So Called Liberal Hollywood - Jewish Public Relations

by whendoesit end Tuesday, Mar. 08, 2005 at 10:44 AM

Jewish Hollywood and Hate

Family Bonds, The Media & HBO Brown Skin Bashing



HBO once again found humor and entertainment in Hindu bashing. If you read below in this blog or at the link to my blog below, you'll note the first instance where HBO found it humorous that a man would hurl insults such as "Get the •••• out of the way dothead" and "yeah move achmed" and what he perceived to be an Indian. These aren't isolated incidents on HBO, they have a continuous pattern of Indian and Hindu hatred in their programming. You'll also note below that I contacted them specifically about the racism against Hindus used as entertainment on their programming lineup.

To think that despite the concerns I raised, they continued on with their hatred of Hindus by not editing out this racist scene. In fact, leaving it in as a typical "•••• you" that the media gives to the races that they don't like, especially if that race has brown skin. They couldn't even accomodate a simple 20 second deletion of this racist scene. Allowing it to be broadcasted to millions of people around the country as humour and entertainment. This is stuff we Hindus have to deal with everyday in real life and HBO considers it entertaining. Kinda like how the KKK likes to show Hitler's speeches over and over again. Having racist epithats hurled at us Hindus is nothing new, we are the ones out in public more and we are the ones bearing the brunt of the media generated anti-muslim backlash.

For whatever reason, the Jewish people running HBO, and I have provided evidence that it is Jewish below (2% of America, 50% of HBO's top executives) hate Hindus passionately. Below in the link to my blog you will find a host of instances of Hindu Bashing, Indian Bashing, Gandhi Bashing, Indian restaurant bashing, India bashing,etc. The portrayals we receive on this cable channel is disgusting and full of hatred. Entire episodes have been dedicated to bashing Hindus. Not once are we portrayed as regular old Americans without an accent.

In HBO's response to me, they wanted me to judge HBO's as a whole. In other words, HBO gets awards from groups like the NAACP or Peabodies for its programming. That would be the equivelant of the KKK giving an award to David Duke. What I mean by that is that HBO's programming is dominated by shows promoting African Americans, Jews and Gays. The bulk of their programming schedule consists of these three groups. A majority of these portrayals are positive and humanizing. So, of course Jewish groups, African American groups and Gay groups are going to shower HBO with awards. I dont have a problem with Gay, Jewish or African American programming. I take issue with the constant Hindu bashing by our so-called Jewish "friends".

This HBO my friends, is a Jewish dominated Hate group running a cable channel that has a virtual monopoly on the films that come out of hollywood. You are a hate group when you constantly promote groups X,Y and Z and bash A, B, C & D constantly. It is like the KKK, when they promote their own people, white people, or when they only list the accomplishments and awards of white people, etc. Yes, Jewish people can also be bigots and HBO is proof positive. They use their monopoly power to insert their private agenda, which is the promotion of Jewish people. Just take a look at their lineup in my blog.

Of course I don't expect any of the so-called anti-hate groups to protest HBO or send them a letter regarding their hatred of Hindus and Indians. According to these so-called anti-hate groups like the NAACP, the ADL and the rest of the gang, you are only a bigot if you hate Jews, Blacks and Gays. If you are Indian, Hindu, Muslim or anything that looks remotely Palestinian nobody is on your side and if you do organize to combat hatred from a media outlet like HBO, they will come after you with venom and use their political and media power to bury you. That's why the NY Post exists, it's why Abe Foxman exists, it's why AIPAC exists and its why Daniel Pipes exists. That's why I wont formally complain to them, I dont want to end up on the Jewish •••• list that they have similar to the one Abe Foxman was collecting out of his California office. Although, I bet they already know who I am...don't care...just as long as you stop bashing my people...i'll take the fall and venom you dish out as you typically do when people critisize you Klan.

What do we do as Hindus? We are the ones getting attacked, stabbed and having our temples burned down after 9-11-01. We are the ones getting racially profiled. We are the ones looked at suspiciously. We are also the punching bag for media outlets like HBO. For example, HBO also attacks Catholic priests constantly on HBO, so they did a damning documentary on them. But, to make it look like they aren't solely picking on Priests, they threw a bunch of Hindus in there acting like monkeys and rolling their cocks into pretzels. They said, "here, this is Hinduism". They did that so it would'nt appear that they were only targeting Catholics. OK, so when the media wants to attack catholics, they throw Hindus in there as a buffer. But guess what, we are also the punching bag when they go after muslims. Daniel Pipes wrote a special Valentines Day article for Muslims, not that he isnt the Jewish version of David Duke anyway, but he too threw some Hindus in that article to buffer his hatred of muslims. We're the punching bag on both sides. Let's not forget about outsourcing either.

So it really doesnt matter, they use us and demean us at their will and pleasure. Can we cancel HBO? Of course we can, but since they have a monopoly on the movies coming out, what is the alternative? If they removed their personal hate agenda and self-promotion they would actually be a decent channel. Unfortunately the odds that HBO itself becomes diverse are slim. It's extremely funny that the media like HBO peddles diversity, yet most of the stuff on there is produced by Jewish people and they themselves as an organization aren't diverse when it comes to executives, producers, writers, and on and on. 2% of America? 50%+ of the programming and executives of HBO. Since Time Warner is publicly owned, maybe Time Warner should be the outlet that we Hindus should demand action from. Somewhere there has to be a law protecting a minority group from constant slams by the media even when that media is owned by another minority. Has to be. If the Israeli lobby can get a law passed to punish colleges and universities that critisize Israel, there must be a law or FCC rule against the media attacking some non-Jewish group/minority. Who knows, I wish Hindus had special protection laws the way Jewish people do, someone has to protect us from Jewish bigotry.

Maybe we should reassess our relationship with the Jewish community in America. It's quite telling that India provided a safe haven for Jews during their diaspora, one of the few nations to do so, and yet the Jewish American community here in America, specifically in the media is doing its damnest to make our lives difficult here in America. This is our thanks, dehumanizing imagry in their media of us. When they parade those middle easterners in their media to win support for Israel, the Hindu Indian is collateral damage. Most Americans don't know what muslims look like nor do they care, they turn on the TV and whatever skin color or look the people are who are attacking Israel or our troops will be the ones who get the backlash. There is an active effort from BOTH hollywood and the HBO's in America to alienate a segment of the population. The Daniel Pipes of the world scream racial rants about unassimilation by various non-white groups in Western Countries, yet he never points to the fact the his friends and fellow tribesmen are the ones actively engaging in alienating 2-3 billion people in the world. I don't feel like an American, especially seeing the way the Jewish people portray my people on HBO and I am an avid viewer of that channel. I have been shoved into a wall TWICE in midtown Manhattan, I get profiled by the cops and generally looked at with suspicion even when i walk my dog and I am AN ATHIEST for the most part. I have had those racial insults hurled at me while driving just as in these episodes of "Family Bonds" But, that appears to be the goal of the HBO's, afterall they will never humanize brown skin in their media, anything that look palestinian, muslim or not is targeted by our media. No need to ask why and Hindus are simply collateral damage.

Does the media come to our aid? Of course not, brown skin will never be humanized in this country as long as Jews are seeking sympathy for Israel. But to dose us with a double whammy by not only attacking us visually but also Hinduism itself, it is time to call HBO what it really is, an organized hate group that should be shunned and people there should be fired. A group organized to promote one race over another and simultaneous berate other races and religions that it doesn't like. It's time for HBO to practice what it preaches, its time HBO itself became diversified.

HBO is one of the few channels that would put a Michele Malkin and Anne Coulter on television. I see no difference between these two and David Duke. How in the world are they legitimate enough to get on HBO? Both of these women use skin color to berate races. How do these people get on television and a person who has similar views as them like David Duke does not? I will tell you the only difference between Anne Coulter/Michele Malkin and David Duke. That sole difference is Israel and Jews. From my point of view and this is something that media people, especially Jewish executives at HBO don't have, from my point of view these three people and throw in Daniel Pipes are exactly the same. All these people hate people that look like me and have my skin color. All these people would like nothing better to send us to internment camps. All these people would like nothing better to have separate laws for everyone who is brown. I would venture a guess that these people would like nothing better than to have us all, muslim or not disappear. That is why Daniel Pipes is trying so damn hard to incite riots. So why are Anne Coulter, Michele Malkin and Daniel Pipes legitimate? All you have to do is remove Jews from the list of people that you hate and the media has room for you, especially HBO.

Daniel Pipes calls London, Londonistan, a reference to the "brown skin" people living in London (Hindus, Muslims & Sikhs). Since when has it become acceptable to name a city with an ethnic slur? Didn't Jesse Jackson get buried for calling NYC "Hymietown"? And can we call NYC Hymietown or Jew York City now that Daniel Pipes is calling London, Londonistan? Who knows. Just goes to show you the double standard and silence at the various so-called anti-hate groups that are organized in this country. Apparently they believe that Jews are incapable of being bigots. Yet his articles are printed all across this nations editorials. ••••, wonder if David Duke can get that exposure since he has similar views to Daniel Pipes. Not a chance.

The HBO's of the world think that they can show some robot movie called "Short Circuit" to offset their racism against Hindus. So they sit in a conference room and say, "Just throw on Short Circuit" that'll prove we aren't racist. Too bad Short Cicuit isn't an HBO produced program. Nor does it help Hindus in America showing some thick accented nerd as a representative of Indians in America. We speak perfect English and are active in many of the same fields Jews are active in, except of course the media.

In a time when emotions and friction are high not only in this country but worldwide, why do media outlets like HBO inflame hate? Stirring the pot as they say? OK, HBO, we are more than aware and have gotten your message. All Jews are funny, kind, caring, loveable, etc. Most of your shows and documentaries communicate that message. A hitler/holocaust documentary or movie every six months. Yes, we get the picture. We also know you hate muslims...no new news there. You didn't need Bill Maher to get that point across, you did well enough on your own and so does your fellow tribe in Hollywood. Heck, you people made a symbolic 3-part 9 hour movie about the non-white hoards attempting to kill off the white people and dressed them up as muslims, hindus and blacks in Lord of the Rings. Then you showered it with awards!

In the end, the media like HBO is trying to inflame hate in America and their fellow media in the middle east are doing the same to their people. The greatest threat to world peace is not Israel, America, Iran or Iraq.... the greatest threat to world peace is the media. Look no further than what happened to that guy Van Gogh who made another in a long line of muslim bashing documentaries, he got killed for it. And now a free for all of hate is going on over there. This may make people happy who hate muslims, but it is just the beginning of more ethnic strife to come. Was van Gogh's documentary some cutting edge film on Islam? Of course not, it was designed to cause hate and stir the pot and stir it it did. There are more than enough books written by Jewish people on Islam sitting on Barnes and Nobles shelves than any other book on Islam , heck , they may even be outselling the Koran if anyone wanted to know about Islam. They can even tune into Daniel Pipes web site, he offers hate in about 6 or 7 languages.

I am not sure if the goal of our media is the same, but given HBO's track record, it is my belief that they are trying their best to promote themselves and incite hatred for people with brown skin to have what is happening in the Netherlands happen here. Since HBO finds it humorous and entertaining to see Hindus get harassed, that may very well be their goal. Afterall, the HBOs and the rest of the agenda pushers in the media aren't overt in their hate. Where David Duke may come out and say, "I Hate Jews and Niggers", the HBOs in AMerica just show 5 documentaries on Muslims/Hindus and taken together you can come up with the same conclusion. The HBOs of the world are more of a sophisticated type of hate.

So where's the NAACP? the ADL? The Diversity groups? No where to be found.

In the end, the HBOs and the media will eventually incite the public to start attacking us without fear. They want it desperately, because the more hate that is directed at brown skin in America, the better Israel does in public opinion polls. You do not have to look futher than to HBO's sister company, AOL's message board to see the atmosphere. Average Americans are boycotting what they perceive are Muslim owned businesses and even going as far as threatening severe backlash against muslims should another attack occur. So, I asked them how they will determine whether someone is Hindu or Muslim...are they gonna ask? In summary, "If it's brown, take it down" was the response, "They are all the same". Dont matter what you believe in. As the media here hides the 100,000 dead Iraqis, gives full page graphic coverage to burned contractors hanging from a bridge and the arab media DOES show all the carnage in Iraq, the world will head to ••••. I consider the beheadings and prison abuse a wash. In the end, our media, like the HBO's and their media like the Al Jeezeera will bring this world to an end. Both are hiding half the story and both are trying to get their readers and viewers to commit violence.

To those who are Asian and including Pacific Asians who received this •••••, I suggest you read my blog and see why is it that we are considered unassimilated in America. We are unassimilated because the HBO's of the world refuse to show us as they show themselves....average American people with real jobs and who speak perfect English. Don't believe me, go check out HBO's Deadwood. There lies the reason why Pacific Asians are constantly stereotyped in America. To the lawyers on this list, please notify me if there are laws or rules with the FCC regarding minority representation in the media or if there are rules prohibiting constant attacks against a particular religion or minority. To INPAC....you stated you wanted to be just like AIPAC. You may choose them over me and that is fine. But, do you really want to be like them? We are the most tolerant people on the planet with Jews, Buddhists, the Dalia Lama, Hindus, Sikhs all holding top positions in the Indian Government, we gave Jews a safe haven during their diaspora, yet they didnt even consider Indian Jews their own.

To those on this list in the Indian Media, I added you specifically to contact HBO in Asia and demand they cease their Hindu bashing in America. Why help these people peddle their hate? If they are moving up fast in India as an English speaking channel, do us a favor and kick them off the airwaves, it may save a life of your fellow Indian here in America. India opens it's doors to HBO, does HBO open it's management to Indians? •••• no.

In the end, if anyone wants to know why people become anti-semetic, you got your reason. It has nothing to do with jealousy, mental illness or any of the other reasons you write for it. It has to do with how you use the power you have obtained in America. You are now America's elite, something we are all striving for and with that status comes a responsibilty to act fair towards everyone, even Palestinians. Instead you have chosen to abuse that power and forward a bigoted agenda that may cross the line in terms of self-promotion. You owe every ethnic group and religion in this world more positive coverage than negative or at a minimum equal good and bad. You have failed this test, you failed it miserably because you dont care to address complaints directed at you and the way you handle your media. Instead you have become the American version of Al Jezeera lying to the public, hiding information and peddling secterian agendas.

For those Indians who still want to side with the Jewish community and emulate them, please remember...as the muslims go in America...so will the Hindu. Who knows who's next after that. The way these media people portray the muslims reflect directly on us and then add in the special racism directed specifically at us and you can see who really is on the low rung of the ladder in America. An undeserved spot for anyone, but at least other groups have organized groups and thinktanks to combat hatred directed at them whereas we have none. We have to rely on a group of people peddling their political and personal agendas and self promotion to do the right thing and they won't. Heck, they wont even admit they run the media.

Ask yourself why the media only shows dead white people regarding the Iraq War? Ask yourself why the media plastered dead Mercenaries hung from bridges in Iraq on the FRONT pages in graphic detail across newspapers around this country. Those pictures had brown people celebrating these deaths. Then ask yourself why the media did that? Its to anger the people living in the red states so that they get up off their chair and say, "Kill DEM SAND NIGGERS AND RAGHEADS". It served no other purpose and when the media, and it will do it soon, when the media drives the final nail in the American psyche or another terror attack occurs here because of the Iraq War, they aren't going to ask you if you are muslim before boycotting your business, harming you, pulling you from your car or killing you. They are going to go by what the media puts on TV. Yet, 100,000 dead Iraqis are no where to be found in the media. No pictures, no graphic pictures of dead babies, as a matter of fact the media is going out of their way to dispute the numbers. The same media and holocaust groups that called the Sudan a genocide at 50,000 dead are no where to be found with 100,000 dead in Iraq. Their silence is deafening, but their silence is do to the fact that they want this war and are hoping that Americans turn on its brown skinned citizens and that includes Hindus. There wont be any hiding places for us either in their basements. Take a look in the Netherlands, the Daniel Pipes who run the media are trying to cause that to happen here.

So what's next? Nothing, I'm sure HBO will contact AOL and get my name and address since they are all under the time warner umbrella. I'm sure my name will float around the Jewish community via ••••• and I will be targeted for character and career blacklisting. Bill Mesce's (HBO's consumer complaint chief) name magically appeared in my buddy list after I emailed him at his NON-AOL account, so somehow they tapped into my account at AOL already. That's fine, someone has to speak out and I for one know that Hindus are keeping how they are portrayed in the media to themselves. Go ahead and do what you want to me, you are trying to get people that look like me harmed, you are creating racist laws with your lobbying groups so that we are targeted by skin color and you attach race to a religion out of your venemous hatred of muslims. I am trying to save the lives of my people, people you want harmed here in America for a number of reasons but the biggest being Israel. So career blacklisting is the least of my worries, I am worried about Jewish people inciting the public to cause us harm, something that we are already experiencing due to your media presentations across all forms of media and your South Park friends did us and the Sikhs no favors with that little movie that you people are giving rave reviews.

Dont even get me started on outsourcing. But it's alot more hatred the media piles on our plate. Am I supposed to respect the Jewish community for all this? Yet it's guaranteed that I will be considered the bad guy here and HBO will get pissed off and increase their Hindu/Indian hatred. Afterall, no one is allowed to critisize the Jewish community in America..it's taboo. I'll take the blog down when HBO announces a high level hiring of a Hindu American at HBO. Thats the only deal I will cut with Time Warner. Till then, it will document HBO's hateful agenda and calls for boycotts against Time Warner. Maybe we should chuck their magazines in the garbage that we sell. If you have access to link generators and SEO I would appreciate a freebie to bump the blog to the top when someone types in HBO at google/yahoo. I'd prefer hyperlinks to "HBO" or "HBO is racist". Please distibute this •••••, surely 1 billion Indians can force these Nazis to stop their hatefest in the media. Also, to those in the Indian media, if you could dump this on the newswires I would appreciate it. It's time to speak out against this war and genocide occuring in Iraq and also to stop the American media from demonizing muslims, hindus, sikhs and everyone they hate because we look like Palestinians.

HBO is a microcosm of the rest of the media. A one sided agenda full of self promotion and sophisticated dehumanization of people with brown skin. No one can deny this. It's all done for Israel and the Hindu/Sikh is collateral damage.

prejudice, racism

by Meyer London Tuesday, Mar. 08, 2005 at 7:31 PM

Beware of labelling ethnic or racial groups as racist or hateful; this itself is racism. No group is without its ultra-rightists, racists and reactionaries. To cite one example that might not make you too comfortable, during World War II the Hindu Mahasabha in India adopted a strong pro-German position, linking the Nazi Aryan cult with Hindu nationalism.

I agree with you

by whocares Wednesday, Mar. 09, 2005 at 3:50 AM

Thats right pal, it is dangerous to label any group as monolithic. Yet Hollywood, newspapers and every other media outlet that these fanatical Israelis own in America dont seem to have a problem doing it. I can list 10 web sites run by Jew bastards that promote racial profiling and act worse than stormfront.org that not a single anti-hate group mentions and they dont mention it because it is run by jewish bigots.

Figures, typical Jewspeak, any criticism of their media however fucking obvious always results in them resorting to the 1940s, just like the previous commentor. Fuck your holocaust. It happened, it's done, muslims, hindus or buddhists didnt do it. It was all done by Jesus lovers...got it? And they were all WHITE.

Jesus killed all those people. Jesus has tried to eliminate you over and over and over again. So do us sand niggers a favor, turn your fucking jew cameras on the people you really need to fear. The same Jesus lovers that tried to eliminate all the Tutsis in Rwanda, the same Jesus lovers with their Jew masters that have killed 100,000 Iraqis.

You may want to pal up with right wing religious nutcases and empower them, but in the end it has always been the right wing religious nutcase that has tried to eliminate you from the planet. So continue empowering them, allowing them to pass their laws, remove standards in terms of how race and religion is portrayed in America and soon enough you Jewish fucks will end up at the recieiving end as well.

You Jewish bastards never learn when you have overstepped yourselves. Continue degrading the standards of race, if you think it will help your cancerous piece of shit country called Israel, go and do it. In the end, after they are done with us sand niggers, you will be next and no one will come to your aid and no one should.

Here's a solution, Achmed

You don't like HBO? Don't watch.

see past the paranoia

by more rational Wednesday, Mar. 09, 2005 at 3:56 PM

The guy makes a lot of good points. I agree with almost everything he's saying. Particularly about representations: almost no Indian person on TV is like any Indian person I know. They make it look like very South Asian is Apu at the Kwikee Mart. Please. Enough with the stupid sterotypes. It's 2005.

But for all its merits, the article is going to be clouded by the Jew-bashing. Not all Jewish people are racists or zionists with a grudge against palestinians.

Also, it's not just the Jewish people in the media with a hate against Hindus. It's also the other people, particularly whites, who have that history of colonization behind them. It can be other racial people too.

That said, the perspective of a formerly oppressed people who turned around and became colonists is going to be different from a group that regained its nation by ejecting colonists. There is a lot of truth in the essay.

Holocaust all done by whites

by Meyer London Wednesday, Mar. 09, 2005 at 5:03 PM

Sorry, stupid, but you are wrong again. Some of the extermination of Jews during the German invasion of the Soviet Union was carried out by Tatars who were either in the pay of the Germans or cooperating with them for one reason or another. These people were non-white, and were probably Muslim or in a very few cases Buddhist, at least by religious upbringing. In any event, this is irrelevant. Even if everyone who participated in the Holocaust had been white, it would not excuse your obvious anti-semitism, nor would it erase the stupidity of your posts, which are available to Zionists around the world to use as evidence that any attacks on Israeli policies are evidence of Nazi-like mentality.
