From www.ksuradio.com: A Message From The Gerb Report
June 11th 2009
This is a message to the listeners of my show The Gerb Report on http://ksuradio.com
Dear Listeners,
Do not let the media or people on the left distort the recent shooting at the D.C. Holocaust Museum into an act of right-wing extremism. A caller to Fox News yesterday said that the DHS report was right. The event yesterday was horrible and one in the name of a political opinion that is horrible, but it certainly isn’t right-wing extremism.
The shooter, James W. von Brunn, was a white-supremacist, which, if you have any sort of knowledge of history, means that most of his views were more in common with the Left than the Right. In many of this maniac’s writing on the internet, he was outspokenly against George Bush and the “neo-cons,” but not for reasons that sane conservatives and libertarians are. He associated the neo-conservative movement to a Jewish conspiracy. His philosophy also was against the growth of “big corporations” which is almost synonymous with left wing ideology.
Many will associate his antisemitic political views with Fascism or Naziism, which the media and education system has misconstrued as a “right-wing” philosophy. Anyone who has studied the economic and philosophical leanings of Fascism or Nazism would easily realize that it is a totalitarian system that shares a lot of the same views of the left. Obviously the left does not want to kill 6 million Jews, but the early Progressive movement was full of racists and eugenicists. Many of us on the right would agree that progressive economics hurt and separate different races more than free-market capitalism. It is the free-market that really levels the playing field.
Brunn was also a 9/11 Truther. This is obviously not a mainstream conservative view. Sure there are people on the right and the left who believe in this insane conspiracy, but it is mostly a left-wing phenomenon. 9/11 Truthers also generally believe in the New World Order and are weary of global institutions, globalization, and the Federal Reserve.
This becomes a problem for those who have sincere distrust of global institutions such as the WTO or UN and dislikes the policies and existence of the Federal Reserve. Anyone who speaks out against these institutions, as I have on numerous occasions, can become targets for the left. We can easily be lumped into such conspiratorial rantings of this “white-supremacist” and other extremist groups.
This man’s act was NOT a result of the Tea-Parties, FOX news, Conservatism, Libertarianism, or any other philosophy that might be viewed as “right-wing.” This man was mentally unstable and most closely resembled the political views of the New Left which shows occasional signs of antisemitism.
I am not blaming liberals or the Left for causing this act either. I am saying that we need to hold our media accountable, educate people and separate ourselves from the conspiratorial wing of our philosophy. We cannot have economic conservatism and free-market capitalism associated with lunatics. We are headed to a Corporatist Fascist state soon, and I sincerely believe this. Now is not the time to give up. We must fight harder and stand up to those who think we are just crazy, backwoods, hillbilly’s.
As Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann sit back in their chairs at MSNBC and take advantage of this event to promote their own agenda, we need to be showing people just how wrong these liberal “journalists” are.
I will be discussing this issue on my final show of The Gerb Report before I leave for London, next Monday, June 15th, from 4-6 p.m.
