-'''Zionist Occupied (Occupational) Government''', or '''ZOG''', is an expression used by groups of [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semites]] in the [[United States]] to express their belief that [[United States]] government is controlled by "[[Zionism|Zionists]]," that is to say, by "[[Jew]]s." Some groups are more direct and refer to the '''Jewish Occupied Government'''. The term is often rendered as "Zionist Occupation Government" or even "Zionist Occupational Government."
-The term appears to date back to the mid-[[1980s]], although it may have been coined even earlier. It appears to have first been brought to widespread attention in a [[December 27]], [[1984]] article in the ''[[New York Times]]'' about robberies committed in [[California]] and [[Washington state]] by a [[white supremacy|white supremacist]] group, [[The Order (group)|The Order]]. According to the newspaper, the crimes "were conducted to raise money for a war upon the United States Government, which the group calls "ZOG," or Zionist Occupation Government."
-The OSB was an offshoot of the [[Aryan Nations]], a group founded in the early 1970s by [[Richard G. Butler]], who had been associated since the [[1950s]] with another anti-Semitic group, the [[Church of Jesus Christ Christian]]. These groups trace their origins back to anti-Semitic activists such as [[Gerald L. K. Smith]], and had some relations with the [[Ku Klux Klan]]. It seems likely that the term "Zionist Occupation Government" originated with the Aryan Nations. It was publicised extensively in its literature and the group moved into online communications at a very early stage: in December [[1984]], [[Newsweek]] magazine reported that the Aryan Nations had set up a [[bulletin board]] called "[[Aryan Nation Liberty Net]]" that offered information like the locations of [[Communist Party USA|Communist Party]] offices and "ZOG informers."
-In [[1996]], Aryan Nations posted to its website an "[[Aryan]] Declaration of Independence," which declared, "the history of the present Zionist Occupied Government of the United States of America is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations... [all] having a direct object -the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states." Holding "the eradication of the [[White race]] and its culture" as "one of its foremost purposes," this "ZOG" is accused of relinquishing the "powers of government to private corporations, White traitors and [[ruling class]] Jewish families."
-Aryan Nations describes Jews as "the natural enemy of our Aryan (White) Race. This is attested by scripture and all secular history. The Jew is like a destroying virus that attacks our racial body to destroy our Aryan culture and the purity of our Race." Supporters of the ZOG premise often contrast the "tyrannical" actions of the Zionist Occupied Government with the supposed freedom-loving Christian purity of white Americans, as in the example of Pastor [[Carl Franklin]] of the Aryan Nations. He was quoted in an [[April 21]], [[1993]] article in the [[Britain|British]] newspaper ''[[The Guardian]]'' as saying that "[y]ou have the tyranny of a Zionist occupation government coming foursquare against a [[Christian]], American white family."
-Citing the [[Book of Revelation]], Aryan Nations envisions a "battle" being fought "between the children of darkness (today known as Jews) and the children of light...the [[Aryan Race]], the true [[Israel]] of the [[Bible]]." There will "soon" be a "day of reckoning," in which "the usurper will be thrown out by the terrible might of [[Yahweh]]'s people, as they return to their roots and their special destiny." In this struggle between the Jews and "the children of light," Aryan Nations says that the Jews have a surrogate: the Zionist Occupied Government of the United States.
-Since [[1996]] the expression has been picked up and used by various other anti-Semitic groups. A search with [[Google]] reveals 882 hits for "Zionist Occupied Government," and over 6,500 hits for articles containing both the words "ZOG" and "Zionist."
-This word has also come to be used satirically (See [http://www.autistici.org/loa/snd/survivor/official/uncreed/ Creedish Occupied Government!], a website alleging the government is controlled by the [[Amish]]). The term has been adapted to other political contexts. [[Leftwing]]ers have referred to the "Korporate Occupied
-Government." (See [http://www.tabletnewspaper.com/politics/archive/38_grassyknoll.html The Grassy Knoll].) In [[India]] there are references to the "[[Brahmin]] Occupied Government." American [[saxophonist]] and [[composer]] [[John Zorn]] performed and recorded with a trio called ZOG.
