Anti-semitic Material Circulated

A former member of the Hitler Youth Movement is circulating a crude anti-Semitic pamphlet titled “President Carter and his Kosher Crowd” which alleges that “Jews rule America.” The pamphlet, published by “Liberty Bell Publications” of Reedy, W. Va., has turned up in various parts of the country in recent weeks, distributed, according to the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, by local neo-Nazi groups.

“Liberty Bell Publications” is a printing firm owned by George Dietz, described by the ADL as “the largest publisher of anti-Semitic literature in the U.S.” Dietz, the ADL said, is a German-born immigrant who finances his anti-Semitic activities from a successful real estate business in which he deals mainly in farm properties. According to the ADL, Dietz has admitted in print that he was a member of the Hitler Youth but there is no evidence to link him with war crimes.

His principal publications are “The Liberty Bell” and “White Power Report,” both of them rabidly anti-Semitic and racist but the latter more blatantly Nazi, the ADL said. The pamphlet alleging that “Jews control the government, the news, the money and the churches” in America first appeared in the December, 1977 issue of “The Liberty Bell” and is now being re-issued as a flyer.

It contains the names of 46 persons, each with a Star of David in front of the name. On top of the list is the statement that “These are some of the Jews who are formulating the policies of President Carter’s Administration.” Those identified include Stuart Eizenstat, Robert Lipschutz (sic), Michael Blumenthal, Harold Brown, James Schlesinger, Sol Linowitz, and Alan Dershowitz.

The pamphlet makes its pitch in rhyme: “If you think you’re worth your salt/help bring subversion to a halt/today your country needs a boost/conniving Jews now rule the roost….” It exhorts “Americans” to “start to fight….Unite, redeem your country.”
