Well, definitions of proof differ from one person to the next, but I believe his hypothesis can be disproven (which is why I disagree with him so profoundly).
His basic thesis is that Jews do certain things that he considers destructive to other groups out of self-interest. He’s really referring to the organized Jewish elite, since a majority of Jews aren’t party to lobbying for specific pieces of legislation. My own view is that key items supported by said elite can be shown to be contrary to the self-interest of Jews. For ex, KM sees Jewish support for the immigration law passed in the 60s as something Jews did in their self-interest. IMO it can be shown that on balance immigration policy since then has not been in the interest of American Jews at all. The same goes for other liberal policies regularly supported by the Jewish elite. In fact, I would like to smack upside the head the people who do these things supposedly on my behalf.
I respect KM for his academic efforts, I just think he’s wrong.
Back to SPLC for a minute. I gotta say that despite all the stupid policies that liberal Jews foolishly support, Jews have nonetheless made enormous contributions to Western civilization, especially in science and medicine. That’s why I get so offended by SPLC claiming that Jews are out to destroy Western civilization.
SCAM-A-RAMA Morris Seligman Dees, Jr. is co-founder and chief trial counsel for the tax-exempt Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Dees was one of the principal architects of an innovative strategy of using civil lawsuits to secure a court judgment for money damages against an organization for a wrongful act and then use the courts to seize its assets (money, land, buildings, other property) to pay the judgment.
ANALYSIS SPLC'S modus operandi is amazingly similar to the Milberg Weiss "class action" scam. Read on.
NYP---June 3, 2008 -- Mel Weiss, co-founder and chief trial counsel for the securities law firm Milberg LLP, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illegally paying clients to file shareholder suits that prosecutors said earned $251 million in lawyer fees. Weiss pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, admitting he helped secretly pay a stable of plaintiffs to file suits 1979-2005. By using them to sue first, the firm was more likely to lead cases and reap larger fees.
"Weiss was widely recognized as the king of the plaintiffs' securities bar," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor. Yesterday's sentence, along with a similar prison term for Weiss' ex-partner, Bill Lerach, caps a victory for the Justice Department in its effort to combat shareholder litigation and the two men who pioneered the modern securities fraud class action.
Weiss, Lerach and their counterparts engineered cases and paid litigants to sue that forced companies to pay $45 billion.........,and damaged millions of stockholders.
Milberg became so feared by corporations that Congress passed a law making it harder to file such suits. Weiss's former law firm dropped him from its name when he pleaded guilty. Lerach made a plea deal in a scheme prosecutors alleged involved kickback payments to plaintiffs in class action lawsuits he and his former law firm brought. Court papers say that the two employed the scheme for more than two decades in 150 cases that brought their firm more than $200 million in fees (that we know of).
Milberg Weiss, the NY law firm where was indicted on conspiracy, mail fraud and money laundering charges in May 2006. In Lerach's agreement to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, Justice Department lawyers agreed not to prosecute him over "election, campaign, or other political contributions" related to shady donations to the John Edwards campaign.
SHAKEDOWN CENTRAL America's farmers, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, research scientists, fashion designers, and restaurateurs have seen for decades how the animal rights movement can behave like a mobbed-up shakedown racket.
A Federal judge ruled the defendants collaborated to pay more than $190,000 to a "barn helper" in exchange for his impeached testimony. A nonprofit "Wildlife Advocacy Project" charity was used to funnel money from a law firm to the bribed plaintiff.
