This is one of the deeply-researched infographic reports I produced for a series that I unveiled, one per day, during the last 30 days of the 2024 election. See the report here. See complete directory here. Learn about why I created the series, and what I hoped to accomplish, here.
The first part of my career (1989-2001) was primarily devoted to applying my visualization design and writing abilities to develop key graphics, animations, videos for advertising, corporate communications, software and legal clients throughout the US & Southeast Asia. Learn more here.
The second part of my career (post-9/11) has been largely devoted to writing, designing and producing (a) investigative journalism, and (b) documentary videos. My investigative work has focused on creating deeply-researched original content that:
- Exposes threats to the security and prosperity of America and other free nations, especially Israel
- Combats the most consequential lies and erroneous perceptions that influential “public servants,” legacy “news” organizations, “educational” institutions and “celebrities” peddle
- Tell stories that establish basic realities that should be known by every functional high school senior, but today are all but unknown
My work in this regard has taken three forms. Highlights from each category are below.
(1) Investigative journalism — text
(2) Investigative journalism — infographic-focused

(1.1) This taxpayer-subsidized “adult baby” would be a good starting point for DOGE (2024)
In response to the emergence of DOGE as a functional investigative watchdog that Elon Musk would lead, I produced this investigative report as a suggested starting point:
This taxpayer-subsidized “adult baby” would be a good starting point for DOGE, by Jon Sutz, December 6, 2024
(1.2) Examples of previously-deported criminal illegal aliens who were able to walk right back into America (2024)
Background: Starting around 2013-2014, I started becoming aware of the escalating threats at the US southern border, how President Obama was enticing illegal entry onto American soil. As time went on, I also became aware of the shocking number of criminal illegal aliens who’d been deported 2, 5, 10, 20 or more times, were able to walk right back in and continued their criminal behavior. Most infuriating to me was the fact that the most powerful national “news” organs all but refused to report these stories, having apparently become convinced that it’s ‘racist” to do so. And within Republican circles, until recently it mostly ignored these cases.
My challenge: I became determined to create an array of responsibly-presented case studies that profile what President Biden and Vice-President Harris knew, before they effectively removed the US southern border to all-comers,resulting in nearly 13 million illegal aliens walking/sneaking back into America in their first 3 1/2 years in office. I then wanted to convert some of these case studies into infographics to promote the report.
The result: Fact Check 21: Examples of previously-deported criminal illegal aliens who were able to walk right back into America. Caution: Some of the reports on this page are very graphic.

PS: The majority of my Fox News-watching friends have never heard of most of the 30 incidents I present in my report. Based on my research and observations, if a survey were conducted that showed these case studies to everyday Americans above age 12, I speculate that fewer than 0.5% have ever heard of them.
(1.3) “FAKE NEWS: What it is, who’s creating it, how to identify it, and how to help stop it” (2018)
Background: I was not a news hound until soon after 9/11, and naively believed that the biggest Western news organs were sincerely dedicated to providing information and analysis that is free of partisan or ideological bias, unless it is was labeled as an opinion or editorial piece. Over time, however, I began to realize the subtle and overt ways that the “news” that Americans and others in the West receive is manipulated in order to advance unspoken, freedom-subverting agendas. In the wake of the 2016 presidential election (in which I did not vote — for the first time), this manipulation was laid bare — yet the perpetrators paid zero substantive price.
My challenge: To create an organized, evidence-packed, nonpartisan crash course for the general public throughout Western societies in understanding fake news, how to identify it as such, and help prevent it from metastasizing — particularly on social media. Over the course of several months, I produced this investigative report for the website I was editing at the time, SaveTheWest.com.
The result: Although STW did not have a big following, several influential journalists, journalism professors, and media and political figures cited it as a nonpartisan resource for anyone concerned about the quality of the news we receive. Ideally, I wanted to turn it into a documentary, but could not find backing; I attribute this to the balkanization of philanthropy, and the resentment of the fact that I called out Trump, as well as Clinton, and their media backers, for their contributions to spreading fake news.

Here is a slide show containing excerpts of fake news incidents cited in my report:
(1.4) “America At The Precipice”: A research report (2017-)
Background: Since the mid-1990s, I’ve been collecting and analyzing survey data and anecdotal information regarding Americans’ knowledge of, and perceptions regarding freedom vs tyranny, history, America, the US Constitution, economics, etc. The more data I saw, the more I became convinced that the approaches and tools being employed to fight for freedom, and to ensure Americans possessed essential civic knowledge, were not working.
My challenge: After 9/11, I became determined to figure out a way to organize all the data I was accumulating, and as time went on, to structure it to “tell the story,” in a logical, sequential format. of how badly our educational system and cultural institutions were failing us.
The result: My “America At The Precipice” research report, completed in 2017 (and updated periodically), analogizes our situation to that of the process of farming: of (a) preparing the soil, (b) planting the seeds of counter-knowledge, and then, (c) harvesting the “crops” that arise from the systematic sabotage and perversion of Americans’ minds and perceptions. Over the years I have shared “America At The Precipice” with numerous scholars, political figures and activists, who reported viewing it as a quality, one-stop resource from which to efficiently locate and cite specific data points to help advance their objectives.

(1.5) The “Anti-Capitalism Quote Quiz” (2018)
Background: For many years, I had a building curiosity about the similarities in the words that were used by such seemingly opposite entities, from revolutionary leftists to “liberals” to militant Islamists, to vilify capitalism, and capitalist nations — primarily America.
My challenge: In 2018, I began building a database of such statements, for use in a practical public-information application. I chose to present the “best” of these quotes — ranging from AOC to Bin Laden, Hitler to Michael Moore, and present them without attribution, so even the total newcomer could look at them, and begin to understand their common hatred of freedom, individualism, and voluntary interactions.
The result: The “Anti-Capitalism Quote Quiz”
(1.6) Top Democrats routinely employed what they now say is “white nationalist” language regarding border security (2019)
Background: Until 2014-16, many if not most top elected Democrats proudly stood for a secure border, orderly immigration, and protection of Americans from the crime and cost of illegal aliens. At some point, however, the most powerful among them made a strategic decision: to begin sabotaging our border security and immigration laws, and importing millions and millions of illegal aliens — and vilifying anyone who stood against them, increasingly calling such people and organizations “white supremacist,” even though the words they used closely mirrored those that Democrats themselves used until this turning point.
My objective: To compile a comprehensive accounting of such statements by top Democrats, which they now claim are the narratives of “white supremacists.”
The result: Top Democrats routinely employed what they now say is “white nationalist” language regarding border security. To my knowledge, this is the most extensive compilation of such quotes, many with video, each of which can be linked in external media and documents.
(1.7) Exposing the NY Times’s latest blood libel against the IDF & its research unit (2020)
In this expose, I address a NY Times Tweet that opened with a factual assertion that could well have been by Hamas, or ISIS:
“The Israeli Defense Ministry’s research-and-development arm is best known for pioneering cutting-edge ways to kill people and blow things up.”
At the time this incident occurred, I was deep into developing this resource page for my ILoveIsrael.me website: Israel’s humanitarian benevolence – even for enemies.
Section 3 documents some of the super-human, little-known lengths to which the IDF goes to figure out how to protect innocent civilians, even when terrorists are using them as human shields (or they are acting in that capacity voluntarily). One of the key items on this page is this interview that I conducted with a former IDF special forces soldier, Doron Keidar, focusing particularly on this aspect of IDF ethics:
“[W]e have what are called “purity of arms” (טוהר הנשק) instructions, which we receive when we are first issued our weapons. They are basic principles about when and how we can use our weapons. It is the ethical code that clarifies that our weapon is the last option and mainly for defense.”

(1.8) The LGBT filmmaker boycott of Israel is anti-Semitic and hypocritical” (2020)
This report exposes:
- The Palestinian LGBTQIA+ community is being oppressed — but not by Israel. To the contrary, Israel is the lone refuge in the entire Middle East for those in the Palestinian LGBTQIA+ community, to escape the systematic governmental and cultural terror inflicted on them in Muslim-majority environments.
- The anti-Semitic nature of this myopic boycott is revealed by the fact that these film professionals have said nothing about, let alone organized a boycott against China, which holds more than 1 million Uighur Muslims in bondage, and is both using them as slave labor, and forcibly “re-educating” them.
- This insidious, anti-Semitic, Islamist-protecting boycott can survive and gain support only so long as the general public remains unaware of these realities — especially who and what are actually the Palestinian peoples’ primary oppressors — and it is not Israelis.
Note: At the time news of this LGBT boycott emerged, I was nearing completion of this page for my ILoveIsrael.me website: Israel’s LGBT inclusion & protection. This page’s resources reduced the time necessary to create my report by 70-90%.

(1.9) Quotes: World’s worst mass-murderers on the vital importance of controlling a nation’s educational system (2018)
This report is a companion item to my “Anti-Capitalism Quote Quiz.”

(1.10) Why does Twitter enable Hamas to spread its propaganda? (2016)
In this report, I provide concrete examples of how Twitter allowed this US-designated terrorist group to:
- Maintain redundant. openly-labeled accounts
- Use the platform to incite terrorism against Jews, even though this content is a direct violation of its terms of use
Read the report at: Why does Twitter enable Hamas to spread its propaganda?
This is a companion item to: Facebook, Twitter continue enabling Palestinian orgs to incite, glorify terrorism against Jews
UPDATE, October 12, 2023: Twitter, now called X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, shut down “hundreds” of Hamas accounts.
(1.11) Can one file a police report about elementary school sex indoctrinators? Satire… sort of… (2022)
Background: Until recently, the thought of an adult being able to indoctrinate young children in sexuality or gender identity, or graphically depict various sex acts to them, or have men dressed as women doing “shows” for them… would have been unthinkable in America. As we’ve seen, however, an entire indoctrination “industry” has arisen, that has opened the floodgates, and is vigorously defended as a acts of “social justice.”
My challenge: I began wondering what a mother’s call to a police department might sound like if it were to report an individual doing these things to her young daughter — but then, the dispatcher discovers that the perpetrator is actually her kindergarten teacher, at which time the mother is advised of laws against “intolerance” of it.
The result: Can one file a police report about elementary school sex indoctrinators? Following the transcript of this faux call, is a list of news stories from around America and beyond, of the insane things to which our children are being subjected in our schools — and how, in some cases, their parents are being arrested for standing up against it.
(1.12) Ten vital facts about the refugee crisis that every American should know (2015)
The purpose of this special report is to present (and validate) ten of the vital facts that all Americans must know, so that we can intelligently assess the policies that are being formulated in our names, and being implemented with money taken out of our wallets:
Here are the first five:
(1) The vast majority of refugees are neither women nor children; rather, they are lone adult males. (This tactic, of using women and children as a façade, to obscure our view of what’s really going on, was implemented several years later, in regards to the “refugee crisis,” from Syria and Iraq, in the wave of ISIS’s rampage, which I documented here.)
(2) Only 26% of these “refugees” are from Syria or Iraq; 74% are from other Muslim countries, some of which are notorious for Islamist terrorism.
(3) ISIS has openly boasted that it has been smuggling thousands of jihadists into North America and Western Europe.
(4) An estimated 40 million+ Muslims in “refugee” countries support ISIS.
(5) A British journalist recently demonstrated how easy it is for a non-Syrian to buy a Syrian passport, so one can falsely pass oneself off as a “refugee.”

(2.1) Special report: The U.S. “news” media depicts an American terrorist and her son as “Madonna & Child” (2019)
Background: In the first part of my career, as an art director, I directed quite a few photo sessions for advertising and skills-training programs. I know what a staged photo-shoot looks like. When I first started seeing the images of ISIS terrorist Hoda Muthana with her toddler son emerge in the media in early 2019, I was very busy on other projects – but something nagged at me, that I’ve seen staged photos like this someplace before. Soon after, it came to me: the paintings of Madonna & Child.
My challenge: As a non-religious person, I’d never learned about these iconic paintings – but once I did, and pulled up various photos of how America’s supposedly nonpartisan “news” media was depicting her, and put these images side-by-side, the conclusion becomes inescapable: rather than telling the story of this terrorist, why she wants to return to America, and our government’s fight to prevent this, our MSM decided to effectively act as her PR firm.
My objective was to provide a visual crash-course for the American people on this mind-boggling betrayal of the American people, and especially, young American females, by our supposedly most responsible “news” organizations.
The result: I produced this slide show (source documentation here), to present:
- The validity of my assertion that these are not “news” photos, these are staged photos, designed from the ground up to evoke sympathy for Muthana and her son
- The deeper story of the “ISIS brides,” and the unspeakable atrocities they helped their husbands to perpetrate on female Yazidi slaves — in the victims’ own words
Here is the main link to the report and all supporting materials:
Special report: The U.S. “news” media depicts an American terrorist and her son as “Madonna & Child”
I also wrote letters to the heads of each of the major news organizations that engaged in this shameful behavior, outlining the specifics of what they did, to read my report, and respond with any measures they’re going to take to prevent such behavior in the future.
As a side note, I asked friends who admire my slide show, and who have adolescent-age female relatives, to:
- Ask what they know about ISIS, the Yazidis, and the threats among refugees from Syria & Iraq (also see my special report on this, here)
- Show them this slide show
- Ask them if this changed their impressions of the issue of accepting wave after wave of “refugees” from this region, without doing in-depth investigations into the backgrounds, character, etc. of those seeking to live in America
In every case, they indicated this was an eye-opener of great proportions.
I also shared my report with a number of top “women’s rights” and “social justice” groups — yet none would even respond, let alone share it on social media.
(2.2) Slide show: My “2024 Fact Check” infographic series
During the last thirty days of the US election season, I produced this series of 30 infographic reports, one per day, to help inform the American people of evidence-based information that I believed was essential for them to know, prior to stepping into the voting booth. Some reports were based on earlier items I’d published elsewhere; most were new.
Here is the full directory of reports, each of which contains the source data:

Two of my reports were featured on “Hannity,” the #1 most-watched prime time cable TV news-talk programs:

(2.4) It’s time to stop the lie that “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people”
 |
 |
 |
 |
Background: Since the 10/7 attack, I observed President Biden, Secretary of State Blinkin, the UN and various top US news organizations and Western leaders claim, “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people.” They insinuated that Hamas is to broader Palestine what he Ku Klux Klan is to Christian America: a weird, violent, ultra-fringe group of nutballs. They said these things despite repeated surveys of Palestinians, by Palestinian research organizations, that consistently show overwhelming majority support for Hamas, and its 10/7 attack, and its intent to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, I saw no news organization or activist group creating knowledge tools to expose these lies — which were being used as a pretext to promise to spend tens of billions of Western taxpayer dollars to build a Palestinian “nation,” that they claim will not be ruled by Hamas.
My challenge: I wanted to convert the essential clash between this lie, and the reality, in a visualization-based knowledge tool that anyone — even the indoctrinated college students who actually believe Hamas is the good guys — could understand. In late 2023 I pitched the idea to several news organizations and think tanks, but got no takers. By February 2024 I got so frustrated that I went ahead and created this knowledge tool, on my own.
The result: I published this slide show on February 29, 2024. It, and select slides from within it, have been shared by a small group of influencers, primarily on X.
See the full report at: It’s time to stop the lie that “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people”
(2.5) An overwhelming majority of Americans — including Hispanic Americans — oppose “sanctuary cities” (2024)
Until recently, I believed that a solid majority of Americans oppose “sanctuary cities,” those that pass laws prohibiting local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with ICE, in seeking to keep criminal illegal aliens off the streets, and out of the US.
I then discovered the reality, and wanted to help publicize it as part of my 2024 Fact Check infographic series.
See this report at: Fact Check 12: An overwhelming majority of Americans — including Hispanic Americans — oppose “sanctuary cities”
(2.6) The June 2024 Trump-Biden debate was held three months before any televised presidential debate in US history: Why? (2024)
Background: I Being a keen political observer, I watched, perplexed, as it was announced in April that President Biden and former President Trump would debate on June 27. Normally, I knew, the debates take place from late September through late November. I began to consider how many factors must have been moved, obstacles overcome, and negotiated rules agreed to, before this could happen. But why, I kept asking, did this happen three months early?
My challenge: I wanted to to produce a report that walks the newcomer step-by-step through the normal schedule of presidential debates, and provides context with which to begin to understand what an anomaly this is. I also provide my evidence-based speculation as to what’s was really occurring, and how this incident related the the whole effort to compel Biden to drop out, then install Vice-President Harris as the “new nominee,” bypassing our democratic laws and procedures — as if she were magically anointed, by a king or authoritarian.
This report was part of my 2024 Fact Check infographic series.
(2.7) Which party is more provably supportive of fascism and anti-Semitic terrorism? (2024)
Background: Since 2015, I’d been compiling open-source data on the fact that the top leaders of the Democratic party (often in collaboration with their Republican counterparts) were the #1 cash enablers of the Iranian terrorist regime. Example: I created this page to serve as a backstop for a major report I wrote, that exposed the “key digital compadre” that the Obama administration relied on to help trick America into accepting the fraudulent Iranian nuclear “deal.”
My challenge: After top Democrats, and their media allies, insidiously liked a late October 2024 Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to the Nazis’ 1939 rally at MSG, I wanted to shine a spotlight on the data that shows it is the Democratic Party, under Biden-Harris, that is in fact the chief enabler of the Iranian terrorist regime.
The result: This highly-detailed report, centering on a four-frame infographic slide show: Fact Check 24: Which party is more provably supportive of fascism and anti-Semitic terrorism?
This report was part of my 2024 Fact Check infographic series.
(2.8) Is it true that many of the marchers in the “caravans” are women & children? (2018)
Background: In 2018, “caravans” of tens of thousands of foreign nationals traveled 1,000 miles through Mexico to reach the US southern border, where they demanded entry, without applying to emigrate here, through proper channels. The “news” media, for its part, ran endless graphic headlines, of weeping women and children, implying that they constituted a large portion, if not a majority, of the “caravan” marchers. In reality, women and childre were a minuscule minority, who were used to obscure the public’s view of the fact that the overwhelming majority were fighting-age males, from more than 160 nations around the world. This tactic, of using women and children as a façade, to obscure our view of what’s really going on, was implemented several years earlier, in regards to the “refugee crisis,” from Syria and Iraq, in the wave of ISIS’s rampage, which I documented here.
My challenge: To convert the research that I’d compiled into a completely nonpartisan, sober walk through the evidence, for the complete newcomer.
The result: This infographic slide show was part of a larger special report that I produced that documented some of the endless lies and deceptions that the American “news” media engaged in, to help facilitate this one illegal migrant invasion after another, “Who benefits from the lies being spread about the ‘caravans’?”
(2.9) Hate Crimes In America” (2015)
My purpose in creating this report was to expose a lie that had become popularized in preceding years: that America is an “Islamophobic” nation, in which Muslims face uniquely high risk of being victims of hate crimes.
In reality, then as now, Muslims are among the least-likely victims of hate crimes, while Jews are not only the #1 target of hate crimes in America, in New York they are targeted more than all minority groups combined. Here is the summary slide show that I produced:

(2.10) How big is Israel, compared to the rest of world? (2021)
As part of my ILoveIsrael.me project, I wanted to create a very simple series of infographics, to illustrate that contrary to popular myth, Israel is but a tiny sliver of land, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of square miles, of nations and regimes that want to destroy it.

(3.1) “TWITTER EXPOSED: TALIBAN” mini-documentary (2022)
Background: In 2021-22, I created a fundraising campaign to help rescue US allies’ families who were abandoned in Afghanistan. See the back story of why I created the Afghan Ally Rescue Campaign here. Twitter sold my sponsor a promotion to boost the campaign’s visibility, but instantly shut it down, as a “violation of policies,” but would not tell us which policies, or how to fix them. Twitter did this at the same time as it was profiting by enabling… the Taliban’s leaders.
My challenge: To transform the basic facts about this incident, and those of other incidents of mind-boggling bias by Twitter’s previous management, into a format that the average adolescent could understand, and relate to their own life.
The result: This 12-minute mini-documentary, which I wrote, designed and produced, based on a vast array of openly-cited physical evidence. Learn the details here. This video went live on 9/11/22.
(3.2) “The Huffington Post’s Anti-Semitic Bias and Incitement During the Third Intifada” (2016)
This 44-minute documentary, which I wrote, designed, produced and narrated, was hailed by the watchdog group CAMERA, author Melanie Phillips, terrorism analyst & professor Ryan Mauro, and other notable figures, in this 2-minute video. Excerpts:
- “This forensic debut video… details the systematic way in which the Huffington Post whitewashes Palestinian terrorism, dehumanises its Jewish victims and incites hatred against Israel. A sobering analysis which sheds valuable light on the deranged prejudice against Israel and the Jews now endemic in the West.”
– Melanie Phillips
- “This documentary… is both chilling, and a work of art. It provides evidence of what appears to be Huffington Post’s intentional misrepresentation and distortion of events in Israel. […] By the end of the documentary, Arianna Huffington’s proclamations about the Post’s commitment to objectivity and providing quality news coverage lie in tatters.”
– Steve Stotsky, Senior Research Analyst, CAMERA

The documentary was released on March 1, 2016. Here is the full version:

I also produced several slide shows that contain key source evidence (more documentation here):
(1) This slide show exposes how HuffPost showers personalized, graphic, name-specific global sympathy on Palestinians who allege — without proof — they were victims of unprovoked Israel aggression:
(2) This slide show illustrates some of the (proven) Jewish victims of the Third Intifada, not one of which HuffPost gave any coverage to:
(3.3) “HuffPost’s Dehumanization of Capt. Taylor Force” (2016)
This 17-minute documentary, which I wrote, designed and directed, exposes how HuffPost:
- Dehumanized a beloved U.S. combat veteran, Capt. Taylor Force, who was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist — while at the same time, super-humanizing ISIS terrorists, sad celebrities, and animals
- Ignored the broader wave of Palestinian terrorism against Jews occurring at the time, while whitewashing and championing the Palestinian terror narrative.
This documentary was released on April 13, 2016 — six weeks after the release of my earlier documentary, “The Huffington Post’s Anti-Semitic Bias and Incitement During the Third Intifada” (above).
It was the first documentary that focused on Capt. Force after his murder, and helped spur momentum towards passage of The Taylor Force Act in Congress, which cut off US taxpayer funding of the Palestinian Authority until and unless it demonstrably stops using it to incite and reward terrorists, and their families.

(3.4) “Celebrity Walls vs the Democratic Narrative” (2019)
Background: Throughout 2017-2018, an increasing number of celebrities were making public statements condemning efforts to enforce America’s immigration and border laws, especially by constructing physical barriers along areas of the US southern border in which a flood of foreign nationals were illegally entering. “Racism,” they cried. “Everyone is welcome here,” they insisted. I became extremely frustrated with the inability of those who opposed these celebrities from making a cohesive, evidence-based argument as to why, in view of the American people who do not consume conservative media.
My challenge: To create a way to demonstrate the stunning hypocrisy of these celebrities — who champion open borders as a moral imperative, yet personally live behind big walls, to protect them their property from unauthorized entry. I believed that this principle — of the obligation to protect oneself and one’s property — properly presented and supported with reliable evidence, could open the eyes of reasonable people from across the political spectrum, especially in regards to repeatedly-deported criminal illegal aliens who are able to walk right back in, 5, 10, 20 or more times, continuing their lawless behavior.
The result: I researched, wrote, designed and produced this six-minute video, which was published on January 3, 2019:
(3.5) “HuffPost exposed: Its lies, hyper-leftist hate speech, and incitement to violence” (2017)
Background: For reasons I’ll share with qualified inquirers, I’d been tracking and documenting HuffPost’s increasing commitment to peddling hate, lies and incitement since 2008. In fact, my work in this regard led a media figure to connect me with Andrew Breitbart, the co-creator of the site, who was also gravely troubled by the poison that HuffPost was injecting into America’s consciousness, and especially, that of our young people — despite publicly insisting that it is a completely nonpartisan, professional “news” organization.
My challenge: In June 2017, after a fanatical leftist attempted to assassinate a group of Republican members of Congress during practice for the annual Democrat-Republican softball game, I wanted to produce a short video that illustrated HuffPost’s role in helping to incite — and morally justify — leftist stalking, harassment and violence against their political adversaries, as well as general violent anarchy.
The result: My efforts resulted in this 4:13 minute video, which is broken down into two parts:
00:00-02:08: A sampling of HuffPost’s top-of-the-front-page headlines, containing deranged hate, libels and incitement against Republicans — as contrasted to key quotes from its leadership, that it does not allow such content
02:09-04:13: A sampling of HuffPost’s publication of explicit incitement and justification of violent political anarchy, along with a list of some of its blue-chip corporate advertisers.
See the documentation behind the video here.
Trivia: The music I selected was from the transit bus scene in “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.”
(3.6) “Which Abbas?” (2014)
I made this video anonymously in 2014, after I watched the Western “news” media:
- Gush over PA dictator Mahmoud Abbas finally acknowledging, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, that it was “a heinous crime,” yet…
- Avert its eyes from Abbas’s pattern of lying, and incitement of anti-Semitic hatred and terror, with the stated objective of destroying Israel
- Depict Israeli PM Netanyahu as the obstacle to peace, because he rejected Abbas’s benevolent gesture
I created a brief proposal to see if I could get institutional support to write and produce a blockbuster injection into the public consciousness of the reality of Abbas, as opposed to the gauzy-lensed way the MSM was depicting his statement, particularly in short video snippets on the nightly news and social media.
The response I got, from several veteran pro-Israel scholars and diplomats who held medium-to-high positions in Israel-supporting nonprofits was to ask me to not create such a video. The reason? Because if I do too good of a job of exposing Abbas — in terms that, as I said, any sensible but uninformed person, or adolescent, can grasp — he might be pushed out of office through internal and external pressure, and his replacement could be far worse for Israel.
I was in disbelief, and asked, in summary: “So you mean it’s better to allow the world to operate according to a fantasy, and stand mute while the MSM presents this whitewashed version of the man at the help of an anti-Semitic terrorist regime?” The answer I received was, paraphrasing, “Yes, we need to be pragmatic.”
Being that I have little in the way of formal education, and my contacts had vast academic credentials, and pictures with various world leaders, I was intimidated.
Ultimately, I decided to go ahead and, on a self-funded, rushed basis, do the best job I could, to create an evidence-driven rebuttal to the MSM’s depiction of Abbas. Here was the result (9 minutes). More follows beneath the video.
As a follow-up, I also produced this item for The Gatestone Institute, under the same pseudonym, “John Ryan”*:
Eight Crucial Questions for Abbas (and One for President Obama) – Gatestone Institute
(*For reasons I’ll disclose to qualified parties, from 2008-2014, my work to defend Israel, and expose those who are at war with her, was produced under pseudonym; since then, all of my work has been under my own name, or anonymously.)
(3.7) “The Wadi’a Maswada Hoax” (2013)
Background: On July 12, 2013 major elements of the Western and Arabic “news” media engaged in a campaign to elicit sympathy for a 5-year-old Palestinian boy, Wadi’a Maswadah, whom they claimed was “arrested” or “illegally detained” by the Israeli military. The furor began after videos were posted by an anti-Israel “human rights” group, that depict the boy erupting in a crying tantrum, amidst heavily-armed Israeli soldiers. In reality, the boy was caught throwing rocks at passing Jewish cars, the Israeli soldiers stopped him, brought him to his home, waited for his father, then delivered them to the Palestinian Authority police. What these “news” entities and “human rights” group did not present, however, is the names and stories of any of the Jews who have been maimed and killed as a result of Palestinian rock-throwing — including 3-year-old Adele Biton, who was left with traumatic brain injury just four months earlier.
My challenge: To develop a resource that exposes the reality behind this anti-Israel propaganda campaign, in plain language, and replete with supporting evidence. I approached numerous Jewish nonprofits, but could get no support. I then approached an Israel-supporting think tank, and obtained a small budget to: (a) create a short documentary about this incident, and (b) build a basic website to contain the supporting evidence. My only condition was that, because of factors I’ll share with qualified inquirers, at this time I was only able to engage in this work under pseudonym.
The result: This 7:30 video exposes this deception, and presents other victims of Palestinian rock-throwing who are generally unknown in the West. It also presents key questions – including how Western taxpayers feel about being forced to provide money that enables the Palestinian incitement and child indoctrination campaigns that lead directly to this barbarity – and why the “news” media all but refuses to publicize that fact. The evidence used to make this video is located at: The 2013 Wadi’a Maswadah Hoax | The Truth About Palestinian Rock-Throwing.
