Iran “Hollywoodism” Conference Partners With U.S. & International Anti-Semites, Conspiracy Theorists

Iran’s third “Hol­ly­wood­ism” con­fer­ence, cur­rently under­way in Tehran, is part­ner­ing with a num­ber of Amer­i­can and inter­na­tional anti-Semites and con­spir­acy theorists.

The con­fer­ence, part of Iran’s annual Fajr Inter­na­tional Film Fes­ti­val, includes ses­sions on how Zion­ists and their allies in the West use the film indus­try to pro­mote neg­a­tive views of Iran and pro­voke reli­gious con­flicts around the globe.

The offi­cial logo for the con­fer­ence, which fur­ther strength­ens alliances between anti-Semites and con­spir­acy the­o­rists and the Iran­ian regime, com­bines the Star of David with Masonic imagery.

Iran’s “Inter­na­tional Con­fer­ence on Hol­ly­wood­ism and Cinema”

Iran­ian Deputy Min­is­ter of Cul­ture and Islamic Guid­ance Javad Sham­agh­dari said in his open­ing state­ment at the con­fer­ence on Feb­ru­ary 2 that since before World War I, some Hol­ly­wood films “have been formed and pro­duced” from the “Zion­ist point of view, whose doc­trines and beliefs have been institutionalized.”

Sham­agh­dari also invoked the con­spir­a­to­r­ial claims that Hol­ly­wood is “prac­ti­cally in the duty of the Zion­ist and White House.”

In a sep­a­rate state­ment, the Min­is­ter of Cul­ture and Islamic Guid­ance Moham­mad Hos­seini warned the Amer­i­can peo­ple of their alliance with Zion­ism, and claimed that the “White House’s lead­ers play a main role in the artis­tic pol­icy for Hol­ly­wood.” Hos­seini also said that he believes Hol­ly­wood and the film indus­try is under a “hid­den man­age­ment that is lead­ing the eco­nomic, busi­ness, research­ing and the­o­riz­ing centers.”

A promi­nent par­tic­i­pant in the con­fer­ence is French come­dian Dieudonne M’Bala M’Bala, whose acts rou­tinely include Holo­caust denial, praise for Adolf Hitler, Nazi salutes and other anti-Semitic rhetoric.

The con­fer­ence web­site iden­ti­fies a list of “part­ners” that includes sev­eral Amer­i­can and inter­na­tional anti-Semites and anti-Israel activists and orga­ni­za­tions. The list includes:

  • Amer­i­can Free Press (AFP): A Wash­ing­ton, DC-based conspiracy-oriented anti-Semitic news­pa­per pub­lished by long-time anti-Semite Willis Carto.  He also pub­lishes The Barnes Review, a Holo­caust denial journal.
  • Amer­i­cana Pic­tures: A Tennessee-based film com­pany run by Mer­lin Miller, who ran as the 2012 pres­i­den­tial can­di­date for the Amer­i­can Third Posi­tion (recently re-named the Amer­i­can Free­dom Party), a white suprema­cist polit­i­cal party. Miller has par­tic­i­pated in pre­vi­ous Iran­ian film festivals.
  • Mike Gravel: A for­mer sen­a­tor and con­gress­man from Alaska who was a pres­i­den­tial can­di­date in 2007. Gravel has some ties to AFP. He par­tic­i­pated on a panel at the June 2003 AFP/Barnes Review con­fer­ence. In addi­tion, Gravel has ques­tioned the role of the U.S. gov­ern­ment in the 9/11 attacks.
  • Truth Jihad: A web­site and Inter­net radio show run by Kevin Bar­rett, a for­mer instruc­tor at the Uni­ver­sity of Wisconsin-Madison, and an anti-Semitic 9/11 con­spir­acy the­o­rist. He is a co-founder of Mus­lims for 9/11 Truth, which con­sists mostly of a blog that refutes the idea that any Mus­lims were behind the 9/11 attacks.  Bar­rett uses his radio show to offer a plat­form to 9/11 anti-Semitic con­spir­acy theorists.
  • James Fet­zer: One of the co-founders of Schol­ars for 9/11 Truth, an orga­ni­za­tion that is com­posed of aca­d­e­mics and oth­ers who believe that the U.S. gov­ern­ment played a role in the 9/11 attacks. He is also another colum­nist for the anti-Semitic web­site Vet­er­ans Today and has writ­ten  two arti­cles for the Op-Ed News site in which he pro­motes anti-Semitic 9/11 con­spir­acy theories.
  • The Coun­cil for the National Inter­est (CNI): CNI is anti-Israel orga­ni­za­tion that opposes U.S. aid to Israel and dis­sem­i­nates demo­niz­ing pro­pa­ganda about Israel to aca­d­e­mic, politi­cians, and other audi­ences. CNI is led by Ali­son Weir, a promi­nent voice in the anti-Israel move­ment who often char­ac­ter­izes the Jew­ish state as a vio­lent aggressor.

The con­fer­ence demon­strates, once again, that Iran at the fore­front of pro­mot­ing clas­si­cal anti-Semitic con­spir­acy the­o­ries.

ADL Tracks Hackers Targeting Jewish Institutions For Electronic Jihad

The Moroc­can Ghosts, a polit­i­cally moti­vated hacker group tar­get­ing the web­sites of Jew­ish insti­tu­tions, launched a cyber-attack last week against a server that hosts approx­i­mately 50 Jew­ish con­gre­ga­tional web­sites, includ­ing syn­a­gogues in New Jer­sey and Connecticut.

The hack­ers defaced the tar­geted web­sites with their logo and an hour-long video deny­ing the Holo­caust. The Moroc­can Ghosts, which has report­edly hacked approx­i­mately 82 web­sites since March, had been promis­ing to launch attacks for sev­eral months.

The group cel­e­brated the attack in a state­ment posted to its Face­book page. The state­ment, trans­lated by the Anti-Defamation League, claimed that the attack was car­ried out against “one of the most sig­nif­i­cant and very extreme Zion­ist assem­blies that sup­port Israel in America.”

The state­ment also read: “…we posted on their wall a video that proves the ridicu­lous­ness of accus­ing the Ger­mans with the Holo­caust. It [the holo­caust] was a scam by the Jews to black­mail the Ger­mans and the west after the war and gain inter­na­tional sym­pa­thy to take over Pales­tin­ian lands… The truth is Holo­caust never happened…”

ADL noti­fied Face­book about the group’s activ­ity and sub­se­quently, the page was taken down. The group has since reestab­lished a new Face­book page, fea­tur­ing sim­i­lar con­tent and promis­ing to con­tinue to recre­ate new Face­book pages as needed.

A post on the groups Twit­ter feed warned that “War against the Zion­ist pigs is com­ing com­ing com­ing…,” Through its twit­ter feed, it also declared sup­port to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyah, the Pales­tini­ans and the Arab and Islamic causes.

On one of the Moroc­can Ghosts’ YouTube chan­nels, the group describes itself as a Moroc­can patri­otic group that oper­ates under Morocco’s motto “God, the King, and the Home­land.” The group has been tar­get­ing per­ceived sup­port­ers of Israel, mostly but not exclu­sively, in the United States.

In addi­tion to its ani­mos­ity towards Israel, Zion­ists and Jews, the group claims to oppose the Polis­ario Front, a group work­ing for the inde­pen­dence of West­ern Sahara from Morocco.

This lat­est cyber-attack is part of a larger trend of polit­i­cally moti­vated hack­ings tar­get­ing the web­sites of per­ceived sup­port­ers of Israel. ADL’s regional offices can offer guid­ance to Jew­ish insti­tu­tions regard­ing online and dig­i­tal security.

Farrakhan Speaks To NOI About Jewish Control And The Holocaust

On Octo­ber 21, Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Far­rakhan deliv­ered the “Part 2” of his Holy Day of Atone­ment address in Chicago. While “Part 1” of his address in Char­lotte last week pri­mar­ily focused on harshly crit­i­ciz­ing Pres­i­dent Barack Obama and Gov­er­nor Mitt Rom­ney, the audi­ence at the NOI’s Mosque Maryam was exposed to Farrakhan’s views on Jew­ish con­trol in the U.S. and a litany of con­spir­acy the­o­ries. Below are some excerpts from Farrakhan’s speech in Chicago:

Jew­ish Con­trol of America

“Now you know I’m going to be lam­basted and called anti-Semitic… They’ll say Far­rakhan was up to his old canards; he said Jews con­trol Hol­ly­wood. Well, they said it them­selves! Jews con­trol the media. They said it them­selves! Jews and some gen­tiles con­trol the bank­ing indus­try, inter­na­tional banks. They do! In Wash­ing­ton right next to the Holo­caust Museum is the Fed­eral Reserve where they print the money. Is that an accident?”

“The bankers never lose. I’m sorry, Mr. Roth­schild, you and your bankers will lose today. You are not going to suck the life blood of the world’s peo­ple too much longer.”

The Holo­caust

“I don’t know how many Jews were killed. I know some­thing hap­pened in Nazi Ger­many, and if it’s one mil­lion, two mil­lion, three mil­lion; it’s one mil­lion, two mil­lion, three mil­lion too many. But to deny a per­son the right to chal­lenge your artic­u­la­tion of num­bers and to put you in jail if you deny aspects of the Holo­caust… You can’t speak about Jews. You can’t crit­i­cize Jews. If you do, you’re an anti-Semite.”

Israel

“…what kind of friend has Israel been to Amer­ica? … Do friends spy on each other? Israelis spy on Amer­ica! Do friends tap each other’s tele­phones? Do they? Mossad tapped the White House phone sys­tem! That’s how they tapped into knowl­edge of what was going on in the Oval Office that wasn’t quite kosher…Tons of ura­nium was stolen from Amer­ica; it ended up in Israel. Israel destroyed an Amer­i­can ship, the [U.S.S.] Lib­erty. Is this what friends do to friends? Amer­i­cans lost their lives!”
