--------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00000Date: 09/24/95 From: ANTHONY GRIGOR-SCOTT Time: 04:05pm \/To: CASIMIR@SMH.COM.AU (Read 2 times) Subj: Racism, Communism, TRUTH1 Racism, Communism, and a little TRUE history we all should know... In Russia the Khazars were in great numbers and revolutions were hatched to overthrow the Czar and to turn Russia into a base for world revolu- tion. The Khazar international banking house of Kuhn Loeb & Co., of New York financed the Japanese in their war with Russia in 1905 in order to weaken Russia. The Jewish Encyclopaedia under `Schiff' states that `Kuhn Loeb & Co., subscribed for and floated war loans in 1904 and 1905 in recognition of which the Mikado conferred on Schiff the second Order of the treasure of Japan'. The Bolshevik Revolution was organized and carried out by the Jews, Kerencki (Aaron Kirbiz), Lenin (Ulianov) and Trotski (Bronstein). Lenin was financed through the German Imperial Bank and in April 1917 with other revolutionaries was allowed to cross Germany by special train into Russia. At the same time Trotski, supplied with funds by the bankers Kuhn Loeb & Co. and with an account opened up for them in Europe by the Warburgs, sailed on the S.S. Christiania with 275 revolutionaries. British naval authorities stopped the ship off Nova Scotia and Trotski and his retinue were arrested by the Canadian government who had sol- diers fighting the Germans on the Western Front and had no intention of allowing the Eastern Front to collapse. The Khazars and their agents in the British and United States governments put pressure on the Canadian government through Sir William Wiseman, an important go-between in the British Embassy in Washington and a partner in Messrs Kuhn Loeb & Co., Trotski with his funds and his men were allowed to proceed to Europe supplied with United States passports. Millions of innocent Russian Christians were slaughtered by the Bolshe- vik Jews, particularly churchmen and the educated so as to root out and stifle the past, and to kill off all leadership. The Russian Royal Family, who had been prevented from taking refuge in Britain due to Fabian pressure on King George V, were slaughtered by the Jew Yourowski assisted by the Jews Golostchokine and Sverdlov. The London 'Times' of 29th March 1919 stated: "Of the 20 to 30 commissa- ries who provide the central machinery of government of the Bolshevik movement not less than 75% are Jews, ... among the minor officials their numbers are legion". The Zionist 'Sunday Chronicle', Manchester, 26th September 1915 printed: "We are, whether born or naturalized here, not really British at all. We are national Jews ...Jews by race and faith... not Englishmen". Jacob Schiff, then head of the banking house of Kuhn Loeb Co. of New York, sent a telegram to a communist rally in Carnegie Hall, New York, on 23rd March 1917: "Will you say for me to those present at tonight's meeting how deeply I regret my inability to celebrate with the friends of Russian freedom the actual reward of what we had hoped for and stri ven for these long years. Signed Jacob Schiff". That telegram was pub lished in the 'New York Times' the next morning. ChoIly Knickerbocker, a New York columnist, wrote in the New York 'Jou rnal American' for 3rd February 1949: "Today it is estimated even by Jacob's grandson, John Schiff, a prominent member of New York society, that the old man sank about $20 million for the final triumph of Bolshevism in Russia. Jacob Schiff explained why he sponsored the Bolshevik Revolution in a Jewish publication published in Cernaut, Rumania: "It was for the good of the Jewish nation". The 'Jewish Chronicle' of 4th April 1919 printed: "There is much in the fact that so many Jews are Bolsheviks, in the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism are at many points consonant with the finest ideals of Juda- ism (Pharisaism)". Ever since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution the Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jew' in Western Europe and America has been building up the might of the Soviet Union with technological aid, financial advice and equipment. Professor Anthony Sutton, born in London and educated at the universities of London, Gottingen and California, is the West's greatest authority on the military strength of the Soviet Union. He has shown in his book 'National Suicide' that since 1918, ninety to ninety five percent of Soviet technology has come from the U.S A. and its allies ... that we have built for, or sold or traded, or given outright to the Communists everything from copper wire and motor vehicles to combat tanks, missile equipment and computers that we have given equipment to build the world's largest heavy truck plant, with an annual output of one hundred thousand ten-ton trucks, more than the U.S.A. total,... that 'peaceful trade' is a myth...that to the Soviet all goods are strategic. All this is to create and maintain an enemy that we annually spend $80 million to defend ourselves against (National Suicide, Anthony Sutton). This has been possible due to the fact that the Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jew' controls the finances and the industry of the United States and also because of the collaboration of the Fabian Socialists he has been able to get his own people into the states department and the seat of government and, with his financial power, to control the president. The Soviet Union has, with its own production by slave labour, been able to supply the armies of North Vietnam and elsewhere with equipment and war material to carry on the revolution. 500,000 American servicemen, the 'Glorious Gloucesters' from Britain and numerous others from several Commonwealth countries were slaughtered in war with material and tech- nology supplied by the United States. Even when Anglo-Saxon-Celtic soldiers were fighting in South Vietnam, British cargo ships were un- loading war material in the North Vietnamese port of Haiphong to kill them off. Those were no-win wars; they were not meant to be won; their purpose was not only to gain territory for the Communists with the pretense that the West was making a resistance, but also to destroy the war potential and manpower of the West. General MacArthur was dismissed because he tried to win the war in Korea. (`Planned Wars and World Revolution', by Ambas- sador Bullit, American Mercury, November 1958, Page 60) General MacA- rthur defeated and captured the North Korean army and commenced mopping up processes when suddenly he found himself confronted by several hundred thousand Red Chinese. MacArthur was not allowed to tell the American people that they were engaged in a new war and that the enemy was now Red China. He was not allowed to bomb the Yalu Bridge over which the Communists were pouting men and supplies, nor to attack the bases from which these supplies came. A Congressman wrote to MacArthur asking why there were so many casualties when the war was supposed to be over and MacArthur told the Congressman what had happened. That letter was read out in Congress. Within five days General MacArthur was withdrawn from all commands in the Pacific. The same thing happened in the war in Vietnam - the Americans were not meant to win. The Americans were not allowed to bomb the port of Haiphong nor the supply routes from China. While building up the power of the Soviet Union the Khazar-Ashkenazim together with their Fabian dupes are gradually reducing the power and destroying the efficiency and effectiveness of the armed forces of the West, particularly of the United States. In Britain the Fabian social- ists continually reduce the fighting power of the nation and we have mentioned that Fabian Dennis Healy destroyed our supersonic nuclear bomber, the TSR2. In the U.S.A. President Nixon, on instructions, appointed Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, a Zionist Khazar, as Admiral of the Fleet. Zumwalt immediately discharged thirty five admirals and replaced them with his own kind (Washington Observer). He began lowering the standard of efficiency in the fleet... The rulers of the Soviet Union, the International Financiers based in New York and the present rulers of the Israeli state are all one and the same people - the Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jew'. The results of World War I were that many crowned heads in Europe were toppled and more easily manipulated governments were substituted. The map of Europe was redrawn in such a way that unrest could be caused on racial lines. The Versailles Treaty divided East Prussia from Germany by a strip of land which would give Poland the Free Port of Danzig as an outlet to the sea. To get military stores and equipment through this, Germany needed to get the permission of the Government of Poland. The Russian state was secured as a base for operations against the free world and a cadre for training future national leaders was established at Zagreb. To these cadres AdoIf Schiekelgruber (Hitler), Franz Broz (Tito), Anna Pauker and others who were to rule the communist controlled area of Europe were sent, while patriotism, nationalism and the morale of the nations were destroyed by propaganda and re-education. Reparations on Germany caused the devaluation of the mark and the rise of the corrupt Weimar Republic. The Turkish armies had been driven from Palestine and the Zionists in Britain were able to put pressure on the British Government to honour the Balfour Agreement to set up a Jewish state, despite the fact that they had promised the Arabs who had fought for them against the Turks that they would have self-government at the end of hostilities. --- GoldED/386 2.50.Beta5+ * Origin: Bible Believers BBS (61)-2-809-3723 West Ryde (3:711/933) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00001Date: 09/24/95 From: ANTHONY GRIGOR-SCOTT Time: 04:23pm \/To: CASIMIR@SMH.COM.AU (Read 2 times) Subj: Racism, Communism, TRUTH2 However, the Khazar Kahilla had received a setback in Russia. Lenin fell foul of the Kahilla and had to be eliminated; Trotski was being groomed to replace him. After Lenin's murder, Trotski was ill in South America and therefore not available, and so Lenin's right hand man, Stalin (Djougachvili - son of a Jew) became head of state. Stalin had no real knowledge of the true controllers of Communism and he carried out a policy of national Communism, known to the inner ring as 'Buonapartism', and the Soviet Union was outside the control of the- financial power in New York. Stalin had to be eliminated and replaced by Trotski, but Stalin became aware of the plot against him and had Trotski murdered in South America, thus beginning the great purge of all his suspected enemies. A great many communists were murdered. According to 'Forty Years of Roosevelt' by T.W. Hughes, page 19: "In 1931, when Montagu Norman (Rothschild's choice as head of the Bank of England) had returned from his visit to America he reported to his London associates that he could do business with the American bankers but not with the American President (Hoover). In brief, in 1931, the big bankers faced the same problems as had confronted them in 1912 - now, as then, they found in the White House a president who would not play their game. Thus, as in 1912 they had planned to remove Taft, so in December 1931 they planned to remove Hoover. Then and there the big bankers set to work on a political plan so fantastic that even the gods, who are supposed to be always solemn, must have laughed when they heard it. That plan was to finance AdoIf Hitler to power in Germany while financing Franklin Roosevelt to power in the U.S.A.. Yes, dear reader, I know you're shocked, but this was the plan as drawn up in London in December 1931 - and they not only planned it that way but they put it over as planned. Thus in January 1932 the London International Bankers arranged with Dr Schacht, President of the German Reichbank, and Mr Thyssen, a German industrial baron, to finance Hitler to power ... when almost immediately it became known that now for the first time the Nazi Party had unlimited funds and that those funds had been advanced by Messrs Schacht and Thyssen, the International Bankers. To cover up their part in the plot, they had it announced that the German industrialists had financed Hitler as a move against labour unionism. As we will recall the whole world was fooled by that explanation and therefore the world was kept in ignorance of the real reason for promoting Hitler to power, to wit that when Hitler and Germany were prepared, Germany would attack Russia" (American Mercury, Winter 1970). At this time the International Socialists through their agents urged the four million communist sympathizers in Germany to vote for AdoIf Hitler, so in 1933 the Nazis gained power and Hitler became Reichs-chancellor. "In 1934 Montagu Norman convened a meeting of leading bankers and muni- tion makers in England and proposed that they supply AdoIf Hitler with the necessary money, munitions and machines to start a war against Russia. By 1938 Germany had built up a large modern army (the British press was telling the people that the German tanks were made of card- board), a powerful fleet and large airforce. Hitler had taken Austria and Czechoslovakia and went ahead with his aim to reverse the objectives of the Treaty of Versailles, to get all Germans under one government. "Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who had no real knowledge of the power behind the scenes, met Hitler at the now famous conference at Godesburg. At this conference Chamberlain reminded Hitler that he had given the money (International Banking money) to rearm Germany upon Hitler's definite promise that he would attack Russia; and now that Germany was rearmed, the Rhineland fortified and Czechoslovakia out of the way, why did not Hitler keep his promise and attack Russia? At that meeting, however, Hitler had outsmarted Chamberlain - he had taken a record of all that Chamberlain had said on a Dictograph. "Some months later, WHEN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT HITLER WAS DOUBLE CROSSING THE BANKERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS ISSUING DEBT FREE CURRENCY, getting full employment for his people, gaining his raw materials through barter and was not going to attack Russia, English agents were sent to Moscow who for two months tried to persuade Stalin to start a war with Germany. The international Khazar 'Jew' bankers did not care who started the war so long as Stalin was out of the way and both Russia and Germany were once more under their financial control. "At the last moment, WHEN IT APPEARED THAT STALIN MIGHT SIGN UP WITH FRANCE AND BRITAIN, VON RIBBENTROP TOOK HIS DICTOGRAPH RECORD AND PLAYED IT FOR STALIN - THE RECORD IN WHICH CHAMBERLAIN HAD REMINDED HITLER THAT GERMANY HAD BEEN REARMED FOR AN ATTACK ON RUSSIA. Von Ribbentrop told Stalin: 'Do you not see the plot whereby Russia and Germany were to destroy each other so the International Bankers through the armies of England and France could restore the balance of power in Europe?' Stalin did see and startled the world by announcing an alliance with Germany. (`Planned Wars and World Revolution' by Ambassador Bullit, American Mercury, November, 1958 - Page 60). The Fabian Socialists in Britain and America have been and are being instrumental in getting Khazars appointed to sensitive positions in government administration and the executive, and into the universities, schools, training centres and theological colleges. The U.S.A. is now governed by unelected Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jews'. The Fabians in the United States have been instrumental in getting these people appointed to the highest positions in the state: Henry Kissinger, son of a Rabbi, ex-KGB and secret service agent, as Secretary of State; James Schlesinger as Secretary for Defence; Arthur Burns(rein), son of an Austrian Jewish merchant, as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank; Allen Greenspan as head of the Economic Council; Edward Levi as Attorney General. In Britain the socialist governments have been liberal in appointing these people to positions of responsibility, such as Goodman, Balogh, Kaldor, Ezra in charge of the Coal Board and Arnold Weinstock in charge of the Atomic Energy Commission. It was Lord Goodman who suggested Centre Point developer millionaire, Harry Hyams, as a possible direc tor of Crossman's housing drive (see Crossman's Diaries - Crossman was a Fabian). Harold Montague Finniston is in charge of the nationalized Iron and Steel Industry; John Silkin is the Attorney General, et alia. As there are Khazar-Ashkenazim in the House of Lords so also a great number of Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jews' have been adopted as candidates for election to the House of Commons, and many have been elected. Dr Nahum Goldman has stated that, where the interests of Israel and the country in which they live conflict, the Jew's first loyalty is to the Israeli state. Constant propaganda is kept up in the newspapers and on television screens, which are controlled by Khazar 'Jews' (ITV is controlled by Lewd Grandovinskl and Burnstein) or by their proteges (Charles Curran, Director of the B.B.C., stated: "We are all Marxists here now"...) Apart from the national newspapers, a great number of local papers are part of the Westminster Press Group whose editorial director is a Mr Jim Rose, author of Penguin Community Relations Commission booklet 'Colour & Citizenship'. There is also another Rose, Mr Paul B. Rose, M.P., who is just as keen to integrate the people of these islands with the Afro-Asiatics they have brought in. The Westminister Press Group is in turn owned by the publishing conglomerate, Pearsons, which owns Longman's Green and numerous other book publishing companies, and is a major shareholder in Yorkshire Television. The front man 'for this mind-bending empire is Lord Cowdray, but the real masters of the set-up are the International Khazar 'Jewish' bankers, Messrs Lazard Freres. Sitting on the board of Pearsons is a Mr W.B. Morrell, who also in charge of the Press Association which decides what the general public shall know and what it shall not know. Mr W.B. Morrell sat on the board of the Rowntree Trust (Secretary, Pratap Chitnis) when it donated scores of thousands of pounds to the Frelimo terrorists engaged in slaughter- ing, raping and burning Christians in Southern Africa. Mr Jim Rose works in close relationship with the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which promotes nationalism amongst their own people, while attempting to deny nationalism to the British among whom they live. The Board of Deputies boasted that it had initiated the campaign which led to the Race Relations Act and it is Mr Jim Rose and Mr Paul Rose who campaigned for a strengthening of the Race Relations Act against the indigenous people of these islands.

They have set out to destroy western civilization and its progress towards Christian democracy. The end of World War I was but an armistice, a laying down of arms. But World War I was only part of a process. The Khazar Kahilla had now gained their Soviet States as a base for aggression to spread Communism over the rest of the world by revolution and war. The Zionists among them, however, wished to gain control of Palestine, which had now become a mandate under Great Britain. Dr Chaim Weizmarm, who became the first President of Israel in 1948, had stated in 1920: "We will establish ourselves in Palestine whether you like it or not! You can hasten our arrival, or you can equally retard it. It is, however, better for you to help us so as to avoid our constructive power being turned into destruc- tive power which will overthrow the world". They also had on their hands the problem of National Communism of Stalin who was out of their control. To get rid of him they were financing National Socialist AdoIf Hitler. At the Ribbentrop Pact, Germany and Russia agreed to the division of Poland; Germany was to invade Poland and at a suitable time Russia would come in from the East and take over that portion assigned to her. On 31st August 1939, German aircraft bombed Warsaw. Britain and France, who had treaties to come to the assistance of Poland, declared war on Germany on 23rd September 1939. Germany invaded Poland on 1st September. From that time onwards the Soviet government supplied German troops with food and petrol until June 1941 and there was close co-operation between Moscow and Berlin. The Communist Party of Great Britain mounted a campaign to stop Britain going to war and both Britain and France stood by while Poland was destroyed by German might. Britain at that time had been invaded by some thousands of Khazar-Ashkenazim 'Jews' from East and Central Europe who had entered our places of learning and furthered the indoctrination of our people, as evidenced by the British newspapers for 1939 and 1940. The patriots in Britain who knew of the conspiracy behind the war, such as Captain A.M. Ramsay, Member of Parliament for Mid- lothian and Peebleshire, were arrested under Section 18B and interned under the care of a Rothschild. The citizens of Britain were enticed and cajoled to take up arms to protect Poland and the rights of small democratic nations to make Bri- tain a place for heroes to live in. The Khazar-controlled press howled with rage at Hitler but said nothing about Stalin and kept the people ignorant about the real reasons behind the war. On 22nd June 1941 the German Government accused the Soviet Union of breaking their agreements by attempting to undermine Germany and concen- trating all their forces in readiness at the German borders. On the same day Ribbentrop delivered a declaration of war. Hitler invaded Russia, the communist base, and the Communists in Britain began screaming for war. In 1943 the governments of Britain, the United States and Russia changed the aims of the war - no longer were we fighting for Poland and for the rights of small democratic nations in Eastern Europe, we were fighting for the extension and triumph of Communism. The British Government withdrew its recognition from the Polish government in exile, and the Polish leader, Count General Sikorski, was murdered in an aircraft over Spain. Towards the end of the war the beautiful city of Dresden was bombed flat and the Soviet armies under their Khazar commissars burned, raped and slaughtered the German people fleeing westward while British and Ameri- can troops, who could have overrun the area before the arrival of the Russian troops, were held back purposely. Nearly one million Russians of German stock were handed over to the Russians by the British and the Americans and these were slaughtered or sent to concentration camps and the women and children put into brothels for the use of Soviet troops, while thousands of Khazar 'Jews', waving occupation dollars, were al- lowed through by American troops and put on their way to America. The Jewish magazine 'The Sentinel' of Chicago printed on 8th October 1942: "The second world war is being fought for the defence of the fundamentals of Judaism". Communism had taken over the whole of Eastern Europe except Austria, which managed to escape, and Greece, which fought her way out, but Palestine had not yet been secured... With the connivance of the British Government the Khazar Kahilla com- menced moving European Jews into Cyprus and then began shipping those people illegally into Palestine where British soldiers and police had been instructed by the same British Government to stop immigration and keep the peace. The British Government was on the horns of a dilemma - they had promised the Arabs, for their assistance in defeating the Turks in World War I, that they would have self-government in Palestine, and they had guaranteed by the Balfour Declaration that Palestine would become a Jewish state. They were attempting to keep the wool over the eyes of the British people while they carried out the policies of the Zionists. Due to this criminal action by the British Government, British soldiers and policemen, trying to keep the peace, were allowed to be tortured and slaughtered by the Jewish Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang and in the end the peaceful Arab population of Palestine, who had been there for two thousand years, were driven out with slaughter and torture by Khazar 'Jews' whose ancestors had NEVER been in Palestine. In 1948, Britain, unwilling to lose more men and equipment, gave up the mandate and the state of Israel was proclaimed by the United Nations sponsored Khazar-controlled Soviet Union and the United States. Now you can `prove all things, hold fast that which is true'. This state of affairs has come upon both genuine Israelites and Christians because they have placed their trust in their ministers. Through NOT proving their teachings with God's Word. They are both APOSTATE and know it not, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. Search the Scriptures to learn what God promised to do in THIS day. We must recognize OUR day and ITS Message. --- GoldED/386 2.50.Beta5+ * Origin: Bible Believers BBS (61)-2-809-3723 West Ryde (3:711/933) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00003Date: 09/23/95 From: ANTHONY GRIGOR-SCOTT Time: 05:57pm \/To: CASIMIR@SMH.COM.AU (Read 2 times) Subj: Dishonesty & Deception #1 Dear Casimir@smh.Com.Au, Last month we had the following exchange:- Dear Jon Casimir, Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Any who would be offended by such material are no more than scoundrels, and manipulators of truth and of men. But as you say you are a journalist doing research, I expect your research will have already exposed the person/s who claimed to find this TRUTH `objectionable' as dishonest.

You also published an article in the Sydney Morning Herald which vilified myself and all Christians. Rather an affront to the courtesy I extended to you. Your article was brought to my attention last Friday by a media executive who called to encourage me to `continue to declare the TRUTH'. That night I received a call from another media outlet seeking assistance with a project. David wrote, `He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight' (Psalm 101:7). Your article follows unabridged: Jews want action on computer `racism' By JON CASIMIR A Sydney man who runs a computer bulletin board which disseminates anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic material says that it is not racist. The Bible Believers Bulletin Board, advertised on the Internet in a discussion group on religion in Australia, contains more than 200 files which can be downloaded by anyone with a computer and a modem. It in- cludes sermons, books, articles and copies of a number of versions of the Bible. While many of the articles are concerned with interpretation of the Bible, others downloaded by the Herald over the past fortnight were clearly anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic and included accusations of conspiracies by both religions to create an anti-Christian New World Order. The articles claimed, among other things, that the Jewish Talmud says killing Christians is not a sin. One calls "their masquerade as 'Israel' the greatest hoax of the last century!" Published in full is The Nameless War, a 1952 book which suggests that every Western conflict from the English Civil War to World War II was engineered by shadowy Jewish groups attempting to gain power. "The only correct term for mis-called 'anti-Semitic' is Jew-wise'," it says. Copies of articles contributed to the right-wing newspaper The Strate- gy are also available. One uses Biblical imagery to claim that the power behind the Roman Catholic Church is Satan. A bulletin board, like the Internet, allows people to access informa- tion via a computer and modem. Unlike the Internet, which is enormous, sprawling and open, a bulletin board is a private entity. It is like a club where users meet to discuss ideas and share resources. By calling a phone number, using a program like Terminal, which is available with Windows, a computer is connected to the bulletin board's computer. Users then usually register and are granted access to the library and chat spaces within. The executive vice-president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Mr Jeremy Jones, said the distribution of racial hate material by computers through bulletin boards and the Internet presented a challenge for MPs. "It would seem to me to be tragic if, just as the Parliament gets around to putting anti-racist legislation in place, the whole principle is undermined because it hasn't covered the new technology," he said. The spokesman for the Sydney diocese of the Catholic Church, Father Brian Lucas, said the existence of the bulletin board and the promulga tion of such views was not serious enough for the Church to react. "These views are so farfetched that they pander only to a small minor- ity and these are usually the type of people that can't be talked to in any sense because they're so locked into their prejudice," he said. "The claims of conspiracy, that the Church is trying to take over the world, fly in the face of the publication by Catholic churches of many documents relating to human rights, religious freedoms and tolerance.

Although you declared you were `researching a piece of digital racism', it is evident you did no thorough research. Nevertheless, I shall assist in your research and identify certain subjective elements. JC> A Sydney man who runs a computer bulletin board which disseminates JC> anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic material says that it is not racist. EVERY council, school and university library disseminates the SAME books which you call `anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic'. The books are available from any bookstore. Australia's largest chain of bookstores advise they can order both books. Would your Editor claim our councils, schools, universities and bookstores are `anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic'? Do you honestly believe them to be `racist and anti-Semitic? If so, you must also include many synagogues. How do would feel towards a library or bookstore which carries God's Bible? Would you propose to declare all churches `anti-Jewish, racist or anti-Catholic'? Upon reading your article, a Jewish friend of mine suggested you read `Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury, a fictional account of a world wherein books containing TRUTH contrary to the philosophy of the ruling elite were burned. Their Fire Brigade was responsible for BURNING houses which contained residual published truth. 451 Degrees Fahrenheit, as you may know, is the temperature at which paper ignites. She likened your attitude to those who sacked the library of Alexandria, to Chairman Mao's Red Guard, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, to Hitler and to the Bolsheviks, the Turks and the Roman Catholic church, which burned books and intellectual property that did not meet with their approval. Do you advocate Australia enforces the Talmudic command (Schabbath 116a Tos), which states that the books of the Christians should be burned? Or that Pope Innocent IV's Bull of 1244 (Bull. Rom. Pont, IV. 509) ordering Jewish books be burned be expanded to include any literature unpleasing to you, Mr. Jones, and the Board of Jewish Deputies? Together with `the executive vice-president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Mr Jeremy Jones', it seems you agree that unrestricted distribution of intellectual property `presented a challenge for MPs'. And that you would enforce the insidious push for `political correct- ness', which is BRAINWASHING. That `challenge' was answered in the United States when the manipulators of their National `Democratic' Party caused the Government to order that plates be destroyed on all books not reprinted within four years. Thus the teacher of advanced English courses has had to choose texts not, as in 1940, from those classics which he prefers, but from such classics as are available. The iniquitous practice of destroying plates was reas- serted by "Directive M-65", dated May, 1951. The pretence was that the copper was needed for war. A far more clever way to suppress information than Hitler's burning of books (Schabbath 116a Tos). There has also been a great leftist game with regard to books, book reviewers and periodicals including successful campaigns against such works as Shakespeare's play, `The Merchant of Venice'. This was summed up effectively by George Kittredge: "One thing is clear, however: `The Merchant of Venice' is no anti-Semitic document; Shakespeare was not attacking the Jewish people when he gave Shylock the villain's role. If so, he was attacking the Moors in `Titus Andronicus', The Spaniards in `Much Ado', The Italians in `Cymbeline', the Viennese in `Measure for Measure', the Danes in `Hamlet', the Britons in `King Lear', the Scots in `Macbeth', and the English in `Richard the Third'." To further your research, there have been speeches in the US Senate and the American Renaissance Book Club published documentary evidence of a nation-wide minority boycott of books as early as 1933. Your article emphasized the emotive trigger-words, `anti-Jewish', `anti- Catholic' and `racist'. These words are a bullet in the head to whomso- ever they are aimed. Although, as in my case, innocent as virgin snow, immediately they are marked guilty in the public mind. One need not kill a man in order to murder his character. Moses said, `Thou shalt do no murder; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment'. Jesus, Who magnified the Law said, `Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment'. Now you are clearly not Jewish, for you are ignorant of the Law and the prophets and the Talmud. Neither are you a Christian either, or we would be in agreement by the common faith. Who or what inspired you to present yourself before three million people as an expert on Rabbinic Talmudism, Christianity, Roman Catholicism, or racism? Just days ago your expertise was writing television news for The Sydney Morning Herald and commenting on pop music. --- GoldED/386 2.50.Beta5+ * Origin: Bible Believers BBS (61)-2-809-3723 West Ryde (3:711/933) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00005Date: 09/23/95 From: ANTHONY GRIGOR-SCOTT Time: 06:01pm \/To: CASIMIR@SMH.COM.AU (Read 2 times) Subj: Dishonesty & Deception #3 JC> Hello. I am a journalist researching a piece about digital racism. AG> What on earth for? Just follow the recent Federal Legislation and AG> comment on that.... if you dare. But you did NOT `dare' to research or publish the TRUTH about `digital racism'. (And your comments exposed your inexperience with BBS' and the InterNET). Had you researched your subject, you would have discussed the Federal Legislation, and identified the people who are behind it, their motives, and their agenda. Instead, you ridiculed the facts. JC> Someone suggested I check out this BBS Doubtless a `racist', pretending to be a non-racist from a discriminated minority. Benjamin Disraeli, wrote in his book, "Conningsby", `that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes'. But let's spend some time together considering these four `bullets' you shot into my back, `antijewish', `anti-Semitic', `anti-Catholic', and racist'. I think you were aware that neither The Sydney Morning Herald, (sister to The Jerusalem Post), nor SBSTV would publish a retraction or apologize. And talkback radio has picked this carrion article. Neverthe- less, I shall touch on the research you did not do. Is the Bible racist? It is certainly anti-Jewish. Roman Catholicism has always been anti-Jewish. And the Jews have always been anti-Catholic. But the Bible is also anti-Catholic. If you do not know these things perhaps you should direct your studies to authoritative Catholic sources such as the Catholic and New Catholic Encyclopaedias. But as a journal- ist with access to the InterNET, this research should not be difficult. You can resource Vatican publications without leaving your desk. The Christian Church, made up of a few Jews but primarily Gentiles, came into being because of Jewish APOSTASY 2,000 years ago. This was foretold by Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Zechariah, Malachi. All Christian teaching is NECESSARILY anti-Jewish because Jewish teach- ings are anti-Christ. The Bible teaches us that `Israel is blinded UNTIL the end of the Gentile dispensation'. Paul said that. But so did Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea and Zechariah. Why Jesus, of the Tribe of Judah Himself, declared Jerusalem killed the prophets and stoned the messengers God sent them from Abel to Zechariah. He stated unequivocally, the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, will be required of them. Would you say Jesus was disseminating anti-Jewish material, and that He is racist? Or anti-Semitic? If ever one had reason to feel bitterly disposed toward Israel, it was this just Man. Now His condemnation is vindicated by the Jewish historians, and confirms the prophecies of the Old Testament. By your logic, The Sydney Morning Herald (sister to the Jerusalem Post) and SBS would be anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic and racist - in the unlikely event they exposed your unprofessionalism and subjective reporting - by publicly apologizing to me, Bible Believers BBS and Christians generally are publishing a true account. Say, this reply of mine in its entirety. Christians of all ages have been anti-Catholic. When the Roman Catholic church was founded at the First Nicea Council in AD 325, those Christian ministers who traveled to Nicea departed before the Council sat, leaving the heretics, Athanasius and Arius to dispute the false Trinitarian and Unitarian doctrines. The Council's first decision denied the vote to any layman who was not a bishop. That was nicolaitanism, which Jesus hates. Christians are instructed to `earnestly contend or PROTEST for the faith once delivered unto the saints' which is why we are called PROTESTANTS. We PROTEST Rome. And although `Father' Brian Lucas considers 800 million nominal Protestants `a small minority' whose `views are far-fetched' - those `views' are THUS SAITH THE BIBLE. But, many of his 1,025 million nominal Roman Catholics reject their Pope and what they see as his `far- fetched views' - like worshiping the dead, celibacy of the priesthood, Maryolatry, extreme unction, transubstantiation or contraception. Even Jeremy Jones and the Jewish Board of Deputies may consider some of these views too `far-fetched' to be kosher. But we know that the MAJORITY is ALWAYS wrong on Spiritual matters, `For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat. However, strait is the gate, and narrow the way, which leadeth unto Life, and FEW there be that find it'. If we take Jesus at his Word, we know MATHEMATICALLY, that whatever Rome teaches, it is NOT the faith of Jesus Christ. And `Father' Brian Lucas, like his followers, is not qualified to meet his Creator, or to instruct others on God's unchanging Word. Incidentally, in His unchanging Word, Jesus said, `And call no man your father upon the earth: for One is your Father, which is in heaven'...IF you've been born-again. One wonders how `Father' Lucas feels in his heart about identifying with 14 million Jews who are anti-Catholic? Their `views' must seem extremely `far fetched' to the `Father', or he would be an hypocrite not to repent and receive them as his own. Perhaps the Executive Vice-President of Australian Jewry, Mr. Jeremy Jones, is himself anti-Catholic. Or do these two share precious moments rejoicing over what 14 million Jews hold as `the unchanging mind of God' recorded in their holy book, the Babylonian Talmud (completed in AD 500). Decrees which will not return to Him void, but will prosper in that for which they were sent. Did you know, God forbids any association between those not in agreement (Isaiah 8; Amos 3:3). Or according to your researches, have you found these two devout and sincere men share the common ground as expressed in these gleanings from the Talmud: --- GoldED/386 2.50.Beta5+ --- * Origin: Bible Believers BBS (61)-2-809-3723 West Ryde (3:711/933) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00006Date: 09/23/95 From: ANTHONY GRIGOR-SCOTT Time: 06:02pm \/To: CASIMIR@SMH.COM.AU (Read 2 times) Subj: Dishonesty & Deception #4 Did you know, God forbids any association between those not in agreement (Isaiah 8; Amos 3:3). Or according to your researches, have you found these two devout and sincere men share the common ground as expressed in these gleanings from the Talmud: * A JEW NOT ALLOWED TO MENTION THE THINGS WHICH CHRISTIANS USE FOR THEIR IDOLATROUS WORSHIP In Hilkhoth Akum (V, 12) it says: "It is also forbidden to make mention of the Akum; for it is written (Exodus 23:13). . . and make no mention of other gods." * THEIR IDOLS MUST BE SPOKEN OF WITH CONTEMPT In lore Dea (146, 15) it says: "Their idols must be destroyed, or called by contemptuous names." Ibidem, (147, 5): "It is permitted to deride idols, and it is forbidden to say to a Goi: May your God help you, or I hope you will succeed." (This would seem to be somewhat in conflict with decisions of the Latern Councils. In 1980, Rome reconfirmed the Decrees of the First Nicea Council and the Council of Ephesus which included adoring images, despite Exodus 20:3-4). Rabbi Bechai, explaining the text of Deuteronomy about hating idolatry, says: "The Scripture teaches us to hate idols and to call them by ignominious names. Thus, if the name of a church is Bethgalia - "house of magnifi- cence," it should be called Bethkaria - an insignificant house, a pigs' house, a latrine. For this word kario denotes a low-down, slum place." In numerous places ignominious names are given by the Jews to Christian things. It will not be out of place to list a few of these names which they give to things and persons which are held holy and dear by Christ- ians, as follows: JESUS is ignominiously called Jeschu - which means, May his name and memory be blotted out. His proper name in Hebrew is Jeschua, which means Salvation. MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, is called Charta - dung, excrement (German Dreck). In Hebrew her proper name is Miriam. CHRISTIAN SAINTS, the word for which in Hebrew is Kedoschim, are called Kededchim (cinaedos) - feminine men - (fairies, homosexuals, or `gays'). Women saints are called Kedeschoth, Whores. SUNDAY is called the day of calamity. FEAST OF CHRISTMAS is called Nital, denoting extermination. EASTER is not called by the proper word Pesach (Passover), but Ketsach, meaning a cutting down; or Kesach, a Gallows. A CHRISTIAN CHURCH is not called Beth Hattefillah, House of Prayer, but Beth Hattiflah, a House of Vanity, a House of Evil. THE GOSPEL BOOKS are called Aaron Gilaton, Books of Iniquity. CHRISTIAN SACRIFICES are called Dung Offerings. In the Jerusalem Talmud (fol. l3b) the following occurs: "He who sees them mezabbelim (excrementing - sacrificing) before their idol, let him say (Exodus 22:20): He that sacrificeth unto an idol shall be utterly destroyed." Rabbi Iarchi (referring to Numbers 25:3) teaches that the Gentiles actually honour their God by excrementing before him. * CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE KILLED BECAUSE THEY ARE TYRANTS Zohar (I, 25a) it says: "The People of the Earth are idolaters, and it has been written about them: Let them be wiped off the face of the earth. Destroy the memory of the Amalekites. They are with us still in this Fourth Captivity (See Daniel 2), namely, the Princes [of Rome] ... who are really Amalakites." * THESE PRINCES ARE TO BE KILLED FIRST For if they are allowed to live, the hope of the liberation of the Jews is in vain, and their prayers for release from this Fourth Captivity are of no avail. (See Daniel 2). In Zohar (I, 219b) it says: "It is certain that our captivity will last until the princes of the gentiles who worship idols are destroyed." And again in Zohar (II,19a) it says: "Rabbi Jehuda said: Come and see how it is; how the princes have assumed power over Israel and the Israelites make no outcry. But their rejoicing is heard when the prince falls. It is written that: the King of the Egyptians died and soon the children of Israel were released from cap- tivity; they cried out and their voice ascended to God." * THE PRINCEDOM WHOSE CHIEF CITY IS ROME IS THE ONE TO BE HATED MOST OF ALL BY THE JEWS They call it the Kingdom of Esau. and of the Edomites, the Kingdom of Pride, the Wicked Kingdom, Impious Rome. The Turkish Empire is called the Kingdom of the Ismaelites which they do not wish to destroy. The Kingdom of Rome, however, must be exterminated, because when corrupt Rome is destroyed, salvation and freedom will come to God's Chosen People. (cf. Synag. Jud. Chapter X, Page 212). Rabbi David Kimchi writes as follows in Obadiam: "What the Prophets foretold about the destruction of Edom in the last days was intended for Rome, as Isaiah 34:1 explain: Come near, ye na- tions, to hear... For when Rome is destroyed, Israel shall be redeemed." Rabbi Abraham also, in his book Tseror Hammor, section Schoftim, says the same: "Immediately after Rome is destroyed we shall be redeemed." Had you done your research you would have known that the role the Talmud plays in "Judaism" as it is practiced today is officially stated by the eminent Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer, the Director of Interreligious Activi- ties of The North American Jewish Committee and the President of the Jewish Chaplains Association of the Armed Forces of the United States. In his capacity as official spokesman for The American Jewish Committee, the self-styled "Vatican of Judaism", Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer wrote a most revealing and comprehensive article with the title, "What is a Jew" which was published as a featured article in Look Magazine in the June 17, 1952 issue. In that article Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer evaluated the significance of the Talmud to "Judaism" today. In that illuminating treatise on that important subject by the most qualified authority, at the time, Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer stated: "The Talmud consists of 63 books of legal, ethical and historical writ- ings of the ancient rabbis. It was edited centuries after the birth of Jesus. It is a compendium of law and lore. IT IS THE LEGAL CODE WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW AND IT IS THE TEXTBOOK USED IN THE TRAINING OF RABBIS:" --- GoldED/386 2.50.Beta5+ * Origin: Bible Believers BBS (61)-2-809-3723 West Ryde (3:711/933) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00007Date: 09/24/95 From: DON HERMAN Time: 05:16pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Citizens For Justice 1/3 The following is the Citizens For Justice Newsletter for September, 1995: WHY? (For our new Readers) Citizens for Justice was organized in March of 1983 by a group of people who had witnessed a grave injustice in the outcome of a trial in Whatcom County. Steve Carey was wrongfully convicted of arson and aggravated murder in connection with a trailer fire in which his wife and child died. Experts disagreed as to the cause of the fire, and Steve received a sentence of life imprisonment with no parole. It seemed to us at the time that if this could happen once it just might occur more frequently than we could imagine. Our research and correspondence since then has shown this to be true. And we have learned how extremely difficult it is to right such an injustice. Once a person is convicted, rightly or wrongly, everything is stacked against him. About three years ago we paid a retaining fee to James Lobsenz of Seattle. However, Mr. Lobsenz is unable to get to this case and has returned our retainer. During the summer Steve has been working diligently to find another attorney and we are hoping this will come about soon. It seems that nothing goes smoothly in the search for justice and we understand a little more rully what others have gone through in their struggles for vindication. Throughout the summer we have continued to receive letters from prisoners who detail their stories of wrongful conviction and ask for help. There simply aren't enough attorneys to handle these cases for indigents, so the "victims" of injustice learn to write their own briefs and try to find their way through the maze of rules for getting through our Appeals system. One prisoner writes us that the Department of Justice estimates that one-half of one percent of those convicted are innocent, while James McClosky of Centurion Ministries estimates 10% are innocent. Either way, that accounts for thousands each year nation-wide. THE FOUNDATIONS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE by Steve Carey The criminal justice system in the United States is a complex network of agencies at several levels that share power with each other and over specific jurisdictions. The system is designed so that there is a balance of power, with checks and balances, which preclused any one group or branch of government from accumulating too much power. The nature of this system is such that procedures are complex, sometimes ambiguous, and subject to influences from numerous sources but resistant to excessive influence from any one source. the primary foundation of all criminal justice practice in the United States is the U.S. Constitution. the Constitution is considered to be a living document that is subject to court interpretations regarding specific requirements at any given time. State constitutions also form a significant part of the foundation for practice. A state constitution can provide more, but not fewer, rights than those provided for in the U.S. constitution. These state and federal constitutions and laws are (or were) made by the public through elected legislatures, are enforced by elected or appointed officials of the executive branch, and are interpreted by elected or appointed judges in local, state and federal courts. The two basic principles upon which the representative democracy in the United States is based are federalism and separation of powers. Federalism simply means that there are various jurisdictions -- national, state and local -- that function to provide different rights, privileges, and services to the citizens of their jurisdictions. Separation of powers means that each government -- national, state, and local -- is further divided into three branches -- executive, legislative, and judicial -- which have separate powers regarding governmental matters and serve as a system of checks and balances in regard to the power exercised by each of the other branches. Each branch of government has its unique duties, rights, and powers; the system is designed to ensure that no one branch gains excessive power and influence. Because each branch is responsible to different political constituencies, and members serve different leangth of terms in some cases and share powers with other branches, there is a consistency to governmental procedures that allows for slow, deliberate, and appropriate change. radical shifts in public policy and governmental process are rare. One consequence of the separation of powers -- which some people view as negative -- is that government tends to act slowly and its actions are the result of compromises. WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS CONTINUE We have received from Peter Adlem of Saanichton, B.C., a copy of an atricle on Wrongful Conviction which appeared in the May 21 issue of the Times Colonist. the article was written by Mark Clayton for the Christian Science Monitor. It discusses at length the case of Guy Paul Morin, Canadian prisoner who was freed after nearly 10 years as the result of DNA testing. Also mentioned are David Milgaard, freed after 23 years, Rubin Carter after 18 years, and Ed Honaker of Virginia after 11 years. He points out that this is a problem in Britain as well as Canada and the U.S. We wish we could print the whole article, but it's very lengthy. So we will content ourselves with the insert which lists some common elements of wrongful convictions. they are: *THE OFFENCE.* Henous crimes and violence against women and children generate large-scale news media coverage and charge public emotions. Pressure is intense on prosecutors and police to find and convict someone of the crime. *ZEROING IN.* Under pressure, police latch onto something, perhaps a quirk of behavior, that causes them to target an innocent person as the prime suspect. Only then do police begin building a case, often minimizing or ignoring evidence that points to other suspects while exaggerating the importance of other clues. *SUPPRESSION OF EVIDENCE.* Prosecutors or police hide from the defence and the jury certain evidence or testimony that contradicts or undercuts their claim the defendant is guilty. *SLOPPY POLICE WORK.* Crucial evidence, usually supportive of the defendant, is lost, overlooked misconstrued, suppressed. Other evidence supportive of the prosecution is exaggerated or falsified. *SLOPPY DEFENCE LAWYERS.* Low paid, overworked public defenders often fail to point out flawed prosecution arguments. *JAIL-HOUSE CONFESSIONS.* Alleged confessions of guilt that are allegedly witnessed by undercover officers or inmates who are offered a deal by prosecutors in exchange for their testimony. Not infrequently the existence of the deal is unknown to a defendant's attorney and to the jury. *MISIDENTIFICATION BY EYE WITNESSES.* Many times eyewitnesses who did not get a good look at an attacker are encouraged or even coached by police to identify a particular person. *SPURIOUS "SCIENTIFIC" EVIDENCE" Forensic evidence subject to wide interpretation is offered by "expert" witnesses as conclusive. *BIASED JUDGES.* A judge may bias a jury by his comments or orders. Lawyers for falsely convicted Canadian Guy Paul Morin charge that the judge tilted toward the prosecution in numerous instances. The author goes on to say that Prime Minister John Major's government has agreed to create a new independent review board to examine alleged miscarriages of justice. such a board was formed in Massachusetts after a case in which two men thought innocent by many were executed in 1927. that board failed because its decisions were not accepted by the courts. This is a problem with several proposed solutions, such as outlawing convictions based on jail-house confessions or circumstantial evidence alone. >>> Continued to next message * SLMR 2.1a * Origin: Sophia Education BBS, Creswell, OR (503) 942-9400 - JetMail v1.20*6 - Unregistered QWK Mail Door for Spitfire --- FreeMail 1.10 alpha-3 * Origin: PEACHY KEENO INN BBS * Tacoma,Wa * (206)539-0804 (1:138/190.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00008Date: 09/24/95 From: DON HERMAN Time: 05:16pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Citizens For Justice 2/3 >>> Continued from previous message "Unfortunately higher courts frequently cannot be relied upon to reverse lower court abuses. In many cases appeals courts are either precluded from reviewing new evidence or else political concerns stymie the process." Some effort needs to be made toward facilitating reversal of wrong convictions. FAILURE BY DESIGN By Jacob Ferwerker Since the early 60's most jurisdictions have changed the names of their prisons to "correctional institutions" or "facilities." Yet, with a mid-year 1991 recidivism rate of 41%, they are defrauding the taxpayers. The prison departments of the various states should be called DEPARTMENTS OF REPRESSIONS AND CORRUPTIONS, as they repress and corrupt those who are put in their charge. Most likely, 70% of those first placed in prison didn't belong there. This accounts for why 59% don't come back to prison. The main problem is that we have a "justice system" that doesn't care if it punishes the guilty along with the innocent, while we have legislatures who view incarceration as a job issue and want to increase the rate of incarceration. Then we have high-ranking prison officials who desire a high recidivism rate as a job-security issue. They treat their charges in a dehumanizing fashion guaranteed to cause anger and disdain of all authority. Prisoners are prevented from rehabilitating themselves, with their own effort. they're prevented from even getting modern writing tools such as word-processors or/and computers. I'm not talking at taxpayer expense, I'm talking of those who have family and friends willing to get these items for them. These are not luxury items in today's America. Rather they are a job issure for released prisoners, as over 90% of the living-wage paying available to released prisoners require a high degree of proficiency in computers and word-processing. Isn't it strange that the prisons that have the most restrictive property policies generally have a higher recidivism rate than those who have liberal policies? Why do North Dakota and Minnesota have low incarceration and low recidivism rates? The rest of the nation should follow the policies, laws, judiciary and prison/prisoner management of these states, since they're doing something right! GOOD READING Your Editor has just finished reading a book by Andrew Tully entitled, "Supreme Court." It describes the turmoil of Justice Francis Copley Dalton, youngest member of the Supreme Court, as he tries to support his friend the President. Dalton is continually torn as to whether the rights of an individual should take precedence over the good of society. he finally reaches his answer and goes to the President to say he can no longer support him in changing the court. He says: "I'm afraid we -- all of us -- have been trying to tamper with something of vital importance to oour freedoms. We have been trying to achieve conformity in an area where conformity is a peril to the country. We have militated against the left, against the Communist menace which threatens our liberties. But the fact is that if we can curb the liberties of the left today, then at some later day we can do the same thing to the extreme right, or to the center, or to any other segment of opinion which at the moment happens to be unpopular." "And this is where our basic disagreement has come. Of course you must act for the majority. Every president must. But don't you see -- just as your function is to promote the welfare of the people as a whole, the function of the courts is to guard the welfare of the individual, of the minorities. Our function is to decide that any interference with the basic rights of the citizenry, as set forth by the Bill of Rights, is wrong." "It is our duty to keep the Bill of Rights abrest of the times, to use the Bill of Rights to thwart every modern, streamlined effort that comes along with the intent of abridging man's rights. It's been a long time since Thomas Jefferson and Madison, and over those years man has come up with some clever ruses to deprive his fellows of their liberties. This man is refused his rights because he is a Communist, this man because he is a Nazi, this man because he is always calling strikes. The courts must use the Bill of Rights to confound the oppressors, by whatever political names they call themselves, no matter what the temporary damage to the republic." "There has been much talk, especially here in the White House, that the Supreme Court is forever sticking its nose into matters that do not concern it. I now disagree. I believe it is time the Court acted to expand the area in which it exerts judicial influence. In the past, the court has been too unwilling to intervene in so-called 'political questions.' Well, political questions, so-called, involve people, and where people are involved the Court also should involve itself. I go even further. It is now my conviction that the Court should watch over people who are likely to get into trouble for political reasons, and should stand between them and that impending trouble. A citizen should be protected from getting into trouble; by the time he is in trouble it often is too late to help him." JOURNEY OF HOPE The Journey of Hope, sponsored by Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation (MVFR) will be in California September 22 to October 8. This is a two-week education tour of ten major cities in California. MVFR members, accompanied by firends and abolitionists from across the country, will travel from San Diego to Sacramento telling their stories and why they oppose the death penalty. It is a diverse and all-inclusive group which believes that healing happens not by vengeance but by reconciliation -- with society, the community, the act of murder itself and sometimes even the offender.

I was hungry and you eliminated the food stamp program; I was thirsty and you weakened the regulations protecting clean water; I was a stranger and you denied my children education and treated me like a criminal; I was naked and you told me to get a job: I was sick and you turned me away from the hospital; I was in prison and you told me I could never earn parole." (*We found this in the sunday Bulletin of August 6, 1995, at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Juneau, Alaska.*) REHABILITATION? In his book, "The Jury Returns," published in 1968, author and famous defense attorney Louis Nezer responds to the statement by the prosecution that rehabilitation is not a basis for clemency: "This was a correct statement of the law, but it infuriated me. It reduced punishment to mere vengeance, or warning for the future. It ignored, no, worse than that, it rejected what seemed to me to be the only conscionable ground for ever inflicting pain -- the hope of reform and redemption. Had we not in the twentieth century emerged from the darkness of death by retaliation? Was there no higher purpose for the burtalizing exaction of ending life, than that we had sated ourselves with revenge? Where rehabilitation has occurred, the total objective of punishment, it seemed to me, had been achieved. yet the law said rehabilitation was not a basis for clemency. It was a law which had to be reformed and I was burning to make the attempt. ---- As I dozed off, I thought of the words of Nathaniel Hawthorne: 'The best of us being unfit to die, what an inexpressible absurdity it is to put the worst to death.'" >>> Continued to next message * SLMR 2.1a * Origin: Sophia Education BBS, Creswell, OR (503) 942-9400 - JetMail v1.20*6 - Unregistered QWK Mail Door for Spitfire --- FreeMail 1.10 alpha-3 * Origin: PEACHY KEENO INN BBS * Tacoma,Wa * (206)539-0804 (1:138/190.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 210 VICTIMS/FALSEACC Ref: CDW00009Date: 09/24/95 From: DON HERMAN Time: 05:16pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Citizens For Justice 3/3 >>> Continued from previous message NEWSLETTER published bimonthly by CITIZENS FOR JUSTICE, PO Box 5511, Bellingham, WA 98227.
