20 Feb 2017 – <\/em>Nothing in Trump\u2019s campaign resonated with the American heartland quite like\u00a0\u201cAmerica First\u201d. But Trump wasn\u2019t the first. Remember Charles Lindbergh? He put \u201cAmerica First\u201d and paid the price.<\/p>\n

Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR) also wasn\u2019t first but neither were we last. The first DYR \u201cAmerica First\u201d billboard went up in Detroit\u00a0in November 2015. \u00a0It didn\u2019t last long but such is Jewish power.<\/p>\n

It re-appeared on February 6 this year near Ann Arbor, Michigan but, just one week later, DYR received a call from\u00a0Adams Outdoor Advertising General Manager Mike Cannon saying that the board had to come down.\u00a0Such is Jewish power.<\/p>\n

These tactics, known as \u2018Dynamic Silencing\u201d, are well-worn and well-described by Benjamin Ginsberg in his book The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State<\/a><\/em>, p. 124:<\/p>\n

Working together, officials of the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, and the ADL would approach the publishers of major newspapers and owners of radio stations in cities where Smith [substitute any \u201canti-Semite\u201d] had scheduled appearances to ask that Smith be given no coverage whosoever. If newspapers and radio stations failed to cooperate on a voluntary basis, Jewish organizations were usually able to secure their compliance by threatening boycotts by Jewish advertisers.<\/p>\n

So where now? Try another site? Turn it into a lapel pin? Put it on a truck and drive it cross-country?<\/p>\n

Please send any ideas to us\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
