas and its taxpayers taking in more than any other state….
A public backlash against the refugee resettlement program has sprung up in recent months in several communities, including Spartanburg, South Carolina; Twin Falls, Idaho; and St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The refugee resettlement industry, which includes legions of immigrant-rights advocates, lawyers and community organizing groups funded by George Soros, the Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford foundations, among others, churned out a document in 2013 on how to deal with so-called “pockets of resistance.”
The document, authored by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of the nine government contractors doing resettlement work, advised refugee advocates to research the backgrounds of local people who oppose resettlements and turn them over to the Southern Poverty Law Center for public shaming as “racists” and “anti-Muslim” bigots.
This strategy has already been employed to varying degrees in Spartanburg, St. Cloud and Twin Falls as residents have become organized and started demanding answers about how many refugees will be arriving, from what countries, and what the social and economic impact will be on school systems, job markets, health care, law enforcement and housing.
Shutting down First Amendment rights of resisters
In St. Cloud earlier this week, a speaker, Ron Brantsner, was scheduled to address refugees and their economic impact at a local VFW hall. Brantsner, a former Minnesota resident now living in California, spoke on the same topic earlier in Little Falls, Minnesota, attended by about 100 people. He has worked in the past with the Minutemen along the U.S.-Mexican border, and that was enough to get him branded a “racist” by a local union organizer in St. Cloud.
Jane Conrad, who has worked to organize home health-care workers for the Service Employees International Union, found out about Brantsner’s speaking engagement and announced a rally would be held Saturday, Aug. 1, on the court house square in St. Cloud, denouncing the “racists” who dared to listen to a speaker with whom she disagreed.
The VFW canceled the event at the last minute, but some local residents showed up anyway and were told by VFW staff they were welcome to come in and have dinner. A state legislator and a uniformed police officer were present, as was a friend of Conrad, the union organizer. A local resident, Bob Enos, reportedly stood up and gave a few words, described as a “pep talk,” by those in attendance, about the progress made in resisting the resettlement program on economic grounds. The union rep reported back to Conrad, who also got a professor at St. Cloud State University to send out an email denouncing the residents as guilty of bigotry.
Now, Conrad has again called for a protest rally at 12 p.m. Saturday at the County Courthouse in St. Cloud. The residents concerned about the growing refugee population overburdening their town are not backing down. They are organizing their own event and serving BBQ at the VFW Saturday. A large biker group has reportedly said it will make a showing.
“Anyone who shows the least resistance to refugee resettlement has to expect this type of aggressive agitation from the left,” said Ann Corcoran, author of Refugee Resettlement Watch and an activist who helped stop refugee resettlement in her town of Hagerstown, Maryland, about eight years ago. “You have to organize your own forces to confront the agitators and show them you won’t back down. In St. Cloud, Jane Conrad was stirring up the racial unrest, going to the Somalis and stirring them up. Our people were not the ones bringing race into the discussion.”
Branding veterans as ‘racist’
Keishia Buckentine, manager of the VFW Post 428 in St. Cloud, was present at the meeting and heard the short talk by Enos. She said he made no mention of race.
“They are accusing us of being supporters of racism, which we are not,” Buckentine told the St. Cloud Times. “I find it disgusting they would treat a group of veterans like this.”
But Corcoran is not surprised.
“This kind of trashing of the First Amendment rights of average American citizens who speak out or even question the refugee program is right out of the playbook of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society’s document,” Corcoran said. “St. Cloud residents have vowed not to bend to what they see as discrimination and intolerance against opposing views.”
The city of St. Cloud – in the heart of former Rep. Michele Bachmann’s district – has been swamped in recent years by Third World refugees sent by the U.S. State Department working in concert with the United Nations and its resettlement agencies, which includes Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services.
Bachmann said the refugee resettlement program has become something it was never intended to be – a steady stream of Third World population transfers to American cities and towns.
“What began as a heartfelt, caring response to a jihadist-created humanitarian crisis has morphed into an expansion of Third World immigration at U.S. taxpayer expense,” she told WND. “We now know the U.N. and U.S. State Department unilaterally foist large numbers of unvetted persons onto local communities. The state and local taxpayers, in addition to federal taxpayers pick up the tab, without the local communities’ consent.
“Destabilizing local communities often follows with concerned citizens wrongly smeared and demonized by community organizers who actively work to increase the number of immigrants.”…

THE PERSONS MENTIONED IN THIS POST — WHO ARE RESISTING RESETTLEMENT THAT HAS ADVERSE EFFECTS — NEED EMAIL OR PHONE SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE HERE AT JW — READERS AND COMMENTERS.
They are certainly getting bombarded with taqiyya spewing zombies calling them Islamophobes, racists, hatemongers, etcetera. The usual crap in order to strong-arm into submission.
Contact the courageous people trying to prevent another “Dearbornistan” —- while there is still some relatively free time in this weekend.

It should be considered a privilege, rather than a right, to come to the United States (or any other stable and prosperous Western country).
The Leftist cultural Marxists wish to replace the predominantly white populations that are concerned with liberty and replace them with Third World migrants who have no EXPERIENCE of liberty and who will easily accept the Dictatorship of the Vanguard of the Proletariat.
The Leftist cultural Marxists want to destroy the European culture based on freedom and replace it with tyranny. They use taunts of racism against anyone who resists their technique of POPULATION REPLACEMENT.

Spot on. Will the same ‘intellectuals’ who casually throw the word
“racism” around every few seconds be of any use when things
properly kick off thanks to their meddling? Of course not. That’s
why good honest and decent patriots should completely disregard
these contemptible liars, step over them and reclaim their country.

The oic and hillary worked to make this happen……the oic wants charges against anyone who tells the truth about the beast of islam and hillary, being fully aware of the First Amendment, said it could be done through “shaming.”
If one decides that what they think and say is right and knows he/she has a God-given right to say it, then “shaming” won’t work.
I say islam is the wild beast of satan…or at the very least, one of its evil heads out to destroy and devour. Call me racist, or bigot or stupid. I don’t care. I am not ashamed. I will not apologize for thinking it, will not apologize for saying it.
Those who are working to take over absolute control of mankind, using whatever trick and treachery available to them, have many irons in the fire and have *forced* others to apologize for saying what they think if it doesn’t fit in with the agenda of taking control.
islam and the so-called “refugees” are just one arm of it.

Our Creator has given us all freedom of speech. satan the destroyer has tried for centuries to take it away. This is just the latest tactic.

The SPLC for a long time now has had Orwellianism written all over it. It is a truly heinous organization that is steeped in mendacity and intolerance while posing as something good. Rather like Islam I might suggest.
RonaldB says
On rare occasions, duty is a pleasure.
I came into management of an account which had previously contributed heavily to the SPLC. For independent reasons, as it would be unethical to impose my own political views on an account I’m managing, I decided to stop all charitable and political contributions.
I have the pleasure of getting several SPLC solicitations, reports, newsletters, and appeals each month. I happily put them into recycling, knowing that each letter represents a waste of money for the SPLC. I also read the reports, which are the very soul of cut-and-paste, innuendo, hack “journalism”.
Wellington says
Thanks for that, Ronald B. Helped make my day. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for this great alert Robert Spencer! We the people must fight this UN invasion on the ground locally town by town, an illegal invasion plotted by our Dear Leader and aided and abetted by misguided and duped CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH groups that apparently dont get that this plot is intended to first overwhelm us at the ballot box and then wipe us off the face of the earth!

Cut the PIPELINE
The REAL problem isn’t the Muslims who are arriving but the Muslims who are already here and their enablers.
When he focus is on the poor down-trodden refugees who by the way “just happen” to be Muslims the glad-handers swoop down from their lofty PC perches and run cover for the well entrenched Muslims operating the Islamic pipeline.
Lucretius says
It’s no accident where they are targeting communities for resettlement. The Democratic Party (the party of democratic centralism) is using its current grip on power to flip red states such as Texas and Idaho into blue so as to insure a stranglehold on the spoils system and lasting political supremacy, and to plunder and weaken the industrious traditional Christian family middle class types who just want decent, decentralized limited government who oppose them. A humanitarian mask is cloaking the most naked power grab using culture and population replacement of utterly dependent welfare hangers-on. “You’re being selfish!” say the democratic centralizing lords. “We will MAKE you charitable, we will MAKE you give up whatever autonomy you have, we will bring you low like these lowly we force among you, until you accept management from us.” Just like in Europe.
RonaldB says
“The Democratic Party (the party of democratic centralism) is using its current grip on power to flip red states such as Texas and Idaho into blue…”
You’re right as far as it goes. There is an immediate return to leftists by creating a voting bloc which is solidly and stably leftist, Democratic, redistributionist.
But, beyond that, there is an Islamic theory of war, “The Quranic Concept of War” which specifically mandates the destruction of existing social structures, and confidence in them, as the first step in an Islamic takeover. There is nothing in Islamic doctrine that would make the end stages of such a takeover peaceful. In other words, the absence of terror is a tactic and not a philosophy.
Inundating American communities with violent, low-skilled, unassimilable refugees is a method of destroying the existing social structure.

Potential Muslim “refugees” (remember it is-Muslims themselves–for the most part–who are causing so much trouble in the M.E.) should be told that the U.S. is governed by manmade law and that most of the citizens are Christians.
They should also be asked if they are willing to live within those manmade laws or if they believe they have a religious obligation to promote or impose Islamic law here.
Both of these should be done in their home countries.
They should be sent to a different country if they are unwilling to live by our laws.

Public shaming and shunning is what Hillary told Mahoundians at the IOC, in support of their res 1618…
The UN should be thrown out, and the State Dept arrested. Who are these people anyway? Who told them it was OK to force their traitorous programs on the rest of us, changing the face of America without our vote or permission Is this what Rasool Obama the traitor meant by fundamentally change America?……How many of these people is Marie Harf going to put up at her place?…and the SPLC…come on punks, shame me..maybe I will visit your offices so you can shame me in person…up close and personal…

Granted that SPLC has extremely deep pockets, due to their very successful and very fraudulent fund raising… which is almost enough to make them bullet proof in court…. But isn’t it time that someone or some organization (Truth Revolt, springs to mind), to take them down in court, or at least launch a publicity campaign to expose them for what they are??
Paul says
Here we see a typically sly attempt to confound being against the
ideology of Islam with somehow being ‘racist’. You can scream at
these people till you’re blue in the face that Islam is not in fact a race
but it won’t make any difference. Some are probably brainwashed
and can maybe be reasoned with, but the others are mean spirited
traitors who will always deliberately misunderstand. They understand
the Goebbels mantra that if you tell a lie often enough it will become
the truth.
daniel sebold says
I have to wonder, ironically, if the way to take on the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society is to tell them to bring in as many Muslims as possible in order to start a mass anti Jewish movement in America. We want all the Muslims you can bring in so that we can take you on. I don’t know. I have always been pro Jewish, but something is wrong. Something is insane, and perhaps the best way to do deal with it is to tell the Jewish Immigrant Aid Society that they aren’t bringing in enough Jew haters into the country.
Tell all these Jewish pro Muslim charities that we want all ten million Somalis–I mean, what are they, anti Muslim bigots for not bringing all of them in? We want more cultures that lynch Jews, imprison homosexuals and mutilate little girls (Oh, yes, I forgot, the Eritrean Christians also mutilate their girls. Well, bring them in, too). Indeed. let those who want sharia in Minneapolis Cedar Riverside practice sharia– let them prosecute and imprison college girls in mini skirts who pass through their neighborhood–we could scare the hell out of these moron “liberals,” if that’s, indeed, what they are, accuse them of being Islamophobic by not being pro Muslim enough, for not supporting sharia, for not supporting abuse of women and homosexuals.
Where is all this charity coming from, anyway?. Where were these charities when the Guatemalans were being slaughtered in the seventies? Hell, the Mayans don’t mutilate their girls. Where the hell were these liberal charities then? Well, if this is happening in America, then the real motivation is not love and pity. Follow the money trail.
Gee, I really thought the Twenty-First Century was going to bring in generations of beautiful androgynous children, gender liberated boys and girls who were anti war, well educated and supportive of the world’s great Jewish scientists, but instead, we have a destroyed working class, a country with no labor unions, massive unemployment and a liberal class who wants to make things worse–turn the whole country into slave laborers, a hateful experiment on American working class guinea pigs to see how they will adjust to having their impoverished communities invaded by hapless Muslim immigrants who too often have issues we can’t being to fathom, who would have just as soon remained where they were, who have sometimes tried to return to their toilet countries (Hey, why live in a beautiful city like Minneapolis with its parks, lakes and museums when you can be living in beautiful downtown Mogadishu fighting old enemy war lords, doing what you do best, fighting your old nemesis?) Now this is something to write a Middle Eastern Studies Ph D dissertation about while the country starves.
