Political Organizations & Activities

National Youth Alliance

In his book "Brotherhood of Murder," Martinez mentions the National Youth Alliance, which had its beginnings as "Youth for Wallace," and was formed during the Wallace Presidential campaign of 1968. He notes that Dr. William Pierce, whom he describes as a "Nazi," along with several founders of George Lincoln Rockwell's National Socialist White People's Party, joined the organization in the late Sixties.

The information he provides which relates to Carto's involvement in this group is sketchy, to say the least:

The behind-the-scenes power in the NYA was Willis Carto, head of the far right-wing, Washington, D.C.-based Liberty Lobby, publisher of an anti-Zionist magazine called 'Spotlight' and also publisher of a book that teaches terrorist urban warfare tactics.

Martinez continues with "After wresting control of the group from Carto..." and no further references are to be found. (Martinez, 33)

The neo-Nazi group The National Alliance grew out of "The National Youth Alliance," and is now controlled by Dr. William Pierce.

I would appreciate receiving any additional, documented, information regarding Carto's involvement with this group, and invite your contributions. ("Brotherhood of Murder" tells of Martinez' involvement with The Order, the neo-nazi organization responsible for the murder of Denver talk-show host Alen Berg and others.)

The Populist Action Committee (Richard Hatch, May, 1993)

In 1991, the Populist Action Committee (PAC) was "formally launched by the Liberty Lobby, the Washington-based populist institution that publishes The Spotlight." (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) The PAC is intimately tied to the Spotlight, which is "a prime mover behind the PAC." (Spotlight, 9-9-91, A-3) Unlike conventional political action committees, the PAC will not give money directly to candidates for office, but rather will "promote and publicize populist candidates, urging patriots to make direct contributions to these candidates." (Ibid)

The Kick-Off

The featured speaker at the kick-off meeting was "English populist" John Tyndall of the British National Party. (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) Tyndall is a British "former" National Socialist who has been quoted as saying "The Jew is like a maggot feeding on a body in an advanced state of decay." (Knight, 47) The selection of Tyndall as featured speaker for the founding meeting is an indication of the political direction of the Populist Action Committee. Tyndall was a founder of the British National Party in 1960. (Hill, page??) The original BNP was "pro-nazi and anti-semitic" and later merged with other far-right groups to form the National Front in 1967. The NF promoted the exclusion of non-whites from England. (Fielding, 67-68)

Tyndall resurrected the old BNP name when he founded a new party after the collapse of the National Front. As noted in a "Spotlight" interview, the BNP publishes _British Nationalist_ and _Spearhead_. (Spotlight, 6-24-91, 16-17) The name "Spearhead" is a throwback to the paramilitary organization in which Tyndall was active during the original BNP days. Tyndall, who sported Nazi-style stormtrooper attire in those days, was "gaoled" for his involvement in this paramilitary group. (Hill, 61)

Promoting "Populist Candidates"

According to Liberty Lobby founder Willis Carto, the PAC "will be promoting populist candidates." (Spotlight, 6-10-91, 11) The PAC does this in part by publicizing the activities of such candidates in the "Spotlight".

In one such case, the "Spotlight" directed readers to Joe Fields who in 1992 was running for a California State legislature seat under the banner of the American Independent Party. Fields is a notorious far-right activist from Southern California who in 1987 "identified himself to reporters as a member of the National Socialist American Workers Party." (Los Angeles Times March 11, 1988, 30, section 1)

Art Jones was singled out for publicity in a special PAC "wrap" addition to the Spotlight. (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A-2) The PAC identified Jones as one of "seven viable candidates for public office who are dedicated to the principles of populism...With your help, there is a chance to elect candidates unbeholden to special interests now plunging our country into ruin." Apparently, this was as far as the PAC could go, since the special PAC "wrap" noted that the "Populist Action Committee is a research and education entity not registered with the Federal Election Committee and does not endorse any candidate." (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A2) An earlier PAC report in the "Spotlight" described Art Jones as a candidate who "puts America first." "Spotlight" went on to note that "Jones has been connected to far-right nationalist groups in the Chicago area by the local media." (Spotlight, 2-24-92, 7)

In fact, local media reports had identified Jones as a leader in the American Nazi Party. (Chicago Tribune 1-20-89, 3) Jones was active in overt Nazi agitation as far back as 1979, when he was photographed at a Chicago rally wearing the swastika armband. He later became briefly involved with Civilian Military Assistance (CMA). CMA was part of the "private" support network for Reagan's contra war in Nicaragua. (Bellant, 120-122) In 1989, Jones was vice chairman of the American Nazi Party. He achieved some notoriety when he was photographed shaking hands with David Duke during Duke's run for governor of Louisiana. Even Duke, attempting to shake off his own past, called Jones a "Nazi kook." (Rose, 64)

Populist Personnel

The make-up of the advisory board of the PAC gives an idea of why such "populist candidates" would be promoted by the PAC. The members (and their descriptions) as of March 9, 1992 included:

Abe Lincoln Austin (Monetary Scientist) Mike Blair (Investigative Reporter)

Ken Bohnsack (Founder, Sovereignty)

Robert Brock (Black Nationalist)

Howard Carson (Publishing Consultant)

Capt. G. Russel Evans (Historian)

Lt. Col. James (Bo) Gritz (US Army, ret.)

Dr. Martin A. Larson (Author)

Roger Lourie (President, Devin-Adair publishing)

Donald A. MacPherson (Constitutional Attorney)

Pauline Mackey (Treasurer, ret. David Duke for President)

Tom McIntyre (Former Chairman, Populist Party)

Eustace Mullins (Author)

John Nugent (Financial Consultant)

Lawrence Patterson (Editor & Publisher, Criminal Politics)

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty (US Air Force, ret.)

John Rakus (President, National Justice Foundation)

John Rarick (Former Congressman, D-Louisiana)

Vince Ryan (Editor, The Spotlight)

Sherman Skolnick (Chairman, Committee to Clean Up the Courts)

Maj. James H. Townsend, Ret. (Editor & Publisher, The National Educator)

James P. Tucker (President, National Media Services)

Tom Valentine (Host, Radio Free America)

Raymond E. Walk (President, Rayan Associates, Inc.)

Robert Weems (Founding Chairman, Populist Party)

Some biographies may be useful in illustrating the caliber of advisors to the PAC...

Mike Blair ("Investigative reporter") is a long-time reporter for Spotlight.

Robert Brock is a "black nationalist" who promotes the repatriation of Black Americans and supports the so-called Pace Amendment to that end. This amendment would cause untold upheaval as it calls for the compulsory repatriation of most minorities in a period of one year. The Pace Amendment would establish mechanisms by which one's race would be judged by "a combination of blood type, ancestry, and appearance." (Aho, 261-263)

Brock's unusual sense of humor was revealed in a surprise appearance at Pete Peters Identity Christian camp in 1988. Brock entered the meeting hall dressed in a KKK robe and revealed himself, at the podium, no doubt to hearty guffaws. (Scriptures, Vol. V <1988>, 20) Brock also organized a 1992 Holocaust revisionist "First

Amendment" conference in Southern California (Los Angeles Times 2-2-92, 1, part Institute for Historical Review regular Mark Weber spoke, as did Joe Fields, now with the Populist Party, and his Afrikaner-born wife Dee Fields. Joe proclaimed his belief in "the purity of the races... and the desirability of segregation."

"Bo" Gritz was "featured at two Liberty Lobby conventions in 1987 and 1990." (Spotlight, 10-26-92, 5) Gritz is a regular on the Christian Identity/Patriot/Liberty Lobby circuit. Rudy Proctor, who Gritz met while attending one of Pastor Pete Peters' Christian Identity camps, paid for tapes and press releases to be sent to radio stations as part of Gritz Khun Sa publicity campaign. (Gritz, 485-486)

Gritz has also worked with another prominent Christian Identity activist, Richard Flowers, of Boring, Oregon. Flowers heads up the Christian Patriot Association (CPA), which publishes "The Patriot Review" and sponsored a Gritz campaign trip to Oregon. Flowers believes that "Blacks in general have a lower IQ than whites, and most just want to come in and take over without establishing anything themselves." (The Clackamas County Review, week ending June 3, 1992, 1-2)

The CPA distributes an array of literature and audio/video tapes through their 76-page book Catalog. (CPA Book Publisher Book Catalog 1992-1993) There are whole sections devoted to "Christianity - Race - Religion" and "The Jewish Issue." Audio tapes by old stand-bys of the Posse Comitatus movement, such as James Wickstrom, are available. (See Ridgeway, James. Blood in the Face. Thunder's Mouth Press, 1990, 133 for an example of a Wickstrom tape message)

Holocaust revisionists are well represented with tapes by David Irving and books by Arthur Butz and Austin App. Gritz has had a direct working relationship with the CPA through the National Coalition to Reform Money and Taxes (NCRMT.) Gritz's Center for Action and the CPA, as well as a number of other "patriot" organizations are allied in this project to repeal income tax, return to the use of gold and silver, etc... The January 1992 edition of "The Petitioner" newsletter, which reports on the activities of the coalition, approvingly interviewed Gritz and his campaign manager Charlie Brown and reported on Gritz's participation in the coalition. Gritz also participated in at least one Patterson Strategy conference in October 1991 (See entry for Patterson, below) (Criminal Politics, July 1991, 29)

Martin Larson's column appears practically every week in the "Spotlight." Larson writes primarily on economic matters, but manages to throw in enough other tidbits to make things interesting. For example, he feels that "the powers that be are doing everything they can to encourage breeding among welfare recipients." (Spotlight, 3-9-92, 18)

Roger Lourie's Devin-Adair company is a long-time source of right-wing publications. In addition, "Devin-Adair and Regnery published the greater part of those World War II revisionist studies which faulted the Roosevelt administration for intervening against the Axis powers." (Mintz, 48)

Tom McIntyre was chairman of the Populist Party when they nominated "former" Klansman David Duke as their Presidential candidate in 1988. (Gritz was nominated to run as Vice Presidential candidate--see above for Gritz.) (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4)

Eustace Mullins is the author of the virulently anti-Jewish book "The Biological Jew" (Faith and Service Books, Stauton, VA, 1968). Mullins, in this lengthy comparison of Jews with biological parasites, wrote:

The Jew has always functioned best as a panderer, a pornographer, a master of prostitution, an enemy of the prevailing sexual standards and prohibitions of the gentile community....

We must remember that there is no Jewish crime per se, since the existence of the Jewish parasite on the host is a crime against nature, because its existence imperils the health and life of the host...

This religious ceremony of drinking the blood of an innocent gentile child is basic to the Jew's entire concept of his existence as a parasite, living off the blood of the host...

The Jews do not want anyone to know what Nazism is. Nazism is simply this--a proposal that the German people rid themselves of the parasitic Jews. The gentile host dared to protest against the continued presence of the parasite, and attempted to throw it off. It was an ineffectual reaction, because it was emotional and ill-informed...

Mullins' writings are a standby on the Klan/neo-Nazi circuit. A recent Sons of Liberty book list included Mullins titles such as "Jewish TV: Sick, Sick, Sick," "The Jewish War Against the Christian World," and "Easter," which the catalog tells us give a "look at the 5,000 years of history in the ongoing war between the Satanic-Jewish forces and their Babylonian religious system and the rest of humanity." (Sons of Liberty Fall 1992 catalog, New Christian Crusade Church)

Lawrence Patterson addressed the national committee of the Populist Party in 1988 when they gathered for the David Duke nomination. Patterson's "Criminal Politics" newsletter carries warnings of a "Zionist Trilateral Party" conspiracy to merge the United States, the USSR, and Europe. This conspiracy is "anti-American, anti-religious, atheistic, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic, and anti- Protestant." (Criminal, 07/91, 6) Patterson's newsletter, which went for $15 an issue in 1991, listed Eustace Mullins (see above) as contributing editor. Eric Butler and Ivor Benson were listed as correspondents. Butler has been a long time leader of the Australian League of Rights and is "considered a mentor by active racists and anti-semites throughout the English-speaking world." (Knight, 23) Similarly, Benson -- Information Advisor to the former Rhodesian government -- was a staunch supporter of apartheid in South Africa. (Ibid, 153)

Pauline Mackey is another veteran of the David Duke campaign.

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty has maintained a strong relationship with the Liberty Lobby for years. During the lengthy legal battles surrounding the Mermelstein lawsuits against the Liberty Lobby and Willis A. Carto, Prouty and fellow PAC advisory board member Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz were "prepared to testify as character witnesses on behalf of Liberty Lobby founder Willis A. Carto." (Spotlight, 10-7-91, 12)

Prouty has been a guest on the Liberty Lobby sponsored Radio Free America program dozens of times. (I understand that the Pacifica Radio folks also broadcasts a syndicated "Radio Free America" program, which should not be confused with this one.) Prouty was a featured speaker at the 35th Liberty Lobby Board of Policy convention were he said "If anybody really wants to know what's going on in the world today, he should be reading 'Spotlight'" and explained that "one of the first enemies we have in this country is usury". (Spotlight, 10-8-90, 14)

John Rarick has been "a willing enough ally of the Liberty Lobby" for years. (Mintz, 155) Rarick was a prominent activist in the segregationist white Citizens Councils.

Robert Weems was the founding chairman of the Populist Party. Weems was a "voting member of party's national executive committee" in 1988, when the party nominated David Duke. (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4) Also the founding national chairman of the PAC, Weems was a Mississippi KKK leader. (Ridgeway, 131)

Weems was scheduled to speak in July 1991 at the "First National Identity-Christian Conference in Reidsville, North Carolina. His topic was "Internationalism and How it Relates to Race, Nation, and Faith." Other speakers at the conference included Eustace Mullins and Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz. The promotional materials for this conference included advertisements for books such as "Our Nordic Race," "White Race--True People of Israel," and "God's Call to Race." (Conference mailing, June 1991)

"Willis Carto, L. Fletcher Prouty, and the IHR

Political Organizations & Activities"

Nothing like whipping a dead horse, is there?

Your tendency for this type of redundant rhetoric is starting to resemble nothing short of overkill.

I think you are not getting my point. At Michigan State University last week the philosophical progeny of those who killed JFK then covered up for the crime, were all there, present and accounted for in person. The Pioneer Fund crowds via Paul Fromm and J. Phillipe Rushton, the Liberty Lobby crowd via David Duke's friends Richard Weems and John Rarick, the Holocaust Denial IHR crowd via that British National Party Politician, the Stormfront American Nazi Party crowd via Wigginton, none other than the YAF Young Republican crowds of Thurmond, Willoughby and Morris, the Canadian neo Right crowds from the World Anti Communist League and Linda Wayne's website. Don't you get it? Don't you even pay attention? Do you fail to see the evidence right before your eyes? They were all there, together, making common cause in front of the media spotlight for everyone and anyone to see. http://www.nizkor.org

Wow, this is incredible. THEY are beating the SAME DEAD HORSE. THEY are playing the anti-Semitic Holocaust

Denial card. THEY are beating the racist card. THEY are playing the YAF and The John Birch cards. THEY are

beating the British Nationalist drum. THEY are beating the White Supremacist drum, playing the Stormfront and ANP cards, the Populist Party card, The Pioneer Fund Bell Curve cards, here in the USA because neither Canada nor England will let them do it. THEY are playing the Super Patriot card. And YOU are still blind to what they are doing? Wow.

You really either don't get it or are just ignorant or blind to what is happening right before your rose colored glasses.

Which is it? Go to YAFWatch.blogspot.com and listen to all the UTube videos and write down the names then take

out a crayon and connect the dots and compare them to the Willis Carto IHR and Liberty Lobby list above. Thanks.

1.0 Introduction & Editorial Notes

"If antisemitism has a core, factual meaning, it was demonstrated

here." Thus did Judge Bork, in 1984, dismiss the suit brought by

Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby against 'The Wall Street Journal' for

having called it "anti-Semitic."

The Coalition for Human Dignity describes the Institute for

Historical Review as "... a pseudo-academic think tank dedicated to

disproving that the Holocaust happened. Founded by the dean of

American anti-Semites Willis Carto, IHR functions as a clearinghouse

for Holocaust denial and a meeting ground for anti-Semitic scholars

in the United States." (CHD, "Denial")

This document is presented as part of a continuing effort to provide

those confronting the IHR's propaganda machine with a research tool

to help them understand the nature of the organization, its

associations and some of the principal players. It was compiled and

edited with the help of lots of concerned folks on the network; without

their assistance it probably could not have been produced. (Several

sections within this document are incomplete, and have been marked

[Work in progress] - with luck, those sections will have been completed

within the next month or so.) In particular, I would like to acknowledge

Richard Hatch's PAC contribution, which was invaluable.

2.0 Background Information

The Institute for Historical Review was founded in 1979 by Lewis

Brandon, who also served as the first director. (Lewis Brandon is an

alias for William David McCalden, a British neo-fascist who in 1975

had founded Britain's National Party, a break-away from the notorious

neo-Nazi National Front.)

The IHR operates under the umbrella of the Legion for Survival of

Freedom, a registered non-profit corporation in the State of Texas.

The Institute for Historical Review is the moving force in the

movement to deny the Holocaust. Its initial meeting was opened by

Willis Carto, who also funds the organization, and whom some

(including Dennis King, author of the 1989 work "Lyndon LaRouche and

the New American Fascism") credit with starting it. No matter - with

McCalden out of the way (he left the IHR, and has since died), the

IHR was Carto's mouthpiece, until his forced ouster in late

1994.

[iHR] [Page 2]

Among the speakers at the 1980 convention were the Swede Felderer,

convicted and institutionalised in his country, and the Frenchman,

Robert Faurisson, convicted in his country of libel and promoting racism

and expelled from his University (though he still misrepresents himself

as member of its faculty).

2.1 Willis Carto

Carto, born in 1926 in Indiana, had helped edit "Right" (a

mid-fifties San Francisco newsletter for an information clearinghouse for

antisemitic activities), was, inter alia, director of the far right

Congress of Freedom and, briefly, organiser for the John Birch

Society, from which he was later expelled.

In 1989, Dennis King provided this picture of Carto's ideological

background during his discussion of the connection between Lyndon

LaRouche, the NCLC (see Glossary, below), and Carto's Liberty Lobby

(get pub/orgs/american/ihr/larouche.ihr):

Carto, founder of the Liberty Lobby, was by far the most

successful and influential American anti-Semite of the 1970s. He

was an intellectual disciple of the late Francis Parker Yockey,

who roamed Europe and North America in the 1950s futilely

attempting to build an underground movement. Carto met Yockey

only once - in San Francisco in 1960, when Yockey was in jail

awaiting trial for possession of false passports. Several days

after their meeting, Yockey committed suicide in his cell by

taking cyanide. Carto, already an ultrarightist, dedicated

himself to carrying out Yockey's mission to save Western

civilization.

This mission was set forth in Yockey's 'Imperium,' a 600-page

synthesis of Nazi racialism and Oswald Spengler's philosophy of

history. The book was dedicated to the 'Hero of the Second World

War' (Hitler). But Carto, although devoted to Yockey's ideas, had

no illusions about Yockey's tactics. Instead of engaging in inept

conspiracies, he concentrated on building a political movement and

developed a populist cover ideology. Although he discreetly sold

'Mein Kampf' and 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' by mail, he

publicly denied being either a Nazi or an anti-Semite - he was

merely 'anti-Zionist.'

Carto defended Hitler's heritage, not by saying the Holocaust had

been a good thing, but by denying that it ever took place. He

founded the Institute for Historical Review to prove that the

alleged murder of six million Jews was a hoax invented by Zionists

to make people feel sorry for them. Carto went so far as to

publish a theory that the gas ovens at Auschwitz were really just

an industrial facility for converting coal into oil, operated by

happy well-fed Jewish prisoners.

[iHR] [Page 3]

Carto's Liberty Lobby, based in Washington, D.C., and nominally

headed by Colonel Curtis B. Dall (a former son-in-law of

President Franklin D. Roosevelt), enjoyed friendly ties with

conservative congressmen. It published a weekly tabloid, 'The

Spotlight,' which by 1979 enjoyed a paid circulation of almost

200,000*. Its articles championed income-tax rebels, protested the

plight of family farmers, and promoted quack cancer cures such as

laetrile. Its favorite political targets included the

Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Henry Kissenger, the Council on

Foreign Relations, and the 'Zionist entity' in Palestine." (King,

39-40)

*According to George and Wilcox, circulation peaked at 315,000 in 1981

and had fallen to about 90,000 by 1992. (George & Wilcox, 260)

What kind of a man is Carto? The answer to that question is suggested

by his writing:

There are 600 million Chinese and about 200 million Russians. All

united in a determination to destroy the West. And we have been

so misled that we live in a dream world - far away from reality.

Hitler's defeat was the defeat of Europe. And America. How could

we have been so blind? The blame, it seems, must be laid at the

door of the international Jews. It was their propaganda, lies and

demands which blinded the West as to what Germany was doing. ---

from a letter to Norris Holt

Who is using who? Who is calling the shots? History supplies the

answer to this. History tells us plainly who our Enemy is. Our

Enemy today is the same Enemy of 50 years ago and before - and

that was before Communism. The Communists are "using" the Jews we

are told ... who was "using" the Jews fifty years ago - one

hundred or one thousand years ago. History supplies the answer.

The Jews came first and remain Public Enemy No. 1. --- a memo to

himself

In fact, no objective Scholar can deny today that the world would

be a far better place to live if Germany had won - even if it had

meant the defeat of American arms!

Let us first understand who won and who lost the last war. The

victors were Soviet Russia, international Communism, Red China,

Israel, international Zionism, the international money

manipulators (Wall Street-CFR crowd) and rising colored

nationalisms the world over.

[iHR] [Page 4]

Let us now name the losers: All of the European nations, most

certainly including Britain and her now non-existent Empire, the

United States, White world-hegemony and the idea of the

war-preventing, world-saving philosophy of nationalism and

non-interference in the affairs of others. ..........

(Hitler and Chamberlain, incidentally, and contrary to the massive

lies told about "Munich," worked out a sensible and workable

agreement at Munich to save Europe from a war. In return for a

free hand in the east, Hitler guaranteed Chamberlain that Germany

would not contest Britain's dominance on the seas, or covet any of

her colonies. The deal was broken by the war-madness stirred up

by the British press in obedience to the financial power after

Hitler marched on Poland - and also by pressure from Roosevelt.)

..........

Israel and Zionism would be unknown - still a crazy

dream in the minds of a few fanatics - and the secret

international power of the Zionist conspiracy would not be in

existence nor the manifold culture distortions which flow from

this disease source into all of the western nations. ..........

Juvenile delinquency would be uncommon because the youth of

America would be filled with patriotism, the natural aftermath of

defeat in war, and there would be something to aspire to.

Desegregation and the cultural negrification of America would be

unknown. ..........

What would have been the effect of a German

victory inside Germany? It is important to remember that Hitler's

ambition stopped in Europe - he would have gone no further. He

would have stopped if for no other reason that he yearned to build

Germany into an architectural paradise. The result of German

victory would have brought a true internationalism of Europe! The

United Europe only dreamed of today would have been a certain

result of the war. ..........

The important thing to note is

that a German victory would have assured that the life-span of

the White world would have been extended for many centuries more

than now seems likely; indeed, for the "thousand years" promised

by Hitler. --- from American Mercury, Summer 1973

By the way, the author of this last article is "E. L. Anderson,

Ph.D.", which is an alias for Carto.

What kind of a man is Willis Carto? You tell me...

In 1955 Carto founded Liberty Lobby as a right-wing political

pressure group in Washington D.C., and has been running it ever since.

[iHR] [Page 5]

The Simon Wiesenthal Center's recent infiltration report has this to

say about Carto:

Willis Carto is the most influential professional antisemite in

the United States. He is the founder of Liberty Lobby, the

Institute for Historical Review, the Noontide Press (which

distributes a wide range of racist and antisemitic titles), and

the Populist Party, whose 1988 Presidential candidate was David

Duke. Carto's name came up in nearly every conversation held

between Ron Furey, S.W.C. researcher, Richard Eaton, and the

neo-Nazis. Literature produced by the Carto organization is

widely read by German's radical right. In addition, several of

those interviewed know Mr. Carto personally. (Get

pub/orgs/american/wiesenthal.centre/swc.oprep) for the full

Wiesenthal report on the penetration of Germany's extreme right.)

2.2 Liberty and Property

Diamond tells us that "...Carto had also run an outfit called Liberty

and Property, and published a monthly newsletter called 'Right', from

1955 to 1960. Through 'Right' Carto attempted to link the

segregationist Citizen's Councils with the grassroots anti-communist

groups of the McCarthy era, and with some of the unsuccessful racist

splinter parties of the time. As it grew, the Liberty Lobby would

later downplay its Klan and neo-Nazi movement connections. But the

pages of 'Right' are a goldmine of evidence on the Lobby's racist

origins and agenda. Carto recommended that his readers join up with

George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party, whose leader J. B.

Stoner was convicted for the 1958 Klan bombing of the Bethel Baptist

Church in Alabama."

3.0 IHR Publications

The IHR publishes an unreviewed "journal," "The Journal of Historical

Review," as well as "The IHR Newsletter," and an "IHR Update."

Dan Gannon, the owner-operator of the Portland, Oregon, bulletin

board system known as "banished.uucp," published articles from

Carto's organization on a regular basis, presumably as a public

service to those wishing to obtain a more accurate understanding of

the true nature of Carto and his associates. Many of these documents

are archived by ftp.nizkor.org, and thus available for anonymous

retrieval. (Mr. Gannon's computer system offers its users a steady

diet of anti-Semitic and racist material; Gannon is an eager

campaigner for Mr. Carto's anti-Semitic agenda.)

Why did Gannon do it, when he knew from past experience, both on

UseNet and GEnie, that he would be laughed at and hated for doing so?

Martinez provided the answer during a discussion of free speech

issues in general, and the Alan Berg show in particular:

[iHR] [Page 6]

Alan Berg gave huge amounts of air time to racists so that he

could satisfy his ego by responding to them and ridiculing them. The

racists know they will be ridiculed when they go on such programs,

and assume they will be despised by more than 99 percent of the

people who hear them spout their venom. But none of that is of any

matter to them. The fraction of 1 percent is. There they will find

the malcontents, the embittered, the bigots, and the sincerely

concerned but ignorant people like I was. The numbers are in their

favor, and they know it. Snyder's program [Tom Snyder interviewed

David Duke on television, and seeing that show led Martinez into the

supremacist camp. knm] may have reached 2 million listeners; if only

one-tenth of 1 percent of them respond favorably, they have recruited

2,000 people, no doubt swelling the ranks of their group ten- or

twentyfold. One hundredth of 1 percent would make them happy.

(Martinez, 242)

A parting comment or two regarding Mr. Gannon, from those he most

admires:

Prince Otto von Bismark, a member of the great chancellor's family,

charaterized Ribbentrop as 'such an imbecile he is a freak of

nature.' The French ambassador remarked: 'I could not talk to

Ribbentrop; he listened only to himself.' Goering referred to him

as 'Germany's number-one parrot,' because of his endless repetition

of meaningless claptrap." (Conot, Robert E. Justice at Nuremberg.

New York: Harper & Row, 1983, 52-53)

One can only wonder how these folks would have viewed Mr. Gannon...

IHR publications posted to UseNet newsgroups are archived on

ftp.nizkor.org, and are available to the public via anonymous

ftp. In general, the filename reflects the source of the article:

IHR newsletters are prefaced with IHR, while JHR files are prefaced

with JHR. The file extensions reflect either the month and year of

publication, plus the volume number (if provided) i.e. IHR.0492n86

contains material from the April, 1993, newsletter, number 86, while

JHR.v12n4 contains material from the Journal of Historical Review,

volume 12, number 4. Spotlight articles use the form

"spotlight.mmyy," i.e. "spotlight.0193" contains material from the

January, 1993 editions.

3.1 Noontide Press

The publishing arm of the IHR and other related organisations,

Noontide Press, which can boast of such titles as "The Protocols of

the Learned Elders of Zion," "The six millions reconsidered" and

"Antizion," The treasurer of its holding company is Carto's wife

and until 1981 its firm office manager was one Lewis Brandon.

Noontide Press is owned by the Legion for Survival of Freedom,

which is the umbrella corporation under which the IHR itself operates.

Additional titles offered by Noontide press include these gems:

"Amendment to the Constitution" (Pace) - a proposal to restrict U.S.

citizenship to white people.

"Our Nordic Race" (Hoskins) - an "outline (of) present threats to

Nordic survival", complete with proposed measures to "protect and

preserve the Nordic race."

"The Testing of Negro Intelligence" (Osborne & McGurk) - the authors'

findings "give little comfort to egalitarians." Those findings are

based, of course, on "performance on intelligence tests from 1966-

1980."

[iHR] [Page 7]

"For Those Who Cannot Speak" (McLaughlin) - you may have guessed

that he's not talking about Holocaust victims. This book is a

"vigorous 'case for the defense' for National Socialist Germany."

"Hitler : the Unknown Artist" (Price) - "What a magnificent

production!", gushes the blurb. "The first comprehensive... catalog

of Hitler's paintings, drawings, sketches, doodles and daydreams."

Yes, folks, his daydreams.

And don't forget perennial favorites "Hitler at My Side" and "IQ and

Racial Differences".

Martinez mentions one more book published by Noontide Press, 'The Road

Back,' and notes that it has been used as a textbook for seminars

at the Aryan Nations. "It includes an illustrated chapter on methods

for mining roads and blowing up bridges."(Martinez, 241)

Mark Weber, writing in the East Bay Express (Get

pub/orgs/american/ihr/express.011792 for the complete Weber letter,

transcribed with permission for release on UseNet), claimed that

Noontide Press and the Institute for Historical Review were "entirely

independent" of the Liberty Lobby. This flew in the face of reality,

however, since the business license for both was filed by Carto's wife

Elisabeth, and Carto was listed on the letterhead of the IHR as

"founder." Carto's weekly, 'The Spotlight,' regularly promoted

Noontide Press as an integral part of the Liberty Lobby's

"Liberty Library." [Note: Following the ouster of Willis Carto

from the IHR in 1994, reportedly at gunpoint, Weber's assertion is

finally correct. knm]

Carto has apparently lost control of his Noontide Press

publishing arm, according to The Dignity Report, a publication of

the (Portland, Oregon) Coalition for Human Dignity's Research

Department. (Get pub/people/c/carto.willis/carto.005 for full details.)

This during the same period when Carto was successfully removed

from his controlling position at the Institute for Historical

Review. Legal maneuvers, however, continue - in October of

1995, Willis Carto filed a document with the Office of the

Secretary of State, Corporate Section, which outlined changes

to the Legion's charter, and signed the document as the

President of the Corporation. (URL ftp://ftp.nizkor.org/pub/

orgs/american/legion-for-survival-of-freedom/legal contains

legal filings of interest with regard to the legal battle

between Willis Carto and Greg Raven.)

3.3 The Journal of Historical Review

In a mid-1995 fund-raising letter from the IHR, the authors

suggested that publication of the Journal might be discontinued,

due to serious financial problems. How much of this is rhetoric,

aimed at picking the pockets of supporters, and how much reflects

the loss of the Edison millions through the forced ouster of

Willis Carto is unknown.

In the meantime, Carto's _Spotlight_ announced (August, 1994)

the publication of "The Barnes Review," Carto's new Holocaust

denial publication, which will compete with the JHR for readers

and, of course, money. According to the ADL (ADL Special Report,

"Embattled Bigots: A Split in the Ranks of the Holocaust Denial

Movement", p. 5), the _Spotlight_ staff will assist in the

prouduction of the _Barnes_Review_.

3.4 The Spotlight

The Spotlight evolved from the Liberty Lobby's newsletter, "Liberty

Letter," which echoed Willis Carto's earlier anti-Semitic assaults

during the period when he controlled "American Mercury." According to

Deborah Lipstadt,

"In 1975 the lobby's _Liberty Letter_, whose circulation was more

than one-hundred thousand, was subsumed by the _Spotlight_, a

tabloid newspaper that regularly featured articles on Bible

analysis and the putative efforts of the Council on Foreign

Relations and the Trilateral Commission to dominate the nation. It

offered its readers tips on avoiding taxes and fighting the IRS.

The paper attacked Martin Luther King, Jr., as a Communist and

praised members of the Ku Klux Klan. It has memorialized Gordon

Kahl, the leader of the right-wing-extremist group Posse

Comitatus, who killed three [uS] federal marshals and wounded a

number of others before he was killed in 1983 in a shoot-out with

federal agents." (Lipstadt, 150)

Lipstadt offers information which suggests that _Spotlight_'s

standards for journalistic integrity leave something to be desired:

"...In 1979 _Spotlight_'s lead article described how a global

elite planned to topple world governments. The paper claimed that

its reporter had attended an international conference in Austria

at which such plans were discussed. In truth, no one from the

_Spotlight_ attended this legitimate conference, and the reporter

who wrote the story admitted to falsifying it." (Lipstdt, 150)

Lipstadt goes on to explain that the primary focus of _Spotlight_'s

attention lies in exposing what it calls the "Jew-Zionist"

international bankers' conspiracy, aimed at Americans, and the

"Holocaust Hoax," which it maintains is an integral part of this vast

conspiracy. Holocaust denial "has also become a regular staple."

(Ibid., 150)

"The nature of _Spotlight_'s readership can be gauged to some

degree by the contents of its classified advertising section.

There are ads for poetry, laetrile prescriptions, dating services

for patriotic Christians, and devices for dramatically increasing

a car's gasoline mileage (these devices have supposedly been kept

off the market in a conspiracy against the American consumer). In

addition, its classified section regularly offers Nazi

paraphernalia, gun silencer parts, bullet-proof vests, clandestine

mail drops, and instructions for manufacturing false

identification." (Lipstadt, 151)

The masthead of the May 3, 1993 edition of The Spotlight lists Robert

Weems with the Southern Bureau. Weems is a former KKK leader and

founding chairman of the PAC (see Section 4.2).

The Canadian representation on the international bureau is Ron

Gostick. Gostick controls the "Freedom Council of Canada," along

with Patrick Walsh, both of whom are described as officers of the

anti-Semitic (and non-governmental) "Canadian Intelligence Service."

Walsh is said to be the "Canadian correspondent of the Liberty

Lobby," although I am uncertain as to what this refers to. (Anderson, 154)

[iHR] [Page 8]

3.5 IHR/JHR Editorial Advisory Staff & Writers

3.51 Andrew Arnold

No information available as of this date. "Andrew Arnold" was the

author of a recent (April 1993) Spotlight article attacking the Museum

of the Holocaust, in Washington, D.C. No biographical information was

provided with the article. (get pub/orgs/american/ihr/spotlight.0493

to see the entire article, as posted to UseNet by Dan Gannon.)

3.52 Dr. Robert Faurisson

Faurisson, a former French academic, contends that the Holocaust was

a hoax which benefits Israel in the form of reparation payments,

(Barrett, 162) a view commonly aired by those espousing Holocaust

denial. Seidel provides excellent background material:

In November 1978 Robert Faurisson wrote a letter on the

'problem' of the gas chambers. Its timing was important. Its

publication in Le Monde followed close on the heels of a

scandalous interview with Darquier de Pellepoix in the weekly

magazine, L'Express. Darquier was the Vichy Commissioner

General for Jewish Affairs. Darquier has been described as

the 'French Eichmann'--though even Eichmann, the architect of

the 'Final Solution', did not seek to deny its reality. ...

The Holocaust denial in France has become synonymous with the

Faurisson affair. What is more, it has become embroiled with

Noam Chomsky, the distinguished American linguist and staunch

opponent of the Vietnam war. (get pub/orgs/american/ihr/seidel.001

for Seidel's discussion of Chomsky's role - it is beyond the scope

of this FAQ. knm)

Faurisson's book is entitled Memoire en Defense--contre ceux qui

m'accusent de falsifier l'histoire. La question des chambres a

gaz (Testimony in Defence: Against those who Accuse me of

Falsifying History. The Question of the Gas Chambers). It is

Faurisson's answer to the accusation of falsifying history.

Testimony in Defence was published in Paris by Pierre Guillaume

for the left anarchist publishing house, La Vieille Taupe (The

Old Mole), in 1980. ...

Faurisson's denial of the Holocaust first appeared in the

satirical Canard Enchaine ["Le Canard Enchaine".knm] on 17 July

1974. It subsequently gained public attention in December 1978

when the influential Paris daily, Le Monde, published a letter from

Faurisson headed 'The problem of the "gas chambers" or "The rumour

of Auschwitz"'. He wrote with calculated cynicism: 'The

non-existence of the "gas chambers" is good news for poor humanity.

Good news like this should not be suppressed any longer.'

[iHR] [Page 9]

Robert Faurisson is not a historian. He belongs to a long line

of antisemitic academics and literary critics. Until recently,

he was a lecturer in twentieth-century French literature at the

University of Lyons II. He specialises in revealing 'the real

meaning' of texts. In Faurisson's view, texts have one

particular meaning, or none at all, an approach to stylistics he

calls 'the Ajax method'--because 'it scours as it cleans as it

shines'. (Seidel, 98-111. Seidel provides extensive information

regarding Faurisson's background, writing, and trial. Get

pub/orgs/american/ihr/seidel.001 to review his material.)

Faurisson has also pronounced the Diary of Anne Frank and the

Gerstein Report to be "fabrications and falsifications," and asserts

that the Holocaust "lie" is essentially "Zionist" in origin, and that

it has led to a "huge financial swindle of which the state of Israel

is the principal beneficiary." It was the widespread publication of

this sort of material that led the Dean of Lyons University to

suspend Faurisson's lectures.

Faurisson was one of the four members of the IHR advisory board who

testified at the trial of Ernst Zundel in Canada.

3.53 Ditlieb Felderer

Felderer, testifying at the trial of Ernst Zundel (Canada), explained

his conviction on a charge of "threatening or expressing contempt for

a group" for publishing a "Jewish Information" tract entitled "Please

accept this hair of gas victim," which he described as satire, by

stating that he was being "persecuted by Zionists." (Bilodeau)

According to the Toronto Star, "Felderer called his native Sweden a

'totalitarian state' and compared his trial to a 'Soviet show trial,'

and "...said Nazi concentration camps were more humane than modern

prisons." (Bilodeau)

3.54 William Lindsay

Lindsay was one of the four members of the IHR advisory board who

testified at the trial of Ernst Zundel in Canada. (Barrett, 162) Any

additional documented information which we can utilize to augment

this section will be appreciated.

3.55 Theodore O'Keefe

In an article published to coincide with the official opening of the

Washington, D.C. Holocaust Museum, one editor is briefly

described as follows:

"Theodore J. O'Keefe is an editor with the Institute for

Historical Review. Educated at Harvard University, he has studied

history and literature on three continents, and has published

numerous articles on historical and political subjects."

[iHR] [Page 10]

According to the 1990 Harvard Alumni Directory, Mr. O'Keefe failed

to graduate, so the reader will have to make his own decision about

whether or not he obtained his education there. Additional material would

be appreciated.

The above "bio" of Mr. O'Keefe would seem to be simply one

more example of how the IHR can be relied upon to mislead its

readers. (We have written to the IHR [April, 1993] and asked for more

informative information regarding Mr. O'Keefe's educational background

and areas of expertise, but no additional information has been provided.)

As of mid-1995, Mr. O'Keefe may have left the IHR.

3.56 Greg Raven

Mr. Raven, now the President and CEO of the Legion for the

Survival of Freedom, and therefor the IHR itself, offers insight into

his personal political beliefs in this message which he posted during

a GEnie debate into Holocaust denial:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Category 15, Topic 4

Message 33 Fri Mar 13, 1992

G.RAVEN at 03:02 EST

My only concern is in going after the facts. As such, I am

not interested in defending Adolf Hitler to my dying

breath. I will say, however, that he was a great man ...

certainly greater than Churchill and FDR put together, and

possibly the greatest leader of our century, if not longer.

This is not to say that he was perfect, but he about the

best thing that could have happened to Germany.

-------------------------------------------------------------

(Other examples of Mr. Raven's historical beliefs may be found

within the IHR archives here - his writing may be found in the

directory pub/people/r/raven.greg at ftp.nizkor.org.)

3.57 Henri Roques

Roques...wrote a thesis titled 'Confessions of Kurt Gerstein: A

Comparative Study of Different Versions - A Critique.'..[he] claims

in his thesis to have 'scientifically' disproved that the gas

chambers at Auschwitz were used for mass murder. After submitting his

'revisionist' thesis to the University of Paris, where it was

rejected, he received his doctorate with distinction from the faculty

of letters of the University of Nantes.

A government investigation into the granting of his degree revealed a

number of irregularities:

First, Roques transferred from the University of Paris

to Nantes...three months after the deadline for

student enrollment had passed and without

authorization from the University rector. Second, he

did not have the necessary qualifications or title for

presenting a thesis in literature or history. Third,

the mandatory oral examination did not take place.

Fourth, he wrote the thesis in two months rather than

the two years required minimum registration period.

Finally, the signature of one of the examiners said to

have been present at the presentation of the thesis

was forged.

In 1986, the French Minister of Higher Education... invalidated

Roque's thesis citing the above irregularities....

...

Since 1986, Roques has established close ties to the IHR. He was a

guest speaker at their Eighth Annual Conference in 1987, and joined

their Editorial Advisory Committee in 1990. IHR now offers Roque's

discredited thesis for sale on its mail-order booklists." (Caplan,

43-44)

[iHR] [Page 11]

3.60 Udo Walendy

Udo Walendy was described in the Simon Wiesenthal Center infiltration

report as follows:

Udo Walendy is a notorious Holocaust denier who, for years,

has served on the advisory board of the Journal of Historical

Review, the official publication of the Institute for Historical

Review of Costa Mesa, California. (see entries for Mark Weber and

Willis Carto) ...Walendy expressed interest in ... offering his

assistance in the creation of a Nazi center in Germany.

3.65 Mark Weber

In response to my query, the IHR provided the following background

information concerning Mr. Weber:

Mark Weber was born in October 1951 in Portland, Oregon, where he was

also raised. He graduated from Jesuit High School there in 1969.

He studied at the University of Illinois (Chicago), the University of

Munich (Germany), and Portland State University, from where he

received a Batchelor's degree in history (with high honors). He then

did graduate work in history at Indiana University (Bloomington),

where he served as a history instructor and received a Master of Arts

degree in European history in 1977.

He has travelled widely in Europe and northwestern Africa. He lived

and worked for two and a half years in Germany (Bonn and Munich), and

for a time in Ghana (West Africa), where he taught English, history

and geography at an all-Black secondary school.

During the five years he lived in Washington, D.C. (1978-1983) he

carried out extensive research on the Holocaust issue at the National

Archives and the Library of Congress. Weber is the author of numerous

articles, reviews and essays dealing with the Holocaust story, and

his writings on other historical, political and social issues have

appeared in a variety of periodicals.

In March 1988 Weber testified for five days in Toronto District Court

as a recognized expert witness on the "Final Solution" and the

Holocaust issue.

He moved to Southern California at the beginning of 1991 to work for

the Institute for Historical Review. He is now editor of the 'Journal

of Historical Review,' published six times years <sic> by the IHR.

[iHR] [Page 12]

Mark Weber serves as Carto's pipeline to the German paleo-nazis, as was

conclusively demonstrated by the Simon Wiesenthal Center's recent

penetration of the German right. Here's what the infiltration report has

to say about Mr. Weber's Nazi connections:

Mark Weber works for the Institute for Historical Review (Costa

Mesa, California), one of several antisemitic organizations

founded by Willis A. Carto. The I.H.R. devotes most of its time

to spreading the bizarre notion that the Holocaust is wildly

exaggerated and that the gas chambers of Hitler's death camps are

a myth. In 1978, Weber was identified as the news editor of the

National Vanguard, the publication of William Pierce's neo-Nazi

group, the National Alliance.

Weber's name came up in several conversations with German

neo-Nazis, including Wolfgang Kempkens and Roy Godenau. As part

of Ron Furey's cover, a "cold" phone line at the Simon Wiesenthal

Center was attached to an answering machine informing the caller

that he/she had reached The Right Way. That phone number was

known only to the Center's senior research staff, Ron Furey, and

the neo-Nazis to whom it was given.

At 2:55pm on Friday, February 12, 1993, a man identifying himself

as Mark Weber called the number, requested a copy of The Right

Way, and left his P.O.B. address for mailing. The Center's

graphics department sent him a colorful subscription application

for the non-existent periodical, instead. This was apparently

enough to satisfy Mr. Weber's curiosity because he soon acceded

to Ron's request for a meeting.

That meeting took place on February 27, 1993 at the Cafe

Westminster in Westminster, California. It was filmed by a CBS

camera crew stationed in a van outside. Mr. Furey spoke to Mark

Weber at length about the "state of the movement" in Germany. To

help establish his credibility, he showed Weber several photos

picturing him and several German neo-Nazis together. Weber

correctly identified them all.

Weber soon felt comfortable enough to discuss the miserliness of

his current employer and to ask about the possibility of finding

work with The Right Way. He was also recommended by Reinhard

Kopps (see entry) to Richard Eaton for a separate project.

Kineahora@cup.portal.com (Chana Braun) provided us with an

interesting glance into Mark Weber's intregity when she wrote

<59136@cup.portal.com> that "...I have excellent evidence that Mark Weber

colors the truth (to put it mildly) in regards to debates," and then

went on to detail a series of exchanges between a Holocaust denier

and others on another computer network.

[iHR] [Page 13]

Her article outlined the exchange dealing with Mark Weber's being

invited to join in the debate, and Mr. Weber's demand that she

(Chana Braun) not "bring in any outside help" in her debate with him.

(Mr. Weber, quite clearly, was not the least bit interested in an

open and comprehensive debate on a public computer network.)

(get pub/people/w/weber.mark/webers.feet for the full text of Chana's

article.)

As Chana explains:

There was absolutely no response to that reply

and nothing more was heard concerning the possibility of an open

discussion on that network until the February 1992 issue of the

IHR Newsletter. Here, then is the way that it was reported (and

keep in mind that Mark Weber is the editor of the Newsletter).

"In the January Newsletter I told about an IHR activist who had

received a challenge to publicly debate the Holocaust on [the

network] open forum bulletin board computer service - the largest

interactive computer network.

...After we promptly offered Mark Weber to represent that

Revisionist [sic] side, XXX suddenly flip-flopped. Deciding that

she is not a 'scholar' after all, but merely an 'amateur,' she

complained that it would be 'unfair' for her to have to face a

professional historian."

-----------

The plot in this story thickens. The one opposing the Holocaust

Deniers on that network wrote a letter to the editor of the

Newsletter (i.e. Mark Weber). Since the IHR is such a staunch

champion of Freedom of Speech, it seems strange that 3 months

later, that letter has still not received a reply much less been

printed in the IHR Newsletter.

[iHR] [Page 14]

Here, then, is the letter that the IHR Newsletter refuses to

print or even acknowledge:

February 27, 1992

Mark Weber, Editor

IHR Newsletter

Institute of Historical Review

1822 1/2 Newport Blvd.

Suite 191

Costa Mesa, CA 92627

Dear Mr.Weber:

I read with interest the article in your IHR Newsletter #85

February 1992 concerning [the network] and me. This is truly a

work of revisionism (e.g. distorting the facts to fit into your

personal view of the world) and, since those connected with the

IHR claim that they are eager to be taken seriously, it is

surprising that I was not contacted for comment before you went

to press.

Let's get the facts straight. Your "IHR activist" was posting

messages denying the Holocaust. I responded. He claimed that

no one was willing to debate the Holocaust. This, of course, is

absurd. I told him that he could name his sources and begin.

He posted a message about The Leuchter Report. I rebutted his

erroneous statements. (By the way, I don't believe he has read

the report. You might want to check on that before you

encourage his "activism" too much.) He then suddenly claimed on

the public board that he didn't have time to debate and he was

trying to get someone online from the IHR. I responded by

telling him that everyone was welcome. That is when he

contacted you and you agreed to come online.

What your "IHR activist" presented to me were a set of

ridiculous conditions. They included that the debate take place

only between you and me and that it be advertized on [the

network]. I was told to contact the "Arts Club Leader" to urge

her to agree. First, [the Arts Club Leader] doesn't have the

authority to grant such requests. Even if she did, as I told

your "activist," there are no precedents to such a closed debate

on Prodigy and that involving the Arts Club Leader might even be

counter-productive. My reasoning was this: "In fact, involving

the Arts Club leader might be counter-productive in that it

calls attention to this single debate and, if it ever begins,

our messages might undergo closer scrutiny by the censors. I

don't think either of us wants that." In fact, since you are

such a champion for "open debate," I was very surprised that you

wished for this one to be closed to others.

[iHR] [Page 15]

One of the amusing requirements for your participation in the

debate was an agreement by me that I would have no outside help

(whatever that means). This amusement I expressed to your

"activist" in the following quote: "I am an amateur (i.e. I

don't get paid by anyone to research the Holocaust, I am not

employed by anyone or any organization that has an interest in

the Holocaust and/or Holocaust Denial, etc.). You have

presented yourself in the same manner. Mr. Weber, I think you

would agree, is a professional. There is no prohibition against

him joining the discussion but I do think it odd that you ask

that I not ask for any outside help when you are bringing in a

professional."

If you notice, I claim amateur status because I don't get paid -

not because I am not a "scholar" or because it would be "unfair"

for me to have to debate a professional. Yet, you are

apparently so frightened of debating in a situation where you

cannot control all the factors that I heard nothing else from

you or your "activist." Please notice, I did not say I wouldn't

agree to your terms regarding outside help. I only said that I

found it "odd" that a professional would insist on such a term

before debating an amateur.

However, the greatest part of your article had to be the

sub-headline of "Another Anti-Revisionist Gets Cold Feet." I

assure you, Mr. Weber, that my feet are toasty warm. In fact,

I closed my message to your "activist" with the following: "I

guess the main question is: Do you and Mr. Weber desire to have

an open discussion or not? If so, post a message (either on

your own or one on behalf of Mr. Weber). That is the manner in

which all other discussions are initiated on [the network] and I

don't see any need to make an exception for this one."

I am still waiting for an answer to that question. What

temperature are your feet, Mr. Weber?

Sincerely,

<signature>

Mr. Weber, to our knowledge, has still not either printed the above

letter in the "open" IHR Newsletter or responded privately to Ms.

Braun. Given that more than a year has passed, it would seem that Mr.

Weber's feet are rather chilly indeed.

In an article published in the Express, a San Francisco Bay Area

weekly newspaper, Paul Rauber included the following comments about

Mark Weber:

[iHR] [Page 16]

The question [of whether the IHR denies the Holocaust] appears to

turn on IHR's Humpty-Dumpty word game with the word Holocaust.

According to Mark Weber, associate editor of the IHR's _Journal of

Historical Review_, "If by the `Holocaust' you mean the political

persecution of Jews, some scattered killings, if you mean a cruel

thing that happened, no one denies that. But if one says that the

`Holocaust' means the systematic extermination of six to eight

millions Jews in concentration camps, that's what we think there's

not evidence for." That is, IHR doesn't deny that the Holocaust

happened; they just deny that the word "Holocaust" means what

people customarily use it for. (Rauber, 'Sticks')

Weber's claim for the "independence" of the IHR is marked by the

same disingenuousness that characterizes that institutes

scholarship. In 1980 the business license for "The Noontide

Press/Institute for Historical Review" was filed by Elisabeth

Carto, wife of Liberty Lobby founder and treasurer Willis Carto.

Carto himself is listed on IHR's letterhead as "founder." IHR's

activities are regularly promoted in the Spotlight, as are the

racist and anti-Semitic books by Noontide Press, which are

advertised as part of the Lobby's "Liberty Library." (Rauber,

'Response')

According to the July, 1995, "IHR Update," Mr. Weber is now

the IHR Director. He is also listed in a July 1995 legal

document as the Secretary of the Legion for the Survival of

Freedom.

4.0 Political Organizations & Activities

4.1 National Youth Alliance

In his book "Brotherhood of Murder," Martinez mentions the National

Youth Alliance, which had its beginnings as "Youth for Wallace," and

was formed during the Wallace Presidential campaign of 1968. He

notes that Dr. William Pierce, whom he describes as a "Nazi," along

with several founders of George Lincoln Rockwell's National Socialist

White People's Party, joined the organization in the late Sixties.

The information he provides which relates to Carto's involvement in

this group is sketchy, to say the least:

The behind-the-scenes power in the NYA was Willis Carto, head of

the far right-wing, Washington, D.C.-based Liberty Lobby,

publisher of an anti-Zionist magazine called 'Spotlight' and also

publisher of a book that teaches terrorist urban warfare tactics.

Martinez continues with "After wresting control of the group from

Carto..." and no further references are to be found. (Martinez, 33)

The neo-Nazi group The National Alliance grew out of "The National

Youth Alliance," and is now controlled by Dr. William Pierce.

I would appreciate receiving any additional, documented, information

regarding Carto's involvement with this group, and invite your

contributions. ("Brotherhood of Murder" tells of Martinez'

involvement with The Order, the neo-nazi organization responsible for

the murder of Denver talk-show host Alen Berg and others.)

4.2 The Populist Action Committee (Richard Hatch, May, 1993)

In 1991, the Populist Action Committee (PAC) was "formally launched

by the Liberty Lobby, the Washington-based populist institution that

publishes _The Spotlight_." (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) The PAC is

intimately tied to the Spotlight, which is "a prime mover behind the

PAC." (Spotlight, 9-9-91, A-3) Unlike conventional political action

committees, the PAC will not give money directly to candidates for

office, but rather will "promote and publicize populist candidates,

urging patriots to make direct contributions to these candidates."

(Ibid)

The Kick-Off

The featured speaker at the kick-off meeting was "English populist"

John Tyndall of the British National Party. (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1)

Tyndall is a British "former" National Socialist who has been quoted

as saying "The Jew is like a maggot feeding on a body in an advanced

state of decay." (Knight, 47) The selection of Tyndall as featured

speaker for the founding meeting is an indication of the political

direction of the Populist Action Committee. Tyndall was a founder of

the British National Party in 1960. (Hill, page??) The original BNP

was "pro-nazi and anti-semitic" and later merged with other far-right

groups to form the National Front in 1967. The NF promoted the

exclusion of non-whites from England. (Fielding, 67-68)

[iHR] [Page 18]

Tyndall resurrected the old BNP name when he founded a new party

after the collapse of the National Front. As noted in a "Spotlight"

interview, the BNP publishes _British Nationalist_ and _Spearhead_.

(Spotlight, 6-24-91, 16-17) The name "Spearhead" is a throwback to

the paramilitary organization in which Tyndall was active during the

original BNP days. Tyndall, who sported Nazi-style stormtrooper

attire in those days, was "gaoled" for his involvement in this

paramilitary group. (Hill, 61)

Promoting "Populist Candidates"

According to Liberty Lobby founder Willis Carto, the PAC "will be

promoting populist candidates." (Spotlight, 6-10-91, 11) The PAC does

this in part by publicizing the activities of such candidates in the

"Spotlight".

In one such case, the "Spotlight" directed readers to Joe Fields who

in 1992 was running for a California State legislature seat under the

banner of the American Independent Party. Fields is a notorious

far-right activist from Southern California who in 1987 "identified

himself to reporters as a member of the National Socialist American

Workers Party." (Los Angeles Times March 11, 1988, 30, section 1)

Art Jones was singled out for publicity in a special PAC "wrap"

addition to the Spotlight. (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A-2) The PAC

identified Jones as one of "seven viable candidates for public office

who are dedicated to the principles of populism...With your help,

there is a chance to elect candidates unbeholden to special interests

now plunging our country into ruin." Apparently, this was as far as

the PAC could go, since the special PAC "wrap" noted that the

"Populist Action Committee is a research and education entity not

registered with the Federal Election Committee and does not endorse

any candidate." (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A2) An earlier PAC report in the

"Spotlight" described Art Jones as a candidate who "puts America

first." "Spotlight" went on to note that "Jones has been connected to

far-right nationalist groups in the Chicago area by the local media."

(Spotlight, 2-24-92, 7)

In fact, local media reports had identified Jones as a leader in the

American Nazi Party. (Chicago Tribune 1-20-89, 3) Jones was active

in overt Nazi agitation as far back as 1979, when he was photographed

at a Chicago rally wearing the swastika armband. He later became

briefly involved with Civilian Military Assistance (CMA). CMA was

part of the "private" support network for Reagan's contra war in

Nicaragua. (Bellant, 120-122) In 1989, Jones was vice chairman of

the American Nazi Party. He achieved some notoriety when he was

photographed shaking hands with David Duke during Duke's run for

governor of Louisiana. Even Duke, attempting to shake off his own

past, called Jones a "Nazi kook." (Rose, 64)

[iHR] [Page 19]

Populist Personnel

The make-up of the advisory board of the PAC gives an idea of why

such "populist candidates" would be promoted by the PAC. The members

(and their descriptions) as of March 9, 1992 included:

Abe Lincoln Austin (Monetary Scientist)

Mike Blair (Investigative Reporter)

Ken Bohnsack (Founder, Sovereignty)

Robert Brock (Black Nationalist)

Howard Carson (Publishing Consultant)

Capt. G. Russel Evans (Historian)

Lt. Col. James (Bo) Gritz (US Army, ret.)

Dr. Martin A. Larson (Author)

Roger Lourie (President, Devin-Adair publishing)

Donald A. MacPherson (Constitutional Attorney)

Pauline Mackey (Treasurer, ret. David Duke for President)

Tom McIntyre (Former Chairman, Populist Party)

Eustace Mullins (Author)

John Nugent (Financial Consultant)

Lawrence Patterson (Editor & Publisher, Criminal Politics)

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty (US Air Force, ret.)

John Rakus (President, National Justice Foundation)

John Rarick (Former Congressman, D-Louisiana)

Vince Ryan (Editor, The Spotlight)

Sherman Skolnick (Chairman, Committee to Clean Up the Courts)

Maj. James H. Townsend, Ret. (Editor & Publisher, The National Educator)

James P. Tucker (President, National Media Services)

Tom Valentine (Host, Radio Free America)

Raymond E. Walk (President, Rayan Associates, Inc.)

Robert Weems (Founding Chairman, Populist Party)

Some biographies may be useful in illustrating the caliber of

advisors to the PAC...

Mike Blair ("Investigative reporter") is a long-time reporter for

Spotlight.

Robert Brock is a "black nationalist" who promotes the repatriation

of Black Americans and supports the so-called Pace Amendment to that

end. This amendment would cause untold upheaval as it calls for the

compulsory repatriation of most minorities in a period of one year.

The Pace Amendment would establish mechanisms by which one's race

would be judged by "a combination of blood type, ancestry, and

appearance." (Aho, 261-263)

Brock's unusual sense of humor was revealed in a surprise appearance

at Pete Peters Identity Christian camp in 1988. Brock entered the

meeting hall dressed in a KKK robe and revealed himself, at the

podium, no doubt to hearty guffaws. (Scriptures, Vol. V <1988>, 20)

Brock also organized a 1992 Holocaust revisionist "First

[iHR] [Page 20]

Amendment" conference in Southern California (Los Angeles Times

2-2-92, 1, part Institute for Historical Review regular Mark Weber

spoke, as did Joe Fields, now with the Populist Party, and his

Afrikaner-born wife Dee Fields. Joe proclaimed his belief in "the

purity of the races... and the desirability of segregation."

"Bo" Gritz was "featured at two Liberty Lobby conventions in 1987 and

1990." (Spotlight, 10-26-92, 5) Gritz is a regular on the Christian

Identity/Patriot/Liberty Lobby circuit. Rudy Proctor, who Gritz met

while attending one of Pastor Pete Peters' Christian Identity camps,

paid for tapes and press releases to be sent to radio stations as

part of Gritz Khun Sa publicity campaign. (Gritz, 485-486)

Gritz has also worked with another prominent Christian Identity

activist, Richard Flowers, of Boring, Oregon. Flowers heads up the

Christian Patriot Association (CPA), which publishes "The Patriot

Review" and sponsored a Gritz campaign trip to Oregon. Flowers

believes that "Blacks in general have a lower IQ than whites, and

most just want to come in and take over without establishing anything

themselves." (The Clackamas County Review, week ending June 3, 1992,

1-2)

The CPA distributes an array of literature and audio/video tapes

through their 76-page book Catalog. (CPA Book Publisher Book Catalog

1992-1993) There are whole sections devoted to "Christianity - Race -

Religion" and "The Jewish Issue." Audio tapes by old stand-bys of the

Posse Comitatus movement, such as James Wickstrom, are available.

(See Ridgeway, James. Blood in the Face. Thunder's Mouth Press,

1990, 133 for an example of a Wickstrom tape message)

Holocaust revisionists are well represented with tapes by David

Irving and books by Arthur Butz and Austin App. Gritz has had a

direct working relationship with the CPA through the National

Coalition to Reform Money and Taxes (NCRMT.) Gritz's Center for

Action and the CPA, as well as a number of other "patriot"

organizations are allied in this project to repeal income tax, return

to the use of gold and silver, etc... The January 1992 edition of

"The Petitioner" newsletter, which reports on the activities of the

coalition, approvingly interviewed Gritz and his campaign manager

Charlie Brown and reported on Gritz's participation in the coalition.

Gritz also participated in at least one Patterson Strategy conference

in October 1991 (See entry for Patterson, below) (Criminal Politics,

July 1991, 29)

Martin Larson's column appears practically every week in the

"Spotlight." Larson writes primarily on economic matters, but manages

to throw in enough other tidbits to make things interesting. For

example, he feels that "the powers that be are doing everything they

can to encourage breeding among welfare recipients." (Spotlight,

3-9-92, 18)

[iHR] [Page 21]

Roger Lourie's Devin-Adair company is a long-time source of

right-wing publications. In addition, "Devin-Adair and Regnery

published the greater part of those World War II revisionist studies

which faulted the Roosevelt administration for intervening against

the Axis powers." (Mintz, 48)

Tom McIntyre was chairman of the Populist Party when they nominated

"former" Klansman David Duke as their Presidential candidate in 1988.

(Gritz was nominated to run as Vice Presidential candidate--see above

for Gritz.) (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4)

Eustace Mullins is the author of the virulently anti-Jewish book "The

Biological Jew" (Faith and Service Books, Stauton, VA, 1968).

Mullins, in this lengthy comparison of Jews with biological

parasites, wrote:

The Jew has always functioned best as a panderer, a pornographer,

a master of prostitution, an enemy of the prevailing sexual

standards and prohibitions of the gentile community....

We must remember that there is no Jewish crime per se, since the

existence of the Jewish parasite on the host is a crime against

nature, because its existence imperils the health and life of the

host...

This religious ceremony of drinking the blood of an innocent

gentile child is basic to the Jew's entire concept of his

existence as a parasite, living off the blood of the host...

The Jews do not want anyone to know what Nazism is. Nazism is

simply this--a proposal that the German people rid themselves of

the parasitic Jews. The gentile host dared to protest against the

continued presence of the parasite, and attempted to throw it off.

It was an ineffectual reaction, because it was emotional and

ill-informed...

Mullins' writings are a standby on the Klan/neo-Nazi circuit. A

recent Sons of Liberty book list included Mullins titles such as

"Jewish TV: Sick, Sick, Sick," "The Jewish War Against the Christian

World," and "Easter," which the catalog tells us give a "look at the

5,000 years of history in the ongoing war between the Satanic-Jewish

forces and their Babylonian religious system and the rest of

humanity." (Sons of Liberty Fall 1992 catalog, New Christian Crusade

Church)

Lawrence Patterson addressed the national committee of the Populist

Party in 1988 when they gathered for the David Duke nomination.

Patterson's "Criminal Politics" newsletter carries warnings of a

"Zionist Trilateral Party" conspiracy to merge the United States, the

USSR, and Europe. This conspiracy is "anti-American, anti-religious,

atheistic, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic, and anti- Protestant."

(Criminal, 07/91, 6) Patterson's newsletter, which went

[iHR] [Page 22]

for $15 an issue in 1991, listed Eustace Mullins (see above) as

contributing editor. Eric Butler and Ivor Benson were listed as

correspondents. Butler has been a long time leader of the Australian

League of Rights and is "considered a mentor by active racists and

anti-semites throughout the English-speaking world." (Knight, 23)

Similarly, Benson -- Information Advisor to the former Rhodesian

government -- was a staunch supporter of apartheid in South Africa.

(Ibid, 153)

Pauline Mackey is another veteran of the David Duke campaign.

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty has maintained a strong relationship with

the Liberty Lobby for years. During the lengthy legal battles

surrounding the Mermelstein lawsuits against the Liberty Lobby and

Willis A. Carto, Prouty and fellow PAC advisory board member Lt.

Col. James "Bo" Gritz were "prepared to testify as character

witnesses on behalf of Liberty Lobby founder Willis A. Carto."

(Spotlight, 10-7-91, 12)

Prouty has been a guest on the Liberty Lobby sponsored Radio Free

America program dozens of times. (I understand that the Pacifica

Radio folks also broadcasts a syndicated "Radio Free America"

program, which should not be confused with this one.) Prouty was a

featured speaker at the 35th Liberty Lobby Board of Policy

convention were he said "If anybody really wants to know what's

going on in the world today, he should be reading 'Spotlight'" and

explained that "one of the first enemies we have in this country is

usury". (Spotlight, 10-8-90, 14)

John Rarick has been "a willing enough ally of the Liberty Lobby" for

years. (Mintz, 155) Rarick was a prominent activist in the

segregationist white Citizens Councils.

Robert Weems was the founding chairman of the Populist Party. Weems

was a "voting member of party's national executive committee" in

1988, when the party nominated David Duke. (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4)

Also the founding national chairman of the PAC, Weems was a

Mississippi KKK leader. (Ridgeway, 131)

Weems was scheduled to speak in July 1991 at the "First National

Identity-Christian Conference in Reidsville, North Carolina. His

topic was "Internationalism and How it Relates to Race, Nation, and

Faith." Other speakers at the conference included Eustace Mullins and

Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz. The promotional materials for this

conference included advertisements for books such as "Our Nordic

Race," "White Race--True People of Israel," and "God's Call to Race."

(Conference mailing, June 1991)

[iHR] [Page 23]

5.0 IHR Investigates Conference Attendees

The nature of the IHR can clearly be seen from the application it used

for its 10th. "International Revisionist Conference", which required

"Those who have not been an attendee at a previous IHR conference" to

provide the names of the conference speakers, if any, "or others you

may know will be attending" as personal references. If none of the

speakers would vouch for you, you were required to provide "two personal

references with daytime phone numbers" to permit background

investigation before permitting those wishing to attend to do so.

Has anyone here ever been to a convention of any scientific, medical,

historical or academic organization and been required to have someone

"vouch" for you before you could attend? Clearly the IHR's interest

in "open debate" isn't genuine, given their obvious reluctance to

permit it at their own conventions! (get

pub/orgs/american/ihr/ihr.applicant)

6.0 Epilog

The following extract was published anonymously to alt.revisionism

in February, 1994. It indicates that Willis Carto has been purged

from the IHR - the Coalition for Human Dignity's Research

Department (Portland, Oregon) offered additional information in

its March 1, 1994 Dignity Report. (Get

pub/people/c/carto.willis/ carto.005 for the article.)

From _The Journal of Historical Review_, Nov/Dec 1993, pg 25:

WILLIS CARTO AND THE IHR

Willis Carto is perhaps best known as the founder and director

of Liberty Lobby, an organization based in Washington, DC that

publishes a weekly tabloid paper, The Spotlight. Carto has also

been affiliated with the Institute for Historical Review since

its founding in 1978. As those who have attended recent IHR

conferences know, the IHR staff acknowledges the many hours of

volunteer help that he and his wife Elisabeth have contributed

over the years.

Neither, however, contributed financially to the IHR. Neither

was involved in the IHR's day to day operations, nor was either

ever a paid employee. Willis Carto did, however, occasionally

act as an "agent" for the Institute and its non-profit corporate

parent, the "Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc."

During the past several months, facts have come to light to

persuade the IHR senior staff that Carto's relationship with the

IHR had become a liability. After much careful deliberation,

and on advice of legal counsel, the Institute resolved to

terminate this relationship. Accordingly, the corporate Board

of Directors, meeting on September 25, voted unanimously to end

its relationship with the Cartos. This decision has the full

support of the IHR staff, including Director Tom Marcellus* and

editors Mark Weber, Theodore O'Keefe and Greg Raven. (Note:

it is my understanding that Mr. Marcellus has left the IHR to

pursue other interests. KNM, April 5, 1995)

* Mr. Marcellus has since left the IHR to pursue other interests,

including the Church of Scientology.

[iHR] [Page 24]

Tom Martinez provides us with a fitting epilog to this document in

one of the final chapters of "Brotherhood of Murder":

"[A] ... self-depreciating logic is displayed when the Neo-Nazis

and their allies claim that the Holocaust never occurred. In order

to do that, they have to deny that their hero Hitler, with whose

anti-Semitism they are in agreement, ever intended to harm the

Jews. Instead, the Jews wanted to harm Hitler and bring the entire

sacred Aryan supremacy movement into disrepute, which they did -

with diabolical cleverness - by fabricating the Holocaust. Just as

with Cutler's* analysis of The Order's failure, in denying the

Holocaust, the Aryan racists are admitting they aren't capable of

carrying out their own aims. Each time they appear to have tried

to do so - as with the Jews in Germany or The Order - they are

actually under the control of their enemy. In this way, claims of

Aryan superiority become riddled with admissions of Aryan

inferiority, which admissions - because they are psychologically

insupportable to those making them - are readily denied through

the creation of a fantasy world..." (Martinez, 206)

* Eldon "Bud" Cutler, who succeeded Gary Yarbrough as security chief

for the Aryan Nations in 1985

Willis Carto, L. Fletcher Prouty and the IHR

Political Organizations & Activities

National Youth Alliance

In his book "Brotherhood of Murder," Martinez mentions the National Youth Alliance, which had its beginnings as "Youth for Wallace," and was formed during the Wallace Presidential campaign of 1968. He notes that Dr. William Pierce, whom he describes as a "Nazi," along with several founders of George Lincoln Rockwell's National Socialist White People's Party, joined the organization in the late Sixties.

The information he provides which relates to Carto's involvement in this group is sketchy, to say the least:

The behind-the-scenes power in the NYA was Willis Carto, head of the far right-wing, Washington, D.C.-based Liberty Lobby, publisher of an anti-Zionist magazine called 'Spotlight' and also publisher of a book that teaches terrorist urban warfare tactics.

Martinez continues with "After wresting control of the group from Carto..." and no further references are to be found. (Martinez, 33)

The neo-Nazi group The National Alliance grew out of "The National Youth Alliance," and is now controlled by Dr. William Pierce.

I would appreciate receiving any additional, documented, information regarding Carto's involvement with this group, and invite your contributions. ("Brotherhood of Murder" tells of Martinez' involvement with The Order, the neo-nazi organization responsible for the murder of Denver talk-show host Alen Berg and others.)

The Populist Action Committee (Richard Hatch, May, 1993)

In 1991, the Populist Action Committee (PAC) was "formally launched by the Liberty Lobby, the Washington-based populist institution that publishes The Spotlight." (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) The PAC is intimately tied to the Spotlight, which is "a prime mover behind the PAC." (Spotlight, 9-9-91, A-3) Unlike conventional political action committees, the PAC will not give money directly to candidates for office, but rather will "promote and publicize populist candidates, urging patriots to make direct contributions to these candidates." (Ibid)

The Kick-Off

The featured speaker at the kick-off meeting was "English populist" John Tyndall of the British National Party. (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) Tyndall is a British "former" National Socialist who has been quoted as saying "The Jew is like a maggot feeding on a body in an advanced state of decay." (Knight, 47) The selection of Tyndall as featured speaker for the founding meeting is an indication of the political direction of the Populist Action Committee. Tyndall was a founder of the British National Party in 1960. (Hill, page??) The original BNP was "pro-nazi and anti-semitic" and later merged with other far-right groups to form the National Front in 1967. The NF promoted the exclusion of non-whites from England. (Fielding, 67-68)

Tyndall resurrected the old BNP name when he founded a new party after the collapse of the National Front. As noted in a "Spotlight" interview, the BNP publishes _British Nationalist_ and _Spearhead_. (Spotlight, 6-24-91, 16-17) The name "Spearhead" is a throwback to the paramilitary organization in which Tyndall was active during the original BNP days. Tyndall, who sported Nazi-style stormtrooper attire in those days, was "gaoled" for his involvement in this paramilitary group. (Hill, 61)

Promoting "Populist Candidates"

According to Liberty Lobby founder Willis Carto, the PAC "will be promoting populist candidates." (Spotlight, 6-10-91, 11) The PAC does this in part by publicizing the activities of such candidates in the "Spotlight".

In one such case, the "Spotlight" directed readers to Joe Fields who in 1992 was running for a California State legislature seat under the banner of the American Independent Party. Fields is a notorious far-right activist from Southern California who in 1987 "identified himself to reporters as a member of the National Socialist American Workers Party." (Los Angeles Times March 11, 1988, 30, section 1)

Art Jones was singled out for publicity in a special PAC "wrap" addition to the Spotlight. (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A-2) The PAC identified Jones as one of "seven viable candidates for public office who are dedicated to the principles of populism...With your help, there is a chance to elect candidates unbeholden to special interests now plunging our country into ruin." Apparently, this was as far as the PAC could go, since the special PAC "wrap" noted that the "Populist Action Committee is a research and education entity not registered with the Federal Election Committee and does not endorse any candidate." (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A2) An earlier PAC report in the "Spotlight" described Art Jones as a candidate who "puts America first." "Spotlight" went on to note that "Jones has been connected to far-right nationalist groups in the Chicago area by the local media." (Spotlight, 2-24-92, 7)

In fact, local media reports had identified Jones as a leader in the American Nazi Party. (Chicago Tribune 1-20-89, 3) Jones was active in overt Nazi agitation as far back as 1979, when he was photographed at a Chicago rally wearing the swastika armband. He later became briefly involved with Civilian Military Assistance (CMA). CMA was part of the "private" support network for Reagan's contra war in Nicaragua. (Bellant, 120-122) In 1989, Jones was vice chairman of the American Nazi Party. He achieved some notoriety when he was photographed shaking hands with David Duke during Duke's run for governor of Louisiana. Even Duke, attempting to shake off his own past, called Jones a "Nazi kook." (Rose, 64)

Populist Personnel

The make-up of the advisory board of the PAC gives an idea of why such "populist candidates" would be promoted by the PAC. The members (and their descriptions) as of March 9, 1992 included:

Abe Lincoln Austin (Monetary Scientist) Mike Blair (Investigative Reporter)

Ken Bohnsack (Founder, Sovereignty)

Robert Brock (Black Nationalist)

Howard Carson (Publishing Consultant)

Capt. G. Russel Evans (Historian)

Lt. Col. James (Bo) Gritz (US Army, ret.)

Dr. Martin A. Larson (Author)

Roger Lourie (President, Devin-Adair publishing)

Donald A. MacPherson (Constitutional Attorney)

Pauline Mackey (Treasurer, ret. David Duke for President)

Tom McIntyre (Former Chairman, Populist Party)

Eustace Mullins (Author)

John Nugent (Financial Consultant)

Lawrence Patterson (Editor & Publisher, Criminal Politics)

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty (US Air Force, ret.)

John Rakus (President, National Justice Foundation)

John Rarick (Former Congressman, D-Louisiana)

Vince Ryan (Editor, The Spotlight)

Sherman Skolnick (Chairman, Committee to Clean Up the Courts)

Maj. James H. Townsend, Ret. (Editor & Publisher, The National Educator)

James P. Tucker (President, National Media Services)

Tom Valentine (Host, Radio Free America)

Raymond E. Walk (President, Rayan Associates, Inc.)

Robert Weems (Founding Chairman, Populist Party)

Some biographies may be useful in illustrating the caliber of advisors to the PAC...

Mike Blair ("Investigative reporter") is a long-time reporter for Spotlight.

Robert Brock is a "black nationalist" who promotes the repatriation of Black Americans and supports the so-called Pace Amendment to that end. This amendment would cause untold upheaval as it calls for the compulsory repatriation of most minorities in a period of one year. The Pace Amendment would establish mechanisms by which one's race would be judged by "a combination of blood type, ancestry, and appearance." (Aho, 261-263)

Brock's unusual sense of humor was revealed in a surprise appearance at Pete Peters Identity Christian camp in 1988. Brock entered the meeting hall dressed in a KKK robe and revealed himself, at the podium, no doubt to hearty guffaws. (Scriptures, Vol. V <1988>, 20) Brock also organized a 1992 Holocaust revisionist "First

Amendment" conference in Southern California (Los Angeles Times 2-2-92, 1, part Institute for Historical Review regular Mark Weber spoke, as did Joe Fields, now with the Populist Party, and his Afrikaner-born wife Dee Fields. Joe proclaimed his belief in "the purity of the races... and the desirability of segregation."

"Bo" Gritz was "featured at two Liberty Lobby conventions in 1987 and 1990." (Spotlight, 10-26-92, 5) Gritz is a regular on the Christian Identity/Patriot/Liberty Lobby circuit. Rudy Proctor, who Gritz met while attending one of Pastor Pete Peters' Christian Identity camps, paid for tapes and press releases to be sent to radio stations as part of Gritz Khun Sa publicity campaign. (Gritz, 485-486)

Gritz has also worked with another prominent Christian Identity activist, Richard Flowers, of Boring, Oregon. Flowers heads up the Christian Patriot Association (CPA), which publishes "The Patriot Review" and sponsored a Gritz campaign trip to Oregon. Flowers believes that "Blacks in general have a lower IQ than whites, and most just want to come in and take over without establishing anything themselves." (The Clackamas County Review, week ending June 3, 1992, 1-2)

The CPA distributes an array of literature and audio/video tapes through their 76-page book Catalog. (CPA Book Publisher Book Catalog 1992-1993) There are whole sections devoted to "Christianity - Race - Religion" and "The Jewish Issue." Audio tapes by old stand-bys of the Posse Comitatus movement, such as James Wickstrom, are available. (See Ridgeway, James. Blood in the Face. Thunder's Mouth Press, 1990, 133 for an example of a Wickstrom tape message)

Holocaust revisionists are well represented with tapes by David Irving and books by Arthur Butz and Austin App. Gritz has had a direct working relationship with the CPA through the National Coalition to Reform Money and Taxes (NCRMT.) Gritz's Center for Action and the CPA, as well as a number of other "patriot" organizations are allied in this project to repeal income tax, return to the use of gold and silver, etc... The January 1992 edition of "The Petitioner" newsletter, which reports on the activities of the coalition, approvingly interviewed Gritz and his campaign manager Charlie Brown and reported on Gritz's participation in the coalition. Gritz also participated in at least one Patterson Strategy conference in October 1991 (See entry for Patterson, below) (Criminal Politics, July 1991, 29)

Martin Larson's column appears practically every week in the "Spotlight." Larson writes primarily on economic matters, but manages to throw in enough other tidbits to make things interesting. For example, he feels that "the powers that be are doing everything they can to encourage breeding among welfare recipients." (Spotlight, 3-9-92, 18)

Roger Lourie's Devin-Adair company is a long-time source of right-wing publications. In addition, "Devin-Adair and Regnery published the greater part of those World War II revisionist studies which faulted the Roosevelt administration for intervening against the Axis powers." (Mintz, 48)

Tom McIntyre was chairman of the Populist Party when they nominated "former" Klansman David Duke as their Presidential candidate in 1988. (Gritz was nominated to run as Vice Presidential candidate--see above for Gritz.) (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4)

Eustace Mullins is the author of the virulently anti-Jewish book "The Biological Jew" (Faith and Service Books, Stauton, VA, 1968). Mullins, in this lengthy comparison of Jews with biological parasites, wrote:

The Jew has always functioned best as a panderer, a pornographer, a master of prostitution, an enemy of the prevailing sexual standards and prohibitions of the gentile community....

We must remember that there is no Jewish crime per se, since the existence of the Jewish parasite on the host is a crime against nature, because its existence imperils the health and life of the host...

This religious ceremony of drinking the blood of an innocent gentile child is basic to the Jew's entire concept of his existence as a parasite, living off the blood of the host...

The Jews do not want anyone to know what Nazism is. Nazism is simply this--a proposal that the German people rid themselves of the parasitic Jews. The gentile host dared to protest against the continued presence of the parasite, and attempted to throw it off. It was an ineffectual reaction, because it was emotional and ill-informed...

Mullins' writings are a standby on the Klan/neo-Nazi circuit. A recent Sons of Liberty book list included Mullins titles such as "Jewish TV: Sick, Sick, Sick," "The Jewish War Against the Christian World," and "Easter," which the catalog tells us give a "look at the 5,000 years of history in the ongoing war between the Satanic-Jewish forces and their Babylonian religious system and the rest of humanity." (Sons of Liberty Fall 1992 catalog, New Christian Crusade Church)

Lawrence Patterson addressed the national committee of the Populist Party in 1988 when they gathered for the David Duke nomination. Patterson's "Criminal Politics" newsletter carries warnings of a "Zionist Trilateral Party" conspiracy to merge the United States, the USSR, and Europe. This conspiracy is "anti-American, anti-religious, atheistic, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic, and anti- Protestant." (Criminal, 07/91, 6) Patterson's newsletter, which went for $15 an issue in 1991, listed Eustace Mullins (see above) as contributing editor. Eric Butler and Ivor Benson were listed as correspondents. Butler has been a long time leader of the Australian League of Rights and is "considered a mentor by active racists and anti-semites throughout the English-speaking world." (Knight, 23) Similarly, Benson -- Information Advisor to the former Rhodesian government -- was a staunch supporter of apartheid in South Africa. (Ibid, 153)

Pauline Mackey is another veteran of the David Duke campaign.

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty has maintained a strong relationship with the Liberty Lobby for years. During the lengthy legal battles surrounding the Mermelstein lawsuits against the Liberty Lobby and Willis A. Carto, Prouty and fellow PAC advisory board member Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz were "prepared to testify as character witnesses on behalf of Liberty Lobby founder Willis A. Carto." (Spotlight, 10-7-91, 12)

Prouty has been a guest on the Liberty Lobby sponsored Radio Free America program dozens of times. (I understand that the Pacifica Radio folks also broadcasts a syndicated "Radio Free America" program, which should not be confused with this one.) Prouty was a featured speaker at the 35th Liberty Lobby Board of Policy convention were he said "If anybody really wants to know what's going on in the world today, he should be reading 'Spotlight'" and explained that "one of the first enemies we have in this country is usury". (Spotlight, 10-8-90, 14)

John Rarick has been "a willing enough ally of the Liberty Lobby" for years. (Mintz, 155) Rarick was a prominent activist in the segregationist white Citizens Councils.

Robert Weems was the founding chairman of the Populist Party. Weems was a "voting member of party's national executive committee" in 1988, when the party nominated David Duke. (Spotlight, 3-28-88, 4) Also the founding national chairman of the PAC, Weems was a Mississippi KKK leader. (Ridgeway, 131)

Weems was scheduled to speak in July 1991 at the "First National Identity-Christian Conference in Reidsville, North Carolina. His topic was "Internationalism and How it Relates to Race, Nation, and Faith." Other speakers at the conference included Eustace Mullins and Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz. The promotional materials for this conference included advertisements for books such as "Our Nordic Race," "White Race--True People of Israel," and "God's Call to Race." (Conference mailing, June 1991)

Nothing like whipping a dead horse, is there?

Your tendency for this type of redundant rhetoric is starting to resemble nothing short of overkill.

I think you are not getting my point. At Michigan State University last week the philosophical progeny of those who killed JFK then covered up for the crime, were all there, present and accounted for in person. The Pioneer Fund crowds via Paul Fromm and J. Phillipe Rushton, the Liberty Lobby crowd via David Duke's friends Richard Weems and John Rarick, the Holocaust Denial IHR crowd via that British National Party Politician, the Stormfront American Nazi Party crowd via Wigginton, none other than the YAF Young Republican crowds of Thurmond, Willoughby and Morris, the Canadian neo Right crowds from the World Anti Communist League and Linda Wayne's website. Don't you get it? Don't you even pay attention? Do you fail to see the evidence right before your eyes? They were all there, together, making common cause in front of the media spotlight for everyone and anyone to see. http://www.nizkor.org

Wow, this is incredible. THEY are beating the SAME DEAD HORSE. THEY are playing the anti-Semitic Holocaust

Denial card. THEY are beating the racist card. THEY are playing the YAF and The John Birch cards. THEY are

beating the British Nationalist drum. THEY are beating the White Supremacist drum, playing the Stormfront and ANP cards, the Populist Party card, The Pioneer Fund Bell Curve cards, here in the USA because neither Canada nor England will let them do it. THEY are playing the Super Patriot card. And YOU are still blind to what they are doing? Wow.

You really either don't get it or are just ignorant or blind to what is happening right before your rose colored glasses.

Which is it? Go to YAFWatch.blogspot.com and listen to all the UTube videos and write down the names then take

out a crayon and connect the dots and compare them to the Willis Carto IHR and Liberty Lobby list above. Thanks.

No, you don't get it!

If it hadn't been for the availability of Prouty's works through this house, I never would've been able to have access to his material or his works.

O.K. mods. I deleted the ad hominen. You can allow this post to go up now.

Political Organizations & Activities

National Youth Alliance

In his book "Brotherhood of Murder," Martinez mentions the National Youth Alliance, which had its beginnings as "Youth for Wallace," and was formed during the Wallace Presidential campaign of 1968. He notes that Dr. William Pierce, whom he describes as a "Nazi," along with several founders of George Lincoln Rockwell's National Socialist White People's Party, joined the organization in the late Sixties.

The information he provides which relates to Carto's involvement in this group is sketchy, to say the least:

The behind-the-scenes power in the NYA was Willis Carto, head of the far right-wing, Washington, D.C.-based Liberty Lobby, publisher of an anti-Zionist magazine called 'Spotlight' and also publisher of a book that teaches terrorist urban warfare tactics.

Martinez continues with "After wresting control of the group from Carto..." and no further references are to be found. (Martinez, 33)

The neo-Nazi group The National Alliance grew out of "The National Youth Alliance," and is now controlled by Dr. William Pierce.

I would appreciate receiving any additional, documented, information regarding Carto's involvement with this group, and invite your contributions. ("Brotherhood of Murder" tells of Martinez' involvement with The Order, the neo-nazi organization responsible for the murder of Denver talk-show host Alen Berg and others.)

The Populist Action Committee (Richard Hatch, May, 1993)

In 1991, the Populist Action Committee (PAC) was "formally launched by the Liberty Lobby, the Washington-based populist institution that publishes The Spotlight." (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) The PAC is intimately tied to the Spotlight, which is "a prime mover behind the PAC." (Spotlight, 9-9-91, A-3) Unlike conventional political action committees, the PAC will not give money directly to candidates for office, but rather will "promote and publicize populist candidates, urging patriots to make direct contributions to these candidates." (Ibid)

The Kick-Off

The featured speaker at the kick-off meeting was "English populist" John Tyndall of the British National Party. (Spotlight, 6-3-91, 1) Tyndall is a British "former" National Socialist who has been quoted as saying "The Jew is like a maggot feeding on a body in an advanced state of decay." (Knight, 47) The selection of Tyndall as featured speaker for the founding meeting is an indication of the political direction of the Populist Action Committee. Tyndall was a founder of the British National Party in 1960. (Hill, page??) The original BNP was "pro-nazi and anti-semitic" and later merged with other far-right groups to form the National Front in 1967. The NF promoted the exclusion of non-whites from England. (Fielding, 67-68)

Tyndall resurrected the old BNP name when he founded a new party after the collapse of the National Front. As noted in a "Spotlight" interview, the BNP publishes _British Nationalist_ and _Spearhead_. (Spotlight, 6-24-91, 16-17) The name "Spearhead" is a throwback to the paramilitary organization in which Tyndall was active during the original BNP days. Tyndall, who sported Nazi-style stormtrooper attire in those days, was "gaoled" for his involvement in this paramilitary group. (Hill, 61)

Promoting "Populist Candidates"

According to Liberty Lobby founder Willis Carto, the PAC "will be promoting populist candidates." (Spotlight, 6-10-91, 11) The PAC does this in part by publicizing the activities of such candidates in the "Spotlight".

Fields is a notorious far-right activist from Southern California who in 1987 "identified himself to reporters as a member of the National Socialist American Workers Party." (Los Angeles Times March 11, 1988, 30, section 1)

Art Jones was singled out for publicity in a special PAC "wrap" addition to the Spotlight. (Spotlight, 3-9-92, A-2) The PAC identified Jones as one of "seven viable candidates for public office who are dedicated to the principles of populism...With your help, there is a chance to elect candidates unbeholden to special interests now plunging our country into ruin."

"Spotlight" went on to note that "Jones has been connected to far-right nationalist groups in the Chicago area by the local media." (Spotlight, 2-24-92, 7)

In fact, local media reports had identified Jones as a leader in the American Nazi Party.

Phillipe Rushton, the Liberty Lobby crowd via David Duke's friends Richard Weems and John Rarick, the Holocaust Denial IHR crowd via that British National Party Politician, the Stormfront American Nazi Party crowd via Wigginton, none other than the YAF Young Republican crowds of Thurmond, Willoughby and Morris, the Canadian neo Right crowds from the World Anti Communist League and Linda Wayne's website. Don't you get it? Don't you even pay attention? Do you fail to see the evidence right before your eyes? They were all there, together, making common cause in front of the media spotlight for everyone and anyone to see. http://www.nizkor.org

Wow, this is incredible. THEY are beating the SAME DEAD HORSE. THEY are playing the anti-Semitic Holocaust

Denial card. THEY are beating the racist card. THEY are playing the YAF and The John Birch cards. THEY are

beating the British Nationalist drum. THEY are beating the White Supremacist drum, playing the Stormfront and ANP cards, the Populist Party card, The Pioneer Fund Bell Curve cards, here in the USA because neither Canada nor England will let them do it. THEY are playing the Super Patriot card. And YOU are still blind to what they are doing? Wow.

You really either don't get it or are just ignorant or blind to what is happening right before your rose colored glasses.

Which is it? Go to YAFWatch.blogspot.com and listen to all the UTube videos and write down the names then take

out a crayon and connect the dots and compare them to the Willis Carto IHR and Liberty Lobby list above. Thanks.

No, you don't get it! Some of the above mentioned couldn't get published through the mainstream "Mockingbird" media, when they decided to blow the whistle, and therefore had to resort to being published through Liberty Lobby/Noontide Press. If it hadn't been for the availability of Prouty's works through this house, I never would've been able to have access to his material or his works.

O.K. mods. I deleted the ad hominen. You can allow this post to go up now.

OK, one at a time from the list above until you SEE the PATTERN here...

Notice this posted link ends with a Richard Giebrecht Winnipeg Airport Incident attendee... from WACL.

Let me know when you get it. Let me know when you recognize that the persons above from the PAC

list all share common ground, they share common cause and they spout common rhetoric.

responded (Thu Apr 29, 1993) to my post of factual information

concerning Mark Lane and Fletcher Prouty

I did not, of course, use McVay as a source for the facts I

posted. I merely noted that McVay had posted much material,

including lengthy verbatim quotes from Willis Carto. Gaut did not

refute my citation to Carto's support for the American Nazi

Party.

Gaut introduces a red herring by quoting statements made by

others in an apparent attempt to avoid dealing with the

documented material I posted. I merely noted that McVay has

already posted voluminous materials on Carto.

McVay and I have been able to independently verify many facts

concerning Willis Carto and the Liberty Lobby. I am not posting

to convince Gaut, but rather to inform others about independently

verifiable evidence concerning rightwing groups.

For those who may wish yet another source on Carto and the

Liberty Lobby, I would recommend _The Liberty Lobby and the

American Right: Race, Conspiracy, and Culture_ by Frank P. Mintz

(Greenwood Press, Westport Connecticut, 1985.) This documented

study of the history of the Lobby makes interesting reading. To

return to the point which Gaut avoided. The publication _Right_,

was put out by the forerunner of the Liberty Lobby, Carto's

Liberty and Property organization. _Right_ revealed many of

Carto's viewpoints:

During 1958-1960, the anti-Jewish propaganda in _Right_

intensified concurrently with the bulletin's growing

tendency to eulogize past and present advocates of

paramilitarism or extreme racial and cultural monism. In

1958, _Right_ defended the newly created racist

paramilitarist National States Rights Party, whose formation

as a fusion from the splinter United White Party and States

Rights Party the bulletin announced in July 1958.

In role as bridge between the right and paramilitarism,

_Right_ since 1958 had given publicity to George Lincoln

Rockwell and future leaders of American Nazism. That year,

the bulletin had reported Rockwell's gubernatorial primary

bid in Georgia. In February 1959, it called attention to a

Rockwell pamphlet, "Who's a Hate-Monger?" The following

month, _Right_ featured articles by Edward Fields and Matt

Koehl, who assumed leadership of Rockwell's organzation [The

American Nazi Party] after the latter's assassination in

1959.

[_The Liberty Lobby and the American Right: Race,

Conspiracy, and Culture_ by Frank P. Mintz, Greenwood Press,

Westport Connecticut, 1985, pp. 77-78]

Carto's interest in the Klan and similar groups did not end with

the closing of _Right_. In 1975, the _Spotlight_ printed a puff

piece about the Ku Klux Klan on October 31, 1975, page 3, with a

photo showing a burning cross (_Klan No Longer `Invisible

Empire', October 31, 1975, page 3.) In that issue, David Duke is

shown in Klan uniform and identified as the director of the

Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

>> On December 20, 1991, KPFA programmer Dennis Bernstein hosted

>> Liberty Lobby lawyer Mark Lane. Bernstein, who has publicly

>> defended Liberty Lobby affiliate Fletcher Prouty, failed to probe

>> Lane regarding his connection to the Lobby.

Gaut's remark about Lane being Jewish is puzzling. Does Gaut mean

to say that one's politics are determined by one's religion or

ethnic background?

Lane did not mention his Liberty Lobby affiliation during the

interview. During the interview, Lane did mention in detail a

court case related to the Liberty Lobby and the Institute for

Historical Review. Lane's connection to the Liberty Lobby was

highly relevant to the discussion at hand. Of course, not

everyone in Bernstein's listening audience had read _Plausible

Denial_ and therefore many might not have known of Lane's close

relation to Willis Carto.

Mark Lane's supposed investigation of the Liberty Lobby (his

employer as a laywer) is laughable.

>Why should he have treated him shabbily?

Once again, of course, I did not say he should have been treated

shabbily. Asking a radio guest about their work with an outfit

described as "the most notorious anti-Semitic organization in the

country" could hardly be considered shabby treatment, unless one

would rather have such discussion suppressed.

Bernstein defended Prouty's association with the Liberty Lobby

and its Populist Action Committee (PAC), of which Gaut must be

well aware. Prouty has been repeated listed as an advisory board

member of the PAC in the pages of the _Spotlight_, where he sits

in the company of activists like Eustace Mullins. Also in the

pages of _Spotlight_, Prouty has been listed as appearing dozens

of times on the Liberty Lobby sponsored radio program and on

numerous occasions as a speaker at Liberty Lobby sponsored

events. Oddly, Bernstein's defense seemed to be that Prouty must

be mentally impaired to allow himself to be associated with the

likes of the Lobby. Prouty's beliefs concerning the Kennedy

assassination are another of Gaut's red herrings.

Gaut is free to believe that the best political course to

preserve his freedoms is to link up with racist and anti-Jewish

activists. Others are free to believe that it is against their

own best interests to collaborate with elements who would deprive

them of their rights as soon as they achieved the means to do so.

>By the way, where was your outcry against the government's

>travesty of justice in Waco?

Once again, Gaut uses the red herring. My opinion on Waco has

nothing to do with the facts concerning Willis Carto, Mark Lane,

and Fletcher Prouty. I suppose that next Gaut will trot out a

baseless charge that somehow my failure to echo his analysis of

the events in Waco proves I support the government's actions.

Gaut seems to believe that any group which arms itself heavily

and shoots it out with the cops must be good. Gaut also seems to

be ignorant of previous case histories of alternative religious

movements that have engaged in violence and other crimes against

their flocks and others. To mention just a few such cases:

members of the Hari Krishnas movement murdered some dissidents,

leaders of the Aryan Nations robbed and killed, high members of

the Church of Scientology were convicted of various crimes,

etc...

**********Spotlight News*********

The May 3, 1993 issue of the _Spotlight_ carries the following

statement in boldface print on page 2:

Why didn't somebody tell them? In spite of the deafening din

of "Holocaust" publicity in all of the news media, 22

percent of the population believes it is a myth...Primarily

responsible for this situation must be the Institute for

Historical Review, a California think-tank comprised of

revisionist historians and investigators who long ago

established that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz,

contrary to what all the history books all say.

As documented in a previous post:

In 1980 the business license for "The Noontide

Press/Institute for Historical Review" was filed by

Elisabeth Carto, wife of Liberty Lobby founder and treasurer

Willis Carto. Carto himself is listed on IHR's letterhead as

"founder." IHR's activities are regularly promoted in the

_Spotlight_, as are the racist and anti-Semitic books by

Noontide Press, which are advertised as part of the Lobby's

"Liberty Library."

[Response to letter by Mark Weber, Paul Rauber, _The

Express_, January 17, 1992, page 4.]

The _Spotlight_ gives credit to the Carto-linked IHR for the

supposedly widespread public belief that the Holocaust is a

"myth."

Also, the same issue of the _Spotlight_ carries the statement:

"All classified ads are subject to approval. Publisher reserves

right to reject advertising with or without cause being

assigned." Nonetheless, on the same page as the Liberty Lobby

Reports column, the issue has a quarter page ad for Cliveden

Press which is selling _Shockley on Eugenics and Race_, _Races of

Britain_, and _The Wandering of Peoples_. The latter promises

"photographs illustrating the differences between Europeans

Negritoes, Pygmies, Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc..." The

classified section yields ads from groups like the Aryan

Awareness Movement, and for publications on "White America",

"Chemistry of the Holocaust", "Return of the White Man", etc...

The masthead of the May 3, 1993 edition of _Spotlight_ lists

Robert Weems with the Southern Bureau. Weems is a former KKK

leader, as documented in a previous post. The Canadian member of

the international bureaus is Ron Gostick. Of Ron Gostick, the

following is of note:

The Canadian League chapter [of the World Anti-Communist

League] the Freedom Council of Canada, is controlled by Ron

Gostick and Patrick Walsh, both officers of the anti-Semitic

(non-governmental) Canadian Intelligence Service, ith Walsh

doubling as the Canadian correspondent of the Liberty Lobby

in the United States.

[_Inside the League_, by Scott Anderson and John Lee

Anderson, Dodd, Mead and Company, New York, 1986, page 154.]
