Ward Churchill.

Ward Churchill is not a half breed.  It has come out since his statements after 9/11 that the tribe he was supposed to have belonged to, he didn't at all.  The fact is, he was an *honorary* member and he is not Native American at all. They have since disowned him.  In other words, it was a lie.  He is a fake.   He used his supposed Native American status to take advantage of Affirmative Action in order to get through school.  He is also a plagarist. A little about Ward Churchill. Lurker, you may well be the only Native American who still thinks Ward Churchill is Native American other than himself. 

• Professor of Ethnic Studies at University of Colorado, Boulder
  
• Regards the victims of 9/11 as Little Eichmanns
  
• Regards America as a genocidal nation
  
• Falsified his Indian background to qualify for an affirmative action position in Ethnic Studies
  
• Accused of plagiarism
  
• Lamented that the terrorism of 9/11 proved insufficient to accomplish its purpose of destroying the United States. Commented: What the h**l? It was worth a try.

Thanks in large measure to the impassioned public outcry prompted by an invitation to speak at Hamilton College to replace the previously invited convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg, the disquieting (but by no means untypical) aspects of Ward Churchill's career became common knowledge. The hundreds of professors and thousands of students who supported him in the wake of the public outcry are an indication of the degree to which Churchill is the symbol of a much larger problem.

Ward Churchill has a BA and MA in Communications from Sangamon State, an experimental school for student radicals in Illinois. His academic expertise is as an artist. Yet on the basis of his claim to be a member of the Ketoowah Cherokee tribe (it has since been revealed that the membership was honorary and has been revoked and that Churchill is not an Indian) the PhD-less Churchill was made a tenured Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and head of the Department.

Professor Churchill's moment of fame came when an essay he had written was disclosed in which he waxed rhapsodic about the September 11 terrorist attacks as chickens coming home to roost, while vilifying the innocent victims inside the World Trade Center as little Eichmanns. The article was known to UC Boulder officials long before, and considered normal academic fare. Less well known is the fact that Professor Churchill's academic career and academic oeuvre was built around the theory that the United States is a genocidal nation, worse than Nazi Germany because its genocides began with its settlement and have continued to the present.

Professor Churchill regards American history as one unbroken procession of genocidal tyranny, beginning in 1492, which unleashed a process of conquest and colonization unparalleled in the history of humanity. Always ready to draw sinister parallels with Nazism, Churchill routinely equates Columbus with Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler. He titled a 1997 book A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 through the Present. Other Churchill books, among them Fantasies of the Master Race (1992) and Colonization and Genocide in Native North America (1994), also equate the United States with Nazi Germany. Past students at the University of Colorado have reported that Churchill's conception of America as the newest rendition of the Third Reich invariably finds its way into his lectures, particularly in the undergraduate class he teaches titled, American Holocaust.

While defending his notorious article and utterances as free speech, Professor Churchill himself has been accused of stifling -- once by violent means -- speech he did not like. In 1993, following his ouster from the radical American Indian Movement, Churchill reportedly retaliated by spitting in the face of the Movement''s elderly leader, Carol Standing Elk, while a younger accomplice broke her wrist. Ten years later, Professor Churchill and his political allies attempted to obstruct a Columbus Day Parade in Denver. He was acquitted by like-minded judges who accepted his claim that a parade celebrating Columbus was tantamount to hate speech.

In Professor Churchill's view, revolutionary violence against oppressive America is not only justified, it is indispensable. One of the things I've suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s are necessary. This seems like such a no-brainer that I hate to frame it in terms of actual transformation of consciousness. Lamenting that the terrorism of 9/11 had proved insufficient to accomplish its purpose of bringing the United States to its knees, Churchill shrugged, What the hell? It was worth a try. 

When I started out it was 'U.S. out of Vietnam,' he declared in an August 2004 speech, and then that was changed and it became 'U.S. out of Indochina,' and then it became 'U.S. out of Southern Africa,' and it was 'U.S. out of the Caribbean and Central America,' and then it became 'U.S. out of the Persian Gulf.' I agreed with every one of those, but ultimately there's only one way that any of them will be possible and that is: US out of North America, U.S. off the planet, and take Canada with you when you go!

Professor Churchill's hatred for America is really a projection of self-hatred. He is an Anglo-Saxon white man posing as an Indian. An in-depth genealogical investigation tracing Churchill's ancestry back over 100 years, conducted by the Rocky Mountain News, concluded that there is no evidence of a single Indian ancestor in Churchill's long family history in America. Churchill nonetheless describes himself in the following way: Although I'm best known by my colonial name, Ward Churchill, the name I prefer is Kenis, an Ojibwe name bestowed by my [Native American] wife's uncle. Far-Left presses have obligingly released books by the Keetowah Cherokee activist, Ward Churchill. In a recent speech in Vancouver, Churchill introduced himself thus, I have to say, I have to bring you greetings from the elders of the Keetoowah Band of Cherokee, my people. Not exactly: the Keetoowah Band, in which Churchill and Bill Clinton once had honorary memberships has disowned Churchill as an imposter.

Imposture is likewise the distinguishing feature of Churchill's academic work. A two-month investigation of the professor's scholarly portfolio, carried out by the Rocky Mountain News in June of 2004, revealed that Churchill had a long history of inventing historical facts to suit his polemical purposes, and on numerous occasions had passed off the work of others as his own. Among the paper's findings: Churchill baselessly accused the U.S. army of spreading smallpox among Missouri Indians in 1837, brazenly citing books that expressly contradict his claims; published a 1992 essay taken almost verbatim from the work of Canadian professor Fay Cohen, over Cohen's objections, and on at least four other occasions, had claimed credit for the work of others. Churchill could produce no evidence to disprove the paper's findings. Instead, in characteristically mendacious fashion, Churchill sought to explain away his serial plagiarism as harmless creative editing, not dissimilar, according to Churchill, to the efforts of a rewrite man at a newspaper who edits articles as he sees fit.

As a tenured professor in the field of American Indian studies at the University of Colorado, a position for which he has no evident qualifications, Churchill takes home a  $115,000 annual salary (for teaching three hours a week), not counting benefits and speaking fees.

MARCH OF THE TITANS -

A HISTORY OF THE WHITE RACE

Chapter 64:The Racial State - The Third Reich

Part Four: The "Final Solution": Nazi Policy towards Jews

The Third Reich and Adolf Hitler will always be associated with an outburst of anti-Jewish sentiment not seen since the Crusades or the Middle Ages. Despite countless books and films having been created on the actual anti-Jewish activities themselves, almost none have focused on trying to explain why Hitler and the Nazi Party were anti-Jewish.

Nazi anti-Jewishness was based on three pillars:

• First, Jews were identified with political subversion and Communism in particular. (See chapter 61:"Jews and Communism") As outlined earlier, this sentiment was by no means a Nazi invention, and had been written about in public by Winston Churchill and a host of others including Henry Ford in America;  the political subversion of which Jews were accused ranged from the fantastic (the Protocols of Zion) to the promotion of pornography, racial mixing, degenerate art ("modern art") and other issues identified as problematic by the Nazis;

• Secondly, the Nazis associated Jews with super capitalism and economic exploitation. This descended directly from the traditional and pre-Christian objections to Jews. Hitlerian anti-Jewishness also accentuated the links between Jewish super capitalists and Communism, personified by the financing of the 1917 Russian Revolution by the American Jewish banker Jacob Schiff; and

• Thirdly, the Nazis associated Christianity with Jews, arguing that this religion was the product of Middle Eastern thought and not native Europe. The Nazis did not however dare to attack Christianity openly, rather leaving it alone to wither by itself, something that has to a large degree started to become reality by the end of the 20th century. Nonetheless, if the private comments of Hitler himself on Christianity are read, it can be seen that Hitler clearly identified Christianity with Jews.

 Only in this light can an understanding of the motivating factors behind the state that Hitler created be gained: a tradition of anti-Semitism going back centuries, modern political thought associating Jews with Communism and subversion, the degradation of Germany under the Treaty of Versailles, economic collapse, and the outstanding oratorical ability of Hitler himself. All of these factors combined to propel the Nazi Party to power in 1933.
