“You arentt doing research. (Ive proven you dont know basic facts) You are just spreading antisemitic propaganda. How long will it be before you blame the assassination of Franz Ferdinand on Jews and call of the Holocaust a Hoax, given the crap you quote?”
All my investigation started with a speach from this guy:
http://benjaminhfreedman.blogspot.com/
I initially thought the guy was a nut job but I looked into his statements and it all checked out as fact. All the players, the dates, the relationships of the players. It all fit together and I was/am astonished. Please...its not crap and I would never, ever call the holocaust a hoax.
I’d like to hear what other freepers think about Freedman.
What do you think about Freeman and his speech, rmlew?

I'll put this up, but its kind of long. Its the notes that I took while looking into Freedmans 1961 speach. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_H._Freedman: Benjamin Harrison[1] Freedman, (1890 May 1984)[2] was a convert from Judaism to Roman Catholicism,[3] known for his antisemitic views and writings[4][5][6] and activism against Zionism.[7][8] Freedman was a partner in a dermatological institute and in small business. It is important to keep in mind that Freedman's speech was given before a patriotic audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Conde McGinley's patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense. Freedman starts off his speech with some history and begins in 1916. He explains that Zionists brought the USA into World War 1 by making a deal with Britian to give them (the Zionists) Palestine after they win the war with the help of the USA. Freedman says: We were railroaded into -- if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into -- that war merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. That is something that the people of the United States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War I. The subject at issue here is what happened back in the days of 1916 that eventually brought the USA into WW1? Was it a Zionist conspiracy? Lets hop back on the Internet and see what we can find....I Love The Internet!! :-) History shows that in 1915, the RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat killing 1,198 people. 128 of those killed were American citizens. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into World War I and became an iconic symbol in recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania My understanding is that it is this event that president Wilson used as the reason to get into the war with the Allied Powers against the Central Powers. This is what I've always seen on The Discovery Channel and The History Channel and many other places of media. BUT WAIT!!! http://smoter.com/america'.htm Is a great read with footnotes to confirm what is written. This is important!! Winston Churchill was Lord of the British Admiralty back then and WW1 was in full fury. He HATED Germany so much that By February of 1915 Churchill intensified his "ruthless policy designed to escalate and inflame the war at sea," and endorsed a policy of masquerading certain British naval ships as unarmed merchants. Crews were ordered to wear civilian clothes so as to lure German U-boats to the surface where they could be overpowered and destroyed. German "White flags" were to "be fired on with promptitude," and survivors were to "be taken prisoner or shot--whichever is the most convenient."5 Churchill's actions, consequently, stripped all British merchant ships of the right to expect warning. The Germans had "no alternative but to depart from the Cruiser rules of war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prize_rules Churchill began arming merchant vessels, and "from October 1914 onward a steady stream of inflammatory orders were issued to the masters of British merchant ships. It was made an offense to obey a U-boats order to halt."4 Captains were to engage the enemy with any armament they had or attempt to ram the sub if they lacked arms. Any captain surrendering his ship was to be prosecuted and several were. Since a sub is but a frail vessel, any merchant ship offering resistance placed the sub in a grave position when it surfaced. German sub commanders, consequently, were often forced to fire on "unarmed" merchant ships. On Sept 17, 1914 the huge ocean liner, Lusitania, had her armament mounts installed and entered the Admiralty fleet registered as an "armed auxiliary cruiser." Four days later, Churchill was viewing the Lusitania towering above him when an acquaintance remarked that the navy had nothing like her. Churchill mumbled: "We have. To me she is just another 45,000 tons of live bait." So......we see at what lengths that Churchill (Great Britian) was willing to go to to get the USA into the war. Between that and Wilson, it worked. Read on.... The Zionists in London had sent cables to the United States, to Justice Brandeis, saying "Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England what we want (Palestine). Now you go to work on President Wilson and get the United States into the war." ...appears to be completely factual. Louis Dembitz Brandeis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson nominated Brandeis to become a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. However, his nomination was bitterly contested, partly because, as Justice William O. Douglas wrote, "Brandeis was a militant crusader for social justice whoever his opponent might be. He was dangerous not only because of his brilliance, his arithmetic, his courage. He was dangerous because he was incorruptible. . . [and] the fears of the Establishment were greater because Brandeis was the first Jew to be named to the Court." He was eventually confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 47 to 22 on June 1, 1916, and became one of the most famous and influential figures ever to serve on the high court. Well......this is getting interesting. Lets dig deeper: Relatively late in life the secular Brandeis also became a prominent Zionist leader. He became active in the Federation of American Zionists in 1912, as a result of a conversation with Jacob de Haas, according to some.[45] His involvement provided the nascent American Zionist movement one of the most distinguished men in American life and a friend of the next president. Whoa!!! The next president was Wilson!!! The guy that got us into WW1. Holy CR@P!!! Was Wilson a Zionist too??? OK...Who the heck is this Jacob de Haas fellow? Back to the internet we go.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_de_Haas Jacob de Haas (1872 1937) was a British Hasidic Jew, a journalist and an early leader of the Zionist movement, who propagated the movement in the United States. De Haas was born in 1872. He was the secretary of the First Zionist Congress and he introduced Theodor Herzl to the UK in the Jewish World newspaper. At the Third Zionist Congress in 1899, he and L. J. Greenberg were elected as members of the Zionist Organization's Propaganda Committee.[1] He moved to the United States in 1902. Theodor Herzl, had suggested to Richard Gottheil that he hire de Haas as the new secretary of the Federation of American Zionists (FAZ) to replace Stephen Samuel Wise. De Haas assumed the leadership of the fragmented American Zionist movement. One of his best known accomplishments was his befriending of Louis Brandeis, the best known, and admired secular Jew in America. De Haas introduced Brandeis to the ideas of Theodor Herzl and ideals of Zionism. After a relatively short period of examination and self-examination, Louis Brandeis became an ardent, committed Zionist in 1908. More importantly, Brandeis, would head the FAZ and the American Zionist movement by 1912.[2] Who the heck is this Theodor Herzl guy that got Haas into the leadership of the American Zionist movement??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl Theodor Herzl (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין זֶאֶב הֵרצְל, Hungarian: Herzl Tivadar, Serbian: Теодор Херцл; Teodor Hercl); May 2, 1860 July 3, 1904), born Benjamin Zeev Herzl, also known as חוֹזֶה הַמְדִינָה, Hozeh HaMedinah, lit. "Visionary of the State" was an Austro-Hungarian journalist and the father of modern political Zionism and in effect the State of Israel.

What do you think about Freeman and his speech, rmlew? It is BS by a deranged antisemite. If I can start proving lies and garbage would you do basic research and stop this crap? I doubt it.
Now, first of all, I'd like to tell you that on August 25th 1960 -- that was shortly before elections -- Senator Kennedy, who is now the President of the United States, went to New York, and delivered an address to the Zionist Organization of America. In that address, to reduce it to its briefest form, he stated that he would use the armed forces of the United States to preserve the existence of the regime set up in Palestine by the Zionists who are now in occupation of that area.
Except that Americans aren't used for this. And, of course, antisemites like to blame Zionists for Kennedy's assassination.
n other words, Christian boys are going to be yanked out of their homes, away from their families, and sent abroad to fight in Palestine against the Christian and Moslem Arabs who merely want to return to their homes. And these Christian boys are going to be asked to shoot to kill these innocent [Arab Palestinians] people who only want to follow out fifteen resolutions passed by the United Nations in the last twelve years calling upon the Zionists to allow these people to return to their homes.
Never happened. Quite the reverse. America has pressured Israel to give up territory for Arabs under every administration since Truman.
Now, when United States troops appear in the Middle East to fight with the Zionists as their allies to prevent the return of these people who were evicted from their homes in the 1948 armed insurrection by the Zionists who were transplanted there from Eastern Europe... when that happens, the United States will trigger World War III.
The Arab states invaded Israel in 1948, not the other way around. This is a basic, incontrovertible fact.
Not only that... they ordered the creation of the Palestine Army, and they are now drilling maybe a half a million soldiers in that area of the world to lead these people back to theirhomeland. With them, they have as their allies all the nations of what is termed the Bandung Conference Group. That includes the Soviet Union and every Soviet Union satellite. It includes Red China; it includes every independent country in Asia and Africa; or eighty percent of the world's total population.
In other words, Freedman's antismeitism pushed him to support the Communist war against Israel.
And what is the reason ? The reason is that here in the United States, the Zionists and their co-religionists have complete control of our government. For many reasons too many and too complex to go into here at this -- time I'll be glad to answer questions, however, to support that statement -- the Zionists and their co-religionists rule this United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this country.
That's odd. In 1956, the US betrayed Britain, France and screwed Israel to help pro-Soviet Egypt.
Within two years Germany had won that war: not alone won it nominally, but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean, and Great Britain stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, stood there with one week's food supply facing her -- and after that, starvation.
Not true at all. British were reduced to rations, but thsoe were higher than the Germans had. It was Germany that was straving. In fact, it was this starvation that later led Austrian and then the German people out of the war.
At that time, the French army had mutinied. They lost 600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme.
And German intelligence missed this completely. The French hid the mutiny.
Now Germany -- not a shot had been fired on the German soil. Not an enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany.
Freedman lacks basic knowledge here. (And your claims of using Wikipedia shows you to be a liar or incompetent.) Russian invaded East Prussia. Look up the Battle of Tannenberg Forrest and the Prussian Campaign. (I'm citing wikipedia because you claim to have used it for research of Freedman's claims. I don't need to use it, as I can work from a memory of research done 20 years ago.)
How many lies and fabrications must I show, anyway?

It was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare (January 31st 1917). Wilson severed diplomatic relations with Germany on February 3rd and asked Congress to declare war on April 2nd. They passed the declaration of war on April 4th and Wilson signed it on April 6th.
Just what was going on in most of February and into March, I don't know. I guess they had to set everything up for mobilization, and keep a close eye on what was going on in France and in Russia.
Other factors like the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram certainly did much to set the stage for the declaration of war. You could add Britain's cutting the German telegraphic cable, Germany's sinking other neutral ships, US loans to Britain, and the ancestry of Wilson and most other Americans as contributing factors.
But I suspect the basic answer is that Wilson wanted to get into the war to prevent unrestricted submarine warfare from putting Britain out of the war. Or perhaps he recognized that unrestricted submarine warfare would mean Germany's sinking many US ships and the alternatives were to 1) cease trade with Britain (unthinkable at the time) 2) put up with loss of American lives and cargo (likewise unthinkable) or 3) go to war.
But Wilson's speech is probably available online. You could google it and come to your own conclusion.
