Brewery Behemoth Helps Agents of Anti-Liberty Lobbying Group

  • Budweiser is financing a campaign to destroy the patriot movement in America. This Bud isn't for you or America, it's for the ADL.
By James P. Tucker Jr.

If you purchase Budweiser beer and other products of the Anheuser-Busch brewing company you are subsidizing the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith. As a consequence, you are also helping to finance the ADL's unending campaign of many years to destroy Liberty Lobby and shut down The SPOTLIGHT.

Anheuser-Busch, Brewer of Budweiser (which goes by many names) and numerous other lesser-known beers, just gave $50,000 to the Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith. So far, the brewery has contributed $1.6 million to the Israel- first groups.

These donations will help the ADL fight its longtime No. 1 target: Liberty Lobby and The SPOTLIGHT. For a week, the brewery's "government affairs" office in Washington declined to identify other contributions the firm has made.

This reporter repeatedly tried to reach Mr. Keating at the Budweiser lobbying office in Washington (202-293-9494) to inquire about Bud's relationship with the ADL. It was the subject of a criminal investigation conducted by both the FBI and the San Francisco police in 1993 into the ADL's illegal spying operations. But Keating never returned the call.

Currently, former Rep. Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.) now an attorney in private practice, is spearheading a lawsuit against the ADL on behalf of American citizens victimized by the ADL's illicit activities.

The donation to the ADL is an unlikely public-relations gesture to a small minority of beer drinkers. Statistics show that not more than 5 percent of Anheuser-Busch customers are Jews.

The ADL, in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, is an unregistered agent of the Israeli government. Its main mission is to press Israel's agenda on the U.S. Congress and promote more of your tax money to Israel.

But the ADL is also busy trying to destroy the soul of America.

America's working men who relax over a Budweiser would be surprised to learn they are helping finance countless ADL attacks on America's cherished values by their purchase.

The ADL has never found a pornographer it could not defend in court on First Amendment grounds of "free speech.' Not surprisingly, porn king Larry Flynt is also a major contributor to the ADL. Flynt is currently being lionized in a film by Oliver Stone whose previous efforts (including JFK) have been financed by Mosad-linked Israeli arms dealer Arnon Milchan.

Another ADL favorite among pornographers is Hugh Hefner whose Playboy empire glamorized and provided "mainstream" entre for pornography. The ADL once gave Hefner one of its top awards. Another recipient was Law Vegas gangster Moe Dalitz, a top-level figure in the Meyer Lansky crime syndicate.
Defending pornographers like Flynt and Hefner was hardly the intent of the Founding Fathers. But in trying to destroy The SPOTLIGHT, the ADL likes to label the populist newspaper "political pornography."

"Separation of church and state" is interpreted by the ADL as meaning "separation of Americans and God." It is untroubled by small children having access to pornographic books. But reading the New Testament in a classroom or a Christian display at Christmas distresses the ADL.

The ADL's efforts to pervert the First Amendment to ban prayer hits occasional stumbling blocks. It won a court order preventing prayer before football games at a Geogia high school. The minister was gagged but not the crowd -- spectators spontaneously said the Lord's Prayer in unison, much to the horror of ADL trouble-makers on hand.

On another occasion, Christian students spontaneously sang Christian- oriented popular songs at a school assembly n another state after the ADL tried to ban the singing of religious music there.

It was ADL agitation that prompted some school systems to redesignate Christmas and Easter vacations as "winter break' and 'spring break."

Not many Americans would drink to that.

But the ADL's attempts to exclude from "the free marketplace of ideas" those to which it objects also takes violent form.

The ADL was instrumental, through its ties to the Mossad - Israel's dreaded and bloody-handed secret police -- in setting up a multi-jurisdictional SWAT team raid on the West Coast office of liberty Lobby, publisher of The SPOTLIGHT, on March 22, 1995.

Failing in their search for incriminating materials, the hapless cops were compelled to return the files, records and other property on April 3, 1997.

Similarly, the ADL was instrumental in the seizure of the property of the Institute for Historic Review, formerly a scholarly organization in Costa Mesa, California.

The ADL's role in corrupting police to achieve violent ends was exposed in a report by the Foundation to defend the First Amendment (FDFA).

In its single-minded drive for maximum profits, Anheuser-Busch will begin test-marketing a kosher beer, probably in Ohio, according to a confidential source. If not too many customers object, Anheuser-Busch will go all kosher. Beer drinkers in the state of any other should inspect the label of their brews to see if one of the Kosher symbols appears. This symbol will cost Anheuser- Busch millions of dollars which will have to be passed down to beer drinkers.

But for Americans who want to stop subsidizing Israel, the ADL and brewery- sponsored terrorism and immorality, it is more complicated that refusing to drink Bud. Anheuser-Busch produces many brands, some of which are held out as the product of a "micro brewery" to give them a down home, mom-and-pop flavor.

So to avoid subsiding that which yo find repugnant, it is necessary to not only be aware of all variations of Budweiser, but these artificial labels as well:

Michelob, Michelop "Genuine Draft" (a blatant misnomer), American Originals, Red Wolf, Elk Mountain, Ziegenbock, Pacific Ridge Pale Ale, Natural, King Cobra Malt Liquor, Hurricane Malt Liquor and numerous special names for restaurants.

If enough Americans know how Anheuser-Busch operates, and respond properly it will be an effective way of saying "bottoms up" to Budweiser and its many names.
