On August 17, 2017, Pino posted to Facebook: “History itself reveals that the modern so-called Jews are actually descendants of the fierce Turkish, Khazar families which roamed the steppes of southern Russia and who adopted the religion of Judaism between the 7th and 9th Centuries.”

The “Khazar myth” refers to the assertion that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the ancient Israelites but instead from the Khazar people, whose ruling class was said to have converted to Judaism. Ashkenazi Jews originate from an ancient Jewish community in the Middle East, whose descendants settled in Europe.

Pino continued: “today, the Khazars(Edomites) are known as ‘Ashkenazi Jews’ and ‘Israelis’ not because of race or genealogy, but because of religious conversion. as stated, the Bible declares that there would be Israelite impostors(Revelation 2:9); these impostors have inadvertently or deliberately identified themselves by their own writings.”

Edom is a kingdom in the Old Testament. BHIs allege that Jews and white people descend from the wicked Esau, whose descendants are called Edomites. BHIs refer to Jews as “Edomites” to also deny that Ashkenazi Jews, whose ancestors fled to Europe, are descendants of the biblical Israelites. BHIs claim that they themselves are the real descendants of Esau’s righteous brother Jacob, who was the progenitor of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.  

On January 4, 2017, Pino posted to Facebook: “...The late Egyptian president [Gamal Abdel Nasser] stated in an interview that the reason the fake Caucasian ‘Jew-ish’ people in Israel right now will never have peace is because they left Egypt as blacks and have now returned as whites. The Jew-ish people there now were placed there by the U.S and other forces after WW2. They have not had peace since. #UnderstandLife.”

The terms “Jew-ISH" and "Je-WISH" are used by BHIs to claim that Jews are not "real Jews" but rather the descendants of white Europeans. The BHIs believe themselves to be the "real Jews."

On July 3, 2015, Pino posted an anti-Semitic graphic to Facebook with two photos next to each other. One photo showed an Orthodox Jewish man with the text “JEW-ISH” below his face and “RELIGION” above his face. The other photo showed a black man with the text “JEW” below his face and “VS BLOOD” above his face.

Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theories

On July 28, 2020, Pino shared an IUIC Atlanta Facebook post with four graphics. One graphic contained a quote that read: “‘SLAVE TRADE WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JEWISH ACTIVITIES…’” 

The claim that Jews were dominant in the transatlantic slave trade was propagated in a book published by the Nation of Islam titled: “The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews.” The book has been discredited in a work titled: “Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight,” by John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor of history, Eli Faber.
Another graphic in the same post featured the text: “WHEN WILL THE JEWISH COMMUNITY ADDRESS AND APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE GREATEST HOLOCAUST KNOWN TO MAN?”

The post’s text read: “The #Jewish Community was a major player in #Slavery! After 250 years one would imagine an #apology and acceptance for such savage behavior. What ‘Jewish’ leader is going to donate to the cause of the #Israelites?”

On April 27, 2020, during a global coronavirus pandemic, Pino shared a Facebook post that read: “The Jewish Elite (The Synagogue of Satan) is NEVER going to allow life to go back to normal’ It is Written!.” 

On May 17, 2017, Pino shared to Facebook a video to Facebook that began [00:00:01]: “If you’re the real Israelites, who are these people over there in the Land of Israel claiming to be you? Those are Romans, Europeans. They got pushed up in the south Georgia, Russia, in the Caucusus mountains and hid themselves under the name of ‘Khazars.’” 

In the same video Pino shared, the narrator asserted[00:00:35] that the “so-called Holocaust, which was politically motivated, the elite used that as a pretext to invade the Land of Israel and took those Khazarian converts and placed them in that land in 1948.”

Later in the video, the narrator said[00:03:06]: “These are the same exact people that funded your transatlantic slave trade, yes the same Jewish man, the same Romans. These are the same people that’s responsible for your 400-year short span Black History curriculum.” 

The narrator concluded [00:03:23] the video by saying: “These are the same exact people that control the media outlets and push rap music on the whole black community and support it and push it on the forefront. The same exact people. They control all the media.” 

At the same time, text appeared on the video that said [00:03:29]: “Used by elite to influence Millions in the Black Community” and “Through Rap we can make them kill each other, think it's ok to join gangs, sell drugs and hate their own women. We don't have to do anything but sit back and watch.”

On January 12, 2017, Pino shared a graphic on Facebook with a heading that read: “What Hitler Knew!” 

The graphic featured text saying: “‘Why will the Jews control America?’... Hitler said, ‘because the white Jews knows that the Negros are the real children of Israel. And to keep Americas [sic] secret, the Jews will blackmail America. The Jews will extort America Their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negros knew who they were.”

Pino captioned the post: “#UnderstandLife.”

On December 14, 2016, Pino shared a meme on Facebook that featured a photo of Jacob Rothschild, with a caption that read: “‘...My family is worth 500 trillion dollars. We own nearly every central bank in the world. We financed both sides of every war since Napoleon. We own your news, the media, your oil, and your government…’”

Conspiracy theories regarding the Rothschild family date back to the 18th century. Anti-Semites frequently cite the family’s wealth to support the claim that “Jews control the world’s money supply.”

On April 28, 2016, Pino shared an IUIC graphic to Facebook that juxtaposed a photo of Orthodox Jews with a photo of black slaves on a slave ship. The photo featured text above the graphic reading: “FAKE JEWS SOLD REAL JEWS.” The graphic also included text that read: “‘Jewish’ owned, insured, and financed slave ships and outfitted them with chains and shackles for the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.”
