It turns out that one of congress' top recipients of political contributions from banks is obsessed with conspiracy theories and often demonizes the internet as a haven for extremism.
Earlier today Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars.com reported "Bloggers, conspiracy theorists and people who challenge establishment narratives on the Internet were all likened to ISIS terrorists during a chilling Congressional hearing which took place yesterday... Committee Chairman Ed Royce then proceeded to accuse people on YouTube of using "raw violence" to advance conspiracy theories." [BLOGGERS COMPARED TO ISIS DURING CONGRESSIONAL HEARING.]
Digging a little deeper, a search of California Congressman Ed Royce's congressional website and speeches reveals the 63 year-old's ongoing obsession with 9/11 "conspiracy theories," combatting anti-semitism, and the holocaust. He even repeatedly alleges that his father, a WWII vet, "documented on film the ovens with bodies stacked like cord wood" at Dachau.
Royce loves AIPAC and regularly speaks at their conferences. In December 2006, Royce "condemned Iran's commitment to hold an international holocaust denial conference" via H. Res 1092. In June of 2014, Royce signed a letter stating"we welcome President Obama's recent call for confronting a rising tide of antisemitism around the world."
At the unveiling of a holocaust memorial in Fullerton, CA, Royce claimed "As we know, in 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million, most of who resided in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy. By 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators had killed two out of every three European Jews, in what certainly was one of history's darkest chapters. The horrors inflicted on the Jewish people are in some ways beyond imagination ... unless each new generation is educated."
Wikipedia notes "many of his biggest campaign contributors have been banks: his five top contributors in 2006 were Credit Union National Assn, Irvine Co., Wells Fargo, Orange County Teachers Fed Credit Union, and GUS plc. He is among the representatives receiving the largest percentage of their campaign contributions from the banking industry."
Last week while discussing ISIS recruitment on CNN, Royce claimed that Christians were being crucified by Muslim extremists and once again brought out the holocaust card. But when pressed by Wolf Blitzer to specify precisely who was being crucified and where, Royce waffled. "It's amazing how many psychopaths they can recruit. But, of course, the S.S. recruited a lot of psychopaths out of Germany during the war. I guess we shouldn't be that surprised that, with the Internet, they can find human beings that respond to these incentives. But it's truly appalling," he said.
In the past Royce denigrated Ron Paul and compared him to Britian's Liberal Democrat party, stating "In our increasingly dangerous world where strong allies are gold, we can only hope that Thursday's biggest loser isn't us."
Here are 3 pages Royce's speeches on holocaust and his biography.
Below is a mere sampling of Royce's vast snippets on 9/11 conspiracies, extremism, anti-semitism, and the holocaust.
