NHHouuse Rep James Spillane (R-Deerfield) has posted a meme on social media, w/ imagery recalling anti-Semitic propaganda in prewar Germany, promoting the conspiracy theory that Jewish bankers control the world economy. Spillane signaled approval: "Truth. Agree" #NHPolitics 1/
The meme, based on a 2012 mural by street artist Mear One, depicts bankers who resemble the moneylenders of Nazi propaganda seated around a game of Monopoly resting on the backs of slave-like figures. Symbols associated w/ the Illuminati & Freemasonry are in the background. 2/
The mural was removed from London’s East End after an uproar from religious & political leaders who complained "the images of the bankers perpetuate #antisemitic propaganda about conspiratorial Jewish domination of financial and political institutions." 3/ https://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local-council/fury-over-brick-lane-s-anti-semitic-mural-3433486
"It’s not just the big, hookednoses & evil expressions that make this iconography offensive & troubling, these depictions mirror #antisemitic propaganda used by Hitler and the Nazis to whip up hatred that led to the massacre of millions of Jews." 4/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/28/antisemitism-open-your-eyes-jeremy-corbyn-labour
This anti-Semitic post by #NHHouse Rep Spillane comes on the heels of another controversial posting by Rep Dawn Johnson (R-Laconia) who faces calls for her resignation after linking to anti-Semitic imagery on the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website. #NHPolitics 5/
Reminder: Last fall, #NHHouse Rep Spillane was investigated by the state attorney general for his Facebook post that appeared to advocate the burning and looting of houses displaying Black Lives Matter signs. #NHPolitics /end https://apnews.com/article/43d1de4916908dd6f216b3647ca6744a
