Ted Pike: “Call Champaign County state attorney Julia Rietz, (217-384-3733) and urge her to drop the biased felony ‘hate crimes’ charge against Brett VanAsdlen. CALL NOW!”

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.

Mandela - The Legend and the Legacy

By Sarah Maid of Albion

In the second of two articles examining the life of Nelson Mandela, in advance of Friday’s concert in Hyde Park celebrating the living legend’s 90th birthday, I shall look at his legacy and the new South Africa which he created after coming to power on a surge of worldwide optimism and hope in 1994, when, following the end of Apartheid, he and his followers promised a new dawn for what became termed the Rainbow Nation.

Today South Africa stands out as one of the most dangerous and crime ridden nations on Earth which is not actively at War. In 2001, only seven years after the end of Apartheid, whilst the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands with 5,6 murders per 100,000 population was declared the “murder capitol of Europe”, Johannesburg, with 61.2 murders per 100,00 population and remains the world’s top murder city.

In South Africa as a whole, the murder rate is seven times that of America, in terms of rape the rate is ten times as high and includes the ugly phenomenon of child rape, one of the few activities in which South Africa is now a world leader. If you don’t believe me, you can read what Oprah Winfrey has to say about it here.

All other forms of violent crime are out of control, and Johannesburg is among the top world cities for muggings and violent assault, a fact seldom mentioned in connection with the 2010 World Cup which is scheduled to be hosted in South Africa.

As always with black violence the primary victims are their fellow blacks, however, the rape, murder and violent assault of whites is a daily event, and there is more …

As with the Matabeleland massacres, news of which the BBC, together with much of the world media suppressed for twenty years to protect their one time hero, Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, another secret genocide is being ignored by the world media, the genocide of white Boer farmers, thousands of whom have been horribly tortured to death in their homes since the end of Apartheid. Anyone who clicks on this link should we warned that it includes some very gruesome images as the savagery of these attacks belie the authorities attempts to dismiss them as nothing more than a “crime wave”.

“…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.”

He learned first-hand that communism was not an ideology, it was simply the organization of the worst criminal elements led by Jews to destroy society. This was no speculation. Virtually all the commissars he knew (some of whom he interviewed) where Jewish, while the majority of their activists where common murderers and perverts “liberated” from prison. They were motivated by hatred, power and revenge, nothing else. All their slogans about “Equality” and “Peace” where transparent rues to dupe thoughtless liberals among the Russian people, their victims. Drunk with success, the Jews boasted openly of their plans for world conquest by fomenting the same kind of divisiveness in other countries. They told Pelley that Russia was just a stepping stone, a base for international subversion. Even their phony “communism” was utterly dispensable, just like their own followers, who they never hesitated to massacre on the slightest whim. Their long-range goal was one-world government, in which the masses became willing slaves, fueling an international economy with their genius and labor, while the Jewish people dominated all important positions of power. “After Russia,” one greasy commissar smirked at Pelley, ‘then Europe and later, America!’…” — Exerpt from William Dudley Pelley Father of American Racial Mysticism

Dupes Of Judah - A Challenge To The American Legion

Shall we go to War this time to save Germany’s Jews or Sassoon’s Yellow River Dope Trade?

By William Dudley Pelley

I want to use a little straight-from-the-shoulder language to the men of the American Legion!

I want to talk to them about the inside facts concerning a certain War that twenty years ago made it possible for them to be present Legion members. It’s as plain as the nose on anybody’s face that something like a million American lads went overseas in 1917 to fight a war, about the causes of which they knew next to nothing. (more…)

80-80 Campaign to Throw Out Incumbent Politicians!

From ALIPAC
William Gheen Comments

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) announced today the main thrust of their 2008 candidate and campaign operations will be to throw as many incumbent politicians out of office as possible.

Illegal immigration is one of the top four issues in America that’s driving the historically high percentage of Americans (over 80%) that say America is heading in the wrong direction.

“Over eighty percent of Americans feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction,” says William Gheen of ALIPAC. “That is because “We The People of the United States” are not the ones driving or directing policy. The Executive Branch of our Republic has been hijacked by special interests, and the lack of adequate border security or immigration enforcement exemplifies this problem.”

ALIPAC will encourage Americans via websites, talk radio, ads, and direct voter contact methods to eject all incumbents on the state and federal levels, unless they receive specific notice from the candidate or ALIPAC that the candidates oppose Comprehensive Immigration Reform aka ‘path to citizenship’ aka AMNESTY for illegal aliens, as espoused by both Presidential candidates Obama and McCain.

Approximately 80 incumbent members of Congress who have aligned with the public on immigration enforcement issues will be endorsed and attempts will be made to protect them from the coming public backlash in November.

“Eighty percent of Americans want the border secured and our existing immigration laws enforced. They do not want the laws changed, as McCain and Obama want, to give a form of Amnesty illegal aliens. We have about 80 incumbents in Congress who have stood with the general public on these issues. The rest need to find new jobs and the public needs to throw them out of office, with a swift kick to the hind side.” says William Gheen. (more…)

Who Is Planning Our Next War?

By Pat Buchanan

Of the Axis-of-Evil nations named in his State of the Union in 2002, President Bush has often said, “The United States will not permit the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most destructive weapons.”

He failed with North Korea. Will he accept failure in Iran, though there is no hard evidence Iran has an active nuclear weapons program?

William Kristol of The Weekly Standard said Sunday a U.S. attack on Iran after the election is more likely should Barack Obama win. Presumably, Bush would trust John McCain to keep Iran nuclear free. tors

Yet, to start a third war in the Middle East against a nation three times as large as Iraq, and leave it to a new president to fight, would be a daylight hijacking of the congressional war power and a criminally irresponsible act. For Congress alone has the power to authorize war.

Yet Israel is even today pushing Bush into a pre-emptive war with a naked threat to attack Iran itself should Bush refuse the cup.

In April, Israel held a five-day civil defense drill. In June, Israel sent 100 F-15s and F-16s, with refueling tankers and helicopters to pick up downed pilots, toward Greece in a simulated attack, a dress rehearsal for war. The planes flew 1,400 kilometers, the distance to Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.

Ehud Olmert came home from a June meeting with Bush to tell Israelis: “We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. … I left with a lot less question marks regarding the means, the timetable restrictions and American resoluteness. …

“George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on the matter before the end of his term. … The Iranian problem requires urgent attention, and I see no reason to delay this just because there will be a new president in the White House seven and a half months from now.”

If Bush is discussing war on Iran with Ehud Olmert, why is he not discussing it with Congress or the nation?

9/11… the Truth is Anti-Semitic…

By Les Visible

Every now and then as time approaches for a new entry here… every now and then I just don’t know what to say. So I sit here and I think about it and it isn’t very long before my thoughts return, as they always do, to 9/11 and the prima facie evidence of both Zionist involvement in the act and the cover-up in the aftermath.

The terror State of Israel has had its hand in so many things; told so many lies, caused so many deaths that it has taken on a surreal appearance in my mind. Hardly does a day go by when I don’t learn of some new horror that they brought forth upon the planet. Hardly a day goes by when another new lie, or chorus of lies, does not whip across the landscape like rabid bats; routinely and persistently infecting the population with mind parasites of disinformation. We find out that it was Israel that shoehorned Idi Amin into power. We have found that the Entebbe Hollywood rescue was staged. We know now that Israel deliberately bombed the U.S.S. Liberty and that it was no mistake.

We’re told that it was Arabs that instigated the Six Day War and Yom Kippur conflict and then we find that the facts tell a different story altogether. We are told that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations. The facts tell a different story. The deeper you look the more the story changes. It turns out that Hamas was originally an Israeli creation. I guess that one got away from them. When we look for Al Qaeda cells; a hard job because there is no Al Qaeda, we find that the only one that ever got exposed was a Mossad operation.

Grab an act of genocide in the last century and see who you find at the heart of the matter. How about the Ukraine? How about the Armenian Genocide? You don’t have to look far when it comes to Darfur and Sierra Leone either. All this and Michael Ledeen’s wife too?

The thing is, if you go looking for the truth and sifting the evidence it becomes glaringly apparent soon enough that Zionism and its proponents represent a cynical and viral threat to everything that isn’t them.

When you dissect the real events and official statistics of World War 2 and, of course, World War 1 you find that what you’ve been told is not what was… not at all. You can take what you find and consider it. You can turn it around and look at it from all sides. You can hold it up to the light to see where the light passes through and where the shadows are formed. The more you look, the more you study, the more a particular influence presents itself.

Lauren Burk, a freshman at Auburn University and Eva Carson of UNC. Also pictured are their accused murderers.

The racial murder and rape of White women in America

How the so-called “Civil Rights” Movement in America has led to loss of the most important civil right of all: life.

The almost simultaneous murders of White co-eds at two different, prominent universities, Auburn and University of North Carolina, should bring attention to an epidemic of brutal African-American crimes against White women in the United States.

The murder of Eve Carson, Student Body President of UNC has shocked her campus and its surrounding community to its core. Ms. Carson was found murdered in the middle of an intersection just outside downtown Chapel Hill on Wednesday, March 5th. Her body … which had two gunshot wounds, including one to the head, laid just a mile away from her SUV, which was left abandoned. Bank ATM video revealed that the murderer-carjacker, an African American, apparently attempted to get cash from Carson’s stolen ATM card shortly after the crime.

In a similar recent incident, police arrested another African American attacker, Courtney L. Lockhart, 23, for the grisly murder and attempted rape of Auburn University freshman co-ed, Lauren Burk, on March 4. Courtney was arrested on March 7 after having brutally pistol-whipped the face of another White victim, 72-year-old Marjorie Llewellyn of Newnan, Alabama and briefly kidnapping her at gunpoint during an armed robbery and attempted carjacking earlier in the day.

The recent murders of two White coeds at major universities by Black predators underscore a racial reality that the mass media in America hides from the public: the tens of millions of White victims of Black criminality in America. Over the past four decades since the “civil rights” movement, crime figures show that millions of crimes have been committed by Blacks and other non-White predators against White people. The crimes include robbery, assault, rape and murder. (more…)

Rep. Cannon Finally Fails To Hide Amnesty Record

One of Pres. Bush’s most stalwart allies for illegal-alien amnesties was punished by voters yesterday, losing his Republican primary in a landslide

By Roy Beck

Rep. Chris Cannon — who lost in a 60%-40% Primary election landslide yesterday — had survived several previous Primary challenges by fooling enough people into believing that he was not really an amnesty champion.

His loss should strike some fear into the 362 Members of Congress (68%) who have Amnesty grades of D+ or worse but who nearly all claim to voters that they do NOT support amnesties for illegal aliens.

These amnesty supporters say that they oppose amnesty. When asked to define amnesty, they usually say it would be the granting of AUTOMATIC BLANKET citizenship WITHOUT ANY PENALTIES, FINES OR REQUIREMENTS.

Cannon usually tried to claim that the amnesty bills he championed were really just GUESTWORKER bills that allowed illegal aliens to become guest workers. He conveniently left out that nearly all the “guests” would be allowed to remain in the U.S. permanently and eventually to apply for citizenship.

Cannon and the rest of the amnesty supporters have been quite successful in getting the news media to go along with this charade. Even the Associated Press story on Cannon’s election loss refers to his bills as being about guestworkers!

With the help of the news media, the amnesty champions have been able to confuse enough voters with their deceptive ads and speeches to survive most challenges to their pro-amnesty record.

But not this time for Cannon.

All anti-amnesty Americans should take great hope out of this and multiply their efforts in their own Congressional Districts to force the truth out about their own pro-amnesty Members of Congress this year…

A MAD Foreign Policy

America’s Irrational Defense of Israel

“My number one priority in foreign policy is to protect Israel.”
-Former House Speaker Richard Armey

By Robert Weitzel

Rocky was a boyhood friend. He was as big and as strong as his name. In his wild days, Rocky hung out with a runt whose obnoxious mouth regularly got my friend into serious bar fights. One night Rocky was beaten senseless when he stepped between the runt and someone with dangerous friends. I never understood his irrational defense of a guy with obvious “needs.”

But then — K Street realpolitik notwithstanding — I have difficulty understanding America’s irrational defense of Israel, a country whose “needs” are as much at odds with the security of my country as were the runt’s “needs” at odds with the health of my friend.

Earlier this month 7,000 activists and politicians attended the America Israel Public Forum Committee’s 2008 Policy Conference in Washington D.C. This was AIPAC’s premier pro-Israel event, which attracted a bipartisan who’s who of Congressional sycophants. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s keynote address drew nearly half the members of Congress.

Along with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, both presumptive Democratic and Republican presidential candidates bent a knee and lowered their head in supplication, pledging an unwavering fealty along with an additional 30 billion taxpayer dollars in military aid to Israel.

John McCain told attendees, “The threats to Israel’s security are large and growing and America’s commitment must grow as well. I strongly support the increase in military aid to Israel . . . our shared interests and values are too great for us to follow any other policy.”

Barak Obama dittoed, “Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable . . . Our alliance is based on shared interests and shared values. Those who threaten Israel threaten us . . . as president I will never compromise when it comes to Israel’s security.”

Surviving Sailors Break Their Silence 40 Years After Israeli Attack On US Navy Ship

By Paul Craig Roberts

June 8, 1967 — the fourth day of the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, Syria and Jordan — was a beautiful day in the Mediterranean. The USS Liberty was in international waters off the coast of Egypt. Israeli aircraft had flown over the USS Liberty in the morning and had reported that the ship was American. The crew, in close proximity to the war zone, was reassured by the presence of Israeli aircraft. But at 2:00 p.m. sailors sunbathing on the deck saw fighter jets coming at them in attack formation. Red flashes from the wings of the fighters were followed by explosions, blood and death. A beautiful afternoon suddenly became a nightmare. Who was attacking the USS Liberty and why? The attack on the Liberty was an attack on America.

The Liberty was an intelligence ship. Its purpose was to monitor Soviet and Arab communications in order to warn both Israel and Washington should the Soviets enter the war on behalf of its Arab allies. The Liberty was armed only with four machineguns to repel boarders. Its request for a destroyer escort had been denied.

The assault on the Liberty is well documented. With no warning, the Liberty was attacked by successive waves of unmarked jets using cannon, rockets and napalm. The attacking jets jammed all of the US communications frequencies, an indication they knew the Liberty was an American ship.

The air attack failed to sink the Liberty. About 30 minutes into the attack three torpedo boats appeared flying the Star of David. The Israeli boats were not on a rescue mission. They attacked the Liberty with cannon, machineguns and torpedoes. One torpedo struck the Liberty mid-ship, instantly killing 25 Americans while flooding the lower decks. The Israeli torpedo boats destroyed the life rafts the Liberty launched when the crew prepared to abandon ship, sending the message there’d be no survivors. (…Full Article)

“Banged up”

What I Went Through and Thought as a Political Prisoner in Austria

By David Irving

“….I slipped him the car keys: “If we get separated, you drive off,” I said, anticipating possible Red violence and costly damage to the car. “And I’ll phone you later.”

We walked a hundred yards, and turned the last corner, and I saw three goons peel off the wall on the other side of the otherwise empty street across from the entrance. Phrases from Raymond Chandler skidded through my brain. What would Philip Marlowe have done?

In their early forties, they were burly, stubble-faced and wearing weatherproof jackets—they were hard to place. There was something about them that reminded me of the thugs with baseball bats who smashed my Chicago dinner in September 2000; my fifty guests had included five professors from DePaul University—one thug smashed a chair into my face, other guests were cut by flying glass. After a moment’s hesitation, they crossed the street diagonally towards us.

Ignoring them, we walked right through them. “Mahlzeit,” I nodded: Good afternoon. “Let’s drop into that Kneipe,” I murmured to the student—the bar on the next corner.

“Too late,” he said, dropping the car keys furtively back into my hand. “They’re following. I recognize one. Staatspolizei!”

I doubted it. How could he know the Stapo by sight?

This was no time for “The Long Goodbye.” We split at the corner. Briefly out of sight of the goons, I quickened my pace. The rental Ford Focus was round the next corner. The men had split up. One was following me, a hundred yards behind; two were pursuing the law student.

Round the final corner I speeded up again, walking briskly in the middle of the street, not visibly aiming for anything. I pressed the remote, and heard the soft answering clunk of the car doors unlocking. I ripped open the front right hand door and dropped into the seat, and locked the door. The goon was ninety yards away, and he had begun to trot. Supposing he took out a gun?

My hands reached for the steering column—but the wheel wasn’t there. It was not a British car. It was Swiss. I was on the wrong side. Jeez, you’re getting senile, or perhaps you just needed that sleep. Drive all night, and this is what happens. Your brain clouds over….” (…Read Book Online)

Israelis Attack Amalekites’ - With Baseball Bats!

By Rev. Ted Pike

The government of Israel is now authorizing construction of thousands more illegal homes in its occupied territories. But they will need more land. How do they get it? As they usually have – through theft and violence.

In 1948, Israel terrorized 800,000 Arabs into fleeing Palestine . The Jewish state was built on their stolen land (See, Israel: Found on Terror). This spring, West Bank Arabs repeatedly claimed that armed Jewish settlers attempted to evict them from their land through vicious beatings.

Yet such terrorism was difficult to prove. The word of an ordinary Arab does not carry much clout with the Israeli government or Christian evangelicals, who should intercede for such victims. Finally, Israeli human rights group B’tselm, which monitors Israel’s many human rights abuses (1), provided the embattled Palestinians with 100 video cameras.

Recently, four masked Israeli settlers were videotaped as they approached a Palestinian woman grazing her goats next to Susia, an Israeli settlement. They said she had ten minutes to vacate her land. She refused to abandon her land as her parents, grandparents and countless friends were forced to do since 1948. The masked Israelis savagely beat her with baseball bats.

BBC reports that: “Within a few seconds, she, along with her 70 year-old husband and one of her nephews, will be beaten up.” The woman spent three days in hospital. “A dark stain showed through the white gauze covering her broken right arm.” Also, “a bloodshot eye and intersection of scars revealed a fractured left cheek.” Yet she remains defiant: “They don’t want us to stay on our land. But we won’t leave. We’ll die here. It’s ours.”
