The recent arraignment of Michael Ron David Kadar, 27, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, “on an indictment from the Middle District of Florida charging him with hate crimes and obstruction of the free exercise of religion committed against Jewish institutions throughout Florida, including schools and community centers,” intrigues me. Were these valid “hate crimes” or a deliberate “false flag,” a contrived plan to fool the world that anti-Semitism is a serious and growing problem? Exposing the purposeful inflating of numbers and spurious perspective of hatred of Jews as Jews rather than the real perspective of hatred of Jews as supporters of genocidal Israel is a significant contribution to separating verbal attacks on Israel’s supporters from attacks on Jewish identity. Exposure of a well-publicized series of “anti-Semitic” acts as programmed and deceitful can convince the public that Israel’s supporters nefariously characterize attacks on Jews to advance their agenda. From my analysis, which will be presented later, it is possible that Kadar’s efforts were deliberately directed to create an impression of massive anti-Semitic behavior.
Doubtful that finding the truth will be an objective in this upcoming trial. The prosecution will argue sentencing for a hate crime and the defense will be wary of exposing the defendant as a possible bribe-taking criminal. Revealing the truth behind Kadar’s actions must pursue another avenue, which is worth pursuing; it might demonstrate the manipulations used to establish false anti-Semitic acts, deluding the public into believing Jews are constantly attacked, and need Israel to defend them. Michael Ron David Kadar’s trial deserves attention.
Anti-Defamation league (ADL) statistics on anti-Semitism have always gathered skeptics. Careful examinations indicated the ADL reports everything it can as an anti-Semitic incident. Reports contained mostly passive and non-violent attacks.
… in the first quarter of 2017, preliminary reports of the 541 anti-Semitic incidents included: 380 harassment incidents, including 161 bomb threats, an increase of 127 percent over the same quarter in 2016; 155 vandalism incidents, including three cemetery desecrations, an increase of 36 percent; 6 physical assault incidents, a decrease of 40 percent.
Only 6 physical assaults, and none serious in the ADL report. Included in the first quarter of 2017 ADL statistics were the multitude of calls from Michael Kadar, which were almost all the bomb threats. Kadar, then a juvenile of 17 years, resided in Ashkelon, Israel when making the calls, and eventually served seven years for his crimes. After leaving prison, he migrated to Norway, unaware that the Norwegians would agree to extradite him to the United States to face charges of committing the hate crimes, and additional charges “in the District of Columbia for threats made against the Israeli Embassy and the Anti-Defamation League Washington, D.C. offices and in the Middle District of Georgia for cyberstalking and conveying false information to police dispatch.” In total, Kadar is accused of instigating in early 2017, “a wave of more than 2,000 bomb threats against Jewish Community Centers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Denmark.”
The reason for all these bomb threats ─ Kadar was said to have acted out of boredom — the extent and complexity of the acts, and Kadar’s personal life and financial gain, hint at more than a careless teenager committing pranks; they intimate of a well-conceived plot to fool the public that a great number of anti-Semites were operating in the U.S. and Europe. What is the evidence?
Start with the most convincing evidence from the New York Times, Nov. 22, 2018.
According to court documents, the defendant demanded payment for his services on the dark net in Bitcoin, the virtual cryptocurrency, and earned nearly 184 Bitcoin, now worth about $800,000. In his decision, the judge provided details of the defendant’s price list for his services. A phone threat to a private house cost $40; a call to a school cost double that; and for a call warning of a bomb on a plane, he charged $500.
Since the defendant refused to reveal the codes to access his Bitcoin wallet, most of his earnings have not been recovered. Only a few thousand dollars were found in cash, according to the Israeli authorities.
Earning $800,000 in Bitcoin (worth $240,000 when Kadar made the calls) for telephone calls sounds like serious business and not “acting out of boredom.” Implementing a complex system of using an antenna use to seek a public Wi-Fi, paying a spoofing company to disguise voice and identity, and requiring bitcoin payments to finance the efforts indicates a well-constructed and elaborate plan to commit illegal activities and evade authorities. Unanswered questions:
(1) Where did the youth obtain the funds for implementing the system, advertising the services, and paying the spoofing company?
(2) Why would he make an investment in a speculative adventure, whose financial return was dubious?
(3) Who paid him for his services? Only two persons are cited to have possibly paid and nobody has been identified.
(4) Would anybody pay in bitcoin in advance for a service of this type and would Kadar perform the service before being paid?
(5) Kadar had dual American and Israeli citizenship and his parents chose to live in Jewish dominated Israel rather than more secular America. Because he had strong attachments to a Jewish heritage, why would he agree to target Jewish institutions and not institutions of other faiths?
Let’s place this in a more believable and trustworthy perspective. It does not seem possible that this type of service can have viable customers nor earn the amount of bitcoin that appeared in Kadar’s wallet. Somebody guided the youth into the criminal actions and awarded Kadar for his efforts. That someone had to know Kadar and be geographically close to him. Lots of bitcoin for a multitude of transactions was obtained and passed to the youth. This is the work of a careful and highly organized group and not the random operations of disconnected individuals.
Conclusion: A group solicited Kadar, an isolated and precocious youth (he was home schooled, and nobody in the neighborhood, including those his age, knew much about him), and adept in network technology, to design a system that could make threatening phone calls to Jewish institutions outside of Israel. The system would operate without detection by disguising the voice and identity of the caller. Having the plot originate from Israel and involve a Jewish Israeli makes it highly improbable the Jewish institutions were targeted by people hostile to Jews. They were targeted to feign anti-Jewish activity and increase the statistics for Jewish victim hood, a conspiracy that has proven true in other instances.
(1) George Washington University (2007): A Jewish freshman at George Washington University admitted to drawing a series of swastikas on her own door and on other dormitory surfaces, causing significant campus panic.
(2) Paris, France (2004): A non-Jewish French woman falsely claimed that she and her baby were assaulted and targeted with antisemitic slurs on a suburban train by a group of men of North African descent. The hoax generated massive political outrage before she admitted to fabricating the entire event.
(3) Winnipeg, Canada (2019): The Jewish owners of Burmax Cafe in Winnipeg, Manitoba, were charged with public mischief after police concluded they staged a severe, highly publicized vandalism and hate crime incident at their own business. Police determined the family had vandalized the cafe and painted antisemitic graffiti on the walls themselves.
I have no positive proof to my conspiracy theory. Let’s put it another way; I am not a conspiracy theorist and I trust my instincts. Will be interesting to learn what the trial reveals.
