-Caveat Lector- .............................................................. Forwarded from the Internet Conspiracy Community: From: Ian Goddard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Murder of Mumia Scheduled Date: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 11:50 PM Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge just signed the death warrant for African-American activist and journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal. The state-sponsored murder of Mumia is scheduled for December 2, 1999. If you can, please protest on his behalf (http://mumia.org/story1.html). The key witness whose testimony doomed Mumia admitted that her testimony was coerced by police. When she informed the court of this criminal outrage during an appeal for a new trial, the presiding judge had her ARRESTED ON THE SPOT on an old bad-check charge!! In so doing the judge was a willing party to an on-going effort to intimidate that witness in an effort to have Mumia killed in a state-sponsored ritual murder. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19991013/ts/crime_mumia_1.html Below is my report on the witness intimidation, below that is an article written by Mumia on Waco. Also be sure to read Richard Poe's NewsMax article on MOVE, "The Waco Before Waco," where the FBI helped police bomb the MOVE group and then blame it on MOVE: http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/9/22/85323 http://users.erols.com/igoddard/no-recan.htm (free 2 copy (*)-----------------(free 2 forward) J U D G E B A R S T R U T H I N A B U - J A M A L A P P E A L By Ian Williams Goddard (11/02/96) A key witness, Veronica Jones, whose testimony previously doomed MOVE activist Mumia Abu-Jamal to a death sentence for the Dec. 9, 1981 death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, recently recanted her testimony, stating that her story was the result of police coercion.[1] However, the judge ruled yesterday that her testimony must be barred from being a factor of consideration in the ongoing appeal for a new trail in Philadelphia. [2] Ms. Jones stated during appeals for a new trail that right after Faulkner was shot, she told pol- ice that she saw two men running from the crime scene. Abu-Jamal, a founding member of the Black Panther party, could not possibly run because he, caught in the cross-fire of the shoot out, was shot and seriously wounded. What is more, the officer was shot with a .44 caliber gun while Abu-Jamal carried a .38 caliber gun. [3] Soon after her report to police, Ms. Jones found herself in prison charged with armed robbery. Ms. Jones says that two officers visited her in her prison cell and said that the 10-year prison charge would be dropped IF she would falsify her testimony to say that she saw nobody running from the crime scene, thereby effectively framing po- litical activist Abu-Jamal. To ensure her free- dom, she agreed to falsify her story. But 14 years later, she came clean with the truth. Yet now Judge Albert Sabo, who presided over Abu-Jamal's original legal railroading, has just ruled that her new testimony must be barred as a factor of consideration in the appeal for a new trial. The judge said that this time the testimony of Veronica has suddenly become ``worthy of little or no belief,'' i.e., it's become unreliable. [2] This is an attempt of the judge to scrub reality out of existence; an attempt to prohibit all that threatens to liberate this man from chains and from the hangman's noose. Clearly, this part of a continuing conspiracy to kill a man, an outspoken critic of police brutality, that evidence strongly suggests is innocent. As if all this was not enough to prove that Abu-Jamal is continuing to be railroaded, consider this: As Veronica was recanting her previously coerced testimony during appeal hearings, before she could even walk off the witness stand, she was ARRESTED on the spot on an old bad-check charge. Judge Sabo had courtroom deputies arrest her, handcuff her, and take her into custody right off the stand!! [4] If we needed evidence that her previous testimony had been coerced, we surely got it right in the courtroom, with the hanging judge orchestrating the coercion this time. Abu-Jamal's attorney, Leonard Weinglass, blasted this gross act of intimidation, stating: ``It's brutal, it's coercive, it's shock- ing. It shouldn't happen...in this country.''

Again" - Column by Mumia Date: 05 Oct 1999 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <7tbs3o$jvr$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WACO, ... AGAIN Column #427 -- Written September 9, 1999 "Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed." -- Journalist I.F. Stone (1907-1989) With the recent revelation that FBI agents fired several "incendiary devices" into the flimsy, wooden home, headquarters and church of the Branch Davidian religious commune near Waco, Texas, began renewed charges that the agencies and operatives of the U.S. Government sparked the deadly conflagration that left 80 men, women and children incinerated. For over 6 years the U.S. Justice Department said no such flammable canisters were used at any time on April 19, 1993. For over six years government officials lied, insisting that the Branch Davidians killed themselves by setting the fire in any orgy of suicidal violence. Now, who can really say? The "incendiary devices" story was broken, not by a major U.S. newspaper, or network, but by an independent filmmaker and journalist. The national media is just following somebody else's play. When the state attacked MOVE headquarters on May 13th, 1985, they also blamed MOVE people, saying they set their own home and headquarters aflame, incinerating themselves! To date, almost 15 years after the police mass murder of MOVE men, women, and children (11 people), the *only* person to serve even an hour of jail was MOVE survivor Ramona Africa, "guilty" only of surviving. Similarly, the WACO survivors have been socked into prison for exorbitant periods of time, based, at least in part, on FBI and government lies at trial. According to at least one source, there was U.S. Army Delta Force members active at WACO. The magazine "Soldier of Fortune", as early as its August 1996 issue, reports Delta wasn't some background, observing outfit. "SOF" cites sources which claim Delta actually talked U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno into the chemical and armored assault on Mount Carmel. The magazine quotes a Department of Defense attorney saying the Delta unit members were "forward deployed" on the inner perimeter surrounding Mt. Carmel, adding that Delta's role in the assault was "much more advisory than observatory; active, not passive." And now, the same government promises to, once again, "investigate" Waco. We are witnessing the birth of but another, "new and improved," whitewash. @1999 Mumia Abu-Jamal ------------------------------------------------------------ GODDARD'S JOURNAL: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/journal.htm ____________________________________________________________ *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.
