Lux Lucet

There may be any number of reasons why Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration for the AG role. Some say the establishment didn’t like him because of the (in my opinion, probably false) charges of sexual scandal involving a 17-year-old female intern. Some may have objected since Gaetz had no experience as an AG. That would be fair enough. But there’s another reason that, in my view, there was so much pushback against Gaetz: He wouldn’t bend the knee to the Israel Lobby, and the Israel Lobby hated him for it lashed out against him.

In an article in RT,[1] Jonathan Greenblatt, one of the shrillest and most evil public figures I’ve seen, denounced Gaetz thus,

Rep. Matt Gaetz has a long history of trafficking in anti-Semitism – from explaining his vote against the bipartisan Anti-Semitism Awareness Act by invoking the centuries-old trope that Jews killed Jesus to defending the Great Replacement Theory and inviting a Holocaust denier as his 2018 State of the Union guest.

A few thoughts on all this…

First, let me be entirely clear that the Jews did, in fact, kill Jesus. This is not some private opinion of mine or a “centuries old trope” as Greenblatt likes to say. It’s a proposition, a truth, revealed in the Word of God.

Men of Israel…Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him…you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death (Acts 2:22-23).

And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him [Stephen]seized him, and brought him to the council {the Sanhedrin] …Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?” … [Stephen said] Which of the prophets did your fathers [the Sanhedrin] not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers…” (Acts 6:11; 7:1; 52).

Some Jews boasted about their role in the murder of Jesus Christ and invited judgment on themselves and their children.

When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matt. 27:24, 25).

Other verses in the New Testament prove clearly that the Jews murdered Christ, but the above passages are sufficient to settle the matter.

Second, what Greenblatt calls “the great replacement theory” is, in fact, a fact. Due to the efforts of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, various Jewish organizations such as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and Muslims, the historic populations of the European nations and their offshoots are being replaced in their own homelands. That’s the purpose and meaning of, for example, 20,000 Haitians on the government dole showing up in Springfield, Ohio, and taking over the jobs, homes, and schools of the people who live there and whose families have lived there for generations.

But, in Jonathan Greenblatt’s mind, God forbid anyone to complain about it. Why, they must be racist! And some of the first people who will call such people “racist” are the fine folks at the ADL, the Jewish pressure group that Greenblatt heads.

Third, Greenblatt invokes the dread specter of “holocaust denialism” and accuses Gaetz of the ersatz crime. This is a serious charge from Greenblatt. Did you know you can be fined or imprisoned in some European countries for denying the Holocaust? For example, the SPLC reports, happily, that Ernst Zundel was sentenced to five years in prison by a German court – not for robbery, not for rape, not for assault, embezzlement, murder, or any other actual crime – but for “denying the Holocaust.”[2] And Holocaust denial isn’t just a simple matter of saying no Jews were killed by the Nazis. It extends to even minimizing the impact of the Holocaust. For example, if one said that only 5 million Jews were killed in Nazi death camps, he could potentially run afoul of many European anti-free speech laws.

No one should be fined or jailed for expressing a historical opinion. This is why we have the First Amendment. But beyond that, the very fact that Holocaust pushers have to pass laws to punish those who disagree with them is a strong indication that the entire Holocaust narrative rests on shakier ground than Greenblatt and others want you to believe. It’s a form of modern-day dogmatism, not unlike the laws in medieval Europe that mandated belief in the real presence of Christ in the mass. If you disbelieved this superstitious doctrine, you were a “real presence denier” and could be arrested, tortured, and murdered.

And make no mistake, Jonathan Greenblatt and others want to bring such laws to the United States. That’s the purpose of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which Matt Gaetz opposed but was passed by the House of Representatives earlier in 2024. As the RT article explained,

The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which passed the House of Representatives earlier this year but never became law, would have criminalized “contemporary examples of anti-Semitism,” including “claims of Jews killing Jesus.” As these claims are repeatedly made in the New Testament of the Bible, Gaetz argued that the bill would have essentially outlawed much of Christianity’s core text.[3]

This brings us to Trump’s replacement for Matt Gaetz, former Florida AG Pam Bondi. Appointing a woman as AG is a foolish move. But what makes it even more foolish – indeed, downright dangerous – is that, unlike Gaetz, she thinks the Antisemitism Awareness Act, and presumably other such anti-First Amendment legislation, is a wonderful thing.

Daniel McAdams, co-host of Ron Paul’s The Liberty Report and Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute, posed on X, saying about Pam Bondi, “The future Attorney General of the United States hates the US Constitution. Let that sink in.” McAdam’s post was accompanied by a video in which Bondi stated her support for the idea that American students who protest Israel should be “taken out” of the country or subject to FBI interviews.

Let me be crystal clear on this as well: the American people have a God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to peacefully question and criticize the Holocaust narrative, Israel, Jews, Zionists, Zionism, the war in Gaza, and Bibi Netanyahu without fear of being kicked out of the country or subject FBI interrogation. Anyone who gives up even an inch, even a millimeter, on this principle, as Bondi has, has no business being anywhere near the Attorney General’s office, let alone being nominated for it. Pam Bondi is MIGA, not MAGA.
