Bollyn might be OK if I fail to find a direct quote of him saying something anti-semitic. But the fact that he works for Willis Carto and has a long association with hate groups like "The Liberty Lobby," "The Barnes Review," "The Spotlight," "Institute for Historical Review" to name a few is something that is to be overlooked because he promotes the 9/11 was an inside job nonsense. http://www.americanreview.us/carto.htmIn the 1950s, Carto joined the John Birch Society, but was ousted by founder Robert Welch after disputes arose--in short order--between them. In 1954, Carto served as Director of the "Congress of Freedom". He supported the "Joint Council for Repatriation," a "Back-to-Africa" white racist group. He was affiliated with the racist "National Alliance for White People," as well as "Americans for National Security," the "United Congressional Appeal," and the "Save our Schools" group. All of these were rabidly white supremacist, anti-civil rights, racist organizations.
Carto served as the Regional Vice-President of the "We, The People" group and was active in the "Government Educational Foundation." In 1968, he backed George Wallace when Wallace ran for President, running a highly racist-laced campaign favoring segregation and denouncing civil rights efforts. Carto took over the "Youth for Wallace" group and founded its successor, the "National Youth Alliance."
The common theme woven throught Carto's organzations and their publications were/are code words, heavily laced with the typical paranoid conspiracy theories alleging an ongoing, supposedly secret history to the world involving an extended, centuries-old plot by Jews to take over the world, destroy Christianity, destroy the Constitution, and enslave gentiles to do the work of a Jewish elite who would rule the world, as per (Christian interpreted) Biblical prophecies. According to the conspiracy-minded writers, this plot extended back in time to include the Knights Templars, the Illuminati, Freemasons, Jacobins, and other similar "secret societies."
In the more "modern" version of the plot line, the conspirators inevitably turned out to be alternately labeled the Jews, Zionists, international bankers (who had Jewish sounding names), monied elites (who were considered the "super-Capitalists"), and secret "cabals" with various ominous-sounding names.
It is a tortured effort to try to get at how and when anti-Semitism began to permeate these conspiracy theories. For our purposes, it is important to know that the evolution and disseimination of these theories do indeed have a "genealogy"--including such figures as Henry Ford.
For now, however, we will focus on Willis Carto who bought into contemporary American scene these earlier anti-Semitic (and increasingly white supremacist) conspiracy fairy-tales. Along with the anti-Semitism of the more recent Christian origins, ran the German nationalist (Nazi) idea of the so-called "Aryan supremacy." (To set the record straight, "Aryan" refers to a language group, and the only Aryan-speaking people in Hitler's Europe were the Gypsies, whom he promptly sent to the gas chambers. So much for the precision of language used by those who called themselves Aryans to describe the “Aryan race.”)
The theme of white (or "Aryan") supremacy is infused throughout Carto's hate-mongering affiliations. You just have to know that words like "Zionist," "international bankers," "ZOG," (Zionist Occupational Government). "alien other," and other similar code-words, all mean the same thing to the Cartos of the world: that the Jews were/are behind an alleged conspiracy to take over the world and create the ever-fabled “one-world government.” This is the guy Bollyn works for and has for a while. I'll not be spending too much effort trying to find some direct quotes from Bollyn to prove he's an anti-semite. The friends he keeps and how he earns a living is all the evidence I need.
