Wasn't it MacDonald who said: "The Truth, in and of itself has become Anti-Semitic"?
Pacifica lectures decried as anti-Semitic
By Jeff Wright

Published: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Concerned community members have formed the Anti-Hate Task Force to protest a series of public talks at the University of Oregon that they say are anti-Semitic.
The talks are sponsored by the Pacifica Forum, a local discussion group founded by Orval Etter, a longtime Eugene pacifist, university professor and music patron.
At the forum's most recent public event on Friday, Valdas Anelauskas gave a 75-minute lecture on "Zionism and Russia" in which he asserted that Jews were largely responsible for the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Anelauskas dedicated his lecture to Germar Rudolf, a Holocaust denier imprisoned in Germany.
In a recent e-mail, Anelauskas, a native of Lithuania, describes himself as "a nationalist and white separatist and racialist."
Critics contend that Anelauskas' series of lectures, and other Pacifica Forum topics, are bitterly anti-Semitic and steeped in historical falsehoods. Some question whether the UO should continue to provide space to the forum, while others argue for counter-programming.

"This has been going on for years, and we think it's time it be exposed," said Craig Weinerman, president of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Lane County and a task force member. "The community needs to know that this is going on and be educated about what this really is, which is anti-Semitism, pure and simple."
Organizers, however, say they are guilty only of giving a forum to "politically incorrect" views by daring to question Israel's public policies, especially as they pertain to Palestine, and by offering unpopular assessments of Jews' role in world history.
They also note that critics have been invited to share their perspectives at future forum gatherings - an offer that has yet to be accepted. Some critics are urging that national experts on hate speech be invited to speak locally, in a separate venue, as a counter to the Pacifica Forum events.
The Anti-Hate Task Force is an offshoot of the social justice group Community Alliance of Lane County. Task force members include local clergy and representatives from the UO and the city's Human Rights Commission.
The Pacifica Forum's stated purpose is to "provide information and points of view regarding war and peace, militarism and pacifism, violence and nonviolence." Etter, 91, said he started the forum in 1994, modeling it after a supper club by the same name in the San Francisco Bay Area that presented programs on peace and its absence.
A lifelong pacifist, Etter worked for 11 years for Fellowship of Reconciliation, a national interfaith peace group, and later taught a course on violence and nonviolence at the UO. He served for years as staff attorney to the UO's Bureau of Municipal Research, and was chief draftsman for Eugene's 1976 city charter.
He is also an avid music lover and cellist who founded the Emerald Chamber Orchestra and Eugene Symphony Orchestra, and emceed local concerts.
Etter said he organized the forum after he "became convinced that Israel was a very tyrannical state." He said he recalls reading a pamphlet that asserted that "what Israel is doing to Palestine is a holocaust."
"That's inflammatory, but recent events have convinced me more than ever that that's valid," he said.
Pacifica Forum topics this year have included a lecture by Etter on British historian David Irving, a Holocaust denier who

Is this the same Pacifica as Pacifica radio that sponsors grandaughter of an orthodox rabbi Amy Goodman? If so this is very good news. It's good news no matter what.
The far Left needs to let us in from the cold sooner or later.

The jewish influence at the U of O in Eugene Oregon was "The Empicenter for destroying this state", and the other state schools all followed suit by the late 70's. Eugene was once one of the finest medium to small sized citie's in the World to live. It is now FUBAR-ed for the last 20 years. Why? Well who do you think run's it ? It ain't the bull dykes and assorted other freak's that are only cover for who headed up all the major protest's in the 70's through today. I will never forget the screaming protest's banging drums and bumper sticker's against Ian Smith and Rhodesia, B.S. back in 1980 and 81, but not a word today about what really happened to black worker's and White farmer's.
The Chinese are in Rhodesia now, how did this happen? It was planned all along, bet on it. Today we have brainwashed White's who think their so smart to correct some one with saying it no longer called Rhodesia, itz now called, etc.
From Aracta CA. home of Humbolt State College of the Redwoods to Southern Oregon State college in Ashland and all the place's that were heaven to live now have kike holiday's boldly proclaimed and the N.P.R. station out here is spread out all over the entire region with itz lieing Propaganda slopped out daily.
Point is jews have been flooding the area for twenty years, but much more so in the last ten years. They also get into city and county government or try to within two years. Really, and network they do, itz funny to know who they are, as most don't see these hive loxists as they operate to destroy every area left to White America, and they are doing in Urugauy to N.Z. too. It's amazing that jews are not counted in the U.S. census. Of course most would lie about it they were ask any way. Has any read any article's with the real estimate of how many Vampires are in the U.S.? Itz not 3%, it just can't be.
Pelican Bay CA. State Prison was a kike engineered idea, as that area of CA. was 99% White till the prison opened in 1991. Crescent City CA. protested in the streets. 72% of the population did NOT want the prison.
Most of the enviromental outfit's in the N.W. are bull dkye and kike headed. As of ten years ago, there were NO Afreakin's or Messycan's in these enviro groups, because they are about collecting money and donor's to their 501-C tax except gravey trains's, again. I use to know about every enviro in the past they were all money grubbing two faced bastards. NOT one was really a decent person that I meet, and they would never say a word against non whites, but would say that we should not have children etc. I am not anti eviromental, but they won't say ONE word about million's of alien savage's that flooded in as that is of NO evirmental concern, but new anti White laws are.
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples
to lead our country to destruction.
