Google Would Rather Honor The Socialist Anti-Zionist Zamenhof Than The Bill Of Rights

Anytime you pay attention to what Google decides to honor, you find out a little bit more about the worldview of the people who work for the company.

About a year ago, on December 15th, 2009 Google was faced with the opportunity to honor the anniversary of the Bill of Rights. Google declined, even though Dec. 15th is National Bill of Rights Day as instituted by FDR (ironic, I know). Instead, Google chose to honor L.L. Zamenhof, an oculist and the creator of Esperanto, on what would have been his 150th birthday, via the image above in one of their Google Doodles. Zamenhof’s claim to fame is that he created this failed language experiment where those who used the language were Marxists and socialists. Lesser known is that Zamenhof also failed in an attempt to create a  philosophy called Hillelism – he regarded the expression of religious conviction a “barbarity”.

The word esperanto means “one who hopes” in the language itself. Hardly a surprise as hope and change are long-standing Marxist platitudes. Zamenhof was an anti-Zionist, socialist “Jew”. People went to great lengths to hide Zamenhof’s Jewish heritage as he became popular in anti-Zionist, socialist circles. In fact, Louis Emile Javal, famous ophthalmologist and close associate of Zamenhof’s, also a “social reformer”, was proud that, “Of 700 articles in the press, only one mentioned Zamenhof’s Jewishness.” Sounds like typical postmodern New York City Jews, doesn’t it – or maybe even like the George Soros, anti-Semitic kind of “Jew”.

Well, what do you know, after a little digging, I found that George Soros’ dad, Tivador Soros (Soros, an adopted name, means “to soar” in Esperanto), founded the Esperanto literary magazine Literatura Mondo (Literary World) in 1922 and edited it until 1924. For those who’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Soros is, he’s the foreign, hypocritical Marxist who has invested tens of millions of dollars in ultra-leftist, American organizations like Center for American Progress, MoveOn, America Coming Together, Democracy Alliance, and Media Matters for the purpose of advancing Marxism in America. George was taught Esperanto from birth, and is one of the rare native speakers of the kooky language. Interesting to note that Esperanto was known as the “the Latin of the Proletariat” (Does that mean that only communist doctors and lawyers spoke it?). According to Soros, he “…grew up in a Jewish, anti-Semitic home.” Huh? Jewish anti-Semites? Hmm, that should probably read: Jew-ish. Leave it to Soros and his ilk to try and straddle that fence. There’s some insight in all this as to why the MSM and many American progressives are anti-Semitic, but that’s the subject of an upcoming blog post.

The Bill of Rights must be some obscure item from America’s past, unworthy of Google’s interest, paling in comparison to the wonders of some made up, socialist Pig Latin. But since Soros has become a hero to the American leftists, maybe that has some merit with who Google honors.

As Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, says, “If there’s something you don’t want others to know, you then you shouldn’t be doing it.” I suppose Eric wants us to know about his Marxist, anti-Israel stance. Thanks, Eric, now we know. It’s no strange accident that Obama pulled this Marxist-loving, Schmidt, into his wacky sphere of advisers. Back in 2008, Schmidt was pushing the government for an “innovation bailout”, a crazy government-funded effort to create jobs in the tech industry.

You shall know them by their fruits.
