EDL Infiltrated By Jews Say Jew With A Sneer
QUOTE
By
Julian Kossoff
An exasperated friend tells me his father, a fearsome Jewish
anti-Fascist in his day, now spouts near-the-knuckle canards about
"illegal immigrants" and "asylum seekers". This phenomenon is known
as "pulling up the ladder" – as each wave of migrants grows to feel
at home "aboard" their new country they identify evermore with the
host community, sharing in its resentment towards newcomers and not
recognising any empathetic connection with their own
historical experience.........
Indeed, these useful idiots now have a spokeswoman,
Brazilian-born Jewish activist Roberta Moore. She told
the Jewish Chronicle that that the Jewish division has around
100 members, "most of whom are Jewish"........
Worse still, on October 24 the EDL plan to hold a "solidarity
demonstration" outside the Israeli embassy. The Israeli diplomats
are horrified. Adding to the cringe factor, they
have rustled-up a rabbi to embellish the cynical ploy aimed at
cultivating hatred between Jews and Muslims. Not surprisingly, Rabbi
Nachum Shifren, an ex-lifeguard known as "the surfing rabbi" and
a long-shot Republican candidate, is a kooky Californian who's is
well known in the USA for making a fool of himself and is set to do
the same at the proposed demo.
While many in the Jewish community have understandable concerns
about the rise of Islamic fundamentalism – so often streaked through
with virulent anti-Semitism – it is important to remember that the
EDL are not our friends. They are part of the problem, not the
solution.
UNQUOTE
Kossoff
is an ugly rogue. The mug shot is arranged to hide the similarity of
his nose to Concorde's The sneers tell us about the ugly mind
behind it. Kossoff does not explain why Islamics hate them. You just
might think that Gaza Massacre I,
Gaza Massacre II, the
Deir Yassin Massacre,
Hebron Massacre
etcetera have something to do with it. Islamics have not forgotten
the thieves who robbed them of the Stolen
Land then called it Israel

English Defence
League - ex Wiki
QUOTE
The English Defence League (EDL) is a
far-right street protest movement which opposes what it sees as the spread
of Islamism,
Sharia law and
Islamic extremism in
England. The
EDL uses street-based marches against what it labels as
Muslim
extremism.
It had a couple of
offshoot organizations, the Scottish Defence League, and the now
defunct Welsh Defence League. The EDL was also the subject of a 2010
BBC documentary,
Young, British and Angry.
UNQUOTE
They are against Islamic
infiltration which is fair enough. They are heavily infiltrated by Jews which
means that are worthless. The 'far-right' claim is a lie.
98 People Out Of 100 Back English Defence League Policies [
12 February 2011 ]
QUOTE
Express Group now openly promoting the
English Defence League
The promotion which the billionaire Zionist Jew
Richard
Desmond
is giving to the English Defence League via the Express Group component of his
ever-growing media empire would seem to challenge the ‘official’ position of
the Board of Deputies of British Jews and its Community Security Trust that
Zionist-Jewry in Britain is firmly opposed to the EDL and its ‘Islamophobic’
policies. An article in Desmond’s Daily Star (“EDL
to go political“), touts the electoral prospects of the EDL and
reports results of a phone poll finding that 98% of Daily Star
readers agree with EDL policies.
Desmond has always
been a bit of a maverick. He built his fortune on pornography before selling
up to raise the capital to buy the Express Group, which includes the Daily
Express, the Sunday Express and the Daily Star. Last
year he bought Channel 5 TV. Recently he withdrew his publications from the
Press Complaints Commission, to which all major national and small local
newspaper groups belong.
But his backing of the EDL should not be seen a genuine
split within the Jewry.
Throughout history, wherever they have settled, the Jews
have not been bothered by the concept of a principled, unified and consistent
approach to any issue — except one: the survival and advancement of the Jews.
In all other matters they are entirely morally pragmatic and often
deliberately contradictory.
Thus it is that they want to promote immigration and
race-mixing among non-Jews in Britain — and indeed among all White
European peoples and nations — but also want to make Britain an uncomfortable
place for Muslims, except those who are willing both to accommodate themselves
to the Jewish domination of Britain’s ‘Establishment’ and abandon the
Palestinians to Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing.
So they operate a ‘Good Cop, Bad Cop’ routine which confuses
the Goyim, be they indigenous Anglo-Saxon-Celtic British, or any one of
several hundred varieties of ethnic aliens who have been encouraged (by the
Jews) to invade and settle in our homeland since WW2...........
A week before that rally the EDL held an anti-Muslim rally
in Leicester and the “anti-fascist” rabble led by Searchlight
mobilized against it. For some reason Searchlight did not mobilize
its supporters against the EDL’s pro-Zionist, pro-Jewish rally outside the
Israeli Embassy. I e-mailed Searchlight via its web site to ask why.
Guess what? I didn’t get a reply!
UNQUOTE
Martin Webster is a veteran nationalist who
he understands the Jews.
Richard
Desmond is a foul mouthed oaf, pornographer and Jew.
Searchlight is run by criminal Jews specializing
in Libel. If the
English Defence
League are prone to demonstrate in
favour of Jews they are crazy mixed up kids. This may be preferable to a
British National
Party run by swindlers.
Meet The New Face Of English Extremism
Murdoch does not approve of the League.
Murdoch is an enemy of England running a Culture
War against us. He is an unrepentant Zionist to boot.
The English
Defense League
A group of extremist Islamists
attacked the returning soldiers as "butchers of Basra," "baby killers,"
and "terrorists" during a homecoming parade not long ago in the city of
Luton. With years of
anti-British "political correctness," and a political class that has failed to
tackle Islamism with seriousness, this proved to be too much: the crowd that
had turned out to cheer on the soldiers was soon making their disgust known to
the Islamists; the two groups had to be held apart by police.............
A short time later, the English Defense League [EDL] emerged
from the United People of Luton, and, in a little over the year since its
founding, has become the largest street protest movement in Britain...........
As Natan Sharansky has described in
Defending Identity: Its Indispensable Role in Protecting Democracy,
multiculturalism has allowed the politically radical to use those identities
which they deem "progressive" and "anti-colonial" to destroy the majority
culture, which they view as "reactionary" and "colonial." [ So destroying
civilization is all right when Jews are at it? - Editor ] For the radical
Left, the media and political class, Englishness is firmly "reactionary" and
"colonial." To defend national values is taboo, if not regarded as outright
"extremism." To extend liberty to everyone is,
we are told, "human rights imperialism."
UNQUOTE
The New York Times is owned by Jews, run by Jews, as a propaganda machine for
Jews. This means they are part of the
Culture War being waged against
us. They are part of the not so Invisible Enemy
who hate England, who hate
Christendom. They brought us the
Bolshevik Revolution
in 1917. They use the techniques developed by
Antonio Gramsci, the leading theoretician of
the communist party in Italy. Using Feminism,
inciting to
Homosexuality,
marketing the Holocaust® story, it
made them billions.
They call themselves
God's Chosen People
and brought us the Gaza Massacre
The English Defence League is what the name says. It is not a
political party at the moment. In fact it may never be one. It has succeeded in
getting hated by the
BBC and other
communist subversives; very much a point in its favour. The police have done
their alleged duty by harassing them.
But things are worse. The Jews are infiltrating the EDL,
financing the EDL in order to muzzle it. For that part of the story read on.

Subject: Unmasked: wealthy backers behind
far-right league
http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/ [£]
The Sunday Times – Sunday 11th December 2011
Unmasked: wealthy backers behind far-right league:
A
City investor and a property tycoon are trying to turn the
English Defence League from a rabble into a political force
by Dipesh Gadher; Robin Henry; Mark Lewis
A PROPERTY tycoon and a City based financier quizzed by police over his links to
the gunman who slaughtered 69 people in Norway are exposed today as key figures
behind the rise of the far-right English Defence League (EDL).
A Sunday
Times investigation has revealed that
Ann Marchini, a mother from Highgate, north London, and Alan Ayling, a former
director of an investment fund, have sought to mould the thuggish anti-Muslim
group into a credible political force.
They are both linked to the murky world of the online "counter-jihad" movement
from which Anders Behring Breivik drew ideological inspiration before committing
his massacre in Norway in July. They have remained in the shadows until now by
using aliases on the internet to mask their true identities.
Breivik repeatedly mentioned the EDL in his 1,600-page "manifesto" and once
belonged to an Oslo-based offshoot called the Norwegian Defence League.
The EDL, whose support has mushroomed since it was formed in Luton in 2009, has
organized a string of protests against what it perceives as the growing "Islamisation"
of Britain.
Many have descended into violence perpetrated by a hard core of football
hooligans.
However, the "brains" behind the group ˜ which plans to field candidates at the
next council elections ˜ come from a different background.
Marchini, who is thought to be in her fifties, runs a buy to-let property empire
from her £1.6m mock-Tudor home in Highgate, a leafy suburb usually associated
with liberals. Marchini, who is believed to be divorced from an Italian banker,
operates under at least two aliases: "Gaia", the Earth goddess from Greek
mythology, and "Dominique Devaux".
She is said to have helped organize a "pivotal" meeting between EDL figures and
antijihad thinkers in July 2009 and recently attended a discussion where the EDL
agreed to consider an electoral pact with the right-wing British Freedom party (BFP).
A report by Gaia on the BFP website states that Stephen Lennon, the EDL leader,
"explained that the EDL need to move up a notch ˜ they cannot go on forever
staging street demos. They are still widely perceived as a rabble, and as such
cannot possibly obtain funding or be taken seriously by the political class".
Marchini was photographed alongside Lennon, 28, at a far right demonstration this
year and the image was posted on the website of Hope Not Hate, an anti-fascist
group. Her name and address also appeared on a leaked list of EDL donors.
The 2009 EDL meeting took place at the £500,000 flat of Ayling in the Barbican
in central London. Lennon attended with two relatives from Luton.
Paul Ray, who claims to be a founder of the EDL, was also there. He says he
travelled to the venue from Highgate with Marchini, whom he knew at the time as
"Ann", "Gaia" or "Dominique". He says he had previously stayed for "a few
months" at one of her rental flats on British Street in Bow, east London.
Ray regards the Barbican meeting as "pivotal". "It was the key people being
brought together," he said. "It was bringing together the ideological and
political side with the boots on the ground."
Two days after the meeting, Ray received an email from "Dominique Devaux", using
the account "gaia2600@hotmail.com".
"Still very interested in helping EDF [sic] grow as a movement," it stated. It
was signed off by "Ann".
Another email, seen by The Sunday Times,
gives a mobile number used by Marchini for letting her properties.
Ayling, 57, has been operating under the alias "Alan Lake". He is an IT expert
and was a director of Pacific Capital Investment Management until January this
year. The fund was dissolved in August.
Last month Ayling was interviewed by officers from Scotland Yard at the behest
of Norwegian police who were investigating whether he was a possible "mentor" of
Breivik.
Paal-Fredrik Kraby, an Oslo police prosecutor, confirmed that "the man known as
Alan Lake" had been questioned. "But his real name is not for us to give to the
press," he said.
In an interview with a Norwegian newspaper nine days ago, Lake denied having any
contact with Breivik. However, he admitted to having met a prolific anti-Islam
blogger called "Fjordman". "People ought to read him, he is good," Lake said.
Breivik named Fjordman 111 times in his manifesto.
In the same interview, Lake said Breivik was "wrong", but added the following
about Norway's immigration policies: "You let in dangerous people who do not
share your values, who will destroy your society and take your freedom. You will
have to pay the price for that."
When shown a photograph of Lake last week, two separate sources at the Barbican
confirmed that the man in the picture was Ayling. A man inside his flat denied
he was Ayling when contacted over the intercom and refused to step outside.
Ayling did not respond to a written list of questions.
Norwegian police say Lake was interviewed in London as a "witness". They have
also spoken at length to Ray, 35, who voluntarily flew to Oslo to try to clear
his name after speculation that he could have unwittingly inspired Breivik.
The Norwegian gunman, 32, who has been declared insane by psychiatrists, claimed
in his manifesto that he once had an English mentor called "Richard (the
Lionhearted)". Ray, a born again Christian who subsequently fell out with the EDL,
runs a blog called Lionheart.
When The Sunday Times
first approached Marchini about her EDL links on November 30, she slammed the
door shut on a reporter. Last week, she and her son, Paolo, hung up at least
three times when contacted by telephone.
On Friday, a lawyer for Marchini said: "Ann Marchini does not operate under the
alias of either Dominique Devaux or Gaia. She is a member of British Freedom,
but joined only to show support for her personal friend Paul Weston [the
chairman]."
Two names on Dominique Devaux's list of Facebook friends ˜ Paolo and Bianca
Marchini ˜ disappeared on the same day.
Weston, a former UK Independence party candidate, said he could not recall
befriending Devaux on Facebook. He described Breivik as "a psychopathic
lunatic".
Lennon admitted knowing Marchini under the Devaux alias, but denied she was
influential. He said Lake was a "nut job" and had not been involved with the EDL
"for ages". Lennon, a former member of the British National party, denied the
EDL was racist and said Breivik was "a monster".

Morning Star - Sunday 11th December 2011
Rich and powerful feeding far right
by John Millington
The far-right English Defence League
showed itself to be boot boys for the rich and powerful today after revelations
that wealthy backers are bankrolling the organization.
The extremist group, which has been cited by Norwegian mass murderer Anders
Behring Breivik as an inspiration and has links with anti-Islamic groups abroad,
pretends to be a grass-roots community organization - but it has been funded by
millionaire Ann Marchini and former investment fund director Alan Ayling.
The aim of the pair was to influence and help shape the organization to make it
appear more credible in the political arena.
Ms Marchini operates a buy-to-let empire in Highgate, London, and is believed to
operate under a pseudonym - although her lawyers deny this.
She is a member of the far-right British Freedom Party and friend of chairman
Paul Weston.
The EDL is looking to stand in elections in the near future and Ms Marchini is
believed to have been trying to foster closer links between the two
organizations.
Mr. Ayling, who has been operating under the name Alan Lake, used to be director
of Pacific Capital investment and is an IT expert.
He was questioned last year by Scotland Yard detectives into possible links he
had to Breivik.
Mr. Ayling denied any such links and said he believed the brutal massacre to be
"wrong."
He said on Norwegian immigration policy: "You let dangerous people who will not
share your values, who will destroy your society and take your freedom. You will
have to pay the price for that."
Former UK Independence Party candidate Mr. Weston tried to distance himself from
the situation, describing Mr. Breivik as "a psychopathic lunatic."
Speaking to the Morning Star about the story which first appeared in the Sunday
Times, Hope Not Hate spokesman Matthew Collins pointed out that the EDL has
established links with the anti-Islamic "global crusader movement."
"Alan Lake has become less important, in terms of a global crusader movement,"
said Mr. Collins.
"The EDL has now jumped into bed with Paul Weston - quite a wealthy man."
Mr. Collins said he was not worried about the EDL standing in elections as it
would "poll very badly" and had less than 1,000 members - well down on the
group's own official estimates.
But he said fascists and the far right in Britain had changed their focus in
recent years.
"It's not about Nazis and hating Jews," he said.
"It is about extremist Christian identity political types who see themselves as
crusaders against Islam.
"With this unpleasant English nationalism - the EDL, English Democrats and the
British Freedom Party - chuck in this evangelical hatred of Islam and it makes
it difficult for traditional anti-fascists to deal with."

---------------------------------------------------------------
Life and career
Michael Coren (born January 15,
1959) is an English-Canadian columnist,
author, public speaker,
radio host and television talk show host. He
hosted the television talk show The Michael Coren Show
on the Crossroads Television System from
1999 to 2011 when he moved to the Sun News Network
to host an evening talk show, The Arena.[1]
He has also been a long-time radio personality, particularly on
CFRB radio.
He has written more than ten books, including biographies of
G.K. Chesterton, H.
G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, and
C. S. Lewis. His latest book, Why Catholics
are Right, was published in 2011
Coren was born in Essex,
England. After obtaining a degree in
politics from Nottingham University, he
moved from the UK to Canada in 1987. For several years, he was a columnist for
Frank and then The
Globe and Mail, before he began syndicated columns for the
Financial Post and
Sun Media in 1995. Following his departure from Frank, he became a
favourite target of that publication, culminating in a spoof ad contest to
"deflower" Michael Coren (a nod to Frank's notorious "Deflower
Caroline Mulroney" contest, and a satirical
jab at Coren's conservative leanings.) Coren had also been a favorite target of
Frank back in the days before he began writing for them. Coren took exception to
being labelled a "literary prostitute" during a 1994 interview.[2]
His career as a broadcaster began in the early 1990s when he co-hosted a
political debate segment with Irshad Manji
on TV Ontario's
Studio 2. In 1995, he began an evening talk show on
CFRB. In 1999, Coren briefly moved to
Talk 640 for a short stint as its
morning man. He returned to CFRB, where he
hosted a show from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. weekday nights, and regularly filled in for
other hosts until November 2005. Coren was dismissed by CFRB as a result of
complaints arising from comments ridiculing the weight of an apparent guest. In
fact, the guest was an actor and the segment was scripted. According to CFRB's
Operations Manager, Steve Kowch, "Pat Holiday, our general manager and myself
went through the tape of Monday night's show and were shocked....it was totally
out of bounds." Coren argues that it was a satire comparing in his mind public
attitude to third world starvation with North America's obsession with slimming
and self-indulgence. After moving to North America Coren gained one hundred
pounds.[2]
Despite this acrimonious termination, Coren made regular talk show appearances
on CFRB in July 2006, at the start of the 2006
Israel-Lebanon conflict, as he happened to be in Israel at the time.
After receiving 60% approval from CFRB listeners in an August 2006 poll, Coren
returned to the CFRB airwaves in September 2006 with a Sunday evening show.[3]
As of the 22nd of April 2007, the show expanded from its usual 1 hour 7-8pm to
7-9 pm.[4] Coren celebrated by giving away
double the prizes usually given out. In the fall of 2007 he and former
Liberal Party of Canada president
Stephen LeDrew launched a daily hour-long
afternoon show on CFRB called Two Bald Guys With Strong Opinions in which the
two argue about the issues of the day.[5]
After the departure of LeDrew, Coren was joined by
Tarek Fatah after several on air auditions by potential replacement
co-hosts. Coren was again let go by CFRB along with 12 other staff of the
Toronto radio station on 27 August 2009.[6]
On television, Coren hosted the Michael Coren Show on the
Crossroads Television System until June 2011 when he left to join
the Sun News Network where he hosts The
Arena weeknights on beginning August 30, 2011. Coren also has a newspaper column
published every Saturday in the Sun newspaper chain. He has been a columnist for
the Western Standard, Catholic Insight and
The Women's Post and has contributed to National Post,
Reader's Digest and several other
publications. A self-professed Tottenham Hotspur
fan, he has appeared as a guest host on The Score's
The Footy Show. Coren is also a public speaker, particularly at religious
gatherings.
Political
controversies
In his earlier, satirical Aesthete
column in Frank magazine Coren was by his own admission deliberately
provocative. In response to a 1994 interview question about
AIDS he responded:
"Look, people are dying all over. When it was blacks in Africa dying of AIDS, no
one gave a toss. Nobody gave a toss. Suddenly, it's middleclass men in
California and everyone goes crazy about it. It's a double standard. I'm trying
to provoke people into rethinking comfortable points of view."[2]
In September 2006, Coren published an article in the
Toronto Sun, supporting the use of tactical nuclear strikes against
Iran.[7] This position was later retracted.[8]
On the subject of AIDS Michael Coren wrote a column in 2006 titled "Why
is AIDS so special?" in which he said "At its most simple, stop fornicating."
"AIDS in the West is still overwhelmingly a threat to male homosexuals and
intravenous drug users."[9]
In an article which appeared in Sun Media in 2007, Coren said "As for Jesus not
condemning homosexuality, nor did He condemn bestiality and necrophilia."[10]
In early 2001 Coren was under scrutiny from many
federal authorities, he seemed to be if not the leader, one of the leaders of a
illegal homosexually oriented nightclub. The reason why it received so much
press was due to the fact that the club featured:
1. Bear baiting (illegal throughout Canada),
2. Un-restricted underage gambling, and finally
3. a presence of Black Tar Heroin [1]
was detected in the establishment.
Although due to Coren's legal team he only served 5 years on his sentence, he
was on house arrest for a year after in which he started his journalism career.
[Emphasis & colour added by
me. - MW]
[edit]
Religious Views
His articles and speeches often
include stories of his own personal spiritual journey.
Coren's father was
Jewish as was his maternal
grandfather, while his maternal grandmother came from a family of
Welsh coalminers and
converted to Judaism.
Coren's father and uncle were cab drivers. Coren has said that his father's
family left Poland
a few decades before the Holocaust.[11]
He has also said that his father's family emigrated from
Poland in the 1890s.[12]
He said "People have called me an anti-Semite.
I thought it quite rich since my father's family was massacred in the
Holocaust".[2] Michael Coren was
profiled on Credo,
on Vision TV,
and said that his father told him he could not attend his son's wedding in a
Catholic Church
without becoming "physically sick".
[Emphasis & colour added by me.
Blue text are hyperlinks when
on-line at Wikipedia web site - MW]
He converted to Roman Catholicism in his
early twenties while still living in England,
but that didn't last long. He said that he "converted to an institution." He
eventually converted to Evangelical
Christianity in the 1990s, after a conversion
experience as an adult, greatly influenced by Canadian
televangelist
Terry Winter.
[‘Winter’? Another
name popular with ‘integrated’ Jews - MW]
In 1991 Michael Coren said in a column for a humour magazine: "The
evangelical Christians may be intolerant,
small-minded, and repellent, but at least they hold a consistent set of
beliefs".[2]
[Yes! They tend to support Israel as “Christian
Zionists!” - MW]
In a 1993 book review he said "Can anyone imagine a detective priest?
Regrettably, it is easier to conjure up the image of a priest being questioned
by secular detectives over abuse charges." Also in 1993, Michael Coren had a
falling out with the Catholic Church over an
unflattering profile he wrote of Archbishop Aloysius
Ambrozic for Toronto Life
magazine. The Bishop, who made Coren a "Knight of the
Holy Sepulchre" in a ceremony in October 1992, was quoted using words
including "friggin" and "bitch", and said that
Francisco Franco was a "conservative Roman
Catholic and not a bad fellow". Coren defended himself, saying "He's
an archbishop and he was vulgar...obviously what thousands of
Roman Catholics expected me to do was lie. I
still get hate mail about the article."
After this incident, Coren said that he didn't consider himself a
Roman Catholic anymore. He said "My wife is
Catholic and the children will be raised Catholic, but that's it. It's just not
there for me." Daniel Richler observed that
Coren loves scandal, but hates having it come his way. In one of his columns for
the satirical humour magazine Frank, Michael
Coren depicted Mother Teresa getting drunk
in a bar.[2]
In early 2004, he embraced Catholicism again. He cites St.
Thomas More, C. S. Lewis,
Ronald Knox and his godfather
Lord Longford as spiritual influences, and
remains connected to the ecumenical scene in Canada and beyond.

Toronto Sun - Tuesday 28th June 2011
Michael Coren to
deliver 'straight talk'
Talk show star
to join Sun News Network prime-time lineup
by QMI Agency
Sun News Network is proud to
announce Michael Coren -- renowned author, commentator and broadcaster -- will
host a new show in prime time called Coren Tonight.
"Coren is not afflicted by the politically correct self-censorship that plagues
most commentators. He is perfect for Sun News," said Sun News spokesman Luc
Lavoie.
The show will be debuting in August at 7:00 p.m. ET on weeknights and repeated
later in the evenings.
For the past 12 years, Coren has hosted The Michael Coren Show on CTS, a
Canadian Christian TV station. His weekly column appears in Sun newspapers and
he has written for the Catholic Register, the Women's Post, the Landowner and
the Interim.
He is the bestselling author of 13 books, including biographies of writers G.K.
Chesterton, H.G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
His most recent book, Why Catholics Are Right, has been a Canadian bestseller
for 11 weeks and has gone into its third printing.
"Whether it is taking on radical Islam or exposing political hypocrisy, Michael
Coren has proven to be one of the most fearless, substantive commentators in
Canada," said Sun News vice-president Kory Teneycke. "Michael has strong
opinions, but he is also fair. He loves to debate his opponents and challenge
conventional thinking."
