"FBI Director Kash Patel ended the bureau's long-standing partnership with the Anti-Defamation League...."

"His announcement came after the ADL faced right-wing backlash for its web pages on the Christian Identity movement and Turning Point USA, the group founded by slain MAGA activist Charlie Kirk. Patel did not elaborate on why the FBI was severing its ties with the organization now.... 'James Comey wrote "love letters" to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans,' Patel wrote in a Wednesday X post. 'That era is OVER... This FBI won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.'... Following the wave of backlash late last month, the ADL moved to scrap its 'Glossary of Extremism,' which had included information on Kirk's group, saying it contained 'outdated' entries and that 'a number of entries' had been 'intentionally misrepresented and misused.'..."

What more elaboration did they need from Patel? They are a political activist group opposed to anyone in the way of their own agenda. That's it...

Peachy said...

Axios is also far left. Radical far left.

Leland said...

Why now? Why not much earlier?

Like Antifa, the ADL became what it said it was against.

doctrev said...

About time the Defamation League stopped being taken seriously. They were born evil and they'll die evil. But it's only a decent start, we need harsh crackdowns on the entire NGO sphere- luckily, those are in the pipeline.

Iman said...

FAFO.

narciso said...

ZOA is more reliable, JINSA as well,

narciso said...

ADL SPLC ACLU much the same all the way around

mccullough said...

Good call. Cut the Grifters loose.

Peachy said...

Southern Poverty law Center is a radical Soviet-Leftwing Bs org that places any group not loyal to the corrupt left on a "hate" list. ADL = same.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Good they had become a hate-cult themselves just like the SPLC.

narciso said...

o'sullivans or conquests law, those that are opposed to an organization's goals take it over,

he observed the Jewish sabbath for pete's sake,

Howard said...

I'm surprised that Peachy doesn't claim that Kash is a shill for Hamas.

ADL, Antifa, BLM, ACLU, NAACP, CAIR, SPLC et al

Pride spectrum, PP, and so on and so forth.

DEI, of course. Diversity (i.e.. class-disordered ideologies) are progressions from the past, which have no place NOW, too, today.

’…right-wing backlash…’

Those darned pouncing Republicans are at it again!!

Number of Antifa Terrorists Trump has killed so far: 0

The ADL is just another example of Robert Conquest’s 2nd Law of Politics, to wit: Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.

Achilles said...

Kash Patel is not doing enough. You can't be a company man for decades and do what actually needs to be done to the FBI.

He is soft pedaling everything.

Jamie said...

'a number of entries' had been 'intentionally misrepresented and misused.'...

By whom?

Achilles said...

"right-wing backlash"

We are doing what the Germans should have done in the 30's.

ADL + FBI collusion was evil. There are dozens of corporate slush funds where billionaires influence government agencies and buy government favor. They hire government children and friends and the National socialist movement thrives of this garbage.

Goverment and Corporate collusion to persecute and demonize Democrat Party and John McCain political opponents is evil.

These people are evil. Anyone who supports it is evil.

narciso said...

he never worked for the Bureau, the Augean stables cannot be easily mucked,

john mosby said...

Pity, because Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of ADL, was one of the few leading American Jews to come right out after 10/7 and unequivocatingly stand up for Israeli Jews and against Hamas. He continues to do so today.

But maybe the FBI uncoupling will wake him up and force him to realize he cannot serve two masters: Jewish defense and wokery. CC, JSM

narciso said...

and yet he still breaks bread with Hamas enablers like CAIR,

narciso said...

greenblatt was certainly someone who enabled this coletilla, little tail, that marks counter revolutionary organizations

n.n said...

ADL, SPLC, BLM, ACLU, NAACP et al still enjoy freedom of speech, but lose their appeal to authority. Separation of Corporation and government and all.

n.n said...

PP, too.

He has worked in government almost all of his career. He lived in DC the whole time.

It would be easy to fix the FBI. Fire everyone and start from scratch.

It does not do it's core job with any kind of competency. We wouldn't be missing much and we would save a lot of money.

But Kash worked in Government the whole time. He cannot envision a world without his government job or a job talking about his government job.

Beasts of England said...

’By whom?’

By their statement, it appears the the passive voice is to blame. These things happen…

Jamie said...

Heh.

Dude1394 said...

Kept the useful democrat smears until caught. Good job Kash.

narciso said...

there's a plague of lawyers who infest the courts, and then they hatch and become lawyers, and it takes 6 months to move some paper clips depending on Dread Pirate Roberts mood
(see Lisa Cook)

OT: Vote count: 47 Communist-Democratic Soviet bags of hot crap.

“ It would be easy to fix the FBI. Fire everyone and start from scratch.”

It would be easy to fix the deficit, cancel social security, Medicare and all poverty programs. Also unserious.

narciso said...

its not that easy, i call it a minefield, not a swamp, because there are loads of tripwires,

Imagine you are Satan. Who are you going to want destroyed, and who will you work with to get that done. Whether Satan exists or not, I think it's amazing how much the idea of him works in the human sphere, and how useful it is to imagine some power like that and how it would function. For sanity and script continuity, you need to imagine a force fighting against that, even if not seeing it, but still wanting to live a peaceful free life as much as possible.

narciso said...

well he would want people who prosecute God's people, who engage in licenciousness without conscience,

narciso said...

if you are to have a security service, then it should be headed by people who believe in the values of the country,

Hoover had many faults, but hatred of the country is not one of them, his successors were variations on meh, I suppose Freeh was reasonably good, and then evil the Comeys and Muellers,

Peachy said...

In the UK - the Radical Islamists and the radical Left have a common cause. A Murderous Satanic Keffiyeh wearing cult.

narciso said...

to the point that Wray was going after preachers like Mark Houck, for the crime of praying before Moloch's Mausoleums

Peachy said...

Antifa do not exist.

Big Mike said...

There is a large fraction of the American Jewish population that believes devout Christians to be their worst enemy. It is unfortunate that the ADL at this time seems to be firmly in their grip. The FBI can reconsider and reestablish a relationship if that changes in the future.

Ampersand said...

Midge Decter said in 1994 in Commentary Magazine, apropos of the ADL: "thus has an organization which is devoted to fighting bigotry against Jews, and which now claims to be undertaking a defense of pluralism, defined the sensibilities and convictions of some 50 million [conservative Christian] Americans as beyond the pale". The intervening 31 years have seen the ADL come to portray progressivism as the only permissible belief system, much more important than all that God stuff.

The Vault Dweller said...

The ADL is an unprincipled, dishonest, conniving organization. The sooner it loses whatever sway it has the better for the country.

Steven said...

Does this mean that the administration will stop using the ADL's expansive definition of "antisemitism" whenever it suits their purpose to abuse their political opponents?

bagoh20 said...

I bet the ADL office smells of sulfur.

Peachy said...

Yes - the corrupt left define themselves as god. You will obey them.

Antidefamation League and The Poverty Law Center; two grifters in a pod.

You can call it unserious. There is no real need for the FBI. It started as an antitrust investigation unit, but it morphed into what it is today in 1935 after bunch of losers who were trying to prohibit drinking in the early 30's lost their jobs busting moonshine and needed a government job.

The FBI has morphed into one of the worst government agencies ever created with very little to show for itself other than a constant persecution of government's enemies.

Math is going to fix all of those other problems you mentioned whether you want to fix them or not.

I ask a simple question; "What the hell is a federal law enforcement agency doing taking direction from an NGO?"
