A just-released JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) study reveals a high incidence of a genetic mutation–the breast cancer gene, BRCA1–in Hispanic-American women, similar to the high incidence of that gene in Ashkenazic* Jewish American women. In my view–and the study concludes the same–this indicates a high incidence of Jewish heritage among Hispanic-American women:

The higher carrier prevalence in Hispanics may reflect the presence of unrecognized Jewish ancestry in this population.

And it’s backed up by history.

When I was in college, a topic that fascinated both myself and my late dad was the Hispanic “Secret Jews” of North America. I wrote my senior year thesis on it.

Because of the Spanish Inquisition, a number of Spanish Jews who came to South America, Cuba, and southwest America practiced outwardly as Catholics and secretly as Jews, even in North America. They were known as “Crypto-Jews,” meaning “Secret Jews.” (Inquisition-era Jews who converted to Catholicism to save their lives were called “Marranos” and “Conversos.”)

Many Crypto-Jews practiced Judaism secretly all along, and others did so once the Inquisition was exported to South America, such as with the Mexican Inquisition. It became part of their heritage, and today, there are many American Hispanics who have kept this tradition, including in the barrios of South Central Los Angeles (the subject of a 1995 CNN report)–sometimes lighting a Chanukah Menorah in their basement or eating flatbreads and crackers on Passover.

Former New Mexico State Historian Dr. Stanley M. Hordes has written extensively on this, including the excellent book, “To the End of the Earth: A History of the Crypto-Jews of New Mexico.” Hordes, who received his Ph.D. in Colonial Mexican History from Tulane University, did his doctoral dissertation on the crypto-Jewish community of Mexico in the seventeenth century. Other great books on the topic:

* “The Marrano Legacy: A Contemporary Crypto-Jewish Priest Reveals Secrets of His Double Life”

* “A History of the Jews in New Mexico”

* “Remnants of Crypto-Jews Among Hispanic Americans”

* “Hidden Heritage: The Legacy of the Crypto-Jews”

* “Secrecy and Deceit: The Religion of the Crypto-Jews”

* “The Mezuzah in the Madonna’s Foot: Marranos and Other Secret Jews–A Woman Discovers Her Spiritual Heritage”

Hordes heads the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, which promotes the research, study, and scholarship of the Jewish heritage of many Hispanics in America. (Since this topic greatly interested me and my dad, we have a great deal of literature on this. It was first reported on in the ’80s by National Public Radio.)

And there are many Hispanic Americans–to whom this tradition has been lost–but who unknowingly have Jewish ancestors. “Doogie Howser” (the ABC TV comedy from the ’80s about a teen medical prodigy) had an episode based on a true story, in which two Louisiana citizens that planned to marry tested positive for the Tay-Sachs gene, a condition specific to Jews. It turned out they had Jewish heritage of which they were unaware.

The JAMA BRCA1 gene study found:

In this population-based series of women with breast cancer diagnosed at age younger than 65 years, estimated prevalence of pathogenic BRCA1 mutations was highest in Ashkenazi Jewish patients (8.3%) followed by Hispanics (3.5%), non-Hispanic whites (2.2%), African Americans (1.3%), and Asian Americans (0.5%). . . .

Among African American, Asian American, and Hispanic patients in the Northern California Breast Cancer Family Registry, the prevalence of BRCA1 mutation carriers was highest in Hispanics and lowest in Asian Americans. The higher carrier prevalence in Hispanics may reflect the presence of unrecognized Jewish ancestry in this population.

It’s a small world after all. Much smaller than you realized.

* There are two regional categories of Jews, and they have different traditions and religious practices. Ashkenazic Jews are Jews who come from Eastern and Western Europe. (I’m an Ashkenazi.) “Ashkenaz” means Germany. Sephardic Jews is a term used to describe Jews from Spain, Asia, Africa, India, and the Arab world. “Spharad” means Spain, but the term really refers to Oriental and Near East Jews.

This leads me to ask why the BRCA1 gene mutation is not prevalent among Sephardic Jews, as they were the Jews who mostly populated Spain, not Ashkenazic Jews.

I predicted this, and it should be headline news. Dirty Harry’s made the final plunge into the dark side.
Last year, when Clint Eastwood made “Letters From Iwo Jima”–a story of the Battle at Iwo Jima from the Japanese point of view, I noted two things. I pointed out the unfairness of portraying U.S. soldiers as shooting Japanese soldiers, who’d already surrendered. Frankly, I wondered if he could point to a real example of that. AND I predicted–sort of tongue in cheek, but also to make a point–that Eastwood’s grandchildren would make a movie from Al-Qaeda’s point of view:

Iwo Jima: They Risked Their Lives so Clint Eastwood Could Trash Them

[A] few brief–but patently unfair–scenes showing Americans shooting Japanese soldiers who’d already surrendered. There is no evidence anything like this ever happened, but the point is to make American soldiers look bad. And it does the trick. . . .
I only hope that when Clint Eastwood’s grandchildren, 60 or 70 years from now, make their movie “from Al-Qaeda’s” point of view, it is equally boring and ineffective.

In a previous post on the movie over two years ago–when it was still being made–I also asked when Eastwood would make a movie from Qaeda’s point of view:

The only question I have for Eastwood is this: When is his pro-Bin Laden/Atta “perspective” film coming out about what happened on 9/11? That’s the logical progression of this outrageous “two morally equivalent sides to every story” BS that Eastwood is now pushing.

And in another review of “Letters,” I noted:

[T]he brief scenes of American soldiers show them to be creepy murderers who kill Japanese soldiers in cold blood after they’ve already surrendered. This is Director Clint Eastwood’s gift to the America that his given him so much–a huge slap in the face, after the first slap he already gave American Iwo Jima veterans with his specious, “Flags of Our Fathers,” earlier this fall.

Well, sadly, now my words have been borne out on both counts (though Eastwood’s grandchildren don’t figure into the mix).
Last night, on ABC News’ “Nightline,” Clint Eastwood admitted that 1) he basically made up the part in the movie about American troops murdering Japanese soldiers who’d already surrendered. And he thinks it will be a good idea to do a movie from Al-Qaeda’s point of view. When asked if there should be a movie made from the point of view of the Iraqi insurgents who’ve murdered our troops, Eastwood responded:

Sure. I’m sure there are some great stories there. Fifty years from now, they probably should make a movie like that. If I’m here . . . .

When asked, “Did American soldiers really shoot Japaneses soldiers who’d already surrendered, at point-blank range [as they do in “Letters from Iwo Jima”]?” Eastwood answered:

I’m sure that happens in every war.

In other words, he has no proof anything like that ever happened. He made it up. So, he resorts to the glittering generality about how that happens in all wars.
Keep this in mind the next time you see a movie directed by this liar and defamer of U.S. troops. Or better yet, skip his movies and rent “Dirty Harry” movies . . . when Eastwood was still proud to be an American.

There are so many promises politicians make about their terms in office that are lauded but not really meant. We’ve all heard of Congressmen who said they’d retire after three terms and then chose to run for re-election after that, anyway. And there are so many others like that, I’d be writing forever to enumerate them.
But my favorite tack was just taken by sleazy, corrupt, outgoing Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street. While many formerly around him are in jail for various bribery scandals and other crimes, Street is sitting pretty. And he’s doing far better than those who pass GO in “Monopoly.” Instead of collecting $200, Street will collect more than $111,000 on the way out.

Philly Mayor John F. Street: Money, Money, Money
So how does an outgoing Mayor–a public servant–get a $111,000 golden parachute? Well, Street opposed a payraise, as a campaign tactic, when he was running for re-election in 2003 and under fire from scandals. He said that even if the Philly City Council overrode his objection–which it did–he would not take the pay increase.
Now, though, that Street is on the way out, he’s taking that pay increase that he had previously forgone. Street’s salary was $146,000 per year, and the pay raise he refused would have paid him $165,000 per year. Now, Street will “retroactively” collect the $19,000 per year difference in pay per year plus interest, for a total of over $111,000, under the city’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan (which he opposed as part of the pay raise he opposed–he said Philly couldn’t afford it). That’s in addition to the $115,700 Street will get annually as a retirement pension.
The next time a politician publicly announces he/she will forego a payraise, does he/she really mean it . . . or is that just BS for a “Deferred Retirement Option Plan”–to collect the money with interest on the way out?
Pretty sneaky . . . and sleazy.

It’s interesting. Last night and all day today, TV news reports either claim (falsely) that it’s more peaceful in Jesus’ Bethlehem now because of the “peace” talks, or they say it isn’t and blame the Israelis for “checkpoints.” The same goes for print.
But, instead of using Christmas to attack Israel–even though they are safer because of Israelis and under attack all over the Muslim world, where they mostly must hold Mass in secret–you aren’t hearing much about Christmas in HAMASastan a/k/a Gaze. Maybe that’s because this one they can’t falsely pin on THE JOOOOS, no matter how much they want to. And, yet, they still try . . . even in this article. This story is telling of who is persecuting Christians in Iraq, Afghanistan, and every other Islamist land, as examplified, by the atmosphere on the day of Jesus’ birth, in HAMASastan:

Gaza’s tiny Christian community is keeping a low profile this Christmas, traumatized by the killing of a prominent activist in the wake of Hamas’ takeover of the coastal territory.
Few Christmas trees are on display, churches are holding austere services and hundreds of Christians hope to travel to the [Fatah]-controlled West Bank to celebrate the holiday in Bethlehem. Many say they don’t plan on returning to Gaza.
“We have a very sad Christmas,” said Essam Farah, acting pastor of Gaza’s Baptist Church, which has canceled its annual children’s party because of the grim atmosphere.
About 3,000 Christians live in Gaza, an overwhelmingly conservative Muslim territory of 1.5 million people. It has been virtually cut off from the world and its residents driven deeper into poverty since the June takeover by Hamas . . . .
Hamas seized control and tensions were exacerbated with the recent death of 32-year-old Rami Ayyad.
Ayyad, a member of the Baptist Church, managed Gaza’s only Christian bookstore. In early October, he was found shot in the head, his body thrown on a Gaza street 10 hours after he was kidnapped from the store.
He regularly received death threats from people angry about his perceived missionary work–a rarity among Gaza’s Christians–and the store was firebombed six months before the kidnapping. . . .
Christians fear that the Hamas takeover, along with the lack of progress in finding Ayyad’s killers, has emboldened Islamic extremists. . . .
At the Baptist Church on Sunday, just 10 people attended the regular weekly prayer service, down from an average of 70. There was no Christmas tree in sight.
Farah said the church’s full-time pastor, along with his family and 12 employees of Ayyad’s store, have relocated to the West Bank . . . . Farah said he prayed for forgiveness and love among Muslims and Christians. [DS: Keep praying.]
Community leaders say an unprecedented number of Christian families are already migrating from Gaza _ rattled by the religious tensions and tough economic sanctions Israel imposed on the area after the Hamas takeover.
While no official statistics were available, the signs of the flight are evident. Rev. Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza’s Roman Catholic church, said he alone knows of seven families that sold their properties and left the area, and 15 more are preparing to do the same.
Musallem blamed Israeli sanctions and excessive violence in Gaza for the flight. [DS: When Muslims Persecute Christians in a Muslim region, Blame the . . . . Jews, who left there 2.5 years ago.] . . .
“Exit is not on individual basis. Whole families are leaving, selling their cars, homes and all their properties.”
The signs of despair are evident at Ayyad’s home. Posters declaring him a “martyr of Jesus” hang on the walls. There is no Christmas tree this year.
Ayyad’s older brother, 35-year old Ibrahim, said his 6-year old son, Khedr, was nagged in school about his uncle’s murder. Muslim schoolmates call him “infidel.”
Ayyad’s wife, Pauline, 29, left for Bethlehem a month ago with her two children. She said their 3-year-old son, George, has been shattered by his father’s death.
“I tell him Papa Noel (Santa Claus) is coming to see you, and he tells me he wants Papa Rami,” she said tearfully during a telephone interview.
Pauline, who is seven months pregnant, said she plans to come back to Gaza for the birth. [DS: Big mistake.]
But many Christians privately said they would use their travel permits to leave Gaza for good. . . .
A family of four, refusing to be identified for fear their permits would be revoked, have sold their house and car and packed their bags. The wife has transferred her job to the West Bank and enrolled her son and daughter in school there. “We fear what is to come,” said the husband.
Fouad, a distant relative of Ayyad, said he also is packing up. He said his father, a guard at a local church, was stopped recently by unknown bearded men who put a gun to his head before he was rescued by passers-by.
“We don’t know why it happened,” the 20-year-old police officer said. “We can’t be sure how they (Muslims) think anymore.”
Those who are staying are trying to limit the risks. Nazek Surri, a Roman Catholic, walked out from Sunday’s service with a Muslim-style scarf covering her head.
“We have to respect the atmosphere we are living in. We have to go with the trend,” she said.

Sadly, that is the trend all over the world. . . even here in the U.S. Trying being a Christian Arab in Dearbornistan. Good luck.

Before the internet, when people still sent out a lot of holiday greeting cards, I used to make my own. The ones at the store weren’t funny or original enough in my view. Here’s the one I used for some of the Clinton Administration. Maybe I will have to resurrect it for the next four years. We’ll see . . .

These days, it’s so politically incorrect to cast “little people” and dwarves as Santa’s helpers, that moviemakers in “Fred Claus” used computer-generated imaging to make rapper Ludacris and another full-sized actor into elves. Other elves were flown in from Russia. But recently, the little people who played Munchkins in “The Wizard of Oz” held a reunion, and they say they’re proud to have played Santa’s elves:

The holiday season is traditionally a busy time for little-people actors. Many find work as Santa’s helpers for pageants and mall appearances.
Exploitative? Not according to some of the last surviving Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz.

Seven of the diminutive actors from the 1939 classic recently came together in Hollywood, where they were awarded a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They reunited at the Culver Hotel, where many stayed while shooting Oz, and talked about old times and timely issues.
Every one of them is proud of playing Santa’s elves throughout the years.
“I played elves all my life,” boasts Jerry Maren, 87, who was one of Munchkin Land’s Lollipop Guild kids before playing a space alien on The Beverly Hillbillies, a Halloween gremlin on Bewitched and an elf in the 1984 Mickey Rooney holiday TV movie It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. “I played elves in numerous commercials ‚Äî and also St. Patrick’s Day leprechauns.”
“And I worked in malls,” beams Margaret Pellegrini, 84, who played an Oz Flower Pot Lady and a bird’s-nest Sleepyhead. “I would do the picture-taking with Santa Claus. I’d put the kids on Santa’s lap and try to calm them down. Playing elves is great.”
“Oh, yes,” agrees Ruth Duccini, 89, who was one of the Munchkin villagers. She recently saw the recent release Fred Claus and was disappointed not to see any of her pals in roles. “They brought some of those little people in from Europe.”
Russia, actually. Thirty-one of them, says Lidia Lukes, a London-based executive assistant on the film. They all enjoyed comfortable accommodations during the three-month shoot. . . .
On the Fred Claus set, the word “midget” was forbidden. . . .
Today, the dated term causes many to recoil. But not the Munchkins.
“I don’t mind being called a midget,” Duccini says.
“Midget or little person is fine,” Pellegrini echoes.
Only Vaudeville vet Mickey Carroll, 88, who provided many of the Munchkin voices, objects to the term. If anyone were to call him “midget,” he says, “I’d kick ’em in the shins.”

Now, let’s hear from Willy Wonka’s Oompa Loompas. I’d bet the sentiments are the same.

To all of my Christian Readers & Friends, I wish you a very joyous and merry Christmas, full of family, good food, and fun. Enjoy.
Remember, it is because of America’s strong Christian tradition that we have not fallen to Islam in the way Europe, er . . . Eurabia is. About 75% of Americans are Christians. It is because of your strong faith that I am able to freely practice my faith. While some try to erase references to Christmas in America–whether in commerce or in education, whether in Hollywood or in trying to decimate Nativity scenes at the local city hall lawn–I am not among them. I do not share your religion and nor some of your religious beliefs, but I celebrate that you celebrate.

10% of Americans wait until today to start shopping for Christmas gifts (5% wait until AFTER the holiday). And statistics show–and anti-male news reports beat you over the head with it–that many men are only buying their Christmas gifts today, Christmas Eve. But that’s not a bad thing. It tells us that men are too busy worrying about more important priorities, like work and providing for their families. Women shop. Men buy gifts. There’s a big difference in the time commitments for the two distinctly different activities.
But, for those of you who haven’t yet bought your gifts, many stores and malls are open, even until 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. And I’ve put together a list of a few things I like. For those that can only be ordered online, you can give a card with a notice that you ordered this and it will arrive in a few days. That’s what many Wii-givers are doing, with the shortage of units instantly available at stores. Here are my recommendations:
Miscellaneous/Universal Gift

* HoMedics Massagers, especially the Shiatsu Massage: Why spend upwards of $100 for a one-time appointment for your spouse/friend with a real masseur/masseusse, when you can buy years of instant massages in the comfort of the recipient’s home? That’s what the HoMedics massagers do. Whether or not you have a sore or bad back, you will love this and can work it while you watch TV or a DVD or while you’re at your computer. The massage pad seat is portable and can fit on any chair or couch. They’re equipped with a remote control, in which you can choose the intensity and area of massage, and works very well. I own this product, and I love it. Plus, I’ve tried all of the various models. I recommend forgoing the more pricey models that have heat and going for the ones that have both Shiatsu and Rolling massage in one.
They range in price from $40 to $150, with heat, rolling massages, and Shiatsu-style massage. At Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Linens ‘N’ Things, you can use a 20% off coupon and get them even more cheaply. These are also available at CVS, Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Meijer, Macy’s, Kohl’s, and pretty much every major retailer, so you can find them at the last minute.
Added bonus: The owners of the privately-held HoMedics, a Detroit area company, are pro-Israel are former Israelis and kids of Holocaust survivors. I know them personally. CEO Alon Kaufman, a former Israeli, is a big donor to the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, other pro-Israel endeavors, and many conservative Republican candidates. Yes, Muslims, another set of great products by THE JOOOOS that you must add to your boycott list and cannot enjoy with the rest of us. I went to school with his Alon’s wife, Shari Ferber Kaufman, whose father and my late grandfather, Isaac, were good friends, as they were both Holocaust survivors from the same area of Poland and fellow members of the Radomer Society (for Holocaust survivors), a landsmanschaft (an immigrant benevolent organization formed by ex-residents of the same locality, town, or district).
Movie Lovers (Although I’ve listed Amazon prices, you can probably find these at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, major bookstores like Barnes and Noble, etc.):

* The “Blade Runner” 5 DVD Box Set: This is something I’d love to receive. If your gift recipient likes this great, timeless 1982 Harrison Ford/Rutger Hauer/Sean Young movie about androids in the future, this is a great gift. It comes in several versions, all in a cool-looking silver briefcase–Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition), $54.99 at Amazon.com; Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition) [Blu-ray], $66.95 at Amazon.com; Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition) [HD DVD], $69.95 at Amazon.com. Or you can get the one that doesn’t come in a briefcase and doesn’t have all the extras, Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector’s Edition) [HD DVD], for $27.94 at Amazon.com.

* James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set: This is pricey, $224.99 at Amazon.com, but for the James Bond fan, it’s all-inclusive. Consisting of 42 discs, this one includes every single James Bond movie ever made–all 21 of them to date. George Lazenby, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig. This one has them all, from “Dr. No” to “Casino Royale.” 21 discs of movies, and another 21 discs of special features.
* Rocky: The Complete Saga: Every Rocky movie ever made, from “Rocky” to the recent “Rocky Balboa,” this is a great gift. Sylvester Stallone may support illegal aliens, but Rocky Balboa is a great example of the American dream, of beating the odds, and fighting until there’s no fight left. He’s the epitome of what’s great about America’s working class. Six discs for $40.99 at Amazon.com.
Book Lovers (Although I’ve posted the links to Amazon, you can go to a bookstore and find these):

* “Lincoln: The Presidential Archives” by Chuck Wills: For the patriot and history-lover on your list, this is the perfect gift, especially if the recipient loves learning about President Lincoln, as I do. Also a great learning tool for kids. The cool thing about this book, which r looks like a coffee table book but isn’t, is that it features full-size pull-out replicas of Lincoln’s various documents, speeches, and letters, including Lincoln’s letter to Shields outlining the terms of their forthcoming duel (he ordered “cavalry broadswords of the largest size” for the 1842 duel; the duel was later canceled) and Lincoln’s patent application. Here’s a brief review from the February 2008 issue of “Midwest Living” Magazine:

Chuck Wills’ “Lincoln: The Presidential Archives” (DK Publishing) summarizes the Illinois lawyer’s life in lively text, but the hook is a photo-filled “museum in a book” format. It includes pull-out copies of documents such as letters, the Emancipation Proclamation and a Pony Express note announcing Lincoln’s election.

It has a list price of $40.00, but is only $26.40 at Amazon.com.
* “America’s Survival Guide: How To Stop America’s Impending Suicide By Reclaiming Our First Principles and History” By Michael Warren: This excellent book is the product of over a decade of research by prescient Detroit area Judge Michael Warren. He, alone, is responsible for stopping the State of Michigan from enacting a PC curriculum in which America is not a country to be respected and we are all citizens of North America. “America” was about to be erased, and only he noticed.
I’ve noted Judge Warren’s great op-ed pieces in the Detroit Newsistan sounding the alarm bells. But this book isn’t about Michigan, it’s about America and how the Constitution and the principles of our Founding Fathers have become lost to their proper place in Society. Judge Warren documents how ignorance and the disdain of the PC forces have eroded it in education, in the courts and legal practice, the media, etc., and how “the light of liberty is slowly being extinguished.” And he provides ideas for reform. I will be posting a more extensive review of this book in the near future. But, no need to wait on that. Highly recommended. Visit his website, America’s Survival Guide, for a sampling of what’s in this excellent book. List price of $15.99, but available for less on Amazon.com.

Wow. This one is surprising. I liked Will Smith and his acting. I thought he was great in “The Pursuit of Happyness” and “I Am Legend.” Now, I’ll have to keep this story–thanks to readers West Dearbornistan and Alex–in mind for all future Will Smith assessments. The guy is clearly clueless.
This is taking “Good Will (Smith) Towards Men” to the extreme:

Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a “good” person.
The Men In Black star, 39, is determined to see the best in people, and is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power in the 1930s and ’40s.
He says, “Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today’.

Will Smith Hearts Hitler

“I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.”
Hitler’s totalitarian leadership as Fuhrer during 1934 until his eventual suicide in 1945 resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and his invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the start of the Second World War.

And the total was not just the six million Jews–though they were the primary focus of the camps and the target of “The Final Solution”–but eleven million total (including the six million Jews).
I guess Will Smith never heard of an obscure book, “Mein Kampf,” which is now popular all over the Muslim world (including in Dearbornistan). It’s just a tad of evidence that Hitler didn’t just wake up in the morning with this “twisted logic.” He had a lifelong hate for Jews and others.
Um, just wondering how Smith would feel if a major movie star made the specious claim that slave-owners and racists were essentially good people who set out to do what they thought was “good stuff” and really didn’t understand the pain and harm. That they “just needed a good reprogramming”? How would Smith like it if some movie star said that the Jim Crow laws were well meant and essentially good?
As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and the member of a family, most of which was wiped out by the Nazis, I think I can speak for my entire family (including those who were murdered by Hitler and his henchmen) in saying that Hitler knew exactly what he was doing. And there wasn’t a single “good” intention in it. Not in the ashes of Auschwitz and Dora and Gross Rosen. And not in the human lampshades and tombstone sidewalks of the rest of Nazi Europe.
Well, now we know that the White Supremacists and Will Smith have a lot in common. Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit about a blind Black Klansman. Jodie Foster said Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl was “misunderstood,” when she was pushing to play the woman in a movie. Maybe, with this absurd Fresh Prince “psychoanalysis,” Will Smith is angling to play Hitler in a new biopic.
This Nazi revisionism is getting tiresome. Not to mention, extremely disturbing.
But don’t worry, this won’t hurt Smith. It’s barely gotten notice anywhere. Hollywood will continue to embrace it’s top-earning box office star. Heil, Will.

Tonight, at 9:00 p.m., while NBC is showing primetime NFL football and FOX and ABC are showing movies, CBS is treating you to the words of Hezbollah spiritual leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, about whom I’ve written a great deal on this site.
Incredibly, Fadlallah is introduced not as the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, but as a “prominent Shi’ite Muslim leader,” in a “peaceful” pre-Christmas religious special, “In G-d’s Name.” That’s kinda like saying Adolf Hitler was a “prominent German leader,” and Osama Bin Laden as a “prominent Muslim leader.” Fadlallah’s background with Hezbollah is briefly mentioned as “controversial” in his bio on the CBS website. But CBS claims he’s condemned suicide bombings and 9/11. Riiight.

Hezbollah Spiritual Leader Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah:
Stars on CBS Pre-Christmas Prime Time
Fadlallah is the man who issued the fatwah to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and civilians in Beirut in 1983, sanctioned the torture murder of Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem, and also issued the fatwah to blow up the Jewish Community Center and Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the mid-’80s. And he, of course, was the religious force behind the Hezbollah-Israel war of last year. That’s not to mention the Khobar Towers murders of Americans and countless other joint Al-Qaeda/Hezbollah operations to murder Westerners. Fadlallah’s Al-Mabarrat “charity”–which he heads–funds “martyrs” and their orphans. You know what that means, which is why its Dearbornistan affiliate was raided by the FBI, earlier this year.
Should this guy really be on two hours of America’s major network broadcasting airwaves, the night before Christmas Eve? It’s really a thumb in the eye of our American troops and the families of those who were murdered by Fadlallah’s fatwa and his terrorist group. The guy is a terrorist leader, plain and simple, and he’s on the State Department Terrorist list.
Yet, he’s being touted as your average major religious leader on CBS tonight. One wonders if the network even mentions his background on the show, tonight, at all. If so, it will be the same apologism they have for him on the CBS website . . . or worse.
This isn’t the first time I’ve written about CBS’ pan-Islamist tactics, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Dan Rather may be gone, but his former network is up to its old tricks of trying to pull the wool over its viewers eyes.
