David Morgan fantasises about Jewish power a lot.
He seems particularly taken by a conspiracy fantasy from 1846 about the Rothschilds. It was later adopted by the Nazis for their propaganda
But there are lots of racist accounts, so why does this one matter?…

The question of supporting RATWM was discussed by the WIGP Coordinating Council in the weeks preceding February 19th, and was considered again during the February 15th Coordinating Council meeting. Following this discussion, WIGP leadership voted 6-2 not to endorse the rally.
We recognize that peace on a global scale cannot be achieved without social justice. The views & goals of many organizations & individuals who planned & participated in RATWM contradict the Green Party’s commitment to social justice & equity as part of our party’s 4 Pillars.
The "red lines" of @ChrisLynnHedges are falling even more rapidly than NATO's. Less than a week ago, in his article defending his presence on the platform of the upcoming #RageAgainstWarMachine rally, Hedges wrote: 1/
"If I had organized the rally, there are some speakers I would not have invited. But I didn’t. This does not mean that there are no red lines: I would not join a protest that included neo-Nazi groups such as Aryan Nations or militias such as The Proud Boys or Oath Keepers." 2/
Hedges has amended his position. Hedges told Kim Iversen today (Friday) that while he would not join a rally organized by fascists, the neo-Nazis, Aryan Nation members, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are "more than welcome" to attend Sunday's rally. 3/
The political views of @ChrisLynnHedges have changed dramatically over the last 15 years. He now insists on the necessity of a "left-right coalition, which will include people whose opinions are not only unpalatable but even repugnant..." #RageAgainstWarMachine 1/
But he argued vehemently against an alliance with the extreme right in "American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America," published in 2008. He poured scorn on the self-deluding liberal appeal for dialogue with these reactionary forces. He wrote: 2/
"Debate with the radical Christian Right is useless. We cannot reach this movement. It does not want a dialogue. It is a movement based on emotion and cares nothing for rational thought and discussion. ... 3/
The apologetic justification provided by @ChrisLynnHedges for sharing a platform with the right and even fascists in the frauduent Feb 19 #RageAgainstWarMachine rally is hard to equal as an example of political disorientation, outright ignorance and self-deluding demagogy. 1/
To excuse his collaboration with the reactionaries, Hedges offers a political amnesty for his new allies.
“The rally on February 19 is not about eliminating Social Security and Medicare or abolishing the minimum wage, which many libertarians propose,” he writes." 2/

Hedges continues: “It is not a rally to denounce the rights of the LGBTQ community, which have been attacked by at least one of the speakers. It is a rally to end permanent war." 3/
Perhaps we should say more about RT, Sputnik (also RIA etc) at this point, and their editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan. #ProWarRally

Moscow got so excited to participate in *another* """anti-war""" #ProWarRally with warmongers and LaRouchites that she completely forgot what party she's in. Honest mistake, I'm sure...
