Never forget: anti racism in any form actually means anti white. Period. End of story. -- Ed.
Rep.
John Conyers is reintroducing the same hate crimes bill which passed
the US House two years ago, I was told yesterday by the legislative
expert for Rep. Jackson-Lee. A representative of the House Judiciary
Committee told me Conyers' bill will be in Judiciary, which he
heads, by Friday. The new title and bill number are not yet disclosed.
Conyers' bill gives much more dangerously invasive power to the
federal government than would have been granted by the shorter,
proto-hate bill HR 256 which has been in House Judiciary since
early January. That shorter bill will now be abandoned.
Conyers’ bill will give government the right to enter law enforcement to
punish violent hate crimes, punishing “as a principal” those pastors,
writers, talk show hosts, etc. whose public speech incites violent hate crimes.
It will also empower government to intervene to investigate and punish all non-violent
bias crimes against persons or property. The government can do the same for alleged
felonies. Its power will massively expand, with corresponding loss of states’ rights
in law enforcement. The federal government will be able to nullify verdicts in
state hate crime trials; it will force the remaining five US states without hate
laws to submit to its statutes; lastly, it will create a federal hate crimes
bureaucracy to "prevent" hate crimes in America through education and other means.
I warned in my recent article “Pelosi’s Hate Bill Strategy” (here
at www.truthtellers.org, March 16, 2009) that arrival of Conyers' bill was
imminent. Rep. Jackson-Lee’s streamlined David
Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act, HR 256, was created largely to test the
waters for opposition. For almost three months, the largest Christian/conservative “watchdog” groups
have not responded with any effective education or protest. A small but valiant
protest has been directed to members of the House Judiciary Committee, primarily
by supporters of the National Prayer Network. But Conyers and the pro-hate bill
Democrats must feel emboldened by the near silence from the religious right.
We may expect the hate bill to move through the House Judiciary Committee quite
rapidly, with hearings perhaps within the month. The only thing, apart from God’s
grace, that can stop the expanded hate bill from victory in the House is renewed
protest—especially to House Judiciary members. Their
names are available here at www.truthtellers.org. Call 1-877-851-6437 or
toll 202-225-3121 and tell your members of Congress, “Please
don’t vote for any hate crime legislation, especially Rep. Conyers' new
hate bill being introduced this week.”
