Orthodox Jews And Haredi Continue Spitting On Christians In Jerusalem's Old City, But Don't Dare Spit At Muslims

Apparently Friedrich Braun's "new friends" don't want to return the favor. On November 26th, 2009, the Jerusalem Post and Western Voices World News reported that the practice of Orthodox Jews and haredi spitting on Christians in the old city of Jerusalem continues unabated. This has been an ongoing problem; previous reports are available from 2004 and from 2007. Dr. David Duke also addressed this issue in 2004.

But although these reports only break the surface periodically, anti-Christian Orthodox Jews, overwhelmingly boys and young men, have been spitting with regularity on priests and nuns in the Old City for about 20 years, and the problem is getting worse. To add insult to injury, the only Israeli religious authority who has shown any serious concern over this matter is Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger.

On November 11th, 2009, Metzger addressed a letter to the rabbis of the Jewish Quarter, writing that he had heard a grave rumor about yeshiva students offending heaven…[by] spitting on Christian clergy who walk about the Old City of Jerusalem. Such attackers, he added, are almost tantamount to rodfim, or persecutors, which is one of the worst class of offenders in Jewish law. They violate the injunction to follow the pathways of peace, and are liable to provoke anti-Semitism overseas.

The police tend to wink at the practice. If they happen to be on the scene, they will chase the hooligans, but even if they catch them, they only tell them off and let them go, according to several Christian clergymen. "The police tell us to catch them and bring them in, but then they tell us not to use violence, so how are we supposed to catch them?" asked Father Samuel Aghoyan, a very fit-looking 68-year-old. "Once a boy came up to me and spat in my face, and I punched him and knocked him down, and an Armenian seminarian and I brought him to the police station [next to the Armenian Quarter]. They released him in a couple of hours. I've made many, complaints to the police, I'm tired of it. Nothing ever gets done."

Jury In Hal Turner Federal Trial In Brooklyn Hopelessly Deadlocked; Judge Donald Walter Declares Mistrial, Orders New Trial For March 1st, 2010

While Red Auerbach smoked victory cigars after a Boston Celtics victory, Hal Turner contents himself with a victory cigarette after the mistrial.

Jury deliberations in the Federal trial of Hal Turner, which began on Friday December 4th and which quickly became deadlocked, were declared deadlocked once again on Monday December 7th, 2009. Consequently, Judge Donald Walter decided that the jury was hopelessly hung and chose to declare a mistrial in the case. Media stories from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and NorthJersey.com. The New York Daily News is also running a poll on the case on its main page. Daryle Lamont Jenkins provides an on-site report on One People's Project. Also picked up by Raw Story; comments solicited, registration not required.

The only juror to speak to reporters afterward, 58-year-old Long Island truck driver Richard Gardiner, said the jury voted 9 to 3 in favor of acquittal, with the majority seeing the government's case as weak. He said he held out for a conviction because he did think it was a threat. Gardiner told the Daily News "He's [Turner] a publicity seeker and he wants to be a bigger force than he was. By acquitting him, he would become bigger and stronger." But Gardiner also thinks that the biggest problem in the case was that the prosecution bailed out in the case too early. The jury consisted of five White men, two White women, two Black women, two Latina women and the one Asian man. However, any of the seven Whites could actually be Jews; Jews are considered "white" by mainstream society, despite significant evidence to the contrary.

Once again, prosecutors attempted to get the Asian juror, Wei Wang, identified as a hedge fund manager from Queens, excused from the jury for "improperly directing other jurors during deliberations", but the defense resisted and the judge allowed Wang to remain. The prosecution had previously tried to get Wang excluded because of "excessive devotion to the First Amendment", but those challenges were also rebutted. The 47-year-old Turner left the courthouse without commenting, because Judge Walter's gag order is still in effect.

The gag order remains effective because the case is not dismissed with prejudice, so a second trial is in the offing. Judge Walter has set a new trial date for March 1st, 2010. The case arose earlier this year after three judges from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals - Richard Posner, Frank Easterbrook and William Bauer - upheld a ruling that dismissed lawsuits challenging handgun bans in Chicago and in suburban Oak Park, Illinois.

Meanwhile, the separate Connecticut state case awaits Turner. He is awaiting trial on state charges, accused of inciting injury to persons for urging blog readers to "take up arms" against state lawmakers there who proposed legislation to give Roman Catholic lay members more control over parish finances.

Denver Police Now Believe Organized Black Gangbangers Deliberately Targeted Whites For Racial Reasons In Mugging Attacks In Downtown Denver

Open Season On Whites In Downtown Denver

Although SPLC Intelligence Project Director Mark Potok continued to stubbornly deny that black-on-white crime in the United States is racially-motivated during a recent interview with Jim Giles on Radio Free Mississippi, the facts seem to state otherwise, according to Denver Police. In the wake of the November 20th, 2009 arrest of 35 black gangbangers in a 24-hour sweep in downtown Denver, police report that the gangbangers targeted whites for racial reasons. Note that this latest story confirms it is now 35 who have been arrested.

KDVR Channel 31 reports that the majority of the group are gang members from either Rolling 60 Crips or Black Gangster Disciples. The suspects targeted only White or Hispanic people to beat up and/or rob. Twenty-eight victims were men. And three were women who were with the male victims. "Without warning, the suspects would attack the victim, usually with a punch to the head, with the intent of knocking him unconscious. Other suspects would then join the assault. And in some instances, rob the victims of their personal items--cash, wallets, credit cards, cell phones, iPods, etc.," says Denver Police Chief Gerald Whitman. They allegedly committed 26 crimes from July 17th through November 17th. In addition, they also allegedly videotaped the attacks and sold the tapes online.

Additional documents released since the story first broke indicate the suspects told police they specifically targeted white men, they called "crackers". They would approach a victim saying things like "it smells like white people" and "i hate (expletive) white people." The suspects told police they felt two black gangs "owned" sections of LoDo [Lower Downtown] near The Bash nightclub around the 1400 block of 19th Street and wanted to beat up white men in that area to teach them not to come downtown unless they "brought their friends for protection.' Links to the arrest affidavits are provided below:

-- 24-page Arrest affidavit #1
-- 17-page Arrest affidavit #2
-- 18-page Arrest affidavit #3

Watch KDVR news video embedded below:



However, the suspects and their cheerleaders are already engaging in damage control. One of the suspects, Ian Curwen, told the Denver Post that just because they say racial slurs, it doesn't mean he or others in his group are racist. To prove he's not a racist, he cites the fact that he married a white woman and has sired two kids. Of course, he fails to explain why his wife and two kids are up in Montana while he's living in Denver. Perhaps she realized what a terrible mistake she made in marrying a black man and found it necessary to get away from him.

And Paula Whitehead, the mother of one of the other suspects, Kavean McCloud, is making excuses for her son. She stated that when Kavean's dad left, then afterwards his older brother left, it left the proverbial "void" in Kavean's life, causing him to look for a substitute father-figure or brother-figure, yada, yada, yada. And she also claimed that Kavean was such a good kid with a bright future, ranked 10th last year in the state for scoring in basketball at Love Christian School, and already "besieged" with scholarship offers. If you think you can stomach it, you can watch the poor mama cry to the media below:



Pathetic, itz! Other media stories from KMGH Channel 7, and this earlier Denver Post article which shows how the mayor and city council are already tap-dancing, trying to cover their asses. Mayor John Hickenlooper is the same clown who allowed Rene Marie to sing an Africanized National Anthem at the State of the City event on July 1st, 2008.

Former ANSWP Activists Michael Burks And Dan Jones FBI Informants According To ANSWP Commander Bill White; FreeBillWhite Website An FBI Front

ANSWP Commander Bill White has sent a letter to Vanguard News Network Forum webmaster Alex Linder, in which he provides an update on his present situation. In this letter, he accuses former ANSWP activists Michael Burks and Dan Jones of being FBI informants, and states that the FreeBillWhite website is an FBI front. He said that Burks, along with Justin Boyer and Tim Bland, were working for an as-yet unnamed private anti-racist group, deliberately disrupting my activities and alienating other members of the group, as early as mid-2007. Dan Jones is NOT accused of working with any anti-racist groups, but Bill White implies that Jones may have been intimidated into working for the FBI as a result of charges levied against him in October 2009, when he was indicted for mailing a noose to the Lima, Ohio NAACP leader.

It should be noted that I have seen no corroboration of the claims against Dan Jones or the FreeBillWhite website. Update: It appears that Jones, under his nickname of R Nokes, has posted a denial HERE.

White also claims that the Federal government attempted to infiltrate and use the American National Socialist Workers Party as a terrorist organization, repeatedly tried to set him up, and, after failing, decided to arrest and brutalize him into confessing to crimes he didn't commit. His upcoming Federal trial in Roanoke is scheduled to begin on December 9th, and in a recent development on December 2nd, Judge James Turk declined to dismiss the charges against Bill White, saying that although the indictment may not be sufficient to go to a jury, it is sufficient to go to trial. Turk also opted not to have an anonymous jury; the government had wanted to identify jurors only by number to protect them from possible harm by White. The charges are spelled out HERE.

Here's the letter, cross-posted from this VNN Forum thread (after the jump):

Day 4 Of The Hal Turner Federal Trial In Brooklyn; After Closing Arguments, Case Delivered To Multiracial Jury, Deliberations Already Bogging Down

Post updated 4:40 P.M. with information from One People's Project, whose representative attended the trial. I also decided to remove the photoshopped image, since it had served its purpose, and replace it with the original photo.



On Day 4 of the Hal Turner Federal trial in Brooklyn on December 4th, 2009, attorneys for both sides delivered closing arguments, after which the case was delivered to the jury. For the first time, we get a media report on the demographic breakdown of the jury; NorthJersey.com reports that the jury consists of five White men, two White women, two Black women, two Latina women and one Asian man. And already, serious differences within the jury have arisen; less than three hours after receiving the case, the jury has already declared itself "hopelessly deadlocked", although they've been directed by Judge Donald Walter to resume deliberations.

Media sources:

-- "Jury gets case of North Bergen right wing shock jock Hal Turner today", NorthJersey.com

-- "Prosecutors Say Blogger Was Inciting Hate", New York Times

-- "Jury gets case of blogger accused of judge threats", Associated Press

-- "Jury deadlocked in case of North Bergen shock jock Hal Turner", NorthJersey.com

Note: You can review all posts on the Hal Turner Federal trial HERE, with the most recent post appearing first.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Ridgeway, who delivered the closing argument for the prosecution, said Turner’s blog posting that the federal appeals judges “deserved to be killed” was “undoubtedly a serious expression to inflict injury.” Ridgway also stated that there is no right to threaten violence against people, and that the judges received that threat merely by virtue of doing their jobs.

Nishay Sanan, who represented the defense, countered by comparing Turner to such shock jocks as Howard Stern and Don Imus. “Giving your opinion is not a crime,” said Sanan of Turner’s blog posting that the judges “deserved to be killed.” Sanan also reminded the court of the evidence that his client once was a paid FBI informant in investigations of neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups, and stated that in return for his services, Turner only got betrayal.

Interesting how a supposed "white nationalist blogger" like Hal Turner entrusted his defense to a racially non-White defense team, isn't it?

The trial, originally expected to last as long as two weeks, was reduced to only four days when the prosecution called only six witnesses and the defense none. The three 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allegedly targeted by Turner — Richard Posner, Frank Easterbrook and William Bauer - had been engaged to testify for the prosecution, but were never called upon. New Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie and U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman were subpoenaed to testify for the defense, but that effort also fizzled. During a press conference, Gov. Christie said he never issued a letter to Hal Turner nor made a general, blanket decision promising Turner that he would never be prosecuted for the inciteful things he says.

And now the jury has already run up against a brick wall in deliberations. One People's Project reveals that the Asian juror had earlier identified himself as being particularly knowledgeable about the First Amendment. But Judge Walter felt that he presented no issues during the course of the trial, and chose to keep him on. This leads me to believe that the Asian juror is the most likely person to be hanging the jury. Turner has gotten some support nationwide from First Amendment activists, so the difficulty in deliberations is not surprising. The stakes are high; if Turner is convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. And Turner still has the Connecticut state incitement charges to face.

There's also late word that if the Federal jury in Brooklyn hangs, a re-trial could take place as early as June 1st, 2010.

White Revolution Chairman Billy Roper Interviewed By The Daily Beast; Introduces The Nationalist Party Of America

While visiting the White Revolution website, I learned that the organization's chairman, Billy Roper (pictured at left), was recently interviewed by The Daily Beast. Roper's input was incorporated into an article entitled "Stopping the Next McVeigh" by James Verini, which was published on November 7th, 2009.

Verini's interest in this subject was quickened by the twin rallies mounted by the National Socialist Movement in Phoenix, Arizona and Austin, Minnesota during the weekend of November 7th. According to Verini, law enforcement officials are having apocalyptic visions of "Tim McVeigh II"; they believe the upsurge in visibility is more than anecdotal, as they claim that levels of agitation among extremist groups are the highest since McVeigh’s attack in Oklahoma City in 1995.

Verini contacted two individuals. The first was James Ambrose, an Idaho truck driver who founded the Idaho Citizens Constitutional Militia in 2008. The ICCM is listed in the “militia contacts” section of the website “A Well Regulated Militia", and his email is listed on ICCM’s site. Ambrose, 34 and unmarried, is a veteran of the Army, in which he served as an artillery specialist, though not in Iraq or Afghanistan. (He was stationed in Korea and Fort Bragg.) He says the ICCM now has 40 members, about half of them veterans.

But of even greater interest to the White Nationalist community is the second person contacted, Billy Roper. Although Verini characterized White Revolution’s website as "somewhat rambling and hysterical", he acknowledged that Roper is "almost unnervingly articulate in conversation". Roper also discussed his newest political creation, the Nationalist Party of America. Here's the segment on Billy Roper:

There were “two reactions among people of my political stripe,” to Obama’s election, he told me when I reached him on the phone at his home in Arkansas, which was not difficult; his number is listed on White Revolution’s website. “The first was panic. The paranoid mind-set was that we’d all be rounded up and put in a gulag. The other reaction was that this will be a wake-up call for people.” Roper situated himself in the second camp. “People are going to become increasingly disenchanted with Obama’s America.”

And that is why Roper is running for president in 2012, which he called a “last-ditch election year” for America. His Nationalist Party of America has completed its platform and is already raising money. “We don’t anticipate winning or even being a spoiler for either party,” Roper admitted, but he intends to add to the debate. He says he is especially excited about the health-care proposals. They focus on HMO reform. [Ed. Note: Those proposals are outlined on NolanChart.]

“For years, white Americans were just concerned with watching sports and drinking beer and being consumers,” Roper said. “They were like bad puppies. Obama is like the rolled up newspaper smacking their butt. And now they’re baring their teeth. We’re at the stage kind of like the original 13 colonies around 1760. We’re at that awkward stage of the revolution when it’s too late to work within the system and too early to shoot the bastards.”

But Roper observed that any violence against the president would be counterproductive. “Harming Obama would be one of the worst things that could happen to our cause,” he said. “It would lead to the entire weight and power of the government coming down on our heads.”

The Nationalist Party of America promotes genuine reform. Billy Roper wants to replace most current forms of taxation with a national sales tax of 23 percent to fund the federal government and restrict states to levying a state sales tax of no more the 5 percent. He promotes zero tolerance on illegal immigration and a reduction in legal immigration to manageable levels, with no chain migration. He supports corporal punishment for petty criminals and the death penalty for pedophiles with corroborative DNA evidence. He wants to bar homosexuals and illegal aliens from military service.

But, outside his health care reform package, the most intriguing part of the NPA platform is copyright reform. The practice of defining intellectual property using the same ground rules as real property is becoming a nuisance at the very least, and a real nightmare for some. There are endless squabbles between bloggers and media outlets over "fair use". The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has been terrorizing housewives and college students with legal action for innocently downloading a few tunes. Consequently, Billy Roper wants to re-visit this whole realm of "intellectual property", proposing wholesale copyright reform, patent reform, trademark reform, abolition of the DMCA and related subsequent provisions within copyright law, and outright separation of intellect from property. No other candidate or party has the guts to address this thorny issue.

While Billy Roper is an experienced activist well-versed in the power of political persuasion, he might do well to review this recent TOQ Online interview with Dr. David Duke, who put forth 11 tips for White activists who run for elections. Of particular interest is number six, where Dr. Duke states, "Make your program true to our principles, but focused on issues that will get you votes, not cost you votes. Issues that will separate you from the crowd and give the most people strong reasons not to vote for you", and "Go with issues that have the most support among our people that are consonant with our views". Also noteworthy is number seven, where he states, "It is vital that one does not sell out our basic concepts, yet at the same time present our views in way that is appealing rather than unattractive or disingenuous. It is tightrope that you must learn to walk if you take part in the political process".

What makes Dr. Duke's advice particularly worth considering is...he actually won an election.

Day 3 Of The Hal Turner Federal Trial In Brooklyn; Defense Calls NO Witnesses, Both Sides Abruptly Rest Their Cases

Hal Turner during his salad days, addressing an NSM rally in Washington, D.C. Note who's standing to HIS left...Bill White, who's also preparing for Federal trial. Ironic, isn't it?

In Day 3 of the Hal Turner Federal trial in Brooklyn on December 3rd, 2009, the big surprise to most observers was that after the prosecution presented their six witnesses, the defense called NO witnesses. The dramatic free-speech defense hinted at by Turner defense attorney Michael Orozco never materialized. Both sides have rested their cases. Also read a much more detailed account published by Daryle Lamont Jenkins on One People's Project; despite DLJ's reputation as an anti, the report is fairly objective.

Note: You can review all posts on the Hal Turner Federal trial HERE, with the most recent post appearing first.

Both the prosecution and the defense will present closing arguments on Thursday December 4th, after which the case will go to the jury. There are already unsubstantiated rumours floating around the Web that the judge may dismiss the case after the final arguments instead of delivering it to the jury. Even if that happens, Turner still has the Connecticut state incitement charges to face, in which he's accused of targeting Senator Andrew McDonald, Rep. Michael Lawlor and Thomas Jones, an enforcement officer at the Office of State Ethics, with comments considered by police to be incendiary. If convicted of inciting injury to persons or property, Turner faces a maximum prison sentence of up to 10 years.

William Norman Grigg, a longtime member of the John Birch Society, discusses the Hal Turner case on Pro Libertate. He describes Turner as just another prefabricated fascist in an assembly line of FBI provocateurs, comparing him with infamous FBI snitch David Gletty, who organized an NSM rally in Orlando, FL in 2006. Grigg also believes the NSM to be an FBI-controlled false-flag operation; to further support his contention, he refers to a recent mainstream immigration reform rally in Phoenix in which NSM operative J.T. Ready shows up...brandishing a Hitler poster. One of the ralliers attempted to seize the poster, triggering a physical altercation. Even more interesting is that Phoenix New Times antiracist blogger Stephen Lemons gets downright chummy with Ready.

This, in turn, induced ALIPAC's volatile, unstable, and egotistical William Gheen, who desperately seeks absolution from the SPLC, to chimp out and send a hysterical e-mail to Dr. David Duke and Stormfront, virtually "ordering" them to stay out of his organization's business. What better for the Feds than to use "white nationalist" provocateurs to sow division and dissension within the immigration reform movement, as well as to make legitimate white nationalists look like fools.

I wonder if Bill White ever dreamed that when he was standing beside Hal Turner at that NSM rally, that he was standing beside a world-class snitch. I also wonder if Turner has anything to do with White's own legal troubles.

Day 2 Of The Hal Turner Federal Trial In Brooklyn; Is Turner A Domestic Terrorist Or A Free Speech Activist?

Note: You can review all posts on the Hal Turner Federal trial HERE, with the most recent post appearing first.




On Day 2 of the Hal Turner Federal trial held in Brooklyn on December 2nd, 2009, two different portraits of Turner were painted in opening statements. While Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hogan characterized Turner as a domestic terrorist, Turner's lawyer Michael Orozco countered that Turner was merely exercising his right of free speech when he wrote on his blog last June that three federal appeals court judges deserved to be killed for upholding a ban on handguns in Chicago. He characterized the trial as a witch hunt.

Media stories:

-- "North Bergen shock jock called terrorist, harmless showman", NorthJersey.com

-- "Two Views of a Radio Host on Trial Over Threats to Judges", New York Times

-- "Trial Begins For Man Who Said: ‘These Judges Deserve to be Killed’", Wall St. Journal Law Blog

-- "The Hal Turner Trial Day 1", Lady Liberty's Lamp

Hogan spoke for an hour and had to be cut off by the judge. During that time, he downplayed Turner's importance to the FBI, He stated that Hal Turner was kicked out as an informant because he stepped over the line, and added that the FBI was not in the business of instructing Hal Turner what to write on his blog. Hogan further stated that his postings against the three judges went far beyond mere political rhetoric and is not protected by the First Amendment.

Orozco only took 30 minutes to deliver his statement, saying that it was about the right to criticize judicial officials. He said that although Turner was a productive informant, he was basically an entertainer. “Mr. Turner was nothing but a shock jock, a radio personality whose hand was guided by the FBI,” Orozco said.

Afterwards, a string of FBI agents took the stand to testify about Turner’s blog and his work as an informant. In several cases, Turner, smiling widely, stood and waved to agents he recognized, including the agent who arrested him, and another who supervised him as an informant. One of the agents identified was Mark Wallschleager

Another was Amy Pickett, now the third highest ranking FBI agent in the bureau’s New York City field office. She said Turner was never told he could use violent threats when she supervised him as an informant when she worked with Newark-based Joint Terrorism Task Force and knew him by the code name, “Valhalla.” Pickett said Turner’s information was considered valuable by the FBI. But she said he quit briefly as an informant when the FBI asked him to remove threatening statements from his blog.

Meanwhile, Governor-elect Chris Christie said that US Attorney Paul Fishman, who holds Christie's former job, has also been subpoenaed by Turner’s lawyers. On Tuesday, Christie was subpoenaed. He said that he forwarded his subpoena to Fishman’s office. “They’re going to interact with the court in Brooklyn [about] whether or not my testimony will be appropriate or required and so I leave it to them to handle,” Christie said. “Whatever the appropriate thing to do is, I’ll do. Beyond that, because I’m under subpoena, I should probably not talk about the substance today.”

The fact that Hal Turner was under FBI control has not escaped the notice of Kingston (NY) Mayor James Sottile. Back in October 2005, Turner led a Rally Against Black Gang Terrorism in Kingston after a white student, Robbie Hedrick, was brutally assaulted by a supersized black thug at the local high school. An estimated 40 white activists were offset by 200 antis, and the resultant police protection cost the city $80,000. So because the FBI is assumed to be involved, Sottile wants them to reimburse the city for the expense. He is supported in his request by Kingston Police Chief Gerald Keller and Kingston Alderwoman Ann Marie DiBella.

An FBI spokesman said in an e-mail that the bureau had not yet received the mayor’s request. “To the best of our knowledge no such request has been received at FBI headquarters,” said Special Agent Bryan L. Travers of the FBI’s Newark NJ branch. “All requests of that nature are handled by the FBI headquarters and evaluated and resolved based on their own merits.”

Day 1 Of The Hal Turner Federal Trial In Brooklyn; Jury Not Seated, Opening Arguments Delayed, Governor Christie Subpoenaed

Note: You can review all posts on the Hal Turner Federal trial HERE, with the most recent post appearing first.


Day 1 of the Hal Turner Federal trial in Brooklyn, New York on December 1st was marked by jury problems as efforts to seat a complete jury foundered. As a result, opening arguments by both sides had to be delayed until Wednesday December 2nd.

Media stories:

-- "North Bergen blogger Hal Turner subpoenas Chris Christie", NorthJersey.com
-- "Records show feds used ultra-right radio host for years", NorthJersey.com

Hal Turner’s trial was supposed to begin Tuesday with opening arguments, but U.S. District Court Judge Donald Walter, who was brought in from Louisiana to hear the case, changed the schedule when he could not complete jury selection. Walter thought he had enough jurors seated, but after allowing the panel to go to lunch, several returned and said they had conflicts and could not serve. By that time, Walter had dismissed other members of the larger jury pool. The judge then dispatched U.S. Marshals to track down other potential jurors and order them to come to court for consideration to be included in the jury – with the added request that the potential jurors don’t go home and check the Internet to learn more about Turner.

In addition, New Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie was subpoenaed to testify as a defense witness. Turner’s defense attorney, Michael Orozco, said he hopes to question Christie about whether Federal prosecutors in Newark made a blanket decision not to file charges against Turner after previous threatening statements on the radio or on his blog. Gov. Christie will be asked to explain why he never prosecuted Turner for similar threats against senators, judges and even President Obama. A spokesman for Christie, who oversaw the Federal prosecutors as U.S. Attorney, confirmed he had received the subpoena, but declined comment.

Turner is accused of posting an appeal on his former website calling for appellate judges Frank Easterbrook, William Bauer and Richard Posner to be killed after they affirmed a lower court decision June 2nd to dismiss challenges to Chicago's handgun ban. If convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The three judges are slated to testify at the trial.

Hammerskin Nation Distributes White Power Flyers In Long Beach, Mississippi

On December 2nd, 2009, the Biloxi-Gulfport Sun-Herald reported that white power flyers attributable to the Hammerskin Nation were distributed in the Pecan Park area of Long Beach, Mississippi. The brochures, which were in plastic bags filled with rocks, were reportedly distributed to households in the area early on Tuesday December 1st and Wednesday December 2nd. Police Chief Wayne McDowell said his department is investigating, and at a minimum, the offenders could be subject to littering fines.

It is not known whether the distributor is an actual member of the Hammerskins or merely a sympathizer. According to the Hammerskin Nation website, the Hammerskin Nation is a leaderless group of men and women who have adopted the White Power Skinhead lifestyle. Contrary to the sensationalist media stereotypes, they encompass a wide variety of people, including blue collar workers, white collar professionals, college students, entrepreneurs, fathers and mothers. The Hammerskin brotherhood is way of achieving goals which they have all set for ourselves. These goals are many but can be summed up with one phrase consisting of 14 words; "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children."

Hammerskin Nation is subdivided into regional affiliates throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Confederate Hammerskins are the regional affiliate for the southern U.S. The history of the Hammerskin movement is described HERE, and, to their credit, they don't whitewash their history. They own up to the growing pains that they've experienced, particularly during an earlier period of explosive growth. But as they began to stress quality over quantity, they've also showed how they've learned from their mistakes. Their end goal is to hold skinheads to a higher standard for the rest of their existence as the world’s oldest leading skinhead organization.

The Hammerskins don't take guff from antis. Antifa who confront the NSM and the Klan steer clear of the Hammerskins. As one poster on One People's Project put it, "...doing a face to face confrontation with Confederate Hammerskins is a bad idea".

By the way, the city of Long Beach continues its recovery from Katrina. A progress report is available HERE, and you can view some of the photos of the destruction wrought by Katrina HERE.

Anti-Racist Expo Foundation Reports Major Upsurge In White Power Groups And Activity In Sweden As Swedish Patriots Fight Back Against Multiculturalism

On December 2nd, 2009, The Local reports that the anti-racist Expo Foundation has determined that 39 white power groups were active in Sweden in 2008, with 25 of the groups having been created in 2007 or 2008. In addition, they found that 1,946 actions were carried out by white power groups during the year, roughly 800 more than the year before. The most common activity was the dissemination of propaganda, followed by various types of demonstrations and lectures. All legal.

The Expo Foundation further reports that almost all activity can be tied to one of four organizations:

-- The National Socialist Front, later becoming the People’s Front (Folkfronten, Google English translation HERE)

-- Info 14 (Google English translation HERE) and the associated network of Free Nationalists (Fria Nationalister, Google English translation HERE)

-- The Swedish Resistance Movement (Svenska motståndsrörelsen, Google English translation HERE)

-- The Nordic Union, with its associated Resistance (Motstånd, Google English translation HERE) network.

The Expo Foundation bills itself as a privately-owned research foundation founded in 1995 with the aim of studying and mapping anti-democratic, right-wing extremist and racist tendencies in society. The foundation is run on a non-profit basis. The Expo platform safeguards democracy and freedom of speech against racist, right-wing extremist, anti-Semitic and totalitarian tendencies throughout society. Yet the Foundation also claims to be not connected to any specific parties or political groups, even though they do not monitor anti-racist left-wing extremists, who are generally responsible for much more violence.

Former National Alliance Activists Shaun Walker, Travis Massey, And Eric Egbert No Longer POWs; All Now Released From Federal Prison

On his website, former National Alliance Chairman Shaun Walker disclosed that he was released from Federal prison at 5:00 A.M. on November 27th, 2009. This information has also been verified by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A further check of the BOP database reveals that his co-defendants were previously released as well; Travis Massey on July 24th, 2009, and Eric Egbert on October 21st, 2009. Thus closes out one of the more sordid chapters of Federal judicial railroading in recent history. There have been no known mainstream media stories about the release of these men.

While the three, upon advice of their defense counsels, chose not to take the stand in their own defense during their April 2007 trial in Salt Lake City, Shaun Walker provides a detailed account of the actual events HERE. Walker provides a shorter version of events during a March 2009 interview with independent journalist Roy Armstrong:

People's Republic Of Wisconsin Becomes 32nd State To Recognize Juneteenth As Official State Holiday

Wisconsin became the 32nd U.S. state to officially recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday when Democratic Governor Jim Doyle signed SB170 into law on December 1st, 2009, despite the fact that Wisconsin was never a part of the Confederate States of America. Thus June 19th now becomes an official legal holiday in Wisconsin. The official designation will not affect the number of paid holidays given to state employees.

Doyle was joined by Reverend Ronald Myers, National Chairman of Juneteenth Day, and Mac Weddle, the executive director of the Northcott House and local president of Juneteenth Day, for the signing at Northcott Neighborhood Center in Milwaukee. "Milwaukee has long celebrated Juneteenth Day and I am proud that Wisconsin is moving forward to recognize this important holiday across the state,” Governor Doyle said. “Juneteenth Day marks a historic milestone in our nation’s history and celebrates the freedom that unites all Americans.”

Legislators specifically lauded for their efforts in making this bill possible include Senators Spencer Coggs (D) and Lena Taylor (D), and Representatives Tamara Grigsby (D) and Leon Young (D). All Democrats. All black.

But Juneteenth celebrations in Milwaukee have a checkered past. In 2007, a man was pulled from his car and beaten and a police officer injured while trying to break up a large-scale fight after the festival let out. It was the second year in a row that police in riot gear were used to disperse the crowds. Violence is periodically reported at other Juneteenth celebrations around the country.

In addition to Wisconsin, the list of states conferring holiday status upon Juneteenth include Kansas, *Texas, *Florida, Oklahoma, Delaware, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, California, Wyoming, Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, *Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, *Arkansas, Oregon, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, *Virginia, Washington State, *Tennessee, Massachusetts, *North Carolina, West Virginia, *South Carolina, Vermont, Nebraska, as well as the District of Columbia. Former Confederate states are denoted by an asterix, so you can see the commemoration has spread far beyond the former Confederacy.

Some object to the holiday as a glorification of black ignorance, while others claimed there were already occasions enough on the calendar to recognize the African-American experience, including Emancipation Day, celebrated on January 1st, the day Lincoln's proclamation went into effect. And with Martin Luther King's Birthday established as an official forum for discussions of race, some still question the need for another black holiday. But apologists for the holiday say Juneteenth appeals to many Americans by celebrating the end of slavery without dwelling on its legacy. Juneteenth, its celebrators say, is Martin Luther King's Birthday without the grieving.

Assuming, of course, that one actually "grieves".
