Police State In Champaign, Illinois
By Rev. Ted Pike
Pike Interview
On Tuesday July 1 in Champaign, Illinois, promising Christian athlete Brett VanAsdlen will observe his 19th birthday. I do not say “celebrate” because that is the day of his preliminary hearing before a judge and militant state attorney. Brett must defend himself against charges of the “hate crime” of pushing over a homosexual, Stephen Velasquez, who was accosting him. (See, “Illinois Pursues Hate Crimes Charges Against Teen”)
What does Brett have to lose if he and his lawyer do not persuade the judge of his innocence? Only three years of his life behind bars.
This 19-year-old is under the jackboot of a perverse system of law and ethics much more distinctive of a police state than a constitutional republic.
Here are some characteristics of police state law and their presence in Champaign.
- In a police state, government begins miscarriage of justice by passing an unjust law. The state of Illinois approved the Anti-Defamation League’s hate law that mandates up to three years in prison for uttering the word “fag” in association with a misdemeanor. Any law that sends a man to prison for three years for a word is a cruel and oppressive, unjust law. (See Video, “Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians”)
- In a police state, there is no freedom of speech — not where it matters, in religion and politics. People are punished for the thoughts (biases) that lead to “politically incorrect” speech and action. ADL teaches that biased thought (especially against Jews, blacks, women, or homosexuals) is “hate.” If bias motivates a crime, small or great, it becomes a hate crime.
- Under our traditional English law the punishment must fit the crime. In a police state, however, there exists a whole category of crimes of “political incorrectness” against the values of the state. A policeman, DA, and court can take the original crime, small as it may be, label it a “political crime,” and magnify it into an offense against the state; it then carries vastly greater penalties. The original misdemeanor becomes the pretext to remove an ideological opponent from society through years of prison or even death.
A “hate crime” charge, such as Brett labors under, is thus not proportional to the original “offense.” The purpose of its vastly increased penalties is “to send a strong message that hate will not be tolerated in our community!” To accomplish this supposed “good” of ending hate, victims are selected by the police state for extraordinary, disproportionate punishment.






“…By the end of the First World War, Pelley’s prestige was such that his publisher commissioned him as a foreign correspondent on assignment in Eastern Europe. With a generous expense account and the diplomatic rank of “consular courier” conferred upon him by the United States government, he shipped out for Russia in early 1918. To him, his assignment was a fun adventure, a well-paid lark and a chance to vacation overseas. It turned out to be something far more. Until his fateful voyage, Pelley was a happy-go-lucky, up-and-coming author, with no real convictions of his own. As he remembered years later, the experience transformed him “from a nondescript writer to a grim crusader.”
