As we look back in history, we all know that, had we lived in the days of the original witch hunters, we would have stood up for those who were falsely accused. Right? Nope. Most of us would either have shut our mouths, rather than risk being called witches ourselves, or have been brainwashed into believing that the accused really were witches.

Why would we, good people that we are, have let the hysteria grow, and why would we have allowed the witch hunters to kill innocent people? To understand that, we need to understand a little about the human mind and how easy it is to plant suggestions in the subconscious of many people.

This is the stock in trade of stage hypnotists and propagandists of all stripes. In the case of stage hypnotists, what the hypnotist does from the first moment he's on stage is to look out into the audience and start assessing who would be good subjects. He looks for eager open faces, for people who seem almost to be jumping out of their seats to close with him, and for those who smile at him and appear focused on him. These are people who are easy to hypnotize. They want to be hypnotized, and the stage hypnotist merely has to authorize what they want. After he hypnotizes one, others are even easier to hypnotize because now they really are true believers. Mass hysteria takes over.

In the case of those propagandists who make their living in pushing products and services--advertising, marketing, public relations, and sales people--the techniques are pretty much the same in that, to be effective, they must plant some thought in the subconscious minds of the target market, a thought that will lead many people to buy the product or service.

Take that little knowledge of the subconscious and how stage hypnotists and propagandists work, add in some knowledge of hidden neuroses (sometimes masked by do-goodism) and apply these to various mass delusions we have seen in history and you start to see patterns in these things.

The present-day witch hunters--let's call them Hate Hunters (at least the ones we're concerned with here)--are after hate-crime perpetrators, and like their intellectual (?) forbearers, they look for certain signs to prove the guilt of the person they are targeting.

The first sign to be sought is white skin. In the minds of the Hate Hunters, white skin is an almost sure indicator of hate. Any time a white person gets into a traffic altercation with a non-white person or is involved in any sort of little spat with any non-white, the white is put in the position of having to prove he doesn't "hate" various minorities. In such circumstances, we see whites often blubbering: "Some of my best friends are ....," or similar sentiments. After being put through the wringer where the white humbles himself to prove that he doesn't hate, we will often see these whites, who may have been in the right over the altercation, put their tails between their legs and slink off after giving effusive thanks that they are not being prosecuted for the "hate crime." By now they feel guilty, even though they may have done nothing wrong.

Since most alleged hate crimes are confined to local geographic areas and do not make the national press, many white people are unaware of the hysteria that is being created as these Hate Hunters do their dirty deeds against good decent white people.

A couple of years ago, the compliant me-too press was quick to print a woeful tale of hate coming from Huntington Beach, California. The headlines were so large and the story had so many legs that you might have thought someone had given our secret missile technology to the Chinese Communists (sorry, that example was not really about an important matter, was it?). What happened was a Jewish family found a six-foot burning cross in their yard.

Well, it took all of about two minutes for the Hate Hunters to rush in and declare it a hate crime. Oh, there was much breast beating and rending of flesh in Surf City over this horrible act. One can imagine that the City Council was probably getting ready to sing "We Shall Overcome" and hold candle vigils.

Then it was revealed that the Jewish family's own 15-year-old son was behind the act because he was mad at his parents. It was just a juvenile prank.

Oops.

Just one innocent little mistake in the rush to judgement against Anglo-American white Gentiles, right? Wrong. It happens all the time. Not too long ago, also in southern California, a Latino youth claimed he had been beaten by a bunch of white skinheads. It was later discovered, after many press stories where the usual neurotic cat ladies sans cats were allowed to bemoan hate to all who could read, that the Latino youth had made up the story and that there was no skinhead attack at all.

Oops.

But the witchcraft/hate-crime hysteria just goes on and on. Consider recent events in tony Newport Beach, California, as another example of the silliness that's going on.

A white Anglo and a Latino student got into a fight at a high school at about noon. By the end of the day, the Hate Hunters had labeled the fight a hate crime. The white, of course, was the hater and hate criminal. Why? Because he's white, of course. Don't even ask, or you too will be labeled a hater and hate criminal. After school officials and the police investigated, it turned out that the fight was just one of those teenage spats and had nothing to do with hate.

Oops.

Surprised at the quick action by the Hate Hunters? You shouldn't be. These Hate Hunters all across the nation, usually acting as arms of the government or as semi-governmental entities under various official sounding names, are usually quick to find hate crimes whenever a white is involved with a non-white in virtually any type of altercation. The Hate Hunters, however, have a very hard time finding hate going the other way, i.e., non-whites committing hate crimes against whites. This is odd, since whites are victims of cross racial violence far more than any other group.

These Hate Hunters apparently live in that strange Liberal wonderland world where all whites are evil and out to get everyone who is non-white or of a different religious faith. To those of the Hate-Hunter mind set, whites are apparently mostly neo-Nazis and non-whites are all helpless innocents just trying to work hard to make better lives for themselves so they can salute the flag.

And what about those little matters of illegal aliens, gangs, obscene graffiti, assorted violent crimes, almost daily gang shootings, and various other social problems that mostly have non-white faces? Oh, don't mention those things; that would be insensitive. The reat problem, don't you know, is white hate and white racism.

When a black man was killed by a white youth in a California beach city a couple of years ago in an incident where testimony indicated the black man may have physically attacked the white youth, the Head Hunters quickly rushed into the local community and caused such an uproar about "skinheads" that shoppers started staying away from the stores in the community. It was mostly nonsense, but the hysteria that was created quickly started hurting the business of downtown merchants.

Once these merchants started complaining to the city about the absurd hysteria, the great skinhead menace was gone, overnight. It seemed almost magical. Of course, the great skinhead menace didn't disappear because any "skinheads" left the area, but because the whole matter was mostly hype to begin with. The hysteria had been whipped up, was spread, and then sustained by the local press that was only too happy to print whatever the Hate Hunter "experts" said. Like our aforementioned stage hypnotist, it became easier to hypnotize the masses after they saw the positive reinforcement from the press and from the culled comments of other "citizens just like themselves."

A striking contrast to the way the Hate Hunters acted in the aforementioned death of the black was shown by their utter silence when, at about the same time in the same city, two white youths were shot dead by a non-white.

The Hate Hunters were also out in the Midwest in a story that made the national press. It seems that a non-white woman claimed that she had been beaten up by white akinheads (they seem to be under every bed) who carved a swastika on her stomach before they burned down her business. The story was fishy, but the local neurotic cat ladies jumped on the matter and held marches for tolerance and candle light vigils. Soon just about the whole white town was showing their disgust over white hate. Then it was revealed that the woman had made up the story and had cut the swastika into her flesh herself, and that she had burned down the business to collect insurance money.

Oops.

Then there was the case of Tawana Brawley.

Oops.

Or how about the stories of burning black churches, supposedly at the hands of whites, that was all the rage in the me-too press a couple of years ago? It was later shown that just as many white churches had been burned down and that, in both the black and white burnings, race was selsom a factor and that many of the churches were torched by people who attended the churches and for a variety of reasons, including personal grudges, insurance money, and attempts to gain recognition.

Oops.

The problem is that the Hate Hunters and the easily suggestible people who are so quick to believe them are hypersensitive to allegations of even the smallest slight or sidewise glance from a white to any non-white, but are blind to even the most egregious physical attacks from non-white to white.

Of course, there is more to this than just a matter of certain people hating whites (although there are plenty of those also), because the mental aberrations of those behind much of this hysteria are virtually the same as those behind various other hysterias in history.

Like good subjects for a stage hypnotist, too many people are easy marks for having suggestions planted in their subconscious minds. Once it was the belief in witches that was planted, now its the belief that many, if not most, whites are haters and racists.

Like a termite inspector who must find termites to stay in business, these neurotics behind much of the hysteria, in every age, always seem to be able to find witches, hate criminals, and white racists. Truth be damned. They know what they know, and they're often able to mask their neuroses by their "good intentions."

Unfortunately, these anti-hate neurotics appeal to the darkest fears of people and whip up mindless hysteria that triggers violent acts by some of their neurotic and psychotic followers. In mid-June, a black man named Steven Johnson shot three people in a bar in New York and tried to set patrons on fire after dousing them with kerosene. His reason? He was "ranting about white people and vowed revenge for thousands of years of suffering." No doubt, the black man learned his hate from Hate Hunters.

In Virginia last year, a little white one-year-old boy who was simply playing in his front yard, was murdered by a black who hated whites. No doubt, the black man learned his hate from the hate hunters.

In New York, a couple of years ago, black Colin Ferguson murdered whites on a subway train because he hated whites. No doubt, he learned his hate from Hate Hunters.

In South Carolina, a few years ago, the black husband of a famous black author committed suicide because he believed white racists were after him. It was nonsense, and the man was clearly paranoid. How did he get that way and what fed his paranoia? The Hate Hunters. He had internalized their hateful message and believed it to the point that killing himself seemed better than facing "racists."

These types of acts are the natural result of the hysteria whipped up by the anti-hate bigots, who in a saner age, would probably all be thrown in padded cells so they could live out their hate-hunting fantasies away from sane people. These Hate Hunters are teaching hatred.

Hold your wallets, the Anti-Hate Bandwagon and Medicine show is coming to your city, and it will built up hysteria with community meetings on tolerance, with meetings with students to discuss diversity, and through the efforts of various Liberal neurotics in your city. They will be enabled in their evil by a compliant press, which will dutifully hang on every word from the "experts."

Lately, it seems that some of the Hate Hunters have decided to expand their fund raising and their spewing of their anti-hate hatred through peddling a new kind of anti-hate, and they're now attacking American citizens who want immigration reform. Their rhetoric is strident and evil, and they are whipping up anti-American sentiment among illegal aliens.

The way to fight these Hate Hunters is to shine the light of truth on them and show them up as the neurotics that they are. Reject the Hate Hunters and their hatred.
