USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) today sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos inquiring about Amazon profiting from the sale of products and content from groups identified as neo-Nazis and white nationalist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC),” a press release by the congressman’s office claimed Tuesday.
“Amazon’s practice of hosting the sale of hateful literature, toys, and music spreads and normalizes hate ideologies,” Ellison’s letter charged.
Disregarding for a moment that censorship of literature and music that government officials want to see suppressed is the hallmark of a totalitarian, or that book-burning is something associated with real Nazis, we should also consider the source. Per PJ Media:
“[T]he Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) settled a defamation suit filed by Muslim reformer Maajid Nawaz, whom the SPLC maligned as an ‘anti-Muslim extremist.’ On Tuesday, PJ Media reported that no fewer than 60 organizations are considering similar lawsuits against the SPLC. The organization is still facing a lawsuit from D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM), a Christian organization falsely labeled a ‘hate group.’”
“47 Nonprofit Leaders Denounce the Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘Hate List’ in Open Letter to the Media,” a report from a year earlier documented. That one also recalled the story of “a terrorist attack inspired by the SPLC’s hate list … Floyd Lee Corkins II entered the Family Research Council offices in Washington, D.C. and shot and badly wounded its building manager, Leo Johnson, who stopped his intended killing spree … Corkins intended to kill everyone in the building, and then go on to terrorize additional organizations.”
Another point to consider for someone like Ellison who claims to be a socialist against Nazis: Even though they’ll argue loudly against it, the truth is they are (once again) lying to deceive the ignorant. Aside from deriving the name from “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” (the National Socialist German Workers’ Party), there is this inconvenient truth:
“It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too. The title of National Socialism was not hypocritical,” author George G. Watson documented in “Hitler and the Socialist Dream.”
By way of credentials, Watson was a “scholar, literary critic, historian, a fellow of St John’s College and professor of English at Cambridge University,” who, rather than being some “far right” apologist, was also, incidentally, “an active member of the Liberal Party [who] in his will … left £950,000 to the Liberal Democrats.”
It’s curious that “socialist” Ellison isn’t also putting the squeeze on Amazon to get rid of its communist literature and merchandise. Talk about an ideology of hate and genocide!
It’s just not surprising considering affiliations with the Democrat Socialists of America.
Ellison is a leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, co-founded by Bernie Sanders. And the Caucus (with Ellison specifically identified) maintains “ties” with the Communist Party USA and “close ties” with another “progressive” group, the Democratic Socialists of America, the domestic arm of Socialist International.
The DSA devoted a page on their website (until they took it down to try to hide it—this link goes to the Internet Archive record, which they can’t erase) to hymns glorifying their “struggle.” The following examples should be of special interest, since the people they’re talking about are pretty much you and me:
Here’s something else that shouldn’t surprise anyone: They’re obsessed with “controlling” your guns. That’s because it’s not about controlling guns, it’s about controlling us, including the information they would “allow” us to access. Just like totalitarians have always done.

history IS THE BEST TEACHER, people either learn from it, or REPEAT IT.
the way things are lining up today we are fixing to REPEAT IT.
and there is not enough space here to explain WHY?
also watch for the MIDTERMS for things to get HOTTER, and being from Alabama, i can tell all here.
THE SPLC WAS CREATED BY COMMUNIST JEWS, and STILL RUN BY THEM, AND THEY ARE A TOTAL HATE GROUP OF ANYTHING DO DO WITH WHITE PEOPLE.
Good catch with the way back machine of their violent Marxist songs aimed at the deplorables. That alone is reason to stop any new gun laws. Not.exactly a surprise that black nationalist Ellison is in favor – he also wants a black ethnic state created out of the U.S.
It concerns me that some seem to believe that only a Christian can serve in the Gov’t. Wild Bill asserts the oath is only for the public and not for the taker. That seems absurd. It’s for both. I do not agree with Ellison’s politics, nor his religion, but believe he should take the oath on a book of his choice, something he believes in. Again, there is NO religious test or requirement for being elected and serving. What a person does when serving is what counts. If they upset the apple cart too much, they’ll be out next election.… Read more »
Wild Bill,
Let us not be forgetting the Tarpeian Rock!
I’ve read that it has a wonderful view from the top! There are a couple of hundred members of Congress I would like to show that view too, and then send them on their ways!
At least two-thirds of the Senate come to mind rather easily as well!
Donald, Perhaps it is my formal training during graduate school in German military history, that provides to me an assumption that those who argue such as yourself, would understand the obvious Point within my reference; that sooner rather than later would be better, because sooner would be in favor of constitutionalists and not in the favor of the Socialists. What I mean by this, is that right now constitutionalist on the vast majority of weapons, the vast majority of ammunition, and we even have a better level of training, tactical understanding, and of course within our ranks happened to be… Read more »
Norman Thomas, the six-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President, said the following in a 1944 speech: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened…. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.” And, today, the Republican Party RINOs have adopted it as well. It is no longer a situation of “enemy in the wire”. Today….and for several… Read more »
Hello again Donald, Sadly, your statement that I expressed that all Republicans are Rinos, is not true. I stated that there are many Republicans who are rhinos, and that their agendas are in Real World terms, the same in outcome as Democrats; it’ll just take them longer to destroy our nation. Further, your implication that I want Civil War is wholly erroneous! I do not want to see a Civil War in my lifetime, but the sad fact is that politically, culturally, and as a society, we are now in the same dire situation, in which we found ourselves in… Read more »
Ellison and Waters are a couple of flea bags that should be reined in and reeducated. If the civil war had not occurred they would both be keeping their filthy mouths shut.
I know well the past work of SPLC’s founding member Mark Potok, who from inception made it crystal clear that “justice” meant something entirely different to him and his chorts than to those of us who live by and with justice. His was indeed a ruse, using the convenience of racial issues to gather support and create a brand. SPLC has never been anything more than a blackboard pointer to identify targets for it’s fabricated lists of “hate groups”. One of the greatest ironies in this is that SPLC lies squarely in the definition of a “hate group”, only focused… Read more »
Donald, I should have provided a caveat when referring to myself as a pragmatist, in that my pragmatism is personally based in everyday life: if something works I use it in maintain it, if it doesn’t work I jettison it, based upon empirical results. When it comes to political issues, I refuse to allow my pragmatism to supersede my moral and ethical premise he’s, upon which I base my actions, thoughts, and points of view. In real-world terms, there is no real difference between a Rino and a Progressive; the former is destroying the nation more slowly than the latter,… Read more »
