LITTLE WONDER...


Little Wonder…
By Nicole Nichols

During the last few weeks, out in the Blogosphere that has become home, and almost second nature, for pundits, truth-seekers, philosophers, and some really good writers, it has become evident that racism and bigotry is flourishing in these United States of America. As is the thinking man’s disposition, a reason for such things is always desired. Therefore, it is the norm, rather than the exception, for each of us to attempt to present viable and well-thought out explanations for this upsurge in hateful and discriminatory actions and rhetoric.

How can one explain something that is utterly indefensible, you may ask. Is it even possible to attribute any logic to something as illogical as racism? Probably not. However, the variables at play, which may be accountable for the recent public display of that which has previously been kept at a low boil just below the surface of the American landscape can certainly be explored.

It has been noted by a few that discussion of race and race relations are subjects that have been almost forbidden in modern society. A cursory surf of internet discussion boards will attest to that assertion. Generally speaking, once the dialogue changes to address those topics, either the subject is changed or interchanges cease. Additionally, race, racism, etc. is certainly not part of dinner party repartee.

This refusal of people in our society to even broach one of the most important and acute issues facing Americans today only exacerbates a situation that has reached malignant proportions and promises to reach dangerous heights in the coming years. The first step in finding a solution is always acknowledging that there is a problem.

Hate, in and of itself, is a natural emotion. Racism is not. How many of us didn’t hate whoever was responsible for the September 11th attacks? In the aftermath, we wanted revenge. We wanted an eye for an eye. Initially, we wanted Al Qaeda so bad that the hatred in this country was almost palpable. However, when we saw the anguish that goes along with war, when we saw the destruction of human life, our hatred began to wane. We were still angry. We still wanted revenge. But, we didn’t want revenge at the cost of innocent people – unlike the terrorists.

Racism, on the other hand, knows no such boundaries. It is hate and that hate is vengeful and relentless. For that reason, it is little wonder that organized hate groups in this country have been labeled “domestic terrorists.”

After the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995, hate groups, militias, and the like went underground for awhile. Realizing that many believed and held them responsible for such an act made them a little more than leery of recruitment and public displays of anti-government and racist ideology. But, that hiatus didn’t last for long.

Immediately following the attacks of 9-11 the hate groups went into high gear. Because the enemy was one of color, they intended to capitalize on that hatred that Americans were feeling. They saw this as an opportunity to recruit and to further, not only their racist agenda, but their anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel, as well.

People like David Duke, William Luther Pierce, Billy Roper, et. al. stepped to the forefront and pointed a racist and bigoted finger at the people they held responsible while applauding, yes applauding, the prowess, dedication, and bravery of the terrorists.

Interestingly, and unfortunately, they experienced a little success in reaching out and touching the American people. Albeit a brief moment in the sun, these groups exploited American emotion. At the same time, some of the entities were undergoing a metamorphosis. Understanding that their previous approach to mainstream America was not palatable to most, they decided to “clean up their act” and become more “mainstream.”

Using euphemistic verbiage, the language among these racists changed. A person was no longer a “racist” but a “racialist” or “racially aware.” White supremacists were now “White Nationalists.” They were no longer about “hate,” but about “love” – love of the white race. They no longer fought against “equal rights” but for “white rights.” And, so it went.

This attempt at appearing more “civilized” worked to an extent and is affording them a little kinder treatment by mainstream media. While changing the language, they also recognized the need to be more involved in social issues.

As an attack on Iraq started to appear imminent, the anti-war movement started to build. Seeing an opportunity to endear themselves to hundreds of thousands, many racists signed on. Carrying “No War For Israel” banners and signs, they took to the streets to protest right along side the other groups. Few were fooled, however, and the anti-war folks usually sent them packing.

Frustrated by not getting as much mileage out of their chameleonic attempts, the groups began to factionalize. Many were tired of this sanitized version of hate and they joined with other, more militant and overtly racist, organizations.

Perhaps the most receptive and nourishing cause for the racist movement to hook its’ sails to in modern times has been the anti-immigration movement. Adroit leaders within the racist realm have, historically, recognized a climate of unrest and tension as an optimal period for recruiting and furthering their agenda. The anti-immigration groups have created a fertile and enticing atmosphere in which racism, bigotry, and prejudice can flourish.

Steeped in intolerance, fanaticism and, sometimes, ignorance the movement itself has been joined and enjoined at the hip with the racist and his ideology thus providing a vehicle into mainstream American culture.

Much as the Ku Klux Klan was able to ingrain itself into the hearts and minds of America during its’ heyday, the anti-immigration movement has made inroads into every aspect of our society. Hence, so has racism and bigotry.

In a free society, such as ours, we tend to “go with the flow.” We are easily influenced by the media and the spin-doctors of the world. We latch on to what is “popular” at the moment - so do public personalities, politicians, advertisers, and the media. The war is no longer popular. George Bush is no longer popular. Discriminating against immigrants is popular.

We have lost the war on drugs. We know that the war on terror is a farce. Our economy is in rapid decline. Health care is critical. Our justice system is broken. Voting people in or out of office doesn’t seem to change anything. The middle class is disappearing. More and more people are feeling disenfranchised – and there is nowhere to vent our frustration. In times like these, hate thrives.

Anti-immigration rhetoric has given way to anti-minority rants and more and more people are joining the fray. Why? Because we have to have someone to blame. All of this cannot be our fault. That’s human nature. It may not be right. It may not be accurate. It may even be reprehensible – but true, nonetheless.

When humans feel control over their lives and their destinies they often strike out at others in an attempt to demonstrate that they are still the pilots of their fate and that they still have something in the way of power.

It is understood that those most susceptible to being oppressed, subjugated, or dominated are those who lack financial and social resources, hence they become the target of those seeking to control something – anything.

Knowing all of this doesn’t solve anything, but it does beg the question “Who is it that feels the loss of control the most?” The answer is, just as it has been for decades, “white America.”

Fear is a powerful motivator – and fear of losing that “specialness,” that “White Privilege” has been fueling and motivating the racist arena for decades as well. It matters not how irrational this fear may be because, once it reaches its’ peak, it is all consuming leaving no room for any sort of rational thought.

Consequently, we, in America, are now witnessing the rise of a tide of fear cloaked in racism and hatred. Only, this time, the target for their catharsis is mightier than in the past and is armed with the knowledge that comes with life’s experiences.

Nooses can be hung, children can be exploited, graffiti can be painted, men can be dragged, and talking heads can rant, but I predict that those acts of intimidation and fear-striking preludes to oppression will have a less than desirable affect on the mark. White America will have to find another whipping boy for its’ purification.

It has become evident that while we have been so busy portraying ourselves as the “superior” nation, as the haven of diverse and multicultural lifestyles, as the American Dream we forgot how to just be who we really are – humans striving to be human.

History really does often repeat itself. Sometimes, however, it does so with a twist.

Roanoke Neo Nazi Helps NAACP GROW !

Just a short blurb, I just spoke with some people from the local Roanoke chapter of the NAACP and they report that do to all the activities of Roanoke's resident Neo Nazi Bill White that they (NAACP) are being flooded with requests from people expressing a desire to join the NAACP in Roanoke.

Neo Nazi Bill White feels that he can drive a wedge between people and just the opposite is happening, people are coming togther. Many of the people contacting the Roanoke NAACP are also seeking information on how to register to vote.

Far from splitting the community Bill White the racist is actually helping people of all races come togther - Thanks Bill

A History of Rope


Leonard Pitts is a Pulitzer Prize winner who sees the world in a new perspective. I have long been a fan of Pitts and admire his steadfast stance even in the face of great adversity.

Given the number of “noose incidents” that have arisen since the Jena, LA situation, it was only a matter of time before Pitts would take is to the river once again. This is his latest offering.

You call it a ‘prank,’ but I call it terrorBy LEONARD PITTS JR.

This will be a history of rope.

It strikes me that such a history is desperately needed just now. It seems the travesty in Jena, La., has spawned a ghastly trend. Remember how white students at Jena High placed nooses in a tree last year to communicate antipathy toward their African-American classmates? Now it’s happening all over.

A noose is left for a black workman at a construction site in the Chicago area. In Queens, a woman brandishes a noose to threaten her black neighbors. A noose is left on the door of a black professor at Columbia University. And that’s just last week. Go back a little further and you have similar incidents at the University of Maryland in College Park, at a police department on Long Island, on a Coast Guard cutter, in a bus maintenance garage in Pittsburgh.

Mark Potok, the director of the Intelligence Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, told USA Today, “For a dozen incidents to come to the public’s attention is a lot. I don’t generally see noose incidents in a typical month. We might hear about a handful in a year.”

The superintendent of schools in Jena famously dismissed the original incident as a ”prank.” It was an astonishing response, speaking volumes about the blithe historical ignorance of people who have found it convenient not to peer too closely at the atrocities of the past lest they be accidentally . . . moved.

But watching this trend unfold, it occurs to me that maybe what we need here is the opposite of ignorance. Maybe what we need is information. Maybe what we need is a history of rope.

A history of rope would have to include, in 1904, Luther Holbert and his wife, who had their fingers chopped off and handed out as souvenirs. Holbert was beaten so badly one of his eyes came out. It hung by a thread. A large corkscrew was used to bore into the couple’s flesh. It tore out big chunks of them each time it was withdrawn. A rope was used to tie them to the tree.

A history of rope would have to include, in 1917, Rufus Moncrief, who was beaten senseless by a mob. They used a saw to cut off his arms and otherwise mutilated him. The mob hanged Moncrief. Then, for good measure, they hanged his dog. Ropes were used for both.

A history of rope would have to include, in 1918, Mary Turner, burned alive in Valdosta, Ga. A man used a hog-splitting knife to slash her swollen stomach. The baby she had carried nearly to term tumbled out and managed two cries before the man crushed its head beneath his heel. A rope was used to tie Turner upside down in a tree.

A history of rope would include thousands of Turners, Moncriefs and Holberts. It would range widely across the geography of this nation and the years of the last two centuries. A history of rope would travel from Cairo, Ill., in 1909 to Fort Lauderdale in 1935 to Urbana, Ohio, in 1897 to Wrightsville, Ga., in 1903, to Leitchfield, Ky., in 1913 to Newbern, Tenn. in 1902. And beyond.

You might say the country has changed since then, and it has. The problem is, it’s changing again.

It feels as if in recent years we the people have backward traveled from even the pretense of believing our loftiest ideals. It has become fashionable to decry excessive ”political correctness,” deride ”diversity,” sneer at the ”protected classes.” Code words sanding down hatred’s rough edge. ”State’s rights” for the new millennium. And now, out come the nooses. Just a prank, the man says.

Mary Turner would argue otherwise. I find it useful to remember her, useful to be reminded of things we would rather forget. To remember her is to understand that there is no prank here.

A history of rope would drown your conscience in blood.

UNTIL THEY KILL

Asa Coon, was 14 years old and a very troubled 14 at that. Having been in trouble with the law before he ever entered his teens, it was obvious to a host of others that this was an angry and disturbed child. Neighbors would tell you that he always “seemed short-tempered and ready to go off at any minute.”

That moment came on October 10th, 2007, when Coon showed up at Success Tech High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Success Tech is an alternative school where Asa was attending until he got suspended for fighting. He was already on probation for hitting his mother, so he knew that this suspension would not bode well for him.

Coon entered the school with two guns, a box of ammunition and three knives. How he managed to enter the building remains a mystery as there are metal detectors in place. Some have said that the detectors were only used “intermittently.”

Dressed in black from head to toe, firing shots, and swearing as he walked through the corridors, Asa wounded four people before he turned the gun on himself. Another young life wasted.

He had told a couple of friends that he was going to blow up the school, but no one took him seriously. One student told CNN “"When he got suspended he said, 'I got something for y'all.' I thought he was just playing, because he, like, said that all the time. But I see that he was for real."

Last year, it was ordered by the court that Asa be psychologically evaluated but Asa was uncooperative. However, it has also been noted that he had been in a psychiatric facility at one point and had tried to commit suicide.

Success Tech is a small magnet school in Cleveland which serves both gifted and troubled youth. Reportedly, Asa had difficulty with relationships and often clashed with the teachers in the building. He was known as a “Goth kid” and a trouble-maker. According to one student, Rasheem Smith, on CBS’ “Early Show,” students had presented their concerns about Coon to the Principal who told them she was too busy.

Fortunately, the gunman was the only person killed – the four others are reportedly going to be okay. However, this is another tragedy that could have been avoided. Reading about Asa you get a feeling of Déjà vu. We have been here before. He fits the profile and the question is again raised, “could this have been avoided?”

Generally speaking, alternative schools which provide education for troubled youth are extremely secure. In instances where a student is sent to an alternative academy for violence in the home school, that student has certain “check-points” where he is searched and assessed before ever reaching a classroom. Apparently, that didn’t happen at Success Tech.

The very fact that this student was able, not only to enter the building but, to enter carrying an arsenal, should raise more than a few questions for police and school officials.

Looking at the whole picture of the travesty, it becomes apparent that the school system, the mental health system, and the courts all failed miserably when it came to Asa Coon. The end result is one that is becoming much too common place.

There are three places that a child should never have to fear being – home, school, and church. Yet, all of those places can be sites of fear.

A child is dead. Two students have been wounded and will never forget October 10th, 2007. Two teachers will recover physically, but what about emotionally? And 200+ kids have been trumatized. Could it have been prevented? Of course it could have.
Ignoring the warning signs that Asa Coon emitted was a costly mistake. His was not some childish rant that could be sluffed off as inconsequential, obviously. When a troubled child threatens such actions we must listen and we must be prepared to act ourselves – for both the child, himself, and those who might be affected by his threats.

Asa let his family know…his classmates know…and the court know that he needed help and they failed to provide for his needs. Have we learned nothing from similar shootings? Are we so encapsulated in our coccoons so as to believe ourselves safe and secure in a very dangerous world? Or are we just so overwhelmed by the hate and the violence that we have given up?

How many more Asa Coon’s are out there? Would you recognize one if you saw him? Asa’s are in every school. Asa’s are in your neighborhoods. Some Asa’s get the help they need while others just slip through the cracks until they kill.

TV News:Roanoke Racist Bill White gets black eye

Eye On Hate Radio Note : Neo Nazi Bill White can’t seem to keep himself out of the spotlight or out of trouble - today (wednesday Oct. 10) according to TV news reports Bill White suffered a black eye after he allegedly assualted a Roanoke woman.

How long before Bill White causes some serious damage to a citizen of Roanoke ? - Floyd, Eye On Hate Radio

Bill White Gets in a Fight
Lindsey Henley / WSLS NewsChannel 10
Oct 10, 2007

Roanoke is used to the black eye many would say Bill White gives the Star City.But Wednesday, White was the one with the black eye.

“This guy right here is a crack head, he works for a pimping operation over at that house. We’ve been calling him in pretty regularly for pimping girls on this street. He decided he was going to stop my car,” White said.

That’s when White says he got out of his car and called 9-1-1.

“I took him down on the ground. Once I took him down on the ground, this [woman] came out and started hitting me from behind,” he said.

But there are two sides to every story.

“She was walking down the street and he got to calling her all kinds of ‘n’ words. She was like you don’t even know me like that. He jumped out of the car and started hit on her. I just came and helped her,” Aries Brown said.

Police say White and two others were involved.

They say even with all the commotion, they aren’t planning on filing any charges.

Instead, they’ll leave it up to White and the other two individuals.

“He started it,” Brown said.

For now, we don’t know who is telling the truth, but we do know White is no stranger to the media, and he’s used to being the center of controversy.

Watch Out For Those Shoes!!!

Hat Tip: By Sherrel Wheeler Stewart, Black America Web

Tennis shoes were used as dangerous weapons on Dec. 4, 2006 when six black students at Louisiana’s Jena High School fought white schoolmate Justin Barker, LaSalle Parish District Attorney J. Reed Walters told a courtroom this summer.

So hundreds of miles away in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, youth members of the NAACP have launched a drive to encourage people to turn in their dangerous weapons — sneakers, or tennis shoes as they are called in the South.

“We want used sneakers. We want the rank, stank, dirty sneakers. We want to send a message,” said the Rev. Elisha B. Morris, youth advisor for the Philadelphia Youth Council NAACP. “We’re going to box the sneakers up and ship them to the district attorney in Jena, Louisiana.” The group also wants each person who donates sneakers to contribute $2 for the Jena Defense Fund.

The effort is in response to charges brought against six black youths following the 2006 fight. Initially, Mychal Bell, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis and Theo Shaw faced charges attempted murder and conspiracy in connection with the fight. A juvenile was also charged.

Bell was tried as an adult and convicted before an appeals court overturned that action and said Bell’s case should be handled in juvenile court. He is now going through proceedings in juvenile court, which are not public.

The fight followed weeks of racial tension in the town of 3,000 touched off in August 2006, after white students hung nooses from a tree. The white students were suspended from school several days, school officials have said.

The call for equal justice for the Jena Six picked up volume throughout the summer, and on Sept. 20, more than 25,000 people from across the country converged on Jena to show support.

The “Dangerous Weapons Drive” was launched on that day during a rally at Temple University in Philadelphia. Morris said a photographer at the event took his sneakers off and turned them in on the spot along with $2.

“No student, regardless of race, should have to tolerate what the Jena Six has faced,” said Darius Alexander, president of the Temple University Progressive NAACP Chapter.

“The charges were absurd. We want to send a message that this will not be tolerated,” Alexander told BlackAmericaWeb.com.

About 80 pairs of sneakers have been collected at Temple so far, but organizers expect more to come.

A local radio station is helping the effort by supporting a drop off point for sneakers at an Oct. 19 concert at the Wachovia Center featuring Kanye West, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Eve, Akon, Swizz Beatz, Soulja Boy and Cassidy. Also, contests throughout the Philadelphia area have different organizations competing to collect the largest number of sneakers.

Morris said he wants to encourage activism among youths while sending a message to the justice system in LaSalle Parish and the state of Louisiana. He said he envisions a scene reminiscent of the courtroom scene in “Miracle on 34st Street.”

“The judge asked, ‘Where is the proof that this man is Santa Claus?’ First, they presented the judge a few letters that had been sent to him through the post office. Then, they brought in several loads. That’s what I want to see,” Morris told BlackAmericaWeb.com.

When Syracuse University professor and activist Boyce Watkins heard about the sneakers campaign, he laughed, he said.

“I think the shoes prove a point. It is so reflective of the energy and creativity young people bring to the movement,” Watkins told BlackAmericaWeb.com.

“The civil rights movement was driven by youths. They are idealists, and they believe. They are not constrained by social norms,” he said. “Some people call it the hip-hop generation. I call it the hip-hope generation. We have to support them and harness and nurture their energy.”

Mike Weaver, an Atlanta-based researcher who visited Jena long before the thousands arrived on Sept. 20, said while the sneakers drive will send a message, he is doubtful of the impact.

“They are going to ship (the shoes) to District Attorney Reed Walters, and he’s going to do the same thing he has done before,” Weaver said.

Morris said the goal of the sneakers drive and the contributions is to keep the momentum of Jena going, especially among the youth. “This is not over,” he said.

According to Watkins, attention needs to be focused on the entire system of justice in LaSalle Parish and in Louisiana.

“This is much bigger than Jena,” he said. “What about the thousands who are in prison because of an unequal system of justice?”

None of the six Jena youths currently are in jail. Bell was released on Sept. 28, a week after the rally that attracted world wide attention.

Alexander, a senior majoring in kinesiology at Temple, said word of the drive is spreading to other Philadelphia-area college campuses, including the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. High school students are also getting involved.

“For me, personally, I just think about the same thing could happen to you,” he said. “That should give enough reason to fight.”

Comments About Anti-Gay Slur Ignore Real Effect on Students

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network is calling on Ann Coulter to apologize for her use of an anti-gay slur and for her subsequent defense, which is potentially dangerous to millions of students across the country in denying the real impact of the word "faggot" on those who experience pervasive bullying and harassment based on actual or perceived sexual orientation in school.

After calling Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards a “faggot” last week while poking fun at actor Isaiah Washington, who went into treatment after his own use of the slur, Coulter vehemently downplayed the negative impact of the anti-gay slur Monday on Fox News.

"Faggot isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes." "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss.’"

"It is ludicrous to try to divorce the power of this word from its roots as a derogatory term referring to gay men,” said GLSEN Founder and Executive Director Kevin Jennings. “This anti-gay slur is offensive to every sensible person, from the most conservative to the most liberal among us. The only people who defend the use of such slurs are the very people who use them – bullies."

More than three out of four (75.4 percent) lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students reported hearing anti-gay slurs such as "faggot" or "dyke" frequently or often in school in GLSEN’s 2005 National School Climate Survey. Nearly two-thirds of students (64.3 percent) reported feeling unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation.

"There is so much wrong with Ann Coulter’s comments it is hard to know where to begin, but her ignorance regarding the impact of this 'schoolyard taunt' points to a disturbing reality of school life," Jennings said. "The use of anti-gay slurs in schools is pervasive and affects school climate, students' sense of safety in school and, ultimately, academic achievement and educational aspirations.

"There is no place for the anti-gay slur in our popular culture, and there certainly is no place for it in a schoolyard."

The New Port Richie Affair

johnditullio2.jpgIn one of the most horrendous cases I have ever reported on, this man, John Ditullio, was arrested for the murder of 17-year-old Kristofer Guy King and a brutal assault on Patricia Wells in New Port Richey, Florida.

READ THE ACCOUNTS HERE

Although a trial date has not been set, the District Attorney announced today that he would seek the death penalty against Ditullio. As someone opposed to the death penalty I would urge the court to seriously consider keeping this animal in a cage for the rest of his natural life.

Patricia Wells lived in a trailer park in New Port Richey. Unfortunately, her neighbors were a crew of Skinheads who hated African-Americans and homosexuals. Those inhabiting Wells' trailer epitomize the things these Skinheads hated the most. Patricia had an African-American boyfriend and her son was gay.

In March of last year, there was a "party" going on at the Skinhead place, affectionately dubbed by them as "The Clubhouse." Their swastika and confederate flag banners were flying high over their denison. In the early hours of the morning, Ditullio put on a gas mask and burst into Patricia's trailer where he allegedly assaulted her and then turned on who he believed to be her son, stabbing him to death. The young man was, in fact, a friend of her son's who was simply sleeping over. kristoferguyking.jpg

The scene was right out of "True Crime Magazine." Yellow Crime Scene taped was put up, and the news cameras were rolling. Few of us will ever forget the footage of a dazed, confused, and badly injured Patricia Wells as she stood before the TV cameras and recounted the terror that had shaken her world.

patriciawells.jpgStories and alibis were checked in the search for the perpetrator while an entire community watched in disbelief. The police knew "The Club House" well, and the residents of the trailer park had had their share of run-ins with the Skinheads who several claimed "terrorized" the community.

Still, it took months for the authorities to work the case and the suspects to conclude that it was John Ditullio who would be charged in this heinous event.

This wasn't the first encounter that the 44-year-old Wells had with the next-door-neighbors. As a matter of fact, Patricia who works as a housekeeper, had filed several complaints of vandalism and threats against the people residing and visiting there.

No one ever likes reporting on this kind of senseless violence, yet it seems that those covering organized hate groups and racist individuals are bound to have to do more than their share in that area. At the time of this investigation, I had no problem telling every single racist out there that if one of the Skinheads were found to be guilty, they should all share in that guilt. I feel the same way today as I did then. And, once again, I'll make the same observation and statement that I did then...

"As long as the American public remains virtually oblivious to the disease that these rodents are spreading, that disease will continue to flourish and spread. The bright side of all of this is that those who are enlightened to what is happening out there are rapidly becoming avid anti-racists. Given the fact that these bilious hate mongers whine and cry about young ARA members and “antis” being so violent toward them, I have but what thing to say – show me how many of you have been killed, or maimed, by an anti. Show me how many communities have been terrorized by anti-racists.

Young Kristofer Guy King has been taken from us because he dared to befriend those who were considered “race traitors.” Patricia Wells has been brutally scarred because of a life-choice to date outside of her race. The Griffin Park Trailer Park community has been traumatized. The students at the local high school have been brought face to face with the ugliest form that hate takes. When do we say “enough is enough?” When do we step up to the plate and say, “Not in our town, not in our community, not in our country, not in our world.” I think the time is now.

MINOR OFFENSES


By Nicole Nichols

What a shame that children are exploited and abused for the pleasures of sick minds. What a travesty that little boys and girls are preyed upon by pedophiles and child pornographers. And what a sad state of affairs it is when the adults entrusted with caring for them and protecting them place them in harms way.

On October 2, 2007, Kevin Alfred Strom, mentored by Dr. William Luther Pierce, and founder of National Vanguard, began the first phase of a trial that is being watched closely by racists and anti-racists alike. After being granted a Motion to Sever, the charges being tried were those of witness intimidation and enticement of a minor into a sexual relationship.

The trial had a problem, however, and it is probable that both sides knew it was not winnable. Yet, it moved ahead only to have the charges dismissed by the judge at the end of the Prosecutions case. They were dismissed for lack of evidence. The second trial will be in January, 2008, when Strom faces five counts of child pornography.

While the initial trial was a bust, not all was lost. During the day and a half affair, the depravity of Kevin Alfred Strom was unveiled for the world to see.

Something else that was unveiled was the fact that not only was Strom stalking a nine-year-old friend of his step-daughter, but he was pleasuring himself to photo shopped pictures of the neo-Nazi singing twins that comprise Prussian Blue. In fact, Strom had pasted their heads on the bodies of younger girls to meet his sexual desires.

In the debates and controversies engaged in by those on the racist right, it was more than appalling to see that there are those who saw nothing wrong with what Kevin did, or those who continued to support him because of the work he had done on behalf of the "movement."

Kevin's estranged wife, Elisha, testified against him at the trial and found herself castigated for being a traitor by some while applauded by others. The revelation that the singing twins had been one of the objects of Strom's affection generated a lot of discussion and a blasting from April Gaede, the twins' mother.

Gaede, a long time cohort of Strom's, had defended Strom from the time of the arrest. She insinuated over and over again that it was Elisha Strom who had "planted" the child porn on Kevin's computer.

Now that the truth had surfaced and the evidence included confessions by Strom, as well as his sexual fetishes which included her girls, April was righteously indignant that the situation was being discussed in a public forum. Also, she held Elisha Strom accountable for remaining silent for so long, and claimed that Kevin and Elisha should have a stake driven through their hearts.

Such a reaction might have been understandable, given the circumstances, had it come from anyone other than April Gaede. Let's look at both of these women.

While Kevin Alfred Strom's sexual leanings had long been questioned by the racist community, so had Elisha's. Considering her to be a "feminist" she was persona non gratis at many of their functions. It should be remembered that in the misogynistic world of white supremacy women should "know their place" and not become involved in the "man's affairs" unless in a helping capacity.
As sure as Kevin's website was "weird" and "creepy" to some - so was Elisha's. She had been the focus of an almost brutal lambasting from those who remained in the National Alliance after Strom's ousting.

In addition, Elisha had continued to live with Kevin Alfred Strom, along with her young daughter, even after she was certain that his proclivities toward children existed. Hence, in my opinion, sharing some of the blame in this abomination against the innocent.

However, April Gaede is just as much responsible. In a dialogue between the two women on the VNN message board, Elisha Strom absolutely pummeled April.

Objecting to a comment made by April asserting that her girls hardly knew Kevin, Elisha claimed that they had attended many of the same events, and that she had, in fact, protected the girls from Kevin on a couple of occasions. At one event, in particular, in New Orleans, she claimed she had started an argument with Kevin to divert his attention as he wanted to go to the pool to watch the twins in their bikinis.

April proffered that the reason her children's names were mentioned was because of Elisha Strom's testimony. Never mind that Elisha was under subpoena and had to answer the questions, and never mind that Kevin Alfred Strom had used her girls for his own sexual fantasies.

Elisha told April…

"Your daughters' names are out there because of YOU. Your daughters' names are out there in a criminal case because of KEVIN STROM.

You've put up pictures of your daughters in string bikinis, and outfits others have said were provocative, and, honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with you doing so. But when you do that knowing your children are public figures, how dare you bitch if someone misuses those pictures?"

Taking issue with Elisha's silence, April was questioning why she had never come forward and warned her about Kevin and his actions to which Elisha replied:

"I have that one, too. And I have the conversation I had with (I believe it was) your husband -- immediately prior to my leaving that message -- in which I told him that Kevin had named your daughters in a public document and I wanted to not only let you know about it but how I would be responding to it. I also have the entire conversation we had about the photograph Kevin had made putting your daughters heads onto the bodies of not adult females but on children significantly younger than them -- to paraphrase Kevin, "shockingly young girls."

"You have the nerve to say I didn't warn anyone when this first happened but I also have the message your attorney, Edgar Steele, left for me after my two phone calls trying to warn you Kevin had publicized your daughter's names in a court document. You attack me for not trying to warn you then you attack me when I do try to warn you.

"I have the PM exchanges where we discussed the upskirt pictures of your daughters that Kevin had taken himself, and I asked you why you let him stand there at an event (one I was excluded from) and take so many pictures. He has literally hundreds of pictures of your daughters, most of which you allowed him to take and some of which you sent him. The one he photoshopped came directly from you.

"So… you want to use a message I left for you against me? Be my guest. Force me to defend myself though, and you better believe I will."

Throughout the entire soap-opera, however, I do believe that Elisha Strom delivered the crowning blow to April Gaede with this comment:

"And for the record: When asked, I had always stated that I did not for even a second believe you would purposely contribute to Kevin's sick obsession with your children. The only time I questioned my judgment of that was when I saw your complete lack of response to David Lane in that interview when he told you your children were his fantasy girls. Quite frankly, even a retarded first grader would have known exactly what he meant by that. This would be the same interview in which you called your teenage daughter a "cunt" on national television."

A lot of people did some judgment questioning after viewing the James Quinn video and seeing April interacting with her children in a manner quite telling about what it is like in the Gaede household.

April Gaede is no role model even for the white supremacists. She is a delusional and controlling individual who has attempted to live her life through her twin girls and is promising to do much the same with a younger child.

When you consider what the, now fifteen-year-old, twins have had to endure, you can't help but wonder just how much damage has been done. Having been home-schooled for a good portion of their lives while being indoctrinated into the white supremacist mindset has to have taken its' toll. As is evidenced in the Quinn documentary, they are starting to rebel.


April has promoted and exploited these girls for own gain, both personal and self-gratifying, since they were three. She has been criticized for the clothing they have been pictured in and the sultry poses, which some even on the racist right have considered way too provocative for little girls.

As most of us attempt to protect our children from certain influences and people, April has forced her children into a world of skinheads, racists, and pure hatred. They have been required to perform before audiences of drunken and seedy individuals by what can only be considered a mother intent on riding the gravy train.

In the Quinn documentary, who can forget April taking the girls into a local bar to perform? The girls sang folk tunes devoid of racist lyrics - but that wasn't enough for April. She began passing out the girls' CD's with all of the white nationalist music that they had done. The upshot of this affair was that all three of them were kicked out of the bar to the girls' utter embarrassment. They were 14 - and they were, obviously, sick of their mother and her ideology.

The relationship between David Lane and the girls, as Elisha referenced, was promoted and perpetuated by April Gaede. Most sane people would question holding Lane up as a hero to their children, much less naming him as "Godfather." Yet, April had no reaction to Lane's openly admitting his lust for her children.

April has placed her children in harms way for a good portion of their lives and now wants to be outraged that a perverted and twisted individual exploits them.

On the flip side, Elisha Strom is no candidate for canonization. A virulent racist and anti-Semitic person, she must shoulder some of the blame for allowing this to go on as long as it did. But, then again, we all know about the battered and abused wife who can't let go. We have all heard about woman who falsely believe that "he will change."

Which raises yet another question for me. Who else knew? Who else in the movement knew Kevin and knew his penchant for babies? Why is it that I get the feeling that there is much more going on here than we know about? I will never forget Don Black's reaction to the news when he said, "We were afraid of this."


Kevin Alfred Strom went to New Orleans a couple of years ago to speak at a confab of white supremacists that was organized by David Duke. Shortly after that, he attempted a coup on the National Alliance - something that I believe was devised by Duke, Jamie Kelso, and Kevin Strom at that meeting.

For quite some time, Vincent Breeding was David Duke's right hand man. He and Duke were very close until it was revealed that he was in the porn business on the side. Of course, after that revelation, Duke had to distance himself. Yet, rumor has it that Breeding is still in the picture - simply low-key.

There have been questions and jokes arise from the claim that Jamie Kelso shares Duke's home and that the two of them bought a car together in both of their names.

Duke, whose popularity has been waning here in the U.S. among racists, since the New Orleans Protocol affair has spent an inordinate amount of time out of the country since his release from prison. He had a lot to gain if the coup on the National Alliance had been successful.

Of course, all of this is speculation - but the thought that the tip of the iceberg is all that has been scraped is a nagging one. Undoubtedly, the trial in January will provide us with even more information in this repugnant episode in yet another travesty from the racist right. I think it would behoove the authorities to look further - to look deeper - because my intuition tells me that Strom isn't the only one in this cesspool.

ANNOUNCEMENT

From: The National Transgender Advocacy Coalition (NTAC)
Contacts: Vanessa Edwards Foster; Houston, Texas
Chair, Ethan St. Pierre, Haverhill, MA

NTAC, Transgenders and Allies To Picket Over ENDA Betrayal

The National Transgender Advocacy Coalition is issuing a call to join our
members, members of other organizations and numerous individuals in
protesting the lavish October 6th annual HRC National Dinner in
Washington, DC. Representative Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, will
be featured as keynote speaker at the event.

Last week, after a hastily called "whip count" (where the majority party
whip polls members of committees or Congress to gauge whether
legislation has sufficient votes), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) stripped
Gender Identity from the original bill. This action was allegedly based on
the results of as yet unsubstantiated claims of not having enough support
for trans-inclusion.

Recently, Shannon Minter of the National Center for Lesbian Rights
(NCLR) authored and circulated a letter signed by more than 150 different
state and national organizations and submitted to House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi petitioning for a return to one inclusive bill for the Employment Non
Discrimination Act (ENDA), HR 2015 in its inclusive form.

From this effort has come a new ad-hoc campaign: United ENDA, the new
collective of over 150 organizations (www.unitedenda.org) that have
agreed to the principles of explicitly inclusive legislation submitted to
Congress.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which claims to be the largest U.S.
LGBT civil rights organization, has not signed onto an endorsement of
the statement signed by the members of United ENDA, opposing the split
of the proposed bill into separate legislation – one for sexual orientation
and one for gender identity.

"We are very disappointed and angry that any civil rights organization
claiming to advocate for our rights can turn their backs on us when the
going gets tough," said Ethan St.Pierre, Board Chair of NTAC. "It
amounts to a betrayal, since HRC earlier promised to support only an
inclusive ENDA."

At the Southern Comfort Conference (SCC) in mid-September, HRC Exec.
Director, Joe Solmonese made a promise as keynote speaker that HRC
would not only support an inclusive ENDA bill, but would also oppose
any attempt at submitting a non-inclusive bill. While at SCC, HRC culled
many new memberships and donations from the transgender community.
"After removing gender identity from a bill that would have protected
millions of transgender Americans from discrimination in employment, the
message being sent to the entire Congress and to corporate America is
that it is acceptable to discriminate against transgender, intersexed, and
other gender variant Americans," NTAC Chair, St. Pierre added.

As a result of HRC's rescission of their promise three weeks earlier, the
only transgender ever seated on their Board of Directors, Donna Rose,
resigned October 2, 2007 in disappointment. Additional resignations from
the transgender community are continuing to come in, including Robbi
Cohn resigning from HRC's steering committee for the Carolinas.

In Rose's resignation, she stated, "The relationship between HRC and the
transgender community is one scarred by betrayal, distrust, and anger. I
have become a focal point for much of that frustration," she noted, adding
she "accepted that responsibility with the hope that I could help to
change [HRC]."

"I call on other like-minded board members, steering committee leaders,
donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers to think long and hard about
whether this organization still stands for your values and to take decisive
action."

All those who stand in solidarity with the transgender community,
including HRC Board members wishing to make a statement, are
welcome to join us on Saturday, October 6th at 4:30 p.m. before the Major
Donors Reception. The picketing will continue throughout the General
Reception and Banquet.

"We want to ensure people note that this is a non-violent protest, and that we should avoid working to our detriment by being profane or verbally

attacking," said NTAC Media Director, Vanessa Edwards Foster. "Icy
glares and stone cold silence work well.

"Bring out your unequal signs and let HRC and Barney Frank know that
we're quite aware of what they think of us."

The event will take place at the Washington Convention Center, 801
Mount Vernon Place, NW (near 9th St & Mass Ave) Washington DC. For
those coming in from outside of the city, this is on the Green Line at the
Mount Vernon Square / UCC stop.

Did Racist Bill White Kill Someone ? Bill White says he did !

Neo Nazi leader Bill White from Roanoke,VA. just posted this blurb on the VNNforum website,today Oct.4 - in it he (White) claims to have killed people and if I read this article right it appears he(Bill White)tried starting a fight on Chapman street today in Roanoke or maybe like racist broadcaster Hal Turner, White just makes shit up. -Floyd

Bill White's posting on the VNNforum
"So I was driving down Chapman and I saw a blonde girl going to the store and two niggers -- one a known pimp, the other from outside the neighborhood, watching her. I drove down the street, talked to some of my workers, drove back, and I noticed the girl walking down the street with these two guys looking like they were following her. I parked a few houses away, talked to one of my workers, and began walking down the street to open some houses up for someone to clean.

Outside 1510 Chapman this guy from outside the neighborhood comes up behind the white girl and grabs her by her hair. The nigger pimp is watching. The big nigger -- about 6'4" and maybe 275 lbs -- starts cursing at her -- something about money and snitching. So I walk over.

"Are you all right?" I ask the girl.

"Motherfucker what the fuck you think you're looking at?" the big nigger says to me.

"I think I'm looking at something that needs the police," I say.

I start calling them. "No, don't call the cops" the white girl screams.

"Motherfucker carry your ass out of here," the big nigger tells me, walking towards me, making ape motions with his hands.

"Don't make me get my twelve gauge," I say.

"You got it on you motherfucker, you got it on you?" the nigger continues, still making ape motions.

"You wanna fight me?" I say, and laugh.

"Yeah motherfucker," and then he tried to poke me in my chest. I had his arm before his finger got three inches from me.

Then I look into his eyes. "I've killed niggers before motherfucker and I will kill again."
I let go of his arm. He stepped back. Then he turned around and started walking away.

9-11 answered in my other hand. I told them I was in a fight right then with a black pimp who was beating a white prostitute, phoning in description. He took of running, looking scared as a little girl. "Motherfucker Imma get my gat and kill yo ass" he shouted as he ran dow 16 St, towards an overgrown industrial park, long ago turned over to the woods.

Cops couldn' find him. He was almost certainly hiding in the bushes.

I'm still calming down. end of article

Strom & Prussian Blue? I Just Knew It!

Judge Throws Out Some Charges Against Strom

Wednesday a federal judge threw out some of the charges against white supremacist leader Kevin Strom.


Strom was accused of trying to entice a 10-year-old girl by sending her gifts and flowers. He was also accused of stalking the girl and her family.

But after the prosecution rested on Wednesday the judge decided to dismiss both charges. One charge of enticing a minor and an obstruction charge after Strom was accused of trying to intimidate his estranged wife.

Attorneys were not available for comment. Strom still faces charges for child pornography. The trial for those charges are scheduled for this January.

TO ORIGINAL STORY



Strom enticement, intimidation trial begins
by Lisa Provence
The founder of the white supremacist National Vanguard, Kevin Strom, 50, went on trial today for enticing a minor and intimidating a witness– the witness being his wife, Elisha Strom.

In a quavery voice, Elisha Strom, 32, testified about finding her husband naked and aroused, looking at photos of two girls whose heads had been transposed onto naked bodies. “They didn’t look right,” said Elisha of the girls, who were affiliated with the National Vanguard. “Their bodies didn’t match what they look like.”

Earlier, in motions regarding the introduction of the photos of the two girl singers, Judge Norman Moon declared that it was not illegal to look at the photos and said, “It’s not against the law to sit there naked.”

Elisha Strom also told of awaking October 17, 2005, to find her husband looking at images of a little girl. “I didn’t know what to do,” she testified. “I wanted to talk to someone.”

She had the phone in hand when her husband said he wasn’t going to let her make a call and then began choking her. “I hit him with the telephone,” she testified. His parents took a bloody Kevin Strom to the hospital.

About a year later, after reporting to the police her husband’s interest in photos of girls, Elisha Strom was arrested for assaulting Kevin, and she was served a flurry of legal complaints, including a protective order to stay away from Strom. These filings, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Gould, exemplify Kevin Strom’s attempts to intimidate a witness.

Also testifying were a 12-year-old girl, who the government says Strom was trying to entice into a sexual relationship, and her mother. Strom allegedly sent the girl anonymous gifts– a sweater and a Tim McGraw CD for Christmas 2005 in a package from “Santa Claus,” pink roses and white lilies on the girl’s 11th birthday, and another Christmas package in 2006 containing a Peter Pan DVD.

By the time the last package arrived, the mother had become so concerned she took it to the police. “I was really, really uncomfortable,” she says.

The Orange County girl and her mother had met Kevin Strom at the United Christian Academy, a Ruckersville private school, where his stepdaughter became friends with the then-nine-year-old. At the end of the 2006 school year, the mother moved the girl to public school in Orange.

The girl’s mother testified to an unease around Strom, but the examples raised few eyebrows in the courtroom. Strom gave her pictures of her daughter and his stepdaughter and invited her to coffee. The mom also reported seeing his maroon van driving by her house, seeing Strom one day, near the end of the school year, parking his van and standing behind a tree, and she testified that her daughter spotted him at the Orange County Fair in July 2006.

The 12-year-old alleged object of Strom’s adoration told the jury that he’d stopped her in the hall of United Christian Academy and asked why her mother wasn’t answering his phone calls. “I told him to stop calling, we weren’t going to pick up,” the middle schooler said.

The prosecution introduced Strom’s computers, which FBI forensic specialists said contained thousands of images. Among the items retrieved was a song to be sung to “Here We Come a Wassailing” with the lyrics, “Once I met a pretty girl, her name was [NAME OF 12-YEAR-OLD]… I will be showered with the kisses of [NAME] and we’ll be married.” In a second version of the song, the girl’s last name had been changed.

“The case isn’t nearly as sinister as the government makes it,” said Andrea Harris, Strom’s attorney, in her opening statement. She portrayed Elisha Strom as “quick to anger” and “violent,” and promised the jurors, “I think you’ll see he’s not guilty, and in fact, no crime was committed.”

Judge Moon adjourned for the day in the middle of Elisha Strom’s tearful testimony.

Upcoming: The contract between Kevin and Elisha Strom in which he promises to get counseling until he is cured of pedophilia.

Strom faces child porn charges in a separate trial in January.
