Anti-Neocon Report
ADL still trying to pardon Leo Frank

Many of you know that a B'nai B'rith organization gave birth to the ADL while defending its Atlanta chapter president Leo Frank. Frank raped and murdered a 13 year old girl who he was also employing along with many other teens, against child labor laws. Leo Frank ran a pencil factory sweatshop and often flirted with his illegal underage employees. The ADL was formed to defend him when he murdered and raped Mary Phagan. The details were disgusting. Her underwear was ripped and bloody and she was strangled to death with a wire. Her head had also been pummeled with a pipe. She went to get her paycheck of a meager $1.20 and never returned home. She was raped and murdered and then her body was dragged to the basement. Police found strands of her hair and blood on the floor above right across from Frank's office. Frank nervously revealed the victims name in front of police before they had given him any such details. The ADL was going to get him released based purely on the fact that He was Jewish and a high profile crime made Jews look bad. Arguably a Jewish organization trying to get a child murderer off the hook, makes Jews look worse. They would like one to believe that he was innocent with fake news history and will tell you so on Wikipedia which has Israelis paid to edit it. Leo admitted on the witness stand to the jury that he was “unconsciously” at the scene of the crime when the murder occurred. What we don't know, is if he raped her before or after killing her. The grand jury voted 21 – 0 for indicting him. Four of those jurors were Jewish. That shouldn't matter, but it does because later the ADL would try to argue that the jury wrongly convicted him because of antisemitism rather than because all the evidence showed that he did it in everyone's eyes. He was convicted. After the Judge, Leonard Roan, rejected all the appeals, he ordered Leo to be hanged on his birthday April 17, 1913. However Frank who was unanimously elected president of the B'nai Brith Chapter again even after being convicted of rape and murder had one last method to weasel out. He with Jewish pressure groups, appealed to the Governor. The lame-duck governor, John M. Slaton, in a very Clinton-esk move, commuted Leo's sentence his last week in office. He changed it from the death penalty to life in prison.Frank was knifed in prison by an inmate who took justice into their own hands. William Creen used a butcher knife and cut Leo's throat severely injuring him. On August 16th a mob broke into the prison captured Leo Frank and took him 2 miles away and hanged him. Although they took photographs no one in town would identify them. Of course the ADL twisted the story to say that these men were motivated by antisemitism and not that they hated him for raping and murdering a child. To see Southern Justice click hereThe ADL would fight to have him given a posthumous pardon which he got in 1986. Fred Grimm of the Miami Herald said in response to the pardon, “A salve for one of the South's most hateful, festering memories, was finally applied” showing his own prejudice towards the South rather than admitting a well known exploiter of child labor, who raped and killed a young girl and was unanimously convicted for the crime and sentenced to death was killed even after weaseling a pardon by an outgoing governor. Fred Grimm is constantly chasing down and doing stories about “Neo-Confederates” and “Neo-Nazis” as if either one are some huge bane and influence in modern society. Ironically it is groups like Antifa who act like ISIS tearing down American Statues and assaulting people. Despite having entire cities burned civilian homes and all by Lincoln's terrorists, not once in 150 years has a Southerner attacked a Union monument. Yelling racism at everything is fun though because it exercises safe moral indignation. That the US recently invaded Libya and have caused a country to be run by Al Qaeda terrorists who have revived the institution of slavery, selling humans for $400 in the market, doesn't seem to bother these same people so much as statues of Confederate generals. Apparently the Union military generals like Custer who rode west and committed genocide on Native Americans immediately following the Civil War, or enslaving the Chinese to build railroads, doesn't count as racism either.The ADL itself was created with Jewish mafia money. With connections to Meyer Lansky, Moe Dalitz, Bugsy Siegal, and illegal arms trafficker Hank Greenspun. The ADL gave Jewish gangster Moe Dalitz the Torch of Liberty Award. Dalitz was partnered with Galvastan's Sam Marceo and his brother Rosario of international narcotic trafficking fame. Dalitz and Sam began with a bootlegging gig. And it was the Maceo brothers who with Dalitz financed the Desert Inn Casio (where Frank Sinatra got his first Vegas gig). Interesting note, Sam's sister Olivia married Joseph Fertitta. You probably know the famous former owners of the UFC Frank III and Lorenzo Fertitta. They're all “family”. Maceo died only a year after purchasing the casino and it quickly went into the Fertitta side of the family. Dalitz not only did business with Maceo, he ran with the Mayfield Road gang in Ohio who had a branch dubbed the Collinwood Crew nicknamed the Young Turks. This is a very fitting name considering that the ADL denies the Armenian genocide. They even fired a New England Director Andrew H. Tarsy because he broke rank and called it a genocide. See killing 1,500,000 people isn't genocide because nothing is allowed to compete with the Holocaust victimhood.Moe Dalitz at Desert InnDalitz was an early business partner with Abe Berstien of the murderous Purple Gang. They used to murder motorists for sport. That didn't bother the ADL. In 1985 they gave Moe an award. Moe would become the Mob Boss of Cleveland, even tough most of his operations would move and center on Vegas. His businesses however were all over the United States. Dalitz was not only a close confidant of Meyer Lansky, the two co-owned the Frolic Club in Miami. (p.6)The Desert Inn casino also took investments from convicted illegal arms smuggler Hank Greenspun, who was not only invested but became the publicist as well. He owned the Las Vegas Sun and pulled a money laundering scheme with advertising that was similar to what Boris Berezovsky repeated in Russia. Prior to that, he had been the publicist for another Mafia Casino, the Flamingo, which was run by Lanksy's childhood friend and murderer Bugsy Siegal. Greenspun's wife was given top honors by the ADL. Her husband attempted to smuggle 42 Pratt and Whitney R2800 LOW airplane engines to Palestine when the Haganah terrorist group was creating the state of Israel through ethnic cleansing.After jury tampering, with the sole Jewish Juror meeting with the defense, Greenspun and two of his cohorts William Sosnow, and Samuel Lewis were acquitted, but his other partners Adolph Schwimmer, Leon Gardner, Renoyld Selk, and Abraham Levin, were convicted.But Greenspun would be found guilty of smuggling the machine guns that would go with the planes as well as artillery and ammo. He stole 30 and 50 cal machine guns from Hawaii and shipped them to the Haganah in Palestine through Mexico. When he was indicted Greenspun tried to bribe his way out. He offered $25,000 to Seth Solomon Pope “or anyone else designated by Pope” to “quash” a second Neutrality Act indictment against him. Solomon worked in Hawaii at the War Assets Administration, in charge of decommissioning and selling off WWII surplus. He was most likely the original contact for the smuggling. The man was investigated three time for fraudulent sales. They also stole over 500 machine gun barrels. Reportedly Hank took an addition 10% Kickback from arms sales he made. A Grand Jury in Los Angeles indicted Hank and six other of violating the Neutrality Act and Export Control Law, Title 50 United States Code section 701 and Title 22 United Stated Code, section 452. However he got only a 10k fine and no jail time. Greenspun was paid through the SSE. The SSE was a front for the AJDC's Lishka which financed communist and Bricha illegal immigration. The Jewish Agency which was the government in waiting that organized the terrorist groups that formed Israel, facilitated the cash flow to gun runners like Hank. In “Concealed in the Open: Recipients of International Clandestine Jewish Aid in Early 1950s Hungary” Zachary Paul Levine, of Yeshiva University Museum writes.“The JDC-Israeli collaboration that formed around clandestine emigration to Israel and welfare to migrants filled the vacuum with the creation of two institutions. The first was created in 1952 by the Israeli government's Liaison Bureau of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Lishka by its Hebrew acronym, which collected information and administered individual aid. The second was created in Switzerland in 1953. Known as the Society for Mutual Aid (SSE by its French acronym), this organization directed AJDC funds to the Lishka and represented Jewish aid providers' interests to communist governments” …”However, as an American organization at the height of the McCarthy “Red Scare,” AJDC administrators could hardly justify the appearance of sending cash or material into a state with which the U.S. was technically engaged in “economic warfare.” In March 1953, the AJDC and Lishka together established the SSE, a “paper organization” that “covered” the AJDC-Israeli partnership, and provided a means for regularized AJDC funding for Lishka from the Joint's Relief-in-Transit budget that funded activities that might have contravened U.S. law (Beizer 2009: 117). The SSE's Swiss chairman, Erwin Haymann, had years of experience channeling money from the U.S. for Bricha and other clandestine activities. Funds traveled through the SSE and on to Lishka agents who received U.S. dollars or another western currency and exchanged them into Hungarian forints on the black market in Vienna. Subsequently, these forints traveled via diplomatic pouch or in the suitcase of an apparent traveler to the legation in Budapest, whose staff distributed the cash around the country.”We learned from declassified FBI documents that Erwin Haymann, the same man aiding communist on behalf of the JA is who made three transfers of 1.3 million dollars to Greenspun. Greenspun would later become the Western Director of bonds for Israel. Haymann sent the payments to Banco del Ahorro, Mexico by cable.Interesting, because 1.3 million is exactly how much Moe Dalitz sank into the Desert Inn Casino, which Greenspun was a publicist for and invested in, what a coincidence. If you are into Kennedy Research here is a cookie for you. Hungarian Jew Tibor Rosenbaum is the bridge between Meyer Lansky, Erwin Haymann, and heavy Florida-Cuba crime syndicate. …But I will leave that tangent alone. Greespun was known for having blackmail on political candidates, Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy even plotted to raid on the Vegas Sun vault in order to gain access to blackmail that Hank had on Howard Hughes. Hughes by the way bought Mafia properties like the Desert Inn Casino using millions in cash. They credit him with cleaning Vegas up from the mob, it was more like the mob took him to the cleaners. Dalitz ironically started out with a cash only dry cleaning business.Kennedy whose father was involved with the Outfit and the East Coast mob and who had a love affair with his friend Frank Sinatra's ex-girlfriend Judith Exner while she was also involved with Chicago mob boss Sam Giacanna. Sinatra introduced her to JFK. Kennedy gave Greenspun a pardon his first year in office. I wonder why. LBJ likewise was sleeping with Mathilde Krim who was also part of the Swiss connection who help Irgun terrorist. Johnson did all this while she was married to his campaign advisor Athur Krim, a willing cuck. It makes you rethink Monica Lewinsky doesn't it. Well Clinton did give Jewish Billionaire Marc Rich a pardon, after Rich donated $100,000 to the ADL. Rich was yet another crook in the Swiss connection.These are the founders and reward recipients of the ADL. The ADL was given defacto powers of an intelligence agency in the United State and it gathers intel on who it pleases. It is anything but an Anti-Defamation League. They defame people themselves. The ADL under the cover of fighting Anti-Semitism, simply uses this cry as a club to chase down and censor anyone critical of Zionism or the Israeli state. If you point out that Israeli snipers are shooting children in Palestine from across the border, then the ADL can get you removed. Vimeo stole $5,000 in profits from me and erased six years worth of my work because of my criticism of Israel. When the ADL partnered with YouTube December of 2008, my channel was gone the first day, and over a thousand videos were erased. No justification was needed, simply the accusation of antisemitism. When I made a complaint in my appeal I learned that the ADL would oversee the case. Of course I never had my channel restored nor was I even given an explanation from YouTube. Another wing of the ADL is the SPLC and they too have been granted censorship powers across social media. The ADL used the SPLC as both an attack dog and a buffer to separate itself from ramifications of its constant chicken little censorship. In the rare case of actual antisemitic groups online or otherwise the ADL has been busted reacting to its own creations as the “Nazis” they screech about turn out to be their own provocateurs.Birthed to defend a murdering child rapist, financed by mass murdering terrorists and organized crime, narcotic peddling, gun running, psychopaths formed the pro Zionist organizational bully called the ADL. They have been caught spying through American police departments, spying on American citizens, and even coaching American police on what they should be on the look out for and how Hate Crime means anything Israel doesn't like. And this is their great online weapon. The Zog Media already refuses to report on what Israel is doing to Palestine, the Israeli role in orchestrating the Iraq War, and the Proxy War on Syria. People have been giving the information online. Naturally the ADL has been censoring such journalist all while screaming antisemitism. AIPAC bribes congress and the ADL censors the media. It is a one two punch to protect criminal Zionists interest. And now you know its criminal origins. This is a public episode.

The Rockets (41-41) finished 2023-24 at .500, and their 19-win jump from last season was the largest of any NBA team and the second-biggest annual increase in franchise history. Houston is just the fifth team in the last 30 years to follow up a 60-loss season with a non-losing campaign.Given those clear signs of progress, owner Tilman Fertitta recently rewarded GM Rafael Stone and assistant GM Eli Witus with contract extensions.With that in mind, Friday's episode explains many of the factors pushing Fertitta in that direction. Other topics include offseason tidbits gleaned from Stone's end-of-season press conference, as well as a preliminary look at storylines from the 2024 playoffs that could impact Houston.

This week I'm very happy to welcome back Generation Z entrepreneur, innovator, speaker and author Casey Adams to The Alden Report. It's been almost five years since I've had him on the show and I must say that he has been living up to his incredible reputation over that time. Already a successful entrepreneur at the age of 16, since we last spoke, he has received his first million dollar seed round for his newest business venture, has written a book, started a successful podcast and traveled all over the United States all the while sitting down with high level entrepreneurs, executives, and musicians. Throughout the process, Casey has become one of the most connected Generation Z figures.As a quick background recap, Casey suffered a frightening spinal injury in his sophomore year of high school and learned he may never be able to play contact sports again. As a result, he became angry and depressed. However, at his lowest point he discovered some of the most prominent digital marketing mentors such as Tai Lopez who went on to change his life. Getting into personal development led him into many different industries and overall allowed him to find his purpose. Since then, he has become a #1 New Release Author for his book "Rise of The Young," as well as started his own Snapchat Marketing course to teach people how he was able to monetize Snapchat. He has been featured on Forbes, ABC Channel 8 News and The Huffington Post, among many others. As the host of the business podcast also called "Rise of The Young," Casey has interviewed world class individuals such as the broadcasting legend Larry King, the owner of the Houston Rockets Tilman J. Fertitta, Billionaire founder of Shutterstock Jon Oringer, record executive Rick Ross, author Robert Greene, former Federal Bureau of Investigation hostage negotiator Christopher Voss, among many other notable figures. We also discuss his newest business venture Media Kits which provides a simple and easy to use platform for influencers, blogger and musicians to create a custom media kit online with real-time data and analytics.  Thank you so much to Casey for coming back to join us this week on The Alden Report.For more information on Casey Adams, you can visit: https://www.caseyadams.com/ and check out his company at https://www.mediakits.com/ and on Instagram @mediakits    Thank you to this episode's sponsor: Front Row Benefits Getting any health insurance with optimal coverage at the right price requests an experienced agent.

Quick note, I've posted in the podcast section an episode of Feeding the Dragon. This is a US-China news podcast that I host with Chris Fenton. You can get it on iTunes or Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have we jumped the shark with China?When you talk to anyone who is an expert on China, they usually lead off with, "it's complicated." That is true enough, but sometimes we make it harder than it has to be. As for me, I am very much in favor of anyone who wants to do business with/in China, or anyone else for that matter. The problem is the hypocrisy that we see surrounding the issue. Per Bloomberg:Disney, the world's largest entertainment company, said Tuesday that it wouldn't make contributions in 2021 to lawmakers who voted to reject the certification of the Electoral College votes."The insurrection at our nation's Capitol was a direct assault on one of our country's most revered tenets: the peaceful transition of power," Disney said in a statement. "In the immediate aftermath of that appalling siege, members of Congress had an opportunity to unite -- an opportunity that some sadly refused to embrace."Walmart, the biggest retail chain, took a similar stance in its statement."We examine and adjust our political giving strategy at the end of every election cycle, and that review will continue over the coming months," the company said. "However, in light of last week's attack on the US Capitol, Walmart's political action committee is indefinitely suspending contributions to those members of Congress who voted against the lawful certification of state Electoral College votes."Disney, who was in some recent troubles over their movie Mulan, isn't able to see why this might sound odd to the average folk like you and me. On one hand, you are talking about integrity, and yet you just faced criticism for thanking, "a government security agency in Xinjiang province, where about 1m people - mostly Muslim Uighurs - are thought to be detained." Furthermore, as Chris Fenton has pointed out numerous times, Disney does not own 100% of their theme park in China. In fact, they own less than 50%. The majority owner is the Shanghai Shendi Group. Now, the kicker is who owns the Shanghai Shendi Group. Shanghai Shendi (Group) Co., Ltd. is a 100% state-owned, joint venture investment holding company formed by three sponsors - Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Radio, Film and Television Development Co., Ltd., and Jinjiang International Group Holding Company. Shanghai Shendi (Group) Co., Ltd. is involved in project investment, construction, and operation through two full subsidiaries: Shanghai Shendi Tourism and Resort Development Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Shendi Construction Co., Ltd. It almost reads as if the government owns a majority stake in Disney's theme park in Shanghai. I'm sure there is a good explanation for this. They aren't into doing business with folks in government who act irresponsibly. If the response to this is that Disney expects more from the US than China, fine with me - just put that out in a public statement. *holds breath*Let me tell you how that would go. 12:00: Newswire: Disney says in press release that it will continue to do business in China despite how the CCP is treating Uighurs. Disney CEO Bob Chapek said, "Look, it is a tough situtaion. We can't control what the CCP does. We are trying to provide a good product to the Chinese market. Hopefully they will stop what they are doing to the Uighurs, and back down in Hong Kong. Also, if I'm being honest, they need to leave Taiwan alone. It's a complex issue, but I think it would be the best for all parties if they let those people do their own thing. However, I can't impact any of that. In the US, what we have seen is atrocious. It feels like our democracy is eroding at the seams. Our company cannot support politicans who took part from the terrible events in D.C. on Janurary 6, 2020. We can impact that, and so we are going to focus our efforts there.12:01: Newswire - Reports out of China that Disney's Shanghai Disneyland Park is closed immediately. After Disney CEO Bob Chapek's recent comments.Okay, it might take until 12:02. Soon after Daryl Morey's tweet heard around the world, except in China, his boss pulling, Tilman Fertitta, was hanging Morey out to dry. Also, it is a bit rich that Fertitta's book is called Shut Up and Listen.This is false, and Tilman knew it. That is why he tried to do damage control within hours of Morey's now-deleted tweet. Morey, now the with 76ers, did in fact speak for the Rockets organization regularly... ya know doing interviews and stuff. Unless Fertitta was saying he agreed with the crackdown in Hong Kong. Which is exactly what he was saying - although implicitly. I'm sure if you got Fertitta alone in a room he would rail about the CCP and talk about capitalism, but when the chips are down, Fertitta showed himself to be a coward. I'm not trying to ignore the real dollars on the table for the NBA, Disney, Nike, or Fortune 500 Company here. The risks of speaking out are enormous. Losing China money is not a badge of honor. However, I'm sorry if your "tough stance" in the US rings hollow when the blowback you will get is minor to what you would get if you said the same thing in China. There is no need to jump the shark. You can either be quiet on issues or speak about them. However, when you do, just be prepared to speak on all of them that you are involved in, not just the ones where you face little repercussions. Once you jump the shark, nobody takes you seriously anymore. This is a public episode. Get access to private episodes at warroommedia.substack.com/subscribe
